《Immortal Mortal》 Chapter 1: The Fallen Prince Chapter 1: The Fallen Prince Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Prologue: ¡°Hahahaha¡­ Ruoyin, I was finally able to refine the Channel Opening Solution. I¡¯ve succeeded¡­¡± Inside a messy lab, Mo Wuji started laughing, clutching a porcelain bottle in his hand as if he had gone mad. ¡°Ding¡­¡± A glass cup fell onto the ground, spilling tea everywhere. A beautiful girl in a crimson red cheongsam stood by the doorway, blankly staring at the hysterical Mo Wuji. Only after a good while did she speak in a shivering voice, ¡°Wuji, did you succeed? Did you really succeed?¡± Mo Wuji stared at the beautiful girl standing at the entrance. He knew that Xia Ruoyin had come to serve him a cup of tea. This piece of information had shocked Xia Ruoyin greatly; due to her excitement, the cup slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. ¡°Ruoyin, there is absolutely no error this time around. I just tried half of the bottle, but I could clearly feel as if a fire was burning down my meridians as they are gradually being opened and expanded. At the moment, my meridians are still in the process of opening, but we have succeeded.¡± Mo Wuji, while holding the porcelain bottle, excitedly walked up to the girl and grabbed her hands. ¡°Ruoyin, it has been hard for you. In all these years, I have been dedicated to researching the Channel Opening Solution and I did not take care of you. Instead, you had to take care of me. Let us marry. Afterward, we will start a company specializing in the production of the Channel Opening Solution. I believe our business will soon be a sensation throughout the world.¡± The girl finally calmed down, but she still spoke in a shivering voice, ¡°Did you take down the drug formula?¡± Mo Wuji nodded his head, ¡°Ruoyin, don¡¯t worry. I have all the information on my laptop. Here, take a look¡­¡± After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his laptop. Suddenly, he felt something cold, followed by an excruciating pain from his back. Upon seeing the tip of a blade emerging from his chest, he realized that someone had stabbed him through his heart from his back. The pain caused him to feel extremely dizzy and his strength started to fade away. Mo Wuji slowly turned his head around as he unconsciously looked at the hands clasping the blade. It was Xia Ruoyin¡¯s. With his eyes wide open, he muttered, ¡°Ruoyin¡­ Why? Why?¡± He still could not believe that his lover whom he had loved dearly for many years would stab him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Wuji. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Xia Ruoyin¡¯s hands were trembling as a shudder went through her whole body. She had killed her lover. He was the man who she had loved for over a decade and the one who had showered her with endless affection. Two teardrops appeared at the corners of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. He felt his body becoming colder by the second. He gradually lost his consciousness and his eyes began to lose its luster. However, he still did not want to close his eyes. He kept on staring at Xia Ruoyin as he murmured, ¡°If you wanted the formula¡­ you just had to say it and I would have given it to you¡­ why?¡± Mo Wuji did not shed his tears because he was dying. For as long as he could remember, he had never cried in his life. However, today, what hurt the most was not the injury on his back, but the pain caused by the betrayal of his lover. Perhaps even Xia Ruoyin did not know her position in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. If she had asked for it, Mo Wuji would have willingly died for her. However, Xia Ruoyin, the woman who he would have gladly died for, had stabbed him on this fateful day. Maybe the question would remain unanswered for a long time. Perhaps he would not even be able to rest in his grave. His dim eyes finally closed, leaving the two teardrops by the corners of his eyes. ¡°Pa-ta¡­¡± Xia Ruoyin also shed two lines of tears, which fell on the corners of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, washing away his teardrops. ----------------------------------- The Fallen Prince "Gua¡­." The shrill sound of a crow woke Mo Wuji up. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a single crow flying above him, quickly disappearing together with its shrill cries. ¡°Where am I?¡± Mo Wuji felt strange. He seemed to be sitting on a newly piled up tomb, surrounded by seven to eight children kneeling in front of him. Among them, a young girl wearing a floral blue skirt was holding a bamboo basket beside him. As Mo Wuji was still confused about the situation, the young girl whispered with a gentle voice, ¡°Everyone behaved well today, however, there are no more sweets left so let us call it a day and come back tomorrow to continue playing.¡± ¡°Were these games played in the previous emperor¡¯s dynasty? Why does this scene feel so familiar?¡± Mo Wuji was shocked because this scene resembled the last scene of the novel in which Mu Rongfu was in. Mu Rongfu became crazy because of what he had to do for his country. His beautiful cousin and childhood sweetheart Wang Yuyan left him for another man, and in the end, all he had left by his side was a servant named Abi. This present scene is the scene after Mu Rongfu went crazy because of his lost country and Abi gathered a few children to play with him. "Long live my King, goodbye my King. We will be back for more sweets tomorrow¡­" The children dispersed after chanting these words in a non-orderly manner. Mo Wuji gazed all over the place, and he noticed a few young men and women were walking by. When he rested his eyes on a lady wearing a purple skirt, he was so infatuated by her beauty that he completely forgot about his current situation. The lady in the purple skirt exchanged looks with Mo Wuji. She looked confused, sympathetic and was disappointed with him. The other young and attractive men and women seemed to be discussing and laughing about him while they passed by. ¡°Can¡¯t be¡­¡± All of a sudden, Mo Wuji thought of a horrible scenario. ¡°Could it be that after my death, I was reborn into Mu Rongfu¡¯s body? Did our souls really crossed over to other bodies in this world?¡± ¡°And why would my soul crossover? What was I doing before this?¡± At this point, Mo Wuji started to have a headache. He finally recalled that after he successfully developed the solution, his lover who he was willing to die for backstabbed him. With this thought, Mo Wuji¡¯s entire spirit was overwhelmed with sadness¡­ His throbbing headache caused him to think of this matter no further. There was an excessive amount of information flooding into his head. It was only after two full hours that Mo Wuji finally understood what was actually happening. He realized that this was not the Song dynasty anymore, and he was not just reborn into Mu Rongfu¡¯s body. This was not even Earth! He was currently in Rao Zhou City, the national capital of Cheng Yu state. He was called Mo Xinghe, the prince of Northern Qin Prefecture. His father named him Mo Xinghe after the Xing Han Empire. Mo Xinghe could not recall exactly how big this world was, but he knew that Xing Han Empire is not the only empire. Every empire was divided into states, and every states were further divided into many prefectures. Mo Xinghe belonged to Northern Qin Prefecture under Cheng Yu State, and Cheng Yu belonged to the Xing Han Empire. Nineteen years ago, Mo Xinghe¡¯s grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, was the Northern Qin Prefecture¡¯s lord. After he arrived at Cheng Yu state, he suddenly disappeared. As a result, Northern Qin Prefecture needed a new lord, and this lord needed to have the approval of the State Lord. If it was not for Mo Tiancheng¡¯s sudden disappearance, Mo Tiancheng could have passed the throne directly to his children and reported it to the State Lord. However, Mo Tiancheng was missing and he did not pass his throne to anyone officially. Hence, the successor must now personally head to the state to take over the throne in front of all the other prefecture and state lords. Mo Xinghe¡¯s parents decided to bring Mo Xinghe to Rao Zhou City for two reasons. Firstly, they wanted to locate Mo Tiancheng. Secondly, Mo Xinghe¡¯s father, Mo Guangyuan, had always wanted to gain recognition from the other lords and succeed his father¡¯s throne. Originally, succeeding the throne was a simple affair. Nobody expected it to turn out to be filled with so many different obstacles. Mo Xinghe''s parents have spent countless amounts of money, and ran around for more than a decade; however, they were still unable to succeed the throne. Mo Xinghe¡¯s parents died of illness and Mo Xinghe inherited his father¡¯s obsession to succeed the throne. With the death of Mo Xinghe''s parents, the Mo family finally exhausted all their money. Mo Xinghe was then on the move for several years without achieving anything meaningful. When he found out that Northern Qin Prefecture had been taken over by Cheng Yu¡¯s lord, Mo Xinghe went crazy and was then reborn as Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also managed to recall who the lady in a purple skirt was. Her name was Wen Manzhu and her father was very close friends with Mo Xinghe¡¯s parents. Mo Xinghe and Wen Manzhu were childhood sweethearts and even though they were not promised to one another, everyone agreed that both of them would grow up and be together. Ever since the Mo Clan lost their opportunity to ascend the throne, along with the death of Mo Xinghe¡¯s parents and the loss of Mo Xinghe¡¯s sanity, the Wen Clan gradually disregarded Mo Xinghe. As Wen Manzhu grew up, she grew apart from Mo Xinghe and went closer to the princes from other more influential families. Upon feeling two drops of tears on the back of the hand, Mo Wuji raised his head from his knees and saw that it was a sad young girl, marked with a scar on her face. Just like how Abi faithfully stayed beside Mu Rongfu, this girl called Yan¡¯Er was the only person who stayed by him despite only being his servant. If not for Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji would have never been reborn and no one would have known how long the original Mo Xinghe would have been dead. Other than the scar on her face, Yan¡¯Er also suffered from malnutrition. She was pale, her hair was all blonde, and she lacked the vibrant energy of a typical young lady. ¡°It still doesn¡¯t make sense¡­¡± Mo Wuji shivered. The Mo Clan was still a part of the royal clan, so even if Mo Xinghe¡¯s father was not able to succeed the throne, in this rich country, he still should not have died of illness in poverty. Was it not possible for him to leave Rao Zhou City and return to the Northern Qin Prefecture as soon as possible? Alternatively, was it that there was no escorts or money given to the Mo Clan? There was certainly something wrong here¡­ Mo Wuji looked up and saw Yan¡¯Er wiping her slightly reddish eyes as she gently asked, ¡°My King, can we return now?¡± Mo Wuji bowed his head and sighed, for not only Yan¡¯Er but also his current state and body. Even while playing such a childish game, Yan¡¯Er still had to be polite and ask for permission as if she was really in an empire state. However, Mo Wuji recuperated very quickly and felt that he should be upset at himself the most. He had mixed feelings about whether he should be grateful that he was not dead, heartbroken that his lover was the one who plotted against him or saddened that he could no longer return to Earth. Seeing Mo Wuji not say anything after a while, the overly cautious Yan¡¯Er spoke again, ¡°My King, the sky is getting darker¡­¡± Mo Wuji sighed as he looked at the distant setting sun. He was unsure of whether it was because he thought of Mo Xinghe, or if he was just lamenting about his own destiny. He eventually said, "Let¡¯s go back¡­¡± He saw Yan¡¯Er¡¯s surprised look on her face, without feeling the need to explain any further, he sighed and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the dynasty¡­¡± Having said that, he wanted to stand up, pat off the soil on his legs, and leave. However as his leg were crossed for a long time, they were numb and asleep. Fortunately, Yan¡¯Er was there to help him up. As Yan¡¯Er helped him out of the sparse forest, Mo Wuji was busy rearranging the thoughts that remained on his mind. "What kind of world is this...?¡± The two quietly walked for a few minutes, when Mo Wuji mumbled this to himself. ¡°My King, what did you just say?¡± Yan¡¯Er asked as she did not quite understand what Mo Wuji said earlier. Mo Wuji shook his head, ¡°Yan¡¯Er, please do not call me your King anymore. Address me by my name.¡± Because both Mo Wuji and Yan¡¯Er will still be living together in the future, there was still some explaining left to do. Feeling a bit touched, Yan¡¯Er asked excitedly while carrying a bamboo basket with her trembling hands and teary eyes, ¡°Young master, are you feeling better?¡± Mo Wuji replied with a slightly hesitant smile, ¡°Perhaps I have not completely recovered or remembered everything, but I will not act and dream like an idiot as before anymore.¡± Mo Wuji was afraid he would let the cat out of the bag, so he simply stated that he had not completely recovered. "Then¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er seemed like she wanted to say something, yet she did not dare to. Mo Wuji knew Yan¡¯Er wanted to ask if he still wanted to play with these children tomorrow, but she was afraid that after playing these games, it would remind him of the previous dynasty¡¯s incident and make him crazy again. Patting Yan¡¯Er¡¯s back, Mo Wuji laughed and said, ¡°I have lived the Emperor¡¯s life before and I am now sick of it already. Let us not come tomorrow and instead, we should think about how to carry on living tomorrow.¡± Yan¡¯Er dropped the bamboo basket she was holding, tears rolling down her cheeks with her knees on the floor. She can¡¯t seem to stop mumbling to herself¡­ Chapter 2: Living is Difficult Chapter 2: Living is Difficult Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji did not help Yan¡¯Er up. He could feel that after Mo Xinghe went crazy, Yan¡¯Er bore a lot of pressure and suffering. At the moment, he just watched the distant shadows of the high-rise buildings as he secretly clenched his fist. ¡°Even if I have to start from scratch, what''s wrong with that?¡± Although it seemed to be a monarchy in this world, the levels of science and technology were similar to that of Earth. There was a public transport system and electronic devices and equipments. How could he still be afraid that he cannot survive? ¡°Yan¡¯Er, let''s go back first,¡± Mo Wuji said, watching the tall buildings as he pulled up Yan¡¯Er who was still at a loss. Even if he was reborn from Earth, he probably cannot recapture the Northern Qin Prefecture back. He may not be able to dream about being a king, but Mo Wuji still had the confidence that he could establish a foothold here. After all, he was a top biological and botanist in the past. It was precisely because he was able to extract the essence from a number of plants and concoct it into a solution that could open the meridians, which caused his lover to plot against him. Consequently, this was why he was ultimately reborn in this place. He was still unsure about the value of his solution. The existence of meridians had always been in a gray area even though meridians were often mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine. In actuality, how many people could prove the existence of meridians and even write a research paper about it? But, could one imagine? What if the meridians could be expanded to the point where they could actually be felt? How much more powerful would one be? One could participate in the Olympic long-distance running or weightlifting events and still have a chance of winning. The only thing he did not expect, however, was that his lover, whom he would have spent his life and death with, would plot against him. Until now, he did not understand why she would, at the moment of his success, backstab him with a dagger. ¡°Yes, Master...¡± Yan¡¯Er finally calmed down, her eyes containing a glimmer. Mo Wuji helplessly said, ¡°Yan¡¯Er, do I look like a young master? From now on, call me by my name. The past is the past. Today is a new beginning. My name will no longer be Mo Xinghe, but Mo Wuji. ¡° ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Yan¡¯Er quickly responded. Mo Wuji did not continue to persuade her; some habits were too hard to change. ¡°The sky''s going to be dark, let''s go back. Tomorrow, I will go find a job.¡± Although Mo Wuji had not returned home, he had some ideas. With his parents'' death and his family''s wealth emptied, the Mo Family had long gone bankrupt. Afterward, Mo Xinghe went mad. In addition to work, Yan''Er also had to play this silly game with Mo Wuji. The fact that they could survive was already not bad. ¡°Master, you don''t have to find a job. From now on, just don''t come out every day. I can find another job. That will be enough.¡± After hearing Mo Wuji say he wanted to find a job, Yan¡¯Er hastened to stop him. Mo Wuji just looked at Yan¡¯Er''s faded dress and the simple hair ornament on her yellow hair, he did not say anything. Some things could not be said clearly by words alone. Until his death, Mo Xinghe did not understand the difficulty Yan¡¯Er went through with him. ¡­ Although there were castle gates and walls at Rao Zhou City, there were no guards. Regardless if it was day or night, anyone was free to come and go. In other words, the city gate and walls of Rao Zhou City were a symbol of status rather than a form of defense for war. Mo Xinghe was determined on restoring his country and did not care about the workings of Rao Zhou City. Mo Wuji could only uncover from the faint memories of Mo Xinghe that Rao Zhou City was very busy. After following Yan¡¯Er into the city, Mo Wuji immediately felt the wild, booming bustle of Rao Zhou City. Spacious streets were filled with a dense flow of people, along with brightly lit shops on both sides of the street. Mo Wuji even suspected that this was a modern city from Earth. This bustling area was naturally not a place where Mo Wuji could afford to live. After the two bypassed the busy streets and walked for nearly an hour, they came to a messy residential area. Here, the lights looked faint and dim. Mo Wuji could see from afar the messy space that they lived in. Even though the rent is almost equal to zero, it was still not what they could afford. If it was not for the sympathy of the landlord, they might not even have a place to sleep. ¡°Aiyo, the king is back. We better quickly make way for this one,¡± An abrupt voice interrupted Mo Wuji''s chain of thought. ¡°Hu Fei, you get out of the way,¡± Yan¡¯Er, who was originally half a step behind Mo Wuji, suddenly stepped forward, like an angry little leopard, pushing Mo Wuji behind her. Under the dim light, Mo Wuji saw a youth with thickly gelled hair. Although he said to make way for Mo Wuji, he stood in the middle of the street without showing the slightest intention of doing so. ¡°Little Yan¡¯Er, Big Brother Hu specially bought half a catty of pig meat for you. You doing this to me makes me feel sad,¡± said Hu Fei while he fiddled around with the lotus leaf packet in his hands. (TL: Chinese food is sometimes wrapped up in lotus/pandan/banana leaves) Mo Wuji''s belly disappointingly rumbled loudly. Yan''Er, who originally wanted to have Hu Fei move out of the way, hesitated while looking at the lotus leaf packet. ¡°Isn''t this better? You and Big Brother Hu aren''t strangers...¡± Hu Fei said, coming over as he moved to put his hand around Yan¡¯Er''s shoulders. Although there was a scar on Yan''Er''s face along with her having an undeveloped body due to poor nutrition, she still had a set of pretty facial features. Yan¡¯Er''s eyes showed signs of hesitation. If she was alone, she would not be bothered about Hu Fei. But today, the young master has not eaten for the whole day, and his stomach was rumbling. Furthermore, there was not even a grain of rice at home. What could she do even if she went back? Mo Wuji did not know what Yan''Er was thinking. He did not wait for Hu Fei¡¯s hands to reach Yan¡¯Er¡¯s shoulders before he kicked out with his foot. Hu Fei did not expect Mo Wuji to react this way. Mo Wuji kicked him squarely in the chest. Mo Wuji felt like he kicked a piece of steel, and he had to take a series of steps back from the strong rebound. ¡°Master, are you alright...¡± Yan¡¯Er quickly ran over, supporting Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji looked at Hu Fei who was only forced back by a single step and could not help but become shocked. His current body was indeed very weak as it was not even able to kick down Hu Fei. Is Hu Fei a martial artist? ¡°You''re courting death...¡± Hu Fei did not expect the weak Mo Xinghe, who only dreamt of being a king, to suddenly act against him. He went into a fury and pulled out a foot-long knife from his waist and rushed towards Mo Wuji. Several bystanders saw Hu Fei rushing towards Mo Wuji, but no one came forward to help. They did not even say a word. ¡°Hu Fei, hurry up and stop! It¡¯s broad daylight and you dare to commit murder?¡± Yan¡¯Er''s face turned pale white, and she did not notice that it was already night time. ¡°Ha ha, I have long wanted to get rid of this idiot. Today, this idiot acted against me first, even if I kill him, I will at most get only a fine. Yan¡¯Er, I am doing this for you. If you follow me, you can have food to eat and clothes to wear...¡± Hu Fei apparently did not intend to stop. Yan¡¯Er turned anxious. There was no other way; she could only use her body to protect Mo Wuji. At this moment, Mo Wuji completely calmed down. From his recollection, Cheng Yu State indeed had such a law. Whether you are right or wrong, if someone acted upon you first and you killed him, you would only receive a small fine. Knowing that it was too late for regrets, Mo Wuji quickly pulled Yan''Er to the side. He calmly stared at Hu Fei and said, ¡°Hu Fei, if you dare to even touch a single hair of mine, you will die a horrible death.¡± Chapter 3: Mortal Roots Chapter 3: Mortal Roots Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji calmly told Hu Fei, "I am still part of the Northern Qin Prefecture royal clan. Even though I did not manage to succeed the throne, I still have my aristocratic title. Do you dare hurt a noble like me? Hu Fei, I¡¯m warning you, even tearing your body from limb to limb by five horses or cutting you up into a thousand pieces would be too light a punishment for you.¡± Hu Fei startled as he realised that even the weakened duke like him still belonged to the royal clan and that he was not someone a lowly personnel like Hu Fei could mess with. Whether or not Mo Wuji was still considered to be part of the royal clan was not for someone like Hu Fei to find out. However Mo Wuji was right in stating that if someone were to hurt a noble, punishment such as tearing the body from limb to limb by 5 horses would indeed be going easy on the offender. Hu Fei realised the consequence of hurting a noble and quickly responded, ¡°My King, I am just joking with you, I would never dare to lay a finger on you.¡± There was no rush to get rid of Mo Wuji, Hu Fei had nothing but time on his side to do a thorough check on whether Mo Wuji¡¯s title was still valid. Mo Wuji calmly walked over to Hu Fei and took the knife from his hand. ¡°What a good knife¡­¡± Mo Wuji knew this knife was exceptionally sharp the moment he got his hands on it. Having let go of the knife in his hands, Hu Fei subconsciously took a few steps back and cautiously observed Mo Wuji. Yan¡¯Er watched over the two of them nervously. Even though the knife is with Mo Wuji now, Yan¡¯Er still could not help but panic. Having served Mo Wuji for a long time, she clearly knew that Mo Wuji was just a civilian like the rest and no longer held any aristocratic title. In other words, since Mo Wuji attacked Hu Fei first, even if Hu Fei were to indeed kill Mo Wuji, Hu Fei would at most be punished with a small fine. Looking at the knife in his hands, Mo Wuji stared at Hu Fei¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Hu Fei, I am not trying to use my position to threaten you. Even if I am no longer part of the royal clan, my ancestors were once dukes and you would not get away by hurting their descendant. Hurting the descendant of a royal blood, isn¡¯t it equivalent to not showing any form of respect for the Cheng Yu State?¡± Mo Wuji gave a cold smirk as he finished his sentence. Hu Fei kept pondering if Mo Wuji was really part of the royal clan. Because if he was not, Hu Fei was confident of finishing him off even though the knife was with Mo Wuji. Upon hearing what Mo Wuji just said, this thought of his disappeared quickly without a trace and he replied, ¡°My King, a lowly personnel like me was just joking with you earlier.¡± Hu Fei also wondered how Mo Wuji¡¯s change in attitude could be so drastic. ¡°I am no longer the King now, scram before I change my mind,¡± Mo Wuji kept Hu Fei¡¯s knife in his boot tube. ¡°Yes, yes Master Mo please take care,¡± Hu Fei¡¯s heart ache as he watched Mo Wuji keep his knife and walk away. That knife had always been with Hu Fei and little did he expect someone to take it away from him today. He would be lying if he said his heart did not ache. ¡°Master, you are no longer¡­¡± As Hu Fei left, Yan¡¯Er cautiously walked over and whispered to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji interrupted and said, ¡°I know, let¡¯s talk when we get back.¡± Even without Yan¡¯Er¡¯s reminder, Mo Wuji would have already guessed he was no longer part of the royal clan. ... They lived in a very cramped space and there was only an old cloth separating the two wooden beds. There was nothing valuable in the house. Mo Wuji knew that anything with worth, even a penny, would have been sold by Yan¡¯Er to buy sweets to play with the children. Mo Wuji saw himself in the scratched mirror hanging in front of his bed. He resembled himself in the past life and his long dry hair was tied very neatly by Yan¡¯Er. Even though his face was pale, it was much better compared it to Yan¡¯Er¡¯s yellowish skinny face. Other than the tired eyes, his slick eyebrows and sharp nose made him look decently handsome. ¡°Master, I will go to Aunt Lu¡¯s house to borrow some rice¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er said the moment she stepped into the house. She still felt that Mo Wuji should have taken and kept the packet of pig head meat from Hu Fei instead of the knife. ¡°Hold on¡­¡± Mo Wuji stopped Yan¡¯Er. Mo Wuji asked Yan¡¯Er the moment he saw her turned her head curiously looking at him, ¡°Yan¡¯Er, Hu Fei seems to be trained in martial arts as he was much stronger than me. He¡¯s a hooligan, but where did he learn them from?¡± From what Mo Wuji could remember, this world was not a place full of top martial artists. What rights did Hu Fei had that he could learn martial arts when the descendant of a noble like himself could not? Yan¡¯Er revealed an expression of disdain and replied, ¡°Hu Fei barely learned a few moves from others, and he cannot even open his spirit. How can he be considered to be true martial artist? I¡¯ve heard from your grandfather that your great grandfather was a true spiritual martial artist.¡± "What is opening of the spirit?" Mo Wuji anxiously asked because in his memory, other than his previous country, there was absolutely nothing else. Could it be that he was wrong and that this place was still a place where one can master martial arts? At this moment, he felt excited and fired up to go all out to learn martial arts if it is really possible now. This was so that if one day he could return to Earth, he could ask her in person: ¡°Why?¡± Yan¡¯Er was not surprised at Mo Wuji not knowing what the opening of spirit is. What surprised Yan¡¯Er the most is that the young master previously could not care less about such things, why is he so curious about it now? She still decided to tell him all that she knew, ¡°Opening of the spirit is helping someone with spiritual roots excite their spiritual roots and open up their spiritual channel. Only those who have excited roots and opened channels would be able to cultivate and master martial arts. I¡¯ve heard that opening more channels during the first try would indicate a greater quality of spiritual roots.¡± Mo Wuji immediately caught two main points from what Yan¡¯Er said. The first is that to learn martial arts, one has to have spiritual roots. Secondly one must be able to open up their spiritual network. ¡°Yan¡¯Er, why did the old master not bring me to open up my spirit?¡± Mo Wuji asked excitedly. Yan¡¯Er tone became deeper and said, ¡°When old master first came to Rao Zhou City, he was too busy trying to succeed the throne. When he realised that it was not possible anymore, he wanted to let you learn martial arts. Old master accumulated enough money for you to test your roots and open your spirit. However after the tests, it was discovered that you possessed mortal roots just like old master. People with mortal roots under normal circumstances cannot excite their roots and hence are unable to learn martial arts. ¡°What are mortal roots?¡± Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank but asked anyway. Having gone through death, what else can he find unacceptable? Yan¡¯Er could feel Mo Wuji¡¯s disappointment, sighing as she said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard from old master that one¡¯s roots will affect one¡¯s martial arts future. Normally, those without spiritual roots are called mortal roots, also known as useless roots. Those with mortal roots are just like everyone else. Those with spiritual roots could cultivate and the grade of one¡¯s spiritual roots could be further divided into different levels. There are the low level, medium level, high level and the top level. I¡¯ve heard people saying there are some with grades even higher than the top level but I¡¯m not too sure what are those levels.¡± ¡°So I only have mortal roots¡­¡± Mo Wuji could no longer hide his disappointment after hearing Yan¡¯Er. Yan¡¯Er tried to comfort Mo Wuji saying, ¡°Young master, even in Cheng Yu State itself there are only a small number of people with spiritual roots. The rest of the people like us only have mortal roots but they are all living just fine, I am sure we will too.¡± Mo Wuji clenched his fist and said, "Yan¡¯Er, I will go and find some work tomorrow. I want to accumulate some money and get ready to try and open my spirit once more.¡± "Ah..." Yan¡¯Er seems to be shocked by Mo Wuji¡¯s decision but understood what he was trying to do. ¡°Young master, please don¡¯t do it. Back then, old master saved up money to test for your roots and despite knowing you have mortal roots, he still tried to open up your spirit only to realise mortal roots will never turn into spiritual roots. After this attempt, old master passed away with an illness not long later¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er¡¯s words might be a little obscured but Mo Wuji understood what she was trying to point out. Back then, if the old master did not try and open Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit, even if he might be poor, he would probably not die of illness. This also proved that the amount of money needed was not a small sum. However having lived in two different worlds, Mo Wuji was not as innocent as Yan¡¯Er. Mo Guangyuan died coincidentally after he tried to open Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit, it probably isn¡¯t something so straightforward like an illness. From the looks of it, if he were to open his spirit, he had to be extra careful. ¡°Do not worry Yan¡¯Er, I have confidence I will be able to earn the money. Tomorrow onwards, you do not have to go borrow rice from Aunt Lu because I will take care of you,¡± Mo Wuji said as he walked over to Yan¡¯Er and gently touched Yan¡¯Er¡¯s undernourished yellowish hair. Yan¡¯Er was so young, could you imagine how much she sacrificed when Mo XingHe¡¯s parents died and she had to take care of a mad Mo XingHe? Aunt Lu was only their landlord, and she had been very accommodating to them all this while. Aunt Lu was a widow and hence her life had not been exactly very good either. Therefore, to always request for rice from her was a form of burden to Aunt Lu too. Mo Wuji was still a top notch botanist in this rather advanced country, how could providing three meals a day be an obstacle to him? Chapter 4: A Rice Bowl Filled With Gratitude Chapter 4: A Rice Bowl Filled With Gratitude Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A change of fate was enough to make one sad, but Mo Wuji did not care. Even if he became a fallen prince, Mo Wuji did not put it to heart. The only thing that made him lost and unwilling was that he is a mortal, a mortal with mortal roots. On Earth, everyone was the same. No one was afraid that they cannot cultivate, and he could excel in other areas. However, in this new world, being unable to cultivate signified a completely lost opportunity. Even if he was determined to be without spiritual roots, without personally testing for it, he will not give up. Harbouring such worrying thoughts, Mo Wuji did not know when he actually fell asleep. Mo Wuji was aroused awake by the fragrant smell of rice, and when he opened his eyes, the sun was already out. As he sat up, he saw a big bowl of rice on the old and broken square table. There was even a dish of pickles and half a cucumber. "Master, you''re awake. Quickly wash up and eat." Without waiting for Mo Wuji to speak, Yan''Er, who was constantly concerned for him, cried out with joy. "You did not sleep last night?" Mo Wuji looked at Yan''Er''s pale face, dark circles and tired eyes, and knew that Yan''Er did not sleep the whole night. "Yesterday, I went to help Aunt Lu set up her stall, and business was very good." Even though Yan¡¯Er was very tired, Mo Wuji could still feel her happiness. Mo Wuji understood the reason for her happiness. As business was good, Aunt Lu gave her more pay. Mo Wuji came down from his wooden bed, reached out and touched Yan''Er''s messy hair, not speaking for a long time. He was certain that this was not the first time Yan''Er worked overnight to feed him. She had long been accustomed to it. This Mo Xinghe must have been a pig. Not only did he stay silent and depended on a young girl, he even spent all his time dreaming about being a king. After returning from work, Yan''Er even had to spend money to buy candy to accompany him to play his king game. "Master, you did not eat much yesterday, quickly wash up and eat," Yan''Er felt that after the young master woke up, there was a lot of change in him, which made her happy. "You go ahead first; I''ll wash up right away," Mo Wuji felt both pitiful and touched. In both his lives, no one has ever treated him like this. His past lover had a cold personality. Even though she was nice to him, she had never moved him like Yan''Er. In the end, she even plotted against him. Yan''Er hurriedly said, "I just ate, young master you..." Yan''Er did not continue talking as she saw the young master walk towards her wooden bed, slowly bending down and picking up a half-eaten black bun by the pillow side. Mo Wuji did not speak; he held the hard, black bun and started to panic. Previously when Yan''Er said that she had ate; he saw some black crumbs by the side of her mouth. He slowly brought the bread to his nose and smelt a hint of rancidness and staleness. There was a stark contrast between this black bun, which gives off a sour taste, and the bowl of fresh, white rice. No wonder why this growing young girl already has a head of dirty, yellow hair. Maybe the rancid smell incited Mo Wuji''s nose; his nose turned sour and his eyes felt itchy. "Master, you can''t eat that..." Yan''Er thought that Mo Wuji was going to eat the black bun, and quickly called out. Mo Wuji gently grabbed Yan''Er''s hands, hands which were rougher than his, and slowly said, "Yan''Er, from now on, whenever I eat, you will eat too. You will never be hungry. Today, don''t go out and help out with the stall. Remember the words of big brother: I will support you now.¡± This rice bowl filled with gratitude, will never be forgotten. "Master ...¡± Yan''Er called out with fear. She was worried about how the young master was acting today. Mo Wuji did not dare to continue talking. He patted Yan''Er''s hands, went outside to wipe the tear stains at the corner of his eyes, and rushed to wash up. ... After breakfast, Mo Wuji went out. Even though he forced Yan''Er to share his breakfast, and forced her to rest before leaving, he still felt bad. He wanted to find a job as soon as possible, so that Yan''Er could live an easier life. ... In the entire Cheng Yu State, Rao Zhou City is the largest and most prosperous city. Walking in the bustling streets, Mo Wuji felt the rhythm of life in Rao Zhou City, and it is not slower than those on Earth. Rao Zhou Association is where Mo Wuji came to find work. This is where everybody would go to find work or employment. Walking into the association, Mo Wuji saw many recruitment windows. Some are long-term job opportunities in some large workshops, and some are temporary job opportunities. In addition, there were many recruit posters, as well as various types of information. In Earth terms, this would be called a multi-functional talent market. The association is enormous. Even though there were more than 1000 people wandering inside, it still felt spacious. Mo Wuji circled around the association for a while, and could see the two jobs which were highly sought after. One was planting medicinal herbs, the other was mineral exploration. Mo Wuji shook his head. Even though this world could be considered a world of science and technology, there was no variety in the advanced home appliances. As such, people do not value electronic experts. The pay of a mechanic is one-third that of a medicinal herb planter, and one-fifth that of a mineral explorer. Mo Wuji did not mind. On Earth, he was a biology expert and he was proficient in botany. Finding a job here, was simply too easy. After some simple comparisons, Mo Wuji soon found many suitable jobs. Rao Zhou pharmaceutical field was hiring a herb grafter, with a monthly pay of 30 silver coins. They were also hiring people proficient in herbs to engage in garden work for 10 silver coins per month. On the other hand, Copper Hill Mining Square was hiring a prospector to appraise their minerals for 50 silver coins per month. As a top biologist, Mo Wuji was confident in appraising minerals and determining their composition. Now, he was looking for a job, and did not care about the job suitability or the workshop state. To him, the one with the highest pay is the best as he would not be working in that job for long. That would be the prospector job. Mo Wuji walked toward the Copper Hill Mining Square booth, and just as he was about to stand at the back of the queue, a nearby window suddenly posted a new job. "Cheng Ling Pill Workshop, urgently hiring several assistant refiners, monthly pay of 10 gold coins..." Mo Wuji immediately stopped walking. He knew the currency here are gold, silver and copper coins. 1 gold coin can be exchanged for 100 silver coins, and that is the equivalent of 10000 copper coins. A monthly pay of 10 gold coins simply outbeats all the rest by miles. Not doing this job, is simply not giving face to his previous expertise as a first-class biologist. Isn''t refining medicine simply pharmacy? On Earth, due to the increased resistance towards virus, the rich gradually gave up on Western medicine. On the contrary, due to the variety of Chinese medicine, and that Chinese medicine contains natural plant extracts, it was more popular. As a top biologist and pharmaceutical master, he knew many companies'' Chinese medicine formulas. Every time he appeared, it was as a mentor. Each time, did he not get a pay of at least 1 million? Mo Wuji walked to the water tower, towards where the Cheng Ling Pill Workshop recruitment window was and sat down. Giving a gentle smile to give himself the aura of an expert, he said "I want to apply for your company¡¯s... uh, for the high paying job." The recruitment officer was a middle-aged woman who looked smart and capable. She saw Mo Wuji sitting in front of the window without taking anything out. Feeling slightly puzzled, she asked, "May I ask which job you are applying for?" "I would like to apply for the drug refining assistant job which was just posted..." Mo Wuji did not complete his sentence before feeling something was wrong. The moment he said that sentence, there was an obvious silence around him. At that moment, almost all eyes were on him. The middle-aged woman looked at Mo Wuji with a face of shock, before recovering her composure, and said in a respectful tone, "May I see your qualification certificates....." Chapter 5: Things That Are Taboo To Me Chapter 5: Things That Are Taboo To Me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations No wonder why the recruitment officer was astounded. No wonder why the surrounding crowd got a shock after hearing that Mo Wuji wanted to apply to be a drug refiner assistant. Although Rao Zhou City was the capital of Cheng Yu state, there were few drug refiner assistants, and much fewer drug refiners. For drug refiner assistants, many were elderly men. Thus it was rare to find a drug refiner assistant as young as Mo Wuji. This was not only in Cheng Yu State, but even in the whole Xing Han Empire. Such a young drug refiner must have great potential and an unimaginable future ahead. It could be said that for a drug refiner assistant as young as Mo Wuji, he will become an actual drug refiner a few decades time if nothing goes wrong. The original copy of a drug refiner assistant qualification? Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. Where would he get such a thing? He subconsciously looked at the shocked expressions and sceptical looks of the surrounding crowd, and finally understood. *Cough*, Mo Wuji continued speaking as though nothing happened, ¡°I have not had the time to take part in the drug refiner assistant qualification test, but I had already reached the level of one.¡± Mo Wuji sensed that the looks from the crowd changed. The recruitment officer settled down, and the cautious look on her face disappeared completely. She did not get angry, but instead calmly asked, ¡°So which drug refiner school did you graduate from? Which drug refiner was your teacher?¡± Mo Wuji scanned the room again; he finally discovered that many applicants were holding a small book in their hands. From this short a distance, he could make out the words on the book held by the applicant closest to him: Rao Zhou mining research school graduating certificate. Mo Wuji never expected that applying for a job here would be the same as on Earth, requiring qualifications. Looking at the circumstances, even if he went to apply for other jobs, without any qualifications, he would still fail. Seeing that the recruitment officer appeared to be increasingly unhappy over time, Mo Wuji could only give an awkward laugh, ¡°Well¡­I am self-taught, so I have neither any graduate certificate nor a teacher.¡± ¡°Ha ha ha¡­¡± Someone in the crowd finally burst into laughter this time. Surprisingly this seemingly impressive drug refiner assistant was only a lying fellow. Cheng Ling Pill Workshop¡¯s recruitment officer did not laugh, but instead had an ominous and scary look on her face. Cheng Ling Pill Workshop was one of the top drug refineries in the whole of Cheng Yu State, how could someone come to make a fool out of her. Seeing that this middle aged woman was in a bad mood and was about to explode, Mo Wuji thought to himself, ¡°This is not good.¡± Right at this moment, a sudden noise interrupted Mo Wuji who was about to speak. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t this our king? My King, why have you come to the association in person? Don¡¯t you have to attend court in the forest outside of the city? Oh, that¡¯s right; my king is here to inspect this place. Look at me, where are my manners, quickly pay respects to the king.¡± The voice was filled with mockery and frivolity, without any of the respect or manners he was talking about. Mo Wuji turned around and saw that it was a young man in grey leisurely clothing walking over; he had seen this man before. It seemed that he was one of the few youngsters walking with Wen Manzhu last night. He had a decent appearance, and looked rather vain. ¡°He¡¯s that Northern Qin Prefecture¡­¡± The middle aged recruitment officer suddenly understood, and the anger shown on her face disappeared. The man was a lunatic, what¡¯s there to get angry about? The surrounding crowd burst into laughter, obviously thinking that Mo Wuji was here as a joke. ¡°Zhaoxu, do you think this is very funny?¡± A cold voice rang out, and the laughter in the association suddenly died down as though as it was locked away. A lady in a purple dress stood at the door of the association, she had a slender waist and long hair, and her stunning looks immediately caused the whole association to turn pale. These details were actually not of much significance, what was significant was that the girl was someone that most of them knew. Wen Manzhu, the only child of Cheng Yu State¡¯s Rao Xian Prefecture Marquis, Wen Ju. A Prefecture Marquis in the whole of Xing Han Empire was like a drop of water in the ocean, a nobody. But in this association and in Rao Zhou, he was of the greatest importance. ¡°Manzhu¡­¡± Zhaoxu awkwardly called out, and only because Wen Manzhu was in a bad mood, he dared not continue. He felt some regret, as he did not notice Wen ManZhu approaching, destroying any good impressing he had left previously on her. He once commented on Mo Wuji in front of Wen Man Zhu, saying that Mo Wuji was excusable based on the circumstances he was in. But his single sentence of mockery caused him to reveal his true self to her. Wen Manzhu ignored Cai Zhaoxu, but instead walk in front of Mo Wuji, took out a cloth pouch and handed it to him. ¡°Xinghe, take this back and give it to Yan¡¯Er.¡± The cloth pouch jingled, so Mo Wuji knew that it was from the clashing of gold coins. For Mo Wuji who was desperately in need of money, he longed for even a single silver coin, what more these gold coins. Mo Wuji felt no animosity towards nor good impression of Wen Man Zhu. Regarding her abandonment of the spiritless and crazy Mo Xinghe, Mo Wuji did not feel angry either. There are too many of this type of people on Earth, too many realists. If the Mo family fell, and Mo Xinghe went insane, Wen Manzhu would definitely leave. There are too many people who will share good fortune with you, but how many would be willing to share your troubles? Because of his current situation and the experiences of his past life, it caused him to have no interest to get to know someone like Wen Manzhu. It doesn¡¯t matter how pretty Wen Manzhu is, he still did not want to get involved with a woman like that. Even if he thirsts for money, he won¡¯t take Wen Manzhu¡¯s money, Mo Wuji lives by his own way, and he has his pride too. Mo Wuji thought of Yan¡¯Er, who will never leave him. How many women out there can be like Yan¡¯Er? You can only meet someone like that once in your life, and it was after praying for it by striking and breaking countless Buddhist wooden fish. Having experienced it, Mo Wuji could only know more clearly how precious this is. ¡°Since it is for Yan¡¯Er, then you should go give it to her yourself,¡± Mo Wuji turned and left after speaking, after walking two steps, he halted, turned around once again and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, I am called Mo Wuji, not Mo Xinghe. The Ji in Bai Wu Jin Ji, but of course I am not without any taboos, some things are still taboo to me.¡± (TL: °ÙÎÞ½û¼É Bai Wu Jin Ji means to be without taboo) Wen Manzhu heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, and her heart unexpectedly throbbed. Is this a change in name? Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, she reacted, quickly shouting, ¡°Xinghe... Wuji, Yan¡¯Er is not willing to take it, you should take it¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er was not willing to take it? Mo Wuji suddenly wanted to burst out laughing. This wrench¡®s attitude towards me¡­ Good, this is good. ¡°My Wen Family¡¯s ore refinery is hiring, if you¡¯re interested, you can go¡­¡± Wen Manzhu suddenly had a feeling from the bottom of her heart, the Mo Xinghe before her, no, it¡¯s Mo Wuji, was no longer the prince who skived and dreamt of becoming king until he went crazy. He changed; his pride filled with passion let her clearly feel the changes in him. Mo Wuji stopped again, looking at Wen Manzhu and said, ¡°Look to the sky and laugh your way out, how could I be an ore refiner? I¡¯m already too lazy to be a drug refiner assistant. If I could be anything it will be a drug refiner.¡± ¡°Ha ha ha¡­¡± Mo Wuji laughed after he finished speaking, showing off his majestic aura. He was not nonsensically majestic, but had some thoughts about the issue. Compared to the woman who backstabbed him, Wen Manzhu was many times better. But alas he focused wholeheartedly on his biology and medical research, until the point that he did not know what the women by his side were like. Coming back to life, Mo Wuji swore not to let this happen again, never again. ¡°Ha ha¡­¡± The association was once again filled with laughter; obviously no one thought that Mo Wuji was speaking the truth. More thought that Mo Wuji had not recovered yet, and it was only his crazy side that changed from wanting to be king into wanting to be a drug refiner. One could say that Mo Wuji had a sliver of hope of becoming a king. But becoming a drug refiner, there was no hope at all. Chapter 6: Dan Han Drug Refinery Chapter 6: Dan Han Drug Refinery Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Young man, please wait," Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave the association, an old voice stopped him. Mo Wuji turned to see a middle-aged man. His face looked as old as his voice. "You called me?" Mo Wuji sized up this middle-aged man. He was a man with sharp eyes, as though everything he saw was within his grasps. "Yes, I called you. If you do not mind, we can find a quiet place to talk," The middle-aged man said, pointing towards a tea room at the side of the association hall. Mo Wuji smiled, "Of course I don''t mind." ... Seeing Mo Wuji walking to the tea room with the middle-aged man, many people in the association started their small discussions. "Isn''t that the owner of Dan Han Drug Refinery, Lu Jiujun? Everyone here knows that guy is a fake drug refining assistant, is he trying to recruit that madman? Isn''t he afraid that his workshop will close down again? He isn''t that bright after all ah." "Hehe, you know it, yet you still say it. If Lu Jiujun was bright, he would not have led Dan Han Drug Refinery to its fall. At first glance, that man looks shrewd, but he actually isn''t. Just look at what happened to Dan Han Drug Refinery." "Who doesn''t know Lu Jiujun is stupid? But what happened to Dan Han Drug Refinery was really a pity. It was one of the best drug refinery workshops in Cheng Yu State, maybe even in Xing Han Empire. Now, it is just a small workshop. Maybe after some time, it will just disappear... ..." "Who allowed Lu Jiujun to be so lucky, being able to inherit Dan Han Drug Refinery? Even though it failed, at least he did possess it. At least he doesn''t have to be like us, coming here to find jobs." ... Those discussions were not heard by Mo Wuji. At this moment, he was already with Lu Jiujun sitting in the tea room. Lu Jiujun called a pot of Rao City''s Chunxiao. The light green tea was poured out, emitting a light fragrance. Mo Wuji drank a mouthful of tea, his mouth was full of fragrance, and his whole body felt comfortable. He could not help but to praise, "Good tea." The past Mo Wuji did not research about tea, but something of greater difficulty. Even though he had tried all kinds of tea, none of them could compare to what he just drank. Moreover, Mo Wuji could see that this tea was casually rushed out, with no attention to the intricate details. Otherwise, the flavour would reach a wholly different level. Lu Jiujun smiled, "Rao City Chunxiao is one of the three major teas of Cheng Yu State, which will be presented annually as a tribute to the royal clan. What we''re drinking is made from old leaves, and these old leaves, are not what an average person can afford. Let me first introduce myself, I am Lu Jiujun, the current owner of Dan Han Drug Refinery." At this point, Lu Jiujun deliberately stopped and looked at Mo Wuji. He believed Mo Wuji will inevitably respond "Oh, it''s Dan Han Drug Refinery, I know that." Mo Wuji could understand the meaning behind Lu Jiujun''s words. It appeared that Dan Han Drug Refinery was not that simple, but he still said apologetically, "Sorry Owner Lu, I really have not heard of Dan Han Drug Refinery." Lu Jiujun''s mouth hung wide open, seemingly not trusting the words of Mo Wuji. In Rao Zhou, who had not heard of Dan Han Drug Refinery? Even though it had already fallen, and many stores and workshops have been swallowed up by others, all these happened recently. Its past fame should not have faded so quickly? After a moment of surprise, Lu Jiujun came to understand and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems like I was over thinking. Prince Mo was too involved in restoring his country; naturally he would not notice commercial matters." Seeing that Lu Jiujun understood, Mo Wuji directly said," Lu Jiujun knows my history. You would not be here to hire me to be a drug refiner, right?" Just now, he raved about being a drug refiner in the association, but Mo Wuji was very clear. No one would put his ravings to heart. Lu Jiujun drank a mouthful of tea, calmly put down the cup, and said with a smile, "Prince Mo is right, I am here to hire Prince Mo to be my Chief Drug Refiner." Now, the one to be surprised is Mo Wuji. He subconsciously paused his hand at the side of his cup, and said in disbelief, "Perhaps Owner Lu has not heard of me? Are you sure what I said just now was not mere bragging? Or the words of an average person?" Lu Jiujun said calmly, "I may not be able to refine drugs, but I have a good pair of eyes. When the prince was saying his mad words, these eyes saw a man filled with substance and self-confidence. That definitely isn''t boasting or the words of something without a brain. Furthermore, your recent words gave me confidence that those aren''t the words that an abnormal person would say. Thus, I decided to place a bet, that what Prince Mo said is true. How about that, Prince Mo, are you interested in working with me this once?" Lu Jiujun further added, "Oh right, I also have a nickname, Mad Lu. The reason why my Dan Han Drug Refinery fell so fast was because I made crazy decisions." Lu Jiujun did not even believe the words he just said. Naturally, he wasn¡¯t employing Mo Wuji because of self-confidence. Although it played a part, there was another more important reason which he knew clearly. That is, Mo Wuji''s grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, had an identity that no one else knew. An identity of a drug refiner, a high level one at that. His Lu family''s Dan Han Drug Refinery was able to be famous in Rao Zhou, was simply because of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord, Mo Tiancheng. Even though his grandfather and Mo Tiancheng were friends, the Lu Clan still paid a high price to get the support of Mo Tiancheng. In other words, if not for the vast majority of the profits going to Mo Tiancheng, Dan Han Drug Refinery may not have fallen so quickly. So even if others did not believe it when Mo Wuji said that he is a drug refiner, Lu Jiujun was still a little convinced. If he was in the position of Mo Tiancheng, he would also have imparted his skills to his descendents. Not to mention the self-confidence that Mo Wuji had. Of course, this matter which Mo Wuji did not know, he would not go and explain it to him. Hearing Lu Jiujun, Mo Wuji calmed down. He did not believe that Lu Jiujun wanted to hire him to be a Chief Drug Refiner because Lu Jiujun was determined that he wasn''t lying. There¡¯s no such thing as a free meal in this world; Mo Wuji was very clear about that. If the other party was really so bold, there probably wouldn''t even be a Dan Han Drug Refinery. "What? Don''t tell me that Prince Mo was really lying? When I now offer a position, you¡¯re actually backing out?" Lu Jiujun saw that Mo Wuji did not speak, and added another sentence. Mo Wuji did not get triggered by Lu Jiujun''s words, drinking a mouthful of tea and said, "I can join but what would be my pay?" "50 gold coins per month, with all accommodations provided. In addition, as long as they are not unreasonable, Dan Han Drug Refinery will try to satisfy your demands," Lu Jiujun finished and stared at Mo Wuji. He did not believe that Mo Wuji would reject such a high pay. Naturally, this pay is not as high as an actual drug refiner''s pay, but was several times higher than Cheng Ling Pill Workshop. According to his conjecture, with this offer, Mo Wuji would stand up in excitement. The reality, however, made him feel lost. Mo Wuji did not seem to hear his words, calmly drinking another mouthful of tea. Just when Lu Jiujun was about to lose his patience, he asked an irrelevant question, "Owner Lu, I heard that opening the spirit is extremely expensive, I wonder how much it actually is?" Mo Wuji is not someone who has not seen money. He was previously excited about the 10 gold coins as no one knew him at that time. He simply wanted to find a quick job to feed Yan''Er and himself. Even if he did get the job, he would at most do it for a month before leaving. However, the person in front of him, Lu Jiujun, will certainly not let him leave after one month, and he definitely had to sign some sort of contract. Lu Jiujun gave Mo Wuji a puzzled look. Even he has heard that Mo Wuji had tried to open his spirit before, and only resulted in a mortal root. What was the meaning behind this question? Even though he did not know Mo Wuji''s intentions, he still gave a detailed response,"There are 3 ways to open the spirit. The first is to use an elixir, and that is also the most common way. The price depends on the grade of the elixir, and the cheapest one is costs at least 10,000 gold coins. The second is..." Mo Wuji apologetically interrupted Lu Jiujun, "Owner Lu, if the cheapest price is 10,000 gold coins, then there must be a highest price? May I ask what is it ah?" Lu Jiujun chuckled," There is no highest price. I heard that not even the entire Cheng Yu State is able to afford the most precious elixir." So that is the case. Mo Wuji did not know how much Mo Xinghe''s parents paid to buy him an elixir to open his spirit. From what he can guess, the cheaper the elixir, the outcome of the spirit opening would be worse. Lu Jiujun continued, "The second is to request an expert to help open the spirit. The fee depends on the feelings of the expert. Generally, they will not stoop to 10,000 gold coins, and a starting price of 1 million gold coins is already considered cheap. The third is something that cannot be found in Cheng Yu State. I heard that Xing Han Empire has an array which can open the spirit, and only the qualified can enter the array." Mo Wuji stayed silent. Regardless of the method, even if he earned 100 gold coins, to earn the amount of money to open the spirit will take donkey years! "Owner Lu, have you opened your spirit? The minimum price is 10,000 gold bids, I''m sure few people can afford that, right? Doesn''t that mean that the poor don''t even have a chance to open their spirits?" After a long while, Mo Wuji finally spoke. Lu Jiujun shook his head, "I went to test, and I only had mortal roots. In addition, I do not care about cultivation, so I did not try and open my spirit." "The test before opening the spirit also costs money?" Mo Wuji asked. "Of course it costs money, usually about 500 gold coins. Even if it is tested to have spiritual roots, and you open your spirit, that does not necessarily mean you are able to cultivate." "What if the test shows that you have mortal roots, can you still open the spirit?" Lu Jiujun laughed, "Although I know little about this, I know that the probability of success would be less than 1%. Only those who are not resigned to not having spiritual roots, knowing that they have mortal roots, would still spend money to open the spirit." Mo Wuji finally understood, his poor father was so desperate, knowing that Mo Wuji had mortal roots, but he still spent money trying to help Mo Wuji open the spirit. Chapter 7: The Chief Drug Refiner Chapter 7: The Chief Drug Refiner Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations ¡°Owner Lu, the fact that you hired me, does that mean you need me to help Dan Han Drug Refinery research on a new drug?¡± Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and made a decision to gamble on it. The amount of gold coins he needed was way too much, not even tens or hundreds of it is enough to solve the problem. Lu Jiujun hesitated, ¡°I do not exactly need you to develop a whole new drug. The reason why Dan Han Drug Refinery is failed is that we spent too much resource trying to develop a new drug. The development of the new drugs failed and was unable to be produced in time hence our competitor took the opportunity. Maybe you can start with our original creations as a base, saving a lot of time and effort.¡± What Lu Jiujun mentioned was not wrong at all. After Mo Tiancheng went missing, Dan Han Drug Refinery was left with excess profits. As Lu Jiujun was never a person who would settle for mediocrity, he immediately hired a few famous drug refiners to start developing a new drug. The pity is that after Mo Tiancheng plundered away most of Dan Han Drug Refinery¡¯s profits, the amount left were not enough to develop a new drug. In the end, all the effort came to naught, the new drug was not developed and Dan Han Drug Refinery fell. Many believed that it was due to the crazy prodigal Lu Jiujun who made Dan Han Drug Refinery fail. However, only Lu Jiujun himself knows that even if he did not insist on developing a new drug, Dan Han Drug Refinery will sooner or later close down as well. What Mo Wuji was concerned about was not Dan Han Drug Refinery as its products have already lost its competitive advantage over the past few years. Cheng Lin Pill Workshop¡¯s drug had the same efficacy and its pricing was a lot more competitive. What he was doing was just putting on a fight. ¡°If I am the sole researcher for developing this new drug, I want 70% of the profits from the earnings of this drug.¡± Mo Wuji asked directly after realising that he needed a huge amount of gold coins. He was not even intending to start with the drug that Dan Han Drug Refinery was previously developing. ¡°Impossible. You do not even possess any qualifications and you dare ask for 70% of the profits, what logic is this? Even if I were to randomly hire a drug refiner outside, I would only need to pay 200-300 gold coins a month.¡± Lu Jiujun stood up and said in a slightly angry manner. Mo Wuji was not taken aback at all, he had been through way too many of these negotiations in his past life that a sentence like this would not frighten him. ¡°Owner Lu, are you sure you will be able to develop a new drug with a pharmacist who is paid 200-300 gold coins? Next, even if he manages to develop the new drug successfully, he just needs to quit and switch to another refinery with this drug, are you sure you still can profit? Okay, even if you signed a contract with him, if the development takes a long time, will you have enough coins to pay his monthly fee? I am different, before the new drug is developed, I will only receive 10 gold coins per month from you.¡± Mo Wuji noticed that Lu Jiujun did not have much excess gold coins to hire a proper drug refiner hence wanted to try his luck with this deal. ¡°In addition to the splitting of profits of the new drug, you still want me to pay you 10 gold coins per month?¡± Lu Jiujun realised that his words were getting softer. ¡°That¡¯s for sure, Owner Lu, the fact that you found me already proves your wisdom. Since this is the case, and you understand the current situation I¡¯m in, you should know that I cannot possibly try and develop a new drug on an empty stomach. Moreover, even if I failed to develop a new drug, your losses will not be that significant. However if you were to spend a few hundreds of gold coins to hire a drug refiner, if he fails to develop the drug, haha, I am afraid you and I would be neighbours then¡­¡± Mo Wuji said while laughing. Lu Jiujun felt angered at the sight of Mo Wuji¡¯s smile, and he swore he would rush to kick whoever said that this person was crazy and autistic because he was clearly not. ¡°No, I¡¯ll at most give you 50%.¡± Lu Jiujun hesitated for a while before answering very clearly. What Mo Wuji said made perfect sense as even if he fails to develop a new drug, the most Lu Jiujun loses was tens of gold coins, however, if a proper drug refiner fails, he would possibly lose up to a few thousand gold coins. At that point, Lu Jiujun might really end up being neighbours with this fallen prince. Mo Wuji scratched his chin and says, ¡°50% is fine but not 50% of the profits now. I want 50% of Dan Han Drug Refinery¡¯s shares, if you are agreeable, we will sign the contract now. If you¡¯re not, I will go and take the drug refiner test and get the certificate. Don¡¯t tell me without a graduation certificate I cannot take the test, I have nothing but ways to do it. Once I get the certificate, hehe¡­¡± Lu Jiujun sighed and knew Mo Wuji hit his weak spot. Even if he did not find Mo Wuji, no one will believe him if he were to find other pharmacist and offer 80% of the profits to him. ¡°Alright, I agree. Prince Mo, you have to make sure you put your heart and mind in this because the future of my Dan Han Drug Refinery is now dependent on you. From today onwards, you will be the Chief Drug Refiner of Dan Han Drug Refinery.¡± Lu Jiujun no longer wanted to bargain. After Dan Han Drug Refinery¡¯s new drug was developed, the sale of the new drug will be Dan Han Drug Refinery entire profit. So Dan Han Drug Refinery workshop¡¯s share and the new drug¡¯s share would be the same, the new drug¡¯s share might even be much more. Mo Wuji patted the shoulder of Lu Jiujun, ¡°Brother, you are a smart guy, watch how I¡¯ll bring you good fortune and revive Dan Han Drug Refinery. Old Lu, lend me 10 gold coins first, I¡¯m short of rice at home.¡± Lu Jiujun¡¯s mouth twitched a few times but still took out a small pouch and gave it Mo Wuji saying, ¡°Brother Mo, we are going to be one family very soon, there¡¯s no need to be so polite. If you don¡¯t have enough gold coins, you can always get your monthly salary prepaid. I¡¯ll go back and prepare, you just have to come down to my workshop tomorrow to sign the contract.¡± Mo Wuji received the pouch and felt that there were exactly 10 gold coins in the pouch. He was elated just as he saw everyone in the association staring at Yan¡¯Er who looked worried. Yan¡¯Er was probably worried about him, that¡¯s why she came to the association again. ¡°Fine fine fine, I will be there at Dan Han Drug Refinery tomorrow¡­¡± Mo Wuji was already out of the tea room while waving his hands exclaiming, ¡°Girl¡­¡± After the first meeting¡¯s confusion and concerns and the tug of war between Mo Wuji and Lu Jiujun, Mo Wuji had finally restored his original composure. ¡°Young Master¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er saw Mo Wuji and hurried over. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go home and buy something nice to eat on our way,¡± Mo Wuji pulled Yan¡¯Er, said goodbye to Lu Jiujun and left the association. Honestly, the half a bowl of rice in the morning did not fill his stomach at all. With the gold coins he had now, it would be letting his stomach down if he did not go and have a feast. ¡°Cheng Ling Spirit Opening Tower?¡± Just as Mo Wuji left the association, he stopped in his tracks as he saw a light gold coloured tall tower opposite the street with a few huge words saying Cheng Ling Spirit Opening Tower. When he first came to look for a job, he only saw Rao Zhou Association and did not notice the Cheng Ling spirit opening tower behind him. Yan¡¯Er saw Mo Wuji stopped at the sight of Cheng Ling Spirit Opening Tower, sighed and said ¡°Young Master that is where you open your spirit, Young Master went there before.¡± Yan¡¯Er was subtly reminding him that he has mortal roots. Mo Wuji understood Yan¡¯Er¡¯s intention but still said, ¡°Yan¡¯Er, eating can wait, let us go visit the spirit opening tower first.¡± To Mo Wuji, the most important thing was that he would be able to obtain spiritual roots and then cultivate. The tug of war argument with Lu Jiujun was also for the sole purpose of being able to cultivate. If not, given his ability, he would easily be able to earn money for a living.¡± ¡°Ahh¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er let out a cry before being pulled by Mo Wuji over to the tower on the other side of the street. ¡­ ¡°Hold it there, this is the place where people measure and open their spirit, those not involved are not allowed in there,¡± Mo Wuji and Yan¡¯Er were stopped just as they were about to enter the tower¡¯s door. ¡°Young Master, to open your spirit, you have to first register then pay the required gold coins to be granted the permission to enter. If anyone is caught cheating, the punishment will be very severe¡­¡± Yan¡¯Er was worried Mo Wuji might do something stupid hence whispered softly at his ear. Mo Wuji nodded as he understood the importance of not messing around here as it involves his life. He came just to find out what are the procedures needed to open a spirit and how much gold coins was required. ¡°Huh?¡± Someone said before Mo Wuji said anything. ¡°Little girl are you here to open your spirit?¡± Someone with a rather hoarse voice asked. Mo Wuji and Yan¡¯Er only just realised that there were a couple beside them. The man has a fluttering white beard and looked different from everyone else. The woman has a beautiful face, and had a noble aura around her making people around her to dared not stare. The one who spoke was the man. Yan¡¯Er subconsciously took a step back and shook her head. Chapter 8: Supreme Spiritual Roots Chapter 8: Supreme Spiritual Roots Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji quickly went forward and greeted the man and woman respectfully, "The two of us were just curious. We heard that it costs a lot of gold coins to open the spirit. We don''t have even have rice to eat, nor do we even have one silver coin, where can we find the gold coins? The two of will leave now." The white bearded man had a terrifying gaze. Mo Wuji had an indescribable feeling that he should not continue to stay here. The woman gave a cold snort, looking at the cloth bag in the hands of Mo Wuji, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. Obviously, she knew that there were gold coins in the cloth bag, and felt both disdain and disgust towards the lying Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could also be considered to be experienced, and was able to tell the disgust in the woman''s eyes. He even suspected that there was a hole in the cloth bag. Otherwise, how did this woman see through his bag? "Don''t be in a rush to leave. Since you''re here, why don''t you go in and test for your spiritual roots." The white bearded man hoarsely continued. Mo Wuji calmed down. He naturally felt that the white bearded man was not targeting him, but Yan''Er who was beside him.But when it comes to Yan''Er''s spiritual roots, they have not been tested, unless he has a way to see the spiritual roots? If he wasn''t here for Yan''Er, then what was his purpose? Mo Wuji pulled Yan''Er behind him, cautiously said, "Sir and Ma''am, us siblings do not have gold coins, and do not intend to open the spirits. We will take our leave now." The white bearded man said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m not asking you to open your spirits, and the test does not cost much money, just go in..." The test does not cost much money? Mo Wuji had some doubts, doesn''t the test to determine the spiritual roots cost at least a few hundred gold coins? "Senior, I heard that just the test alone would cost 500 gold coins. Some people with mortal roots have to spend tens of thousands of gold coins to open the spirits, and that is using the worst elixirs." If not for the two''s extraordinary bearings, Mo Wuji would have suspected that they were human traffickers. The white bearded man laughed, "Normally, people only decide to whether to open the spirits when they are determined to have spiritual roots. But whenever people are determined to have mortal roots, they will say that the Spirit Opening Tower is unable to detect all kinds of spiritual roots, and confuse people to directly open the spirits. Either way, the people with mortal roots suffer." Mo Wuji completely understood. Opening the spirits will need tens of thousands to millions of gold coins? All this is a scheme by the Spirit Opening Tower. They say they are unable to determine all kinds of spiritual roots, and convince those tested to have mortal roots to truly determine it by opening their spirits. And to open the spirit will require gold coins. Some people have the same thoughts as them, believing that the elixir they used the first time was not good enough to arouse their "undetermined spiritual roots", and they spend more money to open their spirits for a second time. At this moment, Mo Wuji was a 100% sure that his poor father must have been cheated the first time around. He did not have spiritual roots, and the schemers at the Spirit Opening Tower still wanted to earn the spirit opening fee. In addition, with Mo Guangyuan''s desperate desire for Mo Wuji to cultivate, Mo Guangyuan spent a large sum of money to open the spirit. Of course, all those who got cheated like him were rich lords. "Stop," The guard of the Spirit Opening Tower did not know the man and the woman, and stopped them accordingly. The white bearded man snorted, "Who''s in charge here, get out here right now." The white bearded man''s snort did not sound loud, but Mo Wuji still felt as though his eardrums were about to be shattered, panic filled his heart. In just a few seconds, an obese middle-aged man rushed out. He went to open the entrance to the tower, giving the man and the woman a puzzled look. Apparently, even he did not recognise them. The white bearded man lifted a jade medallion and said, "Take me to the best spiritual test room here." When the obese man saw the jade medallion, his hands trembled slightly, and quickly said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I am Deacon Liu Chunshan. Please follow me." Mo Wuji felt a powerful force pulling him, causing him to involuntarily follow the man and the woman into the tower. Mo Wuji''s face turned black. He did want to test for his spiritual roots, but to be forced in without being able to resist, made him feel very uncomfortable. The Spirit Opening Tower could be considered spacious. Mo Wuji saw a few people paying gold coins, evidently they were here to test for their spiritual roots or open their spirits. Liu Chunshan soon brought them to the second floor. Once on the second floor, Mo Wuji saw a crystal column which was about ten feet wide. "You can go and be tested first. Just stand behind that," The white bearded man pointed to the space behind the crystal column and said half-heartedly. Mo Wuji was clear about his intentions. Letting Mo Wuji test was for the sake of Yan''Er. By this time, Mo Wuji could guess that the white bearded man was optimistic about Yan''Er''s spiritual roots, though he did not know how the white bearded man was able to casually see it. Even though he had been tested before, and he knew that he did not have spiritual roots, Mo Wuji was still apprehensive. He wished that the previous test was wrong, and he actually had spiritual roots. At this moment, he even desired that those who cheated his poor father had let him test for a second time. Mo Wuji was also clear, that the possibility was low. "Young master, please go for the test," The words which Mo Wuji said yesterday made it very clear to Yan''Er that her young master was very eager to have spiritual roots. Mo Wuji nodded, taking in a deep breath, went to the testing platform and stepped up. The crystal column flashed a gray light, and it stopped moving. Mo Wuji did not know what the response should be like, but seeing how slightly the crystal column responded, he definitely knew that was not what a person with spiritual roots would see. Sure enough, the white bearded man impatiently said, "The most common of mortal roots. You''re destined to be a mortal, come down." Mo Wuji''s whole body turned cold, and he felt faint. Using his strong self control, he walked down the testing platform as though nothing had happened. His trembling hand showed how disappointed he was at the moment. Even the worst grades of spiritual roots would be good. Why did it have to be mortal roots? "Young master, it¡¯s okay to not have spiritual roots. Old master also did not have them," Yan''Er quickly came and hugged Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji pretended to be calm, and smiled, "it''s okay. Even without spiritual roots, I still have my hands. In the future, we can still eat and feast." He sighed in his head, not saying another word. It was because his old father did not have spiritual roots that he was eaten up by the scammers at Rao Zhou. The beautiful lady was too lazy to despise Mo Wuji. Eating and feasting, only ant-like mortals have such ideals. The white bearded man did not care about Mo Wuji, and said smilingly, "Little girl, now''s your turn." Yan''Er quickly shook her head. "I do not have to take the test. I don''t want to practice. I want to leave with my young master." "Since you''re here, just take it," Following the man''s words, Yan''Er involuntarily landed on the testing platform. Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fist. He did want to have Yan''Er take the test but seeing how forcefully she was made to do so, make him feel extremely uncomfortable. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. Even if he was uncomfortable, in front of this man and woman, he was as small as an ant. As Yan''Er landed on the platform, in just a few seconds, the crystal column suddenly released a burst of green light. Soon, the green light rushed to the top of the crystal column. Just in about a foot more and it would reach the very top. The soft shine of the green light, was like a light green rainbow. "Supreme Spiritual Roots!" The white bearded man and the beautiful woman called out at almost the same time. Mo Wuji saw a crazed look in their eyes. Sure enough, they were here for Yan''Er. Mo Wuji could not help but feel powerless. Chapter 9: No Power, No Respect Chapter 9: No Power, No Respect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ha Ha..." the white bearded man laughed loudly."I did not expect that I, Li Yuanhua, would find such a qualified disciple while passing through this small place..." The pretty woman who was silent all this while interrupted the white bearded man, "Li Yuanhua, she is not suitable for your Li Fire Sect. I''ve decided to accept her to be my last disciple." Li Yuanhua was like a male duck that got its neck grabbed, his voice stopped short. After a moment, he cried out in anger, "Jing Feilan, what do you mean? You already have five disciples, while I don''t even have one." Jing Feilan stayed calm and said, "After taking her as my disciple, I will no longer talk about that incident... " Li Yuanhua''s whole face turned rose red, even his neck was red, but he did not argue. Mo Wuji can see clearly that Jing Feilan had something on Li Yuanhua. After a full 10 seconds, Li Yuanhua spoke, one word at a time, "Jing Feilan, I can promise you other things, but I must have this disciple. You cannot be unreasonable. If I did not suddenly discover her spirit quality, would you even know of her existence?" Jing Feilan said lightly, "She has never cultivated but her eyebrows are surrounded by spiritual charm. Even if you did not bring her in for the test, I would." Finishing this sentence, Jing Feilan did not explain further, taking out a red paper bird. As if she was talking to herself, she said, "Let me first send a message to the Li Fire Sect." Li Yuanhua saw this action, stomped forcefully and bitterly said, "How ruthless." Finishing this sentence, he turned around, rushed out, and soon disappeared without a trace. After Li Yuanhua left, Jing Feilan tenderly looked at Yan''Er and said, "What''s your name? Be my disciple and cultivate with me, ok?" Yan''Er single-handedly cared for Mo Wuji for so many years. Her mind was far more mature than others her age. After that scene, how could she not know that she has spiritual roots, and her roots are so good that this woman wants her to be her disciple? Despite her happiness from having good spiritual roots, Yan''Er was clear that once she becomes this woman''s disciple, she would have to leave the young master. Rao Zhou City rarely saw people with spiritual roots. She has never even heard of people being brought away to learn the spiritual arts. "I''m Yan''Er. I cannot go with you to cultivate as I want to be with my young master," Without hesitation, Yan''Er shook her head. "Have you heard of immortals? Do you know many people yearn for such an opportunity but do not get it? Let''s not talk about them, even your young master probably wishes to cultivate, right? Once you enter realm of being an immortal, you will have a long life, and dominate over the mortal world," Jing Feilan still patiently explained. Yan''Er did not respond to Jing Feilan''s words. She simply shook her head. Jing Feilan could see the key person here is Mo Wuji. Her eyes fell on Mo Wuji, and although they looked warm, they held deep contempt which could not be covered. "Yan''Er''s spiritual roots are very good. Having her stay here will only delay her. If she follows me, one day, she will become one of the immortals of legend. Staying with you will only hurt her. I believe, you do not want to force her to stay. If you know what''s good for her, tell her what she should do. After finishing this sentence, Jing Feilan stared straight at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. He was very unhappy with the way this woman looked at him. Yan''Er has good qualifications; she can cultivate anywhere she wants. Didn''t that Li Yuanhua desperately want to have Yan''Er to be his disciple? Moreover, this woman has unknown origins. Who knows what she will do to Yan''Er. If it was detrimental to Yan''Er, Mo Wuji would rather have Yan''Er stay with him. He believed that with his knowledge and abilities, he would not waste Yan''Er''s spiritual roots. Actually he would not mind having this woman as Yan''Er''s teacher as long as she brings them to see the school, and convinced him that Yan''Er would not be cheated. However, this woman acted very aggressively, and had no intentions to explain her identity. Naturally, Mo Wuji did not want Yan''Er to leave with a stranger. "I do not want bother you, Yan''Er and I have a good life here. Little girl, let''s go... "As Mo Wuji finished, he pulled Yan''Er''s hand to leave. There was a killing intent in Jing Feilan¡¯s eyes for a brief moment. She immediately sidestepped and stopped in front of Mo Wuji and Yan''Er. "You keeping Yan''Er is a selfish act." Mo Wuji sneered, "Who are you to care about my family''s business?" Yan''Er was not clueless about what was happening. She felt that Jing Feilan was about to erupt in anger, and quickly said, "Sister, is it possible to transfer my spiritual roots to my young master? If that''s possible, I ..." "Come..." Without waiting for Yan''Er to finish, Jing Feilan grabbed her arm and took off. "Master..." Yan''Er screamed out. Mo Wuji felt as though someone dug his heart out, and momentarily blanked out. By the time he rushed out, the shadows of Yan''Er and Jing Feilan could no longer be seen. "Bang!" Mo Wuji forcefully punched a wooden frame beside him. Fresh blood flowed down the wooden frame but he did not feel the slightest of pain. This was his first day in this world, and he could not help but feel weak and powerless. The strength he felt from negotiating with Lu Jiujun was now gone. Here, without power, there would not be respect. ... The next day, Mo Wuji hid his grievances deep in his heart, and decided to go to Dan Han Drug Refinery. Dan Han Drug Refinery was once the number one drug workshop in Cheng Yu State. Now, there''s only one store and one workshop. Mo Wuji had to ask a few people, before finding Dan Han Drug Refinery hidden away in a remote street. Lu Jiujun was waiting for a long time. Seeing Mo Wuji come over, he quickly laughed and welcomed Mo Wuji into the workshop. "Old Lu, your Dan Han Drug Refinery is really not small, ah. I almost couldn''t find it." Seeing the abject state of Dan Han Drug Refinery, Mo Wuji felt disappointed. Because of his powerlessness, he had to hide what happened yesterday deep in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, Mo Wuji still had an immense desire to cultivate. The previous he was able to concoct a solution which can even expand the meridians. Who dares say that those with mortal roots cannot use elixirs and solutions to form spiritual roots? It is precisely because of this idea, Mo Wuji hoped to have a better research lab to let him create a drug to open spiritual roots. With the condition of Dan Han Drug Refinery, it probably would not have a good laboratory. Lu Jiujun smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Mo, besides this workshop, my Dan Han Drug Refinery also has a store. Although the store is not big, business can be considered to be busy. Also, this workshop may look small, but there is a large courtyard at the back. Mo Wuji nodded, and did not continue to speak on this matter. In fact, he was also clear that he would not be able to find another person like Lu Jiujun who believes in him and was willing to give him 50% of the shares. "Old Lu, you know my previous situation. Although I know how to refine drugs, I''m unclear about the market demands. Can we talk about that first?" Lu Jiujun said in a forthright manner, "Brother Mo, even if you did not ask, I will still discuss with you about that. Please come in first." Following Lu Jiujun to the second floor of the workshop, Mo Wuji saw more than a dozen fairly new machines on the work table. Mo Wuji did not come into contact with the technology from this world, and was unclear about the how these machines worked. Seeing so many machines in this small space, Mo Wuji had a better impression of Lu Jiujun. Obviously, Lu Jiujun also believed that discovering new drugs was the only way to revive Dan Han Drug Refinery. From the second floor window, Mo Wuji could see the backyard. It turns out Lu Jiujun was right about the size. Furthermore, the backyard was surrounded by houses, providing a quiet environment. Mo Wuji was satisfied about these conditions. This is a good place for him to research a new drug. Lu Jiujun looked at these machines, his eyes flashed a trace of disappointment, but he cheered up and said, "Brother Mo, these machines are the most valuable things in Dan Han Drug Refinery." Mo Wuji nodded, "I can see that." Chapter 10: A Glimmer of Hope Chapter 10: A Glimmer of Hope Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My Dan Han Drug Refinery has three main products. The first is the Blood Replenishing Pill. This pill is very good at treating physical injuries. You were born in the Northern Qin Prefecture. Naturally, you should know that Cheng Yu State and the neighbouring states have wars every year. That''s why our Blood Replenishing Pill is very popular." Mo Wuji did not express his views. He really did not know about the regular wars. Lu Jiujun continued, "The second is the Bone Strengthening Pill. This pill is for martial artists, who do not have spiritual roots. It will help in their martial arts practice and enhance their abilities." "Martial artists?" Mo Wuji asked in doubt. Lu Jiujun nodded, "Brother Mo is of nobility. Naturally, you would not have heard about this. In fact, there are few people with spiritual roots. Most people only have mortal roots, and to enhance their strength, they practise martial arts. Practising martial arts to the peak can make you comparable to the experts with spiritual roots." In Lu Jiujun''s view, Mo Wuji''s grandfather was a drug refiner, and a cultivator with spiritual roots. This kind of family probably looks down on martial arts, and it was normal for them not to know of it. Mo Wuji''s heart skipped a beat. If he is really unable to have spiritual roots, isn''t it possible for him to practise martial arts? "The third pill is the most famous one in Dan Han Drug Refinery, it''s the Spirit Elevating Pill. This pill contains many rare medicinal ingredients, and it even contains a kind of spiritual ingredient. It is useful to cultivators who have opened their spirits. It can help them quickly gather the essence from heaven and earth. My Dan Han Drug Refinery was able to gain some reputation in the entire Xing Han Empire due to this Spirit Elevating Pill," Lu Jiujun proudly said. Obviously, this pill had quite a good reputation. Mo Wuji asked again, "Old Lu, I heard that elixirs have different grades. I wonder what grade of elixir is this Spirit Elevating Pill?" Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Lu Jiujun''s old face turned red, embarrassedly said, "If it is of top grade, wouldn''t that be great? But the Spirit Elevating cannot be considered an actual elixir. However, it is one of the few drugs in Cheng Yu State which can help cultivators. Later on, my Dan Han Drug Refinery was not able to keep up in discovering new drugs, and lost out to others in price. Regarding the Spirit Elevating Pill, it requires some spiritual ingredients which we cannot typically get, resulting in where we are today." Mo Wuji came to understand, Dan Han Drug Refinery did not even have its best product, the Spirit Elevating Pill, to sell. And from another perspective, this Spirit Elevating Pill was not even considered an elixir. "How much does Brother Lu know about cultivators and cultivation?" Mo Wuji did not care about what Dan Han Drug Refinery used to produce. He cared more about what he can develop here. As long as he can develop something good, he can make a lot of money. In turn, with more money, he can attempt to open his spirit. Lu Jiujun heard Mo Wuji''s words, and suddenly started questioning whether he was right about Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji inherited the skills from Mo Tiancheng, why would he ask such questions? Mo Wuji immediately felt Lu Jiujun''s doubts, hurriedly said, "Old Lu, even though I am unable to create elixirs for cultivators, I intend to work in this direction. Previously, I was bent on restoring my country, and did not care about these things. Now that I have decided to be a drug refiner, I naturally need to know more." Lu Jiujun agreed with these words. Mo Wuji was right; the real way to earn money was not through ordinary drugs, but elixirs which cultivators could use. After pondering for a moment, Lu Jiujun said, "I do not know much about cultivators, but I heard that the Cheng Yu State Protector is an expert who is infinitely close to the Earth Realm... ..." ''Wait, wait, what is an Earth Realm expert?" Mo Wuji quickly asked. Lu Jiujun helplessly explained, "I am also not very clear, but I know that he is very, very strong. Most of the cultivators in Cheng Yu State are merely in the Human Realm. The Human Realm has three stages: Meridian Expansion, Spirit Building, and Escaping Mortality. One will enter into the Earth Realm only after exceeding the Escaping Mortality stage. Meridian Expansion is first stage after opening the spirit. I heard that the strongest geniuses open 99 spirit channels during the Meridian Expansion stage. To a person with spiritual roots, more spirit channels and tougher and wider ones would result in faster cultivation. Among others in the same stage, he will be stronger, and he will have greater potential. For people like us, with mortal roots, are generally unable to open any spirit channels. Mo Wuji suddenly had a great idea, and got really excited. "Brother Lu, is it only those with spiritual roots can open and expand the meridians?" Lu Jiujun gave Mo Wuji a blank look, "Its spirit channels, not meridians." "Oh, aren''t spirit channels the same as meridians? Arteries and veins, aren''t they also the same thing?" Mo Wuji laughed. He was also not very sure, but he guessed that it should be so. Lu Jiujun got confused, and can only say, "But it''s for sure, people with mortal roots do not have meridians. Only those with spiritual roots and opened their spirits have them, and can open their meridians." Influenced by Mo Wuji, Lu Jiujun started saying meridians instead of spirit channels. Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fist. In his previous life, his lover plotted against him because he developed a solution which can open and expand the meridians. If he could develop the same solution here, isn''t it possible for him to cultivate like those with spiritual roots? The moment this idea came out, it was like a burning flame which Mo Wuji could not contain. This rash hope became more and more exuberant. "Brother Lu, I am sure I can have Dan Han Drug Refinery regain its past fame. However, I have two requests," Mo Wuji no longer asked about cultivation. He could see that Lu Jiujun did not know much about it. Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Lu Jiujun''s spirits were lifted, immediately saying, "As long as Master Mo is able to bring Dan Han Drug Refinery back to its past glory, not just two, I will even agree to ten requests." As Mo Wuji''s words deeply excited him, Lu Jiujun started to call him Master Mo, instead of Brother Mo. Mo Wuji nodded, "First, this laboratory is my personal territory. No one is allowed to enter without my orders."'' "No problem." Even if Mo Wuji did not mention this request, Lu Jiujun would also not be able to hire another drug refiner. "Secondly, I will need a variety of medicinal ingredients for my research; I may even need spiritual ingredients. I hope that Dan Han Drug Refinery will be able to meet these needs,¡± This was Mo Wuji''s main focus. Mo Wuji did not know whether the solution he developed on Earth can open spirit channels and allow essence to be absorbed, but he must try. If he succeeds, it means that he would be able to cultivate despite not having spiritual roots. Lu Jiujun hesitated before saying, "Master Mo, if Dan Han Drug Refinery is able to make profits, this will also not a problem." Mo Wuji stood up, smiled and offered his hand, "Old Lu, I look forward to working with you. Choosing me to be your Chief Drug Refiner was a very wise decision." Lu Jiujun did not understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji''s hands, but he bitterly smiled and shook Mo Wuji''s hand. Whether this was a wise choice, he did not know. Chapter 11: You’re The One Chapter 11: You¡¯re The One Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After signing a contract with Lu Jiujun, Mo Wuji did not stay in the laboratory for long. He simply took a look at the machines, and had a general understanding of how they worked. Not only are there quite a few machines, they have also been preserved well. However, these machines are far from those he had on Earth. In his previous laboratory, he could directly extract and combine his ingredients in precise amounts. Obviously, that would not be possible here. Mo Wuji did not care. In his past life, concocting a solution which could expand the meridians was not by accident. Even without the machines, with his proficiency built on thousands of experiments, he would be able to recreate the solution. Now, with these machines, he was even more confident of doing so. No matter the reason why that woman plotted against him, she would not get his ingredient extraction technique and concoct the solution. This was because his method was not focused on the exact genetic combination, but the refining. Furthermore, he did not record down several critical data, as well as some important plant extracts. All of these were remembered in his mind. In the absence of these plant extracts, the solution acts normally. After adding these extracts, the entire molecular structure changes, and even the DNA tests get disorganised. The results of each test were always different. But the solution was still able to achieve the effect of opening the meridians. Even Mo Wuji did not understand the logic behind that. This made Mo Wuji believed that science was really mysterious. There were still many things in the world which could not be explained by science. Mo Wuji was very clear. Whether it is being plotted by his lover, or Yan''Er being taken away, without strength, he will never be able to find the answer. If he was doomed in this new life to not be able to cultivate, he would just accept his fate. However, until he was fully sure that he could not cultivate, he would not let go of even the smallest of chances. ¡­ After signing the contract, Mo Wuji began to wonder around Rao Zhou City. Before deciding his research direction, he must first do market research. Which drugs could earn money, and which couldn¡¯t? This was what he needed to know the most. Wandering from morning to the evening, Mo Wuji''s initial enthusiasm slowly died down. He knew that this world''s technological level was beneath Earth''s, coupled with his skills in biology, it should be easy to develop one or two money-making products. But the results of the survey made one thing clear to Mo Wuji, though the technology here was beneath Earth, the pharmaceutical level were not. The variety of cosmetics and fitness products was even more than on Earth. Mo Wuji did not test the efficacy of these drugs, but the fact that people could openly sell them showed that these products would not be bad. Without a product, even if he is good at marketing, Mo Wuji cannot save Dan Han Drug Refinery. If he could not save Dan Han Drug Refinery, the research that he needed to produce drugs which can allow him to cultivate, was but a dream. Seeing such results, Mo Wuji went into a daze. He did not even notice when a thin youth bumped into him. "You want to leave after stealing?" A cold voice woke Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji looked up and saw a young man grabbing the wrist of the thin youth. This young man carried a large package. He had a sharp face and a fierce aura. "Nonsense¡­Quickly let¡¯s go..." The thin youth called out. Only then did Mo Wuji check his pockets and discovered that his coin purse was missing. Mo Wuji did not even know when this youth stole his coin purse. Without hesitation, he rushed forward, grabbed the other hand of the youth, and extended his hands to search the youth''s chest. The youth did not have pockets, so his stolen purse must be on her chest. Mo Wuji felt a small, soft bun, and by the side, he grabbed his purse. The youth''s face turned rose red, and did not dare to struggle. "Friend, thank you for helping. If not for you, I am afraid I won''t even have money to eat." Mo Wuji kept his purse and thanked the young man. The young man saw Mo Wuji retrieve his wallet, nodded and let go of the thin youth. The thief was slightly shocked to be released, and quickly disappeared into the crowd in just a few seconds. The process was very short and many of the passers-by did not see what happened. The young man did not respond to Mo Wuji''s gratitude, but looked at Mo Wuji and asked, "Why did you let the thief go?" Just now, he released his hands. If Mo Wuji wanted the thief to stay, he could have continued grabbing the thief. Mo Wuji laughed, "That thief was so thin, and obviously she was very hungry. If I kept her, besides beating her, what can I do?" The thin thief was a girl, and was starving desperately. Just now, when Mo Wuji was holding the thief, he saw the image of Yan''Er in her, and felt pity for the little girl. But he had always disliked thieves. Even if he sympathised with her, he would not purposely offer her some money. At the same time, he also could not bear to teach the little girl a hard lesson. "If you do not mind, how about we go to the nearby tavern and I¡¯ll play host," Mo Wuji casually said this sentence to change the topic. The young man said lightly, "I only put in a little effort, you don''t have to do this much." Mo Wuji said again, "I am a drug refiner. I wonder if this friend here has medicinal herbs to be sold. If so, I am in need of them." As a biologist who regularly dealt with botanical herbs and medicinal ingredients, Mo Wuji could easily identify the smell of herbs on the young man. "How did you know?" The young man gave Mo Wuji a puzzled look. Mo Wuji smiled, "You have the smell of herbs. Also, the herbs are very fresh." The young man nodded, "The tavern in front, Rao Jiang Xian Tavern, is not bad. Let''s go there." ... Rao Jiang Xian Tavern was not bad. When the waiter brought up the wine, Mo Wuji could smell a chilly fragrance without even drinking it. "My name is Mo Wuji, may I know what I call you, friend?" Mo Wuji poured a cup and asked. "Lan Yu," The young man did not say much. After saying his name, he drained his glass of wine. "I''m Dan Han Drug Refinery''s drug refiner. If Brother Lan has any medicinal herbs in the future, you can send them directly to DanHan Drug Refinery. If you find some special herbs that I need, the price can also..." Mo Wuji suddenly paused. He has not found a suitable product for Dan Han Drug Refinery, where will he find the money to buy the herbs he needs? Lan Yu saw that Mo Wuji did not continue, and thought that Mo Wuji was insinuating that the price will rise, then said, "Of course, But I will be leaving Rao Zhou soon. Cheng Yu State and Chang Yan State have already started warring. There is an urgent need for healing herbs. I will be going somewhere close to the battlefield." War? Healing herbs? Mo Wuji felt like his mind was struck by lightning, and everything suddenly became clear. He saw a lot of healing drugs in the pharmacies and pill rooms. No matter how good the drugs are at healing physical injuries, how could they be as good as penicillin? In fact, Lu Jiujun mentioned healing drugs in the morning. Before, he was confident and did not care. Now that he could not find suitable products, hearing about the war and healing drugs, he immediately thought of penicillin. It can be said that the war situation in World War II was reversed, largely due to penicillin. It saved millions of lives during World War II. Mo Wuji clapped. Penicillin, you''re the one. Chapter 12: Causing An Uproar In The Drug Industry Chapter 12: Causing An Uproar In The Drug Industry Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Seeing how Lan Yu gave him a puzzled look, Mo Wuji laughed while saying, "Brother Lan, you are about to sell this medicinal herb to our refinery for a price even higher than the battlefield nearby, so why go the extra mile?" The thought of penicillin made Mo Wuji felt great. No matter the quality of any drug, is there one better than penicillin in preventing bacterial infection? Most importantly, penicillin is a drug he could use Dan Han Drug Refinery''s equipment to produce. Lan Yu looked at Mo Wuji suspiciously. In fact, from the moment Mo Wuji mentioned he is the drug refiner of Dan Han Drug Refinery; Lan Yu had his doubts about him already. "Drug refiner Mo, I''ve heard that things have been difficult at Dan Han Drug Refinery recently..." Lan Yu''s tone was a little tactful, but his intention was very obvious. He meant to say that Mo Wuji was not capable. If it was before he thought of penicillin, Mo Wuji would not dare to boast, however he said without any hesitation, "Brother Lan, you will soon realise that Dan Han Drug Refinery will cause an uproar in Cheng Yu because there is a successful businessman who has directly invested millions of gold coins into Dan Han Drug Refinery." Lan Yu did not bother to find out whether this is real because even if it is fake, he could just sell the drug to someone else, "Alright, it¡¯s a deal then.¡± "In addition to the general herbs, I would need some special herbs too. I will write it on a piece of paper for you shortly and I would need to trouble you to find it for me. Two months later, no matter how many herbs you have, you can bring them to Dan Han Drug Refinery and I will offer you a price higher than any refinery at the cities at the warfront can offer,¡± Mo Wuji said while getting pen and paper from the table. The production of penicillin did not require many herbs. The herbs he had were either used for medical research or given to Dan Han Drug Refinery as additional products, he cannot possibly just sell penicillin. Of course, his main goal was to continue refining the solution which can open up the meridians. Lan Yu frowned slightly,"Hold on, two months is way too long, I cannot wait till then." Mo Wuji laughed while saying, "Brother Lan, are you in urgent need of money? If you''re not, why can''t you wait? It is not as if the war will end anytime soon." LanYu gave it a little thought and realised what Mo Wuji said was right. Even though he would be able to fetch a slightly higher price at the warfront cities, it was indeed more dangerous. It was after all only two months. "We will do as you wish, just write down the herbs you need," Lan Yu was a very simple and straightforward person. Since he agreed to it, he would not hesitate. Lan Yu felt Mo Wuji''s extreme self-confidence as he spoke. Mo Wuji knew from the start Lan Yu would agree because unless he did not have a choice, why would anyone enter the battlefield? After Lan Yu agree, Mo Wuji wrote on paper a list of ten herbs for Lan Yu. "LongYan Grass, BaiHua Fruit, Vine of Artemisia, Millettia, Dark Yellow Ginseng, Vein of Thousand Year Pine Tree, Fire Essence Stone..." Lan Yu frowned at the moment he saw the list that Mo Wuji was writing because he had never heard of most of these herbs. "Drug refiner Mo, maybe the herbs you wrote down are of the top grade because I do not recognise most of them like the BaiHua fruit, Vine of Artemisia, Dusk Needle Flower..." After reading it twice, Lan Yu was finally so annoyed that he returned the paper back to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji immediately understood what the problem was. The names of these herbs should be different here and on earth. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji hurried to grab another piece of paper, started drawing and at the same time explain the growth characteristics. For example, Fire Essence Stones were normally found below dry volcanic rocks, Vine of Artemisia grew in wetter regions and purple flowers would only bloom from Dusk Needle Flower at midnight..." "So the BaiHua Fruit you mentioned is Cai Fruit, Dusk Needle Fruit is Night-Purple ah..." Lan Yu finally understood but was still suspicious of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was a drug refiner, how could he possibly not recognise a herb? Unless he really made a mistake? That¡¯s not possible, all these years he has not heard anyone recognise Cai Fruit as BaiHua Fruit before. "Ah ah¡­I was wrong. What I''ve learnt are ancient drugs and I''ve forgotten that all their names were changed. There are many drugs today which I am still unfamiliar with; I might have to go buy a book about herbs to memorise," Mo Wuji said with a straight face. "Oh, no wonder..." Lan Yu did not suspect Mo Wuji anymore. Mo Wuji did explain the characteristics of the different herbs and even drew out some pictures, he should not be lying. "Alright, I will take my leave now and come back to Dan Han Drug Refinery two months later." Lan Yu nodded his head, took the paper from Mo Wuji and bid farewell to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and slowly left the hotel. A day of testing the market was finally not for nothing. He was not worried that Lan Yu might obtain the formula he was researching on, not to mention the few important herbs he had on his hands that Lan Yu did not. Even if he were to give these herbs to Lan Yu, this solution could not be developed by any normal person. ¡­ Mo Wuji just returned to Dan Han Drug Refinery when Lu Jiujun hurried over, "Brother Mo, when are you going to start researching on the new drug? I do have a few half completed drug formulae..." Mo Wuji shook his hand, "I already have a new formula, and let us just forget about these half completed ones. I do want to take a look at Dan Han Drug Refinery''s pharmaceutical classics, though. Oh yes, I''m still short of some gold coins to purchase some herbs for my research.¡± "All these are not a problem; I will first bring you to Dan Han''s only drug record room," Lu Jiujun said without any hesitation, he was also very anxious about the development of this new drug. ¡­ Although DanHan Drug Refinery failed previously, they had quite a few rare pharmaceutical classics, some which could no longer be found in the market. Mo Wuji took a look at these pharmaceutical books and he knew he did not need to buy any additional books to memorise the herbs'' names. He casually told Lu Jiujun, "Old Lu, I need you to help me find a few reliable workers. Once the new drug is developed, it will be produced in our backyard. Remember, I want the development of our new drug to be confidential therefore the workers must be reliable and trustworthy. Two days later, we start work. Two months from now, that will be when Dan Han Drug Refinery will rise again. No, I mean will cause an uproar in the drug industry." After Lu Jiujun''s Dan Han Drug Refinery¡¯s decline, it did not leave much behind and this backyard alone was already spacious enough. In fact, Mo Wuji knew very clearly that no matter how secretive he was, the penicillin fermentation process cannot be kept a secret for too long because it was way too simple. The only thing that can be kept secret was the method of producing the nutrient solution. However, the process to produce nutrient solution was also too simple. Once it is leaked, it can be imitated easily. However Mo Wuji did not care less, as long as he was able to make his first bucket of gold coins, he would find ways to increase it. Regarding the fact that penicillin will cause an uproar in the drug industry, he was not lying at all because penicillin was after all a drug that did not belong to this particular period. This sentence acted almost like an elixir of life to Lu Jiujun as he seemed to be revived immediately, hitting his chest and said, "Brother Mo, do not worry, I will personally make sure no one leaks any secrets of my Dan Han Drug Refinery. "Hold up..." Without waiting for Lu Jiujun to leave, Mo Wuji found a piece of paper and wrote a list of equipment and passed it to Lu Jiujun,"I would need these pieces of equipment too, to prepare for the production of the new drug." Lu Jiujun gave Mo Wuji a puzzled look, "What do you need all these different types of glass bottles and test tubes for?" Mo Wuji shook his hand, "You do not have to bother with all these, and just listen to what I say. In two months, Dan Han Drug Refinery will rise from the dead." These were not meant for the penicillin, but for the development of his of Channel Opening Solution. Chapter 13: Mo Wuji’s Worries Chapter 13: Mo Wuji¡¯s Worries Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Since the start of the production of penicillin, Mo Wuji had always remained at Dan Han Drug Refinery. Making something like penicillin was too easy for him. Even some universities would set this as a topic for their final exams. Moreover, Cheng Yu state¡¯s technology was also decent, and all the essential equipment could be procured, requiring minimal modification to work as intended. The only difficulty presented to Mo Wuji would be to change the penicillin from the intramuscular and intravenous injection form to one suitable for consumption. Injection as a method of administering the penicillin was too troublesome, and also brought about all possible after effects linked to injections. Orally administered penicillin, similar to amoxicillin, ampicillin, potassium chloride tablets, etc, was not something that he could not produce, but rather, two months was too short a period for him to be able to complete the production of it. If you consumed the penicillin meant for injections, the acid in your stomach would destroy 99.9% of the medicine. Even though the process of converting penicillin from one form to another would seem difficult to someone else, it only mildly irritated Mo Wuji. Back on Earth, he had already stood on the pinnacle of pharmaceutical research. He may not be able to completely prevent the potency of penicillin from being lost after converting it to oral form, but at least would manage to preserve 30 to 40% of it. For a place where no antibiotics have appeared before, even if five percent of penicillin¡¯s potency remained, its effect would be overwhelming, what more of 30 to 40%. As for the antibody and allergic reaction that the penicillin may incite, they have been completely ignored by Mo Wuji. Compared to the benefits of penicillin, these side effects meant nothing. At most he would note it down in the drug¡¯s information sheet. For the people of Rao Zhou City, Dan Han Drug Refinery underwent the greatest transformation recently. Dan Han Drug Refinery originally was downsized until only one shop and one workshop, and the only shop also closed down one month ago, not selling any drugs anymore. Logically speaking, Dan Han Drug Refinery would be about to close down, then sell off the shop. But what puzzles people the most was that they not only didn¡¯t sell the shop, instead releasing new ads for it in the whole of Rao Zhou City. Nine Lives Healing Solution, Dan Han Drug Refinery spent tens of millions to come up with this new product. It¡¯s the savior of mankind, with the Nine Lives Healing Solution you never have to worry about your wounds getting infected, and its effects is many times more than any product ever made in the refinery. The slogan of the Nine Lives Healing Solution was that even if your wounds are infected, as long as you still have a single breath in you, it can bring you back to life. Of course, the ads never mentioned anything about whether the research budget was tens of millions of gold, silver, or bronze coins. The past products of Dan Han Drug refinery worked about the same as other healing medicines out there. The current ads for Nine Lives Healing Solution claimed that it greatly exceeds the effects of any previous healing products by many times, implying that it was superior to other healing products in the market. One small splash like this created a whole wave of reaction. This ad caused the whole Rao Zhou city to set their sights on Dan Han Drug Refinery. Rao Zhou is Cheng Yu State¡¯s capital, which meant that the whole Cheng Yu State had their eyes on Dan Han Drug Refinery. Overnight, countless people swarmed to Dan Han Drug Refinery¡¯s shop, wanting to buy a bottle of Nine Lives Healing Solution, wanting to know if it was real. Cheng Yu state was in a perpetual state of war,with large numbers dying of infected wounds daily. Not only soldiers, but also mercenaries, hunters, herb pickers, prospectors¡­these people frequently get injured and face the risk of death by infection after. If there was a healing solution like Nine Lives, who wouldn¡¯t want it? ¡­¡­ On the second floor of Dan Han Drug Refinery Workshop, Lu Jiujun rushed in excitedly, ¡°Brother Mo, our promotion has been too successful. If Nine Lives Healing Solution really that good, no, or even only one third as good, on the tenth of September Dan Han Drug Refinery would have succeeded¡­¡± Lu Jiujun suddenly stopped, observing that Mo Wuji was not in a celebratory mood, even showing signs of worry. Lu Jiujun¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Did the new drug fail? But didn¡¯t Mo Wuji place large metal buckets one after the other in the yard, even with some boilers? Those can¡¯t be fake, can they? Whether the new drug was a success, he was not entirely sure. Going full force with promotion efforts was Mo Wuji¡¯s intention, saying that there was no chance of failure. But now¡­ Mo Wuji stood up, walked beside Lu Jiujun and pat his shoulders, ¡°Old Lu, you need not worry, nothing¡¯s wrong with the drug.¡± ¡°Then why do you look like you have something on your mind?¡± Lu Jiujun was half-relieved after hearing that the drug had no issues. As long as the drug was okay, anything else could be resolved. Mo Wuji sighed, ¡°Old Lu, have you thought about whether we have the ability to protect our turf once the Nine Lives Healing Solution goes into the market and brings us lots of wealth, there¡¯ll definitely be people who are jealous of us.¡± Truthfully, Mo Wuji never thought that this small promotion campaign could have incited such a large response. He also did not expect that people of this world would desire drugs that can cure infections to such a great extent. He was sceptical if at this rate he had the chance to earn the first bucket of gold after the drug goes on the market. Even though no one other than himself knew that the production of penicillin is easily copied, what if someone took action against Dan Han Drug Refinery in secret before they have earned the first bucket of gold? It wouldn¡¯t be good. Lu Jiujun was momentarily stunned after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, and proceeded to burst into laughter, ¡°Brother Mo, because you were born into the royal family, it is natural that you do not understand how Cheng Yu state¡¯s laws work. Not only for Cheng Yu state, in the whole Xing Han Empire, are workshop businesses protected, as long as you pay a certain amount of taxes. The initial reputation of Dan Han Drug Refinery has spread all the way into the Xing Han Empire, who would dare to take action against us? Dan Han was about to collapse due to my incompetence before.¡± Mo Wuji did not let up because of what he heard from Lu Jiujun, Dan Han Drug Refinery was only as strong as a bum. Without any fists backing it up, it would be weird not to have anyone eyeing this business. On Earth there was a company involved in the production of FruitPhones, which looked very big, with many employees. However, it was really only earning sweatshop money, having to bear with the atrocious attitudes of others. The day that company stopped taking up outsourced jobs, would be the day it becomes the next Dan Han Drug Refinery. As for Lu Jiujun saying that they would be protected by Xing Han Empire, Mo Wuji did not believe in it at all. As long as enough profits were at stake, anything could happen. From his experience of his long-time lover backstabbing him, he knew that some things cannot be regulated by laws and morals. But he wanted to become a big shot, and this would need him to earn lots of money, making him unable to keep a low profile. Logically speaking even if someone were to compete with Dan Han Drug Refinery for profits, they should be using the soft approach before the hard approach. As long as he controlled the core products, and sold them when he needs some money, then there would be no danger. After thinking until this point, ¡°Old Lu, I¡¯ll put it across bluntly first. If someone wants a share of this, they can take my share in the business, but not any of my share of the money.¡± ¡°Sure, no problem. Don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Lu Jiujun agreed to Mo Wuji¡¯s demands without a second thought. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, and did not request for Lu Jiujun to sign a contract. Sometimes when one¡¯s ability is not good enough, what use would a piece of paper have? He¡¯s alone in Rao Zhou City, even if something were to happen, no one would help him. ¡­¡­ After discussion with Lu Jiujun, Mo Wuji fermented penicillin all day and all night. In order to keep the power in his hands, other than for the collection of Penicillin which requires large manpower, he personally performed all other steps in the production. Two months away from home, he was not resting properly at all, other than when purchasing herbs for the drug to open spirit channels. Two months passed, and he finally produced the first batch of penicillin mixture. Chapter 14: Sensational Nine Lives Healing Solution Chapter 14: Sensational Nine Lives Healing Solution Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Hey, Nine Life Healing Solution... Its effect is several times higher than other healing drugs?" On the main street of Rao Zhou City, several soldiers filled with bloodstains suddenly stopped and looked at the big billboard. "It''s from Dan Han Drug Refinery. I have heard of that workshop before. Duan Hu, immediately carry Qiu Fang and the rest of our brothers to Dan Han Drug Refinery. We will wait for you at the store entrance," The sturdy man leading the group instructed. "Captain, it says that the sale of the drug will only start on 10 September." "Today is already the 9th. We will talk while we''re waiting. If this is false advertising, I will immediately demolish this shop." "Yes!" In Rao Zhou City, there were many of such soldiers covered with blood. Coupled with the recent war, there are more heavily wounded soldiers who return to Rao Zhou. The higher number of injured soldiers also made people aware of the bad situation at the war frontlines, causing a tense atmosphere to fall upon Rao Zhou. As Dan Han Drug Refinery''s advertisement was too good, coupled with the high death rates of wounded soldiers, it was not uncommon to see injured soldiers being carried to Dan Han Drug Refinery. In just a few days time, besides a few onlookers, there were many bloodied soldiers who came back from the battlefield. As there were too many soldiers, Rao Zhou City had to send guards to instil some order. The location of Dan Han Drug Refinery''s store was fairly good. With the gathering of the soldiers, almost the entire street got occupied. ... Xing Han Calendar: 10 September 2930. There seemed to be a whole sea of people in front of Dan Han Drug Refinery''s store entrance. Some were there to enjoy the bustling scene, some were suspicious, but most were there to try a bottle of the drug. "Open the door¡­" Following the calls of the crowd, Dan Han Drug Refinery''s store door slowly opened. Being surrounded for a few days, Lu Jiujun was no longer surprised. With a loudspeaker in his hands, facing the crowd, he said, "Dear friends, all those here to buy the Nine Lives Healing Solution, please form an orderly queue. I guarantee that everyone will get a bottle. This new drug of ours is simply the panacea of all injured patients. There are no false ingredients whatsoever. With every bottle purchased, we will also give a set of white gauze bandages, a bag of Dan Han Injury Powder..." Due to the inconvenience of injections, Mo Wuji developed oral penicillin. Naturally, the gauze bandages and powder were to be used together with penicillin. For those allergic to penicillin, there was a small reminder on the instructions. Every day, there were so many soldiers who die from their injuries. Once the efficacy of penicillin is seen, who would care about those with allergies? What''s more, oral penicillin was less effective on those with allergies. "How much is a bottle?" Many voices called out at the same time, interrupting Lu Jiujun''s words. With exception, everyone was only concerned about one thing: the price of a bottle of Nine Lives Healing Solution. Lu Jiujun slightly clenched his fist, with a face full of smiles, he said, "As our new drug uses the highest grades of herbs, the price is slightly higher. Each bottle costs 2 gold coins..." Countless sighs of shock were heard before many people started shouting abuse. 2 gold coins for a bottle of healing drugs? Why not just rob them? Other healing drugs cost only a few silver coins. Some even cost a few dozen bronze coins. After hearing the price, more than half of the queue immediately left. 2 gold coins for a bottle of healing drug was indeed too expensive. An ordinary family may not even earn 2 gold coins in a year. Seeing the queue becoming shorter, Lu Jiujun''s mouth started twitching. His intention was to price the drug at 10 silver coins, but Mo Wuji wanted it to be 5 gold coins. The final price of 2 gold coins was a mutual compromise. But he also had to agree with Mo Wuji that the price of the penicillin of higher purity, which also had a more deluxe glass packaging, should be 10 gold coins. Perhaps Dan Han Drug Refinery''s advertisement was too effective, despite the high price; there were still people who bought the drug. Some gathered money to buy a bottle, while there were even some who bought more than two bottles. As for the deluxe version, not even one bottle was sold. Dan Han Drug Refinery which was crowded for days became deserted again after a short hour. "Brother Mo, this time... Aiii..." Lu Jiujun sighed. If he did not want to wait for a few days to see the efficacy of the drug, he would have advised Mo Wuji to slash the price. This time, they produced nearly 50,000 bottles. They even hired 20 people to work overtime to get the drug out for sale. Furthermore, after completing the first batch, Mo Wuji did not stop and started the production of the second batch, which was even more than the first batch. They advertised for nearly a month, but they did not even sell 200 bottles. Even the advertising cost would not be covered. "Don''t worry, we''ll see in a few days. I''ll go and take a walk," Mo Wuji waved his hand, indicating that Lu Jiujun should not worry. Mo Wuji was not worried about whether penicillin will sell. He was more concerned about the production of his solution. Mo Wuji could predict that penicillin would not continue to earn profits in the future. He might as well set the price high and earn money for now. After a few days, Lan Yu will deliver a few of the herbs which he needs. In addition that to the few that he''s buying, he would be ready to start. For some unusual things, he needed to go and find them on his own. With the exception of Lan Yu''s herbs, he only lacked one thing. Even knowing that others will not be able to develop the solution which can open spirit channels with the drug formula, Mo Wuji still wanted to be careful. Lu Jiujun could only nod. Things had already come so far, what else could he do? The thing that Mo Wuji was looking for could not even be considered a herb as this thing was too common. Mo Wuji was looking for lotus silk, the fresher, the better. From Mo Wuji''s experiments, he discovered that if lotus silk was not added, the effects of the solution would be significantly reduced. Once lotus silk is added, there would be an entirely different effect. However, the lotus root must be specially selected. It must be the second silk thread from the root. He had personally tested this. The moment he drank the solution, he could clearly feel the spirit channels in his body getting clearer, and his physical strength increasing greatly. Take note, although he learnt martial arts, he was not a master who learnt some special arts. Unfortunately, before his meridians were completely expanded, he was murdered by his lover. ... In the first day, Dan Han Drug Refinery was still able to sell one to two hundred bottles of Nine Lives Healing Solution. By the second and third day, not even a bottle was sold. Lu Jiujun became as agitated as an ant on a hot pan. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was hiding in his laboratory, not even feeling a bit of anxiety. Besides eating and using the toilet, no one saw him come out of his laboratory. Even his food had to be delivered to him. "This won''t do. We are just simply waiting for death. Lulu, help me call Brother Mo. I would like to discuss with him," Lu Jiujun could not stand the emptiness of the store. "Shop owner, Master Mo told me not to disturb him unless it¡¯s something important.." The shop clerk, Lulu, said timidly. "Never mind. I will go..." Lu Jiujun waved his hand and started to head upstairs. At the time, a tall and big figure blocked the whole door of the store, "Who is the treasurer here?" Chapter 15: The Return of The Fiery Chapter 15: The Return of The Fiery Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The voice was accompanied by an inauspicious influence, causing Lu Jiujun to subconsciously take a few steps back. "My friend, I am Dan Han Drug Refinery''s owner Lu Jiujun..." Lu Jiujun paused abruptly as he saw a tall, courageous man with two other men behind him. He recognised the two men as they were at Dan Han Drug Refinery¡¯s opening day carrying a severely wounded man a few days ago. Could it be that the wounded man died and they are now here to find trouble? The thought of this made Lu Jiujun break out in a cold sweat. Under normal circumstances as long as there was no common problem with the drug, it should not be that much of an issue. However, if someone were to investigate them, it may become problematic. It would even more problematic if that someone was from the army. "Owner Lu, this is our captain. We wish to purchase 300 bottles of the ordinary Nine Lives Healing Solution and we are wondering if the price is negotiable?" The man whom Lu Jiujun recognised from a few days earlier said. "Ah..." Lu Jiujun immediately understood the situation; the Nine Lives Healing Solution must have been really exceptional to make a captain come down to purchase it personally. Lu Jiujun instantly calmed himself down. With his many years of experience in this business, he understood the situation perfectly. From today onwards, Nine Lives Healing Solution will sell like hotcakes with no need to worry about the sales. Lu Jiujun knew that the large army had nothing but money. "There are still some solutions remaining. However the opening sales price of 2 gold coins has now been changed to..." The tall leader raised his hand without hesitation to stop Lu Jiujun from continuing. "Hold on, forget about the negotiation, just sell it to us at 2 gold coins per bottle and we will get 500 bottles. We come from Tie Fei Army camp and we will patronise your shop very often." "It is a deal then," Lu Jiujun did not even think of increasing the price, Tie Fei Army camp is one of the three camps in Cheng Yu. Building a good relationship with Tie Fei Army camp will ensure good business in the future. ... In the past, Cheng Ling Pill workshop was only a small workshop while Dan Han Drug Refinery''s shophouses were all over the big cities in Cheng Yu state. Presently, Cheng Ling Pill workshop is one of the best drug dealing workshops in Cheng Yu state. Almost 40% of the drugs in Cheng Yu were provided by Cheng Ling Pill workshop. There were a few people chatting casually over tea in Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s headquarters'' conference hall. Cheng Ling Pill workshop had gone on the right track; therefore the meeting was just full of chatter. "Dan Han Drug Refinery created such a huge uproar previously such that I thought they were inventing an extraordinary healing drug. Turns out the advertising were just exaggerated, ha ha," The one speaking was a 60 years old man who was in charge of Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s sales. His name was Liu Wansheng. To be honest, Dan Han Drug Refinery''s advertisement of their new drug did scare him a little. However, now that he found out that Dan Han Drug Refinery was nothing but a paper tiger, he felt more at ease. Sitting on a higher level was a lady named Mei Xiu who is Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s owner. After hearing Liu Wansheng''s words, she said, "Deacon Liu, no matter how exaggerated the advertisement by Dan Han Drug Refinery was, salespeople like us must still give them the attention. Furthermore, it has only been a few days, if the Nine Lives..." Mei Xiu''s words were suddenly interrupted as an energetic youth came rushing in to pass Mei Xiu a letter. The conference hall fell silent and all eyes fell on Mei Xiu. Mei Xiu tore open the envelope and took out the letter. The instance she finished reading the letter, she smiled and stood up saying, "Today, a few representatives from the army visited Dan Han Drug Refinery. According to the news, these army representatives bought at least 100 of the Nine Lives Healing Solution. Furthermore, there were a few businessmen who went to Dan Han Drug Refinery as well. These people are those who once bought the drug from Dan Han Drug Refinery previously..." Everyone knew what Mei Xiu''s words implied. Despite the steep prices of the Nine Lives Healing Solution, people went back for the second time to purchase it. This proved that the effects of the solution were really extraordinary, even more so than the publicity had claimed it to be. If Dan Han Drug Refinery were to really invent such an extraordinary drug, how is Cheng Ling Pill workshop supposed to compete with them? "Owner Mei, what do we do now?" A plump middle-aged man stood up and asked. "Mei Qi, notify a few of the elders in the workshop to go down to Dan Han Drug Refinery to take a look immediately," Mei Xiu''s expression turned serious and her tone became very modest. "Alright¡­" The youth who came to deliver the letter answered and then hurried back. ... Lan Yu carried two huge leather bags to Dan Han Drug Refinery but was shocked as he was reaching the entrance. The once empty Dan Han Drug Refinery was now filled with many customers. Everyone was queuing in an orderly fashion despite looking very anxious. The queue stretched from the entrance of Dan Han Drug Refinery to half a street away. Was the Nine Lives Healing Solution really that powerful? He did see it in the advertisements but he has seen way too many of such exaggerated ones in the past that he did not pay much attention to this one. "What are you doing? Please queue from behind," Lan Yu was stopped by a man just as he was about to enter Dan Han Drug Refinery. Lan Yu frowned and said, "I am not here to buy the drugs, I am here to look for Master Mo." A young lady hurried out and said respectfully, "Are you brother Lan? Master Mo has ordered me to wait for you here." Lan Yu quickly nodded his head, "Yes, I am Lan Yu. Could you please take me to see Master Mo?" The young lady said in a hurry, "Brother Lan, call me Lu Lu. Master Mo is not around; he is currently over at the workshop. Please follow me." The crowd was envious of Lan Yu as he was brought over by the young lady. They wished they were the ones who knew Master Mo personally. The rumours of the powerful healing ability of Nine Lives Healing Solution soon spread across the city very quickly. Even if one were to purchase the solution, it could be very easily resold for an additional 10 silver coins. ... "Master Mo, Brother Lan is here," Lu Lu shouted out respectfully as she brought Lan Yu to the entrance of the Mo Wuji laboratory in Dan Han Drug Refinery''s workshop. Every worker at Dan Han Drug Refinery knew very well the reason for this fiery situation at Dan Han Drug Refinery these few days. It was because of the arrival of a very capable drug refiner; Master Mo. Master Mo developed a revolutionary drug, the Nine Lives Healing Solution. As long as the sales continue at Dan Han Drug Refinery, it would rise again, this time even better than before. It was a very obvious prediction evident from the number of people queuing everyday. Some would even pay more for the drugs so they could purchase it earlier than the rest. Lu Lu, as Mo Wuji''s helper, treated Mo Wuji very respectfully. As soon as Lu Lu''s voice died down, a small door opened. Mo Wuji stood at the door''s entrance with messy hair, looking in excitement, "Brother Lan, you have finally arrived." Lan Yu did not mind Mo Wuji''s look or the smell of different drugs from the laboratory because he knew that a truly capable drug refiner, like Mo Wuji, would go crazy once dealing with drugs. "Master Mo, you really did not lie to me, your drug has exceeded all expectations and has been very successful," Lan Yu said with admiration. Even though Lan Yu promised Mo Wuji he would stay in Rao Zhou City, the fact was that he did not fully believe Mo Wuji''s words. Today, having witnessed Dan Han Drug Refinery''s grand occasion, he was convinced that Mo Wuji''s new drug would be able to make them rise again. "Thank you for your trust, please take a sit inside Brother Mo," Mo Wuji said while his eyes laid on Lan Yu''s leather bag. Lan Yu noticed Mo Wuji''s looking and knew his intentions were not for him to sit down inside. He smiled and passed the leather bag in his left hand to Mo Wuji. "Master Mo, these are the herbs you needed. There are a total of ten, please take a look." Mo Wuji grinned while taking the bag, "There is no need, how can I not trust you, Brother Lan?" After saying this, he told Lu Lu, "Lu Lu, you must help me take good care of Brother Lan. There is no need to check the things he brought over, I trust him. Also, give him double the market price for the goods." It was not that Mo Wuji did not want to entertain Brother Lan, it was just that his current research is too urgent. Mo Wuji knew Lan Yu is a decent person and if Mo Wuji decided to stay for long at Dan Han Drug Refinery, he would find ways to hire Lan Yu to work at his workshop. Mo Wuji knew that once the price and value of the Nine Lives Healing Solution has been revealed, Dan Han Drug Refinery would not have full control over it. In the face of huge profits, he did not believe Lu Jiujun and the other drug refineries would still follow the rules of business here. He also knew that he could not blame Lu Jiujun for this as he did not expect Nine Lives Healing Solution to be so sought after. This was just the beginning. Once the value of penicillin was revealed, even Lu Jiujun himself could not guarantee what he promised earlier. Chapter 16: Opening Spirit Channels Chapter 16: Opening Spirit Channels Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Fifty thousand bottles of Nine Lives Healing Solution. By Lu Jiujun¡¯s calculations, even if it takes six months to sell everything, it would still be a great success. In the end, the reality was that a large fraction of the Solution was sold by the fifth day, and this was after increasing the price and limiting the amount each individual could buy. Even after limiting the amount of solution they could buy, the Nine Lives Healing Solution was sold out by the 12th day. Including the sales of the deluxe version of the Nine Lives Healing Solution, Dan Han Drug Refinery earned closed to 250 000 gold coins in profits alone. One could also say that the Nine Lives Healing Solution had a production cost of close to zero. Hence any sales made were all profits. Seeing that there were many people wanting to purchase medicine outside of the shop, but no medicine was available for sale, Lu Jiujun became anxious. ¡°Lu Lu¡­screw it, I better go to find Brother Mo personally¡­¡± At the moment, Lu Jiujun was completely convinced that Mo Wuji had inherited from Mo Tiancheng the talent for producing drugs, even surpassing that of his father. Otherwise, how could he have created the Nine Lives Healing Solution? He had a different reason for finding Mo Wuji than ten days ago. This time, he was anxious to get Mo Wuji to speed up production for the third batch of Nine Lives Healing Solution. The second batch was currently in the fermentation stage and was almost ready. However, Mo Wuji did not seem to have the intention to make a third batch, being holed up in his laboratory all day, saying that he wanted to create a new drug. Actually, according to Lu Jiujun¡¯s plans, Dan Han Drug Refinery was fine with only the Nine Lives Healing Solution, and did not need to produce any new drugs. But now Mo Wuji was in charge, and if he wanted to create a new drug, he would create a new drug. ¡°Owner, Master Mo said that no one is to look for him before he comes out, even for meal deliveries, they would be placed at the window. If the meal was not consumed, we would replace it with a fresh set,¡± Lu Lu quickly said. She was worried that the owner of the drug refinery would barge into Master Mo¡¯s room, creating an argument between the both of them. Master Mo has been the most capable drug refiner she had ever seen. This is not the sort of master you offend. ¡°All right,¡± Lu Jiujun was helpless and gave himself a pat on the head. A few days ago, a few guys from the Cheng Ling Pill workshop came over to discuss with him about the Nine Lives Healing Solution, and he pushed it all on Mo Wuji¡¯s head. He mentioned that Mo Wuji was still researching on new drugs, and these issues would have to wait until Mo Wuji came out. Mo Wuji¡¯s temperament was that as long as he was doing research into drugs, he would flare up if anyone disturbed him. Who knew that this would come round back at him. No matter who he offended, he did not dare to offend Mo Wuji, his money making machine. Mo Wuji looked at the ten green glass bottles on the table with a dishevelled appearance, feeling content. This was the result of days of continuous hard work. Once he drank the contents of one of the bottles out of the ten, he would go to test if he had spirit roots. If he did, he would continue to earn gold, and prepare to open his spirit. According to what Lan Yu and Lu Jiujun said, only with spirit channels can one absorb spirit energy, and only those with a spirit roots possess spirit channels. The reason for the absence of a spirit roots in Mo Wuji would be that his spirit channels were blocked, or he did not have spirit channels at all. To Mo Wuji, spirit channels were equivalent to meridians. The drug he developed to open up meridians, must also make meridians clear and free of blockages, allowing for the absorption and storage of spirit energy. As long as he could absorb and store spirit energy, doesn¡¯t that mean he had spirit roots? ¡°Ha ha ha¡­this medicine will be called the Channel Opening Solution,¡± Mo Wuji could not hold back his laughter. This was the first time he felt this happy ever since he was backstabbed. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s loud bout of laughter, the anxious Lu Jiujun did not care about Lu Lu¡¯s warning anymore and rushed upstairs. ¡°Haha, Old Lu, have you been counting money these few days until your hands have cramped up?¡± Mo Wuji opened the door holding a bag in hand, smiling at the approaching Lu Jiujun. Lu Jiujun was naturally very happy, Mo Wuji had created the Channel Opening Solution, but he felt a slight sense of unease deep inside about something. What it was, he could not tell. Just don¡¯t care about it, leave it for after my spirit channels have been opened. With a face full of excitement, Lu Jiujun said, ¡°Brother Mo, we have succeeded. The Nine Lives Healing Solution is selling like hotcakes, really like hotcakes¡­¡± Mo Wuji gently waved his hand, ¡°This I know, and it¡¯s a must. Oh yes, change my share of the gold coins into the best gold ticket.¡± ¡°Of course, of course, other than this, our shop does not¡­¡± Not waiting for Lu Jiujun to complete his sentence, Mo Wuji waved him off, ¡°I know, for even bigger news, wait for me to take a bath and rest for a day, then we¡¯ll talk.¡± After speaking this sentence, Mo Wuji did not bother with Lu Jiujun any more, rushing past him, and heading towards the accommodations at Dan Han Drug Refinery. The Channel Opening Solution had been produced already, and to Mo Wuji, taking a shower and changing into a fresh set of clothes was of the utmost priority, then he would go to sleep. After waking up, he would immediately consume the Channel Opening Solution before doing anything else. Earning money could be done anytime. But the matter of him getting spirit roots, and being able to absorb spirit energy to train, could not be delayed for a single moment. Lu Jiujun blankly looked at the back of Mo Wuji as he walked away, without feeling angry at all. At Dan Han Drug Refinery, the real owner was not him Lu Jiujun, but Mo Wuji. After some time, Lu Jiujun left with his head low. He could not discuss about opening a few moth shops with Mo Wuji nor about producing a third batch of Nine Lives Healing Solution. Washing up after he woke up, Mo Wuji was refreshed, taking out one of the green glass bottles. He had drunk this type of Channel Opening Solution once before, knowing that he would feel a burning sensation extending through his body. After that, even those who had never trained in martial arts before would be able to clearly feel one meridian in the body being opened. Even though the feeling of opening meridians was unbearable, an indescribable soothing feeling lingered in his heart. It was a pity that in his past life, Mo Wuji was backstabbed before a single meridian was completely opened after he drank the drug. Calming down his raging emotions, Mo Wuji grabbed the green bottle, opened it and took a deep breath, then tilted his head, drinking its contents all in one shot. Similar to that in his past life, the slightly bitter fluid flowed down his throat, with something like a line of fire extending through his body. All the obstructions in the way of this line of fire would be broken through. Mo Wuji could clearly feel the sensation of one spirit channel being opened, and with the line of fire from the drug, the channels in his body slowly expanded. The feeling of his body breaking apart mixed with a sense of serenity and excitement, it seemed as though as the fire burned a little more, the more the impurities in his body would be burnt away. Mo Wuji clenched his fists, if meridians were spirit channel, and one bottle of the drug would open one of his spirit channels, so wouldn¡¯t it be easy for him to become a cultivator with one the highest spirit base grade with the use of the drug? So what if there were 99 spirit channels? He could easily achieve it. Chapter 17: Falling Short Chapter 17: Falling Short Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Two hours later, Mo Wuji''s anticipation gradually dwindled. Even though the solution did expand one of his meridians, the expansion ceased after two hours. The burning sensation disappeared, indicating the limit of the solution. How was this possible? With cold water being poured over his head, Mo Wuji completely forgot about the pain he was in as his channels were expanding. This felt like a rubbish-filled water ditch. When the water came flowing, the rubbish will be washed away by the water. But just when the ditch would be clear of rubbish, there was no more water. The rubbish that was supposed to be washed away was all stuck at the entrance, forming a dam and worsening the clogging. In his previous life, Mo Wuji was assassinated less than two hours after he drank the solution. Therefore he had no clue that the solution could not open the channel and that the meridian will be blocked in a specific position. No, the quantity must not have been enough. Mo Wuji clenched his teeth, opened and drank yet another bottle of the solution. If the first time drinking the solution felt like swallowing a line of fire, the second time felt like swallowing a fireball. Mo Wuji felt as if his whole body would be consumed by this fireball and turn to ashes. The pain was so severe that he fell to the ground as if he were paralysed. In the end, his whole body was suffering from spasms and even breathing became difficult. After another two hours, the convulsive pain gradually disappeared. Mo Wuji, despite trembling, managed to get himself up using the bench. His heart was ice cold. He clearly knew that after consuming the second bottle, it only made him feel worse and the blockage remained at the same position as the first time. He was sure that if he were to drink the third bottle, he would lose his life. In short, his development on the meridian expansion solution was a failure. If that woman found out that the solution was unsuccessful, would she have regretted her actions? Maybe she would have regretted killing him before he actually managed to develop the solution successfully. Mo Wuji slowly moved himself to the table where he saw his pale and desperate face in the mirror. He knew he would not have any more chances. It only took four hours to go from joy to despair. Four hours passed and he did not manage to even open any meridian and was still unable to practice. If he was on Earth, he would still be able to spare more time modifying the solution, but not here. It would be a miracle if he was able to produce the solution, given the very poor condition of the laboratory. Previously, he managed to do it as it was based on his experience more than anything else. He sighed, feeling weak and disappointed as he slowly got back to his normal self. ¡°Whatever will be, will be.¡± He grabbed the kettle and poured himself a cup of water. "No..." Mo Wuji said as he put down the cup which was already close to his lips. His face became increasingly pale. After researching on plants for so many years, Mo Wuji became familiar with the smell of many plants. And the water he just poured had very faint scent of Antiaris Toxicaria. This was definitely extracted from Antiaris Toxicaria, a very poisonous plant. Mo Wuji was so shocked someone wanted to kill him that he was no longer disappointed. At that moment, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. Even though he has from a royal bloodline, people used to not bother about him because he was always acting crazy. But now that he had returned back to normal, coupled with the fact that he will be rich from the overwhelming success of Dan Han Drug Refinery, people started to notice him. Nobody would care about a crazy noble, but most people would fear a capable descendant of the Northern Qin Prefecture King. Or at least those who tried to snatch the King''s throne would. Mo Wuji gently placed his cup back on the table and calmed himself down. The entire Xing Han Empire is so huge, even if he could not develop his spiritual roots, it did not mean there was no other way. As long as there was the slightest of chance, he would not give up on himself. On hindsight, having kept the empty bottles, Mo Wuji felt fortunate. If the expansion had succeeded, he probably would have brought the gold bars over to the Spirit Opening Tower, making things much worse. Previously, he was so obsessed with being able to open his channel and neglected the dangers that could come with it. His misfortune might have been a blessing in disguise. Sensing that a crisis was about to befall on him, Mo Wuji knew he would not be able to continue staying at Dan Han Drug Refinery. It would be too easy to assassinate an ordinary person like him. But where else could he go? "Master Mo, Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s workers are here. Owner Lu is entertaining them and would like to invite you over to join them," Lu Lu asked politely, breaking Mo Wuji''s train of thoughts. "Sure, I will be there right away," Mo Wuji said as he opened the door, "Oh yes, I accidentally dirtied this pot of water and the cup. Please help me pour away the water and clean it thoroughly." Lu Lu was the one who took care of Mo Wuji during his time here at Dan Han Drug Refinery. Mo Wuji believed that the one who tried to poison him was not Lu Lu because this place was easily accessible to the public. The assassinator would not be so foolish to ask others to do it for him. "Yes Master Mo," Lu Lu''s respect for Mo Wuji came from the bottom of her heart. She knew fully what a difference Mo Wuji had made to life in Dan Han Drug Refinery. ¡­ "Ha ha, Brother Mo let me introduce you. This is Cheng Ling Pill Workshop''s owner Mei Xiu..." Mo Wuji just entered the conference room when Lu Jiujun came over laughing and pointed to a young lady. By addressing him as Brother Mo, Lu Jiujun seemed to be pointing out his close relationship with Mo Wuji to Mei Xiu. "Hey, Brother Mo are you not feeling well?" Lu Jiujun interrupted his own introduction. To him, even though Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s owner was here, Mo Wuji was still the most important to him. Mo Wuji''s face was very pale and the way he walked showed that he was feeling weak. Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, "No, it is just that these few days have been quite tiring." Finishing his sentence, he said to the young lady, "Owner Mei, it''s an honour to meet you." Mei Xiu''s eyes swept across Mo Wuji''s body and said, "Master Mo, I am very pleased to meet a famous person like you." Mo Wuji knew Mei Xiu''s intention and said while laughing, "I am famous and infamous. There are times I still think I am the king." If things really don''t work out, he will just continue to pretend to be an idiot. Mei Xiu gave an awkward laugh, "Master Mo is so hilarious. Let me introduce you to someone too." She pointed to a very warm-looking middle-aged man and said, "This is Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s elder Wu Hetai. Another elder, close to 60 years old, did not wait for Mei Xiu''s introduction and stood up on her own to introduce herself, "I am Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s sales deacon Liu Wansheng. I am very pleased to be able to meet Master Mo." Mo Wuji clearly knew the intention of Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s visit to Dan Han Drug Refinery. He smiled and casually said, "Let us take a seat and discuss." Chapter 18: Now I Understand Chapter 18: Now I Understand Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Although Mei Xiu was not considered beautiful, Mo Wuji felt a great sense of affinity with her. After Mo Wuji took a seat, she grabbed the opportunity to serve Mo Wuji a cup of tea even before the waiter could. "I''m really envious of Master Mo''s ability to refine drugs; being able to develop a revolutionary product like the Nine Lives Healing Solution. I believe Master Mo understands the intention of my visit, and regardless of whether I''m successful or not, I still need to give you a toast to show my respect. This is because the Nine Lives Healing Solution has saved countless lives; Master Mo has served a great act of merit..." Finishing her words, Mei Xiu drained the cup of tea in her hands. Mo Wuji secretly sighed in his heart. This woman really knows how to speak. But this woman drank a cup right in front of him, so there shouldn''t be a problem with the tea. Mo Wuji was very thirsty so he also quickly drained his cup. After drinking the tea, Mo Wuji turned serious and said, "Owner Mei thinks too highly of me. I simply developed an average drug. On the other hand, cultivators who have opened their spirits can casually come up with any drug which would be far superior to my Nine Lives Healing Solution." Mei Xiu laughed in her heart. She had already conducted a thorough investigation on Mo Wuji. She knew that Mo Wuji did not have spiritual roots, but was very keen on cultivation. From Mo Wuji''s words, she could infer that Mo Wuji was trying to inquire about cultivators. "Mo Wuji underestimates your Nine Lives Healing Solution. Although cultivators can, in fact, come up with better healing drugs, these drugs cannot be used by ordinary mortals. Furthermore, even if mortals are able to use those drugs, those drugs will never be able to be mass produced like the Nine Lives Healing Solution. That''s why I am not wrong when I say that the Nine Lives Healing Solution is a revolutionary product. The reason why I''m here, is to cooperate with Dan Han Drug Refinery, to expand the production of the Nine Lives Healing Solution," Mei Xiu said seriously. Nine Lives Healing Solution - this money making machine - even if Cheng Ling Pill Workshop offers an extravagant price, Lu Jiujun would not be willing to share it. So, he constantly gave glances at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji acted as though he did not see Lu Jiujun''s actions. He was definitely not staying at Dan Han Drug Refinery for long. He had already planned to share penicillin and leave after making a large sum of money. Now that Cheng Ling Pill Workshop had offered him such a huge deal, of course it would be for the best. "Haha, Owner Mei is indeed correct in her words. The Nine Lives Healing Solution is definitely a revolutionary product. Master Mo has made an invaluable contribution towards the Cheng Yu State by developing this drug," Elder Wu and Tai, who were sitting by Mei Xiu''s side, sounded out. As Lu Jiujun heard these words, he could not help but nod his head with a sense of pride. Originally, Mo Wuji wanted to leave after making a sum of money. However, after hearing those words, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly understood the reason why he had been feeling so uneasy. It wasn''t because of the assassin who poisoned his tea, but the Cheng Yu State. Once penicillin is developed, it will definitely be controlled by the state. The reason why no one had come to find him is because penicillin only appeared in the market for the short time, and in small quantities. Many people only viewed penicillin as a pricey drug. However, once penicillin was used by the army on a large scale, he might lose his rights to freedom. He might be asked to specialise in the development of drugs for the country, or he might be forced to give his penicillin formula before being killed. No one in power would allow this national treasure to be leaked out. Thinking about this, Mo Wuji could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up, and said to Mei Xiu, "I am thankful for Owner Mei''s respect. Actually, I created this Nine Lives Healing Solution was simply because I wanted to do something for ordinary mortals like myself. Before, I wasn''t very clear, but the words of Owner Mei and Elder Wu really opened my eyes. How about this, give me one day. After a day, Cheng Ling Pill Workshop will be able to get what it wants. First, let me prepare. Goodbye." Finishing his words, Mo Wuji hurriedly left even before Mei Xiu and the others could say a few words of courtesy. He really wanted to make a huge sum of money from Cheng Ling Pill Workshop, but he did not dare take the risk. This danger was something he did not want to face. Fortunately, Mei Xiu and the others were business people, and they understood the eccentricities of researches. Thus, they did not mind the actions of Mo Wuji. On the contrary, Mei Xiu was very excited when Mo Wuji said that she would be able to get what she wanted after one day. Lu Jiujun was anxious, but he could not be like Mo Wuji and leave as and when he wanted. ... Situ Qian, the lord of Cheng Yu State. Even though Cheng Yu State did not count for much in the Xing Han Empire, and was even ranked among the back, Situ Qian was still a supreme existence as the Cheng Yu State Lord. At the moment, Situ Qian was sitting on his golden throne, his eyes hanging low, looking a bit impatient. The people on both side of the hall were infected by the atmosphere. "Dear Officials, due to some things at play, the Lord would have to leave for now," The eunuch clearly understood Situ Qian''s intentions, and quickly said. "Official Feihu has an urgent military report for the Lord," A sturdy man stepped out the right side of the hall, bowed and said. Urgent Military Report? Situ Qian suddenly raised his head. His originally low hanging eyes started to have colour. Even his pale white face now seemed to radiate an oppressive and majestic aura. Whether it was the changes in Situ Qian¡¯s behavior, or the three words "Urgent Military Report", the officials in the hall started to act in a more dignified manner. "General Feihu, don''t tell me that there''s a change in the situation in the war with Chang Yan State?" Situ Qian said in a slightly tapering voice. General Feihu quickly said, "No, this is about an event that happened in Cheng Yu State. A great event! If used properly, not only will we exterminate Chang Yan State, even expanding our territory is not impossible." An elder standing on the left side of the hall coarsely said, "Zhao Feihu, since when did you get so long-winded and speak in bits and pieces." Zhao Feihu ignored the old man, and continued, "Your Majesty, the army recently discovered a healing solution. This healing solution is amazing, and it can cure all sorts of complicated infections. According to the news I heard from the Ironword Branch, out of 1000 injured soldiers who consumed the solution, only one died so far. Furthermore, his death is not due to infection but severe blood loss. So to speak, no one died after consuming the solution. On the other hand, when we were without this solution, our death rates were as high as 30 to 40%. We can say that the effects of this new solution is more than ten times better than our best drugs now..." "What?" Situ Qian stood up agitatedly, and did not notice that the jade ruyi in his hands had already fallen to the ground. Not only just Situ Qian, the other officials looked at General Feihu in shock, and all started to breathe heavily. In every war that occurred, the deaths of injured soldiers due to infection were always in the millions. If this drug could prevent the deaths of the soldiers, it would be absolutely revolutionary. What is the most precious thing in war? It is the soldier. No, it should be a combat experienced soldier. Just one soldier who survived a war is far more worthy than a few inexperienced recruits. If the drug was as magical as he says, Zhao Feihu''s words about exterminating the Chang Yan State may not be impossible. It could even help Cheng Yu State vastly expand its territories. "General Fei Hu, are you referring to the Nine Lives Healing Solution?" The elder who previously ridiculed Zhao Feihu asked in surprise. Chapter 19: Push Him Out And Kill Him Chapter 19: Push Him Out And Kill Him Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations ¡°Prefecture Duke Han, what¡¯s the Nine Lives Healing Solution?¡± Situ Qian, the Lord of Cheng Yu State, evidently did come across this type of healing solution before. This elder was Cheng Yu State¡¯s number one prefecture head Han Chengan. Other than Xing Han Empire¡¯s King, the rest of the nobility was split into nine levels: State Duke, State Lord, State Marquis, State Count, Prefecture Lord, Prefecture Duke, Prefecture Marquis, County Marquis, and Prefecture Count. Ling Zhu State¡¯s Prefecture Duke seemed to be beneath Yi Fang¡¯s Prefecture Lord, but in reality within Ling Zhu State Hall, the position of Prefecture Duke was definitely higher than the position of Prefecture Lord. A State Lord like Situ Qian would seem to be second to only a State Duke in the Xing Han Empire, but if he were placed Xing Han Empire¡¯s Jin Luan Hall, a State Lord¡¯s position would not necessarily match up to that of a State Count. The only difference they had with the Dukes, Marquis, and Counts, was that State and Prefecture Lords would have greater honour, their own armies and speaking rights. Outside of the Empire¡¯s Jin Luan Hall, the power their wielded was not something the Dukes and Marquis could compare with. Han Chengan quickly stood out and replied, ¡°My Lord, a few months back, Dan Han Drug Refinery once advertised a new drug all around Rao Zhou. They developed a new healing drug, called the Nine Lives Healing Solution.¡± Situ Qian nodded his head. He had heard of this before, but did not take the matter seriously. In some sense, Dan Han Drug Refinery was making a contribution to Cheng Yu State. Even though the naming of the drug was a little over the top, it was not illegal. Han Chengan continued, ¡° The advertisements of the Nine Lives Healing Solution had extravagant claims, saying that as long as the wounded had a single breath left in him, the Nine Lives Healing Solution would be able to save his life. This issue was a hot topic back then, and this resulted in the Nine Lives Healing Solution selling like hotcakes. I even sent some men to buy some of it, but as there were no further inquiries into this issue, I thought that these rumors were false. However, based on what General Feihu said today, the healing effects of such a drug seem to be real.¡± ¡°General Feihu, do you think what you and Prefecture Duke Han said are true?¡± Situ Qian¡¯s eyes turned green with envy. Being a State Lord, how could his sensitivity to issues be something that Mo Wuji could compare to? He immediately picked up that this sort of healing medicine would be a great weapon of the military. He would have to act to allow Cheng Yu State to gain as many benefits as possible before the Empire reacted. More importantly, he had to put a lockdown on the production method of this drug, as well as lock up the drug refiner responsible for creating it. ¡°It is the complete truth, this issue was brought up to me truthfully by the Ironwood Branch,¡± Zhou Feihu answered with confidence. ¡°Men, immediately take control of all personnel involved with Dan Han Drug Refinery, and bring me the drug refiner responsible for creating the Nine Lives Healing Solution,¡± After confirming the truth,Situ Qian gave the command without hesitation. ¡°Wait for a moment my Lord,¡± An obese man suddenly walked out, bowed and said. Situ Qian¡¯s hands paused for a moment, halting the personal guards that were about to execute his orders, and asked while holding back his anger, ¡°Ji Aiqing, what do you have to say at a time like this?¡± The fat man carefully took out a piece of paper scribbled full of words from his pocket, presenting it with a pair of shivering hands, ¡°My Lord, when I went to the imperial court this morning, there was someone spreading this around, claiming that it is the recipe for the Nine Lives Healing Solution. The creator of the Nine Lives Healing Solution, Mo Wuji, specially gave it away in remembrance of his parents and to better this lives of the poor.¡± ¡°What?¡± Situ Qian frantically opened up the piece of paper. Lo and behold, there were many lines of words squeezed on it. Its contents was the method to produce Nine Lives Healing Solution, which was extremely detailed, and even explained the concept behind the drug very clearly. Even he knew where to start for the production of such a thing. This piece of paper even introduced in depth why the Nine Lives Healing Solution was able to kill bacteria and fight infection, with another name to it, which was penicillin. ¡°Bang!¡± Situ Qian slammed his the paper down with his hand, and furiously demanded, ¡°Men, immediately capture this Mo Wuji and bring him to me. At the same time, investigate how long this recipe has been distributed for, and who it has been distributed to. If you can control them, get those who possess the recipe under control.¡± One thing that Situ Qian left out was to kill everyone who had laid eyes on the drug¡¯s recipe, and for those who could not be killed, throw them into the new drug refinery to produce Nine Lives Healing Solution. There was absolute silence in the imperial court, and no one dared to make a sound. All those who were not stupid could see that the State Lord¡¯s methods would not work at all. When did they start their imperial court session? It was when the sky was still dark, and now it was already about to reach lunchtime. With only one morning, it was impossible for them to collect all copies of the Nine Lives Healing Solution Recipe. As expected, the guards¡¯ leader soon came to report, ¡°Lord, I have an update, that Mo Wuji hired many printing workshops and produced tens of thousands of the drug recipe, and also hired over a hundred people to distribute them at the four city entrances of Rao Zhou. Other than that, he even hired people to leave town to distribute them for free at other important tourist landmarks. At this moment, I''m afraid most people, both outside and within the city, including travelling merchants, have already obtained this drug recipe.¡± Situ Qian¡¯s hands lost their strength and drooped down. How many merchants and random people passed through Rao Zhou in a day? Could he capture them all? Even if he could, what use would that be? Did Rao Zhou not have spies from other countries? A revolutionary drug like the Nine Lives Healing Solution would definitely have been sent back to their respective countries. What¡¯s more, the despicable Mo Wuji even hired people to distribute the recipe outside of Rao Zhou City. Even a deity would not be able to gather all of the copies back. ¡°My Lord, could it be that this Mo Wuji sensed that something was up, and did this on purpose?¡± a fair skinned man stood out and spoke. Situ Qian frowned slightly, this is not impossible. Since he could sense it, why wait until now to spread the recipe for the healing drug? ¡°It can¡¯t be so, right? If Mo Wuji were really that sensitive, he wouldn¡¯t have waited till to now to do such a thing. He would have done it once the sales of the Nine Lives Healing Solution started to pick up. He might not even have revealed the Nine Lives Healing Solution,¡± Han Chengan did not really agree with the perspectives of those who just spoke. State Lord Situ Qian calmed down, and spoke solemnly, ¡°Let¡¯s not control Dan Han Drug Refinery for the time being. What is the background of this Mo Wuji who created the Nine Lives Healing Solution? Our Cheng Ling State¡¯s Drug Refiners also mostly have such a background, right?¡± The guards¡¯ leader quickly spoke, ¡°Mo Wuji¡¯s real name is Mo Xinghe, his father was Mo Guangyuan, and his grandfather was Mo Tiancheng.¡± ¡°Mo Tiancheng? The Lord of Northern Qin Prefecture?¡± Situ Qian finally remembered. The name of Mo Tiancheng sounded very familiar to him. The guards¡¯ leader replied, ¡°Yes it¡¯s him. 20 years ago after Mo Tiancheng arrived in Rao Zhou, he disappeared. Subsequently Mo Guangyuan brought his wife and son to Rao Zhou, and many years ago Mo Guangyuan and his wife passed away, leaving Mo Xinghe. Mo Xinghe eventually went crazy because he was obsessed with becoming the Lord of the Northern Qin Prefecture. A few months back, Mo Xinghe seemed to have some signs of improvement, and even went to the Rao Zhou worker¡¯s union to find work. He changed his name to Mo Wuji and joined Dan Han Drug Refinery, becoming their chief drug refiner, and developed the Nine Lives Healing Solution.¡± The guards¡¯ leader spoke of these things with grandeur, and most of the people in the imperial court knew why. After coming to Rao Zhou, there was no lack of gifts from Mo Guangyuan. There were only a few in the imperial court who didn''t receive a gift from Mo Guangyuan. As for Mo Guangyuan¡¯s son, Mo Xinghe, going crazy, they had heard of this before. The only thing they did not anticipate, was for Mo Xinghe to do something so groundbreaking after recovering. Situ Qian did not speak, he knew everything about the family of the Lord of the Northern Qin Prefecture, and also the complexities within. Frankly speaking, he had a hand in making the Mo Family lose the Prefecture Lord position. For the matter of Mo Tiancheng¡¯s grandson going crazy, he had also heard of it. What he did not expect was that this Mo Xinghe was still alive. At this moment, there was an announcement from outside the court, ¡°Mo Wuji has arrived.¡± ¡°No need to bring him in, just push him out and kill him,¡± Situ Qian coldly ordered. Chapter 20: Life and Death Chapter 20: Life and Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My Lord, I thought we should be rewarding him handsomely instead of executing him?" Prefecture Duke Han Chengan stood up and responded immediately. "Why is that so?" Situ Qian frowned and answered. From the very beginning he had never liked Mo Tiancheng, the Prefecture Lord of Northern Qin Prefecture. Not only did the Mo Clan¡¯s descendant not offer the medication which they owned, to Cheng Yu State, he also let everyone know of its formula. Situ Qian did not care about Mo Wuji¡¯s motive but just wanted him dead. "My Lord, Mo Wuji''s contribution in the form of the Nine Lives Healing solution has been beneficial to both the country and its people. You could have executed him before he came up with this drug. However, you must not do anything to him now. If word were to spread that he was executed even though he had developed such a miraculous drug for the people, it would ruin your reputation and be very unfavourable towards Cheng Yu State. On the other hand, if people were to find out that you did not sentence him to death but rewarded him handsomely for saving the lives of many commoners, Cheng Yu State will be more stable and people will be more united." Prefecture Duke Han Chengan said his piece and retreated to the side. Although his words were not very clear, Situ Qian understood them well. Mo Wuji offended him, but Situ Qian should look past the offence and reward him handsomely. This act would stabilise his position as the Lord and people would love him even more. He could not have cared less about the life of a commoner like Mo Wuji. However, he had to care about how it will affect the stability of his position. Moreover, things had already happened and it was up to him to act upon it to improve or ruin his own reputation. The answer was very clear, even to an idiot. Furthermore, he could have easily executed Mo Wuji after the hype over him dissolved as everyone would have forgotten about him. "The Duke¡¯s words makes much sense. Someone bring Mo Wuji to me now, " Situ Qian immediately understood the key to this matter. A moment later, a pale looking young man with messy hair was brought into the hall. Could this be the drug refiner who developed the Nine Lives Healing solution? Everyone was shocked at the outfit and appearance of Mo Wuji. Yes, normally a drug refiner would not bother about his appearance but that was only when he was actually doing work in the laboratory. In most cases, a drug refiner would still dress decently outside of work. Even if he was at work, he should not look as pathetic as Mo Wuji did then. "Get on your knees, " The guard who brought Mo Wuji in shouted as he saw Mo Wuji assessing the situation in the hall. It appeared as though Mo Wuji had not heard him as he continued looking around. As though he had no idea that he was visiting the Lord. "You may go back. To succeed as a drug refiner and to have made such a huge contribution to the country, I shall allow him to stand and speak," Situ Qian waved to the guard and spoke in a pleasant tone. After the guard retreated, Situ Qian looked at Mo Wuji and asked, "So you are Mo Wuji?" Mo Wuji seemed to have a clearer idea of the situation now, and looked curiously and shockingly at Situ Qian and said, "Yes I am Mo Wuji. And are you the Lord? " A minister standing by the side suddenly stood up and scrambled to question Mo Wuji but was stopped in his tracks by Situ Qian, "I''ve heard you developed a top quality drug like the Nine Lives Healing solution. Could you tell me how you did it?" He heard about the incident where Mo Wuji went crazy. After all, Mo Wuji was still the descendant of the Northern Qin Prefecture''s Lord, he was bound to receive news about him. It¡¯s just that Situ Qian could not care less about him. In other words, if Mo Wuji had not developed the Nine Lives Healing solution, the Lord himself would not care even if he were to die on the streets. However, he could make full use of Mo Wuji''s talent if he really was a talented drug refiner. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, having walked through the gates of hell to find out that the Lord would not have him killed. Having almost died from the Channel Opening Solution and constantly being worried about penicillin bringing him bad luck, he barely had a moment of peace and rest. How could he still not spirited now? Entering the hall looking like an idiot could have been part of his plan too. He was a crazy person to begin with so it was only natural that his reaction was a little slow. "My Lord, this was a product my late father passed down to me. He told me that if I were struggling to survive, I could bring it out to save myself. Previously, I suffered from trauma and went crazy. Now that I''ve just recovered, I thought of the product my father left me. I took it out and decided to work with Dan Han Drug Refinery. I had no clues on how to actually refine drugs," Mo Wuji explained. Situ Qian felt a little remorseful for not paying more attention to Mo Wuji''s life after Mo Wuji explained himself. He did not suspect Mo Wuji''s words. He knew Mo Tiancheng was a drug refiner. When he went missing, Mo Wuji was not born yet. Therefore it made perfect sense that Mo Wuji was not able to learn how to refine drugs from his father. After all, drug refining was not something everyone could learn easily. "So why did you spread the formula around then?" Situ Qian continued to question him. Mo Wuji pretended to look nervous and said," This formula was passed down from my grandfather to my father, so that he could present it to the people when he succeeded the throne. However, he died early and did not manage to succeed the throne. Previously, I was too obsessed with being the Lord that I entered a blind alley. Now that I''ve recovered and know that the Mo family will no longer have a chance to succeed the Northern Qin Prefecture''s throne, I wanted to make use of this opportunity to do something for the people. Nine Lives Healing solution would be able to save the lives of many, gaining some praise and recognition for the Mo Clan." Situ Qian nodded his head subtly. As the Northern Qin Prefecture''s Lord had always been from the Mo Clan, this would have been the best way to gain some prestige and garner support for his reign, especially for a new Lord like himself. Up till then, he believed as much as 90% of Mo Wuji''s words. "If this was the case, why did you work with Dan Han Drug Refinery to sell the drug at such a steep price? Only to give away the formula after producing a batch of drugs," Situ Qian questioned and stared straight at him. Mo Wuji said with a little bit of fear, ¡°Previously, I did not even have enough gold coins to fill my stomach. Where would i find the money to publicise the drug? Dan Han Drug Refinery''s owner treated me very well. So I have three main reasons for doing so. Firstly, I needed the money to publicise it. Secondly, I wanted to repay Owner Lu''s kindness towards me. Thirdly, I wanted to let everyone know that Nine Lives Healing solution is a top grade healing solution, not just something I exaggerated." Situ Qian was filled with even more regret after he heard Mo Wuji''s reply. If he knew of this a day earlier, he could have prevented the formula from being leaked out. Situ Qian forcefully put aside his unhappiness towards Mo Wuji, pondered for a moment and said, "Mo Wuji, even though you did not personally develop the Nine Lives Healing solution, it is still part of the Mo Clan¡¯s contribution to Cheng Yu State. As the Lord, I''ve decided to reward you. If you still dream of succeeding the throne, it is not exactly impossible." Those who knew about Mo Wuji''s past lamented his luck when they heard these words. This was like the saying: "A watched flower never blooms but an untended willow grows." The Mo Clan wanted the throne so badly that Mo Guangyuan died and Mo Xinghe went crazy. Now that Mo Wuji introduced this drug, he was given the hope of succeeding the throne. Almost everyone believed that Mo Wuji would want to succeed the throne of Northern Qin Prefecture especially since he went crazy after his failure to do so. Even after he recovered, many believed he still dreams about it. Mo Wuji sneered. If Situ Qian was to give up the throne to the Mo Clan, his father would never have lost his life in Rao Zhou City. Looking at the big picture, if he were to agree to succeed the throne, he might not be too far away from death. Let''s not talk about whether he could make it out of Rao Zhou City to Northern Qin Prefecture safely. Let''s say he made it to Northern Qin Prefecture with a stamp by Lord Situ Qian to be a Lord there, was he not courting death? How could he have possibly forgotten that he was almost poisoned to death just yesterday? No matter who was the one who tried to poison him, Mo Wuji was dead sure that even if he died yesterday, this Lord of Cheng Yu State would definitely not have said anything about his death. Chapter 21: Looking For An Escape Route Chapter 21: Looking For An Escape Route Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My Lord, thank you for your kind offer. However, I know how difficult it is to be a Lord. A Lord has to continuously worry for the country. I own some shares in Dan Han Drug Refinery and the profits from these shares are enough for me to spend for the rest of my life. Since I am not a drug refiner, I cannot develop any new drugs to sell. However, after this incident, I developed a soft spot for drug refining and I just wish to settle down in a quiet environment to focus on learning how to refine drugs. Hopefully, I can contribute more to the people of this country in the future," Mo Wuji said with caution and fear. Situ Qian was slightly surprised at Mo Wuji''s reply. Previously, Mo Wuji was extremely persistent in his attempt to succeed the throne. Thus, Situ Qian did not believe that Mo Wuji would have known that Situ Qian would kill him if he agreed to accept the offer. Those who knew about Mo Wuji''s past were also very curious about his decision. How could a descendant of the Mo Clan refuse to succeed the throne when it was offered to him? "Are you really interested in drug refining? If you are, I could recommend you to Cheng Yu Drug Refining School," An elder with white hair stood forward and said. The present Mo Wuji was not like the foolish Mo Xinghe; he immediately understood this elder''s intentions. This elder merely wanted to bootlick the Lord and show his contribution to improve his position in the kingdom. Mo Wuji did want to attend that school. However, he was sure someone was out to assassinate him. Even though he gave up the throne, he still had to be careful. "I''m not only interested in drug refining. More than anything else, I am interested in cultivating. However, I only have mortal roots and I¡¯m unable to cultivate," Mo Wuji said while sighing. There was truth to his sentence as being unable to cultivate was indeed his greatest pain. Han Chengan appeared as though he could read Mo Wuji''s mind and said, "Young Brother Mo, 6 months later, Xing Han Empire will be organising the Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate Conference. Cheng Yu State will send ten participants; the Han Clan would be sending one too. If you are willing, I can give you the opportunity to follow the Han family to participate in the Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate Conference as an attendant. I am only afraid this would be unworthy of your presence as your ancestors were from nobility after all." "May I ask who you are?" Mo Wuji was pleased regardless of what his status was. Staying here would be too dangerous. If he agreed to go to Xing Han Empire, he could meet real cultivators and even find new opportunities. More importantly, he could leave Cheng Yu State. The white haired elder grunted at Mo Wuji and said, "This is Cheng Yu State''s Prefecture Duke, Han Chengan. Why don''t you hurry and thank him for his offer? Quit thinking you''re the small Lord of Northern Qin Prefecture because you''re not." Mo Wuji did not agree with him as he knew the white haired elder was biased against him for the earlier incident. "So you''re Prefecture Duke Han. Thank you for your kind offer. I, Mo Wuji, have always looked up to your big name and I am willing to follow the Han Clan for this conference," Mo Wuji replied respectfully to Han Chengan. After replying, Mo Wuji realised something and turned his head to the white haired elder, ¡°And you are?" The white haired elder saw that Mo Wuji was willing to follow the Han family and felt a little unhappy. He replied Mo Wuji coldly, ¡°I am Minister Yao Kang." "I¡¯ve never heard of you," Mo Wuji said and immediately turned to Situ Qian. "My Lord, thank you for your kindness. I''ve decided to represent and serve the Han Clan." He completely ignored Yao Kang, as if Yao Kang was just a passerby. "It shall be as you wish,¡± Situ Qian said perfunctorily. One of the eunuchs who stood by him knew that Situ Qian was getting irritated and thus said, "Dismissed." Han Chengan said to Mo Wuji, "You should go and pack up. You will follow me back to the Han Residence." Mo Wuji said hurriedly, "Thank you Prefecture Duke, I will pack my things and then head over to the Duke''s place tonight." Han Chengan nodded and said, "Please go ahead first. Just register your name once you¡¯ve reached my residence." After finishing his words, Han Chengan did not bother about Mo Wuji anymore as he followed the rest of the ministers out. Mo Wuji naturally sped up and followed closely behind them, leaving behind an unsatisfied Yao Kang. Yao Kang never expected a lowly personnel like Mo Wuji to be so arrogant. He embarrassed Yao Kang in front of so many ministers by saying he had not heard of him before, while he had a lot of respect for Han Chengan. In terms of authority, he held more power than Han Chengan. Han Chengan''s position was only slightly higher than his. Watching Mo Wuji''s back as he hurried off, there was a trace of coldness in Yao Kang''s eyes. ¡­ If Mo Wuji did not have important things to settle, he would have immediately followed Han Chengan back to the Han Residence. He still had eight more bottles of the channel opening solution which he had to bring along with him. Whether they work or not, he refused to discard them. Who knows, maybe if he added more ingredients, it could become a solution that can successfully open a channel. More importantly, he still has over 10000 gold coins at Dan Han Drug Refinery. He could not afford to leave these gold coins behind as they were his life insurance. Furthermore, he had not been home since he started work at Dan Han Drug Refinery. Nobody knew how long he would be staying at the Han Residence. He wanted to use this opportunity to return home to see if Yan''Er left anything important behind. After he arrived in this world, Yan''Er was the only one he really cared about. ¡­ Mo Wuji''s return to Dan Han Drug Refinery was greeted by a depressed Lu Jiujun. When he saw Mo Wuji walking over, Lu Jiujun stood up as if his butt was on fire. He grabbed Mo Wuji and asked, ¡°Brother Mo, what is the meaning of this? Just when we were about to make it big, you gave the formula away for free?" Mo Wuji said in a serious tone, ¡°Old Lu, after hearing Cheng Ling Pill workshop''s Owner Mei''s words, I realised one very important thing. This revolutionary drug must be able to benefit even the poor commoners in order to save the lives of many. Otherwise, this would only be a drug for the rich. Dan Han Drug Refinery would never be capable of producing for so many commoners; therefore giving this formula away would invite more suppliers of this drug. This way, the Nine Lives Healing solution''s price will be lowered.¡± Mo Wuji would never reveal the true reason why he gave away the formula: to protect his own life. Lu Jiujun might be able to guess it but Mo Wuji would never reveal it to him. "All right, Brother Mo, then are you able to help Dan Han Drug Refinery develop a new drug?" Lu Jiujun was experienced as he knew when to back off when the situation could no longer be salvaged. Mo Wuji patted Lu Jiujun''s shoulder and said, "Old Lu, listen to me. Continue selling the Nine Lives Healing solution at a lower price. Remember, sometimes people pay more for the branding. When Nine Lives Healing solution becomes very popular throughout Cheng Yu State, the richer people will only buy from the refinery that first developed it. This is part of branding, it is fully dependent on you whether you can pull this off well. Giving away this formula may not be a bad thing for Dan Han Drug Refinery after all." Lu Jiujun trusted Mo Wuji the most. After Mo Wuji finished his piece, Lu Jiujun immediately understood what he meant. His spirits were immediately lifted and he asked, "So Brother Mo, what should we do now?" Mo Wuji laughed and replied, "It will no longer be what we should do now but rather, what you should do now. I have decided to accept Prefecture Duke Han''s invitation to be a guard at the Han Residence. I came back just to retrieve my belongings and collect the portion of profits that belongs to me." Mo Wuji was visiting the Han Residence as a guest yet he made himself sound very important. "Ahh..." Lu Jiujun was shocked and then sighed, "Aii, Dan Han Drug Refinery is indeed too small for Brother Mo. My heartiest congratulations to you and your bright future. Don¡¯t worry, as long as Dan Han Drug Refinery continues to earn, you will continue to have profits." Mo Wuji would no longer be refining drugs at Dan Han Drug Refinery. To be still able to say these words must not be easy for Lu Jiujun. Chapter 22: Joining the Han Residence Chapter 22: Joining the Han Residence Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations ¡°Young master Mo, you¡¯re back. Where is Miss Yan¡¯Er?¡± Mo Wuji saw Aunt Lu pushing her small cart back as he arrived at the rental apartment that he and Yan¡¯Er shared. Aunt Lu saw Mo Wuji, and was pleasantly surprised. Based on what she had heard, Mo Wuji¡¯s mental state seemed to have improved. Mo Wuji bowed in respect, ¡°Aunt Lu, thank you for taking care of me and Yan¡¯Er all these years. But now, Yan¡¯Er has been taken from me. I will soon be leaving Rao Zhou too. I¡¯ve returned today to take Yan¡¯Er¡¯s possessions away.¡± This was the first time that Mo Wuji saw Aunt Lu. She was a lady, that was rather tanned and appeared to be over thirty years old. Stress had left many marks on her face, and these creases concealed a beautiful face that should have been there as she was in her prime. Seeing Aunt Lu returning full of fatigue, Mo Wuji suspected that business was bad at the store last night. ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. Even though Yan¡¯Er has matured, she¡¯s still too young and needs someone to look after her¡­¡± Aunt Lu stopped herself from saying any more. All this while, Yan¡¯Er was supposed to need someone to take care of her, but in reality it was her that took care of this Young Master in front of Aunt Lu. ¡°Go in and tidy up the place, I¡¯ve kept the room just for you all this time,¡± Aunt Lu hurriedly pushed her cart away after completing her sentence. Mo Wuji walked into a storeroom which did not even have a lock and was only secured by a piece of rope. A pile of dust welcomed him. A few months away from the place and the whole interior was covered with dust. Mo Wuji had only stayed here for two nights ever before. Back then, he had one bed and one decent carpet, but on Yan¡¯Er¡¯s side it was much shabbier. Other than a few neat piles of old and tattered clothes, there was nothing else. This meant that Yan¡¯Er did not even have a rug to sleep on at night. In his heart, Mo Wuji felt a tinge of regret. Being able to meet a girl like Yan¡¯Er would have used up all of the good karma he had accumulated. Especially after he had been backstabbed, Mo Wuji knew how rare girls like Yan¡¯Er were. He carefully dusted Yan¡¯Er¡¯s last few pieces of clothing before placing them into his bag. It was then he saw a hairpin at the bottom of the pile. This was a hairpin that Mo Wuji had no recollection of Yan¡¯Er ever wearing, and even though the hairpin was only a plain metal one, it looked to be Yan¡¯Er¡¯s most precious piece of jewellery. Mo Wuji wrapped up the hairpin, walking over to the mirror which had many scratches on it. This was Yan¡¯Er¡¯s only makeup accessory. Perhaps this mirror was what Yan¡¯Er used to dress up for him. With a final sigh, Mo Wuji kept the mirror into his bag too. Looking through this small storeroom one last time, Mo Wuji then walked out. ¡°Young Master Mo, since Yan¡¯Er is not around, why don¡¯t you join me for a meal?¡± Outside the storeroom, Mo Wuji saw Aunt Lu with a scarf wrapped around her neck. Mo Wuji bowed to Aunt Lu again respectfully, took out a cloth bag and passed it to Aunt Lu while saying, ¡°Aunt Lu, I will be leaving Rao Zhou soon. This cloth bag contains a present from Yan¡¯Er and myself. From now on please don¡¯t go to set up your stall. If it¡¯s possible, could you continue to preserve the storehouse that Yan¡¯Er and I lived in? I¡¯m leaving now, take care Aunt Lu.¡± After finishing what he had to say, Mo Wuji did not stay any longer, turning around and leaving swiftly. Aunt Lu did not protect Yan¡¯Er and him in any special way, but provided them with a place to stay, and casually gave them half a bowl of rice. That little bit of rice meant the world to Mo Wuji and Yan¡¯Er, and they were very grateful for it. A hundred gold coins would have been sufficient for a normal family to get by, and he was afraid that giving her too much would bring about a sense of unease. Only when Mo Wuji disappeared from sight did Aunt Lu remember that she was holding a small cloth bag in her hand. She opened the bag, and the glint and sparkle of gold almost made her scream out in shock. She knew what was going on immediately: Yan¡¯Er and Young Master Mo met a generous benefactor. She hurriedly ran back, unable to keep her heart rate under control. ¡­ An hour later, Mo Wuji stood before a large residence. ¡°Han Residence¡± Two large ancient words told Mo Wuji that this was the place that he would be living in for the next few months: Prefecture Duke Old Han Chengan¡¯s own residence. From his rough estimates, the Han Residence occupied at least over ten thousand square meters. In this busy Rao Zhou City Center, how much would such a large residence cost? Who knew how much this cost compared to the old Mo Prefecture Lord Residence was in Northern Qin? Unfortunately Mo Wuji did not even have a vague idea of anything in Northern Qin. ¡°Hey, you little kid, what are you trying to do, loitering in front of the Prefecture Duke¡¯s Residence? Scram!¡± The guards in front of the Prefecture Duke¡¯s Residence unhappily shouted at Mo Wuji just as he was sighing. Mo Wuji frantically went up and greeted them, ¡°My two brothers, I am Mo Wuji¡­¡± ¡°You are Mo Wuji? The one that the Old Prefecture Duke personally invited to the residence yesterday?¡± exclaimed the guard that was just shouting at Mo Wuji, directly interrupting Mo Wuji. Following which, he muttered to himself, ¡°He doesn¡¯t look special in any way to me.¡± Mo Wuji laughed, ¡°Yes that¡¯s me.¡± The guard¡¯s love for gossip was immediately ignited, and he carefully pulled Mo Wuji to one side, asking ,¡±I heard that you are even a Drug Refiner. Ah yes, why did you leave the position of Prefecture Lord to come to the Han Residence as a worker?¡± Mo Wuji then greeted the Han Residence with an imaginary greeting, and said, ¡°Brother, it is inappropriate for you to ask such a question. My admiration towards prefecture Duke Old Han is endless, how could a simple position of Prefecture Lord compare to being a worker at the Han Residence? In other words, If I let you choose between being a guard at the Han Residence and being a Prefecture Lord, which one would you choose?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± This guard was not able to answer at that moment. Wasn¡¯t it obvious to choose to be Prefecture Lord? But no matter how he packaged these words, once news spread about what he said, wouldn¡¯t that be telling others that he had no sense of belonging towards the Han Residence? ¡°Hehe, I am not that unsupportive of the Old Prefecture Duke, naturally I¡¯ll choose being the guard for the Han Residence.¡± The guard rubbed his hand and joined in the laughter. Mo Wuji pat the guard¡¯s shoulders, ¡°Hasn¡¯t this issue come to a close now? For such simple questions that you had the answers to, you still dared to ask me those questions again? You¡¯re intentionally giving me extra work.¡± ¡°No, no,¡± The guard quickly said. Mo Wuji chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m just kidding. I still have to rely on you to bring me in to report my arrival.¡± The guard¡¯s chest went ¡®badump badump¡¯, ¡°Brother Mo, just leave this to me. In the future you will be the friend of myself, Ding Bu¡¯Er. Please come with me.¡± After speaking his piece, Ding Bu¡¯Er waved and greeted a few other guards, taking the initiative to bring Mo Wuji for reporting. Even though Mo Wuji did not know any martial arts, he was assigned to the Han Residence¡¯s protection department, becoming a Defender of the Residence. Ding Bu¡¯Er, Mo Wuji subconsciously thought of Ding Bu¡¯San and Ding Bu¡¯Si [1] after hearing this name. This guy looked a little perverted, but he had a good look in his eye and spoke with sincerity, which made Mo Wuji have a good impression of him. Ding Bu¡¯Er seemed like he was trying to tell everyone that Mo Wuji was under his wing, bringing Mo Wuji around different parts of the Residence, introducing him to everyone. However Mo Wuji could see that Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s position was not a high ranking one. Out of all of the workers and guards, only a few even bothered about what Ding Bu¡¯Er was doing, which was because no one wanted to stand out and embarrass him. Even at the courtyard he was guarding, not many people greeted him at all. He had not even seen the chairman of the new department before. No matter what, the Han Residence¡¯s treatment of Mo Wuji was still considered to be acceptable. Even for a new worker like Mo Wuji, he had a single room to himself. ¡°Bu¡¯Er, Prefecture Duke Old Han mentioned that there is a Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate Conference in three months¡¯ time, will the members of the Han Residence need to participate?¡± After going round the residence, Mo Wuji still did not see the person who would bring him along to the Empire¡¯s Spring Immortals¡¯ Gate Conference, making him quite impatient. He did not come here simply to be a worker, but to borrow the power of the Han Residence to go to the Xing Han Empire¡¯s capital city. Most importantly, to take a look at the Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate Conference, and take the opportunity to leave Rao Zhou. [1] Er is two in Chinese, while San is three and Si is four. Chapter 23: So… You are Mo Wuji? Chapter 23: So¡­ You are Mo Wuji? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ding Bu''Er''s face immediately revealed an expression of worship, "Of course! That is the old duke''s daughter, Han Ning. She can be considered a genius even in the entire Cheng Yu State. The quality of her spiritual roots are also very good. Three years ago, the old duke specially brought her to Chang Luo, the royal capital, to open her spirits, and she immediately opened seven spirit channels. Now, the little miss is in Channel Opening Stage Level 5, with more than 20 spirit channels opened. If not for this Spring Immortal''s Gate, the little miss would have entered a sect three years ago." Mo Wuji had heard about spirit channels before; the more channels you opened during your spirit opening, the greater your potential. A higher quality spiritual root would cause more spiritual channels to open during the spirit opening. But Mo Wuji only had mortal roots; he didn''t even have spiritual roots. Previously when he tried to open his spirits, he could not open any spirit channels whatsoever. "Why must she wait for the Spring Immortal''s Gate? Wouldn''t it have been better for the little miss to join a sect three years ago?" Mo Wuji asked puzzledly. From his point of view, there was an obvious difference between cultivating in a sect and cultivating at home. If Han Ning entered a sect three years ago, her cultivation level would probably be higher than her current Channel Opening Stage Level 5. Ding Bu''Er laughed cheekily, and made a mysterious expression. Speaking in a teacher-like tone, he patted Mo Wuji and said, "This is where you don''t understand. The true, big sects only accept disciples during the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. If the little miss was to enter a sect three years ago, she could only join some small sect. Do you think these small sects can compete with the resources and techniques of the big ones?" So that was the reason. Mo Wuji also agreed with this argument. When comparing the resources of Peking University and a diploma mill, Peking University would definitely emerge victorious. "The old duke allowed me to come here, was so that I could be the little miss''s follower and accompany her to the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. Bu''Er, when can I meet the little miss?" Mo Wuji took the initiative to ask. Ding Bu''Er shook his head, "Brother Wuji, the old duke only said that to appease you. The one who will be following the little miss to participate in the Spring Immortal''s Gate will not be either of us." "Why?" Mo Wuji was shocked. That was the reason he came. If he didn''t get to attend the conference, then what was the point of coming here? Ding Bu''Er whispered in Mo Wuji''s ear, "The little miss will personally pick her followers. She doesn''t even know us, so we definitely won''t be picked. In all honesty, my chances of being picked is even higher than yours. After all, I take care of the yard and I am also the door guard. At least, the little miss would have noticed me." Mo Wuji''s heart sank. If this was how Han Ning really picked her followers, he really would not have a chance. Ding Bu''Er patted Mo Wuji''s shoulders and brought him to his personal residence with slight sympathy. "No, I came here to go to the royal capital. If what Ding Bu''Er says is true, I need to find ways to meet Han Ning. There''s no rush, I can start tomorrow. I will first interact with the people in the Han Residence." After sending Ding Bu''Er off, Mo Wuji jumped onto his bed and fell asleep. Ever since he drank the channel opening solution, he did not have proper rest. He did not even sleep last night. It was quite amazing to have endured till now. ... The sky was still dim. A bell rang in the Han Residence¡¯s yard. Everyone woke up, and washed up as fast as they could before rushing to the martial arts training field. Mo Wuji was exhausted, both physically and mentally. Even if he heard the bell, he wouldn''t have woken up. In just half an incense of time, more than a hundred guards gathered in the martial arts field. "Ta ta..." The sound of a horse unhurriedly walking was heard. A girl in red riding a tall, red horse was coming over. From afar, it looked like a fireball was slowing arriving. Behind her, there was a girl in blue riding a yellow horse. "Greetings Miss Ning," the guards called out. Everyone here recognised that this person was the Han Residence''s favoured Han Ning. Han Ning''s eyes swept across the hundred people as she slowly said, "Today, I''m going to the Thunder Fog Forest, and I require ten of you to act as my guards. Among the ten of you, the one who performs the best will get to follow me to the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference." Once they heard the little miss''s words, the hundred guards instantly became invigorated, beating their chests in excitement. They all wished to enter the eyes of the little miss, and to be picked to enter the Thunder Fog Forest. No matter how dangerous the Thunder Fog Forest was, it couldn''t stop the allure of the Royal Capital. "Who is Mo Wuji?" Han Ning suddenly cried. The guards instantly went silent. It felt like half a day had passed but no one answered. Most people here did not even know who Mo Wuji was. Han Ning''s face turned unsightly, and she shouted louder, "Mo Wuji has not come?" Ding Bu''Er hurriedly stood forward and said hesitantly, "Little Miss, Mo Wuji just came yesterday. Maybe he is still not very familiar..." With the words of Ding Bu''Er, Han Ning''s face turned even more unsightly, "Everyone here will run around the training field till Mo Wuji comes. Anyone who falls out will have one month''s pay deducted." A sturdy man standing at the front angrily said to a guard beside him, "Chang Songcai, immediately get that bastard over here." "Yes," an aggressive looking man responded and hurriedly ran out of the training field. ... "Bang bang!" Mo Wuji was awakened by the hammering on his door. He opened his eyes and found that the sky was barely pan-bright. The door was being hammered. This simply isn''t knocking anymore. Don''t tell me that a simple house attendant must wake up earlier than the rooster? "What is it?" Mo Wuji opened the door angrily. "You must be new. Because of you, all of us are being punished by the little miss. Hurry up and get to the martial arts training field. Hurry!" Standing at the door was an aggressive-looking man with a long face and a black nose. Mo Wuji recognised him. He was there during Ding Bu''Er''s introduction yesterday. His name is Chang Songcai. Mo Wuji wrinkled his brows and asked, "The sky isn''t even bright yet, what''s going on?" He was still a bit unhappy that an attendant woke him up abruptly. "The little miss is going to the Thunder Fog Forest today and is picking people to follow her. But you disobeyed the gathering orders and remained here. No wonder why people called you arrogant. You are truly arrogant!" Chang Songcai stared at Mo Wuji and said with a cold voice. Previously, he was trying to look for ways to find Han Ning. Now Han Ning was going to the Thunder Fog Forest and was picking followers. Wasn''t this exactly what he wanted? Mo Wuji finally reacted and said hurriedly, "Wait for awhile, I will soon be ready." Finishing his words, Mo Wuji rushed to wash up and followed Chang Songcai to the training field. "Brother Chang, you said someone called me arrogant? But I only came yesterday?" Mo Wuji recalled Chang Songcai''s words. Chang Songcai was too lazy to bother about Mo Wuji, and hastened his pace. "So...You are the Mo Wuji who doesn''t even put Minister Yao Kang in his eyes?" The moment Mo Wuji entered the training field, a crisp, angry voice called out to him. Chapter 24: Thunder Fog Forest Chapter 24: Thunder Fog Forest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji saw a young lady in red staring at him. Although she was not as beautiful as Wen Manzhu, this lady possessed beautiful features and had a very proportional figure. She was skinny but Mo Wuji could feel a strong energy surging from her. This lady must be Han Chengan''s precious daughter, Han Ning. Han Chengan looked very old so Mo Wuji never expected his daughter to be so young and beautiful. "I am Mo Wuji. Nice to meet you," Mo Wuji replied politely. "Since you are here in the Han Residence, why didn''t you gather with the rest when the morning bell rang?" Han Ning''s tone suddenly became serious. Mo Wuji gave an innocent look and replied, "Little miss, I initially thought the bell was for us to gather for breakfast. As a newcomer, how could I possibly queue with the rest for breakfast? I was planning to eat after everyone had taken their food. If I knew the bell was for us to assemble in the morning, I would have been the first to reach the martial arts training field." Chang Hongcai, the one who woke him up, thought to himself, "I almost tore your door apart trying to wake you up and you still dare to say such things without feeling ashamed?" However, Chang Hongcai did not dare to express his unhappiness towards Mo Wuji in front of Han Ning. He had previously seen Han Ning break all four limbs of a house attendant and throw him onto the streets to feed the dogs. As long as Han Ning did not question Mo Wuji any further, he would not get himself involved. Han Ning nodded her head, "I am planning to bring you with me into the Thunder Fog Forest as I''ve heard you know quite a bit about drug refinement. I must warn you that the Thunder Fog Forest is a very dangerous place. The 11th Prince of Cheng Yu State once brought people into the Thunder Fog Forest and none of them returned alive. Do you dare to follow me?" She believed that Mo Wuji was not lying; Mo Wuji was indeed a newcomer. Coupled with the fact that he used to be from the nobility, he would not want to fight for breakfast with the rest. She could also understand that Mo Wuji probably didn''t know that breakfast was not provided so early in the Han Residence. This was because they had to wait for things to be done properly before they could start eating. Mo Wuji''s expression immediately turned serious and he said, "I, Mo Wuji, may be afraid of death. However, to have the chance to work for little miss, I will dare to go through the toughest of mountains and the most dangerous of seas, let alone the Thunder Fog Forest." Mo Wuji knew very clearly that he had to go even if he did not want to. He knew he had to impress Han Ning if he wanted to stand a chance to be selected to go to the Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate Conference in a few months'' time. At the same time, he felt that Han Ning''s real intention of asking him along was not for his knowledge on drug refinement. He was dead sure he had told Han Chengan that he knew nothing about drug refinement. Han Ning invited Mo Wuji because her Father told her that Mo Wuji could be useful to her. Now that Mo Wuji accepted her invitation, Han Ning was very pleased and said, "Since this is the case, please step aside." Han Ning''s eyes fell on an energetic young man in the group of guards, "Chief Guard Peng, pick eight more guards for me. Including Mo Wuji and yourself, we will leave immediately once we have ten guards in total." This energetic young man was Han Residence¡¯s Chief Guard Peng Maohua. He stood up in a hurry after he heard Han Ning''s words, ¡°Little miss, are you sure you will only bring ten guards into the Thunder Fog Forest?" Han Ning replied, "This time we will only be going to the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest to practice for a few days. At the same time, we will also be looking for a certain herb. We will not be going too deep into the forest." "Yes, I understand," Peng Maohua answered and immediately looked back to the hundred over trainees, "Yu Zhi, Chang Hongcai, Ding Bu¡¯Er, Cai Jiu..." The eight guards were selected quickly, but much to Mo Wuji''s surprise was the inclusion of Ding Bu¡¯Er. Ding Bu¡¯Er walked over faintly to Mo Wuji and whispered in his ears, "Brother Mo, you must be the reason why I was chosen." Mo Wuji questioned the decision to include Ding Bu¡¯Er. Logically speaking, Ding Bu¡¯Er would not have qualified to be chosen. He looked over to Peng Maohua, who coincidentally was also looking at him and saw that Peng Maohua nodded at him. Mo Wuji understood his intention. Peng Maohua guessed that Mo Wuji was important to Han Ning and hence wanted to make use of Ding Bu¡¯Er to please him. "Bu¡¯Er, please address me as Wuji. In fact, you are older than me," Mo Wuji whispered. Ding Bu¡¯Er nodded his head, "Yes, Wuji. From today onwards, you will be my best friend." After Peng Maohua picked 8 guards, a lady in blue riding on a yellow horse behind Han Ning announced, "Everyone pick a horse and prepare yourself. We will leave in a while." "That is little miss¡¯s personal maid, Shao Lan. She is Han Ning¡¯s favourite, we better not offend or neglect her," Ding Bu¡¯Er whispered into Mo Wuji''s ears. "I need to go back and take some things first," Mo Wuji nodded his head. He was not so brain-dead as to offend people around Han Ning. Mo Wuji went back to bring the few bottles of channel opening zolution he had with him as he had no idea how long he will be gone for in the Thunder Fog Forest. He was afraid he would never be at ease if someone were to find out these solutions could actually open a channel halfway. Mo Wuji picked a tall black horse and rode it back to the martial arts training field to familiarise himself with the horse. When all 12 of them left Rao Zhou City, the sky was still bright. These horses seemed well trained as they could run at very high speeds. At such a high speed, Mo Wuji felt a little uncomfortable riding it. "Bu¡¯Er, why didn''t we drive a car instead?" Mo Wuji knew there were cars here and they were mechanically-powered too. Logically speaking, a car would be much more convenient and less tiring. Ding Bu¡¯Er replied, "You''ll understand why soon." There was no need to wait for long before Mo Wuji found out. The road became narrow and uneven. They even had to travel on the edge of a cliff. The width of the road was barely a metre wide, which made Mo Wuji very worried. He was sure that if the horse were to miss its step, he would fall off the cliff. Fortunately, that did not last long. Half an hour later, they entered a canyon and Mo Wuji broke into a cold sweat as he was just glad he did not fall off the cliff. When the sky turned dark, Han Ning finally gave the order to stop. As Mo Wuji dismounted his horse, he felt an excruciating pain in his thigh with blood gushing out. "Have we arrived?" Mo Wuji bore with the pain and asked. "We have not reached the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest. Also, have you not ridden a horse before?" Ding Bu¡¯Er noticed Mo Wuji''s injury as he stood near to him. "It''s been a long time since I rode one. Let''s go help," Mo Wuji said as he saw the rest helping to set up the tents. Ding Bu¡¯Er understood Mo Wuji''s wish to hide the fact that he could not even ride a horse because he would not stand a chance to follow Han Ning if she found out. After working for over an hour, Mo Wuji followed the rest to eat some biscuits before heading into the tent to rest. Each tent could fit two people. Therefore, there were five tents which surrounded Han Ning''s tent in the middle. Mo Wuji and Ding Bu¡¯Er shared a tent as they were the most familiar with each other. "Are you okay? I have some medication over here," Ding Bu¡¯Er passed a bottle of medication to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved it off and said, "I am okay. What dangers will we actually face in the Thunder Fog Forest? Will we be able to reach tomorrow?" Ding Bu¡¯Er replied, "You don''t have to worry. We will only be at the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest, it will not be dangerous. You just have to remember to never step foot into the Thunder Fog Forest itself." "Why not?" Mo Wuji asked instantaneously. Ding Bu¡¯Er''s face turned serious, "Do not ask why. 90% of those who risk their life to enter the Thunder Fog Forest do not make it back out." Chapter 25: Forced into the Thunder Fog Forest Chapter 25: Forced into the Thunder Fog Forest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji frowned, "Bu''Er, why is it that it is prohibited to enter the Thunder Fog Forest? Do you know anything about this?" Ding Bu''Er sighed and said, "I do know a little. I heard that there are some extremely strong demonic beasts deep within the Thunder Fog Forest. Demonic beasts! They are comparable to cultivators. The Cheng Yu State Protector once delved deep in the Thunder Fog Forest and he barely escaped with his life. Our little miss also told us the story of how the 11th Prince, Situ Yue, entered the forest and was never seen again." At this moment, Ding Bu''Er lowered his voice, "Prince Yue was our Cheng Yu State''s genius. After he disappeared in the Thunder Fog forest, the State Lord got the State Protector to search for him. Ultimately, the State Protector could only escape the forest with severe injuries, and he did not manage to save Prince Yue." Mo Wuji turned silent. The Thunder Fog Forest was dangerous even for someone as strong as the State Protector. He could not even win Hu Fei. If he were to enter the Thunder Fog Forest, he might not even leave with his bones. Seeing Mo Wuji turn silent, Ding Bu''Er continued, "Besides the wickedly strong demonic beasts, there are countless of lightning lakes in the Thunder Fog Forest. Within those lakes, are thousands to millions of lightning bolts. If you get caught in a lightning lake, you would instantly be struck to death." Finishing his words, Bu''Er patted Mo Wuji''s shoulder, "Sleep early. We will reach the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest by tomorrow afternoon." ¡­ No one knew whether it''s because Mo Wuji was specially picked by the little miss, or that everyone felt that he was useless, but he did not get allocated any duties for the whole night. The next morning, when the sky was still dim but Mo Wuji was pulled awake by Ding Bu''Er. He quickly washed up and continued on the journey. Ding Bu''Er was right. They really arrived at the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest by the afternoon. Even if no one told him, Mo Wuji could guess that they had reached the Thunder Fog Forest. Although the forest was covered by fog, Mo Wuji could still see some occasional flashes of lightning. He even heard some unknown roars which induced fear. Everyone gathered in an area full of low bushes. Among the bushes, some foot paths could be seen. From time to time, some poisonous snakes and huge rats would rush across the bushes. "Chief Guard Peng, find someone to tend to the horses. At the same time, get him to clear this piece of land and build a temporary place to rest. The rest will follow me to find the Two-leaved Fire Grass," Han Ning instructed Peng Maohua. After hearing Han Ning''s words, Peng Maohua asked in shock, "Little miss, the Two-leaved Fire Grass is a spiritual plant ah..." Han Ning gently replied, "If it wasn''t for a spiritual plant, do I need to personally come to the Thunder Fog Forest?" "But... But..." Peng Maohua said hesitantly. The outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest did have some spiritual plants, but they had long been picked. To find some spiritual plants at the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest was extremely difficult. To find the extremely rare Two-leaved Fire Grass was simply as difficult as ascending the heavens. The little miss must have wanted them to enter the Thunder Fog Forest. He wanted to follow the little miss to the royal capital to participate in the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. But if it was at the cost of entering the Thunder Fog Forest, he would rather not go to the royal capital at all. "What do you think?" Han Ning said cooly. Peng Maohua took in a breath and said respectfully, "Even the State Protector barely escaped after entering the Thunder Fog Forest. If we were to go..." The expression of concern is palpable. Han Ning smiled, "Chief Guard Peng, you think too much. How could I dare enter the depths of the Thunder Fog Forest? At most, we would enter 10 metres into the forest. If we are still unable to find the grass, then I will give up. Your life is valuable. Mine is not worthless either." Hearing Han Ning''s words, Peng Maohua let out a sigh of relief. The little miss was right. She would not put herself into danger. If it''s just 10 metres, there shouldn''t be any problems. Thinking about this, Peng Maohua said to a slightly thin youth, "Chai Jiu, you will stay here to take care of the horses. At the same time, clear this area." Seeing that Peng Maohua had no objections, Han Ning nodded, "The rest of you, follow me in." Peng Maohua brought Mo Wuji and co. forward to clear the road. Han Ning and her personal maid Shao Lan followed behind closely. Two hours later, Mo Wuji discovered the trees in front getting taller and taller. The paths made by previous travellers could no longer be seen. However, there was also less grass, so there was no need to specially cut out a path. "Little miss, in a few more feet, we will enter the Thunder Fog Forest," Peng Maohua said nervously. Han Ning coughed, "The sky''s getting dark. We will not go in today, but we will search these few feet. Everyone form a human wall. Take note, although the Two-leaved Fire Grass is rare, not many people want it. This grass is best found in the evening because at this time, you can see the red glow of the grass." "Yes," Peng Maohua replied. Mo Wuji could feel the obvious change in Peng Maohua''s mood. Mo Wuji was familiar with the Two-leaved Fire Grass. When he was in Dan Han Drug Refinery, he saw it in the books. Two leaves grew from the roots. In between these two leaves, was a short grass core. The grass core was slightly red and shaped like a flame. "Ah.." Just as Peng Maohua got everyone to disperse, a cry broke the silence. "Chang Hongcai, what happened?" Peng Maohua said seriously. "I''ve been bitten by a Heart Drilling Snake...." Chang Hongcai stammered, ostensibly in pain. Han Ning pulled out a pill and gave it to Chang Hongcai, "Hurry swallow this. After the Heart Drilling Snake bites you, it''s poison will drill its way to your heart. If you do not take an antidote, you will die." "Thank..." Chang Hongcai only said one word before Mo Wuji heard Ding Bu''Er shouting, "So.. so many..." "Cha cha..." The grass rustled. It wasn''t just Ding Bu''Er. Everyone could see what was going on. More than 100 Heart Drilling Snakes came from behind Chang Hongcai. In the distance, there were even more sounds. Obviously, there were even more snakes behind these 100 Heart Drilling Snakes. "Everyone, run away..." Han Ning grabbed her maid and quickly retreated. Everyone immediately escaped. Naturally, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to run away as well. Behind him, Mo Wuji could see Chang Hongcai being surrounded by more than ten Heart Drilling Snakes. He could no longer be saved. Mo Wuji felt his scalp tingling and ran faster. At the same time, he took out his knife. This kind of snake was too terrifying. If you were surrounded, you would end up just like Chang Hongcai. After running 10 meters, Mo Wuji felt that something was wrong. If he continued to run forward, he would enter the Thunder Fog Forest. He looked around to see if the rest were running in the same direction. At this moment, he saw a black line flying by. Without thinking, Mo Wuji thrusted his knife towards the black line. The smell of blood almost made him vomit. Mo Wuji immediately knew what was going on. The Heart Drilling Snake could actually fly! Hearing the rustling sound behind him, Mo Wuji can no longer cared about the Thunder Fog Forest in front him. Every step he didn''t take was a step closer to death. Picking up his pace, Mo Wuji rushed into the Thunder Fog Forest without hesitation. Chapter 26: Lightning Lake of the Thunder Fog Forest Chapter 26: Lightning Lake of the Thunder Fog Forest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji kept on running as fast as he could till he could no longer hear the hissing. After he turned around and realised that the Heart Drilling Snakes were no longer in sight, he heaved a short sigh of relief. However at the back of his mind, Mo Wuji knew that he was not clear of danger. Thick fog and tall trees that surrounded him made it impossible to see the sky. At this moment, he was sure he had passed the outskirts, into the depths of the Thunder Fog Forest. Mo Wuji could not and did not bother trying to locate any of the other guards that came with Han Ning. He just had to get out in the shortest time possible. Even though he had never been in the Thunder Fog Forest before, he believed every single myth about this forest. He felt anxious from the very moment he had entered the forest. "Kacha!" A huge tree fell and two shadows emerged from the fog. With the aid of the dim light in the forest, Mo Wuji could make out what those two shadows were. Mo Wuji felt numbness in the scalp of his head as two wild beasts that he had never seen before appeared. One of them had three eyes with a body full of scales while the other looked like a lion, with blood and fur around the fangs of its stretched mouth. The two wild beasts appeared not to have seen Mo Wuji and did not bother about him. "Roar..." The deafening roars of the two wild beasts made Mo Wuji''s heart beat tremendously fast. Fortunately for Mo Wuji, it was not just one beast because then it would have definitely noticed him and gobbled him up. As Mo Wuji slowly retreated, the two beasts were always in his sight. They had to be the demonic beasts that Ding Bu''Er previously mentioned were prevalent in the forest. As Mo Wuji retreated, he felt his feet turn cold. He realised that he was too focused on the demonic beasts and did not bother to check what was behind him. "Kacha..." A lightning bolt flashed not too far away from Mo Wuji and lit up the surroundings. At this moment, he could clearly see where he was and realised that he had stepped into the middle of a swamp. "Kaka..." Two more lightning bolts flashed across Mo Wuji, forming a very mesmerising arched lightning bridge. Mo Wuji''s heart sank to its lowest point when he finally realised where he was. This must have been one of the deadly lightning lakes that Ding Bu''Er warned him about. After a long sigh, Mo Wuji calmed himself down. He had seen the demonic beasts and was now in a lightning lake of the Thunder Fog Forest. It would truly be a miracle if he was able to make it out alive. Mo Wuji''s feet felt icy cold as it sank into the freezing soil of the lightning lake. Nobody knew what other scarier things there were in this lightning lake other than the lightning bolts. Mo Wuji was no longer afraid of anything as he knew he would be dead either way. He carefully shifted his feet as he tried to get out of the swamp. He should at least try to fight for his life, even if he died trying. "Kacha..." Yet another lightning bolt struck. However, Mo Wuji was not so lucky this time as it struck his shoulder. Mo Wuji felt an intense burning sensation causing his whole body to soften as he fell to his knees. As if taking cue from this lightning bolt that struck Mo Wuji, a few more lightning bolts appeared from the lake, forming a circular-shaped arc that landed on Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji''s clothes were torn apart and he could smell his skin getting burnt as his whole body became numb. He ridiculed himself as he would have never expected himself to be electrocuted in his second life. He would rather go through something more ruthless that killed him instantly than this living hell. An even bigger lightning bolt flashed past him as if his wish was granted. "Kacha..." This lightning bolt struck Mo Wuji''s shoulder once again. However, Mo Wuji did not feel any more significant pain throughout his body. Not only that, Mo Wuji clearly felt the lightning bolt pierce through his shoulder, into his body, directly flushing something open. The next moment, his whole body felt relaxed. When Mo Wuji finally realised what was going on, he became extremely excited. The lightning bolt had opened a small gap in the clogged meridian that he almost managed to open using the channel opening solution. If the lightning bolts were to continuously create small gaps, would it mean that the clogged meridian would eventually be fully opened? Once the meridian was cleared, did that mean he would possess a spirit channel and finally be able to cultivate? Having been struck so many times by the lightning bolt, Mo Wuji was burnt inside out. He decided not to flee anymore. Instead, he would stay and wait for more lighting bolts to strike him. "Kaka..." Two more lightning bolts flashed from behind and struck him again. Unfortunately, these two lightning bolts only inflicted more pain and did not give him the other feeling like the one which helped to open a gap. It was a pity Mo Wuji had no control over the lightning bolts that struck him. If he did, he would strike his body to fully open his clogged meridian. After he experienced a few more lightning strikes, he realised that this was not the way to go. Before he could successfully open his meridian, he would have died from the pain. Mo Wuji took out a bottle of his channel opening solution from his ripped pocket and consumed the solution. It felt like a fire burning through the unopened meridian in his body. "Ka..." Yet another lightning bolt struck him. Mo Wuji tried to focus to allow the lightning bolt to strike through his burning meridian. Mo Wuji was not sure whether it was his focus or the solution that worked because this lightning bolt managed to strike through his meridian. Maybe it was just the psychological effect that Mo Wuji felt his meridian open slightly more. Another lightning bolt followed. Once again, it struck directly into the same meridian. The meridian opened up more because of this. Due to the lightning strikes, the burning solution dissipated through the body very quickly. It should have been the effect of the solution that allowed the lightning bolt to strike through the same meridian naturally. As he felt the solution in his body gradually disappearing, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to consume yet another bottle. "Kakakaka..." Ten continuous lightning bolts struck Mo Wuji''s body and he could not help but feel extremely relaxed. Even though he had been struck countless times already, he could feel that his body was full of energy at that very moment. It was a pity that he was not able to display this energy as his body could only feel pain and lethargy. Mo Wuji could barely control his tears from falling. At long last, he successfully managed to open a meridian, establishing his first spirit channel. Chapter 27: Heavy Losses Chapter 27: Heavy Losses Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ka!" Just as another lightning bolt flashed from the Lightning Lake, Mo Wuji twisted his body a little and managed to avoid this lightning bolt with ease. Mo Wuji was amazed as he did not think he would have successfully avoided the lightning bolt. No wonder cultivators were rumoured to be so powerful. Mo Wuji only managed to open one meridian and had yet to cultivate, but he felt his whole body beginning to ease up. This was as if he had managed to open up the governor and conceptual vessels like it was said in the legends. But just how powerful could those who opened over ten meridians and cultivated for many years be? A few more lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji. This time, however, he did not manage to avoid them. Mo Wuji started manoeuvring around. After half an incense¡¯s time and a few more strikes by the lightning bolts, Mo Wuji finally got out of the lightning lake. Mo Wuji stood by the lightning lake and sighed as he reflected on how he thought he was really destined to die. Life and fortune, who could tell what would happen next? If he never experienced this, he would never have found out the successful combination of his solution and lightning to open up his meridian. He used up eight bottles of his Channel Opening Solution and almost lost his life just trying to open one meridian. It was a heavy price to pay. Although Mo Wuji had two bottles left, he was not planning to continue using the lightning bolts to open a second meridian. Mo Wuji knew that it would be impossible to open a second meridian using the same method. If he was not careful, he could easily lose his life. However, Mo Wuji was not disappointed, because being able to open one meridian was a huge miracle to begin with. More importantly, he learnt of a method to open meridians. If the meridian was truly the spiritual channel, his dreams of becoming a cultivating genius might become reality. Mo Wuji heard yet another roar of the beasts and remembered that he was still in the Thunder Fog Forest. Before he entered the lightning lake, there were two demonic beasts fighting each other not too far away from here. Now, that same place had become a mess and the two demonic beasts were no longer in sight. Mo Wuji decided not to take the risk to try and escape in the night. It might allow him to move around unnoticed. However, there was a high possibility that he could go deeper into the forest unknowingly. Mo Wuji found a huge tree nearby and started climbing up the tree. He found a position in between the thick branches to lean on and used his tattered shirt to tie into a knot to secure him between the branches. He did not dare to spend the night on the ground in the Thunder Fog Forest. ¡­ Leaning against the branches, Mo Wuji fell asleep very quickly. When he woke up, there was light emerging from the crevice of the tree, shining through the fog onto his body. Mo Wuji checked his surroundings to make sure he was clear of danger before untying the knot from his shirt to slide down the tree. He had to get out of the forest as soon as possible and he needed to succeed the first time. If not, he could be stuck here forever. Just because he had luck on his side last night did not mean he would always be that fortunate. Mo Wuji carefully observed the location and surroundings of the lightning lake even though he doubted he would ever come back again. Then again, he would risk his life to come back if the second meridian really needed the lightning bolts to open. There were many lightning lakes in the Thunder Fog Forest but it would not be easy to find the right lightning lake that can help open his meridian. If he was struck by a much stronger lightning bolt from another lightning lake, his whole body might be burnt beyond recognition. Suddenly, Mo Wuji saw something which caught his eyes. Two-leaved Fire Grass? Mo Wuji immediately identified the Two-leaved Fire Grass. As it was dark last night, he did not notice the three Two-leaved Fire Grass in the vicinity of the lightning lake. The two leaves were separated by a flamed-shaped grass core. This plant could be very easily identified. Mo Wuji did not rush to pick those grasses up because it was not important to him. His priority would be to find his way out of this forest. It was dusk when he had entered the forest, so Mo Wuji could still remember the direction that he came from. He was relieved as he tried to recall and estimated that he was not too far away from the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest. Mo Wuji picked up the three Two-leaved Fire Grass as quickly as he could and ran in the direction he remembered. He believed that the Heart Drilling Snakes would not be loitering around the same region. They must have had a reason to move out in such large numbers, but whatever the reason, he hoped that he would not meet those snakes again. Half an hour later, Mo Wuji gradually lost his direction and started to worry. If he could not find the exit in another 10 minutes'' time, this would mean he had lost his way and might stop trying to find a way out. "Mo Wuji..." Someone cried out from far away. Mo Wuji initially thought he heard wrong but the same cry was heard again. He was sure someone was calling out for him. He recognised the voice of the cry and he could roughly make out that it was Bu''Er''s voice. Mo Wuji was relieved by the fact that Ding Bu''Er was not bitten by the Heart Drilling Snakes and was still looking for him. Mo Wuji followed the direction of the cry and quickened his pace towards it. Within a few minutes, Mo Wuji could see everything clearly as the fog was no longer so thick. As Mo Wuji saw a part of the wilderness with low scrubs, he shouted with excitement, "Bu''Er, I am over here." He finally made it out. After a short while, five silhouettes appeared from behind the low hills. "Wuji, you are fine. I am so glad... But how did you end up in this state?" Ding Bu''Er never expected Mo Wuji to still be alive having spent the night in the forest. Mo Wuji''s hair was burnt, half his body was filled with black scars and one of his shoulders was supported by a piece of cloth to his neck. "Bu''Er, thank you so much. I was lost inside and almost gave up until I heard your voice," Mo Wuji kept on thanking Bu''Er without explaining why he was so burnt. Ding Bu''Er quickly explained, "I was just trying my luck with little miss by calling your name. I did not expect to find you here. Now, we are only left with six out of the twelve that we came here with." Mo Wuji hurried to thank them again, "Thank you little miss for your concern, if not I would never have been able to make it out alive." Han Ning looked exhausted and battered in her tattered red shirt. She shook Mo Wuji¡¯s hand as he thanked her, "To have survived the night, it is truly a miracle. We found all six bodies that we lost yesterday except for yours. Therefore, Ding Bu''Er wanted to continue looking for you and fortunately we did." Mo Wuji saw Han Ning, her maid Shao Lan, Peng Maohua and the one who was looking after the horses, Cai Jiu. Including Ding Bu''Er and himself, there was indeed a total of six people left. At this moment, all eyes were on Han Ning. She was the little miss of the Han Residence. Hence she had to be the one to make a decision now. Han Ning said apologetically, "I did not expect us to encounter the Heart Drilling Snakes, even at the outskirts of the forest. Such bad luck signifies that I am not meant to find the Two-leaved Fire Grass." Peng Maohua asked with caution, "Little miss, shall we go back now?" Han Ning''s eyes fell on Peng Maohua for a while before sighing; she said, "I have to find the Two-leaved Fire Grass no matter what and I can only find it here. I did not expect it to be so dangerous but I will give all of you a choice now. Those who are willing can stay with me to find the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Those who are not can head back first. It is entirely up to you." Chapter 28: At Your Doorstep Chapter 28: At Your Doorstep Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Peng Maohua''s heart sank when he realised that he had to stay back with little miss as the chief guard of the Han Residence. Meanwhile, Mo Wuji took out two of the Two-leaved Fire Grass and said, "It looks like we don¡¯t have to extend our stay here at the Thunder Fog Forest. I was fortunate enough to find two of these." "This really is the Two-leaved Fire Grass..." Han Ning took a step forward, and before Mo Wuji could react, she grabbed both of the Two-leaved Fire Grass from his hands. Mo Wuji subconsciously took a step back as he was amazed at how powerful this woman was. This was indeed the stage of channel opening. "Mo Wuji, it does not matter where you found the Two-leaved Fire Grass. You have made a huge contribution. To reward you, I will bring you along for this trip to the Royal Capital. If you have any more requests, please let me know," Han Ning was so excited she said everything in one breath. "Thank you little miss," Mo Wuji hurried to thank Han Ning. His sole purpose of entering the Han Residence was to go to the Royal Capital. He would not let this opportunity go to waste. Han Ning shook his hand, "I should be the one thanking you for helping me find the Two-leaved Fire Grass. I''ve heard from my father that you have enough money for yourself. If you have any other requests other than going to the Royal Capital, I will do my best to fulfil it." Mo Wuji nodded his head. If he did not manage to open his meridian successfully, he would have asked Han Ning to find him a more renowned place in the Royal Capital to test for his spiritual roots. He was desperate to know if he possessed a spiritual root after this incident. Even though Peng Maohua was envious of Mo Wuji''s luck in finding the Two-leaved Fire Grass and being able to please the little miss, he was still grateful for Mo Wuji. If not for him, they would have needed to stay in the Thunder Fog Forest to continue searching for it. That would be asking for more trouble. Thanks to the Two-leaved Fire Grass, Han Ning¡¯s mood changed drastically. She waved her hand and said, "Let us head back now. I was still planning to stay here for over a month. Who would have expected us to find it just after one night." Mo Wuji sighed when he saw how Han Ning was only concerned about finding the Two-leaved Fire Grass and not about the deceased guards. Their lives were worth much less than the Two-leaved Fire Grass. If he were to die here, Han Ning would not have bothered much either. He looked over to Ding Bu''Er and realised that if it was not for Ding Bu''Er''s request to look for him, Han Ning probably would not have went to look for him. "Congratulations, Wuji," Ding Bu''Er congratulated Mo Wuji with a lot of envy. Mo Wuji shook his hand and said to Han Ning," Little miss, I heard from others that you are at Channel Opening Stage Level Five?¡± Han Ning replied, ¡°Do you think Channel Opening Stage Level Five is easy to achieve? I am only at level one. Currently, only my speed is slightly faster. My abilities are still weaker than many cultivators out there. There will only be a drastic change in strength and ability after Channel Opening Stage Level Four.¡± Mo Wuji glared at the embarrassed Ding Bu''Er. Mo Wuji became even more eager to cultivate after he witnessed Han Ning¡¯s speed despite being only at level one. He clenched his fist and said to Han Ning, "When I visit the Royal Capital, can I bring Ding Bu''Er along too?" "All right, we will do as you say. Let¡¯s go," Han Ning agreed without any hesitation. She then got on her red horse and started moving off. "Thank you so much Wuji," Ding Bu''Er was surprised as he never expected Mo Wuji to mention to Han Ning to bring him along. This was indeed a golden opportunity. As for the time that he bragged about Han Ning in front of Mo Wuji previously, he had completely forgotten about it. Mo Wuji patted Ding Bu''Er''s shoulder and said, "Let¡¯s go back, I still owe you a lot too. Also, please don''t brag in front of me in future." "Roger that!" Ding Bu''Er felt elated as he followed behind Mo Wuji as they headed back. ... Mo Wuji did not know why Han Ning wanted the Two-leaved Fire Grass so badly and he was not interested in knowing why. What he knew was that he was given even more attention when he returned. Even his place of accommodation changed to one with a small courtyard. His job was to guard the yard but there was really nothing to do. The only pity was that he did not know how to cultivate. If he could practice cultivation here, it would have been perfect. It was very safe to stay in the Han Residence. As he sat down in his yard, Mo Wuji held two green coloured glass bottles. He needed the solution inside the glass bottles if he wanted to open up more meridians in the future. "Ding dong..." The bell from the entrance rang followed by Han Chengan''s voice, "Wuji, can I have a word with you?" Mo Wuji hurried to put away the two bottles and went over to open the door. Mo Wuji could not understand why the owner of the Han Residence, Han Chengan, would come over personally to find him. "Duke Han, if you wanted to find me you could have just called for me. You need not make the trip all the way here," Mo Wuji said as he opened the door. Han Chengan smiled as he entered Mo Wuji''s house and found a chair to sit on. Mo Wuji made a cup of tea for Han Chengan as he was still very grateful for him. If not for this Old Duke, he would have never had the chance to come here. Who knows if the same person who tried to poison him will do it again if he had not moved into Han Residence? Han Chengan smiled and nodded, "Wuji, do you know why I did not pay much attention to you after I arranged for you to move in?" Mo Wuji said respectfully, "Bringing me into the Han Residence is your greatest care for me." Han Chengan sighed, "The last time I saved your life in the Royal hall and now you¡¯ve repaid me by helping Ning''Er. I am indeed grateful to you." Mo Wuji gave Han Chengan a puzzled look. Han Chengan only gave him a job previously, since when did he save his life? Han Chengan continued as though he could read Mo Wuji''s mind, "Before you were summoned to the hall, the Lord did not want to see you. He ordered the guards to kill you. I stopped him as I was quite close with your grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, coupled with the fact that I wanted to see if your move was intentional or as you mentioned: for the commoners." Mo Wuji knew what Han Chengan meant by ''your move''. Han Chengan was referring to his release of the penicillin formula. He would have never imagined that the Lord had such dangerous thoughts before he had entered the hall. Han Chengan did not take Mo Wuji''s reaction to heart and continued, "I advised the Lord against killing you because it would harm his reputation, especially after you contributed so much to the commoners. This is also true because you worked hard for it. In addition, I had some thoughts about sparing your life, if not I wouldn¡¯t have brought you into the Han Residence." Mo Wuji''s back kept letting out cold sweat as he was fearful. If Han Chengan had not stepped out to plead for him previously, he would have been sentenced to death by the despicable Lord. Wouldn''t it have been an innocent death? He did not care about whether the despicable Lord''s reputation was harmed. He only cared about his own life. "Thank you Old Duke, for saving my life," Mo Wuji stood up and bowed to Han Chengan. Han Chengan quickly grabbed onto Mo Wuji and laughed," If you had not gotten Ning''Er''s attention, you would be like any other guard here. I would not have stepped out to ask Ning''Er to bring you to the Royal Capital. However, not only did you catch her attention, you even helped her solve her big problem. This shows that a capable man will always stand out and i was right about you." "Old Duke, you are too kind with your compliments." All Mo Wuji desperately wanted was to leave Cheng Yu State. Who knows when the despicable Lord might change his mind and kill him? This despicable Lord was part of the reason why the Mo Clan lost the throne back then. Han Chengan¡¯s face suddenly turned solemn and he said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I am actually here to ask for your help." Chapter 29: Cautiousness Chapter 29: Cautiousness Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Old Duke, please speak. As long as it is within my means, I will not refuse," Mo Wuji said while he cupped his fists. Mo Wuji was sure that Han Chengan would not lie about such matters. If he said that he had saved Mo Wuji, then he probably did. This kind act of saving Mo Wuji might have been simple, but it was the greatest favour anyone could have done for him. Han Chengan was pleased with Mo Wuji''s words, "Wuji, your words have put me at ease. In a little more than a month, many sects will go to the Xing Han Empire¡¯s Royal Capital, Chang Luo, for the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. You have interacted with Han Ning before, and you know how she is like. She is extremely simplistic, and she is not as mature as how she acts. You managed to preserve your life after the whole Nine Lives Healing solution fiasco, so your ability to handle situations definitely surpasses hers. I would like for you to stay by Han Ning''s side. Before she enters any sect, I hope that you can take care of her." Mo Wuji solemnly promised, "Old Duke, please be at ease. As long as I have the ability, I will try my best to support Miss Han Ning." Han Chengan retrieved a jade hairpin from his pocket and passed it to Mo Wuji, "If you truly find yourself in an inextricable situation, you can bring this jade hairpin to the Yue Residence in Chang Luo and find Yue Qiongying." "Why doesn''t the Old Duke pass the jade hairpin directly to Miss Han Ning?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Han Chengan simply shaked his head, and did not answer Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was not a person who pries into other''s secrets. Seeing that Han Chengan had no intention of answering him, he carefully kept the jade hairpin. Han Chengan got more satisfied with Mo Wuji''s attitude. Sipping some tea, he said, " I heard that you like tea. Later, I will get some people to send you some good tea leaves." Mo Wuji laughed, "Then I will be especially grateful to the Old Duke. Also, because I haven¡¯t really seen much of the world, there are some things which I wish to ask the Old Duke." A bit of tea did not mean much to someone like the Old Duke, so Mo Wuji did not decline the gesture. "Haha...If you have any questions, just ask,¡± Han Chengan replied. "I heard that our Xing Han Empire isn''t the only empire. Are there really other empires?" Mo Wuji always wanted to know this, but there was never a suitable person he could ask. Han Chengan was well informed, and he was a Prefecture Duke. He should know more about such matters. Han Chengan answered, "From what I know, there are five big empires: the Tian Shang Empire, the Zi Zhou Empire, the Gan Yang Empire, the Xing Han Empire and the Ming Han Empire. These five empires are protected by five big sects. The sect protecting the Xing Han Empire is the Heavenly Temple. In the coming Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference, masters from the Heavenly Temple will also be going to Chang Luo. I do not wish much for Han Ning. If she can enter an Earth level sect, I will be very satisfied." "Old Duke, what is an Earth-level sect? Also, is the Heavenly Temple the most powerful sect in Xing Han Empire?" Mo Wuji had never heard of these things before, and asked hurriedly. "It''s normal that you don''t know about these matters. Many people don''t know about them. After all, we are just mere mortals. The sects in the five big empires are classified under three levels. The lowest are Xuan level sects. Above them, are the Earth level sects. In the Xing Han Empire, the strongest sect is in the quasi-sky level, and that is the Heavenly Temple. Han Chengan spoke with a trace of longing. Even as a Prefecture Duke, he could only look up towards these sects. Mo Wuji continued to ask, "Since there are quasi-sky level sects, then there must be Sky level sects? Why didn''t the Duke mention them?" Han Chengan shaked his head, "I''m also not sure about this. Previously, I was also really curious about this. From what I know, it''s not just the Xing Han Empire which doesn''t have a Sky level sect. The strongest sects in the other empires are also at the quasi-sky level." "Is the Heavenly Temple the only quasi-level sect in the Xing Han Empire?" "It shouldn''t be. I once overheard someone saying that there is another quasi-sky level sect in the Xing Han Empire. But I''m just a Prefecture Duke, and I don''t really know much about this." Mo Wuji and Han Chengan continued to chat for a few hours. By the time he sent Han Chengan off, Mo Wuji had a rough outline of the five empires. After talking casually to Mo Wuji for half a day, Han Chengan felt more at ease with Mo Wuji. During those few hours, Mo Wuji did not ask anything about the Northern Qin Prefecture. Thus, he could tell that Mo Wuji was not a rash person. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not ask Han Chengan about who stole his Northern Qin Prefecture. Nor would he ask about how Mo Tiancheng disappeared and why Mo Guangyuan failed to succeed the Northern Qin Prefecture throne. This was not because Mo Wuji had a carefree personality and did not care about such matters. But rather, it was because this matter involved the Cheng Yu State Lord, Situ Qian. Situ Qian might have even acted in the dark against the Mo Clan. Han Chengan''s words to save him wasn''t actually worth much. Even though Mo Wuji would remember this act of kindness, he would not treat Han Chengan as someone he would trust. He was sure that, even if he had helped Han Ning, if Han Chengan had to choose between Situ Qian and himself, Han Chengan would unhesitantly choose Situ Qian. Who knew whether his words would be relayed to Situ Qian by Han Chengan? Previously, Situ Qian did not kill Mo Wuji for the sake of maintaining his own reputation. But that did not mean that Situ Qian would not kill him in the future. If Situ Qian wanted to, he could casually come out with any reason to kill Mo Wuji. Thus, Mo Wuji could not even cause the slightest of waves. Additionally, if Mo Wuji wanted to know who tried to poison him, he could simply wait to see who ended up as the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord. Why would he ask something that he would eventually know? ¡­ Mo Wuji did not see Han Ning ever since they went to the Thunder Fog Forest to find the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Mo Wuji was anxiously bored, so he went to Rao Zhou City to buy a machine. He got Ding Bu''Er to help him purchase some medicinal ingredients, and he went back to his life concocting the channel opening solution. After a month, Mo Wuji concocted 30 full bottles of the solution. Mo Wuji was worried that the person who previously acted against him would do so again. Thus, he stopped his production as carrying too many bottles of the solution with him would be inconvenient. The days passed quickly, and soon it was about time to leave Rao Zhou City. Ding Bu''Er came to visit, "Wuji, you''ll leave Rao Zhou in two days. Do you want to buy anything?" Because of the incident at the Thunder Fog Forest, Ding Bu''Er became Mo Wuji''s best friend in the Han Residence. "There''s no need. I will just bring along my gold coins." Mo Wuji did not have any intention of leaving the Han Residence. Because of his relations to the Mo Family and the Northern Qin Prefecture, someone tried to poison him, and he even ended up on Situ Qian''s blacklist. Thus, he did not want anyone to remember that the Northern Qin''s Mo Family still had this Mo Wuji. It was best for him to quietly leave Rao Zhou; the dangerous capital of Cheng Yu State. "Aren''t you afraid of being bored? I can help you get anything you want." Ding Bu''Er was used to seeing Mo Wuji bored in his yard. "There''s no need. Just call me when it''s time to leave." Mo Wuji waved his hand. He had prepared all that was needed to be prepared. Bringing too many things would only make it inconvenient. On the dawn two days later, Ding Bu''Er punctually went to Mo Wuji''s living quarters, and told him that the little miss was already set and ready to leave. Chapter 30: Leaving Rao Zhou Chapter 30: Leaving Rao Zhou Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The gates of the Han Residence opened; close to a hundred people escorted Han Ning out of the house. The elderly Han couple stood by Han Ning''s side, nagging at her. Clearly, this long trip made them anxious for their daughter. Over the past two months, Mo Wuji was constantly afraid that he might be assassinated, so he hid himself in his small yard. As a result, he wasn''t clear about how many people would be following Han Ning to the Royal Capital. Seeing close to a hundred people walking out, he was shocked and immediately asked Ding Bu''Er, "Bu''Er, there will be so many people following Miss Han Ning to Chang Luo?" Ding Bu''Er laughed, and whispered in Mo Wuji''s ear, "Besides the little miss, only four of us will be going to Chang Luo City. Because of you, I managed to jump on this bandwagon. The other two are Peng Maohua and Shao Lan." "So little?'' Mo Wuji started to feel uneasy. It would be hard to stay safe if there were so few people. "I heard that the Old Duke wanted to find 20 people to follow the little miss. But according to the royal decree, each participant of the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference can only bring up to four followers," Ding Bu''Er explained. As the whole crowd of people walked to the exit of Rao Zhou, Mo Wuji finally understood why there was a limit to the number of people. There was a huge crowd at the exit of Rao Zhou City; many people were saying their goodbyes. Ostensibly, Han Ning wasn''t the only one participating in the Spring Immortal''s Gate from Rao Zhou. From what Mo Wuji could see, there were around 20 to 30 people. If you included the followers, there would be more than a hundred people. Furthermore, this was just from one state. There were other states in Xing Han Empire. If you added them all up, how many people would that be? Initially, Han Chengan said that the Cheng Yu State could send ten participants, and this did not include the participants from prefectures. Some of the people started to form groups. After bidding farewell to their families, they departed on their beast carriages. Mo Wuji saw Han Chengan at the back, negotiating with a few people. After some time, Peng Maohua came over to Mo Wuji and Ding Bu''Er and said, "Our Han Residence will be travelling with the Wu Xue Prefecture Prince, Cao Hao. There''s also Marquis Ji''s grandson, Ji Changhe, as well as the only son of Wan Pu Corporation Regional Branch chairperson, Yang Junsong. You need to remember, none of these people must be offended. Try not to be rash when you''re with them." Ding Bu''Er patted his chest, "Don''t worry, Chief Guard Peng. I''m not one who finds trouble. Since we''re all in the same group, we can be considered comrades. Naturally, we will have to work together." Peng Maohua nodded his head. He only wanted to give him a gentle reminder. Ding Bu''Er knew how to behave, so he would not mess around. At the same time, Mo Wuji wasn''t arrogant like how people had described him to be. Besides the incident where he was late for the gathering, he rarely even left his own yard. How is he a trouble maker? At this moment, Han Ning finished saying her goodbyes and called Mo Wuji and Co. to board the carriage. What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that Han Chengan did not call for him at all. "Come, get on the carriage. Let''s go." Ding Bu''Er pulled Mo Wuji along. At that moment, Mo Wuji felt goosebumps all over his body. He turned his head and looked around; it felt as if someone had suddenly disappeared from the crowd. He didn¡¯t know whether someone was here to deal with him. How could he not feel uncomfortable? Mo Wuji did not dare to stay any longer so he rushed to board the Han Clan¡¯s beast carriage. The carriage had two compartments. Han Ning and Shao Lan were in the inner compartment while the other three were in the outer compartment. These two compartments weren''t considered small. It wasn''t squeezy with the five of them inside the carriage. As the carriage driver shouted "He!", the beast carriage started to move. The carriages from the three other families departed as well. Mo Wuji understood a little about these beast carriages. It was like a horse carriage, just that the beasts pulling it had more stamina, defense and strength. Still, the beast carriage could not compare to the speed of a car. On the streets of Cheng Yu State, there were automobiles similar to cars and buses. Unfortunately, these automobiles could only be used within Cheng Yu State. There weren''t any roads for them to drive on outside of Cheng Yu State. The primary reason for this was that the people in this world did not value technology. It could also be due to the poor relations between countries. With the constant wars between states, it would have been really difficult for states to send out their diplomats to negotiate the construction of an interstate road. On the other hand, the people here valued herbs and minerals, and thus found innovative ways to improve herb drafting and mineral excavating. ... The roads just outside of Rao Zhou were still spacious and smooth. But as they travelled further out, the roads were uneven and bumpy. At least the beast carriage''s ability to absorb shock was not bad. Along the way, they met many other beast carriages heading towards the Royal Capital. Mo Wuji discovered that unless they met acquaintances, many people simply cared about their own journey. Even within four families in Mo Wuji''s group, the four main participants would only interact during meal time. Most of the time, they would not interact with one another. After a month, the group stopped by a boundless sea. When Mo Wuji and Co. arrived, there were already mountains of people there. Mo Wuji looked around; the number of people were in the ten thousands. All kinds of beast carriages stopped there. There were even some flying beasts. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to ask whether the flying beasts were used for carriages, he saw a huge flying beast gliding over from afar, landing on an empty space. Even though Mo Wuji was tens of meters away, he could feel the wind generated by the beast''s flapping wings. On the flying beast''s back, there was a huge circular tent. As the beast landed, the tent opened and a few people came out of it. Indeed, the flying beasts were used for beast carriages, and they were much more convenient than beasts who could only travel on land. Even airplanes would not be as convenient as these flying beasts. No wonder why the people here did not care much for machines. With these flying beasts, who would even bother about building airplanes? "Damn, when will Cheng Yu State have flying beasts? If we had them, then we wouldn''t have taken such a long time to get here," Mo Wuji heard someone cursing from afar. He did not need to turn his head to know who that someone was. Naturally, it was the Wu Xue Prefecture Prince, Cao Hao. That guy had a horrible temper. Whenever he wasn¡¯t pleased, he would start shouting and scolding loudly. There was one instance where he even argued with another prefecture''s prince when his beast carriage got overtaken. "Bu''Er, is a flying beast carriage expensive? Why doesn''t Cheng Yu State have any?" Mo Wuji whispered to Ding Bu''Er. He thought that no matter how expensive these flying beasts were, shouldn''t Cheng Yu State still be able to afford some? Ding Bu''Er laughed, "This is not a matter of price, but identity. It is not easy to buy such beast carriages, and you can''t just buy them with money. From what I heard, there is a sect which specialises in rearing these flying beasts. I think its name is..." "Don''t talk too much. Go to the inn and rest. We''ll be staying here to wait for the boat," Han Ning interrupted Ding Bu''Er. Cao Hao swept his eyes across Mo Wuji and said disdainfully, "Sister Ning, your cultivating ability is not bad. But your judgement is really lacking. How could you pick such a trash, who doesn''t know anything, to follow you to Chang Luo? Haha..." Naturally, he heard Mo Wuji''s questions. At the same time, throughout the trip, Mo Wuji never saluted him, which put him in a very bad mood. With his status, Mo Wuji should have been kneeling down and licking his boots every time they met. Han Ning''s face sank, but she did not refute him. Seeing that Han Ning did not dare refute him, he got more arrogant, "Sister Ning, our parents have arranged us to be in the same group. Naturally, we wouldn''t wish for our group to have such weaklings. In all honesty, I am quite worried for myself. These past two months have been the most dangerous periods of my life." He did not do anything to this fellow, yet he was called trash? Naturally, Mo Wuji wasn''t happy. A Prefecture Prince could only count as a fart. On Earth, Mo Wuji was a world renowned biologist and botanist. Which people in power did not want to curry his favour? Mo Wuji laughed and warmly said to Cao Hao, "I think you shouldn''t be too worried. Even a piece of shit will meet a dung beetle. You don''t have to be too anxious. Even if you do not get into any sect during the Spring Immortal''s Gate, there will still be someone who accepts you." Chapter 31: The Change In Mo Wuji Chapter 31: The Change In Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "You''re looking for death..." Cao Hao grabbed the sword hung on his waist. "Little Prince, please do not be too rash or you may land all of us in trouble," Yang Junsong quickly stepped forward to stop Cao Hao. Among these four group mates from Cheng Yu State, Yang Junsong was the most sociable one. He was always smiling, and he did not put on airs even towards a house attendant like Mo Wuji. Feng Cheng Marquisate¡¯s heir, Ji Changhe also stepped forward and advised Cao Hao. This was a place where geniuses across Xing Han Empire gathered in their journey to Chang Luo. Causing a ruckus here would get one punished. A light punishment would be the stripping of participation rights and being sent back home. On the other hand, a punishment could even be as heavy as a direct execution! It didn''t matter whether one was a prefecture prince, one could still be executed. A genius from Cheng Yu State was nothing in this large Xing Han Empire. Cao Hao snorted and stared fiercely at Mo Wuji. Then, he turned and walked towards the inn. From the looks of things, Cao Hao probably would not act against Mo Wuji. "Mo Wuji, just because you helped the little miss doesn''t mean you can do whatever you want. If you act like this again, we''ll immediately send you back to Cheng Yu State," Shao Lan said while giving Mo Wuji an unsatisfied glare. Han Ning''s face was also unsightly. Even though she did not say anything, it was clear that she agreed with Shao Lan''s words. Mo Wuji smiled and did not care. When he gave Han Ning the Two-leaved Fire Grass, she was extremely grateful to him. However, as time passed, her gratitude tapered down. This was the reason why Mo Wuji was unwilling to be friends with people from big families. They were used to being in a high position overlooking the rest of the world. As a result, they acted arrogantly and did not treat others as their equal. They would only greet you with a smile if you gave them benefits. Once the benefits were gone, that smile would disappear as well. They would definitely not remember what you had done for them. This trip to the royal capital was Han Ning''s reward to Mo Wuji for his meritorious service. If he committed a mistake, she would simply take away this reward and even punish him. This was not a relationship between friends, but a superior-inferior relationship. Mo Wuji came from Earth so he would not accept being the inferior within a relationship. Sooner or later, he would separate from Han Ning. Before that happened, he would dedicate his efforts for her. Han Chengan''s saving grace might have been unintentional and he might not have expected any returns, but Mo Wuji would definitely return the favour. "Why don''t we all settle down. We still have to stay here for the next three days," Han Ning said as she followed Cao Hao and co. into one of the inns. "Wait..." After Han Ning and Shao Lan entered the inn, Mo Wuji and the other two were stopped. "He [1], what is the meaning of this?" Peng Maohua''s face turned ugly when he was stopped. Mo Wuji recognised the man blocking their way. He was He Feng, one of Cao Hao''s attendants. Han Ning did not stay silent and questioned Cao Hao, "Cao Hao, what''s the meaning of this?" Before Cao Hao could speak, an attendant from the inn came out and said apologetically, "Dear customers, we are really sorry but our Yue Hai Inn does not have enough rooms. Your group of five only gets one room so these three attendants would have to stay outside or in our warehouse." Han Ning''s gaze landed on Yang Junsong, "Yan Junsong, you''re in charge of booking the rooms. Why is it that my house attendants do not get a room while the others do?" Cao Hao said loudly, "Ah, there is no other way. We arranged the rooms on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can''t expect my attendants to sleep outside even though they came first right?" Yang Junsong''s face looked rather awkward as he embarrassedly asked Cao Hao, "Prince, we are all part of the same team. Why don''t you allow them to squeeze with your attendants?" Cao Hao thought for a long time before saying reluctantly, "How about this... I will get my guys to squeeze. But there''s only enough space for two people. That, that who... Aren''t you very strong and brave? You can stay outside then." Everyone knew that Cao Hao was specifically targeting Mo Wuji. Han Ning was a favoured genius, and could be considered a Channel Opening Stage cultivator. Even though she did not like that Mo Wuji offended Cao Hao, she did not remain silent, "Cao Hao, are you sure you want to do this?" Everyone could feel that Han Ning was on the verge of exploding. Only Cao Hao seemingly did not feel it as he continued to say calmly, "Sister Ning, our families have a very deep relationship. Otherwise I would not have brought you to find Immortal Master Lu. I care for you and I do not wish for you to cause a fission in our cooperation just because of one person." After hearing Cao Hao''s words, Han Ning calmed down like a deflated balloon. Her fiery rage was extinguished as she remained silent. In just a few seconds, she turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Wuji, it''s going to be tough on you. Just erect a tent outside and stay outside." She did not say another word as she turned and left. Mo Wuji smiled and he did not care. On the way to the royal capital, he would try his best to help Han Ning. Once they reached the capital, he would no longer have anything to do with her. "Wuji, wait... I will accompany you." Ding Bu''Er hastily said. He also turned to Han Ning and said, "Little miss, I will accompany Wuji." "Do whatever you want," Han Ning coldly threw out that sentence and hurried into the inn. Mao Penghua hesitated but he chose to enter the inn with Han Ning and co. After leaving the inn, Mo Wuji patted Ding Bu''Er''s shoulder, "Bu''Er, you have a nice comfortable room. Why do you want to follow me and sleep in a tent?" Bu''Er laughed, "Wuji, do you know why I''m even able to join this trip? Isn''t it because of you? I''m very sure that, after we get to the royal capital, and if the little miss gets selected by a sect, there''ll be nothing left for me. Previously, in the Thunder Fog Forest, I believe that you did not find the Two-leaved Fire Grass by luck. Since I can''t follow the little miss, I can only follow you. Don''t ask me to go back to Cheng Yu because I know a certain someone will not go back as well." "Bu''Er, I can see that you''ll have a promising future now that you''ve chosen to follow me," Mo Wuji joked. "Mo Xinghe..." A clear, crisp voice interrupted his conversation with Ding Bu''Er. "Oh, it''s Miss Wen. How fortunate to see you here. You''re as elegant as always. But can I ask Miss Wen not to call me by my previous name? I have already changed it to Mo Wuji." After leaving Rao Zhou City, Mo Wuji felt like shackles had been removed from him. He no longer had to be worried or afraid about his words and actions. He did not expect that Wen Manzhu would also go to the royal capital. Like Han Ning, she should be a participant of the Spring Immortal''s Gate. "Ah.. Wuji, it''s getting late. I should set up the tent before all the good spots get taken away. Enjoy your conversation ah." Ding Bu''Er saw Mo Wuji and Wen Manzhu talking so he found an excuse to leave. He knew about Mo Wuji''s situation and that things were awkward between Mo Wuji and Wen Manzhu. "Sorry, it slipped my mind," Wen Manzhu said apologetically. She had many doubts in her heart. She was sure she understood Mo Wuji more than anybody else, but in the two recent times that she had met Mo Wuji, she felt like she no longer knew him. She could see that Mo Wuji had changed drastically. In the Cheng Yu Worker''s Union, Mo Wuji felt foreign to her, like a knife covered with flour. Now, Mo Wuji was like a knife hidden in a scabbard. "Wuji... Can we talk?" Wen Manzhu said. In fact, she had wanted to speak with Mo Wuji for a long time. Ever since Mo Wuji came up the Nine Lives Healing Solution, he nestled in a Prefecture Duke''s residence and never came out. She tried to find ways to meet him but she was unsuccessful. She even heard from her father that Mo Wuji gave the Nine Lives Healing Solution formula away to protect himself. She found it hard to understand. Why was it that there were such huge changes every since Mo Xinghe changed his name? Mo Wuji laughed nonchalantly, "If the senior beside you doesn''t mind, we can talk for as long as you want ah." [1] ¡®He¡¯ is a surname in this situation. Chapter 32: Different Principles Chapter 32: Different Principles Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: By Wen Manzhu''s side, was a very handsome man. As they stood beside one another, they definitely gave off the impression of a golden couple. From his temperament, he''s clearly not one of Wen Manzhu''s attendants. Wen Manzhu calmly said, "This is the Ninth Prince of the Cheng Yu State, Situ Po. We are in the same group." So it''s the son of that old fella, Situ Qian. Because of his relationship with Situ Qian, Mo Wuji did not have a good impression of Situ Po. Situ Po gracefully cupped his fists and greeted Mo Wuji, "I''ve long heard about Drug Refiner Mo¡¯s illustrious name. Now that I get to see you in person, I can tell that you are indeed a dragon or a phoenix among men." Mo Wuji laughed, "Ninth Prince, I don''t think you''re using these words properly. Situ Po was slightly startled. According to a normal script, when a prince like him respectfully greets Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji should have been rushing to return the courtesy. At the very least, Mo Wuji shouldn''t have spoken in such a manner, right? "Oh, may I ask Drug Refiner Mo to shed some light on my mistake?" Situ Po maintained his grace as he spoke to Mo Wuji with a gentle smile. Wen Manzhu was also surprised at Mo Wuji''s words. She did not understand why Mo Wuji would offend the Ninth Prince for no apparent reason. Mo Wuji laughed in his heart. Other people may kowtow to the Situ Clan, but in Mo Wuji''s eyes, the SItu Clan was an enemy he would eventually deal with. Mo Wuji was sure that the Situ Qian definitely had a part to play in the fall of the Mo Clan. Since they''re enemies, why was there a need to feign civilities? Furthermore, seeing Wen Manzhu and Situ Po standing beside one another, just like Romeo and Juliet, had put Mo Wuji in a bad mood. This was especially so when Mo Wuji saw the girl acting skittishly around this guy from the Situ Clan. "Ninth Prince... Firstly, I am not a drug refiner. Everyone knows that the Nine Lives Healing Solution was passed down by my ancestors. You act like you''re flattering me but you''re simply mocking me. Secondly, I''m a man, so you shouldn''t have called me a phoenix. Thirdly, only lords and kings can be called dragons. If I was a dragon, then I will be the Cheng Yu State Lord. Aren''t your words rather outrageous? I do not believe that the Ninth Prince actually wants me to be the Cheng Yu State Lord." Mo Wuji simply said what he wanted and he completely forgot that the phoenix was actually male. Wen Manzhu pouted her lips but did not speak. She did not refute the flaws in Mo Wuji''s logic. Situ Po''s face turned ugly as he wondered why his father did not kill this wretch. Unfortunately, he could only think about it in his head as he was not in the position to actually kill Mo Wuji. "Oh right... Ninth Prince, you''re actually very similar to this person I know," When Mo Wuji saw Situ Po''s previously graceful face turn ugly, he felt really happy in his heart and he said smilingly. Situ Po frowned and he did not think Mo Wuji would have anything nice to say. Wen Manzhu also frowned. Mo Wuji seemed to be more and more foreign to her. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "He goes by the nickname: "The Sly Gentleman", earning this name by behaving like a gentleman while being very good at cheap tricks. [1] He is actually a faction head in a sect which practises the ancient Zixia secret arts." The Ninth Prince intended to walk away but Mo Wuji''s words stopped him. He asked curiously, "Drug Refiner Mo, you actually know of such an expert? Also, what kind of immortal law is the Zixia secret arts? Is it a peerless sword art? [1]" The Ninth Prince was a participant in the Spring Immortal''s Gate. Naturally, he got really excited when he heard that Mo Wuji was acquainted with such a martial expert and he forgot about his previous unhappiness. He did not doubt Mo Wuji''s words as Mo Wuji''s grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, was also a powerful cultivator. It was very natural for Mo Wuji to meet such powerful figures. Mo Wuji sighed and said, " ''The Sly Gentleman'' is actually called Yue Buqun. The moment I saw the Ninth Prince, I felt that there was an uncanny resemblance between you two. I don''t really know much about the Zixia secret arts. But I do know that the gentleman was a very powerful cultivator. After having great successes in the Zixia secret arts, he bravely burned his foundations in it to develop a new cheap trick. Unfortunately, I''m not as brave and persistent as him.¡± Situ Po humbled himself and bowed to Mo Wuji, "May I ask what''s the name of this precious law?" Mo Wuji looked at Situ Po with a look of ¡®shock¡¯, "The Ninth Prince is really amazing. I did not say anything but you could deduce that the gentleman developed a precious law. Yes, it''s called the Sunflower Law. What a pity, the gentleman is no longer here. If he was still alive, he would definitely impart the Sunflower Law to the Ninth Prince because..." At this point, Mo Wuji paused. It wasn''t just the Ninth Prince, but even Wen Manzhu held her breath and looked expectantly at Mo Wuji, curious to know what he wanted to say next. After a few seconds, Mo Wuji continued, "Because you two are the same class of people. Ai... What a pity. Unfortunately, I''m not that interested in learning such laws. There were eight words on his manual, but I could only remember six. However, I do not have any regrets because I''m simply a mortal with mortal roots. This precious law is not suitable for a mortal like me. I have many emotions and desires. How can I be a cultivator and detach myself from the mortal life..." "What are the six words..." Situ Po blurted out. Mo Wuji looked at Situ Po seriously and said, "While pursuing cultivation, one must first... I only remember these six words. That''s all, I''m leaving." Mo Wuji turned to Wen Manzhu and said, "Miss Wen, I suddenly lost all interest in talking to you. I have too much pressure standing around you. Goodbye." Seeing Mo Wuji''s disappearing back, Situ Po''s face displayed various emotions. After a while, he said to Wen Manzhu, "Manzhu, this Brother Mo sure is carefree. He doesn''t get dejected despite having mortal roots. When I first found out that my spiritual roots weren''t at a high grade, I felt extremely upset. Perhaps you should continue talking with him. After all, you two are old friends. I will go to the inn first." ... "Wuji, why did you come back so fast?" Seeing Mo Wuji return, Ding Bu''Er smiled and asked. "There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles," Mo Wuji faintly replied and he began to help build the tent. There were too many people heading to Chang Luo. Many other attendants were also staying in tents by the beach. "Brother! I like your words!" A hearty voice sounded. It belonged to a big, grizzly man who had a huge beard which covered his face. Behind him, was a charming, young woman. If Wen Manzhu was an unripe green apple, this young woman was an attractive ripe, red apple. If not for the dust around her clothes, she would have appeared to be from nobility. The bearded man cupped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "My name is Yuan Zhenyi. This is my companion, Aunt Eleven. Your words just now, were really deep. I have some good wine with me, if you do not mind, how about we each have a cup?" Mo Wuji laughed, "Of course I won''t mind. My name is Mo Wuji and my companion here is Ding Bu''Er. We have finished building our tent, please come in." [1] The Hanyu Pinyin for cheap tricks is Jian Fa, which is also pronounced in the same way as sword arts. Chapter 33: Drinking among Friends Chapter 33: Drinking among Friends Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Yuan Zhenyi wasn''t bragging, the wine he brought was really good; mellow tasting with a long aftertaste. What made it even more amazing was its faint, tipsy feeling which circulated around the body. Mo Wuji could even feel his opened meridian being stimulated. "This really is good wine! One mouthful, and I can feel my whole body being invigorated," Mo Wuji praised. He could guess that there were some spiritual ingredients within the wine. Otherwise, he would not have felt such comfort. Hearing Mo Wuji praise his wine, Yuan Zhenyi proudly said, "Brother Mo really knows his wines. I am from the Chang Yan State and there was once I stumbled into the Thunder Fog Forest. I did not expect it to be a blessing in disguise as I actually obtained a spirit fruit. I used that fruit to brew ten jars of wine, this is my last pot. But this is a large pot, Ha ha ha ..." Mo Wuji could tell that Yuan Zhenyi was a very generous and carefree person. This cup of wine brewed using a spiritual fruit must have an amazing value. Many people would not even be able to buy it, but Yuan Zhenyi readily took it out just because he liked Mo Wuji''s words. "I''m really ashamed. We only met each other by chance but I drank Brother Yuan''s good wine," Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that Chang Yan State and Cheng Yu State were currently at war. But it didn''t matter to Mo Wuji. Afterall, he did not have any sense of attachment to Cheng Yu State. Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "Brother Mo, you''re treating me like a stranger! When I heard your words ''There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles'', I immediately felt like we were old friends. I would have offered you better things, not just this jar of wine. No matter how good something is, it can''t be as good as meeting an old friend!" "No matter how good something is, it can''t be as good as meeting an old friend! Brother Yuan, Aunt Eleven, Ding Bu''Er, let''s have one more cup!" Mo Wuji''s heart was open. This was the first time he felt so happy and carefree ever since he was plotted against by his lover. The four people raised their glass, and drained it in one gulp. When he managed to open his first meridian, what he felt was agitation and excitement. It wasn''t carefree happiness. At this moment, he truly felt free and relaxed. After drinking, Mo Wuji could not help but sing: "There are several friends in the world of life How much friendship can survive Today let''s not separate our hands Friendship is often in our hearts But we still need to say goodbye He will ask to meet But some would be unable to There was a friend Thousand miles away Separated and remote There''s no need to meet We will know in our hearts Friendship cannot be changed [1] ... At first, it was just Mo Wuji singing. Afterwards, Yuan Zhenyi and co. learned the lyrics and they all sang together. ... Wen Manzhu was standing outside Mo Wuji''s tent, frowning. Seeing Mo Wuji mixing around with someone like Yuan Zhenyi made her unhappy. Afterall, Mo Wuji was once a prefecture prince. Even though he lost his status, he should not have fallen so far. If he continued to fall further, he could no longer climb back up. If not for the guilt in her heart which made her want to help Mo Wuji, she would have turned away and left. Perhaps she was not aware about it, but she had another purpose for coming, and that was to help Situ Po inquire about the origins of ''The Sly Gentleman''. But when she heard Mo Wuji sing ''The Light of Friendship'', she was shocked. It could be said that she spent most of her life with Mo Wuji, and she understood Mo Wuji down to his bones. But she never knew that Mo Wuji had such talent in music. This song was extremely sweet, and at the same time, it contained great sincerity. "Brother Mo, that song was good, I like it! We may be separated by thousands of mountains, or millions of seas, but our friendship will not change!" Aunt Eleven drank till her whole face was red. Behaving like a man, she staggered to Mo Wuji''s side, grabbed his arms and looked at him with a pair of drunk eyes. Yuan Zhenyi also stood up and raised his glass, "It indeed is a good song. I like it too! The only pity was that there was no wine in that song, if not it would have been perfect! Here, let''s have one more glass!" Mo Wuji stood up tipsily, drained his glass and said loudly, "If that''s the case, how about I sing another song, Yesterday is gone again Happiness is the most important Water cannot be recovered again After a peach withers, there''s still a rose Life will always have strong winds and rains A sprinkle of rain will not stop us from drinking Whether we regret or not, we can slowly decide At this moment friends this cup of wine is the most precious Have a cup full of wine and sing loudly Good friends, nice friends, we''ll have so much fun tonight Also let me know how to cherish a friend''s shoulder The sun will always shine after a heavy storm Let us raise our head and learn to be strong Like a friend, this cup of wine warms my heart I do not worry about anything else Today we have come to meet Feelings of affection filled the glass Years rush like water Who cares who he was yesterday ¡­ £Û2£Ý¡± Mo Wuji''s hoarse, husky voice made Wen Manzhu completely stunned. She preferred this song to the previous one. Each and every word strummed her heartstrings, making her blood boil, compelling her to go in and drink with them. Is this the feeling of friendship? She also had her own friends. Cheng Yu State''s Ninth Prince, Situ Po. Cheng Yu State''s general, Zhao Feihu''s son, Zhao Pu. Minister Yao Kang''s son, Yao Bingzhen. There was also the hypocrite Zhao Xu... [3] Which one of them wasn''t handsome? Which one of them wasn''t a promising hero? Why was it that she can''t seem to find this feeling of boiling blood when she''s with them? If Situ Po wasn''t interested in Mo Wuji''s knowledge of the Sunflower Law, would he have advised her to chat with Mo Wuji? "Good... Good... Brother Mo, I like this song... Have a cup full of wine and sing loudly! Good friends, nice friends, we''ll have so much fun tonight..." Yuan Zhenyi joined Mo Wuji and sang loudly. Ding Bu''Er and Aunt Eleven also joined in. Wen Manzhu stood outside the tent for a long time, and finally dispelled the idea of entering the tent. If not for what happened today, she would never have known how talented Mo Wuji was. By casually singing those two songs, he was able to make her blood boil and compel her to join in the singing. She walked faraway to a place where she could no longer hear the songs. Wen Manzhu slowly lowered her head. She knew, it didn''t matter how well Mo Wuji could sing, they were two different people from two different worlds. If Mo Wuji had spiritual roots, she would think of ways to help him. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji only had mortal roots. After she enters a sect and starts cultivating, this distance between them would only get wider. "Let the past go. If I''m successful in my cultivation, and if we were to ever meet again, I will give him great fortune. I can even help him achieve his dream of taking back the Northern Qin Prefecture," Wen Manzhu muttered as she walked into the inn. She seemed to have found a reason to truly say goodbye to Mo Wuji.

You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QAIm49rC2k [3] Throwback to when Mo Wuji was in the Worker¡¯s Union. Chapter 34: Makeshift Market by the Sea Chapter 34: Makeshift Market by the Sea Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: When Mo Wuji woke up, Yuan Zhenyi and Aunt Eleven were no longer there. Only Ding Bu''Er was with him in the tent. Despite drinking the whole night, Mo Wuji did not feel hungover. Instead, his whole body felt really relaxed. Ostensibly, Yuan Zhenyi brought out a jar of really good wine. He seemed to have released all his long pent up pressure and grievances. Mo Wuji was very grateful to Yuan Zhenyi and Aunt Eleven. Those two were people he could befriend. He opened his bag; the Channel Opening Solution was still there. The completely relaxed Mo Wuji stood up, grabbed one of the glass bottles and finished it. After opening his first meridian, he did not dare open a second one due to his poor physical state. But now, his body was completely relaxed, and his current state was excellent. This was the best time to drink the Channel Opening Solution. A line of fire appeared within his body. Mo Wuji could clearly feel a second meridian being opened. Mo Wuji clenched his fist and completely relaxed himself. If his solution''s effects could continue, wouldn''t he be a cultivating genius? Unfortunately, the efforts wore off after two hours. Like when he tried to open his first meridian, his second meridian was stuck at a point. The experienced Mo Wuji remained calm. He was very clear that the channel opening solution alone was not enough to open a meridian. What he needed to do now, was to find a lightning lake and use the lightning to open his meridians. This method might be a little cruel to himself, but at least it worked. Mo Wuji did not intend to try being struck by lightning from the sky. This kind of lightning might directly strike him to death. If only he had some cultivation manual or technique, then he would not need to put his body through such pain just to open a meridian. "Wuji, you''re awake. Hurry and go wash up. Let''s visit the Makeshift Market," Ding Bu''Er excitedly ran towards him and said. "Makeshift market?" Mo Wuji asked puzzledly. Ding Bu''Er laughed and said, "Ha ha, you wouldn''t know about this. I also only found out after Brother Zhenyi brought me there. The Makeshift Market is a market which was hastily put together, and it could disperse at any time. This time around, many people have gathered here to go to Chang Luo. Many of them want to buy things, while many of them also want to sell things, so they set up this temporary market - the Makeshift Market. When the boat to Chang Luo arrives, the market would naturally disperse." "I definitely need to see this. Where can I go and wash up?" Mo Wuji quickly said. This Makeshift Market would surely open his eyes to this world. The people heading to the royal capital were largely cultivators. Visiting this market would help him better understand cultivation. Ding Bu''Er pointed to the sea, "Isn''t it right there?" Mo Wuji glared at Ding Bu''Er, "Seawater is salty, you want me to wash up there?" Ding Bu''Er laughed, "Who said that seawater must always be salty? This is a freshwater sea. Don''t you see many people showering there?" Freshwater sea? There was no freshwater sea back in Earth. At least Mo Wuji did not know of any. But the universe is vast and there were many planets. There were many things he did not know. ... Half an hour later, Mo Wuji and Ding Bu''Er appeared in the Makeshift Market. Looking around, there was an intense flow of people. Shouting and loud peddling could be heard. It was a really lively scene. "Wuji, do you see that? Elixirs we would not usually see are actually in abundance here. Of course, the prices are outrageously high. The cheapest ones already cost hundreds of gold coins, and the mediocre ones cost at least ten thousand gold coins. I even saw a Clear Sight Fruit selling for 500 thousand gold coins... Right there, where everyone is gathering at. I think it still hasn''t been sold." Ding Bu''Er pointed at a crowd not far away. "Let''s go over and see," Mo Wuji hurried over. Mo Wuji and Ding Bu''Er joined the crowd and saw a man with an extremely hostile looking face. In front of him, was a big square stone. On that stone, was a clear, transparent glass bottle. In that glass bottle, was a fruit the size of a baby''s fist. The fruit was also crystal clear. In fact, Mo Wuji would have thought it was a crystal if not for the leaf growing on it. "My friend, your price of 500 thousand gold coins is too outrageous. I am willing to offer you 200 thousand gold coins. That''s the highest I can offer you," A hunch backed man said. The owner of the Clear Sight Fruit did not say anything, as though he did not hear the offer. "Why don''t you say something," The hunched back man said in a heavier tone. The hostile looking man''s eyes fell on the hunched back man, "You took nearly an hour to raise your offer from 150 thousand gold coins to 200 thousand gold coins. You can slowly take more time to increase your offer. Don''t ask me to say anything because I will not accept anything less than 500 thousand." Back in Dan Han Drug Refinery, Mo Wuji read a lot of books and could be considered rather knowledgeable. However, he had never seen the Clear Sight Fruit before. The hunched back man sneered, "The Clear Sight Fruit can be refined into the Clear Sight Pill, and even the Clear Sight Pill itself might only be worth 500 thousand. Eating the fruit alone can also enhance your eyesight, but the effects are a lot lower than the pill. Friend, you need to learn when to be content." "I heard that consuming this fruit can allow one to see anything within 100m clearly even on a dark, moonless night," Ding Bu''Er whispered into Mo Wuji''s ear. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath; the effects of this fruit were so strong? Then this fruit is definitely worth more than 500 thousand gold coins. If he had 500 thousand gold coins, he would not bargain and directly purchase the fruit. Mo Wuji suddenly remembered that he also had a spiritual ingredient on him - the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Previously, he only gave two to Han Ning, so he had one strain for himself. However, he did not know the purpose of the Two-leaved Fire Grass and whether it was worth as much as the Clear Sight Fruit. Something''s not right... This fruit was so valuable, why would this hostile looking man be willing to sell it? He''s even selling it before reaching the royal capital even though it could be sold for a much higher price there. Most of the people here were simply house attendants, it would be really hard for him to find someone with enough money to buy his fruit. "I definitely want this fruit, but I don''t have that much gold coins on me..." A voice came from afar. An invisible, powerful force pushed Mo Wuji and Ding Bu''Er directly to the side. A clear path appeared within the crowd and along came a man carrying a sword on his back. There was a small sword embroidered in gold by the corner of his clothes. "Sir Immortal, are you from the Ancient Sword Gate?" The hostile looking man suddenly asked in an excited tone. The man carrying the sword on his back nodded, "That''s right, I''m Fei Kaichang from the Ancient Sword Gate." After hearing that sentence, the hostile looking man hurriedly passed the glass bottle over to the man. His voice trembled as he said, "Junior''s name is Yan An. I have long admired the Ancient Sword Gate and I would really like to present Senior Fei with this Clear Sight Fruit. I just hope that..." Fei Kaichang raised his hand and interrupted Yan An''d words, "When we reach Chang Luo, I can pass you the gold coins. I don''t have that much clout to get you into the Ancient Sword Gate." Obviously, he knew what Yan An''s intentions were and stopped him in advance. Yan An hurriedly said, "Junior doesn''t need to be an official disciple. I will be satisfied if I can be an outer disciple or even a service disciple in the Ancient Sword Gate." Mo Wuji finally understood. This guy wasn''t intending on selling the Clear Sight Fruit. He just wanted to use it as an opportunity to enter a sect. Perhaps he knew that his spiritual roots might not be good enough to get him into a sect during the Spring Immortal''s Gate. What an opportunistic man. Even if it wasn''t a disciple from the Ancient Sword Gate but a disciple from another sect, he would say the same thing. That''s not right, what if someone directly offered him the 500 thousand gold coins to buy his fruit? Fei Kaichang nodded and casually took out a wooden plaque and passed it to Yan An, "This is my personal plaque. When you reach Chang An, you can directly report to the Ancient Sword Gate service department." "Yes, Sir Immortal!'' Under the envying gaze of the crowd, Yan An put the wooden plaque away. Chapter 35: The Female Slave Chapter 35: The Female Slave Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: As the crowd dispersed, Ding Bu''Er sighed to Mo Wuji, "Ai, I finally understand why the little miss wanted us to find the Two-leaved Fire Grass. She definitely wanted to use it as a gift for an immortal. If only you kept a strain for yourself, then maybe you might be able to use it to exchange it for a service disciple position in a big sect." Mo Wuji laughed and whispered, "I really did keep a strain for myself. But the value of the Two-leaved Fire Grass cannot be compared to the Clear Sight Fruit. If casually coming out with a low grade spiritual ingredient can make you a service disciple, then there will be far too many service disciples." Ding Bu''Er nodded his head, "That''s true." "I want Number 17. I bid 20 gold coins." "Number 17, 23 gold coins." ... The loud sound of an auction travelled into Mo Wuji''s ears. He curiously looked over and subconsciously asked, "There''s an auction? I wonder what are they auctioning?" Ding Bu''Er said, "I''ve seen it already, they are actually selling female slaves. I heard that each female slave that is sold is more beautiful than the last, and they are all virgins! This company specially shipped them over to sell to the geniuses participating in the Spring Immortal''s Gate." Mo Wuji asked puzzledly, "Aren''t the participants only allowed to bring four house attendants? How will they bring the female slaves up the ship?" "Here''s where you don''t understand. We still have some time before the ship departs. Naturally, these rich children would need some fun and company for these few days. Do you want to see?" Ding Bu''Er laughed. "Forget about it," Mo Wuji shook his head. He was extremely triggered by the sale of women but he was far too powerless to stop it. There''s no point going over only to make himself feel more unhappy. "Congratulations to this friend who bought number 17 at the price of 25 gold coins. We will now be selling number 26. Everyone, please take note. Number 26 is not worse than number 17. In fact, she is even more delicate and prettier than number 17. There''s even an additional selling point: she was actually born from nobility; I heard that she is a descendant from the Northern Qin''s Mo Clan..." Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks and looked towards the auction; both his hands were clenched tightly into fists. Even though his soul was not from the Northern Qin Mo Clan, his blood was. Furthermore, he also had the surname Mo. Before Ding Bu''Er could say anything, Mo Wuji had already hastily rushed over to the auction site. Ding Bu''Er was clear about Mo Wuji''s past. Seeing Mo Wuji''s angry face, he was worried that Mo Wuji might do something rash so he quickly rushed over. "Wuji, this is not a place where you can fool around. Here, we can be easily crushed like ants," Ding Bu''Er grabbed Mo Wuji''s arms and said. Mo Wuji calmly said, "I know what to do." "I bid 35 gold coins..." A man, who looked like a little dwarf, shouted. "Oh, the taste of nobility... It must be delicious, I bid 40 gold coins," an obscene voice sounded out. Mo Wuji had seen the female slave. There was a trace of anger and despair in her eyes as her ankle was cruelly tied by an iron chain. The obese salesman was right; this was a very beautiful girl. Her green dress was neat and clean, this was clearly to sell her for some extra gold. "100 gold coins," Mo Wuji said coolly. His heart was burning in anger. He desperately wanted to pull out a knife to the fatty. But his rationality told him that rashness is a demon. He could only use gold to solve this problem. If not, he would die a worse death than that fatty. The girl he wanted to save might even have it worse. The noisy crowd suddenly calmed down. Since the start of the auction, the highest price offered had never entered the hundreds. The previous offers of 35 gold coins and 40 gold coins were already very high. Ah, this guy must be a prodigal to pay 100 gold coins for a female slave. He could have bought many slaves at that price. Due to Mo Wuji''s bid of 100 gold coins, the crowd became quiet. But all of a sudden, someone abruptly bid 101 gold coins, "This girl''s not bad, I bid 101 gold coins.¡± This new bid was like throwing firecrackers into the crowd; the crowd instantly became enlivened and people started to bid higher prices. Mo Wuji looked at the guy who bid 101 gold coins. He was holding a paper fan, his hair was gelled to the point where he can see his own reflection. Mo Wuji did not even know him and why he wanted to compete with him. "1000 gold coins," Mo Wuji was in no mood to haggle and he directly raised his bid by 10 times. When the obese salesman heard the 1000 gold coin bid, he was so excited, even his fats were trembling. Even 10 slaves would not sell for this price; how could he not be excited? But he still looked at the man holding the paper fan. He wanted to two of them to start a bidding war so that he could earn more gold coins. The crowd became even more excited. It was really incredible to see a female slave being sold for 1000 gold coins. "This brat has some guts to try and steal my woman. 1001 gold coins! Let''s see if you dare bid again," The man folded his fan and stared fiercely at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji acted as though he did not hear the man''s threats and directly called out, "1001 gold coins... and 1 copper coin." "You..." The man pointed his fan towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s current bid an obvious slap to his face. Not only did Mo Wuji not shut up under his threat, he directly added 1 copper coin. This wasn''t simply slapping him in the face; it was slapping him in the face multiple times with a studded glove on. Hearing Mo Wuji add a copper coin, the obese salesman''s fat face twitched a few times and his gaze landed on the man with the paper fan. He hoped that the man would be angered and raise the price in rage. Unfortunately, his anger ended at pointing his fan at Mo Wuji and he did not continue bidding. As the obese salesman counted to 3, the man with the paper fan did not respond and only fiercely stared at Mo Wuji. "Congratulations my friend, you have purchased this Northern Qin female slave for 1001 gold coins and 1 copper coin." "Who said I''m not bidding? Your father here bids 2000 gold coins," the man with the paper fan stared at the obese salesman and shouted. Chapter 36: The Mo Clan’s Girl Chapter 36: The Mo Clan¡¯s Girl Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After the offer of 2000 gold coins was made, the obese salesman was so shocked that his fats trembled and jiggled again. He wanted to slap himself for not waiting longer before closing the deal. No, he would absolutely not let this additional 1000 gold coins slip away from him. This thought made him shout with excitement, "Someone offered 2000 gold coins. Is anyone willing to offer more..." Before he could finish his sentence, his felt something icy cold pressed against his neck. He subconsciously bowed his head down and saw a sharp, shiny white knife placed dangerously close. "You ... you better hurry and let me go... we are at the assembly point of the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference, how dare you attack me here?" The obese salesman initially stumbled on his words but soon spoke with confidence when he realised that Mo Wuji would not dare to do anything rash to him. Mo Wuji was the one holding the knife against his neck. The crowd was surprised to see that Mo Wuji had made a move. To act violently here was simply not treasuring one''s own life. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Fatty, you just agreed to my offer previously. We had a verbal contract between us. You and I both know that we should never go back on our word. Even you know that we are at the assembly point of the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. If one of the immortal masters found out that you started an unethical business here and went back on your word, isn''t that considered being ignorant of the rules put in place here? Tearing this verbal contract between us at this assembly point, do you know what will happen to you then?" Mo Wuji paused intentionally before sneering, "I am afraid you might not live to spend the money you earned. I do not even have to kill you personally. I just need to report to one of the immortal masters here." Mo Wuji put down his knife after finishing his sentence and looked at the obese salesman with disdain. The obese salesman broke out in a cold sweat. Mo Wuji was right. If Mo Wuji did not pursue this matter, he would be fine. But why would someone as daring as Mo Wuji not pursue this matter especially after he suffered such a loss? The obese salesman forgot about the danger when his greed for the gold coins overwhelmed him. He definitely could not act shamelessly in front of so many people. If he did that, he would be granting himself a death wish. "Ah ah, I¡¯m sorry I made a mistake here. I was blinded by the money and I forgot I already made a deal with you,¡± the obese salesman smiled gently and handed Mo Wuji the key to the girl''s chain. His life was more valuable compared to the 1000 gold coins of profit that he would have made. Mo Wuji grunted, unlocked the chain and threw both the chain and key away. At the same time, he took 1001 gold coins and 1 copper coin from his pocket and handed it over to the obese salesman. If it was not to save this girl who might have been from his clan, he definitely would not have agreed so easily. Even if he were to purchase her, he would fork out at most 50 to 100 gold coins. After seeing this fatty try to sell a descendant from the Northern Qin''s Mo Clan, Mo Wuji did not intend on letting him go so easily. The face of the man with the paper fan turned gloomy. However, he did not dare to challenge the rules of the system at the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. All he could do was to watch helplessly as Mo Wuji took the girl from the obese salesman. The obese salesman hurried over to the man with the paper fan and said politely, "Mister, I have even better ones over here. Number 31 does not only look beautiful, but is very proficient in a variety of musical rhythms. Compared to the rest, number 31 is the best one I''ve got here..." "Is that true? You have an even better one yet you did not offer it to me earlier? I want number 31 too. My offer is 1000 gold coins," Mo Wuji said without waiting for the man with the paper fan to respond. The man with the paper fan did not react after being humiliated by Mo Wuji previously because he did not want to challenge the rules of the system in the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. However, Mo Wuji was still trying to humiliate him with this offer for number 31. He would not let this pass as he did not believe Mo Wuji could compete with his wealth. "2000 gold coins," The man with the paper fan said arrogantly while staring at Mo Wuji with disdain. The obese salesman was stunned as the two men started bidding for number 31 even before he put her on offer. He became really pleased when he realised this was his chance to earn big. "3000 gold coins," Mo Wuji shouted out casually. "5000." "6000..." "10 thousand gold coins!" The man with the paper fan''s blood was boiling as he did not expect a small fry like Mo Wuji to be so arrogant. Mo Wuji saw a slightly older man whisper some words to the man with the paper fan. The man with the paper fan then became a little less angsty and did not look as crazy as he was. "Not bad, you are a rich Lord indeed. I cannot compete with you any further,¡± Mo Wuji pulled the girl he just purchased and said to a completely stunned Ding Bu''Er, "Bu''Er, we are leaving." At this moment, the man realised Mo Wuji was out to annoy him. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead turned green and he just wanted to order someone to grab Mo Wuji immediately. It was a pity that this place was not under his monarchy so he dared not to do such things. "Jia Jing, pay him," The man with the paper fan grunted and left without even taking a look at how number 31 looked like. The one who benefitted the most was the obese salesman. Just selling off these two slaves earned him a year or two worth of profits. ... "Wuji, the fatty is not a good person too. Although you managed to pit youself against the irritating fellow, you let the fatty earn a lot from these transactions," Ding Bu''Er said to Mo Wuji. Mo laughed, "I let him earn a lot? He he, we''ll talk about it when we go back." How dare he put a member of the Mo Clan for sale as a female slave? Mo Wuji considered the fatty dead from the very beginning. He dared to offer a high price only because he was not afraid to pay. "I will go visit Brother Zhenyi and Aunt Eleven, you can go back first, " Ding Bu''er took the initiative to leave as he realised Mo Wuji might have things to say to the girl. Mo Wuji brought the girl to the tent and proceeded to set it up. The girl stared vigilantly at Mo Wuji because Mo Wuji, the man with the paper fan and the obese salesman were the same type of people she hated. "What is your name?" Mo Wuji did not bother about her vigilant stares as he sat down. "Mo Xiangtong," The girl continued looking at Mo Wuji vigilantly after saying her name. "How do you address the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord Mo Tiancheng?" Mo Wuji continued questioning her. Mo Xiangtong was not surprised as everyone knew that she was born in Northern Qin, "Lord Tiancheng is my uncle, my father and him are cousins." Mo Wuji looked surprisingly at Mo Xiangtong. Who knew that Mo Xiangtong was actually one generation older than him. He should actually address her as Aunt Xiangtong. "My name is Mo Wuji, Mo Tiancheng happened to be my grandfather. This is so you understand why I wanted to save you," Mo Wuji explained emotionally. Mo Xiangtong appeared even more shocked than Mo Wuji after he said that. She hesitated before asking, "Are you the young Lord..." Mo Wuji laughed bitterly, "What young Lord, technically, i am the only direct descendant of the Lord. However, the position of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord no longer belongs to the Mo Clan." Mo Xiangtong''s entire body trembled as her eyes turned red and tears started pouring out. Chapter 37: Extinction Chapter 37: Extinction Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Luo An''s Mo Clan''s gone...They''re all dead..." Mo Xiangtong said with a face covered in tears. She did not continue to speak and continued to cry. "The incident has already passed. You can take your time and talk." Mo Wuji pulled Mo Xiangtong up and sat her on a chair. The Luo An which Mo Xiangtong mentioned was the capital of the Northern Qin Prefecture. As the prefectural royal family, the Mo Clan stayed in Luo An. Mo Wuji would not dare inquire about the Mo Clan in front of others, but he naturally did not have such concerns with Mo Xiangtong. Mo Xiangtong continued to sob, but she endured her grief as she said, " Four years ago, the Mo Clan was dragged into the assassination of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord..." "Wait¡­ isn''t the Mo Clan from the Northern Qin Royal Family? Why would it be involved in the assassination of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord?" Mo Wuji interrupted Mo Xiangtong and asked puzzledly. Mo Xiangtong shook her head, "Four years ago, our Mo Clan was no longer the Northern Qin Royal Family.The Ju Clan is now the new Northern Qin Royal Family. After the previous prefecture lord disappeared, Ju Xufeng took over as the new lord under the instigations of the Cheng Yu State Lord. However, during his rounds, he was assassinated by a member of the Mo Clan. The Mo assassin was killed on the spot and nine generations of the Mo Clan were ordered to be executed..." Mo Wuji''s face turned gloomy. A Mo Clan member assassinated the acting Prefecture Lord? Isn''t this excuse too ridiculous? What a sinister plot, even nine generations were to be killed, this was a bit too much. "How did you escape? When they found you, why didn''t they kill you?" Mo Wuji looked at Mo Xiangtong in doubt. Mo Xiangtong said in an aggrieved tone, "That year when the old prefecture lord disappeared, your parents departed for Rao Zhou to inherit the throne. But there was never news from them, and all the Mo Clan members we dispatched to Rao Zhou also disappeared." Hearing this, Mo Wuji finally understood why no one from the Mo Clan came to Rao Zhou. From the looks of it, they were all assassinated the moment they left Luo An. A Mo Clan member who left for Rao Zhou was a dead Mo Clan member. During that time, Ju Xufeng had taken over as the prefecture lord and the Ju Clan finally had the power to deal with the Mo Clan. "Because of the increasing number of disappearances, the Mo patriarch ordered every Mo Clan member to stay in Luo An. Four years ago, I was just 15 years old. I was really pampered so I decided to take the risk and leave Luo An to see the world. On the second day I left, the Mo Clan got involved in the assassination and all nine generations were exterminated. When I heard the news, I did not dare return to Luo An, so I decided to go to Rao Zhou to find your father..." Mo Xiangtong seemed to recall her painful and helpless days, "To survive I did many things: I stole, I begged, I even ate weeds and leaves..." Mo Wuji suddenly felt a tinge of regret. He should have offered help to the little girl who tried to steal from him. Who knows whether she might have been another survivor from the Mo Clan. "I lived like that for over two years until a kind family took me in as their little miss''s maidservant. But it all ended three months ago. The family might have offended someone they should not have, and those people suddenly came and killed all the way to our doorsteps. The whole family was killed and only the little miss and I survived. They spared us to earn a bit of extra cash; the little miss and I were sold to a brothel. This obese salesman was a partner of that brothel. He really knows how to do business. He said that with the opening of the Spring Immortal''s Gate, many rich and esteemed people would gather here and maybe buy some female slaves. After they''re done with us, they would abandon us here, and the obese salesman would just take us back to the brothel..." "Pa..." Mo Wuji slapped the table angrily, "How vicious!" It didn''t matter whether he was referring to the obese salesman or the people who killed the little miss''s entire family. Having said that, Mo Wu suddenly remembered, "What happened to that lady?" "She''s called Jing Lengbei. She was that number 31. Wuji, can you find some ways to save her..." Mo Xiangtong looked at Mo Wuji expectantly with tears in her eyes. She could figure out that Mo Wuji was here under the identity of a house attendant but she still hoped that a miracle could happen. Maybe that man with the paper fan appreciated Mo Wuji''s guts and was willing to accept his requests. "We can talk about this later. Just wait for me here," Mo Wuji finished his sentence and left hurriedly out of the tent before Mo Xiangtong could even respond. The saving grace that the Jing Clan had given to Mo Xiangtong by taking her in had to be repaid. He had to hurry before that Jing Lengbei got tainted by that fool. Mo Wuji saw Ding Bu''Er from afar and hurriedly walked towards him, "Bu''Er, did you find out about the guy I was competing with?" Ding Bu''Er thought that Mo Wuji was worried and answered urgently, "I just investigated. That guy is the prefecture prince of the Xuan Liang Prefecture. His name is Tuo Baqi and he stays in the same inn as our little miss. He has an explosive temper and is very vengeful. We don''t have to worry about him now, but when we get on the ship, we will have to be careful. I heard that the immortal masters don''t care if people get killed on the ship." "I understand. Bu''Er, can you get another tent? I need to find the little miss," Mo Wuji hastily said the last sentence and rushed towards the inn. Hearing that Mo Wuji was going to find Han Ning, Ding Bu''Er was no longer worried. Mo Wuji probably wanted Han Ning to help him pay a visit to that Tuo Baqi so that he wouldn''t do anything unscrupulous. "Stop, you''re not a guest here, you''re not allowed in," the inn''s doorman stopped Mo Wuji. He recognised Mo Wuji as the person who got chased away by the Cao Hao that little prince. Mo Wuji politely cupped his fists, "I''m here to look for my little miss. You can''t possibly not allow me from meeting my little miss, right?" The doorman hesitated. What Mo Wuji said made sense; as a house attendant, shouldn''t he be allowed to report to his little miss? When he was about to respond, Mo Wuji stuffed a gold coin into his hands, "Brother, please make an exception. I''m not staying for long, I won''t be making things difficult for you." The doorman was already prepared to let Mo Wuji in. Seeing Mo Wuji take out the gold coin, he no longer hesitated and said, "Just go in. Remember to come out soon." Mo Wuji thanked him unceasingly. Just when he was about to enter the inn, he seemed to recall something, and whispered in the doorman''s ears, "Brother, I heard that the Xuan Liang Prefecture Prince just bought a stunning female slave?" The doorman laughed and gave Mo Wuji a knowing look, and whispered, "Brother, we''re really the same kind of people. That female slave is really not bad. She had a beautiful goose egg face. And her big chest! Oh... I wonder what will holding them feel like..." The doorman slipped into his perverted fantasies. "I wonder where does that fellow stay. His neighbours are sure to complain about the loud noise, " Mo Wuji spoke in the same obscene tone as the doorman. The doorman laughed, "You don''t have to worry about that. That little prince stays in room number 17. Right next to it is a big patio." "What a lucky man. Well, I got to go report to my little miss," Mo Wuji said casually and hurried into the inn. Chapter 38: The Rescue Chapter 38: The Rescue Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Room number 17 was indeed next to a patio. It was located in a relatively remote area on the second level. Mo Wuji reached into his thigh pocket to feel for his knife. He wanted to stun Tuo Baqi by attacking first to make him unconscious before sneaking Jing Lengbei out of there. He believed that as long as he did not murder Tuo Baqi, the immortal masters would never conduct a thorough investigation for a missing female slave. As Tuo Baqi was about to board the ship, he probably wouldn''t investigate or send people to search for her due to the lack of time. Mo Wuji had already made backup plans for instances such as the encounter with Hu Fei previously. In the event that Tuo Baqi was very powerful and Mo Wuji could not knock him unconscious, he would kill him and quickly escape. Whether he killed Tuo Baqi or not would have led to two very different outcomes. If he really did kill Tuo Baqi, Mo Wuji would have to leave immediately. "Young Prince, the fellow is ready to leave. When we were competing with that b*stard, all the other slaves he brought became so popular and were all sold out very quickly. When I went over, he was already packing his belongings. My guess is that he will be leaving very soon," Mo Wuji heard the conversation very clearly as he hid below a window in the corner. Mo Wuji did not expect somebody else to be in Tuo Baqi''s room. His initial guess was that an arrogant, domineering prince like Tuo Baqi would have his own room. If there really was two people in the room, there would be problems with his plan. Tuo Baqi sneered and said," Does he really think he can get away safely having taken my money? Jia Jing, bring the two others with you to get the gold coins back and finish him off. Do it when he''s further away from here. Do it cleanly and don''t leave any evidence behind." Mo Wuji did not expect Tuo Baqi to think the same way as himself. He was planning to kill the obese salesman after he left this place. If Mo Wuji did not sneak in here, he would not have realised that the obese salesman planned to leave so quickly. "Young master, I will take my leave then. Do not worry, I will get the gold coins back,¡± the man called Jia Jing sounded off and then Mo Wuji heard the squeaking sound of the door. Mo Wuji knocked on the door when the sound of the footsteps disappeared completely. "Who is it?" Tuo Baqi asked. Mo Wuji imitated Jia Jing''s voice and said softly," Young master, I thought of a better idea. Shall I come in and discuss it with you?" Mo Wuji originally planned to enter through the window but after hearing Jia Jing''s voice, he changed his plan. "Squeak..." The door opened again. Mo Wuji entered the room as fast as he could and hit Tuo Baqi in the temple with a punch. Tuo Baqi would have never expected Jia Jing to knock him out and before he recognised that it was Mo Wuji, he heard a humming sound from the back of his head and was knocked unconscious. Mo Wuji felt relieved as he locked the door. He then retrieved a bottle of solution and poured it into Tuo Baqi''s mouth. He was sure the solution would leave Tuo Baqi unconscious for an entire day. Finishing what he needed to do, Mo Wuji finally took a good look at the girl sitting by the side. He realised that the obese salesman really did not exaggerate her beauty. This girl was indeed prettier than Mo Xiangtong. She had shoulder length hair, a goose egg face and skin that looked as smooth as cream. Although she looked stunned, she looked more surprised at Mo Wuji as she did not understand how Mo Wuji was so daring. "Are you Jing Lengbei?" Mo Wuji asked as he took out a black scarf from his pocket. The girl stood up immediately and looked even more surprisingly at Mo Wuji," How do you know my name? I have not told anyone my name even though i was being trafficked. No one even bothered to know my name. All I was given was a number." "Let''s not waste time. I was entrusted by Mo Xiangtong to save you. Put on this scarf and come with me now. I will distract the doorman downstairs and block his line of sight while you leave the inn. Then wait for me outside," Mo Wuji said while handing her the black scarf. "Ah, Xiangtong..." Jing Lengbei understood the situation very quickly. Maybe she clicked well with people from the Mo Clan. She did not enquire anymore as she quickly put on the scarf Mo Wuji handed her. It was not difficult working with her as Mo Wuji said in a low voice," Follow me but remember to stay a distance away from me. When you see me talking to the doorman, that¡¯s your cue." "Understood," Jing Lengbei nodded as her voice trembled. She did not know whether she was anxious or afraid. Mo Wuji closed Tuo Baqi''s door on the way out. If it was not for the immortal masters, he would have sliced Tuo Baqi''s throat. If he were to kill him here, the immortal masters would investigate and find him in no time. Jing Lengbei followed behind Mo Wuji from a distance. She saw Mo Wuji as he patted the shoulders of the doorman at the lobby and had a great time laughing with him. She did not know how Mo Wuji managed to do it. But she lowered her head and hurried out of the inn¡¯s lobby. "I did not expect little miss to be sleeping causing you not being able to meet her. No worries, you can go up directly next time you''re here," the inn¡¯s doorman felt embarrassed that he accepted Mo Wuji''s gold coin but yet Mo Wuji did not manage to meet with little miss. Mo Wuji smiled and thanked him as he saw Jing Lengbei leaving," All right, I will take my leave first. I am not very welcomed here by a certain someone anyway." The doorman was very entertained by Mo Wuji''s humour and even walked him out to the exit. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief after they both left the inn. Fortunately, he did not have to resort to killing Tuo Baqi. Mo Wuji saw Jing Lengbei waiting far away for him therefore he hurried over to her side and said to her, "Follow me." There were a lot of people around this area, therefore no one would suspect anything as they walked past. After half a quarter of an hour, Mo Wuji brought Jing Lengbei back to the tent. Ding Bu''Er was still setting up the new tent as he was ordered. "Xiangtong, is that really you?" Jing Lengbei felt relieved the moment she saw Mo Xiangtong as she knew that Mo Wuji had not lied to her. "Sister Bei, you are okay, I am so glad..." Mo Xiangtong''s eyes were still reddish. It looked as though she cried again after Mo Wuji left. She then recalled and wondered how Mo Wuji rescued Jing Lengbei, "Wuji, how did you manage to rescue Sister Bei? You did not kill anyone right?" Even she knew it was very hard to get away with murder in this place and therefore she knew they needed to leave immediately if he really did kill him. "We will leave now. We can discuss the details later," Mo Wuji said in a hurry. He did not have the means nor the ability to bring both Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei to the royal capital, as even he did not get his own slot easily. "Brother Mo, after hearing from Bu''Er, I knew what you were up to. How dare you commit such a crime. Did you really kill Tuo Baqi?" Yuan Zhenyi asked as he, Aunt Eleven and Ding Bu''Er appeared at the entrance of the tent. Chapter 39: The Pursuit Chapter 39: The Pursuit Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Oh, Brother Yuan, Aunt Eleven, you''re here. I didn''t kill him, I merely knocked him out. This is my aunt, Mo Xiangtong, and this is her friend, Jing Lengbei. I was just getting ready to help them escape," Mo Wuji said without hiding anything. Yuan Zhenyi heaved a sigh of relief, "That''s good. As long as you didn''t kill him, it''s fine. Come, I''ll help you." Mo Wuji hesitated before saying, "Actually, there''s still something else I want to do before we leave. I want to kill that damned slave trader who sold my aunt..." Mo Xiangtong suddenly sounded out, "Wuji, please call me Xiangtong. I''m younger than you so it makes me feel uncomfortable when you call me your aunt." Actually, Mo Wuji also felt uncomfortable calling Mo Xiangtong his aunt. Afterall, he was not Mo Xinghe, but a reborned Mo Wuji. Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "You didn''t need to hesitate to tell me. Of course I''ll help you. It will be a bit hard, but Aunt Eleven and I will help you kill him. But don''t underestimate these businessmen, some of them are rich enough to hire guards much stronger than us." "I will go too," Ding Bu''Er hurriedly said. Mo Wuji waved his hands and stopped Ding Bu''Er, "Bu''Er, you need to stay here. At least if something bad happens to us, someone knows of this matter. Aunt Eleven, please stay too; having too many people would make things more complicated." "Wuji is right, the two of us are enough. Bu''Er and Aunt Eleven will stay behind. Even if that businessman has some friends, there still won''t be enough people for me to kill," Yuan Zhenyi said laughingly. However, Aunt Eleven waved her hand and said, "I won¡¯t stay, I will help bring Xiangtong and Lengbei away. Xiangtong and Lengbei are plain, normal girls. You''ll need someone to take care of them and protect them." Mo Xiangtong hurriedly interjected, "I lived in the wilderness for two years. I know how to survive and take care of myself." Aunt Eleven laughed and said, "That may be true, but what will you do if you meet some bandits?" Yuan Zhenyi nodded, "Aunt Eleven is right. With her methods, it would be far too easy for her to destroy a band of bandits." "Won''t this take away Aunt Eleven''s opportunity to go to the royal capital? How about this, I will take them away," Mo Wuji said guiltily. Ultimately, Mo Xiangtong was his aunt, he should be the one sending her off. To be honest, he did not actually intend to send them off personally. After all, he could not bear to lose this precious opportunity to go to the royal capital. He did not realise it, but he did not actually treat Mo Xiangtong as his aunt. If it was Yan''Er, he would leave with her regardless of the difficulty. Aunt Eleven laughed, "Wuji, I used to think that Zhenyi was my only true friend who did not feel the need to act chauvinistic in front of me. However, after our drinks last night, I''m glad I met you too..." At this moment, Aunt Eleven suddenly said softly, "How many people in life truly know you... How many friendships actually survive... Isn''t being able to befriend someone like you worth more than this favour of mine? Furthermore, I''m already old and I don''t have spiritual roots. It''s okay if I don''t go to the royal capital. That slave trader can thank his lucky stars; this old lady will no longer be playing with him." Since Aunt Eleven had already said that much, anything Mo Wuji said would simply be hypocritical. Sometimes, the word ''friend'' can be as heavy as mountains. If Aunt Eleven ever needed his help in the future, he would not hesitate to help her. He said earnestly, "Aunt Eleven, you, Zhenyi and Bu''Er will always be my best friends." Mo Wuji had gone through life and death, and he only knew a few true friends. ... "Thump!" Jing Lengbei suddenly kneeled down and sobbingly said, "Sir Mo, after you catch that man, please help me find out who destroyed my Jing Clan." Mo Wuji signalled Mo Xiangtong to pull Jing Lengbei up and said, "You can rest assure that I will definitely do so." Having said that, he looked at Mo Xiangtong and asked, "Do you know the origins of the new Northern Qin Prefecture Lord from the Ju Clan?" "After Ju Xufeng got assassinated, Ju Xuhuo took over. His sister, Ju Caiyun, was the Cheng Yu State Lord Situ Qian''s favourite concubine. But I heard that Situ Qian has a new favourite concubine and Ju Caiyin has gone out of favour..." Mo Xiangtong only said a few sentences, but Mo Wuji completely understood the gist of the entire issue. No wonder the Mo Clan lost the Northern Qin Prefecture throne. Situ Qian that old fox, I will deal with you someday. At the same time, Mo Wuji understood why he was lucky enough to escape Situ Qian''s chopping knife. It was probably because Ju Caiyun had gone out of favour. Since she had gone out of favour, Situ Qian naturally wouldn''t care about the issues regarding the Northern Qin Prefecture. By the time the new Prefecture Lord Ju Xuhuo heard about Mo Wuji, it was already too late. Mo Wuji was sure that if he had stayed in Rao Zhou for a little longer, he would have met with disaster. But then, who was the one who wanted to poison him? "Let''s hurry before we miss the opportunity," Mo Wuji put those thoughts aside and said. He knew that Tuo Baqi had sent people to kill that obese salesman. It''s best if Zhenyi and him could be the lucky third party. [1] ... Even though it was already dusk, the seaside was still bustling and full of life. Mo Wuji, Yuan Zhenyi, Aunt Eleven, Jing Lengbei and Mo Xiangtong each held a horse and walked within the crowd. No one even cared about them. "Just right, that guy''s leaving. Wow, he actually has quite a few guards," Yuan Zhenyi looked at a faraway horse carriage and laughed. After the horse carriage left the crowd of people, Yuan Zhenyi immediately said, "Come, let''s catch up to them." Mo Wuji stopped Yuan Zhenyi, "Zhenyi, wait. Tuo Baqi already sent men to follow him. We just need to wait and be the lucky third party." "Ha Ha..." Yuan Zhenyu laughed. "That guy is really looking for death. He is so bold to leave this safe place just because he thinks that he has enough guards. He''s simply looking forward to his next life." Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "He''s not looking forward to his next life; he''s just looking forward to earn a bit of money. In two days, the ship for the Spring Immortal''s Conference will arrive. He wants to seize these two days to sell more female slaves. I''m sure, if nothing happens to him, he will be back tomorrow. This is what a greedy man would do." If this obese salesman was contented with the money he made, and only left after the ship has sailed off, he would continue living his fat, hedonistic life. Even if Mo Wuji wanted to kill him, he would not waste his chance to go to the royal capital just to do that. Sure enough, it did not take long before Mo Wuji saw Jia Jing bring two men to follow the obese salesman. "We can go now," Mo Wuji said after confirming that there was no one else. ... After two hours, Yuan Zhenyi suddenly did a hand gesture, stopping the five''s advance, "Something''s happening in front. Quickly gag your horses and walk carefully." Mo Wuji used his ears and listened hard. Only with great effort, did he manage to heard the sound of people fighting. He could not help but have a newfound admiration for Yuan Zhenyi. "Wuji, we''re in a windy place, and you''ve never cultivated before. You wouldn''t be able to hear anything. It''s okay to just follow Zhenyi," Seeing Mo Wuji concentrating his ears, Aunt Eleven laughed and said. Mo Wuji knew that Aunt Eleven was not lying. The reason why he could hear the fighting was because he had already opened a meridian. [1] The original Chinese text is: ×öÓæÎÌ. It is an adaptation of the idiom, ðÖ°öÏàÕù£¬ÓæÎ̵ÃÀû. So... the stork and the clam fight, and they both end up getting heavily injured. Ultimately, it was a third party, the fisherman (ÓæÎÌ) who gained from their fight. Chapter 40: Separation Chapter 40: Separation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After another 20 minutes or so, with Yuan Zhenyi leading the way, everyone managed to creep behind a hill. The aid of the moonlight allowed them to observe the fight in good visibility. As they witnessed the fight, Mo Wuji realised how ridiculous his intention to assassinate the obese salesman in the dark alone was. Even though there were already seven to eight casualties below, the obese salesman did have one very powerful guard. He was currently fighting against two others, out of whom, one was Jia Jing. Jia Jing came with two others at first, however, one of them had already been killed. "I was reckless. If I had come alone, I would never have succeeded in assassinating him," Mo Wuji sighed. Yuan Zhenyi responded, "You can''t be blamed for this. This salesman ain''t easy to deal with. Normal salesmen would not hire such powerful guards for themselves." After a few minutes, Jia Jing managed to put a knife through the remaining guard''s shoulder. At the same moment, Jia Jing''s companion was pierced through his waist by the guard''s long sword. Jia Jing and his companions were heavily wounded. Jia Jing followed up and sliced open the head of the obese salesman''s only remaining guard. The obese salesman, who was severely wounded, sat by his horse carriage and did not even bother crying for help. He knew there was no point in crying for help anymore. "Our turn," Yuan Zhenyi said with charisma and slid down the hill like a general. Jia Jing, who just managed to behead his opponent, was extremely fatigued as he saw Yuan Zhenyi approaching. "Dang!" After letting out a cry, Jia Jing took a few steps back and fell to the ground. "Who are you? How dare you attack me? I am working for Xuan Liang''s Prefecture Lord, I will let you go as long as..." Jia Jing''s words were interrupted as he saw Mo Wuji coming down from the hill. He recognised Mo Wuji and the two ladies behind him, Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei. At this juncture, he knew his life was over. Jing Lengbei''s presence indicated that they even dared to attack the Lord, so why would they not dare to kill him? "Pop! " As Jia Jing paused to think, Yuan Zhenyi swung his axe and split Jia Jing''s head apart. Yuan Zhenyi then proceeded on to the heavily wounded companion of Jia Jing and finished him off with his axe too. Aunt Eleven laughed and said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, there is no need for us to help him. Given Zhenyi''s capabilities, these two soft leg shrimps ain''t enough for him." Although Mo Wuji had been through a life and death crisis in the Thunder Fog Forest, he had never witnessed such a bloody scene. For awhile, his senses could not adapt to it. "Thank you my Lord, for the rescue. If not for your timely intervention, I would have lost my life. I am willing to give you all my assets to thank you for your life-saving grace..." Mo Wuji did not expect that the obese salesman would actually stand up and thank him for saving his life. Mo Wuji could not believe that the fatty actually thought that he was here to save him. Mo Wuji could not help but admire this fatty''s ignorance. "Fatty, you are too optimistic. Let me ask you. Where did you find these two girls? Do not bother finding excuses or talk about conditions. If I am happy with your answer, I might give you a good time. If I am not satisfied, I will not kill you but skin you alive and retrieve your tendons." "From a horse thief, Hei Weifeng, in a region in Wu Xue State..." "So Hei Weifeng was the one that destroyed Jing Clan too?" Mo Wuji asked on behalf of Jing Lengbei as he saw her trembling beside him. "I do not know. I really do not know," the fatty, Yong Yong, said repeatedly. Mo Wuji looked at Jing Lengbei and said, "My guess is it was Hei Weifeng''s doing. There is no point in asking anymore." Jing Lengbei fell to the ground in tears. She had heard of Hei Weifeng¡¯s infamous name and his immoral acts before. Mo Wuji used the knife in his hand and split Yong Yong''s head apart too. The splashing fresh blood made him uncomfortable once again. However, he knew that there were some things that had to be done. The fact that the fatty trafficked these young girls made Mo Wuji extremely enraged, not to mention one of them was Mo Xiangtong. Yuan Zhenyi retrieved the gold and silver coins from his body. In addition to some gold notes he managed to retrieve 16000 gold coins and a few thousand silver coins. Yuan Zhenyi passed all the gold coins to Mo Wuji. This was Mo Wuji''s idea after all. Mo Wuji did not keep the gold coins. Instead, he took out an additional 20000 gold notes to split the money into three portions for Aunt Eleven, Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei, "Aunt Eleven, hurry up and bring them away from here." "Understood," Aunt Eleven did not waste any more time and kept the gold notes. Mo Xiangtong knew Mo Wuji wanted to go to the royal capital but was unable to bring her along. Coupled with the fact that Mo Wuji was also from the Mo Clan, she did not say much and just kept the gold coins. The hesitant Jing Lengbei realised that she might make Aunt Eleven unhappy if she rejected the money so she quietly kept the gold coins too. "Wuji, in future..." Mo Xiangtong looked at Mo Wuji with some hesitation. Mo Wuji said with a serious tone, "In future, if I have the ability, I will avenge the Mo Clan." However, Mo Wuji did not mention that he would give up avenging if he was not capable enough. "Let''s go," Aunt Eleven said and mounted the horse. She was always very straightforward with whatever she said or did. Jing Lengbei went up to Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi, she bowed respectfully and mounted the horse without saying a word. "I truly admire this Jing Lengbei, sometimes there is truly no need for words," Yuan Zhenyi said with admiration as he watched the three of them from a distance. After the trio''s voices disappeared under the moonlight, Yuan Zhenyi said," Let''s go. We shall just leave the bodies here." Mo Wuji looked at Jia Jing and said," We can leave the other bodies here but Jia Jing''s must be hidden." Yuan Zhenyi immediately understood the reason, laughed and said," Wuji, you are indeed very careful, how could I not think of this?" ... The hustle and bustle of the night was gone and the morning by the seaside seemed so peaceful. "Ah..." A scream could be heard from even outside Yue Hai Inn. A doorman hurried up to see what was going on. The doorman knocked on Room 17 and asked, "How may I help you Sir?" At this period of time, anyone and everyone could stay in Yue Hai Inn. In any of these rooms, there could be a Lord or a prince. Therefore, even if it was a small Lord or small prince, it did not matter much. Tuo Baqi shouted angrily, " Someone knocked me out yesterday... No, and took my slave away...Wait...Where is Jia Jing? Why is Jia Jing not back yet?" After finishing his sentence, Tuo Baqi calmed down as he recalled what he asked Jia Jing to do before he was knocked out. Even if he was a small prefecture Lord, he would never get away if someone found out he ordered his men to assassinate the salesman. "It''s okay, you may leave. I just had a nightmare," Tuo Baqi waved his hands as he ordered the doorman to take his leave. The doorman revealed a look of disdain as he turned and walked away, not bothering about this lunatic Prefecture Lord. Chapter 41: Lost Opportunity Chapter 41: Lost Opportunity Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Both Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi went back to the tent to rest without worrying about anything. Even if Tuo Baqi knew that they were the culprits, he could not do anything about it without any evidence. By the time Mo Wuji woke up, it was already early in the afternoon. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to ask Ding Bu''Er about Tuo Baqi''s movements, he saw Ding Bu''Er walking from the direction of Yue Hai Inn. "Wuji, the little miss wants to talk to you about something," Ding Bu''Er shouted to Mo Wuji from far away. It was just the right timing that Han Ning wanted to talk to him as he wanted to find out more about Tuo Baqi at the inn as well. "Hold up..." Ding Bu''Er spoke in a low voice as he approached Mo Wuji, "Wuji, please be careful. I doubt it is good news. Peng Maohua was stuttering when he told me about this." Mo Wuji gave Ding Bu''Er a pat, "What can happen to me here? Don¡¯t worry, I was just about to inquire about something.¡± The first person Mo Wuji saw when he entered Yue Hai Inn was Tuo Baqi. Tuo Baqi was busy interrogating the inn''s doorman to find out if anyone suspicious had entered the inn the previous day. Since the doorman had accepted Mo Wuji''s gold coin yesterday and he had no idea what Tuo Baqi was trying to do, he did not tell Tuo Baqi anything. "Heh," Tuo Baqi grunted as he turned around. He was about to go back up when he saw Mo Wuji enter the inn. He turned back after a few steps to scan Mo Wuji with his eyes. He tried to see if there were any similarities between the Mo Wuji and the man who attacked him yesterday. Mo Wuji took a glance at Tuo Baqi and was about to tell the doorman he was going to find Han Ning when Peng Maohua shouted, "Wuji, little miss wants me to tell you that..." Mo Wuji did not have a good feeling about this as Peng Maohua continued, "...Wuji, little miss is unable to bring you to Chang Luo..." Even Peng Maohua found it difficult to bring this across to Mo Wuji as he was still grateful for Mo Wuji. If not for Mo Wuji, he would have needed to spend more time near the Thunder Fog Forest finding the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Moreover, Mo Wuji was very easy to work with as he did not cause any unnecessary trouble. In fact, he was sometimes of good help too. "Why?" Mo Wuji voice became very cold as he knew his slot to go to Chang Luo was exchanged with the Two-leaved Fire Grass and not out of Han Ning''s kindness. It was like the man who exchanged the spiritual fruit for a chance to be a service disciple. "It is because..." Peng Maohua hesitated and then finally decided to tell him, "It is because little miss was entrusted by someone to bring a very important person over so..." Mo Wuji calmed down and thought it through. Even if Han Ning decided not to bring him to Chang Luo, he had to find a way to go over. He would simply be awaiting death if he did not. "Brother Peng, I want to meet little miss. I want to hear it from her." Mo Wuji said it word by word very audibly. If a lover could stab him from behind, Han Ning, who was not even considered to be his friend, could obviously go back on her word and gratitude for the Two-leaved Fire Grass. "There is no reason why. It is simply because someone from my clan suddenly wants to go towards Chang Luo. There is no other choice but to take your slot. Of course, if you really wish to go, you can crawl under my leg now and I might consider pleading for you," Cao Hao said sarcastically as he widened his legs. It was indeed this brat. Mo Wuji clenched his fist and tried his best to said in a calm manner, "Wherever you go, you give off an unbearable stink. That is how I know you have not met the dung beetle [1]. Go back and ask your father and mother why you stink." "I will murder you," Cao Hao was a classy young man and would not mind if someone of the same stature criticised or mocked him. However, how could he not mind a house attendant like Mo Wuji being this rude to him? The guard beside Cao Hao hurried to hold the furious Cao Hao back, "My Lord, do not do it now. There will be more opportunities when we board the ship." Mo Wuji did not bother about Cao Hao after he scolded him. Instead, he looked at Han Ning who was standing behind Cao Hao, "Little miss, I want to know if this was your intention?" Even if he knew it was her intention, he just needed Han Ning to say it out because he earned this opportunity with his own merit, not by begging her. Han Ning looked guilty for a split second before saying, "Mo Wuji, I am sorry. I did consider the bigger picture previously...How about you just greet Lord Cao respectfully..." Mo Wuji said coldly, "What is a puny Wu Xue State prince to me? You are nowhere near the level I would greet respectfully to. Your father passed me this jade hairpin. You can use it in times of trouble to find Yue Qiongyin in Chang Luo. Just to make things clear, I earned my own opportunity to go with you to Chang Luo, and it was not because of your kindness. I will not ask for the Two-leaved Fire Grass back so we will no longer be related in the future." Mo Wuji took out the jade hairpin which he had kept neatly in a pouch and passed it to Han Ning before laughing, "It is your choice not to keep me, goodbye." Mo Wuji turned away after he finished and as he exited the inn, he thought of something. He recalled that the one who killed Jing Lengbei''s clan, Hei Weifeng, was from Wu Xue State too. If Cao Hao is the Lord of Wu Xue State, he might be related to Hei Weifeng. After he promised to repay Jing''s clan¡¯s kindness for taking care of Mo Xiangtong, he had to take this matter seriously. Han Ning held the jade hairpin tightly as she watched Mo Wuji make his way out. She could not figure out why her father passed him the jade hairpin. "This is the first time I¡¯ve seen a house attendant who was so arrogant. If he was under me, I would have skinned him alive a long time ago," Cao Hao said as he saw Mo Wuji''s backview gradually disappearing. Tuo Baqi, who wanted to ask Mo Wuji a few things, witnessed how Mo Wuji did not even put Cao Hao in his eyes and hence he did not dare to follow him out. He was all alone now so he could not afford to lose his pride to Mo Wuji outside. ... "Wuji, what happened? You look really unhappy," Yuan Zhengyi asked as he saw Mo Wuji returning to the tent. It seemed like Ding Bu''Er had guessed what happened and hence called Yuan Zhenyi over. "I lost my opportunity to go to Chang Luo because I offended Wu Xue State''s Cao Hao. That brat must have had something to use against Han Ning," Mo Wuji said in a disappointed tone. Yuan Zhengyi laughed out loud, "I was still wondering what was so serious. This is nothing. Now that Aunt Eleven has left, you can follow me over to Chang Luo. Aunt Eleven and I followed Chang Yan State''s Wei Yuanhou''s grandson here. Our duty is to protect him till he reaches Chang Luo. Once he has found a sect, we are free to go. I can bring you along, this is not a problem at all." Mo Wuji became ecstatic to hear this. This was indeed like a light at the end of the tunnel. His sole purpose here was not to please Han Ning but to go to Chang Luo. After solving this issue, Mo Wuji, Yuan Zhengyi and Ding Bu''Er went off to drink and celebrate. [1]: Dung beetles are beetles that feed partly or exclusively on dung. Therefore, Mo Wuji is implying that Cao Hao is a form of dung. Chapter 42: Repaying The Saving Grace Chapter 42: Repaying The Saving Grace Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: It might have been because she was guilty, but Han Ning did not look for Mo Wuji, not even to explain herself. Tuo Baqi also settled down. Even though he suspected that Mo Wuji was the one who knocked him out, he did not want to cause any troubles on his way to Chang Luo. On the other hand, Mo Wuji, Yuan Zhenyi and Ding Bu''Er met daily to drink and explore the Makeshift Market. Hearing Yuan Zhenyi''s peculiar stories and experiences with cultivators, Mo Wuji really loosened up. One particular morning, just as Mo Wuji was lifting his tent flap to leave for his daily washing up, he heard a loud rumble. He looked up to see a gigantic ship docked by the seaside and he almost called out in surprise. The deck of the ship alone could fit several football fields. If the rooms and compartments at the centre were included, the ship should have had an estimated area of 100,000 square meters. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air. It was bigger than an aircraft carrier! An aircraft carrier was designed with a huge deck. On the other hand, this ship was designed with large decks surrounding an even larger living quarters, which were at the centre of the ship. These rooms were in layers, just like a modern apartment building. What powers this huge thing? Earth''s aircraft carrier was not as big as this, and it already required nuclear power to power it. There shouldn''t be nuclear power here too, right? "Wuji, you''re scared, right? I also got a huge shock when I first saw it, " Ding Bu''Er''s voice called out. At this moment, Mo Wuji could see that he was not the only one in shock and awe; the seaside was filled with people. "Wuji, quickly pack up and follow me to the ship. Bu''Er, you can follow your little miss up the ship," Yuan Zhenyi said as he walked out from a crowd. Ding Bu''Er understood that he would have to follow Han Ning to get on the ship, "Wuji, Brother Zhenyi, I will go first. We''ll meet at Chang Luo." Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "What Chang Luo? We can meet on the ship itself. There are very few restrictions on this ship; as long as you have money, you can have a very comfortable life on the ship." ... Yuan Zhenyi was protecting a kind-looking noble named Ji Xing. When Mo Wuji followed Yuan Zhenyi up the ship, he only smiled and nodded to Mo Wuji, not saying anything. After an hour, Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi were assigned to a large shared house for 50 people. "Zhenyi, if we stay in this shared house, how will we help if anything happens to Ji Xing?" Mo Wuji was no longer a rookie and he knew how dangerous this ship could be. "He has his personal bodyguard. If anything happens, we just need to hurry and rush over. Actually, guards like us mainly protect the young master from sea demons. I heard that there have been many sea demon attacks on the way to Chang Luo. When that happens, we can rush over and protect him swiftly. After all, he is also on the same level as us. Only the extreme geniuses get to stay at the higher levels. Well, if anything happens, you don''t have to go. Ji Xing understands that you are only borrowing Aunt Eleven''s place to board this ship, and you''re not actually a guard," Yuan Zhenyi explained. Hearing about the sea demons, Mo Wuji became really curious. This ship was so huge, what kind of sea demon would actually dare to attack this ship? Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi were among the last to come, and were assigned beds close to the door. Many people go in and out of the door, making it difficult for it to rest. "Wuji, this ship is different from the beach before. If anyone gets killed here, nothing much will happen to the killer. To avoid anything unfortunate, try not to make conflicts with others," Yuan Zhenyi pulled up his bed next to Mo Wuji and whispered. Hearing Yuan Zhenyi''s words, the neighbouring people also slightly nodded their heads. Mo Wuji did not need Yuan Zhenyi to remind him; he would avoid trouble here to safely get to Chang Luo. Once he reached Chang Luo, there were two important things he needed to do. Firstly, he needed a cultivation technique. Secondly, he needed to find a source of lightning which was not fatal, so that he could open all his body''s meridians. Nearly an hour later, Mo Wuji felt a slight tremor and knew that the ship''s engine had started. "Zhenyi, what powers this ship?" Mo Wuji could not suppress his curiosity and asked. Yuan Zhenyi shook his head, "I''m also not sure. This is also the first time I boarded this ship." "I heard that there''s a powerful immortal master who uses a powerful array to drive this ship. I also heard that it might be some sort of energy source which powers this ship. That energy source is very useful for cultivation and can be traded," a sweet, magnetic female voice sounded over. Mo Wuji turned his head to see that there was a woman sleeping on the bed beside him. She was around 30 years old. Her hair was tied in a tight bundle, her skin was pale white, her facial features were not very outstanding but there''s this beauty about her. Together with her voice, she could be considered a very splendid woman. Mo Wuji subconsciously sat up and asked puzzledly, "There''s co-ed living here?" Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "Why would there be a need to separate the men and women? Being able to stay in this kind of shared house is our good luck!" The woman smiled and also sat up, nodding at Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi, "Greetings, I''m Qin Xiangyu from the Ba Prefecture." When Qin Xiangyu sat up, Mo Wuji found her body to be more perfect than her face. Mo Wuji laughed, "I''m Mo Wuji from Cheng Yu, and this is Yuan Zhenyi from Chang Yan." "Aren''t Chang Yan and Cheng Yu at war? You two..." Yet another person interrupted. This time, it was a youth with light golden hair. Yuan Zhenyi said with a slight disdain, "The war between Chang Yan and Cheng Yu has nothing to do with us." "Wuji..." The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Mo Wuji easily recognised that it was Ding Bu''Er''s voice. Mo Wuji hurriedly got down from his bed and asked, "Bu''Er, what happened... Why is there blood on your body?" After slowing down his pants, Ding Bu''Er hurriedly said, "Some people have acted against the little miss. Peng Maohua and I aren''t strong enough. From the looks of it, those people are looking to kill the little miss..." Mo Wuji furrowed his eyebrows; the ship just started and something like this happened? He did not ask anything further and said, "Come, bring me over." "Wait..." Yuan Zhenyi stopped Mo Wuji. "Wuji, that Han Ning drove you out, and did not even allow you on this ship to Chang Luo. You have nothing to do with her anymore, why do you need to put your feet back into these muddy waters? Furthermore, the help you''ve given her was more than enough to repay her." Mo Wuji said calmly, "Her father may not have intended for it, but he did save my life. Perhaps what I gave her was enough to repay her, but in my heart, a saving grace cannot be repaid through items or money. Now that I know something bad is happening to her, I do not feel comfortable leaving her alone. On the account that the Old Duke saved me, I will help her one more time. After we reach Chang Luo, we can go on our separate paths. Zhenyi, you can wait for me here. Bu''Er, let''s go." Finishing his words, Mo Wuji was prepared to rush out of the shared house. He lived by this principle: Gratitude and grudges must be repaid. The Old Duke''s saving grace would be repaid with another saving grace. Regarding the Two-leaved Fire Grass, Han Ning could take it as a gift. There was also another reason why he had to save Han Ning. He might have been driven out by Han Ning, but Ding Bu''Er was still under her. He might not need to save her, but he needed to rescue Ding Bu''Er. Helping Han Ning was the same as helping Ding Bu''Er. Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "Aren''t we brothers? If you''re going, then I''m going too. Let''s go!" Chapter 43: Mo Wuji’s Power Chapter 43: Mo Wuji¡¯s Power Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Han Ning was a main participant of the Spring Immortal''s Gate so she stayed in a slightly better 2-man room. Still, her room was on the same floor as Mo Wuji''s shared house. "Bang!" The sound of a large impact on the door resounded. Mo Wuji could clearly some blood flowing out the gap below the door. "Bi Hui, do you still have a sense of shame? You are a State Prince but you actually lowered yourself to rob me?" Han Ning said grievously. "Aiyo... This is indeed too low for me. Ferguson, do you want to commit suicide to appease this little miss?" A shrill voice could be heard behind the door. When Mo Wuji heard the voice, he felt goose bumps all over his body. Was this guy a eunuch? What followed was another voice, "Haha, then I will just kill myself. Look, I''m placing the knife on my neck. Aiyo, I died..." "I''m going in first..." Ding Bu''Er said as he pushed the door open forcefully. "Pu!" The sound of a meeting of a knife and flesh could be heard, and someone fell on the ground. Mo Wuji could see a man slumped in a pool of blood. The knife in his hand had pierced through his throat. In an instant, Mo Wuji understood what had happened. This guy pretended to kill himself and placed his knife on his neck. Little did he know that Ding Bu''Er would suddenly push the door open and that the door would strike the knife. The act actually became a reality. Besides this guy, Mo Wuji also saw Peng Maohua lying on the ground, one of his arms had been cut off. Han Ning and Shao Lan were also covered with blood, and they were forced into a corner by two men. A handsome man, with a long moustache, looked at his dead underling in shock. "Who are you guys? You dare kill my man?" The moustached man finally came to his senses and cried out. Mo Wuji almost covered his ears. He did not think that this handsome man, who looked handsome and manly, would actually have such a shrill and sharp voice. From what he could make out, this man must be the State Prince Bi Hui. At the same time, he did not see Han Ning''s group mates, Cao Hao, Yang Junsong and Zhao Xu. "Bang!" Yuan Zhenyi, who entered the room last, shut the door forcefully. Even though he knew that immortal masters would not pursue this matter, it was not something for people to know. "Bu''Er, help bandage Chief Guard Peng''s wounds," Seeing Peng Maohua struggling on the floor, Mo Wuji flusteredly instructed. Ever since he killed a man, Mo Wuji was more cold and calm when facing these kinds of things. Seeing Ding Bu''Er take out a healing drug for the struggling Peng Maohua, Mo Wuji walked to the front of the moustached man and said, "I''m Mo Wuji from Rao Zhou." Mo Wuji did not need to continue speaking for the moustached man to know why Mo Wuji was helping Han Ning. From the looks of it, Mo Wuji was definitely Han Ning''s guard. "I am the Sixteenth Prince of the Yin Han State, Bi Hui. Are you sure you want to go against me?" THe moustached man calmed down and said with his shrill voice. Mo Wuji laughed, "I''ve already killed one of your men. What do you think?" "If you choose to leave now and ignore this matter, I will no longer pursue this matter. I could even invite you to join my Yin Han State," Bi Hui said quietly, trying to make his tone sound gentle and warm. He could determine that Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi were people he could easily deal with, especially Yuan Zhenyi who was standing at the back. Before Mo Wuji could speak, Yuan Zhenyi blurted out, "Yin Han State is only a piece of sh*t! I can consider joining you if your state lord licks my feet." Bi Hui''s face instantly turned dark. He turned towards the two men cornering Han Ning and said, "Jody, teach them a lesson." A man with a face full of black spots responded. He spun the knife in his hand as he walked towards Mo Wuji. "Wuji, step back. I will teach this kid a lesson." Yuan Zhenyi had never seen Mo Wuji''s abilities but he could guess that Mo Wuji was probably not strong enough to deal with Jody. Mo Wuji''s hand went into his pocket; a foot long knife appeared in his hand. "Zhenyi, let me go first. Only help me if I''m losing." Ultimately, Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi would not always be together. Eventually, there would be things Mo Wuji needed to deal with by himself. Like for today, Mo Wuji would still save Han Ning even if Yuan Zhenyi did not follow him. While Mo Wuji was speaking, Jody had already started pointed his machete towards Mo Wuji. In his eyes, these three additional people were simply three more people for him to kill, and he could probably kill them easily. Mo Wuji did not cultivate, but he had some fighting experience. His knife was short; naturally, he needed to draw closer to Jody. As Jody was swinging his machete, Mo Wuji had already took a huge step forward and rushed towards Jody. He used his knife to parry Jody''s machete and used his other fist to punch Jody''s head. "Dang!" When the two blades met, Mo Wuji could see a fine blue light flow from his palm to his knife, and then towards Jody''s blade. "Peng!" Mo Wuji''s other fist struck at Jody''s temple. Jody became like a lifeless piece of rock, crashing down heavily. Mo Wuji shocked himself. He was so impressive? Mo Wuji was expecting Jody bring his head down to avoid Mo Wuji''s fist, and Mo Wuji would then knee him fiercely in the face. But he did not need to do that much; Jody was already knocked down. He subconsciously looked at his fist, and also saw that Jody''s machete hand was a little charred. Mo Wuji suddenly remembered that flash of blue light, which actually reminded him if the lightning he encountered in the lightning lake. Thinking about this, Mo Wuji instantly understood. After borrowing the power of the lightning bolts to open his meridian, there was some lightning essence left behind in his meridian. No wonder why Jody looked blank when Mo Wuji was punching him, and did not try to avoid Mo Wuji''s fist. Jody probably got stunned by the lightning flash from Mo Wuji''s knife. This was why Mo Wuji''s attack succeeded. "Zhu Teng, pick Jody and Ferguson up, We''re leaving!" Bi Hui immediately called out. He knew that his remaining man was not enough to deal Han Ning''s guards. Mo Wuji did not block them. Yuan Zhenyi was here to help Mo Wuji. Seeing that Mo Wuji did not stop Bi Hui, he naturally did not do so as well. Bi Hui, who had the living daylight scared out of him, ran out of Han Ning''s room at top speed. "Wuji, I did not know you were so impressive. No wonder why you could survive a night in the Thunder Fog Forest," Ding Bu''Er cried out in surprise. He did not even remember to help bandage Peng Maohua. Yuan Zhenyi also had a face of delight. He did not know that Mo Wuji was so strong. He knew that he could deal with Jody, but probably not with a single punch. "Drug Refiner Mo, I am truly grateful. I am terribly sorry for what I''ve done before," Han Ning was ashamed. When she was in greatest danger, her companions who asked her to drive Mo Wuji out did not appear. Instead, it was Mo Wuji who appeared to help her. Mo Wuji said calmly, "Old Duke Han saved my life before. You can regard my actions today as repaying my debt to him. Once we reach Chang Luo, we will each go our separate ways.¡± "That Bi Hui was here to snatch our Two-leaved Fire Grass. How did he know that we have some Two-leaved Fire Grass..." Peng Maohua had already woken up, and said hoarsely. Chapter 44: Surrounded By Sea Beasts Chapter 44: Surrounded By Sea Beasts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Now, you have paid what you owed her. There''s nothing on you right now," Yuan Zhenyi laughed and said, after they left Han Ning''s room. Mo Wuji laughed but did not speak. He saw Cao Hao and Yang Junsong hurriedly walking in their direction. But Mo Wuji could see through the anxiousness in their eyes, and tell that they were only putting on a show. Cao Hao looked at Mo Wuji, and his eyes fleeted with killing intent. On the other hand, Yang Junsong was full of smiles as he greeted Mo Wuji, "Drug Refiner Mo, long time no see." Mo Wuji had no interest interacting with this venomous snake and this smiling tiger. He was too lazy to respond to them as he said to Yuan Zhenyi, "I do not owe her anything; she owes me. The person I owe my life to is her father. He entrusted her to me, so I would try my best to help her on this path to Chang Luo." Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "Wuji, this is one thing I appreciate about you. Perhaps it''s due to your personality that we can become such good friends." ¡­. In the shared house, a monkey faced man walked in and said in an exaggerated manner, "You guys are all wrong! Indeed, it was that Bi Hui from Yin Han State who acted. But the people who ran out with their tails in between their legs weren''t the people who left the shared house but Bi Hui and his men. I even saw them carrying two unconscious men. They were probably overwhelmingly defeated." "Those two people are so strong? But Bi Hui is a state prince,¡± the golden haired youth from before said in shock. As a state was a level higher than a prefecture, the state prince''s guard should naturally be better. With just two people, they managed to defeat their opponents? "Maybe after they went in, Bi Hui''s men were outnumbered..." ... The voice stopped abruptly. This was because, at this moment, the door opened, and Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi entered. Although the two of them were clean, but the people in the shared house felt something different about them. People stopped talking and people started whispering. Over the next few days, the shared house was extremely quiet. Except for the occasional restlessness whenever the women entered a tent to change their clothes, everyone minded their own business and there were no conflicts. Initially, the shared house was really noisy. However, the shared house had become rather quiet which made Mo Wuji quite satisfied. He met a few good people in the shared house. Besides the gentle Qin Xiangyu, he also made friends with the talkative golden haired youth, Yuan Zhi, and a man called Tang Boxian. Tang Boxian looked like a scholar, just that he did not wear glasses. Half a month quickly passed. During this time, Ding Bu''Er frequently came to visit. Han Ning''s maidservant, Shao Lan also came once to thank Mo Wuji. In addition, there were no longer any calls for help. Mo Wuji spent the days in an extremely relaxed manner; he was either inquiring about all kinds of knowledge about cultivation or trying to learn about the lightning essence in his meridians. However, he never felt the lightning essence again. He even tried competing with Yuan Zhenyi but he did not manage to stimulate the lightning essence. He even suspected that the previous flash was like the Six Pulse Holy Sword [1], and could only be used intermittently. Because there was no one here who understood cultivation, and his lightning attack was related to his channel opening solution, Mo Wuji could only bury this issue in this heart. There was one thing, however, which made him dissatisfied. As everyone in the shared house got familiar with one another, the environment was no longer as quiet. Some people started gambling and they often bustled for a long time. This made Mo Wuji feel really helpless. He understood that the other shared houses were noisier, but he was still not used to this noisy environment. On this day, Mo Wuji still did not have any gains after working for half a day. Yuan Zhi hastily entered the shared house and cried, "Big Bro Yuan, Big Bro Mo, I just got some big news! I heard that there will be an auction on the second floor. Even some cultivation manuals are being auctioned..." Mo Wuji who was concentrating on feeling the lightning essence within his body immediately opened his eyes. Cultivation manual? Wasn''t this what he was dreaming for? "Just a servant..actually coveting the things sold in the auction..." A red robed man walked in and said disdainfully. The man suddenly stopped talking abruptly, as he saw something which caught his eye. There was a a shirt hung by Qin Xiangyu''s bed, and her bed was currently being covered by a small tent. Ostensibly, there was someone changing inside. He did not hesitate; he rushed over and tore open Qin Xiangyu''s tent. "What do you want?" Qin Xiangyu raged. Fortunately, she had already finished changing her clothes. "What a beautiful woman. This figure... I like it! You don''t have to live here anymore, come with me..." The red robed man laughed cheekily as he raised his hands to grab Qin Xiangyu. With a flick of her left hand, a gush of wind rushed by, followed by a purple blur. The red robed man cried out in shock and quickly retreated. He retreated towards the direction of Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji did not hesitate to kick him fiercely. The man was getting ready to pounce at Qin Xiangyu again but he did not expect that Mo Wuji would have acted against him. This man was not bad; despite the momentum and inertia, he twisted his body to land in the open space between two beds. He casually pointed at Mo Wuji and said, "Who are you?" Mo Wuji''s hand flashed as he quickly pulled out the knife tied to his leg. Yuan Zhenyi also stood up and stood beside Mo Wuji. Qin Xiangyu also came over, in her hands, was a purple soft spear. Was this really a shared house? The red robed man even thought he walked into the wrong place. These were all servants... Why are they all so aggressive? He had been to other shared houses and no one ever dared to treat him like this. Just as he was about to call out for his subordinates, the boat started shaking violently. Everyone looked out the window in shock, forgetting about the current confrontation. This giant ship had been sailing for a good half a month, and there had never been such a violent shaking. Just as people were wondering about their predicament, a vigorous voice resounded in everyone''s ears, "Our ship is currently being attacked! Members of the ''Spring Sea'' Unit, please bring your weapons and report to the main deck immediately! There shall be no delays; anyone who reaches late will be thrown into the sea!" Hearing this, the red robed man no longer cared to question Mo Wuji as he turned and rushed out of the shared house. The boat''s shaking got increasingly vigorous and forceful. Yuan Zhenyi anxiously said, "Wuji, we''re probably being attacked by sea beasts. Let''s go!" At this moment, the shared house inhabitants all grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the main deck. When Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi reached the main deck, their jaws immediately dropped; Mo Wuji had never seen such a large surge of sea beasts. The enormous ''Spring Sea'' was surrounded by beasts from all directions. These sea beasts had six limbs, with short and sharp barbs growing on their backs. As the sun shone on their thick scales, a deep sea-blue colour was reflected, making them look thick and menacing. What made Mo Wuji even more surprised was when these sea beasts started to spit out lightning, just like the electric eels on Earth. A few people failed to dodge the lightning, and their whole bodies start twitching spasmodically and they fell to the ground. If they were hit by a second lightning, they would be dead. However, these six-footed beasts weren''t their only opponents; there were also some toad like creatures attacking the Spring Sea. These creatures had extremely long tongues; one of them used its long tongue to wrap around a person''s sword, pull it back into its mouth, and swallow it. "We have encountered a Six-footed Lightning Crocodile horde! Do not let them set any of their six dirty feet on this ship! Remember, their weakness is at the bottom of their throats. Other parts of their bodies are as hard as iron, so only attack under their throats..." A robust middle man shouted out as he jumped out from the third floor. While he was speaking, his knife flashed about and two of the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles were dissected into four pieces. Mo Wuji saw what happened clearly; this dude did not attack the bottom of the crocodiles'' throats. Looking at his abilities, he''s definitely an immortal master. A few agonised screams could be heard. Mo Wuji could smell a burning, charred smell. As he turned his head, he saw a Six-footed Lightning Crocodile pouncing towards him. At the same time, a lightning bolt quickly raced towards him. [1] The Six Pulse Holy Sword was Duan Yu''s killing move. Duan Yu is one of the MCs of Jin Yong''s Demi-gods and Semi-devils. Chapter 45: Ballsy Chapter 45: Ballsy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The thing that Mo Wuji was least afraid of was lightning; he did not even bother to dodge the lightning bolt as he directly used his knife to stab the crocodile''s forehead. "Dang!" Mo Wuji almost thought that his knife stabbed a piece of steel, there were even sparks when his knife met the crocodile. Fortunately, this knife he got from Hu Fei was not bad; it did not even bend under the pressure. "Pa!" The lightning landed harshly on Mo Wuji''s chest. Mo Wuji could feel a hot searing pain spreading throughout his body. After experiencing that near death crisis in the lightning lake, Mo Wuji was no longer a rookie. He immediately controlled that lightning to enter his second meridian to break apart the clog. It might have been be due to luck, but the lightning took the initiative to burn the clog. The searing pain rushed towards Mo Wuji''s second meridian. Without a sound, Mo Wuji could faintly feel that part of the obstruction had been burnt off. While all this was taking place within his meridians, Mo Wuji immediately retreated and climbed to higher ground. This wasn''t like the lightning lake; this was a place infested with sea beasts. If he lay on the floor, he would either be killed by the sea beasts, or trampled to death. What came to him as a pleasant surprise was that the lightning bolts were gentler than the those in the lightning lake. Fighting with these crocodiles was dangerous, but it was also an opportunity. If he was careful, he could very well open his second meridian. On the other hand, the lightning crocodile was a little shocked. Its deadly lightning actually failed to kill Mo Wuji. After a brief moment of inaction, it rushed towards Mo Wuji again, now with a greater vengeance. Seemingly, it was bitter and infuriate that Mo Wuji was not affected by its attack. Yet another lightning bolt raced towards Mo Wuji. This time, Mo Wuji was smarter. He knew he wasn''t like that immortal master; he could not simply slice the lightning crocodile into four parts. He probably couldn''t even slice it into two parts. It was hard to even leave a mark on the crocodile''s hard scales. Mo Wuji continued to ignore that lightning bolt. In fact, he wasn''t even fast enough to avoid it. When the lightning arrived together with the crocodile, Mo Wuji immediately used the knife in his hands to stab at the crocodile''s throat. That immortal master was right; Mo Wuji''s knife could pierce the crocodile''s throat. The knife met with some resistance but it was different from stabbing a hard steel plate like before. Red blood splurted out onto Mo Wuji''s arm, causing half of his body to be stained bloody red. The lightning crocodile cried out, and sent out countless lightning flashes to converge onto Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s body became riddled with scars, even his hair was charred black. Yet another sensation of pain; Mo Wuji felt like his body was being cut into small pieces, and his body trembled endlessly. On the other hand, the lightning crocodile did not seem to be affected by the blood spurting out of its throat as it pounced angrily towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had thoroughly infuriated this Six-footed Lightning Crocodile. The pain he felt was not for nothing. Mo Wuji could feel that his second meridian was opening wider. Mo Wuji bit his tongue, using his steadfast determination to force himself to stand up. At the same time, he opened a bottle of the channel opening solution and put it into his mouth. The surrounding people started to retreat. Mo Wuji did not kill the lightning crocodile, and only managed to anger it. No one was willing to bear the brunt of the crocodile''s anger. Not only did Mo Wuji not retreat, he endured the excruciating pain as he pounced towards the lightning crocodile. Anyone who saw Mo Wuji would think of the same thing: This guy is mad! Under such heavy injuries, he did not retreat but chose to face the lightning crocodile. Was he crazy? Even if he was looking for death, he should not look for such a painful method. "Pa, Pa..." Two more electro-balls landed on Mo Wuji''s chest. At the same time, Mo Wuji''s knife also made its way to the crocodile''s throat. The second meridian continued to be opened by the lightning. The crocodile''s gaping wound also became bigger. The lightning crocodile had incredible vitality. Despite being stabbed twice, it still crazily rushed towards Mo Wuji. Experiencing near death crises before, Mo Wuji was able to stay calm. He continued to drink another bottle of the channel opening solution and thrust out his knife. After three times, Mo Wuji''s whole body was completely stained with blood. He didn''t even know whether the blood was his or the crocodile''s. Every time he was hit by the electro-balls, he stubbornly stood back up, drinking the channel opening solution and stabbing out his knife. This became a cycle: Mo Wuji stabbed the crocodile, the crocodile sent lightning flashes or electro-balls towards Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji drank the channel opening solution, Mo Wuji stabbed the crocodile... The surrounding people looked in shock. This lightning crocodile had incredible vitality, but this little servant had more! These two fellows seemed to be competing in their vitality and perseverance; the one who could no longer stand the pain became the loser. This servant definitely wasn''t crazy. How could a crazy person last for so long? If not for the large numbers of lightning crocodiles, these people would have stopped to see the battle between Mo Wuji and the lightning crocodile. Ultimately, the crocodile was still made of flesh and blood. After being stabbed by Mo Wuji for close to ten times, its huge 3m long body collapsed on the deck. The moment the crocodile collapsed, Mo Wuji felt his entire body being relieved. His second meridian was finally opened. Mo Wuji''s hands started to tremble; he did not know whether this was due to him using excessive force, or his sheer excitement from opening his second meridian. As he almost got killed by the lightning crocodile and felt a hellish amount of pain, he also received a new life. This kind of results earned from hardship, made Mo Wuji cherish them more. With two meridians opened, Mo Wuji''s whole body felt relieved but extremely fatigued. He needed to rest for a while. The scene of Mo Wuji bravely using his little life to kill the lightning crocodile remained vividly in everyone''s mind. Seemingly inspired by Mo Wuji''s heroic drive, more people started to bravely confront the lightning crocodiles. Countless people were killed, but countless lightning crocodiles were killed as well. After killing that crocodile, it was only normal for Mo Wuji to sit down and rest. In fact, it would be weird if he didn''t. But what made everyone go into disbelief was that after resting for a short quarter of an hour, Mo Wuji drank his solution and rushed towards another lightning crocodile. A few people looked at Mo Wuji in shock. Was this guy mad? Or was he just ballsy? With his previous performance, no one would blame him if he chose to retreat from the fight. In fact, his act of heroism might even get him the recognition of an immortal master. Mo Wuji wasn''t mad; he was very clear that this was a rare opportunity. He had his channel opening solution, and there was such an abundant source of lightning to help him open his meridians. Wouldn''t he be an idiot if he did not grab this opportunity? His sharp knife stabbed into the crocodile''s throat. Angry and infuriated, the crocodile pounced at Mo Wuji and spit out an electro-ball. The scene replayed itself. Mo Wuji was constantly being struck by the lightning flashes or electro-balls, he drank some solution and fought again. Over and over, the cycle continued. Mo Wuji was never discouraged. "This guy is ballsy..." Some distance away, a young woman saw Mo Wuji''s actions and praised in surprise. A young man beside her laughed, "He''s just reckless, pitting his life against the sea demon''s... Well, you can''t blame him. He has never cultivated nor made any contact with martial arts. He can only resort to this barbaric method." [TL NOTE] Hi readers! We''re starting a Twitter to interact with all of you! So do follow us at SparrowWorks_ , let''s read this together eh Chapter 46: Killing With Borrowed Lightning Chapter 46: Killing With Borrowed Lightning Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Bang!" Mo Wuji was once again sent flying by the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile, but this time, he did not get back up. After sending Mo Wuji flying off, the lightning crocodile also slumped to the ground, never to rise again. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. With just one or two more lightning strikes, he might be able to open his third meridian. Unfortunately, his body was too weak, and he could no longer carry on. If the surrounding people knew that Mo Wuji was complaining that his body was too weak, they would probably strangle him. In actuality, ever since Mo Wuji opened his first meridian, his body was tempered under the lightning lake, which caused his physical strength to be above average. If not for that, he would not have lasted for so long. "Swallow this spiritual pill," an indifferent voice sounded in Mo Wuji''s ear. Mo Wuji looked around but he did not see anyone near him who might have been speaking to him. In his hands, was a pill. The pill was a little bigger than a bean, and there was a pleasant fragrance from it. Mo Wuji did not hesitate and directly put the spiritual pill into his mouth. If this expert wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he did not need to waste this pill. He could simply have ended Mo Wuji''s life there and then. Furthermore, the mere aroma of this pill invigorated Mo Wuji, it definitely was not something bad. The moment the pill entered his mouth, it felt like there were multiple cold springs emerging in Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji could clearly feel his damage subsiding. In just a few seconds, Mo Wuji could easily stand up. He noticed that his skin, which was charred and scarred, was surprisingly in the process of healing. Compared this this kind of spiritual pill, his experience as biologist seemed like trash. If not for his experience allowing him to refine the Channel Opening Solution, he would be useless. The sounds of lightning and screams of pain could be heard in the distance. Mo Wuji slapped himself to his senses. This was a vicious battle. The immortal master who passed him the pill surely did not want him to stay at the sidelines. Moreover, he also did not want to watch by the sides. Drinking another bottle of channel opening solution, Mo Wuji once again charged to the front. "Ka!" The moment Mo Wuji rushed forward, a lightning bolt landed on his chest. However, Mo Wuji had largely recovered and this flash of lightning actually did not send him flying. With a thrust of his knife, he accurately stabbed this crocodile''s throat. As he pulled the knife out, a gush of blood splurted out. Countless lightning flashes landed on Mo Wuji''s body, but he seemingly did not care as he continued to stab the crocodile with the knife in his hands. "Ka Ka..." The moment the lightning landed on his body, the clear, crisp sound of his meridian opening rang out. This sound was accompanied by the waves of pleasure; the feeling was simply too wonderful. Mo Wuji even felt like he could fly and touch the sky. He knew that this was just a false impression, but the comfort from opening his third meridian inundated him. He did not hesitate to stab the crocodile once more. At the same time, his hand went into his pocket. He searched for a brief moment, only to come way empty; Mo Wuji had completely depleted his channel opening solution. In Mo Wuji''s mind, there was only one thought: This means I can''t open more meridians... "Pa... Ka...." Two more lightning flashes landed on Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji immediately retreated. Without anymore channel opening solution, he was no longer willing to be struck by the crocodile''s lightning. He was not a fool. As Mo Wuji retreated, the enraged and bloodied crocodile rushed to give chase. Mo Wuji had accumulated some experience from fighting these lightning crocodiles; they fight with a vengeance. If he did not kill this Six-footed Lightning Crocodile now, he would not be able to make a full retreat. Determined, Mo Wuji no longer retreated. He thrusted his knife and pierced the crocodile''s throat. At the same time, he saw a red figure running towards him. Behind him, was an angry lightning crocodile. This fella probably infuriated this lightning crocodile. Seeing Mo Wuji, the red figure called out in fright, "Friend, please save me! I will get you unimaginable riches and glory..." With Mo Wuji''s ability, saving this fella was as easy as flipping him palm. He just needed to block the oncoming lightning and this fella would have the chance of surviving. If it was anyone else, Mo Wuji would not hesitate to save him. However, after noticing who that fella was, Mo Wuji was enraged. He was the red robed man who ripped Qin Xiangyu''s tent apart. If not for this sea beast attack, something bad might have happened to Qin Xiangyu. "Hurry and save him..." Just as Mo Wuji was about to turn his back and run away, an anxious voice called out to him. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. He acted as though he did not hear the voice and he shifted his body to the side. At this instant, the crocodile chasing after him pounced towards him. He had never avoided any crocodile''s attack before, but he somehow managed to do so this time around. "Pa pa, poof..." The two lightning crocodile''s bolts landed on the red robed man. The red robed man was already heavily injured. He could no longer hold on, and he fell to the ground. The lightning crocodile which was chasing after him pounced on his body, crushing his throat. His eyes no longer showed any signs of life. "You''re looking for death..." A silhouette came flying over, landing by Mo Wuji''s side, throwing a punch towards him. As the punch was launched, Mo Wuji felt a powerful, overwhelming force. This force filled Mo Wuji''s heart with horror; the power behind it was too strong. "Shao Feng, are you looking for death? Don''t think that who can do as you please just because you''re from the Jade Net Sect. This is not a place where you can freely kill people," a cold snort sounded. A middle aged man with an indifferent expression landed behind Mo Wuji. The moment those words were uttered, the incoming powerful force also disappeared without a trace. This voice was very familiar; it was the voice of the person who gave him the spiritual pill. Mo Wuji was about to express his gratitude when another bright light flashed by. Under this bright light, the lightning crocodile Mo Wuji was fighting with was sliced into two pieces. In fact, it wasn''t just one lightning crocodile, but two. "Shao Feng, you''re too much! This performance of this junior here was so heroic. He pitted his life to battle the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile. On the other hand, you were just looking by the side. Now you want to indiscriminately kill him?" Another silhouette landed. This time, it was a beautiful woman in a yellow dress. She had silky hair and snow-like skin. If not for the coldness in her eyes, her beauty would have increased by three points. "Senior Qin, junior apprentice sister Wan, you heard what happened. I asked him to save Huo Zhenghu, but he didn''t do so. Furthermore, he timed his dodge so that both the lightning bolts would land on Huo Zhenghu," the man called Shao Feng said with a frown. [TL NOTE] Hi readers! We''re starting a Twitter to interact with all of you! So do follow us at SparrowWorks_ , let''s read this together eh Chapter 47: Luo Hai Merchant House Contribution Points Chapter 47: Luo Hai Merchant House Contribution Points Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The yellow dressed woman sneered, "Shao Feng, he has never cultivated, and his martial arts is also very weak. He was able to kill two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles, depending desperately on his healing solution and his cruel ruthlessness. Do you think he could actually save your friend from two of those crocodiles?" "Junior apprentice sister Wan''Er, I did not mean..." Shao Feng frowned and stuttered to explain himself. The yellow dressed woman waved her hand, "Shao Feng, call me Qu Wan''Er. I am not your junior apprentice sister. You are from the Jade Net Sect, I am from the Heavenly Temple. We are from different sects. Since that''s the case, I will talk to you as a friend. As a talented disciple from a big sect, you should be more lenient and tolerant. In this aspect, Senior Hou Yucheng is a lot better than you." Shao Feng''s face turned angry, "Don''t compare me to that b*astard." The yellow dressed woman did not continue speaking. Mo Wuji was about to thank the Immortal Master Qin and the yellow dressed woman, but a burst of shouting came over. Mo Wuji subconsciously looked back, and saw that the dense crocodile and toad horde had been pushed back. On the deck, only a heavy scent of blood and several corpses all over the place remained. Some of these corpses were the crocodiles, some were the passengers. The dead passengers were all charred lightning. On the other hand, only a few of the lightning crocodiles were actually killed by stabs to the throat. Most of them were actually cut into two halves. Mo Wuji did not need to ask to know that most of them were killed by immortal masters. "Wuji, are you alright?" After the lightning crocodiles were forced to retreat, Yuan Zhenyi immediately ran to find Mo Wuji. Previously, he was forced to separate from Mo Wuji. It was already hard for him to protect himself, much less divert his attention to look out for Mo Wuji. "I''m okay. How about Bu''Er?" Mo Wuji asked with a hint of worry. "Wuji, Brother Zhenyi, I''m fine," Ding Bu''Er called over. His body was also charred black. It looked like it really wasn''t easy for him to have survived that attack. "Immortal Masters, thank you for helping us," Seeing that both Yuan Zhenyi and Ding Bu''Er were alright, Mo Wuji turned and bowed to Immortal Master Qin and the yellow dressed woman. The yellow dressed woman nodded her head, but did not say a word. On the other hand, the immortal master surnamed Qin stared at Mo Wuji for a while, and said, "Your performance just now was not bad. You can apply for a single room." Mo Wuji quickly replied, "Thank you immortal master, but I''m living well in the shared house." Mo Wuji had somehow offended that Shao Feng. Mo Wuji had no means of protecting himself against an expert like Shao Feng. If he stayed by himself in the single room, he might be killed and no one would even know what happened. At least it would be safer in the large shared house. Immortal Master Qin did not press on. Instead, he asked, "How are your spiritual roots?" Mo Wuji said self-deprecatingly, "I had it tested once before. My spiritual roots are very weak, they are no better than mortal roots." Mo Wuji was definitely lying. He did not test for his spiritual roots once, but twice. Furthermore, his spiritual roots weren''t weak, they weren''t there at all. He was a plain mortal with mortal roots. Mo Wuji did not say that to impress Immortal Master Qin so that he would be invited to join Immortal Master Qin''s sect. He was afraid that he might actually have spiritual roots now that he had opened three meridians. Thus, he said that to leave himself a backdoor. When Immortal Master Qin heard Mo Wuji''s words, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He shook his head before he turned and jumped away, instantly disappearing without a trace. With Mo Wuji''s perseverance and determination, he would have been a good seedling to nurture. However, a good seedling still needed to cultivate. Without spiritual roots, Mo Wuji was just a mere mortal. His perseverance could only get him so far. The yellow dressed woman''s eyes also revealed a trace of regret. Afterwards, she also turned and left. Shao Feng did not stay to trouble Mo Wuji. Instead, he quickly followed the yellow dressed woman. The whole deck was filled with fresh blood. Some people have already started cleaning the bodies. Mo Wuji roughly estimated, there were at least two thousand people who died. In just one attack, so many had died. If there continued to have more attacks, then less than half of the passengers on this ship would actually reach Chang Luo. Mo Wuji suddenly understood why no one carried out their private vengeances on this ship. If there were more people on this ship, then their chances of surviving a sea beast attack would also be higher. Except for the strong immortal masters, everyone here could die at any moment. "Wuji, your injuries aren''t light ah," Yuan Zhenyi worriedly said the moment Immortal Master Qin and co. left. He saw that Mo Wuji''s body was drenched in blood, and Mo Wuji''s body was also charred all over. As a result, he thought that Mo Wuji was heavily injured. However, Mo Wuji knew that his injuries weren''t actually very heavy. This was due to spiritual pill which Immortal Master Qin gave him. "Zhenyi, I''m fine. We''ll talk when we get back." At this moment, a brown robed man called out to Mo Wuji. "Please wait! May I ask, are you Mo Wuji from the 32nd Shared House from Chang Yan State?" [1] Mo Wuji looked at the brown robed man in surprise; he did not even know this person. However, this brown robed man was different; he had a book in his hands, which he seemed to be looking at for details. "Yes, I''m Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji nodded his head and answered doubtfully. The brown robed man looked up from his book, as he smiled and said, "That''s good. I am a personnel from the Luo Hai Merchant House. Just now, you killed two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. I believe that it will not be convenient for you to always be carrying their corpses with you wherever you go, right? Our conpany is actually interested in buying them. Would you prefer your payment in gold coins, or in our Luo Hai Merchant House contribution points?" What? The lightning crocodiles belonged to whoever killed them? Not the immortal masters of this ship? Oh right, the immortal masters probably wouldn''t care much about low-leveled beasts like the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. "Wuji, you actually killed two of those lightning crocodiles? Yuan Zhenyi looked at Mo Wuji in short. Ever since Mo Wuji defeated the guard from Yin Han State within a single exchange, Yuan Zhenyi knew that Mo Wuji had some moves under his sleeves. However, even when he overestimated Mo Wuji, he would never have expected Mo Wuji to kill two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "That''s right, I killed two of those lightning crocodiles just now." Mo Wuji then turned to the brown robed man and asked, "Senior, may I enquire more about the Luo Hai Merchant House contribution points?" The brown robed man quickly said, "Luo Hai Merchant House''s customers are either individual or regular customers. There 5 grades for regular customers, which are orange, green, blue, indigo and purple, in an ascending order. As long as you purchase anything from Luo Hai Merchant House, you can sign up for our orange card. These cards can accumulate points, and when you get sufficient points, you can upgrade your card. Brother Mo killed two lightning crocodiles. We are willing to pay you 20 thousand gold coins. Alternatively, we can also offer you 200 Luo Hai Merchant House contribution points." 20 thousand gold coins was considered a large amount for an average person. However, it did not mean much to Mo Wuji. He immediately asked, "What can the contribution points be used for? The brown robed man laughed and said, "Our contribution points can be exchanged for anything within our store. Cultivation manuals, pills, even spiritual tools can be exchanged..." "I want contribution points!" Mo Wuji did not wait for the brown robed man to finish talking. The moment he heard ''cultivation manuals'', he did not hesitate to choose contribution points. He continued to ask, "How many contribution points would it take to exchange for a cultivation manual?" The brown robed man''s tone became serious, "Well, that would depend on the grade. The lowest graded ones could be around a thousand or even ten thousand contribution points. The highest graded ones could not even be bought even if you had a million contribution points." Mo Wuji sighed. He desperately fought to kill those two lightning crocodiles, but they were only worth 200 contribution points. Even getting the lowest grade cultivation manual would be a pipe dream. "Then may I ask how I can earn more contribution points?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. The brown robed man answered, "There are many ways. You can exchange spiritual ingredients, ores, pills, or even complete assignments. All these can be exchanged for contribution points." [1] Please note that Mo Wuji is currently acting as an attendant of Ji Xing who was from the Chang Yan State. [TL NOTE] Hi readers! We''re starting a Twitter to interact with all of you! So do follow us at SparrowWorks_ , let''s read this together eh Chapter 48: The Royal Capital Chang Luo Chapter 48: The Royal Capital Chang Luo Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After obtaining 200 contribution points, Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi returned to the shared house. When Mo Wuji returned, he found that out of the original 50 inhabitants, there were at most 30 people left. In just one sea beast attack, 40% of the people in this room were gone. The atmosphere in the room was tense. The moment Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi entered, almost everyone stood up. Their faces revealed an expression of respect and awe; they clearly knew about Mo Wuji''s wildness and ruthlessness. Single-handedly killing two lightning crocodiles: This was a feat which, besides the immortal masters, only the extremely powerful martial artists could do. "What does this mean?" Mo Wuji looked puzzledly at everyone. "Brother Mo, you really killed two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles?" The refined and gentle-looking Tang Boxian stepped forward and asked. He had a trace of disbelief in his eyes. He only took the initiative to ask as his relationship with Mo Wuji was not bad. Mo Wuji laughed, "That was just luck. Oh right, where''s Yuan Zhi?" Tang Boxian''s expression immediately sunk, "Yuan Zhi will not be coming back." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. People really needed luck. In terms of wit and agility, Tang Boxian could not compare to Yuan Zhi. Alas, Yuan Zhi was gone, but Tang Boxian returned safe and sound. Initially, when the people in the shared house heard of the news on Mo Wuji, they were all discussing in disbelief. However, after hearing Mo Wuji personally confirming the news, the room quietened down again. "Thank you Big Brother Mo..." Qin Xiangyu, who was already in her tent, suddenly came out and bowed towards Mo Wuji; her tone held deep gratitude and admiration. Mo Wuji knew that she must have seen his plot on the red robed man. He nodded towards her, before facing and speaking to the crowd, "I need to rest. I believe all of us do. Please try your best not to make so much noise." In the shared house, Mo Wuji''s words were like the imperial edict. After hearing his words, everyone went back to their own spots to rest. The whole room became quieter than before, and whenever people spoke, they would choose to whisper. Everyone knew, that this was not due to the 20 less people in the share house, but it was due to Mo Wuji''s preference for silence. ... It might be due to Qu Wan''Er''s warnings, or the fact that Mo Wuji was not even worth his time, that Shao Feng did not come to cause trouble for Mo Wuji. After understanding the price of cultivation manuals, Mo Wuji no longer intended to take part in the auction. The tens of thousands of gold coins he had on him might seem like a lot, but it was far from purchasing cultivation manuals and other items of the like. Throughout the journey, the ship encountered several sea beast attacks. However, it wasn''t attacked by the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile horde, nor were the attacks in as large a scale. Mo Wuji did not cultivate, but his lightning essence occasionally appeared to help him deal some critical, killing blows. Together with Yuan Zhenyi, they were not at an advantageous position, but they were able to hold their ground. The two of them were able to kill quite a number of sea beasts. However, these beasts could not be compared to the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile; Mo Wuji only managed to add 50 contribution points to his orange card. After two months, only 20 people in Mo Wuji''s shared house survived when the Spring Sea finally arrived at Xing Han''s Royal Capital, Chang Luo. As the Spring Sea approached the shore, everyone within the ship flocked out to the deck. Even the immortal masters could not control the rush. After two consecutive months of suppression, and constantly facing the threat of death, the sight of land really excited everyone. Fortunately, the immortal masters did not try to control the crowd. Due to this mad rush, there were some incidences of people falling down and got were eventually trampled to death. However, no one really cared or stopped. In just half an incense of time, more than half of the ship had departed. Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi did not squeeze with the crowd. Instead, they walked slowly at the back. They were already at Chang Luo, why the need to rush? "Wuji, you don''t need to follow us anymore. After arriving at Chang Luo, you are free to do what you want. On the other hand, I will be stay with Ji Xing and attend the Spring Immortal''s Gate a month from now," Yuan Zhenyi knew that Mo Wuji did not have spiritual roots, and would not want to join him and wait for the start of the Spring Immortal''s Gate. Indeed, Mo Wuji did not intend to stay with Yuan Zhenyi and Ji Xing. He needed to find a place to stay before secretly testing for his spiritual roots. Now that he had opened three meridians, it was still unclear whether he would have spiritual roots. Furthermore, even if he did not have spiritual roots, he still wanted to try all means possible to acquire a cultivation manual, and attempt to stimulate the lightning essence within his body. At the same time, Mo Wuji would still participate in the Spring Immortal''s Gate. After all, the sects would be looking for some service disciples. He might not be able to be a true disciple of the sect, but being a service disciple wouldn''t be too bad. "Then we''ll go our separate ways. If I need to, where can I find you?" Mo Wuji knew that Yuan Zhenyi and Ji Xing would not be like him, they would definitely have a fixed place to stay. "Brother Wuji, Zhenyi and I will be staying at Faraway Inn. If you need Zhenyi, you can find him there," Ji Xing took the initiative to reply Mo Wuji. After two months aboard the same ship, he had seen how strong Mo Wuji could be. Among all the house attendants and personal guards, there were very few who were able to singlehandedly kill two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles like Mo Wuji did. If Mo Wuji had spiritual roots, he would have lowered his status and made friends with Mo Wuji. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji did not have spiritual roots. It didn''t matter how strong he was, he would always be destined to be a mortal. The moment Ji Xing enters a sect and cultivates for a year or two, he would definitely be stronger than Mo Wuji. In his eyes, smiling and laughing with Mo Wuji was already a great sign of respect. Mo Wui did not know the thoughts in Ji Xing''s mind. Even if he did, he would not care much about it. After waving goodbye to Yuan Zhenyi, he soon disappeared within the crowd. He did not need to bother about Yuan Zhenyi and Ding Bu''Er. Yuan Zhenyi had his own plans while Ding Bu''Er would be following Han Ning to the Spring Immortal''s Gate. There, Ding Bu''Er would also have a chance to be a service disciple. It was only Mo Wuji who did not have anywhere to go to. However, he was still in a pleasant mood. In Rao Zhou, he was constantly in fear, and did not dare to go out. Now, he had finally gained his freedom. Every breath he took felt extremely fresh to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji glanced back at the vast ocean he just came from. One day, he would definitely return. ¡­ Chang Luo - the royal capital of Xing Han Empire. Mo Wuji had yet to enter the city itself but he could feel and bustle and the distinguished aura. Several spacious bluestone roads were cobbled together, from afar, the roads looked like a long blue dragon. Each road was filled with an endless flow of people. Rao Zhou could be already be considered bustling, but it was like a small town compared to Chang Luo. The majestic city tower and the huge and spacious city gates filled Mo Wuji''s heart with fervour. Chang Luo - this was where Mo Wuji would go big. Mo Wuji quickened his footsteps as he followed the crowds on the bluestone roads into Chang Luo. [TL NOTE] Hi readers! We''re starting a Twitter to interact with all of you! So do follow us at SparrowWorks_ , let''s read this together eh Chapter 49: Living In Tian Luo Hotel Chapter 49: Living In Tian Luo Hotel Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Rao Zhou was already industrialized. Logically, Chang Luo should have been more heavily industrialized and should possess more advanced technology. However, Mo Wuji felt a greater atmosphere of culture over technology in Chang Luo. The buildings and halls made Mo Wuji feel like he was taken back in history. The shophouses reminded Mo Wuji of some historical shophouses. Furthermore, all of these shophouses were grand and beautiful. Mo Wuji needed to find living accommodations as soon as possible. With the coming Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference, living accommodations would be quickly snapped up. If he took his time, he might actually end up sleeping on the streets. Mo Wuji''s premonition was right; he went through at least a dozen hotels, but he did not manage to find a room. Just as Mo Wuji was ready to lower his standards, he saw three huge words: "Tian Luo Hotel". Tian Luo Hotel may not be in the most crowded part of the city, but it was definitely not remote. Furthermore, the exterior of Tian Luo Hotel looked a lot better than the dozen inns he previously went through. Mo Wuji guessed that this kind of hotel probably would not have any rooms. Still, he entered the hotel with a "Maybe" attitude. At that moment, a woman hurriedly walked out the hotel with her head lowered. As she walked out, she brushed her shoulders against Mo Wuji. Even though it was just a mere brushing of shoulders, Mo Wuji could see that she had a perfect figure. She was definitely a beautiful woman. Looking at the luxurious entrance hall, Mo Wuji felt like he was back in a six-star hotel on Earth. As Mo Wuji entered the hotel, a pretty girl bowed and greeted him, "Are you looking for a place to stay or a particular person?" "I''m looking for a place to stay. Are there any rooms?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. The girl said with a smile, "Our ordinary and VIP rooms have all been booked. However, we still have a Superior Class room. The person living in that room just left. If you want it, you would need to pay two full months of accommodation costs..." Mo Wuji suddenly recalled the woman who hastily left the hotel as he was entering. If she was the one who vacated the hotel room, then his luck was really too good. "How much does it cost for two months?" Mo Wuji did not wait for the girl to finish and he immediately interrupted. The girl maintained her smile and she calmly said, "As it is period of the Spring Immortal''s Gate, our rooms are priced ten times higher. Our Superior Class rooms would cost 10 thousand gold coins per month. So it would be 20 thousand gold coins for two months." Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air. The price wasn''t high; it was outrageously high. If he did not earn money from his sale of penicillin, he would not even be able to set an eye on the room. "Here''s 20 thousand gold coins. I will be living for two months," Despite the outrageously high prices, Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and did not hesitate to take out two bank notes worth 10 thousand gold coins each. He did not have the rights to participate in the Spring Immortal''s Gate. However, the Spring Immortal''s Gate was still a once in a lifetime of opportunity for Mo Wuji. Besides looking for geniuses, the sects would also be taking in service disciples. If it was revealed that he had spiritual roots, he might even be taken in as an outer disciple. Even being a service disciple of a big sect would be useful for his cultivation. Just like how students aiming to enter Peking University would stay near the university, Mo Wuji wanted to be near the venue for the Spring Immortal''s Gate if wanted to join a sect. During this period, he would have a good rest and maintain a good body condition. He could easily find ways to earn his money back but he could not easily find such an opportunity. If he left the hotel now to find cheaper alternatives, he might end up with nowhere to live in. Furthermore, this hotel looked extremely grand and prestigious. He might actually meet some immortal masters during his stay here. The pretty girl did not expect Mo Wuji to take out the 20 thousand gold coins, Besides immortal masters, only royalty or the extremely rich could afford to stay here. Judging Mo Wuji''s ordinary looking appearance, he did not look like someone who could afford to stay in this hotel. Previously, she maintained her smile simply out of courtesy. "Is there any problem?" Seeing the girl''s blank look, Mo Wuji hurried and asked. With such a tight supply of rooms, it would naturally be better to enter one as soon as possible. "Oh, nothing''s wrong. Please wait as I check you in," The girl immediately returned to her senses and she respectfully helped Mo Wuji go through the formalities. In just a few minutes, Mo Wuji got the room key and the occupant identity card. He was staying in room 0182, which was on the third floor. "Are there still any rooms?" Just as Mo Wuji got his key, an anxious voice called out. It was a young girl speaking. She had thick eyebrows and big eyes, which made her look extremely stoic. Unfortunately, her stoicism caused her to lose much of her woman''s charm. By her side, was a young man with a sword on his back. "I am extremely sorry. The last room has been booked by this friend over here," the receptionist politely replied. When the young girl heard those words, she immediately turned to Mo Wuji, "Give me your key. I will give you double the fee." "I''m just in need for rest, so I cannot give you my room. Sorry," Naturally, Mo Wuji would not give up on his plans for the sake of some gold coins. "Triple." The thick browed girl wrinkled her brows. After sizing Mo Wuji up, she decided to increase the price. After offering this price, she immediately added, "Kid, be contented. Don''t be too greedy and cause trouble for yourself." "Little girl, may I ask what''s the price for one night in your best room here?" Mo Wuji disliked people who tried to solve their problems using money. Furthermore, she even tried to threaten him. Unfortunately for her, Mo Wuji was not a person who was scared of threats. Hearing Mo Wuji call her ''Little girl'', the receptionist blushed as she replied, "The best room is the Immortal Master Room. It costs 10 thousand gold coins a night..." "Ok, I will take the best Immortal Master Room. You can give them my room for free." Mo Wuji waved his hand and said arrogantly. The receptionist answered apologetically, "I am extremely sorry. We don''t have any more Immortal Master Rooms." "Oh, since that''s the case, I will stop trolling," Mo Wuji turned to look at the thick browed girl. He laughed at her as he walked up the steps. The receptionist did not understand what Mo Wuji meant by ''trolling¡¯, but she could tell that Mo Wuji was not happy with the thick browed girl. "A mere mortal dares to be so arrogant? I will definitely teach him a lesson,¡± The thick browed girl finally understood that Mo Wuji must have been ridiculing her. By her side, the young man honestly said, "Junior apprentice sister, since there are no more rooms, let''s just find another hotel. Furthermore, we secretly slipped out. If we made too much trouble and the house finds out..." Seemingly awoken by the words of the honest young man, the thick browed girl hatefully said, "That kid... He better not fall into my hands. If not he will understand the power of the Heavenly Aria Palace. Let''s go!" Seeing the two walk out, the receptionist seemed to recall something as her face revealed an expression of fear. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Mo Wuji''s room, and prayed for him silently in her heart. Chapter 50: < Technique> Chapter 50: Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Having rested for only a day, Mo Wuji left his accommodation and headed towards Luo Hai Merchant House. There was still a month to the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference, so Mo Wuji decided to look around for his much desired cultivation technique. It¡¯s all right if he couldn¡¯t afford it, there¡¯s no harm in taking a look. As to the brewing of the channel opening solution, Mo Wuji was surprisingly not anxious. Even if he managed to brew the solution, the absence of lightning would render it ineffective. The austerity of Luo Hai Merchant House contrasted greatly with the opulence of Tian Luo Hotel. Two statues of an unknown beast stood menacingly at its entrance. The wide doors of the merchant house thronged with people, and as Mo Wuji followed the crowd into the house, he instantly smelt the aroma of drugs. The lobby on the first floor was packed with a myriad of drugs, arranged neatly into clean and transparent cabinets. With a cursory gaze, it appeared as if nothing was missing. The names of the drugs along with their functions, grades, together with their ingredients, the names of their brewers and even the main herbs that went into making them, were all clearly labelled. Mo Wuji had previously explored the pharmacies of Rao Zhou City. However, it was only at that moment did he realise that the drugs of the pharmacies of Rao Zhou were merely supplements. Behind every counter sat an attendant. As long as the customers did not enquire about the prices, the attendant would sit motionless. However, once the customers made an enquiry of any sort, the attendant would promptly reply with his recommendations and suggestions. Mo Wuji took it all in appreciatively. He hated entering a shop where the attendants swamped him with questions even though he didn''t express any desires to make a purchase. How could one make an observation of the products of any sort under those conditions? After walking a round, Mo Wuji did not purchase any drugs. The only drugs he could use here were the healing pills, the cheapest of which cost at least hundreds of gold coins. The efficacy of these drugs was unlikely to surpass his penicillin. After looking at those drugs, Mo Wuji began to have a newfound appreciation of the revolutionary properties of his penicillin. Once penicillin entered mass production, it would only cost a few silver coins, perhaps even bronze coins. The difference between penicillin and these drugs could not have been greater. Mo Wuji went up to the second floor, which contained pills like the first. Judging from their packaging and appearance, they appeared to be a cut above those on the first floor. He did not browse any further, as he could not afford any of them. On the third floor, Mo Wuji saw cultivation manuals. Immediately, he made a beeline for them. ¡°The Sagittarius Book of Life Energy, Normal Mortal Grade, is going for 8000 contribution points or one million gold coins. The Qi Circulation Longevity Scroll, Elite Mortal Grade is going for 50 000 contribution points or six million gold coins. The Whirlwind Power Punch, Elite Mortal Grade, is going for 76 000 contribution points or eight million gold coins¡­¡± Mo Wuji made a round, with his heart growing heavier as he walked. All the money that he possessed could not even purchase the cover page of the cheapest cultivation manual. ¡°May I ask what are you seeking, friend?¡± Noticing the change in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes after he lifted up his head again, an attendant hurried towards him. Mo Wuji quickly composed himself, forced a smile and asked, ¡°May I ask, why are all the techniques here Mortal Grade? Also, what is the difference between Normal Mortal Grade and Elite Mortal Grade?¡± Upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the attendant realised that the prospects of a deal were shattered. How could he purchase cultivation manuals if he couldn¡¯t even understand the grading system? Fortunately, the attendant hadn¡¯t been here for long. He patiently explained, ¡°The techniques are divided into 3 grades: Heaven, Earth and Mortal grade. The Heaven grade is naturally the highest. Every grade is then subdivided into Normal, Elite and Treasured tiers. The techniques of the Earth grade are considered too high leveled, so we don''t sell them here.¡± The attendant deliberately did not mention that the shop did not even sell many techniques belonging to the Treasured Mortal Grade, let alone those of the Earth grade. ¡°So the techniques of the Heaven grade is the highest,¡± Mo Wuji muttered to himself. If it were possible to purchase Heaven grade techniques, how much money would be required? The combined wealth of the planet was unlikely to be sufficient to purchase one. The attendant took the chance to show off his knowledge and said laughingly, ¡°Normally you can find the techniques from these three grades in most marketplaces. But I¡¯ve heard of techniques belonging to a grade above the Heaven Grade. It''s called the Immortal Grade. Those are the true ways of immortality.¡± Mo Wuji pointed questioningly at the Qi Circulation Longevity Scroll and asked, ¡°Can¡¯t this technique prolong your life and also allow you to achieve immortality?¡± The attendant, patient as ever, replied, ¡°This is a technique to absorb the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth to cultivate the body. Of course one could obtain longevity, but it¡¯s different from living forever. How should I put it¡­?¡± The attendant thought for a long while before realising that he had no suitable analogy. Finally, he thought of something. He pointed to a cultivation manual in a corner and said to Mo Wuji, ¡°For example, that book¡­¡± Mo Wuji rushed over to take a look, ¡°Immortal Mortal¡­¡± Mo Wuji felt his heart beat faster. What an arrogant name! How could a mortal be immortal? Almost immediately, his gaze fell upon the price. 1000 contribution points or 110 thousand gold coins¡­ ¡°Why is it so cheap?¡± Mo Wuji asked immediately. The attendant chuckled and replied, ¡°Take a look at its grade and you shall know why is it so cheap.¡± Mo Wuji felt as if he had just seen his crush, sitting next to him. It¡¯s almost as if he could smell her fragrance. His heart thumped uncontrollably as his body shook. ¡°The , Mortal Grade technique¡­¡± Looking at that statement, Mo Wuji exclaimed with disbelief, ¡°How is that possible?¡± How could it be? Even if it¡¯s Mortal grade, why is it so cheap? The attendant looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s stunned appearance, and suddenly felt like adding a few more sentences. Perhaps that guy would eventually fork out the money to buy it. Just as the attendant was prepared to coax Mo Wuji into buying it, a gentle voice said, ¡°This technique can be found everywhere, and the price here is the most expensive. A street vendor or a small shop would probably sell it to you for 20 or 30 thousand gold coins. You might even get one for just 10 thousand gold coins. Because this technique could only be practised until Channel Opening Stage Level 9 before the user is forced to change techniques. Furthermore, the method of practising it is extremely difficult. Also, to reach Channel Opening Stage Level 9 with this technique would take up considerably more energy and resources compared to other techniques.¡± The speaker turned out to be a smiling man of average stature. The words of this man splashed upon Mo Wuji like a bucket of cold water. He thought he finally found a bargain, when in actual fact the whole street was selling it. ¡°Thank you mister for your advice,¡± Despite the aching disappointment in his heart, Mo Wuji raised his hands in an appreciative gesture. The attendant said sheepishly, ¡°While the whole street is selling this, at least our store is selling the complete version. The versions of the technique sold by the street vendors have missing content, and are made from coarse materials. I promise you, I sell at least 10 copies of this technique here.¡± The man nodded his head and said, ¡°That¡¯s true, you can trust the brand of Luo Hai Merchant House.¡± Chapter 51: Basics of Cultivation Chapter 51: Basics of Cultivation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°About that, could you let me take a look at that technique?¡± Mo Wuji sighed to himself, wanting to lay his eyes on this Immortal Mortal Technique. He had no other way, the amount of money he had could only afford some techniques of the masses. ¡°No problem.¡± The shop assistant took the Immortal Mortal Technique manual out from the glass display case and handed it to Mo Wuji with a smile. He did not have the permission to do so for other techniques, but at least for this one, he could make such a decision. The moment Mo Wuji intended to open the manual, the middle aged man laughed, ¡°My suggestion would be that if you want to make progress in your cultivation for the long term, it would be better to accumulate some points and purchase a higher quality Mortal technique. The Immortal Mortal Technique only goes by this name in this shop. Once you leave the shop, this technique goes by another name.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the other name?¡± Mo Wuji blurted. The middle aged man pointed at the manual in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands, ¡°Once you open this manual, you will be able to see its actual name.¡± With that, Mo Wuji hurriedly flipped open the manual. Below the words ¡°Immortal Mortal Technique¡¯¡¯, there were a few small unassuming words ¡°Basics of Cultivation¡± When Mo Wuji saw those three words, he almost coughed up blood. If this middle aged man did not remind him, he would have bought this manual. What¡¯s more, if anyone asked him, he would say that he was training in the Immortal Mortal Technique, which might make him a big laughing stock. The shop assistant saw that something was amiss, and quickly added, ¡°This is the most basic of the beginner techniques. If you train with this technique, even if you change to another technique in the future, there will be no negative effects. I can assure you, there are no other techniques that are more foundational than this one.¡± Mo Wuji retorted snidely, ¡°Of course there will be no negative effects. Didn¡¯t I just hear that training this Immortal Mortal Technique requires a large amount of time and resources? By the time I have the ability to change to other techniques, won¡¯t I already be close to dying from old age?¡± The shop assistant chuckled, but did not rebut what Mo Wuji said. The middle aged man spoke once again, ¡°Technically this shop assistant is not wrong. Even though the technique takes up a long period of time for training, but it has been passed down for countless years, and went through all kinds of refinement, thus making it flawless. Whenever you have a higher quality cultivation technique, you can really swap it out at any moment.¡± Mo Wuji flipped the manual open. The shop assistant did not lie about its contents. The technique was highly detailed, not only stating clearly how to circulate spiritual energy, but also showing diagrams indicating the direction of flow within spirit channels. On top of that, there were introductions to certain parts of the spirit channel network in the body. Mo Wuji never cultivated before, and no one had ever taught him how to. The positions and names of spirit channels were completely foreign to him. What more the direction of flow within them. The shop assistant took out another book and passed it to Mo Wuji, ¡°My friend, if you purchase the Immortal Mortal Technique from me, I will also give you this introductory book on spirit channels for free.¡± Mo Wuji closed the manual, saying to the shop assistant, ¡°Could you stop bringing up Immortal Mortal Technique. What I want to buy now is this Basics of Cultivation. Speak. What is the lowest price that you can offer? That¡¯s right, I still have 250 points, how much money would I have to add on top of that to get this manual and the free gift?¡± He was rather impatient. Either he bought this manual, or he would leave the shop empty handed. The amount of money he had could not purchase anything else. Hearing that Mo Wuji really intended to purchase this Basics of Cultivation, the shop assistant immediately broke into a smile and said, ¡°Just add 70 thousand gold coins¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll add another 50 thousand gold coins. If you are willing to sell it, I will take it off your hands immediately. Otherwise, I¡¯ll go to another shop.¡± Mo Wuji said without hesitation. Subtracting the money spent at the hotel, He only had approximately 100 thousand gold coins on him. He would have to scrimp and save this sum of money. Initially, he felt that 100 over thousand gold coins was a large sum. But only after walking into this shop did Mo Wuji realise that he was poorer than a beggar. At this rate, he would have to find some way to earn money for meals. ¡°Deal.¡± The shop assistant passed both the Immortal Mortal Technique and the Introduction to Spirit Channels to Mo Wuji without hesitation. Mo Wuji took out the orange rewards card to pay with his 250 points, then taking out a 50 thousand dollar gold note. He finally obtained the cultivation technique of his dreams: the Immortal Mortal Technique. No wait, it¡¯s the Basics of Cultivation. Carefully wrapping both books up and stuffing them into his clothes, Mo Wuji decided to find somewhere to test his spirit roots, before going back and seeing if he could cultivate. As Mo Wuji was about to leave, he turned around and saw that the middle aged man had not left yet. The man did not know Mo Wuji at all, but yet still helped to explain many things to him. It looked like this guy was here to look for him, but he had just arrived in Chang Luo City! ¡°Thanks brother for all those explanations. I noticed that you¡¯ve been here for quite some time, could it be that you¡¯re here to look for me?¡± Mo Wuji respectfully asked. The middle aged man smiled and nodded, ¡°I didn¡¯t help much just now, and you still purchased this manual in the end. But you¡¯re right, I¡¯m here for you.¡± Without prompting from Mo Wuji, he explained, ¡°This is a token representing a service disciple of the Formless Blade Sect.¡± Mo Wuji instinctively took the ice cold token, and asked with suspicion, ¡°But I don¡¯t even know you, why are you giving me this token?¡± The middle aged man warmly replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this token was given to me by Qin Xiangyu. She asked me to pass it to you. If you don¡¯t intend to use it, just keep it by your side. You never know when it might come in handy.¡± Qin Xiangyu? Mo Wuji immediately remembered the lady that lived next to him. That woman seemed pretty normal, but she gave off an aura of distinction. Her figure was even more attractive. That sort of curvaceous body was not only beautiful, but also did not seem like kitsch. Perhaps, this was what an actual aura felt like. He only helped her conveniently initially, who knew that this woman would remember him, even giving him a title of service disciple within a sect. This didn¡¯t make sense, Qin Xiangyu was a servant like him. How could she have obtained a token for service disciples from such an immortal sect, and afford to give one to him? Seemingly reading Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, the middle aged man explained, ¡°Xiangyu¡¯s younger brother, Qin Chen, is the Formless Blade Sect¡¯s second elder¡¯s direct disciple, and had left home for over ten years. Because of the Spring Immortal Gate Conference, they were able to meet, and she obtained this token from him.¡± Mo Wuji finally understood. No wonder she could easily obtain such a token. ¡°As this matter has been concluded, I will take my leave.¡± The middle aged man did not introduce himself, and after Mo Wuji received the token, automatically bade farewell and left. After the man had left, Mo Wuji then grabbed the shop assistant and asked, ¡°May I ask what level is the Formless Blade Sect?¡± The shop assistant looked at the token in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand in admiration, replying, ¡°The Formless Blade Sect might not be the best sect around, but it¡¯s at least an Earth level Sect, a below average one.¡± Only a below average Earth level sect. Mo Wuji was slightly disappointed, but still felt greatly indebted to Qin Xiangyu. There might be many people who keep grudges, but much less who remember other people¡¯s goodwill. Putting the token away, Mo Wuji decided to still get his spirit roots tested. If he had spirit roots, and of a decent quality, then he might actually stand a chance to go for the Spring Immortal Gate Conference. When that happens, he would not be only a service disciple, maybe even an outer disciple. Chapter 52: The Higher You Go, The Harder You Fall Chapter 52: The Higher You Go, The Harder You Fall Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Chang Luo City had too many locations for testing spirit roots, and the cheapest only required a fee of 100 gold coins. Being wary of false test results, Mo Wuji decided on the Xing Han Spirit Opening Tower. After some inquiries, Mo Wuji found out that the Xing Han Spirit Opening Tower was one of the top tier spirit opening towers. Its accuracy rate for testing one¡¯s spirit roots was a perfect 100%. Originally, Mo Wuji was worried that his spiritual roots may be of poor quality, and that it would be better to take the test on the sly. However, when he reached Xing Han Spirit Opening Tower, he knew that he was overthinking. Just by standing at outside of the Xing Han Spirit Opening Tower for a few minutes, Mo Wuji saw up to a hundred people enter and leave the premises. With such a high volume of human traffic, who would notice him? Mo Wuji walked into the Spirit Opening Tower and was welcomed by a large signboard. The signboard had two arrows, the left one pointing to ¡°spirit root testing¡±, and the right one pointing to ¡°opening of spirit channels¡±. Taking a left turn, Mo Wuji quickly arrived at a window which had a sign below it that wrote ¡°Pay 700 gold coins for the testing of spirit roots¡±. He handed over the fee, and obtained a card numbered 3121. There were many people coming to get their spiritual roots tested, and all Mo Wuji had to do was to follow behind the others. He walked up to the third floor, which had a large hall with over a hundred people seated within it. Due to the gigantic size of the hall, even with a hundred people in it, there still seemed to be much extra space left. At the corner of the hall, there was a metal door that was closed shut. When Mo Wuji entered, one person walked out from that door, and following the reporting of a number, another went in. Within half a minute, the previous person exited the door, and the person with the next number entered. Mo Wuji waited for approximately an hour before his name was called; he then entered the room anxiously. If nothing went wrong, and the test results still indicated that he did not have spiritual roots, then he probably would not have spiritual roots for the rest of his life. After entering the room, Mo Wuji saw a crystal pillar that was much more transparent and clear than those within Cheng Yu Spirit Opening Tower. Not only was it clearer, its height was also much greater than the Cheng Yu Spirit Opening Tower. By his estimates, it was at least 4.5 to 5 metres tall. Beside the crystal pillar sat a middle aged woman. Upon seeing Mo Wuji enter, she said emotionlessly, ¡°Stand up there.¡± Mo Wuji took the test once before, and already possessed experience about the whole process. He immediately stood on the spirit roots test platform. The next moment, a bright blue light shot up to the sky, exceeding the top edge of the crystal pillar. In an instant, this blue light disappeared, and the pillar reverted to its original state. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The female tester suddenly stood up, walking towards the crystal pillar with a look of suspicion. She touched the pillar all over for a good period of time. Sometime later, she still did not know what had happened, and could only tell Mo Wuji, ¡°You, come down. You¡¯ll retake the test awhile later.¡± Mo Wuji initially got stunned by the blue light that shot into the sky. What followed was a tingling sensation on his scalp. He had saw Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit roots test before. Hers was a streak of green light which did not even reach the top of the pillar, and she was determined to have Supreme Spirit Roots. But Yan¡¯Er¡¯s green light remained at the pillar all the way until she stepped down from it. That warm green light was something that Mo Wuji was unable to forget even up till that point in time. What was the issue with him? After that streak of blue light shot to the sky, it disappeared completely. Moreover, this sort of brilliance was highly disruptive, totally different from the warmth from Yan¡¯Er¡¯s light. ¡°Stand up there again.¡± Seeing that Mo Wuji was in a daze, the tester shouted once more. Mo Wuji hurriedly stood up onto the pillar. A moment later, he saw that the pillar had some faint specks of blue light that flashed a few times, before the pillar returned to its original state. The middle aged woman furrowed her eyebrows, and was not very satisfied with the results, pushing for Mo Wuji to take the test again for the third time. It was still the same. A few bits of blue light sparkled for a moment before disappearing. ¡°Low quality mortal roots, there¡¯s no possibility for you to open your spirit channels. You may leave now.¡± The middle aged woman finally confirmed the results of the test. The blinding brilliance of blue light from the first try must have been a glitch with the crystal pillar. The crystal pillar rarely had any issues, but it wasn¡¯t that there were none. It almost caused her to think that some kind of genius was in her presence, wasting the time spent on three tests. Mo Wuji was devastated, walking out of the room with his head held low. It seemed like the meridians that he opened belonged to the meridian network, not the spirit channel network. If they were spirit channels, he would already have spirit roots. But what exactly happened with the blue light for the first test? Something must be wrong. His test at Cheng Yu Spirit Opening Tower only yielded a few grey sparkles. However it was blue light flashing this time. Perhaps this had something to do with the lightning source within him? Now that he had a cultivation technique, no matter what the result, he would go back to start cultivating first. If he really could not cultivate, then he would find a way to learn martial arts. There was another person that Mo Wuji could not forget: Yan¡¯Er. Besides his parents, this was the only person he had met that would rather remain hungry and thirsty so that he may have a better life. Every time he thought of Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji would become furious at the woman that took her away. ¡­ At Tian Luo Hotel, Mo Wuji stepped into a room, closing the door, and taking outimmediately. ¡°It is a fallacy that spiritual energy appeared after heaven and earth was created. Spiritual energy was created together with the universe. Those born without it, are called mortals. Mortals of my generation, compressed and trained spiritual energy, and achieved longevity¡­¡± The introduction was already so grand, which made Mo Wuji look forward to what lay ahead. When he saw the terms ¡°compress and train spiritual energy¡± and ¡°first through the Earth Vein¡±, he was stunned. He had no idea how to do it. If he could not even do this, how would he carry on cultivating. Cultivation really required the guidance of a master, Mo Wuji sighed in his heart before quickly taking out . Finally, he found what Earth Vein referred to. The first step was to let spiritual energy flow through a spirit channel called the Earth Vein, then circulate it through the whole spirit channel network. Mo Wuji had already opened three spirit channels, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, he could not absorb any natural spiritual energy and pass it through any of his meridians. Could it be that this was the end? No. Mo Wuji was not satisfied and wanted to try the spiritual energy circulation again. Continuously working at it for three to four hours, Mo Wuji¡¯s legs became numb from the prolonged sitting. ¡°Bang, bang!¡± Just as he was about to lose all hope, two loud knocks on the door were heard. Mo Wuji angrily threw theto one side, and yanked the door open. At the door, was a rather familiar woman clothed in black. The woman had a perfect figure and she was stunningly beautiful. Mo Wuji did not care how pretty this woman was, immediately shouting, ¡°Do you know that it is bad manners to knock on a guest¡¯s door as you wish? If I were sleeping with a woman inside, would you want to come in to take a look?¡± The woman in black was taken aback for a moment by Mo Wuji¡¯s boundless rage. Coincidentally her gaze landed on thethat Mo Wuji threw to one side. Even though that was actually the , but the wordswere larger. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for disrupting your training. I was the previous guest who stayed in this suite¡­¡± Once the woman in black finished speaking, Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that he brushed shoulders with a woman while entering the suite. Wasn¡¯t this that woman? If it were not for her checking out of the room last minute, he would not have a place to stay at. Mo Wuji suppressed his anger, and forcibly apologised, ¡°I¡¯m terribly sorry. I was just on a short fuse because something went wrong with my training. Didn¡¯t you check out already? Why are you still here?¡± Mo Wuji¡¯s words were simply boastful lies. In reality he did not even manage to start his cultivation, so how could he have faced any problem during it? Chapter 53: The Start of Cultivation Chapter 53: The Start of Cultivation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The woman in black felt embarrassed and replied hesitantly, "Something urgent popped up so I couldn''t leave Chang Luo and now I''m unable to find another place to stay." Mo Wuji answered doubtfully, "I¡¯m sorry that you are unable to find a place to stay but I will not move out of this hotel room." He was still unable to cultivate but decided to keep trying as he already knew of the cultivation techniques and this was a suitable place for him to try cultivating. The woman in black waved her hand and said, "You will not need to move out, this suite is able to fit two people. Look on the left of the living room, there is another room available." Mo Wuji had not noticed that room on the left until she mentioned it. He fell asleep straight away when he entered the room last night and left early in the morning today. When he returned, he started trying to cultivate without even stepping into the room. This two-room concept suite was indeed worth the 20 000 gold coins. It was not as if Mo Wuji did not want to help this woman but it was a critical period of time for him. If he was not trying to cultivate, he would have very willingly let her stay as it would not be very pleasant if she were to interrupt his training when he was still trying to cultivating. As she soon realised the reason for Mo Wuji''s hesitation, the woman in black hurried to say, "Don''t worry, I will not disturb you while you are cultivating. In fact, I could help in some areas which you do not understand." Mo Wuji''s intention was made obvious to the woman in black from the Immortal Mortal manual which he previously threw to one side. "Are you an immortal master?" Mo Wuji asked, out of curiosity. The woman in black replied humbly, "I am not considered an immortal master. I am now only at Channel Opening Stage Level 4 but I''m quite familiar with the fundamentals." Anyone in the Channel Opening Stage was considered to be an immortal master in the eyes of a mortal. However, the woman in black knew she was nothing extraordinary in terms of her Channel Opening Stage. She would be too embarrassed to call herself an immortal master. Mo Wuji was in awe when he heard this. Han Ning was only at Channel Opening Stage Level 1 and she had mentioned that there would only be a drastic increase in strength after reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 4. He swept across to one side of the door and smiled vibrantly saying, "Elder sister, please come in quickly. It is very windy outside." The woman in black glanced at Mo Wuji as her impression of Mo Wuji drastically changed after that sentence. How could it have been windy when they were inside a hotel? She hesitate for a split second to enter the room. However, she really had no other place to stay and could not leave Chang Luo city as she had other plans in the city. Mo Wuji waited for the woman in black to enter before shutting the door. He then hurried to pick up themanual embarrassingly. He thought to himself that maybe, in the eyes of the woman, he was nothing but a pile of sh*t in the world of cultivation. "Themanual may be cheap but it is not a good book to follow if you want to cultivate efficiently," The woman in black said objectively as she saw him pick up the book. "Yes, yes. However, I''ve heard that this manual has been passed down for thousands of years and it is one of the most useful manuals for beginners. I believe that if I want to start cultivating and get stronger, I should get my basics right first. Since I have decided to start cultivating, I am not afraid of working long and hard," Mo Wuji said confidently, even though the truth was that he could not afford any other manual. The woman in black was pleasantly surprised at the words of Mo Wuji. As he was able to afford to stay in this suite, she did not think that he only bought the manual because he could not afford the others. "Yes, you are right. I did not have a peaceful state of mind when I first started cultivating," The woman in black agreed. If she had seen Mo Wuji throw the manual on the floor in frustration before she knocked on the door, she would have realised that Mo Wuji was nothing but peaceful. Mo Wuji took out some tea leaves and offered to make a cup of tea for the woman in black calmly, "I am Mo Wuji and I just reached Chang Luo recently. I am planning to try my luck at the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. How may I address you?" "My name is Shen Lian but you may address me as senior apprentice sister Shen..." The woman in black paused before continued by saying, "I am going to stay here for a long period, should I pay you some rent?" Why would Mo Wuji want to collect rent from Shen Lian? If he had more money on him, he would immediately give some to Shen Lian. "Senior apprentice sister Shen, everyone will go through a tough period in life. Moreover, I wouldn''t be using the room if you did not approach me. It would be too crude to talk about paying rent," Mo Wuji said with a straight face. Shen Lian looked as though she was not very good with words. Therefore, she stood up and bowed to Mo Wuji upon hearing him. Mo Wuji said quickly, "Not trying to hide anything from you but I¡¯ve barely started cultivating. There are many things about cultivation which I do not understand and will need to learn from you." This was Mo Wuji''s purpose from the start. Shen Lian looked more comfortable talking about this topic. She also did plan to give Mo Wuji guidance thus she replied, "You can ask me about anything." Mo Wuji''s spirit was immediately lifted. None of his friends knew about cultivation. His only friend who was able to cultivate was Han Ning. However, the difference in their stature made it difficult for him to ask her more. "Senior apprentice sister Shen, you are currently at Channel Opening Stage Level 4. May I ask how many levels there are in total? And how many spirit channels must be opened to be considered capable?" Mo Wuji asked everything under one breath. Shen Lian did not need to think for long to answer in detail, "The fact that you are trying to cultivate means you possess spirit roots. The next step after having spirit roots would be to open the spirit. The number of spirit channels opened on the first try would represent how strong you can be in the future. Normally, it is considered decent to open about five spirit channels on the first try. Those with top quality roots will be able to open more than 10 spirit channels¡­¡± Speaking of top quality roots, Mo Wuji could not help but think of Yan''Er. "How many spirit channels can a genius open on the first try?" Mo Wuji asked. "That is very hard to say. Those who can open more than 10 spirit channels are already considered geniuses. I''ve met a genius who once opened up 17 spirit channels. I heard that he was the first one in over a few hundred years to open up so many," Shen Lian said in awe. "Will you be in the Channel Opening Stage after having spirit channels?" Shen Lian shook her head, "After having your spirit channels opened, one must cultivate. Channel expansion is the continuous expansion of the spirit channels within your body. The more spirit channels expanded would result in greater power and possible achievements in the future. There are a total of nine levels in the stage. At the ninth level before the promotion to the Spirit Building Stage, if you are able to open 99 spirit channels, you could very well become an expert." "Does this mean a cultivator can open at most 99 spirit channels?" There were still way too many things that Mo Wuji did not know. Shen Lian nodded then shook her head, "To be capable of opening 99 spirit channels is already very rare. It is considered to be very impressive to have one or two of such people in an empire over a century. However, opening 99 spirit channels is not the limit. There were myths about a genius being able to open the 100th spirit channel and then proceeding to the 10th level. However, this is only a myth and there was no such person capable of doing this." "What is the purpose of proceeding to the 10th level if it wastes so much time and effort?" Mo Wuji questioned. Shen Lian said, "It is not a waste of time. Do you know about the three realms of cultivation?" Mo Wuji shook his head in embarrassment as he did not know much at all. Chapter 54: Ten Breaths Chapter 54: Ten Breaths Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Shen Lian silently watched Mo Wuji place the Basics of Cultivation by the side, and explained, ¡°Cultivation has three realms: the Mortal Realm, Earth Realm, and Heaven Realm. Each realm is separated into three stages, each stage separated into another nine levels. The Channel Opening Stage is the first stage of the Mortal Realm. The second stage of the Mortal Realm is the Spirit Building Stage, and the third stage is the Transcending Mortality Stage. Beyond the Transcending Mortality Stage is the Earth Realm. The Earth Stage¡¯s first stage is the Yuan Dan Stage; the second stage is the True Lake Stage; and the third stage is the Nihility God Stage¡­¡± Seeing that Shen Lian could no longer carry on, Mo Wuji anxiously asked, ¡°What about the three stages of the Heaven Realm?¡± ¡°Heaven Realm? Legend has it that experts from Quasi-Heaven Sects have crossed into the Heaven Realm. However those people do not show themselves, and most of them remain at the first stage. So the three stages of the Heaven Realm are completely unimportant to us. Knowing them serves no purpose,¡± Shen Lian said while sighing. In the past hundreds and thousands of years, how many experts within the five empires actually managed to cross into the Heaven Realm? Mo Wuji also knew that Shen Lian was not spouting nonsense. The Heaven Realm was indeed too far out of his reach. Thinking of what Shen Lian just said, he asked with a tinge of uncertainty, ¡°You previously mentioned that cultivating to the 10th level of the Channel Opening Stage was not a waste of time, but what does all that you just said have to do with the 10th level of Channel Opening that we were talking about before?¡± Shen Lian replied, ¡°Because at the ninth level of Transcending Mortality, many people will try everything to go beyond the Mortal Realm, and take a step into the Yuan Dan Stage, the first stage of the Earth Realm.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that very normal?¡± Mo Wuji was really puzzled. Even if he did reach the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, he would also try all that he could to get into the Earth Realm. ¡°Yes it¡¯s normal, but very few people are aware that there is one more stage after the nine levels of Transcending Mortality¡± Shen Lian said. ¡°What stage is it?¡± Mo Wuji wanted to know. A tinge of desire appeared in Shen Lian¡¯s eyes, ¡°It is called the Extreme Mortal Stage, and it is the 10th level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. Even though there aren¡¯t many who know about this 10th level, but there are still some who do. But there has never been someone who could really force their way into the 10th level of Transcending Mortality. Not because they didn¡¯t want to, but because they simply couldn¡¯t. In order to force your way into the Extreme Mortal Stage, you must cultivate to the 10th level for the first of the three stages of the Mortal Realm, first for the Channel Opening Stage. After that you would have to cultivate until the 10th level of the Spirit Building Stage too. Only then would you have even the slightest chance of stepping into the 10th level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, the Extreme Mortal Stage.¡± At this point Shen Lian took a quick look at Mo Wuji, before continuing slowly, ¡°In reality, simply cultivating to the 10th level of the Transcending Mortality Stage is nearly impossible, what more of doing that for all three stages of the Mortal Realm? Wouldn¡¯t you think that going for the 10th level of the Transcending Mortality Stage is just a waste of time and effort?¡± ¡°Then how would it benefit anyone to step into the Extreme Mortal Stage?¡± Mo Wuji knew that there would be countless benefits to the Extreme Mortal Stage after listening to Shen Lian¡¯s explanation, but he did not know any of them. Even if it were something out of his reach, he also wanted to know what it was. Shen Lian replied, ¡°Firstly, cultivators that enter the Extreme Mortal Stage would have a brighter future. Secondly, they would be stronger than others at the same level of cultivation. Normally, for those in the Mortal Realm, even if they are at the peak of the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, or halfway into the Yuan Dan Stage, their strength is still greatly inferior to those really in the Yuan Dan Stage. But for those in the Extreme Mortal Stage, they can actually go beyond their current stage and barely be able to fight against experts in the Yuan Dan Stage. This is the greatest difference.¡± Even though Shen Lian said many things, Mo Wuji did not hear about any of them before. But he knew that Shen Lian¡¯s level of wisdom was sufficient for him to ask her to be his master. ¡°Senior Shen, I know nothing about cultivating. Please guide me.¡± Mo Wuji stood up and bowed respectfully. Shen Lian took a sip of tea and said, ¡°I can see that. I¡¯ll explain the distribution of spirit channels in the body and how to absorb spiritual energy. For the rest, I am unable to teach them to you. You¡¯ll have to learn them by yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you senior.¡± This was precisely what Mo Wuji lacked. He had no idea how to start cultivating. On the other hand, Shen Lian did not selfishly withhold anything from him, and taught Mo Wiji how to utilise the opened spirit channels to circulate and then absorb spiritual energy. She also taught him how to do a minor circulation and a major circulation, even telling Mo Wuji how to synchronise his mind and the opened spirit channels to absorb spiritual energy. Not able to memorise everything on the spot, Mo Wuji even took out pen and paper to record all of it down. The teaching and learning went on for a good half day. Shen Lian¡¯s mouth was parched and she stood up to say, ¡°I need to rest now. Sigh, staying in a room with you isn¡¯t easy.¡± ¡°Thank you Senior Shen, I will never forget your kindness of teaching me today.¡± Mo Wuji humbly replied. What Shen Lian had taught him today was definitely not something that he could normally learn elsewhere. Even if he became a basic disciple, it would still be difficult for him to learn so many useful things. ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t want to take you in as my disciple anyway.¡± Shen Lian walked into the room on the right after she finished speaking. She used almost a day¡¯s time to just enter this apartment and a room within it. Mo Wuji chuckled sneakily, saying to himself that he did not intend to ask her to be his master When Shen Lian reached to the room¡¯s door, she suddenly stopped and turned around, asking, ¡°That¡¯s right, how¡¯s your spirit roots? How many spirit channels did you open before opening your spirit?¡± Mo Wuji paused slightly. What spirit roots did he have? If he said that he did not have spirit roots, and never opened half a spirit channel, who knew whether Shen Lian, who spoke until she her mouth went dry, would pounce on him and strangle him. ¡°Well, my spirit roots are only average, and I¡¯m not very comfortable to disclose how many spirit channels I have opened. In all, my talent and quality definitely is a far cry from Senior Shen Lian.¡± Mo Wuji sheepishly replied with an awkward laugh. Shen Lian calmly spoke, ¡°I naturally know that you talent is beneath mine. I only want to remind you that even for those with supreme spiritual roots who are absorbing spiritual energy for the first time, they require around a day before they can sense the spiritual energy. For spiritually sensitive people, sensing spiritual energy within two hours is not impossible. People with high quality spiritual roots require three to five days before sensing spiritual energy. People with intermediate quality spiritual roots need around 10 days, while those with low quality ones require a month or even years.¡± Completing her last sentence, Shen Lian pushed the door open and entered her room. The last sentence seemed to be targeted towards Mo Wuji. He laughed and grabbed his technique manual, swiftly entering the room on the left. He did not have spiritual roots at all, who cares if he would take a few months to sense spiritual energy, he already had the method and manual, what was left was to attempt it. What he learnt from Shen Lian was too much, so he decided to use the two months here to try it out non-stop. ¡­ Back in the room, Mo Wuji immediately began to follow the method that Shen Lian had taught him to absorb spiritual energy, and start the round the body circulation. Aware that those with the worst spirit roots would require at least a month to sense spiritual energy, Mo Wuji was completely calm. He did not have spirit roots, and it had not even been half a day yet. It would be unusual if he could actually sense spiritual energy. Cultivation was originally an orderly process with slow improvement, so why the rush? Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji closed his eyes and began to sense the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth. In that moment his heart was calm, without even the slightest bit of anxiety. Nonsense, even those with Supreme Spiritual Roots would need a day to sense spiritual energy, what good would it be if he was riled up. Not even at his 10th breath, Mo Wuji could feel a cool airflow through the first of his opened meridians, then after half a minor circulation it entered his second meridian. Mo Wuji got a shock and opened his eyes. The airflow disappeared. This was only half a minor circulation, and Mo Wuji could feel that his whole body was significantly lighter. This was too simple right? Could this be cultivation? But he clearly did not have spiritual roots. Mo Wuji exploded in happiness after being stunned for a moment. As long as he could cultivate, who cared if he had spiritual roots. The next instant, Mo Wuji immediately pulled out and opened up the Basics of Cultivation, cleared his mind, and furiously started the circulation process. (TL Note: we changed hierarchy of cultivation to Realm -> Stage -> Level for better clarity) Chapter 55: Channel Opening Stage Level 1 Chapter 55: Channel Opening Stage Level 1 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After an unknown amount of time, Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. He felt as though his cultivation had met with a bottleneck, without any way of breaking through. It was written in , once spiritual energy fills the body through the spirit channels, the first level would be complete. Mo Wuji could feel his entire body filled with spiritual energy, it¡¯s just that he used his meridians instead of spirit channels. Was this Channel Opening Stage Level 1? Mo Wuji examined his hands in shock. He could smell a hint of rancidity. Mo Wuji immediately understood that this was the smell of the body''s expelled impurities. He had really reached Channel Opening Stage Level 1 and he just met with his first bottleneck. However, Mo Wuji was clear why he met this bottleneck; it wasn''t because he couldn''t cultivate, but because he had progressed too fast! All three of his open meridians were filled, resulting in this bottleneck. Cultivators would need to open more spirit channels to overcome this bottleneck and continue their progress. For him, he would need to concoct more channel opening solution and find a lightning source to open more meridians. More meridians would mean more progress. "Haha..." Mo Wuji laughed heartily. Cultivation did not amount to much; it was so simple! He felt hungry but he wasn''t that hungry till he couldn''t move. He had probably cultivated for a day. In a single day, he actually reached Channel Opening Level 1. What other thing could bring him that much joy? Mo Wuji rushed to the washroom to wash off all the impurities. After putting on a clean set of clothes, his entire body felt refreshed. At this moment, he felt like he could eat an entire cow. Even though he was hungry, he also felt relaxed both in body and spirit. He merely took a few light steps but he could travel a great distance. Perhaps this was the ¡®lightened steps¡¯ which Han Ning mentioned. His body felt light and nimble. Even though his methods were different from conventional cultivators, Mo Wuji decided to step on this cultivation path. Thetruly deserved its illustrious name. Now, even if someone offered him a higher grade cultivation manual for the , Mo Wuji would not agree. Wait¡­ Why did people treat thisas trash when it actually could help him produce such ''Immortal¡¯ results? Could it be due to the fact that he had opened meridians and not spirit channels? What was the exact difference between meridians and spirit channels? Mo Wuji could not understand so he simply put it at the back of his mind. He might not understand the theory behind it now, but who says he wouldn''t understand it in the future? As he was about to open the door, Mo Wuji was sure that Shen Lian would ask him why he was cooped up in his room for so long. However, Mo Wuji did not expect that Shen Lian wasn''t even outside. Mo Wuji brushed his nose embarrassedly, chiding himself for thinking too much. There was still more than a month to the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. He would need to purchase ingredients and concoct channel opening solutions before that happens. Even though he only had mortal roots, he could cultivate, and at a fast pace at that. Having three open meridians was really too lacking. If he wanted to progress faster, he would need to open more meridians. ¡°You''re leaving?¡± Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave, Shen Lian opened the door from the room on the right. Mo Wuji must have been cultivating for a day or two. Shen Lian couldn''t have been cultivating for the same time, right? ¡°Yes, I''m going out to buy some ingredients¡­¡± Mo Wuji suddenly came to the realisation that he would also need to purchase some drug refining equipment, which would cost quite a bit of money. Furthermore, things would naturally be more expensive in Chang Luo than Cheng Yu. ¡°Do you have money to lend me? I will definitely return you the leftovers.¡± As this was a matter regarding his cultivation, there was no reason why he needed to be shy about borrowing money. Shen Lian stared at Mo Wuji, ¡°Didn''t you reject the money I offered you for the room?¡± Mo Wuji waved his hand, ¡°Naturally, I won¡¯t ask for that money. It''s just that I¡¯m buying ingredients now, and I''m afraid that I might not have enough gold. If there''s money I did not spend, I will definitely return it to you.¡± Suddenly, Shen Lian''s face turned red as she stuttered, ¡°About that¡­ I don''t have any money right now. But I will get some when the Spring Immortal''s Gate opens.¡± Mo Wuji''s eyes widened as he looked at Shen Lian, ¡°You don''t have money? Didn''t you offer to pay rent previously? Were you lying to me?¡± The blush on Shen Lian¡¯s face extended down to her neck and she said awkwardly, ¡°I taught you the important fundamentals of cultivation. That should be more than enough to pay for the rent.¡± Mo Wuji understood that this lady here was simply speaking empty words when she offered to pay rent. If he really did ask for it, she would probably come up with some other excuse. Knowing that her lie had been seen through, Shen Lian lowered her head and said, ¡°It''s because I ran out of money that I had to move out. I¡­¡± Shen Lian was speaking the truth. She returned to the hotel knowing that this suite had two rooms. She wanted to negotiate with the current guest. When the Spring Immortal''s Gate opens, she would be able to repay him twofold. Seeing Mo Wuji''s frustration with cultivation, she put in great efforts to teach him the basics of cultivation. If Mo Wuji had a conscience, he would not pursue for the rent. What happened in reality was actually in accordance with her expectations; Mo Wuji did not ask for rent, and was even extremely grateful to her. How could she expect that Mo Wuji would actually ask to borrow some money? If she knew that would happen, she would definitely not open her room door. But she had no other choice, she could no longer bear the hunger. ¡°Gu Gu¡­¡± Shen Lian''s stomach rumbled loudly. Mo Wuji subconsciously looked downwards. Shen Lian¡¯s entire face swelled a bright, rosy red. She had not eaten ever since she entered she first entered this suite. She had been paying close attention Mo Wuji''s door. The moment it opened, Mo Wuji would definitely be leaving to have a meal, and she would hop on for a free meal. ¡°You don''t even have enough money for a meal?¡± Mo Wuji patted his forehead speechlessly. This was his first time meeting a woman who did not even have enough to eat. It would seem normal if her circumstances were like his and Yan¡¯Er¡¯s. But she was someone who previously stayed in this grand Tian Luo Hotel. She was definitely not someone poor, she probably spent all her money unknowingly. Shen Lian became more awkward, but she raised her head in a straightforward manner. ¡°That''s right. I don''t have anymore money, and I was just intending to follow you for a meal. If you are willing to lend me money, I would answer any questions you have on cultivation ¡° Mo Wuji answered weakly, ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­ let''s go and eat.¡± He was intending to borrow money from Shen Lian, but now he was the one lending her money. He was even treating her to a meal. What logic was that? You truly cannot judge a person by her cover. ¡­ ¡°Rest assured. I will pay you back twofold.¡± As the two left Tian Luo Hotel, Shen Lian noticed Mo Wuji looking a little frustrated. She thought that Mo Wuji was still worried about the money so she took the initiative to console him. Mo Wuji waved his hand, ¡°Don''t worry, this is just small money.¡± What he was worried about was the concoction of the channel opening solution. More importantly, he was also concerned about where he could find a place to force open his meridians. After all, his meridians required lightning to open. ¡°You look like you have something on your mind?¡± Shen Lian asked curiously. Mo Wuji was too lazy to answer her; pointing towards a nearby restaurant, he said, ¡°Let''s eat here. I still have something to do afterwards.¡± Chapter 56: Expensive Drug Refining Equipment Chapter 56: Expensive Drug Refining Equipment Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: With two stunned waiters looking at them, Mo Wuji and Shen Ling gobbled down a table full of dishes. The waiters¡¯ gaze soon changed to one of reverence, and they looked on as Mo Wuji and Shen Ling left. Those waiters had met men who had large appetites in the past, but never before was there a woman who could eat that much too. Not only did she have a big appetite, but more importantly she also possessed a level of beauty that neither waiter had seen before. Such a gorgeous woman wolfing down a table of dishes was the complete opposite of what they had expected. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Shen, since you have already had your fill, how about you head back first. I¡¯ll go attend to some issues.¡± Mo Wuji urgently wanted to shake Shen Lian off before going to buy medicinal ingredients and drug refining equipment. Shen Lian was still wary of Mo Wuji when she initially interacted with him, but now after a meal together and a long discussion about cultivation, she felt more familiar with him. Shen Lian threw that bit of caution to the wind. ¡°I have nothing to do back at the apartment and was planning to go shopping anyway. What are you going to buy? Perhaps I can give you some suggestions.¡± It became apparent that he would not be able to get rid of this nuisance. Mo Wuji had no choice but to reveal his plan, ¡°I intend to go to buy some equipment for refining drugs. Why would I need you to tag along for that?¡± ¡°You are going to buy a pill furnace? How does one who has not even started cultivating buy a pill furnace?¡± Shen Ling asking in a surprised tone. Mo Wuji explained himself, ¡°I¡¯m not going to buy a pill furnace, only some normal equipment for refining drugs to try my luck on the path of a drug refiner. You¡¯re also aware of my lack of talent in cultivating. If I can become a drug refiner, even if I fail to cultivate, I¡¯ll still be able to earn a living.¡± Shen Lian nodded empathetically, ¡°You¡¯re not wrong, but there¡¯s no future for a drug refiner. If there¡¯s something that¡¯s worth learning, it would be the skills of a pill refiner.¡± ¡°Will you teach me pill refining techniques? If you¡¯re willing to, then I won¡¯t mind learning how to refine pills,¡± snorted Mo Wuji. Awkwardly, Shen Lian replied, ¡°There¡¯s too much investment required to become a pill refiner. Since you can¡¯t cultivate, it¡¯ll still be better for you to learn the ways of a drug refiner.¡± How could she not know how hard it was to train in pill refining when her own father was a pill refiner? Realising that her suggestions were not that realistic, Shen Lian added on, ¡°In the whole of Chang Luo City, Xing He Pill Pavilion has the best pill furnaces. Not only are the pills there top notch, but they also make the highest quality pill furnaces. But my recommendation is for you to go to Luo Hai Merchant House. Even though their pill furnaces are not as good as those at Xing He Pill Pavilion, but their drug refining equipment is the best in the whole Xing He Empire.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to Luo Hai Merchant House then.¡± Mo Wuji said without hesitation. He was not going to refine pills anyway, and what¡¯s more was that he knew Luo Hai Merchant House pretty well. ¡­ ¡°Sir, what are you looking for today? I¡¯ll definitely show you the highest quality goods with the lowest prices.¡± Mo Wuji immediately found the shop assistant that sold him the . ¡°Do you have any immortal grade drug refining equipment, something on the same level as the ?¡± Mo Wuji said while patting the assistant¡¯s shoulders. The shop assistant felt rather embarrassed. He had tricked Mo Wuji into buying themanual, and now Mo Wuji brought it up, obviously reminding him not to fool him with something similar. ¡°Kekeke¡­¡± a crisp laugh came from the side, as she heard Mo Wuji praise the , she could not hold it in any longer. It was one thing to skillfully package the , a book that could be found everywhere, as the , but it was another to describe it as a top notch technique. What a joke. Mo Wuji turned around to see two women, one of which he recognised. Qu Wan¡¯Er, the woman he had met on the ship, was the last person he expected to meet here. ¡°So it¡¯s senior Qu. Thanks for helping me diffuse the situation on the ship.¡± Mo Wuji greeted her with a heart full of gratitude. Slightly embarrassed, Qu Wan¡¯Er replied, ¡°Sorry about that, my friend was not intentionally laughing at you.¡± However, it was apparent that it was Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s friend who laughed. After Qu Wan¡¯Er finished speaking, she instinctively took a glance at Shen Lian. She could not understand why Shen Lian, someone who appeared to be a cultivator, would hang around Mo Wuji, who had only mortal roots. Mo Wuji waved her off, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Maybe to you it¡¯s just a mere , but for someone like me who has never cultivated before, it is the highest qualitywhich can make a mortal, immortal. Just take it as I¡¯m ignorant about the outside world.¡± This time even the cold and unfeeling Qu Wan¡¯Er could not keep it in anymore and burst out in laughter. ¡°Sir, I have a set of the drug refining equipment that you¡¯re looking for. It¡¯s called the Eternal Evergreen. Unlike the , it¡¯s really named the Eternal Evergreen. It was imported from a faraway land, and has been idling in the shop because not many people use machines to refine drugs. The quality of this set of equipment definitely outclasses the rest by many times, and the drugs that it produces are of high purity.¡± The shop assistant frantically added on to his description of the equipment, seeing that Mo Wuji was staring at him again. ¡°How much does it cost?¡± Mo Wuji asked directly. He had bought many low quality equipment back in Cheng Yu State at around one to two thousand gold coins. Even if the equipment were much better here and there were a tenfold increase in price, he would still be able to afford it. ¡°370 thousand gold coins¡­¡± The shop assistant¡¯s words completed rained on Mo Wuji¡¯s parade. He barely had 30 thousand gold coins on him, nowhere close to 370 thousand. ¡°Well I have a stalk of Two-leaved Fire Grass with me, will you accept it as payment instead?¡± Mo Wuji asked hopefully. By his estimates, the Two-leaved Fire Grass was worth far less than the Clear Sight Fruit but he had no other way than to try his luck. ¡°Ah, you have a stalk of Two-leaved Fire Grass? Could you sell it to me? I¡¯ll pay 400 thousand gold coins!¡± Qu Wan¡¯Er suddenly screamed out. ¡°You want the Two-leaved Fire Grass?¡± Mo Wuji doubtfully asked. Qu Wan¡¯Er nodded, ¡°Yes, I need the Two-leaved Fire Grass, here¡¯s the 400 thousand in gold notes.¡± Without waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s reply, Qu Wan¡¯Er took out four 100 thousand gold notes. All four were fron Luo Hai Merchant House, so there would be no issues with exchanging them for gold coins here. Mo Wuji swiftly retrieved a wooden box and passed it to Qu Wan¡¯Er, thanking her at the same time. ¡°I should be the one thanking you. I¡¯ll be making a move first, until next time.¡± Qu Wan¡¯Er grabbed the wooden box, tugged at the woman beside her, and quickly exited the merchant house. The four gold notes went into the shop assistant¡¯s hands, ¡°Could you help me get the highest quality drug refining equipment that you mentioned?¡± The shop assistant never thought that he would close such a big deal this fast, and he rushed to keep the gold notes, before replying respectfully, ¡°Please wait for a moment, I will deliver that set of drug refining equipment to you immediately.¡± Once the shop assistant left, Shen Lian started to speak, ¡°I find this very weird. Even though the Two-leaved Fire Grass is quite rare, but it¡¯s still not worth that much. The Senior Qu that you¡¯re acquainted with seems to train mainly in water style techniques too. Why would she pay such a high price to buy your stalk of Two-leaved Fire Grass?¡± Mo Wuji replied coldly, ¡°None of your business.¡± In reality, once Qu Wan¡¯Er said that she urgently needed the Two-leaved Fire Grass, Mo Wuji knew that she was lying. She was not well-versed in telling lies, as it did not suit her personality at all. However since she already made her offer, it would not be polite for him to refuse. Regardless of the reason behind her actions, Mo Wuji still accepted this act of goodwill, taking note of this instance of kindness. ¡­ ¡°Wan¡¯Er, don¡¯t tell me that you have feelings for that kid? I know that you need the Two-leaved Fire Grass too, but why would you give him 400 thousand gold coins?¡± Qu Wan¡¯Er was grilled by the woman beside her the moment they stepped out of Luo Hai Merchant House. Qu Wan¡¯Er calmly replied, ¡°He only has mortal roots.¡± Upon hearing that Mo Wuji only had Mortal Roots, Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s partner immediately knew that she definitely did not fancy him. But she still looked at her with eyes full of doubt. Qu Wan¡¯Er continued, ¡°Even though he is just a mortal, the level of determination and resilience is something that I¡¯ve never seen before in my whole life. Being struck by wave after wave of lighting, even cultivators would have retreated, but he didn¡¯t. Time after time he was beaten back by the streaks of lightning from the lightning crocodiles; time and again he forged forward, at last using his mortal body to kill both lightning crocodiles.¡± ¡°So what? He¡¯s just another musclehead.¡± Qu Wan¡¯Er shook her head, ¡°If he were a musclehead, he would not have killed two lightning crocodiles. This incident proved that he knows where his limits are. He knew that during the fight to the death, both lightning crocodiles would die in his hands. Unfortunately, he¡¯s just a mortal¡­¡± Chapter 57: Always Friends Chapter 57: Always Friends Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The sales assistant quickly brought over a set of drug refining equipment. Mo Wuji had seen such equipment countless times before. In fact, he had been among the few who used the most premier equipments back on Earth. The moment the Eternal Evergreen was brought over, Mo Wuji could tell that it was good stuff; it was far better than the trashy equipment back in Cheng Yu. Even though its features were not the same as those on Earth, Mo Wuji actually felt that it was more suitable for refining drugs. ¡°Your Eternal Evergreen has arrived. It looks quite advanced,¡± Shen Ling spoke in a disapproving tone. It would be fine if Mo Wuji had a lot of money. However, she knew that Mo Wuji did not have that much money. As a person who was not wealthy, not only was he staying in a grand suite which cost 10 thousand gold per month, he even spent 370 thousand on useless drug refining equipment. It was simply preposterous! She did not believe that Mo Wuji would be successful, albeit in drug or pill refining. Not everyone could be a drug refiner; one needed knowledge as well as talent to be one. Mo Wuji thoroughly checked through his equipment and said casually, ¡°I already have the Immortal Mortal Technique. I should call this equipment: Basic Drug Refining Kit. If not, people would get jealous.¡± Shen Lian almost laughed out loud. This drug refining equipment and that Basics to Cultivation would call for jealousy? ¡°Sister Shen Lian, can you help me bring this equipment back to the hotel? I still need to get some ingredients.¡± Mo Wuji saw Shen Lian¡¯s face revealing an unhappy expression and he did not continue talking. He hurriedly took out a one thousand gold note and said, ¡°If I return late, Sister Lian can take this and have a good meal. You don''t have to wait for me.¡± Shen Lian did not even have money for a meal. When Mo Wuji took the note out, she immediately snatched it and kept it. The reason she followed Mo Wuji was to find a chance to borrow money from him. She couldn''t have been waiting and following him for meals all the time, right? One thousand gold was enough to last her for some time. After sending Shen Lian off, Mo Wuji started exploring and shopping for ingredients. Chang Luo was the royal empire of Xing Han Empire. As long as you had money, there was nothing you couldn''t buy in Chang Luo. At the end of the day, Mo Wuji returned to Tian Luo Hotel with a huge bag. He purchased enough ingredients to brew 50 batches of the channel opening solution. The price of the ingredients he required wasn''t high, so he bought as much as he could. For instance, for lingzhi fungi, he tried to purchase those above 200 years old. For lingzhi, anything below a thousand years in age would not be considered a spiritual ingredient. Furthermore, a thousand year lingzhi itself was graded as a low grade spiritual ingredient, and wouldn''t cost much. Additionally, he bought a whole pile of dried rations. The worst thing that could happen while refining drugs is interruptions and disruptions in refining. Thus, it would be quite some time before he would actually leave his room. When he returned to the suite, he did not see Shen Lian. Shen Lian had put his equipment in the living room. Mo Wuji did not need to know much about Shen Lian to know that she must be from great origins. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not try to find out what she was doing or intended to do. Returning to his room, Mo Wuji immediately started the concoction of the channel opening solution. Mo Wuji had concocted tens of batches of channel opening solution before. Thus, it was as simple as flipping his palm to him. For a few consecutive days, Mo Wuji did not leave his room. Shen Lian could smell herbal smells emanating from Mo Wuji''s room and knew that he was refining drugs. As a cultivator, she knew that it was taboo to disturb others whether it was in cultivation or drug refining. Furthermore, she was not familiar with Mo Wuji, so she wasn''t really concerned about what went on throughout the night in Mo Wuji''s room. After every three days, Mo Wuji would take a break and go out for a stroll before returning to his work. In such a manner, Mo Wuji spent approximately 20 days to finish all 50 batches of his ingredients. In these 20 days, he lost a lot of weight. With 50 batches of ingredients, he managed to concoct 46 bottles of channel opening solution. If he was not doing it in a hurry, he would not have wasted any of the ingredients. When he came out again, he still did not see Shen Lian. Spring Immortal''s Gate was opening in the coming few days. Mo Wuji had to grab all the time he could to find a lightning source to force open his meridians. It was not entirely impossible to find a lightning source here. Chang Luo was near the sea, so he might actually be able to find some Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. However, Mo Wuji did not dare to find the lightning crocodiles alone. It took him so much to finally cultivate; he wasn''t going to simply send himself to die. Perhaps he could look around Chang Luo, and maybe find a team to hunt for lightning crocodiles. ¡­ ¡°Wuji¡­¡± As Mo Wuji was about to enter the Chang Luo Union gate, a familiar voice called out to him. ¡°Zhenyi, why are with Bu¡¯Er?¡± Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised, but before he continued, he stopped abruptly and asked, ¡°Bu¡¯Er, who hit you?¡± A whole half of Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s face was swollen; a red palm mark was still visible on his face. ¡°This is not the right place to talk. Let''s enter the union first,¡± Yuan Zhenyi said and dragged Ding Bu''Er and Mo Wuji into the union. ¡°What happened?¡± Mo Wuji did not even sit down as he stared at Ding Bu''Er and asked. Ding Bu''Er was not as carefree and generous as Yuan Zhenyi but he was still a good friend. Furthermore, if not for his calls back in the Thunder Fog Forest, Mo Wuji might not end up where he was today. Ding Bu''Er waved his fist angrily and said, ¡° It was Cao Hao. If I ever have the ability in the future, I will definitely trample that b*stard¡¯s head right under my feet¡­¡± Ding Bu''Er did not continue; he knew he was merely talking nonsense. Cao Hao was a genius with impressive spiritual roots, unlike him, who only had mortal roots. How could a person without spiritual roots compete against Cao Hao? Talking about trampling Cao Hao was just an attempt to vent his frustrations. Mo Wuji said calmly, ¡°You can take your time and talk.¡± Yuan Zhenyi helped Ding Bu''Er to tell his story, ¡°Ding Bu''Er was always following beside Han Ning. When they reached Chang Luo, Cao Hao brought an immortal master to meet Han Ning, specially for the Two-leaved Fire Grass. The Two-leaved Fire Grass was particularly important to the immortal master. After accepting the grass from Han Ning, he immediately took out a wooden plaque and passed it to Han Ning, accepting her as an outer disciple in his sect.¡± At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood why Han Ning was desperately looking for the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Looks like that woman had already made plans; even if she did not get selected during the Spring Immortal''s Gate, she could still be an outer disciple. It was not a bad plan. ¡°The immortal master''s surname was Lu. After he kept the two strains of Two-leaved Fire Grass, it was seemingly not enough, and he continued to ask Han Ning where she found it¡­¡± Yuan Zhenyi stopped here as Ding Bu''Er interrupted and said, ¡°This was when I spoke too much, and blurted that you were the one who found it. When the immortal master asked where you managed to find it, Han Ning told him that you found the grass growing by a lake on the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest. The immortal master did not continue speaking and immediately took off. However, I did not expect that Cao Hao would start hitting me the moment he left. He pushed me to the ground and started kicking me¡­¡± ¡°Han Ning did not say anything?¡± Mo Wuji asked solemnly. Ding Bu¡¯Er shook his head, ¡°No. After Cao Hao was done with me, Han Ning came over and told me that she no longer needed me. I was not a fool. I know when I have been abandoned. I did not have anywhere to stay so I went to find Brother Zhenyi.¡± Mo Wuji stood up, patted Ding Bu''Er¡¯s shoulder and consoled him, ¡°Don''t worry. One day, I will help you take your revenge.¡± Ding Bu''Er¡¯s words had downplayed Han Ning''s efforts in finding the Two-leaved Fire Grass. Naturally, she would be unhappy. With her self-serving attitude, it was expected that she chased Dong Bu¡¯Er away. Yuan Zhenyi also stood up, ¡°Wuji, my matter in Chang Luo has also been settled. I''m not going to be participating in the Spring Immortal''s Gate. Instead, I will leave Chang Luo to pursue the path of martial arts. How about you and Ding Bu''Er?¡± ¡°Martial arts? Is this because you don''t have spiritual roots?¡± Mo Wuji was actually prepared to share the matter of the channel opening solution with Yuan Zhenyi and Ding Bu''Er. Yuan Zhenyi shook his head and lifted his head up towards the grand ceiling. ¡°Even if I have spiritual roots, I would still choose to pursue the martial arts. I already had this determination before I reached Chang Luo. Now that I am set on my path, maybe we might meet again someday; maybe we might never meet again. Wuji, Bu¡¯Er, this is where we''ll bid farewell. Whether we see each other in the future of not, we will always be friends.¡± Finishing his speech, Yuan Zhenyi turned and walked out the Union. Before Mo Wuji could even say anything, he was already a distance away. As Mo Wuji and Ding Bu''Er walked out the Union, they could faintly hear him singing from afar, ¡°... Today we bid farewell. Maybe we''ll meet someday. Even if we don''t meet. We''ll always be friends¡­¡± Chapter 58: Setting out to sea Chapter 58: Setting out to sea Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Brother Zhenyi is indeed a carefree person..." Ding Bu''Er said as he sighed after the backview of Yuan Zhenyi disappeared. "Bu''Er, I''m going to hunt for some 6-footed Lightning Crocodiles by the beach. Why don''t you stay over at my place and wait for me to return, then we shall head over to the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference together?" Mo Wuji offered his home to Diner Bu¡¯er guessing that he would have no other place to stay after leaving Han Ning. Ding Bu''Er looked shockingly at Mo Wuji, "Wuji, you do know how strong and powerful those lightning crocodiles are right? Why would you be so eager to die?" Mo Wuji looked in the direction that Yuan Zhenyi had headed and said in a deep voice, "Zhenyi has his own dreams to chase and so do I. Even without spiritual roots, I have to carve out a path for myself. You should know that I am quite resistant to lightning and have killed two lightning crocodiles previously. I know it''s dangerous but it is a choice that I''ve made. If I do not make it back alive, you are free to do whatever you want." Ding Bu''Er clenched his fist as he felt more regret instead of shock. How could he just idle around when both Yuan Zhenyi and Mo Wuji had such ambitions of their own? "Wuji, I will follow you. If you manage to hunt down a Lightning Crocodile, I will even go to the extent of helping you retrieve valuable material from it," Ding Bu''Er made up his mind very quickly. Rather than being treated like a dog with no respect, he might as well live a life of danger and die without any regrets. Wait, who could guarantee that they would die anyway? "Why don''t the both of you join us to hunt for lightning crocodiles?" A tall brawny man said with a coarse voice. This fellow with a huge waist is definitely over two metres tall. Behind this tall brawny man was a much skinnier and shorter man as well as a woman with neat short hair. "Are the three of you planning to hunt for lightning crocodiles too?" Mo Wuji asked skeptically because he did not believe there was such a coincidence. The tall brawny man said while laughing, "You do not have to worry. We are not out to hunt for lightning crocodiles. We crossed paths with a lot of lightning crocodiles on the way to our destination so we could be of use to each other." "May I ask what are you people searching for?" Mo Wuji asked bluntly because he felt that it was important to know each other''s intent if they were going to help each other. "This is nothing worth hiding from you. We are going to search for the eggs of a Winged Sea Leopard. The price of these eggs are bound to skyrocket as the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference draws closer. If we are fortunate, we could use these eggs to become a service disciple in a sect. In fact, if look around you, you''ll notice that most of these teams are out to search for the eggs of a Winged Sea Leopard." "What kind of sea beast is this?" Mo Wuji was very confused about these demons. The tall brawny man replied, ¡°Ha, if I did not hear that you managed to kill two lightning crocodiles, I would have doubted your strength. The Winged Sea Leopard is not a sea beast. It is a lesser demon and its greatest ability is flying. Many cultivators choose the Winged Sea Leopard as their mode of transport because as long as you have their eggs, they are very easy to tame. Furthermore, the Winged Sea Leopard can travel on land and water. There are still some wild Winged Sea Leopards hidden along the beach of Chang Luo. The combat effectiveness of the Winged Sea Leopard is not that strong as compared to the lightning crocodiles but the frustrating thing is that these Wing Sea Leopards usually choose to stay in areas with lightning crocodiles around. Lightning crocodiles are very good at long ranged attacks and their lightning attacks are especially hard to block against." Mo Wuji believed his words but he was still unable to figure out the reason why they wanted to team up with Ding Bu''Er and himself. Even though he mentioned that he managed to kill two lightning crocodiles, who knew what methods he used? How could the three of them be so easily convinced that they were strong enough? However, Mo Wuji did not think he had anything to lose by teaming up with them hence answered, "Alright, I agree to team up with you under one condition. If we are under attack by too many lightning crocodiles, everyone has to help out. In addition, we would love to have some of the eggs if we managed to collect more." "I like it, that''s a deal. My name is Ji Guang and these are my companions, Gao Juan and Sun Liyan. Do you need time to prepare? We can leave right away if you''re ready." Mo Wuji hurried to reply, "Why don''t we leave now? I have nothing much to prepare. How long will the trip be?" Ji Guang replied, "We will take at most a day to reach the Seven-angled Sea. We should be able to find the eggs in a couple of days if we''re lucky. If not, we¡¯ll not be able to find it even after the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference starts. However, do not worry because the three of us want to visit the conference as well so we will not waste our time there for too long." ... There were rumours were Chang Luo City got its name because it is a city located near Chang Luo sea, thus it is also known as Seaside city. Chang Luo sea is vast and boundless with numerous danger sites. The danger site closest to Chang Luo City would be the Seven-angled Sea. The Seven-angled Sea consists of seven continuous sea canyons forming a small sea in between. It is the closest to Chang Luo where the Winged Sea Leopards are most commonly spotted. In recent years, the number of Winged Sea Leopards captured have been increasing. Therefore, we do not see many of the Winged Sea Leopards in Seven-angled Sea anymore. To capture a Winged Sea Leopard, we might have to set out to sea for nearly a day. Mo Wuji and his team left before the sun set and reached the Seven-angled Sea in the morning. "There are indeed quite a lot of people here," Mo Wuji could notice a large number of beast carriages and even some flying beast carriages parked here. Ji Guang said cautiously, "Everyone please be careful because most of the people here come for the eggs of the Winged Sea Leopard. We should try our best to avoid getting close to the people here as many of them live off robbing others of the eggs that they managed to collect. It looks like we have to set out to sea to look for these eggs." "We have to take a boat right? To set out to sea. Will we be heading out on a boat with a lot of people?" A puzzled DIng Bu''Er questioned Ji Guang. The quiet Gao Juan sneered at Ding Bu''Er and said, "If a lot of us set out to sea together, how would we have the opportunity to capture the eggs?" Ji Guang added, "Even though there is a boat rental shop nearby, I did not intent on renting a boat. We brought something of our own." Ji Guang then took out a big parcel from his bag which Mo Wuji had been wondering what was inside for some time now. "What is this?" DIng Bu''Er could not help but ask. Mo Wuji could tell it is an inflatable rubber dinghy. However, he was sure it was not as simple as a normal rubber dinghy. "This is an inflatable rubber dinghy," Ji Guang pulled out a cap and the rubber dinghy started to inflate itself. In a few seconds, the rubber dinghy stretched out to seven metres long and three metres wide. "This is very convenient," Ding Bu''Er said surprisingly. Mo Wuji kept quiet because he knew that this thing could be very risky. Once they set out to sea with this and met any demonic beasts, this thing could sink in one bite. This was not his main worry. His main worry is that there are no motor on board this dinghy. How are we going to move this? Ji Guang took out four paddles from another bag, "Except for Brother Mo, all four of us take one and with our speed, we should be able to reach our destination before the sun sets. This region should only have lightning crocodiles and not any other demonic beasts." After he finished his words, his eyes fell on Mo Wuji and said,"Brother Mo, you are capable of resisting against lightning attacks. If we were attacked by the lightning crocodiles, please help block the attacks. If the four of us row at our full might, as long as we go past the region, the lightning crocodiles would not follow us. Mo Wuji finally understood why he was asked to join their team even though they could tell that both Ding Bu''Er and himself were not strong. By getting Ding Bu''Er and himself in their team, they got themselves a person to help row the dinghy and a person to tank and resists the lightning attacks from the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. Chapter 59: Single-handed Chapter 59: Single-handed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Ding Bu''Er also understood what was going on; it turned out that they were being used. ¡°Wuji¡­¡± Ding Bu''Er turned to Mo Wuji, his face turned unsightly. Mo Wuji already had his suspicions when Ji Guang invited Ding Bu''Er and him into the team. Now that things had become clear, he did not panic, but actually calmed down and said, ¡°This means that we have some value. If we didn''t have value, Brother Ji probably wouldn''t have invited us, right?¡± By the time he uttered the last sentence, Mo Wuji had already turned and faced Ji Guang. In truth, he did not mind. Ji Guang was making use of him, at the same time, he was also making use of Ji Guang. If Ji Guang did not lead the way, it would have been extremely difficult to get here. Furthermore, he found himself three additional helpers. Ji Guang felt that he was making use of Mo Wuji because he didn''t know Mo Wuji actually wanted to be attacked by lightning. Lightning was a nightmare for people like Ji Guang. However, it was the highest opportunity for Mo Wuji. If he did not have anything to offer, it would have been as he said; no one would be willing to accept him and Ding Bu''Er into their teams. ¡°Good, Brother Mo sure is open-minded. Come, let''s set off,¡± Finishing this sentence, Ji Guang hopped on the leather boat. Seeing Mo Wuji agree, Ding Bu''Er did not speak any further, directly picking up the paddle and hopping on the rubber dinghy together with Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji initially thought that with four men paddling the dinghy, its speed would not be very fast. However, after actually being on the dinghy, his thinking proved to be false. The design of the rubber dinghy was incredibly ingenious. With just four people paddling, the dinghy was seemingly gliding through the water, with a speed as fast as a motorboat. Mo Wuji observed that the rubber dinghy was able to minimise the water resistance. However, it had some weak points. With just four people, there weren''t any shifts and rest time. Furthermore, the rubber dinghy could be easily torn. Two hours later, the sky turned dark. ¡°Everyone, let''s take a break. It looks like a storm is brewing,¡± Mo Wuji suggested after he noticed Ding Bu''Er barely holding on. Ji Guang nodded and said, ¡°Sure. We will take a break here to rest and eat. After half an hour, we will continue.¡± The group did not manage to rest for half an hour. After 20 minutes, lightning flashed, thunder crashed and raindrops the size of soybeans started to descend down on them. Mo Wuji took this time to check on the rubber dinghy; it had an automatic water draining feature, but it did not have a shelter to protect them from the rain. ¡°Ka¡­¡± Another bolt of lightning descended. This time, however, Ji Guang started to shout alarmingly, ¡°The lightning crocodiles are here. Everyone, don''t fight them. We''ll let Brother Mo handle them. While he helps us block the attacks, we will need to paddle faster. The faster we paddle, the lower the pressure on Brother Mo¡­¡± Ji Guang did not manage to finish speaking as an enormous lightning crocodile pounced towards them. Before it even landed, a flash of lightning had already approached Mo Wuji, who was standing at the rear of the dinghy. Mo Wuji had no disapprovals with Ji Guang''s plan. These lightning crocodiles easily bore grudges; they would fight to the death when provoked. It was best to avoid directly confronting them. This time, Mo Wuji brought a saber. He did not need Ji Guang to remind him; he immediately drained a bottle of channel opening solution and used his body to block the lightning. At the same time, he thrusted the saber towards the lightning crocodile''s throat. Mo Wuji was already considered a Channel Opening Stage Level 1 cultivator. He was no longer a rookie and he immediately started on the spiritual energy circulation technique. Previously, he had to rely on great efforts and some luck to draw the lightning into his meridians. Now with the help of the circulation technique, he easily drew the lightning bolt into his meridians. Mo Wuji almost cried tears of joy. He was right in finding a cultivation manual. If he did not have a cultivation technique, how could he have drawn the lightning bolt in so easily? ¡°Ka¡­¡± With another lightning bolt, Mo Wuji felt as though his fourth meridian was almost completely opened. The rubber dinghy rocked heavily. At the rear of the dinghy, Mo Wuji was stabbing the lightning crocodile''s throat without stop. Mo Wuji could only get one stab in for every three to four lightning bolt which landed on him. Despite being struck, Mo Wuji was indescribably happy. After reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 1, he knew how fast his progress could be. Furthermore, with the spiritual energy circulation technique which drew the lightning directly into his meridians, the damage he suffered was reduced. In the past, ten bolts of lightning would have sent him flying, paralysing him for a long time. Now, he had been hit by more than ten lightning bolts but he was still well and fine. Furthermore, the opening of his meridians became much easier. What ? This cultivation technique really deserved to be called the . With just ten lightning bolts, his fifth meridian got forced open. If he wanted to, he could have killed this lightning crocodile a long time ago. However, he was afraid of scaring away the other lightning crocodiles so he stayed his hand. Ji Guang and Co. saw bolt after bolt land on Mo Wuji. Seeing him hold on valiantly, they all heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like Mo Wuji wasn''t lying; he had the ability to resist the lightning crocodiles, he probably had some special constitution. In the past, when they encountered lightning crocodiles, they could only run and retreat, without any ability to resist. Now with Mo Wuji, they had some means of resisting. As Mo Wuji forced open his sixth meridian, another two lightning bolts landed on him from the side. The lightning crocodile finally had some reinforcements. Mo Wuji no longer showed any mercy. The saber in his hand sped up, stabbing the lightning crocodile¡¯s throat, sending its dead, inanimate corpse down into the sea. The lightning crocodile''s body had materials which were worth money, but Mo Wuji had no intentions of collecting the corpses. Even though the rubber dinghy was not small, amassing these corpses would cause the dinghy to slow down. Even though Mo Wuji could use the lightning to open his meridians, he was not able to fully absorb it; a portion of the lightning would land in his body. Soon, his flesh started to tear and his skin charred black. When Ji Guang and Co. saw the three lightning crocodiles gang up against Mo Wuji, their blood ran cold. However, they did not expect Mo Wuji to suddenly burst with god-like strength, directly killing one of the lightning crocodile. Seeing Mo Wuji block bolt after bolt of lightning, Ji Guang started to feel that it was really a wise decision to have invited Mo Wuji. After killing the lightning crocodile, Mo Wuji continued to use the channel opening solution and accept the blows of the two remaining lightning crocodiles. Very soon, Ji Guang and Co. found that Mo Wuji had relied on luck to kill the previous crocodile. Mo Wuji looked like he was no longer able to kill the lightning crocodiles. He only managed to get one stab in after being struck more than ten times. The lightning crocodile had incredible vitality; one or two stabs was nothing to it. Worried that Mo Wuji could no longer bear the lightning crocodiles¡¯ relentless assault, Ji Guang and Co. paddled with their lives. Ding Bu¡¯Er wanted to help Mo Wuji, but he knew he wasn''t even able to withstand a single lightning bolt. As a result, he could only paddle as hard as he can, to get out of the lightning crocodile''s attack zone. However, the lightning crocodile moves extremely fast in water. How could they be so easily ditched? Under the crazed storm, the rubber dinghy sped forward. At the rear, Mo Wuji was fighting the lightning crocodiles in the rain. The constant flashes of lightning let Ji Guang and Co. know that Mo Wuji was not dead, but still fighting on. Mo Wuji had already lost the initial excitement and agitation in his heart. He no longer showed mercy. Slowly, each movement he made started to get harder. Even though these lightning bolts could help him endlessly open his meridians, he was too weak to exploit it. His physical body, being only at Channel Opening Stage Level 1, was reaching its limits. ¡°Kaka¡­¡± Three consecutive lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji, two of which were circulated into his clogged meridians, while the last one roasted a large part of his meat. When the 19th meridian got forced open, Mo Wuji fiercely gritted his teeth and rushed towards the lightning crocodile. He cannot fall, if he falls, he would directly be killed. All his previous efforts would be wasted. He was a mortal with mortal roots. He needed to persevere and push on to succeed. Half a day passed, even Ji Guang started to grow weak. He did not know how Mo Wuji could last for so long. The heavy storm made the rear look extremely hazy. Ji Guang and Co. did not even know what was going on back there, and how many crocodiles Mo Wuji faced. Mo Wuji was like a tough nail, singlehandedly holding the rear; he was strong and infallible. Even Mo Wuji did not know how many lightning crocodiles he met. If the rubber dinghy was not constantly moving forward, they would have been surrounded a long time ago. He had killed more than ten lightning crocodiles, but the lightning crocodiles seemed to be coming unceasingly. The 26th meridian finally opened. Mo Wuji finished another bottle of channel opening solution and discovered that he only had seven bottles left. At this moment, his entire body felt weak, all the bones in his body felt like they were broken. He was able to stand on sheer willpower alone. ¡°Ka¡­¡± Another lightning crocodile was struck into the sea. At the same time, Mo Wuji''s 27th meridian was perforated. ¡°Ka¡­¡± Yet another lightning bolt landed on Mo Wuji''s chest. Even though he had opened 27 meridians, his ability was still at the Channel Opening Stage Level 1. After spending so long in the storm and being constantly struck by lightning, Mo Wuji was mentally and physically exhausted. Ultimately, he was made of flesh and blood, and not steel. He could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily. Chapter 60: Only With Power Comes Respect Chapter 60: Only With Power Comes Respect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji was completely drained, and the four paddling the boat was not really better off. Seeing that Mo Wuji was unable to strike back, Ji Guang and the others paddling with greater fervor. Even though the rubber dinghy had a certain level of resistance against lightning attacks, but with the sheer number of attacks absorbed, its structure was close to giving way. Moreover the whole fiasco was going on in the rain. At least after Mo Wuji killed 10 over lightning crocodiles, there were only two to three chasing after them. More importantly, these few crocodiles had serious injuries inflicted by Mo Wuji. As Mo Wuji stopped his assault, the rubber dinghy quickly accelerated and left the critically injured crocodiles in its wake. Without the boat in sight, the crocodiles soon lost any reason for their rage. Lightning crocodiles were rather peculiar demons as they bore grudges. The greater the grudge, the greater their vitality, offensive strength, and explosiveness. They would also recognise targets too. Unless faced with overwhelming attacks that left them with no way to fight back, they would not retreat. Around two hours later, the storm ceased, and they arrived at a small island barely five hundred metres wide. Mo Wuji had recovered some energy, but on the other hand Ji Guang and the three others were overcome with fatigue. ¡°Brother Mo, we owe you big time for this. We¡¯ll be going up to rest for awhile, so please drag the boat up and hide it in the reef.¡± Ji Guang was the first to climb up onto the island, and began to refer to Mo Wuji as Brother Mo out of nowhere. Despite serious injuries and a tearing sensation all over, Mo Wuji remained the strongest within the group. ¡°Wuji, I don¡¯t know how you do it.¡± Ding Bu¡¯Er teetered and tottered but somehow managed to climb up, barely able to lift his arms at all. Both Gao Juan and Sun Liyan looked at Mo Wuji with awe, and any dismissive thoughts had already vanished completely. While they were totally drained, it was only due to intense physical activity. Mo Wuji actually acted as their shield. If it were not for him blocking all attacks from behind, the lightning crocodiles would surround the rubber dinghy and trap them all. ¡°Brother Ji, right here?¡± Mo Wuji saw a rugged island in the distance, but he could only see about a hundred metres out. Mo Wuji did not elaborate much about how he resisted the lightning crocodile¡¯s attacks. In reality, even if he did not engage those demons, Ji Guang and the others might not necessarily have been stopped by them. But of course there was still the possibility of that happening, so he still played a crucial role in their survival. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the place. I¡¯ve been here once before. Not many people know about its existence. Wuji, this time your contribution has been the greatest. However, we did not manage to recover a single lightning crocodile¡¯s body as the boat was moving too quickly. How about this, as long as we find more that two Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s eggs, you¡¯ll get one first.¡± Ji Guang spoke with sincerity, a 180 degrees change in the way he treated Mo Wuji. No one disagreed with Ji Guang¡¯s proposal, because power was everything. With the ability to block lightning crocodiles all the way way while killing over 10 of them, Mo Wuji appeared to be stronger the Ji Guang himself. This strength won the respect of everyone in the team. Mo Wuji naturally had no objections. He was here neither to harvest ingredients from lightning crocodile¡¯s bodies, nor to search for Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s eggs, but to utilise the attacks of the lightning crocodiles to burst open his meridians. Now that his primary objective had been achieved, it didn¡¯t hurt to get a few Winged Sea Leopard eggs. ¡°My suggestion is for us to set up camp for the night, then leave at dawn tomorrow.¡± Everyone was fatigued with little to no sleep, and Mo Wuji knew that. To search for Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s eggs in this sort of situation would be suicide, even for him. Moreover, he had similarly heavy injuries which required at least a night to recover. Gao Juan nodded, ¡°I agree with Brother Mo¡¯s plan. Let¡¯s rest here for the night before doing anything else.¡± Although Ji Guang really wanted to set off earlier, but Mo Wuji had spoken and Gao Juan agreed to it, so he went along with Mo Wuji¡¯s plan ¡­ The raging storm finally calmed down, and all that was left was the unrelenting waves that beat on the shores of the island continuously. In the team, other than Ding Bu¡¯Er, the other four people were cultivators. Hence, while Ding Bu¡¯Er lay down in a cave to sleep, the rest of the team sat cross legged to circulate their spiritual energy. Now with 27 meridians open, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation speed increased exponentially. Even without a high density of spiritual energy in the area, there was an invisible stream of spiritual energy around him. Upon waking from a night¡¯s rest, Mo Wuji felt totally refreshed. Not only had the state of his injuries improved, but his strength also increased significantly. ¡°Brother Mo, could it be that you are cultivating with the ?¡± Once everyone was awake, Ji Guang was the first to speak. He was a lowly cultivator and could not sense any movement from Mo Wuji as he cultivated. But from his posture, Ji Guang could guess that Mo Wuji was a practitioner of the . ¡°Yes indeed. It¡¯s because I can¡¯t afford other cultivation techniques.¡± Mo Wuji laughed it off. Ji Guang replied in a serious tone, ¡°Brother Mo, with your ability, you definitely can obtain a much higher quality cultivation technique. The price of a lightning crocodile is actually very high, so next time you could just find a team, rent a boat, and sail out to sea to hunt Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. Before you know it, you¡¯ll be able to afford a decent mortal grade cultivation technique. Thehas too slow a cultivation speed, and also requires a large amount of resources for cultivation. It¡¯s not worth it to continue using such a technique.¡± Mo Wuji replied indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s a miracle that I can even cultivate at all, as my spirit roots are really lousy. I don¡¯t really care how good or bad my cultivation technique is either. Moreover, my cultivation technique has a really bombastic name too, . How impressive does that sound?¡± ¡°Hahaha...¡± Ji Guang and the others doubled up from laughing, not knowing how to respond to what Mo Wuji just said. It was the first time anyone disregarded his future progression just because the name of a cultivation technique sounded impressive. ¡°Wuji, you can cultivate now?¡± Ding Bu¡¯Er asked softly. Mo Wuji patted Ding Bu¡¯Er while replying, ¡°Once we return, you can also start cultivating with the . My spirit roots are of very low quality, to the extent that they almost do not exist. Since I still managed to cultivate, why don¡¯t you give it a try too?¡± Mo Wuji decided that he would help Ding Bu¡¯Er find a way to open his spirit channels after he had firmed up things on his end. ¡°I really can cultivate?¡± Ding Bu¡¯Er eagerly inquired. Immortal Masters were existences that were completely out of his reach. Thus, since Mo Wuji said that he could cultivate too, wouldn¡¯t he be overwhelmed by excitement? Ji Guang smiled and spoke as well, ¡°As long as you have some spiritual nature in you, even with the poorest quality spirit roots, you can still cultivate. The only difference is how far you can go on the path of cultivation.¡± Hearing this, Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s became invigorated with energy. He might have a wee bit of spirit roots! What¡¯s different about his situation from Mo Wuji¡¯s was that he did not have the chance to take the test properly yet. Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine out of 10 thousand people have mortal roots, hence for someone of low status, whose ancestors all have mortal roots, he would most surely have mortal roots too. However his thoughts about this issue differed from Mo Wuji: he did not care. Only when he went to the Royal Capital, where there were large swaths of people who possessed spirit roots, did his burning spirit get ignited. The sight of mortals being bullied strengthened his resolve to become strong. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± After a night of rest, everyone had recovered to a certain extent. With a wave of his hand, Ji Guang led the team to set out. On the greatly spacious island, the five men trekked for over two hours, weaving in and out of the oddly shaped reefs and rocks. ¡°Carrying on like this won¡¯t get us anywhere.¡± Mo Wuji thought. He intended to ask Ji Guang if how he was navigating about, but he suddenly heard a blood-curdling scream. Mo Wuji was the first to drop to the ground, at the same time scanning around to identify the source of the scream: Sun Liyan, who had been quiet all this while. A large gaping hole which bled profusely could be clearly seen on his right shoulder ¡°No one move, it¡¯s an Arrow Shooting Beast. The arrows shot from one has corrosive effects, once you¡¯re hit by one, the wound will give you extreme pain. It¡¯ll make you suffer.¡± Ji Guang immediately shouted out, simultaneously passing a pill to Sun Liyan. Other than the scream after getting hit by the arrow, the rugged Sun Liyan did not make a single sound. He swallowed the pill Ji Guang gave him, and took out some medicinal powder to apply on the bleeding area before bandaging it up. The powder was highly effective, stopping the bleeding instantly. The five of them regrouped , and Ding Bu¡¯Er asked softly, ¡°Where are the Arrow Shooting Beasts? Why have I not seen a single one?¡± To that Ji Guang solemnly answered, ¡° Arrow shooting beasts are highly skilled in camouflage. Sometimes when it disguises itself as a rock, you can¡¯t even differentiate it from an actual rock. Most of those who die here searching for Winged Sea Leopards don¡¯t get killed by the Winged Sea Leopards, but by these Arrow Shooting Beasts.¡± Everyone instinctively scrutinised all rocks around them, but another scream sounded out once again. This time the five of them were aware that it did not originate from any of them. ¡°There¡¯s someone else here.¡± Just as Gao Juan¡¯s words left his mouth, two shadows were seen dashing out from the corner of the reef ahead. A large black silhouette followed closely behind them with its mouth opened up wide, gobbling up one of the two in one bite. ¡°That¡¯s the Winged Sea Leopard?¡± Ding Bu¡¯Er asked, shaking in fear. He saw that the black silhouette that swallowed one of the guys had the head of a leopard. The only difference was that this aquatic animal had a much larger mouth, and had an additional pair of black wings on its back. Mo Wuji was also paralysed by fear. Who said that the Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s offensive strength was low? This one ate a person in one bite, how is it weak? Chapter 61: Generosity Chapter 61: Generosity Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Stop talking¡­¡± Ji Guang frantically reminded. But it was too late, the Winged Sea Leopard had already heard Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s voice. With this, it kicked the other lucky survivor to one side, and pounced in Mo Wuji¡¯s direction. ¡°Everyone attack!¡± As the snarling Winged Sea Leopard sprang towards them, Ji Guang instinctively raised his glistening blade, facing his rabid foe with fiery defiance in his eyes. Gao Juan and the injured Sun Liyan followed suit. Although Ding Bu¡¯Er was weaker than the rest, but he had caused this situation to develop, hence he rushed forward without hesitation too. Out of the five of them, only Mo Wuji hung back. Not only did he hang back, but he stood completely still. He did so not out of the fear of death, but he was observing the surroundings ever since he heard Ji Guang describe the Arrow Shooting Beast. The combined effort of four men should be able to keep the Winged Sea Leopard under control, so it meant little if he did not participate. Instead, Mo Wuji expressed greater concern for the Arrow Shooting Beast that hurt Sun Liyan. Direct attacks are easy to dodge, but it¡¯s much harder to avoid sneak attacks. The presence of a camouflaged Arrow Shooting Beast worried Mo Wuji more. Indeed the events played out almost exactly as what Mo Wuji predicted it to be: Ji Guang and Co. basically absorbed the attacks of the Winged Sea Leopard. While the Winged Sea Leopard possessed a high level of brute strength, it lacked mobility. Out of the four that surrounded it, three of them, excluding Ding Bu¡¯Er, were battle-hardened with plenty of experience. Taking advantage of this, they fought to a standstill with the Winged Sea Leopard. However, gaps began to show in their offensive. The Winged Sea Leopard seized the opportunity and leveraged on its size to charge ferociously at them. Sun Liyan¡¯s injuries acted up, and within a few minutes Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s lack of strength started to show. Unable to stand up against the force that hit him, Ding Bu¡¯Er was knocked back and left a gap behind. The Winged Sea Leopard saw this, and snapped at the opportunity, biting at Ding Bu¡¯Er. Unfortunately, Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s repetitive moves had no way of adapting to the situation. As he was about to be eaten by the Winged Sea Leopard, Mo Wuji let go of all restraint and was about to leap forward. At that moment, a black shadow shot forth like an arrow, piercing through the air towards Ji Guang. Once Mo Wuji noticed that Ji Guang was also heading to rescue Ding Bu¡¯Er, he immediately turned around to face the arrow. Now he could focus on blocking the sneak attack. ¡°Ding!¡± The jet black arrow deflected off Mo Wuji¡¯s drawn blade. Fortunately, he was already at Channel Opening Stage Level One, thus he could dissipate the great force that accompanied the arrow. If he were in his pre-cultivation state, this force would have been sufficient to blow him away. After successfully shielding Ji Guang from the black arrow, Mo Wuji kicked hard against the ground, directly pouncing at a piece of exposed coral. He observed the jet black arrow originating from this particular piece. Putting one and one together, he inferred that this was the Arrow Shooting Beast. Against such a vile and cunning creature, fighting from a distance would be looking for death. Being Channel Opening Stage Level 1, coupled with 27 opened meridians, although he had not progressed to the next level, Mo Wuji¡¯s explosiveness was off the charts. A distance of over 10m was covered in a second. His long blade tore through the air with a whoosh. The unexpected attack caught the Arrow Shooting Beast by surprise. Never had it considered the possibility that Mo Wuji could block its arrow. Combined with the fast reaction time of Mo Wuji, the beast could only watch helplessly as the blade cut through its flesh. While the cut appeared on the coral, but there was the sensation of slashing through flesh. A stream of fresh blood flowed out, and the coral transformed into a shadow once again, disappearing from under the blade. Other than the slight breeze that followed, Mo Wuji did not sense any trace of the Arrow Shooting Beast anymore. Right below where the piece of coral was, lay a puddle of striking red blood. Guessing that the Arrow Shooting Beast would not emerge again, he swiftly turned to help Ji Guang and Co., and at this instant he heard the Winged Sea Leopard let out a violent roar. Ji Guang¡¯s curved sword had severed off the Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s lower jaw, and fresh blood spurted out of the wound. Full of rage, the Winged Sea Leopard lost its composure, with the two blades of Gao Juan and Sun Liyan protruding out of the back of its neck subsequently. The giant carcass of the animal fell, crushing a large piece of coral on the ground. Ji Guang paid no attention to the slain Winged Sea Leopard, but instead walked in front of Mo Wuji, thanking Mo Wuji with a bow, and said, ¡°Brother Mo, thank you for saving my life again.¡± He knew that Mo Wuji helped him to deflect the arrow from the Arrow Shooting Beast while he was busy saving Ding Bu¡¯Er¡¯s life. That arrow could have gone through his neck, fatally wounding him. ¡°Brother Ji, since everyone¡¯s part of the team, it¡¯s natural for us to look out for each other. Moreover, if it weren¡¯t for you, Bu¡¯Er would likely be dead by now.¡± Mo Wuji replied with a smile. But deep down everyone understood that it was Ji Guang that saved himself. If Ji Guang did not step out to save Ding Bu¡¯Er, then Mo Wuji definitely would not have gone to help Ji Guang block the arrow, instead choosing to go to the aid of Ding Bu¡¯Er. ¡°Brother Mo, I¡¯ll be your friend from now on.. I previously thought that you were trying to take advantage of us, but it looks like I¡¯ve been too narrow minded. If it were not for you hiding behind, waiting for the Arrow Shooting Beast, Brother Ji would not have survived this ordeal.¡± The silent Sun Liyan finally took the initiative to speak to Mo Wuji. ¡°Let¡¯s conclude the niceties here, and focus on searching for the Winged Sea Leopard eggs.¡± Ji Guang gestured to the team, and took point in the search. It did not take much effort for them to find a coral cave with a smooth platform. The cave was gigantic, with a height and breadth of over 3.2m. Even before taking a step into the cave, all five of them could smell a fishy odor. ¡°This is the place!¡± Ji Guang exclaimed, ¡°This cave should be a temporary nest for Winged Sea Leopards to hatch its eggs. They will abandon the cave and leave within four months.¡± The five entered one by one, and quickly approached the deepest recesses of the cave. A towering nest made of an assortment of beast fur welcomed them in the depths of the cave. Six eggs lay snugly in the centre of the nest. These should be the eggs of a winged sea leopard, but what puzzled Mo Wuji was that five out of the six egg was around the size of a volleyball, but the sixth was only a third the size of the others. On top of that, the five large eggs had beautiful black and white stripes on them, while the small egg was dirt yellow, with the appearance of a slightly larger chicken egg. ¡°Our luck is quite good time time, each of us gets one large egg. That puny one shouldn¡¯t be a Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s egg, it might be something the Winged Sea Leopard picked up elsewhere. Does everyone agree if we give that to Brother Mo too?¡± Ji Guang immediately settled the distribution of the loot. Ding Bu¡¯Er and Mo Wuji naturally had no objections; Sun Liyan and Gao Juan agreed as well. They were completely aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s level of strength. Moreover, they owed a great part to Mo Wuji for them to be able to reach this far safely. Unexpectedly, Mo Wuji laughed and said, ¡°No need for that, I¡¯ll only take this small egg. Bu¡¯Er gets one large egg, while you three split four eggs among yourselves. After all, it was Brother Ji that led us to this location.¡± After completing his sentence, he swiped the small egg and kept it away. His objectives had been met long ago anyway. Without Ji Guang, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to find this place, much less open 27 meridians on the way here. If he also did not have the service disciple token that Qin Xiangyu gave him, Mo Wuji would have not gone against common sense to choose the small egg only, but keep one of each. After all, with a Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s egg, he might have been able to become a service disciple. Since he now possessed the token of a service disciple, the Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s egg no longer had any value to him. So why not give it to Ji Guang instead. Sometimes being taken advantage of is not necessarily a bad thing; this was a precious life lesson that Mo Wuji had learnt. Even if he brought the Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s egg back with him, he would not bother to hatch it. Killing the Winged Sea Leopard, and hatching its descendents to use as a ride. The whole notion made Mo Wuji feel uncomfortable. Although he did not take part in the killing of the Winged Sea Leopard, he felt the same nonetheless. ¡°Okay, thank you Brother Mo for your generosity. You¡¯ll be my friend from now on, so if there¡¯s anything that you need me to help me, please don¡¯t hold back.¡± Ji Guang graciously accepted Mo Wuji¡¯s act of generosity, after all a single Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s egg was not enough for him. Mo Wuji only got the chance to get a Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s egg only because he had made greater contributions than Ji Guang, and as Ji Guang owed his survival to Mo Wuji. Chapter 62: The Spring Immortals Gate Conference Chapter 62: The Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The journey back was extremely quiet. They didn''t meet with any Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles, which made Mo Wuji a little depressed. He still had seven bottles of channel opening solution. If they met with some lightning crocodiles, he would be able to open up to his 30th meridian or more. Two days later, Mo Wuji and Ding Bu¡¯Er arrived back at Tian Luo Hotel. When they arrived, Shen Lian still couldn''t be found. Knowing that Mo Wuji had to cultivate, and that Shen Lian was an immortal master, Ding Bu''Er decided to stay at the living room. Mo Wuji did not show Ding Bu''Er around. He had just opened 27 meridians, and he needed to use this time to cultivate. When Mo Wuji started to absorb spiritual energy and circulate it in his body, he was almost shocked still. No matter how much spiritual energy he absorbed, it was like simply adding drops of water to the sea; there was no obstacles or obstructions in his cultivation. When he first cultivated to Channel Opening Stage Level 1, he could distinctly feel a bottleneck. However, with his 27 open meridians, he felt that even if he continuously cultivated and absorbed spiritual energy, his 27 meridians would have the capacity to hold it in. As he continuously absorbed spiritual energy, his cultivation constantly rose. Even though Mo Wuji did not see any geniuses cultivating, he could guess that even geniuses could not absorb spiritual energy as fast as he could. His 27 meridians were like a wide, boundless ocean, free for him to swim and roam. Mo Wuji suppressed his wild joy. It no longer mattered to him that meridians may not be spirit channels. With his fast cultivation speed, no geniuses with their spirit channels could compare to him. Two days passed in a flash. Mo Wuji felt like he had reached the peak of Channel Opening Stage Level 1. When he was at the brink of breaking through to Channel Opening Stage Level 2, he suddenly stopped. This wasn''t due to limits in his meridians, but rather his lack of experience. He did not want to break through wrongly and make an irreparable mistake. More importantly, the Spring Immortal''s Gate was opening soon. Who knew how long the breakthrough would take? ¡­ When Mo Wuji walked out of his room, he saw Shen Lian staring at Ding Bu''Er with huge eyes. Noticing that Mo Wuji had come out, Shen Lian immediately frowned and asked, ¡°Mo Wuji, who is he?¡± ¡°He''s my friend, Ding Bu''Er. Your room was actually meant for him, but since you didn''t have anywhere to go, I decided to let you have it first. When Bu¡¯Er came, he insisted that he would not take your room, so he''s temporarily staying in the living room.¡± With Mo Wuji''s words, the originally reproachful Shen Lian turned speechless. Feeling a little guilty, Shen Lian hurriedly said, ¡°The Spring Immortal''s Gate is opening. I came to call you to go and try your luck.¡± Ding Bu''Er was silently praising Mo Wuji''s words in his heart. Hearing Shen Lian''s words, Ding Bu''Er''s gaze then landed on her. Previously, he wasn''t too excited about the Spring Immortal''s Gate. However, he now had a Winged Sea Leopard egg. If he used it well, he might actually get accepted into a school or sect. Even being accepted as a service disciple would be incredible. Moreover, Mo Wuji could cultivate despite having mortal roots. Maybe he could cultivate too. ¡°Let''s go. The reason why I came was for the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference,¡± Mo Wuji hastily said. He understood his own circumstances. He knew that his cultivation speed was no worse than geniuses, but as a mortal with mortal roots, it would be impossible to be accepted as a formal disciple during the Spring Immortal''s Gate. However, Mo Wuji did not really mind. It was already good enough that he was confirmed a place to be a service disciple at the Formless Blade Sect. His sole purpose of joining a sect, was to interact with immortal masters. Whenever there were things he did not understand, at least there would be some people he could ask. ¡­ Mo Wuji did not know how big Chang Luo was. He only knew that it was the capital of Xing Han Empire, and it was also the biggest city in Xing Han. In his month in Chang Luo, he did not explore much of it. He did not even know where the royal palace was. Following Shen Lian to Chang Luo Square, Mo Wuji finally knew how big and vast Chang Luo was. Chang Luo Square was filled to the brim with people. Mo Wuji and Shen Lian came relatively late, and could only see from the sides. In the centre of the square, there was an extremely large marble platform. On the centre of the platform, was a 7m tall crystal pillar. Mo Wuji was familiar with it; it was the thing used to test for spiritual roots. Besides the crystal pillar, there were tens of round altars erected by the sects and schools. The sects¡¯ names were annotated at the top of altars. The big sects occupied a relatively bigger space and were built in a grander manner. For example, the Heavenly Temple¡¯s altar was extremely eye-catching and multiple times bigger than the other sects. In Mo Wuji''s eyes, this was like a recruitment fair. It was clear who were the big corporations and who were the small companies. At the peripherals of the square, there were many sect signs. However, these sects were looking for service disciples. Mo Wuji soon saw a sign from the Formless Blade Sect. From their signs and their altar, Mo Wuji could see that Formless Blade Sect was barely above average. Shen Lian looked at Mo Wuji and said, ¡°Do you see? This Spring Immortal''s Gate is different from the past. In the past, only a few geniuses could participate and be tested. Afterwards, they would be selected by the sects. This time, besides the geniuses, anyone who thinks that they have decent spiritual roots could ask to tested. Even people like you, who came under the identity of a house attendant, could participate and be selected.¡± Looking at the dense human crowd, Mo Wuji asked in disbelief, ¡°If everyone here is taking part in the selection, when will the selection end?¡± Shen Lian laughed, ¡°You think everyone would get tested by that crystal pillar? Only the main participants get to be tested. For the rest, they need to qualify to be tested on the main stage by passing some preliminary tests¡± As she spoke, Shen Lian pointed at a tall building at the side of Chang Luo Square, "That''s where the preliminary tests are conducted. These tests are not bad. Firstly, it''s quite cheap. Secondly, even if you don''t qualify to even be an outer disciple, you can apply to be a service disciple." "Wuji, let me go there and test for my roots." Ding Bu''Er saw many people going towards the preliminary test hall, and got a little eager. Mo Wuji had no intentions of testing for his spiritual roots, as he nodded at Ding Bu''Er and said, "Sure, good luck." "What sect are you from?" Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Shen Lian. She was really knowledgeable, and she was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4 at such a young age. She definitely had some background. "Even if I told you, you wouldn''t know," Shen Lian casually replied, not intending to share anything further. Mo Wuji did not continue asking. He saw a tall man standing in the middle of the marble platform, right next to the crystal pillar. The crowd went silent, focusing all their attention on the tall man. "I represent Xing Han Empire to welcome the various sects to Chang Luo to select their disciples. I also welcome the geniuses throughout Xing Han to this selection... The auspicious hour has arrived! Light the cannons..." At this point, nine ceremonial cannons by the side of the marble platform shot off. "Who is this man? Is he the Xing Han Empire Emperor?" Mo Wuji whispered into Shen Lian''s ear. "Of course he is the emperor. Who else do you think he is?" Shen Lian rolled her eyes at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji asked puzzledly, "It''s true that the emperor is a very distinguished man. But this is a place for cultivators. He doesn''t count for much here, right? Shen Lian looked at Mo Wuji speechlessly, "Do you think it''s so simple to be the emperor of an Empire? While his personal power might not compare to some figures in certain sects, he is still extremely strong. Furthermore, do you think those peak experts would come for this Spring Immortal''s Gate selection? Even if these experts came, there would probably only be one or two of them, and they would only be here to scout for talented mantle disciples. They won''t even reveal themselves." Chapter 63: Worrying Encounter Chapter 63: Worrying Encounter Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°...The Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate is officially open! I wish the various sects good luck in finding exceptional disciples. And for our participating geniuses, may you ¡®spring¡¯ into immortality and transcend mortality.¡± With the end of the Xing Han Emperor''s speech, the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference officially commenced. A huge queue of people a few metres wide appeared, forming directly at the front of the marble platform in the middle of the square. As the Xing Han Emperor descended, two officials responsible for recording the test results stood on the two sides of the crystal pillar. One of them rolled out a long leather scroll and announced, "Chang Luo Prefecture¡¯s Ou Zuoce is to take the test. Chang Luo Prefecture¡¯s Wei Xi, get ready..." After the official reported the two names, a youth in golden robes emerged from the queue and hastily walked to the front of the marble platform. With a jump and a somersault, he landed on top of the platform. After landing on the stage, he did not walk towards the crystal pillar but turned to face the crowd. This youth had an attractive figure. There were even a few girls screaming by the the side. Shen Lian sneered, "This guy really loves to show off. Unless he has some heaven defying spiritual roots, many schools and sects wouldn''t want him." The golden robed youth stood in front of the crystal pillar. A stream of khaki light rose from the pillar, reaching the 1.5 metre mark before it stopped. The official on the other side of the pillar announced, "Chang Luo Prefecture¡¯s Ou Zuoce, Earth intermediate grade spiritual roots. Qualification: Medium-Low." Mo Wuji could see that the golden robed youth had quite a satisfied expression. Obviously, he was clear about the grade of his spiritual roots, and knew that it was enough for him to enter some sects as an outer disciple. However, the youth''s expression soon hardened; no sects were interested in him. The Xing Han Emperor made it sound easy for those with spiritual roots to enter the sects they wanted. However, the prerequisite was for the sects to be interested in them. If no sect expressed interest, then it was meaningless even if one had great spiritual roots. The golden robed youth stood rooted to the ground, stupefied. Seeing that Ou Zuoce was still standing on the platform, the assessing official said grumpily, "You have not been chosen. Hurry and get down." "Yes, yes..." Ou Zuoce finally came to his senses, walking down the platform with a blushed face. Mo Wuji shook his head; even if this fella got selected by a sect, he wouldn''t achieve much. He started showing off even before his results were announced, only to end up defeated and ashamed. This was not the mentality for great people. At this moment, a 3 metre tall khaki light shone from the crystal pillar. "...Chang Luo Prefecture''s Wei Xi, Earth high-grade spiritual roots. Qualification: Medium-High." The assessing official called out yet again. At this moment, two of the sects'' altars lit up with a golden light. Mo Wuji puzzledly asked Shen Lian, "Shen Lian, those two sects are interested in Wei Xi, right? Why are there only two sects interested in a high-grade spiritual root? Don''t tell me the sects are only looking for those with supreme-grade spiritual roots?" Shen Lian answered, "Naturally, that''s not the case. Unless it''s for a peak level genius, sects usually won''t compete for a disciple. These two sects probably indicated their interest at the same time. Usually, you would only see one light." "Earth Sects Golden Spear Sect and Fire Phoenix School have selected Wei Xi at the same time. May Wei Xi go over and take his pick. Next, Chang Luo Prefecture''s Cheng Fei is to take the test..." The official continued to call out. Many eager and envious eyes landed on Wei Xi; not only was he favoured by an Earth Sect, he had the privilege of picking his sect. As everyone''s eyes were on Wei Xi, a towering red light drew their eyes back to the crystal pillar. This light was approximately 4.5 metres tall. If it was a little taller, it would have reached the top. Nonetheless, it was an incredibly dazzling pillar of light. This reminded Mo Wuji of Yan''Er. When she tested for her spiritual roots, there was also a similar towering pillar of light. Her light wasn''t as high as this Chang Fei definitely because her testing crystal pillar was of an inferior grade. "Chang Luo Prefecture''s Cheng Fei, Fire supreme-grade spiritual roots. Qualification: High-High..." the official announced with a trembling voice. As he announced the results, more than ten altars lit with a golden light. Obviously, this Cheng Fei had attracted more than ten sects to compete for him. "Quasi-sky Sect Heavenly Temple, Distant Fire Sect, Jade Net Sect, Demonic Sect..." As the official reported the names of the interested sects, Shen Lian muttered astonishedly, "What a fella! In just a short moment, almost all the quasi-sky sects in Xing Han Empire have entered the fray." Mo Wuji clenched his fist; he suddenly thought of that god damned woman who snatched Yan''Er away, and could not help but get infuriated. This was the place Yan''Er should be. She should be here picking her sect, instead of being snatched away soundlessly. There were so many quasi-sky sects she could choose from. This was exactly the kind of treatment a Gao Kao [1] scholar would experience. Under the awed and envious eyes of the crowd, Cheng Fei chose the Heavenly Temple. In the following tests, there weren''t anymore supreme-grade spiritual roots. The best were the high-grade spiritual roots. Most of the participants had low-grade spiritual roots, followed by intermediate-grade spiritual roots. "Wuji, I actually have Earth intermediate-grade spiritual roots! I get to take part in the selection..." Ding Bu''Er''s excited voice called over. Mo Wuji turned and saw the jumpy figure of Ding Bu''Er rushing over. "Bu''Er, congratulations!" Mo Wuji was genuinely happy for Ding Bu''Er. "Why don''t you also go and try your luck?" Shen Lian asked Mo Wuji curiously. Mo Wuji did not say anything. He only had mortal roots, there wasn''t any luck for him to try. "Ai, Wen Manzhu is going up the platform..." Ding Bu''Er cut himself off halfway through his sentence, remembering the rumors between Wen Manzhu and Mo Wuji. A red light beam emerged from the pillar and rose to the 2.5 metre mark. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; this Wen Manzhu had not bad spiritual roots. As usual, the official reported, "Cheng Yu State''s Wen Manzhu, Fire high-grade spiritual roots. Qualification: Medium-High." Three golden lights simultaneously lit up, ostensibly interested in Wen Manzhu''s fire affinity spiritual roots. Mo Wuji saw the Heavenly Temple''s light lighting up, and immediately knew that Wen Manzhu would choose the Heavenly Temple. "This lady is really lucky," Ding Bu''Er lamented saltily. Mo Wuji laughed. High-grade spiritual roots? So what? He did not have spiritual roots but he was no less than geniuses with high-grade spiritual roots. "Get out of here. Why is there a beggar like you here at the Spring Immortal''s Gate? This is simply humiliating this grand affair..." A snappy voice resounded somewhere near Mo Wuji. At the same time, Mo Wuji heard a painful muffle. Mo Wuji turned back and saw a disheveled, emaciated girl being kicked. When she fell, Mo Wuji''s heart skipped a beat. At the next moment, Mo Wuji immediately rushed over. Yan''Er. She must be Yan''Er... He definitely did not see wrongly. But... Why was Yan''Er here? How did she fall to such a sticky situation? [1] Gao Kao (¸ß¿¼) is China''s National College Examinations. Chapter 64: Nine Tiers Of Pill Refining Chapter 64: Nine Tiers Of Pill Refining Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Young master, young master¡­¡± After holding Yan¡¯Er close, Mo Wuji could hear her muttering constantly. Her eyes were listless, her clothes were tattered and there was a rancid smell coming from her. She was constantly calling out for her young master, but it was not because she had recognised Mo Wuji, but it was because these were the words she had constantly been calling. ¡°Jing¡­ Fei... Lan!¡± Mo Wuji uttered those three words one at a time. He only knew that the woman who snatched Yan¡¯Er away was Jing Feilan. After being snatched away by her, Yan¡¯Er ended up on the streets, seemingly a little deranged. If he did not kill that woman, he would be living in vain all his life. Yan''Er''s body was covered in dirt, and her hair was withered and yellow. As Mo Wuji held her within his arms, he could feel that she was at most 10 to 20kg. It was easy to deduce that she must have suffered a lot. Due to the fury in his heart, Mo Wuji clenched his fists angrily, his nails piercing into the meat in his palm. Fresh blood flowed but he was seemingly unaware. "Just now, you kicked Yan''Er?" Holding Yan''Er up, Mo Wuji walked towards the man who kicked Yan''Er. He previously swore that he would not let Yan''Er go through any further suffering. However, in just this short period of time, she went through an unfathomable one. Not only did she end up as a homeless nomad, she was even unreasonably bullied. Mo Wuji was willing to take the pain that Yan''Er had been through, so that she would no longer suffer. After all, she had already suffered enough taking care of him. The man''s eyes swept across Mo Wuji, and he said cold, "Yes, this lord here kicked her. What are you going to do to me?" "Kacha! Ah! (Pa!)..." With a quick motion, Mo Wuji kicked the man''s knee, and the sound of breaking bones could be heard. At the same time, Mo Wuji slapped the man''s mouth. If all these suffering happened to him, he could tolerate it and wait for the right moment to act. But he was unable to tolerate Yan''Er being bullied. Sometimes, if you really can''t tolerate something, why remain patient? The man''s scream of pain was dispersed with Mo Wuji''s slap. He sat on the ground paralysed, hugging his knee, spitting out a few teeth and fresh blood. As there were too many people and Mo Wuji was only at the periphery of the square, his actions only attracted the attention of the few in his immediate surroundings. The surrounding people could feel Mo Wuji''s aggression and immediately dispersed, emptying the space. Mo Wuji no longer cared about that fella as he turned around to leave with Yan''Er. "Is she your friend?" Shen Lian hurried over and whispered in Mo Wuji''s ear. As Mo Wuji was about to answer, a gloomy voice called over, "Do you think you can just leave after beating someone during the Spring Immortal''s Gate?" The one speaking with a young man with a long face and slitted eyes. On his back, was a long sword. His hair was tied into a bun and he was wearing a pair of light shoes. Mo Wuji had met with a lot of cultivators recently; one look and he knew that this person was a cultivator. "Wu Jingwu, what is the meaning of this?" Shen Lian, who was by Mo Wuji''s side, furiously questioned. It was then Mo Wuji knew that this long faced, slitted eyes youth was acquainted to Shen Lian. This fella probably came to cause trouble for him because of his relations with Shen Lian. Wu Jingwu looked at Shen Lian and said, "Junior apprentice sister, can you please not hang around these lowly mortals? It will only lower your status. Master has been unable to find you, and he knew that you would secretly take part in the Spring Immortal''s Gate. But there''s no need for you to try anything. Do you think that after I reveal your status, any other sects would dare to accept you?" Having said that, Wu Jingwu turned back, seemingly trying to call people over. Shen Lian coldly said, "Wu Jingwu, if you do anything which implicates Mo Wuji, I will never let you off. I, Shen Lian, swear: I will do what I say." Wu Jingwu''s expression turned unsightly as he turned to Mo Wuji and asked, "Who is this guy?" Mo Wuji turned to Shen Lian and said, "Senior Shen, I will be leaving first. We will meet again if fate permits." With that, Mo Wuji turned and left hurriedly with Yan''Er, totally ignoring Wu Jingwu. "Wuji, what happened?" Ding Bu''Er ran over. Mo Wuji looked seriously at Ding Bu''Er and said, "Bu''Er, continue trying your best. It will be good if you get selected by a sect." "Ok. After my test, I will immediately rush back." Ding Bu''Er did not know who Yan''Er was, but he had his guesses. ¡­ When Mo Wuji returned to his suite, he immediately helped Yan''Er wash up. He did not know how Yan''Er ended up like this, but looking at her emaciated look, he knew that if he did not coincidentally find her during the Spring Immortal''s Gate, he would never have seen her again. After Yan''Er lost her self-consciousness, she was constantly calling out "young master". Mo Wuji knew that Yan''Er must have been looking for him. It was this persistance... this persistance had led her here. Mo Wuji personally cooked some porridge for Yan''Er and fed her. After she had gone to sleep, he went out to buy a whole pile of medicinal herbs, as well as some clothes for Yan''Er. Even Mo Wuji did not know whether he could treat Yan''Er''s current situation. It was late into the evening but Ding Bu''Er still did not return. On the contrary, it was Shen Lian who returned to the suite. "Sorry, I dragged you into my problem just now." The moment she returned, Shen Lian immediately apologized to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved it off, "It''s okay, I wasn''t dragged into anything in the end. That person was your senior?" Mo Wuji made it sound simple, but he knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation back during the Spring Immortal''s Gate. If any enforcement immortal masters noticed, he would have met his dead end. In front of those immortal masters, his life meant as much as an ant''s. Shen Lian shook her head, not wanting to discuss about Wu Jingwu. Seeing Mo Wuji brewing some medicine, she turned to Mo Wuji''s room and asked, "How about I go and take a look at your friend?" "You understand medicine?" Mo Wuji asked puzzledly. Shen Lian hesitated, but she still said, "My father is an Earth Pill Refiner." "What''s an Earth Pill Refiner?" Mo Wuji still did not understand. Shen Lian stared at Mo Wuji with her eyes wide open, speechless. After some time, she asked, "Aren''t you a drug refiner? You even spent 370 thousand gold coins to purchase some refining equipment, but you don''t know what''s an Earth Pill Refiner?" Mo Wuji said awkwardly, "I''m not actually a certified drug refiner. I merely tried my hand at it after purchasing some medicinal ingredients." Shen Lian facepalmed, but she continued to explain, "In pill refining, nine tiers of spiritual pills can be concocted. Tier 1 to 3 spiritual pills are classified as Mortal grade spiritual pills. Tier 4 to 6 are Earth grade, while Tier 7 to 9 are Heavenly grade. Above that, are the Immortal grade spiritual pills. Being able to refine a certain tier of spiritual pills would classify you as a pill refiner of the same tier. Thus, there are nine tiers of pill refiners, or you can also see it as three grades of pill refiners." "So an Earth Pill Refiner can refine Tier 4 spiritual pills at the very least? What tier is your father? Is an Earth Pill Refiner very impressive?" Mo Wuji bombarded Shen Lian with a barrage of questions. Shen Lian became even more speechless. it was only after a whole 10 seconds did she finally say, "In the entire Xing Han Empire, there isn''t even a Heavenly Pill Refiner. Do you think an Earth Pill Refiner is impressive?" Mo Wuji hurriedly stood up and said to Shen Lian, "Senior Shen, please help me take a look at Yan''Er." "Her name is Yan''Er? What a nice sounding name," As Shen Lian spoke, she had already started walking towards Mo Wuji''s room. She was curious to see the kind of girl Mo Wuji was so concerned over. She had stayed with Mo Wuji for nearly a month. Even though the two of them did not interact much, she had a basic understanding of Mo Wuji. Her beauty was definitely world class, and her figure would arouse jealousy among 99% of women. However, Mo Wuji did not treat her warmly due to her beauty nor her figure. She was clear that Mo Wuji treated her warmly, and even invited her to his suite, was entirely because of her greater understanding of cultivation. It had nothing to do with her appearance. Chapter 65: The Wordless Pill Manual Chapter 65: The Wordless Pill Manual Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Shen Lian walked to the edge of Yan¡¯Er¡¯s bed and took a seat. Dry and sparse blonde hair, a body of skin and bones, and a long slash across her lovely little face. Questions rose within Shen Lian as her eyes lay upon poor Yan¡¯Er. How much suffering had this girl gone through? She actually got tortured to this extent? Also, what¡¯s her relationship with Mo Wuji, being able to rile him up that much? Placing her hand on Yan¡¯Er¡¯s wrist, Shen Lian closed her eyes. Ten over seconds later, her eyes suddenly shot open, full of rage, even her hand began to tremble slightly from anger. ¡°How is she?¡± Mo Wuji frantically asked. Yan¡¯Er was a stranger to Shen Lian, so this situation made him a little startled. Shen Lian loosened her grip, taking in a deep breath to calm herself down before asking, ¡°did she have very good quality spirit roots?¡± Mo Wuji immediately nodded, ¡°yes, Yan¡¯Er has supreme quality wood affinity spirit roots.¡± The mysterious green glow undoubtedly represented wood affinity. Having been at the Spring Immortal Gate Conference for so long, Mo Wuji gained a certain level of understanding towards the spirit root test. An empathetic look appeared on Shen Lian¡¯s face as the looked toward Mo Wuji and said, ¡°In the world of cultivation, there¡¯s a heinous method that some use: spirit roots transfer. Those people covet other¡¯s better quality spirit roots and seek to transfer them to their own body to increase their own potential and talent for cultivation¡­¡± Before Shen Lian finished her sentence, Mo Wuji¡¯s expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, staring at Shen Lian with a scary gaze, ¡°You¡¯re saying that Yan¡¯Er was¡­¡± As though as she could read Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, she nodded in agreement. ¡°You¡¯re right, Yan¡¯Er had her spirit roots transferred away.¡± ¡°Those monsters¡­¡± a raging fire burned within Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, and with a strike of his palm, Mo Wuji smashed the table into smithereens, yet not feeling any pain. Shen Lian sighed and carried on, ¡°This sort of method is extremely underhanded. Normally someone who carry out the procedure choose mortals with no background or backers, because once news of such an incident spreads, his reputation will go to the dumps. On top of that, such a person would be condemned no matter where he goes.¡± Finally Mo Wuji calmed down. His expression changed a few times over, then he asked, ¡°if that¡¯s so, why is Yan¡¯Er still alive? And still be able to make it to the plaza of the Spring Immortal Gate Conference alone?¡± It was unbelievable that Yan¡¯Er would still be alive after undergoing the spirit root transfer procedure. Shen Lian furrowed her brows, ¡°I¡¯m puzzled too, logically even if Yan¡¯Er was born a mortal, they wouldn¡¯t leave her alive. Because the person who transferred the spirit roots will definitely not allow anyone to find out that he had done so. Now not only did they leave her alive, but also allowed her to escape. This doesn¡¯t make sense.¡± ¡°So were Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit roots transferred away?¡± Mo Wuji suppressed the boiling anger rising within him. He had to remain calm. Rage and rashness won¡¯t help him to exact revenge. Shen Lian shook her head, ¡°Extensive damage has been done to Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit channels, a sign that the transfer process failed. The success rate of this evil procedure is extremely low, usually not even reaching one percent.¡± Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji clenched his fists again, harshly speaking, ¡°An evil procedure with less than a percent chance of success. There¡¯s actually someone that still wants to do it, without giving a single hoot about the life or death of others.¡± To this, Shen Lian replied faintly, ¡°You¡¯re too naive. Without a care about the life of death of others? Let me tell you, in the eyes of cultivators with spirit channels, mortals are just ants that they can crush whenever they will it. No matter how good the spirit root, as long as one does not cultivate, a mortal remains a mortal. Against someone who is only a mortal, even if the procedure had a 0.1 percent chance of success, I¡¯ll bet that there¡¯s still people out there who want to do it.¡± At this point in time, Shen Lian seemed to recall something, adding on, ¡°Regardless of how Yan¡¯Er managed to escape, you have to leave this place as early as possible. Better not take part in Spring Immortal Gate Conference¡¯s last stage either. Actually, service disciples and outer disciples have a large gap between them. You¡¯ll find out eventually that being a service disciple has no difference from not joining the sect at all. Mo Wuji also understood that what Shen Lian said was right, but since Yan¡¯Er was in such a state, where could he go to? Fortunately Chang Luo is a large city, so there was greater hope that he would be able to treat Yan¡¯Er¡¯s injuries. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Shen, can Yan¡¯Er¡¯s damaged spirit channels be repaired? Is it possible to make her healthy again?¡± Mo Wuji asked curiously. This was the issue that he cared the most about now. Unfortunately, Shen Ling replied by shaking her head empathetically, ¡°it¡¯s very difficult to treat her considering the severity of her injuries. Spirit channels destroyed, and her body also in shambles. Even if it were my father, it would be impossible. Perhaps...it would be impressive if she could live for another 10 years.¡± In reality, based on Shen Lian¡¯s judgement Yan¡¯Er only had another three years to live at most, but since Mo Wuji cared greatly for Yan¡¯Er, she masqueraded it as 10 years to comfort him. ¡°I must restore Yan¡¯Er to health.¡± Mo Wuji half spoke to Shen Lian, half spoke to himself. Shen Lian¡¯s father was an Earth Pill Master, if he couldn¡¯t treat Yan¡¯Er, what about a Heaven Pill Master? The Xing He Empire did not have any Heaven Pill Masters, but did that mean that there weren¡¯t any elsewhere? If there were none, then he would learn pill refining himself. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Shen, I know that this request will put you in a difficult position, but please bring me with you, and ask you father to teach me pill refining...¡± Mo Wuji immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Lian after making his decision. If it were not for Yan¡¯Er, he would definitely not beg Shen Lian to this extent. He knew that if it was possible for Shen Lian to take him with her, she would have brought it up already. Moreover, her fellow apprentice Mo Jingwu was not a friendly person. As expected, Shen Lian had an uncomfortable look on her face, and replied, ¡°This might be impossible. My father will not take you in as a disciple, and also won¡¯t teach you pill refining simply because you know me. So, I cannot bring you back with me.¡± She felt bitter inside. If it were so easy to convince her father, she wouldn¡¯t have sneaked out. Luckily it was her that Mo Wuji asked the question to, if anyone else was in her position, they would laugh their asses off. If Mo Wuji said this to her father, she was a hundred percent sure that he would kill Mo Wuji on the spot. Precisely because of this, she was adamant to not bring Mo Wuji to learn pill refining from her father. That would actually be harming Mo Wuji. Disappointed, Mo Wuji knew that his request was rather forcing it. The atmosphere turned awkward and silent, and only after some time, did Shen Lian recall something, taking out a thin book to pass to Mo Wuji. She explained, ¡°this should be a manual on pill refining. I randomly bought it from a stall in the market, but when I opened it, there were no words inside. Perhaps the words will appear after soaking the manual in some medicinal solution. I¡¯ve tried many methods, but to no avail. Why don¡¯t you try your luck on it, you might actually succeed. Manuals on pill refining are impossible to purchase, and if this turns out to be a pill refining manual, you must remember never to let others know that you possess such an item.¡± In reality, that book was not bought off a roadside stall, but an item she stole from he father¡¯s study before she left home. Even after exhausting all possible means, she could not make any words appear on the manual. Now that Mo Wuji wanted to learn pill refining, she decided to pass on this wordless pill refining manual to him. ¡°Thank you senior apprentice sister Shen. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a pill refining manual or not, if I, Mo Wuji, make any accomplishments in the future, I¡¯ll definitely repay you.¡± Although Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know that pill refining manuals could not be bought, he could infer from Shen Lian¡¯s tone that they are very valuable. The thin book that Shen Lian gave him could very well be a pill refining manual, because there was a faded image of a pill furnace on the cover. ¡°This is as much as I can help you. After the Spring Immortal Gate Conference ends, I will leave Chang Luo to return home. See you next time.¡± Shen Lian gazed upon the sleeping Yan¡¯Er pitifully, before leaving the room. Mo Wuji did not answer, only standing up to bow deeply in respect once again. Shen Lian met him by chance, and even though he helped her out, but compared to how much she helped him, his efforts seemed ever so miniscule. Gratitude was not only displayed through words, but through actions. If he could pay her back in the future, he definitely would. If he couldn¡¯t, someone like Shen Lian would probably not care whether a mortal like him returned the favour. ¡°Wuji¡­¡± Right after Shen Lian left, Ding Bu¡¯Er immediately charged into the room. Chapter 66: Murderer Chapter 66: Murderer Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji could see the irrepressible joy from Ding Bu''Er''s eyes despite his worry for Mo Wuji and Yan''Er. "Were you selected by a sect? Congratulations," Mo Wuji could tell straightaway that Ding Bu''Er was successful in the selections at the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. Ding Bu''Er tried his best to contain his excitement as he exclaimed, "Yes, I was selected by the Heavy Earth Sect to be an outer disciple. Wuji, why don''t you follow me to the Heavy Earth Sect since your spiritual roots are not that good?" Mo Wuji shook his hand, "It''s okay. I may be heading for the Formless Blade Sect." He refused to listen to Shen Lian''s advice to leave this place. He needed to find a sect to join because he was not like any other person with mortal roots; he can cultivate even with mortal roots. More importantly, if he were to leave, he might not be able to save Yan''Er. "Is Yan''Er alright?" Ding Bu''Er knew how Mo Wuji was feeling despite being happy for himself. Mo Wuji sighed before replying, "She was hurt very badly. I vowed to save her after heading for the Formless Blade Sect. Don''t worry about my issues and concentrate on cultivating after you enter the Heavy Earth Sect. " "I will certainly concentrate and focus. I believe that the next time we meet, whether it is Brother Zhenyi, Aunt Eleven or you, we will all be very different as compared to now," Ding Bu''Er said energetically. He cannot promise Mo Wuji that he will certainly save Yan''Er because he was still only a small outer disciple after all. He had already made his decision in his heart to look for Mo Wuji at the Formless Blade Sect if he figured out a way to save Yan''Er. "Don''t worry about us and go," Mo Wuji knew that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Ding Bu''Er. It was still not known whether his solution worked for Ding Bu''Er. Regardless of the result, it would be more beneficial for Ding Bu''Er to join a sect to train instead of following him cluelessly. Now, Mo Wuji needed to find a sect for himself to join too. "Oh yes, Wuji, I''ve heard that the encampment of the Supreme Sword City was attacked and that many house slaves managed to escape. I''ve also heard that many disciples of the Supreme Sword City are still looking for their slaves. Was Yan''Er brought away by a disciple of the Supreme Sword City?" "Supreme Sword City?" Mo Wuji paused before concluding that Ding Bu''Er''s guess may be right. Yan''Er could very well have escaped from the encampment of the Supreme Sword City. The intention of the person who attacked Supreme Sword City and released the slaves could be to reveal the evil doings of the Supreme Sword City. But why did the Supreme Sword City bring along all these slaves to the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference? "After you left, there was another guy with supreme grade spiritual roots. In fact, he had golden supreme-grade spiritual roots. He was the young castellan of Supreme Sword City named Dong Lun. The weird thing is that even though he was born in Supreme Sword City, he chose to join the Heavenly Temple instead," Ding Bu''Er whispered to Mo Wuji. Supreme-grade spiritual roots, transfer of spiritual roots, Supreme Sword City... Mo Wuji clenched his fist as he was certain that Yan¡¯Er''s spirit channels were destroyed by the Supreme Sword City''s failure to transfer the spiritual roots. Why were these slaves brought over to Chang Luo too? This was simply because the castellan of the Supreme Sword City wanted to participate in the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. However, he never managed to transfer the spiritual roots to himself successfully. Therefore, in order to not delay Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference selections, he brought along these supreme-grade spiritual root holders to Chang Luo to continue the transfer. His golden supreme-grade spiritual roots must have been transferred from some other person. "Supreme Sword City..." These three words would be engraved at the bottom of Mo Wuji''s heart together with Jing Feilan. He swore that the day he rose to the top, he would first destroy the Supreme Sword City and kill Dong Lun and Jing Feilan. "Wuji, even though we suspect Yan''Er was ruined by the people of the Supreme Sword City, we must not do anything foolish. They could easily get rid of us if we were to offend them," Ding Bu''Er hurried to warn Mo Wuji. "Do not worry, I know what to do and what not to do. You should return to your sect soon while I have to go over to the Formless Blade Sect too," Even without Ding Bu''Er''s warning, he would not be so foolish to look for revenge now. Ding Bu''Er took a bag out and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, these are the eggs of the Winged Sea Leopard. Now that I''ve already been selected by a sect, I have no use for them anymore. Also, given my status only as an outer disciple, I would probably never be able to afford to raise a demonic beast. You should keep them as they might still be of use to you." "Alright, I shall keep them then," Mo Wuji did not reject his offer because he might need to use this to enter the Formless Blade Sect as he was not officially accepted yet. ... Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference was a massively important event for all mortals because it was a life changing conference like a fish that leaped over the dragon''s gate. For the sects, the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference was just another conference to recruit disciples. Even if the conference was of such importance to many, it would still only go on for two days. It was as if Yan''Er still felt attached to Mo Wuji that she did not reject his care and concern. However, she would still subconsciously call out for her "young master" and then lose all her energy again. The next day, Mo Wuji used some clothes to cover Yan''Er up. He carried her on his back and then left Tian Luo Hotel together with his equipment. Even if the Formless Blade Sect refused to accept him, he knew he had to leave Chang Luo anyway. ... The Formless Blade Sect was actually one of the more inferior Earth Sects, which explained why their encampment was located at such a remote place. "Brother Mo..." Mo Wuji heard Qin Xiangyu''s voice the moment he set foot on the encampment. "Such a coincidence." Mo Wuji was very pleased and relieved to have met her as he was starting to worry about how he was going to introduce himself with only a single token and expect to enter the sect. Qin Xiangyu said joyfully, "Yes indeed. I shall bring you in for registration." Qin Xiangyu was dressed in a beautiful outer disciple outfit showing her thin waist and incredible figure. Her beauty made her looked like a fairy on earth. Looking at her right now, Mo Wuji would never have expected Qin Xiangyu to have been just a house guard a few days ago. Mo Wuji was not someone with a low EQ, therefore he knew straightaway after Qin Xiangyu spoke that it was no coincidence that they met there. He knew she was waiting for him as it was the last night to register to become a disciple of the Formless Blade Sect before most sects were going to leave Chang Luo that night. "Thank you so much. You are now an outer disciple and I am at most only a service disciple in the future. Please address me as Wuji or junior apprentice brother," Even though Mo Wuji had not entered a sect, he knew that a service disciple was nothing but a small fry in the sect. Qin Xiangyu said with a straight face, "No, I refuse. Brother Mo and Brother Zhenyi were great men with honour. The moment I decided to call you Brother Mo, I will not change no matter what our statuses are and will be in the future." She had to give the necessary respect to the man who stood up for her together with Yuan Zhenyi back on the ship. Furthermore, she witnessed the extraordinary courage of Mo Wuji which had been very rare. It was because of this that she gave Mo Wuji a token to become a service disciple at the Formless Blade Sect. Other than being thankful for Mo Wuji, she wanted to get on good terms with him as well. An extraordinary person like Mo Wuji was bound to go even further despite possessing slightly poorer spiritual roots. Chapter 67: Entering a Sect Chapter 67: Entering a Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Who is she?¡± Qin Xiangyu had long noticed Yan''Er who was on Mo Wuji''s back. Only after greeting Mo Wuji, did she casually ask about Yan''Er. Mo Wuji answered, "She''s my family member. Her body is in a bad condition, so I''m bringing her along with me." Qin Xiangyu immediately said, "That''s okay. Many service disciples bring their family along. After some time, their family members could join as service disciples too." As the two spoke, they slowly walked within the encampment. "Junior apprentice sister Qin..." "Senior apprentice sister Qin..." As Mo Wuji followed behind Qin Xiangyu, many people greeted her along the way. Ostensibly, Qin Xiangyu was rather popular and well liked here. Mo Wuji guessed, in addition to Qin Xiangyu''s amazing figure, her popularity might also be due to her brother. He was definitely not someone of low status. "Is your brother here? I think I should thank him," Mo Wuji asked. He was able to enter the Formless Blade Sect due to that Qin Chen. If Qin Chen was here, he should show some gratitude and thank Qin Chen. "He''s already gone. I heard that something big is happening and he needs to seize all the time he can to cultivate," Qin Xiangyu hurried to explain. Soon, the two arrived outside a room. Mo Wuji could see the sign "Service Disciple Records Office". This was probably where he would be registering to be a service disciple. Sure enough, Qin Xiangyu whispered to Mo Wuji, "The person responsible for all the service disciples is Deacon Wu Kai. I''ve already informed him about you, so don''t worry." Saying that, Qin Xiangyu lightly knocked on the door. It was only after some time did the door finally open. A young girl with tousled hair walked out. Her footsteps were unstable and her face was tinged red. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart. He was not a fool; one look and he knew that Qin Xiangyu and him had interrupted Wu Kai''s fun time. Wu kai was a middle-aged man with a fierce-looking face. His eyes were like slits, and his lips were protruding. He was simply ugly. When he saw Mo Wuji enter, his expression started to turn a little ugly, and his eyes revealed an expression of impatience. However, when he saw Qin Xiangyu, his impatient expression was immediately concealed as he laughed and said, "Junior Qin is looking for me?" Qin Xiangyu smiled and bowed before saying, "Deacon Wu, this is my friend Mo Wuji. In the future, he will be working under you. I hope that Deacon Wu would take good care of him." Wu Kai smiled enthusiastically, "Of course, of course... The Meals Department is currently lacking people, he can join that then. There, he would be able to eat well and live well. It''s a fat job." Mo Wuji frowned; he was not a pig, he did not need to eat and drink well. Furthermore, he probably won''t be eating or drinking much at the Meals Department. He would be the one cooking. Qin Xiangyu understood a little about Mo Wuji. Naturally, she knew that Mo Wuji did not join the Formless Blade Sect to eat and drink. Mo Wuji was willing to be a service disciple at the Formless Blade Sect because he wanted to have a deeper understanding towards cultivation. Back at the shared house, Mo Wuji was always inquiring about cultivation. From that, she could roughly guess his interest towards cultivation. "Deacon Wu, is there another position? Maybe cleaning the Manuals Hall..." Qin Xiangyu also did not have a good understanding towards the Service Department. Since Mo Wuji wanted to know about cultivation, cleaning the Manuals Hall might be a good option for him. Wu Kai said embarrassedly, "I''m afraid that''s a little difficult. That slot is already filled, and I can''t just kick that guy away just for him." If not for Qin Xiangyu''s brother, Qin Chen, being one of the Formless Blade Sect''s Ten Great Geniuses, he would not have entertained her. Without Qin Chen, an outer disciple like her did not count for much. Mo Wuji understood Qin Xiangyu''s good intentions. However, he did not merely want to be a service disciple; he wanted more privileges. Mo Wuji could see that Wu Kai was only speaking empty words, he probably would not help Mo Wuji. Furthermore, when they knocked the door, they had disturbed his fun time. Thinking about this, Mo Wuji directly said to Qin Xiangyu, "Senior apprentice sister Qin, why don''t go back to what you were busy with previously? I will talk to Deacon Wu privately." Qin Xiangyu looked at Mo Wuji in surprise. From Wu Kai''s tone, she could hear that Wu Kaidid not intend to help Mo Wuji. In reality, she would also be helpless even if Wu Kai did not help her. She could enter the Formless Blade Sect because of her brother, not because of her qualifications. Wu Kai laughed coldly in his heart, but he remained cordial to Qin Xiangyu and said, "Junior apprentice sister Qin, don''t worry. In the future, he will be one of my men. Of course I will take care of him." "That''s good. Then I will take my leave. Brother Mo, please find me if you need anything." Before she left, Qin Xiangyu did not forget to remind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji already relied on his relations with Qin Xiangyu to get into the Formless Blade Sect. Furthermore, Qin Xiangyu was also considered a newcomer to the sect, and did not hold much power. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not trouble her regarding this matter. After Qin Xiangyu left, Wu Kai''s smiles immediately disappeared and he said lightly, "Actually, we already have enough service disciples. If not for Junior apprentice sister Qin''s help, you would not even be able to enter. Just join the Meals Department." Mo Wuji smiled. He calmly sat down before pointing to Yan''Er, who was lying on his back, and said, "Deacon Wu, as you can see, I have someone sick with me. Furthermore, I know quite a bit about drug refining, and I even brought my own drug refining equipment. I hope that Deacon Wu can assign me a job at a herb garden. At the same time, I would need somewhere remote and secluded for me to stay. Of course, I want to stay alone." Wu Kai sneered in his heart. Looks like somebody thinks he was some big shot. A lowly service disciple actually dared to have so many demands. Actually, it was common for service disciples to stay alone, but he even wanted to choose where he wanted to stay? Moreover, he also wanted to choose what job he gets? Mo Wuji did not wait for Wu Kai to respond. He took out a leather pouch and put it in front of Wu kai and said, "Deacon Wu, this is a Winged Sea Leopard egg. I''m very thankful to Deacon Wu for accepting my requests, so Deacon Wu can just take this Winged Sea Leopard as a show of my appreciation." Mo Wuji had a tough time saying those words. But in order to have a proper standing, he needed to compromise. When people lack the capabilities, they would need to face all kinds of compromises. Mo Wuji already had deep experiences on this lesson back on Earth. "Winged Sea Leopard?" Wu Kai was intending to ridicule Mo Wuji but he immediately swallowed his words. He brought the leather pouch over and opened it. Soon, his eyes revealed an expression of glee. It was really a Winged Sea Leopard egg and he could even sense some life within the egg. A Winged Sea Leopard egg was extremely valuable. Not only was a Winged Sea Leopard strong, it was also very hard to find. If a Winged Sea Leopard couldn''t be found, then what about the egg? A Winged Sea Leopard egg would mean that he would have a flying beast pet. Even if he did not use the flying beast, he could sell it. This Winged Sea Leopard egg was extremely tempting to Wu Kai. "Brother, how may I address you?" Until now, Wu Kai did not ask for Mo Wuji''s name. "Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji did not wish to engage in chatter with Wu Kai, so he gave a short and concise reply. Holding the leather pouch tight, Wu Kai laughed and said, "A person recommended by Junior apprentice sister Qin would naturally be my friend. There actually is a job at the herb garden. However, I would not recommend Brother Mo to work at the herb garden. You practically won''t get any free time there." "Deacon Wu, my companion here is extremely sick. i would like to learn more about medicine and pills," Mo Wuji said. Wu Kai smiled and whispered, "Brother Mo, if you want to learn more about medicine, why not work at the pharmacy?" "Pharmacy?" Mo Wuji asked puzzledly. He really did not understand. Wu Kai gave a sincere look as he said, "The pharmacy is where some of our sect''s pill refiners work. When they need ingredients, they would not get the ingredients themselves, and would call for their runners. More importantly, they would not refine their pills everyday. They only open their pill furnaces once a month. As a runner there, you would have a lot of free time, and you could also learn about medicine." Mo Wuji was elated; giving the Winged Sea Leopard away was worth it. This position was simply tailor-made for him. "Deacon Wu, I''m really thankful. I will go to the pharmacy, and I will need to trouble Deacon Wu to take care of me in the future," Mo Wuji was genuinely thankful when he said those words. Wu Kai waved it off, "It''s nothing. I will help you with your living arrangements, it will definitely be somewhere quiet where you can stay alone. Also, I will arrange for you to be sent to Pharmacy 19. Very few people use that pharmacy." Chapter 68: Blood Lotus Lake Chapter 68: Blood Lotus Lake Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Both Mo Wuji and Qin Xiangyu were very satisfied with Wu Kai''s arrangement for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt extremely relieved as the Formless Blade Sect''s flying ship took off on the very same night Mo Wuji came aboard. He was worried that people from the Supreme Sword City would find them before they left Chang Luo. Mo Wuji was sure that he would be thrown out of the Formless Blade Sect if people from the Supreme Sword City found him. After just one day of travelling, the flying ship landed. As a service disciple, Mo Wuji followed closely behind Wu Kai down the flying ship. The flying ship landed on a vast and spacious land where there were about 400 to 500 ladders that formed an extended ladder upwards. At the end of the ladder were three huge characters carved out by a sword suspending in the air forming up the words "Formless Blade Sect". [1] Even though Mo Wuji was not familiar with swordsmanship, he could feel a very intimidating aura from it. After arriving, the newly recruited inner and outer disciples were to make their way into the sect and participate in the initiation ceremony. Qin Xiangyu did not have the opportunity to bid goodbye to Mo Wuji as she proceeded to follow the newly recruited disciples into the sect. After all the inner and outer disciples had entered, Wu Kai then led hundred over service disciples onto the steps. These service disciples would not be able to participate in the initiation ceremony because they are there to do some chores and not to cultivate. Behind the 400-500 ladders was another spacious plot of land. In the middle of the land was a wide marble walkway. This walkway would lead directly to the main hall of the Formless Blade Sect. There were nine stone tablets on both sides of the walkway. Mo Wuji noticed that there was a vague shadow of a person sword dancing on every stone tablet. On a closer look, it was not clear enough for him to tell what it was. Service disciples were not allowed to walk through the main walkway but had to walk through two smaller walkways by the side to enter the sect before being split into their respective departments from there. Mo Wuji sighed as he thought to himself. This was only an Earth Sect, how grand would a Heaven Sect be? "Isn''t it very stylish?" A teen dressed in a grey shirt said. Mo Wuji recognised this teen in a grey shirt. His name was Xian Ziqian and he was different from Mo Wuji as he has spiritual roots but it was one of the lowest quality. Therefore, he was recruited as a service disciple like Mo Wuji. "It is indeed very stylish. It has the aura of a really big sect," Mo Wuji nodded as he expressed his thoughts. It seemed like there were clouds inside the hall causing it hard for him to make out what was inside. However, he could already feel the imposing aura of the Formless Blade Sect from outside the hall. Xian Ziqian whispered, "Do not look down on the Formless Blade Sect just because they are only a Earth Sect. I''ve heard that even the base of some Quasi-Heaven Sects are not even as intimidating as Formless Blade Sect''s." "Stop gossiping and goofing around. Fatty Guang, bring Mo Wuji to his place and then introduce his future workplace to him. The rest of you, follow me," Wu Kai interrupted all ongoing discussions about this place. Mo Wuji recognised this Fatty Guang as Wu Kai''s loyal subordinate. Although he was a little plump, he still managed to get things done efficiently. Seeing how Wu Kai specially arranged for Fatty Guang to show him around the place made Mo Wuji realised how impactful the Winged Sea Leopard''s eggs truly were. Even though Wu Kai might have had a wretched face and only had eyes for profits, he would get things done properly if he could benefit from it. This was probably how he managed to stay at his job for such a long time. ... "Brother Wuji, our deacon is really taking good care of you. The newly recruited service disciples usually have to go through three days of training, however, the deacon had exempted you from training," Fatty Guang kept emphasizing how grateful Wu Kai was for Mo Wuji as they walked. Mo Wuji was not interested in this because he knew he had exchanged his benefits using the Winged Sea Leopard''s eggs. He was actually more concerned about how he was going to cope here. After hearing from many people, Mo Wuji had a rough idea about life here in the sect. Service disciples usually have their own activities. Only under special circumstances were they allowed to enter other regions of the sect. If a service disciple was to meet an inner or outer disciple, they were required to stop, bow and pay their respects before letting the authentic disciples proceed on first before the service disciples could carry on with their lives. Service disciples tend to be given more freedom after they completed their work. They are free to leave the sect for the sect''s market or to do their own things given that they do not delay their own work. The residence that Wu Kai arranged for Mo Wuji was indeed secluded. Other than the lake nearby, the next closest dormitory for service disciples was at least 100metres away. Even though it was a very simple stone house, everything inside was arranged very neatly. There were two rooms, a kitchen and even a storage room. Why would Wu Kai not live in such a nice place himself? Could it be that his accommodation is even better than this? "I''ve heard that this lake is called the Blood Lotus Lake. This region used to be a good place to grow Treasured Blood Lotus and this house was for those who were growing it to live in," Fatty Guang pointed to Mo Wuji''s house and explained. "Treasured Blood Lotus?" Mo Wuji had not heard of this before. He had not had time to look at the book that Shen Lian gave. Fatty Guang went on to explain, "Treasured Blood Lotus is both a spiritual medicinal herb and a very delicious food ingredient. Because of its extremely high medicinal value, very few people eat it just like that. I''ve heard that the Treasured Blood Lotus is capable of being refined to open a spirit channel. Don''t you think it is valuable?" "Why don''t they grow that here now?" Mo Wuji questioned. Fatty Guang laughed, "You wouldn''t be able to afford to stay here if they were still growing it here. Even though the Treasured Blood Lotus is a great herb, there is one major drawback. It¡¯s ability to absorb spiritual energy was too scary. I''ve heard that almost all the spiritual energy near this area was absorbed because they grew the Treasured Blood Lotus." Mo Wuji finally understood why Wu Kai did not choose to live here and also kept this place empty. Even though Wu Kai has poor spiritual roots, he is still capable of cultivating. Therefore, why would a person who is capable of cultivating choose to live in a place not suitable for cultivation? There were many service disciples with spiritual roots too. Most of them came with the hope to cultivate and not just do chores. Because of this, they would not want to live in a place that lacked spiritual energy. Moreover, the other service disciples did not have anything valuable enough for Wu Kai to made such arrangement. Wu Kai was confident that Mo Wuji could not cultivate or rather, did not care whether he was capable of cultivating, hence the arrangement for him to stay there. Wu Kai kept his end of the bargain by providing such a secluded house for him to live in. Mo Wuji thought through this point before he concluded that he did not mind. He could absorb spiritual energy wherever he cultivated therefore as long as there was still spiritual energy around, it would still be enough for him to cultivate. Furthermore, there was a limit to how fast he could cultivate because the speed at which he could open his meridian was still too slow. Therefore, it did not matter much even if there was more spiritual energy in the air. "Thank you Fatty Guang, I am very satisfied with this place," Mo Wuji said truthfully. Fatty Guang was very pleased with Mo Wuji''s answer as well because he was afraid that Mo Wuji would be bothered by the lack of spiritual energy and not like it here. "This is the Pharmacy 19¡¯s indicator. When this indicator lights up, it would mean that a pill master has asked for you to go over to prescribe a drug. You have to get to Pharmacy 19 as soon as possible. Remember it well!" Fatty Guang handed Mo Wuji a jade-like indicator as well as a map, "These are the areas in the sect which you can go to and these are those you cannot. I have already indicated where the Pharmacy 19 is on the map. If Brother Mo has nothing else for me, I will take my leave first." Fatty Guang explained in such detail that it left Mo Wuji with no further questions. After sending Fatty Guang off, he immediately tidied up the place for Yan''Er to settle down. Chapter 69: The Mysterious Book Chapter 69: The Mysterious Book Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After settling in, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to take out the thin book that Shen Lian gave to him. The book felt as light as a feather as he held it in his hands. As he flipped the book open, he discovered that the pages were made from a material unknown to him, each page was even thinner than expected. Due to the sheer thinness of the pages, Mo Wuji estimated that the book had at least over a hundred pages. On the first page, he saw words smaller than ants squeezed together in countless lines. It read, ¡°The way of the pill is the true way. To become a pill refiner one must first delve into the way of drugs¡­¡± This made Mo Wuji rather confused. Since the way of the pill is the true way, shouldn¡¯t a pill refiner naturally explore the way of pills? What did the way of drugs have to do with this? The way of drugs was for drug refiners, and the way of pills was for pill refiners. ¡°... All spiritual and mortal ingredients under the heavens have their own separate paths. There are no two herbs with identical paths. If one goes down the path of drugs, the path of pills is to be expected. Once one moves from the path of drugs to the path of pills, even roadside grass can be refined into immortal pills¡­¡± Mo Wuji sucked in a breath of cold air. This pill manual made such extravagant claims. According to it, even two identical stalks of medicinal herbs needed to be processed differently during pill refining. How difficult was that? On top of that, the manual claimed that if one really became a pill refiner through drug refining, he would be able to refine a stalk of Dog-tailed Grass into an immortal pill. Something¡¯s not right, didn¡¯t Shen Lian say that this book was a wordless pill manual? He still hadn¡¯t used any methods to process the book yet, so how could he read the words in it? At this point in time, he flipped the pages back to re-read the parts that he had read before. To his surprise, only blank pages remained. Rubbing his eyes, Mo Wuji wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. This pill manual was very impressive. It must have been fate which brought it to him, but only to give him one chance to read it. Once he forgets the manual¡¯s contents, he would never be able to recall or re-read them again. Realising this, Mo Wuji rushed to take out a set of paper and pen to copy down everything in the manual. Suddenly, a bright flash of fire affinity spiritual energy burst out of the wordless pill manual and enveloped the paper that he was taking notes on. The piece of paper burnt and turned to ashes instantly. Mo Wuji¡¯s level of cultivation was too low, hence he could not see nor feel the fire affinity spiritual energy. The pen Mo Wuji held fell to the floor with a clank. Things of the unknown often scared people the most. From his perspective, even though he could cultivate here, possibly to the level of an immortal master, this could still be one of the mysteries of the universe presenting itself. It was possible for technology to develop into a very advanced form, and similarly, other areas could also reach a level that one could never imagine. Thus he never felt that it was weird for someone to cultivate until the level of an immortal master, or to waltz through the sky freely after that. It would be like watching a trained professional sportsman who had physical prowess far beyond any normal person. However, the present situation before him had was something that was simply too freaky for him to accept. Without any movement or fire starters, the paper he was just writing on burst into flames. Could it be a message from the heavens? Were they telling him that the contents of the manual should remain a secret? Regardless, Mo Wuji quickly calmed down, tossing these thoughts to the back of his mind. What mattered now was to focus on studying the manual, not some message or intent from anyone. His ultimate goal was becoming a top-notch pill refiner and treating Yan¡¯Er¡¯s injuries, so there was no point in sweating these small details and wasting time on them. Even though he did not understand the how his notes spontaneously immolated, he could slowly figure it out in the future. ¡°Pill refining chapter one, drug theory¡­¡± As Mo Wuji immersed himself in the pill manual, a day passed by without him noticing. It was only until night when the cover of darkness prevented him from reading any further. He finally rose from his seat and headed to the kitchen, where he prepared a meal for Yan¡¯Er and himself. Only after feeding Yan¡¯Er and ensuring that she had fallen asleep, did he start to cultivate, placing his studies on hold. ¡­ Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Wuji began to realise that Wu Kai did not lie, Pharmacy 19 indeed had no taskings. In all of the five days that he stayed here, not once did he receive an order from Pharmacy 19. Disturbed by this fact, he felt that it was necessary to make a special trip to Pharmacy 19 to take a look, only to discover that it was really quite empty. Other surrounding pharmacies were a sight to behold, full of energy and noise, with a constant stream of service disciples going between them and the spiritual ingredients warehouse, but only he was left without anything to do. Mo Wuji originally intended to get to know more spiritual ingredients, and spy on how pill refiners refine pills. After all, to be able to see other pill refiners at work might be better than studying all the theory in the world. However, since he had nothing going on at all, his plan obviously had fell through. The only thing he had going for him was that Yan¡¯Er¡¯s condition began to stabilise under his meticulous care. Even though it had only been a few days, her face had started to have a pinkish healthy look, and her body was slowly recovering. Despite the great progress made so far, Mo Wuji knew deep down that without repairing the Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit channels, it would be near impossible for her to regain consciousness no matter how healthy her body became. The long hours of free time that Pharmacy 19 provided him was just what he needed. He would spend the day analysing the contents of the pill manual, and spend the night cultivating. The concentration of spiritual energy in this area was indeed very low, but Mo Wuji could draw in spiritual energy from a large radius when cultivating, and his need for spiritual energy was also not that high due to his low cultivation level. Hence, despite training in such a harsh environment, he still enjoyed a fast pace of improvement. But at the same time, as the radius he drew spiritual energy in from was too large, he was afraid that it would attract other¡¯s attention, thus he chose to cultivate after dark. Another two weeks passed by quickly, and Yan¡¯Er gradually regained her original appearance. She now had a full head of luscious and silky hair which flowed down like a waterfall. Colour returned to her face, and her once sunken cheeks regained their shape. However, she was still unable to do anything. While Mo Wuji studied every day, she only stared blankly at him or at the lake in the distance. Very occasionally, she would take a stroll by the lakeside. While Mo Wuji cultivated, she slept. Despite how dire the situation seemed, he did not give up. Every time he completed his reading for the day, he would converse with Yan¡¯Er. As day after day came and gone, Yan¡¯Er eventually started to understand the words that Mo Wuji spoke. One fateful day, after Mo Wuji finished one last major circulation, he felt all of the meridians in his body tremble, followed by a dense energy filling him up. This feeling gave him an urge to let out a ferocious roar. He leapt out of the house, and with a casual punch, a rock burst into countless shards flying in all directions, while he did not even feel a thing. I¡¯m at Channel Opening Stage Level 2 now, Mo Wuji took a deep breath, looking into the distance on top of the broken pieces of rock. Although he neither had a master, nor the chance to learn from an immortal master, Mo Wuji still managed to advance to Channel Opening Stage Level Two in such a short amount of time. Based on what he had heard before, a genius would still require at least a month or so to advance from Channel Opening Stage Level One to Level Two even with the richest of spiritual energy around. But now against all odds, he managed to do it in only two weeks, no, or should I say, only in two weeks¡¯ worth of nights. Which genius in the world could match up to his speed of cultivation? However, due to his lack of spirit roots, he did not dare to share his progress with anyone. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to join any heaven level sect that he desired. Mo Wuji only managed to gradually calm himself down after some time. Turning around, he saw Yan¡¯Er watching him from a distance. ¡°Yan¡¯Er, one day I¡¯ll help you repair your spirit channels, and cure you. One day, I¡¯ll also massacre my way into Supreme Sword City to get revenge for what they did to you.¡± Walking in front of Yan¡¯Er, he held her hand, and sincerely said every word. He actually thought that he had a chance, as he could now cultivate and start to pick up pill refining. Throughout the whole conversation, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s face remained emotionless, seeming as though she would not care about anything else in the world, as long as she could stay by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Now that he had reached Channel Opening Stage Level 2, other than cultivating, it would have been best for Mo Wuji to find a secluded location to open more meridians. Otherwise, who knew when he would face his next bottleneck? On top of that, he also had to find some way to obtain a pill furnace to further his pill refining skills. After all, he required some hands on practice to complement all the studying. Only reading the pill manual wasn¡¯t the way to go. There were many obstacles that Mo Wuji faced, but it was not the time for him to give up. ¡°Beep Beep¡­¡± Just as Mo Wuji was contemplating whether to consult Fatty Guang, the jade token for Pharmacy 19 that had never made a single sound started beeping. With his fast reflexes, Mo Wuji dashed into the room in a flash, grabbed the jade token, then informing Yan¡¯Er, ¡°I¡¯ll be going out for awhile. Wait here and don¡¯t move around.¡± After his short brief to Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji sped towards Pharmacy 19. What kind of pill refiner was this? He was actually refining pills in the middle of the night. Chapter 70: In the Dark Chapter 70: In the Dark Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Pharmacy 19 was located pretty far away from Mo Wuji''s residence. He spent three minutes trying to get to the entrance of Pharmacy 19 even though he sprinted all the way here. Each of the pharmacies had an accompanying pill lab and therefore, Pharmacy 19''s corresponding pill lab was Pill Lab 19. Mo Wuji also found out why Pharmacy 19 had the least number of pill refiners who came here to refine pills. The answer he got was that the success rate of refining a pill was very low in this particular pharmacy. It did not matter who came here to refine pills, the rate of failure was just way higher than any other pharmacy and the difference was not simply a matter of a few percentage points. As more people heard about this, they stopped trying to refine pills at Pharmacy 19. It appeared that Wu Kai''s arrangement for Mo Wuji to work there helped him to focus and Mo Wuji would always be grateful for this. Concurrently, this arrangement was limiting Mo Wuji''s potential development in the future. After all, Mo Wuji''s intention to learn more about pills was made known to Wu Kai from the very beginning. How could I learn if no one will be here to refine pills? The truth was that it was Wu Kai¡¯s wish that Mo Wuji would not learn more about pharmacology. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji could spend 100 years learning and still not be able to achieve anything. However, Wu Kai did not want to rule out the possibility that Mo Wuji could indeed be a talented pill refiner and end up being accepted by a pill master as a disciple. Wu Kai could not imagine himself bowing and paying respects to Mo Wuji if he were to really become a pill master''s disciple. "Don''t you know the rules? Why are you so late?" Mo Wuji barely stepped into the pharmacy when he heard an enraged voice from within. Mo Wuji took two steps back as his eardrums were nearly about to burst. This was when he had a clear look at the man who shouted at him. It was an old man with a messy beard and equally messy hair. Furthermore, he had traces of drug stains on his body. Mo Wuji did not dare to stare as he hurried to bow, "I had to change before meeting a pill master like you. This was why I was late." In fact, Mo Wuji did not even sleep. Mo Wuji was worried that he would be at the receiving end of a lashing if his excuse of being late was that his residence was too far away. The old man''s tone and attitude towards Mo Wuji changed after listening to Mo Wuji''s explanation. Moreover, when he summoned for Mo Wuji, there was barely any light in the sky. "Take my slip to purchase some ingredients from the spiritual herbs warehouse. Do it quickly because you can forget about working here if you waste just a single second," The old man then handed Mo Wuji a jade slip as well as a beast-skinned paper before turning and heading back into the pharmacy. Mo Wuji was afraid to offend him, and hence, he sprinted towards the spiritual herbs warehouse. The Formless Blade Sect''s spiritual herbs warehouse was located inside the Hall of Affairs in which Mo Wuji had previously inquired about. The Hall of Affairs was where disciples came to collect resources for cultivation, missions and quests as well as to claim their contribution points. Furthermore, one could purchase anything and everything here as long as he had contribution points. In short, this is the most eventful place in the entire Formless Blade Sect. Mo Wuji was only a service disciple who was unable to collect contribution points. He had to serve for at least a year to be able to qualify for the collection of contribution points. Mo Wuji took a glance at the beast-skinned paper before guessing that it might be a pill formula. There were over ten herbs written on the paper in which Mo Wuji knew of. These included Iron Spot Flower, Grey Hemp, Green Fire Fruit etc. Based on the characteristics of the herbs, Mo Wuji''s guess was that it was a formula for quenching. It could very likely be for quenching spiritual channels. Mo Wuji could sense there was something wrong with this formula even though he had never seen it before. It was not because his drug refining ability was way above the old man but because of his knowledge of the characteristics of these herbs as well as his recent research on the pill manual. He strongly believed that the mixing of the Iron Spot Flower together with the Ring Cloud Bamboo Buds will lead to the unstable medicinal effects of the Green Fire Fruit. Mo Wuji believed that even the highest tier spiritual ingredients came from a plant. A spiritual ingredient will never be able to escape from its biological nature. According to the manual''s description of both the Iron Spot Flower and Ring Cloud Bamboo Buds, the mixture of these two herbs would result in the Green Fire Fruit losing its wood properties. Most of the pill refiners chose to use the Green Fire Fruit because of its wood properties therefore it would be pointless to use the Green Fire Fruit if it''s wood properties were affected. This was of course true unless a very strong pill refiner is capable of controlling all three herbs. However, Mo Wuji did not believe that old man was that capable of a pill refiner. Mo Wuji had no idea how important or crucial the Green Fire Fruit was to the success of this pill. Who knew whether Pill Master Shi¡¯s intent was indeed to reduce the wood properties of the Green Fire Fruit? Mo Wuji could not bother any more because he was only at the stage of understanding the characteristics of each spiritual ingredients. He had absolutely no knowledge of pill formulas. ... There was already a lot of movement in the Hall of Affairs early in the morning. Mo Wuji rushed over to the spiritual herb warehouse and handed the jade slip as well as the beast-skinned paper over saying, "Pharmacy 19." The one in charge of preparing the spiritual ingredients laughed and actually managed to get what Mo Wuji needed very swiftly. "Pharmacy 19 does seem to be very idle," the man in charge handed Mo Wuji the spiritual ingredients before adding this statement. Mo Wuji could not sense his sarcasm as he laughed together with him before replying, "Indeed. This is the first time in half a month that I''ve been ordered to collect ingredients." The one in charge suddenly whispered, "Brother, hurry get ready to change a place." "What do you mean?" "Do you have any idea what formula you are collecting the ingredients for? This formula is called the Channel Solidifying Pill in which Pill Master Shi recently acquired. I''ve heard that this could solidify the tenacity of the spiritual channels, ascending the potential of a cultivator. This belonged in the category of the Tier 3 spiritual pill. Pill Master Shi is only a Tier 2 pill refiner therefore this would be too difficult a task for him. Let me warn you, Pill Master Shi had already changed 7 pill labs and every time his refinement failed, he will change a lab along with the service disciple that was working with him..." Mo Wuji heard this and became furious. How dare he do this to his service disciple when it was his own incapability to blame. If this was really to be true, he would be fraught with grim possibilities. If Mo Wuji were to be chased away by Pill Master Shi, he highly doubted that Wu Kai could help persuade Pill Master Shi to let Mo Wuji continue staying in the residence at the Blood Lotus Lake. Mo Wuji had finally established himself, found a great place to cultivate and was awaiting more opportunities to learn even more about cultivation. He really did not want to leave now. As he noticed Mo Wuji''s dumbfounded look, the man comforted him and said, "Brother, I suggest you hurry and hand him the ingredients, then find Deacon Wu to think of a quick solution." He believed that Deacon Wu must be the reason why Mo Wuji was placed at Pharmacy 19. "Thank you senior apprentice brother. May I ask if you happen to have any Water Velvet Vine here?" Mo Wuji knew he had to ask for it himself. It seemed evident that it was not intentional to place both Iron Spot Flower and Ring Cloud Bamboo Buds instead it was Pill Master Shi''s poor judgement. The man nodded his head, "Yes, however, this was not in the list that Pill Master Shi wrote down. If you wish to buy this personally, you have to exchange it with your contribution points." Mo Wuji said with a little embarrassment, "I only have gold coins as I am not yet qualified to collect contribution points. How about I offer you 1000 gold coins to help me exchange a stalk of the Water Velvet Vine?" The man took out the Water Velvet Vine almost immediately, "Water Velvet Vines are very common. 100 gold coins will suffice." "Thank you senior apprentice brother, my name is Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji replied gratefully as he appreciated the good nature of this man for not making use of this chance to earn more gold coins. "My name is Fei Bingzhu. Hurry back because Pill Master Shi''s temper isn''t exactly very good," the man reminded Mo Wuji once again. Mo Wuji bid farewell and hurried off. He wanted the Water Velvet Vine because he knew it was capable of keeping the wood properties of the Green Fire Fruit therefore increasing the success rate of the concortment of this drug. According to the introduction of the manual, the combination of Iron Spot Flower and Ring Cloud Bamboo Buds could result in the release of a large amount of golden energy. A capable pill refiner would be able to use the golden energy to further increase the quality of the pill. However, a incapable drug refiner could lead to the misuse of the golden energy and hence ruin the wood properties of the Green Fire Fruit. The rich water energy of the Water Velvet Vine could help moisturise the wood energy hence reducing the consumption of the wood energy. Mo Wuji did not dare to try controlling and utilising the golden energy as he was worried it might affect the effectiveness of the final product. However, now that he found out that the wood properties of the Green Fire Fruit are still needed, he had to add in the Water Velvet Vine. In other words, a third tier pill could be concocted by a second tier pill refiner if Water Velvet Vine was added. The only drawback would be that the quality of the pill may be reduced slightly. Mo Wuji would not bring the Water Velvet Vine just like that. He would tinker the Water Velvet Vine into a concoction and then spread this concoction onto the epidermis of the Green Fire Fruit. The success of this approach could rely on luck because if the fire was not well controlled, the water properties of the Water Velvet Vine could disappear, rendering it useless after all. Mo Wuji had to try his luck because the worst possible scenario would just be for him to leave. Chapter 71: Pill Master Shi’s Doggie Paddle Chapter 71: Pill Master Shi¡¯s Doggie Paddle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Why did you take so long to fetch my ingredients? What exactly were you doing?¡± When Mo Wuji returned to Pharmacy 19, he was immediately scolded. Mo Wuji felt extremely helpless and could only suffer patiently and silently as he said, ¡°The ingredients I got at first wasn''t very fresh. I was afraid that it might affect the results so I specially went back to switch for a fresher batch of ingredients. As the saying goes: Give me six hours to chop a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe. Even though I''m merely a service disciple, I will still try my best to make sure that you can start your task well.¡± Pill Master Shi grabbed the ingredients in Mo Wuji''s hands. He did not even bother to examine their freshness as he casually said, ¡°Not bad, you did put in a bit of thought. But if my refinement fails, you will still get chased out.¡± This b*stard¡­ He really liked to push the blame onto others; attributing his failure to the service disciple. He¡¯s really a peculiar person. ¡°Pill Master Shi, when you are concocting pills, can I watch by the side?¡± Knowing that he was powerless in front of Pill Master Shi, Mo Wuji did not mind Pill Master Shi''s words. Since he was going to get kicked out if the concoction failed, he might as well be a little thick skinned and watch while it happens. That would make it worth it. However, Mo Wuji did not know that his request to watch a pill refiner concoct pills was a taboo in the pill refinement world. Initially, Pill Master Shi was in a hurry to start concocting pills but he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He sized Mo Wuji up before saying in disbelief, ¡°A mere service disciple wants to watch me concoct pills?¡± This fella was so sloppy and he¡¯s a mere Tier 2 Pill Refiner, yet he actually looked down on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt rather dissatisfied in his heart. But little did Mo Wuji know, a Tier 2 Pill Refiner was highly valued within the sect. Mo Wuji laughed in his heart and started to boast, ¡°Pill Master Shi, back in my village, I have another nickname: Lucky Star. Whenever I''m around, people''s success rates in whatever they did would be a lot higher. My neighbour was a drug refiner, and he would always call me over when he was concocting drugs.¡± Pill Master Shi laughed out loud and said suddenly, ¡°I have never seen a service disciple with balls as big as yours. Very good¡­ Today, I will let you have the honour of seeing me work. But if I fail, you can just go throw yourself off the Hanging Sword Cliff.¡± Mo Wuji shivered; he had heard about the Hanging Sword Cliff before. Within the Formless Blade Sect, there was a steep cliff and there was a huge broken sword hung by the side of the cliff. It was rumoured that the sect''s evil and criminal disciples would be thrown down the Hanging Sword Cliff. ¡°Er¡­ I think I won''t go in with you then.¡± Even though he had added the Water Velvet Vine, this Tier 2 Pill Refiner still might not be able to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill. One look at Pill Master Shi, and you could see that he was an incapable fella. Pill Master Shi did not wait for Mo Wuji to finish speaking and put his hand on Mo Wuji''s shoulder. A powerful force swept up like a vacuum, pulling Mo Wuji over. In any case, Mo Wuji was a Channel Opening Stage Level 2 cultivator. The moment Pill Master Shi moved his hand, he immediately circulated his spiritual energy and extricated himself from Pill Master Shi¡¯s suction force. With a few swift movements, he landed a few metres away from Pill Master Shi. ¡°Ai¡­ You''re actually in Channel Opening Stage Level 3¡­ No, that''s not right. Level 2?¡± Pill Master Shi looked at Mo Wuji in shock. It was not as though there wasn''t any Channel Opening Stage Level 2 cultivators among the service disciples. There were even Channel Opening Stage Level 4 service disciples. But it was rare to see someone as young as Mo Wuji being at Channel Opening Stage Level 2. But that wasn''t the main point. With Mo Wuji''s reaction speed and abilities, he could rival Channel Opening Stage Level 3 cultivators. Pill Master Shi was a Tier 2 Pill Master, and at the same time, he was a Spirit Building Stage Level 2 cultivator. Even though he used less than 10% of his power with that grab, it was not an easy feat for Mo Wuji to escape in that split moment. Mo Wuji laughed awkwardly, ¡°My spiritual roots are of low grade. I cultivated for 4 to 5 years to get to this level.¡± Pill Master Shi accepted Mo Wuji''s explanation. He nodded, ¡°That''s not bad. Since you managed to avoid my grab, I will spare you from jumping off the Hanging Sword Cliff. Come in ¡° With that, Pill Master Shi entered the pill lab. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and followed Pill Master Shi into the pill lab. This was Mo Wuji''s first time entering the pill lab. When he entered, the first thing he saw was a pill furnace. The furnace was 1 metre tall and approximately 60 centimetres wide. There was a shelf beside the pill furnace. Mo Wuji saw Pill Master Shi put the ingredients on top of that shelf. Besides that, there was also a stone seat in the lab. On top of the furnace, was an opening. After entering the pill lab, Pill Master Shi did not speak. He inserted a jade slip into a groove beside the pill furnace before forcefully pulling a handle on the pill furnace¡¯s side. With a ¡°Peng!¡±, a dazzling blue flame sprang from the ground. Mo Wuji was not totally unknowledgable towards pill fires.There were myriad forms of pill fires; Earth Fire was one of them. Clearly, Pill Master Shi was using Earth Fire. Mo Wuji did not ask any questions; he knew that he did not even have the qualifications to ask questions. It was already a whopping fortune for Pill Master Shi to allow him to observe the process. Pill Master Shi used the fire to burn under the furnace for a few minutes. All of a sudden, he used his palms to continuously slap the sides of the furnace. The furnace lid flew up, and with Pill Master Shi¡¯s slapping, the dirt and dust within the furnace flew up and landed outside the pill furnace. Pill Master Shi took a gourd from his bosom and faced it into the furnace. Some unknown liquid flowed into the furnace Mo Wuji was extremely curious on what''s that liquid. In the pill manual that he was reading, he had not read about adding any sort of liquid into the pill furnace. However, he held back his curiosity. He was worried that the moment the question left his mouth, Pill Master Shi would immediately kick him out of the lab. After adding the solution, Pill Master Shi let the pill furnace burn for a few minutes before throwing in the ingredients one by one. Standing by the side, Mo Wuji could not see what was happening within the pill furnace. He could only see Pill Master Shi adjusting the size of the fire and continuously using a spatula to flip the ingredients within the furnace. Mo Wuji did not feel any sense of admiration or appreciation to Pill Master Shi¡¯s pill concoction. He only saw an old fella stir frying vegetables. With Pill Master Shi¡¯s constant ¡®stir-frying¡¯, Mo Wuji started to smell an overflowing herbal smell. Mo Wuji had researched on plants and herbs for many years. He could recognize the smell of the Water Velvet Vine. The smell of the Water Velvet Vine was mixing with the smell of the Green Fire Fruit. Clearly, the Water Velvet Vine was working its effects. Pill Master Shi''s eyes never left the pill furnace as he intently flipped the ingredients and controlled the fire intensity. With his look of intense concentration, Mo Wuji knew that he did not notice the Water Velvet Vine smell. Time slowly passed. Mo Wuji could see a drop of sweat flowing down Pill Master Shi''s forehead, dripping onto the ground. However, Pill Master Shi did not seem to notice this as all his concentration was on the ingredients. Mo Wuji sighed. The reason why Pill Master Shi managed to be a Tier 2 Pill Refiner probably wasn''t his intelligence or his talent. It was because of his concentration and focus when concocting pills. That was when Pill Master Shi started to slap the side of the pill furnace continuously with both his hands. Even though Mo Wuji had not seen other pill refiners, he really could not feel any form of admiration for Pill Master Shi. There was a huge disparity between his concentration and his actions. He looked like he was swimming, and it wasn''t any cool sort of swimming, but the doggie paddle. A whole hour passed. Suddenly, Pill Master Shi slapped the side of the furnace and a murky black thing emerged from the furnace. This should be the herb dregs. With a sniff, Mo Wuji knew that the herbs dregs contained quite a bit of the spiritual ingredient essence. This showed that Pill Master Shi was far from extracting all the essence from within the ingredients. Chapter 72: Rejection Chapter 72: Rejection Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Even though Mo Wuji could see that Pill Master Shi did not extract the ingredients cleanly, he was not qualified to judge. He, himself, did not even know how to purify a pill. Purifying a pill was a cumbersome and complicated process. Mo Wuji was still in the elementary stage of learning the features and compatibility of the various spiritual ingredients; he had not touched on purifying spiritual ingredients. Furthermore, purifying spiritual ingredients was a practiced skill. With his current position, it was practically impossible for him to learn the skill. Another hour passed and Mo Wuji could gradually smell a faint pill fragrance. The look of excitement on Pill Master Shi¡¯s face became more and more animated. He could feel that his luck today was better than usual. At this moment, Pill Master Shi threw down the spatula in his hands and reduced the fire within the pill furnace. However, his two hands were still constantly patting the exterior of the pill furnace. Mo Wuji could seemingly see a few pills rolling within the furnace. ¡°Kacha!¡± Mo Wuji saw Pill Master Shi push the handle beside the pill furnace with one hand and slap the pill furnace with his other. Six green pills with a red tinge emerged and flew into a jade vase. ¡°Hahahaha¡­¡± Seeing the six pills fly out, Pill Master Shi laughed out heartily. The excitement and satisfaction in his eyes could not be concealed. To be honest, Mo Wuji felt a little disappointed. Even though he was not able to do what Pill Master Shi just did, he really could not feel any sort of admiration from Pill Master Shi''s technique and process. Besides the initial action where Pill Master Shi expelled the dust and dirt from the pill furnace which looked a little handsome, the rest of the process really did not call for admiration. He did not see the fabled hand and pill techniques; he only saw a spatula. He did not see the fabled pill fires; he only saw the Earth Fire. He did not see the fabled pill harvesting; he only saw some pills being slapped out of the furnace. ¡°Tier 3 spiritual pill¡­ I finally concocted a Tier 3 spiritual pill, and it''s a Channel Solidifying Pill. I, Shi Jun, am finally a Tier 3 Pill Refiner. Master, you said that I¡¯m not talented enough to advance to be a Tier 3 Pill Refiner, but today, I did it¡­¡± Pill Master Shi grasped the jade vase agitatedly. Mo Wuji sighed; must he be so excited? This fella¡¯s master wasn''t wrong. With his pill refining techniques and qualifications, it was indeed very difficult for him to advance to a Tier 3 Pill Refiner. Mo Wuji was not an actual pill refiner but he could tell that this Pill Master Shi¡¯s potential was limited. Diligence could make up for several innate inadequacies. But for some professions, painstaking diligence without talent would not result in success. For example, botanist research back on Earth was one such profession. It was a profession which required some intuition. ¡°You were right. You really are a lucky star. To concoct this Channel Solidifying Pill, I went through 11 failures. It was really a good decision to allow you into the pill lab. I really succeeded and became a Tier 3 Pill Refiner,¡± Shi Jun spoke with great fervor and excitement, using ''really¡¯ a total of three times. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart, Look at your appearance... Not only is your name inappropriate [1], your own evaluation of your pill concocting standard is also crappy. I don''t believe that you would be able to concoct the same batch of Channel Solidifying Pill again. Just be honest and remain as a Tier 2 Pill Refiner. Tier 3 Pill Refiner? You really think too much of yourself. Previously, Mo Wuji thought that this Pill Master Shi only failed seven times; he did not expect this fella to actually fail 11 times. If he did not help this fella, this 12th attempt would also have resulted in a failure. ¡°Congratulations Pill Master Shi. Junior will now take his leave.¡± Mo Wuji was not interested on staying and listening to this fella boast. Shi Jun suddenly called out, ¡°There''s no hurry to leave. What''s your name?¡± ¡°Junior''s name is Mo Wuji,¡± Mo Wuji hurried to reply even though he felt that this Shi Jun would not have a bright future. He was clear that, in the sect, the difference between Shi Jun and him was like the difference between the bright moon in the sky and a tiny firefly. Shi Jun was not a person he could offend. Shi Jun nodded his head in satisfaction, ¡°You''re not bad. In the future, you can follow me and deliver ingredients to me.¡± Mo Wuji cursed in his heart. Shi Jun might as well as him to kill himself. With Shi Jun''s pill concocting ability, he would fail 11 times for every ten attempts just to concoct a Tier 3 spiritual pill. ¡°Senior, junior is Pharmacy 19¡¯s service disciple. It would not be convenient for me to follow you. I hope that you can understand,¡± Mo Wuji did not hesitate to reject Shi Jun. Shi Jun stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief. How rare was this opportunity? If it was some other service disciple, he would have long kneeled on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude. However, not only wasn''t Mo Wuji thankful for the opportunity, he even rejected it. ¡°Did I hear it wrongly? Do you know what you just said? Do you know what you will missing out on?¡± Shi Jun recovered from his daze and asked puzzledly. Mo Wuji clearly knew the reason. Following a mediocre refiner like Shi Jun, it would be abnormal for him to actually have a future. He would rather stay here and dispense medicinal ingredients and learn the methods of other pill refiners. Follow Shi Jun and learn how to stir fry vegetables? Mo Wuji really wasn''t interested. After confirming that Mo Wuji was not willing to be his personal runner, Shi Jun snorted and threw Mo Wuji a jade vase before leaving angrily. A service disciple rejecting him had thoroughly infuriated him. However, he did promise Mo Wuji some rewards and there was no point losing his reputation over a small service disciple. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not reject Shi Jun''s rewards. After all, he deserved it. He was the one who purchased the Water Velvet Vine with his own money, and if not for the Water Velvet Vine, Shi Jun attempt would probably have ended in another failure. Looking at the vase in his hands, Mo Wuji was satisfied. Even if the pill inside was worthless, at least the jade vase had some value. Even his treasured channel opening solution wasn''t stored in a jade vase but a typical glass bottle. The jade vase was labeled ''Energy Condensing Pill¡¯. This pill was useful for cultivators at the initial levels of the Channel Opening Stage; it would help increase their cultivation speed. However, Mo Wuji did not feel that this pill would be useful to him. It was enough for him to absorb the Heaven and Earth¡¯s spiritual energy, there was no need for this Energy Condensing Pill. Mo Wuji really did not mind Shi Jun''s anger. After keeping his pills, he went back to research on his wordless pill manual. Even though Shi Jun''s technique looked cr*ppy in Mo Wuji''s eyes, Mo Wuji still learnt several things from him. Mo Wuji''s next stage would be learning how to purify spiritual ingredients. Purifying spiritual ingredients and learning the characteristics of spiritual ingredients are different; purifying spiritual ingredients required actual practice. Mo Wuji would need to purchase some low grade spiritual ingredients and learn through practice. However, he did not have much gold coins on him. The cheapest spiritual ingredients would already cost at least 10 gold coins. The better ones could cost 10 to even 100 thousand gold coins. The even better ones couldn''t even be bought with gold coins, but had to be purchased with spirit stones. Mo Wuji had only heard of spirit stones as a currency. He had never seen one before, much less use it. He even heard that spirit stones had uses beyond currency; it could act as an energy source for cultivation. It contained denser and purer spiritual energy compared to the spiritual energy from the surroundings, and it was easier to absorb this spiritual energy. To purify ingredients, besides a practiced hand, one would also require a high grade pill furnace. Mo Wuji couldn''t even afford to buy spiritual ingredients, much less pill furnaces. Looking at the sleeping Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji decided to look for Wu Kai for help. He needed to find someone to take care of Yan¡¯Er. Then, he could go and search for spiritual ingredients instead of purchasing them. [1] The Jun (¿¡) in Shi Jun''s name means handsome. Chapter 73: Last Minute Arrangements Chapter 73: Last Minute Arrangements Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Deacon Wu¡­¡± Mo Wuji arrived at Wu Kai¡¯s lodgings, only to discover that compared to the place that Wu Kai lived at, his little room really didn¡¯t count for much. Although the area around Wu Kai¡¯s apartment was not as spacious as his, but the spiritual energy here was many times greater than at his own area. As such, Mo Wuji suspected that there was some sort of method being used to gather the spiritual energy, to increase its concentration to exceptional levels. An Earth Sect¡¯s service disciple could actually get treated so well. What about those core disciples in the top sects, what insane level of privilege would they experience? ¡°Haha Brother Mo, how did you find the time to come visit me?¡± Wu Kai saw Mo Wuji approaching from afar, regretting that he did not leave earlier, unfortunately bumping into him. As the deacon of service disciples, he was aware that Pharmacy 19, which Mo Wuji was under, was occupied by Pill Master Shi in the morning. It was the same Pill Master Shi that changed pill labs seven times consecutively, and chased away all service disciples of those seven pill labs in the process. Now that Mo Wuji was here, it must have meant that Pill Master Shi had failed again and chased Mo Wuji out. Needless to say, He was here to request for a relaxed job from Wu Kai. However, as he had already repaid the Mo Wuji¡¯s goodwill in the form of a Winged Sea Leopard egg, Wu Kai was much less willing to make favourable arrangements once again. ¡°Deacon Wu, I¡¯m sorry for not coming by sooner. My sincerest apologies for troubling you again on my second visit,¡± Mo Wuji bowed respectfully with a smile from a distance. This much Wu Kai still had expected, but just as he was finding an excuse to turn down Mo Wuji, he heard the following proposition, ¡°Deacon Wu, I have six Energy Condensing Pills here. Since I have poor quality spirit roots, it will be a waste for me to keep these pills. Why don¡¯t you take them instead?¡± Out of the 12 pills that Shi Jun gave him, Mo Wuji planned to keep only six. ¡°Energy Condensing Pills?¡± With a single glance, Wu Kai recognised the contents of the glass bottle that Mo Wuji passed to him. Even if he were a deacon of the service disciples, Energy Condensing Pills were hard to come by. To mortals, the price of one of those pills would scare them sh*tless, so what about six Energy Condensing Pills? With these six pills, he would be able to advance his cultivation level another step forward. Gripping the Energy Condensing Pills in hand, Wu Kai hurriedly asked, ¡°Where did you get these pills from?¡± While it was possible to buy those pills from the Pill Market, but their prices were staggering, often not even measurable in gold coins. He did not mind the high price, as sourcing for gold coins was not an issue for him, but he would be helpless if alternative payments were required. The pills sold by the sect always required one to exchange contribution points for them, however Wu Kai did not have many points anyway, and could not invest them all in Energy Condensing Pills either. After receiving the gift of six Energy Condensing Pills, Wu Kai decided to help Mo Wuji one more time, in accordance with his principle of helping others as long as they helped him. How he handled such situations was crucial, as it would determine whether others would give him further benefits in the future. However, his exchange rate was one favour for one instance of assistance. If anyone wanted his help a second time, they would have to pay him again. Seeing that Wu Kai did not want to give up the Energy Condensing Pills, Mo Wuji knew that he was about to succeed, ¡°This was my reward after helping Pill Master Shi successfully refine pills. His intention was to have me follow him to obtain ingredients for pill refining from now on, but as you know, I have someone to take care of, hence I can¡¯t follow him everywhere. So I rejected his offer.¡± ¡°What?¡± Wu Kai¡¯s eyes bulged open as he stared at Mo Wuji. A few deep breaths later, he calmed down and asked, ¡°Brother Mo, you¡¯re saying that Pill Master Shi succeeded in refining pills at Pharmacy 19¡¯s pill lab, and rewarded you with Energy Condensing Pills? On top of that, he wants you to fetch ingredients for him from now on, and you reject him?¡± Wu Kai did not believe a word that Mo Wuji said, but there was all this evidence presented before him. If it wasn¡¯t Pill Master Shi that rewarded him with the Energy Condensing Pills, where could Mo Wuji have obtained them? This sort of pill wasn¡¯t something that you could just pick off the street. But for Mo Wuji¡¯s appointment as ingredients boy, Wu Kai did not doubt him at all. Some things like this would get you killed if you lied about it. Mo Wuji intentionally mentioned that Pill Master Shi values him greatly, in order to let Wu Kai know that he has some backing. With Wu Kai stunned by his words, Mo Wuji felt rather satisfied, calmly saying, ¡°It is indeed like that, so I¡¯ll have to trouble Deacon Wu today,¡± Hearing this, Wu Kai immediately reacted. He was now aware that Mo Wuji was not here to change jobs and also how much Pill Master Shi valued him. Thus Mo Wuji immediately became a much more important figure to him. ¡°Brother Mo, since we are such good friends, it¡¯s no trouble at all. Just tell me what you need, as long as I, Wu Kai, have the ability to do it, I will not turn your request down,¡± Wu Kai thumped his chest while saying. ¡°Brother Wu, the b*tchy mother of Tao Ao refuses to leave, claiming that she has to take care of Tao Ao, and they can¡¯t do without that job. It isn''t that good for me to force her out either, after all, in the past¡­¡± Fatty Guang huffed and puffed as he ran over, but in the middle of his sentence, he noticed that Mo Wuji stood just at the side, hence he cut instinctively cut himself off. ¡°So Brother Mo is also here,¡± Fatty Guang casually acknowledged Mo Wuji¡¯s presence. Mo Wuji frowned, even though he never heard anything about what Fatty Guang just said, but he could roughly guess what was going on from the limited information that was mentioned. It must have been that Tao Ao and his wife gave Wu Kai some benefits in exchange for his current job. Now Tao Ao¡¯s body became plagued with some ailment, so his wife was forced to both work and take care of him at the same time. But Wu Kai did not care about the situation they were in, and added insult to injury by giving the job away to someone else. Yet Tao Ao¡¯s wife refused to leave. Indeed, Wu Kai had no moral baseline. If he continued to stay at his position, eventually he would fall to the state of the Tao Ao couple. Wu Kai reached the position of the service disciple¡¯s deacon through his situational awareness, thus Mo Wuji¡¯s frown was instantly captured by his eagle-like eyes. With a chuckle, he immediately began explaining to Mo Wuji, ¡°That Tao Ao couple was originally posted to go to the Meals Department to work, but Tao Ao offended someone and had his legs broken. So now his b*itch wife has to take care of him, and as a result is unable to continue fulfilling his job scope. I was planning to give him an easier job to do instead.¡± I¡¯ll be damned if I believed you, Mo Wuji thought to himself. His face however, showed a different expression, wearing a wide smile and replying, ¡°Deacon Wu sure is kind, I¡¯ll have to thank you on the Tao Ao couple¡¯s behalf¡­¡± At this juncture, Mo Wuji asked himself: wasn¡¯t he here to find someone to take care of Yan¡¯Er? ¡°Deacon Wu, I¡¯m begging you, please don¡¯t chase me out. If I leave the current job and bring Tao Ao along, it would be simply waiting for death¡­¡± A wailing voice echoed out, and soon enough, Mo Wuji could see a young woman in plain and rugged clothing stumbling towards them. This must be Tao Ao¡¯s wife. Her hands are calloused, so she should be involved in physical work, but yet she exuded an aura of kindness. Once sighting her, Fatty Guang swiftly moved in front of her, and stopped her from continuing her advance. ¡°That¡¯s right,Deacon Wu, you also know the situation that I¡¯m in. I intend to go for a trip, so I¡¯m looking for someone to take care of Yan¡¯Er. How about we let this b*tch do that?¡± Mo Wuji followed up. Before he set his eyes on Tao Ao¡¯s wife, his impression was that she was fiercely loyal woman, refusing to leave her husband behind. But now that he saw firsthand what she was like, Mo Wuji was even surer that this was a good candidate to take care of Yan¡¯Er. Ideally, he was looking for someone who was meticulous, caring, and most importantly, kind. ¡°That¡¯s the best arrangement, Brother Mo you really helped me out this time, rather than the other way around,¡± Wu Kau quickly mentioned. Once he was finished, Wu Kai shouted at the woman, ¡°Xiong Xiuzhu, Brother Mo is willing to take in you two. Quickly come over to thank him.¡± Xiong Xiuzhu was momentarily stunned, and stared at Mo Wuji, unable to process what had happened in time. If Mo Wuji really took in the Tao Ao couple, it would indeed be doing a favour for Wu Kai. Being the deacon of the service disciples, Wu Kai had many people to make arrangements for, especially for those disciples who had relatives with significant positions. Each one of them that were poorly arranged for, would be another superior that he offended. His original plan was to chase away the Tao Ao couple, as these two people, who had neither spirit roots nor influence, could be handled however he deemed fit without any repercussions. Since Mo Wuji wanted to take over them, he would naturally facilitate this transfer. Mo Wuji gave out a short laugh, ¡°This is not the only thing that I¡¯ve come to visit Deacon Wu about. Now that there¡¯s the Tao Ao couple taking care of Yan¡¯Er while I go out for a trip, I¡¯m no longer as worried anymore. But another issue would be regarding the service disciples attached to Pharmacy 19. If I have any ingredient retrieval jobs while I¡¯m not around, I hope that Deacon Wu can help me arrange for someone to cover for me temporarily.¡± Chapter 74: Five Elements Desolate Domain Chapter 74: Five Elements Desolate Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°This is just a small matter. Brother Mo, feel free to go out and roam; I will arrange for help. I will also help you build a residence for Xiong Xiuzhu and Tao Ao,¡± Wu Kai guaranteed. Mo Wuji gave him six Energy Condensing Pills for a small favour. Thus, he took the initiative to build a house for Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu to stay in. Xiong Xiuzhu, who was standing by the side, finally reacted. She understood that Mo Wuji could give her a job. She finally found some hope; if not for this, Tao Ao and her would not be able to survive. Unlike the city life of mortals, the workshops and cities in the Formless Blade Sect were catered for cultivators. There were also a few mortals who couldn''t cultivate, but they had their means to form a small social circle among themselves. However, for a mortal like Xiong Xiuzhu who even had to take care of Tao Ao, she was simply powerless and could not join in that circle. If she wanted to leave the Formless Blade Sect and depart for the nearest mortal city, she would have to travel thousands of miles. More importantly, these thousands of miles were barren and unpopulated lands. It was simply impossible for a mortal like her. ¡°Thank you benefactor for your saving grace.¡± Xiong Xiuzhu did not care what Mo Wuji wanted her to do. As long as she had a job, that would be enough. Mo Wuji nodded his head, ¡°Go back and pack up. Later, go over to my place; I live by the Blood Lotus Lake. I just need you to help take care of my sister, Yan¡¯Er. Yan¡¯Er suffered from some trauma and she might behave like a child. So I would need you to be careful and patient with her.¡± Hearing that she only needed to take care of a girl, Xiong Xiuzhu was even more thankful. At least her life wouldn''t be tougher than it was now. Xiong Xiuzhu moved really fast. After explaining the situation to Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji was about to leave his house but Xiong Xiuzhu had already arrived at his doorstep with her disabled husband. Xiong Xiuzhu''s husband, Tao Ao, had an average build, and he looked quite handsome. However, both his legs were broken and he was huddled up on a wheelchair. He did not look like a person who would find trouble, so Mo Wuji guessed that he was probably being bullied when his legs got broken. However, Mo Wuji was barely sustaining himself. Naturally, he would not ask Tao Ao about what happened his legs. It was difficult for mortals to live among cultivators. Mo Wuji had also briefly examined the degree of Tao Ao''s injury. With his current methods, he would not be able to cure Tao Ao. The couple also did not request Mo Wuji to treat Tao Ao''s legs. They were already immensely grateful to Mo Wuji for accepting them and giving them this carefree life. Over the next three days, Yan''Er gradually got used to the patient Xiong Xiuzhu. Also, with Wu Kai''s help, Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu''s residence was also completed. Mo Wuji could finally be at ease with leaving his place. In this sort of environment, Mo Wuji could not relax for a single day. He needed to work hard to improve his personal power so that he could take care of Yan''Er and protect himself. ¡­ The Formless Blade Sect Hall of Affairs. When Mo Wuji arrived, the hall was already filled with people. Mo Wuji knew that a service disciple was not qualified to accept any missions or quests. He wanted to see if any of the disciples who accepted quests would require help. This was not the first time that Mo Wuji came to the Hall of Affairs. Not long ago, he came to gather ingredients for Pill Master Shi. However, the Hall of Affairs today felt different from the past. Previously, the disciples were always rushing around, albeit to form groups, accept quests or to purchase items using the sect''s contribution points. However, what Mo Wuji currently saw was different. Many disciples were congregating together and seemed to be discussing something. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, congratulations!¡± Mo Wuji was intending to listen in on the discussions when someone called out to him. The one who called him was an acquaintance: the Spiritual Herbs Warehouse¡¯s Fei Bingzhu. It was due to Fei Bingzhu''s help that Mo Wuji could buy the Water Velvet Vine. Furthermore, Fei Bingzhu did not take advantage of him, but sold Mo Wuji the Water Velvet Vine at a reasonable price. Ostensibly, Fei Bingzhu must have heard of Pill Master Shi''s success. ¡°I was lucky. Pill Master Shi¡¯s skill was too impressive.¡± Mo Wuji laughed and walked over. As he was approaching Fei Bingzhu, Mo Wuji whispered, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Fei, what''s going on today? Why is everyone gathering together? What are they discussing?¡± ¡°Our Formless Blade Sect''s Formless Blade Mountain is opening. Do you know about the Formless Blade Mountain? Even the Heavenly Temple''s Heavenly Herb Mountain cannot compare to our Formless Blade Mountain. The Formless Blade Mountain has not opened for close to a thousand years. What good things do you think will be inside? Too bad it has nothing to do with us,¡± Fei Bingzhu sighed. Mo Wuji finally knew the topic of people''s intense discussion. Well, that''s normal. If he had the qualifications to enter the Formless Blade Mountain which had not been opened for a millennium, he would have joined them in their discussions. ¡°Senior apprentice brother Fei, since the Formless Blade Mountain had not been opened for a thousand years, why is it suddenly opening now?¡± Mo Wuji was clear that he did not qualify to enter the Formless Blade Mountain but he could not help but want to inquire more. Fei Bingzhu pointed to the sky and spoke softly, ¡° Ten years ago, the first level of the Five Elements Desolate Domain opened. To maximize their benefits which they could reap, the five empires went into war. All parties suffered heavy losses. Ultimately, the five empires decided to host a competition to compete for the resources in the first level of the Five Elements Desolate Domain.¡± ¡°What''s the Five Elements Desolate Domain?¡± Mo Wuji got more and more puzzled. Fei Bingzhu maintained his patience and explained, ¡°You''re a new service disciple, so it''s natural that you don''t know. Do you know that in all five empires, very few cultivators actually advance into the Heaven Realm? And there isn''t even a single Heaven Sect?¡± Mo Wuji nodded, ¡°I did hear of that. Is this related to the Five Elements Desolate Domain?¡± Fei Bingzhu replied, ¡°Of course they''re related. I heard that the Five Elements Desolate Domain cut off the five empires¡¯ source of spiritual energy. Without this source of spiritual energy, it is an extremely difficult affair to advance into the Heaven Realm. In these countless years, the few experts who advanced into the Heaven Realm were all the empires¡¯ peak geniuses. Even still they could only stagnate within the 1st of the 3 Heavens in the Heaven Realm. On the other hand, in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, while Heaven Realm experts were not extremely common, there were still a lot more of them than within the five empires.¡± ¡°If that''s the case, why can''t everyone enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain together?¡± Mo Wuji asked puzzledly. Fei Bingzhu snickered, ¡°Your words sound as sweet as a song. Enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain together? Do you think it''s so easy to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain? Moreover, only the first level is open. Even if you pass through the first level, you wouldn''t be able to advance without knowing where the second level is. There were several experts from the five empires who tried to find the second level but they were never seen again. I heard that there was even a Heaven Realm expert who went in. Of course, we won''t know whether they perished or advanced to the next level. After everyone knew that the Five Elements Desolate Domain could not be forcefully opened, the first thing everyone did was to fight for the cultivation resources on the first level. Countless cultivators died over these years. This was also why many sects are taking in large amounts of disciples.¡± ¡°Isn''t it enough to send in their experts? What''s the use in recruiting so many disciples?¡± The more Mo Wuji listened, the more confused he got. ¡°The Five Elements Desolate Domain is not like ordinary places. I heard that it''s restricted by Heaven''s Laws. Only Channel Opening and Spirit Building cultivators can freely enter the first level. More powerful cultivators will be pressured by the Heaven''s Laws, and could not leave for a long time. It''s rumored that several Heaven Realm experts immediately disappeared after entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and it was exactly due to these Heaven''s Laws.¡± Fei Bingzhu spoke with a mysterious expression. Mo Wuji still found it difficult to understand. What Heaven''s Laws pressure? Mo Wuji wanted to continue asking Fei Bingzhu but as Fei Bingzhu also heard all these from someone else, he did not fully understand either. ¡°Aren''t the empires controlled by the supreme sects? Why was the war between empires and not sects?¡± Mo Wuji no longer asked anymore deep questions for he knew that Fei Bingzhu probably would not be able to answer him. Fei Bingzhu laughed, ¡°Aren''t they the same thing? The sects only borrow the name of the empires to split their territories. During the actual wars, it will still be the sects¡¯ cultivators undergoing battle. Our Formless Blade Sect also participates in the battles. Eventually, the big sects felt the losses in war was too much, and decided to compete in a more refined manner. The spiritual ingredients and resources from the Five Elements Desolate Domain are all top grade. Each one of them is simple priceless. Many of these ingredients can help cultivators at the peak of the Earth Realm advance into the Heaven Realm. Thus, the five empires compete in pill concoction and this competition takes place once every three years. There is a quota to the number of people who can enter, so the empires will compete for these places.¡± ¡°Is it because our Formless Blade Sect wasn''t performing well in the competitions? So we''re opening the Formless Blade Mountain to nurture more pill refiners?¡± Mo Wuji could roughly guess the reason behind the opening of the Formless Blade Mountain. Fei Bingzhu nodded, ¡°That''s the case. Not only does the sect want to nurture more pill refiners, it also wants to raise the levels of the existing ones. All this is so that the Formless Blade Sect can achieve more places within the Five Elements Desolate Domain quota. There are many people who died in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, but even if countless more die, the Five Elements Desolate Domain remains extremely attractive to cultivators. The spiritual ingredients and treasured grasses within are truly heaven defying. Imagine if you find a spiritual fruit which allows an Earth Realm expert to advance into the Heaven Realm? Your sect will immediately rise to become a Quasi-Heaven sect.¡± ¡°Formless Blade Sect represents Xing Han Empire, right? As long as Xing Han Empire gets some places, won''t the Formless Blade Sect be allocated some places? Unless there is some internal competition within the empire to distribute the places?¡± ¡°No, it''s not like that. With the new form of competition, sects will represent themselves. It is no longer a matter of empires. Xing Han Empire''s guardian west is the Heavenly Temple, but this does not mean that they will get more places? If our Formless Blade Sect performs better in the pill concoction competition, we might be able to get more places to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.¡± Through this question and answer session, Mo Wuji completely understood what was going on. No wonder why the long unopened Formless Blade Mountain was being opened. This was the best time for sects to improve themselves and compete for places to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. If the Formless Blade Sect gets more places to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain and finds some prized treasure from within, it may just be catapulted straight from a flailing Earth sect to a Quasi-Heaven sect. Chapter 75: Pill Master Shis Panic Chapter 75: Pill Master Shi''s Panic Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Don''t think too much,¡± Fei Bingzhu patted Mo Wuji''s shoulders and pointed towards the discussing groups in the hall, ¡°Even those people can covet the opportunity from afar; the opening of the Formless Blade Mountain has nothing to do with them. This time, only pill refiners are allowed to enter the Formless Blade Mountain, and our pill refiners get the most benefits. Do you know why Pill Master Shi was so desperate to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill? The Channel Solidifying Pill is a Tier 3 pill, and successfully concocting it would make you a Tier 3 pill refiner. When the Formless Blade Mountain opens, only Tier 3 pill refiners have the qualifications to enter.¡± Mo Wuji finally understood why Shi Jun wanted to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill, and why he was so ecstatic when he succeeded. It seemed like that fella would be able to enter the Formless Blade Mountain. I looks like Mo Wuji had really helped him out ah. "Let me tell you ah, every Tier 3 pill refiner can each bring in one ingredient boy. Ai, now that Pill Master Shi succeeded in your pill lab, I wonder who will be the lucky guy he brings along," Fei Bingzhu said emotionally. He did not actually think that Mo Wuji could be selected. After all, Mo Wuji was a new service disciple the Formless Blade Sect and he would not be fancied by a Tier 3 pill refiner. Mo Wuji suddenly felt a tinge of regret. If he knew that following Shi Jun would give him the opportunity to enter the Formless Blade Sect, he definitely wouldn''t have rejected Shi Jun. Unfortunately, it was too late. Even if he went to find Shi Jun, he might not actually get to see Shi Jun. A Tier 3 pill refiner was a noble and high existence; how could a small ingredient boy casually get to meet him? Fei Bingzhu did not know what was in Mo Wuji''s mind as he said, "Our Formless Blade Sect''s most impressive pill refiner is Pill Master Yan; she''s a Tier 4 pill refiner and the only Earth Pill Refiner in our sect. Not only is Senior apprentice sister Yan an extremely young Earth Pill Refiner, she is an existence with a status as high as our Sect Head." What Senior apprentice sister Yan? Mo Wuji could only feel upset and vexed. Only after a long while, Mo Wuji put aside his unhappiness and asked Fei Bingzhu, "Senior apprentice brother Fei, do you know anywhere near our sect where I can find Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles?" "Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles?" Fei Bingzhu looked at Mo Wuji blankly. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, why do you ask that? That beast is hard to kill and its materials aren''t worth much. Furthermore, it lives in the sea, and our Formless Blade Sect is far from any seas. So it''s practically impossible to find Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles around." Mo Wuji could not help but feel disappointed. He was just about to inquire about any other places he could cultivate at but a hoarse voice cried out, "You kid... You actually hid here to chat. Hurry and fetch me my ingredients..." Mo Wuji turned to see Shi Jun rushing over. At his back, was the grey-haired and ugly Wu Kai. At this moment, the Hall of Affairs quietened down. With Pill Master Shi here, no one dared to speak any further. The ''Doggie'' Shi Jun who used the ''Doggie Paddle'' pill refining technique did not have a low position in the sect. As a Tier 3 pill refiner, he was one of the higher existences. Mo Wuji did not need to ask to know the reason why Shi Jun was here. Shi Jun probably failed in concocting the Channel Solidifying Pill again and wanted Mo Wuji to prepare ingredients again and make use his luck. However, he had already left Pharmacy 19, and Wu Kai found someone to take over his work, resulting in this predicament. Compared to the previous meeting, Shi Jun was dirtier and his hair was messier; his entire body was covered with medicinal dregs. He did not wait for Mo Wuji to come over. Instead, he directly raised his hand to grab Wu Kai. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Wait, Pill Master Shi. This matter has nothing to do with Deacon Wu, how about you let Deacon Wu go first." Even though Mo Wuji was leaving, Yan''Er was still staying by Blood Lotus Lake. In any case, he cannot afford to offend Wu Kai. Listening to Mo Wuji''s words, Shi Jun waved his hand towards Wu Kai, "Go. Since you helped me find this kid, I will not pursue this matter." Wu Kai hurried to express his gratitude before nodding towards Mo Wuji gratefully. Mo Wuji really wasn''t talking nonsense previously. Not only that, he was overly modest. Who knew that a service disciple like Mo Wuji could actually have such a high position in Pill Master Shi''s heart. With a simple sentence, Wu Kai was released. Previously, when he was carried away by Pill Master Shi, his entire soul was scared off. There was nothing wrong with finding a replacement for Mo Wuji, but even if it was right, Pill Master Shi could still kill him with a single slap without facing any responsibilities. Even worse, Pill Master Shi could remove his position as a deacon with a few simple words. When Wu Kai left, his determination was reinforced; he would definitely help Mo Wuji take care of Yan''Er. Mo Wuji had a promising future, so he needed to maintain good relations with Mo Wuji. To do that, he just needed to take care of Mo Wuji''s darling, that lady called Yan''Er. "Greetings Pill Master Shi. Is Pill Master Shi finding me just for the ingredients?" Mo Wuji waited for Wu Kai to leave before bowing and greeting. "Nonsense. You''re the Pharmacy 19 service disciple. Do you think I''m looking for ingredients or looking to catch up with you?" Shi Jun stared firmly. Mo Wuji said helplessly, "If that''s the case, may Pill Master Shi return to Pill Lab 19 first? I will come over with the ingredients." Mo Wuji needed to add the Water Velvet Vine into the ingredients, if not his ''Lucky Star'' nickname would not actually result in success. Shi Jun grabbed Mo Wuji''s arms, "There''s no need. Today, we will concoct the pill in the sect''s main hall. The sect head, elders and the other pill refiners would be there to observe. You will use the ingredients there instead." Shi Jun just wanted Mo Wuji to have his hands on the ingredients to take advantage of his luck. Mo Wuji lamented in his heart. He wanted Shi Jun to leave so that he can rub the Water Velvet Vine juice onto the Green Fire Fruit. If it was at the main hall, how could he help under the full view of everyone? Actually, he could also guess why Shi Jun wanted to concoct the pill at the main hall. He had just risen to a Tier 3 pill refiner. Naturally, he had to verify his abilities as a Tier 3 pill refiner in front of everyone. In actual fact, he never had the ability to be a Tier 3 pill refiner. As a result, this fella panicked and wanted to drag Mo Wuji over. Seeing Shi Jun dragging him away, Mo Wuji hurried to say, "Pill Master Shi, I''m really a lucky person who can increase people''s success rates. But after I help others, I need to take a shower and change my clothes. If not, it won''t work." "Why are you being so long-winded? Hurry up and bathe then," Shi Jun shouted. Mo Wuji calmly responded, "Pill Master Shi, pill concoction stresses importance on a peace of mind. Even you have my luck, something wrong might still happen. If Pill Master Shi trusts me, you should calm your mind and wait at the sect''s main hall. On the other hand, I will need to calm down and shower first before heading off to the main hall." When the jumpy Shi Jun heard the words ''peace of mind'', he forcefully suppressed his emotions and threw a jade slip to Mo Wuji, "Hurry." With that, he turned and left. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. The fella is finally gone. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, you''re really impressive! Now that you have obtained the favour of Pill Master Shi, you must not forget about this little brother here," In that short moment, Fei Bingzhu exchanged his seniority with Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji laughed and patted Fei Bingzhu, "Why would I do that. We are friends after all. Oh right, Brother Fei, I came to buy five stalks of Water Velvet Vine. I wanted to borrow Brother Fei''s contribution points. I will definitely return them in the future." Fei Bingzhu waved his hands exaggeratedly, "It''s just a few stalks of Water Velvet Vine, they aren''t worth many contribution points. You don''t need to return them to me. Senior apprentice brother Mo has such a bright future! Next time, please call me junior apprentice brother. I am willing to be your junior." As he spoke, Fei Bingzhu passed five Water Velvet Vine to Mo Wuji. "Thank you then. I need to rush to help Pill Master Shi. We can continue talking when I''m free." After Mo Wuji received the Water Velvet Vine, he rushed to bid his farewells to Fei Bingzhu. He had to rush to convert these vines into juice in the shortest time possible. That Pill Master Shi might just unexpectedly come and drag him away. Chapter 76: Character Defines Chapter 76: Character Defines Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The Formless Blade Sect Hall. This was the place where all sect meetings were held, and also the grandest hall in the whole Formless Blade Sect. Only those with certain status within the sect were granted permission to enter it. Mo Wuji had only gazed upon it from afar before, never setting foot within the hall itself. After he processed the five stalks of Water Velvet Vine into a juice, Mo Wuji rushed back as fast as possible. Fortunately Pill Master Shi¡¯s jade slip was useable, otherwise he would not have gotten anywhere close to the door of the hall. ¡°Service Disciple Mo Wuji pays his respects to all elders of the sect. ¡° Mo Wuji loudly roared out at the entrance to the hall. All who sat here were those elders with the greatest powers in the sect. Each of them were extremely strong immortal masters who were far more advanced in cultivation, hence he, a lowly service disciple, dared not show any form of disrespect. ¡°Sect head, Elders, this service disciple¡¯s name is Mo Wuji. He¡¯s my ingredient boy. The pills made from the ingredients that he fetched were exceptionally easy to refine.¡± The already frantic Shi Jun scrambled to report as he saw Mo Wuji approaching. A middle aged man sat at the highest position in the hall. His cheeks were slightly sunken, with a short beard on his chin, and he sat up completely straight in his seat, like a sharp blade that was barely concealed by its scabbard. Mo Wuji could guess that this was the Formless Blade Sect¡¯s sect head. Indeed, right after Shi Jun finished speaking, the middle aged man nodded his head and said, ¡°Since he is Pill Master Shi¡¯s ingredient boy and also a disciple of the Formless Blade Sect, please let him enter.¡± Mo Wuji noticed how mindful the sect head was when he was speaking; firstly, he did not address Mo Wuji as a service disciple, secondly, he used the word ¡°please¡± when giving Mo Wuji permission to enter. ¡°Thank you sect head.¡± Without waiting for Pill Master Shi to thank the sect head, Mo Wuji took the initiative and bowed respectfully. The various elders and pill masters were sizing Mo Wuji up, still suspicious of him. He barely looked even 20 years old. Also, for a service disciple entering such a solemn and grand sect hall, facing a large group of immortal masters, one would be expected to be rather tense, and overwhelmed by it all. How could there be someone like Mo Wuji, who would boldly strut into the hall, and calmly thank the sect head? However, for Mo Wuji, he had already got used to mingling with the heads of states during his past experiences at global pharmaceutical conferences of Earth. ¡°Wuji, come sit beside me.¡± Shi Jun gestured to Mo Wuji by patting the seat next to him. He could not even afford to put on airs around Mo Wuji, a mere service disciple. After all, beggars can¡¯t be choosers. Ever since he started to ask others to be his ingredient boy, not a single person took up his offer. So despite his status as a pill refiner, and Mo Wuji as a service disciple, he still had to depend greatly on Mo Wuji. ¡°Thank you Pill Master Shi.¡± Mo Wuji thanked Shi Jun respectfully, before going over to sit down beside him. Once seated, Mo Wuji whispered, ¡°Pill Master Shi, if the pill refining succeeds, I want to enter the Formless Blade Mountain too.¡± With a wave of his hand, Shi Jun replied, ¡°No problem. Every pill refiner that enters the Formless Blade Mountain can bring a ingredient boy with them. As long as you can help me successfully refine these pills, you will go in with me.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it quite illogical for a service disciple to sit with us here? His presence really degrades the dignity of our sect¡¯s great hall.¡± A booming voice with a tinge of anger suddenly rang out through the hall. Immediately turning around towards the source of the voice, Mo Wuji saw a young man. The youth was wearing a robe, exuding the aura of a master from every corner of his body. In his heart, Mo Wuji was rather unhappy. Who was this guy, and so what if I¡¯m sitting here? Why should I stand while everyone is sitting down? Although he had these thoughts, Mo Wuji knew that he was powerless to influence anything that happened here, and could only gaze at Shi Jun, hoping for him to make a move. If Shi Jun could not speak up either, he would just have to suck it up. With a light chuckle, Shi Jun replied, ¡°Pill Master Ju, since everyone is seated here, it wouldn¡¯t be very nice to let Wuji stand by himself.¡± To this, Pill Master Ju coldly answered, ¡°None of the pill masters that are gathered here today need the help of ingredient boys. Only, you brought an ingredient boy. Then again, Pill Master Shi¡¯s abilities are outstanding. What better way to stand out from the crowd than to bring an ingredient boy?¡± Even though Shi Jun knew that his position was not as high up as this robed youth, but upon hearing these words come out, he couldn¡¯t help but become furious. Although Mo Wuji felt dissatisfied inside too, he was not willing to implicate Shi Jun. He was about to stand up, and signal to Shi Jun to avoid arguing over such a small matter, when Pill Master Ju spoke coldly again, ¡°You puny little ingredient boy, how dare you sit here.¡± These words had the complete opposite effect than they were intended for, as Mo Wuji intentionally sat still, not budging a single inch. If he did not have to keep in mind that Yan¡¯Er was still with him, Mo Wuji would have given a sarcastic retort. So what if he was an ingredient boy? It was Pill Master Shi¡¯s instruction for him to sit down. He was Pill Master Shi¡¯s ingredient boy, not Pill Master Ju¡¯s. Pill Master Shi did not seem to be of a lower rank than him, what problem did this guy have, to bring up such a trivial issue? ¡°Mo Wuji, as an ingredient boy, how dare you just sit there as two pill masters are arguing?¡± The elder who was first from the left asked out of the blue, seemingly siding with Pill Master Ju. Mo Wuji knew that someone who sat at the first position on the left definitely was someone with a high rank, possibly the First Elder. When under the roof of another you can¡¯t afford not to defer to him, hence Mo Wuji stood up, bowed respectfully to the elder, and said, ¡°Elder, please understand, if I had stood up earlier, perhaps Pill Master Shi and Pill Master Ju would not have argued over my actions. But with sect head¡¯s guidance, I came to understand something, hence my inaction throughout the whole incident.¡± Sect head¡¯s guidance? Everyone turned to look at Gu Ran who sat at the top. As the Formless Blade Sect¡¯s sect head, Gu Ran had never taken in a disciple, so how could he have guided a service disciple? Equally confused, Gu Ran looked to Mo Wuji, unsure when he had taught Mo Wuji before. Mo Wuji calmly explained himself, ¡°In the eyes of experts, a lowly service disciple naturally has no status or position. This can be clearly seen when Pill Master Ju asked me to stand up. But when I entered the great hall, our sect head did not specially refer to me as a service disciple. Indeed in the eyes of our sect head, it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a formal, inner, outer, or service disciple. As long as he is part of the Formless Blade Sect, he would be considered Formless Blade Sect¡¯s disciple.¡± When Mo Wuji entered, the sect head really did not intentionally call Mo Wuji a service disciple, but no one would think that this small detail would be used by him as the sect head¡¯s personal guidance. Without waiting for a response, Mo Wuji continued, ¡°The sect head also used the word ¡°please¡± for a lowly disciple such as myself. In his eyes, everyone is equal.¡± ¡°So these are the lessons you learnt from our sect head?¡± The first elder from the left asked again. To this, Mo Wuji firmly answered, ¡°Yes, in our sect head¡¯s eyes, people have no rank or status, but are defined by their character. This is sect head¡¯s lesson to me.¡± ¡°Good. There are no high or low class people, only people with good or bad character. Thanks for the lesson.¡± The woman sitting first from the right gave Mo Wuji a standing ovation, obviously in agreement with what he had said. Only then did Mo Wuji notice this woman. She appeared rather young, definitely not more than a few years older than him. Her facial features were rather average too, possibly considered to be kind of ugly by some, but this young woman actually sat at a position close to the sect head. She likely held a high position within the sect. In reality, everyone could read the intention behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words, which was that the sect head was a person of good character, while Pill Master Ju was only as good as an average person. The sect head nodded his head in agreement, warmly telling Mo Wuji, ¡°Why don¡¯t you just sit down.¡± ¡°Thank you sect head.¡± Mo Wuji gave another word of thanks before sitting down for good. Shi Jun¡¯s impression of Mo Wuji improved further as he saw how Mo Wuji turned the situation around single handedly. He softly whispered to Mo Wuji, ¡°The person that just spoke up for you is the Formless Blade Sect¡¯s number one pill master, Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner Yan Qianyin. She¡¯s the leader of the team that¡¯s representing the Formless Blade Sect at the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition.¡± Mo Wuji had already heard from Fei Bingzhu that Pill Master Yan was an Earth Pill Master previously. However, he did not expect that her name to also have the word ¡°yin¡± in it. It reminded him of his experience with Xia Ruoyin. ¡°All right, since all the pill refiners are here, let¡¯s begin.¡± Gu Ran cut to the chase, without the intention of mulling on what Mo Wuji had said. As he finished his sentence, five gigantic pill furnaces were carried into the centre of the hall. Chapter 77: Blade Mountain Elimination Competition Chapter 77: Blade Mountain Elimination Competition Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Shi Jun said slightly nervously, "Wuji, ever since that time where you were by my side, I have never succeeded in concocting the Channel Solidifying Pill. Your luck must help me this time ah. If I cannot concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill, I''m finished." Shi Jun had a lot of trust in Mo Wuji. In the cultivation world, luck was not an illusory thing; some people were able to rise above others because they had greater luck. However, Mo Wuji did not understand how luck was involved. He was also a little nervous as he whispered to Shi Jun, "Pill Master Shi, I actually have another method, it''s called Lucky Contact. We just need a bucket of water. I will wash the ingredients with my hands, and that would help to spread the luck. Your success rate would definitely be at least two times more than usual." "No problem, I will get someone to bring a bucket of water." With that, Shi Jun muttered a few words to the disciples who were carrying in the pill furnace. Sure enough, the disciples brought in a bucket of water in less than a minute. "Pill Master Shi, what are you doing exactly?" someone immediately asked. Shi Jun replied calmly, "I intend to wash each of my ingredients to increase my success rate. Wuji, I will be concocting the pill soon, so I will leave this washing job to you." Seeing Shi Jun call Mo Wuji over to wash the ingredients, the people in the hall started to have an understanding on why Shi Jun wanted an ingredient boy in the first place. After all, this was a job for the ingredient boy and not the pill refiner. At the same time, they also didn''t question about washing the ingredients. Every pill refiner had their own methods, so there was nothing wrong with that. Shi Jun''s pill furnace was the second from the right while Pill Master Ju''s pill furnace was the third from the right; coincidentally, they were neighbours. When Mo Wuji saw that, he couldn''t help but curse his bad luck. The fact was, Shi Jun called Mo Wuji here so that Mo Wuji could help him. On the other hand, Mo Wuji had come here to observe how the other pill refiners concoct pills. The person Mo Wuji hoped to see the most was Yan Qianyin. After all, she was a Tier 4 pill refiner. As an Earth Pill Refiner, her methods must definitely be above the rest. Unfortunately, it wasn''t Yan Qianyin beside him. It was only after threee other pill refiners got into position that Mo Wuji discover that Yan Qianyin did not even come down at all. Mo Wuji quickly discovered the reason: As a Earth Pill Refiner, Yan QIanyin did not need to personally come down. "My Formless Blade Mountain has not been opened for a thousand years. To raise the capabilities of our pill refiners, we will be specially opening it. As the resources in the mountain are limited, only seven people are allowed in. Initially, our Formless Blade Sect only had four Tier 3 pill refiners and one Tier 4 pill refiner, who will not be participating in our sect''s internal pill concocting competition. The ones competing in this elimination competition are the five newly advanced Tier 3 pill refiners. Out of the five, only two can enter the Formless Blade Mountain. Everyone will have two tries to concoct a Tier 3 pill. Let the competition begin," Seeing the five pill refiners get into position, the sect head announced loudly. Mo Wuji only just discovered that only seven people can enter the Formless Blade. If you were to include the ingredient boys, there would only be 14 people entering. Previously, when he saw the crowds discussing in the Hall of Affairs, he thought that many people could enter the mountain. Shi Jun promised him a chance to enter the Formless Blade Mountain if the pill concoction succeeded. In light of the numbers, this was really a huge favour. Mo Wuji noticed that all the pill refiners had a red firestone underneath their pull furnaces. A huge flame burned below the furnace, and this red firestone seemed to be able to adjust the strength of the fire. Shi Jun also ignited the flame as he prepared to clean his furnace. Mo Wuji started immersing the ingredients into the bucket of water, washing each and everyone of them. Only the Green Fire Fruit wasn''t added to the water. Instead, it was coated with the Water Velvet Vine juice which he kept in his sleeves. After washing two batches of ingredients, Mo Wuji left them to the side to dry. At the same time, Shi Jun had also finished cleaning his furnace, and was starting to concoct the Channel Solidifying Pill. Mo Wuji had seen Shi Jun concoct pills before, and in all honesty, it wasn''t really nice to look at. His eyes then landed on Pill Master Ju and he discovered that this Ju fella was the most capable one among the five competitors. Mo Wuji wasn''t clear what pill Pill Master Ju was concocting. However, his techniques were more natural than Shi Jun, and his actions were far more elegant. Mo Wuji discovered that this Ju fella did not use any spatula whatsoever. He solely used the pill furnace to refine the ingredients within. Towards the end, Pill Master Ju even inserted his hand into the hot and steaming pill furnace to move the ingredients. His hand did not even look like it was affected by the heat. With this, Mo Wuji was sure that Pill Master Ju was better than the other four, and his methods were far superior to Shi Jun¡¯s ''Doggie Paddle''. Not even an hour passed before Mo Wuji heard a loud ''Bang!''. He saw that the pill refiner who was first from the left had a face covered with ash and grime. Ostensibly, he failed in his concoction, and his pill furnace exploded. At this moment, Mo Wuji heard another ''Bang!''. A wave of hot air rushed towards him, causing him to subconsciously take a few steps back. When he regained his bearings, he discovered that it was Shi Jun''s furnace which exploded. It looked like this Pill Master Shi''s mentality was not focused; he was affected by the failure of the other pill refiner. Seeing Shi Jun''s dispirited expression, Mo Wuji hurried to say, "Pill Master Shi, you still have one batch of ingredients, there''s still an opportunity to succeed. Think about it, if not for that other guy''s failure affecting you, you would definitely have succeeded. Furthermore, no one would have a 100% success rate when concocting pills." Listening to Mo Wuji''s words, Shi Jun''s spirit was lifted. That''s right! Which pill refiner would have a 100% success rate? Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he saw Shi Jun regain his spirits. Shi Jun''s success or failure would affect his chances to enter the Formless Blade Mountain. If he could enter the Formless Blade Mountain, he could obtain large amounts of spiritual ingredients to practice purification. That would help him to advance to the next milestone in pill refining. He was a mere service disciple. It was almost impossible for him to obtain large amounts of spiritual ingredients to practise purification. His future success would be tied onto Shi Jun. If Shi Jun succeeded, he would have a chance of succeeding in the future. When Shi Jun started on his second batch of Channel Solidifying Pills, Mo Wuji noticed that Pill Master Ju had already finished purifying the ingredients, and was expelling the medicinal dregs. Just now, there were two consecutive explosions. Furthermore, Shi Jun''s explosion was right beside Pill Master Ju. However, he did not seem to be a half bit affected and continued with his work. Even if his concoction ends up failing, Mo Wuji could not help but be impressed with him. Another half an hour passed. Shi Jun had finished purifying his ingredients while Pill Master Ju''s pill furnace was emitting a faint pill aroma. Mo Wuji signed in his heart; Pill Master Ju was indeed capable. Unless Mo Wuji hurls the bucket of water at his pill furnace, Pill Master Ju''s first batch of pills was definitely going to succeed. One of the two places was definitely his. Shi Jun could only fight for the last place with the other three pill refiners. Fortunately, the other three pill refiners had all failed in their first batch of ingredients. This time around, Shi Jun wasn''t affected by the other two''s pill explosion. At this moment, Shi Jun had already expelled the medicinal dregs and fused the medicinal essences. He was starting to condense the pill itself. Just as Mo Wuji was retracting his gaze from Pill Master Ju, he felt a pair of eyes landing on him. He subconsciously lifted his head up to see the Tier 4 pill refiner, Yan Qianyin, staring at him. When their eyes met, she even nodded at Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji wasn''t worried. He had borrowed the wooden bucket to coat the Water Velvet Vine juice onto the Green Fire Fruit. He was sure that no one else saw what he was doing. At this moment, a strong pill aroma wafted over. Mo Wuji turned to look at Pill Master Ju. Sure enough, he was extracting a few pills from his furnace, directly sending them into a prepared jade vase. This fella was really the first to finishing concocting a batch of pills. Even though Mo Wuji was dissatisfied, there was nothing much he could do. He could only focus on Shi Jun and pray that his current batch must not fail. Chapter 78: The Story Changes Chapter 78: The Story Changes Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Bang!¡± Another explosion during the pill condensing step occurred, which made Mo Wuji jump up in shock. Thankfully it wasn¡¯t Shi Jun¡¯s pills that exploded this time, but the guy who was seated first from the left previously. With the two consecutive failures, he was disqualified. At this rate, it seemed as though the only one who was not half assed was Pill Master Ju, who he did not get along with. Most probably, they were trying very hard to mimic a Tier 3 pill refiner in order to gain entry to the Formless Blade Mountain. But now their ruse was seen through when placed in front of a pill furnace and asked to refine Tier 3 pills. Shi Jun¡¯s second attempt at refining carried on smoothly even as explosions from other¡¯s failures rang out one by one around him. Could it be that Mo Wuji¡¯s words helped? Another half an hour passed, and Shi Jun began the condensing process just as the fragrance of pills wafted out of his furnace. At this moment, another person¡¯s pills blew up in his face, leaving only one other pill refiner.. The outline, followed by the solid shape of reddish-green pills slowly formed within the blazing furnace. Minutes later, Shi Jun slapped both hands on the pill furnace, causing six pills to fly out of it and into the jade vase that was waiting in place. Once Shi Jun succeeded in creating his pills, the last pill refiner got affected by the commotion, and could only resign to failure. Out of the five pill refiners that started out, only Pill Master Ju and Shi Jun managed to successfully refine their pills. Without any further evaluation, the results of the selections were clear. ¡°Pill Master Ju and Pill Master Shi are hereby promoted to Tier 3 Mortal Pill Master, congratulations.¡± The elder at the top left corner was the first to give a standing ovation. The sect head followed suit, revealing a big smile on his face while clapping for them, ¡°with Pill Master Ju and Pill Master Shi, the Formless Blade Sect will definitely get a better placing in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition.¡± After completing this sentence, Gu Ran¡¯s smile disappeared and he took a more serious tone, ¡°The people present today are the foundations of our Formless Blade Sect: Our 10 elders and our pill refiners. The Formless Blade Mountain of our sect has not been opened before in a thousand years. Talking about it, perhaps our Formless Blade Mountain may not have spiritual herbs as valuable as those found in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. We definitely do not have any top tier treasures that can help one cross into the Heaven Realm. But out of all the secret dimensions of the sects in the five great empires, our Formless Blade Mountain is undoubtedly one of the top ranking secret dimensions. When we open the largely untouched Formless Blade Mountain, I hope that the seven pill refiners will treasure this opportunity. Do not to waste a single stalk of spiritual herb, and raise your pill refining ability as much as possible. This is all so that we may obtain a better placing in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition.¡± ¡°Don''t worry sect head, we will live up to your expectations¡± Mo Wuji observed Shi Jun, Pill Master Ju, and the rest of the six Tier 3 pill refiners standing up and bowing respectfully. Yan Qianyin did not move upon hearing this statement, so Mu Wuji knew that these six pill refiners were simply bragging. Although other people could not see through his ruse, but Mo Wuji completely understood the abilities of Pill Master Shi. Even though he had never seen how good the other sects¡¯ pill refiners that were taking part in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition, it was pretty clear that someone of Pill Master Shi¡¯s level would not be able to get any significant position. Pill Master Ju might be more capable than Shi Jun, but Mo Wuji still did not think he amounted to much. Rather, it was the Tier 4 Earth Pill Master Yan Qianyin, did not speak nor make any movements, who Mo Wuji had his eyes on, . ¡°Good, now I officially declare the Formless Blade Mountain open, every pill refiner who enters is allowed to bring one ingredient boy with him. The Formless Blade Mountain will remain open for a duration of one month, after which, it will close again. All elders and the pill refiners entering the Formless Blade Mountain, please follow me.¡± Gu Ran cut to the chase, and rose right after speaking. Since the time Mo Wuji joined the Formless Blade Sect, his activities were restricted to the most outer circle. If it were not for Shi Jun¡¯s help, the deepest he would be able to delve into the sect would only be the Hall of Affairs. At the moment, he followed behind the sect head and the elders into the deepest regions of the Formless Blade Sect. Only then did he realise how enormous the Formless Blade Sect was. Chain after chain of blades stretched on for kilometres, leaving one thinking just how many experts passed through this place in the past. At the centre of the blades, there was a round pavilion with a hilt-less and scabbard-less blade floating right at the top. Who knew how long this blade had been there for? As Mo Wuji curiously gazed towards it, he could still feel a chill run down his spine. Tiny figures and words describing sword styles littered the exterior of the pavilion, seemingly random, but also seemingly having a certain order. An old one-armed man held a broom in hand, sweeping the grounds before the pavilion. Gu Ran gave him a small bow as he passed by the pavilion, leading the rest of the group into the circular structure. On the other hand, Mo Wuji took a second look at this old one-armed arm thinking. Was this the sweeping monk of the legends? No, it should be the sweeping old man. Soon after Mo Wuji took his first step into the round pavilion, he laid eyes on the circular altar at the centre. Mysterious symbols covered the entirety of the altar, and beside it were many potholes. Other than that, there was nothing else in the pavilion. ¡°The thirteen going to the Formless Blade Mountain, please proceed into the Formless Blade Mountain Transfer Formation.¡± Formless Blade Sect Head Gu Ran¡¯s words echoed out as he pointed at the altar. So this was the legendary transfer formation. Mo Wuji had heard that immortal masters could set up various types of formations, and the transfer formation was one of them. Even though Yan Qianyin was the most qualified to have a ingredient boy help her carry stuff, she was the only one who did not bring one along. This piqued Mo Wuji¡¯s interest. How would she refine pills without a pill furnace? Like the other ingredient boys, a large furnace was carefully balanced on the back of Mo Wuji as he stood behind Shi Jun. There was no helping it, as an ingredient boy, he would have to do this sort of manual labor for pill refiners. Otherwise, going into the Formless Blade Mountain would just be a dream. Once all thirteen people stepped onto the transfer formation, Gu Ran threw a handful of shiny transparent jade rocks. A dazzling white glow erupted as the jade rocks accurately fell into the potholes, causing everyone to look away for a moment. This was definitely not normal jade rocks, but the spirit stones that he had heard of before. As much as Mo Wuji tried to catch a glimpse of the appearance of spirit stones, his line of sight was blocked by the white light. He was unable to see anything, but could still feel the rich and dense spiritual energy that resided in those rocks. A sense of giddiness overcame him, making Mo Wuji wonder if this was the teleportation part of the transfer process. It felt as though his surroundings were shaking violently, like he was about to get torn apart. ¡°RIIIPPPP¡­¡± Following that sound, bursts of blood stench bombs exploded all over him. Mo Wuji was in shock. Although he could not see anythin, he knew that some people were really torn apart by the energy released by space-time fluctuations. Could one transfer be so scary, to the extent that people have to give up their lives? ¡°Everyone take note, something¡¯s wrong with the transfer. Once you¡¯ve reached the Formless Blade Mountain, don¡¯t roam around recklessly, try to gather as a group first¡­¡± Yan Qianyin¡¯s voice made it in the nick of time, but only half of the message reached Mo Wuji before her voice faded away. Another wave of searing pain hit him, and Mo Wuji could clearly feel and hear his bones breaking. Just as he thought that he would end up like the few other unlucky buggers, to be torn up by the energy of space-time fluctuations, he landed on the ground with a heavy thud. It took a good 10 over minutes of resting before Mo Wuji slowly struggled his way up. Pain invaded every crevice of his body, and his bones had cracked under the stress of the space-time energy. What¡¯s more scary was that there was not a single person around him. Indeed as what Yan Qianyin had said, some issue had arose with the transfer formation. The stench of blood that he had smelt before must have been the few other ingredient boys being ripped apart. He managed to survive as he was not an ordinary ingredient boy. Not only was he a Channel Opening Level 2 cultivator, but after enduring countless strikes of lightning, his body¡¯s durability became much greater than those around the same level of cultivation as him. Gritting his teeth, Mo Wuji fought the pain throughout his body to stand up, before taking in a breath of cold air. According to Gu Ran, Formless Blade Mountain should have spiritual herbs aplenty; fields of different colours stretching out beyond one¡¯s field of vision like a utopia for pill refiners. But now what lay before him was a barren wasteland of crumbling rocks and dried, cracked soil. Where were the spiritual herbs? Where were the grass? Mo Wuji could not believe that the Formless Blade Sect¡¯s Leader would lie about such a thing. With such a great discrepancy, it must have meant that something had happened back at the sect. Connecting this with the problem in the transfer formation, he was even more sure that the story was not as simple as it seemed. Chapter 79: Advancement: Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner Chapter 79: Advancement: Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After resting for half an hour, Mo Wuji felt a lot better as stood up to find a safer place to rest and make sense of the situation. Mo Wuji struggled to carry the pill furnace, trekking for less than one kilometre. That was when he saw a dead corpse. He recognised that corpse; it belonged to one of the seven pill refiners. Theoretically, Tier 3 pill refiners were cultivators who had already advanced past the Channel Opening Stage. When Mo Wuji encountered this pill refiner¡¯s corpse, he really thanked his lucky stars. It was really a stroke of luck that he managed to survive the failure during the transfer. Mo Wuji started to search the pill refiner¡¯s body and collected all the useful items; he even found some spirit stones. These stones rich in spiritual energy were items Mo Wuji only dreamed of obtaining. However, he really couldn''t lift his spirits even as he kept the stones. He also found some healing pills which he ate to recover himself. After thoroughly searching the pill refiner''s body, Mo Wuji dug a pit and buried the pill refiner. A Tier 3 pill refiner was an illustrious existence in the mortal world. However, one of them just died silently in some unknown place. This fragility and vulnerability of life really struck Mo Wuji. After consuming the pills, Mo Wuji felt the cracks in his bones healing rapidly. He could not help but sigh in his heart; the pills concocted by pill refiners were really heaven defying even when compared to a modern drug like penicillin. Even though penicillin was impressive, it still required time for recovery. However, the effects of these pills were immediate. If anyone were to tell Mo Wuji that the effects of Western medicine are faster than Chinese medicine, Mo Wuji would definitely spit on his face. These pills are concocted with herbs. Even though they did not originate from China, Mo Wuji still considered them Chinese medicine. Afterwards, Mo Wuji no longer saw anyone, not even an ant. Two more days passed and Mo Wuji''s injuries gradually recovered. Just when Mo Wuji was thinking that this was the end and that there was no more hope, he saw an abundance of green in the distance. He literally dashed over, ignoring the weight of the heavy pill furnace. Ten minutes later, Mo Wuji was standing in a lush green valley. Gu Ran was right, this place was filled with spiritual herbs! In his study of pill refining, Mo Wuji read up on the introductions of many spiritual herbs, and knew a thing or two about a myriad of spiritual herbs. However, he was unable to even name a single one of the herbs here. The vibrancy and variety of herbs satisfied and excited him. Not bad¡­ It''s extremely vibrant and fresh here. As Mo Wuji was thinking of the three words ''vibrant and fresh¡¯, he was reminded of the place he just came from. If this place was described as ¡®vibrant and fresh¡¯, then that would definitely be ¡®barren and death¡¯. It''s the same mountain, but why were there places abundant with spiritual herbs but also places where not even a single weed can grow? As he started thinking, Mo Wuji realised that something wasn''t right; these two worlds were too different. As he observed further, Mo Wuji could see that the spiritual herbs at the borders seemed to be withering. In that instant, Mo Wuji finally made sense of the situation: the loom of death from where he came from did not spread over yet. However, in time, this lush valley would also cease to exist. Even though Mo Wuji did not want the Formless Blade Mountain to turn into a barren land, he did not know what to do. He was a mere service disciple, he did not have any means of stopping this. Furthermore, he did not even know whether he would survive this situation. With so many spiritual herbs, he needed to collect all of them before finding some place where he could try his hand at purifying. Large patches of spiritual herbs were collected by Mo Wuji. It was only until the evening when Mo Wuji¡¯s back finally gave up. That was when he found a natural cave in the valley and rested inside. After resting for a night, Mo Wuji retrieved the firestone he found on that pill refiner''s body and installed it under the furnace. He was going to practice purifying. Even though he was surrounded by spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji remained careful during the purification. He knew that spiritual herbs were extremely valuable; if not for this journey to the blade mountain, he would never have had the chance to have a whole valley of herbs for him to practice purification on. The days passed; Mo Wuji cherished this opportunity and made use of the days to purify different spiritual herbs. Initially, his purification resulted in failures. However, by the end of three days, he could retain 80% of the herbal essence. After another eight days, this number increased to 90%. Afterwards, he no longer saw any improvements. It was simply too hard to exceed 90%. Mo Wuji purified the spiritual herbs following the methods from the wordless pill manual. He was cognizant that he was unable to progress any further due to the limits of his cultivation level, and not due to some unforeseen reasons. As long as his cultivation advances, he would be able to improve his purification of spiritual herbs. Being able to purify 90% of the essence, Mo Wuji was already much better than that Pill Master Shi. From Mo Wuji''s observations, that Shi Jun could only purify 60 to 70%. When he was spectating Shi Jun''s pill concocting, the medicinal dregs he expelled contained far too much of the herbal essence. It was simply a waste. Not only was it a waste, a higher purity would also make the pill condensation process easier and the pill concocted would also be of higher quality For Shi Jun, if his purification methods did not improve, he would find it hard to improve on his pill refining. Mo Wuji knew that it would be a long and arduous process to improve on his purification. Thus, he no longer practised his purification but started learning pill refining as he practised cultivation. The spiritual energy here was rich, and he did not need to worry about people discovering the mad absorption of spiritual energy. Mo Wuji finally could be unrestrained and cultivated as he wished. The pill refining methods illustrated on this manual were completely different from Shi Jun''s methods. This manual emphasized on the pill and hand techniques. There were different kinds of hand techniques; from the cleaning of the pill furnace to the pill condensation to the final pill collection. Furthermore, the manual taught that the pill and hand techniques were not fixed and unchanging, but they changed and adapted according to the characteristics of the spiritual herbs. This required much of the pill refiner. Some pill refiners were unable to adapt and could only use mechanical methods. When Mo Wuji was researching on the various ingredients, he became aware of this fact. Anything that wasn''t flexible and adaptable would only be doomed to deteriorate. This was true for many ancient Chinese civilizations. How many of them got lost in the visages of time? This was primarily because they were too fixed in their ways. When a master passes down knowledge onto his disciple, even if the master didn''t hide anything, it would be difficult for the disciple to surpass the master. There would definitely be some lost knowledge. When this disciple passes on to his own disciple, more would be lost. Green originated from blue and is superior to blue; this phrase only applied to a few people. Furthermore, majority of masters do not reveal everything to their disciples. Even the best of things would ultimately end up as part of history if it continued to degrade in this manner. Mo Wuji knew how precious this opportunity was. Even though he didn''t know how he was going to get out a month later, he did not have the time to worry about it. Since the sect head said one month, then it should not be wrong. Once he leaves, he would not have such a fertile and abundant cultivation environment, nor would he find such a blessed place for pill refining. Even at the expense of sleep, Mo Wuji spent his days crazily refining pills or madly cultivating. The moment he was tired of pill refining, he would immediately start on cultivation. During cultivation, he was constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the heaven and earth. This allowed him to only require minimal sleep just to maintain his vigor. There weren¡¯t many pill formulas on the pill manual, but each of the pills were easy to condense. The formulas were extremely suitable for learning pill refining and incredibly useful for low leveled cultivators. On the 20th day, Mo Wuji successfully concocted a batch of Tier 1 Energy Gathering Pill. This pill was for Channel Opening Stage cultivators and its effects were better than the Energy Condensing Pill. On the 21th day, Mo Wuji was successful with a batch of Tier 1 Vitality Replenishing Pills. This pill allowed cultivators to replenish their vigor and vitality and was extremely useful to Mo Wuji right now. As Mo Wuji wildly cultivated and practised pill refining, he seemed to forget the flow of time. He continued to go through this cycle until all his meridians simultaneously trembled. A strong surge of energy poured down from the top of his head and permeated into his entire body. His spirit cleared and this feeling awoke Mo Wuji from his crazed state. Unknowingly, he stepped into Channel Opening Stage Level 3. Ever since he started cultivating, in less than 2 months, he advanced from a mere mortal to a Channel Opening Stage Level 3 cultivator. What made him even more contented was that the time he spent on cultivation itself was little, especially since he was also practising pill refining. Today, he was also truly a true Tier 1 Mortal pill refiner. Using the wordless pill manual and the resources from the Formless Blade Mountain, he took a month to enter a stage which many would never touch in their entire lives. Unfortunately, no matter what he did, Mo Wuji was not able to concoct Tier 2 pills. Chapter 80: The Devastated Yan Qianyin Chapter 80: The Devastated Yan Qianyin Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji calculated; from the time he entered the Formless Blade Mountain, if it was not a month, it was not far from it. It might even have already exceeded a month; there might have been some problems with the transfer formation and he could not be transferred out. In this month, he did not move out from the valley. The spiritual herbs in the valley have practically been plucked dry. He had already concocted one to two hundred Energy Gathering Pill and Vitality Replenishing Pill. However, he was worried that once he goes out, his pills might be snatched away. Having his pills snatched away was a small matter. What''s worse was if the experts from the Formless Blade Sect questioned him about the origins of his pills. What would he say then? He concocted them himself? Would he be able to keep his wordless pill manual? Mo Wuji¡¯s origins was too simple to investigate; the Formless Blade Sect could even casually send a few people to investigate and they could easily find out how many times he visited the toilet. What if they discover that he didn''t have the chance to learn pill refining, or that he even bought some drug refining equipment in Chang Luo. They would definitely ask: Who taught him to concoct pills? It would be impossible to hide the existence of the wordless pill manual. However, he was also unwilling to leave these pills behind. After all, these were the efforts of tireless days and nights. As Mo Wuji was deep in contemplation, he saw an old person with a head full of white hair staggering over. No, that''s not right. Mo Wuji soon discovered that this white haired person wasn''t an old person but a lady with a graceful figure. As she lifted her head, Mo Wuji was able to recognize her. She was Yan Qianyin, the Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner who entered the Formless Blade Mountain with him. A month ago, when they were being transferred to the Formless Blade Mountain, Yan Qianyin still had a head full of black hair. A month did not even pass and her hair was entirely bleached. If not for her face and figure, Mo Wuji would not have been able to recognize her. How exactly did she age so much over this short period of time, yet her face remained unchanged? When Yan Qianyin saw Mo Wuji, her body gave in and she collapsed. Mo Wuji did not think about anything else as he rushed forward to pick Yan Qianyin up. He found that Yan Qianyin''s skin was all shriveled up, dearth of blood energy. It was as though she had spent tens of years here and her longevity was running out. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to retrieve the pills he concocted and put some Vitality Replenishing Pills and Smooth Blood Pills in her mouth. The Smooth Blood Pill was also a Tier 1 pill. Mo Wuji concocted it for Yan¡¯Er to use. Due to her poor nutrition, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s body had very poor foundations. The Smooth Blood Pill was filled with spiritual ingredients which were nourishing and nutritious; it was very suitable for Yan''Er to use. As the pills entered Yan Qianyin''s mouth, there was no change on her face but there seemed to be some blood flowing through her shriveled skin. Mo Wuji hastily put Yan Qianyin on his back and brought her into his cave. Yan Qianyin was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner with an impressive cultivation. Even with this level of cultivation, she was almost robbed of her life. His cultivation wasn''t even worth looking at. Mo Wuji had a good impression of Yan Qianyin. Not only was her pill refining standards the best in the sect, she also helped him when Pill Master Ju was bent against him. Mo Wuji placed Yan Qianyin on the stone bed which he usually used; she simply lay there unmoving and with her eyes closed. However, Mo Wuji knew that his Smooth Blood Pill and Vitality Replenishing Pill were working and that she was gradually recovering. Her aura was richer and her blood energy became stronger. Looking at the gradually recovering Yan Qianyin, Mo Wuji was reminded of the barren land which he passed. At the border between life and death, the plants were gradually withering. Didn''t this Yan Qianyin look like she was also withering as she instantly grew older? Thinking about this, Mo Wuji felt goosebumps all over his body. Besides stealing this life force from the herbs and the land, this place was also robbing the life force of cultivators? ¡°Thanks for saving me,¡± Yan Qianyin¡¯s voice sounded out weakly, interrupting Mo Wuji''s wild imagination. Mo Wuji hastily said, ¡°Luckily I met you. What happened?¡± Yan Qianyin did not immediately answer Mo Wuji. Her hand lightly slapped her waist and a jade vase appeared in her hand. She opened the jade vase, took out a pill and put it into her mouth. Mo Wuji looked at Yan Qianyin in shock; was this magic? Yan Qianyin''s waist clearly did not have any pocket, how did she take out a jade vase? No, there is a small cloth bag, but that cloth bag is a little too small right¡­ He quickly dismissed his misunderstanding and looked at Yan Qianyin in greater shock. She merely ingested one pill but Yan Qianyin''s skin moisturised in an instant, and her white hair slowly turned black. Mo Wuji inhaled deeply; he might have invented the channel opening solution, but he had never thought of such a magical pill. Could this be a pill which renews youth? He also administered the Smooth Blood Pill and Vitality Replenishing Pill, but those only served to improve her complexion and help her blood flow. How could they have as astounding effects as Yan Qianyin''s pill? In less than half an incense¡¯s time, Yan Qianyin regained her original appearance. She took in a deep breath and sat upright. Looking at Mo Wuji''s looking of astonishment, Yan Qianyin took the initiative to explain, ¡°I just took a Tier 7 Heaven Pill, the Elementary Life Pill.¡± ¡°Heaven Pill? Wouldn''t you need a Heavenly Pill Refiner to concoct it? Xing Han Empire has a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill Refiner?¡± Mo Wuji reacted in shock. Previously, Shen Lian had told him that weren''t any Heavenly Pill Refiners in all five empires. Yan Qianyin shook her head, ¡°My master gave me this pill¡­¡± ¡°Your master is a Heavenly Pill Refiner?¡± Mo Wuji asked reverently, he now knew how impressive a Heavenly Pill Refiner was. ¡°No, my master is a Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner. This pill wasn''t concocted by my master but my grandmaster. After I advanced to a Tier 3 pill refiner, my master left me to find my grandmaster. My grandmaster is not within the five empires¡­¡± Yan Qianyin seemed to recall her master and an expression of longing could be seen in her eyes. Mo Wuji knew that there was more beyond the five empires, ¡°Pill Master Yan, don''t tell me your master entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain? Isn''t the Five Elements Desolate Domain uncrossable?¡± Yan Qianyin faintly looked at Mo Wuji, ¡°No one actually saw that the Five Elements Desolate Domain is uncrossable. In reality, many experts did not fail within the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Where do you think they went?¡± With that, Yan Qianyin seemed unwilling to dwell on that topic further, and she asked, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, you are a service disciple who has never cultivated. After meeting with the problem during the transfer, how did you safely end up here? And even survive for close to a month?¡± As she was speaking, her eyes were on the pill furnace by the side. Yan Qianyin was Formless Blade Sect''s first Earth Pill Refiner; she was giving Mo Wuji a lot of face by addressing him as her junior apprentice brother. Mo Wuji chuckled, ¡°I''m not someone who has never cultivated. My spiritual roots might be bad and I need to cultivate for a very long period of time but my physique is not bad. After the transfer formation met with a problem, my luck was better as my body only suffered a few injuries and I did not meet with any life-threatening dangers.¡± Yan Qianyin did not answer immediately but looked at Mo Wuji for a good while before speaking, ¡°I''m sure this is not merely due to luck. It''s also because your understanding towards ingredients and pills is superior to Shi Jun, right?¡± Mo Wuji immediately overruled her words, ¡°I can''t live up to Pill Master Yan''s words. Because of my work at the pharmacy, I have a shallow understanding towards ingredients. Moreover, I''m a jack of all trades, master of none. How can I compare to Shi Jun? I''m far too inferior.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± The corner of Yan Qianyin''s lips arced into a smile, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, you don''t have to be so worried. If I wanted to expose you, I could have done so back at the main hall. When you coated the Green Fire Fruit with Water Velvet Vine juice, I could have leaked your secret, I didn''t need to wait till now.¡± Mo Wuji''s mouth gaped wide, and he stumbled awkwardly, ¡°You saw everything?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Yan Qianyin laughed gently. ¡°To be honest, I didn''t see anything; I smelt it.¡± Chapter 81: Let’s Try Our Luck Chapter 81: Let¡¯s Try Our Luck Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji thought to himself, how sensitive was this woman¡¯s nose? ¡°The pills you just fed me were refined by you, weren¡¯t they? Since you are a pill refiner, why did you become a service disciple? If you wanted to hide your abilities and be a service disciple, why did you help Pill Master Shi?¡± Yan Qianyin rattled on with questions directed at Mo Wuji. It was not unusual for him to think of adding Water Velvet Vine into the Energy Condensing Pill to reduce the level of difficulty of refining it and increase the chances of success. This was because there were a few different pill recipes for refining Energy Condensing Pill, and one of them indeed used Water Velvet Vine. The pill made from this method had a slightly milder effect, but the refining process would become much simpler. Perhaps Mo Wuji had seen this pill recipe before, but Shi Jun had not. As for what Mo Wuji wanted to obtain from Shi Jun by setting up this ruse, Yan Qianyin did not care. Not giving up the pill recipes one had, and to use any methods possible to obtain other benefits. This was completely normal. But since Mo Wuji could refine pills by himself, it can¡¯t be that he found a different pill recipe for the Energy Condensing Pill. Instead, this showed that Mo Wuji had learnt pill refining before. If he had learnt pill refining, and could refine pills successfully, there was no reason for him to hide in the Formless Blade Sect as a service disciple. Mo Wuji began to develop a headache, doubting if he should have rescued Yan Qianyin in the first place. No one knew the story of the farmer and the snake better than him [1]. Yan Qianyin can¡¯t be a snake right? At this point, Mo Wuji boldly replied, ¡°My pill refining skills were passed down through the generations in my clan. My clan was once the clan of a prefecture lord. But when the position of prefecture lord was snatched away, my family¡¯s status soon degraded to nothing. Even though I had learnt much about pill refining, but I never got the chance to prove myself, hence I wanted to use the opportunity of entering the Formless Blade Mountain with Pill Master Shi, to practice my skills and prove that they are legit.¡± To say this much, Mo Wuji had to consider many factors. Firstly, in the clan of a prefecture lord, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible for him to learn pill refining. Secondly, any traces of the Mo Clan had essentially been wiped out by then, so even if she wanted to check on his background, nothing would likely come up. However, Mo Wuji did not know that his grandfather was indeed a pill refiner, otherwise, he would not be so afraid. Facing Yan Qianyin¡¯s questioning, he would just tell her that his grandfather was a pill refiner, and that he learnt his skills from him. As for the fact that his grandfather, Mo Tiancheng, leaving before he was born, who cared about that? Couldn¡¯t there be an ancestral pill manual that was passed down? Yan Qianyin asked in shock, ¡°So you¡¯re saying that you only learnt pill refining theory previously, and upon seeing all these spiritual herbs here, you tried your hand at pill refining, succeeding to refine a Tier 1 Mortal Pill in a month?¡± It wasn¡¯t that Yan Qianyin did not believe what Mo Wuji just said, but it was simply preposterous. Even for a genius with years of research into various theoretical aspects of pill refining, it would be hard to refine a Tier 1 Mortal Pill within a month. There were few pill refiners in the world precisely because a large amount of talent and repeated practice over and over again. This was also why it¡¯s difficult to train a pill refiner. First, you would not know if you had the talent. Then you would also require large amounts of spiritual herbs. Lastly, you would require the guidance of a master. It was hard to achieve any one of the above conditions. Moreover, the Tier 1 Mortal Pill that Mo Wuji refined was of high quality, a bit more and he would be able to make Tier 2 Mortal Pills. After hearing Yan Qianyin¡¯s words, he suddenly remembered that he had pill techniques and hand techniques. He owed his rapid success not only to the detailed analysis of various herbs¡¯ characteristics in the wordless pill manual, but also to the pill and hand techniques. On top of that, there was his experience as a top notch drug refiner. While drug refining was comparatively easier than pill refining, but normal herbs instead of spiritual ingredients were used. Drug refiners were ordinary people who did not cultivate too, hence they were unable to use any spiritual energy to help them. On the other hand, pill refining largely used spiritual ingredients, and worked on the principle of preserving the unique properties of these ingredients. For non-cultivators, it was almost an impossible task. But for experts who cultivate, there was little difference in executing this process as compared to drug refiners refining normal herbs. ¡°The situation is really as such, and before I actually started to refine pills, I studied pill refining theory for over 10 years.¡± Mo Wuji could keep this under wraps no long, as his true background and abilities could really be uncovered. As long as he did not reveal the existence of the wordless pill manual, he would not be affected much. ¡°Wow, you¡¯re very talented in pill refining. For someone as talented as yourself, if you can become a pill refiner of our sect and obtain even more resources for pill refining, your future achievements will definitely be off the charts¡­¡± Yan Qianyin suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence. She thought of an obstacle that Mo Wuji would have great difficulty overcoming in the future: his poor quality spirit roots. According to Mo Wuji, he had low grade spirit roots. Other than talent in pill refining, one¡¯s talent in cultivation was equally important for a pill refiner. As the tier of the pills being refined increases, the demands towards the pill refiner¡¯s cultivation increases commensurately. If a pill refiner¡¯s cultivation is too low, it would be difficult for him to refine higher tier pills. However, Mo Wuji never thought that his talent for cultivation was a problem, as his rate of cultivation was simply too fast. The thing that was on his mind was Yan Qianyin¡¯s words. If he really joined the sect and became their pill master, he would gain access to the library. Who knew, maybe he would get the chance to join the lessons of the Sect Technique Master. At this point, Mo Wuji quickly replied, ¡°If I can become a pill master of the sect, I¡¯ll definitely agree, but it can¡¯t be this easy right?¡± Yan Qianyin sighed, and answered him confidently, ¡°As a Tier 1 Pill Master, you¡¯ll be very useful to the sect. I can recommend you to join the sect, and become one of the sect¡¯s pill masters. Just that your talent for cultivation is very limited, so I cannot guarantee that you¡¯ll get sufficient resources for pill refining.¡± What resources for pill refining, Mo Wuji did not care at all. Since he arrived at the Formless Blade Mountain a month ago, he had already enjoyed many benefits from the sect already. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I will be satisfied as long as I am able to enter the library to study, and listen to some elders¡¯ lessons. As for the resources for cultivation and pill refining, I don¡¯t really mind.¡± Mo Wuji said. Yan Qianyin did not have any of the arrogance that other Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner had, hence once Mo Wuji changed his tone, the relationship between them improved. Hearing that Mo Wuji had little requests, Yan Qianyin lightly chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as a pill master of the sect, regardless of whether you¡¯re a Tier 1 Pill Refiner, your position in the sect will be already much higher than most ordinary disciples. These requests of yours are all something that disciples would ask for, so there naturally won¡¯t be any problems meeting them.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, what happened to you previously? It seemed as though all life was sucked out of you?¡± With Yan Qianyin¡¯s assurance, Mo Wuji could relax a little, and his mind moved onto the scene before him not that long ago. Yan Qianyin¡¯s mood took a sudden change for the worse. Her peaceful demeanor quickly switched to become very serious, and at the same time, she stood up. After mulling over something for a few minutes, she took a look at Mo Wuji and asked, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, there is a great treasure out here. But there is equally great danger associated with it. If you¡¯re not careful, you¡¯ll end up like me previously, drained of life energy. Would you dare to try your luck at it with me?¡± ¡°Oh, so you nearly lost all of your life energy for the treasure?¡± Mo Wuji finally understood what was going on. Yan Qianyin nodded her head and replied, ¡°You¡¯re right, I suspect that the place I was at had the Peerless Blade Technique and Skill that one of the past sect heads had left behind, or even more than that. However, you can¡¯t get close to that location at all, once you move nearer to it, your life energy will get sucked away.¡± ¡°Do you still have any more of those Elementary Life Pills?¡± Mo Wuji thought of Yan Qianyin¡¯s previous situation and a lightbulb lit up above his head. However, Yan Qianyin shook her head, ¡°No, I do not. Since you have chosen the path of cultivation, if you don¡¯t struggle through such adversity, how could you ever achieve anything?¡± After all this, Mo Wuji still did not want to go. There were many other ways for him to improve his cultivation. It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of dying. If he was, then he wouldn¡¯t have staked his life to use lightning energy to train his meridians. The true reason behind his reluctance to follow Yan Qianyin was that there was simply too much risk involved, and there was nothing that really attracted his attention. To put his life on the line like that would be plain stupid. --- [1] It¡¯s a story where a farmer finds a freezing snake, and puts it into his warm embrace to save it. But once the snake warms up, its primal instincts take over and the snake bites the farmer, its savio Chapter 82: Deciding to Cooperate Chapter 82: Deciding to Cooperate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji remained silent. However, Yan Qianyin was not a simple pill refiner. After all, she was able to attain the highest seat as a pill refiner in the Formless Blade Sect at such a young age, and her status within the sect was comparable to the sect head himself. She only needed one look at Mo Wuji''s expression to know that he was unwilling to take this risk. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, perhaps you feel that this venture is not practical. However, I am not exaggerating when I tell you this: In the world of cultivators, there are no experts who have not faced dangers. Many of them face close encounters with death. It is impossible for you to be an expert if your journey is smooth sailing. Even if your cultivation goes smoothly, you will not truly be an expert without some life and death experiences.¡± Yan Qianyin seemed to see something in Mo Wuji and started to advise him. Mo Wuji smiled but did not say a word. He knew things clearly in his heart; he did not need people to advise him. Even though he was only in this world for a short period of time, the number of life and death experiences he faced might even be more than this lady in front of him. If it was worth it, he would not need anyone to persuade him. If it wasn''t, he simply wouldn''t treat his life as a joke. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, your cultivation is still low, you don''t understand how important a good sword technique is to our Formless Blade Sect¡­¡± Mo Wuji no longer remained silent and directly interrupted Yan Qianyin''s words, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I''m just a service disciple.¡± Yan Qianyin stopped abruptly. Oh right¡­ Mo Wuji was just a service disciple. A service disciple in the Formless Blade Sect could not actually be said to be related to the sect. Using sword techniques to entice him was simply playing a harp to a cow [1]. However, Yan Qianyin knew that anyone who wanted to come to a sect definitely wouldn''t be indifferent towards his cultivation, even if he was a service disciple. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, what is your current cultivation technique?¡± Yan Qianyin decided to analyze this from the perspectives of cultivation techniques. She wanted him to understand the difference between an outstanding and inferior cultivation technique. Mo Wuji''s expression suddenly turned solemn as he clasped his knuckles and said, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I''m cultivating with the .¡± When Yan Qianyin heard Mo Wuji''s words, her mouth gaped wide and she almost spit out all her saliva. This was the first time she heard someone talk about thewith such solemnity and seriousness. Furthermore, this was the kind of seriousness which arose from genuine admiration from the technique. If not for the fact that she was not a fan of laughing, she would definitely have laughed till she''s out of breath. It felt like half a day had passed before she continued, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo,is just the name that peddlers call it. It sounds very impressive but it''s simply a book called . Next time when you go out, you shouldn''t call itanymore.¡± She was afraid Mo Wuji would throw his own face away. Mo Wuji nodded but he still said, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, thanks for your reminder. But the manual I''m using is indeed the . If anyone were to ask me, I would give the same answer. It''s nothing to be embarrassed about.¡± Mo Wuji sincerely revered this technique manual. He felt that this book truly deserved its name. Others might feel that it''s trash which only resulted in slow cultivation. But to Mo Wuji, it was truly godly. This was the only technique which allowed a mortal to cultivate and become immortal. As a mortal with mortal roots, he was clear that there were no untruths in its name. Seeing Mo Wuji acting so stubbornly, Yan Qianyin could only rub her temples and say, ¡°OK then. Even if you are cultivating this Immortal Mortal Technique, you would still need some abilities and skills to be an expert. When you advance into the Spirit Building Stage, these skills would be trump cards for strong cultivators¡­¡± This time, Yan Qianyin did not continue any further. Mo Wuji was a service disciple. It was already amazing that he had such talent with pill refining. However, his cultivation was lacking, and he probably couldn''t successfully build his spirits. Using Spirit Building Stage skills to entice him, that''s simply¡­ Yan Qianyin sighed deeply and stopped talking. She understood the reason why Mo Wuji didn''t want to go. If she was in Mo Wuji''s position, she would not have wanted to go too. To use Spirit Building Stage skills to tempt a person who was destined never to reach that stage; it would be weird if he actually got tempted. Skills? Mo Wuji''s eyes lit up. Techniques were not tempting to him but skills were. Following Yan Qianyin''s words, skills would be very important when he reaches Spirit Building Stage. Actually, he had already previously known about the idea of skills, but it was already extremely hard for him to obtain this simple . It was simply quixotic to even think about getting some skill manuals. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, are you sure there are skill manuals?¡± Mo Wuji''s eyes shone brightly as he asked that question. Yan Qianyin looked at Mo Wuji doubtfully as she casually replied, ¡°How can I be sure about these kinds of things. But I believe that the place was left behind by a senior of the Formless Blade Sect, and it wouldn''t be out of the blue to find some skill manuals there.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I''m in. Tell me, what do I need to do?¡± Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say. Yan Qianyin looked at Mo Wuji with greater shock. Previously, she wasted so much energy to persuade him, but he didn''t look a half bit interested. But when she wanted to give up, he actually agreed to go with her. ¡°You want skills?¡± Yan Qianyin could guess that Mo Wuji definitely wanted some skill manuals. Mo Wuji nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right. I do want some skills to protect myself. It''s just that my cultivation is low, how can I help?¡± Yan Qianyin ecstatically said, ¡°Not only can you help, you can help a lot! Have you heard of the Life Sucking Beast?¡± She was too lazy to explain how skills would be useless to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji shook his head; he could be considered a novice towards spiritual ingredients but he was a total noob towards beasts and demonic beasts. Yan Qianyin did not find it weird that Mo Wuji didn''t know about the Life Sucking Beast, and she explained carefully, ¡°The Life Sucking Beast is an extremely valuable demonic beast. Countless people want to obtain this beast to no avail. This demonic beast has one ability, that is to suck and steal life force. It didn''t matter whether the life force is from spiritual herbs or from cultivators; as long as there is life force, it can suck it up.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, you''re saying that there is a Life Sucking Beast here, and the life force of all these herbs have been devoured by it?¡± Yan Qianyin answered, ¡°There is indeed a Life Sucking Beast here. However, I''m not too sure if the life force of these herbs have been devoured by it. It might have been the works the beast''s owner. Don''t assume that the Life Sucking Beast magically appeared here. If not for someone bringing it in, do you think that a Life Sucking Beast can enter the Formless Blade Mountain?¡± Mo Wuji¡¯s face flashed a serious expression. He had never seen a Life Sucking Beast before, but from the devastated looks of Yan Qianyin, he knew that it was far more powerful than him. If he also had to deal with its owner, he would simply be finding death. Seemingly seeing through Mo Wuji''s thoughts, Yan Qianyin smiled and said, ¡°You don''t have to be so worried. I guess that the Life Sucking Beast''s owner is already gone, if not this young beast wouldn''t be let loose like this. Moreover, when I was escaping, I saw that the Life Sucking Beast was at most a Level 3 Demonic Beast, which is only equivalent to our Transcending Mortality Stage. If not for that Life Sucking Beast attacking me suddenly, I would not have had such a terrible outcome.¡± It was considered young despite being at the Transcending Mortality Stage? Another step further and it would be in the Yuan Dan Stage, and that is one of the stages of the illustrious Earth Realm. ¡°Then what stage is senior apprentice sister Yan?¡± Mo Wuji knew that it was rude to ask others about their cultivation level, but this matter involved his little life, so he had to ask. ¡°I''m at full completion of Transcending Mortality Stage. If what I met was not this Life Sucking Beast which can devour life force, I wouldn''t have required help to enter that place,¡± Yan Qianyin answered flatly. Mo Wuji lamented in his heart; she''s at the same stage as the Life Sucking Beast, how could she be so sure that she could deal with it? Moreover, his cultivation was so low, how could he help? ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, I have a pill formula for the Ephemeral Life Pill, it''s a Tier 2 pill. This pill can recover your life energy, and prevent it from dispersing. But it has a flaw, it has a short lifespan. It needs to be concocted and eaten together¡­¡± Without waiting for Yan Qianyin to complete her sentence, Mo Wuji already understood his purpose, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, you''re saying you want me to follow behind you and help you concoct the Ephemeral Life Pill?¡± Yan Qianyin nodded, ¡°Yes. I will help you block the Life Sucking Beast''s attacks. You just need to concoct the Ephemeral Life Pill. When I''m battling the Life Sucking Beast, you will help put those pills in my mouth.¡± No wonder why she needed his help, she needed him to help concoct pills. Listening to her plan, Mo Wuji awkwardly said, ¡°But senior apprentice sister Yan, I''m just a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner.¡± --- [1] TL Note: Playing to a wrong audience Chapter 83: Yan Qianyin’s Surprise Chapter 83: Yan Qianyin¡¯s Surprise Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°I¡¯ve consumed the pills that you refined, and I can safely assure you that out of all the Tier 1 Pill Refiners in the Formless Blade Sect, there isn¡¯t a single person that can create Tier 1 Mortal Pills at the same level as you. I believe that you will soon break through the barrier separating Tier 1 and Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiners, and with a little nudge forward, you¡¯ll be able to become a fully fledged Tier 2 Pill Refiner.¡± Yan Qianyin said with a serious tone, staring at Mo Wuji. In response, Mo Wuji had to admit, ¡°Actually I¡¯ve tried to refine Tier 2 Mortal Pills before, but never once did I succeed.¡± Surrounded by such bountiful fields of spiritual ingredients, how could Mo Wuji have stopped at refining Tier 1 Mortal Pills? Not only did he attempt to refine Tier 2 Mortal Pills a couple of times, but he tried to do so for nearly 60 to 70 batches, and without fail, every attempt did not succeed. Luckily spiritual ingredients were present by the truckload here, otherwise, even the sects with the deepest pockets could not accommodate such wasteful actions. Eventually, Mo Wuji realised that he was still not at the level where he could refine Tier 2 Mortal Pills mainly because he had accumulated insufficient experience. Hence he stopped his futile attempts to refine Tier 2 Mortal Pills, and refined a whole lot of Energy Condensing Pills, Vitality Replenishing Pills, and Smooth Blood Pills. Yan Qianyin lightly laughed, ¡°Why you have not broken through to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pier Refiner boils down to two simple reasons. First, you¡¯ve always thought that being a pill refiner was insanely difficult, thus you¡¯re already satisfied with becoming a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner in such a short period of time. As a result, your subconscious is holding you back, thinking that you cannot become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner so quickly. This essentially is a lack of confidence. Second, when you were refining Tier 2 Mortal Pills, your control over the ingredients in the pill furnace remained at the level required for Tier 1 Mortal Pills. For this point, you will automatically fix it with time. But for now with me around, I will correct your mistakes in the as soon as possible, so that you can properly refine Tier 2 Mortal Pills.¡± Mo Wuji went into a daze. Yan Qianyin was completely right about the first point. He really thought that it would be impossible to reach the level of a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner in such a short period of time. However, as for the second point, he could not really confirm it through his experiences. ¡°Don¡¯t ask me how I know about all this, because I¡¯ve been in your shoes before. Also, don¡¯t assume that it is not possible to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner so expeditiously. My master once told me, my grandmaster took only half a year to go from starting to learn pill refining to becoming an Earth Pill Refiner. To be able to become a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner within half a month with years of only theoretical study in pill refining, you can already be considered a genius.¡± Upon hearing that Yan Qianyin¡¯s grandmaster became an Earth Pill Refiner in only half a year, even though he knew that she was intentionally trying to boost his confidence, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but feel that her words had some effect. To him, pill refining did not seem as difficult as others made it out to be. He definitely was affected by the rumors, causing him to neglect his own strengths. His strength was in his extensive knowledge about various plants and their characteristics back on Earth, and building on this with the information within the wordless pill manual, his understanding towards spiritual ingredients greatly surpassed ordinary pill refiners. Adding on his hand and pill techniques, he might actually have a chance at advancing a tier. Yan Qianyin carried on, ¡°On top of that, another way of evaluating a pill refiner is to look at how pure he can refine spiritual ingredients to be. In terms of refining normal spiritual herbs, what level of purity can you reach currently?¡± Mo Wuji honestly answered, ¡°About 80% I guess.¡± Although he felt that he could reach 90% purity, but Mo Wuji did not reveal this, as he was unsure if his assessment was correct or not, or if there were any other benchmarks for measuring purity. Hence he rounded down the figures. When Yan Qianyin heard Mo Wuji¡¯s reply, she secretly shook her head in disappointment, and at the same time her impression of Mo Wuji became worse. Even at her current level, she could barely reach 80% purity when refining spiritual ingredients. For ordinary pill refiners, to be able to reach 60% or 70% would be considered quite good. The higher the purity, the harder it was to progress. Someone who reached 89% purity when refining spiritual ingredients might even take decades to improve it to 90% purity, and this would not be a guaranteed thing. Precisely because of this fact, Yan Qianyin thought that Mo Wuji was simply bragging about his abilities because he assumed that she would now know the truth. However, what Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know was that at her level of skills, as long as he started refining in front of her, she would be able to discern how pure his ingredients became. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, why don¡¯t I refine a batch of Tier 2 Mortal Pills now, and you can point out any mistakes that I make in the process.¡± Mo Wuji observed Yan Qianyin¡¯s silence, and took the initiative to ask in a humble manner. With a nod, she agreed, ¡°Sure, you can start refining now.¡± She did not expose his ruse immediately, and even if Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual ingredient purity did not hit anywhere close to 80%, she wouldn¡¯t either. Mo Wuji¡¯s pill of choice was the Poison Cleansing Pill, a legitimate Tier 2 Mortal Pill which could be used as an antidote for a variety of poisons. Out of his tens of attempts at refining Tier 2 Mortal Pills, about half of them were with the Poison Cleansing Pill. Seeing that Mo Wuji chose to make the Poison Cleansing Pill, Yan Qianyin seemed to understand why he did not agree to join her to face the Life Sucking Beast. Obviously he valued his life greatly. Deep inside, Yan Qianyin sighed, luckily Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit root quality was poor, otherwise, he might have really squandered his talent in cultivation and pill refining. From her perspective, for one who valued his life too highly and feared death like a coward, it would be difficult to achieve much on their journey in cultivation. Ha, a cultivator having a smooth sailing life? There would always be life and death situations. Despite all that, it was good that Mo Wuji picked the Poison Cleansing Pill. As long as he could refine a batch of it, he should be able to refine the Ephemeral Life Pill. Naturally, Mo Wuji was unaware of Yan Qianyin¡¯s thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t care. While he valued his life, he wasn¡¯t a coward who feared death. Pointlessly risking his life wasn¡¯t his style. If he saw that what he faced was more important than his own life, even if it meant dying immediately, he would not back off by a single step. Refining the Poison Cleansing Pill was only a backup measure. Back when he was in Rao Zhou, he nearly got hit by a poisoned arrow. And although he had already begun cultivating, all the people that he had interacted with were immortal masters, hence once he gets poisoned by one of them, whether he would be able to detect the poison would be another thing altogether. Since he had become a pill refiner, why not refine some antidotes to keep as a safety net? Mo Wuji started by using the firestone to light up the pill furnace, then he began to clean it. Following that, he placed the spiritual ingredients into the furnace one by one, and began the refining process. Yan Qianyin got the shock of her life while observing how Mo Wuji cleaned the pill furnace. Once again when she observed him integrating spiritual energy into his hand techniques to refine the spiritual ingredients, she was so surprised that she stood up on the spot. Based on her preliminary observations, she could confirm that the pill refining techniques that Mo Wuji inherited were not of simple background. As far as she knew, there was no one else other than her that could use spiritual energy in their hand technique to refine ingredients. The reason she could do so was because she had inherited an impressive set of techniques, but it still took her till the Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner stage before she could execute such a technique. Unbelievably before her eyes, Mo Wuji was doing the same only at the Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner level. She could not accept what she was seeing, but the truth was right in front of her. In fact, Mo Wuji had already restrained himself after seeing Shi Jun use a tool like a scoop to refine ingredients, as he knew that his hand and pill techniques were rather good. And precisely because they were rather good, he intentionally hid his pill techniques, purely relying on the hand techniques when doing pill refining. Based on his premonition, something like pill techniques should not be freely used in the presence of others. Moreover, at his current level of cultivation, it would be a stretch to control the pill refining process with pill techniques. The crux of the pill techniques was to use your spiritual will to control the process, but as he did not know what spiritual will was, he could only use his willpower to forcibly take control. Pills refined through this method would have variable results, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When it was good, the pills made had higher quality than those made using hand techniques. But when it was bad, there was immediate failure. Using willpower to take control was a skill that Mo Wuji learnt initially when he was guiding the lightning to strike his meridians. Now that he had a cultivation technique, he no longer had to do so, but instead he utilised this method when refining pills. One by one the stalks of spiritual herbs were cleaned of impurities, and the residue that was left behind Mo Wuji threw out of the pill furnace. Yan Qianyin¡¯s level of shock became greater as time went by, she discovered that Mo Wuji was not simply bragging just now, but instead he was being too modest. The purity of his refined ingredients definitely was 80%... No, this was not only 80%. Yan Qianyin gasped uncontrollably when Mo Wuji removed the residue from the furnace a second time... Chapter 84: The Life Sucking Beast Chapter 84: The Life Sucking Beast Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Once Mo Wuji finished refining the ingredients and began fusing the medicinal essences together, Yan Qianyin was sure that his skill at refining ingredients was not any lower than hers. The purity of the refined product definitely hit around 85%. What¡¯s more, Mo Wuji was only a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner. Someone with such terrifying potential definitely could become an Earth Pill Refiner. Thinking of Mo Wuji¡¯s talent in cultivation, Yan Qianyin sighed once again. He was fated to waste his talent in pill refining, because no Earth Pill Refiner could reach that level just by talent in pill refining alone; talent in cultivation was equally important. This was also why there were so few pill refiners. Perhaps her words really had some effect on him, because after listening to Yan Qianyin¡¯s speech, Mo Wuji¡¯s movements became more fluid than ever. There were zero problems up to the point when the medicinal essences were about to completely fuse together. Minutes later, the fusing was finished. Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. In the past tens of attempts, not once had he been able to even start condensing the pills, which was what he was about to embark on next. Spiritual energy began to course through his hands as he initiated his hand techniques on the purified and fused medicine essences, but even before he had the time to start the pil condensation, the spiritual ingredients suddenly went ¡°Boom¡±, and a smell of charred material wafted through the air. A disappointed look appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s face as he halted the pill condensing process, staring at Yan Qianyin for answers. He could still identify the core problems after his previous failures, but now, without further guidance, he had no idea what went wrong. Yan Qianyin sighed, staring back at Mo Wuji and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious what caused your failure at refining a Tier 2 Mortal Pill?¡± Mo Wuji nodded silently, thinking to himself: You don¡¯t say? ¡°You are the most talented pill refiner I¡¯ve ever seen. From the start to the end, I never saw a single mistake in your refining techniques.¡± Yan Qianyin replied. ¡°The problem doesn¡¯t lie with the pill refining process, but with the pill flames instead. You are using firestones for pill refining, this in itself already makes pill refining much harder as compared to using normal flames. On top of that you chose the poorest quality firestone, red firestones, which not only give a low temperature, but is also unstable. As a result, the fusing process of medicinal essences was still incomplete.¡± Believing that she would continue to give him a further explanation, Mo Wuji quietly listened to Yan Qianyin¡¯s speech. As expected, she added on further, ¡°Pill Master Ju and Pill Master Shi were able to refine the Tier 3 Mortal Pills that you saw, only because Pill Master Ju was an infinitesimal gap away from becoming a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, and as Pill Master Shi had your help to barely succeed. Most importantly, their cultivation levels were greatly superior than your current state, hence allowing them to infuse spiritual energy into the pill flames to facilitate the fusing process. While you, if I¡¯m not wrong, are only in the initial levels of the Channel Opening Stage. Even the Tier 2 Pill Refiners of the lowest cultivation levels would be at the more advanced levels of the Channel Opening Stage.¡± So it was an issue with my cultivation level... Mo Wuji lamented to himself. When he failed previously, didn¡¯t he consider that it was because his level of cultivation was too low? As it always seemed as though as his spiritual energy could never reach his desired levels when combining it with his hand techniques for the fusing process. ¡°So pill refining must progress parallel with one¡¯s cultivation?¡± Mo Wuji asked again impatiently. ¡°Not necessarily, some expert pill masters are still about to produce top tier pills even with their cultivation sealed up. But this sort of pill refiners are an endangered species, and even for them, they wouldn¡¯t have gotten to their level without a certain level of cultivation.¡± Hearing Yan Qianyin¡¯s explanation, Mo Wuji answered back, ¡°it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to go with you, but at my current standard, there¡¯s no way that I¡¯ll be able to make the Ephemeral Life Pill.¡± Hesitantly, Yan Qianyin pulled out an orange coloured rock, ¡°I have an orange firestone here. The temperature of its flames are markedly higher that the red firestone, and is comparable to other earth fires, thus you¡¯ll likely be able to refine a batch of Ephemeral Life Pills with it. However, I only have one of it, so you can¡¯t do any trial and error with it first. If you¡¯re willing to take the risk, we¡¯ll depart now. But remember, once the Life Sucking Beast has been disturbed, you¡¯ll only have one chance to refine the pills.¡± After speaking, Yan Qianyin was unsure if Mo Wuji would agree, hence she added on, ¡°If there¡¯s any skills there, I¡¯ll let you have first pick. Even if there aren¡¯t any, and we manage to survive, I promise that I¡¯ll give one skill to you.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± With the guarantee that he would get a skill either way, what was there to hesitate about? He could already cultivate, so once he had a skill, at least he would be able to fight back if he met with any incidents. Yan Qianyin¡¯s eyes glimmered with appreciation, ¡°Junior apprentice Mo, you didn¡¯t disappoint me. I¡¯ll lead the way, so let¡¯s go now.¡± ¡­ An hour later, Yan Qianyin stopped at the perimeter of a gorge. ¡°Is this the place?¡± wondered Mo Wuji as he looked towards her while carrying a large pill furnace on his back. This gorge was filled with lush greenery in every corner. Every spiritual herbs here was much more valuable than anything that he had used in the past, even the density of spiritual energy was high, Nodding her head, Yan Qianyin agreed, ¡°Yes, this is it. Once we enter this gorge and head forward for 60 meters, you will be able to see the living habitat of the Life Sucking beast.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s still so much life energy around here....¡± Yan Qianyin cut Mo Wuji off in the middle of his sentence, ¡°Did you think that the area where the Life Sucking Beast lived at would be devoid of all life? Even a rabbit does not eat the grass around its home, what more of the Life Sucking Beast. The beast usually chooses a location richest in life and spiritual energy to settle down at. And from a certain perspective, a Life Sucking Beast can also be considered the king of that area.¡± Upon ending her speech, and with a pat to her waist, a blade appeared out of nowhere into the hands of Yan Qianyin. She gave Mo Wuji a signal through her eyes, and cautiously entered the gorge. ¡°Senior apprentice Yan, is it because the Life Sucking Beast can find areas with the densest life and spiritual energy that there¡¯s so many people that want to capture the Life Sucking Beast?¡± Mo Wuji asked softly as he followed behind Yan Qianyin. She answered Mo Wuji while trekking forward, focusing as hard as she could to do so, ¡°It¡¯s only one of the minor reasons. There is a better way to use the Life Sucking Beast, as its body is full of life energy. This sort of life energy encompasses many of the principles of cultivation, hence allowing one to easily breakthrough to the next stage. For example, I am at the Full Completion of Transcending Mortality Stage, so as long as I can get my hands on the Life Sucking Beast, I will 100% be able to breakthrough to the Yuan Dan Stage to become an Earth Realm cultivator.¡± ¡°I wish you the best of luck in catching the Life Sucking Beast, breaking through to the Yuan Dan Stage, and becoming an Earth Realm expert. Oh ya, Senior Apprentice Yan, what¡¯s that little pouch on your waist? It can make a long sword appear with just a pat?¡± As long as Mo Wiji could obtain a skill, he would be satisfied. Something like the Life Sucking Beast was useless to him anyway. But he had been curious for the longest time about the small pouch on Yan Qianyin¡¯s waist. ¡°It¡¯s a storage bag, which can store items of much larger sizes. The one that I have was a gift from my master.¡± Yan Qianyin answered, while speeding through the dense foliage, brushing plants and branches to the side. Storage bag? Mo Wuji was instantly enthralled by it, and wanted to get one badly. Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient for him to travel around. He couldn¡¯t just lug tens of kilos of pill refining equipment around. ¡°We¡¯re almost there¡­¡± Yan Qianyin¡¯s words interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s chain of thought. He looked up to find a cave hidden behind countless green vines. ¡°The Life Sucking Beast must be asleep. Start refining the pills now. Once you begin, the beast will be alerted of our presence. I¡¯ll shield you from the life draining, and the rest is up to you¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, a terrifying suction power acted on the both of them. Soon after, Mo Wuji felt his body feeling weaker by the second, as though life and soul were being sucked out of him. Chapter 85: Ephemeral Life Pill Chapter 85: Ephemeral Life Pill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°The Life Sucking Beast has sensed our intrusion, hurry concoct the pill¡­¡± Yan Qianyin struggled to say that sentence. With that, her whole body stopped moving. Mo Wuji felt a strong circulation of the life force within his body. This strong circulation was able to counter the suction force which was consuming his life force, allowing him to end up unaffected. Mo Wuji was clear that the only safe place was by Yan Qianyin''s side. If he were to leave by even a single step, with his low cultivation, his entire life force would be sucked dry in an instant. At this moment, a thought suddenly struck him: Yan Qianyin and his lives were not on the same line. If she was no longer able to bear it, she could easily abandon him and escape by herself. If that were to happen, there was nothing much he could do except to wait and die. Understanding this principle, how could Mo Wuji dare waste any more time? He used his fastest speed to place the pill furnace on the ground and ignite the orange firestone. The orange firestone burned strongly under the furnace. Mo Wuji prepared the ingredients for the Ephemeral Life Pill by the side. Thereafter, he proceeded to clean the pill furnace. There was no hesitation in his actions, and his actions were as smooth as water. Even though Yan Qianyin was facing some difficulty, she could not help but praise Mo Wuji in her heart. In the face of danger, Mo Wuji did not panic and lose his cool. Instead, he was incomparably calm and did things systematically without making any mistakes. The pill furnace had been cleaned by Mo Wuji several times before, so he only needed to clean it once this time around. Mo Wuji then threw the ingredients into the pill furnace for purification. Previously in all his pill refining efforts, Mo Wuji had always been using the red firestone, and he had never tried any other firestones. The moment he tried the orange firestone, he knew that it was going to be much easier than the red one. He would need to use less spiritual energy for his hand and pill techniques. Each and every strain of spiritual herb was purified by Mo Wuji, and the medicinal dregs were all expelled from the furnace. As Mo Wuji was putting in all his efforts, he was able to purify all the ingredients in a short 20 minutes. The medicinal essence fusion process was also uneventful; under the help of the orange firestone, Mo Wuji was able to fuse the medicinal essences in the shortest possible time. Just when he was about to start condensing the pill, Mo Wuji felt his life force diminishing. Mo Wuji got shocked and his hand trembled slightly, almost scattering and ruining the solution of fused essences. He no longer cared about hiding his abilities and consuming his spiritual energy; with a surge of his spiritual energy, he started to use several pill techniques in succession. The scattered solution coagulated once more. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he spared some of his effort to check on Yan Qianyin. Yan Qianyin''s eyes were closed shut, her face was pale and her face was trembling slightly. In this short period of time, Mo Wuji felt as though she had lost more than 10 kilograms. By her temples, some of her hair had already started to turn white. At this moment, Mo Wuji was sure that Yan Qianyin could not last much longer. If she stayed any longer, it would be extremely hard if she wanted to escape by herself. Yan Qianyin knew that she had the chance to run away but she still chose to stay behind to counter the Life Sucking Beast''s devouring force. Even though she was merely fighting hard for the inheritance, Mo Wuji was still touched by her actions. His life was now tied to Yan Qianyin''s decisions. If she chose to persevere, he would continue living; if she chose to run away, he could only prepare himself for death. At this moment, Mo Wuji no longer had any qualms; his pill condensing techniques constantly landed on the pill furnace. It''s not because he wasn''t worried that Yan Qianyin wasn''t able to notice him. Even if she did, he would still use his hidden aces - his pill techniques to condense the pills. Under Mo Wuji''s consistent efforts, it took less than 10 minutes for a pill aroma to waft out. It''s succeeding! Mo Wuji rejoiced and continued to madly throw out his different pill techniques. His spiritual energy was depleting rapidly and his face also started to turn pale white. Sweat trickled down from his forehead as Mo Wuji felt his hands trembling. Perhaps he could no longer hold on any longer. However, Mo Wuji continued to push on with a strong sense of gratitude in his heart. Yan Qianyin''s life force was continuously being devoured but she chose to stay on and protect him, all so he could have the opportunity to condense the pill. Another minute passed; 12 green pills were completely melded within the pill furnace. With a slap on the furnace, Mo Wuji started to collect the pills. He could heedlessly use his pill techniques to condense the pills, but he could not do so for the pill collection. With his level of cultivation, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to exhibit the powers of the pill collection techniques. However, not using the technique would cause the pills to be of lower quality and lose some of its efficacy. But how could Mo Wuji care about that now? Being able to concoct the pill was already be a huge, pleasant surprise. 12 pills flew into the jade vase Yan Qianyin prepared for him. Mo Wuji did not bother to extinguish the fire under the furnace and directly put two Ephemeral Life Pills into Yan Qianyin''s mouth. At the same time, he swallowed one for himself. As Mo Wuji consumed the Ephemeral Life Pill, he felt a blazing hot gush of energy stemming within his body. Afterwards this energy directly countered the force which was sucking his life energy. Mo Wuji celebrated; this was some good stuff! The effects of the Ephemeral Life Pill worked really fast; in the instant the pill landed in Yan Qianyin''s mouth, her eyes opened up wide. As she opened her eyes, she could see Mo Wuji collecting the rest of the pills, and strong emotions swelled in her heart. She truly did pick the right person, Mo Wuji really succeeded. With just one opportunity, and under such immense pressure, a Tier 1 Pill Refiner managed to concoct a Tier 2 pill. Luckily, she chose to believe Mo Wuji to the very end. If she lost hope and escaped, not only would she lose the inheritance, she would also have to live with the guilt of Mo Wuji''s death. She did not hesitate to swallow the two Ephemeral Life Pills, before running into the green vines, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, hurry and follow me. When I can no longer take it, immediately send me a pill.¡± He did not need Yan Qianyin to remind him; Mo Wuji had long started to rush towards the vines. ¡°Peng!¡± A powerful force surged out, sending Mo Wuji flying out and crashing onto the vines. Mo Wuji finally saw what Yan Qianyin was battling with. It was a small thing with a head not even 30 centimeters long. It looked a little like a fox but its tail and ears were short. Alternatively, you could see it as a hybrid between a small dog and a fox. ¡°Don¡¯t lean on the vines¡­¡± At the same time Yan Qianyin''s voice called out, Mo Wuji felt something on his back biting him. A strong feeling of numbness started spreading throughout his body. It''s a poisonous snake¡­ Back on Earth, Mo Wuji spent much of his time researching on plants. This wasn''t the first time he was bitten by a poisonous snake. At the instant he was bitten, he did not hesitate to take out a jade vase and put a Poison Cleansing Pill into his mouth. The Poison Cleansing Pill worked instantly; the numbness stopped spreading and was extinguished by the effects of the pill. Mo Wuji let out a short breath before moving away. Previously, Yan Qianyin told him that when she was fighting the Life Sucking Beast, the beast will no longer devour his life energy. He finally could let down his vigilance. Who knew that there would be so many poisonous snakes at where the Life Sucking Beast was living. Luckily, he had the foresight to concoct a batch of Poison Cleansing Pill, if not he would have lost his little life. Seeing Mo Wuji get rid of the venom, Yan Qianyin heaved a sigh of relief. Her previous idea of Mo Wuji as a person who was scared of death changed. The snake that just bit Mo Wuji was not an ordinary snake. If Mo Wuji did not have the Ephemeral Life Pill, she would have also been hesitant in going to save him. She did not expect that Mo Wuji to neutralise the poison by himself, and so quickly. Looking at his actions, she could see that this was not his first time getting bitten by a poisonous snake. No wonder why he chose to concoct the Poison Cleansing Pill in his first attempt at Tier 2 pills. His actions always seemed to have a motive and a plan; this made Yan Qianyin change her opinion of him. As the venom got suppressed, Mo Wuji counter-attacked with the short knife tied onto his thigh. Blood gushed out as the snake which bit Mo Wuji was directly cut in half. At this moment, Mo Wuji discovered that there wasn''t just one snake on the vine. Countless snakes were wrapped around the vines, Mo Wuji could not clearly determine how many snakes there were. ¡°Ephemeral Life Pill¡­¡± At this instant, Mo Wuji heard Yan Qianyin''s anxious voice again. Mo Wuji turned back and saw the Life Sucking Beast pouncing on Yan Qianyin, and Yan Qianyin''s movement were slowed and sluggish. He did not think any further, and threw two Ephemeral Life Pills into Yan Qianyin''s mouth. The Ephemeral Life Pills were swallowed by Yan Qianyin. Coincidentally, the Life Sucking Beast landed on Yan Qianyin at the moment. Yan Qianyin''s hands were like a fairy scattering flowers, forming countless complicated hand signs which landed on the Life Sucking Beast''s body. Chapter 86: The Broken Blade Chapter 86: The Broken Blade Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: A dull roar echoed through gorge; the Life Sucking Beast crumbled into Yan Qianyin¡¯s embrace like a little kitten. She quickly sat down, and weakly said to Mo Wuji, ¡°Quickly give me the remaining Ephemeral Life Pills¡­¡± Five pills appeared in his hands, and were passed to Yan Qianyin. Mo Wuji decided that he wanted to keep two for himself. Although he could produce Ephemeral Life Pills, but there was a particular spiritual herb, Life Incubating Grass. This sort of spiritual herb was very expensive, and could not be easily obtained. Thankfully for the batches of Ephemeral Life Pill he had concocted so far, all the Life Incubating Grass was provided for by Yan Qianyin. But now that the Life Sucking Beast had been subdued by her, it would be difficult for him to get any more. Moreover, she only needed to take three Ephemeral Life Pills in her current state, taking five would just be wasting two pills. Nonetheless, Yan Qianyin gobbled down all five pills handed to her, took out a piece of rope, and restrained the Life Sucking Beast with it, before sending the beast into the burlap sack on her back. After all that, she then said to Mo Wuji, ¡°Even though it was a waste for me to eat all of the pills, but leaving a few for yourself would be of no use anyway. This sort of pills will lose its effectiveness soon.¡± To this, Mo Wuji responded with a slight smile, not saying a word. He kept a few Ephemeral Life Pills not to consume them, but for research purposes. In this aspect, the Ephemeral Life Pill, a Tier 2 Mortal Pill, paled in comparison to the Elementary Life Pill, a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill that could be kept for prolonged periods of time. As long as the Ephemeral Life Pill could be stored longer, instead of losing its effectiveness within a short period of time, then even if it cannot compare to the Elementary Life Pill, it definitely would not remain as a mere Tier 2 pill. Regardless of whether it would work, leaving a few pills to study did not hurt anyone. This was a habit that he had developed back on Earth: to research anything and everything to see if it had any value. ¡°Follow me inside. Even though the Life Sucking Beast has been subdued, we still have to keep our guard up.¡± Yan Qianyin did not carry blabbering on after this single sentence, simply signalling to Mo Wuji before entering the depths of the cave. Mo Wuji had gone into a demonic beast¡¯s cave before, back when he entered the Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s cave with Ji Guang and co. The Winged Sea Leopard¡¯s cave was messy and stank badly. But the Life Sucking Beast¡¯s cave was not only spick and span, but also had a frightening density of spiritual energy, which even made Mo Wuji consider staying there to cultivate. Tens of meters down the spotless passage of the cave, a broad stone pavilion appeared before them. The first thing that caught Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes was a broken sword. This half was the blade of the sword, stabbed into the centre of the stone pavilion. It emanated a killer aura even after who knows how long it was there for. ¡°The Fallen Tune Sword?¡± Yan Qianyin gasped uncontrollably, immediately leaping in front of the broken blade in one bound. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, what¡¯s the Fallen Tune Sword?¡± Mo Wuji questioned as he walked beside Yan Qianyin. Her eyes ran up and down the body of the blade repeatedly, before she finally replied, ¡°Do you know of the Hanging Sword Cliff of our Formless Blade Sect?¡± ¡°Yes I do.¡± Mo Wuji answered quickly. In the past he was actually threatened by Shi Jun that he would be thrown to the bottom of the Hanging Sword Cliff if the pill refining failed. After agreeing with her, he seemed to understand what was going on, and followed up with the question, ¡°senior apprentice sister Yan, are you saying that this broken half and the broken half at the Hanging Sword Cliff are from the same sword?¡± Yan Qianyin nodded, ¡°You¡¯re right, they are from the same sword. The one at the Hanging Sword cliff is the hilt, while the one here is the blade. You still can¡¯t recognise it yet as you have not started training in swordsmanship, but once you do, it will become very obvious.¡± Mo Wuji thought to himself, even if I had trained in swordsmanship, I would not recognise that they are from the same blade as I have never even seen the half at the Hanging Sword Cliff before. Perhaps he was the only one in the whole Formless Blade Sect that saw the blade of the Fallen Tune Sword first. ¡°Is this sword very famous in the Formless Blade Sect?¡± Mo Wuji asked again. If this sword wasn¡¯t famous, half of it wouldn¡¯t be hanging from the Hanging Sword Cliff, and the other half kept within the Formless Blade Mountain. Yan Qianyin squatted down, running her hands over the backbone of the Fallen Tune Sword¡¯s blade slowly before replying with a sigh, ¡°its owner was someone called Mo Luoqu, who was a good friend of Zhuo Wuhen, the founder of the Formless Blade Sect.¡± [1] Wow, this guy actually has the same surname as me, Mo Wuji thought in his mind. Yan Qianyin continued, ¡°Rumor has it that the Fallen Tune Sword was broken by the Formless Blade, which was the personal sword of our sect¡¯s founder.¡± ¡°Why did that happen? Weren¡¯t they the best of friends?¡± Mo Wuji was puzzled by this new piece of information. Yan Qianyin remained in her squatting position, but her hands had left the body of the blade, ¡°It was rumored that this all happened because of a woman called Fu Yanfei. This woman was originally Mo Luoqu¡¯s lover, but as Mo Luoqu helped Zhuo Wuhen set up the Formless Blade Sect out of friendship, she began to interact with Zhuo Wuhen more and more. Zhuo Wuhen was much more interesting and humourous than Mo Luoqu, and in a short period of time, Fu Yanfei had a change of heart. Soon enough, she was in love with Wuhen and got together with him. Not only that, she went on further to to help him backstab Mo Luoqu. Deeply hurt, Mo Luoqu left with his half of the sword and fled. Who knew he never left the Formless Blade Sect, but came to hide the Formless Blade Mountain.¡± Mo Wuji gave a cold snort, ¡°Heh, so it¡¯s a sh*tty vixen and an adulterous man. If this fickle minded woman was in my hands, I would definitely not give her any mercy. To have made such lousy friends and fallen in love with such a cheap woman, this Mo Luoqu must have been blind.¡± Yan Qianyin did not know that Mo Wuji had been backstabbed by his lover before boing reborn into this word. His criticism of Mo Luoqu was actually directed at himself too. Hence, she stared at Mo Wuji and asked, ¡°You¡¯re a disciple of the Formless Blade Sect, yet you dare criticise your founder?¡± ¡°Hehehe,¡± Mo Wuji chuckled. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, from the tone that you¡¯re using, don¡¯t you despise Zhuo Wuhen too? I¡¯m just a service disciple who has neither prayed to the founder nor truly entered the door of the Formless Blade Sect. How could I even be considered a disciple in the first place?¡± Yan Qianyin stood up and replied, ¡°I¡¯m just recounting some past events. I didn¡¯t use any sort of tone just now.¡± At this point, Mo Wuji could not bother to argue with her any longer, since she could speak with such a tone, it was obvious that she also thought that Zhuo Wuhen was a person of poor character. He believed that she would not go back to the sect to tell on him, a lowly service disciple, either. Yan Qianyin spoke again, ¡°But you¡¯re about to become a pill refiner of the Formless Blade Sect too, and once you do so, you will have to pray to the founder and all past sect heads. When that happens, you will be an actual disciple of the Formless Blade Sect. Do you think that a disciple should insult their founder as a piece of trash?¡± Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze fell on the broken sword in the ground, and his voice became softer, ¡°Kneeling down to pray to this sort of person is a real disgrace, so I won¡¯t become Formless Blade Sect¡¯s pill refiner any more. This way I won¡¯t have to pray to anyone, so senior apprentice sister Yan, you don¡¯t have to help me. I¡¯ll just remain as a service disciple.¡± It was not because of how morally upright Mo Wuji was. He simply hated people who betrayed their friends. This Zhuo Wuhen not only betrayed his close friend that helped him establish his sect, but also stole his friend¡¯s wife at the same time. Someone who did such horrendous acts would already be considered as the scum of the world, but Zhuo Wuhen did not stop there. Together with Fu Yanfei, he backstabbed Mo Luoqu. He would rather cultivate elsewhere than to become the disciple of such a man. Yan Qianyin was not bothered by Mo Wuji¡¯s words, instead pointing at the piece of broken sword, ¡°Since you empathise with Mo Luoqu that much, I¡¯ll leave this half of the sword with you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even train in swordsmanship, what use would this sword be?¡± Mo Wuji asked. He did not know much about swords as he did not train with them, but even if he could get a sword, it shouldn¡¯t be a broken sword right? ¡°Whether you want it or not, it is up to you.¡± Yan Qianyin casually told him, before carrying on deeper into the stone pavilion. After some thought, Mo Wuji bent down to grab the spine of the blade, drawing the broken blade out of the ground. To have established a sect, regardless of how good or bad he was, Zhuo Wuhen must have been a pretty impressive guy. As someone on par with Zhuo Wuhen in reputation, Mo Luoqu couldn¡¯t have been that far off either, so Mo Wuji decided to keep this piece of the sword. [1] Luoqu = Fallen Tune, and Wuhen = Formless. So the swords/blades were named after their owners, and the Formless Blade Sect was named after the founder, Zhuo Wuhen [2] TL Note: we will be using italics to highlight the thoughts of the characters Chapter 87: Mo Luoqus Inheritance Chapter 87: Mo Luoqu''s Inheritance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "There are three statues?" Seeing Yan Qianyin standing unmoving by the stone wall, Mo Wuji walked over. He saw that there were three statues carved into the stone wall. Among the three statues, two of them were facing each other. The last one was slightly further, and only its side view could be seen. ¡°Do you see that below the two statues facing one another, there is a robe¡¯s hem carved into the wall?¡± Yan Qianyin quizzically asked. Mo Wuji started to examine the carvings and suddenly understood the meaning behind them, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, you''re saying that these two statues represent Zhuo Wuhen and Mo Luoqu? And the lower hem of Mo Luoqu¡¯s robe has been ripped off onto the ground, signifying the repudiation of their brotherhood?¡± [1] Yan Qianyin nodded, ¡°That should be the case. The woman by the side should be the one who caused these two friends to turn against each other, Fu Yanfei. If I''m not wrong, these statues should have been carved by Mo Luoqu when he escaped here.¡± With that, Yan Qianyin looked at the statues for a good while. Suddenly, she suggested, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, don''t you hate the founder of the Formless Blade Sect? Since you hate him, why don''t you come destroy this statue?¡± Mo Wuji stared at Yan Qianyin; after some time, he slowly said, ¡°Well it''s true that I hate him, but why must I destroy his statue? Furthermore, I only heard that story from you, and you heard the story from someone else. I only dislike him because of your story, but before confirming the facts, I will not do anything.¡± ¡°If you''re not going to do it, I will¡­¡± As Yan Qianyin was speaking, the long sword in her hand had already stabbed forward. Mo Wuji was astonished; in his astonishment, he discovered that Yan Qianyin''s target wasn''t Zhuo Wuhen, but the statue of Fu Yanfei by the side. Mo Wuji chuckled, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I thought that as a fellow woman, you would be more lenient towards Fu Yanfei.¡± ¡°I also don¡¯t like a woman with such loose morals. [2] If not for her, my Formless Blade Sect and our founder wouldn¡¯t have become the subject of people¡¯s ridicule¡­¡± ¡°You must know that flies don¡¯t hover around intact eggs; there¡¯s no smoke without a fire. If Zhuo Wuhen really fell for Fu Yanfei, then he must not have been a good egg¡­¡± ¡°Kacha!¡± The sound of destruction interrupted Mo Wuji''s words. With Yan Qianyin¡¯s sword stabbed into Fu Yanfei, the entire stone wall crumbled down. Behind the stone wall, there was a white jade platform; on that platform, there were three crystal balls. The stone wall behind the white jade platform was polished really smoothly, and on it lay a single row of words: The fated one can obtain my legacy. Bring the Fallen Tune Sword Art back to glory! ¡°So this is really the resting place for Senior Luoqu,¡± Yan Qianyin sighed before bowing towards the white jade stage. Mo Wuji also bowed to the stage; he could not help but feel admiration towards Yan Qianyin. This woman is really better than him in many ways. He really thought that she was dissatisfied with Fu Yanfei, which was why she destroyed Fu Yanfei¡¯s statue, but she was really just revealing this hidden treasure space. ¡°I''m paying my respects to a senior of the sect. Why are you bowing towards him too?¡± Seeing Mo Wuji bowing down, Yan Qianyin intentionally snided. Mo Wuji said without minding, "I am paying respects to Senior Mo. I heard that when many experts leave behind their legacies and inheritance, they would intentionally leave behind some traps. However, Senior Mo did not leave behind any trap whatsoever, demonstrating that he is a forthright and honourable person. Furthermore, I will soon be obtaining one of his treasures, it''s only right for me to pay respects to this senior." Yan Qianyin smiled slightly; she understood that Mo Wuji was reminding her not to forget his share of the inheritance. "These three crystal balls are skill transfer crystal balls. The good thing about skill transfer crystal balls is that it contains the predecessor''s insights and understanding towards a skill or technique. These insights are extremely profound, and it will not leave the inheritor confused, even if the inheritor is retarded, he will be able to completely understand the intricacies and details with this skill transfer crystal ball." Yan Qianyin only needed one look at Mo Wuji''s expression to know that he did not recognise what they were both looking at, so she took the initiative to explain. "So that''s the case. When comparing these skill transfer crystal balls to traditional manuals, they lack the inheritor''s personal enlightenment towards the technique? He will be entirely inheriting the predecessor''s insights and understanding?" Mo Wuji asked. Yan Qianyin faintly said, "You can understand it like that. But for many techniques and skills, even the most talented geniuses would not understand them in such a short period of time. Some might not even understand it after practising them for a long time." With that, Yan Qianyin no longer explained the benefits of the skill transfer crystal ball and pointed towards the first crystal ball, "There are words behind the crystal balls. The first one is the Fallen Tune Sword Art, it''s a skill. As Senior Luoqu indicated, it''s the most important sword art of his legacy." Mo Wuji''s cultivation was far beneath Yan Qianyin''s. He simply could not see the small words at the back. However, he did not intend to bring this sword art back to glory, he just wanted to find a suitable skill for himself. "The second crystal ball is for Senior Mo''s cultivation technique, so I won''t be introducing it since you won''t be interested. The third crystal ball is also a skill, it''s related to the sword as well, it''s called the Invisible Sword..." After introducing the three techniques, Yan Qianyin said to Mo Wuji sincerely, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, Senior Mo is an important part of the Formless Blade Sect''s heritage. Following our previous agreement, the Fallen Tune Sword Art should belong to you, but this sword art and the cultivation technique is far too important to me. The Invisible Sword could be considered the worst among the three crystal balls, and it might not be too useful for you, but I can only leave this technique for you." Mo Wuji was already disappointed when he found both skills were related to the sword; he was not interested in the Fallen Tune Sword Art nor the Invisible Sword. After taking such a big risk to come here, he intended to obtain an incredible skill related to lightning attacks. He did not expect that there would only be two sword arts. "It''s okay, you can just give me the Invisible Sword crystal ball." Even though he was more inclined towards the first Fallen Tune Sword Art, he actually did not mind anything. "Many thanks, junior apprentice brother Mo. When we get out, I will try to help you become a guest pill refiner, since you do not wish to be our sect''s pill refiner. That way, you do not need to formally enter the sect, and you will gain more access to our sect''s resources," Yan Qianyin gratefully said. With that, she raised her hand to grab the three crystal balls, passing the Invisible Sword over to Mo Wuji. Previously, she had made an agreement with Mo Wuji, to let him have the first pick. But now, she had picked two things and gave Mo Wuji the leftovers, causing her to feel rather apologetic in her heart. This wasn''t because she wanted to renege on the agreement, but because she did not expect that this would be the legacy of the sect''s Mo Luoqu. "Will a guest pill refiner be able to go to the Scriptures Library? Or listen in to the elders'' teachings?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask. After all, his main goal when he entered the sect is to have someone provide him with directions for his cultivation. "A guest pill refiner is a special existence in our sect. Naturally, you can enter the Scriptures Library to borrow our sect''s manuals. However, there are some limitations. A guest pill refiner cannot have access to our Formless Blade Sect''s sword techniques and sword arts." Yan Qianyin explained apologetically. "That''s enough for me. Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan." Mo Wuji hurried to express his gratitude. He did not want to be a direct disciple of the Formless Blade Sect, nor was he interested in seeing the sect''s core manuals. Thereafter, Mo Wuji placed the Invisible Sword crystal ball into his bag before passing the entire bag to Yin Qianyin, "Senior apprentice sister Yan, this parcel contains my stuff; besides the broken sword and the Invisible Sword, there are also some pills and spiritual herbs. When the time comes, i would need to trouble you to help me bring them out." As a service disciple, these things would only be gifts to other people if he were to bring them out. Yan Qianyin threw Mo Wuji''s bag into her own storage bag, "I will help you bring these things out. Actually, you are a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, you don''t need my introduction to become a guest pill refiner. So consider this as me owing you a favour, we''ll talk more about it when we get out." "How do we get out?" Mo Wuji asked. "It should have already been a month. Even if there are problems with the formation, there should only be delays of a few days; ultimately, we should still be able to leave. This time, you don''t need to worry. There wouldn''t be a problem when we''re leaving..." Yan Qianyin seemed to be reminded of something, and did not continue speaking further. Mo Wuji still had some doubts in his heart, "Following what you said previously, the Life Sucking Beast should not appear here out of the blue. Since it''s here, does this mean that someone else is in the Formless Blade Mountain? And did our formation malfunction because of this person?" Yan Qianyin said hesitantly, "That''s hard to say. If someone else did come before us, why is it that Senior Mo Luoqu''s inheritance ended up in our hands?" "Maybe that person is extremely strong, and does not even put Senior Mo''s things in his eyes..." Mo Wuji did not manage to finish before a horrifying chuckle interrupted his words, "Hehe, you''re right. Those little things of Mo Luoqu''s really do not suit my liking." ¡°Who¡¯s that!¡± Yan Qianyin suddenly turned back. [1] The Mandarin term is ¸îÅÛ¶ÏÒå which means means to rip off one¡¯s robes, and at the time get rid of past relations. [2] The author describes here as Ë®ÐÔÑ which translates to having a disposition as changeable as water. This is indicating her loose morals and fickleness. Chapter 88: Guest Pill Refiner Chapter 88: Guest Pill Refiner Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°That¡¯s my pet you just captured¡­¡± A gloomy voice sounded out. No matter how hard both Mo Wuji and Yan Qianyin looked, all they saw was the faint shadow of a lady. It was almost impossible to make out how she looked like. Mo Wuji shivered as he could feel the gloomy aura of the cave get stronger by the minute. It felt as though the air surrounding him was going to freeze even though nothing had actually changed. Yan Qianyin took out the bag which held the Life Sucking Beast in captive and said without hesitation, ¡°Senior Yanfei, forgive junior for my thoughtlessness. I had no idea that this Life Sucking Beast still belongs to someone. Junior apprentice brother Mo, we cannot stay here for any longer¡­¡± Fu Yanfei? Mo Wuji had no clue how Yan Qianyin was able to recognise who the other party was. However, Mo Wuji could tell from Yan Qianyin¡¯s eyes that she was lying blatantly but he could not figure out her real motive for doing so. ¡°Don''t bother leaving now that you¡¯re here. Didn''t that old folk Zuo Wuhen warn you that the Formless Blade Mountain is not for anyone to enter and leave as they please?¡± The shadow reached out her arm and grasped Mo Wuji¡¯s skull. Mo Wuji tried to budge but to no avail. Being grasped as well, Yan Qianyin spat out a mouthful of blood after managing to release herself before drawing and attacking with her sword. The frozen and tense air surrounding Mo Wuji appeared to have loosened a little. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, this is the most I can help you with. Hurry up and escape¡­¡± Yan Qianyin vanished after attacking with her sword. Mo Wuji did not blame Yan Qianyin for her actions because he understood the logic: Every man for themselves. This was especially true for situations like this. He knew that it would be impossible for Yan Qianyin to save him. Therefore, he truly appreciated her effort to help defrost the surrounding frozen air. Mo Wuji did not bother trying to escape with Yan Qianyin because he understood one thing: When facing a pack of chasing wolves, you don''t need to run faster than the wolves to survive; you just need to run faster than your companion. However, his companion was Yan Qianyin and he knew he could never outrun her. This applied to Yan Qianyin but not him. The fact that Yan Qianyin helped release him proved that she had ideas of saving him and not just leaving him to fend the enemy off. Perhaps Yan Qianyin knew that Mo Wuji alone could not buy much time, especially against this shadow lady. Instead of fleeing the moment he was released, Mo Wuji drew out his knife and attacked back almost immediately. ¡°Ahh¡­¡± A devastating cry was soon heard after a blue lightning bolt flew by. Mo Wuji then realised his opponent¡¯s fear of lightning bolts. Mo Wuji immediately turned 180 degrees and hurried out of the cave in the shortest possible time. The woman was so unbelievably powerful that if she were to find out Mo Wuji was only a paper tiger with that lightning bolt, it would mean the end of Mo Wuji¡¯s short life. Perhaps Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning bolt was really effective because she did not follow to retaliate even when he managed to reach the vines near the entrance of the cave. Just as Mo Wuji exited the cave, he felt an earth-shaking force tossing him into a bind. Mo Wuji became terrified thinking that this force came from the tremendously powerful woman who was chasing after him. However, as he took a glance behind him, he saw the woman just getting out of the vines at the entrance of the cave and the force could not have been from her. By the time the woman reached out her arm to try and grasp Mo Wuji again, Mo Wuji was already tossed out of the woman¡¯s sight. ¡­¡­ The force that threw Mo Wuji was so strong that he was so shocked he almost fell on his back as he landed. Mo Wuji scanned his surroundings and he immediately recognised that he was back at the same stone pavilion he was at before entering the Formless Blade Mountain Mo Wuji noticed that Yan Qianyin, Pill Master Ju and one more fellow were within the vicinity as well. 13 went in but less than a third of them made it out. Pill Master Shi was not around therefore Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that he did not survive the turmoil too. Mo Wuji felt heavy-hearted because even though Pill Master Shi¡¯s refining skills were not excellent, had poor qualifications and a very bad temper, he was a straightforward person who was not cunning at all. Yan Qianyin¡¯s eyes widened as she saw Mo Wuji making it out. The truth was that she felt so guilty the moment she realised she did not have the capability to save Mo Wuji. She did not even care about that bit of fortune Mo Wuji had with him. Pill Master Ju was unbelievably startled when he saw Mo Wuji. He could not believe that an ingredient boy like Mo Wuji could have survived the malfunction of the transporter earlier. Before anyone could speak, a group of people led by the leader of the Formless Blade Sect, Gu Ran, entered the hall. It was obvious that Gu Ran felt so relieved when he saw Yan Qianyin. He announced, ¡°The transporter malfunctioned earlier resulting in heavy losses for the Formless Blade Sect. Thankfully, out of the four who still made it out, three are pill refiners. It¡¯s a great fortune out of misfortune.¡± ¡°Sect leader, we should talk when we return to the hall,¡± An elder said after he too heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Yan Qianyin. ¡°Aren''t you Pill Master Shi¡¯s ingredients boy? How are you still alive?¡± Someone finally noticed Mo Wuji. At this moment, the sect leader¡¯s attention turned to Mo Wuji. He was wondering how Mo Wuji made it alive but because he was too focused about Yan Qianyin, he completely forgot to ask. Mo Wuji hurried to bow and said, ¡°Sect seniors, junior received tremendous help from Pill Master Yan to be able to keep my small life from being taken away.¡± Mo Wuji knew he had no rights to call Yan Qianyin senior apprentice sister in front of so many sect elders. ¡°Oh, was this true?¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Yan Qianyin. Yan Qianyin nodded, ¡°Indeed, junior apprentice brother Mo was wounded when I saw him and I offered my help. Afterwards, I found out that junior apprentice brother Mo self studied at Rao Zhou and was a pill refiner previously. Even though he has weak spiritual roots, his knowledge for pills are extraordinary. When I saw him¡­¡± Mo Wuji hurried to interrupt, ¡°Credits have to go to senior apprentice sister Yan for her patient guidance. I would never have been able to become a true pill refiner without you.¡± Yan Qianyin was suspicious over what Mo Wuji said. When she first saw him, Mo Wuji was already a Tier 1 pill refiner and was one step away from becoming a Tier 2. The fact was that she did not really provide Mo Wuji much guidance except for a few tips here and there. She did not continue to finish her sentence even though she was still confused over why Mo Wuji wanted to give her all the credits. ¡°You are a pill refiner?¡± Gu Ran looked at Mo Wuji doubtfully because he had never heard of a service disciple ingredients boy turned into a pill refiner all of a sudden. Yan Qianyi replied on Mo Wuji¡¯s behalf, ¡°Yes he is. Sect leader, Mo Wuji is not only a pill refiner, he is as good as a Tier 2 pill refiner. I certainly did guide him a little and I am sure he can advance to become a Tier 2 pill refiner. The most important factor is his talent for pill refining, for I think he may even have talent than me. Thinking of what Mo Wuji said earlier, Yan Qianyin took the initiative to claim the credit of Mo Wuji¡¯s progression to become as good as a Tier 2 pill refiner. ¡°So this is how it is,¡± Gu Ran¡¯s both eyes lit up after hearing what Yan Qianyin said, ¡°So Wuji turns out to be a Tier 2 pill refiner. Qianyin, why don''t we make Wuji an official Formless Blade Sect pill refiner¡­¡± Pill Master Ju, who had been not very pleased with Mo Wuji, was made even more unpleasant after hearing this. He could not believe he now had to be on level terms with an ex-ingredients boy. The moment Mo Wuji become a Tier 2 pill refiner, he would no longer have any reason to pick on Mo Wuji anymore. Yan Qianyin decided to add in, ¡°Even though junior apprentice brother Mo is as good as a Tier 2 pill refiner who has extraordinary talent for pill refinery, his spiritual roots aren¡¯t very good¡­¡± Before Yan Qianyin could finish her sentence, Pill Master Ju thought of something and interrupted abruptly, ¡°Sect leader, senior apprentice sister is right. Junior apprentice brother Mo was previously only an ingredients boy therefore, his cultivation capabilities must be pretty low. To succeed as a pill refiner, one must have both the talent for pill refinery as well as good cultivation capabilities. One will not be able to progress to the next level if his cultivation capabilities are too low. Therefore, why should the sect allow such a person to join us a pill refiner? It will only affect our reputation negatively¡­¡± The sect leader of the Formless Blade Sect calmed himself down to consider. The sect will put in tremendous amount of resources in nurturing their own pill refiners. What good is there for the sect if they were to recruit a pill refiner who is not able to advance further? ¡°Sect leader, I suggest it would be the most appropriate for us to let Pill Master Mo become a guest pill refiner instead,¡± Yan Qianyin added. Even Pill Master Ju was happy with this suggestion because he knew the vast difference between the resources received as an official pill refiner and a guest pill refiner. Other than talent, the most important thing for a pill refiner to advance would be resources. Without pill refinery resources, what¡¯s the point of having talent? Gu Ran and the other elders sighed as they heard Yan Qianyin¡¯s words.Yan Qianyin may have prodigious talent for pill refinery but she was definitely lacking in EQ. Even if it was her wish to make Mo Wuji a guest pill refiner, she should not have said it straight in front of him. This would make Mo Wuji lose his gratitude for her. Now that Yan Qianyin mentioned it out loud, Gu Ran had no choice other than to ask, ¡°Pill master Mo, are you willing to join us and become a guest pill refiner at the Formless Blade Sect?¡± To become Formless Blade Sect¡¯s guest refiner was what Mo Wuji and Yan Qianyin agreed initially. Now that the sect leader asked him, Mo Wuji replied without any hesitation, ¡°Thank you for your kind invite, I would be more than willing to join as a Formless Blade Sect guest refiner.¡± The sect leader and the elders exchanged glances before concluding that a service disciple was indeed much easier to deal with. Chapter 89: The Brutes That Came Knocking On Our Door Chapter 89: The Brutes That Came Knocking On Our Door Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, congratulations. I don¡¯t really have much to give you as an congratulatory gift, so these spiritual herbs will do.¡± Yan Qianyin took out a parcel and passed it to Mo Wuji. ¡°Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan.¡± Mo Wuji hurriedly received the parcel. This was the exact bag that he had asked Yan Qianyin to help him safekeep. There were the pills that he had refined, the broken sword, and the skill transfer crystal ball. With the parcel in hand, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Yan Qianyin could openly say that she was giving him spiritual ingredients, which undoubtedly were from the Formless Blade Mountain. However, he dared not even bring a single pill out. This was the difference in ability, level, and position between them. ¡°Pill Master Mo, if you have any requests, just approach the Pill Refiner''s Hall to bring them up.¡± Gu Ran warmly approached Mo Wuji, and treated him with exceptional respect. Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of Gu Ran was quite good. But he knew that while this sect head of the Formless Blade Sect was rather decent, the sect head¡¯s main objective of treating him this nicely was to encourage him to toil harder for the sect, and refine many pills in the future. Mo Wuji thanked the sect head once again, ¡°Thank you sect head for your concern, I will retire to my accommodation now as I am quite tired.¡± Although he was now a guest pill refiner, the Formless Blade Sect definitely had many things to discuss that would be of no concern to a guest pill refiner. So he left as soon as possible, knowing his place. ¡­ In his heart, Mo Wuji was very anxious to see Yan¡¯Er after being separated from her for a month. He did not know her current condition, hence returning to the Blood Lotus Lake as fast as possible after bidding the various elders farewell. ¡°Young master Mo, you¡¯re back.¡± Xiong Xiuzhu welcomed Mo Wuji with a deep bow. She had picked up Yan¡¯Er¡¯s habit for calling him young master. ¡°Yan¡¯Er is still doing fine right?¡± Mo Wuji hurriedly asked Xiong Xiuzhu quickly followed up with a nod, ¡°Miss Yan¡¯Er is doing very well, here she is right now¡­¡± As Xiong Xiuzhu was speaking, Mo Wuji saw Yan¡¯Er holding the earthly yellow egg that he brought back from the Seven Edged Sea. Step by step she walked closer towards the Blood Lotus Lake. Perhaps because the egg was given to her by Mo Wuji, it was not simply a toy to her, but something he entrusted her with. And perhaps it was also a natural sense of closeness that made Yan¡¯Er cutely stand at Mo Wuji¡¯s side when she arrived. Upon observing that colour which had returned to Yan¡¯Er¡¯s face, and that her body had developed significantly, he felt even more satisfied with Xiong Xiuzhu¡¯s care, as this showed that she looked after Yan¡¯Er very well. ¡°You did a good job,¡± Mo Wuji praised her satisfactorily. This elicited a quick bow from Xiong Xiuzhu, ¡°Thank you Young Master for taking me in, I¡¯ve been doing much better here than before. Please drink a cup of water first young master.¡± These words that came from Xiong Xiuzhu¡¯s mouth were no lies, her complexion had become much fairer and her hands were not as calloused as a month before. She immediately went to pour a cup of water for Mo Wuji to welcome his return. ¡°Haha, how shameless can you get, a mere service disciple calling himself Young Master¡­¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The cup in Xiong Xiuzhu¡¯s hands fell to the ground once she heard this voice. Mo Wuji could even see her shadow slightly trembling, then retracting to his back. It was apparent how fearful she was of this voice¡¯s owner. Lifting his head, Mo Wuji saw two men strolling over along the edge of the Blood Lotus Lake. One of them he knew very well: Deacon of the service disciples, Wu Kai. Wu Kai seemed to be giving advice to the other guy non-stop, but he received no form of response. When Wu Kai finally noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s presence, he quickly took a few steps forward to speak to Mo Wuji, ¡°Brother Mo, so you¡¯ve returned.¡± Someone like Wu Kai was not in the position to be privy of information like the transfer formation of the Formless Blade Mountain glitching out, so all he knew was that Mo Wuji earned the favour of Pill Master Shi and became his ingredients boy. A light nod from Mo Wuji followed, before he turned his gaze towards the man that insulted him. This man had a typical triangular set of eyes, with decent looks. But those eyes made his appearance worse on so many levels. ¡°A service disciple dares call himself Young Master after getting acquainted with Wu Kai. Heh, if that¡¯s the case then I¡¯ll be calling myself king.¡± The triangle eyed man followed up with another sentence, seeing that Mo Wuji had no response. With Xiong Xiuzhu¡¯s previous response, Mo Wuji could roughly guess who this guy was. If he didn¡¯t guess wrongly, this triangle eyed man should be the one who broke Tao Ao¡¯s legs. ¡°Brother Mo, this guy is a disciple related to the Fire Sword Summit Lord, Cang Wenbin.¡± Wu Kai quickly explained, fearing that Mo Wuji would shoot his mouth off and offend the triangle eyed guy. Even though Mo Wuji was favoured by Pill Master Shi, but compared to Cang Wenbin, he was still slightly inferior. After all, he was just an ingredient boy, so no matter what happened, Pill Master Shi would not risk it all by confronting the Fire Sword Summit Lord. After speaking to Mo Wuji, Wu Kai swiftly turned around to explain to the triangle eyed man, ¡°Master Cang, this is Mo Wuji. He''s greatly favoured by Pill Master Shi and is currently working under Pill Master Shi.¡± The intention behind these words was to let Cang Wenbin have some fear, and restrain himself a little. ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re actually an ingredient boy.¡± Cang Wenbin sarcastically remarked, before his face turned black, ¡°A lowly ingredient boy should just screw off to one side. I¡¯m not here for you today.¡± Cang Wenbin was likely here as Mo Wuji had taken in Xiong Xiuzhu and her husband, and he was very unhappy about it. But this fact puzzled Mo Wuji. Logically speaking, even if Mr and Mrs Tao Ao did offend Cang Wenbin, he should not have continued to bother himself with people of their level after breaking Tao Ao¡¯s legs. However, not only did he still care about it, he also chased them to the Blood Lotus Lake. ¡°Master Cang, we¡¯ve already passed you those things, Tao Ao¡¯s two legs were also shattered by you for being too talkative, so please I beg you, let us go.¡± Xiong Xiuzhu collapsed onto the ground kneeling. Cang Wenbin¡¯s expression immediately changed, ¡°Those things, what things? What would an outer disciple of an Earth Sect want from a mere servicemaid?¡± To this, Xiong Xiuzhu slammed her head against the ground, repeatedly saying, ¡°Sorry master, I made that up. Please forgive me.¡± ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll forgive you, as long as you bring that broken legged bugger that you call your husband with you and follow me.¡± Cang Wenbin snorted, and a fierce look flashed through his triangle shaped eyes. Through his recent research, his gut feeling told him that the things that he took from Xiong Xiuzhu were not ordinary, hence the idea of erasing anyone who knew about it from the face of the earth crept into his head. Once she heard that he wanted her to leave with him, Xiong Xiuzhu felt weak all over. If she left with him it was very likely that she would die, but she also knew that Mo Wuji would be implicated if she remained here. ¡°Yes Master, we¡¯ll leave with you immediately¡­¡± Xiong Xiuzhu replied with a faltering voice. ¡°Wait up.¡± Mo Wuji did not bother about anything that Cang Wenbin did, but only stepped in when Xiong Xiuzhu was about to leave. ¡°Miss Xiong, you¡¯re now a guest of mine, so how could you just leave like that? Also, when I was not around, did this triangle eyed guy come to harass you before?¡± ¡°He...he¡­¡± Xiong Xiuzhu¡¯s teeth chattered in fear, not knowing how to reply Mo Wuji at all. In reality, when Mo Wuji was away, Cang Wenbin had dropped by once, but for some reason he was chased away before he could say anything. ¡°Die you!¡± Cang Wenbin swung his hand towards Mo Wuji¡¯s face. With a small sidestep and a snap of his wrist, Mo Wuji threw a slap out, which hit squarely on Cang Wenbin¡¯s face. Although Cang Wenbin had spirit roots, they were of poor quality. All he did was ride on the name of his senior uncle to barely scrape through to Channel Opening Level 2. Even if he had his guard up for Mo Wuji¡¯s counter attack, he would still not be able to avoid that slap. What¡¯s more he didn¡¯t guard against it at all. The slap connected perfectly with his face, and while his head deformed and twisted to one side, multiple teeth and a spray of blood flew out of his mouth. The momentum of Mo Wuji¡¯s hand then threw him far away. Wu Kai was stunned. Mo Wuji actually slapped Cang Wenbin with such force that he blasted off. He even made Cang Wenbin lose a few teeth. Things didn¡¯t look good¡­ Chapter 90: A Steel Pole Chapter 90: A Steel Pole Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "You..." Cang Wenbin pointed at Mo Wuji in anger, he was in such shock that he forgot that he should be getting up to teach this Mo Wuji a lesson. After all, in his time in the Formless Blade Sect, he had never encountered such an incident where a mere service disciple actually acted against him. Mo Wuji took a few steps forward, with a few lingering fears clouding his mind. Luckily, this fella left without doing anything much when he visited the first time around. If Yan''Er actually got injured or ended up disabled, it would be too late for Mo Wuji to regret. This incident was actually a wake up call: No matter where he would be going in the future, he would need to bring Yan''Er along. Seeing that Mo Wuji intended to act once more, Wu Kai hurriedly shouted, "Brother Mo, please don''t continue hitting him. You would only be harming yourself ah..." If the Fire Sword Summit Lord got angered, even with Shi Jun protecting him, Mo Wuji would not escape death. Mo Wuji''s death would not mean much to Wu Kai, but Wu Kai did invest some time into developing their relationship after all. "You dare hit me..." Cang Wenbin finally came back to his senses, pointing at Mo Wuji with such anger that even his face had turned green. It was an extremely disgraceful affair to be beaten by a service disciple. "Deacon Wu, if not for this fella being called away previously, who knows what would have happened to Yan''Er. You tell me, should I hit him or not?" Mo Wuji''s expression was ugly. If not for Wu Kai''s help towards Yan''Er, he would not have bothered explaining to Wu Kai. Wu Kai hurriedly explained softly, "The first time around, I saw him coming for Xiong Xiuzhu, so I rushed to inform Qin Xiangyu. That time around, it was Qin Xiangyu who helped. I''m not sure how she did it, but Cang Wenbin didn''t do anything. This time, I also tried to find Qin Xiangyu but I couldn''t find her in the sect." Mo Wuji finally made sense of the situation. No wonder why nothing had happened the first time around; he really needed to express his gratitude to Qin Xiangyu. He only casually helped her previously, but she came and repaid him with such a huge favour. "Deacon Wu, many thanks," Mo Wuji patted Wu Kai''s shoulder. It didn''t matter why Wu Kai helped him to inform Qin Xiangyu; Mo Wuji was extremely grateful for his act. Wu Kai wanted to reply with some words of courtesy but something seemed to catch his eye; a man wearing a deacon attire was rushing over. Wu Kai recognised that man, he was the deacon for the Pill Refiner''s Hall, Yuan Qi. Even though they were both deacons, Wu Kai simply could not even catch the eye of Yuan Qi. Without knowing why Yuan Qi had come over, Wu Kai hurried to bow by the side, "Deacon Wu greets Deacon Yuan." Yuan Qi nodded slightly before clasping his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Greetings Pill Master Mo. I have arrived with Pill Master Mo''s identity token and guest pill refiner robes. Also, when Pill Master Mo is free, you can go to the Hall of Affairs to take a look at the sword summits for your new residences." Mo Wuji did not expect the response to be so fast; he returned for less than an hour but everything had already arrived neatly. ¡°Many thanks Deacon Yuan.¡± Mo Wuji hurried to keep his items. He was so daring as to slap Cang Wenbin wasn''t because of his relations to the now dead Pill Master Shi, but because he had already become a guest pill refiner. ¡°Bro¡­¡± Wu Kai retracted his words as he saw the identity token in Mo Wuji''s hand, ¡°... You''re a guest pill refiner?¡± Wu Kai was going to address Mo Wuji as ¡°Brother¡±, but he hastily swallowed down the ¡°ther¡±. A guest pill refiner is an existence far above a deacon in charge of service disciples. No wonder why Mo Wuji wasn''t afraid of Cang Wenbin. If he was a guest pill refiner, he also wouldn''t have feared Cang Wenbin. As he thought of this, Wu Kai could not help but celebrate in his heart. Fortunately, he had helped Mo Wuji and helped call Qin Xiangyu to block Cang Wenbin. Cang Wenbin, who had already picked himself up, had a dumb expression on his face. Since Mo Wuji was a guest pill refiner, why would he be afraid of this fox assuming the majesty of a tiger? He had always been relying on the fact that the Fire Sword Summit Lord was his senior uncle to act as he wished. However, if something actually happens, it would not be easy for him to seek an audience with his senior uncle. He stealthily took a few steps back, preparing to make his escape. However, Mo Wuji coldly snorted, ¡°You think you can just leave?¡± Cang Wenbin hurried and bowed, ¡°Pill Master Mo, this small disciple did not know that you are a guest pill refiner. Regarding my previous mistake, I hope that you will pardon it. At the same time, I will not let this matter end up in my senior uncle¡¯s ears.¡± The last sentence was a reminder for Mo Wuji: My senior uncle is from the Fire Sword Summit. Don¡¯t go too far. Mo Wuji faintly said, ¡°Whether you inform your senior uncle doesn''t matter to me. Xiong Xiuzhu and her husband are working for me. This is not your face time acting arrogantly at my residences. You even took Tao Ao''s things and broke both his legs. Do you think I would just forget about this?" Previously, Mo Wuji truly did not have the power to help Tao Ao seek justice. Furthermore, he was not related to Tao Ao, so there wasn''t a need for him to offend others because of Tao Ao. However, it''s different now; Xiong Xiuzhu had been very meticulous and thoughtful in caring for Yan''Er. Moreover, the fact that Cang Wenbin had come to his residence to cause trouble more than once was already an issue. Most importantly, he did not need to fear Cang Wenbin. "Pill Master Mo, do you want me to take him to the Enforcement Hall?" Yuan Qi suggested after roughly understanding the gist of the situation. Mo Wuji was a pill refiner, and it''s said that Mo Wuji''s relationship with Yan Qianyin was not bad. As a deacon for the Pill Refiner''s Hall, there''s nothing to lose from forming good relations with Mo Wuji. "I''m willing to compensate for the couple''s losses." Hearing that Yuan Qi was interfering with this matter, Cang Wenbin hurried to say. Mo Wuji turned towards Xiong Xiuzhu and asked, "Big sister Xiong, what did he take from you?" Xiong Xiuzhu was at loss and did not fully understand the situation. Wasn''t Mo Wuji a mere service disciple who had relatively good relations with Deacon Wu? How did he become a guest pill refiner? She only returned to her senses when Mo Wuji asked her that question. However, her eyes still contained a trace of fear as she did not dare face Cang Wenbin. "Just say it. He will not come back here in the future, " Mo Wuji said encouragingly. Ultimately, Xiong Xiuzhu settled down. She understood that she had already offended Cang Weibin, and now was not the time to keep silent. Thinking about this, she said flatly, "This person took the steel pole which my father left for me." "I will immediately return it, immediately..." Cang Wenbin said anxiously as he hurriedly stumbled out. "Pill Master Mo, I will take my leave. When Pill Master Mo finds a sword summit, immediately inform me, I will help build your immortal cave for you." Seeing the incident coming to a conclusion, Yuan Qi politely took his leave. Wu Kai''s heart was like boiling water, rolling endlessly. He had far too many questions which he did not dare ask Mo Wuji. After all, Mo Wuji''s status had changed drastically and he did not have the qualifications to ask Mo Wuji those questions. "Pill Master Mo... I will also take my leave. If you need anything, feel free to instruct me." Wu Kai also hurried to take his leave. Even though he did not like Wu Kai''s personality, Mo Wuji still felt grateful towards him. "Wu Kai, I owe you a favour. If you need me to concoct a pill, I can help you once." "Many thanks Pill Master Mo!" Wu Kai thanked Mo Wuji agitatedly. It was not a simple matter to get a pill refiner''s promise to concoct pills. Chapter 91: Revolving Star Passage Technique Chapter 91: Revolving Star Passage Technique Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Formless Blade Sect''s outer disciple Cang Wenbin''s residences was in great disorder. Whatever could be broken was already wrecked and destroyed. Cang Wenbin, whose face was as swollen as a steamed bun, had eyes full of hatred and unwillingness. ¡°Young master, you''re really going to return that item?¡± By Cang Wenbin''s side, there was a middle-aged man in long robes. When Cang Wenbin entered the Formless Blade Sect, this man was sent by the Cang House to be Cang Wenbin''s attendant. Cang Wenbin gritted his teeth and said, ¡°What else can I do? Uncle Qianxing is at Fire Sword Summit. If there''s nothing major, it would be hard for me to even see him, much less ask him to help me out.¡± The middle-aged man spoke in a lowered voice, ¡°Young master, I do have an idea. Doesn¡¯t the young master think that the steel pole is not so simple? Why don''t we simply send the steel pole to Summit Lord Qianxing, and when that tiny service disciple comes looking for it, we will direct him to Summit Lord Qianxing. Then if he still insists of having it, he would only be looking for death.¡± Cang Wenbin''s eyes lit up, but that glister immediately disappeared as he shook his head and said, ¡°Do you understand my senior uncle''s status? It''s better if we don''t do harm with other''s hands. Furthermore, that Mo Wuji is an extremely ruthless person. If we don''t send the pole in time, he may be angered and come to screw me over. This plan is far too dangerous.¡± The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, ¡°Actually, I have another idea. We will first send the pole to that service disciple, then we will somehow inform Summit Lord Qianxing about this. Tell him that you found an impressive smithing material and you were going to present it to him as a gift. Unfortunately, it was forcefully taken away by Mo Wuji that service disciple.¡± Cang Wenbin stroked the area which Mo Wuji slapped, ¡°Very well, we¡¯ll follow that plan. Immediately send the steel pole to that puny service disciple. Let''s see how he handles my senior uncle''s anger.¡± ¡­ After not seeing Yan¡¯Er for a month, Mo Wuji had an endless amount of things to say to her. He hoped that this would help Yan¡¯Er recollect her past memories. It was practically him speaking and Yan¡¯Er listening. When Mo Wuji spoke, Yan¡¯Er would listen silently with a peaceful expression and gentleness in her eyes. This was unlike when Xiong Xiuzhu speaks to her. ¡°Young master, that Cang Wenbin has sent the thing over,¡± Xiong Xiuzhu called out. Mo Wuji stood up and said to Yan¡¯Er, ¡°Yan''Er, I have to do some research. Go outside and take a stroll. When you''re tired, you can go take a nap.¡± Even though Yan''Er didn''t reply him, Mo Wuji knew that Yan''Er understood his words. Seeing Yan''Er go out, Mo Wuji turned towards Xiong Xiuzhu, ¡°Big sister Xiong, this thing belongs to your family; keep it for yourself. I will be doing some research now, if there''s nothing important, try not to disturb me.¡± ¡°Many thanks young master. Tao Ao and I must have done many good deeds in our previous life to have come under your protection. Since Tao Ao and I don''t practise martial arts, nor do we have spiritual roots, this steel pole is useless to us. We wish to give it to the young master.¡± As Xiong Xiuzhu was speaking, she was also dragging the steel pole into the room. Mo Wuji did not mind; a steel pole did not mean much and accepting it could help put Xiong Xiuzhu at ease. However, seeing Xiong Xiuzhu dragging the pole in with great difficulty, he could tell that this steel pole wasn''t simple. This steel pole was roughly the height of a person and was as thick as a baby''s fist. As a person who frequently did heavy, menial work, shouldn''t it have been easy for Xiong Xiuzhu to bring the pole in? However, it obviously looked like she was facing some difficulty doing that. Unless this pole was made of some amazing material? Maybe that''s why Cang Wenbin coveted it? Thinking about this, Mo Wuji said aloud, ¡°Then I will have to thank big sister Xiong; I will keep this steel pole then. When I''m doing my research, I would like to request big sister Xiong to help me take care of Yan''Er. If anything happens, immediately inform me.¡± ¡°Yes. Young master can be rest assured that I will take good care of Yan''Er.¡± It really turned out like what Mo Wuji expected; when he accepted the steel pole, Xiong Xiuzhu became elated and left with an energetic expression. As Mo Wuji grabbed the pole, an icy cold feeling permeated into his hand. As he lifted the pole, he estimated that it weighed roughly 100 kilograms. If not for the fact that he cultivated, it would have been extremely difficult for him to lift the pole. There were some faint lines on the surface of the steel pole. The lines seemed to form two words. Mo Wuji squinted his eyes and identified the words: ¡®Tian Ji¡¯ Tian Ji? If not for the fact that this world was not related to the Weapon Chart, and that the Weapon Chart was a part of a writer''s novel, Mo Wuji would have thought that this was the Weapon Chart''s number one weapon - the Tian Ji Pole. [1] Besides the words ''Tian Ji¡¯ and the immense weight of the pole, there was no further peculiarities with it. After another close examination Mo Wuji placed it at a corner. He wasn''t a weaponsmith, so this pole did not have much value to him. If he was a weaponsmith, at least he could melt this pole down to examine its materials. After placing the steel pole down, Mo Wuji opened his own bag. The bag contained his harvests from his trip to the Formless Blade Mountain, which was also the first resources he obtained since he started cultivating. All his Tier 1 Mortal Pills, and the spirit stones he scavenged from the Tier 3 pill refiner were all there. The broken sword and the skill transfer crystal ball were also tucked inside safely. Furthermore, there were even some additional Tier 2 spiritual herbs and a thin beastskin scroll. As Mo Wuji unrolled the scroll, he could see that there were multiple Tier 2 pill formulas written in it. This was probably added into his bag by Yan Qianyin. She probably felt like she owed him, and wanted to use these items to reimburse him. He did not know how Yan Qianyin thought of it, but these items were extremely suitable for Mo Wuji. The next thing which Mo Wuji touched wasn''t the skill transfer crystal ball, but the broken blade. This broken blade was originally part of Mo Luoqu¡¯s treasured sword. According to Yan Qianyin''s logic and his own observations, Mo Luoqu should have met his end at the Formless Blade Mountain after being betrayed by his lover. Mo Wuji felt a strange sense of kinship and similarity to Mo Luoqu. Thus, he was going to clean this broken sword before framing it in a nice wooden box. Not only would it be an act of remembrance but also a reminder to always be on guard. The fracture on the Fallen Tune Sword looked rather smooth, but after corrosion of time, it was rusty and mottled. As Mo Wuji pulled out his short knife to scrape the rust away, he discovered that there was a small crack in the sword. He started to use a greater force to work his way with the crack, causing it become bigger, and he pulled out an extremely thin piece of silk paper from the crack. More accurately, it shouldn''t be called paper. This material was similar to the pages of the wordless pill manual; it was extremely tough. Mo Wuji slowly unfolded the silk, and it actually turned out to be 1 metre long and 50 centimetres wide. There were countless minute words etched on it, and it there even clear images The minute words looked to be a mnemonic chant and the images seemed to correspond to the chants while in cultivation. This broken blade actually hid a secret technique; however, it still wasn''t clear whether it was a cultivation technique or a skill. Mo Wuji guessed that even Mo Luoqu did not know about this hidden technique. Even if he did, it was only after he ended up at the Formless Blade Mountain. On the top left hand corner of the silk, there were four relatively larger words: Revolving Star Passage Technique. Mo Wuji was speechless; when he first transmigrated to this world, his circumstances were like Murong Fu. Now, even the skill he obtained had the same name as the one practised by Murong Fu. However, that Murong Fu was a mere fictional character ah¡­ How could there be such a situation which really caused one''s balls to hurt. There was no way that Sir Jin would have based Murong Fu off an actual person, right? [2] Casting these thoughts aside, Mo Wuji could not help but admit that the Revolving Star Passage Technique was the most impressive one among all the martial arts. What Nine Yin True Scriptures? What Nine Yang Sacred Art? What Nine Swords of Dugu? What Qiankun Great Shift Technique? [3] In Mo Wuji''s eyes, these martial arts could not compare to the Revolving Star Passage Technique. Mo Wuji wasn''t sure how many levels there were in the Revolving Star Passage Technique, but Mo Wuji knew that when Murong Fu was merely at its first level, he was already comparable to Qiao Feng [4]. The only reason why Murong Fu was not as acclaimed as Qiao Feng was because he put all his effort into restoring his country. According to Murong Fu¡¯s words, ¡°In my clan''s practise of the Revolving Star Passage Technique, my brother reached the ''Big Dipper Shift¡¯ level, my father reached the ¡®Solitary Dreamstar¡¯ level, while the creator - Patriarch Longcheng - reached the peak of the ''Meteoric Starwave¡¯ level, and ultimately attained the peerless ¡®Heaven¡¯s Magic Star¡¯ level¡­¡± This Revolving Star Passage Technique which appeared in Mo Luoqu''s sword¡­ There''s no way that it was the same technique created by by Murong Longcheng. [5] Mo Wuji started reading it, ¡°Life originated from chaotic energy. Energy breeds essence; essence breeds spirit; spirit breeds clarity. With the energy of Yin and Yang, convert it to essence; convert essence to spirit before converting spirit to clarity. Forming spirit with energy, would cause essence to lose its shape. Training in these three, would be more natural and waste less effort¡­ Cultivators are governed by the law of Yin and Yang as well as the fates of numeracy. These laws hold the entire Qiankun. The spirit is a vehicle; energy is a horse. With energy and spirit together, one can be successful..." How was this a martial art technique? This was simply a cultivation technique. That''s not right, this should be a skill. As he read further, ¡°This manual is split into four word stages: Dou, Zhuan, Xing, Yi. (These are the hanyu pinyin characters of Revolving Star Passage Technique) There are four levels in the Dou Stage: Nature''s Shift, Big Dipper Shift, Solitary Dreamstar and Meteoric Starwave. In the Zhuan Stage, there are also four levels: Heaven''s Magic Star, Eternal Convergence, Midnight Revolution and finally Qiankun Upheaval.¡± [6] Mo Wuji exhaled strongly; as expected, this technique truly didn''t have any links to Murong Longcheng''s technique. According to Murong Fu, the Murong Clan''s highest realm was the first level of the Zhuan Stage: Heaven''s Magic Star. Being able to reach the ''Heaven¡¯s Magic Star¡¯ level would already put you at the pinnacle of the martial world. --- [1] The Tian Ji Pole and the Weapon Chart are from the acclaimed ¹ÅÁú Gu Long''s wuxia novels. The Tian Ji Pole was the weapon of the Old Man Tian Ji. [2] The Sir Jin referred to here is Jin Yong, the author of famous works such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes. [3] These are powerful martial arts from Jin Yong''s wuxia novels [4] Another character from Jin Yong''s novels. [5] Take note that Murong Longcheng and Murong Fu are different people. [6] Qiankun refers to the great Heavens and Earths Chapter 92: Lotus Sword Summit Chapter 92: Lotus Sword Summit Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: When he initially obtained this Revolving Star Passage Technique, Mo Wuji was extremely ecstatic. However, after sweeping through it and noticing that were only the two Dou and Zhuan Stages, he knew that this technique was incomplete. These two word stages resided in the broken sword''s blade. If Mo Wuji guessed correctly, the Xing and Yi Stages should be in the sword hilt. According to Yan Qianyin, this other half of the sword should be at the Formless Blade Sect''s Hanging Sword Cliff. As Mo Wuji folded the thin silk in his hand, his gaze landed upon the sect¡¯s Hanging Sword Cliff. Since he had obtained the Revolving Star Passage Technique, he needed to complete it. Regardless of the trouble, he would make a trip to the Hanging Sword Cliff and get the other two word stages from the other half of the Fallen Tune Sword. To secretly procure the skill from the sword, he would need to change locations. Even though the Blood Lotus Lake was quiet, it wasn''t a convenient place to act. ... When Mo Wuji entered the Hall of Affairs, many people revealed an expression of envy. Even the few inner disciples were also envious of Mo Wuji. After all, these inner disciples could not get their own personal sword summit like Mo Wuji. This was due to the unique status of pill refiners, albeit Mo Wuji was a mere Tier 2 Mortal Refiner. ¡°Pill Master Mo¡­¡± When the disciple from the Spiritual Herbs Warehouse - Fei Bingzhu - saw Mo Wuji, he loudly called out from afar; his voice contained a hint of reverence. Mo Wuji walked over and patted his shoulders as he said, ¡°Brother Fei, I''m still Mo Wuji. We''re all friends so let''s remain at ease with one another.¡± Fei Bingzhu laughed heartily, ¡°I always knew that senior apprentice brother Mo was different from others. Even though that''s the case, I hope that senior apprentice brother Mo can simply address me as your junior apprentice brother. Within the sect, there''s still a need to maintain seniority.¡± ¡°OK then, I will call you junior apprentice brother Fei in the future.¡± Mo Wuji had never liked people who used mincing words; he was always a straightforward person. When making friends, he had never cared about status. This was like Yan Qianyin; she did not seem to have bothered about status when she helped a mere service disciple like him. In actuality, Mo Wuji was more willing to call Fei Bingzhu by his name. However, this wasn''t the case for Fei Bingzhu; after all, in Fei Bingzhu''s eyes, Mo Wuji was at an extremely high and lofty position. Moreover, his relationship with Fei Bingzhu wasn''t like his relationships with Ding Bu''Er and Yuan Zhenyi. ¡°Is senior apprentice brother Mo looking for a sword summit to stay in?¡± After working in the Hall of Affairs for a long time, Fei Bingzhu''s observations have naturally become more astute. Mo Wuji did not say anything but he had already guessed the reason for Mo Wuji''s visit. Mo Wuji did indeed come to find a sword summit. After he heard Fei Bingzhu''s words, he casually asked, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Fei, you understand more about the sect than me. Which of the uninhabited sword summits are not bad?¡± ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s Seventh Sword Summit. Seventh Sword Summit is one of the Formless Blade Sect''s Ten Great Sword Summits. Ever since the previous summit lord, Ju Qijian [1], went to the Heaven Seeking Palace, the Seventh Sword Summit has always been sitting idly. The spiritual energy there is extremely rich, and it is extremely suitable for cultivation and pill refinement.¡± Fei Bingzhu seemed to instantly blurt that out. ¡°What kind of place is the Heaven Seeking Palace? That Ju Qijian is one of the sect''s summit lords, why doesn''t he have to return after going to the Heaven Seeking Palace?¡± Mo Wuji asked puzzledly. Fei Bingzhu shook his head and said, ¡°I don''t know much about it; I only know that the Heaven Seeking Palace is one of the most sacred places within the five empires. It''s a place where experts go to seek the Heaven Realm. I heard that all the Heaven Realm experts in the five empires all emerged from the Heaven Seeking Palace. Every sect''s most outstanding disciples have the right to qualify for the Heaven Seeking Palace, and any of these disciples who actually qualify to enter it was a source of pride for the sect¡­¡± At this point, Fei Bingzhu lowered his voice, ¡°Let me tell you something ah¡­ I heard that the five empires are no longer fighting wars and decided to compete through pill refining competitions was due to the behest of the Heaven Seeking Palace.¡± Mo Wuji did not ask further as he recalled Earth''s Tsinghua and Peking University, he could actually liken this Heaven Seeking Palace as an elite institute for higher learning. ¡°Tell me more about this Seventh Sword Summit. If it''s really that good, I will just move there.¡± Mo Wuji re-concentrated his efforts into find a sword summit. Fei Bingzhu immediately spouted, ¡°The Seventh Sword Summit Lord Ju Qijian was a peerless existence. His original name was Ju Jia. He only changed his name to Ju Qijian after moving to the Seventh Sword Summit [1]. He was a great genius of our sect, not only did he become a summit lord in a short period of time, he also became an expert comparable to our sect''s elders and sect head. He competed in the previous selection for the Heaven Seeking Palace. In those few days, he carved a bloody path and killed his way to qualify for the Heaven Seeking Palace¡­¡± Towards the end, Mo Wuji could notice that Fei Bingzhu seemed to have some hesitations, like there were some words he did not wish to say. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Fei, we''re already considered friends, why is there a need to hesitate? If there''s anything you wish to say, just say it.¡± Mo Wuji said immediately. Fei Bingzhu looked around at the surroundings before whispering the Mo Wuji, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, even though Seventh Sword Summit is really good, after some thought, I feel it''s better that you don''t go.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mo Wuji asked curiously. Fei Bingzhu''s volume got even lower, ¡°Even though Summit Lord Ju is gone, his name remains. I heard that someone else picked the Seventh Sword Summit, and Summit Lord Ju returned back unhappily. Thereafter, the elder who picked that sword summit disappeared without a trace. Of course, these are only rumours but there''s always some truth within rumours. Moreover, many people in the sect worship Summit Lord Ju. Once you choose Seventh Sword Summit, it will immediately end up in Summit Lord Ju¡¯s ears.¡± Mo Wuji chuckled, ¡°He has already left but he''s still so tyrannical?¡± Fei Bingzhu laughed dryly but did not reply. ¡°Pill Master Mo is here? If Pill Master Mo wishes to pick a sword summit, please follow me.¡± Pill Refiner''s Hall''s Deacon Yuan called out from afar. ¡°Then I will have to thank Deacon Yuan. I was just intending to take a look at Seventh Sword Summit,¡± Mo Wuji answered remotely. Fei Bingzhu continued to whisper, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, if you don''t have high requirements for spiritual energy, then I would suggest Lotus Sword Summit. The previous summit lord was Guan Li, and he also previously stayed in your Blood Lotus Lake. There''s only one weakness to the Lotus Sword Summit, and that''s because it''s too close to the Hanging Sword Cliff. As a result, the spiritual energy there is a little weaker. It''s good enough for normal people, but it wouldn''t be enough for Spirit Building Stage cultivators and above¡­¡± At the moment, Yuan Qi was already approaching and Fei Bingzhu immediately shut his mouth. Fei Bingzhu seemed to have a deep understanding towards Lotus Sword Summit. If not for Yuan Qi coming over, he might have talked for a good half a day. Mo Wuji patted Fei Bingzhu, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Fei, I¡¯ll go choose my sword summit first. We''ll talk in the future.¡± Yuan Qi said smilingly to Mo Wuji, ¡°Pill Master Mo, do you want me to bring you over to Seventh Sword Summit?¡± After hearing that Lotus Sword Summit was near to the Hanging Sword Cliff, Mo Wuji was already inclined to it. He laughed and said, ¡°I will have to trouble Deacon Yuan to show me the locations of the uninhabited sword summits on a map.¡± ¡°Then I would need Pill Master Mo to follow me to the Sword Summit Chambers,¡± Yuan Qi made a gesture, beckoning Mo Wuji to follow him. Actually, Mo Wuji''s allocation of a sword summit was not related to Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi only took the initiative to help Mo Wuji to improve their relations. The Sword Summit Chambers was on the second floor of the Hall of Affairs. Perhaps it was due to Yuan Qi''s presence, but the disciples at the Sword Summit Chambers were especially accommodating. Not only did they bring up the map, they even offered to take out the individual blueprints of the uninhabited sword summits. Mo Wuji took a look at the map; it was as Fei Bingzhu said, Lotus Sword Summit was indeed the closest to the Hanging Sword Cliff. ¡°Pill Master Mo is interested in the Seventh Sword Summit. Take out the detailed blueprints for the Seventh Sword Summit for him,¡± Yuan Qi took the initiative to help Mo Wuji ask. [1] Qijian literally means seven swords Chapter 93: Channel Opening Stage Level 4 Chapter 93: Channel Opening Stage Level 4 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji pointed at Lotus Sword Summit¡¯s blueprints and said, ¡°The buildings on this sword summit look quite good: nice and simple. It doesn¡¯t take up much space either, which would be convenient for me as I plan to build some structures in the future. This is the sword summit for me.¡± ¡°Pill Master Mo, you¡¯re choosing the Lotus Sword Summit? The spiritual energy there is rather sparse,¡± The disciple of the Sword Summit Chambers responsibly volunteered the negative points of the Lotus Sword Summit. Despite that, Mo Wuji waved the comment off, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m not that particular about cultivating, as I mainly research into pill refining. There¡¯s no need to send people to help me rebuild the place either. The original house is good enough for my simple needs.¡± Since Mo Wuji had said so, Yuan Qi and the Sword Summit Chambers disciple naturally did not blabber on. Soon enough, the administrative procedure for him to stay at Lotus Sword Summit was complete. ¡­ Truthfully, guest pill refiners could not even get a sword summit, but on account of Yan Qianyin¡¯s relationship with Mo Wuji, he was still able to get one from the sect. Hence, after arranging a sword summit for Mo Wuji, the sect did not send any disciples to the Lotus Sword Summit. Three days later, Mo Wuji moved into the Lotus Sword Summit. The Lotus Sword Summit was considered to be one of the less conspicuous sword summits in the Formless Blade Sect. Its land area was not big, and neither were its peaks very tall. The only difference it had with other sword summits was that there was a decent sized lake on the peak of the Lotus Sword Summit. This lake was originally used by Guan Li to grow Blood Lotuses, but after he left, the whole sword summit became vacant, and as a result, the lake also no longer had any visitors. In the end, there were only four people moving into Lotus Sword Summit: Mo Wuji, Yan¡¯Er, and the Xiong Xiuzhu couple. While the number of rooms available were not many, and a hall was not present, the remaining rooms were sufficient for the four of them to live in. Other than the main building, there were two side rooms, a storeroom, and a spirit animal room. After assigning all the menial tasks of the house and sword summit to Xiong Xiuzhu, Mo Wuji started training in the Revolving Star Passage Technique and began crafting his plans for the Hanging Sword Cliff. ... While the concentration of spiritual energy at the Lotus Sword Summit was inferior to other summits, it was over 10 times greater than at the Blood Lotus lake. Even when compared to the accommodation of Wu Kai that Mo Wuji was envious of previously, the spiritual energy here was many times denser, and this was only a sword summit poor in spiritual energy. One could only imagine how rich the spiritual energy would be at the better summits. As he trained here, Mo Wuji could feel his cultivation level increasing by leaps and bounds every day, even without the use of pills or spirit stones. He did not know that skills could only be trained after reaching the Spirit Building Stage, so he began training the Revolving Star Passage Technique as he cultivated. A month in, Mo Wuji¡¯s Revolving Star Passage Technique had reached the Nature¡¯s Passage Level. Because of the high speed of spiritual energy absorption, his cultivation level improved greatly during this period. Within a single month, the spiritual energy within Mo Wuji was frothing wildly, which based on his experience in cultivation, meant a breakthrough was near. Han Ning mentioned before that Channel Opening Stage Level 4 and Level 3 had a vast difference between them. When one reaches Channel Opening Stage Level 4, he would power up by a significant amount. Without the guidance of a master, Mo Wuji was prepared to use spirit stones to ensure his breakthrough to Channel Opening Stage Level 4 succeeded. He intended to use the spirit stone to step out of the initial levels of the Channel Opening Stage, and into Level 4. Glowing stones lay in his hand, as Mo Wuji began the spiritual energy circulation process. He could feel his hand become a large vacuum, relentlessly sucking away spiritual energy from the spirit stones. The pure spiritual energy spread out from his hand to the rest of his body, opening up every pore he had. His minor circulation speed increased many folds as the energy accelerated while it flowed through him. Mo Wuji was actively suppressing the excitement within him. ¡°How could the spirit stones have such a great effect on me?¡± He thought to himself. If he gave up using pills, and focused on only using spirit stones while cultivating, perhaps he might have entered Channel Opening Stage Level 4 earlier. Wave after wave, the spiritual energy crashed through his meridians, and in only half a day, Mo Wuji went through five spirit stones. ¡°Bang!¡± It seemed as though a dam broke apart in his body; the frothing spiritual energy turned into a raging stream, causing Mo Wuji to jump up with a roar. Han Ning was right; at that moment, he felt every cell in his body filled to the brim with explosive energy. Pride welled up from within, which Mo Wuji knew was the confidence that came with a rise in one¡¯s strength. Channel Opening Stage Level 4, he could be considered to be a cultivator at the intermediate level of the Channel Opening Stage. As arrogant as he felt, Mo Wuji was aware that in this sort of area where immortal masters were around every corner, he would not be able to protect himself with only this level of strength. Now that he had experienced how good a cultivation aid that spirit stones were, Mo Wuji desired to obtain more spirit stones. Once he reached Channel Opening Stage Level 4, Mo Wuji felt a bottleneck again, just like what he experienced after reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 1. In his current condition, 27 meridians were insufficient for him to progress any further. To cultivate further, he would have to open new spirit channels. Having trained to Channel Opening Stage Level 4 and having obtained a skill, it was time to make a trip to the Hanging Sword Cliff. The sky was painted a mixture of yellow and red just as Mo Wuji stepped out of the house. When he left, Yan¡¯Er remained behind to learn embroidery from Xiong Xiuzhu. This tranquil and peaceful scene with the sunset in the backdrop looked like it came out of a painting. Upon seeing Mo Wuji, a serene look appeared on Yan¡¯Er¡¯s face. Xiong Xiuzhu frantically stood up too, greeting him enthusiastically. ¡°Elder sister Xiong, I¡¯ll be going out for awhile. If I¡¯m not back by tomorrow, and anyone comes looking for me, just say that I¡¯ve shut myself in to cultivate. Oh yes, once I¡¯m back, I¡¯ll take a look at brother Tao¡¯s broken legs. Whether I can fix them or not, I dare not guarantee you at this stage.¡± Mo Wuji nodded at Xiong Xiuzhu. He was worried that the difficulty of getting close to the piece of sword at the Hanging Sword Cliff would be too high for him to accomplish the task in a night. Don¡¯t underestimate him for being just a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner. While he had no ways on hand to repair Tao Ao¡¯s broken legs, he knew Yan Qianyin, who he could inquire for solutions. ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± Xiong Xiuzhu was overwhelmed by joy. She quickly understood what Mo Wuji meant, and dropped her knees to the ground, ¡°Thank you for your mercy and grace, young master. Regardless of the outcome, Tao Ao and I will always be grateful to you.¡± ¡°Elder sister Xiong, since we¡¯re living together now, I consider you as part of my family, so don¡¯t stand on occasion like that next time,¡± Mo Wuji was aware of how grateful Xiong Xiuzhu was, and as Yan¡¯Er¡¯s condition improved day after day, he had already thought of her as one of his own family members for a long time. ¡°Yes young master,¡± As expected, Xiong Xiuzhu was unable to simply let it go. Despire standing up, her eyes still held a deep sense of gratitude and reverence towards the young pill refiner. To this, Mo Wuji could not do much but to let her go, if he made anymore demands of her, it would only serve to make her feel uncomfortable. The most crucial task now was to proceed on to the Hanging Sword Cliff after dusk. Other than cultivating this past month, all other preparations for this operation were made. ... The Hanging Sword Cliff was located at the extreme left of the Formless Blade Sect. Any further out from it, and you would leave the boundaries of the sect. It seemed as though everyone from the sect feared the cliff to some extent, hence visitors to this corner of the sect grounds were far and few between. By the time Mo Wuji arrived at the Hanging Sword Cliff, it was already in the middle of the night. A crescent moon hung in the sky, it¡¯s gentle rays shining down and illuminating the cliff. But despite that, the pit that lie below the cliff still appeared to have no limit in depth, darker and blacker than anything could be. The occasional hooting of owls in the night, added the final piece of the puzzle to create a oppressive and fearful atmosphere in the dark. This was not the first time that Mo Wuji came to look at the broken blade, which lay hanging on the inner side of the cliff wall, a good 60 over metres from the top of the cliff. The side of the cliff glistened in the moonlight, smooth as a mirror, leaving no footholds or handgrips for Mo Wuji to latch on at all. Mo Wuji had heard from rumors that there was a very strong gravitational pull originating from the bottom of the Hanging Sword Cliff. Even birds were unable to fly past this area, simply plunging to an unknown fate in the depths of the dark pit, drawn in by a mysterious force. In reality, Mo Wuji did not have any methods to fly either, and he only brought a 90 metre long rope instead. First he drove a steel rod into the top of the cliff as a strong point, before securing one end of the rope around it, and the other end around his waist, carefully paying out the rope to descend down the Hanging Sword Cliff. Chapter 94: The Unusual Hanging Sword Cliff Chapter 94: The Unusual Hanging Sword Cliff Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The whole process was very simple as it only took Mo Wuji a few minutes to slide over a distance of three metres. After arriving here, with the help of the hazy and dim moonlight, Mo Wuji was able to look at the broken sword very visibly. The hilt of the broken sword had been locked up on the cliff by a mottled lock. Maybe it was due to many years of erosion by the wind and rain, the quality of this half of the broken sword was not as good as the half he found in the Formless Blade Mountain. Mo Wuji did not bother about the quality of the broken sword hilt. Afterall, what he wanted was not the broken sword but rather what was inside the broken sword. Furthermore, he had no intentions to take the sword away. Mo Wuji did not panic nor tried to rush things even if the other half of the sword was right in front of him. Instead, he even slowed and calmed himself down. This was the habit he cultivated over the many years of research: The more crucial something is, the more careful he shall be. When Mo Wuji was less than a metre away from the broken sword, a powerful force swept Mo Wuji off his feet and then causing him to fall back onto the ground. It was almost as if Mo Wuji experienced a bizarre wind causing him to fall flat on the cliff. Despite being at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, this fall caused Mo Wuji to spit out blood and concurrently breaking one of the bones in his ribcage. Mo Wuji took out his sharp knife in a hurry and point it in the direction of the opening of the cliff. The good thing was that this powerful force came and left very quickly, toyed with Mo Wuji and then disappeared without a trace. Mo Wuji was a little creeped out by what happened hence he quickly took out and swallowed a pill from his pocket There was clearly no wind just now yet he was swept off his feet so casually. At the thought of the legend of the Hanging Sword Cliff¡¯s gravitational pull, Mo Wuji did not dare to be careless. Mo Wuji finally settled down once again after careful observation for another minute to confirm that the bizarre wind would not come again. Two minutes later, Mo Wuji appeared at the flat ground where the broken sword was placed at. Below him was the pitched black cliff and Mo Wuji could even feel the dense and chill vibes from all the way up here. It was as if all sorts of monsters were calling out for him from below, resulting in him having many goosebumps. Mo Wuji was dead sure that this was not his illusion. He may not be of any stature when standing next to the other pill refiners but he should be considered to be a strong cultivator in the eyes of the mortals. Seeing how odd this Hanging Sword Cliff was, Mo Wuji became extremely cautious as he slowly ascended the cliff. Instead of immediately grabbing the broken sword, Mo Wuji used his knife to start digging a hole for himself to take cover in the event of another powerful force acting on him. Furthermore, the gravitational pull spoken of in the legend had not appeared yet. Once it appears, who knows whether the rope would be enough to keep him safe? What if he ignites a chain of reactions the moment he touched the broken sword? There was still some time before daylight hence it would not be wrong to take more precautions. Being at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, Mo Wuji only needed very little energy to dig up the hole for himself to hide in. To do such things, the one thing Mo Wuji did not lack was patience. Back on Earth, his drug refinery teacher once told him that: If one has perseverance and patience, the work will already be half done and the other half is dependent on skills. If one were to be anxious and impatient, he has already failed 90% of his work and the remaining 10% is dependent on luck. It was due to the fact that this advice was etched deeply in his heart that he had succeeded so many times. Only after Mo Wuji finished digging his cover that he reached out to grab the hilt of the sword cautiously. Everything seemed calm and peaceful. There were neither any massive gravitational pull nor a powerful force like previously sweeping him off the ground. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief before using one hand to hold on to the cover he made and the other hand to grab and flip the hilt of the broken sword over to himself. There were two words carved indistinctively onto the hilt of the sword: Luoqu. Yan Qianyin certainly did not lie about the origin of this sword. It did belonged to Mo Luoqu. Meticulous as always, Mo Wuji only took a short while to realise that these two words were carved onto the hilt much later on. The original wordings looked like it has been covered up. It seemed like this was not Mo Luoqu¡¯s sword from the beginning and that he only carved his name onto it after he realised he liked it. Even though there were some mosses on the sword itself, it still looked very smooth. Just as Mo Wuji carefully used the knife in his other hand to clean the moss away, the powerful force came once again. Even though Mo Wuji dug only a small hole for himself, the force was so strong that he was swept hard against the wall of the hole that he dug. He nearly broke his arm as a result of this impact. An even more formidable force came straightaway after this wave of force died down. This time, the energy was from beneath. A powerful gravitational pull directly affected Mo Wuji, pulling him downwards. Mo Wuji used all his strength to hold on to his position. Fortunately for him, the gravitational pull was only acting on him vertically downwards. Any other direction and he would have been blown away easily no matter how tightly he hold onto his position in the hole. ¡°Ka¡­¡± Mo Wuji heard the cracking sound of his bone in his left leg. Mo Wuji gritted and held on even more tightly for his dear life. He was secretly relieved that he was cautious and made a hole for himself to hide in in case of emergency. With such terrifying gravitational pull acting on him, the steel rod his rope was secured to would have followed him and his rope into the depths of the Hanging Sword Cliff. Even if the steel rod did not break loose, his body would have been torn apart anyway. After a full half an hour, the energy dissipated and Mo Wuji quickly swallowed a pill. Following which, Mo Wuji hurried to get rid of the moss on the sword. After removing the moss, the broken sword looked more even. Mo Wuji used his short knife to prick the fracture of the sword. Like he expected, a small hole was pricked opened by Mo Wuji. Instead of widening the hole, Mo Wuji used a hook to reach into it. In one try, he managed to hook out a thin silk just like the one he had on him. Containing his excitement, Mo Wuji kept the thin silk into his pocket before putting things back in place. He waited for the fracture to not look so obvious before he carefully placed the moss back to where it was before. Perhaps this was redundant but Mo Wuji did not mind at all. No matter the task, one must complete it meticulously. Sometimes, the incident that we thought will never happen are the ones that actually happened. No one knew how long the sword was here for and maybe for a long time nobody will pay close attention to it. However, Mo Wuji did not think this way. He believed that if he was able to find something suspicious about this sword then there was a chance others could find it too. After settling everything properly, Mo Wuji carefully placed the broken sword back in place. The moment he let go of the sword, the bizarre force acted again. Mo Wuji stayed in his hole, patiently waiting for the force to gradually disappear. Yet another half an hour passed by before the force died down completely. Mo Wuji finally breathed easy,waited for a couple of minutes before releasing his rope to prepare to leave. The pity was that he could not fill up the hole that he dug up. If he could, he would have filled it fully again before leaving. Using his ability at Channel Opening Stage Level 4 without the interference of external influence, Mo Wuji landed with the aid of the rope in only a few minutes. After keeping his rope, Mo Wuji then kept his short knife. He got his short knife from Hu Fei and it had already saved his life countless of times. Now that Mo Wuji was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, he could tell how extraordinary this knife was. Even though it was not some treasure, a mortal iron shop will definitely not be able to make such a knife. Chapter 95: Trouble Comes Knocking On Your Door Chapter 95: Trouble Comes Knocking On Your Door Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: When Mo Wuji Just returned to the Lotus Sword Summit, it was already daybreak. Neither Yan¡¯Er nor the Xiong Xiuzhu couple knew of his return, and Mo Wuji did not alert them of his presence either. To a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner like him, that sort of fractures were no big deal. Once he reached his room, Mo Wuji simply swallowed a few injury healing pills, and immediately opened up the thin piece of silk obtained from the broken sword. The contents on the silk, that was no larger than the tip of the blade, were gobbled up by Mo Wuji¡¯s hungry eyes in the shortest amount of time possible. After he finished reading it, he froze on the spot for a moment. This indeed was the second half of the Revolving Star Passage Technique, but there were four words in it, of which he had obtained the first two: the Dou word, and the Zhuan word. Logically speaking, there would be two words in the second half, but in this this silk piece, there was only the Xing word. He did get the technique manual, but it lacked the Yi word. Even back then Mo Wuji repeatedly checked the inside of the broken sword to make sure that this was the only thing inside. As he could conclude by then, the Fallen Tune Sword was originally missing the Technique word of the Revolving Star Passage Technique. The Xing Word was made up of four levels, the first being the Rising Dragon Star Shift, the second being the Earthly Star Shift, the third being the Heavenly Star Shift, and the fourth being the Revolving Star Passage, and the fourth level shared the same name as this technique. As he put the silk piece away, something clicked within him. At his current level, who knew how many months it would take for him to master the first twelve levels of the Revolving Star Passage Technique, hence at least in the short term, the Yi word had no use to him at all. Moreover, he only had 27 meridians open at the moment, which meant that he had to find other ways to open his spirit channels, otherwise, it would be rather challenging for him to cross into Channel Opening Stage Level 5. ¡­ The next day, Xiong Xiuzhu saw that Mo Wuji was back, but did not think much about it. Subsequently in the following days, Mo Wuji accompanied Yan¡¯Er at the Lotus Sword Summit. With the bottleneck at cultivation he was facing, continuing to cultivate had little purpose. The plan was to go out for a trip, not only to ask Yan Qianyin about Tao Ao¡¯s broken legs, but to also purchase some ingredients for making the channel opening solution, then refine a batch of the drug. On top of all this, the most troublesome part was for him to find a source of lightning too. Mo Wuji enjoyed this sedentary lifestyle for four to five days, but as he was about to leave, Yan Qianyin surprisingly appeared on his front door.¡±Senior apprentice sister Yan, I was just about to go look for you, to request for your help on a matter. I didn¡¯t know you would come over to the Lotus Sword Summit yourself,¡± Mo Wuji quickly stepped forth to welcome Yan Qianyin upon sighting her arrival. He had interacted with Yan Qianyin before, and as a result, knew that she was a decent person. But if both of them had a conflict of interest, she would naturally still take the side that was advantageous to her. Her sudden appearance at the Lotus Sword Summit must have been fueled by a need to request something from Mo Wuji. Knowing this, he decided to bring up his request first, as her request would likely be difficult to fulfil. Her eyes gazed upon Mo Wuji as a forced smile appeared on her face, ¡°Oh, so junior apprentice brother Mo chose the Lotus Sword Summit. The atmosphere here is rather average. Haha, so your intention must be to focus solely on cultivating. May I ask what issue you have for me this time?¡± With this sentence, Mo Wuji knew that Yan Qianyin understood him very well, and he replied in a straightforward manner, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I have a family member whose legs were broken by someone else, so I wanted to ask for your assistance to fix that.¡± When she heard that this was all that Mo Wuji was asking of her, she let out a great sigh of relief, ¡°Give him this pill, and his injuries should heal quickly.¡± ¡°What sort of pill is this?¡± Curious, Mo Wuji inquired after receiving the jade bottle from Yan Qianyin. ¡°It is a Tier 3 Mortal Pill, the Bone Settling Pill.¡± Yan Qianyin casually replied. Indeed, a Tier 3 Mortal Pill was nothing to a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner like her. Immediately Mo Wuji summoned Xiong Xiuzhu, passing the pill to her, ¡°Elder sister Xiong, this is a Bone Settling Pill given by senior apprentice sister Yan. Elder brother Tao¡¯s legs should heal after he consumes it.¡± ¡°What should, it definitely will heal his legs.¡± Yan Qianyin coldly corrected Mo Wuji¡¯s words. While Xiong Xiuzhu had never seen her before, but having been a service disciple in the Formless Blade Sect for many years, she could guess that this person was Yan Qianyin when Mo Wuji mentioned the words ¡°senior apprentice Yan¡±. Thinking back to the promise Mo Wuji made to her a few days ago, her heart raced with joy. Xiong Xiuzhu¡¯s hands shivering in excitement as she received the pill. She simply could not remain as calm as Mo Wuji, kowtowing to Yan Qianyin before leaving the house. With her status and position, it would be a farce to promise to repay the favour. Once Xiong Xiuzhu left, Yan Qianyin broke her silence, ¡°Now that we¡¯ve resolved your problem, I have one of my own for you.¡± Mo Wuji swiftly replied, ¡°Please ask away senior apprentice Yan, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will try my best to fulfill it.¡± He did not blindly make any promises. After all, if she asked him to hand over Yan¡¯Er, could he just give her away?¡± With a light laugh, Yan Qianyin spoke, ¡°I know that you¡¯ll definitely do your best, but before we move on to my request, I have to inform you of something. When did you offend the Fire Sword Summit Head, Cang Qianxing? He¡¯s likely going to come settle his grudge with you soon.¡± His eyebrows instantly went into a frow. Even as a Summit Head, Cang Qianxing this scoundrel still dared to stand up for a piece of trash like Cang Wenbin. ¡°The husband of the lady that you just gave a pill to, Tao Ao, had his legs broken by Cang Wenbin. I took in this poor couple, but he did not intend to simply let them off the hook, and came barging into the Blood Lotus Lake. But I foiled his plans.¡± Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Yan Qianyin was pretty impressed with him. ¡°You¡¯re indeed a man of your word. I remember you once said that there are no high or low class people, only people with good or bad character, and from that I had a good impression of you. Now, you¡¯ve actually walked the talk. I believe that other than you, there¡¯s probably no one else in the whole Formless Blade Sect that would dare to offend a summit head over two service disciples.¡± Mo Wuji simply chuckled, ¡°I don¡¯t agree with you. I feel that you don¡¯t separate people by class either. Back when I was still a service disciple, didn¡¯t you stand up for me?¡± Yan Qianyin replied with a slight smile of her face, ¡°That¡¯s different, it¡¯s because my my position was way higher than Pill Master Ju¡¯s, so no matter what I said, he would not dare to go against me at all.¡± At this point, Mo Wuji was tired of going on about this topic, so he changed the speaking point, ¡°I¡¯ve already gained the Lotus Sword Summit, so even if Cang Qianxing came, are you sure he would be able to kill me just like that? Senior apprentice sister Yan, why don¡¯t you tell me what you¡¯ve come to request of me today?¡± With that, Yan Qianyin no longer brought up Cang Qianyin. Instead, she took out the broken hilt of a blade and placed it on the table in front of her. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw the hilt. This was precisely the one that he tampered with a few days ago at the Hanging Sword Cliff. There were even the words ¡°Fallen Tune¡± on it. What was Yan Qianyin¡¯s intention behind placing this half of the Fallen Tune Sword in front of him? Did she know that he had tampered with the hilt, and was here to question him about it? But that shouldn¡¯t be the case, if it were questioning, Yan Qianyin would not be the one that came to look for him, but experts from the Enforcement Hall. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, this is¡­?¡± Mo Wuji acted as though this was the first time he saw this piece of the sword, analysing Yan Qianyin¡¯s movements suspiciously. He did not know what the hell was going on. Chapter 96: Yan Qianyins Motive Chapter 96: Yan Qianyin''s Motive Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Take another look.¡± Seeing Mo Wuji''s look of blankness, Yan Qianyin pointed towards the mottled sword hilt once more. Mo Wuji did not understand what Yan Qianyin wanted; he extended his hand to feel the sword hilt before asking in ''shock¡¯, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, don''t tell me that this is the other half of the broken sword? Did senior apprentice sister Yan bring this over as a gift for me, so that I can make the two halves whole?¡± Yan Qianyin answered awkwardly, ¡°This is indeed the Hanging Sword Cliff''s other half of the Fallen Tune Sword. It''s just that after obtaining the Fallen Tune Sword Art, I want this Fallen Tune Sword. The sect head has already allowed me to retrieve the sword hilt, and I''m here now to shamelessly ask junior apprentice brother for the other half.¡± Yan Qianyin felt a little uncomfortable; compared to Mo Wuji''s help and compromises, her help did not count much. Firstly, her life was saved by Mo Wuji. Secondly, she broke her own agreement with Mo Wuji so that she would have yield absolute advantages. Lastly, she was the one who offered to give Mo Wuji the broken sword blade. Now, she''s going back on her words by asking Mo Wuji for it. Mo Wuji did not reply her immediately; he felt that there was something weird with Yan Qianyin''s words. Logically, if Yan Qianyin wanted the Fallen Tune Sword because she had obtained its corresponding sword art, she would have asked him for back at Formless Blade Mountain. She did not need to wait for an entire month to ask him for it. There could only be one possible explanation: She discovered a secret from Mo Luoqu''s skill transfer crystal ball. Conversely, this set Mo Wuji at ease; this meant that Yan Qianyin wasn''t here to investigate about his previous heist at the Hanging Sword Cliff. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, I know this is a little too much. To reimburse you, I am willing to offer three Tier 3 pill formulas as well as some spiritual herbs for those pills. These will be the resources for your advancement to a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. How''s that?¡± Yan Qianyin asked sincerely. Mo Wuji slowly contemplated. The Fallen Tune Sword was useless to him; the real value of the sword was the Revolving Star Passage Technique which he already took out. Thus, he could fully accept Yan Qianyin''s conditions. It seems like Yan Qianyin knew about the secret of the Fallen Tune Sword. She used an excuse of practising the sword art with the actual sword; naturally, it was because she didn''t want Mo Wuji to think that something weird was going on. Well, this was human nature. If it was him, he also wouldn¡¯t have talked about it directly. ¡°Since senior apprentice sister Yan values the Fallen Tune Sword highly, I will gladly give it to you. Actually, there''s also one thing I would need senior apprentice sister''s help in¡­¡± ¡°Please speak.¡± Hearing Mo Wuji willingly offer the Fallen Tune Sword, Yan Qianyin was elated. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, I have this family member who needs help. Because of some reason, her spiritual roots had dispersed, her spirit channels were torn apart, and her memory was wiped out. I wonder if senior apprentice sister Yan can take a look if she could be cured?¡± Ever since Mo Wuji was acquainted with Yan Qianyin, he had always wanted her help to examine Yan¡¯Er. According to Shen Lian, Yan Qianyin should not be able to cure Yan''Er. However, her origins were not simple, and she might actually find a way. ¡°Where is she?¡± Yan Qianyin replied. ¡°Yan''Er, come over for a short while,¡± Mo Wuji eagerly stood up, walked towards the door and called out. Yan''Er was alone by the lake. After hearing Mo Wuji''s call, she immediately stood up and walked into the house. Yan Qianyin also stood up and walked to Yan''Er''s side, extending her hand to grab Yan''Er¡¯s wrists. In a single breath¡¯s time, the colour of Yan Qianyin''s face changed, ¡°Her spiritual roots were forcefully robbed? Who would do such a venomous act?¡± Mo Wuji shook his head and did not offer an explanation; he only asked, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, is there any way to help her?¡± It wasn''t that he did not believe in Yan Qianyin; even if he trusted Yan Qianyin, she would not have any ways to help him seek revenge. However, if this information were to leak out, it would only lead to death. Furthermore, this sort of vengeance required Mo Wuji to personally seek it. Yan Qianyin sunk into her thoughts for a good while, before muttering, ¡°Maybe my grandmaster has a way¡­¡± Thereafter, she shook head. Even her master might not be able to find her grandmaster, much less Yan Qianyin herself. Mo Wuji also went silent; he had heard Yan Qianyin mention about her grandmaster before, this was akin to seeing flowers through a mist. ¡°Oh right, there''s someone else who can save her¡­¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± Without waiting for Yan Qianyin to finish, Mo Wuji anxiously interrupted her words. ¡°Heaven Seeking Palace''s Granny Linglong. Some say that she''s infinitely close to being a Heavenly Pill Refiner. However, my master once told me that Granny Linglong is actually the sole Heavenly Pill Refiner from the Lost Continent,¡± Yan Qianyin said with strong emotions; ostensibly, she was genuinely trying to help Mo Wuji find a solution. ¡°Lost Continent?¡± Mo Wuji did hear about the Heaven Seeking Palace before; it was the place where the Seventh Sword Summit Lord, Ju Qijian, went off too. However, he had never heard of the Lost Continent before. Yan Qianyin explained, ¡°Actually our five empires are collectively called the Lost Continent. The reason for this name is because our land has been abandoned by the heavenly laws, and our experts have never been able to advance past the First Heaven of the Heaven Realm. That''s why countless experts want to leave this Lost Continent and enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, so that they can attain higher realms.¡± Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly, he definitely needed to find Granny Linglong to help him. With his current improvement pace, how long would it take for him to be able to cure Yan''Er? What if even after ten years, he still wasn''t able to save Yan''Er? Yan Qianyin seemed to read Mo Wuji''s mind as she said hesitantly, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, even though Granny Linglong might be able to cure her, she might not necessarily help you. Even the experts from the Heaven Seeking Palace might not able to get Granny Linglong to help concoct pills for them. Furthermore, if I''m not wrong, Yan''Er would not live for more than another three years.¡± ¡°What?¡± Mo Wuji stood up agitatedly. Even though he was a Tier 2 pill refiner, he could not determine Yan''Er''s remaining life span. If Yan Qianyin wasn''t lying to him, then Shen Lian must have been the one who lied to him. Perhaps Shen Lian wanted to comfort him so that he would not be overly anxious, but her words nearly killed Yan''Er. If he knew that Yan¡¯Er only had less than three years left, how could he cultivate and progress at some a stable and gradual pace? ¡°She really only has three years left. Let''s take a step back and talk. Even if you go to the Heaven Seeking Palace and get to meet Granny Linglong, and I guess that there¡¯s a 99% chance that you wouldn''t even be able to see her, it would still be a wasted effort. In reality, travelling at your current speed from the Formless Blade Sect to the Heaven Seeking Palace will take two to three years. And that''s if you don''t meet with any delays.¡± Yan Qianyin''s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Mo Wuji''s head. Mo Wuji''s hands and feet were icy cold, he was completely clueless on what he could do. No one could understand the place Yan''Er had in his heart. After being plotted against by Xia Ruoyin, Mo Wuji came into this world with nothing at all. Yan''Er was willing to exchange her life for his, placing this young master above everything else, allowing him to feel the feelings of affection between human beings. He had never felt that before, and now that he did, he knew that he had to cherish it. ¡°Actually there''s another way: the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition which will take place half a year from now. When the Five Elements Desolate Domain opens, Granny Linglong would definitely personally enter to gather spiritual herbs. Maybe you might have a chance to see Granny Linglong.¡± Seeing Mo Wuji''s listless expression, Yan Qianyin tried to console him. Mo Wuji suddenly pulled out two rolls of thin silk and passed them to Yan Qianyin before bowing to her, ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, these two silk pieces contain the secrets of the Fallen Tune Sword. I would like to request senior apprentice sister Yan for something.¡± Chapter 97: She Saved Your Life Chapter 97: She Saved Your Life Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°You know why I''m looking for the Fallen Tune Sword, and even found the secrets from within?¡± Yan Qianyin made sense of the situation and asked awkwardly. If she could find out about the Fallen Tune Sword''s secret from the skill transfer crystal ball, Mo Wuji could have too. However, she did not know that Mo Wuji found the Fallen Tune Sword''s secret by chance and he hadn''t even used the Invisible Sword skill transfer crystal ball. Mo Wuji did not hide anything, ¡°Yes. There''s a skill within the Fallen Tune Sword, it''s called the Revolving Star Passage Technique.¡± Yan Qianyin opened the thin silk and naturally found the Revolving Star Passage Technique. By the side, Mo Wuji was still speaking, ¡°This skill is missing one of the word manuals - The Yi Stage. Now this skill belongs to senior apprentice sister Yan. I only ask for senior apprentice sister Yan to bring me along for the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. Even if it turns out to be unsuccessful, I want to try or I will never be at ease for the rest of my life.¡± He could obtain another skill in the future but Yan''Er needed to be cured immediately. Moreover, he had already recorded every single word and every single cultivation image of the Revolving Star Passage Technique. Yan Qianyin rolled the scroll up, looked at Mo Wuji and asked, ¡°May I know what''s your relationship with Yan¡¯Er?¡± With one look at the skill, Yan Qianyin could tell that it was far from normal. It was not as though Mo Wuji could not cultivate; being able to give this skill up demonstrated how important Yan''Er was in his heart. ¡°Yan''Er used to be my servant¡­¡± At this point, there was nothing left to hide; Mo Wuji briefly narrated his and Yan''Er''s story in Raozhou. Despite knowing that the Mo Clan has fallen, Yan''Er did not leave Mo Wuji. Instead, she was willing to starve for him, so much so that she ended up thin and emaciated. She toiled hard at night just so she could earn money to satisfy Mo Wuji''s dream of being a king. Yan Qianyin''s eyes could not help but fall on Yan''Er. It was enough that she was a loyal servant, but she even starved herself just to fulfil her young master''s unreasonable desires. Yan Qianyin truly never saw a servant like Yan''Er before. After Yan''Er knew that her spiritual roots were extremely good, she did not ask to cultivate, but asked if she could transfer her spiritual roots over to her young master. This was something never seen before. After all, this was akin to giving up her opportunity to become an immortal. Who could expect that her words would actually become reality. It''s just that her spiritual roots weren''t transferred to her young master but someone else. Fortunately, the transfer failed. If it was actually successful, she would die in the spot and she would not be here right now. Even though she lost her memories and mental state, she could still remember her young master. This kind of person was definitely worth saving. ¡°I can take you to the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. If you can advance to a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, you can even personally take part in the competition. However, I still need to remind you, even if you meet Granny Linglong, she would not help you,¡± Yan Qianyin sighed. She was an Earth Pill Refiner, and she better understood the temperaments of pill refiners. Even if Mo Wuji was resolute and firm, the chances of Granny Linglong helping was close to zero. Mo Wuji decisively said, ¡°I have to try.¡± Yan Qianyin did not continue persuading him, but picked up the silk in her hand and said, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, did you dig the hole at the Hanging Sword Cliff? You picked the Lotus Sword Summit also for this reason right?¡± Mo Wuji''s heart trembled and he immediately thought of denying it. However, he knew that since Yan Qianyin already knew so much, there was no point in doing so. He honestly and simply said, ¡°Yes senior apprentice sister Yan, I did indeed go to the Hanging Sword Cliff. How did you know?¡± Yan Qianyin laughed faintly, ¡°Because I personally retrieved this sword hilt from the Hanging Sword Cliff. Your hole even helped me.¡± With that, Yan Qianyin looked at Yan''Er, ¡°She saved your life.¡± ¡°Ahh¡­¡± Mo Wuji looked at Yan Qianyin in confusion. However, he immediately made sense of the situation. When he opened the hilt to retrieve the silk, he left behind traces. Yan Qianyin was not an idiot, she could definitely discover those traces on the hilt. Furthermore, Mo Wuji moved to the Lotus Sword Summit and there was a newly dug hole at the Hanging Sword Cliff, she could easily guess that he was the one who removed what was in the sword hilt. If he did not give the silk scrolls up for Yan''Er, and when Yan Qianyin discovers that the Fallen Tune Sword''s secret had already been removed, she would not treat him so nicely. That was why Yan Qianyin said that Yan''Er saved Mo Wuji''s life. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, if I did not pass you the scrolls and you discovered it, you would kill me?¡± Mo Wuji secretly heaved a sigh of relief and he casually asked. However, he had interacted with Yan Qianyin, and he did not believe she would kill him because of this. From the looks of it, she would at the very most force him to hand the thing over. Yan Qianyin shook her head and explained, ¡°I wouldn''t have killed you, but the sect head would.¡± ¡°The sect head knows about the secret?¡± Mo Wuji asked on shock. If the sect head knows about it, Mo Wuji might still be executed even though he had already handed the Revolving Star Passage Technique over. Yan Qianyin replied, ¡°If the sect head didn''t know about the Fallen Tune Sword''s secret, do you think he would have allowed me to take the sword hilt? If you didn''t hand over the skill, I would definitely have guessed that you were the one who took it. When that happens, I would have been very disappointed with you, and I wouldn''t have helped you hide the truth. Even if I didn''t say anything, the sect head would have doubts over why I didn''t take out the Fallen Tune Sword''s secret. He would definitely send people to investigate the location of the sword hilt and see the hole you dug. By then, don''t you think he''ll start questioning me? I just need to confess that I wasn''t the one who dug it, and that it was already there when I came to retrieve the sword hilt. What do you think will happen next?¡± Cold sweat trickled down Mo Wuji''s back; Yan Qianyin was completely right. If he lied to Yan Qianyin and he did not offer the Revolving Star Passage Technique, why would Yan Qianyin cover up for him? Even if Yan Qianyin didn''t say anything about what happened at the Hanging Sword Cliff or the Formless Blade Mountain, the sect head would still have been able to found links to him. After all, Mo Wuji moved to the Lotus Sword Summit and the hole at the Hanging Sword Cliff were dug at around the same time. That was too close to be considered a coincidence. So Yan Qianyin was completely right to have said that Yan''Er saved his life. Yan Qianyin kept the silk scrolls, ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, you saved my life before and now you are being so honest with me. I, Yan Qianyin, am not an ungrateful person. I can''t give you this Revolving Star Passage Technique as the sect head also wants to see it. But if you meet any problems, I will try to help you. Also, it''s very possible that this Revolving Star Passage Technique is not a skill. It doesn''t matter if you have already memorised the contents, but this matter cannot be leaked.¡± ¡°If this is not a skill, then what is it?¡± Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. He really did memorise the contents on the two silk scrolls. Yan Qianyin answered, ¡°It could even be a sacred art. However, my cultivation is too low and I am not very well-read, so I''m not too sure¡­¡± ¡°The guy surnamed Mo, do you think you''re very incredible now that you''re a guest pill refiner? This senior only needs one slap to squash you¡­¡± A hoarse and loud voice outside the house interrupted Yan Qianyin''s sentence. It was followed by a raging tornado which sped towards Mo Wuji''s house. Yan Qianyin, who was talking to Mo Wuji, took a step forward, and also sent a wave out. ¡°Hong!¡± The clash of the two forces directly destroyed the exterior of Mo Wuji''s house. Mo Wuji hurried out to see Yan Qianyin facing a ferocious looking man. The space between the two of them seemed to have been plowed, looking extremely messy and disorderly. Chapter 98: The Immortal Training Tower Chapter 98: The Immortal Training Tower Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Pill Master Yan, why are you here too? You¡¯ve advanced into the first stage of the Earth Realm, the Yuan Dan Stage?¡± The hideously muscular man stared at Yan Qianyin with a surprised look on his face. To become an Earth Pill Refiner at such a young age was already a frightening accomplishment, but to enter the first stage of the Earth Realm too? He was already in the 7th level of the Yuan Dan Stage, but how many years did he take to get there? By the time he entered the Yuan Dan Stage, he was already much older than Yan Qianyin. Yan Qianyin casually replied, ¡°Whether I¡¯m in the Yuan Dan Stage or not is not important. I¡¯m actually quite curious, as lord of a sword summit, why would Summit Lord Cang forcibly come to the Lotus Sword Summit to destroy Pill Master Mo¡¯s home?¡± While Cang Qianxing did not acknowledge Mo Wuji, he could not afford to act without restraint in front of Yan Qianyin. Even before she stepped into the Yuan Dan Stage, she was the top ranked existence below the Formless Blade Sect Head, and now that she was in the Yuan Dan Stage, her position was not something that the Fire Sword Summit Lord could compare to. ¡°Since you want to know why, let me enlighten you. This man took advantage of his position of a guest pill refiner to bully others. My nephew found some materials for smithing and intended to give them to me, but somehow he caught wind of this. In the end, not only did he give my nephew a good beating, but he also snatched away the smithing materials.¡± Although Cang Qianxing did not outrank Yan Qianyin, but he believed that in front of the truth, she would not dare to overly protect Mo Wuji. ¡°Thank you young master, thank you Pill Master Yan, my husband Tao Ao can now walk again thanks to you.¡± Just as the final word left Cang Qianxing¡¯s mouth, Xiong Xiuzhu assisted Tao Ao to walk over from afar, with a voice shaking from emotion. If she was not helping Tao Ao to stand, she would have fallen to her knees by then. Yan Qianyin took advantage of this, asking Xiong Xiuzhu, ¡°This is the Fire Sword Summit Lord, please explain how your husband¡¯s leg got broken and the current situation to him. Summit Lord Cang claims that Pill Master Mo snatched Cang Wenbin¡¯s smithing materials, a steel pole, and is here to settle this debt with Pill Master Mo.¡± Xiong Xiuzhu understood what was going on immediately, and quickly clarified, ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that. The steel pole is a family heirloom of mine¡­¡± Once Cang Qianxing heard that Cang Wenbin broke Tao Ao¡¯s legs, and that the steel pole was stolen from Xiong Xiuzhu by Cang Wenbin, how could he not understand what was going on? A livid expression appeared on his face, though not because he had wronged Mo Wuji. If Yan Qianyin was not present, even if he knew that Cang Wenbin was being unreasonable, he would still carry on to destroy Mo Wuji¡¯s house, and take the steel pole away by force. But now he was furious that Cang Wenbin actually wanted to manipulate him to teach Mo Wuji a lesson. Turning around, he saw Cang Wenbin with a face as white as a sheet. No questions were needed to confirm that Xiong Xiuzhu was not lying. With one leap, Cang Qianxing landed in front of Cang Wenbin. His giant palm lifted into the air, and swept down onto Cang Wenbin¡¯s recently recovered face, which had once again become bloody after the single slap. After the slap, Cang Qianxing did not speak any further. Extending his strides, all traces of him left the summit in seconds. Since Cang Qianxing had left, Cang Wenbin dared not make any noise, and stumbled off the summit as fast as he could. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. If Yan Qianyin was not here today, he would definitely have been humiliated by Cang Qianxing. ¡°One day,¡± he swore, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the Fire Sword Summit to teach this cunning old man a lesson.¡± ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, you have to be wary of Cang Qianxing in the future. This guy will definitely settle this grudge someday. Even though he won¡¯t dare to make a move against you openly, but he¡¯ll make your life difficult somehow. If I guess correctly, he should be at Yuan Dan Stage Level 7. I¡¯ve just entered the Yuan Dan Stage and cannot stand up to him yet.¡± Yan Qianyin warned Mo Wuji in a serious tone the moment Cang Qianxing left. Without this reminder, Mo Wuji would also have known that he could not afford to offend someone like Cang Qianxing. But even though he did not do so this time, Cang Qianxing still came knocking on his door. He couldn¡¯t deflect these bullets even if he wanted to. ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, do you know where there¡¯s something like a lightning lake nearby?¡± Mo Wuji¡¯s desire to become stronger lit up again in his heart, and he had to find a lightning source to open new meridians. Yan Qianyin gazed at Mo Wuji with a puzzled look, ¡°Why are you looking for lightning lakes? Do you have lightning affinity spiritual roots?¡± She totally did not believe that Mo Wuji had lightning affinity spiritual roots, as those with unique spiritual roots were all top tier geniuses. In general, most unique affinity spiritual roots were of supreme grade, and even the worst of them were high grade spirit roots. Mo Wuji clarified, ¡°Actually, I have a technique that allows me to strengthen my body by immersing myself in lightning, so I wanted to find somewhere suitable to train with it.¡± So this was the case, Yan Qianyin nodded her head. No wonder Mo Wuji survived the malfunction in the transfer formation. His body had been forged by lightning. This explanation cleared any suspicion that Yan Qianyin had. In reality, there were many techniques that used wing, lightning, fire, ice, and other methods to strengthen the body. So it was not unusual for Mo Wuji to obtain a lightning affinity body strengthening technique. ¡°At the Fringe City there¡¯s a gigantic training facility, called the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower. You can go there to rent a cultivation room. Not only are there lightning tempering rooms, but also five elements tempering rooms, ice tempering rooms, etc.¡± Yan Qianyin replied. As someone that did not understand much about the world of cultivators, Mo Wuji¡¯s jaw dropped when he heard that there were specialised lightning rooms for cultivation, before asking excitedly, ¡°Such a place exists?¡± A smile emerged on Yan Qianyin¡¯s face, ¡°This sort of facility isn¡¯t actually anything special, as long as you have spirit stones, you could also go to locations with spiritual energy as dense as on the Formless Blade Sect Head¡¯s Summit. Fringe City is a city of cultivation where many major sects cross paths, so try not to stir up any trouble while you¡¯re there. The Fringe City Immortal Training Tower is very famous. It was made in the image of the Heaven Seeking Palace Training Tower, and out of all of the towers that mimic the Heaven Seeking Palace Training Tower, the one at Fringe City is the best.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice sister Yan, thank you for the recommendation. I intend to go to Fringe City to train for a period of time, and would like Yan¡¯Er to stay with you for a few days, is that possible?¡± Since Cang Qianxing had suddenly barged to his house, Mo Wuji became more cautious. If not for his insufficient strength and the inconvenience of bringing someone around, he would have kept Yan¡¯Er by his side. Yan Qianyin replied, ¡°Sure, no problem. The place that I live in is very spacious, so why don¡¯t you let the XIong Ziuzhu couple come over too, since someone has to take care of Yan¡¯Er anyway.¡± When Xiong Xiuzhu, who had been waiting to thank Yan Qianyin, heard this, her knees immediately hit the ground, followed by cries of gratitude. With her hand gesturing for Xiong Xiuzhu to get up, Yan Qianyin said to Mo Wuji, ¡°My suggestion for you is to take up some pill refining jobs of the sect, this will be beneficial for your growth.¡± ¡­ After handing over Yan¡¯Er, Xiong Xiuzhu, and Tao Ao to Yan Qianyin, Mo Wuji began preparing for his trip to Fringe City. He did not really take note of Yan Qianyin¡¯s suggestion to take up pill refining jobs. The main priority was to increase his strength, and the first step was to open new meridians. There were flying beast carriages flying from the Formless Blade Sect to Fringe City, but those required spirit stones for payment. So Mo Wuji went to collect his guest pill refiner pay, which added up to a total of over a hundred spirit stones. After paying for a seat on the flying beast carriage, he was left with only a hundred spirit stones. Mo Wuji dared not use these stones for cultivation. He had to save them up for the Immortal Training Tower, which used spirit stones instead of gold coins as their currency. Chapter 99: The Expensive Lightning Tempering Room Chapter 99: The Expensive Lightning Tempering Room Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Fringe City. It had a desolate sounding name, but in reality, it wasn''t the case. Besides the mottled and weather-beaten walls, this place was unbelievably crowded. There were countless streams of beast carriages and flying beast carriages. The passing people all carried weapons on their backs, with an imposing aura encompassing their entire body. Compared to a mortal city, cultivator cities were really indescribable. Mo Wuji carried his drug refining equipment on his back as he walked into the city. According to the information he gathered, there were other sects near Fringe City. Besides Formless Blade Sect, there were also the Nine Spirits School, Thundercloud Sect, Thousand Leaves Alliance and at least ten other sects. The Formless Blade Sect was not the strongest sect among all these sects, and it was because of this, that Yan Qianyin nagged at Mo Wuji to try his best not to offend others. While there were many people in Fringe City, there were also many inns and hotels. Mo Wuji was quickly able to find a place to stay: the North Water Inn. According to the waiter, the North Water Inn was the very close to the Immortal Training Tower. Even though this was a cultivator city, Mo Wuji found that the facilities of the North Water Inn was far from Chang Luo''s Tian Luo Hotel. The only good point was that this inn accepted gold coins, if not Mo Wuji wouldn''t have wanted to stay there. He only had a hundred pieces of spirit stones, and he even heard that they were low grade ones. Besides his salary as a guest pill refiner, he got most of his hundred spirit stones from the Formless Blade Mountain. What made Mo Wuji a little happy was that the inn actually had its own pill room. For the guests, this pill room was not necessarily for concocting pills; it could be used to house their beast pets, smithing or any other function. Mo Wuji wanted this pill room not for concocting drugs, but to concoct his channel opening solution. That was also the reason why he brought his drug refining equipment out. Mo Wuji intended to concoct his solution in the night, and go to the Immortal Training Tower in the day to open his meridians. This was the best way to make use of his time. After placing his belongings in the inn, the first thing Mo Wuji did wasn¡¯t to take a look at the Immortal Training Tower. Since Yan Qianyin said that there were Lightning Tempering Rooms there, then they would definitely be there. Instead, the first thing he did was to purchase medicinal herbs and prepare to concoct his channel opening solution. He only had a few bottles of it on himself; these bottles were not enough for him to use. ¡­ As this was a city for cultivators, in addition to the fact that Mo Wuji was merely buying lowly medicinal ingredients, he did not need to spend much time and effort to get what he needed. In just two to three hours, he was all prepared to start his drug refining. This time, he purchased 30 batches of ingredients. By now, concocting the channel opening solution was as easy as steaming rice. Furthermore, he was already at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, his concentration was far improved from before. In a single night, he brewed 15 bottles of channel opening solution. With the seven bottles he already had, he now had a total of 22 bottles of channel opening solution on him. When first light broke, Mo Wuji stopped his concocting. He sat down and started cultivating. Despite not sleeping the entire night, Mo Wuji''s spirit and vitality were brimming with just two hours of cultivation. After eating a simple breakfast, Mo Wuji brought his 22 bottles of channel opening solution and headed towards the Immortal Training Tower. If there were enough chances, Mo Wuji was determined to open as many meridians as he can before slowly cultivating. To cultivators, opening spirit channels was a phase within the Channel Opening Stage. When they advanced into the Spirit Building Stage, the body¡¯s spirit channels were fixed, and could no longer be opened. Unless the cultivator chose to waste his cultivation and try once more from the Channel Opening Stage. However, even an idiot would not want to do such a thing. ... From the way Mo Wuji looked at it, as a cultivator city, and with the the Immortal Training Tower being the most popular place in Fringe City, its square must be immensely big. It should at least be bigger than the one back at Chang Luo. However, when Mo Wuji arrived outside the Immortal Training Tower, he could see that its area was nowhere comparable to the one at Chang Luo. The only astounding thing about it was the five huge golden words floating outside the square: Fringe City Immortal Training Tower. As the square was relatively small, and there was a huge flow of people, the place looked extremely crowded. At the centre of the square, there was a tower over a 100 metres tall. As it''s body was wide, the tower looked a little bloated. Mo Wuji was used to skyscrapers back on Earth; a tower which was not more than 150 metres tall did not astound him. As he walked closer to the tower, Mo Wuji saw a huge sign hung outside the door. The sign indicated the prices of the various tempering rooms. Not only did Mo Wuji see the Five Elemental Tempering Rooms which Yan Qianyin mentioned, he also saw Swordplay Room, Gravity Room, Floating Room¡­ Whether it was imaginable or unimaginable, this place had it all. However, after Mo Wuji took a look at the price tags, his initial excitement dropped by half. The cheapest tempering rooms all had a daily fee of 10 spirit stones or more. The more expensive ones even needed more than a hundred spirit stones; this was especially so for the Swordplay Room, it required a hefty 300 low grade spirit stones just for a single day. Mo Wuji hurried to scan through the eclectic range of tempering rooms and soon found the Lightning Tempering Room. When he saw the price of the Lightning Tempering Room, his breath turned cold. It''s price wasn''t calculated by the days but by the hour; every hour required 10 low grade spirit stones. With the amount of spirit stones he had on him, he could only afford 10 hours. After a few moments of hesitation, Mo Wuji still chose to enter the Immortal Training Tower. If he was alone, he would definitely have taken the risk to find the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile. However, he now had Yan''Er along with him, so he did not have the time to hunt for lightning crocodiles. Moreover, if he had the choice, he would not want to risk his life. After all, spirit stones could be earned but a lost life could not be recovered. He was even a Tier 2 pill refiner with a good supply of pills on him. All these could be used to exchange for spirit stones.. "I want to use the Lightning Tempering Room for two hours..." Mo Wuji carefully took out 20 spirit stones and placed it in front of the payment window. He was reminded of this sentence from an essay he once read: " ''Two bowls of warm wine, and a dish of fennel beans'' and he passed over nine copper coins." [1] Mo Wuji suddenly immersed into the mood which Kong Yiji had been in. Much like Old Kong, he also passed over these valuable 20 spirit stones with deep sentiments. "The Lightning Tempering Room requires a deposit of 100 spirit stones. We will charge you based on the hour, and the remaining spirit stones will be returned to you." The voice behind the window answered mechanically. You even need a deposit? Looking at Mo Wuji''s startled face, a man by the side said, "Brother, this must be your first time here, right? Everything here requires a deposit. You can choose to apply for a jade slip, and deposit some spirit stones within the jade slip. In the future, you can simply pay using your jade slip." Mo Wuji hurried to thank him, before taking all hundred spirit stones from his bag. Fortunately, he had exactly a hundred spirit stones, or this would have been a wasted trip. After passing over the hundred spirit stones, the person at the window quickly passed Mo Wuji a jade slip. At the same time, he said with an icy cold, mechanical voice, "Insert the jade slip into the door groove. When you come out, return the jade slip to exchange for spirit stones, or hand over extra spirit stones if you exceeded your time." "Can this friend here lend me three spirit stones? I only have 97 spirit stones on me, which is not enough for a deposit. Don''t worry, I will only be cultivating for two hours, so after I retrieve my deposit, I will wait here to return you your spirit stones." A slightly tender voice sounded by Mo Wuji''s ear. Mo Wuji turned to see a roughly 13 to 14 year old youth looking at him expectantly. Ostensibly, this youth had seen him hand over the spirit stones, and felt that he had more spirit stones on him. From Mo Wuji''s experience, this youth was really lacking three spirit stones. He could clearly see the desire in this youth''s eyes. If he had more spirit stones on him, he would not have minded lending the youth the three spirit stones. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji really did not have any spirit stones left on him, and he apologetically said to the youth, "I''m really sorry. I only had 100 spirit stones on me." As he finished this sentence, Mo Wuji saw a few looks of disdain from the surroundings. The youth''s eyes revealed an expression of disappointment. Ostensibly, he thought that Mo Wuji was simply finding excuses. He directed this gaze to the surroundings, but no one spoke up. "I will help you out with the three spirit stones," A slightly magnetic voice sounded, and three spirit stones were sent into the youth''s hands. It was a young man, and even Mo Wuji had to secretly praise this guy''s looks. Not only was he handsome, his voice brought with him some magnetism and charm. You don''t even need to look at his face; his long slender arms were already enough to earn the envy of countless women. If this was on Earth, this person could easily earn money with his face alone. There was a pretty lady by this man''s side. Her eyes swept across Mo Wuji with a look of contempt. Mo Wuji merely shook his head; he did not mind about this matter. He looked at the jade slip in his hand. It wrote: Lightning Room 1. [1] This is from a poem by Lu Xun, a figure of modern Chinese Literature. If you''re interested in the full poem, it''s being translated here: http://chinesetoenglishtraslation.blogspot.sg/2009/02/blog-post.html Chapter 100: Lucky To Be Alive Chapter 100: Lucky To Be Alive Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Lightning Room 1 was located on the ninth floor of the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower, and it was the first training room that came into Mo Wuji¡¯s field of vision when he arrived on the ninth floor. There was indeed a groove for the jade slip outside the tempering room, and Mo Wuji casually slid his jade slip into the groove, then the heavy stone door of the tempering room began to creak open. After Mo Wuji entered the stone door, it automatically closed behind him. Upon preliminary inspection, the stone chamber he was in had at least 200 square meters in floor area, and around 10 meters in height. The chamber was completely empty, less three handles at the entrance. The first was labelled ¡°Begin training¡±, the second labelled ¡°Stop training¡±, and the last labelled ¡°Open door¡±. Other than that, there was no dial or handle to adjust the strength of lightning in the chamber. Even though he had not undergone training in a lightning tempering room before, it was not the first time that Mo Wuji tempered meridians with lightning. A bottle of channel opening solution disappeared in a gulp, and Mo Wuji pulled down the first handle to start his training. Waves of rumbling rang out from all corners of the chamber, and around 10 breaths later, tiny lightning bolts came shooting out. Even though the lightning tempering room was rather large, but Mo Wuji noticed that the lightning bolts were only landing within a radius of a few metres in the centre of the room with loud crackling noises, while nothing happened elsewhere. Those lightning bolts were no weaker than those that he encountered for the first time in the lightning lake . Without a single shred of hesitation, Mo Wuji stepped into the area which bore the brunt of the lightning bolt strikes. Every minute that he hesitated was equivalent to wasting some spirit stones. ¡°Bang...crackle¡­¡± The lightning bolts struck Mo Wuji¡¯s body, and the streams of hot energy that followed were guided by Mo Wuji into the various meridians in his body. It was only then that Mo Wuji felt the difference between the lightning bolts in the lightning tempering room, and those from the lightning lake and the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles. The strength of every lightning bolt was consistent, which to him, was much better for tempering his meridians. It was good to be rich. Even in the world of cultivators, this fact did not change. A single major circulation with thelater, Mo Wuji¡¯s 28th meridian popped open. Unfortunately, he had no spirit stones, otherwise, he would definitely take the chance to cultivate at the same time. Who knew what that would feel like? The lightning bolts rained down endlessly, and Mo Wuji ceaselessly consumed bottle after bottle of channel opening solution. The only good point of tempering his meridians in the lightning tempering room was that he did not have to worry about his safety. Once he could not handle the intensity of lightning, he could just step out of the epicenter of the lightning bolts to take a short break. This was a luxury that Mo Wuji did not have when facing the lightning crocodiles and in the lightning lake. When making use of lightning crocodiles, he would have to bring a guy along to help, so as to prevent him from being killed by the crocodile by accident. On the other hand, the lightning lake was a much more dangerous place to train in. No one knew when a extremely strong lightning bolt would strike. For lightning that strong, perhaps only a single bolt would already easily wipe a weak newbie like Mo Wuji off the face of the planet. In the lightning tempering room, nearly no single piece of Mo Wuji¡¯s flesh was left in its original state. Luckily, he threw his clothes outside of the lightning radius at the start, otherwise he would have to leave naked. How could he anticipate this and bring an extra set of clothes with him? The smell of charred flesh filled the lightning tempering room, and with every lightning strike, Mo Wuji would spasm uncontrollably, but even so, he did not choose to leave the lightning radius to rest. Not a single lightning bolt should have been wasted by taking a break, as every one was bought with spirit stones. More importantly, Mo Wuji was aware that while the lightning tempering room was safe and stable, but there was one factor lacking: the pressure from fighting for his life. One thing that Yan Qianyin got right was that it would be difficult for someone that did not experience life and death situations to become an expert. Mo Wuji¡¯s determination in the face of these lightning strikes, was also to push himself to his limits. As long as he did not reach the thin line between life and death, rest would not be an option. Determination was sometimes more important than talent. For Mo Wuji to get to where he was, perhaps his talent had a part to play, but in his heart, grit and drive played the most crucial role. 33 meridians...34 meridians¡­ When Mo Wuji consumed the 30th bottle of channel opening solution, a continuous stream of four lightning bolts were guided into his 36th meridian. ¡°Bang!¡± Once the four lightning bolts completely burst open his 36th meridian, a relaxed feeling spread throughout his whole body. Who cared if he was burnt black and was filled with cuts and wounds caused by the lightning strikes? Once the 36th meridian was opened, he had a sublime feeling all over. This feeling of joy and comfort was similar to what he felt when progressing from Channel Opening Stage Level 3 to Level 4. No, it felt even better than that. Mo Wuji, who had originally planned to take a short break after opening 36 meridians, changed his mind. He felt really good, possibly even stronger than before he entered the lightning tempering room, so he decided that he would finish all of the channel opening solution before stopping. Down his throat the 14th bottle of channel opening solution went, but a sense of uneasiness appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, because the burning line sensation was no longer present. Other than a light burn in his throat, there was no other reaction from his body. Without any reaction from his body, he would not be able to guide the lightning bolts to attack his meridians to open them. Multiple lightning bolts continued to land on him, and Mo Wuji allowed them to freely strike his body, but other than the physical harm that they inflicted on him, there were no benefits that could be reaped any further An uncomfortable feeling welled up within him. Desperate, Mo Wuji drank five bottles of channel opening solution, but to no avail. All he felt was some heat in his throat. His meridians no longer responded. The lightning bolts kept raining down, and Mo Wuji forcibly started the circulation process to guide the lightning to break open one of the possible meridians. ¡°Boom!¡± Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood just as the lightning was guided into him, before falling to the ground, paralysed and spasming. Lightning bolts threatened to strike again. Whatever was left of Mo Wuji struggled to crawl out of the area at the centre of the room where lightning struck. It was as though countless needles were pierced through his spine, as he spat out more blood with each wave of pain that hit him. Thankfully he had already got out of the epicenter of the lightning strikes, otherwise, he would not be able to crawl out ever in his life. Forcefully guiding lightning through the body¡¯s meridians had caused great pain and damage to Mo Wuji, making him unable to stand up. While he lay on the floor, he could not even move a muscle either. Even though the lightning bolts continued to fall, and his spirit stones were still being used up, but he did not have the strength to reach and pull the ¡°Stop training¡± handle. After a good one over hour of lying on the ground did Mo Wuji regain some strength. With this, he wriggled his way to the bag at one side to retrieve some recovery pills, instantly popping a few of them into his mouth. The recovery pills coupled with half an hour of rest did the trick, and Mo Wuji could just barely stand up. He wobbled to the side of the door, and pulled the ¡°Stop training¡± handle before collapsing to the ground once again. The wastage of spirit stones were of secondary importance now. The main issue on his mind was why the channel opening solution lost its effectiveness. Could his natural limit be 36 opened meridians? But based on his prior knowledge, he knew that the maximum number was 99 spirit channels, and even though Mo Wuji did not know the difference between meridians and spirit channels, from experience he also knew that there was negligible difference between opening 36 meridians and 36 spirit channels. In the world of cultivation, for those who could cultivate, opening 36 spirit channels was commonplace, and even those with the most average talent could achieve it. As long as you were a cultivator, you would be expected to at least open more than 36 spirit channels. A strong sense of resentment burst forth from inside him. If he really only had the potential of 36 opened meridians, then he would likely be unable to cultivate even to the later levels of the Channel Opening Stage, much less higher stages or realms. Time passed quickly while Mo Wuji just sat there, and at some point in time, an alarm went off in the lightning tempering room. This signified that Mo Wuji had not been training in the room for quite awhile, and would have to leave the room if he did not wish to continue cultivating. Only then, Mo Wuji woke up his idea, and a shiver went down him spine. Back when he could not cultivate, he was not sad or disappointed, but instead worked hard to find a path of cultivation for himself. However, now that he could already cultivate, and had become a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator, he was surprisingly defeated by his limit of opening 36 meridians. This was out of character for him. Mo Wuji once told himself, so what if he had mortal roots? He would not give up, what more if he had mortal roots that allowed him to cultivate. No turning back, Mo Wuji had to find a new method to open meridians. If he couldn¡¯t, then he would revert to his original plan, and pursue training in martial arts. Thinking to this point, Mo Wuji instantly became mentally recharged, and his confidence was renewed. So what if I have mortal roots? So what if I only have 36 opened meridians? I can¡¯t give up here. I must never give up! [1] At most, he would just die as a ordinary mortal, which did not matter. He was already very lucky to have reached such a stage, so what was there to worry about? Mo Wuji soon regained his composure, put on his torn clothes, picked up his bag, and yanked open the door of the lightning tempering room. Outside the lightning tempering room stood seven, eight people, out of which a guy and a girl were squashed in center. The guy, Mo Wuji could recognise. He was the one who gave three spirit stones to the young and handsome youth previously. The pretty girl had also been at his side. Those outside were shocked by Mo Wuji¡¯s appearance. Whole body burnt black, hair as though as it was lit on fire, body still releasing smoke, and the blood on the chest and the corner of the mouth mixed with black soot; Mo Wuji looked as though as he crawled out of a pile of dead people. The only thing that looked out of place was his eyes. That pair of eyes reflected a profound sense of serenity, as though as the whole world had exploded, but yet he remained unaffected and calm. [1] TL Note: Thoughts of people are now in italics Chapter 101: Upgrading the Drug Formula Chapter 101: Upgrading the Drug Formula Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji ignored the shocked looks on these people¡¯s faces, calmly retrieving his jade slip, and proceeding downstairs past the group. The moment he reached the first floor, loud bouts of laughter burst out behind him. Following that, someone said, ¡°Did he choose the lightning tempering room to shock others with his ability, because he heard that it¡¯s cool to train in it?¡± ¡°I really got a shock from his performance, hahaha¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t say, everyone knows that there was someone in the lightning tempering room for six hours, but sadly, everyone also knows that he sat at one side, watching the lightning strikes in the room. Perhaps he was afraid of wasting too many spirit stones, so he turned off the lightning in the last two hours. I really want to know how long he managed to endure the lightning bolts¡­¡± ¡°If he knew that others could see that he turned off the lightning in the room, perhaps he would not have cared about wasting some spirit stones.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t care about these people, I¡¯m going in to train now. Mi Yue, wait for me outside¡­¡± ¡­ Mo Wuji did not take these comments to heart. He could recognise the owner of the attractive voice that said the last sentence: the dashing youth that gave away three spirit stones. Once he heard that he spent a whole six hours in the lightning tempering room, Mo Wuji panicked, sprinting towards to first floor. He had a total of 100 spirit stones, subtract the charges for these six hours, how many were left? ¡°I¡¯m here to check out of the tempering room¡­¡± Mo Wuji frantically pushed his jade slip through the counter window. The slip was received, and out of the window a pile of 30 spirit stones came, ¡°Training for six hours, total cost: 70 low grade spirit stones. You have 30 spirit stones left¡­¡± As expected it was six hours, and Mo Wuji could only recoup 30 spirit stones. But perhaps his biggest worry now was not the amount of spirit stones that had been spent. It would be the problem that he could only open 36 meridians. Once he returned to the North Water Inn, Mo Wuji quickly took out the refining equipment to begin refining drugs. He still held on to a last shred of hope: the channel opening solution was rendered ineffective by the lightning strikes. A short half an hour later, the first bottle of channel opening solution was ready. Without even transferring the solution into a bottle, Mo Wuji gulped it down. Unfortunately, there was no difference from before. A slight burning sensation appeared in his throat, then any effects of the solution disappeared completely. The line of fire sensation no longer existed. Sigh, I guess this channel opening solution will not have any effect on me any more. However, Mo Wuji did not choose to check out of his room immediately to return to the Formless Blade Sect. Instead, he sat in the room, thinking hard. Determination was one thing that he did not lack, but with mortal spirit roots, he would be nothing without the channel opening solution to help him to open his meridians. What could he do if he couldn¡¯t cultivate? Rely on his neverending drive and passion? Or his never say die attitude? These things would be a joke in front of true power. No matter what drive or attitude he had, it was all for one goal: to get stronger. After many rounds of pondering, the conclusion he had was that his only advantage was in the channel opening solution. Because this solution could open up his meridians one after the other, thereby increasing his potential time after time. For him to rise up in this era where immortal masters could be found aplenty, he had to rely on the channel opening solution. It might have been born out of an accident on Earth, but there information from an incomplete drug formula that he bought for a high price was incorporated in too. Earth had few spiritual herbs due to the lack of spiritual energy. But the place he was at now was rich in spiritual energy, and spiritual herbs could be found everywhere. Could he simply adjust the channel opening solution¡¯s formula, and change some of the normal herbs into spiritual herbs? After all, he was a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator, so perhaps some of those ordinary herbs were not strong enough to open the meridians of a cultivator in the intermediate Channel Opening Stage. At this point, Mo Wuji very invigorated with energy, and quickly began to write the formula for the channel opening solution on a piece of paper. The main ingredients of the channel opening solution were Longyan Grass, Cai Fruit, Milletia, Dark Yellow Ginseng, Vein of Thousand Year Pine Tree, Fire Essence Stone, Night-Purple, Hundred Year Old Lingzhi¡­ Longyan Grass that were ten years old and below were ordinary herbs; those between 10 to 100 years old were considered valuable; and only those over 100 years old were considered a Tier 1 Spiritual Herb. Previously he chose Lonyan Grass that were 10 years old or younger, but for the new formula he would use those 100 years or older. The Cai Fruit was simply an ordinary ingredient, without any difference for how old it was, so no changes were required. The Vein of Thousand Year Pine Tree could be changed to a Vein of Ten Thousand Year Pine Tree, but a Vein of Ten Thousand Year Pine Tree was considered a Tier 3 Spiritual Herb, and was difficult to obtain. There were also good and bad quality Fire Essence Stones. The best ones did not have any spots of impurities in them, and looked as red as chicken blood. When he refined the solution previously, he used Fire Essence Stones regardless of quality, so for the new formula, it would include only pure ones. Dark Yellow Ginseng and Lingzhi would also be changed to those 1000 years old and above, as only then would they be barely considered spiritual herbs. The new formula would have to use herbs of at least 1000 years old. The older, the better. It took a good half a day to completely overhaul the drug formula. While the list of herbs was not altered, but most of the herbs were changed to equivalent spiritual herbs. As for the Lotus Strips, Mo Wuji decided to use Treasured Blood Lotuses instead. They were excellent spiritual herbs, and could definitely take the place of ordinary Lotus Strips. ¡­ In Fringe City, the place with the greatest human traffic was neither the Pill Chamber, nor the Equipment Chamber, but the area where herbs were transacted. In Fringe City, the hottest place for herb transactions was not at a merchant house, but at a large hall, which locals called the Fringe City Herb Transaction Hall. Everyone that came to Fringe City bought and sold herbs there, or went there to put up requests for particular herbs. Once Mo Wuji arrived at the Herb Transaction Hall, he almost thought that he had returned back to Earth. It was a near replica of a stock exchange, or rather a herb exchange on Earth. Large monitors hung from the four walls of the hall, and information of the herb prices changed furiously on the screens. Both purchase price and selling prices were included. The human traffic within the hall was extremely heavy, as people streamed in and out continuously, each carrying a large bag. A myriad of smells from different types of herbs wafted through the hall, causing a heavy herb smell to linger around the whole hall. Other than some large signages, Mo Wuji could see many other handwritten signs hanging all around. These signs were all requests to buy a particular herb, or to sell a particular rare herb, without any exceptions. The amount of spiritual herbs that Mo Wuji needed was quite sizeable, the only problem was that he did not know the market prices, and there were simply was too many people around. As a result, he just spent five spirit stones to put up a request for the spiritual herbs that he required, and at the same time place the address of the North Water Inn underneath it, before returning to the Inn to wait for responses. ¡­ The price of five spirit stones as an advertising fee did not seem cheap to Mo Wuji, but these five spirit stones was money well spent. Within two hours, many people came rushing to the North Water Inn with the spiritual herbs that he required. Mo Wuji¡¯s original plan was to purchase one to two sets of the spiritual herbs for a preliminary attempt. But on the day itself, he received over ten offers to sell him the spiritual herbs, and more people were still coming to the North Water Inn to do trade with him. Initially, he could still purchase the spiritual herbs with spirit stones, but eventually he had to start paying with pills. Fortunately his pills were the high in demand Tier 1 Mortal Pills, which were more valuable to cultivators than spirit stones. Thankfully his purchase advertisement expired after half a day, and he finally found some peace and quiet on the next day. By that point he had already bought over 30 sets of the spiritual herbs, and spent all of the spirit stones he had left. Even half of his pills were gone. The only thing was that he managed to buy all other herbs but the Treasured Blood Lotus. At first, Mo Wuji thought that since the Treasured Blood Lotus could be cultivated in the Formless Blade Sect, it would be easy to procure, but in reality, he did not receive a single one. He even specially went to the various merchant houses around town, just to discover that while the Treasured Blood Lotus was merely a Tier 3 Spiritual Herb, it¡¯s price was astronomical. He simply could not afford it. Recalling that his home, the Lotus Sword Summit, was previously where Elder Guan Li grew Treasured Blood Lotuses, Mo Wuji decided to return to ask if the Formless Blade Sect had any of them. Chapter 102: Implicated Chapter 102: Implicated Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Medicine King Summit. This was the only summit in the Formless Blade Sect without ''sword'' in it''s name. It was also the summit that Yan Qianyin was staying in. It''s said that the the Medicine King Summit used to be blossomed with spiritual ingredients. However, after time, it became like the other summits, where the spiritual ingredients were planted by the cultivators. When Mo Wuji entered the foot of the Medicine King Mountain, he was immediately stopped. It was an ingredient girl who wasn''t even 20 years old. "Greetings junior apprentice sister, I''m Mo Wuji from the Lotus Sword Summit. I''ve specially come to see senior apprentice sister Yan. Please help me inform here." Mo Wuji knew that in the entire Formless Blade Sect, only his Lotus Sword Summit was without defences. It wasn''t because he didn''t need it, but because he didn''t have the power to install any. "So it''s Lotus Sword Summit''s senior apprentice brother Mo. Before Pill Master Yan left, she told me that senior apprentice brother Mo can directly come in. Please feel free to bring Yan''Er back." The ingredient girl hurried and bowed. Mo Wuji could not help but be disappointed, as he quickly asked, "Senior apprentice sister is not here?" Besides coming to fetch Yan''Er, Mo Wuji also came to ask Yan Qianyin about the Lotus Sword Summit. Naturally, it was to ask about the Treasured Blood Lotus. "Senior apprentice sister has been invited to take part in the Pill Refiner''s Exchange. Senior apprentice brother can follow me to the guest room to rest," the ingredient girl said politely. Since Yan Qianyin wasn''t at the Medicine King Summit, Mo Wuji did not intend to waste time at the Medicine King Summit. He immediately said, "Many thanks junior apprentice sister. I will just be fetching Yan''Er. I will visit again when senior apprentice sister Yan returns." "Of course. Please wait for a moment." Clearly, the ingredient girl had already received instructions from Yan Qianyin. With that sentence, she hurried in. Mo Wuji only waited for a few minutes before the ingredient girl returned with Yan''Er and Xiong Xiuzhu. At the same time, she was carrying a huge package on her back. "Before she left, senior apprentice sister Yan instructed me to pass this to senior apprentice brother Mo," The ingredient girl passed the package to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not need to open the package to smell the herbal aroma. He guessed that this should be the Tier 3 spiritual ingredients which Yan Qianyin promised him. Since he could no longer open any meridians, these spiritual ingredients really came at the right time. He couldn''t cultivate, so he could use these spiritual herbs to improve his pill refining level. Mo Wuji was extremely grateful towards Yan Qianyin. In reality, even if he did not pass her the Revolving Star Passage Technique, he could not have kept it. To view this from another perspective, Yan Qianyin had helped him by protecting him from being questioned. Even still, she maintained her promise and passed him a batch of Tier 3 spiritual ingredients. ... After he returned to the Lotus Sword Summit, Mo Wuji did not immediately pen to package to see his spiritual herbs. Instead, he immediately rushed to the sect''s Scripture Library. Mo Wuji did not come to see the cultivation manuals; hiswas more than enough for him. Regarding skills, he wasn''t even qualified to view them. Moreover, he also had this Invisible Sword skill in addition to his Revolving Star Passage Technique. He came primarily to investigate about the Lotus Sword Summit. To concoct the upgraded channel opening solution, he needed higher graded ingredients. He had already gotten his hands on all of them, except the Treasured Blood Lotus. In the Formless Blade Sect, Guan Li was the one who cultivated Treasured Blood Lotuses. Naturally, Mo Wuji hoped that he could find out more about the Treasured Blood Lotus or Guan Li from the sect''s manuals. What disappointed Mo Wuji was that after spending an entire day and sweeping through countless of books, he only learnt that Elder Guan Li used to reside at the Lotus Sword Summit. He did not manage to find out about anything else. However, Mo Wuji wasn''t disheartened. He decided to ask Fei Bingzhu instead. Fei Bingzhu spent a much longer time than him in Formless Blade Sect; he should have a deeper understanding about the Lotus Sword Summit. Once again, Mo Wuji made a trip to the Hall of Affairs. After seeing Mo Wuji, a few service disciples who recognised him rushed to bow and pay respects. Even a few outer disciples stopped and bowed. A guest pill refiner was a respected figure in the sect. When he arrived at the spiritual herbs warehouse, Mo Wuji found that Fei Bingzhu wasn''t there. Instead, it was a disciple he had never seen before. "Pill Master Mo..." Ostensibly, this disciple recognised Mo Wuji. As he saw Mo Wuji walking over, he immediately bowed. Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "May I ask why Fei Bingzhu isn''t here? Did he get transferred out?" After the disciple heard Mo Wuji ask about Fei Bingzhu, he seemed to have something stuck in his throat, and he did not seem like he was intending to talk. Mo Wuji''s expression turned serious and his tone went cold, "Where did Fei Bingzhu go? My patience has its limits". Seeing Mo Wuji''s rage, the disciple immediately startled, "Please quell your anger Pill Master Mo. When I came, senior apprentice brother Fei was already gone. I heard that he made a mistake when dispensing the herbs, and he was sentenced to death by Pill Master Ju..." "That Ju again..." Mo Wuji was thoroughly furious in his heart. If the previous conflicts between him and Pill Master Ju were considered small, now that Fei Bingzhu was killed, they could no longer be small anymore. However, he was currently being limited by his cultivation ability and his pill refining ability. He had no means of finding Pill Master Ju to help Fei Bingzhu seek revenge. Mo Wuji did not continue to talk any nonsense; there was no point getting angry at this disciple. "Pill Master Mo, please wait..." As Mo Wuji was about to leave the Hall of Affairs, a soft voice called out to stop him. He turned to see a youth who was around the age of Fei Bingzhu. From his attire, he should be an outer disciple. "You are?" Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at the disciple who called him. The outer disciple hurried to say, "I''m an outer disciple, Wu Rongzhi. Before junior apprentice brother Fei got taken away, he pleaded me to find you, but at that time, you weren''t at the Lotus Sword Summit. Actually, junior apprentice brother did not get taken away for dispensing the wrong ingredients. He was taken away because he spoke up for you." "What exactly happened?" Mo Wuji''s face turned cold. If Fei Bingzhu had been implicated by him, which resulted in him getting killed by that Ju fella, Mo Wuji definitely needed to seek revenge. If not now, then in the future. Wu Rongzhi immediately replied, "The other day, the people in the Hall of Affairs were discussing about how Pill Master Ju was going to advance to be an Earth Pill Refiner. After Pill Master Yan, he would then be the next most talented pill refiner in the Formless Blade Sect. It was nothing at first, but that person started talking about Pill Master Mo. He said that Pill Master Ju had the skill, while you only relied on Pill Master Yan. If not for Pill Master Yan, you wouldn''t have qualified to even clean Pill Master Ju''s shoes. At that point, junior apprentice brother Fei interrupted and defended you. He said, "Pill Master Ju is indeed a talented pill refiner. However, Pill Master Mo''s success was not due to Pill Master Yan, but his knowledge on pill refinement. Pill Master Mo was a mere service disciple, with no access to teachings and resources. He had to work much harder than everyone else in order to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill refiner." That day, Pill Master Ju''s ingredient boy was also in the Hall of Affairs, and junior apprentice Fei''s words infuriated him. That ingredient boy is very sinister; he did not say anything, he only went to get junior apprentice brother Fei to dispense ingredients for him. It was only at night when the ingredient boy brought people from the Enforcement Hall. He said that junior apprentice brother Fei had made a mistake, which caused Pill Master Ju''s pill refinement to fail. The people from the Enforcement Hall immediately took junior apprentice brother Fei away..." Mo Wuji''s expression started to turn ugly. Pill Master Ju was a Tier 3 pill refiner. He couldn''t even tell that he took the wrong ingredients? And his ingredient boy really had big balls. He dared to deliver wrong ingredients? "Pill Master Mo, I heard that Pill Master Ju is currently attending some Pill Refiner''s Exchange with Pill Master Yan. Junior apprentice brother Fei should still be locked up in the Enforcement Hall, I think..." Wu Rongzhi spoke with a bit of hesitation. Mo Wuji immediately understood the meaning behind Wu Rongzhi''s words, and he did not hesitate to say, "I will go to the Enforcement Hall right now." If Fei Bingzhu had already been killed, Mo Wuji could only help him take revenge in the future. But since Fei Bingzhu was still alive, Mo Wuji had to try all means to help save his life. Chapter 103: Kindness Is Rewarded Chapter 103: Kindness Is Rewarded Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Pill Master Mo!" The person in charge at the Enforcement Hall saw Mo Wuji from afar and hurried to greet him. A guest pill refiner was not a typical figure within the sect. Furthermore, as a cultivator, who could sure that they would not need to seek a pill refiner''s help to concoct pills? Moreover, after the Formless Blade Mountain incident, the sect had lesser pill refiners. Furthermore, this Pill Master Mo had the favor of Pill Master Yan, there was no harm from forming good relations with him. If not for the lack of proper reasons, many people would take the initiative to make friends with Mo Wuji. "May I know how I can address this deacon here?" Mo Wuji politely said. Even though he knew that the Enforcement Hall liked to show off their strength, it wasn''t due to the Enforcement Hall itself, but the people from it. This person in charge hurried to reply, "Pill Master Mo can just call me Gong Qian. I didn''t know that Pill Master Mo is coming to the Enforcement Hall, please pardon my neglect." From Gong Qian''s attitude to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could tell that this person wasn''t the Enforcement Hall Master; he wasn''t even a deacon. If he was, he would not have treated Mo Wuji with such politeness. The Enforcement Hall Master was an elder, so Mo Wuji would have been the one who needed to bow and be polite. "Brother Gong, thanks for the courtesy. I''ve come to find the Enforcement Hall Master. This is because a distant relative of mine got brought in to the Enforcement Hall. I''ve come to request the Hall Master to make an exception for me. I hope Brother Gong can help me inform him of my visit," Mo Wuji said warmly. Mo Wuji was sure that the Enforcement Hall Master would not know of such a small matter, so he suggested meeting the Hall Master. Mo Wuji knew that this Gong Qian definitely wouldn''t inform the Hall Master. He might not even want the Hall Master to know of this. After Gong Qian heard that Mo Wuji was there to inquire about a prisoner, he hurried to ask, "I don''t know who is Mo Wuji''s distant relative..." "Fei Bingzhu, he''s the disciple at the spiritual herbs warehouse." Mo Wuji said calmly. Gong Qian was momentarily at a loss for words. He was the one who caught Fei Bingzhu, and the reason was because Fei Bingzhu had offended Pill Master Ju¡¯s ingredient boy. However, after he caught Fei Bingzhu, he heard that Pill Master had left the sect to attend a Pill Refiner''s Exchange, so there weren''t any follow-up instructions. He did not expect that Fei Bingzhu actually had ties to Pill Master Mo. At this moment, he wasn''t sure whether Pill Master Ju was even aware of this situation. If he was, then Gong Qian would rather offend Pill Master Mo instead of Pill Master Ju. However, if this was just the shenanigans of the ingredient boy, then he would have offended Pill Master Mo for nothing. ¡°Why? Is it so hard to inform the Hall Master?¡± Mo Wuji''s voice turned cold. ¡°No, no¡­¡± Even though Gong Qian wasn''t afraid of Mo Wuji, he knew that Mo Wuji was not your typical person. I''m not going to care anymore. I will let Fei Bingzhu out first then talk about it in the future. If it was really the instructions of Pill Master Ju to grab Fei Bingzhu, then I will simply push all the blame to this Mo fella. If Pill Master Ju doesn''t ask anything, I will just take as though nothing has happened. As he thought of that, Gong Qian hurried to say, ¡°Because Pill Master Ju''s ingredient boy reported that Fei Bingzhu dispensed the wrong ingredients so I brought him in. Without the instructions from Pill Master Ju, I cannot casually let him go¡­¡± Mo Wuji said plainly, ¡°If anyone asks you, you tell them that it was I, Mo Wuji, who took Fei Bingzhu away. If they have anything to say, they can find me, Mo Wuji.¡± This were the exact words that Gong Qian wanted to hear. Now that Mo Wuji had said them, he did not have any worries as he went to the prison room to bring Fei Bingzhu out. Fei Bingzhu had bruises all over his body, and his hair was tussled; he had obviously suffered quite a bit. He did not know why he was suddenly being brought out, until he saw Mo Wuji. He immediately made sense of the situation and he hurried forward to express his gratitude, but Mo Wuji stopped him. After clasping his fists towards Gong Qian, Mo Wuji quickly brought Fei Bingzhu away. ... After an hour, Fei Bingzhu had regained much of his spirit after washing up and eating at the Lotus Sword Summit. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, if not for you, I would definitely have ended up dead. That Ju fella''s ingredient boy is too much. I only said a simple sentence but he wanted to kill me. Luckily, that Ju fella went to the Pill Refiner''s Exchange. If not, I would not have lasted till today," After his body had recovered, Fei Bingzhu hurried to thank Mo Wuji. After some simple inquiring, Mo Wuji found that Wu Rongzhi was not lying. Fei Bingzhu only helped to speak up for him, and did not belittle Pill Master Ju at all, but he was still sent to the Enforcement Hall. "Junior apprentice brother Fei, if you do not mind, you can just stay in my Lotus Sword Summit." Mo Wuji knew that Fei Bingzhu no longer had anywhere he could go, Fei Bingzhu had a good personality. Mo Wuji did not mind keeping him, or even help him out. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, thanks for letting me stay. I have been dispensing drugs for many years, and I have a basic understanding towards the various kinds of drugs. If you need an ingredient boy, I believe I could help." Fei Bingzhu knew that Mo Wuji did not like unnecessary words of courtesy so he went straight to the point. Mo Wuji laughed, "I really do need junior apprentice brother Fei''s help. Do you know anything about the Treasured Blood Lotus or Guan Li?" Hearing Mo Wuji inquire about Guan Li and the Treasured Blood Lotus, Fei Bingzhu hurried to say, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, I''m not bragging when I say this, but in the entire Formless Blade Sect, I have the deepest understanding towards Elder Guan." Seeing how Mo Wuji looked at him in doubt, Fei Bingzhu started blabbering, "It¡¯s because my grandfather was the one who helped Elder Li cultivate his Treasured Blood Lotus for over ten years. It was only after Elder Guan passed away that my grandfather got sent to the spiritual herbs warehouse. It was also because of my grandfather that I managed to work in the spiritual herbs warehouse as well." Hearing Fei Bingzhu''s words, Mo Wuji instantly got enlivened and asked, "Junior apprentice brother Fei, I''m in urgent need for the Treasured Blood Lotus, but I can¡¯t seem to find it at the various big merchant houses..." Fei Bingzhu did not wait for Mo Wuji to finish as he said, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, it is normal that you didn''t manage to find it. It would be abnormal if you did. Even though the Treasured Blood Lotus is a Tier 3 spiritual ingredient, it''s value is not less than Tier 4 spiritual ingredients. This is primarily because is needed to concoct many pills which are useful for spirit channels. Moreover, the Treasured Blood Lotus is a sort of delicacy. Not only is it tasty, it can strengthen your blood and improve your complexion. Many sects want it, and its price is getting higher. The moment one comes out, it gets instantly snatched away. You definitely wouldn''t be able to find it out in the market." Mo Wuji sighed. No wonder why he couldn''t find the Treasured Blood Lotus. Not only was it used to concoct pills related to spirit channels, it was even coveted by wealthy people to eat as a dish. To any cultivator, the spirit channels were the most important things. Just like spiritual roots, the more spirit channels they could open, the higher their potential. Since the Treasured Blood Lotus could help with spirit channels, its price would naturally be inflated. The reason why he was finding the Treasured Blood Lotus, was also to open his meridians. "And these aren''t the only reasons why Treasured Blood Lotuses are so rare. Besides the difficulty in cultivating it, it also absorbs insane amounts of spiritual energy. Places which were originally rich in spiritual energy would become scarce in it after planting the Treasured Blood Lotus. And this spiritual energy scarcity was hard to recover from." Fei Bingzhu''s understanding towards the Treasured Blood Lotus was clearly not shallow. "Junior apprentice brother Fei, I want to grow some Treasured Blood Lotus. Do you know where I can obtain some seeds?" Mo Wuji set his mind to ask. Fei Bingzhu shook his head, "The Treasured Blood Lotus seeds cannot be purchased..." When Mo Wuji heard that sentence, it was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, drenching him entirely. Fei Bingzhu continued to say, "However, there is some ways to get the Treasured Blood Lotus seeds from Lotus Sword Summit..." "Hurry and say.." Mo Wuji agitatedly stood up and grabbed Fei Bingzhu. Fei Bingzhu hurriedly said, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, don''t get too anxious. My grandfather had told me before, that after Elder Guan left, he did not dig up all the Treasured Blood Lotus on Lotus Sword Mountain. Instead, he left the lotus roots within the lake. The roots can only be found by people who are proficient with the Treasured Blood Lotus. Luckily, I am one such person. Even though I did not personally grow a Treasured Blood Lotus before, my grandfather passed to me all his knowledge regarding this matter. If senior apprentice brother Mo trusts me, I can immediately go into the lake to find the abandoned lotus roots. However, the spiritual energy here is scarce, so you can''t cultivate many Treasured Blood Lotus here." Mo Wuji patted Fei Bingzhu, "Being able to cultivate it is enough. It doesn''t matter how much. Bingzhu, I leave this matter to you then." Mo Wuji was ecstatic. Good deeds really had compensations. If he did not save Fei Bingzhu, how could he learn about the Treasured Blood Lotus? Even if he couldn''t find the Treasured Blood Lotus in Lotus Sword Summit, with Fei Bingzhu''s proficiency in it, he would definitely be able to find it someone else. Chapter 104: The Surprising Formula Chapter 104: The Surprising Formula Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: While Fei Bingzhu was searching for the Treasured Blood Lotus seeds, Mo Wuji was thinking of a way to advance to a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. If his pill refinement quality was higher, he would have more opportunities to approach Granny Linglong. Back in his room, Mo Wuji opened the package which Yan Qianyin left behind. There were close to a hundred Tier 3 spiritual herbs in it. The number of Tier 3 spiritual herbs could at most allow Mo Wuji to refine over 10 Tier 3 spiritual pills. To do so, he needed to add in quite a few Tier 1 and Tier 2 spiritual herbs too. Mo Wuji was already very grateful to be able to receive these large number of Tier 3 spiritual herbs. Yan Qianyin¡¯s promise was to give him some Tier 3 spiritual herbs so he could learn how to refine a Tier 3 pill. The preceding condition was that Mo Wuji hand her the broken half of the sword so she could acquire the secret of the sword. Now that the broken sword was given to her, both parties should have gotten what they wished for. Perhaps Mo Wuji needed more out of the deal because Mo Wuji needed Yan Qianyin to hide the fact that he had already acquired the Revolving Star Passage Technique. Even so, Yan Qianyin still kept her end of the promise by giving him so many Tier 3 spiritual herbs. All these Tier 3 spiritual herbs amount to quite a fortune. Other than wanting to keep her promise, Yan Qianyin probably offered these items to Mo Wuji because she wanted to repay him for his life-saving grace. Mo Wuji saved her once, gave in to her at the Formless Blade Mountain as well as voluntarily handing her the legacy of Mo Luoqu. There was a letter placed on top of the spiritual herbs. After opening the letter, Mo Wuji realised that it was written by Yan Qianyin. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Mo, these spiritual herbs are what I promised you. Feel free to use as much as you want to practice. I will not be giving you the complete Tier 3 pill formula but I have here a fragmentary one for you to practice with it. Even though these spiritual herbs alone may not help you advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner, it can help you increase your understanding for Tier 3 spiritual pills. Given the quality of your spiritual roots, it is already a remarkable achievement for you to advance to become a Tier 2 pill refiner. Don¡¯t be too disheartened even if you cannot advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. As a Tier 2 pill refiner, you would be able to gain a foothold wherever you go. Pill Master Ju and I will be heading to the Pill Refiners¡¯ Exchange to prepare for the competition at the Five Elements Desolate Domain. I am not sure when we will return to the sect from this exchange but I will keep to the end of my promise and bring you with me for the Five Elements Desolate Domain half a year later. Medicine King Summit, Yan Qianyin signing off.¡± The reason why Yan Qianyin left this letter behind was very clear: She knew that Mo Wuji will definitely not be able to advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. No matter how good his pill refining skills are, he will never be able advance any further. Yan Qianyin did not give him the complete Tier 3 pill formula also because she was certain Mo Wuji will never be able to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. By leaving him with a fragmentary pill formula, she kept to the end of her promise as well as to convince him to give up trying to advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on the fragmentary pill formula the moment he kept the letter away. Even though Yan Qianyin had no confidence in him, Mo Wuji had full confidence that he will be able to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. Even if he was only able to reach Channel Opening Stage Level 4, he was confident he could advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. The only thing he was lacking was the spiritual herbs. As Mo Wuji already had the Wordless Pill manual which contained a few of the Tier 3 pill formula, he did not really care whether or not Yan Qianyin left any pill formula for him. As the formula of Tier 3 pills was still very precious, Mo Wuji was indeed curious to see how the fragmentary one that Yan Qianyin gave looked like. ¡°Spirit Strengthening Pill¡­¡± Mo Wuji felt a sense of familiarity the moment he saw this name. This pill was included in his Wordless Pill manual too. However, on the Wordless Pill manual, there was only a brief description of it: Spirit Strengthening Pill, a primary spiritual will pill. It is capable of increasing the soul force of the spiritual will of low level cultivators. As for the remaining, the Wordless Pill manual did not mention anything extra. How was Mo Wuji supposed to know about the soul force of the spiritual will if he did not even have a mentor? The pill formula that Yan Qianyin gave actually had a detailed description of the Spirit Strengthening Pill. In fact, the description itself actually took up half the space of the entire pill formula. In other words, this pill formula was actually meant to describe mainly about the Spirit Strengthening Pill and a few more spiritual herbs. This should not be called a fragmentary pill formula but rather, an introduction to a pill formula. As we all know, only cultivators who have formed the true primordial spirit after reaching the Nihility God Stage will be able to concentrate and make use of the spiritual will. The strength of those who are capable of using the power of spiritual will are far more superior than the average cultivators out there. Spirit Strengthening Pill is a pill capable of allowing those who are unable to reach the Nihility God Stage to strengthen their own spiritual will. Those with talent will even be able to concentrate and bring out the power of the spiritual will. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart skipped a beat the moment he read about the power of spiritual will. Even without a mentor, he knew a little about the spiritual will. He knew how incredibly strong the power of spiritual will was. Back then, because Mo Wuji did not have proper technique, he had to make use of his will power to control and direct the lightning bolt to help open his meridians. However, his type of will power was only a one sided affair. Out of the many times he tried to use it, he might not even succeed once. Even if he did succeed, it might not be due to his will power. Will power is the embryonic form of the spiritual will power. He only just learnt that spiritual will power can only be used or controlled by cultivators who have reached the Nihility God Stage and formed the primordial spirit. Mo Wuji also knew clearly that the Nihility God Stage is the third stage of the Earth Realm. Only after the Nihility God Stage will one be able to stand a chance to pry into the first stage of the Heaven Realm. It would benefit him tremendously if he were to succeed in concocting this pill. Even if he did not require will power to help open his meridians, he would probably need such spiritual will power when he was concocting pill. His pill technique was forcefully controlled by will power as the fact was that it required spiritual will power. Because he did not have spiritual will power, even with strong will power, he still had to borrow some primordial power to control the will power. Due to this, it resulted in many failures in the past. If he was capable of cultivating till he can use the spiritual will power, the quality of his pill refinement will increase by many folds. He might even be able to concoct an Earth grade pill. Once he made his decision, he will find a way to concoct this Spirit Strengthening Pill. Once he succeeded, his influence will be far greater than the influence on him when he concoct any other pills. Once he settled down, Mo Wuji started to compare the spiritual herbs of the fragmentary pill formula as well as the herbs on Wordless Pill manual to concoct a the Spirit Strengthening pill. The spiritual herbs mentioned in the fragmentary pill formula was only left with five types of which three of them were Tier 2 spiritual herbs. The remaining two Tier 3 spiritual herbs includes Icy Soul Grass as well as Golden Fetal. Mo Wuji did not care much about the Tier 2 herbs because he was confident he would be able to get it from many places. There were 11 types of Tier 2 spiritual herbs mentioned in the Wordless pill manual for the Spirit Strengthening Pill. Mo Wuji looked through everything and knew that he could get almost all of these herbs easily. There were actually only five Tier 3 spiritual herbs recorded in the manual. These were the Icy Soul Grass, Leafless Fog Rattan, Green Frost Fruit, Little Freedom Flower and Round-whisked Wind Fruit. It is considered rare for a Tier 3 spiritual pill to only contain five Tier 3 spiritual herbs. Comparing the two formulas, Mo Wuji realised that the three types of Tier 2 spiritual herbs mentioned in the fragmentary formula Yan Qianyin gave were also mentioned in the Wordless Pill manual. However, there was no Golden Fetal in the five spiritual herbs mentioned in the Wordless Pill manual. Mo Wuji did not hesitate as he has decided to follow the formula on the Wordless Pill manual to attempt to research and refine about the Spirit Strengthening Pill. Out of the five Tier 3 spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji only collected three stalks of the Round-whisked Wind Fruit from the Formless Blade Mountain. The package that Yan Qianyin gave him had some Icy Soul Grass as well as the Green Frost Fruit. Currently, he only lacked the Little Freedom Flower and the Leafless Fog Rattan. Mo Wuji immediately left the Lotus Sword Summit for the Hall of Affairs without even asking how Fei Bingzhu¡¯s search for the Treasured Blood Lotus Seeds went. Even though as a guest pill refiner, Mo Wuji will not get the same privilege to use as much sect¡¯s resources as a sect¡¯s pill refiner, he will still be able to use a small portion of the spiritual herbs. He was intending to use these rights to purchase a pot of Spirit Strengthening Pill¡¯s spiritual herbs. What Mo Wuji needed was not just a pot of spiritual herbs. If he were to research on how to concoct the pill, he would need at least 10 pots of it. However, Mo Wuji had no such authority to ask for 10 pots of such rare herbs. Furthermore, he would be lacking a lot of the Tier 2 spiritual herbs too. Fortunately in the package that Yan Qianyin sent over, there were some of the Tier 3 spiritual herbs which Mo Wuji did not find useful for this. He could exchange these herbs for those that he needed. Given his status now as a guest pill refiner, he would give those disciples at the dispensary the shock of their lives if he were to go down to exchange for these herbs personally. Chapter 105: Bullied At Your Own Home Chapter 105: Bullied At Your Own Home Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji did not guess wrongly; he was allowed to exchange spiritual herbs. Moreover the disciple at the spiritual herbs warehouse was startled when he saw Mo Wuji, so Mo Wuji was easily able to exchange for the herbs he wanted. In addition to what he already had, Mo Wuji had gathered a total of spiritual herbs enough for 11 batches of Spirit Strengthening Pills. With 11 batches at hand, Mo Wuji did not immediately rush into concocted pills. Instead, he went to accept a large amounts of Tier 2 Pill Refinement Tasks. After all, he was only a Tier 2 pill refiner, and his experience with concocting Tier 2 spiritual pills was limited. If he wanted to concoct Tier 3 pills, he needed to move one step at a time. Through concocting Tier 2 spiritual pills, he would be able to improve his capabilities in the shortest period of time. Yan Qianyin had told him before, the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition would take place half a year later. In this mere half a year, he would need to advance to a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. That''s when he could have the opportunity to qualify to enter the pill competition and meet Granny Linglong. Previously, Mo Wuji was wholeheartedly cultivating and opening his meridians. Even though he had to perform duties for the sect, he wasn''t very active in them. Now, however, after accepting the various pill refinement tasks, he knew how wonderful it was to be a pill refiner. There was no danger in helping the sect concoct pills, but the amount of sect contribution points he could earn was sky high. But this was not the most pleasant surprise he received. The most pleasant surprise was that he would be allocated 13 batches of ingredients to concoct 10 batches of pills. At the same time, he would only need to give the sect 80% of the maximum batch size. A batch of pills usually had a maximum batch size of 12, 9 or 6. Very few had a maximum batch size of 18. Regardless of the batch size, concocting pills under these conditions, it''s hard not to get rich. If Mo Wuji had known earlier the benefits of concocting pills for the sect, he would have accepted these tasks sooner. Not only could he obtain various pills, he can earn a whole pile of spiritual herbs and contribution points. At this point, Mo Wuji understood why Yan Qianyin wanted him to accept some of these pill refinement tasks. It was because she meant well for him. Especially the sect contribution points; they had so many uses and could be used to exchange for all sorts of stuff. At this moment, Mo Wuji needed large amounts of Tier 3 spiritual herbs, and he could use the sect contribution points to exchange for that. Actually, all this was a misunderstanding on Mo Wuji''s part. For an average pill refiner, being able to have a success rate of 80% was already extremely exceptional. Furthermore, when concocting pills, it would not always produce at maximum batch size. So it wasn''t the sect''s intention for the pill refiners to retain many pills and spiritual herbs. However, Mo Wuji did not know all this. After all, he had the wordless pill manual which taught him to concoct pills using hand and pill techniques. When he was at Formless Blade Mountain, he had a 100% success rate when concocting Tier 1 pills. In reality, how many pill refiners had success rates as high as his? After accepting the various pill refinement tasks, Mo Wuji chose to go to Pharmacy 19. It was rumoured that concocting at Pharmacy 19 would lower the success rates, but Mo Wuji did not care. He was now a Tier 2 pill refiner, he should be able to concoct Tier 2 pills. Moreover, using a more difficult pill furnace could help improve his standards. Mo Wuji did not call Fei Bingzhu, but asked Wu Kai to arrange him an ingredient boy. In the entire month, besides the brief, daily visits to Yan''Er daily, Mo Wuji spent the rest of the time concocting pills. In this month, Mo Wuji didn''t know the exact number of Tier 2 pills he concocted, but he had already accumulated a whole stockpile of pills. Towards the end, he did not even bother cleaning the pill furnace and directly started purifying the spiritual ingredients. Every batch of pills still flowed out smoothly without a hiccup. At the same time, all the pills he concocted were of high quality. The leftover spiritual herbs and expensive pills were all exchanged for Tier 3 spiritual herbs as Mo Wuji started to prepare to concoct Tier 3 pills. However, he did not manage to gather enough spiritual herbs for a 12th batch of Spirit Strengthening Pills no matter how he exchanged. Virtually all the herbs needed for the Spirit Strengthening Pills in the sect were owned by him. Moreover, going out of the sect to exchange for herbs would require too much time, and this was not what Mo Wuji wanted. Time was too precious for him. Still, Mo Wuji did not mind. The Spirit Strengthening Pill was just one of his aims; he had a more important aim, which was to become a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Mo Wuji first practised with the Tier 3 Mortality Transcending Pill. This pill could help increase a Spirit Building Stage cultivator¡¯s chances at advancing into the Transcending Mortality Stage. It was relatively simple to concoct, and its value was not low. As he started to concoct a Tier 3 pill, Mo Wuji was no longer as casual as he had been with the Tier 2 pills. He cautiously ignited the earth fire and started to clean the pill furnace. It was only after cleaning the pill furnace thrice before he sent the spiritual herbs in for purification. The Mortality Transcending Pill required a total of 20 pills, of which there were eight varieties of Tier 3 spiritual herbs. This was even more than the Spirit Strengthening Pill. The rest were either Tier 1 or Tier 2 spiritual herbs. Mo Wuji spent a whole two hours on purifying the herbs, most of which were spent on the Tier 3 spiritual herbs. Even though it seemed like a simple and small increase in tier level, the difficulty in purifying a Tier 3 spiritual herb was multiple times higher than a Tier 2 one. These few strains of Tier 3 spiritual herbs already expended so much of his energy. Mo Wuji could only imagine how difficult it would be to become an Earth Pill Refiner. Purifying the herbs was merely an opening act; the real show came in the fusing of the medicinal essences and the condensing of the pills. As Mo Wuji just started to fuse the medicinal essences, he felt a tumble within the pill furnace followed by the a pungent scent. Mo Wuji''s heart sank; he knew that his fusion had failed. He just started on his first batch of Tier 3 pills but he was immediately met with failure. Mo Wuji did not continue to attempt on a second batch, as he was clear that this was not a problem with his hand and pill techniques, but a matter with his cultivation. He did not have enough spiritual energy to control the proper fusion of the essences. Perhaps with a few more batches, his experience might prolong the fusion process, but it would still ultimately end in failure. If he did not improve his cultivation, and merely depended on his techniques, he might only be able to advance to a Tier 3 pill refiner a few years later. Moreover, this would require countless Tier 3 spiritual herbs for practice. Yan Qianyin was not lying to him; if he did not increase his cultivation, it would be difficult to surpass Tier 2. It would be same no matter how good his techniques were. To become a Tier 3 pill refiner in the shortest period of time, he would need to raise his cultivation. To do that, he must continue to open more meridians. Mo Wuji sighed dispiritedly as he packed up his herbs and stopped his pill concocting session. ¡­ ¡°Big sis Xiong, where''s Bingzhu?¡± When he returned to Lotus Sword Summit, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to find Fei Bingzhu. Over the past month, he was too engrossed with his pills, and was unaware of Fei Bingzhu''s progress with the Treasured Blood Lotus. Now that he needed to open more meridians, he wanted to ask Fei Bingzhu about the probabilities of finding the Treasured Blood Lotus at the Lotus Sword Summit. If it was really impossible to find the Treasured Blood Lotus at the Lotus Sword Summit, he will not continue to stay here and waste time. ¡°Deacon Fei has gone to the Blood Lotus Lake. He told me to inform you, the moment you come back, to find him there,¡± Xiong Xiuzhu hurriedly replied. When Mo Wuji heard that, his spirits immediately got enlivened. He did not even give a reply to Xiong Xiuzhu as he rushed towards the Blood Lotus Lake. ¡°Pill Master Meng, brother Fei is a friend of the Lotus Sword Summit Lord Mo. Now that you already have the lotus, please let him go.¡± Before he even reached the Blood Lotus Lake, Mo Wuji could hear Wu Kai''s pleading voice from afar. ¡°Fei Bingzhu, what''s going on?¡± With a few steps, Mo Wuji landed in a pool of blood, right by Fei Bingzhu. Chapter 106: Fearless Chapter 106: Fearless Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Upon sighting Mo Wuji, Fei Bingzhu struggled to stand up. The two sides of his face were red and swollen from being slapped, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood. Other than that, a stream of blood flowed down his chest, evidently from a sword wound. Mo Wuji swiftly went forward to hold Fei Bingzhu, throwing a few Wound Healing Pills into his mouth. The treatment pills he had were all the best quality Tier 2 Mortal Pills, hence they could stop the bleeding once Fei Bingzhu took them. ¡°Pill Master Mo¡­¡± Wu Kai stuttered. ¡°He took away my belongings¡­¡± Fei Bingzhu arduously raised his finger to point at the figure that was walking away. Needless to say, Mo Wuji had notice that guy that was trying to leave. Once he saw Mo Wuji approaching, he turned and left, holding a dripping wet wooden box. But first, Mo Wuji carefully placed Fei Bingzhu on the ground, before taking a few quick steps to stop the perpetrator in his tracks, ¡°You¡¯re going to leave just like that after beating someone up?¡± This man looked like he was over 30 years old, with a pale complexion, and long hair draping down his back, somewhat like a rich heir. Before the man could reply, Wu Kai explained, ¡°Pill Master Mo, this is Pill Master Meng Boyu of our Formless Blade Sect. Pill Master Meng just advanced to become a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, and was just about to be assigned a sword summit.¡± Mo Wuji stepped forward, and the pale man stopped in his tracks. He stared at Mo Wuji coldly and said, ¡°You¡¯re the Mo Wuji that got his position through senior apprentice sister Yan right? Please remember to keep your dog in check. Don''t let it run around, biting people. Move out of the way now, otherwise I¡¯ll not only beat up the dog, but also its owner.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, I dug up a piece of Treasured Blood Lotus from the Blood Lotus Lake, but this man wanted to take it from me by force. I resisted, so he attacked and wounded me. The Treasured Blood Lotus in his hands belong to me.¡± Due to the effects of Mo Wuji¡¯s pills, Fei Bingzhu felt much better already. But the few people who were here, including Wu Kai, knew that if Mo Wuji did not arrive, Fei Bingzhu would have died from excessive blood loss. As a service disciple, Fei Bingzhu¡¯s death under the hands of a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner would not raise any eyebrows within the sect. At this point, Wu Kai was already in panic mode. If anything happened to Mo Wuji or Meng Boyu, he would have to take responsibility as the deacon of service disciples. Because everything occurred at the Blood Lotus Lake,after Mo Wuji had left it, he assigned the Blood Lotus Lake under Mo Wuji¡¯s name in order to please him. However, Meng Boyu suddenly wanted to possess this area out of the blue for reasons unknown. So Wu Kai could only follow Meng Boyu over, planning to wait till he had left, before going to report this incident to Mo Wuji. Based on his understanding of Mo Wuji, as long as he did not offend Pill Master Mo, there would still be space for negotiations. He believed that Mo Wuji could settle this matter off the books. Unexpectedly, when Wu Kai brought Meng Boyu to the Blood Lotus Lake, they met Fei Bingzhu, who was climbing out of the lake, and was holding a Treasured Blood Lotus in hand. The Treasured Blood Lotus gave off a light fragrance, and had a blood red appearance. This made Wu Kai very jealous, much less Meng Boyu, who was a pill refiner. Just as Wu Kai worried about Meng Boyu¡¯s response, Meng Boyu took a step forward as expected and sent Fei Bingzhu flying with a slap. Then, he retrieved the Treasured Blood Lotus and kept it into the wooden box that Fei Bingzhu had prepared. Fei Bingzhu naturally would not just let this slide. He not only got heavily injured by Meng Boyu, but almost got killed. If Mo Wuji did not show up, he would have been murdered already. ¡°So what, you want to get disciplined too?¡± Meng Boyu saw Mo Wuji blocking his way with a hostile look in his eyes. A mere service disciple that rose up based on his relationship with Yan Qianyin was no threat to him. He believed that he could kill Mo Wuji, and could settle this issue by himself. With a light chuckle, Mo Wuji stood to one side, opening up a path. This action was registered by Wu Kai, and he heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Mo Wuji gave in, this issue would not be blown out of proportions. Once Meng Boyu took the Treasured Blood Lotus away, he would likely let things slide. Seeing Mo Wuji giving way to him, Meng Boyu laughed coldly, and passed Mo Wuji from the side with a look of disdain on his face. He had obtained the Treasured Blood Lotus, and was not willing to blow things up. If not for the Treasured Blood Lotus, he would have taught Mo Wuji a lesson today. Mo Wuji¡¯s resistance was within his calculations. A mere service disciple. If Mo Wuji dared to attack him, he would kill without hesitation. Even if news of this spread to the ears of the sect head, he, a living Tier 2 Pill Refiner, would be of much greater value than a dead one. No matter how much senior apprentice sister Yan favoured Mo Wuji, she would not make an enemy just for a dead person. Moreover, he had the backing the second elder. As for who would win in a straight up fight, he did not think about it at all. With his cultivation being at Channel Opening Stage Level 9, only a step away from entering the Spirit Building Stage, would he even need to break a sweat against a service disciple who climbed up using connections? Even if he turned his back to Mo Wuji, there was nothing for him to worry about. What he did now did amount to turning his back to Mo Wuji too. Mo Wuji made his move the moment Meng Boyu brushed past him. He gathered nearly all the energy in his body into his fist, and landed a clean punch on the back of Meng Boyu. As someone in the intermediate Channel Opening Stage, this almost full strength punch immediately created multiple cracks and tears in Meng Boyu¡¯s heart. A spurt of blood flew out of Meng Boyu¡¯s mouth, as he reeled forwards for tens of steps before finally regaining his balance. The wooden box in his hand had already been thrown to one side. ¡°¡±You dare to kill a pill master of the sect¡­¡± Meng Boyu¡¯s voice was full of grief. While blood continued to dribble out of his mouth and his eyes became bloodshot, he pointed an accusatory finger at Mo Wuji. It was unclear if he forgot to take healing pills in a moment of rage, or if he simply did not bring any healing pills along at all. Meng Boyu never thought that Mo Wuji would have the gall to do such a thing, sneak attacking a Tier 2 Pill Master that was about to enter the Spirit Building Stage. Wu Kai was stunned, and stood at a side shivering in fear. He knew that no matter what happened from now on, there was no way to salvage the situation. His time as the deacon of service disciples had come to an end, and his life was even at risk. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. He was sure that he would not be able to put up a fight against Meng Boyu, so he decided to use a sneak attack. But he did not expect that with this one fist, Meng Boyu would still be alive. It seemed as though Meng Boyu¡¯s ability was many levels above his. If he did not utilise an ambush, but went on a frontal clash, he would be dead. Compared to protecting his own life, ambushing a man that bullied him did not put that much pressure on him. As for letting Meng Boyu go, this possibility did not run through Mo Wuji¡¯s mind at all. Notwithstanding that Meng Boyu had bullied him first, but he would definitely not give up that single stalk of Treasured Blood Lotus. Letting the Treasured Blood Lotus go was equivalent to letting go of any chances to cultivate further. Once Mo Wuji opened a path again, the initially destitute Bing Feizhu¡¯s eyes lit up. As much as he thought the giving in to Meng Boyu and letting him go was the best decision, Bing Feizhu hoped that the person he followed was a coward. ¡°Go and die!¡± A infuriated Meng Boyu leapt up and towards Mo Wuji, swinging his fist at Mo Wuji¡¯s head. Almost at the same time, Mo Wuji charged towards Meng Boyu with a glint in his hand, swinging a sharp blade towards Meng Boyu¡¯s hip. When Meng Boyu¡¯s fist arrived, Mo Wuji simply tilted his head to one side slightly. He did not plan to give up his slash just to avoid this one hit. Meng Boyu¡¯s fist landed squarely on Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder, and a loud ¡°Crack¡± rung out. Even though he only had less than 30% of his maximum strength after Mo Wuji¡¯s ambush, the great strength behind the fist still shattered one of Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder bones, and the immense spiritual energy caused Mo Wuji to expel a mouthful of blood. The sharp blade of Mo Wuji indeed hit its mark, and drew a long slit across Meng Boyu¡¯s waist. Fresh blood burst out once again¡­ The pain from the broken bones rendered Mo Wuji near paralysed on the ground. However, he was celebrating to himself in his mind, as around 60% of the power from Meng Boyu¡¯s punch had been shifted to his blade through the Nature¡¯s Passage technique. Even so, the remaining energy from the punch had shattered his bones, and the blade with Meng Boyu¡¯s energy added on still merely made a cut. This did not go according his plan: to spill Meng Boyu¡¯s intestines out. From this exchange, it was apparent that Meng Boyu was much stronger than him. Thus his method of exchanging blow for blow was the correct way to go. Meng Boyu stumbled a few steps backwards, the anger in his eyes disappearing and replaced by pure fear. He could smell death at his doorstep. If Mo Wuji¡¯s initial punch was considered to have caused him to be severely injured, but he was still a ways off from death. But if he did not get any treatment after taking this slash, he would have one foot in the grave. He simply could not comprehend where the power in Mo Wuji¡¯s single slash came from. It was well beyond anything he had expected. Based on his calculations, the punch of his could have drove Mo Wuji to the ground, and the single slash would have at most broke his skin. However, things turned out completely differently. His punch did not really injure Mo Wuji significantly, instead, it was Mo Wuji¡¯s blade that gave him a taste of death. ¡°You¡¯re a monster.¡± Meng Boyu left these final words before frantically trying to escape. He knew that if he carried on to fight with Mo Wuji, this would surely be his final resting place. Other than not knowing how Mo Wuji could be so strong, he was clueless about why Mo Wuji would be so daring to come after his life here. Since Mo Wuji had steeled his heart to kill Meng Boyu, would he simply let this fella run away like that? Once this guy escaped, he would be dead meat. As Meng Boyu turned around, the blade in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand flew forward. This time, Meng Boyu had learnt from his experience of Mo Wuji¡¯s sneak attack and he was on guard, immediately leaning to one side while the blade approached him. Mo Wuji did not expect this one blade to kill Meng Boyu, and leapt out together with the blade, throwing another fist at his adversary. The blade flew to the left, while he pounced to the right. To avoid the sharp knife, Meng Boyu shifted himself to the right without hesitation, right smack into the punch delivered by Mo Wuji. Normally, even up to 10 punches, each two times faster than Mo Wuji¡¯s, would have little to no effect on Meng Boyu. So what more could one punch from Mo Wuji do? Unfortunately, Meng Boyu was already critically injured by then, and the wounds remained wide open and exposed. The way to avoid Mo Wuji¡¯s murder attempt was quite clear, but somehow he still could not dodge in time. ¡°Bang!¡± The punch from Mo Wuji landed on the back of Meng Boyu just as before, and Meng Boyu spit out a stream of blood, before falling forward to the ground for good. ¡°Mo Wuji, if you kill me, you¡¯ll definitely be thrown off the Hanging Sword Cliff¡­¡± Meng Boyu breathlessly pointed out. At this moment only regret filled his mind. He should never have step foot in this madman¡¯s territory. Chapter 107: Treasured Blood Lotus Chapter 107: Treasured Blood Lotus Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Meng Boyu did not know that Yan''Er was Mo Wuji''s achilles heel. Otherwise, he would definitely have used Yan''Er to threaten Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji acted as though he did not hear Meng Boyu''s words as he walked to the side, picked up the sharp knife and turned to the trembling Wu Kai, "Deacon Wu, this fella here is a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner. Now that he dies here, what do you think should be done?" Wu Kai gritted his trembling teeth and said, "Pill Master Meng can still be saved, saved..." Compared to Mo Wuji, Wu Kai was more aware of the consequences of Meng Boyu dying here today. Let''s not talk about the sect head; Mo Boyu''s backer, the Second Elder, would directly thunder over and tear Mo Wuji to bits. On the other hand, he was the one who selfishly gave Mo Wuji the Blood Lotus Lake which triggered this event, and he was also the one who brought Meng Boyu over, it''s difficult for him to avoid death. He really did not understand why Mo Wuji was bent on killing Meng Boyu. After all, the Second Elder behind Meng Boyu was Qin Chen''s master. And wasn''t Qin Chen''s sister, Qin Xiangyu, on very good terms with Mo Wuji? Mo Wuji calmly said, "Actually, he could have been saved. But because he was causing a ruckus on Deacon Wu''s territory, he induced Deacon Wu''s rage and he was directly executed." Since Mo Wuji put it in such a manner, how could Wu Kai not understand what he was meaning? Even though Wu Kai was very fierce, he was only like that towards the service disciples. Meng Boyu was a Tier 2 Pill Refiner; even if his guts were multiplied by 10 thousand times, he also would not have dared to act ah... Now, Mo Wuji wanted him to prove his allegiance. If he did not act, he might very well be the second person to die here today. If he killed Meng Boyu, he might get killed by the sect in the future. But if he didn''t kill Meng Boyu, he would definitely be killed by Mo Wuji there and then. "Wu Kai, get someone to help... I, Meng Boyu, guarantee your life..." Meng Boyu did not manage to finish speaking before Mo Wuji used his foot to press against Meng Boyu''s head. Thereafteer, he spoke to Wu Kai in an icy, cold tone, "Since Deacon Wu is unwilling to act, I can only do it myself." "No, I''m willing, I''m willing..." Wu Kai did not dare to hesitate, directly drawing the curved knife by his waist, pouncing forward and decapitating Meng Boyu''s head off with a single slash. After Mo Wuji''s attacks, Meng Boyu had long lost his mobility. Wu Kai''s slash easily took away his little life. "Deacon Wu is wise and decisive; your future will definitely be limitless," Mo Wuji chuckled towards Wu Kai as he picked up the Treasured Blood Lotus. Wu Kai mumbled, with a tear-filled face, "Pill Master Mo, how about we consider our actions now. Once this thing is leaked, we definitely wouldn''t be able to bear the consequences ah..." Mo Wuji walked over and patted Wu Kai''s shoulders, "Don''t worry. You''re responsible of destroying the body of this Meng fella. After some time, this Meng fella will leave the sect. When he leaves the sect, many people will know. However, as to when he comes back, then that will be unclear." "Pill Master Mo, you''re saying..." Wu Kai suddenly understood Mo Wuji''s words; a huge sense of joy emerged in his heart, this was the joy derived when one escapes death. Mo Wuji chuckled and he walked over to Meng Boyu''s body to pick up his identity token. It was only then did he say to Fei Bingzhu, "Bingzhu, you''re okay, right?" Fei Bingzhu was still a little dazed. His injury had yet to heal, but seeing Mo Wuji personally kill Meng Boyu to take revenge for him, his injury did not mean much anymore, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, I''m fine." "If you''re fine then let''s go. We''ll leave Deacon Wu to settle things here. I believe that Deacon Wu will be able to manage this situation cleanly." With that, Mo Wuji smiled towards Wu Kai. Wu kai felt a shiver go down his spine and he immediately patted his chest and said, "Rest assured Pill Master Mo. I will definitely make sure you''ll be satisfied." ... ¡°Bingzhu, I''m really thankful. I really didn''t expect you to find a Treasured Blood Lotus,¡± Mo Wuji said gratefully as they returned to Lotus Sword Summit. When he met a dead end, and was worried about his helplessness, Fei Bingzhu found him the Treasured Blood Lotus. Fei Bingzhu excitedly replied, ¡°Senior apprentice brother, I didn''t just find this one Treasured Blood Lotus. I also found one in the Lotus Sword Summit. I really don''t know how Senior Guan did it; after more than ten years, the lotuses are still so well preserved. Previously, senior apprentice brother was practising your pill refining so I didn''t go and bother you. That''s when I started thinking, perhaps there might also be a lotus at Blood Lotus Lake too? With this hope, I went to take a look, and I really found another Treasured Blood Lotus! With these two lotuses, I should be able to cultivate new Treasured Blood Lotuses.¡± As Mo Wuji heard Fei Bingzhu''s words, he was incomparably surprised. Before he could even say anything, Fei Bingzhu had already walked back into the house and passed Mo Wuji the other hidden Treasured Blood Lotus. Mo Wuji opened the two wooden boxes and a faint fragrance wafted out. Two ruby-like lotuses lay within the wooden boxes. ¡°Bingzhu, you really helped me out this time around. I¡¯ll take one of the two lotuses, I''ll leave the other for you to cultivate new Treasured Blood Lotuses.¡± Mo Wuji really wanted to take both lotuses away, but he was very clear about the importance of leaving some nodes behind. If not, it would be too late to regret if he couldn''t find any more Treasured Blood Lotuses in the future. Fei Bingzhu shook his head and said, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, you can take both lotuses. I just need the four lotus nodes and I will be able to cultivate new Treasured Blood Lotuses. There''s only one problem, cultivating the Treasured Blood Lotus would require large amounts of spirit stones. The four nodes won''t require as much spiritual energy as when Elder Guan initially grew the Treasured Blood Lotus, but the Treasured Blood Lotuses would still require large amounts of spiritual energy. Without spiritual stones, it would be hard to cultivate them.¡± Hearing Fei Bingzhu say that he could take both Treasured Blood Lotuses, Mo Wuji was indescribably excited. He directly retrieved a cloth bag, passed it to Fei Bingzhu and said, ¡°Bingzhu, you can find Tier 1 and Tier 2 pills in there. Go and exchange them for spirit stones. Also, you can keep the pills which you require. I will be busy with some things now, so I¡¯ll leave the matter of the Treasured Blood Lotuses to you.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Fei Bingzhu looked at the cloth bag in shock. If this was filled with pills, exactly how many pills were in there? There should at least be a hundred, right? It took some time for him to respond, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, you''re going out?¡± Mo Wuji nodded, ¡°Get Tao Ao to help you with the Treasured Blood Lotuses. I will bring Yan''Er and Big Sis Xiong over to Medicine King Summit. Now that I killed Meng Boyu, I will impersonate him and leave the sect.¡± Fei Bingzhu completely understood the situation and he was thankful for Mo Wuji''s trust in him; he patted his chest and said, ¡°Rest assured, senior apprentice brother Mo. I will definitely help you grow some solid Treasured Blood Lotuses.¡± ¡°I believe you,¡± Mo Wuji said. Ever since he first purchased the Water Velvet Vine from Fei Bingzhu, he could tell that Fei Bingzhu''s character was not bad, that was also why he befriended Fei Bingzhu. Fei Bingzhu might have his own personal aims and goals, but who doesn''t have them? Mo Wuji was also the same. Now, evidence had shown that he did not judge Fei Bingzhu wrongly. ¡­ On that very evening, a long-haired Meng Boyu left the Formless Blade Sect. He seemed to have been angered by something; on his way out of the sect, a service disciple was slow to greet him, and he immediately wrecked the service disciple. As the service disciple was being scolded, that Pill Master Shi just walked out of the sect''s gates in a fury. After Meng Boyu left the Formless Blade Sect, he vanished without a trace. A day later, Mo Wuji had regained his original appearance and had arrived at Fringe City¡¯s North Water Inn. The first thing he did at the inn was to concoct the new channel opening solution. All the original ingredients of the channel opening solution had been changed for spiritual herbs. This included the Hundred Year Old Longyan Grass, some Fire Essence Stones and even Dark Yellow Ginseng and Lingzhi which were over 1000 years old. Among the spiritual herbs, some of them were as high as Tier 3 spiritual herbs. He was primarily able to obtain these peculiar spiritual herbs because of his status as a Tier 2 Pill Refiner. If he wasn''t a Tier 2 Pill Refiner, even if he spent all his sect contribution points, he wouldn''t be able to afford these herbs. Among all these herbs, the ones he treasured the most are the two Treasured Blood Lotuses. He had not extracted the lotus roots from the Treasured Blood Lotuses yet. The roots were like red rubies, with a nice crystal luster. Just looking at them was a form of enjoyment. After preparing all his ingredients, he suddenly remembered that he had never used drug refining equipment to refine spiritual herbs before. What if the refining fails? What then? It would be okay for the other spiritual herbs, but he only had two Treasured Blood Lotuses. It would be devastating if he fails. After all, Fei Bingzhu might not successfully obtain Treasured Blood Lotuses from the lotus nodes. Even if he did, it was not a one or two day thing. Thinking about this, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to pack his drug refining equipment up. He could not take this risk. To concoct this new channel opening solution, he would need to use a pill concocting room. The good thing about Fringe City was that it was mainly for cultivators. As long as you could imagine it, you could find it here. Not only pill concocting rooms, you could even rent any sort of tempering rooms. Renting a pill concocting room required spirit stones. While Mo Wuji did not have spirit stones, he did have Tier 2 spiritual pills. The great thing about concocting pills for the sect was that he had a whole mountain of leftover pills. After leaving a few to Fei Bingzhu, Mo Wuji still had many left on him; these Tier 2 spiritual pills could easily be exchanged for spirit stones in Fringe City. In order to exchange these pills for spirit stones in the shortest time possible, Mo Wuji directly exchanged 90% of his pills at a random pill house. He knew that the prices offered were low, but he did not bother to bargain. In the end, he managed to get a total of 1070 spirit stones. With his capabilities, there would always be opportunities for him to get spirit stones in the future. Right now, what he lacked the most was time. Before the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition commences, he would have to treasure each and every second. ... Nine Moons Pill House. This pill house wasn''t the biggest one in Fringe City, but it''s quality was definitely one of the best. Mo Wuji did not know much about Fringe City. He just passed 90% of all his pills to Nine Moons Pill House, and left immediately after receiving his spirit stones. At this moment, in Nine Moons Pill House, a middle-aged man was closely examining a pill. As he looked, he continuously nodded his head. Chapter 108: Concocting the Channeling Opening Solution Again Chapter 108: Concocting the Channeling Opening Solution Again Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: ¡°Uncle Sun, why are so many porcelain vases of spiritual pills?¡± A plain looking youth in linen robes walked in; his skin was pale white, making him look a little delicate. When he saw the table full of porcelain vases, he asked that question in shock. One must know that Nine Moons Pill House prided itself in its pill quality. Its pills were all stored in jade vases, who would use porcelain vases? The middle-aged man stood up, ¡°Shao Ke, you''re here. These are some pills our store purchased today.¡± The linen robed youth asked astonishedly, ¡°Uncle Sun actually bought pills from someone else? Don''t tell me that it''s from some great pill refiner? But that''s not right¡­¡± The linen robed youth knew that if these were pills concocted by a great pill refiner, they wouldn''t have come in porcelain vases but in jade vases. ¡°I didn''t purchase these pills. Come, Shao Ke, come take a look at these pills.¡± As he spoke, the middle-aged man passed the pill in his hand to the linen robed youth. The linen robed youth smiled and accepted the pill. In reality, no matter how good this pill was, it was nothing more than a Tier 1 Mortal Pill. He first took a whiff at the pill, and his eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. He immediately examined the pill''s colour and quality. After some time, he suddenly popped the pill in his mouth and closed his eyes. After a few seconds, the linen robed youth suddenly opened his eyes and asked in shock, ¡°Uncle Sun, exactly what pill is this? It''s also made for Channel Opening Stage cultivators, but its effects are multiple times higher than Energy Gathering Pills?¡± The middle-aged man shook his head, ¡°I''m also not sure. According to the person who procured them, these are Energy Gathering Pills. You can take a look at the other pills.¡± He did not need to wait for the middle-aged man''s invitation, the linen robed youth had already started to grab the various porcelain vases on the table and opened each and every one of them. ¡°These are all high grade Tier 2 spiritual pills? Poison Cleansing Pill, Jasper Pill¡­¡± After putting down the porcelain vases, a look of shock had already occupied the youth''s face. The middle-aged man nodded, ¡°That''s right. I have already tested these pills. Although they are high grade pills, the retained medicinal properties are not much lower than top grade ones. Furthermore, the quality of the pills could actually be a lot better, but it''s being limited by the refiner''s cultivation level. I guess that this pill refiner must be a peak Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, or even a Tier 3 one.¡± ¡°How many spirit stones were all these pills bought for?¡± The linen robed youth eyes glimmered; it was unknown what he was thinking about. The middle-aged man sighed and lamented, ¡°That man must have been in an urgent need for spirit stones. These pills wasn''t even properly appraised before they were brought here. We got them for a total of 1070 spirit stones ¡° The linen robed youth furrowed his brows and immediately said, ¡°Uncle Sun, that price is far too low. Our Nine Moons Pill House can be established for so long isn''t only because of our higher pill quality, but also our integrity. Even at the usual market price, these pills would already be worth at least 2000 spirit stones. Now, we¡¯re really bullying our patrons by only giving him half the price.¡± The middle-aged man nodded, ¡°I know, but by the time I arrived, the manager had already collected all the pills. I wanted to find the person of interest, but he had ready rushed off somewhere.¡± The linen robed youth flatly said, ¡°Fire that manager then. If he could scam our patrons today, he could scam our store in the future. Our Nine Moons Pill House wasn''t established on this sort of small schemes¡­¡± After pausing for a moment, the linen robed youth continued, ¡°If we can find that pill refiner, find some way to reimburse him. At the same time, I want to have a chat with him. The middle-aged man said, ¡°Shao Ke, you want him to represent our Nine Moons Pill House for the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition?¡± The linen robed youth sighed, ¡°This is just a one-sided wish. If this person could concoct such exceptional pills, I believe that he would have already promised someone else his service.¡± The middle-aged man smiled faintly, ¡°That may not be true. If he was really going to represent someone else, he would not have sold his pills at such a cheap price. I guess that there''s a good 80 to 90% chance that he¡¯s a rogue pill refiner.¡± The linen robed youth''s eyes flashed briefly, but he did not say anything. ... Fringe City Pill-Smith Workshop. This was Fringe City biggest renter for pill concocting rooms and weapon smithies. After Mo Wuji received his spirit stones, the first place he did was to rush to the Fringe City Pill-Smith Workshop and rent a pill concocting room. Thereafter, he prepared his drug refining equipment within the pill concocting room. He didn''t rent the room to concoct pills, but to purify the spiritual herbs. After igniting the fire, and carefully cleaning the pill furnace, Mo Wuji added the new ingredients for the channel opening solution into the pill furnace. Mo Wuji also opened the wooden box containing a Treasured Blood Lotus, and carefully plucked out a ruby-like lotus root and added it to the pill furnace. Compared to typical lotus roots, the Treasured Blood Lotus Roots were tougher and thicker. Actually, Mo Wuji knew that purifying each spiritual herb individually would definitely have better results. However, there were limits to his capabilities, so he could only throw all the ingredients together and purify them using his hand techniques. After a whole three hours, Mo Wuji expelled the medicinal dregs and sent the medicinal essences into a porcelain vase. This furnace of ingredients filled a total of six porcelain vases. After resting for half an hour, Mo Wuji did not continue to purify the spiritual herbs but started to clean his drug refining equipment. To concoct this new channel opening solution, he simply replaced the old medicinal herbs with the superior spiritual herbs. However, he did not actually know whether it would actually work. If it didn''t work, then there wouldn''t be any point in purifying the spiritual herbs. Moreover, these six vases of medicinal essences were enough for him to have six attempts at brewing the channel opening solution. Now, Mo Wuji could even concoct the channel opening solution with his eyes closed; he was already far too familiar with it. Even though the ordinary ingredients have been replaced with spiritual ones, the methods remained the same. Each medicinal ingredient got crushed into pieces with the drug refining equipment, and the juices were all squeezed out. These juices and the medicinal essences mixed together under the drug refining equipment and they slowly reacted. In two hours, a thick, rich channel opening solution was brewed and it flowed into a small jade vase. Clenching the jade vase tightly, Mo Wuji exhaled strongly. He had a little apprehensions in his heart; if this channel opening solution did not work, the difficulty of meeting Granny Linglong would be multiplied several times. Even if he found a new way to cultivate in the future, Yan''Er would already be long gone. After a long pause, Mo Wuji poured the channel opening solution into his mouth. A line of fire extended from his throat. At the next moment, the line of fire became like a thin needle, piercing through Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body. An intense pain pervaded, but Mo Wuji seemed to completely ignore the pain. He agitatedly grabbed the drug refining equipment, his eyes wet and moist. Mo Wuji was so excited, not because of the success of the new channel opening solution, nor because he could scale greater heights, but because he now had a chance to advance to a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Once he became a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, his chances of meeting Granny Linglong would be much higher. As long as he could meet Granny Linglong, Yan''Er would have some hopes of living. It took a whole half an hour before Mo Wuji''s agitation subsided. The success of his new channel opening solution demonstrated that his previous channel opening solution lost its effects due to his body. With the increasing number of open meridians in his body, ordinary ingredients no longer worked on him. He could only continue by utilising spiritual herbs. This also granted Mo Wuji a new path. If this new channel opening solution lost its effects, he wouldn''t have been as helpless as he was previously. ... Three days later, an ash covered Mo Wuji left Fringe City Pill-Smith Workshop. However, only his outer appearance was messy, his heart was not. When he first came, his heart was unsettled, and he moved with hurried steps. Now, however, his steps became more carefree. In these three days, he concocted a total of 49 bottles of channel opening solution. After drinking one, he had 48 bottles left. However, Mo Wuji could tell that the efficacy of this new channel opening solution far surpassed the previous one; this 49 bottles of channel opening solution should help him open 30 meridians at the very least. With more than 60 meridians, he could cultivate to the late levels of the Channel Opening Stage. With that cultivation level, he should no longer face as much difficulty with concocting Tier 3 pills. When he returned to North Water Inn, he did not even bother to clean himself. He also put the drug refining equipment down and immediately departed for the Immortal Training Tower. ¡­ ¡°Give me a jade slip for the Lightning Tempering Room.¡± Mo Wuji was already familiar with the procedure as he passed a hundred pieces of spirit stones into the window. Compared to the cautious expression he had during his first visit, he was far more magnanimous now. If he runs out of spirit stones, he just needed to return to the sect and complete some tasks. Pill refiners were truly enviable jobs, but all this was on the premise that you could even become a pill refiner. After receiving the jade slip, Mo Wuji did not wait and rushed up. He soon reached Lightning Room 1 which was on the ninth floor and inserted the jade slip into the door groove. The stone doors of the Lightning Tempering Room creaked out slowly. ¡°Wait¡­¡± Just as Mo Wuji was about to enter the room, a voice called out to him. Mo Wuji turned to see the incomparably handsome man. This fella was really a thorn in the ass. When he first came to get a jade slip, he met this fella. When he left the tempering room, he saw this fella. Now, when he was entering the tempering room for a second time, he still saw this fella. ¡°What is it?¡± Even though Mo Wuji was in a rush to open his meridians, he still patiently responded. ¡°I am Jade Net Sect''s He Jianting. As I have something on, I would request this friend here to let me use this Lightning Tempering Room first. Of course, I will not ill-treat you. I''m willing to offer you¡­¡± ¡°I also have something on¡­¡± Mo Wuji did not wait for the other party to finish speaking. He just threw out that sentence, turned his back and entered the Lightning Tempering Room. Thereafter, the doors closed shut. He Jianting''s handsome face revealed an ugly expression. He saw Mo Wuji as a person who was stingy even with three spirit stones. If he offered a few spirit stones, Mo Wuji would not hesitate to offer him the Lightning Tempering Room. What he did not expect that that Mo Wuji did not even wait for him to finish and immediately closed the doors. Furthermore, the Jade Net Sect was a Quasi-Heaven Sect. To think that a rogue cultivator in this small city would not give him face, and that was after he reported his sect''s name. Chapter 109: 2nd Visit to the Lightning Tempering Room Chapter 109: 2nd Visit to the Lightning Tempering Room Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Only after entering the Lightning tempering room that Mo Wuji recalled about Bi Luo sect. Back on the boat from Rao Zhou to Chang Luo, wasn¡¯t Shao Feng, the guy who wanted to murder him, from Bi Luo sect too? Looks like everyone from the same sect had their eyes grown on their forehead. Mo Wuji did not put such matters to heart. He had completely forgotten about this He Jianting fella very quickly. After placing the package containing some spirit stones, pills and his clothing by the side, he went on to put some bottles of the Channel Opening Solutions around the epicentre of the lightning strikes. This was such that he could easily reach out for these solutions without leaving the epicentre. Mo Wuji then calmed himself down before walking over to the ¡®Begin Training¡¯ handle to pull it down. A lightning bolt fell and Mo Wuji took the full impact directly without any hesitation. Using the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique found in the , Mo Wuji redirected the lightning bolt that fell on his body into his new meridian. After seven to eight lightning bolts, Mo Wuji could feel the 37th meridian opening up gradually. At the peak of the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique, the sluggish clogging of the meridian disappeared promptly. This made his whole body felt at ease and overwhelmed with delight. Mo Wuji clenched his fist as he confirmed that the 37th meridian was indeed of a much higher quality. After opening only a single meridian, Mo Wuji could feel as those he could break into Channel Opening Stage Level 5 easily. Mo Wuji would naturally not continue cultivating now as he drank yet another bottle of the Channel Opening Solution. Before the fiery line of flame burned open a new meridian, he started using the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique concurrently to redirect the lightning bolts to bombard that same meridian. ¡°Pipi papa¡­ Ka Ka¡­¡± Inside the Lightning tempering room which Mo Wuji was in, all that could be heard was the pipa sound when lightning bolt struck him, the sound of his bone cracking as well as the sound of relief as the solution worked its way in his body. The smell of burnt clothes and charred skin was also very evident. If there was someone here, he would have thought Mo Wuji had to be dead after all these. At the moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s skin was charred black and his whole body was filled with many lightning scars. Even as more meridians were being opened up, Mo Wuji was already reaching his limits of physical exhaustion. Previously, Mo Wuji would find ways to take a short break. However, he had no thoughts of taking a break this time round. This was because he was constantly worried that the moment he stopped to rest, the solution might not work like the previous time again. Even though the probability of this happening was very low, Mo Wuji was not willing to take such a risk. Number 40,41,42... Before he knew how many bottles of solutions he drank, Mo Wuji had already opened up 60 meridians. Previously, Mo Wuji had thoughts of opening up meridians and cultivate simultaneously. However, he only had eyes for opening meridians now. The most important thing to him presently was to open as many as he could as he could cultivate any other time. ¡°Ka!¡± As Mo Wuji¡¯s 61st meridian was being opened, his whole body fell to the ground, paralysed. As he struggled to continue drinking the Channel Opening Solution, there was no more lightning bolts around. 10 hours just passed by like that? Mo Wuji rested in the epicentre of the lightning tempering room for 10 minutes before stumbling to his feet to swallow some pills he retrieved from his bag. He had decided to go down to settle the payment first before coming up again to continue opening his meridians. After getting changed and keeping the Channel Opening Solutions, Mo Wuji opened the door of the stone chamber. The fact that the first person Mo Wuji saw was He Jianting made Mo Wuji frown. This time round, he was alone. He Jianting¡¯s face was a little gloomy when he saw Mo Wuji. As Mo Wuji took his jade slip and made his leave, He Jianting immediately slotted his jade slip into the groove before entering the lightning tempering room swiftly. Mo Wuji did not bother about him at all as he did not have a good impression about this Bi Luo sect. It seemed like there are not many decent people from the Bi Luo sect. ¡­¡­ ¡°You¡¯ve exceeded by two hours, please hand over 22 more spirit stones,¡± After collecting Mo Wuji¡¯s jade slip, a cold voice sounded out from the payment counter in the Immortal Training Tower. 12 hours passed by just like that without me realising at all. Mo Wuji secretly whispered to himself. ¡°Help me make up the 100 spirit stones, I will still be using the lightning tempering room later,¡± Mo Wuji said while he handed over the 122 spirit stones. 100 spirit stones would allow him to stay in the lightning tempering for 10 hours. Exceeding two hours will cost him another 22 spirit stones. His guess was that the extra two spirit stones was the price for overstaying. Mo Wuji believed that with the 19 bottles of Channel Opening Solution left, another 10 hours should suffice. The 100 spirit stones were immediately returned through the window, ¡°The lightning tempering room had been booked for the next 10 days. If you are still interested then come back in 10 days.¡± Mo Wuji knew even without asking that it was that He Jianting who booked it. That fella must be really wealthy. I had to work so hard to concoct these pills to exchange for some spirit stones yet he so casually booked the room for 10 days. ¡°Wasn¡¯t there a lightning tempering room 2?¡± Mo Wuji hurried to ask since he guessed there might be a second one if there is a lightning tempering room 1. The man behind the window answered coldly, ¡°Lightning tempering room 2 cost 200 spirit stones for two hours. You are sure to die inside if you¡¯ve not reached the Spirit Building Stage. Are you sure you want to book it?¡± ¡°No thank you,¡± Mo Wuji hurried to keep his spirit stones. What a joke, how can I possibly afford to pay 200 spirit stones for just two hours? More importantly, he was only in Channel Opening Stage Level 4 and hence, was definitely not suited to enter the second room. Mo Wuji secretly regretted as he should have booked the lightning tempering room for 20 hours straight from the start. Now that the lightning tempering room had been booked for 10 days, he cannot possibly wait here for 10 days. Mo Wuji thought that it would be better to go back to study harder to improve his own ability before doing anything else. ¡­¡­ Mo Wuji left the sect on the high and now he had to return on a low profile. However low profile he tried to be, he was still a pill refiner therefore it was nearly impossible for people not to notice him. As he returned to the Lotus Sword Summit, he heaved a sigh of relief as he saw Tao Ao busy with Fei Bingzhu by the lake. ¡°Young master has returned,¡± Tao Ao hurried to put everything on his hands down so he could greet Mo Wuji. Afterall, he owed his and his wife¡¯s lives to Mo Wuji. If not for Mo Wuji, Tao Ao¡¯s skeleton would have already been shattered and he would not be standing here anymore. ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo,¡± Fei Bingzhu said with excitement. Mo Wuji was feeling delighted as he laughed and said, ¡°It¡¯s good to see both of you doing well. I am relieved. Bingzhu, come in with me.¡± Tao Ao knew Mo Wuji needed a word with Fei Bingzhu hence he greeted Mo Wuji and then left to do his work. ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, there are no news spreading about it as Wu Kai covered the incident very well. Looks like this was not the first time he did such things,¡± Fei Bingzhu said enthusiastically. Mo Wuji knew a little about Wu Kai. He knew that he was not a very clean person as so many service disciples who offended him have all been gotten rid of. Mo Wuji agreed with Fei Bingzhu¡¯s words wholeheartedly. ¡°That¡¯s good. Anything else?¡± Even though he knew nothing leaked out, hearing Fei Bingzhu say it personally made his heart a lot lighter. It was important to know that the person he murdered was the sect¡¯s Tier 2 Pill Refiner. Once this has been leaked out, not even Yan Qianyin could help to save Mo Wuji¡¯s life. ¡°Miss Yan¡¯Er is doing very well at the Medicine King Summit. Sister Xiong always bring her back to visit as Pill master Yan is not back from the conference yet. The Treasured Blood Lotus that I¡¯m growing are doing well too. I kept some of these pills that you gave and I exchanged the rest for a total of two thousand six hundred spirit stones¡­¡± Fei Bingzhu stood up in the middle of his sentence. Mo Wuji knew that Fei Bingzhu was about to go retrieve the spirit stones thus he reached out his hand to stop him, ¡°Bingzhu, keep these spirit stones with you. You will probably need these while you nurture these Treasured Blood Lotus.¡± Fei Bingzhu nodded his head as he felt it was necessary for the nurturing of the Treasured Blood Lotus. ¡°I¡¯ve collected two lotus nodes from the Treasured Blood Lotus. I will leave the other two as it is,¡± Fei Bingzhu said. Mo Wuji looked curiously at Fei Bingzhu,¡±Why did you not take the other two too ?¡± As the Treasured Blood Lotus can be grown again, Mo Wuji did not know why Fei Bingzhu did not take all four of the nodes at once. Fei Bingzhu gave a dignified look before replying, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, it looks like there are still some characteristics of the Treasured Blood Lotus which you don¡¯t know about. Treasured Blood Lotus is something that absorbs extremely a lot of spiritual energy. The two thousand six hundred spirit stones might not be enough to nurture two of the lotus nodes. If we want to nurture all four nodes without amassing enough spirit stones, it is bound to fail.¡± ¡°What? Two thousand six hundred spirit stones are still not enough to nurture two lotus nodes?¡± Mo Wuji looked shockingly at Fei Bingzhu. He knew that the Treasured Blood Lotus would require a lot of spiritual energy but he never expected it to be this much. Two thousand six hundred spirit stones can be used to purchase so many spiritual herbs. I could even purchase a few Tier 3 spiritual herbs with this amount of spirit stones but how is it not possible to even nurture two lotus nodes? Mo Wuji found this very unbelievable. Fei Bingzhu nodded his head, ¡°It is indeed the truth. I am already very conservative with my numbers. If we were to listen to my grandfather, then two thousand six hundred spirit stones will only be enough to nurture one lotus node. We would have to add in some more spirit stones while growing it too.¡± Mo Wuji calmed himself down as he believed Fei Bingzhu would never lie to him. If two thousand six hundred spirit stones were not enough for two lotus nodes then the only possible reasoning was that he underestimated the price of the Treasured Blood Lotus. If the Treasured Blood Lotus needed so much spiritual energy, how can it be only a Tier 3 spiritual herb? ¡°So is the Treasured Blood Lotus really a Tier 3 spiritual herb?¡± Mo Wuji could not help but ask at the thought of this. Fei Bingzhu replied, ¡°The Treasured Blood Lotus is indeed only a Tier 3 spiritual herb. The reason why it is so valuable is because it is medicinally useful, helpful for spiritual channels as well as it being a delicious and nutritious delicacy. These were the reasons why it was so loved by the immortal masters of the big sects. If not for the incredibly high usage of spiritual energy as well as it being difficult to get the spiritual energy back from he Treasured Blood Lotus, the sect would never have stopped cultivating it. As for the Lotus Sword Summit, its spiritual energy in its atmosphere is therefore much lower than any other summit. There is hence no need to further explain about the spiritual energy around the Blood Lotus Lake.¡± Mo Wuji patted Fei Bingzhu and said, ¡°Now I know, please continue working hard to help me nurture this Treasured Blood Lotus. I will start cultivating for a while. I will think of other ways if you ran out of spirit stones when I come out. Also, please do not leak the fact that you¡¯re nurturing the Treasured Blood Lotus for me.¡± If the Treasured Blood Lotus was really that valuable, then this must never be spread out to the public. Chapter 110: Cultivation Soaring Madly Chapter 110: Cultivation Soaring Madly Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji did not immediately look for Yan''Er, she would be safer at Medicine King Summit. Furthermore, she had Xiong Xiuzhu there to take care of her. When he returned to his room, Mo Wuji immediately closed his doors and started cultivating. With 61 open meridians, his standard could be considered above average among cultivators. Even if he wasn''t able to open more meridians in the future, he would still be able to advance into the Spirit Building Stage, or even the Transcending Mortality Stage. To increase his cultivation speed, Mo Wuji used his spirit stones without restraint. Once he started cultivating, Mo Wuji immediately felt like he had become a huge whirlpool, drawing boundless amount of spiritual energy which then flowed within his meridians. In a short span of time, a spirit stone was sucked dry. At this point, Mo Wuji was no longer frugal with his spirit stones. When a spirit stone was sucked dry, he would change to another one and continue cultivating madly. Under the gushing of the spiritual energy, his open meridians constantly widened, and Mo Wuji''s powers soared continuously. Whenever he got hungry, he would just eat an Inedia Pill and continued cultivating nonstop. In ten days, all the joints in Mo Wuji''s body cracked with a ''Bi Li, Pa La¡¯ sound, and a strong breath of air emerged from his dantian and seeped into his meridians. Finally Channel Opening Stage Level 5. Mo Wuji''s eyes were filled with glee as he swallowed some Inedia Pills and continued to absorb spiritual energy using his circulation technique. Channel Opening Stage Level 5 wasn''t his target; to become a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, he would need to at least be at Channel Opening Stage Level 6. Time passed slowly; under the management of Tao Ao and Fei Bingzhu, life in Lotus Sword Summit flourished. The matter of Mo Wuji''s closed door cultivation was only known by Fei Bingzhu and Tao Ao. Another month passed. Mo Wuji suddenly stood up; due to the force from Mo Wuji standing up, the remnants of the used spirit stones were scattered all over the floor. He had already advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 6. During this period, he did not eat and solely depended on the Inedia Pill. However, his body emanated the energy of a tiger and a strong glowing spirit. Seeing that he still had a little more than 200 spirit stones, Mo Wuji did some light body stretches before sitting down and continuing his circulation technique. ¡­ Lotus Sword Summit. The already settled down Fei Bingzhu was sitting by the lake, observing the Treasured Blood Lotuses. At this moment, Wu Kai was running in hastily. Seeing Wu Kai come without prior information, Fei Bingzhu had a foreboding premonition in his heart and he immediately went forward to greet Wu Kai, ¡°Deacon Wu, long time no see. What brings you here today?¡± Wu Kai immediately cut to the chase and said, ¡°Brother Fei, Pill Master Mo isn''t here?¡± Fei Bingzhu hurriedly replied, ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo is currently in closed doors cultivation. Is something the matter? If it''s something typical, you can simply tell me.¡± In reality, all matters on Lotus Sword Summit were handled by Fei Bingzhu, even Mo Wuji''s monthly salary was managed by him. Mo Wuji had already been behind closed doors for close to three months. Before he went in, he specifically instructed that he was not to be disturbed until he comes out. So when it was nothing important, Fei Bingzhu and Tao Ao would never go and interrupt Mo Wuji''s training. Wu Kai pulled Fei Bingzhu to the side and anxiously said, ¡°Brother Fei, the sect is investigating Pill Master Meng¡¯s disappearance and has already got clues about me.¡± Fei Bingzhu''s heart went ''Gedong!¡¯; the thing that he was most worried of still happened. For this sort of matters, Fei Bingzhu definitely would not make his own private decisions; he decided to find Mo Wuji. At this moment, Fei Bingzhu and Wu Kai both heard a loud roar. ¡°It''s senior apprentice brother Mo!¡± ¡°Pill Master Mo?¡± Fei Bingzhu and Wu Kai called out at the same time and turned to look. Mo Wuji''s loud roar caused the forceful stirrings of spiritual energy; clearly, he had just made a breakthrough. Wu Kai and Fei Bingzhu rushed outside Mo Wuji''s room, and as expected, after half an incense''s time, the roar stopped and Mo Wuji stepped out. Mo Wuji had just made a breakthrough and his energy surged in an unrestrained manner, emanating a heavy pressure which overwhelmed Fei Bingzhu and Wu Kai. Both their hearts trembled and they subconsciously took a step back. However, Mo Wuji was quick to restrain his energy, and his entire person seemed to turn ordinary, even less eye-catching as he was before. Mo Wuji was satisfied; perhaps being obscurely plain and ordinary was the real essence of the Immortal Mortal Technique. At this moment, Wu Kai did not dare treat Mo Wuji as an equal with trashy qualifications. He had personally seen Mo Wuji''s sword sharp aura, and he was reminded about Mo Wuji killing Meng Boyu those months ago. Now that Mo Wuji''s cultivation had risen, he had become even more terrifying. ¡°Wu Kai greets Pill Master Mo. Congratulations on rising up another level!¡± Wu Kai rushed forward to bow towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had just broke through to Channel Opening Stage Level 7, and his abilities improved by leaps and bounds. The reason why he was unable to keep his energy restrained during his breakthrough was because he had heard Wu Kai¡¯s voice from his room. With his higher cultivation, his hearing had become more acute. If it was someone else, he would have simply ignored it. However, if it was Wu Kai, it would mean that an old incident might have returned to bite him in the back, and he could not afford to be careless. ¡°Congratulations senior apprentice brother Mo,¡± Fei Bingzhu was genuinely happy for Mo Wuji. The stronger Mo Wuji was, the more benefits he would reap. After advancing to Channel Opening Stage Level 7, Mo Wuji felt like it''s a whole different world. It wasn''t simply the stronger circulations of spiritual energy within his body. More importantly, he felt his senses become more acute. Even his spiritual will which he had always been trying to forcefully activate, had become clearer. ¡°Deacon Wu, why have you suddenly come to my Lotus Sword Summit?¡± Mo Wuji nodded to Fei Bingzhu before turning and smiling towards Wu Kai. ¡°Pill Master Mo, the sect is investigating Pill Master Meng''s disappearance, and they just sent people over to question me.¡± Wu Kai hurriedly explained. Mo Wuji''s brows furrowed momentarily and he immediately said, ¡°This is just a mere investigation. You just need to remain firm and claim that you don''t know anything. And as to why you came here today, just say that you''re here to get some pills for cultivation.¡± With that, Mo Wuji took out a porcelain vase and stuffed two Energy Gathering Pills in. ¡°Yes, yes¡­ I know what to say now.¡± Wu Kai hastily accepted the porcelain vase and retreated out of Mo Wuji''s room. He had some regrets in coming to Lotus Sword Summit. He wasn''t a fool; Mo Wuji was clearly dissatisfied that he immediately came to Lotus Sword Summit the moment he got investigated. He did not think about it before, but in retrospect, it was really a stupid act to come to Lotus Sword Summit straight away. Luckily, Mo Wuji was adaptable and gave him two pills, which was a good excuse for his visit. ¡°Senior apprentice brother Mo, what do we do now?¡± As Wu Kai left, Fei Bingzhu immediately asked. Mo Wuji had just advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 7 and his balls got much bigger. Even if Wu Kai didn''t come to Lotus Sword Summit, he would have guessed that Meng Boyu''s incident would eventually come to light. The only thing he didn''t expect was that it would come out so soon. If only it took one more month; one month later, he might have already left the Formless Blade Sect. ¡°There''s no need to worry. Even if they suspect me, it would take some time. And even when they investigate me, it would also take more time. After all, I''m a guest pill refiner for the sect. Even if they have their suspicions, they might not dare to do anything to me. By the time they complete their investigations, I would have already left the Formless Blade Sect,¡± Mo Wuji spoke confidently. Fei Bingzhu did not question Mo Wuji about where he was going to go. Since Mo Wuji could go to the Enforcement Hall to save him, Mo Wuji wouldn''t leave him behind. ¡°How''s the Treasured Blood Lotus?¡± To remove Fei Bingzhu''s worries, Mo Wuji decided to change the topic to the Treasured Blood Lotus. Fei Bingzhu immediately said excitedly, ¡°The Treasured Blood Lotus Nodes have already sprouted and grown close to 15 centimetres. They should be mature within a year.¡± Mo Wuji sighed. He would be leaving the Formless Blade Sect within a month, he definitely couldn''t wait for a whole year. ¡°I can''t wait for that long,¡± Mo Wuji lamented helplessly. If not for the Meng Boyu incident, he could leave Fei Bingzhu behind at Lotus Sword Summit to care for the Treasured Blood Lotuses. However, now with this issue, he did not dare leave Fei Bingzhu here to die. By that time, even if the Treasured Blood Lotuses have yet to mature, he would still dig them all out. After passing the helm over Lotus Sword Summit affairs to Fei Bingzhu, Mo Wuji did not rest but headed towards Pharmacy 19. Now that he¡¯s at Channel Opening Stage Level 7, there''s no longer an excuse as to why he couldn''t advance to Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Chapter 111: The Power of Spiritual Will Chapter 111: The Power of Spiritual Will Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji¡¯s choice was ultimately the Transcending Mortality Pill. The Transcending Mortality Pill was very valuable and the refining difficulty was only considered to be average among all the other Tier 3 spiritual pills. Mo Wuji felt it was the best to use such medicine to study about Tier 3 spiritual pills. After igniting the earth fire as well as cleaning the furnace, Mo Wuji sent the different herbs into the furnace. The first step was to purify the spiritual herbs. He could do this very well even when he was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4. Presently, he was much more comfortable and familiar with this and he finished purifying all the herbs in about half an hour. Only up till now could Mo Wuji truly feel his own improvement. Back then he required so much more effort to purify a Tier 3 spiritual herb as compared to now. Now that he had advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 7, purification of the Tier 3 spiritual herbs were as easy as writing. The process was smooth without any hiccups. Mo Wuji was sure that his purification of the Tier 3 spiritual herbs had now exceeded the 90% purification level. After getting the dregs out of the furnace, Mo Wuji made use of both the hand techniques as well as elementary energy to constantly churn the medicinal essences in the furnace. He had begun fusing the medicinal essences. For many pill refiners, this was the hardest step. The first time Mo Wuji tried to concoct the Transcending Mortality Pill, he failed at the fusion step too. In fact, before he could even start fusing the medicinal essences, the essences had already dispersed. Previously, Mo Wuji was unable to control the spiritual nature of the medicinal essences. However, it was made easier this time round because of his hand techniques. Another half an hour passed by as Mo Wuji¡¯s hand techniques became much smoother. Every movement was matched perfectly with his elementary energy in the furnace. Step by step, Mo Wuji did not face any difficulty. After an hour, there was the scent of pills coming out from the pill furnace. Mo Wuji became even more focused as his hand techniques were constantly at work within the furnace. Very soon, he began collecting the pills. After another 10 minutes, 12 logan-like cream coloured pills were brought out by Mo Wuji and kept in a jade bottle prepared long ago. Mo Wuji took out a pill to sniff and observed it for half a day before heaving a long sigh and putting it back into the bottle. He succeeded in concocting his first batch of Tier 3 Mortal Spirit Pills after advancing to Channel Opening Stage Level 7. This meant that Mo Wuji would be a Tier 3 pill refiner from this moment onwards. In less than half a year, Mo Wuji progressed from a normal drug refiner to a Tier 3 pill refiner. Not even Yan Qianyin¡¯s grandmaster was so impressive right? Furthermore, he had no spiritual roots to begin with. Only he knew how difficult it was to get to where he was. Yan Qianyin¡¯s grandmaster was definitely way ahead of him in terms of cultivation level. Moreover, Mo Wuji was sure he had a mentor to guide him and had no need to source for his own cultivation resource like Mo Wuji. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji was feeling a little proud of himself for being slightly more capable than Yan Qianyin¡¯s grandmaster. However, Mo Wuji threw this thought away very quickly as he took out the spiritual herbs of Spirit Strengthening Pill. Advancing to become a Tier 3 pill refiner might be important but concocting the Spirit Strengthening Pill was just as important. He could be able to possess spiritual will if he was able to get hold of the Spirit Strengthening Pill. With the power of spiritual will, this meant that he could easily put his pill technique to good effect. With the pill technique, who knows if he might even be able to concoct a Earth grade Tier 4 pill? Mo Wuji could close his eyes and still handled the Tier 1 and 2 spiritual herbs well. Even though he could also easily handle the Tier 3 spiritual herbs, he was still very cautious in placing the Icy Soul Grass, Leafless Fog Rattan, Green Frost Fruit, Little Freedom Flower, Round-whisked Wind Fruit as well as the other Tier 3 spiritual herbs neatly at one side. As the earth fire was ignited again, Mo Wuji cleaned the pill furnace thoroughly a few more times. As stalks of spiritual herbs were sent into the furnace, Mo Wuji managed to remove the dregs using the hand techniques combined with the earth fire. To ensure success, Mo Wuji got rid of the dregs a few times. He only started the fusion of the medicinal essences when he had no other way to get rid of anymore dregs. Two hours passed and Mo Wuji was still fusing the medicinal essences. Although both were Tier 3 spiritual pills, the Spirit Strengthening Pill was much tougher to concoct than the Transcending Mortality Pill. Mo Wuji even suspected that this Spirit Strengthening Pill might be a Tier 4 spiritual pill which only an Earth Pill Refiner would be able to concoct. Unfortunately, he was only at Channel Opening Stage Level 7. Even if he managed to concoct the Spirit Transcending Pill, he could forget about concocting this Spirit Strengthening Pill. ¡°Peng!¡± A depressing explosion occurred and then black smoke emerged from Mo Wuji¡¯s furnace. The burnt smell of the medicinal essences spreaded across the room as Mo Wuji was shocked for a moment. Just as he thought this furnace of Spirit Strengthening Pill was about to succeed, it exploded. Calming his nerves, Mo Wuji recalled carefully as to what caused his failure. It seemed like the problem occurred after he was done fusing the medicinal essences, more specifically, before he was about to condense the pill. He felt something was wrong during this step and soon after, this batch had to be scrapped. At this moment, Mo Wuji took out the second set of spiritual herbs meant for the Spirit Strengthening Pill. Mo Wuji started fusing the medicinal essences again soon after he removed the dregs. Mo Wuji did not dare to make a mistake as he cautiously went through all these steps. After a few hours, Mo Wuji started splitting and condensing the pills. The furnace produced the scent of completed pills. Even though it was only the scent of the Spirit Strengthening Pill, Mo Wuji felt much more energetic smelling it as if his whole brain was cleansed thoroughly. As the scent became stronger, Mo Wuji did not dare pause his hand techniques in the furnace. Cautiously, he retrieved 12 freshly concocted crystal clear pills and placed them in the jade bottle. After extinguishing the earth fire, Mo Wuji heaved a long sigh of relief as he finally managed to concoct the Spirit Strengthening Pill. Even though it was not the best batch that he could concoct, it was after all his first batch of Spirit Strengthening Pill. Therefore, he was confident he would definitely able to produce higher quality pills in the future. After pouring the pills out, Mo Wuji stared for a long time before popping one into his mouth. The pill disappeared very quickly after he ate it. Soon after, Mo Wuji could feel a heating sensation lingering at his eyebrows area. Without realising how long it had been, Mo Wuji opened his eyes to realise his cultivation base had increased by a little. More importantly, he could feel that his perception of everything around him had become a lot clearer. Mo Wuji had a faintly discernible feeling as though he could distinctly feel things that were not within his range of vision. Mo Wuji kept his excitement in check as it was not too far away from what he expected. This should be what the spiritual will was about: to be able to feel things which the naked eye could not see or even use this power to change and affect things he could feel. Mo Wuji swallowed yet another Spirit Strengthening Pill as he continued to use his Immortal Mortal Technique to enhance his own spiritual will. Pharmacy 19 used to be a place to refine pills. Presently, it belonged solely to Mo Wuji to cultivate. Just as Mo Wuji was about to put another Spirit Strengthening Pill into his mouth, he realised that he had already finished all 12 of them. Not only that, he had consumed quite a few Inedia Pills too. How long have I been cultivating? Mo Wuji stood up all of a sudden. He threw this thought away in the next moment and he could very clearly sense his own spiritual will. He felt that he could even control some objects with his spiritual will. It was similar to that time when he used his strong willpower to direct the lightning bolt to open his meridian. Currently, he was capable of easily using his spiritual will to direct the lightning bolt to the clogged meridians without using cultivation methods to undergo spiritual energy circulation. What would happen if I were to use spiritual will when refining pills? His pill technique lacked the use of spiritual will. Every time he refined pill, he had to work so hard to control the process through his willpower. Furthermore, when he only used his willpower, the success rate was way too low. The moment he thought of this, he immediately ignited the earth fire to continue refining his Spirit Strengthening Pill. As Mo Wuji sent the third batch of Spirit Strengthening Pill into the furnace, his speed increased. He realised that even without using the spiritual will, after he possessed it, his pill refinement technique became a lot smoother. On top of that, his thought process was much clearer than before. Purifying and fusing the medicinal essences were now a piece of cake. Mo Wuji only used one third of the time he used previously to start separating and then condensing the pills. When he was about to condense the pills, Mo Wuji started executing the pill technique. This was his first time using his spiritual will to execute the the pill technique. Originally, the medicinal essences in the furnace were slowly forming into pills. After the pill technique, the speed at which the pills were being formed increased tremendously. Furthermore, the pills which were shaped were compressed even more. The pill became smaller and the orange colour was even more vibrant. After a stick of incense finished, Mo Wuji decided to use the pill retrieval technique. This time round, there was no need for him to slap the furnace itself as 12 Spirit Strengthening Pills were brought out easily with his technique into the jade bottle. Mo Wuji grabbed the jade bottle excitedly as he knew previously that the success rate for using pill techniques to concoct pills would increase by several folds. Only because using pill techniques required too much energy and the fact that it was usually unsuccessful that he gave up using pill techniques. Now that he managed to use spiritual will, it was indeed easier to use the pill techniques. Not only was it easier, the colour was upgraded to a whole new level. The time taken was also halved from the previous attempt. Moreover, he only started using the pill techniques when he was condensing the pills. If he used it from the very beginning, the speed might have been quicker and the colour might be better too. Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction was not wrong. Mo Wuji used the pill technique for the whole process of concocting the fourth batch of pills. This time, not only did the time taken reduced to half, the colour of the pills concocted improved to yet another level. The only uncomfortable thing was that his head was feeling dizzy. However, Mo Wuji did not mind because he knew it was probably due to overexertion of his spiritual will. After swallowing yet another Spirit Strengthening Pill, Mo Wuji closed his eyes and started meditating. Spirit Strengthening Pill was only capable of increasing the power of spiritual will, not restore the loss of spiritual will. Because of his rest, Mo Wuji restored his spiritual will too. After this heavy consumption, Mo Wuji realised that his spiritual will increased again. With the spiritual will, he could now control the pill techniques. Mo Wuji would never need to worry anymore as he could easily concoct Spirit Strengthening Pill in the shortest duration possible. Chapter 112: Exposed Chapter 112: Exposed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji did not immediately return to Lotus Sword Summit but went to Medicine King Summit to fetch Yan''Er. He did not wish to put all his hopes on Yan Qianyin. Furthermore, now that he was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, he would have other means of participating in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, little sis Yan''Er," Seeing Mo Wuji return with Yan''Er, Fei Bingzhu hurried over to greet them. "Is anything of the matter?" Seeing Fei Bingzhu''s expression, Mo Wuji could tell that there was something on. Furthermore, he had stayed at Pharmacy 19 for quite some time. Fei Bingzhu spoke with a hint of worry, "Yes. Yesterday, the Second Elder sent some people over. He asked for you pay him a visit the moment you returned from the pharmacy. Also, the backer of that Meng fella is exactly the Second Elder." Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Qin Xiangyu''s brother, Qin Chen. Wasn''t his master the Second Elder? He did not expect Meng Boyu''s backer to also be the Second Elder. "Bingzhu, it doesn''t matter whether the Treasured Blood Lotuses are mature or not, just dig them up." Seeing that the matter had already reached the ears of the Second Elder, it would be a little troublesome. Might as well get Fei Bingzhu to dig the Treasured Blood Lotus first before further discussions. He added, "Pack everything up. Get ready to leave at any moment." Since the Second Elder had already investigated the issue to him, if Yan Qianyin had yet to return, then he would just leave. He couldn''t stay here and try his luck. Fei Bingzhu hurriedly said, "Rest assured senior apprentice brother Mo, I have already prepared a jade box. If you store the Treasured Blood Lotus with spirit stones in the jade box, it would be able to last for a few months without rotting. I will immediately pack the other things. Mo Wuji nodded, and was about to speak until he saw the Pill Refiner''s Hall Deacon Yuan Qi walking over hastily. "Deacon Yuan." Before Yuan Qi could speak, Mo Wuji took the initiative to go forward and greet him. Yuan Qi looked at Mo Wuji, without the same warmth as he had the first time they met. He sighed as he said, "Pill Master Mo, the sect head, Pill Master Yan and a few other elders are waiting for you at the Great Hall. Please follow me." Hearing that Yan Qianyin had returned, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart relaxed a little. It seems like Yan Qianyin hadn''t returned to Medicine King Summit, if not they would have met. He believed that Yan Qianyin would help him again, and he only needed her to help him this one time. After this incident, he would no longer have any relations to the Formless Blade Sect. Mo Wuji nodded, and spoke to Fei Bingzhu with a calm expression, "Bingzhu, do what you need to do. I will go out for a while." "Rest assured senior apprentice brother." Fei Bingzhu nodded. He did not know whether Mo Wuji could dodge this matter, but at this point, he could only leave it to fate. ¡­ Mo Wuji followed Deacon Yuan Qi to the Formless Blade Sect''s Great Hall. This was the second time he entered the Great Hall; the first time, he came as Shi Jun''s ingredient boy. Now, Shi Jun was dead, and he had become a guest pill refiner for the sect. As he entered the Great Hall, Mo Wuji saw many elders gathered within. Even though he had never met the Second Elder before, he could recognize the Second Elder with a single glance. The Second Elder had a long beard and was donned in grey robes. His gaze was already extremely sharp. By his side, was a heroic looking young man, who looked similar to Qin Xiangyu. Mo Wuji could easily guess that he should be Qin Chen. Besides the elders, the sect''s pill refiners had also gathered. The sect head, Gu Ran, had a cold expression, and he sat at the peak silently. What made Mo Wuji worried was that Pill Master Ju''s seat had been shifted next to Yan Qianyin. It seems like Pill Master Ju¡¯s status had already become comparable to Yan Qianyin''s. Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "Lotus Sword Summit''s Mo Wuji greets the sect head, as well as the various elders, summit lords and hall masters." No one spoke for a long time. After a while, Yan Qianyin spoke in a gentle tone, "Pill Master Mo, please take a seat." Mo Wuji lamented; it seems like the hall of people had been gathered against him. "Wait, Pill Master Mo, I heard that a service disciple in the spiritual herbs warehouse dispensed the wrong herbs which resulted in Pill Master Ju¡¯s concoction to fail. He was eventually brought away to the Enforcement Hall. But Pill Master Mo ignored the sect''s rules, and forcefully brought away that service disciple?" Without waiting for Mo Wuji to sit down, an aggressive looking man stood up and questioned him. Mo Wuji recognised this person, he was Fire Sword Summit¡¯s Cang Qianxing. He could be considered to have enmity with Mo Wuji. It was as though he did not hear Cang Qianxing''s call for him to stop, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to sit his ass down on a chair. Seeing Mo Wuji sit down, not just Cang Qianxing, Pill Master Ju and a few elders revealed an expression of rage. This Mo fella is too arrogant. Doesn''t he know that he is being questioned? Without waiting for a second person to stand up and point fingers at him, Mo Wuji calmly replied Cang Qianxing, "Summit Lord Cang only heard rumors. Well, I can''t blame Summit Lord Cang for believing these rumors. Summit Lord Cang doesn''t understand alchemy, so it''s natural that you don''t know the full details. I believe that as long as you know even a little about alchemy, you would know that something was wrong. Pill Master Ju is a peerless pill refiner. Even if his ingredient boy took the wrong herbs, you think Pill Master Ju wouldn''t discover it? And even use the wrong herbs to concoct pills? Summit Lord Cang, it''s fine since you don''t know, but you cannot suspect Pill Master Ju¡¯s standards. I believe that none of the pill refiners here would make such a novice mistake. I went to the Enforcement Hall, and after clarifying the full story from the person there, I immediately knew that the service disciple had been framed. That''s why I took him away. As to Summit Lord Cang''s words of me forcefully taking him away, I guess that¡¯s just you coming up with a story to entertain yourself." Naturally, Mo Wuji wouldn''t stand because someone disallowed him. At this moment, once he loses his standing, he would be endlessly trampled. Furthermore, he wasn''t saying blind words. If a pill refiner couldn''t recognize the herbs he threw in the pill furnace, he should just kill himself. This time, no one else in the hall stood up to talk, not even Pill Master Ju. After all, what Mo Wuji said made sense. If a pill refiner really made a mistake with the herbs he was using, he really shouldn''t be concocting pills. It seems like this was really a matter of someone framing that service disciple. The Second Elder suddenly asked, "Pill Master Mo, have you recently seen Pill Master Meng?" Mo Wuji hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists towards the Second Elder and asked in a confused manner, "Elder Xu, I don''t really interact with others in the sect. May I know who is this Pill Master Meng?" Before killing Meng Boyu, he did not even meet Meng Boyu. The sect would definitely be able to investigate that. There would be a problem if Mo Wuji actually replied that he didn''t see Meng Boyu. Clearly, this Second Elder was quite devious with his words. A man with pale, white skin and squinted eyes opened his mouth and said, "Pill Master Mo, according to my Enforcement Hall''s investigation, Pill Master Meng left the sect once a few months ago. Thereafter, he never returned. Instead, it was Pill Master Mo who returned. According to my investigation, there have not been any records of Pill Master Mo leaving the sect." Mo Wuji''s heart sank. This was the only loophole, but he couldn''t help it. He did not have any means of soundlessly and silently returning to the sect. "Recently, I left the sect twice consecutively. As to why there weren''t any records, I believe the person Hall Master Sha should be questioning isn''t me, but the recording disciple." Mo Wuji was bent on saying that he had left the sect openly; he definitely couldn''t confess. Even if the other party was sure that he was the one who killed Meng Boyu, he also wouldn''t confess. He just needed to leave the sect, then he wins. "I suspect that the Pill Master Meng who left the sect those months ago wasn''t actually him, but¡­" "Hall Master Sha, if you don''t have any evidence, you cannot casually suspect him. I understand Pill Master Mo, he''s not a person who likes to find trouble." Yan Qianyin suddenly voiced out and interrupted Hall Master Sha''s words. Even though Hall Master Sha was the Enforcement Hall Master, he did not dare to make light of Yan Qianyin''s words and forcefully swallowed the rest of his words. Even though everyone knew what he was going to say, he would not continue to say it. Mo Wuji was really grateful. Even if everyone suspected him, as long as this incident wasn''t brought to light, he would still have some manoeuvring space. Once things were brought to the open, things would get tricky. The Second Elder''s icy cold gaze swept across Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji could clearly feel a sharp killing intent. He was sure that even though the Second Elder didn''t say anything, the Second Elder definitely would not let Mo Wuji off. It was just that Yan Qianyin was currently protecting him. The moment he left this Great Hall, his little life could easily be reaped by this Second Elder. This feeling where he had no control over his own life vexed Mo Wuji. He had already felt this as a mortal in Rao Zhou, now he''s experiencing it here again as a cultivator. Gu Ran broke the silence and pressure within the Great Hall, "Let''s leave the matter of Pill Master Shi aside for now. Hall Master Sha can continue to investigate. After all, a Tier 2 pill refiner disappearing without a trace is no small matter. At the same time, Pill Master Mo is also our sect''s Tier 2 pill refiner. If there isn''t evidence, Hall Master Sha should not disturb him." "Yes," Hall Master Sha hurriedly replied. He knew that this resolution wasn''t due to Mo Wuji''s position as a Tier 2 pill refiner, but due to Yan Qianyin''s words. In the sect head''s eyes, she was the number one person in the sect after him. Seeing that there wasn''t any dissent from the Enforcement Hall Master, Gu Ran nodded and continued, "Next, let''s discuss on the matter of the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. The competition is commencing soon and we will immediately leave after this meeting. Due to the incident at Formless Blade Mountain, the only pill refiners we will be sending are Pill Masters Yan and Ju¡­" Yan Qianyin once again spoke out, "Sect head, Pill Master Mo has a unique understanding towards ingredients, perhaps not beneath mine. I hope that we could bring him along to help, there might be some unexpected benefits." "Impossible!" Before the sect head could even speak, the Second Elder stood up and said, "Pill Master Mo is still embroiled in Pill Master Meng''s case. Even though we still don''t have evidence, we still should not let him represent the sect in the pill competition." Mo Wuji''s heart sank. If Yan Qianyin leaves, staying behind in the sect would simply be waiting for death. Now, the Second Elder wasn''t even giving Yan Qianyin face, and was bent on killing him. As he thought of this, he no longer cared about anything else as he stood up and said, "Elder Xu, I don''t mind that you suspect me over Pill Master Meng''s disappearance. After all, this is just mere suspicions. But if you confine me within the sect because of your suspicions, then that''s far too tyrannical." Chapter 113: Nine Moons Pill House Chapter 113: Nine Moons Pill House Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Yan Qianyin also stood up; she also understood Mo Wuji''s predicament. Once she leaves Formless Blade Sect, Mo Wuji was definitely going to die. And she also knew that she would be leaving the sect very soon. "Elder Xu, the sect head is right; without evidence, Pill Master Mo will have his freedom," Yan Qianyin spoke with a heavier tone. The Second Elder did not even restrain the killing intent in his eyes as he simply said, "I''m not depriving Pill Master Mo of his freedom. But it''s against the principles to let him represent the sect to Five Elements Desolate Domain. As long as Pill Master Mo doesn''t go to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, I will not obstruct him from going anywhere else. After all, the competition represents our sect''s prestige and dignity, we definitely cannot let someone with an unclean background to go." Yan Qianyin''s expression changed. This Second Elder is bent on killing Mo Wuji ah. Even though the Second Elder claimed that Pill Master Mo could go anywhere else he wanted, in reality, if she couldn''t bring him to Five Elements Desolate Domain, the only place he would be going is his grave. As Yan Qianyin was about to say something, Sect Head Gu Ran spoke out, "We''ll do as what the Second Elder says. Pill Master Mo will temporarily stay in the sect. Pill Master Mo, please return first." "Yes, sect head." Mo Wuji could only clasped his fists and retreat out of the hall. He was really helpless. Even though the sect head might have had a little appreciation towards him, between the Second Elder and him, the sect head would not hesitate to choose the Second Elder. Yan Qianyin''s apologetic gaze landed on Mo Wuji. After all, she promised to bring him to the Five Elements Desolate Domain. But now that that the sect head had expressed his intentions, there would be something wrong if she was overly vehement in bringing Mo Wuji. Not only couldn''t she bring Mo Wuji away, she was leaving him in a dangerous situation. Furthermore, she couldn''t forcefully do anything. After all, the Second Elder''s status was not much lower than hers and his cultivation was above hers. She could only wait for this meeting to end before heading off to the Lotus Sword Summit and helping Mo Wuji think of a plan. ¡­ "Senior apprentice brother Mo, it''s good that you returned safely. I have already packed everything nicely." Seeing Mo Wuji return, Fei Bingzhu heaved a sigh of relief. Mo Wuji waved it away, "Bingzhu, now that the things are packed, we''ll leave right now." As Fei Bingzhu saw the expression on Mo Wuji''s face, he knew that things weren''t that simple. He did not say another word as he and Tao Ao hurried to each carry a simple backpack. Mo Wuji brought Yan''Er, the Tao Ao couple and Fei Bingzhu, this group of five left Lotus Sword Summit out of the Formless Blade Sect. Yan Qianyin was not able to help him, besides leaving the sect, he had no other choice. Luckily, he wasn¡¯t confined within the Formless Blade Sect, or else he would really be dead. "How many spirit stones do we have left?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. "We still have a total of 1600 spirit stones," Fei Bingzhu quickly said. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, are we in danger now?" Mo Wuji nodded, "Meng Boyu''s backer is the Second Elder, Xu Feibo. I don''t know what exactly is their relationship but that old thing wants me dead. Senior apprentice sister Yan already tried to smooth things over, but if we don''t leave the Formless Blade Sect now, then we will never be able to." "Then where are we going?" Fei Bingzhu hurriedly said. "Fringe City," Mo Wuji said without hesitation. He heard that there were some ways to get to Five Elements Desolate Domain from Fringe City. Even though he did not have enough spirit stones to pay for five people''s passage to Five Elements Desolate Domain, he did have his Spirit Strengthening Pill. Now when he was at dire''s end, he could only take that pill out. Now, the Second Elder was still at the meeting. He needed to make use of this opportunity to reach Fringe City, or he might just get eliminated on his way. From Formless Blade Sect to Fringe City, he would take two to four hours with a flying beast carriage. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not be unwilling to spend his spirit stones. Now, he directly rented a flying beast carriage and left Formless Blade Sect for Fringe City. The Second Elder would not have thought of this; he could never have imagined that Mo Wuji would be so decisive to immediately leave the Formless Blade Sect. Even if he did think of it, he would not have mind. Even if Mo Wuji reaches Fringe City, the result would still be the same. He would still be able to chase Mo Wuji and eliminate him. A service disciple who simply depended on someone else actually dared touch his man? That''s simply looking for death. ¡­ Fringe City''s North Water Inn. The moment Mo Wuji entered, the attendant immediately recognised him and rushed to greet him with a face full of smiles, "Friend, I was anxiously awaiting your arrival." Mo Wuji looked at the attendant doubtfully. I¡¯ve only come here twice, I''m not some VIP, why is this attendant waiting for me? The reason why Mo Wuji came was simply because he was familiar with this place, and he wanted to inquire about the nearest transfer array. "Have you been looking for me?" Mo Wuji asked. The attendant hurriedly replied, "I¡¯m not the one looking for you, it¡¯s Nine Moons Pill House¡¯s Young House Master who¡¯s looking for you¡­" Nine Moons Pill House? Mo Wuji slowly contemplated before he finally remembered. Wasn''t this pill house the pill house he sold pills to those months ago? That shopkeeper was rather stingy, if not for his urgent need for spirit stones, he would not have sold those pills to Nine Moons. "Friend, please wait. I will immediately help you call the Young House Master..." "Haha, what a coincidence..." A mild laughter could be heard. It belonged to a handsome, fair young man. He was dressed in linen robes, and looked very simple. "Young House Master," Seeing the young man walk over, the attendant rushed to greet him before moving off to the side. He was about to inform this Young House Master about the arrival of Mo Wuji, but since the house master had come personally, he naturally didn''t need to inform the house master. "Let me introduce myself, I am Nine House Pill House''s Zhen Shaoke," The handsome man warmly clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. On the other hand, Mo Wuji did not think that this was a coincidence at all. From the attendant''s words, and the sudden appearance of this Young House Master, he could tell that this Young House Master must have frequently visited North Water Inn to inquire about him. "I''m Mo Wuji, a rogue cultivator. May I know what Young House Master is looking for me for?" Mo Wuji replied with his fists clasped. His only interaction with Nine Moons Pill House was that he sold them some pills, and there definitely wasn''t anything wrong with those pills. Furthermore, he was the one at the losing end of the sale, so he wasn''t worried about Zhen Shaoke causing trouble for him. Zhen Shaoke said apologetically, "Actually, I have frequently come here to wait for Brother Mo, mainly because of the pills that Brother Mo sold to my Nine Moons Pill House. During that time, my treasurer and I both weren¡¯t in the shop; the person who you dealt with was one of our stewards. He used a low price to purchase Brother Mo¡¯s amazing pills, which left me apologetic and unsettled. Now that I¡¯ve met Brother Mo, I would like to reimburse you." So that¡¯s the case. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He did not expect for Zhen Shaoke to abide to these business principles. Previously, Fei Bingzhu could also have taken advantage of him, but did not do so as he was not a businessman. For a businessman to also be like that, was really a commendable thing. If Nine Moons Pill House had always been staunched in these principles, then it definitely wasn''t a small force. However, Mo Wuji believed that Zhen Shaoke definitely had another reason besides his pills. He did not dare boast but the pills he concocted definitely wouldn''t be inferior to others of the same tier. "Then I will have to thank the Young House Master," Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists to express his gratitude. He could not act magnanimous and forgo these spirit stones. Now, he was going to leave Fringe City, and was the time when he needed spirit stones the most. Zhen Shaoke waved his hand and said, "Brother Mo can just call Shaoke, calling me Young House Master is acting far too distant. Brother Mo, this is not a good place to take, what do you think about coming to my Nine Moons Pill House?" We''re not that close right? While he thought of that in his head, Mo Wuji did not object as he said, "Since that''s case, I would have to request the Young House Master to lead the way." Zhen Shaoke came in a beast carriage, which was very spacious. With Mo Wuji''s group of five, the total of six people sat within the carriage compartment, and it still wasn''t squeezy. The beast carriage moved very fast, and along the way, Zhen Shaoke did not talk about the pills. Instead, he introduced Fringe City''s important figures and beautiful sceneries. When he spoke, he addressed all five of them, making them feel welcomed. In half an incense¡¯s time, the beast carriage stopped outside Nine Moons Pill House. Zhen Shaoke got people to receive Yan''Er and Co., while he brought Mo Wuji into a conference room. "Brother Mo, if I''m not wrong, you should be a pill refiner, right? Did you concoct the pills you sold previously?" After entering the conference room, Zhen Shaoke did not beat around the bush, but got straight to the point. Mo Wuji also did not intend to hide anything; his status as a pill refiner was the only bargaining chip he had. "Mr Zhen did not guess wrong. I am in fact a pill refiner." Since Zhen Shaoke wanted to make use of his status as a pill refiner, Mo Wuji directly called him Mr Zhen. He was not familiar with Zhen Shaoke, so it was too awkward to call him Shaoke. Calling him Mr Zhen could help pull their relationship closer, and not make it too awkward. Hearing that Mo Wuji was truly a pill refiner, Zhen Shaoke immediately got enlivened and did not mind Mo Wuji''s address, but asked, "Brother Mo is a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner, or?" Mo Wuji calmly said, "I''m a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner." Zhen Shaoke clapped and said with a face full of smiles, "I was right, Pill Master Mo is really a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. May I know whether Pill Master Mo has ever heard of my Nine Moons Pill House?" Mo Wuji said apologetically, "I have always been researching pill theories behind doors, so I''m not very familiar with other sects. I hope that you can forgive me." "It''s okay, it''s okay." Zhen Shaoke waved it off and continued to say with a smile, "Let me introduce Nine Moons Pill House. My Nine Moons Pill House can be considered an Earth level power, with some clout within the five empires. Even though we are not as powerful as Quasi-Heaven sects like Heavenly Temple, our position is still a little higher than average Earth sects." Now that he was trying to win Mo Wuji over, Zhen Shaoke did not try to be modest. Mo Wuji did not make a sound, but waited for Zhen Shaoke to finish speaking before he asked, "Then Mr Zhen brought me over, isn''t just to reimburse me, right?" Chapter 114: A Ray of Light in the Dark Chapter 114: A Ray of Light in the Dark Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Zhen Shaoke quickly explained, "Other than that, I have another thing to request of you. I¡¯m not sure if Pill Master Mo has heard of the Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s Pill Competition? I hold your pill refining abilities in high regard, so I would like to invite Pill Master Mo to formally represent the Nine Moons Pill House in the Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s Pill Competition." Happiness overwhelmed Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. After he lost the chance to go the the Five Elements Desolate Domain with the Formless Blade Sect, he was prepared to use all means possible to get to there first before making any further plans. Who knew that he would encounter a ray of light in the dark at Fringe City, with someone inviting him to join the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. Mo Wuji soon calmed down, and respectfully replied Zhen Shaoke, "I am indeed interested in joining the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. However, I¡¯ve previously been a guest pill refiner at the Formless Blade Sect for a period of time, and offended their second elder not long ago. It is precisely because that second elder is after my head that I''m fleeing to Fringe City. If Mister Zhen is able to shield me from the Second Elder, I¡¯ll be willing to represent the Nine Moons Pill House in the competition. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to leave Fringe City immediately" There was no beating around the bush from Mo Wuji, as he admitted to his precarious situation upfront. He did not want to only inform Zhen Shaoke at the last moment, which would be a lose-lose scenario if Zhen Shaoke was not prepared by then. Even after hearing all this, Zhen Shaoke did not mind a single bit, and answered Mo Wuji with a smile on his face, "I could already guess that something like that was going on. Wuji, if I¡¯m not wrong, these few people that you brought with you, are likely your family and helpers.If you did not offend anyone, you would not have to move your whole family so frantically to Fringe City." Deep in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, he was shocked at how detailed Zhen Shaoke¡¯s observation skills were, to the level that he could infer one¡¯s situation just from the people by one¡¯s side. Moreover, during the conversation, he gradually changed how he addressed Mo Wuji to make it seem as though they were closer. "Wuji, you¡¯re really quite an honest chap to tell me all this upfront. While my Nine Moons Pill House may not be top tier, but at least we don¡¯t fear the elders of an average Earth Sect." Zhen Shaoke confidently responded. Only with this sort of calm and confident words, in absence of any boasting or arrogance, would others truly feel that he did not care about the Second Elder of the Formless Blade Sect at all. In reality, he did not even inquire about what caused the enmity between Mo Wuji and the Second Elder. "Ok, since this is the case, I¡¯ll be Nine Moons Pill House¡¯s guest pill refiner from today onwards, until the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition ends." Mo Wuji took up Zhen Shaoke¡¯s offer without hesitation this time, finally convinced by his charisma. "Young House Master, Formless Blade Sect¡¯s Elder Xu requests an audience." At that moment, an assistant from the pill house came to the door, and reported softly. Mo Wuji was secretly shocked. This Xu fella came rather fast. He had just arrived at Fringe City, and even before he had the chance to leave, this fella had arrived. No wonder this guy was not afraid of him running away. He must have known that Mo Wuji would not be able to escape that easily. What if the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House did not intervene? A shudder ran down Mo Wuji¡¯s spine, and he dared not continue down this line of thought. As expected, it was not a good move to put his life in other people¡¯s hands. He had done two things wrongly. The first was to bet his life on Yan QIanyin. The second was underestimating Elder Xu¡¯s speed. Just as his front leg entered Fringe City, Elder Xu¡¯s back leg had also arrived. What he should have done was to disappear as soon as the Meng Boyu incident happened. However if he did that, then he would neither have been able to advance to Channel Opening Stage Level 7 so quickly, nor become a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. It was hard to sum up these gains and losses to reach a final conclusion. Fundamentally, the only thing that mattered was to strengthen himself consistently. Zhen Shaoke stood up with a grin, "Wuji will you come with me?" Mo Wuji nodded his head. This whole fiasco had originated from him, so how could he not show his face if Zhen Shaoke was helping him? After all, Zhen Shaoke¡¯s willingness to help arose from his desire to borrow Mo Wuji¡¯s pill refining skill, and not because they had good relations. ¡­ "Young House Master¡¯s demeanor has become even better than before since our last meeting a long time ago." The grey robed Xu Feibo greeted Zhen Shaoke respectfully as Mo Wuji and him walked into the shophouse. But Elder Xu did not pay any attention to Mo Wuji, who was positioned behind Zhen Shaoke. This gesture was reciprocated, and Mo Wuji did not bother with the Second Elder too. This guy was going to kill him, so there was no need to be courteous with him. In spite of that, he still smiled at Qin Chen, who was standing behind the second elder. But a cold and sullen face was what he got in response, and Qin Chen had no intention of giving him a proper reply. Mo Wuji did not care about any of this. Although it seemed like Qin Xiangyu was the one that helped him join the sect, in reality, it was still reliant on Qin Chen. Now that Qin Chen always stuck to the Second Elder¡¯s side, his position in the sect should be quite high, and Qin Xiangyu would not have to worry about going through tough times with such a high ranking brother in place. Zhen Shaoke chuckled and replied respectfully, "So it¡¯s Elder Xu. Elder Xu¡¯s dao techniques also become better everyday, and in reality, I¡¯m just following your example." The Second Elder¡¯s gaze fell upon Mo Wuji, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯ll have to invite you to return to the sect with us." To this, Mo Wuji coldly answered, "Who are you to make me leave with you?" The Second Elder¡¯s expression became livid, "Mo Wuji, so you no longer recognise that you¡¯re a guest pill refiner of the Formless Blade Sect?" Immediately, Mo Wuji burst out in laughter, "So you know that I¡¯m a guest pill refiner? Do you not understand the meaning of "guest pill refiner"? It means that I can leave whenever I want to, without any restrictions. So, I¡¯m now not a guest pill refiner of the Formless Blade Sect anymore. You don¡¯t have any authority over me either." Xu Feibo was raging mad, to the point that he almost went physical, but he knew that what Mo Wuji said was not wrong. Firstly, Mo Wuji was a guest pill refiner, and he had no authority to order Mo Wuji around anymore. What¡¯s a guest? A guest is someone that you treat with respect and courtesy. Secondly, because Mo Wuji was a guest pill refiner, he could leave anytime. "Young House Master, Mo Wuji committed some offences at the Formless Blade Sect, so could I request for your permission to take him away with me? I, Elder Xu, would be very thankful for this." Xu Feibo was indeed the Second Elder of the Formless Blade Sect, but he still dared not capture men of the Nine Moons Pill House at his own whim and fancy. Zhen Shaoke softly replied, "I must let you know, Pill Master Mo has already become a guest pill refiner of the Nine Moons Pill House." Upon hearing this, Xu Feibo was disappointed. While Zhen Shaoke did not forbid him from bringing Mo Wuji away, but it could be inferred from his words. Even if he tried to take Mo Wuji away by force, he would not manage to take a single step out of the Nine Moons Pill House. Although the Nine Moons Pill House was not famous within Fringe City, it was a true Earth Sect, with a position even higher than the Formless Blade Sect. "Since this is the outcome, I will take my leave." Xu Feibo snorted coldly, bowing respectfully one last time. He then left the premises. One Xu Feibo was a distance away, Zhen Shaoke solemnly looked towards Mo Wuji, "Wuji, Xu Feibo has already reached True Lake Stage Level 7, you''d better watch out since you¡¯ve offended him." "Thank you Mister Zhen for helped me out." Mo Wuji gratefully bowed. He knew that out of the three stages of the Earth Realm, the first was the Yan Dan Stage, the second was the True Lake Stage and the third was the Nihility God Stage. All three stages had another nine levels within. As someone in the True Lake Stage Level 7, Xu Feibo was in the advanced levels of the second stage in the Earth Realm. To face an advanced True Lake Stage cultivator with Channel Opening Level 7, would be like an ant fighting against a human. Zhen Shaoke soon broke into a smile, "It¡¯s fine, the pill refiners of my Nine Moons Pill House have already headed towards the competition venue of the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. If I did not wait for you for another few days, I would have left town already. So my luck has been pretty good, being able to bump into Pill Master Mo just before I left." However, Mo Wuji still felt rather afraid deep inside, it was not that Zhen Shaoke¡¯s luck was good, but his luck was even better. Zhen Shaoke was obviously waiting for him here. Thankfully he had reached Fringe City in time. In the end, his initial desperate need for spirit stones, which led to him exchanging most of his pills for them in a rush, did not cause him to lose out by much. He unexpectedly received the favour of the Nine Moons Pill House. Could this have been a blessing in disguise? "Mister Zhen, how long exactly will we take to reach the Five Elements Desolate Domain?" Mo Wuji suddenly recalled, so he asked. "Around half a month''s time." Zhen Shaoke answered. "There¡¯s pill furnaces on the carriage?" Mo Wuji guessed that he would be taking a Flying Beast Carriage, otherwise, the trip would not be so short. "Of course there¡¯s pill furnaces. How could we leave that out if we¡¯re going to take part in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition? There¡¯s not only pill furnaces, but also an extraordinary type of earth fire." Mo Wuji then bowed respectfully to Zhen Shaoke, "Mister Zhen, I¡¯ve another request that might sound absurd. I would like to borrow some Tier 4 spiritual herbs from you." Once Mo Wuji completed his sentence, Zhen Shaoke could understand his intention, hence following up with the question, "Wuji, could it be that you intend to attempt to breakthrough to become a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner?" Without hiding anything, Mo Wuji replied, "Yes, I have the pill formula for a Tier 4 spiritual pill, and on top of that, I¡¯ve been a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner for a very long time. So I would like to give it a shot. In the off chance that I am able to advance to the level of a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, it would be a win-win situation for both the Nine Moons Pill House and me." In reality, it was barely a month since Mo Wuji joined the ranks of Tier 3 pill refiners. The only reason that he was confident enough to try breaking through to become a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, was because of his pill techniques. Since he had concocted the Spirit Strengthening Pill, he could cultivate his spiritual will, and brandishing pill techniques was no longer a problem. If he had Tier 4 spiritual herbs to experiment with, who knew if he could really rely on these pill techniques to concoct a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill. Without the power of spiritual will, Mo Wuji would definitely have not made such an attempt. Zhen Shaoke paused for a moment, before chuckling, "Wuji, you¡¯ve come to the right guy. I don¡¯t have much of anything else, but I do have spiritual herbs in abundance. I can even help you get a few stalks of Tier 5 spiritual herbs, what more Tier 4 ones? Just experiment as much as you want. Whether you succeed or fail doesn¡¯t matter." With the additional assurance from Zhen Shaoke, Mo Wuji finally stopped worrying. Although there was a slight moment of hesitation when Zhen Shaoke replied, but he did not reject the proposition. Chapter 115: What Granny Linglong Wants Chapter 115: What Granny Linglong Wants Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Two days later, Mo Wuji followed Zhen Shaoke to where thought he was going to board his beast carriage. That''s when he received a huge shock. How is this a beast carriage? It''s a huge flying ship! "Mr Zhen, is this a flying beast carriage?" As Mo Wuji walked up the flying ship, he saw huge and various floors of living quarters, and he could not help but ask. Zhen Shaoke was surprised for a moment before he laughed and said, "Wuji, looks like you''re really a rogue cultivator. The road to Five Elements Desolate Domain is long and arduous, a beast carriage is too slow, and it wouldn''t be able to reach our destination in time. This here, is a flying treasure. It can be considered a low grade spiritual equipment." Mo Wuji had always known of the occupation of smiths, but this was his first time hearing the different grades of magic treasures, so he hurried to ask, "Is this spiritual equipment a magic treasure? And it''s actually a flying one?" Zhen Shaoke explained without a hint of impatience, "Items which fly are merely flying magic treasures, such as my flying ship. In reality, mortals have their martial weapons, while cultivators have magic treasures. Magic treasures can be further classified as magic items and spiritual equipment. I even heard that there are immortal equipment, but those are things of legends. Magic items and spiritual equipment have different grades: Low, Intermediate and High. Most cultivators use magic items. As the cost of spiritual equipment is too high, only few cultivators can afford to use it. I heard that smiths who can craft spiritual equipment are no lower than Earth Pill Refiners." So it''s like that. It seems like the sharp knife I obtained is a magic item. After boarding the ship, Mo Wuji was allocated a pill room. Yan''Er and Xiong Xiuzhu shared a room, while Tao Ao and Fei Bingzhu shared another. Zhen Shaoke kept this ship while waiting for Mo Wuji, so it was rather empty. Not long after the group boarded, the flying ship¡¯s body trembled slightly before charging up to the sky. Mo Wuji gazed out the window and watched the white clouds fly by. This flying ship was multiple times faster than an airplane. Mo Wuji sighed; he finally understood why the people here did not pursue technology, and places with technology were the places where there weren''t cultivators. How could an airplane¡¯s speed compare to this flying ship? Furthermore, the taking off and landing of an airplane wastes time, and one would constantly need to monitor changes in the weather during an airplane''s flight. The pill room he was in was not considered big, and there was a cyan pill furnace at its centre. Mo Wuji might not know much about pill furnaces but he could tell that this pill furnace was better than the two he had used before. By the side, there was a spiritual herbs shelf which held the spiritual herbs which Mo Wuji wanted. This time, Mo Wuji was preparing to concoct the Earth Yuan Pill. Among Tier 4 pills, the Earth Yuan Pill could be considered the most typical kind of pill. Not only were the spiritual herbs not very expensive, the techniques needed were also rather simple. This pill was mainly for Yuan Dan Stage cultivators to recover their True Yuan. At the same time, it could also be used by cultivators below the Yuan Dan Stage. Initially, Mo Wuji thought that with the bit of spiritual will he possessed and the pill techniques he could exhibit, concocting Tier 4 Earth Pills should not be a major problem. But a failure at his very first attempt delivered him a huge blow. He couldn''t even fuse the medicinal essences for the most simplest of Tier 4 Earth Pills. Under the raving spiritual energy, his pill techniques were all to no avail. After he barely managed to purify the spiritual herbs, the medicinal essences dispersed the moment they touched. He was completely unable to control the crazy outburst of spirituality; the pill techniques only served the prolong the time he could hold. Tier 4 spiritual herbs were too hard to control, it was at least ten times harder than Tier 3 ones. After failing for three consecutive times, Mo Wuji decided to stop practising. Any further practice would just be wasting the ingredients. What he was lacking in weren''t his hand and pill techniques, but his cultivation. Maybe after reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 9 or Spirit Building Stage, he could be able to successfully concoct a Tier 4 pill. However, it was an still an impossible task for now. Mo Wuji did not mind that he wasn''t able to concoct the Tier 4 pills. He believed that he just needed to be able to take part in the pill competition and get onto the Five Elements Desolate Domain name list. Didn''t Yan Qianyin say that Granny Linglong wanted to search for a spiritual herb? If he wasn''t able to meet Granny Linglong, he would go to Five Elements Desolate Domain to search for the herb which Granny Linglong wanted. If he played his cards right, he did not believe that he would not be able to move Granny Linglong. Even though he stopped practising on Tier 4 pills, Mo Wuji did not go out but continued on with Tier 3 pills. He did not do it to familiarise himself with the hand and pill techniques, but to keep his pill techniques hidden from view. Once he competes, he might have to use his pill techniques. It would be best if he could keep his pill techniques hidden within his hand techniques. After all, most powerful pill refiners would have their own unique hand techniques. If he could do things more discretely, his pill techniques should not be discovered. Ten days passed in a flash, Mo Wuji should be reaching the Five Elements Desolate Domain soon. Mo Wuji closed his pill furnace and walked out the door. "Wuji, any results?" Mo Wuji did not expect that Zhen Shaoke would actually be waiting for him outside his door; the moment he opened it, he saw Zhen Shaoke. Mo Wuji said ruefully, "I failed, I really underestimated Tier 4 Earth Pills and failed for 3 consecutive batches. Afterwards, I was always practising my Tier 3 Mortal Pills." Zhen Shaoke laughed and said in an accommodating tone, "That''s okay. In less than two hours, we will be reaching the Five Elements Desolate Domain site. You''ve been cooped up in your room for so long, come, let''s go out and take a walk." Mo Wuji was sure he didn''t see any hint of disappointment in Zhen Shaoke''s eyes. It could be inferred that ever since he made his request, Zhen Shaoke already knew that Mo Wuji would not be able to advance to Tier 4. He probably did since his understanding towards advancements in pill refinement was definitely higher. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji was not able to advance, he still took out Tier 4 spiritual herbs for Mo Wuji to practise. It didn''t matter what Zhen Shaoke was thinking, but this act really made Mo Wuji want to befriend him. Perhaps Zhen Shaoke might not be a friend he could bear his heart out to, but he definitely was a person worth cooperating with. As they walked to the head of the flying ship, Mo Wuji found that Yan''Er had already been invited by Zhen Shaoke. It seems like Zhen Shaoke knew the place Yan''Er had in Mo Wuji''s heart. Seeing Mo Wuji, Yan''Er''s eyes immediately calmed down and walked to Mo Wuji''s side and sat down. "Wuji, are you bringing Little Sis Yan''Er to Five Elements Desolate Domain to find Granny Linglong?" After waiting for Mo Wuji and Yan''Er to finish their conversation, Zhen Shaoke suddenly asked. "Yes, I heard that her condition can only cured by Granny Linglong." Mo Wuji felt that there was nothing to hide. Zhen Shaoke was a pill house master; he definitely had an extraordinary understanding of things. Naturally, he would be able to see that Yan''Er was subject to a failed spiritual roots transfer, resulting in her memory loss. Zhen Shaoke''s expression turned heavy as he said, "Wuji, even though I hope that Granny Linglong can help you, I still have to tell you this, even if you meet Granny Linglong, you wouldn''t be able to get her to help you. So it''s best if you don''t harbour too much hope." This was not the first time Mo Wuji had heard this. He sighed, "Even if that''s the case, I still have to find her and try. I will not give up to the very end." Zhen Shaoke continued, "Wuji, I do have an idea to get Granny Linglong to help, but it''s just that this idea is a little dangerous¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly bolted up and grabbed Zhen Shaoke and said, "Mr Zhen, please share." Zhen Shaoke patted Mo Wuji, indicating for him to sit down. Only then did he say, "You don''t have to get so anxious, listen to me carefully. Not only is Granny Linglong the number one pill refiner in Heaven Seeking Palace, she is also undoubtedly the top pill refiner in the entire Lost Continent. The thing she wants naturally isn''t simple." "Then will Granny Linglong also take part in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition?" Mo Wuji interrupted again. Zhen Shaoke laughed, "There are some conditions to the competition. Firstly, you need to be at least a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Secondly, you need to be below 100 years old. If you''re above 100, it doesn''t matter how good your pill refining is, you would not be allowed to participate. The first condition isn''t really enforced. During the competition, some Tier 2 pill refiners could sneak in. But doing that would just be humiliating themselves, and they definitely won''t be able to obtain a place on the name list." Hearing about the age limit, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He was a mere Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, and there were many more impressive pill refiners than him. If a senior refiner like Shen Lian''s father also takes part in the pill competition, how could he actually win? "You will be competing to be in the top 100. The first place gets 100 names on the Five Elements Desolate Domain name list. The second place gets 99 names on the name list. The third gets 98¡­ So on and so forth until the 100th place who gets one name. As long as you get on that name list, you will get a chance to request Granny Linglong''s help. However, it''s not easy to get within the top 100, because in this competition, you will practically be competing with the greatest pill refiners in the entire Lost Continent." "Mr Zhen, please carry on." Mo Wuji had already calmed down. This sort of competition format was beneficial for him. He did not need to be first place. He just needed to enter the top 100. The total time Zhen Shaoke and Mo Wuji interacted was rather little. The trip only took ten over days, and Mo Wuji spent most of this time practicing his concoction. Even so, Zhen Shaoke had a brief understanding of Mo Wuji, and even an appreciation of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had an indomitable will, and more importantly, he always made calm decisions. A typical person being chased by the Second Elder would probably shit bricks. However, Mo Wuji calmly brought his family to Fringe City to find a transfer array. If not for Zhen Shaoke''s act of helping him fend off the Second Elder, he might have really took a transfer array and left "Most of the people entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain are searching for the Flower of the True Gods Flower. However, what Granny Linglong wants isn''t the Flower of the True Gods, but a sort of crystal¡­" Zhen Shaoke continued. Mo Wuji didn''t know much about the Flower of the True Gods. He didn''t even know what the Three Heavens of the Heaven Realm were. Even though he really wanted to ask Zhen Shaoke what the Flower of the True Gods was, as well as what the Three Heavens were, he kept these burning questions in. The thing which Granny Linglong wanted was more important to him. "May I ask what kind of crystal is Granny Linglong looking for?" Mo Wuji asked. Chapter 116: Second House Master Chapter 116: Second House Master Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal! " Zhen Shaoke replied, "This is a type of crystal that grows below the icy terrane. Strictly speaking, it is not considered an ice crystal as it is in fact something that can only grow with ice crystals surrounding it." "Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? What is it used for?" This was the first time Mo Wuji heard of such a thing. Zhen Shaoke said with some admiration, "Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is actually worth way more than the Flower of True Gods and it is very rare to collect. The many uses for it include being able to wake the sleeping soul as well restoring the broken soul. Even though it is not considered to be able to revive the dead, there isn¡¯t much difference from it. Even experts who have lost their mind and way in the cultivation world can recover immediately with this crystal. Therefore, as soon as such an item appear even in small amount, it will result in many experts fighting over it." Mo Wuji felt a little heavy-hearted as such an item must be really tough to get his hands on. Even if he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, it would still not be easy for him to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. "Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal does not exist within the areas owned by the five big empires. It only appears in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Rumours were that when the Five Elements Desolate Domain opened up three years ago, someone found a piece of it. Nobody knew where the piece or the person who found it went. I¡¯ve heard that the person who found it disappeared without a trace," Mo Wuji knew the meaning behind Zhen Shaoke¡¯s words. He was trying to imply how dangerous it would be to even possess a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. Just as Mo Wuji was about to inquire further, the ship¡¯s body trembled. Zhen Shaoke smiled as he stood up, "We have arrived at the periphery of the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill competition venue. Wuji, please bring your people and follow me." Mo Wuji descended the flying ship and the spacious venue caught his eye. There were many people all around the square and numerous tall buildings by the side. These buildings should only be built recently because it seemed very new. There were all sorts of sects, commercial buildings and row upon rows of restaurants. Mo Wuji would have thought that he entered a brand new cultivation city if he had no idea this was built from a wilderness. Nine Moons Pill House were neither regarded very highly not too lowly. Nine Moons Pill House continued business as usual here and there were still quite a few customers.There was a huge door beside the building which held Nine Moons Pill House. Mo Wuji brought the rest to follow behind Zhen Shaoke into the huge door. They entered a pretty big courtyard which held over 10 houses. A middle-aged man hurried over to welcome Zhen Shaoke as he approached, "Lord Shaoke¡­" Zhen Shaoke nodded as head and pointed to Mo Wuji and his friends, "Steward Bu, these are my good friends. Please prepare three houses¡­" "Shaoke, you should not be doing this in the future anymore. The houses here are already so cramped up yet you casually brought a group of people here and asked for three houses. You should not be messing around even if you are the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House," a cold voice interrupted Zhen Shaoke¡¯s words. Mo Wuji noticed a woman with red phoenix eyes walking over mightily. Zhen Shaoke gave a slight smile as he bowed and said, "Greetings Second House Master." The red phoenix eyed woman looked friendlier when she felt Zhen Shaoke¡¯s politeness, "Shaoke, you are no longer a kid. You do know the importance of the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition yet you only arrived today. Normally I couldn¡¯t be bothered when you make friends with dubious people however, you actually brought these people back to Nine Moons Pill House to occupy the houses? Don¡¯t you think this is a little too ridiculous?" Mo Wuji sighed in his heart and as it did not seem like this master Shaoke would always have the final say in matters here at Nine Moons Pill House. There were still the Old and Second House Master above him. Who knows if there is a third master too? Old master should most likely be Zhen Shaoke¡¯s father. Seeing how mighty this Second House Master was acting, Mo Wuji doubted that his stay here would be peaceful. Zhen Shaoke¡¯s expression changed as he added seriousness in his tone, "Second House Master, whoever I befriend with is my own problem. Even my family members should not intervene so please mind your hurtful words." Second House Master grunted and was about to continue speaking when they heard an impatient voice, "Big brother, why have you only arrived today? How was it? Did you find the person you were looking for?" A muscular black-faced man carrying a hammer on his back appeared. Seeing this muscular man, Zhen Shaoke revealed yet another smile and then turning to Mo Wuji and said, "Wuji, this is my younger brother Zhen Shaoru. Shaoru, this is Pill Master Mo and I invited him to represent us in the Five Elements Desolate Domain," Mo Wuji thought to himself : These two brothers are way too different in terms of their looks and mettle. Second House Master said bluntly, "The people representing Nine Moons Pill House at the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition were already decided long ago and we are not planning to include anymore. Shaoke, now is the crucial period for the competition therefore, I do hope that you can bring your friends to stay at some other hotel so as to not affect our pill refiners¡¯ final preparations for the competition." Before Zhen Shaoke could speak, Zhen Shaoru¡¯s eyes widened and gave the Second House Master a glare, "Woman what do you mean by that? Please explain yourself." Zhen Shaoke hurried to hold Zhen Shaoru back and then said to Second House Master, " Second House Master, in any case, I am still the Young House Master of Nine Moons Pill House. Am I not even qualified to recommend a pill refiner to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition?" "Big brother is right. We two brothers are definitely going to stay here and what will a woman like you do to us?" Zhen Shaoru stomped his foot before shouting. This sentence of his made it sound like as though the Second House Master did not allow the two brothers to stay here. The Second House Master replied, "I did not say so. It is not entirely impossible if Young House Master really insist on letting the people you brought over to participate in the pill competition. However, the competition to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain itself was already difficult and the placings are already so little¡­" Zhen Shaoke had a clear thought process as well as great EQ therefore, he knew what the Second House Master was implying. He knew that the Second House Master wanted to use this incident to remove the two brothers¡¯ placings into the Five Elements Desolate Domain. He said coldly, "Since this is the case, we will do as you please. I invited Pill Master Mo to represent Nine Moons Pill House to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition and whether or not he makes the cut, we brothers will not use the Pill House¡¯s placings to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Finishing, Zhen Shaoke did not bother about the Second House Master anymore and turned to Mo Wuji with a smile, "Wuji, whether or not we have a chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain is all dependent on you now." Mo Wuji took a step forward and said, "Thank you Zhen Shao for your trust. If I were to win the placings, who decides who gets to go with myself?" "You would be naturally be the one deciding," Zhen Shaoru replied. Mo Wuji wanted to hear this sentence as he needed the Second House Master to hear this. He could feel that there were some tensions between the Second House Master and Young House Master. "Let¡¯s go, we shall go back to rest now. Steward Bu, please prepare a few clean houses immediately," Zhen Shaoke did not bother about the Second House Master as he gave his orders to the steward. He said this sentence with a little bit of aggression such that if the Second House Master still chose to object, he will definitely burst out in anger. "Yes, Young House Master," Steward Bu saw that the Second House Master did not object and therefore acknowledged immediately, turned and went to prepare the houses. Steward Bu got things done very swiftly as within a few minutes, Mo Wuji and the rest were allocated their own houses. Mo Wuji would be living alone, Yan¡¯Er and Xiong Xiuzhu staying together while Tao Ao and Fei Bingzhu in another house. Mo Wuji finally managed to settle down as Zhen Shaoke entered his room again. "Wuji, there isn¡¯t really a refiner like you who still brings around his own refining equipment," Zhen Shaoke noticed the refining equipment placed by the side by Tao Ao the moment he entered the room. Mo Wuji laughed, ignored his comments about the refining equipment and then asked, "Zhen Shao, why is the Second House Master so against you?" Zhen Shaoke wiped the smile off his face and said grudgingly, "Nine Moons Pill House has three House Masters. My father is the Old Master. 10 years ago, my father advanced into the first stage of the Heaven Realm and then never appeared again. During the early years, Second House Master was still fine until recently when she found out that my father probably failed to advance successfully, her attitude changed. If not for the group of elders who constantly support us brothers, we would not have been able to gain a foothold here at Nine Moons Pill House. In recent years, Second House Master found out that I¡¯ve been able to further develop my strength hence, choosing to continue picking on me again. This proved that I am not close with any of the pill refiners who will be representing Nine Moons Pill House in the competition. In fact, they are all Tier 3 pill refiners. Even without this incident, I doubt we will have the chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain after the competition ended." "What about Third House Master?" Mo Wuji asked inquisitively as he realised how Zhen Shaoke desperate he was to find Mo Wuji for help. Zhen Shaoke shook his head, "Third House Master is only focused on concocting pills and could not be bothered about anything else. This trip to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, if I can find a precious spiritual herb, there is a high chance I can let my brother enter the Heaven Seeking Palace. Once he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, we would have one brother on the inside and one brother on the outside and it would be very difficult for Second House Master to pick on me again." Indeed, every family had their own problems. Mo Wuji did not talk about this topic anymore as he asked, "Zhen Shao, do you know which station was this Heaven Seeking Palace located at?" The moment this sentence came out, Zhen Shaoke knew what Mo Wuji was intending to do as he hurried to say, "Wuji, you must not keep harbouring the thoughts of meeting Granny Linglong. The Heaven Seeking Palace is not a place anybody could enter. If you were to anger the Heaven Seeking Palace, even if you have 100 lives, it will not be enough to compensate." "No, I have to at least try to make it there. If I don¡¯t try, I will always have regrets," Mo Wuji said with a lot of determination, "But not now. After the pill competition because if I were to win the placings, I will definitely be emboldened." Mo Wuji knew clearly that courage alone would not lead to success. If he were to win the placings in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition, it would at least mean he would have been qualified enough to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Only if he possessed the qualification to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain then would he be eligible to find Granny Linglong. After hearing that Mo Wuji would only go after the competition itself, Zhen Shaoke heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to reply Mo Wuji, Zhen Shaoru barged in and said, "Wuji, let me bring you to a fun place. I am sure you will like it." "Where?" Mo Wuji looked curiously at Zhen Shaoru as he thought that this fella was a born socializer as he only just met him and had not even had a conversation with him. Regardless, he treated Mo Wuji like an old friend, bringing him around to fun places. Chapter 117: Pill Refiners’ Interaction Session Chapter 117: Pill Refiners¡¯ Interaction Session Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Zhen Shaoru happily spoke, "Isn¡¯t the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition about to begin? There are so many pill refiners gathered here already. I heard that one of the pill refiners from the Heaven Seeking Palace started a pill refining interaction session, and all pill refiners are qualified to take part in it¡­" Without waiting for Zhen Shaoru to finish, Mo Wuji interrupted out of excitement, "You¡¯re asking me to join this interaction session?" "Yes, will you go or not?" Mo Wuji immediately agreed without a shred of hesitation, "I¡¯ll go, of course I¡¯ll go. Let¡¯s leave right now," Even if it was not an interaction session initiated by the Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Wuji would have went for it anyway. Now that the Heaven Seeking Palace came into the picture, he naturally wanted to take a look even more. Out of Zhen Shaoke¡¯s clothes, a green jade token emerged. He handed it to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, this is the token for participating in the pill competition. Without this token, Shaoru and you might not be able to enter." ¡­ When they arrived at the back of the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s encampment, Mo Wuji finally understood why the Heaven Seeking Palace was the speaker of the Lost Continent. While this square at the outskirts of the Five Elements Desolate Domain was gigantic, but the sects and people here were numerous too. In reality, every corner of the square was very jam packed. In this whole picture, the Heaven Seeking Palace not only took up the best position, but also the centremost position. On top of that, they occupied one of the largest land areas of all the sects. This might have been a temporary location for encampments, but a display of power like this really showed how mightier they were compared to other sects around. "So how is it? Let¡¯s ask the Heaven Seeking Sect. If I can obtain a Flower of the True Gods in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, I¡¯ll also stand a chance to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace," Zhen Shaoru exclaimed. Mo Wuji thought to himself. This guy must really be quite carefree. Unless he¡¯s completely sure that he can get a placing? Once he did not get one of the placings, based on the deal between Zhen Shaoke and the Second House Master, Zhen Shaoru would have no chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. "Are the two of you here to take part in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Refiner interaction session?" Right outside the outermost perimeter of the Heaven Seeking Palace, a service disciple stopped both of them from progressing any further. By then, Mo Wuji was already very familiar with what kind of person Zhen Shaoru was, and he quickly produced the green jade token, "Yes, we are the people taking part from the Nine Moons Pill House¡­" "Come in." The disciple just let them in, without looking at Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token at all. Zhen Shaoru replied joyfully, "You don¡¯t need to hold back. He likely recognised that I¡¯m the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House, so he gave me some face," Hearing this, Mo Wuji became speechless. Zhen Shaoru must have feel quite good about himself. Those outer disciples probably don¡¯t recognise them at all, much less Zhen Shaoru. The truth is that no checks were conducted at all, and anyone who was going to the pill refiner interaction session was let through. As such, it was obvious that the Heaven Seeking Palace was rather friendly towards pill refiners participating in the session. After entering the door, there was a sign labelled "Pill Refiner Interaction Session" with an arrow pointing to the left. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru walked for 30 over metres more, before reaching a broad and tall hall door. Without any prompting, the doors opened before them. There were already hundred of people inside the hall. Every corner of the hall had various types of fruits, and upon further scrutiny, Mo Wuji discovered that some of them were even Tier 1 spirit fruits. This truly reflected the extent of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s wealth. Zhen Shaoru¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw these spirit fruits, and he rushed over to start munching down on them. "Not bad, not bad, these are spirit fruits. Moreover, they¡¯re free. Wuji, why don¡¯t you come eat a few?" With these freebies presented to them, it would have been a waste to not eat any. Zhen Shaoru held this belief, and called for Mo Wuji to join him, while he carried on with his eating spree. A few looks of disdain went their way, but Mo Wuji acted as though he did not see them, and straight up grabbed a spirit fruit to eat. While he could afford to eat this sort of spirit fruit, it was a rare occasion. Other than those that he gave to Yan¡¯Er, the majority of them were used to refine pills. As for Zhen Shaoru, even if there were ten thousand people scornfully gazing upon him, he would just act like he¡¯s blind. This guy did not know what a disdainful look was, and only cared about eating whatever he liked. After Mo Wuji just finished his first spirit fruit, a great commotion rose in the centre of the hall. He went over to take a look out of curiosity. A young man was seemingly giving a lecture on drug theory, and the surrounding people broke into a round of applause. Mo Wuji quickly told Zhen Shaoru, "I¡¯ll go over to take a look, carry on eating without me," His reason for coming here was naturally to learn more drug theory, so since there was someone who voluntarily started sharing, he would not miss this opportunity. Squeezing into the crowd, Mo Wuji finally had a clear view of the pill refiner giving the explanation. What puzzled him however, was that this pill refiner seemed to be about as old as him. He appeared at most 22 or 23 years old, with average looks. However, the man had striking red hair, and a cauldron shaped mark in the middle of his forehead, which left a deep impression in others. This man was explaining the pros and cons of hand techniques, and their relationship with pill forming. While this was all fine and dandy, it wasn¡¯t really useful for Mo Wuji who was already very well trained in hand and pill techniques. Moreover, his understanding towards how to use the hand and pill techniques was different from what this guy explained. Seeing that the whole crowd encircled this pill refiner to listen to his lecture, all seemingly in a trance, Mo Wuji carefully tugged at the tubby pill refiner beside him to ask, "Who exactly is this pill refiner that¡¯s giving everyone a lecture?" The fatty pill refiner was infuriated, as Mo Wuji broke his concentration. But once he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s question, the rage was replaced by shock. Eyes wide open, staring at Mo Wuji, he asked, "You¡¯re kidding me, you don¡¯t even know Cauldron Lord?" Mo Wuji frantically gave the fatty a pat, before whispering, "Brother, I¡¯m not involved in pill refining, so I don¡¯t know as much as you do. Please do enlighten me." Hearing that Mo Wuji was not a pill refiner, and also the tone of respect that he spoke with, the fatty was rather satisfied with the explanation, " Let me teach you, Cauldron Lord¡¯s surname is Zhang¡­" The nonsensical introduction by the fatty almost made Mo Wuji double up in laughter. Thankfully he knew that the fatty was just saying so out of respect for Cauldron Lord, hence he kept it in. "...Because when he just arrived in this world, he had a cauldron shaped birthmark on his forehead, the number one pill sect in Tian Sheng Empire, the Heavenly Drug Sect, specially came to bring him away. At the same time, he was given the name Zhang Ding. At the age of 10, Cauldron Lord became a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner. At the age of 11, he advanced to a Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner. At 13, he reached the level of a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. And by 14, he was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. As long as something is related to pill refining, he would pick it up after the most brief of experience. Hence in the pill refining world, everyone calls him Cauldron Lord..." At least Mo Wuji finally understood this guy''s decorated background. Indeed he had shone brightly since birth. After the fatty completed his brief introduction, he no longer bothered with Mo Wuji, and turned his attention back at Zhang Ding''s lecture on pill refining. As someone who had a cauldron shaped birthmark, he made Mo Wuji very curious about his insights for pill refining. "...And these are my insights to hand techniques for pill refining. Ordinary Tier 3 Mortal Spirit Pills can normally be concocted with hand techniques, and even higher quality pills can be produced. However, there''s one type of pill, no matter how high your cultivation is, that cannot be concocted with hand techniques..." Zhang Ding''s words were very convincing, sucking even Mo Wuji in. "Cauldron Lord, what kind of pill is that?" Someone immediately asked. Zhang Ding nodded, "That''s a good question. It is the Spiritual Will pills. A pill that can condense and strengthen spiritual will." "Isn''t spiritual will something that you can only train after forming the Spirit Yuan at the Nihility God Stage? Is this a Earth Spirit Pill?" Another person from the crowd followed up. "What do you know? I heard that there¡¯s a type of Tier 3 Mortal Spirit Pill called the Spiritual Will Pill, but its formula is incomplete at best." Pressing his hands together Zhang Ding carried on, "What this guy just said is quite right, there¡¯s indeed a Tier 3 Mortal Spirit Pill for spiritual will. It¡¯s called the Spirit Strengthening Pill. Spirit Strengthening Pill¡¯s incomplete formula can be found everywhere, but the complete formula has been lost. It is rumoured that this pill can allow those below the Nihility God Stage, and even those below the Yuan Dan Stage to condense spiritual will." A wave of discussion broke out among the crowd, and Zhang Ding continued, "The Spirit Strengthening Pill can be considered one of the most valuable out of all Tier 3 Mortal Spirit Pills, possibly even one of the top three." Mo Wuji thought to himself, who knew the Spirit Strengthening Pill and its formula was so valuable. Luckily he did not show others the Spirit Strengthening Pill formula, otherwise, he would be in a lot of danger. Majority of the pill refiners were disappointed, but at this point, Zhang Ding added on, "The loss of the Spirit Strengthening Pill, not only restricts all mortal pill refiners, but also imposes a great limit on all cultivators below the Nihility God Stage. A cultivator with spiritual will and one who does not are on completely different levels. I¡¯ve heard that in the Five Elements Desolate Domain of the past, cultivators below the Nihility God Stage could train their spiritual will. As we can see, if we were to compare cultivators from both areas, those of the Lost Continent are extremely far behind." Following Zhang Ding¡¯s words was a flurry of activity and discussions. Some people even agitatedly declared that they would find the Spirit Strengthening Pill and contribute to the Lost Continent. This went on for a while, then Zhang Ding used his hands to signal the crowd to quieten down, before raising his voice and declaring in a passionate tone, "To make up for the incomplete Spirit Strengthening Pill, I have finally created a pill that can strengthen your hidden spiritual will after many years of research. This pill might not be able to allow you to train spiritual will like the Spirit Strengthening Pill, but with long term use, you will be able to unknowingly raise the level of your hidden spiritual will¡­" Clap Clap Clap Clap A round of applause rang out throughout the hall, after which people began asking what the name of this pill was. "Cauldron Lord, you are the most talented pill refiner of the younger generation in the Lost Continent, and also the young pill refiner that has made the most contributions to us cultivators." "That¡¯s right, if it weren¡¯t for Cauldron Lord researching on this pill, he could have been a Tier 5 Earth Pill Refiner by now." ¡­ Wave after wave of noise was produced by the overly excited crowd, and various pill refiners were becoming more and more excited. Zhang Ding gestured to the crowd to quieten down once again, "What a pity. If we are to discuss about the most talented pill refiner of the younger generation, I believe that it should be senior apprentice sister Muying from Heaven Seeking Palace. She¡¯s the role model for my generation, someone who has made real contributions to all¡­" "You¡¯re still wrong, the pill refiner who has contributed the most is neither you nor me." A crisp and cold voice came from the door, interrupting Zhang Ding abruptly. Chapter 118: The Alchemist With The Greatest Contributions Chapter 118: The Alchemist With The Greatest Contributions Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Following those words, a lady in a light green dress walked over. "Pill Master Mu!" "Senior apprentice sister Mu¡­" ¡­ As this woman walked over, the crowd of pill refiners dispersed to form a clear path. They all greeted her with a tone of admiration and reverence. Even Zhang Ding clasped his fists and greeted her. Mo Wuji hurried to stand by the side, his heart pounded heavily. This Pill Master Mu must have been the Mu Ying who Zhang Ding mentioned. What excited Mo Wuji was that this Pill Master Mu came from the Heaven Seeking Palace. Moreover, she was even from the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. If he could get acquainted with her, then it would be much easier to approach Granny Linglong. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji deeply yearned to simply pounce forward and grab Mu Ying''s hand and plead her to be his friend. Thereafter, she would help him arrange a date. However, these were mere thoughts. If he really did that, he might not even get to meet Mu Ying ever again. Even worse, his rights to participate in the pill competition might even be revoked. "Senior apprentice sister Mu, even though your master isn''t Granny Linglong, you are able to concoct the Channel Restoring Pill. Not only are you the role model for all pill refiners of a generation, you have also brought fortune to many cultivators with damages to their spirit channels. Of course, I''m referring to the younger generation." Even though Zhang Ding did not directly rebut Mu Ying''s words, his words carried some retorts. Mu Ying said lightly, "The various pill refiners in the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda each have their own merits. Granny Linglong is an exceptional pill refiner from the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. At the same time, my master is also an exceptional pill refiner from the Pill Pagoda..." As he heard this conversation, Mo Wuji''s heart sank. From Mu Ying''s tone, he could hear that she had some animosity towards Granny Linglong. If not, as a fellow member of the Pill Pagoda, she wouldn''t utter such words. Zhang Ding said in an awkward tone, "Of course that''s the case. Anyone of the senior pill refiners of the Pill Pagoda is a true source of admiration. My goal is to be like senior apprentice sister and enter the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. In the entire younger generation, of course it''s Mu..." Without waiting for Zhang Ding to finish speaking, Mu Ying interrupted Zhang Ding''s words, "Pill Master Zhang, you''re wrong again. In the younger generation, the alchemist [1] with the greatest contributions isn''t you nor me. It''s not even any of the pill refiner''s here..." At this point, many of the pill refiners were astonished by Mu Ying''s words. It could be said that the most outstanding young pill refiners have been gathered here. Unless it''s some young pill refiner they didn''t know? If this young pill refiner was even more impressive than Mu Ying and Zhang Ding, wouldn''t he be too overpowered? "May I ask who this pill refiner is?" Zhang Ding could not help but ask. Mu Ying''s eyes swept across the crowd before silently saying, "The person of interest is a simple drug refiner from the mortal world. After his family fell, he was left without a proper place to live and food to eat. But, it''s exactly this person who created a healing drug known as the Nine Lives Healing Ointment, which was later called penicillin. This healing drug can prevent the infection of wounds, and said the lives of thousands of millions of ordinary citizens, and billions of injured soldiers. For these rescued soldiers and citizens to remember this drug refiner, they renamed it to Mo''s Drug. If we''re talking about the title of the alchemist with the greatest contributions, I believe that it belongs to Mo." Zhang was speechless, if the other party wasn''t Mu Ying, he would have left a long time ago. Even so, he argued, "Senior apprentice sister Mu, that is a mere drug by a drug refiner. Even a Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner would be able to concoct something better than that, right? How dare he deserve the title as the alchemist with the greatest contributions? He''s just a mere drug refiner." Many people agreed with Zhang Ding''s words. Like Zhang Ding, they would have ridiculed the person if she was not Mu Ying. Mu Ying shook her head and said solemnly, "This Alchemist Mo''s Mo''s Drug only requires a few copper coins for each bottle. Can everyone here tell me, which pill can be purchased using copper coins? Let''s not talk about copper coins, which pill can be bought using a few gold coins? Let''s assume that pills can in fact be bought with copper coins, then can everyone tell me now, how many pill refiners are needed to concoct enough pills to save thousands of millions of our injured?" As she got to this point, Mu Ying became overly excited. She took a deep breath before continuing, "After this drug refiner innovated this Mo''s Drug, he did not monopolize it to earn money. Instead, he gave the formula out for free. If not for him, how many innocent lives would perish every single day? How many of us have his generosity and open-mindedness? How many of us have his spirit of contribution? Perhaps it''s because everyone here is a cultivator, so we view ordinary mortal''s lives as air. But then I would like to ask everyone, how many of you weren''t mortals before you started cultivating? Or did everyone magically appeared out from a rock, and immediately became cultivators. [2] Aren''t your parents and siblings also mortals? If not for the foundations of mortals, where would cultivators come from? Moreover, we''re just cultivators, and our lives are simply longer than mortals. But ultimately, we''ll still be like mortals and return to the earth. In other words, we''re just mortals with a longer lifespan. Since that''s the case, who are we to look down on mortals?" As she finished, Mo Wuji really felt like applauding for her. This Mu Ying had an honest and genuine nature, which he appreciated. However, he was not as noble as Mu Ying had described him to be. The reason why he gave penicillin away was to protect his own life. However, he did not expect that after he left, the people who benefited from penicillin would actually rename it as Mo''s Drug. This really made Mo Wuji''s face turn red. At the same, he was celebrating that he created penicillin here. Many people who remembered kindness were actually these ordinary mortals. Mu Ying''s words induced silence in the crowd. Everyone here were all high and lofty cultivators, and their positions were even higher as pill refiners. However, Mu Ying''s words were not wrong; before they cultivated, they were also mortals, and after they cultivated, they still have some family members who were mortals. Mu Ying''s eyes swept across the pill refiners before she suddenly clasped her fists towards the sky, "I would like to thank Drug Refiner Mo on behalf of all those billion mortal lives." "Senior apprentice sister Mu is right. We were all once mortals. Now, how about we welcome senior apprentice sister Mu to share with us how she created the Channel Restoring Pill," Zhang Ding was very soon able to recover his usual state and he was the first to applaud for Mu Ying. Seeing this, Mo Wuji felt that this Zhang Ding was rather pretentious. Clearly, Zhang Ding felt differently from Mu Ying, but he did not disagree just because Mu Ying was in a higher position than him. Mu Ying waved her hands, "On the path of pills, I''ve just merely started taking a few steps. I''m not much further than everyone. But since it''s an interaction session, let''s all discuss our theories. Also, another reason why I''m here is to exchange for spiritual herbs." A middle-aged pill refiner immediately said, "Senior apprentice Mu is right; exchanging spiritual herbs is a main reason for this session. How about we start now? I have the following Tier 3 spiritual herbs: Earthcloud silk, Floating Star..." With this middle-aged man taking the lead, many pill refiners started taking out their spiritual herbs. At the same time, many started erecting signs with the herbs they wanted. In a short time, this interaction session became a herb exchange session. Mo Wuji stood by Zhang Ding''s side, and he coincidentally saw a trace of unwillingness flash across his eyes. However, this was just a fleeting flash, as he soon recovered a smile-filled expression and took out the herbs he wanted to exchange away. This person might be very talented, he was also very jealous. Seeing that his limelight was taken away the moment Mu Ying arrived, his heart should have been filled with unhappiness. Mo Wuji decided to keep an eye on Mu Ying; the moment she left, he would follow her. However, he would also not give up on this opportunity to exchange spiritual herbs. It was only in these large conventions when he could obtain the exceptional and rare spiritual herbs. He needed a lot of these exceptional spiritual herbs, such as a 100,000 year old pine tree vein, Fire Essence Stones of higher purity, 10,000 year old Lingzhi and Dark Yellow Ginseng, and 1000 year old Longyan Grass... [3] In reality, Mo Wuji knew that were limits to what he could obtain. For spiritual herbs exceeding 10,000 years in age, many of them would be approaching Tier 4. Luckily, the Dark Yellow Ginseng and Lingzhi were rather common things. Even though they were 10,000 years old, they should still be Tier 3 spiritual herbs. On the other hand, for the 100,000 year old pine tree vein, even though it was considered a Tier 4 spiritual herb, it should not be overly expensive. The reason why he wanted these spiritual herbs was due to this premonition he felt: his new channel opening solution might not be able to help him open all 99 meridians. If such a day were to suddenly happen, he would need to upgrade the ingredients of his solution. By then, he might not have as good an opportunity to obtain these spiritual herbs. Just as Mo Wuji was writing down the herbs he wanted, and was about to write Treasured Blood Lotus, he caught a glimpse of the herbs Mu Ying wanted. Among her list, was also the 100,000 year old pine tree vein and the Treasured Blood Lotus. The only difference was that she also wanted the 100,000 year old pine pulse. "Senior apprentice sister Mu, I have a 100,000 year old pine pulse here. Please take a look." A young pill refiner brought and jade box in front of Mu Ying and presented it to her. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. A person''s reputation is truly a treasure. Whatever Mu Ying wants is delivered to her. He didn''t even negotiate with her for the price. "Many thanks," Mu Ying smiled and casually opened the jade box. Mo Wuji hurried to take a few steps forward to take a closer look. Within the jade box, there were some pale yellow rhizomes, which even emanated a gentle and clear fragrance. Mo Wuji just needed a single look to know that it was far more valuable than the pine tree vein he wanted. At this moment, an idea sprouted in Mo Wuji''s mind. This pine pulse grossly surpassed the pine tree vein he wanted, it was definitely more suitable for his channel opening solution. He had to get his hands on that. "This is a well maintained pine pulse. Even among Tier 4 spiritual herbs, it¡¯s rare. It''s extremely suitable for me. Come, state your price," Mu Ying¡¯s eyes also flashed a hint of pleasant surprise, and she immediately closed the jade box. [1] Alchemist is used to broadly describe drug refiners and pill refiners [2] The illustrious Sun Wukong is one such creature born from rock. [3] These are the ingredients for his channel opening solution, just older. Chapter 119: Immediate Reversal Chapter 119: Immediate Reversal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After seeing Mu Ying¡¯s appeal, Mo Wuji did not continue to write out the Treasured Blood Lotus. Now that Mu Ying was interested in the only thing he had on his hands, he would simply find Mu Ying to exchange afterwards. "Pill Master Mo¡­" At this moment, a surprised voice sounded beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. Mo Wuji turned his head around to see Yan Qianyin walking over. Beside Yan Qianyin was Pill Master Ju whom he did not wish to see. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, I was so worried for you. I am finally relieved to be able to see you here," Yan Qianyin said with a lot of agitation. Mo Wuji laughed, "Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan. My luck seemed to be not bad as I managed to escape death once." Yan Qianyin said apologetically, "I am sorry, junior apprentice brother Mo, for being the reason you ended up in danger." Mo Wuji did knew that Yan Qianyin could not be blamed for this matter. This was because she did not know that he killed Meng Baoyu and hence, caught off guard by the Second Elder. "Senior apprentice sister Yan, you can¡¯t be blamed for this matter. Moreover, everything is over already," Mo Wuji shook his hand as he said this. "Humph! A person of bad character like you will end in the hands of Elder Xu eventually," Pill Master Ju saw Mo Wuji and was feeling extremely unpleased. Mo Wuji frowned and ask, "Senior apprentice sister? Who is this fella?" Yan Qianyin gave a slight smile and replied as if she did not realised Mo Wuji already recognise Pill Master Ju, "This is Formless Blade Sect¡¯s Pill Master Ju Feiyang, a Peak Tier 3 pill refiner." Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "From the way he speaks, I still thought he was a Heavenly pill refiner or one of the pill lord from one of the five big empires. In other words, which root of spring onion are you?" At the Formless Blade Sect, Mo Wuji had already nursed enough grievance. Furthermore, they were no longer at the Formless Blade Sect. Ju Feiyang¡¯s face turned so ugly that he had to control his tone and calmed himself down when he realised where they were currently at, "Indeed, I am neither a Heavenly pill refiner nor any spring onion. However, I, Ju Feiyang, will never murder a brother from the same sect¡­" The argument between Mo Wuji and Ju Feiyang from the start had already attracted people¡¯s attention. Now that Ju Feiyang mentioned about killing your own sect¡¯s brother, it drew almost every onlookers¡¯ attention. Even Mu Ying, who only just collected his Pine Pulse revealed an expression of disgust. Killing people from the same sect, how bad a character must you have? Yan Qianyin wished to help Mo Wuji refute but had no idea how to help him. She guessed that Mo Wuji really did kill Meng Boyu but given her understanding of Mo Wuji, she knew that he must have had his reasons for doing so. Mo Wuji used his eyes to sweep across Ju Feiyang coldly. You are still not on par to debate with me. You have no idea how many forums and world genius expert medical debates I have attended in my previous life so why would I be scared of a lowly Ju Feiyang who only knew how to concoct pills? I am not afraid of competing with you in terms of concocting pills and even more so debating. At the same time, he knew he had to change Mu Ying¡¯s impression of him in the shortest possible time. Other people could feel disgusted with him for all he care but not Mu Ying. "Fellow pill refiners, before I explain myself, let me tell everyone a story. There was a highly respected mister and he accepted several disciples. There was a disciple called Yan and because this disciple did not like to talk or socialise, the other disciples did not like him." Because Mo Wuji started by wanting to say a story for everyone therefore, the entire hall quietened down. Mo Wuji¡¯s deep voice in this quiet hall made him sound even more convincing. "Famine hit everyone hard this year therefore, this mister and his disciples had to survive on congee every single day. To show their respect, the disciples will always offer the thickest portion of the porridge to the mister. One day as per usual, Yan served a bowl of congee to the mister. However, some dirt landed on the congee on his way to the mister. Yan used a ladle to remove the congee with the dirt on it and felt that it would be a waste to throw it away therefore putting this spoonful of congee into his mouth. This whole process was witnessed very clearly by the mister as well as another disciple of his. The only difference was that the disciple did not witness the part where the dirt landed on the congee. He went to tell the mister that Yan secretly ate some of his congee. All the disciples despised Yan which made the mister sighed and thought to himself: sometimes what you see may not be the full story. My friends, if what you see with your own eyes may not even be true, how true could words from one person be?" Mu Ying slightly pondered a little before apologising to Mo Wuji, "Previously, I jumped into conclusions way too quickly and felt disgusted with you without actually judge the situation rationally." Mo Wuji hurried to say, "Senior apprentice sister Mu cannot be blamed for this. Anyone who heard about someone killing a brother from the same sect would have felt the same way." Ju Feiyang¡¯s face turned gloomy as he did not expect Mo Wuji to be able to simply use a story to turn the tides in his favour even before he started debating. "Since this was the case, I guess Pill Master Mo did not murder his fellow sect colleague," Mu Ying hurried to add on. Mo Wuji scanned the surrounding before saying, "Fellow pill refiners, I was previously a guest pill refiner from the Formless Blade Sect. Before leaving the Formless Blade Sect, I did murder a Tier 2 pill refiner of the sect. His name was Meng Boyu." The entire square quietened down as all the pill refiners listened to Mo Wuji expecting him to refute the fact that he killed a sect colleague. However, nobody expected him to admit his act and it seemed as though Pill Master Ju did not accuse him." Because of the story Mo Wuji told everyone, nobody stood up to question him. All the pill refiners knew that there was still a second part of the story. Mo Wuji continued, "I managed to become a Tier 2 pill refiner due to many fortunate events and was therefore, invited to become a guest pill refiner at the Formless Blade Sect. I was staying by the Blood Lotus Lake and then moved to the Lotus Sword Summit. As the spiritual energy were lacking at both places, nobody wanted to compete with me for the location. The majority of the pill refiners nodded their head as they agreed with how the story was flowing. From what they heard, they believed that a Tier 2 pill refiner especially a guest pill refiner would indeed not be allocated too good a place to stay. "A few months ago, I had a steward who managed to dig up a Treasured Blood Lotus from the Blood Lotus Lake¡­" Mo Wuji attracted everybody¡¯s attention back again with this sentence. Mu Ying¡¯s eyes lit up as she stared at Mo Wuji. The number of Treasured Blood Lotus were getting lesser by the year and even if there was a few, it would usually be defective as well. Now that she needed a Treasured Blood Lotus, she would obviously pay her fullest attention to Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Even Yan Qianyin was staring at Mo Wuji intensely. She did not expect that the root cause of this story was a Treasured Blood Lotus. "At this moment, Meng Boyu arrived at the Blood Lotus Lake and naturally saw the Treasured Blood Lotus. He was envious and wanted to snatch it away. My steward was obviously not willing to let go of the Treasured Blood Lotus and ended up being badly wounded by Meng Boyu. I reached in the nick of time just as Meng Boyu was about to kill him. Attempting to steal my things, murder my man and even murder me in my territory. Fellow pill refiners, what would you have done if you were in my place?" "If I were you, I would have smashed his head into pieces," Just as Mo Wuji ended his sentence, Zhen Shaoru said in his roughest voice. This fella was looking all around for Mo Wuji after he finished eating his spirit fruits. "Pill Master Mo, do you know where is the Treasured Blood Lotus now?" At this juncture in time, nobody cared about Meng Boyu or how loud Zhen Shaoru was. Everyone only wanted to know where the Treasured Blood Lotus was now. With so many people asking, Mu Ying hurried to inquire about it as well, "Pill Master Mo, is the Treasured Blood Lotus still around?" Mo Wuji sighed in his heart and thought to himself: Indeed, nothing else matters other than the Treasured Blood Lotus. "Mo Wuji, don¡¯t you think a service disciple like you can say anything you want now that Meng Boyu is dead?" Ju Feiyang was raging as he saw Mo Wuji controlling the the whole crowd and could even possessed the Treasured Blood Lotus. If he knew that Mo Wuji found a Treasured Blood Lotus at the Blood Lotus Lake, Ju Feiyang would never have let Mo Wuji go even if Yan Qianyin intervened. To be able to find a Treasured Blood Lotus, it was an opportunity that came by only once a few hundred years. However, it was all too late now that Mo Wuji got away with the Treasured Blood Lotus. "Pill Master Ju, even if you have something against Pill Master Mo, you should not be calling him a service disciple," an unpleasant pill refiner from the crowd shouted. Ju Feiyang replied coldly, "He was recruited as a service disciple from the start at the Formless Blade Sect. It was only because he got lucky that he could end up becoming a pill refiner." Mu Ying hurried to ask, "Pill Master Mo, your name is Mo Wuji. I wonder if you are related to the drug refiner Mo who developed the Mo Drug?" Mo Wuji replied, "Thank you senior apprentice Mu for the flattery compliments. I am indeed the drug refiner who publicly released the penicillin formula. I originated from a royal family but my family was destroyed when the throne was overturned and the king was assassinated. As for my pill Dao, I inherited my pill Dao from my ancestors too." At where they were, Mo Wuji did not need to hold back in the things he said as even if Situ Qian was right in front of him, he would still dare to say this. Zhen Shaoru shouted in an instant, "There are people snatching a small throne? Which birdman is it? Tell me and I will knock down his eggs. How about the monarch of that country? Was he an idiot?" A monarch of a country would definitely not mean much in Zhen Shaoru¡¯s eyes. Nobody bothered about the words of Zhen Shaoru because of the compliments Mu Ying gave Mo Wuji. Now that everyone knew that Mo Wuji was the one who gave out the formula of such an incredible drugs, their impression of Mo Wuji improved tremendously. "So you are drug refiner Mo, Mu Ying want to thank you on behalf of the numerous mortals who benefited from your contribution," Mu Ying bowed slightly after finishing her sentence. Mo Wuji hurried to reject her bow and then took out a box of Treasured Blood Lotus, "Senior apprentice sister Mu, I do not have much spiritual stones with me therefore, I would like to use the Treasured Blood Lotus to exchange for a few spiritual herbs. However, I do not know the value of the Treasured Blood Lotus hence, I was not sure if I could exchange for a¡­" Mu Ying grabbed the jade box that Mo Wuji passed over and opened it in an instant. A crystal-like ruby coloured Treasure Blood Lotus lied inside the jade box, emitting a faint fragrance. Every pill refiner sighed out loud as they witnessed this. Mu Ying saw the Treasured Blood Lotus and immediately said, "This is almost a hundred years old Treasured Blood Lotus and it is worth a lot. I had not seen such an old Treasured Blood Lotus for many years already. The only pity was that there was no longer the lotus root which would decrease the value of the Treasured Blood Lotus tremendously." Mo Wuji regretted immediately after he heard what Mu Ying said. He did not regret the fact that he extracted the root but he regretted the fact that he made one big mistake. He thought that the Treasured Blood Lotus which Fei Bingzhu nurtured would be worth the same as the one he was holding in his hands. However, after hearing Mu Ying, he realised that the number of years old a Treasured Blood Lotus made a difference too. The pity was that he used up almost all of the older Treasured Blood Lotus already. Chapter 120: Five Elements Pill Competition Begins Chapter 120: Five Elements Pill Competition Begins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "There are five 100,000 Years Old Pine Pulse which I will buy later. I will give three of them to you. I will then give you another three more 1000 years Longyan Grass to exchange for your Treasured Blood Lotus, what do you think?" Even though Mo Wuji knew that the Treasured Blood Lotus was worth quite a bit, it was still only a Tier 3 spiritual herb. Whether it was the 100000 years Pine Pulse or the 1000 years Longyan Grass, these were still Tier 4 spiritual herbs. To exchange all of these for his one Treasured Blood Lotus, he definitely gained a lot out of this deal. Mu Ying must have offered this because of her relationship and impression of him. "Thank you senior Mu, I am more than willing to exchange," Mo Wuji said without any hesitation. "Great, that was straightforward," Mu Ying nodded her head with a lot of satisfaction. She used the two Tier 4 spiritual herbs to exchange for the Pine Pulse very quickly and then gave the three Pine Pulse and 3 Longyan Grass to exchange with Mo Wuji. After the exchange with Mo Wuji was completed, Mu Ying asked, "Pill Master Mo, I have a lot of admiration for you after your contribution of the Mo¡¯s drug. How did you actually become a Tier 2 pill refiner when you started off as a service disciple?" From the start, Mo Wuji wanted to be on good terms with Mu Ying. When Mu Ying asked this, Mo Wuji naturally did not hide anything, "Senior Mu, the main reason why I could become a Tier 2 pill refiner is because of senior apprentice sister Yan¡¯s help. Senior apprentice sister Yan taught me a lot of things which gave me the opportunity to become a Tier 2 pill refiner." "So it was because of senior apprentice sister Yan¡¯s guidance? Senior apprentice sister Yan, why didn¡¯t you tell me that you knew Pill Master Mo?" Mu Ying was looked as though she was very close with Yan Qianyin as she turned around immediately to ask her. "It was because junior apprentice brother Mo¡¯s understanding of pills were already decent when I met him. All I did was to give him some small pointers," Yan Qianyin gave a slight smile as she knew she had no credits to claim for Mo Wuji¡¯s success in becoming a pill refiner. However, she did not say it out because she guessed that Mo Wuji did not want others to know about how talented he was in this area. Finishing, Yan Qianyin continued to ask Mo Wuji, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, are you going to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition too?" Mo Wuji gave a smile with gratitude, "Yes senior apprentice sister Yan. I only just managed to advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner and I¡¯m here to try my luck." "Ah, you are already a Tier 3 pill refiner?" Yan Qianyin exclaimed as she predicted that Mo Wuji could never advance beyond Tier 2. However, in a blink of an eye, he is a Tier 3 pill refiner already. Could it be that she misjudged him? She suddenly thought of the Formless Blade Sect head Gu Ran and wondered if he would have regrets if he knew Mo Wuji had advanced to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. Mo Wuji laughed out loud, "I was just lucky. Inspiration came and I suddenly became a Tier 3 pill refiner." Mu Ying¡¯s face turned stern as she said, "Junior Mo, I do believe that there is no such thing as luck in concocting pills. I believe that Pill Master Mo must have had a very impressive understanding towards pill refinement therefore being able to advance to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. This would explain your development of the Mo¡¯s Drug too. Pill Master Mo, I will be waiting for you at the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. I trust that with your talent, you will definitely be able to step into the Heaven Seeking Palace and enter the pill pagoda." Mo Wuji said in his heart: even if I wanted to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace, I will not go to the pill pagoda. Pill refinement was only his side career. What he wanted to be was not a Heavenly pill refiner but to pursue the greatest cultivation realm. "Thank you senior apprentice sister Mu for your auspicious words. Actually, I have some personal matters to discuss with you in private and I wonder if you are able to spare me some time?" Mo Wuji made use of this opportunity to ask. Mu Ying shook her hand and the things in front of her disappeared without a trace. She then smiled at Mo Wuji and said, "I was planning to leave but if Pill Master Mo has something to talk to me about then please go ahead." Mo Wuji was very envious of people who could do such things and thought to himself: This woman does things very cleanly. Mo Wuji hurried to bid goodbye to Yan Qianyin and then told Zhen Shaoru to head back on his own first before leaving the pill refiners interactions¡¯ hall together with Mu Ying. Finding Granny Ling Long was crucial to him therefore, he would not let a lunatic like Zhen Shaoru spoil it. ... At Mu Ying¡¯s residence, Mo Wuji told Mu Ying about his hope of meeting Granny Ling Long. "You hope to plead Granny Ling Long to help you save your friend?" Mu Ying frowned as she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s wish. "Yes, it is because no one else other than Granny Ling Long can save Yan¡¯Er," Mo Wuji looked hopefully at Mu Ying after cupping one fist in the other hand as a sign of respect. Mu Ying let out a sigh and said, "It is not that I refuse to help you. The fact is that my grandmaster and Granny Ling Long had some disagreements before and that if I were to bring you to meet her, it would most likely result in a counterproductive outcome¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart went cold for about half a second as he heard this. "Furthermore, even if I managed to help you meet Granny Ling Long, she might not even extend her helping hand. If you can find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, even without my help, you would definitely be able to meet Granny Ling Long," Mu Ying explained. Mo Wuji cupped his fist once again and said, "If this is the case, I shall not disturb senior Mu anymore. I shall take my leave." Mu Ying could not bear but still told Mo Wuji, "You have quite a close relationship with the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House. When the time comes, you could ask him for a placing to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. In the Five Elements Desolate Domain, you could even find a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal if you¡¯re fortunate. The placings that were awarded to me all belonged to the Heaven Seeking Palace therefore, I am unable to promise you a placing." It was very obvious that Mu Ying did not expect Mo Wuji to be able to do well enough in the competition to be awarded placings too. "Alright, I got it," Mo Wuji gave a bitter smile and then bid his goodbye. Ask Nine Moons Pill House young master for a placing to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain? I wonder how Mu Ying would react if she knew that the two brothers Zhen Shaoke and Zhen Shaoru were both waiting for his placings to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain? Despite not meeting Granny Ling Long before, he had a rough idea of the type of person she was through the numerous descriptions of her. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that she was an extremely eccentric old lady who seldom socialise and needed a direct benefit to her for her to help. It seemed like even if he was awarded the placing in the competition, he would not have the chance to meet Granny Ling Long. The only way was to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain and retrieved the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal that she wanted. Mo Wuji clenched his fist tightly as he knew he had to win placings in this competition to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. The competition was only about half a month away therefore, he shut himself in to cultivate the moment Mo Wuji returned to his residence at Nine Moons Pill House. He constantly concised his spiritual will power and used both the spiritual stones and Energy Gathering Pill concurrently to upgrade his cultivation level. To him, cultivation did not require the use of any pills. In order to be able to concoct a Tier 4 Earth pill as soon as possible, he had no choice but to increase both his cultivation level as well as the power of his spiritual will. Knowing that Mo Wuji was cultivating, Zhen Shaoke did not bother him at all. Even Zhen Shaoke was restrained by Zhen Shaoru to not disturb Mo Wuji. ... Half a month passed by very quickly and in only half a month, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will power improved by a lot. Mo Wuji believed that he could advance past Channel Opening Stage Level 7 in no time. Just as he was about to advance into Channel Opening Stage Level 8, Zhen Shaoke knocked on his door. Mo Wuji looked at the many pieces of spirit stones on the floor with disappointment as he lamented how close he was. He needed only a few more days and he could have successfully advance into Channel Opening Stage Level 8. Zhen Shaoke knocked on the door because the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition was about to begin and had no other choice but to find Mo Wuji. Indeed, as Mo Wuji opened his door, he saw an apologetic Zhen Shaoke saying, "Wuji, the pill competition is about to begin. I had to interrupt your closed door training." "No worries, I shall clean up first," Mo Wuji shook his hand as he answered. ... Half an hour later, a fresh Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoke arrived at the heart of the square. The square was filled with a lot of people early in the morning. There was a humongous round altar in the centre of the square and in front of it, there was close to a thousand empty seats and in front of every seat, there was a pill furnace. The most eye-catching words on the humongous round altar were "Heaven Seeking Palace". Around the Heaven Seeking Palace were the the individual big sects. Mo Wuji saw Heavenly Temple, Jade Net Sect and Distant Fire Sect but not the Formless Blade Sect and the Nine Moons Pill House. It seemed as if only the quasi-sky level sects would make it on the round altar. Even though there were many people on the square, it was not messy or noisy. Most people were just standing there quietly or engaging in small discussions. A long bearded man wearing a caramel coloured robe walked down from the empty sky and landed on the centre of the square¡¯s round altar. "This person is so incredible," Mo Wuji was so impressed as this was the first time he witnessed someone walking down from an empty sky. Zhen Shaoke was standing beside Mo Wuji as he introduced, "This is the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s True God expert, the second dean, senior Feng Zhenqiu." Feng Zhenqu stood on the round altar and cupped his fist to all four directions, "Fellow friends and pill refiners, the Five Elements Pill Competition had became the five big empires first competition together and this is not just because this is a pill refiners competition of the highest level. It is also because this affects who gets to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. The five empires have been called by others as the Lost Continent not without any valid reasoning. This is because even though we have quite a lot of cultivators and geniuses, we have very little cultivators who can advance into the Heaven Realm¡¯s Three Great Heavens¡­" Up to here, Feng Zhenqiu paused on purpose. When Feng Zhenqiu first arrived, it was already very quiet but it was close to pindrop silent now. After the pause, Feng Zhenqiu continued, "The five big empires cover such vast land and countless of geniuses so why is it so hard to produce a heaven realm cultivator? Is it because our geniuses are all pseudo-geniuses? I can tell you now that the answer is a definite no. This is because the Lost Continent lacked a Heaven-Earth regulation and the lack of this regulation not only prevent the Tier 7 spiritual herbs from growing, it also blocks us from realising the profound mystery of the Heaven Realm¡¯s Three Great Heavens" There were finally some discussions on the square but it was not loud. This was apparently not their first time hearing this. "Now that the Five Element Desolate Domain is finally being opened, there are a great number of Tier 7 and above spiritual herbs as well as numerous Flower of the True God. To prevent everyone from killing each other and then going in to destroy all sorts of precious spiritual herbs, we decided to hold this pill competition once every few years to decide who gets to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. This would be our third Five Elements Pill Competition. I hereby announce the start of the pill competition and I hope that every pill refiner will be able to produce great results¡­" Feng Zhenqiu retreated the moment he said his piece. Chapter 121: The Difficult First Round Chapter 121: The Difficult First Round Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: After Feng Zhenqiu left, a middle-aged woman walked to the middle of the round altar, bowed towards the four directions and said, "I''m Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda''s Ming Ning. I am the chief presider over this Five Elements Pill Competition. Dean Feng was right, there are very few in our five empires who can step into the Heaven Realm''s Three Great Heavens. As the saying goes: Heaven never seals off all exits. The Five Elements Desolate Domain is this way out for the people of our five empires, and the opportunity to enter it will be decided in this competition. In this competition, there will be five Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiners, including myself, as the judges. I believe that as long as you can achieve good results, you will be able to obtain a good placing. The first round will be an elimination round. May all participants use the jade tokens to guide you to your pill furnace." "Wuji, it doesn''t matter whether you win or lose. Just let loose and don''t get too worried. We can always come again during the next competition. Previously, we only managed to get 97th place. So it won''t be too much of a drop if we don''t get anything this time around," Zhen Shaoke said to Mo Wuji encouragingly. Mo Wuji nodded, "Mr Zhen can be rest assured. Regardless, I will put in my best effort in this competition. Even if Zhen Shaoke could come again in the future, it might not mean the same for him. On the other hand, the fact of Nine Moons Pill House obtaining the 97th place in the previous competition didn''t really come as a surprise to Mo Wuji. How many big sects and powers were there within the five empires? In truth, Nine Moons Pill House really didn''t count for much. Being able to enter the top hundred was already a pretty good result. Holding the Nine Moons Pill House jade token, Mo Wuji was brought to a pill furnace near the side. Even though the intervals between the pill furnaces were big, the pill furnaces near the sides were still relatively squeezed. After waiting for the participants to settle in place, Pill Master Ming Ning announced loudly, "Due to the relatively large number of contestants, and to have a more convincing test of ability, our first round will be on purification. It will be graded upon 100 points, and the first 300¡­" Hearing that it was about purification, Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart. This was a topic which he had no worries about. He was confident that he would not be worse than typical Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiners even when it came to Tier 4 spiritual herbs. "The ingredient we¡¯ll be purifying is the Tier 4 Iron Core Bodhi Fruit. Everyone will be entitled one fruit and a red firestone. You can find them in the pill furnaces. May all participants now place the jade tokens into the side of the pill furnace to open it. The competition will now begin¡­" Hearing Pill Master Ming Ning announce the start of the competition, almost all of the pill refiners immediately placed the jade token into the sides of the pill furnace and retrieved the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit and red firestone. However, Mo Wuji stood by in a daze, and did not immediately retrieve his items. The initial joy he had when he heard about the purification topic had long disappeared. The Iron Core Bodhi Fruit was one of the hardest spiritual herbs to purify among Tier 4 spiritual herbs. This fruit had a tough exterior; it would be difficult to extract the essences even with earth fire, much less the lowest grade red firestone? It could be said that this round was the most difficult for him, as his cultivation was the lowest among all the pill refiners. To purify this tough spirit fruit, a higher cultivation would naturally make it easier. A low grade firestone could be made up with by using elemental energy and hand techniques. The lower the grade of the firestone, the higher the elemental energy needed. Now, he was using the lowest grade red firestone. What could he do? Zhen Shaoke¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Wuji. Seeing the others starting while Mo Wuji stood unmoving, he could not help but sigh in his heart. As the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House, how could he not know the difficulty Mo Wuji was currently facing? He had already calculated his odds, but he did not expect that the first round of the competition to have an emphasis of cultivation level. With Mo Wuji¡¯s Channel Opening Stage cultivation, purifying the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit was already not a simple thing, much less emerge in the top 300 among these thousands of pill refiners. The reason he chose Mo Wuji was because Mo Wuji¡¯s pills seemed to transcend grades. According to his experience with previous competitions, the final round would definitely be a pill concoction round. It was not impossible to enter the top 100 with a supreme grade Tier 3 Mortal Pill. In the previous competition, there was exactly a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner who trumped over a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner because of the grade of his pill. But looking at the current predicament, Mo Wuji could very well be eliminated in the very first round. After being at a loss for a full minute, Mo Wuji finally placed the jade token into the side of the pill furnace and opened it. Despite the difficulty, he was not going to be eliminated in the very first round. After opening the pill furnace, he could see a fire red firestone, as well as a fist-sized black fruit. Besides those items, there was also a jade vase. There was a number of the jade vase which corresponded to the number on his jade token. It looked like this number was only imprinted after the jade token had been inserted into the pill furnace. Mo Wuji placed the jade vase to the side before igniting the red firestone. Since he had already started, there was no time to be doubtful and be filled with hesitation. The fire beneath the furnace raged; Mo Wuji slapped the exterior of the pill furnace consecutively. With these simplest of hand techniques, he cleaned the pill furnace. Resolutely, Mo Wuji inserted the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit into the pill furnace. Mo Wuji continuously activated the fire below the furnace but the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit continued to melt slowly. After ten more minutes, the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit only melted by half. By this moment, Mo Wuji could already smell the aroma of the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit essence. Mo Wuji was clear that this smell wasn''t from his pill furnace, but the fruits from others¡¯ Iron Core Bodhi Fruit. This meant that others have already started purifying the medicinal essences while he had yet to melt his fruit. It can''t carry on like this. Mo Wuji took a deep breath. Others could afford to lose this round, but he definitely couldn''t. Mo Wuji carefully inserted his hand into the pill furnace and immediately activated his hand techniques. In reality, he had concealed pill techniques within the hand techniques, and was using the pill techniques to start purifying. In Mo Wuji''s initial plan, he did not intend to use his pill techniques from the on go. He was prepared to only his his pill techniques during the essence fusion or pill condensation stage. As for purification, it should have been simple enough to do without pill techniques. However, the competition had just started but he already had no choice but to reveal his killing ace. This made him extremely helpless; who asked his cultivation to be so low? Among these 1000 pill refiners, he might be the only one still in the Channel Opening Stage. The pill techniques landed on the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit, the original slow rate of melting sped up. However, the speed was still not fast. After all, the firestone used was a mere red firestone. This is not good. This might be able to extract the essence of the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit but it won''t get me in the top 300. As Mo Wuji thought of this, he gritted his teeth and directly used his hands to stir the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit. On the surface, he looked like he was stirring, but he was actually increasing the effectiveness of his pill techniques through direct contact. He had no other choice. Who asked his cultivation to be low, and his spiritual will was also not strong enough to sustain for a long time. Luckily, this round was only the purification of the spiritual herbs. If it also included the fusion of the medicinal essences, he could only stare as others trump over him. It felt like he was holding the firestone itself, and Mo Wuji''s skin was instantly charred. Mo Wuji would not have cared if this was lightning, but this searing heat caused Mo Wuji to groan aloud. Even so, Mo Wuji did not dare release his hand. If he did, he might not have a second chance. Seeing the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit melting faster, he was reminded of the previous derision he had towards Shi Jun. Previously, he ridiculed Shi Jun¡¯s pill concoction as stir frying vegetables, but wasn¡¯t he doing the same thing now? At least Shi Jun used a spatula, Mo Wuji was directly using his hands to stir fry. Mo Wuji suddenly had a form of revelation. Regardless of the time, or the place, he should not look down on other people. It¡¯s not because this person might be stronger than you, but because you might end up being like him. A whole half an hour passed, and Mo Wuji truly could not endure the pain any further as he withdrew his hand from the furnace. Within the pill furnace, the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit had already fully melted, and Mo Wuji had already used his stir fry method to purify a good half of the medicinal essences. As he had over-utilised his spiritual will, Mo Wuji felt a little groggy. However, he did not dare stop, nor take a break to consume a pill. He was afraid that it might not be within the rules, and everything he did would have gone to waste. He did not partake in this competition to attain glory, but to save Yan¡¯Er. Thus, he could not make a single mistake. Mo Wuji had already completely ignored the burning pain he felt on his hand. Now, he was concentrating all his efforts on the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit in the pill furnace. With his painstaking effort, the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit started to emanate a faint medicinal fragrance. Mo Wuji did not dare to be careless, and he continued to concentrate all his efforts. He did this to the very end when he started to separate the dregs. He expended all the spiritual energy in his body and used his pill techniques to expel the herb dregs. "Pata!" A trail of herb dregs was sent out of the pill furnace. At the same time, the essences within the pill furnace was also extracted and sent into the jade vase. If things were as they were usually, Mo Wuji would have definitely purified the essences for a second time. However, he really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Even if he tried to forcefully purify the essences, he might waste all his previous efforts and turn the essences to dust. "Yu!" After sealing the jade vase, Mo Wuji exhaled strongly. As he lifted his head to face the surroundings, he discovered that he was among the last to complete. At this time, the fiery hot sensation pervaded again. Mo Wuji took a look at his right hand; it was already a whole patch of black, as though it wasn¡¯t a part of him. Even though the purification was complete, Mo Wuji did not dare consume any healing pills until his jade vase was collected. This competition was too important to make any mistakes. Chapter 122: Things Aren’t Permanent Chapter 122: Things Aren¡¯t Permanent Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Dang!" A little after Mo Wuji finished his purification, a gong sounded. This gong seemed to sound right into Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, causing Mo Wuji¡¯s brain to hum. At this moment, Mo Wuji could smell charred odours. Due to this gong, the few pill refiners who had not completed their purification immediately failed. Mo Wuji secretly celebrated; luckily, he managed to finish his purification in time; luckily, he did not try a second round of purification. If not, he would have met his dead end. This Five Elements Pill Competition really did not care about the feelings and face of the pill refiners, using such a crude manner to stop the remaining pill refiners. Once again, Ming Ning walked to the round altar and announced in a clear voice, "Time is up. May all pill refiners cover their pill furnaces and place the jade vase on top of the pill furnace." She did not even bother asking the pill refiners to stop. The moment the gong sounded, any pill refiner who had yet to complete their purification would have immediately failed the purification process. Mo Wuji covered his pill furnace and slowly placed the jade vase on top of the pill furnace. He noticed that Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s gaze seemed to land on his right hand, but he did not put that to heart. The pill refiners by Mo Wuji¡¯s side could not help but snicker at him. This was the first time they met a pill refiner whose hand ended up like this due to purifying. Mo Wuji acted as though he did not notice these derisive gazes as he continued staring at his own jade vase. His jade vase was labelled: 632. After roughly two minutes, Mo Wuji felt a gentle wind blow, and the jade vase on top of his pill furnace disappeared. Thereafter, rows of jade vases appeared on the judging table atop the round altar. Behind the judging table, there were four people. Including Pill Master Ming Ning, there would exactly be five people. Now that it¡¯s finally ended, they can¡¯t stop me from taking a pill right? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji retrieved a healing pill and put it in his mouth. His hand was burnt black by the heat, and the Tier 3 pill he consumed was able to control the injury. In a few minutes, his injuries started to recover at a rapid pace. After collecting the jade vases, Pill Master Ming Ning also walked to the back of the judging table and sat down. The five judges started their evaluation as they opened the jade vases one by one. In less than an hour, the five managed to examine more than a thousand bottles. Among which, 300 were selected and placed by the side. Once again, Pill Master Ming Ning stood up and walked to the centre of the round altar. At this moment, all eyes were concentrated on her. Her next words would determine whether they would be able to qualify for the second round or not. Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s eyes swept across the thousand plus pill refiners, before she announced loudly, "After the first round of the pill competition, 300 people have been selected. Pill refiners whose numbers have been reported, please stay behind. On the other hand, pill refiners whose numbers weren¡¯t announced, please leave the testing grounds immediately." "18, 39, 176, 98, 244¡­" Every single time Pill Master Ming Ning announced a number, the competitors¡¯ hearts skipped a beat. They deeply desired for the next number to be theirs. Mo Wuji was the same; he also hoped for his own number to be called. As more pill refiners were called out, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart got heavier. After all, his cultivation was low, and he had to use that ¡®stir fry¡¯ method to purify the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit. At that time, he had already overdrafted his energy in the purification, and he was not fully confident on his purification quality. "34, 711¡­" Pill Master Ming Ning was still reporting, while Mo Wuji was trembling with his fists clenched tight. There were only a little more than 10 places left. "491, 56." Pill Master Ming Ning finally stopped announcing. Mo Wuji¡¯s fists were clenched so tight, that his skin started to tear. His right hand had yet to recover, and started to bleed profusely. He had not heard the number 632. As Mo Wuji was about to fall into an abyss of despair, he seemingly felt Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s eyes landing on him. Before he could react, Pill Master Ming Ning sounded out, "632, 21, 2, 80¡­" Mo Wuji did not manage to catch the numbers at the back; he only heard 632. He had succeeded! He had emerged within the top 300 and got past the first round. He was so ecstatic that he ignored the fact that Pill Master Ming Ning took a long pause before announcing his number. As Mo Wuji was about to recover his calmness from his excitement, he heard Pill Master Ming Ning saying, "... The pill refiners whose numbers have been called, please stay behind. The rest are to leave the testing grounds immediately. The pill refiners whose numbers did not get called could only retreat out of the testing grounds dejectedly with their head sunk low. By the side, Zhen Shaoke clenched his fist tightly and waved it. Mo Wuji had succeeded; Mo Wuji actually managed to emerge in the top 100. Only he was clear that it was extremely difficult for Mo Wuji. For a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner who was only at the Channel Opening Stage, to actually survive with the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit as the test, was truly a miracle. "Ai, isn¡¯t that person¡­" A lady among the crowd spotted Mo Wuji, and momentarily called out. Previously, among the thousand people, Mo Wuji was inconspicuous. After eliminating 800 to 900 people, with only 300 pill refiners left on the grounds, she immediately noticed Mo Wuji. "Wan¡¯Er, you know someone among the pill refiners?" There was an old man with a black beard by Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s side. When he heard Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s call of surprise, he immediately questioned her. One must know that a pill refiner who could get through the first round was definitely not a simple person. It might not be a bad thing for them if Wan¡¯Er actually recognised one of these pill refiners. One must not overestimate the Heavenly Temple just because it was the number one sect in Xinghan Empire, or that it was the guardian sect of the empire. In the grand scale of the Lost Continent, the Heavenly Temple was not truly outstanding. Moreover, pill concoction had never been the niche of the Heavenly Sect. It had many Earth Pill Refiners, but they were mostly old fogies who were above 100 years old. In terms of young pill refiners, the Heavenly Temple could not even compare to some Earth sects. Qu Wan¡¯Er nodded, "I do know someone. But, at that time he was a mere mortal. Due to his indomitable and unyielding character, I casually helped him out twice. However, that had happened more than half a year ago." Qu Wan¡¯Er truly did not expect to see Mo Wuji appear during this Five Elements Pill Competition, and to even get past the first round. She said that she had helped Mo Wuji twice. The first time was when Shao Feng wanted to kill Mo Wuji but Qin Zhenqiang and her intercepted him. The second time was back in Chang Luo, where she found an excuse to help Mo Wuji purchase his drug refining equipment. "You said he was a mortal?" The black bearded elder asked in shock. Qu Wan¡¯Er replied hesitantly, "He can¡¯t really be considered a mortal. He has spiritual roots, but of poor quality. Initially, I saw him kill two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles, and he really had to pit his life to do that. He should not have cultivated then." Previously when she questioned Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji did not tell her the truth about his mortal roots, but claimed that he had low grade spiritual roots. Thus, Qu Wan¡¯Er did not know that Mo Wuji was a true mortal with mortal roots. The black bearded elder nodded and spoke in a tone of instruction, "Wan¡¯Er, you¡¯re far too innocent. You think that a person who has never cultivated can actually kill two Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles just because he put his life on the line? Do you think a person who had never touched cultivation half a year ago could actually stand on this stage and even get past the first round?" "Master, you¡¯re saying?" Qu Wan¡¯Er looked at the black bearded elder disbelievingly. The black bearded elder said resolutely, "Not only did he cultivate before, he must have his secrets. It¡¯s precisely because of these secrets that he had to act like he¡¯s a mere mortal. However, which one of the world¡¯s experts doesn¡¯t have their own secrets?" Qu Wan¡¯Er looked at her master doubtfully; when she first saw Mo Wuji, he really did not look like he was acting. However, seeing the change in Mo Wuji, she did feel that her master¡¯s words sounded logical. "Wan¡¯Er, if that person is able to get in the top 100, do you think you can arrange a meeting?" The black bearded man said. "Master, you want me to ask him for a placing?" Qu Wan¡¯Er understood the meaning behind her master¡¯s words. The Heavenly Temple¡¯s Pill Dao had never been impressive. The number of exceptional, young pill refiners who could enter the top 100 could not meet the demand for placings. This was because the Heavenly Temple was a huge sect, with many internal divisions and peerless disciples. The number of people who actually wanted to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain far exceeded the actual number of placings they could win. It was not easy for Qu Wan¡¯Er to actually obtain a placing. The black bearded elder nodded, "If he can enter the top 100, even if we can¡¯t get a placing, there¡¯s no harm in forming relations with him. Such a young pill refiner would definitely have a bright future." Qu Wan¡¯Er pouted her lips but did not speak. She previously bought a simple herb from Mo Wuji for 100,000 gold coins because she appreciated his unyielding fighting spirit. At the same time, she also did it out of pity; she did not want to see someone she appreciated to be fallen due to 100,000 gold coins. Life went on her, and she had never thought about Mo Wuji after that incident. However, the situations seemed to have turned. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she even wished that Mo Wuji would not enter the top 100. Then, she didn¡¯t need to bow down and request anything from Mo Wuji. Even if she met Mo Wuji, she would only want to talk about the past, and not ask him for any sort of placing. This wasn¡¯t merely an issue of her pride. More importantly, she knew that it would be difficult for Mo Wuji to give her a placing even if he won. After all, Mo Wuji must have been representing a sect in this competition, and it wouldn¡¯t be up to him to decide who to allocate the placings to. ¡­ At this moment, the eliminated pill refiners had left the testing grounds. At the same time, Mo Wuji and Co. were brought to a different place to rest. The pill furnaces were brought out of the grounds, and in just a short period of time, 300 things which resembled flower bed were put in place. Pill Master Ming Ning stood up and said, "May all the participants now stand in front of your medicine bed." So this thing is called a medicine bed. Mo Wuji hurriedly walked to the medicine bed with 632 on it. After Ming Ning saw that the various pill refiners had stood in place, she announced, "Let the second round of the Five Elements Pill Competition begin¡­" Chapter 123: The Dumbfounding Second Round Chapter 123: The Dumbfounding Second Round Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji¡¯s hand had yet to fully recover. At this point, he was extremely worried that he needed to purify another difficult spiritual herb. Even though the possibility of that was low, but if it did happen, he would immediately be eliminated. The grounds were completely silent; there was only Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s voice, "...I believe that among those who wish to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, 90% of you are searching for the Flower of the True Gods. The Flower of the True Gods is a peerless treasure which can give a cultivator at the Nihility God Stage of the Earth Realm, to actually ascend into the Heaven Realm¡¯s True God Stage¡­" Hearing Pill Master Ming Ning touch upon the Flower of the True Gods, Mo Wuji immediately controlled his breathing and concentrated on listening. His understanding on the flower was shallow. On the scenario where he wasn¡¯t able to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, he could try to find the Flower of the True Gods and offer it to Granny Linglong. Maybe she might still choose to help him out. "...The Flower of the True Gods requires 100,000 years to mature. It could be said to be the spiritual herb with the longest maturation period. Perhaps some of you might question me: There are countless of spiritual herbs which are more than 100,000 years old. And some of these herbs are only in Tier 4 or Tier 5. So why is the Flower of the True Gods the herb with the longest maturation period?" Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s speech enraptured Mo Wuji. He truly did not know the answer to her question. Furthermore, he was just thinking about how the 100,000 year old pine pulse was a mere Tier 4 spiritual herb, what made the Flower of the True Gods so amazing? Pill Master Ming Ning continued, "This is because the Flower of the True Gods can only be used when it reaches 100,000 years old; a 99,999 year old Flower of the True Gods is completely useless, it¡¯s only as good as wild grass." Mo Wuji finally understood; in all the spiritual herbs he had interacted with, the age didn¡¯t affect whether the herb could be used or not. It only affected the grade of herb and the quality of its medicinal properties. However, this Flower of the True Gods was truly unique; if it was below 100,000 years old, it would be as effective as any ordinary flower. It¡¯s no wonder why Pill Master Ming Ning claimed that the Flower of the True Gods had the longest maturation period, it¡¯s also no wonder why the flower was so valuable. It simply could not be grown. After all, who would be able to live for 100,000 years? If a pig could live that long, then you could call it a true god too. "At the same time, there''s a characteristic of the Flower of the True Gods which many people do not know. Just like cultivators¡¯ spiritual roots, every single flower has its own elemental affinity, albeit the five elements, or the unique elements - Wind, Ice and Lightning. So for a cultivator at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage who wishes to ascend into the True God Stage, he can''t casually pick a random Flower of the True Gods. He needs to obtain a flower which matches his own spiritual roots¡¯ elemental affinity, then would he have the opportunity to ascend¡­" Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s speech was no longer confined to the topics of the competition, as she now extended to sharing this cultivation knowledge. As everyone was engrossed with her words, Pill Master Ming Ning''s tone suddenly changed, and she continued in a higher volume, "Today, our second round is to grow a Flower of the True Gods¡­" Astonished gasps could be heard; even Mo Wuji inhaled coldly. Grow a Flower of the True Gods? 100,000 years? Was Pill Master Ming Ning crazy? Even if she wasn''t looking for a fully matured flower, growing a flower is not something that can be done within one or two days ah... Pill Master Ming Ning used her hands to calm the rousing crowd, "Everyone, calm down. The Flower of the True Gods may require 100,000 years to mature, but it only needs a short time to germinate. Under a suitable condition, a Flower of the True God can sprout and flower in a single day. If we complement this with rich spiritual energy and human interference, the time required would be much shorter¡­" Hearing this, the crowd came to understand the situation. So it''s only a case which required one to two days, this was something acceptable. After all, cultivators would also take a few days every time they close their doors to cultivate. "During the first journey into the Five Elements Desolate Domain, someone found a batch of seeds of the Flower of the True Gods, which numbers in the hundreds. There are all the various affinities of seeds here. Each pill refiner will obtain a Flower of the True Gods seed, as well as a compatible elemental spirit stone and ten Xuan grade spirit stones. May all pill refiners pick the seeds and spirit stones you need and wait for the round to begin." Mo Wuji was not a total stranger to the idea of elemental spirit stones and Xuan grade spirit stones. Spirit stones can be classified as elemental and non-elemental spirit stones. Most of the time, people use non-elemental spirit stones on cultivation and trade. Elemental spirit stones can take the affinity of the five elements - Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth - or the unique elements - Wind, Ice and Lightning. Their value far exceed the non-elemental ones. Mo Wuji had also heard about the grading of spirit stones. The grades were: Huang, Xuan, Earth and Heaven. Some people would call Huang grade spirit stones as low grade spirit stones, and Xuan grade ones as intermediate grade spirit stones. Usually, the spirit stones used in transaction, unless specified, were non-elemental spirit stones. As Pill Master Ming Ning finished, ten service disciples carrying wooden trays walked down from the round altar. A service disciple brought a wooden tray in front Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji saw all kinds of crystal clear seeds, each seed was about the size of a broad bean. At the same time, he also saw energy rich spirit stones. When choosing a Flower of the True God seed, naturally, one must pick a seed with the same elemental affinity in order to speed up its growth. However, Mo Wuji was clear about one thing, he did not even have spiritual roots. If he didn''t have spiritual roots, how would he choose a seed? "Sir pill refiner, please choose a seed¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji stand unmoving, the service disciple got anxious and interjected Mo Wuji''s thoughts. "Sure, sure¡­" Mo Wuji forced himself to randomly pick a seed followed by ten Xuan grade spirit stones. This was the first time Mo Wuji saw Xuan grade spirit stones. Previously, he had only used low grade spirit stones, AKA Huang grade spirit stones. As he held the Xuan grade spirit stones in his hand, he could truly feel the spiritual energy density and purity. A low grade spirit stone truly could not compare to it. "Sir pill refiner, please pick an elemental spirit stone as well," the service disciple reminded. Mo Wuji''s gaze landed on the elemental spirit stones by the side; their colors were different from the usual white non-elemental spirit stones. There were all kinds of different colors; Fire affinity stones were red, wood affinity stones were green¡­ Just as Mo Wuji was wondering about the elemental affinity of the seed he picked, his eyes landed on a blue spirit stone. Within the spirit stone, there was even flashes of lightning. That''s a lightning spirit stone? Mo Wuji''s heart suddenly trembled. He immediately placed the seed he picked back into the wooden tray as he laughed to the service disciple, "I picked the wrong one." Without waiting for the service disciple¡¯s reaction, he immediately picked a seed which also contained traces of lightning. The Flower of the True Gods seeds were truly easy to identify, and the lightning affinity seed looked especially unique. After picking the seed up, Mo Wuji hurried to pick the lightning spirit stone before saying, "Many thanks, I have already chosen carefully." The service disciple looked at Mo Wuji speechlessly before moving on to the next pill refiner. In his wooden tray, there was only this one lightning spirit stone, and he was sure that no one would actually pick it. To think that someone would actually choose it. Did this fella actually want to fail? Even a service disciple life himself knew that the difficulty in growing Flowers of the True Gods with unique elemental affinity was more than several times higher than the usual five elements. Mo Wuji suspected his own senses as he felt Pill Master Ming Ning looking at him again. But when he turned towards her, it seemed like that wasn''t the case. It didn''t matter whether Pill Master Ming Ning was paying attention to him, Mo Wuji could not care that much. Mo Wuji never had spiritual roots, but he had been using lightning to open his meridians for a long time, and his spiritual energy actually contained traces of lightning within. Perhaps it was due to this small possibility that Mo Wuji chose the lightning affinity seed and spirit stone. After another half an hour, almost all the competitors had received their seeds. This was when Ming Ning continued, "All the pill refiners have picked their seeds, the round will now begin. The time given is 20 hours, and the round will also be graded upon 100. After this round, the scores from both the first and second round will be added, and the bottom 150 with the lowest scores will be eliminated." Following Pill Master Ming Ning''s announcement, almost all the pill refiners started arranging the soil within the medicine bed. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood the purpose of the medicine bed: it was actually to plant the seeds. The medicine bed was a square with sides of 1 meter. By the side, there was even a bucket of clear water. Even though Mo Wuji was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, he had never grown spiritual herbs before. The only plants he grew were his medicinal herbs back on Earth. To think that the first spiritual herb he would grow would actually be the Flower of the True Gods. This truly left him speechless. Mo Wuji glanced at his surroundings; some pill refiners crushed the spirit stones before infusing them into the soil. Thereafter, they planted the seed and started to water it. There were also refiners who placed the spirit stones in the water before watering the plants. There were even some who simply held both the spirit stones and the seed in direct contact within their hands, as though they were directly passing spiritual energy. Regardless, these pill refiners¡¯ actions were fluid and honed. Clearly, it wasn''t their first times growing a seed. Mo Wuji hesitated briefly before finally deciding to use his methods back on Earth. He dug a small hole within the soil, placed the seed within it, covered it up, then gave it some water. Pill Master Ming Ning, who had been concentrating on Mo Wuji, looked at his actions in shock. Ultimately, she could not help but laugh out loud. Was this fella growing the Flower of the True Gods like an ordinary bean sprout? "Puchi!" Qu Wan¡¯Er, who was always worried about how she was going to face Mo Wuji, could not help but laughed out loud too. Even though she wasn''t familiar with the Pill Dao, and didn''t know anything about about growing spiritual herbs, she did know that it definitely wasn''t what Mo Wuji was doing. He was simply treating it like a typical bean sprout seed. If he could actually win like this, they might as well get some farmers to compete in this competition. By her side, the black bearded elder shook his head; he did not know whether this Mo Wuji was still acting or he truly didn''t know how to grow spiritual herbs. Chapter 124: Life in Cultivation Chapter 124: Life in Cultivation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: No matter how silly Mo Wuji was, he would not just stop there. After he finished this, he started using the lightning spirit stone to flip the soil surrounding the seed. The truth was that Mo Wuji was circulating his elemental energy to stimulate the lightning spirit stones. Even if Mo Wuji did not know the purpose of doing so, he had no other ways to nurture or grow a spiritual herb. After about two hours, Mo Wuji stopped and took a look at the lightning spirit stones in his hand. Realising that the spirit stone was reduced to less than half its original size and with most of its spiritual energy gone, Mo Wuji looked at the soil on the medicine bed with doubt. The spiritual energy of the soil on the medicine bed did not increase by much, where did all the spiritual energy go? Very soon, Mo Wuji was able to get a good grasp on the situation. Could it be that the spiritual energy from the spirit stone was absorbed by the seed? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji used a normal spirit stone together with a lightning spirit stone and placed it within the soil. He started using his elemental energy to stimulate the spirit stone once again. Another four hours had passed and the lightning spirit stone in his hand gradually disappeared. Even the size of the normal spirit stone had been reduced by more than half. Similarly, Mo Wuji did not feel that the spiritual energy in the soil had increased significantly. This gave Mo Wuji a huge boost of confidence. After changing two spirit stones, Mo Wuji continued his way of stimulating the spiritual energy. After the spiritual energy of another two spirit stones were absorbed, Mo Wuji finally felt something slightly different. The elemental energy and spiritual energy that he stimulated seemed to be absorbed by a force coming from the soil before disappearing. This was a force Mo Wuji had not experienced before as if it felt like it contained an endless lease of life. Mo Wuji was so excited that both his hands were shaking. He was sure that this was the life force of the Flower of the True Gods. If he managed to feel the power of the Flower of the True Gods, this would signify that the Flower of the True Gods was about to germinate. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s focus was solely on nurturing the Flower of the True Gods as he closed his eyes to shut everything from his surroundings out. After the sixth spirit stone was exhausted of its spiritual energy, Mo Wuji heard what seemed like the world¡¯s most touching sound. "Kacha" a small green shoot broke out from the surface and a new life was born. Even though the sound was so soft that it could barely be heard by the others, Mo Wuji heard it very clearly. It was at this same instance that a brand new sensation penetrated Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body as if a rapid stream flushed open a shackle on his body. Majestic elemental energy flooded into his dantian and Mo Wuji hurried to open his eyes. Channel Opening Stage Level 8. His previous incomplete closed door training resulted in him not being able to advance into the next level but when the the shoot of the Flower of the True Gods appeared, he somehow advanced to the Channel Opening Stage Level 8. This was not end. At the moment when Mo Wuji advanced into Channel Opening Stage Level 8, something seemed to have broke out of its shell within his mind. Following this feeling, everything around Mo Wuji became crystal clear to him. As his hand trembled, he could not believe it as he saw the two leaves that he personally nurtured. When his cultivation base was broken into Channel Opening Stage Level 8, the power of his spiritual will entered a whole new level. While the power of his spiritual will was constantly rising previously, he never had this feeling of such a breakthrough before. Mo Wuji did not have any spiritual will cultivation technique or handbook so he would not know which stage he was in now. However, he was sure that if he was in stage 1 previously, he had to be in stage 2 now. The difference in nature of these two stages made Mo Wuji so excited that he was trembling a little. If he were to purify the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit, he was sure he need not use his hand to fry it anymore. If the power of his spiritual will was not enough then, it had to be enough now. "Thank you!" Mo Wuji murmured as he saw the two-leaved wrinkled shoot from the seed. His heart was fully filled with gratitude. He understood that there was life in cultivation too. If one was to treat cultivation like a pool of dead water, only adding water to it, then there will eventually be a limit. Because he had no master to guide him along, he knew very clearly that this principle had a great impact on him. After taking a deep breath, Mo Wuji carried a heart of gratitude to do his best with the spirit stones in his hand. The two-leaved wrinkled shoot took in the spiritual energy so quickly it started to extend itself. It was like a tender young girl maturing, slowly revealing her beautiful figure. Only at this moment, Mo Wuji could truly feel his improvement. With his previous cultivation base and spiritual will, the growth of the flower definitely wasn''t so fast; his speed had increased by more than ten folds. Mo Wuji was fully focused on this shoot of the Flower of the True Gods. He was confident that in half an hour¡¯s time, the growth of this Flower of the True Gods would multiply and blossom into a real flower. "Dang!" A loud and clear sound of a gong interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s entire spirit and he became clear-headed again. Time was up and Mo Wuji felt a quiver in his body. He immediately looked around at the flower beds of the other pill refiners. It was as if a bowl of cold water was poured all over his body, causing him to feel indescribably lost and disappointed. The shoot of the Flower of the True Gods right in front of him was at most 10 cm tall with only two leaves. On the other medicine beds that he saw, the highest Flower of the True Gods was already half a meter tall. There was even a green coloured flower at the top. The flower was surrounded by many green leaves, it looked extremely beautiful. Out of those whose flowers did not blossom, the poorest one was already above 20 centimeters tall and had at least four leaves. Mo Wuji sighed and resigned to fate. After his cultivation and spiritual will advancement, he knew quite a lot about nature of the Flower of the True Gods. If only he was given just an hour more. No. Just half an hour more. He was sure that he could grow it to at least half a meter tall. If he was given another one hour, he could outdo all the other Flowers of the True Gods to claim first place. ... It was a pity that he only managed to advance and just as he understood the nature of the flower, his time ran out. This was a pill competition where nobody would bother listening to him lament about what he could do in another half an hour¡¯s time. Zhen Shaoke, who was standing far away, released his tight fist as he saw that Mo Wuji did his best. Given Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation base, the fact that he was able to nurture the Flower of the True Gods was a success in itself. However, this was still a pill competition after all. "Ai¡­" the black bearded elder beside Qu Wan¡¯Er let out a sigh as he could tell that Mo Wuji was weaker than most of the other pill refiners. "I guess he tried his best," Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s gaze shifted from the poor shoot on Mo Wuji¡¯s medicine bed to Mo Wuji¡¯s disappointed and slightly lost face. The black bearded elder shook his head as he kept quiet. Whether or not he tried his best would not matter here. What truly mattered was success over the others. Pill Master Ming Ning walked onto the round altar and said while laughing, " After a gruelling 20 hours of competition, the second round has come to an end. May I invite all the pill refiners to stand by the side as we wait for the results." Mo Wuji followed the crowd of pill refiners to the side like a zombie. Since young, Mo Wuji had participated in countless of competitions and examinations, however, never was he so concerned and worried about the results like he was today. He knew that the result would determine if Yan¡¯Er would be able to recover. Mo Wuji, who only just realised the relationship between life and cultivation, had lost all forms of happiness. Currently, he would rather not have realised or understood anything at all and get into the top 100. "Mo Wuji, I really did not expect you to make it into the second round. However, you really do not have to wait here anymore. You should be standing with the rest of the spectators," A sarcastic voice sounded beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. Mo Wuji subconsciously lifted his head and saw Ju Feiyang staring at him with no motive of hiding his killing intent. This fella does have some skills up his sleeves as he made it into the second round too. Looks like he has been noticing me from the start, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have made such a comment. "Don¡¯t look at me like that. I saw the Flower of the True Gods that you nurtured, I mean it was way too eye-catching to not notice it anyway," Ju Feiyang saw Mo Wuji looking his way and he felt extremely pleased. As long as Mo Wuji failed to help Nine Moons Pill House earn their placings, they would probably not keep him there anymore and he would have the chance to finish Mo Wuji off. "Pill Master Ju, junior apprentice brother Mo had already said before that Bo Mengyu courted his own death. If you keep insisting that he was at fault, aren¡¯t you going overboard?" Yan Qianyin said with a lot of dissatisfaction. Mo Wuji was so focused on getting into the top 100 that he did not notice Yan Qianyin made it in too. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, do not worry. If I were to be able to get into the top 100, I will definitely give you a slot," Yan Qianyin was very clear why Mo Wuji was risking his life for this. Since the first round where Mo Wuji used his hand to fry the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit, Yan Qianyin made her decision. Even if the sect head were to object, she would still force out a slot for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji gave a slight smile and the disappointment in his eyes disappeared in his smile. So what if he failed to get a slot or enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain? As long as he stayed alive, he would find a way to save Yan¡¯Er. He was even planning to use his Spirit Strengthening Pill to exchange for a slot to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. He knew the value of the Spirit Strengthening Pill better than anyone else and he was confident it was worth a slot to enter the domain. Even if he were to run out of options in the end, he could offer to give Granny Ling Long his wordless pill manual. Whatever the case, he would not be dejected and give up on saving Yan¡¯Er. In his dictionary, there were no such words like ¡®lost¡¯ or ¡®disappointed¡¯. "Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan. I have never been worried, I believe that as long as I am alive, I will find a way. I have gotten over the incident where I was bitten by a dog. As long as you are alive, you are bound to be bitten. However, when bitten, how can you not fight back? Mo Wuji said calmly and his eyes regained his fighting spirit and determination. Qu Wan¡¯Er was watching Mo Wuji from afar and saw him regain his fighting spirit. She subconsciously clenched her fist as she knew the strong willed man who killed two lightning crocodiles was back. Chapter 125: 632 Chapter 125: 632 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Including Pill Master Ming Ning, all five judges transversed across the 300 medicine beds and made their assessments on the individual Flower of the True Gods. To be able to participate in this competition, and to enter the top 300 meant that these pill refiners were definitely not weak. None of the 300 pill refiners met situations where their seeds didn''t sprout. Moreover, there were very little instances like Mo Wuji''s, where the flower grew to be less than 10 centimetres tall. After approximately an hour, the five judges returned to the round altar; Pill Master Ming Ning stood alone in the middle of the altar. Everyone knew, the results were finally out. The pill refiners waited with bated breaths while Pill Master Ming Ning prepared to announce the results. Pill Master Ming Ning nodded to the crowd of pill refiners before announcing loudly, "The results from the second round has been decided. With the combined results from both rounds, the top 150 pill refiners are: 81, 711, 1021, 98, 34¡­" Even though he knew that he was obviously eliminated, Mo Wuji still held a bit of hope as he listened to Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s announcement. It wasn¡¯t just Mo Wuji, the rest of the pill refiners were the same. They all wished to hear their own number. "113, 632, 2¡­" Pill Master Ming Ning had finally reported all 150 numbers. Mo Wuji was crestfallen; 150 numbers should have taken a long time to report, so why did it feel so fast? "Congratulations to the pill refiners who have gotten through the first two rounds. At the same time, all pill refiners whose numbers have not been called are to leave the testing grounds. We will immediately start our third round of the competition." Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s voice was clear and crisp, transmitting into the ears of every single pill refiner. "This is not fair. Senior pill refiners, I know my words are going to sound outrageous, but I am not saying them just because I was eliminated. But the second round simply wasn¡¯t judged fairly!" An abrupt voice broke the silence in the grounds. All eyes landed on the person speaking; it was a young looking pill refiner. An expression of unwillingness and unfairness could be seen on his face. All this while, no one actually dared to question the decisions of the five Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiners. After all, their discernment was impeccable, they definitely would not make a mistake in their judgement. However, someone actually stood up to question them after the second round. Was the judgement really unfair? If it was, despite the immense prestige held by the Heaven Seeking Palace, all hell would break loose. In fact, the various powers might simply decide to end the practice of a pill competition there and then. Mo Wuji looked at Ju Feiyang in shock; he never saw Ju Feiyang to be a person with such guts. He actually dared to cry out for injustice? Did this fella really think he could definitely get past the second round? He was originally going to leave the testing grounds, but because of Ju Feiyang¡¯s cry for injustice, Mo Wuji momentarily stopped in his tracks. As he gradually stopped walking, Mo Wuji suddenly felt as though he was missing something. Before Mo Wuji could recall what it was he was neglecting, Pill Master Ming Ning coldly said, "You dare doubt the standards of the five Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiners, and the fairness of the Heaven Seeking Palace?" Ju Feiyang seemed to understand that there¡¯s no way back for him, so he took a step forward with his fists clasped as he said, "I don¡¯t dare do that. But I¡¯m very familiar with competitor 632. He was among the last to finish his purification in the first round, but he entered the top 300. However, I did not know the degree of his purification, so I kept quiet. However, he was definitely among the last for the second round; his Flower of the True Gods is not even bigger than a palm. Such a pill refiner actually managed to enter the top 150! That¡¯s why I would like to ask: Where is the fairness?" After these words left Ju Feiyang¡¯s mouth, the crowd started to get restless. Ju Feiyang¡¯s words were not without logic, and he even had evidence. If that¡¯s the case, there was only one possibility: The judgement was truly unfair. The whole crowd started to surge, and there were even calls for a riot. "Everyone down in the grounds are to calm down. Whether the judgement is fair or not is up to Pill Master Ming Ning to decide." A voice thick in killing intent descended from the sky, and seemed to strike into every single person¡¯s hearts. It caused many restless footsteps to momentarily calm down. Mo Wuji was also shocked as he heard this voice; his mind started to clear up. He finally made sense of the situation: previously, he was simply waiting for Pill Master Ming Ning to finish reporting the 150 numbers, and he forgot that he was number 632. In actuality, 632 was called out, but he did not notice it and connect the number to himself. A sense of excitement inundated Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body; he had already completely ignored the legitimacy of Ju Feiyang¡¯s words. No wonder why Ju Feiyang would actually call for injustice. He thoroughly hates me, and can¡¯t wait to kill me. Now that I managed to pass while he didn¡¯t, he must definitely be shocked and jealous. Pill Master Ming Ning glanced coldly at Ju Feiyang before she said loudly, "To all the participating pill refiners, as to the matter of Pill Refiner 632, even if no one fingered him out, I would still have talked about him. Actually, I have been paying attention to Pill Refiner 632 for a very long time. In the first round, where the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit was to be purified, his speed was among the slowest. However, he still managed to purify the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit within the time limit, and his purification degree was graded 71 out of 100, which was within the top 10. This result would already be outstanding for a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. To him, it would be even more so. Does everybody want to know why I said that? It¡¯s because he¡¯s just a Channel Opening Stage cultivator. It¡¯s already a miracle for a Channel Opening Stage cultivator to become a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Not only did he achieve that, he even managed to purify a Tier 4 Iron Core Bodhi Fruit with a red firestone." Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s words aroused various discussions within the crowd. Clearly, many people felt her words to be absurd. "Perhaps some of you might find my words preposterous. But if you all know how he managed to achieve these results, you would no longer think so. Let me tell you, he got this results by frying with his hands. For a pill refiner, as long as it¡¯s not a permanent injury, it might be worth it to use your hands to fry the herb, and achieve such stellar results. But I¡¯m sure all of you can only imagine the heart wrenching pain experienced from putting your hand through the heat of a firestone. How much determination was required to endure that pain? Also, I believe all of you should know the huge damage this hand frying method does to its user. Once it reaches an irreparable state, his pill concoction foundations would be utterly ruined. I believe that a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner would not actually have a pill which can mend an irreparable hand." As Pill Master Ming Ning said this, the whole crowd quietened down. There were many pill refiners in the crowd. Even they couldn''t dare confirm that they would achieve success through using the hand frying method. Moreover, they would not be willing to try it even if it got them selected. It was as Pill Master Ming Ning said, the gains would never outweigh the risks. What if it caused a permanent damage to the hand? Not only would their pill concocting future be ruined, their cultivation potential would be lost as well. Furthermore, it was only the first round. Using such a harmful method might even affect their performance in the future rounds. Pill Master Ming Ning continued solemnly, "This wasn¡¯t the greatest thing I appreciated about this pill refiner. What I appreciated the most, was that after he finished his purification, he endured the pain of his burns and forced himself to not consume any sort of pills. Initially, I did not understand the reason for his actions, but I came to understand when the jade vases were collected. He probably isn¡¯t very familiar with the rules, and he thought that it was against the rules to administer pills during the competition. That¡¯s why he chose to forcefully endure the pain. He is the most devout pill refiner here. His sacrifice in this competition, and his desire to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain definitely exceeds everybody else here. To obtain a placing, he did not even care about how his future could be ruined." By the side, Qu Wan¡¯Er looked at Mo Wuji and sighed. This fella¡¯s determination is still the same. Others might have doubts towards Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s words, but she completely believed it. She had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s determination before. As he was struck by bolt after bolt of lightning, he still chose to pit his life against the lightning crocodiles. At this point, Pill Master Ming Ning specially took a pause and looked at Pill Master Ju disdainfully before continuing, "But these are just what I appreciate about him. As a judge, I definitely wouldn¡¯t specially give him additional points for that. If I knew that there would be such a person who was so sincere, and so determined, yet had such a low cultivation, I would have suggested rounds which have lower requirements of cultivation level. But there are no ¡®if¡¯s. For the second round, it was the growing of Flowers of the True Gods. Besides having high requirements of a pill refiner¡¯s understanding towards spiritual herbs, this round had higher requirements towards a pill refiner''s cultivation. Among the 300 competitors, 163 pill refiners chose the wood affinity flower, 90 chose the fire affinity flower, and 46 pill refiners chose from the earth, water and metal affinities." Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s gaze swept across the crowd, before speaking in a higher tone, "Out of 300 pill refiners, only one person chose a Flower of the True Gods of a unique affinity. This is understandable. After all, pill refiners with unique elemental affinities are as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns. At the same time, there is also another reason. The difficulty of growing a unique affinity Flower of the True Gods is multiple times higher¡­" At this moment, everyone in the square started to probe around in the crowd. No one knew who 632 was, but everyone knew that Pill Master Ming Ning was definitely going to talk about 632, and Pill Refiner 632 was definitely within the crowd. Looking at the crowd''s glancing eyes, Pill Master Ming Ning''s tone became a littler gentler, "Yes, everyone guessed right. The pill refiner who chose a unique affinity Flower of the True Gods seed was Pill Refiner 632. The lightning affinity flower he grew is already as wide as a palm. Even though his results isn''t the best, it''s definitely within the top 10." Pill Master Ming Ning turned back, stared at Ju Feiyang and snapped loudly, "Do you still think that our judges are pretentious, and that the Five Elements Pill Competition is unfair?" "I, I¡­ didn¡¯t know¡­" Ju Feiyang¡¯s entire mind turned cold. The jealousy he had towards Mo Wuji had utterly vanished. In its place, was only a deep, intense fear. He hated Mo Wuji, which was why he momentarily lost his reason and cried for injustice. Who would have guessed that it would turn out like this. "If everyone was like you, and decide to question the credibility of the Five Elements Pill Competition, then the Five Elements Pill Competition cannot carry on¡­" Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s voice was icy cold. As her voice descended, an incomparably huge shadow of a fist appeared in the sky. "Peng!" This shadow descended onto Ju Feiyang. Ju Feiyang didn¡¯t even have the chance to plead for mercy. He was directly minced into bits of meat. Chapter 126: The Third Round Chapter 126: The Third Round Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji looked at the fist mark and the mess of blood on the floor in shock. He did not derive a half bit of joy from Ju Feiyang¡¯s death, but a strong sense of crisis. Ju Feiyang was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner; this was a high and superior existence within the Xinghan Empire. Even in the Formless Blade Sect, he had a status comparable to the sect head. However, he was crushed to death like an insignificant ant. If he were to plead with Granny Linglong, and his words dissatisfied her, would he be casually killed too? Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t afraid of being targeted; he was only afraid that he might be too helpless to even fend for himself. Power. He needed much more power. Within the crowd, the Formless Blade Sect Head Gu Ran saw Ju Feiyang being killed with a single fist. His lips curved into a frown, but he could only silently acknowledge this outcome. If he were to be honest with himself, he definitely had some regrets. If only he had listened to Yan Qianyin¡¯s words and allowed Mo Wuji to take part in the Five Elements Pill Competition, then his Formless Blade Sect would have more to reap. But now, not only did he lose Ju Feiyang who he had poured much resources into, he had also offended Mo Wuji, this pill refiner with a bright future. Fortunately, Yan Qianyin also managed to enter the second round, which gave him a tad bit of solace. The square quietened down; no one else felt that there was anything wrong with Ju Feiyang¡¯s death. To dare question the fairness of the competition, Ju Feiyang truly got what he deserved. No one else was like Mo Wuji, who developed this deep sense of crisis. Everyone felt that it was normal. To offend an expert¡¯s pride, naturally, you would get killed. Moreover, Ju Feiyang offended the Five Elements Pill Competition and the Heaven Seeking Palace, killing him 100 times over would also not have been enough. The only feelings which were aroused from the crowd was envy towards Pill Refiner 632. A Channel Opening Stage Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, actually managed to emerge within the top 10 in the first two rounds of the competition. Many people had already started inquiring about the origins of Pill Refiner 632, and had already prepared to find him to purchase some placings. Ju Feiyang¡¯s death, was but a small matter. Pill Master Ming Ning had already continued with the programme, "The third round is pill concocting. May all pill refiners stand in front of your pill furnace and choose the pill you wish to concoct." The testing grounds had already been cleaned, and 150 pill furnaces had been put in place. Mo Wuji walked towards pill furnace 632 and stood firm. He took a quick glance at his surroundings and saw that Yan Qianyin was not too far off on his left. Noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze, Yan Qianyin smiled gently, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, your results in the previous two rounds were not bad. In the third round, you just need to choose a Tier 3 Mortal Pill. It should be enough to get you within the top 100." "Many thanks senior apprentice sister Yan," Mo Wuji hurriedly expressed his gratitude. Now that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation had advanced, and his spiritual will had also taken a huge leap, Mo Wuji felt that he could even take up the challenge of a Tier 4 Earth Pill. However, knowing that his previous two results were within the top 10, and that the final results were cumulative of all three rounds, he gave up on doing so. He did not wish to attain a higher ranking, he just needed to be within the top 100, and at least had a ranking higher than 97. As the pill refiners all got into position, Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s voice called out, "In the pill furnaces in front of you, there are more than 10 pill formulas for you to choose from. May everyone open your furnace and pick a pill formula. Thereafter, report the pill formula you have chosen to obtain the required spiritual herbs." Like the other pill refiners, Mo Wuji opened his pill furnace and saw more than 10 slips of paper within it. On the papers, they wrote: Tier 4 Earth Pill - Earth Yuan Pill, Evolution Pill, Earthly Soul Protecting Pill, Thoughtless Fire Pill, Devil Cleansing Pill. There were five types of Tier 4 Earth Pills. If Mo Wuji had confidence in concocting Tier 4 pills, he would definitely have chosen the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill. Even though there wasn¡¯t any introduction to the uses of the pill, from it¡¯s name alone, Mo Wuji could roughly guess that this pill should be used to recover spiritual will. He had the Spirit Strengthening Pill, which could enhance one¡¯s spiritual will. However, it was not able to recover spiritual will. If he had the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill, whenever his spiritual will was depleting, he could simply administer it to carry on. This would be extremely beneficial, albeit in combat or pill concocting. However, Mo Wuji did not dare take this risk. What he truly needed now was a placing for the Five Elements Desolate Domain, so that he could save Yan¡¯Er¡¯s life. However, not choosing this pill meant that he would not be able to look at its full pill formula. Mo Wuji dejectedly shifted his attention towards the Tier 3 pills: Mortality Transcending Pill, Emptiness Pill, Spirit Depositing Pill, Phaseless Pill, Bone Tempering Pill, Facial Restoration Pill¡­ Wait, wait. Facial Restoration Pill. Can this pill restore Yan¡¯Er¡¯s face? If he had such a pill, he could fix the scar on Yan¡¯Er¡¯s face. The rest of the Tier 3 pills were also useless towards Mo Wuji. Without hesitation, Mo Wuji picked the Facial Restoration Pill. Mo Wuji pressed a button by the side of the pill furnace, and a service disciple immediately walked to his side, "Sir pill refiner, may I ask whether you have made your selection?" Mo Wuji nodded and pointed to the Facial Restoring Pill, "I¡¯ll pick the Tier 3 Facial Restoring Pill." "Yes. Sir pill refiner, please wait." With a simple response, the service disciple immediately left and quickly returned with a pile of spiritual herbs and a pill formula for Mo Wuji. Seeing that the other pill refiners were still making their choices, Mo Wuji did not rush to start concocting to pill. He had already reached this stage, he did not wake to make any mistakes which might flout the rules. After half an incense¡¯s time, a gong sounded from the round altar. At the same time, Pill Master Ming Ning stood up, "The various pill refiners have made their choices of pill formulas, and have also received their ingredients. The third round will now begin. The time allocated is 2 hours, and it will be graded out of 100." Following Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s announcement, the various pill refiners ignited their red firestones. Everyone here knew that when compared to concocting pills in one¡¯s own pill room, the difficulty in concocting a pill here was much higher. This was the same, even for the same pill one might have concocted before. Firstly, there wasn¡¯t an earth fire here. The fire source was a red firestone. Secondly, the pill furnace was not the same pill furnace as one would usually use. Thus, there would some sense of unfamiliarity. Thirdly, there were various sources of disturbances. Not only was there the noise from the crowd, the failures of neighbouring pill refiners would be a huge source of disturbance. Mo Wuji opened the pill furnace and immediately got a shock. The first spiritual ingredient on the pill formula was a Gold Rockvine. In terms of tiers, it was a Tier 3 spiritual pill. Even though it was his first time seeing the actual herb, Mo Wuji was not a stranger to the Gold Rockvine. It was an extremely tough spiritual herb which was not inferior to the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit. The only difference was that one was a Tier 3 spiritual herb while the other was Tier 4. Mo Wuji stared helpless at both his hands. The hand which was injured while he purified the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit had yet to fully recover, yet he had met with another tricky ingredient. If not for the advancements in his cultivation and spiritual will, this spiritual ingredient alone would have failed him. Fortunately, he did have advancements in his cultivation and spiritual will. Even though it might be rather difficult, he should be able to concoct the Facial Restoring Pill within two hours. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer bothered diverting his attention to look the other pill refiners. He hurriedly cleaned his pill furnace before starting to purify the Gold Rockvine. If he was not able to purify the Gold Rockvine in time, Mo Wuji had already set his determination down to use the hand frying method again. Regardless of the danger, he would have to concoct the Facial Restoring Pill. Even if he had performed well in the first two rounds, he would fail to get within the top 100 if he did not manage to even concoct a pill in the third round. Under the instigation of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual energy, the red firestone lit up. Mo Wuji inserted his hand into the pill furnace. He wasn¡¯t using his hand to fry the herb, but use the pill techniques hidden within his hand techniques to purify the Gold Rockvine. The reason why he inserted his hand into the pill furnace was because he was afraid of people discovering his pill techniques. However, Mo Wuji did not expect that he could easily control the Gold Rockvine with his pill techniques. The Gold Rockvine easily melted, and its medicinal essence was quickly extracted. Intense joy overwhelmed him; he did not even need to use the hand frying method. Mo Wuji would never have thought that a simple rise in cultivation level would have made such a huge difference. No, that¡¯s not the whole truth. Mo Wuji came to realise that this big difference wasn¡¯t solely due to his advancements in cultivation, but his spiritual will. Even though he was using the lowest grade red firestone, his strong spiritual will allowed him to easily control the Gold Rockvine. Spiritual will was truly a good thing. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji had already purified the Gold Rockvine. Thereafter, Mo Wuji added the rest of the spiritual herbs into the pill furnace, one at a time. Under the power of his strong spiritual will, the spiritual herbs within the pill furnace were speedily purified. After an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji slapped the side of the pill furnace, and sent a pile of medicinal dregs out of the furnace. After purifying the spiritual herbs, the fusion of the medicinal essences, the splitting of the pills and the condensation of the pills was simply a piece of cake for Mo Wuji. In just a short hour, Mo Wuji had already started to retrieve his pills. This time, he did not specially use his pill retrieval techniques, but used his hand techniques to retrieve the pills. 12 light green pills were collected by Mo Wuji and sent into a jade vase. Mo Wuji extinguished the fire under his pill furnace, and started to observe the people around him. This time, he was one of the first to complete. He was no longer among the last. There were not more than 10 people who had also completed their concoction; many of the pill refiners were still in the process of pill concoction. Countless charred odours from failed essence fusions, and loud explosions from failed pill condensations could be heard. But all this did not matter to Mo Wuji. He was sure that his score should be able to get him a placing. His ranking did not really matter. Mo Wuji mainly focused his attention towards Yan Qianyin. After all, she was the pill refiner he was most familiar with. At this moment, Yan Qianyin¡¯s state did not look very good; her expression looked rather heavy and forced. "Peng!" The sound of an explosion resounded. Yan Qianyin, was already not far away from Mo Wuji, but her failure sounded so much more clear to him. Yan Qianyin had failed, Mo Wuji sighed. He had seen Yan Qianyin¡¯s expression, and he already had some doubts. According to his understanding of Yan Qianyin¡¯s standards, even with a red firestone, she should not have failed to concoct a Tier 4 spiritual pill. Unless she chose an extremely hard to concoct pill? Seemingly noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze, Yan Qianyin turned over. Mo Wuji gestured to her not to worry. If he could obtain excess placings, he would definitely give her one. Yan Qianyin nodded, and started to clean up her mess. Mo Wuji turned and saw Zhang Ding; he had already finished his pill concoction, and he had a resolute expression on his face. It looked like he had concocted a pretty good pill. Chapter 127: The End of the Five Elements Pill Competition Chapter 127: The End of the Five Elements Pill Competition Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Dang dang dang!" After another half an hour, the gong rang thrice and the time for concocting pills was up. A few pill refiners who were close to finishing the concoction their pills were distracted by the sound of the gong and the pills within the furnace exploded, disintegrating to a pile of waste. 10 service disciples had already started collecting the jade vases. For every jade vase that they collected, they would place a sign by the side of the furnace indicating the name of the pill that the pill refiner had concocted. As Mo Wuji¡¯s jade vase was taken away, the sign beside his furnace indicated Facial Restoration Pill. Mo Wuji scanned through all four directions before realising that out of the hundred plus pill refiners, he seemed like the only one who chose the Facial Restoration Pill. Most of the pill refiners chose to concoct a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill and out of the few who chose a Tier 3 Mortal Pills, they chose the Phaseless Pill or the Bone Tempering Pill. Mo Wuji guessed that these two Tier 3 Mortal Pills must be worth a lot if not there would not be so many people choosing it. Those who saw Mo Wuji¡¯s choice of pill to concoct went speechless. In the world of cultivation, the Facial Restoration Pill was one of the most worthless pill. If it was the Facial Retention Pill, more people might choose it. A pill like the Facial Restoration Pill was not only worthless, it was also not easy to concoct. Only Yan Qianyin knew Mo Wuji¡¯s true purpose of choosing the Facial Restoration Pill. Soon, all the jade vases were collected and placed on the table of the five judges. The five judges started taking turns to open the jade vases check on the colour and the quality of each pill. After another hour, Pill Master Ming Ning stood up and that was when everyone knew that the results of the third round was out. Pill Master Ming Ning said in a very refreshing tone, "After three rounds of exciting and intense competition, the Five Elements Pill Competition has come to an end. The names of the top 100 pill refiners are out. When I announce the names, those who were called out please come up to the stage to receive the bracelet which will allow you to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain." The top 10 in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition would also receive a reward but nobody really cared about the reward at this point in time. Everyone was concerned about the namelist. Compared to the chance of entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, these rewards really meant nothing. "The first number is Pill Master 37 with 261 points, second is Pill Master 9 with 257 points, third is Pill Master 2 with 256 points, fourth is Pill Master 113¡­" Pill Master Ming Ning called out all 10 pill refiners in one breath before pausing for a while. Number 632 was not reported yet but Mo Wuji was not too concerned as this was still within his expectations. Even though he managed to concoct a perfect batch of Tier 3 mortal pills, he clearly knew the difference in value of a Tier 3 Mortal Pill and a Tier 4 Earth Pill hence he knew that the third round would definitely pull his score down. Zhang Ding was the first person that received the award from Pill Master Ming Ning therefore, he knew that fella must be Pill Master 37. "Congratulations on coming in first in this year¡¯s competition and welcome to my Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda," Pill Master Ming Ning said with a genial smile. This scene made a lot of people on the square very envious. Most of them wanted to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain so that they could find some top quality spiritual object which could earn them a place in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Before he even enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had already received the good grace of a Tier 6 pill refiner and a personal invitation to the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. Who wouldn¡¯t want such a great honour? Mo Wuji thought to himself: This fella really received both fame and benefits. Not only did he come in first, receiving such generous rewards and slots to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. He even got an invitation to the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. "Many thanks Senior Ming Ning, the Heaven Seeking Palace was always a place a junior like myself admires a lot, and to be able to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace is my greatest honour," Zhang Ding received the award very formally and then retreated out of the round altar. Mo Wuji expected Mu Ying, not Zhang Ding, to win the first place. What surprised Mo Wuji even more was that Mu Ying did not even win second place. Pill Master 9, who came in second place, was a man with yellow hair. He did not talk much, only saying thanks after receiving the award from Pill Master Ming Ning before leaving. Third placing was won by Pill Master 2, who was Mu Ying. Even though Mo Wuji could not see any disappointment on Mu Ying¡¯s face, he knew that Mu Ying was probably not feeling too pleased about it. As the god¡¯s favoured one and the one all the elders expected great things from, it was such a disgrace that Mu Yung did not win the competition. Furthermore, she did not even get second place. This was not just a disgrace to herself but also to the Heaven Seeking Palace. More and more numbers were read out and more batches of young pill refiners took turns to walk up the round altar to receive their awards. When almost 50 numbers were read out, Mo Wuji started to worry as he expected his number to appear soon. Unless Pill Master Ming Ning was lying previously about his top 10 position in the earlier two rounds. It was as if Mo Wuji¡¯s worry was heard because at that moment, he heard Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s touching voice, "...50th place goes to Pill Master 632 with 201 points¡­" Mo Wuji rushed out of his seat as if it was a classical conditioning. His name was finally called and he had gotten the 50th place. This would mean that he won 51 placings to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Regardless, he would not need so many placings. "Congratulations junior apprentice Brother Mo. Don¡¯t get too excited on stage," Yan Qianyin congratulated Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji finally calmed down and hurried to reply, "Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan. You do not have to worry, no matter how many placings you want, I have it here." These extra placings were of no use for Mo Wuji therefore he did not mind giving some to help Yan Qianyin. "Haha¡­" Zhen Shaoke from far away waved his fist in the air as he really did not misjudged Mo Wuji. Not only that, it was a big harvest for him. He knew what kind of person Mo Wuji was and he knew that Mo Wuji was definitely not a heartless person. He believed that Mo Wuji would give him some of the placings and with the placings, he would be able to draw over the support of more elders in Nine Moons Pill House. "Big brother, is this even surprising? With Wuji¡¯s top quality pill concoction techniques, it would be more surprising if he did not win any placings. You¡¯re exaggerating this," An unhappy Zhen Shaoru muttered by the side. The usually polite Zhen Shaoke could not help but shout, "What do you know?" As Zhen Shaoru was about to reply, the smiling Second House Master walked over, "Shaoke, Shaoru, you are both here. This time around, Shaoke has really contributed a lot to Nine Moons Pill House and your Pill Master 632 was really not bad. Oh right, let¡¯s hold a welcome ceremony for him after the award ceremony." Zhen Shaoru was just about to rage when Zhen Shaoke stopped him and said, "I don¡¯t agree with Second House Master because the placings that Wuji won have nothing to do with my Nine Moons Pill House. I promised him that he would have full control over the placings that he won and he need not give any to the Nine Moons Pill House." Second House Master face turned serious, "How could you do this? This is after all my reward for participating in the pill competition." Zhen Shaoru felt enraged and shouted at the Second House Master, "Stop bullsh*tting old hag, these placings obviously belongs to my older brother. I heard it with my own ears that you said if big brother was to win some placings, it will have nothing to do with the Nine Moons Pill House. How can you go back on your word? Just how smelly can your mouth get?" Second House Master¡¯s face became solemn and her tone turned cold, "Shaoke, I know Shaoru lacked proper teaching since he was young but don''t you think he crossed the line in being this rude to a senior?" Zhen Shaoke cupped his fist with another hand, "Second House Master, please forgive him as my younger brother has always been this straightforward." Second House Master shook her hand and said, "Forget it, we should discuss about the placings for the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Zhen Shaoke said with an indifferent tone, "House Master Cheng, I¡¯ve said it before. I have no say in who the placings go to." After this sentence, Zhen Shaoke lifted his hand to signal for Second House Master to not say anything as he continued, "Even if I have a say in this, I am still the Young House Master of the Nine Moons Pill House after all. I need not consult or discuss with anybody for the things that I do." Zhen Shaoke said the last sentence with a lot more seriousness and the Second House Master blanked out as she did not expect Zhen Shaoke to become so much more unyielding. Before she managed to react, Zhen Shaoke already brought Zhen Shaoru away. It was only then that she remembered that she was only the Second House Master. The real house master of the Nine Moons Pill House was the Old House Master and before she became the Old House Master, Zhen Shaoke was the true heir of Nine Moons Pill House. The reason why Zhen Shaoke could become so unyielding was because he now had the placings to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain which was capable of helping him garner more support. ... Concurrently, the black bearded elder beside Qu Wan¡¯Er sighed and said, "This young man called Mo Wuji has quite a bit of willpower. A Tier 3 mortal pill refiner actually managed to make it into the top 50. His future would have been so bright if his spiritual roots were not of such low quality." Qu Wan¡¯Er did not reply as she already knew what her master was about to say. Indeed, the black bearded elder sighed again before continuing, "Wan¡¯Er, arrange to meet him later no matter what. Furthermore, try to meet him as early as possible. If he had the say of who to give the placings to, a lot of people will snatch for it. If you were to go late, even if he wants to give you, he might not have enough. Even though he was representing pill house, having won these placings, he should be able to have a little authority over who he wants to give his placings to." "Yes Master," Qu Wan¡¯Er said in a low voice. She did not want to do this but she knew she had no other choice. Up till now, no one from the Heavenly Temple made it yet and it was likely that they might only be 80th placed or worse. If this was the case, it would be really hard for her to even be distributed one placing. "Congratulations on winning the 50th place in the Five Elements Pill Competition, may I know your name?" Pill Master Ming Ning passed Mo Wuji a golden silk bag filled with 51 bracelets as she casually asked. "Thank you senior Ming Ning, junior¡¯s name is Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji took the golden silk bag with a lot of excitement as this signified the success of his first step. "Mo Wuji, not bad at all. I see you are no longer that young, why are you only at Channel Opening Stage? Are your spiritual roots poor?" Pill Master Ming Ning nodded as she asked again. Mo Wuji felt very grateful as he came up with nine other people but Pill Master Ming Ning only spoke this much when it was his turn. It was clear that Pill Master Ming Ning regarded him with special respect. "Indeed, I have low quality spiritual roots and only fortunately managed to cultivate a lightning attributed flesh hardening technique which was why I have the chance to even be standing down here," Mo Wuji replied respectfully. Pill Master Ming Ning¡¯s face showed flashes of disappointment but understood what was going on at the same time. This was why his hand was not damaged and was capable of nurturing a lightning attribute Flower of the True Gods. "Great, do not give up on your own dreams. Please head down first," Pill Master Ming Ning wanted to accept Mo Wuji as her disciple but changed her mind when she found out about his spiritual roots. No matter how talented one was in pill concoction, having low quality spiritual roots meant that the talent will go to waste. Chapter 128: Red Hot Bracelets Chapter 128: Red Hot Bracelets Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: As Mo Wuji walked down the round altar, he opened the gold silk bag in his hands; there were a total of 51 jade bracelets inside. These were the keys to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain; each jade bracelet signified a placing in the desolate domain. On the stage, Pill Master Ming Ning was still reporting the names, but it no longer mattered to Mo Wuji. It took a total of one hour for Pill Master Ming Ning to award all 100 pill refiners, and present them with their jade bracelets. The Five Elements Desolate Domain square erupted with noise and activity. Crowds started to form and the sects and powers which won placings were among the noisiest in the crowd. Pill Master Ming Ning increased her volume, "Everyone, quiet down." Even though everyone was eager to obtain the desolate domain placings through trade or transaction, they were halted by the authority of Pill Master Ming Ning''s words. In a short time, the bustling crowd quietened down; a few had to forcefully suppress the eagerness in their hearts and listened to the final words of Pill Master Ming Ning. "This pill competition has officially come to an end. Congratulations to all pill refiners who obtained a placing, as well as their sects. Three days later, the transfer array for the Five Elements Desolate Domain will be activated. To enter, one must wear the bracelet and must not be more than 50 years in age. This Five Elements Desolate Domain trial will last for three months. Anything found there will belong to you. Three months later, you will need to find your own way out. The Heaven Seeking Palace will not be held responsible for anyone who failed to come out." With the end of Pill Master Ming Ning''s announcement, the whole square instantly bustled up. The crowd became loud and messy, with no sense of order. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was still thinking puzzledly. If a person doesn''t leave after the three months, won''t he be able to obtain more spiritual herbs? At the first possible moment, Zhen Shaoke and Zhen Shaoru arrived by Mo Wuji''s side, "Wuji, congratulations. Ha ha, I just knew that you wouldn''t disappoint me. Come, let''s go back and talk." Mo Wuji hurriedly said to Yan Qianyin, "Senior apprentice sister Yan, I will wait for you at the Nine Moons Pill House." As there were far too many people here, it would not be convenient for him to simply pass Yan Qianyin the bracelets. Just as Mo Wuji finished that sentence, the human traffic had squeezed him out to the side. He hurriedly followed Zhen Shaoke to leave this human mess. ¡­ "Mr Zhen, there''s a huge harvest ah. I don''t need so many Five Elements Desolate Domain bracelets. I can give you as much as you need." After returning to the Nine Moons Pill House encampment, Mo Wuji elatedly placed the gold silk bag on the table. Even he did not expect that he would have obtained so many placings. Zhen Shaoke stood up and bowed to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I roughly need 20 placings. You really helped me out this time. I also won''t be courteous now; these are things I''ve prepared to exchange for your placings. Even though it''s a bit lacking, but we''re friends after all." With that, Zhen Shaoke retrieved a small cloth bag and pushed it in front of Mo Wuji. He was genuinely grateful towards Mo Wuji; with Mo Wuji''s 20 bracelets, he could definitely topple the Second House Master''s regime. In the pill house, which elders and pill refiners wouldn''t have descendants and disciples who would want to enter the desolate domain? Mo Wuji hurriedly rejected him, "Shaoke, you helped me when I was facing crisis, and the rights to participate in this competition was also granted by you. How can I accept your things?" Even though Zhen Shaoke was borrowing his abilities, he did not use any underhanded schemes, but openly seeked Mo Wuji''s friendship. Mo Wuji also changed to address Zhen Shaoke as ''Shaoke¡¯ to truly recognise him as a friend. Hearing Mo Wuji''s change in address, Zhen Shaoke was elated. He smiled and pushed Mo Wuji''s hand back, "Wuji, these are things you need. You just need to take a look to know." Mo Wuji seemed to suddenly think of something, and he immediately grabbed the small cloth bag into his hands. He discovered that the opening of the bag seemed to be blocked by some complex lines. How familiar. In an instant, Mo Wuji finally understood what was going on and asked excitedly, "Shaoke, is this¡­" Zhen Shaoke nodded, "That''s right, this is a storage bag. This was the largest storage bag I could find. There are even some spirit stones inside for you to use in your cultivation." "How do I use it?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. He could reject other things, but he definitely couldn''t reject the storage bag. He had far too many things he needed to carry. Just the drug refining equipment alone was already an inconvenient baggage. "You control it using your will. With your will, you can freely retrieve or store things inside. If your will isn''t strong enough, you can wait till you''ve advanced to the Spirit Building Stage to use it. Additionally, you can bind with this storage bag so that it only allows your will to open it¡­" Zhen Shaoke had not even finished speaking but Mo Wuji had already used his spiritual will to see what was inside the storage bag. A mountain of crystal clear spirit stones, clearly of the Xuan grade. At the same time, there were also many orange firestones. Mo Wuji had used orange firestones before, and he knew that it was a level higher than red firestones. What surprised Mo Wuji the most was an intricately carved pill furnace placed at a corner of the storage bag. With all these items, the storage bag still had close to two cubes of space. "Shaoke, this is too extravagant¡­" Even though Mo Wuji knew that the things inside were things he needed, he still felt that it was far too extravagant and excessive. After all, his competition rights were given by Zhen Shaoke in the first place. "Wuji, you can casually see the things inside?" Zhen Shaoke asked in pleasant surprise, and soon came to an understanding, "That''s right, you''re a pill refiner, so it''s natural for your will to be stronger. If not, you wouldn''t be able to concoct Tier 3 pills. But Wuji, even though these things are worth a lot, it''s worthless compared to the treasures within the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Your 20 bracelets are the keys to obtaining those treasures. I''m not exaggerating when I say this." As he said this, Zhen Shaoke started to whisper, "Wuji, don¡¯t think that the Five Elements Desolate Domain only has the Flower of the True Gods. Actually, there are are valuable and priceless treasures there. You might even find the immortal cave of a fallen expert; finding one would actually equate to finding the legacy of a huge sect." With Zhen Shaoke speaking so much to persuade him, Mo Wuji no longer declined his intentions. He retrieved 25 jade bracelets and passed it to Zhen Shaoke, "Shaoke, you can take these. I just hope that you can help me with one more favour. I wish that you can help me keep a lookout for anyone who finds the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal in the Five Elements Desolate Domain." "Don¡¯t worry, Wuji. Even if you didn¡¯t remind me, I would have done that. When you¡¯ve entered the desolate domain, do help me take care of Shaoru if you meet him. You know that Shaoru is a muscle head, and he is very straightforward, so he might get taken advantage of. Regarding these bracelets, I won¡¯t be overly courteous with you." Shen Shaoru kept the 25 jade bracelets. Since Mo Wuji had treated him as a friend, acting too courteous would just be hypocritical. Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Shaoke, you¡¯re not going in?" Zhen Shaoke shook his head, "I need to win over the internal elders of the pill house; this is the biggest opportunity I have to officially obtain the position as the main house master. Also, there¡¯s also Yan¡¯Er and your friends. With me here, you wouldn¡¯t need to worry about them." Mo Wuji was just thinking about the situation with Yan¡¯Er when he enters the Five Elements Desolate Domain, but with Zhen Shaoke¡¯s words, he was immediately reassured. "Pack your things up. I believe that you would soon be very busy. Don¡¯t casually sell these bracelets away; everyone of them is extremely valuable. Oh, please don¡¯t sell them to the Second House Master." Zhen Shaoke was worried that Mo Wuji did not know the value of the bracelets and sold them away at dirt cheap prices. Thus, he specially reminded Mo Wuji. "I know." Mo Wuji nodded. Even if Zhen Shaoke didn¡¯t remind him, he wouldn¡¯t have sold the bracelets to that overbearing lady from the pill house. "Oh right, Shaoke, I heard from Pill Master Ming Ning that we would have to leave by ourselves after three months. But if we choose to stay, wouldn¡¯t we be able to reap bigger harvests?" Zhen Shaoke smiled gently, "You¡¯re overthinking it. The reason why the pill competition can only be held once every three years, and the reason why they chose this three months, is because this is the period where the Five Elements Desolate Domain is relatively safe. The huge demonic beasts will roam into the deeper regions of the domain, and the poisonous fog would be dispersed. If you don¡¯t leave after three months, you would definitely end up dead¡­" "There¡¯s poisonous fog in the Five Elements Desolate Domain?" Mo Wuji asked flabbergastedly. Zhen Shaoke was just about to continue, but the attendant standing outside Mo Wuji¡¯s door called out, "Young House Master, the pill house¡¯s elders and pill refiners wish to see you¡­" Zhen Shaoke hastily stood up, "Wuji, I would give you a book entailing all the dangers in due time. I¡¯ll head off first." With that, Zhen Shaoke hurriedly left. This was his most key and critical moment. Just as Zhen Shaoke left, and Mo Wuji had yet to delve into his storage bag, Fei Bingzhu entered, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, Pill Master Yan is here." Mo Wuji enthusiastically stood up, "I¡¯ll fetch her." By the door, Yan Qianyin¡¯s voice called out, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, I¡¯m already here." Mo Wuji eagerly brought Yan Qianyin in, and poured her a cup of tea, "Senior apprentice sister Yan, please take a sit." Mo Wuji genuinely felt that it was a waste that Yan Qianyin did not manage to obtain within the top 100. He felt that with her abilities, not only could she enter the top 100, she could even be within the top 20. "Thank you." Yan Qianyin sat down, and spoke in an apologetic tone, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, if not for your luck, I would have really let you down." Mo Wuji waved it off, "Let¡¯s just forget about the past." Yan Qianyin did not truly let him down; in fact, she gave him a huge deal of help. Mo Wuji was a person who cherishes old favours; he would definitely not be stingy to people who had helped him before. Yan Qianyin was indeed acting on her own self-interests, but who wasn¡¯t like that? Yan Qianyin and him also did not have any special relationship; the help she had rendered him was already very terrific. Mo Wuji''s living principle was to not ask too much of others. He would usually keep people who request for too much at arm''s length. He can interact with such people, but he wouldn''t befriend them. "Senior apprentice Yan, I still have many placings here. Feel free to take as much as you want." Mo Wuji went straight to the point. Yan Qianyin did not immediately respond. Instead, she retrieved a piece of paper and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, I believe that you would need this." Chapter 129: How People See Mo Wuji Chapter 129: How People See Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Mo Wuji opened the paper suspiciously. When he saw the contents on the paper, he immediately lifted his head and asked astoundedly, "The Earthly Soul Protecting Pill Formula? Senior apprentice sister Yan, you chose to concoct this pill in the competition?" Mo Wuji finally understood why Yan Qianyin had failed. He had concocted the Spirit Strengthening Pill, and he knew that it was far more difficult compared to other Tier 3 Mortal Pills. The Earthly Soul Protecting Pill was a Tier 4 Earth Pill, naturally, it would be exponentially harder. Furthermore, she had to use the low grade red firestone, and was restrained by the time limit of two hours. Her failure was not without reason. "Senior apprentice sister Yan, with your abilities, if you chose a typical Tier 4 pill, you would have succeeded ah." Mo Wuji said a little doubtfully. Because he needed the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill didn''t mean that Yan Qianyin needed it too. Yan Qianyin laughed faintly, "I was just taking a gamble. If I succeeded, I would very likely enter the top 10. If I failed, didn''t you already promise me some placings? Also, I thought that you would need this pill formula." "Many thanks senior apprentice sister Yan. I will gratefully accept this pill formula then. Just tell me how many placings you need, I have many in excess. Also, I have one question: why does senior apprentice sister say that I need this pill formula?" Mo Wuji poured this burning question out from his heart. Yan Qianyin laughed once more, "Others do not know your cultivation and would definitely think that you''re at the Great Circle of Channel Opening, or even half a step into Spirit Building. However, I''m very cognizant that you are only at Channel Opening Stage Level 4. For a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator to purify the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit, or to even concoct Tier 3 Mortal Pills, definitely isn''t possible with cultivation alone. Furthermore, you''re not some experienced old fogey, so I believe that the only possible reason is that you''ve cultivated your spiritual will. With your cultivation, even with your spiritual will, concocting Tier 3 pills would still be difficult, so this pill would definitely be very useful for you. However, I knew that you definitely wouldn''t choose that pill because of Yan''Er. So I decided to simply help you." Mo Wuji''s heart started pounding; he really had to depend on his spiritual will to concoct pills. It was as Yan Qianyin said, others must definitely think that he was an existence at the Great Circle of Channel Opening or even half a step into Spirit Building. And Yan Qianyin knew that his cultivation back when he was at the Formless Blade Mountain was merely Channel Opening Stage Level 3. According to her logical deduction, with his poor quality spiritual roots, his advancements should not be too fast, and he should at most be at Channel Opening Stage Level 4. It was precisely because of this deduction that Yan Qianyin inferred that Mo Wuji had trained his spiritual will. It was akin to a shot in the dark, but Yan Qianyin guessed correctly: he really did cultivate his spiritual will. However, his cultivation wasn''t merely in Channel Opening Stage Level 4 but Channel Opening Stage Level 8. Mo Wuji stood up and took a bow, "I did not have some spiritual will cultivation technique, but I did manage to develop some spiritual will by chance. Senior apprentice sister Yan, please help me keep this a secret." Mo Wuji truly did not have a spiritual will cultivation method. But he did have the Spirit Strengthening Pill, and he could not easily take that out. Yan Qianyin smiled, "Have I never helped you keep a secret? You don''t need to worried. You can keep this pill formula. Previously, I underestimated you, but now I''m sure that you would definitely be a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. Regarding the bracelets, I only need three. I need one for myself and the other two are for Sect Head Gu Ran. After this Five Elements Desolate Domain, I will be leaving the Formless Blade Sect, so I need to return his favour he¡¯s given me over the years." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to take out four bracelets and passed it to Yan Qianyin, "Many thanks senior apprentice sister Yan for helping me again. I have one more bracelet here, I will need to trouble senior apprentice sister to help me pass it to Qin Chen." Qin Xiangyu''s cultivation was too low, so Mo Wuji did not pass a bracelet to her. Thus, he would give the bracelet to Qin Chen instead. After all, he owed her a favour. Even though Qin Chen might have some biases against him, he would still need to repay the favour. "Rest assured, I will get it done." Yan Qianyin also wasn''t overly courteous. From a certain perspective, she did intentionally pick the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill to help Mo Wuji. This was also because she did not manage to fulfil her previous promise with Mo Wuji which filled her heart with a tinge of guilt. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, there''s another person outside who wishes to meet you." By the door, Fei Bingzhu called out again. Yan Qianyin stood up, "The bracelets in your hands will definitely be very popular in the next two days. Remember that the value of this bracelet is very high, so don''t sell it out for a cheap price. I''ll take my leave first. Maybe we might meet again in the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Mo Wuji sent Yan Qianyin to the door, and he saw who had come to meet him: Qu Wan¡¯Er. Back on the ship, Qu Wan''Er helped him out once. At Chang Luo, Qu Wan''Er helped him again. He believed Qu Wan''Er to be a proud person, if it was for something ordinary, she definitely wouldn''t have taken the initiative to find him. Now that Qu Wan''Er had come, it meant that entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain was very important to her. "Mo Wuji greets Senior Qu as well as this senior. Please enter." Mo Wuji recognised Qu Wan''Er but not the black bearded elder by her side. Since he had come together with Qu Wan''Er, he should be someone close to her. "Pill Master Mo, this is my master. My arrival must have disturbed you, I''m truly¡­" Qu Wan''Er was speaking awkwardly, she truly did not know what to say. In her eyes, Mo Wuji and her should have been people from two different worlds; worlds which were as different as the gap between Heaven and Earth. Helping Mo Wuji was a natural thing; it was like how immortals bestowed fire onto mortals. However, she - an immortal - was now seeking help from him - a mortal. It would be weird if she wasn''t awkward. On the other hand, the black bearded elder acted very casually as he laughed and said, "Pill Master Mo, I am the Heavenly Temple''s 16th Elder, Zhan Yuanji. I''m also Wan¡¯Er¡¯s master. I hope that you''re not disturbed by our visit today." Mo Wuji eagerly said, "Senior Qu had helped me immensely before. Your visit here is my pleasure. Please come take a sit." Zhan Yuanji''s gaze landed on Qu Wan''Er, but Qu Wan''Er''s eyes were darting around, not meeting her master''s gaze. Zhan Yuanji helplessly said, "Pill Master Mo is so young, yet your understanding towards the Pill Dao is so profound. Your future is truly limitless." Mo Wuji chuckled, "Senior exaggerates. I''m limited by my innate talent. For me to advance is far harder than others." "You''re really in the Channel Opening Stage?" Qu Wan''Er finally retracted her gaze and focused her attention onto Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded and sighed, "I''m really in the Channel Opening Stage, but my achievements today required me to exert painstaking effort and I had to go through countless life and death experiences." Mo Wuji wasn''t kidding when he said that. To advance his cultivation, he needed to perforate new meridians, which was an extremely difficult process. He was not wrong about the life and death experiences, he had to constantly get shocked by lightning in order to open his meridians. Yuan Zhenji¡¯s gaze swept across Mo Wuji before he sighed. Standing so near to Mo Wuji, he could make a clear evaluation. His body did not emanate a hint of spirituality, but an aura of mortality. Mo Wuji truly did not have impressive spiritual roots, much less lightning affinity ones. What a pity. He was still guessing whether Mo Wuji had unique affinity spiritual roots. If Mo Wuji did, coupled with his talent as a pill refiner, Yuan Zhenji might have tied Qu Wan¡¯Er and Mo Wuji together. Since Mo Wuji had typical spiritual roots, he was naturally not a match for Qu Wan¡¯Er. He felt such a great pity that his alchemy talent was wasted by his poor innate roots. Seeing that Qu Wan¡¯Er remained silent for some time, Yuan Zhenji said, "Pill Master Mo, Wan¡¯Er and I are here today because¡­" He did not wish to continue wasting anymore time, Yuan Zhenji intended to immediately ask about the jade bracelets and leave as soon as possible. Mo Wuji had already predicted the reason for Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s visit. Before Yuan Zhenji even finished his sentence, Mo Wuji took the initiative to pass a bracelet over to Qu Wan¡¯Er, "Senior Qu, my luck is not bad, and I managed to obtain some placings. I¡¯ll give this one to Senior Qu." "Many thanks Pill Master Mo. How many spirit stones is this worth? I will give¡­" Qu Wan¡¯Er carefully accepted the bracelet. She was still unsure of how to pop the question, and she did not expect that Mo Wuji would simply pass it to her. Mo Wuji laughed lightly, "Senior Qu, you¡¯ve helped me out before, and did not ask for anything in return. If I had to take Senior Qu¡¯s spirit stones for a simple bracelet, I, Mo Wuji, would be far too ungrateful." Since Mo Wuji had put it that way, Qu Wan¡¯Er no longer mentioned spirit stones, but embarrassedly expressed her gratitude. Yuan Zhenji understood his own disciple, and knew that she definitely did not wish to stay there. He also did not expect for things to go so smoothly, so he simply stood up and said, "Pill Master Mo, Wan¡¯Er and I did come here for the bracelet. Since Pill Master Mo isn¡¯t willing to accept spirit stones, if you meet with any difficulty, you can find me at the Heavenly Temple. We¡¯ll no longer disturb Pill Master Mo." After sending Yuan Zhenji and Qu Wan¡¯Er off, Mo Wuji shook his head. If that Yuan Zhenji truly intended to help him, he would not have simply said that sentence. At the very least, he could offer some sort of identification token for Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji did not mind as he had never intended to look for Yuan Zhenji for help. ¡­ "Master, you said that Pill Master Mo can always look for you, but why didn¡¯t you leave behind your identity token?" After leaving the Nine Moons Pill House encampment, Qu Wan¡¯Er regained her usual countenance. Yuan Zhenji sighed before saying,"His spiritual roots should indeed be of low grade. It might even be the lowest of low grade spiritual roots. He must have encountered some luck to be able to cultivate to the late levels of the Channel Opening Stage. However, this is where it ends, so he definitely wouldn¡¯t go to the Heavenly Temple." "Then, you¡­" Qu Wan¡¯Er gave her master a baffled look. Yuan Zhenji said directly, "Those were just empty words. Even if he did go to the Heavenly Temple, what would I gain by helping him? Even though his cultivation talent is horrible, he understands a bit about human relations. Didn¡¯t you see him offer you the bracelet even before I opened my mouth? He is a pill refiner with little hopes of advancing his cultivation, but he was entitled by the Nine Moons Pill House to allocate one or two bracelets. This meant that he must have some capabilities. Naturally, he would understand the intention behind my words. He also offered the bracelet to repay your help. After this, the two of you will be clear from all your ties." Yuan Zhenji did not know that Mo Wuji did not merely get to allocate one or two bracelets; he could allocate all of his bracelets. If he did, he would not have been in such a rush to leave. "But the help I offered and the help he returned are not on the same level¡­" Qu Wan¡¯Er was still a little troubled. Yuan Zhenji chuckled, "That¡¯s just from your perspective. Let¡¯s stop thinking about such useless matters. Even though we already have a bracelet, we can still get some from the sect." The Heavenly Temple had a pill refiner who was at 84th place, so there were still 17 available bracelets. Chapter 130: Five Elements Desolate Domain’s Bracelets Sale Chapter 130: Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s Bracelets Sale Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: When things finally quietened down, Mo Wuji took out his storage bag once again. He had longed for a storage bag for a really long time and his wish finally came through today. As for how to refine the storage bag, Mo Wuji did not have the chance to ask Zhen Shaoke so he could only figure it out himself. Zhen Shaoke said that he would be able to use the storage bag only after he reached the Spirit Building Stage. However, Mo Wuji thought otherwise, as he had the power of spiritual will even in the Channel Opening Stage. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will penetrated through. Even though he had never refined such an item before, he was met with a mark the moment his spiritual will came in contact with the storage bag. Without any consideration, he immediately started refining this mark. After just half an hour, Mo Wuji managed to make it his own mark. At this moment, Mo Wuji could clearly feel that the storage bag truly belonged to him now. If anyone else¡¯s spiritual will was to penetrate through, he would be able to detect it. Concurrently, Mo Wuji was also able to understand why Zhen Shaoke said that the storage bag could only be controlled using one¡¯s will. This storage bag was a botched trick used by low level cultivators. Different people possessed different level of will power in which some were stronger than the others. Those with stronger will power would be able to control the things inside the storage bag. Those cultivators with weaker will had to make use of their Yuan force to use the storage bag. And as for a space object like the storage bag, the longer one used his Yuan force to control, the shorter one¡¯s life would be. If one was to reach the Spirit Building Stage and had not cultivated his spiritual will, it was still possible to refine the storage bag. Once the storage bag was refined, it would be much easier to control the items inside. Mo Wuji could not help but sigh. Spiritual will is such a great thing. Without his spiritual will, he would never have become a Tier 3 pill refiner, been able to purify the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit as well as use the storage bag properly. After keeping the storage bag, Mo Wuji took out the golden silk bag containing the Five Elements Desolate Domain bracelets. He had a total of 51 bracelets at the start. Zhen Shaoke took 25, Yan Qianyin took 4, Qu Wan¡¯Er took 1 and after keeping 1 for himself, there were still 20 bracelets left. Having participated in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition, Mo Wuji saw that there were a lot of people who longed for the bracelet. There were at least a few hundred thousand people who came over and there was still a steady stream of people flooding in. The total number of bracelets given out was only a few thousand; there was clearly more demand than supply of the bracelets. The 20 bracelets in his hand would surely amount to a fortune. As for how to turn these bracelets into things that he needed, Mo Wuji decided to listen to Zhen Shaoke¡¯s advice. After all, Zhen Shaoke had so many more years of experience doing business here than himself. "Senior apprentice brother Mo, Young House Master brought a person over and he¡¯s asking if you¡¯re free," Just as Mo Wuji was about to find Zhen Shaoke, Fei Bingzhu reported that Zhen Shaoke was here. "Bingzhu, you¡¯ve worked hard. Please go and rest while Shaoke and I talk," Mo Wuji guessed that Zhen Shaoke was here because of the bracelets. Fei Bingzhu laughed and said spiritedly, "I am not tired at all. To be honest, I never thought I would ever have a day as spectacular as today. Young House Master gave me a treasured mortal technique which I will begin making use of now. Spirit Building Stage shall be my ultimate goal." Mo Wuji laughed and said, "You are not ambitious at all. Don¡¯t worry, after I return from the Five Elements Desolate Domain, our targets will be further than what they are now." Mo Wuji knew that Zhen Shaoke gave Fei Bingzhu the treasured mortal technique because he wanted to show some face. A person who knew how to give and take was a person worthy of befriending. "I do believe," Fei Bingzhu nodded his head in determination and then stood to the side. When he was escaping from the Formless Blade Sect with Mo Wuji, he did not consider what the future would be like. However, he was all the more sure that Mo Wuji was a man with high aspirations and as long as he followed behind senior apprentice brother Mo, he would have a great future too. How many people were able to compete and get into the top 100 of the Five Elements Pill Competition? No, how many sects were even able to get into the top 100? Furthermore, senior apprentice brother Mo came in the top 50. To think that half a year ago, he was still discussing with the many other service disciples about the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition and now he was standing on the competition square itself. If his cultivation level was a little higher, he could easily get into the Five Elements Desolate Domain too. One had to know that these placings were not something a heavenly disciple could easily get and here he could just greet senior apprentice brother Mo to get this opportunity. It was a pity that his cultivation level was really way too low such that entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain meant seeking death. "Wuji, I hope I did not disturb you," Zhen Shaoke was all smiling away and even though they only separated for a while, Mo Wuji could feel the difference in his feelings from the smile on his face. It seemed as though in just an hour, Zhen Shaoke managed to reap good rewards. "No worries, I was just preparing to go out¡­" Mo Wuji originally decided to find Zhen Shaoke but after seeing the people beside Zhen Shaoke, he quickly changed his words. From his experience, Mo Wuji could tell that the people beside Zhen Shaoke had the wits and capabilities of a businessman. It was highly likely that Zhen Shaoke brought these people here for the Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s bracelets. He would be able to fetch higher prices if people were to find him instead of the other way round. "Wuji, let me introduce them to you. This is the person in charge of the five big empire¡¯s biggest chamber of commerce One Dao House. His name is Deacon Lu Peng," Zhen Shaoke introduced as he pointed to the middle-aged man beside him. Before waiting for Mo Wuji to say anything, the middle-aged man cupped his fist and said, "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯ve admired you for a long time. Even though you are not placed first or even the top 10 in the pill competition, you left the deepest impression on me. I, Lu Peng, visited suddenly. I hope Pill Master Mo does not mind." Lu Peng had an average built and other than being witty and capable, he had a crowd-pleasing face. The way businessmen spoke really enlightened people, Mo Wuji laughed and said, "I am very happy to meet deacon Lu. I just happen to be very fortunate, that''s all. Shaoke and Deacon Lu, please take a seat." After the three of them settled down, Lu Peng started laughing and initiated the conversation, "Pill Master Mo, I believe you know the purpose of my visit. There are three days before the opening of the Five Elements Desolate Domain and these three days will be the most intense in terms of fighting for the placings to enter the domain. Most sects will not even have enough placings for themselves, hence there will be very little sects that will have extra placings to give out. I was very excited when I heard that you get to choose who you want to give the placings to. Pill Master Mo, if you hand these placings to One Dao House, we will make sure these placings fetch a satisfying price for you." "Wuji, Deacon Lu is a very trustworthy person," Zhen Shaoke added. Mo Wuji did trust Zhen Shaoke¡¯s words as he immediately replied, "Deacon Lu¡¯s right. I was intending on selling these 20 bracelets away¡­" "There are still 20 bracelets? Don¡¯t worry, I have an auction sale here before the opening of the Five Elements Desolate Domain. If you were to hand these bracelets to me, I am confident I can help you sell at the highest possible price," After hearing Mo Wuji had another 20 bracelets, Lu Peng could not be any more ecstatic. Zhen Shaoke said, "Wuji, I suggest you follow down to the auction sale. Even though the Five Elements Desolate Domain is huge, and about a thousand over people can go in at once, you have to watch out for the demonic beast and poison fog. You even have to be careful of some underhanded tactics by some cultivators. You could choose some self protection tactics and gadgets like some talisman, magic treasures, etc." Mo Wuji had no prior experience on such things so he did not consider all of these possibilities. Now that Zhen Shaoke reminded him, with so many people entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain at once, there were bound to be robbers. Moreover, his cultivation level was low, so all the more he had to be careful. "All right, I will hand these over to you and I will head towards the auction sale too. When exactly will this auction be held?" Mo Wuji handed the golden silk bag to Lu Peng and tagged along for the auction sale. Lu Peng took out and handed a jade slip to Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, this jade slip allows you to enter any of my One Dao House¡¯s auction sale for free. Thank you Pill Master Mo for your trust and this jade slip is for you. The auction sale will be held tomorrow night at One Dao House¡¯s auction place." After sending Lu Peng off, Zhen Shaoke took out yet another bag to pass to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I sold the extra bracelets on behalf of my friendship to my friends. These are 1000 earth graded spirit stones which you could use in the auction sale. Furthermore, the slip that Lu Peng gave you is quite something. Not only can it get you into any auction sale, you can also use it to overdraw some credits. You must not lose it." "That much?" Mo Wuji knew that a thousand earth graded spirit stones were equivalent toten thousand xuan graded spirit stones or ten thousand huang graded spirit stones. This was a fortune he never had. Furthermore, people usually used earth graded spirit stones to exchange for the xuan graded spirit stones and not the other way round. "This is nothing much. Because I wanted to make some friends, I used the lowest possible price to sell these bracelets to them. At the auction sale, you will realise that these bracelets will be able to fetch prices up to even a few hundred fold. I told you before, the Flower of the True Gods is not the most valuable item in the domain. After entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, there wouldn¡¯t be anyone who returns alive with nothing in their hands," Zhen Shaoke said in a cautious tone. "All right, I will accept it then," Mo Wuji knew that without any spirit stones on his body, it would be tough for him to buy the things that he was interested in. He had to prepare himself before entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain. ... The whole Five Element Desolate Domain square became a crowded and noisy market with people asking for bracelets everywhere. After someone found out that number 632 belonged to Nine Moons Pill House, there was a crowd that surrounded the Nine Moons Pill House. Afterwards, Zhen Shaoke needed to step out and said that all 51 bracelets were distributed before the crowd decided to disperse. After hearing that all bracelets were distributed, nobody bothered to find out who pill master number 632 was. He was at best a pill refiner representing Nine Moons Pill House. Mo Wuji was not aware of such things because after he handed the bracelets to Lu Peng, he went to have a chat with Yan¡¯Er. Afterwards, he stayed at his house to research on the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill because this was very important to him. Similar to the Spirit Strengthening Pill, he could concoct this so concocting Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills should be easy for him. However, the only drawback was that the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill itself was a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill. To be able to concoct this, he had to advance to a Tier 4 Earth pill refiner. There were three main spiritual herbs for the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill: Dynasty Wood Jaded Bud, Glowing Fruit and Icy Radish Grass. The value of these three spiritual herbs were definitely not low at all. The rest of the Tier 4 and 3 spiritual herbs could all be bought easily. Mo Wuji thought for a while before writing a clear list of herbs for Zhen Shaoke to buy. Chapter 131: One Dao House Auction Chapter 131: One Dao House Auction Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: People heading to the Five Elements Desolate Domain were clear of one thing, even though there were more than a thousand placings to enter the desolate domain, the value of each playing could not be underestimated. Each and every one of those placings were invaluable, and sects definitely wouldn''t put them up for sale. A few people had to depend heavily on their relations in order to obtain a placing, and they were still need to offer up a large fortune for it. To think that the One Dao House''s final auction would actually release 20 Five Elements Desolate Domain jade bracelets out for sale. These were placings for the Five Elements Desolate Domain, so who would be willing to sell them? But this was precisely what was happening now. Cultivators heading to the Five Elements Desolate Domain were all admiring the One Dao House''s capabilities, and at the same time, finding any means to enter the auction. As Mo Wuji walked to the entrance of the One Dao House auction venue, he was in utter disbelief. The entire entrance was flooded with people, and many were still finding ways to purchase tickets to enter the auction. Unfortunately, there weren''t any scalpers, so they naturally couldn''t get any tickets. Don''t tell me all this people are here for the 20 Five Elements Desolate Domain placings? With so many people, not even 2000 placings are enough ah, much less 20? Mo Wuji suddenly felt as though he had always been underestimating the value of the Five Elements Desolate Domain bracelet, or more accurately, the value of Five Elements Desolate Domain. It looks like besides looking for the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, he needed to use this opportunity to improve his foundations in cultivation. "Stop, the auction is starting soon. Those without tickets are to leave immediately." As Mo Wuji was walking into the entrance, he was stopped by two cultivators. Mo Wuji raised the jade token which Lu Peng gave him, "I have this, so there shouldn''t be any problems right?" Seeing the jade token in Mo Wuji''s hand, one of the cultivators hastily said, "Of course there¡¯s no problem. Esteemed guest, please follow me." Not bad. Mo Wuji kept the jade token and followed the cultivator into the auction venue. Once inside, Mo Wuji got a bigger shock. The number of people outside was inundating, but the number inside wasn''t few either; it was a huge patch of black. The cultivator brought Mo Wuji to the second floor, into box 76. This was when he said, "Esteemed guest, please enter. If you need anything, you can just call for help." As Mo Wuji entered, he found that not only was the space not small, the box had a view encompassing the entire lower hall. After the cultivator left, Mo Wuji closed his box door and sighed at this amazing Lu Peng had given him. In this auction where obtaining tickets itself was onerous, Mo Wuji could actually get a box, it was simply a luxury. Besides two chairs within the box, there was even a small bed for rest. In front of the chairs, there was a table. On the table there was a light board. Mo Wuji was no longer a stranger in this world, he knew that this light board should be some sort of transfer array. By the side of the light board, there was a red lever which was labelled ¡®Anonymous Purchase¡¯. Without the need for explanations, Mo Wuji already knew the purpose of the level: it should be used to purchase things without revealing the buyer¡¯s name. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to pull the red lever down. Regardless of what he was going to buy, it would be best to remain anonymous. Mo Wuji sat down and calmly awaited the start of the auction. He did not wait for long, in less than an incense¡¯s time, a clear, crisp gong sounded from the auction venue. After this crisp gone, the various sounds of discussion in the hall disappeared as everyone quietened down. Everyone was on the edge of their seats, preparing themselves to purchase the things they needed during this auction. A cylindrical crystal altar, around 3 metres wide, rose from the ground. On the top of the crystal altar, there was a big screen which could be seen from all directions. This One Dao House was truly rich and powerful; under impromptu conditions, they managed to host such a grand auction. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up the crystal altar. He clasped his fists towards the crowd in all directions before saying loudly, "The Five Elements Desolate Domain will soon be opened. I believe that all the geniuses entering the desolate domain would wish to have more self-protection treasures, and our One Dao House Auction is specially here to provide that service. I am One Dao House''s Bin Shiqi, and I will be the host for this auction. Besides the 20 Five Elements Desolate Domain bracelets which all of you already know about, there are even more mystical treasures awaiting you. Time is if the essence, so I will stop with the chitchat and begin the auction. The first item is a set of poison antidote pills; there are a total of 12 pills in the set, and they are all Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills. The starting price is 300 Xuan grade spirit stones, and price increments are no lower than 20." As Bin Shiqi''s speech entered, the price of the set of poison antidote pills rose rapidly. Soon, it rushed to 500 Xuan grade spirit stones. Mo Wuji could not help but acknowledge the reason why pill refiners were so rich. This poison antidote pills were the most ordinary of Tier 4 pills, but they were worth so much. Even though this set of pills might be useful against the poison fog in the desolate domain, Mo Wuji did not have any intentions of buying it. He was a pill refiner himself, so why would he purchase the pills concocted by others? As for poison antidote pills, he had at least three kinds of them in his storage bag. Ultimately, the set of poison antidote pills were purchased with 630 Xuan grade spirit stones. After the first transaction ended, a lady brought a jade tray out onto the altar. Bin Shiqi picked up something extremely small from the tray and raised it up, "This is a low grade spiritual item: self-disguising mask. The starting price is 3,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, and increments are no less than 100. Let the bids begin." Mo Wuji secretly cursed, Spiritual equipment are actually so expensive? A low grade spiritual equipment like a self-disguising mask was priced at 3,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Moreover, this was just the starting price; the final price would be a lot higher. Being a smith really had bright prospects ah, it seemed to have a better future as compared to pill refining. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Despite this, he still did not intend to learn smithing. He was primarily able to concoct pills because of his previous occupation as a botanist and biologist. Later on, he was also got lucky when Shen Lian gave him the wordless pill manual. He might not have as much luck when it comes to smithing. However, this self-disguise mask aroused Mo Wuji¡¯s interest. His cultivation was too low; with this self-disguising mask, it would help make things safer. However, it was really a pity that its price was so high. Mo Wuji was momentarily hesitating over whether to purchase it. When the price of the self-disguising mask rose to 6,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, Mo Wuji gave up all hopes on bidding. He also knew how to simply disguise himself; although it wasn¡¯t at a master-level, it was not at a level where he needed to spend 6,000 Xuan grade spirit stones just to do it. The mask was eventually purchased anonymously for 8,700 Xuan grade spirit stones. The third item for action was another low grade spiritual equipment, a long saber. The starting price was already over 3,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, and Mo Wuji had no interests in it. The fourth was another set of pills¡­ Following which, the fifth, the sixth¡­ all the way to the 11th item were put out for sale, but they weren''t things Mo Wuji wanted. "Next, we have the Tier 5 Ice Burst Talisman. Although this talisman can only be used once, it would be enough to handle any opponent under the True Lake Stage. Even against a True Lake Stage cultivator, you might even be able to give him a run for his money. This talisman¡¯s starting price is 4,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, each increment is no less than 100¡­" Bin Shiqi¡¯s words made Mo Wuji lament deeply; he truly wanted this talisman, but he only had a total of 10,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. In a split moment, the price of the talisman rose to 6,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. As Mo Wuji thought about how the jade token¡¯s overdraft function, and as he was reminded about his measly cultivation, he decided to purchase this talisman. "7,300 Xuan grade spirit stones," Mo Wuji wrote this price on the bid quotation card. Immediately, the price rose to 7,500. "9,000 Xuan grade spirit stones," Mo Wuji directly raised the price by 1,500. His cultivation was weak, and he could not do without such self-protecting means. This price seemed a bit excessive. After all, the Ice Burst Talisman was only for a one-time use. Bin Shiqi¡¯s voice sounded, "Someone anonymous offered 9,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, are there any higher offers? 9,000, going once¡­" Mo Wuji focused his attention worriedly onto the screen; if someone offered more than 9,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, he would have to give up. After all, this was just the beginning. He couldn¡¯t spend all 10,000 Xuan grade spirit stones he had on him on just this talisman, right? "9,000 going thrice, deal closed." After Bin Shiqi shouted those last two words, Mo Wuji could finally heave a sigh of relief. Immediately, a line of words appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s light board: Please place 9,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Mo Wuji had never taken part in high class auctions, but he had heard of them. Seeing this line of words, he knew that the light board was truly a small scale transfer array. While Mo Wuji knew that his token could overdraft funds, doing so would no longer make him anonymous. Luckily, he had enough spirit stones on him. Mo Wuji placed 900 Earth grade spirit stones on the light board, and in the split of an eye, the 900 spirit stones disappeared under the envelope of faint light. At the same time, a jade box appeared on the light board. Mo Wuji opened the jade box; there was truly a talisman within. Strong spiritual energy circulated around the talisman, and there even seemed to be rows of lines intersecting on the talisman. A forceful aura of the ice affinity emanated from the talisman; although it hadn¡¯t been activated, Mo Wuji could still feel chilling waves surging over. Those 900 Earth grade spirit stones truly did not go to waste. If he were to meet with danger in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, this thing could safe his life. "Next, we¡¯ll be selling what all of you have been waiting for¡­ one Five Elements Desolate Domain bracelet¡­" Bin Shiqi¡¯s voice sounded into his room, and Mo Wuji hurried to keep his Ice Burst Talisman. The Five Elements Desolate Domain talisman was his item, he naturally needed to pay attention to it¡¯s price. The higher it could go for, the more things he could buy later. "... Five Elements Desolate Domain bracelets start at 100,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, increments are no less than 1,000 Xuan grade spirit stones¡­" Hearing the price, Mo Wuji let out a breath of cold air. No wonder why Zhen Shaoke told him that his 1,000 Earth grade spirit stones was already a really low price. Here, the starting price was 100,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, and it was merely the starting price. This was far too brutal. Chapter 132: Threatened Chapter 132: Threatened Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "150,000 Xuan grade spirit stones!" It was right after Bin Shiqi¡¯s words that someone else shouted a higher bid. The auction sale allowed people to keep quiet and write their quoted price and then flashed it on the bidding screen. Similarly, it did not restrict people from shouting their bids out to increase one¡¯s imposing manner. Right after this cultivator shouted 150,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, the venue momentarily went quiet. The previous price was 100,000 and an increase of 50,000 spirit stones was indeed brutal. "160,000 Xuan grade spirit stones¡­" After Bin Shiqi¡¯s call, someone else finally raised his bid. Perhaps he felt embarrassed if he were to raise his bid by a little, so he raised it by 10,000 spirit stones. "300,000 Xuan grade spirit stones!" The person who shouted was the same cultivator who had raised the bid by 50,000 spirit stones the previous time. This time, he shouted with more passion and raised his bid by 140,000 spirit stones. One could imagine that if there was anyone willing to raise the bid again, he would definitely raise it to 400,000 spirit stones without hesitation. The quotation of 300,000 spirit stones shook many people. Maybe it was not the amount itself that shook people but the increase in price. For something only worth 100,000, an increase of 160,000 spirit stones in one call was really unbelievable even if it was a representative for a sect to auction for a bracelet. How badly must one want the bracelet? One could imagine that if someone was to increase the bid yet again, this fight would definitely cause both sides to suffer. "Someone has bidded 300,000 spirit stones, are there any higher bids? If there aren¡¯t any, this Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s bracelet will belong to this friend here. 300,000 Xuan grade spirit stones calling once¡­ calling twice¡­ calling thrice¡­ deal!" After the word ¡®deal¡¯ was shouted, Bin Shiqi put down the wooden gavel as the first Five Elements bracelet had finally been sold. Mo Wuji sighed, if one bracelet could sell for 300,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, how many could 20 bracelets sell for? Without question, he would really strike it big this time round. "What we will be auctioning now will be an incomplete magic skill as there is only one style in it. The pity is that this one is not complete, hence we do not know the grade it belongs to. However, based on our experience, this is at least Earth grade elite tier and above¡­" This announcement was greeted with cheers from the crowd because as long as it is Earth grade and above, it was a treasure. Even if it was incomplete, it would still attract countless of people to fight for it. One had to know that even a Treasured Mortal Grade technique was rare, so what more of a Earth Grade magic skill. However, the incompleteness of this magic skill was too ridiculous because if there was only one style and was incomplete, how were people going to fight for it? Mo Wuji predicted that even the price of this incomplete skill would not be too low as he had never seen a skill or technique that was Earth grade. Even if the magic skill was of a top grade, Mo Wuji did not intend to make a move. He believed he had seen the world here at the auction sale. He knew that for a real treasure, not even a few hundred thousand or a figure with a few more zeros behind would be considered a lot. Spirit stones had to be used sparingly and not splurged. But this Five Elements Pill Competition was not something you see day to day, so who knew what the future would bring? "This incomplete magic skill is called Seven Style Lightning Sky. Its minimum bid is 50,000 Xuan grade spirit stones and each increment must not be less than a 1,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. The auction shall begin now," Bin Shiqi¡¯s voice sounded out from the auction stage. Mo Wuji was not intending on purchasing the skill but immediately changed his mind the moment he heard it was the Seven Style Lightning Sky. He did not consider himself to have any skills at all as the Revolving Star Passage Technique could not really be called a skill. Invisible Sword might be a sword art but he had not really practiced it yet. If it was any other incomplete skill, he would definitely not care or purchase it. His body had accumulated lightning sources and therefore, a lightning affinity magic skill could be very important to him. This was the magic skill that he wanted. "52,000 Xuan grade spirit stones," Mo Wuji was the first to bid. "80,000 Xuan grade spirit stones!" The moment Mo Wuji placed his bid, a rough voice sounded across the entire scene afterwhich the bidding screen displayed 80,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Even if it was the complete Seven Style Lightning Sky, 800,000 would not be enough. However, for an incomplete lightning affinity skill which only contained one style, a bid of 50,000 Xuan grade spirit stones was not considered low while 80,000 was far too ridiculous. Therefore, when this bid was out, nobody else dared to increase it except for Mo Wuji. This increment of 28,000 Xuan grade spirit stones might have scared others but definitely not Mo Wuji. There were three types of people who would increase the bid like that. The first type would be a poor person who did not have this much spirit stones to begin with and his only intention would be to scare the rest. The second type would be a very wealthy person who could not be bothered to haggle over every penny. The third type would be a person who longed for the item very badly. From what Mo Wuji saw, the person who increased 140,000 in one bid for the bracelet previously should be the third type. "80,000 Xuan grade spirit stones calling once¡­ 90,000 Xuan grade spirit stones! Someone there has increased the bid yet again," Bin Shiqi only called out once before a person increased his bid to 90,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. "150,000 Xuan grade spirit stones," That same rough voice increased the bid once again and this time his tone was a bit more aggressive. The increment of 60,000 was to indicate his unhappiness towards Mo Wuji¡¯s bid. "160,000 Xuan grade spirit stones," Mo Wuji would not budge at all because when he found something useful to him and he had enough spirit stones with him, why should he let someone else have it? "My friend, are you sure you want to go against my Yu Lin Lightning Clan? This lightning skill is only useful for my lightning clan so I hope this friend here will go easy on us and we will be really appreciative. If you have to go against us then we are bound to meet again¡­" Before this rough voiced man could finish his sentence, Bin Shiqi interrupted, "We, One Dao House¡¯s auction do not allow any form of threatening. If you were to continue, I will have to invite you out." The man seemed to realise how powerful One Dao House was and as he had said what he needed to say, he casually shouted "170,000 Xuan grade spirit stones." Mo Wuji could not believe there were still people like him. An auction was supposedly a place where people compete with each other and it was very normal to outbid each other to win the auction. In fact, every time this fella increases his bid, it is in hundreds of thousand and he dare say I¡¯m going against his lightning clan? Is his lightning clan even impressive because I have not heard of it before. "171,000 Xuan grade spirit stones," Mo Wuji increased his bid without any hesitation as he was bidding anonymously with nothing to be afraid of. Since you claimed that I¡¯m going against your lightning clan, I will not have mercy and I shall increase by a thousand each time. "Heh, you have guts," The guy with the rough voice did not continue increasing his bid as it seemed like he reached his limit. Bin Shiqi called out three times but still nobody increased the bid. Therefore, the Seven Style Lightning Sky belonged to Mo Wuji now. Mo Wuji realised that he did not carry so many spirit stones with him only after Bin Shiqi said ¡®deal¡¯. He bidded anonymously so what should he do if he did not have enough spirit stones? At the same moment, he saw the light board on the table in front of him lighting up as it showed "Deal is above 100,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, please complete the transaction at the back of the auction place before leaving the venue." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. In no time, Mo Wuji understood the reason for doing so. If he were to transfer all 170,000 Xuan grade spirit stones via the light board, it would take about one hour to do so. Nobody bothered about the insignificant man who threatened Mo Wuji during the auction. This was a common scene in many auctions and such tactics were used often. As the auctions continued, Mo Wuji did not make his move anymore as he saw that most of the items were either medicinal pills or attack type magic treasures. The most intense auctions belonged to those that were offering the Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s bracelets. Every single bracelet resulted in a fierce competition and the prices were all above 400,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Most auctions ended when the bid went above 500,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Mo Wuji could not help but admire the first person who bought the bracelet. This fella increased his bid so ridiculously that it frightened the others and he ended up purchasing the bracelet for only 300,000 spirit stones. "The next item on our auction will be a map and it depicts the way around a specific area in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Other than a stalk of Flower of the True Gods, this area also has more valuable treasures than the Flower of the True Gods. Back then, it was only because the cultivator who found it was not strong enough to retrieve it¡­" Once Bin Shiqi talked about this, the entire venue became extremely lively. This auctioned item made people even more excited than the bracelets did. Why did a lot of people desire to have the bracelets? Isn¡¯t it to find the Flower of the True Gods? Many sects have spent tremendous efforts to train their disciples to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain for the Flower of the True Gods too. Try imagining an expert at the Nihility God Stage advancing to the True God Stage and how much it could help the sect to improve their position. Now that the location of the Flower of the True Gods was to be auctioned, how could people not be interested? Furthermore, there was not only the Flower of the True Gods but something even more valuable than it too. There was a little excitement in Bin Shiqi¡¯s voice too as he raised his tone and said, "I believe that this item here has made everyone here crazily excited as it is indeed one of our secret treasures of the night. This map has about 80 to 90% credibility as the person who brought this map over swore upon his soul. The starting bid for this map would be 200,000 Xuan grade spirit stones and each increase has to be at least 100,000 spirit stones." Mo Wuji sighed as he realised how this spirit stones were easily spent. Just a map alone would cost a few hundred thousand spirit stones. He really should use his spirit stones more cautiously. As for this map, Mo Wuji had no intention to join in the bid. This was because he was not interested in the Flower of the True Gods and more importantly, he knew there was definitely more than one copy of this map. If that person could sell this map to One Dao House, this meant that he could also have sold it to the others. As long as there was more than one copy, even for those who owned the map and found the place, there would be a life and death battle to fight for the Flower of the True Gods there. Given his level of cultivation, even if he won the map, he would not dare to go locate it. Mo Wuji was not interested in the map even though a lot of people were. Very quickly, the price increased to 300,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. This map was eventually sold for 460,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Bin Shiqi was very satisfied with this price before he took out a pitch black item from a jaded plate held by a woman and said, "The next item we are going to auction for is a very precious treasure. It was something that I have personally longed for and I believe everyone would want it as much too¡­" Even Mo Wuji was intrigued by Bin Shiqi¡¯s words because for the whole of today, this was the first time Bin Shiqi used the word ¡®longed for¡¯ . Chapter 133: The Deadly Seven Style Lightning Sky Skill Chapter 133: The Deadly Seven Style Lightning Sky Skill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "This is a spiritual armour crafted using the Heaven Crow''s Natural Silk. This only drawback is that this armour is a low grade spiritual equipment." With that, he shook his hand and a thin outer upper garment appeared within it. The reason why he said it was a pity was because the Heaven Crow''s Natural Silk was an exceptional smithing material, and it was extremely hard to obtain. Typically, even the worse of smiths would result in intermediate grade spiritual equipment, the better ones would always be high grade. To actually craft this low grade spiritual equipment, would mean that this was a failed product. Mo Wuji immediately got tempted; this piece of garment could cover the entire region above the waist and below the neck. Clearly, this was no simple armour. Furthermore, in Mo Wuji''s heart, there was another use for this armour. When he''s making use of lightning to force open his meridians, this armour would lessen his pain. And this wasn''t the main point, if he were opening his meridians in the lightning lake, he might encounter sudden huge bursts of lightning. If he was unable to react in time, he would be screwed. After all, would the lightning bolts within the lightning lakes be like those in the lightning tempering room? Would it always remain in the same intensity? With this armour, even the most sudden of deadly lightning bolts would not immediately kill him. He had to have this armour, regardless of the price. "The starting price of this Heaven Crow''s Natural Silk Armour is 300,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, increments are no less than 10,000 spirit stones. Let the bids begin." "310,000 spirit stones!" "330,000 spirit stones!" ¡­ After Bin Shiqi announced the start of the bid, the price listed on the bidding screen rose endlessly without stop. Ostensibly, Mo Wuji was not the only one who had his eyes on this Heaven Crow''s Natural Silk Armour, many others were the same. "500,000 spirit stones!" When this bid appeared, the jumping prices slowed down significantly. 500,000 was a threshold, not anyone could casually produce that many spirit stones. "550,000 spirit stones!" Mo Wuji bidded, increasing the price by 50,000 spirit stones in a single go. However, he was very clear that this definitely wouldn''t be it''s final price. If he did not have enough spirit stones, then this would have been a very painful bidding process. Fortunately, he was not short of spirit stones. "600,000 spirit stones." Before Mo Wuji''s bid could fully form on the screen, it was immediately replaced with a new bid. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to write "650,000 Xuan grade spirit stones." With each increment at 50,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, this was no longer a playing field for ordinary people. Everyone in the auction venue knew that there were only two people left on this playing field. "1,000,000 spirit stones." Seemingly enraged by Mo Wuji''s unceasing raise of bids, the other competitor directly raised the price to one million. Mo Wuji remained unflustered and wrote 1,050,000 Xuan grade spirit stones on his bidding slip. His decision was already firm; even if the price got to 5,000,000 Xuan grade spirit stones, he would not give up. This Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour definitely wasn''t worth that much spirit stones. However, Mo Wuji did not buy things by just looking at the prices, but by how they could be of value to him. An attire which could readily protect his life, how could Mo Wuji still be stingy with his spirit stones? Naturally, spirit stones were valuable, but no matter how valuable they are, it won''t be as important as his life. The other party seemed to feel Mo Wuji''s determination to continue bidding for a long time. Furthermore, Mo Wuji raised 50,000 spirit stones at each bid, clearly, he''s not lacking money. More importantly, this price had already exceeded the value of the armour by huge margins. The moment Mo Wuji raised to 1,050,000 spirit stones, he stopped bidding. "Is there anybody else? 1,050,000 Xuan grade spirit stones going once, 1,050,000 Xuan grade spirit stones going twice¡­ 1,050,000 Xuan grade spirit stones going thrice, deal!" Bin Shiqi emotionally slammed his wooden gavel. The fact that the price of Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour could exceed 850,000 spirit stones was already out of his expectations. He never thought that it would even end up at 1,050,000 spirit stones. How could he not be emotional? The auction continued; there were several things that Mo Wuji wanted, but not vehemently. After a few failed bids, he would directly give up on them. Mo Wuji did not purchase anything else for the rest of the auction. When Bin Shiqi brought up the second mystical treasure, a high grade spiritual longsword, Mo Wuji still felt that it wasn''t as valuable as his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour. ¡­ When Mo Wuji finally returned to the Nine Moons Pill House encampment, it was already the afternoon on the next day. Mo Wuji, who only had a few pieces of low grade spirit stones, now had more than 10,000 Earth grade spirit stones and a spirit stone card on him. Subtracting the One Dao House auction fees and the prices of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky and the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour, his card still had 780,000 Earth grade spirit stones. This was equivalent to 7,800,000 Xuan grade spirit stones! This spirit stone card could be used at the various One Dao House branches to withdraw spirit stones, it was very convenient. If not for his storage bag being too small, he definitely would have kept all the spirit stones on himself. Back at his living quarters, Mo Wuji first spent an hour to equip the black Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour on himself before retrieving the incomplete Seven Styles Lightning Sky. The first few words on the leather scroll were still clear, but as you continued reading, the words started getting illegible. Mo Wuji could barely read the name of the first style: Electric Storm. Then, there was only one spiritual energy circulation diagram. Thereafter, the rest of the scroll was ripped off. The words of explanation couldn''t even be read at all. Mo Wuji shook his head. How was this the first style of an incomplete manual? There''s only two names ah. Oh, and that obscure circulation diagram. Still, this thing was purchased for an exorbitant price. Naturally, he wouldn''t simply throw it away. Clenching an Earth grade spirit stone in his hand, he started to circulate spiritual energy according to the diagram. Spiritual energy flowed smoothly within his meridian network. The spiritual energy brought a faint warmth as they perforated in his meridians. Mo Wuji celebrated. It looks like he was really suited to cultivate lightning affinity techniques and skills. This was just an incomplete lightning skill, but he seemed to be doing well in it. Mo Wuji''s glee did not last till three seconds; a terrifying pain burnt within his meridians. Yes, burnt. It felt like his meridians had been lit on fire by a red firestone. The tearing pain caused him to despair. "Putong!" Mo Wuji landed heavily onto the ground. Even though he had been using lightning to open his meridians, and had experienced various kinds of pain and torture, none could compare to what he was feeling now. At this moment, he felt like a fire was burning within his meridians, and this fire wanted to burn his body to ashes from the inside. Trails of lightning seeped out from his body, it was as though they were forced out by the fire in his meridians. They bombarded against the ground, ravaging and wrecking it. At this moment, Mo Wuji would pay to jump into a cave of ice and let the icy coldness permeate into his body. The impending sense of death shrouded Mo Wuji''s heart, and he dared not faint despite his pain. He clawed the hard soil on the ground and tried to maintain his consciousness. He suspected that if he were to fall unconscious, his life would just end there. After half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji managed to forcefully circulate using the Immortal Mortal Technique. The moment the technique was activated, the internal fire seemed to subside by a little. Mo Wuji finally had some space to breath, and started to madly circulate with the Immortal Mortal Technique. He found that the Immortal Mortal Technique had some ways to control the internal fire. After an incense''s time, the fire within his body had been completely extinguished and disappeared without a trace. Mo Wuji slowly staggered his way up. On the ground, besides the scars formed from the lightning expelled by his body, the rest were clawed by him. A pair of slender white hands was now riddled with scars. Even his nails had been completely peeled off. As he walked to the front of a mirror, Mo Wuji saw an extremely pale white face, and a completely wrecked attire. His heart was beating strongly, if not for the Immortal Mortal Technique, he would have been dead. With his bloodied hand, Mo Wuji grabbed the incomplete Seven Styles Lightning Sky and he had this unquenchable urge to rip it to pieces. If he knew that this thing would play with his life like that, he would have given it to the guy who threatened him. But this was bought with hundreds of thousands of Xuan grade spirit stones ah. In terms of the low grade spirit stones which he used previously, it would be in the millions. Mo Wuji ultimately did not bear to tear it apart and throw it away. Instead, he dumped it within his storage bag. Thereafter, Mo Wuji felt that there was something strange. This would be been a lightning skill; why did it feel like there was a fire burning when he started practising it? After contemplating for half a day, Mo Wuji still could not understand what was going on. Perhaps it was because this technique was not complete, which led to his spiritual energy corruption. "Wuji is not in?" Just as Mo Wuji sat down and poured himself a cup of water, Zhen Shaoke''s voice sounded from outside. Mo Wuji opened the door and saw Zhen Shaoke lugging a big bag. His emotions took a turn for the better. Zhen Shaoke should be here to deliver spiritual herbs. Before he left for the auction, he asked for a favour from Zhen Shaoke, he requested Zhen Shaoke to help him purchase the spiritual herbs required for the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill. "Wuji, this is?" Seeing Mo Wuji''s appearance, Zhen Shaoke momentarily got a shock. Mo Wuji looked like he had just climbed out from hell. Mo Wuji limply waved his hand, "I''m okay, I just met with some problems in cultivation. Shaoke, this must be the spiritual herbs?" "Senior apprentice sister Mu, he''s the Pill Master Mo you were speaking of?" A clear crisp voice could be heard. Mo Wuji noticed that there were two people standing not too far away. He recognized one of them, Mu Ying. By her side, was a young teenage girl with an oval face. The one speaking should have been her. Chapter 134: Entering The Five Elements Desolate Domain Chapter 134: Entering The Five Elements Desolate Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Zhen Shaoke hurried to make introductions, "Wuji, you should be familiar with Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda''s Pill Master Mu. This is the Heaven Seeking Palace Sword Lake''s Zuo Shaoyi." Between his words, Zhen Shaoke gestured between Mu Ying and the oval faced lady by her side. Mu Ying also smiled and said to the lady called Zuo Shaoyi, "Yes, he¡¯s the Pill Master Mo I wanted to introduce you to. Not only is his attainment in the Pill Dao high, he also has a big heart." Heaven Seeking Palace''s cheap goods? [1] Zhen Shaoke''s pronunciation was not particularly accurate, which caused Mo Wuji to mistake Sword Lake as cheap goods. However, Mo Wuji was sure that Zhen Shaoke definitely wouldn''t say cheap goods, thus he hastily asked, "Shaoke, you said Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s what?" "Sword Lake. It''s similar to the Pill Pagoda. In the Heaven Seeking Palace, there''s the Pill Pagoda, Sword Lake, Smith Summit, etc. These are the Heaven Seeking Palace''s most talented¡­" Zhen Shaoke seemed to be finding a more apt phrase to describe them, but Mo Wuji could infer what he was saying. These were the Heaven Seeking Palace''s various specialisations. "Senior Mu, Senior Zuo, please come in¡­" Even though he did not know why these two were doing here, Mo Wuji still made an inviting gesture. After his gesture, he was suddenly reminded of the wreck that was his room. Just as Mo Wuji was about to suggest to use Zhen Shaoke''s room to host the guests, the lady called Zuo Shaoyi furrowed her brows and said, "Senior apprentice sister Mu, I''m suddenly feeling a little unwell. How about we do this some other time?" Mu Ying immediately understood the meaning behind Zuo Shaoyi''s words and she could only apologetically say to Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, junior apprentice sister Zuo is feeling unwell. We¡¯ll come visit some other time." Mu Ying also didn''t understand how Mo Wuji could get himself into such a miserable state. "It''s okay, it¡¯s okay." Mo Wuji hastily waved his hands, he didn''t even know why these two ladies were here. After sending the two ladies off, Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoke entered the room. As Zhen Shaoke entered Mo Wuji''s room, his mouth went ajar. What was Mo Wuji doing in here? Mo Wuji patted Zhen Shaoke''s shoulders, "Shaoke, let''s ignore the state of my room. Come tell me, why were Mu Ying and that Heaven Seeking Palace''s Zuo Shaoyi doing here? Don''t tell me they¡¯re lacking placings?" Other sects might lack Five Elements Desolate Domain placings but Mo Wuji was sure the Heaven Seeking Palace wasn''t one of them. Zhen Shaoke chuckled, "That Zuo Shaoyi is a genius in the Heaven Seeking Palace Sword Lake. Her reputation is no lesser than the Pill Pagoda''s Mu Ying. She was here to befriend you. From the looks of it, you didn''t meet her expectations so she turned and left." Mo Wuji stared at Zhen Shaoke with his eyes wide open. Only after some time, he determined that Zhen Shaoke wasn''t lying to him, "Shaoke, even if I was the 50th place in the pill competition, I wouldn''t have gained the attention of a Heaven Seeking Palace genius right? How preposterous is that?" Mo Wuji wasn''t ugly, but he was not world-shakingly handsome either. Moreover, the cultivation world had no lack of handsome lady-killers. He really found it hard to believe that Zuo Shaoyi, this Heaven Seeking Palace genius, would actually pay him a visit to befriend him. That simply sounded absurd. Zhen Shaoke continued chuckling, "I unintentionally overheard their conversation just now. It seems like Zuo Shaoyi is not looking for you to be her dao companion. But Zuo Shaoyi actually has an older sister, and her older sister''s spiritual roots are also ordinary¡­" Without needing Zhen Shaoke to continue, Mo Wuji had completely made sense of the situation. It looks like his performance had earned her acknowledgement. Even though his spiritual roots were trash, at least he could concoct pills, and could be considered to have good prospects. That''s why she wanted to introduce him to her older sister. "Keke, so she wants to be my little sister ah," Mo Wuji chuckled as well, acting like it was nothing important. Zhen Shaoke bashfully scratched his nose, "That seems like the case. I believe, in her eyes, introducing you as her brother-in-law is your good fortune." Mo Wuji waved it off, "Let''s not talk about her, did you get my spiritual herbs?" Zhen Shaoke passed the bag in his hands to Mo Wuji, "There are three batches of Earthly Soul Protecting Pill ingredients here. I couldn''t get anymore." "This is more than enough." Mo Wuji opened the bag and examined his herbs. They were preserved properly, and there were even some energy gathering talismans inside. He no longer acted courteously in front of Zhen Shaoke, and directly threw the spiritual herbs into his storage bag. At this point in time, he wouldn''t concoct pills or even practice. That would have to wait till when he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. "These are some brief introductions of the Five Elements Desolate Domain and some simple maps. Take them." Zhen Shaoke retrieved another two pamphlets and passed them to Mo Wuji. Seeing Mo Wuji store them properly, Zhen Shaoke continued, "The Five Elements Desolate Domain is opening in day. Hurry and rest, I''ll no longer bother you." He could easily tell that Mo Wuji desperately needed rest, so he didn''t say anything else. Regarding the matter with Zuo Shaoyi, he would not talk about it. Even though Zuo Shaoyi was a Heaven Seeking Palace genius, Mo Wuji''s achievements were no lower than hers in Zhen Shaoke''s eyes. She had underestimated him. On the other hand, even if Zuo Shaoyi hadn''t underestimated Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have bothered befriending her older sister or become her brother-in-law. After Zhen Shaoke left, Mo Wuji immediately checked his meridians. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he had just experienced some inhuman pain and devastation, his meridians remained fine and did not seem to have any signs of damage. ... A day passed by quickly; today was the day the Five Elements Desolate Domain would open. Zhen Shaoke and Zhen Shaoru came to visit Mo Wuji far earlier than the supposed time. If they missed the supposed time, they would not be able to enter even if they had the bracelets. Mo Wuji first bid his farewells to Yan¡¯Er before detailedly instructing Xiong Xiuzhu and Fei Bingzhu to take care of her. Only then, did he leave together with Zhen Shaoke and Zhen Shaoru to the Five Elements Desolate Domain entrance. He had also requested for Zhen Shaoke''s help. If he truly failed to come out from the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he requested Zhen Shaoke to help take care of Yan''Er for a few years, on account of their friendship. This was so that Yan''Er could quietly and peacefully leave the world. With his understanding of Zhen Shaoke, he believed that Zhen Shaoke would definitely do it. After all, this wasn''t something difficult for Zhen Shaoke to do. ¡­ "Isn''t this the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment?" Mo Wuji followed behind Zhen Shaoke, and he actually ended up at the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment. Zhen Shaoke laughed, "That''s right. The entrance of the Five Elements Desolate Domain is being protected by the Heaven Seeking Palace. So this is also the entrance to the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Mo Wuji saw many cultivators heading over and entering into the Heaven Seeking Palace gates. "Wuji, Shaoru, put on your bracelets and enter. I can only follow you two to this point. Good luck inside and reap bountiful harvests. Shaoru, if you meet Wuji within the Five Elements Desolate Domain, you need to listen to Wuji, don''t simply do things unrestrainedly." With that, Zhen Shaoke continued to specially instruct Zhen Shaoru. The Heaven Seeking Palace encampment. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru had came here before for the pill refiner''s interaction session. This time, as they entered the gates of the encampment, they only saw a long, bluestone paved path. Countless cultivators were hearing into the Five Elements Desolate Domain; all of them were wearing their jade bracelets and walked in through this path quietly. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru followed behind the crowd and entered this long, winding path. He did not feel anything peculiar when he first entered, but after walking for a few minutes, Mo Wuji felt a chill across his entire body. After walking for close to half an hour, Mo Wuji and Co. arrived at a humble round piazza. This piazza seemed to be the end of the path, there wasn''t any road left to go. The piazza was surrounded by fog. With more than a thousand people in this piazza, it felt a little squeezy. This was where Mo Wuji came to see the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Dean Feng again. He stood with his hands behind his back, at the periphery of the piazza right next to the fog, looking especially illusory and mystical. No one made any noise, nor did they moved unnecessarily. Everyone on this small piazza was a cultivator. They all silently waited for Dean Feng to make his speech. After an incense''s time, this Dean Feng took a huge step forward, his eyes swept across the crowd of cultivators before he spoke loudly, "Being able to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain is an opportunity. I hope all of you can properly grasp this opportunity and live up to the expectations your sects have placed on you." With that, he turned to face the empty space within the fog, "Brother Ji, let''s open the way to the Five Elements Desolate Domain together." As Dean Feng''s voice descended, a shadow appeared in front of the crowd. He was obscured by the shroud of fog and Mo Wuji was not able to clearly discern this person''s appearance. As this person landed, he did not say a word, but simply threw out a number of array flags. Dean Feng also took a step forward and threw some of them out. Mo Wuji seemed to heard some rumbling noises and the fog surrounding the round piazza started to part. A hazy path seemed to appear from the round piazza, and it seemed to extend to somewhere deep. However, the path was covered with fog and it was simply impossible to clearly see the situation. After a whole five to six minutes, the rumbling sound gradually subsided. The path seemed to be wider, but it remained as unclear as before. Dean Feng stopped his hand actions and announced loudly, "The passage to the Five Elements Desolate Domain has been opened. I would like to remind all of you heading to the Five Elements Desolate Domain that the passage has just been opened, so it is still filled with poisonous fog inside. Please use the shortest time possible to transverse this passage and leave the area shrouded in poisonous fog. If not, you might just get poisoned to death at the entrance of the Five Elements Desolate Domain. The Five Elements Desolate Domain will be opened for three months. After three months, this Five Elements passage will be opened once more. Everyone will need to return from the same passage at the end of these three months. Everyone, enter quickly." Following Dean Feng''s words, many cultivators charged into the passage and disappeared within the hazy fog. Zhen Shaoru said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, when you enter, definitely don''t wait there. Immediately head to somewhere safe. If fate allows it, we might meet within the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Finishing this sentence, Zhen Shaoru also charged in with huge strides. Mo Wuji did not dare to fall behind. He grabbed two Poison Cleansing Pills and swallowed them, before rushing in as well. [1] Cheap goods is pronounced as Jian Huo in Chinese, while Sword Lake is Jian Hu. Hence, the misunderstanding. Chapter 135: A Great Shock Chapter 135: A Great Shock Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Charging into the tunnel filled with fog, Mo Wuji felt as though countless needles were pricking his body. He noticed that many of the cultivators that rushed in with him had already slowed down considerably, likely circulating energy to resist the pricking sensation. The pain from the pricking also affected Mo Wuji, but instead of circulating energy to reduce the effects, he picked up his pace. Pain and suffering was something he had experienced too much of, so this level of pain could not affect him yet, as one of the lowest leveled cultivators present, if he circulated energy to resist the pain, perhaps he would end up as one of the last few to leave the tunnel. Mo Wuji not only did not fight the pain, but also increased his speed gradually, leaving most of the cultivators behind. From their point of view, Mo Wuji seemed like one of those people who had an advanced level or cultivation, so as he charged towards them, they quickly opened up a path for him. In a moment, the scenery that Mo Wuji saw suddenly became much more spacious. He could see hundreds of shadows splitting up, thus he knew that he had already exited the tunnel and finally arrived in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. While there was still some fog around, it was much sparser than before, mountain peaks and forests lay hidden in the distance, giving off a feeling of spaciousness and a slight murderous aura. The dense spiritual energy present caused Mo Wuji to exclaim, No wonder there are so many precious spiritual objects and herbs around. The spiritual energy is already so dense just at the entrance of the Five Elements Desolate Domain. There was no time for hesitation, Mo Wuji chose a direction, and quickly sped off. At the square outside of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, no one dared to make a move on him. But this was now inside the Five Elements Desolate Domain, if he were killed, there would be no difference from an ant dying. ¡­ One day and night soon passed, then Mo Wuji came to an abrupt stop. It wasn¡¯t that he could not carry on, but now he suddenly realised, what if he could not find his way back? Thinking back, Mo Wuji could still remember where he came from, but whether he could still remember this after three months would be another problem. At this point, he frantically took out some paper and pen to make a rough map of the area. But as he looked down to the bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet had a conspicuous arrow which pointed in the direction that he had just come from. Even after he moved to a different position, and the arrow still pointed towards the same place. Whew. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. This is even more useful than a compass. It seemed as though the bracelet was not only required to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, but also to leave it. It could clearly guide him towards the location that he had come from, which indicated that there was some form of directional array controlling it. While Mo Wuji was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, and had a frightening cultivation speed, he did not have a master. Thus there was no way he knew anything about smithing, arrays, talismans, etcetera. The arrays that he had encountered previously were either large scale sect protection formations arrays or transfer arrays. The smallest was still a light projection array. Regardless which kind of array it was, he never had the chance nor the audacity to use his spiritual will to analyse them. Now that the bracelet in his hand had a control array, it piqued Mo Wuji¡¯s interest. Carefully slipping his spiritual will into the bracelet, countless criss-crossing runes immediately appeared within his field of vision. This should have been the rumored array runes, but it was a pity that Mo Wuji did not understand any of it, and could only withdraw his spiritual will. "Crack" A loud sound boomed through the air, followed by a bright streak of light that broke his concentration on the bracelet. As Mo Wuji raised his head, another crack exploded, and a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky. The whole sky became overcast, and after the large lightning bolt fell, many other small ones came pouring down continuously. Was it going to rain? Mo Wuji looked to his surroundings, instantly spotting a small mountain nearby. Regardless whether it was about to rain, he had to find shelter to hide in, then take a quick nap before understanding what was going on around here. Circulating his spiritual energy, Mo Wuji speedily arrived at the base of the mountain. He chose a cliff wall, and climbed straight up until he was nearly 20m above ground. There he began using his sharp blade to dig a cave. This was a decision made based on his past experience. Digging a hole on the side of a cliff would both avoid any assault from poisonous insects, and also would be much safer than propping up a tent on the ground. The pace of digging was rather fast, and within an hour, he had dug a cave sufficiently big for sleeping in. His coat and bracelet came off and were placed to the side. Since he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had ran for one full day, and hence was fatigued. Now that it was about to rain, this was a good time to take a quick break before carrying on. The lightning strikes continued to fall,. The crackling sounds coming wave after wave. After Mo Wuji lay down for a good deal of time, the sound of rain failed to appear, which made him suspicious. He had encountered instances of lightning without rain, but with the lightning striking for so long, and not a single drop of rain falling at all, this was something he never seen before. Mo Wuji got up out of curiosity, and peered out of the opening of his cave. "Bang!" another thunderous boom exploded in the sky, but what truly made Mo Wuji shudder was the sight of a gigantic demonic beast charging up and punching its fist onto the thick lightning bolt. The lightning blew the demonic beast away and into a large crater. Mo Wuji could not get it wrong now, he knew that it was not about to rain, instead, there was a demonic beast undergoing heavenly tribulation. He had met Yuan Dan Stage experts before, like Yan Qianyin, but he did not hear anything about heavenly tribulation. This meant that for the three stages of the Earth realm, there would not be any lightning trials. Yet a demonic beast was going through a heavenly tribulation before him, so how strong was it? It could not be any weaker than Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dean Feng. If he were to land in the hands of this demonic beast, would he be able to survive? I have to leave immediately, That was the only thought that ran through Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. However, even before he climbed down from the cliff, the demonic beast leapt out from the crater and in his direction. This demonic beast must be unable to endure the lightning trial so it¡¯s trying to escape. Mo Wuji¡¯s mind filled with regret. If he knew that the source of the lightning was a demonic beast undergoing heavenly tribulation, even if he were drenched in the rain, he would not stay a minute longer here to dig any sh*tty cave. "Rumble...Crack...crack¡­crack¡­" Three consecutive lightning bolts landed; the first two square on the muddy demonic beast¡¯s body, which opened two wounds all the way to its bones; the third blocked by the gigantic fist of the demonic beast once again. The beast obviously would not be able to dodge the lightning bolts of the lightning trial, wherever it went, lightning bolts would follow. At this point, Mo Wuji finally saw the whole situation clearly. The pasty mud on the demonic beast¡¯s body was a mixture of mud and its blood. Its whole body was riddled with wounds, all caused by the lightning strikes. A thought suddenly came to mind. What if this demonic beast failed its heavenly tribulation and got struck to death by lightning? Wouldn¡¯t I profit immensely from it? Before Mo Wuji could finish that thought, the beast broke into deadly roar and leapt up, grabbing two people simultaneously. "Bang!" A lightning bolt streaked through the sky again. This time, the demonic beast threw those two people at it. The flash of light illuminated their shockingly pale faces. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart leapt into his mouth; he had seemingly seen these two people before he entered Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s tunnel. "Ka Cha! Ka ka¡­" Lightning landed on both their bodies, but they were simply useless as shields and got blasted to bits instantly. Another hit the entrance of the cave he was in, causing half of the cave to collapse. At this point, how could Mo Wuji leave anything up to chance? Staying at the same spot was equivalent to waiting for death. Countless lightning bolts kept raining down from above, and the demonic east was busy taking care of them. There was no better chance for him to escape. Mo Wuji directly leapt out of the cave 20m above ground, then rushing away like a madman. Although he did not feel the demonic beast coming after him, he continued to flee. Some time later, Mo Wuji was attracted by a rather unique fragrance, which made him stop. This was because the fragrance gave him a sudden mental boost, as though as he just drank a cup of cool water from a spring after many days without water. Immediately he saw a beautiful waterfall in front of him, and in the lake below the waterfall, countless enthralling flowers floated on the water surface. Even though he was quite some distance away from the waterfall, the dense spiritual energy made him very comfortable. "These are lotus flowers?" Mo Wuji was elated. The flower¡¯s fragrance itself had elevated his mental state,so if he could dig up the root, they might even be higher grade than the Treasured Blood Lotus. However, what he required the most then was higher grade lotus strips; only those could allow him to open up more meridians. The lightning strikes were thrown to the back of his mind, as Mo Wuji dove into the lake without any hesitation. Once in the water, a freezing cold sensation pierced through to the marrow of Mo Wuji¡¯s bones, almost causing him to freeze solid in the lake. But it was also thanks to the cold that Mo Wuji¡¯s greedy mind could be instantly calmed down. This lotus root must be a treasure, so why aren¡¯t there any demonic beasts around? The only reason could be that these roots already have an owner. With this thought, a cold shiver ran down his spine. He had just escaped death at the cliff, only to run into certain death again at this lake. Something¡¯s not right. If there¡¯s a demonic beast guarding this place, wouldn¡¯t it have appeared once he approached the lake? What is it still waiting for? Unless, this land belongs to the beast that¡¯s undergoing heavenly tribulation? Another shiver ran down Mo Wuji¡¯s spine, and the already cold lake water became even colder. At this point, he was almost certain that this was the territory of that beast undergoing heavenly tribulation. He only managed to go knocking on another door seeking for death. Leave quickly! The thought flashed in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. But he soon discarding this idea. Not only did he stay, but he dove into the depths of the lake. This was good fortune not misfortune, even if it was misfortune, it was unavoidable at this point. After all, he did require high quality lotus strips, and since he had found some, he couldn¡¯t just leave empty handed. This was simply not worth living in fear for a good half a day. Swimming as fast as he could, Mo Wuji swiftly arrived at the bottom of the lake. His hands began to trawl through the mud like two shovels attached to his arms. Minutes later, he had already dug up six lotus roots, before he quickly surfaced.It was not that he did not want to dig anymore, but he just could not stand the freezing temperature anymore. If he continued any longer, Mo Wuji suspected that he would freeze to death at the bottom of the lake. Chapter 136: Enemies Meet Chapter 136: Enemies Meet Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The wet and soaked Mo Wuji climbed out of the pool and found that more than half of the floating lotus flowers had disappeared; they had long been stuffed into his storage bag as though he had been picking weeds. Hurry and go, this was not a place to stay for long. Mo Wuji continued his crazed roaming. It seemed like since the start of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he had been running unceasingly. This time, he ran for a whole three days and three nights before stopping. It wasn''t because he wanted to stop running, but because he truly couldn''t run any further. Over these past few days, he didn''t even know exactly how many Energy Restoring Pills he had eaten. Taking large, deep breathes, and swallowing an Inedia Pill, Mo Wuji started to examine and scan his surroundings. Over in front, there were some uneven hills. These hills seemed to extend boundlessly, with seemingly no end in sight. On his left was a patch of desert; on the desert, there were some dilapidated stone carvings and some staggered, slanting columns. On his right was were some wetlands. Except for the occasional bubbles which formed at the centre of the marshes, there were no other forms of life. Mo Wuji found that there was also the shadow of some abandoned buildings on the desert. No one could tell how many tens of thousands of years had passed for these buildings, only their sandy outline could still be discerned. Mo Wuji walked into the desert and found a relatively empty space before digging a huge cave. After entering, his fatigue finally kicked in. He had ran tirelessly without rest for three days and three nights. Furthermore, he had experienced that forceful struggle with the mud back in the pool, his entire body was fully drenched in dirt and sludge. Even though he was already at Channel Opening Stage Level 8, Mo Wuji had no inkling of any form of magic. He could only use some clear water to wipe his body and change his clothes. As for such matters, Mo Wuji didn''t really care about them. After cleaning up, the first thing he did was to retrieve the six lotuses from his storage bag. He had grabbed these lotuses and dumped them in his storage bag; he didn''t even get to properly handle the lotus flowers. The fragrance of the lotus flowers reassured Mo Wuji that the past few days had not been for waste. The carefully plucked the six flowers and stored them in six jade boxes. Thereafter, he neatly packaged the lotus stems and leaves. Even though Mo Wuji had no idea what lotus it was, he could guess that it was nothing simple. If not, it would not have such a refreshing and pleasant fragrance. The most important thing of the lotus was still its lotus roots. He didn''t know the grade of the lotus, but if it was something guarded by a strong demonic beast, it would be absurd to think that it was simple. The first lotus had been washed clean and a purple lotus body was revealed. Mo Wuji lightly cut open the lotus node and a refreshing fragrance pounced towards his nose. Mo Wuji gleefully saw five to six lotus roots which were incomparably clear. Unlike the Treasured Blood Lotuses, these lotus roots were green and clear like the highest grades of green jade. The roots seemed to have a life of their own as they brimmed with vitality. Ordinary lotus roots were connected, thin and fragile. On the other hand, Treasured Blood Lotus Roots were formed individually and had an extremely conspicuous structure and colour. The lotus roots which he just obtained also had distinct structures, and it even had its own fragrance. This lotus truly wasn''t something simple. Mo Wuji stored the lotus roots into a jade box, before taking a bite at the lotus itself. A trial of icy cold, yet fiery hot life energy gushed into his throat; this life energy seemed to bring his entire body to its most optimal and peak conditions. Mo Wuji''s heart jumped in glee and he immediately clenched a few Earth grade spirit stones in his hands and started circulating spiritual energy. In half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji could feel the resounding, and unending rise in his cultivation. Not too long ago, he had just broken into the Channel Opening Stage Level 8, but now he was suddenly on the verge of advancing into Channel Opening Stage Level 9. The pieces of Earth grade spirit stones crumbled into dust, and Mo Wuji retrieved additional pieces of spirit stones. Passed passed in a flash in the midst of cultivation; Mo Wuji, himself, did not know exactly how much spiritual energy he had absorbed. At this moment, the elemental energy within his body stirred and seemed to overflow and shatter his dantian. His cultivation could not rise any further, it was like a bottle which was filled to the brim, it could no longer store any more water. Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of turbid air and stopped cultivating. He was far too familiar with this situation; he had met with a bottleneck, and he would need to find some lightning to open his meridians in order to continue advancing his cultivation. Mo Wuji sighed; if he wanted to make use of the rich resources here to advance into the Spirit Building Stage, he would need to find a source of lightning to open his meridians. "Dong Lun, I¡¯ve already surrendered the place to you. Must you be bent on killing me?" An aggrieved voice could be heard, causing Mo Wuji, who wanted to go out, stop in his track. The stone in his hand was forcefully crushed into pieces. If there was another name like ''Xia Ruoyin¡¯, which Mo Wuji would never forget till his death, it would be ''Dong Lun¡¯. After hearing this name, Mo Wuji''s hands trembled; it wasn''t just his hands, his entire body was shaking. This was an extreme display of rage. At this moment, he desperately wanted to immediately rush out and simply swallow this Dong Lun whole. After some time, Mo Wuji managed to forcefully calm himself down. He could not confirm that this Dong Lun was the same young city lord as the one from Supreme Sword City. "Only the dead are the dependable." A cold, indifferent voice replied. Mo Wuji cautiously peeked out from his cave; two men were standing face to face. One of them was in grey robes and his entire body emitted a strong, self confident and vigorous aura. The other was in a robe which had been torn into a hideous mess, and there were blood stains dotted throughout his robes. On his chest, there seemed to be a hole of blood. It was just that Mo Wuji was relatively far away, and at the same time, he did not dare reveal his hiding spot, thus, he could not clearly discern the situation. "The Supreme Sword City is a big, esteemed sect. Your father, City Lord Luohua, is an expert with a wide, illustrious reputation¡­" Even though the heavily injured man was guarding against the grey robed man, his mouth was constantly dissuading the other party. The grey robed man didn''t even bother waiting for him to finish as he intersected both his hands and shot out ten beams of light. These ten beams of light wrapped around the speaking man. Under the blinding brilliance of ten beams of light, Mo Wuji was momentarily unable to see the dire situation of the injured man. It seems like he was right, this grey robed man was indeed the Supreme Sword City young city lord, Dong Lun. Mo Wuji stealthily fetched the Tian Ji Pole from his storage bag, and at the same time, he took in a deep breath. From Dong Lun''s actions, he could tell that he was as malicious as the Dong Lun he knew. Now that his enemy was right in front of him, he was extremely unwilling to simply give up on avenging this blood feud for Yan''Er. "Bang Bang Bang¡­" The two started battling. Mo Wuji could only a flash of white, and could not make out the exact battle process. Mo Wuji helplessly clenched his fists; if his cultivation was a little higher, he would definitely charge out and join that person to deal with Dong Lun. However, with his current cultivation, going out was akin to sending himself to death. Even if they managed to kill Dong Lun together, Mo Wuji would not be able to survive. The other guy will definitely eliminate him, and not let him leave with this information. Something''s not right. Mo Wuji soon discovered that there was something peculiar about the situation. As the two fought, they were also moving towards him. Mo Wuji immediately understood what was going on. Even though he was hiding in a corner, he had been discovered by these two. It should be because of his over agitation when he heard Dong Lun''s name. As it turned out, the man pursued by Dong Lun called out breathlessly, "Friend, if I''m killed by Dong Lun, do you think you would survive? Dong Lun is already in the Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1. After killing me, he will definitely come after you. Since that''s the case, join me and deal with him." What a scheming fella, Mo Wuji cursed in his heart and did not respond. Instead, he cautiously prepared the Ice Burst Talisman in his hand. The Ice Burst Talisman could deal with a True Lake Stage cultivator, so there should be no problems with a Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1 Dong Lun. However, Mo Wuji was worried about how to make it such that Dong Lun would be unable to avoid his Ice Burst Talisman. "Idiot, this old man here is already in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 3 but I''m not an opponent for this Dong fella. You''re still not acting¡­ Ah¡­" As the man pursued by Dong Lun was aggravated by Mo Wuji''s inaction, a beam of light had pierced through his chest. Mo Wuji emerged and said with a voice full of fear, "Two seniors, I''m merely in the Channel Opening Stage, this is none of my business ah. I don''t know anything¡­" The reason why Mo Wuji stood up was because he wanted to let the two know that his cultivation was low, and that there was no need for them to be concerned about him. If Dong Lun was on his guard against him, he would lose his opportunity. "Dong Lun, even if this old man here dies, I will not make things easy for you¡­" The man received a huge shock; when he discovered that Mo Wuji wasn''t someone who was able to help him, he knew that he would definitely die. If he had to die, he would make things hard for Dong Lun. With that, he opened his mouth wide and spit out a blood arrow. The blood arrow flew towards Dong Lun''s throat; even though Mo Wuji was standing relatively far away, he could smell the stomach-curling stench of the blood. Dong Lun''s faced changed, clearly he could tell the impressiveness of the blood arrow. He did not dare come into contact with the blood arrow as he threw his entire body forward. Almost at the same instant, another red light shot out from the heavily injured man, flying towards the direction Dong Lun jumped towards. "Pu¡­" The red light flashed; Dong Lun staggered tens of steps back, coincidentally in the direction of Mo Wuji. Initially, Mo Wuji was intending to offer his lotus flowers to Dong Lun and surprise him with the Ice Burst Talisman. However, he had apprehensions towards that plan; a ruthless person like Dong Lun might not even wait for him to talk and simply end him. Mo Wuji was sure that he had no form of resistance towards an expert of Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1. Now that Dong Lun was staggering towards his direction, he was clearly threatened by the other party''s final, dying moves. Mo Wuji did not hesitate and immediately concentrated his spiritual will and elemental energy onto his Ice Burst Talisman. In a short time, the Ice Burst Talisman formed a dazzling white cloud which wrapped around the retreating Dong Lun. Mo Wuji was overjoyed; his scheme of exposing himself as someone weak had worked. Dong Lun dared to retreat in his direction because he simply didn''t put Mo Wuji in his eyes. I was only afraid you wouldn''t come. After activating the talisman, Mo Wuji furiously raised the Tian Ji Pole and charged forward with the white cloud. Chapter 137: I’ve Wanted To Destroy You For A Long Time Chapter 137: I¡¯ve Wanted To Destroy You For A Long Time Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Dong Lun saw Mo Wuji activating his talisman and laughed coldly in his heart. A mere Channel Opening Stage ant dared to plot against him. It was as Mo Wuji had thought, he dared to retreat in Mo Wuji''s direction precisely because he didn''t put Mo Wuji in his eyes at all. Even though he was injured, and even if he stood still and let Mo Wuji attack him once, he wouldn''t even furrow his brows. However, Mo Wuji truly plotted against him so naturally he wouldn''t sit still. He had already nursed a lot of grievances from the other man''s relentless attacks. Dong Lun''s elemental energy surged to deal with Mo Wuji. However, at the very next moment, Dong Lun''s face changed; his movements were slowed incredibly and an freezing icy energy permeated in the surroundings. This icy energy was rapidly freezing the surrounding space in place. Not good. This was not a talisman he could ever hope of defending against. Dong Lun''s heart started racing rapidly and he no longer dared to reserve his energy. He madly activated his elemental energy to escape from this icy cold field. Unfortunately, he had already lost the opportunity. If he tried his best at the very first moment, perhaps he might a chance of escaping. Now, he was completely unable to evade the attack of the Ice Burst Talisman. "Ka ka¡­" In a mere few seconds, Dong Lun was frozen in place. Like an insect stuck in amber, he was unable to extricate himself. Mo Wuji exerted all his energy and swung the Tian Ji Pole. Before his attack could land on Dong Lun, it was also frozen by the Ice Burst Talisman. The astonished Mo Wuji hurried to retreat backwards. Luckily, the talisman had yet to fully act against him. There was a layer of frost which formed on his entire body, but he was still able to break free. This Ice Burst Talisman sure is impressive. But if there was another of such a Talisman, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t buy it. Even though it was powerful, it would even attack its owner. You could say that if not for the coincidence that Dong Lun had chosen to stagger towards him, joined by Dong Lun''s extreme underestimation of him, his Ice Burst Talisman would not have been effectively put to use. If he chose to openly exhibit his Ice Burst Talisman, in the time taken to activate the talisman and for the talisman to burst out, Dong Lun would have already ran far away. Even if Dong Lun was stupid, he wouldn''t idly wait for Mo Wuji''s talisman to activate before running away. Furthermore, this talisman was bonded to him and could only be activated by him. If he did not have spiritual will, he also wouldn''t have been able to activate the talisman. No wonder why this thing was only worth a few thousand Xuan grade spirit stones. Bin Shiqi touted it well, but this was truly a rubbish talisman. Dong Lun glared hatefully at Mo Wuji within the ice. He knew that if this talisman were to explode, his body would follow it and explode into bits and pieces. Dong Lun completely couldn''t understand how a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji could activity activate the Ice Burst Talisman. Not only could he activate it, he could even do it in such a short time. This was simply impossible. Furthermore, Dong Lun was sure that his judgement was right; Mo Wuji was a Channel Opening Stage cultivator. "I¡¯ve wanted to destroy you for a long time, and you actually sent yourself over into my hands today. You don''t have to worry about being alone when you die. One day, I will go to the Supreme Sword City and raze it to the ground. I will not leave a single member of your Dong Clan alive." Mo Wuji didn''t even bother waiting the frost off his body; he walked in front of Dong Lun said in a ecstatic manner. He was truly very happy. Ever since Yan''Er had suffered under the Supreme Sword City, he had always felt suffocated. Today, he could finally take a proper breath. Even though his Mo Clan''s prefecture had been robbed away, that was not something he had experienced personally. Moreover, he did not have much feelings towards the Mo Clan and even viewed it with little affection. On the other hand, Yan''Er had treated him so well, and was stolen right from his side and was thrown to die in the Supreme Sword City. How could he let it go? Dong Lun could hear Mo Wuji''s words and his two eyes turned red with rage and hatred. Unfortunately, he could not even say a single word. "Peng!" The interior of the Ice Burst Talisman let out a bursting sound. Dong Lun''s body was blasted into juice by the explosion; trials of blood mixed in with the ice, staining the ice blood red. Before he died, Dong Lun didn''t even know the deep enmity he had with Mo Wuji. He didn''t even believe that his death was related to the spiritual roots transfer. For many years, the Supreme Sword City''s Dong Clan had killed countless geniuses for their supreme spiritual roots. If each of their families came to seek revenge, even 10 000 Dong Clans would not be enough to appease them. Mo Wuji walked over, picked up the Tian Ji Pole and gave it a quick shake; the frost on the pole immediately disappeared. After the Ice Burst Talisman had lost its effects, the frost also turned into the most ordinary of frost. It was a great pity that Dong Lun''s belongings exploded together with him. If not, that fella definitely would have no lack of good items. "This friend is so capable to actually kill Dong Lun¡­ Ke Ke¡­ Thanks for helping me seek revenge¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji turned his head over, the man heavily injured by Dong Lun stuttered as blood flowed out the corner of his mouth. "You''re really quite resilient," Mo Wuji responded coldly as he sat by the side. He was waiting for the other party to slowly die. Seeing this fella still trying to gain his favour despite nearing death, it¡¯s definitely not going to be for something good. If this fella survived, then when they leave the Five Elements Desolate Domain, it would be Mo Wuji''s turn to die. You wouldn''t even need to wait to leave the desolate domain, as long this fella''s injuries heal, then Mo Wuji would definitely die. It''s just that Mo Wuji had no enmity with this fella, so he was unwilling to immediately end his life. "I''m the Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s Zheng Hefei. If this friend is willing to help me once¡­ I, Zheng Hefei, hereby swear¡­" Without waiting for the other party to finish, Mo Wuji directly interrupted Zheng Hefei''s words, "One, I can''t save you. Two, I still want to live for a few more years." Zheng Hefei coughed unceasingly and did not continue to plead for Mo Wuji to save him. Perhaps he knew that Mo Wuji''s words were true. With his current condition, even a Tier 5 Earth Pill Refiner might not be able to save him. "If you tell me why Dong Lun was chasing after you, then perhaps I might give you a proper burial and your corpse will not get devoured by demonic beasts. I''m sure you have heard this before, if your corpse gets eaten by demonic beasts, it would be hard for you to reincarnate." Seeing Zheng Hefei remaining silent, Mo Wuji took the initiative to talk. Regarding the difficulty reincarnating, it was all a story which he fabricated. He had a bit of interest in the place which Dong Lun and Zheng Hefei found. The Five Elements Desolate Domain truly had good stuff, he bad personally seen it. Zheng Hefei constantly coughed out fresh blood, Mo Wuji did not mind and continued to wait quietly. Previously when he said that he couldn''t save Zheng Hefei was indeed words of truth. With his current capabilities, he truly couldn''t rescue Zheng Hefei from his current predicament. "OK¡­ I''ll tell you¡­ But if you ever have the opportunity¡­ You must definitely pass the jade flute in my storage bag to my Heaven Demon Sect''s junior apprentice sister Yang Yingping. Tell her that I have already met my end in Five Elements Desolate Domain¡­" Zheng Hefei had already put in a lot of his effort to say all of that. "I agree. In the future when I think that I''m powerful enough, I can help you with that," Mo Wuji said lightly. Before he had the capability, he would not even think of helping Zheng Hefei. He didn''t think that this Zheng Hefei would be such an emotional person, to think about his lover right before he died. Even though he understood the meaning of Mo Wuji''s words, Zheng Hefei did not bother arguing as he continued to stutter, "... From here, walk in the North-east direction for a day''s time¡­ You can see an ice mountain¡­ There¡­" Before finishing this sentence, Zheng Hefei''s head cocked to the side, his breathing stopped completely. Dead? Mo Wuji cautiously walked over and felt his pulse. Zheng Hefei was truly dead. He casually retrieved the storage bad from Zheng Hefei''s waist. Thereafter, he dug a pit and buried Zheng Hefei within it. As for Dong Lun''s meat juice, Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to deal with it. After keeping his Tian Ji Pole, Mo Wuji ascertained the north-east direction before unhurriedly running over. His cultivation was low, so if he met an expert like Zheng Hefei and Dong Lun, he would undoubtedly die. Thus on his journey, Mo Wuji was extremely careful. One day later, Mo Wuji stopped. He did not see an ice mountain, but he did see a Lightning Leopard. The Lightning Leopard was like the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile, it attacked using lightning. Unlike the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile, the Lightning Leopard attacked primarily with electroballs while the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile mainly used lightning bolts. The Lightning Leopard also had another characteristic: It was extremely fast. Naturally, Mo Wuji stopped for the lightning to open his meridians. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Channel Opening Stage Level 8 and had met with a bottleneck. For a typical cultivator who met with a bottle, perhaps they might use a spiritual will to advance into Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Thereafter, cultivate for a few more years before using pills to enter Spirit Building. If not for Mo Wuji having huge ambitions, he could easily use this method to advance into Spirit Building. He had opened 61 meridians and was completely capable of cultivating into the Spirit Building Stage. Now that Mo Wuji could open his meridians, he naturally would not dig his own grave with such a method. He had long decided that his target would be the maximum possible number of meridians. If he was outside, he could use the lightning tempering room to perforate his meridians. Now in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he was simply unable to find a proper lightning source. Now that he spotted a Lightning Leopard, how could Mo Wuji let it go? He was not going to let the Lightning Leopard attack him like the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile. That would be unrealistic and unsuitable. The Lightning Leopard attacked using electroballs which would not be suitable for Mo Wuji to open his meridians. The reason why Mo Wuji blocked this Lightning Leopard was because there would definitely be a lightning source where this Lightning Leopard lived. Only places like the Thunder Fog Forest¡¯s lightning lakes would be suitable for the Lightning Leopard to cultivate. Now that a Lightning Leopard appeared, there would definitely be a lightning source. Even though the Lightning Leopard was a Class 2 demonic beast, which an ordinary Channel Opening Stage cultivator could never hope to beat, under the provocation of Mo Wuji''s spiritual will, it immediately ran away. Mo Wuji''s cultivation was low, but his spiritual will was strong. He could use his spiritual will to pressure the Lightning Leopard and intimidate it. Demonic beasts were extremely sensitive to aura and power. The moment Mo Wuji''s spiritual will came bounding over, the Lightning Leopard subconsciously took a few steps back and knew that Mo Wuji was not an easy opponent. The demonic beast¡¯s fighting spirit suppressed its urge to run away as it shot an electroball towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was least afraid of lightning attacks. He raised the Tian Ji Pole and swung it towards the electroball. "Hong!" The electroball split apart into tens of electric arcs which landed on Mo Wuji''s body. Chapter 138: Heaven Demon Sects Hou Yucheng Chapter 138: Heaven Demon Sect''s Hou Yucheng Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: The tens of lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji''s body and formed trails of flashing lightning. Except for a trail of lightning which landed on Mo Wuji''s arm, the rest of the lightning bolts burnt holes on his outer wear. Except for a slight burning sensation on his arm, the lightning bolts which landed on his body did not affect him at all. The Heaven Crow''s natural silk armour is truly a good item, Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart. Even without the Heaven Crow''s natural silk armour, these lightning bolts would not have affected him. With it, the pain he suffered lessened by quite a bit. The Lightning Leopard saw that it''s electro ball had no effect on Mo Wuji and immediately knew that Mo Wuji was much stronger than it. As a demonic beast who could cultivate to class 2, it had a bit of intelligence; the Lightning Leopard turned its tails and ran away, stopping its assault. The Lightning Leopard''s attack power could not be considered its strongest feature; its main survival feature was its speed. Mo Wuji had been awaiting the Lightning Leopard''s escape, now that the Lightning Leopard had started fleeing, he immediately started chasing after it. He did not mean to eliminate the Lightning Leopard, but he intended to find the lightning environment it was living in. As for the matter of the ice mountain, it had long been chucked away by Mo Wuji. Even if the ice mountain had a Flower of the True Gods, it would have to wait till he found his lightning. Chasing behind the Lightning Leopard made Mo Wuji realise how wrong he was. The Lightning Leopard''s speed was multiple times faster than his. In half an incense''s time, he could only see the Lightning Leopard''s disappearing shadow. Some time later, even the shadow was completely gone. Mo Wuji helplessly stopped in his tracks. He had failed. "Ka ka! Peng!" Consecutive blasts broke the silence, followed by Mo Wuji''s glee. The Lightning Leopard might have vanished but he actually found a lightning lake. The Lightning Leopard had disappeared within the lightning lake. The lightning bolts within the lightning lake shot out unceasingly, barraging the pool of water below, causing a constant pattering sound. Why would Mo Wuji still care about the Lightning Leopard? He immediately ran towards the lightning lake. Luckily, the lightning lake wasn''t very far away. Standing at the periphery of the lightning lake, he could feel the intensity of the lightning bolts. It was multiple times stronger than the lightning lake back in Thunder Fog Forest. Even the lightning tempering room''s lightning bolt wasn''t as impressive as this. However, Mo Wuji did not hesitate for long; he was now in the peak of Channel Opening Stage Level 8, and he had a set of Heaven Crow''s natural silk armour. He would definitely be able to persevere under this high intensity. Mo Wuji landed within the lightning lake in a few steps. Just as he consumed a bottle of channel opening solution, two bolts of lightning descended. Without waiting for the lightning to land on him, Mo Wuji took the initiative to raise his hands against the lightning bolts. With the help of his spiritual will, and Mo Wuji''s improved cultivation, this lightning was easily drawn into his meridians. Ka ka! With just these two lightning bolts, Mo Wuji''s 62nd meridian opened by more than half. A few more lightning bolts landed. Under Mo Wuji''s constant use of his spiritual will and cultivation technique, his 62nd meridian was blasted open. Too easy. Mo Wuji laughed and fetched a bottle of channel opening solution and downed it. This was the first time Mo Wuji it was so easy for Mo Wuji to use lightning to open his meridians. Previously, he had always been struck near the doors of death. This time, he had the Heaven Crow''s natural silk armour. With the exception of a few lightning bolts, the lightning would directly be blocked by the armour. Only his two arms would feel the pain. 63rd¡­ 64th¡­ "Ka ka ka¡­" This time, Mo Wuji directly conducted seven bolts of lightning into his two arms. The seven lightning bolts ripped apart his entire robes and a bone tearing force entered Mo Wuji''s 72nd meridian. An intense pain struck him, causing him to lose his stability. That was too much. Luckily, Mo Wuji had experienced a much more devastating pain before, and he managed to guide the entire lightning into his 72nd meridian. In just this single strike, his 72nd meridian was directly struck open. The instant his 72nd meridian opened, Mo Wuji felt a qualitative change in his body, and his entire body felt lighter. Mo Wuji exhaled strongly and downed another bottle of channel opening solution. He still had another five bottles of channel opening solution on him, according to the current pace, he could at least open his 75th or even 76th meridian. As he swallowed the solution, he could feel a minor heat spreading down his throat before disappearing completely. Mo Wuji''s heart sunk; he had been prepared for this situation but when it really happened, he could not help but feel a little disappointed. This was already the second time this had happened, this first was after his 36th meridian opened. He had thought of ways to upgrade the channel opening solution but the situation happened again after his 72nd meridian opened. It seems like he would need to upgrade his channel opening solution again. Mo Wuji turned disappointedly. This was the best place to temper and open his meridians but unfortunately, he did not have any channel opening solution. "Hong! Kacha¡­" At the instant Mo Wuji turned, a lightning bolt ten times thicker than the previous one descended and struck Mo Wuji''s back. "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji coughed out a spurt of blood and his entire body was sent flying back into the lightning lake. The familiar tearing pain could be felt; it was difficult for Mo Wuji to even struggle. He knew that at least 7 to 8 bones of his spine and ribs had been broken with that strike, and his internal organs had suffered heavy damage. Luckily there was only one of that lightning. If another one were to come, he would definitely die. Mo Wuji painstakingly fetched a few healing pills and swallowed them as he struggled to leave the lightning lake. If not for the Heaven Crow''s natural silk armour, he would have directly been struck to death by that thick bolt of lightning. He truly had good foresight when he purchased it. However, Mo Wuji would rather not have that foresight if he could avoid suffering like this. "Friend, do you need help?" An unhurriedly voice could be heard. Mo Wuji struggled to lift his head. Mo Wuji saw a handsome, young man standing outside the lightning lake. He had dashing eyebrows and a straight nose, his mouth wore a gentle and warm smile. The man did not look at Mo Wuji like he would view someone struggling to survive. Instead, he seemed to admiring the scenery of a full moon by a beautiful lake. Mo Wuji saw this and could not help but sigh deeply, if this was Earth, this fella would definitely be superstar material. Not only was his figure perfect, he was handsome, and his voice and behave was perfect. All of this was extremely natural, and he did not seem to have a hint of pretence. "Pill Master Mo?" An astonished voice could be heard, this time from a lady. It belonged to someone Mo Wuji was familiar with, Qu Wan''Er. Ostensibly, Qu Wan''Er was here together with the handsome, young man. The effects of the healing pills had kicked in. With a strong pull, Mo Wuji climbed out of the lightning lake. "Thank you friend. I don''t need any help for now." After climbing out of the lightning lake, Mo Wuji leaned against a huge rock, swallowed a few pills and replied laughingly. The handsome youth seemed to know Mo Wuji''s thoughts; he smiled faintly and did not say anything much. Qu Wan''Er had already taken a step forward and asked urgently, "Pill Master Mo, are you okay? How did you end up in a lightning lake?" Mo Wuji inhaled a few mouthful of airs before replying, "I saw a spiritual herb within the lightning lake, so I wanted to dig it up. I didn''t expect the lightning bolts to be so powerful, I almost didn''t manage to climb out." "Ai, there''s really a Lightning Splitting Grass¡­" The handsome youth''s figure flashed and his shadow charged into the lightning lake. When he emerged, he held a blue grass within his hand. Lightning Splitting Grass? Mo Wuji got a shock. He was just blindly lying, but this youth actually managed to retrieve a Lightning Splitting Grass. The Lightning Splitting Grass''s price was astronomical as it was an incomparably rare herb. This grass could only grow within lightning lakes. It absorbed the essence of lightning to grow, but it could also avoid lightning. Within a lightning lake, except for a few demonic beasts, it was extremely difficult for spiritual herbs to survive. This Lightning Splitting Grass was one of these few herbs. When lightning strikes, this grass would be able to divert it. Of course, a low grade Lightning Splitting Grass would not be able to divert the thick lightning bolt which struck Mo Wuji. Even so, the Lightning Splitting Grass was invaluable. It was an especially peerless treasure for lightning affinity cultivators. At the same time, Mo Wuji was astounded by this fella''s cultivation. From the speed he displayed, Mo Wuji could tell that this fella was much, much stronger than him. The handsome youth brought the grass in front of Mo Wuji, "You discovered this first, so I helped you take it." Mo Wuji looked at this fella doubtfully. The Lightning Splitting Grass had such a high price, it was at least a Tier 6 spiritual herb but he''s just giving it away? Unless he¡¯s trying to show his generosity in front of Qu Wan''Er? But that''s not right. With his figure and temperament, he would not need to give this Lightning Splitting Grass to gain Qu Wan''Er''s favour. "You are the one you dug it, so it''s not mine. Furthermore, this wasn''t the herb I discovered." Mo Wuji shook his head and did not hesitate to reject this fella''s good intentions. He was only blindly speaking previously. He had no part to play from the discovery to the harvesting of the Lightning Splitting Grass. He did not wish to take advantage of others. By the side, Qu Wan''Er eagerly said, "Pill Master Mo, this is the Heaven Demon Sect''s Senior Hou Yucheng. Senior Hou doesn''t like to take advantage of others. Since you discovered it, you should keep it. There''s nothing to be ashamed about." Mo Wuji lightly smiled. Hou Yucheng doesn''t like to take advantage of others, but did that mean that I would like to leech off others? Of course, that would depend on what I''m leeching off. This is merely a Lightning Splitting Grass, and not the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. "This doesn''t belong to me, and Brother Hou doesn''t owe me anything. So I won''t be taking this Lightning Splitting Grass." Mo Wuji spoke plainly but he spoke with an unquestionable tone. Hou Yucheng was slightly shocked before turning to Qu Wan''Er and asking, "Junior Wan¡¯Er, this should be the Pill Master Mo you mentioned previously?" Chapter 139: Humongous Icy Mountain Chapter 139: Humongous Icy Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: "Yes, he is Mo Wuji. He was the one who gave me this bracelet," Qu Wan¡¯Er answered. Hou Yucheng laughed and said, "Since that¡¯s the case, junior Wan¡¯Er can have this stalk of Lightning Splitting Grass then." Seeing that both Mo Wuji and Hou Yucheng did not want this Lightning Splitting Grass, Qu Wan¡¯Er decided to keep it. "Pill Master Mo, how did you end up here?" Qu Wan¡¯Er asked after keeping the Lightning Splitting Grass. She originally wanted to ask Mo Wuji why was he here with his low cultivation level. And since he entered, why would he come so far? Given Mo Wuji¡¯s pace by foot, even if he did not stop to rest, he should not have reached here so quickly. What she did not know was that Mo Wuji had actually ran for a few days and nights just to get so far. Mo Wuji said helplessly, "I don¡¯t know. I just kept walking and when I finally stopped, I¡¯ve arrived here." Qu Wan¡¯Er noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s reluctance to speak the truth so she did not question him any further. Instead, Hou Yucheng took the initiative to ask, "Brother Mo, there is an icy mountain nearby and I¡¯ve heard that it has two Flowers of the True Gods of the ice and water attribute. Do you want to follow us to check it out?" Mo Wuji stared blankly for a moment. Dong Lun was out to kill Zheng Hefei because he was afraid that the secrets of the icy mountain might be revealed but everyone knows about it now? Qu Wan¡¯Er hurried to say, "Senior Hou, Pill Master Mo is only in Channel Opening Stage while everyone who will be heading to the icy mountain are experts. I don¡¯t think it is suitable for Pill Master Mo to go." Hou Yucheng laughed, "I feel that despite being only at Channel Opening Stage, brother Mo has sufficient confidence to enter the icy mountain." "Senior Qu, how did you all find out about the icy mountain?" Mo Wuji was very curious about this. Qu Wan¡¯Er replied, "It is not just us, at least a hundred others know about the icy mountain in this area too. They are also aware of the existence of the Flower of the True Gods on the icy mountain. Have you been to the One Dao House¡¯s auction sale? The map that they were auctioning depicts this area." Back at the auction, he predicted that the secrets of the map would not be safe and he was right as the secrets were indeed revealed. Mo Wuji was never interested in the Flower of the True Gods and since so many people found out about it, he dismissed the idea of heading towards the icy mountain. It would be a joke for someone like him to go and compete with these experts for the Flower of the True Gods. "Oh yes, senior Qu, is it true that there is an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal in the Five Elements Desolate Domain?" Mo Wuji casually asked Qu Wan¡¯Er before she left as he remembered that he still had no clue on where to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. Hou Yucheng, who was standing by the side, said, "It is natural for the Five Elements Desolate Domain to have it because the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is a top grade treasure. It is worth even more than the Flower of the True Gods. I¡¯ve heard that this item could only grow under icy conditions which is why there is a chance of an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal appearing at the place we¡¯re heading towards." After hearing this, Mo Wuji¡¯s spirits were lifted and he said, "Senior Qu, brother Hou, I would like to rest for a while first. Would it be possible for me to follow you two join the crowd afterwards?" Hou Yucheng smiled and said, "No problem at all. Please rest well brother Mo, we will leave two days later as we are a little tired too." One had to admit that Hou Yucheng spoke with wonderful demeanor as he showed ample respect even to a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji. Since Hou Yucheng had already said it, Qu Wan¡¯Er naturally did not refute. Moreover, she still owed Mo Wuji a favour. The moment Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er left, Mo Wuji immediately took out a Spirit Depositing Pill, clenched some Earth grade spirit stones and started to circulate his spiritual energy. This was the first time he used a pill to cultivate and that was only because he was hurt quite badly by the lightning bolt earlier. Most of the spiritual energy in the surrounding was completely absorbed by Mo Wuji, who was originally at the pinnacle of Channel Opening Stage Level 8. He then managed to advance past Channel Opening Stage Level 8 into Channel Opening Stage Level 9. As the elementary energy around Mo Wuji started to circulate, the speed of his recovery increased tremendously. After more than two hours, Mo Wuji let out a loud cry before standing up. Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Additionally, his wounds were recovering a lot quicker due to his advancement in level. Advancing from Level 8 to Level 9 was as easy as a canal forming when the water comes. [1] He cleaned himself up before changing to a fresh set of clothes. Even though he still looked battered, he definitely looked much better compared to when he first crawled out of the lightning lake. As Mo Wuji walked out, he saw Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er conversing from afar. Seeing Mo Wuji walked out, the duo walked over. As Hou Yucheng¡¯s eyes fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, his eyes lit up as he cupped his fist and said, "Congratulation Brother Mo on advancing once again." Mo Wuji also cupped his fist as he replied, "Compared to Brother Hou, my cultivation level is really nothing much." After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s cry just now, Qu Wan¡¯Er knew that there was an increase in Mo Wuji¡¯s strength yet again. She was very surprised because given his poor spiritual roots, he should at most be recovering from his wounds. Who knew that within just two hours, not only did Mo Wuji¡¯s wounds almost fully recovered, he managed to advance to the next Channel Opening Stage Level too. "Pill Master Mo, do you really have low grade spiritual roots?" Qu Wan¡¯Er could not help but asked. Mo Wuji laughed out loud, "I wish I did not have such poor spiritual roots too. The pity was that the few times I tested, they all proved that I only have low grade spiritual roots. Otherwise, I would not have been reduced to just a guest pill refiner at a sect. Fortunately, even though I have poor spiritual roots, my perceptions are still decent which is why I could still advance every now and then." Hou Yucheng said with a serious tone, "Brother Mo has great perseverance and verve so I am sure your future achievements will definitely not be lesser than mine." Qu Wan¡¯Er knew that this was just Hou Yucheng¡¯s kind words as Mo Wuji simply cannot be compared to a Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s genius who was about to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace. To prevent Qu Wan¡¯Er from questioning any further about his spiritual roots, Mo Wuji took the initiative to ask Hou Yucheng, "Brother Hou, I¡¯ve heard that the Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s senior Yang Yingping is really decent. May I know if this is true?" "Haha, Brother Mo is indeed a man of temperament. Junior apprentice Sister Yang Yingping is indeed my Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s genius disciple. Other than her unparalleled looks, her cultivation level is definitely not lower than mine. If Brother Mo is interested in junior apprentice sister Yang Yingping, I could introduce you to her," Hou Yucheng laughed as he said without considering that Mo Wuji might not worthy of her. Mo Wuji shook his hand hurriedly, "How can a person with such low cultivation level like me ever woo Senior Yang? I casually inquired about it because I¡¯ve heard people talking about it." Hou Yucheng said without putting his words to heart, "Brother Mo need not belittle yourself because given the quality of your spiritual roots, it is already very impressive to become a Tier 3 pill refiner. This is not something anybody could easily accomplish. I believe that Brother Mo will eventually make it into the Heaven Seeking Palace. After getting out of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, both junior apprentice Sister Yangping and I will be heading for the Heaven Seeking Palace. We will definitely have more opportunities to meet in the future." "These are all things of the future. Senior Qu and Brother Hou, why don''t we head over to the icy mountain now," Mo Wuji guessed that Hou Yucheng might still have his doubts over him after watching him got hurt in the lightning lake. "All right¡­" Qu Wan¡¯Er realised that Mo Wuji did not have his bracelet on his wrist after finishing her sentence, "Pill Master Mo, did you lose your bracelet?" Mo Wuji answered awkwardly, "I probably lost it back at the lightning lake. Forget it, I will just follow behind Senior Qu and I''m sure I will remember the route back." Mo Wuji did not lose his bracelet in the lightning lake but dropped it back at the cave. When he was frightened by the demonic beast, he did not even retrieve a single piece of clothing, let alone a bracelet. He did saw a bracelet back on Zheng Hefei¡¯s body. However, he did not dare to take Zheng Hefei¡¯s bracelet because who knew if he marked his bracelet with any special notation? "It is just a bracelet, it doesn''t make too much of a difference. Just as Brother Mo mentioned, I don''t think they will not let one person out just because he did not have his bracelet with him," Hou Yucheng laughed as he added. The three of them changed direction before hurrying off. Both Qu Wan¡¯Er and Hou Yucheng did not move at their fastest speed to make sure that Mo Wuji could catch up with them. Hou Yucheng even explained to him about many people, objects and the origins of the different sects on their way. Even though they were rushing, Mo Wuji did not feel bored at all and he even learnt a lot from him. Half a day later, the three of them started to feel the cold which reminded Mo Wuji of the Ice Burst Talisman. As they move forward, it felt as though they were moving closer to the heart of the Ice Burst Talisman. After half an incense¡¯s time, a continuous stretch of ice mountains appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s line of sight. This continuous stretch of ice mountains resembled a boundless stretch of hills, one after another without any end in sight. Beyond the depths of the ice mountains, Mo Wuji saw a humongous icy mountain in which it¡¯s peak was too high to be seen. This humongous icy mountain was located in between many shorter ice mountain similar to a crane in a flock of chickens. The reflection of the sunlight by the icy mountain made Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes a little uncomfortable. Mo Wuji had forgotten about the coldness in front of such a splendid scenery of the icy mountains. "That is the tallest icy mountain which many people had already explored. We should hurry too," Qu Wan¡¯Er pointed to that humongous icy mountain as she spoke. What she said was right, there was indeed a continuous stream of people travelling to and from it. It was very obvious as their shadows were reflected against the background. The trio sped up as they hurried to the region holding the many smaller ice mountains. After stepping into the region with the smaller icy mountains, Mo Wuji realised how difficult it was to run quickly in here. Everywhere was frozen and the icy road below their feet was so slippery they could easily slip and fall. If they were not careful, they could get hurt by falling onto a sharp piece of ice. The humongous icy mountain looked near but it was actually very far away. The trio spent an entire hour to reach the foot of the icy mountain. Over a hundred people gathered at the foot of the icy mountain and there was actually even more people running here. Mo Wuji noticed that a few shadows were already scaling the icy mountain but it seemed very difficult to do so because of its slippery surface. To climb up, one had to continuously carve out a foothold. However, the frozen ice were extremely hard and it took one guy half a day to carve out just half a foothold. "Let¡¯s go check it out too," Qu Wan¡¯Er turned and told Hou Yucheng the moment she saw that a few cultivators were already scaling the icy mountain. As soon as Qu Wan¡¯Er finished talking, a strong wind blew and a cultivator scaling the mountain was thrown off and disappeared. Additionally, the foothold that he carved out previously was smoothened out too. [1]: It is an english translation for the idiom Ë®µ½Çþ³É which means that when conditions are right, success will follow naturally. Chapter 140: I’ve Always Loved Helping Others Chapter 140: I¡¯ve Always Loved Helping Others Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Qu Wan''Er''s mouth went agape as words no longer came out. She looked around at the surrounding people, and no one seemed to find it shocking. Clearly, this wasn''t the first time such a thing happened. At the moment, the few cultivators who were blown away by the tempest hurried to slide down. They didn''t even climb the icy mountain for a few minutes, but if they continued to climb higher, it would get more dangerous. "No one can confirm whether there''s truly a Flower of the True Gods up there. If there isn''t and we climb up there, won''t we be wasting our efforts?" A female cultivator looked up at the towering icy mountain and lamented. The mountain was so high, that even it''s peak could not be seen. No one responded to her words. Whether or not there was a Flower of the True Gods, they would know it well in their own hearts. Those who chose not to believe it can leave; then there would be one less competitor. Hou Yucheng suddenly stepped forward and said, "Friends, I feel that this solo acts and competing among ourselves will not work. Even if someone here managed to reach the top, it would be hard to get down." "What kind of thing are you?" A big man with a face full of beard coldly glanced at Hou Yucheng. He was already at the Yuan Dan Stage, and this Hou Yucheng clearly wasn''t in the Yuan Dan Stage, yet he dared to spout such nonsense. Hou Yucheng maintained a smile on his face, not a half bit aggravated as he said, "I''m not a thing, I''m Heaven Demon Sect''s Hou Yucheng." Hearing that Hou Yucheng was from the Heaven Demon Sect, the big, bearded man did not continue nitpicking on him. The Heaven Demon Sect was one of the three great ¡®Heaven¡¯ Sects: Heaven Sword Island, Heaven Aria Palace and Heaven Demon Sect. Don''t underestimate it because it was the last among the three sects, the sect practises some strange and occult arts. You might suddenly die and you still wouldn''t understand what happened. "Does Brother Hou have a better idea?" Another person stood up and clasped his fists towards Hou Yucheng. "I don''t dare," Hou Yucheng graciously clasped his fists to return the gesture before saying "At the mountain, the cold wind is perennially blowing and whistling, the higher you go, the stronger the winds. What I''m suggesting is for everyone to work together to carve steps into the ice. This is the most effort saving and safest method to go up." "Won''t the people who come after us get to free load from our efforts?" The big bearded man frowned and said. Hou Yucheng smiled faintly but did not respond to the big bearded man''s words. The big bearded man snorted; even though his cultivation was higher than Hou Yucheng, he did not dare cause a ruckus here. A thin and small cultivator took the initiative to say, "As we are climbing the mountain, the strong winds will level the steps behind us in no time at all. But with so many of us going up, there definitely won''t be that many Flowers of the True Gods. Then, distribution will be a problem." The big bearded man glared at him fiercely, "Distribution? Whoever is capable will fight for it, the rest can just screw off." A few Spirit Building Stage cultivators self-consciously retreated from the group. With their cultivation, taking part would only be paving the way for others. Seeing that Mo Wuji did not have any intentions of retreating, Qu Wan''Er slightly furrowed her brows and took the initiative to dissuade him, "Pill Master Mo, why don''t you stay here for now?" Mo Wuji smiled lightly, "It''s okay, I can also take part in digging the steps. It''s always good to have extra help." "Pui!" A lady heard Mo Wuji''s words and could not help but laughed out loud. Mo Wuji''s entire body did not pulse with spirituality; instead, it was plain and calm like an ordinary mortal. As a cultivator, anyone could tell that Mo Wuji''s talent was low, and his cultivation was ordinary. After all, the stronger a cultivator, the stronger his spirituality. "Little boy, you shouldn''t even be at the Spirit Building Stage right? If you go up, all you would be doing is digging steps. You should just stay here, even if there are a lot of Flowers of the True Gods, there won''t be enough for you," The lady who laughed aloud added. The lady''s looks were ordinary and her speech brought with it a tone of ridicule, but Mo Wuji knew she was not evil at heart. She should know that with his low cultivation, following them would only be a waste of his efforts. Ultimately, he might not even be able to reach the peak. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Senior, many thanks for your warm intentions, but I¡¯ve always liked helping others since I was young. I''m not even afraid to help up a fallen old man, what more digging some steps? Being able to help the senior brothers and sisters here is my honour." Many of the cultivators there were dumbfounded by Mo Wuji''s words, even Hou Yucheng didn''t understand the intention behind Mo Wuji''s words. But everyone could understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji''s last sentence: even with Mo Wuji''s low cultivation, he was willing to take the risk to dig the ice stairs. On the other hand, it was the big bearded man who started chuckling as he said to Mo Wuji, "You''re a promising lad." With that, he turned and stared at Hou Yucheng, "Now there are more than 60 people who are willing to go up together. You''ll allocate the manpower, and we''ll start right now." The others also turned to look at Hou Yucheng, clearly wishing for him to lead them with his stair digging idea. Hou Yucheng clasped his fists and said, "Initially, I was about to suggest splitting into two groups, but since there''s only 63 people now, I would advise everyone to work together to dig out a curved ice steps upwards. The icy mountain is tough, and it would be very difficult for a single person. But if we all work together, it would be more than ten times easier." "OK, we''ll do just that." The big bearded man clapped his hands and retrieved his magic treasure; it was an exquisite fine-scale awl. The others also did not have any disagreements and they each took out their magic treasures. Mo Wuji only had his Tian Ji Pole so he could only take that out. "Your magic treasure is a metal pole?" Qu Wan''Er was a bit speechless. It was not as though there weren''t cultivators who used the pole as a weapon but they were as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns. For someone of Mo Wuji''s cultivation who dared to use the pole as a magic treasure, he definitely had to be the first. "Good. Unique. Ha Ha." The big bearded man laughed as he took his spot. Hou Yucheng was also rather astonished. He had always thought that Mo Wuji''s magic treasure would be something related to lightning, never would he expect that Mo Wuji would just pick up a metal pole. He soon regained his countenance as he said loudly, "Everyone, let''s begin." "Hong Hong Hong Hong¡­" The multiple magic treasures landed on the icy mountain at the same time, causing a powerful tremor. With elemental energy infused in the attack, a single attack was able to break open a step on the tough icy mountain. Everyone celebrated. Climbing the mountain truly required everyone''s combined efforts. This definitely wasn''t a simple outcome of 1 + 1. It far exceeded that. As Mo Wuji''s cultivation was the lowest, he was assigned to be at the extreme side. This was the most dangerous place, but he was in no position to reject it. After keeping that this place might have the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, he had set his mind to climb up. Fortunately, Mo Wuji''s attack power with the Tian Ji Pole was not bad, and the rest did not deny his participation. Furthermore, to the others here, a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji definitely did not have a chance to obtain the Flower of the True Gods, so he was simply akin to free labour. Explosive sounds could be heard, ice dregs flew about, the crowd managed to slowly advance upwards. At their back, a winding ¡®S¡¯ shaped ice road could be seen snaking upwards. In just a single day, the group managed to climb to the mountain''s halfway mark. The ¡®S¡¯ shaped road behind them was also gradually fading away. "Friend, I think everyone here all underestimated you. I am Cheng Qiyu from the Golden Spear Sect." By Mo Wuji''s side was a medium built youth. As they got higher, his shock got higher as well. This was because the steps carved by Mo Wuji was no lesser than his; it might even be better. What confused him was that every time Mo Wuji dug a step, he would first punch a deep hole with his metal pole. This was simply wasting more elemental energy. From these acts alone, he could tell that Mo Wuji''s abilities was not limited to the Channel Opening Stage. "Rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji. Brother Cheng''s name sure is unique," Mo Wuji smiled and said. Along this journey, he could tell that this Cheng Qiyu should roughly be in the Spirit Building Stage Level 4. However, this Cheng Qiyu''s endurance did not seem to be much stronger than his. Along the way, he did not consume any pills but he still had energy. On the other hand, this Cheng Qiyu seemed to be getting tired. Cheng Qiyu laughed self-deprecatingly, "I came up with this name myself. My original name was Cheng Qiyu [1]. The Cheng Clan gave birth to a genius cultivator, Cheng Heshen, and we had to give countless of cultivation resources to that Cheng Heshen. I was unwilling, so I left the Cheng Clan, and with some luck, I managed to enter the Golden Spear Sect." Doubts formed within Mo Wuji''s heart, like how did this Cheng Qiyu manage to get a placing to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain? However, these weren''t questions for him to ask. "Brother Mo, as a rogue cultivator, you managed to get here¡­" Cheng Qiyu did not manage to finish his words when a icy cold tempest came bounding over. There were no signs, the wind just suddenly came crashing over. In the previous day, the group did not meet with the attacks of tempests and they all felt that their previous thinking had been far too conservative. None of them would have expected that in this moment when they lowered their guards, a mad tempest would blast over. The shadows of tens of cultivators disappeared along with the wind. The previous ''S¡¯ shaped road had also disappeared. Being carried away at this height, the chances of surviving was not much more than zero. Mo Wuji and Cheng Qiyu were also subjected to the strong winds. Mo Wuji''s reaction was extremely fast; at almost the same instant the wind came blowing, he threw his body to the ice step. At the same time, he fetched his sharp knife and stabbed it into the hole. His actions were smooth and fluid, with no time wasted. He seemed to have practised this in his head multiple times. With all these, Mo Wuji still had the time to extend his hand and made a grab. Cheng Qiyu, who had already been blown away, had quite good luck. One of his leg had been grabbed by Mo Wuji and his entire body fell onto the ice step. Once his entire body is planted down, the effects of the strong winds lessened by quite a bit. Cheng Qiyu tightly grabbed a groove within the step, not daring to let go. The roaring wind came and left quickly. By the time the wind was gone, the group found that there were more than 10 among them who had disappeared. The group had now many empty spaces. "Big brother Mo, thank you." Even though Cheng Qiyu''s cultivation was higher than Mo Wuji, he still emotionally bowed and expressed his gratitude towards Mo Wuji. He even addressed Mo Wuji as ''Big brother¡¯. Mo Wuji had just saved his life; his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. One must know that in that kind of situation, even if they could make it in time to extend a hand, others definitely wouldn''t do so. Those that extend their hands to save others would also put themselves in greater danger. Mo Wuji patted Cheng Qiyu''s shoulder and chuckled, "It''s nothing much. I told you before, I¡¯ve always loved helping others. Don''t you see me here helping everyone dig ice steps?" [1] Confused? There are two different Qi. His current Qi, Æú, means abandon. While his previous Qi, Æë,means gather. His Yu Óñ refers to Jade. He changed his name to reflect his changing attitudes towards riches and resources. Chapter 141: Ism A Good Person Chapter 141: I''m A Good Person Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "You''re actually alright?" The big bearded man stared at Mo Wuji in shock; there were only a little than 60 people, and now more than 10 of them were gone. Mo Wuji was at the extreme edge of the group, and his cultivation was also the lowest. Logically, Mo Wuji should have been the first one to be carried away by the tempest. However, in reality, among the people carried away, Mo Wuji precisely wasn''t one of them. Mo Wuji snickered, "I came to serve everyone, and help everyone reach the peak. But we''re not even there yet, so how could anything happen to me?" "Not only is he alright, the guy beside him was saved by him," A tall and lanky man said as he sized Mo Wuji up. Qu Wan''Er finally started to believe Hou Yucheng¡¯s words; Mo Wuji was truly a little peculiar. To remain unscathed after that situation, was it something possible for a simple Channel Opening Stage cultivator? Only Cheng Qiyu understood what happened, he was extremely impressed as he praised, "Big brother Mo, I finally understand why you would first dig a hole in the ice. So it''s a life saving measure." Mo Wuji was just about to say something when he suddenly thought of something, he immediately bent down and picked up a piece of ice dregs. As he felt the ice dregs in his hand, Mo Wuji was sure of one thing: the thing in his hands weren''t ice dregs but some sort of jade stone similar to ice. This was already the halfway point of the mountain; an ice-like jade stone would not appear here out of coincidence. There was only one possibility: someone placed it here. Why would someone place this ice-like object at the halfway point of the ice mountain? Unless¡­ As he thought of this, Mo Wuji sat on the step and placed his hand into the ice hole. Mo Wuji¡¯s conjunctions were immediately confirmed The thing at the the bottom of the ice hole wasn''t ice, but the same sort of material which felt like ice. "Being able to protect your own little life with your cultivation is already impressive. I never expected that you would even think of saving others under that dangerous situation," The big bearded man looked at Mo Wuji and chortled. In his heart, he felt that a guy like Mo Wuji had long been extinct. Mo Wuji stood up and chuckled, "Because I''m a good person, I want to help everyone. Everyone''s happiness is the true happiness, mine doesn''t really matter." Qu Wan''Er looked at Mo Wuji speechlessly. If she did not personally witness Mo Wuji borrowing the Six-footed Lightning Crocodile''s lightning to kill Huo Zhenghu, she might have believed his words. Initially, she did think that Mo Wuji was truly helpless in that situation, and was unable to save Huo Zhenghu. However, as she recollected on what happened, it wasn''t that Mo Wuji chose not to save Huo Zhenghu, he even intentionally led the lightning crocodile to attack Huo Zhenghu. After knowing that Mo Wuji was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner who even managed to obtain placings within the Five Elements Pill Competition, Qu Wan''Er was definite that Mo Wuji wasn''t the good person who helps others unconditionally as he had described himself to be. However, she did not feel disgust towards towards Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji formed a deeper and firmer impression in her heart. She admired a person like Mo Wuji. On the other hand, the death of a trash like Huo Zhenghu was simply just another death. Hou Yucheng was also sure that he was not wrong, Mo Wuji was not simple. He also clapped his hands and said, "Everyone let''s continue to push hard. Please be more alert for the wind, after all, there aren''t any warning signs." Mo Wuji had some apprehensions in his heart; he already lost his interest in digging upwards. He had a feeling that within this ice mountain, there might be an entire structure built entirely with this ice-like material. He was still contemplating whether it was possible for him to dig downwards alone. "Everyone wait¡­ there''s something here, it seems to be ice jadestone¡­" A surprised voice called out, and a girl raised a piece of crushed ice dregs. Mo Wuji lamented, it seems like he wasn''t the only who discovered it. Just now, everyone threw their bodies to the ground to avoid the wind, it was expected that someone else discovered it. The big bearded man grabbed the ice dregs from the girl''s hand, and after a short examination, he confirmed, "This friend is not wrong, we are not standing on ice." Hou Yucheng also took a step forward and accepted the ice dregs. After a few breaths time, Hou Yucheng passed it over to another cultivator and nodded, "If I''m not wrong, there should be a huge palace below us. This palace should be built using the ice jadestone, but I wonder who would spend such effort and resources." After they heard Hou Yucheng''s words, everyone exhaled a breath of cold air. An ice jadestone palace as massive as this ice mountain? How much ice jadestone would that require? And of all these ice jadestone were brought out, how many gold coins could they exchange it for? "I suggest that everyone start digging downwards," After a brief moment of silence, another cultivator stood up and said. Compared to the unreliable Flower of the True Gods at the summit, the huge palace below them was much more tempting. No one objected to that idea as everyone stared at the ground beneath them with a glimmer in their eyes. Perhaps what awaited them below was a palace full of treasures. Cheng Qiyu saw Mo Wuji casually throwing away the ice dregs in his hand, and his heart thumped strongly. Even if he didn''t examine that piece of ice, he could guess that it should be ice jadestone. That would mean that Mo Wuji had already discovered the ice jadestone, it was just that he chose not to say anything. He was reminded that Mo Wuji was just in the Channel Opening Stage, but his true abilities were no lower than his. Furthermore, Mo Wuji was even able to maintain his own life during that blustering wind. That wasn''t the only thing, Mo Wuji was even able to save him. One must know that Mo Wuji''s position was actually the most susceptible to being blown away. Cheng Qiyu decided firmly in his heart, that had to form good relations with Mo Wuji. Not only was Mo Wuji his benefactor, Mo Wuji was a clever person who would definitely have a promising future. Tens of magic treasures no longer carved upwards but started attacking downwards instead. Huge chunks of ice flew into the air and the round hole enlarged. "There really is an ice jadestone structure down there." The big bearded man grabbed a handful of shredded ice and chortled. The shredded ice in his hand was truly ice jadestone. "It might still be possible that this is an ice jade mountain," A slightly cold voice broke the bearded man''s celebration. The big bearded man¡¯s smile immediately disappeared; he snorted and did not say another word, instead, he swung his fine-scale awl and struck it forcefully downwards. It wasn''t because he didn''t want to say anything, but he knew that the other party was right. It might really be an ice jade mountain. Even though such a huge ice jade mountain had never been heard of before, it didn''t mean that it didn''t exist. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was especially clear that this wasn''t an ice jade mountain and it definitely was a huge palace. Even if it was an ice jade mountain, the center of it had been cleared to form a huge palace. From the moment he set foot on this mountain, and as he slowly dug the steps up, he could discern that the sounds were completely different. Moreover, even though the hole they were digging was not even 3 meters deep, there was already a hollow sound, indicating that it was empty below. "It doesn''t matter whether this is an ice jade mountain, but there definitely is a huge palace below. I can already hear the difference in sounds. Everyone, keep pushing," At this moment, Hou Yucheng stood forward and said. Hou Yucheng did not have the highest cultivation, but he was from the Heaven Demon Sect. Under the circumstances where there weren''t any Heaven Seeking Palace cultivators, the status of the Heaven Demon Sect was definitely one of the top. Additionally, he had his own capabilities, his suggestions had not failed them so far. Thus, no one had any dissentment towards his call to continue digging. The "Hong Hong" sound of magic treasures striking the ground sounded endlessly. No one skived and put in all their efforts to attack the mountainside. As they were digging, another strong tempest swept by, but no one was blown away. Everyone were already deep within the hole, and 90% of the wind''s force did not manage to get to them. "We''ve already dug for so long, but there''s still nothing. How long more do we have to dig?" A cultivator asked, his confidence wavering. At the same time this cultivator opened his mouth, a ''Huala¡¯ sound could be heard; Mo Wuji''s metal pole had struck open a swarthy black hole. "We got through!" The incomparably excited bearded man was the first to reach Mo Wuji''s side. The awl in his hand also struck towards the hole which Mo Wuji made. The hole got bigger, but it was pitch black below and nothing could be seen. Even as the crushed ice fell, no echoes could be heard. "This lad¡¯s not bad, he¡¯s actually the first person to blast open this place, Ha Ha Ha Ha¡­" The big bearded man roared in laughter. At the moment, everyone stopped their attacks. The big hole bored by Mo Wuji and the bearded man was already big enough for multiple people to enter at the same time. There wasn''t even a need to enlarge it any further. Moreover, it might even cause the palace to collapse, and that would be irreparable. "Brother Mo, many thanks. This time, we benefited from your efforts." Hou Yucheng also walked to Mo Wuji''s side and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. Hou Yucheng had always been acting as the leader and even he thanked Mo Wuji. Among the rest of the cultivators, many followed him to nod towards Mo Wuji or clasped their fists to express their appreciation. "How do we get down? Anyone knows how deep it is?" The bearded man frowned as he stared at the pitch black and unfathomably deep hole. No one was able to see the bottom of the hole, they weren''t even able to hear the echoes from the falling ice. More accurately, except Mo Wuji, no one was able to see what was down below. Mo Wuji did not reveal any expression but he was madly celebrating in his heart. He did not know that spiritual will could be used on such a manner. Like the others, his vision wasn''t able to see what was below. However, his spiritual will was actually able to sweep and clearly discern what was through the hole. There was indeed a colossal palace below. It was roughly 100 meters from the hole to the ground. For an ordinary mortal, falling from 100 meters would definitely result in their death. However, no one here was an ordinary mortal. Mo Wuji estimated that if anyone here fell from that height, they would probably only receive light injuries at the most. The four corners of the palace seemed to have ten huge gates. There was some unverifiable objects floating in mid air within the palace, they looked like some sort of lantern. "I will jump down first to help everyone find a path." As everyone was still contemplating over whether they should use a rope to abseil down, Mo Wuji suddenly said. "You''re jumping down?" Not just the bearded man, everyone on the scene looked at Mo Wuji in shock. Was this fella mad? Did he really come to sacrifice his life for everyone else? Mo Wuji said with a straight face, "I''ve said it before. I''m a good guy who always liked helping others. Everyone, wait for my good news." With that, Mo Wuji unhesitatingly jumped into the hole. "Who has an illumination stone?" At that instant, someone remembered of the illumination stone. Chapter 142: The Storage Ring And The Copper Key Chapter 142: The Storage Ring And The Copper Key Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - This question alarmed everyone; Mo Wuji also heard it. Mo Wuji was secretly anxious; if someone takes out an illumination stone and throws it down, they would clearly see that this place was only 100 meters deep. Furthermore, there were even some places in midair which could be stepped on, there was clearly no danger in coming down. Mo Wuji treaded on those lantern like objects and soon reached the ground. The ground was very hard and was built using some unknown material. Even as Mo Wuji landed heavily on it, there were no sounds. Airflow within the palace wasn''t very smooth, and it was rather suffocating. In the shortest time possible, Mo Wuji scanned through the surroundings; there were more than 20 passages which led to some unknown destination. In the center of the hall, there was a stone cauldron. At the side of the stone cauldron hung a corpse. With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji could see that the corpse was grasping a copper key in its hand. The key was around 30 centimeters long. Mo Wuji immediately rushed over and threw the key into his storage bag. Perhaps his speed was too fast, as the corpse''s robes were ruffled by his wind. Mo Wuji used his fastest possible speed to leave the corpse. At this moment, multiple illumination stones dropped in, illuminating the surroundings as though it was daytime. "Friends, it''s very safe down here. You all can come on down," Mo Wuji lifted his head and shouted. In actuality, after the illumination stones were activated, there was no need for Mo Wuji to call out. Everyone could see that it was extremely safe. 40 shadows descended down, and soon, everyone was standing in this moldy, stuffy hall. No one bothered to care about Mo Wuji as they scanned the hall with eyes like an eagle''s, searching around for clues. The corpse by the stone cauldron was the first to be discovered; the bearded man had the highest cultivation, so he was the fastest to arrive by the corpse''s side. At this moment, the people discovered that there were also approximately 20 passages, and some simple drawings on the wall. The location which was most likely to have treasures would be the corpse on the stone cauldron. So as the bearded man landed by the corpse''s side, everyone rushed to surround him. As everyone came over, they brought over some mild wind. With a ''huala¡¯, the corpse fell onto the ground and crumbled. Even its bones disintegrated to ashes. "Ding", a seemingly imperceptible sound was particularly obvious in this silent hall. This light drew the attention attracted the gaze of everyone there. A mottled ring landed and rolled on the ground. This ring coincidentally rolled to the side of a yellow robed cultivator and he immediately rushed to grab it. Storage ring? Everyone''s eyes concentrated on this yellow robed cultivator. Everyone was clear on the immense value of a storage ring. Let''s not talk about storage rings, even storage bags were items not anyone could obtain. There were more than 40 people present, and not more than half of them possessed a storage bag. One must know that anyone who could enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain was definitely a sect''s genius disciple. Even so, not everyone here had their own storage bags. Since that''s the case, a storage ring which was much handier to carry, much more storage space and had much tighter defenses was far more valuable. "Hand the ring over," The bearded man glared at the yellow robed cultivator and spoke in an unkind manner. The yellow robed cultivator was frightened. However, he was truly unwilling to give up this storage ring which belonged to him. In his eyes, this was his luck ah. "Why? I''m the one who obtained it. You can''t just unreasonably take¡­" The yellow robed cultivator gritted his teeth and spoke in a slightly quivering tone. Perhaps he knew deep down that he was definitely unable to keep the storage ring. Now, he simply wanted to ask for some benefits. Mo Wuji shook his head in his mind. If it was him, he would not hesitate to throw the storage ring away. Even if he wanted some benefits, he wouldn''t speak in such a manner. Instead, he would be direct and say: I don''t want this ring. Exchange it with something else. The bearded man laughed menacingly, and the fine-scale awl in his hand began to be wrapped in countless phosphorescence. Elemental energy surged wildly, and even Mo Wuji who was the furthest away felt suffocated. A pressure of death came bounding down, making it difficult to breathe. The cultivators all parted ways and avoided the bearded man. The yellow robed cultivator never expected that the bearded man wouldn''t even negotiate and act immediately. At this moment, he couldn''t even dodge. "Pssh!" Blood sprayed in all directions. The yellow robed cultivator was killed with a single stab of the awl. The bearded man walked over and picked up the storage ring and wore it on his own hand, his eyes darting around the crowd. No one dared to speak; he was the only Yuan Dan Stage cultivator here. The yellow robed cultivator was roughly in the initial levels of the Transcending Mortality Stage, he had no means of resistance against the bearded man. The crowd which originally surrounded the bearded man subconsciously moved to the side. After seeing firsthand the bearded man''s prowess, no one dared to look for their own deaths. Mo Wuji could feel the killing intent in the bearded man''s eyes and his heart instantly sunk. The bearded man was so powerful, if he put his mind to it, it would not be impossible for him to slaughter everyone here. I must go. Just as Mo Wuji was thinking of an excuse to enter a passage, he heard Hou Yucheng chuckle, "Since there isn''t any more treasures here, then I will first enter a passage. Junior Wan¡¯Er, Brother Mo, let''s go together." As he was speaking, Hou Yucheng had already rushed into a passage. Qu Wan''Er followed behind him closely. Mo Wuji did not follow behind Hou Yucheng. Instead, he chose the passage closest to him and charged in. The other cultivators also reacted and they each left the hall through the passages. The killing intent in the bearded man''s eyes dispersed. At the instant he killed the yellow robed cultivator, the intention to massacre everyone here ran through his mind. However, he was still worried. There were a few cultivators half a step into the Yuan Dan Stage. If all 40 of them cooperated and surrounded him, he might not be able to kill them all. If that happens, things would get miserable for him. Hou Yucheng spoke up before he made his decision, causing him to give up on his idea. There were so many passages, who knew where each passage led? Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to rush within the passage. After madly running for a few minutes, Mo Wuji almost felt that he was actually in a hallucination. He was clearly beneath an ice mountain, but he actually felt an extreme, searing heat. And the further he went, his body felt hotter. In another few minutes, Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him was a huge stone room. In the center of the stone room, he saw an earth fire crater the size of washbasin. The earth fire was constantly spurting ember, if the ember was more like magma, Mo Wuji might have thought that he was in front of a volcano. The rich spiritual energy tempted Mo Wuji to simply sit down straight to cultivate. What agitated him even more was the red, fist sized crystal at the mouth of the crater. The red crystal was floating above the earth fire, as though it was being blown up by the air below. On the floor, Mo Wuji also saw many fire crystals. The purity of these crystals were far higher than those he had before. Mo Wuji took a leap forward and swung the Tian Ji Pole, slapping the red crystal at the crater. Mo Wuji immediately placed that fist sized crystal inside his storage bag. Thereafter, Mo Wuji did not immediately retrieve the fire crystals on the floor. His spiritual will sensed the rapid approach of two cultivators. "Ai, so many fire crystals, and of such purity!" One of the two immediately cried out in surprise. The other''s eyes landed on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was standing by the side, seeming as though he had just arrived. Seeing the positions of the fire crystals on the floor, it seemed like Mo Wuji had yet to pick any. "There''s nothing here for you. You can leave now." The person at the back, who was staring at Mo Wuji said coldly. Mo Wuji snickered, "Two sirs, please. I was only here to scout for the two of you. Since there aren''t any obstacles, I will leave first. Goodbye." He had to leave. Even though Mo Wuji knew that he had obtained the most valuable item here, seeing how the two fellas got him to leave in such an arrogant manner, without even offering him scraps, infuriated him. If they met again, he would find some way to pay them back. Trying to deal with these two fellas with his current cultivation was simply throwing an egg against a rock. "That person sure is interesting," Seeing Mo Wuji took his leave, the person in front chuckled and said. The person who got Mo Wuji to leave snorted disdainfully, "Just a mere bug. If he didn''t know his place, I would have swatted him with a single palm. Seeing how he worked so hard for free, and even risked his life to scout for us, I gave him a living opportunity." Mo Wuji had already rapidly left that passage. By the time he returned to the hall, there was already no one there. Mo Wuji took a look at the surroundings and started to decide which passage he should enter. He knew that most of these passages were already occupied, so he would go all the way to the passage¡¯s end. Instead, he used his spiritual will to scan ahead for him. If there was already someone there, he would retreat from that passage. With his ability, even if he found something good, he would not be able to snatch it away. Besides the first passage where he found the fire crystals, he saw two cultivators fighting in the second passage. They seemed to be fighting for something. In the third passage, Mo Wuji saw a huge pool of water, and there were three cultivators staring by the side of the pool. In the fourth passage, Mo Wuji saw a huge round wood. By its side, there was a person analysing it. Mo Wuji saw the bearded man in the fifth passage. Besides him, there were also two dead bodies. Mo Wuji did not dare enter any of these passages, especially the one with the bearded fella. Mo Wuji hurried to enter the sixth passage. Finally, there weren''t any other cultivators in this passage. This was because this passage was blocked by a massive stone gate. From the conditions of this gate, it looked like it had been attacked by some cultivators. Seeing that their attacks had no effect on the stone gate, they retreated. Mo Wuji''s eyes landed on the stone gate and he immediately got excited. On the stone gate, there was a huge key hole, and he just happened to have a 30 centimeters long copper key. Chapter 143: The Horrifying Cold Chapter 143: The Horrifying Cold Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji did not even take time to consider as he immediately inserted the copper key into the stone gate''s keyhole. If he was someone else, perhaps he might take some time to slowly examine the gate before acting. But here, he dared not hesitate as someone else might just come at the very next moment. Moreover, the gate was just forcefully attacked not long ago, reassuring Mo Wuji. If there were any traps in place, they would have already been activated. The copper key was the perfect match for the keyhole. With a gentle twist, the stone gate creaked open with a "Gazhi" sound. An intense cold seeped out of the door. Inside, was a vast expanse of white; Mo Wuji was unable to see anything with his vision, and could only scan with his spiritual will. Just as Mo Wuji was scanning, with his spiritual will approximately 100 meters in, two cultivators had already cautiously entered the passage. Mo Wuji immediately removed the key and shoved the gate close. However, no matter how hard he pushed, the gate did not move even a single inch. He could only leave it be and rush in despite the intense cold. "There''s a stone gate here¡­" A cultivator discovered the ajar stone gate and said gleefully. Behind him was a female cultivator. She also saw the stone gate and she soon noticed that it was in the process of closing. When he first opened the stone gate, Mo Wuji tried to forcefully close it shut to no avail. However, now that he had already delved deep in, this stone gate started to close itself automatically. "Shall we go in?" The male cultivator asked hesitantly. The girl didn''t even answer his question; her figure sped up and she rushed into the stone gate in the shortest time possible. Her actions had already told the male cultivator her answer to this question. Seeing the female cultivator entering, the male also increased his speed and followed behind her into the stone gate. After the two entered, the stone gate let out a deep sound before closing shut. "Junior apprentice sister Xia, what place is this?" After entering, the male cultivator discovered that the entire place was pitch white, and immediately muttered slowly. Junior apprentice sister Xia did not immediately answer and was clearly trying to ascertain their situation. Thereafter, she fetched an illumination stone. At the very next instant, she spoke cautiously, "Didn''t think that an illumination stone wouldn''t work here. Even though we don''t know what place this is, but since there was a stone gate blocking it, it definitely isn''t simple. Moreover¡­" As she said this, junior apprentice sister Xia lowered her voice, "Senior apprentice brother Xiuran, we need to be careful. The stone gate was opened, yet it also closed by itself, meaning that someone else must have entered before us. Also, I keep having this feeling that someone is watching me." Mo Wuji was hiding by the side, not making a move. He had already seen this place clearly; this place was a much bigger hall compared to the hall they first landed in. This hall was very weird, besides the vast expanse of icy fog, there was nothing else. There only possible ''thing¡¯ was the hidden entrance at the center of the hall. It seemed to be the entrance to a basement. With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji could only scan to the first tens of ice steps below. The male and female cultivators were still slowly exploring the hall; Mo Wuji knew that they would eventually reach his location. Fortunately, the illumination stone did not work here in this white, icy fog. Mo Wuji decided; his figure flashed and immediately entered the passage leading downwards. He landed on the ice steps below. An overwhelming cold spread over, intimidating Mo Wuji. He almost wanted to simply retreat out of there. "Junior apprentice sister Xia, I just saw a shadow flash past." That senior apprentice brother Xiuran stopped and said cautiously. "I saw it too, let''s go over." With that, junior apprentice sister Xia stepped down into the passage. Ostensibly, she had much bigger balls than her senior apprentice brother Xiuran. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will naturally detected the two following him in. The lower he went, the colder it became. Despite his concentrated efforts to surge circulate his spiritual energy, his body was still slowly frozen to be as rigid as a corpse. If there weren''t these two fellas, he might have chosen to retreat upwards. Now that there were these two fellas following him down, he would definitely encounter them. With his cultivation, he definitely wouldn''t be an opponent for the two of them. Bracing himself, Mo Wuji could only push himself forward. After walking for another ten steps, he really couldn''t take it anymore; this chill will freeze him to death. "Kacha!" At this moment, Mo Wuji''s feet seemed to step on something. His spiritual will was concentrated on the two behind him, and he actually forgot to pay attention to who was below him. At almost the same instant, an illumination stone flew down towards him. The illumination stone did not seem to work in the vast icy fog above, but it was able to clearly illuminate the situation within these ice steps. Mo Wuji had already tripped on something, and with the illumination stone landing on him, he could not help but roll downwards. "I recognise him, it''s that kid with the lowest cultivation¡­Ai¡­" The male cultivator did not finish his sentence as he cried out emotionally, "There''s an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal below¡­" Rolling down a height of more than 30 meters down knocked Mo Wuji senseless. All this wasn''t important to him; in the first few seconds in landed on the ground, his entire body went numb. Even though he heard the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal which he deeply desired, he had no means of getting it. He knew he was going to freeze to death here. The cold here was far too horrifying. Each thread of cold air seemed to seep into his very bones, with no means of resistance. Even his blood froze gradually, and the skin on his hands started to change colour rapidly, turning into an extremely pale white colour. If he were to accidentally knock into something, his hand might just turn into crushed ice. "We can''t go down, it''s far too cold, we can''t take it¡­" The male cultivator walked to Mo Wuji''s previous position and discovered that it was getting increasingly cold. "Kacha¡­" The thing that Mo Wuji stepped on was also stepped on by the female cultivator. She lost her balance and grabbed the still-speaking male cultivator. Due to the extreme cold, the two''s bodies were incomparably rigid and were unable to make an agile reaction. Like Mo Wuji, the two rolled down like snowballs. Mo Wuji had long stopped caring about those two people; his heart was engulfed in sadness. Before entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he did consider that he might not be able to come out. However, he did not really think that he would stay in this place forever. Mo Wuji''s vision gradually turned foggy; he felt his soul leaving his body. The two cultivators landed not far away from him. Even with their superior cultivation, they had to struggle to stand up. However, they weren''t flailing to grab the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, but struggling to return back where they came from. But with a few steps, they sat paralysed on the floor. The terrifying chill left them with completely no chance to resist. Seeing the female cultivator''s face of despair, Mo Wuji''s blurring mind was suddenly shocked awake. Perhaps it was the reflection of light, but Mo Wuji saw Yan¡¯Er¡¯s face. He saw the face that Yan''Er would have if he died. I can''t die. I definitely can''t die. However, this devastating cold was not something which could be defended against with willpower. Even though he didn''t want to die, death still slowly made its way into him. Mo Wuji suddenly thought of the earth fire crater he saw in the first passage. If only there was a huge fire cauldron. That would be good. At the instant he thought of a cauldron, Mo Wuji''s misty eyes shone with light. He had thought of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky. When he first cultivated the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, an intense heat developed within his body, almost burning him to ashes. If he tried using the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style... Since he was already going to freeze to death, Mo Wuji no longer had any fears towards the terrifying Seven Styles Lightning Sky. He did not hesitate to use his last shred of energy to cultivate the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style. In just half a circulation, the terrifying fire started burning within Mo Wuji''s dantian before spreading to the meridians in his body. Mo Wuji began to madly circulate his spiritual energy according to the Seven Styles Lightning Sky skill. Freezing to death, or burning to death, death will still be death. He no longer had any fears and apprehensions. The searing heat finally spread from his meridians to his bones, and from his bones to his flesh. The terrifying heat from the inside and the equally horrifying chill from the outside clashed. Mo Wuji''s entire body started to steam; his hands gradually regained their softness, and his body could slowly begin to feel again. The intermittent hot and cold torture made Mo Wuji feel an indescribable pain. However, what filled his heart was incomparable joy. When he first cultivated the incomplete Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style, his cultivation almost went into deviation and he almost burnt himself from the inside. Now, in this freezing cold environment, cultivating the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style only resulted in some torturous pain, but at least his life was not in danger. The same thing, but in different environments could actually have such a huge difference. A skill which almost terminated his life ended up saving it. As for the pain, Mo Wuji had already experienced a fair share of pain and he could still endure it. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji felt as though something had broke inside him, and an indescribable power filled his dantian and meridians. Mo Wuji lifted his hands and waved it, countless lightning shredded the surroundings. The lightning obliterated a huge chunk of ice, and Mo Wuji could not help but stare at his own palm excitedly. He knew that his body contained some essence of lightning which would be occasionally exhibited without warning. But this was his first time actually controlling it. The inner fire seemed to diminish and the outer chill began to take advantage. Mo Wuji did not dare try the first style again and began to unceasingly cultivate it. Mo Wuji soon discovered that the feeling of the inner fire was disappearing gradually, which would mean that continuing in this style would not result in the terrifying fire. If this was a typical situation, it would be a call for celebration. But now, it was affecting his survival. The moment this inner fire extinguishes, he would have no means of defending against the cold. Mo Wuji''s gaze landed on the two cultivators; they had long been frozen to death and had become two ice statues. Not far from them, from a round ice altar. There were two ice flower-like things on that ice altar. There were no leaves; below the flower, was a 15 centimeters long stem which was like an ice cream. Mo Wuji had never seen the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, and he dare not claim that the flowers were Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. He only heard it from the words from the male cultivator''s mouth, and guessed that it should be so. This thing was like a living plant. It was unlike the dead and unmoving crystal which he expected. Chapter 144: Little Chicken and Chu Xingzi Chapter 144: Little Chicken and Chu Xingzi Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The chill from the surroundings gradually became stronger, and based on Mo Wuji¡¯s estimates,it wouldn¡¯t be long before he returned to his previous frozen state. A flame would burn within him while training in Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style, but now that he had succeeded in acquiring this technique, the intensity of the burning sensation was greatly reduced when he continued to circulate his energy based on it. Once the burning sensation left him, he would turn into the sorry state of the man and woman that entered with him. Mo Wuji dared not hesitate any further, he quickly harvested both ice flowers together with their 15cm roots, and rushed back up the icy stairs. Half an incense¡¯s time later, Mo Wuji stood once again in the hall that he originally came from, panting heavily. Fear lingered in his heart as he peered down the icy stairs that led below. He had almost died down there. He was sure that the treasures that lay below were not only these two stalks of Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. Perhaps there were even more valuable items there, but he dared not stay in that icy hell for a moment longer. Both stalks of ice flowers gave off a cooling aura in his hands, making him especially clear headed. Mo Wuji was confident that even if these were not Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, they should at least be something extremely valuable. Two long jade boxes appeared in his hands, and Mo Wuji carefully placed the two stalks of Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals into them, before returning both into his storage bag. His reward for almost freezing to death down there, was at least succeeding in the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style. No, perhaps what he learnt was not the real Seven Styles Lightning Sky. After all, the pictures were incomplete, part of the energy circulation path unclear, and all these uncertainties were resolved based on his understanding in the Immortal Mortal Technique. Regardless, he could control lightning attacks now. At this point, Mo Wuji circulated his energy, used various hand techniques, then thrust a single hand out. Six to seven streams of energy burst out, before a bright flash of lightning exploded around him. Sadly, Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style was not aesthetically pleasing. Only spiritual energy was released, and no electric arcs appeared. The spiritual energy only exploded into a flash of lightning after being released, instead of directly coming out as lightning. As a result, there was a distinct lack of artistic beauty to the technique, which made it seem neither here nor there. Once again, Mo Wuji formed multiple hand techniques. This time, he did not release streams of spiritual energy, but rather gathered them all together. "Bang!" A burst of lightning many times greater than before caused the ground a few metres ahead of him to blow up. The sturdy ground exploded with a bundle of lightning sparks, and ice fragments lying on the floor immediately got blown to bits. Mo Wuji satisfactorily looked at his hands. While the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style was not pleasing to the eye, it was very practical. But the prerequisite would be that he could not let the lightning dissipate, which would greatly reduce the technique¡¯s impact. Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style was called Electric Storm, yet he was sure that this was different from what Electric Storm was supposed to be. Why not call it Lightning Flash? This name sounds much more stylish than Electric Storm. It¡¯s almost as different as the heavens and the earth. Mo Wuji sighed to himself one last time, before taking a final look at the icy staircase behind him reluctantly. There were good stuff down there, but it was a pity that all he could do was look from a distance. Leave this hall of ice quickly, it¡¯s really cold here. Frantically charging back to the stone door, Mo Wuji was still worried that it did not have a keyhole on the inside, which meant that he was trapped. After all, he was in a rush when coming in, so there was no time to inspect the door closely. Thankfully these worries were unfounded, and there was an obvious keyhole in the stone door, identical to the one outside. Only then did Mo Wuji heave a sigh of relief, and took out the key. Just as he was going to put the key into the keyhole, a low rumbling sound came from outside. That¡¯s not good, someone¡¯s coming. From these sounds, they must be attacking the stone door. Hence Mo Wuji dared not open the door. After listening to the sounds by the door for some time, he realised that the attacks did not reduce in intensity, but rather became stronger. He no longer stayed near the door, quietly sneaking to a secluded corner of the large hall before stopping. At this moment, Mo Wuji kept praying that the stone door would not be opened. Once it did, this hall was only so big, thus he would be found eventually. A good two hours passed by, and the roaring and banging from the stone door¡¯s position carried on. However, the door did not budge at all, neither did it give any sign of opening. Now Mo Wuji could truly relax, but this was when the cold set it. Although the top level was much warmer than the freezing depths below, but after a prolonged period of time, it began to become unbearable. So Mo Wuji got to work. He placed a pile of Earth Grade spirit stones beneath him, at the same time taking out Spirit Strengthening Pills. The plan was to use cultivation to fight the cold. While cultivating with the Immortal Mortal Technique was no help in resisting the sub-zero temperature of the lower floor, it would be sufficient for the top floor. Now that he had opened up 72 meridians, he could probably only cultivate until the peak of Channel Opening Stage Level 9, maybe the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Once he hit that, there was no rush to advance to Spirit Building Stage. As Shen Lian said before, if one could cultivate to Channel Opening Stage Level 10, at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9, one would be able to attempt to advance into the Extreme Mortality Stage. Since he had the Channel Opening Solution, naturally he would want to enter the Extreme Mortality Stage. If he could not concoct future batches of channel opening solution, he would not be able to reach Channel Opening Stage Level 10, and to choose to advance into Spirit Building Stage then it still would not be too late. Once he hit the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage, and had no way to advance into the 10th level, then he would just continue training his spiritual will. That was why Mo Wuji took out both spirit stones and Spirit Strengthening Pills at the same time. As Mo Wuji began cultivating, the spiritual energy in the surrounding air came flowing towards him non-stop. Dense spiritual energy swirled around his body continuously, and the True Yuan within him stirred, expelling all traces of coldness out. The dense spiritual energy, coupled with the pile of spirit stones that he took out, made his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds. In only three days¡¯ time, he had reached the Great Circle of Spirit Opening Stage Level 9. As expected, he could not advance to the 10th level. Swallowing an Inedia Pill, Mo Wuji carried on with training his spiritual will the the Spirit Strengthening Pill. At this point, Mo Wuji knew having spiritual will was an advantage. If he did not have greater spiritual will than others, he would have been no different from other cultivators at Channel Opening Stage Level 9, much less able to come so far and obtain the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. Time gradually passed by as Mo Wuji cultivated. Initially, he was still worried that the stone door would get blasted open, but eventually he immersed himself in training his spiritual will. As for the stone door, this matter was thrown to the back of his mind. An unknown amount of time later, he felt that his spiritual energy had reached another extreme, then burst open again, seemingly advancing to a new realm. Mo WUji then opened his eyes suddenly, sweeping his spiritual will out. His spiritual will, many times stronger than before, instantly swept through every nook and cranny in the hall. A feeling of power overwhelmed him, making Mo Wuji restless for a Spirit Building Stage expert to test out his new strength and see exactly how much of a gap there was. There was a certain level of confidence in his heart; now that he had such powerful spiritual will, he stood a fighting chance against cultivators in the initial Spirit Building Stage,. "Ah!" Mo Wuji stood up with a loud yawn, but before he checked which pills were left, his spiritual will abruptly stopped. He saw a patch of complex runes, which he thought he had seen before somewhere. Ah! The bracelet had some runes like this. Previously when he found out the bracelet could give directions, and used his spiritual will to take a peek in it, the runes found inside were rather similar to what was before him now. These runes were very detailed, some even having explanations in words. Retracting his spiritual will, Mo Wuji decided to check on the stone door, then take a look at the runes. There was no change with the door, meaning it had not been opened. In his bottle of Inedia Pills, only five were left. One bottle held 18 pills, so taking into account that he consumed one pill every two days, Mo Wuji realised that he had stayed in there for almost a month. As for Spirit Strengthening Pills, he was almost out of them too. One pill remained out of two bottles of Spirit Strengthening Pills. After keeping the pills and leftover spirit stones, Mo Wuji intentionally walked in front of the stone door to listen for any signs of people. Once he confirmed that there was no one attacking from the outside, he then turned around and head for the corner of the hall with the runes. Walking closer, Mo Wuji could see them clearer with his spiritual will. This did not look like a stone wall, but instead a wall made out of some sort of metal. Countless words littered the wall, squeezed together. Not only were there words, but also various pictures and runes which took up a good half of the wall. [1] He walked in front of the very start of everything on the wall, which clearly wrote, "Little chicken, you want to use this ice hall to lock up your Grandpa Chu Xingzi? Have you eaten too much pig¡¯s brain? Wait till the day that your Grandpa opens this shabby hall, then I¡¯ll come to show you how your Grandpa goes about doing things¡­" "...Little chicken, why don¡¯t you learn something from that woman¡¯s belly. Yes, you¡¯ve trapped your grandpa for a day, but your grandpa wants to tell you little bastard one thing, that woman has been f*cked by me until she puked." Reading until this point, Mo Wuji had drawn an image of a man cursing furiously. One moment using "your father", and another "your grandpa", really reflected the immense rage that this guy called Chu Xingzi held in his heart. Yet Mo Wuji was chuckling to himself. This Chu Xingzi really did not act like an expert. Aren¡¯t all experts well mannered? He seems like a hooligan on the streets cursing another, without a care in the world. "...Good, that woman has indeed passed you everything in her belly. Even though everything she has was given by grandpa, but grandpa is still very unhappy. Grandpa has actually be trapped for a month now¡­" "B*tch, sl*t...Trash that your father f*cked until he threw away. So what if you¡¯ve given everything that your father taught you to that little chicken? Trapping your father for 10 years? Are you really able to confine your father here for his whole life? Little chicken, you actually went to f*ck that b*tch just to learn your grandpa¡¯s array dao? Kneel down and call me grandpa, then grandpa will personally give it all to you." "Good, you¡¯ve called me well, grandpa will pass on his mantle of array dao to you, little chicken. This is at least ten thousand times stronger than anything that b*tch taught you¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He could almost see Chu Xingzi cursing and swearing while he was trapped here. In the end giving in to despair. Reading the last line of words, it was apparent that Chu Xingzi had become deranged from the rage. "Arrays are simple. Setting up an array is like making a cage. There¡¯s living ones, dead one, and those neither living nor dead¡­Look at grandpa¡¯s runes. This first rune is called the Array Initiating Rune, Only with the best Array Initiating Rune can one make the best array,,," As he carried on reading, he became more and more surprised. Chu Xingzi¡¯s description of array dao was detailed yet easy to understand. There were no esoteric terms at all. [1] TL: Runes make up arrays that serve various purposes Chapter 145: Monitor Rune Chapter 145: Monitor Rune Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - In the following half an hour, Mo Wuji was completely engrossed with Chu Xingzi¡¯s knowledge of the Array Dao. When he saw something spectacular, he would immediately copy down the runes. Initially, he had no knowledge of arrays, and these runes were like rocket science, dizzying him. Now that he had immersed himself in it, he found the inexplicable charm and attractiveness of these runes. Even in his closed door cultivation, Mo Wuji would remember to eat his Inedia Pills. But now as he delved into his research into runes and arrays, he had completely forgotten about everything else. He was only aroused from his obsession only when his stomach started churning. Mo Wuji retrieved an Inedia Pill but he did not put it in his mouth; he was distractedly gazing at a particular array. Grade 1 Monitor Rune. It can the events which occur within the diameter of 10 meters. The Monitor Rune''s speciality is that it could receive, then transmit¡­ Mo Wuji''s gaze shifted away from this rune and he started to furrow his brows. He somehow felt that this rune was very familiar. His suspicions were soon confirmed as he recalled the rune on the bracelet. No, that''s not true. This rune was far more concise compared to the one on his bracelet. Mo Wuji was no longer a rookie with runes and arrays. He could subconsciously tell that Chu Xingzi''s Monitor Rune was of higher quality compared to the one on the bracelet, and it was only a Grade 1 Monitor Rune. No, the grade of the rune wasn''t my main concern. Mo Wuji slapped his head and finally organised his thoughts. The bracelet just needed an Azimuth Rune to point towards the transfer array. Why was there a need for a Monitor Rune? The only possibility was that this rune was used to monitor the cultivators who entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Why would they do that? Mo Wuji''s heart turned cold. If this Monitor Rune could transmit the information of what happened, then wouldn''t the fact that he killed Dong Lun, and even obtained the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal already be sent out? No, that''s not right. According to the knowledge he just learnt, this kind of Grade 1 Monitor Rune can only transmit within 10 meters. With such a small functional area, it wouldn''t be able to transmit the images of what happened within the desolate domain. If it couldn''t do that, then what? As he slowly made his way with logic, he finally reduced the answer. The bracelet must also have a Memory Rune. When the cultivators leave the desolate domain, they would need to return the bracelets. The people who receive the bracelets would then know what had happened within the desolate domain. Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air as cold sweat trickled down his back. If he had not known of such stuff and simply handed over the bracelet obediently, everything he had done here would have been exposed. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji immediately went to look for the Memory Rune and found it not long after. His guess was confirmed; he did seem to see a similar rune on his bracelet. Chu Xingzi¡¯s knowledge of arrays definitely could not be left behind; this thing was far too useful to him. Seeing the portion which he had yet to read, his heart sunk. He spent the past two days relentlessly studying but he did not even read 1% of the content. That would mean that he would require at least 200 to 300 days to finish reading everything, and that did not include the possible time he might spend pondering over his confusions. Then I will have to copy it. Mo Wuji decided firmly; even if he had to spend all his remaining time cooped up in here, he would have to copy every single thing on this wall. Retrieving a pen, Mo Wuji started madly copying. Except for when he was young and he had to spend the last few days of his holidays madly copying his holiday homework, Mo Wuji had never copied so hard before. Days past and he had already ran through 10 pens. This worried Mo Wuji; he only had a total of 20 pens on him. And he only developed this habit of bringing pens because of the incident with Lan Yu. Previously, Lan Yu did not understand what he said, and he had to write it out for her. Since then, Mo Wuji would always bring a few pens on him. Now with a storage bag, he threw a whole 20 pens into it. Logically, he definitely wouldn''t have depleted his 20 pens. However, he would have never expected that 20 pens would not be enough for his time here in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Luckily, Mo Wuji''s worries came to naught. By the time he finished his 19th pen, he had already completely copied every on the wall. As he piled the pieces of paper together, the mountain that formed was as thick as several books. Mo Wuji stretched his numb wrist. He was already at the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage Level 9, but this 20 days of ¡®simple¡¯ copying were already more than he could bear. If it were any other cultivator with a similar cultivation, they might have to spend a few months. It wasn''t simply because he could write faster, but because he didn''t even need to lift his head; his spiritual will could scan the information directly into his brain, he just needed to write unceasingly with his hands. Time to go out. Mo Wuji stored the papers within his storage bag. He should have spent a little more than two months in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. If he stayed cooped up here, he might truly stay in the desolate domain forever. Returning to the stone gate and inserting the copper key into the keyhole, the indomitable and impenetrable stone gate opened with a "Zhiya" sound. Mo Wuji plucked out the key and rushed out the stone gate. Perhaps one day he might come back again. As Mo Wuji was leaving, he suddenly thought of something. Chu Xingzi had been shut in there for so many years, and he left behind his array knowledge, but what about his actual body? Did he get out? Even if he had died inside, there should be ashes, right? Mo Wuji was sure that the corpse outside wasn''t Chu Xingzi''s. If it was Chu Xingzi, it would not have the stone gate''s key in his hand. After thinking for a good half a day, Mo Wuji still couldn''t make sense of the situation. He could only conclude that Chu Xingzi was down below. He should just rush out for now, these weren''t things for him to think about with his cultivation. If his cultivation was higher and he returned to find Chu Xingzi, he would bring his ashes out for a proper burial. After all, Chu Xingzi was also an esteemed master. Mo Wuji hastened his pace and left the passage, returning to the main hall. There was no one in the hall, just two more corpses. The corpses had already been searched clean. With a quick sweep with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji found that everyone else had already left. Wielding his metal pole, he lifted his head, discerned his direction and jumped. Fortunately, there were those lamp like things floating in the air. He was soon able to reach the hole they first entered in. The hole which led to the outside had already been covered entirely, but Mo Wuji wasn''t worried. There was simply a thin layer of ice that''s all. Elemental energy surged in the Tian Ji Pole and he thrusted upwards. After a few strikes, a fracture appeared in the layer of ice. With a final thrust of his Tian Ji Pole, a hole appeared in front of Mo Wuji. It was pitch white outside. After confirming that there was no one else outside with his spiritual will, he jumped out of the hole and landed by the icy mountainside. The moment he emerged, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to use his sharp knife to dig two small holes. He was totally alone now; he was completely unable to carve ice steps down. However, he was heading down and not climbing up, he just needed to punch some holes in the ice and carefully punch his way down. After a whole day''s time, Mo Wuji finally returned to the foot of the mountain. There was already no one here, and it was completely empty. Besides the blinding light reflected against the ice mountain, there was nothing else. ... Meanwhile, deep within a canyon thousand miles away from the ice mountain, the smell of blood filled with air Tens of corpses laid all over the ground, and the area looked like a mess. One a rare spiritual herb could explain what had happened here. Hou Yucheng slowly wiped the blood off his long flute and hung it on his back. His entire body remained clean; there wasn''t even a speckle of dust on his body and his hair remained neat. On the other hand, everyone else seemed to have traces of blood over their bodies, and even their clothes were tussled. "Junior Wan¡¯Er, are you alright?" It was only after all that did Hou Yucheng turn towards Qu Wan''Er, smiled and asked. Qu Wan''Er''s hair was rather disheveled and there were many bloodstains over her body. She gratefully looked at Hou Yucheng and shook her head. After a while, she said, "I really have to thank Senior Hou for just now. If not for you, I might have lost a limb." Hou Yucheng smiled faintly, "We''re companions, you don''t need to care too much about it. If I was in danger, wouldn''t you also have helped me?" Qu Wan''Er went silent for a moment before she continued, " If I wasn''t greedy and tried to get that Condensate Radish Grass, you wouldn''t have been put in danger trying to save me." Hou Yucheng laughed gently and said, "Junior Wan¡¯Er, you think too much. To me, it doesn''t really matter whether I have to help you once, or help you twice. I¡¯ve said it before, we''re companions after all¡­" As he said this, he momentarily paused before he sighed, "But it''s a real pity with Brother Mo. We still don''t know whether he managed to leave from that ice jade palace. I was the one who invited Brother Mo to the ice mountain, if something happens to him, I will not feel at ease." "Senior Hou seems to pay extra attention to Pill Master Mo?" Qu Wan''Er could not help but ask. This was not the first time Hou Yucheng mentioned Mo Wuji. Hou Yucheng gazed blankly at the messy canyon before him and spoke in a slightly lower tone, "Because I feel that his a different breed of person. He is vastly different from many of these people around us." "Senior Hou is also from the Heaven Demon Sect, aren''t you also different from everybody else. If not for me, Senior Hou wouldn''t need to kill that person." Qu Wan''Er said faintly. She liked Hou Yucheng but Hou Yucheng treated her like a sister, and not that between a man and a woman. Chapter 146: Body Constructing Pill and Body Constructing Grass Chapter 146: Body Constructing Pill and Body Constructing Grass Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - While Mo Wuji left the ice mountain as fast as he could, he realised he was lost. There was less than a month to the set timing for leaving Five Elements Desolate Domain, and he did not have a bracelet. Thus it was now a priority for him to obtain one somehow. As for being lost, Mo Wiji was not worried. Over five thousand people had entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, so he couldn¡¯t believe that not a single one would bump into him in the remaining month. But his greatest regret was that he did not manage to harvest many spiritual herbs, other than a few purple lotuses and lotus flowers. This was especially saddening since Five Elements Desolate Domain was reputed to have countless top tier spiritual herbs in it. This was because since his first day in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, Mo Wuji had been either rushing around, or spending almost two months in the ice mountain. There was simply no chance for him to search for spiritual herbs. In fact, he did not even know which direction to go to search for them. Feeling the density of spiritual energy around him, Mo Wuji chose to move in the direction where spiritual energy was denser. It was three days of sprinting before he stopped. Finally, a cultivator appeared in sight. Although intercepting strangers was still very dangerous for someone with his level of cultivation, he had no choice. This was all for him to find his way out. "What business do you have?" The cultivator saw Mo Wuji suddenly appear, and with a flick of his wrist, a half moon sword jumped into his hands. At the same time, he monitored Mo Wuji cautiously and asked. This cultivator¡¯s face was yellowish, and exuded a dangerous aura. Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully, "My friend, because I¡¯ve lost my bracelet, so could I ask which direction is the way back? If you also intend to go back to the starting point, would you mind travelling with me?" This man had some blood stains on him, hence while Mo Wuji was asking for directions, he still kept his guard up. "Aren¡¯t you Pill Refiner 632 from the Five Elements Pill Competition?" The yellow faced man asked after observing Mo Wuji once more, seemingly more agitated this time. "Yes, I am Pill Refiner 632, who obtained 50th place by a stroke of luck and entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Mo Wuji did not deny it. Since this guy could recognise him, that meant that he had also saw his whole competition proceedings. Upon hearing that Mo Wuji was indeed Pill Refiner 632, the yellow faced cultivator heaved a sigh of relief and kept the half moon blade. Returning a respectful bow, he spoke, "I am Yu Zhi, a rogue cultivator. It¡¯s my pleasure to meet Pill Master Mo." He was aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level, because Pill Master Ming Ning had announced this information. Mo Wuji was only at the Channel Opening Stage. Even if Mo Wuji had entered the Spirit Building Stage, it would not pose a threat to him at all, as he was already at Spirit Building Stage Level 9. Moreover, from his visual analysis of Mo Wuji, Yu Zhi could see that his cultivation level was not very high. A strong cultivator would definitely be unlike Mo Wuji, who had an ordinary aura surrounding him, without any spiritual ripples or disturbances. "So brother Yu is like me, also a rogue cultivator." Mo Wuji said with a smile. But deep inside, he was puzzled. Why would someone like Yu Zhi, whose cultivation was much greater than his, treat a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like him so courteously? Since Yu Zhi knew that he was Pill Refiner 632, this meant that his low cultivation was no longer a secret. "Ah, so Pill Master Mo is a rogue cultivator too." Yu Zhi was pleasantly surprised, as he found something in common with Mo Wuji. This guy must want to make friends with me badly. Mo Wuji was certain of this, otherwise Yu Zhi would not have been so exaggerative. After all, Mo Wuji simply asked for directions. "Pill Master Mo, why don¡¯t you join me¡­" Yu Zhi agreed to Mo Wuji¡¯s request, but followed up after some hesitation, "But can I check if you can concoct Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills?" Mo Wuji paused for a moment, then replied, "I¡¯ve not really concocted many Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, but I believe that after some time, I will be able to make them with a 100 percent success rate." Indeed, Mo Wuji did not concoct any Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, because all the few batches that he attempted had ended up in failure. At that point in time, he had never successfully produced a single Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill. As for his claim of being able to concoct Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, Mo Wuji was worried that Yu Zhi would request for some Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills to be made. But if he claimed that he could not do so, Yu Zhi would disregard him immediately and things would be very bad. It took him three days to meet Yu Zhi, hence if Yu Zhi left, he was unsure how long it would be before he could meet the next cultivator. On top of that, he did not know if the next cultivator would entertain him for so long. Who knew, perhaps the next guy would not bother speaking a single word, but just eliminate him. However, he was not bragging when he said he would be able to concoct Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills without failure soon. His current level of strength was many times greater than the last time he concocted Earth Spiritual Pills, and his spiritual will had levelled up too. Even if he did not have spiritual will techniques, it was not difficult to feel that his spiritual will was at least two levels higher than before. If he could not concoct Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills at his current state, then the number of young pill refiners that could would definitely be very few. But in reality, he had seen young Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiners in the hundreds during the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. Of course in an area as large as the five great empires, with a few hundred Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiners thrown in, each of them would still be very valuable existences. Despite that, this reflected the fact that Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiners were not really that rare. "I would like to request for Pill Master Mo to concoct a batch of Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, please don¡¯t turn me down¡­" Once he heard that Mo Wuji could soon concoct Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills, Yu Zhi¡¯s knees immediately hit the ground, and spoke while choking back tears. This state was completely different from the rugged demeanor that Mo Wuji encountered initially. "Brother Yu, please rise, making Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills isn¡¯t something that amazing, why do you have to go so far?" Mo Wuji quickly pulled Yu Zhi back on his feet. Now he understood why Yu Zhi treated him so politely, it was to ask something of him. But with Yu Zhi¡¯s strength and cultivation, he did not have to resort to such means for a batch of Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills right? However rare Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiners were, he should at least be able to find a couple. There were already hundreds of them present at the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. Yu Zhi took in a deep breath, and answered with a sad tone, "My wife was wounded by some people, and everyday between 3 - 5pm she coughs up blood non-stop. If I didn¡¯t give her countless blood recovering spiritual drugs to consume, she would have already¡­" Speaking till this point, the image of his wife suffering appeared in his mind, and Yu Zhi could not carry on. Mo Wuji instantly understood the situation, and responded with the question, "Brother Yu, your wife¡¯s Day Paving Channel was severely damaged by others right? Such a serious injury. If it is so, giving your wife blood recovering drugs is akin to using poison to quench her thirst." The Day Paving Channel was one of the spirit channels in the human body. Once it is severely damaged, the person will vomit blood in the evening daily. After a prolonged period of time, the Day Paving Channel will become completely useless. When that happens, other spirit channels around it will begin to shrivel up, and the person will eventually shrivel up and die. While a person will cough up blood every day after his Day Paving Channel is damaged, but he must not consume blood recovery drugs, as the more one takes, the more the Day Paving Channel dries up. This was what Mo Wuji had read about in the wordless pill manual. What he read about was not the Day Paving Channel, but the Tier 4 Earth Spirit Pill, Body Constructing Pill. The Body Constructing Pill is a Tier 4 Earth Spirit Pill that he knew was more valuable than even Tier 5 Earth Spiritual Pills, mainly due to the rarity of its main ingredient, the Body Constructing Herb. The Body Constructing Pill can heal severe damage to various spirit channels, hence to a cultivator, this type of pill could be one of the most precious. Not only were its ingredients expensive, the pill formula was rare too. The number of Body Constructing Pills in the market now was far and few between, and even if a few pills turned up occasionally, they would be quickly snatched up. The only way to repair a severely damaged Day Paving Channel was to use the Body Constructing Pill. "Pill Master Mo is spot on, my wife¡¯s Day Paving Channel was severely damaged by others. I know that having her consume blood recovery items is actually bad for her, but there¡¯s no other way. If I did not do that, then she... she would have...would have already¡­" Yu Zhi was on the verge of tears. One could see how much he loved his wife. "You want me to concoct Body Constructing Pills?" Mo Wuji saw the state Yu Zhi was in, and did not beat around the bush any more. Yu Zhi fell to his knees once more, this time not only on one knee, but one both, "Pill Master Mo, if you are able to concoct Body Constructing Pills for me, I, Yu Zhi, am willing to be your slave for the rest of my life." WIth a sigh, Mo Wuji replied, "I can¡¯t help you concoct the Body Constructing Pill¡­" Hearing this, Yu Zhi could not mask the disappointment in his eyes. He slowly stood up, and finally spoke after remaining silent for a long time, "I¡¯m just dreaming of the impossible. I¡¯ve begged many pill refiners before, and they either did not have the spiritual herbs, or didn¡¯t have the pill formula¡­" Shaking his head, Yu Zhi spoke no further. His plea to Mo Wuji was not made in the heat of the moment. Since the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition ended, he had been searching for Mo Wuji, but to no avail. From his perspective, for a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji to be able to emerge victorious out of so many Earth Pill Refiners, even placing in the top 10 for two rounds, this meant that Mo Wuji must have an impressive master. So even if Mo Wuji could not help him concoct the pills, his master would be able to. Thinking of Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji could empathise with Yu Zhi, so he replied impatiently, "Brother Yu, I can obtain the pill formula and other spiritual herbs, but as for the Body Constructing Grass¡­" A large stack of spiritual herbs got pulled out of Yu Zhi¡¯s bag and into his hands, and Mo Wuji¡¯s jaw dropped when he saw the stack. The pile was made of rare spiritual herbs. Even the lowest quality one was a Tier 3 spiritual herb. There were too many Tier 4 and Tier 5 spiritual herbs, and even a few stalks of Tier 6 spiritual herbs were present. Sky Ginseng, Treasured Blazing Fruit, Red Sun Leaf¡­ Various types of spiritual herbs, all mixed together messily. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air. He did not see a single stalk of spiritual herb since he entered this place. Did this guy rob a spiritual herb garden? Chapter 147: The Fight for Lingzhi Chapter 147: The Fight for Lingzhi Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Pill Master Mo, I will place these three stalks of Body Constructing Grass here¡­" Seeing how Mo Wuji was still staring at the spiritual herbs, Yu Zhi grabbed the three jade boxes. Mo Wuji ceased looking at the bunch of spiritual herbs on the floor as he said to Yu Zhi, "Brother Yu, even with these spiritual herbs, we still lack a few other herbs to be able to concoct the Body Constructing Pill. However, I am confident I can purchase it outside as the herbs that are lacking are not hard to find..." The truth was that Mo Wuji saw a few spiritual herbs that got him really excited, specifically the Sky Ginseng and the 10,000 Year Old Longyan Grass. One must know that these were what he urgently needed. Both the Sky Ginseng and Dark Yellow Ginseng had homologous attributes and belonged to the same type of ginseng. However, the difference was that the Sky Ginseng was a Tier 4 spiritual herb. To use this to replace the Dark Yellow Ginseng, it would definitely increase the quality of his channel opening solution by more than 10 folds. These were the top grade herbs which he needed to concoct the channel opening solution and they were all well placed in front of him. Including the 100,000 Years Old Pine Pulse and the Purple Lotus Silk which he had with him, he only lacked one top grade Lingzhi. As for a higher purity fire crystal, the pity was that even though he had seen a few before, he was not fast enough to retrieve them before the others did. Even without a higher purity fire crystal, he had an even more impressive fire crystal body. The fire crystal body that he managed to take from the earth fire crater would definitely be better than a normal fire crystal. "Pill Master Mo, would it be better if the herbs were fresher?" Yu Zhi suddenly asked an irrelevant question having heard what Mo Wuji said. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Of course it is only natural that the fresher the herbs, the more effective the concocted pills would be. However, it would not be easy to find very fresh herbs. These spiritual herbs that you dug up not too long ago are already considered fresh even though they were not kept well." Mo Wuji did not have much knowledge about the storage of spiritual herbs. He only knew that he could purchase some jade boxes from departmental stores which were designed to be able to keep these herbs fresh. Other than this, he knew that he could also turned these fresh spiritual herbs into dried spiritual herbs to keep it for a longer period of time. Even though it might reduce the quality of the spiritual herbs, it would not make much of a difference for a top grade pill refiner. Now that Mo Wuji came in touch with the Array Dao, he need not purchase these jade boxes from departmental stores anymore as he could simply refine his own jade box. "Brother Yu, do not worry because I promise I will definitely find means to help you concoct the Body Constructing Pill. I may not have the pill formula now but I will get it somehow. You have some herbs that I¡¯m rather interested in, I wonder if you would be willing to spare me some?" Mo Wuji could not help but asked. The channel opening solution was way too important to him. The moment he left this place, it would be extremely difficult to even find herbs of the same grade, let alone the same freshness. Yu Zhi swept all the herbs towards Mo Wuji together with all the three jade boxes before saying, "Pill Master Mo, these are all yours as I only plead that you help me concoct a batch of Body Constructing Pills. No, there''s no need for a batch of pills, I just need three pills. Actually, even one pill would suffice." Mo Wuji looked suspiciously at Yu Zhi, "Brother Yu, do you really trust me that much?" Yu Zhi smiled as he said, "I believe Pill Master Mo is someone worthy of my trust." In fact, Yu Zhi was feeling extremely helpless as he had approached countless of pill refiners for help to concoct the Body Constructing Pills. He had almost exhausted his entire fortune that was left behind by his ancestors but was still nowhere near getting his hands on that pill. Many pill refiners could not even be bothered to meet him. Mo Wuji was not only the first and only one to agree to help, he even promised to be able to concoct this Body Constructing Pills. Therefore, he had no other choice but to have faith in Mo Wuji. He made up his mind to follow Mo Wuji from now onwards till he successfully concocted the pills. As a matter of fact, Yu Zhi had more than three stalks of Body Constructing Grass. He managed to retrieve a total of six stalks but kept three stalks with himself just in case. Compared to the other spiritual herbs needed for the Body Constructing Pill, the Body Constructing Grass was the rarest of them all. He had already spent all his wealth to purchase a bracelet to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain just so that he could search for the Body Constructing Grass. Ironically, Yu Zhi¡¯s bracelet was sold to him by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji saw through Yu Zhi¡¯s thoughts as he hurried to say, "Hold on for a while." Mo Wuji ran to the foot of a hill not more than 10 meters away as soon as he finished his sentence. He took out a big bag and his Tian Ji Pole from his storage bag before turning and shouting, "I only have one backpack and I cannot fit all these spiritual herbs into it now¡­" He did not dare to reveal his entire storage bag as he knew that it contained too many things that people coveted for. Without mentioning the rest, just the two Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals alone would be highly sought after. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to finish his sentence, Yu Zhi took out a storage bag out of nowhere, "Pill Master Mo, this storage bag is for you to keep all the rest of the spiritual herbs." "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji looked hesitantly at Yu Zhi as he was surprised at how much Yu Zhi was willing to give up just for him to concoct the pills. Furthermore, it was not as if Mo Wuji was giving him the pill formula itself. "If Pill Master Mo is capable of helping me concoct the Body Constructing Pills, a mere storage bag would mean nothing at all," Yu Zhi said with a lot of conviction. Mo Wuji saw another storage bag at Yu Zhi¡¯s waist area and he could immediately tell that it was probably stolen from the blood stains on his body. "Alright, I will accept it then. Thank you very much," Mo Wuji did not question any further as he was confident that he could help Yu Zhi concoct the Body Constructing Pills. Only after seeing Mo Wuji kept the storage bag did Yu Zhi continued to speak, "Pill Master Mo, the reason why I asked you whether the freshness of the herbs matter was because I am aware of a place where there are tonnes of fresh spiritual herbs." After hearing this, Mo Wuji looked surprisingly at Yu Zhi, "Hurry, bring me over." Yu Zhi might not be interested in the fresh spiritual herbs after finding the Body Constructing Grass but Mo Wuji was not the same. Mo Wuji was after all still a pill refiner and he still lacked a top grade Lingzhi for his channel opening solution. "Pill Master Mo, please follow me this way," Yu Zhi answered without any hesitation. Mo Wuji kept all the spiritual herbs on the floor into his storage bag and then attached his storage bag to his waist before following Yu Zhi to backtrack in the direction he came from. ... Three days later, Yu Zhi and Mo Wuji arrived within the depth of a gorge. Mo Wuji saw many corpses lying all around the area, making the whole place a complete mess. "Back then, people found a gigantic herbal garden here which resulted in a huge fight to claim the spiritual herbs. I risked my life to snatch some of the spiritual herbs too and this was also where I found the Body Constructing Grass. I¡¯ve also heard that there is another herbal garden deeper inside this gorge," Yu Zhi pointed at the depth of the gorge as he was talking. "What are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go," Mo Wuji said without any shred of hesitation. He did not yearn for many top grade spiritual herbs as all he wanted was the Lingzhi. Even a 10,000 Year Old Lingzhi was only classified as a Tier 4 spiritual herb therefore, he did not believe anybody would start a huge fight for just one stalk of Lingzhi. As the two continued to explore deeper into the gorge, they saw yet another ground of complete mess after walking for half an hour. There were even residues of a few spiritual herbs that were destroyed and in fact, they did not see any corpse at all. Mo Wuji was speechless but he was glad that there was no other pill refiner around. If a pill refiner saw so many spiritual herbs destroyed to pieces like this, who knows how much blood he would cough out? As they continued walking forward, there were many more places where fights over spiritual herbs had very evidently occurred. "It seems like this gorge was a place of spiritual herbs production¡­" Mo Wuji stopped at this moment as he saw the two sides of the gorge. Yu Zhi noticed the change in Mo Wuji¡¯s expression and said almost instantaneously, "It was rumoured that there are spiritual veins under the two sides of the gorge which was also the reason why so many top grade spiritual herbs are able to survive and grow here." Mo Wuji suddenly came to his senses as he clearly felt the increase in concentration of spiritual energy in the air when he stepped into this region. If not for the spiritual herbs growing all around the gorge, Mo Wuji guessed that this two sided gorge would have been dug up by people. "Honghonghong!" Sounds of explosions could be heard as dazzling lights from magic treasures constantly shot up to the sky. Very soon, sounds of magic treasures colliding as well as grunts could be heard. "It is just ahead of us," Yu Zhi sped up as he said this. Mo Wuji followed closely behind as the duo saw about 10 cultivators fighting for a spiritual herb the moment they turned past a corner of the gorge. Even as Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi arrived, nobody stopped their fight for the spiritual herb. "Pill Master Mo, what was the spiritual herb that you wanted? I will go fight for it¡­" Yu Zhi stood beside Mo Wuji as he had already drawn his half moon blade. "It is that stalk of Lingzhi¡­" The moment Mo Wuji arrived, his eyes fell on the stalk of a meter tall Lingzhi. As his spiritual will sensed the tall Lingzhi, he could tell that it was at least 100,000 years old. In the world of cultivation, Lingzhi was not worth a lot which was why up till now, nobody was fighting for it. This was however, something Mo Wuji dreamt of having. As he was saying this, he threw his entire body forward as he had to get this stalk of Lingzhi no matter what. "Scram¡­" Just as Mo Wuji was beside the Lingzhi, an angered voice thundered across as a huge scissors opened up ready to cut Mo Wuji¡¯s waist simultaneously. Mo Wuji did want to test his own strength as well as how much stronger could a Spirit Building Stage cultivator actually be as he dodged the attack and swung out his Tian Ji pole with all his might. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Mo Wuji used his Tian Ji Pole to fight. Previously, he did want to use his Tian Ji pole to smash Dong Lun into pieces but the pity was that his Ice Burst Talisman was too vicious. Before the pole could land on his head, Dong Lun was already frozen to death. "Ka!" As the Tian Ji pole collided with the huge scissors, there was an explosion of elemental energy. A tremendous force hit Mo Wuji as he instantly felt as though his chest was struck by an iron hammer. The difference in strength was simply too huge. Before he could consolidate his thoughts, the force that was suppressing his Tian Ji Pole suddenly dissipated. Mo Wuji was surprised but he did not care what made the opponent¡¯s force dissipate. He swallowed a mouth of fresh blood and then fused his attack with even more elemental energy before swinging his Tian Ji pole. Just as he was about to launch his counter-attack, Mo Wuji finally realised what made the opponent lose his strength; Yu Zhi¡¯s half moon blade was struck on his back, almost disembowelling him. Chapter 148: Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal Chapter 148: Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - In this sort of situation, Mo Wuji could not be merciful at all, so he swung the Tian Ji Pole straight at the neck of the guy wielding the gigantic scissors. With a crack, this cultivator¡¯s neck and his shoulder on one side was smashed to a pulp by the swing of Mo Wuji¡¯s pole, and he fell to the ground without making a sound. Mo Wuji quickly dug up the Lingzhi and kept it in his storage bag. Yu Zhi also picked up the guy¡¯s storage bag that fell to the ground. From the time Mo Wuji dug up the Lingzhi, to this cultivator ambushing him with the giant scissors, then to Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi joining forces to kill that guy, barely a few breaths worth of time had passed. Both of them worked together as though as they had done so before, with impeccable teamwork. "You dare kill my junior apprentice brother, kneel before me¡­" A wild aura came extended in their direction, and a punch towards Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi soon followed. Even with the both of them combined, they could not block this aura, and were pushed back to the point that both their legs gave out cracking sounds. Mo Wuji clenched his teeth, but just as he was prepare to release a burst of Lightning Flash, a wave of energy exploded forth from his side. This came as a shock. If that strong wave of energy landed on his back, he would have been dead meat. "Bang!" Two waves of spiritual energy slammed together, blowing up a gigantic crater in the ground. Mo Wuji could also feel the pressure surrounding his body lessen, hence he gave up using Lightning Flash. Following which, he heard a calm voice say, "So what if we killed your junior apprentice brother?" "Hou Yucheng, are you going to intervene?" A muscular man landed not far away from Mo Wuji. It was him that ambushed Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi. "Brother Hou, thanks for the assistance. Senior Qu, I didn¡¯t think that we¡¯d manage to meet again." Mo Wuji turned around to see Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er standing there. If it were not for their appearance, while he could have used Lightning Flash to resolve the previous strike, it would have been difficult to escape from this muscular man with his life. This guy was probably at least at Transcending Mortality Intermediate Stage, and he was just at Channel Opening Stage Level 9. Yu Zhi was at most at the Great Circle of Spirit Building Stage. Hou Yucheng grinned at Mo Wuji, "After all we¡¯re teammates that scaled the ice mountain together." After completing that sentence, he turned around towards the muscular man and said, "I¡¯m definitely intervening in this matter. If there¡¯s any issue, come at me." The man gave a death stare at Mo Wuji and Yu Zhi, and without saying another word, turned around to leave. Hou Yucheng was much stronger than him, and also belonged to a large sect. He could not stand up to Hou Yucheng at all. "Brother Mo, I knew that you were all right. And indeed you are." Hou Yucheng bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji. Qu Wan¡¯Er added on at the side, "Senior Hou thought that something happened to you, and always felt guilty in his heart, saying that it was him that asked you to come along. Thankfully, you¡¯re safe and sound." For Hou Yucheng, Mo Wuji still felt that he could not read him or see through his motives completely. However, this time Hou Yucheng acted to save his life, for this he was extremely grateful. While all of the spiritual herbs in the vicinity had been snatched clean, the three of them did not leave, but stayed to exchange stories about the past. In the process, Mo Wuji found out from Hou Yucheng that the two sides of the gorge was indeed spiritual veins, hence many spiritual herbs naturally grew in the middle of the two spiritual veins. As time passed by, the poorer quality spiritual herbs were competed out of the ecosystem, leaving the top grade spiritual herbs behind. After that, Mo Wuji briefly explained how he managed to survive, being trapped in a icy hall, then enduring all that hardship before escaping with his life. He did conveniently leave out his haul from the icy hall, and Hou Yucheng did not ask about it either. Naturally, Mo Wuji did not question Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er about what they got from the ice mountain. Seeing that Mo Wuji was acquainted with Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er, Yu Zhi quietened down. Previously, he agreed to stay by Mo Wuji¡¯s side because he was not afraid of Mo Wuji taking his spiritual herbs. Now that Mo Wuji knew people much stronger than Yu Zhi, if he wanted to take all the spiritual herbs for himself, Yu Zhi would not be able to do a thing. Luckily Yu Zhe had left a few stalks of spiritual herbs for himself. Just when Yu Zhi was in a state of unease, Mo Wuji called him over, and said to Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er, "This is Yu Zhi, his wife is ill, so he asked me to help him concoct some pills, hence we came here to look for spiritual herbs." Hearing Mo Wuji introduce him allowed Yu Zhi to heave a sigh of relief, and quickly returned the greetings. A rogue cultivator like him felt extremely inferior and lowly in the presence of genius disciples like Hou Yucheng and Qu Wan¡¯Er. At least Mo Wuji had the title of pill refiner. "Oh, which spiritual herbs are brother Yu still lacking?" Hou Yucheng maintained his courteous attitude, which did not change a single bit despite Yu Zhi¡¯s status as a rogue cultivator. Mo Wuji quickly replied, "We¡¯re still lacking the Sky Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid Flower. These two spiritual herbs are relatively common, so I believe we¡¯ll be able to find some in the depths of this natural gorge¡­" As he spoke these words, Mo Wuji felt quite ashamed of himself. His original reason for coming here was to help Yu Zhi harvest Sky Spider Fruits and Extreme Orchid Flowers, but the first thing he snatched up was a 100,000 Year Old Lingzhi. By the time the Lingzhi came into his possession, no other spiritual herbs was left. Qu Wan¡¯Er smiled, "Then there¡¯s no need to carry on searching, I have these two spiritual herbs with me." While she spoke, many stalks of spiritual herbs appeared in her hands. They were exactly the Sky Spider Fruit and Extreme Orchid Flower that he was looking for. Yu Zhi saw that Qu Wan¡¯Er did not even probe any further, and just took out the spiritual herbs required to concoct the Body Constructing Pill, hence he swiftly moved forward to offer his thanks. Qu Wan¡¯Er waved him off, "This bit of spiritual herbs means nothing, the amount that I owe Pill Master Mo is much more than these mere spiritual herbs." If Mo Wuji did not give her a bracelet, even if she managed to get in here by herself, the price she would have paid would have exceeded these few stalks of spiritual herbs. Thus, deep in her heart, she was still very grateful towards Mo Wuji. On his side, Mo Wuji took no notice of this, and just asked curiously after keeping the spiritual herbs," Senior Qu, there¡¯s definitely more spiritual herbs in the depths of this gorge? Why don¡¯t we carry on searching?" To this, Hou Yucheng replied, "If we venture further into the gorge, it would take at least three days to reach the next area that spiritual herbs grow at. So both to and fro would take us six days. If that¡¯s the case, we won¡¯t have enough time to make it out of here. Moreover, in a few days, the poison fog of the Five Elements Desolate Domain will return to cover this whole area, and all sorts of demonic beasts will return too. Once that happens, we will have trouble ensuring our survival, much less talk about obtaining spiritual herbs." Indeed, Mo Wuji could see that other than the minority of cultivators that were hesitant, the bulk of them had left the gorge. "If that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s leave too." While spiritual herbs were good stuff, to Mo Wuji, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s safety was still the number one priority. "That¡¯s my intention too." Hou Yucheng replied. Qu Wan¡¯Er herself had already made a great windfall, so naturally she agreed to leave too. Yu Zhi¡¯s original aim for coming here was for the Body Constructing Pill, and since he had placed all his hopes on Mo Wuji, whatever Mo Wuji did, he would follow. When Mo Wuji¡¯s gang of four turned around to leave, the last few hesitating people also decided to follow suit. Valuable spiritual herbs incited greed among people, but if one lost their life in the process, everything would have been for naught. ¡­ "It¡¯s a pity for Brother Mo. Three months in the Five Elements Desolated Domain is simply not enough and Brother Mo even got trapped in the ice mountain for almost two months." While the four of them were on their way, Hou Yucheng commented with a tinge of sympathy. Qu Wan¡¯Er smiled, "That¡¯s hard to say. In my case, if I did not have senior apprentice brother Hou¡¯s help, I might have fallen here much earlier. Just as senior apprentice brother Hou helped Mo Wuji when he was in danger." Mo Wuji could understand the meaning in Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s words. It was that his level of cultivation was low, and if he did not get trapped in the ice mountain for two months, he might have been killed on the outside. In reality, Qu Wan¡¯Er was not making things up, for someone with Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation, in an intense fight like before, there existed the possibility that he could die at any moment. Perhaps out of all the people that entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he spent the least time on searching for treasures, because most of it was spent on cultivating. "Maybe if I did not intervene, Brother Mo would have similarly brushed off that guy¡¯s ambush. With two months of time, Brother Mo might have actually found a Flower of the True Gods." Hou Yucheng said matter-of-factly. With this, Mo Wuji suspected that Hou Yucheng knew that he had some tricks left up his sleeve, hence saying these things on purpose. "Brother Hou, have you seen a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal before?" Mo Wuji was unwilling to elaborate further on the extent of his strength, and on top of that, he really wanted to know if what he had obtained were Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, so he inquired about it. Hou Yucheng chuckled, "Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals are even more valuable that Flowers of the True Gods from some perspectives, so how could I have seen such a thing before. What I do know is that a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal is a crystal with four corners and a light yellow tint¡­" Listening till this point, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He finally understood what he did wrongly. What he obtained was not the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. Not only was it so, but the object he got appeared very different from one. What Hou Yucheng described to be an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal indeed existed down below, because not far away from where he got the two ice flowers, there was a row of four-cornered, light yellow crystals which fit Hou Yucheng¡¯s description. But that row of things seemed as though they were thrown to one side like a pile of trash. Based on his first impression, Mo Wuji naturally thought that the things being nurtured on the icy altar werr the most precious. Who knew that the stuff that was thrown to one side were the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. No wonder the man and woman said that they saw the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. They saw what he thought was a pile of rubbish. "There¡¯s one more day before the day that we¡¯ll leave the Five Elements Desolate Domain, let¡¯s pick up the pace." Seeing that Mo Wuji and Hou Yucheng¡¯s conversation ended, Qu Wan¡¯Er interjected with a sentence of her own. It was too late for him, and Mo Wuji could only sigh to himself. If there was still time, he would definitely make a trip back to the icy hall. Regardless whether he froze to death or not, he had to bring back the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. The worst part was that when he first decided to go to the ice mountain with Hou Yucheng, he only asked Hou Yucheng if there were any Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals up there, but did not find out what it looked like. Even if Mo Wuji was sure that he would not make the same mistake again, he would not be able to take it if such an error was committed again. "Your father just doesn¡¯t want to hand it over, what can you do?" A booming voice woke Mo Wuji up from his bout of regret, followed by the explosive sounds of energy colliding into each other. Zhen Shaoru? Mo Wuji saw Zhen Shaoru in combat with a skinny bearded man, so he leapt over without hesitation and landed at one side to observe the fight. If Zhen Shaoru could not defeat the other party, it didn¡¯t matter that his level of cultivation was insufficient, he would still take action to help. Chapter 149: Without a Bracelet Chapter 149: Without a Bracelet Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Haha, Wuji¡­" Zhen Shaoru could obviously see Mo Wuji approaching, and welcomed him with a bellowing laugh. The cultivator locked in combat with Zhen Shaoru slowed down as he saw that a friend of his opponent had arrived. When he observed that Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual energy was ordinary, he was relieved. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation definitely was not at the Spirit Building Stage, and his talent was ordinary, hence there was nothing to worry about. "Brother Mo, is this a friend of yours?" Hou Yucheng followed Mo Wuji and asked. Behind Hou Yucheng, Qu Wan¡¯Er and Yu Zhi also came. The cultivator that just thought that he did not have to worry about Mo Wuji immediately changed his expression. Hou Yucheng was famous, and the man was aware of his identity. Just by Hou Yucheng¡¯s hands, he would die in seconds, and the two people following behind Hou Yucheng were not that simple either. With both that group and Zhen Shaoru present, he would be seeking death if he continued to stay here. Before Mo Wuji could reply Hou Yucheng¡¯s question, the cultivator swiftly backed off, immediately turning tail and bolted. No one went after him, and Mo Wuji also began introducing Zhen Shaoru to everyone. Zhen Shaoru¡¯s eccentric personality kicked in, so he broke into a wide smile after that cultivator fled, "Wuji, this time I¡¯ve struck the jackpot¡­" It was already rather near the exit, with many people approaching, hence Mo Wuji had to reply, "Shaoru, why don¡¯t we leave this for after we¡¯ve gotten out." "Ok, we¡¯ll carry on after exiting. Let me tell you, even though I did not manage to obtain a Flower of the True Gods, the thing I got definitely is no worse than one. That guy just now was after what I have, and had been chasing me for days already, ha ha ha¡­" This guy finally could not hold it in anymore, and bragged about his haul, stopping short of mentioning what exactly he was talking about. The few people around also picked up on Zhen Shaoru¡¯s words, and turned their gazes in his direction. But once they saw that Mo Wuji was in a group of four, they skirted around them and left. Mo Wuji whispered to Zhen Shaoru, "You¡¯re really asking for trouble. I hope that you didn¡¯t actually get something even better, because if you did, it probably won¡¯t end up as yours." "Wuji, have you found the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? What does it look like?" Zhen Shaoru only just recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s aim after he finished showing off, and quickly asked about it. Hou Yucheng could finally understand why Mo Wuji kept asking around about the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. It turns out that he wanted to obtain it, "Brother Mo, so you wanted to obtain a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal?" Zhen Shaoru, who was standing at the side, had already become acquainted with Hou Yucheng by then, and responded loudly, "Of course, Wuji asked my brother for a lot of information regarding the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, but sadly, my brother and I did not know anything. Even after inquiring some pill refiners, we came up with nothing¡­" "Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals are very rare, and I¡¯ve never seen one before either. I¡¯ve only heard about them through my master, so it¡¯s natural that ordinary people have not seen such a treasure before." Hou Yucheng nodded in agreement. Hou Yucheng thought of something after he ended his sentence, so he asked again, "Brother Mo, are you looking for the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal to beg for Granny Linglong¡¯s help?" With a sigh, Mo Wuji answered, "Indeed this is the case. Back when we were going to the ice mountain, I wanted to ask you if there were any Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals there, and since many pill refiners were not familiar with their characteristics, so the thought of asking you about it¡¯s appearance did not come to mind at all¡­" At this point, Mo Wuji sudden felt that something was not right, and stopped abruptly. Hou Yucheng sighed to himself. Even if you asked, you couldn¡¯t have done anything with the information. You were trapped at the ice mountain for two months, where would you have had the chance to search for the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? "That¡¯s not right!" Mo Wuji finally remembered what didn¡¯t add up. If the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal was so rare, that even Zhen Shaoke and other pill refiners that opened pill houses did not know about them, how could the man and woman at the icy hall have known what they looked like? Now, Mo Wuji forcefully pulled out his memories of that situation to reevaluate everything. There were tens of meters between the icy staircase and the ground, so while standing on the icy stairs, it would be very difficult to see the row of small Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. Even if they did, the two ice flowers on the icy altar would have caught their attention first. The two ice flowers were so prominent, anyone would have definitely looked in their direction first, instead of those trash-like four-cornered crystal objects. The only explanation for what happened was that, the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals that the two of them pointed out, were the two ice flowers that he had harvested. If that was the case, then Hou Yucheng¡¯s description of Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals was incorrect. Mo Wuji asked again, "Brother Hou, are you sure Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals are slightly yellowish four-cornered crystal objects?" Hou Yucheng replied confidently, "It can¡¯t be wrong, Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals are indeed slightly yellowish four-cornered crystal objects. They appear a little shiny too." Seeing that Mo Wuji became silent again, Hou Yucheng tried to comfort him, "Brother Mo, Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals are extremely hard to obtain treasures in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, they¡¯re even rarer than Flowers of the True Gods. Moreover, even if you did encounter some, with our current strength, it would be difficult to get close enough to obtain it." "I know." Mo Wuji replied. He knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to get close to Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals. If he did not coincidentally train in the Seven Style Lightning Sky¡¯s first style, he would not have been able to get close to those two ice flowers. Everyone fell silent, because no one here could help Mo Wuji to beg Granny Linglong to help him. Even the First Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace would be helpless. In the end, the insensitive Zhen Shaoru also realised that Mo Wuji was in a bad mood, and hence he shut up. Half a day later, when five of them arrived at the exit, there were already a couple of thousand people, and even more were streaming in. As for the poison fog that welcomed them when they first arrived, it was not present this time. The cultivators that made it to the exit were all very cautious, and most of them were standing in groups; every one with their guards up. Evidently, the cultivators that entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain had a great haul from their time here. Another four hours of waiting later, rumbling noises could be heart, and at the same time, the fog surrounding them became denser. Mo Wuji took a casual glance around, noticing that the number of people that were going out was much less than the initial number that entered. Five thousand people went in, but not even three thousand were going out. Over a thousand men had somehow went missing in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. He spotted Yan Qianyin in the crowd, but was just not in the mood to go over to say hello. When the rumbling stopped, a jet black tunnel opened up, and without any discussion, everyone rushed straight into it. Thankfully, the tunnel was sufficiently broad, and the cultivators entered fast enough too, so there was no jam even though thousands of people were passing through. Mo Wuji and co. were sandwiched in the centre, and this time, they had reached the small square from before in less than an incense''s time. The entrances of the square were sealed up as they were previously, so everyone could only wait quietly in the centre. An hour or so passed before the tunnel gave out a rumbling noise again. The tunnel connected to the Five Elements Desolate Domain slowly closed up, and finally disappeared completely. "There¡¯s much less people than before." Zhen Shaoru commented heartlessly. No one bothered with him though. Mo Wuji spotted the Second Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace, Feng Zhenqiu. Two red-robed cultivators, who seemed like guards, stood behind Feng Zhenqiu, totally stationary. Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s gaze swept across the whole crowd, then he spoke, "Congratulations to all who managed to come back safe and sound, regardless whether each of you managed to obtained some treasure in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, this trip must have given an immeasurable amount of benefits to your cultivation. Now everyone please return your bracelets, and wait quietly." Other than Mo Wuji who found out the function of the bracelets after entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, everyone else knew that they must not lose their bracelets. After all, they still had to return them. After Feng Zhenqiu finished his speech, the two red-robed men started collecting bracelets. When they reached Mo Wuji, he quickly bowed and apologised, "I met with a lightning strike when picking Lightning Splitting Grass in a lightning lake and almost died. My bracelet was lost in the lake then." The red-robed cultivator in front of Mo Wuji turned to look at Feng Zhenqiu, who in turn gazed upon Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji bowed respectfully once more, not daring to make any movement. Even his spiritual will was withdrawn completely within him. Because he had trained his spiritual will, Mo Wuji was more sensitive to it than ordinary cultivators. He could clearly feel someone¡¯s spiritual will sweeping onto his storage bag. A moment later, the spiritual will disappeared. This let Mo Wuji heave a sigh of relief. It seemed as though Feng Zhenqiu still cared about his reputation, and did not use spiritual will to do a body search of Mo Wuji. "Since you have no bracelet, please stand to one side." Feng Zhenqiu nodded his head lightly, and did not say anything worrying. Half an hour later, both red-robed men had already collected all the bracelets. Only then did Feng Zhenqiu announce with a smile, "Everyone, you can leave now. Those who want to join the Heaven Seeking Palace can go to our encampment to register. We will grade everyone fairly based on their talent and contributions to Heaven Seeking Palace. We will be recruiting 300 people this time, so I hope everyone grasps this opportunity well." The exits linked out of the Five Elements Desolate Domain opened up and everyone left swiftly. Zhen Shaoru still said annoyingly beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear, "This time I will definitely join the Heaven Seeking Palace, Wuji, I¡¯ll help you look for that Granny Linglong then¡­" This guy haven¡¯t even joined the Heaven Seeking Palace, and he thinks that finding Granny Linglong is as easy as saying it. Inside, Mo Wuji was speechless, he guessed that the Heaven Seeking Palace was evaluating who had obtained more valuable treasures.They would likely choose their disciples based on these treasures, and if it was a top grade treasure, perhaps they would take some underhanded measures to obtain it for themselves. However, for a place like Heaven Seeking Palace, the definition of a top grade treasure would definitely be of much higher quality than what he thought to be top grade. Chapter 150: Granny Linglong Chapter 150: Granny Linglong Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Wuji, Shaoru¡­" Just as Mo Wuji exited the doors of Heaven Seeking Palace, he heard Zhen Shaoke¡¯s exuberant voice. Zhen Shaoke, together with Fei Bingzhu, Tao Ao, Xiong Xiuzhu, and Yan¡¯Er stood at the doors of Heaven Seeking Palace encampment, sandwiched together with the large crowd of cultivators. "It seems like your friends are here. I¡¯ll see you again soon." Hou Yucheng bade farewell to Mo Wuji and co. courteously. While Mo Wuji wanted to invite Hou Yucheng to catch up with him sometime, he thought of Yan¡¯Er¡¯s condition and he no longer had the mood to do so. Yan¡¯Er had automatically walked to his side, and her hand naturally wrapped around Mo Wuji¡¯s own. "Senior Mo, I knew that nothing would happen to you." Fei Bingzhu clasped his fist, before going forward to greet Mo Wuji. Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu also came forth to greet him. They had been equally worried about Mo Wuji after he entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. If anything happened to him, they would have no future either. "Shaoke, let me introduce you, this is Yu Zhi¡­" Even though Mo Wuji was very depressed as he did not obtain the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, he still took the initiative to introduce Yu Zhi. After Zhen Shaoke briefly got to know Yu Zhi, he sensed that Mo Wuji was not in a good mood. He guessed that Mo Wuji did not find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, "Come on, let¡¯s talk after we go back." ¡­ Three months without seeing Mo Wuji, Yan¡¯Er seemed to be inseparable with him. Thankfully Zhen Shaoke could read the situation well, and entertained Yu Zhi, allowing Mo Wuji to spend time with Yan¡¯Er. Mo Wuji spoke with Yan¡¯Er for half a day, then had a private meal with her before she left with Xiong Xiuzhu. During this time, Yu Zhi waited for Mo Wuji in a room that Zhen Shaoke arranged for him, but only then did he realise that while Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji''s network of friends was distinctly wider than his own. Whether it was Hou Yucheng, or Zhen Shaoke, they were people that Yu Zhi had completely no access to. At this point, Yu Zhi could only hope that Mo Wuji would stand by his words, and help him concoct the Body Constructing Pill. "Brother Yu, you¡¯re aware that I have to make a request to Granny Linglong. Even though I didn¡¯t manage to obtain the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, but I will have to meet her. If I don¡¯t resolve this issue, I really will not be in the mood to help you refine pills. But be assured that after I¡¯ve met with Granny Linglong, regardless of the outcome, I will fulfil my promise, and help you make a batch of Body Constructing Pills." Mo Wuji directly said to Yu Zhi after helping Yan¡¯Er settle down. Without making arrangements for Yan¡¯Er¡¯s issue, he really could not calmly refine pills. After the trip to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he obtained neither the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, nor the Flower of the True Gods. His hope for Granny Linglong helping him just fell to the lowest. "Pill Master Mo, please carry on with your plans first. I¡¯ve waited for years already, these few more days mean nothing." Yu Zhi respectfully answered. After speaking to Yu Zhi, Mo Wuji returned to his room. He took out one of the ice flowers and placed it into the storage bag that Yu Zhi gave him, and hid his own storage bag in his room. Thereafter, he left to find Fei Bingzhu. He instructed Fei Bingzhu that before he returned, no one was allowed to enter his room. With all these settled, Mo Wuji brought Yan¡¯Er to the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment with great uncertainty hanging over him. ¡­ In the largest room of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s temporary pill pagoda, a woman in brown clothes sat in front of a giant pill furnace, deep in thought. The fire within the pill furnace was burning fervently. At the door of the room, two nearly identical ingredient girls sat. "Has it been a day since Five Elements Desolate Domain closed?" The brown clothed woman suddenly looked up and asked. The two girls by the door bowed and replied in unison, "Yes Granny." "Has there been anyone that¡¯s come here looking for me?" The brown clothed woman followed up with another question. "Not as of now." Both girls responded together again. The brown clothed woman seemed rather frustrated, and she threw another stalk of spiritual herb into the pill furnace, before sinking back deep in thought. The spiritual herb soon gave off a charred smell, but the woman did not seem to notice. After some time, the brown clothed woman raised her head abruptly, and said, "If anyone comes to look for me, let him come in immediately." "Yes Granny." Both girls replied at the same time. The brown clothed woman threw another stalk of spiritual herb into the pill furnace, and carried on in deep thought again. ¡­ Mo Wuji did not know what Granny Linglong was thinking, so he dared not bring Yan¡¯Er to find her straight away. Instead, he headed for Mu Ying first. But the disappointing thing was that, Mu Ying was not at the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment. As Mo Wuji was about to man up to find Granny Linglong, he finally met someone he knew: Zuo Shaoyi. Beside her, there was a woman that looked similar to her, possibly even slightly prettier than her. Mo Wuji could guess that that was Zuo Shaoyi¡¯s sister. Zuo Shaoyi had previously visited him with Mu Ying, just that he looked very wild back then, and frightened her away. As Mo Wuji¡¯s current appearance was very different from his hellish appearance then, Zuo Shaoyi could not recognise him immediately. "Mo Wuji humbly greets senior Zuo¡­" Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully and greeted. "You are?" Zuo Shaoyi stared at Mo Wuji for some time before finally realising who was in front of her, "I remember you, you¡¯re that Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner Mo Wuji that stays in the Nine Moons Pill House." A smile appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s face, and he replied, "Yes, that¡¯s me." Zuo Shaoyi furrowed her brows, "Why are you here?" To this, Mo Wuji answered, "Last time I almost went astray while cultivating, and neglected Senior Mu and Senior Zuo. I¡¯m here to make up for my past mistake." Zuo Shaoyi waved him off, "There¡¯s no need to make amends, Senior Mu is not around, and I¡¯m about to go out too." With that, Zuo Shaoyi pulled the woman beside her, and left. Mo Wuji frantically called out, "Senior Zuo, I need a favour from you¡­" Zuo Shaoyi¡¯s expression immediately turned cold, "Mo Wuji, I am not related to you in any way, so there¡¯s no reason for me to help you. I¡¯m also busy with other things and have to leave now." After saying her piece, Zuo Shaoyi did not bother to care about Mo Wuji anymore. She pulled the woman beside her and left swiftly. Not only couldn¡¯t he get Zuo Shaoyi¡¯s help to bring him to Granny Linglong, neither could he get her to point him in the right direction. ¡­ "Shaoyi, he¡¯s that capable young pill refiner that senior apprentice sister Mu was talking about? The person you wanted to introduce to me?" Once they were some distance away, Zuo Shaoying asked. Zuo Shaoyi restlessly responded, "Yes that¡¯s him, someone with low grade spiritual roots. I never kept my hopes up for him, but he actually almost went astray in cultivation at his house. If you only you could see the situation for yourself, he was practically no different from a dead man. Who knew how he lucked out, and advanced to become a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Elder sister, this time it¡¯s my fault, I almost sabotaged you. You saw that guy? He never spoke a word to me before but he¡¯s actually asking me for a favour on our first encounter. This kind of guy is really¡­" Zuo Shaoying remained quiet for awhile, before replying, "Shaoyi, actually I think that he¡¯s not that bad a person. I¡¯m quite untalented too¡­" Her tone had a tinge of loneliness in it. Compared to Zuo Shaoyi, she felt that she was closer to someone with no talent like Mo Wuji. She could empathise with Mo Wuji prostrating himself before her sister, and his helpless greeting of her. Even in front of her powerful and talented sister, she did not really have the right to speak. In reality, she did not truly understand Mo Wuji¡¯s intention behind those actions. If it were for himself, even if it were the Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace before him, Mo Wuji would not have prostrated himself before him, much less an Zuo Shaoyi, an inner disciple. "Elder sister, this time I can confirm that you will be able to join the outer sect of Heaven Seeking Palace, because I obtained something good. Once you join Heaven Seeking Palace, you¡¯ll be able to meet all sorts of handsome hunks. Let¡¯s go." Zuo Shaoyi said from the side. ¡­ "Brother, may I inquire where Granny Linglong stays?" After Zuo Shaoyi left, Mo Wuji waited for awhile, before finally catching a male disciple to question. This male disciple surprisingly did not mind, and pointed out the general direction for Mo Wuji, then taking his leave hurriedly. Mo Wuji responded with a word of thanks, and quickly brought Yan¡¯Er along. He was worried that Granny Linglong was also going to leave this place, because she was here in search for spiritual herbs. A full day had passed since the Five Elements Desolate Domain closed, so if someone had obtained an Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, he might have come knocking at her door already. Once Granny Linglong left this place, it would be near impossible for Mo Wuji to meet her anymore. When the four words "Heaven Seeking Pill Pagoda" appeared before Mo Wuji, he immediately became much more nervous than usual. He had found it. This must be the place that Granny Linglong stays at. Below the sign of Heaven Seeking Pill Pagoda, a young girl clothed in red stoof, and Mo Wuji pulled Yan¡¯Er forward to her. "Can I ask if Granny Linglong¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish his sentence, the girl in red interrupted, "Are you here to look for Granny?" "Yes I am, I¡¯m here to look for Granny Linglong, because¡­" Mo Wuji quickly replied. "That¡¯s enough, just follow me." The girl in red did not even bother listening to Mo Wuji¡¯s explanation, and interrupted him once again. It¡¯s this easy? Mo Wuji was stunned. From what he knew, it should be very difficult to gain an audience with Granny Linglong. Because regardless whether it was Yan Qianyin, Zhen Shaoke, or Hou Yucheng, all did not get their hopes up for his attempt to find Granny Linglong for help. Now he did not explain anything, took out nothing but someone was leading him to her? This made Mo Wuji feel so surreal. Perhaps Granny Linglong changed her personality, and Yan Qianyin and co. simply did not know about it. Mo Wuji really wronged Yan Qianyin and co. The reason he could meet Granny Linglong so easily was because the people in the Five Elements Desolate Domain had just exited today. "Sister Qi, Sister Xiang, these two people are looking for Granny¡­" The girl in red brought Mo Wuji and Yan¡¯Er in front of a door to a room, then respectfully reported to the two girls in front of the door. These are a pair of twins. Mo Wuji thought to himself as he gazed upon these two girls that looked almost identical to one another. "Is there someone looking for me? Let them in." Not waiting for either of the girls to speak, a raspy female voice came from within the room. Chapter 151: What Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? Chapter 151: What Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Granny asks both of you to enter." Finally both girls did not speak in unison, but only the girl on the left gave Mo Wuji instructions. After thanking her, Mo Wuji pulled Yan¡¯Er along and carefully entered the room. Once inside the room, the burnt smell of spiritual herbs wafted into Mo Wuji¡¯s nose. This made him even more worried. At his current pill refining level, he would not burn any spiritual herbs while refining pills anymore, so if Granny Linglong would occasionally burn some, was she really as impressive as others made her to be? Then the lady behind the giant pill furnace came into view. She looked at most thirty, with a brown dress draped over her body. On top of that, she was rather beautiful. A pair of doll like eyes paired with slender eyebrows, with silky black hair tied in a bun, she appeared pure yet carrying an aura of nobility. This is Granny Linglong? She¡¯s obviously a beauty in her prime. Mo Wuji almost thought that they were pulling wool over his eyes. But immediately, he realised that this was not possible. No one would have the ability and the courage to impersonate Granny Linglong at the temporary encampment of Heaven Seeking Palace. "What have you sought me out for?" Seeing that Mo Wuji stared at her without uttering a word, Granny Linglong frowned slightly. This jolted Mo Wuji back to his senses, and he quickly bowed respectfully, "Junior Mo Wuji greets Granny Linglong." He dared not expose a single bit of the thoughts in his mind. "Speak." Granny Linglong was much more direct. With another bow, Mo Wuji spoke worriedly, "This is Yan¡¯Er. She is the person closest to me. I, Junior Mo Wuji, have made this trip to request¡­" Granny Linglong interrupted Mo Wuji at this, "You want to beg me to save her?" "Yes, Junior Mo boldly requests you to do so." Mo Wuji could sense that Granny Linglong was not as bad as what Yan Qianyin and others made her out to be, but the only thing out of place was that she seemed a little too young. The term "Sister Linglong" would perhaps have been more appropriate. Granny Linglong¡¯s gaze swept across Yan¡¯Er¡¯s body, then replying, "Someone tried to steal her spiritual roots but failed, which made her spirit channel network turn into a mess, her mind¡¯s gone haywire and her memories have disappeared. She has at most two years left to live." The news came as a shock to Mo Wuji; at this moment, there was nothing holding him back anymore, so he bowed even lower than before and pleaded, "Please Granny Linglong, please help her. I will do anything." With a glance, Granny Linglong knew Yan¡¯Er¡¯s condition. She could not have faked this level of skill. While spiritual roots snatching and the spiritual roots transfer Shen Lian mentioned was different in their name, but from Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, there was no difference in meaning. At this moment, Mo Wuji felt even more strongly how Yu Zhi felt when he came to beg him; he was now in a similar situation. "I can save her." Granny Linglong was straightforward in her reply. These words were like the words of an angel to Mo Wuji¡¯s ears, and his voice trembled as he said, "I beg you, Granny Linglong, to be merciful, and use your skills to save Yan¡¯Er. Yan¡¯Er has always been lonely and suffering¡­" To Mo Wuji, while Yan¡¯Er was always by his side, she was an orphan, and never could enjoy life. Instead, she always kept taking care of him. "But why should I save her? How is she related to me in any way?" Granny Linglong¡¯s rebuttal made Mo Wuji sink into the depths of despair. He finally understood how difficult it was to get Granny Linglong to help. This was just the start, and he could not find any reason to back himself up. "If you cannot give me a reason to do so, then please leave. I won¡¯t be so calculative with you." A tinge of irritation appeared in Granny Linglong¡¯s voice. "Granny, while I do not have any Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal¡­" Before Mo Wuji could complete his sentence, Granny Linglong angrily interrupted him, "What are you even doing here without a single Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal? Get out." A killing aura immediately enveloped Mo Wuji, and gave him the feeling that he would be torn to pieces the next moment if he made a wrong move. "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji was shocked. Even though he thought that it was hard to talk to Granny Linglong, she did not seem like someone who did not know how to interact with others. However within a blink of the eye, she had such a drastic change in attitude. At this point, Granny Linglong became very agitated as she pointed at Mo Wuji and chided him, "Do you know how difficult it is to save her? She has to follow me for 10 years, and learn my heart technique. If I did not desperately need Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, even if you gave me ten thousand pieces of them, I would not even bother...Screw it, as long as you can give me one piece of Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, I¡¯ll help to save her." As Granny Linglong reached the end of her speech, she seemed to be rather sad and tired of things, before returning to her depressed and disappointed state. Mo Wuji then took out a jade box, "Granny, while I do not have any Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, I managed to obtain an ice flower¡­" Afraid that Granny Linglong would not even bother to take a look, he opened up the box for her. "Get out, get out right now¡­" Granny Linglong¡¯s voice abruptly stopped, and both eyes widened to their maximum as she stared at the jade box in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. Countless breaths later, she broke into a high pitched scream before rushing to his side, snatching the jade box from him. "Hahaha¡­" The next moment, Mo Wuji could only hear the wild cackling of Granny Linglong. If he did not have to beg this woman to save Yan¡¯Er, he would have thought that she was crazy, and brought Yan¡¯Er away a long time ago. "An Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, you actually found an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, haha, haha...Linglong, what I¡¯ve been waiting for has arrived, it¡¯s arrived¡­" Granny Linglong kissed the jade box while laughing like a mad woman. Mo Wuji calmed down immediately. From Granny Linglong¡¯s words, it seemed as though the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower was useful to her, and what he just produced was exactly that. A few minutes passed, Granny Linglong¡¯s laughter slowly died down. She carefully took out a new jade box and transferred the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower into it. Then, she threw Mo Wuji¡¯s jade box to one side. After completing all that, she took a deep breath, before gazing warmly at Mo Wuji and saying, "Mo Wuji, thank you for the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower you brought. I¡¯ll help you heal Yan¡¯Er now. For one Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, other than having me save Yan¡¯Er, I can still agree to another request of yours. Tell me what you want." Granny Linglong¡¯s tone was very warm and friendly, giving off the vibes of a proper lady. It was no longer the demeanor of a crazy woman which was present until a moment ago. The only thing was that her voice was trembling slightly, an apparent sign that she had not completely calmed down from the excitement of receiving an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. Mo Wuji steeled his nerves, then went into a relaxed state. As long as Granny Linglong agreed to save Yan¡¯Er, he did not have to worry any further. With his worries behind him, his mind became much clearer, "Granny, what is this Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower? It¡¯s even better than the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal?" Now Granny Linglong¡¯s mood seemed to be exceptionally good, as she patiently explained, "What¡¯s the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal compared to the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower? Even if there was a house full of Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals, they would not be able to match up to a single Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower petal. Strictly speaking, the previous incarnation of a Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower is a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. But for a Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal to turn into a Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, it¡¯s really too difficult. Only an extreme minority of an extreme minority of Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystals will form its own will under extremely cold conditions, and these Crystals with wills of their own will absorb the soul energy from the surrounding Crystals, slowly turning into an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower over time. For one to grow into a Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower of similar caliber to the one you took out, the conditions are so tough to an extent that you can¡¯t even imagine¡­" Granny Linglong carried on, "Your luck is not bad, to be able to actually obtain an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. For your information, I would have expected you, as a Channel Opening Stage cultivator, to have frozen to death before even getting anywhere close to this flower. I really don¡¯t have the faintest idea how you did it. Tell me about the whole process. Were there other things in the area where the Flower grew?" Mo Wuji quickly responded, "I obtained it at the bottom of an ice mountain. Back then, I entered a large hall in the ice mountain, which had many tunnels, and in one of the tunnels, I was able to obtain this stalk of Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. It was indeed freezing cold in there, but I could still endure it. It¡¯s such a pity that there was only one stalk of the Flower, and nothing else." There was at least 90% truth in his words, because with Granny Linglong¡¯s ability, she could find out that he went into the ice mountain from the bracelet. However, the lie was that he had no bracelet on him, so Granny Linglong naturally had no way of finding out which tunnel he got the Flower from. As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Wuji could feel a powerful spiritual will entering his storage bag. This made him celebrate in his mind. Luckily he hid his own storage bag at his accommodation before coming here. Granny Linglong¡¯s spiritual will circled Mo Wuji¡¯s storage bag for awhile, before being withdrawn, and she nodded, "Not bad, your luck is indeed rather good." With that, Granny Linglong paused for a moment before continuing, "Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit channel network is rather messed up, and she¡¯s not really conscious. Because the spiritual root stealing caused her to lose her memories, it would be very difficult even for me to restore them¡­" "Elder, but you just said¡­" Mo Wuji got a shock, and frantically asked. Granny Linglong waved him off, "You don¡¯t need to worry. As long as you¡¯ve come to me, her life is in no danger. But as for her memories...I¡¯ll have to take a look at her spiritual roots first¡­" After speaking, Granny Linglong grabbed the wrist of Yan¡¯Er, and soon announced confidently, "It¡¯s indeed a valuable mutant wood affinity spiritual root." "Elder, what¡¯s a mutant wood affinity spiritual root?" Mo Wuji questioned. "There are often only Wind, Lightning, and Ice affinity mutant spiritual roots, but once a five element spiritual root mutates, its future potential even exceeds that of the wind, lightning and ice affinity spiritual roots. Mutant wood affinity spiritual roots are the best for pill refiners." With some hesitation, Granny Linglong carried on, "I¡¯ve only taken in two disciples my whole life, and since you¡¯ve offered an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, if you¡¯re willing, I can take her under my wing as a closed disciple. However¡­" Mo Wuji immediately bowed, "It¡¯s Yan¡¯Er¡¯s good fortune for elder to take her in as a disciple. If you have any further instructions, please speak freely." He himself did not have a master, and Granny Linglong¡¯s abilities were extremely advanced too. Furthermore, she was number 1 within the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Pill Pagoda. Why wouldn¡¯t Mo Wuji agree if she wanted to take Yan¡¯Er as a disciple? Chapter 152: Live For Herself Chapter 152: Live For Herself Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Granny Linglong was extremely satisfied with Mo Wuji''s attitude and she continued, "Yan''Er lost her memory due to the failed spiritual transfer. If she cultivates under me, her abilities will improve, and her consciousness will become stronger. However, this would mean that her memories from the past would become more distant, and even eventually disappear." Mo Wuji was momentarily shocked still. If Yan''Er loses her memories, will she still be the same Yan''Er? "Senior, is there no other way?" Mo Wuji asked with a hint of unwillingness. Granny Linglong shook her head, "It''s not as though there is no other way. But there''s one thing I can confirm with you: the higher her cultivation, the harder it would be to regain her memories. By the time she reaches the Spirit Building Stage, the shadows of her past will completely disappear. Perhaps if my grasp over the Pill Dao takes a step forward, I might be able to recover her memories. But I know my own capabilities. It would be very, very hard for my Pill Dao to improve, unless I choose to leave the Lost Continent." Mo Wuji sank into silence. Granny Linglong''s proficiency over the Pill Dao could be considered the highest in the entire Lost Continent. If even Granny Linglong finds it impossible, what about others? "Senior Linglong, if one day, senior''s Pill Dao makes a breakthrough, will you be able to recover her memories?" Mo Wuji held a bit of expectation as he asked again. Granny Linglong sighed, "That would be impossible. With her talent, she will definitely reach Spirit Building in a short time. Once she is in Spirit Building, even the mightiest of pill refiners cannot help her find her memories. Unless you don''t let her cultivate, and even if you do that, her memory will still fade away gradually, it''s just a much slower process. Furthermore, to treat her, you would need to allow her to cultivate." "May I ask how far senior is in the Pill Dao?" Granny Linglong turned to gaze towards an empty space with a misty look in her eyes before she said desolately, "I''m a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill Refiner." She really isn''t a Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner, but a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill Refiner? Mo Wuji''s heart trembled. Previously, he was was simply speculating over Granny Linglong''s tier, and didn''t truly know whether she was a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill Refiner. He guessed that not even Mu Ying knew about Granny Linglong''s level. If Granny Linglong makes a breakthrough, what realm would that be? A Tier 8 Heavenly Pill Refiner, how great would that be? Yan Qianyin did not lie to him. Within the five empires, only Granny Linglong might be capable of saving Yan''Er''s life. Mo Wuji looked at the clueless Yan''Er by his side, inhaled deeply and made his decision; he bowed towards Granny Linglong and said, "Senior, please help. As long as Yan''Er''s life can be saved, nothing else is important." Even if Yan''Er couldn''t regain her memories, he still had to save her. Granny Linglong nodded towards Mo Wuji, "You¡¯re not bad. How about I give you this opportunity, before Yan¡¯Er reaches the Spirit Building Stage, you should interact with her more, talk to her more, and chat about the past. This is the only way for her to find her memories before the Spirit Building Stage." "But my spiritual roots are poor, and I''m completely unable to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace, much less the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda¡­" Mo Wuji said helplessly. Granny Linglong laughed gently, "On the account that you helped me find the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, I will help you one more time." With that, Granny Linglong sent a jade token into Mo Wuji''s hand, "Take this jade token to the Heaven Seeking Palace, and say that I allowed you to be a Heaven Seeking Palace outer disciple. When the time comes, you can bring the jade token to find Yan''Er. This is as much I can help you with Yan''Er." "Many thanks Senior." Mo Wuji received the jade token and bowed respectfully and excitedly. He was just worrying over how he could enter the Heaven Seeking Palace and visit Yan''Er, and now Granny Linglong helped him out. How could he not be happy? When a person reaches a certain stage, his magnanimity would also reach a certain stage. Compared to that Jing Feilan, how many times stronger was Granny Linglong? But when she wanted to take Yan''Er in as her disciple, she still seeked his opinion. At the same time, Granny Linglong did not mind his inferior spiritual roots, and allowed him to visit Yan''Er, and even found him a way to recover Yan¡¯Er''s memories. She didn''t even say any heart wrenching words Even though this was his Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower taking it''s effect, it also had something to do with Granny Linglong''s magnanimity. "If you have any other requests, please feel free to say them. I will help you to the best of my abilities," Granny Linglong asked once more. "Senior helped me save Yan''Er, and even allowed me to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace as an outer disciple. That''s already more help than I could ask for. If I were to ask for anything else, then I would be far too demanding. My wish has already been fulfilled by senior, I have no other requests," Mo Wuji replied sincerely. He was also clear that one must not be too greedy. If he asked for too much, he would only call for disdain. "Who is Yan''Er to you?" Granny Linglong was a little touched with Mo Wuji''s selflessness. "Yan''Er was my servant, but in my heart, she''s my only close one," Mo Wuji looked at Yan''Er and spoke with a tinge of melancholy. He was truly worried that Yan''Er''s memories of him would completely disappear. Ever since he came to this world, Yan''Er was the only one he truly cared for. One woman stabbed him in the back, while one girl took care of him at the expense of her own happiness. It was only through these experiences, that he knew how precious and lucky he was to know the latter. Granny Linglong sighed, "For your own servant, you used your Channel Opening Stage cultivation and risked your life to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain and find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal. Perhaps you are the only person in the entire Lost Continent who would do that." With that, she looked at Mo Wuji with a gentle gaze and said in a warm tone, "Why don''t you go back first. Yan''Er can stay here with me. You can visit me whenever you want." Mo Wuji thanked Granny Linglong once more. Thereafter, he nagged at Yan''Er, telling her to be careful and take care of herself well before he left unwillingly. He knew that when he leaves, the Yan''Er he meets in the future might be a complete stranger. Nonetheless, he would still do what he did. For Yan''Er¡¯s life, nothing else is important. Yan''Er was already so old, but she did not truly live a single day for herself. If Yan''Er truly lost her memories, then she could live for herself; she did not need to treat herself as other''s belongings, nor did she need to live as a servant. Regardless of the outcome, he would always protect this girl who lived for him for more than 10 years. Seeing the distant Mo Wuji''s lonely and desolate figure, Granny Linglong stroked Yan''Er''s head and said, "Regardless of what happens, you must not forget him. Remember, he''s called Mo Wuji. He is a man with poor spiritual roots, yet risked his life to save yours. Furthermore, he did not ask for you to remember him. He just wants you to live on!" Granny Linglong sighed as Yan''Er looked at her quizzically. Mo Wuji made his acts sound casual, but as a Heavenly Pill Refiner, how could she not understand the difficulty Mo Wuji had to go through to obtain the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower? For any 10 cultivators below the Yuan Dan Stage to even attempt to grab the Soul-prolonging Flower, nine will die and only one would survive. Mo Wuji could only cheat little kids with his story about how he easily found the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. There was only one condition to obtain the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, that is to sacrifice your life. Up to now, she still didn''t know how Mo Wuji did it. He actually survived and obtained the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. However, since he didn''t talk about it, she would not ask. After all, everyone had their own secrets. ¡­ "Wuji, where''s Yan''Er?" Seeing Mo Wuji''s lone figure, Zhen Shaoke, who was awaiting Mo Wuji''s arrival, asked anxiously. "Fortunately, Yan''Er''s spiritual roots were not bad, so Granny Linglong decided to take her in as her personal disciple, allowing Yan¡¯Er to have an opportunity to live on," Mo Wuji replied. The matter with the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower is too huge. Despite his good relationship with Zhen Shaoke, he would not casually mention it. Moreover, this affair had no influence on Zhen Shaoke, so why would he needlessly put himself in danger? He heard that all cultivators who obtained the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal had all disappeared. According to Granny Linglong, his Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower was far more valuable. If this affair gets exposed, could he retain his peaceful and stable life? If he knew that the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower was so valuable, he might not have brought it to Granny Linglong. Fortunately, Granny Linglong was not like the rumours. She was indeed hard to move and request, but once she accepted his request, she would be especially accommodating. Furthermore, Granny Linglong did not specifically instruct him not to leak the matter of the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower; he could tell that Granny Linglong wasn''t one of those scheming seniors. He believed that Granny Linglong herself would not talk about the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. If she did not talk, nor did he, then no one would know that he ever possessed the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. Zhen Shaoke heaved a sigh of relief, "That''s good. Yan''Er is such a cute, young girl. If anything happens to her, I would also be upset." With that, Zhen Shaoke hurriedly added, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Shaoru had become an inner disciple in the Heaven Seeking Palace." Mo Wuji nodded; Zhen Shaoru said that he obtained something good, and now the Heaven Seeking Palace was accepting disciples. As long as Shaoru offered it up, he would naturally have a chance of becoming a disciple. "You don''t have to worry about Yan''Er. Granny Linglong is definitely the number one pill refiner in the Lost Continent. As long as she acts, there''s a good 80 to 90% chance that nothing bad will happen to Yan¡¯Er. If you are willing, you can temporarily stay in the Nine Moons Pill House, I can help you get the status of an elder¡­" With Shaoru joining the Heaven Seeking Palace, Zhen Shaoke¡¯s mood was high. Now that Yan''Er could be saved, Mo Wuji could also stay in his Nine Moons Pill House. Others might feel that Mo Wuji''s talent was bad, and that he did not have a good future, but he did not feel so. He felt that Mo Wuji was definitely not an ordinary Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Asking Mo Wuji to be the Nine Moons Pill House Elder, it wasn''t Mo Wuji who was at the advantage, but Nine Moons Pill House. Mo Wuji replied apologetically, "Granny Linglong gave me a jade token, promising me a place in the Heaven Seeking Palace as an outer disciple. I guess I won''t be going to the Nine Moons Pill House." "Ah!" Zhen Shaoke was momentarily at a loss, before he said gleefully, "Wuji, that''s good ah. I will not be at the Heaven Seeking Palace, and I was just worrying about that brainless Shaoru. Now that you''re going there too, you two can take care of one another." Zhen Shaoke was secretly shocked at Yan''Er''s talent. Not only did Granny Linglong accept Yan''Er as a disciple, she even promised Mo Wuji a place as an outer disciple in the Heaven Seeking Palace. What ridiculous talent was that? Chapter 153: Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner Chapter 153: Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Pill Master Mo, you are back," The moment Mo Wuji entered Yu Zhi¡¯s house, he stood up to greet him as if he had been waiting for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji forced a smile as he replied, "Brother Yu, I shall start my preparation to help you concoct the Body Constructing Pills. Please follow me." "Many thanks, Pill Master Mo," Yu Zhi knew that he should not keep pressing Mo Wuji for it and that he could tell Mo Wuji was feeling a little dejected but the Body Constructing Pill was really too important for him. Having brought Yu Zhi to his house, Mo Wuji asked both Yu Zhi and Fei Bingzhu to wait outside his room as he entered his own room to retrieve his storage bag and pill furnace. Mo Wuji took out a bunch of spiritual herbs as he started by concocting the Earth Yuan Pill. The Earth Yuan Pill was also a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill and it was in fact the lowest grade pill out of all the Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pills. It could be used to replenish a cultivator¡¯s elemental energy. Back when Mo Wuji first started to learn to concoct Tier 4 pills, he chose the Earth Yuan Pill. Previously when Mo Wuji first tried to concoct the Earth Yuan Pill, he always fell through before the complete purification of the ingredients. This time round, Mo Wuji could easily purify and extract the medicinal essence before starting the fusion of the essence... The final step of condensing the pills was completed without any difficulty and within an hour, Mo Wuji managed to retrieve a batch of Earth Yuan Pills from the furnace. Mo Wuji looked thankfully at the 12 Earth Yuan Pills on his hands as he finally advanced to become a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. This was despite the fact that he was actually confident of concocting a Tier 4 Earth Spiritual Pill even before this as he could clearly sensed the advancements in his cultivation level, spiritual will and his understanding of the Pill Dao. One must know that he used a red firestone and a very basic pill furnace to concoct these pills. Even so, he managed to concoct the Earth Yuan Pill without any difficulties at all. Using his spiritual will, his pill techniques in the pill furnace was like a fish in the water. Whether it was purification, extraction, fusion or retrieval, he did not face any hiccups or used much of his strength at all. This could perhaps be the true way of pill refinement. If he was to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition now, he was 90% confident that he could achieve first place. The fact that he finally advanced to become a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner made Mo Wuji finally feel a little better. Within the five big empires, a Tier 4 Pill Refiner was definitely regarded very highly. Yan Qianyin was a Tier 4 Pill Refiner who was well respected by Formless Blade Sect Head, Gu Ran. As for Mo Wuji, he was definitely worthy of the title of a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. After keeping his pill furnace, Mo Wuji walked out of his house. Yu Zhi was the first to welcome him as he looked anxiously at Mo Wuji, wondering about the progress of the Body Constructing Pills¡¯ concoction. Mo Wuji gave Yu Zhi a pat on his shoulder, "Brother Yu, do not worry as I¡¯ve just did a preliminary test to confirm I can definitely help you concoct this pill. The only drawback was that the conditions here are too poor, hence, I will be heading out to purchase an orange firestone." Mo Wuji did not dare to take the risk of using a normal red firestone to concoct as the Body Constructing Pill was more valuable than the Earth Yuan Pill after all. He would not be able to face Yu Zhi if he was to fail to concoct the pills. "Pill Master Mo, I have a yellow firestone here. Does it work?" Yu Zhi took out a pale yellow stone from his own storage bag as he asked. Even without touching this stone, Mo Wuji could feel the blazing fire burning from within the stone. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s first time seeing a yellow firestone. After grabbing the yellow firestone from Yu Zhi, he stared at it for a few moments before exclaiming, "What a marvellous stone..." He immediately said with a lot of conviction, "Brother Yu, the yellow firestone is two grades higher than a normal red firestone which even the orange firestone is not comparable to. Using the yellow firestone, I will definitely be able to help you concoct the Tier 4 Body Constructing Pills." Yu Zhi always had his doubts on whether Mo Wuji was actually capable enough to concoct the Body Constructing Pills. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s assuring words coupled with his interaction with Mo Wuji till today made him believe that Mo Wuji was not a person who would say things he did not mean. Mo Wuji could tell that Yu Zhi still had his doubts hence, he simply said, "How about you follow me in?" "Thank you Pill Master Mo," The moment he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s request for him to follow him in, he agreed instantly because the Body Constructing Pills were as important as his life to him. ... After bringing Yu Zhi into his room, Mo Wuji brought out his pill furnace and ignited the yellow firestone simultaneously. He did not start concocting the Body Constructing Pills straightaway but started with the Earth Yuan Pills again. Yu Zhi sat by the side as he watched Mo Wuji so nervously that he did not even dare to breathe out loud. This time round, Mo Wuji spent an even lesser amount of time to produce a batch of higher quality Earth Yuan Pills. If it was not for the heavy exhaustion of the yellow firestone, Mo Wuji wanted to continue concocting a few more batches of Tier 4 pills to practice his techniques. Yu Zhi recognised the Earth Yuan Pills and as he saw Mo Wuji producing the Earth Yuan Pills so comfortably, his confidence in Mo Wuji increased tremendously. The yellow firestone was not only valuable, it was also very hard to obtain which was why Mo Wuji did not dare to waste such an ideal resource. After concocting just one batch of Earth Yuan Pills, he immediately took out the ingredients for the Body Constructing Pills. After cleaning the furnace a few times, Mo Wuji started to purify the ingredients accordingly. As compared to Earth Yuan Pill, Mo Wuji was actually more familiar with the Body Constructing Pill. This was because he had this pill formula in his pill manual and as for the actual steps to concoct the pills, he could tell if there was any changes in steps at one glance. Mo Wuji purified the the ingredients very professionally before starting to fuse the essences. Comparing with the Earth Yuan Pill, the Body Constructing Pill required much more effort from the pill refiner. Even though Mo Wuji had not concocted the Body Constructing Pill before, because of his familiarity with the pill formula coupled with the perfect combination of his spiritual will and pill techniques, it seemed as though he was born to concoct this pill. Seeing how Mo Wuji purify the ingredients so smoothly without any hiccups, Yu Zhi¡¯s confidence grew yet again. In the end, he totally forgot that he was the one who pleaded for the pills as he was simply too amazed by Mo Wuji¡¯s majestic hand techniques. After an hour, only when the scent of completed pills emerged did Yu Zhi realised that he was here for the pills. At this very moment, he was so excited as he stood up clenching his fist extremely tightly. Even though he knew nothing about pill refinement, he knew Mo Wuji had reached the most crucial step as he was about to complete his concoction. At the same time, his heart felt an indescribable fear, a fear that Mo Wuji would fail to complete it. As the scent got more concentrated, Mo Wuji suddenly stopped his repetitious hand techniques. Yu Zhi¡¯s heart almost jumped out of his mouth as he witnessed this moment. Just as he thought that there was something wrong with this batch of pills, a batch of gorgeous looking pills fell gracefully like a rainbow into the jade vase beside Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. Yu Zhi looked anxiously at the jade vase and he would have grabbed it at the first moment if not for his respect and gratitude for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji retrieved a handful of light red coloured pills to sniff and when he was satisfied, he placed them back into the vase before handing the entire jade vase to Yu Zhi saying, "Brother Yu, by the stroke of luck, 12 Body Constructing Pills have been successfully concocted." "Many thanks Pill Master Mo. From today onwards, you shall be my greatest benefactor," Yu Zhi could no longer contain his gratitude as he fell on his knees. Mo Wuji hurried to help Yu Zhi up, "Brother Yu, we are brothers hence, there is no need for this. Hurry go save your wife as I continue to make full use of the flame to concoct more batches of pills." Yu Zhi nodded his head before turning his back, preparing to leave. Sometimes, actions are better than words to show gratitude. "Pill Master Mo, will you still be staying in Nine Moons Pill House after this?" Just as he reached the doorstep, Yu Zhi turned to ask this. Mo Wuji shook his head as he answered, "I am now a Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s outer sect disciple. If you still need to concoct any pills, you can find me at the Heaven Seeking Palace." "All right," Yu Zhi did not question any further as he sped out of the room. The moment the firestone was ignited, it could not be stopped halfway. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not want to let this yellow firestone go to waste just like that. After concocting yet another batch of Body Constructing Pills, he took out the ingredients for the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill. Even though concocting the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill might be tough, it should not be much tougher than the Body Constructing Pill. With his strong spiritual will and hand techniques, he successfully concocted two batches of Earthly Soul Protecting Pills. As the yellow firestone¡¯s flame died down, Mo Wuji decided to stop any more concoction. After keeping the furnace and cleaning up the place, Mo Wuji walked out of his house. Other than Fei Bingzhu, Mo Wuji also saw Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu standing outside his door. Mo Wuji understood the situation very quickly. Xiong Xiuzhu was specifically hired to take care of Yan¡¯Er and now that Yan¡¯Er was left under the care of Granny Linglong, there was nothing for Xiong Xiuzhu to do now. Xiong Xiuzhu and her husband were probably worried about their own future hence, coming over to ask Mo Wuji. Seeing the duo¡¯s uneasy eyes, Mo Wuji hurried to say, "Brother Tao and Sister Xiong, please do not worry. I am intending to open a small shop to sell various pills in a cultivation city near the Heaven Seeking Palace. I would probably be too busy to tend the shop which is why I intend to let Bingzhu take charge while the two of you assist him¡­" "Haha, Wuji¡¯s thinking was just the exact opposite of mine. My Nine Moons Pill House was intending to open a new outlet in the Heaven Seeking City. If Wuji was intending to open a shop, you can simply leave this matter to me," Zhen Shaoke¡¯s clear voice could be heard from a distance away. Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised as he heard Zhen Shaoke¡¯s words. He wanted to put all his energy and focus on opening more meridians and advancing to the next cultivation level. He would definitely not have enough energy to open and managed a shop. Other than helping himself fight for more cultivation resources, his main reason to open a shop was to help Fei Bingzhu and the couple. Now that Zhen Shaoke voluntarily chose to do this, it was considered to be a tremendous help to Mo Wuji. "Shaoke, I would have to trouble you then," Mo Wuji did not stand on ceremony as he needed this help. "Many thanks young master, many thanks Young House Master," Xiong Xiuzhu and Tao Ao were both very pleased as they were already very close with Fei Bingzhu so being able to work beside him would be very pleasurable. "Wuji, leave this matter to me. I will discuss it further with Bingzhu. You should hurry report to the Heaven Seeking Palace because it would be very troublesome if you were to report late even if you have Granny Linglong¡¯s jade token," Zhen Shaoke hurried to remind Mo Wuji as his purpose here was exactly to rush Mo Wuji. Chapter 154: Heaven Seeking Palace Chapter 154: Heaven Seeking Palace Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji made another visit to the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment, and discovered that there were truly registration signs there, leading to the hall where they had the pill refiners¡¯ interaction session. The doors to the hall were wide open, with many people going in and out. Mo Wuji entered the hall and saw two application signs. The left was the registration site for outer disciples, while the right was for inner disciples. At this moment, there was no one registering, clearly, the key period for registration was over. Mo Wuji was about to fetch the jade token Granny Linglong gave him when he heard a slightly pleasantly surprised call from behind him, "Senior apprentice brother Mo, you''re also here to register?" The one speaking was a lady dressed in grey robes, the lady looked delicate and pretty, and she wore a pleasant smile on her face. "It''s you?" Mo Wuji could roughly recognise this lady. Previously, when he went to find Granny Linglong, this lady was by Zuo Shaoyi¡¯s side, she should be Zuo Shaoyi''s older sister. When Zuo Shaoyi saw him, she looked as though she had seen a ghost. He would never expect her sister to take the initiative to call him "senior apprentice brother", and even with such pleasant surprise. Actually, Zuo Shaoyi''s older sister was much prettier than Zuo Shaoyi. It was just that she seemed to intentionally dress herself older than she actually was, and also tried to look inconspicuous by wearing grey robes. Even though he wasn''t clear of the situation, Mo Wuji still bowed, "Yes, I came to try my luck." "I''m Zuo Shaoying¡­" Before she could even finish her sentence, a hand pulled her to the side, and a cold voice could be heard, "Mo Wuji, don''t think that you''re amazing just because you''re acquainted with senior apprentice sister Mu. Sister, if such a person comes to talk to you, you can just ignore him." Zuo Shaoyi had walked over, and Mo Wuji could not help but frown. This woman was truly loathesome. He was too lazy to explain as he turned and tried to leave. "You''re Mo Wuji, the trashy pill refiner who climbed from that Formless Blade Sect?" Another pride filled voice could be heard. This voice had an imperious tone, as though he was talking to an ant. Mo Wuji turned to see a young man dressed in purple robes. This fella was standing by Zuo Shaoyi''s side and had a face like a horse. Most importantly, he did not even recognise this person. He was flaming in his heart; he could tone down for the sake of Yan''Er but he really couldn''t care about anything else. He clearly did not know who this horse face was, but this horse face had a mouth full of sh*t. "Oh, you''re that onion ah. Just because you ate a gold plated xiang, then you''ll also be a xiang? And you even present yourself in front of a crowd? Idiot, even if you''re a xiang, you can''t even compare to a pile of sand." Mo Wuji did not hold back and simply let loose. "Very good. I, Ju Qijian, want to see how big your balls are." The horse faced man was more infuriated than Mo Wuji; he had never seen such an arrogant ant. Just because he could enter the Heaven Seeking Palace''s outer sect, then he deserved to be arrogant? "Senior apprentice brother Qijian, you recognize him?" Zhen Shaoyi asked. Ju Qijian? Why does this name sound so familiar? Mo Wuji soon recalled where he heard this name from. Wasn''t this Ju Qijian the Formless Blade Sect''s Seventh Sword Summit Lord? Initially, he wanted to stay in the Seventh Sword Summit, but after knowing that the Lotus Sword Summit was nearer to the Hanging Sword Cliff, he decided to choose the Lotus Sword Summit. Ju Qijian replied disdainfully, "This person is a guest pill refiner from the Formless Blade Sect. I never expected that his balls were big enough to cover the sky, as he wanted to stay in my Seventh Sword Summit. Eventually, he seemed to know what was good for him; after hearing that the Seventh Sword Summit was mine, he did not dare go up¡­" Mo Wuji''s eyebrows twitched, could this fella paste any more gold on his face? Him not staying at the Seventh Sword Summit had nothing to do with this Ju Qijian. More accurately, he chose the Lotus Sword Summit because of its proximity to the Hanging Sword Cliff. "Ha Ha, Brother Mo, you called this fella a xiang, but what is a xiang ah?" A loud laughter could be heard, seemingly helping Mo Wuji. Seeing Hou Yucheng walk over, Mo Wuji thought in his heart: This fella really comes at the right times. "Ya, Wuji, what''s that? Ha Ha, I''m already a Heaven Seeking Palace outer disciple." Following behind Hou Yucheng was Zhen Shaoru. His loud and boisterous attitude was still the same. "It''s what comes out of your ass when you eat too much¡­" As Mo Wuji was about to complete his sentence, he suddenly felt something wrong. With Zhen Shaoru''s talent and contribution to the Heaven Seeking Palace, how could he simply be an outer disciple? Hou Yucheng chortled, Mo Wuji''s words were really snideful. On the other hand, the other disciples in the hall looked at Mo Wuji with contempt, looking down on his low level humor. Ju Qijian''s face had long turned green. If this wasn''t the Heaven Seeking Palace registration site, he would have used his magic treasure and shred this Mo Wuji into pieces. Zuo Shaoyi coldly said, "All talk and no action. If he really has guts, then why didn''t he stay in Senior apprentice brother Qijian''s summit?" Mo Wuji was thoroughly annoyed with this woman, "What does my living area got to do with you? The air on the Seventh Sword Summit is especially manly, and this old man likes it. OK?" "Shaoyi, let''s not continue. Just now, I¡­" Zuo Shaoying wanted to pull Zuo Shaoyi away. Zuo Shaoyi snorted and interrupted Zuo Shaoying''s words, "Sister, I already told you before. Don''t go close to this kind of people, seeing his vulgar appearance really disgusts me." "Mo Wuji, I have remembered you. I hope that you can live happily in the Heaven Seeking Palace." Ju Qijian glared at Mo Wuji pugnaciously and threw out that sentence before leaving with the Zuo sisters. He did not even put Hou Yucheng in his eyes; when placed in front of the Heaven Seeking Palace, the Heaven Demon Sect did not count for much. "Wuji, hurry and register," Zhen Shaoru said excitedly by the side. He did not bother about that Ju Qijian; he only scared if both he and Mo Wuji could successfully be accepted into the Heaven Seeking Palace. Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Shaoru, why are you an outer disciple? Shouldn''t you be an inner disciple?" Zhen Shaoru chuckled, "You think it''s so easy to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace''s inner sect? Not only does your cultivation need to reach a certain level, you would need to go through various tests. Unless you can be like Hou Yucheng, and offer a Flower of the True Gods." Mo Wuji looked at Hou Yucheng in shock, he did not expect that in his two months confinement in the ice mountain, Hou Yucheng actually obtained a Flower of the True Gods. Hou Yucheng snickered, "Brother Mo, don''t look at me with that gaze. I only found the Flower of the True Gods by chance. Hurry and register. I believe that with your capabilities, you will soon become a disciple of the inner sect." Hou Yucheng had no doubts over how Mo Wuji obtained his registration qualifications, he did not even ask Mo Wuji where he obtained it from. It was as though it was totally natural that Mo Wuji could become a Heaven Seeking Palace outer disciple. Mo Wuji was extremely ecstatic. Both Hou Yucheng and Zhen Shaoru were his friends, and now that they were both going to the Heaven Seeking Palace, he wouldn''t be that lonely there. "Rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji, registering for Heaven Seeking Palace''s outer sect." Mo Wuji retrieved his jade token and placed it on the counter. The recording disciple saw Mo Wuji''s jade token and almost stood up in shock. He carefully sized Mo Wuji up before carefully recording Mo Wuji''s name. He then passed a "Outer Disciple Mo Wuji" jade token to Mo Wuji. If he could, he truly wanted to ask Mo Wuji what was his relationship with Granny Linglong. ¡­ Three days later. Except for a few permanently stationed merchant houses, the various houses and sects have left the Five Elements Desolate Domain gathering venue. Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru bid their farewells to Zhen Shaoke before leaving on the Heaven Seeking Palace''s gigantic flying ship. Fei Bingzhu, Tao Ao and Xiong Xiuzhu, the three of them followed Zhen Shaoke to the Nine Moons Pill House. Thereafter, they followed Zhen Shaoke''s arrangements to the Heaven Seeking City. Compared to Zhen Shaoke''s flying magic treasure, the Heaven Seeking Palace''s flying ship was a huge giant. Even an outer disciple like Mo Wuji was allocated his own room. Perhaps he was restricted by the Heaven Seeking Palace sect rules; Ju Qijian did not come to bother Mo Wuji. Besides the occasional meet ups with Hou Yucheng and Zhen Shaoru, Mo Wuji spent most of his time silently in his room, cultivating his spiritual will. He was really eager to start brewing his channel opening solution, but he truly did not dare do so. After all, there were Heaven Realm experts on this flying ship such as the Second Dean Feng Zhenqiu. If someone discovers the purpose behind his drug, then he would be screwed. Three days later, Mo Wuji suddenly felt a tremor beneath his feet, followed by sounds of chatter outside. "Wuji, we''re here. Hurry up!" The loudmouth Zhen Shaoru called out. We''ve arrived? Mo Wuji remembered that when he first went to the Five Elements Desolate Domain with Zhen Shaoke, he took a good half of a month. But now he had arrived in just three days? Mo Wuji hurriedly left his room. As he stood on the flying ship deck looking onto the Heaven Seeking Palace, he was truly transfixed. The Heaven Seeking Palace was like a planet hung up within the white clouds. Beneath the white clouds, a towering gate was revealed. The entire sect was shrouded within the clouds, and no buildings could be seen, giving off an extremely surreal and mysterious feeling. The Heaven Seeking Palace wasn''t truly Heaven, but to the transfixed Mo Wuji, it was f*cking awesome. "Stop staring. There''s nothing much to see here. When we enter the sect, you will realise it''s not much different from other sects." Hou Yucheng walked over and laughed gently. "Who asked me to have been stuck in a well for all my life." Mo Wuji laughed in return. The first to alight were the Heaven Seeking Palace elders and deacons, followed by the disciples who entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. The last to alight were the new disciples like Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was searching within the crowd, trying to find the figures of Granny Linglong and Yan''Er. Disappointingly, they were long gone, and he didn''t get to see them. He didn''t even see the twins who were with Granny Linglong. At the same time, he did not see the Second Dean, Feng Zhenqiu. However, he did get to see Pill Master Ming Ning and Mu Ying. "Let''s go," Zhen Shaoru pulled the blank Mo Wuji and followed the crowd of new disciples. Chapter 155: A Bunch Of Trash Chapter 155: A Bunch Of Trash Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The moment inner disciples, like Hou Yucheng, entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, there were personal guides to bring them around. On the other hand, outer disciples, like Mo Wuji and Zhen Shaoru, were gathered together and herded around. Mo Wuji did not mind; he had even been a service disciple before, so how would this treatment be bad? Since he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, he was constantly looking up and down. Within the Heaven Seeking Palace, there were truly less sights were clouds pervaded in the air. A 20 to 25 meters wide bluestone path extended forward. There were rows upon rows of magnificent buildings, imbuing a majestic atmosphere. Mo Wuji also saw an unfathomably deep valley. There were many clouds hovering within the valley. Faraway, there was a mountain. On that mountain, was an extremely eye-catching structure. This eye-catching structure was a colossal tower which extended into the clouds. No one could even see the top of the tower. "That''s the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Immortal Training Tower, it''s one of the symbols of the sect." Seeing Mo Wuji mesmerized with the high tower, Zhen Shaoru chuckled and said. Immortal Training Tower? Mo Wuji immediately recalled the Fringe City''s Immortal Training Tower. He heard from Yan Qianyin that the Fringe City Immortal Training Tower was modeled after the one in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Not even a year had passed, and he already got to see the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Immortal Training Tower. Since this was the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Immortal Training Tower, it would definitely have a Lightning Tempering Room. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji''s heart burnt furiously. He couldn''t wait to concoct his new channel opening solution before entering the Lightning Tempering Room to open his meridians. A black robed man landed in front of the crowd of outer disciples. His gaze swept across the outer disciples before saying quietly, "The Heaven Seeking Palace is a gathering of geniuses. Here, there are no trash, only geniuses." Everyone else was silent; they knew deep in their hearts whether they were geniuses or not. Clearly, many of the people here felt themselves to be geniuses. The black robed man suddenly stopped before snorting, "But this legacy has been broken. Because today, the Heaven Seeking Palace is accepting a pile of trash, and the pile of trash is you¡­" The group of outer disciples immediately became restless. Clearly, they were not comfortable with those words. Besides Mo Wuji, almost everyone was a glorious hero or a Chosen of their sect. To think that they would actually be treated as trash the moment they entered the Heaven Seeking Palace. "Quiet down! Whoever mutters another word will immediately be kicked out of the Heaven Seeking Palace." The black robed man¡¯s words were filled with killing intent. The crowd instantly went silent. Waiting for the crowd to quiet down, the black robed man continued with a cold face, "Because all of you depended on the spiritual herbs within the Five Elements Desolate Domain to enter the gates of our Heaven Seeking Palace. If not for the Five Elements Desolate Domain, you all are trash." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: This guy has balls. Exchanging spiritual herbs for an opportunity to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace was definitely decisions made by the members of the upper echelons. This fella is actually criticizing those people for breaking the rules. "... So all of you can only stay in the most trashy outer sect mountain¡­" As he said this, the black robed man waved his hand, and an extremely vivid and life-like image of a mountain appeared in front of everyone. The mountain was even stratified under different districts; Mo Wuji saw that District A was at the peak, while District C was at the foot of the mountain. In the middle, there were Districts B and D. After everyone had a clear look at the mountain, the black robed man coldly continued, "Before you enter the mountain, you will need to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase. 10 steps will get you into District C. 11 to 15: District B, while climbing above 15 steps would allow you into District A. If you can''t even climb ten steps, then you can f*ck off to District D." The moment the black robed man finished his introduction, someone asked, "Senior, why is the District D the worst when its height is no lower than District B?" The black robed man coldly replied, "Because District D is positioned at the back of a spiritual energy gathering array, and the spiritual density is extremely low. Furthermore, District D disciples get allocated the least resources. But there are advantages to District D too. At least District D is broad and vast; everyone can have space for their own backyard. So if you want to live comfortably, don''t take that 10th step." Everyone instantly understood. But why did they come to the Heaven Seeking Palace? To live more comfortably? All of them were the prides of their sects, why in fart''s world would they want to seek comfort in the Heaven Seeking Palace? Wouldn''t they be able to be as comfortable as they liked back in their own sects? There''s only one goal here, that is to enter the inner sect and become a true disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. Staying in a place without spiritual energy was akin to destroying their own future, much less becoming a true disciple. Perhaps there was only one person who would think otherwise: Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was clear about his own situation. The amount of spiritual energy he absorbed during cultivation was crazy. Staying in a spiritual energy sparse environment might affect him, but it was still better than staying with a crowd. If he stayed in a crowd, someone would immediately notice when he starts cultivating, and even find out how absurd his absorption speed was. Everything else was secondary, the primary thing for Mo Wuji was to avoid the crowd and have place of his own where he could cultivate and concoct his channel opening solution. As for spiritual energy, he had so many spirit stones and he was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, so what''s there to worry about? District D was at the side of the outer sect mountain, so the flow of people was naturally lesser. Furthermore, no one would want to specially visit a spirituality sparse district. Most importantly, the area was very vast, and there were few people staying there. This was the perfect place for Mo Wuji to settle in. So District D it is then. Of course, if everyone wasn''t able to climb more than 10 steps, then he would try to charge to somewhere higher. As long as he stayed somewhere with fewer people, that would be good enough. "Now, all outer disciples will follow me to the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Thereafter, according to your individual results, you will choose your residences in the outer sect mountain." With that, the black robed man turned and walked off. Mo Wuji and co. hurriedly followed behind him, stepping onto that broad bluestone path. As they followed the bluestone path for a little more than 10 minutes, a huge square appeared in front of everybody''s eyes. The square was on the right of the bluestone path. At the edge of the square, there was a towering statue. By the side of the statue, was a bluestone staircase extending upwards. There didn''t seem to be many steps, but as Mo Wuji looked at the top, it seemed to look very obscure. As they followed the black robed man to the bluestone staircase next to the statue, Mo Wuji could clearly see three huge words erected by the side of the statue: Heaven Seeking Staircase. This was the Heaven Seeking Staircase? Each step was no more than 50 centimeters tall, was it so hard climb 10 steps? Mo Wuji wasn''t the only one thinking this, almost everyone else had similar thoughts. The black robed man¡¯s gaze swept across these 200 to 300 outer disciples before saying indifferently, "Everyone will now starting climbing the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Thereafter, report to the Hall of Affairs to exchange for your a residential allocation jade token and some miscellaneous items." Feeling rather unsatisfied, the group of outer disciples were very eager to try their hand at the Heaven Seeking Staircase. With the black robed man''s words, they all started charging towards the staircase. Mo Wuji stayed at the back, he saw those outer disciples climbing the Heaven Seeking Staircase climbing without much difficulty, they easily climbed up to the third step. Mo Wuji also tried stepping onto the Heaven Seeking Staircase. The instant his foot landed, a strong pressure acted against him, pushing and pulling him at the same time. However, this force was nothing much for Mo Wuji; he easily took the second step. The pressure on the second step was two times that of the first, but it still wasn''t much for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji came to understand why these outer disciples¡¯ speed was so fast. His cultivation should be the lowest here, and even he could climb to the second step easily. It must have been more of a breeze for these people. Soon, Mo Wuji discovered that the Heaven Seeking Staircase wasn''t so simple. As he climbed the third step, he felt a pressure more than two times that of the second step. At the fourth step, it was close to four times the third step. Mo Wuji looked up the the seemingly endless staircase and understood the might of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. At the rate of increase, the higher you went, the more terrifying the pressure. One can imagine, if one could only barely climb up the 20th step, then it would honestly be impossible to climb the 21st step. Under this rapid increase in pressure, simply pushing yourself would not work. As Mo Wuji climbed the 6th step, the majority of cultivators had already reached the 10th step. Even though it was still easy for Mo Wuji, for the sake of not climbing the 10th step, he acted as though he was getting out of breath. As he climbed the 7th step, he found that he was the only one left. Even the weakest one had already reached the 8th step. A few of the stronger cultivators had even passed the 15th step and made their way into the 16th step. At the 8th step, Mo Wuji truly felt an intense pressure. He needed to start putting in some effort. Mo Wuji did not continue to climb the 9th step but looked up. He estimated that he should not have any problems reaching the 13th step. But to reach the 15th step did not look likely. As he looked up, he saw that most of the cultivators were already pressed as they passed the 10th step. Close to two hours passed. Except for the rare few who were struggling to push themselves up, a majority of the cultivators stopped at where they were. Many of them tries to force themselves up, only to roll back down. Mo Wuji looked around and noticed that there were only 18 others who were below the 10th step. Only one of them was at the 8th step with him. The other 17 were all on the 9th step. The black robed man cried aloud, "Time¡¯s up. Everyone is to record down your own results, then report it to the sect''s outer sect Hall of Affairs for your residences. Learn from this lesson, and treat the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase as your target." Chapter 156: Heaven Seeking City Chapter 156: Heaven Seeking City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji only climbed to the eighth step and was ranked bottom out of the 200 over outer disciples. The other fella who was ranked at the bottom with him was a guy called Chao Buheng, who was also a Channel Opening Stage cultivator. Chao Buheng was at the Great Circle of the Channel Opening Stage Level 9 and was only one step away from advancing into the Spirit Building Stage. Even though everyone would be staying at the outer sect mountain, there were separations even within the mountain itself. Mo Wuji, Chao Buheng and the 17 others who did not make it to the 10th step were naturally looked down on by the rest who made it. They were made to queue at the back even for their registration to check in to their residence. Zhen Shaoru climbed to the 13th step and therefore, was able to stay at the District B. It would simply be impossible to expect Zhen Shaoru to comfort Mo Wuji because of Zhen Shaoru¡¯s huge ego and in fact, Zhen Shaoru could barely wait to brag in front of Mo Wuji. When it was time to check in, Zhen Shaoru hurried to the front impatiently to get it over and done with. ¡­ The outer sect mountain was located nearest to the border of the Heaven Seeking Palace of which the spiritual energy in the surrounding was the thinnest and weakest. The good thing was that this mountain was very near to the Heaven Seeking City and it would be very convenient for cultivators who wished to leave the Heaven Seeking Palace for training. After completing the registration, Mo Wuji headed over to the mountain to realise that the 200 over disciples were not the only ones staying there. There were already at least over a 1000 cultivators residing there. Most of the disciples were allocated to stay in the District A and B of the outer sect mountain. While there were only a few people staying in District C, District D with the thinnest spiritual energy had almost no one staying in it. District D was already broad and spacious to begin with, so even though Mo Wuji arrived last, he could still freely pick his own residence. Mo Wuji chose a residence with a rather remote courtyard and there was even a pond outside the courtyard. Despite the weaker spiritual energy around this region, the living conditions here could be considered to be wonderful and ideal for Mo Wuji. The reason for choosing a residence with a pond was because Fei Bingzhu was still nurturing two Treasured Blood Lotus. He could probably throw them in there to see if the conditions were suitable for the nurturing of these lotuses. Mo Wuji loved this place that many people despised. Even though the level of spiritual energy cannot be compared with other places, the spiritual energy here could be considered to be a heaven for cultivation when compared to his previous residence at the Lotus Sword mountain. Even the district where nobody wished to stay because of its weak spiritual energy would be considered as a wonderland by an Earth grade sect like the Formless Blade Sect. This proved how great the Heaven Seeking Palace truly was. The total number of people residing in District D did not exceed 30 and the number could be further reduced after a period of time. Because of this, everyone in District D was able to choose their own turf. After choosing his turf, Mo Wuji placed a simple trigger array in front of his residence. Given his capabilities now, he was only able to design a simple trigger array which was neither capable of defending, attacking nor holding intruders captive. It could only notify Mo Wuji the moment someone entered. After fixing up his residence, Mo Wuji was in no hurry to concoct his channel opening solution. Despite having all the ingredients readied, he still needed some orange firestone. Whether it was the 100,000 Years Pine Pulse or any Tier 4 spiritual herbs like the Lingzhi and Sky Ginseng, Mo Wuji regarded them as extremely rare herbs. Before concocting the pills, he needed to purify and extract the medicinal essences of the herbs. Other than these, there was an even more important spiritual ingredient called the Purple Lotus Strip. Mo Wuji might still be able to purify the other spiritual ingredients with the normal red firestone. However, he had zero confidence in purifying the Purple Lotus Strip with a simple red firestone. Furthermore, Mo Wuji decided to pay the Heaven Seeking City a visit as he was still intending to open a pill shop there. ¡­ As he headed towards the Heaven Seeking City, Mo Wuji remembered visiting a cultivation city before. In fact, it was just a fringe city and nothing more. Chang Luo might hold many cultivators but it definitely could not be considered to be a cultivation city. If the Fringe City made Mo Wuji feel like it was rich in history, then the Heaven Seeking City made Mo Wuji feel like it was a paradise. Mo Wuji believed that this was probably due to the influence of the Heaven Seeking Palace. If there was still a true Heavenly Sect in the entire Lost Continent, then it had to be the Heaven Seeking Palace. Even though he was only an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace staying in the neglected District D of the outer sect mountain, many genius disciples of the other sects were still very envious of Mo Wuji¡¯s status and position. After entering the Heaven Seeking City, Mo Wuji was shocked at the hustle and bustle of this city. He was very confident that there was at most only one out of 10,000 people here who would actually be a Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s disciple because there was really far too many people here. Every broad street was extended out like arrows without obstruction. People continuosly come and go, crowding out every single shop out there. After seeing only a few shops, Mo Wuji knew how difficult it would be to open a new shop here. Without considering the other factors, how much would a shop cost after borrowing the bustle that the Heaven Seeking City naturally provides? It was likely that Zhen Shaoke had not inquire about the cost of setting up a shop here too. Mo Wuji shooked his head helplessly as he felt that it would be better to just bring Fei Bingzhu and Co. to stay with him in District D. Luo Hai Merchant House. The moment Mo Wuji saw this name, he entered without any shred of hesitation. He did not expect that Luo Hai Merchant House was actually capable enough to open a branch here in the Heaven Seeking City. Furthermore, the Luo Hai Merchant House here in the Heaven Seeking Palace did not look any smaller than the one in Chang Luo. Mo Wuji was definitely not unfamiliar with the Luo Hai Merchant House. He bought both hisand drug refining equipments from the Luo Hai Merchant House. Even up till today, he still had the Luo Hai Merchant House¡¯s orange contribution card. "Friend, may I know what are you looking for?" The moment Mo Wuji stepped into Luo Hai Merchant House, a friendly doorman came forward to welcome him. Even though Mo Wuji did not like such an approach to welcome customers, he understood the rationale for doing so because he could tell how competitive every shop in the Heaven Seeking City was due to the large crowd. "I wish to take a look at some spiritual herbs¡¯ introduction books and I would like to purchase some firestones as well," Mo Wuji answered. "Could this senior be a pill refiner?" The doorman suddenly felt the urge to show some respect as he changed his tone and the way he addressed Mo Wuji, "Senior, please follow me." Mo Wuji followed the doorman up to the third level. The moment he saw all sorts of different coloured firestones arranged in one line, it was certainly an eye-opener for him. Mo Wuji was not interested in the red firestone as he already had a few of them with him. As he took a glance at the price of the orange firestone, he realised that a orange firestone would cost him 1,000 Xuan grade spirit stones. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he was not too stressed out over the pricing of the orange firestone. He had close to 800,000 Earth grade spirit stones with him. Mo Wuji landed his sight on the yellow firestone and saw that each cost 100,000 Xuan grade spirit stones which was 100 times the price of an orange firestone. Fortunately, he was still able to afford it. Following which, Mo Wuji saw the green firestone which cost 150,000... Looking at the price, Mo Wuji still felt relieved. The price of 150,000 Xuan grade spirit stones was still not enough to stress him out and it seemed like he could afford to buy the green firestones... In the next moment, Mo Wuji was dumbfounded as he realised that it was not 150,000 Xuan grade spirit stones but 150,000 Earth grade spirit stones. If he was to use the few spirit stones he had to buy the green firestone, he would not have much spirit stones left with him. There was even a blue firestone behind the green firestone as Mo Wuji shook his head without having the mood to even check out the price. "Senior, have you chosen your firestones?" Seeing how Mo Wuji¡¯s sight left the firestone, the doorman at the side hurried to ask. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Give me 10 orange and three yellow firestones. Afterwards, do bring me to look at the book collection for spiritual herbs." "Great!" The doorman answered enthusiastically as guessed that only a pill refiner would purchase as many as Mo Wuji did. One must know that there were not a lot of pill refiners who would purchase firestones and even if they did, they would only purchase one or two at a time. Majority of the pill refiners would choose the earth fire to concoct pills and a good Earth Fire would be of better quality than a green firestone. Also, as compared to the price of a green firestone, the Earth Fire would be like free. The doorman brought Mo Wuji to level 4 as level 4 contained all sorts of book collections including martial techniques, magic skills, travel notes, cultivation pointers... As long as you want it, you can get it here. "Get me a book which has the most complete introduction of spiritual herbs," Mo Wuji swept across a stack of collection before giving up the idea of finding for it himself. The doorman struck his own chest as he said, "Senior, do not worry. I am the most familiar with pill manuals here and I will help you find the book which Senior Mo Xue wrote called the ¡­" Why did she has the same surname? Mo Wuji casually asked, "Who is this Senior Mo Xue? Why have I not heard of her before?" This time round it was the doorman¡¯s turn to be shocked as he did not expect Mo Wuji to not heard of Mo Xue before. He took a while before responding, "Senior Mo Xue was the most benevolent rogue pill refiner of the Lost Continent. She opened up countless of Pill Dao precedents and was a Heavenly Pill Refiner about a thousand years ago. After she became a Heavenly Pill Refiner, she wrote a book called thebefore leaving the Lost Continent in search for a higher Pill Dao. There were countless of pill refiners and some Heavenly Pill Refiners back in the days of the Lost Continent but Senior Mo Xue was the only one to have left a legacy behind. Afterwards, many sects insisted that thewas a must to learn for Pill Dao and was the most fundamental book of many pill refiners." At this moment, the doorman started to suspect if Mo Wuji was actually a pill refiner because he initially thought that Mo Wuji wanted to buy some professional book about spiritual wills. He definitely did not expect Mo Wuji to be looking for a complete introduction on spiritual herbs and the most ridiculous part was that Mo Wuji did not even know who senior Mo Xue was. "I want this Mo Xue¡¯stogether with the firestones, how much would it be?" Mo Wuji immediately made up his mind as a work of a Heavenly Pill Refiner must be really incredible. No matter how suspicious he was, the doorman was very satisfied with Mo Wuji as a customer, "Senior, it would be a total of 301,100 Earth grade spirit stones." After paying the spirit stones with his spirit stones card, Mo Wuji no longer had any mood to walk around the Heaven Seeking City, and he used his fastest speed to return to his residence. Chapter 157: Difficulties At Every Corner Chapter 157: Difficulties At Every Corner Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Back at his house, Mo Wuji flipped open theimmediately. When he spent 100 earth grade spirit stones to purchase this book, he felt that it was a little expensive. However, once he opened the book, he knew that the price of 100 earth spirit stones was not a high one at all. This was because thewas already disseminated to the masses, otherwise even with a million earth spirit stones it would be difficult to buy this book. The whole book was almost 10 centimetres thick, each piece of paper as thin as an insect¡¯s wing. But this was not what shocked Mo Wuji the most; the most shocking thing was that there was a picture of every spiritual herb mentioned, and even the living conditions and main uses of each spiritual herb were detailed down clearly. The only flaw with the book was the lack of pill formulas and any analysis of possible combinations of spiritual herbs. For these aspects, the wordless pill manual was much more superior, just that it only detailed how to refine pills, combinations of spiritual herbs, and some pill formulas. As for introductions to spiritual herbs, it was not as in depth as this book. Thewas definitely a must have spiritual herb encyclopedia for all pill refiners. Only after reading two pages, Mo Wuji already had a newfound respect for Mo Xue. For a pill refiner to spend the time and leave behind such a momentous work, it was a highly revered act. Moreover, this pill refiner was very generous, with nearly no information being held back. Obtaining this book was as good as obtaining the knowledge a Heavenly Pill Refiner had about spiritual herbs. It was Mo Wuji¡¯s greatest desire to study the book now, but the more pressing issue on hand was opening his meridians. Hence he quickly flipped through the pages to search for what exactly the purple lotus, that he had dug up, was. A mere ten over minutes later, his hand stopped flipping the pages. The picture of a beautiful light red lotus flower greeted him, identical to the one he had harvested. He found the page at last. His eyes landed on the uses section of the spiritual herb instantly, "Purple Jade Toad Lotus, Tier 7 spiritual herb¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart almost jumped out of his chest upon seeing the term Tier 7 spiritual herb. Although he was able to obtain some Tier 6 spiritual herbs, and Tier 7 spiritual herbs were only a tier away from Tier 6 spiritual herbs, but in reality there existed a vast gap between the two. Even 10,000 stalks of Tier 6 spiritual herbs might not be enough to trade for a proper Tier 7 spiritual herb. An example of a Tier 7 spiritual herb would be the Flower of the True Gods. Who didn¡¯t know how valuable it was? It was a treasure that gave Earth Realm Nihility God Stage cultivators a chance to step into the Heavenly Realm Real God Stage. Out of all the people that entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain, most of them were gunning for the flower. "...The Purple Jade Toad Lotus¡¯ flower is light red in colour, its stem gives off a slight fragrance which makes people feel mentally refreshed and more energetic. The Lotus is purple, lotus strips green, and its most valuable parts are the lotus flower and lotus strips. The greatest effect of this spiritual herb is that it can open and repair spirit channels, and is one of the best spiritual herbs for targeting spirit channels¡­" His hands slowly curled into a fist. It turned out that his guess was spot on; the Purple Jade Toad Lotus was the best spiritual herb for meridians. After flipping through this page on Purple Jade Toad Lotus, he carried on looking, this time spending less time than he did previously, before stopping at the page with a gem-like red crystal on it. This was exactly the object that he obtained from the bottom of the ice mountain, and the only thing he knew was that it had some relationship with firestones. Initially he was still a little afraid that thewould not have information on this type of crystal, but unexpectedly, he found it, and not only that, its write up was very detailed too. "Fire Jade, the purest of all fire affinity spiritual objects, can be found at the mouth of volcanos or within earth fires. It appears transparent and shiny, with a pure red colour. There are many grades of Fire Jade, and high grade Fire Jade can be used to cultivate firestones¡­" So what he had was actually a piece of Fire Jade, and at the same time the mystery behind why where were so many firestones surrounding the Fire Jade was solved. Those were the firestones that it cultivated. Since this piece could perform such an act, its grade must be quite high. "...Normally Fire Jades that can cultivate firestones or are gold in colour, are Tier 7 and above. This sort of spiritual objects are very rare, and can help a cultivator enhance his potential¡­" Another Tier 7 spiritual object. Closing the , Mo Wuji tried to force himself to calm down, before taking out a pill furnace, drug refining equipment , and ingredients for the new channel opening solution. With his current level in Pill Dao, purifying the rest of the ingredients shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Only for the Purple Jade Toad Lotus and Fire Jade was he slightly worried. According to Mo Xue¡¯s write up, the piece of Fire Jade in his possession was a Tier 7 spiritual object. At his current level of cultivation, whether he could purify a Tier 7 spiritual ingredient was the most crucial part. Regardless of the result, he had to try it out. Mo Wuji started with purifying the Purple Jade Toad Lotus strips, and as a precaution, this time he used a yellow firestone. A blazing flame rose up, following which the pill furnace was cleaned multiple times, before he carefully placed a piece of green Purple Jade Toad Lotus strip inside. The green lotus strip melted easily, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief, but as his pill techniques landed on the newly melted green lotus strip, wild spiritual energy was unleashed and could not be put under control. Pill technique after pill technique was throws out fervently by Mo Wuji, as both his hands moved at a speed that even he could not follow anymore, in an attempt to suppress the wild spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy started to break down, and within half an incense¡¯s time, a poof rang out from the furnace, followed by a faint burnt smell. Mo Wuji fell to the ground, pale as a sheet. With the fast pace of using pill techniques, it had drained his elemental energy and spiritual will greatly. Even though it only lasted for half an incense¡¯s time, his hands were already trembling uncontrollably. After a good half day¡¯s rest, only did Mo Wuji begin to clean up the pill furnace begrudgingly. One piece of precious Purple Jade Toad Lotus had been ruined, but that was secondary to the fact that he could not make a new batch of channel opening solution. No way, not being able to produce channel opening solution meant that he could not cultivate further. If he could not cultivate, then would he just wait for death there? Yan¡¯Er had Granny Linglong to take after her, and did not need him to worry about her anymore, but he could not just die here. Why did he choose District D which had sparse spiritual energy? Wasn¡¯t it to open new meridians? WIthin the shortest amount of time, Mo Wuji was determined to succeed. He would make another trip to Heaven Seeking City, in order to buy a green firestone. Although a yellow firestone could melt the Purple Jade Toad Lotus strip, but to use it to purify Tier 7 spiritual ingredients was still a little inadequate. The flame¡¯s grade was too low, and as a result, it did not allow him to control the explosion of spiritual energy from the Purple Jade Toad Lotus. If it were something else, perhaps he would have gone to ask for Granny Linglong¡¯s help in purifying. However, both the Purple Jade Toad Lotus and Fire Jade were too sensitive, and once they were purified, he had to refine the solution immediately, which definitely could not be done by someone else other than himself. As for the sect¡¯s pill refining rooms, even if he could borrow one as an outer disciple, he wouldn¡¯t dare to. There would be expert pill refiners all around there, and once the fragrance of his Purple Jade Toad Lotus leaked out, they would immediately notice that he had Tier 7 spiritual herbs. ¡­ "Elder!" Seeing Mo Wuji visit Luo Hai Merchant House again after such a short period of time, the shop assistant was elated, hence frantically going forward to greet Mo Wuji. In his heart, a rich king was before him. Wouldn¡¯t one be considered to be rich if he could purchase yellow firestones at a whim? Mo Wuji nodded in response, but as he was about to speak, a rather familiar figure appeared. Dong Lun? He almost exclaimed. However, Mo Wuji soon noticed that this man had some differences from Dong Lun. His eyes were more shady, and he was also a little taller than Dong Lun. From his aura, Mo Wuji could see that this guy was much stronger than himself. Quickly retracting his gaze, Mo Wuji acted as though nothing happened and carried on asking the shop assistant, "I want to buy a green firestone¡­" Once these words landed on the shop assistant¡¯s ears, he became so excited until he almost bit his own tongue. A green firestone cost 150,000 Earth grade spirit stones, and if he could sell one, he would at least earn over a hundred Earth grade spirit stones. "Yes, yes, please follow me." The shop assistant even became slightly incoherent, then guiding Mo Wuji to the third floor. "Oh right, there was a man on the first floor with a vicious gaze, who is that?" Mo Wuji casually asked. The shop assistant¡¯s mind was already preoccupied with the 150,000 Earth grade spirit stones worth of business he was about to get, so he did not really take note of what Mo Wuji was saying, and just replied automatically, "That guy¡¯s name is Dong Mingzi. He¡¯s an expert, and since his arrival in Heaven Seeking Palace, it seems like he¡¯s been trying to buy a few things. He¡¯s made a few rounds at the various shops already. Even for our shop, he¡¯s been here a few times already, just that his requests were too weird, hence he probably hasn¡¯t obtained them yet." So that man indeed had the surname Dong, Mo Wuji was sure that this guy had some relationship with Dong Lun. Many of Dong Lun¡¯s things got blasted to bits by the Ice Burst Talisman. Luckily he did not touch any of Dong Lun¡¯s things, much less even taking any out to sell. This guy was definitely looking for the person that killed Dong Lun as he asked around. Deep inside, Mo Wuji laughed coldly. Killing Mo Wuji was just the start. Once he grew in strength, he would strut into Supreme Sword City and wipe out the whole Dong Clan. ¡­ This encounter of Ding Mingzi made Mo Wuji even more desperate to raise his cultivation level. As soon as he completed the purchase of the green firestone, he sprinted back to the outer sect peak. Without strength, it would be a joke to desire revenge at Supreme Sword City. As a mortal without spiritual roots, the only reason he could cultivate was that he had opened a completely separate path for cultivation. Other people opened spirit channels while he opened meridians. Hence in order for him to climb to greater heights in cultivation, he would have to open even more meridians. Back at his house, Mo Wuji brought himself back to tip top condition, then took out a bottle of Earthly Soul Protecting Pill. His current level of cultivation was definitely insufficient to purify the Tier 7 Purple Jade Toad Lotus and Fire Jade. Thankfully he had his own strengths, and while his strength was not up to standard, he possessed spiritual will of a decent level. This was the spiritual will that others would only start cultivating at the Nihility God Stage. On the Lost Continent, how many people could condense their spiritual will at the Channel Opening Stage like him? However, his cultivation was after all much too low, and in the purifying process his spiritual will might not hold out all the way. This was not an issue though, as he had the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill, which was made specially for recovering spiritual will. In order to make the new channel opening solution, Mo Wuji decided to put everything on the line. Chapter 158: Difficult Success Chapter 158: Difficult Success Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Once the preparations were done, Mo Wuji ignited the green firestone. A green flame instantly engulfed the entire bottom of the furnace. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will fell on the pale green flame and the frightening temperature gave him a trembling sensation. Mo Wuji started to focus as he carefully inserted the blue-ish Purple Jade Toad Lotus. The temperature of the pill furnace immediately melted the Purple Jade Toad Lotus into its medicinal essences. Afterwhich, Mo Wuji¡¯s pill techniques were immediately in place to start purifying the essences. Even from the start, Mo Wuji knew he had a chance of success. The green firestone was great not only because of its high temperature but more because of the purity of its flame and its stability. This made it much easier for him to purify the medicinal essences. The first time Mo Wuji tried to purify the Purple Jade Toad Lotus, he lost control of his pill techniques. Because of that, he was unable to control the the spiritual energy of the essences resulting in multiple impurities and hence, the collapse of the purification. This time, he managed to keep in under control despite using a lot of energy. After an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji swallowed an Earthly Soul Protecting Pill before he continued to purify the Purple Jade Toad Lotus. After one hour, even with the aid of the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill, Mo Wuji still felt completely exhausted but he finally completed his purification of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus. He used the extraction technique to retrieve the medicinal essences of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus from the pill furnace. Mo Wuji could no longer care about pill poisoning as he desperately swallowed a handful of different healing pills at once so that he could recover both his spiritual will and elemental energy in the shortest possible time. He then immediately sent the one tenth of a Fire Jade which he cut earlier into the pill furnace. It was not that he did not wish to rest longer, but once the green firestone had been ignited, it was almost impossible to put the flame out. Mo Wuji simply could not bear to waste the firestone worth 150,000 Earth grade spirit stones just like that. Fortunately, the green firestone had a high enough intensity to last for a long duration. Mo Wuji constantly took short breaks in between his concoction to replenish his energy and just like that, the flame finally died down after more than six hours. For Mo Wuji to continuously overexert his spiritual will and elemental energy, he had reached his limit even though it was not till the extent of complete exhaustion. In slightly over six hours, Mo Wuji managed to purify and extract three out of the ten cut pieces of Fire Jade and three Purple Jade Toad Lotus. This resulted in him using up almost all of his healing pills, and causing damage to his elemental energy. His whole face turned pale and he was feeling not too different from when he first started to cultivate the Seven Style Lightning Sky. As much as Mo Wuji really wanted to continue purifying the other herbs, his body was simply too worn out. The moment he transferred the extracted medicinal essences into a bottle, he immediately fell asleep on the floor. Ever since he had his spiritual will, Mo Wuji had never consumed so much of his spiritual will before. It was the first time he over consumed his elemental energy too. This time round, he was even sacrificing his health just to purify two Tier 7 spiritual herbs. As he opened his eyes after sleeping for one day and one night, his body still felt feeble. Mo Wuji resisted the temptation to rest longer as he got up to start purifying the Lingzhi, Sky Ginseng, Pine Pulse and the other Tier 4 spiritual herbs. For a Tier 4 Pill Refiner like himself, purifying a Tier 4 spiritual herb was considered resting. After just two hours, Mo Wuji completed the purification and extraction of all the Tier 4 spiritual herbs before pouring the medicinal essences into a jade vase. As he was cleaning the pill furnace, Mo Wuji noticed a small crack on his pill furnace. The pill furnace was a gift from Zhen Shaoke and it could be considered to be a low grade spiritual item. He did not expect himself to damage it just by purifying the herbs. Mo Wuji did not mind the fact that the pill furnace was damaged. After keeping the damaged pill furnace, he cleaned up once again before taking out his drug refining equipments. Nothing was more important than successfully concocting the drug. It would be decided at this stage if this would be a success or a failure. If he failed, it was likely that he would never be able to achieve much in this life. His channel opening solution had helped him advance to where he was today, but there was also a limit to how much it could help him. As compared to concocting pills, Mo Wuji was more familiar with concocting drugs. As he finished purifying over 10 normal herbs, he started to add in the spiritual herb essences. Even though Mo Wuji could do these steps with his eyes closed, he opened his eyes as wide as he could to make sure that he would not miss a step. After a full four hours, the solution was successfully concocted as they flowed into a small bottle that Mo Wuji pre-prepared earlier. The size of each bottle was probably slightly smaller than an adult¡¯s pinky. This time round, Mo Wuji successfully concocted 12 bottles of channel opening solution. As soon as the 12 bottles were out, Mo Wuji was feeling so exhilarated as he immediately grabbed one bottle to pour into his mouth. A familiar hotness which Mo Wuji had not felt for a long time almost burnt his throat. However, Mo Wuji did not feel much from such a piercing pain, instead, there was almost tears of happiness coming out from his eyes. It was yet another success as his judgement was proved right again. As his cultivation level increased, there would be an increasing number of opened meridians in his body and he would naturally expect more from the channel opening solution. His channel opening solution this time round was so much better than the previous two times. One could even say that this channel opening solution was the qualitative change for Mo Wuji. The line of fire directly raged opened a new meridian in his body. Mo Wuji clenched his fist because he desperately needed a few lightning bolts to open this meridian fully. ... This was the seventh day since Mo Wuji entered the Heaven Seeking Palace and it was a while since he left his house too. Within seven days, he finished all the ingredients that he had initially and managed to concoct a total of 36 bottles of the channel opening solution. "Pill Master Mo, are you okay¡­" The moment Mo Wuji left his courtyard, an average built simple and honest looking teen was standing outside. This young man was looking at Mo Wuji astonishingly as he was evidently worried about him Even though Mo Wuji cleaned up the place, his hair and beard were still not tidied up. "Are you brother Chao?" Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before finally recognising the young man in front of his eyes. It was indeed the brother who was stuck with him on the eighth step back then, Chao Buheng. Mo Wuji knew that Chao Buheng stayed in District D too but he had no idea where exactly was his residence located at. Seeing Mo Wuji recognising him, Chao Buheng grinned as he said, "That¡¯s right, I am indeed Chao Buheng. I¡¯ve noticed that brother Mo had not left your house for a few days and looked really exhausted therefore, I was wondering if anything happened and decided to pay a visit." Mo Wuji felt a little touched as he believed that Chao Buheng would be the only person in the entire Heaven Seeking Palace to remember that Mo Wuji had not left his house for a few days. Chao Buheng¡¯s cultivation level was about the same as Mo Wuji but he was a very honest man who constantly undermined himself in front of others. Even towards Mo Wuji who was at the same step as he was, he addressed Mo Wuji as a senior. "Senior Mo, there will be an elder imparting the Dao techniques at the Technique Hall. If you¡¯re interested, why don¡¯t we head over together?" Chao Buheng asked cautiously. Mo Wuji could tell from the way Chao Buheng asked that this was probably not the first time he came looking for him. "Junior Chao, thank you for your invitation. I wish to visit the Immortal Training Tower first and maybe I will head over to the class afterwards," Mo Wuji¡¯s main priority after concocting 36 bottles of brand new channel opening pills would be to open more meridians instead of listening to some lesson. Chao Buheng hurried to say, "Alright, I shall not disturb Senior Mo then." Finishing his words, Chao Buheng turned and left as if Mo Wuji would become angry if he was to stay any longer. Mo Wuji felt sympathetic for Chao Buheng. For a person who was honest, timid and always feeling inferior to others, it would be difficult to achieve anything much in a place like the Heaven Seeking Palace. Very quickly, Mo Wuji started to self-deprecate for worrying about Chao Buheng as Chao Buheng was probably worried about him too. ¡­ Heaven Seeking Palace Immortal Training Tower. Mo Wuji stood in front of the Immortal Training Tower feeling slightly emotional. Half a year ago when he was at the Fringe City¡¯s Immortal Training Tower opening meridians, he was wondering when he will ever be able to visit a real Immortal Training Tower like the one in the Heaven Seeking Palace. He certainly did not expect himself to be standing in front of the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Immortal Training Tower in less than a year. Compared to the Fringe City¡¯s replica Immortal Training Tower, the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Immortal Training Tower was the true training tower. The square located in front of the Immortal Training Tower was spectacular. The many cultivators here each gave out a stronger aura than the previous ones who came before them. Mo Wuji suspected that he was the one with the lowest cultivation level here. There was a steady stream of cultivators entering to cultivate. Mo Wuji arrived at the receptionist of the Immortal Training Tower, "May I ask how many spirit stones would two hours in the Lighting Tempering Room cost?" "Do you wish to use the sect¡¯s contribution points or spirit stones to pay?" The receptionist was a cute female cultivator with a very sweet and pleasant voice. Mo Wuji only recently entered the sect and even after he entered, he had been fully focused on concocting his channel opening solutions. Where would he have found time to earn contribution points? Now that the receptionist asked, he hurried to answer, "I want to pay using my spirit stones." The female cultivator gave a slight smile, "Then which Lightning Tempering Room do you wish to use? There are the low grade, intermediate grade, high grade and the supreme grade Lightning Tempering Room." Mo Wuji believed that the one he visited at the Fringe City should be a low grade Lightning Tempering Room. Now that both his spiritual will and strength increased tremendously, coupled with the fact that he could even purify a Tier 7 spiritual herb, going to an intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room should not be a problem for him. "I want the intermediate Lightning Tempering Room," Mo Wuji said confidently as he chose the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room. The female cultivator revealed an adorable smile, "Intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room would cost 200 Earth grade spirit stones per two hours¡­" Mo Wuji could not believe what he heard as he asked suspiciously, "So expensive?" Without questioning, Mo Wuji guessed that the second Lightning Tempering Room in the Fringe City should be an intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room. However, the cost there was not even a fraction of the cost here. The female cultivator kept her smile and said patiently, "You could choose to use the sect¡¯s contribution points to book the room. You would only need 20 contribution points to spend two hours in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room. In fact, there was very little people who use spirit stones to rent the room as the majority used their contribution points instead." Earn the contribution points now? Mo Wuji naturally did not want to delay himself from opening more meridians so he took out 2000 Earth grade spirit stones before saying, "I will first book the room for 20 hours¡­" The female cultivator looked suspiciously at Mo Wuji, "Casually booking the room for 20 hours despite knowing that it is not worth it if you pay by spirit stones. You must be a wealthy owner." "May I ask if there are any empty intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room?" Just as the female cultivator said this, a soothing voice sounded beside Mo Wuji. Chapter 159: You Will Definitely Die Chapter 159: You Will Definitely Die Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji subconsciously turned his head, only to be shocked still. Albeit on Earth or in the entire Lost Continent, Mo Wuji had never seen such a beautiful woman. Her completely indifferent expression was unable to conceal her heart pounding facial features and shapely figure. From her two faint, beautiful eyebrows, to her pair of clear eyes, to her jade-like nose, her features were like a perfectly crafted piece of art, with no flaws whatsoever. Her rosy red lips only made her beauty all the more perfect. Mo Wuji looked by the side as light shone onto her, reminding him of the Hayaka Fairy. A person can be so beautiful? "This dao friend, your jade token¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji''s listless expression, the cute girl from the Immortal Training Tower could not help but pull him from his daze. She did not think that Mo Wuji was being disrespectful. After all, she was equally stunned when she first saw senior apprentice sister Shuyin. Being stared at by Mo Wuji caused the female cultivator to frown. Mo Wuji awoke from his daze and smiled at her apologetically. Thereafter, he received the Lightning Tempering Room jade token and left hurriedly with a simple "thanks". He did not have any ideas towards that female cultivator; he was only inwardly shocked at how a woman could grow to be so beautiful. Even in his imaginations, he could never picture such a gorgeous woman. It was like a beautiful, fresh flower, or an enrapturing scenery; after taking a look, your eyes couldn''t help but linger. "Don''t forget that you''re going to the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room C¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji anxiously leaving, the cute attendant could not help but use her unique, soft voice to remind him. As the frowning female cultivator heard that reminder, she could not help but ask, "He''s going to an intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room?" "Yes senior apprentice sister Shuyin," the attendant replied respectfully. Thereafter, she added, "There''s still an intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room. May senior apprentice sister Shuyin please hand over your immortal training token to me." The beautiful woman, Shuyin, retrieved a jade token and handed it over, "I just need four hours." She was still thinking about Mo Wuji, and it wasn''t because of his disrespectful gaze. In reality, among all who first set eyes on her, Mo Wuji could be considered one of the most polite. After being enraptured by her looks, he recovered in the shortest time possible and did not carry on with any disrespectful gestures. The real reason why she was thinking about Mo Wuji was because it was simply unbelievable for Mo Wuji to choose the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room. The spiritual ripples surrounding Mo Wuji was simply non-existent. Clearly, his spiritual roots were of poor quality. Moreover, she could not sense any ripples of elemental energy from him, nor did he have the aura of a cultivator, indicating his low cultivation. With this, she could roughly deduce that Mo Wuji was in the Channel Opening Stage. For a Channel Opening Stage cultivator, going to an elementary grade Lightning Tempering Room was already dangerous. Going to an intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, wasn''t that looking for death? This thought only ran through her mind for a short while before she chucked it to the side. She then took her own jade token and rushed into the Immortal Training Tower. ¡­ The intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room was on the 12th floor of the Immortal Training Tower. When Mo Wuji arrived on the 12th floor, he finally understood the difference between an imitation and the original. The entire 12th floor was like a small-scale square. At the sides of the square, there were over 20 training rooms. Each of the training room were labelled, such as "Intermediate Grade Wind Tempering Room", "Intermediate Grade Ice Tempering Room", etc. However, in this big space, Mo Wuji only saw two to three other people. Mo Wuji soon came to realise that the 12th floor contained the intermediate grade training rooms of the unique elemental attributes - Wind, Lightning and Ice. He very quickly found the room he was allocated to: Lightning Tempering Room C. As Mo Wuji walked to the doors of Lightning Tempering Room C, he found that it was the same as the Lightning Tempering Room back in Fringe City. At the door, there was a groove for him to insert his jade token. Mo Wuji''s hand trembled as he slowly pushed the jade token into the groove; he was still a little agitated in his heart. Even though he was sure that his channel opening solution had worked, before he truly opened a few meridians, everything was uncertain. If he could really open his 73rd meridian, then it would mean that he might very well open more than 100 meridians. In the entire Lost Continent, opening 99 spirit channels would already make you a genius among geniuses, an existence like a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. If he opened 100 meridians, what would that mean? "Wait, are you in the Channel Opening Stage?" An extremely sweet voice called out to him. Mo Wuji turned to see that breathtaking beauty. Even though it was his second time seeing her, his heart still skipped a beat. "Senior apprentice sister? Were you asking me? I am in fact in the Channel Opening Stage." Mo Wuji replied doubtfully. He did not know this beauty. Don''t tell me my moustache is very "man"? And I attracted the attention of this pretty lady? The matchless beauty''s reply shattered his fantasies, "If you''re in the Channel Opening Stage, entering the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room will definitely kill you." With that, the woman couldn''t be bothered to talk any further and placed her jade token into the groove of another room. Mo Wuji noticed, it was the intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room. "Many thanks." Mo Wuji smiled as he inserted his jade token into the door groove. The door to Lightning Tempering Room C slowly opened and Mo Wuji casually walked right in. The woman''s mouth went agape, and then she shook her head. If not for Mo Wuji choosing the Lightning Tempering Room before her, she might have thought that Mo Wuji was simply putting on an act for her. After all, the number of cultivators who put on a front before her were far too many. She had already advised Mo Wuji, but the other party was not willing to heed it. Then there''s nothing else she could do. As the intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room opened, she walked in. ... As Mo Wuji entered the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, he was shocked still by the immense size of the room; it was at least five folds bigger than the one in Fringe City. At the wall, there was a series of buttons instead of a lever. These buttons made it look like a modern control room. Raw Lightning Trial, Sandblast Lightning Trial, Swamp Lightning Trial, Hallucinogenic Lightning Trial... There were various kinds of lightning simulations, and there were also special parameters he could tune, such as the time, the attack sphere, the lightning thickness, etc. Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold air; no wonder why the price was so steep. From the looks of it, the price wasn''t too high, but too low. If this was not for internal use for Heaven Seeking Palace, its price might be 10, or even 100 times higher. Unfortunately, these functions were not of much use to him. Mo Wuji chose the Raw Lightning Trial, and set the time at one hour. After all, he did not come to train using the lightning, but to open his meridians. The reason why he set the timing at one hour was because this was his first time in this intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room; he was worried that the power might be too intense, and he might not be able to bear it. After setting up, Mo Wuji pressed the start button. Large numbers of lightning bolts descended with an intensity multiple times higher than the one back in Fringe City. Even though Mo Wuji was standing at the extreme edge of the room, a few bolts of lightning still struck him. Mo Wuji jumped up in fright. This place was completely different from the one in Fringe City; there was no safe place at all. The moment he initiated the room, lightning bolts started striking everywhere. Moreover, the power of the lightning bolts was much, much, much higher than the one in Fringe City. It looks like this room was meant to force cultivators into desperation. But this was not what he wanted ah¡­ "Ka ka, Kacha¡­" Multiple lightning bolts ripped Mo Wuji''s clothes apart; some of the stronger ones directly sent Mo Wuji flying and crashing against the wall. Fortunately, he still had his Heaven Crow natural silk armour on him. Mo Wuji desperately wanted to press the stop button, but he discovered that there was only a start button; it would only stop when the time ends. At this moment, how could Mo Wuji still care about opening his meridians and treating his injuries? The first thing he did was to place his storage bag into his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour. Physical injuries were not important, but if his storage bag got destroyed, he would be screwed. Over the past seven days, he purified all his spiritual herbs into 36 bottles of channel opening solution. A small piece of fire jade and a strip of Purple Jade Toad Lotus Strip could could get 12 small bottles of channel opening solution; and he had used 3 of each. But his leftover fire jade and Purple Jade Toad Lotus were waiting inside his storage bag, if it gets destroyed, then what fart solution could he concoct? The instant he kept his storage bag, a few thick bolts of lightning landed on him. This time, Mo Wuji did not waste the opportunity and drew the lightning to perforate his new meridian. The lightning raged within his meridian, almost causing Mo Wuji to faint in shock. This time around, he had the best possible channel opening solution, and he had the strongest possible lightning. However, under this thick bolt of lightning, the meridian actually only widened by a bit, and did not have a single sign of breaking through. As more lightning bolts struck him, Mo Wuji tried his best to draw the lightning into his 73rd meridian. A tearing sensation could be felt and his 73rd meridian expanded. However, that was the end to it; it still did not show any signs of complete opening. Mo Wuji retrieved a healing pill and swallowed it, his heart gradually calming down. He was opening his 73rd meridian, not his 7th one. If it was so easy to perforate his 73rd meridian, then wouldn''t it be a piece of cake to be a genius? Bolt after bolt of lightning landed on him. Even with his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour, Mo Wuji''s body was still riddled with wounds. His bones broke and recovered; they recovered and broke. His entire body was drenched in fresh blood, but in the next instant, that fresh blood would be burnt into some maroon liquid. It wasn''t clear exactly how many bolts of lightning had been drawn into Mo Wuji''s meridian but it finally showed signs of opening. With a final strike of a lightning bolt, his 73rd meridian was completely perforated. A sense of clarity rushed into his mind. Even if his ability remained the same, Mo Wuji still felt a huge change. It was also at this same instant that an hour passed. The lightning in the Lightning Tempering Room finally came to a stop. Chapter 160: Cen Shuyin’s Request Chapter 160: Cen Shuyin¡¯s Request Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji clenched his fist as his heavily wounded body fell to the ground. The opening of this meridian brought about a greater change to his body than the 72nd meridian did. However, Mo Wuji was very clear that without opening his 72nd meridian, he would definitely not be able to open his 73rd. After resting for about an hour, Mo Wuji drank yet another bottle of channel opening solution as he set the duration to one hour for the lightning quenching. If not for his inability to withstand the powerful lightning bolts, Mo Wuji would wish to try the high grade Lightning Tempering Room. Even in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, Mo Wuji took about an hour to open up a meridian. If he had chosen the low grade Lightning Tempering Room, it would have been highly unlikely for him to even open one meridian. Even though Mo Wuji was more prepared the second time, he still ended up charred black at the end of the hour. As these lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, other than his front chest and back which were protected by the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour, the other parts of his body was horrifically wounded. If Mo Wuji was not a pill refiner, he would not have lasted an incense worth of time. Other cultivators purchased pills to increase their cultivation level while Mo Wuji concocted pills for recovery. Ever since he started cultivating, he had suffered countless of wounds, with each wound being more severe than the previous one. It was through these severe wounds that he could sublimate himself time after time. Mo Wuji had no power to resist against the lightning bolts hence, he could only forcefully direct the lightning bolts to open his meridians. He lost his ability to block or avoid the incoming lightning bolts. "Plop!" After an hour, Mo Wuji could no longer hold on anymore as he fell to the ground desperately trying to catch his breath. Meridian number 74 had finally been successfully opened. After suffering inhumane torture in this Lighting Tempering Room for two hours, he managed to successfully open two meridians. Despite wishing to continue, Mo Wuji knew very clearly that his body could not take it anymore. If he were to force himself to continue, he might not be able to keep this small life of his. More importantly, he had finished all his healing pills. He needed to purchase a new furnace or make use of the sect¡¯s pill refinement lab to concoct a new batch of healing pills. After resting for yet another hour. Mo Wuji cleaned himself up very quickly and changed into a fresh set of clothes before opening the door of the Lightning Tempering Room. As compared to Mo Wuji¡¯s messy hair and face filled with scars, the woman from next door only looked a little pale. "Are you okay?" The woman stared surprisingly at Mo Wuji after scanning his entire body with her eyes. She did not think that Mo Wuji was sleeping inside for four hours. From his shabby appearance, she could tell that Mo Wuji had been tempering himself with the lightning bolts. As long as one had been to an intermediate Lightning Tempering Room to cultivate before, they would usually stay for minimally half an incense worth of time. The fact that Mo Wuji could come out after half an incense worth of time without sustaining any major injury made her extremely astonished. From what she could recall, there was definitely no Channel Opening Stage cultivator who could survive half an incense worth of time in an intermediate Lightning Tempering Room. One must know that she was at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7 with an ice attribute spiritual root and she could barely hold on for four hours in the Ice Tempering Room. During the four hours, she even had to rest for a full hour. Mo Wuji laughed as he nodded to express his gratitude for the senior¡¯s reminder before preparing to leave level 12. He was too worn out to even say anything. All he wanted to do now was to rush back to rest and then head out to purchase a new pill furnace or visit the sect¡¯s pill refinement lab. How could Mo Wuji looked so shabby if he had any lightning affinity body tempering techniques? However, he dare not admit that he had nothing at all because it would not have been possible for him to stay so long in the Lightning Tempering Room without any body tempering techniques. "Yes," Mo Wuji gave a simple answer before speeding up his steps. "My name is Cen Shuyin, a legacy disciple of the Sword Lake Sect," The woman suddenly reported her name. Mo Wuji looked cautiously at this woman as he wondered why a legacy disciple would be so interested to befriend him. All he did was to stay slightly longer in the Lightning Tempering Room. Unless she saw something special on him? He did heard of Sword Lake Sect before because Zuo Shaoyi was from that sect. "Uh, my name is Mo Wuji, an outer disciple of the outer mountain," Mo Wuji laughed as he answered. When someone took the initiative to introduce herself first, it meant that she was interested to know more about him hence, Mo Wuji would definitely not ignore her as a form of respect. Cen Shuyin was shocked before sizing Mo Wuji up as she simply did not expect Mo Wuji to be an outer disciple. However, she was not surprised to not feel any spiritual aura from Mo Wuji. For a person with poor spiritual roots, it was already very incredible that Mo Wuji could enter the Heaven Seeking Palace. She did not continue questioning about Mo Wuji¡¯s background as she said with a little awkwardness, "That, can you sell me your lightning affinity body tempering technique? Don¡¯t worry, I will offer a good price for you." For a cultivator of poor spiritual roots to be able to stay for such long duration in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, Mo Wuji must have had a very incredible lightning affinity body tempering technique. Cen Shuyin had always longed for a lightning affinity body tempering technique but the pity was that even though there were many of them in the market, the grade of these techniques were too low. "I am really sorry but my technique is not for sale. I will not sell my technique for any amount of money," Mo Wuji said apologetically. It was not that his technique was truly not for sale but Mo Wuji did not have any lightning affinity body tempering techniques to begin with so how could he sell it? If he actually had something like that, he would not mind selling it because once he learnt the technique, why would he not sell it for money? Cen Shuying revealed a face of disappointment because honestly, she had never pleaded anyone for anything. Therefore, this was actually her first time being rejected without any shred of hesitation. The duo walked to the first level of the Immortal Training Tower together and as Mo Wuji was unwilling to sell his lightning affinity body tempering technique, Cen Shuyin had no choice but to give up persuading him and then walked off in a hurry. Many cultivators on the first floor of the tower were so shocked that their eyeballs almost dropped out when they saw Mo Wuji walking shoulder to shoulder beside Cen Shuyin. Who on earth was this shabby looking lad? Why does he deserve to walk beside Cen Shuyin? Even though nobody stopped Mo Wuji in his tracks to question him, a lot of people took notice of him. They were all curious to know who on earth was Mo Wuji. He did not bother about the glares of others as he immediately returned to his residence to start cultivating again. Given his current condition, even if his cultivation level could not be further improved, he could at least speed up his own recovery. Two days later, Mo Wuji left his residence heading towards the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Pill Refinement Lab. The Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Pill Refinement Lab was divided into three different grades: Low, intermediate and high grade pill refinement labs. Because of the high cost of the intermediate grade pill refinement lab coupled with the fact that he did not have any contribution points, Mo Wuji chose the low grade pill refinement lab. He turned all the spiritual herbs he had left into pills and even ended up concocting nine bottles of Tier 4 healing pills. The reason why he concocted so many healing pills was so that he could continue opening more meridians in the future. He only dared to cultivate in the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room because he knew that he would survive with these healing pills. After leaving the pill refinement room, Mo Wuji did not even return to the outer mountain but headed straight to the Immortal Training Tower. Mo Wuji still had 16 hours of training time in his jade token but to prevent any hassle in the future, he handed over 8,000 Earth grade spirit stones to extend his duration by another 80 hours to the dumbfounded female receptionist. With a bunch of Tier 3 and 4 healing pills, Mo Wuji was confident that he would not need to waste his time by going back to concoct more pills for another two days every time he opened one or two meridians. After arriving at the Immortal Training Tower level 12, Mo Wuji realised that there were more people here today than the previous days. Fortunately, nobody was occupying his Lightning Tempering Room C. Mo Wuji inserted his jade token before entering his Lightning Tempering Room once again. Shortly after Mo Wuji entered his Lightning Tempering Room, Cen Shuyin reached level 12. She subconsciously noticed that the Lightning Tempering Room C which had been vacant for a few days straight had a jade token on it. She thought to herself that maybe the outer disciple was back here to cultivate. When Mo Wuji arrived on level 12, all the other cultivators continued doing whatever they were doing. However, when Cen Shuyin arrived, the whole level 12 quietened down almost instantaneously. The pity was that Cen Shuyin did not stay for long as she entered her intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room very swiftly. ... Having been here once, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to remove his shirt and placed them inside the storage bag. He then kept the storage bag into his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour before setting the timer to one hour and drinking a bottle of his channel opening solution simultaneously. The newly improved channel opening solution was very effective unlike the first few solution he concocted where he had to drink a few bottles to open one meridian. For a solution where fire jade and Purple Jade Toad Lotus were added, he could open one new meridian with every bottle drank. After pressing the ¡®Start Tempering¡¯¡¯ button, bolts of lightning appeared. Mo Wuji was simultaneously trying to block himself from getting wounded any further as well as directing the lightning bolts to open his 75th meridian. The Lightning Tempering Room stopped exactly after an hour and Mo Wuji opened exactly one meridian in the same hour. Mo Wuji set his rest duration to be half an hour and exactly half an hour later, he continued working on his 76th meridian. ... Four hours passed and as Cen Shuyin opened the door of the Ice Tempering Room, she was surprised to see the door of the Lightning Tempering Room C still shut. Cen Shuyin slowed down on purpose as she even tidied up her own boots before leaving. However, even when she needed to leave level 12, the Lightning Tempering Room C¡¯s door was still shut. "Junior apprentice sister Shuyin?" As she reached level one, a handsome cultivator shouted out for Cen Shuyin enthusiastically as he saw her. Normally, Cen Shuyin would give a quick greeting before leaving immediately. However, Cen Shuyin stopped in her tracks today and even continued conversing with this cultivator. This handsome cultivator was so excited his heart started to beat very quickly as Cen Shuyin actually took notice of him today. This made him continue going on about his cultivation result without any respite. He was extremely pleased as he could feel the envious eyes all around him. Cen Shuyin did not stop to wait for Mo Wuji but to see how long Mo Wuji could actually last for. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s second visit here so if he could last longer than the first time, the only possible reason would be that he truly had an incredible lightning affinity body tempering technique. Chapter 161: Ushering In An Era Chapter 161: Ushering In An Era Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Even though he prepared large sums of healing pills, the wounds on Mo Wuji''s body only increased. At the same time, his number of open meridians increased one by one. 78th... At the instant his 78th meridian opened, multiple lightning bolts landed on him. In his anxiety, Mo Wuji gave up on his Immortal Mortal Technique''s circulation technique and tried the Seven Styles Lightning Sky. After opening a meridian, he would rest for half an hour. But with so many lightning bolts striking him, wouldn''t there be more wounds upon his wounds? The Immortal Mortal Technique could help him guide the lightning to strike his meridians, but it was unable to protect him from the lightning, nor could it lessen his injuries. Utilising the Seven Styles Lightning Sky was simply an act of desperation. "Kakaka¡­" Numbers of lightning bolts descended on Mo Wuji''s body. To his pleasant surprise, these lightning bolts did not cause much damage. The lightning had all been neutralised and absorbed by the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style. An hour was up. The Lightning Tempering Room went silent as no more lightning was generated. Mo Wuji did not immediately rest as he did previously. Instead, he stared at his own palms in wonder. He unknowingly discovered that the Seven Styles Lightning Sky could absorb the lightning essence from lightning bolts; this was completely different from guiding the lightning to penetrate his meridians. Guiding the lightning to open his meridians was using the strength of the lightning to break apart the clogs within the meridian. But what he just did was absorbing the lightning essence from the lightning bolt. All these lightning essence was integrated into his Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style: Lightning Flash. Mo Wuji actively formed a few hand seals and lifted his hand. A few thick bolts of lightning emerged and tore the air apart, its destructive power was ostensibly much higher than before. Mo Wuji''s heart started pounding faster. He thought that with the rise in his cultivation level, his Lightning Flash would get stronger too. From the looks of it, the Seven Styles Lightning Sky could be cultivated too. Like how typical cultivators absorbed spiritual energy, the Seven Styles Lightning Sky absorbed lightning essence. "Hahaha¡­" As he thought of this, Mo Wuji could not help but laugh out loud. How could he not be happy? Previously, he had to use an hour to open a meridian, then rest for half a day, and at the same time, waste countless pills and suffer torturous pain Now, he just needed to circulate according to his Immortal Mortal Technique to guide the lightning, and circulate the Seven Styles Lightning Sky at the same time to absorb the excess lightning, increasing his Lightning Flash''s destructive power. With this method, he would not even need to rest and could endlessly open his meridians. Mo Wuji hastily swallowed two healings pills. After resting for a few minutes, he eagerly started another hour of lightning. He wanted to try whether his method would truly work or not. Downing a channel opening solution, he started. Thunder clouds covered the ceiling and lightning bolts started descending. Mo Wuji maintained a calm state of mind, using his spiritual will, he controlled a portion of the lightning bolts onto himself, and used the Immortal Mortal Technique to circulate the lightning to strike his clogged meridians. At the same time, he used the Lightning Flash circulation technique to absorb the excess lightning which landed on him. In just an incense¡¯s time, his 79th meridian was fully perforated. At the same time, two to three bolts of lightning landed on his body. These excess bolts were completely absorbed by his Seven Styles Lightning Sky, and were converted into a power source for his Lightning Flash. Another hour passed. In this hour, he had already opened his 80th meridian. Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly as he strongly celebrated in his heart. Not only did he find a way to prevent injuries, he even found a way to make his Lightning Flash more powerful. ¡­ She had waited in the tower hall for a whole hour but Mo Wuji did not show any signs of emerging. Not only wasn¡¯t Cen Shuyin not disappointed, she was more eager to obtain Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning affinity body tempering technique. She apologetically bid farewell to that unceasingly talkative heroic-looking cultivator before turning and leaving the Immortal Training Tower. As long as Mo Wuji was in the Heaven Seeking Palace, she would not give up on that lightning quenching technique. ¡­ 95th meridian, 96th meridian¡­ Ever since he knew the use of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, Mo Wuji did not rest and continuously opened his meridians. Each time a meridian opened, his entire body would feel more refreshed. At this moment, Mo Wuji had completely forgotten that he was opening his 97th meridian. One must know that in the entire Lost Continent, a cultivator with 97 spirit channels were as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. "Ka!" In another incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji opened his 97th meridian. Downing a bottle of channel opening solution, Mo Wuji guided a lightning bolt into his 98th meridian. By this time, except for the lightning which were drawn into his meridians, the rest which landed on his body would be completely absorbed to cultivate his Seven Styles Lightning Sky. Without any obstacles, his 98th meridian opened. My 99th meridian... By this time, Mo Wuji finally recalled Shen Lian¡¯s words: Only an infinitesimal number of geniuses actually open 99 spirit channels. As for those with 100 spirit channels, they were peerless, heaven defying geniuses, and most likely had immortal roots instead of spiritual roots. And now, he was going to join their ranks and open his 99th meridian. Even though meridians and spirit channels weren¡¯t the same, in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, they were the same. After all, his cultivation potential had never lost to those cultivators with spirit channels. His only weakness was his lack of spiritual roots, as a result, his body did not give off any spiritual ripples. But to Mo Wuji, it did not count for nuts. If he was a mortal than so be it. As long as he could cultivate, so what if he was a mortal? Cultivators could charge towards immortality as they set off on this cultivation path. But as a mortal, he could do the same. Others had to depend on countless years of legacies and knowledge of cultivation techniques and spirit opening measures. On the other hand, he depended on himself and found ways to open his meridians. Who said that meridians were necessarily weaker than spirit channels? If he advertised his cultivation technique, then you could say that Mo Wuji was a pioneer, a pioneer in this era where mortals could cultivate. "Bang bang bang¡­ Kakaka¡­" Ten bolts of lightning landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body. This parameter was specifically set by Mo Wuji. Previously, at most four to five lightning bolts would land on him. With both his Immortal Mortal Technique and his Seven Styles Lightning Sky, four to five bolts were far from enough. Thus, he directly adjusted the lightning intensity. A portion of these lightning were guided by his Immortal Mortal Technique into his 99th meridian, while the other portion were absorbed with his Seven Styles Lightning Sky. With such an intense strike, even Mo Wuji could feel his 99th meridian tearing open. Another ten bolts of lightning descended; Mo Wuji did not rest and guided the lightning to strike his meridian. By the fourth cycle, Mo Wuji¡¯s 99th meridian was completely perforated. An intense desire to fly clouded his mind; his entire body felt light and relaxed. Mo Wuji could not help but roar out loud, expelling the dirty and noxious air from his body. Seemingly feeling Mo Wuji¡¯s excitement, the Lightning Tempering Room stopped. Mo Wuji¡¯s ten hours were up. Mo Wuji stood unmoving in the center of the room; his fists were still clenched, and his eyes were filled with confidence and expectation. After a while, Mo Wuji sat down. He did not continue to set a time for the Lightning Tempering Room, but retrieved a pile of Earth grade spirit stones and started cultivating. At this moment, Mo Wuji had a premonition that he was going to break into a new stage. The spiritual energy within the spirit stones was like a whirlpool as it was madly absorbed by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s Channel Opening Stage Level 9 cultivation was now being raised rapidly. "Bang!" A flood of spiritual energy came bounding over. It was like the opening of a dam, his elemental energy were released into a more spacious place. Channel Opening Stage Level 10. Mo Wuji opened his eyes; his entire body surprisingly became more mortal-like. Even though Mo Wuji did not have a master guiding him, he was sure that he had advanced into Channel Opening Stage Level 10, and not Spirit Building Stage Level 1. Mo Wuji did not continue cultivating; even if he wanted to, he would not do it here. The prices here were startling; cultivating here for two hours was equivalent to a few hundred Earth grade spirit stones going down the drain. Setting the Lightning Tempering Room for another two hours, Mo Wuji continued to open his meridians. Didn¡¯t Shen Lian say that there was still a 100th spirit channel? Today, he would open his 100th meridian. He drank a bottle of channel opening solution, and the familiar burning sensation comforted him. A new meridian opened, and like before, this meridian only opened to a fixed length before it was clogged. "Bang bang bang¡­" More than ten bolts of lightning descended. This time around, Mo Wuji drew seven to eight of them to strike against his 100th meridian. From his experience, he only needed to do this for another three to four times for his 100th meridian to open completely. A searing pain spread from his 100th meridian. However, there was not even a half bit of reaction from the clog in his meridian. Without a target, the lightning started raging within his meridian. Even though Mo Wuji had experienced various kinds of pain, the combined strike of seven to eight lightning bolts within his meridian was still unbearable. He instantly collapsed onto the ground and started rolling in pain. Luckily, he still had the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, and he immediately utilised it to absorb the lightning. The pale white Mo Wuji stared the descending lightning bolts and his mind went blank. This did not make sense ah. His channel opening solution had worked, but why wasn¡¯t the clogged portion perforated? Was the lightning bolt not strong enough? But if it wasn¡¯t strong enough, the lightning should have struck the clog, instead of raging within his meridian. Multiple bolts of lightning descended on Mo Wuji; the pain pulled him back to reality, and Mo Wuji retrieved and downed another bottle of channel opening solution. Another dumbfounding scene happened. From his experience, before a meridian was fully opened, consuming the channel opening solution again would only help expand the meridian by a bit. But now, his 100th meridian wasn¡¯t fully opened and as he drank a bottle of channel opening solution, his 101th meridian appeared. Chapter 162: Where’s This Outer Disciple From Chapter 162: Where¡¯s This Outer Disciple From Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Lightning bolts landed once again in the lightning tempering room, and Mo Wuji could only guide them to attack the 101th meridian. Identical to what happened with the 100th meridian, guiding the lightning bolt to strike the blocked meridian only increased his suffering, yet not causing the blockage to budge a smudge. At this point, he just downed all remaining bottles of channel opening solution, and just as expected, he opened up to the 108th meridian. However, Mo Wuji knew that these 108 meridians were really only 99 meridians. 9 of them were still blocked and could not be considered meridians. Blocked meridians could not be used for spiritual energy circulation, and did not allow spiritual energy to flow through. As long as they were not cleared, it was as though they were never opened in the first place. Regarding this, Mo Wuji was not that concerned. While he did not manage to open the 100th meridian, he still advanced to Channel Opening Stage Level 10, which meant that he had the chance to progress to the Extreme Mortality Stage. Two more hours passed by, and the lightning bolts eventually stopped. He cleaned himself up, then opened the doors to the lightning tempering room. His dishevelled appearance was a total misrepresentation of the happiness he hid. Being able to open 99 meridians and advance to Channel Opening Stage Level 10 had placed him ahead of 99% of the cultivators with spiritual roots. Now what he needed most was to take some lessons in cultivation, and prepare for the Spirit Building Stage. After this, he had to make a trip to the Pill Pagoda too, to take a look at Yan¡¯Er, and hopefully speak with her for awhile. As Mo Wuji just left the Immortal Training Tower, Cen Shuyin opened the doors of her ice tempering room. When she arrived four hours ago, lightning tempering room C had a jade token inserted into the groove outside, but now the immortal training tower jade token had been taken away, meaning that Mo Wuji, who had cultivated here for over a day, had just left. Hence, Cen Shuyin quickened her pace, wanting to catch up with Mo Wuji, but by the time she reached the first floor of the Immortal Training Tower, Mo Wuji was already far far away. ¡­ "Apprentice brother Mo, you¡¯re finally back. Elder Dai is lecturing on spirit channels today, are you going to listen to him too?" Before Mo Wuji even reached his house, he met the approaching Chao Buheng. As for Mo Wuji¡¯s constant dishevelled and wounded appearance, Chao Buheng was already used to seeing it. "Of course, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll go with you." Without returning to his house, Mo Wuji decided to attend a lecture with Chao Buheng immediately. Upon receiving Mo Wuji¡¯s favourable reply, Chao Buheng responded excitedly, "Apprentice brother Mo, let me tell you, Elder Dai Zhu is an expert of the Yuan Dan Stage, and his research into spiritual roots and spirit channels is the deepest in his field. Everytime he lectures on spirit channels, the location will be bursting with people, hence we better reach earlier. For us outer disciples, we have 10 opportunities to attend lectures for free. Once we exceed the 10, we will have to spend contribution points." "Thank you apprentice brother Chao." Mo Wuji gave Chao Buheng¡¯s shoulders a heavy pat. While Chao Buheng was cowardly, he possessed a thirst for knowledge. Since he had arrived at the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s outer sect peak, Mo Wuji spent most of his time opening meridians. On the other hand, most of Chao Buheng¡¯s time was spent on cultivating and attending lectures. He probably almost finished using his 10 free lectures by then. ¡­ The location where Heaven Seeking Pagoda¡¯s disciples went for lectures was the Heaven Seeking Skill Technique Block, a half an hour journey away from the outer sect peak. Indeed, Chao Buheng was early, and Mo Wuji followed him to register his identity jade token at the Technique Block. When they entered the Technique Block¡¯s lecture hall, there were only two or three people around. "Apprentice brother Mo, let¡¯s sit here." Chao Buheng chose a seat at the back corner and sat down. Puzzled by his actions, Mo Wuji pointed at the seats in the center of the hall and asked, "Apprentice brother Chao, sitting there will naturally allow us to listen to the lecture more clearly, and we can ask any questions that we may have immediately, why should we sit at the back instead?" Chao Buheng quickly explained, "Even if we were to sit there now, we¡¯ll have to give them up eventually. The people here are all experts, and once you don¡¯t give up the seat, they will attack you. Only those who are at the peak of Channel Opening Stage dare to sit in front, and also some Channel Opening Stage geniuses from the inner sect¡­" Slightly surprised, Mo Wuji questioned, "Apprentice brother Chao, aren¡¯t there any Spirit Building Stage disciples coming to listen to the lecture?" It was not surprising for inner sect Channel Opening Stage disciples to come for the lecture. Mo Wuji could remember that most of the outer sect disciples that climbed the sky staircase were Spirit Building Stage cultivators, unless those people did not attend lectures? Explaining the situation, Chao Buheng spoke, "This is where Channel Opening Stage disciples go for lectures, but since it¡¯s Elder Dai lecturing on spirit channels, perhaps there will be Spirit Building Stage disciples around . However, all of us only have 10 chances to go for lectures for free,so I guess many Spirit Building Stage apprentice brothers won¡¯t likely waste that opportunity." Mo Wuji nodded in agreement, "Apprentice brother Chao, let¡¯s just sit in the center." Listening to a lecture as different from climbing the Sky Staircase. Mo Wuji could lie low while climbing the Sky Staircase, because he was afraid it would affect his safety and interests. However for something like listening to a lecture which also affected his own interests, he definitely would not keep quiet. What if he sat at the back and missed or misunderstood what the technique lecturer was saying but did not have the chance to clarify? It would be such a waste. Fighting for seats seemed rather ridiculous though, couldn¡¯t it be based on first come first serve? Mo Wuji would be coming for lectures very frequently in the future, so once he sits at the back one time, he would be fated for the back forever. Moreover, this was the location of lectures for Channel Opening Stage disciples, and as a Channel Opening Stage Level 10 cultivator, none of the other Channel Opening Stage disciples scare him. When he saw Mo Wuji sitting down at the best seat in front, cold sweat dripped down Chao Buheng¡¯s forehead. However he wasn¡¯t that close with Mo Wuji, so he couldn¡¯t just pull Mo Wuji to the back. Seeing that Chao Buheng did not move with him, Mo Wuji did not bother with him anymore. Both of them were merely neighbours at District D, so he could not force Chao Buheng either. A few cultivators arrived next, and they seemed rather surprised to see Mo Wuji openly sitting at the best seats. They were soon waiting to watch a good show to happen. From what they saw, Mo Wuji would eventually crawl off the seats obediently. Another hour passed before people began to stream into the Technique Hall. By then Mo Wuji was already in admiration of Chao Buheng¡¯s attitude towards learning, which was to the point that he would arrive much earlier for a lecture. The first thing that cultivators saw when they entered was Mo Wuji, who was an outer disciple with a head of messy hair, some scars on his face, and most importantly, was sitting in the best seat in the first row. Some of the cultivators even chuckled as they passed Mo Wuji, and greeted him, "Junior apprentice brother, I admire your courage." Half an incense¡¯s time later, when most of the hall was full of people, five yellow robed inner sect disciples walked in. The guy in front was a youth with a tall physique, and a rather handsome appearance. By Mo Wuji¡¯s estimates, this youth was no more than 16 years old. He was obviously the leader of those five, and he walked straight in front of Mo Wuji. After staring at Mo Wuji for a good while, he lifted up one leg, and stepped on the seat beside Mo Wuji, pointing to the area below him, "New guy, crawl through here, and I¡¯ll forgive your insolence this time." As the leader was speaking, the other four yellow robed inner sect disciples had closed off all possible escape routes for Mo Wuji. The whole hall fell silent, and everyone¡¯s eyes were drawn to Mo Wuji, wanting to see if Mo Wuji would crawl off, or be beaten to a pulp before he got forced to crawl away. Regardless how events panned out, to everyone in the Technique Hall, Mo Wuji was sure to end up crawling between the youth¡¯s legs. By then, Chao Buheng was panicking, those guys were the top few out of the inner sect disciples, and each of them had a strong backer, even more so for their leader. Once Mo Wuji really crawled out, he would be destroyed. Mo Wuji slowly stood up, from what he observed, these few guys were at Channel Opening Stage. He would definitely not give up this seat, as he had heard of the story of Hong Yun before. Old Man Hong Yun was stripped of his status as a saint because he gave up his seat in the Purple Cloud Palace, and even lost his life in the end. Of course, this was just a Chinese legend, but the principles behind it was the same. "Are you deaf? Didn¡¯t you hear me¡­" "Slap!" Before the youth could finish raging, he received a tight slap across his face from Mo Wuji, and flew backwards. At that moment, he felt as though he was struck by lightning, with buzzing sounds filling his head, and stars dancing in front of his eyes. Then, he hit the wall of the hall. The whole Technique Hall grew dead silent. After a few breaths, the few other yellow robed cultivators reacted, and pounced onto Mo Wuji wildly, some even drawing their swords. With a swift motion of his arm, Mo Wuji drew his sword out too. "Cling cling...Clang clang¡­" Sparks flew as the swords connected, and both men wielding swords felt a large wave of elemental energy flowing over. This was something they couldn¡¯t even hope to resist. During the time gap when all four yellow robed disciples were stunned, Mo Wuji threw out four kicks in quick succession. "Bang Bang Bang Bang!" All four of the yellow robed guys flew like sandbags, being kicked to tens of meters away by Mo Wuji, and hitting the wall of the Technique Hall. Two of them had blood stained chests, because they could not draw their swords in time, and were hurt by Mo Wuji¡¯s sharp blade. Mo Wuji was completely surprised by this. After advancing to Channel Opening Stage Level 10, he was not sure how strong he was. Now that he had exchanged blows with five Channel Opening Stage cultivators, he could clearly sense how much strength he possessed. When facing these five so-called Channel Opening Stage experts, he had crushed them without any doubt. If he did not hold back, those two cultivators that did not draw their blades would have had their hearts sliced into two. The hall remained quiet. While these people were not the strongest Channel Opening Stage cultivators in Heaven Seeking Palace, but they were definitely in the ranks of Channel Opening Stage experts. When did such a strong outer disciple appear? Defeating the five inner sect disciples in seconds? Could he be in Spirit Building Stage? But that¡¯s not right, this guy did not have any spiritual energy disturbances around him, so how could he be a Spirit Building Stage disciple? Mo Wuji took his time to proceed to the side of the yellow robed youth, who had a face full of fear and disbelief. How could there be such a strong outer sect disciple? It can¡¯t be, this guy must be a Spirit Building Stage expert. Squatting down, Mo Wuji pat the yellow robed youth a few times on the face, "Do you know why I won¡¯t ask you to crawl between my legs?" The yellow robed youth shook his head, and the few others that were blown over by Mo Wuji did not dare to utter a word either. Although it was a simple exchange just now, but they knew that even the five of them combined would not be able to stand up to a few kicks from Mo Wuji. Luckily this was inside the Technique Hall. If it were outside, perhaps they would have been wiped out by now. Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "Because I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll dirty my pants, you idiot. Next time you better stay far away from me, otherwise I¡¯ll beat you up every time I see you. Don¡¯t just lie there, scr*w off to the side." He asked them to go to one side because he was also worried about the lecturer seeing all these guys lying there like dead pigs and scolding him to no end, which would get in the way of his learning. Chapter 163: Elemental Storage Channel Chapter 163: Elemental Storage Channel Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Perhaps because he had never experienced such an incident before, the slap by Mo Wuji on the yellow robed man destroyed his soul causing him to be stunned for a moment. He subconsciously followed Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions as he walked over to the side before sitting down. The other yellow robed inner disciples did not dare to step out to speak as they gave way in a hurry. These inner disciples might have top grade spiritual roots, but their strength were no match for Mo Wuji. In front of a strong Mo Wuji, nobody dared to step out to say anything at all. At this moment, all the disciples had already filled up the seats in the Technique Hall and there were even many people standing at the back. Mo Wuji sat alone in the middle of the first row because nobody dared to sit with him after witnessing how Mo Wuji taught the yellow robed inner disciple a lesson. There was literally empty seats on the left and right of Mo Wuji. Those few disciples who had been lectured by Mo Wuji did not dare to return to their seats beside Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was feeling a little flustered too because all he wanted was a seat, not necessarily the best seat in the first row. Just then, a middle aged black moustache man wearing a grey robed entered the Technique Hall. Even without learning how to sense a person¡¯s cultivation level, Mo Wuji knew that this black bearded man would be the Elder Dai speaking about spirit channels today. The aura emitted from this man made Mo Wuji realised that this man was clearly a lot stronger than himself. The black bearded man stood on the speaker¡¯s altar and swept across the hall with his eyes. When he saw that the best row of seats was occupied only by Mo Wuji and noticing that Mo Wuji was probably only an outer disciple, he felt a little surprised. Very quickly, his eyes fell on the wall not too far away with a fresh blood stain. Mo Wuji was very calm as he was ready to take responsibility if Elder Dai did decide to pursue the matter. What Mo Wuji did not expect was that Elder Dai did not even mention anything about it or ask why Mo Wuji sitting alone as he started his talk straightaway: "Cultivators are people who cultivates. During the early days of cultivation, cultivators are always addressed as spiritualists. To become a cultivator, one must have spiritual roots and those without spiritual roots are called mortals who will never be able to cultivate¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart disagreed with this claim that the black bearded man made. Mo Wuji did not have any spiritual roots to begin with and now he was sitting here as a cultivator like everyone else here. This was because he avoided the common approach to cultivate with spiritual roots and went on an alternative cultivation path on his own. "Those with spiritual roots will naturally be able to cultivate. Of course, there are good and bad spiritual roots of high and low grade. So how do we tell whether a spiritual root is good or bad? High or low grade? The most common method would be a normal spiritual roots test. In fact, this was basically the most fundamental way of testing for spiritual roots and it may not be the most accurate way to judge¡­" Elder Dai¡¯s lecture content went from shallow to deep as it went on and Mo Wuji was captivated from the start to the end, paying his fullest attention. "I have personally seen a low grade spiritual roots cultivator entering the True God Stage. This was of course due to the many opportunities presented to him. The most accurate way to judge whether a person¡¯s spiritual roots are good or bad is not by testing the quality of the spiritual roots but by the number of spirit channels available. For a normal cultivator, he would be considered to be a genius cultivator if he have more than 10 spirit channels when the spirit was first opened. Of course, there are also cultivators who are able to open more than 20 spirit channels when they first open their spirit¡­" As Elder Dai spoke till here, he scanned through the hall before using a warmer tone to speak, "For those who only opened four or five spirit channels when you first open your spirit, do not think that you¡¯re incapable just because of this. Opening spirit was only the first step to opening spirit channels, the number of spirit channels that one can open will depend on one¡¯s hard work and luck. In the Heaven Seeking Palace, there used to be a senior who only opened three spirit channels initially managing to open more than 90 spirit channels in the end all through his hard work¡­" Voices of discussion burst out in the hall as those attending this lecture were not completely clueless. They knew that a person with average spiritual roots would never be able to open more than 90 spirit channels. "Now let me explain the different spirit channels. There are many different spirit channels in a human body: main channel, odd channel, pivot channel, surface channel, skin channel, bone channel, alternative channel¡­" Despite having a decent understanding towards his meridians, Mo Wuji admired Elder Dai¡¯s speech a lot as he definitely benefitted a lot from his detailed explanation. It was not just Mo Wuji as many other cultivators were paying their fullest attention too as they memorised the names of these spirit channels and its uses by heart. Nobody realised how quickly time had passed by. "...the Jue Dimension spirit channel is the central spirit channel of the alternative channels. It can not only guide my generation to cultivate our circulation technique..." ... "Alright, today¡¯s lecture about spirit channel ends here. If there are disciples who still have any queries, please ask now. Remember, you can only ask questions regarding spirit channels," Everyone was quiet throughout the whole 12 hours lecture until Elder Dai said this sentence. Everyone finally came back to their senses after being exposed to such vast knowledge about spirit channels. Mo Wuji felt that everything was worth it now that he was sitting in the first row. He stood up naturally without any hesitation before bowing and asked, "Disciple Mo Wuji wish to inquire more from senior. I¡¯ve heard that previously, there was someone who was able to open 100 spirit channels. May I ask if this is true?" The earlier incident where Mo Wuji violently beat up a few inner disciples was still fresh in everyone¡¯s mind. Now that Mo Wuji stood up to ask, none of the many disciples dared to say anything even if they were not happy with Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Because Mo Wuji asked an idiotic question which served no purpose at all. Who cares about the 100th spirit channel? However, nobody dared to say anything. Raising this question was simply wasting an opportunity to ask more questions. Dai Zhu grunted before smiling, "Opening 100 spirit channels is not fake. In actual fact, I¡¯ve heard of a genius senior who managed to open 101 spirit channels." Even those who were not happy with Mo Wuji¡¯s meaningless question were captivated by Dai Zhu¡¯s answer. A genius who opened 101 spirit channels? Who could it be? "The spirit channels that I mentioned earlier does not include the 100th spirit channel. The 100th spirit channel is called the elemental storage channel. This spirit channel is capable of storing elemental energy and more specifically, elemental energy that did not belong to the cultivator¡­" There was suddenly an uproar in the hall. Capable of storing elemental energy? This meant that if one were to open his elemental storage channel, he would have one more trump card as compared to the other cultivators. If two people were fighting on par with each other, this extra elemental energy within the spirit channel could be an incredible killing weapon. Dai Zhu laughed as he said, "I believe that everyone understood the incredible strength of the elemental storage channel and this was the sole reason that an expert who has opened 100 spirit channels is so much stronger than a normal cultivator. Of course, there are extremely few experts who can open the 100th spirit channel. There used to be one senior who has opened a 100 spirit channels in my Heaven Seeking Palace. I¡¯ve heard rumours that this senior has already crossed the Five Elements Desolate Domain into the true big world." "Senior, may I ask how do one open the 100th spirit channel?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask again. The crowd did not believe what they just heard. Mo Wuji asked yet another stupid question. Mo Wuji could sense the crowd¡¯s frustration but he did not have a choice as he really needed to ask. This concerned his own future because for a person without any mentor, it was not easy to be able to meet Elder Dai Zhu, a senior who did research on spirit channels. He simply could not let such a rare opportunity go to waste. For matters like this which could directly affect his future, he would not have any hesitation to ask what he needed to know even if it made the others unhappy. If he cared about other people¡¯s opinion, he would not have been sitting in the front row at all. The fact that the 100th spirit channel was named as the elemental storage channel came as a surprise to Mo Wuji. The opening of the 100th spirit channel would definitely serve as an extra hidden trump card. Dai Zhu sighed before answering, "It is everything but easy to open the 100th spirit channel. I¡¯ve heard from others that only those who have reached Channel Opening Stage Level 10 will stand a chance to open the 100th spirit channel. As for the specific method to open the spirit channel, I have not done a proper research on it before. However, you can head down to the Heaven Seeking Palace Ancient Texts Depository for a more detailed explanation of the spirit channels." "Senior Dai, I am disciple Chu Zhensheng. After opening 69 spirit channels, I was no longer able to open any more spirit channel. As soon as I force myself to cultivate, this would increase the risk of my cultivation level collapsing. May I ask if there is any other way to solve this problem?" A man sitting behind Mo Wuji sounded out very quickly as he was afraid that Mo Wuji might snatch the opportunity to ask even more questions. As soon as the question was asked, the whole hall became silent as it was very evident that this was a question everyone was concerned about. If there was one person who was not worried about this, it had to be Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was already thinking about ways to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace Ancient Texts Depository. In the end, Mo Wuji made his decision to first visit Yan¡¯Er and then head over to the Ancient Texts Depository to research on ways to open his 100th meridian as well as ways to build his spirit. The moment Mo Wuji made his decision, the lecture that Dai Zhu was giving ended. Only after Dai Zhu left then the remaining disciples started to take their leave. "Mo Wuji, I will remember you," Mo Wuji turned his head and saw that it was a man in a yellow robe with a face filled with scars who said this in a sharp voice. Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks which made the young man took a few steps back subconsciously. "Scram, don¡¯t be disgusting in front of me. If you dare talk to me in this arrogant tone the next time I see you, I will beat you till you don¡¯t recognise your father and mother. "Mo Wuji gave the young man in a yellow robe a glare before shouting at him. The yellow robed youth and his fellow friends took a detour to avoid Mo Wuji before hurrying out of the Techniques Hall. The other disciples around subconsciously maintained a distance between themselves and Mo Wuji as they hurried out of the hall too. Seeing Chao Buheng¡¯s hesitant look, Mo Wuji did not call out for him. Mo Wuji knew that Chao Buheng was worried about sticking too close with him and ended up being targeted by the inner disciples whom he offended today. Chao Buheng only heaved a sigh of relief after he saw Mo Wuji leaving the hall as he lowered his head feeling a little guilty. In his heart, he was secretly shocked at how terrifyingly strong Mo Wuji was and he was wondering just how such a strong person could only ended up climbing eight steps on the Heaven Seeking Staircase? "This person is so strong, who is he?" After Mo Wuji left, many disciples started to discuss about him as they all witnessed how casually Mo Wuji managed to sweep these Channel Opening Stage disciples away without any effort. "I suspect that he is already in the Spirit Building Stage." "Let¡¯s go, this matter will definitely not end like that. This person called Mo Wuji was too reckless and he is bound to regret his actions soon¡­" ¡­ Mo Wuji did not mind at all even if he knew trouble would come his way after offending them. He definitely harvested a lot from this session as he got the answers for the two questions which were very crucial for him. If there was still another opportunity for such talks in the future, he would still choose to sit in front. Chapter 164: Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda Chapter 164: Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda was really a pagoda, but it wasn¡¯t a pagoda fit for living. The Pill Pagoda had a total of 10 levels. It was rumoured that each level represented a Pill Dao realm. Every year, the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s pill refiners would borrow the power of the Pill Pagoda to assess their attainments in the Pill Dao. A Tier 1 Mortal Pill Refiner would never be able to climb up to the second level. Similarly, a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner could not ascend to the fourth floor. At the same time, this was the five great empire¡¯s alchemy certification pagoda. In the five great empires, there was only one place with the rights to certify the abilities of a pill refiner, that was the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda. Every three years, there would also be a large group of pill refiners who would pay the fees and head into the Pill Pagoda and obtain a certification. A pill refiner certified by the Pill Pagoda would be able to enjoy a 90% discount when they purchase spiritual herbs and pills. For two pill refiners of the same tier, with one certified by the Pill Pagoda, while the other wasn¡¯t, then the one without the certification could only look at the other with envy. The amount of gold the certified pill refiner would earn was significantly higher. From afar, Mo Wuji could already see the Pill Pagoda standing erect in the Pill Refiner Plaza. However, this was not the period for certification, so the people in the Pill Refiner Plaza was little. Across Pill Refiner Plaza was an unfathomably deep and wide stream. The deep stream was shrouded with clouds, and from time to time, it would emit a whistling noise. Above the stream, there were many various kinds of streams connected to the Pill Refiner Plaza. Just like rays of light from the sun, these bridges went in all different directions. Some bridges were simply an iron chain, some were constructed with wood, while some were wide enough to fit a carriage. Even though Mo Wuji had never visited the Pill Pagoda before, he knew that the bridges atop this steam would lead to to the residences of the peerless pill refiners of the sect. A white whiskered elder sat on a boulder by the side of the river with a fishing rod in his hand. His fishing rod hung over the deep stream, as though he was trying to hook some fishes. However, Mo Wuji could not even see a fishing line from the rod, much less a fish. Furthermore, this stream was like a deep abyss, and not a fish pond, what fish could he catch? "Senior, junior here wishes to visit Granny Linglong. May I ask which bridge leads to her residences?" Mo Wuji bowed and asked respectfully. The white whiskered old man swept his eyes across Mo Wuji before saying with much difficulty, "The one that cannot be seen." With that, he concentrated back into the stream. Regardless of what Mo Wuji said or asked, he did not even mutter another word. Mo Wuji was truly helpless and could only stand and wait by the side. After some unknown length of time, the elder suddenly jerked the fishing rod in his hands. Mo Wuji gasped in astonishment as he discovered that this elder was really fishing. The fish¡¯s entire body was clear, just like a silver fish. The elder excitedly placed this transparent fish into a wooden bucket he had prepared. Mo Wuji could only take a rough glimpse at the fish¡¯s appearance before the elder covered the wood bucket. How could he catch a fish without a fishing line? Moreover, this deep stream was so deep, you can¡¯t even see its bottom, where did the fishes come from? These two impossibilities actually actually ended up turning into reality? Mo Wuji could not hold it in any further as he used to spiritual will to scan the elder¡¯s fishing rod. Immediately, he discovered that it wasn¡¯t a case where the fishing rod was without a fishing line. It was just that the fishing line could not be seen with his physical eyes. Mo Wuji suddenly recalled the elder¡¯s previous sentence, and had his eureka moment. He used his spiritual will to scan across the deep stream. In ten breaths¡¯ time, he found a bridge which could not be seen with his physical eye, but could be discovered with his spiritual sense. Even though this bridge was actually a chain, the chain was not thin. Not only wasn¡¯t the chain thin, it even had the thickness of an adult¡¯s thumb. Mo Wuji was unable to see it previously as this chain did not seem to have any color, and it camouflaged and blended perfectly with the surroundings. No wonder why the elder claimed that it was the bridge which could not be seen. He was truly unable to view this bridge with his physical eyes. At the instant Mo Wuji started using his spiritual will, the white whiskered elder suddenly raised his head and stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s back for a good while. "Many thanks senior." By the time Mo Wuji turned back to face the old elder, he had already looked down towards his precious wooden bucket. Mo Wuji knew that the other party didn¡¯t talk much, so after expressing his gratitude, he immediately stepped onto that unseeable chain bridge. Even though the wind was strong, and this chain bridge was constantly shaking, Mo Wuji did not face much difficulty traversing it with his Channel Opening Stage Level 10 cultivation. The bridge was very long; Mo Wuji walked for at least a good half an hour before he reached the opposite bank. Welcoming him on the bank was a hexagonal pavilion; it looked a little like a pavilion from ancient times. Pass the pavilion, was a bluestone staircase. The steps were evenly spaced and led to a grand and majestic hall. Mo Wuji followed the bluestone staircase to the outside of the hall where he met someone familiar, it was the red robed female cultivator who first brought him to meet Granny Linglong. "This senior apprentice sister, I would like to see Yan¡¯Er¡­" Mo Wuji bowed and said courteously. "Follow me," The red robed female cultivator did not even question Mo Wuji, nor did she mention anything about reporting to Granny Linglong. She directly brought Mo Wuji to bypass the hall over to a small loft surrounded by spiritual herbs. Mo Wuji had learnt a little about arrays; seeing the dense spiritual energy encompassing over this loft, he knew that there was definitely some high grade spirit gathering array here. Cultivating in this small loft would be more than 100 times better than his puny District D. "Greetings senior apprentice sister." As Mo Wuji arrived outside the loft, he immediately recognised the young lady watering the spiritual herbs - it was one of the twins serving Granny Linglong. "Pill Master Mo, you¡¯re here to see Yan¡¯Er?" The young lady stopped watering and asked lightly. Mo Wuji eagerly replied, "Yes, may I request senior apprentice sister to help me inform her." The young lady was a little hesitant, and this was immediately picked up by Mo Wuji, "May I ask, is it inconvenient?" The young lady bit her lips and said, "It¡¯s not exactly inconvenient, but because Granny Linglong had just repaired Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit channels, Yan¡¯Er is now cultivating behind closed doors. However, if Pill Master Mo must meet her, I will immediately report your presence." "Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit channels are already repaired?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise. The young lady nodded, "Yes, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spirit channels are all good now. It¡¯s just that she is in a critical point of her cultivation. If Pill Master Mo comes 3 months later, she would have passed this critical moment. Of course, Granny has also instructed us to allow Pill Master Mo to meet Yan¡¯Er whenever you visit¡­" "That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good¡­" Mo Wuji muttered, he felt his eyes getting wet. Yan¡¯Er had suffered for so long, and now she can have a new life of her own. In his heart, Mo Wuji only had immense gratitude towards Granny Linglong - gratitude for saving Yan¡¯Er¡¯s life. Whether or not Yan¡¯Er could recognise him was secondary. As long as Yan¡¯Er was alright, nothing else was important. "It¡¯s okay, I won¡¯t disturb Yan¡¯Er¡¯s closed door cultivation. I will go off first, I¡¯ll come visit Yan¡¯Er in the future¡­" As Mo Wuji replied, he stared intently at the loft. It was only after some time that he slowly turned back and walked away. He had this premonition that when he visited here again, Yan¡¯Er would already be a complete stranger. After Mo Wuji¡¯s figure disappeared, the other twin walked out from the loft, and looked towards the direction he left. She sighed as she said, "Danqi [1], wasn¡¯t that a little too much? Granny did instruct us to allow Pill Master Mo and Yan¡¯Er to meet when Pill Master Mo visits. She even told us to let them interact more often." The young lady, Danqi, bit her lips and said, "Danxiang [1], Yan¡¯Er is now in a key moment of her cultivation. Granny¡¯s heart is soft, but I truly believe that allowing Yan¡¯Er to meet Pill Master Mo would waste all of Granny¡¯s efforts. Remember the large amounts of effort Granny sacrificed to save Yan¡¯Er? Even her cultivation regressed significantly." Danxiang went silent. Danqi was right; if Yan¡¯Er¡¯s condition recurred and required Granny to save her again, Granny might over-expend her elemental energy, and it would be intensely difficult for Granny to recover from that. "Ai, I¡¯m worried that with Yan¡¯Er¡¯s peerless talent, she would already be in Spirit Building by the time Pill Master Mo comes again," Danxiang lamented. Danqi lowered her head and did not say anything. Danxiang¡¯s worries were not unfounded, but definite. She was sure that by Mo Wuji¡¯s next visit, Yan¡¯Er would have successfully built her spirit. If Yan¡¯Er successfully entered the Spirit Building Stage, all her memories would completely disappear, and the Mo Wuji who would appear before her would only be a complete stranger. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to help Mo Wuji, but Granny really couldn¡¯t afford to help Yan¡¯Er out again. ¡­ When Mo Wuji returned, the fishing elder had already disappeared. Mo Wuji was feeling a little despondent so he wasn¡¯t really in the mood to ask about where the elder went, or what kind of fish he was trying to catch. He did not even have the mood to return to the outer sect mountain, but went to the Ancient Texts Depository instead. He had two goals at the Ancient Texts Depository; one was to learn how to open the elemental storage channel, the other was to learn how to build his spirit. The Heaven Seeking Palace Ancient Text¡¯s Depository was a total of five levels. As Mo Wuji arrived at the entrance of the depository, he presented his outer disciple identity token and asked, "May I ask how many spirit stones would I need to pay to take a look at some cultivation-related scriptures and manual?" The caretaker of the Ancient Texts Depository was a stern looking man. The man used his eyes to size Mo Wuji up before saying coldly, "The Ancient Texts Depository doesn¡¯t accept spirit stones, only sect contribution points. Level 1 requires 100 contribution points a day, Level 2 requires 300 contribution points a day, Level 3 requires 1000 contribution points a day¡­" "What about Level 4 and 5?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. The man continued in an icy cold tone, "Outer disciples don¡¯t have the rights to enter Level 4 and 5." Mo Wuji left the Ancient Texts Depository with a bit of disappointment. Now, it was impossible to not accept sect assignments. If he didn¡¯t do them, he wouldn¡¯t be able to earn sect contribution points; without sect contribution points, he naturally wouldn¡¯t have the rights to enter the Ancient Texts Depository. All sects were the same, they all had an Assignments Hall where disciples accept quests and assignments. Even though the Heaven Seeking Palace had disciples from sects from all five empires, and was more like a place for higher learning, it was still run like a sect. Disciples have to earn contribution points to exchange for items they required. Mo Wuji needed contribution points, so he needed to visit the Assignments Hall and accept assignments. [1] The Dan in their names actually mean pills. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing whether these girls are actually some sort of pill spirit? Chapter 165: Lost Sky Ruins and Sky Channel Flower Chapter 165: Lost Sky Ruins and Sky Channel Flower Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "I¡¯ve been searching for you for quite some time." As Mo Wuji just left the Ancient Texts Depository, someone stopped him. It was Cen Shuyin, without looking at her face, Mo Wuji could recognise her from her voice. Turning around, he indeed spotted Cen Shuyin walking over. Even though Mo Wuji had nothing to exchange with her, but he couldn¡¯t deny that it was rather enjoyable to feast his eyes on her beauty every time he met her. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, I really cannot exchange my lightning affinity body tempering technique." Mo Wuji impatiently said. He knew how much Cen Shuyin desired the body tempering technique that he possessed. To that, she calmly replied, "I desperately need your lightning body tempering technique, and can do a trade with you for it. Just now were you stopped from entering the Ancient Texts Depository to read books? If you¡¯re willing, I can use the sect¡¯s contribution points to exchange for it." If it was possible, Mo Wuji would trade with Cen Shuyin without any hesitation. He was totally unwilling to do any nonsense tasks, as he wanted to make good use of all the time on hand for cultivation and advancement. However, he really did not have any lightning body tempering technique. As Mo Wuji did not respond, Cen Shuyin continued, "I¡¯ve searched from the Immortal Training Tower to the outer sect peak, then the Technique hall, and finally the Ancient Texts Depository¡­" At that point, Cen Shuyin bit her lip, perhaps unintentionally, but this move made her overflowing beauty even more prominent. "Because this lightning body tempering technique is really important to me¡­" Cen Shuyin changed her tone. This was the first time she had to speak this much. Moreover, it was towards a male cultivator that she basically was not acquainted to. Still, Mo Wuji was very impatient, and after a good period of hesitation, he suddenly said, "Since you know that I attended a lecture, I¡¯ll ask you a question based on today¡¯s lesson, if you¡¯re able to answer it correctly, I¡¯ll give you the body tempering technique." "Okay, ask away!" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Cen Shuyin¡¯s face revealed an extremely ecstatic expression. She looked like a small girl who was excited about some candy. At this moment, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Xia Ruoyin, back when she was still young, and before she became cold and quiet. In reality, Xia Ruoyin was very boisterous at a young age, and was often very expressive, like how Cen Shuyin had just burst with happiness. Sometimes simply because of candy, sometimes just to make Mo Wuji happy. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, ask away," The question never left Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth, hence Cen Shuyin reminded him again. A distracted Mo Wuji regained his senses, as he abruptly recalled Xia Ruoyin, Cen Shuyin¡¯s perfect image had suddenly vanished. The Cen Shuyin before him had become just another female cultivator seeking to trade for her own benefit. "In normal circumstances, even the most talented cultivator would only be able to open 99 spirit channels when opening the spirit at the Channel Opening Stage. However, there are a few rare cultivators that can open 100 spirit channels, even 101 spirit channels. So let me ask you, if you had already opened the 99th spirit channel, how would you open the 100th one?" Mo Wuji was trying his best to put his emotions away, and composed himself before asking the most crucial question that he needed the answer to. He was very confident that Cen Shuyin would not be able to answer this. No matter how impressive she was, it was only in terms of cultivation. She couldn¡¯t be be even better in knowledge than Dai Zhu, who specialised in spirit channel research. With a few nods, Cen Shuyin became calm and serious, "In the ancient world of cultivation, opening the 100th spirit channel was actually not a rarity. Not only the 100th spirit channel, some people had also opened the 101th one. Both the 100th and 101th spirit channels are called the Elemental Storage Channels. There¡¯s only one way to open the 100th spirit channel, which is to advance to Channel Opening Stage Level 10, and once there, use the Sky Channel Flower to build the spirit, because you only can do so at Channel Opening Stage Level 10. At the instant that the Sky Channel Flower builds the spirit, the 100th spirit channel can be opened¡­" Stunned, Mo Wuji stood there motionless. Originally, he wanted to ask a difficult question to make Cen Shuyin back off . That would mean that it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to sell the technique to her, but it was because she couldn¡¯t answer the question from him. Before asking her, the thought that Cen Shuyin would be able to answer such a question never popped into Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. This was exactly the answer he wanted to find at the Ancient Texts Depository. He had even made preparations for what to do in the event that he did not obtain the information that he required, but who knew that he would get the answer with such ease. Spirit building at Channel Opening Stage Level 10 could be done with the Sky Channel Flower, and at the moment that the spirit was built, you could use it to open the 100th spirit channel too. The answer was that simple, but even a master level spirit channel researcher like Dai Zhu did not know about it while Cen Shuyin did. Yet Mo Wuji still remained silent, which worried Cen Shuyin. She was afraid that Mo Wuji would not keep his word, hence she added on, "I know that the Sky Channel Flower only grows at one location on the whole Lost Continent, which is the Lost Sky Ruins." "Lost Sky Ruins? Where is that?" Mo Wuji asked subconsciously. Cen Shuyin replied, "Yes, the Lost Sky Ruins. The five great empires that we¡¯re at now has been collectively referred to as the Lost Continent by foreigners, but that¡¯s not without any reason. The reason behind it was the Lost Sky Ruins, which was the battlefield of gods in legends, and has many treasures in it. Because of its emergence, every sect¡¯s training missions would include it as one of the locations. However, once you enter, even if you are a True God Stage expert, your safety is not guaranteed." In one breath, Cen Shuyin finished her whole explanation. Then she clenched her fist. Just for this lightning body tempering technique, the amount of words she had spoken to Mo Wuji today was probably already much more than what she would say in a year. But as she saw that Mo Wuji still did not bring up the technique despite her laborious answers, Cen Shuyin began to frown. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, I have a skill transfer crystal ball for a sword art, why don¡¯t I give this crystal ball to you?" Mo Wuji simply had no way of producing a lightning body tempering technique, and could only make use of the Invisible Sword Sword Art. Since they day he obtained this sword art, he had never opened it. Cen Shuyin¡¯s expression darkened, but she did not speak a single word. Creating enmity with others was never her style, but she also was not willing to be played by others like this. As she did not say anything, Mo Wuji knew that he could not withhold the truth any further. However, it would be completely impossible for him to reveal the channel opening solution. After some hesitation, Mo Wuji knelt to the ground, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m not willing to give this technique to you, but it¡¯s because it¡¯s merely a lightning magic skill, called the Seven Style Lightning Sky¡­" Under the pressure of the current situation, Mo Wuji was prepared to use Seven Style Lightning Sky as a bargaining chip. Calmly, Cen Shuyin replied, "Keeping one¡¯s promises is a basic moral, so since you agreed, even if it¡¯s a magic skill, you have to trade it with me." Reaching out, Mo Wuji stopped Cen Shuyin from saying any more, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, there¡¯s another reason behind my unwillingness to trade with you. Because this Seven Styles Lightning Sky is life-threatening. I almost got burnt to death when training in it initially." When he said these sentences, he was also worried that Cen Shuyin would end up dead after casually training. Informing her that she would be able to escape death in the extreme cold, he also hoped that she would go to places with extreme cold when training. "Pass me your disciple identity token." Cen Shuyin took a quick glance as she took over the incomplete Seven Style Lightning Sky manual, unsure if she could trust Mo Wuji¡¯s words. "There¡¯s no need, just take it. I am not that hard up for contribution points now anyway." Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin was going to give him contribution points in exchange. However, he really did not want to take advantage of her that way, as this first style of Seven Styles Lightning Sky had become worthless to him. Yet Cen Shuyin did not reply, instead directly grabbing Mo Wuji¡¯s disciple identity token hung on his waist, and produced her own. After a clink together and a swipe of her hand, she left. Mo Wuji automatically looked down on his disciple identity token, and found a thousand more contribution points in writing. Shaking his head, he knew that he could no longer reject it now that she had given it to him. ¡­ Now he had contribution points, but his interest in the Ancient Texts Depository had died down. The top priority was to find the Sky Channel Flower, and to find out more, he had to go to the Assignment Hall. The first thing that he noticed upon stepping foot in the Assignment Hall was not the various assignments worth contribution points, but a large ranking board, the Heaven Seeking Staircase ranking board. He had climbed to the eighth step of the Heaven Seeking Staircase previously, but the top score on the ranking board was a shocking 91 steps. The person ranked number one was named Gou Zihan, which was a rather odd sounding name. A little further down the ranking board, Mo WUji actually found someone he knew: rank 50, Cen Shuyin, step count, 54 steps. This puzzled Mo Wuji. While Cen Shuyin was much higher in her level of cultivation than him, but he was sure that she did not enter the Yuan Dan Stage yet. For someone not even in the Yuan Dan Stage yet, she could get ranked 50th? Hence, he quickly pulled a cultivator next to him and asked, "Apprentice brother, may I find out if one can climb higher on the Heaven Seeking Staircase the higher one¡¯s cultivation level is?" After judging Mo Wuji thoroughly, the cultivator concluded that he was new here, thus replying as though he was a teacher, "You must be new here. The higher your cultivation level, the older your bones are, the harder it is to climb higher on the Heaven Seeking Staircase. The Heaven Seeking Palace has used countless years to prove that it is almost impossible for someone over 100 years old to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase." "Then may I ask how ranking is determined when two people climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase at the same time?" Mo Wuji followed up. The cultivator mildly answered, "I¡¯ve told you already, the Heaven Seeking Staircase is also a test of your bones¡¯ age and your potential. For people of the same batch, naturally whoever is younger will rank higher. Look at senior apprentice uncle Gou, he¡¯s younger than me, but has already entered Yuan Dan Stage Level 8, and climbed 91 steps. That¡¯s a real talent." With this the cultivator couldn¡¯t be bothered with Mo Wuji anymore, but still, a look of admiration had appeared in his eyes. Chapter 166: Kill Chapter 166: Kill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji thought to himself, once I open my 100th meridian, and advanced to Spirit Building Stage, I¡¯ll go climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase again. Let¡¯s see which step I can reach then. The Assignment Hall of Heaven Seeking Palace was much grander than Formless Blade Sect¡¯s. There were various arrays displaying different assignments, and their difficulty level and contribution points reward were prominently shown. Very quickly Mo Wuji spotted the assignment for the Lost Sky Ruins, which included mining and harvesting many different types of spiritual herbs and ores. There was even an assignment for gathering a map of the Lost Sky Ruins. What puzzled Mo Wuji was that he did not see the Sky Channel Flower mentioned anywhere. Could Cen Shuyin have lied to him in order to get the lightning affinity technique? However, Mo Wuji eliminated such a possibility swiftly. What she said was very conclusive, and didn¡¯t seem like something made up on the spot. "Team embarking to Lost Sky Ruins, cultivation cannot be lower than Spirit Building Stage Level 7, team address, second floor cubicle 31." "Destination Lost Sky Ruins, lacking one person, cultivation must be at least Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1¡­" "Lost Sky Ruins team, cultivation cannot be higher than Spirit Building Stage Level 4, address, second floor, cubicle 64." ¡­ After reading through all notices for teams entering the Lost Sky Ruins, Mo Wuji finally settled on cubicle 64. As his cultivation was at Channel Opening Stage, it definitely did not exceed Spirit Building Stage Level 4. Moreover, the request for people weaker than Spirit Building Stage Level 4, meant that the team¡¯s strength was nothing to write home about to begin with, making it safer for him too. Just as he prepared to proceed to the second floor, a figure hurriedly entered the Assignments Hall, and spotted Mo Wuji who was looking at the assignment display arrays. "Apprentice brother Mo, your house has been sealed up, and two Transcending Mortality Stage experts are openly guarding it, waiting for you to return¡­" The figure delivered a message rushedly, before leaving again in the same manner. From the look of his back, Mo Wuji could recognise that it was Chao Buheng that came to inform him. A sense of gratitude rose up from within. If it weren¡¯t for the message, once he went home, he would have landed in the hands of those two Transcending Mortality Stage experts. Although killing was forbidden within Heaven Seeking Palace, but duels were not banned, and countless disciples would get wounded and crippled through them. However, duels usually involved people at the same level. Deep inside Mo Wuji felt depressed to be of a lower cultivation level. He really thought that such a grudge between disciples would be settled through a duel, hence he did not put much thought into it. This was because he did not really beat up those inner disciples that much. All he had to do, was to take extra care when leaving Heaven Seeking Palace. In reality, same level duels were commonplace in Heaven Seeking Palace. For challengers, Mo Wuji really did not fear anyone at the same level as him. However, who knew that this kid would be so vicious, actually calling someone who was much stronger than him to wipe him out. From the looks of things, he was too naive, and thought too highly of Heaven Seeking Palace. As an outer disciple, once he¡¯s beaten to a near death state by someone with much higher cultivation than him, even to the point where his meridians were all destroyed, who could he turn to? Likely in the whole Heaven Seeking Palace, not a single person would stand up for him. Hence, Mo Wuji did not continue to cubicle 64, as looking for team members would delay him by at least two to four more hours. Previously Cen Shuyin could find him, so those seeking trouble with him could do so too. There was no time to waste, since he understood that the cruelty of the whole situation greatly exceeded what he had expected. Turning around and leaving, Mo Wuji head out of the Assignment Hall immediately. Without teaming up with other, would that mean he could not make it to the Lost Sky Ruins? After leaving the sect, Mo Wuji sped up further, preparing to head to Heaven Seeking City before going to the Lost Sky Ruins. A place like the Lost Sky Ruins would definitely be accessible from Heaven Seeking City. As the closest city to Heaven Seeking Palace, Heaven Seeking City was only four hours away on foot. ¡­ "Hmm, how could this guy leave safely?" Outside Heaven Seeking Palace, a youth in luxuriously robes exclaimed as he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s back. "Young Master, who is this?" Behind the luxuriously robed youth stood two sturdy young men, and one of them asked this question. While gritting his teeth, the luxuriously robed youth replied, "That¡¯s the b*st*rd that snatched my seat and slapped me in Technique Hall. I did send some guys to ambush him at District D of outer sect mountain. To remove all of his bone marrow, then destroy all his spirit channels. Who knew that this little ant would be able to leave Heaven Seeking Palace even before I went to check up on what happened. Those two pieces of trash¡­" "Since he¡¯s out of the sect, isn¡¯t it even better? We can go to kill him now," The second guy behind the luxuriously robed youth suggested. With a frown, the luxuriously robed youth hesitated slightly. The words that Mo Wuji spoke still lingered by his ears, and he could remotely feel a burning pain on his cheek. It was out of fear that he sent two Transcending Mortality Stage experts over. "This guy should have already entered Spirit Building Stage, possibly at Spirit Building Stage Level 1¡­" Hesitation appeared in the tone of the luxuriously robed youth¡¯s voice. He really wanted to call those two Transcending Mortality Stage guys hiding in ambush at outer sect mountain to come over, but it would take too long to do so. What if they lost track of this guy before those two arrived? The young man standing to the right of the luxuriously robed youth chuckled, "Young Master really overestimates him. Lu Ping and I are both at Spirit Building Stage Level 4, so it would be a big joke if three of us combined can¡¯t even take out a mere outer disciple. That guy just now didn¡¯t have spiritual ripples around him either, hence even if he barely makes the cut for Spirit Building Stage, he¡¯s still just a piece of trash. Think about it, he stays at District D of outer sect mountain." The young man named Lu Ping also rubbed his hands together and spoke, "Young Master, Jian Wei is right. We¡¯re not weak to the point where we can¡¯t eliminate some trash. Moreover, he¡¯s already out of Heaven Seeking Palace, so¡­" Lu Ping drew a line across his neck. Perhaps he thought that the two beside him were right, as the luxuriously robed youth finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, let¡¯s chase after him now and kill him. Every day that this ant is still alive is another day that I feel uneasy inside. D*mn it, how dare he snatch my seat, and slap me in public ¡­ Heaven Seeking Palace was not that far away from Heaven Seeking City. If one took a flying beast carriage, he would arrive at Heaven Seeking City within half an incense¡¯s worth of time. However, Mo Wuji did not want to alert anyone of his presence, so he sneakily left the Heaven Seeking Palace. There were three paths linking Heaven Seeking City to Heaven Seeking Palace. As he wanted to move undetected, Mo Wuji naturally chose the most deserted path. But what he did not expect was that he would be spotted by the youth seeking revenge on him just after leaving Heaven Seeking Palace. An hour into his journey, Mo Wuji sensed something was not right. He could seemingly feel slight killing intent. ¡®Not bad kid, you¡¯re actually quite sensitive," After Mo Wuji stopped, three figures emerged from the side of the small road, encircling him in their centre. This location was exactly in between Heaven Seeking Palace and Heaven Seeking City, both sides surrounded by a thin foliage, and could be considered as a rather deserted place. "So it¡¯s you, no wonder I keep smelling the stench of trash," With one swift motion of his arm, the Tian Ji Pole appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. But the luxuriously robed youth did not even take this development seriously. What Mo Wuji focused on were the two men standing beside the youth. From their auras, they were probably at Spirit Building Stage. As long as they were not in the Transcending Mortality Stage, he would still stand a chance. If they were so, he could only surrender to fate. "Hey, you also have a storage bag?" Lu Ping¡¯s eyes lit up. "Break every single bone in his body, I want to kill him slowly," The luxuriously robed youth¡¯s eyes were filled with wild murderous intent, and any fear he had for Mo Wuji disappeared in an instant. Without any commands from the youth, both Spirit Building Stage men wielded their weapons in hand and leapt towards Mo Wuji. Each of them headed in a direction different from the others. Lu Ping¡¯s weapon was a long whip, while Jian Wei¡¯s was a ring blade. Lu Ping pounced straight at Mo Wuji, and his whip flew forward with all the momentum it could muster, essentially blocking off one side for Mo Wuji to escape from. While his cultivation level was lower than both of them, Mo Wuji was not any weaker than either. Moreover, he also possessed spiritual will, which was something that neither of the two could match up to. From their attack, Mo Wuji could see that they were very well coordinated. If it were a normal battle, even if he could win, it would be very difficult. On top of that, he did not have much time to fight with these two. The longer the fight dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for him Victory had to be attained within the shortest period of him, and both of them had to be eradicated, to prevent them from joining forces against him again. To others, a Channel Opening Stage cultivator trying to kill two Spirit Building Stage cultivators who had impeccable coordination was a joke. However, it was not so to Mo Wuji. He swung his pole upwards, trying to parry the whip. But the strength behind it was much greater than what he could muster. The pole in his hands only managed to stop the whip for a moment, before he was blown backwards by the elemental energy on the ship. As Lu Ping saw Mo Wuji fly back, he laughed coldly inside. This guy is definitely stronger than ordinary Channel Opening Stage cultivators, but he still has a long way to go before he can match up to a Spirit Building Stage cultivator, much less against two Spirit Building Stage Level 4 cultivators. Just as he expected, the direction that Mo Wuji flew in was where Jian Wei sliced downwards with his ring blade. It seemed as though Mo Wuji was delivered to right below the ring blade. But only both Lu Ping and Jian Wei knew that it was not the case. Instead, their original plan was to send Mo Wuji flying to that exact point. "Clang!" The sound of weapons clashing rang out, and Jian Wei immediately sensed that something was wrong. Based on their plan, after Lu Ping forced Mo Wuji back, he would have backed up into the ring blade, and this was what happened. Mo Wuji indeed got blown back by Lu Ping, and was beneath the ring blade. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji would have been sliced into two, and Jian Wei even made preparations to withdraw his strength. After all, Mo Wuji had humiliated his young master, and he had to let his young master return the favor, even before doing any killing. However, the sound of metal hitting metal made him feel something was up, and Jian Wei could clearly see what had happened. A metal pole appeared on the back of Mo Wuji, who was lying down, and it was nearly stuck together with his back. Mo Wuji¡¯s pole had obviously been blown away by Lu Ping, so how could it have gotten behind Mo Wuji? This is not good. This guy did not get blown over here, but he moved here intentionally. As Jian Wei just thought of this, a faint white light flickered before his eyes. How could he, who had originally viewed Mo Wuji as a dead man, have thought that Mo Wuji would attack with full force at this time? The next moment, he felt as though his heart was being torn apart, and the pain caused him to blackout. Chapter 167: I Told You Not To Disturb Me Chapter 167: I Told You Not To Disturb Me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The excruciating pain from his heart crushing sheeted through his body as Jian Wei was no longer able to muster any elemental energy, directly crashing heavily into the ground. At the same time, blood splurted out of Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth. He had used his Tian Ji Pole to defend his back from Jian Wei¡¯s ring blade, but the strength of a Spirit Building Middle Stage¡¯s elemental energy was truly too much. Even after using the Revolving Star Passage Technique to transfer some of the force into the ground, the shock still quaked into his internal organs. This caused Mo Wuji to have some lingering fear; he was initially intending to simply use the Heaven Crow natural silk armour to defend against the attack, while he used the Tian Ji Pole to ambush Lu Ping. Luckily, he did not do so. If he did, he might have ended up like Jian Wei, lying lifelessly on the ground. "Ha ha¡­" the luxurious robed youth¡¯s unrestrained laughter stopped abruptly. He saw Jian Wei spitting blood and falling onto the ground, the light disappearing from his eyes. What the f*ck happened? Before the luxurious robed youth could make sense of the situation, the pole in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand had already gone smashing towards Lu Ping¡¯s waist. Lu Ping was also scared senseless as he saw Jian Wei crash onto the ground. He was only jolted alway when Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole came swinging over. The long whip in his hand turned into a steel spear which met with Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole in midair. Elemental energy erupted; Mo Wuji was sent flying, he crashed into a huge tree and slid down slowly, as he coughed out large mouthfuls of blood. "That¡¯s not possible, you¡¯re not even in the Spirit Building Stage, how could you¡­" With another confrontation, Lu Ping could clearly feel that Mo Wuji had yet to reach the Spirit Building Stage. That¡¯s because Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy did not have structure of Spirit Building elemental energy What shocked him more was that Mo Wuji¡¯s Channel Opening elemental energy was no weaker than Spirit Building elemental energy. How could the Channel Opening Stage be so strong? Even the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s peerless disciples did not have such terrifying strength at the Channel Opening Stage. "Hurry, kill him, kill him¡­" The luxurious robed youth saw Mo Wuji get sent flying by Lu Ping and immediately started to cheer frantically. Lu Ping immediately came to his senses; he knew that now was not a time to be shocked and impressed, but a time to restrain Mo Wuji. However, he was truly afraid and did not dare approach Mo Wuji; the long whip in his hand swirled towards Mo Wuji. The coalition between Jian Wei and him would even cause Spirit Building Late Stage cultivators to suffer. It wasn¡¯t because the sum of their individual powers was higher than Spirit Building Stage Level 7 cultivators, but because of their strategies and schemes. Simply put, they were more cunning than their opponent. But in the two¡¯s single clash with Mo Wuji, Jian Wei had already been injured heavily, and his current condition was undeterminable. That was far too scary. Ostensibly, this outer disciple was no less cunning than the two of them, he might even be more. He was willing to accept Jian Wei¡¯s blow just to eliminate one of them. In actuality, Mo Wuji had succeeded. If Lu Ping had known that this fella was so scheming, he and Jian Wei would not have been so careless. They would have fought more cautiously and stably; this outer disciple definitely would not be able to escape from their grasps. Facing such a scheming outer disciple who also had such peculiar strength, Lu Ping truly did not dare to approach Mo Wuji. As Lu Ping¡¯s long whip came looping over, Mo Wuji could only barely lift his Tian Ji Pole to defend against Lu Ping¡¯s whip. "Peng!" Lu Ping¡¯s long whip easily sent Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole flying, and slapped Mo Wuji¡¯s body. "Kacha!" A stinging pain shot through Mo Wuji¡¯s body. The huge tree at Mo Wuji¡¯s back was also ripped apart by Lu Ping¡¯s whip. Mo Wuji was wrapped within Lu Ping¡¯s whip and was lifted up into the air. Hearing the crackling sounds of Mo Wuji¡¯s breaking bones, Lu Ping faintly heaved a sigh of relief. Not bad. This fella is just a little shit, it¡¯s just that he was a little tough at the start. Maybe Jian Wei¡¯s strike caused some serious internal damage. Otherwise, he might not have been so easy to deal with. As Mo Wuji was brought up into the air with Lu Ping¡¯s whip, the luxurious robed youth¡¯s lips curved into a devious smile. He pulled out his sword, awaiting for Mo Wuji to fall in front of him. That¡¯s when he would slowly use his sword to cut Mo Wuji¡¯s limbs off one at a time. Mo Wuji did suffer some heavy damage from Jian Wei¡¯s attack. However, it was not to a degree where he could not even defend from Lu Ping¡¯s whip. After all, he still had the Heaven Crow natural silk armour. He wanted Lu Ping to pick him up. Even if Lu Ping¡¯s guard was up, if Lu Ping were to pick him up and hear the sounds of his bones breaking, Lu Ping would come to believe that he was in full control of the situation. Raging elemental energy came surging along the whip, attempting to break Mo Wuji¡¯s waist apart. As Mo Wuji¡¯s already fractured bones got subjected to this formidable pressure, the torturous pain he experienced was over 9000. However, Mo Wuji could endure it; he had experienced worse pains before, and didn¡¯t he still have the Heaven Crow natural silk armour protecting him? With the Heaven Crow natural silk armour bearing the brunt of the elemental energy, Mo Wuji¡¯s two hands formed some complex hand seals and he punched forward with his fists. "Ha Ha Ha¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji still attempt to punch Lu Ping despite being wrapped by Lu Ping¡¯s whip, the luxurious robed youth could not help but chortle. Even though Lu Ping did not know what Mo Wuji was up to, he had a foreboding sense of impending doom. He subconsciously released his whip and started to retreat backwards. Mo Wuji¡¯s previous performance was far too shocking; even as Lu Ping worked together with Jian Wei, Mo Wuji still managed to turn the tables and struck Jian Wei. Lu Ping¡¯s reaction speed could not be considered slow, but he was still a step late. A deep, inundating fear completely overwhelmed his entire body. Not good¡­ Lu Ping no longer cared about his whip and immediately retreated. "Hong!" A bolt of blue lightning exploded on his chest. As the smells of his burnt clothes and fresh blood mixed, the air turned a little cold. Lu Ping was sent flying by this lightning bolt. He also crashed against a huge tree. He lowered his head to see a fist-sized hole in his chest, fresh blood endlessly flowed out from it. Run away, run away. This was the only thought which ran through Lu Ping¡¯s mind. At this moment, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t some outer sect mountain trash, but a demon which was lurking within the shadows. He had never seen such a horrifying Channel Opening Stage disciple; this Channel Opening Stage disciple was far too cunning and resilient. This sort of battle method was simply at the risk of losing his own life. On a one on one battle, he wouldn¡¯t have imagined losing to a Channel Opening Stage opponent. With him and Jian Wei joining hands, the probability of losing should have gone to zero. But now, Jian Wei might already be dead, and if he did not run away now, he would end up like Jian Wei. At this instant, his heart only contained intense fear. "Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa!" Lu Ping¡¯s heart turned cold, and his previous courage disappeared without a trace. Just as he turned his back, five bolts of lightning exploded by his side. It was as though his intentions of running away were revealed, this five lightning bolts locked all his escape routes down. These five lightning bolts were not as thick and strong as the previous one. But Lu Ping was heavily injured, and was anxiously trying to escape, how could he care about determining the lightning bolts¡¯ strength. He raised his hand to produce a talisman; instantly, the surroundings started turning hazy. This was a Grade 5 Fog Talisman, it was mainly used to escape. Lu Ping was sure that with this talisman, Mo Wuji would no longer be able to see him. By the time the surroundings cleared, he already be miles away. The next time he met Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be so passive. "Peng!" "Kacha¡­ Ah¡­" Lu Ping just changed his direction and ran for a few meters before a steel pole crashed against his ribs. With the surging elemental energy, his waist was directly ripped apart. Lu Ping could not help but mournfully cry aloud. How is that possible, how is that possible? How did this fella know that I changed directions. This is a Grade 5 Fog Talisman ah. This was not some trash you could find by the side of the street. Before his thoughts could continue to wander, an icy cold feeling slit past his neck. Lu Ping¡¯s mind went black, never to think again. He would never have thought that his life would end here, nor would he have thought that it would end by the hands of a Channel Opening Stage outer disciple. The last thing he would have thought was that his Fog Talisman ended helping Mo Wuji and not him. Mo Wuji had spiritual will; what he could not see could be seen clearly by Mo WUji. Mo Wuji walked out of Lu Ping¡¯s Fog Talisman area, and dragged his Tian Ji Pole towards the luxurious robed youth. "You can¡¯t touch me. I¡¯m the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate¡¯s Jin Jiuzhen. I¡¯m a genius with supreme grade spiritual roots. And.. and¡­" "Ai!" Without waiting for Jin Jiuzhen to finish speaking, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole crushed Jin Jiuzhen¡¯s skull. Before Jin Jiuzhen¡¯s life ended, he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, "I told you not to disturb me. Since you chose not to listen to me, you can stop listening¡­" Killing three people at one go, Mo Wuji knew that he needed to get out of here as soon as possible. Multiple bones at his waist had been ruptured by Lu Ping¡¯s whip. Fortunately, he was especially pain-tolerant, and he was a pill refiner. He had more than enough pills on him, so there was nothing to fear. After swallowing some pills, Mo Wuji chucked the bodies of Lu Ping, Jian Wei and Jin Jiuzhen into a forest. At the same time, he started a fire. Even though the Heaven Seeking Palace could trace this back to him, he still had to destroy the corpses. Mo Wuji did not take anything from Jin Jiuzhen¡¯s storage bag. He did not even search what was inside. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want those things, but because his cultivation was too low. What if an expert left an imprint on it? He might get tracked without even knowing it. ¡­ It was two hours time when Mo Wuji reappeared within Heaven Seeking City. The Heaven Seeking Station was like Earth¡¯s airports and train stations. There were an eclectic range of flying ships, flying beast carriages, and ordinary beast carriages. From here, you could head off to anywhere you wanted. "Friend, where are you going? I have all kinds of flying beast carriages here. They¡¯re cheaper than ordinary beast carriages, and they¡¯re fast and cheap." As Mo Wuji stepped foot onto the station¡¯s ticket counter, a cultivator eagerly introduced him to their services. He saw the lack of spiritual ripples around Mo Wuji, and knew that Mo Wuji would not be able to afford flying ships. Thus, he directly Mo Wuji to the various flying beast carriages. This cultivator had worked in this station for several years, and his judgement was usually right. Most of the time, he would make the best and accurate introductions. Unfortunately, his judgement was wrong today as Mo Wuji laughed, "May I ask, what¡¯s the fastest way to get to the Lost Sky Ruins?" Lost Sky Ruins? This cultivator was soon to react, and said hastily, "You can only get to the Lost Sky Ruins on a major flying ship, and it would take at least one month. However, the price of a flying ship is extremely high. It would require approximately 10,000 Earth grade spirit stones." Mo Wuji retrieved his spirit stone card and said, "I want to buy a ticket to the fastest flying ship to the Lost Sky Continent." Straightforward! This cultivator was still thinking that Mo Wuji was simply asking around. He did not expect that Mo Wuji would really pay the spirit stones, and when he paid, he did not even ask for the price. "An hour later, the Wen Luohao Flying Ship will be heading to the Lost Sky Ruins. Friend, you can use this ticket to start boarding the ship," The cultivator efficiently picked up a jade ship ticket and passed it to Mo Wuji. Chapter 168: Lost Sky Ruins’ Underground Transaction Chapter 168: Lost Sky Ruins¡¯ Underground Transaction Translator: Sparrow_Editor: Sparrow_ Mo Wuji easily spotted the Wen Luohao flying ship on the square the moment he walked out of the ticketing station. The gigantic words ¡®Wen Luohao¡¯ were very conspicuous, coupled with the fact that the flying ship was the biggest of all the flying ships there. Mo Wuji only realised that he needed to show the ticket to enter his allocated room after he boarded the flying ship. This was because he was not given an allocated room number for his previous two experiences on board a flying ship. The first time he boarded a transfer ship with Zhen Shaoke and Co. The second time was when he was headed towards the Heaven Seeking Palace and because that ship was bigger with lesser people on board, they were not very particular about the allocation of rooms. His room number was 121 and it was located on a lower level. Room 121 was neither the worst nor the best room available but it could be considered to be of a slightly below average quality. Mo Wuji was extremely relieved that he was staying alone. It seemed as though the cultivator did not think Mo Wuji would actually stay in that room when he had quoted such a high price for it. The moment Mo Wuji entered his room, he shut the door and put up the ''Do Not Disturb'' sign. No matter what happened for the time being, he would not go back to the Heaven Seeking Palace and wanted to avoid being seen by people he knew. The Wen Luohao flying ship was very punctual as it set off into the clouds exactly one hour later. Mo Wuji could finally relax after the flying ship left the Heaven Seeking City. At least it was not like the previous time when he was chased by Second Elder Xu up until the Fringe City. Mo Wuji decided to spend this one month cultivating until he reached Channel Opening Stage Level 10 as he retrieved a bunch of spirit stones and piled it up beside him. After he opened 99 meridians, Mo Wuji was capable of absorbing spiritual energy like a whale consuming water, swift and explosive. As a Channel Opening Stage cultivator being able to absorb spiritual energy at such incredible speeds, it would be impossible for his cultivation to be slow, especially with this many spirit stones available for him to used. Within a few days, Mo Wuji managed to advance into the later stage of Channel Opening Stage Level 10. On the tenth day on board this ship, Mo Wuji managed to advance to the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage Level 10 without facing any difficulties. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he believed that he probably wouldn''t need to cultivate anymore before he reached the Spirit Building Stage, as he was already at the Great Circle of the Channel Opening Stage Level 10. Just as Mo Wuji was keeping the excess spirit stones, his cultivation level increased yet again. This made Mo Wuji so frightened that he stood up. He was frightened because what he wanted was not to enter the Spirit Building Stage. Even if he wanted to, he did not want to enter it now. Why would he want to enter the Spirit Building Stage before finding the Sky Channel Flower? If he were to break through now, it would mean that he would be giving up the opportunity to open the 100th meridian. However, whether or not he would break through to the next stage was not something Mo Wuji could control. After reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 10, strong vigorous elemental energy ripped open a whole new realm. Just at the moment the new realm was being ripped open, Mo Wuji threw away his previous thoughts to concentrate solely on absorbing the spiritual energy. Since heaven decided that he would not be able to open his 100th meridian, he would continue cultivating and settle for the Spirit Building Stage. The moment he broke into the new realm, the surge of vigorous elemental energy made Mo Wuji incredibly excited. However, he still felt that something was amiss. This was not the Spirit Building Stage. Instead, it was Channel Opening Stage Level 11. Mo Wuji was dumbfounded as he heard that only after reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 10, Spirit Building Stage Level 10 and Transcending Mortality Stage Level 10 would one be able to break into the Extreme Mortal Stage. However, he had never heard of a level 11 for the Channel Opening Stage. What was going on? While his Immortal Mortal Technique was still absorbing the spiritual energy, his cultivation level was continuously on the rise too. Mo Wuji bit his tongue as he took out a bunch of spirit stones and continued cultivating. Since he did not know anything, he decided to just continue his mindless cultivation. Just like that another half a month passed and as Mo Wuji was feeling at the pinnacle of the realm, he broke into yet another realm unsurprisingly. Channel Opening Stage Level 12¡­ As his strength continued to soar up, Mo Wuji was not as excited as he was the first time round because he was already numb to excitement. Advance then advance, I don''t believe I will keep advancing at the Channel Opening Stage. If not for the fact that he had exhausted all of the spirit stones available, Mo Wuji was intending to continue cultivating. He was very interested to see just how many levels he could break into within the Channel Opening Stage. Since he first entered his room on the flying ship, Mo Wuji had not left his room. Mo Wuji estimated that they would reach the Lost Sky Ruins in just a few days¡¯ time. Even though he could use his spirit stone card to exchange for spirit stones on board the flying ship, Mo Wuji was not intending on doing so as he had no intentions of showing himself. There were still over 20 days and Mo Wuji made up his mind to research on Chu Xingzi¡¯s knowledge of the Array Dao. Mo Wuji had seen how a Sky Channel Flower looked like from the . As for thisbook, Mo Wuji had no intention on spending time to look through it yet. After copying Chu Xingzi¡¯s work at the icy mountain, he hadn¡¯t had the time to read up on it. Mo Wuji was a person who learned things very quickly. Regardless of what it was, if he were serious about it, he would be able to absorb everything easily. This was the same whether he was on earth or here. Five days went by and Mo Wuji did not feel anything. When the alarm in his room sounded off and his door opened on its own, Mo Wuji knew that they had reached the Lost Sky Ruins. As Mo Wuji walked out of his room, he saw a crowd of people walking down from the flying ship. Just how many spirit stones is this flying ship earning from a single trip like this? As he followed the crowd out of the flying ship, Mo Wuji was amazed at the size of the Lost Sky City. Or rather, the Lost Sky meeting place. There were many multistoreys buildings as well as roadside stalls. Mo Wuji even noticed some people who took a furnace to set up a stall and established their services to help people to refine their equipments. As Mo Wuji walked through this Lost Sky City, he realised that this was just like a provision market. They literally sold everything here that you could or could not think of. Mo Wuji chose to enter a shop that was not too big because the bigger the building, the more conspicuous it would be. What he needed now was not to look conspicuous. "This lord, may I ask if you need anything? Our prices are very affordable given the fact that all the things we sell are genuine," the shop assistant looked really young with a sharp tongue. Mo Wuji guessed that he should at most be in the later stages of the Channel Opening Stage. Mo Wuji immediate ignored the shop assistant¡¯s second part of his sentence, "I am looking for the updated map of the Lost Sky Ruins. I would also need the general location of the place where the production of spiritual objects are." The shop assistant hurried to reply, "So this lord wants to head towards the Lost Sky Ruins. Would you want to purchase the better ones or the average ones?" Mo Wuji replied with a puzzled look, "Of course I would want to purchase the better ones." The shop assistant said in a softer voice, "Not trying to hide from you, but lord, all the maps sold by the stalls or even the commercial buildings here are all of fairly average quality. If you want to purchase the best maps and even the general location of the rarest spiritual objects, you have to go to the underground market here at the Lost Sky Ruins!" "Underground market?" Mo Wuji had no clue what this was about. The shop assistant softened his voice even further, "The underground market is Lord Mang¡¯s turf, while the market you are in now belongs to Tian Xumeng. Because of the lesser crowds in the underground market, Lord Mang sells only top grade items. Poorer quality items are not allowed into that market as only the best quality items could be brought in to be transacted there. Without saying, the items at the underground market would be slightly more expensive." Mo Wuji sighed as this was indeed someone¡¯s turf. He reached out his hand to pass the shop assistant a jade vase, "It must be tough for you working here. There are six Earth Yuan Pills inside. Would it be possible for you to bring me to the underground market?" The moment the shop assistant saw Mo Wuji¡¯s offer of six Earth Yuan Pills, his hand was trembling and he nearly dropped the jade vase. All he needed to do was to lead the way and even half an Earth Yuan Pill would be too much of a tip. However, this unknown customer actually offered six Tier 4 Earth Yuan Pills right from the beginning. This could not be fake right? The shop assistant opened the jade vase the moment he thought of it. Almost instantaneously, he could tell that the pills inside the jade vase were genuine. As a shop assistant, he could easily tell the difference between a genuine and a fake pill. "This, this¡­" the six genuine Earth Yuan Pills muddled the shop assistant. Initially he knew that selling a simple map would not earn him much spirit stones, so he wanted to make use of the opportunity to lead the way to earn extra spirit stones. However, to get such a reward, it was simply a little too unbelievable. As a Tier 4 Pill Refiner himself, these six pills meant nothing to Mo Wuji. He was not acting generous because after entering the Lost Sky Ruins, he had to protect his own life wherever he went. By giving this shop assistant something that meant nothing to himself, he could be rest assured that this shop assistant would not go against him. As long as this shop assistant could bring him to purchase the authentic map, he could very possibly save this small life of his. This fella struck his chest as he said, "Lord, don''t you worry. I will bring you to the best shop to purchase the most valued items," The shop assistant was experienced enough to know the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s offer of six healing pills. ¡­ Mo Wuji naturally understood the underground market. It was not literally underground but very few people knew of it because anything not transacted on the surface would be considered as an underground transaction. It was only when the shop assistant brought Mo Wuji to the actual underground market that he realised that his understanding was off the mark. The underground market here was literally underground. Under the guidance of this shop assistant, Mo Wuji entered the underground market from a hidden place. This market was located about over 60 metres underneath the surface and Mo Wuji could tell that there were quite a number of people here. As for the actual size of the area, Mo Wuji could not tell because the surroundings were only illuminated by dim lights, even with the illumination stones, it seemed like the lights were set up to hide something. As for the Illumination Array on the illumination stones, Mo Wuji did not even notice any of it. There was an endless stream of cultivators transacting here without causing any noise or commotion. It was as though everyone was abiding to a rule to transact and leave quietly. The shop assistant brought Mo Wuji to a shop whose lights were dimmer than the lights of the surrounding shops and then whispered to Mo Wuji, "This is Honest Qi¡¯s shop and the things he sell are definitely authentic. If lord were to purchase what you need from here, you will definitely not lose out." "Thank you, please carry on with what you need to do," Mo Wuji patted his shoulder as he thanked the shop assistant. "Great," The shop assistant saw how satisfied Mo Wuji was with his guidance hence, he replied ecstatically and then disappeared into the darkness. Chapter 169: Hidden Expert or a Scammer Chapter 169: Hidden Expert or a Scammer Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - ¡®Honest Qi¡¯s Provision Shop¡¯ were the few words displayed. If one did not focus enough to see the words, he might not be able to see it. An elder with a messy beard was at the corner of the shop hammering something. As Mo Wuji walked in, he lifted his head and grinned at Mo Wuji showing a mouth full of black teeth. Mo Wuji lifted his head to scan the surroundings. He could not tell whether the things hanging all over the walls were spiritual or magic equipments. The dusky lighting was not helping the cause. Other than these, there was a cabinet filled with holes which contained a few old porcelain vases of which Mo Wuji had no idea whether it was used to hold medicinal pills or anything other items. The more ridiculous thing was that at the bottom shelf of this cabinet, there were over ten dried spiritual herbs which were all covered in dust. This method of preserving the spiritual herbs was evidently ruining it. Mo Wuji rubbed his forehead a few times as he suspected that the shop assistant was being ungrateful after accepting his six Earth Yuan pills. Mo Wuji could not believe that he was brought here and to think the shop assistant still mentioned that the items here at Honest Qi¡¯s Provision Shop were the most authentic. Elder suddenly spoke, "Feel free to look around. If you see anything you¡¯re interested in, I will give you a discount for it." Mo Wuji was speechless as he took a step back. Just as he was preparing to leave this shop, he suddenly realised something at the corner of his eyes. His eyes fell once again on the dried spiritual herbs placed on the lowest shelf of the cabinet. A spiritual herb that looked like a stick attracted his attention. Even though it was dried up, the aura emitted from the spiritual herb felt very familiar. Mo Wiji recognised what it was in no time. It was the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus which he had many of it with him. The Purple Jade Toad Lotus was a Tier 7 spiritual herb and it was very rare. Mo Wuji knew very clearly why he was able to open 99 meridians. It was mainly because of the effectiveness of his channel opening solution. If he did not have the Purple Jade Toad Lotus strips and continued using the Treasured Blood Lotus strips, would he still have been able to open 99 meridians? It was recorded in Mo Xue¡¯s that the Purple Jade Toad Lotus was the best spiritual ingredient for spirit channel opening and recovery purposes. This was a treasure every cultivator yearned for and yet it was treated like trash being thrown to the bottom of the cabinet by this elder. Mo Wuji forcefully controlled himself from using his spiritual energy to look around. If that was truly the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus, then this Honest Qi was definitely not honest. Things could go really wrong if he were to find out about Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. He withdrew his step backwards as he scanned through all four directions once again. Only after a while did he feign hesitation to ask, "Shopkeeper Qi, I want to visit the Lost Sky Ruins but because of my low ability, I would like to purchase some items which could increase my chances of survival there. However, I really cannot see anything good here¡­" Honest Qi supported his knee as he struggled to stand up before chuckling at Mo Wuji. He casually took out a locker from the cabinet filled with holes. The moment the locker was pulled out, the surrounding was suffused with dust. Honest Qi had no reaction as he retrieved a vase of medicinal pills from the locker before saying, "This is the most powerful antidote pill. There are poisons everywhere in the Lost Sky Ruins and only my antidote pill would be able to detoxify the poison. The price is 260,000 Earth grade spirit stones." Mo Wuji breathed in a mouthful of cold air as he was wondering why would he spend 260,000 Earth grade spirit stones to purchase an antidote pill when he had a lot of it with him? It was not as if he was crazy. Honest Qi took out a piece of torn paper from yet another locker the moment he finished his sentence, "This is the most powerful Group Assault Talisman I have here and you can lock your target and finish any opponent with it, no matter how strong he is. This only costs 310,000 Earth grade spirit stones¡­" 310,000 Earth grade spirit stones is cheaper than 260,000 Earth grade spirit stones? Just as Honest Qi was about to open yet another locker, Mo Wuji hurried to stop him before saying, "Shopkeeper Qi, I have my own antidote pills and I doubt I can get used to using a talisman. I was actually wondering if you have any map of the Lost Sky Ruins or rather¡­ the general location of the place where they produce the treasured spiritual objects in the Lost Sky Ruins itself¡­" "I have this too, hold on¡­" Honest Qi kept taking out lockers after lockers from the cabinet to check. Mo Wuji would never have known that there were so many lockers in this old cabinet if Honest Qi did not take these out one after another. After retrieving seven to eight lockers, Honest Qi then took out a piece of leather map as well as a booklet, "This is the best map of the entire Lost Sky Ruins as I am confident there will not be a more complete map than this. This booklet recorded down the location of the various treasured spiritual objects in the Lost Sky Ruins. They are both very cheap, only¡­" Honest Qi described every item as the best or the most powerful that Mo Wuji was already immune to it. Before Honest Qi could finish speaking, he interrupted, "Shopkeeper Qi, may I flip through the book first?" Mo Wuji said as he pointed to the booklet, he wanted to see if there was any mention of the Sky Channel Flower in the booklet itself. To him, the most important thing in the Lost Sky Ruins would be the Sky Channel Flower. Honest Qi laughed cheekily, "It is not impossible for you to flip through the booklet. However, I will only allow you to flip through if you purchase one of the items I introduced earlier." Mo Wuji became speechless momentarily. How is this guy honest at all? He is scarily scheming. However, he was really interested in seeing if there was the Sky Flower Channel in the booklet hence, he replied, "Shopkeeper Qi, I have some spirit stones with me now but these are for my cultivation...Is it possible for me to purchase just one of your antidote pill?" Of all the items Honest Qi introduced, the antidote pill was the cheapest. Honest Qi frowned and contemplated for a while before showing a stern face saying, "Since this is the case, I shall let you flip through the book if you purchase just one antidote pill. Seeing how poor you are, I will give you a discount on the price of the pill too so it will only cost 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones." The fella could flip his face faster than he flip a book. Mo Wuji was secretly scolding this old fella in his heart because he originally charged him a vase of 12 pills for 260,000 spirit stones and now he charged 1 pill for 30,000 spirit stones. Even though his intention was to ultimately flip the booklet, Mo Wuji was still feeling very unhappy with the old fella. If he did not see the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus and believed that this Honest Qi might really have good things, Mo Wuji would have turned around and left long ago. "Alright, 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones then. However, I have to say this first. I would not really be just flipping through the booklet, I have to at least look through every page of the booklet briefly," having experienced Honest Qi¡¯s cunningness, Mo Wuji had to say this before he paid. He had seen so many of such traps within sentences. Honest Qi was surprised at Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to detect the trap he set up within his sentence before saying, "No, I will at most let you flip through thrice." Mo Wuji could not believe it. If he did not mention this trap, he would have suffered losses once again. "Since this is the case, the deal is off and I will patronise the other shops," Mo Wuji turned and left after saying that. He started to suspect that the rhizome of the Purple Jade Toad Lotus could have been placed there as a trap by the old fella. Also, the house covered with dust could have been on purpose too to make it seem like it was hidden from the world to attract people who knew their business. This was unlikely too because if it was not for the fact that he had obtained a Purple Jade Lotus before, he would have not been able to recognise that as its rhizome. "Alright, I will let you flip through five times. If you are still not agreeable, please leave," Honest Qi halted Mo Wuji by shouting. Maybe this fella was really a hidden expert. Mo Wuji took out the 30,000 spirit stones with a little reluctance as he used it to purchase a jet black pill from Honest Qi who refused to even provide him a vase to store the pill. Fortunately, Mo Wuji did not mind as he casually threw the pill into his storage bag. He was simply too excited to grab that booklet. "Remember, five flips only and you¡¯re not allowed to stop at any page¡­" Honest Qi exhorted Mo Wuji before using both eyes to stare at Mo Wuji¡¯s hand just in case he refused to listen to him and flipped one extra time. Mo Wuji looked at the booklet and realised that it had at most six to seven pages only. By flipping five pages, he would have covered most of the content in the booklet. Mo Wuji did not bother looking at the first two pages because for something as unique as the Sky Channel Flower, it would definitely not appear in the front few pages. Mo Wuji opened the third page straightaway and saw Pneumatic Falling Bamboo, Purple Plum Fruit, Deep Soul Crystal... So many different kinds of weird shaped treasure appeared in the two pages which Mo Wuji had never heard of before. However, as long as the treasure was written down, the booklet would pinpoint out the general location of it in the Lost Sky Ruins without any exception. In actual fact, Mo Wuji needed something like this. This gave Mo Wuji a confidence boost as he was starting to believe that this old fella was actually acting like a pig to eat a tiger. [1] Flipping through the fourth and fifth page¡­ Mo Wuji still did not see the Sky Channel Flower. As Mo Wuju flipped to the next page, he was wondering if he should put a question mark on this booklet if he still did not see the Sky Channel Flower. This was because even without asking, Mo Wuji knew that Honest Qi¡¯s items would definitely not be cheap. However, just as he opened the sixth page, Mo Wuji spotted the Sky Channel Flower. If not for his vast experience, Mo Wuji would not have been able to contain his excitement. Mo Wuji had experienced more shocking incidents in the past for example, being reborn into a new world, the opening of his first meridian, the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, etc. For a small incident like this, Mo Wuji was still able to control his emotions. The scheming Honest Qi would notice even his slightest signs of excitement. If Honest Qi was to find out about his purpose, he would definitely increase the price of the booklet. Even if he did not raise the price, Mo Wuji did not wish to let Honest Qi know what he wanted. Whether or not Honest Qi was acting like a pig to eat a tiger, his thirst for spirit stones was definitely real. It was a real pity because the location of the Sky Channel Flower was too complicated, coupled with the fact that his hand was not allowed to stop at this page. Moreover, Mo Wuji did not wish to use his spiritual will in front of Honest Qi which was why he could only glance through it. Carrying an undetectable disappointment, Mo Wuji flipped to the page 7... Mo Wuji was confident that Honest Qi would be able to tell his disappointment even if other people was unable to tell. Just as he flipped open the page 7, the shop assistant who previously brought Mo Wuji over to this shop came rushing back into the shop. When he stood at the entrance of the shop and noticed that Mo Wuji had not left, he gave Mo Wuji a worried look. [1] : Acting like a pig to eat a tiger is the direct translation for a chinese idiom to say that one is pretending to be weak in order for his opponents to lower their defence against him before defeating them easily. Chapter 170: Honest Qi’s Schemes Chapter 170: Honest Qi¡¯s Schemes Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji was sure that the shop assistant had something important for him. If not, he wouldn¡¯t rush over so hastily and show Mo Wuji such a worried expression. Putting the booklet in his hand away, Mo Wuji said apologetically, "Shopkeeper Qi, this isn''t really useful to me. I think I will take a look elsewhere, thank you¡­" "Don''t be too hasty, there are still two pages you had yet to see. Perhaps something might interest you within those pages¡­" It was as Mo Wuji predicted; Honest Qi might look indifferent towards the sale, but as Mo Wuji wanted to leave, he immediately became anxious. Mo Wuji changed to speak in a solemn tone, "Shopkeeper Qi, honestly, your price is a little too high¡­" "The map and this spiritual object manual for just 50,000 Earth grade spirit stones¡­" Honest Qi hurriedly said. This time, Mo Wuji could even hear his anxious heart pounding. Mo Wuji discovered that the shop assistant, who was standing by the door, was giving him meaningful glances. Mo Wuji became more puzzled, what exactly was going on? "20,000 Earth grade spirit stones. If you accept that price, I will immediately hand over the spirit stones. If not, then I''m leaving." Mo Wuji acted a little impatiently. Perhaps that shop assistant helped Mo Wuji; Honest Qi also saw the shop assistant''s expression. He gritted his black teeth and placed the two things in Mo Wuji''s hands, "I''ll sell, why wouldn''t I sell¡­" Mo Wuji swiped his spirit stone card and casually threw the two things into his storage bag before leaving. Just as Mo Wuji left, a gap appeared at the back of shop with a "Jiya" sound and a grey robed woman walked out. "How was it? What did that little fella want? Was he looking for the Sky Channel Flower?" The moment she appeared, the woman started barraging Honest Qi with questions. Honest Qi replied with his mouth full black teeth revealed, "I''m not sure whether he is looking for the Sky Channel Flower, this little fella is too smart. Towards the end, I intentionally acted like I wasn''t anxious about the deal [1], and I could infer that he truly needed something from the spiritual object manual, it''s highly likely that he is looking for the Sky Channel Flower. However, there''s also this possibility that he bought it unintentionally." "Pui!" The woman''s spit landed on top of Honest Qi''s head, "Idiot! When he turned to the page 6, there was a slight fluctuation in his emotions. Even this old lady could hear it, you old idiot. He bought it unintentionally? Would he have taken out 20,000 Earth grade spirit stones then?" Honest Qi snickered, " He is definitely a young master not lacking in spirit stones. He had a treasure which masks his spirituality. With such a treasure, would you say that he is lacking in spirit stones?" The woman went silent; if that person truly had some spirituality masking treasure, then he really was a wealthy young master. A short moment later, "Did you leave an imprint on his things?" "Rest assured, I left imprints on everything. Also, that Solitary Dark Pill definitely isn¡¯t blind. If he goes to that place, he would definitely use the Solitary Dark Pill, and I would notice it the moment the Solitary Dark Pill is used," Honest Qi said pridefully. ¡­ "That Honest Qi you introduced is not honest at all. His things are far too expensive. The moment Mo Wuji walked out of Honest Qi''s shop, he lamented to the shop assistant standing outside. Even though he was satisfied that he found the whereabouts of the Sky Channel Flower, the price he got it for was simply astronomical. The shop assistant hurriedly said, "Honest Qi¡¯s things might be expensive, but they are definitely worth it. I don''t know about his other goods, but another customer I brought to Honest Qi purchased a spiritual object manual. In the end, that customer was extremely satisfied with his purchase, he even rewarded me and praised my astute recommendation." As he heard this sentence, Mo Wuji suddenly had a strange feeling. There was some fleeting thought which he wished to grab, but he couldn''t seem to catch hold of it. "Oh right, why did you come and find me so anxiously?" Mo Wuji suddenly wondered about the reason for this shop assistant¡¯s hasty arrival. The shop assistant was also reminded of his initial intention, and he immediately pulled Mo Wuji to the side and whispered in his ear, "Friend, I just saw a wanted poster, and the person looks a lot like you..." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding faster; he had expected to go under suspicions for killing Jin Jiuzhen, but he did not expect that a wanted poster will appear so soon. His had just set foot on the Lost Sky Ruins, and the wanted poster also followed him over. Perhaps this wanted poster didn¡¯t simply appear in the Lost Sky Ruins, but all other cities as well. That Jin Jiuzhen wasn¡¯t bragging; he was truly an important figure of the Dao Gate. The Dao Gate was the number one faction in the Heaven Seeking Palace, it was superior to the Pill Pagoda and the Sword Lake. "Senior, I will take you out from the back door," The shop assistant said softly. "Alright, many thanks," Mo Wuji knew that this shop assistant definitely wanted some form of remuneration for this act of notification. More importantly, it was also his six Earth Yuan Pills taking effect. There truly was such a thing as karma, even an insignificant shop assistant would be of such great help to him. The shop assistant brought Mo Wuji to circle around the underground market for more than ten rounds before pointing to a passage, "Senior can follow this passage to reach the outside of Lost Sky City. I cannot follow you as I need to follow the previous route." Mo Wuji retrieved a jade vase and passed it to the shop assistant, "This is for you, thanks for guiding me." With that, Mo Wuji hurriedly rushed into that passage, and soon disappeared. He had already scanned the passage with his spiritual sense and confirmed that this shop assistant wasn¡¯t lying to him. This was a genuine passage to leave the underground market. Emerging from the underground market, Mo Wuji did not return to the crowded and bustling Lost Sky City. Instead, he picked a direction and started running. As he ran, he opened the map he purchased from Honest Qi. Half a day later, Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him was a barren wasteland; it was a desert with no end. According to his map, this desert was within the boundaries of the Lost Sky Ruins. Mo Wuji kept his map and discovered that he did not bring any water. However, he was already in Channel Opening Stage Level 12, he would not die of thirst right? Someone was hunting him, all the way to the Lost Sky City. He definitely couldn¡¯t go back to get water. Mo Wuji simply entered the desert, and soon disappeared within the yellow sands of the desert. ... Thousands of miles away, in the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate Hall, Jin Yu, a Dao Gate elder, had an especially ugly expression on his face. His most favoured clan member, Jin Jiuzhen, was actually killed. Furthermore, he was killed on his way to the Heaven Seeking City. How could this not anger him? One must know that he had specially brought Jin Jiuzhen from his clan to Heaven Seeking Palace. "The person who killed Jiuzhen must definitely be from our sect. Others wouldn¡¯t act on him there, nor would they even dare. I wish to investigate on all cultivators from the Spirit Building Stage and above, and I hope that the Dao Lord can support me in this," Jin Yu clasped his fists and said towards a clean shaven man sitting at the head chair. His words were firm and resolute. The clean shaven man was the Dao Lord of the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate, Qu Jiangyuan. He was different from the Pill Pagoda¡¯s Granny Linglong. The various pill refiners in the Pill Pagoda had no control over one another. But the Dao Lord of the Dao Gate was the number one person in the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate. Qu Jiangyuan glanced around at the other elders; at this moment, no one stood forward to speak for Jin Yu. This was because that clan member of Jin Yu was too domineering. Because of Jin Yu¡¯s position and his exceptional spirit roots, he had always walked around the sect belligerently and acted as he wished. If such a person were to depart from the sect, he would definitely suffer. Unexpectedly, before he even left the sect, he was killed. Seeing that no one was willing to stand forward, Qu Jiangyuan helplessly said, "The Dean definitely wouldn''t agree to this request. Even with Jin Jiuzhen''s superb spiritual roots, he''s merely a Channel Opening Stage disciple. After all, in the Heaven Seeking Palace, there are as many geniuses as there are clouds. However, if Elder Jin really believes vehemently in your case, I can help bring it up." "Brother Jin, didn''t you leave imprints on Jin Jiuzhen''s storage bag?" The female cultivator sitting by Jin Yu''s side asked quizzically. Jin Yu sighed, "Why would I not? I didn''t only leave imprints on his storage bag, I left imprints on Jiuzhen''s spirit stones, pills, magic treasures¡­ everything! Clearly, his murderer must be a skilled hand. He didn''t even take any of those things." In actuality, Jin Yu''s proposal definitely wouldn''t be approved by the Dao Lord. Even if the Dao Lord did agree, the dean wouldn''t. Investigation the entire Heaven Seeking Palace? Jin Yu wasn''t that big a deal. His words were simply used to make his later request seem much more moderate. "Dao Lord, then I wish to release a wanted poster under the Heaven Seeking Palace''s name¡­" After answering the female cultivator''s question, Jin Yu continued. This request was what he truly wanted. Qu Jiangyuan asked doubtfully, "You know who killed him?" Jin Yu shook his head, "This I do not know. But before Jiuzhen died, he had a clash with an outer sect disciple. Thereafter, Jiuzhen and his two guards were killed outside. Coincidentally, that outer sect disciple had also left the sect at that time." In his investigation, Jin Yu also found that Jin Jiuzhen had sent people to occupy Mo Wuji''s residences. However, he naturally wouldn''t reveal it. Such matters could be known privately but not divulged. "Oh, is that outer sect disciple¡¯s cultivation very high? What''s his name?" Qu Jiangyuan asked interestedly. Jin Yu replied reluctantly, "His name is Mo Wuji. He just joined the Heaven Seeking Palace not long ago. As to his cultivation, it couldn''t be considered high. He should only be at the Great Circle of Channel Opening." In reality, Jin Yu''s mind was also filled with questions. He had investigated on Mo Wuji and verified that Mo Wuji was truly in the Channel Opening Stage. He also did not find any clue of Mo Wuji advancing into the Spirit Building Stage. Ostensibly, Mo Wuji was still in the Channel Opening Stage. An ant that had yet to build his spirit actually killed two Spirit Building Middle Stage cultivators and a Channel Opening Stage Level 9 cultivator? Was that even possible? "Keke, Elder Jin, did your frustrations cloud your mind? An outer sect Channel Opening Stage disciple killed two Spirit Building Stage cultivators? And isn''t your clan member Jin Jiuzhen also in Channel Opening Stage Level 9? Tell me, how did that cultivator do it?" A Dao Gate elder who had always been dissatisfied with Jin Yu did not hesitate to deride him. Since it wasn''t an important inner disciple of the Dao Gate, this elder did not see the need to continue discussing about such pointless matters. Jin Yu replied coldly, "Maybe he had some helpers." With that, Jin Yu clasped his fists once more, "Dao Lord, I just wish to catch that person in question and interrogate him." [1] What lies HAHA Chapter 171: Honest Qi’s Blunder Chapter 171: Honest Qi¡¯s Blunder Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Qu Jiangyuan interrupted their argument, "Elder Jin, for something that¡¯s not confirmed yet, it would be better not to use Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s or even the Dao Gate¡¯s name to put out a bounty. Even if an outer disciple goes out to train, under unconfirmed circumstances, we can¡¯t use the method of putting a bounty on him to get him back." On the inside, Jin Yu hated what Qu Jiangyuan just said. Even if he could not use Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s name, he would still use a bounty to catch this outer disciple back. To daringly occupy Jiuzhen¡¯s seat in the Technique Hall, this was enough reason for him to have no mercy towards this mere outer disciple. "Let¡¯s disperse." Now that they knew that this matter only involved an outer disciple, Qu Jiangyuan could not bother to say anything else. Jin Yu was very calculative, and protective of his own people, hence it would be impossible to get him to stop pursuing this matter. The Dao Gate did not only have Jin Jiuzhen as the only genius disciple. Moreover, he did not like Jin Jiuzhen in the first place, so if he died, he died. ¡­ After entering the desert, Mo Wuji was completely relieved; it would be impossible for anyone to find him in the endless Lost Sky Ruins. He had the shop assistant to thank for this. If it were not for the shop assistant calling out to him, he might have fallen into someone else¡¯s trap. However, while Honest Qi, which the shop assistant recommended, demanded quite a sizable amount of spirit stones, he could still deliver the goods, allowing Mo Wuji to find the Sky Channel Flower on his first try. From the looks of it, this was not the first time that the shop assistant introduced someone to Honest Qi¡¯s shop, which made it more likely that the shop was legitimate¡­ At this point, Mo Wuji¡¯s came to a sudden realisation. It was obviously not the first time that the shop assistant directed people to Honest Qi¡¯s shop, and everything that Honest Qi took out were quality goods. Since this was the case, he must not have been the first person to buy the map from Honest Qi. However, if Honest Qi¡¯s map was so expensive, and had been sold so many times, why hadn¡¯t it been leaked out by then? Disregarding other people, even he would have sold Honest Qi¡¯s map to someone he knew or at least a merchant house before leaving the Lost Sky Ruins. After spending so many spirit stones, it wouldn¡¯t make sense to use it only once. In reality, from the shop assistant¡¯s words, Mo Wuji could infer that Honest Qi¡¯s map was a unique copy. Upon reaching this point in his chain of thoughts, a shiver went down Mo Wuji¡¯s spine. Things were very obvious now. The first possibility was that everyone Honest Qi sold maps to had fallen in the Lost Sky Ruins. If this was the case, there could only be one reason behind it: the treasures marked out on the map were located in dangerous places, and it would be difficult to survive going there. The second possibility was that all those who bought Honest Qi¡¯s map had obtained treasures in the Lost Sky Ruins, but when they returned, all of them disappeared. Why would they disappear? It would be because of Honest Qi. Now Mo Wuji did not have the mood to continue running. He immediately found a pile of rock and sand, bug a hole inside, and hid. The first thing he did was to take out Honest Qi¡¯s map, and use his spiritual will to memorise everything on it. An hour later, the sizable map was already imprinted in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. Following which, he took out the small book detailing various treasures, and spent another hour writing all of it down. After that, Mo Wuji scanned both map and book, but simply could not find any sort of imprints at all. Mo Wuji impatiently put down both of those things, as he only knew the most basic way of manipulating spiritual will. Without any techniques for training spiritual will, it would be too difficult for him to use his spiritual will to detect imprints made by other people. These two items were now ticking time bombs in his hands, and he had to find some way to dispose of them, best not burying them at a fixed location. No, he had also bought a black antidote pill too. Once he recalled this fact, Mo Wuji quickly took out the antidote pill from his storage bag. When he bought this pill previously, he did not check it in detail. But now that the pill was in his hands, he could see that this pill was not that simple. From his observations as a pill refiner, the pill in his hand was completely spherical, and without any impurity in colour at all, indications that the pill refiner that made this pill was highly skilled. Mo Wuji brought the pill to his nose carefully for a whiff, and shockingly he smelled a slight stench. Finally, he remembered what this pill was, and it was a rather impressive pill, definitely not only worth 30,000 Earth grade spirit stones. When the wordless pill manual introduced Tier 7 spiritual pills, it mentioned this particular pill, called the Solitary Dark Pill. It is very difficult to concoct, and was an antidote pill. However, the Solitary Dark Pill did not counter regular poisons, but a type of nerve poison. The price of such a pill was definitely much greater than the Elementary Life Pill that Yan Qianyin used previously. It would have been such a waste to throw such a pill away, and he could not bear to do that either. However he also dared not to keep it by his side. Honest Qi was indeed quite scary, and he really did not want to leave anything from Honest Qi by his side. After much thought, Mo Wuji decided that he did not want to throw it away. Other than this pill being very valuable, he was going to venture into the most dangerous parts of the Lost Sky Ruins, so what if he he really got hit by nerve poison? But it was still better to check the pill out first. Using his spiritual will, he was confident that he would be able to find out if anything was wrong with it. Of course, if he could not find any problems with the pill, he still had to dispose of it. Succumbing to nerve poison was still better than being tracked by an expert, and finally landing into his hands. Placing a bottle of Earthly Soul Protecting Pills by his side, Mo Wuji slowly extended his spiritual will bit by bit into the outer layers of the Solitary Dark Pill in his hands. Through this process, it was as though the pill was taken apart and inspected. This was the second time since the purifying of the Tier 7 Purple Jade Toad Lotus that he exhausted his spiritual will at this rate. The process of checking with his spiritual will, seemed to almost squash Mo Wuji¡¯s entire brain, but he still fervently drew out more spiritual will to slowly immerse the Solitary Dark Pill in it. As long as he could find the abnormality within the Solitary Dark Pill, he would likely gain an extra lifeline. Time passed by gradually, and Mo Wuji¡¯s face became paler, with beads of sweat dripping down from the side. Half a bottle of Earthly Soul Protecting Pills had been used up already, but the inspection of the Solitary Dark Pill was not completed yet. Another half an incense¡¯s time went by, and just as he was about to give up, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will suddenly hit some shadowy energy. This is it. Mo Wuji excitedly clenched both his fists as he downed another Earthly Soul Protecting Pill. At the same time, his spiritual will carefully circled around this shadowy energy while observing it. A moment later, the source of the energy was located: a few complex runes. Those runes seemed to be wrapped around something, which Mo Wuji dared not touch at all. If he were stronger, he could have removed both the runes and whatever was within them, leaving the pill undamaged. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s current strength was insufficient, hence he could only use the most basic method: breaking open the pill, then slowly extracting the small piece of it that had the energy of the runes. While this would cause much of the pill¡¯s effect to be lost, it was still better than throwing the entire pill away by many times. Moreover, Mo Wuji was also a Tier 4 Earth pill refiner, and he knew how to break the pill open with the least effect on the pill¡¯s efficacy. Honest Qi probably couldn¡¯t even imagine in his dreams that a Channel Opening Stage cultivator like him had spiritual will. Once the procedure was done, he kept the broken pill into a jade bottle, before keeping the jade bottle in his storage bag. Then, Mo Wuji stuck the small piece of the pill, with the runes that he dug out, onto the thin book, and wrapped it in the map. These had to be settled quickly, and the best solution was not to bury those items here, but to find a moving thing that would bring these items by its side. Upon leaving the sandy cave, Mo Wuji chose a direction to move in. According to Honest Qi¡¯s map, he would see a gigantic lake after travelling in this direction for two days. There were low level Sand Crocodiles and also rare smithing materials in the centre of the lake, called Blue-gold Glass. Mo Wuji chose this location, firstly for the sand crocodiles, and secondly for the water. As for the Blue-gold Glass, he had no idea what that was at all. When he left for the Lost Sky Ruins, it was in a rush, he did not prepare any water. Last time when he was trapped in the ice mountain, luckily there were Inedia Pills and water on him. If he were to be trapped at a waterless place this time, it would be a joke for him to die from dehydration. With his fast speed, within half a day, Mo Wuji could see the glistening water surface from afar. Happiness erupted inside him, as this proved one point, that Honest Qi¡¯s map was real. Hence he increased his speed further, and in a few steps, arrived at the side of the lake. The lake was clear with light ripples on the surface, giving off the sound of waves softly as wind blew past. This refreshed Mo Wuji mentally, a feeling that he had not felt in a long time If the Lost Sky Ruins was full of such places, there would really be nothing much to worry about. As Mo Wuji bent down, drank a few mouths of water, and gently rinsed his face, a loud sound exploded through the air. Immediately, he raised his head, and looked to the side. Three figures were rapidly closing in on his location, and they reached the lakeside very quickly. All three of them did not even bother looking at Mo Wuji, but jumped into the lake, without removing a single piece of clothing. Taking out a few bags, Mo Wuji filled them with clean water, and prepared to leave. Those three people seemed to have come from an even deeper region of the Lost Sky Ruins, but regardless of their reasons, he would not poke his nose where it did not belong. "Friend, please wait for a moment¡­" As he was about to leave, one of the three that entered the lake leapt out, and called out to him by the lakeside. Once this man spoke, the other two of them exited the lake too. Two men and one woman made up the trio, and the one that stopped Mo Wuji was a skinny man. Mo Wuji indeed stopped, and staped at those three warily, asking "May I ask what the few of you stopped me for?" All three of them were at higher cultivation levels than his, possibly of Spirit Building Stage. The skinny man¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s storage bag, and said with a smile, "Let me make a trade with you. Can you sell your storage bag to me?" Chapter 172: Disgusting Worms Chapter 172: Disgusting Worms Translator: Sparrow_Editor: Sparrow_ Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. Wasn¡¯t it a robbery if they wanted his storage bag? His hands covered his storage bag immediately. When he was at Channel Opening Stage Level 10 initially, he killed two Spirit Building Stage guys. Now that he had reached Channel Opening Stage Level 12, these three guys shouldn¡¯t be much tougher to deal with than those two Spirit Building Stage guys. "Second brother, let¡¯s not be so brutish. Wanting to buy other people¡¯s storage bag gives him the wrong impression that we¡¯re trying to rob him." The other man said as he walked over. This man was rather tall, with an obvious scar on his face. After speaking, the man bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji, "Friend, we¡¯re in urgent need for storage bags because we found some smithing minerals. We don¡¯t intend to rob anyone, so be assured that we¡¯ll definitely give you a good price for it." When he head this man¡¯s words, Mo Wuji knew that these guys must have found some treasure somewhere, and their storage bags were full already, but they could not bear to leave the treasure behind, so they wanted to get his storage bag to go back for it. Mo Wuji replied, "My storage bag is also full." "It¡¯s ok, you can take your things out, we only need the storage bag." The tall man continued smiling as he spoke. But Mo Wuji¡¯s tone became cold, "Since you need the storage bag to store things, so should I just carry all my items in my hands after selling my storage bag to you?" "You can carry them in a bag." The first man that spoke opened his mouth again. To such a reply, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond. He raised his hand, and the Tian Ji Poke appeared. If they wanted to rob him, then let them try it. It would be a good opportunity for him to test how strong he had become after reaching Channel Opening Stage Level 12. Seeing that Mo Wuji took out a weapon without hesitation, the two men furrowed their brows and dared not make any abrupt moves. Just like when facing a ferocious dog, if one turned to escape, the dog would bite even fiercely, and still chase behind the person. If one was about to get bitten, and you did not run, but instead get ready to battle, the dog would be frightened and back off instead. Once the two men were under control, Mo Wuji suddenly said, "You guys found this place by coincidence right? I knew that there was a lake here before I even arrived. If both of you are willing to stop, I can hand over the map." After speaking, Mo Wuji did not wait for them to respond, and immediately threw a package containing the map to the tall man. Instinctively, the man dodged to the side, and only picked the package up to look inside after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it. Following which, a scream of surprise rang out, and the other two people looked at each other. The other man and woman quickly walked beside the man, and inspected the map and where the treasures of the Lost Sky Ruins were. Mo Wuji took this chance to turn and leave. "Elder brother, should we catch and eliminate him?" Seeing that Mo Wuji left, the slightly skinny man that received the map asked. The taller man gazed towards the direction that Mo Wuji disappeared and chuckled, "There¡¯s no need, this map of his is worth much more than a storage bag. Look at this, the place that we¡¯re looking for is on the map too. We¡¯re rich now, this is a treasure trove." "Then won¡¯t it be more secure if we eliminated him?" The woman that didn¡¯t speak so far finally said something. "Of course." The taller man shook his head, "But don¡¯t just take this guy on the surface level. For someone to dare to enter the Lost Sky Ruins alone, he must not be someone simple, despite the lack of spiritual ripples around him. Just from his speed of drawing his weapon you can see that he¡¯s not an ordinary person. I suspect that he has some method of disguising his cultivation level, and if I guess correctly, none of the three of us will be able to force him to stay. We have treasures with us, so there¡¯s no need to make such a risk. Hence, why don¡¯t we go treasure hunting instead? Even if he dares to go too, it¡¯ll save us the time and effort of chasing him down." Both the man and woman nodded in agreement. What he said was correct. If Mo Wuji was indeed weak, how would he dare to roam around the Lost Sky Ruins solo? Someone who could use special methods to hide one¡¯s spiritual ripples was definitely not simple too. ¡­ Once he observed that the three did not chase after him, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. While he did not fear them, it would still be better if they did not engage in combat. After all, he had not built his spirit, and Channel Opening Stage Level 12 was still in the Channel Opening Stage. Now that the bomb in his hands was given away, he was very satisfied. The original plan was to throw the items into a sand crocodile¡¯s mouth. Since these three guys had appeared, it saved him the effort of doing so. The three items from Honest Qi definitely was nothing good, so since those three wanted to take advantage of him, then they¡¯ld have to face the music from Honest Qi. He¡¯ll just carry on finding the Sky Channel Flower. As for whether those three guys would go after the Sky Channel Flower too, Mo Wuji did not worry. Because the possibility of that happening was pitifully small. As compared to other treasures, the Sky Channel Flower was nothing special. Not everyone was like him, wanting to open the 100th spirit channel. Without anything to worry about anymore, Mo Wuji changed directions once again. This time, he really headed towards the location of the Sky Channel Flower. No matter how dishonest Honest Qi was, the locations of various treasures on the thin booklet was still rather accurate. Days passed, and Mo Wuji finally stopped before a large patch of dried up grass. There were broken walls everywhere, and dust covered all of them. Many different weeds grew within them, just like an ancient battleground, which had experienced the long passage of time. Occasional whistling of the wind could be heard from the weeds, and as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will seeped into them, he discovered some skeletons amongst the grass and stone. There was nothing other than that. The brushing noises were probably caused by some passing wind. At that moment, the sky had darkened already, and Mo Wuji looked towards a farther place. The location was almost completely covered with incomplete ruins and weeds, and the only way to pass through this area was to walk over the weeks and broken buildings. Going around them was not an option. Only would he be able to find the Sky Channel Flower to advance to Spirit Building Stage by crossing over. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to cross over this area of weeds and ruins. His desire for strength was simply too strong. Something¡¯s not right. The instant Mo Wuji took his first step, he could sense that something was up. There were so many skeletons amongst the grass, and they were likely not the product of some coincidental battle. If it was not that, there was only one other reason, that the cultivators that tried to pass through the weeds all turned into skeletons. Mo Wuji quickly retracted his leg, and reinspected the whole area in greater detail, from the weeds, to the broken walls, to the skeletons spread around. Half an incense¡¯s time later, he could see the full picture before him. The skeletons were not pale white, but had a tinge of grey in it, and in the grey colour, small black spots could be observed. Every skeleton was the same. There were no exceptions. Grey skeletons were normal, but the black spots were definitely not normal. Every skeleton having the same black spots made it even more abnormal. Was it poison? Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will spread down even further. Before it went down, a sense of danger rose in him. After all, there were no living things here, only skeletons. As his spiritual will seeped beneath the ground, goosebumps rose up all over his body, and he became nauseated, almost vomiting instantly. The stationary black and grey areas was not the ground at all, but layers of unknown worms. The topmost layer of worms appeared as though they were dirt from the ground, and they were linked up together densely, without making any movements. However, the worms below the surface were wriggling around furiously. It was really disgusting to the max. This was too close a shave. If he did not have spiritual will, the moment he set foot on the ground, it would have meant his death. What was Honest Qi doing? Since he made a map, why weren¡¯t such dangers demarcated out? Wasn¡¯t his intention to get others to find treasures for him? Regardless of what Honest Qi¡¯s intentions were, Mo Wuji could not bother. He immediately left the area, and traced the broken walls around the weeds for a good hour. As he moved, his spiritual will continued to scan the scary worms in within the weeds. An hour later, a safe haven was finally located. This area seemed to be absent of worms, and there were some broken walls protruding out of the ground, which served as good footholds to prevent any contact with the ground. This was where he would cross over from. After making his decision, Mo Wuji leapt up, and landed on one of the broken walls. The ancient wall was so old, that it gave a ¡®crack¡¯ under his feet. As he left this piece of broken wall, it crumbled into dust behind him. At this moment, Mo Wuji had landed on the second piece of broken wall, and before he could jump to the third one, a rustling sound broke the silence of the night. When he spread his spiritual will out to search for the source of the sound, goosebumps appeared all over him once more. The worms that were stationary before were now charging at him ferociously. As one could imagine, if he were to get surrounded by these worms, even a hundred Mo Wujis would die on the spot. On top of that, they would die unceremoniously. Hence, Mo Wuji did not dare to remain at that spot for a second longer, raising his elemental energy, and kicked back with both legs. He sped towards the other side as though as he was flying through the air. A few breaths later, Mo Wuji knew that he would not be able to make it before the worms would trap him. By then, there was nothing he could do but fight for his life. The Mo Wuji in midair began firing off lightning bolt after lightning bolt at the mass of worms. "Crackle...crackle¡­" Countless of the worms were blown apart by the lightning, and a thick burnt smell emanated through the air. The worms seemed to be stunned by the explosive lightning, and stopped in their tracks. When he saw this, joy filled Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. The thing he was afraid of was that these worms lacked any consciousness. But from his observation, these worms indeed had a little consciousness, and with that, they would know fear. After all, how would worms without consciousness know to attack him only after he had entered the area of the weeds? Chapter 173: Sky Channel Flower Chapter 173: Sky Channel Flower Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - During the short period of time when these worms were stunned, Mo Wuji transferred all his elemental energy to below his feet before throwing his entire body away from the worms. These worms were only momentarily stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning attack and they continued their mad pursuit for Mo Wuji once they recovered. Mo Wuji released a few more lightnings to scare them as he saw their unrelentless pursuit. When faced with death, he exerted all his energy to escape. "Peng!" Mo Wuji tried his best to escape but ultimately fell on a hard rocky ground. Ignoring the pain of the fall, Mo Wuji crawled up before continuing his escape. The fact was that this hard rocky ground was already out of the region containing the barren wasteland. Mo Wuji continued running for over 10 metres before finally stopping. He used his spiritual energy to scan his back to make sure that no worms were following him. These worms seemed to only appear within the wasteland and not anything further beyond it. Something feels wrong! Mo Wuji turned his head to look cautiously at the broken wall within the wasteland. Even after using his spiritual energy to scan for almost half a day, he concluded that it was not by chance that these worms were not coming out. If it was not by chance, this meant that someone prevented them from coming out. The only way to prevent these worms from coming out would be to use an array. It was a pity that the quality of Mo Wuji¡¯s Array Dao was too low to recognise what array it was. Mo Wuji might have low attainments in the Array Dao, but he certainly did not have slow reaction. For someone to set up a form of trap array to farm so many disgusting worms here, there was either a very valuable treasure around or it was simply some kind of plot. Mo Wuji shook his head at the thought of this because he realised he could do nothing about it even if he knew. Given his ability and strength, he had no ways to search for the answers. Therefore, no matter how good the object was, it would definitely not fall onto his hands. Thinking about strength, Mo Wuji did not wish to waste any more time as he turned and sped off. ¡­ Back at the Honest Qi Provision Shop, Honest Qi returned to his honest, sloppy look, sitting by the corner after completing Mo Wuji¡¯s business. He was back at his corner hammering who knows what. Without any warning, he suddenly stood up while throwing everything he had on his hands. Just as Honest Qi stood up, a ghost-like woman suddenly appeared, "What is the problem?" Honest Qi pointed excitedly in the direction of the Lost Sky Ruins, "That kid...He was actually looking for the Celestial Sunflower Gold and he found it!" "Are you sure?" The woman¡¯s voice was trembling with excitement as she grabbed onto Honest Qi, "But the booklet we gave him did not mention anything about the Celestial Sunflower Gold right?" Honest Qi¡¯s hand was still trembling as he said, "I am sure, I am 100% confident. I could clearly sense the aura of the Celestial Sunflower Gold from the spiritual will imprint that I left on him. There were only these few Celestial Sunflower Gold in the entire Zhen Mo Continent and back in the days, I¡¯ve seen it with my very own eyes. I would forever not be able to forget such a strong aura and I would never have expected it to appear in the Lost Sky Ruins¡­" "It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true¡­" The woman murmured repeatedly before saying, "Qi Sang, let¡¯s hurry to the Lost Sky Ruins. As long as I can find a Celestial Sunflower Gold, we would never have to be afraid of them¡­" In fact, just as this woman mentioned about heading towards the Lost Sky Ruins, Honest Qi had already started packing his things. The reason he had the map and the booklet depicting the general location of the treasures of the Lost Sky Ruins in the first place was precisely because he wanted to search for the Celestial Sunflower Gold. However, he knew it was simply impossible to find the Celestial Sunflower Gold in the Lost Sky Ruins. The impossible just turned possible! Contrary to what they believed, the thing they never expected would appear actually appeared here in the Lost Sky Ruins. ¡­ The trio, who previously retrieved the map and the booklet from Mo Wuji, were now gathered at the depth of the mud swamp. Directly in front of them was a big piece of shiny ore which looked like a sunflower. However, the size of the ore was evidently a few times bigger than a sunflower with a radius of at least three metres. "What is this? It feels a little cooling and extremely hard," The woman used her hand to feel this sunflower looking ore before asking curiously. The other two extended their hands to feel it but shook their head as they were equally clueless about it. "This item grows in the middle of the spiritual veins and seeing how sturdy it looks, I believe it¡¯s quality would not be too poor. It could even be a top grade treasure for all we know," said the skinnier man. "But we are not capable of bringing it along with us. Even if we emptied everything in our storage bag, this would still not be able to fit," the woman said. The remaining two turned silent as they knew that it was true that their storage bag was not capable of fitting this huge sunflower looking ore. Finally, the taller male cultivator suggested, "How about we cut off part of it and hide the rest somewhere . After we found out what this truly is, if it is a good thing we could always come back again." This tall cultivator must be the most outspoken of the trio because the moment he suggested the idea, the remaining two agreed to his plan without any shred of hesitation. As the trio wanted to cut a piece of the huge ore, they were met with difficulties because this ore could not be cut at all. "Forget it, let¡¯s just bury it here as we have to hurry to find the Dark Soul Crystal. For a few Heaven grade spirit stones, we have wasted about seven to eight days here. That kid had the map and booklet before us, he might have found it already," the tall cultivator said as he clapped his hands to urge the others on. The trio started work immediately as they decided to dig a gigantic hole beneath this spiritual ore to hide it. The trio had no idea that the item they were about to hide was worth multiple times more than the thing they were about to look for. ¡­ Mo Wuji naturally did not know of all these and even if he knew, he could not do anything about it. To be able to divert Honest Qi¡¯s attention away from himself, it was already a huge success for him. This was already the fourth day after Mo Wuji escaped the disgusting worms region as he stood outside a gorge filled with fog. There were still all sorts of broken buildings in the gorge which proved that it was previously habitable where people actually stayed in. Perhaps after experiencing countless years of drastic changes, these broken buildings became one with the scenery of the gorge. Mo Wuji could only vaguely tell from the shapes of these buildings that they were once constructed by human. He took out his Tian Ji pole as he cautiously approached the gorge filled with fog. The map that was bought from Honest Qi did mentioned about a fog-filled gorge in this region too. The map even introduced this gorge¡¯s origins as a place that came about only because of many years of disintegration of both the buildings and the chlorite. In actual fact, the description was quite accurate. This proved that the general location of the treasures by Honest Qi were very accurate. Hence, since that booklet mentioned the location of a Sky Channel Flower, Mo Wuji could not be any more confident about finding one here. The only worry was that people might have come across here before him. After all, there were endless number of cultivators who headed towards the Lost Sky Ruins year after year. Therefore, it would not be surprising even if someone had been here before. Mo Wuji entered the gorge cautiously as this gorge was formed from the disintegrations of many antique buildings. Mo Wuji could even spot a chair looking statue. After half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji stopped as he could no longer see anything. His eyes felt uncomfortable as all he could see was fog. Honest Qi was indeed right about the poison almost everywhere in the Lost Sky Ruins. Even this fog contained poison which made his eye unable to see anything at all. Mo Wuji did not over-react when he found out about the poison in the fog. He casually took out and swallowed a few Poison Cleansing Pills before shutting his eyes. If this fog contained poison, this would mean that normal cultivators would definitely not appear here. Even for a True Lake Stage cultivator, his spiritual will would merely be at the level of a magic treasure. Only a Nihility God Stage cultivator would be able to use their spiritual will like himself to scan through things in the surrounding. Nihility God Stage cultivators¡¯ spiritual will made use of spiritual life which made it much stronger than his own spiritual will. However, Mo Wuji did not bother about matching the power of his spiritual will with that of a Nihility God Stage cultivator as this was not what he longed for. All he wanted was that his spiritual will would be able to allow him to scan all four directions. Perhaps because of the origins of the gorge, there was almost zero straight route of advancement forward and that there were at least seven or eight twisted paths. A few hours passed and Mo Wuji still had not seen any sign of the Sky Channel Flower. The booklet only briefly introduced the Sky Channel Flower and the existence of it here but he had no idea where it was hidden. Mo Wuji kept his patience as he continued searching. This was his one purpose when he came into the Lost Sky Ruins and even if he had to look for it for a year, he would continue searching for it. A shadow suddenly appeared in front of Mo Wuji, frightening him. Fortunately, it only took Mo Wuji a while to realise that this was a statue formed after years of endless disintegrations just like everything else around the gorge. Mo Wuji walked towards the shadow of this statue and watched it attentively only to realise that it was at least half a head taller than Mo Wuji with a ring on his hand. Mo Wuji was suspecting that the ring could be a storage ring. However, this storage ring would be useless to him because both the human and the ring had already turned into stone. Wrong! Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something as he hurried back to find a few pillar-like objects. Soon after, Mo Wuji realised that these were not pillars but humans turned into statues. In other places, dead people would be disintegrated into ashes and as time passed, gradually disappeared from this world. People who died here were either turned into stone pillars or a full sized body shaped statue. The only possible cause for this would be the fog here. Maybe it was a psychological effect that Mo Wuji suddenly felt pain all over his body. The effects of the poison fog? Mo Wuji felt anxious and his first reaction would be to rush out. What is the point of having the Sky Channel Flower if he lost his life? Just as Mo Wuji was about to run away, his spiritual will sensed a purple flower. The purple flower blossomed like a rose in the midst of the fog without any rhizome or leaves. It was growing while suspended in the air. Sky Channel Flower! Mo Wuji could immediately recognised that as the Sky Channel Flower. Chapter 174: Spirit Building Chapter 174: Spirit Building Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji completely disregarded the pain throughout his body, and exerted maximum strength in his legs, exploding forth with top speed, aiming towards the Sky Channel Flower. The Sky Channel Flower was floating just like that in the mist, and he easily harvested this single flower, sending it into a jade box. After obtaining the Sky Channel Flower, Mo Wuji did not want to hang around this area a second longer, hence he turned around and charged out of the fog. At this point in time, he was thankful that he possessed spiritual will, as without it, it would not be possible for him to enter such a location. With blistering speed, Mo Wuji used a mere incense¡¯s time to exit this gorge, ending the nightmare of being trapped in the fog. Soreness and pain in his body soon came wave after wave, prompting him to take a few more Poison Cleansing Pills, before leaving the gorge for good. The fog was rather mysterious, and he could not deduce what sort of poison it was. This time, Mo Wuji went in a direction completely different from the one he came from. Passing through the even weirder land of weeds and broken walls was one thing he never wanted to do again. This time, he did not even take reference from the Honest Qi¡¯s map. After running for three days, something didn¡¯t feel right. His body was slowly hardening, an obvious sign that he had been poisoned. I have to cleanse myself of poison before carrying on. Mo Wuji gazed around. Other than a swamp on one side, everywhere else were barren wastelands, without a single hiding spot in sight. The choice was obvious. Mo Wuji could only enter the swamp. He did not even know how seriously poisoned he was. If it was very serious, he might have had to spend long hours to cleanse it out of his systems, hence the location he chose had to be hidden and secure. Swamps usually had little human traffic, so as long as he could find a good hiding spot, it would suffice. ¡­ Half a day into Mo Wuji¡¯s foray in the swamp, he still could not find a good place to conceal himself. By then his whole body was already covered in mud, but this was not of priority to him now. The gradual hardening of his body was getting worse, and who knew when he would turn into a human statue like those others in the foggy gorge. The Lost Sky Ruins were indeed too dangerous. Although he did not go to an especially treacherous place, two life threatening incidents had occurred already. Three familiar figures soon appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s field of vision, and he quickly fell prone on the ground of the swamp. He could recognise those three as the people that tried to rob him of his storage bag back then, and only let him go after he gave them the map and book from Honest Qi. Who knew that after so long, he would bump into those three by coincidence again. This time he definitely could not be discovered by them, otherwise it would be seeking death in his current hardened state. As he was covered in mud from head to toe, now that he dove into the swamp water, even if one looked in his direction, it would be difficult to detect his presence. Thankfully the three of them did not find Mo Wuji, looking around for a moment, before swiftly leaving in another direction. Their actions greatly puzzled Mo Wuji. There was no mention of this swamp in the book, so what were the three of them doing here? Recalling that they were trying to buy a storage bag by force, he inferred that these three had found something good. From the looks of things, this could have been the location of that thing. He remained prone in the mud for another half an incense¡¯s time, and only rushed towards the location where the three people were after confirming that they were gone for good. It was a small hill in the swamp, which was a common sight in swamps. In its surroundings, other than some potholes, there were many aquatic plants covering the area. There¡¯s nothing here? Mo Wuji thought to himself as he circled the small hill two times. On the third time, he finally found out what was wrong with it. One of the aquatic plants at the base of the small hill was rather slanted. If it weren¡¯t for his close inspection, this detail would not have been spotted. Not only that, there was not a single drop of water around this aquatic plant. Walking over, Mo Wuji pulled at the plant, which revealed a hole before his eyes. The hole extended into the small hill beside it. Dense spiritual energy emanated out of the hole, which caught his attention. Thus, he immediately jumped into the hole, at the same time restoring the aquatic plant back to its original state. The deeper into the hole he went, the denser the spiritual energy became. Even though Mo Wuji felt great discomfort due to the hardening of his body, being bathed in such rich spiritual energy alleviated its effects. Half an hour of walking later, he stopped, shocked by the scene before his eyes. The ground was littered by spirit stones, and in front of him lay a spirit stone quarry that had barely been mined. If Mo Wuji did not know what those three people wanted an extra storage bag for, he would have been a dumb pig. So the three of them found a spirit stone quarry, and even with 10 storage bags, it would not have been enough, much less one measly storage bag from him. From his estimates, those three people should not be returning soon, hence he sat in the middle of the spirit stone quarry and began analysing the poison within him. Countless minutes passed, and Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder was filled with sweat. He was sure that out of all the Channel Opening Stage cultivators, no one could be as familiar with his meridians as himself. Every single meridian was blown open by his efforts in guiding lightning through them. However, even with his high level of familiarity with his body¡¯s condition, he could not find anything wrong it it at all. Which meant that he had no idea how he got poisoned, and by what poison. Thoroughly disappointed, Mo Wuji kept the , and furrowed his brows. Now he had found the Sky Channel Flower, but if he could not resolve this poison, finding the flower and the location of this spirit stone quarry would be meaningless. He then retrieved and opened up the jade box from his storage bag, revealing a beautiful purple flower lying in the center. One the lid of the jade box came off, the refreshing fragrance gave Mo Wuji a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Could this Sky Channel Flower counter the poison? Something that an old chinese traditional medicine practitioner on Earth came to mind. Most poisonous plants have their antidote growing not far away from them. While such a saying was not very scientific, but Mo Wuji was in a rush to find an antidote. Since the Sky Channel Flower could survive in the poisonous fog, this meant that it did not fear the poison. Perhaps, the Sky Channel flower could really be the antidote. At this point, Mo Wuji quickly popped many Energy Gathering Pills into his mouth. He usually rarely used pills to cultivate, so why now in an environment rich in spiritual energy? All he had on his mind was to quickly reach the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage Level 12, then attempt to advance to Spirit Building Stage. Even if there were a Channel Opening Stage Level 13, he would still try to breakthrough to SPirit Building Stage using the Sky Channel Flower. Cultivating in a spirit stone quarry, was many, many times more effective than simply using spirit stones. This was because before spirit stones are dug out, they possessed some sort of harmony with the heavens and earth, which made them even more suitable for cultivation. Coupled with Mo Wuji¡¯s intense absorption rate of spiritual energy, cultivating in a spirit stone quarry was one thing, but using pills on top of that, his cultivation speed simply couldn¡¯t get any faster. In a short span of two days, he had reached the later stages of Channel Opening Stage Level 12. Gulping down many more Energy Gathering Pills, Mo Wuji continued absorbing spiritual energy wildly. To be able to cause the spiritual energy around him to form a whirlpool, it was never before seen for a Channel Opening Stage cultivator. As his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was very high, his rate of improvement was also very high. However, Mo Wuji did not feel happy at all. It had been almost three days already, and his body was getting stiffer by the day. Finally, he hit the Great Circle of Channel Opening Stage Level 12. This was the moment he had been waiting for, as he put the Sky Channel Flower that he prepared into his mouth. There was a rose-like fragrance to the Sky Channel Flower, and also a light, sweet taste. But before Mo Wuji had the time to savour its flavor, a wild stream of spiritual energy gushed into his body, lighting him on fire from the inside. The terrifying burning sensation brought him back to the days when he just started training in the Seven Styles Lightning Sky. His innards all seemed as though they were going to burn into ashes. At this moment, happiness began to fill Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. Based on his experience with Seven Styles Lightning Sky, he did not have to worry about being burnt to death by the Sky Channel Flower. He was also elated, as his stiff body had began to soften up too. As expected, the effects of the poison was starting to disappear, seemingly burnt to a crisp by the strong spiritual energy from the Sky Channel Flower. His guess must have been right. The Sky Channel Flower really was an antidote for the poison that causes one¡¯s body to stiffen up. Mo Wuji carried on without a care in the world, pushing his energy circulation to the maximum in an attempt to advance to the next stage. The spiritual energy originally exploding out of the Sky Channel Flower combined with the large amount of spiritual energy he absorbed seemed to push his body to the brink of bursting after a few circulations. This was the most dangerous moment, as he knew from the past experiences of guiding lightning to open his meridians. All of the burning hot spiritual energy was directed into his 100th meridian. "Bang!" Mo Wuji felt his 100th meridian becoming unblocked. This was the first time that there was such a large shock from opening a single meridian. The frightening amounts of spiritual energy finally had somewhere to escape to, which made him feel waves of comfort hitting him all over. After that, he shockingly found out that not only was his Immortal Mortal Technique¡¯s energy circulation even more complete, but the speed of absorbing spiritual energy had increased insanely. A part of his elemental energy had begun accumulating in his 100th meridian too. What Elder Dai Zhu said was not totally accurate. After the 100th meridian was opened, one could not only store spiritual energy, but also increase one¡¯s rate of cultivation. A mere incense¡¯s time passed, and the spiritual energy within Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians gave off a whooshing sound as it circulated through his body, while the surrounding spiritual energy rushed towards him. A newfound strength from surpassing the Channel Opening Stage permeated every pore in him, and the spiritual energy in his meridians finally formed a wall, a large pulsating elemental energy wall. Spirit building finally succeeded. With many emotions welling up within him, Mo Wuji stood up. He was a mortal with no spiritual roots, and after countless hardships and trials, even with multiple brushes with death, he had finally completed building the spirit. All of this was what he had fought hard to obtain. Chapter 175: Celestial Sunflower Chapter 175: Celestial Sunflower Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - After a long time, Mo Wuji finally calmed his emotions. At this moment, he was no longer anxious. Even if those three fellas returned, he had nothing to fear. When he was in Channel Opening Stage Level 10, he could already deal with two Spirit Building Middle Stage cultivators. Now that he had successfully built his spirit upon his Channel Opening Stage Level 12, why would he still fear those in the Spirit Building Stage? Mo Wuji retrieved his Tian Ji Pole and smashed downwards. He was different from those three fellas; those three fellas still had the intentions of returning, thus, they were especially careful and discrete when opening the spirit stone quarry. On the other hand, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t return again. With his pole, he crashed open a huge hole into the spirit stone quarry. This was a Earth grade spirit stone quarry. Inside, there were Earth grade spirit stones of all shapes and sizes. Mo Wuji casually threw the spirit stones in his storage bag and sighed in his heart. In this entire continent, processing spirit stones was a f*cking good job. The spirit stones which were commonly used were all of fixed sizes; these spirit stones were specially processed after they were extracted from the quarries. As Mo Wuji¡¯s storage bag was close to full, he suddenly discovered an extremely clear spirit stone. This spirit stone did not undergo any sort of processing, but it had a perfect hexagonal shape, which was simply unbelievable. Mo Wuji grabbed and held this thumbsized spirit stone in his hand, as compared to an Earth grade spirit stone, a richer and purer spiritual energy seeped into his palm. This feeling of purity seemed to encompass some cultivation dao, which made Mo Wuji feel as though he could easily advance to Spirit Building Stage Level 2 with this stone alone. Was this a Heaven grade spirit stone? Mo Wuji was sure that this was a Heaven grade spirit stone in his hands. He immediately retrieved a jade box and carefully placed the spirit stone inside before placing it in his storage bag. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very clear on the functions of a Heaven grade spirit stone but he was sure that using it to cultivate was a sinful waste of such a treasure. Mo Wuji started digging with greater fervour, however, he gave up on the idea after an hour. It seemed like there was only this one Heaven grade spirit stone here. There was no point in digging further. What a pity. If no one else knew of this location, Mo Wuji would have truly wanted to cultivating here. This was definitely the most optimal place for cultivation. As he recalled about the many days he spent cooped up here, Mo Wuji did not dare dawdle any further. He decided to change locations; when he had depleted his spirit stones, he could always return. In whatever he did, Mo Wuji had a good mentality; he wasn¡¯t greedy. If it was someone else, he would have continued to furiously dig after discovering the Heaven grade spirit stone. Mo Wuji was different; he believed that time was the most valuable thing. Instead of wasting his time digging here, he could spend his time searching for a place to cultivate. Of course, this was also due to his limited understanding towards the Heaven grade spirit stone. As he slowly retreated out of the quarry, Mo Wuji walked to the entrance and slammed his Tian Ji Pole on the ground, borrowing the momentum to rush upwards. After advancing into the Spirit Building Stage, he had the ability to leap great distances. "Dang!" The sound of metal clashing could be heard. Mo Wuji, who had already jumped out, jumped back down. This definitely wasn¡¯t the sound of the Tian Ji Pole hitting the sand and rock; his Tian Ji Pole seemed to have hit some sort of metal. As Mo Wuji descended, he discoered that the soil he was standing on was rather fresh; it seemed as though it had been dug out and recovered. Mo Wuji immediately used his Tian Ji Pole to start digging, and in the next instant, a 3 meter wide black gold which resembled a sunflower was in front of him. Even though Mo Wuji had never interacted with smithing materials, he knew that this thing definitely wasn¡¯t simple. ¡­ In the desert thousands of miles from Mo Wuji, two man and one woman were currently examining a map. "It doesn¡¯t look like there¡¯s anything here. Why did that booklet write that there are Dark Soul Crystals here?" The tall man said quizzically as he examined the map. It was the girl who rebutted him, "I don¡¯t think the manual is wrong. This place is rich in Yin energy, which is the optimal location for the Dark Soul Crystal to form. Moreover, the landmarks we passed along the way matched with what¡¯s in the map, which proves that this map is real. Naturally, the treasures on the manual wouldn¡¯t be wrong." "Hehe, you¡¯re right. The map is real, and so is that manual. However, there¡¯s something which surprises me, how did my thing end up in your hands?" A sudden chucke appeared beside the three of them. The three of them jolted back, only to discover that there were two others who had appeared beside them, one man and one woman. The man had a mouth full of black teeth, and looked more wretched than a wretch. On the other hand, the woman¡¯s entire head was covered in a black cloth, and only her two eyes could be seen. "Who are you?" The thin man who wanted to forcefully rob Mo Wuji¡¯s storage bag exclaimed. At the same time, he fetched his weapon. "I¡¯m an honest man¡­" The wretched looking black teethed man suddenly took a step forward and sent a slap flying towards the thin man. If Mo Wuji was here, he could easily recognise this black teethed man as Honest Qi. The thin man clearly saw the slap coming, but he did not seem to be able to avoid it. He could only stare with shock in his eyes as the palm came descending down towards his skull. "Pu!" Brain juice splattered. This man couldn¡¯t even move an inch as he was slapped to death by the black teethed man. There was no reason, nor was there a fight. "Senior, what is your reason for this?" The tall man immediately retreated and asked in a trembling voice. They had no means of defending against the black teeth¡¯s power. He did not even dare take out his weapon. At the same time, the female cultivator stood rooted to the ground, her face pale white and blank. What did such strong experts want with them? Honest Qi snickered, "No reason. I want to ask you, how did that map and manual end up on you?" The tall man finally understood why these two experts had come looking for them; so it was because of the map and the manual. He immediately placed the map and manual into Honest Qi¡¯s hands, "Senior, a young man sold it to us at a high price. I didn¡¯t know that you were looking for this. If I did, I wouldn¡¯t have dared¡­" Dared what? Dared to buy it? Or dared to keep it? Regardless, he came to understand why that fella kindly gave them the map and the manual. Turns out it wasn¡¯t a blessing, but a curse." "Yi!" As Honest Yi flipped the manual open, he instantly cried out in surprise. "What?" The silent, veiled woman walked over and asked softly. Honest Qi turned to the first page of the manual and said, "The Solitary Dark Pill has been broken down. The part which has my will imprint was left behind in this manual." "What a solid fella, even this old lady misjudged him. I never expected that he was actually a Nihility God expert¡­" The veiled woman said seriously. However, Honest Qi shook his head, "He might not necessarily be a Nihility God expert. In the Zhen Mo Continent, there are far too many cultivators who developed their spiritual will before the Nihility God Stage." "This isn¡¯t the Zhen Mo Continent." The woman grunted. Honest Qi maintained his smile, "But there¡¯s the Celestial Sunflower." The implied meaning behind his words was that the Celestial Sunflower was extremely rare in the Zhen Mo Continent, but it did not appear in small amounts here. His words also implied that the cultivators in the Lost Continent were worse than in the Zhen Mo Continent, but because of the appearances of such rare treasures, Mo Wuji could develop his spiritual will before reaching the Nihility God Stage. As the woman heard the two words ¡®Celestial Sunflower¡¯, she immediately turned to stare at the tall cultivator and said in a cold tone, "Where did you hide the Celestial Sunflower Gold?" "What¡¯s a Celestial Sunflower Gold?" The tall man asked hesitantly. Honest Qi chuckled and sent his palm over. The tall man felt as though the surrounding space had been locked in place, a sense of impending doom flooded his entire body. He was truly wronged; up till now, he really did not know what was going on. "Pa!" Honest Qi¡¯s hand was blocked by the veiled woman. "Wait." The tall man¡¯s entire body was drenched in sweat, like he had just taken a swim. He knew that he had just took a trip to the gates of Hell and back. "You don¡¯t know about this?" The woman flicked her hand and a black and white picture appeared in her hand. The tall man saw what was on the image and said immediately, "I know this thing! Senior, we previously found a spirit stone quarry and discovered this within¡­" "Where is is?" Honest Qi took a step forward, grabbed the tall man¡¯s waist and lifted him up. Even though Honest Qi picked him up from the waist, the man was so much taller than Honest Qi, and his two feet remained on the ground. Embarrassedly, Honest Qi threw the tall man onto the ground. "That thing is in the spirit stone quarry. I buried it in the soil." The tall man said with a voice full of fear. "Hurry and lead the way." Honest Qi grunted. Seeing that Honest Qi and that veiled woman did not continue their killing, the tall cultivator heaved a sigh of relief. If Honest Qi killed his last companion, he would not hesitate to commit suicide. After all, even after he guided the way, he would be killed in the end. Now that Honest Qi had stopped killing, there was a bit of hope in his heart. Perhaps after acquiring that Celestial Sunflower thing from the spirit stone quarry, Honest Qi would not be bothered to kill them. Half a day later, the tall man and his companion brought the Honest Qi pair to the quarry. "This is it." The tall man pointed. "Go down." Honest Qi snorted. He was different from Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t used to using his spiritual will; when Honest Qi arrived, he immediately scanned the depths with his spiritual will. However, the scans were a little hazy towards the bottom. The tall man examined some water grass and stopped suddenly. "What is it?" The veiled woman asked coldly. The tall man hurriedly said, "Two seniors, it seems like someone else has been here. When we left, this place¡­" "Hurry and go down." Honest Qi had a sense of foreboding. It was like the greatest treasure was about to end up in his hands but it suddenly grew wings and flew away. "Yes." The tall man did not dare hesitate. He pulled the water grass apart and immediately discovered that someone else had truly been here. Why was the entrance so much bigger? Chapter 176: Leaps And Bounds Chapter 176: Leaps And Bounds Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - When the tall cultivator entered the spirit stone quarry, his face immediately changed. "What''s wrong?" Honest Qi said softly, he had already seen the change of the tall cultivator''s expression. It looks like his previous sense of foreboding was not wrong. He had finally found the Celestial Sunflower Gold with much difficulty, but it actually got stolen away? He wanted to cry but no tears could come out. The tall cultivator had tears all over his face as he said, "Someone had come, and he even dug away that Celestial Sunflower¡­" Honest Qi¡¯s hand instantly formed into a fist, green veins were revealed along his arms, and his arms were slightly trembling. Ostensibly, one can see the rage and frustrations he had in his heart. It wasn''t just Honest Qi, even that veiled woman exhaled softly. She was also clearly very angry. "Besides the three of you, does anyone else know of this place?" After some time, Honest Qi finally spoke again. The tall cultivator shook his head, "No, it''s only the three of us." If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely call this fella an idiot. If he was the one to answer the question, he would definitely say that they weren''t the only ones who knew of this place. He would even claim that he knew where this other person was. That way, Honest Qi wouldn''t immediately kill him, but get him to continue guiding the way. Honest Qi and the veiled woman gave each other knowing glances; they could tell that this tall cultivator wasn''t lying. Honest Qi casually sent two slaps out. The poor pair had yet to enjoy the fortunes from this spirit stone quarry before they were squashed by Honest Qi. ¡­ Somewhere not more than a thousand miles away from this swamp, Mo Wuji was taking a breather from digging an immortal cave. He had been lugging this huge object on his back for a long time. Even a Spirit Building cultivator like him would get tired. Fortunately, this place was suitable for hiding; it was a dried up river. In the river, the river bed could get over ten meters deep, or it could even get tens of meters deep. It was like a canyon, but it was clearly not a canyon as the spider weblike scars on the dried river bed were still very clear. Ostensibly, this river had not been dried up for a long time. Otherwise, these scars would not be present. Mo Wuji picked a good spot - the middle of the river embankment - and started to dig an immortal cave. It was similar to digging an immortal cave by the side of a cliff; it was safe and sturdy. Furthermore, there were some dried shoots and roots in front of the cave, making it look inconspicuous. Mo Wuji even moved the newly dug soil far away; he was planning to stay here for a considerable amount of time. He had a few reasons for saying here. Firstly, he had such a huge thing on his back, he wouldn''t be able to run far. Now, he could safely bury it in a secure place in this dried river. Secondly, he had just built his spirit and he had plenty of spirit stones on him. This was the best time to cultivate. Most importantly, Mo Wuji did not dare return. Even though he had already built his spirit, he might be slaughtered the moment he returns to the Heaven Seeking Palace. Since his wanted poster could already turn up in the Lost Sky City, it showed that Jin Jiuzhen truly had an expert behind him. Furthermore, this expert suspected his involvement in Jin Jiuzhen''s death. If he also had a backer, as long as he kept his guard up, there was no need to fear other''s suspicions. However, he did not have a backer. There was one more point: this dried river was not very far from that swampy spirit stone quarry. If he had run out of spirit stones, he could return to get more at any time. This was just Mo Wuji''s ideal situation. If he knew that Honest Qi had come looking for him, even if he left a runic imprint outside the spirit stone quarry, he would not dare cultivate at such a close proximity to it. But this might actually be a blessing in disguise. Mo Wuji did not know of Honest Qi''s arrival, so he dared to stay and cultivate so close to the spirit stone quarry. At the same time, Honest Qi did not expect that the person who took the Celestial Sunflower to not run far away, but cultivate nearby. Thus, Mo Wuji minded about his cultivation, while Honest Qi and that veiled woman minded about their search. ¡­ Albeit a cultivator or a researcher, time was always the most valuable thing. Since Mo Wuji was both a researcher and a cultivator, he lost all distractions the moment he started cultivating. At this state, he might only awake if someone went into his immortal cave and ransacked everything. This was also another reason why Mo Wuji didn''t dare cultivate at that spirit stone quarry. If he stayed there and cultivate, his corpse would already have dried up. The spirit stones in Mo Wuji''s storage bag had all been poured out; his 100 meridians started on the circulation technique and absorbed spiritual energy at an extremely astounding rate. Moreover, the surrounding spiritual energy was especially dense, Mo Wuji seemed to increase his cultivation at every second. Two months later, he had charged past the Spirit Building Stage Level 1 and advanced into Spirit Building Stage Level 2. Five months later, Mo Wuji advanced into Spirit Building Stage Level 3. Eight months later, Mo Wuji had broke through the initial levels of Spirit Building and advanced into Spirit Building Stage Level 4. With 100 open meridians, he did not meet with any bottlenecks while cultivating in this low stage. At this moment, Mo Wuji awoke from his cultivation. He had no choice; he had run out spirit stones. Mo Wuji really wanted to bring over some spirit stones from the quarry and continue cultivating. But, he had a sense of longing towards Yan''Er. Eight months had passed, there shouldn''t be any problems with visiting Yan''Er, right? Mo Wuji knew that he was simply comforting himself; as long as he returned, the danger would still be there. However, Mo Wuji did not feel at ease if he didn''t see Yan''Er. No, I have to go back. This trip already took close to a year, and I''m not sure about how Yan''Er is doing. Besides Yan''Er, there''s still Fei Bingzhu and co., I promised to visit them in the Heaven Seeking City. For the entire year in Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Wuji had yet to visit Fei Bingzhu. As Mo Wuji made his decision and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a piercing shrill in the air. That shrill landed on the dried river bed. Mo Wuji cautiously looked out of his immortal cave and discovered that the sound originated from a chipped sword. At the very next instant, a blood covered young man rushed into the river bed and picked that sword up. Another person charged in after him; this person had a head full of silver hair, and his skin was especially white, he had the potential to be a great gigolo. [1] The magic treasure in his hand was a dragon claw; the five glossy blue claws struck fear into people''s hearts. "Ren Tianxing, if you tell me where the place is, I will grant you a swift and easy death." The silver haired man landed in front of the blood covered young man and said coldly. "Ha ha ha!" The young man, Ren Tianxing, laughed ruefully. "Shao Guangjing, what are you? I, Ren Tianxing, will not be threatened. Not just you, even if your Jade Net Sect Head came over, I would not surrender." Mo Wuji was familiar with this Jade Net Sect. He had enmity towards a fella called Shao Feng from that sect. Now, this fella was also from the Jade Net Sect, and he even shared the same ''Shao¡¯ surname, he might be related to that Shao Feng. After the Jade Net Sect''s Shao Guangjing said a name, Mo Wuji subconsciously turned towards the blood covered young man. Ren Tianxing? That name also sounds familiar. Oh! Mo Wuji finally remembered. Before he left the Heaven Seeking Palace, he visited the Assignments Hall. At the entrance, there was the Heaven Seeking Board; the board wrote the rankings of the experts who climbed the Heaven Seeking Palace. He remembered that there was a fella called Gou Zihan in the first place, while this Ren Tianxing was third. Heaven Seeking Palace''s third place should be very strong ah. He can''t beat this Jade Net fella? Shao Guangjing coldly said, "Since you wish to die, then I''ll grant that wish." With that, he raised the dragon claw in his hands, that horrifying cold light brought with it a faint aura of death. Mo Wuji started having doubts, Shao Guangjing was clearly facing that Ren Tianxing, why was he able to feel that deathly aura? Did his abilities and senses improve to such a huge extent after advancing into the Spirit Building Middle Stage? He could even feel the killing intent Shao Guangjing had towards Ren Tianxing? Ren Tianxing remained dauntless; he raised his hand to wipe a trail of blood off the corner of his lips and said disdainfully, "Shao Guangjing, wait till I advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. I could easily destroy a whole nest of trash like you." Mo Wuji instantly made sense of the situation: This Ren Tianxing had yet to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage, but Shao Guangjing was already a Yuan Dan Stage expert. Ren Tianxing should be in the Transcending Mortality Late Stage; for a Transcending Mortality cultivator like him to fight to such an extent against a Yuan Dan cultivator, he wasn¡¯t incapable, but the very opposite. He was truly impressive. "Die for me¡­" The dragon claw in Shao Guangjing¡¯s hands emanated a few trails of horrifying light, and it shot forward. At this instant, Mo Wuji knew what was going on; this Shao fella wasn¡¯t going to kill Ren Tianxing, but him. No wonder why he felt that killing intent; it wasn¡¯t directed at Ren Tianxing but Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji secretly rejoiced over detecting the killing intent early, and celebrated his advancement into the Spirit Building Middle Stage. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die at the very next instant. Mo Wuji¡¯s body shifted to the side as he pumped elemental energy into his Tian Ji Pole. He was clear of the terrifyingness of the dragon claw, and dodging would not help him. This was because the dragon claw still had a boomerang effect, and would turn back to strike him if he dodged it. He might as well take the initiative to strike the dragon claw and block against the attack. "Dang!" The Tian Ji Pole smashed out a flower of fire and crazed elemental energy came surging over, sendind Mo Wuji flying. He crashed against the wall of his immortal cave and immediately coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Yuan Dan Stage was truly strong. Mo Wuji did not bother wiping the blood off his lips as he lifted his Tian Ji Pole again to strike against the returning dragon claw. "Dang!" The clash of elemental energy crazily spalshed out in all directions, destroying a good half of Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal cave. Mo Wuji was stuck thigh-deep in the soil, and at the same time, the dragon claw lost a portion of its power. Seeing the dragon claw fly back to Shao Guangjing, Mo Wuji did not do the obvious, but charged after it. Swinging his pole, he smashed it agaisnt the dragon claw. You think you can get away so easily after ambushing me? At the instant Shao Guangjing made his move, Ren Tianxing also took action. Shao Guangjing saw Ren Tianxing making his move and laughed coldly in his heart. A mere Transcending Mortality cultivator dared to act against him? After killing that ant, his dragon claw would fly back and still have the power to destroy this Ren Tianxing. [1] The direct translation of gigolo is Small White Face. The author is playing on the fact that this person''s skin is extremely white. Chapter 177: Joining Forces to Kill a Yuan Dan Stage Expert Chapter 177: Joining Forces to Kill a Yuan Dan Stage Expert Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Clang!" The sound of another clash exploded. The dragon claw¡¯s speed totally dropped, but Mo Wuji found that it still made a u-turn, before picking up speed on the way back. Is this a spiritual item? Mo Wuji had never used a real spiritual item, as the pill furnace he had could only barely be considered one. However, not using spiritual items did not mean that he did not know about them. He knew that spiritual items possessed the will imprint of a cultivator. Even though Shao Guangjing could form a will imprint in the spiritual item, he was still only a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator whose spiritual would have not fully developed. At the very least his spiritual will would definitely not be stronger than that of Mo Wuji. As he understood this point, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will suddenly entangled the dragon claw and began to destroy the will imprint in it. What he had was no spiritual will technique, but only some spiritual will obtained by chance through the Spirit Strengthening Pill. If he were to truly meet Shao Guangjing face to face, even if his spiritual will was stronger, there was no way that he would be able to break the will imprint on the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator''s weapon while its owner was present. However, Shao Guangjing underestimated Mo Wuji. While fighting a battle with someone else, he was trying to kill Mo Wuji who was tens of meters away. Soon, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will enveloped the dragon claw, and instantly found Shao Guangjing¡¯s will imprint. Although he had destroyed Honest Qi¡¯s will imprint before, that was while taking apart the pill. Because Honest Qi was too strong, he dared not use his spiritual will to directly attack the will imprint then. Yet for Shao Guangjing¡¯s will imprint, Mo Wuji had nothing holding him back. A strong strike by his spiritual will landed on it, and after three hits, a large tear opened up. Following which, he found the trick behind it, and began to rip the will imprint apart as fast as he could. The dragon claw that was ravaging through the air was no more. After Mo Wuji destroyed the will imprint, it stopped dead in its tracks, falling out of the sky. As this item almost took his life, once the dragon claw hit the ground, he swung his pole straight at it. ¡­ Shao Guangjing discovered Mo Wuji, and Ren Tianxing could also sense that there was someone nearby. Although Ren Tianxing could not detect how strong Mo Wuji was, but since Shao Guangjing both could sense and wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he knew that the strength that Mo Wuji possessed was not that great. He chose to attack at the moment that Shao Guangjing attacked Mo Wuji. Since he did escape from the grasp of Shao Guangjing to this location, he had experienced firsthand how deadly the dragon claw was. Ren Tianxing had even made preparations in case Shao Guangjing retracted the dragon claw to attack him. But to the surprise of both of them, Shao Guangjing¡¯s dragon claw would never return. Not only would they never return, but before Ren Tianxing¡¯s blade reached Shao Guangjing, Shao Guangjing spurt out a mouthful of vital blood and halted to a stop for a moment. As the pride of Heaven Seeking Palace, Ren Tianxing¡¯s insight and experience in battle was definitely not something a rogue cultivator could match up to. The moment that Shao Guangjing coughed up blood, he knew that Shao Guangjing¡¯s will imprint had been broken. This was a great opportunity for him, as at the instance that one¡¯s will imprint in a spiritual item gets destroyed, one would enter a state of extreme weakness for a short period of time. Originally, Ren Tianxing had planned to hold back in preparation to run away, but not any more. At full force, he swung his blade down multiple times, all of which landed on Shao Guangjing¡¯s body. Seven to eight arrows of blood burst out of the parts of Shao Guangjing¡¯s body that were slashed, and a blood-curdling scream rang out. He was thrown back, as a sense of fear arose within him. Now it was no longer about whether he could kill these two ants, but rather if could escape with his life. "Die!" While Shao Guangjing was still in the air, a pole swung down at him. The instant that Ren Tianxing¡¯s attack hit Shao Guangjing, Mo Wuji leapt out of the hole, and wielded the Tian Ji Pole in midair. When you¡¯re not strong enough, you must make the best of all opportunities. If you¡¯re weak, and can¡¯t do so, it would be very difficult to stay alive. This was what Mo Wuji felt after arriving at this continent. He could previously dispatch two Spirit Building Stage cultivators while he was at Channel Opening Stage Level 10, not because he was stronger than them, but as he dared to fight with his life on the line, and grab any opportunities that came his way. Ambushing with a hit of the pole, this was grabbing the best opportunity in front of him. While Shao Guangjing was severely injured, he could feel the killing intent behind this swing of the pole, and got a great shock. If he could redo everything, he definitely would not have agitated Mo Wuji. Even if he did, it would wait until after he had killed Ren Tianxing. The timing of Mo Wuji¡¯s attack was impeccable, and Shao Guangjing also seriously wounded. However, there was too large a gap in cultivation levels between Mo Wuji and Shao Guangjing. As the Tian ji Pole was about to hit Shao Guangjing¡¯s hip, he unexpectedly flew up into the air once again. "Crack!" In the end the Tian Ji Pole stuck Shao Guangjing¡¯s ankle, shattering it immediately. Deep inside, Mo Wuji was surprised that even after being injured to such an extent, Shao Guangjing could still raise his energy levels in midair. If he did not interfere in this fight, perhaps Ren Tianxing might not have been able to defeat Shao Guangjing. At the same time, two instances of a blade also pierced through Shao Guangjing¡¯s chest, before Ren Tianxing landed beside Shao Guangjing, holding a broken sword in hand. "Who are you? To be able to destroy my will imprint in my spiritual item¡­" Shao Guangjing knew that it would be difficult to survive, and asked as he stared at Mo Wuji indignantly. Only Nihility God Stage cultivators should be able to destroy his will imprint that quickly in battle. So how did Mo Wuji do it despite obviously not being in the Nihility God Stage? Landing on the ground, and planting his pole on the ground, Mo Wuji replied, "Who I am is not important. What¡¯s important is that you shouldn¡¯t have angered me." If Shao Guangjing did not provoke him, Mo Wuji would not have stuck out of the blue, even though he did not have much of a good impression of Shao Guangjing. The first thing he would have done was to leave the area, not come over to take a look or help anyone. But since Shao Guangjing took the initiative to attack him, with such a chance presented to him, how could he let Shao Guangjing go? "That¡¯s right, I should not have provoked you indeed¡­" After Shao Guangjing finished speaking, he spat out a blob of bloody saliva. The sword in Ren Tianxing¡¯s hands went down once again, this time slicing a line through Shao Guangjing¡¯s forehead. "I am Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dao Gate¡¯s direct disciple. Thank you for your help." Once Ren Tianxing killed Shao Guangjing, he respectfully bowed to Mo Wuji after sheathing his broken sword on his back. As for Shao Guangjing¡¯s storage bag, he did not touch it at all. When Mo Wuji saw that Ren Tianxing had no intention to act against him, he kept his Tian Ji Pole. After all, Ren Tianxing was a direct disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace too, so even if Jade Net Sect knew that he killed Shao Guangjing, what could they do? No matter how impressive Jade Net Sect was, they were not even on the radar of Heaven Seeking Palace. Hence, Ren Tianxing did not have to kill him. "I am Mo Wuji, an outer disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet senior apprentice brother Ren." Mo Wuji returned the respectful greeting. Only then did he have the chance to size Ren Tianxing up. Ren Tianxing had a well bronzed body, a distinctly formed face, with only slightly smaller eyes. Upon hearing Mo WUji¡¯s reply, Ren Tianxing showed an expression of joy, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, you¡¯re also from Heaven Seeking Palace?" Mo Wuji nodded his head, and answered without a hint of shyness, "Of course, because I heard that senior apprentice brother was from Heaven Seeking Palace, so I naturally had to lend a helping hand." "Good, good¡­" Ren Tianxing repeated those words a few times, then pointed at Shao Guangjing¡¯s storage bag, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, everything inside this storage bag shall belong to you now." Mo Wuji fervently declined the offer, "Senior apprentice brother put in the most effort in dealing with Shao Guangjing, and I only offered a little help, so how would I dare to take these things?" To this, Ren Tianxing simply laughed, "I¡¯m directly under the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dao Gate, so I have a lot of resources for cultivation. My reason for coming here is more to test out my skills. To me, this storage bag doesn¡¯t mean much. Junior apprentice brother Mo, there¡¯s no need to be so courteous. If you can¡¯t bear to take everything, I¡¯ll just keep this dragon claw." Mo Wuji was rather sure that Ren Tianxing did not intentionally say that, but instead meant it from the bottom of his heart, hence he replied with thanks, "Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll help myself to it." "There¡¯s nothing wrong. Please keep the storage bag. I¡¯ll have to borrow you previous hiding place to do some closed door cultivation and heal my wounds first too." After he finished speaking, Ren Tianxing leapt straight into the cave in front of Mo Wuji. From the way that Ren Tianxing¡¯s body trembled, Mo Wuji could infer that he had sustained rather serious injuries. Following that, Mo Wuji walked to the side of SHao Guangjing¡¯s limp body, and grabbed the storage bag. Shao Guangjing was only in the Yuan Dan Stage, and had not formed his spiritual will, so Mo Wuji could easily destroy the imprint left that Shao Guangjing left on his storage bag, then left his own on it. Once he scanned through the contents of Shao Guangjing¡¯s storage bag with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji instantly went over the moon. There were tens of thousands of Earth grade spirit stones in Shao Guangjing¡¯s storage bag, but that¡¯s not the most important part. The greatest thing about it was that it had a size many times greater than the storage bag that Mo Wuji had. The gigantic thing that his storage bag could not hold, could fit into this one. Other than that, there was also a longsword in the storage bag. When his spiritual will landed on it, he knew that it was a spiritual item. As for pills and ingredients, they were of secondary importance this time. Mo Wuji himself was an earth pill refiner, so he did not care about the pills at all. With a wave of his hand, a large crater appeared in the dry riverbed , and in went Shao Guangjing¡¯s limp body, before a pile of soil buried him inside. Since Shao Guangjing had given him such a great gift, Mo Wuji would help him to conduct a burial. While Ren Tianxing was still recuperating, Mo Wuji quickly left the area, dug up the piece of buried Celestial Sunflower Gold, and kept it into his new storage bag. After all that, when Mo Wuji returned, Ren Tianxing had already left the cave. Other than the broken blade on his back, there was no other signs of a battle occurring on his body at all. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, what are your plans after this?" As he saw Mo Wuji walking over, Ren Tianxing Chapter 178: Unable to be Proud Chapter 178: Unable to be Proud Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "I wish to make a trip back to the sect before deciding on my next move..." Mo Wuji answered as his intention was to secretly visit Yan¡¯Er before leaving the Heaven Seeking Palace for good. Ren Tianxing replied instantly, "Brother Mo, I¡¯ve found a good place and I¡¯ve heard that there would be a top grade earth fire there. Previously, Shao Guangjing attempted to murder me because I knew of this place. How about Brother Mo and I work together to scan the place before returning to our sect?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "Presently, my ability is way too low which is why I need to return to the sect secretly. The moment I return, I will leave the Heaven Seeking Palace after doing what needs to be done. Therefore, I am not in the mood to search for the top grade earth fire." Mo Wuji knew how valuable this earth fire Ren Tianxing mentioned would be because if it was not, Shao Guangjing would not have tried to murder Ren Tianxing for it. However, Mo Wuji really had no mood for it now as all he wanted to do was to visit Yan¡¯Er before concentrating on increasing his strength. Ren Tianxing nodded, "Brother Mo is right as I agree that we are both still not strong enough. I have left the sect for over a year now, how about both of us head back together¡­" The moment he talked about this, Ren Tianxing seemed to remember something, "Brother Mo, why do you have to secretly return to the sect?" Ren Tianxing did not look like the type of person to betray his trust because if he was, he wouldn¡¯t have shared the location of the earth fire with Mo Wuji. Therefore, Mo Wuji decided to tell him the truth. "This is because someone in the Heaven Seeking Palace wants me dead. If an outer disciple like me returned openly, there would be a high probability of me getting slaughtered very quickly. "How is that possible? Even if junior apprentice brother Mo is an outer disciple, the Heaven Seeking Palace would definitely not kill a fellow sect disciple without any reason," Ren Tianxing said astonishingly. Mo Wuji explained further, "This was because Jin Jiuzhen¡¯s backer suspected me for killing Jin Jiuzhen. Hence, putting up a wanted poster of me. He would probably be waiting for me to walk right back to him at the Heaven Seeking Palace. If not for the one relative I left behind at the Heaven Seeking Palace, I would definitely not return." "Jin Jiuzhen was murdered? Elder Jin Yu suspects you and put you on a wanted poster?" Ren Tianxing could not help but blurt everything out. Jin Jiuzhen¡¯s backer in the Heaven Seeking Palace was Elder Jin Yu therefore, Ren Tianxing understood the situation very quickly. "Is it Elder Jin Yu? I had no idea," Mo Wuji said as he rubbed his nose. Ren Tianxing answered, "Elder Jin Yu is the fifth elder of our sect who is incredibly strong. He is also Jin Jiuzhen¡¯s senior, who in fact, was the one who personally brought Jin Jiuzhen into the Heaven Seeking Palace. If Jin Jiuzhen was murdered, it was no wonder he will go berserk. However, I am never too worried for such disciples." In other words, even though Jin Jiuzhen had excellent top grade spiritual roots, Ren Tianxing held no regards for disciples like him. "Right, why did Elder Jin Yu want to suspect you?" Ren Tianxing sensed something was amiss because Jin Yu was an expert in the sect and he naturally would not suspect anyone without sufficient proof. Mo Wuji replied helplessly, "This was because I did kill Jin Jiuzhen. There was this time when I was sitting in the first row of the lecture I attended and I somehow managed to offend that fella. As I was leaving the Heaven Seeking Palace, he brought along two Spirit Building Stage cultivators to try and assassinate me discreetly¡­" Ren Tianxing stared blankly at Mo Wuji as he knew that Elder Jin Yu would never accuse Mo Wuji without any valid reasoning. For an outer disciple to have the guts to kill Jin Jiuzhen, Mo Wuji was really something else. However, Jin Jiuzhen was also an idiot for bringing just two Spirit Building Stage cultivators to get rid of a capable cultivator like Mo Wuji. Ren Tianxing had no idea that Mo Wuji¡¯s tremendous increase in strength only occurred a few months ago. At that point of time when Jin Jiuzhen ambushed Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was only in the Channel Opening Stage. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, you are not entirely at fault for this incident. More importantly, does Jin Yu have any evidence to prove that you are the one who killed Jin Jiuzhen?" Even though Ren Tianxing and Jin Jiuzhen belonged to the same sect, he could not be bothered about a dandy disciple like Jin Jiuzhen. Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, "He will definitely not have any evidence because his assumption was made based on the fact that I clashed with Jin Jiuzhen before." He dared to make such a statement because Mo Wuji did not take anything from Jin Jiuzhen. Moreover, he used his spiritual will to scan the surrounding to make sure nobody was around to witness that incident. Ren Tianxing laughed out loud before clapping, "Since this was the case, junior apprentice brother Mo can walk by my side as we return to the Heaven Seeking Palace openly. I promise you that even if Elder Jin Yu was standing in front of you, he would not dare to touch even half a strand of your hair. My worry is that the moment you leave the Heaven Seeking Palace, he might find opportunities to assassinate you." "Many thanks senior apprentice brother Ren. I would naturally find my own way to leave the Heaven Seeking Palace when the time is right," Mo Wuji explained the whole incident to Ren Tianxing hoping that he could help him out. Even if Ren Tianxing had no means to help him, it wouldn¡¯t be too huge a problem too. Knowing that Ren Tianxing was capable enough to be ranked third in the standings, Mo Wuji suspected that he must have held a notable status in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Evidently, Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was right. With his spiritual will, why would he need to worry about not being able to find ways to leave the Heaven Seeking Palace? "Alright, let us head back now," Ren Tianxing was very straightforward about this. En route to the Heaven Seeking Palace, Ren Tianxing was able to tell that even though Mo Wuji was almost as fast as him, he was only in the Spirit Building Stage. It was really impressive for a Spirit Building Stage cultivator to be able to fend off Shao Guangjing¡¯s dragon claw. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, you are actually pretty strong. Why are you still in the outer sect?" Ren Tianxing asked as the two of them became much closer after spending two days travelling together. Mo Wuji had no choice but to answer, "I possessed very poor quality spiritual roots but fortunately, I am a very savvy person with a lot of good luck resulting in my achievements thus far. "No wonder!" Ren Tianxing nodded his head as he knew how hard it would be for a person with poor spiritual roots to become an inner disciple at the Heaven Seeking Palace. It was definitely much tougher for Mo Wuji to become an authentic disciple like himself. The fact that Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual aura was not very evident proved that Mo Wuji was not lying when he said he had poor roots. It was already extremely impressive for a person with such poor spiritual roots to end up being an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. "Right, so how were you able to block Shao Guangjing¡¯s dragon claw? Do you know that that is actually a spiritual item?" Ren Tianxing had more than one query in his heart. Mo Wuji refused to reveal the fact that he had spiritual will. So, he paused for a while before saying, "Senior apprentice brother Ren should be aware that every spiritual item had to have the cultivator¡¯s will imprint on it. Nobody, even myself, knows the location of the imprint on the spiritual item itself. My skills were rather decent hence, when Shao Guangjing attacked me with the dragon claw, I continuously attacked that dragon claw because I was determined not to let the dragon claw get away from me. The fact that the Shao Guangjing was a little full of himself together with a little luck on my side, after over 10 strikes on the dragon claw, I managed to destroy the imprint on the dragon claw¡­" Mo Wuji was definitely not b*llshitting about this as it was indeed possible to destroy the cultivator¡¯s will imprint by continuously attacking the imprinted spiritual item. That Shao Guangjing was after all only a cultivator at the Yuan Dan Stage, not the Nihility God Stage. Of course, such probability was extremely low and could be considered negligible. Ren Tianxing replied, "So that¡¯s what happened¡­" He finally understood why Mo Wuji was able to take down the dragon claw and was even able to remove the will imprint on it. Additionally, it seemed as though Mo Wuji had a bit of luck on his side too. Ren Tianxing was the type of cultivator who looked calm and approachable on the surface. However, in his heart, he was extremely prideful because it would be impossible to befriend him unless one was capable enough. One could be talking to him politely but Ren Tianxing would never treat him as a friend or even a competitor on an equal footing as him. As for outer disciples like Mo Wuji, he definitely would not be bother to befriend them. Mo Wuji was different from the rest as he did not regard Ren Tianxing as an incredible person. To Mo Wuji, even if Feng Zhenqiu was standing in front of him, he would treat him the way he would treat a normal person. Originally, Ren Tianxing wanted to help Mo Wuji out because Mo Wuji helped him once plus the fact that Mo Wuji looked like a rather decent person to him. After two days of travelling with him, Ren Tianxing realised that Mo Wuji was extremely different from the other outer sect disciples. The pride inside Ren Tianxing was built on the fact that he had an extraordinary talent to begin with. He realised that the thing in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was not pride but a type of natural calmness. It was just like how Mo Wuji viewed the two incidents where he killed the two Spirit Building Stage cultivators as well as fending off Shao Guangjing¡¯s dragon claw as a natural event. This would mean that if there was a day when Mo Wuji surpassed Ren Tianxing, others would view it as an amazing feat. However, Mo Wuji would just view it as something that was natural, nothing to be amazed about. Mo Wuji¡¯s natural calmness was simply too overwhelming for Ren Tianxing¡¯s pride. In front of Mo Wuji, he was never prideful at all or rather, he simply could not be proud of anything. Even though Mo Wuji was only an outer disciple, he had a confidence that was so much higher than Ren Tianxing¡¯s. To be able to befriend him, Mo Wuji did not view it as something incredible. In his eyes, it was the same as making friends with anybody. Ren Tianxing felt astonished, then gained admiration for him and in the end, as he felt that being friends with Mo Wuji would probably mean nothing at all to Mo Wuji. As the two conversed more, Ren Tianxing found out the many secrets of the universe from Mo Wuji. He agreed with Mo Wuji that this continent was just a planet and outside this planet, there were still the vast universe and many other planets like the Lost Continent. According to Mo Wuji, there were countless of planets like the Lost Continent in the entire vast universe. This meant that there were also a countless number of geniuses like Ren Tianxing himself hence, he really had nothing worth being proud of. Mo Wuji heard a lot about the mysteries of cultivation from Ren Tianxing as well as some classical stories of the Five Elements Desolate Domain and the Lost Continent. It turned out that this Lost Continent used to be an ancient battleground. Cultivators from different clans battled and fought for resources and territories here in the Lost Continent. Even Ren Tianxing had no idea how and why the battle ultimately ended. Other than these, Ren Tianxing answered many questions that Mo Wuji had about cultivation. Mo Wuji never had a mentor and depended solely on his as well as his hard work to open 100 meridians. Even if there was a mistake in his cultivation method, his 100 meridians would not force him to go down the wrong path mindlessly. Mo Wuji benefitted a lot from every sentence that Ren Tianxing said. Mo Wuji believed that if he could just go back and cultivate for another two days, he would definitely be able to advance to Spirit Building Stage Level 5. Chapter 179: Alien Flying Ship Chapter 179: Alien Flying Ship Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - One month later, Mo Wuji and Ren Tianxing arrived back at the Heaven Seeking Palace. In this month, Mo Wuji did not cultivate but he had obtained far more than he could while cultivating. All his various misunderstandings and queries regarding cultivation were detailedly answered by Ren Tianxing. As Mo Wuji and Ren Tianxing entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, they felt like there was something amiss; the Heaven Seeking Palace seemed to be filled with a solemn and anxious atmosphere. Every cultivator they saw would walk by quickly, and most of them had a heavy expression on their face. "Senior apprentice brother, what has happened in the Heaven Seeking Palace?" Mo Wuji grabbed a cultivator who was scampering with his head down. This cultivator seemed to be thinking of something, and to suddenly be grabbed by Mo Wuji infuriated him. As he lifted his head and saw Ren Tianxing, he immediately bowed and said, "Smith Summit inner disciple, Zeng Youkai, greets senior apprentice brother Ren." His angered expression instantly changed into one of respect; one could clearly see the position Ren Tianxing had in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Ren Tianxing grunted, "Did something happen in Heaven Seeking Palace? Why is the atmosphere so tense?" The cultivator hurried replied, "One year ago, an alien flying ship landed in the Ming Han Empire¡¯s capital¡­" "Alien flying ship?" Ren Tianxing and Mo Wuji uttered at the same time; this was their first time hearing about this. Zeng Youkai hastily explained, "Yes, alien flying ship. It came from outer space; it¡¯s not from our continent, nor from the Great World. How do I say it, it¡¯s¡­" Zeng Youkai seemed to be looking for a comprehensive explanation, but his vocabulary was limited. He thought for a good half a day, but he still wasn¡¯t able to think of a proper phrase. "I understand, continue." Ren Tianxiang¡¯s expression had also turned serious. In the past month, he had chatted with Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji had guessed that the Lost Continent was merely a planet in the vast universe. In the vast universe, there could be countless of other planets which were like the Lost Continent. From Zeng Youkai¡¯s description, he suddenly felt as though Mo Wuji¡¯s words had come into reality; this alien flying ship might belong to cultivators from other planets. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji and him rode on his small flying magic treasure back to the Heaven Seeking Palace, and did not pick up on this news. Mo Wuji was also shocked inside. In actuality, Mo Wuji did not find the fact that there were other planets to be strange. After all, he came from a planet outside of the Lost Continent, i.e. Earth. It was just that Earth was a technology haven without cultivators. However, he had just discussed with Ren Tianxing the possibilities of countless other planets, and he did not expect for it to actually happen in front of his eyes. Naturally, he knew about the Great World that Zeng Youkai mentioned; it was the other half of this planet. However, to get there, one must traverse across the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t really concerned about this; he was only concerned about that alien flying ship. If this flying ship could travel through space to land on the Lost Continent¡¯s planet, then could it also travel to Earth? As he thought of this, he shook his head. He was overthinking things. With his measly cultivation, even if this alien flying ship was presented to him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fly it back to Earth. "Yes!" Zeng Youkai replied and continued, "After discovering the Lost Continent, that flying ship was extremely excited. After they alighted, they immediately occupied the Ming Han Empire capital. Thereafter, they continued to expand their reach by occupying the rest of the Ming Han Empire¡¯s territory¡­" Ren Tianxing replied quizzically, "How did such a thing happen? Didn¡¯t the Ming Han Empire¡¯s empire protecting sect step in?" Zeng Youkai answered bitterly, "Didn¡¯t step in? The sect sent people over, but not only did they not destroy those barbarians from the alien flying ship, they were even counterattacked. Eventually, the Ming Han Empire¡¯s empire protecting sect, the High Yuan Sect, and Ming Han Empire¡¯s other Quasi-Heaven sects, such as the Sky City, Misty Sword Gate and the Hundred Smiths Sect were all decimated. Even more Earth and Xuan sects were destroyed¡­" Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air. He had never visited the Ming Han Empire, but the High Yuan Sect and the Misty Sword Gate had reverberating reputations. They were no worse than the Heavenly Temple; they actually got annihilated by the alien cultivators? How was it possible for Ren Tianxing and him to not have heard of such a huge event? Zeng Youkai continued, "It was because of these incapable b*stards; they requested the help of our Heaven Seeking Palace, and they let our Dean Fei Ming perish in the Ming Han Empire¡­" "What? You said Dean Fei perished in the Ming Han Empire?" Due to his impatience, Ren Tianxing grabbed Zeng Youkai¡¯s arm. Zeng Youkai cried out sharply in pain; Ren Tianxing loosened his grip but his expression became more serious, "Dean Fei is a True God Stage expert, how was it possible for him to perish?" Zeng Youkai didn¡¯t mind Ren Tianxing¡¯s bearish actions, but replied in a downcasted manner, "Those barbarians are far too impressive, and their flying treasures are constantly landing within the five empires. Not only Dean Fei, but many of our Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s senior apprentice brothers and sisters have fallen in the battlefield. I¡¯m also heading towards the battlefield, and I was on my way to exchange my contribution points for some pills." Ren Tianxing said furiously, "Don¡¯t tell me all those that died were from the Heaven Seeking Palace? What about the five empire¡¯s other sects?" "It¡¯s not just the Heaven Seeking Palace, other sects have also sent their experts to the battlefield. Our Dean Feng is now leading the Heaven Seeking Palace, and is dispatching disciples to the battlefield," Zeng Youkai replied. Ren Tianxing couldn¡¯t be bothered to continue questing Zeng Youkai but sprinted towards the sect¡¯s main hall. Mo Wuji hastily followed after him. For such a huge event to happen, no one would be spared. The sect¡¯s main hall gathered disciples throughout the Heaven Seeking Palace; Mo Wuji did not recognise a single one of them. On the other hand, as Ren Tianxing entered, many people immediately went to greet him. "Everyone be silent. This time, we will be fighting in the Thunder Fog Forest Battlefield. True Lake Elder, Zhu Yueshan, will be leading¡­" An elder walked to the front of the hall and silenced the individual chatter. Mo Wuji was familiar with the Thunder Fog Forest; he had visited it back in Cheng Yu State. However, he also knew that the Thunder Fog Forest was vast and extended across many empires. It definitely wasn¡¯t that small segment which he had explored. At the moment, Mo Wuji did not care about the Thunder Fog Forest, nor the battle with the alien cultivators, but Yan¡¯Er. Seeing Ren Tianxing converse with other cultivators, Mo Wuji decided to leave the main hall and visit the Pill Pagoda. With such a big event in the five empires, that Dao Gao¡¯s Jin Yu probably wouldn¡¯t continue to care about a mere outer disciple like him. As Mo Wuji was about to leave the main hall, he saw Yan¡¯Er walk in with a middle-aged woman. Behind them, was a young lady. Mo Wuji had seen this young lady many times before, she was one of the twins by Granny Linglong. "Greetings Pill Master Jinwen." Unexpectedly, as that middle-age woman entered the hall, many disciples went over to greet her. Even the elder who called for silence also clasped his hands and greeted her. Mo Wuji did not put any of this to heart as his gaze landed on Yan¡¯Er. He had not seen Yan¡¯Er for a year, and she had become slim and graceful, like a freshly bloomed flower. The scar on her face had disappeared, and her looks were increasingly moving. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was in a jumble. This was clearly a familiar face, but he felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Just now, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s eyes had landed on him, but it continued to sweep past him. Yan¡¯Er¡¯s entire body was rippling with spirituality; even Mo Wuji who did not have spiritual roots could feel her spirituality. Yan¡¯Er had successfully built her spirit, and her level wasn¡¯t low either. Mo Wuji suddenly felt both pain and joy in his heart. He wished for Yan¡¯Er to build her spirits, but he also did not want her to truly forget him. "Yan¡¯Er, you¡¯re already in Spirit Building Stage?" With single step, Mo Wuji landed by Yan¡¯Er¡¯s side and asked with a hint of pleasant surprise. If Yan¡¯Er had truly built her spirits, then Yan¡¯Er¡¯s cultivation speed was simply astounding, it was even faster than him. One had to know, he had opened 100 meridians. "Who are you?" It wasn¡¯t Yan¡¯Er who replied, but the middle-aged woman beside her. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "I¡¯m Yan¡¯Er¡¯s friend, outer sect disciple Mo Wuji. May I ask this senior is?" The middle-aged woman frowned and said coldly, "Then move out of the way. Don¡¯t block the road." Mo Wuji also frowned. Who is this woman, why is she so rude? "Yan¡¯Er, do you remember me?" Even though he was dissatisfied with this middle-aged woman, Mo Wuji continued to question Yan¡¯Er. According to what Granny Linglong suggested, he should spend more time with Yan¡¯Er before she advanced into the Spirit Building Stage. However, during his first visit, Yan¡¯Er was in a critical moment for her closed doors cultivation. He could only leave and visit when Yan¡¯Er had emerged from the closed doors. Unfortunately, there was the Jin Jiuzhen incident, causing him to be unable to return to the sect for a period of time. However, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s cultivation was truly too fast. It was just a year, but Yan¡¯Er had actually successfully built her spirits. Yan¡¯Er¡¯s brows slightly knitted as she she looked at Mo Wuji in doubt. She did not understand why Mo Wuji was calling her with such affection. He even said that he was her friend. Since when did she get such a friend? "Get away!" Seeing how Mo Wuji did not know his place, the middle-aged woman grunted and lifted her hand, sending a push towards Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s reaction was fast and he tried to dodge in the shortest time possible, he was still affected by the force of her palm and he almost tumbled on the ground. "Pill Master Jinwen, how could stoop so low and treat a junior like this?" Ren Tianxing immediately walked over and said coldly. The middle-aged woman clearly recognised Ren Tianxing; she merely snorted and pulled Yan¡¯Er away. "Who¡¯s that woman?" Mo Wuji lamented in his heart. Ren Tianxing smiled ruefully and said softly, "She¡¯s Granny Linglong¡¯s first disciple, Shi Jinwen, Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner, an expert at True Lake Stage Level 9. Mo Wuji stared at the middle-aged woman with his eyes wide open. She¡¯s actually Yan¡¯Er¡¯s senior apprentice sister? Did this woman spend her lifespan on a dog? Granny Linglong was so young and beautiful, how could her first disciple be this middle-aged woman? Mo Wuji was soon to recover; this was not the time to rant about the middle-aged woman. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji took a step forward and pulled that twin, "Senior apprentice sister, you didn¡¯t tell Yan¡¯Er about me?" Chapter 180: I Will Always Be Your Big Brother Chapter 180: I Will Always Be Your Big Brother Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Ah¡­" The twin stammered before she continued apologetically, "I wasn¡¯t able to do it in time, Yan¡¯Er had always been behind closed doors." Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned cold; this was clearly an excuse. He did not believe that Granny Linglong was lying to him previously, even if he did not have the time and opportunity to visit Yan¡¯Er, Granny Linglong should have told her about him. "Yan¡¯Er, I¡¯m Mo Wuji. You really can¡¯t remember me?" This time, Mo Wuji did not chase after her, but shouted out loud. Everyone¡¯s eyes landed on Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji had left the sect for nearly a year and didn¡¯t know Yan¡¯Er¡¯s place in the sect. But no one else in the Heaven Seeking Palace didn¡¯t know who Yan¡¯Er was. She was the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s only mutant penta-elemental spiritual root, and was also the disciple with the fastest cultivating speed. In a single year, she had leaped past the Channel Opening Stage; not only did she open 100 spirit channels, she had cultivated to Channel Opening Stage Level 10 before she successfully built her spirit. At this moment, Yan¡¯Er was already an expert at Spirit Building Stage Level 7. Many could clearly imagine, in the foreseeable future, Lady Yan¡¯Er could be the Heaven Seeking Palace junior generation¡¯s first True God Stage expert. If not for the alien flying ship event, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s name would shake the entire Lost Continent, much less the proud geniuses of the Heaven Seeking Palace. Because of this incident with the alien cultivators, Granny Linglong assigned Shi Jinwen to stay by Yan¡¯Er¡¯s side. Not only was Shi Jinwen a Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner, her strength was also reputable within the Heaven Seeking Palace. "Mo Wuji? You were the one who sent me to master and pleaded her to save me?" After Yan¡¯Er heard that name, she immediately turned her head. Mo Wuji was ecstatic; he didn¡¯t expect for someone to really tell Yan¡¯Er about him. It was probably Granny Linglong herself. "Yes, it¡¯s me. Yan¡¯Er, you really don¡¯t remember the past?" Mo Wuji said hastily. Seeing Yan¡¯Er take the initiative to speak with Mo Wuji, Shi Jinwen was discontented but she didn¡¯t say anything. Yan¡¯Er wasn¡¯t only the treasure of the Pill Pagoda, but the treasure of the entire Heaven Seeking Palace. Yan¡¯Er softly said, "Brother Mo, I may not remember the past but master had told me about you. She told me to remember your kindness; if you didn¡¯t save me, I would have died a long time ago." Even though Mo Wuji could hear a rich sense of gratitude in Yan¡¯Er¡¯s voice, there was no hint of joy and glee. Yan¡¯Er was no longer the girl who stuck close to him; who did everything for him. She finally had her own opinions and her own thoughts. Mo Wuji really wanted to continue to talk about the Northern Qin Prefecture and the Cheng Yu State. Granny Linglong did not know about those matters, and it would require him to personally tell her. But after seeing Yan¡¯Er¡¯s independence and gratitude, Mo Wuji suddenly lost all urges to do so. Let the past remain in the past; didn¡¯t he also wished for Yan¡¯Er to have her own opinions and ideas? Now, Yan¡¯Er had all that, and she even had a strong and dependable master. He should be happy for her. "Many thanks Brother Mo. I had long wanted to pay you a visit, but I had always been in closed door cultivations. This time, master isn¡¯t around and I pestered senior apprentice sister to bring me to the alien cultivator battlefield, that¡¯s why we had the chance to meet¡­" As she spoke, Yan¡¯Er retrieved a storage bag and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, this is a little token of appreciation. I know that it is nothing compared to your saving grace¡­ but please don¡¯t be unhappy with the things inside¡­" Mo Wuji subconsciously accepted the gift. In reality, a storage bag itself was already an extravagant gift. What about a storage bag with things inside? "Yan¡¯Er, if you wish to know about the past, I¡¯ll always tell it to you," A sudden sense of loss overcame him, causing you to unknowing say the words he did not intend to say. Yan¡¯Er shook her head, "Brother Mo, senior apprentice sister told me that my rapid pace of cultivation is due to the purity of my heart; it¡¯s clear and free of distractions. If I know too much of my past, my cultivation might not be as fast. But I am still extremely grateful towards Brother Mo. Thank you." With that, Yan¡¯Er bowed to Mo Wuji, "Perhaps after I achieve success in my cultivation, I can come find Brother Mo. I hope that when that time comes, Brother Mo could tell me many interesting stories of the past." The past was interesting? Mo Wuji lifted his head to see the barely familiar Yan¡¯Er and suddenly felt dispirited. Yan¡¯Er was able to achieve such stellar results was not simply due to her spiritual roots quality, but her pure and clear heart was also an important reason. No other cultivator was like Yan¡¯Er, to be free from the shackles of the outside world and have a heart free of distractions. "Many thanks Lady Yan¡¯Er for your gift. I will keep it gratefully." Mo Wuji kept the storage bag and suddenly laughed, "Actually, there aren¡¯t really many stories, I¡¯ve also forgotten many of them. How about this, if Lady Yan¡¯Er has anything that troubles you in the future, you can come find me, Mo Wuji. In my heart, I will always be your big brother." "Ahem!" Shi Jinwen snorted, "A mere outer disciple speaks such big words. Yan¡¯Er, let¡¯s go." Yan¡¯Er turned to bow once more to Mo Wuji, "Many thanks Brother Mo. Yan¡¯Er will definitely remember your words. With that, Yan¡¯Er did not dawdle any further as she turned and walked to Shi Jinwen¡¯s side. Mo Wuji looked at the distant Yan¡¯Er and deep feelings flooded into his heart. He had transmigrated into this world for a little over a year, but he had yet to truly see himself as a cultivator. He had done many things, which had evoked many feelings within him. His insistence on returning to visit Yan¡¯Er; his remembrance of Fei Bingzhu and the Tao Ao couple; his guilt towards Aunt Eleven who gave up her chance to enter the Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate to help send Mo Xiangtong away... On the other hand, Yan¡¯Er was able to quickly integrate into her identity as a cultivator; she repaid her debts of gratitude and pursued the Dao of Cultivation with an earnest heart. She did not waste her grand path because of these feelings, and she clearly separated her personal and business matters. Was this what he needed to do too? Mo Wuji shook his head; this was not necessary. He had his own path, and he will carve his own path. To him, things which had to be remembered, must be remembered. At this moment, a barefooted man with a sheathless longsword on his back landed at the front of the hall. This barefooted man swept his gaze across the hall. Mo Wuji suddenly felt as though a sword had ripped his clothes apart and his whole body was being examined. "Greetings Elder Zhu!" As soon as this barefooted man appeared, the disciples in the hall bowed and greeted him. The barefooted man nodded and quickly said, "This trip to the battlefield will be led and Elder Shi Jinwen from the Pill Pagoda. Disciples below the Transcending Mortality Stage, outer disciples, and service disciples, leave the hall now. Mo Wuji jolted, what¡¯s going on? He was still intending to follow the crowd to the alien battlefield, and it would also be a good way to protect Yan¡¯Er. Even though Yan¡¯Er had a higher cultivation level than him, she had always been in closed door cultivations. She did not know about the dangers of other cultivators and the schemes that they could come out with. Unexpectedly, the Sword Lake leader, Zhu Yueshan actually decided that outer disciples did not have the right to take part in battle. Mo Wuji was soon to react, he said to Ren Tianxing, "Senior apprentice brother Ren, we will meet again in the future." He guessed that Ren Tianxing would definitely take part in the battle. Since he didn¡¯t have the rights, he would first visit the Heaven Seeking City. Yan¡¯Er had a decent cultivation, and she had Shi Jinwen by her side. He actually didn¡¯t need to worry much about her safety Ren Tianxing understood the hidden meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words; he retrieved a wooden box and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, I believe that we will meet very soon. You don¡¯t have to worry about that matter, I believe that he will also be going to the battlefield. This box contains something which will be useful to you. Take it." "Alright, many thanks senior apprentice brother Ren." Mo Wuji accepted it, turned and left. Since this place did not welcome an outer disciple like him, he did not need to continue staying here. He understood the meaning behind Ren Tianxing¡¯s words; he did not need to worry about Jin Yu. With such a major event in the five empires, Jin Yu was sure to have gone to the battlefield. As he left the hall, Mo Wuji opened the box Ren Tianxing gave him; there was a mask-type spiritual item inside. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude, he naturally understood why Ren Tianxing gave him this mask. Even if Jin Yu was no longer in the Heaven Seeking Palace, this thing was really like coal in winter. Mo Wuji was intending to return to his immortal cave, but he remembered that the outer sect mountain had nothing much for him. Moreover, Chao Buheng could be considered his friend; now that he had offended Jin Yu, this was not a good time to find Chao Buheng. After a slight deliberation, Mo Wuji decided to visit the Heaven Seeking City. Zhen Shaoke might have arrived at the Heaven Seeking City. ¡­ As he reached Heaven Seeking City, Mo Wuji felt that the solemnity from the alien cultivators¡¯ invasion was much more pronounced. He had visited the Heaven Seeking City several times before, but it had never been like it was now. There were very little people on the streets and even the shophouses were completely deserted. Mo Wuji specially visited the Luohai Merchant House to inquire about the Nine Moons Pill House, but unfortunately, he didn¡¯t get any news of the Nine Moons Pill House entering the Heaving Seeking City. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t worried of this fact. It was difficult to obtain land in the Heaven Seeking City. As a late incumbent shop, it was perfectly normal for it to be able to purchase a shophouse. He did not want to return the Heaven Seeking Palace, and he had nothing left for him at the Heaven Seeking City. Mo Wuji was still deliberating over whether he should go to the battlefield alone when suddenly someone called him, "Junior apprentice brother Mo." What a familiar voice. Mo Wuji turned to see someone familiar, Cen Shuyin. Compared to their previous encounters, Cen Shuyin¡¯s face was paler, and she had a haggard expression. Still, it could not hide her beauty. Not good, Cen Shuyin must be like this because of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky. Mo Wuji¡¯s first thought was to immediately run away. Chapter 181: The Deal with Cen Shuyin Chapter 181: The Deal with Cen Shuyin Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Without waiting for Mo Wuji to take his leave, Cen Shuyin had already stood in front of him to prevent him from leaving, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, why have I not seen you around recently?" Mo Wuji gave an awkward smile, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, aren¡¯t you seeing me now? I have actually been wandering around this area all this time." "Really? But I¡¯ve heard from the others that you only just returned to the sect? Fortunately, I was quick to arrive here or else I might miss you again," Cen Shuyin said it with a sarcastic tone. By now, if Mo Wuji could not tell that Cen Shuyin had deliberately followed him from the sect to the Heaven Seeking City, he must be an idiot, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, I agree that my magic skill for the lightning body tempering was a little odd. I did warn you when I gave you the technique that this method of cultivating would likely result in death. If senior apprentice sister Cen ran into trouble while cultivating and had to find trouble with me, there is really nothing I can do." Mo Wuji extended his arms and thought to himself, now that things ended up bad, she can do whatever she wants with me. Cen Shuyin said coldly, "Oh, how did you know something went wrong in my cultivation and I¡¯m here to find trouble with you? Could it be that you already knew there was problem with this technique?" Mo Wuji thought to himself, your face was evidently pale. Your cultivation attribute was obviously ice yet you choose to cultivate the skill which would result in a fire burning within a person. I should really leave the world of cultivation if I could not tell that this clash of elements would lead to a problem when cultivating and hence, your visit. Even though that was what Mo Wuji thought, he replied with a stern face, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, I¡¯ve told you previously that the martial technique was not safe and that cultivating it would put your life at risk. However, you insisted to have it." Cen Shuyin took a deep breath as she tried her best to calm down, "I¡¯ll just ask you one question now. Did you successfully manage to cultivate it?" Mo Wuji answered honestly, "Yes, I succeeded but during cultivation, I faced some problems and amended some of the circulation routes on my own." He could not lie to Cen Shuyin about this because she had witnessed him spending two days in the Lightning Tempering Room. She was not an idiot to not have already guessed that he succeeded. "You amended some of the circulation routes?" Cen Shuyin widened her eyes as she stared at Mo Wuji. This woman was really too beautiful. Seeing Cen Shuyin widened her eyes, Mo Wuji could not help but compliment her in his heart. Cen Shuyin had no idea that Mo Wuji was not thinking about the same thing as her. She thought to herself, how dare a mere Channel Opening Stage cultivator amend the circulation route on his own? Is he really sick of living? "How did you amend it?" Cen Shuyin blurted out this question. Mo Wuji did not answer as this was his secret and Cen Shuyin had one too many question. "Why don¡¯t you try and show it to me?" Noticing that Mo Wuji refused to answer her question, Cen Shuyin asked once more. Mo Wuji laughed, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, the Seven Style Lightning Sky¡¯s first style is my life saving technique. Why should I show it to you in this crowded city when I am not related to you?" As long as this woman was not here to find trouble with him, he had nothing to worry about. It was only after Mo Wuji¡¯s words that Cen Shuyin realised how unrelated the two of them were. For this lightning affinity magic skill, Cen Shuyin waited in the Heaven Seeking Palace for a total of nine months and she could no longer care about anything else as she said with a serious face, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, how would I know if your Seven Style Lightning Sky is real if you don¡¯t show it to me?" "I am sure you know it is real but the only drawback is that it was an incomplete magic skill," Seeing how Cen Shuyin was caught in a tangle, Mo Wuji knew that it would be very difficult to resolve this matter today. In terms of strength, Mo Wuji was still far behind Cen Shuyin. "I¡¯ve heard that you wanted to follow senior apprentice brother Ren to the battlefield but was rejected because Elder Zhu had no intentions to bring an outer disciple out right?" Cen Shuyin suddenly changed the topic. "And so?" Mo Wuji answered calmly. With his average cultivation level, Mo Wuji did have intentions to enter the battlefield to make himself stronger. After arriving here, Mo Wuji was aware that depending on closed door cultivation alone would never make him a top expert. "I have a mini flying spiritual item with me and if you are able to make sure I master the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, I am willing to gift this mini flying magic treasure to you. As long as you have this flying magic treasure, you need not depend on a sect to go over to the battlefield," Cen Shuyin took a deep breath and stared at Mo Wuji. She did not believe that even this flying magic treasure could not tempt Mo Wuji. "What?" Mo Wuji suddenly became exuberant as he heard this. He had always dreamt of having a flying spiritual item but could never afford it because most flying spiritual items could not be bought with spirit stones. Even if it could be bought with spirit stones, the lowest quality flying spiritual item would cause at least a million Earth grade spirit stones. Even with his few hundred thousand of Earth grade spirit stones, he really could not afford it. "Is this true?" Mo Wuji asked once more. Cen Shuyin gave a convincing answer, "My words are even truer than true gold." "Deal!" Mo Wuji subconsciously extended his hand to shake Cen Shuyin¡¯s hand but he realised the inappropriateness of his action when he saw that Cen Shuyin¡¯s hand did not even move an inch. Seeing how Mo Wuji withdrew his awkward hand, Cen Shuyin finally said, "Let¡¯s return to the sect¡¯s Immortal Training Tower immediately." As she was speaking, Cen Shuyin drew out her flying magic treasure in the street which was actually a flying car. The flying car magic treasure was extremely exquisite which looked very beautiful on the outside. "Come on in," Cen Shuyin got into her flying car first before calling out for Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji got on the flying car, he could smell a faint scent. The flying car magic treasure was decorated by Cen Shuyin into a lady¡¯s chamber making Mo Wuji slightly awkward. If he were to successfully help Cen Shuyin cultivate the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, would she be giving this flying car to him? This looked more like a lady¡¯s flying magic treasure. Cen Shuyin did not say anything while Mo Wuji felt as though he was tricking a small princess for her flying magic treasure. He then coughed and said, "I¡¯ve heard that the alien flying ship would be able to move across space therefore, I was wondering what grade of flying magic treasure would it be." "Rumours were spreading that only those with a Celestial Sunflower Gold would be able to cultivate a flying magic treasure which can transverse across space. It should be considered at least a supreme grade spiritual item." Cen Shuyin actually replied as she chose not to ignore Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew from the start that Cen Shuyin was very knowledgeable, however, he never expected Cen Shuyin to even know about the material for building a flying ship that can transverse across space. He was looking forward to having more of his questions answered as he asked yet again, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, do you have any idea where something like the Celestial Sunflower Gold would normally appear?" Cen Shuyin gave Mo Wuji a faint look before taking her time to reply, "According to what I know, there are no Celestial Sunflower Gold within the Lost Continent. This is an alien treasure which is considered to be extremely valuable so please don¡¯t think too much about it." "What does the Celestial Sunflower Gold look like?" Mo Wuji was actually surprisingly interested in the flying magic treasure. He might not have the opportunity now, but who knows if he will ever return to Earth? Understanding some of these would not affect him negatively. "The true Celestial Sunflower Gold looked like a sunflower with a pitched black body which feels sturdy and cooling¡­" Before Cen Shuyin could finish her sentence, Mo Wuji was dumbfounded. Sunflower looking, pitched black body, sturdy and cooling...Isn¡¯t it describing the huge sunflower shaped black iron in my storage bag? Could I have accidentally found a huge Celestial Sunflower Gold? The more Mo Wuji thought about it, the more he believed that it was possible. Mo Wuji completely neglected the part where Cen Shuyin mentioned that there was no Celestial Sunflower Gold in the entire Lost Continent. Let¡¯s not talk about how huge the Lost Continent was and focus on how it would even be impossible for normal people to search the entire Lost Sky Ruins. No matter how much Cen Shuyin¡¯s master knew, it would be impossible for him to confirm that there was no Celestial Sunflower Gold in the Lost Continent. At this moment, Mo Wuji could only burst out laughing. Now that he obtained a rather complete piece of the Celestial Sunflower Gold, did this mean that he could one day return to Earth? Mo Wuji had to increase his speed of cultivation quickly before finding a spiritual item refiner to make use of his Celestial Sunflower Gold to make a spaceship. Mo Wuji was originally intending to pass his amended Lightning Flash cultivation technique to Cen Shuyin only when they returned to the sect. However, now that he found out from Cen Shuyin that he most possibly obtained a Celestial Sunflower Gold, he was feeling exhilarated. Retrieving a pen and paper, Mo Wuji wrote out the Lightning Flash cultivation technique neatly and quickly before passing the paper to Cen Shuyin, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, this is my amended version of the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky. As to whether you will succeed in cultivating it, I am really not sure." Cen Shuyin grabbed the cultivation technique from Mo Wuji and after one glance, she stared suspiciously at Mo Wuji, "Why do I feel that the back portion of your amended version of the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky is the same cultivation technique for spiritual circulation?" Cen Shuyin had analysed the incomplete first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky countless of times therefore, she could immediately tell which part was amended in one glance. Mo Wuji blushed because he only knew the . If he don¡¯t amend according to that technique, what else could he refer to? "This was indeed the technique I used to cultivate so if you choose not to believe, forget it. I will not want your flying magic treasure either¡­" "No need, I will follow this technique while I¡¯m in the Ice Tempering Room. You can alight now and wait for me outside the Immortal Training Tower," Cen Shuyin stood up the moment she finished what she had to say. This was when Mo Wuji realised that the flying car had already arrived at the Heaven Seeking Palace. As he descended the flying car, he was so envious of her having a flying magic treasure. If he had a flying magic treasure back then, he would have avoided the clash with Jin Jiuzhen and ultimately not start a feud with Jin Yu. Seeing Cen Shuyin turned her back in a hurry, Mo Wuji suddenly mentioned, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, I know my words may sound ridiculous but I would suggest you not use the intermediate grade Ice Tempering Room to cultivate the technique I gave you. If you trust me, use the highest grade Ice Tempering Room to cultivate." Mo Wuji was unsure if she heard his advice as her silhouette disappeared in a jiffy. Mo Wuji wanted to leave immediately but felt frustrated at the thought of Cen Shuyin¡¯s flying magic treasure. A flying magic treasure simply meant too much to him. Now that he was at Spirit Building Stage 4 with a lot of spirit stones with him, Mo Wuji decided to head towards the Immortal Training Tower for closed door training too. He could cultivate while he wait for Cen Shuyin but what if Cen Shuyin succeeded? Chapter 182: Cultivating With All Meridians Open Chapter 182: Cultivating With All Meridians Open Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - This time, Mo Wuji did not choose the Lightning Tempering Room, but instead, the best Spiritual Energy Tempering Room. Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s best Spiritual Energy Tempering Room cost 10,000 Earth spirit stones a day. Normally Yuan Dan Stage cultivators would not even use this tempering room, because it was too expensive. Most closed door cultivation would last for half a year to a year long, and no one had the financial ability to spend that much spirit stones. However, Mo Wuji did not care. He had a large amount of spirit stones on him, and since the Five Great Empires were in disarray, if he did not quickly cultivate to raise his cultivation level now, what would he be waiting for? Spirit stones were meant to be used to raise one¡¯s cultivation level, and he had even seen a spirit stone quarry before, so this didn¡¯t mean much to him. In Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, a Spiritual Energy Tempering Room simply had slightly denser spiritual energy. So as long as he had enough spirit stones, he would be able to achieve a similar effect. Of course, he chose to cultivate in a Spiritual Energy Tempering Room, firstly because he dared not cultivate at his house alone, and secondly because he was waiting for Cen Shuyin here. But once he entered the Spiritual Energy Tempering Room, Mo Wuji knew that he was completely wrong. The Spiritual Energy Tempering Room of Heaven Seeking Palace was much more effective than even the spirit stone quarry. After all, there were still some impurities in the spirit stone quarry, while in the Immortal Training Tower, spiritual energy was much more pure. On top of that, the movement of spiritual energy also encompassed some traces of cultivation dao. Within a mere day, Mo Wuji had advanced to Spirit Building Stage Level 5. Although from his interaction with Ren Tianxing, he knew that he would advance very quickly once he did some closed door cultivation, he did not expect it to be this fast. Mo Wuji was enveloped in pure spiritual energy, and a whirlpool became to form around him. Every time he seemed to start a round of circulation, the spiritual energy whirlpool automatically started to match his cultivation needs. In his heart, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised. Even if it cost 100,000 Earth spirit stones a day, he would feel that renting this room was worth it, much less if it cost 10,000. The Immortal Training Tower was originally a training tower built on a spirit vein, so while Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was low, his rate of absorbing spiritual energy was off the charts. Add on the fact that he chose the room with the densest spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the air formed waves that rushed at him one by one. If a True God Stage expert appeared at the Immortal Training Tower, he would sense that the spiritual energy ripples were unusual. However other than those who went to the frontlines, only one or two were left holding the fort in the depths of Heaven Seeking Palace. They would not appear unless something threatened the safety of the sect. The original plan was to cultivate for a few days before going to take a look at the ice tempering room, but in the end Mo Wuji used up half a month for cultivation. In the half a month, he had advanced from Spirit Building Stage Level 5 to the Great Circle of Spirit Building Stage Level 6. It was only a step away from Spirit Building Stage Level 7. But this step seemed ever so far away to Mo Wuji. In the few days after he reached the Great Circle of Spirit Building Stage Level 6, regardless of how much spiritual energy he absorbed, he remained at the same level. Towards the end, Mo Wuji began taking cultivation pills. He could feel his cultivation rising steadily, but just not breaking through that final barrier. Even though it was only one level of difference between Spirit Building Stage Level 6 and 7, the gap was very great. One was in the intermediate Spirit Building Stage, while the other was in the advanced Spirit Building Stage. It was as different as night and day. To Mo Wuji, at Spirit Building Stage Level 7 it might be possible for him to escape from Transcending Mortality Stage experts. However, at Level 6, it would be rather dangerous. He was about to go to the battlefield, so advancing to Spirit Building Stage Level 7 was a must. At this point, he grinded his teeth together, and retrieved a jade box, opening it to reveal a shiny spirit stone. Regardless whether other people used Heaven grade spirit stones to cultivate, he was determined to do so today in order to breakthrough to Spirit Building Stage Level 7. If anyone found out that Mo Wuji was using a Heaven grade spirit stone to break through, they would probably vomit three litres of blood on the spot. Heaven grade spirit stones were usually mined from an Earth grade spirit stone mine, and if only a couple could be found in the entire mine, it would be considered very good luck already. Using such a spirit stone to breakthrough to stages beyond the Earth Realm, even for advancing from Transcending Mortality Stage to Yuan Dan Stage, was a luxury. But now, Mo Wuji wanted to use the Heaven grade spirit stone to advance to Spirit Building Stage Level 7. This was indeed a waste of resources. He always believed that no matter how good an item, if it was not used, then it wasn¡¯t something good at all. Since his strength had increased, he could go to search for Heaven grade spirit stones. Leaving one by his side and not bearing to use it to cultivate, if that led to his demise at the hands of an enemy, the Heaven grade spirit stone would just follow him to the grave. Because of this line of thought, Mo Wuji took out the Heaven grade spirit stone without hesitation. The spiritual energy in the Spiritual Energy Tempering Room was already at a frightening density, including some cultivation dao in its midst. Once he took out the Heaven grade spirit stone, a sliver of consciousness even got added into the mix, and the cultivation dao became even clearer than before. As Mo Wuji gripped the Heaven grade spirit stone tightly and began spiritual energy circulation, a river of pure spiritual energy directly gushed into every meridian of his. At this moment, all 100 of his meridians seemed to have spiritual energy raging within. "Bang!" Just one round of circulation later, the gap between Spirit Building Stage Level 6 and Level 7 was breached, and Mo Wuji¡¯s strength instantly rose wildly. His original ability to absorb spiritual energy was already that strong, and once he took out the Heaven grade spirit stone, a chain reaction happened. A rich and pure spiritual energy fog totally surrounded Mo Wuji, and within the fog an even purer existence in the fog cleared the impurities within his meridians, at the same time rapidly raising his cultivation level. Spirit Building Stage Level 8, Level 9... "Crack" When the spirit stone in his hand turned to ashes, Mo Wuji got jolted out of his immersion in cultivation. Lowering his head, he saw the Heaven grade spirit stone that perished in his hands, and he gazed at it with gratitude. While Mo WUji was a mortal, he had opened many meridians in his path of cultivation, and was no stranger to cultivating. He had cultivated in placed almost devoid of spiritual energy, and alse in a spirit stone quarry, so he was very clear what cultivation entailed. However, this was the first time that he got completely drunk in his closed door cultivation, the source of which was the Heaven grade spirit stone that he obtained. Only one Heaven grade spirit stone, and with the addition of the Spiritual Energy Tempering Room, he advanced to Spirit Building Stage Level 9 in the short span of a month. But in his happiness there was a slight bit of worry, just like a person that got used to a luxurious lifestyle, how would he get used to a more frugal lifestyle? He had happily cultivated from Spirit Building Stage Level 4 to Level 9 in one shot. This was in the best Spiritual Energy Tempering Room in the whole of Heaven Seeking Palace, and on top of using various pills, he had used a Heaven grade spirit stone. Because of the investment of all these resources, while he cultivated, almost all 100 of his meridians opened up to absorb spiritual energy. What would happen in the future then? There would no longer be such resources at his disposal, so how would he carry on with his life? Perhaps in the next few years, he would not be bale to advance from Spirit Building Stage Level 9 to Transcending Mortality Stage. No, he wanted to breakthrough to the Extreme Mortal Stage, so Spirit Building Stage Level 10 was a must. Thinking to this point, the excitement within Mo Wuji disappeared completely, and was replaced by sorrow. That¡¯s right, has Cen Shuyin successfully acquired the Seven Styles Lightning Sky? After all, he had been in closed door cultivation for quite a while. Mo Wuji quickly threw all thoughts of future advancement to a side, swept off the spirit stone dust from his body, and opened the doors of the Spiritual Energy Tempering Room. ¡­ "A total of 36 days, so the cost is 360,000 Earth grade spirit stones¡­" The middle aged lady cashier of the Immortal Training Tower expressionlessly passed Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit stone card back to him. His mouth twitched a few times. 360,000 Earth grade spirit stones were spent on his cultivation, but not only that, he had expended a Heaven grade spirit stone too. Taking over the spirit stone card the lady passed to him, Mo Wuji suddenly reminisced about the young lady that was previously there. If it were that young lady, even if he had spent all of his spirit stones, he would have cheered up just from hearing her voice. "Please help me check if senior apprentice sister Cen Shuyin has some out from closed door cultivation¡­" While Mo Wuji did not like her emotionless voice, he still had to find out about Cen Shuyin¡¯s status. Whether Cen Shuyin had successfully learnt the Seven Styles Lightning Sky would affect if he got the flying magic treasure. However, the middle aged woman acted as though she did not hear Mo Wuji¡¯s words, and kept her cold expression. With a sigh, Mo Wuji gave up. He knew that asking would be useless. Nothing beat checking things out himself, so he headed straight up to the ice tempering rooms, where the only high tier ice tempering room was unoccupied. Mo Wuji went to the intermediate tier ice tempering rooms, and it was the same. None of them had slips inserted, which meant that Cen Shuyin was not inside either. Could it be that this woman learnt the Seven Styles Lightning Sky and ran away. This was equally possible. After all, a flying magic treasure was not a simple item. Shaking his head, Mo Wuji was prepared to give up waiting for Cen Shuyin. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly spotted a Immortal Training slip slotted inside the intermediate tier Lightning Tempering Room that he previously used. Who was training their lightning affinity technique? Mo Wuji stopped on the spot. If someone knew a lightning affinity body tempering technique, there was no harm in making a trade with him. Otherwise Cen Shuyin would continue bugging him in the future. After an hour of waiting, the doors to the Lightning Tempering Room suddenly burst open. A woman with a face full of black soot, and a head of burnt, messy hair walked out. "Senior apprentice sister Cen¡­" Mo Wuji looked at the Cen Shuyin before him in shock. If he was not thinking about Cen Shuyin, he might not have recognised her. The Cen Shuyin before him looked like she just climbed out of a soot pile. Even though she had changed her clothes, all her exposed skin was riddled with wounds. The originally heavenly looking, demure young lady, looked like an African refugee now. In a moment, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. Cen Shuyin entered the Lightning Tempering Room to cultivate, so could it be that she have learnt the first style of the Seven Style Lightning Sky? At this point, a sense of expectation rose up within Mo Wuji. Since Cen Shuyin had learnt Sudden Lightning, wouldn¡¯t that mean that she would give him the flying magic treasure? Inside, Mo Wuji was very excited. While the flying carriage was decorated rather femininely, it was better than not having one at all. Once he obtained it, he would redecorate the interior completely. Chapter 183: Mo Wuji’s Pride Chapter 183: Mo Wuji¡¯s Pride Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Ah, junior apprentice brother Mo¡­" Cen Shuyin saw Mo Wuji standing by the door and an awkward expression appeared on her face. Mo Wuji chuckled as he clasped his fists, "Congratulations senior apprentice sister Cen, I believe you should have already learnt Lightning Flash?" Cen Shuyin became more embarrassed; she had indeed learnt Lightning Flash. She had a perfectly good reason as to why she didn¡¯t find Mo Wuji. It wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji was behind closed doors and she couldn¡¯t find him, nor was it because she was unwilling to let go of her flying magic treasure. Instead, it was because she was overly obsessed in her cultivation of Sudden Lightning. On the first day she learnt Lightning Flash, she immediately went to the elementary grade Lightning Tempering Room. It was exactly as Mo Wuji said; Lightning Flash wasn¡¯t simply a lightning-based attack, but also a magic skill which could absorb lightning essence. In a short half a month, she upgraded from the elementary grade to intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room. Even though she was not fully adapted to the intermediate grade Lightning Tempering Room, due to her higher cultivation and her unique ice affinity spiritual roots, she was able to barely sustain her training. In her obsession, she even forgot what her name was. Naturally, her deal with Mo Wuji was chucked into a deep corner of her mind. When she saw Mo Wuji waiting for her at the door, she thought that Mo Wuji had located her and had specially come to ask for the flying magic treasure. Cen Shuyin hurriedly retrieved her flying magic treasure. Even though she was a little reluctant, she still passed the flying magic treasure to Mo Wuji, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, this is a pretty good spiritual item. I only managed to refine this spiritual item under the help of my master. If you are unable to use it, you can wait till you cultivate to Yuan Dan Stage¡­" As Cen Shuyin said this, she subconsciously paused and a hand unknowingly returned to her side. Mo Wuji was clearly someone with low talent, would he even be able to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage in his lifetime? A cultivator who could not advance into the Yuan Dan Stage, possessing a flying spiritual item¡­ this¡­ this was simply wasting it. Even without the need for Cen Shuyin to explain, Mo Wuji knew what a flying spiritual item was. Previously, the flying ship he returned in with Ren Tianxing was a flying spiritual item activated by Ren Tianxing. A month ago, he had also seen Ren Tianxing utilise a flying spiritual item. Don¡¯t underestimate Cen Shuyin¡¯s flying car because it was small and exquisite. Once it was activated, it was as good as a solid Lincoln. [1] However, now that Cen Shuyin took the flying car back, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t simply take it from her hands. "Right, I have to thank junior apprentice brother Mo. If you didn¡¯t remind me to go the advanced grade Ice Tempering Room to cultivate the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, I would probably have died. I only became more impressed at how junior apprentice brother Mo was able to create this amazing lightning skill, it¡¯s simply shocking¡­" As Cen Shuyin recalled the danger when she first cultivated the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, she could not help but tremble. Mo Wuji said that there would be dangers, and there truly were dangers. Even in the advanced grade Ice Tempering Room, that horrifying fire almost burnt all the organs in her body. She truly admired how Mo Wuji was able to previously cultivate the skill successfully, and even improved on it to become a cultivation technique. One must know that she had recently broke through from Transcending Mortality Level 7 and advanced into Transcending Mortality Level 8, and at this point, she was only a few steps away from Transcending Mortality Level 9. On the other hand, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation was clearly very low; his entire body did not emanate a single ripple of spirituality, and she estimated that Mo Wuji had yet to build his spirits. However, not only did he successfully cultivate the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, he even improved on it. Just from this point alone, despite his poor talent, he would leave a thick brushstroke in the pages of cultivation history. Mo Wuji waved his hands, "It¡¯s nothing much, I just got lucky¡­" As his mouth was speaking, his mind was thinking: I didn¡¯t come here to get praised ah. He eyed the flying car in Cen Shuyin¡¯s hands: Can¡¯t you be more straightforward and quickly pass me this flying car magic treasure? As she noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s glances, Cen Shuyin clearly understood Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions. She said with a slightly apologetically said, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, I also want to visit the battlefield. How about I¡­" "Sure, sure¡­" Mo Wuji instantly understood what was on Cen Shuyin¡¯s mind, "I will bring you with me." As he completed that sentence, Mo Wuji intended to take a step forward and proactively take the flying car. Before Mo Wuji could take that step, Cen Shuyin ecstatically said, "Many thanks junior apprentice brother Mo. I will return to wash up and immediately come back. Rest assured, after we reach the alien cultivator battlefield, I will immediately pass this flying car magic treasure to junior apprentice brother Mo¡­" With that, Cen Shuyin turned and left, and in the next instant, she was already downstairs. Mo Wuji saw his lifted feet and he really thought it was laughable. He understood Cen Shuyin¡¯s words, Cen Shuyin believed that he wasn¡¯t able to refine and bind the flying car, which was why she would only pass him the flying car when they reached the alien cultivator battlefield. In actuality, it was really a simple matter for him to refine this flying car spiritual item. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji could not chase after Cen Shuyin, pull her and tell her: I have spiritual will, just pass me the flying car. Spiritual will was his trump card, he definitely couldn¡¯t easily reveal it to others. ¡­ Mo Wuji walked back to the first floor of the Immortal Training Tower dispiritedly. He hoped that the battlefield wasn¡¯t very far away, then he would be able to reach there quickly and get Cen Shuyin to pass him the flying car. Then he can finally tell her: Bye bye! Because of the alien flying ship, the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Immortal Training Tower looked a little desolate. Mo Wuji waited at the entrance for quite some time but he did not see anyone else. Mo Wuji roughly estimated that Cen Shuyin should be returning soon, but as this moment, a tall man walked out from the Immortal Training Tower. This man had a sinister expression in his eyes, and his entire body was wrapped in thick spirituality. It looked like he had just broke through the Transcending Mortality Stage. Dong Mingzi, the moment Mo Wuji saw this man, his eyes subconsciously twitched and a killing intent rose in his heart. This was the second time he saw this fella, Dong Lun¡¯s brother, Dong Mingzi. He also came from the Supreme Sword City, and the family clan that Mo Wuji had a deep rooted hatred for. Dong Mingzi also saw Mo Wuji; he originally intended to leave the Immortal Training Tower, but his footsteps stopped in front of Mo Wuji, "Who are you?" Mo Wuji replied flatly, "How is that your business?" Dong Mingzi¡¯s sinister eyes flashed with coldness as he spoke in an icy cold tone, "At first, there wasn¡¯t any business, but now there is. When you first saw me, there was a trace of killing intent in your eyes." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding, This b*stard actually saw it so clearly. He did indeed express killing intent for a brief moment, but this fella actually caught that quick flash. "Ha ha¡­" Mo Wuji chortled, "I don¡¯t even know you. If you want to find an excuse to deal with me, don¡¯t use such exaggerated ones." Dong Mingzi¡¯s sinister gaze swept Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body, "Tell me where you come from. Otherwise, the moment you leave the Heaven Seeking Palace, I won¡¯t even allow you to live for half an incense." Mo Wuji was infuriated; he had yet to find the Supreme Sword City but this little kid from the Supreme Sword City found him instead. Mo Wuji estimated that this fella had just advanced into the Yuan Dan Stage, but it was not as though he had never killed a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator before, it was not something impressive. "What if we live more an half an incense?" A clear cold voice could be heard; Mo Wuji could easily recognise it to be Cen Shuyin''s. From the way Cen Shuyin spoke to Dong Mingzi, Mo Wuji could tell how courteous and gentle she was when she spoke to him. Cen Shuyin had regained her look of absolute beauty. Even though there were scars in her hair, she did not look as haggard as before. "Junior apprentice sister Cen¡­" Dong Mingzi had also seen Cen Shuyin and he hastily clasped his fists. In the Heaven Seeking Palace, there was no one who didn''t know Cen Shuyin. She was simply too gorgeous. He was a mere inner disciple of the Dao Gate. In terms of status, his grade wasn''t simply one step lower than Cen Shuyin. She was a direct disciple, albeit in the Sword Lake or the Heaven Seeking Palace, she was a far higher existence. If not for the fact that he just advanced into the Yuan Dan Stage, he would not have qualified to stand in front of Cen Shuyin. In the Dao Gate, there were countless other inner disciples like him. On the other hand, not only was Cen Shuyin a direct disciple, she was an existence within the top 50 of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, let''s go. For no reason, I got bitten and I can''t bite back. Staying here really makes me unhappy." Seeing how Cen Shuyin''s words intimidate Dong Mingzi, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn''t hesitate to throw one more stab in. How could Dong Mingzi be unable to make sense of Mo Wuji''s words? Mo Wuji had likened him to a mad dog who randomly bit people. However, he could only laugh towards Cen Shuyin, "Junior apprentice sister Shuyin, I was merely joking with this junior apprentice brother." Cen Shuyin did not respond, she only nodded to Mo Wuji and activated her flying car magic treasure, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, hop on." Naturally, Mo Wuji did not have anything further to say to Dong Mingzi. Dong Mingzi''s advancement into the Yuan Dan only motivated him to improve himself and his cultivation. As be thought about how he used his Heaven grade spirit stone, Mo Wuji became extremely vexed. In the future, what would he depend on? Seeing Cen Shuyin''s car fly out of the Heaven Seeking Palace, Dong Mingzi''s expression turned sinisterly cold. He was helpless against Cen Shuyin, but he would remember Mo Wuji that ant. ¡­ "Junior apprentice brother Mo, you developed the Lightning Flash based on your cultivation technique, erm, can I ask what''s your cultivation technique?" As they sat in the driving car, Cen Shuyin could not resist the urge to ask this burning question. She was truly curious about the phenomenal cultivation technique which Mo Wuji practises, to think it could even improve the Seven Styles Lightning Sky. Even though the cultivation of the first style was a little terrifying, it still succeeded. Initially, she understood that asking such a question wasn''t polite. After all, a cultivation technique was an individual''s secret. But as she continued to cultivate Mo Wuji''s Seven Styles Lightning Sky, she became increasingly curious of Mo Wuji''s technique. The moment he heard Cen Shuyin asking about his cultivation technique, Mo Wuji was instantly enlivened. The thing he was most proud of actually wasn''t the great creation of meridian cultivation, but his successful cultivation of the Immortal Mortal Technique. "I practise the Immortal Mortal Technique," Mo Wuji replied with a hint of pride. He was truly proud of himself, others couldn''t cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique. But with his open meridians and the Immortal Mortal Technique''s circulation technique, he was able to step on a completely new path of cultivation. "Ah¡­" Cen Shuyin''s big beautiful eyes stared at Mo Wuji. After some time, she stammered, "Immortal Mortal Technique?" [1] Lincoln is a brand of motor cars. Check it out! http://www.lincoln.com/ Just kidding, it¡¯s just another random car brand. Chapter 184: Alliance’s Contribution Points Chapter 184: Alliance¡¯s Contribution Points Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "That¡¯s right! It is the ," Mo Wuji said with a lot of conviction. He had no reason to hide because this technique was already being sold all over the streets. Only after a long while, Cen Shuyin garnered her courage to ask, "Junior apprentice brother Mo, is it the ?" Mo Wuji replied feeling slightly awkward, "I guess you can say so but there is another name for this technique called the ." Cen Shuyin rolled her eyes at Mo Wuji, what do you mean by I guess you can say so? is the . It was only named as for better sales. From this, she was even more confident that Mo Wuji was only at Channel Opening Stage because the was only for basic cultivation and did not include techniques to build spiritual walls. Mo Wuji naturally didn¡¯t know what was on Cen Shuyin¡¯s mind. He had no mentor and had minimal knowledge about spirit building. He only managed to successfully break into the Spirit Building Stage after he opened his 100th meridian and advanced into Channel Opening Stage Level 12. He built his spirit without chasing after any spiritual walls because all he formed was surges after surges of spiritual waves. After building his spirit, Mo Wuji continued to cultivate his circulation routes according to the all the way till he reached Spirit Building Stage Level 9. Up till now, he had not face any cultivation bottleneck. In fact, after he advanced past the Channel Opening Stage, he didn¡¯t face any bottleneck at all. "I don¡¯t think that Junior apprentice brother Mo would be lacking in spirit stones to purchase the other techniques right? Why are you cultivating based on a mortal grade ?" Cen Shuyin still had some doubts about Mo Wuji. If you take into consideration the amount of time that Mo Wuji spent at the Lightning Tempering Room, one could tell that Mo Wuji was not that poor to not be able to afford a proper cultivation technique manual. Furthermore, if he really couldn¡¯t afford, he could use the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s contribution points to purchase the manual at a very low price. One could safely say that as long as you¡¯re a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace, you would be able to afford the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s cultivation technique manual. Mo Wuji said honestly, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, I was really lacking in spirit stones back when I purchased this manual. In other words, I couldn¡¯t afford it. After I¡¯ve earned enough spirit stones, I eventually realised that this is rather decent hence, I did not bother replacing it." Cen Shuyin¡¯s face grew serious as she said, "I advise junior apprentice Mo to replace it for a better cultivation technique manual if you have the opportunity¡­" She initially wanted to advise Mo Wuji to not address the as anymore but she forcefully swallowed her words when she recalled how she wasn¡¯t close to Mo Wuji at all. Additionally, she had long gave up on the idea that Mo Wuji would be able to create the second style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky and ultimately exchanged it with her. It was probably due to a huge stroke of luck that Mo Wuji was able to cultivate the Lightning Flash based on the . As for the remaining six styles, let¡¯s just forget about it. As Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t continue speaking, Mo Wuji naturally had nothing to say too. There was still quite a bit of distance between the Heaven Seeking Palace and the frontline of the battlefield therefore, it would be a waste of time for them to just sit there staring at each other. Mo Wuji took the initiative to ask, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, since we could divide this flying magic treasure, why don¡¯t I carry on with my closed door cultivation for now?" "Of course! Please carry on with your closed door cultivation, I will inform you when we arrive," Cen Shuyin replied almost instantly as she was very impressed by Mo Wuji¡¯s diligence. Even though Mo Wuji had an average cultivation level, his level of diligence was really uncomparable. After saying her piece, Cen Shuyin pressed a button on the flying car and the whole car was immediately divided into two. Cen Shuyin pointed to the entrance of the other half as she said,"Junior apprentice brother Mo, please go ahead. We will probably reach the battlefield in about slightly more than a month¡¯s time." "Many thanks then," Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude. Now that he was even more thirsty than ever for power, idling for a month¡¯s time would definitely not be something he would even consider doing. ¡­ When he was finally alone in a small room, Mo Wuji took out a bunch of spirit stones and immediately sat on it. Mo Wuji was aware of his own state of cultivation and knew that normal spiritual energy would not be of much help for his cultivation. In about 10 breaths¡¯ time, the spiritual energy around Mo Wuji formed a spiritual whirlpool as it started to engulf every single one of his meridians. Cen Shuyin stared astonishingly at Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation room as she could clearly feel the surge of spiritual energy overflowing the room. Didn¡¯t this Mo Wuji have poor aptitude? How is he able to generate such strong waves of spiritual energy? In actuality, such waves of spiritual energy were considered nothing incredible for Mo Wuji. Even so, in just a few days¡¯ time, Mo Wuji exhausted every single spirit stones he took out into fine powder. This proved how insane Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of absorbing the spiritual energy was. The pity was that Mo Wuji was still stuck at Spirit Building Stage Level 9 and was unable to break into the intermediate stage of level 9. Mo Wuji felt helpless as he predicted that after experiencing the dense concentration of spiritual energy in the spiritual tempering room as well as the Heaven grade spirit stone, it would be much harder for him to advance further in the future. This certainly seemed like the case now. He did not wish to resign to this fate as he took out yet another pile of spirit stones. Half a month later, this pile of spirit stones disintegrated into fine powder yet again as Mo Wuji was still a distance away from intermediate stage of the Spirit Building Stage Level 9. The slightly disappointed Mo Wuji did not continue cultivating even though he was still progressing. To Mo Wuji, this way of cultivating was far too slow and he wasn¡¯t feeling carefree at all. Even without the spirit tempering room or the Heaven grade spirit stones, a spirit stone quarry should do just fine. Very quickly, Mo Wuji shook his head as he knew he was thinking too much. All the different sects fought hard to gain control of every spirit stone quarry available therefore, he should be extremely thankful to have came across one in the Lost Sky Ruins. After cleaning up all the fine spirit stones powder, Mo Wuji casually took out the explanation of Chu Xingzi¡¯s Array Dao. Ever since he copied this down in the ice mountain, he couldn¡¯t find time to analyse this thoroughly. As compared to cultivation, Mo Wuji found himself completely immersed in the Array Dao in a shorter period of time. After another 20 plus days had passed, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel as though time was moving as he only subconsciously swallowed an Inedia pill whenever he was feeling hungry. One day as Mo Wuji was analysing Chu Xingzi¡¯s elementary defensive array, he heard Cen Shuyin knocking on the door while calling out for him. We¡¯ve reached the battlefield? Mo Wuji hurried to pack up before exiting his room. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, are we here already?" Mo Wuji asked Cen Shuyin who was standing at the entrance of his door. Cen Shuyin nodded, "Even though we had not reach the battlefield, we¡¯ve arrived at an encampment of the Heaven Seeking Palace. This territory belonged to the Xing Han Empire and it was located very near to the Thunder Fog Forest. This region of the battlefield will be the responsibility of the many big sects of the Heaven Seeking Palace and the Xing Han Empire. For us to fight for the alliance contribution points, we have to head towards the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s encampment to register for the alliance contribution points token. "Is this Chang Luo City?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. Cen Shuyin shook her head, "Chang Luo has been obliterated and it is nothing more than a wasteland now. We are heading towards a place called An Yang and I¡¯ve heard that it was only second to Chang Luo City in the entire Xing Han Empire. After your closed door cultivation for a month, I believe that your cultivation level should have increased by quite a bit?" Mo Wuji replied awkwardly, "I am ashamed for my cultivation level did not improve at all." Cen Shuyin¡¯s heart felt sorry for Mo Wuji because she knew that with such poor aptitude, there was going to be a limit to how much he could achieve through hard work. Mo Wuji must have exhausted a lot of spirit stones without being able to make the full use of it. What a pity. If a person with top grade spiritual roots was as diligent as Mo Wuji, he would have surpassed majority of the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s inner disciples. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, what is the alliance contribution points token all about?" Mo Wuji did not actually feel that it was a pity. "To fight against the alien cultivators, all the sects in the Five Big Empires including the Heaven Seeking Palace collaborated to form the Hundred Sect Alliance. Of course, the Hundred Sect Alliance was not limited to just hundred sects. Any cultivator in the Five Big Empires could register to fight against the alien cultivators for the Hundred Sect Alliance. One would earn contribution points for every alien cultivator that he killed. The contribution points would be recorded in each person¡¯s identity jade token in which the cultivator would be able to use the contribution points to ultimately exchange for all sorts of treasure at the Hundred Sect Alliance. Furthermore, cultivators could exchange for a wide variety of treasures at any of the big sects including the Heaven Seeking Palace," Cen Shuyi explained. Mo Wuji was momentarily startled as he did not expect here to have the contribution points system. His intention of coming here was solely to train and then find ways to advance into the next realm. It would be perfect if he could train and earn contribution points simultaneously. "But senior apprentice sister Cen, how does the Hundred Sect Alliance track how many alien cultivators we kill? And how do they calculate how much contribution points to award?" Mo Wuji asked. Cen Shuyin answered, "These jade tokens were cultivated by True God Stage experts to record the contribution points. I¡¯ve heard that the points will be allocated according to the state of the soul imprint. The moment you kill an alien cultivator, the information of the soul imprint from the dying alien cultivator would be recorded by the identity jade token which would then display the contribution points awarded. The stronger the opponent that you¡¯ve killed, the stronger the soul imprint and hence, the higher the contribution points awarded. Mo Wuji dusted his hand and thought to himself, what a great place. To advance, he would need to use the best spirit tempering room in the Heaven Seeking Palace and to use the best tempering room without paying with spirit stones, he needed contribution points. Seeing how eager Mo Wuji was to try, Cen Shuyin forcefully managed to control her laughter. Does he really think it is easy to kill an alien cultivator and earn contribution points? If it was that easy, the Five Big Empires would not have ended up in such a mess. ¡­ The moment the flying car landed in An Yang City, two cultivators came over to question them. As the two cultivators saw Cen Shuyin¡¯s gorgeous face, they almost forgot their purpose there. Cen Shuyin took out her jade token and asked, "Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s disciple reporting. May I know where is the alliance¡¯s encampment?" The two cultivators suddenly realised that this was a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. If she were to be angered, they might not even know how they would end up dead. "Seniors, the alliance¡¯s encampment is at the An Yang Palace. Senior Yin Ku, who was ranked number 23 on the Contribution Point Board today, was passing by An Yang therefore, Xing He¡¯s emperor as well as Distant Fire Sect¡¯s leader, Qian Zhenyan are all currently accompanying him¡­" One of the cultivator explained in detail to get into the good books of Cen Shuyin. Cen Shuyin continued to ask, "Which senior is in charge of my Heaven Seeking Palace?" The same cultivator hurried to answer, "The one in charge of the Heaven Seeking Palace would be senior Ni Nan and he should be back at the encampment researching on Array Dao." Cen Shuyin nodded her head and thought, this is normal. She had no idea who was Yin Ku but just because he was passing by An Yang, he should not qualified enough for Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s person in charge to entertain him. Chapter 185: A Familiar Face from Xing Han Empire Chapter 185: A Familiar Face from Xing Han Empire Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Why don¡¯t we go to the encampment to obtain the alliance¡¯s contribution points token before going our separate ways?" Cen Shuyin recalled that Mo Wuji was an outer disciple, which made her a little worried about whether he would be able to obtain a contribution points token. After all, outer disciples were forbidden from going to Greater Heights Mountain, which was why she suggested to go with Mo Wuji. "Ok," Mo Wuji agreed without hesitation. Even if Cen Shuyin did not invite him, he would have taken the initiative to ask her to make the contribution points token together. Although he was a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, he knew that an outer disciple might not have the rights to speak, while a direct disciple such as Cen Shuyin would be treated almost like an elder of the sect. "That¡¯s right, this is yours," Cen Shuyin said as she handed the flying car to Mo Wuji, "This flying car was given to me by my master. If you decide to sell it one day, please approach me first." "Ok, thank you senior apprentice sister Cen. If I do sell it one day, I¡¯ll definitely return it to you." Mo Wuji replied as he kept the flying car. This flying car was what he obtained by trading a technique, so there was no need to stand on ceremony. In some sense, the price of the first style of Seven Styles Lightning Sky, was definitely much more than a low grade flying car magic treasure. ... According to Cen Shuyin, in Xing Han Empire, An Yang was only second to Chang Luo¡¯s capital. After Mo Wuji entered An Yang, he felt this place was much worse than Chang Luo. In terms of prosperity and historical richness, it could not match up to Chang Luo at all. The first thing he saw after going into An Yang City, was a gigantic plaza. Under normal circumstances, cities would rarely build a large plaza in front of their city gates. The plaza in An Yang was not only big, but also quite new. The people who walked about and around the plaza were all cultivators, with very little mortals. Right in the centre of the plaza, two large stone slabs were erected. The foundation stone of the left stone slab had "Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Ranking" written on it. The stone slab was full of names, and subconsciously Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on number one , a man called Xi Yixuan, who had 12251 points written behind his name. The person in second place was someone Mo Wuji knew, Feng Luojian, with 9921 points. He seemingly saw this name on Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Heaven Seeking Staircase ranking before, possibly also at second place. In third place was also another person Mo Wuji knew, Gou Zihan, with 8672 points. This guy was first place for Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Heaven Seeking Staircase, but yet relegated to third place here. Where was this Xi Yixuan from? If he was from Heaven Seeking Palace, why hadn¡¯t he seen this guy at the Heaven Seeking Heaven Seeking Staircase before? "I know this Xi Yixuan, he¡¯s the legacy disciple of Han Yang Empire¡¯s Great Evolution Sect. Back then Heaven Seeking Palace even invited him to join us, but he declined, saying that Heaven Seeking Palace had nothing to teach him, so there was no reason to join us." Cen Shuyin sighed as she saw the rankings. Perhaps she thought that Xi Yixuan had some ability to back up his arrogance. Who cared if he didn¡¯t join Heaven Seeking Paace, he was still number one on the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s rankings. "Seems like this Great Evolution Sect is rather impressive," Mo Wuji added on. Cen Shuyin explained, "All of the genius disciples in the Five Great Empires will definitely join the Heaven Seeking Palace. But one sect is the exception: the Great Evolution Sect. It is rumored that the Great Evolution Sect had about the same amount of True God Stage experts as Heaven Seeking Sect. I¡¯m not sure if that¡¯s true or not." In his mind, Mo Wuji thought that this was probably true. It couldn¡¯t have been a coincidence that Xi Yixuan became first place, even surpassing second place by that many points. His gaze shifted to the stone slab on the right, which had "Five Great Empire¡¯s sect¡¯s contribution ranking" written on its foundation stone. When Mo Wuji saw this contribution ranking, he was sure that Heaven seeking Palace would take first place. But he was shocked to see that it was Great Evolution Sect instead, not Heaven Seeking Palace. Heaven Seeking Palace only placed second. This Great Evolution Sect seems to be quite good. To be able to dominate both rankings to obtain first place. Naturally Cen Shuyin could hear Mo Wuji¡¯s soft gasp, and said, "The Great Evolution Sect is perhaps the next strongest sect after Heaven Seeking Palace, but it would take much more than that to overtake us. The only reason why they were ranked first, was because for the initial period, Heaven Seeking Palace did not send out more legacy and inner disciples. Within a month, this ranking will change." However, Mo Wuji did not fully believe her, but he did not openly oppose Cen Shuyin on the spot. After all he was a member of Heaven Seeking Palace, so how could he badmouth his own sect? "Senior apprentice sister Cen, how are the contribution points calculated? Over 10,000 contribution points, did he kill that many alien cultivators?" Mo Wuji casually asked With a nod, Cen Shuyin replied, "After that alien cultivators set up camp in the Five Great Empire, there have been countless flying ships sending people over, and I even heard that there was a transfer array being built too. I think there should be even more people of the Five Great Empires that have died." Upon hearing that, Mo Wuji became solemn. In his quest for contribution points, he might turn into other people¡¯s contribution points. "May I inquire if both of you are immortal masters from Heaven Seeking Palace?" Just as Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin were still looking at the contribution points rankings, a middle aged man wearing red official clothes approached them, asking in a courteous manner. Cen Shuyin answered, "Yes, we¡¯re disciples from Heaven Seeking Palace." "Thank you for coming to Xing Han Empire, our king of Xing Han is holding a banquet for all immortal masters. Once we knew that immortal masters from Heaven Seeking Palace were coming, I was sent to invite the both of you," The red clothed man was an ordinary mortal, and spoke with great deference. Nodding her head, Cen Shuyin said, "Please lead the way." While she was a cold person, she was not someone who did not know how the world worked. The king of Xing Han Empire was a good leader of an empire, and she possibly had to frequent this area in the future, so giving this much face was required. Mo Wuji naturally did not say much. He only wanted to apply for an identity token after Cen Shuyin did, in order to accumulate contribution points. After the two of them followed this red clothed official across the plaza, they then walked through a wide bluestone path, before finally reaching a grand hall. Even though this was only Xing Han Empire¡¯s temporary palace, compared to Cheng Yu State¡¯s palace, it was much more majestic. "Both immortal masters please enter," After the red clothed official ushered Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin to the hall¡¯s door, he bowed and gestured for them to enter. Cen Shuyin entered without hesitation. As a legacy disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, wherever she went, being treated with the highest regard was the norm, and she had become accustomed to it already. Both sides of the hall were seated full of people, and in front of everyone there was a table of food. ¡®Ha ha, genius disciples of Heaven Seeking Palace, welcome to the Xing Han Empire alliance encampment," A hearty laugh echoed through the hall, following which, Mo Wuji saw a yellow robed muscular man stand up at the end of the hall. As Mo Wuji thought to himself, this must be the king of Xing Han Empire, Cen Shuyin had already bowed respectfully to greet him, "Heaven Seeking Palace disciple Cen Shuyin pays her respect to the king." This act gave the king a shock. Logically speaking, a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace should greatly lack any form of etiquette. The normal practice was for a disciple to automatically report which dao and what kind of disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace one was upon being asked. However, Cen Shuyin actually just said that she was a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, which seemed to be rather rude. Thankfully the king already knew who she was. This was one of the most beautiful women of the Five Great Empires, and a legacy disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Sword Lake. She was a frightening existence. Mo Wuji followed suit, " Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Mo Wuji pays his respects to the king¡­" Just as he finished his sentence, his gaze fell on one person. In the whole hall of people, he actually recognised one of them "Both of you, please don¡¯t stand on ceremony. Take a seat. Come men, add on to the banquet," Cui Qianjun enthusiastically waved his hands while ordering the men around. The voice of this king was especially loud. In reality, for the Heaven Seeking Palace, this was nothing much. As for Cen Shuyin and Mo Wuji¡¯s simplistic introductions, he dared not voice any opinions on that either. Two tables were quickly added, and their positions were very close to the front, seemingly within the top three. As one could observe, Heaven Seeking Palace was held in high regard. Cen Shuyin was about to ask about Ni Nan, Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s in charge of this area, but she saw Mo Wuji walking straight to one of the seats at the back. "My king, we meet again." Mo Wuji chuckled as he stood in front of an unenergetic man. As the man saw Mo Wuji walk over, it was like he saw a ghost. Actually, once Mo Wuji set foot in the hall, his disposition was as such. "Drug refiner Mo, I really didn¡¯t expect...that I''d be able to meet you here¡­" The pale beardless man quickly stood up, and stuttered his way through the sentence. Chuckling once more, Mo Wuji replied, "We would have met sooner or later. Even if we didn¡¯t meet here, I would have gone to Rao Zhou City¡¯s mayor¡¯s house to look for you." When Cui Qianjun saw Mo Wuji speak to one of the lord, he also laughed, "So dao friend Mo and Cheng Yu State Lord Situ Qian are acquainted. This is a good thing, a good thing¡­" Towards Cui Qianjun, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, "My king¡¯s judgement is not wrong, I am indeed acquainted with State Lord Situ. My ancestor was originally Xing Han Empire¡¯s next prefecture lord, the prefecture being Northern Qin Prefecture. However, many years ago, my grandfather, Lord of Northern Qin Prefecture Mo Tiancheng, travelled to Rao Zhou, and went missing. After that, my father Mo Guangqian travelled to Rao Zhou in search for the Lord of Northern Qin Prefecture, and at the same time, pleaded for State Lord Situ to transfer the Northern Qin Prefecture to the Mo clan¡­" At this point, Mo Wuji made an intentional pause, before carrying on, "All you dao friends, all you kings, is it too much for my Mo clan to ask for this?" Most of the people present could infer that Mo Wuji¡¯s intention was to look for trouble from Situ Qian. But since Mo Wuji was now a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, no one dared to say a word in defense of Situ Qian. Xing Han Empire¡¯s king, Cui Qianjun could also understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words, and his expression turned slightly black, "The position of prefecture lord has always been passed down from father to son, so how would this be unreasonable?" "Thank you my king for being direct. However, State Lord Situ simply does not care about Mo clan¡¯s request, and directly passed the title of Northern Qin Prefecture Lord to someone else. On top of that, he wiped out everyone in my clan, imprisoned my father and me in Rao Zhou City, until my father died of illness, and I went crazy. When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he stared coldly at Situ Qian. He knew that the Mo Clan was not directly eradicated by Situ Qian, but for now, the blame would be put on him. Once he was finished with Situ Qian, he would move on to the guy that occupied Northern Qin Prefecture. Chapter 186: Rogue Cultivator Contribution Point Jade Token Chapter 186: Rogue Cultivator Contribution Point Jade Token Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The moment he heard the Xing Han Emperor''s words, Situ Qian¡¯s forehead instantly dripped with cold sweat. At this moment, he only had regret in his heart; it wasn''t regret for robbing the Mo Clan''s throne, but regret for not killing Mo Wuji that ant. Not pulling a weed by its roots truly led to disaster. He was too careless and thought that this Mo Clan b*stsrd wouldn''t be able to achieve much. But that''s not right ah, didn''t they say that Mo Tiancheng¡¯s grandson didn''t have spiritual roots? How did he end up as Heaven Seeking Palace disciple? "Keke, Mo Wuji, you''re merely a outer disciple at the Heaven Seeking Palace, what rights do you have to meddle in state affairs? State Lord Situ must naturally have his own reasons for removing your Mo Clan from the throne. Furthermore, a key rule of the Heaven Seeking Palace is non-interference in state and empire affairs. Not just an outer disciple like you, but even if it was an inner disciple, it would not be right to criticize and gesticulate a state lord," A derisive voice could be heard from the back. Mo Wuji turned to take a look at the fella who just entered the hall; it was his old nemesis, the other person who entered the Heaven Seeking Palace from the Formless Blade Sect, Ju Qijian. Cen Shuyin''s brow slightly knitted; even though the Heaven Seeking Palace did indeed have such a rule of non-interference, it was a small rule. In reality, which person from the Heaven Seeking Palace would even care about such a rule? Even the Heaven Seeking Palace itself knew that as long as the disciple was not excessive in his state affairs, they wouldn''t enforce upon that rule. Moreover, Mo Wuji was a Heaven Seeking Palace disciple, Ju Qijian was clearly turning on him by undermining Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Ju Qijian saw killing intent flash across Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, but he still turned and bowed towards Cen Shuyin was a face full of smiles, "Ju Qijian greets senior apprentice sister Cen." Seemingly cognizant that Cen Shuyin would ignore him, Ju Qijian immediately turned and clasped his fists towards the Xing Han Emperor, "Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate inner disciple Ju Qijian greets the Xing Han Emperor." As Mo Wuji heard the way Ju Qijian reported his name, he immediately reacted. Previously, Cen Shuyin didn''t announce what kind of disciple she was; it seemed like she was trying to protect his face. Otherwise, if he had to announce his position as a Heaven Seeking Palace outer disciple, he would only be throwing away his face and reputation. The Heaven Seeking Palace was the number one cultivation holy land in the five empires, but an outer disciple still wouldn''t be viewed highly. Cui Qianjun immediately came to an understanding; if Mo Wuji was an inner disciple or legacy disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace, he wouldn''t have mind giving Mo Wuji a hand to deal with Situ Qian and return the Northern Qin Prefecture to the Mo Clan. However, Mo Wuji was just an outer disciple; he got to know a legacy disciple like Cen Shuyin with some unknown method and he was currently flaunting her reputation, Cui Qianjun almost got duped by him. Seeing how Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t open her mouth to help Mo Wuji, Cui Qianjun could tell that Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin weren¡¯t as close as he had expected. Moreover, an outer disciple actually dared to offend a inner disciple, this Mo Wuji was clearly looking for death. "Man! Come bring a chair for Dao Friend Ju, " Cui Qianjun ordered. As for Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t really act against him. He could treat Mo Wuji¡¯s suggestions as trash but he definitely couldn¡¯t act against this outer disciple. Even if he was merely an outer disciple, he was still a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. Mo Wuji stared coldly at Ju Qijian and said, "Your surname is Ju, the trash that colluded with Situ Qian to steal the Northern Qin Prefecture are also surnamed Ju. You rats can¡¯t be from the same nest right?" Ju Qijian¡¯s horse face turned solemn, "Mo Wuji, you saw a senior apprentice brother of your Heaven Seeking Palace, but not only didn¡¯t you pay compliments, you¡¯ve acted so rampantly. Let me tell you the truth, the Northern Qin Prefecture is indeed taken by my Ju Clan. If you have balls, come find me. Keke, but that¡¯s only if you could even build your spirits in this lifetime." In actuality, it was because Ju Qijian had looked up on Mo Wuji that he discovered that a branch of his Ju Clan had actually taken the Northern Qin Prefecture throne. This filled his heart with satisfaction and he even sent people to reward that Ju Clan branch. As Mo Wuji¡¯s strength increased, he looked increasingly ordinary. Moreover, he was an outer disciple so Qu Qijian had no way of noticing that Mo Wuji was already in the Spirit Building Stage, even more so at level 9. It wasn¡¯t only Ju Qijian who wasn¡¯t able to determine Mo Wuji¡¯s level; no one here could see that Mo Wuji had already built his spirits. The hall went silent; this was an internal dispute within the Heaven Seeking Palace and no one was foolish enough to interfere. Situ Qian, on the other hand, had a face full of smiles. He did not expect the Northern Qin¡¯s Ju Clan to actually have a clan member in the inner sect of the Heaven Seeking Palace; this was a thick leg he needed to hug tight. On the other hand, Mo Wuji, a mere outer disciple dared to threaten him; this was an enmity he would always remember. "Rest assured, whether you¡¯re called Qijian [Seven cheap] or Xiajian [Degrading] [1], I will definitely find your Ju Clan," Mo Wuji stared at Ju Qijian [Seven Sword] and said mockingly, with no care of Ju Qijian¡¯s face. Now, he had no ties and was working solo, a mere Ju Qijian wasn¡¯t worth his worry. From his estimates, Ju Qijian had yet to break through to the Yuan Dan Stage while he was now at Spirit Building Stage Level 9. The moment he advanced into the Transcending Mortality Stage, he would be able to annihilate this Ju Qijian. Of course, he could not let this Ju Qijian have the chance to eliminate him before that happened. With that, he also glared at Situ Qian and said, "The Mo Clan¡¯s Northern Qin Prefecture isn¡¯t so easy. Be careful of biting off more than you can chew, you might choke yourself." Ju Qijian trembled in rage; if this wasn¡¯t the Xing Han Empire¡¯s temporary capital, and if Cen Shuyin wasn¡¯t here, he would have immediately destroyed this Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could no longer be bothered with this Ju Qijian as he turned and left. He did not say another word, with a cheap man like Ju Qijian here, there wasn¡¯t any point in him staying. The Mo Clan had already been exterminated, and he couldn¡¯t take his revenge now. At the very least, he would throw some threats out, so this old ass, Situ Qian, would not be able to have any good sleep. Seeing Mo Wuji leave, Cui Qianjun immediately broke the silence, "Let me introduce everyone to Dao Friend Yin Ku. Dao Friend Yin Ku is ranked 23rd in the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Contribution Point Board¡­" Before Cui Qianjun could finish, Cen Shuyin also walked out of the hall. In front of outsiders, Ju Qijian betrayed a fellow Heaven Seeking Palace disciple which made her feel uncomfortable. Cui Qianjun had an ugly expression on his face; if it was any other person, he would have long destroyed him. Unfortunately, the two were Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s disciples, and one of them was even a legacy disciple. If he dared to act, his Xing Han Empire might just disappear from the face of the Lost Continent. ¡­ The Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s encampment was a six-leveled tower next to the An Yang Palace. When Mo Wuji and Cen Shiyin arrived, there were already seven to eight people registering for the alliance¡¯s identity jade token. "Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Cen Shuyin and Mo Wuji registering for the alliance¡¯s identity jade token," Cen Shuyin said as she passed her own sect¡¯s identity jade token. The person handling the jade tokens was an elder who looked extremely capable; after examining Cen Shuyin¡¯s jade token, he continued, "Please pass Mo Wuji¡¯s sect identity jade token as well." Mo Wuji had already retrieved his jade token and handed it over. After examining Mo Wuji¡¯s identity jade token, the elder said apologetically, "I¡¯m only able to help Dao Friend Cen Shuyin obtain an alliance identity jade token. I¡¯m unable to do so for Dao Friend Mo." "Why?" Cen Shuyin slightly knitted her brows. Even though she had expected such an outcome, she was still unhappy. In her perspective, anyone who was willing to help the five empires fight the alien cultivators should be entitled his own identity jade token. Without a jade token, then there wouldn¡¯t be any contribution points. Then no matter how many alien cultivators he killed, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get anything in return. This was truly unfair for those without the identity jade token. If it was an average person, the elder would have directly sent him flying out. But this was a legacy disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace so he grudgingly explained, "This jade token which could record contribution points is extremely valuable. Each and every one of them was refined by a True God Stage expert. Only inner disciples and legacy disciples of Earth sects and above, as well as rogue cultivators who have reached the Transcending Mortality Stage could register for it. Dao Friend Mo is an outer disciple, and his cultivation doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s in the Transcending Mortality Stage." Cen Shuyin had never asked Mo Wuji about his level, so she didn¡¯t even think that Mo Wuji was in the Spirit Building Stage, much less the Transcending Mortality Stage. Previously, she was willing to help Mo Wuji register for the jade token because Mo Wuji could wield a powerful lightning skill, Lightning Flash. With this skill, Mo Wuji was definitely able to obtain some contribution points in the battlefield. "Is there no other way?" Seeing Cen Shuyin turn silent, Mo Wuji took the initiative to ask. He definitely couldn¡¯t give up on these contribution points. After all, they could be exchanged for wonderful things. As an outer disciple, he was not much different from a rogue cultivator. To obtain resources and opportunities, he would need large amounts of contribution points. The elder glanced at Cen Shuyin; he could ignore Mo Wuji¡¯s words, but he had to care about Cen Shuyin. Mo Wuji came together with Cen Shuyin, and it looked like their relationship wasn¡¯t shallow. The elder was also secretly impressed with Mo Wuji. A cultivator with inferior spiritual roots like him was actually close to a proud child of the heavens like Cen Shuyin. "It¡¯s not impossible. There are some defective jade tokens, these jade tokens cannot record identities, so they couldn¡¯t be counted as identity jade tokens. It¡¯s only function is to record contribution points, so you could consider it a point jade token¡­" "No problem, this jade token is fine. I will apply for this kind of jade token," Before the elder could finish, Mo Wuji unhesitantly said. He did not care about an identity, he only wanted contribution points. The elder said helplessly, "Wait for me to finish. Even though this jade token could record contribution points, there might be cases of malfunction. That is to say, after you kill an alien cultivator, this jade token might not be able to detect the alien cultivator¡¯s soul imprint. If that happens, you wouldn¡¯t be able to get any contribution points." Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turned ugly. Is he screwing with me? Isn¡¯t he telling me to catch a fish with a net with a huge hole in it? Cen Shuyin was also helpless. When Elder Zhu Yueshen announced that no outer disciples were allowed to join the expedition, she had already expected for Mo Wuji¡¯s registration for a jadet token to be difficult. From the looks of it, it was as expected. "This defective jade token is also in small amounts¡­" The elder only said half of his sentence but Mo Wuji had already made up his mind, "I want this defective jade token. Help me register for one." "Dao Friend Cen¡¯s jade token is free. Dao Friend Mo¡¯s jade token requires a payment of 50,000 Earth grade spirit stones," The elder said as he retrieved the two jade tokens. Mo Wuji was secretly cursing in his heart. A perfect jade token did not require any fees while his defective one actually needed 50,000 Earth grade spirit stones. Despite his frustrations, Mo Wuji could only pay the 50,000 Earth grade spirit stones and accepted his jade token. There were a few words on the jade token: Rogue Cultivator 2705, Contribution Points 0. There wasn¡¯t even a name at the back. [1] The author is playing with the pronunciations here. Ju Qijian¡¯s name means seven swords, but there is another jian which means cheap/bitch. Chapter 187: Entering the Enemy’s Lair Chapter 187: Entering the Enemy¡¯s Lair Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Cen Shuyin apologetically said to Mo Wuji, "I¡¯m sorry I didn¡¯t manage to help you get an identity jade token¡­" But Mo Wuji just laughed that off, "If it weren¡¯t for senior apprentice sister¡¯s help, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to obtain this contribution point jade token. This is good enough. Who knows, maybe I¡¯ll get bitten in the back by some b*stard, so I¡¯ll still have to thank senior apprentice sister Cen." Hearing that, Cen Shuyin smiled sweetly. She had interacted with Mo Wuji for such a long period of time, and knew that he was a good person. He also seemed quite childish when he was trying to take away the flying car from her. Of course, the prerequisite was that you did not provoke him. As one of the most beautiful women in the Five Great Empires, Cen Shuyin was naturally aware of her unparalleled beauty. Many male cultivators that spent time with her, often tried very hard to impress her. However, every time Mo Wuji had the chance to interact with her alone, he chose to enter closed door cultivation. This made Cen Shuyin understand Mo Wuji from another angle, which was that in his eyes, there was only cultivating, and everything else was unimportant. "I¡¯m going to the Thunder Fog Forest battlefield, do you want to join me?" Cen Shuyin extended an invitation once again. When she was with Mo Wuji, she felt much more at ease, without the need to be on guard as much, which was a feeling that she enjoyed. To that, Mo Wuji simply laughed, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, let¡¯s say our goodbyes here. See you again in the future." Mo Wuji naturally would not choose to travel alongside Cen Shuyin, as her cultivation level was much higher than his. Both of them had helped each other quite a lot, hence no one owed anyone anything. If he had followed Cen Shuyin, he would require her protection, which completely did not fit his personality. More importantly, once Cen Shuyin reached the battlefield, she would definitely team up with strong experts. What would a Spirit Building Stage cultivator like himself do in such a group? Beg for contribution points? "If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll see you again when I see you," Cen Shuyin bade Mo Wuji farewell, then left the Alliance Tower, and very quickly faded out of sight. The direction Mo Wuji chose was completely different, and he entered a quiet path. The first thing he did was to change his clothes, and put on the self disguising mask that Ren Tianxing gave him. When he was with Cen Shuyin, no one dared to lay a hand on him. But now that he was travelling along, once someone discovered any traces of him, the number of people that would attack him was simply too many. Regardless of whether it was Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Elder Jin Yu, Ju Qijian, or Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Mingzi. These people were all out to kill him, but he couldn¡¯t even match up to a single one of them. ¡­ An hour later, Mo Wuji openly left An Yang City. The self-disguising spiritual item that Ren Tianxing gave him was pretty good, as Mo Wuji had turned into a black faced monk with a blade scar across his face. Once he twitched his face, the scar would give off a frightening aura, which made people unwilling to look at it for long. Only after a few kilometres outside of An Yang City did Mo Wuji see another person. It was obvious how large an impact the alien cultivators had on the Five Great Empires. Most of the mortals there either moved away, or lost their lives due to the battles. After locating a safe place, Mo Wuji began refining the flying car, and within half a day, he had succeeded. The flying car was thrown out, and in an instant, it returned to its original size. He was rather satisfied with this flying car, just like how a car-lover had obtained the car of his dreams. Once inside the flying car, the first thing that Mo Wuji did was to gather all of the decorations that Cen Shuyin had put up, and threw them into a corner of his storage bag. As a man, he was not quite used to the feminine vibes that filled the flying car. Thankfully Cen Shuyin was not like other girls, and only had a few feminine decorations around, which saved a lot of Mo Wuji¡¯s time. Mo Wuji sat at the front of the flying car, driving it at fast speeds through the clouds. Seeing the white clouds around him being left behind, a sense of satisfaction welled up in him Back on Earth, he had thought of the possibility of inventing such a flying car, which would be much faster and safer than aeroplanes. However, after considering the amount of specialised knowledge that he had to pick up, and the chaos that would ensue with countless flying cars in the sky, he gave up on this idea. Who would have known that something that did not become reality on Earth would have somehow appeared on this continent. Moreover, he did not invent the flying cars here, and even did not have to control it in midair. The flying car had a much higher speed than flying beast carriages and ships, on top of the greater stability it gave. Mo Wuji had been to the Thunder Fog Forest once, and while it was outside of Cheng Yu State borders, the general direction was still roughly the same. In only three days, fog appeared on the Mo Wuji¡¯s horizon. Hence he quickly stopped the flying car. However, as the flying car was going too fast, and it was his first time steering it, without knowing it, he had arrived right on top of the Thunder Fog Forest. This low grade spiritual item, flying car, had no instruments for fine direction control, and could only point in a general direction. It was a mystery how Cen Shuyin had travelled to An Yang City on it previously. When the flying car was about to land, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had swept out already. This was the Thunder Fog Forest, and was probably very close to the battlefield with alien cultivators. Thus, he had to be very careful. However, he soon realised that he was still too careless. Two men were hidden behind some rocks a few tens of meters behind him. Those two guys obviously saw his flying car, and were waiting for him to disembark before taking action. If he could, Mo Wuji really wanted to start the flying car and fly away. But he did not dare to do so, as he was already being marked by. The reason behind this was very simple, he was too conspicuous. It seemed like having a flying car wasn¡¯t that good after all. According to the observations made with his spiritual will, the two people tracking him were slightly higher in cultivation level than him. If he flew off again, and got marked by really strong experts, not even his bones would be left over. Moreover, he suspected that he had landed in a lair of alien cultivators, which made it even more dangerous to liftoff. The flying car landed on the ground faced his back at the particular rock. The moment that he kept the flying car, two hands quickly formed multiple complex hand techniques, then hit at the top of the rock behind him. Ambushing was something that Mo Wuji was familiar with. He was sure that the two of them wanted to get him by surprise, as the best moment to strike was the instant he kept the flying car, in particular the point in time when he put the flying car into his storage bag. Just as expected, when Mo Wuji kept the magic treasure, the two cultivators behind the rock made their move. Two beams of light shot towards him, and two men leapt out. "Bang! Bang!" Two electroballs exploded, and both of the cultivators got blown to a standstill. "Ahh¡­" Two screams rang out, and at that moment Mo Wuji just dodged one light beam, while the other pierced through his shoulder. But he disregarded his wounded state, leaping straight at the top of the rocks, and swinging the Tian Ji Pole at the same time. Even though he knew that two people were going to ambush him, he was still hit by one of the light beams, which meant that these two people were much stronger than he was. As the weaker party, he had to strike decisively from now on. One of the cultivators was more unlucky than the other, being hit directly on the neck. No matter how strong his neck was, it would not be able to withstand the electroball strike. He fell to the ground, body spasming uncontrollable. Likely, he would die soon. The other cultivator seemed to be rather battle hardened, and while he was still in the air, he knew that the ambush had failed, and his target had set up a counter ambush. Hence, he sent his snakehead mace towards Mo Wuji before he had reached the ground. Mo Wuji was also in the air, and he only had one option: to retract his Tian Ji Pole to block the snakehead mace. In reality, this cultivator did think of letting Mo Wuji escape, so that he could catch his breath before carrying on. However, the person he met was Mo Wuji. Once Mo Wuji knew that he had landed in the enemy¡¯s lair, the thought of escaping never entered his mind. Neither did he plan to be tangled in battle for long. Moreover, he was sure that his opponents would lose in this exchange. Not only did he head straight for the snakehead mace, but he swung his Tian Ji Pole down with even wilder elemental energy than before. The expression of the cultivator changed instantly. Never did he think that Mo Wuji was a lunatic. It¡¯s important to point out that anyone else would have avoided his mace, as it was aimed straight at Mo Wuji¡¯s heart and vitals. But now his opponent did not avoid the strike, and on top of that, wanted to trade lives with him. There was no time to change his attack, so the eyes of the cultivator grew cold. If you¡¯re not afraid of death, then why should I be? I¡¯ll just trade my life for yours. Moreover, this strike of the pole might not kill him, but his strike of the mace would definitely kill Mo Wuji. Before the mace could pierce Mo Wuji¡¯s body, he could feel the great deathly aura enveloping him. The snake¡¯s mouth on the mace spat out many beams of light, which broke Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy protective barrier, and directly hit his body. "Bang! Bang!" Two dull sounds rang out. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole smashed into the cultivators hipbone, and a sharp pain spread through his body at the same time. Mo Wuji could feel his strength leaving his body rapidly. Simultaneously, the sound of bone cracking and flesh tearing could be heard from the area below the Tian Ji Pole. The cultivator¡¯s heart sank as he realised that he had made a miscalculation. His opponent had started his attack first, while he started later. In this exchange, he had no advantage at all. Indeed, as he thought till this point, he saw the lower half of his body. His hip originally had been hit by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning strike, and the swing of the Tian Ji Pole had taken his hip clean off. While Mo Wuji fell to the ground, he pulled at the snakehead mace lodged in his chest as hard as he could, and with fear in his heart. This was a gamble, and he had won. He had calculated that his Tian Ji Pole would kill his opponent first, and as long as that happened, the strength behind the snakehead mace would disappear. Adding on the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armor that he was wearing, which could defend against some of the elemental energy, he should have been able to survive. Just like that, his heart almost got destroyed by his opponent. A hole was torn in the Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armor too. It was apparent that the battle he just fought was very dangerous. Chapter 188: The Great War Of Cultivators Chapter 188: The Great War Of Cultivators Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - After hastily taking some healing pills, Mo Wuji walked to the two corpses and retrieved their storage bags. Thereafter, he threw their magic treasures into his own storage bag before digging a hole and burying the two corpses. If this was elsewhere, he could have neglected this. However, Mo Wuji suspected this might be the lair of the alien cultivators, so he dared not casually leave these two bodies here. Mo Wuji was suddenly reminded of his jake token and he hurriedly fetched it from his waist. As expected, the words on the jade token were updated. Cultivator 2705, Contribution Points: 22, Ranking: NIL Mo Wuji lamented; he had killed two fellas with a higher cultivation than him but he only got 22 points. Then exactly how many alien cultivators did those freaks with 10,000 over points kill? It looks like these contribution points wasn''t easy to obtain. Mo Wuji sighed and speedily left the location. Regardless of whether this was the alien cultivators territory or not, it would not be good to stay here. This whole area of the Thunder Fog Forest had been completely destroyed and the surroundings were barren. It was unclear whether this had been caused by the war or whether this was deliberately done by the alien cultivators. It took four hours for Mo Wuji to finally walk out from this barren wasteland and return to the dense, thick forests. As he entered the Thunder Fog Forest, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Even if this was the alien cultivators¡¯ territory, they wouldn''t be able to set up camp within the forest. Mo Wuji had entered the Thunder Fog Forest before, and that was only at the peripheries. But he had learnt that if one were to get lost within the Thunder Fog Forest, it was very likely that he would lose his little life. Not even supreme Earth Realm experts would dare to enter this forest. Thus, this would be a good place for him to conceal himself and make sense of the situation. The moment he entered the Thunder Fog Forest, Mo Wuji could hear the unceasing sounds of lightning and thunder. Perhaps it might be the huge wars between the alien cultivators and the five empires¡¯ cultivators, but Mo Wuji did not see a single demonic beast since he entered the Thunder Fog Forest. One reason why the Thunder Fog Forest was so threatening, besides the demonic beasts, would be the various kinds of poison fogs. Of course, the most terrifying thing was still the lightning; if you were to accidentally fall into a lightning lake, or if lightning were to suddenly strike down on you, then it might be would be difficult for you to emerge alive from this forest. However, Mo Wuji had no hints of worry; after entering the Thunder Fog Forest, he started running into the depths at a rapid pace. He was a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner, so he didn''t really care about the poison fog and the venomous bugs. At the same time, the most deadly and fatal lightning bolts were simply sources of lightning essence for his Lightning Flash cultivation. In a single day, Mo Wuji had been struck with more than ten bolts of lightning of varying thicknesses. If it was an average cultivator, even if he was in the Transcending Mortality Stage, would have been struck to the ground. Not only wasn''t Mo Wuji sprawling on the ground, the lightning bolts didn''t even injure Mo Wuji, with the exception of one exceptionally thick bolt. Moreover, he started running into the depths at a faster speed. Three days later, Mo Wuji stopped. He had finally seen some demonic beasts. The presence of demonic beasts meant that this place was safe. Demonic beasts bad a higher sensitivity towards danger than human beings, and since demonic beasts had appeared in the surroundings, it would mean that the vicinity was not too dangerous. After carefully lurking around for two hours, Mo Wuji finally found a safe place to conceal himself; it was by a cliff within a lightning valley. In the Thunder Fog Forest, besides the lightning lakes, there were lightning valleys, lightning pools, lightning forests, etc. A lightning lake was okay. If an average person encountered a lightning lake, he would immediately raise his caution and skirt around carefully. On the other hand, the lightning forests were especially dangerous. It looked like an ordinary forest, but the moment a person entered it, he would immediately be surrounded by countless amounts of lightning bolts, and would get struck till he dies. A majority of the cultivators who died in the Thunder Fog Forest died due to the lightning forests. The lightning valley was also a common sight in the Thunder Fog Forest. It was a narrow valley which was constantly being struck by lightning. In contrast to the lightning forests, the number of cultivators who perished in the lightning valleys were little. After all, the lightning valley were far too conspicuous. From afar, one could see the convergence of thunder clouds above the valley; only a fool would enter the lightning valley. It was precisely due to this danger of entering the lightning valley that Mo Wuji chose to dig his immortal cave by a cliff within a lightning valley. The lightning valley he was in was extremely narrow; the gap between the the two sides of the valley was not even a meter long with occasional powerful lightning bolts appearing. In this lightning valley, Mo Wuji was struck by at least ten bolts of lightning before he barely managed to dig an immortal cave to conceal himself. Mo Wuji finally relaxed when he installed an elementary defensive array at the entrance of his immortal cave. For the time being, he was safe. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t really worried about getting lost within the Thunder Fog Forest? So what if he couldn¡¯t get out? He was a pill refiner, and he could absorb lightning to cultivate his skill, it didn¡¯t really matter to him if he squandered his time here in the Thunder Fog Forest. Mo Wuji had this line of thought, simply because he truly had no ties. After he settled down, Mo Wuji fetched the two storage bags. He was truly curious whether alien cultivators would have any good stuff. As he opened the first storage bag, the first thing he saw was a pile of spirit stones. Mo Wuji really wasn¡¯t lacking in spirit stones, so it didn¡¯t really matter to him. Putting them aside, he found three jade boxes, a few vases of pills and some technique manuals. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to open those pill vases and went straight for the three jade boxes. Disappointingly, the three jade boxes all only contained some slightly high quality spiritual herbs. As he slipped through those manuals, nothing really caught his eye. Dejectedly throwing these stuff aside, Mo Wuji opened the second storage bag. He was able to quickly erase the storage bag¡¯s imprint and see what was inside. Yet another pile of spirit stones and pills. But this storage bag was a little better than the first one; within this storage bag, Mo Wuji found a spiritual item. The other things also didn¡¯t really catch his eye. The only good thing was that he now had two more storage bags. After packing these sh*t, Mo Wuji poured out a pile of spirit stones; he had decided to undergo closed door cultivation here, and at least get to Spirit Building Stage Level 10. If he was previously at Spirit Building Stage Level 10, those two cultivators¡¯ ambush wouldn¡¯t even have injured him. ¡­ Within the Xing Han Empire Thunder Fog Forest, tens of thousands of cultivators were at war. Magic items were clashing, skills were colliding, the engagement of opposing elemental energy was causing explosions in the air. Dazzling lights filled the sky, and at every instant, there would be a cultivator killed or maimed. The war between cultivators and soldiers were different; here, everyone used different skills and techniques, and each individual skill had their own sphere and area of power. It was more accurate to call this war of cultivators an individual war. Perhaps the cultivators could also gather their forces into an army, but this was no cultivator army. The Five Great Empires were always controlled by mortals, and the various sects had their own differences, so naturally there wouldn¡¯t be a cultivator army. The alien forces also did not seem to have formed a cultivator army. The two sides were evenly matched, and this battle soon became a tangled mess. However, the alien cultivators were able to detect this problem earlier, and they were slowly forming a cultivator army to concentrate their power. Thus, in the recent few battles, the number of cultivators from the Five Great Empires who fell in battle increased. Cen Shuyin¡¯s hands rapidly formed intricate hand seals, and when she released them, a bolt of lightning would be shot out. With every lightning bolt, a cultivator would be heavily injured or even killed. Ever since she had reached the Xing Han Empire encampment, she had participated in five great wars. She was especially grateful to Mo Wuji. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash, the battles wouldn¡¯t have been so easy. Every time she met with danger, Lightning Flash would save her. She had her own ice type skills but the attack power of those skills were incomparable to Lightning Flash. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash had an even better plus point: it could endlessly absorb lightning for power. And in the Thunder Fog Forest, there was no lack of lightning. She really wanted to find Mo Wuji and thank him. But ever since she separated from Mo Wuji three months ago, she did not hear any news of him. Cen Shuyin condensed another bolt of lightning and turned a Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1 cultivator to dust. At this moment, a long whistle could be heard across the battlefield. Cen Shuyin stopped; she had participated in many battles before and she was clear of the procedures. This battle had just ended, and the next battle would come soon. She would need to quickly collect her spoils of war and recuperate her energy. Even though there were tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of cultivators, the ones leading were those peak experts. Cen Shuyin collected her spoils of war and looked at the jade token hung on her waist. She had already accumulated 781 points and her ranking was 1563 on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Point Board. However, this was not what delighted Cen Shuyin the most; Cen Shuyin was especially contented that after these three months of life and death battles, she had broke through to the Yuan Dan Stage. Now, she lacked some closed door cultivation to stabilise her condition. "Junior apprentice sister Shuyin," A slightly husky voice called out to her. Cen Shuyin turned to see Ren Tianxing; Ren Tianxing had called out to her when they were still quite a distance apart. "Shuyin greets senior apprentice brother Ren. Congratulations on transcending the Mortal Realm and advancing into the Yuan Dan Stage. I believe that with senior apprentice brother Ren¡¯s talents, you would soon transcend the Earth Realm and become a True God." Cen Shuyin stopped in her tracks and paid respects to Ren Tianxing. Ren Tianxing had also just advanced into the Yuan Dan Stage; his spirituality was surging and he had not fully stabilized his cultivation. Ren Tianxing laughed ruefully, "Previously, I was a little proud of my talent, but I can no longer feel proud about it. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve heard of the Pill Pagoda¡¯s junior apprentice sister Yan¡¯Er? She did not enter the Pill Pagoda for long but she is already in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 5. Compared to her, I¡¯m like sh*t. Let¡¯s not talk about that, I heard that you came together with junior apprentice brother Mo Wuji. Do you know where junior apprentice brother Mo went off to?" Cen Shuyin went silent; she only spoke after some time, "Junior apprentice brother Mo and I separated in An Yang. He said that he would come to the battlefield, but I did not see him. I¡¯m afraid¡­" Cen Shuyin did not finish her words but Ren Tianxing could understand what she was implying. Things did not seem to bode well for Mo Wuji. Chapter 189: The Great Battle in the Thunder Fog Forest Chapter 189: The Great Battle in the Thunder Fog Forest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The moment Ren Tianxing heard about this, he became silent too. Given his pride, there were very few people whom he admired and even though Mo Wuji was an outer disciple with a rather low aptitude, Ren Tianxing enjoyed interacting with him. Furthermore, Mo Wuji never looked down on himself even though he was only an outer disciple. Ren Tianxing was willing to befriend Mo Wuji, give up on searching for the earth fire in the Lost Sky Ruins, accompany him back to the sect and even gift him a self-disguising spiritual item precisely because he truly admired a person like Mo Wuji. Now that he realised that Mo Wuji might have fallen, he would naturally be feeling slightly dejected. It definitely wasn¡¯t easy for a cultivator to meet a true friend in this world. There were two black scarfed cultivators bending down to clean up the victory goods on the floor not too far away from where Ren Tianxing and Cen Shuyin were conversing at. The two cultivators only stood up after Ren Tianxing and Cen Shuyin left. If Mo Wuji was here, he would have recognised one of them. He was Honest Qi from the Honest Provision Shop. "That Cen Shuyin came over with Mo Wuji yet had no idea where Mo Wuji went. She is really a dumb woman," Honest Qi badmouthed Cen Shuyin as he watched her back. The black scarfed woman beside him grunted, "You are the dumb one. The woman and Mo Wuji were clearly not that close so why would she know where Mo Wuji went?" "So what should we do now?" Honest Qi changed the topic the moment he heard this woman reprimanding him. The black scarfed woman saw the fog shrouded Thunder Fog Forest from away as she pondered for while before replying, "We have gotten rid of the three people who have seen the Celestial Sunflower Gold and Mo Wuji was the only one to have seen them before. We have to find that Mo Wuji kid by hook or by crook." "Aren¡¯t we overestimating this kid?" Honest Qi said while laughing. The black scarfed woman grunted yet again, "If that kid was actually capable of noticing your spiritual imprint and then pass the misfortune onto somebody else, he could very likely follow your spiritual imprint to find that spirit stone quarry. This is our only clue. From what we found out, Mo Wuji was likely to be in the Thunder Fog Forest after arriving in An Yang and this was confirmed by the words of Cen Shuyin earlier. Where do you think he would have went if he wasn¡¯t here?" Honest Qi did not continue talking as the woman had already made her intentions clear. They have to find Mo Wuji even if he did not have the Celestial Sunflower Gold. "He could have been killed too," Honest Qi sighed. Previously, he thought he had Mo Wuji under his observation only to realise that Mo Wuji was not fooled by him. The one who was truly fooled was Honest Qi and he even lost a Solitary Dark Pill to him. The black scarfed woman gave Honest Qi a cold look before ranting at him, "You really think a scheming, crafty person like him would fall so easily in the war of cultivators? Only an idiot like you would die so easily here." Seeing how Honest Qi wanted to ask for instructions again, the black scarfed woman raised her hand to slap him. Honest Qi did not dare to dodge it as her slap landed heavily on him. After slapping Honest Qi, the black scarfed woman said, "If you are Mo Wuji who has offended many people in the sect, where would you hide after arriving here?" "I wouldn¡¯t be hiding because I would be rushing to get out of this place," Honest Qi said exactly what was in his heart. "So you are still a coward after all? Even an outer disciple like him had the guts to scold a lord straight in his face. Seems like you will never make it as an outer disciple in your entire life. Let me tell you now, if that Mo Wuji dared to fool you and even come to this war of cultivators voluntarily, he would not leave so easily. He must have had his own plans¡­" The black scarfed woman lashed out at him restlessly. "I understand now, he would go to the Thunder Fog Forest¡­" Honest Qi blurted out energetically. The black scarfed woman¡¯s eyes lit up, "That¡¯s right, he could only go to the Thunder Fog Forest. Let¡¯s go to the Thunder Fog Forest immediately. If we still couldn¡¯t find the Celestial Sunflower this time round, we would have to leave the Lost Sky City¡¯s underground market. To investigate Mo Wuji, they had asked a lot of people for his whereabouts. Even though this was nothing significant, they had already revealed their own identity. ¡­ "Ah, this Thunder Fog Forest has too many lightning bolts. That kid must be insane to come here¡­"yet another lightning bolt struck Honest Qi¡¯s shoulder before he had the time to avoid it as he could only curse. Within a day in the Thunder Fog Forest, he had been struck by over 10 lightning bolts. Before Honest Qi could finish his sentence, he paused all of a sudden as he saw two men blocking their path. "Idiot, how many times have I told you to keep your mouth shut?" The black scarfed woman raged at Honest Qi the moment she saw the two men in front of them. "I must admit that both of you are quite gutsy so why do you have to be so sneaky? If you want to go to our Floating Star¡¯s encampment, you could go there directly without making a detour through the Thunder Fog Forest," the one speaking was a short and plump man. The man, who had a head of golden hair, big wide ears and a little squarish eyes, was holding a pitched black steel ball. On the first glance, he looked just like a laughable short wintermelon. Both Honest Qi and the black scarfed woman grew suspicious as they would definitely not take this short wintermelon lightly. This short wintermelon¡¯s spiritual aura was well reserved within him as if he was an immortal master. Standing beside this short wintermelon was an average built man with a face as straight as a coffin board. He was lifeless with his eyelids almost shut as if he was thinking about something else. However, the killing intent in him was no lesser than the short wintermelon. "Keke¡­" Honest Qi coughed twice before cupping his fist to say, "My two Dao friends have misunderstood, it is really a big misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with the sh*tty Hundred Sect Alliance of the Five Big Empires as we will be here in the Thunder Fog Forest purely to find some spiritual herbs and nothing more." "I am sorry to say that the Thunder Fog Forest is now our territory," That short wintermelon said as he swinged his steel ball around. "Since this is the case, we shall leave immediately," The black scarfed woman responded instantaneously as she could feel that these two men were definitely not weaker than them. "Don¡¯t leave since you¡¯re already here¡­" This time, it was the coffin face man who spoke and after this sentence, he bombarded over tens of strands of thin silk towards the black scarfed woman. Almost simultaneously, the short wintermelon made his move too. The steel ball which he was swinging around previously suddenly became a dark, black hole-like ball as it swung towards Honest Qi. Inevitably, Honest Qi drew out a steel hammer which ripped open the surrounding air before clashing with the black hole-like ball. "Hong!" An intense blast of elemental energy coupled with the sound of metals clashing caused a few inches deep gulley to explode out of thin air. A great recoil of elemental energy hit Honest Qi as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before being sent flying backwards. The short wintermelon didn¡¯t have it easy either as he only barely managed to forcefully swallow the mouthful of fresh blood instead. As compared to Honest Qi and the short wintermelon¡¯s moves, the black scarfed woman and the coffin man¡¯s moves were relentless. The coffin man¡¯s over 10 silk thread was mostly fended off by the black scarfed woman¡¯s crescent blade. However, the enormous amount of elemental energy in the tens of strands of thin silk eventually broke through the black scarfed woman¡¯s wall of defense. Just like an invisible iron claw, the coffin man tore apart the black scarfed on the woman. The woman eventually revealed a pale face with a thin lips. "Let¡¯s leave quickly!" After just a single round of exchanging blows, the black scarfed woman knew that it would be impossible for Honest Qi and herself to kill these two because they were definitely not any weaker than themselves. Even before the woman¡¯s prompt, Honest Qi had already started escaping into the depth of the Thunder Fog Forest. The black scarfed woman drew a semicircular arc in the air before following closely behind Honest Qi into the depth of the Thunder Fog Forest. Without any hesitation, the two cultivators battling Honest Qi and the black scarfed woman immediately chased after them. Other than a huge gulley and a ground of complete disorder, there was nothing left behind at the place where the four of them fought. ¡­ "Pa!" Mo Wuji swept away the spirit stones powder on his body before standing up. Ever since he started cultivating, this was the greatest difficulty he had faced. Who knows how many spirit stones he had exhausted within this three months worth of cultivation yet he only managed to advance from Spirit Building Stage Level 9 to the later stage of the same level. He was still very far off his short term goal: Spirit Building Stage Level 10. Mo Wuji saw the floor full of spirit stones¡¯ shreds as he sighed helplessly. Perhaps, he had to cultivate behind closed doors for over one and a half year before being able to advance to Spirit Building Stage Level 10. No way, I have to continue cultivating. He had the experience of Channel Opening Stage Level 10 and previously, he was only able to kill the two Spirit Building Stage cultivators because he was in Channel Opening Stage Level 10. This proved that the vast difference between level 9 and level 10 was almost as great as an entire realm. After tidying up the immortal cave, Mo Wuji made up his mind to not give up until he managed to reach Spirit Building Stage Level 10. "Hong!" A spine-chilling explosion of elemental energy shocked Mo Wuji. He quickly put away the spirit stones which he took out as he cautiously turned his elementary monitor rune on. His monitor rune was placed beside the defensive array so as to prevent anybody from entering. Previously, Mo Wuji offed his monitor rune because he was cultivating. However, as that there was such an intense explosion outside, he naturally had to take a look. From his monitor rune, he could see four blurry figures engaging in a hot-blooded battle. The battle between the man and woman resulted in sand and stones flying all around as Mo Wuji could not see anything at all. There was another head-on duel between two men as every time the two magic treasure clashed, a huge pile of gravel slag would be flying around because of it. No way. Mo Wuji was able to recognise one of the man as Honest Qi of the Lost Sky Ruins very swiftly. The more Mo Wuji witnessed the fight, the more frightened he felt. He previously did suspect that Honest Qi was acting as a pig to eat a tiger, however, after witnessing Honest Qi¡¯s true strength, he felt even more unsettled. Mo Wuji was sure that out of everyone he met before, he had never seen a person as strong as Honest Qi. Seeing how huge rocks and trees were being destroyed by the four of them, he even witnessed the gully expanding. Mo Wuji could only curse in his heart about how unlucky he was because back when he first dug an immortal cave in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he was immediately met with an ambush by a high grade demonic beast. Now that he was in the Thunder Fog Forest, he was met with such incident yet again. This time it wasn¡¯t just one but four high grade experts fighting right in front of his entrance. Noticing how the rocks outside of the lightning valley were collapsing one after the other, Mo Wuji knew that it wouldn¡¯t be long before his immortal cave fell apart too. If that happened, he would have nowhere else to hide. Chapter 190: Surviving A Deadly Situation Chapter 190: Surviving A Deadly Situation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Hong! Hua!" Mo Wuji¡¯s worries eventually turned into reality; his lightning valley was torn apart. The cliffs on both sides of the valley started to collapse, and as the cliffs collapsed, his immortal cave naturally wouldn¡¯t be spared. As for his defensive array, under the powerful clashes of elemental energy, it was simply like a joke. It couldn¡¯t even take a single hit. Mo Wuji rushed out with ash and dirt all over his face and landed by the edge of a hole outside the lightning valley. Before the four could speak, Mo Wuji waved his hands and said, "You guy¡¯s continue, I¡¯m just passing by to get some soy sauce [1]..." As he spoke, Mo Wuji was constantly retreating backwards. The moment Mo Wuji rushed out from the valley, the four were instantly shocked. But after seeing how the young-looking Mo Wuji didn¡¯t exude any ripples of spirituality, that short wintermelon and coffin man decided to treat him like air. They did not continue to care about Mo Wuji and continued to attack the black scarfed woman and Honest Qi. On the other hand, Honest Qi and that black scarfed woman were ecstatic. They had always been finding Mo Wuji, they never would have expected that Mo Wuji would actually hide within a lightning valley. If not for their encounter with these two, even if they ransacked the entire Thunder Fog Forest, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to find this crafty kid. Honest Qi snorted in his heart, Buy soy sauce? Even if you were here to buy petrol, I wouldn¡¯t let you go. Since Mo Wuji had appeared, Honest Qi and the black scarfed woman did not continue to retreat as they defended themselves. They gave each other knowing glances, and could see the glee in the other¡¯s eyes. Their attacks started to get more crazed and relentless. They even threw out some of their most desperate moves. Mo Wuji could tell that Honest Qi and the black scarfed woman were in one team, while the other two guys were in another team. The two guys seemed to be alien cultivators. With the four¡¯s power, regardless of who emerged victorious, a small Spirit Building Stage cultivator like him die with a single glance. Mo Wuji stealthily took a few steps back; he needed to make use of the opportunity that there were no clear victors to leave this battlefield. He felt some regret that he didn¡¯t put on his mask during his cultivation, which caused him to be recognised by Honest Qi. 3 meters, 6 meters¡­ As Mo Wuji slowly retreated, he kept his guards up and attention on the battle. He decided that the moment he reached the 15 meters mark, he would turn and bolt. 9 meters¡­ 12 meters¡­ An icy cold energy pounced towards him, Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body seemed to be locked in place, unable to extricate himself. He desperately wanted to fetch his Tian Ji Pole and break this apart, but unfortunately, he was far too weak. "Pu!" A long spear stabbed Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder, and pinned him to the ground. Honest Qi, this bast*rd is truly a black-bellied old man. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart but there was nothing he could do. At this moment, Honest Qi¡¯s back was towards him; Mo Wuji really wanted to give Honest Qi a taste of his Lightning Flash. That would give that short wintermelon a chance to eliminate him. Unfortunately, that was just a fleeting thought. If Honest Qi died, he wouldn¡¯t have anywhere to go. Mo Wuji slowly climbed back up, and at the same time, he gritted his teeth and slowly pulled the spear out of his shoulder. Thereafter, he took some healing pills. He knew that as long as he didn¡¯t move, Honest Qi would not act against him. As expected, seeing that Mo Wuji no longer retreated, Honest Qi became more ¡®honest¡¯ and did not attack him. However, the hammer in his hand became even more ruthless. "Ah¡­" Just as Mo Wuji was contemplating on how he planned to escape, a mournful scream could be heard. Mo Wuji subconsciously turned over to see the the woman being wrapped in tens of strands of glowing, thin silk; blood seeped out from where the silk met her flesh. If this woman was unable to break these thin silk apart, she could very well be sliced alive. Honest Qi instantly became anxious; the hammer in his hand transformed into countless of huge hammer shadows which were hurled towards the short wintermelon. From the looks of it, he wanted to force the short wintermelon into retreat to save the girl. However, the short wintermelon also knew that this was a critical moment in their battle, and acted with similar frenzy. He used his steel ball to wildly crash against Honest Qi, not giving Honest Qi the opportunity to retreat by even half a step. With every hurl of his steel ball, there seemed to be the vacuum suction of a black hole. Facing this kind of power, even Honest Qi was completely unable to extricate himself. Seeing that Honest Qi was unable to lend a hand, Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze shifted from Honest Qi to the woman. The woman was wrapped in countless strands of thin silk as blood slowly oozed out of her body. Terror filled her eyes¡­ Mo Wuji once again shifted his eyes back to Honest Qi. He wanted to see how Honest Qi intended to save this woman. The moment this woman was killed, he would be alone and he would definitely die. Soon, Mo Wuji was able to notice that something was amiss; Honest Qi was anxious, but that anxiousness only appeared on his face. In actuality, his attacks were matched against the short wintermelon¡¯s, and they were no bit impatient. Most importantly, Mo Wuji did not see the anxious and scared expression within Honest Qi¡¯s eyes. This woman had met with danger, but why is Honest Qi¡¯s eyes and attacks the same? This woman must be planning something. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji diverted his eyes back on the woman. The woman was truly terrified and anxious, she did not look like she was faking it. Mo Wuji was truly unable to make sense of this situation, how was this woman going to turn the tables around? Both her hands were tied; unless she could use her spiritual will to attack her opponent? However, that coffin man wasn¡¯t an easy opponent, using spiritual will alone, or using spiritual will to control a magic treasure to attack him might not be able to faze him. "Pu!" More blood spilled out from the woman¡¯s body, she seemed to be on the verge of death. At this moment, Mo Wuji became more sure that his judgement was not wrong; this woman definitely had some killing ace. He suddenly fetched his Tian Ji Pole and rushed for this woman¡¯s neck. If he retreated, he would die. If he did nothing, he would also die. He might as well play this gamble. This might be his only chance, so how could he just let it go? The instant Mo Wuji moved, a claw suddenly formed from the woman¡¯s abdomen. The claw was like a shadow and reached the coffin man in the shortest time possible, piercing through his chest. A heart dripping with fresh blood was ripped out by this claw, the heart seemed to still be beating. The coffin man seemed to be filled with confusion; he lowered his head and stared at the gaping hole in his chest, seemingly unable to understand what had just happened. "Peng! Kacha!" At the instant the woman made her sudden move to grab the coffin man¡¯s heart, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole smashed against her neck. The woman was already tangled by the coffin man¡¯s thin silk, and was heavily injured. Now, Mo Wuji had used his Tian Ji Pole to strike at her neck. Her neck was instantly torn apart, and only a layer of skin remained. No matter how strong she was, she wasn¡¯t able to train her neck to be as hard as steel. If she wasn¡¯t injured, she might have been able to use elemental energy to defend herself from Mo Wuji¡¯s pole. But for now, she could only die bafflingly under Mo Wuji¡¯s strike. "Peng! Peng!" Two consecutive sounds. The coffin man and the woman fell to the ground at the same time. Mo Wuji secretly celebrated in his heart, he had truly grasped the right opportunity. If his pole was a little later, he might not have hit this woman. If he was earlier, then the coffin man would not have suffered any damage. These were two undesirable circumstances. This result where his one pole resulted in both parties suffering was exactly what he wanted. The sudden change shocked both Honest Qi and that short wintermelon; Honest Qi naturally knew of the woman¡¯s methods, but he could not have expected for Mo Wuji to dare use this chance to sneak an attack on her. The short wintermelon was also shocked still; not only was it shocking for an ant like Mo Wuji to suddenly strike a much higher existence, it was more astounding for a hand to emerge from that woman¡¯s abdomen. Cold sweat trickled down his back. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s sneak attack, that woman would have killed his companion and join forces with his opponent to deal with him. No matter how strong he was, he would eventually die under the hands of this baffling abdomen hand. As Mo Wuji saw the two perish together, he immediately cried loud, "So what if you¡¯re from the Hundred Sect Alliance? The Thunder Fog Forest is our territory. An old thing like you dares intrude in our territory, you¡¯re simply looking for death." "Lord, let me see whether this senior can be saved¡­" As he spoke, Mo Wuji already retrieved some fragrant healing pills and stuffed it in the coffin man¡¯s mouth. Thereafter, he carefully hugged the coffin man, seeming as though he was going to shift the coffin man to the side for treatment. The reason for Mo Wuji¡¯s actions was because he was afraid that Honest Qi would attack him again. Now, he was acting as though he was on the same side as the short wintermelon, and if Honest Qi were to act against him, the attack would be blocked by that short wintermelon. Mo Wuji¡¯s series of actions caused that short wintermelon to believe that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a cultivator from the Lost Continent, but was like him, a cultivator from the Floating Star. Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction did not go wrong; the instant he eliminated that woman, Honest Qi shot out another beam of light. However, this time, the short wintermelon did not standby as he also sent out a beam of light to strike against Honest Qi¡¯s. At the same time, his steel ball continued to form black holes which were hurled towards Honest Qi. The first time Honest Qi struck Mo Wuji, the short wintermelon didn¡¯t do anything. But this time around, Honest Qi wasn¡¯t so lucky. With one sneak attack, the tables had turned. Even though Honest Qi desperately wanted to deal with Mo Wuji, he had to deal this with the short wintermelon¡¯s killer attacks. As Mo Wuji carried the coffin man, he saw the ring on the woman¡¯s hands. He did not hesitate to retrieve that storage ring before retreating with the coffin man. Knowing that this coffin man was on his final breaths, Mo Wuji took out another aromatic pill and stuffed it in the coffin man¡¯s mouth before saying mournfully, "Senior, you must hold on, you have to hold on. Our side definitely cannot go without senior¡­" As he said this, Mo Wuji secretly took the storage ring off the coffin man¡¯s finger. "Oh right, the Thunder Fog Forest has a spiritual ingredient called the Heart Protecting Flower. Senior, hold on ah. I will help you find the Heart Protecting Flower¡­" Finishing this sentence, Mo Wuji turned and charged into the Thunder Fog Forest. He disappeared in the blink of an eye; he did not even give that short wintermelon the time to react. It was only now that the short wintermelon find that something was amiss. When Mo Wuji was saving his companion, why didn¡¯t Mo Wuji help retrieve his companion¡¯s heart and stuff it back in? If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t do that, then why would there be any point in getting the Heart Protecting Flower? However, Mo Wuji ran away too quickly, and he was being tied down by Honest Qi. "Idiot, barbaric morons¡­" Honest Qi saw that Mo Wuji had escaped and became even more crazed in his attacks against the short wintermelon. He was more clear of Mo Wuji¡¯s craftiness than the short wintermelon. If Mo Wuji really returned with a Heart Protecting Flower, he would willingly commit suicide. The short wintermelon was enraged by Honest Qi¡¯s ruthless attacks, and could no longer be bothered to care about Mo Wuji. The steel ball in his hands were shrouded in killing intent as he threw it towards Honese Qi. [1] It¡¯s a joke-like phrase HAHA Chapter 191: The Safest Place Chapter 191: The Safest Place Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji bolted. Previously, he still exercised caution when he entered the Thunder Fog Forest and made sure that he did not delve too deep for fear of encountering terrifying demonic beasts. But now, Mo Wuji did not give a sh*t; even if there was a strong demonic beast in front of him, he would not hesitate to charge forward. Albeit Honest Qi, or that short wintermelon, their powers were far beyond what Mo Wuji could match. If the two discovered a slightest trace of him, he would die horribly. Mo Wuji ran for close to four days before he finally stopped. It wasn''t because he didn''t want to run any further, but because he truly didn''t dare to do so. As he arrived, he heard the sounds of a ferocious roar. He had heard such a beast roar before; back in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, the cry of a demonic beast undergoing heavenly tribulation was equally terrifying. If he were to continue running, he might just run straight into the demonic beast''s mouth. With this pause, Mo Wuji finally had the time to look at the two storage rings in his hand. His heart was filled with anticipation; these two rings were his greatest spoils of war. These two rings alone made it all worthwhile. He was in no rush to erase the imprints on the rings, it was more important to find a place to conceal himself. Keeping the rings close to himself, Mo Wuji started cautiously searching for a hiding place. Even though he had ran for four whole days in the Thunder Fog Forest, it was still not safe. Naturally, the safest place for him would be the lightning valleys. But unfortunately, he did not dare enter a lightning valley for now; he was afraid that Honest Qi would specially search for him within lightning valleys. After all, he had stayed in a lightning valley before and he was still discovered by Honest Qi. A lightning lake might also be a good alternative. Mo Wuji turned to look at a nearby lightning lake but his heart was still filled with apprehension. Minutes later, Mo Wuji gave up on the idea of hiding in the lightning lake. If Honest Qi had not discovered him hiding within a lightning valley, then the lightning lake might be a good choice. But for now, the lightning lake might not be the best of options. Mo Wuji gazed towards the unfathomably deep and boundless Thunder Fog Forest and sighed inwardly. At this moment, leaving the Thunder Fog Forest was the best option. However, it was easy to enter the Thunder Fog Forest, but it was difficult to exit it. Where exactly can I hide? Mo Wuji grabbed his hair in desperation. Suddenly, he turned to look at the ground beneath his feet. Due to his footsteps, the ground had been trampled and flattened. If a person passed by and saw this scene, they would definitely deduce that someone had passed by. It was as jarring as and as open as the center of a highway road. What was that phrase again? The most dangerous place was also the safest. There¡¯s also this other word called blindspot. It¡¯s decided, this open area would be his hiding spot, just that he wouldn¡¯t be above the ground, but underneath it. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze turned towards the lightning lake; it wasn¡¯t easy to dig his way under the ground from the lightning lake. After all, he didn¡¯t know any earth type skills. But regardless of the difficulty, Mo Wuji was resolute on this decision. Honest Qi definitely wouldn¡¯t expect for him to hide underneath this open ground. This was because Spirit Building cultivators wouldn¡¯t be able to form an inner breath, thus, they would need air to survive. It was due to this reason that cultivators did not confine themselves in spaces devoid of air. Even Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to stay underground without air. However, Mo Wuji had an advantage which others didn¡¯t: he was a practitioner of the Array Dao. He would be able to install an elementary life array which would be able to provide him with vitality and air. Thus, he wouldn¡¯t suffocate to death while he was underground, and would be able to stay there for as long as he liked. Of course, this was on the premise that he could successfully install the elementary life array. Mo Wuji walked towards the lightning lake and picked the safest spot for him to enter. There was another advantage in digging from the lightning lake; the constant descending of lightning would cause soil to splatter and quickly cover the hole. Two days later, Mo Wuji grudgingly stopped after filling all his storage bags with soil. He was truly unable to endure any further. Even though he had compressed the soil, and had dug many storage bags of soil, the area he obtained was not more than 1 square meter. With such a small space, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to sleep. Even though the space was small, Mo Wuji did not wish to dig any further. He suspected that if he were to continue boring through the ground, he would get bored to death. In the past two days, his circulation had even gotten erratic. Mo Wuji immediately installed an elementary life array and some illumination stones for light. It was only then did he have some time to take in some proper breaths of air. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely learn some five element skills. With such skills, he wouldn¡¯t need to struggle underground. At this moment, his spiritual will wasn¡¯t able to scan the ground above, nor did he have the need to. Even though he had spiritual will, he was still a Spirit Building Stage cultivator. Furthermore, if his spiritual will could reach above, then others¡¯ might also reach down below. In half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji gradually regained his former countenance, but he was too lazy to change his clothes. He immediately retrieved those two rings. Eh, the instant Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes swept across the jade token hung at his waist, he noticed that there was an additional row of words on it. Mo Wuji hurriedly grabbed it. Previously, he had been constantly running for his life and didn¡¯t have the time to look at his contribution points. Thereafter, he was busy preparing a hiding spot so he didn¡¯t have the opportunity to look at it. It was only with that cursory sweep that he discovered that new row of words that he was abruptly reminded of something: Perhaps that coffin man might have died in his hands! The Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s jade tokens would only record the contribution points from the fleeting soul of an alien cultivator who was personally killed by an alliance member. When Mo Wuji was tossing and turning the coffin man, that fella still had a few breaths left in him. Thereafter, he stuffed two pills into the coffin man¡¯s mouth. He might have just choked that coffin fella with that act. But that doesn¡¯t seem likely. Don¡¯t tell me that when I was carrying that fella away, I really killed him? Aiya, let¡¯s not bother about that. Since I have the contribution points, it means that that coffin man was killed by me. Mo Wuji lifted the contribution point jade token and the line of words instantly shocked him still. Rogue Cultivator 2705, Contribution Points: 9022, Ranking: 10. What insane level was that coffin man at? He was actually worth 9000 points? Mo Wuji knew that that all these 9000 points must have come from killing that coffin man. After all, the woman that he killed wasn¡¯t an alien cultivator, so she definitely wouldn¡¯t have given him any points. After a brief moment of astonishment, Mo Wuji exhaled a long breath of air and kept his contribution point jade token with great caution. He guessed that there would definitely be a commotion back at the Hundred Sect Alliance; a rogue cultivator suddenly rushed right into the top 10, who wouldn¡¯t take notice of that? These kind of points were the points that the top three had three months ago. Mo Wuji could not help but chuckle. He did not care about the ranking but those contribution points could be exchanged for many great things. How could he not be excited? But naturally, what made Mo Wuji the most contented wasn¡¯t the contribution points but those two storage rings. Even legacy disciples like Cen Shuyin and Ren Tianxing didn¡¯t have such things, but he actually obtained two of them. When the time comes, he might give one to Ren Tianxing. He was a person who was worth befriending. The first ring he took out was the coffin man¡¯s ring. Mo Wuji was about to use his spiritual will to remove his imprint when his heart skipped a beat. Thereafter, he immediately laughed out loud. He finally understood how that coffin man died; that fella wasn¡¯t killed because Mo Wuji carelessly moved him, nor was that fella killed because of his pills. That fella was angered to death by Mo Wuji. He only had a few breaths left, and he thought that Mo Wuji was there to save him. He never expected that he would be made use of by Mo Wuji to obtain the short wintermelon¡¯s protection. Not only that, his ring was robbed in front of his eyes by Mo Wuji. It would be weird if he wasn¡¯t angered to death. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will barged into the storage ring; he finally managed to erase the spiritual will imprint within the ring after half a day. An area of several square meters appeared in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. Mo Wuji exhaled a short breath of air, this storage ring was a huge room! The storage bag simply couldn¡¯t compare to it. In the meters wide space, there were many piles of spirit stones, spiritual ingredients and smithing materials. There even more piles of pill vases, and there was even a pile of jade boxes, jade letters and cultivation manuals. All these good stuff nearly blinded Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. He hurriedly grabbed and opened each and every one of those jade boxes. The worst he found was a Tier 6 spiritual herb. The others were either Tier 7 spiritual grass or spiritual fruits. Mo Wuji even found two strains of Tier 8 spiritual herbs. On the other hand, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even familiar with many of the smithing materials. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know that the jade letters were so he didn¡¯t touch them. Instead, he started flipping the manuals; there were all at least at the Treasured Mortal Grade, and there was even one at the Treasure Earth Grade. So many good things! Unfortunately, the only thing he could use now was the storage ring and those piles of spirit stones. After placing this ring aside, he fetched the second ring. This was that woman¡¯s storage ring. Mo Wuji directly sent his spiritual will into the ring. That woman had already perished, but her spiritual will imprint was actually much stronger than that coffin man. Mo Wuji had to spend a whole day in order to break that imprint apart. A space multiple times bigger than that coffin man¡¯s ring appeared in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. The area was at least in the tens of square meters. Where exactly did that woman come from? Besides the space of the ring, the things within it left Mo Wuji a little speechless. There were a few boxes filled with clothes, and the number of spirit stones did not exceed ten thousand. It was far from the number that the coffin man had. However, there was a pill furnace which caught Mo Wuji¡¯s attention. It was dull and inconspicuous, with a faint crimson trace by its side. If he did not look at it carefully, he would not have noticed it. This pill furnace did not look special but its grade should be not bad. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to declare this furnace as his own. Just right, he was lacking a furnace for him to concoct pills. The black scarfed woman¡¯s ring did not have those random manuals but there were three jade boxes placed at the cornet. Mo Wuji opened one of the jade boxes; a crystal clear thing exuding dense and pure spiritual energy lay within the jade box. "Heaven grade spirit stone?" Mo Wuji had obtained a Heaven grade spirit stone before. In one glance, he could tell that this was a Heaven grade spirit stone. Mo Wuji instantly got emotional, this was a great thing ah. Compared to that Treasured Earth Grade manual, this Heaven grade spirit stone was the thing he needed the most. Chapter 192: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Chapter 192: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji quickly opened the other two jade boxes, and discovered a Heaven grade spirit stone in each of them. Three Heaven grade spirit stones, what would happen if he used them all to cultivate? It was indeed a blessing in disguise. As a person near death, because he had clinched a crucial opportunity, not only did he avoid death, but also hit the jackpot. Seeing the looks on Honest Qi and that woman¡¯s faces, they probably came specially for him. At this point Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that he had given Honest Qi¡¯s items to those three unlucky fellas, so those three must have fallen into Honest Qi¡¯s hands. If that was the case, Honest Qi should have been aware of the Celestial Sunflower Gold in his hands by now. The reason that Honest Qi and that woman were here for him likely was the Celestial Sunflower Gold. After all, this sort of thing was a smithing treasure. Who wouldn¡¯t want a material that can be forged into flying magic treasures? Finally he understood why this woman had three Heaven grade spirit stones in her possession. These three Heaven grade spirit stones were obviously from a spirit stone mine. Those three unlucky fellas had likely dug up these Heaven grade spirit stones, but in the end got eliminated by Honest Qi and that woman. So their things naturally ended up in the hands of the woman. Cold sweat dripped down his back, as he became a little scared. If he did not meet Ren Tianxing mid-journey, he would have probably went back to the spirit stone quarry below that swamp after depleting the spirit stones he had on him. If he really did that, then he would have landed straight in Honest Qi¡¯s hands. Carefully refining the spacious storage ring, then imprinting his own spiritual will on it, Mo Wuji threw everything that belonged to him into the storage ting. In the end, he dared not wear the storage ring on his hands, instead using a thin piece of string to hang in around his neck. As for the other storage ring, he took out all of the items within it and kept it on him. If there was a chance in the future, he would give it to Ren Tianxing. Only after he finished all these preparations did Mo Wuji take out another pile of Earth grade spirit stones, then a Heaven grade spirit stones, in preparation to breakthrough to Spirit Building Stage Level 10. ¡­ Tian Shang Empire capital, Yan City. This was the largest capital of all the Five Great Empires, and no other could compare to it. Xing Han Empire¡¯s largest city, Chang Luo, would only fit into a section of Yan City. Not only was Yan City the largest capital, but even in terms of pure cultivation cities, not many could compare to it. This was because Yan City as a place where cultivators and mortals lived together. With its strict laws, cultivators and mortals did not have conflicts while coexisting together, and this also caused the whole city to become even more exciting. On the largest plaza in Yan City, the Yan City Plaza, there were two stone slabs erected too. Those two stone slabs were the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board and the Five Great Empire¡¯s Sect¡¯s Contribution Points Board. However those two stone slabs were many times larger than those in An Yang City¡¯s plaza. Both of them were like two gigantic towers at the center of the plaza. At this moment, many cultivators were gathered at the center of the plaza, and everyone seemed to be discussing the Hundred Sect Alliance contribution points ranking. The reason for all the chatter was the unfamiliar name that appeared on the ranking: Rogue Cultivator 2705, Contribution Points: 9022, Ranking: 13. "Who is this? How could a rogue cultivator get over 9000 points, and place at 13th? "I heard that a rogue cultivator¡¯s contribution points token has no name on it, and could malfunction, which means that this rogue cultivator¡¯s points is most likely not only over 9000 points¡­" "I know this rogue cultivator, a few days ago, he was even at 10th place, only dropping three positions these few days." "I¡¯m not sure who this guy is, to be able to overtake Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Liu Mang¡­" ¡­ The cultivators on Yan City Plaza were not the only people engaged in intense discussion, even in the Hundred Sect Alliance encampment, many sect elders and sect heads were also asking who this Rogue Cultivator 2705 was. How could someone with so much strength be a rogue cultivator? In any sect, he would be considered a legacy disciple. At this moment a slightly tubby man stood up, bowing respectfully to the people locked in debate, and said "Fellow dao friends, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to find out who Rogue Cultivator 2705 is. After all, we gave out about 10 to 20 thousand rogue cultivator jade tokens, so when he returns to exchange his contribution points, we¡¯ll naturally know who he is. I have a new suggestion though." "Elder Feng, please speak." Most of the people in the hall said in unison as they saw this slightly fat man stand up to speak. Even Feng Zhenqiu of Heaven Seeking Palace gave his approval. This guy might have appeared like a person who wouldn¡¯t hurt a fly, but in reality, he was a legitimate True God Stage expert. One of the sect protection elders, Feng Zhe. Feng Zhe¡¯s eyes formed a thin line, "Fellow dao friends, the rogue cultivator jade tokens that were distributed, are actually the defective products after our refining, and they only have the function of recording contribution points. Because this kind of jade token cannot have one¡¯s sect and identity written on it, so we¡¯re unable to count them under any of the sects. Normally, we would distribute these to rogue cultivators below Transcending Mortality Stage. It¡¯s much easier to make such jade tokens, and we originally didn¡¯t think much of it. After all, rogue cultivators below Transcending Mortality Stage usually are not really strong at fighting. " Then, he carried on, "However, I think that we¡¯ve done it wrongly now. Rogue Cultivator 2705 must have been a rogue cultivator below Transcending Mortality Stage to be able to obtain the rogue cultivator jade token. But he alone obtained over 9000 points, even breaking into the top 10 of the rankings. It is obvious how much he has contributed to the Five Great Empires. I suggest that we should make a batch of rogue cultivator jade tokens, with no minimum level set, that anyone can obtain." "I agree with Elder Feng¡¯s suggestion." This time it was Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Feng Zhenqiu that spoke. While the Great Evolution Sect was ahead of Heaven Seeking Palace on both rankings, but Feng Zhe¡¯s suggestion was beneficial to the entire Five Great Empires, so as the Second Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace, he wouldn¡¯t object to it. "I also agree!" "I agree!" Many sect elders and sect heads began to stand up one by one to express their support for this plan. ¡­ Mo Wuji did not know that because he obtained over 9000 points as a rogue cultivator, it had caused such a large commotion. At the moment, he was absorbing a Heaven grade spirit stone fervently. Previously, he only went from basic Spirit Building Stage Level 9 to advanced Level 9 after months of gruelling cultivation. But now that he had Heaven grade spirit stones, he could once again enjoy the comfortable feeling of cultivation. Using a Heaven grade spirit stone and a pile of Earth grade spirit stones, was just as comfortable as soaking in a pool of spiritual energy. This comfort caused all of the pores on Mo Wuji¡¯s body to open up, and all 100 meridians went through spiritual energy circulation wildly. The originally difficult cultivation level, finally began to rise steadily. In only a day¡¯s time, Mo Wuji had reached the Great Circle of Spirit Building Stage Level 9. The Heaven grade spirit stone¡¯s rich spiritual energy with a hint of cultivation dao continued to form waves, which crashed one by one into every meridian in his body. As the second day passed, his whole body suddenly trembled, and the feeling of breaking out of a cocoon came into his mind. At that moment, he had broken through to Spirit Building Stage Level 10. Forcibly, Mo Wuji suppressed the joy within him, and carried on absorbing spiritual energy. Based on his experience, when absorbing spiritual energy, it would be mainly absorbing the Earth grade spirit stones beneath him, followed by the spiritual energy from the Heaven grade spirit stone in between. This cultivation method¡¯s benefit was that he could prolong the duration of cultivation with the Heaven grade spirit stone, otherwise, a Heaven grade spirit stone would be depleted by him very quickly. Of course, there were bad points of absorbing spiritual energy this way, which was that his speed of cultivation slowed down somewhat. But no matter how much slower, it would still be faster than the five months he initially used to advance from basic Spirit Building Stage Level 9 to advanced Spirit Building Stage Level 9. Never did he want to return to that snail-crawling pace of cultivation ever again, so he had to use Heaven grade spirit stones conservatively. Something like Heaven grade spirit stones, could not be bought even if he wanted to. Pile after pile of spirit stones were sucked dry by Mo Wuji, and he gathered the remnants, before producing another pile of them. Cultivating underground made him slowly forget about everything else. A month later, Mo Wuji broke through Spirit Building Stage Level 10, and as expected, to Spirit Building Stage Level 11. Two months later, he broke through again, this time to Spirit Building Stage Level 12. After reaching Level 12, Mo Wuji muttered to himself. Now that I¡¯ve opened 100 meridians, will I have to cultivate to level 12 for every stage? Or does the Immortal Mortal Technique require me to cultivate to level 12? Regardless of what was going on, Mo Wuji had experience in this area already. Once he hit Spirit Building Stage Level 12, it meant that he was about to enter Transcend Mortality. After making necessary preparations, he circulated his spiritual energy according to the Immortal Mortal Technique, and tried to break through to Transcending Mortality Stage. As his cultivation level grew higher, the rate that he absorbed spiritual energy became faster and faster. The area that he affected became larger too, with an area of radius one meter around him being covered in a spiritual energy fog. "Bang!" A body shattering vibration caused Mo Wuji to open his eyes abruptly, and he looked at the Heaven grade spirit stone that had become ashes in his hands. He had not broken through to Transcending Mortality Stage, but rather, while he was ready to do so, his 101th meridian suddenly opened up. Naturally Mo Wuji knew what every meridian opening from now on entailed. It meant that his strength would increase many folds, and on top of that, his potential would increase by many times too. This was the reality. The instant that his 101th meridian was opened, the Heaven grade spirit stone in his hand was sucked dry, and the pile of Earth grade spirit stones on the ground had not many left in it. A feeling of immense strength flowed through his body, and Mo Wuji clenched his fight tightly. Even though he had not battled any strong opponents of the same level as him, he was very confident that he was unrivalled at his cultivation level. Once again throwing out a pile of Earth grade spirit stones, and taking out a second Heaven grade spirit stone, Mo Wuji was determined to breakthrough the Spirit Building Stage to Transcending Mortality Stage this time. Chapter 193: Surrounding Mo Wuji Chapter 193: Surrounding Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Tens of meters away from Mo Wuji¡¯s position, Honest Qi had a sullen look on his face. He had searched the Thunder Fog Forest for three months. Every lightning gorge, lightning lake, lightning jungle, even the hidden vine jungles had been searched by him, but there was no sign of Mo Wuji anywhere. It was as though Mo Wuji had vanished into thin air after entering Thunder Fog Forest three months ago. He suspected that Mo Wuji had been killed by some strong demonic beast, but yet he believed that Mo Wuji would not meet such an end. This was simply because that guy was too cunning. He swore that if he found Mo Wuji, he would drink every single drop of Mo Wuji¡¯s blood, and not waste a single piece of Mo Wuji¡¯s flesh. "Rumble...Rumble¡­" Intense rumbling came from a distance, and Honest Qi had no choice but to leave indignantly. He had no other option. Back then, he did not kill that short wintermelon, and now the alien cultivators were cleaning up the area. This Thunder Fog Forest had been destroyed completely by the alien cultivators, and became a empty field. The place that he was standing on would meet the same fate soon too. As Honest Qi was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a strong spiritual ripple, one that seemed like someone was about to breakthrough to the next stage. Immediately, he scanned outwards with his spiritual will. But before he could finish inspecting his surroundings in detail, a frightening white light shot at him from far away. Leaping forward, Honest Qi moved like a large bird, and ran on top of where Mo Wuji was doing closed door cultivation, deeper into Thunder Fog Forest. He knew that the idiot alien cultivators were back, and this part of Thunder Fog Forest would cease to exist very soon. Mo Wuji¡¯s idea of hiding in plain sight had saved his life again, as Honest Qi ignored his current closed door cultivation location, running away almost right from beside him. "Bang!" All of Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians trembled together, as a strong wave of elemental energy spread out from him dantian, filling up every single one of them. The rich elemental energy made him want to roar uncontrollably, and burst out of the underground. Almost at the same instant, his surroundings began to tremble too, and soil around him shook and fell. This caused Mo Wuji to open his eyes suddenly. He had advanced to Transcending Mortality Stage, but the tremor just now was definitely not caused by his breakthrough. Instead, it came from some battle above ground, so was there someone at his hiding location? "Bang Bang Bang!" Another round of explosions rang out, which confirmed his suspicions: someone had arrived at his location, and was engaging in a ferocious battle¡­ Wait a minute, this doesn¡¯t sound like a large battle. Mo Wuji quickly kept everything, placing the half used Heaven grade spirit stone back in the jade box. The joy from opening his 101th meridian was temporarily thrown to a side, and he put on the self disguising mask once again, turning into a black scarred monk. "Whoosh!" A large piece of earth fell down, and Mo Wuji laid in ambush, not daring to make a move. A good half a day later, he could feel that the commotion outside had died down, so only then did he climb up by a few meters, before using his spiritual will to scan his surroundings. At this point, everything happening above ground was clearly seen by Mo Wuji. If he did not remember that he did closed door cultivation underground for over three months, he might have thought that a century had passed. The lightning lake, forest, and fog that were initially there had all disappeared completely. What replaced them was a barren wasteland, and only a small lightning lake continued to have some lightning bolts striking down above it. Seeing thousands of cultivators hacking away at the remaining trees, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. Were they going to destroy the Thunder Fog Forest? Those alien cultivators were indeed a brutish bunch, to actually use such forceful methods to search for people? From another perspective, they were using clumsy methods to clear the area. I can¡¯t go out now. Mo Wuji was immediately aware of his current situation. If he went out now, he would definitely be discovered. "Roar...Roar...Roar¡­" Waves of roaring sounds could be heard, followed by intense strikes and elemental energy explosions¡¯ sounds/ In a mere 10 breaths¡¯ time, a large black mass of demonic beasts came rushing out wildly. A giant muscular ape and a bald monk were locked in battle, and Mo Wuji quickly retracted his spiritual will. He had a feeling that the bald monk was even stronger than the short wintermelon. Half an incense¡¯s time later, sounds of a massacre spread to Mo Wuji¡¯s ears, which prompted him to extend his spiritual will out again. This time, Mo Wuji dared not observe the two experts¡¯ fight, instead focusing on the lower level cultivators. Thousands of low level cultivators were battling countless demonic beasts, causing a murderous aura to hang in the sky. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air. He knew that there were demonic beasts in Thunder Fog Forest, but he didn¡¯t expect there to be so many. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts leapt at the cultivators that destroyed their homeland, and each of them displayed all the skills they had on hand. Every moment there were demonic beasts and cultivators falling like flies. The monk that was battling the giant ape saw the situation around him, and shouted in panic, "Quickly request for reinforcements¡­" However, only half of his sentence left his mouth, as a murderous roar sounded out from a faraway place. It was obvious that while they were fighting the demonic beasts of Thunder Fog Forest, the Five Great Empire¡¯s cultivators had fully mobilised. "Idiot, didn¡¯t I tell you not to touch Thunder Fog Forest¡­" The bald monk shouted in anger, but it was very difficult for him to retreat now. Every attack the giant ape dished out was full of power. Once he backed off, he would likely be killed instantly by it. As Mo Wuji carried on observing the battle from underground, his heart was pounding really hard. In this sort of messy cultivator war, sometimes it didn¡¯t matter how strong you were, the chances of falling in battle was very high. The large scale battle lasted for a whole two hours, and had no signs of ending. At a faraway location, a bright light shot into the clouds. This caused the bald monk to panic even further, and he suddenly ripped the buddha beads off his neck, then hurled them at the giant ape. The giant ape responded with a roar of rage, at the same time opening his mouth to shoot out ten lightning bolts. Each lightning bolt met with a buddha bead, exploding in a burst of bright light. "Boom!" While the giant ape had counterattacked in time, a buddha bead still landed between his eyes. The giant ape let out a blood curdling scream, seemingly seeking out the bald monk to fight to the death. But just as this moment, the bald monk turned around and rushed out of Thunder Fog Forest. A murderous look appeared in the giant ape¡¯s eyes, as though as it knew that there were even more cultivators on the battlefield far away. In the end it dared not give chase, instead with a loud roar, it turned to escape into the depths of Thunder Fog Forest. Following the giant ape¡¯s roar, the big black mass of demonic beasts also retreated, vanishing completely in a short period of time. In his mind, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Since the battle had ended here, those guys should retreat soon. Once they left, he would have the chance to leave this accursed place. As expected, after the demonic beasts backed off, most of the alien cultivators charged out of Thunder Fog Forest. Obviously, they knew that there was an even larger battlefield awaiting them outside. However, before Mo Wuji had the time to relax, the soil above his head collapsed. Instinctively, he tried to avoid it, but to no avail. He was not standing with dirt on his face, facing the clear blue sky, and muttering to himself that he was screwed. "There¡¯s an earth brute here¡­" After Mo Wuji got revealed, he was immediately discovered by an alien cultivator. "Kill him!" Countless cultivators began charging at Mo Wuji. This made Mo Wuji panic. He quickly jumped out of the hole, and tried to escape deeper into Thunder Fog Forest. But after travelling a few hundred meters away, tens of cultivators blocked his way. There was no way out, and Mo Wuji stopped on the spot, both hands quickly forming hand seals, which released bolt after bolt of lightning. A while later, he was pleasantly surprised. He was standing over the lightning lake that he had tunneled into previously, and while the surroundings had been destroyed, there were still lightning arc flashing out of the lightning lake. Once he attacked on the lightning lake, and his lightning bolts landed on the lightning lake, they initiated the lightning essence within the lake to form even more lightning bolts which burst out at the enemy. "Crackle crackle crackle¡­" In a short half day¡¯s time, the area surrounding Mo Wuji had turned into a forest of lightning. The cultivators that encircled Mo Wuji immediately got surrounded by the lightning bolts. How could Mo Wuji had given up such a good opportunity? Lightning bolts were continuously released from his hands, and once he saw a severely injured cultivator, an additional lightning bolt would be sent in that direction without hesitation. Over a short period of time, the cultivators that were killed by Mo Wuji numbered in the tens. "This guy is at most at Transcending Mortality Stage, everyone attack!" Seeing that Mo Wuji fought so brutally, taking advantage of the lightning lake to kill that many cultivators so quickly, the ferocity in the alien cultivators were ignited. As much as he held the location advantage, the alien cultivators; numbers were simply too great. While a good part of them had left, there were still hundreds left behind. If they could not kill a single Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator, it would be a joke. No matter which direction Mo Wuji went in, he would be blocked by some alien cultivators. Eventually, he decided not to move anymore, and just kept firing off lightning bolts at them. He possessed spiritual will and the Revolving Star Passage Technique, so those fatal strikes could easily be avoided. On top of that, fighting in a lightning lake was to his advantage, hence as long as there were no cultivators of a higher stage than him, there was nothing for him to be afraid of either. The Tian Ji Pole had been taken out by him too. It was sent swinging in the direction of anyone that got slowed down by the incoming lightning bolts. "Everyone let¡¯s wear him down." Observing that Mo Wuji¡¯s area of movement had increased, an alien cultivator immediately shouted out. Two hours later, the alien cultivators surrounding Mo Wuji began to cool down their heads. While Mo Wuji was wounded all over, with bloodied wounds and even two large dents in his head, he was simply not exhausted. Not only was he not exhausted, but a couple of hundreds of cultivators had died in his hands. Although there were no Yuan Dan Stage cultivators among those that died, but the number of Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators was definitely not small. "This guy is not at Transcending Mortality Stage, he¡¯s at Yuan Dan Stage¡­" Once an alien cultivator declared that Mo Wuji was of Yuan Dan Stage, the remaining cultivators finally understood what was going on. How could a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator have such stamina for his elemental energy? When they understood this fact, most of the remaining alien cultivators left. Mo Wuji remained standing in the middle of the lightning lake, propped up with his Tian ji Pole, and spitting blood out non-stop. At this moment there was no visible part of his body that was unharmed; they were all drenched in blood. Even though he had two elemental storage channels, he was close to hitting his limit. Rays of sunlight broke through the fog and fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s battered body, creating the scene of a lonely figure standing amongst a sea of dead bodies. It seemed as though nature was reminding him what kind of path he had chosen. Chapter 194: Risking One’s Self To Save Others Chapter 194: Risking One¡¯s Self To Save Others Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Putting a few healing pills into his mouth, Mo Wuji limped out of the lightning lake. The cultivators he killed in the lightning lake were all noobs, they were at the most in the Transcending Mortality Stage. Most of them didn¡¯t even have storage bags so Mo Wuji really couldn¡¯t be bothered to spend his time and risk getting struck by lightning to collect his spoils of war. What he needed now was to get recovered, and not get rich. The moment he emerged from the lightning lake, Mo Wuji immediately sat down and started to recuperate his energy. This wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t wish to leave as soon as possible, but he was overdraft, and even if he departed now, he would not be able to get far. This patch of the Thunder Fog Forest had been razed to the ground, and it wouldn¡¯t be safe for him to loiter here for long. Wait till he managed to recover some energy, he would immediately get out of here, and take the risk to escape with his flying car. Half an incense of time later, as Mo Wuji was intending to stand up, he suddenly heard a slight crashing sound. He hastily ran to the side and strained to see what was happen. An ignited flame talisman came flying over; Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to take a step forward and dodge this flying talisman. "Hong!" The flame talisman exploded and Mo Wuji was struck by the spreading fire; his tattered clothes and his hair were all burnt. As he extinguished the fire on his body, Mo Wuji finally had a good look at the fella who sneak attacked him. This fella had a face as black as charcoal, it was blacker than his mask¡¯s black face, and his big mouth was panting heavily for air. This fella was clearly heavily injured; from the looks of it, he seemed to be struck by a demonic beast¡¯s wind blade on his chest and his legs. Seeing this fella staring at him with his mouth wide open, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to grab his Tian Ji Pole and swung it downwards. Even though the cultivator who ambushed Mo Wuji was immobilised, he still strained himself to lift his hand to block Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole. "Peng!" A profound sound could be heard as an immense energy sent both Mo Wuji and his pole flying. Mo Wuji was still in midair but he sent a bolt of Lightning Flash crashing towards that man. That cultivator was so heavily injured but he was still easily able to send Mo Wuji flying, his cultivation must at least be in the late levels of the Yuan Dan Stage. Mo Wuji¡¯s skill came flying over, and the surrounding air started to get distorted. This black faced cultivator¡¯s eyes revealed an expression of despair. He was not able to move, and no matter how impressive he was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to defend against Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash. Moreover, when he sent Mo Wuji flying, his arm did not manage to avoid the strike by Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole, and was ripped apart. "Hong!" The lightning exploded and drilled a blood hole in this black faced cultivator¡¯s chest. Mo Wuji walked over to the cultivator¡¯s corpse with some lingering fear, and collected the storage bag. Swallowing two healing pills, Mo Wuji decided that this was the time to leave. "Hong!" The clash of two bouts of elemental energy could be heard. Mo Wuji did not even have the time to react before a figure came crashing over. Mo Wuji hastily dodged to the side and was prepared to give this person a taste of his Lightning Flash. However, the moment he saw that person¡¯s face, he immediately gave up on that idea. He recognised this person, this person wasn¡¯t pouncing towards him; she was Yan¡¯Er¡¯s senior apprentice sister, the Pill Pagoda¡¯a Shi Jinwen. Shi Jinwen clearly wasn¡¯t targeting him, but was sent flying over by her opponent. As expected, before Shi Jinwen could even land on the ground, a figure came rushing towards her. It was a hooked nose man; he was definitely an alien cultivator. Mo Wuji had battled with more than hundreds of alien cultivators and had developed a rough understanding towards the alien cultivators. The alien cultivators¡¯ cultivation method seemed to be different from here. When they attacked, there was a clear difference in their spirituality flow. The hooked nose man¡¯s power was ostensibly inferior to that short wintermelon and the coffin man, but his attacks were much stronger than those alien cultivators he dealt with. When he was pouncing towards Shi Jinwen, the flow of spirituality around his body was more pronounced. As this alien cultivator¡¯s magic treasure was about to trap Shi Jinwen, Shi Jinwen had already steadied her footings and lifted a pill cauldron. The pill cauldron clashed against the hooked nose man¡¯s magic treasure, sending waves of elemental energy which filled the sky. When the two battled, it was like a huge plow was being dragged across the land; it was incomparably messy. This is not a battle I can poke my nose in, hurry and go. As Mo Wuji was prepared to leave, he heard Yan¡¯Er¡¯s voice. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart went into a fluster as he saw Yan¡¯Er and two other ladies charging over. Mo Wuji was already in the Transcending Mortality Stage and he could tell that all three of were in the same stage with a single glance. With their level, any attempts to help Shi Jinwen would be futile. Seeing Yan¡¯Er rush over, the expression on Shi Jinwen¡¯s face changed drastically. Mo Wuji, who was originally intending to bolt, gave up on that idea and charged towards Yan¡¯Er. As long as that hook nose wasn¡¯t an idiot, he could definitely ascertain that Yan¡¯Er and Shi Jinwen did not have a merely ordinary relationship. If he was that hook nose, he would not hesitate to sneak an attack on Yan¡¯Er and destroy her. Yan¡¯Er¡¯s and that hook nose¡¯s cultivation were as different as heaven and earth; that hook nose only needed to lift his pinky and Yan¡¯Er would definitely be killed. He would not be doing much, but Shi Jinwen would definitely be heavily impacted. Yan¡¯Er was clearly lacking in battle prowess; her intentions to help Shi Jinwen were understandable but with her power, on the premise that she wasn¡¯t able to use any ranged attacks, she was truly unable to help Shi Jinwen. Mo Wuji¡¯s estimations was truly without error; at almost the instant Yan¡¯Er appeared, a beam of black light shot towards her. At this moment, Yan¡¯Er was like Mo Wuji when he encountered Mo Wuji. The surrounding space around her was locked in place, and her movements became exaggeratedly slow. Even if Shi Jinwen wanted to save Yan¡¯Er, she wouldn¡¯t be able to do it in time. In her indignance, Shi Jinwen hurled her pill cauldron towards the hook nose with all her strength. At the same time, she grabbed some pills which she sent booming towards hook nose. Using pills to attack the enemy, this was something Mo Wuji had never seen before. However, at this time, he was not able to split his concentration to examine how the pills could attack the enemy. At the instant the black light reached, Mo Wuji had also arrived by Yan¡¯Er¡¯s side. He immediately pulled Yan¡¯Er away, and at the same time, swung the Tian Ji Pole towards the black light. "Hong!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole was sent flying while that black light exploded into a finer trail of light. Its trajectory was only shifted slightly as it shot through Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. This black light was originally going to perforate through Yan¡¯Er¡¯s throat but Mo Wuji had arrived just in time to pull Yan¡¯Er away. Since Mo Wuji was taller than Yan¡¯Er that black light did not hit his throat but only pierced through his chest. The burning sensation from the attack instantly spread throughout Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body. Mo Wuji felt as though his entire body was dipped in boiling water, and his entire body was charred with hints of red. A minute blood hole appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. No blood gushed out from that injury, but instead, there was a slight fog. "Peng!" Mo Wuji shot through the air and crashed against a huge rock. The entire process happened in an instant. It was only when Mo Wuji was sent flying that Yan¡¯Er came to the sudden realisation that she would have lost her life if no one risked his life to save her. Seeing that Mo Wuji had risked his life to save Yan¡¯Er, that hook nose knew that he wouldn¡¯t have another chance. With that failed sneak attack, the tables between him and Shi Jinwen had turned. "I have some healing pill¡­" Yan¡¯Er finally reacted; she hurriedly ran to Mo Wuji¡¯s side and handed some pills to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved his hands as he struggled to take a few pills from his bag. Yan¡¯Er¡¯s healing pills could not compare to his, so naturally he would eat his own pills. "Move to the side¡­" Mo Wuji spoke with a hoarse voice as he struggled to stand up. He felt as though all the blood in his body had dried up. Shi Jinwen saw that Yan¡¯Er was fine and started to attack that hook nose with even greater madness and fervour. Mo Wuji staggered over to his Tian Ji Pole and picked it up. He did not leave; that hook nose tried to kill Yan¡¯Er, and even added injuries to his plethora of injuries. If he did not shift that black light¡¯s trajectory slightly, it would have pierced through his heart, and he would have lost his little life. If he didn¡¯t attempt to take revenge, it would not really sit well in his heart. "Honghonghong!" That hook nose¡¯s power might be a little stronger than Shi Jinwen, but there was a limit to that difference. The two battled fiercely. Sand flew, rocks scattered. Their battlefield was a complete mess. At this moment, Yan¡¯Er and those two ladies couldn¡¯t even stand straight and see the two¡¯s battle, much less help Shi Jinwen out. On the other hand, Mo Wuji could clearly see the changing attacks and defenses of the two. Mo Wuji really appreciated Shi Jinwen¡¯s fighting style. Fighting was irrespective of cultivation or power. It was about exerting your utmost best and pitting your life. Shi Jinwen was doing just that. At this moment, Shi Jinwen¡¯s entire body was riddled with wounds. Two blood holes had nearly pierced through her heart and her throat. Still, her methods did not tone down, but became increasingly crazed. The hook nose wasn¡¯t anywhere better. With some unknown method, Shi Jinwen actually managed to tear apart half of his neck, and his meat was a tangled mess. There was also a huge hole on the left side of his waist which was constantly leaking fresh blood. Even though the two were still fighting desperately, Mo Wuji could tell that the two¡¯s battle would end soon. The final outcome would most likely be Shi Jinwen¡¯s demise while that hook nose ended up heavily injured. Mo Wuji subconsciously took a few steps forward. With his spiritual will, he could see that the hook nose had taken out a huge net. Was this fella trying to trap Shi Jinwen? Shi Jinwen would immediately lose the upper hand and end up at a disadvantage. However, Mo Wuji did not think that she would be that stupid to fall for that trap. As expected, when that huge net was thrown, Shi Jinwen¡¯s pill cauldron was thrown out. The net trapped the pill cauldron but was unable to confine Shi Jinwen. At the same time, Shi Jinwen threw out a few pills. Countering Shi Jinwen¡¯s pills were the hook nose¡¯s beams of black light. Two pills exploded against the hook nose¡¯s body. Mo Wuji saw two clumps of blood light exploded from the hook nose¡¯s body. At the same time, Shi Jinwen¡¯s body had an additional two blood holes formed from the two beams of black light. Shi Jinwen seemed to have gone crazy. With no heed of the injuries on her body, she pounced towards hook nose and formed some hand seals. An inundating elemental energy same surging out. Hook nose could not help but take a step back and put in all his energy to deal with Shi Jinwen¡¯s final crazy strike. At this moment, Mo Wuji lifted the Tian Ji Pole and threw it towards hook nose¡¯s back. Hook nose laughed coldly, a little ant dared to sneak attack him. Even if he was fully engaged in his battle with Shi Jinwen, he was not someone an ant could plot against. His body was like a spring as he twisted and contorted his body. Ostensibly, according to the trajectory of Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole, it would not hit him. The hook nose increased his speed, he wanted to force Shi Jinwen away before poking five holes into Mo Wuji''s brain. Shi Jinwen¡¯s attack had reached its peak, there was nothing left for him to worry. But that hook nose could not laugh coldly any further. A terrifying electroball came flying towards the blood hole at his waist. Just now, Shi Jinwen had caused a huge disturbance in space with her elemental energy that he actually didn''t see this electroball sneaking to his side. Chapter 195: Work Hard To Live Chapter 195: Work Hard To Live Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Boom!" The electroball exploded; blood splattered. The hook nosed man cried out mournfully as he lost the ability to defend against Shi Jinwen¡¯s raging waves of elemental energy. Shi Jinwen also knew that her power had reached its peak, and that was the best she could do. She just hoped to heavily injure hook nose and give Yan¡¯Er and co. a chance to escape. Little would she expect that hook nose would suddenly be attacked by Mo Wuji, giving him no chance to deal with her attack. Her elemental energy unreservedly surged towards hook nose. Even after it landed, she was still staring at Mo Wuji in shock as she wondered how his sneak attack managed to get through. Without any obstacles or set-up defenses, Shi Jinwen¡¯s attack was no longer going to simply heavily injure hook nose, but fatally strike him. At the instant hook nose¡¯s waist was struck with Mo Wuji¡¯s electroball, his internal organs were also torn apart by Shi Jinwen¡¯s waves of elemental energy. Mo Wuji would not waste such an opportunity as he grabbed his Tian Ji Pole and swung it downwards. "Pu! Ka¡­" A teeth shaking sound could be heard; the hook nose¡¯s brain was crushed into meat juice with Mo Wuji¡¯s pole. Mo Wuji slowly exhaled a breath of air as he turned and dragged his Tian Ji Pole behind him. Not far away, the heavily injured Shi Jinwen stared blankly at the hook nose¡¯s falling corpse then at the turning Mo Wuji. She was momentarily at a loss for words. "Remember to cultivate properly and work hard to live." Mo Wuji also stood in front of Yan¡¯Er in a daze before he entrusted her with that simple sentence. Thereafter, he turned and slowly walked far away. His voice was hoarse and husky, he was like a nomad travelling in the desert who had not seen water for a long time. After brushing shoulders with death countless of times, Mo Wuji truly understood that living wasn¡¯t easy. That hook nose¡¯s storage bag, he¡¯ll just leave it behind for Yan¡¯Er. "Who is he?" It was only after Mo Wuji¡¯s figure disappeared in the distance that the green robed lady beside Yan¡¯Er asked this question. "I¡­ don¡¯t recognise him ah¡­" Yan¡¯Er was at a loss for what to say. Up till now, she did not understand why Mo Wuji would risk his life to save her. Furthermore, he even asked her to cultivate properly and work hard to live before he left. In her memory, she had never befriended a black-faced monk. Unless this man was from her forgotten past? Didn¡¯t master tell her that everyone she knew were all mortals? How could she have known such an expert? "You don¡¯t know him but he sacrificed himself to save you?" The other purple robed lady asked. "Yan¡¯Er¡­" Shi Jinwen swallowed some pills and called out loud. "Ah, senior apprentice sister, are you alright?" Yan¡¯Er finally came to her senses, she immediately ran over to help pick Shi Jinwen up. Shi Jinwen looked towards the direction Mo Wuji disappeared in and asked doubtfully, "Yan¡¯Er, you know him?" Yan¡¯Er shook her head. She really didn¡¯t know this scar faced, blood covered, wound riddled, black faced monk. "Holy sh*t¡­" That green robed lady suddenly cried in shock. The three others simultaneously shifted their gazes over, wondering what she was calling out for. The green robed lady pointed at the hundreds of corpses lying within and around the lightning, trembling as she said, "He couldn¡¯t have possibly killed all of them by himself right?" The four suddenly went silent. It was only after some time that the purple robed lady spoke, "It must him. His entire body is covered in blood, with no skin left uncovered. There are also lightning scars all over his head and body, clearly he just emerged from that lightning lake¡­" "I know who he is, he is that Rogue Cultivator 2705. No wonder why he¡¯s ranking is so high, he¡¯s really strong ah¡­" The green robed lady finally reacted and said loudly in astonishment. ... Perhaps it was because of the clash with the Thunder Fog Forest¡¯s demonic beasts, or perhaps it was due to some other reason. The alien cultivators lost devastatingly in this Thunder Fog Forest War. The alien cultivators gave up on their encampments within the Thunder Fog Forest and started to retreat. ... Yan City Immortal Jade House. This wasn¡¯t only the number one hotel in Yan City, it was also the number one hotel in the entire Tian Shang Empire. Not only was the environment pleasant, the spiritual energy was dense and rich and it¡¯s horizons was wide and spacious. From the Yan City Immortal Jade House, one can easily see the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s contribution points ranking on the Yan City Plaza. Additionally, the Yan City Immortal Jade House had a specialised transaction hall. During the war between the Five Great Empires and the alien cultivators, there were naturally many spoils of war. A portion of cultivators would trade these away at the marketplace, but there were some who would also go the the Yan City Immortal Jade House. Recently, the alien cultivators had withdrawn from the Thunder Fog Forest and regrouped with the alien cultivators within the Tian Shang Empire. Naturally, the Five Great Empire¡¯s cultivators rushed to the Yan City encampment. This caused Yan City to burst with activity, and Yan City Immortal Jade House also became more lively. To attract more people, the Immortal Jade House directly changed all ten of its floors into teahouses. Here, people could chat and talk while drinking tea. At the same time, they could engage in simple trade without needing to visit the transaction hall. More and more cultivators liked to visit the Immortal Jade House. Here, they could talk carefreely and drink to their heart¡¯s content. Besides the war with the alien cultivators, the hottest topic of discussion was the contribution points ranking shown on the Yan City Plaza. The topic of greatest discussion wasn¡¯t the Rank 1 Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Xi Yixuan, nor was it the Rank 2 and 3 Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Feng Luoqiu and Gou Zihan, but the anonymous rogue cultivator, Rogue Cultivator 2705. In half a year, Rogue Cultivator 2705, this black horse, catapulted straight into the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s contribution points rankins. Not only that, he even charged straight up to Rank 10. Over the past few months, Rogue Cultivator 2705 soundlessly disappeared as he got overtaken by genius after genius. Many people even began to suspect that this Rogue Cultivator 2705 met with some great luck and managed to kill an expert at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. That¡¯s how he got 9000 points at one go. It was like this till two months ago when Rogue Cultivator 2705 soared back to fame. At one go, his points jumped by over 3000. With a total number of contribution points of 12076, he charged up to the top 6. The Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Point Board refreshed to reflect this new results. Seeing Rogue Cultivator 2705 at Rank 6 with 12076 points, the number of people who attributed his points to luck gradually lessened. Luck might work once, but it wouldn¡¯t always be so good. Furthermore, this time around, many clearly saw how the points rose. It wasn¡¯t a simple jump of 3000, but a gradual increase of points. According to a shop assistant from the Immortal Jade House, he was standing right in front of the board at Yan City Plaza on that fateful day. He personally saw Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s contribution points rising gradually. Within two hours, it refreshed more than a hundred times. The cultivators who were sitting near the window were also discussing about Rogue Cultivator 2705. When one of them mentioned the words of that shop assistant, another cultivator immediately chided, "That¡¯s impossible. I can believe that the points changed for more than a hundred times. After all, points were the cumulation of the constant killing of alien cultivators. But you say that the points changed a hundred times within two hours? Forgive me for not believing you, but your words are simply too absurd." "Why is it impossible?" The cultivator who relayed the shop assistant¡¯s story was a little discontented. The other cultivator¡¯s words made him seem like he was speaking blindly. The disbelieving cultivator said plainly, "Think about it. If the points kept changing more than a hundred times within two hours, what would it mean? It would mean the Rogue Cultivator 2705 had been surrounded by hundreds of alien cultivators. Facing the siege of hundreds of cultivators, he did not kill all of them at one go, but killed each of the alien cultivators one at a time, what would it mean then? It shows that this rogue cultivator¡¯s power isn¡¯t high. A rogue cultivator with a low cultivation, encircled by hundreds of alien cultivators. Not only wasn¡¯t he killed, he slashed them down slowly one at a time. Is that possible? Unless you¡¯re telling me that his opponents are all pigs at an abattoir, waiting to get slaughtered?" The relaying cultivator was stunned by these barrage of questions, and he stuttered, "Hearing your explanations, it doesn¡¯t really seem possible." "Why is it impossible? I can confirm that it¡¯s true. I can also confirm that Rogue Cultivator 2705 has yet to advance into the Earth Realm." A clear, crisp voice said with a hint of dissatisfaction. That voice was a little too loud and it immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The one speaking was a lady in a green skirt. She saw the crowds converging their attention on her, and she continued to speak loudly, "I personally saw the aftermath of his battle. The entire area was surrounded with the corpses of alien cultivators, while he was also heavily injured. Still, he even helped my Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda¡¯s Senior Jinwen to kill an expert at the Great Circle of the True Lake Stage." The green skirted lady was exactly one of the two ladies with Yan¡¯Er. She had always believed that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705. "Who¡¯s to know that what you¡¯re saying is true? Many people claim that they know 2705 but those claims turned out to be false." Someone spoke out among the crowd. Rogue Cultivator 2705 wasn¡¯t the only person with such an illustrious reputation, any cultivator who could enter the top 100 was a proud child of heavens. Each and every one of these cultivators had an immense popularity in Yan City. If they entered the Immortal Jade House, the Immortal Jade House would not accept any fees and would even feel proud. Rogue Cultivator 2705 was in Rank 6, naturally, he was in the Five Great Empire¡¯s hall of fame. If an average sect head were to meet him, the sect head would still need to pause and say hello. To be personally acquainted with this kind of genius was akin to sticking gold on your face. Thus, many people wanted to acquaint themselves with the geniuses on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Point Board. But a majority of these geniuses already had an established reputation with a well-known name. Only Rogue Cultivator 2705 was anonymous and unknown. It was because of this, that many people claimed that they knew Rogue Cultivator 2705. "I am the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate¡¯s inner disciple, Xue Tongsi. When the incident happened, I was not the only one present; Senior Jinwen was also there. Moreover, Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s number one genius, Yan¡¯Er, and the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s junior Ling Yizhen were also there. Rogue Cultivator 2705 even risked his life to save Yan¡¯Er. Would I need to lie about such things?" The green skirted lady¡¯s face swelled till it looked a little ugly. When they linked her to those imposters who claimed that they knew 2705, she could not help but be angry. "This senior is indeed a Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s inner disciple, she wouldn¡¯t lie." Someone among the crowd recognised Xue Tongsi. "Senior Xue, how did this Rogue Cultivator 2705 look like?" Another person among the crowd asked. Chapter 196: You’re Right Chapter 196: You¡¯re Right Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Xue Tongsi hesitated for awhile before speaking, "His skin colour was dark, his face had a scar on it, and he dressed like a monk¡­ When I saw him, his body was full of wounds, seemingly without any part unharmed. To save Yan¡¯Er, he even got his right chest pierced through by the alien True Lake Stage expert¡­" The reason behind his hesitation was that Xue Tongsi was not sure that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t Rogue Cultivator 2705. After all, this was just speculation on her part. Regardless whether that was true, after hearing Xue Tongsi¡¯s words, a sense of respect arose within all the ten floors of cultivators. After hearing Xue Tongsi¡¯s words, an image of the situation then appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. They could only imagine how a rogue cultivator had obtained so many points through actual life and death battles, not through some critical hits on the enemy. "I believe that he must have put his life on the line to obtain that many points...." Xue Tongsi added this last sentence, which cemented the respect everyone had towards Rogue Cultivator 2705. "To obtain points by putting one¡¯s life on the line, I, Liu Man, have a lot to learn from him." A good while later, a muscular man then said passionately. "That¡¯s right, I chose the path of cultivating. Since there¡¯s alien cultivators invading my home, if I don¡¯t put my life on the line, what justification do I have to stay on this land to cultivate? If a rogue cultivator can do this much, why can¡¯t the disciples of various sects do that same?" "I share the same sentiments. That rogue cultivator can save people, risk his life to kill alien cultivators. I am ashamed of myself." "If he really is a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator, I believe that the Rogue Cultivator 2705 is even more respectable. As compared to the rank 1 senior Xi Yixuan, rank 2 and rank 3 seniors Feng Luojian and Gou Zihan, he his much more hot-blooded." ¡­ A pale faced scholar sat at a corner on the 10th floor, and was rather shocked after hearing the discussion of the crowd. He never imagined that he would be propelled to such fame, and since the moment he entered Yan City, all he could hear was discussions about Rogue Cultivator 2705. The pale faced scholar was Mo Wuji. After leaving Thunder Fog Forest, he took a month of recuperation to recover fully. He did not want to interact with Senior Jinwen, hence he changed his appearance from a monk¡¯s to a scholar¡¯s. In his heart, he was rather amazed with Xue Tongsi for being able to guess that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. The reason for Mo Wuji¡¯s visit to this place was not to get more contribution points, but instead, it was because his cultivation level could not progress any further since his wounds had recovered. After a month of continuous closed door cultivation, he remained at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1. Even if he used Heaven grade spirit stones now, it would not help his cultivation level to improve a single bit. Since his cultivation was paused, Mo Wuji believed that this was due to something wrong his cultivation technique. The Immortal Mortal Technique probably could not continue to increase his cultivation level beyond the Transcending Mortality Stage. Another issue was that he did not know much about the Transcending Mortality Stage too. Thus, Mo Wuji wanted to use his contribution points to exchange for a cultivation technique in Yan City. It should not have been a problem to find a cultivation technique to continue on from the Immortal Mortal Technique within the Hundred Sect Alliance which comprised of tens of thousands of sects. "Mr Hou, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, my Lei Clan will not let you go¡­" A flurry of footsteps broke the discussion about Rogue Cultivator 2705. Following which, five to sex people burst out, led by a man with a head of messy hair, and some blood stains on the corner of his mouth. Behind him were five young cultivators, which included one female. The five of them encircled the youth in front of them, and a look of hopelessness appeared in his eyes. He knew that there was no escape for him. From one side, Mo Wuji observed the young man, feeling that he looked a little familiar. Seeing that most of the cultivators in the ten storied hall was storing at them, the six people that rushed in bowed respectfully, "Everyone, I am Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s Lei Chenghe. This guy''s Hou Yucheng. Back in the Thunder Fog Forest when we were escaping after sustaining injuries in the battle with the alien cultivators, my Lei Clan saw that the Five Great Empire¡¯s people were injured from battle, and fought bravely to save them. But who would have known that this guy was a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. After his wounds were healed, he raped Lei Clan¡¯s Yanji¡¯s fiancee, Xiujie¡­" "Lei Yanjie? Isn¡¯t that the number one genius disciple of Great Evolution Sect? The Lei Yanjie with Supreme Lightning Spiritual Roots?" A man from the crowd exclaimed. Lei Chenghe bowed respectfully once again, "That¡¯s right, Yanjie had the good fortune of entering Great Evolution Sect, and within the sect, he is already one of the ten great legacy disciples." Once Mo Wuji heard that this cultivator was Hou Yucheng, he suddenly understood what was going on. No wonder this guy looked familiar to him, so it was Hou Yucheng. He also understood why Hou Yucheng could not use the sect to oppose Yu Lin¡¯s Lei Clan: as the Lei Clan had a Lei Yanjie who entered the Great Evolution Sect, and was one of the ten great legacy disciples in it. While Hou Yucheng was an inner disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, but an inner disciple could only do that much. After all, he bought his position with a Flower of the True Gods, and did not fulfil that requirements of an inner disciple in the first place. Keeping his lips tightly closed, Hou Yucheng did not bother replying with a single word. Or you could say that nothing he said would have any use. Seeing that the crowd gave a look of reverence, Lei Chenghe carried on even louder, "This guy repaid kindness with vengeance. After raping Xiujie, he killed her brutally to shut her up. On top of that, as Xiujie¡¯s mother and elder sister were witnesses to what he had done, he killed the both of them too. To kill again...such acts¡­will enrage both man and god¡­" At this point, most of the cultivators around were riled up due to their sense of justice. What Hou Yucheng did was beyond wicked. Cultivators were always very clear about kindness and vengeance, and very few would do such acts of betrayal. Lei Chenghe did not stop there, as he added on with more fury, "I only discovered after the incident, that he was originally a demon from the Sky Demon Sect. I don¡¯t need much help from everyone here today, but I hope that you will block this rascal off when he tries to run away." "Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t allow this sort of b*stard to escape even if brother Lei did not say anything." Some people from the crowd immediately responded. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows. While he did not completely know Hou Yucheng¡¯s character, but there was one thing that he was sure of: Hou Yucheng definitely was not a rapist and murderer, much less do such things to his benefactor. Why would a handsome and dashing man like Hou Yucheng do such a preposterous act? He was not short of women. The Yu Lin¡¯s Lei Clan was no stranger for Mo Wuji. Back at the auction, he had fought for the Seven Styles Sky Lightning with them. The guy back then was a man named Lei Mang, and from his tone during the auction, Mo Wuji knew that this was not a good guy. This Lei Chenghe probably was a bird of the same feather from the Lei Clan too. Hou Yucheng suddenly burst out laughing, and peeled away his mask to reveal his handsome face, "This is not the first time that the Lei Clan is bullying others. The Lei Clan rescue me, Hou Yucheng? My ass! You know for yourself why your Lei Clan is framing me. I have done nothing against my conscience, and even if the Lei Clan kills me today, I have brothers who will seek revenge on my behalf." "Mr Hou, don¡¯t try to give yourself a better name. You must have many friends in the Sky Demon City outside of Sky Demon Sect. Why haven¡¯t a single one of them spoken up for you yet? Let me tell you why. Because the things that you¡¯ve done are extremely inhumane, and even people from your sect can¡¯t look beyond it¡­" After finishing his sentence, Lei Chenghe waved his hand, "Go, take this man before the grave of Xiujie and sacrifice him¡­" This was the moment that he chose to strike, as Lei Chenghe thought that he had said enough, and continuing on would just serve to ruin the perfect scenario before him. Without another word, a fan appeared in the hand Hou Yucheng. Even if he knew that he was outmatched, he still had to put up a fight. "I¡¯ll like to see who dares to make a move!" A voice filled with killing intent rang out. All of the people turned their gazes to the source of the voice, as the pale scholar stood up. The initially frightened Lei Chenghe calmed down after seeing that there was no spirituality from Mo Wuji, and said, "Whoever dares obstruct the revenge of Yu Lin¡¯s Lei Clan will die. Even a small ant dares to speak up for this demon, you must be tired of living. Do you think that you¡¯re Rogue Cultivator 2705? Kill him¡­" The moment the last word left Lei Chenghe¡¯s mouth, a green dragon saber flew out. Mo Wuji calmly looked at Lei Chenghe and said, "You¡¯re right, I¡¯m Rogue Cultivator 2705." Chapter 197: Da Shixiong! (Big Senior Apprentice Brother) Chapter 197: Da Shixiong! (Big Senior Apprentice Brother) Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji analysed the situation; if he chose to enter alone, based on his and Hou Yucheng¡¯s power, it would be hard to break through the encirclement of so many people. Perhaps, only through revealing his identity would he have the chance to save Hou Yucheng. The entire ten floors turned silent for a brief moment before a flurry of discussion filled the hall. No one had met Rogue Cultivator 2705 before but not anyone could simply impersonate him. After all, it would be immediately discovered if the impersonator wasn¡¯t able to take out any evidence. With so much reverence towards Rogue Cultivator 2705, anyone who dared to impersonate him was simply looking for death. Unless it was an idiot, no one would be willing to impersonate Rogue Cultivator 2705 under this kind of conditions. Anyone who was able to drink in this teahouse definitely wasn¡¯t an idiot. Thus, when Mo Wuji declared that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705, although no one believed him completely, they did not have much doubts. Lei Chenghe instantly realised that it was highly possible that Mo Wuji was not an imposter; the Green Dragon Saber in his hand shone with saber light as he shouted, "Imposter! Kill him!" Before the four others from the Lei Clan could do anything, a beam of bright light lacerated through the air, blocking the Green Dragon Saber¡¯s saber light. Charging along with this light beam was a green skirted lady; it was the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Xue Tongsi. "Who are you? You¡¯re going to protect them? I¡¯m Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s¡­" Lei Chenghe did not recognise Xue Tongsi, but Xue Tongsi was able to block his saber light with a simple beam of light, dispersing his elemental energy. Clearly, her cultivation was no lower than his. Xue Tongsi directly interrupted Lei Chenghe¡¯s words as she said coldly, "Just a Yu Lin Lei Clan, don¡¯t think you¡¯re big enough to cover the sky and spout your Yu Lin Lei Clan name. If you disagree with me, then you can go to the the Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate and find me, Xue Tongsi." When Lei Chenghe heard that Xue Tongsi was a Heaven Seeking Palace Dao Gate¡¯s disciple, he instantly did not dare continue to act arrogantly. Hou Yucheng was also an inner disciple in the Heaven Seeking Palace, but Hou Yucheng¡¯s position did not count for much. Moreover, he was standing on the moral high ground, so even if he killed Hou Yucheng, the Heaven Seeking Palace would not demand for the Great Evolution Sect to be held accountable. After all, Hou Yucheng¡¯s crime was raping and killing the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s number genius, Lei Hongji¡¯s fiancee. "The Heaven Seeking Palace is one of the best dao holylands in the Five Great Empires. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to ignore this reputation just for a brute?" Even though he did not dare strike out again, Lei Chenghe did not intend to let the matter rest. Xue Tongsi laughed coldly and she said in a clear, refreshing tone, "Number 1, the Heaven Seeking Palace is the number one dao holyland in the entire Five Great Empires, it¡¯s not simply one of the best. Next time, before your Yu Lin Lei Clan speaks, you better remember to wash your mouth clean and don¡¯t pollute the air with your disgusting words. Number 2, whether or not he is a brute is not up to you to decide." Lei Chenghe¡¯s face changed multiple times within that short instant. Everyone knew what he was implying; in his eyes, the Great Evolution Sect and the Heaven Seeking Palace were comparable existences. To think that someone from the Heaven Seeking Palace would flat out reject his words. In reality, in all these years, the Heaven Seeking Palace is indeed the number one dao holyland. No other sect would dare say that they¡¯re better than the Heaven Seeking Palace. The reason why Lei Chenghe had the balls to say that it was one of the best was because the Great Evolution Sect was temporarily Rank 1 in the Contribution Point Board. "Dao friend Xue, what do you mean? Are you saying that I¡¯m lying?" Lei Chenghe¡¯s tone immediately became serious. Without waiting for Xue Tongsi to speak, Mo Wuji chuckled by the side, "Lei fella, you know in your heart whether you¡¯re lying or not. You claim that you¡¯re speaking on behalf of the Yu Lin Lei Clan, but why would such a scandalous matter of Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s woman being raped be announced in front of such a loud crowd?" Mo Wuji directly stopped Lei Chenghe, who was trying to explain himself, as he continued, "Don¡¯t say it¡¯s because you want everyone to understand why you¡¯re pursuing Dao Friend Hou. Because when I hear this reason, this old man here simply wants to puke. If I¡¯m not wrong, you should be jealous of that Lei Hongji, right? On the surface, you act like you¡¯re helping him. But in reality, you¡¯re throwing sh*t up his head. Oh that¡¯s right, your Lei Clan are filled with useless sh*t. It¡¯s normal to see you Lei dogs bite one another." Mo Wuji did not have a high opinion of the Yu Lin Lei Clan. He suspected that Lei Chenghe was pursuing Hou Yucheng because Hou Yucheng had something good in his hands. With this, Lei Chenghe could spoil Lei Hongji¡¯s reputation and obtain some benefits from Hou Yucheng. "You¡¯re talking sh*t¡­" Lei Chengfu was infuriated. Unfortunately, with Xue Tongsi blocking his way, he did not have any ways to deal with Mo Wuji. Xue Tongsi did not even care about Lei Chenghe¡¯s anger, she clasped her fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Dao friend, you claim that you¡¯re Rogue Cultivator 2705, but do you have any proof?" The reason why she was so polite was because she felt that Mo Wuji looked a little similar to that black faced monk. Mo Wuji fetched his jade token and said, "This is my contribution point jade token. If you don¡¯t trust me, you can have a closer look." Any cultivator who could stand here was an elite; their cultivations naturally weren¡¯t low. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token was small, the moment he took it out, all of these cultivators could clearly see what was on it. "Rogue Cultivator 2705, Contribution Points: 12076, Rank: 6" The contribution point jade token brought a slight luster which integrated into the surrounding naturally. This showed that this contribution point jade token was a genuine jade token. This would mean that the scholar in front of all of them was indeed 2705. "So brother is truly Rogue Cultivator 2705. Please accept my, Hou Yucheng¡¯s, greetings." Seeing that the person who helped him was his idol, Rogue Cultivator 2705, Hou Yucheng¡¯s was pleasantly surprised, and immediately bowed in courtesy. In his eyes, Rogue Cultivator 2705 was much stronger than these Lei Clan dogs in front of him. A rogue cultivator only had himself to depend upon, but he managed to charge up to the top 6 of the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s contribution point rankings. This wasn¡¯t luck, but true ability and resilience. "Greetings Senior 2705¡­" "Senior, you have always been my role model. Seeing senior today, I can see that you¡¯re truly a dragon among men¡­" "Senior 2705, I represent my Golden Crow Sect to formally invite senior to join our sect¡­" "May I ask how do we address senior?" ¡­ After verifying that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705, the Lei Clan people were cast aside as the crowd went forward to greet Mo Wuji. If it was possible, some of this people would love to take photographs with Mo Wuji, or even ask for his autograph. Only Xue Tongsi looked a little desolate; she really hoped for 2705 to be that black faced monk. Unfortunately, this fella had took out his contribution point token, but clearly this person wasn¡¯t that black faced monk. Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "Thank you various dao friends for your support. I¡¯m Ming Xinghe, dao friends can directly call me Xinghe. I met Dao Friend Hou several times before, Dao Friend Hou is compassionate and warm hearted, magnanimous and broad minded, how could he be the brute as those people said? Let¡¯s look from a different perspective, everyone take a look at the Lei Chenghe fella¡¯s face, then back as Dao Friend Hou. It¡¯s clear who is the rapist is." Mo Wuji still have many enemies, like that Jin Yu and Honest Qi, who were hunting him down. Thus, Mo Wuji could not casually reveal his name and origins. "Ha Ha¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s words induced laughter in all ten floors of the teahouse. Lei Chenghe¡¯s appearance could not be considered disgustingly bad, but when compared to Hou Yucheng, it was simply horrendous. Even though the story could not be judged based on looks alone, it had to depend on who was the one speaking. It was Rogue Cultivator 2705 after all. A vagabond who fought hard for his homeland against the alien cultivators by himself; the role model for countless of other rogue cultivators and sects. His words naturally carried much weight. Lei Chenghe¡¯s entire body was trembling, his face swelled in anger but he didn¡¯t dare do anything. The situation had been completely upended by Mo Wuji; now, it wasn¡¯t the five Lei Clan members against the two, Mo WUji and Hou Yucheng, but the five against the entire Immortal Jade House. "Let¡¯s go." Seeing that Hou Yucheng could not be killed, Lei Chenghe directed his four clan members as he turned and left. Hou Yucheng inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. He was incredibly grateful towards Mo Wuji. If not for this Rogue Cultivator 2705, he would have been brought away by Lei Chenghe and died a painful death. Mo Wuji flicked his wrist and a steel pole appeared in his hands, "You framed Dao Friend Hou, and you even intended to kill him to steal his fortune. Now that your ruse has been exposed, do you think you just leave like that? Since when was there such a good thing in life?" If it was the newly transmigrated Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have pushed the matter further and let Lei Chenghe leave. But now, Mo Wuji had learnt of an important life lesson; here, no one would think that you were being polite or saving trouble, they would only think that you¡¯re a coward. Seeing the steel pole in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, a flash of light streaked across Hou Yucheng¡¯s eyes and his face was instantly filled with colour. He finally understood why this Rogue Cultivator 2705 would stand up for him, turns out 2705 was Mo Wuji. He had always known that Mo Wuji was far from ordinary, but he never expected that in a short one to two years, Mo Wuji had actually become such an expert. All this was secondary, the most important thing was that he had made a right judgement of Mo Wuji, he had truly befriended the right person. "It¡¯s really you." Xue Tongsi¡¯s eyes also shone with radiance, "Senior Xinghe, have we met before? Were you the one who risked your life to save Lady Yan¡¯Er, and even helped Senior Jinwen to kill that True Lake Stage hook nose?" At the very first instant, Xue Tongsi spammed Mo Wuji was a barrage of questions. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, clasping his fists, "That¡¯s right. I was that black faced monk with a scar of my face. Previously, I had changed my appearance." By the side, Hou Yucheng was chuckling. Mo Wuji did not only change his appearance then. Even now, he was under disguise. Xue Tongsi smiled radiantly as she turned to face the crowd, "See, I was right." Listening in on the conversation between Mo Wuji and Xue Tongsi, the crowd instantly became more lively. "Senior Xinghe, you really helped Pill Master Jinwen kill a True Lake Stage expert?" "Senior Xinghe, when you were surrounded by hundreds of alien cultivators, how did you fight your way out?" "Would Senior Xinghe need to fight his way out? Senior Xinghe must have massacred those alien ants one by one, before slowly walking out." ¡­ The crowd surrounded Mo Wuji, and various questions and words of adoration bombarded over. Xue Tongsi raised her hand to quell the crowd, speaking loudly, "Various Dao Friend, not only did Senior Xinghe fight to protect our homeland, he pitted his life to fight the alien cultivators alone. He is a person who does not fear death, risking his life to save a stranger. Cultivators of our generation should treat Senior Xinghe as a target of emulation. I, Xue Tongsi, would like to announce in front of everyone, that from today onwards, Senior Xinghe, is my Da Shixiong!" (Big senior apprentice brother) "From today onwards, Senior Xinghe is also my Da Shixiong." Many cultivators in the crowd voiced out. Da Shixiong? Mo Wuji suddenly felt his balls hurting. Do I look like a monkey? [1] [1] Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, was the Da Shixiong/senior apprentice brother among the disciples taken in by Monk Xuanzhang in journey to the west.. The other disciples were Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. Chapter 198: We’re Teammates Chapter 198: We¡¯re Teammates Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Looking at the Tian Ji Pole in his hand, Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of short hair. It seems like he really was the Da Shixiong. [1] Seeing Lei Chenghe and his men stealthily sneaking away, Mo Wuji did not call out to him but formed some hand seals with his hands. An electroball was formed and was sent flying over. The electroball did not leave a trace as it exploded right below Lei Chenghe¡¯s feet. Lei Chenghe and co. had been suddenly attacked out of nowhere; many thought that a cultivator within the crowd was secretly helping Mo Wuji. Since someone had started the ball rolling, more cultivators secretly shot out their own skills. With so many cultivators attacking simultaneously, the entire ten floors of the Immortal Jade Tower Trembled. In all that confusion, a black nail pierced through Lei Chenghe¡¯s forehead in between his brows. He had ceased to live. The other four members of the Lei Clan could only crazily try their best to run away from the skills bombarding on them. "Stop!" A thick voice sounded, and a strong pressure came pressing over. A red robed man descended on the half destroyed Immortal Jade House. This person¡¯s cultivation was definitely higher than than True Lake Stage hook nose. Not just Mo Wuji, everyone else in the hall halted their actions. "My Immortal Jade Tower is the number one inn in Yan City. Fighting within my Immortal Jade House is a little out of hand." After the red robed man descended, he spoke with a dissatisfied tone but he did not explode in anger. Mo Wuji hurriedly stood forward, "Greetings senior. I did not take this matter into account. Please forgive me. The damages that the Immortal Jade Tower had suffered today, please put it under my account." That Lei Chenghe had been killed, and Mo Wuji clearly knew what that black nail which pierced through Lei Chenghe¡¯s head came from. It was exactly Hou Yucheng. Now that he had met his goal, but destroyed a person¡¯s Immortal Jade House, he had to pay for it. But it was just some spirit stones which he could easily afford. "No, we are all responsible. We will settle the damage together." The moment Mo Wuji¡¯s words were uttered, many cultivators came to voice out their disagreements. The red robed man¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Wuji, "You¡¯re Rogue Cultivator 2705?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Yes." The red robed man revealed a rare smile on his face, "You¡¯re a great role model in the entire Five Great Empires. Countless of cultivators in the younger generation set you as their target. Not bad. My Immortal Jade Tower can accept this bit of loss. Regarding the reimbursement, you don¡¯t need to think about it." With that, the red robed man waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please temporarily leave the Immortal Jade Tower. Wait till the Immortal Jade Tower is repaired, then you can come and have a drink." From the start to the end, the red robed man did not mention anything about the Lei Clan. It was as though Lei Chenghe¡¯s death was an insignificant thing. "Ok¡­" The crowd of cultivators expressed their agreement as they slowly left the Immortal Jade Tower. Mo Wuji secretly praised that man. Regardless of the sincerity behind the red robed man¡¯s words, he had undoubtedly made use of Mo Wuji¡¯s name to advertise his Immortal Jade Tower. Definitely, when the Immortal Jade Tower has been repaired, it will be more popular. "Oh right, you just killed a cultivator in Yan City. According to Yan City¡¯s law, you are to be punished. But I already helped put in a word for you, so you don¡¯t have to worry¡­" Mo Wuji just walked out of the Immortal Jade Tower and that red robed man¡¯s voice sounded in his ear. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded as he immediately turned and bowed towards the Immortal Jade Tower. He did not say anything but that red robed man should know that he has earned a favour from Mo Wuji. "Friends, many thanks for your support. I will have to bid my farewells for now. I hope to meet all of you again." Mo Wuji faced the crowd with his fists clasped, expressing his gratitude for their support. "Take care Da Shixiong¡­" "Da Shixiong, Yan¡¯Er hopes to have the chance to thanks you personally¡­" Xue Tongsi hurriedly added. "Da Shixiong¡­" "...." Various farewells were said. Mo Wuji could not help but expressed his gratitude again before leaving the Yan City Plaza with Hou Yucheng. Half an hour later, Mo Wuji and Hou Yucheng arrived at the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s contribution point exchange office. "Brother Mo, many thanks for your help. Otherwise, I would definitely have died under that Lei Chenghe¡¯s hands today." Up till now, Hou Yucheng finally had the chance to express offer his thanks to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji smiled lightly and patted Hou Yucheng¡¯s shoulders, "Brother Hou, we¡¯re teammates." This were the exact words Hou Yucheng used to help him previously. But now, the one saying it was Mo Wuji. Hou Yucheng was slightly startled before he chuckled, "We¡¯re not just teammates, we¡¯re friends." Some things need not be said too much. When Mo Wuji''s cultivation was low and seemed to bleak without a bright future, Hou Yucheng did not look down on him, but even helped him out multiple times. When Hou Yucheng was pursued by the Lei Clan, and was even bombarded by words of derision, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to step forward. He chose to believe in Hou Yucheng. Sometimes, friends are really simple. There''s no need for words, there''s also no need for favours. You just need to be there beside him when he needs you the most. "Brother Mo, this is got you." Hou Yucheng fetched a torn leather scroll and passed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji accepted the leather scroll and asked subconsciously, "What''s this?" "This is the reason why Lei Chenghe wanted to kill me¡­" Hou Yucheng chuckled. "Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s second style¡­" Mo Wuji finally had a clear look at contents of the torn scroll. He lifted his head to stare at the smiling Hou Yucheng in shock. Hou Yucheng said a little awkwardly, "I some connections to the people who held the auction back at Five Elements Desolate Domain so I knew that you were the one who purchased the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style. So after I obtained the second style, I intended to keep it for you. I never expected Lei Chenghe to get wind of this and he wanted to kill me to steal this second style. Back in that inn, your guess should be right. Lei Chenghe was originally the number one genius of the Lei Clan. But in one of the Lei Clan''s branch family, a Lei Hongji appeared with the unique lightning attribute spiritual roots. This number one spot had been wrested away by Lei Hongji, so Lei Chenghe was naturally unhappy. If he obtains this second style, coupled with his aggressive personality, it would not be impossible for him to obtain some support from the Lei Clan." "So he accused you of raping Lei Hongji''s fianc¨¦e?" Mo Wuji asked. Hou Yucheng¡¯s became softer, "Lei Hongji''s fianc¨¦e was indeed raped, and the person who raped her wasn''t some random person. It was Lei Chenghe. Lin Xiujie¡¯s sister and mother were also killed by Lei Chenghe. And this second style I obtained was actually from Lin Xiujie." Mo Wuji noticed that Hou Yucheng''s expression had turned ugly so he could guess that there were some secrets behind this story. However, Hou Yucheng did not seem to have the intentions to continue speaking, so Mo Wuji didn''t continue to ask. Indeed, Hou Yucheng changed the topic, "Brother Mo, to fight against the alien cultivators, the Hundred Sect Alliance really put in a lot of blood and effort. All the sects which entered the Hundred Sect Alliance all offered their best things. This includes their manuals, magic treasures, ingredients, materials, etc. You have relatively high amounts of contribution points, when you go in and take your pick, you need to take a closer look. Don''t get dazzled but what you see inside. I need to hurry and leave this god forsaken place. Remember, you need to disguise yourself after you leave this city. That Yu Lin Lei Clan definitely wouldn''t let go of us. It would be dangerous for us to leave together. If you aren''t able to find something suitable after a day, then immediately leave Yan City. The Yu Lin Lei Clan experts would take roughly two days to reach here, so you''ll have a full day to escape." "I know, take care." Mo Wuji nodded. "Good, I''ll leave first. Oh right, that expert in the Yan City Immortal Jade Tower is called Lian Hezhou." With that, Hou Yucheng turned and bolted. ¡­ "1000 points and below are not allowed here." Mo Wuji had not even gotten to the entrance of the contribution point exchange office when the old man sitting at the entrance said without even lifting his head. Mo Wuji fetched his jade token and handed it over as he said, "Junior''s contribution points are more than 1000." The old man lifted his head to see Mo Wuji before receiving the jade token in Mo Wuji''s hand. He immediately returned the jade token to Mo Wuji as he nodded his head, "Not bad. You can enter." "Many thanks senior." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully. The old man looked kind and innocuous but Mo Wuji detected a danger from him that even exceeded Feng Zhenqiu. What kind of man was Feng Zhenqiu? He was the Second Dean of the Heaven Seeking Palace, an expert at the True God Stage. This old man was more terrifying than Dean Feng, what level was that? The door behind the old man had already begun to gradually open. It looked pitch black inside. Mo Wuji hurried to enter the door. Not only was this old man a little terrifying, Mo Wuji also did not wish to waste even a minute of time with his current predicament. After Mo Wuji entered, the doors closed. Inside, it was a huge hall the size of seven to eight soccer courts. It clearly looked pitch black from the outside, but it was bright and gleaming when he entered. The enormous space was divided into many domains and each domain had a label. The one right at the front was for cultivation techniques. Sweeping his eyes across the entire domain, he could see clustered shelves of books, various leather scrolls, jade letters and mountains of manuals. However, there were not many skill transfer crystal balls which left Mo Wuji a little disappointed. It wasn''t because Mo Wuji was set on obtaining a skill transfer crystal ball. Actually, he did not even have that intention. After all, the skill transfer crystal ball could only be used once. After it was used, it would become useless. Since there are few skill transfer crystal balls here, it would mean that the various sects didn''t really put their best things out here. It seems like Hou Yucheng''s claim that the sects had offered their best things wasn''t entirely true. Mo Wuji entered the domain for cultivation techniques and he immediately discovered that the cultivation manuals were not randomly piled together. Instead, they were separated according to sects; a sect''s manuals would be placed in the same location and it would be labelled with the sect''s name. Mo Wuji had a clear aim: to find the continuation to his Immortal Mortal Technique. If that wasn''t possible, then he would find the very best cultivation manual. Scanning around, he discovered that the better manuals did not cost more than hundreds of contribution points. As for the manuals above 1000 points, they were simply too rare. With so many manuals, if it was any other cultivator, even if they simply flipped through each book once they would still take days to complete that. But Mo Wuji had an advantage. He did not need to flip through every single book; he would use his spiritual will to scan the entire area. As long as it had Immortal Mortal on it''s name, it would be cultivation manual he wanted. [1] Sun Wukong wields the Jin Gu Staff/Pole. They were using similar weapons HAHA Chapter 199: Tian Ji Sects Cultivation Technique Chapter 199: Tian Ji Sect''s Cultivation Technique Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji was worried that someone detect his spiritual will, so as he walked, he would occasionally stop to flip through some manuals. Here, a manual which was not being exchanged would have a thin string attached to it, preventing it from being taken away. Even a quick browse would only allow the first few pages to be seen. The later pages have all been sealed. So with this process of walking and stopping, Mo Wuji encountered quite a number of cultivation manuals with "Immortal" in the name. However, Mo Wuji could only smile ruefully when he noticed that this "Immortal" manuals were largely Human Grade manuals. They weren''t like the Immortal Mortal Technique which had a eye-catching name. At the start, Mo Wuji wasn''t really anxious. With all the Five Great Empire sects¡¯ manuals concentrated here, coupled with the fact that the Immortal Mortal Technique was so common, it should be easy to find the sequel to the Immortal Mortal Technique. But half a day had passed and Mo Wuji could not help but get anxious. He did see a few Immortal Mortal Techniques, but these were basically offered by Xuan sects. These were the most ordinary of techniques, it was the same one as he was cultivating. However, what he needed was the sequel to the Immortal Mortal Technique, and not the same Human Grade one which he had been using. Another hour passed but Mo Wuji''s efforts continued to end up to no avail. Signing inwardly, Mo Wuji decided to increase his speed. If he really wasn''t about to find what he wanted, then he would change to a different technique. There were no shortages of Earth Grade manuals here. Previously, he even found a Treasured Earth Grade manual for 9,000 contribution points. Even if he chose to ignore all these, he still had an Earth Grade cultivation manual on him. That manual was his spoils of war; he obtained it from that alien cultivator''s storage ring. Tian Ji Sect? Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks. It wasn''t because he found the technique he wanted but because this sect sounded very familiar. His magic treasure was called Tian Ji Pole, and now there''s this Tian Ji Sect. The Tian Ji Sect had a total of 12 manuals, but unfortunately, it was only a Xuan sect. In the Five Great Empires, a Xuan sect could be considered one of the lowest existences. Even an average state might be more powerful than a Xuan sect. Mo Wuji casually swept the Tian Ji Sect''s manuals with his spiritual will, and he immediately found one of the cultivation technique: Immortal Mortal Technique. Mo Wuji laughed, only a Xuan sect would offer this Immortal Mortal Technique. Mo Wuji was about to continue scanning further with his spiritual will when he saw the contribution points required. He was momentarily shocked still. The Immortal Mortal Technique required 10,008 points to exchange for it. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Mo Wuji rubbed his eyes and took another careful look. That''s right, it really required 10,080 contribution points; he did not make a mistake. Previously, Mo Wuji had seen many books of the Immortal Mortal Technique. The best one was from the Calm Spirit Clan which needed 5 contribution points. Many others only needed as low as 1 contribution point. And this Tian Ji Sect''s Immortal Mortal Technique needed an absurd 10,080 contribution points. Even if it contained the sequel to the Immortal Mortal Technique, it shouldn''t have such a price right? Mo Wuji took a look at the Tian Ji Sect''s other techniques; they were all very normally priced. With the exception of this, the highest priced one required 121 points. According to the standards, they shouldn''t have made a mistake with the pricing. The only possibility was that the Tian Ji Sect wasn''t willing to offer this technique. But if they were unwilling, then they could just not take it out, why would then send it here? Mo Wuji was truly unable to resist the urge to pull this 10,080 point Immortal Mortal Technique out, immediately flipping to the first page: "Heaven and Earth first opened then there came elemental energy. This is an absurd claim. Spiritual energy and the Heaven and Earth were conceived at the same time, mutually supporting one another. People who had yet to step into the Dao were mortals. I was a mortal, who condensed elemental energy, achieving longevity¡­" The opening of the Immortal Mortal Technique was exactly the same as the one he purchased from Luo Hai Merchant House. The following cultivation methods were also roughly the same. There were only a few minor details which were clearer and better explained than the one from the Luo Hai Merchant House. After flipping to the tenth page, Mo Wuji was unable to carry on. The content at the back had been sealed, which was as expected. Here, all the cultivation manuals did not allow you to read till the end. Unexpectedly, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised. Because according to the thickness of the book, the ten pages he had read through was roughly 10% of the entire manual. And in the 10%, 90% of the one he bought from Luo Hai Merchant House could be found. If the following pages contained more Immortal Mortal Technique content, then this manual was truly better. As long as this Tian Ji Sect was not intentionally scamming others, this manual might very likely contain what he wanted. Even though the name of the book was the same, it''s thickness was much more. Unless the pages at the back were all blank? Mo Wuji was soon sure that the Tian Ji Sect wouldn''t intentionally seal a bunch of white pages. After all, the Tian Ji Sect was still a Xuan sect; it shouldn''t do such lowly things. This book it is then. Mo Wuji took out his contribution point jade token, and swiped it at the space below the Immortal Mortal Technique. With a "Beep" sound, an additional line of red words appeared behind his 12,076 points: Already used 10,080 points. At the same time, the thin string holding the Immortal Mortal Technique suddenly disappeared. Spending more than ten thousand contribution points at one go, he would be lying if he said that his heart didn''t ache. But even if his heart ache, he wouldn''t hesitate to exchange for it again. Without a cultivation technique, how was he supposed to advance? He did not immediately open his Immortal Mortal Technique here, he had this feeling that the old man at the entrance had been following him with his spiritual will. A little more than 2,000 points left. Mo Wuji actually intended to search for a skill, but because he spent too much time searching for a cultivation manual, he decided to temporarily give up on that. He was worried that the Lei Clan might have already sent men to Yan City. Lian Hezhou might be able to help Mo Wuji account to the Tian Shang Empire, but he wouldn''t be able to stop the Lei Clan from searching for Mo Wuji. ¡­ Two days later. Mo Wuji was already tens of thousands of miles away from Yan City, but he did not intend to stop just yet. He controlled the flying car to continue moving towards the direction of the Heaven Seeking Palace. He wanted to undergo closed doors cultivation and the Heaven Seeking Palace spiritual energy tempering room was the most suitable. Now, he had contribution points on him, so he could use the spiritual energy tempering room for as long as he liked. In the spiritual energy tempering room, even Jin Yu wouldn''t be able to do anything against him. As for the alien battlefield, his cultivation was currently too low. ¡­ Yan City Tian Ji Sect encampment. An old man was urgently staring at the door, by his side was a middle-aged man. After an incense''s time, a young woman walked in and bowed towards the old man and said, "Master, the investigation is complete. The one who spent more than ten thousand contribution points to exchange for our sect¡¯s Immortal Mortal Technique was Rogue Cultivator 2705." "The same Rogue Cultivator 2705 on the Hundred Sect Alliance''s rankings?" The old man seemed to also have known about Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s fame. The woman nodded, "It''s him. A few days back, he appeared in the Yan City Immortal Jade Tower. Thereafter, the Lei Clan''s Lei Chenghe barged into the Immortal Jade Tower after the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Hou Yucheng. Thereafter, Rogue Cultivator 2705 saved Hou Yucheng and incited the crowd to kill Lei Chenghe. Afterwards, he visited the contribution points exchange office and exchanged for our sect''s Immortal Mortal Technique." "Any updates on where he is now?" The old man asked urgently. The woman shook her head, "No. I heard that the Lei Clan had sent people to Yan City and are also searching for Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s whereabouts. They even requested the Hundred Sect Alliance to hand over Rogue Cultivator 2705, claiming that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had casually killed a big sect''s disciple, infringing the Tian Shang Empire laws. However, the Hundred Sect Alliance and the Tian Shang Emperor did not do anything to Rogue Cultivator 2705." The middle-aged man beside the old man sighed and said, "I never expected for there to be someone who would spend more than 10,000 contribution points to exchange for the Immortal Mortal Technique. If he finds out that it is completely empty, I wonder if he would get angry at our Tian Ji Sect." The old man shook his head, "Our Tian Ji Sect''s Immortal Mortal Technique isn''t completely empty. Only the destined one could unlock its contents. If our Tian Ji Sect could unlock the content at the back, it wouldn''t have fallen to such an extent. Now, we''ve even become a Xuan sect. The greatness of the Immortal Mortal Technique, you will never understand¡­" After a brief pause, the old man continued, "Qiuji, Ping¡¯Er, you two continue to gather information on that Rogue Cultivator 2705. Thereafter, invite him to our Tian Ji Sect. If he''s truly able to open the things at the back of the Immortal Mortal Technique, then we must invite him to become our Tian Ji Sect''s sect head." "Ah¡­" That final sentence left Ping¡¯Er and that middle-aged man with their mouths agape in shock, they were in a state of disbelief. Even though the Tian Ji Sect was only a Xuan sect, not only could be its sect head. To let a rogue cultivator be its sect head? Even if this rogue cultivator was on the Hundred Sect Alliance''s contribution point rankings, he didn''t qualify ah ¡­ Even though the Tian Ji Sect and the Yu Lin Lei Clan were in Yan City searching for Rogue Cultivator 2705, it no longer had anything to do with Mo Wuji. If not for his constant rush, Mo Wuji would have long taken out the Immortal Mortal Technique to study it closely. Because he was controlling the flying car, Mo Wuji could only take a look at Mo Xue¡¯s . He was afraid he might be overly engrossed in the Immortal Mortal Technique and forget to control the flying car. One month later, Mo Wuji had returned the Heaven Seeking Palace. Compared to the time he left with Cen Shuyin, the Heaven Seeking Palace was even more dull. There were only a few disciples walking by and a majority of the disciples had gone to the alien cultivators battlefield. When Mo Wuji returned to the sect, he immediately sprinted towards the Immortal Training Tower. Closed doors cultivation, this was what he wanted to do the most. He was in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1, he could be considered an expert among the younger generation of Heaven Seeking Palace''s disciples. But to Mo Wuji, this level was far from enough. He found that as his cultivation got higher, he felt increasingly insufficient. "I want the highest grade spiritual energy tempering room for a year," Mo Wuji went to the payment officer at the Immortal Training Tower and said aloud. The middle-aged woman at the payment office seemed to always have the same straight face, "Cultivating for more than three months does not accept spirit stones, you can only pay contribution points. You need to pay 1,000 contribution points." With that, the woman took out a card swiping machine. Mo Wuji did not have the mood to banter with this woman. He directly took our his Hundred Sect Alliance''s jade token and swiped it. Cen Shuyin had told him before, the Hundred Sect Alliance''s contribution points could be used outside the Hundred Sect Alliance, even back at their own sect. Indeed, the middle-aged woman didn''t find anything amiss, directly swiping the machine and throwing the jade token back at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji grabbed his jade token and rushed to the Immortal Training Tower''s best spiritual energy tempering room. He was about to start his closed doors cultivation. Chapter 200: The Technique’s Prerequisite Chapter 200: The Technique¡¯s Prerequisite Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - After shutting the door of the high grade spiritual energy tempering room, the first thing Mo Wuji took out was that book of Immortal Mortal Technique. Because he was in the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Immortal Training Tower¡¯s spiritual energy tempering room, he was confident that there was absolutely no way anyone could spy on him. Mo Wuji had no intentions of flipping to the last few pages of the book as he chose to start from page 1 instead. As he flipped through every page of this manual, Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned slightly ugly. It wasn¡¯t because there was a problem with this manual but because there was a problem with the Immortal Mortal Technique that he bought at Luo Hai Merchant House. When he flipped through the first 10 pages, he expected that this 10 pages would cover about 90% of the content of the manual he bought at Luo Hai Merchant House. However, Mo Wuji realised that the Luo Hai Merchant House¡¯s Immortal Mortal Technique added some more content to the real Immortal Mortal Technique. This extra content allowed those who don¡¯t understand it to read it more smoothly and logically. Now that this manual removed these extra informations, Mo Wuji realised that he made a lot of mistakes in his spiritual circulation routes when cultivating using his previous manual. The main reason was because the added content Immortal Mortal Technique was like taking off your pants to fart: an extra move. The good thing was that these added content did not affect the cultivation in any way. Mo Wuji decided to refer to this manual¡¯s spiritual circulation technique and scrapped any extra content added to the Luo Hai Merchant House¡¯s manual. After these 10 pages should be the Transcending Mortality Stage¡¯s cultivation technique and even though Mo Wuji was extremely excited to flip to page 11, he managed to control himself to start from the first page instead. He did not dare to flip to page 11 of the book back at the storeroom because he was afraid that the old man might be using his spiritual will to track his actions. On the road, he was afraid he could not concentrate. Only until now did Mo Wuji truly flipped open page 11. Seeing the content or rather lack of content in page 11, Mo Wuji was momentarily dumbfounded. He was deceived as page 11 was just a blank page. Mo Wuji stared blankly for a few seconds before bursting out cursing and swearing as he continued flipping impulsively... "Darn it!" Mo Wuji could not help but curse at the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head. This book only contained 11 pages and he already had the content of the first 10 pages in a modified manual. Page 11 was actually just a blank piece of white paper. Page 12... There was no page 12, or rather, after page 11 was a thick back cover of the book. This back cover was at least 10 times thicker than the thickness of the first 10 pages. When the book was sealed up, he could still see the individual page marks of this thick cover. However, without the seal now, all Mo Wuji saw was a thick back cover. There should naturally be no writings on the back cover of a book. I can¡¯t believe I just spent over 10,000 contribution points to purchase this piece of sh*t. After a round of cursing, Mo Wuji could only put down this Immortal Mortal Technique helplessly. He pulled out the ring hanging around his neck as there was another book of Earth grade technique that was found on the alien cultivator¡¯s body. Tian Ji Sect was after all still a Xuan grade sect. How dare they commit such acts? After he got out of his closed door cultivation session, he was determined to personally bring this book to the sect to lodge a complain. Do you think it was that easy to earn those contribution points? He actually exchanged his small life for these points. Something¡¯s not right. Mo Wuji suddenly thought that Tian Ji Sect¡¯s actions would only earn them some contribution points. However, if he were to bring this matter up and lodge a complain, wouldn¡¯t it ruin the entire Tian Ji Sect? Furthermore, the sect leader of Tian Ji Sect was also not an idiot to charge such a high price on one average quality good like this one just to earn that extra 10,000 over points. After coming to this realisation, Mo Wuji quickly let go of the storage ring and picked up the Immortal Mortal Technique which he cursed at for half a day. This time, he used his spiritual will to scan page 11 only to realise it was still a blank page. Following which, he tried his spiritual will on page 12 too but it was to no avail as well. Using his spiritual will, he managed to sense that there were a few lines on the back of the book cover. Could this be a seal? No way, Mo Wuji thought to himself as he quickly realised that it was not a seal. Because of his recent research on Chu Xingzi¡¯s Array Dao, he knew quite a fair bit about seals. These lines did not look anything like seals but they looked more like the streams of spirit channels in one¡¯s body. Mo Wuji cautiously placed his hand on these invisible lines as he shut his eyes to feel it. After half a day, he still could not feel anything special about these lines. He decided to transfer some elemental energy into the lines and to Mo Wuji¡¯s pleasant surprise, his elementary energy could actually enter these faint lines. After a short while, Mo Wuji had a new discovery. His elementary energy could only be mobilised in one of the lines and not split up to enter two lines. However, no matter how hard he tried to transfer and mobilise the elemental energy in the line, the book remained in its original state. Mo Wuji then started directing his spiritual energy on the remaining lines. When he used his second meridian to transfer a stream of elemental energy into one of the lines, it was exactly like his prediction where the second stream of elemental energy could only flow in the second line. Just as the two spirit channels started flowing simultaneously, it was forming a simple spiritual circuit. However, Mo Wuji could only cultivate such spiritual circuit in his body and not on the book itself. Following this method, Mo Wuji continuously transferred elemental energy into the lines of the book and since he possessed 101 meridians, he might as well transfer all elemental energy into 101 independent lines of the book. The 101 streams of elemental energy on the back cover of this book started to collide against each other unexpectedly and spontaneously forming a massive spiritual circuit. "Hua¡­" Sounds of paper flipping were heard and Mo Wuji swiftly withdrew his elemental energy as he was worried he might ruin the book. Then, he was momentarily stunned at what was in front of him. What used to a thick back cover of a book was ultimately split into more than 10 pages in front of him. As Mo Wuji hurried to flip open page 12, his eyes were filled with tears when he saw real content inside. There were clear descriptions of the spiritual circulation techniques after the Transcending Mortality Stage as well as the the various spiritual circulation paths. Additionally, there were even pictures and explanations within this book. As compared to the first 10 pages, the explanation on the pages behind were far more detailed. Holding this Immortal Mortal Technique, Mo Wuji apologised to that Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head in his heart as he wrongly accused and cursed at him previously. The saying ¡®Without proper investigation, one should not have the right of speech¡¯ should instead be altered to ¡®Without proper investigation, one should not be chirping away¡¯. After flipping through a few pages, Mo Wuji came to understand something. The reason why Tian Ji Sect took this book out to sell was because they knew that the back of the book was sealed up. They also knew that the seal could only be broken by someone with 101 meridians or rather a person with 101 spirit channels. A Tian Ji Sect¡¯s expert must have tried and realised that without a person capable of transferring so many individual streams of elemental energy into the lines, the sealed pages would never appear. Even if an expert were to rely on brute force to try and open this Immortal Mortal Technique, he might accidentally destroy this manual eventually. Tian Ji Sect¡¯s experts quoted such a high price of 10,008 contribution points only because they were aware that this book was truly valuable. The truth was that Mo Wuji knew that this quoted price would never be enough to purchase this book. Perhaps Tian Ji Sect was afraid that nobody would buy the book even if they were to sell it at a price of 100 contribution points hence, they quoted it at over 10,000 contribution points to try their luck and see who would actually purchase this book. Mo Wuji was almost certain that the Tian Ji Sect would be investigating on the person who bought this book. They knew that this book contained secrets and would naturally want to know where this book would eventually end up. Concurrently when he was thanking Tian Ji Sect, Mo Wuji sighed at the fact that there were too many experts in ancient times. His Wordless Pill Manual was an example of an inheritance and perhaps the reason why others could not open his Wordless Pill Manual was related to mortals who managed to open meridians. He was only a mortal without spiritual roots yet, he was able to open meridians which he could eventually cultivate. Seeing that there were many more back covers that appeared on the book, Mo Wuji became extraordinarily elated. This meant that even after he reached the Yuan Dan Stage, he could still open new pages and continue further cultivation. ¡­ Yan Empire, Yan City Plaza. There were a few cultivators watching and discussing about the rankings of Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board. Other than the top 3 experts of the rankings, the cultivators there were also discussing about Rogue Cultivator 2705. Half a year ago, Rogue Cultivator 2705 contributed 12076 points and was ranked 6th. However, half a year later, it was as if Rogue Cultivator 2705 disappeared as his total points stagnated at 12076 but was ranked 15th now. "There is a growing number of alien cultivators so how is it possible that Shixiong 2705¡¯s points did not rise at all?" "I¡¯ve longed notice that Shixiong 2705 is definitely not the type to be afraid of death. As long as he is alive, he would for sure be at the battlefront against the alien cultivators. Now that he did not appear, there is only one possibility¡­" "I suspect Shixiong Xinghe has been assassinated too. I was there at the Immortal Jade House six months ago when the incident happened. Even though Shixiong Xinghe is not afraid of death, he was limited to his cultivation level. If he was marked by other clan¡¯s experts, it would be futile even if he was not afraid of dying." "What other clan? It has to be that Yu Lin Lei Clan! Just look at how how they accused others of their own crime. I believe we should report this incident to the Hundred Sect Alliance and find out whether our Rogue Cultivator was really assassinated." "Right, we should report to the alliance!" More people grew into the discussions as a majority of people started to gather as they were preparing to head towards the Hundred Sect Alliance to report and find out the truth. At this moment, Yu Lin Lei Clan should be the most troubled clan. After Lei Chenghe was killed, the Yu Lin Lei Clan was constantly being cursed and swore at. Even presently as they still couldn¡¯t find the Rogue Cultivator 2705 who killed Lei Chenghe, they had to face the wrath of so many cultivators. There was an elder joining in the crowd at the plaza. He sighed loudly as he saw the Five Big Empire Sects¡¯ Contribution Board. This elder was Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head, Du Shiqing. He was feeling troubled not because he felt that Tian Ji Sect¡¯s ranking was too low but because their ranking was too high. After Rogue Cultivator 2705 bought the Immortal Mortal Technique, Tian Ji Sect advanced straight into the top 50. Many Quasi-Sky grade sects did not even obtain this ranking therefore what would people be thinking if a Xuan grade sect managed to be in the top 50? After half a year, Tian Ji Sect was still ranked within the top 100 and this made him worried that people might investigate further about this. Chapter 201: Extreme Mortal Stage Chapter 201: Extreme Mortal Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Sect Head Du?" A sudden but uncertain voice interrupted Du Shiqing''s train of thoughts. Du Shiqing turned to see a shop assistant donned in a certain merchant house¡¯s uniform. He was not acquainted with this shop assistant. "You called me?" Du Shiqing stared doubtfully at the shop assistant. The shop assistant¡¯s mouth widened into a grin, "So it really is senior. Someone got me to pass this letter to Senior Du." With that, the shop assistant respectfully stuffed the letter into Du Shiqing¡¯s hands. Du Shiqing subconsciously accepted the letter and asked, "You sent this?" "This I do not know. I¡¯m just the runner." With that, the assistant turned and left; soon, he had disappeared. Du Shiqing looked at the mysterious letter and opened it. At the very next instant, he was pleasantly surprised, "Senior Du, junior is Rogue Cultivator 2705. Because junior had offended another party, I dare not head towards Yan City, which was why I had someone pass this letter to senior. I wish to meet with senior, and ask Senior Du for advice. If Senior Du is willing to meet junior, please go to the Yin Tomb Beach, junior will be there waiting. If Senior Du is not willing to meet junior, please ignore this letter. If junior does not see senior, I will leave. Rogue Cultivator, Xinghe!" In Yan City, there were few cultivators who did not know the Yin Tomb Beach. The Yin Tomb Beach was 500 to 1,000 kilometers away from Yan City. Legends said that it was a battleground of the ancient cultivators. It was said that an Yin cultivator, who was close to ascending, was undergoing closed doors cultivation. However, a cultivator war took place, causing this Yin cultivator to fail in a critical moment of his cultivation, bringing his spirit channels into disorder and corrupting his cultivation. On that very day, the Yin cultivator rampaged with anger, and before he died, he suddenly exploded, slaughtering all the cultivators who were battling there. Ultimately, his body, which was made of Yin energy, descended on that very land. After the Yin cultivator fell, the land became enfolded with Yin energy, and even Yin Beads were condensed. As time passed, the place became an Yin-filled beach. Because there was no spiritual energy, and the high possibility of experiencing cultivation corruption here, few cultivators were willing to visit this place over the countless of years. At the very most, they would only pass by this place. Even the purest of Yin cultivators would not cultivate here. No matter how rich the Yin energy was, it would still be useless without spiritual energy. Thus, the Yin Tomb Beach came to be a place which was known by all, but visited by none. Du Shiqing was currently searching for Rogue Cultivator 2705. Rogue Cultivator 2705 had exchanged for his Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Immortal Mortal Technique, which was a matter that would affect the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s future. How could he not be worried? Now that the other party took the initiative to look for him, Du Shiqing did not hesitate to rush over. However, as Du Shiqing was walking by the Yan City entrance, he paused and passed the letter to the city guard, requesting the guard to help him pass the letter to the Tian Ji Sect during a change in shifts. ¡­ A few hours later, Du Shiqing appeared in the periphery of the Yin Tomb Beach. It was exactly as the legends said. Even at the periphery, Du Shiqing could feel the rich and cold Yin energy. Over in the distance, there were even condensed clouds of Yin energy. The Tian Ji Sect cultivates Yang techniques. However, Du Shiqing¡¯s cultivation was limited, so he could not help but stimulate his spirits. The entire area was empty and devoid of life. This induced some doubts within Du Shiqing; since that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had called him out, 2705 should already be here waiting for him. As Du Shiqing was still confused over the bleakness of the place, a soil tomb slightly far from him exploded open. A hoarse voice sounded over, "Sect Head Du really came." Following the voice, a short figure jumped out from the soil, landing a few meters away from Du Shiqing. When Du Shiqing saw this tiny figure, a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes. Soon, Du Shiqing concealed this trace of disappointment; it didn¡¯t matter what Rogue Cultivator 2705 looked like, he had spent more than ten thousand contribution points to purchase the Immortal Mortal Technique, so he definitely wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. As the exalted Du Shiqing, how could he judge others based on looks? However, when Du Shiqing clearly saw what the other party looked like, his heart skipped a beat and he finally made sense of the situation, "You¡¯re not Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­" He had seen a portrait of 2705 before, 2705 was a pale faced scholar. However, this person was clearly not a scholar, and he was incredibly strong. "Ha ha¡­" That short cultivator chortled, "Sect Head Du is indeed wise. I¡¯m indeed not Rogue Cultivator 2705, the reason why I invited Sect Head Du here is to seek your advice on something." Feeling that the other party¡¯s cultivation was even higher than his, Du Shiqing¡¯s eyes revealed an imposing expression, "Sir, please speak." The short cultivator said indifferently, "The Tian Ji Sect does not have any outstanding talent, but yet it was able to climb the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s contribution points ranking, charging into the top 100, even into the top 50. Ostensibly, the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Dao is deep and vast. However, after some investigation, something from the Tian Ji Sect must have been exchanged away using a large amounts of contribution points. There are only a few people who could use so many contribution points to exchange for Tian Ji Sect¡¯s thing. Now, with a mention of 2705, Sect Head Du had arrived. It looks like my guess was right. The one who gave Tian Ji Sect the contribution points should be 2705, right?" "Apologies, I¡¯m not privy of this matter." Du Shiqing replied calmly. The short cultivator laughed maniacally, "Sect Head Du, whether you know about it doesn¡¯t matter. Now, I only hope for you to help me do two things. One, tell me who 2705 is, and where he had gone to. Two, what did 2705 exchange for from your Tian Ji Sect? Why did it need so many contribution points?" "I said, I don¡¯t know. If there¡¯s nothing else, I will take my leave." Du Shiqing took a few steps backward. The short cultivator grinned, "Leave? Now that you¡¯re here, unless you make things clear, you will never leave in your entire life time." Du Shiqing laughed calmly, "I understand, you should be from the Lei Clan. Only the Lei Clan would be so shameless." "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m the Lei Clan¡¯s Lei Mang. You, Du Shiqing, might be a sect head. But if I, Lei Mang wants to kill you, I don¡¯t really need to spend much effort." The short cultivator said severely. His Lei Clan did not find any traces of 2705, but found some clues from the change in Tian Ji Sect¡¯s rankings. Du Shiqing laughed once more, "I, Du Shiqing, might not have a high cultivation, but I¡¯m not someone who would be threatened by a demon like you." Liu Mang did not get angry, but stared at Du Shiqing with contempt, "After I kill you, I will kill everyone in your Tian Ji Sect, including your disciples and your adopted daughter." Du Shiqing¡¯s tone remain calm, "With your Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s culture, this is indeed possible. I don¡¯t find that weird." "You¡¯re not worried that your sect gets destroyed, nor the death of your disciples and loved ones?" Lei Mang stared at Du Shiqing quizzically. Du Shiqing laughed gently, "My Tian Ji Sect will not be destroyed. It¡¯s not something a tiny Lei Clan can do. My Tian Ji Sect¡¯s teaching is: Tian Ji Sect disciples will only stand to their death; they will not kneel while they¡¯re alive. Tian Ji Sect¡¯s disciples will not be threatened. Your tiny Lei Clan does not have the rights to force my Tian Ji Sect to yield and kneel." Liu Mang¡¯s face swelled to an incredibly ugly extent; he shouted in rage, "Do it." Tens of beams of lights shot towards Du Shiqing from all four directions. Thereafter, multiple figures came pouncing towards him. ¡­ "Kacha!" The Heaven grade spirit stone in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands disintegrated into dust. This was the second of the three Heaven grade spirit stones he obtained from that woman¡¯s storage ring. To increase his rate of cultivation, Mo Wuji gritted his teeth to use this partially-used Heaven grade spirit stone. Following the disappearance of this Heaven grade spirit stone, Mo Wuji broke through Transcending Mortality Stage Level 6, advancing into Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7. Over the past six months, Mo Wuji had directly jumped six levels of the Transcending Mortality Stage. Even though this cultivation pace could not compare to the mutant five element spiritual root, Yan¡¯Er, it was definitely a bullet train compared to majority of cultivators in the same stage. Mo Wuji clearly knew why his cultivation could rise so fast, besides the high density of the advanced grade spiritual energy tempering room, the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Immortal Mortal Technique was indispensable. Of course, there was a more important reason: the Heaven grade spirit stone. For his last Heaven grade spirit stone, Mo Wuji truly could not bear to use it. He intended to keep to to when he reached Transcending Mortality Stage Level 10 to advance into the Extreme Mortal Stage. If it was as the legends said, an Extreme Mortal Stage cultivator could fight to a standstill with a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator; it was definitely worth it. At the very least, he didn¡¯t to run away with his tail in between his legs every time he encountered a Yuan Dan Stage expert. Even without the Heaven grade spirit stone, the rate Mo Wuji absorbed spiritual energy was terrifying. The rich spiritual energy in the entire advanced grade spiritual energy tempering room trembled, forming a spiritual energy whirlpool leading into his body. However, a fast rate of spiritual energy absorption did not equate to a fast pace of cultivation. One month passed, two month passed¡­ Three months later, Mo Wuji finally broke through Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7 and advanced into Transcending Mortality Stage Level 8. Mo Wuji felt a little helpless. Despite the richness of the spiritual energy, and the combined efforts of all his 101 meridians, he still took three months to advance from Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7 to Level 8. When he thought about the past, he did not even take six months to reach Level 7 from Level 1. The key difference was that he used the Heaven grade spirit stone previously. Retrieving his final Heaven grade spirit stone, Mo Wuji hesitated for a long time before muttering to himself, "Just use it. A spirit stone is only useful when it actually becomes your power. The future can wait." Clenching the Heaven grade spirit stone, the spiritual energy whirlpool around Mo Wuji became increasingly clear. Mo Wuji¡¯s previous slow cultivation burst with rapid speed. Half a month later, Mo Wuji advanced into Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9. One month later, Mo Wuji reached the Great Circle of Level 9. A spirit ring which could not be seen nor touched developed within his body. At almost the same instant this spiritual ring was formed, Mo Wuji broke from the shackles of Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9, breaking through into Level 10. That spirit ring must definitely by the sign of the Extreme Mortal Stage, Mo Wuji was indescribably excited and celebrated in his heart. He was sure that the spirit ring which seemed to override everything had something to do with the Extreme Mortal Stage. Other¡¯s spirituality could be seen with their eyes because of their spiritual roots. However, he had mortal roots and depended on himself to cultivate to this extreme stage. Thus, his body developed a ring of spirituality which could not be seen nor touched. Chapter 202: Tian Ji Sect’s Teaching Chapter 202: Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Teaching Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Yan City Tian Ji Sect encampment. Many people were sitted together with solemn expressions on their faces. Besides the Tian Ji Sect First Elder Wen Zhanwai, there was also Sect Head Du Shiqing¡¯s first disciple, Fan Qiuji, and Du Shiqing''s last disciple, as well as adopted daughter, Sang Yiping. "The sect head has left Yan City for six months already, and there has been no news of him. I guess, Sect Head Du might have fallen." The First Elder looked a little younger than Du Shiqing, but in reality, his age was much higher than Du Shiqing. At this moment, his voice was filled with melancholy. "That¡¯s impossible." Sang Yiping suddenly stood up and said, "A few months back, master sent a letter over, saying that he had received an invitation from Rogue Cultivator 2705. I think, master and 2705 might be engrossed in their research of the manual, and they forgot about everything else¡­" Wen Zhanwai said seriously, "2705 has not been seen for close to a year. Moreover, he did not even need to meet our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head. If it was someone else, who had obtained the secrets behind the Immortal Mortal Technique, would he tell our Tian Ji Sect? If he didn¡¯t unlock the secrets, wouldn¡¯t it be less likely for him to find our Tian Ji Sect? If our Tian Ji Sect could discover the secrets behind the manual, we wouldn¡¯t have offered it up already." "Could it be that 2705 has some parts he does not understand, so he invited our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head to resolve his misunderstandings? Or, after unlocking this manual, he might even have evil intentions?" Another elder interjected. Wen Zhanwai shook his head, "I have investigated on this 2705. He risked his life to save a Heaven Seeking Palace disciple, in the Immortal Jade House, he stood out alone against the crowd to speak up for Hou Yucheng. Additionally, he killed so many alien cultivators. From this, this person should be a honorable and morally upright young man. This kind of man definitely wouldn¡¯t do something as despicable as killing our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head. Furthermore, his cultivation doesn¡¯t even make him a position to deal with Shiqing. With his irreconcilable dispute with the Lei Clan, I¡¯m sure that he temporarily go to Yan City. The Yan Clan had always been searching for him, and now, our sect head has disappeared. It¡¯s very likely that the Lei Clan noticed the ties between our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s and 2705¡¯s contribution points. Then, they used 2705¡¯s name to arrange a meeting with Shiqing." "Uncle-master Wen, you¡¯re saying the Lei Clan¡­" Du Shiqing¡¯s first disciple, Fan Qiuji, asked urgently. He did not manage to finish his words before he was interrupted by Wen Zhanwai, "Things are still unclear, so we just need to keep this matter within our hearts. If it was really them, and something bad happens to Shiqing, our Tian Ji Sect wouldn¡¯t be any better. I know this family clan, this clan was built upon a history of blood and killing. If they insist on knowing what our Tian Ji Sect had exchanged for more than ten thousand contribution points, they will definitely will not rest and pursue it relentlessly. But even so, we will not compromise on our sect¡¯s teachings." "What should we do?" Another elder asked anxiously. Wen Zhanwai¡¯s voice unexpectedly became softer, "The sect¡¯s matters will be left under Qiuji¡¯s hands. Ping¡¯Er and a few legacy disciples would disguise themselves and leave the sect. If nothing happens to the sect, then they would return after three years. If something does happen to the sect, then those disciples will carry on the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s teachings and legacy, passing on the promise to the future generations of Tian Ji disciples, to destroy the Lei Clan. Our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s teaching is: Our disciples will stand till their death, they will never kneel while they¡¯re alive. Whoever it is, if they fall into the Lei Clan¡¯s hands, they would never reveal our sect¡¯s secrets." "Yes!" Everyone in the hall stood up and resounded loudly, their voice carried a hint of despondency. "Also, if our Tian Ji Sect starts to get destroyed, our survivors are to find that Rogue Cultivator 2705 and tell him our story. I believe, with 2705¡¯s hot blooded personality, as long as he had obtained the Immortal Mortal Technique¡¯s legacy, he definitely wouldn¡¯t sit by and watch as our Tian Ji Sect gets destroyed." As Wen Zhanwai said this, his voice also carried a tinge of fatigue and unwillingness. Even though the Tian Ji Sect was merely a Xuan sect, it had countless of years of history. Suddenly, someone had appeared and wanted to destroy the sect. Any one of Tian Ji Sect¡¯s disciples would be sure to be unwilling. ¡­ "Hong!" Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was flushed by the searing hot waves of spirituality. He opened his eyes which revealed a glaring gleam of brightness. Even though this bright light was just a brief flash, it illuminated the entire spiritual energy tempering room. Lifting his hand to throw the dusts of the depleted Heaven grade spirit stone, Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was filled with unrestrained grandness. He had broke through Transcending Mortality Stage Level 11 and advanced into Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12. Even though he yet to open his 102th meridian, Mo Wuji believed, as long as he had another Heaven grade spirit stone, opening his 102th meridian and stepping into the Earth Realm¡¯s Yuan Dan Stage would not be a pipe dream. In his body, the hidden spirit ring had become thicker and clearer; this was the power of the Extreme Mortal. After cultivating for a few days to stabilise his cultivation, Mo Wuji stood up. He was very clear that without a Heaven grade spirit stone, it was highly unlikely to break through Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12 and enter the Yuan Dan Stage in a short period of time. Mo Wuji stood up and cleaned himself up, changing into a fresh set of clothes. He had taken Inedia Pills repeatedly for an entire year, so he decided that he would have a feast at Heaven Seeking City. At the time, he would check whether Zhen Shaoke had arrived. If Zhen Shaoke hadn¡¯t arrived, then he would take a trip to Cheng Yu State. Some debts need to be paid. Since he had become the final inheritor of the Mo Clan, then he would take up the matters of the Mo Clan. Whatever Situ Qian owed his Mo Clan, he would take it back one at a time. The Northern Qin Prefecture belonged to his Mo Clan. That Ju Clan killed so many of his Mo Clan members, they would have to pay him back with an equal number of their Ju Clan lives. He had promised Mo Xiangtong before, when he had the ability, he would help settle the Mo Clan¡¯s debts. Now that he was at the Great Circle of Transcending Mortality, attained the Extreme Mortal Stage, and just half a step into the Yuan Dan Stage, he believed that the time had come. At the same time, he wanted to find Mo Xiangtong. Besides him, Mo Xiangtong was his only living relative from the Mo Clan. ¡­ Half a month later, Mo Wuji arrived at a new city, Luo An. He had inquired about Zhen Shaoke in the Heaven Seeking City to no avail. Thus, he would first settle the Mo Clan¡¯s debts. Luo An was the capital of the Northern Qin Prefecture. Even though Mo Wuji was the young prefecture lord of the Northern Qin Prefecture, this was his first time visiting this place. "Show your identity token." Just as Mo Wuji walked to the entrance of Luo An¡¯s city gates, he was stopped by two soldiers. Mo Wuji patted the bag on his back and clasped his fists, "I¡¯m from Luo An¡¯s Mo Clan. Because of my many years abroad, I only just returned to Luo An, and I don¡¯t have any sort of identity token." Mo Xiangtong had told Mo Wuji, the Luo An Mo Clan had been exterminated by the Ju Clan. However, before Mo Wuji acted, he wanted to verify whether the Ju Clan had completely destroyed the Mo Clan. The simplest way to do so, was to report his Mo Clan¡¯s name. When the two soldiers heard that Mo Wuji was from the Mo Clan who had not returned for many years, they immediately gave each other knowing glances. Mo Wuji could see the pity in these soldiers eyes. This pity wasn¡¯t only in the soldiers¡¯ eyes but in many of the people in the surrounding. There were even some looks of impatience in some of their eyes, seemingly wanting to tell Mo Wuji the bad news. However, no one came forward to tell him that he couldn¡¯t enter Luo An. "Since that¡¯s the case, you can enter," One of the soldiers said while nodding towards Mo WUji. After entering Luo An, his spiritual will detected someone running urgently into the city behind those two soldiers. "May I ask, what¡¯s the address of the Luo An Mo Clan?" Mo Wuji turned to see a woman with a scarf on her head walking to him so he asked hurriedly. He wanted to see the ruins of the Mo Clan. What Mo Wuji never expected was that the woman immediately grabbed his hand, "Don¡¯t talk, follow closely behind me." Sensing that the other party did not have any evil intentions, Mo Wuji followed her to leave the main streets, and with a series of turns, they entered a small alley. "This big sister, why did you pull me here?" Seeing that there was no one in the surroundings, Mo Wuji shook off the woman¡¯s hand. "What branch of the Mo Clan are you?" The woman did not mind Mo Wuji¡¯s actions but asked anxiously. "My grandfather is Mo Tiancheng, my father is Mo Guangyuan, I¡¯m Mo Xinghe." Mo Wuji answered. "You¡¯re the young prefecture lord¡­" The woman was momentarily shocked still before shouting in an emotional shriek. However, she only said a few words before urgently covering her own mouth. This caused her voice to sound a little weird. Thereafter, she pulled Mo Wuji to enter one of the houses by the side. After the two entered, the doors were closed, causing the insides to look a little dark. Mo Wuji scanned the room with his spiritual will, he saw a man hiding behind a screen, staring at him. Behind that man, was the entrance of a hole dug into the ground. If anything were to happen, that man would immediately rush into that hole. With a "Click", the woman turned on the lights, and she called out, "Brother Qi, quickly come out. The young prefecture lord has returned." The man behind the screen seemed to leap out, landing in front of Mo Wuji and that woman, with his voice trembling as he said, "What? You said young prefecture lord?" At the same time, his gaze landed on Mo Wuji as he sized Mo Wuji up. The woman nodded, "Yes, it¡¯s him. Our Mo Clan¡¯s last Northern Qin Prefecture Lord, Lord Tiancheng¡¯s grandson, Mo Xinghe." "You¡¯re Lord Tiancheng¡¯s descendant?" Not only was the man¡¯s voice trembling, it was incredibly emotional. Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Mo Xinghe. Now, I¡¯ve changed my name to Mo Wuji, I¡¯m the heir to the Northern Qin throne." "Just now, he reported himself as a Mo Clan member, so I hurriedly pulled him back¡­" The woman explained by the side. "What?" The man¡¯s face instantly turned pale white and his entire body started trembling. Mo Wuji knew that this wasn¡¯t the previous tremble of excitement and emotion, but one of fear and terror. After some time, the man calmed himself down, and exhaled deeply, "Since the heavens wish for my Mo Clan to be destroyed, then so be it." With that, the man turned back and called out, "Mo Qian, Mo Li, Mo Jian¡­ Hurry on out. Our last and final opportunity is here." Hearing the man¡¯s words, the woman who pulled Mo Wuji came to a sudden realisation. The entire Luo An was the Ju Clan¡¯s. If she didn¡¯t expose anything, the Ju Clan might not discover this place. But now, she had exposed things, the Ju Clan could find this place at any moment. Chapter 203: I Am Back For Revenge Chapter 203: I Am Back For Revenge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji saw more than 10 guys appearing from the ground and after these men emerged, they immediately bowed to show their respect for the man whom the woman addressed as Brother Qi. "I¡¯m sorry Brother Qi, it is all my fault," The woman who pulled Mo Wuji back had already lost her initial excitement and joyfulness as she regained her composure. "Lan He, please don¡¯t say that. You¡¯re a straightforward person who is unwilling to think about such dirty things. It was really remarkable for you to think of bringing young prefecture lord back," Brother Qi walked to the side of the woman and patted the back of her hand. Mo Wuji suddenly said, "Why not Lan He and I leave this place? At worst, we would be the only two that will be spotted." The man who was addressed as the young lord, Brother Qi, laughed as he said, "Young prefecture lord, I, Mo Qi, may be an offshoot but I still have the roots of the Mo Clan. Abandoning my young prefecture lord to escape on my own is definitely not something I would do." Finishing, Mo Qi bowed to Mo Wuji as a form of respect, "Mo Clan¡¯s offshoot Mo Qi greets young prefecture lord and even though we would be exterminated by the Ju Clan very soon, I have to pay my respects." Almost immediately after he finished his sentence, Mo Qi turned and said to the men behind him, "Everyone! In the future, there will no longer be a young lord anymore, only a young prefecture lord." "Yes," After these over 10 men answered in unison, they bowed to Mo Wuji shouting, "Greetings, young prefecture lord." After Mo Qi bowed together with them, he said in a soft voice, "Young prefecture lord, I was initially planning to secretly assassinate Ju Hui to avenge the Mo Clan. However, now that we are spotted, let¡¯s kill as many as we can." Mo Wuji nodded his head as he knew that Ju Hui was the new prefecture lord of the Northern Qin Prefecture so it was perfectly normal for Mo Qi to plan his assassination against Ju Hui to avenge for the Mo Clan. Mo Wuji¡¯s original plan was to leave Luo An City immediately after he avenged the Mo Clan. As for the throne of the Northern Qin Prefecture, he really did not care much about it. However, after witnessing Mo Qi¡¯s words and actions, he did seem to Mo Wuji like a fitting person for the throne. After appearing so abruptly in Luo An, Mo Wuji not only exposed his own identity but Mo Qi¡¯s identity too. Despite so, Mo Qi had no complaints at all as he decided to fight together with him. "Mo Qi, how are you so certain that I am indeed the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord? Is it just because I said so?" Mo Wuji questioned curiously. Mo Qi heard Mo Wuji¡¯s question and dazed momentarily before saying, "Would there be anyone who would pose as a member of the Mo Clan? In Luo An, even if they didn¡¯t belong to the Mo Clan, people would change their surname as long as they have the surname Mo. Not just those with the surname Mo but even those with a surname that sounds similar to Mo like Mu would change their surname too." "People from the Ju Clan are so overbearing?" After Mo Wuji said this, his spiritual will managed to sense that there were a few experts at his door. Further away, there was even an army of soldiers approaching in droves. "Bang!" The door was kicked open as sunlight radiated in, lighting up the originally dark house. Mo Qi¡¯s face turned pale and one could tell that he had lived underground for a long period of time. "You are right. People from my Ju Clan are indeed so overbearing." An extremely arrogant voice could be heard. The one speaking was a young man wearing a brocade robe and Mo Wuji could tell in one look that he was a cultivator. Noticing the spirituality surrounding him, Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that he could be in the intermediate Channel Opening Stage. The few men behind the brocade robed man had similar spirituality around them too. "His name is Ju Han, the son of that old ignorant man, Ju Hui," Mo Qi lashed out at the sight of Ju Han. Mo Wuji shook his head as he could applaud Mo Qi for his courage but he knew that it would not be possible for him to kill Ju Hui. If Ju Han was at the intermediate stage of the Channel Opening Stage, then Ju Hui should not be any weaker than him. Furthermore, there were no obvious spirituality surrounding Mo Qi so it was evident that he had only mortal roots. For a mortal to assassinate a cultivator with spiritual roots like Ju Hui, would simply be like throwing an egg against a rock. "I¡¯ve always thought that my Ju Clan had killed every single member of the Mo Clan. I¡¯ve never imagine that there would still be a few fishes who managed to escape the net. What¡¯s your name?" Ju Han looked at Mo Wuji and asked loftily. Mo Wuji replied coldly, "My name is Mo Wuji and I¡¯m sure you should have heard of me before. According to what you¡¯ve said, was Mo Clan really exterminated by your Ju Clan?" Ju Han sneered as he replied, "You are right. Members of the Mo Clan were indeed all killed by my Ju Clan. However, not all have been killed as aren¡¯t the few of you still standing right in front of me? As for you, ah, there isn¡¯t a person in the Mo Clan who is worthy of me knowing him¡­" Suddenly, Ju Han¡¯s words were stuck in his throat as he recalled something. A few months ago, his father did warn him about a prefecture lord from the Mo Clan who survived and his name was Mo Wuji and he was actually Mo Tiancheng¡¯s grandson. Not only this, this Mo Wuji got f*cking lucky and managed to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace as an outer disciple. Could this Mo Wuji who was in front of him be the Mo Wuji from the Heaven Seeking Palace? How is this possible? It would take at least a few months for him to travel from the Heaven Seeking Palace to this place even if he took a flying beast carriage. "Looks like you¡¯ve guessed it right. I am indeed the Mo Wuji from the Heaven Seeking Palace," Mo Wuji said with a sarcastic tone. Even though Ju Han knew about the Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Qi and Co. had no idea what it was. They had no clue why Mo Wuji and Ju Han had been conversing for the whole day and not fought yet. Mo Wuji was the young prefecture lord and they would not act if their young prefecture lord chose not to act yet. "Uncle Qijian from my Ju Clan is a Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s inner disciple and you are only an outer disciple. If you dare to touch me¡­" Ju Han finally confirmed that this was indeed the Mo Wuji from the Heaven Seeking Palace. Even though Mo Wuji was only an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace, Ju Han didn¡¯t dare to push his luck any further. It was simply too easy for a Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s outer disciple to kill him. As he spoke, Ju Han had already drew out a flying blade and the flying blade was morphed into a red light which disappeared in the sky far away from here. Mo Wuji acted as if he did not see the flying blade¡¯s signals as he did not reached out to block it. All he did was smile and said, "I won¡¯t dare to touch you¡­" Ju Han heaved a sigh of relief and before he could regain his composure and collect his thoughts, a long blade with a blue tip sliced right through both his thighs. "Blergh!" Ju Han fell on his knees as he spat out two mouthful of blood. Everything below his knee were all severed off evenly leaving only fresh streams of blood flowing out. "You¡­" Ju Han, who had lost both his legs, could only muttered out one word as he pointed at Mo Wuji. Being at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, Ju Han could clearly see Mo Wuji¡¯s blade flying over but he just couldn¡¯t defend against it. Mo Wuji took a step forward before stepping on the top of Ju Han¡¯s head, "I don''t dare to touch you but I dare to kill you." "Don¡¯t kill me¡­" Ju Han could sense that death was almost upon him and he was really frightened. He still had a bright future ahead of him hence, what a pity it would truly be if he was killed now. If he could tell that the future of his Ju Clan was actually not very bright, he would perhaps die a little happier. "I won¡¯t kill you, I will step on you till you die¡­" Mo Wuji exerted more strength on his leg as the sound of cracking bones could be heard. Ju Han¡¯s skull was crushed to its brain was exposed by Mo Wuji¡¯s stomp. Having lived here for such a long time, Mo Wuji was already numbed to all these bloodsheds and killings. After witnessing all these, the few cultivators who were previously following closely behind Ju Han all took a step back in fear. They realised that Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was far greater than what they could possibly deal with. Even if all of them were to attack simultaneously, they would simply be courting death. However, just as they took half a step back, a saber light flashed across them and all four of them fell head first before being sent flying away. Mo Qi and co. watched dazedly at Mo Wuji and it was only up till now that they came to their senses. The reason why Mo Wuji reported his clan at the entrance of the city was not because he was foolish and clueless but because he came back for revenge. A Mo Clan¡¯s descendant came back for revenge. Mo Qi, who just came back to his senses, was so excited he couldn¡¯t stop trembling. There was finally someone other than himself to help avenge the Mo Clan and it wasn¡¯t just anyone but the young prefecture lord himself who managed to easily wipe out a number of the enemies. "Come out with me," Mo Wuji waved and said to the few people behind Mo Qi. Mo Qi and Co. subconsciously followed Mo Wuji out of the house. As they had been living underground for a long time, the sunlight outside of the house made them extremely uncomfortable. After witnessing Mo Wuji use his lightning bolt technique to kill an expert like Ju Han so easily, the soldiers outside were so dumbstruck that they momentarily forgot to surround and kill Mo Wuji. Or rather, they knew that an immortal master like Mo Wuji was not someone they were capable of killing. Mo Wuji flew and landed on the ruins of the door that Ju Han destroyed as he scanned across all the soldiers before saying, "My name is Mo Wuji, a descendant of the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord, Mo Tiancheng. The main intention of my trip back this time round was to avenge the Mo Clan. Soldiers, all of you were originally the Bright Tigers of my Northern Qin and will be the Bright Tigers of my Northern Qin in the future so why risk your life for a foreigner like that Ju guy?" After Mo Wuji¡¯s speech, the soldiers were even more resolute to not fight against Mo Wuji. Mo¡¯s Clan had been around in the Northern Qin for countless of years and was bound to still have some influence in this region. "Haha¡­The remnants of Mo Clan dare to subvert the Ju Clan¡¯s Northern Qin?" Sound of horses galloping could be heard as the one leading the pack was a huge red horse. "Young prefecture lord, that guy is Ju Hui," Mo Qi reacted the quickest as he warned Mo Wuji. He couldn¡¯t help but feel excited after witnessing how Mo Wuji easily killed Ju Han as well as hearing how strong an immortal master his young prefecture lord actually was. Ju Hui stop speaking abruptly as his face turned livid, "B*astard, how dare you kill my¡­" Before he could finish his sentence, Ju Hui stopped as he was feeling so infuriated his whole body started to quiver. Up till now, he only had two sons and one of them was slightly incapable. He only had Ju Han, who not only had spiritual roots, but was also extremely decisive when doing work. He was the hope and future of the Ju Clan. He would never have expected himself to see the headless corpse of the future of Ju Clan here. Wrong, not headless but a head smashed to its core. "Chop him up into minced meat¡­" Ju Hui clenched his teeth as he shouted. The army of soldiers behind him immediately took out their spears and started surrounding Mo Wuji. Chapter 204: Situ Qian’s Banquet Chapter 204: Situ Qian¡¯s Banquet Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - Mo Wuji lifted his hand and shot out tens of Lightning Flash. The lightning bolts exploded within the army battalion; any soldier touched by that lightning did not even have any chance of living. "Immortal master, that¡¯s an exalted immortal master¡­" The soldiers at the front started getting agitated, the formations were disordered and some soldiers even secretly retreated backwards. Ju Hui saw Mo Wuji¡¯s fatal move and his heart went cold. He knew who had come. [1] Not long ago, he had received the invitation to Situ Qian¡¯s banquet. To pull their relations closer, Situ Qian had been especially courteous and thoughtful towards Ju Hui. This was because the Ju Clan had produced a Heaven Seeking Palace inner disciple, Ju Qijian. It was also because of Ju Qijian, that Ju Hui found out from Situ Qian that there was still a loose fish from the Mo Clan, Mo Wuji. This Mo Wuji had some good luck and actually ended up as an outer disciple in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Seeing the person in front of him sending bolts after bolts of lightning, Ju Hui was definite that this was the Mo Clan¡¯s remnant, Mo Wuji. "Brave man of the Northern Qin, there¡¯s no need to fear him, my Ju Clan also has an immortal master¡­" Ju Hui cried out hoarsely. He wanted to control his army formations. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he would be temporarily trapped if he was surrounded by thousands of soldiers. This would give Ju Hui some time to escape. Before he could finish his words, a lightning bolt exploded upon his chest. Ju Hui words came to an abrupt stop, he lowered his head to stare blankly at the huge hole of blood on his chest. Seconds later, he collapsed onto the ground. "Boom boom boom boom¡­" Consecutive shots of lightning bombarded the area around Ju Hui. No one around Ju Hui were spared, they were all killed by Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash. Following the deaths of Ju Hui and the experts around him, the soldiers were instantly filled with an unrestrained restlessness. Mo Wuji suddenly called out loudly, "From now on, the Northern Qin throne will be succeeded by the Mo Clan¡¯s Mo Qi. Anyone willing to work hard with the Mo Clan for Northern Qin, please move to behind Mo Qi, and wait for the change of the throne. Those unwilling to work with the Mo Clan, leave Luo An City, or be killed without mercy. Mo Qi, step forward!" "Yes!" Ever since Mo Qi discovered that Mo Wuji was an immortal master, he had a feeling that the young prefecture lord wouldn¡¯t continue to stay on as the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord. Now that Mo Wuji had called for him, he immediately stood forward. "Northern Qin¡¯s Bright Tiger Soldiers, Ju Hui stole my Mo Clan¡¯s throne, and now, he has been dealt with by my Mo Clan¡¯s immortal master. I, Mo Qi, will uphold upon the words of the Mo Clan¡¯s immortal master, to accept the Northern Qin throne. Anyone willing to follow me to march to the Northern Qin Palace, stand behind me. After the Northern Qin Prefecture restores, you will be the greatest followers of our prefecture, the heroes who will bring back the glory to Northern Qin¡­" Mo Qi spoke with fervour and passion, clearly, this wasn¡¯t a hastily cobbled speech. Ostensibly, when he chose to conceal himself within the Northern Qin Prefecture, he had the intentions of regaining the Northern Qin throne. Ten well-built men stood behind him, adding on to his imposing aura. Mo Wuji nodded. Aggressiveness is good. A king without aggression, that was the bad thing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Northern Qin returning to the Mo Clan was already set in stone. Even an expert like Ju Hui was like an ant in front of the Mo Clan¡¯s immortal master. Furthermore, many of soldiers here originally served under the Mo Clan. Now, they were simply returning back; no one expressed any form of dissent. One could say that the Mo Clan had already wrested back the Northern Qin Prefecture, all that¡¯s left was to occupy the Northern Qin Palace. "Ding Chengsheng from the Right Army, is willing to serve with the Mo Clan¡­" "The City Protecting Barrack¡¯s Fu Chang will serve with the Mo Clan to regain the Northern Qin Prefecture¡­" The various generals leading their armies all came one after another to pledge their allegiance. With the generals showing their support, the soldiers under them also came to stand behind Mo Qi. "Young prefecture lord, I will now bring the man to accept the Northern Qin Palace." Mo Qi bowed respectfully towards Mo Wuji, his pale white face was flushed with a red tinge of emotion. Ostensibly, he didn¡¯t expect to restore the Northern Qin throne back to the Mo Clan in just a single day. Mo Wuji nodded, "From now on, don¡¯t call me young prefecture lord. I¡¯m no longer the Northern Qin¡¯s young prefecture lord. You will lead Northern Qin, you are now the prefecture lord. You will now accept the Northern Qin throne, and pull those Ju weeds out from their roots. I will soon leave the Northern Qin Prefecture, I only hope that you can do one thing: Treat every citizen of the Northern Qin kindly, lower their taxes. If one day I come back and I discover that the lives of the Northern Qin citizens are worse than it is now, your head will be hanging outside the Luo An city gates." "Yes," Mo Qi responded, with a little fear in his heart. At the same time, he swore to govern Northern Qin better than it was now. The young prefecture lord had entrusted him with the throne, he definitely wouldn¡¯t let the young prefecture lord down. "Carry on." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t only see the wildness in Mo Qi, but also a dignified attitude. Mo Qi waved his hand, leading the army to charge towards Northern Qin Palace. With Mo Wuji, this immortal master, he did not need to occupy the various palace gates. He would just take the most direct method and charge straight to the palace. Mo Wuji did not follow after; Ju Clan¡¯s Ju Hui had already been killed, the Northern Qin returning to the Mo Clan was already an unalterable fact. There definitely wouldn¡¯t be any form of resistance. He was also sure that the entire Ju Clan would be destroyed. He was no longer that hothead he once was; he had already got used to things here. Here, blood must be repaid with blood. There were no morals in such matters. Mo Wuji also didn¡¯t leave Luo An immediately; this matter had not been settled. If he didn¡¯t kill Ju Qijian, Mo Qi¡¯s reign over the throne wouldn¡¯t last. He did not know where Ju Qijian was, but Mo Wuji was sure that with the extermination of the Ju Clan, Ju Qijian was sure to come. Just as Mo Wuji was considering where he could undergo some closed door cultivation as he awaited Ju Qijian¡¯s arrival, Mo Qi hastily brought a team of people to find him. Mo Wuji stared quizzically at Mo Qi¡¯s urgency, "You¡¯re a prefecture lord, and now¡¯s the key moment to regain the Northern Qin throne. Why did you come find me?" "Reporting to Supreme Emperor. I¡¯m sure that will be no problems encountered to regain the Northern Qin throne. But I just received some important news, the Ju Clan has an immortal master who had received Situ Qian¡¯s invitation. He is currently in Rao Zhou," Mo Qi said reverently. I¡¯ve actually become the Supreme Emperor? As Mo Wuji thought about how Mo Qi¡¯s age was bigger than his, his mouth could not help but twitch a few times. This question was immediately cast aside, "You¡¯re sure Ju Clan¡¯s immortal master is in Rao Zhou?" "Yes, he is definitely in Rao Zhou. I believe that Rao Zhou will soon receive the news about Luo An," Mo Qi said resolutely. Mo Wuji nodded his head in approval; Mo Qi had temporarily given up on his most important manner to deliver this report to Mo Wuji. One, was because of his humble attitude. Two, Mo Qi was also very sure that once Ju Qijian comes to Northern Qin, if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t here, everything he was doing was simply constructing buildings in the air. "I understand. You don¡¯t need to worry about the revival of the Ju Clan. Accept the Northern Qin with a peace of mind, and govern Northern Qin well." Mo Wuji answered, He estimated that he would not take to long to get to Rao Zhou with his flying car. "Yes, does the Supreme Emperor have anything else?" Mo Qi¡¯s eyes flashed with glee, and he bowed down even lower. After a brief moment of silence, Mo Wuji said, "As I said previously, lower the taxes. The citizens¡¯ happiness is the real happiness. Also, if I must give another bit of advice, I would advice the advancement of technology. Other states do not value technological talent, so you can use some effort to pull them over. At the same time, revamp the education system. Teach children to learn about technology starting from preschool." "Mo Qi understands." Mo Qi hurriedly replied. Originally, he was intending to be like many other prefectures in Cheng Yu State. Expand the production of ores and herbs, thereafter, use the gold to purchase large scale arrays, flying beast carriages, etc. Now, Mo Wuji had suggested the advancement of technology, so he decided to listen to the Supreme Emperor. This prefecture lord position was given to him by Mo Wuji, so he would leave the Supreme Emperor¡¯s position to Mo Wuji. If the Supreme Emperor¡¯s descendants were to return, he would immediately hand over the throne. ¡­ Ever since the meeting with the Xing Han Emperor, Situ Qian was always filled with worry. He never expected for Mo Tiancheng¡¯s grandson to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace. The Heaven Seeking Palace, to a state lord like him, was simply something from legends. Fortunately, there was also some good news. The Ju Clan, which he supported, also had someone in the Heaven Seeking Palace, and an inner disciple at that. According to Ju Qijian, that Mo Wuji should be merely a Spirit Building cultivator, there was no need for him to worry. Even so, Situ Qian¡¯s heart was restless. Ever since he returned, he was especially courteous towards the State Protector. The Cheng Yu State Protector was an Yuan Dan Stage expert. He shouldn¡¯t face any difficulty with that Spirit Building Mo Wuji, right? ¡­ Rao Zhou City, Cheng Yu State, the Royal Palace. At this moment, Situ Qian was hosting the State Protector, Zhu Kaifu, as well as Ju Qijian, who had received his invitation to Rao Zhou. With Ju Qijian¡¯s arrival, Situ Qian could finally be at ease. As long as Ju Qijian states his identity, his Cheng Yu State Protector, Zhu Kaifu, would not need to be afraid of Mo Wuji¡¯s position as a Heaven Seeking Palace disciple. "The Heaven Seeking Palace has always been an existence of my reverence. To be able to sit together and drink with a Heaven Seeking Palace inner disciple, is my, Zhu Kaifu¡¯s, honour. Let me give a toast to Senior Ju!" Zhu Kaifu stood up and lifted his cup, speaking with a formal tone. Don¡¯t see him merely as an Yuan Dan Level 1, Earth Realm cultivator. He was an existence which was even above the state lord. But in front of a Heaven Seeking Palace disciple, he had to be courteous. Ju Qijian laughed, "Master Zhu, please take a seat. Talking about it, a branch of my Ju Clan is in the Northern Qin Prefecture, so there are things I will need to rely on Master Zhu. Let¡¯s not be overly formal." Zhu Kaifu patted his chest, "Rest assured Senior Ju. The Northern Qin Ju Clan¡¯s business, will be my, Zhu Kaifu¡¯s, business." Even though Ju Qijian¡¯s age was much smaller than his, and he heard from Situ Qian that Ju Qijian¡¯s cultivation was also lower than his, Zhu Kaifu still chose to call him "Senior Ju". "Good." Ju Qijian downed his cup of wine. Thereafter, he continued, "Master Zhu doesn¡¯t need to worry about that measly outer disciple. He is merely an ant at the Spirit Building Stage. If he does come over, Master Zhu can just go ahead and kill him. I, Ju Qijian, will take responsibility." [1] The Grim Reaper has arrived HAHA Chapter 205: I’m Already Here Chapter 205: I¡¯m Already Here Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Many thanks Senior Ju." Zhu Kaifu hurried to express his thanks. In all honesty, he was not afraid of Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities exceeding his. The only thing he was worried about was Mo Wuji¡¯s identity as a Heaven Seeking Palace disciple. As a rogue cultivator at the Yuan Dan Stage, the Heaven Seeking Palace could casually issue a bounty mission and he wouldn¡¯t even last a month. "Come, everyone drink up. This is the best wine in my Cheng Yu State¡­" Situ Qian lifted his wine cup up relaxedly; he could finally be at ease. "Lord, there¡¯s an urgent message¡­" A woman hastily walked in and passed a letter to Situ Qian. When Situ Qian saw the red seal on the letter, his hand started to tremble, almost dropping his wine cup onto the ground. A letter sealed in red represented a state¡¯s most urgent news. It was only with such a letter, that his underlings would rush in without even greeting him. "I understand, you can take your leave." Situ Qian immediately regained his calm. He thought about how he had the Heaven Seeking Palace inner disciple, Ju Qijian, here. What was there to worry? Ju Qijian and Zhu Kaifu had very calm expressions on their face. To cultivators like them, even Cheng Yu State¡¯s most important state affair did not mean much to them. Even if an army had marched right outside Rao Zhou, it wasn¡¯t even worth mentioning in front of them. Situ Qian opened the letter; when he saw the contents inside, his hand trembled agitatedly, causing the filled wine cup which he just placed on the table to flip onto the ground. "Dingdang!" The wine cup shattered. Wine spilled everywhere. "State Lord Situ, as the lord of a state, you should have an unmovable and indifferent countenance," Ju Qijian said with a frown. In all honesty, he really did not put a state lord in his eyes. The reason why he was here, wasn¡¯t because of Situ Qian¡¯s face, but because his Ju Clan was in Situ Qian¡¯s territory. But when he saw how Situ Qian couldn¡¯t even retain his composure, he suspected whether it was too much to even give this bit of face. Situ Qian hurriedly passed the letter in his hand to Ju Qijian as he quivered, "Immortal Master Qijian¡­ That Mo Clan¡¯s leftover evil has killed his way to Northern Qin¡¯s Luo An City. The Luo An Ju Clan has been exterminated, and the Northern Qin has returned back to the Mo¡­" "What?" Ju Qijian¡¯s brows twitched, he suddenly stood up and slapped the table in front of him. The exquisite white jade table, under his slap, directly turned into the dust. He did not even bother to look at the letter Situ Qian passed to him. "Mo fella, just you wait¡­" Ju Qijian said through gritted teeth, Thereafter, he glared at Situ Qian, "How long did it take for this letter to come from Luo An?" With the Ju Clan destroyed, Ju Qijian did not continue showing face to Situ Qian. Facing Ju Qijian, this pugnacious person, Situ Qian did not dare dawdle and said hastily, "This letter was sent on a flying beast carriage, it only took half a day to arrive." Ju Qijian said said coldly, "Looks like he has yet to leave Luo An. I will head to Luo An right now. If he dares to leave, I will exterminate each and every single person in Luo An." "Ah¡­" Hearing Ju Qijian¡¯s intention to kill a city of people, Situ Qian¡¯s heart started pounding heavily, but he did not dare refute Ju Qijian¡¯s words. Zhu Kaifu originally intended to please Ju Qijian and follow Ju Qijian to Luo An, but when he heard of Ju Qijian¡¯s intended massacre of the Luo An citizens, he immediately shut his mouth. Ju Qijian might do such foolish things in his frustrations, but Zhu Kaifu did not have any intentions to follow him to his death. Cultivators might seem like a lofty existence in the mortal world, but if one truly rampaged within the mortal world, there would definitely be consequences. Zhu Kaifu was sure that even if Ju Qijian was from the Heaven Seeking Palace, he would not come to a good end. Seeing that Zhu Kaifu did not express any intentions to follow Ju Qijian to Luo An, Situ Qian inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that with both Ju Qijian and Zhu Kaifu gone, Mo Wuji might take the opportunity to come over. Then, he would be dead. "Boom!" A violent sound of an explosion could be heard. Even the floors started trembling. Ju Qijian and the others hurried to stick to the side. "Hualala¡­" Countless building dregs and destroyed wood blocks came coming down. A huge hole appeared on the Cheng Yu State¡¯s magnificent royal palace. Following the earth shaking tremble, the palace came crashing down. Countless calls for help could be heard as many guards rushed to run out of the palace. A young man donned in blue linen robes stood on top of a large pillar in front of the state lord¡¯s residences, staring at Ju Qijian and co. His hands were empty, and it was unknown what he used to destroy the palace. "Ju Qijian, what a small world ah. I believe that you should have already heard the news? Were you on your way to Luo An? You see, you don¡¯t need to make that trip. I¡¯m already here." The young man stared at Ju Qijian, his hands were behind his back, and his voice sounded especially sarcastic. "Mo Wuji¡­" The dust covered Situ Qian blurted out. His entire body was trembling, it was unknown whether it was out of anger, or out of fear. When Zhu Kaifu heard "Mo Wuji" those three words, he immediately knew who had arrived. Mo Wuji¡¯s did not exude any form of spirituality, but as he stood atop that large cylindrical pillar, he gave Zhu Kaifu the feeling that he should not be offended. The blue robed youth was Mo Wuji. After getting news that Ju Qijian was here, he did not stop and immediately rushed over. Only by killing Ju Qijian, that he could leave this place at ease. As for the Cheng Yu State¡¯s royal palace, naturally, it was destroyed by his Tian Ji Pole. Previously, when he was almost killed by Situ Qian here, he swore that he would return and destroy this palace. Today, he finally got this desire out of his chest. He did not wish to reveal his Tian Ji Pole, so after destroying the palace, he kept his Tian Ji Pole. "Mo fella, see who will save you from me today¡­" Ju Qijian striked out with his long sword. A sword flower emerged which slashed through the pillar Mo Wuji was standing on. Mo Wuji had long landed far away. He did say anything and immediately started to rush out of Rao Zhou. With Ju Qijian¡¯s pride, he would definitely come chasing after. He was not willing to fight in Rao Zhou. Firstly, if the two of them fought here, countless of innocent lives would be lost. Secondly, his Tian Ji Pole must not be revealed in Rao Zhou. If it was seen, everyone would know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. He had the Yu Lin Lei Clan as an additional enemy, so he didn¡¯t want to let everyone know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. As expected, after Mo Wuji left the city, Ju Qijian did not hesitate to chase after him. Zhu Kaifu¡¯s face was calm; he did not follow Ju Qijian. Even though he was a rogue cultivator whose qualifications would never match up to Ju Qijian, the things he experienced far exceeded Ju Qijian. The moment he saw Mo Wuji, he had a sense of dread in his heart. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body did not exude any spirituality, he did not believe that Mo Wuji was merely at the Spirit Building Stage. A Spirit Building Stage cultivator dared to call Ju Qijian out of the city. Was he mad? Turning to face Situ Qian¡¯s unstable face, Zhu Kaifu suddenly said, "Lord, there¡¯s no need to worry. Senior Ju is an expert from the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s inner sect. Killing a mere outer disciple is as easy as flipping his palm. I will stay here to protect the lord, so that fella wouldn¡¯t be able to sneak back and do anything to you." Situ Qian¡¯s expression turned for the better, "Many thanks State Protector." Zhu Kaifu smiled faintly. He made a decision in his heart, if he did not see Ju Qijian in an hour, he would immediately leave Rao Zhou and Cheng Yu State. He would go as far as he needed to. With his experience and foresight, if Mo Wuji was truly as weak as they say, then Ju Qijian would definitely be able to kill Mo Wuji within an hour. If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t killed in an hour,it would mean that Mo Wuji was not weaker than Ju Qijian. If that were the case, it didn¡¯t matter who was victorious. He did not wish to tread on this muddy water and would rather go as far as possible. As a State Protector, he only got to experience some mortal pleasures and a few rare cultivation resources. A mere Situ Qian was not worth his life. ¡­ Mo Wuji finally stopped in a forest outside of Rao Zhou. After being plotted against on Earth, this was the hill he appeared at when he woke up. The hill was still here, but the Yan¡¯Er who called him "King" and protected him was not. "So you chose this place as your grave?" Ju Qijian landed not far from Mo Wuji, his tone was cold. Mo Wuji stared at Ju Qijian and said calmly, "This won¡¯t be my grave, but yours. Ever since I left this place, I always thought that this place would be nicer if something was buried under it. Today, that would finally happen." "Ha ha¡­." Ju Qijian laughed hysterically. Thereafter, his entire body beamed with energy, a huge pressure came bounding towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt this immense energy and his brows furrowed, "I didn''t expect that you actually advanced into the Earth Realm and cultivated into Yuan Dan Stage Level 1." The longsword on Ju Qijian''s back flew in the air in an arc and landed in his hand, "You guessed correctly. Is this out of your calculations? Are you scared? I guessed that with your balls to lure me here, you must have advanced into the Transcending Mortality Stage? A trashy spiritual roots like you actually advanced into the Transcending Mortality Stage, you must have obtained something that''s not simple ah. You don''t have to tell me anything, I will find it myself... from your corpse¡­" With that, the sword in Ju Qijian¡¯s hands formed sheet after sheet of sword screens which were sent flying towards Mo Wuji. Ju Qijian¡¯s entire body seemed to rise together with the sword screen, soaring into the sky. "After you''re dead, I will find someone to join you in your fate. He''s a state protector, so you don''t have to be worried that no one will join you on your road to the Yellow Springs [1]..." Ever since Zhu Kaifu didn¡¯t follow over, Ju Qijian developed a killing intent towards him. Zhu Kaifu dared to play this kind of tricks behind his back? A trivial Yuan Dan Stage cultivator was nothing in the eyes of him - an inner disciple at the Heaven Seeking Palace. "Sword art? I know one too." Mo Wuji raised his hand; Mo Wuji clearly didn¡¯t have any sword in his hand, but he shot out trails of sword light. These sword light slashed against Ju Qijian¡¯s sword screen, shredding the flawless sword screen, directly dispersing it. "What sword art is that?" Ju Qijian saw the empty-handed Mo Wuji and he was left aghast. His sword screen was part of a sword art, and the sword screen was merely a feint. He didn¡¯t expect that before his sword art was fully exhibited, it was destroyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s empty hands. That''s not right! Ju Qijian suddenly thought of another matter. Mo Wuji should have just advanced into the Transcending Mortality Stage, and should only be at Level 1. Even if he specially trained in the sword, he shouldn¡¯t be strong enough to display it in front of me. [1] The Yellow Springs are the Underworld of Chinese Mythology Chapter 206: Extreme Mortal Versus The Yuan Dan Chapter 206: Extreme Mortal Versus The Yuan Dan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "I heard it''s called the Invisible Sword, I inherited this sword art by chance. I was bored, so I decided to play around with it," After Mo Wuji answered, he wielded his Tian Ji Pole and released floods of elemental energy which covered the sky, surging towards Ju Qijian. At this moment, why would Ju Qijian even bother about Mo Wuji''s sword art? With a twist of his longsword, his entire body plunged down from the sky, his sword cleaved towards Mo Wuji. The reason why cultivating the sword was so popular was because the sword was ethereal and agile. The moment a sword art was developed, it would trump even the greatest of magic treasures. Be it the sword radiance, sword screen, sword rain or sword qi, extremely few people would use the sword to cleave the enemy. Mo Wuji had met quite a number of experts of the sword and experienced various forms of the sword, be it the sword radiance, sword screen, sword rain or sword qi. However, he met few who would treat the sword like an axe and used the sword to cleave the enemy. Extreme measures were sure to have extreme power. Mo Wuji became even more serious. "Hong¡­" Ju Qijian¡¯s longsword cleaved through the air, forming an incredibly life-like and immense sword shadow. The sword shadow crashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole, exploding into a sky-covering sword radiance. What left Mo Wuji stunned was that after his Tian Ji Pole blew the sword shadow up into this boundless sword radiance, the sword radiance¡¯s might did not diminish a single bit as it sailed through the sky towards Mo Wuji. The sword shadow¡¯s raging elemental energy had already caused Mo Wuji to constantly take steps back, but as this omnipresent sword radiance expanded to cover the sky, Mo Wuji was unable to avoid the blows. In his urgency, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole sent out one pole shadow after another; the boundless sword radiance crashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s pole shadow. However, as the sword radiance sailed by, its power did not seem to wane. Mo Wuji knew, this sword radiance would soon get past his Tian Ji Pole and strike against his body. This sword art of Ju Qijian was extremely strong, and especially peculiar. It was like a loach, relentlessly homing onto Mo Wuji. Ju Qijian saw the flustering Mo Wuji and his lips curved into a smirk. The longsword in his hand sent out more slashes of sword radiance. Together with his sword, he charged towards Mo Wuji. His previous sword act was called the Inextinguishable Sword Radiance. Besides bearing the brunt of the attack, there was no other way for Mo Wuji to deal with that sword art. The Inextinguishable Sword Radiance could not be blocked, unless Mo Wuji¡¯s power was far above his. From Mo Wuji''s appearance, he could tell that Mo Wuji was unable to defend against his Inextinguishable Sword Radiance. As long as Mo Wuji was injured by his Inextinguishable Sword Radiance, his following move would be fatal. Mo Wuji, with his trashy spiritual roots, actually advanced into the Earth Realm. This was simply hitherto unheard of. Thus, he used his most powerful technique so as to get rid of Mo Wuji in the shortest time possible. Thereafter, he would search Mo Wuji''s body for what secrets lay within. "Honghonghong¡­" Explosion after explosion boomed underneath Mo Wuji''s feet, countless of sword radiance shot into the ground. As the sword radiance were sent into the ground, they burst into lines of sword intent, completely shredding Mo Wuji¡¯s pants. At the same time, lacerating Mo Wuji¡¯s legs, forming intersecting grooves of blood. Using the Revolving Star Passage Technique to shift Ju Qijian''s Inextinguishable Sword Radiance to the ground, Mo Wuji no longer retreated, and even started to move towards the oncoming charge of Ju Qijian. "Dangdang! Pu Pu¡­" The Tian Ji Pole landed on the sword radiance; a few streams of sword radiance were not dispersed and shot through Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. At the same time, a sudden electroball crashed against Ju Qijian¡¯s lower body. "Hong!" The electroball violently exploded, Ju Qijian¡¯s entire body was lifted off the ground, some of his guts and fresh blood landed on the ground. "Katong!" Ju Qijian collapsed onto the ground. His lower body and a good half of his right leg was blasted off, even his intestines were exposed and left flailing out of his abdomen. The bloodied Ju Qijian trembled and pointed towards Mo Wuji. He thought that Mo Wuji was sure to die, but not only didn''t Mo Wuji die, Mo Wuji even counter attacked and maimed him. He was truly intrigued, how did Mo Wuji avoid his Inextinguishable Sword Radiance? Even if it was someone with a higher cultivation than him, they might not be able to dodge it. Mo Wuji''s chest was also stained red with blood. He left traces of blood as he walked one step at a time towards Ju Qijian. Using the Revolving Star Passage Technique to luckily avoid Ju Qijian¡¯s Inextinguishable Sword Radiance, Mo Wuji knew how impressive this sword art of Ju Qijian was. If he did not grasp the opportunity that Ju Qijian was fixed on him to surprise Ju Qijian with an electroball, he have been able to kill Ju Qijian today. "I understand, you''re Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­ That''s right, you are that 2705¡­" As he lay on the ground, Ju Qijian finally came to realise who Mo Wuji was as he thought: Isn''t that pole in his hands the symbol of Rogue Cultivator 2705? "That''s right, I am Rogue Cultivator 2705. And as I''ve said before, today, you shall be buried here," Mo Wuji raised the Tian Ji Pole in his hands. "Exactly how did you advance into the Yuan Dan Stage?" As he faced his impending doom, Ju Qijian was thoroughly unwilling to accept it. Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole stopped in midair; with his other hand, he wiped off a trail of blood from his lips as he said, "I appreciate the question. I''m a person who loves learning. As a cultivator, one should also learn and ask from others when they don''t understand something. So I will answer your question, I have not entered the Yuan Dan Stage." "That''s impossible¡­" Ju Qijian cried out hoarsely, he refused to believe that Mo Wuji had yet to enter the Yuan Dan Stage, "No Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator is able to kill me¡­" Ju Qijian had a savage expression on his face; the longsword was still in his hands. As long as Mo Wuji comes closer, he would pull Mo Wuji down to hell with him. However, his previous sentence was truly what he thought in his heart. The difference between the Mortal Realm and the Earth Realm is a different as the Heaven and the Earth. He absolutely could not believe that someone at the Transcending Mortality Stage could heavily injure, and even almost kill him. Even among other cultivators in the same stage, he, Ju Qijian, was confident that he was above average. The pole descended and Mo Wuji''s voice followed, "Because I''m an Extreme Mortal at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12¡­" Ju Qijian was astounded by the phrase "Extreme Mortal". Deep in his heart, he believed Mo Wuji¡¯s words; Mo Wuji was very likely to be in the Extreme Mortal Stage. But since when was there a Level 12? Tian Ji Pole descended; the sword radiance was about to explode. Before he died, Ju Qijian struck out with one final move. He was waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s pole. At that instant, he burned his life force to form countless sword radiance which would wrap around Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole, before invading into Mo Wuji¡¯s body. The Tian Ji Pole suddenly stopped in midair. "Hong!" A bolt of lightning exploded against Ju Qijian¡¯s chest. Ju Qijian coughed out mouthfuls of blood; this blood wasn¡¯t due to Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash but his anger. He pointed towards Mo Wuji. How could there be such a despicable person? His sword radiance had yet to fully condense and immediately dispersed by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. At the next instant, Ju Qijian fully collapsed onto the ground, without a hint of life. "I never trust a living enemy¡­" Mo Wuji properly swung his Tian Ji Pole this time, shattering Ju Qijian¡¯s skull. Finally, Mo Wuji could take a light breath. He had never liked talking nonsense when facing his enemies. The reason why he stopped and talked those crap, was because he sensed an intense danger from Ju Qijian. Ju Qijian was too hard to deal with. Ostensibly, when an Extreme Mortal Stage cultivator fights against a Yuan Dan Stage Level 1 cultivator, he was not able to overwhelm the enemy, and could only barely manage to defeat him. Mo Wuji walked over and collected Ju Qijian¡¯s storage bag and longsword. He suddenly felt his insufficiencies; his only impressive move was his Lightning Flash. His proficiency over the Tian Ji Pole was only elementary, he did not even have a complete set of pole techniques. This time around, he needed to properly learn the Seven Styles Lightning Sky¡¯s second style. And at the same time, he had to find some ways to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. Of course, the best solution was to find some powerful skills to improve his power. The Revolving Star Passage Technique was not bad, it was able to save him at the critical moment. According to Yan Qianyin, it was a sacred technique. It looks like he should continue with this technique and get to the second level. ... Outside the Cheng Yu State Royal Palace, the soldiers had started to clear the ruins up. Situ Qian stood atop his destroyed palace, his heart uneasy. "State Protector, Immortal Master Qijian is from the Heaven Seeking Palace inner sect¡­" Situ Qian¡¯s words were cut short. When he turned back, how could State Protector Zhu Kaifu still be there? Situ Qian¡¯s face turned pale white; his face was originally white, but it became an even wretched shade of white. He definitely did not believe that Zhu Kaifu would go to help Ju Qijian, and now that Zhu Kaifu had disappeared without a sound. He did not even bid farewell. There was only one possibility: the State Protector did not believe that Ju Qijian was able to kill Mo Wuji, so he stealthily sneaked away. "Quick, call Duke Han¡­" Situ Qian screamed hoarsely. Even if his last possession was a piece of straw, he would hold it tightly in his hand. Han Chengan had previously saved Mo Wuji from his hands. Then, he felt extremely dissatisfied towards Mo Wuji, but now, he could only beg Han Chengan to help him. "Lord, the old duke is here." Han Chengan¡¯s voice came over; the Cheng Yu State Royal Palace had been destroyed, how could he not come? He wasn¡¯t the only one who came, many of the other dukes and officials of Cheng Yu State had also arrived. "Situ Qian, that fly has been driven off. We can finally have a good talk," The voice of the devil had arrived. Situ Qian¡¯s knees instantly went weak as he collapsed onto the ground. Seeing Han Chengan, Mo Wuji hurried to bow towards him, "Mo Wuji greets Old Duke Han." "You are?" Han Chengan felt that Mo Wuji looked a little familiar, but Mo Wuji was currently covered in blood, so he wasn¡¯t able to recognise him immediately. Furthermore, his heart was still shaken at the face that this man dared to call out the state lord¡¯s great name, If not for Han Chengan speaking up for him, Mo Wuji would have long been killed by Situ Qian. At the same time, if Han Chengan didn¡¯t take him in, he would have been killed by Ju Clan¡¯s men. It was because of this, he tried his best to help Han Ning despite the poor treatment he received from her. "You¡¯re the Northern Qin Mo Tiancheng¡¯s grandson, that Mo Wuji¡­" Han Chengan finally recognised Mo Wuji, and he continued to ask with greater astonishment, "Didn¡¯t you follow my Ning¡¯Er to Chang Luo¡¯s Spring Immortal¡¯s Gate Conference? Ning¡¯Er tells me she is doing well, do you know where she is now?" Even though Han Ning said she was an inner disciple at an Earth sect, it was impossible to casually leave the sect to return to Cheng Yu State. Even if she reached the Spirit Building Stage, it was extremely difficult for her to make trips back with this extremely long journey. Chapter 207: Granny Linglong On The Run Chapter 207: Granny Linglong On The Run Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "I believe Miss Ning is probably very tight on her schedule for cultivation. Hence, unable to find time to come back," Mo Wuji could only find a reason to answer. "Immortal Master Mo, the other time at An Yang, I really wanted to speak to you. Oh yes, regarding the Northern Qin matter, I did intend to return the throne to Mo Clan when I return however, that Ju Qijian was too rude¡­" Situ Qian hurried over with a flattery face when he saw Mo Wuji conversing with Han Chengan. Han Chengan, who was initially still hung up over his daughter, had a sudden realisation. The Mo Wuji in front of him addressed Situ Qian by his name the moment he saw Situ Qian yet Situ Qian did not lash out and him and even took the initiative to flatter him. Additionally, Situ Qian addressed him as an immortal master. Could it be that Mo Wuji really possessed the qualities to cultivate and had become a true immortal master? "Shut your trap," Mo Wuji grunted coldly before interrupting Situ Qian¡¯s words. Han Chengan would have wasted his entire life if he still didn¡¯t know what was happening. The situation was very explicit: Mo Clan¡¯s descendant is back for revenge. Very quickly, he understood why Situ Qian was rushing to find him. This was because Han Chengan was the only one who Mo Wuji held gratitude towards and Situ Qian would naturally plead him to save himself. This put Han Chengan in a very difficult spot because Mo Wuji was indeed indebted to him but that was only because it was done at his own convenience. Now that the Mo Clan had such animosity towards Situ Qian, how should he help? Simultaneously, Han Chengan understood why the Cheng Yu State Royal Palace was in such a mess as it was evidently destroyed by Mo Wuji himself. This was indeed the classic case of staying on the good side of people because you¡¯ll never know when you need them. No one could be sure of the future so one should never be too vicious in whatever they do. A few dukes standing beside Han Chengan also realised what was happening and that Mo Wuji was a descendant of the Northern Qin Prefecture¡¯s Lord, Mo Tiancheng. Now that Mo Wuji became an immortal master, he had to seek this revenge himself. "Situ Qian, where did my grandfather go and why did he disappear the moment he reach Rao Zhou?" Mo Wuji glared at Situ Qian and questioned him directly. Situ Qian glanced at Han Chengan for a moment before bowing and said, "Immortal Master Mo, Lord Tiancheng had indeed visited Rao Zhou once but he only came to show his face before leaving. It was only after a period of time that I found out he didn¡¯t return to Luo An and as for his whereabouts afterwards, I really had no idea at all." He wasn¡¯t lying when he said this. Even though he managed to prevent Mo Guangyuan from ascending to the Northern Qin Prefecture¡¯s throne, he really did not directly harm any members of the Mo Clan. Mo Guangyuan was not allowed to leave Rao Zhou City because of Ju Caiyun and all he did was observed. Looking at the killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, Han Chengan knew that he was definitely not satisfied with Situ Qian¡¯s answer and was about to do something to him. He hurried to say, "Pill Master Mo, I can guarantee his honesty in this case as Lord Situ really had no idea where Lord Tiancheng went after leaving Rao Zhou. He also did not restrict Lord Tiancheng¡¯s movements and as for the fact that he was trapped in Rao Zhou, Ju Caiyun was fully responsible for it." "Ju Caiyun had already left for Luo An and is no longer here at Rao Zhou City," Situ Qian added as he heard Han Chengan helping him. Han Chengan bowed respectfully, "I do hope Pill Master Mo could let Situ Qian off this time for my sake." He didn¡¯t address Situ Qian as the lord as he was afraid he might trigger Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji frowned momentarily as he actually did believe that Han Chengan could not possibly be lying to him. He wasn¡¯t worried about Ju Caiyun leaving for Luo An because he knew that she was destined for death anyway. Previously, Han Chengan spoke up for Mo Wuji to save his life from Situ Qian. Presently, Han Chengan was speaking up for Situ Qian to save his life from Mo Wuji and this made Mo Wuji a little troubled. In his views, the best move was to get rid of Situ Qian to kick the Situ Clan off the throne. "Pill Master Mo, as long as I¡¯m still in Cheng Yu State, I promise to make the Northern Qin Prefecture great again¡­" Situ Qian, who was standing by the side, noticed that Mo Wuji was frowning so he said that in a hurry. He was worried Mo Wuji might suddenly make his move and kill him. Even though it would be illegal for an immortal master to kill a country¡¯s lord, the punishment that he would face would neither hurt nor itch. Furthermore, Mo Wuji was a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace hence, he might not even get punished. While Mo Wuji was still hesitating, something broke the silence above everyone¡¯s head. As the crowd lifted their head, they saw a swift flying magic treasure flying past. As the flying magic treasure flew at a low altitude, everyone could clearly recognise it as a flying ship. Mo Wuji could see things even clearer because of his spiritual will. There was a woman, who was severely injured with blood stains on her body, leaning on the front of the ship¡¯s deck. Mo Wuji not only recognised this woman but was extremely grateful towards her as well. She was the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda¡¯s Granny Linglong but how did she end up like that? Before everyone could react to the first flying ship, another flying ship as it flew above the crowd with a ¡®whoosh¡¯. Mo Wuji instantaneously had a sense that Granny Linglong was being chased down. How strong must this guy be to be able to chase after Granny Linglong? Seeing Granny Linglong escaping with someone hot on her heels, Mo Wuji no longer had the mood to rattle on with Situ Qian as he said with a serious tone, "Immediately send a message to the Heaven Seeking Palace to inform them that the Pill Pagoda¡¯s Granny Linglong is severely wounded and being chased after for her life. If you can do this well, it is not impossible for me to let you go this time round¡­" Mo Wuji said this in a hurry as he immediately retrieved his flying car and rushed into the clouds before disappearing in the direction where the two flying ships were headed for. After Mo Wuji left, Situ Qian finally managed to wipe his sweat on his forehead in this state of panic as he expressed his gratitude, "Old duke, if it was not for you this time, my life would¡­" Han Chenghan interrupted impatiently, "Lord, now is not the time to discuss about all these. Your first priority should be completing the task Pill Master Mo assigned you." "Yes, yes¡­" Situ Qian finally came to his sense. A national crisis was ultimately resolved unexpectedly by two flying ships flying past which made all the dukes secretly afraid. A plump man standing behind the crowd lowered his head as he slowly retreated but was recognised very quickly, "Rao Xianhou, you made such a huge mistake back then. If you didn¡¯t look down on the Mo Clan for being down and out, you could have been the father in law of pill master Mo." This fatty was Wen Manzhu¡¯s father, Rao Xianhou. Back then because the Mo Clan was living in poverty, he broke all ties and severed any relationship he had with his once good friend, Mo Guangyuan and the Mo Clan. Even though nothing in this world was impermanence, he would never have expected an upset young lord back then to appear as an immortal master now. One who knows nothing, fears nothing. This could very well be a fitting sentence to describe Rao Xianhou. ... Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car was a lot slower than the two flying magic treasures earlier on. Fortunately for his spiritual will, he was able to sense the changes and movements in the air. As long as he continued this method of following them, he would never lose them. Mo Wuji knew that he might not be of any help to Granny Linglong even if he did manage to catch up with them but after witnessing such incident, he simply couldn¡¯t just sit and watch the show. Granny Linglong was nothing like what people rumoured her to be: a person who had no regard for people¡¯s feelings. In fact, Mo Wuji even thought of her as a very reasonable person. Even though he had already exchanged an Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower for her to save Yan¡¯Er and a chance to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Wuji would never forget Granny Linglong¡¯s kindness. Now that Granny Linglong was in trouble, how could he sit back and relax? Mo Wuji had to sense the changes in the surrounding air and then simultaneously follow these changes to chase after the faster flying ships in front of him. Initially, Mo Wuji barely managed to find the correct direction but after a few days, he was no longer capable of following them. Furthermore, after continuously using his spiritual will to sense the changes in air movements for a few days, he started to feel extremely fatigue. After losing track of Granny Linglong, Mo Wuji continued searching for a couple of days before confirming that he lost her and eventually, had no choice but to give up. If that Situ Qian was afraid of dying, the message Mo Wuji sent out via him should have already been on its way to the Heaven Seeking Palace. Mo Wuji could only hope that the aid from the Heaven Seeking Palace would not be too late to save Granny Linglong. Whether it was for the sect or personal reasons, Mo Wuji hoped that Granny Linglong would be able to emerge safely out of danger. The moment something happened to Granny Linglong, Yan¡¯Er would lose both a mentor and a dependable friend. As for Yan¡¯Er¡¯s big senior apprentice sister, she still did not seem like a dependable person to Mo Wuji. Both her character and her strength were not something you could depend your life on. Back then in the Thunder Fog Forest, that big senior apprentice sister would have been dead if not for his appearance. Only after coming to a halt, Mo Wuji realised that he lost his directions. During the past few days of pursuit, he only cared about finding traces of the flying ships in front of him and didn¡¯t bother remembering his position. Now that he lost his directions without a map, he could only find and seek help from people. His surroundings were all wilderness but luckily, there was still a small path in this wilderness. As long as there was a path, Mo Wuji was not worried he could not find anyone. Following the small path, Mo Wuji walked for about half a day and still didn¡¯t meet a single soul. Just as Mo Wuji started having doubts on whether there was actually anybody around this region, he saw faint smoke rising into the clouds from far away. Mo Wuji sped up in a hurry, heading towards the direction of the smoke. After a full half an hour, Mo Wuji could finally see the position where the smoke was coming from. Before he could actually get close to it, there were around five to six men holding their weapons pointing at him from afar. These few people were wearing torn shirts stained with blood. Moreover, there were even a deep scar on the faces of two people. Mo Wuji guessed that this should be a squad of adventurers or a small group of mercenaries. "You guys don¡¯t have to be hostile as I¡¯m just a passer-by. I just happened to lose my way so I was wondering if you guys could tell me where I am now? It would be fantastic if you all had a map which I could purchase from you," Mo Wuji tried his best to speak politely. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words and then noticing how Mo Wuji didn¡¯t appear frightened, the armed men became slightly more relaxed. Chapter 208: Three Tender Hunters Chapter 208: Three Tender Hunters Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - A long-legged [1] woman dressed in red robes with a trident on her back stood forward; she glanced at Mo Wuji and sized him up before saying, "Friend, where are you heading?" Her robes were stained with blood, her neck also had a few scabs of blood. From the looks of it, she must have undergone several battles on her journey. Mo Wuji answered, "I¡¯m heading to Wu Xue Prefecture, do you know the way?" The woman pointed the the east, "Follow this direction and continuously walk straight. You will be able to reach Qian Tai State. From Qian Tai State, you will be able to find the maps to anywhere you want to go, and there will also be beast carriages for rent." "Then may I ask where are we at now?" Mo Wuji asked another question. The woman now pointed to the east, "Over there, is the Yu Guang State territory. This is the center of Qian Tai State and Yu Guang State, it¡¯s known as the Sick Woods." The woman seemed to be extremely clear of the surroundings and directions, and she seemed to be part of a mercenary group; Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded as he rushed to ask, "Have you heard of Wu Xue Prefecture?" "I¡¯ve been there before," The woman answered in an extremely simple manner. "I¡¯ve heard that Wu Xue Prefecture has a gang of horse bandits called the Black Tailed Bees, have you heard of that gang?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. The Black Tailed Bees were the ones who killed Leng Jingbei¡¯s entire family, and they were nested up in Wu Xue Prefecture. Leng Jingbei, Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong were together, and if they wanted to seek revenge, they would definitely go to the Wu Xue Prefecture to look for the Black Tailed Bees. "I don¡¯t know¡­" The woman grunted, turned and left; her face no longer had her previous calm. After the woman left, some of the members stared warily at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji immediately discerned that this woman must definitely be related to the Black Tailed Bees. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have displayed such an attitude. "That fella knows the Black Tailed Bees, should we get rid of him?" Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t follow after them, he heard someone whispering within the group. He had spiritual will, and his power far exceeded the other party; even though the other party was speaking extremely softly, the words weren¡¯t able to escape Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. "Let¡¯s not get new problems on our plate. Moreover, he called the the Black Tailed Bees, bandits. They shouldn¡¯t be from the same group." Another person added softly. "Hmph, the Black Tailed Bees are bandits." From the discussion, Mo Wuji could tell that this group had enmity towards the Black Tailed Bees. Just as Mo Wuji was about to step forward and explain that he also had a vengeance towards the Black Tailed Bees, he heard the rumble of beasts trampling against the ground. "Enemy!" A shrill voice shouted as two people on horses came rushing over. In an instant, they had reached the group. From the looks of it, these two must be the scouts of the group. Mo Wuji was secretly shocked; the appearance of those beasts came as a shock, even he had just heard of their arrival. No wonder why those two scouts didn¡¯t discover them sooner. "Hurry, let¡¯s go!" Including those who were cooking, everyone rushed to pick up their weapons and ran towards their lassoed mounts and a horse carriage. The few who were staring at Mo Wuji, did not continue to stare at him, but joined the rest to pack up. Mo Wuji was a little speechless; from afar, he could already see a row of man on horses racing over. By the time they frantically packed their stuff up, this group would already be surrounded. Taking a step back, even if they abandoned their belongings, would they actually escape these horse riders? "There¡¯s no need to pack up, form up¡­" The woman who first talked to Mo Wuji came to an understanding; this time around, they had discovered the enemy a little too late, there¡¯s already no hope of running. Just at the group formed up into the formations, the riders had already charged over. There were at least 30 to 40 riders. On the woman¡¯s side, including those two scouts, the group had a measly nine people. Furthermore, from Mo Wuji¡¯s view, all nine of them were injured. As the team of riders came over, they did not immediately rush to the front, but suddenly reined in their rides and stopped a few meters from the group of nine. "Hand the thing over." From the team, one of the horses strutted forward. The well-built rider stared at the woman and said coldly. Mo Wuji finally came to an understanding of the situation; the two parties must have been fighting for something, and this something ended up in the hands of the small group of nine. Now, this team of riders had chased over for that something. Mo Wuji did not know what these people were fighting for, nor did he care; he immediately turned and left. He did not intend to leave this place, but hide by the side and observe. "Kill him." What Mo Wuji did not expect was that the moment he turned, the rider that stood out from the group would roar out that command. Following that command, an arrow was shot over. Mo Wuji tilted his head; that arrow brushed across his ear. This arrow enraged Mo Wuji. If not for him tilting his head, that arrow would have bored into the back of his skull and emerge through his forehead. "I¡¯m not with them. Friend, to act so indiscriminately, shouldn¡¯t you give an explanation?" Mo Wuji turned over and his voice brought with it a hint of killing intent. If it was any other cultivator, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered asking this question and started the slaughter. Mo Wuji might have become a cultivator, but he wasn¡¯t used to such ruthless behaviour, to start killing and slaughtering without reason. "Ha Ha, you want our Wuchangwushuang to give you an explanation? Who cares if you¡¯re not with them? When our Wuchangwushuang men come over, our rule is that no one is to move. You have flouted our Wuchangwushuang rules. Everyone, let him know that our Wuchangwushuang rules are not to be randomly flouted¡­" The rider at the front chortled and waved his hand. This time around, it wasn¡¯t a single arrow, but a volley of 30 to 40 arrows shot towards Mo uji. Mo Wuji raised both his hand; these arrows were incomparably slow in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, all 30 plus arrows were in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. Before anyone could make sense of the situation, Mo Wuji swung both his hands, and all 30 plus arrows were thrown out. "Ah¡­.ah¡­ ah¡­." Tens of aggrieved voices were heard, followed by a thick fog of blood. 35 riders fell from their horses and collapsed onto the ground. Everyone of these riders had an arrow stuck on their forehead. Due to the collapse of their owners, the 30 plus horses started to get restless. However, these horses were clearly trained, as they immediately quelled their restlessness. The rider who stood forward was the only one left alive. He had a blank expression on his face as he turned and had a clear look of the fallen riders. Each of these riders had an arrow stuck on their heads, and the arrows were at the exact same position. He was instantly frozen in shock. The anxious group of nine were also shocked still. These 36 riders who could have easily ended their lives were turned into 35 corpses in a single breath, and the last one was too astounded to even react. Mo Wuji slowly walked to the rider who was still alive; his voice pulled the rider out of his astonishment and blankness, "What now? I flouted your Wuchangwushuang rules again." As he spoke, Mo Wuji swept his leg across, instantly shattering the legs of the horse this rider was on. The horse gave out a hoarse cry and fell to the ground. The rider also fell and was left sprawled on the ground. The rider was a tall and burly man, but he was left speechless. His previous arrogance and coldness seemed like a joke in this current situation. "Three Tender Hunters, Hua Xuan greets senior. Previously, I didn¡¯t recognise senior. I seek your forgiveness." The woman who gave Mo Wuji directions, but instantly turned away when Mo Wuji mentioned the Black Tailed Bees, hurried over and bowed to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji asked, "Three Tender Hunters, you¡¯re a group of adventurers?" Hua Xuan rushed to explain, "We can¡¯t be considered a group of adventurers, we could barely be considered mercenaries. Currently, we do some escort work." Mo Wuji nodded, "Then what is this Wuchangwushuang sh*t?" Hua Xuan explained seriously, "Wuchangwushuang is the Sick Woods¡¯ strongest mercenaries, or more accurately, they¡¯re a gang of horse bandits. Their leaders are a pair of brother-sister siblings, they¡¯re called Wuchang and Wushuang respectively. They have always been surviving in this land between Qian Tai State and Yu Guang State, and their strength is extremely high. At their peak, they at least have 10,000 horse riders. They run around rampant in these lands, committing all sorts of evil deeds and killing people like ants. At first, any merchant groups would be killed by Wuchangwushuang. But they changed their rules, any merchant groups who passed by the Sick Woods would have to surrender half of their goods. Anyone who resisted would be killed." Mo Wuji asked quizzically, "If that¡¯s the case, why haven¡¯t they been exterminated by the two states? Hua Xuan sighed, "It¡¯s because Wuchangwushuang¡¯s military power is far too strong, and they move incredibly fast, so they simply can¡¯t be exterminated. Moreover, I suspect that Wuchangwushuang has some sort of agreement with the two states." "Senior, our leaders, Lord Wuchang and Lord Wushuang are both immortal masters¡­" The rider who was knocked down by Mo Wuji took to opportunity to say this sentence. He wanted to instill some hesitation in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart so that Mo Wuji would spare his life. However, he did not even manage to finish this sentence before Mo Wuji stepped down on him. "What thing do they want from you?" Originally, Mo Wuji did not intend to ask this question; in a conflict between mortals, would anything even be good enough for him? But when he heard that Wuchang and Wushuang were both immortal masters, he immediately wanted to know what Wuchang and Wushuang were pursuing desperately. Hua Xuan bowed and said, "Senior, it¡¯s a map. This map leads to an immortal residence in this sea. But this map isn¡¯t on me, I¡¯ve already passed it to Big Sis Aunt Eleven." Even Wuchang and Wushuang know of the map, there was no need for her to conceal this fact in front of this strong expert. "Aunt Eleven?" Mo Wuji suddenly heard a very familiar name and he hurried to ask that question. Hua Xuan hastily replied, "Aunt Eleven is the Big Sis of our Three Tender Hunters." "If there¡¯s a Big Sis, then the must be a Second Sis, right?" Mo Wuji continued to ask. "Yes, our Three Tender Hunters¡¯s Second Sis is Leng Jingbei, our Third Sis is Mo Xiangtong¡­" "Where are they now?" Mo Wuji agitatedly interrupted Hua Xuan¡¯s words. Seeing the face of astoundment on Hua Xuan¡¯s face, Mo Wuji explained, "Aunt Eleven is my friend, Mo Xiangtong is my aunt. I asked about the Black Tailed Bees, is because Leng Jingbei wishes to seek revenge against the Black Tailed Bees. That¡¯s why I wanted to inquire about them." [1] Long legs are very attractive in Chinese culture. What do the rest of the world think? Chapter 209: The Space Within the Sick Woods Chapter 209: The Space Within the Sick Woods Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Are you the Mo Wuji who just joined the sect¡­" Hua Xuan shouted surprisingly. Mo Wuji was also feeling ecstatic as he wasn¡¯t expecting to hear about Mo Xiangtong and Aunt Eleven here. "Yes, I am indeed Mo Wuji. Now can you bring me to see Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong?" Mo Wuji said while laughing. Mo Wuji would never have expected the three of them to form the Three Tender Hunters after they departed from him. What was more unbelievable was that he actually met the members of this hunter squad. After confirming that their Third Sis was actually Mo Wuji¡¯s aunt, Hua Xuan became so excited her hands started to tremble slightly. Hua Xuan finally calmed herself down before bending down to pick up and toss one of the fallen riders to the back instead of replying Mo Wuji immediately. The rider¡¯s body was easily picked up by Hua Xuan before forming a circular arc in the air as he was being thrown to the back. "Brother Mo, there is someone who should not be hearing my words and this particular person can¡¯t be killed now because he knows where Second Sis is being held at," Hua Xuan took a deep breath before finally managing to control her agitation. Even though she addressed Xiangtong as her Third Sis, she didn¡¯t dare to treat Mo Wuji as a junior. "Lengbei is being held captive?" Mo Wuji frowned because he was the one who rescued Jing Lengbei and she had a close sisterhood with Mo Xiangtong. Previously, Jing Clan saved Mo Xiangtong before and now that Jing Lengbei was being held captive, he naturally had to be concerned. "She was brought away by Wuchangwushuang," Hua Xuan said through gritted teeth, "Second Sis held a strong animosity towards the Black Tailed Bees and was determined to seek revenge. Big Sis who was planning to leave, stayed to help Second Sis avenge. Afterwards, they felt that their strength were too frail individually which led them to form the Three Tender Hunters." "So have they sought their revenge?" Mo Wuji was secretly full of praise for this plan because even though Aunt Eleven was strong, the Black Tailed Bees was an exceptional group of horse bandits capable of taking down a country. Therefore, forming a hunter squad was the best possible way to deal with the Black Tailed Bees. Hua Xuan nodded then shook her head, "Initially, we managed to seal up the Black Tailed Bees¡¯ lair ready to slaughter every single member of the Black Tailed Bees. The nickname of the Black Tailed Bees horse bandit¡¯s head is Venomous Stinger and I personally witnessed Second Sis killing him. We swept up the entire lair and took back loads of treasure in which the most important one would be the sea map." "Is this the sea immortal estate map you mentioned previously?" Mo Wuji asked. Hua Xuan nodded her head, "Yes, after retrieving that immortal estate sea map, Big Sis decided to set out to sea." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned heavy as he guessed that Aunt Eleven would have already been out at sea by now. Even though Aunt Eleven was strong, she was still just an average cultivator and it would simply be asking for a death wish to set out to sea with this low level of strength. He had witnessed the might of the sea as the memories of the Six-footed Lightning Crocodiles were still fresh in his head. "Second Sis and I both tried our best to convince Big Sis that setting out to sea given our current capabilities would simply lead to death ultimately. Nevertheless, Big Sis was insistent in setting out to sea to search for the immortal estate. She told us that she had seen and done everything that was to be seen and done in her life and that she would never forgive herself if she did not attempt to give it a try when such opportunity arises," Hua Xuan¡¯s tone became deeper as she spoke. "So Aunt Eleven still went ahead ultimately?" Mo Wuji was already aware of Aunt Eleven¡¯s mettle when he was drinking wine with her previously. Even though she was a female, she was a lot more forthright than any male which was clearly evident in her decision to give up visiting Chang Luo just to send Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei off. Now that Hua Xuan mentioned how Aunt Eleven stayed back to form the Three Tender Hunters just to seek revenge for Jing Lengbei, it was clear that everything Aunt Eleven had done, it was for her friends and not for herself. Hua Xuan lowered her head, "Yes, because Big Sis really wanted to go, we had no ways to stop her. Eventually, we couldn¡¯t do anything about Third Sis¡¯ decision to follow Big Sis out to sea. Third Sis said that she bore the hatred of the sea and that she wishes to find some good luck at the immortal estate so that she could seek revenge for herself in due course. Even if she were to die out at sea, she would have no regrets." Mo Wuji sighed as he understood Mo Xiangtong¡¯s wish to avenge the Mo Clan. In fact, he felt that Mo Xiangtong¡¯s sense of belonging to the Mo Clan was sometimes much stronger than his own. "In the end, Second Sis also made her decision to follow the two of them. However, Big Sis and Third Sis managed to convince Second Sis to stay because if the three of them were to leave at once, what would happen to the remaining members of the Three Tender Hunters? Second Sis listened to their advice and I stayed back to help Second Sis to manage the Three Tender Hunters¡­" Hearing that, Hua Xuan was almost tearing up, Mo Wuji hurried to ask, "So where are the remaining members of the Three Tender Hunters?" Hua Xuan shook her head as she sounded even more sorrowful, "The Three Tender Hunters are only left with nine of us. The rest are gone¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes turned cold, "Is this because of Wuchangwushuang?" Hua Xuan nodded, "Indeed, we initially thought we had exterminated the entire Black Tailed Bees after witnessing Second Sis killing Venomous Stinger. It was only afterwards that we realised that the person Second Sis killed was only a substitute. The real Venomous Stinger managed to escape to Wuchangwushuang and told them about the sea map... There was this time when we were surrounded by the great army of Wuchangwushuang and Second Sis was ultimately captured by them. She tried to kill herself but wasn¡¯t successful in her attempt¡­ In the end, only the 30 plus of us managed to escape and eventually ending up with just nine of us here¡­ I¡¯ve made plans to set out to the sea to find Big Sis and Third Sis but was still prevented unexpectedly. If we did not meet Brother Mo here, we¡­" Without saying the rest, Mo Wuji understood everything. "When did Aunt Eleven and Xiangtong set out for the sea? How many people know of the sea map?" The killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart surged tremendously. Hua Xuan answered, "Only Big Sis, Second Sis and Third Sis were aware of the whole incident. The rest of them only know that it was a map Wuchangwushuang really wanted. However, I am not sure how many people did Venomous Stinger tell about the map. Big Sis and Third Sis had already been at sea for over three months." "Alright, let us head towards Wuchangwushuang¡¯s old nest," Mo Wuji decided to exterminate Wuchangwushuang instead of finding Aunt Eleven and Xiangtong first because they had already left for over three months. "Let me force that guy to tell us where Wuchangwushuang¡¯s old nest is¡­" Just as Hua Xuan was about to talk to the only survivor, Mo Wuji shook his hand, "No need, we just need him to lead the way." Mo Wuji walked over to the tall rider who was tossed by Hua Xuan as he reached out his hand to tear the rope on his body apart before saying, "Lead the way, bring us to your lair." Mo Wuji words were very clear and as long as this rider did not listen, he would immediately tear one of his meridian apart until he agreed to do what he was told. He was way too familiar with a human¡¯s meridian because he had personally managed to open the meridian with only mortal roots. Mo Wuji had been through situations where his meridians were almost torn apart and he knew how torturous it was. Even though his meridians were only almost torn apart, he could not imagine how terrifying the pain of having a meridian torn apart would be. "Yes, junior will obey¡­" What made Mo Wuji surprised was the fact that with that sentence alone, the burly fellow agreed without any hesitation. ¡­ Under the guidance of this Wuchangwushuang¡¯s rider, the 11 of them galloped along the vast Sick Woods. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s sudden appearance, Hua Xuan decided to forgo that carriage filled with daily necessities which was readied to set out to sea. The Sick Woods was a boundless area and all four directions had the same view: desolate and barren. A normal person running in this area for half an hour would naturally turn back feeling helpless and lost. This rider had obviously walked past this Sick Woods many times as he never stopped to check his direction throughout the whole journey. The horse beasts¡¯ endurance were far greater than the normal horse as evident from them resting for a total of only eight hours after running through the Sick Woods for almost two days. They finally decided to stop in front of this massive rock which was at least a few inches tall and wide making it looked like a small hill. "Why did we stop?" Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned serious because if this fellow dared to con him, he would not hesitate to tear every single one of his meridian. The rider hurried to say in a congratulatory tone, "Senior, we have reached." "You fart¡­" Hua Xuan reached to her back and a trident appeared on her hand. The next moment, the trident was already pointing towards the rider¡¯s throat, "Do you really think we¡¯re idiots? There is nothing here except for this huge rock." However, Mo Wuji did not believe that this rider would dare to fool them which was why he started using his spiritual will to scan the surrounding as he immediately realised something was amiss. Around this huge rock, there seemed to be some traces of some arrays. Before Mo Wuji could call for Hua Xuan, a cold, icy voice could be heard, "All of you are indeed idiots because other than this rock, I, Wuchangwushuang, am here too." Following this, the massive rock started to break apart as a man wearing a bright robe stood in front of everyone and behind him were a few hundred people guarding the two sides. Mo Wuji was extremely impressed as it was indeed a huge array and this huge hidden array was exceptionally exquisite because even he could not notice this array, not to mention setting this up. This hidden array was evidently at least an intermediate grade array. It felt like a whole new world inside when the rock was opened. It was outstandingly vibrant with flowers and birds all over the place and it looked much more beautiful than the Sick Woods on the outside. It only took Mo Wuji a moment to understand why there were only weeds and dried up plants all around and everything else looked so dead in the Sick Woods. It wasn¡¯t because this place was not suitable for plant growth but because all the life and vitality in this place were sucked into the space within this hidden array. Let¡¯s say Mo Wuji could still understand a little about the hidden array, he would be completely clueless about this space array. He even suspected that even if Chu XIngzi was here, he might not be able to set up such a massive space array and then hide it under a huge rock. Hua Xuan and the rest were completely dumbfounded at the sight of this. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them as if they were dreaming. After the opening of this rock, there was a wide bluestone path with a width of a few inches. On the two sides of this path, there were greenery, rivers and even some wild animals running all around. This was simply a foreign land of joy and happiness. Hua Xuan¡¯s mouth went gaping wide as she could not believe that there could be so many people and such a beautiful scenery behind a rock in this barren Sick Woods. "Master Wuchang¡­" Before the rider who led Mo Wuji here could finish his sentence, a flash of light sliced his throat as blood poured out and his head fell on the floor. This Wuchang fellow killed the rider without any hesitation. Mo Wuji could immediately confirm that he was indeed a cultivator. Chapter 210: Wuchangwushuang Chapter 210: Wuchangwushuang Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Brother Mo¡­" Hua Xuan finally felt that something was not right; she hurried to wave towards the others and reined in the horses. Mo Wuji said softly, "There''s no need to worry, this is just a concealment array. This place is not bad though." "Eh, you know that this is a concealment array?" Wuchang exclaimed in shock and started to size Mo Wuji up. Even so, he did not treat Mo Wuji as an opponent. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he did not exude any form of spiritual ripples, so he couldn''t be a cultivator. Even if Mo Wuji was an extremely strong mortal, he was nothing but a larger ant in Wuchang¡¯s eyes. Mo Wuji said coldly, "Not only do I know that this is a huge concealment array, I even know that you''re merely in the Spirit Building." A Spirit Building cultivator was already considered a supreme existence in mortals¡¯ eyes yet it didn''t even catch Mo Wuji''s eyes. He was able to kill the Heaven Seeking Palace inner disciple, the Yuan Dan cultivator, Ju Qijian. What Spirit Building cultivator could cause trouble for him? However, he did not act yet, but used his spiritual will to unceasingly analyse that radiant blade of Wuchang''s. That radiant blade was condensed using elemental energy, and it would not have much effects towards cultivators. But when this thing goes against mortals, it''s simply a killing machine. Imagine, this radiant blade''s elemental energy usage was extremely low, with a raise of his hand, tens to even hundreds of radiant blades could be produced. If he used his spiritual will together with the radiant blade, he could manipulate the trajectory of the radiant blade, and it''s killing power could be incomparable. The number of horse bandits in here, definitely did not amount to this mere hundreds. With this mass killing technique, he did not need to fear these horse bandits. "You can see through my cultivation?" Wuchang subconsciously took a few steps back. He originally wanted to send a radiant blade slicing through Mo Wuji''s legs but he immediately chucked that idea aside. Mo Wuji could see that he was in the Spirit Building Stage and still stood in front of him. Then Mo Wuji must definitely be a cultivator, and cultivator with a much higher cultivation. For a cultivator with a higher cultivation, it was natural for him to not see through Mo Wuji''s cultivation. Mo Wuji opened his palm and formed a radiant blade, sending it towards Wuchang. This was a simple radiant blade he condensed using his elemental energy. "Ha ha ha¡­" After easily blocking Mo Wuji''s radiant blade, Wuchang chortled loudly. He almost scared himself still, thinking that Mo Wuji was an expert with vastly superior abilities. However, the radiant blade revealed Mo Wuji''s power, he was simply someone who had just entered the Spirit Building Stage, a fella who didn''t even know how to control his spiritual energy. "Before coming here, you''ve never heard of the stories of those who dared to enter our Wuchangwushuang¡¯s lair? None of them survived." Wuchang suddenly stopped smiling. Thereafter, he waved his hand and said, "Grab him. I want him to regret why he was still alive, then I will kill him myself¡­" With that, Wuchang''s tongue slid out of mouth and slided across his lips. These ten people, not only did they dare kill 36 of his riders, they even dared to enter his Wuchang''s lair. If he did not make them regret their own existence, then he wasn''t Wuchang. Hundreds of horse bandits came charging over; Hua Xuan and the other eight all picked up their weapons. All nine of them had a dauntless expression on their faces, without a single hint of fear. There even this form craziness which could be seen in their faces, as though they were ready to kill to their deaths. Mo Wuji inwardly praised them. From the looks of it, this was not their first battle. However, Mo Wuji did not intend to send these nine to their deaths. He lifted both his hands, and in a single salvo, he shot out ten radiant blades. Mo Wuji''s cultivation was an Extreme Mortal built upon Transcending Mortality Level 12, his elemental energy was multiple times higher than Wuchang. This was his first time shooting ten radiant blades; he still wasn¡¯t used to controlling the radiant blades, and the elemental energy in the radiant blades wasn¡¯t very balanced. The radiant blades perforated through the first person''s chest, but they did not stop there. They continued to pierce through a second horse bandit''s chest. With ten radiant blades, he easily eliminated more than 20 people. Mo Wuji did not rest as he sent another ten radiant blades out. This time, his radiant blades were thinner, and he was able to control each radiant blade to only kill an ordinary horse bandit. During this second time, he had become more skilled. Then came the third time, the fourth time¡­ Before these horse bandits could reach within meters of Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji had trained his radiant blades to be multi-leveled death lines. The hundreds of horse bandits brought by Wuchang, were not even enough for a few rounds of Mo Wuji''s radiant blades. If finding the concealed lair of Wuchangwushuang stunned Hua Xuan and co., then Mo Wuji¡¯s constantly improving, deadly radiant blades had even shocked Wuchang. Only after a few breaths time did Wuchang finally react. Mo Wuji was definitely an expert who vastly surpassed him. Escape! This idea just sprouted in his head when two Invisible Sword Qi sliced across his legs. Pupu, two spurts of blood gushed out; Wuchang sat paralysed on the floor. This was when he noticed, out of the hundreds of people he led here, not even one of them was left standing. Ever since he started robbing, Wuchang had never felt as much desolation as he had today. Today, he faced true desolation. Hua Xuan and the eight were completely dumbfounded. They followed Mo Wuji in the heat of the moment to save Jing Lengbei, but how could they not know the outcome? No matter how impressive Mo Wuji was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to deal the Immortal Masters Wuchang and Wushuang right? But now, in this incredibly short span of time, Mo Wuji decimated hundreds of horse bandits. Not only so, the provenant of Wuchangwushuang, Immortal Master Wuchang, was left paralysed by Mo Wuji. From the start till now, the notorious Wuchang, didn''t even have the chance to act. Soon, the nine that came with Mo Wuji understood that they might not die today. This came as a pleasant surprise, after all, who truly wanted to die? Mo Wuji jumped down from his horse and slowly walked in front of Wuchang, "Just now, you asked me to beg you to kill me. But, I¡¯m living really well, and I don¡¯t really want to beg for death." "Senior¡­" Wuchang¡¯s lips were quivering, "I, Wuchang, have eyes but I¡¯m blind. If senior is willing to spare me, I¡¯m willing to give senior all of my treasures¡­" Hua Xuan took a step forward, her slap flew across Wuchang¡¯s face, "Where¡¯s my Second Sis?" Wuchang suddenly shut his mouth. Even with Hua Xuan¡¯s continuous slaps landing on his face, he did not say a word. "Hua Xuan, stop hitting him. He wants to use Jing Lengbei¡¯s lfie to exchange for his own. Come, let¡¯s go in first." Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind Wuchang¡¯s actions. For a horse bandit who killed innocents as he would ants, Mo Wuji never had the intention of letting him go. Regardless, Wuchang was still a cultivator; even with both his legs broken, he was a dangerous existence. Mo Wuji went forward and directly destroyed the spirit channels in Wuchang¡¯s body. Wuchang, who originally intended to kill to his heart content, screamed out due to this agonising, torturous pain. Right, he really hated the fact that he was still alive. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t die, nor could he even faint. "Hurry and come in," Mo Wuji could be considered to be knowledgeable in the Array Dao. After destroying the spirit channels in Wuchang¡¯s body, he immediately felt a change in the surroundings. Someone must be intending to close this concealment area. With those simple words, he was the first one to rush in. Hua Xuan and co. had long gotten used to following Mo Wuji¡¯s lead. Now that Mo Wuji had charged in, the nine did not even hesitate and charged into the new world behind the gigantic stone. As expected, after the nine entered this new world, the road which led to the outside had completely disappeared. "Hua Xuan, go take a look. This Wuchang should have an array flag which allows him to control this large formation. If you find it, we would be able casually enter and leave this place," Mo Wuji said as he pointed to the crippled Wuchang. Hua Xuan seemed as though she had not heard a single word of Mo Wuji¡¯s, as she stared blankly in the distance. Faraway, a huge black cluster of human hair could be seen. There were at least 10,000 horse bandits making their way towards them slowly. With so many people, even if Mo Wuji was skilled, he would not be able to kill all of them. Mo Wuji also saw the pressing horse bandits. With so many horse bandits, and their heavy, intense pressure, they would easily decimate an average army in a second. "Brother Mo¡­" Hua Xuan¡¯s mouth got a little dry. The ten of them were soon going to get surrounded by 10,000 people, and that oppressive aura of death was enough to suffocate her. "Go find the array flag!" Mo Wuji also started to get serious. He wasn¡¯t afraid of the encirclement of these 10,000 people. The only thing he was worried about, was that he might be unable to ensure the safety of Hua Xuan and co. An ink jade array flag was tossed out of Wuchang¡¯s body, and landed in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. "Soon, I will open this space array, the nine of you can leave first," Mo Wuji said as he held the array flag. "Brother Mo, when we followed you, we never intended to come of here alive," Hua Xuan did not wait for Mo Wuji to refine the array flag, and she said that sentence dauntlessly. The eight behind Hua Xuan did not say anything but the radiance in their eyes revealed their intentions. Mo Wuji no longer said anything; whether they lived or died, it was their own choice. When the time comes, he would still try his best to protect these nine people. The oppressive group of horse bandits finally stopped, a lady in grey robes rode her horse slowly towards Mo Wuji. Behind her, thousands of horse bandits followed closely. "My brother, Wuchang, was killed by you?" This grey robed lady stopped 10 meters away from Mo Wuji, her gaze calmly landing on Mo Wuji. It was as though she did not see the Wuchang rolling on the floor, or more accurately, Wuchang was already a dead man to her. Mo Wuji did not immediately answer, but began to size this grey robed lady up. This lady looked very young, with clear, pretty features. In a single glance, she looked like a girl next door. She was wearing an oversized grey robes, but it did not make her look old. On the contrary, it gave her this indescribable seductiveness. Mo Wuji sighed inwardly; he really wouldn¡¯t have expected this lady to be part of the killer duo who massacred the innocents. Moreover, from the looks of it, this Wushuang¡¯s cultivation seemed to be higher than her brother¡¯s. "Brother Mo, the fella behind that woman is Venomous Stinger." Hua Xuan walked to Mo Wuji''s side and whispered. Mo Wuji also noticed that emaciated looking man by the woman''s side. If Mo Wuji didn''t focus his attention on this Venomous Stinger, he wouldn''t even have noticed his presence. But the moment he felt this Venomous Stinger''s presence, he felt as though he was starting at a savage beast. Chapter 211: Massacre Chapter 211: Massacre Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "Where is Jing Lengbei?" Mo Wuji did not answer the woman¡¯s question, and instead asked about Jing Lengbei. "Bring it up." The grey clothed woman gestured with a wave of her hand after replying. A large cross was brought up from behind, with a bloodied woman nailed onto it. Her hands and legs had nails driven into them separately, forming the word "´ó".with her body. This was Jing Lengbei. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze turned cold. He had guessed that unscrupulous means would be used in order to force Jing Lengbei to tell them where the sea map was, but he did not expect them to nail her to a cross. "Don¡¯t worry, she¡¯s still alive. The nail on her neck was slightly off from her throat. But of course, she¡¯s hanging by a thread. Let me tell you one more thing, Wuchangwushuang isn¡¯t somewhere that anyone can enter. My sons, capture him alive¡­" The lady boss said emotionlessly. "Second sister¡­" Hua Xuan let out a shrill cry, and the eight people behind her almost charged forward. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath, suppressed the rage within him, and replied calmly, "Hua Xuan, form a formation on the spot so that we can kill more of them. If you charge forward recklessly, you¡¯ll just be ground to mince meat in seconds." Their opponents had over 10,000 men against the 10 of them, so the more appropriate strategy was to shoot arrows at them simultaneously. If that happened, even if it were Mo Wuji, he would have had a hard time defending himself. And this woman called Wushuang actually wanted to capture them alive. She was simply too arrogant. 10,000 men might have sound like a large number, but when all are deployed to capture 10 people, only a few hundred would be able to work effectively. "Roger." Hua Xuan calmed down as well. She knew that if she charged into the enemy in a hot-blooded manner, it was courting death. What Mo Wuji said was right, only by setting up their formation could they kill a sufficient number of them. "Kill!" The large black mass of horse bandits rushed forward. Their aura would have made an ordinary man¡¯s body tremble, and lose his courage and fighting spirit. Although Hua Xuan¡¯s group of nine was prepared to fight to the death, when they faced the wave of 10,000 people, their legs trembled slightly. Even Hua Xuan was not completely confident that Mo Wuji could turn the situation around in their favour. A few hundred people were easy to kill, but thousands were a completely different issue altogether. Having over 10,000 horse bandits charging at them together was simply that terrifying. With another deep breath, Mo Wuji suddenly raised his hands, and they turned into a blurry cascade of afterimages. His 101 meridians were activated together, and radiant blade after radiant blade was formed. Those radiant blades were thrown out as soon as they were formed. To ordinary cultivators, Mo Wuji¡¯s radiant blades could at most tear their outer layer of clothing, but to these mortal horse bandits, every radiant blade was like a talisman of death. "Whoosh¡­...whoosh" Streams of blood mist sprayed out. The masses of horse bandits fell as through Mo Wuji was cutting through wheat with his radiant blades. Initially, his wall of radiant blades still did not have any layers to them, but towards the end, there were layers that formed. No matter how many horse bandits charged forward, they would not be able to take a step across the sea of lightning. If it were any other Transcending Immortality Stage cultivator, he would not be able to replicate such a feat. To be able to simultaneously synthesize that many radiant blades to form a radiant blade wall, Mo Wuji had to rely on the 101 meridians that other people could not even fathom, and there were even two elemental storage channels amongst them. The stench of bloody in the air thickened. No matter how brutal, the horse bandits were unable to do anything about the wall of radiant blades that took lives that easily. THe blass mass of horse bandits that originally pressed forward began to get riled up, some even wanting to retreat. But Mo Wuji¡¯s wall of radiant blades was mobile, so it didn¡¯t matter if they advanced forward or retreated. As long as they were in front of it, death was what awaited them. After being stunned for a moment, Wushuang finally understood what was going on. Mo Wuji¡¯s strength had exceeded her calculations, and he was definitely an Earth Realm expert. While she was strong, she could not match up against an Earth Realm expert at all. "Release the arrows, everyone shoot your arrows¡­" Wushuang knew that Mo Wuji was not someone that she had the ability to capture alive anymore, and she roared out wildly. "Bang!" A lightning bolt blew her chest open, causing her to fall flat on the back of her horse. Her breastplate had saved her life. But Mo Wuji was simply much stronger than her, and even with the breastplate protecting her, she was still seriously wounded. Despite the severe injuries, this woman still continued to fire volleys of arrows while screaming hysterically. The horse bandits were already riled up by them, and once Wushuang fell on her horse, pandemonium broke out within the masses. Many horse bandits were already retreating, but countless arrows were still flying towards Mo Wuji¡¯s direction. A serious look appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes as he raised a long sword up. The long sword turned into a series of afterimages, blocking the tens of thousands of arrows. However, mo Wuji was not a swordsman, and his only sword art was the Invisible Blade. This sword art was very taxing, and could not cover all 360 degree around him. The sound of two horses falling came from right behind him, and Mo Wuji knew that at least two people from his side were severely injured. The number of arrows flying at them increased with every volley. This could not go on for long. At this rate, while he would be fine, Hua Xuan and co. would definitely die. Another flash of lightning burst through the sky, this time striking the back of Wushuang¡¯s horse. While Wushuang was stronger than Wuchang, she was just at Spirit Building Stage. "Bang!" The sound of an explosion rang out, and this time Wushuang and her horse were evaporated into blood mist together, causing the voice screaming for arros to be shot to stop. Her life had been taken away by Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash. With the death of Wushuang, more chaos ensued in the masses of horse bandits. They began to run wildly in all directions, and those who knew that they could not escape, began to pledge their allegiance to Mo Wuji¡¯s side. As for the volleys of arrows they flew through the sky, they disappeared as well. With that, Mo Wuji stopped his massacre. He sighed to himself, the strongest horse bandit is still just a horse bandit. A skinny man started to retreat cautiously. This was the Venomous Stinger that Hua Xuan had mentioned before. He wanted to escape by blending in with the masses. But just as he took a few steps back, two wind blades slashed his legs from beneath him. Seeing that, Mo Wuji¡¯s jaw dropped, and he asked Hua Xuan, "Take those decent horse bandits under your charge, and kill the wicked ones. I¡¯ll go take a look at Lengbei." The two people that fell from their horses stood up again, and upon closer inspection, Mo Wuji could see that their injuries were not that bad, so he did not give any pills to them. As for the halting of the massacre, it was not that he did not want to kill all of these horse bandits, as he knew that they were rather icked, and most of them had it coming. But Mo Wuji simply did not want to carry on killing. This sort of one sided massacre would have no benefits for his future cultivation. However brutal the horse bandits may be, there were some innocent ones among them. "..." Hua Xuan finally cleared her head, and replied with a shivering voice, "Okay." This was the first time she experienced how strong an immortal master was, and at the same time, she finally understood why her eldest sister and third sister sought out the immortal residence in a foreign land. If she knew that immortal masters were this scary, she would have gone with her eldest sister As her eldest sister had said, a person has to have a goal in life, so what was her goal? Hua Xuan gazed on the countless people kneeling before her, and the horse bandits fleeing in all directions, and suddenly shouted, "Raise the flag of the Three Tender Hunters, we¡¯ll exact revenge for second sister!" "Revenge for second sister!" The eight people behind Hua Xuan echoed out, and charged into the middle of the horse bandits together with her. In the face of Mo Wuji¡¯s terrifying massacre, the strongest horse bandit could not muster the courage to carry on fighting. What¡¯s more, Wuchang and Wushuang had both been killed. When facing immortal masters, they could not even be considered as ants. Seeing that Hua Xuan had found her rhythm, Mo Wuji did not bother with her anymore, and directly walked to Jing Lengbei¡¯s side. She was indeed in a state bordering life and death. The clothes on her body had fused with her flesh, and brown blood stains could be seen everywhere. Over 10 metal stakes were used to nail her on the cross. If Mo Wuji was not a cultivator, he would not have been able to feel her weak but present heartbeat. Immediately he sent two pills into Jing Lengbei¡¯s mouth, then he removed all the nails from her body. But soon Mo WUji knew that he could not save Jing Lengbei. Mo Wuji had spiritual will, and was an Earth Grade Pill Refiner. From his observations, he concluded that Jing Lengbei¡¯s divine spirit had begun dissipating, which meant that she was about to die. What pill could condense a dissipating divine spirit? That¡¯s right, he still had a stalk of Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. The Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower was a Tier 8 treasure which was more expensive than ordinary Tier 9 spiritual herbs. If it were any other cultivator, they would not take it out to save such a mortal woman like Jing Lengbei. However, Mo Wuji took out the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower without hesitation. One of its petals was sent into Jing Lengbei¡¯s mouth, and once it came into contact with her tongue, it melted into a cold liquid that seeped into her body before disappearing. As Mo Wuji was about to peel of the second petal, he suddenly heard Jing Lengbei shouting softly subconsciously, "Eldest sister and third sister, quickly escape from here¡­" A wave of euphoria arose in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, and his spiritual will immediately landed on Jing Lengbei¡¯s body. This was not the final hurrah of Jing Lengbei, but it was a sign that her dissipating divine spirit was condensing together again. There was no need to use the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower any more, so Mo Wuji kept it carefully. He only knew that the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower was very valuable in the past, but how valuable, he had no clue. Now that a petal from it could save Jing Lengbei, whose divine spirit was dissipating, Mo Wuji could truly understand the value of this spiritual herb. Jing Lengbei was indeed a valuable friend of Aunt Eleven. Even as she was at the brink of death, she still wanted to save Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong. He did not save the wrong person. Another two Tier 4 healing pills were sent into Jing Lengbei¡¯s mouth, and Mo Wuji was sure that her life was no longer in danger. What was to follow would be long term recuperation. After saving Jing Lengbei, Mo Wuji discovered that Hua Xuan had taken control of the situation in a short amount of time. At least a few thousand horse bandits stood before her, waiting for her to speak. When he saw this, Mo Wuji did not go over, as he knew that this was a crucial moment. If Hua Xuan did not have the ability to command these horse bandits, it would be better to kill them all instead to prevent any backlash in the future. He did want to see what Hua Xuan¡¯s next move would be. Chapter 212: Lightning Sky’s Second Style Chapter 212: Lightning Sky¡¯s Second Style Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - "From today onwards, these 800 men behind us will become part of our group. Wuchangwushuang no longer exists, only the Three Tender Hunters remains¡­" Hearing what Hua Xuan said, a sense of confusion arose in Mo Wuji. Other than the horse bandits that he killed, there were still around 9,000 horse bandits left. But now Hua Xuan was only taking in 800 people, so it seemed as though the thousands before her were not accepted. "...Every cent that the Three Tender Hunters earns, is obtained through hard sweat and effort. On the other hand, every cent that Wuchangwushuang obtains is through bloodshed and the shattering of innocent families. We, the Three Tender Hunters, do not want such people¡­" Hearing this, there was a commotion amongst the group of horse bandits, but no one dared to make a move. Mo Wuji was standing not far away, so everyone was aware that whoever made the first move would likely not be able to speak a single word, and be cut down by this immortal master. Mo Wuji nodded his head in agreement. This was the right way to do things: take in one group and kill another group. Just as Hua Xuan had said, many of their hands were stained with the blood of the innocent. "Kill the Venomous Stinger first!" Hua Xuan declared loudly. Two men dragged out the Venomous Stinger that Mo Wuji had already chopped both legs away from. They lifted their swords and the Venomous Stinger¡¯s head fell as the blades swung down. The horse bandits, originally causing a commotion, had all settled down. The execution had a significant effect on them. In his heart, Mo Wuji thought to himself that these murderers were not good people to deal with. While Hua Xuan was only a woman, she had quite a few tricks up her sleeve. After sweeping her gaze across the group of horse bandits, Hua Xuan spoke satisfactorily, "Now I¡¯ll permit all of you to report on each other. Those who have hands stained with the blood of innocents must die without exception. The people who make the greatest contributions, will become a general of the Three Tender Hunters...The 800 frontline troops, step forward. If anyone dares to make a move, kill them!" "Roger!" The first 800 that were accepted by Hua Xuan raised their long blades, and stood before the thousands of men, ready to strike at any moment. "I would like to report Liu San, he previously¡­" A horse bandit immediately pointed at one of the other men standing not that far away from him right after Hua Xuan finished speaking. But before he could finish his sentence, his head was lopped off by another horse bandit beside him. Most of the horse bandits descended into a short period of silence, and they soon realised that Hua Xuan did not make any moves against people who killed others that made reports. With this signal, there was chaos within the group of horse bandits. One by one, they raised their swords. There were those who had grudges against others, those who helped each other due to having a better relationship with each other, and those who did not bear any grudges simply tried to secure their own survival¡­ As long as you were within the group of horse bandits, there were blades raised against you, and for those who left a certain area, they would be killed by the 800 men standing at the side. Sighing, Mo Wuji could not bear to watch any longer. He knew that no more than a thousand people would survive. But this was indeed the best way to settle things. Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible for Hua Xuan to control over ten thousand horse bandits with just the eight under her. The stench of blood in the air became thicker over time, and the sounds of killing only began to die down after a good half a day. Mo Wuji turned around and saw Hua Xuan walking towards him. At the area further away from him, a river of blood and a mountain of corpses had formed. The living horse bandits did not number above 500. Impressive, over ten thousand men had been whittled down to a few hundred. Hua Xuan was indeed suited to this life of bloodshed. "Brother Mo, how¡¯s second sister?" Hua Xuan bowed from a distance and asked. "There¡¯s no issue now. You¡¯ll just have to send some men to bring her in there to recuperate for a period of time after this." Mo Wuji pointed at the buildings in the distance, which were Wuchangwushuang¡¯s old lair. "Roger." Hua Xuan bowed once again, before asking worriedly, "Brother Mo, was I too brutal with my methods?" With a smile, Mo Wuji replied, "What you think is the right thing to do, will be the right thing to do. Next time you¡¯ll be ruling this place with Lengbei. I¡¯ll be going for closed door cultivation for a few days, if there¡¯s anything, you can call me anytime." Hua Xuan knew that Mo Wuji was staying here to do closed door cultivation for a few days out of worry that she could not handle that many horse bandits at once. ¡­ Leaving Hua Xuan behind to settle the loose ends, Mo Wuji entered the old lair of Wuchangwushuang. This place was literally a palace, and even though he had been to Cheng Yu State Lord¡¯s home, he felt that it was not as luxurious as this. Mo Wuji did not search through the whole lair, instead only choosing a normal room, and started closed door cultivation in it after hanging a sign outside. He wanted to take a look at Seven Style Lightning Sky¡¯s second style. After his battle with Ju Qijian, Mo Wuji felt that his skills were too singular. The second style of Seven Styles Lightning Sky was also an incomplete manual, but as compared to the first style, it was still much more whole. At least there were two complete spiritual energy circulation methods, and two lightning wielding diagrams. The second style was called the Five Strikes Mountain Sunderer, and Mo Wuji inferred that five bolts of lightning would strike simultaneously. But in reality, he did not expect much from the second style, as he could already release multiple lightning bolts with the first style. While there was little to expect, Mo Wuji was still ready to train with it first before making any judgement. Learning a new skill would never be a bad thing. The spiritual energy circulation routes were very clear, and Mo Wuji easily completed the first round of circulation, and condensed the first lightning bolt. The second spiritual energy circulation was no problem for Mo Wuji, and he once again condensed the second lightning bolt. There wasn¡¯t much of a challenge, and while the third spiritual energy circulation route was incomplete, Mo Wuji was not worried, as he continued to modify the route by himself. He might not have been a master in his understanding of techniques, but to modify the deepest level of a technique, he could only rely on the Immortal Mortal Technique. Using a cultivation technique to modify an attack skill, and even a lightning affinity one which had tremendous power, perhaps Mo Wuji was the only one who could do it. "Bang!" As Mo Wuji underwent the modified third spiritual energy circulation route, when the spiritual energy was at the halfway mark, his meridians suddenly seized up, and there was an explosion. Terrifying lightning energy energy leaked everywhere, colliding countless times within Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians. Although Mo Wuji had considered such a scenario before, but he was still reduced to spasming on the ground by the lightning strikes within his meridians. There was no way he could carry on with the spiritual energy circulation, and he was regretful for his rashness. Indeed the ignorant was fearless, and because he was ignorant, he thought that he could modify magic skills. But the fact was that, he had been lucky with his modification of Lightning Flash. "Bang!" A bolt of lightning struck Mo Wuji¡¯s Mind Palace [1], which made him feel as though his whole head was about to explode. If he did not put in place any precautionary measures, perhaps in the next instant, his soul would dissipate. Initially, he successfully acquired the first style in an extremely cold location, and while this second style did not burn his meridians, his spiritual will could not take it. That¡¯s right, the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. Just as Mo Wuji felt that his spirit was about to dissipate, he suddenly thought of the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. Luckily he had used it not too long ago, and his memories of its effects were still fresh in his mind. The Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower was immediately taken out, and Mo Wuji directly bit off one of its petals. A cooling sensation overwhelmed his whole body, and spread to the depths of his mind. Mo Wuji¡¯s mind was now the clearest it had ever been. Even the lightning energy within him instantly grew weaker after being doused by the refreshing energy. Should I continue with the spiritual energy circulation? Mo Wuji looked down at the multiple Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower petals in his hands, gritted his teeth, and carried on with his spiritual energy circulation. Once anything went wrong, he would immediately consume another flower petal, then stop creating the second style. What made Mo Wuji surprised was that there was no obstructions this time, which was completely different from the previous circulation attempt, and he could complete the third round of circulation with ease. At that moment, Mo Wuji wielded limitless lightning energy in his hands, and it no longer wrecked havoc in his meridians. After repeated hand seals, he opened his hands and let the energy blast forth. Dense lightning bolts blew the room apart in a bright blue flash of light, just like it was raining lightning. After the assault of lightning bolts, there were craters everyone in the house. He had succeeded. Mo Wuji stared at his hands in surprise. The second style of Seven Style Lightning Sky was complete, but this was not the original Five Strikes Mountain Sunderer. Instead, waves of lightning would descend, which made him even more satisfied as compared to the original five strikes. The waves of lightning was rather similar to the wall of blades that he created previously. They were all large scale attacks. However, Mo Wuji was aware that these volleys of lightning bolts were much, much stronger than the blades back then. While the blades previously would only be effective against ordinary people, the lightning bolts this time would still be devastating against cultivators. Normal elementary Spirit Building Stage cultivators would definitely get severely injured after being struck by them. After a few more rounds of spiritual energy circulation, Mo Wuji was even more sure that the lightning bolts were very strong. If he could strengthen this lightning-type skill by absorbing lightning energy, then he would have struck it big. This was something that he had created. It was no longer the original Five Strikes, so it would be better to change its name to Boundless Lightning Rain. The large waves of lightning bolts that descended looked as though it was raining lightning from the sky, so the name Boundless Lightning Rain was rather appropriate. With a quick wash up, Mo Wuji opened the door to the room as he did not intend to stay in there any longer. "Brother Mo!" Jing Lengbei and Hua Xuan welcomed him as he walked out of the door. While Jing Lengbei¡¯s face was still quite pale, but she had recovered decently, and Hua Xuan¡¯s presence meant that she had taken control of the whole situation. "Thank you Brother Mo for helping me. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have died long ago." Jing Lengbei bowed respectfully at Mo Wuji as she said her thanks. This was already the second time that Mo Wuji had saved her. Chuckling, Mo Wuji replied, "We¡¯re all friends here, there¡¯s no need to mention such things." "Brother Mo, after Big Sis and Third Sis went out to sea, I memorised the sea chart and roughly drew it out." [1] TL: The Mind Palace refers to the upper dantian located in a person¡¯s head Chapter 213: The Wild Sky Sea Chapter 213: The Wild Sky Sea Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: - - The Sky Sea. It¡¯s the biggest sea in the entire Five Great Empires. The other seas from the Five Great Empires, or the Lost Continent, such as the Luo Sea, were basically distributaries from the Sky Sea. Jing Lengbei passed Mo Wuji the sea map, which indicated a location within the Sky Seas. At this moment, Mo Wuji was already standing by the Sky Sea. Originally, even without Jing Lengbei¡¯s map, Mo Wuji would have given the Sky Sea a shot, to look for Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong. With this map, it would only be more natural for him to do so. However, Jing Lengbei¡¯s map wasn¡¯t the most perfect one; there were many parts where her memory failed her. The Sky Sea seaside was different from Luo Sea; the Luo Sea was a freshwater sea. Mo Wuji had never been into the Sky Sea, but standing by the sea, the salty and fishy odour told him that this was no freshwater sea. Waves continuously crashed against the reefs by the shore, rising to form sea sprays as high as three meters. Moreover, the winds were not strong at this moment. Ostensibly, when the wind picks up, the sea spray and waves would become more violent. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with apprehension and worry. The moment he enters this sea, even with his abilities, it would be extremely dangerous. Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong had already entered, the chances that they were still alive were extremely slim. Compared to other seas, the cities around the sea were a little different. For close to a few miles, there weren¡¯t any vestiges of human activity. Here, spiritual energy was sparse; not only was it unsuitable for life, it was rare to see even a Tier 1 spiritual herb. Mo Wuji raised his head to see the grey, gloomy skies above the sea. He suddenly felt that he had not done a good job preparing; he should have at least prepared a boat. He wouldn¡¯t be able to control his flying car into the sea, he would definitely need a boat. The flying car was not able to continuously sail through the air; moreover, if he meets with perilous weather, he would not have any place to land. Moreover, he might even encounter some flying demonic beasts. In comparison, a boat would be far safer than the flying car. However, it would be a great waste of time if he returned to find a ship now. Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong had already left for a few months, even if he left immediately, it would still be a little late. If he went back now, he would not know how long this delay would be. Mo Wuji decided, he would simply set out into the sea first. With Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong¡¯s pace, and with only two of them, their ship wouldn¡¯t be very big. If the two of them were still alive, they shouldn¡¯t have gotten very far. Resolute, Mo Wuji did not delay any further and ignited his flying car, charging into the boundless, vast Sky Sea. The moment he met with any danger, he was prepared to leave and retreat immediately. The winds above the sea weren¡¯t very strong, and Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car wasn¡¯t really affected. In just an hour, Mo Wuji had already delved deep into the sea domain. The sea map drawn by Jing Lengbei was simple and crude. To determine one¡¯s position on the sea map, one would need to depend on the bearings from landmarks, the hydrology, positions of stars, etc. Mo Wuji had followed the same direction from when he entered, but after half a day above the sea, Mo Wuji started to be hazy of his bearings. Furthermore, the previous calm seas gradually started to get violent, tempests of wind flowed unrestrainedly in all directions. Mo Wuji had to lower his flying car, otherwise, his flying car would directly get sent flying in all directions by these raging winds. Perhaps he could forcefully charge his flying car forward, but that would result in much damage to his car, and it would also severely deplete his elemental energy. Mo Wuji flew close to the sea surface for another half a day. The raging winds did not diminish, but instead, a violent storm brewed. Thunder crashed, and lightning flashed. Mo Wuji decided to immediately return. With such weather, not only couldn¡¯t he find Aunt Eleven, he couldn''t even find his direction. Soon, Mo Wuji discovered that he was lost. His current location had deviated much from the route on the sea map. As the winds got increasingly stronger, Mo Wuji started to search through his storage ring for something that could establish a foothold on the sea. After searching for half a day, he found that besides the spirit stones and the various cultivation essentials, he only had a furnace which he had never used before. The flying car started to get pulled along by the violent winds, and Mo Wuji started to get worried about his flying car. His flying car was not a bad spiritual equipment, but it did not have any form of defensive ability. As the flying car hovered close above the sea surface, there would be the occasional meters-tall waves which would hit and crash against the flying car. An object about three to four meters long was carried up by the waves, brushing across the flying car. Mo Wuji hurriedly kept his flying car and landed on that wooden plank like object. He was in the Extreme Mortal Stage, and he didn¡¯t really care about these average winds and waves, but he was worried that his flying car might actually get damaged. This random floating object wasn¡¯t actually a wooden plank, but it was made of a lavender-coloured material which was extremely light, yet tough. As Mo Wuji stood atop it, besides being drenched by the crashing waves, things were a lot more relaxed than before. Moreover, this sea domain did not seem to have any demonic beasts, so Mo Wuji did not need to worry about any sudden attacks. The waves continued to get more threatening, but this object below Mo Wuji was not even a half bit affected. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will began to scan through the object, he wanted to find out exactly what material this object was made of. He was not able to discern the object¡¯s material, but he did find the Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda¡¯s logo on the plank. This left Mo Wuji curious, how did the Pill Pagoda¡¯s logo appear here? He immediately came to an understanding; this plank might very well came from Granny Linglong¡¯s flying ship. Back in Rao Zhou, he noticed Granny Linglong¡¯s flying ship sailing lowly across the sky, and it was also this lavender colour. If Granny Linglong¡¯s ship had ended up like this, then Granny Linglong would not be much better. It would mean that Situ Qian didn¡¯t deliver his message to the Heaven Seeking Palace, or the Heaven Seeking Palace had failed to locate Granny Linglong. "Crash!" Another huge stormy wave came crashing over, the flying ship object below Mo Wuji¡¯s feet was directly lifted up to the top of the waves. It was due to this, he saw another ship swaying in the stormy seas not too far in the distance. Mo Wuji hurriedly controlled the flying ship fragment below his feet and rushed over. In less than ten minutes, the ship had appeared within sight. On the deck of the ship, there were several sailors struggling to keep the ship in control. Dumping the fragment into his storage ring, Mo Wuji directly threw himself into the water and cried for help. The few sailors seemed to hear Mo Wuji¡¯s cries, but their eyes only swept passed Mo Wuji, clearly not showing any intention of extending any help. Mo Wuji was speechless, he could only drag himself to the side on the ship and climbed up onto it. "You¡­" One of the sailors who was controlling the mast acted as though he had seen a ghost, directly dropping the ropes in his hand as his eyes were glued onto Mo Wuji. He had clearly seen Mo Wuji flailing in the tumultuous waves, how did this fella appear on the ship in the blink of an eye? From his perspective, Mo Wuji¡¯s ship must have been destroyed by the strong waves, which was how he ended up in the see. To a sailor like him, who was always out in the decks controlling the mast, this was an extremely common sight. Just now, he was still betting with his friend that Mo Wuji was not able to endure the waves, which was how Mo Wuji disappeared completely. The intentions to save Mo Wuji never ran across his mind. Even though he only needed to throw the rope beside him down, he was too lazy to be bothered to do so. Mo Wuji did not care about this sailor, as he started to wring out the water in his cloths. "Woo!" Another raging wind sailed by. This sailor did not have a tight grip of his ropes, and he was blown over to the side of the ship. "Save me¡­" The blustery winds continued to blow, immediately throwing this sailor overboard and into the sea. In a single wave, this sailor was gone. The other sailors on the deck had also seen Mo Wuji scaling up the ship, and did not say a word. If Mo Wuji was willing to act, it would have been possible to save that sailor, but Mo Wuji did not do anything. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had long swept through the ship interiors, and he discovered that there were nine other people aboard. All nine of them were cultivators. The only mortals aboard were the sailors. Among the nine, there were five separate groups. At the extreme corner of the ship interior, there was an old man and a young girl. They seemed to be a grandfather-granddaughter pair. On the best spot, there were three people; two men and one woman were enjoying their drinks. By the ship hatch on the left side of the ship, there was a black faced, burly man. This burly man was hugging onto a thick broadsword, seemingly closing his eyes and meditating. By the ship hatch on the right, there was a man and a woman; they seemed to be a couple, and the two were currently snuggling with one another. Lastly, there was a fella dressed up as a monk sitting right at the center. "Who are you?" After Mo Wuji walked into the interior of the ship, a medium built, square faced man stood up and asked seriously. This middle-aged man was one of the three enjoying their drinks. Even though this middle-aged man was talking, the other eight, with the exception of the young girl who didn¡¯t dare lift her head, were staring at Mo Wuji. "Woo woo, crack¡­" Outside, the tempestuous winds continued to blow, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will found that the few sailors out in the deck had all been carried away by the winds. Some of the masts have also been broken. Mo Wuji secretly shocked his head. If those few sailors decided to extend their hand to help him previously, he definitely wouldn''t have sat by and watched them die. As the adage goes: Helping others was akin to helping oneself. "My big bro just asked you who you are, are you deaf?" Seeing Mo Wuji''s lack of response, the other man among the three, a youth stood forward. Mo Wuji said calmly, "My ship was destroyed by the winds and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. When I had nowhere else to go, this ship saved me." With Mo Wuji''s story, the others no longer cared about him. The middle-aged man who first questioned him also sat down and continued drinking. Mo Wuji was able to scale this ship despite the tumultuous weathers, he was clearly not simple. Mo Wuji was sure that these people here also knew about the sailors being carried away by the winds, but no one could be bothered about it. These people were probably the same as him, and were simply looking for a shelter during this storm. Mo Wuji found an empty space and sat down. At this moment, he heard some murmuring from the couple. "Brother Xuan, should we help them? Those people are mortals, they''ll definitely wouldn''t be able to stand the winds out in the deck." The one speaking was the woman. The man sighed, "There''s no use, they have already been carried into the sea." "Ah¡­" The woman lightly startled, and immediately held back her tongue. "Yanyan, all those that are here are definitely not simple. Let''s not do anything unnecessary." The man''s voice sounded again. The woman nodded, and did not dare speak another word. Chapter 214: The Mysterious Ship Chapter 214: The Mysterious Ship Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Boom! Crackle!" A bolt of lightning struck down, and the sound of wooden floorboards being torn apart by the lightning rang out. Almost at the same instant, eight men rushed out from the cabin. Only Mo Wuji and the young girl did not move. While the girl did not walk anywhere, she stood up, an indication that her cultivation wasn¡¯t very high. The reason that Mo Wuji did not move was because he had already swept the exterior with his spiritual will, and confirmed that the lightning broke the deck of the ship. However, only a small crack formed, which would not cause the ship to sink immediately. It would be able to hold out for a little longer. In his heart, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Encountering a ship was such a rare occurrence, but it seemed as though he could not stay on this ship for much longer. Seeing that Mo Wuji remained stationary, the girl hesitated for a moment before sitting down once again. Even though she had lowered her head quickly after sneaking a peek at Mo Wuji, none of her actions escaped his observation. The young girl¡¯s face had many bumps and craters on it, which did not seem like the result of disfigurement, so she probably was born this way. The eight men that ran out returned as quickly as they left. They had analysed the situation outside, and although the deck had cracked open, the ship would be able to hold on for now. Through their actions so far, Mo Wuji could feel the strength that they possessed. The monk and blacked faced man were at least above Transcending Mortality Stage Level 6, and the two men and one woman who were drinking were all in Transcending Mortality Stage too. As for the couple sitting by the door, the man should have just advanced into Transcending Mortality Stage, while the woman was likely still in Spirit Building Stage. The only person that Mo Wuji could not evaluate was the elder that with the young girl. His cultivation level was a little unusual. "Brother, why didn¡¯t you go out to take a look just now?" As Mo Wuji did not make a move since he came in, and did not even go out to check on the ship even after the near capsize situation, the woman sitting by the door asked cautiously. "Yanyan¡­" When her husband heard that she questioned Mo Wuji, a stranger, in such a manner, he softly called out to her, and tugged at her hand. Mo Wuji did not really put this matter at heart, as he had a rather good impression of this woman. While this woman had said that the few mortal sailors were not worth saving, her recent question reflected that she was a kind person deep down. On the other hand, the man was a little too uptight and cautious, seemingly a little cowardly too. Who knew what were a couple doing out here either? The sea was lacking in spiritual energy, and definitely would not have anything good in it. "My friend, I¡¯m very sorry, my wife doesn¡¯t know how things are run around here." The man apologised to Mo Wuji. With a smile, Mo Wuji replied, "It¡¯s nothing much. I¡¯m just quite slow, so by the time I was ready to go up, all of you had came back in already." "Ha ha! Your words make it seem as though as we all fear death. But you¡¯re right, regardless whether we go out to take a look or not, the ship will have to roll when it has to roll. So there¡¯s no use in seeing what¡¯s going on outside." The black faced man laughed as he agreed with what Mo Wuji said. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had detected that the waves had broken a hole in the hull of the ship, which meant that it would only last another few minutes in the water. The rather impatient Mo Wuji stood up, pat his hands and said, "I just heard the sound of something hitting the ship. I¡¯ll go take a look." Before this, when everyone went out while Mo Wuji didn¡¯t, the ship was still in decent shape, but now that even Mo Wuji had stood up to go take a look, the rest of the passengers began to suspect if something big had happened. The girl named Yanyan stood up too, "Brother Xuan, let¡¯s go take a look too." Although the man was wary, but he dared not take his chances for such a thing. Once the woman spoke, he immediately shot up, and walked to the outer deck with her. When both of them saw that the hull had cracked open and seawater was slowly seeping in, they were stunned momentarily. Regardless cultivator or mortal, in the endless ocean, as long as one could not navigate their way through, one would die sooner or later. "Brother Xuan, what do we do now?" Yanyan¡¯s face turned extremely pale. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from behind, as the rest of the passengers in the cabin came out. Their expressions completely changed once they saw that the ship was about to sink into the ocean. "Everyone look, there¡¯s a ship approaching¡­" A shout of surprise made everyone excited. The first one to spot the ship was the woman who was part of the trio drinking alcohol in the cabin, and she pointed in the distance energetically. "There¡¯s really a ship¡­" Everyone present was able to clearly see the silhouette of a ship sailing towards them. Mo Wuji also saw the ship, which was over 10 times larger than the one they were on. It was practically a giant. The ship was at least hundreds of meters long, and almost a hundred meters wide. Even though there was still a significant distance between them and the other ship, Mo Wuji could still clearly see the spacious and clean deck. There were no rubbish or cracks. Only traces of rainwater were on it. But what puzzled Mo Wuji was that he did not see a single person on the ship either. In the raging storm, both ships slowly approached one another. "Bang! Crack!" Another gigantic wave smashed onto their ship once again, causing it to completely break apart. The ship¡¯s hull listed, and sea water started gushing in wildly. One by one everyone onboard the sinking vessel leapt tens of meters to reach the giant ship. However, Mo Wuji did not make a move, as he suddenly realised that the situation was rather weird. It was like someone delivered pillows just as they were about to doze off, and the pillows fell right beneath their heads. The giant ship was the pillows, and just as their ship was about to sink, this new ship emerged out of nowhere. On top of that, the direction that the new ship was travelling in was impeccable. "Quickly board the ship, that ship is about to sink." Yanyan frantically shouted as she saw that Mo Wuji remained stationary. Mo Wuji knew that no matter how mysterious it was, he had to board the giant ship. By then, the giant ship had already closed in on the sinking ship Mo Wuji was on, and with a small jump, he was aboard the giant vessel. The moment he reached the giant ship, his spiritual will instantly enveloped every corner of it, and soon Mo Wuji was shocked to realise that not only were there no one on the outer deck, it was the same inside. Most of the ship¡¯s cabins were empty, and there were many food supplies in the kitchen. Where did the people on the ship go? The propulsion and steering equipment was quickly located by Mo Wuji, and to his surprise, the ship used an array disk controlled sail. Array disks were very simplistic and could not even be considered as a basic array, so he could take over the ship with ease. While Mo Wuji was inspecting the large ship, the other nine people were doing the same. The weird situation on board had been discovered by everyone, and the nine of them stood on the outer deck and did not enter the ship, just like what Mo Wuji was doing. "Is there anyone here? Our ship was wrecked at sea, and we would like to seek refuge on your ship for a while." It was still the middle aged man that stepped up to speak, and he bowed respectfully at the ship while shouting out loud. He projected his voice at full force with his elemental energy, so no matter how large the ship was, it should have reached every corner of it. But after the man finished his sentence, a shroud of silence descended on the ship once again, and not a sound could be heard. Mo Wuji knew that there would definitely be no reply, as there was no one in the ship at all. An empty ship which was this clean and tidy, even with food inside. This made Mo Wuji get the heebie jeebies. "My fellow friends, we¡¯ve gathered here because of trouble at sea, so I feel that we should be cooperating to tide through these difficult times. I¡¯ll introduce myself first, I¡¯m Jiang Xiapeng, and these two are Meng Zhi and Qi Susu." The middle aged man immediately turned around to greet everyone respectfully after realising that no one would reply to his shouting. Hearing Jiang Xiapeng say such a thing, Mo Wuji knew that everyone was like him, and had boarded the ship unexpectedly. It seemed like no one knew each other before going aboard the ship. The monk reported a buddhist name, before saying, "Everyone can call me Old Monk Na Xiao. Old Na likes laughing the most, and also likes to joke around. While this is nothing significant, when everyone is tired, I can at least say a few jokes." The whole group was dumbfounded, as this was the first time that the monk had spoken up till now, so how exactly did he show any interest in laughter and jokes? Perhaps these sentences of his were also a joke in itself. Following him, the black faced man spoke in a forthright manner, "I¡¯m Pu Qian, a rogue cultivator. Just now what brother Jiang said was right. In times like this, everyone should band together. I don¡¯t have any conspiracies or schemes, but I do have some strength that I can contribute." "I am Qi Wenxuan, and this is my wife Zhuang Yan. As long as there¡¯s something that we can help with, we¡¯ll definitely not shy away from it." The young man frantically reported. After the young man finished speaking, the elder bowed respectfully and said in a raspy voice, "Old man Qiao is a useless person. I barely escaped with my life, but as long as brother Jiang has a task for me, I will not fall behind on it." "My friend, please tell us your name, so that we may refer to you easily." Seeing that this old man did not volunteer his name, Jiang Xiapeng asked again. "Just call me old Qiao Gouzi. My granddaughter is Cu Tanzi, which is probably much easier to remember." With a smile, the old man replied. Qiao Gouzi and Cu Tanzi, Mo Wuji thought to himself, indeed they have walked far and saw much. Those two names were really easy to remember. As Jiang Xiapeng¡¯s gaze fell on him, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, "I am a rogue cultivator. Call me Mo Wuji." Xia Jiangpeng slightly frowned, as Mo Wuji did not make his position known, which made him a little unhappy. Even though it seemed like Mo Wuji had a low level of cultivation, but he somehow felt that Mo Wuji was not someone to mess with. So while Mo Wuji did not present himself well, he did not have much to say. "My friends, the situation on board this ship is extremely weird, and there¡¯s not even a single person inside right now. My suggestion is that everyone searches this whole ship from top to bottom, then we¡¯ll make a conclusion from there." After obtaining everyone¡¯s initial recognition, Jiang Xiapeng spoke his mind. His idea garnered the support of the whole group, hence although Mo Wuji did not want to do such a meaningless act, he could only agree since everyone had already done so. There were many cabins in the ship, and most of them appeared clean and spacious after entering them. As everyone inspected the ship, Mo Wuji always stood at the back, because he had already checked through all these places with his spiritual will earlier. An hour later, everyone arrived at the kitchen. Before entering, Mo Wuji had swept through the entire kitchen with his spiritual will, and everything seemed normal, with stuff like firewood, rice, oil and salt being present. He believed that everyone else would have the same sentiments as him after seeing these things, but from behind he observed the woman named Cu Tanzi frowning. She even took a few steps back intentionally. Chapter 215: The Immortal Residence Map Chapter 215: The Immortal Residence Map Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After browsing through the kitchen, the crowd arrived at the ship¡¯s largest cabin hall. Even though there was no one aboard the ship, every cabin was clean and tidy, but no one suggested entering one alone. Jiang Xiapeng was the first to speak, "Friends, we have already searched through this ship, and determined that there aren''t any forms of dangers and there are even many individual rooms. Even though the appearance of this ship is a little peculiar, I still that it is not impossible. Imagine, this ship may have docked on some small island as the passengers alighted to explore the island. Then, this ship got carried away by the waves¡­" Jiang Xiapeng, himself, was unable to continue any further. The possibility of what he said was extremely low, so low that it was marginally next to impossible. "Amitabha,Old Na thinks that this ship has been intentionally sent into the Sky Sea." The laughing monk said with a stern expression. "Laughing monk, when you speak, can you consider some logic and probabilities. Just now, even though Brother Jiang¡¯s story seems close to impossible, at least there was a slight possibility. But what you''re saying, is simply too absurd. Do you that person''s brain is damaged? What purpose would he have in sending this huge, empty ship into the Sky Sea?" The black faced burly Pu Qian snorted and said. The laughing monk stared at Pu Qian in shock, "Purpose? Naturally, it''s to scare us out of our wits ah. Don''t tell me you aren''t scared? Think about it, if that person who sent this ship into the Sky Sea sees our shocked and cautious appearances, wouldn''t he get a good laugh out of it?" Mo Wuji suddenly felt that this monk was a troll; he appeared to have an expression of seriousness, and acted as though he was narrating the truth, when it was complete bullsh*t. Pu Qian stared speechlessly at the monk, before saying, "That''s right, it gave me a good scare." The monk clapped his hands together and said, "See, I was right. Seems like that rascal who sent this ship has really achieved his motive. What a venomous scheme. If this Old Na sees that rascal, I will be sure to decimate his bones into tens of thousands of pieces. Praise to the Amitabha. I was wrong, I actually violated the Precept of Rage. [1] At the very most, I would decimate his bones to thousands of pieces. One should be kind and compassionate, Old Na shouldn''t go any further." Mo Wuji suddenly voiced out to stop this monk from continuing, "Everyone, why did all of us gather here? And why was it such a coincidence, that all of us faced a calamity at sea?" The group instantly went silent, no one wanted to answer Mo Wuji''s questions. From the looks of it, everyone had their own motives and they weren''t comfortable with sharing it. Mo Wuji directly continued, "I came because of a sea map, this map showed the location of an immortal residence¡­" The reason why Mo Wuji directly laid things out on the table was because he had long had his suspicions. The sea is large and vast, much less this boundless, endless Sky Sea? In such an unfathomably big place, everyone was able to come together. This was no simple coincidence. "Ah¡­" Zhuang Yan was the first to cry out in shock, before she continued, we also found a sea map which depicted the location of an immortal residence¡­" Qi Wenxuan wanted to stop Zhuang Yan, but it was already too late. Thus, he could only go along with Zhuang Yan''s words, "That''s right. We did indeed came to try our luck in the Sky Sea because of this sea map." Everyone''s face instantly revealed a strange expression. That black faced burly man suddenly threw a sea map on the floor, "Granny¡¯s ass, this old man has been fooled." Mo Wuji''s gaze immediately swept across that map; he discovered that it was largely similar to the one which Jing Lengbei drew for him, but a few critical points were different. For example, the position of the immortal residence was different, and it wasn''t a small difference, but a huge one. Mo Wuji believed that even if Jing Lengbei¡¯s memory was bad, she wouldn''t have gotten the position of the sea map wrong. After the burly man threw his map out, the others started to take out their maps. As expected, all the sea maps were exactly the same. Jiang Xiapeng said with a solemn expression, "It looks like someone is trying to use this sea map to lure us here. As to who this someone is, or what his motive is, that is still unclear." Mo Wuji did not reveal his own map, nor did the others ask him for it. Things have already become clear; it wasn''t important if Mo Wuji didn''t take the map out. With that said, Jiang Xiapeng suddenly recalled something as he turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, how did you know that there was a problem with the sea map? Ai, where''s your map?" Mo Wuji acted as though he didn''t hear Jiang Xiapeng''s words as he turned to the Cu Tanzi hiding behind Gouzi and asked, "Sister Cu Tan, when we were at the kitchen, no one else found there to be any problems, but why did you frown?" No one expected for Mo Wuji to suddenly shoot Cu Tanzi with this question. One could say that among everyone here, Cu Tanzi was the only one that did not seem to have an existence. But because of Mo Wuji''s question, everyone forgot about Jiang Xiapeng''s ones. "I, I don''t know¡­" Cu Tanzi stuttered, seemingly at loss. Gouzi hurried stood up and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Dao friend Mo, my granddaughter has always been very timid. Wherever she goes, she would not have any opinions. I believe that you must have seen things wrongly." Mo Wuji calmly said, "I did not see things wrongly. Sister Cu Tan, if you do not wish to speak, I naturally wouldn''t force it out of you. Of course, I wouldn''t stay here any more. If everyone continues to hide matters in their hearts, we wouldn''t be able to cooperate properly even if we stayed together." "I, I¡­" Cu Tanzi¡¯s voice became even more subdued. Gouzi also seemed to feel as though Cu Tanzi had something to say, so he said in a very straightforward manner, "Cu Tanzi, if you have something to say, just say it. We all wish to work well together here." Perhaps it was because of Gouzi¡¯s reassurance, Cu Tanzi finally decided to speak up, "Back in the kitchen, the big jar was filled with fresh blood. But everyone seemed to think that things were normal, so I didn''t dare say anything¡­" Everyone in the group started glancing at one another. There was only one jar in the kitchen, and everyone had opened it up and saw what was inside; it was rice. "Nonsense, that jar was clearly filled with rice, where would there be¡­." Gouzi snapped for half a sentence before stopping. Cu Tanzi had always followed beside him, and she had always been very honest. She wouldn¡¯t lie about such things. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will went back to scan the rice jar in the kitchen. The rice jar was truly filled with rice. He then began to concentrate his spiritual will into that rice jar. The smell of blood was instantly caught by his spiritual will. The rice suddenly turned into fresh blood. Cu Tanzi was right. Mo Wuji''s face immediately changed, his spiritual will then turned towards dry wood in the kitchen. As his divine sense fully permeated in, the dry wood also transformed; they all transformed into pieces of white bones. He then extended his spiritual wills to the rest of the cabins, and found that the cabins were no longer had their clean appearance, but were littered with cobwebs. Rags and clothes were thrown all over the place, and there were even skeletons below the beds. Back to this big cabin, the interior was also filled with dust. Behind him, was a skeleton leaning on a wooden bench. The room looked horrifying. After being scolded by Gouzi, Cu Tanzi became even more timid. "Let''s go back to take a look," Jiang Xiapeng stood up and said, completely unaware that he had just stepped on a decapitated palm. Mo Wuji could help the trembling in his voice. Ostensibly, he was truly quite worried. "There''s no need to go back. Sister Cu Tan''s words should be true. This ship is really weird, I''ll go up first." With that, Mo Wuji stood up and started walking towards the main deck. "Eh, treating a little girl''s story as a fact? Wait till I go back to that kitchen and grab some rice over. With such small balls, why did you bother coming to search for treasures?" Meng Zhi, who had always remained silent, suddenly stood up and rushed down to the kitchen which was at the lowest floor. "Brother Meng, let¡¯s wait for everyone and go together," Jiang Xiapeng called out from the back, but Meng Zhi had already left. The Qi Wenxuan and Zhuang Yan couple hesitated briefly, before following Mo Wuji to the deck. Gouzi did not have any doubts towards Cu Tanzi¡¯s words, and also followed Mo Wuji up to the main deck. In the center floors of the ship, remained Jiang Xiapeng, Qi Susu, the monk and the black faced man. "Do the few of you want to follow me down to take a look?" Jiang Xiapeng saw that Meng Zhi had already disappeared, and even his footsteps could no longer be heard, and he started to get a little afraid. "Amitabha, Old Na shall help¡­ Old Na suspects that the master of this ship might be hiding in that rice jar." The laughing monk stood up with a serious expression. It was as though he was 100% sure that his guess was right. The black faced Pu Qian also stood up and said, "I also feel that might not be impossible. Since Brother Jiang extended this invitation, I would naturally follow." With that agreement, the four rapidly delved deeper into the ship, heading towards the kitchen. ¡­ "Brother Mo, are Sister Cu Tan¡¯s words true?" Even though Cu Tanzi was standing by the side, Zhuang Yan still asked this question with an pale, white face. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right, they should be true." "Then why can¡¯t the rest of us see it?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s definite answer, Zhuang Yan became even more afraid. After a brief contemplation, Mo Wuji said, "If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, besides this ship which is real, almost everything else in this ship is fake. This might be an illusion array, and this illusion array has caused us to lose our usual thinking and vision." It wasn¡¯t a mere ¡®might be¡¯, Mo Wuji was sure that this ship concealed an illusion array. He did not merely spend one or two days studying on Chu Xingzi¡¯s knowledge on the array dao. Even though he had not touched upon illusion arrays, he had learnt a majority of the arrays. "Brother Mo¡¯s words should be true. Cu Tanzi definitely wouldn¡¯t lie about such matters," Gouzi added with a solemn expression. Mo Wuji turned and looked towards the tumultuous winds and waves; he was seriously considering whether he should leave the ship. Since someone had lured them over with this immortal residence map, would they simply let him leave? "Brother Mo, what do you intend to do now?" Qi Wenxuan had already noticed things; Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was unknown, but his vision definitely wasn¡¯t lacking. Mo Wuji was just about to answer when his expression suddenly changed. Among the five people below, one had gone missing. The first to go down, Meng Zhi, had disappeared. Even after using his spiritual will to scan the entire ship, he was not able to find Meng Zhi. [1] There are three precepts in Buddhism: the precepts of Rage, Greed and Ignorance. However, there are also accounts of eight precepts, which gave Zhu Bajie his name in the Journey of the West. Chapter 216: How Many People Repay Kindness With Vengeance Chapter 216: How Many People Repay Kindness With Vengeance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Jiang Xiapeng and co. also discovered that Meng Zhi had disappeared, and Jiang Xiapeng grabbed a long spear, swinging it straight down at the rice jar. "Bang!" A crisp sound rang through the ship, and the stench of blood instantly spread throughout the whole kitchen, leaving dark brown blood stains everywhere. "Let¡¯s leave quickly, this ship is weird¡­" The black faced man exclaimed, before turning around and charging out. The remaining three people also followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, all four of them were on the outer deck once again. "Amitabha, Old Na will make a move first." The laughing monk jumped straight into the ocean as soon as he reached the outer deck. "Whoosh!" In the air, the laughing monk seemed to have been blocked by an invisible force, and he fell down from the air. A trap array? The few remaining people stared at each other, and no one attempted such an act again. This sort of invisible trap array was not something they could deal with. "It seems like something happened to Brother Meng." Pu Qian, the black faced man, sighed. If he knew that this ship was so unusual, he would have rather remained in the ocean than to board it. Jiang Xiapeng bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo was the first to discover something wrong with this place, so may I ask what are your plans?" After inspecting the dead silent ship, and taking in a few deep breaths, Mo Wuji replied, "I think everyone should still wait a little longer. Since this ship brought us here by itself, it must have its goals. Moreover, we are now in the middle of the ocean, so the situation off the ship doesn¡¯t seem much better than the one on it. I suggest for everyone to not wander off on their own, and we¡¯ll continue this discussion after finding somewhere to sit down on the outer deck." There was another point that Mo Wuji withheld, which was that the ship did not restrict their ability to move, even though Meng Zhi died when he was alone. As such, the ship obviously had a limited ability to hide things, and could not deal with the nine of them at the same time. Of course, the most important thing was that he needed time to study the trap array on the ship. Only after destroying the trap array, would they have a chance to act. "I second Brother Mo¡¯s intentions." Gouzi was the first to respond. Although the remaining people thought that what Mo Wuji said was simply wasting time, but that was the best they could do. Since they could not break the trap array of the ship, or rather, even if they managed to do so, they would still fall into the sea, it would better to just wait on the ship to see what would happen. All of them formed a circle and sat down, each thinking of their own ideas while waiting for the thunderstorm to subside. However, Mo Wuji simply just took out his notes of Chu Xingzi¡¯s array dao, and began researching on trap arrays. For trap arrays, he had encountered one before, but it was a elementary grade trap array, while the one on the ship was probably an intermediate grade trap array. With this foundation, in a short span of two days, Mo Wuji had already discovered the dispel point of the ship¡¯s trap array. As expected, the trap array on the ship was an intermediate grade trap array. "Brother Mo¡­" Qi Wenxuan¡¯s voice travelled to Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. Immediately, Mo Wuji kept Chu Xingzi¡¯s introduction to arrays, and discovered that everyone else was standing up, even taking out their own treasures. "Brother Mo, we just passed by a large island, which was a location marked on our sea maps. If we want to escape, this is a good opportunity. Why don¡¯t we join forces to attack this trap array?" Seeing that Mo Wuji no longer studied his notes, Jiang Xiapeng spoke first. Mo Wuji looked ordinary, and did not seem to have any spirituality, yet he gave the feeling that he was deep beyond measure. "Sure, but this trap array is at least an intermediate grade trap array. So if everyone wants to break apart this trap array, you''d better listen to me." With a nod, Mo Wuji stood up as well. "Brother Mo, you understand array dao?" Jiang Xiapeng exclaimed. Not only Jiang Xiapeng, but the rest of the people stared at Mo Wuji, pleasantly surprised. While there were many people from various sects here, and even with most of them at Transcending Mortality Stage, there weren¡¯t many who were proficient with array dao. Even for a big sect, something like array dao might not necessarily be passed down through the generations, because it was simply too valuable. As for rogue cultivators, it depended on luck and chance for one to become proficient in array dao. Because of this, array masters were very rare. Chuckling, Mo Wuji replied, ¡®I don¡¯t really know much about array dao. This ship likely has a strong concealment array, but I¡¯m unable to see what it¡¯s hiding. There¡¯s one thing that I¡¯m sure of though, which is that we can¡¯t stay on this ship for much longer, otherwise there¡¯ll be a second person that goes missing¡­" This was not completely based off his speculation, as there were only two possibilities for why the ship intentionally left them here and only acted on Meng Zhi on one occasion. First, the ship might not be a match for their combined strength, and second, the ship might require fresh blood to survive, so they were kept alive as livestock. Moreover, all their cultivation levels were similar, so they could have been kept on board for the ship to slowly savour. Of course, there was the chance that both these possibilities were playing out at the same time. "Master Mo, Old Na has decided to secularise, and become your mantle disciple to spread and glorify your skills¡­" The laughing monk said sincerely, and with determination. But Mo Wuji did not bother with this joker, and said immediately, "I will use blades to point out some spots. Everyone please attack those spots at the same time." After finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji sent out the first blade, which landed conspicuously at a location in the air. Most of the people here were in Transcending Mortality Stage, so after the blade was sent out, seven to eight magic treasures struck the same spot. "Crack!" With a slight noise, a small crack appeared in midair. The confidence that everyone had towards Mo Wuji was boosted greatly upon seeing that such a result was obtained just from the first strike. When his second blade landed, even greater power struck its position. A third time, a fourth time¡­ "Crack!" The seventh time that the group¡¯s magic treasures hit a point in space, a crisp cracking sound echoed through the air, following which a loud shattering sound could be heard. Fresh sea breeze blew into their faces, and all of them could not help but scream out of joy. The laughing monk leapt out first, landing in the sea. Those left behind were no slower, as they rushed out quickly. Mo Wuji was the sixth to charge out, and behind him was Zhuang Yan, Qi Susu, and the black faced man. Just as he crossed out of the outer deck, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will sensed a black shadow with a stench grabbing at his back. The shadow had a strong yin aura, and as he was not a newbie that just step foot in the world of cultivation, he instantly knew that there was a ghost cultivator or yin cultivator hiding there. On top of that, this guy bore grudges, knowing that Mo Wuji had let his food go free, so he wanted to take down Mo Wuji the first. But how would Mo Wuji, who had spiritual will, allow this ghost cultivator to catch him? With a twist of his body in the air, the Tian Ji Pole appeared in his hands. When the ghost cultivator saw that Mo Wuji had dodged, he seemed rather indignant, knowing that it wouldn¡¯t be very possible to catch Mo Wuji ever again. The ghost cultivator split into two, one headed for Zhuang Yan and the other Qi Susu. He likely thought that these two girls would be easier to deal with. "Ah!" A scream of terror rang out, as Qi Susu was dragged straight into the ship by the ghost cultivator, leaving a trail of blood behind on deck. Naturally, Mo Wuji could detect both shadow claws, however they were too fast and too far away, so he could only save one person. Zhuang Yan seemed like a good person, had reminded him of certain things, and was much closer to him. Hence, he decided to lend a helping hand. Right before the shadow claws had come into contact with Zhuang Yan, Mo Wuji spun his body in midair once again, directly lifting his body fifty metres away. Then he swung down continuously with the pole. A bloodcurdling scream rang out, as the shadow claw took away a large piece of Zhuang Yan¡¯s clothing before disappearing into the ship. ¡®Creak¡¯ The sound of the floorboards beneath him made Mo Wuji¡¯s expression change for the worse. This ghost cultivator was not someone easy to deal with. After he couldn¡¯t catch Mo Wuji, he actually tried to adjust the ship¡¯s position such that Mo Wuji would not land in the sea. It seemed like the ghost cultivator had no plans to let Mo Wuji go. The trap array of the ship was activated once again, causing everything other than the blood stains on the outer deck to disappear. Now Mo Wuki knew that he could only rely on himself to break this array, because he was left alone on the ship after saving Zhuang Yan. Compared to before, the Mo Wuji now had a little more confidence. When the ghost cultivator¡¯s shadow claw grabbed him, he hit the shadow claw once, which confirmed his suspicions. The ghost cultivator¡¯s strength did have a limit, and he only relied on ambushes. In other words, if the nine of them were not that cowardly, they might have been able to force this ghost cultivator to reveal himself just with their strength alone. ¡­ "Brother Qi, let¡¯s go to help brother Mo quickly." Zhuang Yan was the most aware of why Mo Wuji was trapped on the ship again. It was because he was trying to save her. In a comforting tone, Qi Wenxuan replied, "Yanyan, brother Mo is a good man, but we don¡¯t have the ability to save him, so let¡¯s just leave." Zhuang Yan looked at Qi Wenxuan in disbelief, before carrying on, "But brother Xuan, brother Mo just saved me, otherwise I would have been the dead one." With a sigh, Qi Wenxuan pointed at the island not far away, "Yanyan, let¡¯s go to the island first before we start brainstorming for ideas. I believe in brother Mo capabilities. Nothing will happen to him." "You¡­" Zhuang Yan¡¯s face turned pale, and she suddenly shouted, "Everyone, if it weren¡¯t for brother Mo, we¡¯d still be on that ship. Now we¡¯re safe, but brother Mo is still alone on the ship, so I believe that as long as we go aboard the ship again, we¡¯ll definitely be able to save brother Mo." These words were from the heart. While Zhuang Yan was much more afraid of the ship than anyone there, but she would not be able to live with the fact that she abandoned the person that saved her life. The black faced Pu Qian answered, "Ok, let¡¯s go save him together." But soon the both of them discovered that only the both of them responded, and the rest of the group charged wildly at the island as though as they did not hear anything. Zhuang Yan spoke while teared rolled down her eyes, "Brother Pu, I thank you regardless of whether you¡¯re willing to save brother Mo with me now. But I must go to save him, otherwise I might as well just die." With a thumbs up, Pu Qian replied, "Sister Zhuang Yan, while you are a woman, but you put many men to shame. Why are you still speaking, let¡¯go together now." ¡­ Standing alone on the outer deck, Mo Wuji not only failed to dispel the trap array, but instead walked into the ship while laughing coldly, "Since you invited me in, don¡¯t blame me for taking up the offer. Chapter 217: Not Enough Chapter 217: Not Enough Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The reason why Mo Wuji was so emboldened was because he had exchanges with that ghost cultivator before and was therefore, aware of the opponent¡¯s aura. If it was in the past where he had no sense of his aura before, he would not be able to find him even with the spiritual will. With the awareness of his aura, Mo Wuji was not afraid that he could not find the ghost cultivator. Before entering the cabin, Mo Wuji had already scanned the entire ship using his spiritual will. After a while, Mo Wuji found out where the ghost cultivator was hiding at. The ghost cultivator seemed to like the kitchen a lot as he was well hidden within the kitchen¡¯s stove. The ghost cultivator was the one who provoked him first and if he did not destroy his entire body on this ship, Mo Wuji would never be able to breathe easy. One more reason was because he wanted to first remove all the illusion array here to prevent the ghost cultivator from altering his aura to hide within the array, causing him difficulties to locate him. When faced with such a illusion array, Mo Wuji knew attacking it aimlessly would be just a waste of energy. He was after all also an array master so after analysing on the ship¡¯s defensive array, he had gained some knowledge about this illusion array. The first thing Mo Wuji did was to lift his hand to release a few lightning bolts in the middle of the hall. Just as he suspected, these lightning bolts had no effects on the illusion array but because of these lightning bolts, Mo Wuji was able to pinpoint where the dispel point of the array was. Mo Wuji threw another two electroballs and the entire ship¡¯s illusion array broke. The whole scene exploded with dust and the floor was filled with bones. Illusion array was different from a trap array because a trap array would have defensive capabilities but not an illusion array. Using the few lightning bolts earlier on to make a mark, Mo Wuji was able to pinpoint the dispel point and array base hence, when these two electroballs were sent over, the entire illusion array was turned into nonentity. Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction wasn¡¯t wrong when he guessed that this ship was the ghost cultivator. Moreover, this ghost cultivator was not weak as he already had one of his leg in the Yuan Dan Stage. The reason why he refused to reveal himself previously was because Mo Wuji and the rest were all in Transcending Mortality Stage and once he showed traces of himself, he could put himself at a disadvantage when ambushing them. As for the reason for his sneak attack on Mo Wuji at the end and then only keeping him on board the ship was because he was resolute in seeking revenge. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to finally collect so many Transcending Mortality fresh blood and that these fresh blood were meant for him to help him advance to the next realm. Once he advanced to the next realm, he would be able to leave this ship and condense himself into something else. However, all his plans were ruined by Mo Wuji as he single handedly released the fresh blood he needed to enter the Yuan Dan Stage. Who knows how much time he would need to collect these much fresh blood again? After witnessing Mo Wuji¡¯s release of several lightning bolts, he was dumbfounded. If he was given a chance to turn back time, he would rather release the trap array and allow Mo Wuji out instead of going head to head with him. What are ghost cultivators most afraid of? Lightning. He couldn¡¯t believe he actually offend a lightning cultivator in front of his eyes. The ghost cultivator was even more startled when he saw Mo Wuji destroyed his illusion array using two electroballs the second time he attacked. If the ghost cultivator had not already given up hope of fighting him after witnessing the lightning bolts, he was about to go crazy after this attack with the electroballs. The ghost cultivator became more desperate when he realised just how powerful Mo Wuji¡¯s attack truly was. He suspected that Mo Wuji was lying because he believed that the attacks should be of a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator and not a Transcending Mortality cultivator. "Boom boom boom boom!" Streams of explosive lightnings struck all around the ship as it started rampaging towards every room. Under these continuous electroballs attack, no illusion array would be able to withstand it. The ghost cultivator did not dare to stay silent because he knew if he don¡¯t do anything soon, Mo Wuji would definitely wreck the entire ship into pieces. Without the ship, he would not be in a situation any better than those Mo Wuji and Co. when they were stranded out at sea. "My friend, please stop. Please don¡¯t take things too seriously, I admit defeat and you are free to go now. I promise I will not touch you at all," The ghost cultivator made sure he could be heard clearly throughout the entire ship. He finally understood the meaning behind the words Mo Wuji said when he entered the ship: he was simply seeking death by trying to trap Mo Wuji on this ship. Mo Wuji sent out yet another electroball, causing a huge pillar to collapse before saying, "It is your fault for choosing the wrong guy to mess with." "I have already admitted defeat and was willing to let you out. What more do you want? You should know that you won¡¯t have it easy if I were to fight all out against you or rather you would have no idea where I would attack you from," The ghost cultivator became enraged too. So what if he was in the Yuan Dan Stage? He wouldn¡¯t know where I am currently at. "Oh, do you think I couldn¡¯t see you if you hide under the stove?" Finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji dashed towards the stove before sending a few lightning bolts down. "Boom boom boom!" The stove fell apart and the black shadowed ghost cultivator appeared at a corner of the kitchen before staring at Mo Wuji with chills down his spine, "You can see me?" Mo Wuji laughed coldly before releasing a few more lightning bolts towards the ghost cultivator, "What do you think? It would be a piece of cake for me to kill you now." If the ghost cultivator had not already given up all hope before this, the fact that Mo Wuji could see him made him completely desperate and hopeless. A few lightning bolts landed by the side of the ghost cultivator, forcing him to retreat to a corner of the kitchen with no room to move a single inch. He was trembling at the sight of the lightning bolt flying towards him as he was very clear that the moment Mo Wuji moved his hand, a ghost cultivator like himself would immediately disintegrate into ashes. Not mentioning that he was only halfway into the Yuan Dan Stage, even if he was fully in the Yuan Dan Stage, he would still meet his death when facing the lightning bolts from Mo Wuji. "Don¡¯t kill me, I have collected a lot of valuable things in the past few years and I can give them all to you¡­" This ghost cultivator had sinned too much from drinking other cultivators¡¯ blood. He had always thought it was only right for him to use other cultivators¡¯ life and blood for his own cultivation but now that he was close to death, he finally understood how scary it was to be this close to death. Mo Wuji said faintly, "I shall wait and see what you have. If I am satisfied with it, I could still spare your little life." "It is here, everything is here¡­" A storage ring was retrieved by the ghost cultivator and tossed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji reached out for the storage ring and broke the seal on it with his spiritual will. The space within the storage ring was about the same size as the one he got from the alien cultivator back then and it was filled with spirit stones and all sorts of magic treasures. However, from what Mo Wuji saw, it was mostly trash magic treasures. "Friend, I have eyes but I am as blind as bat to have offended you so you can take the entire storage ring with you," The ghost cultivator noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s expression changed and then hurried to add this sentence. "Is this all you¡¯ve got?" Mo Wuji shifted his spiritual away from the ring before asking calmly. The ghost cultivator couldn¡¯t tell how Mo Wuji was feeling as he replied hesitantly, "Yes, that is all." From the ghost cultivator¡¯s observation, Mo Wuji was at most a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator and without taking the magic treasures and spirit stones into consideration, even the storage ring itself was not something any Yuan Dan Stage cultivator could get easily. "These items are not enough, you can rest in peace," Mo Wuji lifted his hand before releasing a few electroballs. "No¡­" The ghost cultivator let out a mournful cry and before the first word was out from his mouth, Mo Wuji¡¯s electroball had completely disintegrated him. Before his death, he did want to tell Mo Wuji that he had another storage ring but it was a pity he could only utter out one word. "Clink" Another storage ring fell on the floor. Without waiting for the storage ring to hit the floor, Mo Wuji stretched out his hand and caught the storage ring within his palm. This ghost cultivator actually dared to hide things from me, fortunately I was never intending to let a monster like him to continue living." As he attempted to use his spiritual will to look into the storage ring, Mo Wuji was met with great resistance. This repelling force made it impossible for him to pry and see the contents of the storage ring. He could easily break open an average storage ring but he couldn¡¯t believe that his spiritual will wasn¡¯t able to open this particular storage ring. Mo Wuji did not continue trying to break open the seal of the storage ring because given his knowledge of seals, he knew that he would not be able to break open a seal like this in this short period of time. Mo Wuji did not continue to wreck this ship as he was eager to visit the small island that they spotted. As he had already killed the ghost cultivator, this ship would no longer pose any danger. Letting it drift in the sea might even save a few stranded cultivators out at sea. Just as Mo Wuji arrived at the deck, he saw two people jumped onto the deck from the sea. "Miss Zhuang, brother Pu, why are the two of you back here?" Mo Wuji looked curiously at the drenched Zhuang Yan and Pu Qian as he asked. "Brother Mo, are you okay?" Zhuang Yan asked surprisingly. Pu Qian laughed out loud, "Great, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re fine. I thought my trip here would be a one way trip but since you¡¯re fine, let us leave this ship for the immortal residence island." Mo Wuji did not take long to understand the situation. Out of everyone which he helped to escape, only Zhuang Yan and Pu Qian came back to save him. The rest probably left him. "Thank you both of you for your righteousness to even come back to save me," Mo Wuji cupped his fists as he said his thanks. He held the most respect for righteous people and it was precisely the reason why he befriended Aunt Eleven and even came out to sea to search for her. Unlike many cultivators whose main purpose out at sea was to find the immortal residence, Mo Wuji was clear that his main purpose would be to find Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong. Zhuang Yan hurried to reply, "Brother Pu and I were not of any help at all and I did not expect the trap array of the ship to disappear the moment we boarded the ship." Mo Wuji thought to himself, the ghost cultivator that he killed could not wait for him to leave the ship therefore, it was only natural for the trap array to be gone so soon. "From today onwards, the two of you shall be my friends. These are some items I found on board the ship which I shall gift it to both of you," Mo Wuji took out two storage bag after saying this. In this two storage bags, other than a couple of spiritual items, there were a few hundred thousand Earth grade spirit stones as well as a few healing pills respectively. To him, these were not valuable at all. The reason he took out these two storage bags was because he saw that Zhuang Yan did not have any storage equipment on her and Pu Qian had all along been carrying a broadsword on his hand so he definitely did not own any storage bag too. This was not surprising as it was not easy for a rogue cultivator who had not entered the Earth Realm to own a storage bag. Chapter 218: The Most Rundown Immortal Estate Chapter 218: The Most Rundown Immortal Estate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In the bag given to Zhuang Yan, there were a few boxes of clothes. These clothes were obtained by Mo Wuji from the black clothed woman¡¯s storage ring in Thunder Fog Forest. Since Zhuang Yan¡¯s clothes were torn and her back was exposed, he might have as well given them to her. "Ah, that¡¯s too valuable. I¡¯ve not even done anything to deserve it." While Pu Qian had no way to use spiritual will, his Transcending Mortality Stage cultivation and strong elemental energy made it easy for him to sense the contents within the storage bag. Seeing that Zhuang Yan wanted to speak too, Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Compared to my life, this is nothing. Spirit stones, no matter how good quality, will eventually be used up. Friends are the only true treasure. It¡¯s very fortunate for me to be able to make friends with brother Pu and sister Zhuang." These words came from the heart, as he was not very familiar with Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan. He did not expect Zhuang Yan to come back for him after he helped her. After all this was the world of cultivators, where he had seen too many selfish individuals. If Zhuang Yan did come back, it would be because he had saved her before. Pu Qian did not have to come back to save him at all, and just because he did anyway, Mo Wuji then decided to treat Pu Qian as a true friend. "Brother Mo, it¡¯s more of my good fortune to be able to befriend someone like you." Pu Qian just helped himself to the storage bag and secured it at his waist, replying loudly. He had clearly seen Mo Wuji saving Zhuang Yan in a situation that even Zhuang Yan¡¯s husband might not have helped for. Yet he knew that Mo Wuji was almost a complete stranger to Zhuang Yan. As someone in Spirit Building Stage Level 7, Zhuang Yan never thought that she would be able to obtain a storage bag at this level. On top of that, the storage bag seemed to contain top grade pills and spirit stones, but what truly touched her was that Mo Wuji was very thoughtful and left large boxes of women¡¯s clothing in it. "Thank you brother Mo, I¡¯ll go change up now." After listening to Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Zhuang Yan did not turn down the storage bag, instead returning words of thanks. She always felt that Mo Wuji was the kind of person that always had a solution for a problem, so someone like him probably would not care about one or two storage bags. In reality, Mo Wuji indeed did not care about those storage bags. He had quite a few storage bags on him already, and even up to four storage rings. "Go inside to change, we¡¯ll wait for you out here." Mo Wuji pointed at the door leading into the ship. "Ahh¡­" Only then did Zhuang Yan recall how scary and mysterious the inside of the ship was, which caused her to turn pale and loiter around the outer deck. So Mo Wuji had no choice but to say, "Then you should just change on the outer deck, we¡¯ll wait for you on the sea." After speaking, Mo Wuji grabbed a few broken poles and threw them into the sea. He pulled Pu Qian by the hand and leapt onto one of the poles. "Brother Mo, leaving sister Zhuang Yan there alone¡­" Pu Qian was shocked to see what Mo Wuji had left Zhuang Yan alone on the ship. But Mo Wuji simply replied while smiling, "Don¡¯t worry, the ship is now very safe. I¡¯ve been on it for quite some time already." But Pu Qian did not get it immediately, and Zhuang Yan was even more frightened. However, she believed that Mo Wuji would not harm her, so she quickly threw on a set of clothes, then jumped off the ship. Only when she landed on the pole that Mo Wuji prepared for her did she calm her wildly beating heart down. Compared to dying, staying on the ship by herself was the scariest thing that happened to her. As such one could see how much courage it took for her to come back for Mo Wuji. Soon she came to understand that it was not by chance that nothing happened to Mo Wuji on the ship. He probably knew that the ship was already safe, and the thing on board of the ship was likely killed by brother Mo. Otherwise, Mo Wuji would not have left her alone on the ship for no reason. For Pu Qian, he was more aware of what was going on. He had thought that the thing on the ship had been eliminated by Mo Wuji, and the storage bags that he and Zhuang Yan received were likely taken from it. However, he did not ask about it any further. Some things were better off not said. The three of them soon arrived on the island, and by then the five that were ahead of them had already left the shore. "The immortal estate should be on this island, but it should be a fake. Otherwise there shouldn¡¯t be that many maps of its location." Pu Qian sighed as he gazed at the heart of the island. Even Zhuang Yan had a sullen expression, "I¡¯m not sure how we¡¯ll go back in the future." To that, Mo Wuji had no answer. Their current location was not far away from the place marked out as the immortal estate. They were also supposed to search for Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong, which was why they let the ship drift off. Otherwise they would have kept the ship here, and it might have benefitted the five people that went ahead of them. Those five had left them in the lurch, so Mo Wuji had no plans to leave any leeway for them. "Let¡¯s go to take a look deeper in the island first. Perhaps there¡¯s really something for us to discover." Pu Qian was rather happy-go-lucky, and could see the best in every situation. Mo Wuji walked in front, Zhuang Yan in the center, and Pu Qian at the back. Although there were no tall mountains on the island, but countless ridges were present before them. All kinds of thorns and vines were around, and poisonous snakes and ants were even more prevalent. Thankfully even the Zhuang Yan, who had the lowest cultivation level, was at least at the advanced Spirit Building Stage, so while there were no roads around, the three of them proceeded with a decent pace. Two hours later, Mo Wuji stopped. He did not have to refer to the map at all, as the location in front of his eyes has been destroyed. "This place was recently destroyed, wait, the location of the immortal estate on the map seems to be here." Pu Qian took out the map to check as he spoke. Almost immediately, he continued confidently, "That¡¯s right, this is the place. The seven mountains on the left and right look like a ladle, and the position of the immortal estate is right in the center of the ladle. It seems like before Jiang Xiapeng and the others were here, there were still other people that had visited this place in the past." With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji found a staircase sloping underground, and once he dug up a some soil , he was able to see a stone slab. Below the slab was the spiraling staircase. It was a pity that his spiritual will was limited, and could not see deeper into the ground. "Brother Mo, we can go down from here. There¡¯s a marking on the map for this. But why has there been other people that visited this place before the few of us?" Zhuang Yan asked with a puzzled look on her face. Mo Wuji chuckled, "My observation skills are quite sharp. Moreover when we were walking over just now, there were some sounds that allowed me to infer that the ground was hollow." In reality, regardless whether it was the fresh soil or the underground staircase, Mo Wuji saw and analysed all of that using his spiritual will, and it had nothing to do with his observation skills. Having spiritual will as a Mortal Realm cultivator was a critical secret of his, so there was no need to inform others about it, even if he considered Zhuang Yan and Pu Qian as his friends. "Let me have a go." Pu Qian drew a mace from his storage bag and instantly separated the pile of fresh soil into two. This mace was a decent low grade spiritual item which Mo Wuji casually gave to Pu Qian, and he immediately used it to open a way for them. As for the heavy sword on his back, he did not bear to use it yet. In a few simple strokes, a medium sized bluestone slab was revealed beneath the soil, and with a casual flick of the mace, it was flipped open. A seemingly endless stone staircase appeared before the three of them, and a gust of cold air blew out from below. The underground was obviously cold. Deep inside, Mo Wuji was disappointed. If the immortal estate was at such a rundown location, then there¡¯s too many immortal estates in the world. Everyone knew that the map was a fake, but it would be a joke if it let to this location which even an ordinary mortal could build. Even if it was a shoddy immortal estate, its hidden location should at least have a concealment array, defence array, and a generic killing array. However, there was nothing here other than a stone staircase that anyone could have dug with a shovel. "If this is an immortal estate, then my house would not be much worse than one." Pu Qian also looked at the stone staircase in disappointment. But Zhuang Yan suddenly spoke up, "Brother Mo, brother Pu, this place looks like it has no special aura and it could have been dug out by a mortal. But how would a mortal have reached this place?" Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji nodded to himself. It was indeed not very possible for a mortal to come here. While there were not many strong demonic beasts in the sky sea, but the giant waves and howling winds were definitely not something that mortals could stand up to. "Let¡¯s go in to take a look, I¡¯ll take point." Mo Wuji took the first step down the stone staircase after speaking. "I¡¯ll cover the back. Later I¡¯ll return the bluestone slab to its original state." Pu Qian took the initiative to walk at the back. As she walked behind Mo Wuji, Zhuang Yan took out an illumination stone, and a ten meter radius around the staircase immediately lit up. Only then did Mo Wuji realise that the stone staircase was surrounded by bluestone, so it seemed like the person that made this staircase wasn¡¯t a simple character. At the end of the staircase there stood a stone door, and when Mo Wuji let his spiritual will seep through it, he was stunned momentarily. Beyond the stone door was a stone hall, and the people in the hall were no strangers for Mo Wuji. After all, Jiang Xiapeng and the rest had left earlier than them. However, what surprised him was that there were almost 20 people inside. Other than Jiang Xiapeng¡¯s group of five, there were over 10 people that he did not recognise. In the middle of the stone hall, there was an object that looked like a yurt [1]. Almost 20 people surrounded the yurt¡¯s exterior. As Mo Wuji pushed the stone doors open, 20 eyes¡¯ gazes fell on the three of them. Qi Wenxuan immediately rejoiced, "Yanyan, I was so worried about you. Thank god nothing happened to you. Quickly come to my side." To this, Zhuang Yan simply nodded her head, and remained at Mo Wuji and Pu Qian¡¯s side. She originally did not want to go to sea, but she did only after Qi Wenxuan repeatedly told her that he could protect her, and that he hoped that the both of them would live together to the ends of time after reaching the immortal estate. She only came along because of this. However, she realised not long ago that these words meant nothing. "Latecomers, behave yourselves and stand at the back." Seeing Mo Wuji walking straight to the stone hump at the center of the stone hall, a shrill voice loudly commanded. [1] A yurt is a traditional hut/tent of mongolians. Chapter 219: Da Shixiong’s Reputation Chapter 219: Da Shixiong¡¯s Reputation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The person that spoke was a man with a chin as sharp as his voice, and his body was brimming with spirituality. This was not the first time that Mo Wuji encountered a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, so with a single glance he could recognise that this man was one, and the man¡¯s cultivation level was much greater than Ju Qijian¡¯s. Sweeping his gaze across the almost 20 people present, Mo Wuji was sure that this man whose voice and chin were sharp as hell was the the strongest guy around. The stone hall was very spacious, and even if Mo Wuji¡¯s group of three approached the yurt in the center, they would not disturb anyone. Hence, once the shrill voice echoed out, Pu Qian drew the broadsword on his back. He looked at the Mo Wuji, and as long as Mo Wuji attacked, he would follow suit immediately. Jiang Xiapeng, who wanted to greet Mo Wuji after seeing that he was well and fine, quickly shut his mouth. This was because he had arrived earlier than Mo Wuji, and knew that the person giving instructions to Mo Wuji was a strong expert. Thus he did not want to show that he was acquainted with Mo Wuji. "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji stopped Pu Qian, as his spiritual will entered the yurt. The yurt was covered by layers of materials, so his spiritual will could only penetrate the surface. Despite that, Mo Wuji could feel that this yurt had something special about it. There was a sort of bloodthirsty aura in the yurt, and on top of that , there was the aura of rotting corpses. Although Mo Wuji did not know what exactly this yurt was, but he was sure that this was no treasure. He had just eliminated a ghost cultivator onboard the ship, so he was rather sensitive towards such things. The yin energy in the yurt was not dense, so it shouldn¡¯t have been a ghost cultivator. But since everyone could obtain the same map, how exactly was this map propagated out? Someone obviously distributed them intentionally. Hence even if it wasn¡¯t a ghost cultivator in the yurt, Mo Wuji did not want to stand out. "Let¡¯s back off, then get out." Mo Wuji did not care about the looks on everyone¡¯s faces, and really backed a few steps up. The smiling monk that knew Mo Wuji suddenly asked, "Mister Mo, did you guys get some treasure from the ship? How come even Pu Qian has a storage bag now? Old Na wants to rely on you now. Could you help me get a storage treasure too?" With this sentence, all eyes were on the three of them once again. "So you guys met with other opportunities?" The man with the sharp chin turned to face Mo Wuji. "What¡¯s that hanging from your neck? Take it off for me to take a look." His gaze moved from the storage bag on Mo Wuji¡¯s waist, to Mo Wuji¡¯s neck. "If you want to fight, then come at me. Don¡¯t say so much bullsh*t." In a second, the Tian Ji Pole appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. He initially did not want to engage in such a fight, because nothing much was known about the yurt still. But now that there were people that eyed his rings, he had no choice but to battle them. Deep inside he was very troubled. Even when he hung the rings around his neck, there were still people that were suspicious. However, Mo Wuji confirmed one point, which was that this smiling monk definitely was not a joker. He had backed off already, and this fight was also one that he could not afford to engage in. Hence this smiling monk was obviously trying to incite a battle between him and this Yuan Dan Stage guy. Pu Qian wielded his broadsword while standing beside Mo Wuji. Since they were friends, he would definitely participate in this battle. Even though Zhuang Yan was weak, she also held a magic treasure in hand and stood behind the both of them. "There¡¯s us too." A man and woman landed by Mo Wuji¡¯s side after speaking. Staring at the man and woman suspiciously, he realised that he did not know who they were, so why were they helping him? Even in a fight against a much stronger Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. "My two dao friends, I don¡¯t recall ever meeting either of you." Mo Wuji asked out of confusion. The woman bowed respectfully, "Even though Da Shixiong doesn¡¯t know us, we¡¯ve looked up to you for a long period of time. I¡¯m Sang Yiping, and this is my apprentice brother, Nie Zhengnong." The man standing beside Sang Yiping also bowed respectfully and said, "Nie Zhengnong greets Da Shixiong." Da Shixiong again? As Mo Wuji looked at the Tian Ji Pole in his hands, he understood the reason behind the current situation. They must have recognised him as the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705. "Since this is the case, I¡¯ll have to thank the both of you. Everyone let¡¯s not make any moves first, and just help me stay on standby." Mo Wuji nodded his head as he spoke. Although the man with the sharp chin was a higher level Yuan Dan Stage cultivator than Ju Qijian, in terms of strength, he might not have been stronger than Ju Qijian. If Mo Wuji could kill Ju Qijian, he naturally would not have to take special note of this guy. When Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong stood by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, the man with the sharp chin seemed to remember something. He closely inspected the Tian Ji Pole in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands, and suddenly bowed respectfully, "Sorry if I¡¯ve offended you in any way. My friend, please feel free to decide whether you want to stay or leave." After hearing this sentence, everyone became stunned. The man with the sharp chin was the strongest guy here, in the intermediate Yuan Dan Stage, and more importantly he would burst into a fit of rage and ignore everything when angered. For a short tempered and arrogant intermediate Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to say such words, it was equivalent to an apology. But Mo Wuji had no spirituality about him, was young, and was at most in the basic Transcending Mortality Stage. What could a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator do to get a Yuan Dan Stage expert to apologise to him? Only Sang Yiping remained calm, as though this was the natural thing to happen. If Mo Wuji was not this capable, he would neither have been called Da Shixiong by countless numbers of people, nor become the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705. It would be even less likely that he would be appointed the next Tian Ji Sect Sect Head by her adoptive father. Since his opponent was not willing to fight, Mo Wuji naturally would not fight either. He guessed that this man with the sharp chin had recognised him, so it would seem that the Tian Ji Pole was a little too conspicuous. "Let¡¯s go." Since they weren¡¯t going to fight, Mo Wuji turned and left. Seeing that Mo Wuji was leaving, Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan quickly followed behind him. Just as they were chasing Mo Wuji, it seemed as though Mo Wuji was more attractive than the immortal estate itself. A weird "hehe" laughter echoed out in the chamber, followed by a voice that made everyone feel uncomfortable, "Since it¡¯s been so difficult to gather everyone here today, you guys shouldn¡¯t leave¡­" After the voice stopped, the middle of the yurt slowly opened up, revealing a small crack. The crack gradually got bigger and bigger, and the yurt seemed to unwrap itself. All of the cultivators surrounding the yurt swiftly backed off, and a few even rushed to open the stone door, but it simply did not budge. "So it indeed wasn¡¯t something good. Sigh, we¡¯ve been too greedy." Pu Qian, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, sighed. However, both Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong¡¯s gazes fell on Mo Wuji, and both of them were pleasantly surprised, as their set head indeed had good foresight. They initially did not think anything was up when Mo Wuji backed off from the challenge of a Yuan Dan Stage expert. But after they found out that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705, this didn¡¯t make sense to them anymore. Only now did they understand what was going on. Mo Wuji was not afraid of the Yuan Dan Stage expert, but instead had felt something was wrong with the yurt. However, they did not sense any problems with it after standing around for a long period of time. "Da Shixiong¡¯s observation skills are indeed top notch, junior here is willing to take instructions from you." Seeing that the crack in the yurt grew larger over time, the first to step to Mo Wuji¡¯s side was the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator with the sharp chin. Da Shixiong? One of the Great Circle of Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator seemed to recall something, and he also rushed behind Mo Wuji, and called out, "Da Shixiong, junior is also willing to take instructions from you." The remaining people had never heard of who this Da Shixiong was, so they simply stared at each other. However, as the man with the sharp chin, the strongest cultivator present, had deferred to Mo Wuji, the rest of them followed suit and called Mo Wuji their Da Shixiong, then stood behind him. "Master, this monk had once swore that I would inherit your mantle, and if anyone laid a hand on you, Little Na would be the first to cut him down." The smiling monk spoke with confidence as he stood to Mo Wuji¡¯s side. As all of this happened, Mo Wuji was speechless. His initial plan was to sneak away, but now he had somehow become the leader of a group of people. "Da Shixiong, what¡¯s inside that thing?" Sang Yiping, as the one closest to Mo Wuji, softly asked him as her eyes were stuck to the cracking yurt. Mo Wuji was similarly observing the yurt that was cracking open, and casually replied, "This should be a strong corpse cultivator, and the stone staircase and this location is very likely what he built before switching to corpse cultivation." When everyone heard this, a chill went through their bodies, and their scalps went numb. It was much harder to be a corpse cultivator than a ghost cultivator ot yin cultivator, but compared to cultivators at the same cultivation level, a corpse cultivator would be undoubtedly the strongest. This was because they had a body of flesh which was extremely durable and poisonous. "He he, little boy you¡¯re quite knowledgeable¡­" The voice from inside the yurt sounded out again, and the crack in the yurt opened up "Da Shixiong, what should we do?" The man with the sharp chin was quite flustered. He chose to rely on Mo Wuji as he accurately guessed that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705, who he considered his Da Shixiong. Rogue Cultivator 2705 helping True Lake Stage Level 9 cultivator Shi Jinwen to kill the alien cultivator that was half a step into the Nihility God Stage was not a rumor, and had been confirmed personally by Shi Jinwen. No matter how strong he was, he was only a mere intermediate Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, so how would he dare to oppose Rogue Cultivator 2705 who killed someone who was half a step into Nihility God Stage? Even with Shi Jinwen¡¯s full support, killing someone like that was not something he could do. As Mo Wuji was about to speak, the identity jade token in his storage bag began trembling. He quickly grabbed the jake token. It was his Heaven Seeking Palace outer disciple identity jade token. If it trembled now, it meant that there was someone from Heaven Seeking Palace seeking help nearby. Without any hesitation, Mo Wuji activated the jade token in his hands to show the other party his current location. He also had to request for assistance, as he could not open the stone door, and also guessed that it would be very difficult to open too. "Boom!" A terrifying explosion rang out from above their heads, and following which the stone hall began to tremble vigorously. Cracks appeared on the walls, and pieces of stone started to fall. Mo Wuji immediately shouted, "Everyone, let¡¯s attack the stone door together." Chapter 220: Borrowing One’s Sword Chapter 220: Borrowing One¡¯s Sword Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The ability of Da Shixiong to bring people together was displayed at this crucial moment. Regardless of whether the stone door would collapse due to the attacks from the outside, the reaction of cultivators on the inside was extremely fast. Almost as soon as Mo Wuji¡¯s words just left his mouth, everyone drew their own magic treasures to attack the top of the stone door. If there was nothing going on in the stone hall, then the stone door would have no issues enduring the combined attack of everyone. But the stone hall was trembling, and the stone door together with it, hence under a single full strength combined attack of the group of cultivators, a crack opened up on the door. All of them charged wildly through it and out of the door, and fortunately, the stone staircase was still intact. One by one they rushed up the stone staircase, and out of the collapsing soil. Two cultivators locked in battle were shocked by the sudden appearance of these 10 to 20 figures shooting out of the ground, and they stopped fighting immediately. The first person Mo Wuji saw was Granny Linglong, who was in a destitute state. Dried blood clung to her body, and she leaned on a piece of rock while panting. Her opponent, a black clothed man, was similarly injured and panting. His condition was probably not any better than Granny Linglong¡¯s. The instant Granny Linglong laid eyes on Mo Wuji, she let out a sigh in her heart. When she had found out that there was someone from Heaven Seeking Palace nearby, she was elated, as it was unlikely for her to ever escape her opponent¡¯s hands at the rate she was going. Moreover, the boundless sea lay before her, and there was no way for her to tell which direction she was going in. Stopping at this area to battle was very dangerous. Once they started fighting, she would never get the chance to escape again. Hence, she was relying on the assistance by the person from Heaven Seeking Palace, but who would have known that it would be Mo Wuji. If it were an elder or at least a cultivator in Earth Realm or higher, perhaps there was a chance that she would be saved. However, it was Mo Wuji that appeared, which meant that all hope was lost. The black clothed man soon realised that all of the cultivators that appeared were extremely weak, and there was no one that could oppose him. The one one that remained as a threat was the woman that he had hunted for days, so everything would wait until he had eliminated her. But before he could pounce at Granny Linglong, Mo Wuji shouted out, "Everyone please don¡¯t leave so quickly. The corpse cultivator obtained the immortal estate, and will definitely intend to silence us. So let¡¯s ambush him when he emerges from the ground. If we fail, remember to escape in different directions. As long as one of us can escape, then the corpse cultivator will not be able to keep his secret." Immortal estate? These two words not only stunned Granny Linglong, but also the black clothed man. What was an immortal estate? It was a top grade treasure that immortals of legend left behind. To ordinary cultivators, obtaining top grade spiritual items would be the best they could do, but top grade spiritual items were only considered scraps in front of an immortal estate. Another way to put it was that no matter how lousy a person was, as long as he could get an immortal estate, he would have the chance to spread his wings and transform into one of the mysterious immortals. "Boom!" Another violent explosion rang out, and the stench of corpses spread through the air. It¡¯s really a corpse cultivator? The black clothed man suddenly became agitated. Just as Mo Wuji had said, this corpse cultivator must have come to eliminate them. "Everyone attack." Mo Wuji wielded his Tian Ji Pole, condensed his aura, and this time, he did not mention the immortal estate. Something like the immortal estate only had to be brought up once. If he continued to rattle on with these two words, the other people might actually get suspicious of him. Most importantly, Mo Wuji did not want the corpse cultivator to know about the immortal estate. As expected, before Mo Wuji and co. attacked, the black clothed man leapt at the corpse cultivator. Compared to the immortal estate, Granny Linglong was nothing. Countless beams of light flew over, and the corpse cultivator got trapped by the black clothed man instantly. No one heard Mo Wuji ask them to charge at the corpse cultivator, so a few of them roughly understood that he had said so in order to make the black clothed man block the corpse cultivator for them. Many people even turned to leave, and were soon far away from it all. However, most of them stayed behind, as they knew that there was no ship, so they could not truly escape. Mo Wuji walked in front of Granny Lingling and bowed respectfully, "Elder, your strength is much greater than ours, so may I invite you to join forces with the black clothed man to deal with this corpse cultivator. If this corpse cultivator manages to leave, it will be disastrous." Even though the black clothed man and Granny Linglong had fought till the point that they only had 10% of their strength remaining, Mo Wuji knew that he still could not afford to provoke them. Granny Linglong seemed to understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words as soon as Mo Wuji asked her to lend a helping hand. Her nickname was Linglong, because she was very observant and could understand other people¡¯s perspective easily. Hence, Granny Linglong only had praises for Mo Wuji¡¯s plan to delay the corpse cultivator with the black clothed man. Now that Mo Wuji invited her to lend a hand, disregarding the fact that she did not have much strength left to attack, even if she did, she would not do so. "I¡¯ve been poisoned. Even though I¡¯ve got it under control with some pills, but I can¡¯t recover anytime soon. Did the corpse cultivator really obtain the immortal estate?" Hearing that, Mo Wuji turned around to tell Pu Qian, "Brother Pu, take the map of the immortal estate out." Without any hesitation, Pu Qian passed the sea map to Mo Wuji, and he opened it up, "Elder look, we came here following this map. We didn¡¯t expect that we would be discovered by the corpse cultivator once we saw the immortal estate. The corpse cultivator not only snatched the immortal estate, but also want to silence us for good." While the black clothed man was battle it out with the corpse cultivator, his spiritual will still kept monitoring Granny Linglong. But he did not let the corpse cultivator go, in fear of letting the corpse cultivator escape. Since Mo Wuji had opened up the immortal estate sea map in Pu Qian¡¯s hands, he could see everything clearly with his spiritual will. There was no longer any doubt about the legitimacy of the claims, as such a map could never be made in a rush. An immortal estate really did exist here, and just as Mo Wuji had said, they found the immortal estate, which eventually got snatched away by the strong corpse cultivator. As for why the corpse cultivator did not kill them first, naturally it was because the corpse cultivator had to rein in the immortal estate. Compared to an immortal estate, everything else was nothing. A treasure with consciousness like the immortal estate should have been reined in as early as possible after being discovered, otherwise, it would run away. Ants like Mo Wuji and co. could wait to be killed after reining in the immortal estate. After confirming the existence of the immortal estate, the black clothed man¡¯s attacks at the corpse cultivator became even wilder. The corpse cultivator was going crazy too, as he thought that he only had to catch a few ants to sacrifice to his cultivation array, but who knew that he would meet such a strong expert. If this expert weren¡¯t already exhausted, he would have been killed a long time ago. Unfortunately, he did not hear what Mo Wuji had said before, otherwise he definitely would have said that he did not possess any immortal estate. As Mo Wuji saw the black clothed man increase the intensity of his attacks, he asked softly, "Elder, what sort of poison did you get hit with?" Granny Linglong knew that Mo Wuji wanted to save her, and answered with a sigh, "The poison that I¡¯m afflicted with, even I myself can¡¯t refine its antidote at a moment¡¯s notice. The pill required is a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill, and the spiritual herbs needed are extremely valuable, the Solitary Dark Pill¡­" "Did Elder get hit by nerve poison?" Mo Wuji passed a jade bottle to Granny Linglong after being surprised, "Quickly take this broken pill. That corpse cultivator is not strong enough, and will be killed soon." "This is a Solitary Dark Pill? You¡­" After a few words, Granny Linglong poured the broken pill into her mouth, then shut her eyes. Once the black clothed man saw Granny Linglong consume the broken pill, he felt something was up, so he shot a beam of light at her. Mo Wuji no longer held back, swinging his Tian Ji Pole straight at the beam of light. "Bang!" Wild elemental energy scattered everywhere, which originated from the casual beam of light. The wave of energy caused Mo Wuji to fly tens of meters back, and he was only stopped mid flight by Pu Qian. Indeed something was up, in an act of desperation, the black clothed guy¡¯s body glowed red, and a frightening aura built up around him. "Boom!¡¯ The red light enveloped the corpse cultivator, and a red blade cut his head off cleanly. Under the claws of the black clothed man, the corpse cultivator¡¯s body exploded into bits. Then Granny Linglong opened her eyes, leapt up in the air, and a three legged cauldron flew towards the back of the black clothed man. With all this unfolding before him, Mo Wuji was stunned, and thought to himself if that Shi Jinwen¡¯s penchant for using pill cauldrons to make magic treasures came from Granny Linglong. "Bang!" The giant cauldron smashed into the black clothed man¡¯s back, causing him to spit out a stream of blood. Even so, the black clothed man still did not turn back to defend against Granny Linglong, but instead he grabbed everything on the corpse cultivator, and disappeared into a flash of red light. Mo Wuji¡¯s jaw dropped at this, as such abilities were completely beyond what he could imagine. When the black clothed man left, he could only feel a slight space-time ripple, and he had no clue where the guy was headed to. Granny Linglong on the other hand sighed in relief, and said gratefully, "Mo Wuji, You saved me today." "Elder, we actually helped each other. If elder did not blow the door open, we would have died long ago under the hands of the corpse cultivator. I don¡¯t know who used a fake immortal estate map to lure us over, then dug this corpse cultivator out of nowhere. That reminds me, how did that black clothed man leave?" Mo Wuji was very puzzled by the black clothed man¡¯s method of escape, which seemingly left no traces behind. "He was severely injured by the hit from my cauldron, and got away using the Water Escape Technique. The Water Escape Technique is one of the five elemental escape techniques, and is a heaven grade technique. It is valuable beyond measure, and even Heaven Seeking Palace does not have one of them." Granny Linglong explained. The corpse cultivator was killed, the black clothed man escaped, and Mo Wuji was building ties with an expert. Most of the cultivators bade their farewells, and had to rely on their own ability to get off the island. As Granny Linglong saw many of them greet Mo Wuji before leaving, some even calling him Da Shixiong, she was very confused. From what she observed, Mo Wuji¡¯s qualifications were very ordinary. But she did not keep up with any gossip, so the fact that this Da Shixiong was the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705 eluded her. When Zhuang Yan saw the look in Qi Wenxuan¡¯s eyes as he left, she still managed to steel her heart and stay. Trick me once, shame on you. Trick me twice, shame on me. Other than Zhuang Yan, Pu Qian and the man and woman that stepped out to help Mo Wuji previously did not leave too. "Do the both of you have any business with me?" Seeing that these two people did not leave, Mo Wuji felt that they probably knew him as more than Rogue Cultivator 2705. Chapter 221: Tian Ji Sect’s Sect Head Chapter 221: Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Sang Yiping looked around hesitantly, not saying another word. What kind of person was Granny Linglong? In a single glance, she could tell that Sang Yiping wished to speak with Mo Wuji alone, so she simply said, "My flying treasure met with some malfunctions, I need to go repair it." Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved that lavender plank and passed it to Granny Linglong, "Senior, I saw this floating in the sea, it shows the Pill Pagoda mark on it." Granny Linglong gratefully accepted that plank, "Many thanks, this does belong to me. Back in the Sky Sea, that fella ambushed my flying treasure. With this, my flying ship would be repaired faster, later, we can go back together." With that, Granny Linglong went off to the side and started fixing her flying treasure. Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan also took this opportunity to wait by the side. Mo Wuji was going to leave this place soon, and he definitely wouldn''t leave them behind. After the trio left, Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong suddenly knelt in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji startled, and immediately took a few steps back and said, "What''s the meaning of this? Please get up." Sang Yiping didn''t stand but said pleadingly, "Tian Ji Sect''s Sang Yiping greets the sect head." Nie Zhengnong followed after, "Tian Ji Sect''s Nie Zhengnong greets the sect head." One look and Mo Wuji knew that something was wrong. However, he was not totally unfamiliar with this Tian Ji Sect. His Immortal Mortal Technique originated from the Tian Ji Sect, and he was extremely grateful to the Tian Ji Sect for it. "The two of you, please stand up and talk. There must be a mistake, I''m just a small outer disciple from the Heaven Seeking Palace, I''m not your Tian Ji Sect''s sect head." Mo Wuji said seriously. He was starting to seriously consider whether this two people kneeling in front of him and calling him the ''sect head¡¯ had something to do with the Immortal Mortal Technique. Regardless, he was not going to return the manual. He had just reached the Transcending Mortality Stage and he did not even enter the Earth Realm yet. Without the manual, what would he do? "No, before our previous sect head perished, he designated you as our Tian Ji Sect''s next sect head. May Senior Mo accept this designation." Not only didn''t Sang Yiping get up, her head went down even lower. Mo Wuji directly pulled Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong up and said doubtfully, "Why? I don''t think I¡¯ve even met your sect head. Also, when discussing about such important affairs, just go straight to the point. There''s no need to kneel on the ground and talk." "Yes." Sang Yiping inhaled deeply and continued, "A few months ago, our sect head received an invitation and the person who invited him was Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­" Mo Wuji instantly furrowed his brows, "Junior Sang, I believe that you should know that I''m Rogue Cultivator 2705 by now, but I¡¯ve never invited the Tian Ji Sect''s sect head for anything." Sang Yiping wiped a tear off the corner of her eye, "I know, but our sect head believed that it was you. At that time, he was urgently looking for you, so he did not hesitate to go to the Yin Tomb Beach to look for you. Thereafter, our sect head never returned." "Did you find out who did it?" Mo Wuji¡¯s expression immediately turned solemn. To use his name to harm others, it didn''t matter who it was, he would definitely screw that person over. Sang Yiping said through gritted teeth, "It was the Yu Lin Lei Clan¡­" Hearing the four words ''Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯, Mo Wuji suddenly thought: Could this matter be related to me? As expected, his thought was confirmed when Sang Yiping continued, "To find you, the Yu Lin Lei Clan searched through the entire Yan City. Eventually, they noticed the Tian Ji Sect''s rankings on the Contribution Point Board. Our Tian Ji Sect doesn''t have any outstanding talent, so it was expected for it to not appear on the rankings. However, when you used your contribution points to exchange for something from our sect, those contribution points became our Tian Ji Sect''s, causing our rankings to rise rapidly. The Lei Clan discovered that rise¡­" There was no need for Sang Yiping to carry on; Mo Wuji was already very clear what had happened. The Yu Lin Lei Clan''s greed was insatiable, and it probably wanted to force the Tian Ji Sect to reveal what was it that he had exchanged, it even required so many contribution points. At the same time, the Yu Lin Lei Clan might even want to use the Tian Ji Sect to discover his whereabouts. Mo Wuji sighed and continued, "I have implicated your sect head. I never expected for the Yu Lin Lei Clan to be so shameless. If they wanted to find my whereabouts, naturally, your Tian Ji Sect would know about it " Sang Yiping said resolutely, "Even if we did, our sect head would not reveal even half a word. Our Tian Ji Sect''s teaching is: Our disciples will stand till their deaths, no Tian Ji Sect disciple will kneel while alive." Mo Wuji''s expression changed; this was the first time he developed a sense of respect towards the Tian Ji Sect. In the world of cultivation, there were many sects which betrayed others. To develop such a core teaching, how much courage did this Tian Ji Sect have? "After the Lei Clan killed our Tian Ji Sect''s sect head, they continued to secretly kill their way to the Tian Ji Sect encampment, causing the Tian Ji Sect to face destruction. Perhaps, only the two of us remain in the Tian Ji Sect¡­" "What?" When Mo Wuji heard this, a flame burned in his heart. If the Yu Lin Lei Clan killed the Tian Ji Sect''s sect head, and even destroyed the Tian Ji Sect, then they were simply too vicious and despicable. If the Tian Ji Sect was completely destroyed because of this, then he definitely had to help Tian Ji Sect seek this vengeance. Because he killed Lei Chenghe in the Yan City Immortal Jade Tower, he had incited the Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s rage onto the Tian Ji Sect. Sang Yiping clenched her fist tightly, "Before this, the First Elder of the Tian Ji Sect predicted that the Yu Lin Lei Clan might extinguish our Tian Ji Sect, so before that happened, the sect dispersed our sect''s talents. This is to let us train, and if nothing happens, we would return after half a year. But if the Tian Ji Sect was to get destroyed, we would listen to the sect head¡¯s words, that is to find and appoint you as the next Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head, and not let the Tian Ji sect¡¯s heritage be lost." When she got to this point, Sang Yiping bowed deeply; this time, she didn''t kneel on the ground. Mo Wuji guessed, he had been chosen by the previous sect head to inherit his role, should be because of the exchanged Immortal Mortal Technique. It definitely wasn''t because he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. Sang Yiping''s eyes were already red, "Our Tian Ji Sect''s sect head knows that the Immortal Mortal Technique is far from ordinary, he said that there definitely must be some reason why you used that exorbitant amounts of contribution points to exchange for it. That Immortal Mortal Technique is the treasure of our Tian Ji Sect, if Brother Mo is truly able to cultivate with that technique, then it is only logical for you to become our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head.. My sect head said this before, Brother Mo is a dragon among man, hiding within the mortals. Our Tian Ji Sect, this Xuan sect, might not catch your eyes¡­" Mo Wuji lifted his hand and stopped Sang Yiping from continuing, "Junior Sang, you don''t need to incite me with such words. I''ve already decided to take up this role. From today onwards, Tian Ji Sect¡¯s heritage will not be broken.The vengeance from the destruction of the Tian Ji Sect, will also be personally reaped by me." The Tian Ji Sect''s destruction clearly had a direct relation to him. He was willing to be the Tian Ji Sect''s sect head, not for any other reason, it was simply to seek revenge. Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong were instantly enlivened, especially Sang Yiping. From her perspective, Mo Wuji was extremely talented, but he chose to conceal himself among the rogue cultivators, it definitely wasn''t because he didn''t wish for glory. Unexpectedly, when she explain her reasons, he did not hesitate and agreed with her words. In the outside world, Rogue Cultivator 2705 was hailed as everyone''s Da Shixiong because of his expansive sense of justice, and his kindness. From the looks of it, this was true. "Sang Yiping, Nie Zhengnong greets the sect head." The two started to kneel again. Mo Wuji lifted his hands and stopped them as he said clearly, "From now on, besides towards closed ones and masters, our Tian Ji Sect disciples will never kneel." "Yes." Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong eagerly responded. In reality, besides one''s closed ones and masters, there really wasn''t anyone else that a cultivator should kneel for. "Sect head¡­" Mo Wuji immediately interrupted Sang Yiping''s words, "From now on, just call me head senior brother. That sounds much closer." Sang Yiping hastily said, "Yes senior apprentice brother. This is the sect head token of our Tian Ji Sect. The sect head''s Tian Ji Sword disappeared along with the sect head." Mo Wuji grabbed the token and an icy coldness seeped into his hand. The token looked completely white but Mo Wuji seemed to fill that there was an image hidden within the whiteness. Even with his spiritual will, he wasn''t able to clearly see the picture. After keeping the sect head token, Mo Wuji turned and faced far into the sea and said calmly, "One day, I will reclaim the sect head''s sword from the Lei Clan." Granny Linglong was still repairing her flying treasure, so Mo Wuji brought Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong to meet Pu Qian. "Brother Pu, Junior Zhuang, I wonder what you two intend to do from here." Mo Wuji, Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan were already friends, so his words became more direct. "I intend to find a sect and see whether I can be an inner disciple," Zhuang Yan replied. Qi Wenxuan''s heartlessness caused Zhuang Yan to be unwilling to go back home. Previously, she ignored the advice of her family and eloped with Qi Wenxuan. Pu Qian chortled, "Even though I didn''t obtain the immortal estate, I did gain something from this trip, that is a friend in Brother Mo. I wonder where Brother Mo will be going, you seem to be familiar with that senior." Mo Wuji did not tell Pu Qian that the senior was Granny Linglong. Otherwise, Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan might not how to act. "The Tian Ji Sect was destroyed because of me. I vowed to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect and take revenge for the sect. Brother Pu and Junior Zhuang, if you''re willing, how about you join me in the Tian Ji Sect." Mo Wuji did not beat around the bush; by now, he was familiar enough with Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan. Pu Qian was startled and he immediately said doubtfully, "Brother Mo, to be a sect head or even an elder, you must be appointed. It¡¯s not enough that you¡¯re willing to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect." Mo Wuji retrieved his sect head token, "Brother Pu, I''m already the Tian Ji Sect Head, and this was the wishes of the previous sect head. If you''re willing to join the Tian Ji Sect, then I will be the head senior brother. If you''re unwilling, you can leave with that senior, we will still be friends." Pu Qian heard Mo Wuji''s words and immediately clasped his fists, "Pu Qian is willing to join the Tian Ji Sect. Greetings head senior brother." Zhuang Yan followed after, "I will join Brother Pu to enter the Tian Ji Sect. Greetings head senior brother!" Chapter 222: The Sunken Island Chapter 222: The Sunken Island Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At the same moment, Granny Linglong walked over to ask, "Is everything ready? If it is ready, we shall leave now." Mo Wuji replied in a hurry, "Senior, may I trouble you to bring four of my friends back to the Heaven Seeking City first. I may have to stay here for a few days before returning." Finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji said to Sang Yiping, Pu Qian and the two others, "I have two other friends who came here looking for an immortal estate. I would like to look for them for a few more days and if I still couldn¡¯t find them after a few days, I will immediately return to the Heaven Seeking City." "How are you going back?" Granny Linglong looked inquisitively at Mo Wuji as she questioned him. Mo Wuji could only tell her the truth, "I have a flying car." He immediately drew out his flying car as he spoke. "Ah, this flying car looks very familiar?" Granny Linglong cried out surprisingly after seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car. Mo Wuji guessed that Granny Linglong probably recognised his flying car while he simply responded, "This is a gift from the Sword Lake¡¯s senior apprentice sister Cen." Granny Linglong stared meaningfully at Mo Wuji before saying, "Alright, since this is the case, we shall leave now. Everyone get on board." Sang Yiping stood forward hastily, "Senior Mo, there may be very few demonic beasts out in sea but there will definitely be a few stranded cultivators. Since senior has a flying car, why don¡¯t we help senior with your search?" Mo Wuji thought for a moment and realised that Sang Yiping was right. She was right not on the point about there being quite a few stranded cultivators but on the point that he had a flying car magic treasure with him. Furthermore, it was different going back as compared to coming here. This time round, he was aware of the direction and time needed to reach back therefore, would not result in another lost situation out at the Sky Sea. Additionally, his flying car magic treasure could fit about six to seven people and it wouldn¡¯t affect him much with Sang Yiping and the rest following him. In fact, if the four of them were to return to the Heaven Seeking CIty only to be spotted by someone of the Lei Clan, there could be possibilities of real dangers then. If Hou Yucheng could investigate and find out that Mo Wuji was the one who bought the first style of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky back then, the Lei Clan might be able to do the same too. The moment Lei Clan found out that he was the one who bought the first style, they could very well be waiting for him at the Heaven Seeking City. "Alright, let¡¯s go together then," Mo Wuji decided on the spot before turning to Granny Linglong, "Senior you can head back first and I may have to trouble you to take care of Yan¡¯Er again." As for the Yan¡¯Er matter, Mo Wuji only mentioned this one sentence. With her mutant five elemental spiritual roots and a cultivation speed faster than his own, even without his reminder, the Heaven Seeking Palace would treat her like a treasure. Granny Linglong was very straightforward and she could tell that Mo Wuji was very close with the four of them. Moreover, she had urgent things to settle back at the sect so she said, "I shall take my leave then. You have to be careful of the black clothed man as I am afraid he did not escape far. Even though he was already severely wounded by me, he is still not someone you guys could handle." "I know," Mo Wuji asked yet again, "Senior, do you know which realm of cultivation is the black clothed man in now?" It was only back at the Yan City when he was using his contribution points to exchange for magic treasures that he found out that the alien cultivator that he accidentally kill was in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. Back at the platform to exchange for magic treasures, he saw that the points awarded for killing a Nihility God Stage Level 1 cultivator was 5000 points and 9000 points for killing a cultivator in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. His points increased by exactly 9000 points when he killed the alien cultivator¡¯s partner who was fighting against Honest Qi. Granny Linglong maintained a slightly dignified face, "That person should be as strong as I am, possibly in the True God Stage Level 1." "Senior, you are in the True God Stage?" Mo Wuji breathed in a mouthful of cold air as even though he knew that Granny Linglong was a Tier 7 pill refiner, he never thought that Granny Linglong¡¯s cultivation level was even much stronger. "Yes, I am indeed in True God Stage Level 1. If not for that person¡¯s successful ambush which poisoned me, I would never be afraid to face him," Granny Linglong thought of something as she said this before asking, "Mo Wuji, where did you get your Solitary Dark Pill? Why was it broken up? From what I know, there are not more than two pill refiners in the entire Five Big Empires who could concoct this pill and I am just one of the two." Mo Wuji instantly thought of Honest Qi and how he should still be alive. Mo Wuji reminded himself that when he officially joined Tian Ji Sect in the future, this Honest Qi had to be the first person he would guard against. Seeing how the alien cultivator that he killed was in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage, Mo Wuji guessed that Honest Qi could be in the same stage too. "This was something I accidentally found. Because I had some knowledge in pills, I knew it was the Solitary Dark Pill the first time I found it. This was why I kept it with me all along," Mo Wuji did not mention anything about Honest Qi or his spiritual will. Granny Linglong did not continue questioning him as she entered the flying ship, "I shall take my leave now, please do take care." Finishing, the flying ship casted a shadow before disappearing into the sky of the Sky Sea. "Head senior brother, is that senior really in the True God Stage of the Heaven Realm?" The moment Granny Linglong left, Sang Yiping asked inquisitively. Pu Qian and the rest looked enthusiastically at Mo Wuji as well because to them, a Heaven Realm expert was something they only heard in legends. Mo Wuji smiled, "Indeed, she is Granny Linglong of the Heaven Seeking Palace. I am also very fortunate to have met that senior." "Ah¡­" Sang Yiping cried out before asking yet again, "Head senior brother, didn¡¯t people say she had an eccentric character and was extremely uncompassionate?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "If she was compassionate, she wouldn¡¯t have time to cultivate every other day. So those who fail to get to talk to her deliberately insult her character. There are some things and some people whom you must personally interact with to find out if the rumours were actually true." Zhuang Yan agreed without hesitation, "Yes, this Senior Linglong is very friendly, unlike the rumours saying that she had a irritable temper." Sang Yiping nodded her head, "True, she is the greatest pill refiner in the Five Great Empires and if she were to agree to help everyone who asked her for help in refining pills, she would never be able to reach the True God Stage." Mo Wuji executed a few hand seals on his flying car magic treasure to start the flying car, "Let¡¯s leave this place first. It is still not very safe to be spending too much time here." With a corpse cultivator undergoing his closed door cultivation here, Mo Wuji felt that this place was a little strange. Even though he had little knowledge on what a corpse cultivator need for cultivation, he knew that the ground for his cultivation would definitely not be very safe. Everyone followed Mo Wuji into the flying car as he controlled the flying car out this island. Even though it wasn¡¯t a very big flying car, it was not very squeezy fitting five people in it. In fact, it was still quite spacious. The five of them became close very quickly now that they were all members of the Tian Ji Sect. Only Zhuang Yan was still feeling a little dejected because other than being the weakest here, it was likely that she still couldn¡¯t forget about Qi Wenxuan. ¡­ Half a day later, Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car started circling around a region in the sea. Noticing that Mo Wuji had been circling around this region for over an hour, Sang Yiping asked curiously, "Head senior brother, why are we hovering around here?" Mo Wuji took out the map that Jing Lengbei drew, "This was the sea map that I got and according to the mark on this map, there should be gourd-shaped island here. However, there isn¡¯t any island around here which made me suspect that the map could be wrong." "Ah, this map was also an immortal estate map but the location seemed different from the one we had," Sang Yiping was the first to recognise Mo Wuji¡¯s map as an immortal estate map. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Yes it is an immortal estate map but I think it could be a fake map¡­" "Head senior brother, this is not a fake map. I have been here about a month ago when my ship hasn¡¯t sink. I did see a gourd-shaped island here but in just a month¡¯s time, the gourd-shaped island went missing." Pu Qian responded instantaneously. Everyone started staring at each other before saying almost simultaneously, "That gourd-shaped island sunk." Mo Wuji said promptly, "I wish to go down to the sea to check it out." "Let¡¯s go down together, there might really be an immortal estate there," There were traces of excitement in Sang Yiping¡¯s eyes. If there really was an immortal estate, perhaps the rise of Tian Ji Sect could really be possible. Mo Wuji retrieve a rope before grabbing to the front of the rope, "We shall go down together then. Everyone grab hold of the rope and not disperse while following my lead." Zhuang Yan being the one with the lowest cultivation level here was also in the later stage of the Spirit Building Stage hence, should still be able to survive underwater for a couple of days without breathing. Only after everyone grabbed onto the rope did Mo Wuji keep the flying car and then jumped into the sea concurrently. Zhuang Yan was right behind Mo Wuji because she had the lowest cultivation level. Pu Qian, being the second strongest after Mo Wuji, was at the back of the rope. The seawater was incredibly cold and the pressure increased as they went deeper. After a few hundred metres, the weakest Zhuang Yan could not hold on anymore. Mo Wuji took out a Dire Yuan Pill and forced Zhuang Yan, who was behind him, to swallow it. Dire Yuan Pill would be able to stimulate the inner elemental energy of a person and increase his strength in a very short period of time. However, it would result in significant side effects. After swallowing a pill, there was a surge of elemental energy inside Zhuang Yan and the pressure of the surrounding water decreased significantly. She nodded appreciatively at Mo Wuji because if not for the Dire Yuan Pill, she would have to go up to the surface and not only was it not safe to be up there alone, it would attract the attention of other people too. After diving for another few hundred metres, just as Sang Yiping and Pu Qian were starting to struggle, their feet touched the bottom of the sea. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously but Pu Qian and Co, found out very quickly that what they stepped on wasn¡¯t the sea base but a place with grass. Pu Qian was the first to realise that they could be stepping on the gourd-shaped island but this gourd-shaped island had already sunk to the bottom of the sea. Mo Wuji had longed used his spiritual will to scan the place and could see things even clearer than the rest. The place they were standing on was indeed shaped like a gourd and was definitely the Gourd Island. Mo Wuji used his hand to signal for the rest of them to follow him as he started moving towards the entrance of the gourd. This island was not that big to begin with and coupled with their reasonably fast speed underwater, Mo Wuji managed to touch the mouth of the gourd in just an incense worth of time. Using his spiritual will to scan inside the mouth of the gourd, there was indeed an entrance to the island. Chapter 223: Underwater Immortal Estate Chapter 223: Underwater Immortal Estate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji and the rest reached the entrance as they noticed a flattened boulder. A few metres in front of the boulder was a huge black door of unknown material. Underwater, Pu Qian and Co. saw this door as a complete rock. However, only Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could sense clearly that there was a small gap in the middle of the door. Mo Wuji indicated using his hand to signal Pu Qian and the rest to hold on as he walked towards and pushed the door slightly. Mo Wuji then used more elemental energy to push the door and it was opened steadily. A beam of golden light shone out and Mo Wuji and Co. were stunned. What they saw was a wide hall with all four sides being decorated with golden bright inlays looking rich and compelling to them. Mo Wuji waved to Sang Yiping and the rest before being the first to enter the door. The moment he entered the door, the tremendous water pressure immediately dissipated into thin air. Not only this, there was not a single drop of water in front of him and it was almost like he was inside the legendary Dragon Palace where the water was only flowing on the outside; completely unable to seep through this huge door. In the next moment, Sang Yiping and the rest entered the door and similarly, the pressure was weakened. She looked up instinctively at a bright pearl at the top of the door before saying, "This is definitely a Water Dispelling Pearl, preventing the seawater from seeping through." The remaining people were all staring earnestly at this pearl, just how much could one of this Water Dispelling Pearl cost? Even a top grade spiritual item would not be as valuable as this Water Dispelling Pearl. "Could there really be a immortal estate here?" Sang Yiping was the first to react because with a Water Dispelling Pearl at the entrance, what else could it be other than an immortal estate? "Such dense concentration of spiritual energy. I do think it¡¯s possible too," Pu Qian said excitedly because the moment he entered, he could feel the dense concentration of the spiritual energy. Since he started cultivating, he had never cultivate at a place with such dense spiritual energy. Furthermore, this was only a bright golden hall at the entrance, he couldn¡¯t imagine just how rich the concentration be further inside this place could be. Sang Yiping¡¯s face was full of anticipation as she looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Head senior brother, what should we do?" Mo Wuji had already used his spiritual will to scan the entire place before saying, "Whether or not this is an immortal estate, we will only find out when we go check on it afterwards. However, the pearl at the entrance isn¡¯t some Water Dispelling Pearl but an ordinary illumination array. The reason why the water could not enter this place, had nothing to do with the pearl but because there is a water dispelling array in here." After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, everyone felt disappointed. Mo Wuji laughed, "Even if there is really nothing here, the dense spiritual energy here makes it a good spot to cultivate. Regardless, let¡¯s check it out first. After moving past the front portion of the hall, they were currently standing in the middle of the luxurious hall. There were words in the front portion of the hall which caught their attention, "So what if you¡¯ve gotten an immortal estate? So what? So what?" Three continuous ¡®So what?¡¯ caused everyone to be confused about its meaning. "Is this really an immortal estate? We¡¯ve entered an immortal estate?" Sang Yiping asked astonishingly. Even the soft spoken Nie Zhengnong was full of anticipation as he was amazed at his fate to have met Mo Wuji and then following him into this immortal estate. Mo Wuji sighed, "This should be where they inherit the immortal estate. The pity is that we are not the ones who¡¯ve entered the immortal estate because we are only standing in the hall of the immortal estate. The actual immortal estate should have been long inherited over. Everyone take a look." As he spoke, Mo Wuji pointed to an area in the front portion of the hall where there were a lot of faint but obvious footprints on the floor. These footprints formed a circle and in the middle of the circle was a few metres wide square area with no dust and footprints on it. "Head senior brother, are you saying that the immortal estate was in the centre and some people came, walked in circles around the it and then entered the immortal estate? But where is the immortal estate then?" Sang Yiping questioned inquisitively. Pu Qian, who was standing by the side, added, "I¡¯ve read in some notes that top grade treasures have consciousness. They are capable of recognising their owner and then leave with them on their own. Perhaps after this immortal estate was being inherited, it followed its new owner out of here." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t sure how exactly does an immortal estate work hence, could only understand it through Pu Qian¡¯s words. "Sigh, what a pity that we¡¯ve entered the place that used to hold the immortal estate yet end up leaving empty handed. It¡¯s so disappointing that this hall looked so resplendent only because of the illumination array," Sang Yiping sighed as she was evidently frustrated. Mo Wuji meticulously examined the footprints on the floor and concluded that it belonged to two people. However, he wasn¡¯t that close with Mo Xiangtong and Aunt Eleven to be able to recognise their footprints. From the bottom of his heart, Mo Wuji desperately wished that the footprints were left behind by them. "We may not exactly be leaving empty handed. Look, there¡¯s another door here," Mo Wuji stood up and walked towards the right side of the hall before pushing the door. An initially unmarked wall unexpectedly opened another small door. As the few of them entered this small door, they were momentarily stunned as it was actually a small bedroom. There was a bed and on the bed was a dried up corpse. In front of the corpse was a piece of leather roll, a ring and a crystal clear jade seal on the leather roll. Other than this, there were a few shelves made of unknown material beside the bed. There was a great variety of jade vases on the shelves itself. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Could this corpse be cultivating here too? Mo Wuji walked over and retrieved the leather roll, ring and jade seal. The words on the leather roll were very clear and everyone could read it distinctively. "Some Jing Gumu fought with over ten experts from the Zhen Mo Continent for the Six Cleanse Immortal Estate before escaping to the Sky Sea bearing a heavy burden. He landed on this Sky Gourd Island to recuperate and after recovering, the Six Cleanse Immortal Estate was of no help to him. What¡¯s the point of fighting so hard for this immortal estate? Closed cultivation for so many years and reaching my limit. Reliving the years, I cannot help but sigh and feel depressed. I have no fate with the Six Cleanse Immortal Estate so it shall be left in the hall for those with fate. Those who enter this small room, please take everything away. The jade seal could be use to ignite the immortal estate. With a drip of blood, it could be cultivated to recognise its owner. My remains shall not be moved¡­" "I know who this Jing Gumu is," After reading the content of the leather roll, Sang Yiping suddenly sounded out. Mo Wuji looked at Sang Yiping before asking, "Who is it?" "He is the sect head of the Heaven Sect. I¡¯ve heard that he loved collected odd treasures of the heaven and earth. As long as its precious, he will go all out to collect it¡­" "Ah, Jing Gumu?" Pu Qian shouted the moment he heard Sang Yiping. Mo Wuji asked yet again, "Is this Jing Gumu very famous? Why have I not heard of this Heaven Sect?" Sang Yiping answered, "Back then, Heaven Sect was the biggest sect in the entire Five Big Empires and even the Heaven Seeking Palace presently might not be able to surpass the Heaven Sect. The sect head of the Heaven Sect Jing Gumu was rumoured to have reached the late stage of the heaven realm and he was said to be the only expert in the entire Five Big Empires to have reached that stage. However, Jing Gumu didn¡¯t like to socialise and was extremely arrogant. Because of this, the Heaven Sect¡¯s disciples were all high above the rest. Many years ago, the sect head suddenly went missing. Without their sect head, conflicts that were previously suppressed came out all at once. The internal conflict between disciples led to a swift downfall of the sect. At this point, the Heaven Seeking Palace charged the Heaven Sect of 10 great sins before removing their name from the entire Lost Continent. The three great heaven sects in Xing Han Empire: Sky Sword Island, Sky Aria Palace and Sky Demon Sect were formed by the descendants of the Heaven Sect. In fact, my Tian Ji Sect was also related to the Heaven Sect because the elder who formed the Heaven Seeking Palace was once an outer disciple of the Heaven Sect. However, because of the low grade of my Tian Ji Sect, nobody really cared much about it." "Why did the Heaven Seeking Palace want to remove Heaven Sect?" Mo Wuji inquired. "I¡¯ve heard that the name of the Heaven Sect was a taboo to the Heaven Seeking Palace. One is Heaven while the other is Heaven Seeking which is definitely one tier lower than the former. When Jing Gumu was still around, the Heaven Seeking Palace did not dare to say much but after his disappearance, Heaven Seeking Palace did not stand on any ceremony at all," Sang Yiping explained. Mo Wuji nodded his head before putting the items in his hand back where it was previously placed, "Let¡¯s discuss more outside." The four of them saw Mo Wuji did not only leave the pills on the shelf alone but also placed the things he held back in place before following him out of this small room. After everyone exited the room, Mo Wuji said, "From this message left behind by the sect head of the Heaven Sect, we could infer a few things. Firstly, as long as you continue moving forward from this Sky Sea, one could reach a continent called the Zhen Mo Continent. Secondly, given the fact that Jing Gumu was in the late stage of the True God Stage and was still severely injured in the Zhen Mo Continent, this shows that there were a lot of experts in the Zhen Mo Continent. Thirdly, the message outside of the immortal estate just now should be left behind by Jing Gumu. Lastly, it was likely that the Sky Gourd Island sunk because someone took away the immortal estate. Perhaps the set up outside was put in place by Jing Gumu so that nobody would disturb him." "It could indeed be like that," Pu Qian immediately agreed with Mo Wuji¡¯s inference. Despite so, Mo Wuji still frowned and asked, "But did you all notice a few underlying problems?" "What problems?" Sang Yiping and the rest asked concurrently. Mo Wuji pointed to the hidden room at the back, "Firstly, the jade seal that was mentioned by Jing Gumu as the item to ignite the immortal estate was still there but the immortal estate was gone. If the immortal estate was not ignited, how could it be missing? Secondly, Jing Gumu escaped along the Sky Sea and chose this place to recuperate. From his words, we could tell that he was severely injured but who was the one who gave out the these sea maps of the immortal estate? One more problem is that since people could find the immortal estate, how could they not find the room Jing Gumu was in?" As he mentioned the last point, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart shivered because if the immortal estate was brought away by Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong, then it was really possible that they did not find Jing Gumu¡¯s room. Both of them had not cultivate before and was naturally unaware of the cultivator¡¯s door Dao. Nevertheless, the jade seal to ignite the immortal estate was still around, so how did the two of them bring the immortal estate away? Chapter 224: Deceiving Yourself Chapter 224: Deceiving Yourself Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The few of them stared at one another. Sang Yiping, Nie Zhengnong, and Zhuang Yan were not that knowledgable, hence they could not think of much on the spot. Pu Qian was too lazy to even think about these things deeply. But now that Mo Wuji had surfaced these issues, they realised that there were so many problems hidden within. "So head senior brother, you put those things back?" Sang Yiping finally understood why Mo Wuji would place those items back. "Perhaps Heaven Sect¡¯s sect head used some means to spread the news about the immortal estate." Zhuang Yan said unconfidently. "No, the Heaven Sect¡¯s Sect Head is not such a generous person. You can see that from the treasures he collects from all over the world. Head senior brother placed the ring back, otherwise if he opened it, there must have been all sorts of treasures in it." Sang Liping immediately added on. With a grin, Mo Wuji replied, "I¡¯ll definitely take the ring, but before I do, we have to resolve these issues. One more thing is that the spirit energy here is very dense, but we never saw anything like a energy gathering array or something similar. I suspect that there¡¯s a spiritual vein here." "A spiritual vein?" The few of them were simultaneously shocked. Mo Wuji nodded his head, and he swept the area with his spiritual will, sensing that the location with the densest spiritual energy was where Jing Gumu lay. If they wanted to investigate the source of the spiritual vein, they would have to move Jing Gumu¡¯s corpse. But in Jing Gumu¡¯s last words, he said not to move his dead body. Just as everyone was thinking about the spiritual vein that Mo Wuji mentioned, Mo Wuji¡¯s expression suddenly changed for the worse, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone come here quick¡­" Once he finished speaking, he was the first to charge into the house that Jing Gumu was in. Pu Qian and the rest completely trusted Mo Wuji by then, so when he entered the house, the remaining four of them followed suit. As Sang Yiping wanted to ask what was going on, a few rounds of guffawing could be heard coming from the outside. "Is that the True God Stage expert?" Zhuang Yan inquired with a shaky voice. At that point their faces all turned as pale as a ghost. This wild laughter was so frightening, so who could it have been other than that True God Stage expert? "It¡¯s him, and he knows that we¡¯re in here." The tone that Mo Wuji took while he spoke became more rushed now, as they were going against someone that was way stronger than they were. Even if this guy was severely injured, he was not someone they could deal with. Seeing that everyone was quite lost, Mo Wuji immediately rushed to a corner of the room behind Jing Gumu¡¯s corpse, at the same time gesturing to the others. When the few of them came closer, he continuously threw out spirit stones, then took out a few simple array flags. Those array flags were things that Mo Wuji could not create himself, so a few were low grade array flags that he had bought, and others were found from other people¡¯s storage rings. A few minutes later, he finally stopped. "Head senior brother, you¡¯re setting up a concealment array?" Nie Zhengnong recognised what he was doing and asked. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right, this is a simple concealment array which can¡¯t even be considered a low grade concealment array. Other than this concealment array, I added on a sound isolating array." At this moment, Mo WUji was truly thankful towards Chu Xingzi. Without Chu Xingzi, he would not be able to recognise simple arrays, much less set them up. Sang Yiping quickly followed up, "Granny Linglong said that the black clothed man is at True God Stage Level 1, so even if he was severely injured, and have less than 1% of his strength, could this concealment array block his spiritual will?" After Sang Yiping asked this question, Pu Qian and co. gazed at Mo Wuji hopefully, hoping that he would say that it could. But Mo Wuji shook his head, "You must be dreaming if you think this concealment array can block the spiritual will of a True God Stage cultivator. I daresay that the guy will be able to sense the existence of this concealment array right when he enters, then discover our presence." "Ah¡­" They were stunned, since this concealment array could not obscure them from the black clothed man¡¯s line of sight, why were they using it? Mo Wuji still calmly spoke, "We don¡¯t have anywhere to hide, so this is the best we can do." Sang Yiping and co. all lowered their heads, while their head senior apprentice was deceiving himself, this was all that he could do. Otherwise, where would they go to hide instead? This sort of trick has a name back where I lived, which is deceiving yourself [1]." Mo Wuji continued. "What¡¯s deceiving yourself¡­" When Zhuang Yan asked this, without his explanation, she had understood immediately. It meant covering your ears to steal a bell, so the only person you were deceiving was yourself. However, Sang Yiping still asked, "Head senior brother, there must be some reason behind your actions right?" Sighing, Mo Wuji replied, "I can only hope that my guess is correct. Everyone keep quiet, the guy will soon find us here." "Bang!" Jing Gumu¡¯s room was kicked wide open, and the and cracks spread throughout its walls. If things went as Mo Wuji expected, the black clothed man that killed the corpse cultivator would be standing at the door. Mo WUji did not use his spiritual will to sweep across this black clothed man, and could see that the injuries on him was just as Granny Linglong had said, without any improvement. He probably dared to come here because he did not take any of them, Mortal Realms cultivators, seriously. The black clothed man¡¯s gaze swept across the house, and when it reached Mo Wuji and co. hiding at in the corner, a cold grin appeared on his face. Such an inferior concealment array, and they thought they could hide from him. This was simply too bold of them. He did not bother with Mo Wuji and co, instead focusing straight on the three items at the corpse in front of him. His eyes lit up, and with a step forward, he grabbed the three items. Seeing the black clothed man do that allowed Mo Wuji to heave a sigh of relief. As long as the black clothed man did not attack them straight away, they would stand a chance. Even though they did not get acquainted with the black clothed man, but from his actions of killing the corpse cultivator without saying a word, then taking Granny Linglong¡¯s strike with the intention of bringing the corpse cultivator¡¯s leftovers away, they could infer that this was a very proud man. Once his mind was fixed on something, he would not ask for other people¡¯s opinions. Just like how he was so sure that the corpse cultivator had an immortal estate after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, so he simply went on to snatch it. Now that he did not act against them immediately after entering, instead going to take the few things in front of the corpse, meant that this man felt that the few of them were acting smart to set up a rubbish concealment array which wasn¡¯t worth mentioning. The black clothed man definitely wanted to keep the things that Jing Gumu left behind, before tearing up their concealment array, and letting them die slowly in fear. But this was what Mo Wuji was aiming for when setting up the concealment array. If he did not set it up, they would have been spotted immediately after the black clothed man entered, and perhaps the black clothed man would have killed all of them in seconds. However, people might try to act smart, and the black clothed man did so when he thought that Mo Wuji and co were the ones trying to act smart. In a flash, the black clothed man scanned through the scroll that Jing Gumu left behind, then he flipped the jade seal around a few times. However, he did not use his blood to refine it, instead knocking Jing Gumu¡¯s dead body aside with his hand. As for whatever Jing Gumu said about not moving his body, it was bullsh*t to him. The instant that he swept Jing Gumu¡¯s corpse to one side, the black clothed man stopped for a moment. He suddenly felt that something was not right. The youth in blue (Mo Wuji) had used words to manipulate him to fight with the corpse cultivator, and in the end that youth took the chance to save the woman that he had been pursuing for days. So that youth was definitely not an idiot, and since he wasn¡¯t one, wouldn¡¯t he know that setting up a concealment array here would not be able to block his field of vision? Perhaps the youth did not know that it would be him, the black clothed man, coming, so he thought that the concealment array would hold up. Regardless, it would be better if he killed the youth first. At this point, dense spiritual energy rose up. This was the source of a spiritual vein, which made the black clothed man very excited. He didn¡¯t expect that there was a spiritual vein beneath the dead body, no wonder Jing Gumu told people not to move his corpse. What would a dead want want with a spiritual vein? Not good, the black clothed man instantly reacted. The instant he did, a strong divine spirit rushed into his sea of consciousness. Spirit possession? A nasty expression appeared on the black clothed man¡¯s face, as he did not imagine that someone would try to transfer their spirit into him. He immediately sat cross legged, clashing with the newly introduced divine spirit in his sea of consciousness. His aim was to tear the divine spirit into pieces. "Crack" With a raise of his hand, Mo Wuji tore open the concealment array before him, and was the first to step out. The black clothed man knew what was going on straight away. This youth was really very cunning, and this was the second time that he had been manipulated again. "What¡¯s going on head senior brother?" Sang Yiping looked at the cross legged black clothed man uncertainly. This black clothed man had a savage expression, and seemed as though as he was struggling in pain. This time, Mo Wuji would not give him any chances, and he threw electroball after electroball at the black clothed man while saying, "Quickly kill this tramp." His guess was spot on, as the spiritual energy was very dense here, but they could not see any spirit stones or energy gathering array, so there obviously was a spiritual vein around. As Mo Wuji had opened 101 meridians, he was very sensitive to spiritual energy, and on top of that he had his spiritual will to search with, so he could guess that the spiritual vein was right below Jing Gumu¡¯s body. Just as the black clothed man had guessed, why would a dead man sit on top of a spiritual vein? The only possibility was that this dead man was actually not completely dead. With someone who was not completely dead, and could not attack others, it would mean that there was a divine spirit. Mo Wuji had no idea that divine spirits could possess others. Moreover, the dead body was sitting on a spiritual vein, and anyone would have sensed the source of spiritual energy, so they would have thrown the body to one side. As long as someone came into contact with the corpse Jing Gumu¡¯s divine spirit would have the chance to enter the person¡¯s sea of consciousness to undergo spirit possession. While the black clothed man was not Jing Gumu¡¯s ideal spirit possession target, he had swept the corpse to one side, so Jing Gumu had no choice but to act. When Jing Gumu started the spirit possession process, the black clothed man naturally would not be able to care about Mo Wuji and co for a short duration of time. Mo Wuji would have been an idiot if he did not act then. Moreover, this was the moment that he was waiting for. The rest of the group slowly began to understand what was going on, so they drew their spiritual items out, and attacked the black clothed man. The black clothed man was originally severely injured, and now he had to take a continuous barrage of electroballs from Mo Wuji, without being able to return a blow. This made him very frustrated. But as a True God Stage Level 1 expert, even if his strength was 90% gone, he could not be easily killed by a few of Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flashes. His injuries worsened, but none of the wounds were fatal still. "Boom Boom Boom!" Countless lightning bolts flew over at him, and the black clothed man simply laughed. While this leftover spirit was strong, it was even less durable than him now. It had been suppressed, and with a little more time, he would be able to suppress it completely. Then he would slowly dead with this sly youth. Threw the slew of electroballs that hit his body, he clearly knew the youth¡¯s cultivation level, which was no more than Transcending Mortality Level 1. At this moment, an extreme sense of fear overwhelmed him, as though as he was facing death itself. [1] TL: The raw is ÑÚ¶úµÁÁå, which literally means covering your ears to steal a bell. This means that you are deceiving yourself as you assume that other people cannot hear the sound of the bell if you can¡¯t. Chapter 225: Killing A True God Chapter 225: Killing A True God Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A beam of Invisible Sword Qi came slicing through the air; with a speed ten times faster than he expected, the sword qi pierced in between his brows. The moment the sword qi entered his forehead, it immediately exploded, rampaging and tearing his entire Mind Palace, then destroying his sea of consciousness¡­ How is this the power of the Transcending Mortality Stage? It is at least at the intermediate Yuan Dan Stage. However, among the few in front of him, the crafty young man whose power was the strongest, looked as though he was only in Transcending Mortality Level 1. The others¡¯ cultivation seemed to be higher than this crafty young man, but their attacks could not compare to that young man. "Pu¡­" The sword qi emerged from the back of the black clothed man¡¯s skull, shooting out a gush of blood¡­ "You¡­" The black clothed man furiously pointed at Mo Wuji; he was already tricked by Mo Wuji twice and he swore that there wouldn''t be a third time. He never expected that he still ended up dying by Mo Wuji''s third scheme. What kind of Transcending Mortality Level 1 is this? It''s clearly on par with the intermediate Yuan Dan Stage. But his body clearly doesn''t have any spiritual ripples, he doesn''t even look like he is in Transcending Mortality Level 1. Imagine, would any person who was facing death still purposely hide their abilities? He knew that after he got past this possession, he would be able to get rid of these few hands with a flip of a palm. But under this kind of circumstances, that crafty young man still concealed his true power, all for that final sword qi strike. "Pui!" The black clothed man coughed out a mouthful of blood; the unwillingness in his eyes gradually dispersed. What unwillingness? Even if he didn''t fall for the tricks now, he would fall for the next one. This rascal is far too cunning. This rascal clearly knew that the concealment array would not be useless against him, but this rascal still dared to use the concealment array right in front of him. How could this rascal not know that this was the best time to get rid of him? He was far too careless. "Honghong!" Yet another few electroballs descended. These electroballs are many folds stronger than before? The black clothed man chances of survival were long destroyed by Mo Wuji; now with these electroballs blowing the black clothed man''s brains out, he had truly ceased to breath. Pu Qian and co. saw Mo Wuji killing that black clothed man, and they were incomparably ecstatic. Sang Yiping wiped the cold sweat dripping off her forehead, "Head senior brother, if not for you, we would definitely be dead. You actually killed a True God cultivator. That''s truly amazing." Mo Wuji weakly retrieved a few healing pills and put them in his mouth. Just now, he concealed his power, and at the final moment, he swallowed a Dire Yuan Pill, explosively increasing his elemental energy, all for that final Invisible Sword Qi. He was afraid that the black clothed man¡¯s forehead would be extremely tough. If his Invisible Sword Qi was unable to pierce through his forehead, he would immediately bring the rest to escape. Luckily, that black clothed man''s fleshly body wasn''t trained to the point where he could block against the Invisible Sword Qi. Truly, an additional skill was very useful. He truly did not have any skills to practise so he casually learnt the Invisible Sword legacy. Today, this Invisible Sword showed its real usefulness. "Don''t go over." Seeing that Pu Qian was about to go forward, Mo Wuji hastily cried out, "Just now, I was able to kill that black clothed man, wasn''t because of my trick, but because the Heaven Sect''s Sect Head Jing Gumu was trying to possess him ÎÒ͵ÁËÒ»¸ö¿Õ×Ó.Now that the black clothed man has been killed, his soul would be dispersed. But for that Jing Gumu, his abilities far exceeded the black clothed man, and he had condensed his soul for multiple years, so his soul might not disperse. As Mo Wuji spoke, he threw out ten array flags. In a short period of time, he installed a soul confining array around the black clothed man''s corpse. "This sect head hasn''t been out for so many years, but are all young people nowadays so powerful?" A faint shadow emerged from the black clothed man''s corpse. Mo Wuji lamented in his heart: This Jing Gumu really isn''t dead. However, this fella''s soul is incredibly weak; clearly, he must have been heavily damaged by that black clothed man. "Sect Head Jing, consider it as I have saved you. If I didn''t kill that black clothed man, your possession would definitely have failed, and then you would have been killed by that black clothed man," Mo Wuji said calmly. The shadow briefly went into silence, before saying, "Previously, it was also due to your trick that I wasn''t able to possess that fella. This sort of life saving isn''t counted. Now that you have achieved your motive, please leave. This old man wishes to go back to my own quiet cultivation." "Of course I can leave, but I have a few conditions. One, that black clothed man was killed by me, so I will need his storage ring. As for Sect Head Jing''s stuff, I would not touch them even though I could kill you and take them. Two, I have a few questions I want to ask Sect Head Jing." Mo Wuji said calmly and clearly. Jing Gumu¡¯s voice turned serious, "You''re threatening me." Mo Wuji''s voice did not have any hint of fear, "You could say so." From the very start, Jing Gumu intended to possess one of the cultivators here. If he didn''t grasp the right opportunity, his fleshly body would have become Jing Gumu''s. Towards such people, Mo Wuji would not show any courtesy. "Ask." Jing Gumu''s tone went icy cold. "One, where did the Six Cleanse Immortal Estate go? Why is the immortal estate''s jade seal here? Two, what kind of place is the Zhen Mo Continent? Three, what is with this map that we obtained?" At one go, Mo Wuji asked three to four questions at one go. Jing Gumu''s voice had a tinge of unwillingness as he said, "The immortal estate was indeed brought here by me. I tried all means possible, but I wasn''t able to open the immortal estate. You know how difficult it was, and how much blood and sweat I poured to drag that immortal estate, which would not recognise me as it''s owner, across the Sky Sea, from the Zhen Mo Continent to here? My jade seal contained a trace of my soul will, so if anyone came looking for the immortal estate, he would take my jade seal, and I could borrow this chance to possess him." As he said this, Jing Gumu started to sigh endlessly, "I never expected that the immortal estate would be so biased; the immortal estate which I poured so much effort to open in, actually opened on its own for a fella that I invited here. Thereafter, it was taken away. That fella I lured here didn''t even come to my room¡­" The room he was in wasn''t even found, all his preparations for possession naturally went unused. "Was it one person, or two?" Mo Wuji interrupted Jing Gumu''s words. Jing Gumu''s tone had become calm by now, "I didn''t even go out. I only know that the immortal estate recognised a master and left this place. As for the number of people, how would I know? Regarding the Zhen Mo Continent is another cultivator continent across the ocean from the Lost Continent. Sailing through the Sky Sea can get you to the Zhen Mo Continent. At the same time, traversing the Five Elements Desolate Domain can also get you to the Zhen Mo Continent. For the last question, I was the one who released the map." Mo Wuji did not doubt Jing Gumu''s words. The Earth was also a spherical planet. The Five Elements Desolate Domain and the Sky Sea were in different directions, it would be perfectly logical to reach the Zhen Mo Continent by going in these two directions. The only thing Mo Wuji was worried about was Aunt Eleven and Mo Xiangtong, he didn''t know whether they were the ones who earned the recognition of the immortal estate. I can give you the black clothed man''s and my ring to you. You can also take away the spirit vein I was sitting on. I believe, the countless treasures in my ring will not disappoint you," Jing Gumu suddenly said. Mo Wuji stared doubtfully at Jing Gumu, "You''re so generous?" With the things Jing Gumu had done, he was clearly a devious person. He definitely wasn''t a generous fella who would give these things away. "Of course it comes with a condition. That is, when you leave, seal me up here completely. Don''t let others find me. Before my soul completely dissipates, I just wish for a few days of quiet. Ever since I started on this path of cultivation, I have put in all my efforts into obtaining resources and into constant cultivation. I''m truly tired," Jing Gumu sighed and said. Sang Yiping and Zhuang Yan were clearly affected by Jing Gumu''s words. They subconsciously lowered their heads; many years later, will they also say: I''m truly tired? Mo Wuji did not say a word, his spiritual will descended on that spirit vein. After a while, he suddenly said, "Okay, I agree. But I don''t want your ring, nor your spirit vein. Additionally, you can choose one of us here to possess. Oh ya, when there''s news on the Six Cleanse Immortal Estate, I will also send it over to you." The people on scene went blank, as they turned and look at Mo Wuji with a look of astonishment. Why would Mo Wuji say such words? Not only did Mo Wuji reject the items, he even offered someone for Jing Gumu to possess? He even wanted to send news on the immortal estate over, why? Jing Gumu stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief, and said with his mouth wide agape, "You must be kidding me?" Mo Wuji said coldly, "You were the one who started kidding first." If he was so gullible, his grave would already grow weeds a few meters tall. "You¡¯re courting death!" Jing Gumu suddenly shot out a few beams of faint light, slanted black sword shadows descended from the sky, terrifying sword radiance transformed into sword rain which trapped Mo Wuji and co. These black sword radiance was his killing ace. This was a sword rain garrotte array. This array was not enough to deal with the black clothed man, but it was more than enough to deal with these Mortal Realm cultivators. So what if Mo Wuji briefly understood arrays? To break through this sword rain garrotte array, not only must one understand arrays, one would also need to be able to block against the sword rain. If they couldn''t block against the sword rain, then they could only wait for death. But he wouldn''t kill this Mo Wuji, this young man''s body was suitable for possession. "Everyone, don''t move. Concentrate all your elemental energy on me," Mo Wuji said unhesitatingly. Ah? Concentrate all their elemental energy onto Mo Wuji? Even if they were cultivating the same technique, Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to use their elemental energy ah. At this moment, Mo Wuji had already started to form countless, complex hand seals which he hurled towards the black sword rain. Pu Qian and co. no longer took the time to think, and went along with Mo Wuji''s words. "Honghonghong!" The sword rain formed an umbrella shape above Mo Wuji''s head and fell to the ground. As the sword shadows descended, countless rubble would fill the sky. One could clearly see how powerful these sword shadows were. If it was anyone else, if they weren''t able to escape this garrotte array, they could only wait for death. Pu Qian and co. secretly celebrated; their head senior brother had saved them again. If not for Mo Wuji, they would have already died many times over. "Revolving Star Passage Technique? This is a sacred art¡­" Jing Gumu cried out in astonishment. In his whole life, he had collected all kinds of treasures but he had never obtained something as valuable as the Revolving Star Passage Technique. This was a sacred art, and an amazing one at that. Chapter 226: Rank 1 Chapter 226: Rank 1 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji did not bother about Jing Gumu as he said, "Everyone follow my elemental energy circulation path to transfer elemental energy while waiting for me." He knew from a long time ago that the Revolving Star Passage Technique was a sacred art even without Jing Gumu¡¯s reminder. Without Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Pu Qian and Co. had already started directing their elemental energy with reference to Mo Wuji¡¯s circulation technique to further complement the energy for the Revolving Star Passage Technique. This relieved the pressure on Mo Wuji tremendously. "Crackle!" Mo Wuji managed to use both hands to ignite the Boundless Lightning Rain towards Jing Gumu. At this moment, the room was divided into two halves. One half was filled with black sword shadows while the other half was filled with blue lightning. "Stop¡­" The residual soul of Jing Gumu panicked because if this were to continue, he would be burnt to ashes with no hope of reincarnation. Mo Wuji naturally would not stop there as his lightning rain fell even more aggressively. During a battle, Mo Wuji would never talk unnecessarily. All talks or discussions would only happen after getting rid of the opponent. "Whiz!" As the shadow of Jing Gumu¡¯s residual soul started to appear faint, a golden radiance exploded out of the spiritual vein from underneath the bed. The sword rain garrote array that trapped all five of them disappeared as Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned ugly. This might have happened due to two reasons: one would be because of the aftereffect of fighting an expert, while the other was because Jing Gumu managed to escape. "Head senior brother, have we killed the residual soul?" Zhuang Yan noticed the room had quietened down before asking. Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, that fella must have had a supreme top grade escape magic treasure because he managed to escape at the very moment before I was about to get rid of him. I predict that he would only be left with a breath of life and he would have to seek permission from the heaven if he still want to come back for cultivation." "Fortunately, he did not have enough time to take these away," Mo Wuji walked over and picked up the two storage rings. The items Tian Ji Sect were collecting were getting better each time as they grew closer to rebuilding the sect. "Phew, we were so lucky to have survived under attacks from a True God expert and then killing a True God expert too. Nobody would believe us if these rumours were to spread," Sang Yiping added. The moment she finished her sentence, she seemed to have thought of something as she exclaimed, "Head senior brother, was the black clothed man that was chasing Granny Linglong an alien cultivator? If he was an alien cultivator, we could actually earn a huge lump of contribution points¡­" Mo Wuji hurried to take out his points accumulation jade token and was astonished at the number he saw. Rogue Cultivator 2705 , Contribution Points: 112,076, Ranking: 1st. There was also a marked contribution points at the back to show that Mo Wuji had already used over 10,000 contribution points but it contributed to the ranking of the cultivators. "Rank number 1...My god¡­" Sang Yiping screamed as she saw the contribution points of Mo Wuji. "Head senior brother, you are really the Rogue Cultivator 2705!" Pu Qian had this sudden realisation but was feeling extremely pleased. Even though he had never been to the Yan City and was not sure who the popular Da Shixiong was, he had heard of the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705 as he was like a god-like character in the heart of many cultivators. Head senior brother was indeed a god-like character evident from how he brought his few men and managed to survive from the clutches of experts after experts. How can a normal person do this? Zhuang Yan was as shocked and pleased that the legendary Rogue Cultivator 2705 was standing right beside her and even became their head senior brother. No, the rumours of 2705 would be even scarier in the future. How capable must one be to be ranked first in the Hundred Sect Contribution Points Board with over 100,000 points? Mo Wuji murmured to himself, "My luck must be extraordinarily good to be able to kill a True God Stage Level 1 expert and get over 100,000 points. Just think about all the good items we could get with over 100,000 points." At the contribution points exchange centre, there was a big board hanging outside to display how many points you would be awarded for each alien cultivator you killed. However, the highest level shown was only for Nihility God Stage Level 9. There were no points allocation displayed for how many points one would get for killing a True God expert but Mo Wuji was clear now that he would earn 100,000 points for killing one. Mo Wuji kept the jade token and said, "We will exchange these points when we finally return to the Yan City. Meanwhile, everyone please look around in the jade vases to see if there were anymore pills." This house was not big to begin with and after experiencing Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning rain and the sword rain garrotte array, a lot of vases that were placed nicely initially were all smashed and the number of broken vases on the floor increased. With Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions, everyone started to collect those vases that fell all over the place. "I have one vase of Earth Yuan Pill¡­" "A True Position Pill¡­" "I found a Jaded Spiritual Pill, this is a Tier 6 spiritual pill ah." "Ah¡­ a vase of Gold Forming Pill!" Everyone was captivated by Pu Qian¡¯s sentence because even though the Gold Forming Pill was only a Tier 4 pill which was worth less than a Jaded Spiritual Pill, it was the most valuable one to everyone present. Gold Forming Pill was the pill to consume for one to advance from Transcending Mortality Stage of the Mortal Realm to Yuan Dan Stage of the Earth Realm. Even though it was only a Tier 4 pill, its spiritual herbs were charged at an exorbitantly high price because they were not something human could grow or nurture. Not only were the spiritual herbs charged at such a high price, the Gold Forming Pill was extremely difficult to concoct too as it was known as one of the most difficult to concoct Tier 4 pills. Many of the refiners who managed to concoct the Gold Forming Pills were Tier 5 Pill Refiners because it was extremely tough for normal Tier 4 Pill Refiners to try and concoct this pill. Mo Wuji hurried over and took over the vase in Pu Qian¡¯s hand as he looked convincingly at it, "Pu Qian is right and this is the indeed the Gold Forming Pill. Everyone report your cultivation level now. "I am in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7!" Pu Qian was the first to report. "I am in Transcending Mortality Stage 4," Nie Zhengnong followed next. Sang Yiping also said, "I am only in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 1." "I am in Spirit Building Stage Level 7," Zhuang Yan added. Mo Wuji nodded his head as he said, "I am in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12¡­" The four of them stared at Mo Wuji with their half opened mouth, Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12? There is a Level 12 in the Transcending Mortality Stage? "Head senior brother, are you saying you are in the Extreme Mortal Stage?" Sang Yiping asked shockingly only after a while. "Right, I am indeed in the Extreme Mortal Stage," Mo Wuji confirmed that he was in the Extreme Mortal Stage as he had traces of spirituality belonging to the Extreme Mortal Stage in his body which others could not see. Pu Qian and co. took a deep breath, Extreme Mortal Stage? No wonder why Mo Wuji was so strong. They had heard of cultivators in the Five Big Empires who reached Level 10 of a single stage but they had never heard of cultivators who had reached the Extreme Realm. They could not believe that their head senior brother who was about to become Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head was actually an expert in the Extreme Mortal Stage. Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan felt a little guilty as they initially thought Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was the lowest of them all. They only realised now that there would not be a person in the entire Lost Continent with qualifications surpassing their head senior brother. Sang Yiping questioned surprisingly yet again, "Head senior brother, doesn¡¯t the Extreme Realm only contain 10 levels? Why is there a Level 12?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "I have had no mentor and managed to scrape through all these by myself with occasional conversations with friends about this. As to why I managed to reach Level 12, I have no idea too." Everyone seemed as clueless as Mo Wuji about why he was able to reach Level 12. "Head senior brother, you have such huge potential. I am sure that Tian Ji Sect¡¯s future would be extremely promising under you," Nie Zhengnong said excitedly as this was something he never imagine would happen. The greatest thing about being in Extreme Mortal Stage was not the strength itself but the huge potential that it promised. Sang Yiping stood up and said, "This news about head senior brother being in the Extreme Mortal Stage must not be spread out. Otherwise, it would be very hard for Tian Ji Sect to grow." Everyone nodded their head in agreement. Mo Wuji also added, "Sang Yiping has a point. Whether or not a sect would be capable of standing up depends on both its legacy and its actual strength. I asked everyone to report your cultivation level so I can use this opportunity to remind everyone of your own cultivation level. True Position Pill is the best pill for Transcending Mortality cultivation and we also have a pill help to advance into Yuan Dan Stage in the Gold Forming Pill. I shall gather the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein and I believe that everyone would be able to advance into the next realm very soon." "Great," Pu Qian was the first to agree because even though his cultivation level was second to Mo Wuji, he had worked hard step by step to reach there. It could be said that he had never experienced such a good condition to cultivate in. It was indeed his most correct decision made to join Tian Ji Sect. Seeing how Zhuang Yan was feeling slightly dejected, Mo Wuji handed a vase to Zhuang Yan before saying, "These are a few Transcending Mortality Pills which you could use to advance into the Transcending Mortality Stage then into the Yuan Dan Stage." "Yes, many thanks head senior brother," Zhuang Yan was extremely pleased when she saw Mo Wuji taking out the vase to solve her problem. The four of them divided the pills very quickly, tidied up the house and the bed before choosing a spot each. Mo Wuji fixed up an energy gathering array to gather both the spiritual energy from the spiritual vein and outdoors. In a only a short period of time, there was a surge of extremely dense spiritual energy in the middle of the house. Mo Wuji also sat down to start absorbing the spiritual energy to start his spiritual circulation technique. If he could use this opportunity to break into the Yuan Dan Stage, that would be the most ideal scenario. Power was everything as Mo Wuji experienced it much closer to heart from this trip out at sea. Concentrated spiritual energy was swept away by the five of them as Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of absorbing energy was extremely scary. The five of them managed to absorb all of the spiritual energy in the room and the room became quiet once again. ¡­ Yan City. There were already many cultivators gathering in front of the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board. Everyone was staring at the 1st in rank as this was the first time there was a new name in the 1st position. Moreover, the one that came in first was someone everyone was familiar with, yet never expected to reach the first. Rogue Cultivator 2705, Contribution Points: 112,076, Ranking: 1st. Xi Yixuan of the Great Evolution Sect who was previously ranked 1st was now second with only 57,208 points which was about half of Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s points. As for the third place¡¯s Feng Luojian, he had only about 50,000 points. A Rogue Cultivator giving pressure to both the Heaven Seeking Palace and the Great Evolution Sect was already a huge disgrace for the two sects. What¡¯s worse was that his points alone was more than than points of rank number 2 and 3 combined. Chapter 227: The Ship In The Ring Chapter 227: The Ship In The Ring Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I remember that number 2705 had 12076 points, but now his points rose by hundred thousand in one shot. Could he have killed over ten Nihility God Stage experts in a row? That¡¯s not possible." "Why must it be Nihility God Stage experts? Can¡¯t it be True Lake Stage experts? Who knows, maybe he killed tens of True Lake Stage experts, or maybe he killed one True God Stage expert." "Haha, why don¡¯t you kill a True God Stage expert for me. Do you know why there¡¯s no points for True God Stage experts? Because True God Stage experts are unkillable." "I think he really did kill a True God Stage expert." A sudden voice interrupted the crowd¡¯s discussions in front of the Contribution Points Board. This was because the voice was too serious, and it immediately attracted the crowd¡¯s attention. "It¡¯s Senior Xi of Great Evolution Sect." Someone recognised the person speaking. "Greetings Senior Xi." Most of the cultivators in the crowd came over to pay their respects. Xi Yixuan was a legendary character, with a reputation that was much better than Rogue Cultivator 2705. This was because Rogue Cultivator 2705 rose to the top 10 with the status of a rogue cultivator, and his great reputation became a sort of encouragement for the weak; that perhaps with a little more effort, they could get on the Contribution Points Board like Rogue Cultivator 2705. But for Xi Yixuan, he had always been the number one expert on the board. In the eyes of countless cultivators, this was a display of true ability. Every time there was a large battle with the alien cultivators, Xi Yixuan¡¯s figure would outshine other cultivators of similar cultivation level on the battlefield. Xi Yixuan nodded his head, "While the contribution points exchange office never state how many points killing a True God Stage expert would be worth, I can confirm with everyone that killing a True God Stage Level 1 expert would cause one¡¯s contribution points to increase by exactly 100,000 points." Many of the people took in breaths of cold air on the plaza. Could he have really killed a True God Stage expert? Even if a True God Stage expert stood there without retaliating, a Mortal Realm cultivator shouldn¡¯t have been able to kill him right? "Isn¡¯t Rogue Cultivator 2705 in Transcending Mortality Stage? How could he kill a True God Stage expert? Could the True God Stage expert have been sleeping?" "Idiot, why don¡¯t you kill a sleeping True God Stage expert for us to see." "Regardless what shocking thing Da Shixiong managed to do, I believe that it¡¯s all natural. I¡¯ve always been supporting Da Shixiong. Who can confirm that Da Shixiong¡¯s cultivation level won¡¯t increase? Perhaps he is already in Yuan Dan Stage." "Even a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator can¡¯t kill a severely injured True God Stage expert." "But Da Shixiong¡¯s points did increase, so how would you explain that?" ¡­ A commotion arose in front of the Contribution Points Board as all sorts of theories and ideas were shouted out and defended. "Everyone!" Xi Yixuan¡¯s voice calmed the crowd down once again, "My friends, if anyone sees this Da Shixiong, please help me to pass him a message. Say that the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Xi Yixuan invites him to the Great Evolution Sect as a guest." "Haha, Junior Xi is indeed very hospitable." A cheery voice echoed out "Seems like Senior Feng is quite free today." Xi Yixuan bowed respectfully as he saw the cultivator approaching him. "It¡¯s Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Senior Feng Luojian." "Greetings Senior Feng." The atmosphere in front of the Contribution Points Board heated up, and everyone was discussing about Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Contribution Points Board Number 1: Rogue Cultivator 2705. Xi Yixuan of Great Evolution Sect and Feng Luojian of Heaven Seeking Palace ,who had always been fighting for first place, had arrived, making it a big party. Feng Luojian¡¯s voice was much more charismatic, and he bowed respectfully at the crowd, "My friends, if anyone sees Rogue Cultivator 2705, please inform him that Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Feng Luojian will warmly welcome him." ¡­ On the 10th floor of Yan City Immortal Jade House, two cultivators sat by the window, gazing down the plaza. "This guy must not stay alive any longer. We must kill him before anyone else finds him, otherwise our Lei Clan will cease to exist." A short man with a hostile look on his face said in a low voice. Sitting opposite him was a middle aged woman, and she nodded, "That¡¯s right, if this guy gets recruited as a legacy disciple of the Great Evolution Sect or Heaven Seeking Palace, he¡¯ll definitely not let our Yu Lin Lei Clan off." The short man stood up, "Let¡¯s search in different directions. Since he obtained contribution points this means that he was at the recent few battles with the alien cultivators. This guy can change his appearance too, so we¡¯ll have to pay more attention." The woman nodded her head in agreement as she stood up too. ¡­ After a month of cultivation in the island under the sea, Mo Wuji stopped. He swallowed a few Gold Forming Pills, and his speed of absorbing spiritual energy had increased to a rather high level. However, his rate of improvement at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12 was very slow, much less breakthrough into Yuan Dan Stage. This made Mo Wuji very impatient, like a person used to luxurious things being thrown into poverty. Now using normal spiritual energy did not give any significant improvements. To breakthrough to the next stage, he could only accumulate bit by bit over time as he did not have any Heaven grade spirit stones. This sort of cultivation environment was very normal for Mo Wuji. But to Pu Qian and the rest, it was the first time they had experienced something like this. The Tian Ji Sect was a Xuan Grade Sect, so it was normal for them to have a poor environment for cultivation. In a month¡¯s time, Zhuang Yan broke through to Spirit Building Stage Level 9, and she would soon prepare to enter Transcending Mortality Stage. Pu Qian had broken through to Transcending Mortality Stage Level 8, and Sang Yiping also entered Transcending Mortality Level 2. Nie Zhengnong was a little more talented than Sang Yiping, so while he was originally at the peak of Transcending Mortality Stage Level 4, he was now at the Transcending Mortality Stage Level 6. The only one that did not improve was Mo Wuji. Knowing that he had no way to breakthrough the Transcending Mortality Stage, Mo Wuji took out three rings. The first was obtained from the ghost cultivator and had a strong seal, hence by his estimates, it would take at least a month to crack it. The second ring belonged to the black clothed alien, and the third was left behind by Jing Gumu. Jing Gumu¡¯s ring probably had the most treasures in it, but it was a pity that this ring was even harder to crack. As Jing Gumu had not fallen yet, his seal was naturally the hardest to crack. Mo Wuji decided that he would crack the black clothed alien¡¯s ring first because the black clothed man had died, hence no matter how strong the seal on the ring was, it would not be able to withstand the continuous pressure from his spiritual will for days. After half a month, a slight crack came from the ring, and all seals on it collapsed. A space even greater than the storage ring that Mo Wuji was using appeared before him, and piles after piles of Earth grade spirit stones were there. Spiritual herbs, smithing materials were in mounds as high as mountains too. On top of that, there were tens of spiritual items and multiple technique manuals. Every spiritual item in there was of a higher tier than the one she obtained previously. Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding of spiritual items was quite shallow, but he could still recognise that there were at least three high tier spiritual items. A Half moon knife, a bronze lantern, and a radiant green sword. The item that made Mo Wuji the most excited as a flying ship magic treasure. This magic treasure was probably not a high tier magic treasure, but it was definitely one of the best mid tier flying ship. Out of all the storage rings he had obtained so far, this was the first time that Mo Wuji managed to find a flying ship magic treasure. The past two storage rings from Thunder Fog Forest didn¡¯t have flying magic treasures either. Who knew if flying magic treasures were hidden away by people, or did not exist anymore. However, what disappointed Mo Wuji was that while there were so many Earth grade spirit stones, not a single Heaven grade spirit stone was present. It was important to note that he no longer coveted for Earth grade spirit stones, but instead he wanted real Heaven grade spirit stones. While the black clothed man¡¯s storage ring have more space that the one Mo Wuji was using, Mo Wuji did not have the intention to swap his out. After all, even a larger space had its limits, and it was troublesome to swap rings. He then took out the ring he obtained from the ship, and continued cracking its seal. Every person¡¯s cultivation technique was different, which made every ring¡¯s seal different too. It was not known when the owner of the storage ring from the ship had died, and the seal on it was significantly stronger than the one on the black clothed man. Another month passed by, and the ring¡¯s seal began to loosen, but at this moment Mo Whji felt a strong wave of energy. His gaze immediately fell on Zhuang Yan, as she was the source of the energy. It was apparent that she was about to breakthrough to Transcending Mortality Stage. Indeed, four hours later, Zhuang Yan¡¯s aura increased wildly, and her spirituality burst forth. She had entered the Transcending Mortality Stage without much difficulty. Mo Wuji nodded his head at this sight of this. Zhuang Yan¡¯s spiritual root quality wasn¡¯t very good, and a big part of the reason that she could enter the Transcending Mortality Stage from Spirit Building Stage Level 7 in such a short period of time probably was her cultivating in such an environment for the first time. If she did not find a better way to cultivate in the future, her cultivation speed would slow down to what she experienced before. While all this went on, Mo Wuji did not go to disturb their cultivation, and continued to work on the storage ring with his spiritual will. Another half a month passed again, and a familiar ¡®crack¡¯ came from the ring in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands as the seals fell apart. A gigantic space appeared before Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. What shocked Mo Wuji the most was that there was only one item in the storage ring. Spirit stones, spiritual herbs, and other treasures were absent. The item inside as a gigantic incomplete ship, which was hundreds of meters long and towered over everything else. Who knew how long it had been inside, as the dragon bones on it still gave off a bright glow. Mo Wuji¡¯ spiritual will landed on the ship. The more he looked at it, the more he was shocked, and the more he was confused. There were not only many array bases for drawing arrays, but also all kinds of cannons. Chapter 228: We’re Warring, Stop The Nonsense! Chapter 228: We¡¯re Warring, Stop The Nonsense! Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This was definitely a hybrid of cultivation and technology. Mo Wuji''s gaze started to wander, discovering that there were tens of naval cannons installed on the ship, it was just that they weren¡¯t installed on the cannon forts. Besides the naval cannons, there were also all kinds of blueprints and books on the ship. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan through them, and soon found that these blueprints were clear design outline maps of the ship. Incomplete Immortal Battleship, Length: 640 meters, Breadth: 230 meters. Designed to have 10 laser cannons, 10 space sundering cannons, 3 penta-elemental cannons, 5 extermination cannons... The ship bow and flanks were both created from Celestial Sunflower Gold, allowing it to sail through the void. The laser cannons¡¯ required materials: Earth grade spirit stones, Radium Crystals, Earth Heart Flame, Brilliant Rainbow Crystals... Mo Wuji started to get more excited the more he read, the blueprints showed the methods to construct ten different kinds of cannons. How was this a ship? This was a moving battle fortress. The moment this thing goes all out, even a True God Stage expert has to run. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on the ship bow and flanks; they were indeed made of the familiar Celestial Sunflower Gold, but the Celestial Sunflower Gold here had already been processed. The amount of Celestial Sunflower Gold used to make both the ship bow and flanks combined was already more than a hundred times what he obtained previously. To use so much Celestial Sunflower Gold to create this horrifying battleship, how rich must this ring''s previous owner be? Unfortunately, this ship wasn''t fully completed. If it was, it would definitely be a killing machine. He had no knowledge on smithing, so he did not have any means of finishing this Incomplete Immortal Battleship. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will continued to search the huge space within the storage ring. The ring was largely empty, except for a small pile of items in the corner which looked like rubbish. But when Mo Wuji''s spiritual will reached it, he immediately coughed out a breath of cold air. How was this rubbish? These were cannon ammunition. Moreover, these ammunition were clearly classified; laser cannon, space sundering cannon, heavenly fire cannon, heavy water cannon... Mo Wuji retracted his spiritual will; this ship was definitely of great use to him. He did not know smithing, but he could find a smith. By now, Mo Wuji had changed the ring that he''s using. The items in his previous ring had all been moved to this bigger ring. Seeing that the others were still obsessed in their cultivation, Mo Wuji stood up and left the room. In the larger hall outside, Mo Wuji started to refine the black clothed man''s intermediate grade flying ship. Cen Shuyin''s flying car was a low grade flying equipment, but its defensive capabilities was close to naught, its speed was very slow, and the space was cramped. But this flying ship, it had loads of space, and it even had some defensive capabilities. When they return, he would use this flying ship. Days continued to pass. When Mo Wuji had just completely refined this flying ship, the surrounding air started to tremble, this time, a lot more intense than the previous ones. Mo Wuji kept the flying ship; he guessed that Pu Qian was about to transcend the realms of mortality and enter the Earth Realm Yuan Dan Stage. Indeed, half a day later, the space ripples disappeared and Pu Qian walked out from the small room. His body emanated thick, dense spirituality, and he had a huge boost in his self confidence. Clearly, he had entered the Yuan Dan Stage. "Pu Qian, congratulations on advancing into the Yuan Dan Stage." Mo Wuji was also happy for Pu Qian. Moreover, Pu Qian was a man of the Tian Ji Sect, the higher his cultivation, the better it would be for the Tian Ji Sect. "Head senior brother, I¡¯ve never had such a carefree and enjoyable cultivation session. There was plenty of spiritual energy, enough of pills to use, cultivating was simply too great." Pu Qian''s face was full of elation and contentment. According to his previous plans, he intended to charge into the Yuan Dan Stage within ten years, but in just a few months, he had already entered the Yuan Dan Stage. This wasn''t simply charging, it was flying. Mo Wuji laughed, "When we leave, we will take this spiritual vein and place it in the original lands of Tian Ji Sect. By that time, everyone could continue to use it to cultivate." Mo Wuji had long thought these things through; to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect, there must be a place rich in spiritual energy for cultivation. Without real power, there would be no meaning in rebuilding the Tian Ji Sect. He wanted to truly rebuild the Tian Ji Sect, not just in name. "Head senior brother, I''m afraid that''s not possible. When we go back and rebuild the Tian Ji Sect, we would need to do it secretly and we cannot return to the original Tian Ji Sect. We would have to wait till our power gets stronger, then we can return." Nie Zhengnong also walked out, he was already in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 8; his improvements have even exceeded Pu Qian. Mo Wuji did not say a word; he did not share the same sentiments in his heart. Since he wanted to rebuild the sect, he would do it with a splash. Sneakily building a sect would betray his ideals. But rebuilding the Tian Ji Sect with a high profile had its own problems. Perhaps before the sect was established, the Yu Lin Lei Clan might come and destroy the Tian Ji Sect once more. "Do any of you know who are the impressive smiths in the Five Great Empires?" After a brief moment of silent contemplation, Mo Wuji''s eyes sparkled and he suddenly lifted his head and asked. His Tian Ji Sect might not be able to exterminate the Yu Lin Lei Clan, but his Incomplete Immortal Battleship could. The Yu Lin Lei Clan was merely an above average Earth sect. If he were to overestimate them, then they would only be a Quasi-Heaven sect. If he could first install an intermediate trap array, to confine the Yu Lin Lei Clan, he would then use the Immortal Battleship barrage the Yu Lin Lei Clan with salvos of devastating cannons. To install an intermediate trap array, he would need to continue researching on his notes on Chu Xingzi''s Array Dao. At the same time, he would need to learn to forge array flags. Forging array flags and forging equipments were different. One did not need to be a smith to forge array flags. But an average array master might not be able to forge array flags too. "I''m not very familiar with this, perhaps junior apprentice sister Sang might know more about this," Nie Zhengnong answered. He would normally confine himself in closed doors cultivation. The one who explored the outside world and dealt with external affairs was Sang Yiping. Pu Qian said, "The Heaven Seeking Palace Smith Summit¡¯s Summit Lord Zhang Pingshan should be very impressive. I heard that the spiritual equipment he forges are highly sought after." "The Smith Summit''s most impressive smith isn''t the Summit Lord Zhang Pingshan, but the guest elder, the Three-eyed Dhuta." Sang Yiping and Zhuang Yan also emerged from the room. Sang Yiping was already in Transcending Mortality Level 5, while Zhuang Yan had advanced to Transcending Mortality Level 2. Mo Wuji laughed, "Looks like this closed door session was really useful. Everyone''s cultivation had improved greatly, not bad. Wait till we go back to the sect, everyone can prepare themselves to charge into the Yuan Dan Stage." "Congratulations senior apprentice brother Pu Qian on advancing into the Earth Realm." Sang Yiping and co. noticed that Pu Qian had advanced, he should already be in the Earth Realm. After a brief exchange of congratulations, Mo Wuji asked, "Yiping, you say that the Smith Summit''s Three-eyed Dhuta''s smithing proficiency is the best? How did you know?" Sang Yiping hurriedly explained, "Previously, the sect head was discussing with us a few secrets regarding the huge sects, and he mentioned the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Three-eyed Dhuta. His origins were unknown; it seemed like he was being chased by someone so he hid in the Heaven Seeking Palace. Summit Lord Zhang Pingshan noticed Three-eyed Dhuta''s adroit skill in smithing and invited him to be a guest elder in the Smith Summit. In reality, most of the magic treasures in the Five Great Empires was forged by the Heaven Seeking Palace, and of these magic treasures, 90% of them were made by the Three-eyed Dhuta¡¯s hands." Mo Wuji inwardly nodded his head; this was the man. After he returns to the Heaven Seeking Palace, he definitely needed to invite this Three-eyed Dhuta to help him complete his Immortal Battleship. "We¡¯ve been cooped up here for several months. We will leave right after we extract the spiritual vein, then we will immediately rebuild the Tian Ji Sect," Mo Wuji declared. The spiritual vein was originally extracted by Jing Gumu and sent to the small room. Now, Mo Wuji did not need to expend much effort and easily sent the spiritual vein into his storage ring. Two hours later, Mo Wuji and co. charged out of Sky Lake Island on their flying ship. ¡­ Yin Tomb Beach. It was only a few thousand miles from Yan City. This was a barren land, and with the heavy Yin energy, few were willing to come here. But now, the Yin Tomb Beach was filled with gloom. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators were gather. The war had yet to start but the breath of death had started to permeate through the air. Ever since the alien cultivators infiltrated the Lost Continent, the Five Great Empires responded with the coalition of countless sects, forming the Hundred Sect Alliance. Initially, the Hundred Sect Alliance was able to oppress the alien cultivators, and even destroyed some of the alien cultivators¡¯ encampments. But as the war progressed, more alien cultivators gathered here, and their battle power slowly surpassed the Hundred Sect Alliance. In the recent few months, the Five Great Empires¡¯ Hundred Sect Alliance had been facing continuous defeat, some of the more important places were slowly swallowed up by the alien cultivators. Because of the Hundred Sect Alliance''s continuous retreat, the battlefront had been pushed to the Yin Tomb Beach outside the Yan City. It was merely one to two miles from Yan City. Many people were clear, the moment the Yin Tomb Beach was lost, the Hundred Sect Alliance would also lose Yan City. Yan City might be the Tian Shang Empire''s capital, it now served as the Hundred Sect Alliance''s encampment. If Yan City was occupied by the alien cultivators, then the Five Great Empires¡¯ forces would collapse, and the Hundred Sect Alliance would crumble. Thereafter, it would only be a matter of time before the alien cultivators controlled the entire five empires. So this battle, for the Hundred Sect Alliance, they were fighting with their backs against the river; it was do or die. In the air above the battlefield, there were eight experts standing on the side of the Hundred Sect Alliance. These were the True God Stage experts of the Hundred Sect Alliance. One could say, that almost all the experts in the Five Great Empires had been gathered here. On the opposite side of the battlefield, there were more than ten experts standing in mid air. The alien cultivators clearly had more True God Stage experts than the Five Great Empires. "Feng Zhenqiu, the difference between my Floating Star¡¯s forces and yours are already as different as the Heaven and Earth. If your Hundred Sect Alliance continues to resist, don''t blame me for the massacre. If you surrender, I might consider leaving behind a lifeline." A grey haired man, from the alien cultivators side, took a few steps in the air. He spoke with a slightly threatening tone. Feng Zhenqiu did not say anything, but a clear, resolute female voice could be heard from the distance, "In the Lost Continent, there''s a sect called the Tian Ji Sect. Tian Ji Sect has a teaching which is also the motto of all the cultivators in the Lost Continent. Here, cultivators would stand till their deaths; there are no rats who would kneel while alive. We¡¯re warring, so stop the nonsense!" "Support the Dean!" We¡¯re warring! Stop the nonsense!" The Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s cultivators all called out hoarsely. The fighting spirit instantly skyrocketed and the killing intent was simply bursting. Chapter 229: Complete Annihilation Chapter 229: Complete Annihilation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The person is the Heaven Seeking Palace''s First Dean Bei Suting?" Garber''s face changed slightly as he felt some regret for the excessive nonsense he spoke. With a single sentence, the opposing force¡¯s morale was instantly uplifted. He needed to say some additional words to plunge the opposing force''s morale. Once the opposing force''s morale went down, they would have to immediately start the battle. Otherwise, the Floating Star would have much higher casualty rates. A lady with a scarf around her face stood in midair at the forefront of the two armies. No one could see her appearance, but from her slim and elegant appearance, one could see that she was definitely a femme fatale. She completely ignored Garber''s words, and turned to look at the war raged Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators, speaking with a clear voice, "These alien scum invaded our homeland. How will our Lost Continent cultivators respond?" "Kill!" Countless voices resounded. "These alien scum killed our brothers and sisters, and now they want us to kneel. How will our Lost Continent cultivators respond?" "Kill!" The voices resonated with greater fervour and courage. Even the calmest of cultivators, when enshrouded in this atmosphere of killing intent, his blood would boil and he could not wait to simply charge over and kill those alien scum to his heart''s content. "Then what are we waiting for? Follow me and kill them all!" "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The pent up, boundless killing intent finally burst forth, completely sweeping up in the moment. The Hundred Sect Alliance were like tigers, charging ferociously towards the alien cultivators. Garber now knew that he wouldn''t be able to turn the morale around. At this moment, besides facing the battle, there was nothing else he could do, "The cultivators of the Floating Star, don''t tell me you want to return to that god-forsaken, resource-depleted place? Don''t tell me you all wish to slowly die in that spiritual energy poor planet? My brave soldiers of the Floating Star, whether we can stay in this fertile land, and whether we can continue to seek higher realms of cultivation, all depends on this war. Everyone, kill!" "Boom!" The two sides clashed. Killing intent filled the air; blood clouds formed; debris flew. All kinds of elemental energy clashed, forming explosions which upended the entire Yin Tomb Beach in a single moment. The Yin-filled Yin Tomb Beach, which used to force people to go silent, was now filled with the shrill sounds of death and battle. Screams of pain and roars of rage resounded through the air; corpses of cultivators unceasingly collapsed onto the ground. No one retreated as everyone trampled across the corpses of their brethren to charge forward. There was only one thing running through everyone''s minds: Kill! This battle was different from the previous ones; there was no rest unless you''re dead and no side was willing to retreat. The battle raged from dusk to the late afternoon. The smell of blood had long pervaded and drowned the entire Yin Tomb Beach, but it was unable to drown out the gruelling sounds of war. The Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s initial momentum had gradually died down. This was the first interplanetary war that the Floating Star cultivators¡¯ took part in, but their vastly superior numbers allowed them to slowly oppress the Hundred Sect Alliance. "Hahahaha¡­" A wave of crazy laughter spread throughout the entire Yin Tomb Beach battlefield. A red robed, bald man was laughing maniacally in mid air, shouting, "Another True God expert has been killed by me, my Floating Star will now be the masters of this land¡­" "The Heaven Seeking Palace Elder Mu An has been killed¡­" The Hundred Sect Alliance, which had already lost the upper hand, was now placed in a more precarious position. But as everyone saw the green robed lady fighting three True God experts by herself, no one retreated. That was the Heaven Seeking Palace first dean; the drive of the Hundred Sect Alliance. ... A flying ship was sailing out of the Sky Sea, entering into the domain of the Five Great Empires. On the flying ship, there were five people. They were exactly Mo Wuji and his group who just returned from the Sky Sea. A few days later, the flying ship was approaching the territories of the Tian Shang Empire. "Head senior brother, why do I feel that something''s not right? Over there, the fogs of blood are large enough to form clouds." Pu Qian''s cultivation was the highest, so he was the first to notice the blood fogs from the war at Yin Tomb Beach. Mo Wuji stopped; he also noticed the towering fogs of blood. Even though it was quite a distance away, the appearance of blood fog was truly terrifying. "That must be the battlefield between the Hundred Sect Alliance and the alien cultivators. From the looks of it, this war is extremely intense." Mo Wuji had also seen similar blood fogs back in the Thunder Fog Forest battlefield, and it had left a deep impression in his mind. "What do we do?" Sang Yiping asked urgently. How could she not be worried? With their current power, the moment they got wrapped up in this huge war, they would simply be pigs being sent for slaughter. The probability that they would get killed was 70 to 80%. If the Tian Ji Sect was still well established, then death was just death. But the Tian Ji Sect''s vengeance had yet to be avenged, she was extremely unwilling to die. Mo Wuji parked the flying ship atop a mountain, "Everyone, make way." After the group was quite a distance away, Mo Wuji retrieved the incomplete ship from his storage ring. "This is a battleship?" Sang Yiping''s cultivation might not be the strongest, but she was the most experienced. With one glance, she could tell that this was a colossal space battleship. Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right, this is indeed a battleship. Unfortunately, this battleship isn''t complete; originally, I wanted to invite the Three-eyed Dhuta to help complete the job, and then use it to destroy the Yu Lin Lei Clan. But now, we can first install the components on this battleship. Even though it can''t fly, it beats staring blankly if those alien cultivators suddenly arrive." The various runes had yet to be inscribed on the battleship, so this battleship could not take off. A flying ship which could not fly would be as good as trash. Fortunately, there were cannons on the battleship, and there were all kinds of ammunition. If they properly installed the cannons, then they should not face any problems defending themselves. "How impressive!" Pu Qian had already jumped up on the ship and started viewing the eclectic cannons on the ship. "Let¡¯s install these cannons first, the important ones are the laser cannons, golden beam cannons and the heavenly fire cannons," Mo Wuji said as he pointed to three different cannon forts. Another lucky thing was that the ship''s cannons were already built and installing them wasn''t a very complicated thing. Moreover, Mo Wuji was knowledgeable about arrays. In four hours, the five already installed 16 huge cannons. "Head senior member, are we just going to wait here?" Sang Yiping asked after seeing Mo Wuji place some ammunition rounds behind the cannon forts. Mo Wuji nodded, "We¡¯ll wait here. We''ll leave when the war is over." Mo Wuji was very clear about the situation of the war. Whether the Hundred Sect Alliance won or lost, it would not be a good thing for them to leave now. If the Hundred Sect Alliance won, the defeated alien cultivators would retreat and escape in all directions. If they encounter a True Lake expert, then it would be equivalent to death. If the Hundred Sect Alliance lost, then the alien cultivators would also run around in all directions, rampaging as they go. It would be expected that they met a few strong experts. Perhaps finding a place to hide seems like a better solution. But Mo Wuji could feel that this war was far from ordinary. It was very likely the final war before the alien cultivators controlled the entire five empires. If he hides, he might not know the outcome of the war, and his future would be extremely uncertain. Standing here, they would be able to tell the outcome of the war, and they could pick a good direction to escape from. That beats running head first into a crowd of alien cultivators. Inside, Mo Wuji really wanted to charge into the battlefield and kill to his heart''s content. But he knew that doing that would be totally useless. His abilities were not enough to change the final outcome of the war. Perhaps if this ship could fly, he might be able to do that. But once that is done, he would have to hand over his battleship. ... On the Yin Tomb Beach, Heaven Seeking Palace''s Dean Bei Suting was currently facing four opponents by herself. Four True God experts were crazily encircling and attacking her. If not for her formidable defensive magic treasure, she would have perished a long time ago. At this moment, another True God expert from the Hundred Sect Alliance met his end, and the number of people surrounding Bei Suting increased by one. Even the worst cultivator could tell that even if Bei Suting''s defensive magic treasure was stronger, she would not be able to hold any further. Unfortunately, the Great Evolution Sect''s sect head was also confined by three True God experts, and he was also facing great peril. He truly wasn''t able to lend Bei Suting a hand. "Dean Bei, leave now, we''ll help protect you. As long as you live, you will be our Lost Continent''s hope, and in the future, you can help come back and avenge us¡­" A Hundred Sect Alliance cultivator suddenly cried out. Immediately, more Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators started pleading Bei Suting to escape because that cultivator was right. Bei Suting was the Lost Continent''s greatest hope. She was the Lost Continent''s only expert that achieved the Extreme Mortal Stage, Extreme Earth Stage and the Great Circle of True God Stage Level 3. She was also the youngest of all the True God experts. If it were not for this war which could deracinate the Lost Continent, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have come out. "I, Bei Suting, was able to fight to the death with all my comrades of the Lost Continent. This is my, Bei Suting''s, greatest honour. Perhaps it is the also an honour all of you. But, there¡¯ll only be a Bei Suting who fights to the death; no Bei Suting who cowers to stay. Today, I will only fight for the Lost Continent, I will never retreat¡­" "Fight! Never retreat!" Bei Suting''s words incited crazed counter attacks among the Lost Continent cultivators. Perhaps everyone knew, this was the last radiance they would see in their lives. "Since you cultivators aren''t willing to submit to our Floating Star, then we will no longer behave politely. Annihilate them all! Gerald, bring 10,000 brave soldiers out of here and slaughter everyone you see. My Floating Star doesn''t need these crude pigs, we have our own people." Garber saw that before her death, Bei Suting still wanted to crazily arouse the Lost Continent cultivators to kill his Floating Star cultivators, and he was instantly enraged. Since the Floating Star had already gained the upper hand, the outcome was basically already decided. Sending 10,000 cultivators away would not have any impact at all, and on the contrary, it would plunge the morale of the Lost Continent cultivators. Furthermore, all the Lost Continent experts were gathered here. These 10,000 people could go wherever they liked and wreck havoc as they wished. "Yes!" A man wearing a gold cloak stood forward, the spirituality around his body body was sharp; he was an expert at the Nihility God Stage. "Tell me, when you leave here, what will you do?" Garber shouted loudly. The gold cloaked man replied seriously, "Whether it''s sects, cities or mortal lands, we will kill them all. Not even chickens and dogs will be spared." "Very good. Carry on." Garber nodded contentedly. The gold cloaked man responded, waved his hand and multiple battleships charged out of the Yin Tomb Beach. Each ship was filled with bloodthirsty Floating Star cultivators who exuded bloody auras. Chapter 230: Way To Go, Battleship! Chapter 230: Way To Go, Battleship! Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The courage of the Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators was only temporary. After seeing 10,000 alien cultivators leaving the battlefield to reap all lives on the Lost Continent, the Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators lost their spirit and strength to fight on. At this moment, tens of thousands of alien cultivators also stopped in their attacks as they stared at their comrades mercilessly slaughtering the defeated Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators. At the same time, they prevented anyone from escaping. One could see that they were clearly aiming for complete annihilation in this war. Whether it was the Lost Continent cultivators or the alien cultivators, they all knew: this war was already over. The Lost Continent would soon disappear, and this place would be new continent. Everyone who would live on this new continent who be from the Floating Star. Right at this moment, a flying ship came charging in. At the bow of the ship, there were ten people. A man with black hair and a white beard suddenly jumped out from the flying ship, pouncing towards the alien cultivators. Multiple True God experts from the alien front came forward to accept the challenge. "Boom boom boom!" Crazy bursts of elemental energy exploded in midair. A few figures descended from midair, never to breath again. The sudden unforeseen event left everyone gasping. Even the huge war down in the battlefield instantly went still. One person went against multiple True God experts, and in a simple face-off, a few of the True God experts were immediately killed. Was this a dream? Since when did the Lost Continent have such an expert? ¡­ On a mountain slightly far away from the Yin Tomb Beach, Mo Wuji was staring at the direction of the blood-shrouded battlefield. "Head senior brother, should I go take a look?" Pu Qian took the initiative to ask, seeing the looks of worry on Mo Wuji¡¯s face. Mo Wuji nodded, "That sounds good. Take this flying ship and go over. If you encounter any situation, immediately come back." "Yes." Pu Qian immediately controlled the flying ship and headed towards the Yin Tomb Beach. "Yiping, why don¡¯t you tell me more about the Tian Ji Sect lands?" Mo Wuji said as he fiddled with a laser cannon ammunition. Sang Yiping responded with an "En" before explaining, "The Tian Ji Sect is actually on the periphery of the Ming Han Empire. It¡¯s position actually coincides to form a triangle with the Great Evolution Sect and the Heaven Seeking Palace. Of course, this is only the opinion of our Tian Ji Sect. Many don¡¯t even know the existence of the Tian Ji Sect." "Wasn¡¯t the Ming Han Empire the first to be destroyed by the alien cultivators? I heard that the Ming Han Empire¡¯s capital, Da Ke City, has also been occupied." Mo Wuji asked. Sang Yiping responded, "Da Ke City has indeed been occupied by the alien cultivators but the Ming Han Empire is still there. Our Tian Ji Sect is also at the periphery of the Ming Han Empire, so it hasn¡¯t been noticed. Our Tian Ji Sect occupies hundreds of square miles of land, with one main mountain and more than a hundred secondary summits, all these secondary summits were formed naturally. A river passes through the center, and we call it the Tian Ji River. One could say that the Tian Ji Sect is a natural sect. Even the Great Evolution Sect created many of their secondary summits." "With such a good spot, why didn¡¯t the bigger sects come snatch it up?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically. "Because Tian Ji Sect¡¯s environment and position might be good, but it¡¯s barren spiritual land. Here, spiritual energy is sparse and even with an energy gathering array, it is still impossible to gather dense spiritual energy," Sang Yiping replied. Mo Wuji immediately came to a realisation. The purpose of a sect and its legacy was naturally to gather more power, and it was not merely a place for residence. If a sect didn¡¯t have a place suitable for cultivation, it naturally wouldn¡¯t be able to grow stronger. This was like the Lotus Sword Summit back in the Formless Blade Sect. The spiritual energy around the Tian Ji Sect was sparse, so it was perfectly normal for other sects to not eye its location. "When we return, I will find some ways to install a huge formation to protect the Tian Ji River and all the mountain peaks. At the same time, I will rebuild the Tian Ji Summit." Mo Wuji immediately said. Spiritual energy was not a problem. After all, he was adroit in arrays, and he even had an impressive spiritual vein on him. Sang Yiping shook her head, "Head senior brother, I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible." "Why?" Mo Wuji stared curiously at Sang Yiping. Was the land extremely peculiar, such that a sect protecting array couldn¡¯t be established? Sang Yiping lowered her head and said, "Because more than a half of the hundred plus secondary summits have been rented out. Now, we only have the main summit and ten over secondary summits." Mo Wuji was stunned. A sect rented out its mountain summits to others? This was the first time he heard of such a thing. "The Tian Ji Sect is so short of spirit stones?" Mo Wuji asked with his brows furrowed. Even if a sect was lacking in spirit stones, it should not rent its land over to others, right? Sang Yiping sighed, "The people who rented the tens of Tian Ji Sect¡¯s secondary summits are two major powers. One is the Ming Han Empire¡¯s 14th prince. He controls the Ming Han - Tian Shang Alliance, and this alliance was established on our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s land. This land was mainly used to generate fortunes for him, and at the same time, it houses some of our most desperate disciples. The second power is a mountain fortress. This mountain fortress belongs to the Ming Han Empire¡¯s 26th Prince, and it specialises in doing some shady businesses. As for the rent, our Tian Ji Sect has yet to even see a single copper coin." Mo Wuji instantly lamented in his heart; this lamentation was for the Tian Ji Sect. Tian Ji Sect was, after all, a sect of cultivators. To think that it was caught in the throats by some mortal princes, such that they had to rent their land to them. This was the greatest form of humiliation. "The Ming Han Empire has many Earth Realm experts, which our Tian Ji Sect is only a Xuan sect. We¡¯re unable to fight against them." Sang Yiping¡¯s voice started to gradually turn softer, clearly, she also felt aggrieved and wronged. Mo Wuji was just about to speak when he saw Pu Qian¡¯s flying ship trembling as it charged over. Something¡¯s wrong. Mo Wuji immediately inserted the laser cannon ammunition in his hand, into the laser cannon. At the same time, he said to Sang Yiping and the rest, "Everyone, take charge of a cannon. Then, face the cannon in the direction of Pu Qian¡¯s flying ship and wait for my command." "Yes." Even without Mo Wuji, Sang Yiping and co. knew that something was wrong. Pu Qian¡¯s flying ship looked like it had been damaged. Moments later, Pu Qian¡¯s flying ship descended and Pu Qian came shouting as he charged out, "These people are animals, they¡¯re all animals. They started genocides across many prefectures. Regardless whether they''re adults or little kids, as long as they were alive, these animals killed all of them¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned solemn and killing intent rose in his heart. He came from Earth, and the thing which enraged him the most was the unreasonable and merciless slaughter of innocent lives. These people were worse than animals. When animals killed humans, it was because they were hungry. "They¡¯re here¡­" Nie Zhengnong said, his voice trembling slightly. Everyone saw it; ten flying ships blocked out the entire sky, and each flying ship was filled with cultivators. Each cultivator was shrouded in killing intent, and covered in blood; they were like demons that just climbed up from the bottom of Hell. "There¡¯s close to 10,000 people here¡­" If Nie Zhengnong was still controlling his voice to not tremble, then Zhuang Yan¡¯s voice totally lacked control. With so many people, will they be able to survive? Pu Qian had already entered the battleship and said, "There¡¯s at least 10,000 of them. Moreover, they even have a Nihility God expert among them; my flying ship was almost destroyed by him¡­" As he said this, he suddenly recalled something and he cried out in shock, "Head senior brother, I was wrong. I should have lured them away¡­" They did indeed have a battleship here, and there were even various kinds of cannons. But 10,000 people were far too much. Even a few True Lake Stage experts would be enough to easily eliminate them. Mo Wuji said seriously, "I wanted you to lure them over. Pu Qian, get to a laser cannon. Wait till we start firing, listen to my command to start attacking too. Even if we die here, we still need to pull some of them down with us." "Yes." Listening to Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the rest seemed to have received a huge boost in confidence, as their hands prepared to fire the cannons. The sounds of the alien flying ships became louder. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could already clearly see the faces of the cultivators on the ships. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, choose a flying ship. I choose that leading one. Fire!" "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" There were four consecutive shots. Four cannon ammunitions of different colours charged out of the battleship, causing space to tremble horrifyingly. Even the people who fired the cannons were incomparably shocked. Mo Wuji¡¯s laser cannon shot out a beam of blinding white light, thereafter, he saw a faint, black crevice. A feeling of vastness emerged from that crevice, causing Mo Wuji to unconsciously shiver. Luckily, the crevice disappeared quickly. Soon, it was completely gone. The intense attacks exploded in midair. A patch of terrifying fire burnt out half of the entire sky, causing Mo Wuji and co. to be completely blinded. The fires swept across the sky; even with Mo Wuji¡¯s and Pu Qian¡¯s cultivation, they were drenched in sweat. "Head senior brother, what¡¯s going on. Why is there white light and fire?" Sang Yiping asked with a trembling voice. She was scared still, the moment the cannons were fired, half the sky became engulfed in fire. As for those alien flying ships, she couldn¡¯t even see even a single one of them. "Should we continue to fire?" Zhuang Yan asked agitatedly. Even though she didn¡¯t the outcome of their previous salvo, she knew that the destructive capabilities of these cannons were truly terrifying. Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold air, and after serious considerations, he said, "No need. I have underestimated these cannons. Actually, we only needed one shot. I was too wasteful, to actually shoot out 4 times. Luckily, Pu Qian hasn¡¯t fired." Compared to the others who were blinded, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had long seen the clear situation with the alien flying ships. With those four shots, not only those alien flying ships, but even the surrounding land had been melted into a sea. There was no drop of water in the sky, every single bit of water had been completely vaporised by the intense cannons. After an incense¡¯s time, the fire finally disappeared, and the white light in the sky disappeared. They only saw a deep pool in front of them, and there wasn¡¯t even a shadow of half a flying ship. "Head senior brother, did we destroy those flying ships?" Zhuang Yan asked in shock. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right. Not only were those flying ships destroyed, we did not leave a single trace of them. That pool there, is left behind from the effects of our cannons." The five simultaneously inhaled a breath of cold air, as they stared at the emptiness in front of them. What a terrifying battleship. Even destroying the Heaven Seeking Palace would not be a problem, right? "So impressive." After a long time, Pu Qian finally exclaimed. Chapter 231: Completely Helpless Chapter 231: Completely Helpless Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji finally understood the true destructiveness of the cannons. He guessed that even the Three-eyed Dhuta might not be able to do anything to help with it. It was very likely that these cannons weren''t from the Lost Continent, but descended from some other planet. If these cannons landed in the hands of a mad man, then it would be a calamity. With such impressive cannons, he didn''t even need to bring the ship over to deal with the Yu Lin Lei Clan. Just one cannon alone could wreck them many times over. "Everyone, get down from the cannon forts. These cannons are too powerful, we cannot reveal them," Mo Wuji said seriously. "Yes, head senior brother." The four responded simultaneously. With this powerful battleship equipped with such impressive cannons, Tian Ji Sect was sure to be revived. This gave a huge boost to everyone''s morale. After the four left the battleship, Mo Wuji raised his hand and stored it in his ring. "Head senior brother, guess how many alien cultivators we just killed?" After waiting for Mo Wuji to keep the battleship, Sang Yiping immediately asked. Mo Wuji nodded as he fetched his contribution point token, "You all don''t have a contribution point token, so the contribution points might actually end up going to me." After Mo Wuji clearly saw the contribution points on the token, he was dumbfounded. Sang Yiping and the rest also gathered over, and they were also stunned. "We killed at least 10,000 alien cultivators, right? Why are the points still 112076? We didn''t even get a single point?" Sang Yiping lamented unwillingly. Everyone''s eyes turned towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji understood how the point system worked, so after some thought, he said, "I guess those cannons are too strong, that even the souls of the alien cultivators were disintegrated into nothingness. That''s why the token didn''t record any points." "At least head senior brother is still number one. Otherwise, I would really be unhappy." Even though Sang Yiping could not really accept the explanation, the fact that Mo Wuji was still number one gave her comfort. "Let''s slowly move towards the direction of the battle, and gather news on this war." Mo Wuji was not really concerned about the contribution points, but whether he should bring these people back to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect or leave this place all together. If the alien cultivators really defeated the Hundred Sect Alliance, then no matter how strong his cannons were, he would be able to stop the onslaught of the huge masses of alien cultivators. If news of his cannons reached the alien cultivators hands, they definitely wouldn''t come and find him with just some flying ships alone. ¡­ It was bleak silence over the Yin Tomb Beach. The black haired, white bearded man had already landed on the ground and was in clear view. Both his hands were empty; he didn''t even use any kind of magic treasure. Beneath his feet, were the bodies of several True God experts. All of them weren''t breathing. One of the alien True God expert relatively far from the black haired, white bearded man suddenly rushed to the flying ship hovering in the sky. The Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators finally reacted: the alien cultivators knew that the black haired, white bearded man was powerful, so they wanted to hold the people aboard the flying ship as hostage. The flying ship came together with the black haired, white bearded man, so holding the people inside as hostage should be able to threaten him. Everyone''s eyes descended on the black haired, white bearded man. They were sure that he would immediately rush towards the flying ship to save his companions. What left everyone confused was that the black haired, white bearded man acted as though he did not notice that True God expert''s sneak attack, as he continued to stroll towards the center of the battlefield. "Bang!" The sound of a strong surge of elemental energy could be heard and a figure was shot out of the flying ship, landing hard on the ground. The figure that was shot out, was exactly that alien True God expert who tried to attack the flying ship. This True God expert was only injured, and not killed. Even so, this left the entire Yin Tomb Beach in deep shock. Even the ten people on the flying ship were able to easily deal with a True God expert in a single second. Clearly, they weren''t easy to mess with. Where did this group of experts come from? What are they doing here? Regardless where the experts came from, there were no negative consequences for the Hundred Sect Alliance. Bei Suting waved her hand and everyone retreated, standing behind her. In this war, the Hundred Sect Alliance lost more than hundred thousand cultivators, and even five True God experts perished. This was a huge blow to their battle power. Originally, she wanted to lead the remaining survivors to pit their lives to kill as many alien cultivators as they can. But suddenly, this ship appeared, which gave the Hundred Sect Alliance an additional breath of fresh air. However, before things were made clear, she would try her best to recover from her injuries and wait for the right opportunity. Garber''s face was slightly pale as he arrived in front of the black haired, white bearded man. He bowed and clasped his fists, "Floating Star''s Garber greets senior. I didn''t know that senior was passing by. I seek senior''s understanding towards our mistakes." The Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators were laughing coldly. This was the oppression of power. Before the black haired, white bearded man emerged, Garber didn''t say anything and directly attacked his ship. But now, Garber still had to put up a face of smiles without any hint of disrespect as he apologized to the black haired, white bearded man. The black haired, white bearded man said coldly, "You''re from the Floating Star, why did you come here?" Garber''s heart started pounding faster as he hurriedly said, "If senior likes this place, junior will immediately withdraw and give it to senior." The black haired, white bearded man chuckled, but his face was still icy cold, "I need you to give me this place? I have stayed on this land for hundreds of years. Don''t tell me I need your Floating Star''s permission to continue staying here?" "Ah¡­" Garber was immediately dumbfounded. His Floating Star had already started their campaign on the Lost Continent for two to three years. Since when were there such powerful experts? On the other hand, the Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators were ecstatic. They never expected that such a supreme expert was hiding on the Lost Continent. Just this expert alone was enough to destroy all these alien cultivators. Garber instantly reacted, it was as though he fell into a pool of cold ice. He immediately bowed and said, "Forgive me senior. We will immediately retreat from here. From now on, we won''t even set half a foot on this land." The black haired, white bearded man chuckled once more, "You think you can come as you like, and leave as you wish? Do you think this is your house¡¯s backyard?" With that, the black haired, white bearded man lifted his hand and sent a slap towards Garber. Garber clearly saw the slap coming, but even with his True God Stage Level 3 cultivation, he was still unable to avoid this slap. "Pfff!" A True God expert was instantly turned into a fog of blood in front of this black haired, white bearded man. "Dared to trespass on my land. Complete annihilation." After slapping Garber to death, the black haired, white bearded man snorted and flew into the air. Within his hands, he gathered a vast killing intent which he sent hurling towards the over hundred thousand alien cultivators. The aura of that vastness forced everyone to kneel. Complete annihilation. Those were the words Garber just said. The alien cultivators immediately became restless as countless of them all wanted to escape. Whether they could or couldn¡¯t fly, they were all killed under the palms of the black haired, white bearded man. Large patches of them were killed each time. In the blink of an eye, over hundred thousand cultivators were killed. Whether they were True God experts or Spirit Building Stage cultivators, they were all ants under his hands. The Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators were frozen still. These killing methods, even if there were ten times the number of alien cultivators, it still wouldn¡¯t be enough for him to kill. Bei Suting waved and said, "Let¡¯s join in the killing." The alien cultivators had lost all their fighting spirit. The Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s tens of thousands of cultivators charged out once more, and in just an incense¡¯s time, there were no longer any alien cultivators standing on the Yin Tomb Beach. Thickly dotted around the Yin Tomb Beach, the countless numbers of corpses reminded everyone that in less an hour, tens of thousands of people were killed. In the previous battle, as the alien cultivators murdered the Hundred Sect Alliance, at least the Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators could still resist. But now, the alien cultivators were completely helpless. This was no longer a war, it was a one sided slaughter. "Lost Continent, Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Bei Suting greets senior. Senior, many thanks for extending your help, allowing my Lost Continent¡¯s cultivators a chance to live on." Bei Suting walked in front of that black haired, white bearded man and bowed. The black haired, white bearded man¡¯s eyes scanned across Bei Suting, then it descended on the survivors from the Hundred Sect Alliance. Shaking his head, he sighed "Cultivation is too low, talent is also too low¡­" Bei Suting remained silent. If anyone else said that her talent was low, she definitely wouldn¡¯t put it to heart, because she knew what her talent was. But with this black haired, white bearded man¡¯s words, it made her feel that she might perhaps be of poor talent. "I¡¯m not talking about you. I¡¯m talking about these cultivators. Yours is still acceptable." The black haired, white bearded man saw Bei Suting¡¯s slight depression, and gave some words of consolation. There were a few tens of thousands of Hundred Sect Alliance survivors, and including the Great Evolution Sect Head, no one dared to say a word. With such an expert, even a simple blow of his breath was enough to destroy them. "May I ask whether senior is a hidden Heaven Realm expert of our Lost Continent?" Bei Suting asked reverently. This was a major point of worry. If these experts weren¡¯t from the Lost Continent, what were their aims from annihilating the alien cultivators? The black haired, white bearded man shook his head and said, "We¡¯re from the same planet, but not the same continent. We came from the Zhen Mo Continent, and as for our motives, we¡¯ll talk about it later." "Senior came here by traversing across the Five Elements Desolate Domain?" Bei Suting finally understood why the other party was so strong; he was from the Zhen Mo Continent. Many people in the five empires were unaware of the Zhen Mo Continent, but she was not one of them. Across the Five Elements Desolate Domain, was the Zhen Mo Continent. However, for a Lost Continent cultivator to use his own abilities to travel across the Five Elements Desolate Domain was simply a pipe dream. The black haired, white bearded man nodded, "That¡¯s right. This time, I hope to increase the abilities of the Lost Continent. Otherwise, every time alien cultivators arrive, we would need to make a trip over. That would really tire out our legs." "Yes, senior." Bei Suting finally let down her caution, and at the same time, her face was burning with anticipation. She was the first dean of the Heaven Seeking Palace, and the goal of the Heaven Seeking Palace was to nurture the Lost Continent¡¯s strongest cultivators. But in reality, with her power as the dean, she was only strong enough to defend against two to three others at the same True God Realm. Chapter 232: Worldly Immortal King Chapter 232: Worldly Immortal King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Outside of Yan City, there were crowds celebrating everywhere. While countless cultivators had perished at the Yin Tomb Beach, all of the alien cultivators were killed. This was definitely an occasion to celebrate. Some of the larger sects¡¯ sect heads were invited to Yan City to take part in the welcoming banquet for Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s experts, and most of the cultivators had gathered around Yan City to celebrate too. As for Yan City¡¯s Immortal Jade House, it was filled to the brim, and there were even people making merry on its doorsteps. At this moment, regardless whether you had enmity with other cultivators, everyone put down their differences to celebrate for the Lost Continent. Mo Wuji¡¯s group of five also arrived outside of Yan City, but they did not know what was going on when they saw the scene of celebration before them. "Head senior brother, what¡¯s happening?" Sang Yiping asked quizzically. "Let¡¯s go ask around first." Mo Wuji shook his head, as he did not know what was going on. Based on his calculations, the Hundred Sect Alliance should have lost the war, but the reality presented to him was that the alliance won by a large margin. They squeezed through the crowd to enter Yan City, and only after hearing the crowd¡¯s discussion did they finally understand the current situation. As the Hundred Sect Alliance was about to be defeated and the Lost Continent was about to be taken away by the alien cultivators, experts of the Zhen Mo Continent arrived. "The elder from Zhen Mo Continent simply lifted his hand, and tens of thousands of cultivators in front of him were killed. The tens of True God Stage cultivators were among them, but they were still killed instantly." "My friend, you must be exaggerating. Even though I did not go to the battlefield, but I still know that the Zhen Mo Continent does not have tens of True God Stage experts. On top of that, killing tens of thousands of cultivators with one hand, that¡¯s a little¡­" "While this guy did exaggerate it a little, that elder really did kill many True God Stage experts with one hand. I saw it with my own eyes." "What stage would that be?" "I heard that it¡¯s the Worldly Immortal King Stage." "What¡¯s the Worldly Immortal King Stage?" "It¡¯s the Worldly Immortal Stage above the True God Stage, as for what it is, how would I know¡­" ¡­ Mo Wuji did not know what the Worldly Immortal King was, but at least he had found out who had eliminated the alien cultivators: the Zhen Mo Continent experts. It seemed like the people that Jing Gumu met on Zhen Mo Continent were not really experts, otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to cross the Sky Sea to reach Sky Lake Island with his level of strength, much less acquire the Six Cleanse Immortal Estate. "Head senior brother¡­" Sang Yiping and Co. looked to Mo Wuji after they understood what had happened. To that, Mo Wuji immediately replied, "We will leave this place now, and I¡¯ll make a trip to Heaven Seeking Palace first. After all, I¡¯m still a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace. Once I¡¯ve left the sect, I¡¯ll start rebuilding Tian Ji Sect straight away." ¡­ The most luxurious place in Yan City was naturally the Tian Shang Palace. However, it was not the location where the Lost Continent welcomed the experts of Zhen Mo Continent. As for Tian Shang Empire¡¯s king, Zhao Dan, he was also invited but he could only sit far behind. Even though this banquet was to welcome Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s experts, the person that sat at the king¡¯s seat was not Bei Suting. The sect heads of the Hundred Sect Alliance could understand why it was so. After all, in the presence of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s experts, the Lost Continent had no right to speak. What made Bei Suting and Co. shocked was that the person seated at the top seat was not the black haired man with a white beard, who seemed like he was in the Worldly Immortal Stage, but instead a handsome youth in purple robes. The purple robed youth¡¯s gaze swept across everyone in the hall, and spoke with a smile, "Let me introduce ourselves, as many of you might know already, we are from Zhen Mo Continent. The truth is as Defender Xu said, while we are from different continents, we are of the same planet. There is a great place on Zhen Mo Continent, called Star King Mountain. Star King Mountain¡¯s standing in Zhen Mo Continent is just like Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s in Lost Continent. I am a special envoy sent by Star King Mountain, and everyone can call me Xia Mu." After speaking, he pointed to the black haired, white moustached man to his left and said, "This is Star King Mountain¡¯s defender, Xu Chihuang, Elder Xu is someone I respect deeply." At the point, Xia Mu paused for a moment, as his eyes turned to Bei Suting, and he did not continue introducing the red faced tall man on his right. As for the other Zhen Mo Continent experts, he did not introduce them either. Bei Suting stood up and spoke, "Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Bei Suting greets Special Envoy Xia, Defender Xu, and all elders from Zhen Mo Continent." Bei Suting was the First Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace, hence after she stood up to greet the Zhen Mo Continent experts, the other sects heads of various large sects followed suit. Once all greetings were done, Xia Mu still remained silent, with a calm expression on his face, as though as he did not hear any of the greetings from all the sects. The sect heads of the Lost Continent could not really hold it in. While they were a little weaker, those that could sit here were quasi-heaven sects¡¯ sect heads. Even the lousiest was a top Earth tier sect¡¯s sect head. The red faced tall man to Xia Mu¡¯s right suddenly spoke, "Bei Suting, you are Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dean, and Special Envoy Xia represents Star King Mountain. Isn¡¯t it disrespectful for you to speak while covered by a veil?" The atmosphere in the hall immediately became solemn, and everyone finally understood why this special envoy stopped speaking: he wanted Bei Suting to take off her veil. As the First Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace, Bei Suting also represented the whole Lost Continent. So forcing Bei Suting to take off her veil was no longer a matter that affected her alone. How could she get forced to take off her veil at such a place? Pressure and overbearing silence engulfed the whole hall. The celebratory mood almost disappeared instantaneously. A long while later, Bei Suting stood up and bowed respectfully to Xia Mu, "Suting swore never to take off my veil in front of others before I complete my dao. Once my dao is complete, my dao partner will take off my veil. I hope special envoy Sir will be understanding towards my unwillingness to take off my veil." Xia Mu¡¯s face darkened, and as his handsome face stopped smiling, it gave others an overwhelming sense of pressure. The red faced tall man laughed at his, "It¡¯s very simple, the special envoy can let you enter the Star King Mountain. Once you enter, will there be any need to worry about completing your dao? Special Envoy Xia is already at Nihility God Stage Level 4, and before long he will enter the True God Stage. As long as you enter Star King Mountain, someone with your talent will definitely reach Worldly Immortal Stage together with Special Envoy Xia." Xia Mu nodded his head, and was satisfied with the red faced man¡¯s words. When the rest heard the words "Worldly Immortal Stage" all of the sect heads revealed a face full of desire. Out of all of them, not many were in the True God Stage, much less anywhere close to the Worldly Immortal Stage. At the same time, they were shocked by Xia Mu¡¯s talent. While Xia Mu did not look that old, he was actually at Nihility God Stage Level 4. Even Bei Suting had only reached True God Stage Level 3. Even Bei Suting¡¯s eyes lit up with passion when she head the worlds "Worldly Immortal Stage". This was the stage that she had always pursued. Xia Mu¡¯s expression simmered down, as soon as he saw the passion in Bei Suting¡¯s eyes, "Manager Ceng is right, as long as you enter Star King Mountain, I guarantee that you¡¯ll be able to enter the Worldly Immortal Stage with me. Wordly immortal, also known as the Worldly Immortal King. At the Worldly Immortal Stage, I believe that your dao will also be complete." While he did not bring up marriage at all, everyone knew what Xia Mu meant. Xia Mu was touched by Bei Suting¡¯s ravishing looks and talent, so all that was left was for her to take off her veil, and perhaps the next step for him would be to ask for her hand in marriage if he was satisfied with what he saw. Bei Suting understood what Xia Mu meant too, and she lowered her tone, "Special Envoy Xia¡¯s talent is beyond anything I¡¯ve seen before, and his appearance is like a dragon or phoenix among men. I believe that an outstanding man like Special Envoy Xia must have many soulmates, so why bother with an ordinary woman from the Lost Continent like me?" With a smile, Xia Mu replied, "Sister Suting, you are not an ordinary woman. Not taking into account your unworldly beauty, your age is not that far off from mine, yet you''ve entered the Extreme Mortal Stage, and eventually reached True God Stage Level 3 today, hence your talent is no worse than mine. Moreover, in my dao cultivation, having a few soulmates is quite normal. I believe that once you enter the Star King Mountain, you¡¯ll bring more colour to the area." These words came from the heart, as for Xia Mu, when a person caught the eye of someone in his position, and he wanted the person to become his dao partner, it depended not on his cultivation, but the cultivation of the person. In the Zhen Mo Continent, there were countless beauties that wanted to be his dao partner, but he never bothered with them. From his perspective, he had to take over the Star King Mountain one day, and which star lord of Star King Mountain did not have a few dao partners? If there were one, that would be a joke. His dao partners had to not only look good, but a good level of talent was essential. Even though he did not enter the Extreme Mortal Stage previously, but he did reach Level 10 for Yuan Dan Stage and True Lake Stage, so there was a high chance for him to enter the Extreme Earth Stage. On top of that, he was trained in the soul viewing art, so he could see that Bei Suting had dao halos of the Extreme Mortal Stage. However, he could not directly tell Bei Suting that he was going to be the next star lord of Star King Mountain. It would be her honor to become one of his concubines, which was equivalent to one of the female masters of Star King Mountain. After all, he only had the possibility of becoming the next head, and it was not a certainty yet. As for Bei Suting, she did not have someone she liked, so if Xia Mu really fancied her, it wasn¡¯t impossible for them to get together. However, when she heard that she would be only one of Xia Mu¡¯s many dao partners, she immediately came to an understanding, "Thank you special envoy for your kind intentions, but Suting has always pursued dao, and will not think about finding a dao partner so soon. It would depend on Suting¡¯s luck to determine whether she can enter the Star King Mountain, so if I fail to do so, it must be that my luck is not enough." Hearing this, Xia Mu¡¯s heart sank, as he had never saw someone who failed to appreciate kindness like this Bei Suting. Was the Heaven Seeking Palace that impressive? He only had to give an order and Heaven Seeking Palace would be razed to the ground. As the atmosphere became suffocating, the black haired, white bearded Defender Xu suddenly spoke, "Let¡¯s put these side chatter to one side for now. This is not the reason why we¡¯re here today. If Special Envoy Xia does not have the time to say it, then I will." The initially unhappy Xia Mu suddenly went back to normal, and even sailed to Defender Xu with a tinge of embarrassment, "Elder Xu¡¯s is right, I have been too presumptuous. Sect heads, I went off tangent just now. I represent Star King Mountain here today, and other than to chase away those alien cultivators, I have two matters on hand." Chapter 233: Leaving the Sect Chapter 233: Leaving the Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Bei Suting looked gratefully at the black hair white bearded Defender Xu as she believed that this Defender Xu must be an expert of the Worldly Immortal King Stage. Xia Mu appeared as if nothing happened as he smiled and said, "The first matter is that Zhen Mo Continent is about to accept a top grade qualified disciple into Zhen Mo Continent to cultivate¡­" Because of this statement, the originally low-spirited and depressed palace started roaring again. Many sect heads started to whisper and discuss about this. "Special Envoy Xia, may I know if these newly recruited disciples will be sent straight to Star King Mountain to cultivate?" Xia Mu sneered, send to Star King Mountain? Am I the one or are you the one dreaming? However, he maintained his smile as he replied, "The top disciple that will be chosen from the selection here will be accepted into the Zhen Mo Continent to participate in the selection there. Only the top participant will be enrolled as a disciple of the big sect in Zhen Mo Continent. The prerequisites to enter the Star King Mountain are much harsher in which a disciple needs to have outstanding qualifications and a certain level of contribution to the Continent." Xia Mu¡¯s words made the majority of the sect heads excited instead of dampening their mood. Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivation culture and level of knowledge were all superior over the Lost Continent so even if they were to join the other sects, being able to advance into the True God Stage would be a good enough achievement for the sect heads. However, Jiang Xiushan was slightly troubled as he did not believe that the Zhen Mo Continent was as great as Xia Mu¡¯s description. There must be a hidden reason why Zhen Mo Continent came over to the Lost Continent to recruit disciples. Xia Mu used his hand to silence the noise in palace¡¯s hall before saying, "Ten days later, we will hold the top grade disciples selection. The top disciple that is chosen after this selection would follow us back to Zhen Mo Continent. After this year, we will come back to hold this selection once every three years." "Special Envoy Xia, there are some sects which are located further away from the Yan City so I¡¯m afraid they might not be able to make it in time," Feng Zhenqiu stood up in a hurry to say this. In the battle at the Yin Tomb Beach, he was already wounded. Now that the Zhen Mo Continent expert was here, he managed to make it here to welcome Xia Mu even with his wounds. Xia Mu replied faintly, "Those located further away and couldn¡¯t make it in time means that they have no fate. This is decided and we shall talk about the second matter." Feng Zhenqiu could only sigh as he sat back down. Even though he was only the second dean of the Heaven Seeking Palace, he was the one who made majority of the decisions concerning the Heaven Seeking Palace. In front of a special envoy from Zhen Mo Continent, even a person of such high status in the Lost Continent like Feng Zhenqiu had no say in anything. "The second matter is that we have to find a particular person," Xia Mu waved his hand after he finished speaking and a huge, clear portrait of a person appeared in front of the crowd, "This man should be a cultivator of the Lost Continent and if anyone were to know of his whereabouts, we can arrange for that person to enter the Star King Mountain directly. The moment the human portrait was revealed, there were at least seven to eight people in the hall showing uncertainty in what they were looking at. It seemed as though there was more than one person in the hall who recognised the man in the portrait. The sect leader of the Great Evolution Sect, Jiang Xiushan, stood up and said, "Special Envoy Xia, a lot of people do know about this senior." The moment Xia Mu heard this, he stood up excitedly before exclaiming in a hurry, "May I please know who he is and where he is now?" From the time Xia Mu appeared in front of everybody, this was the first time everyone witnessed him being so polite with his words and even used the word ¡®please¡¯. Even though he was talking with a smile all these while, there was still an air of arrogance around him which made people felt that he didn¡¯t treat any of them as being on the same level as he was. "This man was the Lost Continent number one sect, Heaven Sect¡¯s head called Jing Gumu," Jiang Xiushan of the Great Evolution Sect had no hesitation in mentioning that the Heaven Sect was the number one sect around. If it was anyone else, they would have only introduced him as the sect head of the Heaven Sect and not add the ¡®number one sect¡¯. Even though the Great Evolution Sect surpassed the Heaven Seeking Palace to claim first place in both the Sect Contribution Board and the Hundred Sects Alliance Contribution Board, Heaven Seeking Palace was still considered to be the number one sect in the eyes of many cultivators in the Lost Continent. Jiang Xiushan¡¯s reluctance to admit Heaven Seeking Palace being the number one sect and the fact that the Great Evolution was never truly number one led to him saying that the Heaven Sect was the number one sect instead. This made his heart felt a little more carefree. "Where is he?" Xia Mu tried to control his excitement as he asked again. Jiang Xiushan sighed as he replied, "If sect head Jing was still around, how can these alien barbarians be this arrogant? Sect head Jing had already disappeared a few thousand years ago and I¡¯ve heard that he disappeared while he was in closed door cultivation in his attempt to advance to the Worldly Immortal King Stage." "So who is the sect head of the Heaven Sect now?" Xia Mu used his eyes to scan through the crowd of sect heads. By now, everyone was sure that Xia Mu was looking for Jing Gumu for something that was probably very important. Jiang Xiushan continued, "After the disappearance of senior Jing, the sect was broken apart and then eventually disappeared into the history of the Lost Continent Xia Mu felt dejected as he sat down without making any noise. After a few minutes, Defender Xu took the initiative to say, "10 days later, there will be a disciple selection here at the Yan City Plaza and the selection slots will be limited to only a hundred. I will leave this selection in the hands of the Heaven Seeking Palace First Dean, Bei Suting and the sect head of the Great Evolution Sect. I hope that the Lost Continent would be able to produce its own expert without the need for them to cross the Five Elements Desolate Domain to reach here. That is all for today, all sect heads please return to prepare for the selection. We will see each other 10 days later." Xu Chihuang made his decision in only a few sentences before being the first to stand up. "Yes!" Bei Suting and Jiang Xiushan stood up with all the remaining sect heads before bowing towards Xu Chihuang as a form of respect. Everyone could tell how Xu Chihuang was not satisfied with Special Envoy Xia because he wouldn¡¯t have broke special envoy¡¯s silence and did what he needed to do so quickly. Xia Mu finally reacted as she hurried to stand up, "We will proceed accordingly to Defender Xu and see each other in 10 days¡¯ time. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship was still controlled by Pu Qian because he was the strongest one there so the ship¡¯s speed would naturally be the fastest under his control. The flying ship was refined by Mo Wuji so as long as Mo Wuji gave his permission, other than being unable to keep this magic treasure, Pu Qian¡¯s control of this ship¡¯s speed would not be significantly slower than him controlling it himself. Mo Wuji himself tried to make use of as much time as he could to delve into Chu Xingzi¡¯s array dao legacy because if he wanted to rebuild Tian Ji Sect, his array dao had to be much stronger. Presently, he was very close to be able to set up intermediate grade arrays so as long as he were to improve by one more step, he would be able to set up intermediate grade arrays easily. The only trouble was that to set up intermediate arrays, he needed to refine array flags. He could of course hire someone else to refine these array flags but for array flags for setting up his own arrays, it would naturally be much handier if he were to refine them himself. The speed of this flying ship was definitely much faster than Mo Wuji¡¯s previous flying car. 10 days later, the flying ship stopped outside the Heaven Seeking Palace following Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions. "Pu Qian, you bring the rest and wait for me at the Heaven Seeking City Immortal Training Hotel. I will be there in about a couple of days. Also, once you all have reached the Heaven Seeking City, help me ask around for the Nine Moons Pill House," Mo Wuji exhorted them the moment he kept his flying ship before separating from Pu Qian and co. towards the Heaven Seeking Palace himself. ¡­ The Heaven Seeking Palace was even colder and more depressing as Mo Wuji returned to his residence at the outer sect summit. He wanted to see if Chao Buheng was around and if he was, Mo Wuji would leave some medicinal pills with him. Thinking back, other than Zhen Shaoru, Chao Buheng was his only friend in the Heaven Seeking Palace outer sect summit. Chap Buheng was not around and not only that, even Zhen Shaoru was nowhere to be found. Mo Wuji did not recognise the few disciples he saw at the outer sect summit. Mo Wuji went towards the pill pagoda instead of heading to the sect¡¯s Hall of Affairs to settle the formalities to leave the sect. Just as Mo Wuji predicted, there was no one whom he was familiar with around. Even the fishing white bearded elder who used to sit in front of the pill pagoda was no longer around. Cen Shuyin, Hou Yucheng, Ren Tianxing were all not around and this made him felt a little melancholy because he couldn¡¯t even find a person to bid goodbye to. After leaving this place, he would no longer be a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace and if the Tian Ji Sect were to become great someday, it might even have to clash with the Heaven Seeking Palace. Since he decided to rebuild Tian Ji Sect, he had no intentions of letting Tian Ji Sect remain as a Xuan grade sect. Who could be sure whether or not Tian Ji Sect would one day become a true Heaven grade sect? "Senior apprentice brother Mo!" A surprised voice interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s random thoughts. "So its junior apprentice sister Zuo. Congratulations on becoming a Sword Lake disciple," Mo Wuji laughed as he greeted her. The person who greeted him was Zuo Shaoying. Mo Wuji met her once at the Heaven Seeking Palace encampment in the Five Elements Desolate Domain and then met her once more afterwards. This was a lady who could make people feel a breath of fresh air when they saw her but her sister Zuo Shaoyi was the exact opposite as Mo Wuji felt disgusted at the sight of her. Ju Qijian, who Zuo Shaoyi was always clinging around, had been killed by Mo Wuji so he wondered if she would avenge him. Without Zuo Shaoyi by her side, Zuo Shaoying was exceptionally cheerful, "I am also only an outer disciple. Senior apprentice brother Mo, I thought you went out to the alien battlefront because many experts of the Heaven Seeking Palace had went there including senior apprentice sister Cen and my sister." Mo Wuji laughed, "I am only an outer disciple so why would I join the crowd? Oh yes, I would be leaving the Heaven Seeking Palace very soon." "Ah...leaving the Heaven Seeking Palace?" Zuo Shaoying looked astonishingly at Mo Wuji. "Yes, I will be heading to another sect. I will be settling my formalities at the Hall of Affairs to leave the sect so I¡¯m here to say goodbye to you and I hope you will be able to enter the inner sect of the Heaven Seeking Palace soon," Mo Wuji turned and left after laughing. Zuo Shaoying stared dazedly at Mo Wuji¡¯s backview as she still had no clue what was going on. So many people strived so hard to attempt to enter the Heaven Seeking Palace but why would Mo Wuji, who finally made it into the Heaven Seeking Palace, want to leave? After half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji stood in front of the entrance of the sect¡¯s Hall of Affairs. He looked at the massive Heaven Seeking Board and had a strong urge to climb the Heaven Seeking Palace again. During his first attempt, Mo Wuji only climbed to the eighth step as he wanted to hide his true ability. Now that he was in Extreme Mortal Stage of the Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12, he really wanted to know how many steps he could climb. ¡­ Concurrently, there was a huge crowd of cultivators gathering at the Yan City Plaza. Because today was the selection day to choose the disciple to head towards Zhen Mo Continent. Other than being excited to witness Defender Xu reveal his horrifying strength, everyone was looking forward to seeing who would be the chosen one. As long as there was only a small hope of getting chosen, nobody was willing to give it up. Chapter 234: Re-challenging The Heaven Seeking Staircase Chapter 234: Re-challenging The Heaven Seeking Staircase Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Zhen Mo Continent Genius Selection was presided by the Great Evolution Sect Head Jiang Xiushan and the Heaven Seeking Palace Second Dean Feng Zhenqiu. On the other hand, Bei Suting remained in Yan City. Even if she got selected, she wasn''t really interested. Even though the Yan City Square was wide and spacious, with the ten new competition stages, a main judging altar and the crowds of people, the entire square was filled to the brim. Xia Mu and Xu Chihuang were at the center of the main judging altar. They were here to see the talents of the Lost Continent, and at the same time, be the judges of the competition. Jiang Xiushan, Feng Zhenqiu and the other Lost Continent judges set on the left and right of the two. "Begin!" Xia Mu nodded towards Jiang Xiushan and said simply. Jiang Xiushan stood up, clasped his fists towards Xia Mu and Xu Chihuang and talked to the center of the main altar. Even though Xia Mu viewed the Heaven Seeking Palace more highly, Jiang Xiushan did not seem to care much about it. But in actual fact, he was truly dissatisfied that the Heaven Seeking Palace was above the Great Evolution Sect, and he also harboured the same discontentment towards Xia Mu. "Greetings dao friends and the cultivators of my Lost Continent. Today, we must truly thank the seniors from the Zhen Mo Continent. If not for their timely appearance, the Lost Continent might have already fallen to those alien cultivators. I believe that all dao friends are like me, we all know that our cultivation heritage in the Lost Continent is lacking. Fortunately, the Zhen Mo Continent has given us an opportunity; this time, they will accept 100 disciples to the Zhen Mo Continent. I believe that this is not a cause of great anticipation for our Lost Continent, but also of every cultivator here." Jiang Xiushan¡¯s words induced a round of hearty applause. Ostensibly, his final sentence was true. "I really hope for everyone to have a chance to head towards the Zhen Mo Continent to pursue the greater dao. But unfortunately, we have limited placings and limited time. We will only select 100 fated cultivators. Our targets must at least be in the Transcending Mortality Stage and below the age of 50¡­" As expected, the moment Jiang Xiushan announced the selection criteria, the Yan City Square buzzed with noise. Clearly, many people were unhappy with the criteria. Jiang Xiushan raised his hand and gestured to the crowd, after everyone settled down, he continued, "Even though many might not have the qualifications to participate in the selection, it does not mean that there won''t be an opportunity in the future. In the future, this selection will take place once every three years, together with our Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition. Also, the future criteria will be more broad, and more would have the chance to cultivate in the Zhen Mo Continent. Now, Dean Feng will explain the rules." After hearing Jiang Xiushan''s words, that previous chaos gradually calmed down. When he noticed the person walking on the stage was not Bei Suting but Feng Zhenqiu, Xia Mu furrowed his brows. However, he saw that Xu Chihuang didn''t make any sort of indication, so he could only remain silent. It was true that he was a special envoy, but every Worldly Immortal King was a unique existence. Even though he was a special envoy, he still had to respect Defender Xu. Feng Zhenqiu clasped his fists towards the cultivators in the square, and he immediately went to the point, "Because of the limitations in time, there will not be any registration for the selection. Anyone who fulfils the conditions can come up on the stage. We have selected ten arena champions; these ten are the top ten on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Point Board¡­" Feng Zhenqiu''s words immediately incited applause from the crowd. No one had any disagreements with the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s top 10 being the arena champions. These were people who earned that spot through their own abilities. There were also many people who looked forward expectantly for Rogue Cultivator 2705. They wanted to know who was this rogue cultivator who occupied the first place on the rankings board. Feng Zhenqiu pointed towards the ten stages and said, "May the ten heroes come up on stage. Anyone can challenge the stages. All who won three consecutive rounds will advance to the next round. These will be elimination rounds, losing any round will get you out of the selection. If no one challenges a stage in an incense''s time, the champion will automatically make it to the next round." Everyone silently expressed shock in their hearts; even though this competition method was fast, it was also very cruel. The moment they went up on stage, they couldn''t lose. Losing a single battle would mean that they would lose the entire competition By the time Feng Zhenqiu''s voice descended, six cultivators had already gone up on stage. Feng Zhenqiu stared blankly towards the empty stages and asked, "Where are the other four?" One of the judges stood up and said towards Feng Zhenqiu, "Rank 4: Gao Chi, Rank 7: Sha Moao, Rank 9: Sun Qianlie have died in the Yin Tomb Beach. There''s still no news on Rank 1: Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­" The judge''s voice was not soft and almost everyone on the scene heard it. The originally heated Yan City Square toned down a little. Feng Zhenqiu saw that Xia Mu also had an ugly expression on his face and he immediately said loudly, "Countless heroes of our Lost Continent have perished during our battle on Yin Tomb Beach. But we must not let their blood and deaths go to waste; we must continue to strive for greater heights. That''s how we can continue to take their place and protect our homeland." "Yes, protect our homeland." A heated cheer reverberated throughout the square. In addition to the anticipation towards the competition, there now an additional emotion of patriotism. Feng Zhenqiu nodded and continued, "May the 11th to 14th ranked cultivators come and be our arena champions¡­" Only two people went up this time. It was only until Feng Zhenqiu called out the 18th place that the ten arena champions were finally gathered. This not only caused Feng Zhenqiu''s expression to turn heavy, but the entire mood of all the Lost Continent cultivators went down. During this war, how many geniuses and heroes perished? "Let the challenges begin!" After the ten arena champions gathered on stage, Feng Zhenqiu announced the start of the competition and retreated. Xia Mu, who was looking forward to the start of the competition, could not help but shake his head. Besides Rank 2 and Rank 3 who were rather capable, none of the other champions really caught his eye. ¡­ Because of the war with the alien cultivators, any cultivator with a bit of power in the Heaven Seeking Palace had left the sect. Even in broad daylight, few people could be seen. When it came to night, the sight of another person became rarer. At this moment, besides the faint moonlight on the Heaven Seeking Staircase, only Mo Wuji was standing there. Beside the Heaven Seeking Staircase, was a huge erected Heaven Seeking Board. On the board, the number one was still Gou Zihan. Mo Wuji smiled; he was not in the Transcending Mortality Stage, it could be considered the best stage to challenge the Heaven Seeking Staircase. If he got to the next realm, the pressure on the Heaven Seeking Staircase would increase by several fold. Mo Wuji looked upwards at the Heaven Seeking Staircase; it''s top was unfathomably high and it couldn''t even be seen. After organising his emotions, Mo Wuji climbed up towards the Heaven Seeking Staircase''s first step. A mild pressure could be felt. Without feeling even a slight influence, Mo Wuji climbed up the second step. When he was back in the Channel Opening Stage, he already didn''t meet with any problems climbing up the second step. Much less now, when he was in the Extreme Mortal Stage [1] with 101 open meridians. In a few breaths, Mo Wuji had already charged past the 20th step and arrived on the 21th step. At this moment, the pressure and expulsion had risen exponentially, but still did not mean much to Mo Wuji. In half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji had gotten past the 53rd step and climbed onto the 54th step. Mo Wuji looked at the pure white stone board by the side of the staircase; he was clear that if he wrote his name on this step, his name would soon appear on the Heaven Seeking Board''s 50th place. Because previously when he saw Cen Shuyin''s name on the board, she was at 50th place and she had also climbed to the 54th step. Mo Wuji was sure that Cen Shuyin did not achieve that result in half an incense''s time. Even though the pressure wasn''t small, it still wasn''t much for Mo Wuji. 55th, 56th¡­ As he went up, the pressure and the pulling force became increasingly stronger. When he reached the 67th step, it wasn''t merely a pressure anymore; there seemed to be revolutionary force which wanted to sweep Mo Wuji up and throw him down. 68th step, 69th step... In two hours, Mo Wuji stopped at the 82nd step. The crazy pressure and revolutionary force came surging over, causing Mo Wuji''s legs to tremble slightly. He could not help but feel a little disappointed. He originally wanted to reach the 108th step, but his legs had already started shaking at the 82nd step. He might be able to climb another 10 steps, but that would only put him at number 1 on the Heaven Seeking Board; it was almost impossible for him to reach the 108th step. Whether it was impossible or not, he would have to give it a try. Number 1 on the Heaven Seeking Board was not what he wanted; this name was completely useless to him. 83rd step, 84th step¡­ At this moment, Mo Wuji ignited his elemental energy, causing the surrounding space to tremble strongly. The elemental energy in his 101 meridians began to flow, seemingly forming an elemental energy circulation ring. 93rd step, 94th step¡­ "Pui!" As Mo Wuji climbed the 95th step, he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. That strong force of expulsion almost hurled him out of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Still more than 10 steps, Mo Wuji wiped the traces of blood off the side of his lips, lifting his head to see the indiscernible Heaven Seeking Staircase peak. The pressure and the revolutionary force surged strongly; Mo Wuji''s bones started to crack with "kacha" sounds. The tenacity in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart also slowly got squeezed out. From the start till now, Mo Wuji had never taken the initiative to retreat, unless he truly could not stand the pressure. Now, even though his legs were trembling, and his bones and joints were cracking, he still pushed on. 96th step, 97th step¡­ Mo Wuji threw himself up to the 98th step. He knew, if he was willing, he could write his name down and leave. From then on, the number one wouldn''t be Gou Zihan but him - Mo Wuji. Inhaling a deep breath of air, Mo Wuji did not choose to give up; he felt that he was different from everybody else. When he was on the 98th step and was about to be swept out of the staircase, the 101 meridians in his body formed into a loop by themselves; an additional storage of elemental energy began supporting him. Ever since he opened his 100th and 101th meridians, these two elemental storage channels, this was Mo Wuji''s first time experiencing their effects. Normally, these two meridians would only help increase his pace of absorbing spiritual energy. But when his elemental energy was close to fully depleted, these two meridians finally showed their true abilities. Looking up again towards the indiscernible peak, Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly. Perhaps, with these two open meridians, he might receive a pleasant surprise. [1] The Extreme Mortal Stage and Extreme XXX Stages are supplementary to the three stages of a realm. If a person reaches Level 10 in all three stages in a realm, he would become enter the Extreme [Realm] Stage. But as long as he was still in that realm, he would also be Level 10 of that realm''s last stage (except Mo Wuji who''s special and is at Level 12). Chapter 235: Arduous Heaven Seeking Staircase Chapter 235: Arduous Heaven Seeking Staircase Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations On the Yan City Plaza, the competition had reached it¡¯s peak, and the atmosphere was electric. The crowd¡¯s loud cheers raised the level of excitement in the competitors, even causing them to perform a few levels better than normal. No one was willing to hold back in this fight for a chance to enter the Zhen Mo Continent. While Jiang Xiushan and Feng Zhengqiu intentionally left out the problem of the competition boundaries, but the battles on the ten stages were very self-regulating. No cultivators Yuan Dan Stage and above took the initiative to challenge Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators, and no True Lake Stage cultivators challenged the Yuan Dan Stage cultivators. This was not only a matter of pride, but it was also related to whether the person would be despised by Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s experts. After all, in front of such a large crowd, the act of challenging someone who was much weaker than yourself was very disgraceful. Booing was one thing, but this might even incite a riot. Perhaps a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator could take out a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator in seconds, but everything was not determined in a single match, and he might be taken out by a True Lake Stage cultivator in the next match. There were very few True Lake Stage cultivators below 50 years old, but it didn¡¯t mean that there were none. For example, Feng Luojian was at True Lake Stage Level 2 despite being less than 50 years old in age. Cen Shuyin stood on Stage Number 1, and she was very happy. She was at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9, and had easily defeated two people. With one more win, she would be able to advance to the next round. Even though her cultivation level was not the highest there, but her ravishing beauty made the cheers at Stage number 1 the loudest. "Hmm!" Xia Mu, which had not been paying much attention to the competition until now, turned to look at Stage Number 1. When he saw Cen Shuyin, his gazed became fixed on her to the extent that he did not even realise that he had slowly stood up. This woman was too beautiful, and even in Zhen Mo Continent, he had never seen a woman as beautiful as her. What made him even more satisfied was that, he felt that this woman was very open, and did not use a veil to cover her unworldly looks. Perhaps this woman¡¯s talent was nowhere close to Bei Suting¡¯s, so the help she could provide to him would not be as great as Bei Suting. But as the star lord of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Star King Mountain, was there anything wrong to have a gorgeous woman that he loved from the bottom of his heart? The red faced tall man at Xia Mu¡¯s side did not have to wait for Xia Mu to ask, and the moment Xia Mu stood up staring at Cen Shuyin, he reported, "That is the legacy disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Sword Lake, Cen Shuyin. Her talent is extremely good. Heaven Seeking Palace is considered the number one sect in Lost Continent, and there¡¯s a place called Heaven Seeking Staircase within in. I heard that she could reach the 54th step when she was at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7, and was at 50th place." "What¡¯s the Heaven Seeking Staircase?" Xia Mu furrowed his brows as he asked. The red faced man answered solemnly, "The Heaven Seeking Staircase is not an ordinary thing, and from my enquiries this past few days, this Heaven Seeking Staircase is clearly a real ancient treasure. As for its grade, even the elders of Heaven Seeking Palace are unsure of it. There hasn¡¯t been a single person that could reach the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. On it, the higher your cultivation level the greater the pressure, and the younger you are the lower the pressure. While special envoy Sir is advanced in cultivation, your age is much smaller than the geniuses here, hence I believe that you definitely will be able to reach the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase if you decide to climb it." Nodding his head, Xia Mu replied, "Good, after things end here, we¡¯ll go climb that Heaven Seeking Staircase." Quietly, the red faced man spoke again, "Actually even if you didn¡¯t ask about it, I would have suggested for you to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase once. The origins of the Heaven Seeking Staircase is very mysterious, and no one has been able to reach the top after so many years. Who knows, there might be a great opportunity waiting up there. Moreover, I¡¯ve heard that the higher one climbs, the more one understands about cultivation, and the more one will achieve in the future." "Not bad." This piqued Xia Mu¡¯s interest, and he followed up saying, "This matter of the Heaven Seeking Staircase is settled then. Once that woman called Cen Shuyin is done with her match, ask her to come over. I¡¯ll give her a surprise." "Yes Sir," The red faced man quickly responded. He knew what kind of surprise Xia Mu had in mind, and this was the type of surprise that only an arrogant woman like Bei Suting would turn down. If it were anyone else, it would be considered a pleasant surprise. ¡­ On the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Heaven Seeking Staircase, Mo Wuji mustered his elemental energy to intentionally form a circulation route with his 100th and 101th meridians as he stepped onto the 99th step. The instant his foot landed on the ground, a raging pressure and rotating force rushed at him, and the elemental energy within Mo Wuji¡¯s 100th and 101th meridians burst forth at the same time. The wild pressure and rotating force were defended against by Mo Wuji¡¯s explosive elemental energy, allowing him to step onto the 99th step with ease. The 100th, 101th, 102th step¡­ "Crack!" When Mo Wuji finally reached the 103th step, his legs finally broke. Even though his elemental storage meridian still provided the elemental energy, his body could not take it anymore. With a little dissatisfaction, he looked up. There were only five steps left; as long as he could climb another five steps, he would stand at the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Fighting against the terrifying pressure and force from the 103th step, Mo Wuji swallowed quite a few healing pills. At the same time, he started circulating his spiritual energy based on the Immortal Mortal Technique to speed up the rate of healing. As soon as the Immortal Mortal Technique took its effect, gusts of spiritual energy formed a whirlpool around him, and gushed into his body with a bang. At this moment, the impasse in cultivation that he had felt for the past few months was gone, and his cultivation level began to rise. Stubbornly, Mo Wuji clutched to the ground of the 103th step and wildly absorbed spiritual energy. While one stood on the Heaven Seeking Staircase, one would feel that the spiritual energy there was normal, but the moment that he began absorbing it with his cultivation technique, it seemed to be denser than that coming from Heaven grade spirit stones. No, this was completely different from the spiritual energy in a Heaven grade spirit stone. A Heaven grade spirit stone¡¯s spiritual energy was dense and pure, with a sliver of cultivation enhancing dao, but the spiritual energy here seemed like it was made for cultivation. Using the Immortal Mortal Technique in this sort of spiritual energy made him feel like a fish in water. If not for the increasingly terrifying pressure, Mo Wuji really felt like doing closed door cultivation here. But cultivating for a minute here meant suffering for what seemed like a century. Under the influence of his spiritual energy, his elemental energy gave out small popping noises. The cultivation level of Mo Wuji that had remained unchanging for a long time directly charged all the way up to the Great Circle of Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12. Mo Wuji forcibly suppressed the joy within him. By his estimates, he did not have to use the Gold Forming Pill, and with his current rate of progress, he would be able to breakthrough the Transcending Mortality Stage in one shot. However, he still threw three Gold Forming Pills into his mouth, because he was not confident in his ability to enter the Yuan Dan Stage with the increasing pressure and force on the 103th step. A strong wave of elemental energy gushed out of the three Gold Forming Pills, and it clashed with the spiritual energy from the surroundings before rushing into his 102th meridian. The originally blocked 102th meridian instantly burst open. An empty feeling immediately assaulted every corner of his body, and at this moment he felt like he was bathed in immortal energy, which made his whole body full of strength and in a state of extreme relaxation. A new stream of elemental energy entered the 102th meridian, and it formed a elemental energy circulation route with the 100th and 101th meridians. At the same time, the pressure on the Heaven Seeking Staircase was relieved, allowing him to stand up. His broken leg had recovered, and he stepped onto the 104th step with ease. 105th, 106th, 107th step¡­ The 107th step of Heaven Seeking Staircase had a pressure almost two times than the previous steps, and the elemental energy stored in Mo Wuji¡¯s three elemental storage meridians were exhausted once again. "Splat!" Mo Wuji collapsed on the 107th step. This time, he not only spat out a mouthful of vital blood, but many streaks of blood began to appear on his skin all over due to the immense pressure. There was only one step left, and he stood up wobbling, roaring out. Then with all the mental fortitude he could muster, he lifted his leg onto the 108th step. ¡­ On Stage Number 1 in Yan City, a white robed, long haired man landed in front of Cen Shuyin, "Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Tao Yuan is here to spar with Junior Cen, please make your move." Cen Shuyin frowned for a moment. Truthfully, she was quite unhappy that Heaven Seeking Palace was overtaken Great Evolution Sect on both contribution points boards. But it was a pity that as a legacy disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Sword Lake, she only had the strength of Transcending Mortality Stage, which made it very difficult to enter the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Contribution Points Board. It was important to note that killing a Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9 cultivator only gave 26 points, while killing a Yuan Dan Stage Level 1 cultivator gave up to 100 points. Therefore, being in the Earth Realm was a minimum requirement for one to enter the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board, as not everyone was as exceptional as Rogue Cultivator 2705. At this point, a Great Evolution Sect disciple came forth to challenge her, but she did not give him any mercy, and her long sword had turned into a flurry of sword qi that flew towards Tao Yuan. Wave after wave of sword qi formed on the stage, which made it look like there was a sea on Stage Number One. To most people, Tao Yuan would definitely back off when facing such waves of sword qi, and once he did so, Cen Shuyin would have the initiative. The already standing Xia Mu saw Cen Shuyin¡¯s sword waves, and exclaimed with even more joy, "Who knew that this woman¡¯s talent was so great, such sword waves are rare even amongst the sword cultivators of Zhen Mo Continent." However, what surprised everyone was that Tao Yuan did not back off, instead charging straight into the sword waves while circles of faintly glowing elemental energy appeared around his body. When the sword waves hit Tao Yuan¡¯s glowing elemental energy, countless instances of elemental energy explosions rang out before they disappeared in the air. It was apparent that the Tao Yuan¡¯s defensive elemental energy was a sort of skill. With a single clash, the experts in sword dao could feel it. If Cen Shuyin could not break through Tao Yuan¡¯s defensive elemental energy later, she would definitely lose to him. As other people could understand what was going on, Cen Shuyin herself naturally knew too. Her expression turned serious. This sort of defensive layer type of skill seemed to be made for countering certain sword arts. Unless her sword waves were much stronger than Tao Yuan¡¯s elemental energy layer, it would be difficult for her to break such a layer in one strike. "I¡¯m sorry Junior Cen, I can¡¯t give you the slot for entering Zhen Mo Continent." Tao Yuan¡¯s voice mixed with laughter spread to her ears. At the same time, a long whip was raised into the air. He had done this on purpose, otherwise, he could have avoided challenging Cen Shuyin completely. To that, Cen Shuyin laughed coldly, "Wait till you¡¯ve won before you start spouting bullsh*t." After speaking, her hands formed countless complex hand seals. Streams of elemental energy condensed in her palms, some even giving off a muffled crackling noise. Chapter 236: Step 108 Chapter 236: Step 108 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tao Yuan was experienced in battle, hence he could feel that something was up after hearing the crackling noises, which was why he sent the long whip in his hands flying at Cen Shuyin even faster than before. "Crack Crack Crack Crack!" Four continuous strokes of lightning bolts exploded around Tao Yuan, causing his elemental energy layer to disintegrate . "Bang!" Cen Shuyin¡¯s long sword blocked Tao Yuan¡¯s whip, and the sword shot another few swords of light at him. This was the advantage of a sword cultivator, being able to shoot out radiant swords at the enemy at any moment. Once his defensive skill was broken by Cen Shuyin, Tao Yuan wanted to retreat frantically. The radiant swords of Cen Shuyin were nothing to joke about, and as his figure backed away, the elemental energy on his whip dissipated. Many radiant swords cut into Tao Yuan¡¯s shoulders, and a moment later, a cold sword was already on his neck. Tao Yuan¡¯s face turned pale. He dared not make a single move in this situation. "Senior Cen, I admit defeat." With a flick of her hand, Cen Shuyin kept her sword, speaking coldly, "If it were not for your contributions in fighting the alien cultivators, my sword would have pierced your neck." "Thank you senior for being merciful," Tao Yuan¡¯s pale face immediately turned red, and he leapt off the stage after this sentence. He was of the same cultivation level as Cen Shuyin, so since he had lost to her, he naturally had to call her senior instead. A thunderous round of applause erupted below the stage, and the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Sword Lake was even more excited than before. While Heaven Seeking Palace had been trumped by Great Evolution Sect in ranking, Cen Shuyin and Tao Yuan had similar cultivation levels, and they represented each of their sects. Now that Cen Shuyin defeated Tao Yuan, it naturally helped Heaven Seeking Palace stand up for its name. Jiang Xiushan giggled, "This Sword Lake disciple actually knows a lightning attribute skill. This is likely from some opportunity she had. No wonder Tao Yuan was no match for her." How could Feng Zhengqiu not understand the meaning behind Jiang Xiushan¡¯s words? She implied that even though Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Cen Shuyin had triumphed over Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Tao Yuan, it was not won by some sword art from Heaven Seeking Palace, instead it was through a lightning affinity skill learnt elsewhere. Feng Zhengqiu also laughed, "Indeed, if Tao Yuan did not have that defensive skill, he would have likely been defeated by Shuyin¡¯s sword waves. That defensive skill is not bad. I heard that Tao Yuan had gone to the Lost Sky Ruins, who knows if he obtained it there." Upon hearing that, Jiang Xiushan¡¯s face went cold, but he could not muster the words to make a rebuttal, because the defensive skill of Tao Yuan indeed did not originate from Great Evolution Sect. Xia Mu simply laughed at the scene before him, "Neither of you are wrong. That¡¯s right, Elder Ceng, please bring Junior Cen over. I feel that her sword art and lightning strikes are extremely outstanding. A rarity in this competition." "Roger," The red faced tall man standing behind him answered, and turned around to give a few instructions before a black robed youth flew off to the distance. As Xia Mu did not lower his volume when speaking this time, the surrounding people had heard everything. Even the expressions of Feng Zhengqiu and Jiang Xiushan, who were originally arguing, had changed after hearing this. They were not exactly clear what kind of character Xia Mu had, but they knew that this was not a good cookie in front of them. ¡­ "Crack!" Wild pressure came rolling in, causing Mo Wuji¡¯s leg to break again. At the same moment, he stepped onto the 108th step. Suddenly, the terrifying pressure around him vanished, and was replaced by thick mist. Although Mo Wuji did not take any pills, he discovered that all the wounds on his body disappeared. Even the newly broken leg was healing rapidly. This is such a wonderful place. How good would it be if I could cultivate here? As the thought of cultivation came to mind, he recalled that he had opened his 102nd meridian on the 103rd step, but it did not propel him into Yuan Dan Stage. He still remained in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 12, and only advanced to the Great Circle of it. The only change that had happened was his 102nd meridian opening up. It was three Gold Forming Pills, so how could he not have broken through to the Earth Realm? A sense of disappointment arose in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, and he threw the idea of advancing to Yuan Dan Stage to one side. Now that he had opened the 102nd meridian, it would just take a period of closed door cultivation to break through to Yuan Dan Stage. There was no rush.. The 108th step of Heaven Seeking Staircase was a platform with a few meters in radius. A pure white stone slab was erected at the frontmost point of the platform. As soon as he carved his name on the stone slab, he would instantly become number 1 on the rankings. At the back of the platform, there was a small table with a token about the size of a palm on it. The token was made from an unknown material that Mo Wuji spiritual will could not penetrate, and when he walked over to pick it up, he discovered that there were words written on it, "I risked my life to obtain the Immortal Seeking Token, and the Heaven Seeking Staircase was picked up from the street by me¡­If anyone manages of obtain the Immortal Seeking Token from here, please avenge me. The man I have a grudge with is named Pang Zui...Never mind, since you could obtain the Immortal Seeking Token, you must be extremely talented, so please do something for the cultivators of Zhen Xing...Ji Feiqian." This doesn¡¯t make much sense, and Mo Wuji felt that it was rather nonsensical. The Heaven Seeking Staircase was actually picked up from the streets by Ji Feiqian. This sort of treasure could be picked off the streets? Then why couldn¡¯t Mo Wuji do the same? Could things get even more ridiculous? If Ji Feiqian was really that strong, to be able to find the Heaven Seeking Staircase and leave these things on it, who would have the ability to become his enemy? That Pang Zui must have been a little too exceptional right? As for Zhen Xing, where was it? Could it be another name for the Lost Continent? The last sentence asked him to do something for the Zhen Xing cultivators, but what thing was it referring to? There were many people in Zhen Xing that could eliminate him, so what could he do as a mere Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator? Shaking his head, Mo Wuji casually threw the Immortal Seeking Token into his storage ring. "Crack!" A crisp sound echoed out. To Mo Wuji¡¯s surprise, the table that was fine a moment ago had suddenly turned into a pile of ashes. So there was indeed something weird going on, and he looked up at his surroundings, puzzled as ever. Since he had achieved his goal, it was time to quickly leave the sect, then find Sang Yiping and co to return to Tian Ji Sect. This was not a place he intended to stay for long at. Mo Wuji turned around and sped down the Heaven Seeking Staircase. As for the white jade slab for carving one¡¯s name on, it was completely ignored by him. His aim for coming here was not to become famous, but simply to challenge the Heaven Seeking Staircase. In fact, he had gained quite a lot from the experience. While he did not manage to advance to Yuan Dan Stage, he still opened his 102nd meridian. Perhaps because he had reached the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, all pressure from it disappeared as he descended. In a mere few breath¡¯s time, Mo Wuji reached the bottom. The sky was already starting to brighten up then, and he rushed straight to the Sect Hall of Affairs. Other than a few disciples on duty in the Hall of Affairs, the place was quiet and serene, a great contrast from its previous noisy state. Mo Wuji walked straight to the outer disciple¡¯s administrative area, where only a single eyed old man sat at while reading a book. He walked over to knock on the window, took out his outer disciple identity token and said, "Apprentice brother, I would like to start the sect leaving process." "Ahh¡­" The one eyed man¡¯s book nearly fell to the floor as his hands trembled. He judged Mo Wuji suspiciously, and asked, "You just said that you want to start the sect leaving process?" Mo Wuji replied with a smile, handing his identity token over, "That¡¯s right, I really want to start the sect leaving process, do I need to produce anything else?" Although the one eyed old man was shocked, he still shook his head, "There¡¯s no need." It was difficult to enter Heaven Seeking Palace, but it was comparatively easy to leave. Only those legacy disciples who were extremely talented would require their summit lord to be informed when they were leaving the sect. Outer disciples only had to hand over their identity tokens. "Hey, your identity token still has 1,000 contribution points in it¡­" The one eyed old man exclaimed. Only then did Mo Wuji recall that these 1,000 contribution points belonged to Cen Shuyin. Now that he was leaving the sect, these 1,000 points were of no use to him. "May I ask if these contribution points can be transferred to someone else?" Mo Wuji quickly inquired. This was still 1,000 contribution points, so it would be a waste to just discard them. "Sure, you¡¯ll have to tell me which disciple in the sect and I¡¯ll transfer them." The one eyed old man remained patient. "Then help me to transfer them to Sword Lake¡¯s legacy disciple, Cen Shuyin," Since these 1,000 contribution points originally belonged to her, and he was only returning them to their owner. The one eyed old man shook his head and thought to himself, even if you transfer 10,000 contribution points to Cen Shuyin, she still won¡¯t know who you are. A moment later, the old man lifted up his head and spoke to Mo Wuji, "You¡¯ve left the sect already, so you need to get out of the sect immediately. If you are not out of the sect within six hours, you¡¯ll be hunted down the the sect executioners." "Thank you." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, turned around, and left without a shred of hesitation. It would not even take six hours, he couldn¡¯t wait to leave Heaven Seeking Palace. ¡­ "Special Envoy Xia? Why is he asking for me. I don¡¯t even know him," Cen Shuyin, who has just advanced to the next round, frowned at the black clothed youth before her. Out of all the people that came from Zhen Mo Continent, she could only remember the black haired, white bearded expert. As for Special Envoy Xia, she did recognise him as the purple robed youth that sat in the middle of the main altar, but what did that have to do with her? The black robed youth simply grinned, "I¡¯m not sure what business he has with you either, I¡¯m just a messenger. Perhaps Special Envoy Xia felt that you had potential, so he could possibly make an exception to let you enter Star King Mountain." Hearing this made Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes light up. She was extremely focused on cultivation, and after she joined Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Sword Lake, she devoted all of her energy into sword dao. In her eyes, there was nothing else but cultivation. For it, she didn¡¯t mind doing things that were beneath her. Otherwise, with her status, how could she have begged an outer disciple like Mo Wuji multiple times? The results proved that she was right. Lightning Flash not only allowed her to increase her number of contribution by a bunch, but also allowed her to defeat Tao Yuan. "I heard that Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivation culture is much stronger than the Lost Continent¡¯s, is that true?" Cen Shuyin could see that this black robed youth was also from Zhen Mo Continent. The black robed youth replied with pride, "You¡¯re right, for cultivators of a similar level, Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s trumps all those from here. For example, if I¡¯m in the Great Circle of Transcending Mortality Stage, I believe that there¡¯s no other Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator that can last for more than half an incense¡¯s time in battle with me." Chapter 237: I Have A Dao Companion Chapter 237: I Have A Dao Companion Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Cen Shuyin heard this, she started frowning before saying with a cold tone, "Since you are that strong, please show me some of your ways." As the crowd around the two of them heard their conversation, they started to make way and very soon, there was a huge space between the two of them. If the black robed youth didn¡¯t come from Zhen Mo Continent, he would have drown in his own saliva. To say that there was no cultivator in the entire Lost Continent with the same cultivation level as him capable of surviving for half an incense¡¯s time in battle with him, he was clearly too shameless to make this statement. The black robed youth replied in a calm tone, "I am only following the orders given to me, I will not fight you." Cen Shuyin kept her long sword and said similarly in a faint voice, "Since this is the case, please leave. I will not be leaving with you." The black robed youth was also very straightforward as he lifted his hand holding a spear, "Fine, then I, Gu Shaoyin, shall test Miss Cen¡¯s strength firsthand." Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t bother replying as the long sword in her hand shook a little before streams of overwhelming sword radiance flew towards Gu Shaoyin. Since the opponent was so arrogant, there was no reason for her to give any chance. It was different when she was fighting Tao Yuan because against this black robed youth, Cen Shuyin¡¯s sword radiance formed into sword rain and before the sword rain fell on the floor, it formed into a faint line. At this moment, the black robed youth shifted and just as his spear drew a small arc, streams of formless killing intent were emitted out from this small arc. "Bang bang bang!" The energy emitted from the spear clashed with Cen Shuyin¡¯s sword radiance and elemental energies exploded all over the sky just like a continuous string of exploding firecrackers. This exploding elemental energy was similar to needle radiance and even those cultivators who were standing closer to them could feel the threat hence, hurrying to step back. Cen Shuyin¡¯s heart sunk because no one other than herself was more aware of her current plight. Not only was her sword rain being suppressed, she could feel a force keeping her at bay. This feeling made her feel like if she were to execute another sword art, the opponent¡¯s spear would immediately tear her sword art apart and then pierced through her chest. This man was evidently many folds stronger than Tao Yuan and as Cen Shuyin was still using her elemental energy to agitate her sword rain, her Lightning Flash was starting to form. "Crack!" Just like a huge ice being fragmented, before Cen Shuyin¡¯s Lightning Flash could be sent out, her sword rain was torn apart and an icy cold spear with killing intent ended up right before her neck. This was similar to the situation when she was facing Tao Yuan but she was the one at the receiving end this time round. Cen Shuyi¡¯s heart was almost dead because even though she did not dare to say she¡¯s invincible, she did not believe that any Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator in the entire Five Great Empires would be able to win her with such ease. However, in front of this black robed youth, she merely managed to use one sword art before she was defeated. It could even be said that if the opponent did not wish to let her use the first sword art, she wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to strike. Was the level of cultivation in the Lost Continent really that far off Zhen Mo Continent? Cen Shuyin thought of the black robed white hair expert and confirmed her suspicion. The cultivators surrounding them who was rooting for Cen Shuyin turned silent as well. Cen Shuyin performed so tremendously well on stage earlier on to defeat the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s legacy disciple, Tao Yuan. However, she was completely helpless when faced with a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator from the Zhen Mo Continent. This made the heart of the many cultivators of the Five Big Empires around turned cold just like Cen Shuyin¡¯s one. The black robed youth retracted his spear as he stared at Cen Shuyin without saying anything. Even if many cultivators here did not like the black robed youth at all, they could only keep quiet in front of him. If one could not control his unhappiness and fought this man recklessly, even an early Yuan Dan Stage cultivator might not be able to finish this man off. As for a normal Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator, fighting him head on would definitely lead to instant death. Cen Shuyin only managed to keep her small life because of the special envoy therefore, other people would surely not be this fortunate. Cen Shuyin kept her long sword and said in a cold voice, "I will follow you to see Special Envoy Xia." Even though she did not promise to leave straightaway after losing, her tone indicated that intent. Ever since she started cultivating, Cen Shuyin had never went back on her words. Even if it was just spoken promise, she would acknowledge it unquestionably. The black robed youth nodded his head as his eyes revealed a slight appreciation because he hated hypocritical people the most. ¡­ "Junior Shuyin, please take a seat," After following the black robed youth to the main altar, Xia Mu, who was dressed in purple, stood up and pointed out to a chair to Cen Shuyin very politely. Cen Shuyin shook her head, "In front of special envoy and the many seniors here, Shuyin is fine standing up. If special envoy has any instructions, please feel free to let me know." Feng Zhenqiu, who was sitting by the side, nodded his head. Cen Shuyin was indeed the pride of Sword Lake as she was neither haughty nor humble with her own comfortable air of aura. Xia Mu laughed out loud as he did not continue to insist that Cen Shuyin take her seat. Inviting once was because of his generosity and politeness, there was still no one around worthy enough for him to invite twice to take a seat. "Junior Shuyin has an extraordinary sword art and even managed to cultivate lightning techniques. Could it be that junior Shuyin possesses lightning affinity spiritual roots?" Xia Mu asked directly. Cen Shuyin replied calmly, "This is my cultivation secret and even though my cultivation level is not worthy of a mention in the Zhen Mo Continent and definitely not comparable to this senior Gu, I hope special envoy will understand." Xia Mu seemed extremely generous as he waved his hand and said, "Its okay, its okay. I believe that junior Shuyin has a greater potential waiting to be unearth and it would be a waste of a talent to keep you here." Feng Zhenqiu hurried to add on, "Special envoy is right which was why Shuyin is fighting hard in this competition and after the first round, I believe that given her strength and qualification, it should not be a problem for her to advance into the top 100." Xia Mu nodded his head, "We could say so but I have an even better idea." Finishing his words, he smiled at Cen Shuyin before saying, "Junior Shuyin, even if you were to make it into the top 100, you would only be qualified to enter the Zhen Mo Continent and not directly into the Star King Mountain. I have an idea as well as capabilities to let you into the Star King Mountain directly." Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes lit up as she had heard of the Star King Mountain and was also aware that the black robed youth sitting opposite her was from the Star King Mountain. If she could enter the Star King Mountain, it would definitely be a dream come true for her. Seeing Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes lit up, Xia Mu smiled even more vibrantly, "My name is Xia Mu and I am the special envoy sent here from the Star King Mountain. I am indeed very confident of junior Shuyin¡¯s strength and potential and I am also confident in terms of my cultivation level, I would not let you think that I am not suitable for you¡­" The more Cen Shuyin thought about his words, the more she felt something was amiss. He said he saw his potential and invited her to enter the Star King Mountain but what has this got to do with his suitability? "My mentor once told me that in the world of cultivation, finding a good dao companion is very important because it could even change a cultivator¡¯s cultivation path. If I am interested in someone to be my dao companion, I will tell her directly because I don¡¯t like to hide the head and show the tail [1] or be hesitant. If junior Shuyin is agreeable, I am willing to become your dao companion. We could roam across the Star King Mountain and even contribute some statements together for the Star King Mountain book¡­" Xia Mu continued to smile at Cen Shuyin. Cen Shuyin finally understood what was going on and she couldn¡¯t believe how thick this person¡¯s skin was to ask her to be his dao companion in front of so many people. Seeing Xia Mu¡¯s incredibly confident eyes, Cen Shuyin realised why Xia Mu would be so daring to ask directly in front of so many people. This was because he was sure that Cen Shuyin would definitely agree so she could head towards the Star King Mountain. Cen Shuyin almost blurt out and told this special envoy how she truly felt; that she had never considered finding a dao companion. However, she swallowed these words back because she was sure that if she would to say such words, it would fit perfectly into his plan. As long as he said that they don¡¯t have to consider this dao companion thing for now and just settle on their current relationship now before heading towards and working hard at the Star King Mountain together, she would have no excuses to reject him anymore. "Many thanks special envoy but I already have my dao companion so I cannot accept special envoy¡¯s request," Cen Shuyin cupped her fist as she bowed slightly. Hearing Cen Shuyin¡¯s words, Feng Zhenqiu was almost going to clap his hands. Well said. Xia Mu frowned slightly but still maintained his smile as he responded, "When we¡¯re talking about dao companion, it is a companion to strive hard together for one¡¯s cultivation dao. Junior Shuyin should have seen the vast difference in cultivation level and knowledge between the Lost Continent and Zhen Mo Continent. Without mentioning any other examples, just your fight with Shaoying¡­" Up to this moment, Defender Xu could not help it but interrupted, "Special Envoy Xia, please don¡¯t use mortal ranking number one Gu Shaoying as an example to show the difference in cultivation level. This would cause misunderstandings among the Lost Continent cultivators and cause them to think that their cultivation ways were just too poor. The truth was that even though the cultivation level and culture here was not as good as Zhen Mo Continent, the difference was actually not that huge." Xia Mu seemed as though he ate a pile of sh*t as the words coming out from his mouth were incredibly smelly. He couldn¡¯t wait to strangle this Defender Xu because it seemed as though he was out to oppose him. Everytime he tried to show his might, this old fella would stand out to kick him in the leg. If he could stay in the Star King Mountain one day, the first person he would get rid of would be this old fella. "Defender Xu¡¯s lecture is right," Even though he was incredibly unhappy, Xia Mu could only thank Defender Xu for his lecture. He wanted to stay in the Star King Mountain to garner the support of the Immortal King and increased his chances of winning. "Senior, did you say that senior Gu was ranked first in Zhen Mo Continent?" Cen Shuyin eyes lit up once again as she immediately bowed and asked Defender Xu. Xu Chihuang smiled as he said, "That¡¯s right. Zhen Mo Continent has three big ranking board: Mortal ranking board, Earth ranking board and Heaven ranking board. Gu Shaoying is in the Great Circle of the Transcending Mortality Stage Level 10 and is considered to be in the Extreme Mortal Stage since a long time ago. His trip out this time round is to find opportunity to step into the Earth Realm. There was no one in Zhen Mo Continent who could beat him so even if you couldn¡¯t win him, you don¡¯t have to self-deprecate. Your sword art is decent and that lightning technique had an even greater potential to become better," "Many thanks senior for your teachings," The knot in Cen Shuyin¡¯s heart instantaneously disappeared because she may be strong but definitely not to the extent that she could defeat Zhen Mo Continent Mortal ranking board ranked number 1. At this moment, she finally understood why Xia Mu would ask Gu Shaoying to invite her over. This was to attack her confidence and make her think that Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s standard of cultivation was really much stronger so as to attract her over to Zhen Mo Continent. That¡¯s right, she was indeed interested in heading towards the Zhen Mo Continent but undoubtedly not through means like becoming someone¡¯s dao companion so that she could go over. "Junior Shuyin, since you already have a dao companion, I shall not say anything else. I am actually curious to know which genius disciple would be able to win junior Shuyin¡¯s favour?" Xia Mu laughed coldly as his heart had already formed a killing intent not towards Cen Shuyin but towards her dao companion. [1]: Hiding the head and showing the tail is a chinese idiom which means to give a partial account of something; half the truth. Chapter 238: Cen Shuyins Dilemma Chapter 238: Cen Shuyin''s Dilemma Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Cen Shuyin jolted; she did not expect this Special Envoy Xia to ask her who her dao companion was. This was her private matter, who was he to ask such a question? "If you''re unwilling to answer, I would think that your words were just to stall me. Don''t tell me that my appearance is too bad and not worth Junior Shuyin''s eyes?" The smile on Xia Mu''s face disappeared and his tone also turned cold. Rage slowly brewed within his heart, he had never received such a treatment before. He was a proud child of the Star King Mountain and was an existence respected by all on Zhen Mo Continent. Lost Continent, this sort of trashy place, actually rejected him two times in a row. Unless they thought that this special envoy was a herbivore who didn''t dare to kill? Cen Shuyin did not stand far from him, and could naturally feel Xia Mu''s rich killing intent. She was forlorn. Ever since she entered the Heaven Seeking Palace and became the Sword Lake Master, Shen Kongjian¡¯s disciple, no one dared to covet for her looks. It was also because of this, that she was an outstanding existence, not only in the Heaven Seeking Palace, but in the entire Five Great Empires. But now, Special Envoy Xia was clearly threatening her, but there was nothing she could do. Cen Shuyin''s despondence was because of her lamentation towards her change in fate. At the same time, she was lamenting the disappearance of her Master Shen Kongjian in the alien battlefield. "Ha ha¡­" Feng Zhenqiu chuckled, clasped his fists and said, "Special Envoy Xia, don''t be hasty to get angry. I understand this child, Shuyin. Her skin is thin [1], and if not for Special Envoy Xia¡¯s question, she would not even mention the matter of her dao companion. Indeed, not many people know about her dao companion, and I happen to be one of them." Cen Shuyin stared at Feng Zhenqiu in astonishment; she did not have a dao companion, those words were only meant to fool Xia Mu. Before Xia Mu could speak, Feng Zhenqiu continued, "Actually, Special Envoy Xia also knows this person''s name." "I know? Who?" Xia Mu was stunned as he turned towards Feng Zhenqiu. In actuality, when Cen Shuyin did not reveal the name of her dao companion, he suspected that Cen Shuyin was merely trying to stall him. But now, Feng Zhenqiu proactively stood forward to talk about Cen Shuyin''s dao companion, so he was naturally shocked. "He is a rogue cultivator, his alias is Rogue Cultivator 2705. He is extremely secretive in his movement and actions and even Cen Shuyin wouldn''t know where her dao companion is." Feng Zhenqiu chuckled. Rogue Cultivator 2705 only revealed himself once and disappeared without a trace. The Heaven Seeking Palace and Great Evolution Sect had tried searching for the said man, but had never been able to find him. Using Rogue Cultivator 2705 was the most suitable method to stall Xia Mu. The Heaven Seeking Palace and Great Evolution Sect were, after all, the two strongest sects on the Lost Continent. Even they weren''t able to determine Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s whereabouts, so Feng Zhenqiu believed that this Xia Mu would definitely be unable to do so. Cen Shuyin''s heart sunk, and she was not the least bit happy. Even though she was thankful for Feng Zhenqiu''s help, she was not willing to drag another down. She had not even met this Rogue Cultivator 2705 before. If it was possible, she would rather Dean Feng to not have uttered those words. Because the moment Xia Mu finds Rogue Cultivator 2705, he definitely would not live past an incense''s time. She was also clear of Feng Zhenqiu''s intentions; he believed that Xia Mu definitely wouldn''t be able to find this Rogue Cultivator 2705. But who could be definite of such things? This caused Cen Shuyin''s heart to be filled with guilt and discomfort. She had always cultivated with a pure heart, but while Feng Zhenqiu''s words saved her, they also left a scar on her heart. If Rogue Cultivator 2705 was really killed because of her, her lifetime''s pursuit of the greater dao would be ruined. Even if he turned out fine, this scar would still affect this pursuit. Her personality did not allow such a thing, and her dao could not take such guilt. It was because of this dao heart that when she exchanged a skill from an outer disciple, she would try her best to offer what she could. Dean Feng had said such words but she could not refute them. If she refuted them, Xia Mu could very well eliminate Dean Feng. If she could turn back time, she would rather say that she did not want a dao companion. Saying that she already had one would only implicate others. Xia Mu furrowed his brows and thought for awhile. He suddenly said, "I recall it now, isn''t he number one on the Hundred Sect Alliance''s Contribution Point Board?" Feng Zhenqiu hurriedly said, "That''s it. Even though his talents are exceptional, he does not like to be reined in by a sect. That''s why he chose to be a rogue cultivator. With his sort of talent, many big sects don''t catch his eye. His standards for women are naturally higher as well." Feng Zhenqiu was trying to imply that Rogue Cultivator 2705 and the gorgeous Cen Shuyin were a compatible match. Xia Mu regained his calm, looked towards Cen Shuyin and said, "You go and find that Rogue Cultivator 2705. This sort of talent would go to waste on this continent." Cen Shuyin went silent without a word. She couldn''t explain that Feng Zhenqiu''s words were wrong, nor could she acknowledge that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was her dao companion. "Shuyin, you can go down first. If you can contact him, then help extend the special envoy''s invitation. But of course, going to the Zhen Mo Continent is entirely up to him." Feng Zhenqiu hurriedly interjected for Cen Shuyin to leave. If this carried on, this Xia Mu might get enraged and start a slaughter. Cen Shuyin bowed towards Feng Zhenqiu and was just about to leave when Defender Xu suddenly asked, "What''s the cultivation level of this Rogue Cultivator 2705?" Cen Shuyin stopped in her tracks; she did not even know Rogue Cultivator 2705, how would she know his cultivation level? She did hear that he was in the Transcending Mortality Stage but she did not believe those rumours. Even if a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator was super lucky, he still wouldn''t be able to get to the number one spot. Great Evolution Sect Head, Jiang Xiushan, helped her out of the tangle, "Answering Defender Xu, it''s rumoured that Rogue Cultivator 2705 is in the Transcending Mortality Stage. He is a pale faced scholar without a high cultivation but his true power is amazing. According to the accounts of a Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda''s True Lake cultivator, during the initial wars with the alien cultivators, he was surrounded by more than hundred alien cultivators but he completely annihilated all of them. Not only that, he even that True Lake cultivator''s life and killed an expert half a step into the Nihility God Stage. Among the hundred over cultivators which surrounded him, there were even some Yuan Dan Stage, Earth Realm cultivators." It was just a casual question but the answer made Defender Xu stand up in shock, as he as asked in a higher pitch, "He''s so amazing? Are these just rumors?" Jiang Xiushan also hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and said, "These aren''t rumors. Many people have heard him acknowledge it and that was also when he killed a clan member of my Great Evolution Sect''s legacy disciple. Of course, when he killed that Nihility God Stage expert, the expert was already seriously injured." Defender Xu nodded, "Even so, that''s something very amazing. If we find the person at hand, we must definitely bring him to the Zhen Mo Continent. This sort of talent is needed in the Star King Mountain." Special Envoy Xia hastily added, "Defender Xu can be rest assured. I will definitely find Rogue Cultivator 2705 and not let his talent go to waste." Standing far away, Gu Shaoyin revealed a derisive smile. Even if he was surrounded by hundred over cultivators, with a few Yuan Dan cultivators in the mix, be wouldn''t be able to kill them all. How would this Rogue Cultivator 2705 be able to do it? The Lost Continent must have specially created this Rogue Cultivator 2705 in this war against the alien cultivators to raise everyone''s morale. Why didn''t this Rogue Cultivator 2705 dare to meet others? Because he was just a person of fiction. Cen Shuyin''s heart was filled with contempt. Defender Xu should be looking for Rogue Cultivator 2705 out of pure appreciation but this Special Envoy Xia must definitely be due to unkind intentions. "Seniors, Shuyin will take her leave." After clasping her hands once more, Cen Shuyin left the main altar. She decided, she would immediately return to the Heaven Seeking Palace Sword Lake and enter closed door cultivation. So what if she couldn''t go to the Zhen Mo Continent? Her master was able to cultivate to the True God Stage on the Lost Continent. She could definitely do the same. ... After an incense''s time, that red faced man whispered beside Xia Mu''s ear, "Cen Shuyin has left Yan City alone. I guess that she must have gone to find that Rogue Cultivator 2705." Back at the selection, Stage Number 5 had two Yuan Dan Stage cultivators whose battle had captured everyone''s eyes. Xia Mu''s eyes remained on Stage Number 5 as he said simply, "Follow her and do it." That red faced man did not reply and stood behind Xia Mu for some time. Then, he left as though nothing had happened. "Why are you following too?" The moment he left Yan City, the red faced man noticed that Gu Shaoyin was following him. "Elder Ceng, I want to see whether that Rogue Cultivator 2705 is truly that amazing or simply sheer fiction," Gu Shaoyin said with a bow. The red faced man laughed, "That''s okay, then follow me." Some things were hard for him to do. Fortunately, there was this fool who only knew about cultivation to do it for him. He was too clear about Gu Shaoyin, Gu Shaoyin was a fella who only had cultivation and the pursuit for strength in his heart. After hearing about Rogue Cultivator 2705, his interest must have been piqued. If he didn''t have a look personally, he would be uncomfortable. If he wasn''t such a person, he wouldn''t have followed them over from the Zhen Mo Continent to the Lost Continent. ¡­ Due to the long war, the bustle of the Heaven Seeking City had gradually declined. Even though the war had ended, the Heaven Seeking City had yet to regain its previous flourishing crowds. The moment Mo Wuji walked into Heaven Seeking City, he was welcomed by the cold and spacious streets. "Head senior brother¡­" As Mo Wuji reached the Immortal Training Inn, he saw Pu Qian who was wandering around the entrance. When Pu Qian called out to him, his voice seemed to contain some anxiety. "This is not a good place to talk. Let''s go in first." Mo Wuji indicated to Pu Qian and they walked into the inn. In the spacious room, Sang Yiping, Zhuang Yan and Nie Zhengnong were all there. From their expressions, Mo Wuji could guess that something just have happened. The few saw that Mo Wuji had returned and they heaved a sigh of relief as they stood to greet him. [1] The opposite of thick skin. Chapter 239: Mo Wujis Rage Chapter 239: Mo Wuji''s Rage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Pu Qian closed the room door, Mo Wuji gestured for everyone to sit down, then he asked, "Exactly what''s going on? Why are y''all all so relieved when you saw me?" Sang Yiping was the first to answer, "Head senior brother, we followed your instructions to secretly investigate about the Nine Moons Pill House." "There''s no news?" Mo Wuji asked urgently. After separating with Zhen Shaoke and co., Mo Wuji had always been working hard for his cultivation. He was either opening his meridians or out searching for a spiritual herb to open his meridians. When he had finally settled down, the aliens invaded. It was because of this that he only asked around the Heaven Seeking City twice and he did not receive any news on Nine Moons Pill House during those times. Mo Wuji even intended to go Fringe City and have a look but he met with this Tian Ji Sect situation. Sang Yiping nodded, "Three months ago, a deacon called Fei Bingzhu came over to Heaven Seeking City and even purchased a store at a high price. This deacon really knew how to pick the right time. Because of the ongoing war with the alien cultivators, and since the Heaven Seeking Palace isn''t very far from Yan City, many merchants left the Heaven Seeking City for Yan City. The price of stores in Heaven Seeking City became cheaper and he was able to procure a not bad store." "Where''s the store?" Mo Wuji was ecstatic to receive news on Fei Bingzhu and he eagerly asked another question. Sang Yiping sighed in her heart: Head senior brother really doesn''t have a simple relationship with the Nine Moons Pill House. She continued, "The Nine Moons Pill House had just finished its furnishing and had yet to officially open but it was destroyed in a single night. That Deacon Fei was killed, and treasurer, Sun Jingyi, was also killed." Mo Wuji''s heart went cold, his fists went tight and his heart pounded erratically. Fei Bingzhu had been there when he was still poor, Fei Bingzhu was there during his calamities. But he was actually killed in the Heaven Seeking City. "Who did it, did you manage to find out?" Mo Wuji asked slowly, he swore to avenge this vengeance. Pu Qian took over, "Yes, it''s the Yu Lin Lei Clan. That''s why I made sure that Junior Sang and the rest stayed here and not go out." The Yu Lin Lei Clan again, Mo Wuji cursed in his heart. It was no wonder why Sang Yiping and co. were so anxious. If he was discovered, the Yu Lin Lei Clan definitely wouldn''t let go of him. He could guess how the Yu Lin Lei Clan was able to find him. Hou Yucheng was able to find out that he was the one who purchased the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style through the auction; the Yu Lin Lei Clan was naturally able to do the same. Moreover, he was just an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. Because the Yu Lin Lei Clan had a genius disciple, Lei Hongji, in the Great Evolution Sect, they even dared to pursue and encircle an inner disciple, Hou Yucheng. Why would they be scared of a mere outer disciple? The moment they found out about him then the next step was to investigate on the Nine Moons Pill House. Moreover, they might even link his saving of Hou Yucheng in Yan City to him start to suspect that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. If the Yu Lin Lei Clan really guessed that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705, they definitely wouldn''t casually reveal it. After all, they still wanted to extract Tian Ji Sect''s secret from him. "Have the Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s men left?" In short time, Mo Wuji had already discerned the reason. "After the Nine Moons Pill House was destroyed, the Lei Clan occupied their store. I¡¯ve gone to take a look; it''s already been refurbished and will soon be ready for business," Pu Qian answered. Very good, Mo Wuji nodded. He must definitely annihilate the Yu Lin Lei Clan before rebuilding the Tian Ji Sect. When he didn''t have the cannons, his power was truly insufficient. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he couldn''t. But now that he had the power, he definitely wouldn''t delay any longer. If he did so, the original Nine Moons Pill House might get affected and even Zhen Shaoke might lose his life. The Yu Lin Lei Clan still had Lei Hongji, a favoured child of the Great Evolution Sect. It wasn''t something difficult for them to deal with the Nine Moons Pill House. "Yiping, are there any cultivator cities near Tian Ji Sect?" Mo Wuji did not continue inquiring about the Lei Clan, but turned to ask Sang Yiping about the Tian Ji Sect. Sang Yiping hurriedly replied, "There was a little town outside the Tian Ji Sect called Heaven''s Gate Town. With the protection of the Tian Ji Sect, this town wasn''t bustling but there were merchants. Now that the Tian Ji Sect has been destroyed, this town should be deserted." The speaking Sang Yiping was incomparably mellow. For Tian Ji Sect to develop, there must be cultivator cites in its surroundings. Only after countless years of Tian Ji Sect''s existence, the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town finally got developed. But now that the Tian Ji Sect had been destroyed, and the large number of horse bandits in the surrounding, it would be a miracle if the Heaven''s Gate Town survived. Mo Wuji said seriously, "Pu Qian, immediately refine this flying car. After you refine it, bring Yiping, Zhuang Yan and Nie Zhengnong out of here and wait for me at Heaven''s Gate Town." With that, Mo Wuji retrieved a flying car magic treasure and passed it to Pu Qian. "Head senior brother, you¡­" Sang Yiping immediately understood Mo Wuji''s intentions. He wanted to stay here by himself and wait for a chance to destroy the Yu Lin Lei Clan''s store in Heaven Seeking City. "Head senior brother, the alien war is already over. The times are already different from three months ago. The Heaven Seeking City is near the Heaven Seeking Palace, and if a store gets destroyed, things might get blown up." Nie Zhengnong seldom talked, but he was more detailed in his considerations. Pu Qian was more clear of Mo Wuji''s personality, he knew that when Mo Wuji made his decision, he would definitely do it. He took the initiative to say, "If that''s the case, we¡¯ll stay behind together to finish this. We''ll leave immediately when we''re done." Mo Wuji waved it off, "This is my personal matter, it has nothing to do with the sect. Moreover, it would be more convenient for me to do things by myself. Committing such a deed in the Heaven Seeking City, the less involved the better." What Mo Wuji wanted to do wasn''t simply destroying the Yu Lin Lei Clan members which occupied the Nine Moons Pill House''s store in the Heaven Seeking City. After he did that, he would still go to the Yu Lin Lei Clan itself and wipe it off the face of the Lost Continent. This matter really triggered his killing intent. Pu Qian and co. saw Mo Wuji''s resolution and did not say anything further. With the assistance of Mo Wuji''s spiritual will, Pu Qian was able to refine the flying car in two hours. The five immediately checked out of the inn and left Heaven Seeking City. Another two hours later two hours, the five arrived at the outskirts of Heaven Seeking City. Pu Qian fetched out his flying car. As he gestured for Sang Yiping and co. to board the car, he asked Mo Wuji, "If the two Tian Shang princes who rented the mountains come looking for trouble, what do we do?" "Kill them." Mo Wuji said unhesitatingly. He wanted the Tian Ji Sect to be a great sect, how could it be afraid of a mere Ming Han Empire? He did not believe that the Ming Han Empire would come cause trouble for his Tian Ji Sect because of two princes. Mo Wuji''s words made it clear to Sang Yiping and co. The previous tolerant Tian Ji Sect was now no more. "If there are any survivors of the Tian Ji Sect, remember to bring them back." After Pu Qian and co. entered the car, Mo Wuji added another instruction. He believed that after the Yu Lin Lei Clan destroyed the Tian Ji Sect, they wouldn''t assign guards to stay over the Tian Ji Sect. Waiting for Pu Qian¡¯s flying car to leave, Mo Wuji changed his appearance to the pale faced Rogue Cultivator 2705 and re-entered Heaven Seeking City. This time, he entered a small inn and stayed there for three whole days. There were reasons why Mo Wuji waited for three days. One, Mo Wuji was waiting for Pu Qian and co. to get far away. Two, he wanted to find a path of retreat. Three, he wanted to recce the strength of this Lei Clan store. It was as Mo Wuji expected. The Yu Lin Lei Clan only assigned two Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators as the defenders and the rest were some Spirit Building and Channel Opening cultivators. Three days later, Mo Wuji checked out from the inn and openly walked to the Lei Clan¡¯s store. "Apologies friend, our store has yet to be opened." A Channel Opening Stage cultivator stopped Mo Wuji. "Are you a Lei Clan disciple?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. This cultivator¡¯s chest inflated and he said proudly, "That¡¯s right. Our Lei Clan Merchant House are all Lei Clan disciples. So friend, you can rest assure that nothing bad will happen. But I will still have to invite you to leave and return when we''re open." "Get out of here!" Mo Wuji raised his hand and slapped over. This Lei Clan disciple was sent flying far by the slap and crashed against the store¡¯s wall. He slid down on the ground, paralysed, never to breathe again. Mo Wuji inhaled deeply, he did not like doing such things. This attendant might not have killed the Nine Moons Pill House¡¯s or Tian Ji Sect''s man. But because Mo Wuji came into this world and walked this particular road, he had to do it. "Who dares cause trouble at my Lei Clan?" Multiple shadows charged out of the store and surrounded Mo Wuji. "Rogue Cultivator 2705. The person you''re looking for, and the person who''s here to seek revenge." With that, Invisible Sword Qi appeared in Mo Wuji''s hand which transformed into a sword net, trapping all the cultivators. Mo Wuji did not come today just for Fei Bingzhu, but also for the Tian Ji Seft and that Tian Ji Sect Head who died because of him. The person with the highest cultivation here was merely in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 3. He was completely nothing in front of Mo Wuji. Fogs of blood formed continuously. Within ten minutes, seven to eight Lei Clan disciples turned into wandering ghosts under his sword. One hour later, Mo Wuji left the Heaven Seeking City in constant high alert. The destroyed Lei Clan store was just an appetizer. Now, he was going to destroy the entire Yu Lin Lei Clan. ¡­ Cen Shuyin did not know that we was being followed as she left Yan City. She was controlling a crudely made flying ship which was speeding towards Heaven Seeking Palace. She exchanged her flying car for Mo Wuji''s Lightning Flash and she had obtained this flying ship from there alien battlefield. Even though this flying ship was a little ugly, it was a little faster than her flying car. Yan City was closer to the Heaven Seeking Palace than An Yang. In a few days, Cen Shuyin had arrived outside of the Heaven Seeking City. It was at this moment, she saw the Mo Wuji leaving Heaven Seeking City. "Rogue Cultivator 2705?" Cen Shuyin had never seen Rogue Cultivator 2705 but she had heard too much about it. In Yan City, who didn''t know what Rogue Cultivator 2705 looked like? He was a pale faced scholar, and there were even portraits of 2705 being sold everywhere. Who else could that pale faced scholar be if not Rogue Cultivator 2705? Cen Shuyin was filled with pleasant surprise. Regardless, she had to inform Rogue Cultivator 2705 of the matter. Chapter 240: His Hardship Chapter 240: His Hardship Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji''s flying ship was much faster than Cen Shuyin''s, but due to Cen Shuyin''s relentless pursuit, Mo Wuji was discovered her soon after he left the Heaven Seeking City. Initially, Mo Wuji even thought that he was being chased by some Lei Clan dogs and he was intending to retrieve a laser cannon and send a shot over. However, he soon discerned that the flying ship was controlled by Cen Shuyin; she was standing conspicuously at the stern of the ship. This left Mo Wuji curious; he didn''t know what business Cen Shuyin had with him.He did not think that Cen Shuyin would know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2795. Even though she had applied for a contribution point token together with him, their interaction was merely during the application. At the very most, she helped make the application process easier. She definitely didn''t see what was written on his token, much less know that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. Unless Cen Shuyin was like him and possessed strong spiritual will. It was even more impossible for Cen Shuyin to recognise him as Mo Wuji. The disguising mask which Ren Tianxing gave him was quite good. Cen Shuyin shouldn''t be able to see through it with her level of cultivation. Since these two cases were impossible, then why was she looking for him? An hour later, Mo Wuji saw that Cen Shuyin had not stopped in her pursuit so he directly landed his flying ship by a forest. Cen Shuyin''s flying ship landed not far away. She kept her flying ship and walked in front of Mo Wuji, "May I ask if you''re Rogue Cultivator 2705?" Mo Wuji replied with a slightly hoarse voice, "That''s right, I''m Rogue Cultivator 2705. May I know why you''re looking for me?" Cen Shuyin''s eye revealed a hint of pleasant surprise as she said eagerly, "I''m the Heaven Seeking Palace Sword Lake''s Cen Shuyin. Because¡­" "Because we want to know if the rumors were true." A voice suddenly interrupted Cen Shuyin''s words. "Gu Shaoyin?" Cen Shuyin turned to see a black robed youth, and her face changed drastically. She had been followed and she didn''t even know. Gu Shaoyin nodded towards Cen Shuyin, "That''s right. Now move to the side and let me take over." Mo Wuji looked at Cen Shuyin then at Gu Shaoyin and frowned. He did not think that Cen Shuyin called him over so that she could join forces with Gu Shaoyin to deal with him. But it was the truth that when Cen Shuyin got him to stop, the black robed fella also came over. However, Mo Wuji remained fearless. This black robed youth was also in the Extreme Mortal Stage. In a single glance, Mo Wuji could see the spirit ring revolving around his body. However, when compared to him, this fella''s spirit ring wasn''t worth mentioning. Not only was it weak, it also looked unclear. However, he wasn''t sure whether this Gu Shaoyin could see the Extreme Mortal Stage spirit ring hidden within his body. Gu Shaoyin clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Star King Mountain''s Gu Shaoyin. You are the Rogue Cultivator 2705 whose reputation reverberates throughout the whole Lost Continent?" Gu Shaoyin¡¯s heart was filled with wonder; he could feel that Mo Wuji''s body did not emanate any spirituality and didn''t look anything like a strong cultivator. He was even less able to tell that Mo Wuji was in a higher leveled Extreme Mortal Stage. Thus, he did not believe that this pale faced scholar in front of him was the famous Rogue Cultivator 2705. This caused his heart to be filled with dissatisfaction. Back at Zhen Mo Continent, he, Gu Shaoyin, challenged countless of experts, emerging as number one on the Mortal Board, an existence above the clouds. Wherever he went, he was revered. But when compared to Rogue Cultivator 2705 in the Lost Continent, his reputation was not worth mentioning. In the Lost Continent, even an ordinary mortal knew who Rogue Cultivator 2705 was. "That''s right, I''m Rogue Cultivator 2705. Why are you finding me?" Mo Wuji started calmly at Gu Shaoyin. Gu Shaoyin''s cultivation was also in the Transcending Mortality Stage but Mo Wuji could feel that this fella was very strong. He did hear some things about the Star King Mountain back in Yan City, but they didn''t really leave a deep impression on him. "Since that''s the case, then accept my punch. Let me see whether you deserve to be Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­" As he spoke, Gu Shaoyin had already sent a punch towards Mo Wuji. Towards this ordinary looking scholar, he harboured no interest in taking out his spear. Mo Wuji did not move; at where he stood, he punched out. He really did not out other cultivators in the same stage in his eyes. His spiritual will had already started scanning the surroundings for fear that there weren''t just Cen Shuyin and Gu Shaoyin here. "Bang!" The two fists had not even clashed when the raging elemental energy exploded in the air. The elemental energy compressed the air, causing tearing sounds to be heard. The sounds were extremely terrifying. "Bam!" The two fists finally met. At the center of the two, a fracture appeared on the earth and soil flew everywhere. Mo Wuji felt a strong rebound of elemental energy, and with a "Kacha" sound, Mo Wuji knew that one of the bones in his fists had broke. Moreover, the other party¡¯s surging elemental energy seemed to be vast and limitless. This fist did not seem to stop unless it had knocked Mo Wuji to the ground. Mo Wuji''s heart trembled. He had never met such a terrifying Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator. He was sure that Gu Shaoyin had yet to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. From his conversation with Gu Shaoyin to now, his fighting spirit was finally ignited. It didn''t matter what realm this fella was in, he deserved Mo Wuji''s full effort. The elemental energy in his elemental storage channels rushed towards Mo Wuji''s fist. This intense elemental energy was like throwing an entire river of water into a bucket, inundating and forceful. Towards others, Mo Wuji would slowly release this threshing elemental energy. But towards an expert like Gu Shaoyin, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to hurl out this flood of elemental energy. "Crack crack¡­" Gu Shaoyin''s fist bones broke consecutively. At the next moment, the surging elemental energy sent Mo Wuji flying. Mo Wuji stood rooted to the ground and did not move. Due to the strong explosion of elemental energy, even Cen Shuyin who was standing far away had to retreat by tens of meters. "Peng!" Gu Shaoyin landed on the ground; as he got pushed along, his two feet carved out two long, deep lines on the hard ground, stabilising his body. He stared at Mo Wuji. The disdain in his eyes had changed to seriousness and respect. After some time, he slowly took out his spear, "You''re very strong. I take back what I thought previously. You are the only Transcending Mortality cultivator that is worth my utmost effort." Mo Wuji opened his hand and the Tian Ji Pole appeared within his palm. A fella who willingly retracted his opinions was rather interesting; Mo Wuji decided this spare this fella''s life. Cen Shuyin stared aghast towards Mo Wuji and Gu Shaoyin, these two were Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators? Why was it that when she saw Yuan Dan Stage cultivators battle, it wasn''t as impressive as it was now? Only now did she know that during her battle with Gu Shaoyin, he only exhibited 50% of his abilities at the most. The Gu Shaoyin now, was truly exhibiting his true power. Cen Shuyin took in a deep breath. Gu Shaoyin''s power was already strong enough to leave her breathless. But this Rogue Cultivator 2705 did not even move as he sent Gu Shaoyin flying with a single fist. This sort of strength was enough to completely stop her breath. If anyone said that Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s contribution points were due to luck, she definitely wouldn''t be bothered to care about it. This power was based on luck? Actually deep in her heart, she didn''t believe the Dao Gate''s Xue Tongsi words previously. A Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator was surrounded by hundred over cultivators and there were even some Yuan Dan Stage cultivators in the mix. But this cultivator actually annihilated all of them and then carried on to help Senior Shi Jinwen to kill a half step Nihility God. From whatever perspective, this sounded like bullsh*t. But now, Cen Shuyin believed that it wasn''t nonsense. If that Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator had the power of Rogue Cultivator 2705, then it was definitely possible. "Chi chi¡­" Gu Shaoyin¡¯s spear formed traces of killing intent which he hurled towards Mo Wuji. These spear traces were like ripples on the surface of a lake, they spread out quickly and soon wrapped around the surrounding space. Mo Wuji immediately felt that the surrounding air had become very viscous and his movements became a little slower. This fella is really strong, Mo Wuji acknowledged in astonishment. Back when Honest Qi had locked him in space, he felt the same unbearable pressure. But now, a mere Transcending Mortality cultivator actually made him experience the same pain. Mo Wuji''s three elemental storage channels were stimulated and his elemental energy surged fiercely. The Tian Ji Pole sailed through the air, bringing with it trails of invisible elemental sword qi. "Boom!" The strong force of sword qi ripped Gu Shaoyin¡¯s spear traces apart; Mo Wuji immediately felt the surroundings loosen up. Without stopping, he had already swung his Tian Ji pole with all his force towards Gu Shaoyin. Mo Wuji really lamented over the fact that he didn''t have any pole arts. The only skill he had was his Invisible Sword. To any ordinary cultivator, he didn''t even need any pole arts. When he swung his Tian Ji Pole, who could block it? But when facing someone whose cultivation was not much lower than his and even had such impressive spear arts, he was finally outshined. The Invisible Sword was a sword qi technique. When exhibited using his Tian Ji Pole, it was like a cow¡¯s head with a horse mouth. Not even 10% of the power was properly displayed. What he wanted to do the most now, wasn''t to fight with Gu Shaoyin with techniques but elemental energy. "Bam!" The Tian Ji Pole and Gu Shaoyin''s spear clashed; a dust cloud formed which covered the entire sky. Because Gu Shaoyin''s spear arts had obtained the absolute advantage, while his elemental energy couldn''t compare to Mo Wuji''s, he didn''t lose out in that exchange. Meters away, Gu Shaoyin stood straight, stared at Mo Wuji calmly and said, "If you had a pole art, I wouldn''t be your opponent. But now, you are not my opponent. Now, face my Surface Slicing Spear Shadow¡­" The spear was raised; spear shadows formed which shrouded the entire space. At this moment, Mo Wuji was enveloped under the other party¡¯s spear shadows. No matter which direction he escaped to, the spear shadow would slice Mo Wuji to meat juice. By the side, Cen Shuyin''s heart was a little sour. Her abilities were far from these two, but she was still at Transcending Mortality Level 9 so she could clearly see what was happening in the battle. Rogue Cultivator 2705 was actually stronger than that Zhen Mo Continent Mortal Board number one, Gu Shaoyin. But he didn''t have a proper skill, which was why he was at a disadvantage. In comparison, she was a genius of the Heaven Seeking Palace Sword Lake, and would not lack on any sword art. How much hardship and difficulty must this Rogue Cultivator 2705 have gone through to reach this stage? If he was in a sect, what was a simple pole art? But he wasn''t in a sect. Perhaps others might only see honor and glory from his name on the Hundred Sect Alliance''s Contribution Point Board. But no one could see his hardships. Today, she saw it. Chapter 241: Mortal Board Number One Chapter 241: Mortal Board Number One Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Gu Shaoyin saw Mo Wuji trapped in his Surface Slicing Spear Shadow, he knew that the other party would lose. Even though he was going to win, he did not feel contented. He came to understand that the other party was truly a rogue cultivator. Only a rogue cultivator would not have his own weapon art. Mo Wuji looked at the spear shadows and spear intent which blotted out the entire sky and his face was calm without expression. It was true that he did not have any pole related skills but he had a sacred art. Compared to a sacred art, skills count for naught. His Revolving Star Passage Technique had already been cultivated to the Dou Stage Third Level, Solitary Dreamstar. When Gu Shaoyin had forcefully released his spear shadow, Mo Wuji moved. The Tian Ji Pole drew half an arc on the Surface Slicing Spear Shadow. Under the control of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, he formed a curved screen with elemental energy. Thereafter, the number of pole shadows released increased drastically, blurring up that curved screen. Gu Shaoyin suddenly felt that the Mo Wuji in front of him had disappeared. In front of him, was an empty starry sky; he was alone in this starry sky and he had lost all sense of direction and location. This is an illusion, it''s definitely an illusory skill. Gu Shaoyin immediately closed his eyes; his spear shadows and killing intent thickened. At the next moment, Gu Shaoyin reopened his eyes. He discovered that even when he closed his eyes, he still felt that his spear intent was facing a solitary, vast starry sky. In front of his spear shadows were countless dreamlike stars. "Bang!" The spear''s killing intent clashed against those dreamlike stars and it instantly transformed into nothingness, dispersing among the starry sky. A horrifying backlash came rebounding back and Gu Shaoyin''s heart was filled with shock. How could Rogue Cultivator 2705 to be so strong, to defend against his Surface Slicing Spear Shadow under such circumstances? And there was even such a strong rebound of elemental energy? That''s not right, this rebound did not seem to be of much threat to him. Boundless amounts of sand and dust filled the air; Gu Shaoyin finally noticed that his spear did not land on Mo Wuji but struck against a sturdy rock by the side. That rock shattered into four to five pieces. At this moment, he saw Mo Wuji''s incoming Tian Ji Pole. I¡¯m going to die. Gu Shaoyin¡¯s heart turned icy cold. Mo Wuji did not celebrate. If not for his Revolving Star Passage Technique advancing to the third level of the Dou Stage, Gu Shaoyin¡¯s spear art would have left him straggled. By the side, Cen Shuyin was observing the two''s battle with wide eyes. But everything had happened too fast and she completely didn''t have the chance to interfere. When she was prepared to rush in and save Mo Wuji, the situation suddenly changed. The Gu Shaoyin, who originally held the absolute advantage, was now facing the threat of death from Mo Wuji. Before Cen Shuyin could heave a sigh of relief, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a red faced man suddenly emerging from the forest. When she saw that person, her heart immediately sunk. She recognised this man, he was the red faced cultivator who was always beside Special Envoy Xia. Furthermore, she had even seen this person act out before, and his power was second only to that black haired, white bearded Worldly Immortal King. Back then, he was standing on the flying ship and with a single punch, he blasted away the alien True God expert who wanted to ambush the ship. Not good. Cen Shuyin was able to be Sword Lake¡¯s legacy disciple because of her talent alone. In that instant, she knew that the red faced man had definitely appeared so as to save Gu Shaoyin. Not caring about anything else, Cen Shuyin jumped straight towards Mo Wuji. For an expert like this red faced man to save Gu Shaoyin from Mo Wuji, there must at least be 100 different ways. However, Cen Shuyin believed that he would directly kill this Rogue Cultivator 2705. There was no other reason, it was simply because that Special Envoy Xia believed Rogue Cultivator 2705 was her dao companion. "Pui Pui Pui!" Four to five consecutive spurts of blood flashed in front of Mo Wuji''s eyes. Light beams had perforated through Cen Shuyin''s chest and were now racing towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s face changed drastically; with a lift of his Tian Ji Pole and a twist of his body, two bloodied light beams were blocked by his Tian Ji Pole and a third one was avoided. The fourth and fifth ones pierced through his body, drawing blood once more. "Plop!" Cen Shuyin landed in Mo Wuji''s embrace. Mo Wuji finally came to a realisation; Cen Shuyin did not jump to him to save that black robed youth, but to help him block these killer light beams. These killer light had perforated through Cen Shuyin''s body, turning into bloodied light. Mo Wuji fetched a few healing pills which he placed into Cen Shuyin''s mouth and he swallowed some at the same time. His spiritual will instantly started scanning outwards as he tried to find out who had ambushed him. "Sorry." While in Mo Wuji''s embrace, Cen Shuyin said a word which left Mo Wuji confused. "What¡¯s exactly going on?" Mo Wuji asked coldly. Cen Shuyin''s voice was weak, "I implicated you¡­ They followed me here, I really didn''t know¡­" Mo Wuji nodded, "I believe you." He really believed Cen Shuyin. Even though they weren''t extremely good friends, he had no qualms towards her character. "Thank you¡­" After Cen Shuyin said those two words, her head tilted to the side, never to breath again. Mo Wuji forced himself to calm down. It was exactly this moment that he could not have rage cloud his judgement. Just now, if Cen Shuyin did not slow those light beams now, he would have already been killed. The reason why Cen Shuyin apologized to him didn''t matter; it was undeniable that his life was saved by Cen Shuyin. "Not bad, you''re really quite strong. I want to know something, your body does not exude even a half bit of spirituality, and even I am unable to discern your cultivation, how exactly did you do that?" A red faced man appeared from the nearby forest. Mo Wuji responded slowly, one word at a time, "Who are you? Why did you want to kill me?" Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed the boundless rage brewing in his heart to maintain his clarity of mind. The other party''s cultivation was far stronger than that black clothed True God expert he faced before. Such an expert actually sneak attacked a Transcending Mortality Stage cultivator. He even ignored Cen Shuyin''s death, how could Mo Wuji not be angry? "Elder Ceng, what''s the meaning of this?" Gu Shaoyin had slowly came to his senses and he asked with a low voice. The red faced man snorted, "If I didn''t save you, would you still be alive? Ungrateful." Gu Shaoyin¡¯s face turned ugly. He turned towards Mo Wuji, clasped his fists and said, "I''m not your opponent. From now on, I''m also not the Mortal Board number one. Tell me, what''s your name?" "Rogue Cultivator 2705." Mo Wuji coldly replied, his eyes fixed on that red faced man. Even if this red faced man didn''t act, he also wouldn''t have killed Gu Shaoyin. Gu Shaoyin sighed inwardly and he turned and left. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared. He knew, he could not save Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also knew, he might not escape with his life today. Regretfully, there were many things he had yet to do. If he just died like this, it would truly be such a deep regret. "I''m not the one who wants to kill you, it''s the Star King Mountain''s special envoy who wants to kill you," the red faced man said faintly. "Because the special envoy had eyes for your dao companion but your dao companion was not willing." My dao companion? Mo Wuji looked down towards the lifeless Cen Shuyin and developed a faint understanding of the situation. If Cen Shuyin had really used him as a shield, then he was truly maligned. However, he still believed that Cen Shuyin wasn''t such a person. He understood Cen Shuyin, she definitely wouldn''t use him as a shield just to protect herself. "If you want to kill me, then do it." Mo Wuji''s voice was calm. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to widen the gap. Otherwise, with his laser cannon, this fella would be turned to dust. Even though he knew that he did not have a chance, Mo Wuji still gathered his elemental energy. Before he died, he would give this red faced b*stard a solid blast of Lightning Flash. If a chance arises, he would immediately jump into the cliff behind him. However, Mo Wuji knew his odds; the probability that he could jump down the cliff with this red faced cultivator here was close to naught. From another perspective, jumping down might even be useless. The red faced cultivator did not immediately kill him, but took a few steps forward and asked, "The spirituality around your body is weak, like you have poor spiritual roots. How did you achieve such a powerful level? Or, how did you hide your cultivation?" After a short pause, he continued, "You only have one chance to answer. If you give me a good answer, I might spare your life." "I can answer you, but answer my question first. Who are you, did you come from the Zhen Mo Continent?" Mo Wuji remained calm and asked. If he could have yet another life, even if he had to travel through multiple galaxies, he would come and find where this red faced cultivator stayed, and blast him into smithereens. [1] "Haha¡­ You still think you have a chance to take revenge?" With that, the red faced cultivator raised his hand again, two beams of light shot out. Mo Wuji could clearly see the presence of these two beams of light but he was unable to dodge it. "Pui Pui!" Two streams of blood sprayed from his body. Two fractures appeared on the ground beneath him, he had used the Revolving Star Passage Technique to shift most of the attack towards the ground. "Oh right, there''s still one more thing I actually forgot to ask you. At the end, you managed to defend against Gu Shaoyin''s Surface Slicing Spear Shadow. That wasn''t a skill right? If I guessed correctly, it should be a sacred art. Answer me, what is that sacred art, where did you get it from? To help you give me your answers heartily, I will answer you first. This lord comes from the Star King Mountain Xia Clan. I am the Xia Clan Elder Ceng Houyi." Seeing Mo Wuji redirect a large portion of the power of his light beams to the ground, the red faced cultivator asked another question. Mo Wuji quietly and stealthily took a few steps back and he maintained calm without emotion, "I only have one sentence to tell you. If I ever come back to being, I will definitely kill my way to the Star King Mountain and destroy your Xia Clan." With that, Mo Wuji exhaled a long breath. He had been killed twice and both times were due to someone with the surname ''Xia¡¯. "You don''t have to retreat because you won''t have a chance to jump down the cliff. If I were you, I would honestly answer the questions." Ceng Houyi seemed to see through Mo Wuji''s thoughts; his tone was icy cold. "Monkey''s ass! You come to my Heaven Seeking Palace''s territory and still dare to act so arrogantly. If I were you, I would obediently kneel down and wait for this old man you to carve your neck into a urinal." An extremely thin fishing line appeared under Ceng Houyi''s neck and an elderly voice could be heard. [1] Foreshadowing that he could go back to Earth??? Chapter 242: Heaven Seeking Palaces Expert Chapter 242: Heaven Seeking Palace''s Expert Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ceng Houyi turned back and discovered that there was a slightly hunched old man near him. The old man had a fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line in front of him was from the old man¡¯s fishing rod. When did this white moustached elder appear? He actually had no clue to the answer of that question. How could Ceng Houyi still care about Mo Wuji? He immediately retreated away from the old man. He just got to the 10 meter mark when a terrifying force appeared on his neck. Ceng Houyi hastily stopped. He saw the fishing line in front of his neck just now, but now, it had already wrapped around his neck. This was a fishing line without a fishing hook. "Senior is a Worldly Immortal King?" Ceng Houyi''s back dripped with cold sweat. He was in the Great Circle of the True God Stage but he wasn''t even able to escape a thin fishing line. What else could his opponent be if not a Worldly Immortal King? The Lost Continent had a Worldly Immortal King? If there was a Worldly Immortal King, why didn''t he stop the alien cultivators? "None of your sh*tty business." The white moustached old man tugged his line. Ceng Houyi immediately jumped towards the direction of the fishing line. If he didn''t, his neck would follow the fishing line back to the old man. Mo Wuji looked over, this old man was like playing with a big fish he just caught. "Greetings senior." Mo Wuji hurriedly bowed. He recognised this old man; previously when he was looking for Granny Linglong, this old man was fishing at the cliff in front of the Pill Pagoda. The white moustached old man sized Mo Wuji up. After some time, he seemed to recall something and he suddenly asked, "Oh right, why did you quit the Heaven Seeking Palace? Mo Wuji knew that this white moustached old man clearly knew his identity, so he bowed and said, "Junior is merely an outer disciple at the Heaven Seeking Palace. The Heaven Seeking Palace can easily do without me." The elder ruminated for a while before nodding, "You¡¯re right, this broken Heaven Seeking Palace isn''t suitable for you. Let me think¡­" As he spoke, the old man fiddled with his moustache. He lowered his head and went deep in thought. After some time, he raised his head and asked, "Let me see the thing you took from the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to retrieve that Immortal Seeking Token and offered it to the old man. The white moustached old man grabbed the Immortal Seeking Token and examined. It was only after a few minutes that he asked, "Do you want this thing?" Mo Wuji did not mind and said, "If senior likes it, you can take it. This thing is useless to me." Mo Wuji''s heart was pounding heavily. It''s true that the best way for people not to know of your actions was to not do it in the first place. Mo Wuji thought that no one else knew that he had reached the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase, but this old man seemed as though he had seen it with his very own eyes. This old man was even cognizant that Mo Wuji had taken something from the top. "Good, then give it to me¡­" Halfway through his sentence, the old man seemed to recall something. "Something''s wrong. You want to harm me. Don''t think I will fall for your trick." The old man hastily threw the Immortal Seeking Token back to Mo Wuji. "Senior, please let junior down. Junior came from the Zhen Mo Continent and had come here to help defend the Lost Continent from the invasion of the alien cultivators." Due to the fishing line around his neck, Ceng Houyi had to slowly force his words out. He was worried that this fishing line would suddenly jerk and his neck would be sliced off. Just now, he had tried probing the line with his elemental energy and found that removing the fishing line was completely out of his means. The white moustached old man frowned, "How in fart''s business has that got to do with me? You didn''t come here to defend the Heaven Seeking Palace from those alien cultivators." "Senior, if we didn''t come, there would be more Heaven Seeking Palace disciples who would have died under the alien cultivators¡¯ hands. Even the first dean would have lost her life." Ceng Houyi hastily explained. The white moustached old man snorted and pulled his fishing line, causing Ceng Houyi to go a huge circle in mid air before landing next to his feet, "If the Heaven Seeking Palace disciples die then so be it. It''s not the Heaven Seeking Palace which gets destroyed. How is that my problem?" "But senior is a Worldly Immortal King. Aren''t you bullying the weak by dealing with a True God ant like me?" Ceng Houyi really couldn¡¯t show the slightest temper towards this white moustached old man. "Ah, now this sounds more reasonable," The old man acknowledged. Mo Wuji could not hold it in, he took a step forward and said, "A True God like you ambushed me. Why aren''t you ashamed?" Between his words, the Tian Ji Pole in his hands had soundlessly pounded against Ceng Houyi¡¯s chest. Ceng Houyi had been restrained by the white moustached old man and had no means of resistance. With this simple strike, Mo Wuji had destroyed all his spirit channels. Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy pervaded upwards and also tore apart his dantian and Mind Palace. He coughed out a mouth full of fresh blood. Ceng Houyi was filled with grievances; this was worse than killing him. The white moustached old man acted as though he didn''t see Mo Wuji''s actions, he turned towards Cen Shuyin and said, "This little girl is dead?" Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes. She died due to this person''s ambush, just to save me." The old man sighed and said, "This little girl is not bad. Why don''t you let me take a look." "Senior can save her?" Mo Wuji ecstatically offered Cen Shuyin over to the white moustached old man. "Don''t know." The old man replied with two simple words but he didn''t immediately receive Cen Shuyin. Instead, he bent down and picked up the red faced cultivator''s storage ring. He then fiddled around with the red faced cultivator''s clothes and it seemed like the clothes didn''t catch his eye. Thereafter, he pulled something off the red faced cultivator''s neck. Only after all that did the white moustached old man receive Cen Shuyin, "I''m returning back to the Heaven Seeking Palace. If I can save her I will. If I can''t save her, then I''ll throw her back to the Sword Lake. She was from the Sword Lake anyway." With that, the white moustached old man disappeared. Mo Wuji''s eyes and mouth were wide agape. This was a Worldly Immortal King? Wasn''t it more appropriate to call him a robber king? Mo Wuji was speechless as he looked at the paralysed, bloodied, red faced cultivator. Everything valuable on this fella had been snatched away by that white moustached old man. That old man didn''t even leave him any scraps. "Heaven Seeking Palace will be razed to the ground by the Star King Mountain¡­" Ceng Houyi glared at Mo Wuji and said seriously. His neck had been wrapped by the old man''s fishing line for so long but not a single scar could be seen. "Oh, who knows?" Mo Wuji lifted up his Tian Ji Pole. Ceng Houyi went blank, Oh ya, who would know about what happened? Gu Shaoyin knew that he had blocked Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin but Gu Shaoyin wouldn''t know about the Heaven Seeking Palace''s hidden expert who attacked him, much less the fact that this hidden expert was a Worldly Immortal King. "Smash!" The Tian Ji Pole descended, turning the red faced cultivator''s brains into meat juice. The moment the primordial spirit emerged, Mo Wuji did not wait for it to fly far away and immediately blasted it with a lightning bolt. He definitely wouldn''t leave this red faced cultivator with a chance of surviving. "Crackle!" Under this lightning bolt, the red faced cultivator''s spirit directly evaporated into nothingness. Then, Mo Wuji climbed down the cliff, dug a small immortal cave by the side of the cliff, and threw some spirit stone dregs over the place, making it seem as though someone had stayed there for long. Thereafter, he packed up the red faced cultivator¡¯s corpse, fetched his flying ship, and hurriedly left that place. One day later, Mo Wuji cremated the red faced cultivator in some deserted valley. Even though Mo Wuji felt that he had nicely cleaned things up well, he didn''t just stop there. Another day later, Mo Wuji went to an ordinary cultivator city and spread a rumor. Only then did he depart for Yu Lin. ¡­ If there was something that the Zhen Mo Continent looked forward to the most, it would be the Mortal Board, Earth Board and Heaven Board. Even though these three ranking boards could not compare to the Universal Board, almost every expert on the Universal Board had been listed on these three boards. If it was a decently sized cultivator city, or a guild entrance, these four boards would definitely be erected. And at this very moment, almost every place with a Mortal Board was buzzing with discussion and activity. All this arose when the number one on the Mortal Board changed. The Star King Mountain''s Gu Shaoyin had dropped to number two, and now a Rogue Cultivator 2705 had occupied the number one spot." "Rogue Cultivator 2705? What a weird name? Is he a new member of the Star King Mountain?" "Does anyone know where Senior Gu is? Don''t tell me this Rogue Cultivator 2705 used some despicable method to win Gu Shaoyin?" "Might Senior Gu have taken part in the Star Wars?" "Don¡¯t talk nonsense, Senior Gu might be number one on the Mortal Board, but he has yet to enter the Earth Realm. How could he go to Star Wars battlefields?" ¡­ Mo Wuji had yet to go to the Zhen Mo Continent but discussions about him had spread to every corner of the continent. Even some supreme sects had heard of Rogue Cultivator 2705. A Mortal Realm cultivator that could trump over Gu Shaoyin, only an idiot wouldn¡¯t know that his prospects were boundless. Only a few in Star King Mountain knew that this Rogue Cultivator 2705 might not be a cultivator from the Zhen Mo Continent, but from the cultivation lagging Lost Continent. ¡­ At the same time, the competition on the Yan City Plaza had concluded. 100 of the best cultivators had been selected and were ready to head to the Zhen Mo Continent. Within the Yan City Royal Palace, Xia Mu was currently frowning towards Gu Shaoyin. "You said that when you left, Elder Ceng had already captured that Rogue Cultivator 2705, but why isn¡¯t he back yet?" Xia Mu¡¯s tone was icy cold. Gu Shaoyin was clueless on the matter so he didn¡¯t answer Xia Mu¡¯s question. Xia Mu clenched his fist tightly; if it was someone else, Xia Mu would have long called for him to be dragged out and skinned. But Gu Shaoyin was not someone that Xia Mu could casually touched. Gu Shaoyin might seem to follow his instructions, but he was still the Mortal Board number one. Even if Xia Mu became the master of the Star King Mountain, he still couldn¡¯t casually kill Gu Shaoyin. At this moment, a tiny man hastily entered. "Rhodes, did you discover anything?" Seeing this tiny man, Xia Mu immediately stood up and asked urgently. The tiny man named Rhodes nodded, "I went to a cultivator city near where Rogue Cultivator 2705 and Shaoyin battled and heard some rumours. The rumors said that after the battle between Rogue Cultivator 2705 and Gu Shaoyin, an expert with the surname ¡®Ceng¡¯ ambushed Rogue Cultivator 2705. Thereafter, Gu Shaoyin left and that ¡®Ceng¡¯ expert questioned Rogue Cultivator 2705 for the reason for his strength despite his average spiritual roots. He forced Rogue Cultivator to hand over some treasure but Rogue Cultivator 2705 was unwilling. Eventually, the ¡®Ceng¡¯ expert forcefully brought Rogue Cultivator 2705 away." "Who spread this rumor?" Xia Mu¡¯s face had turned ugly. "It was also a rogue cultivator. He was cultivating in a cliff nearby and chanced upon to this situation. I went to the cliff by the battlefield and found that there was truly a immortal cave by the cliff. Inside, there were even remnants of used spirit stones," Rhodes answered. Chapter 243: The Strong Lei Clan Chapter 243: The Strong Lei Clan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Then where is this rogue cultivator?" Xia Mu¡¯s expression turned ugly, yet he didn¡¯t really believe that Ceng Houyi would do something like this. Rhodes sighed, "This story originated from a hotel. There was simply too many people in the hotel then, and everyone knew this story, but no one took note of who started spreading it." At this point, Rhodes paused for a moment, "Young Master, I heard from Shaoyi that Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s talent for cultivation is very poor. For a person without talent in Transcending Mortality Stage to actually defeat Shaoyi who¡¯s Rank 1 on the Mortal Board, he must have a big secret about him. If Elder Ceng could sense his secret, it would be hard to know if such an incident might occur." Gu Shaoyin suddenly came to a realisation. Thankfully he had left early, otherwise, he might have been silenced for good. In his mind, Xia Mu began to believe Rhodes¡¯s words, and upon observing this, Rhodes carried on, embellishing the story further, "Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s contribution points have been this high, and he holds the top rank on the rankings, so why wouldn¡¯t he show himself for such a high profile incident? I believe that this guy is afraid that his secret would get exposed. Hence, if it weren¡¯t for Cen Shuyin, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to locate him." The hatred in Xia Mu¡¯s heart grew. Ceng Houyi was a part of his Xia Clan, but he actually got some funny ideas after a treasure was presented before him which ultimately led to the killing of Rogue Cultivator 2705 while the treasure remained out of Xia Clan¡¯s hands. Instead, the Xia Clan was exposed. This was simply unforgivable. "Forget it, let¡¯s prepare to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase, then return to Zhen Mo Continent." The expression on Xia Mu¡¯s face changed multiple times, and in the end he could only sigh. Ceng Houyi was at a half step to Worldly Immortal King, and after he defected away, there was no one on Xia Mu¡¯s side that could restrain him. Even though Defender Xu could kill Ceng Houyi in seconds, he was a Worldly Immortal King, and was not a retainer of the Xia Clan, so there was no way for Xia Mu to use him. If it were for official work, perhaps Defender Xu would take actions to help him. However, this was personal business, hence Defender Xu might not even bother with him. It was better that he didn¡¯t go to try his luck. As for Ceng Houyi being killed by others, he never thought this would be possible. How many people on the Lost Continent were there that would be capable of killing Ceng Houyi? If there were such experts, why wouldn¡¯t they have emerged when the Hundred Sect Alliance was about to be destroyed? ¡­ At that moment, Mo Wuji was on the way towards Yu Lin Lei Clan. He believed that no matter how much trust Xia Mu had in Ceng Houyi, some doubts about Ceng Houyi¡¯s disappearance would still exist, because there was no one on the Lost Continent that could be a match for him. The strength of the white moustached fisherman was something that even the Heaven Seeking Palace did not know about. The only thing that puzzled Mo Wuji was that, with the strength that the white moustached fisherman possessed, could it be that he was really a Worldly Immortal King? Wasn¡¯t it very difficult to even enter the True God Stage in the Lost Continent? So how could there by Worldly Immortal Kings? The Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Heaven Seeking Staircase came to mind, and Mo Wuji thought that if something like that existed, why couldn¡¯t there be a Worldly Immortal King? Maybe he had come from another place. Luckily Cen Shuyin was brought away by this old moustached elder, as Mo Wuji hoped that the elder would be able to save her life. No matter what, once he finished building up Tian Ji Sect, he would go back to Heaven Seeking Palace to find out how Cen Shuyin was. ¡­ Yu Lin. This was an area that was neither a state nor a prefecture. Even though Yu Lin was at the intersection of Xing Han Empire and Tian Shang Empire, it did not fall under the jurisdiction of either empire. There was a large clan here: the Yu Lin Lei Clan. The Lei Clan¡¯s history was went even further back than some of the ancient clans around. Back in ancient times, the Lei Clan was one of the top clans which had a large number of True God Stage experts. Only in the recent years did the Lei Clan begin to decline. Even so, the Lei Clan remained as the greatest Earth sect. As the number of genius disciples in the Lei Clan grew, there was hope for it to return to the ranks of Heaven sects in the future. In the area of Yu Lin, the Lei Clan was the law. Whatever the law dictated, everyone in Yu Lin would have to follow. No one dared to fight against the Lei Clan, not even some Earth sects. As a result, out of all clans, the Lei Clan¡¯s cultivators were the strongest in battle strength in a particular cultivation level. This was due to their inherited lightning attribute spiritual roots, which meant that one would be a top notch expert if it appeared, with no equal in the same cultivation level. The surname of the Lei Clan [1] had arose from their lightning attribute spiritual roots, and it was so until today. Li Yi was a small town at the borders of Yu Lin district, and because the Yu Lin Lei Clan was so strong, this small town had always flourished. Other than Lei Clan disciples, almost no horse bandits and cultivators dared to make a ruckus here. Changing his appearance into that of a regular middle aged rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji entered Li Yi Town. Inside, there seemed to be barely any indications of the alien cultivators¡¯ invasion. Mo Wuji walked into a hotel, and casually ordered a jug of wine in its first floor¡¯s hall. He originally planned to ask the helpers around here for some information, but heard two men at one side discussing about Lei Hongji. But unfortunately, those two men changed their topic of conversation after a few sentences. With that, Mo Wuji gave up asking the helpers for information, instead bringing his wine jug to the table of the two men, bowing respectfully, "My two friends, if you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll be paying for this round of wine." The two of them were complete strangers to Mo Wuji, and upon hearing what he had said, they stared at him in surprise. Treating other people to wine was naturally okay, but there had to be a reason behind it right? "Both of you need not think so much, because Lei Clan¡¯s Senior Lei Hongji is my favourite genius. To think that Senior Lei Hongji had become a top notch lightning attribute cultivator as such a young age. There aren¡¯t many that can match up to him in the Lost Continent. I believe that Senior Lei Hongji enrollment in the Great Evolution Sect allowed him to add on to the glory of the sect, instead of the other way around. That¡¯s right, I heard both of you say that Senior Lei Hongji had passed the selection and is really going to the Zhen Mo Continent?" Mo Wuji made it as though as he was on the same frequency as them, speaking incessantly after sitting down. These two cultivators that were discussing about Lei Hongji were immediately stunned after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words. In a place like Yu Lin, Lei Clan¡¯s Lei Hongji had an unimaginably large number of fans. The slightly fat cultivator clapped his hands together, "My friend, you¡¯re spot on. Lei Hongji passed the three rounds and is one of the geniuses that can go to Zhen Mo Continent. I also heard from others that once the Worldly Immortal King from Zhen Mo Continent found out that Senior Lei had supreme lightning attribute spiritual roots, he was even praised for it. The Worldly Immortal King said that for this level of spiritual roots, even without the selection, he would qualify to go to Zhen Mo Continent." "That¡¯s great!" Mo Wuji clapped his hands together, just like the slightly fat cultivator, and exclaimed. But after that, he spoke in a low voice, "It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t manage to go to Yan City Plaza, otherwise, I could see Senior Lei¡¯s glory and gracefulness. I imagine it would have been very sexy [2]." The two men did not know what sexy meant, but they could infer that it was a term of praise. The other fairer cultivator nodded his head in agreement, "My friend, you¡¯re right, but there are many people going to Heaven Seeking Palace now, and Senior Lei went there as well. If you head to Heaven Seeking Palace, you might have the chance to see Senior Lei from a distance." "Why are they going to Heaven Seeking Palace?" Mo Wuji was shocked, and quickly asked. He wanted to find out about the Lei Clan, but in the end he discovered that everyone was going to Heaven Seeking Palace. Could his sabotage have failed? The fair cultivator chuckled, "It seems like you really don¡¯t know yet. The Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Star King Mountain¡¯s special envoy has always revered Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Heaven Seeking Staircase, so he went to climb it to see if he could get ranked first. At the same time, all the geniuses heading to Zhen Mo Continent also have to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase once. From this they will determine everyone¡¯s potential for growth. Since Senior Lei was in the top 100 for the competition, he naturally has to go to Heaven Seeking Palace too." Hearing that it was about the Heaven Seeking Staircase allowed Mo Wuji to heave a sigh of relief, and he asked while slightly confused, "Then are all the Lei Clan experts going to Heaven Seeking Palace?" The slightly fat cultivator shook his head, "It¡¯s the complete opposite, all Lei Clan experts are not going." "Why? Lei Hongji is the number one genius of Lei Clan after all, so why isn¡¯t there anyone going. They seem to be making light of the situation." An angry expression appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s face as he spoke passionately. The slightly fat cultivator simply laughed, "My friend, you¡¯re a very emotional person, so let me tell you the truth. The third day of next month is Lei Clan¡¯s ancestors¡¯ memorial day. All Lei Clan disciples have to come back to burn incense and pray." Hearing this, Mo Wuji was extremely elated. Even the heavens wanted to destroy the Lei Clan, as such a good opportunity had been delivered to his doorstep. "Then is Lei Hongji coming back too?" Mo Wuji asked naively. To that, the slightly fat cultivator responded, "He originally was coming back, but after the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s special envoy said that the 100 chosen disciples cannot leave their group, and once they do, it would be considered as backing out. Hence the Lei Clan¡¯s Clan Head could only allow Lei Hongji to not return for the time being, and follow the Zhen Mo Continent group to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase." "I heard that the Lei Clan¡¯s Clan Head is at Great Circle of Nihility God Stage. Not sure if that¡¯s true or not." Mo Wuji randomly spouted. "Haha, you¡¯re wrong about this. I heard that the Lei Clan¡¯s Clan Head is at Nihility God Stage Level 3. The real Great Circle of Nihility God Stage cultivator is the Lei Clan¡¯s First Elder, Lei Guang." The slightly fat cultivator giggled, as he was satisfied that he could educate Mo Wuji. "Haha...It seems like I¡¯ve been focusing too much on Lei Hongji, so I didn¡¯t take note of other things. Come, let¡¯s drink." After speaking, Mo Wuji took the cup before him and downed all of its contents. The other to men also resonated with Mo Wuji¡¯s forthright attitude, and emptied their cups too. ¡­ Heaven Seeking Palace regained its past glory and liveliness, and the Heaven Seeking Staircase was more congested than ever. Many people had rushed over from Yan City Plaza just to watch the Lost Continent experts climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Moreover, everyone also heard that the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s special envoy was taking part in the climb too. Hence for these few days, Heaven Seeking Palace was open to the public. Anyone could enter as they pleased, and go to the plaza in front of Heaven Seeking Staircase. Of course, they could only go to the Heaven Seeking Staircase¡¯s plaza, and nowhere else. The rankings in front of Heaven Seeking Staircase was covered with a piece of red cloth, waiting for the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s special envoy to officially declare the commencement of the climb. Standing on the Heaven Seeking Staircase¡¯s plaza, Xia Mu looked up at the Heaven Seeking Staircase whose top could not be seen. A sense of excitement and pride welled up inside him. He had to climb to the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, and carve his name as the eternal Rank 1 on the Heaven Seeking Staircase rankings, which would make all the Lost Continent¡¯s future geniuses think of him, Xia Mu, whenever they come here in the future. "Take off the red cloth, unveil the Heaven Seeking Board." Xia Mu waved his hand. The setback from a few days ago had already been forgotten by him. A strong gust of wind blew the red cloth away, and after the rankings was revealed, the crowd was shocked. [1] We translated Lei as lightning. [2] The raw for sexy is À­·ç, which is sort of slang so the two men don¡¯t know about it. Chapter 244: Rank 1 on Heaven Seeking Board Chapter 244: Rank 1 on Heaven Seeking Board Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations On the top of Heaven Seeking Board, there was only one person ranked 1, but the name behind the rank was empty. After the empty name section, there was a step number, and that number made all Heaven Seeking Palace members suck in a breath of cold air, because it wrote"108 steps". Cultivators from elsewhere did not know how hard climbing the Heaven Seeking Staircase was, or what it meant to reach step 108, but people of Heaven Seeking Palace knew it very clearly. "What¡¯s going on?" Feng Zhenqiu asked coldly. The Heaven Seeking Palace Administrator, who had been standing at one side, quickly stepped out and bowed respectfully, "Dean Feng, this situation appeared over half a month ago. I originally wanted to report this personally to you, but I never had the chance until now." He was not lying when he said those words. Once this situation presented itself, he frantically searched for the top management of Heaven Seeking Palace to report it. However, because of the war with the aliens, the few deans, elders, and summit lords were all absent from the sect. By the time he had the chance to report it to the dean, he couldn''t meet the dean, and only received the order to cover the Heaven Seeking Board with red cloth. Up till now, this was the first time he could speak to the Second Dean. "I¡¯m already aware of the situation. Please take your leave." Bei Suting¡¯s voice came from the side. "Roger." The administrator quickly backed off after bowing respectfully. His back was already soaked with sweat. Even he did not know how such a situation could arise, and he did not believe that someone could climb to the 108th step of Heaven Seeking Staircase. He had climbed the Heaven Seeking Staircase before, and that sort of difficulty was not something that willpower could overcome. "Senior Suting, what¡¯s going on here?" Even though Bei Suting was much younger than Feng Zhenqiu, Feng Zhenqiu still addressed her as senior out of respect for her title of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dean. At this moment, Feng Zhenqiu was actually a little worried. The Heaven Seeking Staircase was the symbol of Heaven Seeking Palace, so once the staircase had something wrong with it, could Heaven Seeking Palace still be considered as Heaven Seeking Palace? Bei Suting began speaking a moment later, "I only found out about this not long ago, and I¡¯ve discussed it with a few elders and summit lords. It¡¯s very likely that a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace climbed the Heaven Seeking Staircase while we were participating in the alien war, and managed to reach the top. This disciple was also unwilling to reveal his name, so he did not carve his name in stone at the top." "There¡¯s such a genius disciple in Heaven Seeking Palace?" Feng Zhenqiu became so emotional to the point that he started trembling, and soon he reached the conclusion that what Bei Suting said might very well be true. This was because only this sort of disciple would climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase while everyone was away and not leave his name behind after reaching the top. "I¡¯ve already sent people to check which disciples did not leave Heaven Seeking Palace during the war with alien cultivators, so we should get an answer soon." Bei Suting spoke. In her heart, she hoped that such a genius disciple really appeared in Heaven Seeking Palace. Feng Zhenqiu nodded his head, and said, "There¡¯s one more thing, according to rumors that are being spread around, Rogue Cultivator 2705 has taken away by Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Ceng Houyi, and it''s likely due to Ceng Houyi going after some treasures that he had." In response to that, Bei Suting sighed, "Even if that were true, Heaven Seeking Palace can¡¯t do anything about it. Since that rogue cultivator chose his own path, it was fate that he met such an incident. Sigh, when will Lost Continent produce an outstanding expert that will allow us to speak up for ourselves." After she finished speaking, Bei Suting¡¯s face was filled with sorrow. Regardless whether it was the alien cultivators almost decimating all cultivators of Lost Continent, or the strong front of the visitors from Zhen Mo Continent, they all made her feel a deep sense of helplessness. Even as the leader of Lost Continent, she couldn¡¯t do anything, so what more for the rest of the people. "Dean Feng, what¡¯s going on?" Xia Mu had an ugly expression on his face. He initially wanted to climb to the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, but who knew there would be someone that beat him to it. Feng Zhenqiu quickly went over to explain, "Special Envoy Xia, I¡¯m not very sure why there¡¯s this sort of incident in my Heaven Seeking Palace. If not for the fact that it is impossible to reach the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, I''d have suspected that someone climbed it on the sly. I believe that, as long as someone climbs to the top of Heaven Seeking Palace and carves down his name, then he¡¯ll naturally take rank 1." Xia Mu knew that this was Feng Zhenqiu was bullsh*ting him, even mocking him a little. Since no one could reach the top, who rank 1 was did not matter to Xia Mu. He did not really bother with Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s words though. As long as he stepped onto the highest step of Heaven Seeking Staircase and carved down his name, then the nameless entry would naturally slide to rank 2. Instead of talking nonsense with this guy, why couldn¡¯t he just use his actions to show the Lost Continent what he was capable of. "All brave men about to head for Zhen Mo Continent, even though you were able to emerge victorious from the large group of competitors, but please let me see the potential you hold. Now I will lead everyone to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase together, and I hope that I can see everyone¡¯s names on the Heaven Seeking Board." Xia Mu announced loudly in front of the 1st step. All of the people present applauded, as many of them had looked to the Heaven Seeking Staircase with reverence all this while, just that they did not have the chance to climb it because they were not disciples of Heaven Seeking Palace. Since there was such a good opportunity before them, who would want to miss it? Even more people wanted to leave their names on the top of the Heaven Seeking Board so that the special envoy would take notice of them. Satisfied with the crowd¡¯s response, Xia Mu said with a wave of his hand, "Everyone come with me, let¡¯s go conquer the Heaven Seeking Staircase." The word "conquer" made the people of Heaven Seeking Palace quite unhappy, but most of the cultivators there were rather excited after hearing those words. Conquering Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Heaven Seeking Staircase naturally became the dream in everyone¡¯s hearts. Xia Mu was the first to step on Heaven Seeking Staircase, and as he easily progressed from step 1 to step 2, his heart sank. Although such pressure was nothing for him, the 2nd step¡¯s pressure was almost double that of the 1st step. How frightening would the pressure be when he reached the 108th step then? But he calmed himself down very quickly, as his age was not that large, and he was even much younger than other Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators here. Moreover, he was at Nihility God Stage, with the possibility of entering the Extreme Earth Stage. Thus he strongly believed that there would not be anyone from the Lost Continent that surpassed him. However, a sense of frustration arose inside when he thought of the nameless person in rank 1. Originally, it was not a problem for him to take rank 1 even if he did not reach the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, but the current rank 1 actually made it to the 108th step. Lifting his head up and gazing at the seemingly never ending Heaven Seeking Staircase, Xia Mu took in a deep breath. If he tried it best, who said he wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the top? Xia Mu was the first to step onto the Heaven Seeking Staircase, followed by the hundred selected Lost Continent cultivators. Even those who had climbed the staircase before, like Gou Zihan and Feng Luojian, also climbed the Heaven Seeking Staircase once again. The plaza in front of Heaven Seeking Staircase became silent, and countless cultivators observed those talented and strong experts climb the staircase. Feng Zhenqiu turned to look at Bei Suting and sighed to himself. If Bei Suting also went to climb the staircase, she probably could pass the 100th step. By then, Xia Mu had already reached the 40th step, and at this point he had to start putting in some effort. This was the first time that he felt that no matter how talented he was, there was little chance for him to reach the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase. Another four hours passed by, and when Xia Mu reached the 70th step, his speed was gradually becoming slower. Moreover, it was the first time that someone had overtaken this special envoy from Zhen Mo Continent. This shocked Xia Mu completely. Even though the pressure from the Heaven Seeking Staircase would be greater for those with higher cultivation levels, he did not believe that anyone from the Lost Continent would be able to pass him, because the higher one¡¯s cultivation level, the greater one¡¯s resistance was too. On top of that, he was quite young. Didn¡¯t the Heaven Seeking Staircase give less pressure the younger you were? Before Xia Mu regained his senses, another person overtook him again. Now Xia Mu¡¯s expression became ugly. Luckily he did not declare that he would definitely be number 1 before starting the climb. Collecting his elemental energy, Xia Mu also sped up. The 80th step¡­ The 90th step¡­ Many people began to drop out as they were not able to endure any further, but Xia Mu still did not manage to charge to the number 1 position, instead he remained as number 3. The people in position number 1 and 2 were all familiar people. One was Lei Hongji, who Defender Xu had specially mentioned before as this was a cultivator who had just advanced to Yuan Dan Stage and possessed supreme lightning attribute spiritual roots. The second was Xi Yixuan, who was Great Evolution Sect¡¯s genius disciple and in Yuan Dan Stage Level 9. On the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Ranking, he was only second to Rogue Cultivator 2705. Jiang Xiushan was extremely excited, as his Great Evolution Sect was still above Heaven Seeking Palace. Even now on the Heaven Seeking Staircase of Heaven Seeking Palace, the situation did not change. Other than the unnamed rank 1 person, Gou Zihan was rank 2 for Heaven Seeking Staircase, and he had reached the 92nd step. At this moment, the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Xi Yixuan had crossed the 94th step. Moreover, the other genius of Great Evolution Sect, Lei Hongji, had passed the 98th step. After swallowing a mouthful of blood, Xia Mu sneakily took a pill, and jumped two steps up to the 94th step. At the 95th step, Xi Yixuan finally stopped, struggling to write down his name on the white stone slab before being sent down the Heaven Seeking Staircase. While Xia Mu saw the 95th step in front of him, it seemed very far away. Sighing, he knew that this was the end of the line. If it were some other time, he would not be willing to leave his name behind, but now there were so many eyes on him, so if he did not write his name down, other people would probably think that he was narrow minded. With a short moment of hesitation, Xia Mu decided to write down "Star King Mountain¡¯s Xia Mu" on the stone slab. Right after writing these few words, Xia Mu was sent down from the Heaven Seeking Staircase. "Not bad, not bad, there were quite a few genius disciples chosen by Zhen Mo Continent." Xia Mu felt down, but still put up a smile and gave words of praise. However, no one criticised him then, as it would already take a genius out of many geniuses to reach the 94th step of Heaven Seeking Staircase. Even the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s people also thought of Xia Mu as a genius, because their strongest Gou Zihan still peaked at the 92nd step on his second attempt. "Junior apprentice sister Yan¡¯Er, don¡¯t be disappointed. Once you advance to the Yuan Dan Stage, you¡¯ll definitely be able to reach Heaven Seeking Staircase¡¯s 100th step. Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators always get the short end of the stick while climbing Heaven Seeking Staircase." Seeing that Yan¡¯Er was rather sad after being sent down the Heaven Seeking Staircase, Shi Jinwen quickly stepped forward to offer words of comfort. Since her master, Granny Linglong, had disappeared, to her, Yan¡¯Er was Pill Pagoda¡¯s future. No one minded that Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s number 1 genius had come down, as everyone was still staring at Lei Hongji on the 99th step of Heaven Seeking Staircase and wanted to find out if this guy with supreme lightning attribute spiritual roots could climb onto the 100th step, or even reach the 108th step to conquer the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Chapter 245: Still Gotta Pay Your Debts Chapter 245: Still Gotta Pay Your Debts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yu Lin Lei Clan was rather lively these few days, as almost all Lei Clan disciples rushed back for the Lei Clan ancestor¡¯s memorial. The Lei Clan Ancestral Hall was surrounded by incense, and as long as one was a Lei Clan disciple, regardless whether from the main or side branch, one had to come forth to with dedicate some incense. Tens of meters away from the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall, Mo Wuji laid in ambush inside some vines, and a laser cannon had been set up by him. In the area surrounding of the vines, Mo Wuji set up a concealment array that could almost be considered intermediate grade, and he believed that even if Lei Guang used his spiritual will to scan the area, he probably would not be detected. This distance was chosen by him, and his original plan was to set up the laser cannon a few tens of meters away from the Ancestral Hall, but once he heard that the Lei Clan had a Great Circle of Nihility God Stage cultivator, he changed his plans. After all, Mo Wuji came from Earth, so he could not bear to harm women and children. If it were other cultivators, they probably wouldn¡¯t have chosen to use only a laser cannon, possibly taking out another heavenly fire cannon. Even though Yu Lin Lei Clan took up a large area of space which was rather scenic, but if Mo Wuji fired the heavenly fire cannon, the whole place would turn to ashes without leaving even an ant alive. For Mo Wuji who was not willing to kill indiscriminately, Lei Clan¡¯s men gathering at the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall to offer incense was the best opportunity for him. Firstly, he would be able to eradicate the Lei Clan from its roots, and secondly, he did not have to kill those he did not want to. The Lei Clan could kill everyone in Tian Ji Clan, but he did not want to end up like them. ¡­ In the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall, there were at least over a thousand Lei Clan disciples gathered. With their clan head and head elder leading them, everyone was about to offer incense for the Lei CLan ancestors. "Clan head, we''ve confirmed that Rogue Cultivator 2705 is Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s disciple, Mo Wuji. He stood up for Hou Yucheng previously because of that." The short Lei Mang whispered in the ear of Lei Di, the Lei Clan¡¯s Clan Head. Lei Di¡¯s eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "Did you discover his whereabouts?" Lei Mang lowered his volume even further, "We don¡¯t know his whereabouts, but we¡¯ve already found some traces of him. He was from Xing Han Empire. Northern Qin was the Mo Clan¡¯s land, and they have always been the Northern Qin Prefecture Lord. In the end, Cheng Yu State Lord Situ Qian gave the Mo Clan¡¯s land to the Ju Clan. Mo Wuji returned there a while back to wipe out the Ju Clan and regain the land." "Very good, what¡¯s your plan now?" Lei Di nodded his head. A killing intent arose in Lei Mang¡¯s eyes, "We¡¯ll go to Northern Qin Prefecture¡¯s capital Luo An and kill a group of people there everyday until that guy appears." After that, he added on, "This guy had average talent, but who knows what kind of treasure he obtained, to be able to take the top rank of the Hundred Sect Alliance with the alias of Rogue Cultivator 2705. Whatever he got from Tian Ji Sect was also not something simple either." "Hmmm" Lei DI said, "Be careful, after the Lei Clan¡¯s memorial day, immediately take men to Northern Qin. I will send some people to keep watch outside Heaven Seeking Palace, and once he appears, we will know. My only worry is that the rumors are real, and Rogue Cultivator 2705 was taken by Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Ceng Houyi. If that is the case, we won¡¯t even get a share of the pie." "Clan Head, this guy is very cunning, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill a True God Stage expert to obtain 100,000 points, so the rumors might not be true. Even if they were true, wiping out Northern Qin would not be too much of a hassle. And should they be false, not only will we be able to obtain two styles of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky, we¡¯d also get the secrets he possesses." Lei Mang replied unabashedly. After that, Lei Di did not speak any longer, as this was obviously what he had prepared to do. The Yu Lin Lei Clan could be revived after declining for so many years because they killed without mercy. The number of sects and clans eliminated by Yu Lin Lei Clan was countless. As for rogue cultivators, Lei Clan killed even more of them. Hence, how would they even both about a prefecture full of ant-like mortals? It wouldn¡¯t matter much even if all of them were killed. ¡­ While Mo Wuji was calculating what time to fire his cannon, there was another group of people making their own plans. This group only had over ten people, and they hid in the opposite direction from Mo Wuji. All of their faces were full of killing intent and determination. Their leader was a youth only in Transcending Mortality Stage. He held a large sword in his hands, staring at the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall in the distance. "Senior Xingyun, when do we strike?" A youth beside the one holding the large sword softly asked. The youth replied in a low voice, "Wait for another half an incense¡¯s time, the Lei Clan¡¯s memorial day has just begun, so we¡¯ll start killing our way over half an incense later. By the time they react, we¡¯d have done enough damage. My Tian Ji Sect was wiped out by the Lei Clan, so even if I can¡¯t kill any Lei Clan experts, I¡¯ll at least kill a few of the weaker ones to take revenge." "To avenge Tian Ji Sect." The tens of people behind the youth exuded strong killing intent, and replied in unison. They did not plan to survive after this, and only aimed to kill some Lei Clan people to avenge the Tian Ji Sect. The only difference between them and Mo Wuji was that Mo Wuji chose to attack the Lei Clan¡¯s experts and men, while they chose to attack the women and children. ¡­ It was about time, and when Mo Wuji felt that it was so, he fed a laser shell into the mouth of the laser cannon, aimed in a direction, and pressed the button to fire. "Boom!" A bright light blinded everyone as it flew through the air, following which a earth shattering boom echoed out. At this moment, almost everyone¡¯s gazes were draw to Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s territory. Even a blind man would have seen such a blinding bright light and heard the deafening sound. Mo Wuji did not stay to admire the results of his attack. The moment he fired the cannon, he kept the laser cannon, turned around, and left. He had seen how impressive the laser cannon was before; anything that the laser covered would turn to dust. Even if the strongest in Lei Clan was a Nihility God Stage Level 9 expert, he would be blown to smithereens under this single cannon strike. As expected, the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall was reduced to a crater after his cannon was fired. The beautiful shape of the hall would only remain in people¡¯s minds from now on. Not even a scrap of the souls of Lei Mang and Lei Di, who were just discussing about wiping out Northern Qin, was left behind. Even Lei Guang, the strongest in Lei Clan, could only think of one thought, that the Lei Clan had offended a terrifying man, then he vanished from the face of the continent. ¡­ "What¡¯s going on?" Yu Xingyun was the first to stand up, as he looked at the crater where the Lei Clan Ancestral Hall once laid with a shocked expression. He had seen the cannon shot very clearly, and was very aware that not even the smallest insect would survive from it. "I understand now apprentice brother. The Lei Clan must have offended an expert, and this expert took advantage of the Lei Clan¡¯s memorial day to wipe out all of their disciples. This Lei Clan has really committed too many crimes, and now they¡¯re finally repaying their debts." A Spirit Building Stage youth stood up excitedly and exclaimed. Yu Xingyun also understood the situation, and he swung his sword, "Then what are we waiting for, let¡¯s kill our way over, and wipe out the Lei Clan completely. Leave no one alive, we¡¯ll finally avenge all out brothers and ancestors from Tian Ji Sect." "Kill¡­" Yu Xingyun dragged his large sword, and rushed towards the Lei Clan first. This was fated to be a night of bloodshed. The Yu Lin Lei Clan was fated to be wiped out tonight. ¡­ "Crack!" Both of Lei Hongji¡¯s legs broke as he lifted his legs onto the 100th step, which forced him to stay in step 99. At this point, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint what exactly gave him that feeling. The cultivators at the side saw Lei Hongji write down his name on the 99th step and leave the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Most of them sighed, as he ultimately did not reach the 100th step. Star King Mountain''s Defender Xu Chihuang sighed to himself too. Xia Mu could surpass other people of the same age, not because he was much more talented than others, but as the amount of cultivation resources he received was something that no one else could compare to. It could be said that his cultivation was made through the use of all those resources. It was his good fortune to be born in the Xia Clan. "Dean Bei, I also have another invitation, and this one is for you. I''d like to invite you and that Cen Shuyin from Heaven Seeking Palace who can use lightning attribute skills to head to Zhen Mo Continent. I¡¯m not sure if Dean Bei is agreeable?" After all of the people descended from the Heaven Seeking Staircase, Xu Chihuang suddenly asked Bei Suting. From Xu Chihuang¡¯s perspective, Bei Suting was about the same age as Xia Mu, and was much stronger than Xia Mu even though she cultivated in a place like the Lost Continent. As such, it was apparent how talented she was. On top of that, there was the Cen Shuyin who could use a lightning attribute skill which made a deep impression on him. Hearing that, Xia Mu¡¯s face turned black. Bei Suting and Cen Shuyin both did not appreciate his kindness, and Xu Chihuang still did not think about his pride as he invited both of these women openly. Bei Suting was also stunned for a moment. She naturally wanted to go to the Zhen Mo Continent, as she knew that she had to leave the Lost Continent to go further down the path of cultivation. Moreover, there were many geniuses from Heaven Seeking Palace going to Zhen Mo Continent, and she was concerned for them. She had offended Xia Mu previously, so who knew that Star King Mountain¡¯s Defender Xu would invite her himself. "Thank you Elder Xu, I¡¯m willing to go to Zhen Mo Continent." Bei Suting quickly replied, bowing respectfully. "What about Cen Shuyin? Why haven¡¯t we seen her?" Xu Chihuang did not really bother about rumors, hence he thought that Cen Shuyin was unhappy at Xia Mu and returned to the sect. Without waiting for Bei Suting to respond, a Sword Lake elder stepped forward to speak, "Over 10 days ago, Junior apprentice sister Cen was seriously wounded by someone outside of our sect, and she collapsed in the wilderness. When I passed by her, I quickly brought her back to the sect, and she¡¯s recuperating from her injuries as we speak. She will be able to follow elder to the Zhen Mo Continent." In reality, when the Sword Lake elder saw Cen Shuyin, it was right at the front door of Sword Lake, not outside of the sect. Other than being unconscious, she did not have nay serious injuries. However, he had reported her situation as such as he heard the rumors regarding Rogue Cultivator 2705 and Ceng Houyi. After he questioned Cen Shuyin, she revealed that she lost consciousness after seeing Ceng Houyi, so she did not even know who saved her." Regardless of who rescued Cen Shuyin, it was definitely not an enemy of Heaven Seeking Palace. He did not want to expose Cen Shuyin¡¯s savior, so he wove a tale to explain things. "Good, then bring her in, we¡¯ll leave now." Xu Chihuang did not even bother asking for Xia Mu¡¯s opinion and immediately gave the instructions. Inside, Xia Mu was enraged, but he dared not say anything. Even if he eventually became the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, a Worldly Immortal like Xu Chihuang would remain as an exceptional being. Chapter 246: Ism Here to Deliver Pills Chapter 246: I''m Here to Deliver Pills Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Heaven''s Gate Town. Situated in the periphery of Tian Ji Sect and because it was close to Ming Han Empire, this place had always been flourishing. Even though it was only a small town, it had a constant stream of cultivators travelling in and out. Additionally, with Tian Ji Sect¡¯s protection, this small town was about to progress and advance into a low grade cultivation city. However, this place completely disappeared like a bubble after the extermination of Tian Ji Sect. Tian Ji Mountain range consisted of many horse bandits. Other than these horse bandits, the commercial affairs that were often located at Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Ming Han Tian Shang Alliance were monopolised therefore, businessmen who wanted to trade here would simply be seeking death. Presently, a flying car magic treasure landed just outside of the Heaven''s Gate Town. Four people descended from the flying car and these four people were Pu Qian and co. who were simply following Mo Wuji¡¯s request to wait for him at the Heaven''s Gate Town first. However, after entering the Heaven''s Gate Town, they were dumbfounded at the sight in front of them. Heaven''s Gate Town was nothing more than a wasteland and there were even some corpses which were not fully decomposed lying on the streets. The once flourished small town had become a hellhole, gloomy and scary. "That group of b*stards," Sang Yiping clutched her fist tightly as she said in a serious tone. Pu Qian subconsciously grabbed hold of his mace and said in a low voice, "They are indeed a group of b*stards." The few of them remained silent because now that the Heaven''s Gate Town had turned out to be like this, how are they supposed to build it up again? Even if it was rebuilt, would people still dare to visit this place? After a few minutes, a mournful cry woke the four of them from their daze. A caravan was seen rushing over and behind this caravan was tens of horse bandits chasing with huge swords in their hands. A slightly slower girl, who was being chased, got caught up by the horse bandits and with a swing of the sword, the girl was instantly beheaded and her head rolled far away. "Those are the men of Ming Han Empire¡¯s 26th prince Bei Fangjian. What should we do?" Nie Zhengnong grabbed his long sword so tightly that the veins on his hand could be seen. Ming Han Empire¡¯s Bei Fangjian forcefully rented the Tian Ji Sect secondary peak and had been committing all sorts of crime at the periphery of Tian Ji Sect. Nie Zhengnong, who was a Tian Ji Sect disciple, was too familiar with such acts that he personally witnessed. Before waiting for Sang Yiping to say anything, Pu Qian sneered as he said, "What else can we do? Head senior brother had already instructed us to kill whoever we see." Sang Yiping¡¯s eyes turned red as she said, "We would of course listen to head senior brother to kill everyone we see." Without waiting for Sang Yiping and the rest to react, Pu Qian was like tiger chasing a herd of sheeps as he swung his mace with surges of elemental energy. These charging group of horse bandits were like dumplings being put into a pot of boiling water as they fell off the back of the horses. In about 10 breaths, these tens of horse bandits were completely annihilated by Pu Qian. The group of escaping businessmen were so frightened they decided to stop running. A middle aged man dressed in a brown linen robe walked towards Pu Qian and kneeled in front of him, "Many thanks immortal master for your life-saving grace." After witnessing the man kneeling down, the remaining businessmen fell on their knees in quick succession to show their gratitude. Even though there was still the pain of losing a family member in everyone¡¯s eyes, they didn¡¯t dare to reveal that expression now. Sang Yiping walked over before saying, "Everybody please get up." "Yes," These were all ordinary vendors and even though there was a cultivator who had advanced into the Transcending Mortality Stage, he was really just as significant as an ant in front of these true cultivators. "Where did you all come from? Don''t you all know that Tian Ji Sect has been exterminated? Why do you still dare to sell things here?" Sang Yiping asked a few questions in one shot. The middle-aged man sighed, "My name is Fang Zhangxu, we were originally businessmen from Ming Han Empire. After the incident at Tian Ji Sect, we hadn¡¯t travelled on this business route for over a year. We were hoping for some good luck when we decided to make this trip here this time round. We came together with tens of other caravans yet we never expected to be met with misfortunes so quickly. We came with about 200 men and now we¡¯re only left with over 50 men." There was still an even more important reason that he didn¡¯t mention. Ordinary vendors like them without the protection of an immortal master could only survive while living in the cracks. If they were to not do transnational business for a long period of time, they could very easily disappear out of the vast world of business. To be able to hang on for one year without visiting this route was already extremely impressive. Sang Yiping pondered before saying, "I am a member of the Tian Ji Sect and my Tian Ji Sect¡¯s new sect head has decided to rebuild Tian Ji Sect and naturally rebuild Heaven¡¯s Gate Town too¡­" Before Sang Yiping could finish her sentence, Fang Zhangxu¡¯s face revealed an astonished face and it was not only him but the remaining of them too. Pu Qian and co. saw and could only sigh in their heart because the majority of these businessmen had already been slaughtered and among them would probably be their family members who had been killed. Nevertheless, they were extremely pleased when they heard that someone was trying to rebuild Tian Ji Sect. It was evident that this business route was key to their survival because even without this business route, they would not be able to survive whether or not they were ambushed by the horse bandits. Under the shelter of Tian Ji Sect, they could at least continue living. Whether it was cultivator or mortal, survival was not easy. It wasn¡¯t easy for cultivators to find cultivation resources and similarly, it wasn¡¯t easy for mortals to find food and basic necessities to survive. "Thank you immortal master because we could only survive with Tian Ji Sect around. If we could be of any help for the rebuilding of Tian Ji Sect, please feel free to instruct us," Fang Zhangxu and the others kneeled down once again. "Senior apprentice brother Pu, how should we go about this?" Sang Yiping turned and looked at Pu Qian because without head senior brother around, Pu Qian was the strongest one around here. Pu Qian waved his hands and said, "Junior apprentice sister Yiping, you can make decisions on such matter as I only know how to fight and nothing else." Sang Yiping heard what Pu Qian said and then turned to Fang Zhangxu and co. and said, "Now that we¡¯ve killed so many horse bandits, it will be highly likely that there will be more horse bandits chasing after you for revenge if you all were to continue moving forward from here. I suggest that you all stay at Heaven¡¯s Gate Town for a few days to help us sort things out here in the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town. When our head senior brother arrives, we will discuss further." "We will follow immortal master¡¯s instructions," Fang Zhangxu and co. had no objections to this suggestion. Now that the horse bandits that were chasing after them were all exterminated, the main bulk of horse bandits would definitely send people to investigate on why they had not return. The moment the remaining horse bandits found out what happened, it didn¡¯t matter whether they moved forward or backwards because it would still be a dead end and they would all end up pleading for their lives to be spared. Fang Zhangxu said with a greater conviction, "Immortal masters, you all can leave the cleaning up of Heaven¡¯s Gate Town to us. We would definitely sort this place out and ready it for the rebuilding process." He was confident that the horse bandits would not let this matter drop and would certainly come back at them. These immortal masters should focus on dealing with the horse bandits and leave the matter of sorting the town out to businessmen like themselves. Sang Yiping nodded her head, "Please do a good job then. When the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town is successfully rebuilt, you all could choose a shophouse in town to set up your own business. This will be a gift from Tian Ji Sect to you all." Fang Zhangxu and co. nodded submissively as they really did not mind having a shophouse in the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town. Because if Tian Ji Sect were to rebuild the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town, there would still be horse bandits around. Hence, they knew they could make use of Tian Ji Sect to use this business route. However, they were initially not sure whether they could continue staying in the town. After majority of the businessmen boarded the vehicle to enter the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town, Sang Yiping continued to say, "Now that we¡¯ve killed those horse bandits, the horse bandits nest would definitely not give up. We must first strategise a plan to at least hold up till head senior brother arrives." Pu Qian did not mind at all as he said, "It''s only a bunch of horse bandits. If one comes, I will kill one. If two come, I will kill both and when head senior brother arrives, it will be our turn to go offensive." ¡­ In the plaza in front of the Heaven Seeking Palace Staircase, Lei Hongji¡¯s broken leg was recovering with the aid of the healing pills. He lifted his head to look at the Heaven Seeking Palace and he could feel the many surprised and envious glares. This made him feel extremely satisfied with himself. The pity was that something went wrong with the Heaven Seeking Board otherwise, he, Lei Hongji would have been ranked first. At this moment, a flying sword pierced through the air and was falling towards the ground. Only a messenger sword with no killing intent would be able to pierce through the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s mountain protection array. Therefore, this flying sword was evidently a flying messenger sword. Everyone saw the flying messenger sword falling into Lei Hongji¡¯s hand. Lei Hongji grabbed onto the flying sword suspiciously as he retrieved a short letter which caused his whole body to tremble. "Hongji, what¡¯s the matter?" Xu Chihuang, who had been concerned over the few geniuses, walked over as it was apparent that he was paying special attention to Lei Hongji. This lightning-type spiritual roots cultivator had given him plenty of surprises and he believed that this man would undoubtedly shine even brighter in Zhen Mo Continent. He had faith that this man could even obtained a ranking in the Universal Board. Seeing the Immortal King walking over, Lei Hongji hurried to bow to show his respect before bearing his pain as he said, "My Lei Clan had been exterminated by someone not too long ago and even the women and children were not spared." Xu Chihuang frowned slightly as he asked instinctively, "You want to seek revenge?" Lei Hongji took a deep breath before saying word by word, "I already know who my nemesis is but I shall head towards Zhen Mo Continent with senior and seek my revenge when I¡¯m back one day." He indeed knew who his nemesis was because it was written very clearly on the flying sword that someone saw the loose fish of Tian Ji Sect ambushing the Yu Lin Lei Clan. Even if he returned now, he might not be able to find these loose fish and even if he did find them, it would simply only be a waste of time. His instinct was that the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s special envoy would certainly not wait for him. Xu Chihuang nodded feeling very satisfied, "Very good." Finishing this sentence, he lifted his hand to summon a humongous flying ship and said to everyone, "Everyone please board the ship as we shall leave now." ¡­ Just as the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s flying ship was about to leave with the genius disciples of the Lost Continent on board, Mo Wuji had already reached the Fringe City, near the Formless Blade Sect. He only knew there was a Nine Moons Pill House in Fringe City but he had no idea where its headquarters was located at. Nine Moons Pill House¡¯s building itself was still there but Mo Wuji did not enter it because he saw that the building¡¯s name was changed. The original Nine Moons Pill House was now Jian Ting Pill House. "My friend, what pills do you need?" A shop assistant hurried over to ask as he saw Mo Wuji at the entrance. Mo Wuji clasped his fist, "May I ask where is the Nine Moons Pill House which was originally located here?" "Why are you looking for the Nine Moons Pill House?" This shop assistant revealed a vigilant expression as he sized Mo Wuji up. Mo Wuji laughed a little, "I am a pill refiner and I owe Nine Moons Pill House some Gold Forming Pills and I am here to return them¡­" "Gold Forming Pills?" This shop assistant shouted as this was an extremely rare pill to help a cultivator step into the Earth Realm. This pill was not something you could buy with spirit stones and he couldn¡¯t believe it when he heard that someone was here to return them. Chapter 247: I Have Another Name Chapter 247: I Have Another Name Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The shop assistant didn¡¯t take long to react as he smiled and said to Mo Wuji, "Pill master please hold on while I report this." The shop assistant rushed inside the pill house and within two minutes, a bald man hurried out with this shop assistant. "Dao friend, may I ask if you are the pill master who is here to deliver pills to the Nine Moons Pill House?" The man cupped his fist and asked Mo Wuji the moment he stepped out of the pill house. Mo Wuji nodded his head and asked with a trace of suspicion, "I am indeed here to deliver pills. I promised the Nine Moons Pill House some Gold Forming Pills and I am specially here to pass these pills to them. May I know who are you?" "I am Kang Huapei, the shopkeeper of this Jian Ting Pill House. Dao friend, please proceed in with me," The bald man invited him with a face full of smiles. "Sure, shopkeeper Kang please lead the way," Mo Wuji did not mind heading in as he extended his arm. Kang Huapei immediately brought Mo Wuji to the guest room on the second level and got someone to make a pot of spiritual tea before saying, "I have yet to inquire this pill master¡¯s origin and how do i address you?" Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, "When I was working with Nine Moons Pill House¡¯s shopkeeper, we never bothered about these formalities. I would like to trouble you to tell me where Nine Moons Pill House went and I will head towards there myself." Kang Huapei said awkwardly, "If I don¡¯t know this pill master¡¯s origins, I don¡¯t know what else I could reveal to you." Mo Wuji frowned momentarily, "I am merely a rogue cultivator and I have no extraordinary origins. It was through mere coincidence that I managed to befriend the shopkeeper of Nine Moons Pill House and then helped him to refine pills while he helped me in collecting spiritual herbs. As for the Gold Forming Pills, it was only after I had promised Nine Moons Pill House to give them that I managed to get my hands on it from elsewhere." After hearing Mo Wuji, Kang Huapei maintained his smile and said, "The person in charge of the Nine Moons Pill House here had offended someone else and was worried the other party might cause trouble. So he transferred this pill house to my young master instead." In fact, when he heard that Mo Wuji¡¯s Gold Forming Pills were retrieved from somewhere else, he began to truly believe Mo Wuji¡¯s words. If Mo Wuji were to say that he concocted them himself, he would never believe him. "Who did he offend?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask this. "It is the Yu Lin Lei Clan, a person called Lei Hongji from the Yu Lin Lei Clan," Kang Huapei said with a faint voice and even took a sip of tea after finishing his sentence. After realising that the Gold Forming Pills were not concocted by Mo Wuji himself, he began to take things more lightly. Yu Lin Lei Clan was previously only a low grade family clan and was considered to be nothing significant among all the other sects. However, after the appearance of the Lei Hongji, the Yu Lin Lei Clan naturally soared above the rest. One had to note that Lei Hongji was a top grade genius from the Great Evolution Sect and even had supreme grade lightning affinity spiritual roots. Putting these aside, there were even rumours that he had been selected to go to the Zhen Mo Continent. Mo Wuji looked at Kang Huapei¡¯s attitude and he knew that the news of complete annihilation of the Yu Lin Lei Clan had not spread to him here. "Who is your young master?" Mo Wuji asked yet again. "Quasi-Heaven sect, Jade Net Sect¡¯s legacy disciple He Jianting. Even though our young master did not have lightning affinity spiritual roots, he has a body tempering lightning technique which would increase his odds of victory when battling others," Kang Huapei said proudly. Mo Wuji instantly remembered the previous time when he met He Jianting from Jade Net Sect. He Jianting asked and offered him spirit stones to let him use the lightning tempering room but was completely ignored by Mo Wuji and from then on, Mo Wuji had offended him. This He Jianting was rather decent looking but slightly arrogant. Mo Wuji understood the situation very swiftly. Lei Clan must have found out about his relations with Nine Moons Pill House''s Zhen Shaoke and was constantly finding trouble with the Nine Moons Pill House. This He Jianting then decided to fish in troubled waters and took over Nine Moons Pill House. "Shopkeeper Kang, this place was not transferred voluntarily to He Jianting from the Nine Moons Pill House right? Could it be that the Lei Clan handed it to you guys after they took over this place forcefully from the Nine Moons Pill House?" Mo Wuji said while maintaining his composure. Kang Huapei laughed, "What¡¯s the difference, what¡¯s the difference? My friend here is a pill refiner and we are a pill house so if you could work with Nine Moons Pill House, I am sure it¡¯s the same working with us. We are coincidentally in need of a Gold Forming Pill so why don¡¯t you leave this pill here for us to help you sell? What do you think?" Mo Wuji stood up, "Since I¡¯ve agreed with Nine Moons Pill House, we shall discuss further after I find the Nine Moons Pill House." Noticing Mo Wuji stood up, Kang Huapei stood up as well to prevent Mo Wuji from leaving, "I already said that we could purchase your Gold Forming Pill from you and yet you still insist on leaving. Are you looking down on us, Jian Ting Pill House?" Mo Wuji laughed coldly as after this fella found out that he was a rogue cultivator, he was envious of Mo Wuji for having the Gold Forming Pill and was intending to purchase it forcefully. "It¡¯s not that I look down on Jian Ting Pill House but it¡¯s because this Gold Forming Pill was concocted with my own spiritual herbs. After arriving here, Nine Moons Pill House was going to give me the Gold Sun Fruit to concoct the Gold Forming Pill in exchange for it," Mo Wuji said faintly. The concocting of spiritual herbs of the Gold Forming Pill was the hardest because the Gold Sun Fruit was not something human beings could nurture; it had to be grown in the wild. Such rare herbs that were grown in the wild would always be sought after by everyone no matter how many there were in existence. Therefore, the Gold Sun Fruit was actually very valuable and was worth even more than some Tier 6 or 7 spiritual herbs. "What¡¯s the deal?" Kang Huapei asked instantly. Mo Wuji grabbed two jade vases and said, "I¡¯m willing to exchange one vase." "I do have one Gold Sun Fruit here," Kang Huapei took out the jade box while saying that and he even placed this jade box in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. Mo Wuji took over the jade box before opening it to take a look and Mo Wuji could feel an incredible surge of natural elemental energy. This surge of elemental energy was indeed emitted from the gold fruit. In actual fact, this was Mo Wuji¡¯s first time seeing the Gold Sun Fruit but he was confident that this was the real fruit. He kept the Gold Sun Fruit and threw the jade vase over to Kang Huapei before saying, "This is for you, bye." Kang Huapei caught the jade vase and even without opening it, he blocked Mo Wuji once again, "My friend, since you accepted the Gold Sun Fruit, please leave the Gold Forming Pill here." "Sure, bring me another Gold Sun Fruit," Mo Wuji said in a faint voice. Kang Huapei faced turned solemn, "Didn¡¯t I gave you one Gold Sun Fruit already? A sole rogue pill refiner dare to blackmail Jian Ting Pill House? If I don¡¯t get an apology today, you are not walking out of my Jian Ting Pill House." One moment he was talking nicely to Mo Wuji and the very next moment, he was fuming at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sighed at Kang Huapei¡¯s swift change in attitude and he was sure that they recorded the scene when he accepted and kept the Gold Sun Fruit. If Mo Wuji had words to refute against him, this recording would be revealed but if he didn¡¯t, then the recording would disappear forever. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue speaking about this incident but asked in a calm tone, "Was Jian Ting Pill House involved in chasing Nine Moons Pill House away?" Kang Huapei sensed that something was amiss because logically when a rogue pill refiner was under such threat, one should be so nervous that he would immediately stand up for himself. However, he didn¡¯t see any trace of nervousness on Mo Wuji¡¯s face. He hurried to retrieve the jade vase Mo Wuji threw to him as he was literally raging, "How dare you take the lowest quality Energy Condensing Pill to exchange for a Gold Sun Fruit? How dare you try and cheat Jian Ting Pill House? You are simply courting death¡­" He could not finish his words because Mo Wuji¡¯s hand was already grabbing his neck. "You¡­" Kang Huapei¡¯s whole body could not stop sweating cold sweat as he clearly saw that Mo Wuji did not have any spirituality around him and his cultivation level would definitely not exceed the Yuan Dan Stage. Kang Huapei himself was in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 7 and Jian Ting Pill House was owned by a Yuan Dan Stage expert. He couldn¡¯t figure out why Mo Wuji managed to get hold of him so quickly and why he had no strength to fight back at all. Mo Wuji¡¯s cold voice sounded off next to his ear, "Let me tell you something. Yu Lin Lei Clan had been exterminated by me so please don¡¯t use Jade Net Sect to threaten me. In my eyes, Jade Net Sect would soon follow the footsteps of the Lei Clan. Let me ask you questions now, if you were to give me one wrong answer, I will break your neck. Also, I have another name called the Rogue Cultivator 2705; I can even let you take a look at my contribution points token." After exterminating the Yu Lin Lei Clan, Mo Wuji came straight to the Fringe City. He didn¡¯t even bother changing his appearance so to Kang Huapei, he was simply just an ordinary looking middle-aged cultivator. Kang Huapei naturally didn¡¯t believe Mo Wuji when he said that he had exterminated the Yu Lin Lei Clan but he was afraid that he might lose his life in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. However, when Mo Wuji addressed himself as Rogue Cultivator 2705, he felt as though he fell into a ice cave. If other people claimed to have annihilated the entire Yu Lin Lei Clan, he would have thought that they were daydreaming but if Rogue Cultivator 2705 said he did it, then there was a high possibility that it was true. Who is Rogue Cultivator 2705? He was someone ranked first in the Hundred Sects Alliance Contribution Board with over 100,000 points. Just how many alien cultivators must you kill to achieve that? The next moment, he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token and confirmed that he truly was Rogue Cultivator 2705 and it was written clearly on the token that he had over a few hundred thousand points. The rumours must be fake. This was Kang Huapei¡¯s only thought in his mind was that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had never been brought away by the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s expert but managed to escape successfully. "Let me start asking you now and do remember that I do not have the patience to ask things twice. Firstly, other than the Lei Clan who came here to get rid of Nine Moons Pill House, did He Jianting and Jade Net Sect get involved in this?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was very low and after hearing Mo Wuji, Kang Huapei could feel that his neck was slightly loosened up as he hurried to answer in a trembling voice, "Jade Net Sect did not do anything but the young master did." "Second question, where did the Nine Moons Pill House move to and where is Zhen Shaoke of the Nine Moons Pill House?" "Senior, I really don¡¯t know about this. I had always have had full admiration for senior so I definitely would not lie about this¡­" Kang Huapei stopped talking suddenly as Mo Wuji crushed his neck. Presently, he knew that he wasn¡¯t strong enough to deal with Jade Net Sect and he also didn¡¯t have time to settle He Jianting too. After he successfully rebuilt Tian Ji Sect, he would naturally find Jade Net Sect to settle some scores. ¡­ Just outside the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town, Pu Qian and co. were confronted by hundreds of horse bandits. If not for the fact that Pu Qian and the three others were all at least Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators, the hundreds of horse bandits would have rushed towards them. Similarly, if there wasn¡¯t a Ming Han Empire prince in the opposition party, Pu Qian and co. would have rushed towards them. It wouldn¡¯t matter much for them to kill the hundreds of horse bandits but could they casually kill the Ming Han Empire¡¯s prince? Even the previous Tian Ji Sect was helpless in front of the prince of Ming Han Empire and even had to rent out their secondary summit to them. Chapter 248: Tian Ji Sect Sect Head Mo Wuji Chapter 248: Tian Ji Sect Sect Head Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The one who came was the 31st prince of the Ming Han Empire, Bei Tianyu, instead of the 26th prince. After hearing that his own royal brother had made fortunes here in Tian Ji Sect, the 31st prince simply couldn¡¯t wait to share the spoils. However, on his trip down from Ming Han Empire to Tian Ji Sect encampment, he heard that a few of his men were slaughtered by a group of immortal masters. He wouldn¡¯t let anyone off, even immortal masters, after killing his men. He literally gathered all the horse bandits that belonged to him and a couple of Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators to protect him along the way. "I give you all half an incense time to get out of the Tian Ji Mountain range. Otherwise, I shall not stand on any ceremony in dealing with you guys," Bei Tianyu seemed to know that Pu Qian and co. didn¡¯t dare to do anything to them and hence, spoke in an extremely disdainful tone. Seeing that Sang Yiping was still in a dilemma, Pu Qian couldn¡¯t help but say, "Why are you still hesitating? Let¡¯s just kill everybody." Nie Zhengnong, who was by the side, hurried to comment, "Senior apprentice brother Pu, it isn¡¯t because of senior apprentice sister¡¯s hesitation that we¡¯re not acting but because we¡¯ve heard that the Ming Han Empire has a True Lake Stage expert within them. They could even casually invite a Nihility God Stage expert to help out. On the other hand, you are the only one in Tian Ji Sect in the Earth Stage. We may enjoy ourselves slaughtering all of them now, but what would happen to us afterwards?" Pu Qian turned silent once again as he knew that both Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong were right. It would indeed be enjoyable to kill all of them now but what next? They came here to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect, not to kill a bunch of people and leave. "Head senior brother¡¯s flying ship¡­" Zhuang Yan suddenly shouted. "Haha¡­" Pu Qian laughed out loud at the sight of Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship because his heart finally felt at ease. He promptly knew the difference between head senior brother and himself. Before, when head senior brother wasn''t here, he was clueless as to how to manage the situation in front of him. Now that his head senior brother had arrived, he immediately found his backbone. It wasn¡¯t only Pu Qian but Sang Yiping and the rest also heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, these people in front of them were not frightening enough but they just didn¡¯t dare to act. "Prince Tianyu, I suggest we leave temporarily and discuss further after letting Prince Fangjian know about it," One of the Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators beside Bei Tianyu said worriedly when he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship. Bei Tianyu revealed a slight frown because he really didn¡¯t dare to act even if Pu Qian and co. refused to leave. They might only have had four people, but all four of them were immortal masters while they only had two immortal masters here. As for the level of strength of the immortal masters, he hadn¡¯t considered that because he was sure that if his side didn¡¯t make the move, the opponent wouldn¡¯t attack too. After all, he was a prince of the Ming Han Empire. Back then, even Tian Ji Sect didn''t dare to offend a prince, much less four lowly people? The flying ship landed outside of the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town. Then, Mo Wuji walked out of the flying ship and kept it. Pu Qian and co. hurried to greet Mo Wuji. Fortunately, there were very few people passing by Heaven¡¯s Gate Town and therefore, very few people here knew about the incident where Rogue Cultivator 2705 was brought away by Zhen Mo Continent expert. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have had the mood to confront these horse bandits. Mo Wuji already saw the ruins of the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town as he saw piles of human bones stacking up outside the Heaven Gate Town. The tens of battered businessmen looked nervously at the hundreds of horse bandits. "What¡¯s happening?" Mo Wuji asked Pu Qian and co. while looking at the hundreds of horse bandits. Bei Tianyu shouted, "Finally someone who can talk. I am Ming Han Empire¡¯s 31st prince, Bei Tianyu. This place is our turf so please leave here as soon as possible or you shall bear the consequences." Seeing that Mo Wuji owns a flying ship, he toned down on his choice of words as compared to before. "Head senior brother, this Bei Tianyu and the guy who rented our Tian Ji Sect, Bei Fangjian, are in cahoots. They are the heads of a horse bandit gang. These businessmen wanted to use this route secretly but were spotted by their horse bandits. There were hundreds of them, but now, only a few of them are left, thanks to the horse bandits. Because we reached out to help them, these businessmen offered to help us clean up the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town," Sang Yiping hurried over to explain everything to Mo Wuji. "Leave no one alive, kill them all," Mo Wuji said without any trace of hesitation. Pu Qian, who had been waiting for this sentence for the longest time, rushed forward to attack the horse bandits without wasting any time. Those two Transcending Mortality Stage cultivators were not a threat in front of a Yuan Dan Stage expert like himself. Hearing their head senior brother¡¯s decision, the initially worried Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong didn¡¯t show any hesitation too as they each drew out their spiritual equipment and charged forward. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t act because these worthless horse bandits were not worth his effort. "You are all crazy...I am the Ming Han Empire prince¡­" Just as Bei Tianyu tried to reiterate his status, Pu Qian¡¯s mace smashed through his brain. In just a short half an incense''s time, the hundreds of horse bandits, the two cultivators as well as that prince had been completely exterminated by Pu Qian and the three others. "Head senior brother, this is what I call enjoyable. How are we to achieve big things if we always hesitate?" Pu Qian landed right beside Mo Wuji after killing the most of the horse bandits. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "A mere empire¡¯s prince dares to threaten my Tian Ji Sect. Zhengnong and Zhuang Yan, the two of you stay behind to get ready for the rebuilding of Heaven¡¯s Gate Town. As for the businessmen, let them go out and announce the news that we¡¯re rebuilding Tian Ji Sect and that we need a large number of manpower. We will pay them handsomely through gold coins." "Yes, head senior brother. Do we rebuild Heaven¡¯s Gate Town just like how it was before?" Nie Zhengnong asked. Mo Wuji glanced at the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town in front of him and shook his head, "No, you only need to gather manpower, a massive amount of building materials and talented architects. When I return, I will pass you a design for you to build with reference to that. If you do not have enough gold coins, use spirit stones to exchange for more." As he finished his sentence, Mo Wuji took out a storage bag and handed it over to Nie Zhengnong, "There are 100,000 Earth grade spirit stones here and it will all be used for the reconstruction." Nie Zhengnong replied, "Head senior brother, we wouldn''t finish spending 100,000 Earth grade spirit stones even if we were to build a few hundred Heaven¡¯s Gate Town." Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Other than rebuilding Heaven¡¯s Gate Town, we have to rebuild Tian Ji Sect too. Therefore, you only have to recruit people and purchase the materials. If there are too many people interested, we could build a temporary encampment for them outside the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town. There was something Mo Wuji did not mentioned and that was that since he became the sect head of Tian Ji Sect, then the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town would become the biggest cultivation city in the Lost Continent. Additionally, Tian Ji Sect would become the greatest sect in the Lost Continent and it definitely wouldn''t be any worse than Heaven Seeking Palace. He wasn¡¯t implying that other cultivators couldn¡¯t do it but because there was no one cultivator like himself who had lived in the mortal world for over tens of years. Or rather, even if there was a cultivator like himself, he wouldn¡¯t do something so crazy like building a cultivation city. Therefore, it could be said that he was the only one who would do such things. Nie Zhengnong finally understood as he accepted the spirit stones indicating his conviction to do it well. "Head senior brother, so what will we be doing?" Seeing Mo Wuji gave both Zhuang Yan and Nie Zhengnong tasks to do, Sang Yiping asked. "We would naturally go and collect rental fees," Mo Wuji looked at the faraway Tian Ji Mountain range as he answered. The moment he reached, he fell in love with this place. In the middle of the continuous Tian Ji Mountain Range, there was a Tian Ji River flowing. From far away, the mountain range looked like it was wrapped with a silver belt; it was extremely beautiful. "Collect rental fees?" Pu Qian didn¡¯t understand his words as he asked inquisitively. Sang Yiping finally understood the meaning behind his words and asked in a hurry, "Head senior brother, are you saying that we go to the secondary summits owned by Ming Han Empire¡¯s 14th prince Bei Sen and 26th prince Bei Fangjian? Mo Wuji gave a slight smile, "That¡¯s for sure. After renting our Tian Ji Sect secondary summit for so many years, how can they not pay for their rent? Even if I want to recover these secondary summits, they still have to pay these rental fees." The 100,000 Earth grade spirit stones would never be enough for Mo Wuji to rebuild Tian Ji Sect which was why he would be collecting these extra spirit stones he required from the Ming Han Empire. The original Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head feared the Ming Han Empire because the original Tian Ji Sect was simply too weak as they were only a Xuan grade sect without even a True Lake Stage cultivator. It was different when Mo Wuji was in charge because if they were to anger him, he would never hesitate to annihilate the entire Ming Han Empire. Moreover, Mo Wuji guessed that Ming Han Empire would not have the time to deal with him now because their city was just destroyed by the alien cultivators and the rebuilding work would take at least a couple of years. These two years would not only be the perfect time for him to rebuild Tian Ji Sect but also the best period for Sang Yiping and the rest to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. "Head senior brother, how about the Lei Clan?" Sang Yiping didn¡¯t comment much about Ming Han Empire because she already had some understanding of Mo Wuji¡¯s character. Since he made his decision to offend Ming Han Empire, he would have had his own preparations to deal with the consequences. "From today onwards, Yu Lin will no longer have a Lei Clan. There is still a loose fish who managed to escape and his name is Lei Hongji. We will wait for him to return before killing him too," Mo Wuji answered with a lot of conviction. Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong heard Mo Wuji and blanked out momentarily and after they realised what was happening, they instantly fell on their knees facing the Tian Ji Sect. Foster father, elders of Tian Ji Sect, senior apprentice brothers and sisters. Tian Ji Sect¡¯s new sect head had finally avenge all of you. All of you can finally rest in peace! ¡­ Tian Zai Summit. It was one of the secondary summit owned by Tian Ji Sect. Because of the gorgeous design of this summit, even the main mountain, Tian Ji Summit could not be compared to this. Before the Tian Ji Sect was destroyed, Tian Zai Summit was even brighter and more vibrant than what it was now. If one were to stand and look at Tian Zai Summit from the outside, nobody would have thought that this was a horse bandits¡¯ lair. This place was built up by Ming Han Empire¡¯s 26th prince, Bei Fangjian. Over these years and through this private lair that he made, Bei Fangjian had made a huge windfall. Presently, there was a furious young man in a bright robe standing in the middle of this luxurious hall of the Tian Zai Summit. "Who allowed Tianyu to bring men to the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town? If anyone were to find out that a Ming Han Empire¡¯s prince actually brought horse bandits out to kill others, how will Ming Han Empire face the world afterwards?" Everyone in the hall was trembling and no one dared to murmur a single word. Bei Fangjian had an irritable temper as he would pull people¡¯s nerves out and skin them alive for no reason. It was a norm for him to kill any random person who offended him so much so that he would feel uncomfortable if he didn¡¯t kill a least a few people in a day. "Ming Han Empire will lose its body so who cares about the face?" A cold voice answered Bei Fangjian¡¯s question. "Who is it?" Bei Fangjian stood up as he saw two men and a woman walking in from the hall. He had no clue as to when and how these three people arrived. "Tian Ji Sect Sect Head, Mo Wuji," By the time he finished this sentence, Mo Wuji was already standing in front of Bei Fangjian. Chapter 249: A Different Sect Head Chapter 249: A Different Sect Head Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You¡­" Bei Fangjian was momentarily dazed when he heard ''Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head''. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji had already walked in front of him, he would definitely be infuriated. The good thing was that he managed to keep his cool very quickly and knew that he shouldn¡¯t be infuriated at this moment, "I am Ming Han Empire¡¯s 26th prince, Bei Fangjian. Even if you are Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head, you mustn''t barge into my hall so casually." Mo Wuji laughed and simply reached out his hand to bring Bei Fangjian off the ground before tossing him back down as he said, "Even if Ming Han Empire¡¯s emperor is sitting down here, this wouldn¡¯t be the turf of Ming Han Empire because this is the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Tian Zai Summit." Bei Fangjian barely managed to get up as he saw Mo Wuji already sitting on his seat. He was trembling in anger and just as he was about to call for his men, he could smell something stinky. As he subconsciously turned his head around, he saw both his immortal masters lying on the floor headless. The remaining soldiers were so shocked as they simply stood there motionlessly. Perhaps these soldiers were too confident in their immortal masters that they believed that as long as their immortal masters were around, they wouldn¡¯t have anything much to do. Bei Fangjian took a deep breath before cupping his fist towards Mo Wuji, "Since Your Excellency is an immortal master, why are you provoking my Ming Han Empire?" Mo Wuji laughed out loud, "What is a Ming Han Empire?" Bei Fangjian got stuck on his words because he realised that Mo Wuji thought nothing of the Ming Han Empire so why did he even bother using Ming Han Empire to threaten him? "What do you think?" Bei Fangjian couldn¡¯t wait to kill Mo Wuji but could only swallow his anger. He only had mortal roots so he couldn¡¯t cultivate but he had interacted with too many cultivators that he didn¡¯t feel anything mysterious about Mo Wuji¡¯s ability. Mo Wuji looked Bei Fangjian and asked, "Other than it being your hall, can you tell me what place is this?" Bei Fangjian had no idea if this fella was here to find fault with him and even though he had no idea why Mo Wuji was so daring, he could only answer honestly, "This is the Tian Zai Summit, a secondary summit belonging to Tian Ji Sect." "Great answer! Since this is the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s secondary summit, what are you doing here?" Mo Wuji used his hand to slam the table in front of him. Bei Fangjian replied, "Sir Immortal Master must have just arrived at Tian Ji Sect to not know the true reason. This Tian Zai Summit was rented out to me by Tian Ji Sect and everyone in Tian Ji Sect knows that." "Oh, so how much is the rent?" "Back then, the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head was very generous so he didn¡¯t specify any amount for the rent which meant that we could give any amount." "And have you paid any amount at all?" "Not yet." "Very good!" Mo Wuji slammed the table yet again, "The previous sect head was generous and allowed you to give any amount but you chose not to give any. The present sect head is no longer so generous and I am here to collect rent from you." Bei Fangjian asked surprisingly, "You... ask me for rent?" He had no choice but to swallow the words ¡®dare to¡¯ because the situation was clearly in the other party''s favour. Mo Wuji did not answer him but turned to Pu Qian, "Pu Qian, go on and kill everyone in the Tian Zai Summit, leaving no one alive. Oh yes, other than this respectable prince in this hall, leave another two men to help this prince dress up." "Yes!" Pu Qian then raised his fist in the air before turning and leaving the hall. After Pu Qian had left, devastating cries could be heard from outside the hall. The two guards who were originally standing by the side vomited blood without realising it. There were only two men still standing far away but both their faces were pale white and had yet to wake up from their shock. Up till now, Bei Fangjian finally realised what kind of man he was dealing with. Compared to the previous gentle Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head, this was a killing god who had no intentions to show any mercy. In fact, he was even more ruthless than the 26th prince himself. As more gut-wrenching screams could be heard from outside, Bei Fangjian¡¯s face turned even paler and his legs started to shiver. "Oh right, your younger brother who¡¯s name is Bei Tianyu has already been killed by myself," Mo Wuji commented faintly. This statement by Mo Wuji crushed any remaining hope left in Bei Fangjian¡¯s heart. Since this fella dared to kill Bei Tianyu, why would he not dare to kill him? "Immortal master...let¡¯s settle things properly. Whatever amount of rent you wish to collect, I will find ways to get it for you¡­" Bei Fangjian wanted to sound calm and natural but when he said this, it was anything but natural because even he could hear the trembles in his own voice. "That¡¯s more like it, how can you rent something without paying?" Mo Wuji was full of smiles as he walked down and said while walking, "Let me calculate for you. It¡¯s too troublesome to calculate the number of years you¡¯ve rented for so let¡¯s just charge you for one year." Bei Fangjian was relieved when he heard this because even if the rent was a little higher, he could still afford to pay for one year. "The rent shall be one billion gold coins¡­." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s price, Bei Fangjian heaved another sigh of relief because even though one billion was a terrifying amount, the fortune that he made over the past few years from destroying the homes of commoners was definitely way more than one billion. He shall accept it first before returning to Ming Han Empire to think of ways to deal with Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji paused on purpose before resuming, "one billion gold coins a day should be just right¡­" One billion gold coins a day? Bei Fangjian was completely dumbfounded because he wouldn¡¯t even need to fork out so much if he were to buy over this summit. "Immortal master, I can agree to this but I don¡¯t have enough gold coins," Up till now, Bei Fangjian¡¯s fear had already disappeared. The killing intent around Mo Wuji surged as he pressured Bei Fangjian and said, "How much can you fork out?" Without waiting for Bei Fangjian to reply, Pu Qian sounded out from outside the hall, "Head senior brother, I have killed everyone in the summit other than the people in this hall." Bei Fangjian let out a cold sweat as he hurried to say, "I can only fork out about 6 billion gold coins. This is all that I can fork out now so even if you were to kill me, the amount remains the same." Bei Fangjian seemed perturbed as he looked at Mo Wuji and instantly regretted his decision to rent this summit from Tian Ji Sect from the very beginning. "I shall accept 6 billion first. Following which, you can help me find people to offset the remaining amount you owe me. I need some architectural talents so if you find me too little people or non professional people to help me, that would not offset the amount you owe me. Can you do it?" The moment Mo Wuji finished speaking, Bei Fangjian bowed and said, "Immortal master, I can do all of it and I promise to complete the task immortal master assigned to me." Mo Wuji nodded his head and took out three pitched black pills before saying, "These are three pills concocted by myself and I will only give you the antidote when you arrive with the gold coins and people that I need. Don¡¯t forget that you only have three months and if you didn¡¯t send the required things over in three months¡¯ time, you need not send it anymore. Because you would have died a terrible death by then." Bei Fangjian heaved a sigh of relief because there were even Tier 3 pill refiners in his Ming Han Empire so why would he be afraid that he couldn¡¯t cure this poison? He hurried to answer, "I promise that immortal master will get what he asked for delivered to Heaven¡¯s Gate Town in three months¡¯ time." Mo Wuji laughed sneakily, "Do you know why I gave you three pills?" Bei Fangjian looked slightly lost as he stared at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji pointed to the remaining two guards behind him and said, "The other two pills are for the two of them and they are for you to experiment on your own antidotes. I wanted to tell you that if you consume any other antidotes, your whole body will fester and you will eventually die. I believe that after experimenting twice, you would not try the third time." Bei Fangjian started to let out cold sweat profusely as if Mo Wuji knew everything that he was planning to do. However, even if Mo Wuji was threatening him, he had to go back and try because he still had two experimental products." "I won¡¯t try any antidote because I will definitely deliver what immortal master needed and then ask for your own antidote," Bei Fangjian answered. Finishing, he immediately swallowed the pill and passed the two other pills to the two guards to swallow. This Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head was completely different from the previous so he dared not gamble using his own life. "Since this was the case, hurry up and get out of my sight," Mo Wuji said in a cold tone after seeing Bei Fangjian swallow the pill. "Yes, yes¡­" Bei Fangjin hurried to bring the two guards out of Tian Zai Summit in the shortest possible time. ¡­ After two hours, at another secondary summit of the Tian Ji Summit, Tian Chang Summit¡¯s 16 prince, Bei Wen scurried out of Tian Ji Mountain range with a pale face like the previous prince. As for his Ming Han Tian Shang Alliance, it was completely wiped out by Mo Wuji. "Head senior brother, we let this two princes off so easily, will the Ming Han Empire send their strong experts over to deal with us?" Sang Yiping asked as she saw how Mo Wuji let both Bei Fangjian and Bei Sen off for the gold coins even though he had killed Bei Tianyu. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Don''t worry, we would have more problems if we didn¡¯t let the two of them off. Those two are too afraid of dying so much so that they won¡¯t tell anyone else about the incident until they managed to find an antidote for themselves. In this period of time, we shall work hard for our closed door cultivation as I want to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage too." Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian were both ordinary mortals and if these mortals were willing to stay normal, they wouldn¡¯t have come up with things like horse bandits and business alliance. It was evident that they were not willing to be normal and only abnormal people would not be willing to die so easily. Therefore, he was not afraid of Ming Han Empire doing anything to them during this period. As for Bei Tianyu¡¯s death, it was to let Bei Fangjian and Bei Sen know that he could kill any prince as he wished. He was confident that Bei Fangjian and Bei Sen would try and cover this up and not leak this out for the time being until they managed to detoxify themselves. Tian Ji Summit, was the main summit of the Tian Ji Mountain Range and it was also Tian Ji Sect¡¯s base. However, the Tian Ji Summit presently was a wasteland and there were even marks of lighting bolts left behind. Even the main hall was destroyed beyond hope. Mo Wuji and the few others stood before the Tian Ji Summit, speechless. It was only after a while that Mo Wuji said, "I shall place this spiritual vein under Tian Ji Summit now and then install an energy gathering array. Pu Qian, go and take over whatever Nie Zhengnong was doing so that he could come back and advance into the Yuan Dan Stage before we move on." Mo Wuji had a lot to do because not only did he had to step into Yuan Dan Stage, he needed to help Nie Zhengnong and Sang Yiping to advance too. Concurrently, he had to plan on how to reconstruct Tian Ji Sect and Heaven¡¯s Gate Town as well as fixing up a huge defensive array for Tian Ji Sect. Chapter 250: Earth Realm, Absent Yuan Dan Chapter 250: Earth Realm, Absent Yuan Dan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations It was not far from Mo Wuji¡¯s expectations. Driving Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian away from the Tian Ji Mountain Range did not induce any revenge from the Ming Han Empire; things remained calm and quiet. With the help and support of the various businessmen, and with the power of gold, countless architects and construction workers streamed to Heaven''s Gate Town. The reconstruction of Heaven''s Gate Town began. Mo Wuji didn''t know how to design city blueprints but he had some plans. He only requested for Heaven''s Gate Town to be rebuilt along his plans. The new Heaven''s Gate Town was more than ten times bigger than what it used to be. From the exterior to the Heaven¡¯s Gate Plaza, the very best materials were used. Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan merely presided over the reconstruction but the real undertakings were left to the businessman, Fang Changxu. Pu Qian didn''t really care as to how Fang Changxu did things, as long as it followed Mo Wuji''s overarching plans. As for Fang Changxu, he really loved such a job. Compared to a travelling merchant, this job was much safer and his remunerations also increased by several folds. So he slogged to do this job well, in order to please the immortal masters of Tian Ji Sect. Mo Wuji had yet to start rebuilding the Tian Ji Mountain. He only planted the spiritual vein, installed an intermediate spirit gathering array before starting closed doors cultivation with Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong. This time, he would rush to the Yuan Dan Stage. Actually, when he opened his 102nd meridian back on the Heaven Seeking Staircase, he was already half a step into the Yuan Dan Stage. But thereafter, he was constantly occupied with sh*t and he didn''t have time to stop and cultivate. That''s why he was always stuck at the boundary of the Transcending Mortality Stage. Now that he had this temporary period of safety, as well as the help of a spiritual vein, Mo Wuji was resolute to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. Fetching his Immortal Mortal Technique manual, Mo Wuji circulated the elemental energy from his 102 meridians into the dense runes on the thick back cover of the Immortal Mortal Technique. The 102 meridians full of elemental energy flowed into the runes; the runes formed circulative circles which struck against one another. A familiar "hua hua" sound could be heard; this was the sound of the elemental energy activating the pages. Even though this was his second time, Mo Wuji was still a little emotional. He released his hands; the original thick back cover became a little thinner. Ten new pages appeared in front of him; these contained the methods and diagrams to advance to the Yuan Dan Stage. After calming his emotions, Mo Wuji started studying the circulation paths to the Yuan Dan Stage. One day later, Mo Wuji kept his Immortal Mortal Technique manual and started to madly absorb spiritual energy, charging into the Yuan Dan. This time, he didn''t even use Gold Forming Pills. The simultaneous absorption of spiritual energy from his 102 meridians was enough to form a huge spiritual whirlpool. This crazy pace of spiritual energy absorption did not require the support of Gold Forming Pills, it was enough to send him into the Yuan Dan Stage. If he still wasn''t able to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage, he had to start concocting Gold Forming Pills. "Boom!" The surging spiritual energy changed into elemental energy, following a certain circulation path as it flowed within his 102 meridians. Initially, those streams were like tiny ripples, but they slowly turned into violent waves. These waves flushed through Mo Wuji''s body, flooding into every meridian of his. Mo Wuji''s Extreme Mortal spirit ring within his body became clearer and thicker, the overflowing spirituality started to spill out of his body. However, Mo Wuji was completely oblivious of all this; he was fully occupied in the process of boosting his strength. In the two neighboring rooms, Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong were stunned. They were also in closed doors cultivation; with the help of the spiritual vein and the head senior brother''s spirit gathering array, their cultivation speed was already considered fast. If nothing went wrong, within the next three months, Nie Zhengnong was sure that he would be able to break through Transcending Mortality Level 8 and advance into Level 9. But now, they felt a refreshing wave of spirituality. As they cultivated in this mystical environment, they felt more clearly attuned to the Dao. This feeling made them clearer of the paths of cultivation. Their abilities soared by leaps and bounds, shocking even themselves. In a short month, Mo Wuji had yet to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage but Nie Zhengnong had already broke through into the Yuan Dan. He didn''t even use a Gold Forming Pill. Sang Yiping also advanced from Transcending Mortality Level 5 to Level 6. Another two months passed, Nie Zhengnong had advanced from Yuan Dan Stage Level 1 to Yuan Dan Stage Level 2. On the other hand, Sang Yiping had already charged to Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9. Even if Nie Zhengnong and Sang Yiping were fools, they would know that this was a rare opportunity. Their fast pace of cultivation definitely wasn''t solely due to the spiritual vein. More importantly, it should be because of their head senior brother. They could feel a mysterious vestige of the Grand Dao. This tiny vestige helped their cultivation soar crazily. "Kacha!" Three months later, that distinct Extreme Mortal spirit ring in Mo Wuji''s body suddenly shattered; a golden core the size of a baby''s fist floated within his dantian. There was a faint spirit ring orbiting the golden core, exuding strong waves of elemental energy. Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed his wild joy; he knew that he had stepped out of the Extreme Mortal Stage and entered the Earth Realm''s Yuan Dan Stage. Rich spiritual energy was still strongly swept into Mo Wuji''s whirlpool of energy. Mo Wuji knew that after forming the golden core, he would need to stabilize his cultivation. Several days passed. When Mo Wuji felt that his Yuan Dan [1] had stabilised, he tried activating his spiritual energy. The elemental energy in his body surged slightly and a strong force was released. This force gave Mo Wuji an incomparable sense of security. Just as Mo Wuji was about to sink into his wild joy and flurry, he suddenly heard a sharp "Kacha". Mo Wuji could distinctly feel it. His Yuan Dan had torn and a fracture had appeared on his Yuan Dan. What''s happening? Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with indescribable shock. Why did the Yuan Dan he painstakingly formed just shatter? He naturally knew that his Yuan Dan did not shatter because he was going to advance into the True Lake Stage. To form the True Lake, one must at least be in Yuan Dan Stage Level 9. He had just entered the Yuan Dan Stage and didn''t even fully stabilise his first level. How could he have reached Level 9? Mo Wuji''s mind was still filled with confusion when he heard another "Kacha!". His Yuan Dan had completely shattered. Did something go wrong with my cultivation? Mo Wuji soon came to understand that nothing had gone wrong with his cultivation. Because after his Yuan Dan shattered, it transformed into a violet colored emanation. This power contained within this violet emanation was actually stronger than when he used his Yuan Dan. This¡­ Even though this was his first time forming a Yuan Dan, Mo Wuji knew that when the Yuan Dan shattered, it would mean that the cultivation had failed. It definitely wouldn''t result in his power soaring. Mo Wuji tried to continue absorbing spiritual energy and he discovered that his speed of absorption was more than an entire fold faster than when he had a Yuan Dan. Following his large amounts of spiritual energy, a faint spirit ring formed around his violet emanation. Wasn''t this the Extreme Mortal spirit ring? After it shattered to form the Yuan Dan, didn''t it reform outside the Yuan Dan? His spirit ring had shattered twice in a row and had reformed once again, now around the violet emanation. The spirituality within it was clearly much more than before. At almost the same instant Mo Wuji''s Yuan Dan transformed into the violet emanation and formed a spirit ring, Sang Yiping had become more attuned to the true meaning of cultivation. At this moment, she broke through the Transcending Mortality Stage and arrived at Yuan Dan Stage Level 1, she also didn''t even use a Gold Forming Pill. Nie Zhengnong had also made a breakthrough, advancing into Yuan Dan Stage Level 3. But with this sudden breakthrough, Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong both discovered that their limitless cultivation speed had slowed down immensely. The feeling that they had grasped the Grand Dao of cultivation disappeared. Their speed returned to its original speed. Mo Wuji let out a long roar and directly charged out from the top of his room. He felt this urgent need to release the energy pent up in his chest and he couldn''t wait to slowly walk out the room. It didn''t matter that he didn''t have a Yuan Dan. His power was now in Yuan Dan Stage Level 1 and it was even far stronger than the Level 1 when he had an actual Yuan Dan. This was because his body had an additional violet emanation, and outside this violet emanation was a twice-mutated spirit ring. Mo Wuji sent a punch out. A huge rock more than tens of meters away was crushed into pieces by this punch. It was just a simple punch but Mo Wuji knew the difference between the violet emanation and a Yuan Dan. The Yuan Dan was strong, but there would be a limit where it would be exhausted. However, this violet emanation seemed limitless. Even if it was being used rapidly, it would quickly be replenished by his 102 meridians. Perhaps, it was when it was fully exhausted would it fully display the true difference with a true Yuan Dan. Furthermore, all this was just a surface level understanding. He even felt that this violet emanation would help him be more adept with the control of his skills. "Congratulations head senior brother!" Nie Zhengnong and Sang Yiping''s voices came. Mo Wuji turned to see the two and immediately knew that the two of them had advanced into the Yuan Dan Stage. He looked curiously at Sang Yiping and asked, "Yiping, Zhengnong was at Transcending Mortality Stage Level 8, which is not far from the Yuan Dan Stage. With the help of the spiritual vein, it''s still possible for him to advance into the Yuan Dan during this short period of time. But you were in Transcending Mortality Stage Level 5, how did form your Yuan Dan so quickly?" Mo Wuji was truly filled with questions. Sang Yiping''s talent was not bad but it was a far cry compared to the geniuses from the Heaven Seeking Palace. Even with the spiritual vein, she couldn''t have cultivated so quickly. In reality, Mo Wuji was intending for Nie Zhengnong to cultivate for half a year to advance into the Yuan Dan Stage. Unexpectedly, both of them had already charged into the Yuan Dan Stage. "Head senior brother, I didn''t only step into the Yuan Dan Stage, I''m already in Yuan Dan Stage Level 3," Nie Zhengnong said ecstatically. "What''s going on?" Mo Wuji was completely clueless. Even at his fastest, he was not as fast as them. Sang Yiping hurriedly explained, "When we were cultivating, we suddenly felt an explosive burst in our cultivation speed. Only when we both came out and discussed our experience, we concluded that it should be due to head senior brother. Head senior brother, are you really cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique?" Mo Wuji finally came to an understanding. From the looks of it, when his Yuan Dan shattered to form the violet emanation, some spirituality had dispersed and were felt by the two. "That''s right, I am indeed cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique. What a pity, if I knew about such results, I would definitely have called Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan over," Mo Wuji said with a tinge of regret. [1] The Yuan Dan can also be translated as the elemental core. Chapter 251: Rebuilding Tian Ji Sect Chapter 251: Rebuilding Tian Ji Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ming Han Empire capital, Da Ke. This city had been occupied by the alien cultivators before. Fortunately, the alien cultivators had designated this as one of their bases so Da Ke wasn''t really damaged. After a few months of reorganization, Da Ke had largely regained its former luster and appearance as an empire capital. After the Ming Han Emperor Bei Yingshang repaired the royal palace, the first imperial court meeting since the alien war was organised. As he saw the sparse numbers of princes and officials in the hall, Bei Yingshang''s face turned ugly. The alien cultivators suddenly descended upon Da Ke and the damages incurred by the Ming Han Empire was the greatest. The empire protecting sect, the Quasi-Heaven High Yuan Sect had been directly destroyed. A few True Lake Stage and a Nihility God Stage state protectors also lost their lives. "During this alien invasion, my Ming Han Empire suffered the most. Even though Da Ke has largely recovered, it''s still far from it''s previous glory. All of you are the backbones of my Ming Han Empire, do any of you have any suggestions?" Bei Yingshang''s tone was a little desolate. He wasn''t depressed over the destruction of the High Yuan Sect. With Ming Han Empire''s cultivation resources, he could still develop some Quasi-Heaven sects. However, he was worried that before the Ming Han Empire reestablishes its foothold, the neighbouring Tian Shang Empire and Chi Yang Empire might act against him. "Answering the emperor. During the recent alien invasion, our Ming Han Empire was the first to get hit. Within one to two years, we definitely don¡¯t have any means to recover. In order to safeguard our Ming Han Empire, I believe that the first thing to do is to find a Quasi-Heaven sect to be our empire protecting sect. Secondly, we must invest a large fortune to fortify our Ming Han Empire¡¯s army." An emaciate elder walked forward, took a bow and said. Bei Yingshang nodded, "Marquis Bi is right. It''s just that after this incident, the treasuries are wiped dry. We no longer have that much fortune." The shrivelled elder addressed as Marquis Bi answered, "The 14th Prince and 26th Prince have always been running a good business. It¡¯s even said that there had accumulated large amounts of gold that could be counted in the billions. At this time of Ming Han Empire¡¯s peril, the two princes should contribute to the country. Of course, at the same time, the states which have not been affected by the war should also support the country¡¯s reconstruction." No one else spoke up; in the battle between princes, it was better not to intervene. Bei Yingshang naturally knew about the fortune his sons made in Tian Ji Sect; he simply decided to turn a blind eye to their misdeeds. Now that he heard that the two had earned fortunes in the billions, he was instantly astounded. They had made so much money but they didn¡¯t even bother offering some to their old man. That¡¯s not right. "Man, call for the 14th Prince and the 26th Prince." Bei Yingshang did not hesitate to call those two princes over for questioning. Another minister stood forward and said, "Answering the emperor. Two months ago, the two princes returned to Da Ke once. They didn''t stay for long before leaving Da Ke. According to some intel, the two princes had hired large numbers of architects." In the Ming Han Empire, the princes could casually leave the capital city; they definitely wouldn''t face any restrictions. Bei Yingshang coldly snorted, "Immediately call the two back. The Tian Ji Sect has been destroyed and they will no longer continue with their nonsense." Hiring architects on such a large scale, in Bei Yingshang¡¯s perspective, was naturally because they wanted to convert the entire Tian Ji Sect territory as their own. However, this matter was clearly a ¡®no-no¡¯. Even though it was already destroyed, the Tian Ji Sect, ultimately, was still a sect. As an empire, they shouldn¡¯t casually stick their hands into such a matter. A middle aged burly man stood forward and bowed, "Emperor, I wish to report something on the Tian Ji Sect." Bei Yingshang looked at the person speaking and his voice turned slightly softer, "General Fei Zhen, please speak." Fei Zhen expressed his courtesies before saying seriously, "I believe that not only should we stop the two princes from heading towards Tian Ji Sect, we should also confine them. Our Ming Han Empire, also shouldn¡¯t express any interest towards Tian Ji Sect¡¯s territory." "Why is that so?" Bei Yingshang immediately furrowed his brows. The Tian Ji Sect was merely a Xuan sect and it was even destroyed by the Yu Lin Lei Clan. Why was there such a need for worry? Fei Zhen continued seriously, "I just received news that the Yu Lin Lei Clan had been destroyed not long ago. Not even the dogs and cats were spared. According to the rumors, it was exactly the Tian Ji Sect that destroyed the Yu Lin Lei Clan." "What?" Bei Yingshang suddenly stood up. Even though he was not from a sect, he was still a cultivator. He naturally knew how powerful the Yu Lin Lei Clan was. It was a power which was infinitesimally close to the Quasi-Heaven level. It was actually destroyed by the Tian Ji Sect? Even at its best, the Tian Ji Sect shouldn''t be able to destroy the Yu Lin Lei Clan? Unless the Tian Ji Sect had some hidden expert who just emerged from cultivation? After receiving the news of the Yu Lin Lei Clan destroying the Tian Ji Sect, this hidden expert went to take his revenge. Bei Yingshang finally understood the severity of the matter. If the Tian Ji Sect truly had such a strong expert, the next target might very well be his Ming Han Empire. The Ming Han Empire¡¯s two princes forcefully occupied Tian Ji Sect¡¯s secondary summits, how could the Tian Ji Sect ignore that? Moreover, these two fellas with sky-blottingly big balls were even currently going over to build over the Tian Ji Summit. If this expert heard about this, then the Ming Han Empire would be ruined. "Could the rumors be false?" Bei Yingshang no longer cared about other matters. If such an expert really appeared in the Tian Ji Sect, then there was another huge problem on their plates. Ming Han Empire was really being placed in a precarious position. Fei Zhen shook his head, "It¡¯s definitely true. During the Yu Lin Lei Clan''s memorial day, the Tian Ji Sect expert used a supreme grade magic treasure to blow up the Yu Lin Lei Clan''s ancestral hall. None of the Lei Clan disciples survived; they were all killed. Thereafter, the expert left and ten lower disciples of the Tian Ji Sect massacred the rest of the Lei Clan. Not a single child was left alive. Except for Lei Hongji who has left for Zhen Mo Continent, the Yu Lin Lei Clan is practically extinct." "Then Lei Hongji doesn''t know?" Bei Yingshang''s face had turned ugly. Fei Zhen continued, "Lei Hongji knows but he didn''t stay behind. Instead, he chose to leave the Lost Continent together with the Zhen Mo Continent experts. Perhaps many years from now, he would return to exact his revenge on the Tian Ji Sect. But that would be a thing of the future." Bei Yingshang no longer had the mood to discuss about state affairs, he immediately ordered, "Immediately send men to get those two fools back." ¡­ "Head senior brother, the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town actually became so beautiful?" Standing atop the flying ship, Sang Yiping stared down at the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town from above and was left speechless. The rough outline of Heaven¡¯s Gate Town was completed and it already looked incredibly spectacular and beautiful. Mo Wuji was also very satisfied. Even though the Heaven''s Gate Town wasn''t completed, the rough outline was already laid out. "Head senior brother!" The moment Mo Wuji''s flying ship landed, he was welcomed by Pu Qian and Zhuang Yan. "Eh, the two of you broke through to the Yuan Dan Stage?" Pu Qian looked at Sang Yiping and Nie Zhengnong and immediately exclaimed in shock. The higher Mo Wuji''s cultivation, the fainter his spirituality. Pu Qian was unable to see through his cultivation. Sang Yiping, "It''s all thanks to head senior brother. That''s how we were able to progress so quickly." Pu Qian did not think any further. He could also advance into the Yuan Dan Stage so quickly because of his head senior brother. "Head senior brother, Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian have arrived. They have been waiting here the whole time," Zhuang Yan said by the side. Pu Qian and Sang Yiping glanced at each other and their hearts were filled with appreciation. Head senior brother said that there wouldn''t be any problems in letting those two go. Now, it was truly as their head senior brother predicted. "What did they bring over?" Mo Wuji asked. These two returning had always been part of his expectations. He was mainly concerned about how many construction craftsman the two fellas brought. The reconstruction of the Tian Ji Sect would be far more complicated than the Heaven¡¯s Gate Town. "They brought more than 10,000 craftsmen, all of them are proficient in architecture. Additionally, they also brought more than 10 billion gold notes and some gold bricks," Zhuang Yan answered. Mo Wuji was content, "Call those two over. Also find the person in charge of rebuilding Heaven''s Gate Town. There''s something important I need to say." Not too long later, Zhuang Yan brought Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian, who were behaving obediently like little kids, over. The two already knew of Mo Wuji''s power so they rushed to bow and greet him, "Greetings sect head." Mo Wuji saw that the test subjects by the two''s side had disappeared and immediately knew that these two fellas must have gone back to test things out. As a result, their four poor attendants lost their lives. Mo Wuji could no longer be bothered these two fella but turned to the respectful Fang Changxu and said, "You''re in charge of Heaven''s Gate Town right? It''s been constructed quite nicely. I''m thinking of placing you in charge of rebuilding Tian Ji Sect, do you have the courage to do so? Of course, your remunerations would be ten times that of rebuilding Heaven''s Gate Town." Fang Changxu had already benefited a lot from the reconstruction of Heaven''s Gate Town. Now, the Tian Ji Sect''s immortal master asked him to rebuild Tian Ji Sect and the pay was even ten times what he got previously, how could he not be wiling, "Lord immortal master, this little merchant is willing. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m unable to find enough architects and might not be able to fully meet the demands of Lord immortal master." Mo Wuji pointed to Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian and said, "You just need to do things according to my requests. If you need any manpower, you can just ask the two of them. If you need any materials, you can get the two of them to buy it for you." With that, Mo Wuji retrieved two pills which he handed to Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian, "These two pills will temporarily suppress the toxins in your body for a year. If you perform well in this one year, I will help the two of you remove the toxins." "Sect Head Mo¡­" Hearing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t directly give them an antidote, but merely a suppressant, and even wanted to see how they behaved in the following year, the two were immediately anxious. "What, you don''t want it?" Mo Wuji said coldly. The two recalled the scenes of Sect Head Mo¡¯s slaughter back on Tian Zai Summit and Tian Chang Summit. Their balls immediately shrunk and did not dare speak another word of nonsense. They knew that any negotiations with this new Tian Ji Sect Head would not be possible and he would not even flinch if he killed them. "Zhengnong, you and Yiping are in charge of rebuilding Tian Ji Sect. I will be at the Tian Ji Sect''s main mountain. If there''s anything, find me immediately," Mo Wuji instructed. "Yes. Head senior brother can be rest assured, we will definitely follow your requests and rebuild Tian Ji Sect," Nie Zhengnong and Sang Yiping said as they suppressed the excitement in their hearts. Ever since their head senior brother came out with his plans for Heaven''s Gate Town, they knew that when Tian Ji Sect itself was rebuilt, it would be more than ten times mightier than before. After allocating the jobs that need to be done, Mo Wuji chose to go behind closed doors. He needed to continue studying his notes on Chu Xingzi''s Array Dao to prepare for a sect protecting array, and at the same time, raise his cultivation. After all he did not know the current capabilities of the Ming Han Empire, just like how the Ming Han Empire didn''t know the prowess of Tian Ji Sect. Chapter 252: Tian Ji Sects Secret Chapter 252: Tian Ji Sect''s Secret Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. With the promise of large amounts of gold, hundreds of thousand architects and construction craftsmen slogged day and night to reconstruct the Tian Ji Sect. After a year, Tian Ji Sect¡¯s compounds were thoroughly completed. In this one year, Mo Wuji didn''t cultivate but had spent all that time studying on Chu Xingzi''s knowledge of the Array Dao. By now, he could easily install ordinary intermediate grade arrays and could even forge his own array flags. He had also developed a rough outline of the sect protecting array. Just as Mo Wuji intended to leave and install the sect protecting array, Nie Zhengnong hastily came to find him. Mo Wuji knew that when he was behind closed doors, unless there was something special, Nie Zhengnong and co. wouldn''t interfere with him. Did the Ming Han Empire experts come? But that didn''t seem likely, Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian¡¯s poison had yet to be cleared. "Head senior brother, when the workers were mounting the 9th Tian Ji Pillar, we met with some issues." Nie Zhengnong had a strange expression on his face. "What problem?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically. He had personally requested for the nine Tian Ji Pillars. It was primarily to increase the sect¡¯s dignity and influence. Other than that, there weren¡¯t many other special functions. Of course, after erecting these nine Tian Ji Pillars, he intended to borrow the nine Tian Ji Pillars to conceal a deathtrap array. Nie Zhengnong said with a peculiar expression on his face, "We found the Tian Ji Sword. Because the sect is basically completed, after discovering this matter, I have already dismissed those architects." Mo Wuji startled and said urgently, "Wasn''t the Tian Ji Sword taken away by Lei Hongji? How did it end up in the sect?" He had thoroughly investigated on this matter. After Lei Hongji won the chance to go to Zhen Mo Continent, the Lei Clan renamed the Tian Ji Sword to Lei Clan Sword and bestowed it to Lei Hongji. Furthermore, this sword bestowment was held in Yan City Plaza and was spectated by many people. One could clearly see the degree of arrogance the Yu Lin Lei Clan had then. "It''s not the actual Tian Ji Sword, but a stone sword. When I first saw it, I felt that it was a little weird, so I didn''t have anyone touch it and specially came to find head senior brother for instructions," Nie Zhengnong said respectfully. Mo Wuji nodded, "Come, let''s go take a look." The two soon arrived at the place where the Tian Ji Sword was and Mo Wuji finally had a good look at this Tian Ji Sword. There was a stone sword at least tens of meters deep within the earth, half of the sword was still inserted on the ground. The entire sword was faint grey but a strong aura emitted from it. On the sword, there was a word that seemed to be formed naturally. Mo Wuji gave it a good look before discerning that it was the word "Ji". The sword handle was also different from other sword handles; it was slightly concave in the middle and there wasn¡¯t a sword pommel. Mo Wuji extended his hand to pull out the stone sword, discovering that not only was it lacking the sword pommel, it also didn¡¯t have a proper blade; the sword spine, sword edge and even the sword point was of equal thickness, with a few random ridge lines on it. This stone sword truly embodied the meaning of the phrase "A heavy sword has no edge". "The exterior of the stone sword is exactly the same as the Tian Ji Sword. I wonder whether it was something to do the actual Tian Ji Sword," Nie Zhengnong pondered. Mo Wuji went silent without a word; he slowly examined the surroundings of the stone sword. After some time, he suddenly jolted and stared at the ground where the sword was inserted in with disbelief in his eyes. He didn''t merely spend one to two days studying up on Chu Xingzi''s array notes, and he even recently went behind closed doors for a year just to research on Chu Xingzi''s knowledge of the Array Dao. At this moment, he actually discovered that this stone sword was like an array flag, and it seemed to be suppressing something. "Zhengnong, how many mountains are there in the Tian Ji Sect?" After clearly discerning that this was indeed an array base, Mo Wuji suddenly asked. Nie Zhengnong hurriedly answered, "Tian Ji Sect is situated in the Tian Ji Mountain Range and there are at least 100 mountains of varying sizes. However, after the reconstruction of the Tian Ji Sect, there''s only one main mountain and 13 secondary summits." Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with shock. It really was close to his estimations, there were really 13 secondary summits. If his hypothesis is correct, there might be 13 spirit locking arrays in the Tian Ji Sect, and these huge array must be suppressing an unbelievable spiritual energy. If that was the case, then it would explain why the Tian Ji Sect was surrounded by such beautiful scenes of nature, yet was so sparse in spiritual energy. "Which are the 13 secondary summits?" Mo Wuji asked in a solemn tone. Influenced by Mo Wuji¡¯s seriousness, Nie Zhengnong also started to feel that something was not ordinary. He answered in a single breath, "The 13 secondary summits are Tian Dao Summit, Tian Chang Summit, Tian Wu Summit, Tian Ming Summit, Tian Qi Summit, Tian Zai Summit, Tian You Summit, Tian Chuan Summit, Tian Gu Summit, Tian Zhi Summit, Tian Yu Summit, Tian Jiang Summit and Tian Hai Summit. These 13 secondary summits were named according to height. The sect head would typically stay in the main Tian Ji Summit, while the first elder stays in Tian Dao Summit and so forth." Mo Wuji slowly pondered over the names of the 13 secondary summits. After a whole incense''s time, he slowly muttered to himself, "The Dao is often nameless; like when a stream in the valley flows into the ocean!" (Dao Chang Wu Ming, Qi Zai, You Chuan Gu Zhi Yu Jiang Hai!) [1] When the names of the 13 secondary peaks came together, it was actually a sentence. Mo Wuji reflected on the meaning behind the sentence. The Dao does not have a real name, nor could it be simply described with simple words. It was present in everything that exists. It was just like an ocean; all rivers would eventually flow into the ocean, integrating into one natural entity. Mo Wuji had cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique up till now and had always followed according to this manual. He was always unclear and unsure of exactly how the Immortal Mortal Technique came about. Only now did he faintly understand something. Must one have spiritual roots to cultivation? With his mortal roots, wasn''t he similarly able to cultivate on the Dao? The Dao is in nature; The Dao is everywhere. Using meridians to cultivate was just one of the paths to the Grand Dao, and it was not something particularly amazing. Perhaps this path was suitable for him, but it might not be suitable for others. But everyone''s target was the same, that was to be one of the streams flowing into the great ocean. Perhaps there would come a day, where he could casually let any ordinary mortal cultivate and achieve the Dao. But of course, he might never be able to reach that day, or that day might never arrive. "I¡¯ll go take a look at the other secondary summits. You can send those two princes off." Mo Wuji retrieved two pills and handed them over to Nie Zhengnong. Nie Zhengnong knew about the situation with Bei Sen and Bei Fangjian and he hurriedly said, "Head senior brother, if we let them go, will we incite the wrath of the Ming Han Empire?" Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "Then let them come. Since my Tian Ji Sect chose to reestablish our sect here, then we don''t need to fear a mere Ming Han Empire." At the end of the day, the Ming Han Empire was still a country, and they couldn''t casually attack the Tian Ji Sect even if they wanted to. It was a great taboo for a country to attack a sect. Of course, even if they came, Mo Wuji wasn''t afraid. Now, his main concern was actually Honest Qi, that fella''s power should be at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. If that fella comes and attacks the Tian Ji Sect, it would really be a cause of fear. The laser cannon wasn''t omnipotent, that thing was ultimately different from cultivation levels. It would still be difficult to deal with a Nihility God alone, especially if the other party detects the laser cannon. But since he still chose to rebuild the sect, he will not be a coward. If even the sect head was a timid turtle, the sect would lose its essence and soul. "Heaven¡¯s Gate Town is back to regular business. The specific management of the town can just follow according to my instructions. At the same time, Tian Ji Sect can prepare to accept disciples. The few of you, Yiping, Pu Qian, Zhuang Yan and you would need to work hard for this period of time. I will go take a look at the other secondary summits and prepare the sect protecting array," Mo Wuji instructed. If his theory was correct, then the Tian Ji Sect was hiding a huge secret. This secret was an immense amount of spiritual energy, it was just that this spiritual energy was concealed by a huge array and had not been discovered. "Yes head senior brother." Nie Zhengnong readily answered. ¡­ An hour later, Mo Wuji appeared on Tian Zai Summit. This place was once forcefully occupied by Bei Fangjian. Now, Mo Wuji wanted to determine whether his theory was correct. After finding an approximate location, Mo Wuji started digging. In just two hours, Mo Wuji saw another stone sword. It was just as he predicted; this stone sword had the "Zai" word on it. There were indeed 13 spirit locking arrays. Mo Wuji did not bother checking the other secondary summits. He was sure that in everyone of them, there would be the same kind of stone sword. The Tian Ji Sect was still too weak; even if he wanted to release these 13 spirit locking arrays, he would need to first install the sect protecting array, recruit many disciples and set up the various naval cannons. His naval cannons were impressive, but there were limited cannon ammunition. The moment the ammunition run out, the cannons would be as good as trash. Moreover, Mo Wuji could faintly feel that these cannons should not be used here. These naval cannons were not made to deal with ordinary cultivators; they must have some greater purpose. To waste his cannon ammunition on a place like the Lost Continent, he might come to regret it in the future. After returning to Tian Ji Summit, Mo Wuji stood at the peak, staring down towards the spectacular Tian Ji Sect, his heart was filled with contentment. The Tian Ji Sect was completely built according to his plans. The Tian Ji River still circulated around the Tian Ji Summit like a belt of silver, passing through the several secondary summits. From the bottom of Tian Ji Summit to the entrance of Tian Ji Sect, there were a total of 999 steps. All these stone steps were made using the finest grades of stone. After climbing the stone steps, you would be welcomed by a huge plaza. This plaza wasn''t the Tian Ji Plaza but the Sect Protecting Plaza. Mo Wuji had installed a huge hidden garrotte array around the plaza. Traversing across the Sect Protecting Plaza, were three huge floating words "Tian Ji Sect". Mo Wuji had personally wrote them down and used an array to allow them to float in mid air. After entering the sect, there was a white jade stone road which was tens of meters wide, leading to the real Tian Ji Plaza. Across the Tian Ji Plaza, was the true Tian Ji Sect Grand Hall. Mo Wuji''s only point of regret was that the Tian Ji Sect''s foundation was too shallow; there wasn''t an Immortal Training Tower, nor was there a Heaven Seeking Staircase. However, Mo Wuji was already satisfied that he was able to rebuild Tian Ji Sect in a short one to two years. With the deep meaning of "The Dao is often nameless; like when a stream in the valley flows into the ocean!" in his heart, and his practise of opening meridians, perhaps he might be able to truly construct a cultivation manual upon the foundations of the Immortal Mortal Technique. This, this was where his true ambition lay. [1] A phrase from Lao Tzu¡¯s The Way (Dao De Jing) Chapter 253: The Ballsy Xuan Sect Head Chapter 253: The Ballsy Xuan Sect Head Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ever since the Tian Ji Sect was rebuilt, with the exception of the initiation of the new disciples, he spent the entire year tinkering on the sect protecting array. The only person in Tian Ji Sect proficient in arrays was him. With the help of an expert, he could only install the sect protecting array while he studied on Chu Xingzi''s notes. Because besides a sect protecting array, he also needed to install a grand spirit concealing array. Otherwise, the moment he releases the 13 spirit locking arrays, the rich, dense spiritual energy would be cause for covetion. Luckily, he had studied the array notes for more than a year, and he had already roughly installed the sect protecting formation. On this day, Mo Wuji had already arrived at Tian Hai Summit, the final array base for the Tian Ji Sect''s sect protecting array. He just needed to close this array base and the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect protecting array would be fully completed. When that happens, even if Honest Qi makes his way here, he would not be able to leave. Mo Wuji placed several array flags hidden within Tian Hai Summit. Following the insertion of the very last array flag, the sect protecting array started with a hum. The spiritual vein hidden under Tian Ji Summit surged with energy as the sect protecting array started to encompass Tian Ji Summit and the 13 secondary summits. "Boom!" The sound of elemental energy exploding ripped through the air, causing Mo Wuji who had yet to fully close the array to tremble in shock. Could it such a coincidence? He had just installed the sect protecting array and hadn¡¯t even fully closed this grand array but someone had come invading? "Bang boom bang!" An even more intense flurry of explosions could be heard. Following which, Mo Wuji could tell that it wasn''t a case of someone attacking the sect, but someone''s battle had encroached into the Tian Ji Sect. They were moving towards Tian Hai Summit as they battled. Intense bursts of elemental energy collided and exploded, shaking the entire sect protecting array. Mo Wuji stood at the top of Tian Hai Summit, observing the battle. He saw that the two were not using any flying magic treasures but they could fight in mid air for a good period of time and he immediately knew that these two fellas were Nihility God experts. As the two battled, they clearly saw Mo Wuji, but they treated Mo Wuji like air and continued on their rampant battle. Mo Wuji''s face turned ugly and he said loudly, "Two dao friends, this is my Tian Ji Sect''s territory. If you want to battle, please do it elsewhere." Even if his abilities were insufficient, he still wouldn''t stand for it if others were fighting on his territory. Furthermore, he now had his sect protecting array. With the power of the sect protecting array and his laser cannon, he did not need to fear these two fellas. "Eh, Tian Ji Sect? Wasn''t it destroyed by Lei Mang? Why is it still here?" Among the two battling, a long haired cultivator exclaimed in shock as he turned towards Mo Wuji. "Who are you?" Mo Wuji''s tone hardened. This fella knew that Lei Mang had destroyed Tian Ji Sect, so he was clearly acquainted with Lei Mang. Taking the opportunity where the long haired cultivator was talking, his opponent swiftly landed on the summit Mo Wuji was on. Mo Wuji retreated tens of meters, staring coldly at the man who landed on his territory. At this moment, his sect protecting array was fully installed. Even if his opponent was a Nihility God Stage expert, he had nothing to fear. Over the past year, he had installed various kinds of hidden garrotte arrays and deathtrap arrays, more than he could count. Once he activates the array, he would only need to trap this fella for a moment and he could eliminate that fella with a simple cannon. "You''re from Tian Ji Sect?" The man who descended on Mo Wuji''s sect protecting array scanned across Mo Wuji and the surroundings, and suddenly asked. Mo Wuji did not answer this fella but also briefly sized the fella up. This was a dhuta; this dhuta¡¯s face was a little pale and there was even fresh blood flowing from his waist. Ostensibly, he was injured and it wasn''t light. What shocked Mo Wuji the most was that in the middle of this dhuta''s forehead, there was faint outline of an eye. "You''re Heaven Seeking Palace Smith Summit''s Three-eyed Dhuta?" Mo Wuji immediately recalled what Sang Yiping mentioned about the Three-eyed Dhuta. Previously, he even intended to pay this person a visit, he could never have imagined that this fella would end up on his doorsteps. Before the dhuta could reply, the long haired man chasing after him also landed on Tian Hai Summit, the magic treasure in his hands hurling towards the dhuta. Mo Wuji was enraged; he lifted his hands and threw out several array flags. At the same time, he shot out multiple electroballs. The long haired fella chasing the dhuta was a Nihility God Stage expert. When he got trapped by Mo Wuji, he was instantly shocked. An ant that he did not even put in his eyes actually casually trapped him in an array¡­ What was going on? Immediately, he started to rage; an ant actually dared to act against a Nihility God Stage expert like him? If this ant thinks that this trap array could hold him for long, this ant must simply be dreaming. Unfortunately, he had forgotten that the dhuta he was chasing after was not much weaker than him. The dhuta had been pursued relentlessly for so long; the moment he saw that his opponent was confined in a trap array, he did not show any courtesy. He fetched out a huge fire pincer; within the fire pincer, there were two fire dragons, these two fire dragons flew towards the trapped long haired man and struck against his waist. "Boom!" Multiple huge electroballs landed on the long haired man¡¯s feet. The trapped long haired man had grabbed Mo Wuji¡¯s electroballs before they had even exploded, casually throwing them on the ground. However, at this moment, the dhuta¡¯s fire pincers had arrived. The trapped cultivator immediately got anxious; he could easily grab Mo Wuji¡¯s electroballs but he couldn¡¯t casually deal with the dhuta¡¯s fire pincers. "Pui!" Blood light flashed. At the trapped man¡¯s waist, two huge gouges of blood were formed. The man tried to rush and retreat, but he was actually burned by the fire pincer¡¯s afterburn, scorching away his arm. By this time, the man had already crushed Mo Wuji¡¯s array, turning his tails to rush out of Tian Hai Summit. Hoe could Mo Wuji just let this guy escape? The array flag in his hand swayed and another deathtrap formation confined the long haired cultivator. The dhuta naturally knew that this was his best opportunity. Grabbing his fire pincer, he charged towards the trapped man. "You dare? A tiny little Tian Ji Sect dares to trap me, Peng Jiqing? I¡¯m from the Great Evolution Sect¡­" The long haired man was truly anxious. He truly didn¡¯t expect for the tables to turn and that he would actually get trapped in Tian Ji Sect, this low leveled Xuan sect. "Pui!" The dhuta did not give him another chance, the fire pincer clamped together strongly. The Great Evolution Sect expert¡¯s top half of his body was cleanly separated. When Mo Wuji heard "Great Evolution Sect", his heart was filled with shock. The Great Evolution Sect was a sect on par with the Heaven Seeking Palace. Of course, this was on the premise that the old fisherman didn¡¯t reveal himself. However, that thought only merely fleeted through his mind before he chucked it aside. He had already declared that this was Tian Ji Sect¡¯s territory, yet that fella still chose to charge in. He would be stupid to just let that fella go. There was also this dhuta. Even though he was from the Heaven Seeking Palace, Mo Wuji did not plan to let him go. Using the opportunity when the dhuta was killing the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s expert, the array flag in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand swayed strongly. The surroundings started to emit crackling sounds, endless roars could instantly be heard throughout Tian Ji Sect and the 13 secondary summits. The expression of the dhuta changed immediately. With his experience, how could he not tell that he was trapped in a grand array? At this moment, Mo Wuji had widened the distance between him and the dhuta. If the dhuta dared to attack him, he would not hesitate to destroy him with a cannon. "Many thanks dao friend for your help just now. I am indeed Heaven Seeking Palace Smith Summit¡¯s Three-eyed Dhuta." The Three-eyed Dhuta was extremely straightforward in his speech. It was just that after he completed that sentence, he immediately coughed out a mouth full of fresh blood, his entire body trembling to the ground. Mo Wuji¡¯s guard went down; it looked like this fella was seriously injured. "Since you¡¯re from the Heaven Seeking Palace, you should know the rules. I have already warned that this is Tian Ji Sect¡¯s territory, why did the two of you still barge in to fight?" Mo Wuji asked expressionlessly. How could the Three-eyed Dhuta not know that Mo Wuji had already trapped him, and even widened the distance between them? All these were preparations to kill him. If he was not injured, he had the confidence that he could escape from this grand formation. He could even kill this Yuan Dan Stage fella before he escaped. "Dao friend can control the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect protecting array, clearly, your status in Tian Ji Sect is not ordinary. Could you let me meet the esteemed sect head?" The Three-eyed Dhuta did not resist, but clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said. Mo Wuji calmly replied, "I am Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head, Mo Wuji. If you have anything to say, just say it. There¡¯s no one else here." "You¡¯re the Tian Ji Sect Head?" The Three-eyed Dhuta looked at Mo Wuji in shock. Such a young sect head? And his cultivations is merely at the late levels of the Yuan Dan Stage? This Tian Ji Sect couldn¡¯t just be a Xuan sect right? But which Xuan sect would have balls big enough to deal with two Nihility God experts at the same time? The Three-eyed Dhuta started to question whether he still understood this world. He was different from others; he did not know about Tian Ji Sect. Before this, he also didn¡¯t know that Tian Ji Sect was a Xuan sect. "That¡¯s right. I am the sect head. You can direct any words to me." Mo Wuji did not mind, he did not intend to conceal his identity as the sect head. The Three-eyed Dhuta exhaled deeply, forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart before continuing, "Sect Head Mo, I wish to discuss with you on a particular matter. I was pursued by the Great Evolution Sect and I hope to recuperate here. Of course, as compensation, I will give you the price you are satisfied with. I¡¯m a peak equipment smith. If you need spiritual equipment, you can just ask me." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to reject him, "I¡¯m sorry, I cannot let you recuperate here. My Tian Ji Sect is a small sect now, and we cannot take the oppression of a huge sect like the Great Evolution Sect. You¡¯re from the Heaven Seeking Palace, why do you need to come to my little sect to recuperate?" The Three-eyed Dhuta sighed, "I was just a guest smith at the Heaven Seeking Palace. The Heaven Seeking Palace did not wish to offend the Great Evolution Sect so they had already abandoned me. I¡¯m naturally no longer a member of the Heaven Seeking Palace. No one knows about the matter of Gu Jiqing pursuing me. So if I don¡¯t mention it, even the Great Evolution Sect wouldn¡¯t know that Gu Jiqing had perished here." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding. This fella here was a useful expert. It would definitely be a great thing if he were to join the Tian Ji Sect. One must know, there was no expert in the Tian Ji Sect. Chapter 254: Hundred Sect Conference Chapter 254: Hundred Sect Conference Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he thought of this, Mo Wuji suddenly said, "If you wish to recuperate in Tian Ji Sect, it''s possible. However, you must join Tian Ji Sect. Or alternatively, you must at least stay in Tian Ji Sect for 10 years. During these 10 years, if Tian Ji Sect faces any attacks, you must help out. Of course, you must first swear a blood oath." After establishing a blood oath, one must fully accord to it. Otherwise, you''ll die terribly with your ashes scattered and soul destroyed. What completely astounded Mo Wuji was that the Three-eyed Dhuta did not even hesitate and say, "Alright, I agree. I, Xing Huang, swear a blood oath to remain for 10 years, to live and die with Tian Ji Sect." As he spoke, the Three-eyed Dhuta made a small cut on his forehead; a sphere of blood energy shot out as he began his blood oath. He did not even wait for Mo Wuji to speak a second time. Mo Wuji stared at the Three-eyed Dhuta in astonishment, contemplating whether he had made a mistake. Wasn''t this a little too easy? "Sect Head Mo, I''m already a man of Tian Ji Sect. What do you intend me to do?" Seeing the astonishment on Mo Wuji''s face, the Three-eyed Dhuta, who had already swore the blood oath, took the initiative to say. Mo Wuji regained his countenance then said, "Brother Xing, you''ve already sworn the blood oath so I don¡¯t believe that you would deceive me. But my Tian Ji Sect is merely a Xuan sect, what benefit do you have from staying here? And even 10 years at that?" Since Xing Huang had become Tian Ji Sect¡¯s man, Mo Wuji no longer had to worry about the cultivation difference. "Sect Head Mo, since you asked, I will tell you the truth. Initially, I planned to stay here and recuperate, and at the same time, charge up to the True God Stage¡­" "Brother Xing, you intend to charge into the True God Stage?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise. Xing Huang nodded, "I fought with that Great Evolution Sect fella exactly because of a Flower of the True Gods. He was also at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. So when he encountered a Flower of the True Gods, he naturally wouldn¡¯t let it go." Mo Wuji instantly frowned, "According to my knowledge, the Flower of the True Gods only appeared within the Five Elements Desolate Domain. You say that you and that Gu Jiqing were fighting over a Flower, how can I believe you?" Xing Huang laughed, "Because we were fighting since the Five Elements Desolate Domain." Raising his hand to stop Mo Wuji from interrupting, Xing Huang continued, "I heard that because of the Zhen Mo Continent experts, the Five Elements Desolate Domain has been completely opened, and there is no longer any restrictions. At this moment, the Five Elements Desolate Domain has become a mess and everyone wants to head in there to try their luck." Mo Wuji¡¯s eyebrows started twitching. He was clearly cognizant of the treasure trove that is the Five Elements Desolate Domain. His Tian Ji Sect had just been rebuilt and was at its greatest need for various treasures. Since the Five Elements Desolate Domain had been fully opened, his Tian Ji Sect must not miss out on this opportunity. "Of course, there is more to my explanation. You asked why I wanted to stay in the sect for 10 years. Initially, it was indeed because I wanted to recover from my injuries. But eventually, I really wanted to join Tian Ji Sect, because I suddenly recalled your name, Mo Wuji." When Xing Huang finished that sentence, he quietly faced Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji faintly laughed, "Brother Xing, if I¡¯m not wrong, we didn¡¯t even meet back at the Heaven Seeking Palace, much less interact. However, your words made it sound like you know me." Since Xing Huang had already mentioned it, it showed that Xing Huang already knew that he was once a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. Xing Huang nodded, "We¡¯re indeed not acquainted. But I do know a disciple who recognises you." "Oh, who is it?" Mo Wuji started wondering about which disciple in the Heaven Seeking Palace was actually acquainted to both Xing Huang and him. "She¡¯s called Zuo Shaoying. She was actually an outer disciple of the Sword Lake. I saw that she had a simple nature and she was a dilligent worker, so I got her as my helper. On that day you returned to the Heaven Seeking Palace, you must have met her. Even though she didn¡¯t follow you, she was observing you from afar. She saw that you had gone to the Heaven Seeking Staircase and waited there. She only left when the sun had came up. Afterwards, she noticed that a blank name had taken up the number one spot on the Heaven Seeking Staircase. If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, you should have climbed the Heaven Seeking Staircase, and you are the number one on the Heaven Seeking Board¡­" Xing Huang said with a serious tone. Mo Wuji immediately furrowed his brows. Honestly, the impression Zuo Shaoying gave him was extremely good. It was as Xing Huang said, she was a simple and dilligent girl. But when she revealed the matter of him ascending the Heaven Seeking Staircase, from a certain perspective, did not have any benefits to him. Moreever, they only encountered each other twice, why did she wait for him for an entire night at the Heaven Seeking Staircase? Xing Huang saw Mo Wuji¡¯s frown and laughed, "You don¡¯t have to blame her. When she returned, she didn¡¯t even tell a single soul. I only managed to get bits of the information out from her words. Eventually, she even said a few sentences to me, do you want to hear it?" Mo Wuji thought, with Zuo Shaoying¡¯s innocence, in front of a sly fox like Xing Huang, it was indeed impossible to hide the truth. Before Mo Wuji said anything, Xing Huang continued, "She said, she used to think that the two of you were the same; both of you were outer disciples, the same kind of people. However, after seeing you attain the number one spot from the Heaven Seeking Staircase, she knew that the two of you weren¡¯t the same. On the second day after you left, she also bade her farewells to me. She didn¡¯t even inform her sister as she left the Heaven Seeking Palace. As to where she went, I also don¡¯t know. According to the meaning behind her words, what she needed isn¡¯t cultivation, but a life which belongs to her." Mo Wuji sighed inwardly, hoping that this innocent girl could lead a better life in the future. Xing Huang did not continue speaking. He did not know the relationship between Zuo Shaoying and Mo Wuji so he maintained his silence. After some time, Mo Wuji asked, "Brother Xing, since you know that I¡¯ve reached the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase, why didn¡¯t you think that I¡¯ve some secret in me?" Xing Huang chuckled, "Everyone has their own secrets, I¡¯m no exception. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have become the number one smith in the entire Lost Continent." When he talked about being the number one smith, Xing Huang¡¯s tone with filled with pride. Clearly, he didn¡¯t think that anyone else could best him in the smithing arts. "Furthermore, I thoroughly understand the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Climbing to the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase signified the huge potential in a person, rather than a secret. Even if you have a secret, I wouldn¡¯t covet it. A person who didn¡¯t have his own pride would never be a supreme existence. It doesn¡¯t matter whether it is in cultivation, smithing, pill refining, etc." Mo Wuji attained the Extreme Mortal Stage; even though he didn¡¯t have a golden core, he did have a violet emanation, and this violet emanation was even being orbited by a spirit ring. He could clearly feel that Xing Huang¡¯s tone contained his own pride. This dhuta was telling the truth and wasn¡¯t lying to him. "Good!" Mo Wuji nodded. "Xing Huang, from now on, you¡¯re Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Left Defender. How about that?" Xing Huang bowed towards Mo Wuji, "Left Defender Xing Huang greets the sect head." Mo Wuji chortled, fetched a jade token, carved a line of words on it and passed it to Xing Huang, "Defender Xing, my Tian Ji Sect has just been rebuilt. So everything is still very simple. This jade token will be the Left Defender¡¯s identity token, I¡¯ll leave it with you." "Many thanks sect head." Xing Huang received the jade token. His heart still had a thought which he didn¡¯t reveal. It was already incredibly amazing for Mo Wuji to not only reach the Heaven Seeking Staircase peak, and even become a sect head at such a young age. What was even more incredible was this sect protecting array. From what he knew, even the sect protecting array of several Quasi-Heaven sects wasn¡¯t as perfect as the one at Tian Ji Sect. Furthermore, seeing how Mo Wuji controlled the arrays using the array flags, he was sure that this grand array was installed by Mo Wuji himself. Mo Wuji was such a young expert and was even a supreme array master. It would be total bullsh*t to even think that his future was limited. If he, Xing Huang, didn¡¯t tightly grab onto Mo Wuji now, by the time Mo Wuji develops, Mo Wuji might not even bother about him. Furthermore, he was merely at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. In the true continent of cultivation, even a cultivator at the Great Circle of the True God Stage did not count for much. "Alright Defender Xing. Now, I will help prepare you to take one step forward, to step into the True God Stage." Mo Wuji had always been a carefree person. When it was unclear whether a person was an enemy or not, he would keep his guards up high. But once he determined a person to be a friend, he wouldn¡¯t be stingy with his resources. "Sect head, you¡¯ll help me step into the True God Stage?" Xing Huang stared curiously at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji fetched a few pills and handed them over to Xing Huang, "You can administer these pills then follow me." "These are Tier 5 True Renewal Pills?" Xing Huang was a person who knew his goods. The moment Mo Wuji handed over the pills, he recognised them immediately. To a Nihility God Stage cultivator like him, these Tier 5 healing pills were all incredibly hard to get. "That¡¯s right, now follow me." Mo Wuji nodded, fetched out a flying car and headed towards Tian Ji Summit. "Yes." Xing Huang hurriedly swallowed those pills, traversing across mid air to follow Mo Wuji to the Tian Ji Summit. "What a beautiful sect." The moment Xing Huang reached Tian Ji Summit, he exclaimed in wonder. Even though Tian Ji Sect might not be the most magnificent sect, nor the most luxurious sect, it was definitely the most beautifully designed sect. Walking here gave one a releaxed and carefree feeling. "Head senior brother, the Hundred Sect Alliance has sent a message to the Tian Ji Sect¡­" Sang Yiping saw that Mo Wuji had arrived and hurried to greet him. At the same time, she passed a letter to Mo Wuji. That was when she saw the Three-eyed Dhuta behind Mo Wuji. She was different from Mo Wuji, she had seen the Three-eyed Dhuta once before. "Senior is¡­" Sang Yiping was instantly tongue-tied. To a Xuan sect like the Tian Ji Sect, not mentioning a Nihility God Stage expert, even a True Lake Stage expert would be a peak existence. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Yiping, Xing Huang will be Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Left Defender from now on. Xing Huang, this is Sang Yiping, she was the previous sect head¡¯s adopted daughter, she is also the hall master of the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Hall of Affairs." "Ahh¡­" This huge surprise shocked Sang Yiping out of her mind. With the Three-eyed Dhuta as a defender, who would still court death and attack the Tian Ji Sect? Xing Huang did not mind Sang Yiping¡¯s cultivation and smiled, "Greeting Hall Master Sang." Sang Yiping hurriedly bowed; ignoring the fact that the other party was a Nihility God Stage expert, he was also the number one smith in the Lost Continent. She could not take such courtesy. Mo Wuji had already opened the letter and roughly swept through it. He immediately asked in surprise, "The Hundred Sect Alliance is inviting the Tian Ji Sect to participate in the allocations of places into the Five Elements Desolate Domain?" Sang Yiping hurriedly said, "Yes, I¡¯ve went to research on this. It¡¯s said that the Five Elements Desolate Domain had been fully opened, and the Hundred Sect Alliance wants to restrict the number of people entering it. That¡¯s why they organised this conference. They have invited the top 1000 sects on the contribution points rankings and our Tian Ji Sect has been invited." Mo Wuji nodded; this conference was a must go, otherwise, it would be really hard to develop Tian Ji Sect. He immediately turned to Xing Huang and asked, "Defender Xing, how long would you take to break through to the True God Stage?" Xing Huang slighly pondered, "With the support of rich spiritual energy, then it might not even need a month. But without rich spirtual energy, it would be hard to tell." "Alright, choose a secondary summit to prepare for your advancement. I will handle the matter of the spiritual energy. After you advance, you¡¯ll follow me over to the Hundred Sect Conference." Mo Wuji decided quickly. Chapter 255: Opening Tian Ji’s Spirit Locking Array Chapter 255: Opening Tian Ji¡¯s Spirit Locking Array Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Sang Yiping saw the opportunity, took out a map of the secondary summit and handed it to Xing Huang. "Many thanks sect head, I shall choose the closest one, Tian Wu Summit. Since this summit is nearby, it would be convenient for us to work together in the future," Xing Huang took over the map and looked at the Tian Wu Summit. Seeing that Xing Huang had already chosen his secondary summit, Mo Wuji said to Sang Yiping, "Yiping, you can bring Left Defender Xing to Tian Wu Summit while I shall go ignite the energy gathering array to allow Left Defender Xing to advance into the True God Stage within a month." Mo Wuji believed that as long as he was able to provide dense enough spiritual energy, Xing Huang would never let this opportunity slip by. For a person like Xing Huang who hid at the Heaven Seeking Palace to help people forge equipments over the years because he was being chased, he must have been incredibly wealthy. And the reason why he wanted to become wealthy was so that he could prepare to break into the True God Stage and Mo Wuji guessed that he should have done his preparations since a long time ago. If Xing Huang had a Flower of the True Gods and was still unable to break into the True God Stage, it could be said that the chances of him advancing any further would be extremely slim in the future. It would not be a 100% success rate when one used a Flower of the True Gods to attempt to advance into the True God Stage. In fact, there wasn¡¯t even a 30% rate of success. After so many years of preparations, his rate of success would have been doubled and together with the increased odds of success by using the Flower of the True Gods, he should have a total of 50% success rate. If the spiritual energy locked in by Tian Ji Sect was enough to cover the sky, he could have an higher rate of success. "Yes," Sang Yiping answered without any hesitation. After waiting for Sang Yiping to leave with Xing Huang towards the Tian Wu Summit, Mo Wuji entered the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Grand Hall. After he knew about the Tian Ji stone sword, Mo Wuji asked Nie Zhengnong to create a path below the hall which would lead directly to the main base where the main spirit locking array was kept. After he pulled out the stone sword from the main base, he placed it back to its original position to continue locking the spiritual energy. As for the remaining 13 secondary summits¡¯ spirit locking stone swords, they were all pulled out and kept by Mo Wuji in his storage ring. Presently, he only needed to pull out this stone sword from the main base and he could activate all 13 spirit locking arrays. He had long analysed this Tian Ji stone sword and he had also analysed all the 13 spirit locking arrays at least once. Since he wanted to activate the spirit locking array, Mo Wuji would naturally not have any hesitation when pulling out this Tian Ji stone sword. "Boom boom boom!" A series of dull sounds could be heard from below his feet and simultaneously, Mo Wuji could feel that the place he was in was collapsing. Mo Wuji was shocked, could it be that the quality of my array dao was not up to standard? And I made a misjudgement? It would be a complete disaster if the Tian Ji Summit were to collapse just like that. They would become a laughing stock if something they spent so long to rebuild were to collapse so soon after. Very quickly, Mo Wuji knew that his judgement was not wrong as streams of extremely dense spiritual energy started to flow around the area. The indescribable extreme comfort made Mo Wuji almost felt as though he was holding onto a Heaven grade spirit stone. "Bang!" Mo Wuji was being practical and before he could react to this, the surrounding trembles were long gone. He was now by the side of a huge fog pool. Mo Wuji¡¯s sight fell on this fog pool and immediately took in a breath of cold air. The fog pool started to lift off into the air and the Nine Days Spiritual Veins were locked in by the array while half of it was being suspended in mid air. An endless amount of spiritual energy started to surround this area. How was this a fog pool, this was more like a spirit pool caused by the condensation of spiritual energy. Furthermore, Mo Wuji was certain that the grade of any one of the nine spiritual veins was much better than any spiritual vein he got from the Sky Sea Sect. In other words, if the spiritual vein he retrieved was a low grade vein, then this nine spiritual veins would at least be high grade and could even be supreme grade. Instinctively, Mo Wuji knew that this place must not be leaked out because the moment it was leaked out, even the Heaven Seeking Palace would attempt to snatch it from them. This was all along located here in the Tian Ji Sect so he had no idea whether the previous sect head didn¡¯t notice this place or that he noticed but dared not open it. Mo Wuji also realised how he could make full use of this nine spiritual veins. He could use this place for his closed door cultivation and even though the resources needed for him to advance would be incredibly scary, his pace here would certainly not be slower than if he were to cultivate in any other place. However, this nine spiritual veins must not be all opened for a long time and after Xing Huang broke through to the True God Stage, he would seal up these nine spiritual veins. He would at most leave the Tian Ji Summit¡¯s spiritual energy so that the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s disciples could cultivate to their hearts¡¯ content. ¡­ On the Tian Ji Summit, at the moment Mo Wuji opened the spirit locking array, everyone could feel the cultivation freedom that was similar to having a bath in a spiritual solution. It would be too silly of them if they were to not cultivate with such level of spiritual energy. The most surprised one would be the Three-eyed Dhuta, Xing Huang, who had just walked into the Tian Wu Summit. He guessed that Mo Wuji had helped him direct part of the spiritual energy over to him. With this level of spiritual energy coupled with the large pile of spirit stones that he possessed, he should break through into the True God Stage very soon. However, never in his dreams would he imagine that the spiritual energy Mo Wuji directed over to him would be this incredible. This extraordinary amount of spiritual energy almost made him let out a groan. Xing Huang was a supreme grade smithing master and he had seen quite a bit of the world too. Without mentioning the great density of the spiritual energy at the Heaven Seeking Equipment Summit, even before he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, the places he cultivated in were all treasured lands of spiritual energy. Over the years, Xing Huang had never seen such monstrous amount of spiritual energy until today at the Tian Wu Summit. The reason he decided to join Tian Ji Sect was because he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s potential as well as the fact that he was finding a place to hide himself. Of course, part of the reason was also because he felt Mo Wuji¡¯s menace. Mo Wuji helped him kill Peng Jiqing of the Great Evolution Sect without any scruples to show that he was afraid of nothing. Additionally, he believed that Mo Wuji had more tricks up his sleeves which he had not revealed. However, at this moment, he was extremely pleased that he made the right decision to join them. If he couldn¡¯t manage to advance into the True God Stage with such level of spiritual energy, he would really be a useless bum. Xing Huang cupped his fist towards Tian Ji Summit as he immediately started his spiritual circulation to break through into the next stage. He didn¡¯t even bother taking out the energy gathering array and spirit stones because the amount of spiritual energy here was far greater than the spiritual energy he could produce from his spirit stones. At this moment, even all the vegetation in Tian Ji Sect started to emit exuberant vitality. ... While everyone was in closed doors cultivation, Mo Wuji jumped straight into the spirit fog pool and begun cultivating. Even though he only just entered the Yuan Dan Stage, with such dense spiritual energy, he should be able to break into the next level again. The Hundred Sects Alliance was about to hold the Five Elements Desolate Conference and to attain victory for Tian Ji Sect, he couldn¡¯t afford to be weak. Within the fog pool, there was already a pool of spiritual solution and Mo Wuji was simply jumping into the solution. Even though he had not started his spiritual circulation, Mo Wuji could already feel the cultivation carefreeness. When he started his spiritual circulation technique, he could clearly feel something good moving fast and concentrated within his body. All 102 meridians underwent spiritual circulation simultaneously such that this terrifying amount of spiritual energy was almost whirled out of the spiritual fog pool by Mo Wuji. During cultivation, the most worthless thing would be time. Half a month just flew by and Mo Wuji had broke past Yuan Dan Stage Level 1 and advanced into Yuan Dan Stage Level 2. The spiritual energy flowing through his Dan Tian was even clearer than before and this brought along a seemingly endless amount of strong spiritual aura. Another five days passed by and Mo Wuji reached the intermediate stage of Yuan Dan Stage Level 2. Just as he was about to break into the later stage of level 2, a long cry disrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s concentration. Following which, Mo Wuji heard a series of thunderous sounds. Mo Wuji stood up and even though he had never seen anyone broke into True God Stage, he knew that that it was Xing Huang making use of the lightning bolts as he prepared for his heavenly tribulation. Additionally, he had seen a demonic beast done that back in the Five Elements Desolate Domain so he knew how scary this could be. Mo Wuji hurried out of the spiritual fog pool and because Xing Huang was about to overcome that catastrophe to advance into True God Stage, he had to go and take a look. Concurrently, he had to close up the sect protecting array to prevent the lightning strikes from destroying the array. ¡­ Tian Wu Sect, Xing Huang stood alone on the peak of the summit as he awaited the lightnings¡¯ arrival. "Kacha!" A light, fine sound could be heard and Xing Huang could sense that the surrounding sect protecting array was released. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he knew that the sect head knew he was about to overcome this therefore, intentionally removing the array. "Bang bang bang, ka!" A lightning bolt finally landed. Xing Huang didn¡¯t take out his magic treasure immediately but threw his fist at the lightning bolt instead. From Nihility God Stage to True God Stage, one would need to endure 59 lightning bolts. This first lightning bolt could not even be considered to be an appetiser and if he were to use the magic treasure from the onstart, how would he block against the remaining lightning bolts? "Bang!" The lightning bolt struck Xing Huang¡¯s fist bone and broke it in an instant as Xing Huang moved back several steps before swallowing a few pills. At the same time, another two lightning bolts fell on him. Presently, Mo Wuji had just reached the Tian Wu Summit as he joined in the crowd of disciples gathered to watch Xing Huang. Those with not enough determination would definitely not be able to continue cultivating at the sight of such a powerful lightning bolt. However, if the mind was fixed on doing something, even witnessing these lightning bolts would never waver his resolve. Mo Wuji saw waves after waves of lightning bolts and noticed that Xing Huang had already took out his fire pincers magic treasure to fend it off as his heart was even more excited than ever. Mo Wuji was not excited for the fact that there was a possibility that Xing Huang could succeed and then advancing into the True God Stage. Mo Wuji was truly excited when he could undergo the heavenly tribulation himself too. Such lightning bolts might be extremely dangerous to normal people but it was an opportunity he would never let it go to waste. Mo Wuji had long been toughened mentally and physically by lightning strikes hence, he couldn¡¯t wait for his turn to be in Xing Huang¡¯s place. "Bang bang bang!" This time round was another three and there was already a total of nine lightning bolts. The clash between Xing Huang¡¯s fire pincers and the lightning bolts resulted in a whole sky of flames and lightnings. Xing Huang was also forced into the deep pits by the lightning bolts and before he could crawl out of it, another series of nine lightning bolts struck. The unrelentless lightning bolts continued to strike the deep pit that Xing Huang was in and this made Mo Wuji extremely worried that Xing Huang might not make it out alive. Before this series of nine lightning bolts could end, another three more fell on Xing Huang. It was clear to bystanders like Mo Wuji that these three bolts were much stronger in terms of its energy than the previous nine. Mo Wuji was slightly relieved at the sight of two fire dragons cut out by the fire pincers being shot out of the deep pit. It seemed as though Xing Huang was still hanging on well. Before Mo Wuji could feel truly relieved, another six more thick lightning bolts fell into the deep pit. "Bang!" The electric discharges were overflowing from within the deep pit and Mo Wuji never saw the fire dragon coming out of the deep pit anymore. After these six lightning bolts, the sky above Tian Wu Summit became clear and the sounds of lightning were no longer heard. In fact, there was even a rainbow in the sky above in Tian Wu Summit. Was the heavenly tribulation over, or was Xing Huang killed? Mo Wuji hurried over to the lightning pit. Chapter 256: The Start of the Conference Chapter 256: The Start of the Conference Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Defender Xing¡­" Standing by the side of the huge lightning pit, Mo Wuji called out worryingly. "I am fine," Xing Huang¡¯s weak voice was heard and even though the voice was very faint, Mo Wuji could hear the excitement and happiness in his voice. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to help him up, Xing Huang had already sat up by himself. In the very next instant, an incredible amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by him and Mo Wuji noticed that Xing Huang¡¯s wounds were gradually recovering and his surrounding was bursting with spiritual aura. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go over to disturb Xing Huang as he went to ignite the sect protecting array once again before returning to the spiritual fog pool with nine spiritual veins suspended in it. He wasn¡¯t there to cultivate but to lock the spirit locking array. However, to allow Tian Ji Sect¡¯s disciples to continue cultivating, he ignited a spirit directing array just beside the main spirit locking array. He would be directing the spiritual energy to the Tian Ji Summit and for the rest of the secondary summits, their spiritual energy shall be temporarily locked up. Tian Ji Sect was still too weak so he couldn¡¯t simply let everything out especially for such monstrous level of spiritual energy. ¡­ Five Elements Desolate City was located just outside the Five Rings Desolate Domain. This was originally only an open air square-like transaction arena. This transaction arena was more like a huge plaza and surrounding the plaza were the huge sects¡¯ turf. The few opening ceremonies of the Five Elements Desolate Domain often resulted in this place become a crowd gathering arena. After the alien cultivators were chased away, the Zhen Mo Continent Experts opened a path from the Five Elements Desolate Domain to the Zhen Mo Continent. The Hundred Sect Alliance used the fortune collected from the alien cultivators to build a Five Elements Desolate City on this open air square in just one year. The breadth and length of the Five Elements Desolate City were about 100 miles each therefore, it shouldn¡¯t be considered to be a small cultivation city. The moment this city was built up, there were countless of business organisations and sects trying to fight to own the buildings and land here. However, these competitions were immediately restrained as other than some housing estates near the periphery of this city, the rest of the buildings and places with concentrated spiritual energy were all kept in place. The main reason why the Five Elements Desolate City was able to be built up was due to the fortune from the alien cultivators. Therefore, many big sects agreed that the city should be divided according to the results of the Hundred Sects Alliance Conference as they definitely should not forget about those sects who fought hard and contributed to the Lost Continent. ¡­ As the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference drew closer, there was an increasing number of people arriving at the Five Elements Desolate City. This was different from when the Five Elements Desolate Domain first opened because after the conference was over, there was no limit to the number of people who could enter the domain which meant that everyone would have the same opportunity to enter. There was even a Flower of the True Gods in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, not to mention the countless treasures as well as cultivation resources available inside. In fact, during the opening of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, there was a period of confusion in which anyone could enter the domain because of this confusion. Because of this, there were a lot of people who managed to bring out loads of treasures from within the domain. Therefore, nobody would object to having a conference like this Hundred Sect Alliance Conference. Today was the opening day of the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference and to convince all the sects as well as eradicate any doubts from the cultivators, this conference would be an open air style. The conference would be held in the newly built Five Elements Desolate City¡¯s plaza and there was a round altar for discussion in the middle of the plaza which was capable of holding a few thousand people. A sound amplifying array was installed on the round array as well such that any discussion made on the round altar could be heard throughout the entire Five Elements Desolate City. Any cultivator who was in the Five Elements Desolate City¡¯s plaza would be able to hear the contents of the conference. Even if one was not in the plaza itself, as long as he was in the city, he would be able to hear the discussions very clearly. Even though there was only a few cultivators in charge on the round altar busy working, the Five Elements Desolate Plaza was already filled with people who were all eagerly anticipating the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference. A path made of white jade stone stretched out from the entrance of the Five Elements Desolate City all the way to the middle of the round altar. The entire plaza was overcrowded with people but nobody dared to step on this path. Everyone knew that only experts or sect heads would be able to lay their foot on this path. It would be perfectly normal for an ordinary person to step on this path and get killed immediately. "Look, the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dean Feng is here," Someone from the crowd shouted in a low voice and the entire plaza turned quiet. "Beside Dean Feng is the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s dao gate¡¯s dao head, Qu Jiangyuan as well as the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s defender¡­" "The second to arrive is the Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Lord Jiang? Lord Jiang looks so young and was simply too stylish." "Who is the third one here? Looks like the Heavenly Temple¡¯s sect head." "No, that is the sect head of the Heavenly Drug Sect, Qin Fuyu. I¡¯ve heard that Lord Qin is not only a Nihility God Stage cultivator, he is also a Earth grade pill refiner and was said to be the first pill dao expert in the entire Five Big Empires. "The first pill dao expert? Ah, did you forget about the Heaven Seeking Palace pill pagoda¡¯s Granny Linglong? I¡¯ve actually heard that Granny Linglong was a Tier 7 heaven grade pill refiner. "I¡¯ve also heard that Granny Linglong disappeared after the war with the alien cultivators. Someone said that she was being chased by a True God Stage alien cultivator¡­" ¡­ Whether or not the cultivators by the side were discussing about the person, anyone who walked on this path would have to register their name and origins at the round altar. After registration, a person in charge would announce the person¡¯s name and origins to everyone. As time passed, more and more experts walked onto the round altar. Outside the Five Elements Desolate City, Mo Wuji brought Defender Xing Huang and the sect¡¯s Business Affairs Hall Lord, Zhuang Yuan into the city. "Hold on¡­" After walking to the entrance of the city, Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks as he saw a familiar backview flashing across the plaza. "Zhuang Yan, you enter the round altar to help us secure our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s position first. Remember not to position ourselves too far back because this could affect the benefits we could possibly receive. Defender Xing, you come with me," Mo Wuji said as he immediately squeezed through the crowd. If he saw any ordinary person, Mo Wuji would not have bothered to chase. However, he would never forget the back view of this person even if he was burnt to ashes: Jing Feilan, this vicious woman. Even though Yan¡¯Er eventually profited from a misfortune to be able to get her Five Elements Mutant spiritual roots, he had to fight so hard in the Five Elements Desolate Domain to be able to save Yan¡¯Er¡¯s life. This woman tried to transfer Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spiritual roots to someone else and now that she appeared in the Five Elements Desolate City, how could he let her off just like that? ¡­ "Zhuang Yan, what are you doing?" A sharp voice from the crowd sounded out and this caught the attention of the crowd. At this moment, the crowd saw Zhuang Yan walking on the white jade stone path and in front of the many experts and sect heads, Zhuang Yan was simply too out of place. Zhuang Yan subconsciously stopped walking as she saw the person who called out for her. It was Zhuang Jie from the Zhuang family and she was in fact, Zhuang Yan¡¯s cousin. There were two people standing beside Zhuang Jie, one of them was the man who set out to sea with her, Qi Wenxuan. The other was another member of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Yuantong who was Zhuang Yan¡¯s male cousin. Zhuang Yan saw Zhuang Jie and Qi Wenxuan standing together and she revealed a faint self-deprecating smile. Not only was Qi Wenxuan¡¯s qualification decent, he was extremely considerate too. Ever since he entered the Zhuang family, Zhuang Jie had already started chasing after him intensely. In the end, Qi Wenxuan preferred the kind and gentle Zhuang Yan and because of this, Zhuang Jie always pick on Zhuang Yan. . What Zhuang Yan didn¡¯t expect was that after she saw the true colours of Qi Wenxuan in the Sky Sea and eventually left him, this fella actually went back to the Zhuang family and ended up with Zhuang Jie. Even her cousin, Zhuang Yuantong was standing beside them and this made Zhuang Yan wondered how this fella won over the whole Zhuang family. One must know that initially other than Zhuang Jie and herself, the Zhuang family didn¡¯t really like Qi Wenxuan. Her parents once told her that if she were to stay together with Qi Wenxuan, she could never step back home again and the family would no longer have a daughter like her. Zhuang Yan shook her head as she was truly blind to like Qi Wenxuan and dear to not listen to her parents¡¯ advice. She no longer had the courage to face her family again. Previously, Zhuang Yan did not travel much, hence she was not very experienced. However, after entering the Tian Ji Sect, she had experienced almost as much as before. Without mentioning her head senior brother, Mo Wuji, even Pu Qian was many folds stronger than Qi Wenxuan. Seeing Zhuang Yan simply shook her head and continued walking towards the round altar, Zhuang Jie went crazy as she shouted, "Zhuang Yan, have you gone nuts? Do you know what you¡¯re doing? Hurry roll back down here! Are you trying to get the entire Zhuang family killed?" Even Zhuang Yuantong, who was standing beside Zhuang Jie, was frightened. Could it be that because Qi Wenxuan chose Zhuang Jie, Zhuang Yan wanted to seek revenge and get the whole family killed? At the thought of this, cold sweat was all over Zhuang Yuantong¡¯s back. Presently, Zhuang Yan had already walked into the round altar, no matter how daring he was, he would not dare to rush forward to pull Zhuang Yan back. "May I ask this guest to present her identity card?" The two cultivators guarding the round altar said politely even though both of them were suspicious of Zhuang Yan too but before they could confirm anything, they would not do anything to Zhuang Yan. The identity card was the blank white card given on the flying messenger sword. Tian Ji Sect was given three slots and as to who would be able to join, as long as the name was written on the card itself, it would suffice. Zhuang Yan took out her identity card and handed it over to the cultivator that was speaking and after this cultivator saw the card, he immediately raised his hand to direct her and said, "Hall Lord Zhuang, this way please!" After Zhuang Yan walked further inside the round altar, another cultivator shouted, "Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Business Affairs Hall Lord, Lord Zhuang, enters the conference." After hearing this announcement, not only were Zhuang Jie and Qi Wenxuan shocked, even Zhuang Yuantong was dumbfounded. Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Business Affairs Hall Lord? Wasn¡¯t Zhuang Yan just an abandoned woman from a small family? Since when was the change so drastic that she became a hall lord now? A moment later, Zhuang Yuantong became excited as a member of the Zhuang family had became a hall lord and was even able to enter this Hundred Sect Alliance Conference. Don¡¯t this mean that Zhuang Yan would have certain authority to get slots to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain? "Not possible, how is this possible?" Zhuang Jie finally reacted as she murmured to herself. Since young, she had always been ahead of Zhuang Yan in everything they did. The only time she lost to Zhuang Yan was when Zhuang Yan snatched Qi Wenxuan from her. Even so, she managed to snatch him back so what¡¯s happening now? Zhuang Yan became Tian Ji Sect¡¯s hall lord and even had the chance to enter the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference? How is this possible? Those who didn¡¯t know know Zhuang Yan personally were all secretly envious of her because she looked so young yet she was already a sect¡¯s hall lord. It was simply too infuriating if they compared themselves with her. Chapter 257: Move If You Dare Chapter 257: Move If You Dare Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Stop right there," Mo Wuji stopped someone on the street in the Five Elements Desolate City. As he saw the person staring at him, Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "Jing Feilan, you can remove the scarf on your face now. I am here to settle some scores with you." "It¡¯s you?" Jing Feilan evidently recognised Mo Wuji as her eyes showed flashes of astonishment before immediately recovering to her normal, calm self. Even though anyone could enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain now, she was quite impressed that a mortal like Mo Wuji was able to sneak in here. "Yan¡¯Er is already dead, you wouldn¡¯t understand even if I explain to you so move away now," Jing Feilan simply said one sentence as she reached out her hand to release a stream of wind. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t budge an inch as he opened his palm to catch and made the stream of wind disappear without any traces left behind. "What?" Jing Feilan exclaimed as she instantly realised that not only did Mo Wuji cultivated, he became an extremely strong cultivator too The second time round, she released a stream of elemental energy without holding back. A terrifying space of elemental energy flew towards Mo Wuji which startled him. Just from this second act, Mo Wuji knew from such a strong surge of elemental energy that Jing Feilan must at least be in the advanced stage of the True Lake Stage. "Boom!" Mo Wuji did not move at all and Jing Feilan¡¯s elemental energy was stopped in its track and then an even stronger elemental energy surged over and blew Jing Feilan away as she crashed into the stone wall at the side. "Puff!" Jing Feilan instantly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as she fell to the ground. Jing Feilan was dumbfounded beyond words as she slowly got herself back on her feet. She stared at Xing Huang, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, before saying with a trembling voice, "You are the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Smith Summit¡¯s senior Three-eyed Dhuta. Why are you attacking a small rogue cultivator like myself?" Jing Feilan was not able to tell the Three-eyed Dhuta¡¯s cultivation level but she was sure that he had to be at least in the Great Circle of the Nihihilty God Stage. "I am no longer the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Smith Summit Three-eyed Dhuta but Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Left Defender. No matter who you are, you have to be polite when talking to my Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head," Xing Huang snorted as he said in a cold tone. Jing Feilan was about to go berserk as her eyes fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, "You, how could you¡­" She didn¡¯t even dare to ask because Mo Wuji was only an ordinary mortal with no spiritual roots. How could he end up being Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head? Something¡¯s wrong, Mo Wuji grabbed my first attack so easily, how can a mortal do that? The killing intent on Mo Wuji was clearly evident now as he said with an even colder tone, "Now is not the time for you to ask questions. Count yourself lucky because I am just going to kill you today and not bother torturing you. As for the Supreme Sword City, I will seek my revenge soon." Mo Wuji opened his palm and a electroball came flying down. "Hold on¡­" Jing Feilan reached out her hand to remove the scarf on her own face. Mo Wuji was shocked as she saw the Jing Feilan in front of him, how is this a person? Jing Feilan had one eye dug out and her nose was half missing with countless of terrifying scars on her face. One look at this would make many shocked and disgusted. "That¡¯s right, Yan¡¯Er was brought away by me but I never ill-treat her at all. I was even preparing her to become my closed door disciple, to inherit my mantle. However, I was blind to have not know about the Supreme Sword City¡¯s brute acts. The Supreme Sword City was actually searching in the entire Five Big Empires for all sorts of supreme grade spiritual roots and then send to the Dong family to transfer their spiritual roots to their direct descendant. You have no idea how many geniuses died during the process of transferring their spiritual roots." After saying so much in one breath, Jing Feilan calmed herself down before inhaling a deep breath as she continued, "After Yan¡¯Er was brought to the Supreme Sword City by me, the animal from the Dong family found out and asked me for Yan¡¯Er. I naturally refused and I didn¡¯t expect themselves to snatch Yan¡¯Er away from me forcefully. After I went to reason out with them, I found out about their brute acts and was eventually held captive by them and tortured inhumanely¡­" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows as he asked, "Jing Feilan, since you found out about the Dong family secret afterwards, how is it possible that they didn¡¯t kill you? Are you trying to deceive yourself? Jing Feilan clenched her fist as she said with a coarse voice, "It was only because I knew of a extremely important secret. The Dong family wanted me to reveal this secret which was why I wasn¡¯t instantly killed by them. It was only during the war with the alien cultivators that I managed to escape out. Until now, I finally understood why the Supreme Sword City wanted to make me one of the lords of the three big deputy cities." As she finished her sentence, Jing Feilan used one eye to stare calmly at Mo Wuji, "If you kill me, I wouldn¡¯t blame you because I do look down on mortals. Back then, when you were still a mortal, I thought that you might affect Yan¡¯Er¡¯s cultivation. Perhaps it was misjudgement on my part because you actually became a sect head now. However, if you were to kill me because you think I am the reason for Yan¡¯Er¡¯s death, I¡¯m not willing to resign to this fate. It¡¯s not because I am afraid of death, it¡¯s because I want to seek revenge. After I avenge Yan¡¯Er by killing the brute from the Supreme Sword City, I would have no regrets even if you kill me, Jing Feilan, however you wish. Also, it was the young lord of the Supreme Sword City, Dong Lun, who wanted Yan¡¯Er¡¯s spiritual roots¡­" "Dong Lun has been killed by me," Mo Wuji said with a poker face as the killing intent he had in his heart for Jing Feilan reduced. The main reason was because Yan¡¯Er was alright and perhaps because it wasn¡¯t Jing Feilan¡¯s intent to help the Supreme Sword City collect the supreme grade spiritual roots and that she was a victim like the rest. There was a flash of astonishment in Jing Feilan¡¯s eyes before she suddenly said, "So Dong Lun was killed by you." After Dong Lun¡¯s death, the Supreme Sword City went insane trying to find the murderer. Jing Feilan was hiding in the dark so she naturally knew about Dong Lun¡¯s death. "You can leave now. With one eye dug up, I hope that you won¡¯t be as blind when looking with your other eye. If you talked to me nicely back then, I might be willing to let Yan¡¯Er be your disciple. This is not how you should talk to others. Don¡¯t always think that you¡¯re high above the rest because when you do this, you are also just like an ant in other stronger people¡¯s eyes," Mo Wuji waved his hand as he was not in the mood to kill a woman like her. "Sect head Mo, I know you wish to kill the Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong family to avenge Yan¡¯Er because I want to avenge Yan¡¯Er as well as the few other disciples like myself too. So please let me join your Tian Ji Sect and after I kill the Dong family, you are free to cut me up or kill me," What Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t expecting was that Jing Feilan didn¡¯t leave immediately and actually requested to join his Tian Ji Sect. After all these years, Jing Feilan knew very clearly that the chances of successfully seeking her revenge would be too low if she were to only depend on her own ability. It would be an impossible dream for her to use help from other sects or clans to help her seek revenge because there was no one sect who would clash head to head against the Supreme Sword City for a random woman like herself. Mo Wuji asked curiously, "The few other disciples?" Jing Feilan said in a serious tone, "That¡¯s right, after I found out about their despicable acts, they didn¡¯t only lock me up but my few other disciples too. They used my disciples¡¯ spiritual roots to experiment on the spiritual roots transfer. My few disciples had at most top grade spiritual roots only, these b*stards¡­" As Jing Feilan spoke, she clenched her fist so hard there was traces of blood on her palm. This Dong Clan of the Supreme Sword City were really too inhumane, the killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes grew stronger, "Since this was the case, you follow me into the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference. Of course, this is provided that you dare to come with me." Jing Feilan laughed miserably, "Is there anything that I dare not do now?" ¡­ On the round altar in the middle of the Five Elements Desolate City plaza, Zhuang Yan suddenly recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s words to find an eye-catching position to secure. This conference could directly affect the future progress of the Tian Ji Sect so they must not sit at a unfavourable spot. The seats were position to form a circle in the round altar and in the middle were the Heaven Seeking Palace, Great Evolution Sect and about five to six more top grade sects. The people in charge of the Hundred Sect Alliance were also sitting in the middle. However ignorant Zhuang Yan was, she also knew that these were not the positions she could sit on. Even though Tian Ji Sect had a Left Defender, they were ultimately still a Xuan grade sect. Other than these positions, the next best position was the first row closest to the middle. Currently, the first row was already almost filled up as Zhuang Yan hurried over to the box and secured it. There were four seats on each of these boxes with two in front and two at the back which represented the presence of a sect. Just as Zhuang Yan sat down, the remaining first row boxes were immediately occupied by the other sects. "Move away, go sit at the back. Don¡¯t you know the rules? Did you see any sects of grades lower than the Quasi-Heaven sitting in the first row?" A cold, firm voice was heard beside Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan lifted her head and saw a tall built, malicious looking man. "Are there any rules saying that the first row could only be occupied by Quasi-Heaven sects only?" Even though Zhuang Yan was feeling a little perturbed, she didn¡¯t stand up to make way for him. After spending enough time with Mo Wuji, her character had changed to become more like his. If it was before she joined Tian Ji Sect, she would have already stood up and letting him take the position. Or rather, she wouldn¡¯t even have chosen to sit in the first row. "Why? Do you need me to do something to you?" This malicious looking man started to look even more serious as he only just found out that there was only one Xuan sect occupying the first row. "What¡¯s happening?" One of the cultivators in charge hurried over. The malicious looking man immediately clasped his fist and said, "I am a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace, Dong Mingzi. I am representing the Supreme Sword City to participate in this Hundred Sect Alliance Conference however, this person is sitting on this spot when she is only a representative of a Xuan sect." Dong Mingzi came late only because he initially saw Jing Feilan¡¯s backview and went to chase after her to no avail. The cultivator in charge heard that Dong Mingzi was from the Supreme Sword City and was even a disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace so he said while feeling slightly troubled, "Hall Lord Zhuang, I am the deacon of this conference, may I ask you to give some face and move slightly to the back?" Zhuang Yan turned her head to glance at the back as she noticed the back few rows were all occupied. If she were to give this seat up, she would probably have to sit all the way to the back which was too far away from head senior brother¡¯s instruction. Head senior brother finally gave her a task so she must not disappoint him. "Apologies, Mister Deacon. This is all about first come first serve and since I, Tian Ji Sect, was here first, there is no reason for us to give it up," Zhuang Yan said while being neither haughty nor humble. Because of the sound amplifying array in the plaza, everyone¡¯s attention landed on the discussion round altar where a hall lord of a Xuan sect was verbally fighting with the Quasi-Heaven Supreme Sword City for the seat. "If you still refuse to budge, don¡¯t blame me for acting on you," Dong Mingzi said with a slight killing intent as he saw Zhuang Yan¡¯s reluctance to show face. If this wasn¡¯t the conference, he would have acted a long time ago. "The scum of the Dong Clan, do it if you have the guts," A similar trace of killing intent was in the voice that sounded from behind Dong Mingzi. Chapter 258: Exterminate The Dong Clan Of Supreme Sword City Chapter 258: Exterminate The Dong Clan Of Supreme Sword City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Dong Mingzi turned around to see Mo Wuji who he recognised. Not only did he recognised Mo Wuji, Dong Mingzi had a deep impression of him. Back then, when he saw Mo Wuji at the Immortal Training Tower, he could feel the killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. If not for Cen Shuyin¡¯s appearance, he would have found a place to get rid of Mo Wuji back then. He couldn¡¯t believe that this fella dared to appear here so outrageously. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the cultivator¡¯s loud announcement, "Tian Ji Sect Sect Head Mo Wuji, Left Defender Xing Huang and Elder Jing Feilan enters the conference." Tian Ji Sect Sect Head? Isn¡¯t this fella an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace who was always clinging onto Cen Shuyin¡¯s thigh? How did he become Tian Ji Sect Sect Head? Before Dong Mingzi could figure this out, he remembered another name, Jing Feilan. He lifted his head and saw Jing Feilan with her face covered with her scarf. He twitched his eyes a little and confirmed that it was indeed this woman who he would most definitely not let go today. He didn¡¯t immediately find trouble with Jing Feilan because he was worried that Jing Feilan might go crazy and say out the incident about the Supreme Sword City¡¯s acts of transferring spiritual roots. "Ah, the small outer disciple back then could actually make full use of his opportunities to become a trash sect head of a Xuan sect," Dong Mingzi said as his upper lip curled in disdain. His Supreme Sword City only needed to lift his hand to crush a Xuan sect like Mo Wuji¡¯s. "The conference is about to begin. No matter who you are, you have to stop moving around and turn to your seats," Sect head of the Great Evolution Sect, Jiang Xiushan saw the never ending conversation going on there so he shouted out loud. Even though he wasn¡¯t very pleased with Dong Mingzi from the Supreme Sword City, he agreed it was a little absurd for a Xuan sect like the Tian Ji Sect to sit in the first row. Without waiting for Dong Mingzi to say anything, Mo Wuji suddenly walked to the centre of the round altar and said casually, "Today, I want to reveal the most devastating incident in the cultivation world for everyone here to listen¡­" "You¡¯re courting death¡­" Dong Mingzi heard Mo Wuji first sentence and knew that things were not going well for him. If Mo Wuji were to reveal Supreme Sword City¡¯s dark secret, then his Dong Clan in the Supreme Sword City would never be able to continue serving. Just as he said "You¡¯re courting death", his whole body flew towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s laughed coldly because even though Dong Mingzi¡¯s cultivation level was slightly higher than his, he was still in the Yuan Dan Stage like Mo Wuji himself. How dare a mere Yuan Dan Stage fella be so arrogant and throw himself at me without any precautions taken? In fact, it was the one with the surname ¡®Dong¡¯ that was courting death. "Boom!" Without waiting for Dong Mingzi to act, Mo Wuji took the initiative to attack him. Dong Mingzi knew that Mo Wuji was only an outer disciple with non-visible spirituality so he didn¡¯t view Mo Wuji highly. In fact, he didn¡¯t even bother about Mo Wuji¡¯s attack as he aimed crazily for Mo Wuji¡¯s skull. Even he was to suffer the blow of this fist, he had to kill Mo Wuji first. "Boom!" An explosive lightning exploded in Dong Mingzi¡¯s chest and before his five claws could grab Mo Wuji¡¯s head, he was brought down by this explosive lightning attack. If not for an expert, who was sitting down, catching him, he would have been blown out of the round altar. He could see the hole filled with blood in his chest but this attack didn¡¯t actually cost his life as he swallowed a few pills with almost no energy left to act again. At this moment, any random person could finish Dong Mingzi off. Dong Mingzi really didn¡¯t understand why he was unable to even fend off one attack of Mo Wuji. "You¡¯re courting death¡­" An infuriated voice was followed by an intense surge of elemental energy raging at Mo Wuji. This was definitely the attack of at least a Nihility God Stage cultivator. Jiang Xiushan was livid as he raised his hand to stop the Nihility God Stage cultivator from attacking and they both ended up in the centre of the round altar. After whipping the Nihility God Stage cultivator, he said coldly, "Could it be that I have to give all of you face every time my Hundred Sect Alliance wants to start a conference?" After being whipped like a trash by Jiang Xiushan on the round altar, this Nihility God Stage expert spat out some blood as he said with a slight hissing voice, "Sect head Jiang, so why didn¡¯t you act when my son was badly injured?¡¯ Mo Wuji finally realised that this fella was Dong Mingzi¡¯s father who would also be Dong Lun¡¯s father. This should be the Supreme Sword City¡¯s main lord, One Sword Falling Flower [1]- Dong Luohua. The pity was that the famous Dong Luohua was also whipped like a small chicken to the ground and almost fell to his death. If this were to spread out, his reputation would definitely be affected and would no longer have the qualifications to be called what One Sword Falling Flowers. From the very beginning, Xing Huang didn¡¯t even do anything because he wouldn¡¯t act unless Mo Wuji¡¯s life was in danger. Jiang Xiushan didn¡¯t bother about Dong Luohua as he looked coldly at Mo Wuji, "Do you want to kill yourself or do you need me to do something?" Mo Wuji glanced at Jiang Xiushan as he said calmly, "Sect Head Jiang, so the Heaven Seeking Palace have no say here? You get to decide everything here?" Jiang Xiushan looked furiously for a moment but controlling his anger as he turned towards Feng Zhenqiu with cupped fists as he said, "Brother Feng, how do you suggest we deal with this?" Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s eyes landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body and only spoke after a while, "Your name is Mo Wuji and was the one who got 50th place in the Five Elements Pill Competition right? Additionally, after entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, because you managed to win Linglong¡¯s favour that you enter my Heaven Seeking Palace to become an outer disciple?" Mo Wuji treated Feng Zhenqiu with much more respect than Jiang Xiushan as he cupped his fist after Feng Zhenqiu finished asking, "Dean Feng is correct as I was indeed once an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace. However, I had already left the Heaven Seeking Palace outer sect and I am now Mo Wuji, the sect head of the Tian Ji Sect with absolutely no connections with the Heaven Seeking Palace anymore." Feng Zhenqiu nodded his head, "Earlier on, you said something about revealing the world of cultivation deepest and most devastating secret. What is it?" Dong Luohua had already gotten back on his feet as he wiped the blood stains at the corner of his lips before saying in a serious tone, "Dean Feng, is this how you treat my Supreme Sword City? For two people fighting, you all acted on me yet didn¡¯t touch a single hair of this Mo Wuji." It wasn¡¯t because he was courting death but because he was also fearful that Mo Wuji might reveal his Dong Clan¡¯s secret. Jiang Xiushan was unable to stop Feng Zhenqiu from talking to Mo Wuji but now Dong Luohua took the initiative to ask for a scolding so he immediately refuted, " Someone would naturally deal with Mo Wuji who spoke on the round altar without any authorisation earlier on. I would have hurt Dong Mingzi if he wasn¡¯t already hurt for the fact that he dared to initiate an attack here. Unless your Supreme Sword City have dark secrets that cannot be revealed?" "I am only worried that he will sprout rubbish and even if what he said was fake, he would definitely affect the reputation of my Supreme Sword City. I believe everyone here understand the power of words whether it¡¯s true or not," Dong Mingzi barely managed to stand up from his seat as his voice was still evidently weak. Mo Wuji said sarcastically, "I haven¡¯t even say what it is about yet you knew it was about your Supreme Sword City? Is it because you have a guilty conscience from committing too many heinous crimes?" Dong Mingzi was loss for words as he knew things were getting worse for him. He knew what Mo Wuji was going to reveal but the everyone else didn¡¯t know. And precisely because everyone else didn¡¯t know, his explanation just now made it seemed like he was trying to hide something. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about him as he clasped his fist once again before saying, "Fellow dao friends, this Dong Clan¡¯s scum was right because the b*stard I am going to talk about is the Supreme Sword City. The Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Clan had been searching all over the Lost Continent for supreme grade spiritual roots cultivators and then secretly bringing them back to the Supreme Sword City to force transfer their spiritual roots. I believe now everyone should know why the disciples of the of the Dong Clan have so many supreme grade spiritual roots¡­" Waves of uproars could be heard as Mo Wuji¡¯s words were simply too appalling to people. If there was really such a clan, they would be the rat on the street because everyone who saw them would hit and shout at them. This act was simply too heinous and imagine the cruel torture of being ripped off your spiritual roots. Jiang Xiushan and Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s expression were so gloomy as they finally realised why there were so little cultivators in the Lost Continent with supreme grade spiritual roots and there were even some originating from huge clans. So the reason was that most of these supreme grade spiritual roots geniuses were all collected and spoiled by the Supreme Sword City. No wonder both of Dong Luohua¡¯s sons had supreme grade spiritual roots. One must know that it was an extreme rarity for a clan to produce a supreme grade spiritual roots, so what are the odds that both his sons and himself all had supreme grade spiritual roots? If there were so many supreme grade spiritual roots in the world, then it would not be so precious anymore. Both Dong Luohua and Dong Mingzi¡¯s face turned pale as their heart turned cold like an ice cave. There was simply nothing their Dong Clan could do now that things had reached this stage. "You are lying¡­" Dong Luohua¡¯s trembling finger pointed at Mo Wuji as he said in a solemn tone. "Whether or not I am lying, you know it the best. I am not the only one here today because your Supreme Sword City¡¯s third deputy city¡¯s lord, Jing Feilan, is also here. She will be telling everyone the more detailed truth," Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was even clearer and calmer now. He made his decision to reveal Supreme Sword City here instead of destroying them in the dark only after meeting Jing Feilan. The members of the Dong Clan of the Supreme Sword City were all across the Lost Continent so he will definitely not have the same chance as he had with the Lei Clan to exterminate every single one of them in one blow. Rather than killing a few disciples at the Supreme Sword City, he might as well as drastically exterminate the entire Dong Clan completely. By making use of this conference to turn the Dong Clan into a rat on the streets for everyone to curse and hit at, he believed that he the Dong Clan would be annihilated in the Lost Continent very soon. Jing Feilan said very solemnly, "Dong Luohua, because I found out about your transferring process, your Dong Clan tortured me so inhumanely and I didn¡¯t manage to escape, this matter would have long disappeared into ashes. Your Dong Clan were simply inhumane to even snatch my disciples¡¯ spiritual roots and trust me when I say you all won''t accomplish much through such brutal acts." As she finished, Jing Feilan turned to the crowd of cultivators on the plaza as she said, "Do you know how many innocent supreme grade spiritual roots cultivators the Dong Clan must kill to produce one supreme grade spiritual roots cultivator of their own? They spent tens of years searching throughout the Lost Continent and they found almost 100 over supreme grade spiritual roots cultivators. These cultivators died one after the other after the failed transfer of their spiritual roots and after witnessing these brutal acts in the experimental room of the Dong Clan, I swear that only inhumane b*stards would be able to commit such crimes¡­" Everyone could hear the sorrow and pain in Jing Feilan¡¯s voice as they could all imagine being in her shoes and witnessing what she witnessed back then. [1]: One Sword Falling Flower is the nickname of Dong Luohua because Luohua is the chinese for Falling Flower hence the nickname. Chapter 259: Mo Wuji’s Methods Chapter 259: Mo Wuji¡¯s Methods Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Kill him, wipe out the Supreme Sword City¡­" As Jing Feilan revealed the truth, all of the cultivators in the Five Elements Desolate Domain plaza were enraged, and countless cultivators began calling for the Dong Clan¡¯s demise and for Supreme Sword City to be wiped out. Dong Luohua¡¯s face became as pale as a sheet. While his Dong Clan was quite strong, but they had no True God Stage experts. This was one thing that couldn¡¯t get out of his mind. Since the day that the Dong Clan obtained means to transfer spiritual roots, all their clan members had supreme spiritual roots, hence their rate of cultivation was extremely fast, but the funny thing was that there never was a single True God Stage expert produced by this system. Precisely because of this, the Dong Clan had developed quietly all this while, and did not stand out in any situation. If the Dong Clan had a True God Stage expert, then even in such a disadvantageous situation, Supreme Sword City would not be in trouble. Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s expression turned ugly, and he abruptly stepped forward to grab the trembling Dong Mingzi that shrank to one side, taking out a spiritual roots sensor. With a fling, Dong Mingzi flew into it. Mo Wuji discovered that this spiritual roots sensor was different from the one he had seen before. This one had two crystal pillars, one at the back, and the other slanted, forming a Y shape. Feng Zhenqiu tapped the spiritual roots sensor, and the two crystal pillars behind Dong Mingzi lit up. The crystal pillar behind him had a earthly yellow glow that rose barely two inches before stopping, while the slanted crystal pillar had a golden shine that rose all the way to the top. "Whoosh!" Dong Mingzi was kicked out of the sensor by Feng Zhenqiu, and Fneg Zhenqiu coldly concluded, "Your spiritual roots were indeed transferred from someone.: After speaking, Feng Zhenqiu bowed respectfully to the other cultivators that were on the plaza, "Fellow dao friends, while our Lost Continent¡¯s culture of cultivation is rather backwards, but we¡¯ve still occasionally produced some Heaven Realm cultivators, just that the numbers are far too few. Do you know what is the most unacceptable for all cultivation continents? It is the lose-lose act of transferring spiritual roots from one person to another." Hearing that, Mo Wuji was puzzled. How was this a lose-lose situation? Transferring better quality spiritual roots should naturally benefit the receiver, hence it should at least be a win-lose situation. With a cold snort, Feng Zhenqiu continued, "Did everything think that transferring spiritual roots to yourself if will be beneficial to you? I can confidently tell everyone that these sort of cultivator will never experience heavenly tribulation. Hence they are fated to stay in the Earth Realm, never to step into the Heaven Realm. When their time is up and they die, they will experience the pain of their soul dispersing, which is tens of times more painful than what the person whose spiritual roots was taken went through¡­" Dong Luohua trembled. No wonder a True God Stage expert never appeared in the Dong Clan, and based on their records, Dong Clan¡¯s ancestors experienced extreme suffering when they died. Who knew that those who received transferred spiritual roots would not ble able to advance to True God Stage. At this point, Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s tone became strict, "Those who have taken spiritual roots from others must be killed. Are the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s executors present...." Countless Nihility God Stage experts landed on the conference altar, exuding a cold killer aura which even made Mo Wuji feel cold. "Immediately kill Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Clan. Wipe this treacherous clan from the earth." Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s voice carried a strong killing intent, without a trace of mercy. "Roger." A few Nihility God Stage experts flickered and disappeared. Pointing at Mo Wuji, Dong Luohua spoke, "My Dong Clan has no enmity with you, so why must you destroy our clan?" He was very indignant, as his clan was just destroyed out of nowhere, and the person that exposed their crimes was this ant from Tian Ji Sect before him. Mo Wuji coldly replied, "It is because Jing Feilan¡¯s disciple, Yan¡¯Er, is a close relative of mine, and your Dong Clan actually dared to attempt to strip her of spiritual roots. Since the day Yan¡¯Er¡¯s appeared in Chang Luo City with her spiritual channels damaged and without much sanity left, I swore that I would take down Supreme Sword City." "So it¡¯s you¡­" Dong Luohua mumbled to himself. Back then Dong Lun moved some of the spirit transferring system to Chang Luo without fear, and he had felt that it was not appropriate. In the end someone sabotaged them, but due to sheer luck, there was only one victim in the whole incident. At this moment, he finally realised that the victim that went missing was named Yan¡¯Er, and she was probably taken away by Mo Wuji. The root of their troubles was created then. "There was something I forgot to tell you, Yan¡¯Er is now Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s number one genius, while your son, Dong Lun, was killed by me. I killed him in the Five Elements Desolate Domain, and he told me that Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Clan avenge him. Old man, I¡¯m here today waiting for you to avenge him." A spurt of blood was shot out of Dong Luohua¡¯s mouth, and hate filled his heart. Why didn¡¯t he find out earlier, then killed this little ant? Logically speaking, even though Feng Zhenqiu was Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dean, he would still have to discuss this matter with Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Jiang Xiushan. However, he did not do so, instead directly giving orders, but even though Jiang Xiushan was unhappy inside, he couldn¡¯t argue. Feng Zhenqiu stood out to speak, "From now on anyone of the Lost Continent shall kill Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Clan members on sight. Men, nail Dong Luohua and Dong Mingzi outside of Five Elements Desolate Domain as an example." While he spoke, Jiang Xiushan lifted his hand and shot out two beams of light which pierced through the center of the eyebrows of the deathly pale Dong Luohua and Dong Mingzi. These two dead men were quickly taken away, and in a moment they would be nailed to the city gates of Five Element Desolate City to be humiliated for eternity. A stream of tears flowed out of Jing Feilan¡¯s single eye, as she hid for so many years to exact her revenge, but never really had any idea how to execute it. However, when Mo Wuji wanted to take revenge, it only took barely over two hours, and the Supreme Sword City Dong Clan was wiped off the face of Lost Continent completely. Moreover, the sense of finally exacting revenge felt great. Not only were the Supreme Sword City Dong Clan wiped out, but they would be humiliated forever, never to come back from this. This method of exacting revenge was a hundred levels above simply killing Supreme Sword City. Thankfully, she did not see the potential in Mo Wuji back then, otherwise, he might have been killed by the Dong Clan, and wouldn¡¯t have the chance to stand here today. ¡­ "That¡¯s Mo Wuji? Am I seeing things?" Han Ning, who was standing in the plaza, rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He dared not believe that Mo Wuji was standing on the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s conference altar, and just wiped out Supreme Sword City. Wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji merely just a mortal drug refiner? Being able to come here was already ridiculous, but to come as the head of a sect? What exactly was going on? Wen Manzhu, who stood beside her, took in a deep breath, and used an almost inaudible tone to speak, "You¡¯re right, that¡¯s Mo Wuji." Even though she did not have any contact with Mo Wuji after the Mo Clan was destroyed, she kept observing Mo Wuji from the dark. This was not because she was interested in Mo Wuji, but as she felt guilty and wanted to help him a little. Only that female servant of his, Yan¡¯Er, was rather prideful, so no matter how hard their lives were, nothing she gave was ever accepted. Thus, now that Mo Wuji appeared on the center of the conference altar, she could recognise him immediately. Both of them turned silent. They had not gone back to Cheng Yu State yet, so they did not know what Mo Wuji had done there. However, right here they knew that Mo Wuji already belonged to a different world from them. That¡¯s right, in the past they thought that the situation was similar to the one now, except that they thought that they were the ones on the stage, while Mo Wuji could only look at them from afar, in the crowd. But today, the situation before them was the complete opposite. To Han Ning, she was silent because Mo Wuji had helped her a lot, but for her and her Han Clan¡¯s benefit, she abandoned Mo Wuji. To Wen Manzhu, she also gave up on a friendship that had been built from childhood due to the Mo Clan¡¯s demise. Comparatively, the Qu Wan¡¯Er that stood even further away was equally shocked, but this was not beyond her expectations. "This guy really shot up quickly, to actually become the head of a sect." The old man standing beside Qu Wan¡¯Er sighed. Chucking, Qu Wan¡¯Er replied, "Master, he¡¯s still the sect head of just a Xuan sect." "Who cares if it¡¯s just a Xuan Sect, to be able to use this opportunity to take out Supreme Sword City is already very impressive. However, he was too rash in handling this matter. A Xuan sect is something that others can casually destroy, but he dared to take such great risks to do this. He¡¯s still young and hot blooded." The old man shook his head. Qu Wan¡¯Er rebutted, "Master, do you think Pill Master Mo has done anything risky before? Why do I feel that many things he had done from the start looks very dangerous, but in reality he would end up safe and sound." The old man was stunned, yes, wasn¡¯t this the case? Following which he said, "We¡¯ll see how he handles the questioning from Great Evolution Sect and Heaven Seeking Palace this time. Don¡¯t think that this matter will just go to rest. It is already an offence in itself for a small Xuan sect¡¯s sect head to step out alone to make an announcement regarding Supreme Sword City without taking the experts here into consideration." ¡­ "Sect Head Mo, since the Supreme Sword City Dong Clan issue has been resolved, shouldn¡¯t we talk about the Tian Ji Sect now?" As predicted by Qu Wan¡¯Er¡¯s master, after the Supreme Sword City matter was closed, Jiang Xiushan¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Wuji, and said with an unfriendly tone. Mo Wuji replied neutrally, "My Tian Ji Sect exposed Supreme Sword City with the safety of the countless genius cultivators of Lost Continent in mind. We¡¯ve never wanted anything compensation so Sect head Jiang doesn¡¯t need to entertain us." After finishing this sentence, Mo Wuji went to sit down at the seat that Zhuang Yan reserved for them, at the same time gesturing for Xing Huang and Jing Feilan to sit behind him. But Jiang Xiushan was boiling mad. Do you have any face? Compensation, compensation my ass. The altar had a sound amplifying array, so Mo Wuji¡¯s words would be directly broadcast to the whole Five Elements Desolate City, which made Jiang Xiushan unhappy. If he could not find any good reasons, in the end he would not be able to deal with this Tian Ji Sect that did not bother with Quasi-Heaven sects. "Sect Head Mo, the first row is for large sects, which are basically those sects that made great contributions in the war against aliens. Could the Tian Ji Sect please sit at the back." Knowing that there was a sound amplifying array, Jiang Xiushan could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and speak with a lighter tone. Mo Wuji stood up, and said while looking at Jiang Xiushan calmly, "Sect Head Jiang, are you saying that the Tian Ji Sect did not make any contributions to the Lost Continent?" Chapter 260: Madness Incited By A Rogue Cultivator Chapter 260: Madness Incited By A Rogue Cultivator Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Jiang Xiushan was extremely unhappy, but he could not let his unhappiness show on this sort of large conference, "Sect Head Mo, since the Tian Ji Sect was invited to this conference, it means that it has some contribution to the Lost Continent. Not only Tian Ji Sect, but everyone contributed in the fight against the aliens when the Lost Continent was facing the invasion. The only difference is how much contribution was made. If it is possible, I hope that all sects would sit at the first row, but the reality is that only those sects with greater contributions can sit at the first row. If I remember correctly, Tian Ji Sect is rank 321 on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board. Of course I don¡¯t think that contribution points obtained from transactions are worth less, because this is also a way of contributing to the Lost Continent." On the surface he said that they were not worth less, but he was very obvious in his speech that the Tian Ji Sect was simply lucky to be able to sit on this conference altar. "Moreover¡­" Jiang Xiushan took a look at the section of seats that Mo Wuji was seated at, and spoke again, "Tian Ji Sect can only send three people at most to attend this conference with rank 321, but I seem to see four people here." "Sect Head Jiang, is it ok if I just give up the seats in the first row?" Mo Wuji¡¯s words were full of mockery, as he knew that Jiang Xiushan was dissatisfied with his. Other than him speaking directly on the conference altar without going through the Hundred Sect Alliance, there was the thing about Xing Huang. Even though Jiang Xiushan was not aware that Peng Jiqing died in the hands of Mo Wuji and Xing Huang, he still had a bone to pick with Xing Huang. To that, Jiang Xiushang coolly replied, "There¡¯ll be no order without rules. Since Tian Ji Sect exposed Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Clan, it is a great contribution to the Lost Continent. But Tian Ji Sect was disrespectful towards the Hundred Sect Alliance, and took advantage of the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s conference for its own benefit. If there¡¯s no punishment meted out, how will the Hundred Sect Alliance make all cultivators respect it?" In his voice there was a sense of steely determination, with logic to back his words up, which was that contributions beget rewards, while mistakes beget punishments. Feng Zhenqiu did not make a single noise. While he had dealt with Dong Mingzi, but Dong Mingzi was from Heaven Seeking Palace, which made this a large stain for the sect. Similarly, Mo Wuji was from Heaven Seeking Palace, even though he was just a outer disciple. The crucial part was that the number one genius of Heaven Seeking Palace, Yan¡¯Er, was a close relative of Mo Wuji. So in this situation, how could he institute any punishment? Seeing that Feng Zhenqiu did not say anything, Jiang Xiushan carried on, "Since Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect had has both contributions and wrongdoings, the Hundred Sect Alliance will dish out the following punishment. We will not pursue the matter of Tian Ji Sect taking advantage of the Hundred Sect Alliance, and we¡¯ll revoke Tian Ji Sect¡¯s rights to take part in the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference." With a cold laugh, Mo Wuji thought to himself. This was the result of having contributions and wrongdoings? No one dared to speak even though most of the cultivators present felt that Jiang Xiushan was a little too harsh with his punishment. How a small sect like Tian Ji Sect was dealt with, no one really cared. In other words, it was indeed too arrogant and wild for Tian Ji Sect to sit in the first row and make use of the Hundred Sect Alliance to deal with Supreme Sword City Dong Clan. Mo Wuji¡¯s face was full of contempt, but he did not make a move. Without the splitting of Five Elements Desolate Domain, he would not bother about this seat at all. Since it involved that division of resources in Five Elements Desolate Domain, his Tian Ji Sect could not back out now. It was apparent to Jiang Xiushan that Mo Wuji did not care about the punishment, which made his face go cold in an instant. A Nihility God Stage expert was also coming up to grab Mo Wuji too. But Xing Huang swat the Nihility God Stage expert off the altar with his palm. The expression on Jiang Xiushan¡¯s face changed, and he clawed at Xing Huang. Previously there was no reason for him to strike, but now there was, as Xing Huang had acted first, so how could he let Xing Huang go just like that. Xing Huang simply snorted and welcomed Jiang Xiushan with his fist. Jiang Xiushan did not put in maximum strength in grabbing. To him, a Nihility God Stage expert was not worth dealing with his full strength. However, Xing Huang was not a Nihility God Stage expert, but an actual True God Stage expert. "Boom!" Jiang Xiushan was blown over 10 steps backwards by Xing Huang¡¯s punch before he stopped. "You¡¯ve advanced to the Heaven Realm?" Jiang Xiushan stared at Xing Huang with a face of shock. Casually, Xing Huang replied, "So your Great Evolution Sect¡¯s guys can enter the Heaven Realm but our Tian Ji Sect¡¯s can¡¯t?" Feng Zhenqiu was equally surprised. He predicted that Xing Huang had benefitted greatly from the sudden opening of the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Now that he knew that Xing Huang broke through to True God Stage, he was even more reluctant to speak than before. "Sect Head Mo, do you think that you can trample over the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s rules with a True God Stage expert in Tian Ji Sect? The first row of seats are assigned based on the Contribution Points Board from the alien war, so the Hundred Sect Alliance is definitely getting involved in this," Jiang Xiushan was really angry now. A True God Stage cultivator was not enough to scare him. When Mo Wuji took in Xing Huang, he knew that Jiang Xiushan should be his opponent. On top of that, even if wasn¡¯t the case now, once Lei Hongji returned, he would still be enemies with Great Evolution Sect. "Fellow dao friends in Five Element Desolate City, let me say a few words from the bottom of my heart. These words are not meant for arrogant people to listen, but for those ordinary sects and ordinary cultivators," Mo Wuji announced loudly once again. Jiang Xiushan was seething in fury, as he decided that he would demonstrate his dominance today. A mere Tian Ji Sect, so what if they had a Xing Huang? Mo Wuji continued to ignore Jiang Xiushan, and carried on saying, "Tian Ji Sect dedicated all our strength in the fight against the alien cultivators. But at a crucial moment, Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head, Du Shiqing, was killed by Yu Lin Lei Clan for their personal gain outside Yan City. None of the Hundred Sect Alliance experts who espouse the principle of "No order without rules", and not one asked about this incident nor investigated this incident. Sect Head Du Shiqing knew of me for quite a while, so even though we didn¡¯t meet face to face, he trusted me greatly, hence he passed on the mantle of sect head to me before he died¡­" "Sect Head Mo, you¡¯re just an outer disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace. You said that Sect head Du handed over the position of sect head to you, isn¡¯t this a little too egoistic a claim? Do you think these heroes are idiots?" The Heavenly Drug Sect Sect Head Qin Foyu who sat in the center couldn¡¯t help but add ln. He was not helping Jiang Xiushan, but it was Mo Wuji¡¯s statement that was full of holes, which he could not bear listening to anymore. Mo Wuji bowed respectfully towards Qin Foyu, then said to the cultivators on the plaza, "Sect Head Du chose me, because I also go by another name, Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­" Rogue Cultivator 2705? "Roar!" The whole plaza burst into a frenzy as countless cultivators shouted "Rogue Cultivator 2705." Who was the idol of the alien war? Who was the hero that everyone remembered? And who was the person that everyone wanted to see? It¡¯s not Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Sect Head, neither is it Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Dean, nor is it Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Worldly Immortal King. Instead it¡¯s a rogue cultivator, Rogue Cultivator 2705. "Rogue Cultivator 2705¡­" At this moment, there was one name that kept being chanted, which was Rogue Cultivator 2705. One rogue cultivator that killed his way out of the encirclement of hundreds of alien cultivators! One rogue cultivator that saved Heaven Seeking Palace Pill Pagoda¡¯s Great Circle of True Lake Stage cultivator Shi Jinwen, while conveniently disposing of a Half Step into Nihility God Stage alien cultivator! One rogue cultivator that killed an alien True God Stage expert to reach over 110,000 contribution points. ¡­ This rogue cultivator was Rogue Cultivator 2705, who accomplished all these acts while at Transcending Mortality Stage. He was the pride of Lost Continent, all the rogue cultivators out there, and those without halos. Hence they gave him another title, Da Shixiong. No one knew where this Rogue Cultivator 2705 was, and there was every rumors that he was killed by an expert from Zhen Mo Continent. So now that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was before them, who could hold back their excitement? "Da Shixiong, I want to join Tian Ji Sect!" "I also want to join Tian Ji Sect¡­" There was no way Mo Wuji could speak any further, and he could only look down upon the wild plaza. Who knew that Rogue Cultivator 2705 would incite such a great reaction. He decided to announce that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705 at this time in order to secure his place on the first row, then obtain more resources from the Five Elements Desolate Domain. The rebuilding of Tian Ji Sect was not something that could be done by a few people, and it required a large number of quality disciples. No matter how high quality the disciples were, they would still require cultivation resources. "Do you know I¡¯ve always wanted to meet Da Shixiong? Luckily I came here today." "Me too, whenever I think back to Rogue Cultivator 2705 being surrounded by hundreds of cultivators, and killing the alien cultivators to form a river of blood, I can¡¯t help but get excited till my scalp goes numb. I could just face up against hundreds of alien cultivators myself too." A weak female cultivator spoke in tears," When I heard Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Xue Tongsi mention that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was covered in wounds and blood after killing hundreds of alien cultivators, and still fought to save Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Shi Jinwen and Yan¡¯Er, then dragging his pole while leaving, my heart broke¡­" ¡­ Jiang Xiushan stared at Mo Wuji with a shocked expression, and his heart sank. Who knew that this Sect Head of Tian Ji Sect would actually be Rogue Cultivator 2705? Disregarding other factors, just from Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s fame alone, he dared not touch a hair on Mo Wuji anymore. "Ha ha ha¡­" Feng Zhenqiu burst into laughter, "How could the rank 1 person on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board have nothing to do with Heaven Seeking Palace. So he¡¯s actually one of us." "He¡¯s now Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head," Jiang Xiushan coldly replied. "It¡¯s the same, it¡¯s the same. Before he joined Tian Ji Sect, wasn¡¯t he a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace?" Finally they were no longer beneath Great Evolution Sect, which made Feng Zhenqiu feel that his breathing was much smoother for the first time in a long while. "Everyone keep quiet, let me finish speaking," Seeing that the commotion was getting bigger, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but wave his hands and shout. "Don¡¯t make any noise everyone, let Da Shixiong speak," A hoarse and loud voice below the altar matched Mo Wuji¡¯s voice and spread across the whole plaza. The next moment, a curtain of silence fell on the plaza, as everyone¡¯s gazes were fixed on this rogue cultivator who was rank 1 on the Contribution Points Board, wanting to know what he would say next. Chapter 261: Mo Wuji’s Speech Chapter 261: Mo Wuji¡¯s Speech Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My friends, please allow me to refrain from addressing everyone as dao friends, because I¡¯ve felt all of your passion and emotion. Those feelings are not targeted at me, Mo Wuji, but at a rogue cultivator that fought against the alien cultivators for the Lost Continent, an embodiment of our strong love and respect for our land. In the war against the invaders, there were many people like me, nameless rogue cultivators, that shed their blood and gave up their lives for this land that we live on, and I was only one of them. They did not get any glory or compensation, and they were just the same as me, with only a number assigned to them¡­" At this point, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, "This bow is for those hot blooded cultivators that shed their blood for our home, regardless of which sect they belong to, or whether they are rogue cultivators or mortals, they are people that we should respect." When Mo Wuji was on Earth, he delivered speeches on countless occasions, so the control he had over his audience¡¯s emotions was much better than and large sect¡¯s sect head. In terms of cultivation, he was not as good as Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Jiang Xiushan, but in terms of public speaking and touching people¡¯s hearts, two Jiang Xiushans would not be a match for Mo Wuji. In other words, a person as high up as Jiang Xiushan would never even bother to use such means to connect with ordinary cultivators. Most of the cultivators on the plaza followed suit and bowed once, before thunderous applause overwhelmed the whole area. Even though Mo Wuji did not take out his Rogue Cultivator 2705 contribution points token, no one questioned his authenticity. Initially, everyone was sure that Mo Wuji would take out his contribution points token at the end. But now everyone did not need him to do so, and still believed that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. What Mo Wuji said was representative of the voices of all the small cultivators, as the higher-up cultivators in the Lost Continent were of the minority. Most of the cultivators were unassuming and quiet, much like Rogue Cultivator 2705. Precisely because of this, Rogue Cultivator 2705 could connect so well with them, and affect the whole Lost Continent, because he was the most on the ground person and felt the closest to them. Even if they were not willing to, Jiang Xiushan and co. had to bow with Mo Wuji to show their respect for the people that gave up their lives for the Lost Continent. Mo Wuji carried on, "I must thank the Hundred Sect Alliance here, for without them, the Lost Continent would be like a scattered plate of sand. In any war, a plate of scattered sand will never have any offensive power. But after giving my thanks, I must ask, what was the aim of creating this Hundred Sect Alliance? It was to protect this land that we live on, and to protect everyone that lives on it. We repelled the alien invaders, but the work of the Hundred Sect Alliance has just begun, so we cannot just rest on our laurels." While he knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s following sentences would disadvantage the Great Evolution Sect, Jiang Xiushan could not go forward to stop the speech. Mo Wuji was once part of Heaven Seeking Palace, so Feng Zhenqiu was even less likely to stop him. As for the other sects, unless they had nothing better to do, who would interrupt Mo Wuji¡¯s speech? "I am not speaking as Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect head, but as an ordinary rogue cultivator. I would like to ask the Hundred Sect Alliance, at a crucial moment like during the alien war, when the sect head of a sect that was fighting the invaders was killed outside the encampment of the Hundred Sect Alliance, where did the alliance go? On top of that, when the sect was wiped out for no reason, where was the Hundred Sect Alliance again? I would like to ask the Hundred Sect Alliance, how does the Hundred Sect Alliance treat someone who had the credit for exposing a clan that had transferred spiritual roots and harmed countless genius cultivators from the Lost Continent? I would like to ask the Hundred Sect Alliance, how do you treat the random cultivators that died while repelling the alien cultivators?" The whole plaza fell silent, as Mo Wuji took a deep breath before raising his voice again, "I can tell everyone that while the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head was fighting alien cultivators, he was killed by Yu Lin Lei Clan¡¯s experts outside of Yan City over a possible treasure that Tian Ji Sect might have had, and the the Hundred Sect Alliance did not ask anything about this. Soon after that, Tian Ji Sect was wiped out by the Lei Clan, and the Hundred Sect Alliance acted as though as they did not see anything. I am speaking for Tian Ji Sect, not because I¡¯m their Sect Head. I didn¡¯t even know the previous sect head, Du Shiqing. A Xuan sect¡¯s sect head, to the Hundred Sect Alliance, might only be able to block a few of the invading alien soldiers. Sect head Du could not trust the Hundred Sect Alliance before he died, but instead he put his trust in me, a rogue cultivator, and asked me to become the leader of Tian Ji Sect. Perhaps he knew that even if this matter was brought up with the Hundred Sect Alliance, there wouldn¡¯t be any outcome. I¡¯m but just a rogue cultivator, but I, Mo Wuji, have my own principles, and I will definitely not allow the people of Lost Continent to continue shedding tears after they have shed blood for the land." "If a road is uneven, someone will come to plough it, and if there¡¯s no one to plough this road, I, Mo Wuji, will do it. The things that the Hundred Sect Alliance is not willing to do, I, Mo Wuji, will do. Hence, I rebuilt Tian Ji Sect, took up the mantle of Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head, and wiped out the selfish Yu Lin Lei Clan¡­" Another round of applause rang out, drowning out Mo Wuji¡¯s voice, and he waited for the clapping to cease before be carried on speaking, "Now I would like to answer the second question. I exposed the Supreme Sword City¡¯s Dong Clan, but the reward I received was to be stripped of the right to participate in the Hundred Sect Alliance Conference. If I wasn¡¯t also Rogue Cultivator 2705, if I did not have everyone¡¯s support, I would not have had this chance to say all these things today, and instead have been chased off the altar." Clenching his fist, Jiang Xiushan¡¯s hate grew. At this point, Mo Wuji had established his charisma, so he could not do anything about Mo Wuji. Even after leaving this plaza, Mo Wuji still had Xing Huang, which he could not handle either. If he, who was in the True God Stage, could not deal with Mo Wuji, who else would be able to? If he dared to strike Mo Wuji now, perhaps the Great Evolution Sect would become the next Supreme Sword City Dong Clan. "We need Da Shixiong to be the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Leader¡­" "We need Rogue Cultivator 2705 to take charge of the Hundred Sect Alliance!" ¡­ Regardless of status, there was no lack of hot blooded people, which included cultivators. Mo Wuji¡¯s words resonated with many people, Many of the issues that people never really thought of were dug up, and they made people feel enraged. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "I¡¯ll continue answering the third question. The cultivators that died defending our land from the alien invaders, their bodies can be found everywhere, in every corner. Even though I was rank 1 on the Contribution Points Board, but I believe that after I die, I will end up like those heroes that fell, with my body scattered all over in the wilderness, enduring the bitter cold day and night¡­ Yes, my heart is stone cold, and I plead to the leaders of the Hundred Sect Alliance, please gather the remains of these hot blooded men that passed away, and bury them on the Lost Continent¡¯s battlefield, then erect a large memorial stone for them, so that we may always remember, respect, and take them as examples. When alien cultivators invade again, there will be more comrades that give their life to defend this land. That¡¯s all I have to say for today. Thank you my friends!" The inside and outside of the plaza became silent again. If no one brought it up, everyone would have thought that cultivators dying in battle was very natural, and only those brothers who knew the dead would bring their remains away. No one felt that his arrangement was inappropriate, regardless whether it were cultivators or sects. Now that Mo Wuji said all these things, the people that were listening only then knew of how lonely those cultivators that died in battle were. To them, this was very unfair. Even Jiang Xiushan, who had been unhappy with Mo Wuji all this while, could not help but admit that Mo Wuji was right. His dissatisfaction with Mo Wuji had nothing to do with whether he agreed or disagreed with what Mo Wuji said.In the fight to repel alien cultivators, he, Jiang Xiushan, was also ready to give up his life. After a long while, small bouts of shouting broke out all over the plaza, and without exception, all were asking for Mo Wuji to become the Alliance head of the Hundred Sect Alliance. Jiang Xiushan could not step out, and Feng Zhenqiu knew that he couldn¡¯t do so at this moment either. He walked to where Mo Wuji was, and said, "Everyone keep quiet." Feng Zhenqiu was a True God Stage expert, so even without the sound amplifying array, what he considered to be speaking softly would shock the rest of the cultivators on the plaza. Indeed, after Feng Zhenqiu spoke, all of the cultivators on the plaza quietened down. Then, Feng Zhenqiu spoke in a clear voice, "Sect Head Mo was once a disciple of Heaven Seeking Palace, but I won¡¯t be saying anything that goes against my conscience just based on that fact. I agree with what Sect Head Mo said just now. Since our cultivation culture is rather backwards, once alien cultivators invade our land, all the more we have to band together to face them. Therefore, I would like to decide on behalf of the Hundred Sect Alliance, to erect a memorial stone outside of Yan City. On it, the name of every cultivator that perished in the war will be carved, even those without names, we will use their rogue cultivator numbers to remember them." Enthusiastic applause rang out, and Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s words were met with warm acceptance. After the cheering died down, Feng Zhenqiu carried on, "I agree with everyone¡¯s suggestion regarding the second matter, but allowing Sect head Mo to become the leader of the Hundred Sect Alliance is not up to me. We need all of the sects to vote on this." Once he was done addressing the crowd, Feng Zhenqiu turned towards the sect heads sitting on the conference altar and said, "Everyone here, I believe you just heard Sect Head Mo¡¯s words, and how all the cultivators in the Five Elements Desolate Domain reacted to it. I¡¯m not sure what everyone thinks about Sect Head Mo becoming the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Head? Let¡¯s do it this way, all those who are in support of Sect Head Mo becoming the Alliance head, please stand up. Those who don¡¯t support him need not stand up." After Feng Zhenqiu finished speaking, all of the people in the plaza looked to the heads of the various sects. Democracy did not really exist here, and even if all of the people in the plaza wanted Mo Wuji to become the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, it would still require the various sects to stand up to express their thoughts on this. "Formless Blade Sect agrees," The first person to stand up was actually the Formless Blade Sect Sect Head, Gu Ran, who sat in the last few rows. "Heavenly Drug Sect agrees," The next person that stood up was completely unexpected person: the Heavenly Drug Sect Sect Head that sat at the center of the altar, who had retorted Mo Wuji previously. "Hundred Net Sect agrees!" "Immortal Retaining Castle agrees!" Chapter 262: Hundred Sect Alliance’s Alliance Head Chapter 262: Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations One by one the sect heads stood up, and eventually all of the sects on the altar were standing up. Even though there were some people that were against the idea of Mo Wuji becoming Alliance Head, they just had to stand up. Mo Wuji had a True God Stage expert at his side, which made his sect stronger than some of the Quasi-heaven sects out there. "Heaven Seeking Palace agrees too," Feng Zhenqiu said while looking at Mo Wuji, "Sect Head Mo, since everyone hopes that you will become the next Alliance Head, please give us a reply if you are willing." Mo Wuji was really put in a spot here. He wanted to get some concessions for the Tian Ji Sect, and it had never occurred to him that he might become the next Alliance head. "Fellow dao friends, my cultivation is too low, but I still can make some contributions to the Hundred Sect Alliance. However, I¡¯m still not qualified to be the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head," Mo Wuji was very aware of this point. His cultivation level was indeed a little too lousy. Regardless of other factors, if there were another alien cultivator invasion, it would be impossible for him to command those top notch experts with his current cultivation level. "Sect Head Mo, I know what your considerations are. I believe that in the Lost Continent, there shouldn¡¯t be anyone that can surpass you in terms of popularity to become Alliance Head of the Hundred Sect Alliance. Perhaps you are worried that there will be another alien invasion, and you won¡¯t be able to consolidate the power of all of the experts. But I think that your consideration is not valid. At least for Heaven Seeking Palace, no matter who the Alliance Head is, as long as it is something that benefits the Lost Continent, we will definitely not put up any resistance. Moreover, we think that because of your suggestion to erect a memorial stone for the fallen cultivators, the cohesion in the Lost Continent will only improve." Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Feng Zhenqiu immediately stood out to speak. "We only respect Rogue Cultivator 2705, so it will be the best for him to be the Alliance Head." "That¡¯s right, we need Rogue Cultivator 2705 as the Alliance Head. He won¡¯t screw the Lost Continent over." ¡­ Many cultivators in the Five Elements Desolate City stood out to plead with Mo Wuji, hoping that he would become the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance head. As the demands for Mo Wuji to become the Alliance Head grew louder, the various sects also stood up on stage, in support of Mo Wuji as the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance head, at the same time taking the same stand as Feng Zhenqiu, and declaring that they would not burden the Hundred Sect Alliance. "Sect Head Mo, I believe that your future potential is limitless as you were able to climb to the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, hence this should be enough for you to take up the position as Alliance Head. At the same time, being Alliance Head will be a form of protection for you. Perhaps you don¡¯t know, but Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Special Envoy Xia Mo has already marked you as someone he will deal with in the future." Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s voice suddenly appeared beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ears, giving him a shock, and he turned around to take a look at Feng Zhenqiu. Feng Zhenqiu nodded at him, and it was obvious that he had guessed the identity of the person that got to the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase: Mo Wuji. Once he found out the Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705, he could infer this point too. It would be a lie to say that he had no regrets in his heart, as if he had noticed that Mo Wuji was the one who reached the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, he would have given Mo Wuji the title of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s number one disciple, possibly even grooming Mo Wuji to become the next Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace. At this point, Feng Zhenqiu was impressed with Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Du Shiqing¡¯s ability to judge people. Du Shiqing knew that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was not a simple person, hence Tian Ji Sect was handed over to him. Moreover, Mo Wuji was an an emotional person, so he couldn¡¯t reject taking up the position of Sect Head of Tian Ji Sect.. The subsequent events would prove that what Du Shiqing did was right. Tian Ji Sect was originally a small sect, but because of Mo Wuji, it became a sect famous throughout the Lost Continent. It was possible that after this whole incident, many cultivators would want to join Tian Ji Sect. In his heart, Mo Wuji sighed to himself. Since Feng Zhenqiu could guess that he was the one that reached the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, then other people could too. It seemed like he had to take up this position as the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, which would also be completely beneficial to him, without any downsides. Whoever had any grudges against him would not possibly dare to touch the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head. Before his strength matured, he would have to rely on this title to protect him and Tian Ji Sect. As long as he became the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s leader, even if Tian Ji Sect¡¯s spirit locking array was was leaked out, no one would dare to snatch away the location that Tian Ji Sect was at. "Thank you dao friends for your support. I, Mo Wuji, will gladly take up the position as the hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance head." Once Mo Wuji made his decision, he did not blabber on anymore, and just directly addressed the crowd. Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenqiu was filled with joy, and followed up, "The Lost Continent¡¯s Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s first generation Alliance Head was Dean Bei Suting, but since Dean Bei left for the Zhen Mo Continent, after much discussion, Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head, Mo Wuji, will become our Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s second generation Alliance Head." The plaza burst into cheers after hearing Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s announcement. This marked the new ascent of an Alliance Head of the Hundred Sect Alliance. Only Jiang Xiushan was slightly disappointed, as the next Alliance Head was supposed to have been chosen at the conference. If nothing went wrong, the next Alliance Head should have been himself. But Mo Wuji suddenly appeared out of nowhere to snatch his Alliance Head position, and he still had to appear supportive of this. It was simply very frustrating. Now that Mo Wuji was the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, no one of the whole Lost Continent would dare to make a move against him, much less Jiang Xiushan. Feng Zhenqiu continued speaking, "The Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head previously did not have any form of identification, but I would like to propose that we use Sect Head Mo¡¯s Rogue Cultivator 2705 contribution points token for this function. Could Sect Head Mo please display the Rogue Cultivator 2705 contribution points token, and we¡¯ll commence the Hundred Sect Alliance Alliance Head assuming command ceremony. From now on, this contribution points token will become every generations Hundred Sect Alliance Alliance Head¡¯s identification." Even greater cheering than before sounded out as Mo Wuji walked to the front, and raised the Rogue Cultivator 2705 contribution points token. The Hundred Sect Alliance Alliance head assuming command ceremony had just begun. As this event was very sudden, the ceremony included all of the sect heads making a declaration, followed by Mo Wuji pledging his determination to make contributions for the Lost Continent. "Sect Head Mo, since you¡¯re the Alliance Head now, please host this Hundred Sect Alliance Conference," Jiang Xiushan said sourly. Originally, he wanted to chase Mo Wuji out of the first row, and in the end he achieved him aims. He indeed managed to chase Mo Wuji out of the first row of the conference altar, but Mo Wuji was not sent to the last row, instead moving to the center of the conference altar, or perhaps to the number one seat of the conference. At this point, Mo Wuji would not be overly courteous with Jiang Xiushan. He gestured to the sect heads to sit, and for the cheering cultivators in the plaza to quieten down, before he spoke, "Everyone knows that the Five Element Desolate Domain had been opened not by the Lost Continent, but instead it was the Zhen Mo Continent experts. There are countless treasures in the Five Elements Desolate Domain which can make the our Lost Continent¡¯s cultivators become stronger, but at the same time, those items will also cause people to fight over them. Hence, we can only become stronger, in order to reduce any reliance on others so that we can have the ability to speak up for ourselves." Regardless what reason it was, allowing the Zhen Mo Continent experts to come to the Lost Continent and help the Lost Continent kill countless alien cultivators, to the people of the Lost Continent, was a form of kindness. But as a cultivator himself, Mo Wuji did not think that the Zhen Mo Continent would leave the Five Element Desolate Domain¡¯s treasures behind. He was originally just an observer, so there was no need to think about such things, but now that he was the person that set the rules, and the person that would divide the treasures among others, he had to think for the Lost Continent. Undoubtedly, the Rogue Cultivator 2705 title was very useful for Mo Wuji, as there was not even the slightest disturbance during the duration of his speech, and everyone listened attentively to his plans. "It is not easy for every cultivator on the path of cultivation. Hence I would like to suggest that all cultivators have the right to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, regardless of identity, regardless of cultivation level¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s words incited a large commotion. Some did not understand it, some were cheering, while even more were shocked. "Alliance Head Mo, if everyone charges into Five Elements Desolate Domain, there will be many that die, and more grudges will be formed from the killings that occur, before we even consider how dangerous it is inside. On top of that, this will make the Five Elements Desolate Domain extremely messy," Heavenly Drug Sect¡¯s Sect Head Qin Foyu frowned as he spoke. To this, Mo Wuji answered calmly, "Those that gain the right to go in will still have to perform some assignments. The Hundred Sect Alliance that I suggested is not an empty alliance, but a real alliance of the Lost Continent. In this alliance, we will build a cultivation association, pill association, smith association, array association, talisman association, rogue cultivator association, etcetera. For example, any cultivator can join the cultivation association, and at the same time there will be rankings setup to compare which cultivators of each cultivation level is the strongest. For the pill association, any pill refiner can join, and every pill refinee that joins will undergo certification. We can make use of Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Pill Pagoda¡¯s pill refiner certification¡­" Feng Zhenqiu responded without any hesitation, "Heaven Seeking Palace is willing to have Pill Pagoda become the location for pill refiners¡¯ certification under the Hundred Sect Alliance Pill Association." After he confirmed that Mo Wuji was the one that reached the top of Heaven Seeking Staircase, Feng Zhenqiu was determined to stand on the side of Mo Wuji. The scene of being ridiculed by Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s special envoy was still fresh in his mind, and he believed that Mo Wuji would definitely restore the honor of the Lost Continent cultivators. "Thank you Dean Feng," Mo Wuji immediately bowed respectfully to thank Feng Zhenqiu. Naturally, he had good reasons for his actions. Although the Hundred Sect Alliance had been set up previously, but it was merely a ragtag alliance made in the face of alien cultivators invading. Once his version of the Hundred Sect Alliance was set up with the various associations, even if the alien cultivators invade again, the Alliance would have some way to consolidate their strength. For example, after all the array masters registered with the alliance and gathered together, they would be able to easily bring a large number of array masters together to set up a large array. This process would be in place, instead of asking sect by sect how many array masters they had, and of what grade they were Similarly, pill refiners could gather together to concoct pills, and talisman masters could refine talismans. If this were in place before, even without the Zhen Mo Continent experts¡¯ intervention, the Floating Star cultivators would not have been able to occupy the Lost Continent. With Feng Zhenqiu stepping out first in support of the plan, Mo Wuji¡¯s suggestion quickly got the approval of everyone. So the Five Elements Desolate City would become the encampment of the Hundred Sect Alliance, and various associations will be set up. "Sect Head Mo, I¡¯m also agreeable for this. The most pressing issue that we have to discuss is how to allocate the slots for entering Five Elements Desolate Domain," In the end, Jiang Xiushan could not hold it in much longer, and just blurted out. Chapter 263: Star King Mountain Xia Clan Experts Chapter 263: Star King Mountain Xia Clan Experts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before Mo Wuji could speak, Qin Foyu said, "If I¡¯m not wrong, Alliance Head Mo should be using the associations to select those who are given the right to enter the Five Element Desolate Domain." "That¡¯s right, even though my wish is that all cultivators can enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain at once, but the time is not ripe yet. This is because once we completely open the area, it will descend into a mess. I hope that the various associations can choose their first batch of people to enter Five Elements Desolate Domain. The first batch of cultivators that enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain can exchange the items that they obtain for contribution points from the Hundred Sect Alliance. As long as one has sufficient contribution points, he would be able to ask any pill refiner, smith, talisman master or even array master to do things for you. After the people who entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain for the first time exits, they will have to buy a ticket to enter for the second time," Mo Wuji announced. Feng Zhenqiu asked, "Can the second batch enter after the first batch of people that entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain exits?" Nodding his head, Mo Wuji replied, "Yes, I hope to give every cultivator one free chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, because the Hundred Sect Alliance needs resources to run, contribution points will be a necessity. Any cultivator, including myself, will have to pay a certain amount of contribution points when entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain for the second time." The development of the Hundred Sect Alliance would not be completed by speaking. It required large amounts of resources. So where would these resources come from? Others wouldn''t obediently give them the resources they needed after a single speech, hence it required the hard work of all the cultivators. This was only the first step in Mo Wuji¡¯s plans. After they obtained the various resources inside the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he would let the Hundred Sect Alliance spread its commerce all over the Lost Continent. Only after forming a certain reward system, would the Hundred Sect Alliance begin to flourish and grow. The conference this time was supposed to be an open conference, so every suggestion that Mo Wuji made was instantly spread throughout the whole Five Elements Desolate City. All of the people present supported Mo Wuji¡¯s ideas, as he allowed those who originally did not have the right to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain to have a chance to. Since he had said it, he would make it happen. "I agree with Alliance Head Mo¡¯s idea," Feng Zhenqiu was once again the first to step forward to support Mo Wuji. Qin Foyu also spoke, "I also agree with Alliance Head Mo¡¯s idea, but I¡¯m still worried that there will be too much killing in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. After all, there¡¯s no limit to the cultivation level of those entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, so anyone can enter." In response to that, Mo Wuji said, "I believe that the stronger cultivators will not go to fight with the weak cultivators for some low tier spiritual herbs." He could only make this claim, as he couldn¡¯t just say that cultivation was always based on the survival of the fittest, following the rule of the jungle. Only the people that survive would become stronger. After entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain, there would definitely be many people that get killed, but this was an unavoidable fact. This was a necessary process in order to strengthen the Lost Continent. It was not known if he had understood Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions, but Qin Foyu did not ask any further. "We agree," Before most of the sects had made their position known, the many cultivators on the plaza expressed their support for this idea. The many sect heads on the altar were aware that anyone that brought up an opposing viewpoint would only receive hate from others. Anyway, this suggestion was fair to everyone, so there was nothing much to talk about. Since other people agreed, they themselves would naturally agree to. In barely half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji obtained the approval for the requirements to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. In his mind, Mo Wuji knew that setting these rules was only the start. There were too many things that required him to spearhead, for example, how to set the amount of contribution points for various spiritual herbs and ingredients, and how to set up the entry array for the Five Elements Desolate Domain. ¡­ Star King Mountain. This was the peak of all existences in Zhen Mo Continent. Star King Mountain could be considered more as a symbol than a sect. It could be said that without Star King Mountain, Zhen Mo Continent would have ceased to exist a long time ago. Compared to the alien cultivators that invaded the Lost Continent, Zhen Mo Continent faced various threats from various universes. Precisely because of this, experts were aplenty in Zhen Mo Continent, and all of them were extremely strong. More than half of the experts on Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Universal Board were from Star King Mountain, and the geniuses of various big sects would first go to Star King Mountain, then the Star Wars Battlefield if they wanted to progress further. The Star King Mountain had 10 halls, and each hall¡¯s master was a peerless expert. The strongest hall out of the 10 was naturally the Star Wars Hall, and the Star Wars Hall Master was named Xia Dandao, one of the top level experts of Star King Mountain. In terms of strength, he was definitely in the top three of Star King Mountain. Xia Dandao might not have been the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, but he had absolute speaking rights in there. On top of that, the Xia Clan was also one of the top clans of Zhen Mo Continent, which produced many geniuses and experts. At that moment, in a cave of Star Wars Hall with the densest spiritual energy, a purple robed youth stood with his head hanging. Sitting above him was a slender, small eyed middle aged man. This middle aged man was the Hall Master of Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Wars Hall, Xia Dandao, and standing in front of him, was Xia Mu, who had returned from a trip to the Lost Continent. Although Xia Dandao¡¯s cave had a frightening density of spiritual energy, it was not surprising as he was the Hall Master of Star Wars Hall. However, the rest of the cave was sparsely furnished. Other than a wooden table, there were only two stone stools. "You said that Ceng houyi was killed?" Xia Dandao calmly spoke, yet with an aura which made Xia Mu very afraid. Sia Mu quickly replied, "Yes father. That Rogue Cultivator 2705 has low quality spiritual roots, but is extremely strong. He must have some sort of top grade treasure. My guess is that Ceng Houyi was tempted by the treasure after killing Rogue Cultivator 2705, and escaped with it." "Idiot!" Xia Dandao slammed his hand into the wooden table, leaving a handprint but not shattering it. "Father¡­" Xia Mu¡¯s eyes had a tinge of fear in them as he looked at his father. He did not understand why his father suddenly exploded at him. It took Xia Dandao a moment to calm his raging emotions, before he took a deep breath and said, "Do you think that Ceng Houyi betrayed the Xia Clan for a piece of treasure? Did you investigate this? Do you know why I put Ceng Houyi by your side?" Xia Dandao stood up, and continued in disappointment, "Let me tell you, it is because Ceng Houyi will not betray our Xia Clan, hence I let him follow you. Wu Shuang, come in." "Roger!" A ghost like man appeared in the cave, "Wu Shuang greets Hall Master." "Tell me, where did Ceng Houyi go?" Xia Dandao asked. The man named Wu Shuang bowed, "Hall Master, my report is as follows. I went to the scene of the incident, and after Ceng Houyi was killed, he was brought thousands of kilometers away into the wilderness to be burnt to ashes. As for the rumored cave, I checked it out too. There were no traces of cultivation in it." "This is not possible, who in the Lost Continent could kill Ceng Houyi? Also, you went to the Lost Continent with me, so why didn¡¯t you report this to me then?" Xia Mu shouted. To that, Xia Dandao coldly answered, "Tell this idiot, why didn¡¯t you report this to him then?" Wu Shuang remained expressionless, "Because if I reported it then, young hall master would have definitely got to the bottom of this based on his character, and young hall master might not have been able to return to Zhen Mo Continent." After Wu Shuang finished, Xia Dandao snorted, "Now you know, idiot. Lost Continent¡¯s experts did not appear, but that doesn¡¯t mean that there aren¡¯t any. Since he could easily kill Ceng Houyi, if you dared to investigate, he could kill you with ease too. Even if you were murdered before him, Xu Chihuang that old man would not lift a finger." Xia Mu dared not speak any further, as he knew that his father would not spout nonsense. Since his father said that Ceng Houyi was killed, then he was killed. "This person that dared to kill a person from the Xia Clan, no matter who you are, I, Xia Dandao, will not let you go," Xia Dandao did not continue scolding his stupid son, instead staring into the empty space outside the cave. "Father, so that Rogue Cultivator 2705 is not dead?" Xia Mu warily asked. Xia Dandao snorted again, "With an expert that can easily kill Ceng Houyi backing him up, how could he die this easily? Wu Shuang¡­" "Yes!" Wu Shuang responded, standing straight as ever. Xia Dandao spoke in a more relaxed tone this time, "I heard that when all of you went to the Lost Continent this time, the Level 1 Seal for entry from the Lost Continent to the Five Elements Desolate Domain was broken coincidentally? So there¡¯s no restrictions for entering the Level 1 of the Five Elements Desolate Domain now?" Wu Shuang replied with confidence, "Yes Hall Master. It was broken by Defender Xu. Back then Defender Xu did not hang around, as he said that the cultivation culture of the Lost Continent was too backwards, so Level 1 of the Five Elements Desolate Domain would be left for them to increase their cultivation levels." Xia Dandao nodded his head, and continued, "Make preparations, you will go to the Five Elements Desolate Domain a while later, and sweep Level 1 of all items. At the same time, bring Rogue Cultivator 2705 to Star King Mountain. I¡¯d like to know how many heads and arms this rogue cultivator that occupied rank 1 on the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Mortal Board even before coming to Zhen Mo Continent has." "They should have a Worldly Immortal Stage expert in hiding." Wu Shuang carried on with his report. Upon hearing that , Xia Dandao only smiles slightly, "I¡¯ll let Gu Qi go along with you. How dare a mere Worldly Immortal Stage cultivator touch the Xia Clan." "Roger," Wu Shuang immediately replied. Gu Qi was also a Worldly Immortal Stage cultivator of Star Wars Hall, possibly a little stronger than Xu Chihuang. With him going to the Lost Continent, no matter how strong the experts there were, there was nothing to worry about. "Father, I¡¯ll tag along too," Xia Mu quickly said. But Xia Dan replied with a snort, "You¡¯d better start with closed door cultivation, then we¡¯ll talk about that after you¡¯ve fought your way up the Universal Board. Don¡¯t even think for a moment that you¡¯re talented. Let me tell you, the only reason that you reached Nihility God Stage Level 4 at this age is because you recieved many times more cultivation resources than other people. It has nothing to do with talent. In terms of talent, there are at least 10 cultivators out of those that came from the Lost Continent that surpass you." Chapter 264: Someones Back For The Wordless Pill Manual Chapter 264: Someone''s Back For The Wordless Pill Manual Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Father, if I don''t personally decapitate him with my own hands, I''m afraid I might develop inner demons in my heart," When Xia Mu heard that he was going to be confined, he hurriedly bowed and said. He knew clearly in his heart that his inner demon wasn¡¯t just Cen Shuyin alone. When he returned to Zhen Mo Continent from the Lost Continent, he did not simply try to court Cen Shuyin once. If Cen Shuyin hadn¡¯t threatened to kill herself causing Xu Chihuang to scold him, he would have still continued pestering her. In his perspective, the reason for Cen Shuyin¡¯s vehement rejections was definitely that Rogue Cultivator 2705. He was the dignified hall master of the Star King Mountain Star Wars Hall. To actually lose to a mere rogue cultivator on the battlefield of love, how could his pride swallow it? He was not speaking blindly when he mentioned "inner demons". Rogue Cultivator 2705 was indeed one of his inner demons. When he returned to Zhen Mo Continent, he even found the Rogue Cultivator was number one on the mortal rankings, causing his rage to brew even more. Xia Dandao frowned slightly, but just when he was about to speak, his gaze turned to the outside, "What¡¯s the matter? Come in." A man in yellow friar robes walked in. This man bowed to Xia Dandao, "Answering the hall master. A new void passage has appeared on the Star Wars Battlefield¡­" "More cultivators from other planets have appeared?" Xia Dandao stood up agitatedly. The yellow robed man answered, "This time, it isn¡¯t interplanetary cultivators, but copious amounts of space beasts. The strongest has already exceed Class 9. Our Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s grand space array is placed in great peril. The Star Lord has already personally taken action and has also ordered me to inform the various hall masters." Xia Dandao nodded, "I understand." With that, he turned to Xia Mu and said, "It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t go back to the Lost Continent. But for now, you¡¯ll follow me and temper yourself in the Star Wars. If you can climb up onto the Universal Board, I¡¯ll allow you to go to the Lost Continent. Even if you want that girl, I¡¯ll catch her back and pass it to you. Even if that Xu Chihuang opposes, it would be useless." "Yes, father," Xia Mu celebrated in his heart. As long as he could bring Cen Shuyin back, as time passed, he didn¡¯t believe that she would continue to reject him. Feelings were supposed to be nurtured slowly; it was just that she had spent a longer time with that rogue cultivator. As to how his father found out about his matter with Cen Shuyin, he didn¡¯t find it out of the ordinary. Whatever he did, how could his father not know? On the other hand, he had also long wanted to take part in the Star Wars. It was just that his father had always felt that despite his cultivation, his battle prowess was lacking. Thus, his father didn¡¯t allow him out to the Star Wars Battlefield. Now, it seemed like his father had thought things through and wanted him to temper himself on the battlefield. ¡­ The Hundred Sect Conference at Five Elements Desolate City had come to a completion. The majority of the people were satisfied with the decisions Mo Wuji made as the Hundred Sect Alliance Head. The merchant houses and places in the Five Elements Desolate City had yet to be allocated and occupied. Now with the various alliances forming, they were quickly able to find spaces for their encampments, and at the same time, start recruiting cultivators. The person who was most unsatisfied was Jiang Xiushan. If not for the Lei Clan matter, Jiang Xiushan might have humbled himself and made peace with Mo Wuji. But the Yu Lin Lei Clan had actually been destroyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Sect, so how could he simply lower his attitude? If not for the fact that Mo Wuji was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, he might have helped the Yu Lin Lei Clan exact its revenge. Even if the Yu Lin Lei Clan deserved it, it still had a Lei Hongji which belonged to his Great Evolution Sect. As a sect head, if he didn¡¯t stand up for his disciple, he wouldn¡¯t be able to face Lei Hongji when he returns. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji¡¯s status changed drastically, becoming the Hundred Sect Alliance Head. If he didn¡¯t want his Great Evolution Sect to die, it was best for him not to touch Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to care what was on Jiang Xiushan¡¯s mind; he went ahead to stop one of the sect heads leaving the altar. It was a man with a head full of brown hair, his eyes carried a mysterious tinge of blue, seeming as though it could see through a person. "May I ask if you¡¯re Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s Sect Head Fang Zhentian?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and asked. The brown haired man smiled lightly and returned the courtesy, "I am indeed Fang. Greetings Alliance Head Mo. Alliance Head Mo¡¯s decision making and wonderful speech during this Hundred Sect Conference has earned the respect of Fang." Mo Wuji chuckled, "Many thanks Sect Head Fang for your appreciation. In the future, I¡¯ll still need Sect Head Fang¡¯s support. Today, I came to find Sect Head Fang to ask you about a certain something. Does your esteemed sect have a girl called Yang Yingping?" Fang Zhentian slightly startled, and promptly replied, "That¡¯s right. Yang Yingping is indeed a legacy disciple of my Heaven Demon Sect. Because of a certain incident many years ago, she has entered a closed doors cultivation." Mo Wuji fetched a jade flute and jaded it over to Fang Zhentian, "This is your esteemed sect¡¯s Zheng Hefei final request. He asked me to pass this over to Yang Yingping. I had never been able to find the chance, but today, I hope that Sect Head Fang could help me pass it over to Yang Yingping. Oh right, Zheng Hefei had died in the Five Elements Desolate Domain under Dong Lun¡¯s hands. I have already killed Dong Lun." It was a lie when he said he never had the opportunity.The main reason was that Mo Wuji never had the ability to accomplish this task. If he was an ordinary rogue cultivator, he might very likely have been caught and questioned. He might even lose his little life. Now, he was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head and the Tian Ji Sect Head, handing over this jade flute would only garner gratitude and not suspicion. Fang Zhentian received the jade flute without a hint of surprise, he only clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and said, "Many thanks Alliance Head Mo for helping my Heaven Demon Sect with this minor task." He might look calm on the surface but he was celebrating loudly in his heart. The Heaven Demon Flute, the Heaven Demon Flute had so easily landed in his hands. This was a mission he assigned all his disciples when they entered the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Ultimately, it was discovered by Zheng Hefei, but he didn¡¯t return back alive. Luckily, Zheng Hefei was wise enough to get someone to help him. Fang Zhentian forcefully controlled his emotions, he definitely couldn¡¯t arouse any suspicions from this Alliance Head Mo in front of him. "Sect Head Fang is too polite," Mo Wuji hurriedly replied. His heart was filled with slight surprise. Logically, he was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, Fang Zhentian shouldn¡¯t have simply expressed his gratitude with a simple sentence, right? At the very least, Fang Zhentian should have invited him back to the Heaven Demon Sect. Furthermore, he noticed that when Fang Zhentian left, he looked a little urgent. Mo Wuji had merely helped a disciple of the Heaven Demon Sect hand over an item. Was there a need for Fang Zhentian to get so anxious? Perhaps Fang Zhentian had another matter at hand. Mo Wuji quickly chucked this thought aside. The moment he turned, he saw a middle-aged monk. Even though this middle-aged monk did not go up the altar, Mo Wuji could clearly feel his great strength. He was at least in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage, or even an expert in the True God Stage. "Green Cloud Fort Shen Baiqi greets Alliance Head Mo," Before Mo Wuji could speak, the middle-aged monk took the initiative to clasped his fists and greet Mo Wuji. Green Cloud Fort Shen Baiqi? Mo Wuji pondered, but he clearly didn¡¯t know this person. Seeing that Mo Wuji did not speak, Shen Baiqi smiled, "Alliance Head Mo might not know me but I believe Alliance Head Mo must remember my little girl." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: I don¡¯t even have a girlfriend, why would I remember your daughter? Even though that thought ran through his mind, he still clasped his fist and said, "May I know who your daughter is?" "My little girl is called Shen Lian. She had the fate of meeting Alliance Head Mo back in Chang Luo," Luo Baiqi smiled and continued. He sighed in his heart, if this fella in front of him wasn¡¯t the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, he wouldn¡¯t have spoke this much nonsense. He would have just grabbed him and go. Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding; he was very familiar with Shen Lian. In reality, Shen Lian was the one who initiated him to the world of cultivation. Not only that, his wordless pill manual was a gift from Shen Lian. Now that Shen Lian¡¯s father had arrived, Mo Wuji immediately became extremely polite, "So it¡¯s Pill Master Shen, please pardon Mo Wuji¡¯s negligence." He didn¡¯t know that Shen Baiqi was the Fort Lord of Green Cloud Fort, but he did remember Shen Lian mentioning that her father was a peak Earth pill refiner. Shen Baiqi hurriedly replied, "I wonder if Alliance Head Mo could spare me some time for a chat?" "Of course, Pill Master Shen, please," Mo Wuji extended his hand and maintained his courtesy. He had received great help from Shen Lian, now that Shen Baiqi was here, he naturally had to show some face. Standing slightly far away from Mo Wuji, Wen Manzhu saw Mo Wuji leaving the plaza with Shen Baiqi. She sighed and slowly left. Initially, she still wanted to find Mo Wuji and say some words but she always had some apprehensions. But now that Mo Wuji had left, she had lost all her courage to chase after him. At this moment, those talking to Mo Wuji, which of them aren''t sect heads or feudal lords? She was merely an outer disciple. To even think that she previously thought that Mo Wuji and her were of different worlds. She even wanted to wait till she achieves success in her cultivation and she would bestow Mo Wuji a fortune. But now when she contemplated about it, it was really laughable. ¡­ "Pill Master Shen, I wonder if Shen Lian is doing well?" The two arrived at a newly opened spiritual teahouse; Mo Wuji took the initiative to pour Shen Baiqi a cup of spiritual tea. "Shen Lian was been confined by me because she stole my wordless pill manual." When Shen Baiqi finished that sentence, he turned and looked Mo Wuji in the eye before continuing, "I heard that she told her mother, she had given you the wordless pill manual?" Mo Wuji immediately furrowed his brows, his wordless pill manual was indeed from Shen Lian, but Shen Lian had said that she had purchased it from some roadside stall. Since when did it become a case where she stole from her father? Mo Wuji was soon to react. What heaven defying luck must one have to actually obtain the wordless pill manual from a roadside stall? From the looks of it, Shen Lian had lied to him. "That''s right, the wordless pill manual is with me. I can return you the wordless pill manual but you must release Shen Lian. She''s not in the wrong," Mo Wuji''s tone turned cold. Even though Shen Baiqi was Shen Lian''s father, Mo Wuji was extremely repulsed when he heard about the act of confinement. He did not suspect Shen Baiqi¡¯s words, there was no third party present when Shen Lian gave him the wordless pill manual. Now that Shen Baiqi was aware of this matter, it must definitely have been known from Shen Lian herself. Moreover, Shen Lian and Shen Baiqi have a slight resemblance. Shen Baiqi was slightly shocked, he did not expect that Mo Wuji would be so straightforward and hand over the wordless pill manual. In reality, he had already prepared to exchange even his blood to get the wordless pill manual back. After all, the Mo Wuji in front of him, was not someone he could mess with. "Many thanks Alliance Head Mo. If it was possible, I would not hesitate to release Shen Lian. But because my confinement of Shen Lian had angered her mother, her mother had already brought Shen Lian out of Green Cloud Fort half a year ago." Shen Baiqi spoke with a hint of fatigue. "Sect Head, Jade Net Sect''s He Jianting has already been brought over. At the same time, the Jade Net Sect Head Han Xing had come over," Before Mo Wuji retrieved the wordless pill manual, Xing Huang arrived by his side and said. Chapter 265: Closed Door Cultivation Chapter 265: Closed Door Cultivation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji fetched the wordless pill manual and passed it to Shen Baiqi, "Pill Master Shen, you can leave now. Shen Lian is your daughter so it''s not up to me to decide how you want to punish her. But I have an advice for you, it''s up to you whether you wish to heed it. Even if it''s your daughter who makes a simple mistake, you should not resort to confinement." Shen Baiqi''s mouth went agape. He initially wanted to ask Mo Wuji some questions about the wordless pill manual but it seemed like this Alliance Head Mo no longer wished to talk to him. When it came to cultivation, he was far superior to Mo Wuji, but when it came to position, he was far from this Alliance Head Mo. Shen Lian had taken away the wordless pill manual he risked his life to get. That was a simple mistake? "Then Shen will take his leave." Since Mo Wuji did not wish to speak to him, Shen Baiqi could only keep the wordless pill manual and bid his farewell. The wordless pill manual was something his daughter had given away but now he wanted it back. From whatever perspective, he was throwing his daughter''s face. Thus, it did not seem like a good time for him to form closer relations with Mo Wuji. How could Mo Wuji not know what Shen Baiqi wanted to talk to him about? The wordless pill manual was a legacy manual, if one was not fated, it would be useless even if he had the manual. Furthermore, Mo Wuji had already ran through the entire book, it didn''t matter if Shen Baiqi wanted to take it back. "Greetings Alliance Head Mo," After Shen Baiqi left, a man shrouded in a baleful aura came in with an incredibly handsome youth. Mo Wuji recognised this youth, it was He Jianting. This fella''s dashingly good looks even called for Mo Wuji¡¯s praise. "Sect Head Han, please take a seat," Mo Wuji politely treated the man shrouded in baleful aura. On the other hand, he completely ignored the He Jianting following by the side. He Jianting''s heart was shaking. In reality, when he saw that Mo Wuji had become the Tian Ji Sect Head, and then revealed himself to be Rogue Cultivator 2705, and eventually end up as the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, this series of events had already left his heart in shambles. Was this still the same rogue cultivator ant he met at Fringe City? The same fella who snatched his lightning tempering room? Han Xing sat down and hurriedly said, "I heard that Alliance Head Mo wanted to find my Jade Net Sect disciple, He Jianting. I was worried that there might be a misunderstanding so I specially came over. I hope that the alliance head could pardon this unwelcomed intrusion." Mo Wuji chuckled, "''Sect Head Han is too polite. I came to find He Jianting because there¡¯s this matter which connects us. The Nine Moons Pill House in Fringe City was originally the business of the Zhen Clan, but when I went over, I discovered that the Zhen Clan had disappeared from Fringe City and the Nine Moons Pill House was now under the Jade Net Sect." He Jianting''s face changed drastically. He finally understood how his treasurer at Fringe City died; he had been killed by Alliance Head Mo. Even though He Jianting knew that Mo Wuji had killed his treasurer, he still didn''t dare utter a single word of rubbish. The Mo Wuji in front of him was the alliance head of the Hundred Sect Alliance. Even his Jade Net Sect Head Han had to show Mo Wuji some face. He, He Jianting, could only count as fart. "What''s the issue?" Han Xing''s face also changed immediately as he turned and stared at He Jianting coldly. Mo Wuji was now the alliance head of the Lost Continent''s Hundred Sect Alliance, not of some random cult. Moreover, he had also seen Mo Wuji''s methods, Mo Wuji had easily wiped out the Yu Lin Lei Clan and the Supreme Sword City Dong Clan. Even the Great Evolution Sect Head Jiang Xiushan was helpless against Mo Wuji. If such a person wanted to harm the Jade Net Sect, his Jade Net Sect would not be able to resist. At the moment, Han Xing really wanted to slap He Jianting to death. Out of all people to offend, he chose to offend this new Alliance Head Mo. Even though the Jade Net Sect was a Quasi-Heaven sect, it''s power was not as great as the Supreme Sword City Dong Clan. In a flash, He Jianting''s face had turned pale white. How was he to know that a mere rogue cultivator could become so powerful. If he knew better, even if the Fringe City''s Nine Moons Pill House was given to him, he would not accept it. "It''s none of my business. It''s the Yu Lin Lei Clan that destroyed the Nine Moons Pill House then they wanted to sell it to me, so I bought it¡­" He Jianting could feel his teeth vibrating in their crevices; he knew that he might lose his little life at any moment. "Just tell me, where did the Nine Moons Pill House''s Zhen Shaoke go to?" Mo Wuji''s tone had gone icy cold. Before he obtained concrete evidence, he wouldn''t randomly kill this He Jianting. After all, he was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head. His each and every action were magnified for everyone to see. The Jade Net Sect was also a Quasi-Heaven sect. If he were to kill He Jianting in front of his Quasi-Heaven sect head, it would not be beneficial to the Hundred Sect Alliance, nor would it be beneficial to him. "I don''t know¡­ I only know that the Yu Lin Lei Clan didn''t kill Zhen Shaoke. He should have gone¡­" He Jianting urgently answered. Mo Wuji instantly furrowed his brows, after what happened at the Heaven Seeking City and Fringe City, the Nine Moons Pill House seemed to have vanished without a trace. Han Xing suddenly said, "I¡¯ll give you one chance. You''ll go and search for the Nine Moons Pill House. If you found it, directly report to the Hundred Sect Alliance. If you can''t find it, then you will best the consequences." Seeing Mo Wuji''s silence, Han Xing took the initiative to instruct He Jianting. "Yes sect head. I will definitely put in my best efforts to find the whereabouts of the Nine Moons Pill House," He Jianting knew that his sect head had given him a living opportunity. Mo Wuji knew that Han Xing did that to strengthen the ties between him and the Jade Net Sect and he didn''t have much objections. He had killed the Jade Net Sect''s Shao Guangjing but that was when he wasn''t the alliance head. Now that the Jade Net Sect was had expressed well intentions, he would not tightly grab onto past matters. "Since that''s the case, I will have to thank Sect Head Han." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude. Han Xing hurriedly stood up, "Alliance Head Mo, then I will take my leave." Xing Huang''s gaze made him feel uncomfortable. Now that Mo Wuji didn''t intend to pursue the issue, he would not hesitate to leave. "Ke Ke, you seem to be quite happy as an alliance head. But after a period of time, someone will come for you¡­" After Han Xing departed, a gloating voice suddenly descended beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. The Pill Pagoda''s old white moustached fisherman? Mo Wuji suddenly stood up and looked around in all directions. He even scanned through the area with his spiritual will but he didn''t discover anything. "Don''t bother looking for this old man. This old man is going home to go fishing and I happened to pass by. There''s also something I want to tell you, someone had went to search the place you cremated that Zhen Mo Continent''s True God fella¡­" Mo Wuji''s face changed instantly. The reason why he dared reveal himself was because he believed that the Zhen Mo Continent would not send people over during this short period of time. If he had a longer period of time, the Hundred Sect Alliance could become stronger, and his personal power would also become higher. That would at least give them some room for discussion. But if the Zhen Mo Continent discovered that he had killed Ceng Houyi, then the future would be indeterminable. "Senior, since you saw someone going over, why didn''t you stop him?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. He knew that this old man did whatever he liked, and he was wasting his breath asking this question, but he was truly feeling rather helpless. "Hehe, why must I intervene? How is this sh*t any of my business?" After throwing that sentence, the white moustached old man''s voice completely disappeared. "Sect head, you just said something about stopping?" Xing Huang asked quizzically. Mo Wuji sighed, "Defender Xing, can you go find Dean Feng and tell him that I need to go behind closed doors for a period of time, and that I hope him and the others could work hard for the Hundred Sect Alliance." "Then what about Tian Ji Sect?" When Xing Huang heard that Mo Wuji intended to go behind closed doors, he hurried to ask. "Tian Ji Sect can be left under Sang Yiping. You and Jing Feilan can assist her. My power is truly too low, I need to go back and do some closed doors cultivation." "Yes, sect head can rest assured," Xing Huang said readily. He had already stepped into the True God Stage, even if he went into closed doors cultivation, he wouldn''t be able to improve much during this short period of time. ¡­ After deciding the rough direction of the Hundred Sect Alliance, the Hundred Sect Alliance Head directly vanished from sight. It''s rumored that he had gone into closed doors cultivation. Fortunately, there was the strong support from the Heaven Seeking Palace. Even if Mo Wuji did not leave from his closed doors, the Hundred Sect Alliance still functioned according to his instructions. The various alliances have been formed and the name list of the first batch of people entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain had been decided. Because everyone knew that they had the opportunity to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, the competition to be in the first batch wasn''t as intense as the Five Elements Pill Competition. ¡­ Time passed like flowing water. Because of the vast amounts of resources in the Five Elements Desolate Domain and Mo Wuji''s rule which allowed everyone to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, the abilities of the Lost Continent cultivators soared rapidly. The Hundred Sect Alliance also escalated. As the Hundred Sect Alliance grew stronger, it became to amass large amounts of cultivation resources. In the blink of an eye, two years passed. Tian Ji Sect had also become increasingly prosperous across the days. The Heaven''s Gate Town had become the peerless Heaven''s Gate City. Countless cultivators, mortals and merchants would pass by from here, and everyone who walked in and out of the Heaven''s Gate City would strictly follow the rules. Over the past two years, Mo Wuji did not emerge from his closed doors even once. "Bam!" A huge surge of elemental energy came bounding in all directions, throwing the spirit fog pool under the Tian Ji Sect into chaos. This mad, unrestrained elemental energy was soon completely drawn in by Mo Wuji. In another two hours, Mo Wuji exhaled longly. He had finally advanced into Yuan Dan Stage Level 10. Following the rise in his power, his cultivation speed became increasingly slower. If not for this spirit fog pool formed from the nine spiritual veins, his cultivation would not have soared so quickly. He could feel the clear violet emanation in his dantian. Mo Wuji soon calmed his emotions down as he decided to charge straight to Yuan Dan Stage Level 12. Then he would go and see if he could find an opportunity which could help him advance into the True Lake Stage. "Ding!" At this moment, the warning array he installed suddenly gave out a clear, crisp ring. Mo Wuji startled and immediately sprang out of the spirit fog pool. This warning array had been installed before he went into closed doors. Furthermore, he had specially instructed Sang Yiping multiple times to not alert him unless it was something especially urgent. Over the past two years, the warning array never sounded. Today, it suddenly rang out. Could it be that someone had invaded the Tian Ji Sect? Who would have such balls? Even the Great Evolution Sect wouldn''t dare do it, right? Even though Tian Ji Sect wasn''t big, he was still the Hundred Sect Alliance Head. Mo Wuji urgently closed the spirit fog pool and walked out. The moment he emerged, he saw that Sang Yiping and Pu Qian were already waiting at the Tian Ji Sect Grand Hall. In these two years, both Sang Yiping and Pu Qian had improved in their abilities. "Greetings sect head," When the two saw Mo Wuji emerge, they hurried to bow. "What''s going on?" Mo Wuji saw the look of anxiety on the two''s face and asked anxiously. Chapter 266: They Really Came Chapter 266: They Really Came Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Defender Xing has been seriously injured and the Green Cloud Fort Lord Shen Baiqi has been killed¡­" Sang Yiping said urgently. "What?" Mo Wuji''s faced changed. "Where''s Defender Xing? Exactly who did this? Don''t tell me alien cultivators invaded again?" Xing Huang was a True God, he actually got heavily injured? Not talking about Xing Huang, even that Shen Baiqi had an impressive cultivation, and could even be in the True God Stage. How did he get killed? Sang Yiping caught her breath, but she remained anxious as she said, "It''s an expert from the Zhen Mo Continent. It''s an Worldly Immortal King called Gu Qi. After he came, he ordered you to go and meet him. Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air. The Zhen Mo Continent experts he was most afraid of really came. Unfortunately, his closed doors cultivation only allowed him to advance from Yuan Dan Stage Level 2 to Yuan Dan Stage Level 10. The distance to a Worldly Immortal was still 12,430 miles away. [1] "Since he wants to find me, it''s understandable why he harmed Defender Xing. But why was Shen Baiqi killed?" Mo Wuji calmed down. By the side, Pu Qian sighed, "Shen Baiqi was betrayed by his own Green Cloud Fort''s man. It''s said that he had a wordless pill manual on him. Gu Qi forced Fort Lord Shen to hand over the wordless pill manual but Fort Lord Shen was unwilling. Eventually, he was easily killed by Gu Qi and even his storage ring was taken away." "Who knew that Shen Baiqi had the wordless pill manual?" Mo Wuji''s tone was filled with killing intent. Even though he did not interact much with Shen Baiqi, Shen Baiqi was still Shen Lian''s father. Now that Shen Lian''s father had been betrayed and even killed, how could be let this go? "I heard that it''s someone called Wu Jingwu, he¡¯s Shen Baiqi''s adopted son. It''s said that his father, Wu Wu had once saved Shen Baiqi''s life. After Wu Wu disappeared, Shen Baiqi adopted Wu Jingwu. This time, Wu Jingwu betrayed Shen Baiqi, earning the favour of the Zhen Mo Continent expert. The expert should be bringing him to Zhen Mo Continent," Sang Yiping answered. A long faced man with slitted eyes floated into Mo Wuji''s imagination. Mo Wuji had met the fella once during Chang Luo''s Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference. Then, if not for Shen Lian threatening him to not report the fact what Mo Wuji had assaulted someone at the Spring Immortal''s Gate Conference, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have been able to escape with Yan''Er. Mo Wuji promptly decided, "Pu Qian, immediately go and take care of Defender Xing, then try to drag for some time. Tell those people from the Zhen Mo Continent that I will be coming soon." "Head senior brother, you can go anywhere except Five Elements Desolate City ah. If you go there, you definitely wouldn''t return alive," Sang Yiping said anxiously. Mo Wuji replied calmly, "Even if I cannot return, I must go. I am the Hundred Sect Alliance Head." Sang Yiping''s mouth opened but no words came out. If the Hundred Sect Alliance Head didn''t show himself when an event happened, then he would be a truly useless alliance head. Perhaps hiding might be the best option, but then he wouldn''t be Mo Wuji. Countless cultivators supported him to become the Hundred Sect Alliance Head. It wasn''t because he was the Tian Ji Sect Head, but Rogue Cultivator 2705 - a dauntless rogue cultivator who showed his courage through his actions. ¡­ Five Elements Desolate City. In one of the halls of the Hundred Sect Alliance Building Jiang Xiushan, Feng Zhenqiu and co. all had a pale white expression on their faces. Xing Huang was covered entirely in blood, lying against a pillar in the middle of the hall. It was unclear whether he was dead or alive Roughly 5 meters away from Xing Huang lay a headless corpse. It was the Green Cloud Fort Lord Shen Baiqi. On the power position of the hall sat a eyebrow-less man. This man¡¯s eyes were sunk low, as though nothing in the world could faze him. On each of the eyebrow-less man¡¯s side, there were three to four cultivators. "I will give you another hour. If that Rogue Cultivator 2705 doesn''t get his ass here, I will immediately kill everyone here," The eyebrow-less man suddenly said, his voice seemed to have come from some void far away. "Senior, to come from Tian Ji Sect, it would take at least 4 hours. We have already informed him, I believe he would come very soon. I hope for senior''s patience to wait a little longer," Feng Zhenqiu bowed and said. In reality, because Mo Wuji was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, there was a transfer array from Tian Ji Sect to Heaven Seeking City as well as the Five Elements Desolate City. To come here from Tian Ji Sect would not even need half an incense of time. The reason why he said 4 hours was to give Mo Wuji some time to prepare. His heart was filled with helplessness. Ever since Mo Wuji succeeded as the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, the Hundred Sect Alliance flourished under his plans. Facts have shown that Mo Wuji''s methods were extremely correct and the abilities of Lost Continent''s cultivators did rise greatly. However, when faced with a true expert, he doing that the Lost Continent was still the same. "I will give you another 4 hours. If I don''t see anyone in 4 hours, I will slaughter everyone here," the eyebrow-less man said coldly. He had already predicted that Mo Wuji wouldn''t escape but come here. ¡­ Heaven Seeking Palace. A young cultivator blocked Mo Wuji''s way, "If you barge into the Heaven Seeking Palace, you will be killed without mercy." Mo Wuji did not rush in but fetched out a jade token and said, "I''m the Hundred Sect Alliance Head and I urgently need to find the Pill Pagoda''s Granny Linglong." "Alliance Head Mo¡­" Even though this cultivator hadn''t gone to the Heaven Seeking City, he had long heard of Mo Wuji''s illustrious name. He was once an outer disciple of the Heaven Seeking Palace and under the alias of Rogue Cultivator 2705, he attained the number one spot on the Hundred Sect Alliance''s contribution points ranking. Not only that, two years ago, he rose above several sect heads from large Quasi-Heaven sects to become the Hundred Sect Alliance Head. After knowing that the person was Mo Wuji, the Heaven Seeking Palace''s cultivator immediately retracted this killing intent and quickly bowed, "Alliance Head Mo, I really want to let you into the Heaven Seeking Palace but you''re no longer from the Heaven Seeking Palace. This is truly putting me in a difficult spot¡­" "Let him in, if anything happens, I will be responsible." A voice suddenly interrupted the disciple''s words. "Senior aunt Jinwen?" After the disciple saw who had arrived, he rushed to bow. The person was exactly Shi Jinwen; she nodded to the disciple and then said to Mo Wuji, "Back then, thanks for saving my life. If you''re here to find my master, then you''ve wasted your trip. Ever since the great war, my master had never returned." Granny Linglong still hasn''t come back? Mo Wuji instantly furrowed his brows. He was the one who saved Granny Linglong so he naturally knew that nothing would have happened to her. With Granny Linglong''s cultivation at the True God Stage, even if she didn''t return, she wouldn''t have faced any great difficulty. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer continued thinking about Granny Linglong''s matters. "Pill Master Jinwen, I need to go the Heaven Seeking Palace for some matters and I don''t necessarily need to meet Granny Linglong," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. He truly didn''t come here for Granny Linglong. What he just said was an excuse when that cultivator blocked him. "Go in then. Dean Feng said it before, the Heaven Seeking Palace will always be your home," Shi Jinwen replied. Mo Wuji was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, his position was far above her¡¯s as a pill refiner of the Pill Pagoda. "Many thanks," With that, Mo Wuji''s figure flashed as he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace. He was inwardly very grateful to Feng Zhenqiu; if not for Feng Zhenqiu''s words, he might not be able to come in today. In less than half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji had arrived at that deep cliff next to the Pill Pagoda. When Mo Wuji saw that the white moustached old man was still fishing by the cliff, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief, immediately bowing, "Mo Wuji greets senior." The white moustached old man snickered, pulled on his fishing line and another colourless, transparent fish was seen. The old man''s eyes revealed a hint of excitement as he hurried to keep the little fish in the wooden bucket beside him. After doing all that, he then turned and said to Mo Wuji, "Not bad, not bad, your luck is very good. Both times you came here, both times I got something good. Come, tell me why you''re finding me." Mo Wuji bowed once more, "Junior wants to request senior to help out for one thing. I hope that senior can see that since we''re both from the same sect¡­" "Stop," The white moustached old man directly stopped Mo Wuji, stood up, scanned Mo Wuji up and down before saying, "Those fellas are really fools. To actually take two years to come over¡­. Idiots, idiots¡­" Mo Wuji looked at the old man quizzically; he completely didn''t understand what this old man was saying. The white moustached old man snorted, "Did the Zhen Mo Continent experts come over? They want to find trouble for you so you came to look for me for help. Is that right?" Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "That''s exactly the case. How did senior know?" "Hehe!" The white moustached old man snickered, "I¡¯ve waited for this day for so long. Those fellas are really idiots, they clearly knew that monkey''s ass died in your hands but they still took two years to get their asses here." Mo Wuji finally understood the meaning behind the white moustached old man''s words; he was angered that the Zhen Mo Continent''s experts took so long to come. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "These words of senior''s are not true. That monkey''s ass clearly died in your hands. I obviously didn''t have the capabilities to kill him¡­" With that, Mo Wuji did not continue any further. As he thought about it, that Ceng Houyi was really killed by him. The white moustached old man only heavily injured Ceng Houyi, robbed Ceng Houyi then ran away. Ultimately, Mo Wuji was the one who killed Ceng Houyi and even found a place to cremate him. The white moustached old man stared at Mo Wuji with a wide grin on his face, "Why don''t you continue? Did that monkey''s ass die in my hands or your hands?" Mo Wuji stared speechlessly at this old fella. This fella looked as though he didn''t have a care of the world but he wasn¡¯t any different from a clever monkey. Perhaps he even specially informed the Zhen Mo Continent''s people that Mo Wuji had killed Ceng Houyi and destroyed the evidence. No wonder why when Mo Wuji asked this old fella why he didn''t stop the Zhen Mo Continent''s investigation, this old fella acted like he didn''t give a sh*t. Turns out this old schemer was waiting for this day. "Since everything was in Senior''s calculations, then why must senior include me inside? And what must I do in order for senior to help me out this once?" After knowing that this old man had schemed against him, Mo Wuji directly discussed in the form of a transaction. [1] This is the distance between the North Pole and the South Pole. Chapter 267: True Extreme Mortal Stage Chapter 267: True Extreme Mortal Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The white moustached old man chuckled, "There''s still something I want to tell you. That little lover of yours was saved by me and she went to the Zhen Mo Continent. I even heard that there''s a purple robed monkey called Xia Mu who''s very interested in her. If you don''t hurry over, you will lose your beauty." Mo Wuji directly ignored the old man''s words; everything this old man did seemed to have a motive, "Senior, if you want to trade, then just say it. Don¡¯t be full of twists and turns like a politician." "Solid ah, I like the way we interact with each other: straightforward!" The white moustached old man slapped his thigh and said heartily. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart, If your ways are considered straightforward, then nothing in this world is curved. The white moustached old man did not express a half bit of shame as he said, "The Zhen Mo Continent has something called the Universal Board, it''s different from other boards. In the Heaven Seeking Board, it will record the number of steps you climbed and your name if you carve your name on the Heaven Seeking Staircase. But for the Universal Board, it will see what is your ranking, then allow you to climb up that particular number of steps. Remember ah, the Universal Board is diametrically opposite from the Heaven Seeking Board. The number one step is the highest step." Mo Wuji''s face turned ugly, "You can be expecting me to obtain number one on the Universal Board and then climb it right?" The white moustached old man did not seem to hear Mo Wuji''s sarcasm, with a big thumbs up, he said, "You see, I enjoy working with you. You''ll first obtain number one on the Universal Board and then climb to the number one step. Thereafter, you''ll take the Universal Peak Token from the top. That''s the first thing." Mo Wuji said coldly, "I¡¯ve heard of the Universal Board. It''s the highest board in the entire Zhen Mo Continent. Everyone on that board are either Worldly Immortals or experts beyond Worldly Immortals. Even if there were some in the True God Stage, they would be ranked among the back. This board purely measures the contribution points made in the universe. Not only must one''s cultivation be high, one''s contribution must also be number one. You want me to be the first on the Universal Board? Moreover, the first place on the Universal Board had long been occupied. Even if I climbed up, the Universal Peak Token wouldn''t belong to me." The white moustached old man hurriedly waved his hands, "It''s nothing, it''s nothing. The first places on the Universal Board have always been old fogeys over a hundred years old. If the reach the first place on the Universal Board after 100 years old, they wouldn''t be able to climb to the number one step of the Universal Board. Moreover, few people on the Zhen Mo Continent would climb the Universal Board. Do you think that they ate too much and have too much energy to spare? They only care about leaving their name behind on the Universal Board and wouldn''t even know that it could be climbed. So, you just need to reach the first place on the Universal Board before you turn 100, then you will have a chance to obtain the Universal Peak Token. If you go over once you''re above 100, you don''t deserve to be the number one on this low levelled continent. With that talent, there wouldn''t even be any meaning in climbing up." Mo Wuji sighed, "So that''s why you saved Cen Shuyin and thought of ways to send her to the Zhen Mo Continent right?" Mo Wuji had long inquired about Cen Shuyin''s matter, he knew that this old fogey had saved her and threw her at the entrance of the Sword Lake without any explanation. Furthermore, it was the Sword Lake elder himself who found an explanation. "This are your own words, I never forced her to go to the Zhen Mo Continent ah. I didn''t say anything, I was purely doing a good deed. Eventually, she was the one who wanted to go to the Zhen Mo Continent and I even heard she¡¯s harassed by a little monkey called Xia Mu. So that''s why ah, you should hurry over. Court her and coerce her to bed, then you can carry on," The white moustached old man hastily answered. Mo Wuji plainly said, "I¡¯ve always liked being straightforward. If you continue to twist and turn then I will stop talking. At the very most, you can get the person you sent to the Zhen Mo Continent to fight for you." The old fogey was too lazy to even step out when the alien cultivators almost destroyed the Lost Continent. Mo Wuji didn''t believe that he would be so kind-hearted to save Cen Shuyin as a ''good deed¡¯. The white moustached old man chortled, "Ah, you''re talking about Cen Shuyin ah. Now that I think about it, I did have that in mind when I saved her. But a larger part of me wanted her to follow you to the Zhen Mo Continent." Mo Wuji went silent without a word, he knew Cen Shuyin''s character. To exchange for a lightning-type skill, she was willing to pester an outer disciple. If she had the chance to go to the Zhen Mo Continent to pursue the Dao, she definitely wouldn''t give it up. Even he knew Cen Shuyin''s character, there was no reason why this old fogey wouldn''t know. "Talk about the second condition then. I believe that you definitely won''t settle for just one thing," Mo Wuji calmed down. The white moustached old man had already made things clear, saving him was for a purpose. At least it was much better than those fake gentleman. The old man immediately smiled and said, "The second condition is for you to bring the two tokens to the immortal sealing array in the Gods Tower and save a person called Ji Li. Only after you do this, our trade will be complete." "Where''s the Gods Tower? Who is Ji Li? I don''t even know," Mo Wuji said calmly. The white moustached old man waved his hands, "When you have the abilities, you will naturally find out. If you don''t have the abilities, knowing about it would also be useless." "Since that''s the case, why don''t you find someone more capable to do it?" Mo Wuji frowned and asked. This was the first time the old man revealed an aggrieved expression, "You don''t think I want to? When I started to defend this place, the Heaven Seeking Palace was nothing much. Then, the Lost Continent gave birth to many geniuses, experts were as plenty as the clouds. However, no one could climb to the top Heaven Seeking Palace. There was one time, I met this fella who climbed to the 107th step of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. I was so happy, my balls almost dropped out. Unfortunately, that fella did not manage to step upon the 108th step." Seemingly immersed in the recollection of the long time he was cooped here, the old man took some time to get rid of the nostalgia in his eyes before he continued, "You don''t have spiritual roots but you came up with your method of cultivating by opening meridians. Not only that, you even found 108 meridians in your body. Even though they have not all been fully perforated, I believe that it is simply a matter of time. You were also incredibly lucky, finding the most suitable cultivation technique for you, the Immortal Mortal Technique. So that''s why you are the only one here in the Lost Continent that could truly tread upon the true Extreme Mortal Stage, and you also have the chance of attaining the true Extreme Earth Stage. Of course, most importantly, you reached the 108th step. You may not know this but when you brought the Immortal Seeking Token down, I almost wanted to snatch it from you and leave this place. I would have gone to the Zhen Mo Continent to search for geniuses. However, I resisted that temptation; why find others when I could choose you. Even though I don''t view your meridian cultivation highly, where else would I find another person as exceptional as you?" As he recalled the old fogey''s reaction when he offered the Immortal Seeking Token, Mo Wuji could come to a rough understanding. He never thought that this old fogey could even see through his cultivation method through opening meridians. Exactly what was the fella''s origins? Did this old fogey also know that he didn''t have a golden core but a violet emanation? "Senior, I''m sure I''m not the only Extreme Mortal Stage cultivator. Even in the Lost Continent alone, there are a few. It''s just that most of them only reached Level 10, while I reached Level 12," Mo Wuji corrected the white moustached old man''s misunderstanding. The white moustached old man chuckled, "Three levels equate one small stage. For example, you''re now in the Yuan Dan Stage. Yuan Dan Level 1 to 3 is the Yuan Dan Elementary Stage, Level 4 to 6 is the Yuan Dan Intermediate Stage and Level 7 to 9 is the Yuan Dan Advanced Stage. Since each three levels is a minor stage, why would there only be one level in the Extreme Mortal Stage? Let me tell you, the true Extreme Mortal Stage has three levels, that is Level 10 to Level 12. So all those Level 10 Extreme Mortal Stage cultivators are merely consoling themselves. Hei, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning ah." So that''s the case, Mo Wuji finally understood why each of his stage was 12 levels. It wasn''t him who had cultivated wrongly, but it others. So the fact was that he was one of the small handful of people who grasped the truth ah. "Senior, if that''s the case, I agree. But I will have to put thing upfront, I will only try my best. But if I never find the Gods Tower in my entire life, then I wouldn''t be able to open the immortal sealing array. Of course, perhaps I might help senior find an inheritor," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. The old man sighed, "I estimate that with your astuteness and your methods, there wouldn¡¯t be problem living till you¡¯re 1800 years old. If you wait for 1800 years, then there wouldn¡¯t be much of a point going to the Gods Tower." ¡­ "Four hours have arrived." In the Five Elements Desolate City, the eyebrow-less man suddenly stood up, his killing intent flooded in all directions as he prepared to start his slaughter. With this inundating killing intent, all the sect heads in the hall slowly took a few steps back. No one thought that this was faked. The other party was a Worldly Immortal King, if he said he want massacre the entire Five Elements Desolate City, then he would do it. Jiang Xiushan''s face sunk as he said coldly, "He truly says one thing but does another. Where''s that courage and grandeur he demonstrated two years ago on the Five Elements Desolate Plaza? These two years, we¡¯ve slogged hard for the Hundred Sect Alliance, but where was he?" "Don''t tell me everywhere I go, I must report to you, Jiang Xiushan? Jiang Xiushan, are you the alliance head, or is it me, Mo Wuji, who''s the alliance head?" Mo Wuji''s voice could be heard from afar followed by Mo Wuji slowly walking into the hall. Jiang Xiushan¡¯s voice lagged, he didn''t know that Mo Wuji would appear at this time. If he did, he should have said that sentence a little later. Mo Wuji had arrived and the entire hall of people heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone knew, if Mo Wuji came, at most he would die. But if he didn''t come, then everyone was screwed. "Alliance Head Mo." Feng Zhenqiu clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, his face was bitter. According to principle, when the Hundred Sect Alliance faces difficulties, they shouldn''t let the alliance head stand out alone against it. But for now, besides having Mo Wuji stand forward to defend them, there was nothing else they could do. It wasn''t because everyone was afraid of death, it was just that throwing additional eggs at a rock would never break it. Since that''s the case, why waste the eggs? "You''re Rogue Cultivator 2705?" The eyebrow-less man coldly sized Mo Wuji up, his eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He felt that the spiritual ripples around Mo Wuji were weak. According to his knowledge, Mo Wuji''s roots should be very ordinary. "I have no debts or grievances with you. Did you specially come to find me because of that Xia Mu?" Mo Wuji looked at the eyebrow-less man and asked calmly. "Enough with the nonsense, let''s go." The eyebrow-less man lifted his hand and extended it towards Mo Wuji. However, his face immediately changed as he retracted his hand, and at the same time, punching towards the hall entrance. The punch brought with it a surge of explosive energy, causing the whole room to tremble. It was like a huge dragon wanted to devour the entire hall. Chapter 268: Liters Of Rice Breeds Grace, Buckets Of Rice Breeds Hatred Chapter 268: Liters Of Rice Breeds Grace, Buckets Of Rice Breeds Hatred Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations However, when this terrifying elemental energy reached the hall entrance, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. The eyebrow-less man stepped out of the hall, his killing intent soaring straight towards the Five Elements Desolate City''s sky. The old fisherman''s lazy voice transmitted next to Mo Wuji''s ear, "This little browless kid will vanish. Remember what I tasked you to do ah." "Wait, kill all the True God Stage experts here, I can''t beat them. Also, I want the Green Cloud Fort Shen Baiqi''s storage ring, I want to give that to a friend¡­" Mo Wuji hurried to the door and shouted. Shen Baiqi had been killed, but Mo Wuji must return his things back to Shen Lian. Otherwise, how could he live up to the help Shen Lian offered him. "Pui Pui¡­" Several beams of light shot in. Each beam of light pierced through the forehead of the Zhen Mo Continent''s True God experts, bringing along a slight trail of blood. "Ding!" Following which, a storage ring landed by Mo Wuji''s side. "I''ve done what you asked me to, now it''s your turn to help me," The old man''s voice descended beside Mo Wuji''s ear before disappearing completely. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the ring from the floor, then went to those Zhen Mo Continent experts, who didn''t even know how they died, and took away their rings. The old fisherman could be considered kind; he didn''t fight with Mo Wuji for the spoils of war. It was like he could tell that Mo Wuji was unhappy so he left behind some treats. Everyone else in the hall were shocked still, what just happened? Just now, all of them were still being threatened by that Worldly Immortal King. How did the alliance head casually draw that Worldly Immortal away and even killed these True God Stage experts in a single swoop? That''s not right, it was those light beams which killed the five to six True God Stage experts. What on earth would that cultivation be? As they thought of this, everyone in the hall turned towards Mo Wuji and looked at him with eyes of reverence. No wonder why he could easily destroy an alien True God expert, there was an incomparably strong expert behind this Alliance Head Mo¡¯s back. Easily bringing away a Worldly Immortal King, then casually killing True God experts like ants. With this sort of power, even that eyebrow-less Worldly Immortal was just a little kid. Mo Wuji walked in front of Xing Huang, placed a pill in Xing Huang''s mouth and slapped Xing Huang''s back. Xing Huang coughed out a mouth of congested blood. "Sect head¡­" When Xing Huang opened his eyes, he saw Mo Wuji in front of him. Mo Wuji nodded, "It''s okay now, hurry and recover." With that, he stood up and said to a youth who had already walked to the entrance, "Wu Jingwu, you think you can just simply leave like that?" This youth hurriedly stopped in his tracks and bowed towards Mo Wuji, "Wu Jingwu greets Lord Alliance Head. Lord Alliance Head is peerless with no equal, you easily got rid of those invaders." When he was saying these words, Wu Jingwu''s long face was pitch white, even his slitted eyes were shaking incredibly. "You should have introduced yourself as Green Cloud Fort''s Wu Jingwu. I don''t understand, I have met many people with wolf hearts and dog lungs [to be ungrateful], but if I called you the same, I would be insulting the wolves and dogs. You think that no one would stop you if you went to the Zhen Mo Continent, so you actually plotted against Shen Baiqi who adopted and raised you? Don''t tell me that Shen Baiqi raised you by feeding you his sh*t and letting you drink his urine? You don''t even have a sense of gratitude?" Mo Wuji slowly walked over, his killing intent soaring. He despised a certain kind of people the most: ingrates that bit the hands that fed them. "I¡­" Wu Jingwu took two steps backwards and suddenly cried out hoarsely, "Shen Baiqi only treated me like a dog. He said that he would let me inherit the Green Cloud Fort, but did he even have the slightest intention to do that? When his daughter, Shen Lian, stole his thing, he only told me that he wanted me to find Shen Lian then he would betroth Shen Lian to me. I toiled day and night to find Shen Lian but he seemed to have forgotten about this matter, never mentioning it. But let''s ignore that. He clearly couldn''t crack the wordless pill manual, but he wouldn''t let me see it¡­" Mo Wuji''s face turned increasingly cold, "Ingrates always have a unique way of thinking. Wu Jingwu, you say Shen Baiqi treated you like a dog but do you think a dog could cultivate to this stage? Unless Green Cloud Fort''s dogs are all so lucky? All of them can consume spiritual pills and use spirit stones to cultivate? I finally understand one sentence, that is "Liters of rich breeds grace, buckets of rice breeds hatred". If Shen Baiqi really treated you like a dog then you really know how to bite your owner. From the looks of it, Shen Baiqi really treated this dog too well." With that, Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered nagging at Wu Jingwu. He extended his hand and shot an electroball out. Sometimes, you just offer someone a little bit of help and he would remember it. Other times you would help someone immensely and he would think that you had more to offer. When you didn''t do that, he would start to hate you. In the world, the most terrifying thing was the human heart because that''s where human sins lie. "Boom!" The electroball exploded. Wu Jingwu exploded into a fog of blood. When Mo Wuji turned, the crowd hastily bowed and greeted, "Greetings alliance head." If it was the previous Mo Wuji, it was primarily because of the Heaven Seeking Palace''s and the large masses¡¯ support which led to many of the sect heads electing him to be the alliance head. But now, no one felt that they made a mistake in electing the current Mo Wuji. Before Mo Wuji could start questioning him, Jiang Xiushan took the initiative to walk over and bow, "Jiang Xiushan is narrow-minded. I hope the alliance head doesn¡¯t take this to heart." Behind Mo Wuji was an existence that could easily annihilate a Worldly Immortal King. Even if Jiang Xiushan''s guts were multiplied by over 9000 times, he wouldn''t dare to not show respect to Mo Wuji. Jiang Xiushan did not think that the after the Zhen Mo Continent Worldly Immortal King left this place, he could ever return. Mo Wuji''s gaze landed Jiang Xiushan as he coldly said, " Sect Head Jiang, even though I don''t look up to you, you''re still a man. I can clearly tell you now, the Great Evolution Sect is the Great Evolution Sect, while Lei Hongji is Lei Hongji. If your Great Evolution Sect continues to raise Lei Hongji as its flag and have Lei Hongji representing the Great Evolution Sect, then I assure you that Lei Hongji''s and the Great Evolution Sect''s funeral would come very soon." If this was the previous Mo Wuji speaking, even if he was the Hundred Sect Alliance Head, Jiang Xiushan would not hesitate to snap out and even fall out with Mo Wuji. But now, he was aware that Mo Wuji was speaking the truth. Even a Worldly Immortal King was eliminated by Mo Wuji''s backer, much less his Great Evolution Sect. "It will be as Alliance Head Mo says," Jiang Xiushan replied respectfully. Even though his ego was big, he wouldn''t gamble with the survival of the Great Evolution Sect. Mo Wuji did not continue with Jiang Xiushan, but proactively walked to the power position the eyebrow-less man was sitting on. He then said, "Everyone, please take a seat. Over these past two years, I went behind closed doors. During this time, the Hundred Sect Alliance has grew stronger. This is all thanks to everyone''s hard work. As the alliance head, I''m truly ashamed." The few Hundred Sect Alliance cultivators had long dragged the surrounding corpses away. "If not for alliance head''s plans, our Lost Continent, even our Hundred Sect Alliance would not have advanced at such a rapid pace," Feng Zhenqiu was the first to speak out. When he previously supported Mo Wuji, it was because he looked highly upon Mo Wuji''s potential. But now, it was truly because of Mo Wuji''s capabilities. His words were not wrong. Before Mo Wuji went behind closed doors, he designed plans and rules which were very suitable for the Five Elements Desolate City. Even though there were some loopholes in the rules, under the efforts of the Hundred Sect Alliance in these two years, these loopholes had largely been covered. The Jade Net Sect Head, Han Xing, stood forward and said, "Answering the alliance head, two years ago, you entrusted me with a matter. I have already found some clues." "Oh, what is it?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. Han Xing saw that Mo Wuji did not intend to hide anything so he hurriedly answered, "It turns out they had some internal problems. So they left the Lost Continent from the Sky Sea. As to where they went, I also went out to sea to take a look, but I didn''t even find a single clue." Mo Wuji waved his hand disappointedly, "So it''s like that. Many thanks Sect Head Han." Mo Wuji already knew that the Nine Moons Pill House had some internal problems. Since Zhen Shaoke had gone out to sea, Mo Wuji did not have any ways of finding him. He could only hope that Zhen Shaoke''s luck would be not bad so that he could survive in the tumultuous Sky Sea. The several sect heads saw that the Jade Net Sect Head had accepted the alliance head''s private task and they were all slightly envious of Han Xing. Mo Wuji knew that Han Xing was careful in his work, so Mo Wuji would no longer care about this issue. "Alliance Head Mo, the Zhen Mo Continent has as many experts as there are clouds. This time, the sect head managed to settle the issue. But if they continued to send stronger people, how would our Lost Continent be able to defend against it?" A man with slightly tussled hair stood forward. Mo Wuji recognised this man, he was the Thousand Array Gatekeeper, Yu Hexi. Don''t underestimate the Thousand Array Gate because it was only an Earth sect. In the Lost Continent, no one would belittle the Thousand Array Gate. In the Lost Continent, at least 70 to 80% of sect protecting arrays were installed with the help of the Thousand Array Gate. Even the entry array into Five Elements Desolate City was built by the Thousand Array Gate. Yu Hexi wasn''t just the Gatekeeper of the Thousand Array Gate, but also the association head of the Array Association. "Association Head Yu''s words are indeed on point," Mo Wuji respected this Yu Hexi much more than Jiang Xiushan. It was just that Jiang Xiushan''s cultivation was higher. But still, Jiang Xiushan would not catch Mo Wuji''s eye. In contrast, Mo Wuji looked at this Yu Hexi with a different light. "I intend to install another grand defensive array at the Five Elements Desolate City. The moment someone enters our Lost Continent through the Five Elements Desolate Domain, we will be first to get notified. I would need to trouble Association Head Yu to help with the grand defensive array," Mo Wuji even stood up and clasped his fists. The best solution was naturally to install an array which encompassed the entire Lost Continent. However, that was impossible. Let''s not talk about Mo Wuji''s current cultivation, but even if he was in the True God Stage, it would be difficult to install such a huge array. Thus, Mo Wuji could only take a step back and think of ways to hinder the Zhen Mo Continent''s path into the Lost Continent. To come over from the Zhen Mo Continent, there were only two ways: the Five Elements Desolate Domain and the Sky Sea. Mo Wuji knew that if the Zhen Mo Continent experts were to come to the Lost Continent, they would definitely choose to traverse the Five Elements Desolate Domain instead of the Sky Sea. The journey across the Sky Sea was multiple times longer and it was also easy to get lost. Chapter 269: The Green Flame In The Depths Of Lost Sky Ruins Chapter 269: The Green Flame In The Depths Of Lost Sky Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yu Hexi quickly spoke, "You flatter me. As long as it¡¯s something related to array dao, I¡¯ll definitely put in all the effort I can muster. But what I¡¯m worried about is if we are still unable to block out true experts even with the best defensive array." Mo Wuji smiled, " Association Head He need not worry about that. Once an expert breaks through the array, there¡¯ll be someone there to deal with him." This was the arrangement that Mo Wuji made with the white moustached old man. He would be responsible to complete the assignments that the white moustached old man gave him, and the white moustached old man would have to help him look after the Lost Continent. As soon as alien cultivators invaded the area, the old man was not permitted to act as though as he didn¡¯t know anything. After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s hearts were set at ease, and Feng Zhenqiu added on," Alliance Head Mo don¡¯t worry, now the Hundred Sect Alliance has sufficient resources, so the Array Association can even set up the best intermediate grade array." Mo Wuji nodded his head, the best intermediate grade array would be a grade 6 array, and setting up a grade 6 array was something rather difficult for cultivators below True God Stage. Even True God Stage cultivators would have to put in a lot of effort to set one up. He believed that the white moustached old man would keep their agreement in mind, and take action whenever there was a disturbance. "On top of that, I have another more urgent matter to discuss with everyone¡­" Mo Wuji planned to give up the position of Alliance Head, and head to Zhen Mo Continent. Since he had promised the white moustached old man, he would have to do it. While his current cultivation level was still insufficient for travelling across the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he could still travel by the Sky Sea. Before he could bring up the topic of resignation, a flying messenger sword shot straight into Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s hands. As he opened the flying messenger sword, his expression changed, and he passed the letter to Mo Wuji. "Granny Linglong?" After reading the contents of the message, Mo Wuji was shocked. He had saved Granny Linglong once before, and since then Granny Linglong never returned, but a letter from her was right in front of him now. Feng Zhenqiu spoke solemnly, "Yes, Linglong said that she was lured to the Lost Sky Ruins, the ancient battlefield of the gods which even I dare not enter carelessly. However, she found something extremely important and is now trapped inside." He was willing to share this information because he knew what kind of place the Lost Sky Ruins was. It was definitely not part of his plan to roam the Lost Sky Ruins, thinking that he could ride on his status as a member of Heaven Seeking Palace. Naturally, Mo Wuji knew what Feng Zhenqiu meant: he wanted to pass on this issue to the Alliance Head. Mo Wuji had entered the Lost Sky Ruins once before, hence he was very clear of the dangers that lay within it, even though he only entered the outer regions of the ruins previously. Now that Linglong was in trouble, he could not ignore her. His plan to head to Zhen Mo Continent would have to wait, after all his agreement with the old man would only expire a few decades later, so he had all the time in the world. "Fellow sect heads, Granny Linglong is not only the number one Heaven Pill Refiner of the Lost Continent, but also a True God Stage expert. If anything happens to her, it will be a great loss to us. I intend to personally lead four people into the Lost Sky Ruins. Anyone who is willing to go with me, step forward," Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze fell on the many sect heads. "I¡¯ll naturally follow sect head." Xing Huang might still have been injured, but after Mo Wuji helped him, he was recovering quickly. Feng Zhenqiu stepped forward too, "I¡¯ll go as well." Granny Linglong was a member of Heaven Seeking Palace, so he could not turn this opportunity down. Jiang Xiushan stood up quickly, but before he could speak, Mo Wuji opened his mouth, "Sect Head Jiang will stay, Association Head Yu has to set up the defensive array for Five Elements Desolate Domain, so I¡¯ll have to trouble you to help him out. This time, Elder Feng Zhe will represent Great Evolution Sect to go with me." Feng Zhe was also a True God Stage expert, so now the overall strength of those going to the Lost Sky Ruins was sufficient. "Roger Alliance Head," Jiang Xiushan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the task that Mo Wuji assigned to him while the Great Evolution Sect was not left out for the expedition to the Lost Sky Ruins. "Alliance Head, please count me, Fang Zhentian, in," A brown haired man with a weird look in his eyes stepped out. As he observed Fang Zhentian, Mo Wuji knew that his cultivation level had increased, and he had broken through Nihility God Stage to reach True God Stage Level 1. "Congratulations Sect Head Fang for advancing to True God Stage, since it is so, then the fourth person shall be Sect Head Fang. Good, the rest of the sect heads, please help Sect Head Jiang and Association Head Yu to finish up the defensive array for the Five Elements Desolate Domain as soon as possible," Mo Wuji quickly said once he saw that there were more people about to step out. Upon hearing this, Fang Zhentian was shocked. He had only advanced to True God Stage not long ago, and while others did not know, Mo Wuji, a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, actually found out with a glance. "Congratulations Sect Head Fang," When they heard that Fang Zhentian broke through to True God Stage, the other sect heads came forward to congratulate him. Mo Wuji then stood up, "This matter must not be delayed, Sect Head Jiang and Association Head Yu, quickly start preparations for setting up the defensive array. Dean Feng, Defender Xing, Sect Head Fang, and Elder Wang, we will head to the Lost Sky Ruins now." ¡­ The Lost Sky Ruins. There was a pretty high death rate for those that entered it, but there were still cultivators who would choose to enter this place. Only after the Five Elements Desolate Domain opened, the people coming here began to lessen. Everyone that entered the Lost Sky Ruins had to pass through the marketplace outside of it. Moreover, the marketplace had one side in the open and another in the shadows. The one in the open was controlled by the Sky Ruin Alliance, while the one in the shadows was a black market controlled by Lord Mang. Originally, the number of people in the black market was relatively little, and ever since the Five Elements Desolate Domain opened, the numbers dwindled further. In order to increase the human traffic for his black market, Lord Mang couldn¡¯t help but do some advertisement. This naturally disrupted the balance between both sides, causing the competition between them to intensify. As for the marketplace outside of the Lost Sky Ruins, the constant clashes made the place increasingly unruly. When Mo Wuji arrived at the Lost Sky Ruin¡¯s marketplace, Sky Ruin Alliance¡¯s men were in the midst of a confrontation with Lord Mang¡¯s men. "Screw off to one side¡­" A man from Sky Ruin Alliance scolded immediately as he saw Mo Wuji walk in between both parties without thinking. However right after he completed half a sentence, he was sent flying with a slap from Sky Ruin Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, Ou Shicheng. Before he could understand why his Alliance Head would slap him, he saw Ou Shicheng bow respectfully to the youth that had barged in. "Sky Ruin Alliance¡¯s Ou Shicheng greets Alliance Head," Ou Shicheng spoke with a humble tone. Mo Wuji was an Alliance Head and while he was also an Alliance Head, he was just an ant when compared to this Alliance Head of the Hundred Sect Alliance He was very lucky to have gone to the Five Elements Desolate Domain back then to personally witness the process of this youth becoming the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head. As soon as Ou Shicheng¡¯s finished speaking, the black market¡¯s Lu Mang quickly stepped forward to welcome Mo Wuji, bowing respectfully as well, "Lu Mang greets Alliance Head." Mo Wuji was a speechless after seeing the scene in front of him unfolding like a gang fight. These people were still a bunch of cultivators, but they did not have a demeanor fitting of one. "Disperse the crowd, Lu Mang and Ou Shicheng stay, I have a few things to ask about," Mo Wuji casually said. Since the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head had spoken, regardless whether it was Sky Ruin Alliance¡¯s Ou Shicheng or Lord Mang, neither dared to oppose him, as they quickly ordered their men to leave. Even though Feng Zhenqiu and co. were not on Mo Wuji¡¯s side, the both of them dared not act disrespectfully towards him. Based on his rank 1 placing on the Hundred Sect ALliance Contribution Points Board, this was not a person that Ou Shicheng and Lu Mang could afford to offend. "Lu Mang, let me ask you, are you aware of the existence of a Honest Qi¡¯s Provision Shop in the black market? Where is he now? Where did he come from?" Mo Wuji was not here for Honest Qi, but since he had made the trip already, he might as well find out. Lu Mang quickly answered, "I would like to report to Alliance Head that Honest Qi has been in the black market for nearly 20 years, and I don¡¯t know where he came from. However, a few years ago, he died in his own shop, and the shop has been sealed off by me." Mo Wuji did not probe further, as he knew that it would not yield much. Something like Honest Qi dying in his own shop was only believable to someone like Lu Mang. "Has there been anything going on in the Lost Sky Ruins recently?" This question was targeted at both Lu Mang and Ou Shicheng. "Yes," Both of them responded almost instantly after Mo Wuji completed his question. "What happened? Spit it out," Mo Wuji came here to inquire about things just in case. Who knew that he would actually get some information? Ou Shicheng fought to answer first, "Six days ago, a green flame shot to the sky from the depths of the Lost Sky Ruins. The flame was at least hundreds of meters tall, and illuminated half the sky green." "Did anyone find out what happened?" Mo Wuji continued asking. Shaking his head, Ou Shicheng replied, "No, that place was in the deepest region of the Lost Sky Ruins, so no one dared to go. Anyone that goes is guaranteed to die." Seeing that he had no chance to speak, Lu Mang added on, "I can remember the position of the flame, it should be at the location where the Cock Star rises." The Cock Star was a star that rose when the cocks crowed in the morning, and Lu Mang had pointed out the general direction to go from his words alone. Upon hearing that, Mo Wuji said, "If you guys continue to wreck the Lost Sky Ruins¡¯ marketplace like this, it will soon disappear. From now on, this place will come under the jurisdiction of the Hundred Sect Alliance. Lu Mang, you will pass down my orders, and you will be responsible of going to the Five Elements Desolate City to inform the Hundred Sect Alliance of this, then you will help the Hundred Sect Alliance alongside Ou Shicheng to build up Sky Ruins City. After this is done, both of you can take up a position each, and own a shop here. As for the business in Sky Ruins City, it will all be handed over to the Hundred Sect Alliance." "Roger, we will follow Alliance Head¡¯s orders," Ou Shicheng and Lu Mang dared not disagree a single bit. Both of them had fought each other furiously, but in the end, it only took some words from Mo Wuji and this place had gone to the Hundred Sect Alliance. Not only couldn¡¯t they complain, they also had to put in their utmost effort to build up Sky Ruin City. After settling the issue of Lost Sky Ruin¡¯s market with a casual conversation, Mo Wuji brought the four True God Stage experts along into the Lost Sky Ruins, racing towards the direction of the Cock Star. Chapter 270: Scholar’s Heart Chapter 270: Scholar¡¯s Heart Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Although the five of them had their own flying magic treasures, Mo Wuji was the slowest. Barely two hours later, the group of five arrived in an area full of weeds. In the midst of the weeds were broken walls everywhere, and also some remains of ancient buildings. Mo Wuji had been here before, and back then he spent days to reach it, but now they only took less than two hours. "This place is full of disgusting worms. When we return, let¡¯s wipe these things out," As their flying ships passed over this patch of weeds, Mo Wuji spoke. Feng Zhenqiu quickly replied, "No, definitely not. These worms must not be disturbed, as once they are provoked, even a True God Stage cultivator might not be able to escape." Puzzled, Mo Wuji asked, "I don¡¯t think so. Previously I passed through this area before, and killed quite a number of worms." What cultivation was Mo Wuji at then, and what level was he at now? On top of that, there were four True God Stage cultivators present, so how could they fear the worms? As Feng Zhenqiu stared at Mo Wuji, he shook his head. The ignorant really had no fear. "Alliance Head, this only means that you have good luck, otherwise you passed through an area of the young worms. Perhaps you didn¡¯t stay for long, and did not anger any of the grown worms. Once the grown worms get angry, they can start flying, and they don¡¯t stop until they die. Regardless who provoked them, they will continue to stick onto the person, until his flesh and blood has been sucked dry." Upon hearing this, a cold shiver ran down Mo Wuji¡¯s spine. This was simply too scary. Luckily he had left the area of weeds immediately after crossing it. Otherwise if he was surrounded by the worms¡­ He dared not imagine the scenario any further. "There was a True God Stage cultivator that passed through here once. He had crossed the area, but because he suddenly felt unhappy, he started torching the worms here, which eventually angered the worm king. In the end, the True God Stage expert was devoured alive by countless worms," Feng Zhenqiu was afraid that Mo Wuji did not understand the severity of the situation completely, so he took the initiative to quote an example. Xing Huang also added on, "Dean Feng is right, the worms here are also called Tarsal Bone Worms. Whoever is marked by them will never escape. On top of that, these worms can tunnel through a person¡¯s skin into their bone marrow, and even a True God Stage expert can''t block that." "Does this mean that no one can subdue these worms?" Mo Wuji asked in shock. "Not exactly, these worms can be exterminated with fire¡­" Feng Zhenqiu explained. However, Mo Wuji did not completely understand it, "Dean Feng, didn¡¯t you just say that the True God Stage expert used fire, but still got eaten by the Tarsal Bone Worms?" Nodding his head, Feng Zhenqiu replied, "That¡¯s right, fire is indeed the weakness of these worms, but it depends on what type of fire you use. Not all types of fire can kill these worms. For example, Defender Xing also has a type of fire, but his fire is meant for smithing. This fire can still kill the worms here, however, as soon as a whole swarm of them engulfs you, his fire would still be insufficient." Xing Huang added on, "Dean Feng is right, there are many types of fires out there. Mine is mainly for smithing, not for attacking enemies." "Actually, if you really want to kill those Tarsal Bone Worms, there¡¯s someone among us that can do it," Great Evolution Sect¡¯s True God Stage Elder Feng Zhe turned to look at Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s Fang Zhentian. Feng Zhenqiu also agreed, "Indeed, if it¡¯s Sect Head Fang, we might really be able to exterminate those worms." However, Fang Zhentian just shook his head, "I can indeed kill some of these worms, or escape from them. But to kill all of these Tarsal Bone Worms, even I am incapable of it." In his mind, Mo Wuji was extremely surprised. Four True God Stage experts all said that they could not do it, so how strong were these Tarsal Bone Worms? "Actually what Dean Feng said was right, there is a type of fire that can burn these worms to death," As Fang Zhentian spoke, he pointed in the direction of the cock star, "Previously, the guy outside of the Lost Sky Ruins named Lu Mang did say that there was a green fire that burst into the sky a few days ago. I suspect that it could be the Scholar¡¯s Heart¡­" When they heard the words "Scholar¡¯s Heart", the remaining people looked at Fang Zhentian in shock. Other than Mo Wuji, all the True God Stage experts here knew of the Scholar¡¯s Heart. On the surface, this fire looks like it¡¯s gentle and beautiful, but in reality, it is wild and explosive. Once you disturbed this type of fire, your only end state would be a pile of ashes. Continuing on, Fang Zhentian explained, "Alliance Head Mo might not know how scary the Scholar¡¯s Heart is. This fire looks like a beautiful green robe, calm and tranquil. But once this fire rages up, the frightening scene that ensues would be far worse than what Lu Mang described. The sort of temperature would make you lose any fighting spirit, then you¡¯ll disappear without a trace." At this point, Fang Zhentian chuckled, "If you can refine this fire, and throw out the Scholar¡¯s Heart with your hands, not only those worms, but also those people hiding behind the worms, he he¡­" Deep inside, Mo Wuji thought to himself. Indeed there¡¯s not a single True God Stage cultivator among them that¡¯s a simple person. The first time that he came here, he could guess that these worms were bred and herded by someone. Who knew that the others were aware of this too, just that no one went to disturb those worms. The five of them travelled with godspeed, and a few days later, they crossed a large desert. Once they passed the desert, Feng Zhenqiu requested for them to stop. What blocked their path ahead was a peakless mountain that wasn¡¯t that tall. On top of the mountain was a wide lake. Standing on a nearby hill, Mo Wuji could see that the water in the lake was very clear, even with some ripples of movement. The surroundings had a lingering sulfur smell too. "Dean Feng, let¡¯s go to take a look at the lake on that mountain top," Mo Wuji took the initiative to ask. Granny Linglong only left them a rough flying message which did not include her location, so Mo Wuji could only find this place based on the reports of green fire a few days ago. Solemnly, Feng Zhenqiu replied, "If we provoked the Tarsal Bone Worms, perhaps we might have a slim chance at survival. But if we go to banks of that green lake, then I believe that not a single one of us will return alive." Mo Wuji stared at Feng Zhenqiu in confusion. In Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s eyes, a surge of emotions appeared, then disappeared quickly, "I¡¯ve been here before. This is a volcano, and after it erupted, it formed this green lake¡­" Feng Zhenqiu took a deep breath, "If my guess is correct, that isn¡¯t water in the lake, but fire, and the fire is the Scholar¡¯s Heart that Sect Head Fang mentioned before¡­" "What?" Mo Wuji stared at Feng Zhenqiu in disbelief, "Dean Feng, there¡¯s still some small ripples on the surface of the green lake, and there¡¯s no heat from it. So how could this be the Scholar¡¯s Heart?" This time, Feng Zhenqiu did not reply, instead Fang Zhentian spoke, "Dean Feng is right, that should be the Scholar¡¯s Heart. The Scholar¡¯s Heart appears gentle and calm, without anything frightening about it, possibly even making people yearn for it. However, this is also the scariest part of the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Alliance Head Mo, look at the gentle lake surface with a few ripples, in reality that¡¯s the green fire markings of the Scholar¡¯s Heart. The Scholar¡¯s Heart is so scary because all of its heat is hidden within, and you can¡¯t feel anything outside. But once this fire has been agitated, the whole place can be burnt to ashes." Xing Huang also sighed, "It seems like the green fire that shot to the sky a few days ago was the sign of the birth of this Scholar¡¯s Heart. I¡¯ve heard of people keeping this sort of flame, but that would be its unborn state. Once it is born, this type of fire is a peerless existence." Alliance Head, regardless whether Linglong is here, we can¡¯t stay in this place any longer," Feng Zhenqiu sighed to himself, and took the initiative to speak. "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly walked a few steps forward, lowering his head to look at the ground. It seemed like Mo Wuji had found something, so the others did not go to disturb him. A full incense¡¯s time later, he raised his head and said, "Guys, there¡¯s some traces of array dao here. Defender Xing, help me refine a few location array flags, I¡¯ll check this out." Xing Huang instantly agreed, taking out a smithing furnace, and producing a ball of fire with his hands. A few ingredients were thrown into the furnace, and everyone could see Xing Huang¡¯s magnificent hands go to work, hand technique after hand technique landing in the smithing furnace. Mo Wuji, who was originally inspecting the array base, was also shocked at the sight of Xing Huang¡¯s method of smithing. His face felt a little hot, because while he could create array flags too, compared to Xing Huang, the ones that he made could only be considered as something ordinary blacksmiths made. On top of that, he did not learn smithing before, and always thought that refining array flags did not require a furnace. Now that he saw Xing Huang make them in a furnace, he knew that he had always been doing things the wrong way. Xing Huang¡¯s speed was exceptionally fast, and within an incense¡¯s time, he had grabbed a batch of location array flags to pass to Mo Wuji. After simply refining the array flags, Mo Wuji began to set up an array. Even for Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect protecting array, it took him two years to complete: one year of researching array dao, mainly studying how to set up the array, then another year to actually set it up. Now that he had refined Xing Huang¡¯s array flags, he realised how trashy his own were. If he had used Xing Huang¡¯s array flag for Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect protection array, he wouldn¡¯t have even used a year, and the array would be much better than the one he had made. This thought flashed through his mind, then Mo Wuji did not think about it any further. No matter how good the array flags that Xing Huang could make were, he could not keep Xing Huang by his side all the time. He could only ask Xing Huang for a few more array flags before he left for Zhen Mo Continent. Tens of array flags were slowly planted at different positions by Mo Wuji, and the rest of the group could distinctly feel the change in their surroundings, but they could not pinpoint where the change exactly was. In terms of cultivation level, any one of them would beat Mo Wuji by miles. But in terms of array dao, other than Xing Huang who had a decent level, no one could really match up to Chu Xingzi¡¯s legacy. Chapter 271: Bottom Of The Volcano Chapter 271: Bottom Of The Volcano Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Another two hours passed, and tens of meters away from the five of them, a crevice in the ground opened up. All of them used their spiritual will to sweep across the opening and discovered that the crevice led straight to the bottom of the volcano. So this was how it worked. Mo Wuji stopped planting array flags as he could open this concealment array, not because his array dao was of a high enough standard, but because he had seen this concealment array before. Initially when he was going up against horse bandits Wuchang and Wushuang, he had seen such an impressive concealment array. If it wasn¡¯t for a horse bandit bringing him to the entrance of the array, he probably would not have found it in a hundred years. "Alliance Head Mo, if we enter from there, there¡¯s a good chance that we¡¯ll die." Feng Zhe spoke worriedly as he looked at the crack leading underneath the volcano. Bu Mo Wuji calmly replied, "We¡¯ve found the location, everyone can go in with me or stay here. It¡¯s up to you." After speaking, Mo Wuji was the first to leap into the crevice. The Lost Continent¡¯s number one pill refiner who was also a True God Stage expert was in trouble, so even if he wasn¡¯t the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, he had to go save her. On top of that, based on their friendship, he had to help Linglong too. Seeing Mo Wuji going in, Xing Huang followed suit without hesitation. Feng Zhe was a little stunned, and he looked to Fang Zhentian, who smiled back at him, "Since the Heaven Demon Sect is a member of the Hundred Sect Alliance, we naturally can¡¯t be left behind. Moreover, I am indebted to Alliance Head Mo, and the Heaven Demon Sect is always clear about debts and grudges." As he spoke, Fang Zhentian also jumped into the opening. With a sigh, Feng Zhe knew that if he did not go in, he would not be able to lift his head high, not to mention that the Great Evolution Sect would also be ridiculed. While he had some reservations, he could only leap into the crack behind the others. Although it was below a volcano, Mo Wuji and co could not feel much heat, and it even felt a little colling. The underground seemed like it had formed naturally, without a fixed staircase, only having a twisting opening extending into the distance. The various craters around looked like the aftermath of some underground earthquakes.There was no light either. Luckily all of them had spiritual will, so the lack of illumination did not affect them one bit. They went on in the ups and downs, twist and turns of the underground for an hour, before a sliver of light appeared in front of them. Mo Wuji quickly sped up, and they soon reached a bright location. This was a basin hidden beneath the volcano, which had craters everywhere. The presence of tens of Night Illumination Pearls made them understand that the basin was formed naturally, and someone had been there before. The slight cooling air was coming from the bottom of this basin too. Some green gases descended from the ceiling, sinking straight to the bottom of the basin. At the top, the green gas was around ten meters in radius, but when it reached the bottom, only a radius of a meter remained, which made it look like a cone. Even if Mo Wuji did not know anything, he could infer that this green gas was probably part of the Scholar''s Heart fire from the outside. As his gaze fell to the sides of the basin, he saw Linglong enveloped by a green mist. She lay flat beside the green gas, without any signs of life. Even her face was deathly pale, and her vitals could not be sensed at all. Mo Wuji could already concoct Tier 5 Earth Spiritual Pills, hence he could be considered a true Tier 5 Earth Pill Refiner. He could discern Linglong¡¯s condition with one look: over 90% of the blood in her body had been drained away by someone. A short distance behind Granny Linglong, Mo Wuji spotted a niche in the wall, where a skeleton-like man sat. At that moment, the man was staring straight at Mo Wuji. Feng Zhenqiu and co. also noticed this bony man at the same time, and they instinctively split up. "Honest Qi?" When he saw the bony man, Mo Wuji recognised him right away. Although compared to the Honest Qi he knew, this Honest Qi only had skin and bones left, but that distinctive face was still etched in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. He did not know what Honest Qi went though, to actually turn into this thing that looked neither like a human nor a ghost. "So it¡¯s you, good, good¡­" The bony man let out a voice that gave them goosebumps, and his killing intent could not longer be masked. A familiar feeling engulfed Mo Wuji, and with a sudden shock, he stepped one step back, calmly staring at this bony man and said, "You¡¯re not Honest Qi, you¡¯re Jing Gumu. You possessed Honest Qi¡­" After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he was secretly shocked. Jing Gumu¡¯s leftover spirit was ambushed by Pu Qian and co, but in the end he still managed to escape. Mo Wuji thought that Jing Gumu would not be able to recover from that. However, who knew that in the short period of a few years, Jing Gumu actually possessed Honest Qi. From his appearance, he should have regained most of his strength. This Honest Qi was also too useless, to be possessed by a leftover spirit, what an idiot. No wonder Lu Mang said that Honest Qi didn¡¯t look for him for quite a while, the guy was actually possessed. "Ha ha¡­" The bony man cackled, "Your eyes have not gone blind yet, to actually recognise that I¡¯m Jing Gumu. I originally wanted to find a few strong spirits and vital blood to replenish my divine spirit. Who would have expected you to come to me, with four decent guys. Do you know whose blood I¡¯m craving for the most? Yours, you little ant." Jing Gumu was laughing, but endless rage and killing intent was hidden within his laughter. "Jing Gumu?" As soon as Mo Wiji called out Jing Gumu¡¯s name,Feng Zhenqiu and co.¡¯s expressions turned ugly. They drew their own magic treasures and became on guard. If it were someone else then it was possible that no one would recognise him, but for Jing Gumu, who would not know who he was? In the past when the Heaven Sect existed on the Lost Continent, it was much stronger than Heaven Seeking Palace was. Sect Head Jing Gumu¡¯s strength was unparalleled, and no one dared to say no to him. "Guys don¡¯t worry, this guy just got possessed not long ago, so he has not even recovered 10% of his strength. He won¡¯t be that strong¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish comforting them, Jing Gumu pounced in their direction. His spiny hands extended towards Mo Wuji¡¯s head. Mo Wuji was the person he hated the most, so without killing Mo Wuji, there would always be a thorn in his heart. A frightening pressure came his way, causing Mo Wuji to feel a chill all over his body, as though a poisonous snake was staring at him, which made him unable to move. The difference in strength was too great, hence even if he could react, he would not be able to escape. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Consecutive elemental energy explosions rang out, blasting Jing Gumu on his palms. "Blergh!" Jing Gumu spat out a splotch of vital blood, and his whole body was blown backwards, smashing his niche into bits. Looking at Feng Zhenqiu and co. in shock, Jing Gumu exclaimed, "How is this possible? How could you have three True God Stage experts with you¡­" Then he turned towards Feng Zhe who didn¡¯t make a move, "Could you have brought four True God Stage experts here? When did the Lost Continent produce this many True God Stage experts? Four at one shot?" He did not stop Granny Linglong¡¯s flying message because he lacked the vitality and energy to do so. What he needed was the vitality of experts to increase his cultivation level, and also their divine spirits to strengthen his own. But he didn¡¯t expect four True God Stage experts to come at once. There weren¡¯t that many True God Stage experts in the Lost Continent, but since Mo Wuji was the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, he brought half of the True God Stage experts in the alliance over. "Alliance head, if my guess is correct, Jing Gumu should be planning to use Linglong¡¯s blood as a medium to refine the Scholar¡¯s Heart¡­" Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s Fang Zhentian stared at Jing Gumu from a distance, and said with a serious tone. Upon hearing this, Jing Gumu, who had shocked the four True God Stage experts, looked at Fang Zhentian in disbelief. He couldn¡¯t understand how such an obscure secret would be known by someone other than himself. "How do you know that?" Mo Wuji asked. While staring at Jing Gumu, Fang Zhentian replied, "If that¡¯s the case, then Linglong should possess a icy spirit body. This sort of body is actually not suitable for pill refining, but Linglong not only became a pill refiner, but a Heaven Pill Refiner at that. She must have immense talent. In the Heaven Sect¡¯s records, when the Scholar¡¯s Heart has just been born, the blood of an icy spirit body can be used as a medium to stabilise it, then one can slowly refine it." "Who exactly are you? How do you know the secret of my Heaven Sect?" Jing Gumu stood up and stared at Fang Zhentian with an icy glare, like he was shooting icicles out of his eyes. Fang Zhentian replied calmly, "Because I am the sect head of Heaven Demon Sect, and the Heaven Demon Sect branched out from the Heaven Sect." Jing Gumu was stunned. He knew a little about the Heaven Sect disbanding, but now that he had not fully recovered his strength, there was no time and energy for him to care about the Heaven Sect. Once he had recovered, he would massacre his way through the Lost Continent, then restore the position of Heaven Sect. "Since you are a disciple of Heaven Sect, quickly come greet your grand-master, and listen to my orders." Jing Gumu commanded loudly. But Fang Zhentian only stared at Jing Gumu, and his voice went cold, "Jing Gumu, you¡¯re not fit to be called my grand-master. My grand-master Qu Chengzi was imprisoned in the Heaven Sect¡¯s Demon Trapping Cave. If his luck was a little worse, my grand-master would have died in the Demon Trapping Cave. I will recognise you as the piece of trash that almost killed my grand-master. Jing Gumu, it¡¯s not enough even if your face is even whiter than other people¡¯s buttocks [1]." "So you¡¯re the disciple of Qu Chengzi that b*stard demon, no wonder you have the aura of a b*stard demon too. Since you dare to come here today, then stay here forever!" While Jing Gumu spoke, he threw out tens of array flags. The surroundings suddenly changed, and the five of them could not see Jing Gumu anymore. He knew that since Mo Wuji had brought four True God Stage experts along, it would be hopeless to fight them head on. Before Mo Wuji could figure out what had trapped the few of them, rumbling noises rang out. Without looking, they knew that their way out had been sealed off. [1] TL Note: С°×Á³ is a derogatory term for guys, is used to refer to gigolos, and it literally means "small white face", so the whiter his face, the bigger a gigolo he is. Chapter 272: The Little Chicken’s Successor Chapter 272: The Little Chicken¡¯s Successor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations If it was underneath a different mountain, no one would care if their way out was blockaded. But at this location, everyone knew what having their way out blocked meant. This was where the Scholar¡¯s Heart was, so if anyone dared to carelessly disturb the mountain around them, it might cause the Scholar¡¯s Heart to explode. "Everyone don¡¯t move, this is at least a Grade 7 trap array. The more you move, the deeper you sink in." Xing Huang¡¯s voice echoed out, and everyone could hear the fear in his voice. A Grade 7 trap array, if there weren¡¯t anyone controlling it, the few True God Stage experts might still have a chance to escape. But at this moment, not only was there someone controlling the array, it was also beneath the Scholar¡¯s Heart, hence none of those trapped there would likely survive. Mo Wuji not only did not move, but had already sat down. Once the trap array appeared, his heart sank. In terms of array dao, he was not any lousier than Xing Huang, even much better than Xing Huang for some areas. Since Xing Huang could recognise that this was a Grade 7 trap array, wouldn¡¯t he be able to do the same? He knew then that whatever he said had no use, so he had to quickly determine how to break this array. Otherwise, the first person Jing Gumu killed would be him. After all, in the tray array his cultivation level was the lowest. Even if the other four were trapped, it would not be that easy for Jing Gumu to kill them. To kill Mo Wuji was indeed easily achievable. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will quickly seeped to the surroundings of the trap array, and after he captured a few void runes, a scream almost escaped his mouth. This was a sense of joy originating from deep within his heart, because this rune was very familiar. It was from Chu Xingzi¡¯s hands, and with slight modifications. When Chu Xingzi was initially trapped under the ice mountain, he listed out all the high grade arrays that trapped him in. The reason he couldn¡¯t leave the trap array below the ice mountain was that the Little Chicken had combined various types of trap arrays together to form a new trap array. The new trap array was never broken by Chu Xingzi, or at least Mo Wuji did not see Chu Xingzi¡¯s solution for it. The trap array that was formed by the runes before him was of the poorest quality out of all the top grade runes that trapped Chu Xingzi. Mo Wuji had always been studying Chu Xingzi¡¯s Array Dao, so how could he not recognise when such familiar runes were presented to him. If it were other Grade 7 trap arrays, it would not be that easy for him to even find a starting point. But for this trap array, it was a joke to him. Logically speaking, as Chu Xingzi had been trapped under the ice mountain for so many years, it was impossible for him to have passed on his array dao to Jing Gumu. Hence Jing Gumu probably learnt this array dao from that Little Chicken that studied Chu Xingzi¡¯s array dao then trapped him. After throwing out a few array flags, the void runes separated into two sides, forming a tunnel in front of him. "Alliance Head Mo¡­" The first to appear was Feng Zhe, and he stared at Mo Wuji with a surprised look, not understanding how Mo Wuji could open a tunnel in such a strong trap array. Waving his hand, Mo Wuji signalled to him to remain silent, before throwing over ten flags out, forming another three tunnels quickly. Feng Zhenqiu, Xing Huang, and Fang Zhentian were moving around like headless chickens, but now they rushed over once they saw Mo Wuji. "Sect Head, you¡¯re really amazing, to be able to open such a high grade trap array¡­" Xing Huang¡¯s voice was a little loud, and Mo Wuji had to raise his hands to stop him, "Defender Xing, I¡¯ve coincidentally seen this trap array before, and the methods I used to open it is a little weird, so I believe that Little Chicken...no, that Jing Gumu must not have noticed it yet. Everyone please wait for me here, after I¡¯ve saved Linglong, I will give it to Jing Gumu." It was Chu Xingzi that had broken this trap array, and in the messages he left behind, he said that even the Little Chicken did not know that he had escaped the trap array after breaking it. Of course, Chu Xingzi was not able to break Little Chicken¡¯s combination trap array. Who Little Chicken was, Mo Wuji did not know, but he was sure that Jing Gumu would definitely not be able to match up with a single hair on Little Chicken. The few of them nodded as they looked at Mo Wuji in joy. Thankfully their Alliance Head was strong in array dao, otherwise, they would have died unfairly. Mo Wuji grabbed and threw out another seven to eight array flags, and soon the area above them became visible. Beside the green gas, the floating Linglong came into sight. At the void position, Mo Wuji rapidly drew many runes, causing the originally floating Linglong to plummet downwards abruptly. He then quickly went forward to catch her in his arms. "Dean Feng, I will open up a tunnel in a while. Carry Linglong and leave through it swiftly." As Mo Wuji spoke, he delivered Linglong into Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s arms. "What about you?" Feng Zhenqiu asked. "Mo Wuji chuckled, "I will leave too, but I¡¯ll be the last one to leave. Since this guy lured us here, how could we leave without giving him a present?" Following which, he threw out a few more array flags, and a new tunnel appeared before all of them. The end of the tunnel was where they had come from, which was not obstructed by anything. Feng Zhenqiu and co. sped out of the tunnel with Mo Wuji at the back. The array flags in his hands landed continuously, and within a few minutes time, he rushed out to join the others. "Sect Head Mo, your array dao is simply too strong, Feng Zhe is really impressed." Feng Zhe said emotionally as he saw Mo Wuji approach them. To that Mo Wuji only laughed, but did not answer. This set of methods had been carved out by Chu Xingzi under the ice mountain, and he only copied them. If he did not have Chu Xingzi¡¯s method for breaking the trap array, even if he could find the exit, it would definitely not have gone unnoticed by Jing Gumu. "Did Jing Gumu find out?" Feng Zhenqiu asked softly. "He will find out soon so we have to increase our speed." After finishing the sentence, Mo Wuji went even faster. The few of them were extremely strong people, and on top of that they did not have anything to guard against when leaving, unlike when they entered. Thus, within a few minutes, all of them charged out of the crevice. An angry howl echoed out from underground, and Mo Wuji shouted, "Quickly leave." At this moment everyone increased their speed to the maximum even without Mo Wuji¡¯s reminder. They were no fools, and they knew that Mo Wuji had agitated the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Not leaving when the Scholar¡¯s Heart exploded would be waiting for death. The frightening burning sensation seemed as though as it would envelop them at any moment, so who would dare to get left behind then? A few minutes later, they felt the temperature behind them drop, and only then did they dare to stop to take a look. The place that they had come from was originally a small hilly area, but now the hills had completely disappeared. As for the short, big volcano, it had vanished completely. A large crater had appeared in the distance, and from it emanated terrifying amounts of heat. "What a strong Scholar¡¯s Heart¡­" Xing Huang exclaimed. No one mentioned Jing Gumu, as they all knew that there wasn¡¯t even the pulp of him remaining. "This went rather well. Alliance Head, your array dao is really strong. When we return, you should take charge of the Five Elements Desolate Domain¡¯s defensive array." Feng Zhenqiu respected Mo Wuji even more after witnessing the extent of Mo Wuji¡¯s strength in array dao. As Mo Wuji was last in the group, the back of his clothes had been burnt off from the heat of the fire. He changed into a fresh set of clothes, and waved off the comment, "Everyone, I will be doing closed door cultivation somewhere for a period of time, so I will not have the time to manage the affairs of the Hundred Sect Alliance. I¡¯ll temporarily pass on the title of Alliance Head to Dean Feng." As he spoke, Mo Wuji took out his contribution points token and passed it to Feng Zhenqiu. Feng Zhenqiu quickly placed Linglong on a jade bed, then received the contribution points token before asking, "Alliance head, even if you undergo closed door cultivation, you still can continue managing the Hundred Sect Alliance." But Mo Wuji just shook his head, "Other than undergoing closed door cultivation, I will be travelling for a period of time, possibly returning only a few years later, or even decades later. The Hundred Sect Alliance cannot be without an alliance head, so could Dean Feng please temporarily take up that role? I¡¯ll have to request for Dean Feng to help out regarding Linglong¡¯s injuries too." Hearing Mo Wuji put it that way, Feng Zhenqiu had nothing to say. Mo Wuji was very assertive, and the way he did things was very unique. Once he had decided on something, no one would be able to convince him otherwise. Moreover, his cultivation level was indeed quite low, and it was still acceptable for him to choose closed door cultivation. As for Linglong¡¯s injuries, even if Mo Wuji did not mention it, Heaven Seeking Palace would still try their best to save her. "If I¡¯m not back for a prolonged period of time, Dean Feng please take care of Tian Ji Sect too." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully towards Feng Zhenqiu. After speaking, he continued to bow respectfully towards Feng Zhe and Fang Zhentian, "Both of you are True God Stage experts, if Tian Ji Sect meets any trouble, I hope that you two will help them out on my account." Even when disregarding the fact that Mo Wuji might have had a Worldly Immortal Stage expert backing him up, just based on how easily he broke the Grade 7 trap array and brought them out, the three of them would have given Mo Wuji face. Hence after Mo Wuji bowed respectfully and made his requests, all three of them quickly returned the bow, and pledged that they would take care of Tian Ji Sect. All three of them were wise old men, so when they saw that Mo Wuji did not give special instructions to Xing Huang, they knew that he wanted to speak to Xing Huang in private. Thus after they agreed to Mo Wuji¡¯s requests, they said their farewells and left. "Sect head, you want to look for a place to undergo your closed door cultivation?" After the three of them left, Xing Huang asked immediately Mo Wuji shook his head, "I promised someone to make a trip to Zhen Mo Continent. So Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Sect Head will temporarily be Sang Yiping. There should be sufficient spiritual energy at Tian Ji Sect, so Defender Xing can stay there for your closed door cultivation. When I¡¯m not around, I¡¯ll have to ask Defender Xing to take care of the sect." Chapter 273: Greed Chapter 273: Greed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xing Huang promptly promised, "Sect head can rest assured that I will definitely protect Tian Ji Sect. Even if I leave, that will wait till the day that Tian Ji Sect has at least two Nihility Gods." With that, Xing Huang waved his hand, an extricately carved, silver flying ship appeared in front of Mo Wuji, "Sect head, this is a high grade spiritual equipment, it¡¯s the work I feel most proud of. Since sect head wants to go to Zhen Mo Continent, then an average flying ship would not do. I will give this ship to the sect head." Mo Wuji and Xing Huang started their relationship based on mutual benefits, but after a series of events, the two became friends. Now, Xing Huang even took out his best and proudest work for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hurried to stop Xing Huang, "Defender Xing, I have obtained several storage rings from those Zhen Mo Continent True God Stage experts. How could I be short of flying treasures?" Now that Xing Huang thought about it, it was true. Previously when that Worldly Immortal King Gu Qi arrived at the Five Elements Desolate City, he brought along some True God Stage experts, and the strongest one was already at True God Stage Level 9. As he was thinking of this, an additional sense of respect towards Mo Wuji developed in his heart. Even though he didn''t personally see the expert behind Mo Wuji killing the True God Stage experts like ants, he had long heard about it from Feng Zhenqiu and co. "Then will sect head be following me back?" Xing Huang asked. Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, after I find a place to refine the rings, I will leave here from the Sky Sea." The Sky Sea was in the opposite direction from Tian Ji Sect, as well as the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Since Mo Wuji intended to leave from the Sky Sea, Xing Huang didn''t say anything much further. He kept his silver flying ship and bade his farewells. He was going to return back to Tian Ji Sect and relay Mo Wuji''s message to Sang Yiping and co. Thereafter, he would have Sang Yiping succeed as the acting sect head. He viewed Mo Wuji highly, he believed that the next time he met Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would definitely be a world shaking expert. From whatever perspective, he had to run Tian Ji Sect well. If Mo Wuji came back and the Tian Ji Sect was a mess, Mo Wuji might not say anything much to him but their relationship would definitely thin down. After seeing Xing Huang go off into the distance, Mo Wuji turned back and looked at the huge pit burned out by the Scholar''s Heart with reluctance in his heart. There, the Scholar''s Heart had formed another lake of green fire. However, that was not his, at least, it was not something he could touch for the time being. Mo Wuji shook his head, casting aside the greed in his heart and chose a direction to leave in. Who didn''t want the Scholar''s Heart? Mo Wuji, as a pill refiner, would want this flame even more. However, he knew clearly, even if the True God Stage experts didn''t advise him against it, it should be impossible for him to get it. Jing Gumu had his means of taking away the Scholar''s Heart, he even found an ice attribute body, but ultimately he still failed. If Jing Gumu couldn''t do it, then Mo Wuji shouldn''t even think about it. The Scholar''s Heart was truly too strong, even if he advanced into the True God Stage, he might not even dare to act like Jing Gumu, standing right under the fire to refine it. Due to his use of arrays, he managed to incite the Scholar''s Heart to burn Jing Gumu to flying ash. But even if he didn''t do anything, he still suspected that Jing Gumu would not succeed. If he had the chance to refine the Scholar''s Heart, he would not court death like Jing Gumu by standing right under the Scholar''s Heart. He would refine it from the side, slowly refining it to the center. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji shook his head. Not just him, even if Feng Zhenqiu and co. tried to refine the Scholar''s Heart slowly from the side, it would not be practical. Unless one could transform their body to contain an extreme coldness, like the coldness of the basement where he found the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. Mo Wuji suddenly stopped in his tracks. He thought of something: If he could transform his body to have that sort of coldness, would he be able to refine a flame like the Scholar''s Heart from the sides? He was truly unable to change his body to have this sort of coldness, but he could try with the cultivation method of the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style. Previously, when he was practising the Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style, because of the lack of content, he almost got his internal organs burnt by the intense heat which ensued. If he could use that initial cultivation technique, and reverse the way he circulated the energy, would he be able to get the opposite of a body scorching heat? The moment this idea sprouted, it grew rapidly. Even if Mo Wuji did not want to think about it, the idea still wandered around in his mind. Mo Wuji inhaled deeply, rushing to a hill not faraway and dug a simple immortal cave. He wanted to test his idea, otherwise, this idea would never subside. Activating his circulation technique, spiritual energy was strongly drawn towards Mo Wuji. However, this time he followed the opposite direction of the Lightning Flash cultivation technique, circulating spiritual energy in the reverse direction. Because he was worried that this might damage his meridians, Mo Wuji circulated the energy extremely slowly. The moment he met with a problem, he would immediately stop. His first meridian completed one reverse circulation, but there did not seem to be any reaction. Mo Wuji was rather disappointed, it seemed like his thinking was truly preposterous. Mo Wuji started circulating reversely with ten meridians simultaneously. His Lightning Flash cultivation technique was tweaked according to the Immortal Mortal Technique. After Mo Wuji opened his meridians, his Immortal Mortal Technique allowed him to absorb spiritual energy at a rapid pace, much faster than other cultivators. Now, with ten over meridians simultaneously circulating energy, it was like a devouring tornado was formed. Copious amounts of spiritual energy seemed to form one whirlpool after another inside his body. When compared to his usual Immortal Mortal Technique, this absorption speed was much faster, it was even close to an entire fold faster. Mo Wuji was horrified. He hastily tried to stop but things had already gotten out of his control. Right at this moment, an icy cold sensation exuded from his meridians and started to spread throughout his entire body. At the very next instant, he saw his own arms and legs getting frozen in front of his very eyes. This icy coldness seeped out from meridians, pervading into his internal organs and finally freezing his extremities. Mo Wuji''s heart turned cold, this was not what he wanted. Even though he had already stopped this reverse circulation, he could still feel his spiritual energy flowing through his body, transforming into elemental energy which continued to plunge his meridians into greater coldness. Mo Wuji felt like his soul was going to leave his body. At this rate, his meridians were definitely going to get frozen and ripped, followed by his entire body. When his body contained that terrifying heat, at least he had some means of moving his body. But now, he couldn''t even move. Truly, if one didn¡¯t seek death, one wouldn¡¯t die. Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with grief because he would definitely die if he let this go on. Reversing the circulation technique did indeed transform him into a block of ice. But this ice block wasn''t what he imagined. It was ready to take away his little life. Mo Wuji tried to use his willpower to struggle to circulate the Immortal Mortal Technique, to melt down his body which was already frozen by the extreme ice. But his meridians were already frozen and that could only remain as a pipe dream. He wasn''t even able to stop his current reverse circulation of spiritual energy as his body continued to plunge into icy coldness. As time passed, besides his spiritual will which could extend outwards, there was nothing else he could do. Mo Wuji slowly approached desolation. His spiritual sent sweeping outwards as he tried to grab even a single strand of hope. Disappointingly, he did not find a person, nor anything that could help him. Right as Mo Wuji''s spiritual will also started to get blurry, his spiritual will swept across a slightly pudgy figure. Chapter 274: Various Methods Chapter 274: Various Methods Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations That''s Feng Zhe? Even though Mo Wuji was completely frozen, he was able to quickly discern who that was. That slightly pudgy fella was Feng Zhe. Mo Wuji soon came to an understanding. He wasn''t the only one unwilling to leave the Scholar''s Heart behind, the Great Evolution Sect''s Feng Zhe was the same. However, when everyone was here, he acted nonchalant, and even as though he couldn''t wait to get out of here. Now that everyone had left, he sneakily returned. Mo Wuji gave up on using his spiritual will to communicate with Feng Zhe. If it was Xing Huang, then maybe he might do that. But since it was Feng Zhe, he definitely couldn''t do it. The moment Feng Zhe knew he was here, Feng Zhe would immediately eliminate him to shut his mouth. If Feng Zhe was confident that he could extract the Scholar''s Heart, then he definitely didn''t want others to know that the one who took the Scholar''s Heart away was him. Mo Wuji sighed but he didn''t retract his spiritual will. If he had to die, he would rather freeze to death then get killed by Feng Zhe. In less than half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji saw another figure dashing by. It had a head full of brown hair. Mo Wuji only needed a single sweep to identify it as the Heaven Demon Sect''s Fang Zhentian. Indeed, Fang Zhentian would not come here for any other reason, he must have came for the Scholar''s Heart. What a pity that it wasn''t Feng Zhenqiu or Xing Huang who came over. If it was those two, perhaps they might save his life The Heaven Demon Sect originated from the Heaven Sect. Since the Heaven Sect''s Jing Gumu had methods to refine the Scholar''s Heart, then perhaps Fang Zhentian had his own means of extracting the Scholar''s Heart. As for Feng Zhe, that fella always had a smile on his face, acting very harmless and innocuous but Mo Wuji could feel that this fella''s schemes were even deeper than Fang Zhentian. Among the four True God Experts that came with him, Mo Wuji felt the least comfortable with this Feng Zhe. Time flowed by slowly, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will started to get blurry. He still gritted his teeth and push on; the moment his spiritual will completely blurred up, that would mean that he was really gone. Until the very last moment, he definitely wouldn''t give up. Perhaps, Feng Zhenqiu might also want the Scholar''s Heart and come over? "Boom!" A terrifying explosion excited Mo Wuji''s sinking spiritual will to clear up significantly. He subconsciously extended his spiritual will to the maximum. In his heart, he was thinking whether it was Feng Zhe refining the Scholar''s Heart, or was it Fang Zhentian? Or did the two parties discover one another and started fighting? Before Mo Wuji could chuck these thoughts aside, a wave of heat came surfing over. Following which, Mo Wuji saw his frozen body, which was on the brink of shattering, start to soften up Mo Wuji did not feel a half bit excited, but a tinge of fury. These two fellas should just refine the Scholar''s Heart, but if they actually induced another eruption of the Scholar''s Heart. The moment the Scholar''s Heart came flowing over, he would completely and utterly be dead meat. At this moment, Mo Wuji was feeling slight regret for choosing this place which was so close to the Scholar''s Heart. However, he didn''t have time to regret for long. His body had been frozen into an ice cube but with the flames of the Scholar''s Heart flowing over, the first thing he needed to do was to hurry use the Immortal Mortal Technique to stabilise his fleshly body. Otherwise, even if his body was stronger, to get roasted by such intense flames right after he experience such icy coldness would definitely cause him to collapse. Unfortunately, his internal organs were still frozen solid, with only a single strand of elemental energy still in slow circulation. Even if his legs could move, he couldn¡¯t run. Activating the Immortal Mortal Technique, a soul tearing sensation came pervading through his entire body. As he got wrapped up in this terrifying, tearing pain, Mo Wuji''s entire body started trembling. Following the rise in the surrounding temperature, the circulation of the Immortal Mortal Technique gradually stabilised and did not seem like he would fall apart. Mo Wuji lightly heaved a sigh of relief, he struggled to sit up as he wanted to first get out of this place. But when he sent his spiritual will out, he was almost shocked crazy. His entire surroundings was covered in green flames. Feeling that sort terrifying heat, Mo Wuji was at a loss of what to do. Those two fellas had incited the Scholar''s Heart and the flames of the Scholar''s Heart completely razed over a radius of a few kilometers. Luckily, his distance was still considered quite far, and this was at the extreme sides of the Scholar''s Heart flames. There were only a few green flames. Otherwise, he would have been burnt to ashes. But how did this flames flow so far? While Mo Wuji ate a few healing pills, he also sent his spiritual will sweeping outwards. When Mo Wuji''s spiritual will reached Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe who were sitting in the center of the green flames, he immediately came to an understanding. Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe were a few hundred meters apart, the both of them were sitting on the floor. The jade flute he passed to Fang Zhentian previously was placed on top of Fang Zhentian''s head, emitting a jade green light. This light formed a jade green barrier around Fang Zhentian. Sitting within the barrier, Fang Zhentian was constantly forming hand seals. A few hundred meters away from Fang Zhentian, ten swords were continuously revolving around Feng Zhe, forming a defensive sword array. Strands of green flame energy slowly seeped into the sword array, circulating between Feng Zhe''s two hands. Mo Wuji had already realised that the two were both refining the Scholar''s Heart and he even knew the two''s methods. But he didn''t know what methods they used to send the Scholar''s Heart spreading for a few kilometers. No matter how strong the Scholar''s Heart was, it was something that had recently manifested. Furthermore, after being sent spreading for a few kilometers, its temperature had fallen significantly. Previously, the Scholar''s Heart could not be refined. It was because of its horrifyingly high temperatures, such that one couldn''t even get close to it. But now, the two incited the Scholar''s Heart to flow out and far; refining the flame was now possible. Compared to Jing Gumu, their methods were more practical. What Mo Wuji didn''t understand was, why did Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe come to a consensus and not interrupt the other¡¯s refinement of the Scholar''s Heart? Don''t the two know that there''s only one flower of the Scholar''s Heart, and two of them couldn''t obtain it at the same time? Following the two''s refinement, the surrounding temperature started to rise. Mo Wuji completely regained his ability to move. Regardless, he would have to escape from this place first. Since there were two True God Stage experts refining the Scholar''s Heart, he wouldn''t even get a scrap of it. Mo Wuji was just about to stand up but he immediately discarded that idea. He couldn''t leave yet. The moment he leaves this hill, he would immediately be spotted by Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe. When that happens, he might be eliminated by the two. Mo Wuji could only stay silent. At this moment, the surrounding green flames suddenly for stronger by more than a fold. The terrifying flames were so hot, Mo Wuji almost cried out in pain. Mo Wuji hurriedly activated his elemental energy to defend against the heat. The next instant, Mo Wuji knew that his thinking was useless. Because as Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe crazily refined the Scholar''s Heart, the Scholar''s Heart flames would get stronger If he did not think of a better method, he would be these two''s sacrificial pawn, burning to death in this heat. An idea flashed across his mind. Mo Wuji immediately started his reverse circulation. Ten over meridians simultaneously circulated in the reverse direction, that terrifying cold emerged from Mo Wuji''s meridians. However, the difference from the past was that Mo Wuji was now at the side of the Scholar''s Heart. With the outer temperature, he wouldn''t be frozen to an ice cube. In half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji knew he wouldn''t be able to hold on. His meridians was, in fact, endlessly releasing extreme cold energy but the flame temperature was gradually getting stronger. As time passed, this sort of balance was not what his body could take. Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and sent out a strand of spiritual will, seeping into the green flames surrounding him. Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe were refining the Scholar''s Heart and now he was also forced to refine it. If he didn''t refine it, he would be turned to ashes. Either way he would die. So why hesitate? Chapter 275: Reverse Refining The Scholars Heart Chapter 275: Reverse Refining The Scholar''s Heart Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Scholar''s Heart was too strong, whether it was Fang Zhentian or Feng Zhe, they could only slowly refine the bit of Scholar''s Heart which seeps in their defences. As for the situation outside, the two didn''t have the capacity to investigate. Thus, when Mo Wuji entered the fray and started refining the Scholar''s Heart, Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe were completely oblivious. The moment Mo Wuji started refining, he knew that he had made the right decision. Using his Immortal Mortal Technique to refine the Scholar''s Heart was like cooking a frog with warm water, no sudden actions. The Immortal Mortal Technique drew the Scholar''s Heart into his circulation route, every circulation would take away a strand of the Scholar''s Heart flame energy, refining it into Mo Wuji''s. At the start, Mo Wuji could still feel the tormenting pain when the hot and cold intersected. But towards the end, he no longer suffered from any of that torment. The rate the Immortal Mortal Technique circulated the green energy became faster and faster, signifying that his speed of refinement also became faster and faster. As time passed, he had already gathered a sizeable green ball of fire in his body, this was his completely refined Scholar''s Heart flame energy. The green energy outside continued to get devoured by his Immortal Mortal Technique as he slowly tamed it, integrating into his body. The Immortal Mortal Technique was the simplest cultivation technique, or more accurately, the most fundamental form of cultivation. It was different from other cultivation techniques, it was far too simple. When using it to refine the flames of the Scholar''s Heart, it would not cause any form of stimulation to the flames. On the other hand, Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe¡¯s refinement method was something highly adjusted. From the surface level, their cultivation method was far superior to Mo Wuji¡¯s simple Immortal Mortal Technique. However, when used for refinement, it was far from being as quiet as Mo Wuji¡¯s. Following the two¡¯s increased refinement of the green flame, the surrounding temperatures got higher. If Mo Wuji did not enter the fray, the two might have still persisted for a few more days. It would not be impossible for one of them to eventually refine the Scholar''s Heart. But Mo Wuji had entered. One person alone, his refinement speed was faster than Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe combined, his speed several fold faster than when he first started. Another two hours passed, the jade green light barrier from the jade flute on Fang Zhentian''s head slowly dimmed. At the same time, the gaps in Feng Zhe''s defensive sword array became bigger. "Pui!" A huge hole ripped in Fang Zhentian''s jade green light barrier, Fang Zhentian was no longer able to persist on, coughing out a mouth of vital blood. He did not even then to face Feng Zhe, his body turned into a black flurry, instantaneously disappearing outside. At almost the same instant Fang Zhentian charged out, a wave of green fire swept over, completely burning away Feng Zhe''s clothes and hair. Feng Zhe did not even care to retrieve his sword array, also turning into a black shadow, rushing out from the green flames. The two were both True God Stage experts, their speed of retreat was extremely fast. Fang Zhentian saw Feng Zhe; Feng Zhe also saw Fang Zhentian. When the two came to rob the Scholar''s Heart, they only met with each other once. Coincidentally, their methods were roughly the same, which was to spread the Scholar''s Heart through several kilometres and then slowly refine it. Now that the two had failed, they seemed to have planned beforehand as they each ran in different directions, rushing out of the Lost Sky Ruins. This sort of thing was merely intuition, there were no need for words. To the two of them, refining the Scholar''s Heart wasn''t impossible. They just needed to find a strong form of defence and perhaps one day they might truly refine the Scholar''s Heart. When Feng Zhe and Fang Zhentian left, the pressure on Mo Wuji instantly increased. The temperature of the surrounding green flames became higher, more than half of the hill he was in had been melted. Mo Wuji didn''t know that Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe had failed and retreated. As the surrounding temperature rose, he subconsciously started to reverse his circulation technique; icy coldness began to seep out from his meridians. As the coldness became stronger, it formed a thin layer of frost in his body. However, the moment this frost appeared, it would be melted by the green flames. As Mo Wuji refined more and more of the green flame energy, the green flames surrounding him became significantly thicker. At this moment, Mo Wuji''s skin started burning; an aura of death shrouded over Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji did not open his eyes, he knew that he had to take certain measures or he would burn to death here. Feeling the large ball of green flames inside his body, Mo Wuji was incredibly reluctant. If he retreated now, the green flame energy he refined would be leaked away, disappearing forever. Cultivation was all about gambling one''s life. When he first prepared to refine the Scholar''s Heart, he already almost died once. Now, he had already started refining it. If he retreated now, he would definitely regret it in the future. Mo Wuji had a premonition that if he left, this Scholar''s Heart wouldn''t end up his. Even though Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe failed, they would come back with better methods and continue to refine the Scholar''s Heart. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and tried increasing the number of meridians which circulated according to the technique he created. Indeed, when nearly 30 meridians began to circulate reversely, more of that icy cold sensation seeped out from his meridians. That tearing and torment once again unleashed upon Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji''s body was shaking but he still crazily continued to refine the Scholar''s Heart flame energy. In half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji felt an intense heat sweeping across his head. He knew that his hair and skull skin had been completely burned away. The surrounding green flames also became another fold stronger. Mo Wuji gave out a long sigh in his heart. It wasn''t that he wasn''t working hard, but he truly couldn''t ensure any further. It wasn¡¯t a simple matter of 1-1=0 when it came to the cold seeping from his meridians and the heat from the green flames. The most important thing was that his body couldn''t take it. If he pushed any further, he would definitely collapse. Now, the most fragile thing was nothing but the strength of his body. Mo Wuji wanted to get up and leave but he immediately found that it was no longer up to him. He was completely unable to leave, his remaining strength was not one 1/10,000 of his original strength, he was not able to charge out of these terrifying flames. Another wave of green flames surged over; Mo Wuji gritted his teeth, directly drawing a strand of the flame and started circulating it into his reverse circulation route. The strand of flame seeped into Mo Wuji¡¯s meridian, instantly mixing with the coldness within his meridian. A sort of lazy feeling of contentment pervaded throughout his body and Mo Wuji was ecstatic. Initially, he was using his reverse circulation technique to produce the cold sensation within his meridians, to counteract the heat from the green flames outside. Thereafter, he would use the Immortal Mortal Technique to refine the Scholar¡¯s Heart into his own green flame. But now, he directly absorbed this green flames into his meridians together with spiritual energy, circulating it in the reverse route. Unexpectedly, not only did it increase the rate of refinement, his body was no longer subjected to that terrifying torment of hot and cold. At this moment, he had only used 30 over meridians and he had achieved such results. If he used all 102 meridians, how heavy defying would it be? Suppressing the mad glee in his heart, Mo Wuji started to slowly increase the meridians involved in circulation. With every additional meridian, an additional strand of green flame would be refined. Chapter 276: New Cultivation Method Chapter 276: New Cultivation Method Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations One meridian after another started the reverse circulation. Multiple days later, Mo Wuji''s entire body had completely immersed within the green flames. However, those flames didn''t manage to burn Mo Wuji''s skin before they were drawn into his meridians. After one round of circulation, they were refined by him and integrated into his ball of green flames. When all 102 meridians started circulating, the surrounding green flames seemed to form a green whirlpool, swirling into Mo Wuji, constantly being refined. Mo Wuji felt that the temperatures had gradually gotten weaker and discovered that already a month had passed. Was the Scholar''s Heart refined by him already? Mo Wuji opened his eyes and sent his spiritual will out. He immediately discovered that the Scholar''s Heart was not fully refined yet, but it had started to get weaker, slowly retreating back into that huge pit. Since he had already gotten to this level, how could Mo Wuji give up? He did not hesitate to stand up, stuffed a few Inedia Pills in his mouth and followed along with the green flames. When the green flames retreated by one step, he would take one step forward, all while maintaining his 102 meridians. The Scholar''s Heart seemed to have a tiny consciousness of its own, knowing that Mo Wuji did not have good intentions. It was not willing to simply be refined like that by Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji was getting close to the green flame lake near the pit, the Scholar''s Heart surged out once more. The experienced Mo Wuji did not wait for the Scholar''s Heart to engulf him; he immediately retreated. Whether he was advancing or retreating, his 102 meridians were always using the reverse circulation technique. Days passed. When Mo Wuji opened his eyes once again, he saw that there was only a thin layer of green left in the flame lake in the pit. Mo Wuji suppressed his excitement and directly jumped into the huge pit. The meagre green flame was no longer able to counteract against Mo Wuji and could only let itself slowly get refined by Mo Wuji. "Dong!" A sound like the emergence of a spring sounded in Mo Wuji''s Mind Palace; Mo Wuji opened his eyes. He clenched his fists and an indescribable sense of glee washed over his entire body. He had refined the Scholar''s Heart. It was now a pea-sized ball of fire, silently floating within his Mind Palace. That crisp "Dong" sound was the sound when the Scholar''s Heart was successfully condensed; it was pleasant to the ears. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t probe this flower of Scholar''s Heart, he could clearly feel the terrifying power within. The green within the lake had vanished without a trace, no longer containing any hints of flame energy. Mo Wuji felt his consolidated cultivation and slowly clenched his fists. After spending over two months to refine the Scholar''s Heart, he had gained a new revelation on cultivation. Perhaps everyone else would think, that in these two years, Mo Wuji''s greatest reward was the Scholar''s Heart. But only Mo Wuji knew clearly, his greatest reward wasn''t refining the Scholar''s Heart but creating his own cultivation technique. That was reversing his modified Immortal Mortal Technique. His Seven Styles Lightning Sky''s first style - Lightning Flash - was modified according to the Immortal Mortal Technique. This time, to defend against the terrifying flames of the Scholar''s Heart, he reversed this modified technique. Results had shown that doing so was extremely useful; not only did it save his life, he even refined the Scholar''s Heart. During the Scholar''s Heart refinement process, he used his understanding towards his meridians and cultivation to constantly improve on his reverse circulation method. While he refined the Scholar''s Heart, he also perfected this method. This wasn''t merely reversing his Lightning Flash circulation route, he had also added in many of his own personal insights. At the beginning, he still met with various problems when he reversed the circulation route, he even almost froze himself to death. But now, he could use the reverse circulation at any moment without any fear of freezing his meridians. That wasn''t the most important part. Most importantly, Mo Wuji discovered that when he used this reverse method, not only did his refinement speed increase by one to two folds, his pace of absorbing spiritual energy was also faster than what it was by one to two folds as well. Furthermore, the cultivated elemental energy was richer and stronger. This was his greatest reward. Even though he was still in Yuan Dan Stage Level 10, after these two months of refining, his elemental energy was greatly condensed. If he could continue to modify the Immortal Mortal Technique, he would continue to follow on this path of reversal. Mo Wuji turned back to the pit which had been devoid of green. He calmed down the glee in his heart before turning and rushing off. ¡­ Multiple days later, Mo Wuji arrived at a remote valley in the Lost Sky Ruins. He was preparing to refine all the storage rings he had on him. He had yet to refine Jing Gumu''s storage ring because his previous power was too low, his spiritual will was also weak. That''s why the matter had dragged for so long. But now, he was already at Yuan Dan Stage Level 10 and was close to advancing into the True Lake Stage. Refining Jing Gumu''s ring would take one to two days at the very most. However, Mo Wuji did not immediately refine Jing Gumu''s ring; he decided to first handle those rings from the Zhen Mo Continent fellas. Deep in his heart, he knew that if he could enter the Zhen Mo Continent from the Five Elements Desolate Domain, he definitely wouldn''t go through the Sky Sea. It was primarily because the journey across the Sky Sea was too far, using this route would definitely waste a lot of time. Furthermore, in the Sky Sea, it was easy to lose one''s bearings and direction. Now that the Zhen Mo Continent experts had arrived, they might actually have a map through the Five Elements Desolate Domain. In just three days, Mo Wuji had completely refined all the rings. His guess was right, all these True God Stage experts each had a flying spiritual equipment in their rings. The best one was definitely of high grade and Mo Wuji even felt that it was better than the one Xing Huang was prepared to gift him. The only thing for Mo Wuji''s dissatisfaction, was that this flying spiritual equipment looked too ugly; it looked like a ball. Which fella would design it like so? Did he think that a ball shaped flying equipment would reduce the air resistance? Mo Wuji organised all these items; spiritual equipment were placed in one side, pills and materials were placed in another. As for spirit stones, they were separately stored in a different storage ring. Unfortunately, besides this ball shaped flying equipment, the others were good but didn''t really catch Mo Wuji''s eyes. After organising everything, Mo Wuji really found a map. He merely unfolded it once and he immediately say the words: Lost Sky Ruins. Don''t tell me that this fella got this map from the Lost Sky Ruins? Otherwise, why would it show the position of the Lost Sky Ruins? When Mo Wuji fully unfolded the map, he was shocked still. Not only did this map contain the Lost Sky Ruins, it also had the Sky Sea and the Five Elements Desolate Domain. The only point of disappointment was that the Sky Sea portion was ripped out, only the Five Elements Desolate Domain and the Lost Sky Ruins portions remained. The map clearly showed that the Zhen Mo Continent could be accessed from the Lost Sky Ruins and the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Even the Sky Sea portion showed that there was a route to the Zhen Mo Continent. Traversing the Lost Sky Ruins can get to the Zhen Mo Continent? Mo Wuji turned and faced the depths of the Lost Sky Ruins, uncertainty filled his heart. It wasn''t that the map wasn''t clear, but the Lost Sky Ruins was truly too dangerous. It''s said that only few that enter the depths actually survive. Chapter 277: Howling Wind Beast Chapter 277: Howling Wind Beast Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji did not hesitate for long before he decided to go by the Lost Sky Ruins. The Lost Sky Ruins were indeed dangerous, but would it be less dangerous to go by the Sky Sea or Five Elements Desolate Domain? With his cultivation level, it would be difficult to go to Zhen Mo Continent by any path. The reason why he chose the path of the Lost Sky Ruins was that this was the shortest route. If he entered Zhen Mo Continent from the Sky Sea, with his current cultivation level and speed, and without getting lost, it would take him an estimated three to five years time. If it were from the Five Elements Desolate Domain, the travel duration would greatly decrease, but it would still take about a year. However, based on the markings on the map, if he dared to pass through the Lost Sky Ruins, he would reach Zhen Mo Continent in half a year. After making his decision, Mo Wuji did not hesitate any further. He took out Jing Gumu¡¯s ring. As soon as he finished refining this ring, he would set off immediately. What would have taken him months with no guarantee of success now only took half a day¡¯s time with Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. This was attributed not only to Mo Wuji¡¯s increase in strength, but also the death of Jing Gumu. When he looked through Jing Gumu¡¯s ring, Mo Wuji finally understood what it meant to be a bumpkin. Jing Gumu¡¯s storage ring did not have many spiritual items, but at least seven to eight spiritual items inside were High Grade ones, and there was even a Half Supreme Grade spiritual item. It was a pity that the Half Supreme Grade spiritual item was a hammer, which Mo Wuji was not interested in. What made Mo Wuji puzzled was the lack of a flying magic treasure in Jing Gumu¡¯s ring. There were extremely large numbers of spirit stones in the ring, which could not be counted by how many there were, but instead by how many piles there were. Based on Mo Wuji¡¯s rough estimates, there were at least 10 to 20 million spirit stones present. The rest of the items inside were weird exotic things, such as various smithing ingredients that one only heard of before, various ridiculous and weird magic skills¡­ There weren¡¯t many cultivation techniques either, but when Mo Wuji casually flipped through them, all of them were at least of Earth Grade. In this guy¡¯s ring, he did not find a single poor quality item. After sorting out all the items, Mo Wuji took out a round disc about the size of a palm. The round disc had a few array flags planted into it, and multiple crisscrossing runes, and if one looked at it for a little longer, one would feel dizzy. After he inspected the disc multiple times, he suddenly became excited. This was an array disc, and a Grade 8 one at that. Another two hours had passed, and Mo Wuji finally took out the round flying ship that had been refined by him, charging into the depths of the Lost Sky Ruins in a black line. A few days after Mo Wuji left, a brown haired man and a woman in a light green dress appeared next the the pit where the Scholar¡¯s Heart was at. The brown haired man stared at the empty pit blankly, without saying a word. "Tianzhen, didn¡¯t you say that there¡¯s the Scholar¡¯s Heart here and asked for my help? What¡¯s with this scene before us?" The man remained silent, and it was the woman beside him that broke the silence. The brown haired man clenched his fist, and spoke only after a while, "Because the Scholar¡¯s Heart has been refined and taken away by someone else." This was Heaven Demon Sect¡¯s Fang Zhentian, and it wasn¡¯t easy for him to find a helper to block the defend himself from the Scholar¡¯s Heart while he refined it. However, when he arrived back here, he discovered that good things might not actually wait for him. "Could it be Great Evolution Sect¡¯s Feng Zhe?" The woman asked suspiciously. Fang Zhentian shook his head, "It¡¯s not Feng Zhe. Even if Feng Zhe could find the same method as me, refining the Scholar¡¯s Heart wouldn¡¯t take one or two days. Back when I started refining the Scholar¡¯s Heart with him, I felt like there was a third person other than Feng Zhe and myslef refining the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Initially I thought that I was hallucinating, but now it seems like that was real." "Who would that be?" The woman asked in shock. "After we left this area, I did not wait for long before returning, and Feng Zhe did the same. Only the five of us knew about the Scholar¡¯s Heart¡­" Fang Zhentian could not carry on. The person he suspected most was Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji was also the person he didn¡¯t have to suspect too, as Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was only at Yuan Dan Stage. He had almost died after using his spiritual will to lure out the Scholar¡¯s Heart. For a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, it would be impossible for Mo Wuji to refine the fire at the outermost area, so how could he draw out the Scholar¡¯s Heart? Moreover, when he met Feng Zhe, the Scholar¡¯s Heart had not been touched before. "Scr*w it, let¡¯s go. We should help the Tian Ji Sect a little more after we return, perhaps this sect will become the number one sect of Lost Continent¡­" Fang Zhentian explained to the woman by his side while seemingly talking to himself. Even if it was not very possible for Mo Wuji to do it, he was still rater cautious of Mo Wiji. A rogue cultivator could actually go on the Hundred Sect Alliance Contribution Points Board, become Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head, then also take up the role of the Hundred Sect Alliance¡¯s alliance head. No one could say that this was all due to luck, as Mo Wuji indeed had a backer who wiped out Worldly Immortal Stage Gu Qi and many other True God Stage experts. Regardless whether it was Mo Wuji or not, forging good relations with Tian Ji Sect would never go wrong. ¡­ In the few days that Mo Wuji flew on the route indicated on the map, he did not meet with any danger, which let him heave a sigh of relief. The round flying ship was a little ugly, the its speed was no joke. On top of that, it was extremely stable while in flight. Based on his current speed, it would not even take half a year for the trip. Before Mo Wuji could start calculating how long was left till he exited the Lost Sky Ruins, a wild gust of wind blew in his direction. In an instant, his field of vision was covered by sand. The wild wind, which carried sand and rocks, blew Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship hundreds of meters off course, and without finding out what was going on, Mo Wuji just kept his flying magic treasure. At the same time, he retrieved the concealment array disc, and turned on the concealment runes on the array disc, completely hiding him within it. Mo Wuji had seen a demonic beast undergoing heavenly tribulation before, so he felt that this raging wind was a little unusual, because he could feel the anger and killing intent inside it. "Roar!" As expected, once this thought just left Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, a rage filled roar echoed out through the air. From the roar, even wilder waves of wind and sand blew over, blasting him away. Before he got blown away, he spotted the vague figures of two gigantic demonic beasts. Both of them had a light coloured exterior, but their heads were tens of meters tall. When one opened its mouth, it was like the size of a lake, dark and ominous as ever. "Bang!" The two demonic beasts finally clashed together, causing rich stench and elemental energy to explode out in all directions. Mo Wuji, who had been spinning like a top, was hit by the strike of elemental energy, which made him fly even faster. At this point, Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air. He was thankful that he had obtained a Grade 8 concealment array, and managed to turn it on in time. This was because he recognised this demonic beast, which was named Howling Wind Beast. Howling Wind Beasts were large in size, and could produce wild gusts of elemental energy sands. Once a Howling Wind Beast reached above Grade 7, the elemental energy sands would be rather difficult for even True God Stage experts to defend against. As for those at Nihility God Stage or below, they had no chance to blocking it. The Howling Wind Beast also had an especially bad pet peeve, which was that it did not allow any living things to live within his field of vision. In other words, if Mo Wuji did not have the concealment array disc, the Howling Wind Beasts would have discovered his existence and swallowed him instantly. The power of the wind and sand was not the only thing to be feared; there was still the equally terrifying suction from the Howling Wind Beast. Even though Mo Wuji was at Yuan Dan Stage Level 10, the Howling Wind Beast could still effortlessly suck him into its mouth from hundreds of meters away. Reports of sighting Howling Wind Beasts were so rare as most cultivators that saw one would be eaten by the beast "Boom boom boom!" Violent clashes of sand, rock, and elemental energy exploded again. The spinning Mo Wuji was blown away by this explosion. In the face of such crazy winds, Mo Wuji dared not move at all. Once he used any elemental energy within the range of this wild wind, it would definitely be detected by the Howling Wind Beast. The sounds of explosions slowly grew further and further away, and eventually the area around Mo Wuji calmed down. He then landed safely on the ground. As fast as he could, Mo Wuji climbed up, but he did not draw his flying ship to fly away immediately. He had heard rumours that there would surely be wind attribute treasures wherever Howling Wind Beasts appear, and in this location not one, but two were fighting. So what grade of wind attribute treasure would be present? Chapter 278: Danger In Lost Sky Ruins Chapter 278: Danger In Lost Sky Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji knew for sure that since those Howling Wind Beasts were fighting here, the treasure they were fighting over would definitely be nearby. They probably went further away to prevent damaging this area, hence the treasure must have been around there. Immediately, Mo Wuji traced the path that the gusts came from, and even before half an incense¡¯s time was up, he found a slope with extremely dense spiritual energy. The slope was not that steep, and was completely green, a good contrast to the barren Lost Sky Ruins. But there¡¯s nothing here? Mo Wuji was afraid that he had seen wrongly, using his spiritual will to scan the slope time and again, even looking underground. However, he did not find anything, but if there was something off about the place, it would be the two large rocks at the top of the slope which had a temporarily made cave at their side. Without question, this cave belonged to one of the Howling Wind Beasts. Since this location had been occupied by one Howling Wind Beast, but another one still came over to snatch an item, it was indicative that this item was really something. The roars echoed out from afar again. It seemed like the Howling Wind Beast would be returning before long. The spherical flying ship was brought out. Since he couldn¡¯t find the treasure, it was not fated for him to do so. Thus, the best move would be to leave, before he wouldn¡¯t be able to once the Howling Wind Beast came back. But why did the Howling Wind Beast set up two giant rocks at the side of the cave? Before Mo Wuji left, he went to check out what lay between the two large rocks, and he saw a light grey grass stalk there. This stalk of grass was too ordinary, with only a few centimeters in height and no offshoots. More accurately speaking, this was not a stalk of grass, but a blade of grass, because something shaped like a leaf grew out from the top of it. This stalk of grass did not give off anything like other spiritual herbs, and did not look like one either. Mo Wuji only noticed it before as the weeds around this small grey grass had been cleared away, leaving this lonely stalk there. Could this unassuming stalk of grass that even looked like a weed be a treasure? The roars came closer by the minute, and Mo Wuji could not think so much anymore. Regardless whether it was a treasure or not, he would inspect it later. He scooped the blade of grass into a jade box, and quickly entered the spherical flying ship. The next moment the ship turned into a black line, zipping through the air into the horizon. A few minutes later, the sound of the Howling Wind Beast going bonkers echoed out, and the level of rage it had was as though someone had kidnapped his wife. Could this blade of grass be a treasure? Mo Wuji took it out again. The light grey colour was very ordinary, with nothing much standing out. The only interesting thing was that this grass had some weird rune on it. After staring that the grass for a good hour, Mo Wuji kept it back into his storage ring. He simply could not identify what made this grass valuable. Since his encounter with the Howling Wind Beast, Mo Wuji became even more careful. He dared not cultivate, instead only studying Chu Xingzi¡¯s Array Dao while steering the flying ship forward. But even though he was on the highest alert, about half a month of flying later, he was still marked by a gigantic flying demonic beast. The flying demonic beast looked a little like an owl, having two yes that were like two large lanterns, and its body was a few times bigger than the flying ship. Initially, Mo Wuji intended to avoid this gigantic flying demonic beast altogether. However, before he could steer the flying ship away, a large pair of wings came flapping. His field of vision was blocked out for a whole, then the whole flying ship was slammed downwards by the large wings. If not for the decent defensive capabilities of the flying ship, it would have been smashed to pieces. In his mind, Mo Wuji was panicking, and he used all of his spiritual will to stabilise the flying ship, turning it in a different direction, then charging away in a slanted position. As the flying demonic beast saw that Mo Wuji did not plummet to the ground, it gave chase. It had no intention of letting him escape. By then, Mo Wuji had filled the spirit stone groove with Earth grade spirit stones, and he was trying his best to push the flying ship forward. Even so, the flying demonic beast was still hot on his tail. Who knew what kind of grudge it had with him, as it closely followed behind the flying ship. It seemed as though as it would not rest until it caught up with Mo Wuji. Thankfully, while he was unable to shake off the flying demonic beast, it did not manage to catch up with the flying ship either. This cat and mouse game in the air lasted for days. At first, Mo Wuji wanted to slow down a little to throw a few electroballs at the demonic beast when it approaches. But after thinking of the immense strength of it, this was a risk he was not willing to take. WIth his Yuan Dan Stage cultivation level, he probably would have been killed by the demonic beast way before he could release any lightning bolts. There was no other way but to keep running. Another two days passed, and to Mo Wuji¡¯s surprise, the flying demonic beast that had been pestering him for days had vanished. But before he could celebrate, a terrifying force pulled the flying ship downwards, and it plummeted once again. Scanning outwards with his spiritual will instantly, Mo Wuji discovered that this time it was not the flying demonic beast, but gravity from the ground. He was in the middle of a endless swamp, and the suction had come from it. The gravity became stronger over time, and no matter how Mo Wuji steered the flying ship to go upwards, he could not escape from this frightening gravity. Hence, he decided to keep the flying ship, and fall from the sky alone. With a "Splat!", he dove deep into the swamp¡¯s mud. Mo Wuji initially thought that the flying ship could not counter the gravity, but now that he was in the swamp, he understood that even without the flying ship, gravity was still pulling him further and further down, and his speed of descent was increasing. Any deeper, and he would be killed by the pressure if he had not suffocated yet. Mustering his elemental energy, Mo Wuji finally halted his dangerous descent. Then he began to climb up slowly. At the start, every time he climbed up a little, he would sink back down again. But eventually he got the hang of things, and his climbing speed increased significantly as he used both his spiritual will and elemental energy. At his cultivation level, he might not suffocate to death after being submerged in the swamp for half a year to a year, but if he couldn¡¯t climb out, it would just be a matter of time. It would be a joke if a cultivator that was about to advance to the True Lake Stage suffocated to death in a swamp. A few days later, Mo Wuji became even more relaxed, and began to cultivate while climbing. He used his modified cultivation technique, the Reverse Circulation Immortal Mortal Technique, to cultivate, which made his cultivation level improve quite a bit. Moreover, with the reverse circulation cultivation technique, his climbing speed increased tremendously too. The spiritual energy present in the swamp was not only rich, but also very pure. Cultivating while climbing. Anyway, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in a rush like before. No matter how fast he climbed, it was nowhere close to the speed that he plummeted at before. So he continuously climbed upwards for seven to eight days, and when light finally fell on his eyes, he knew that he had made it out. Before his whole body left the mud, both of his legs seemed to be tangled in something, and the next moment, an even stronger force tugged at his feet. Mo Wuji, who had already climbed out of the swamp, was pulled back in again. After being trapped inside the swamp for so many days, even though something was pulling him down again, Mo Wuji remained extremely calm. His spiritual will swept out, and detected that there were two vine-line things pulling his legs. Seeing that this force was going to drag him into the depths unknown, Mo Wuji used the Scholar¡¯s Heart in his Mind Palace to coat his feet. Violent trembling could be felt coming from below, then the things that were grabbing his feet turned to ashes and disappeared. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, and increased his speed to get out of the swamp. When he used the Scholar¡¯s Heart to burn the vines at his feet, he could feel that those things were not simple. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have caused such violent trembling. Whatever it was, it probably got shocked by Mo Wuji¡¯s fire. A day later, he finally got out of the swamp again, and the thing that tangled his feet did not appear. On the surface of the swamp, Mo Wuji lay prone, looking out at the surroundings. It was swamp everywhere, and the sky was greyish all round. There was nothing to take bearings from, and no north, south, east or west. After a moment of hesitation, Mo Wuji drew out a low grade flying ship. He wanted to test if flying ships could be used as normal ships, at least not sinking in the swamp. However, Mo Wuji got disappointed almost immediately. When he just took out the flying ship, it sank down swiftly, not even allowing him to retrieve it. The scenery in all directions looked the same, so Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help it but pick a direction based on feeling, and started moving out. He decided to cultivate while moving. In his cultivation journey till now, he had experienced too many incidents. He had opened 102 meridians, so cultivating while moving wasn¡¯t impossible. Perhaps Mo Wuji was the only one that could perform such a feat. ¡­ The Fallen Ruins. This place looked like a temporary market, with many disorganised buildings and scattered stalls al around. If someone saw this place, he would think that it hadn¡¯t been established for long. In reality, the Fallen Ruins had existed for even longer than some other cultivation cities in Zhen Mo Continent. After so many years, it never managed to become an actual city because not many people would stay here for long, on top of the sparse spiritual energy present and its remote location. With the sparse spiritual energy and no one living here for long, logically speaking, there should have been extremely low numbers of people coming here. But the reality was the complete opposite. The Fallen Ruins never had a lack of people arriving. This was because the Fallen Ruins was situated at the edge of the Lost Sky Ruins, and even though the Zhen Mo Continent was very vast and wide, there weren¡¯t many places that were as good for hiding as the Fallen Ruins. That¡¯s right, the Fallen Ruins existed for people to hide from their enemies. In the Zhen Mo Continent, almost half of the cultivators would flee to the Fallen Ruins when being hunted down. Chapter 279: Lost Swamp Of Certain Death Chapter 279: Lost Swamp Of Certain Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Lost Sky Ruins bordered the Fallen Ruins, and to Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivators, there weren¡¯t many treasures in the Lost Sky Ruins. Despite that, it was still very dangerous inside the Lost Sky Ruins, and even True God Stage experts could perish inside. Thus, for cultivators that hid at Fallen Ruins, once someone came looking for them, they would flee into the Lost Sky Ruins. Not many would give chase in there. At this moment, in a remote tea house of Fallen Ruins¡¯ market, two men and one woman sat at the corner. "Brother Qi, I heard that it¡¯s more dangerous to go to Lost Sky Ruins than the Star Wars Battlefield. At least there¡¯s a chance of survival in the Star Wars. Going to the Lost Sky Ruins means certain death." The woman broke the silence. She had slightly darker skin, two big and bright eyes, and a set of thick eyebrows, which gave her a heroic look. The man she called brother did not appear ordinary either, as his face was rather bronzed. In his eyes there was a tinge of loneliness, and he had an uncaring look on his face. "Brother Qi, there¡¯s no point in wasting away as you are now. I feel that what Rong He said makes sense. With our level of cultivation, certain death awaits us in the Lost Sky Ruins." Seeing that brother did not speak, the other short, lean man lamented. Brother Qi finally regained his senses, and he sighed, "Sister Rong, Xingteng, I¡¯ve dragged the both of you down this time." The lean man named Xingteng quickly waved it off, "Brother Qi, don¡¯t speak as though as we are not family. Now that we have come this far, why don¡¯t we think about how we can hide from the Jing Clan." After hearing that, Brother Qi got his act together, "The Jing Clan is strong, so we have no choice but to go to the Lost Sky Ruins. I heard that we can reach the Lost Continent through the Lost Sky Ruins. As long as we do that, we will be able to set up a life for ourselves. As long as we can reach the Lost Continent, I, Pang Qi, pledge that I will bring you guys back to Zhen Mo." Xingteng sighed, and said, "Brother Qi, it¡¯s not that we want to discourage you, but this is just a far fetched dream with our current cultivation levels. Even if we have extremely good luck and manage to pass through the Lost Sky Ruins, what can we do in Lost Continent? I heard that the cultivation culture of Lost Sky Ruins is very backwards, and Star King Mountain even brought a batch of genius cultivators from there back to Zhen Mo Continent. If there¡¯s better opportunities there, why would they come to Zhen Mo Continent?" Pang Qi looked at the two of them, and said in an extremely serious tone, "You¡¯re both wrong, the Lost Continent may not be able to allow people to become Worldly Immortal Kings, but this does not mean that there¡¯s nothing there. We have a low cultivation level, so there¡¯s even more opportunities for us at Lost Continent." "How so?" Rong He asked out of confusion. While she believed that Pang Qi would not lie to Xiong Xingteng and her, but she still did not really understand what he was saying. Just as Xingteng had said, if the cultivation culture of Lost Continent was that great, why did their top geniuses come to Zhen Mo Continent? Pang Qi then asked, "Let me ask you two, do you know who is rank 1 on the Mortal Board?" "Isn¡¯t it Yan Yangnan?" Rong He and Xiong Xingteng were puzzled, as this information could be found in every cultivation city, so why did brother have to ask about it? Pang Qi quickly added on, "What I¡¯m talking about is not the current rank 1, but the previous rank 1¡­ Another way to put it is that Star King Mountain¡¯s Mortal Board ranking, is the Mortal King Board¡¯s ranking¡­" "Brother Qi, how do you know of the Star King Mountain¡¯s Mortal King Board?" Xiong Xingteng asked excitedly. The Mortal King Board was a ranking made of all past rank 1s of the Mortal Board. This ranking was completely based on the strength of the past rank 1s, and only those who had been rank 1 on the Mortal Board would be qualified to be on this board. Similar to the Mortal King Board, there were a Earth King Board and a Heaven King Board. However, the Mortal King Board was completely different from the Mortal Board. The Mortal Board rankings was known by everyone, but the Mortal King Board was located in the deepest part of Star King Mountain, and no one other than a few experts knew the rankings on the Mortal King Board. Most people didn¡¯t even know of its existence. Precisely because of that, Xiong Xingteng was shocked. "Brother Qi, I remember now. The previous Mortal Board rank had a very weird name, called Rogue Cultivator 2705." Rong He suddenly said. Pang Qi nodded his head, "Sister Rong is right, the previous rank 1 of Mortal Board was Rogue Cultivator 2705. You two should know Gu Shaoyi right? Rogue Cultivator 2705 defeated him to become Mortal Board¡¯s rank 1. Do you think that Gu Shaoyi is strong? Compared with the current Mortal Board rank 1, Yan Yangnan, who is stronger?" "Gu Shaoyi should be stronger." Xiong Xingteng replied. He had seen Gu Shaoyi fight before, and the strength that he witness made him give up any notion of battling Gu Shaoyi. Pang Qi continued, "I believe that Gu Shaoyi is stronger too. Because Gu Shaoyi was rank 1 on Mortal Board, so his name is also on the Mortal King Board. From what I heard, Gu Shaoyi is in the top 100 of the Mortal King Board, and since he is in the top 100, it means that Rogue Cultivator 2705 who defeated Gu Shaoyi is also in the top 100¡­" "But brother Qi, how does this have anything to do with us going to Lost Continent?" Xiong Xingteng furrowed his brows. Taking in a deep breath, Pang Qu slowly spoke, "Because this Rogue Cultivator 2705 is from Lost Continent, and Gu Shaoyi fought with him at the Lost Continent. Based on what Gu Shaoyi said after returning, Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s strength greatly exceeded his own, and he was defeated by pure ability, not with any ploys or schemes." "What? Rogue Cultivator 2705 is from Lost Continent?" Rong He and Xiong Xingteng exclaimed at the same time. A place like Lost Continent that was backwards in cultivation culture could actually produce an expert like Rogue Cultivator 2705? They had always been living in Zhen Mo Continent, so they naturally knew what it meant to be rank 1 on Mortal Board. Not only Mortal Board rank 1, but as long as one entered the top 100 of the Mortal King Board, one would be an expert among the experts. Nodding his head, Pang Qi spoke, "Rogue Cultivator 2705 was not among those genius cultivators that came to Zhem Mo Continent. Since he is so strong, why wouldn¡¯t he come here? I think that to him, the cultivation opportunities at Lost Continent is not worse than on Zhen Mo Continent. Even Mortal Board¡¯s rank 1 also stayed to cultivate on Lost Continent, so why can¡¯t we go over?" A moment later, Long Qi saw Xiong Xingteng and Rong He with shocked expressions on their face, then he continued speaking, "Moreover, I have a map with the route to Lost Continent through the Lost Sky Ruins. As long as we do not perish in the Lost Sky Ruins, we will reach the Lost Continent in at most six months¡¯ time." "Brother Qi, even if we have that route, isn¡¯t it still very difficult for us to survive the journey to Lost Continent?" Xiong Xingteng was a little touched, but still kept his cool. Pang Qi gave a sad smile, "Why wouldn¡¯t I know that us three going to the Lost Continent means almost certain death? But do we have any choice? I believe that sometime soon, the Jing Clan¡¯s people will manage to find us here, and when that time comes we¡¯ll still die in the Lost Sky Ruins. With the map of the safe route, we can avoid most of the dangers, and once we reach the edge of the Lost Swamp and cross it, we¡¯ll be half a step into the Lost Continent already." "Brother Qi, I¡¯ve heard of the Lost Swamp before. Cultivators that enter it basically all get swallowed up by the swamp without exception." Rong He reported worriedly. Just as Pang Qi was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, "Let¡¯s leave quickly, the Jing Clan has found us." Xiong Xingteng stood up, "Brother Qi, let¡¯s go to the Lost Sky Ruins then. Since Lost Continent could produce a Rogue Cultivator 2705, who knows, maybe it can produce a second one. Just as brother Qi mentioned just now, as long as we survive, we¡¯ll kill our way back one day." ¡­ "Boom!" Dense spiritual energy broke through the shackles again after countless rounds of spiritual energy circulation. If not for the fact that he couldn¡¯t stand up in the swamp, Mo Wuji wanted to stand there and to give a loud roar. Since he had sunk into the swamp, Mo Wuji had been cultivating non-stop. He didn¡¯t know if five or six months had passed. Now, he finally broke through from Yuan Dan Stage Level 11 to Level 12. It was not known how longer it would take for him to exit the swamp, but Mo Wuji did not care about that at the moment. Perhaps one day, he would break through from Yuan Dan Stage Level 12 to True Lake Stage in the swamp. "Hmm, what¡¯s that in the swamp?" A young girl suddenly said as she looked into the Lost Swamp. Beside this girl, there was also a beautiful young woman and a middle aged man. Both of them had an aura about them, and it was apparent that they were rather strong. "Someone¡¯s coming." The middle aged man did not bother about the swamp, but looked at the desert behind him. The young girl that was initially shocked also turned her gaze away, seeing two men and one woman speeding towards them. "Brother Qi, slow down, it looks like there¡¯s people up ahead." The three people that approached them were Pang Qi, Xiong Xingteng and Rong He that left Fallen Ruins two months ago. Pang Qi¡¯s foresight was the best, and he had the most experience, so with one glance, he knew that the three standing at the edge of the Lost Swamp were not ordinary people. He quickly bowed respectfully at the young woman and middle aged man, "Rogue cultivator Pang Qi greets both elders. Please forgive me for unknowingly charging at elder." As Pang Qi bowed, the other two behind him followed suit. "What about me? Why don¡¯t you greet me?" Seeing that Pang Qi did not greet her, the young girl immediately became unhappy. "Zi Han don¡¯t spout nonsense." The young woman chided the young girl, then turning to Pang Qi¡¯s trio, "Are the few of you going to enter the Lost Swamp? Do you know that it¡¯s certain death for those that enter it, and there¡¯s no life in there¡­" To have reached this location, it was obvious that they were heading for the Lost Swamp. The young girl named Zi Han spoke when he heard the words "certain death", "Auntie, who says it¡¯s certain death and that there¡¯s no life in it. I just saw¡­" Before she could finish her sentence, everyone stared at the edge of the Lost Swamp, where a man covered with mud, leaving only his two bright eyes exposed, stood there, obviously having just emerged from the swamp. Chapter 280: The Ordinary Youth Chapter 280: The Ordinary Youth Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The young woman also forgot to continue questioning Pang Qi and co, completely focusing on this muddy man that had just crawled out of the Lost Swamp. The other people were the same, looking at the muddy man at the edge of the Lost Swamp. After a few excruciating months, Mo Wuji finally climbed out of the Lost Swamp. At this moment, he stood at the edge of the swamp, looking at the desert before him, both hands shivering from excitement. How was it humanly possible for someone to survive and even cross the Lost Swamp? But Mo Wuji still did it. If he did not possess the Scholar¡¯s Heart and his Reverse Circulation Technique, even ten thousand Mo Wuji would have been swallowed up by the swamp. In this half a year inside the swamp, he wasn¡¯t dragged down by some unknown demonic beasts or sucked into a strong whirlpool only once. For those obstacles, he could use the Scholar¡¯s Heart and Reverse Circulation Technique to wriggle free. While moving, he could perform reverse spiritual energy circulation to prevent himself from being sucked further down by whirlpools. The Scholar¡¯s Heart also allowed him to burn away time and again the various unknown things that latched onto him. These things were probably not the scariest. The most frightening thing in the swamp were those Swimming Bugs, some soft snake-and-bug-like animal that swam around. It was the most disgusting feeling to have it swim on the surface of your body. Sometimes he had to cloak his whole body with the Scholar¡¯s Heart, but even so, countless swimming bugs still remained. If he could do it all over again, Mo Wuji would have rather gone by the Sky Sea, or even through the Five Elements Desolate Domain, but never crossing the Lost Swamp again. Now he finally completed his journey through the swamp, and he stood above it. As compared to passing through such a terrifying swamp, cultivating to Yuan Dan Stage Level 12 meant nothing. Mo Wuji totally ignored the six people that were staring at him, kneeling at the edge of the swamp, clenching both his fists, raising his chest, then he roared. In this half a year, he had been too oppressed, and he would have felt uncomfortable inside if he did not shout it out. One long roar, from releasing stress to expressing his emotions, before he slowly calmed down. As the six people heard Mo Wuji¡¯s roar, they stood silently at the side while gazing upon him. All of them could hear the surge of emotion and longing for freedom in the voice "He¡¯s not simple¡­" Pang Qi looked at the roaring Mo Wuji and suddenly declared. A good half an incense¡¯s time later, Mo Wuji slowly stood up. His gaze swept across the six of them, then he charged into the desert in the distance. From what he observed, two out of the six were of higher cultivation level than him. Since those two did not have any killing intent directed at him, he did not have to bother with them. When the young girl saw Mo Wuji rush off, she wanted to give chase, but as soon as she moved, the young woman pulled her back, "Zi Han, what are you trying to do?" The young girl chucked, "I want to ask that muddy man why he went in the Lost Swamp and got himself covered with mud. After coming out he still shouted for half a day, what a noisy person." The young woman scolded her, "Zi Han, let me tell you, if you say anything disrespectful to others in the future, no matter where I go, you won¡¯t need to follow me anymore." Upon hearing that, the young girl pouted in dissatisfaction, and quickly replied, "Aunt, I won¡¯t do this again. Why are you so fierce towards me?" The young woman also felt that she had been a little too harsh, so she relaxed her tone, "Don¡¯t judge that this guy is not strong just because he has no spirituality. Do you think it¡¯s a simple task to survive in the Lost Swamp for a few months?" Of course there was another sentence that the young woman held back. She had obviously sensed that Mo Wuji had no spirituality and did not have a high cultivation level, but yet from his heroic roar, she could determine that Mo Wuji was stronger than ordinary True Lake Stage cultivators. That continuous roar had displayed his strong and rich elemental energy. "How many months?" The young girl names Rong He exclaimed. As soon as she spoke, Pang Qi frantically bowed, "My junior apprentice sister is still ignorant, elder please forgive her." In response, the young woman smiled slightly, "It¡¯s alright, that man had indeed survived in the Lost Swamp for a few months, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have had that sort of stress to relieve. Also, his body was covered in mud, but yet his hands were clean, which indicates that his cultivation technique is different from ordinary ones. His neck had a patch of mudless skin too, and this would only be the case if he was soaking in the swamp for a long time." "But he¡¯s still ignorant. Aunt, didn¡¯t you say that we have to stop to bow and greet those with high cultivation level? That¡¯s right, this guy named Pang Qi knows how things work¡­" The young girl couldn¡¯t help but grumble. However, the young woman¡¯s expression had turned ugly, and she chided again, "Shut up." After this final chiding, the young woman finally calmed down, and took a more relaxed tone, "Zi Han, if you continue acting like this, how will you roam around by yourself in the future? That guy saw us and obviously was not afraid of us. Thus he must have met many experts in the swamp. Next time if you do this again, I¡¯m worried that you will offend others, and no matter how many lives you have it will not be enough." Rong He whispered at one side, "Brother Qi, this guy just came out from the swamp. Why don¡¯t we go ask him?" To that, Pang Qi shook his head, "There¡¯s no need. He¡¯s washing up in the lake right ahead. After he¡¯s done, he¡¯ll come looking for us." The young woman nodded her head in agreement upon hearing Pang Qi¡¯s words. She did not actively stop Mo Wuji to question him as she knew that he would come over by his own volition. Indeed, an incense¡¯s time later, after he had washed himself clean from top to bottom multiple times, Mo Wuji walked over while tying up his long hair. Upon spotted Mo Wuji approaching,the young woman thought to herself: what a man. In terms of looks, she had seen many men much more handsome than Mo Wuji, but there had never been a man like him that exuded such confidence and another x-factor that she just couldn¡¯t get her finger on. His black hair was bundled up casually, and his well chiselled body was both large and defined. His face was not the most good looking, but had a sort of warmth that made people feel very comfortable while looking at it. The most shocking feature of his was his pair of sparkling eyes which seemed as though they could peer into your heart. The young woman was stunned. Was this a youth? Then why did she feel like this was an elder that had countless years of experience under his belt? That¡¯s it, she finally thought of what the x-factor was: looking ordinary. While the youth before her had a pair of shiny eyes, a perfect body, but he was as ordinary as a mortal. That¡¯s right, just like a mortal, without any aura or spirituality. Upon closer inspection, other than his two bright eyes, there was nothing special about him. Other than being ordinary, it was being ordinary. Sucking in a deep breath, the young woman was sure than Mo Wuji was not ordinary at all. If she had seen him elsewhere, perhaps she would have just glanced past him and felt that this youth had a manly look. But everyone here knew that this youth had just come out of the Lost Swamp. What sort of place was the Lost Swamp? Could an ordinary person come out from it? Could a mortal that could not cultivate survive for months in the Lost Swamp? "Greetings dao friends." Mo Wuji greeted as he walked closer to them. As the alliance head of the Hundred Sect Alliance, even True God Stage experts had to address him as alliance head in his presence, so Mo Wuji simply formed a fist and did not bow, which was very normal and natural. In reality it was as such too. Other than the young girl, no one here dared to take the youth in front of them lightly, and they returned the greeting. Chapter 281: Not A Simple Woman Chapter 281: Not A Simple Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I want to ask, how far is it from here to Zhen Mo Continent, and how should I get there?" Mo Wuji guessed that these people definitely came from Zhen Mo Continent. The young maiden softly said, "I wonder whether you want to go to Zhen Mo Continent through the safest way, or do you wish to temper yourself through a dangerous route?" Even though Mo Wuji knew that this middle-aged man and young maiden had a higher cultivation than him, he did not mind, because they were merely in the Nihility God Stage. He had seen many Nihility Gods and he could tell that these people did not have malicious intentions. Even if they had malicious intentions, he could easily escape through the Lost Swamp. He had cultivated within the swamp for half a year, and if he went back there, he would be like a fish in water. If he prepared things well, a Nihility God definitely wouldn''t be able to catch him. After his questions, the young maiden¡¯s response immediately raised his vigilance. This young maiden was clearly waiting for him to answer that he wanted the safest way to Zhen Mo Continent. But if she really wanted to give him the answer, she would have just said it directly, and would not have given him such a response. She was clearly thinking of something. Mo Wuji casually swept his eyes across this young maiden and discovered that this young maiden was actually really beautiful. Her hourglass figure was concealed by her dress but the faint outline of her slender waistline added some points to her charm. Her long hair was tied up neatly; the nape of her neck was white like a swan, her delicate-looking skin was crystal clear. She clearly had a pair of amorous eyes but it was dulled under her serious expression. However, all these were just her external appearances. What was brewing within this woman''s heart was definitely not simple. Mo Wuji laughed slightly, "I naturally want to know the safest route, I wonder whether you could share it with me?" The young maiden sighed and after a brief hesitation, she said, "I won''t hide it from this dao friend. From here to Zhen Mo Continent, if you take the safest route, it would only take around a month''s time. If you go through other ways, it might take several months and you might even encounter strong demonic beasts during your journey. But, this safest route is my Chu Clan''s secret. Because of this, I''m really put in a spot." Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. He had his map, and even though it didn''t indicate for him to go through the Lost Swamp, it would not be difficult for him to find his original route. This young maiden clearly wants him to help her with something, that''s why she would use this "safest route" as the a bargaining chip. He wasn¡¯t familiar with her and they had only just met, so he didn¡¯t even consider helping her. "Since that''s the case, I won''t trouble the two of you. Goodbye." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and left. [1] Mo Wuji''s unexpected response directly left that young maiden speechless and clueless on what to do. She thought that Mo Wuji would continue to ask her how he could obtain this route, but she would never have thought he would act like this. She did not know that this kind of simple parlour tricks weren''t even worth mentioning in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had lived two lives and was used to all kinds of tricks. Not talking about those he encountered, even his own schemes were much better than this young maiden. To play with him in such a game, this little girl was not qualified. If he was so easily tricked in this cultivation world, he would already have weeds growing above his grave. "Big brother, please wait¡­" Mo Wuji only walked for ten over meters when he was called back by a girl. He turned back to see a slightly tanned girl with bright and big eyes. He asked, "Is anything the matter?" Even though he asked this question, he was still thinking: Is this girl and that young maiden from the same gang? "Big brother, I''m called Rong He. I want to ask, is this Lost Swamp dangerous? If I go in, would I be able to survive?" Mo Wuji had sized this big eyed girl up; she look slightly anxious, even though she could not see through Mo Wuji''s cultivation, she knew that Mo Wuji should not be simple. "Friend, my name is Pang Qi, this is my junior apprentice sister Rong He and my junior apprentice brother Xiong Xingteng. I''m truly sorry ah, my junior apprentice sister doesn''t know the rules," Pang Qi walked over and said apologetically. The things he experienced far exceeded Rong He, he could naturally tell that Mo Wuji was not simple. Would a simple cultivator blatantly ignore a Nihility God¡¯s words? Mo Wuji laughed, "It''s okay, she''s just asking a question. Just now, I was also asking a question ah. If asking a question has so many rules, everyone can forget about asking for directions then." Faraway, the young maiden''s face blushed slightly. Even though she guessed that Mo Wuji probably wasn''t talking about her, she could not help but think about her actions. Because she did set some conditions to Mo Wuji''s question. After responding to Pang, Mo Wuji turned and answered Rong He, "If you want to enter the Lost Swamp, then I can only tell you four words: 10 enter, 0 survive. If you want to carry on living, then you better not go in." Mo Wuji did not say things blindly; if he did not have the Scholar''s Heart and the reverse circulation technique, he would have similarly died within the Lost Swamp. If he only had just one of the two, it would also not be enough. The whirlpool suction power in the Lost Swamp was far too terrifying. An average cultivator could struggle to climb to the surface of the swamp, but if he wasn''t able to extricate himself, he would be sucked back down. Climbing up one to two times was fine, but what about eight to ten times? What about 100 to 1,000 times? Even if it was a True God Stage expert, he would not have enough energy to keep climbing. With his reverse circulation technique, he could cultivate as he advanced. With the elemental energy produced, he was able to fight against the suction power of the swamp. With his Scholar¡¯s Heart, he could burn away anything tying him down. Mo Wuji was sure that these people in front of him would not have the reverse circulation technique because this was something he had just created. Furthermore, his reverse circulation technique relied on his meridians and could not be used for spirit channels, no one had tried it out before. As for the Scholar''s Heart, he almost gave up his life, and with great luck, he finally managed to obtain it. He was also sure that these three also wouldn''t have that. "But big brother, you¡­" Rong He¡¯s tone was filled with desolation. Mo Wuji added, "Because my luck was good, I managed to extricate myself in the first try. That''s how I survived." Extricating himself on the first try, even Rong He didn''t believe it, much less Pang Qi and Xiong Xingteng. If Mo Wuji really gotten out the moment he was sucked in, then there wouldn''t have that loud roar just now. Mo Wuji was also sure that these people knew that he was lying, but it didn''t matter. Their relationships were not deep, they were merely asking for directions. He just needed to be honest with the directions itself. The other things didn''t really matter. At this moment, that young maiden also walked by and asked, "Why are the group of you going into the Lost Swamp. It''s really a case of "10 enter, 0 survive" ah." The reason why she came over was because she felt that if Pang Qi and co. could make it to this place, they were definitely not simple as well. Pang Qi heard Mo Wuji''s words and his heart was filled with disappointment. From Mo Wuji''s tone, he could tell that Mo Wuji wasn''t blindly speaking. Now that the young maiden had questioned him, he sighed and said, "Senior does not know this but we are being pursued. We were prepared to go through the Lost Swamp and head towards the Lost Continent " Since things had already gotten to this stage, there was nothing much left to hide. Mo Wuji had undergone the experience of being pursued umpteenth times, he felt a little sympathetic towards Pang Qi and co. However, he had yet to reach Zhen Mo Continent but he had already offended the Star King Mountain''s Xia Clan. His own fate was hard to determine, so he wasn''t in a position to help Pang Qi and co. At the same time, he got to know that Pang Qi, Rong He and the lean and vigorous Xiong Xingteng was from one group. That young maiden and the middle-aged man, and another girl were another. The young maiden looked at the desolation in the three¡¯s eyes and suddenly said, "I''m from the Chu Clan. If you are willing, you can join the Chu Clan. My Chu Clan might not be some great family clan but we definitely wouldn''t lose against some random bandits." "Young mistress¡­" After hearing the young maiden extend Pang Qi and co. an invitation to the Chu Clan, that middle-aged man was instantly anxious and hurriedly called out. [1] I keep imagining this young maiden planning for weeks on how to recruit people through this method only to fail like that LOL Chapter 282: Left And Right Is Death Chapter 282: Left And Right Is Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations That young maiden waved her hand and stopped the middle-aged man, she looked at Mo Wuji then turned and spoke warmly to Pang Qi and co., "Even though I don''t know how this dao friend managed to survive in the Lost Swamp, I can confirm that not everyone would be as lucky. If the few of you insist on going to the Lost Swamp, I can only wish you good luck. If the few of you wish to join my Chu Clan, while I can''t guarantee what the future will hold, I can assure you that you will no longer be pursued." Pang Qi bowed to the young maiden, "I have to thank senior for your kindness. It would naturally be my greatest honour to be able to join the Chu Clan. It''s just that our enemies are a little powerful, it¡¯s the clan inextricably linked with the Star King Mountain - Ardent Sun City¡¯s Jing Clan¡­" Pang Qi did not finish but the young maiden was already shocked. Pang Qi and co. were merely at the Yuan Dan Stage at the very most. From her perspective, their enemies must not be very impressive. It was because of this that she dared to sound out her magnanimous invitation. Unexpectedly, Pang Qi and co. actually offended the Jing Clan. When the Chu Clan was at its peak, it was comparable to the Jing Clan. Even so, it would not dare to offend the Jing Clan. Now, the Chu Clan has fallen, and was at an even lower position to compare with the Jing Clan. One must know that the Jing Clan Patriarch, Jing Zixin¡¯s blood sister, Jing Xiaoxiao, was married into the Star King Mountain¡¯s Yan Clan, one of the three major clans of the Star King Mountain. They had generations of experts and constantly birthed great geniuses. To clash the Chu Clan and the Yan Clan was akin to throwing an egg against a rock. "Apologies, I really didn''t know that it was the Jing Clan. My Chu Clan really can''t offend it¡­" The young maiden''s red flushed red, her tone slightly awkward. She originally thought that if Pang Qi and co. could make it to this place, they definitely weren''t average cultivators, so she wanted to invite them to the Chu Clan. But now that she heard that their enemy was the Jing Clan, the young maiden immediately knew that it was no longer within her capacity to help them. Pang Qi was very calm, clearly expecting this outcome. It waa Mo Wuji who developed a good impression of this young maiden. She was honest and sincere, when she couldn''t do it, she admitted it. At the very least, she did not cheat them just to become cannon fodder. Pang Qi still expressed his gratitude to the young maiden, then he turned and clasped his fists to Mo Wuji, "Friend, if you''re going to the Zhen Mo Continent, it would be best to take the safest path. Otherwise, you could even meet a Class 7 demonic beast. Many thanks for your warning. I have a route map here. This route avoids some danger zones and could allow you to reach the Fallen Ruins safely in a short amount of time. As long as you reach the Fallen Ruins, it would be the same as reaching the Zhen Mo Continent." With that, Pang Qi retrieved a map and handed it over to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was ecstatic and hurriedly accepted it gratefully, "Many thanks Brother Pang." Pang Qi waved his hand care-freely, "I''ve already recorded down the map. Furthermore, it''s unknown whether I can survive this journey to the Lost Continent. So this map is no longer useful to me." By the side, the young maiden heard Pang Qi''s words and a rosy red spread on her face again. The Chu Clan was severely lacking in talent, she wanted to recruit Mo Wuji to the Chu Clan so she resorted to that little trick. She would not have expected that Mo Wuji didn''t even need to do much, Pang Qi had casually offered the route map over. When compared to him, she really looked incredibly petty. Mo Wuji kept the map and smiled, "You can''t say it like that. If Brother Pang insists on going to the Lost Continent, I would suggest that you do not go through the Lost Swamp because this is unquestionably a death trap. I do have a map which shows a route to the Lost Continent. It also has its own dangers, if you''re not careful, you might even meet a Class 7 demonic beast. I was being chased after by a Class 7 demonic beast, which was why I jumped into the Lost Swamp. Of course, when compared to the Lost Swamp, I feel that at least this route would give you a better chance of survival. However, I still wouldn¡¯t advise Brother Pang to take it. I have another suggestion, which might be able to help Brother Pang shake off the pursuit of the Jing Clan." Hearing that Mo Wuji had been chased by a Class 7 demonic beast and still managed to turn out safe and sound after crossing the Lost Swamp, not only did a sense of awe brew within Pang Qi¡¯s heart, even that young maiden saw Mo Wuji in a higher light. A Class 7 demonic beast, if she was the one who encountered it, she might not be able to guarantee her survival. But this ordinary looking youth in front of her actually managed to jump out from the Class demonic beast¡¯s mouth. At this moment, many people started suspecting whether Mo Wuji had came from the Lost Continent. But Mo Wuji did not have the intention of clarifying it so they would do better not to ask about it. "I wonder what this friend has to say?" Hearing that Mo Wuji had a better suggestion, Pang Qi hurriedly asked. Mo Wuji replied, "I heard that the Zhen Mo Continent has something called the Star Wars Battlefield. Since you¡¯re being pursued, why don¡¯t you head over to the Star Wars Battlefield?" He even thought that Mo Wuji had a good idea. After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, a trace of disappointment flashed across Pang Qi¡¯s eyes as he laughed ruefully, "This friend might not know but a rogue cultivator could not simply enter the Star Wars Battlefield as and when they wanted. If a rogue cultivator wishes to partake in the Star Wars, he must first join the Zhen Mo Cultivator Army. Otherwise, one must be at least in the True Lake Stage. The True Lake Stage to us, is truly too far away. And to join the Cultivator army, ke ke, we would rather take this gamble and head towards the Lost Continent." There was an additional sentence but Pang Qi didn¡¯t articulate out. Even if he went to the Star Wars, could he escape the Jing Clan? In the Star Wars Battlefield, there were countless of Jing Clan members. Mo Wuji went blank, he had come here to head off to the Star Wars, but there were actually so many restrictions? Regarding the Cultivator Army, he definitely wouldn¡¯t join it. True Lake Stage, he might be able to try for that. "There are only these two ways?" Mo Wuji grudgingly asked another question. Pang Qi explained, "There are still other ways, such as the recommendation of a big clan, or a sect, or if you¡¯re an expert on the Earth Board, or you can obtain a Star Wars placing through auctions¡­" Pang Qi listed the various ways in a single breath. Mo Wuji discovered that he only had two ways of participating in the Star Wars. One was to advance into the True Lake Stage, the other was to purchase a placing. "Many thanks Brother Pang. Here¡¯s my map, I¡¯ll leave it with Brother Pang then." Mo Wuji was just about to hand the map over to Pang Qi when he heard that young maiden say, "If the few of you want to go to the Star Wars Battlefields, I do have a few placings." As she was speaking, the young maiden had already retrieved four identification jade tokens for the Star Wars Battlefield. "How many spirit stones?" Mo Wuji asked subconsciously. If he could obtain this identification token, then he wouldn¡¯t need to rush to break into the True Lake Stage. The young maiden laughed gently, "Previously, my words were a little inappropriate and I was overly prudent with my map back to the Zhen Mo Continent. These Star Wars identification tokens can be taken as a form of compensation. Goodbye friends, may we meet again in the future." When she finished speaking, the young maiden stuffed the jade tokens into Mo Wuji¡¯s hands, turning and gesturing to the teen girl and the middle-aged man before she rushed out of the area, soon disappearing within the Lost Sky Ruins. Mo Wuji held the jade token with apprehensions in his heart. What did this mean? He didn¡¯t even know those people. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s disbelief, Pang Qi explained, "These jade tokens might be valuable to us but to those big clans, it doesn¡¯t matter much. That Senior Chu must really admire you so she left behind these jade tokens as a form of goodwill." In simpler terms, these jade tokens weren¡¯t worth mentioning to those huge clans. Leaving a few behind for them was a casual act of goodwill. Mo Wuji also came to understand, it was like when he obtained placings for the Five Elements Desolate Domain. To him, he could casually hand those placings away. But to the rogue cultivators of the Lost Continent, each placing was as valuable as their lives. Regardless, Mo Wuji would remember this kindness. Mo Wuji passed the three other jade tokens and his map to Pang Qi and co., "This one token is enough for me. I will pass the rest to you, may we meet again in the future. Pang Qi accepted the three jade tokens but not the map. Instead, he turned and looked at Rong He and Xiong Xingteng, "Now that we have obtained the qualifications to enter the Star Wars, I have an idea. Since we have a 90% chance of dying before we could even reach the Lost Continent, why don¡¯t we just head to the Star Wars Battlefield? Left and right is death, might as well do something useful." Chapter 283: Half Moon Key Chapter 283: Half Moon Key Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xiong Xingteng immediately said, "I¡¯ve long wanted to take part in the Star Wars, it¡¯s just that I¡¯ve never had the chance. Dying with shame; hiding everywhere we go; this is not what I, Xiong Xingteng, likes to do." Rong He also nodded, "I will listen from senior apprentice brother, I¡¯ll go wherever you go." "Go." Pang Qi acknowledged with a determined tone, then turned to Mo Wuji and said, "This friend, since this is the case, we will say our farewells now. Perhaps in the future, we may meet on the battlefields of the Star Wars." Mo Wuji asked quizzically, "Since the few of you are heading for the Star Wars, then we are heading in the same direction ah." In reality, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even know where the Star Wars Battlefield is. Since the met others going in the same way, he naturally wouldn¡¯t go around asking for directions. "Big brother, we have offended those people from the Jing Clan. If we go in the same direction, we might implicate you," Rong He explained by the side. Mo Wuji chortled, "Ever since I embarked on the Dao, I¡¯ve never worried of being implicated. The people I¡¯ve offended are even more overbearing than the Jing Clan. Of course, if you guys are worried, you can pass me the location of the Star Wars Battlefield and I can make my way there myself." Pang Qi also chuckled, "Since we¡¯re all like that, what¡¯s the worry about getting implicated. Well then, everyone can travel together. Oh right, we have still yet to know how to address this friend." "I¡¯m called Mo Wuji, I¡¯m also a rogue cultivator," Mo Wuji clasped his hands and said. "Brother Mo, you¡¯ve offended people more overbearing than the Jing Clan¡­ Who is it ah?" After a round of re-introduction, Rong He asked by the side. "I¡¯ve heard that it¡¯s from the Star King Mountain, they have "Xia" in their name¡­" As Pang Qi and co. heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, they glanced towards each other, exhaling breaths of cold air. The reason why the Jing Clan was so impressive was because one of their women married into one of the Star King Mountain¡¯s three big clans - the Yan Clan. To think that they would be topped by this Mo Wuji; he directly offended the three big clans¡¯ Xia Clan. Pang Qi laughed wryly, "Brother Mo did indeed offend more impressive people. When compared against Mo Wuji, I feel extremely ashamed. After offending the Jing Clan, I wanted to escape to the Lost Continent. Brother Mo offended the Xia Clan but still wants to head to the Star Wars." "How did Brother Mo offend the Xia Clan?" After chatting for some time, the group became more familiar with one another. Rong He found that she could get along well with Mo Wuji, so she was no longer restrained with her questions. Mo Wuji snickered, "I killed a few Xia Clan lackeys, so I offended the Xia Clan." Hearing that Mo Wuji had only killed some lackeys, Pang Qi and co. did not mind. They even felt that the Xia Clan would not specially find Mo Wuji just because of a few lackeys. For a big clan like the Xia Clan, only a ghost would remember the death of a few lackeys. In their perspective, Mo Wuji killed a few Mortal Realm cultivators at the very most; it only became serious because they were from the Xia Clan. But if only they knew that among these lackeys mentioned by Mo Wuji, the lowest was at True God Stage Level 3, the highest was even higher than the Great Circle of the True God Stage, but a Worldly Immortal King. If they knew this, they would be completely radical. Rong He sighed and said, "That¡¯s still good, just a few lackeys. Brother Qi is being pursued by the Jing Clan because of a woman. Even the Jing Clan Patriarch was alarmed." "Why because of a woman?" Mo Wuji stared curiously at Pang Qi; he could feel that Pang Qi was not a person who would drag his own brothers and sisters into danger just because of a woman. Rong He glanced at Pang Qi, not continuing. Pang Qi lamented, "It¡¯s nothing much to say. I fell in love with the Jing Clan¡¯s Jing Danwu. But her brother, Jing Danwen, believes that I have stolen the Jing Clan¡¯s half moon key and alerted this matter to the Jing Clan. For our own selfish reasons, Jing Danwu actually exchanged the half moon key with me, so she is now locked up by the Jing Clan. Thereafter, the Jing Clan unreasonably wanted to kill me without even listening to my explanations. If not because of my good luck, I might not even have escaped." "Half moon key? What¡¯s that?" Mo Wuji asked casually. Pang Qi retrieved a key the shape of half a moon from his storage bag and passed it to Mo Wuji, "It¡¯s this. Actually, this thing doesn¡¯t even have any use because no one knows what this thing is used for. At the very best, it could be used as a souvenir." Mo Wuji chuckled, "No wonder why the Jing Clan wanted to kill you, this thing might actually be useful to them. You really took the key away, why didn¡¯t you just return it?" Pang Qi smiled bitterly, "There are two of these half moon keys, forming a full moon. The one in my hand is indeed Danwu¡¯s, while the one in Danwu¡¯s hand is mine. We exchanged these things as a lasting reminder of our feelings¡­" "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly stared at Pang Qi and asked, "You say that there are two half moon keys, and this one is the Jing Clan¡¯s? And yours is now with the Jing Clan¡¯s Jing Danwu?" Pang Qi nodded, "That¡¯s right. Because the Jing Clan was so peremptory, not only didn¡¯t they let go of Danwu, they even tortured her with hundreds of methods. They were even more unreasonable with me as they directly sent people to kill me. I can only hate the fact that my cultivation is too low; I can¡¯t save Danwu, and I even implicated Xingteng and Rong He." Mo Wuji flipped and turned the half moon key in his hand examining it. This half moon key looked quaint but it was actually made out of Celestial Sunflower Gold, making it icy cold to the touch." "This is made of some good material," Mo Wuji said solemnly. Pang Qi also commented, "That¡¯s right. My father said that it is made of Celestial Sunflower Gold. I also got some smiths to examine it and they verified that is indeed made of Celestial Sunflower Gold. Celestial Sunflower Gold is extremely valuable, don¡¯t think that this is little, if you add it to a flying magic treasure, its horsepower would soar exponentially." Mo Wuji examined it for quite awhile before continuing, "When did your father pass you this half moon key?" "34 years ago, then I was only 4 years old. I remember the scene clearly: my father hung it over my neck as a birthday present. Thereafter, my mother told me to give this to my dao companion, then pass it on to the descendants of the Pang Clan." Pang Qi said it all in a single breath." Mo Wuji said, "Even though I can¡¯t discern whether Jing Danwu¡¯s feelings for you are genuine or not, I can definitely tell you that this half moon key that you exchanged from her is fake¡­" Pang Qi¡¯s face immediately swelled red as he forcefully suppressed his rage and clasped his fists to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, I know that you¡¯re not a simple man, and you can even scold and barrage me. But Danwu is a simple and innocent girl. Because of this, she truly suffered bitterly, please don¡¯t say such disparaging words." Mo Wuji smiled faintly, as he said casually, "I¡¯m not saying bad things about her. But if it truly is a pair of half moon keys, then the time they were forged such be similar. Even though this half moon key is also made of Celestial Sunflower Gold, but the runes inside do not exceed ten years in age. So I believe, this half moon key should be fake." As he spoke, Mo Wuji had already passed the half moon key over to Pang Qi. He had studied Chu Xingzi¡¯s notes for so many years, the time he spent researching on the Array Dao even exceeded the time he spent cultivation. How could he not tell that this half moon key was newly created? Pang Qi kept the half moon key, his face displaying an unpleasant expression. Even though he didn¡¯t say anything, he was clearly enraged by Mo Wuji¡¯s words. He would not permit any form of blasphemous suspicion of Jing Danwu. Mo Wuji laughed and no longer explained any further. This matter had no relations to him; he had a good impression of Pang Qi and co. so he gave these words of advice. Rong He hurriedly changed the topic, "Brother Mo, have you ever thought of ascending the Earth Board?" "How do I ascend the Earth Board?" Mo Wuji shot off this question casually. "The easiest way is to find an expert on the Earth Board and defeat him. Thereafter, he will obtain his ranking on the Earth Board¡­" Because Rong He¡¯s topic was no longer about the Jing Clan, everyone soon forgot about the previous unhappiness. Along the way, Pang Qi advised against using flying ship treasures to prevent the wrath of flying demonic beasts. So everyone walked throughout the journey, and as they walked, they discussed all kinds of cultivation topics. The atmosphere could be considered affable. One month later, when the group of them were about to exit the Lost Sky Ruins, they suddenly saw a ragged figure rushing by. "It¡¯s from the Chu Clan, the woman who previously gave us the identification tokens," Rong He cried out in surprise. Mo Wuji also recognised the person, it was the young maiden from the Chu Clan. At this moment, her body was covered in blood and her breathing was disordered; she clearly suffered from a heavy injury. Chapter 284: Contending Against The True Lake Alone Chapter 284: Contending Against The True Lake Alone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A beam of light swiftly shot towards the fleeing young maiden. Despair failed the young maiden¡¯s eyes; she was heavily injured and she truly didn¡¯t know how to dodge. Or it could be said, she wanted to dodge but she was unable to do so. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and shot out a beam of sword qi, clashing against the light beam chasing behind the young maiden¡¯s back, dispersing it. Mo Wuji looked at his hand as he admired his Invisible Sword Art. It was truly like the Six Pulse God Sword, undetectable and untraceable. Unfortunately, in this cultivation world, the Invisible Sword sounds very impressive but its power was not comparable to his lightning-type skill. Unless he was able to cause the Invisible Sword Qi to cut through space¡­ The moment he thought about letting the Invisible Sword Qi cut through space, a deep impulse and desire brewed in his heart. He couldn¡¯t wait to go behind closed doors and research on it. "Many thanks for your saving grace¡­" The young maiden had already come close, her voice was hoarse and her body was swaying. Rong He was quick with her hands, she hurriedly supported the young maiden. "The few of you want to go against us?" The black robed man chasing after the young maiden approached them. He did not immediately strike out, his gaze swept across Mo Wuji and he spoke with a sombre tone. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s Invisible Sword which caused him to have some doubts about Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level, he would have long acted. He was a True Lake Stage expert, how could he afraid of a few Yuan Dan cultivators? Mo Wuji did not immediately pass a healing pill to the young maiden, but turned towards Pang Qi and co., "Brother Pang, what are your intentions?" The fella who was chasing over was in the True Lake Elementary Stage, Mo Wuji did not even fear him. The reason why he asked that question was to evaluate the way Pang Qi and co. thought. If Pang Qi felt that they should not interfere with this matter, then he would immediately break up with them. This young maiden intentionally acted with goodwill, giving each of them an identification token for the Star Wars. To Mo Wuji, this was an act of kindness. Whether big or small, all acts of kindness were the same Pang Qi chuckled as he said unhesitatingly, "Since I have already accepted Mistress Chu¡¯s favour, what¡¯s there to fear about a True Lake Stage cultivator? Haven¡¯t I been chased by Nihility Gods before?" The black robed man chasing after the young maiden had an imposing aura. Pang Qi had an experienced hand, he only needed one glance to tell that the other party was in the True Lake Stage. Xiong Xingteng and Pang Qi walked to the front, Rong He supported the young maiden and retreated to the back. Mo Wuji waved his hand, fetching out his Tian Ji Pole, walking straight to the extreme front, "Brother Pang can help me suppress any arrays. True Lake Stage¡­ I want to try my hand at how strong I¡¯ve become." Even though Mo Wuji had killed a True Lake Stage expert, and even Nihility Gods and True Gods, those did not count as his personal power. Now, he was at Yuan Dan Stage Level 12, just a single step away from the True Lake Stage. He wanted to know how far this step really is. Pang Qi saw that Mo Wuji took the forefront alone, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes and he immediately said to Xiong Xingteng, "Xingteng, the two of us will stand by the side. If Brother Mo ever comes to a disadvantage, we will act out simultaneously." "Alright." Xiong Xingteng promptly wielded a giant hammer. His stature was the smallest, but his weapon was the most exaggerated. The True Lake Stage cultivator saw that he did not manage to scare away Mo Wuji and co. so he no longer blurted out any further nonsense, sending two radiant blades towards Mo Wuji. A True Lake Stage Cultivator; the golden core within the cultivator would have shattered, forming a huge lake of elemental energy. No matter how strong the Yuan Dan cultivator was, the golden core¡¯s elemental energy could not compare to the lake¡¯s elemental energy. A Yuan Dan Stage cultivator¡¯s elemental energy erupts from a single point - the golden core. On the other hand, the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s elemental energy floods and surges boundlessly. This True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s two radiant blades did not look much but only Mo Wuji knew that his surrounding space was already the opponent¡¯s elemental energy field. When in the restrains from the elemental energy field, it would be fatal for any Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. Even if the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator¡¯s elemental energy was rich and thick, he would not be able to shake off the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s elemental energy field in a short amount of time. It was because of this, True Lake Stage cultivators can typically kill Yuan Dan Stage cultivators in a matter of seconds. All this sounded like a very simple explanation, but it also showed the gap of a single stage. Unfortunately, the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator was Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was still in Yuan Dan Stage Level 12, but his body did not have any golden core, nor did it have a true lake. It had a violet emanation. The moment the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s elemental energy field came oppressing, Mo Wuji¡¯s violet emanation was instantly stimulated, his 102 meridians simultaneously surged with elemental energy. This was not a strength achievable by Yuan Dan Stage cultivators. "Boom!" The violent elemental energy and the elemental energy field clashed, resulting in a sky-filling explosion. The surrounding rocks and stones were disintegrated into sand, flying everywhere. "Dang!" The Tian Ji Pole struck against the two incoming radiant blades, light beams dissipated in all directions. All this looked simple from the surface; Mo Wuji was simply using his Tian Ji Pole to defend against the radiant blades. But the True Lake Stage cultivator knows what¡¯s up. If Mo Wuji was restrained by his elemental energy field, then to block against his radiant blades would only be a dream. The two were not truly competing between the Tian Ji Pole and radiant blades, but competing with the elemental energy. The elemental energy field had been ripped apart by the power of Mo Wuji¡¯s violet emanation. Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body no longer had any restrains, his Tian Ji Pole moving even faster, sending waves of pole shadows hurling towards the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s head. "You¡¯re also in the True Lake¡­" The True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s heart was filled with disbelief. He never expected Mo Wuji to actually be a True Lake Stage expert. Cultivators¡¯ cultivation had standards. As long as his opponent had a lower standard, he would immediately be able to faintly tell his opponent¡¯s cultivation level. Unfortunately his opponent seemed to have some cultivation-concealing technique, and he was unable to see through his opponent¡¯s cultivation. Previously, this True Lake Stage cultivator could not tell Mo Wuji¡¯s real cultivation level but he could feel that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation should be below the True Lake Stage. But now, Mo Wuji had easily broken his True Lake elemental energy field, and even counter attacked. He knew that his previous judgement was wrong, his opponent should be a True Lake Stage expert. His sabre transformed in a sabre rainbow, striking against Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole, and with a "Boom!" sent waves of quakes into the surroundings. Facing the strong rebound of elemental energy, Mo Wuji involuntarily took a few steps back. "You¡¯re actually not in the True Lake¡­" This True Lake Stage expert did not perform better than Mo Wuji, he even took more steps back. At this moment, his face was filled with shock; if Mo Wuji was in the True Lake Stage, he wouldn¡¯t be so astounded. But Mo Wuji was not in the True Lake Stage. A Yuan Dan Stage cultivator actually fought him to such a degree, this was simply hitherto unheard of. Just now, Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy was strong and magnificent, but it was clearly not the eruption of the True Lake¡¯s elemental energy. I definitely cannot let this person survive. As the True Lake Stage cultivator thought of this, he turned and left. He did not want Mo Wuji to live on, but he did not intend to personally fight against Mo Wuji; he intended to inform his superiors of this matter. Crossing those blows with Mo Wuji, he could tell that he couldn¡¯t kill Mo Wuji. A heaven defying Yuan Dan Stage cultivator had appeared. If this Yuan Dan Stage cultivator were to mature and grow, this Yuan Dan Stage cultivator would definitely be a curse to his organisation. Trying to escape? Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole once again shot out waves of pole shadows, and at the same time, he threw out ten bolts of Lightning Flash. "Boom! Bam! Hong¡­" The ten overbearing lightning bolts struck the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s escape route apart. If he were to continue escaping, he would definitely be maimed by Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash. This True Lake Stage cultivator never expected Mo Wuji to be so devious. Not only was Mo Wuji¡¯s ability comparable to his, Mo Wuji even employed such despicable and calculated measures. This kind of people was the most dangerous. It was already enough that Mo Wuji was a cultivator that could transcend stages. But to add on his cunning schemes, his threat would increase by more than tenfold. The True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s urge to escape became increasingly stronger. To deal with this kind of cunning Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, only a True Lake Advanced Stage, or even a Nihility God could do it. He was only in True Lake Stage Level 2, at the very most, he could only escape with all his limbs attached. Luckily, after this True Lake Stage cultivator knew about Mo Wuji¡¯s slyness, he could guess that his retreat would no longer be simple. He did not continue retreating but turned and immediately swung his sabre. "Boom!" As expected, his sabre had blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole, sending world-shaking tremors. Even though his cultivation was higher than Mo Wuji, and he even defended against Mo Wuji¡¯s schemes twice, this True Lake Stage cultivator became increasingly afraid. He didn¡¯t know when Mo Wuji¡¯s third one would come. He especially hated this kind of incomparably devious fighting style. Why couldn¡¯t they fight uprightly¡­ That¡¯s not right ah. At the very start, they were fighting uprightly, he was the one who initiated to retreat. The True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s heart sunk, he knew that he had lost the opportunity, he definitely shouldn¡¯t have escaped. Even if he wanted to escape, he should have done so after gaining the upper hand. No matter how you scheme, I won¡¯t escape. I will fight with you with my true abilities. This True Lake Stage was set in his decision. His saber formed a huge radiant blade, he was determined to fight against Mo Wuji head-on. He believed that no matter how heaven-defying Mo Wuji was, Mo Wuji would not be able to suppress him. But just as he formed a huge radiant blade of elemental energy, he went blank. The person who had just schemed against him, Mo Wuji had disappeared. No good, this is a concealment technique. It was easy to break a concealment technique, that was an elemental energy field. This True Lake Stage cultivator cried out in regret in his heart. Just now, he should not have casually retreated to escape. Because of his escape, he withdrew his elemental energy field. Otherwise, even if his opponent didn¡¯t fear his elemental energy field, with the presence of an elemental energy field, his opponent wouldn¡¯t be able to use a concealment technique. Before he could fully display his elemental energy, a terrifying aura creeped to his right waist. This True Lake Stage expert heaved a sigh of relief, his opponent had finally appeared. Luckily, his cultivation was higher than his opponent. At the very next moment, he knew that he had relaxed too early. Before that terrifying aura reached his right waist, or in another perspective, just as he was about to dodge the terrifying aura, an intense explosion struck against his dantian. Lightning again¡­ The True Lake Stage expert cursed in his heart. He felt his elemental energy, which was surging strongly, suddenly dispersed. This type of battle was too taxing, he always needed to worry about being schemed against. Just now, the terrifying aura he felt at his right waist was also fake. If he had another opportunity, he would rather fight against a True Lake Advanced Stage cultivator than this despicable Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. At this moment, a steel pole sailed through the air and struck against his skull. Even though his opponent was heavily injured, Mo Wuji would not leave him any chances. "Pui!" Blood flew everywhere. Mo Wuji kept his concealment array disc and his figure appeared. [1] The Six Pulse God Sword is another series of Wuxia moves from Jin Yong¡¯s novels. Chapter 285: Difficult to Guard Against A House Thief Chapter 285: Difficult to Guard Against A House Thief Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After finishing the True Lake Stage cultivator off, Mo Wuji sighed. He would probably not be able to kill the other party if he were to fight him head to head. Naturally, it would be impossible for the other party to kill him too. The fortunate thing was that this fella actually wanted to leave and Mo Wuji caught hold of this opportunity by making use of his concealment array disc to finish him off. "Brother Mo, to think I was actually so worried. So you¡¯re a True Lake Stage senior¡­" The surprised Pang Qi clasped his fist towards Mo Wuji respectfully. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Let¡¯s continue addressing each other as brothers, using terms like ¡®senior¡¯ would make us feel distant. Let¡¯s go visit Lady Chu¡­" The astonishment in the young maiden¡¯s heart could no longer be described using words because even though Pang Qi and the rest believed that Mo Wuji was in the True Lake Stage, she was the only who knew that Mo Wuji was only in the Yuan Dan Stage. She was in the Nihility God Stage and she was confident that she would not misjudge him. The fella Mo Wuji killed was a True Lake Stage Level 2 cultivator. For a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to kill someone half a step into True Lake Stage was already something extremely unbelievable. However, what she witnessed personally was a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator killing a True Lake Stage Level 2 cultivator. Who would actually believe this if this incident was leaked out? Even across the entire Zhen Mo Continent, there wasn¡¯t an expert as unbelievable as him. Back when she saw Mo Wuji at the Lost Swamp, she knew that Mo Wuji was not simple. However, she would never dare to imagine a cultivator like him would become this incredibly strong. That mortal-looking man who was filled with manliness¡­ who spoke with a comfortable level of arrogance. Additionally, he was able to see through the traps in my words which I have yet to say out¡­ My god, just where was he from? Why was I completely unaware of him previously? Logically speaking, a person like him should be in the rankings of either the Mortal Board or the Earth Ranking Board. "Lady Chu, you look like you¡¯re poisoned?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice could be heard as he interrupted her train of thoughts. After the young maiden came to her senses again, she bowed forcefully and said with low spirits, "Yes, I got poisoned after we left the Lost Sky Ruins. By the time I realised I was poisoned, it was already too late...I¡¯m more worried about Zi Han¡­" As this young maiden spoke, the rim of her eyes started to turn red because she had her own pride as a Nihility God Stage cultivator. The reason why she saluted Mo Wuji was not because Mo Wuji saved her but because she was confident that Mo Wuji¡¯s future achievement would definitely surpass her and she would never be able to catch up with him. Mo Wuji revealed a faint smile, "Lady Chu, could you describe the circumstances when you were poisoned? Try to describe in slightly more details." The reason for saying this was because Mo Wuji was extremely curious to know how Lady Chu was poisoned. For a Nihility God Stage expert to be so easily poisoned, then the Nihility God Stage must be very worthless. The young maiden had already calmed herself down because no matter how unbelievable Mo Wuji was, asking a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to save Zi Han was simply asking him to die, "My name is Chu Qianlou and you can address me by my name in the future. Also, I still have no idea how to address my benefactor." Mo Wuji casually replied, "We are all helping each other that''s all. My name is Mo Wuji and you can just address me as Wuji. Don¡¯t call me your benefactor, it feels awkward just listening to it." Chu Qianlou nodded her head, "Just after we left the Lost Sky Ruins, we passed by the Lost Sky Ruins¡¯ wasteland and saw a golden hair spirit fox¡­" Mo Wuji knew about demonic beasts like the golden hair spirit fox. They might not have any attacking capabilities but were very lovely and were extremely good at making their owners happy. Not only this, such a demonic beast was extremely sensitive to land with spiritual energy. In fact, a lot of people replaced spirit finding beasts with them even though they were not as capable to find spiritual items but they were definitely much more adorable. Therefore, female cultivators who saw such beasts would have no ability to resist it. Precisely because of this, the price of a golden hair spirit fox was incredibly high. "Zi Han chased after the golden hair spirit fox the moment she saw it. I thought that given the capabilities of Steward Qiu and myself, we could easily capture this golden hair spirit fox. Who would have thought that before we could do anything, this golden hair spirit fox entered a small hole. This hole stretches to over a few thousand metres and it kept stretching downwards. I initially wanted Zi Han to give it up because it was just not appropriate to delay too much of our time for a spirit fox but Zi Han disagreed¡­" Chu Qianlou took a deep breath before continuing, "I was ready to blast open that place to force the spirit fox out but Steward Qiu said that he could use smoke to fumigate it out as long as he added some Exploding Vanilla within the smoke¡­" Mo Wuji nodded his head because he agreed with this method. Exploding Vanilla could make the demonic beast irritable so by adding it, it would definitely escape out of the hole after a period of time as the fox had no attacking abilities. As Steward Qiu casually grabbed a few dry leaves to start the fire to begin fumigating the golden hair spirit fox, we were all too focused on the entrance of the hole. Moreover, because we were creating our own smoke to fumigate the spirit fox, we didn¡¯t notice when someone lighted up the Falling Elemental Fragrance. In the end, we were all poisoned but I managed to escape in time¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes revealed an odd expression as he stared at Chu Qianlou while asking, "Sister Chu, you were poisoned by the Falling Elemental Fragrance?" Chu Qianlou nodded, "Yes, we were all poisoned by the Falling Elemental Fragrance. The moment you¡¯re poisoned, your whole body would not be able to use any elemental energy, your spiritual will would also become blurry and you would be unable to execute any magic skills. It was only because I realised it early that I managed to escape so far. If I didnt meet you, I would have already¡­" "Ah," Mo Wuji sounded out and said, " Sister Chu, even though I am not an incredible pill refiner, I do know a few things about the various poisons of spiritual herbs. Falling Elemental Fragrance is very famous but if a Nihility God Stage cultivator could be poisoned by a Falling Elemental Fragrance, then this Nihility God Stage cultivator was simply a trash." Chu Qianlou¡¯s face turned slightly red because even though she had been independently supporting the Chu Clan for a period of time with an increasing amount of experience, her experience was still counted for nothing when compared to the many other experts around. Mo Wuji saw Chu Qianlou¡¯s expression and knew that she had misunderstood his words as he hurried to explain, "Sister Chu, I am not talking about you. My point is that the Falling Elemental Fragrance could not actually restrain a true Nihility God Stage expert as the moment the fragrance enters the spirit channels, it will be detected by the Nihility God Stage expert and then forced out immediately." "But back then, the smoke affected me which was why I didn¡¯t notice it. By the time I noticed it, my whole body was already losing its strength," Chu Qianlou sighed. Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, it was because you were not poisoned by the Falling Elemental Fragrance." Mo Wuji was actually a Tier 5 pill refiner and after he was poisoned by other people, he was the most sensitive when it was about poisons. For an average poison, he only need to smell it to know what it was. As for the poisons he could concoct himself, there were about a thousand varieties of them. "Ah¡­" Chu Qianlou looked shockingly at Mo Wuji, " So what¡¯s the poison in me now?" Mo Wuji did not answer Chu Qianlou¡¯s question directly and asked instead, "Sister Chu, is the steward that was with you part of the Chu Clan?" Chu Qianlou replied, "Yes, Qiu He has been in my Chu Clan for almost a decade as he had always been loyal to the Chu Clan. Even after the Chu Clan got into trouble, he stayed and did his best for the Chu Clan. He had helped me a lot in the past few years." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother asking what trouble the Chu Clan was met with, "Sister Chu, do you know the material of the cultivator suit that your steward was wearing?" Chu Qianlou shook her head because she wouldn¡¯t have bothered about the suit that her steward wore. Mo Wuji answered, "The suit that your steward wore was made of Fire-traversing Wood." "And?" Chu Qianlou asked curiously. Even though she didn¡¯t know much about pill dao and spiritual herbs, she knew that cultivators¡¯ suit that was made with Fire-traversing Wood was extremely precious. This suit could not only drive away insects and the other demonic worms, it could also be used to obstruct the evil influence. In a place like the Lost Sky Ruins, this cultivator suit was simply another extra layer of protection. Mo Wuji smiled coldly, "Using only the Fire-traversing Wood to refine the suit would definitely not mean much because there are many cultivators who loved such suits. However, if the suit made of Fire-traversing Wood was met with the smoke from burning the Shady-frost Grass, it would produce a breath that could let a cultivator lose his elemental energy and ability to execute any magic skills for 24 hours. These effects seemed to be the same as the Falling Elemental Fragrance but it was two completely different things in general. After being poisoned by the Falling Elemental Fragrance, one needed to be detoxified or find some methods to force the poison out. However, if it was the breath that was produced from the smoke of the burning Shady-frost Grass and the Fire-traversing Wood, there was no need for any pills and within 24 hours, it will definitely disappear." "Are you saying I am poisoned by that breath¡­" Chu Qianlou¡¯s face turned slightly pale. Mo Wuji sighed, "I cannot confirm because the Shady-frost Grass is something extremely precious and hard to find. I can show you one stalk of it." While speaking, Mo Wuji already took out a dried spiritual herb and on the surface of this herb, there seemed to be a layer of faint white colour which looked just like frost. "It¡¯s really the Shady-frost Grass¡­" Chu Qianlou looked at the spiritual herb in Mo Wuji hand and murmured to herself, "But why did Steward Qiu want to harm me¡­" If what Mo Wuji said was true, then previously it must be Steward Qiu that tried to harm her because she did saw him grabbing a handful of dried grass. Even though she didn¡¯t take a closer look at that grass, if there was really a Shady-frost Grass, it had to be that bunch that he grabbed. "Sister Chu, was the spiritual energy dense in Lost Sky Ruins¡¯ wasteland you talked about?" Mo Wuji asked yet again. This time round, before Chu Qianlou could reply, Pang Qi who was by her side replied Mo Wuji, "The wasteland was extremely vast and located at the periphery of the Lost Sky Ruins. To head to the ruins, one had to go past the wasteland. In truth, the spiritual energy at the wasteland was not dense at all and could even be described as only having a thin layer of spiritual energy there." Now that¡¯s more likely because if the spiritual energy there was dense, how could it be called a wasteland? Mo Wuji said even more convincingly, "The golden hair spirit fox¡¯s favourite place was definitely not the wasteland but places with dense enough spiritual energy. In places like the Lost Sky Ruins¡¯ wasteland, under normal circumstances, it is extremely rare for a golden hair spirit fox to appear just like that." Without further explanation, Chu Qianlou understood what was going on as she sat down soullessly. There were some things in life that people only needed to mention part of it to allow one to fully understand everything. At this moment, how could she not realised that Qiu He was trying to assassinate her? Qiu He was the steward of the Chu Clan for so many years and had always worked his hardest over the years so why would he want to harm her? Chapter 286: I Loved You Way Too Much Chapter 286: I Loved You Way Too Much Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xiong Xingteng and Rong He both took a glance at Pang Qi as Mo Wuji had used facts to prove that his judgement was pretty accurate. However, their Brother Qi looked like he trusted Jing Danwu so much so that he completely ignored Mo Wuji¡¯s previous judgement. The duo saw that Pang Qi had no intentions of mentioning the Jing Clan so both of them could only keep quiet as they sighed in their heart. Chu Qianlou was poisoned hence, immobile which was why Mo Wuji and the rest could only stay put and accompany her. After a day, it was just like Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction as the poison in Chu Qianlou disappeared and she regained her strength. "Sister Chu, since you¡¯ve already recovered, we should bid goodbye now," After noticing that she regained her strength, Mo Wuji initiated to bid goodbye. This was an internal matter of the Chu Clan and Mo Wuji felt that he had already done the necessary by saving Chu Qianlou and waited for her to recover before saying goodbye. Chu Qianlou saluted Mo Wuji once again before saying with a hoarse voice, "Wuji, I know you are an extraordinary person. I plead that you can accompany me back to the Chu Clan to help me get Zi Han out." Mo Wuji revealed an ugly expression momentarily because he had no intentions to get himself involved in such things. Chu Qianlou noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s reluctance and she hurried to continue, "Qiu He¡¯s betrayal must not be so simple. It must be because someone from the clan wanted to snatch the throne and made him do it. I believe that he was still very loyal to the Chu Clan. I am fully aware of the strength of the members of the Chu Clan and I believe I am the strongest one there so there will not be any threat to us. I only need to bring Zi Han away that''s all. I know that you are far more experienced than me and your judgements were definitely far more superior than mine. My invitation for you to accompany me need not require you to fight but¡­" Even though Chu Qianlou couldn¡¯t continue her sentence, Mo Wuji understood her meaning. Mo Wuji knew that she was worried the Chu Clan might have some more tricks up their sleeves to make her fall into their trap once again. Mo Wuji was still speechless because he was aware that in this Lady Chu¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji was just a sly bandit. Who could he blame for being weak? If he had real strength, he wouldn¡¯t kill that True Lake Stage cultivator in that manner. Wouldn¡¯t it be more enjoyable to use his own strength to fight against the opponent? Mo Wuji did believe the point that the Chu Clan had no experts that could threaten her. If there was an expert who could match Chu Qianlou, they wouldn¡¯t have used so much effort just to poison her. Mo Wuji could only laugh when she said that Qiu He was still very loyal to the Chu Clan. This fella, Qiu He could betray Chu Qianlou yet no one in the Chu Clan could stop him so how was he considered loyal? However, Mo Wuji was still unable to figure out the reason why he decided to betray her. "After this incident, no matter what happened, I will follow you to the Star Wars Battlefield. I can find a person to help you make your universal token¡­" Chu Qianlou said sincerely. Mo Wuji asked suspiciously, "Make the universal token? Is this the contribution points token for the Universal Board? Since we¡¯ve already entered the Star Wars Battlefield, wasn¡¯t it already done for us?" "Brother Mo, it is possible to make the universal token but it would be slightly troublesome. Firstly, they would have to investigate your origins then question your cultivation level and even requiring you to take a few tests before you can make one. Take Sister Chu as an example, if she were to follow the standard procedure to make the universal token, it would be written as Zhen Mo XX(place) Chu Clan, Chu Qianlou. For people like us who couldn¡¯t reveal ourselves, we never intended to make the universal token even after entering the battlefield," Pang Qi explained in great details. There were very few people who entered the Star Wars Battlefield without making the universal token because the contribution points for the Universal Board was on the universal token. Without the token, one would not be able to collect contribution points and could only receive extra practice, experience and temporary benefits in this battlefield. Mo Wuji let out a sigh as he recalled about his Rogue Cultivator 2705. How can he be without a universal token? Without a token, how was he supposed to get on the Universal Board? And if he was unable to do so, he would never be able to complete his deal with the fishing elder. He believed that if he were to ignore the fishing elder and pretended to forget about that fella¡¯s instructions, he didn¡¯t need to wait long and his brain would be hooked by the fishing elder¡¯s fishing rod. However, he was unable to say out his origins truthfully because if people of the Star King Mountain knew of his arrival here, his brain could very well end up at the Xia Clan¡¯s turf in the Star King Mountain the very next moment. "Sister Chu, because I have offended someone, I am unable to report my own origin to make the universal token so I have to thank you in advance for troubling you," Mo Wuji cupped his fist and thanked her. From the way he said this, it would mean that he agreed to Chu Qianlou¡¯s intentions and decided to head towards the Chu Clan. Chu Qianlou said apologetically, "I should have immediately help you make the universal token but I really cannot neglect Zi Han¡­" As he saw Mo Wuji looking at himself, Pang Qi said instantaneously, "Brother Mo, since we decided to come to the Star Wars Battlefield together, I would naturally follow you to the Chu Clan." ¡­ Chu Zhou was famous because it was the place where the Chu Clan rose to power. It was rumoured that a long time ago, the Chu Clan even had a Worldly Immortal Stage expert and even more True God experts. However, about a hundred years ago, all the famous True God Stage experts from the Chu Clan had fallen in one of the big war in the Star Wars Battlefield. Afterwhich, the Chu Clan was on a decline. Eight years ago, the Chu Clan¡¯s Patriarch, Chu Lin, was killed outside Chu Zhou. Chu Lin¡¯s only son, Chu Zhiyuan wanted to avenge his father so he left for the Star Wars Battlefield hoping that he could learn something before returning. However, reality was always more cruel than dreams and there were rumours that Chu Zhiyuan died after staying in the Star Wars Battlefield for slightly less than a year. The death of Chu Zhiyuan resulted in no one taking over the helm of the Chu Clan. Fortunately, the widow of the Chu Clan, Chu Qianlou managed to support the declining Chu Clan and after almost a decade of hard work, she barely managed to prevent the leading clan from falling. After Mo Wuji and Co. arrived outside of Chu Zhou, someone immediately recognised Chu Qianlou. After seeing the cultivator who recognised her hurried to rush into the Chu Zhou, Chu Qianlou¡¯s mouth revealed a self deprecating smile. Normally, the cultivator would have hurried over to bow towards her after noticing her because no matter how down and out Chu Zhou was, the Chu Clan was still the leading clan in the region. Furthermore, she, Chu Qianlou, was still the temporary person at the helm of the Chu Clan. Only now that she understood that even though she was carrying the surname ¡®Chu¡¯, and was even the daughter in law of the Chu¡¯s Patriarch, nobody actually treated her like a member of the Chu Clan. After entering Chu Zhou, Mo Wuji shook his head slightly because out of the many cultivation cities that he had visited, the Chu Zhou City one was the most trashy. The energy gathering array in the surrounding didn¡¯t allow the density of the spiritual energy in Chu Zhou to increase significantly. The streets and shops within the city were evidently broken and old too. As he thought of the Heaven¡¯s Gate City which he single-handedly built it up, he could easily destroy this Chu Zhou. As Pang Qi also saw the cultivators running towards the city immediately, he subconsciously took out his magic treasure. Chu Qianlou shook her head, "Now that I am fine, no one dared to do anything. What they wanted was the power of the Chu Clan and so I shall give it to them. Let us head towards the Chu Clan to discuss this matter now." Even though the Chu Zhou City looked extremely dilapidated, the Chu Clan still looked very stylish. The big gate was opened as if they already knew that Chu Qianlou was coming back. Other than the two guards, nobody else came to fetch her. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan the place and he could tell that the Chu Clan¡¯s protecting array was at most an intermediate grade defensive array. This intermediate grade defensive array was set up not too long ago and Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that it was there for no longer than 3 years. Even though this defensive array had traces of some deathtrap circulation array, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t view it highly at all. Chu Qianlou had no hesitation as she was the first person to walk through the big gate of the Chu Clan. The main hall of the Chu Clan was already fully seated with people. Currently, there was an elder seating on the seat of the Chu Clan¡¯s Patriarch. Standing beside the elder was a middle-aged man who Mo Wuji recognised. He was the Steward Qiu who appeared together with Chu Qianlou previously. Chu Qianlou looked at the seat which originally belonged to her and said coldly, "Chu Ji, if you wanted to become Chu Clan¡¯s Patriarch, you could have just said it out. Why did you have to use such despicable means?" From the start till now, she didn¡¯t even look at Steward Qiu once. "Chu Qianlou, you are such a shameless woman. You think that just because you carry the surname ¡®Chu¡¯, you are a member of the Chu Clan? Even though the Chu Clan was in a decline, we are not so desperate that we need a woman to stand on our heads telling us what to do. Get out of here! The Chu Clan do not need you to bring a wild man back here," Before the elder who was sitting down could speak, a man with a sharp mouth and a chin like an ape shouted out furiously. Chu Qianlou was so infuriated that her whole body started to tremble and the next moment, she raised her hand and a light radiance was shot out. The light radiance shot through the middle of the man¡¯s eyebrows as he exploded into a pool of blood. The elder who was sitting down named Chu Ji stood up instantly and pointed furiously at Chu Qianlou, "Chu Qianlou, my Chu Clan won¡¯t care about what you do with whichever man outside. Your surname ¡®Chu¡¯ did not even originate from my Chu Zhou¡¯s Chu Clan yet you dare to kill someone here¡­" As he spoke, Chu Ji banged the table in front of him. Following which, Mo Wuji and co. heard some ¡®Ka Ka¡¯ sounds which resulted in Pang Qi and the rest grabbing their weapons as they looked in all four directions cautiously. This was evidently the sound of a trap array being ignited. After noticing that the Chu Clan¡¯s trap array was ignited, Chu Ji¡¯s face finally showed some calmness as he turned to Steward Qiu as he said, "Steward Qiu, earlier on when Chu Qianlou killed someone in my Chu Clan, why didn¡¯t you attempt to stop it since you¡¯re the only one capable of doing so?" Steward Qiu simply ignored Chu Ji as he walked down and spoke to Chu Qianlou in a gentle voice, "Yesterday when Ge Xin didn¡¯t bring you back, I already guessed that you knew I was the one who did it. Qianlou, I am sorry because I loved you way too much. I was unable to control myself from loving you and I have been struggling internally because of this. I simply couldn¡¯t stop imagining you being by my side¡­" Chu Qianlou took a few steps back and pointed at Steward Qiu as she said astonishingly, "Qiu He, how shameless¡­" Qiu He looked even gentler as he said, " Chu Zhiyuan had no morals or abilities so how did he even deserve to have a wonderful woman like you? Follow me, this Chu Clan was destined to die so why waste time in a place like this?" Chu Qianlou glared shockingly at Qiu He and finally understood why a Nihility God Stage cultivator was willing to stay in the Chu Clan as a steward. This Qiu He must have lusted after her since a long time ago but fortunately, she was not any weaker than Qiu He so he had no opportunity to act against her. Chu Qianlou looked pitifully at the clueless Chu Ji because without a strong person like Qiu He supporting him coupled with the fact that he was an offshoot of the Chu Clan, what rights did he have to continue eyeing the seat of the Chu Clan¡¯s Patriarch? Others thought that Chu Qianlou yearned for this throne and refused to leave but the truth was that Chu Qianlou had never wanted this throne. If possible, she would rather bring Zi Han and leave the Chu Clan immediately. "Where is Zi Han?" Chu Qianlou ignored Qiu He¡¯s words and asked coldly. Chapter 287: He Is The One Chapter 287: He Is The One Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Qiu He saw that Chu Qianlou didn¡¯t bother answering his question, he started to feel irascible and cursed in his heart at Ge Xin that idiot. How was it possible that a True Lake Stage Level 2 cultivator like Ge Xin himself could fail to chase after a woman without elemental energy and actually let her get rescued by a few Yuan Dan Stage cultivators? In fact, he had no idea if Ge Xin was still alive or not. If he had known that this scumbag Ge Xin was so useless, Qiu He would have done the job himself. Qiu He¡¯s eyes seemed to wander off a little as he looked like he was thinking about something. However, in the very next moment, his whole body became a shadow and disappeared from where he was standing. Everyone thought that he was about to ambush Chu Qianlou but at that moment, it was clear to everyone that he had threw himself at the ordinary looking young man standing beside Chu Qianlou. "Boom!" An explosion could be heard and Qiu He took a few steps backwards helplessly as he looked at the faraway Mo Wuji in shock. He simply couldn¡¯t understand how a Nihility God Stage expert like himself could fail to attack a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator? Furthermore, it was an ambush out of nowhere so how did he managed to escape and even release an attack on him? No wonder Ge Xin would fail his task, this fella was most definitely not in the Yuan Dan Stage. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart because he had long identified that the person with the most threat to him in this house was Qiu He. Even though Qiu He only glanced at him once, Mo Wuji¡¯s attention had always been on Qiu He¡¯s body. Initially, he never thought that Qiu He would attack him but after the fella from the Chu Clan mentioned about Mo Wuji and Chu Qianlou getting together, there was an obvious killing intent in Qiu He¡¯s eyes. After Qiu He stood out and expressed his love for Chu Qianlou, Mo Wuji knew that that fella¡¯s killing intent was directed at him. Even though Mo Wuji was aware that there was nothing going on between Chu Qianlou and himself, it wasn¡¯t something a lovestruck man like Qiu He could rationalise. When Qiu He¡¯s eyes wandered off and appeared as if he was thinking about something, Mo Wuji thought that if he wanted to attack someone, he would do the same to let the other party let his guard down. At the thought of this, he simply moved out of the way and concurrently counter-attack using his Lightning Flash before anything else. Since the Chu Clan was already in this poor state, even if Qiu He didn¡¯t ambush him, it wouldn¡¯t matter for him to throw some lightning flash here. When it came to anything that could threaten his own small life, even if his judgement was wrong, Mo Wuji would never feel awkward protecting himself. A Nihility God Stage cultivator would never ambush a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji certainly didn¡¯t believe that Qiu He had such ethics and pride. "Qiu He, how dare you¡­" Chu Qianlou was fuming as she grabbed hold of a long sword and went straight towards Qiu He. Qiu He responded angrily, "Qianlou, I have followed by your side for nearly a decade yet you choose to disregard me and be with this goofball instead¡­" "Despicable¡­" Enraged, Chu Qianlou charged with her sword overflowing with killing intent. She couldn¡¯t believed that a Nihility God Stage cultivator would stoop so low to do a sneak attack on a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. Similarly, Qiu He took out his magic treasure and a few defensive walls started to appear all around him as he tried his best to say in a gentle tone, "Qianlou, after all these years of following you, I know you well and that you don¡¯t usually bother with men whether or not they are ugly or good looking. However, when this goofball walked in today, do you dare to say that you are not impressed by him? This was the first time I saw the admiration in your eyes for a man. Also, after you were poisoned, even though I didn¡¯t chase after you, I knew that you would definitely escape to the Lost Sky Ruins. Deep in your heart, you are hoping to be able to meet this man and indeed, you actually brought him back." After saying all these, Qiu He heaved a sigh of relief, "Qianlou, I am the one who know you the best. I also know that if I don¡¯t bring you away with me today, I would never have that opportunity ever again. You will end up being his woman¡­" "B*stard, shut your trap¡­" Chu Qianlou¡¯s attack was even swifter and her killing intent could even be felt throughout the entire Chu Clan¡¯s hall. She had never thought about what Qiu He said but when she was escaping for her life, she did subconsciously wanted to escape towards the Lost Sky Ruins. Because if she didn¡¯t escape towards the Lost Sky Ruins, where else could she escape to? "Pui!" A stream of blood started pouring out of Qiu He¡¯s chest. Qiu He took about 10 steps back as he didn¡¯t continue fighting against Chu Qianlou but just stared at her and said, "Qianlou, I am leaving now. You are the one and only woman I love and I will definitely come back to find you¡­" "And you, remember that if something is not yours, don''t touch it. Otherwise, I will kill you even at the remotest corners of the earth," Qiu He¡¯s last sentence was directed to Mo Wuji. After finishing what he had to say, his entire body disappeared from the Chu Clan¡¯s hall. He hated himself, why did he had to poison himself too? Why did he had to pretend to save Qianlou, pretend to exchange his life for her and offer to bring her out of Chu Clan so that he could slowly win her heart? He could have just been more resolute and turned the raw rice into cooked rice[1] first to avoid so much effort. His plan to inflict injuries on himself to win the sympathy of Chu Qianlou didn¡¯t work and even his idea of saving and escaping with Chu Qianlou was a failure too. Moreover it all turned out well for the ant-like Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. To him, Chu Qianlou was the prettiest so he naturally believed that others thought she was the prettiest too. The thought of Chu Qianlou going together with another man in the future ignited a raging flame that was burning inside his heart. The pity was that he was too weak to bring Chu Qianlou away forcefully. "I am sorry, it was my mistake earlier on," Chu Qianlou didn¡¯t chase after Qiu He because she knew there was no point in doing so. She was still shocked that Qiu He would actually act against Mo Wuji because if it was not for Mo Wuji¡¯s reaction, she would have been feeling extremely guilty. After a pause, she took the initiative to say, "He would not have the opportunity to do anything to you¡­" Mo Wuji gave a slight smile, "No, he wouldn¡¯t be qualified enough to do anything to me." Mo Wuji was brimming with confidence because as long as he was able to advance to the True Lake Stage, even if this Qiu He were to act against him, Mo Wuji would never go home without a fight. The moment he reached the Nihility God Stage, let¡¯s not talk about Qiu He acting against him because Qiu He better pray hard that he doesn''t ever meet Mo Wuji again. If he wanted to become rank number 1 on the Universal Board, he naturally had to find every possible way to step into the Heaven Realm. The Star Wars Battlefield was the best place for cultivation. Where else was more suitable for fighting and cultivating at the same time? Chu Ji lifted his head and started worrying as he saw the trap array put in place by Qiu He. He knew that Chu Qianlou was slightly stronger than Qiu He so if this trap array could not stop Qiu He from leaving, it would naturally not be able to stop Chu Qianlou. "Bring Zi Han out," Chu Qianlou¡¯s tone turned slightly indifferent as she was wondering why she slogged her life away for the past few years. There was at least one sentence that Qiu He was right about: After staying here so many years, all she got in return was being called a shameless woman. If it wasn¡¯t for her, would the Chu Clan had lasted till today? If it wasn¡¯t for her, would these Chu Clan¡¯s disciples here be living so carefreely today? "Aunt¡­" The moment Zi Han appeared, she fell into Chu Qianlou¡¯s arms. Mo Wuji nodded his head because Yan¡¯Er was about this old when she started to support a family, started to support him. However, even though this Zi Han was in Transcending Mortality Stage, she was like a flower kept in a greenhouse. As he thought about Yan¡¯Er, Mo Wuji started to miss Yan¡¯Er, who was also in the Zhen Mo Continent. However, Yan¡¯Er should have been accepted by a big sect to be their disciple since she had the Mutant Five Elements spiritual roots. Chu Qianlou patted Zi Han lightly to comfort her. "Lady Chu, I still think you should take charge of this Chu Clan. Our cultivation levels are a little too low¡­" Without Qiu He, Chu Ji didn¡¯t feel at ease as he was aware that the Chu Qianlou in front of him could slap him to death with a raise of her hand. Chu Qianlou calmly took out a jade token and passed it to Chu Ji, "This is the Chu Clan¡¯s Patriarch token, from today onwards, I, Chu Qianlou, am no longer related to the Chu Clan." Finishing, she took out yet another piece of red paper to tear it into pieces before laughing, "I¡¯ve now torn the only thing Chu Clan gave me." Everyone could see very clearly that it was a piece of marriage certificate. "Let¡¯s go," After tearing the marriage certificate, Chu Qianlou felt so much more relaxed as she led the way out of the Chu Clan¡¯s big gate. ¡­ "Sister Chu, thank you," After leaving Chu Zhou, Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude towards Chu Qianlou. Chu Qianlou looked inquisitively at Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I should be the one thanking you." Mo Wuji laughed without saying anything because he knew that even though Chu Qianlou asked him to help the Chu Clan, the truth was that there was nobody in the Chu Clan who could threaten her. Therefore, she simply asked him along so she could have an excuse to gift him something in the form of helping him make his universal token. Chu Qianlou was very quick in understanding Mo Wuji¡¯s meaning but she didn¡¯t explain because it was almost impossible to explain such things. She had always thought that there was a hidden expert who was slightly stronger than herself in the Chu Clan because all these years, she always felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her whenever she entered the Chu Clan. Therefore, she often went out to take care of Chu Clan¡¯s shops most of the time. She would even personally visit places like the Lost Sky Ruins to look for spiritual herbs. She felt that as long as she didn¡¯t leave the Chu Clan and did her best for the Chu Clan, the hidden expert would not appear in front of her. However, now that she had already left the Chu Clan and the hidden expert she suspected had not appear, she felt that maybe she was over thinking a little too much. Other than trying to find some comfort in her heart, the other reason why she called upon Mo Wuji was because she was very impressed by Mo Wuji¡¯s conduct of battle. It was simply legendary for a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji to kill a True Lake Stage Level 2 expert. Even if she were to face an opponent equally as strong as her, as long as she had Mo Wuji by her side to guide her and help her out, she would feel slightly less fearful. Perhaps it was because of the fact that she had been extremely independent over the years and she even had to bring a whole clan out to fight for their survival at this place. Therefore, after receiving Mo Wuji¡¯s help, she seemed to have become more reliant. "We shall first fly to Nine Mo City, from here to¡­" "Hold on¡­" Mo Wuji raised his hand to stop Chu Qianlou as she prepared to ignite the flying ship. "What¡¯s the issue?" It wasn¡¯t only Chu Qianlou but Pang Qi and the rest stared curiously at Mo Wuji too as they didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s dignified expression. Mo Wuji shouted calmly in the direction of the vast wasteland in front of him, "Since you¡¯re here, come on out." A shadow appeared in front of everyone and even though it was in the day, Pang Qi and Co. could feel coldness in their body as if they had been infiltrated by a breath of cold air. "He is the one¡­" Chu Qianlou suddenly shouted with a trembling voice. [1]: Turning raw rice into cooked rice is a chinese idiom that meant doing something beforehand so it cannot be undone. In this context, he meant that he should have done something to Chu Qianlou directly so that she would have no other choice but to leave with him instead of going through the the troubles he went through. Chapter 288: Rogue Cultivator 2705’s Dao Companion Chapter 288: Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s Dao Companion Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s Dao Companion The shadow¡¯s entire body was wrapped by a black robe such that even the head was not revealed. Even though Chu Qianlou had never seen this black robed shadow before, the moment he appeared, she could feel that this was the pair of eyes that had been staring at her all this while. She couldn¡¯t help but felt relieved that she called Mo Wuji over with her otherwise, she would have definitely stepped over and might even land on the body of the black robed shadow. As to why Mo Wuji, being on a lower cultivation level than herself, was able to see through him, her guess was that Mo Wuji was more specialised than her in the array dao. "Not bad, for a small Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to be able to see through my array, you are indeed quite capable which is why I shall let you off today. You can go now," The black shadow¡¯s voice was so horrifying that it sounded like two stiff and sharp objects grinding against each other. The black shadow would be the scariest when he hid behind the back of someone. Presently, Chu Qianlou calmed herself down as she finally saw the eyes behind her back, "Your Excellency, are you intending to say that everyone else can leave except for me?" The black shadow¡¯s horrifying voice could be heard again, "That¡¯s right. You are a member of the Chu Clan when you¡¯re alive, you will be a ghost of the Chu Clan when you¡¯re dead. You will remain in the Chu Clan for your entire life." Mo Wuji revealed a disdainful smile, "But I never intended to let you go because not everyone can obstruct my path and get away with it. Sister Chu, he¡¯s yours to deal with. Even though he was once in the True God Stage, he is currently not even as strong as you so fret not." Mo Wuji had seen many True God Stage experts before so Mo Wuji could sense that this black shadow was once in the True God Stage. However, the spiritual aura around this black shadow was rotting disorderly so much so that it was evident that his strength had depleted. He couldn¡¯t believe his ears when the black shadow said that this was an array. Haha, could this be considered as an array too? "But his trap array¡­" Chu Qianlou said worryingly. She was previously not afraid of the Chu Clan¡¯s trap array because she knew very clearly how the Chu Clan¡¯s one work. As for this trap array, she had zero clue about it. Mo Wuji laughed, "He wanted me to leave because he was afraid of me. Just attack as you wish, don¡¯t worry." Mo Wuji was not speaking blindly because there were two trap arrays and one illusion array. Out of the two trap arrays, there was an array in the air. The moment they took out the flying ship, it would definitely put them in a passive situation. There was another garrote array in which the moment they made their move, this trap array would trap them and be able to control them. As for the illusion array, it would make cultivators lose track of time. Of course, the quality of this trap array was not worthy of a mention in front of Mo Wuji. For people who had no knowledge of array dao, even a True God Stage cultivator would be stuck in this trap and illusion array for a long period of time. Even if the time stuck inside was short, this black shadow was able to make use of the short period of time to severely injure and even kill those trapped in his arrays. The black shadow wanted Mo Wuji to leave because Mo Wuji stopped at the periphery of his trap array. This proved that Mo Wuji understood his arrays and he was therefore, slightly fearful of Mo Wuji. "Great!" Chu Qianlou heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and charged over after drawing out her long sword without any hesitation. Concurrently when Chu Qianlou charged out to kill the black shadow, Mo Wuji threw out tens of array flags and then entering the trap array personally as he continuously shot out the array flags. His array dao¡¯s legacy was much stronger than this black shadow and because of his research on the incident that Chu Xingzi was trapped, he was slightly more knowledgeable in breaking arrays as well as modifying them. He was confident that while Chu Qianlou was keeping the other party occupied, he could make use of the array flags to modify the trap array. The moment he managed to do so, this black shadow would no longer be able to put up a fight. Even though Chu Qianlou was a woman, her sword arts were extremely sharp. Streams of sword radiance exploded and within seconds, she was able to engage the black robed shadow. The first thing the black shadow did wasn¡¯t to take out his magic treasure to deal with Chu Qianlou but to take out a few array flags just like Mo Wuji. He knew that to bring Chu Qianlou away, he had to make use of the deathtrap array because he was well aware of Chu Qianlou¡¯s strength. However, when he landed his array flags on Mo Wuji¡¯s already modified array base, it was like throwing his flags into the ocean. He knew that his cultivation level was far superior over Mo Wuji¡¯s but his array dao was so much weaker than Mo Wuji¡¯s. Before their array dao could compete with each other, he had already landed on the losing end. If he didn¡¯t leave immediately, he would definitely not be able to leave when Mo Wuji¡¯s trap array was complete. Some parts of the black shadow¡¯s clothes were ripped off by Chu Qianlou¡¯s sword radiance as they fell onto the ground. At the same time, the black shadow had instantly disappeared without a trace and he left behind a stinky aura. Mo Wuji stopped the array flags in his hand as he sighed out loud in his heart. If only Chu Qianlou was slightly stronger to be able to hold him for slightly longer, he was confident that he could trap him here. By not killing him here, it equated to him having one more hidden expert trying to kill him. As he kept his array flags, Mo Wuji said, "We can leave now." No matter how many strong enemies he had, it would be fine as long as he was able to get stronger. The root of the problem would still be that he was too weak. Chu Qianlou silently kept her long sword as her emotions were still not stable. "Sister Chu, that person looked like he was from the Chu Clan. Do you know him?" Rong He asked. Chu Qianlou remained silent for a while before replying, "Perhaps, but I hope it wasn¡¯t him." She was indeed very shocked because this black shadow was exactly like Chu Lin. Chu Lin was her grandfather but didn¡¯t he die a long time ago? To her, this seemed way too strange. After realising how everyone was looking at her, Chu Qianlou perked herself up and said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, if I hadn¡¯t invited you to come with me, I would probably be brought back to the Chu Clan yet again and might never be able to live a new life." Mo Wuji noticed that Chu Qianlou wasn¡¯t feeling happy so he chuckled and said, "Let¡¯s not talk about all these and discuss on how we are going to enter the Star Wars Battlefield." Chu Qianlou forced herself to get her act together, "We will first head to the Nine Mo City and we can use the transfer array or a flying ship from there to head towards the closest place to the Star Wars Battlefield, Piercing Wing City." ¡­ Nine Mo City, was the largest cultivation city Mo Wuji had ever seen. Just by standing outside the city, Mo Wuji could feel the majestic and long history of this cultivation city. This city was evidently very old yet it didn¡¯t look dilapidated at all. "The Nine Mo City was indeed vast and bustling," Pang Qi couldn¡¯t help but compliment it. A cultivator standing beside Pang Qi smiled and commented when he heard Pang Qi, "This is actually nothing much because my friend, if you¡¯ve been to the Piercing Wind City, you will know what a true vast and majestic city looks like. "My friend here had been to the Piercing Wing City before?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask because they wanted to go towards the Piercing Wind City too. The cultivator nodded his head, "Yes, I have been there once. To go to the Star Wars Battlefield, one has to pass by the Piercing Wind City. Only after visiting the Piercing Wing City will you feel a type of¡­" He shook his head before finishing his sentence, "I am unable to describe to you specifically. Perhaps you will understand what I meant if you go there personally." As he finished, the cultivator sped up and entered the depths of the Nine Mo City. Following behind Chu Qianlou, the group of them entered the Nine Mo City too. Outside the city, everyone could feel the majesty and vastness of the city but the moment they entered the city, they realised that what they saw was only a small part of the entire city. As soon as they entered, they saw that there were three large monuments showing arrays erected on the plaza which was as vast as the ocean. Among the crowd of cultivators, it was very common to see a Nihility God Stage cultivator. These are the Heaven, Earth and Mortal boards," Chu Qinglou explained as she noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes on the huge monuments curiously. Mo Wuji nodded, "I¡¯ve heard of that before and I also know that those who could climb this ranking boards are all experts of the Zhen Mo Continent." "That may not be necessary because previously ranked number one on the Mortal board was not someone from the Zhen Mo Continent. I¡¯ve heard that he came from the Lost Continent with a very weird name: Rogue Cultivator 2705," Chu Qianlou explained very clearly. Rogue Cultivator 2705? Mo Wuji found it incredibly hilarious because even though he had never visited the Zhen Mo Continent, he was actually ranked number 1 on the Mortal Board here. "I guess that Rogue Cultivator 2705 must have risen up to number one after defeating Gu Shaoyin?" Mo Wuji casually asked because he heard from Gu Shaoyin before that he was ranked number one in the Mortal Ranking Board. Chu Qianlou grunted, "Yes, but if this Rogue Cultivator 2705 were to visit the Zhen Mo Continent, he would have a tragic ending." "Why?" Mo Wuji asked. Chu Qianlou looked around before whispering, "I¡¯ve heard that the Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s dao companion had arrived in Zhen Mo Continent and in the end, the young hall master of the Star King Mountain, Xia Mu, was even attracted to her. This woman was also vicious enough to reject going to the Star King Mountain and was even harassed by Xia Mu before directly entering Star Wars Battlefield. "Cen Shuyin?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows and said. He knew that Xia Mu liked Cen Shuyin, but Cen Shuyin was never his dao companion and even though other people don''t¡¯ know, couldn¡¯t Cen Shuyin come out and explain herself? "Yes, her name is Cen Shuyin. Even though she had entered the Star Wars Battlefield, Xia Mu never ceased to give up and even chased after her into the Star Wars Battlefield. She had no relatives or close friends so while she was escaping, she actually managed to enter one of the Nine Extreme Realms, Thorny Wind Gate." Chapter 289: Piercing Wind’s Cold Water Chapter 289: Piercing Wind¡¯s Cold Water Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent surged in his heart as he thought, Xia Mu, you are simply seeking death. Even though Cen Shuyin was not his dao companion, Cen Shuyin saved his life once. At the same time, Mo Wuji had always admired her because even though she was the number one beauty in the Lost Continent, she deserved what she had achieved because of her own hard work. Previously if Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t stop the few streams of killing radiance from Ceng Houyi, people would have been visiting his grave now. He couldn¡¯t forget the apologetic eyes of Cen Shuyin when she looked at him before her death. After Cen Shuyin died in his arms, the intense rage and killing intent in his heart surged to the maximum. Right, Cen Shuyin was revived again by the white moustached fishing elder but just how many of these elders were there in this world? To easily kill an Immortal expert like he did, there might not even be such an expert in the Lost Continent. It was even appropriate to say that Cen Shuyin¡¯s life was picked up by the white moustached fishing elder because of her fortune to have met him. Therefore, no matter what happened, Cen Shuyin did exchange her life for him back then. Mo Wuji had his own life creed to live by which was to repay any gratitude that others showed him. Cen Shuyin had saved his life once, so even if it was the Extreme Realm, he had to go and visit it. Even though he had no idea why Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t explain that he was not her dao companion, he would not give up the idea of repaying her gratitude just because of this. If he was killed by Cen Houyi back then, everything that happened afterwards would only be nothing more than an illusion. Therefore, gratitude was still gratitude no matter what. Moreover, he had interacted with Cen Shuyin before and he knew that Cen Shuyin was not the type to use him as a shield to protect herself. Even if he were to go over and was unable to save Cen Shuyin, as long as he was alive, he would not have any guilty conscience over this incident. The pity was that he was still not able to kill Xia Mu because if he could, he would first kill Xia Mu before heading towards the Star Wars Battlefield. "Wuji, are you okay?" Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s stunned expression, Chu Qianlou hurried to ask. Mo Wuji clenched his fist and said, "This Xia Mu was simply too shameless, if I could, I would definitely kill¡­" A nice fragrant hand was placed on Mo Wuji¡¯s lips, stopping Mo Wuji from saying what he was about to say, "Wuji, do you not want to continue living? How could you say you want to kill the Star King Mountain¡¯s Xia Mu in a place like this? If other people heard it, we would have to die the next moment." Mo Wuji had already calmed himself down and shifted Chu Qianlou¡¯s hand away, "My apologies, I was too agitated." Chu Qianlou¡¯s face turned red and even though nobody said anything, her action of putting her hand on Mo Wuji¡¯s lips was evidently a little rash. "Forget it, let¡¯s board the flying ship then," Pang Qi saw Chu Qianlou¡¯s awkwardness so he said this. Mo Wuji asked suspiciously, "Why are we taking the flying ship, don¡¯t they have a transfer array?" Chu Qianlou explained, "Only personnel with certain status would be able to use the transfer array. My father was pretty reputable here in the past so I will go and inquire to see if we could use the transfer array. If there was no other way, we will then take the flying ship." The Nine Mo City¡¯s Transfer Tower had more than a hundred levels and as from Chu Qianlou¡¯s words, transferring to the Piercing Wind City would take up about 70 levels. It¡¯s main purpose was for emergency so that it could transfer more cultivators over to the Piercing Wind City and then into the Star Wars Battlefield. After reaching the Transfer Tower, Chu Qianlou went inside to settle the administration to proceed with the transfer. Mo Wuji noticed that many cultivators who entered, left the tower feeling dejected and he knew that it was indeed not easy to use the transfer array. He had no idea what status Chu Qianlou¡¯s father held but after entering the tower for a short while, she came out with six transfer tokens. Chu Qianlou distributed the tokens to each of them before saying, "Wuji, Pang Qi the two of you better start thinking of a name because after we reached the Star Wars Battlefield, every one of us needs to make the universal token. Even if we were not able to leave our name on the Universal Board, there were still very significant benefits for the contribution points. We don¡¯t have to worry about what to put for the origins because I have an idea." "I shall be called Pang Buwang," Pang Qi immediately sounded out and even Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind this name, which was to not forget Jing Clan¡¯s Jing Danwu. [1] Rong He heard Pang Qi¡¯s name and sighed as she said, "I shall be called He Yu then." "Mine will be Teng Xing," Xiong Xingteng simply added in. After spending such a long time together, Mo Wuji could tell that Rong He was interested in Pang Qi. In fact, Rong He had a secret crush on Pang Qi. However, this girl was very tolerant because even though there was only a Jing Danwu in Pang Qi¡¯s heart, she never complained about anything or said a single bad thing about Jing Danwu. Furthermore, she was even chased after by the Jing Clan because of Pang Qi. Even when Pang Qi suspected Jing Danwu and was extremely furious, Rong He even took the initiative to change the topic so as to mediate the atmosphere. The pity was that there was only that girl with the surname ¡®Jing¡¯ in Pang Qi¡¯s heart and he had no idea that the Rong He by his side had feelings for him. Or rather, even if he knew, he pretended not to know. "Wuji, how about you? Are you going to use the name now?" Chu Qianlou took the iniative to ask when she saw how Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say out a different name for himself. Mo Wuji really wanted to use Rogue Cultivator 2705 again but he knew that the moment he used this name again, the Xia Clan members would start combing the entire Star Wars Battlefield to search for him and then finish him off. "I shall just be called Mo Wuji then," Mo Wuji said calmly. He didn¡¯t need to worry about his identity being revealed because only the people in the Lost Continent knew the fact that Mo Wuji was actually Rogue Cultivator 2705. No one in the Zhen Mo Continent knew of this fact and even those who had made a trip to the Lost Continent were all killed by the white moustached fishing elder. Perhaps someone would visit the Lost Continent and bring back the truth that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705 in the future but Mo Wuji believed that by the time that happened, he would have been strong enough to protect himself. He wanted to let the Star King Mountain¡¯s Xia Clan know that one day, he would use his true identity as Mo Wuji to kill that Xia Mu. With the transfer tokens, the six of them entered the transfer array towards the Piercing Wind City without any hesitation. The transfer distance between the Nine Mo City and the Piercing Wind City was much further than the transfer distance between his Tian Ji Sect and Heaven Seeking Palace. However, the quality of this space transfer array was evidently much higher than the one in the Lost Continent. Even though the distance was much further, Mo Wuji and Co. only felt slightly dizzy and the next moment, they had arrived at the Piercing Wind City. As compared to when he transferred from Tian Ji Sect to the Heaven Seeking Palace, he was dizzy for almost half a day before reaching arriving at his destination. When his array dao further improved to a certain level coupled with some basic interaction with space, he had to go back to Tian Ji Sect to reinvent the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s transfer array. The Piercing Wind City¡¯s transfer array was different from the Nine Mo City¡¯s one because the Nine Mo City¡¯s transfer array was built on a Transfer Tower. The Piercing Wind¡¯s transfer array was built on an empty plaza and there were only a few buildings around the transfer array. The plaza was extremely open and empty with not a lot of random people walking around. Even if there were a few group of people, they were all rushing in the specific direction towards the transfer array or walking out of the transfer array. However, there was a whole crowd of people walking at the periphery of the plaza which clearly showed the strict regulations put in place here to prevent people from idling too long on the transfer array¡¯s plaza. Standing on the empty plaza, Mo Wuji very quickly understood the difference between the Nine Mo City and here. In the Nine Mo City, he could feel a heavy, olden days aura. The Nine Mo City had a majestic feeling and it was just like what the cultivator said: there was a completely different feeling here. Even though Mo Wuji had neither seen the outside of the city nor walked one round in the city, he could sense the solemness of this city. It was indeed very hard to describe a feeling like this but Mo Wuji did feel it. This was a type of periphery constraint and restlessness, a feeling where they could feel blood surging around. Piercing Wind City, was indeed the same feeling as "Piercing wind,chilling river of Yi.The hero has to leave,and he will never return!" [2] Despite not going to the Star Wars Battlefield before, Mo Wuji knew how dangerous it was out there. Even for himself, after entering the battlefield from here, what were the chances he could make it back alive? "The Universal Board is not here?" Mo Wuji scanned through the entire plaza but didn¡¯t see any Universal Board around. Chu Qianlou answered, "It is not here, the Universal Board is the number one board in the entire Zhen Mo Continent so it was erected at the entrance of the Universal Hall just outside the Star Wars Battlefield." "So where do we make the universal token?" Mo Wuji asked yet again. "It is also at the Universal Hall. The Piercing Wind City is only a city that everyone had to pass by before entering the Star Wars Battlefield. We can enter the Universal Hall from here to help you make the universal token," Chu Qianlou seemed to have came here before, hence, was very confident when answering the question. "Sister Chu, have you been here before?" Rong He asked. Chu Qianlou nodded and looked even more dejected, "Back when I was married into the Chu Clan, during the time Chu Zhiyuan had fallen on the Star Wars Battlefield, I had been here once." Rong He didn¡¯t ask any further as it was evident that Chu Qianlou didn¡¯t wish to talk about it anymore. Instead, she looked suspiciously at Zi Han, who was standing beside Chu Qianlou. This girl left a deep impression on her as a very coquettish girl and the whole time they had travelled together, she had not heard a single word from Zi Han at all. "Even though there are many good things here in the Piercing Wind City, I felt that this place was a little too constraining and that we should directly head towards the transfer array to the Star Wars Battlefield instead of idling or having fun here," Chu Qianlou pointed at a continuous stream of crowd moving in and out of the transfer array at a place not very distant from them. "Do we need any qualifications to be able to transfer there?" Pang Qi inquired. "No need, as long as you pass me the qualification token to enter the Star Wars Battlefield, you can enter the transfer array without any fee," Chu Qianlou said as she walked over first. A familiar body shape flashed past Mo Wuji and entered the transfer array towards the Star Wars Battlefield, Ren Tianxing? Even though he was a distance away, Mo Wuji could recognise that the person was Ren Tianxing. Mo Wuji was surprised and hurried to rush over. It was truly a happy event to be able to meet a friend here in the Zhen Mo Continent. "Bang!" Just at the moment he was about to enter the entrance of the transfer array, a formidable force charged towards him. Even though he was moving fast in a straight line, Mo Wuji also managed to turn his body and fall to the side. It was only then that he could clearly see the fella he bumped into. He was almost 2 metres tall with a frightening and bloody aura around him. "Are you blind? How dare you bump into your ancestor¡¯s body?" Before Mo Wuji could say anything, this fella was already pointing and cursing at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect this fella to be this shameless because even though he was moving very quickly, he definitely didn¡¯t run into him on purpose. In fact, that fella shoved him on purpose when he was trying to enter the transfer array. [1]: Pang Buwang: The Buwang that he chose in chinese for his nickname meant ¡®never forget¡¯ in english. Hence, he was trying to imply he will never forget about Jing Danwu. [2]: "Piercing wind,chilling river of Yi.The hero has to leave,and he will never return!" : This was the direct translation and meaning of the lyrics of a poem written by an ancient poet representing a depressed person singing about the burdens of a true warrior who will not return until he completed the task he was given. This is the poem which I found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aurWFfAX2Xk&hl=en-GB&gl=SG Chapter 290: Porcelain Bumper Chapter 290: Porcelain Bumper Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Do not fall for it, he did it on purpose," Chu Qianlou sounded out. The big bully who wanted to teach Mo Wuji a lesson took a few steps back when he saw Chu Qianlou walking over. He was not afraid of Chu Qianlou but he realised that she was in the Nihility God Stage and if a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator like himself were to charge forward, it would simply mean death for him "On purpose?" Mo Wuji looked quizzically at Chu Qianlou because he couldn¡¯t believe that a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator would still commit such childish acts. Chu Qianlou said in a low voice, "These people often look for new faces here and when they find one, they will rush forward to find all sorts of reasons to provoke and pick a fight. Aftrerwhich, they would scam the victim of their spirit stones or other items and people like these don¡¯t usually work alone but in a gang. Mo Wuji was speechless as he couldn¡¯t believe he would meet a porcelain bumper here. [1] "Apologise or you can forget about going over," The big bully said with a killer voice. The crowd of cultivators around them saw the acts of the big bully but didn¡¯t find it strange as they continued to walk their own path. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows as he looked at Chu Qianlou, "Sister Chu, are there no regulations here? It is allowed for people to hit and kill each other here?" Chu Qianlou sighed, "Killing is not allowed but fighting has always been very common here. Do you know why the person who knocked into you was a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator? This was because there was a rule to prevent people of a higher cultivation level to fight someone of a lower level. Cultivators of the same level are allowed to fight because of any odd reason. I am confident that if you don¡¯t hand over a certain amount of compensation to him, he will make his move against you very soon. They were constantly on the look-out for new faces here and basically every new face that appeared here would have been scammed by them before. He wanted you to apologise but the truth was that he wanted you to give him some items as compensation." "For cultivators in the same realm, it will be fine as long as the other party is not dead?" Mo Wuji laughed out loud as he understood a system like this very well. The cultivation world needed strong experts, therefore for two fellas in the same realm, the stronger one would naturally be more welcomed into the Star Wars Battlefield. Chu Qianlou immediately understood Mo Wuji¡¯s words and hurried to add on, "You must not do anything to them because it may seem like this on the surface but the moment you offend these guys, they will even send people after you in the Star Wars Battlefield¡­ Previously, there was a True Lake Stage cultivator from the Lost Continent who didn¡¯t understand the rules here and was adamant about reasoning so he was extremely unwilling to compensate. Afterwhich, he was robbed off his spiritual roots and was rumoured to have committed suicide outside the Piercing Wind City." The killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes flashed by and he said to Chu Qianlou and co. in a calm manner, "You all get on the transfer array first, I will be there in a while." Chu Qianlou, Pang Qi and the rest sighed in cohesion because they all knew that no matter what they said, they would not be able to advise Mo Wuji against his own will. They were all slightly aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s character and they knew that it would be impossible for him to hand over spirit stones as compensation peacefully after being threatened like this. Seeing that Chu Qianlou and the rest had left Mo Wuji¡¯s side, the big bully walked over and said in a cold tone, "Since you didn¡¯t mean it, take out 100,000 spirit stones and I will let you off." People in their line knew very clearly that every cultivator heading towards the Star Wars Battlefield for the first time would prepare large amount of pills and spirit stones in their rings. It could be said that they have never stepped into space before. Given their accurate judgement, it was almost impossible for them to commit such acts on a disciple of a big sect. Mo Wuji was too lazy to even say anything as he stepped forward and threw a punch. This big bully was only at Yuan Dan Stage Level 9 and was only a few levels away from Mo Wuji. Furthermore, he didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji would dare to act against him. "Kacha!" The sound of bone cracking could be heard after the big bully was blown away by Mo Wuji¡¯s punch while vomiting blood in midair. Mo Wuji took a step over and landed his foot on the thigh of the big bully. "Crack!" The cracking sound of the thigh bone breaking apart made some people squeak. "Do you know what to do?" Mo Wuji lowered his head and asked the big bully under his feet. If Mo Wuji could bear the shame of being forced to pay compensation even though he just reached here, he shouldn¡¯t even be heading towards the Star Wars Battlefield. "I will compensate you with spirit stones¡­"Just as this big bully managed to utter these six words, numerous bodies surrounded Mo Wuji. A strong surge of aura flew towards Mo Wuji and he could feel that it was a Nihility God Stage expert. Just this aura alone would not be able to restrain Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji was worried that this Nihility God Stage expert might act against him. All he hoped for was that the regulations Chu Qianlou mentioned earlier would stand firm. That big bully heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the people surrounding Mo Wuji. Even though he suffered a bit, he would probably recover in a few months¡¯ time but if they didn¡¯t smash this boy¡¯s spiritual roots into powder after what he had done, they could forget about earning a living here anymore. At the thought of this, he could feel an insane amount of elemental energy tearing tens of his spirit channels. As he spat out a mouthful of blood, this big bully looked unexpectedly at Mo Wuji, "How dare you tear my spirit channels¡­" Having been a bully here for some time now, it wasn¡¯t that they hadn¡¯t met any vicious person. Even so, however vicious the person was, they would at most suffer a few bruises and the other party would still be required to compensate and then have his spirit channels taken away. This was in fact his first time having his spiritual roots ruined by someone. After he realised his whole body was useless with his spirit channels ruined, this big bully was so anxious and enraged that he fainted. "How dare you ruin a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator¡¯s spirit channel here?" A fuming voice was heard and another crazy surge of aura charged towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was blown away by this surge of elemental energy aura as his whole body flew away like a piece of paper before hitting a stone pillar in front of the array door as some blood started to appear at the corner of his lips. "You Nihility God Stage cultivator, how could you attack a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator like myself¡­" Mo Wuji pointed furiously at the Nihility God Stage cultivator as he was so enraged that his whole body was trembling. This Nihility God Stage cultivator was shocked momentarily as he thought to himself, since when am I so strong? His aura could at most slightly influence the battle but was most definitely not able to send a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator flying and even spat out some blood. If he was truly that strong, he would have prepared himself to advance to the True God Stage instead of wasting time here. The surrounding turned silent as everyone stared at this Nihility God Stage cultivator. Very soon after, the NIhility God Stage cultivator understood what was going on and his entire face turned pale. He was tricked by this Yuan Dan Stage cultivator and if he didn¡¯t act against Mo Wuji earlier on, he would not have fallen into Mo Wuji¡¯s trap. He used his insane aura against his opponent and using such means were still acceptable because as long as the lower stage cultivator didn¡¯t get hurt by it, nobody would bother finding fault with it. However, his aura now caused a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to be blown away and even caused him to bleed, why would nobody bring this matter up given the clear evidence displayed? "You¡­" This time round, it wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji who spat out blood but the Nihility God Stage cultivator. He pointed at Mo Wuji with fear starting to build up in his heart. Before this Nihility God Stage cultivator could say anything, a True God Stage expert descended from the sky as he grabbed this cultivator and left in the other direction. Before this True God Stage expert completely exited the big gate of the transfer array, the crowd heard the devastating cries of the Nihility God Stage cultivator. At that moment, everyone knew that doom was near for the Nihility God Stage cultivator. That devastating cry was a warning to everyone here that if you want to scam and cheat, you still had to abide by the rules. If every expert act against a lower cultivation level cultivator, there would be lesser and lesser genius experts appearing in the Star Wars Battlefield. Mo Wuji wiped the blood stains off his lips as he gradually stood up. He looked at the numerous Yuan Dan Stage cultivators who surrounded him earlier together with the Nihility God Stage expert and said coldly, "May I know if any of you still want me to compensate with spirit stones? If you do, please step forward and say something." These Yuan Dan Stage cultivators saw Mo Wuji as if they had seen a ghost as they disappeared in a jiffy. This was their first time seeing such an insidious newcomer that could even plot against a Nihility God Stage expert. Who could guarantee they would not be the next one to be plotted against if they continued staying here? These few men had made up their mind on the spot to never continue such acts here anymore. Instead of having their spirit channels torn by someone, they would rather head towards the Star Wars Battlefield and kill till their hearts¡¯ content. Mo Wuji looked at the big bully lying on the floor and didn¡¯t even bother touching his storage ring before he turned and walked towards Chu Qianlou and the rest. Chu Qianlou ran over hastily as she was relieved that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t touch his storage ring. It would be doomsday for Mo Wuji too if he decided to touch the storage ring. Compensation of spirit stones was still acceptable as long as you didn¡¯t touch the storage ring yourself. The other party had to take out the item and pass it to your hand because it would be considered stealing if you touch their storage ring and stealing here would result in a death penalty too. "Fortunately you didn¡¯t touch that person¡¯s storage ring," Chu Qianlou was panting as she walked over to Mo Wuji. As for what Mo Wuji did to the Nihility God Stage cultivator, Chu Qianlou didn¡¯t even find it surprising anymore. She had witnessed Mo Wuji combining his Yuan Dan Stage strength with his intelligence to outwit a True Lake Stage cultivator so this way of defeating people was not surprising at all for Chu Qianlou. Mo Wuji laughed, "I don¡¯t even value a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator¡¯s storage ring." He truly had no idea about the regulation of not stealing other people¡¯s storage ring but he was indeed not interested in a Yuan Dan Stage storage ring. The storage rings he had on him were mostly True God Stage so what good things could possibly be in a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator¡¯s storage ring? If he fought in the wild and killed a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, he might still pick the storage ring up but in a place like this, he really couldn¡¯t be bothered to take the ring from a cultivator who had already lost his strength to fight back. "Let¡¯s go, we should hurry to the Star Wars Battlefield. Other than that, we should be extra cautious when we reach the battlefield because even though they are not that powerful, they are still the local bully here," Chu Qianlou explained softly. "I know, let¡¯s go," Mo Wuji looked around and couldn¡¯t spot Ren Tianxing hence, feeling slightly disappointed. However, he guessed that Ren Tianxing must have travelled to the Star Wars Battlefield. Chu Qianlou was right because they were not required to pay any spirit stones to transfer themselves to the Star Wars Battlefield and all they needed to do was to get onto the transfer array. [1]: A porcelain bumper in chinese would refer to a person who damage something on purpose and then asking for compensation. In this context, he was referring to the big bully who knocked him on purpose to provoke a fight and then robbing him off his valuables. Chapter 291: Universal Board Chapter 291: Universal Board Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Universal Board After they reached the transfer array at the Universal Hall outside the Star Wars Battlefield, the first thing Mo Wuji and co. saw when they walked out of the Universal Hall was the massive board. Even though the massive board had no indication what board this was, Mo Wuji could tell that it had to be the Universal Board. The Universal Board and the Heaven Seeking Board were different because the Universal Board showed the names of the cultivator and people could even see who the number one was but they couldn¡¯t see what was on the ranking monument erected behind the ranked number one. Every name on the Universal Board was extended out like a three-dimensional plaque and it could be seen very clearly using one¡¯s naked eyes that there were no steps and between every two names was a spacing. Each of the Heaven, Earth and Mortal Ranking Board could hold up to about 10,000 names but Mo Wuji could only see 1000 names on the Universal Board. Additionally, Mo Wuji realised that he could only look at it with his naked eyes and not his spiritual will. The white moustached fishing elder wanted him to climb to the top of this Universal Board that couldn¡¯t be scanned by spiritual will? I probably couldn¡¯t climb it with one jump right? Mo Wuji subconsciously took a few steps forward and he realised very quickly that the closer he was to the Universal Board, the greater the pressure felt. Even without trying, Mo Wuji already knew that it definitely wouldn¡¯t be easy even if he were to climb step by step on this extended three-dimensional ranking board. He wondered if things would be slightly easier after being ranked number 1. "I didn¡¯t expect there to be only 1000 people on the Universal Board and wouldn¡¯t it be too difficult to climb up there?" Mo Wuji sighed. Chu Qianlou explained, "There are a total of 10,000 people on the Universal Board too. What you saw earlier on was the main board and the rest of the people are all on the secondary board." She pointed to a place further away from them as she spoke. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes followed the direction that Chu Qianlou pointed and indeed, he saw a huge array ranking monument. There were no steps or plaque on this array ranking monument but only rows and rows of names. From top to bottom, the words might be small but Mo Wuji was able to use his spiritual will to see everything. It was clear that this secondary board was only build afterwards because the difference between the main board and itself was almost as big as the distance between heaven and earth. On the main Universal Board, every row only had one name and nothing else. On the secondary board, there was not only the name but also the sect that the expert belonged to. It must be very honourable for someone to be able to earn the right to have their name on the secondary board in a popular place like this Star Wars Battlefield. "That should be the Universal Hall right?," Pang Qi pointed to a quaint grey coloured building. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on this building as well and he literally couldn¡¯t see how wide this building was. All he knew was that there were clouds sticking out on both sides of the building. He didn¡¯t manage to get a clear view of the building¡¯s peak because it was also shrouded by fog. Chu Qianlou nodded, "Yes, this is the Universal Hall. We have to walk out of the Universal Hall to head towards the Star Wars Battlefield and I shall explain more when we enter. There is a smaller scale cultivation city inside this Universal Hall." As she was speaking, Chu Qianlou brought everyone else into this grey coloured Universal Hall. The moment they entered the Universal Hall, Mo Wuji knew that Chu Qianlou was right as he did see a smaller scale cultivation city in here. There were shield arrays to shield against spiritual will everywhere and he could only see shops, streets, hotels and double cultivators buildings which were similar to the brothels on Earth. The average spiritual energy in Zhen Mo Continent was already many times denser than the Lost Continent but the spiritual energy here at the Universal Hall was even denser. Also, there were countless streams of cultivators heading towards and leaving the Universal Hall so it would be quite impossible to know the exact numbers here. Every single cultivator here had dense spiritual aura around them as it was evident that no one here was ordinary. Mo Wuji looked around at the strength of the cultivators here and realised that being in the Yuan Dan Stage here would be considered as one of the lowest cultivation level cultivators. There were countless of True Lake Stage and Nihility God Stage cultivators here and even though there were very little Yuan Dan Stage cultivators, there weren¡¯t a lot of True God Stage cultivators too. As for the Worldly Immortal Stage cultivators, Mo Wuji might not be able to tell even if he met them. "How do we go over to the Star Wars Battlefield?" Wanting to head towards the Thorny Wind Gate, Mo Wuji asked Chu Qianlou anxiously. Chu Qianlou pointed to a wide path in front of them and said, "By walking through there, we will reach the place to make our universal tokens. Once everyone made their universal tokens, I will bring all of you to the entrance of the Star Wars Battlefield." Chu Qianlou didn¡¯t make empty promises because she did use her own ability to help Mo Wuji and co. get their universal tokens registered. Additionally, she had done what she needed to do so well that nobody questioned the origins of Mo Wuji and co. Chu Qianlou handed the tokens to everyone and then brought everyone to another hall which was not too far away from them. The moment they entered the next hall, Mo Wuji felt like he entered a marketplace. There were many cultivators around and a variety of big and small arrays display screen showing the messages from the various groups and some even displaying recruitment messages. This was exactly the same as a cultivation city¡¯s association. Chu Qianlou looked at those array display screens and said, "This place is called the Universal Pier where newcomers form their groups or get recruited by groups before heading towards the Star Wars Battlefield. Therefore, if we want to go over to the Star Wars Battlefield, we have to find informations here. On the second level of the Universal Pier is where people exchange items that they want using contribution points. In the event you don¡¯t wish to exchange for the items here, there are other buildings outside which you could exchange for items using your contribution points tool. In other words, in this place, universal contribution points are much more convenient and useful than spirit stones. There are many approaches to earn contribution points. The easiest way would be to join the military and make use of the military power. You could also accept missions here, kill space beasts or even kill alien cultivators to earn contribution points. Alien cultivators in space have a different way of cultivating from cultivators in the Zhen Mo Continent so the way their soul dissipated upon death would be different too. This is exactly why the moment you kill an alien cultivator, you would receive contribution points. Remember to hang your universal token around your waist and not keep it inside your storage ring." Chu Qianlou brought Mo Wuji and the rest to the third level while she was speaking. On the third level, Mo Wuji saw a few huge array gates. Mo Wuji could be considered to be quite knowledgeable in array gates now so in one glance, Mo Wuji was able to tell that these are voided array gates. Stepping out of these array doors would be equivalent to leaving the Zhen Mo Continent, into a new space. "Everyone saw the huge array gates right? These are the array gates that leads to the Star Wars Battlefield. Every gate here would lead you to a position in space outside the Zhen Mo Continent and you would be faced with threats the moment you walked out of these gates," Chu Qianlou said as she pointed to the array gates. Mo Wuji enquired, "Sister Chu, the Universal Hall that we are in is not in the Zhen Mo Continent anymore right?" Chu Qianlou nodded her head," Yes, this is the heart of the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s protecting array. Don¡¯t think that the Universal Hall here is very safe because the truth was that in the space beyond the array gates here, we, Zhen Mo Continent, stationed hundreds of huge militaries with us. Otherwise, our array gates will definitely not be able to defend against the attacks from space." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because regardless in the cultivation or mortal world, the peace on the surface was exchanged by countless of fresh blood. Without the hundreds of militaries stationed outside the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s space, Zhen Mo Continent would have been invaded like the Lost Continent. "Then why didn¡¯t anyone thought of entering from the Lost Continent then invade Zhen Mo Continent from the Lost Continent?" Mo Wuji felt a little odd because given the Lost Continent weak defense, it should be very easy to invade. This time, without waiting for Chu Qianlou¡¯s reply, a cultivator standing by the side couldn¡¯t help but asked, "Hehe, my friend here just arrived right? The Lost Continent and us, Zhen Mo Continent, belonged to one planet called Zhen Xing. In fact, we couldn¡¯t be more excited if people dared to invade us from the Lost Continent because they are simply courting death¡­" Mo Wuji was even more curious because he really couldn¡¯t understand as he just came over from the Lost Continent. Hold on¡­I barely managed to get here alive too. Chu Qianlou explained, "There are indeed flaws in the cultivation regulations in the Lost Continent for example the lack of spiritual energy. The moment someone invade the Lost Continent, all we needed to do is to close the Zhen Xing¡¯s trap array and these people are as good as dead because it isn¡¯t that easy to get from the Lost Continent to Zhen Mo. Furthermore, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do much by staying in the Lost Continent." Mo Wuji finally understood what he meant. They must have had control over the huge Zhen Xing protecting array. As for people invading the Lost Continent, even if they killed a whole lot of people there, it would simply be like losing a few ants in the eyes of the Zhen Mo Continent power holder. This was exactly like what the earlier cultivator said, that they couldn¡¯t be more excited for people to invade the Lost Continent. This was because if those trapped in the Lost Continent were not extremely strong, it would simply be a case of hitting dogs behind closed doors for cultivators of the Zhen Mo Continent. Mo Wuji suddenly felt uncomfortable and he gradually lost his initial admiration for the power holders of Zhen Mo Continent. They were simply protecting their own personal interest instead of protecting the people of Zhen Xing when they set up such a measure. "We can understand more on the first level and then either choose our own groups to join to enter the Star Wars Battlefield or accept a mission together to enter battlefield together," Even though Chu Qianlou¡¯s level of cultivation was much higher than Mo Wuji, she would still ask for Mo Wuji¡¯s opinion. She believed that as long as Mo Wuji don¡¯t die in the Star Wars Battlefield, his cultivation level would most likely surpass her¡¯s in a decade¡¯s time. Mo Wuji said apologetically, "I have some matter on my hand which requires me to enter the Star Wars Battlefield alone so if I am able to make it back in time, we could enter as a group in the future. If I couldn¡¯t make it back in time, then...forget it." Mo Wuji had long decided that he needed to visit the Thorny Wind Gate and because it was an extreme realm, he would naturally not bring Pang Qi and co. over with him. Otherwise, he would be harming them instead of helping them. Pang Qi and co. heard that Mo Wuji wanted to enter the battlefield himself and a trace of disappointment flashed across all their eyes. Evidently, they were all ready to enter as a group with Mo Wuji. However, they all respected Mo Wuji¡¯s decision and immediately expressed their agreement to work together in the future. Mo Wuji was a very decisive person so he bade goodbye to Chu Qianlou and co. immediately after he made his decision. Because he didn¡¯t want the rest know where he was going, he decided to find out more about the Thorny Wind Gate on his own. ¡­ After a couple of hours, Mo Wuji returned to the level three of the Universal Pier yet again as he was ready to enter the Star Wars Battlefield from here. Just after Mo Wuji left, there was a yellow haired cultivator rushing to the first level as he met up with a gloomy face man who had been waiting in one of the spiritual tea room. Just as he saw a man walking over to him, he instantly stood up and ask, "Has he left?" "He had just left and I¡¯ve heard that he had been asking about the location of the Thorny Wind Gate and even bought a spatial positioning ball heading towards the Thorny Wind Gate. He left from the Spatial Gate Number 7 ," The yellow haired cultivator replied. Chapter 292: Earth Board’s Expert Chapter 292: Earth Board¡¯s Expert Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji stepped out of the spatial gate and landed on a piece of suspended plaza. Around the plaza was the faint gray space and he noticed a few cultivators drawing their own flying ships to make their way into the boundless and vast space. There were also a few cultivators, coming from afar, landing on this plaza. Fortunately, cultivators could survive with just spiritual energy in the air as the surrounding layer of air became thinner by the minute. However, Mo Wuji had already experienced too many places with the lack of oxygen so with the thin layer of air here, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable at all. He was thankful for his flying ship because without his flying ship, even if he was capable enough to walk in space, he would lose both his speed and direction. Mo Wuji originally wanted to use the round flying ship but at the thought of the fact that the round flying ship belonged to a True God Stage expert of the Zhen Mo Continent, he managed to convince himself against the idea of using it. He decided to take out the flying ship he retrieved from the True God Stage alien cultivator. This flying ship was slightly faster than Cen Shuyin¡¯s flying car but was still not good enough for him. Mo Wuji started driving this flying ship as he left this suspended plaza for the vast space ahead. Even though he didn¡¯t see any encampment of the Zhen Mo military which Chu Qianlou mentioned, he guessed that it wouldn¡¯t be too far away from the Universal Hall. Mo Wuji heard Chu Qianlou talked about the importance of positioning in the space because one would lose his way very easily if he didn¡¯t know his position in this vast space. One must not think that there were a few stars which one could use as reference because everything and anything could happen in space. Maybe you could be using this particular star as a reference today but you could still disappear without a trace the very next day. Therefore, every cultivators who entered the space would buy a spatial positioning ball. There were many types of spatial positioning ball in the Universal Hall and the most expensive type would be a spatial positioning ball indicating the space routes to various locations. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to afford that because even though he had over millions of Earth grade spirit stones, he intended to use these for cultivation. Therefore, he naturally wouldn¡¯t use everything he had to purchase one spatial positioning ball. Other than this, there were the single space array gate positioning ball. For example, Mo Wuji came out from the Spatial Gate Number 7 so he could purchase the spatial positioning ball depicting the area outside of this Spatial Gate Number 7. The price of such a spatial positioning ball was not very cheap therefore, after much considerations, Mo Wuji decided to wait till he earn contribution points before getting one of those. Using contribution points to exchange for the positioning ball would be the most affordable way here in the Universal Hall. Eventually, Mo Wuji used his spirit stones to buy a single route spatial positioning ball which would lead to the Thorny Wind Gate. Such a spatial positioning ball would only show one location and in Mo Wuji¡¯s ball, it would only show the route to the Thorny Wind Gate. The only good thing about this was that it was cheap and the positioning was more accurate than the others. After the flying ship entered the space, Mo Wuji ignited the spatial positioning ball he bought and indeed, it only displayed one clear direction. No matter how vast the space was, Mo Wuji only needed to follow this direction and he would most definitely reach the Thorny Wind Gate. After flying for several days in space, Mo Wuji decided to change a flying ship. This flying ship¡¯s grade was simply too low hence, the extremely slow pace. Just as his flying ship began to slow down and before he started changing to the round flying ship, a flying ship flew past him, blocking the front of his flying ship. Mo Wuji immediately stopped what he was doing and simultaneously stopped his own flying ship before standing on the bow of his ship as he stared at this flying ship obstructing him. There were two people on board the ship, the yellow hair fella should be in the Yuan Dan Stage while the gloomy face man should be in the advanced stage of the True Lake Stage. Even though he was in Yuan Dan Stage Level 12 and could possibly win an opponent of higher cultivation level then himself, there was also a limit to what he could do. He would definitely not have the capabilities to defeat an advanced stage True Lake Stage cultivator. "Are you the one who ripped Yue Ji¡¯s spiritual roots and then plotted against my second uncle at the Piercing Wind City¡¯s transfer plaza?" The True Lake Stage cultivator looked at Mo Wuji as if he was staring at a dead man. So this fella is here for revenge, Mo Wuji kept his flying ship calmly. Come at me if it¡¯s revenge he wants. In terms of strength, he would definitely not match this True Lake Stage cultivator but he really had no fear. It wouldn¡¯t be beneficial for him to fight against a strong expert so even if he couldn¡¯t beat him, he could just run away. As for the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator, he had to find and make the most of every opportunity to finish him off. "Fight me if you want, why bother saying so much rubbish?" Mo Wuji reached out his hand and grabbed his own Tian Ji Pole. "Senior apprentice brother Zhize, help me hold the line. How dare a small Yuan Dan Stage be so arrogant?" said the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji was even more speechless, this fella¡¯s cultivation level was slightly lower than his yet he dared to say Mo Wuji was arrogant. In his heart, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t wait for this Yuan Dan Stage cultivator to make his move because then, he wouldn¡¯t need to find an opportunity and could kill one first. "Go ahead, I will just watch from here so don¡¯t worry," The True Lake Stage cultivator nodded his head because in his eyes, Mo Wuji was definitely a dead man. He didn¡¯t wish to waste any time so while Mo Wuji was busy with the yellow haired, he would directly intervene and slap Mo Wuji to death. A stronger personnel sneak attacking a weaker cultivator? In this battlefield, as long as you could survive, nobody would find it odd even if a Worldly Immortal Stage cultivator sneak attacked a mortal. He was just worried that Mo Wuji might have some teleport talisman to help him escape under his nose. Noticing that Mo Wuji had kept his flying treasure, he had some suspicions that Mo Wuji might have planned some tricks to escape. He didn¡¯t wish to step in the fight now because he wanted to observe Mo Wuji closely. Concurrently, he wanted to finish Mo Wuji off in the shortest time possible because firstly, he was afraid someone might witness this. After all, Mo Wuji knew a Nihility God Stage cultivator. Secondly, he wanted Mo Wuji¡¯s concealment technique. To be honest, Mo Wuji¡¯s spirituality was not evident but he was indeed in the Yuan Dan Stage which showed how extraordinary his concealment technique was. As long as he got hold of such a concealment technique, he was confident it would come in handy in the future. After receiving the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s approval, this yellow hair cultivator drew his lone scissors as he charged towards Mo Wuji unscrupulously. He took the initiative and said he wanted to deal with Mo Wuji simply because he wanted his senior apprentice brother Zhize to witness his strength. To him, even if Mo Wuji was in the Yuan Dan Stage Level 9, he would be able kill him easily. A explosive surge of elemental energy was released towards him which made Mo Wuji realised that this yellow hair fella dared to attack him because he certainly had some tricks up his sleeves. Mo Wuji swung out the Tian Ji pole in his hand and the two surges of elemental energy clashed against each other as Mo Wuji flew away. "You think you can run¡­" The yellow hair fella laughed as he moved like lightning towards the direction Mo Wuji was retreating. The True Lake Stage cultivator was slightly shocked because he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy to be this weak. This made him forgot about the thought of planning a sneak attack on Mo Wuji. He wasn¡¯t suspicious because he knew very clearly the strength of the yellow hair cultivator and he also knew that an average Yuan Dan Stage cultivator would be even weaker than Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had already experienced the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s despicable means of dealing with people and it wasn¡¯t his first time getting sneak attacked on. The first time when Ceng Houyi ambushed him, he would have been dead if it wasn¡¯t for Cen Shuyin. The second time Qiu He of the Chu Clan tried to sneak attack him and similarly, he would have suffered the blow of the attack if he was not cautious enough. This time round, he didn¡¯t believe that the True Lake Stage Cultivator would not ambush him while he was fighting the Yuan Dan Stage cultivator. Therefore, his first move would be to be blown away to distant himself further away to avoid a possible ambush. The yellow hair fella charged forward half the distance and realised that Mo Wuji started to move forward instead of retreating and appeared right in front of him. The yellow hair was astonished because even he was not able to change direction as quickly as Mo Wuji. Not good, the opponent was blown away on purpose. When the yellow hair thought of this, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole had already landed. The truth was that after reaching the space, Mo Wuji knew that his decision to keep the flying ship was absolutely right. Even though he hadn¡¯t reach the Nihility God Stage, there was close to zero gravity in this space therefore, any Yuan Dan Stage cultivators would be able to use their elemental energy to travel by foot in space. The one advantage Mo Wuji had over this yellow hair fella was that his spiritual will was far more superior over him. To control his body in space, the spiritual will was much more important than the elemental energy so he got used this new environment very quickly and was thus able to easily control his own movement. After exchanging this blow with the yellow hair, flying backwards worked well indeed. "Boom!" The yellow hair hastily raised his lone scissors to block off Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji pole. Without waiting for the yellow hair fella to backoff, tens of Invisible Sword¡¯s qi was shot out. As he could feel the Invisible Sword¡¯s qi piercing through his forehead and throat, the yellow hair fella shut his eyes helplessly as he knew even celestial beings would not be able to save him. After making his decision to enter the Star Wars Battlefield, he knew there would be a day he would get killed but he never expected himself to die within two moves of a cultivator of the same stage as himself. "Die for me¡­"The moment Mo Wuji killed the yellow hair fella, the True Lake Stage cultivator threw himself at Mo Wuji as he shouted furiously while sending a blade radiance which looked like door plate towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji retreated his Tian Ji pole and fended off this blade radiance. "Boom!" Elemental energy exploded in space and Mo Wuji was tossed around in space just like a gyroscope. Just one exchange against this True Lake Stage cultivator made Mo Wuji realised that he was clearly not a match for this opponent. This time, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t get tossed over on purpose but was legitimately blown away. Mo Wuji suspected that this fella could be in the Great Circle of the True Lake Stage and to fight head to head against such an expert, he would certainly die. Things would be different if he could advance to the True Lake Stage too and then used some tricks to deal with him. After confirming that the opponent was in the Great Circle of the True Lake Stage, Mo Wuji sent out tens of lightning bolts towards him without any hesitation before drawing out his round flying ship and dashed out. The space was so vast such that it was easy to escape but also easy to chase after. These tens of lightning bolts could merely retain this True Lake Stage cultivator for a moment and a breath later, this True Lake Stage cultivator was wild with joy. He was sure that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have lightning affinity spiritual roots and for a cultivator like this to be able to execute lightning magic skills, it was clear that he must have had a lightning technique which even normal spiritual roots cultivators could cultivate. A technique like this was simple priceless in the Zhen Mo Continent. Once he was able to get hold of this, he would definitely be able to raise up the ranks again. He, Fu Zhize, was able to step into the tail end of the Earth Board while being only half a step into Nihility God Stage was only because he was able to kill a Earth Board ranked Nihility God Stage expert under extremely fortunate and coincidental circumstances. Because he was the only one clear of what had happened and the fact that he wasn''t strong enough to be ranked on the Earth Board yet, he didn¡¯t normally dare to reveal himself to let others challenge him. Now if he could really retrieve the lightning affinity technique, all he needed to do was to advance into the Nihility God Stage and he would finally be a true Earth Board expert. Chapter 293: Killing Intent in Space Chapter 293: Killing Intent in Space Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Despite knowing that his flying ship was much faster than that True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s flying ship, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t rest on his laurels. Yes, Mo Wuji could certainly lose him but if he was able to block him on his way to the Thorny Wind Gate, then the True Lake Stage cultivator must be aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s destination. However, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t not go to the Thorny Wind Gate so Mo Wuji was truly stuck in between. He really wanted to find ways to enter the True Lake Stage because if he could advance, he would have a slight chance of being able to fight against the cultivator in the Great Circle of the True Lake Stage who was chasing after him. If the difference in strength was too huge, even with the best tactics and plots, he could still lose his little life. While Mo Wuji was standing on the bow of the flying ship thinking of how to deal with the fella chasing after him, the flying ship started to shudder violently out of the blue. Before Mo Wuji could understand what was happening, his spiritual will sensed countless of demonic beasts charging towards him. These demonic beasts looked like a bunch of scorpions with two large pincers each and a tail that looked like a steel whip. What was more tingling than those were the demonic beast¡¯s numerous tiny legs that were packed densely together. The bigger ones were about 2-3 metres long while the smaller ones were only about a few centimetres long. Mo Wuji showed no signs of hesitation at all as he immediately changed the direction of the flying ship¡¯s heading. It might be the first time Mo Wuji had seen such beasts but this wasn¡¯t the first time he heard about it. When they were on the road, while Chu Qianlou was mentioning about the space beasts, she did mention about this Space Scorpions. Additionally, out of all the space beasts, the Space Scorpion was ranked in the first few in terms of strength. This beast might not be strong on its own but they always attack as a group. Moreover, this beasts were venomous and you would be poisoned whether you were bitten, grabbed or stung by it. One bite would result in one stream of poison entering one¡¯s blood and under the attacks of the countless numbers of scorpions, once you were bitten countless of times, the massive accumulation of poison in your body would eventually lead to death. Even a True God Stage expert would find it hard to escape when surrounded by countless of Space Scorpions. Noticing that Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship turned back, that True Lake Stage cultivator was pleasantly surprised as he charged towards Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship with both blades drawn without hesitation. Mo Wuji knew that if he didn¡¯t keep his flying ship immediately, his flying ship would be destroyed in the next moment. He could possibly use his flying ship to defend himself for a while before escaping but where would he escape to if his flying ship was damaged? He had no idea if the other flying ships of his would be faster than this True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s. Mo Wuji kept his flying ship and elemental energy from all 102 meridians started circulating and an insane amount of energy blasted out of the Tian Ji pole. At this moment, there were no hidden techniques and it was basically brute force against brute force. "Boom!" The elemental energy exploded and Mo Wuji spat out a fresh mouthful of blood as his whole body coincidentally flew towards the incoming Space Scorpions. Presently, the True Lake Stage cultivator finally understood why Mo Wuji was escaping because if he was met with such a huge number of Space Scorpions himself, he would have done the same as Mo Wuji. The pity was that because he was so anxious to kill Mo Wuji, even though he sent Mo Wuji into the crowd of Space Scorpions, he was led into the same crowd himself too. This was already too late to regret because finding a way to block these Space Scorpions should be the more urgent matter presently. Lightning flashed all around Mo Wuji¡¯s body and countless of Space Scorpions were struck dead by his lightning bolts. This made Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief because these Space Scorpions were not particularly strong in battle and the strongest ones were only in the basic stage of the Yuan Dan Stage while the rest were in the Transcending Mortality, Spirit Building and some even in the Channel Opening Stage. The Space Scorpions¡¯ main way of attacking would be to bite and grab but Mo Wuji noticed that some stronger Space Scorpions were even able to shoot out invisible venomous needle. He was careless and got struck by two of the noodles but was fortunate that he had a lot of antidotes with him. He didn¡¯t waste any time in forcing the needle out as he swallowed the antidote. Only till this moment that Mo Wuji realised he should have a defensive magic treasure. He flipped through the items in his storage ring before taking out a concave shield. This concave shield actually belonged to Jing Gumu because after he managed to refine Jing Gumu¡¯s storage ring, Mo Wuji found a few decent spiritual items and this was one of it. Mo Wuji continuously shot out lightning bolts while he used the shortest possible time to refine the shield. In the midst of doing so, he was struck by a few more invisible needles. The moment this concave shield was brought out, it turned into a three directionals defense shield which instantly reduced the pressure on Mo Wuji greatly. Presently, even Mo Wuji wanted to curse at himself for not thinking ahead and refined a few defense magic treasure beforehand. This was the classic case of not being able to gain knowledge without practice. After this incident today, Mo Wuji realised that there would be no disadvantages of having a few refined defense magic treasures with him. Fortunately, these Space Scorpions were not very strong in combat which gave him the chance to refine this defensive shield on the spot. Mo Wuji hurried to continue scanning the other items in his storage ring and he found out that there were two other slightly weaker defensive magic treasures other than the one he drew out. These two defensive magic treasures were both found in the storage ring of the True God Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji seldom saw people using defensive magic treasure and he wondered if the value of defensive magic treasures were much higher than the average offensive magic treasures. The pity was that his Heaven Crow Natural Silk Armour had already been destroyed because it could still be useful in this situation if it wasn¡¯t destroyed. After avoiding more venomous needles, Mo Wuji released big chunks of lightning bolts towards them. The surrounding Space Scorpions were all killed in big crowds. Against these slightly weaker Space Scorpions, Mo Wuji guessed that his Scholar¡¯s Heart would be more useful and effective. However, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t dare to casually reveal his Scholar¡¯s Heart while that True Lake Stage cultivator was still alive. Without finding out how precious this Scholar¡¯s Heart truly was, just based on the fact that he almost lost his little life getting this Scholar¡¯s Heart, he knew that this item must be extraordinarily valuable. After entering the world of cultivation, this Scholar¡¯s Heart was the most difficult magic treasure that he obtained. Or rather, it was the only decent magic treasure that he had with him. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on that True Lake Stage cultivator and he noticed that he actually had no defensive magic treasure with him too. Currently, the True Lake Stage cultivator was in a situation worse than himself because even though his cultivation level was higher, he lacked any magic skills to mass kill. His big blade radiance was indeed able to kill a group of Space Scorpions but there were simply too many groups of Space Scorpions for him to deal with given his energy level. Mo Wuji was surprisingly pleased as he continuously kill the Space Scorpions while taking out another defensive shield. While he tried to refine the new defensive shield, Mo Wuji realised he made a mistake. The moment these two defensive shields were out, his spiritual will was obstructed and in the very next moment, he was stung by several venomous needles. Mo Wuji hurried to keep the second defensive shield as he forced out the venomous needles in him while using more lightning bolts to fend off the Space Scorpions. Mo Wuji finally understood why there were very few cultivators using the defensive magic treasures. This was because defensive magic treasures would exhaust one¡¯s spiritual will very quickly. If not for the support from his 102 meridians as well as his training of spiritual will in the mortal world, he would have not been able to hold on for any longer. Even so, Mo Wuji guessed that he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for a long time. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji lost his motivation to continue killing the Space Scorpions therefore, he started to move while killing them. To escape from this massive crowd of Space Scorpions, it would be impossible without executing any big move. Even though these Space Scorpions were fighting forward relentlessly, they still had some instincts within them. For example, when he tried to breakaway from them even more Space Scorpions would charged towards the direction he was trying to breakaway so as to obstruct him. It would still be possible for him to breakaway but he needed to kill this True Lake Stage cultivator first. The True Lake Stage cultivator was presently killing the massive number of Space Scorpions surrounding him. His body was similarly struck by many venomous needles and he had no energy left to pay attention to Mo Wuji. In his eyes, if he had such a tough time trying to hold on, Mo Wuji should have a much tougher time. Mo Wuji had already slowly made his way to a position not very far away from the back of this True Lake Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji shot out tens of Invisible Sword towards the cultivator while the True Lake Stage cultivator was focused on killing the Space Scorpions. Concurrently, a few huge electroballs were shot towards the True Lake Stage cultivator. This True Lake Stage cultivator was helplessly trapped by the Space Scorpions and was constantly engrossed in the massacre of the Space Scorpions. All he thought about was to find ways to escape so why would he be able to notice the fluctuation in space? By the time he realised that these fluctuations were not because of the attacks from the Space Scorpions, it was already too late. "Puff! Puff!" Two streams of blood were shot out of this True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s body and he knew instantly that he was the target of an assassination. He quickly tried to shift away but before he could stand firmly, "Boom! Boom!" Two intense electroballs exploded below his feet. The moment both his legs were blasted off, the surrounding vicious Space Scorpions immediately pounced onto the True Lake Stage cultivator. This True Lake Stage cultivator turn to look desperately at Mo Wuji as he didn¡¯t bother fending against the incoming Space Scorpions anymore. He knew that he would certainly be dead today even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t act against him. Under such circumstances, there was no reason for him to resist anymore. Mo Wuji would never give him any chance of survival as he didn¡¯t even bother avoiding the incoming venomous needles while shooting out yet another Invisible Sword that pierced through the True Lake Stage cultivator¡¯s forehead. The moment this True Lake Stage cultivator gave up completely, his entire body disappeared within the crowd of Space Scorpions. Mo Wuji hurried to release yet another bunch of lightning bolts to blast these Space Scorpions near him away before swallowing a few antidotes to counter the poison in him. At this moment, even the remains of the True Lake Stage cultivator were nowhere to be seen. He was completely engulfed by the Space Scorpions and after they engulfed the True Lake Stage cultivator, the rest of the Space Scorpions charged like a menacing wave towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji kept his concave shield and using his spiritual will, his Scholar¡¯s Heart turned into flames surrounding his entire body before making his way out. If he didn¡¯t escape out hurriedly, even if he had three elemental storage channels, he would still die from these relentless attacks of the Space Scorpions. When the countless of Space Scorpions touched the flame of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, they either disintegrated into ashes immediately or were left dead in space. Mo Wuji was secretly celebrating at the fact that while they attacked in large numbers, they were not exactly that strong. The moment he were to be met with stronger demonic beasts, he would use his Scholar¡¯s Heart to setup a defensive shield around him. Against these terrifying Space Scorpions¡¯ charge at him, they were destroyed and scattered very quickly. After the Scholar¡¯s Heart was refined by him, it''s offensive capabilities were still not as strong as when it was without an owner. As for this matter, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too worried because he knew that as he grew stronger, his Scholar¡¯s Heart would definitely advance and become much stronger too. The numerous Space Scorpions were directly burnt to death by the Scholar¡¯s Heart while even more Space Scorpions instinctively obstructed Mo Wuji¡¯s escape route. Chapter 294: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Reemerges Chapter 294: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Reemerges Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A moment later, Mo Wuji realised that he would not be able to charge out with brute force. Once his elemental energy and spiritual will ran out, he would die. At this point, Mo Wuji directly threw out large quantities of lightning bolts. Originally he had the Scholar¡¯s Heart to cover and protect him, so he technically did not need lightning bolts and just had to charge forward. However, after some time he noticed a pattern. The more Star Scorpions he killed, the more blocked his way. This meant that it was never ending, and the more he charged forward, the thicker the wall of Star Scorpions. Hence Mo Wuji tried to increase his rate of attacks at the area ahead of him, and as expected, more Space Scorpions rushed over to block him. His lightning bolts continued to stretch out further, not to attack the Space Scorpions by his side, but those much further away. After Mo Wuji¡¯s attack, he could no longer see the open space in front of him. This was because even more Space Scorpions had instinctively blocked his path, and with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji realised that the Space Scorpions behind him had thinned out. Taking a deep breath, he knew that this was the moment to escape. As long as he could turn around in the shortest time possible and take out his flying ship as fast as he could, there was a chance of escaping. For this he had to be extremely fast, as those Space Scorpion, while not smart, were not stupid either. Once they found out that he had turned around suddenly, it would put them on guard even more. The next time he tried to create such an opportunity, it would be much more difficult. It was a pity that the Scholar¡¯s Heart still had no offensive capabilities, otherwise if he could throw out a large wave of green fire, no matter how many Space Scorpions there were, they would just be a joke. Another few waves of lightning bolts landed in front, and Mo Wuji drew out the spherical flying ship. Indeed, Mo Wuji¡¯s sudden turning around motion confused the Space Scorpions blocking his way momentarily. By the time they charged forward again, his flying ship had been started up, and he charged out leaving a blur behind. Two hours later, the figures of Space Scorpions left the field of vision of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, and he finally sat down at the bow of the flying ship, sweating profusely. This had been the closest of close shaves, as he was nearly done in by the Space Scorpions. ¡­ "Hmm, who is that guy that just appeared at rank 9831 on the Earth Board? His name is so weird, Rogue Cultivator 2705?" On the large plaza in Nine Mo City, someone noticed the unusual name that had been added onto the Earth Board. Mo Wuji did not know that the name "Rogue Cultivator 2705" would appear on the Earth Board, as he would have reported a name if he knew that he would continue to be represented as Rogue Cultivator 2705 after killing the Great Circle of True Lake Stage cultivator after remaining nameless. Even using the name "Mo Wuji" was better than having "Rogue Cultivator 2705" appear on Zhen Mo Continent. "I know who the original rank 9831 was, his name is Fu Zhize, an expert a half step into Nihility God Stage, who had killed a seriously injured Nihility God Stage Level 6 expert out of luck a year ago. That Nihility God Stage Level 6 expert was originally rank 9831 on the Earth Board, but because Fu Zhize killed him, he was able to get onto the Earth Board." To most cultivators, the 10,000 names on the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Boards were not really much. Many could regurgitate any name on any of the three boards. "That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve heard of that before. This guy is afraid of being challenged by others, so who knows where he hid to. This Rogue Cultivator 2705 is quite lucky, to be able to meet this sham Fu Zhize. Hmm, Rogue Cultivator 2705, isn¡¯t he¡­" Another cultivator remembered who Rogue Cultivator 2705 was in the middle of his sentence. Such a famous person, and one could say that no one that followed the three board would not know who Rogue Cultivator 2705 was. "He he, you¡¯re not that hopeless after all. Who was the previous rank 1 of the Mortal Board? Wasn¡¯t it Rogue Cultivator 2705? I heard that Gu Shaoyi admitted that he isn¡¯t a match for this guy too." The surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air, and could not believe that this was true. Rogue Cultivator 2705 becoming rank 1 on the Mortal Board and going on the Earth Board was definitely true, and nothing surprising. The shocking thing was, just how long ago did Rogue Cultivator 2705 become rank 1 on the Mortal Board? Even if Rogue Cultivator 2705 advanced to Yuan Dan Stage, the Earth Board had no Yuan Dan Stage cultivators on it up till today. Even the worst was in the advanced True Lake Stage, and those would have got on the board with exceedingly good luck, then disappeared soon after. A good example would have been Fu Zhize. Rogue Cultivator 2705 could have advanced to Yuan Dan Stage, but he definitely couldn¡¯t reach True Lake Stage in a mere few years¡¯ time right? So what if he had really reached True Lake Stage? The Earth Board was not the stage for True Lake Stage cultivators, and even those that scraped through were in advanced True Lake Stage. It was basically the territory of Nihility God Stage experts. "Rogue Cultivator 2705, I heard his dao companion was forced into a corner in space by the young hall master of the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Wars Hall¡­" "Don¡¯t spout nonsense, otherwise you won¡¯t even know how you were killed." ¡­ The same discussion happened on all plazas in Zhen Mo Continent with the three boards erected in them. Initially, all talks of Rogue Cultivator 2705 had died down after his name left the Mortal Board, but now he had become the main topic for everyone¡¯s conversations. ¡­ Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Summit. A middle aged man wearing ordinary clothes stood with his hands behind his back, on the edge of a cliff, gazing into the long winding rivers in the distance. A brown robed old man speedily walked over, softly speaking behind the middle aged man, "Star Lord, Rogue Cultivator 2705 has appeared again. I heard that he got to rank 9831 of the Earth Board." "Oh, based on the duration of time, he should be at most in Yuan Dan Stage right? A Yuan Dan Stage entering the Earth Board, he¡¯s this extraordinary? No wonder he became rank 1 on Star King Mountain¡¯s Mortal King Board." The middle aged man referred to as Star Lord suddenly turned around, and spoke agitatedly. "That¡¯s right, have the men that the Xia Clan sent to Lost Continent returned?" The brown robed man quickly replied, "They haven¡¯t, including Worldly Immortal Stage Gu Qi. I suspect that there¡¯s some top notch expert on the Lost Continent that made all of them stay behind." The middle aged Star Lord nodded his head, "This is not impossible. Back when the Lost Continent¡¯s rules were not destroyed, they had more prodigies, and there were many more experts over there as compared to Zhen Mo Continent. You should instead focus on monitoring the Xia Clan, and don¡¯t allow them to return to the Lost Continent again. But since Rogue Cultivator 2705 has come to Zhen Mo Continent, I doubt that the Xia Clan will want to go back to the Lost Continent." "Yes Star Lord. Should I look for Rogue Cultivator 2705, and protect him from the shadows? Otherwise I¡¯m afraid that the Xia Clan will harm him." The brown robed old man whispered. After a long period of silence, the middle aged Star Lord sighed, "A genius that requires protection is not truly a genius. Let him be. If he is able to survive, it means that he is indeed the person that will save our Zhen XIng. If he can¡¯t even survive, then there¡¯s no need to talk about anything else. Moreover, he was able to make it so far precisely because he is a rogue cultivator with no one to protect him." As he finished speaking, the middle aged Star Lord shook his head, seemingly mumbling to himself, "It¡¯s a pity that this guy is too pale, with the look of a scholar. He¡¯s not the ideal person¡­" He had obtained the details of how Rogue Cultivator 2705 looked like from the Xia Clan, which described Mo Wuji¡¯s pale scholar disguise. ... At the same time in Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Wars Hall Xia Clan. Xia Mu had just come out from cultivation, and as compared to when he had just arrived at the Lost Continent a few years ago, the Xia Mu now had a stable and sharp aura about him. The aura around him had settled down, and he began to appear like an expert. "Young master, there¡¯s news about Rogue Cultivator 2705." The short Rhodes ran in excitedly. Since Ceng Houyi was killed, most of Xia Mu¡¯s tasks were entrusted to him. "Where?" A pleasant look of surprise instantly appeared on Xia Mu¡¯s face as he suddenly stood up. However, he soon thought of his father¡¯s teachings, hence sitting down once again, and suppressing the rashness in his heart. Rhodes replied, "He got on the Earth Board, and is rank 9831." This made Xia Mu stunned for a while, before he spoke again, "This guy is indeed impressive, to be able to reach rank 9831 in a short few years¡¯ time." He was indeed rather shocked, as he had barely reached the top 1,000 in rank on the Earth Board after hustling till today. At the same time, he was very aware that his rank was fake. In actuality, he might really be outside the top 2,000 ranks. "I want to report this to my father." Xia Mu soon came to a decision. The Rogue Cultivator 2705 could sneakily take out Ceng Houyi, hence he probably was seeking death if he faced Rogue Cultivator 2705 alone. On top of that, he had forced Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s dao companion to her death, so Rogue Cultivator 2705 probably had a big grudge against him. A deep voice laced with joy came from the door, "My son seems to have improved recently, to know how to plan before taking action." "Father," Xia Mu immediately stood to one side and bowed upon seeing the man that had entered. It was his father that had come in, Star King Mountain Star Wars Hall¡¯s Hall Master Xia Dandao. "Greetings Hall Master," Rhodes bowed respectfully towards Xia Dandao before leaving carefully. Xia Dandao walked to the seat that Xia Mu just stood up from, and spoke, "Star Lord has noticed that Rogue Cultivator 2705, so if you want to act, you cannot act openly. This will be bad for the Xia Clan. Find out his location first." "Yes father." Xia Mu quickly replied. Rogue Cultivator 2705 definitely had to die by his hands. He was no longer the Xia Mu from a few years ago. Even if his father had not said so, he would not have openly gone to kill Rogue Cultivator 2705. Chapter 295: Thorny Wind Gate Chapter 295: Thorny Wind Gate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji looked at the universal token hanging by his waist, and there were already numbers on it. Mo Wuji, Universal Contribution Points: 149, Rank: None. Seeing this, Mo Wuji was a little speechless. The thousands and tens of thousands of Space Scorpions he just killed were actually just worth 149 points? It seemed like he could only get one point after killing many small Space Scorpions. However, he did not mind this at all, as this was just the beginning. Once he could spew out waves of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, a whole patch of Space Scorpions would be easily wiped out. For the next few days, Mo Wuji was on high alert. Even though he met a few large groups of space beasts, he actively avoided them. These large groups of space beasts would not give many points, and he might even lose his life while fighting them instead. Half a month later, Mo Wuji came to a stop. Before him there was a large whirlpool, and in it wild howling of wind could be heard. Without entering it, one could feel a sense of trepidation. This is the Thorny Wind Gate? Mo Wuji began to worry as he looked at the gigantic whirlpool. While he had bought some introductions to the Thorny Wind Gate, but they were not very detailed, and only mentioned that the wind in it was like thorns, and there was a 90% chance of death after entering. With Cen Shuyin¡¯s cultivation level, what would be her chances of survival after going in the Thorny Wind Gate? It probably was like throwing a dice, relying totally on luck right? Keeping the flying ship, Mo Wuji took out the concave shield. After some thought, he also took off the universal token at his waist. This universal token was very important, and if it got blown away by a gust, he would have to remake one. Who knew if Chu Qianlou could help him make it a second time? When his preparations were complete, he took in a deep breath, then jumped straight into the whirlpool. Terrifying forces tugged at him from all directions, and even though Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was not weak, the shield instantly left his spiritual will¡¯s range, disappearing completely. Following which strikes which felt like they were made by thony whips landed on his body, taking his clothing with them, and even his skin had lines of blood left on it. Mo Wuji felt as though as he had been thrown into a washing machine, and did not have any power to fight back. The strong wind threw him like a rag doll, and the Thorny wind whips took away patches of his skin. "Whoosh!" A large force hit him, and Mo Wuji¡¯s rotating ceased, finally being thrown out of the terrifying whirlpool and onto the ground. The sounds of bones cracking were clearly heard, and Mo Wuji quickly grabbed a few healing pills to consume. Dense spiritual energy game blowing over. This density of spiritual energy was even greater than the density of gusts, but it was a pity that this location was not suitable for cultivation. However, he still rejoiced as he had went through too many instances of suffering, otherwise the hit just now would have knocked him out. What would happen to him if he fainted in such a location? Mo Wuji soon realised that his celebration was not unfounded. Just as he had climbed up, more wild gusts of wind came blowing over. At this moment his spiritual will couldn¡¯t even be extended out, hence his field of vision was a mere 10 meters around him. "Whoosh!" The wind hit Mo Wuji, pulling him into the air. If this was just wind, it would still have been okay. However, this wild gusts of wind seemed like they had countless vines hidden in them, and every one of the vines had curved hooks all over them. These invisible vines whipped Mo Wuji until he was bloody all over, and then whipped him further. Every line of blood had no skin left there. A few moments later, none of his skin was still intact. The howling wind raged on, and Mo Wuji forcibly drew out another shield, at the same time consolidating his elemental energy. Once a safe haven appeared, he would immediately rush towards it. Otherwise, who knew where the wind would have blown him to. His flesh would soon be ripped to shreds by the whips of wind, so there might not even be any part of him left to be blown away. Now it became clear to him why this place was called the Thorny Wind Gate. The wild winds here would beat on his body like whips covered with thorns, and this was not something anyone could handle. The winds raged on for nearly 10 minutes before Mo Wuji finally spotted a relatively safe area. There were two gigantic rocks propped against each other, forming a location shielded from the wind. The already prepared Mo Wuji let his elemental energy burst forth, and the shield was used to block off some of the gusts. In that instant, he exploded forward, directly into the gap between the two large rocks. But he had no time to withdraw his shield, and another one was lost to the winds. A bloodied Mo Wuji sat on the ground with a heavy heart as he listened to the howling winds around him. How long had he entered the Thorny Wind Gate? To be actually reduced to such a state. Cen Shuyin probably already died, because this place was really a hellhole. After resting for a while, Mo Wuji stood up to feel those two rocks. Soon he concluded that these rocks were blown here by the winds, and did not originally exist at this location. Since the rocks could be brought here from some other place, this meant one thing. The winds that he encountered just now were not the worst, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to escape to this area. Dense spiritual energy no sparser than that below the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s 13 spirit locking arrays. However, Mo Wuji was not in the mood to cultivate, instead he quickly scanned outwards with his spiritual will. But it was quickly broke apart without a trace left by the raging winds. All he could see was a large area of nothingness. Since he had entered the Thorny Wind Gate, he could only see a few meters around him. Seeing the bodies of fallen cultivators on the ground, Mo Wuji knew that other than staying there to cultivate, there was no other way out. He also had to quickly advance to True Lake Stage, otherwise, once these wild winds blew the giant rocks away, he wouldn¡¯t be able to put up a decent fight. The only good thing about his predicament was that the spiritual energy in the area was dense, and as long as the two rocks did not get blown away for the next couple of months, he would definitely be able to breakthrough to True Lake Stage. Although the spiritual energy there was frighteningly dense, Mo Wuji still threw out a large pile of spirit stones. The desire to advance to True Lake Stage was strong, so naturally he could not allow the lack of cultivation resources hold him back. In his heart he knew that even after using these many spirit stones, cultivation resources could still be insufficient, as the rate of absorbing spiritual energy with the 102 meridians using the reverse circulation technique was simply too insane. He could not even be bothered to heal the external wounds on his body, and began the reverse circulation. Gone were the days of using the Immortal Mortal Technique, as his modified cultivation technique was much superior. In reality, this was the first time Mo Wuji had cultivated without holding back since he had modified his cultivation technique. While he had used the reverse circulation technique to cultivate as he walked in the Lost Swamp, it was not a pleasant cultivation experience, and there were many considerations on his mind then. Hence using reverse circulation on top of his modified cultivation technique, while having a fast absorption rate for spiritual energy, did not yield much progress in cultivation level. It took half a year for him to advance from Yuan Dan Stage Level 10 to the elementary Level 12. In other words, half a year of hard work only amounted to a small jump in levels. At this moment Mo Wuji opened up all of his meridians, and did reverse circulation with all his might. Only then did he realise how frightening the reverse circulation technique was for absorbing spiritual energy. The surrounding spiritual energy formed a whirlpool around him, which flowed in the opposite direction. Once the spiritual energy came into contact with Mo Wuji, they were swallowed up by him, without any wastage at tall. Previously, Mo Wuji had left a pile of spirit stones at his feet, but they had all been absorbed to a pulp by him. At this point he no longer had the time to continuously take out more spirit stones, as he had already sunk deep into the terrifying spiritual energy absorption. However, what pleasantly surprised him was that the spiritual energy here, while being the same spiritual energy as elsewhere, but after absorption, it gave him a clear direction for his cultivation. This sort of feeling was like back when he used the Heaven grade spirit stone to cultivate. Heaven grade spirit stones had dao insights embedded within them, thus allowing cultivators to increase their cultivation speed, and obtain revelations more easily. Now, he was able to do this without using any Heaven grade spirit stones at all. There was no doubt that this was the difference between Zhen Mo Continent and the Lost Continent. The dao in the air here was more suitable for people to go down the path of the dao. While the dao in the Lost Continent seemed to be much more broken up. With this sort of cultivation speed, would it even take a month for him to advance to True Lake Stage? Within a mere six days, Mo Wuji had reached advanced Yuan Dan Stage Level 12, and another nine days later, the Great Circle of Yuan Dan Stage. Spirituality overflowed from his body, and the violet energy inside him formed the general shape of a violet lake. "Crack!" As the 102 meridians were undergoing reverse circulation to an extreme, the 103rd meridian was blown wide open without any obstruction. A mere one meridian had been added, but the surrounding spiritual energy seemed like it was being poured into the ocean, and Mo Wuji was gobbling it up like a whale sucking in water. Elemental energy rumbled in Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians non-stop, and began to grow stronger, before the basic outline of the violet lake in his body started to break down. After dissipating, the violet energy was forced straight into his Mind Palace, which slowly cracked open from within after being invaded by such strong energies. Moreover, the speed that the crack opened up at was increasing. Upon observing this phenomenon, Mo Wuji panicked. He knew that once his Mind Palace shattered, he would be done for. It didn¡¯t matter if he cultivated with meridians or spirit channels, the Mind Palace was an absolutely crucial existence. Now that he had no way to deal with the cracking Mind Palace, he could only suppress the feelings of fear in his heart, and continue the reverse circulation. As though as he was drinking salt water to alleviate his thirst, his cultivation level was rising wildly while he underwent such unstoppable cultivation. "Boom!" A loud explosion rang out from within the depths of his Mind Palace, causing Mo Wuji to nearly think that his head was going to burst open. However, his strength did not decrease one bit, and was still increasing, with the rate of spiritual energy being absorbed getting faster. Chapter 296: Cen Shuyin’s Disappearance Chapter 296: Cen Shuyin¡¯s Disappearance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations His Mind Palace seemed to have burst open. Explosion after explosion sounded for hours and hours. Finally, everything was quiet. A few minutes passed after the explosions stopped, before Mo Wuji¡¯s mind finally calmed down from the confusion. Mo Wuji sat quietly, sensing the vast space in his Mind Palace. This was the sea of consciousness? Even though he was not yet at the Nihility God Stage, he had heard that only people in Nihility God Stage could take on the form of a primordial spirit, and expand their sea of consciousness. The bigger their sea of consciousness, the stronger their spiritual will. The sea of consciousness was used to communicate with the dao. Its size was dependent on the strength of one¡¯s dao. The stronger the dao, and the better one¡¯s dao techniques, the wider the sea of consciousness. This was an invisible, yet very real concept. Only the dao could explain it. At the same time, only the cultivators who possessed a sea of consciousness could make true progress. Since he had formed his own sea of consciousness upon entering True Lake Stage, and his sea of consciousness was so huge, how could it be that his spiritual will had weakened? Could it be that, now that he was in True Lake Stage, he could finally make progress faster? That wasn¡¯t right. Wasn¡¯t it true that when one reached True Lake Stage, the yuan dan would burst open and form an elemental lake? He didn¡¯t have any yuan dan in Yuan Dan Stage, so what formed was a ball of violet energy instead. Now, the violet energy in his body had dissipated, and rushed into his Mind Palace to form the sea of consciousness. So now that he was in True Lake Stage, where was his elemental lake? In his sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji quickly spotted a violet energy lake. After his violet energy had dissipated, it formed this violet energy lake in his sea of consciousness. There was a clear lake, of a few square metres, that contained a steady flow of violet energy. It also contained a great deal of strength and mysterious dao. All of these were dao that he had obtained after training. There was also a blur silhouette. Such a formidable True Lake Stage? Mo Wuji immediately knew that he had created his own unique True Lake, by allowing mortals to use the meridian cultivation, and inventing the reverse circulation technique. A huge burst of energy overwhelmed his entire body. Mo Wuji struggled to get to his feet, but felt elemental energy overflowing in every part of his body. If not for the fact that he was using all his strength to control himself, the boulders on either side of him would have exploded from the sheer power of his elemental energy. Mo Wuji was overcome with emotions. The power that he now had was a thousand times more than before. He was only at True Lake Stage Level 1, yet he was confident of defeating the man was who had been chasing him earlier on, who was at True Lake Stage Level 9. What was even harder to believe was the fact that his violet energy lake was much stronger than an ordinary cultivator¡¯s elemental lake. He believed that no ordinary cultivator on the same level as him could match up to him. Heaven and earth indeed had its way of working things out. He had invented the method of cultivation with meridians and the reverse circulation technique, and ultimately formed a violet energy lake that was unique only to him, and obtained a sea of consciousness in True Lake Stage. Mo Wuji did not know how big the sea of consciousness was for someone in Nihility God Stage, but he believed that his was of comparable size. His body, which was covered in battle wounds just moments earlier, was now completely unharmed. This new bout of strength replaced the melancholy in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. He couldn¡¯t wait to test his new abilities on a Nihility God Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji did not step out to test how strong he was. Instead, all his attention was focused on the 103rd meridian that had just formed. He could clearly sense that this 103rd meridian was not an elemental storage channel. He closed his eyes, trying to sense the purpose of this 103rd meridian. If he didn¡¯t discover the purpose of this meridian, he would not have been able to sleep at night. In a blink of an eye, Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes flew open. He hurriedly slipped a Bone Corroding Pill in his mouth. The Bone Corroding Pill was a Tier 4 poison pill. It was capable of poisoning a cultivator¡¯s bone marrows. Other than by using a special detoxification pill, no ordinarily-skilled cultivator would be able to fight the poison. Mo Wuji had never tried this pill after refining it. If not for the fact that he had obtained a spiritual herb component of the Bone Corroding Pill, he would never have refined it. The only reason he was swallowing the pill now was because he had sensed that this 103rd meridian was a detoxification meridian. In other words, with this meridian, he would no longer have to fear any poison. Other than this special function, this meridian would work no different from the others when Mo Wuji cultivated or fought. As the Bone Corroding Pill entered Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth, its poison began to work its way through his body. Usually, the poison would go straight toward every bone marrow in his body. He prepared himself to perform the Spiritual Energy Circulation Technique in order to direct the poison to the 103rd meridian. However, before he could even try, the poison was swallowed up by the detoxification meridian. In an instant, the poison dissipated, and turned into spiritual energy that could be used for training. The remaining waste from the pill was removed from his body through the reverse circulation technique. Such a reversal? Mo Wuji felt the effects of the Bone Corroding Pill gradually disappear. This was hard to believe, even for him. He quickly calmed himself down. The good things always came to those who never give up. It was precisely because he didn¡¯t give up, that he continued training, and moved on to invent the reversal circulation technique, and ultimately gained a 103rd meridian which acted as a detoxification meridian. From that day on, he would no longer have to fear being poisoned. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will made a sweep of the area. He could not decide between staying to train, or going out to search for Cen Shuyin. Even though he was almost certain she was dead by now, he couldn¡¯t rest until he had tried to search for her. Mo Wuji was stunned. Before, his spiritual will could not go far. Each time he tried, the Fierce Wind Beasts would block his path. Yet now, his spiritual will was travelling hundreds of metres with ease. Not even the Fierce Wind Beasts were bothering him. One could only imagine how strong his spiritual will would be in a place where there were no obstacles. After forming his own sea of consciousness, his spiritual will had gotten much stronger. It was steady in the face of the fiercest of winds. "Boom!" Another gust of fierce wind blew over. It had hit the boulder where Mo Wuji was. It shook. His heart stopped. These two boulders were like mountains. But if the wind were just a little stronger, they would have been blown away. While he was hesitant before, Mo Wuji was sure now. He rushed toward the fierce wind. He had come here with the intention of looking for Cen Shuyin. It wouldn¡¯t be right if he hid behind these boulders to train on his own. The moment he rushed toward the fierce wind, a few thorny whips of wind began to tear apart the skin on Mo Wuji¡¯s body. The only difference between his earlier situation and his current situation was that his body-protecting elemental energy was slightly stronger now. The whips of wind were thus doing slightly less damage than before. Mo Wuji retrieved the last defensive shield. He wanted to test how well the defensive shield worked now that his spiritual will had increased in power. Indeed, when the Fierce Wind Beasts carrying the thorny whips of wind hit the shield, the shield only shook violently. With the support of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, the wind did not snatch it away. Even though he remained in possession of the shield, Mo Wuji was sure of one thing. While he did have an additional meridian, it would not help him to withstand the fierce wind¡¯s continuous lashing. Once his elemental energy and spiritual will were exhausted, he would once again become a helpless lamb in the face of these fierce winds. Taking advantage of his power now, he used his spiritual will to search the surrounding area. Now that his spiritual will was stronger, he could sense a much larger area. Except, he could sense nothing more than fierce winds, rocks, and the occasional mountain-like boulders. "Whoo¡­ Boom¡­" The fierce wind carried up a rock, several square metres big. While Mo Wuji was not paying attention, the wind threw it at his shield. The raging wind¡¯s elemental energy fought back, and Mo Wuji was thrown across the air once again, just like a kite. While he was in the air, he was cut by countless rocks that flew by him. He understood that the dangers of Thorny Wind Gate were far more than the fierce winds or the whips of wind with hooks. Even the countless rocks that the fierce winds picked up were life-threatening. One could lose their lives, or at least their physical bodies, if the wind were to pick up a piece of rock and push it through one¡¯s head. If one lost his body here, Mo Wuji could think of no other consequence apart from death. If immortals could lose their bodies here, then could primordial spirits survive? "Bang!" At just the right time, Mo Wuji fell through a crack in the ground. If the fierce winds could roll into the crack, Mo Wuji, who was in True Lake Stages, would not be threatened. Looking out at the still raging wind, Mo Wuji felt incredibly frustrated. Here he was, in True Lake Stage, with formidable power, and yet still living like an ant in this place. If there was anything good about this place, it was that he could cultivate his spiritual will here. He had heard that there were martial artists who were solely dedicated to cultivating themselves. The strongest martial artists would thrive in a place like this. A whole hour had passed before the fierce wind calmed down slightly. Mo Wuji was just about to step out and continue his search, when he caught a glimpse of a piece of light green cloth. The cloth was clinging onto a dead branch, just further down from the opening he was in. One would not have noticed it if they hadn¡¯t paid close attention. Mo Wuji immediately moved downward, and stretched his arm out to retrieve that piece of cloth. This was the colour of the robe Cen Shuyin was wearing. He had seen her in it before. Cen Shuyin was always in the same, plain colours ¨C light green or light yellow. But it would be too much of a coincidence to say that this piece of cloth came from her clothing, wouldn¡¯t it? Given her skill, she wouldn¡¯t have much skin left on her by the time she reached this place, much less any clothes. Even so, Mo Wuji decided to follow the path through the opening to take a look. His spiritual will couldn¡¯t search inside the opening. He had no clue where the path led to. At some parts of the path, the space was so narrow that he had to walk sideways in order to get through. He walked inward for close to an hour before he came to a stop once again. He picked up a rock in his hand. The rock looked completely normal, save for a few cracks on it. Around the cracks were marks left by lightning bolts. Lightning Flash was originally invented by Mo Wuji. With one look, Mo Wuji could tell that these lightning bolt marks were caused by the Lightning Flash. Chapter 297: Dire Straits Chapter 297: Dire Straits Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Other than himself, only Cen Shuyin could perform the Lightning Flash. There were signs of somebody performing the Lightning Flash here. This meant that Cen Shuyin had been here, and she hadn¡¯t lost her ability to move. If Cen Shuyin had to perform the Lightning Flash here, does that mean that there were demonic beasts present? Demonic beasts that could survive in these conditions were certainly no ordinary beasts. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to cover the entire area. Within seconds, he discovered that a Howling Wind Beast had died a few hours ago. It lay outside an opening along a cliff and was blocking the path through the opening. As Mo Wuji approached the Howling Wind Beast, he deduced that it must have been past its youth. It was about 10 metres in length. Even though it was only 10 metres in length, this Howling Wind Beast¡¯s skill must have been frightening. It must have been comparable to someone who was early in True Lake Stage. Mo Wuji estimated that Cen Shuyin was probably only late in Yuan Dan Stage. Could she really have killed this Howling Wind Beast? A place like the Thorny Wind Gate was ideal for Howling Wind Beasts to live. Such a beast, early in True Lake Stage, must have been formidable. By pure logic, even if Cen Shuyin had been here, she would never have been able to defeat one. Mo Wuji studied the wounds on the beast. Indeed, they were caused by the Lightning Flash and sword art. Among these was a sword radiance that pierced straight through the Howling Wind Beast¡¯s dantian. Clearly, Cen Shuyin¡¯s sword art was not that much poorer than his Invisible Sword. He wondered what kind of sword art she performed. The wounds on the Howling Wind Beast made it clear ¨C Cen Shuyin had killed it. Mo Wuji once again used his spiritual will to make a sweep over the area. Despite sweeping all the way to the opening, he could not sense Cen Shuyin. The fierce winds outside seemed to have died down a little. Mo Wuji paused for a moment, before beginning to roll the Howling Wind Beast straight out of the opening. Given the way the wind was raging outside, this Howling Wind Beast would be ripped to pieces in no time. Mo Wuji started to fly out. Then, a thought surfaced in his mind. If he were Cen Shuyin, he would not have left just like that. Even though a Howling Wind Beast had entered this opening, it was much safer inside than it was outside. Once again, he used his spiritual will to sweep the area. He covered the same grounds as he did earlier, except this time, he tried to look on either side of the opening, among the cliffs. Indeed, Mo Wuji immediately sensed a cave. The entrance to this cave was blocked by many, many jagged rocks that lay haphazardly. Mo Wuji returned to the opening and hurriedly pushed aside the rocks. He entered the cave. Even though there only lay a few illuminating stones inside the cave, Mo Wuji spotted Cen Shuyin the moment he entered. Cen Shuyin¡¯s clothes were ripped into shreds. It was impossible to tell if what covered her neck and arms was soil or blood. Everything was a mess of brown. Mo Wuji gasped, and rushed to Cen Shuyin¡¯s side. He held her up, and realised that she was no longer breathing. His heart ached. Cen Shuyin was indeed an independent woman. And she was one of the highest calibre. If not for Xia Mu, there was no telling how far she would have made it. But something was not right. Cen Shuyin must have been here for a long time. If so, why was her body still soft? Mo Wuji quickly went to retrieve a pail of spring water, and began to clean Cen Shuyin up. After a short while, all of the soil was cleaned off of her body. However, what Mo Wuji saw took him by surprise. Not one inch of her body was spared from wounds. It was a good thing that she wore a body-protection suit, which protected all her vital organs. Otherwise, she would have been much worse off. Every part of her body from her forearms to her biceps, from her neck to her thighs, was covered in blood and battle wounds. Even her face was covered in streaks in all directions, which must have been caused by the whips of wind outside. Mo Wuji heaved a huge sigh. He wasn¡¯t surprised. When he had just entered Thorny Wind Gate, he was much worse off than Cen Shuyin. From the looks of it, the body-protection suit that Cen Shuyin was wearing was of high quality. It could even be the spiritual body-protection suit that he had, to that point, yet to encounter. Just when he was considering using his spiritual will to do a thorough check, he felt Cen Shuyin¡¯s heartbeat weakly. Then, it went still. If not for the fact that he had been holding her, he would not have felt it. The weak pulse that he had just felt confirmed his suspicions. She was still alive, or at least, she was not completely dead. She still had a chance to live, and that was only probably because she had used some deep sleep cultivation technique. The major sects were indeed highly knowledgeable. Mo Wuji had only heard of such a technique, but had not actually encountered it. Cen Shuyin, on the other hand, came from the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s Sword Lake. This technique was familiar to her. Mo Wuji had to find out if Cen Shuyin was still alive. Since she wasn¡¯t responding to his calls, he used his spiritual will to check her spirit channels. Anyway, Cen Shuyin lay in his arms, naked except for what the remaining of the body-protection suit covered. Moreover, given her state, the view was not pleasing to the eye. Yet, wasn¡¯t he similar? In fact, he was much worse than her. One could not afford to wear clothes in such a place, and he didn¡¯t have a body-protection suit like she did. True Lake Stage? Mo Wuji was shocked when his spiritual will came to Cen Shuyin¡¯s elemental lake. The only reason he could reach True Lake Stage was that all hundred-over meridians of his were absorbing spiritual energy at the same time. That was all thanks to his modified reverse circulation technique. Cen Shuyin was only of a better calibre naturally ¨C yet she had also reached True Lake Stage. From the looks of it, the training conditions in Zhen Mo Continent were a thousand times better than those in the Lost Continent. But now, Cen Shuyin¡¯s elemental lake was dry. There wasn¡¯t a drop of elemental energy left. What¡¯s worse, her elemental lake had signs of damage. She was in her final stage in life ¨C no wonder she had to go into a deep sleep. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even sense her willpower. Clearly, even her soul was badly injured. Suddenly, two drops of tears formed at the corners of Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes. They flowed down her temples. Mo Wuji empathised. Cen Shuyin was a lady after all. It was already bad enough that he was looking at her while she lay exposed. Now, he was even using his spiritual will to study her internally. However, he had no choice. Even if he could put a coat around her now, it would still be ripped to shreds when they stepped out. And he had to use his spiritual will to check on her. He couldn¡¯t possibly leave her to die. Cen Shuyin¡¯s entire body was trembling by now. Mo Wuji quickly retrieved a piece of clothing and used it to cover her body. He apologised, "Senior Cen, I am Mo Wuji. We can talk after I save you. Please don¡¯t be agitated. If you continue this way, I won¡¯t be able to help you." Cen Shuyin was dying ¨C her wounds couldn¡¯t even begin to heal. If she carried on this way, her soul would definitely leave her body. After hearing his words, Cen Shuyin¡¯s body gradually stopped trembling. Slowly, she became more still. Yet, the tears continued to flow from her eyes. She was obviously ashamed. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to delve deeper into the cave. He found that deep inside was an empty area, of about 200 to 300 square metres. From the looks of it, that place belonged to the Howling Wind Beast. For the Howling Wind Beast to have found such a place to live in Thorny Wind Gate, it must have been quite capable. Mo Wuji only felt the rich spiritual energy when he arrived at the Howling Wind Beast¡¯s resting place. The spiritual energy in Thorny Wind Gate was already considered impressive. Not long ago, he had made use of these conditions to break out of Yuan Dan Stage and enter True Lake Stage. However, the spiritual energy in this place was much purer and richer. In his heart, he decided that no matter what, he had to stay here to train for a period of time. If he didn¡¯t take advantage of such a place, his trip here would be wasted. Carefully, Mo Wuji lay Cen Shuyin down atop a boulder. Then, he began to tear apart the cloth that he had covered her with earlier. If he wanted to save her, he had to first treat her physical wounds. Otherwise, what would there be to save? He began to grind 2 Clear Jade Pills into powder, before rubbing the powder onto her wounds. He took 2 more Clear Jade Pills and fed them to Cen Shuyin. The Clear Jade Pill was Mo Wuji¡¯s best medicine used to treat wounds. It was a Tier 5 wound-healing spiritual pill. It would completely heal the physical wounds on Cen Shuyin¡¯s body, but it would not help her to regain consciousness. Since she was barely breathing, she was not able to swallow the Clear Jade Pills that he had put into her mouth. He had no choice but to help her refine the pills. With his strong spiritual will and a large amount of his elemental energy, he helped her to absorb the Clear Jade Pills in a matter of minutes. The Clear Jade Pills started to take effect. Her wounds gradually disappeared, and her skin slowly became clear again. 4 hours passed. On the outside, Cen Shuyin had almost fully recovered. The skin on her neck and arms were fair once again. Now, Mo Wuji truly appreciated how perfect Cen Shuyin¡¯s body was. If Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t known better, he would think that Cen Shuyin had fully recovered. At least, that was how she appeared. However, he was well aware that Cen Shuyin remained gravely injured internally. For one, her Elemental Energy Lake was still dried up. In addition, Cen Shuyin was incapable of absorbing spiritual energy to aid her own recovery. Mo Wuji also realised that apart from the body-protection suit that she was wearing, Cen Shuyin had nothing left on her. Even her ring was gone, nowhere to be found. He let out a huge sigh, "Senior Cen, I am limited by my abilities. I can only help you to this point¡­" Suddenly, he remembered something. While he couldn¡¯t sense Cen Shuyin¡¯s willpower, it didn¡¯t mean that it was completely gone. The fact that she could still shed tears earlier was proof that she was only very weak now. Mo Wuji could not help to return her elemental lake to its original state. But he did have something that would help to heal Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul. The Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. This was the premium spiritual herb, that was highly effective in healing the soul. It could heal even the gravest injuries to the soul. Not only had he used it on himself before, he had also used it to save Jing Lengbei. Without further hesitation, he retrieved the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower. He peeled a petal and placed it into Cen Shuyin¡¯s mouth. Chapter 298: You Are Not Him Chapter 298: You Are Not Him Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Feeding Cen Shuyin the Clear Jade Pill was different. After eating the Clear Jade Pill, Cen Shuyin still needed Mo Wuji to refine the effects of the pill. The Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower crystals melted away the moment they entered Cen Shuyin¡¯s mouth, as if they were swallows returning to their nest. Mo Wuji studied Cen Shuyin intently. In the time that it took to burn half a joss stick, Mo Wuji could distinctly feel that Cen Shuyin¡¯s life was coming back to her. Two hours passed. Mo Wuji caught a hint of a pulse in Cen Shuyin. Although Mo Wuji was still unsure if Cen Shuyin¡¯s strength was restored, he was sure that she would survive. A day passed. Cen Shuyin¡¯s breathing was steady. It was as if she had secretly adjusted her own condition. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t sense Cen Shuyin absorbing any spiritual energy. Clearly, she wasn¡¯t able to cultivate spiritual energy ¨C she was merely regaining her vitality. He heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Junior Mo," Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes fluttered open. Her voice was feeble. "Senior Cen, all I did was wait for you to wake up. I didn¡¯t save you. Instead, I could¡¯ve caused you to remain comatose forever." Mo Wuji quickly replied. Cen Shuyin knew what he meant. If she couldn¡¯t cultivate spiritual energy when she regained consciousness, she would be no different from remaining comatose. She remained silent. Lifting her eyes to gaze out of the Howling Wind Beast¡¯s Cave, she didn''t even bother to ask how Mo Wuji got there. It was as if all of this did not matter to her anymore. Mo Wuji, not knowing how to comfort Cen Shuyin, also remained quiet. They remained this way for several minutes. Then, Cen Shuyin slowly turned around to face Mo Wuji. Weakly, she asked, "Junior Mo, you came over from the Lost Continent. You must have heard about Rogue Cultivator 2705. Is he alright?" He replied, "I have heard. He¡¯s doing very well. Actually¡­" "You know, I was sent to him by Dean Feng. Although he wouldn¡¯t admit it, I wasn¡¯t planning on looking for another partner. When I was fighting off the Howling Wind Beast with all of my strength and might, the only person I wanted to see was him¡­." Cen Shuyin¡¯s voice seemed to come from a distance. She was talking to herself, yet explaining to Mo Wuji at the same time. "¡­" Mo Wuji never imagined that she would say that. Hearing her hurt voice, and seeing that she was lost in her own memories, Mo Wuji quickly said, "Since he wouldn¡¯t admit it, then all of this shouldn¡¯t matter. You shouldn¡¯t take any of it to heart." Cen Shuyin shook her head slightly. "You don¡¯t understand. My heart was more at peace while I was his partner. I got him into this. When I was dying, I really wanted to tell him that I¡¯m not a bad woman¡­ and that I really didn''t mean to get him involved¡­" Mo Wuji breathed in deeply. Gravely, he explained, "Senior Cen, listen to me. Actually, I am Rogue Cultivator 2705. I know you didn¡¯t mean for Rogue Cultivator 2705 to get into trouble with Star King Mountain¡¯s Xia clan. I don¡¯t blame you at all. Instead, I¡¯m worried because your injuries are not healing well, and¡­" Cen Shuyin¡¯s controlled her expression. Keeping her gaze outside of the cave, she gently replied, "You are Mo Wuji. You are not him. I¡¯m sorry, Junior Mo. I can only have one partner in this life." Mo Wuji was born intelligent, and after all that has happened, his EQ was not low either. Cen Shuyin emphasised twice that she could only have 1 partner in her life ¨C Rogue Cultivator 2705. He understood. Cen Shuyin had known from the beginning that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. However, she either did not want a partner or she had some form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Or, possibly, she was worried that he had only come to rescue her because he fancied her, so she was looking for an excuse ¨C any excuse ¨C to reject him. Fortunately, Mo Wuji did not mind at all. He appreciated Cen Shuyin, but he rescued her not because he fancied her. He only did so because she was his benefactor. Otherwise, he might have pitied her but he would never have come to Thorny Wind Gate. He, Mo Wuji, had reason for everything that he did. He wouldn¡¯t simply do what others wanted him to. It did not matter to him what Cen Shuyin thought, so he didn¡¯t bother to ask how she knew that he was Rogue Cultivator 2705. It was best not to even discuss this topic. In fact, other than the old Yan Er whom he still cherished in his heart, no woman moved Mo Wuji. Not even one as beautiful as Cen Shuyin. The old Yan Er? When he thought of her, Mo Wuji suddenly began to empathise with Cen Shuyin. If his beloved Yan Er of old had met with any sort of danger, he would definitely have risked his life to rescue her. But could he really treat the present Yan Er the same way? Maybe the man who Cen Shuyin couldn¡¯t forget was the Rogue Cultivator 2705 who held her as she was dying. Mo Wuji shook his head slightly. Just as he was about to change the topic, Cen Shuyin suddenly said, "Sister Suting said she has never seen a rogue cultivator in Channel Opening Stage participating in the Five Elements Pill Competition ¨C much less use his mortal hands to concoct pills and earn entry into Five Elements Desolate Domain. She has also never seen a rogue cultivator in Channel Opening Stage, daring to search for the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal in Five Elements Desolate Domain alone, and succeeding. Even if this rogue cultivator hadn¡¯t said a word, she could guess that he must have been through the hardest of times, and have come face-to-face with death countless times." "Sister Suting?" Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin was referring to him, but he had no idea who this Sister Suting was. Only Zhen Shaoke knew of all these things that he had experienced. Right, and that Linglong knew too. After speaking for some time, Cen Shuyin was looking much better than before. She also seemed to have more energy than before. "Sister Suting is the head of the Heaven Seeking Palace, Bei Suting. We came to Zhen Mo Continent together. On the plane here, Sister Suting insisted that we refer to her as Senior and not Dean." Sister Suting knows of all these things because Granny Linglong gave her a portion of the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, which helped her to regain her divine spirit. If not for the fact that Granny Linglong said, ¡®Your path is yours to make,¡¯ so that she wouldn¡¯t bother you, Sister Suting would have looked for you long ago. Later, when Granny Linglong went missing, Sister Suting couldn¡¯t find you despite her efforts." Pausing for a while, Cen Shuyin continued, "Maybe nobody would have thought that you did all that you did because of a maid who used to be at your side. Maybe Sister Suting didn¡¯t know that you lay your life on the line once again to save Yan Er in Thunder Fog Forest. I¡¯m afraid there is none other like you in this entire universe. You¡¯re willing to exchange your own life for that of a slave. Yan Er is one lucky woman, and you are one faithful man. I believe that one day, Yan Er will appreciate all that you have sacrificed for her." Cen Shuyin¡¯s voice became weaker as she slowly lowered her head. She didn¡¯t know why she said all of this, when in her heart she knew that Mo Wuji had similarly risked his life to enter Thorny Wind Gate. What remained of the clothes he wore were pieces of cloth, clinging on to his body. Scars from the whips of wind covered his exposed skin. She guessed that the torture that Mo Wuji had experienced here was comparable to hers. In fact, she probably could live only because he had risked his life to save her. Maybe she had said so much so that she would stop thinking of these things. Yet, she couldn¡¯t forget. In some ways, she was like Mo Wuji. She couldn¡¯t forget the favours that others did for her, much less if the person saved her life. "Senior Cen, now that you have exhausted your potential, can you still recover? Or at least cultivate your potential again?" Mo Wuji initiated the diversion in conversation, because he no longer wanted to discuss the topic. Whether Cen Shuyin¡¯s words served to remind him not to forget Yan Er, or to remind herself of something, Mo Wuji did not want to pry further. He didn''t even want to ask if Linglong wanted to obtain the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower because of Bei Suting. Cen Shuyin pulled her clothes tighter around herself, and her facial expression slowly became natural again. "If not for your Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, I wouldn¡¯t have regained consciousness. I wouldn¡¯t even be able to recover forever. Now, my divine spirit is slowly recuperating. In two months, I should be fully recovered," Cen Shuyin forced herself to suppress the immense gratitude that she felt toward him. She couldn¡¯t have a partner. At the same time, she believed that Yan Er would one day return to Mo Wuji. Rejoicing, Mo Wuji said, "I was planning to train here for a few months too. Oh yes, this ring is for you. Let me take out its contents¡­" When he was done, Mo Wuji took out a ring and handed it over to Cen Shuyin. A whole bunch of other things also landed on the ground in front of her. Spirit stones, medicinal pills, spiritual items, clothes¡­ Cen Shuyin stared, surprised, at the ring that Mo Wuji had handed to her, along with everything that lay in front of her. She couldn¡¯t figure out how Mo Wuji could casually take out a storage ring. Without waiting for her to speak, Mo Wuji got up and moved to the other side of the room. He began to practise. Cen Shuyin stared dumbfounded at all the things she had just received. She began to shudder inwardly. What if, one day, she found out that she could never repay Mo Wuji for all that he has done for her? After a long while, she slowly retrieved the exquisite flying car from the bunch of items. In her head, she replayed what she had said to Mo Wuji, "If one day, you think of selling this flying car, please sell it back to me." Now, he has returned the flying car to her. He had not sold it away, and he had not sold it to her ¨C he had given it to her. She felt a gust of spiritual energy stir like a whirlpool. Cen Shuyin lifted her head and was shocked to find that Mo Wuji cultivated spiritual energy at a speed that far exceeded hers. Yet, she was in True Lake Stage¡­ The only explanation was that Mo Wuji, like herself, was in True Lake Stage too. In that instant, she finally understood why Mo Wuji survived the journey to Zhen Mo Continent. If the quality of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual roots was considered poor, then no cultivator in this entire world could say that the quality of theirs was superior ¨C not even Cen Shuyin herself. Even in a cultivation haven like Zhen Mo Continent, and even if her spiritual roots were incomparably superior, if Cen Shuyin did not work hard, she would only be able to catch the back view of Mo Wuji after a while. Chapter 299: The Grand Concealment Array That Never Formed Chapter 299: The Grand Concealment Array That Never Formed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was quickly consumed by intense training to absorb spiritual energy. Training in this place was a thousand times better than training between those two boulders back when he was promoted to True Lake Stage. Not only did he no longer have to worry that a typhoon would suddenly sweep away his boulders, the spiritual energy here was purer and richer. Obviously, the Howling Wind Beast was very good at spotting training grounds ¨C he found such an excellent one. His training speed now was clearly much higher since all his 103 meridians were absorbing spiritual energy at the same time. He was sure that the reverse circulation technique was not only adding one meridian at a time to his body now. After a short period of ten days, Mo Wuji¡¯s violet elemental lake was nearly overflowing. After half a month, he entered Level 2 of True Lake Stage without difficulty. The violet elemental lake in Mind Palace once again expanded. The bigger the elemental lake, the more difficult it was to level up. Normally, people in True Lake Stage would take years to fill up the elemental lake, no matter how quickly they trained. Yet, Mo Wuji¡¯s pace of training was so intense that his violet elemental lake was filled to the brim in merely 3 months. Violet energy surged in the lake, as if it contained an infinite amount of power. After a few months, Cen Shuyin¡¯s elemental lake had already reverted to its ordinary state. In fact, her elemental lake was filled, and her skills had improved. Yet, in that moment, she was no longer training. Instead, she was staring dumbfounded at Mo Wuji. She thought she was fast. So did all the cultivators from the Lost Continent, who trained at the speed of light initially. This wasn¡¯t about how much better the cultivators from the Lost Continent were compared to those from the Zhen Mo Continent. However, the Lost Continent cultivators¡¯ training grounds had been so bad that when they came to Zhen Mo Continent ¨C this training haven ¨C their progress was incredible. It was this change in training environment that helped her to advance from Level 3 of Yuan Dan Stage to Level 1 of True Lake Stage in a few years. Yet, in this moment, looking at Mo Wuji¡¯s training speed, she knew that she was a snail compared to him. She couldn¡¯t figure it out. How could Mo Wuji, who looked like he lacked spiritual flow, actually be so divine in skill? "Boom!" The surging violet energy burst out of the lake. Mo Wuji once again broke boundaries ¨C he had reached Level 3 of True Lake Stage. Mo Wuji was overwhelmed with one feeling. The powerful violet energy penetrated every single cell in his body. If someone early in Nihility God Stage were to challenge him at this moment, he would confidently rise to the challenge. "Senior Cen, you have recovered?" Mo Wuji questioned, surprised. He saw Cen Shuyin staring at him intently when he had opened his eyes. Cen Shuyin rose to her feet. She noticed that Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes looked slightly big for him. Her looks were once again perfect. Her eyes were clear as crystal ¨C Mo Wuji could see his own reflection in them. Yet, her perfect features shaped a look of pure shock. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jumped. It certainly was not his first time looking at her beautiful face. Yet, each time he laid his eyes on her, he felt the same amazement. It didn¡¯t help that he had seen her body before, and knew that it was every bit as beautiful as her face. It was no wonder that Xia Mu could not get over her. "I¡¯m much better¡­" Cen Shuyin replied, not knowing what else to say. Mo Wuji dreaded leaving. Although he felt a decline in the surrounding spiritual energy after training for a few months, he still wanted to continue training there for some time. "Senior Cen, the Xia Clan from Star King Mountain is out to kill me, and vice versa. Therefore, I plan to remain here to train for a while longer. I will only have hope of surviving if I become stronger." Mo Wuji made his situation clear for fear that Cen Shuyin would want to leave immediately. He continued, "Senior Cen, I¡¯d advise you to remain here to train for a while too. And¡­ the next time you try to escape, avoid isolated grounds. We¡¯re lucky that we managed to find this place. Otherwise, who knows if we would have survived? This time, we lucked out to find the Howling Wind Beast¡¯s Cave, hehe¡­" To say, "who knows if we would have survived?" was incredibly tactful on Mo Wuji¡¯s part. In his heart, he was well aware that if they had not found the Howling Wind Beast¡¯s Cave, he would not be here cultivating his skills. He would be running for his life from the fierce wind. And Cen Shuyin would probably be six feet under. Cen Shuyin was confused on hearing his words. She questioned, "You think this is the Howling Wind Beast¡¯s Cave?" Mo Wuji started, and replied, "You mean it isn¡¯t?" She shook her head, "No. You saw the Howling Wind Beast outside the opening, only because I had found this place. It wanted to take over this place. That¡¯s why we ended up in a battle outside the opening. I was no match for the Howling Wind Beast. I had to resort to the forbidden technique ¨C only then was I able to defeat it. Then, I pulled myself back in here. If not for your Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, I would have died in a matter of months." "You found this place?" Mo Wuji looked at Cen Shuyin in utter surprise. Even with his skill, he would survive for only a short while at best in this Thorny Wind Gate. If he was lucky, he may have chanced upon the opening. However, he would never have found the cave behind the opening. Cen Shuyin nodded, "I was chased by Xia Mu all the way to space. At space, my cultivation progress sped up. By chance, I hid atop a meteor. Among some bones on the meteor, I picked up a ring. The ring contained a lot of cultivation resources and a map. It was a map of Thorny Wind Gate." Thoughtlessly, Cen Shuyin moved to retrieve the map from her ring. Then, she realised that the ring in her hands was no longer the same ring she had picked up from the meteor. Instead, it was the ring that Mo Wuji had given her. "At first, I had no intention of coming over. I wanted to remain on that meteor to train¡­" Mo Wuji immediately understood. If it were him, he wouldn¡¯t have come to Thorny Wind Gate ¨C one of the Nine Extreme Realms ¨C just because of one map. "Thanks to the resources from that ring, I progressed to True Lake Stage. But when I did, people from the Xia Clan discovered my whereabouts. I had no choice, I had to keep running, so I came to Thorny Wind Gate." Cen Shuyin¡¯s tone remained steady. However, at the mention of "Thorny Wind Gate", Mo Wuji noticed that her eyes were filled with fear and terror. "If not for my progress to True Lake Stage, and my body-protection suit, I would have died here a long time ago." Mo Wuji had seen Cen Shuyin¡¯s pitiful state with his own eyes. Of course, he believed every word that Cen Shuyin had said. "I consider myself lucky. When I arrived here, I was immediately brought to a temporary col that the fierce winds had cleared out. In the col, I memorised every last line of the map as fast as I could. I knew that the col which the fierce winds had cleared out would not last very long." Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes were filled with fear once again. "Indeed, in just a day, the fierce winds swallowed the col, taking me along with it. If not for the fact that I was in True Lake Stage, I would have died. But even so, I was severely injured. Just when I was about to give up, I noticed that the map was marked at a certain spot." "This is the spot?" Mo Wuji curiously asked. Cen Shuyin shook her head. "No, that spot is about 5760m away. The spot marked on the map was the place where 5 flag arrays were hidden. If you follow the directions on the map and obtain those 5 flag arrays, an opening would appear. I obtained those flag arrays, and an opening indeed appeared before my eyes." It was then that Mo Wuji understood. The opening that he had entered earlier was only there because Cen Shuyin had obtained those flag arrays. "If not for this opening, I¡¯m afraid I would not have found this place. I followed in the direction of the opening, and quickly made my way here. However, not far from here, a Howling Wind Beast spotted me. You know what happened after that¡­" Mo Wuji once again questioned, "Senior Cen, you retrieved a map earlier. Could it be that the map was made to locate this training cave?" Although this place was not bad, people wouldn¡¯t go so far as to create a map for it, right? Cen Shuyin shook her head, "No, this place is just outside of where I am headed. Inside here, there are concealment arrays." Concealment arrays? Mo Wuji immediately began to search. However, he did so in vain. Although he could not formulate any high grade arrays, he was relatively well-versed in the array dao. He could obtain clues from the high grade arrays. "This concealment array will only appear after I place the five flag arrays in their designated positions. But I have lost all of my flag arrays¡­" Cen Shuyin sounded dejected. She had already done so well in finding this place, yet she had lost the five flag arrays. "Tell me where the flag arrays should be," Mo Wuji said. He suspected that he could not see the arrays because the concealment array was missing. Once the five flag arrays were in the right positions, the array would appear. Cen Shuyin remembered clearly that she had walked around this cave and marked out 5 spots. Mo Wuji immediately retrieved five flag arrays, and headed down toward the five spots that Cen Shuyin had marked out. However, when he had placed the five flag arrays in their positions, there was no change. He frowned slightly. Although he wasn¡¯t the best at the array dao, he wasn¡¯t considered poor either. Moreover, he had placed the flag arrays at their designated locations ¨C this had nothing to do with his standard of array dao. "Could this have something to do with the five elements? My master told me that a lot of array circles are formed according to the elements of heaven and earth¡­" Cen Shuyin hesitated to suggest this. She saw that Mo Wuji was getting frustrated. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart skipped a beat. How could he not have thought of this? He immediately took out five flag arrays that had attributes of the five elements. Then, he placed them in the positions that Cen Shuyin had marked out. Just as Mo Wuji placed the last flag in its place, there came thundering roars from every direction. There were sounds of rocks falling onto the ground. Cen Shuyin was rooted to the ground. After Mo Wuji had let go of the flag, the concealment array did not appear. Instead, their only escape route was blocked. Chapter 300: Escaping Wind Chapter 300: Escaping Wind Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was not disappointed; instead, he heaved a sigh of relief. Even though these five array flags had been fallen, no entrance was opened and it even sealed the exit up. However, it allowed Mo Wuji to see the concealment array. Cen Shuyin was right, there was indeed a concealment array. Mo Wuji guessed that when the five original array flags were replaced, not only would the exit be sealed, the concealment array would appear and new passages would emerge. He wasn''t able to fully accomplish that was definitely related to the array flag. He was using the array flags forged by Xing Huang, it was expected that it might pale in quality. To others who don''t know of the array dao, they would be completely stumped at this point. But Mo Wuji was different. When he reached this step, he knew how to uncover the hidden entrances. Mo Wuji fetched out a few array flags and threw them out. When the array flags were in place, a subtle spatial ripple appeared; Mo Wuji swung down towards this spatial ripple. "Boom!" Huge patches of rock and rubble exploded, revealing a long passage in front of Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin. Cen Shuyin was inwardly shocked at Mo Wuji''s power and knowledge over arrays. She had also interacted with the array dao before, but this place looked no different from any typical place. However, Mo Wuji was able to make use of array flags and reveal the location of the hidden passage. Moreover, Mo Wuji only needed a single strike from his pole to open up the entrance to the passage. Ostensibly, Mo Wuji''s power was multiple times of hers; no wonder why Mo Wuji was able to get here. What she didn¡¯t know was that when Mo Wuji had first arrived, he hadn¡¯t even advanced into the True Lake Stage and he almost perished under the tumultuous and crazed Thorny Wind Whip. "Follow behind me, we''ll go in and take a look. The spiritual energy inside is richer, so there''s definitely something good." Mo Wuji gestured towards Cen Shuyin and started to walk in. The passage was only slightly inclined downwards, it wasn¡¯t an especially steep descent. As they walked through the passage, Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin could tell the two walls of the passage were made from rock far harder than the toughest smithing material. After all, facing the constant beating from the rushing winds of the Thorny Wind Gate, any soft rock would have long weathered away without a trace. The passage was not considered long; the two merely walked for half an incense''s time before reaching the end. At the end, there was a stone space which resembled a room. The stone room was simple, there was a futon at the center and above the futon was a stone table. Atop the stone table lay two legacy crystal balls. By the side of the table, there was a row of words: Those who wish to succeed me are to kneel ~ Typhoon. Mo Wuji never expected that this deeply hidden place would actually be a legacy holding. Cen Shuyin looked at Mo Wuji and said, "I have the legacy of my sect. You''re a rogue cultivator so you should succeed this legacy. I wonder what kind of person this Senior Typhoon was, to actually leave behind his legacy within the Thorny Wind Gate." Mo Wuji shook his head, "I have my own legacy, I don''t need this one. Moreover, you were the one who discovered this location, meaning that you are the fated one." Mo Wuji was not being pretentious, he really didn''t care much about the legacy. Instead, it was the rich spiritual energy which interested him; it was a good place to cultivate. Cen Shuyin saw that Mo Wuji did not seem to be lying. She knew he was not a pretentious person, so she took a few steps forward and looked at the two crystal balls. After a brief hesitation, she still chose to kneel on the futon. A wave of rich spirituality instantly danced and wrapped around Cen Shuyin,bring with it a hum of beautiful music. The two legacy crystal balls flew by themselves, landing within Cen Shuyin''s hands. As Cen Shuyin grasped the two crystal balls, her entire body went slack, her hands even started to tremble constantly. Mo Wuji even thought that something had went wrong with Cen Shuyin, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, are you okay?" Cen Shuyin barely calmed herself down. Taking her deep breath, she brought one of her trembling arms in front of Mo Wuji and offered the crystal ball, "This is for you¡­" Even though Mo Wuji could see that Cen Shuyin genuinely wanted to give him this crystal ball, he could also see the desire in Cen Shuyin''s eyes. Clearly, Cen Shuyin also strongly desired the legacy from this crystal ball. Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with doubt. He knew that Cen Shuyin offered the crystal ball to him to repay his saving grace. After all, Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of Cen Shuyin''s personality. However, he did not understand what on earth this thing could be for Cen Shuyin to want it so badly. He casually received the crystal ball and scanned it with his spiritual will before asking doubtfully, "I''m not able to read anything from the legacy crystal ball unless I accept the legacy. What is it?" Cen Shuyin said with a quivering voice, "This is an Immortal Grade legacy technique - Typhoon Formula." Immortal Grade technique? Mo Wuji''s heart reverberated with shock. The highest graded technique he knew was at the Treasured Heaven Grade. The Immortal Grade was above that and was even rumoured to be able to allow a cultivator to fly. Flight, this was a thing of legend. Regardless of the Lost Continent or the Zhen Mo Continent, he had never heard of anyone flying. Those who could cultivate to become a Worldly Immortal was already as rare as a Phoenix feather or a Qilin horn. What more those who could fly? The inability of flight did not necessarily mean that there was a problem with a cultivator''s talent or resources. Most of the time, it was because the cultivator was lacking a supreme cultivation technique. He finally understood the desire within Cen Shuyin''s eyes. A manual which could cultivate flight, which cultivator wouldn''t want that? If he didn''t create his own cultivation technique, his thirst for this manual might even be stronger than Cen Shuyin. If this manual was exposed, definitely all the experts on the planet would come rushing over to fight for it; countless of them would die in the process. If not for her wish to repay his gratitude, Cen Shuyin definitely wouldn''t bear to offer up this Typhoon Formula. "If I''m not wrong, you should have ice-affinity spiritual roots?" Mo Wuji asked plainly. To others, an Immortal Grade technique might be something they would madly scramble over but Mo Wuji didn''t really care much for it. His Immortal Mortal Technique was merely a Mortal Grade technique, but with his modification, it had become a completely different technique from the Immortal Mortal Technique. It was very different from every other technique. It was the reverse circulation technique. This technique was extremely compatible with him, allowing him to cultivate at an superb pace. Not only an Immortal Grade technique, even if it was above the Immortal Grade, he would not change his cultivation technique. Moreover, he only needed a single glance to tell that the Typhoon Formula was a wind-type cultivation technique. Even if he wanted to change, he wouldn''t be able to do so. Cen Shuyin nodded, "Yes, but I had a hidden series of spiritual roots, which are wind-affinity spiritual roots. Wind-type cultivation techniques are the rarest among unique elemental spiritual roots. That''s why my master got me to develop my ice-affinity spiritual roots." Mo Wuji handed the Typhoon Formula back to Cen Shuyin, "Senior apprentice sister Cen, this technique is not suitable for me. Since you have succeeded the legacy and you also have wind-affinity spiritual roots, you should keep it for yourself." Cen Shuyin stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment, she never expected for a person to not be tempted by an Immortal Grade technique. Even if he didn''t use it on himself, he could still exchange it for copious amounts of cultivation resources. Soon, she came to an understanding. Mo Wuji was a person who would risk his life to save a female slave; giving up on an Immortal Grade technique was not something out of the ordinary. After all, he was not an ordinary human. "Then I will pass this to you," Mo Wuji handed over the other crystal ball to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not even take a look, directly pushing it back to her, "Thanks, but I have my own cultivation technique and skills. I truly do not need this¡­" "It''s an escaping art, the Wind Escape Technique¡­" The moment Cen Shuyin uttered those words, Mo Wuji immediately stopped continuing on what he wanted to say. If there was something that was still appealing to him, it would be an escaping art of the five elements. If there was something that could attract his attention, it would an escaping art of the five elements. What he lacked the most now was an escaping art and among all escaping arts, the elemental ones were the best. The wind-type escaping arts were even more attractive than those of the five elements. Now, Cen Shuyin actually obtained just that. Mo Wuji instantly turned awkward; he had already rejected it, but now that Cen Shuyin mentioned that it was the Wind Escape Technique, it would be a little disgraceful to take back his words. "Unfortunately, this Wind Escape Technique was comprehended by Senior Typhoon, to pass it onto a second person would cause it to drop by a grade¡­" "Why?" Mo Wuji interrupted Cen Shuyin''s words and asked doubtfully. Cen Shuyin explained, "According to the explanation Senior Typhoon left behind in his legacy that the strongest Wind Escape Technique is based upon the enlightenments from the Escaping Wind. If this person passed down the Wind Escape Technique as a legacy, it would be a different Wind Escape Technique based on his attainment over the wind element." "Gaining enlightenment of the Wind Escape Technique from the escaping wind? What does that mean?" Mo Wuji was completely unable to comprehend Cen Shuyin''s words. Cen Shuyin continued, "Senior Typhoon said that the Escaping Wind is a naturally born spiritual grass. This spiritual grass is extremely rare and it seemed no different from any ordinary grass. Because this little grass does not have any spiritual energy, it does not have any dao halos, nor does it have any tier¡­ The only difference that sets this little grass apart is that the entire grass is full of with wind runes, giving it a grey colour¡­" Escaping Wind is a type of grass? Don''t I have one of this grass that Cen Shuyin is talking about? Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart; he never expected that he would actually obtain such a heaven defying treasure from that battle between the two Howling Wind Beasts. With the Escaping Wind, why would Mo Wuji still care about this Wind Escape Technique legacy? Seeing Cen Shuyin push the Wind Escape Technique back towards him, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to push it back again, "I don''t need this too." Cen Shuyin was stunned as she stared at Mo Wuji; if Mo Wuji rejected everything, then she really didn''t know what to do. There were only two things here; Mo Wuji had already given the Immortal Grade technique up to her, and now he was letting her have the Wind Escape Technique too? "Originally, I did need an escaping art, but from your words, I found out that I already have a strain of Escaping Wind. I¡¯ve decided to stay here to gain enlightenment over the Wind Escape Technique, an escaping art is extremely important to me. This place is rich in spiritual energy, you should stay here too and accept the legacy." Mo Wuji did not hide anything. He didn''t even ask for Cen Shuyin to thank him. "Alright," When Cen Shuyin understood the reason why Mo Wuji rejected the Wind Escape Technique, she felt that Mo Wuji was especially dashing. Chapter 301: Honing The Wind Escape Technique Chapter 301: Honing The Wind Escape Technique Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Cen Shuyin needed to accept the legacies of the Typhoon Formula and the Wind Escape Technique while Mo Wuji needed to borrow the assistance of the Escaping Wind grass to gain enlightenment on his own Wind Escape Technique. Thus, the stone room had been separated by Mo Wuji, each of them would occupy half of the room so that they won''t disrupt one another''s rumination. Mo Wuji carefully took out the jade box containing the Escaping Wind and retrieved that strain of Escaping Wind. Previously, he guessed that the thing the two Class 7 Howling Wind Beasts were fighting over definitely wouldn''t be simple, it was sure to be a wind-type treasure. Now that he discovered the uses of the Escaping Wind, it was indeed as he predicted; it was truly a great wind-type treasure. The Escaping Wind had been left inside for so long but there wasn''t even half a bit of change to it; it was still a light grey colour and there were unfathomable runes on the surface of the grass. Unfortunately, Cen Shuyin did not obtain any information on how to gain enlightenment from the Escaping Wind, so he could only fumble around by himself. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will seeped into the tiny grass and there still wasn''t any change. This time, Mo Wuji did not give up, his spiritual will continued to orbit around the tiny grass. After multiple hours, the tiny grass finally showed a bit of reaction. Mo Wuji immediately started cultivating with his reverse circulation technique, and as he cultivated, he absorbed the grass¡¯s energy into his meridians, checking whether this method could allow him to feel the Wind Dao within the Escaping Wind. But another day passed and there still wasn¡¯t any change in the little grass. Initially, Mo Wuji still absorbed the wind energy in his cultivation to comprehend the Wind Dao. But after three days, Mo Wuji no longer cared about gaining insights from the Escaping Wind, but was completely occupied in his own cultivation. As Mo Wuji¡¯s attention was diverted from the Escaping Wind, the Escaping Wind, on the contrary, started to disappear. In just three days, the little grass in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands vanished completely. At this instant, Mo Wuji also opened his eyes; he saw the vanished Escaping Wind grass and immediately went blank. He hadn¡¯t even ruminated over the Escaping Wind, but this grass¡­ That¡¯s not right. Mo Wuji suddenly felt like he had developed an insight towards the wind, it was as though he could merge himself with the wind. Mo Wuji stood up. As he got up, his body caused some ripples within the wind. He hurried to grab the fine wind essence within these ripples. His body slightly dazzled, and he suddenly appeared within a different corner of the room. There were no sudden disruptions nor were there any obstacles. This was the Wind Escape Technique? Mo Wuji finally came to a realisation. No wonder why that Senior Typhoon claimed that the Wind Escape Technique enlightened by the Escaping Wind was the strongest. His Wind Escape Technique did not leave behind any traces and even when there wasn¡¯t any wind, he could generate those subtle winds from the movements of his body, before disappearing within these subtle winds. It was like a gentle breeze, leaving no trace nor vestiges in its wake. This was the true Wind Escape Technique. It was the same when he was gaining enlightenment, there wasn¡¯t even a single trace. No, perhaps his comprehensions of the Wind Escape Technique from the Escaping Wind were different from other people. It was also because of this that the Wind Escape Technique had such charm. Every strand of grass was different, as was each strain of Escaping Wind. In the world, there were no two grass which were the same, likewise, there were no other Wind Escape Technique which was completely the same as his in this world. Mo Wuji sat back down, only now did his body lose its ethereality and regain his true physical features. Being strong was not done in a single step, and at every instant, he could encounter cultivators infinitely stronger than him. But now, with this Wind Escape Technique, the outcomes would be completely different. Mo Wuji calmed himself down and went to reflect on his Wind Escape Technique. Different levels of the Wind Escape Technique gradually appeared within his mind, things were also getting clearer. Another day passed and Mo Wuji had fully comprehended his Wind Escape Technique. The Wind Escape Technique was his self-created skill and he was now at its first level. After he breaks through the ninth level, the Wind Escape Technique would have a qualitative change. What comes during this qualitative change? Perhaps it might become a true sacred art. Cultivating the Wind Escape Technique, where else would be a better place besides the Thorny Wind Gate? Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will extended outwards; he saw Cen Shuyin being completely wrapped within a whirlpool of wind and he knew that Cen Shuyin should also be in a critical period. Mo Wuji directly started cultivating. When Cen Shuyin had completely succeeded the legacy, they could leave together to practise the Wind Escape Technique. At this moment, Cen Shuyin wasn¡¯t merely cultivating the Typhoon Formula, she didn¡¯t give up on her own ice-type cultivation technique. Perhaps in the entire Lost Continent, she might be the only cultivator with dual-cultivation techniques. But her Typhoon Formula was really no trivial skill, and additionally, she was already in True Lake Stage Level 1. When she cultivated with the Typhoon Formula, her rate of absorbing spiritual energy was not much weaker than Mo Wuji. In merely half a month¡¯s time, her Typhoon Formula advanced from Channel Opening to Spirit Building. After three months, she broke through from Spirit Building to Transcending Mortality. In six months, Cen Shuyin stepped into the Yuan Dan. Finally, after ten months, Cen Shuyin¡¯s Typhoon Formula broke through the Yuan Dan Stage and arrived at True Lake Stage Level 1. Within her body, were two huge lakes of elemental energy; one was a wind elemental energy lake, the other was an ice elemental energy lake. By this time, Cen Shuyin could finally feel the great expansion of her power. She was still in True Lake Stage Level 1 but this was a totally different concept from her True Lake Stage Level 1 ten months ago. Dual-cultivating both wind and ice, her cultivation speed did not meet any impediments but it even boosted her ice-type cultivation method. She was sure that within a short period of time, she could charge into True Lake Stage Level 2. After she achieved that, she was resolute to start accepting the Wind Escape Technique legacy. ¡­ Just like Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of absorbing spiritual energy was meteoric as always. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s absorption of spiritual energy was crazy fast, ever since he entered the True Lake Stage, raising each level became increasingly difficult. He took a whole nine months to advance from True Lake Stage Level 3 to Level 4. He had been in True Lake Stage Level 4 for three months now but True Lake Stage Level 5 still looked far and remote. At this moment, Mo Wuji stopped his cultivation. He felt a fluctuation in the spiritual energy and sent his spiritual will extending outwards, discovering that Cen Shuyin had already stopped her cultivation. Mo Wuji changed a set of clothes and walked out of his compartment. Things were different now. Previously, he did not know of the Wind Escape Technique, so even if he wore on layers and layers of clothing, he would still get ripped and shredded by the raging winds of the Thorny Wind Gate. But now with his Wind Escape Technique, if he was careful, he shouldn¡¯t be affected much by the Thorny Wind Gate¡¯s crazy winds. "Junior apprentice brother Mo¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji appear, a hint of glee appeared in Cen Shuyin¡¯s eyes. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, congratulations on your success with the Typhoon Formula," Mo Wuji did not know whether Cen Shuyin had yet to accept the Wind Escape Technique legacy but he could tell with a single glance that Cen Shuyin must have been successful in her cultivation of the Typhoon Formula. Not only that, Cen Shuyin¡¯s power had swelled exponentially. Even though she tried to restrain her aura, Mo Wuji could still clearly feel her power. Cen Shuyin could not suppress the joy in her eyes, "En, I¡¯ve indeed successfully cultivated the Typhoon Formula, and I¡¯ve also learnt the Wind Escape Technique. Junior apprentice brother Mo, on your side¡­" Mo Wuji celebrated, "I¡¯ve also gained insights on my own Wind Escape Technique, and I was just about to go outside to hone my Wind Escape Technique. Why don¡¯t we go together?" "Alright. Understanding the Wind Escape Technique takes time, and it¡¯s hard to control one¡¯s eventual location. When the time comes, should we meet back here?" After Cen Shuyin accepted the Wind Escape Technique legacy, she knew that Mo Wuji and her should no longer face any difficulty within a place like the Thorny Wind Gate. Mo Wuji nodded, "Unfortunately, there¡¯s no way to send any messages. I also don¡¯t have any flying messenger swords." "Flying messenger swords are useless in the Thorny Wind Gate, it would immediately be swept away by the strong winds. I heard that the Zhen Mo Continent has some sort of communication bead but those things are incredibly rare. Only those Worldly Immortal smiths with understandings over the space dao could forge it," Cen Shuyin sighed. Communication beads were indeed hard to get. Even if it was a Worldly Immortal, it would still be useless if he wasn¡¯t a supreme smith. To be a supreme smith and a Worldly Immortal at the same time, such cultivators were truly too rare. Mo Wuji suddenly felt some regret; he should have asked that old fishing fogey to give him some communication beads. That old fishing fogey was so strong, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t believe it if he claimed that he didn¡¯t have any communication beads. ¡­ The exit passage had already been sealed, but for two True Lake Stage experts like Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin, it was not difficult to smash open a new path. Two hours later, the two emerged from a crevice. The only difference was the previous long winding crevice had already disappeared. "Senior apprentice sister Cen, we¡¯ll go our separate ways here. Wait till we achieve success in our Wind Escape Techniques then we can meet back here." The moment they emerged, Mo Wuji flatly said. Just as Cen Shuyin acknowledged, the roaring wind blew by, sweeping the two away. Whether it was Mo Wuji or Cen Shuyin, none of them specially tried to resist this sudden gust of wind. Things were different now; even though he was wrapped up in this violent wind, Mo Wuji could feel the entirety of the wind. Not just the traceless wind whip, he could even clearly feel the crushed stones and rubble carried within the wind. Even so, his power was still insufficient, and his Wind Escape Technique level was too low, he couldn¡¯t dodge the strikes of the wind whip. But in the majority of the time, Mo Wuji could easily avoid the wind whips. The most terrifying thing about the Thorny Wind Gate wasn¡¯t the irresistible winds, but the crushed stones and wind whips within the violent winds. If he could dodge these things, as long as he didn¡¯t encounter any Howling Wind Beasts or other wind-type beasts of the like, he was practically free of danger. As the start, Mo Wuji could feel the existence of the wind whip, but he wasn¡¯t able to fully dodge them. He even had a full ribs broken from the collision against some crushed stones. But as time passed, Mo Wuji became more at ease within the Thorny Wind Gate. Sometimes, he even felt himself to be a strand of wind within the violent winds, following the movements of the wind without a trace. Three months later, Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique had reached level 4. In six months, Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique advanced into level 6. By this time, Mo Wuji no longer faced any threat from the Thorny Wind Gate and it was no longer able to help him improve any further. As such, Mo Wuji stopped honing his Wind Escape Technique. As Mo Wuji was prepared to go back to meet Cen Shuyin, he felt the ripples of a battle within the violent wind. The spatial ripples from a battle were different from those from the winds. Explosions of elemental energy could clearly be felt. Chapter 302: Go All Out Chapter 302: Go All Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations One of them must definitely be Cen Shuyin. He had cultivated beside Cen Shuyin for close to a year and he could easily recognise the spiritual ripples of Cen Shuyin¡¯s skills. Cen Shuyin had obtained the Wind Escape Technique legacy and was a dual cultivator of wind and ice, her abilities should be much stronger than an average True Lake Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji estimated that Cen Shuyin was already in True Lake Stage Level 2, but her true power should be able to rival enemies in Level 4 or Level 5. In the Thorny Wind Gate, Mo Wuji guessed that not even Nihility Gods could trump over her. However, Mo Wuji could somehow feel that Cen Shuyin was at a disadvantage. Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed, morphing into a breeze within the violent winds, disappearing from that spot. Minutes later, Mo Wuji saw the two battling. Cen Shuyin¡¯s hair was tussled and her body was drenched in blood, her clothes were ripped till it looked like a mop; it was unable to fully cover her body. Cen Shuyin was battling a white-faced, beardless man. In the violent wind, this man actually did not use any sort of evasive measures. From the looks of it, this fella was not a wind-type cultivator but he must also have some sort of method similar to the Wind Escape Technique. From Mo Wuji¡¯s estimations, this fella was at least in the Nihility God Advanced Stage, or even at the Great Circle of Nihility God Stage. Mo Wuji was now at True Lake Stage Level 4, if he was outside, he believed that he wouldn¡¯t need to fear a single True Lake Stage expert. Even if it was a Nihility God, he might not be able to win but he could still easily escape. Now in the Thorny Wind Gate, he wouldn¡¯t even fear a Great Circle of Nihility God Stage cultivator. Ever since Mo Wuji arrived, not only didn¡¯t Cen Shuyin discover him, that Nihility God also didn¡¯t notice Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had fully integrated into the violent winds, leaving behind no marks or vestiges. "Pui!" Another fog of blood emerged from Cen Shuyin¡¯s shoulder. The ragged clothes which hung on her body was swept away by that beam of elemental energy. Cen Shuyin was shamed and anxious. If she fought any further, not only would she endanger her life, she might also all scraps of clothing which were still on her. It was fine if Mo Wuji was the one seeing it; Mo Wuji was, after all, a person she was familiar with, the Rogue Cultivator 2705. If her body was seen by some random man, even if she didn¡¯t die, she wouldn¡¯t be able to rest in peace. Cen Shuyin made the decision to retreat, but she knew, her opponent was a fella sensitive to wind. It would be hard for her to retreat. But not retreating would only aggravate her situation. "Boom! Boom!" Several consecutive lightning bolts exploded within the violent winds; Cen Shuyin was euphoric, when she had these exploding lightning, she knew that Mo Wuji had arrived. As expected, a few bursts of blood fog exploded from that Nihility God, who held the upper hand. At this moment, how could he still have the opportunity to continue his assault? He hurriedly changed his direction as he prepared to get outta that place. Even though Cen Shuyin wanted Mo Wuji to get this fella to stay, she didn¡¯t even know where Mo Wuji was. In reality, Cen Shuyin wasn''t the only one who didn''t know where Mo Wuji was at, even that Nihility God wasn''t able to determine Mo Wuji''s location. If not for that fact, he definitely wouldn''t have let things rest when he was ambushed by Mo Wuji. But he couldn''t even locate his opponent, so what else could he do? The moment Mo Wuji acted, he was able to force this Nihility God into retreat. He completely integrated into the violent winds of the Thorny Wind Gate, and even when he reached this Nihility God''s side, the Nihility God was still oblivious. The Nihility God only came to a rude shock when Mo Wuji shot out few strands of Invisible Sword Qi and swung his Tian Ji Pole. This Nihility God was also adept in the violent winds of the Thorny Wind Gate, he could even avoid the wind whips and crushed rocks carried within the winds by his instincts alone. He was so sensitive towards the wind but he could never have imagined that his opponent could still hide and ambush him within the violent winds. Ostensibly, his opponent was much stronger than him, or more accurately, more attuned to the wind. He hastily rushed out his wind drum as he barely managed to block the multiple beams of Mo Wuji''s Invisible Sword Qi. Before he could regain his countenance, few ruthless strikes of wind whips landed against his back, shredding off his clothes and taking some skin off with it. When dealing with Cen Shuyin, he was like a butcher handling his cleaver, he was at ease and the wind whips weren¡¯t able to faze him. But now under Mo Wuji''s attacks, how could he still divert his attention towards the wind whips? "Bam!" Just as the wind drum blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji pole again, another bolt of lightning exploded on him. One of the Nihility God''s legs was fractured by the blast of lightning. At this instant, he could no longer care about his injuries and could only hasten his retreat. He could tell that Mo Wuji''s cultivation should not be higher than his, and this difference was more than a simple level. Otherwise, he would have been rendered completely useless against Mo Wuji''s previous ambush. But he didn''t dare continue fighting with Mo Wuji. In this place, he wasn''t even able to grasp his opponent''s location, and to make things worse, his opponent even had that immaterial Invisible Sword Qi and the unpredictable lightning bolts. Even if Mo Wuji''s cultivation was lower than him by more than two levels, he still wouldn''t date continue fighting on. If this was outside, it would be akin to him tying his limbs up with rope and crippling his spiritual will as he fought with his opponent. It would be weird if he could win. Mo Wuji was also very anxious. He had hidden himself in the dark, completely merged within the winds. His opponent had yet to advance into the Heaven Realm and even if his opponent was in the Heaven Realm True God Stage, it would still be difficult to discern his location. However, their difference in power was far too distant. He consecutively ambushed his opponent twice but he could only give his opponent flesh wounds. These wounds looked serious but they weren''t anything life threatening. If this Nihility God didn''t retreat, he would eventually be worn down and defeated. But if the Nihility God did escape, Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to do anything about it. The Nihility God was also rather attuned to the wind; as long as he didn''t act against Mo Wuji, he should be able to escape without a hitch. Hiding within the winds did allow Mo Wuji to ambush his opponent, but it also restricted the actions he could take. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer cared to conceal himself. After shooting out a few electroballs, he directly emerged from the winds, swinging his Tian Ji Pole downwards. "Boom! Boom! Pow!" Even though he was struck by the electroballs, the Nihility God didn''t feel shock but glee. Because he had finally seen Mo Wuji''s figure; now that Mo Wuji had appeared, he was sure that he could end Mo Wuji. "Kacha!" An electroball fractured the other leg of the Nihility God, but the Nihility God paid it no heed. His wind drump wound up a huge tornado of elemental energy, as it rushed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and maintained his descent of the Tian Ji Pole. This Nihility God was able to wind up such terrifying amounts of elemental energy with his wind drum, and this was in the Thorny Wind Gate. If this was outside, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t even have the strength to resist. This Nihility God saw that Mo Wuji actually acted like him, ignoring the other''s magic treasure. His lips curved into a sly smile. He just needed to move his head by a bit, there wasn''t even a need to dodge, Mo Wuji would only be able to smash against his shoulder. With Mo Wuji''s strike, he would not be killed and would only be heavily injured at the very most. Even if he was heavily injured, he wouldn''t need to fear that woman by the side. On the other hand, his wind drum was aimed towards Mo Wuji''s waist, he was sure he could definitely shatter Mo Wuji''s waist apart. That''s right, in the Thorny Wind Gate, his drum''s power was not even a third of his power outside, but so what? He could tell that Mo Wuji wasn''t even in the Nihility God Stage. "Boom, ka¡­" Even among the howling winds of the Thorny Wind Gate, Mo Wuji could still hear the sounds of bones fracturing. The Nihility God¡¯s wind drum was not offset as it landed against Mo Wuji¡¯s waist. Even though Mo Wuji had already activated his Revolving Star Passage Zhuan Stage Level 3 - Midnight Revolution, and that Nihility God wasn¡¯t even at his usual power, Mo Wuji could still hear the sounds of his bones shattering. From his waist to his leg, then down towards his ankle. The terrifying force only disappeared when the elemental energy was revolved towards the ground from the bottom of his feet. However, this Nihility God was not a half bit happy. While he heard the sounds of Mo Wuji''s bones shattering, he could also hear the cracks from his own bones. A wave of drowsiness, or even an aura of death flushed over him. He could feel all the energy in his body leaving him. This pain and shattering of bones did not originate from his shoulders, but from the top of his skull. He clearly moved his head away from the trajectory of the Tian Ji Pole but his opponent''s Tian Ji Pole precisely hit his skull. This was simply incomprehensible. Unless his opponent shifted the Tian Ji Pole just as he shifted his head? This sort of attack, not just him, even a True God might not be able to achieve it, how was his opponent able to do it? At this very next instant, his consciousness went black. Mo Wuji didn''t give him a single chance, sending a beam of sword qi into his Mind Palace. "Peng!" At the instant the Nihility God was killed, Mo Wuji descended from the sky, falling into the crater formed from the elemental energy he revolved away. It could be said that he killed this Nihility God with his own power. When that Nihility God chose not to dodge his Tian Ji Pole, Mo Wuji knew that his opponent wanted to exchange blows with him. Under usual circumstances, this would be disadvantageous to him. His cultivation was far from his opponent''s so his attack power definitely couldn¡¯t match the Nihility God¡¯s. However, he had a sacred art - Revolving Star Passage Technique. Even though his bones shattered from his waist to his ankle, he still succeeded. As for his descending Tian Ji Pole, he also used the Revolving Star Passage Technique Zhuan Stage Level 4 - Qiankun Upheaval, to affect its trajectory. The Nihility God was willing to exchange blows Mo Wuji because he was sure that Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole could not change its direction in that short instance. Unfortunately for the Nihility God, Mo Wuji practised the Revolving Star Passage Technique. With Qiankun Upheaval, he could change the trajectory of Tian Ji Pole in an instant without affecting the Tian Ji Pole''s power. This also gave Mo Wuji a stark reminder: Never underestimate one''s opponents. Even if he was sure that his opponent couldn''t do something, in a life and death battle, he still had to assume the worst. "Junior apprentice brother Mo¡­" Cen Shuyin urgently rushed over, carefully pulling Mo Wuji into her embrace, her face filled with anxiety. She could never have fathomed that Mo Wuji could kill this cultivator at the Great Circle of Nihility God Stage, and at a head-on battle at that. A hint of fragrance and a soft sensation could be felt; Mo Wuji¡¯s heart trembled. Both of them were nearly naked. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s grievous injuries, Cen Shuyin¡¯s mind was filled with worry and she did not harbour any dirty thoughts. Mo Wuji, on the other hand, finally knew of the existence of ¡®hormones¡¯. Chapter 303: Broken Sect Chapter 303: Broken Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji administered two Clear Jade Pills, suppressing the dirty thoughts brewing inside his head. Soon, he was immersed in his recuperation and had forgotten the awkwardness he felt from Cen Shuyin''s naked embrace. To hasten his recovery, he needed to fully let go of all his distractions. Mo Wuji trusted Cen Shuyin, so besides leaving a small strand of spiritual will for protection, almost all his attention was focused on his recovery. Cen Shuyin had never hugged another man, much less one who was like her, covered only in tattered rags. She brushed against Mo Wuji''s spirited organ and her face instantly flushed red. If it was someone else, she would have long threw him away. If not for the fact that they weren''t in the Thorny Wind Gate, she also wouldn''t continue hugging Mo Wuji. But now, she couldn''t bear to put Mo Wuji down. Mo Wuji''s dirty thoughts were transient as he soon calmed down to recover, allowing Cen Shuyin to heave a sigh of relief. ¡­ By the time Mo Wuji awoke from his recovery, several days had passed. He soon discovered that they had returned to the stone room where Cen Shuyin received her legacy. Sending his spiritual will outwards, he found Cen Shuyin cultivating in her compartment. Cen Shuyin had already helped washed him up and changed him into a new set of clothes. However, his clothing wasn''t of men''s style, but a female-like blouse. Mo Wuji looked at the materials of his blouse and knew that Cen Shuyin must have made some alterations to his clothes. Mo Wuji stood up, washed himself up, changed his clothes and opened the compartment within the stone room. This place no longer had enough spiritual energy for Mo Wuji, he decided to leave this place. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, you''re recovered?" Cen Shuyin saw Mo Wuji walking over and asked gleefully. Over the past few days of reflection, her previous awkwardness had gradually disappeared. She suddenly seemed to recall something as she handed a storage ring over to Mo Wuji, "This is that Nihility God''s storage ring, I think we''ve gotten ourselves in trouble." "What''s wrong?" Mo Wuji accepted the ring and asked doubtfully. Cen Shuyin pointed towards the ring and said, "See the words engraved on the ring, you''ll know immediately." As Cen Shuyin was speaking, Mo Wuji''s gaze had already turned towards the words on the storage ring: Broken Sect, 731. "Broken Sect, 731? What does that mean?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Cen Shuyin answered, "I heard that in the Zhen Mo Continent, the most revered and strongest place is the Star King Mountain. At the same time, in the Zhen Mo Continent, there''s a dark sect which is the most secretive and feared, that sect is the Broken Sect." "There''s actually a person who would name his sect as ''Broken Sect¡¯, how interesting," Mo Wuji said speechlessly. Cen Shuyin shook her head, "The Broken Sect is it the only sect which didn''t name itself. The Broken Sect was once an assassins guild. There¡¯s a unique legend that revolves around the sect; it''s rumoured that if a person enters the target list of this assassins guild, he wouldn''t live past 3 months. Furthermore, this assassins guild has another hobby, when they were hired to kill a particular person, they would also kill everyone around him. Even entire sects have been eradicated. As time passed, no one even dared to hire them because their methods were too bloodthirsty. Almost everyone of their assassination attempts would result in complete slaughter. That''s why this assassins guild had been named as the Broken Sect. The head of the assassins guild acknowledged this name, and after some time, he really established a sect and this sect is the Broken Sect." "The Star King Mountain doesn''t do anything about this sect?" Mo Wuji asked. "The Star King Mountain doesn¡¯t acknowledge the Broken Sect¡¯s existence, so it had yet to do anything. But there¡¯s also rumours that the Star King Mountain tried to interfere with the matter but the Broken Sect was too strong. Even if the Star King Mountain tried to eradicate the Broken Sect, they would suffer heavily. The Broken Sect had remained hidden for so long but today we actually killed a fella from the Broken Sect," Cen Shuyin''s voice was filled with worry. "As long as we don''t say anything, perhaps they wouldn''t know that we killed that fella." As Mo Wuji heard Cen Shuyin''s words, his head started to ache. He already had many things on his plate and if this Broken Sect was added to the mix, could he still cultivate peacefully? "That''s useless, I''ve never heard of anything good happening to those that killed a member of the Broken Sect. I believe that many others must have the same thoughts as you but I''ve never heard of anyone escaping the vengeance of the Broken Sect," Cen Shuyin bemoaned. All these were just rumours, but they actually killed a person from the Broken Sect, verifying that the Broken Sect truly existed. Mo Wuji''s expression turned serious. He didn¡¯t think that he had anything special which could help him shake off the Broken Sect¡¯s pursuit. After some deliberation, Mo Wuji suddenly placed the ring on the ground, "I won''t be opening this ring. Wait for me for a few days." Cen Shuyin could understand why Mo Wuji gave up on the storage ring; many storage rings had spiritual will imprint. The moment it was opened, the imprint would latch itself on the opener, and that opener would be completely oblivious of it. This spiritual will imprint would be the method the opener would be tracked. Mo Wuji probably wasn''t willing to open the storage ring because he was concerned about the spiritual will imprint. Cen Shuyin''s guess was only partially correct; Mo Wuji was indeed worried about the spiritual will imprint. However, ignoring the ring would not require a few days. He got Cen Shuyin to wait for him for a few days because he wanted to check whether there were any imprints on him. At the same time, he wanted to stay here to design his own personalised imprint. The Broken Sect was so terrifying, they definitely wouldn''t simply leave an imprint on the storage ring. Mo Wuji was sure, if it was as scary as Cen Shuyin claimed, then his body might also be latched with an imprint. Three days later, Mo Wuji had already conducted rounds of checks on his own body, he even swept through the items within his storage ring but he did not find anything out of the particular. He guessed that it was either there wasn''t any imprint on him, or he wasn''t strong enough to detect the spiritual will imprint. Unfortunately, he was truly helpless; he spent three consecutive days to no avail. Carrying on would be useless. He started training his spiritual will early in his cultivation, but he was still not very familiar with spiritual will imprints. However, he needed to stay here to design his own spiritual will imprint. If the Broken Sect was truly so terrifying, they would definitely be able to track the ring to this location. What he wanted to do was to set up an array around the ring. Through this array, he would leave an imprint on his pursuers. Mo Wuji admired the saints who could forgive and forget, but he was not such a person. If the Broken Sect really came knocking up his door and even sent people to deal with him, he would definitely kill and fight back. Since he would kill his way back, he naturally needed to find the Broken Sect¡¯s lair. The Broken Sect was so elusive, it would be a fantasy if he thought he could find the Broken Sect¡¯s lair from the people who would come pursuing him. If the Broken Sect was so easily found, they would have been discovered a long time ago. Thus, he wanted to make use of this ring to find the Broken Sect''s lair. Those that came searching for the ring must definitely be from the Broken Sect. He could leave an imprint on those fellas to find the Broken Sect''s lair. If the Broken Sect didn''t care about him, then he would let things be. But if they did threaten to deal with him, then he definitely wouldn''t be courteous. The laser cannons might be priceless but when his little life was threatened, he would not hesitate to grab those laser cannons and blast those little Broken f*ckers. How could Cen Shuyin know what was on Mo Wuji''s mind? She only thought that Mo Wuji was searching his body for any imprints. She didn''t know that Mo Wuji was also taking precautions as he prepared to install his own spiritual will imprint. Mo Wuji''s single attempt already took half a month. Half a month later, Mo Wuji started installing the concealed array flags and left his spiritual will imprint within the array. He was not very proficient with the marking of a spiritual will imprint but he was adept with arrays, his spiritual will was stronger than an average cultivators and he even had a sacred art. In this entire planet, perhaps even a Worldly Immortal might not necessarily have a sacred art. As long as someone entered to take the ring, his hidden array would be triggered, which would then stimulate his Revolving Star Passage Technique sacred art which would transfer his spiritual will into his opponent''s meridians. Mo Wuji did not have spiritual roots and he created this method to cultivate using meridians; he understood more about the meridians in the human body than an average cultivator. Perhaps even True Gods wouldn''t be as knowledgeable with meridians. Besides him, other cultivators definitely had spiritual roots and cultivated with spirit channels. Thus, if he transferred the spiritual will imprint into his opponent''s meridians, his opponent might not be able to discover it. After all, meridians were not as valuable as spirit channels for cultivators. When they cultivated, they would circulate spiritual energy through their spirit channels and they wouldn''t even pay heed to their meridians. "We can go now." After Mo Wuji placed his final array flag, he went to find Cen Shuyin. His sacred art was residing within the array, the elemental energy within it could last two to three months at the most before dissipating. Mo Wuji felt that this amount of time should be sufficient. If the Broken Sect was as impressive as the rumours, they would definitely be able to find this place within two to three months. If they couldn''t find it, then he would have less to worry. Cen Shuyin did not know why Mo Wuji would want to install an array here but she could roughly guess what Mo Wuji was doing. Several days later, Mo Wuji and Cen Shuyin emerged from the Thorny Wind Gate from that previous whirlpool. The two both knew a Wind Escape Technique so the price they had to pay was merely a set of clothes. "Junior apprentice brother Mo, where will you be going now?" Cen Shuyin saw Mo Wuji fetch out a ball shaped flying ship, she could tell that this flying of Mo Wuji''s was a high grade spiritual item. "I¡¯ll first make a trip to the Universal Hall, I have some friends there. Senior apprentice sister Cen, do you want to follow me?" Mo Wuji knew that the grade of Cen Shuyin''s flying car was very low, so he directly invited Cen Shuyin with him. Cen Shuyin shook her head, "It''s okay. I will first find a place to continue my closed doors cultivation. My power is truly too low." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, he understood the meaning behind Cen Shuyin''s actions. Cen Shuyin was worried of implicating him, if they were to appear in the Universal Hall together, it was simply beckoning for the Star King Mountain''s Xia Clan to kill them. He did not have any other way to ask her to stay. After all, the two of them didn''t have a special relationship. ¡­ After parting with Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji did not travel really quickly; now that he had offended the Broken Sect, he needed to be on high alert. After half a month, Mo Wuji was still far from the Universal Hall, but an astounding scene was displayed in front of him. Countless numbers of cultivators were clashing against dense amounts of space beasts. Space Scorpions, Space Rats, Space Butterflies, Gold Blade Apes, Grey Spotted Space Wolves¡­ There was enough variety to form a menu. Chapter 304: Ranked On The Universal Board Chapter 304: Ranked On The Universal Board Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though there were a lot of cultivators around, they couldn¡¯t fend off this many space beasts. There were countless of cultivators being engulfed every minute and even though more space beasts were killed relatively, it would be impossible to finish them off. In fact, he personally witnessed a True God Stage cultivator being swallowed in one mouth by a Class 7 gigantic mouse. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold because if so many space beasts entered the Zhen Mo Continent at one time, how would things turn out to be? Perhaps even a small grass in Zhen Mo Continent would not be able to survive right? Without waiting for Mo Wuji to come to his senses, countless space beasts from all four directions started to surround him. Mo Wuji was shocked because he had only dealt with Space Scorpions previously and he almost lost his life to them. Now that there were so many Space Beast Bees charging towards him, he might not even have a chance to escape. Before the countless space beasts could approach any closer, Mo Wuji released his Boundless Lightning Rain. After advancing to the True Lake Stage Level 4, the killing zone of Mo Wuji¡¯s Boundless Lightning Rain increased by more than 10 folds. In just one move, he managed to clear his surrounding as all the Space Butterflies, Space Mouse and the other space beasts all fell after this Boundless Lightning Rain. Mo Wuji sighed because if he didn¡¯t have his Wind Escape Technique and was trapped by so many space beasts, he would have no other choice but to mass kill his way out. However, things were different now that he had his Wind Escape Technique because as long as he used enough of his True Lake¡¯s violet energy, he would be able to slip away instantly. It seemed like Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t gotten used to his sudden increase in strength. Every time the Boundless Lightning Rain descended, a large amount of space beasts would be killed. Mo Wuji was too lazy to even take out his only shield because as long as he could hold on, he would be able to continuously kill those beasts. When he couldn¡¯t hold on anymore, he would immediately shield his way out without any hesitation. The universal token was also hung around his waist immediately because this was a massive opportunity to collect contribution points for the Universal Board hence, Mo Wuji would naturally not let this chance pass by. "Boom boom boom!" The explosive lightnings from his Lightning Rain fell continuously as Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t stop blasting the countless space beasts to death. The contribution points on Mo Wuji¡¯s universal token kept increasing as well. As long as he saw a space beast which was Class 6 and above, Mo Wuji would immediately turn away because he came to earn points, not fight for his life against a Class 6 beast. Mo Wuji made so much commotion in the middle of the crowd of demonic beasts such that it would be impossible for people not to notice him. Very soon, the huge army of mortals and cultivators noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s large chunks of lightning bolts and his wild killing of the beasts. "Boom boom boom...kacha¡­" Yet another wave of demonic beasts were blasted to death by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was calm because after releasing this large scale of Boundless Lightning Rain, his violet lake was still full of elemental energy. As long as he was not attacked by a top class demonic beast, he wouldn¡¯t mind if he had to continue doing this for a few more days. "Puff!" Before Mo Wuji could release yet another wave of Boundless Lightning Rain, a soaring blade radiance sliced through his left chest spurting out a canopy of blood. Class 7 demonic beast? Mo Wuji was shocked because no matter how good he was, he would not be able to hide and escape from a Class 7 demonic beast. It wasn¡¯t too long ago when he witnessed a True God Stage expert being swallowed alive by a Class 7 Space Mouse. If he was marked by a Class 7 demonic beast, he wasn¡¯t sure that he could use his Wind Escape Technique to escape successfully. "Tsk tsk!" Yet another two blade radiance flew over and Mo Wuji felt like his acupuncture points were struck as he was completely unable to move. Presently, he could only stare blankly at the two blade radiance pierced through the space as it flew directly in front of his eyes. Mo Wuji¡¯s violet energy lake started to swirl up as all 103 meridians started to circulate spiritual energy insanely. Just before this two blade radiance sliced his skull apart, his violet energy lake finally broke its shackles as his entire body managed to recover its original state because of the spiritual circulation of all 103 meridians. Fortunately, his Revolving Star Passage Technique had already reached the 4th level of the Zhuan Stage: QianKun Upheaval which should be able to dodge this small threat to his life. Mo Wuji had already made up his mind to leave immediately if he was able to escape this crisis. In this place without a strong defender around him, he was simply courting death if he continued to try and collect more contribution points. "Bang!" Before Mo Wuji could execute the Qiankun Upheaval to dodge the attack, a huge print magically appeared in front of him and destroying both the blade radiances. "You carry on and leave this raging Space Lion to me," A grey robed man flitted by Mo Wuji as he said this. It was only till now that Mo Wuji realised that he was hurt by a few metres long Space Lion, an absolute Class 7 space beast. A rectangular big print was suspending above the grey robed man¡¯s head and even before he used the big print again, Mo Wuji noticed the cautious look on the face of the Space Lion. The Space Lion had already given up on trying to kill Mo Wuji. Since someone was helping him block the Class 7 demonic beast, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t leave immediately but chose to stay and continue using his Boundless Lightning Rain to collect contribution points. This time round, he spread his spiritual will around the surrounding as he was afraid another strong demonic beast might act against him again. The endless incoming space beasts were simply too many to kill. Mo Wuji was only concerned about collecting points and not hopeful about killing them all. This battle against the space beasts lasted for exactly two days before the numerous space beasts slowly retreated into the voided space. During this period of time, Mo Wuji was the target of sneak attacks from Class 7 demonic beasts twice and both times he managed to dodge it just in time. Furthermore, on both occasions, the Class 7 demonic beasts didn¡¯t have a chance to attack him twice because a True God Stage expert would always appear to keep the beasts busy. Evidently with the Zhen Mo Continent Cultivator Army around, they wouldn¡¯t allow a higher class demonic beast to act against a lower class cultivator too. In two days, the elemental energy in Mo Wuji¡¯s violet energy lake was reduced by as much as half its original amount. As the demonic beasts retreated, the Zhen Mo Cultivator Army started to gather once again. While there looked like there were still about a few millions cultivators left in the army, Mo Wuji knew that a few hundred thousand cultivators had fallen in this war as well. The only difference was that there were all sorts of space beasts coming at them regardless of their class. He even saw a bunch of Class 1 Space Mouse rushing towards him but before they could appear in front of him, they were all blasted into shreds by his lightning bolts. As for the cultivators who managed to make it into the Cultivation Army, they were all at least above the Transcending Mortality Stage. Mo Wuji grabbed his own universal token and took a glance at it, "Mo Wuji, Universal Contribution Points: 26811, Ranking: 9951" Mo Wuji was astonished, good grief! Who knew how many space beasts he had killed over these two days using tonnes and tonnes of elemental energy and Boundless Lightning Rain. He even managed to kill a few Class 5 space beasts but barely made it up to the secondary board. One must know that he wouldn¡¯t get much of such opportunities in the future anymore unless he could join the cultivator army. Otherwise, if he were to meet so many space beasts alone, escaping would be his only option. It looked like he could forget about getting ranked one on the main Universal Board because even getting on the main Universal Board itself would be a long way from now. At that moment, Mo Wuji sensed something coming at him as he subconsciously looked towards his side. "You are pretty decent, which department are you from?" A big built grey robed man was standing where Mo Wuji was standing previously as he raised his hand awkwardly. It seemed like he wanted to pat Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder but was shunned off by Mo Wuji¡¯s instinct. Mo Wuji hurried to say apologetically, "Junior¡¯s name is Mo Wuji and thank you senior for your life-saving grace earlier." However, even without this grey robed man¡¯s help earlier on, Mo Wuji would have been able to dodge the Space Lion¡¯s second attack as well but since he reached out to help him, Mo Wuji naturally had to thank him. Moreover, this grey robed man should be in True God Stage Level 9 which was a lot higher than himself. This grey robed man shook his hand and said, "You are very strong and that lightning rain made me extremely envious. Logically speaking, how could I not know of a talent like you?" Mo Wuji could only say, "Junior is only a rogue cultivator and have yet to join the army which was why senior wouldn¡¯t know me." "I see, why don¡¯t you join my Northern Star Army?" The grey robed man laughed and added, "Oh yes, my name is Mou Lanhan, Northern Star Army¡¯s three stars commander." Mo Wuji stopped moving suddenly and even though he only just arrived at Zhen Mo Continent, he had heard a few things about the Star King Mountain. Star King Mountain had a total of 10 halls and also 10 armies. From Mou Lanhan¡¯s words, Mo Wuji guessed that this Northern Star Army should be one of the 10 Star King Mountain armies. Additionally, he had heard that there was a Mou Clan out of the three big clans in the Star King Mountain which made him wondered if this Mou Lanhan was a member of the Mou Clan. After Mo Wuji clasped his fist respectfully, he said in an apologetic tone, "Senior Mou, I currently have no intentions to join the cultivator army but if one day I decided to join an army, I will definitely choose the Northern Star Army." A trace of disappointment flashed through Mou Lanhan¡¯s eyes when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words but the disappointment disappeared very quickly as he took out an order flag to pass to Mo Wuji, "There are a lot of evil b*stards in the Universal Hall so if anyone dare to touch you, you can just mention my name. I am optimistic about your potential so remember to find me, Mou Lanhan, when you decided to join the army." After he said his piece, Mou Lanhan¡¯s body disappeared in a flash within the huge army. Mo Wuji noticed that all the rogue cultivators that followed the big army to battles were starting to head towards the Universal Hall. Just as he was about to follow them, another person stopped him in his tracks. This time round, it was a woman with an almost perfect figure wearing a universal robe looking extremely heroic. However, she just happened to have a soft and delicate face which brought out some gentleness within the heroic vibes. Yet another True God Stage expert so Mo Wuji could only clasped his fist helplessly, "Junior, Mo Wuji, greets senior." The woman laughed slightly, "That fella just now invited you to join his Northern Star Army right? Listen to your big sister and not go there. Even though the Northern Star Army is the number one army of the Universal Hall, a person with no roots or experience to join them would definitely not be able to shine there. Join our Star Sea Army and I promise you can become a one star commander the moment you join us." Yet another person came over to invite him but Mo Wuji could only say respectfully, "Thank you senior for your special regard but I currently don¡¯t have any intentions to join any cultivator army." The woman looked as if she knew Mo Wuji would say this as she replied, "No worries, you can find me anytime you wish to join us. My name is Shu Xuanyu, don¡¯t forget ah." Mo Wuji could only say his thanks once again before he left. However in his eyes, this Shu Xuanyu was clearly not as generous as Mou Lanhan. At least Mou Lanhan gave him an order flag while that woman didn¡¯t give him anything. If he really wanted to join a cultivator army, he would only join the Northern Star Army. Mo Wuji needed to hurry to the Universal Hall immediately because he agreed to meet Chu Qianlou and co. half a year later but a year and a half had passed already. He also wondered how the rest of them were coping over this whole time. Chapter 305: Have You Asked Me? Chapter 305: Have You Asked Me? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In the hall on the first level of the Universal Pier, Pang Qi¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. Rong He and Xiong Xingteng, who were standing beside him, were equally feeling as inferior as the three of their bodies were filled with blood. They had clearly just returned from space. "Sister Chu, we clearly don¡¯t belong here so we will bid our farewells here. If brother Mo were to return, may I please ask sister Chu to greet him on our behalf," Pang Qi¡¯s voice turned coarse and was even more dispirited when compared to his trip to the Lost Swamp. Chu Qianlou bit her lips and said, "Since we came as a group, we should leave as a group. I still have some contribution points with me and I could lend you all some." Xiong Xingteng bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you sister Chu. We have already used too many of your contribution points and it already isn¡¯t easy for you to bring junior apprentice sister Zi Han around. Previously, we didn¡¯t know that we needed contribution points to survive in the Universal Hall because we would have made alternative plans if we had known." Pang Qi and the three others including Mo Wuji all had no idea that one needed contribution points to even rest at any place here in the Universal Hall because they probably wouldn¡¯t allow someone to constantly walk around the Universal Hall so casually. Even if it was at the Universal Pier, one would need to pay contribution points if they were to stay for more than 24 hours there. As for finding good cultivation spot and residence here, one would definitely need an incredible amount of contribution points. However, the three of them were simply too weak so every trip to the space, the contribution points they¡¯ve collected were barely enough for a person to last a few days here. If they planned to stay here for the long term, perhaps even Chu Qianlou¡¯s contribution points wouldn¡¯t be enough for them. As to joining a cultivator army, the three of them didn¡¯t even dare to think about it. Given the fact that they were chased by the Jing Clan, they would reveal themselves the moment they joined the cultivator army. With the Jing Clan¡¯s abilities, it wouldn¡¯t take long to find the three of them. Chu Qianlou started to hesitate because bringing Pang Qi and co. would definitely affect Zi Han and her cultivation training. She didn¡¯t mind all these because it wouldn¡¯t only take a few days of cultivation to advance to the next stage. What she wanted more was to increase her own strength through battles in the Star Wars Battlefield. It was only because of Mo Wuji that the three of them became friends with herself eventually. If the three of them wanted to leave, she had no means of forcing them to stay. In fact, she could understand the reason for their actions because if she was in their shoes, she would definitely have done the same. "Pang Qi?" A voice sounded all of a sudden and it was brought along with a killing intent. Pang Qi and co. immediately turned their heads as they saw three men and one woman walking in through the entrance of the Universal Pier¡¯s hall. Pang Qi recognised the person who called him as he was Jing Clan¡¯s True Lake Stage cultivator, Jing Qiliang. "Danwu¡­" Pang Qi didn¡¯t even bother looking at Jing Qiliang as his eyes fell only on that woman and his entire body was trembling. His eyes were only filled with sorrows and even appeared slightly lost. In his heart, Jing Danwu was pure and innocent but because she gave him Jing Clan¡¯s half moon key as a token of love, she was locked up and tortured inhumanely by the Jing Clan. Even though he hadn¡¯t been caught by the Jing Clan, his heart was suffering from then on. Not for anything else but he suffered so much just from missing Jing Danwu. But currently, there was no scars or marks of tortures on Jing Danwu¡¯s body and she was full of smiles just like the old innocent days. As for her cultivation level, she had advanced through the Yuan Dan Stage and her aura even surpassed his. Not only this, she appeared to be very intimate with a square face man beside her and they seemed to be dao companions. Jing Danwu furrowed her brows as she saw Pang Qi and co. "Who is that?" The square face man standing beside Jing Danwu asked as his face turned serious when he heard Pang Qi calling Danwu directly. Jing Danwu hurried to say, "Brother Yangdong, this man is called Pang Qi and he used to be a Jing Clan¡¯s guard. But because he had a poor character and stole something from the Jing Clan, he ran away and was chased after by my Jing Clan for a long time now. Who would have thought that he was this sly to have escaped to the Universal Hall with his accomplices? No wonder no one heard anything about him all these while." Pang Qi spat out a stream of blood as he felt as though his heart was broken into many pieces. Currently, he wasn¡¯t only a clown but an idiot with a wishful thinking. "Brother Mo was indeed right," Xiong Xingteng clenched his fist tightly as he was reminding Pang Qi. Pang Qi was their big brother so it''s okay for him to misunderstand them. However, to treat Mo Wuji¡¯s kind words as mean words to Jing Danwu was indeed a bit too much. Back then Mo Wuji had already said that Jing Danwu had lied to him and the half moon key in Pang Qi¡¯s hand was fake but Pang Qi was adamant in his own thinking. Back then if it was not for Rong He, Pang Qi might even have fallen out with Mo Wuji. Pang Qi took a deep breath before saying calmly, "Xingteng, He¡¯Er, I¡¯ve let both of you down. Brother Mo was indeed extraordinary and would definitely not lower himself to the same level as a pitiful worm like myself. I, Pang Qi, have wasted over ten years treating a sh*t as the most important person to me and neglected the important people around me. "Brother Qi¡­" Rong He felt that her eyes were started to blur out because this was the first time since she knew Pang Qi that he called her He¡¯Er. "Qiliang, please go ahead to the Universal Hall of Affairs to make a report that my Jing Clan will be bringing away a clan¡¯s slave who committed crimes," A plump cultivator, who was walking in front, suddenly said. Jing Qiliang hurried to bow and said, " Yes, Uncle San." After he finished saying, Jing Qiliang turned and dashed off. Just as Chu Qianlou was about to say something, Pang Qi stopped her, "Sister Chu, help me bring He¡¯Er and Xingteng away. That person is called Jing Jiangsan, a Nihility God Stage Level 6 expert. Pang Qi was afraid Chu Qianlou might offer to help him so he hurried to say what he felt was necessary as he didn¡¯t want to implicate Chu Qianlou into this. Chu Qianlou was stunned because a Nihility God Stage Level 6 was still stronger than herself. If she was alone, she wouldn¡¯t mind but she really didn¡¯t dare to act with Zi Han beside her. That plump cultivator called Jing Jiangsan appeared to have heard Pang Qi¡¯s words and laughed coldly, "You think you can run after stealing something from the Jing Clan?" As he spoke, the plump cultivator had already blocked off Chu Qianlou and co.¡¯s escape route. Before Jing Qiliang received his go ahead report to capture the thieves, he really wouldn¡¯t dare to act. However, he believed that it would be easy for him to be approved. After all, Pang Qi and co. were only a few tiny rogue cultivators and the Jing Clan had already hugged tightly onto the Yan Clan¡¯s thigh because the person walking with Jing Danwu was Yan Clan¡¯s young talent Yan Yangdong. The Yan Clan was one of the three big clans of the Star King Mountain and Yan Yangdong himself was already a genius but his younger brother, Yan Yangnan, was even more capable than him and was even ranked number one on the Mortal Board. Indeed, within half an incense time, Jing Qiliang came back with a token in his hand. He handed over the token to the fatty, Jing Jiangsan, "Uncle San, this is my Jing Clan¡¯s warrant to catch the thieves and it allows us to catch three people." Finishing, he said with a low voice, "The other two are from the Chu Clan and one of them is Chu Zhongshen¡¯s daughter, Chu Qianlou so it would be wiser not to touch these two." Jing Jiangsan nodded his head and said to Jing Qiliang, "Catch Pang Qi and the two others and bring them back to the Jing Clan immediately." "Sister Chu, you should bring Zi Han and leave here now," When sh*t hits the fence, Pang Qi was even calmer than before. Chu Qianlou could only sigh because even if she didn¡¯t want to leave, she wouldn¡¯t dare to act too. The other party was a Nihility God Stage expert who was clearly much stronger than herself. If she dared to act against him, Zi Han and herself might not be able to escape even before she could execute half a move against him. There were battles and fights at the Universal Pier everyday so the most common thing would be all sorts of commotions. Now that the Jing Clan was planning to arrest Pang Qi and co. on the first level of the Universal Pier, the surrounding cultivators all gathered to watch the show. Jing Jiangsan gave Jing Qiliang a glance to signal him to end the battle as soon as possible and not waste any time fooling around in front of so many eyes. Jing Qiliang nodded his head and took a step forward with his huge arm ready to capture Pang Qi. For a True Lake Stage Level 3 cultivator like himself to capture a few Yuan Dan Stage cultivators, it was as easy as breathing and eating. Pang Qi set his heart straight and was ready to fight for his life. He knew that if they were brought out of the Universal Hall, it would mean an extremely miserable fate that would lie ahead of them. Pang Qi and Xingteng would probably just be sentenced to death but the moment Rong He was brought back to the Jing Clan, he was afraid that Rong He would rather die than live there. Who knows how many b*stards would torutue and ill-treat her before selling her to the Double Cultivator Building for everyone there to use her indecently. However, Pang Qi realised very quickly that he was completely helpless against his opponent. Jing Qiliang was way stronger than himself and even his strongest aura was immediately restrained by Jing Qiliang without any sweat. Pang Qi sighed because he had let down Rong He. If he was able to move now, he would instantly kill Rong He first to prevent her from suffering any inhumane tortures in the future. "Creak!" A bone cracking sound could be heard and Pang Qi no longer felt any restraint as his whole body started to loosen up and before he understood what was going on, he heard a gentle voice, "Trying to capture my friend? Have you asked me?" "Brother Mo?" Pang Qi looked surprisingly with his mouth wide opened at Mo Wuji, who was standing right in front of him. He had personally witnessed Mo Wuji fighting with a True Lake Stage elementary stage expert and back then, Mo Wuji was able to kill him through his own personal means and tactics. But now, Jing Qiliang was choked by Mo Wuji as he carried Jing Qiliang by the throat. Evidently, the bone cracking sound heard earlier on was from the cracking of Jing Qiliang¡¯s throat. Pang Qi was very sure that Jing Qiliang was in True Lake Stage Level 3. How could it be possible that within a year, Mo Wuji¡¯s strength increased to such an incredibly high level and treated a True Lake Stage expert like a small chicken? Mo Wuji swung his hand and threw Jing Qiliang far away as he crashed into a round pillar in the hall of the first level of the Universal Pier. If this wasn¡¯t the Universal Hall, he would have immediately killed Jing Qiliang. "Who are you? How dare you obstruct us, Jing Clan, capture thieves?" Jing Jiangsan looked at the menacing Mo Wuji as his surrounding aura charged towards Mo Wuji while taking a step forward, readied not let Mo Wuji go anywhere. Mo Wuji shifted his step, swung his hand yet again and Jing Jiangsan¡¯s aura that was charging towards him disappeared without a trace. Even though he was only in True Lake Stage Level 4, it didn¡¯t mean that any Nihility God Stage expert could restrain him using their aura. He could even easily kill an expert at the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage so how dare a Nihility God Stage Level 6 cultivator try to restrain him? He was simply daydreaming. Chapter 306: You Are Ranked on the Universal Board? Chapter 306: You Are Ranked on the Universal Board? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "So you are the one who likes to falsely accuse people, a member of the Jing Clan who used beauty to trick people?" Mo Wuji said sarcastically. In his heart, he pitied Pang Qi because even though the things Pang Qi did seemed brainless, it was only because he went through all the emotions that he would do what he did. Back then, Mo Wuji was outstanding in everything he did but when it comes to love, wasn¡¯t he as idiotic as Pang Qi? Regardless, he will never be able to forgive the fact that Xia Ruoyin acted against him. Even if Xia Ruoyin had perfectly legitimate reasons to have him dead, Mo Wuji should have the right to know. However, Xia Ruoyin chose not to tell him anything. Seeing how Mo Wuji broke his aura pressure so casually, Jing Jiangsan became much more explosive as his body flashed and his hand was already reaching out to grab Mo Wuji. In his eyes, Mo Wuji would at most be in the True Lake Stage but to deceive him, he felt that Mo Wuji intentionally hide his dao movement. Jing Jiangsan didn¡¯t believe he would fail to take down a mere True Lake Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t move an inch this time as he threw a fist at Jing Jiangsan. He wanted to test how big a difference there was between himself and a Nihility God Stage Level 6. "Bang!" Elemental energy exploded and Mo Wuji was hurt by the incredible amount of elemental energy released at him. He was forced back about 10 steps before being able to stabilise himself as he felt a dull pain in his chest. Mo Wuji was not surprised but actually pleased. Even though he was still not a match against his opponent in terms of level of elemental energy, it was evidently not possible for the other party to kill him in space. Jing Jiangsan¡¯s heart was shocked and at that moment, he was sure that Mo Wuji was a Nihility God Stage expert. Even though his attack was not 100% of his strength, he didn¡¯t believe that a True Lake Stage cultivator would be able to defend against that. "Who are the people who dare to fight in the Universal Pier?" A strong surge of energy came flying over and a tall man landed in between Mo Wuji and Jing Jiangsan. From the man¡¯s token on his waist, everyone could tell that this was the Universal Pier¡¯s enforcer. Whoever dared to violate the rules here at the Universal Pier would be killed on the spot without mercy. "Mo Wuji greets Lord Enforcer. My friends and I were simply gathering here but this fella and his friends took the initiative to provoke us," Mo Wuji saw the enforcer and immediately showed his respect and explained the situation. This fella should be slightly weaker than Jing Jiangsan but Mo Wuji was sure that he would not have a pleasant ending if he were to offend the law enforcer in this place. Moreover, he was clear that he was not at wrong because whether it¡¯s Pang Qi and co. or himself, they weren¡¯t the one who started the fight. In this Universal Hall, you won¡¯t be in the wrong as long as you didn¡¯t start the fight. Jing Jiangsan also hurried to bow and pay his respects, "Ardent Sun City Jing Clan¡¯s disciple Jing Jiangsan greets Lord Enforcer." Hearing that it was a member of the Jing Clan from the Ardent Sun City, there was a slight change in expression on the face of this enforcer. Evidently, in terms of status, the Jing Clan from the Ardent Sun City would definitely be above a rogue cultivator. Since Mo Wuji didn¡¯t report his origin, the enforcer had already guessed that he was a rogue cultivator. "Please state the specific reason," The enforcer asked in a faint voice. Mo Wuji knew that things would not end up well when he saw the enforcer questioning Jing Jiangsan with such a gentle tone. Indeed, Jing Jiangsan took a glance at Mo Wuji and said, "Answering Lord Enforcer¡¯s question, these few people were originally guards of my Jing Clan. However, they stole some items of my Jing Clan and ran away with it. It was only till today that I managed to get hold of them and just a while earlier, I had already made a report for permission to capture them." After hearing that Jing Jiangsan had already made his report, this enforcer nodded his head and turned to Mo Wuji and co. "The few of you follow me now." After saying that, he indicated to Jing Jiangsan and said, "You follow us too." Mo Wuji knew that if he were to follow this enforcer, he might not be able to make it back anymore. "Lord Enforcer, I believe that we can find out the truth of this situation in front of the crowd. The truth was that the Jing Clan¡¯s members were lying. The Jing Clan wanted a treasure which belonged to my friend, Pang Qi, so they let a woman named Jing Danwu to get close to him intentionally¡­" Even before letting Mo Wuji finished his sentence, this enforcer grunted coldly, "Do I still need you to teach me how to enforce the law here? Follow me immediately or I will kill you without any discussion." Initially, Chu Qianlou was still relieved to see Mo Wuji arrived at the scene but she didn¡¯t expect things to turn out like this. She hurried to step out to say something. However, the enforcer didn¡¯t bother letting Chu Qianlou speak as he shouted, "Bring all those who are related to these people along too." Mo Wuji felt helpless because this fella clearly didn¡¯t want to offend the Jing Clan so he was resolute in taking down Mo Wuji and co. to earn some favour from the Jing Clan. But how can he simply follow this fella without any objection? "Your Excellency certainly has his way of threatening people, try to take me away if you have the guts," Mo Wuji¡¯s aura was bursting as lightning bolts were starting to surround his body. At this point, other than exaggerating this whole issue in front of everyone, he had no other choice. This wasn¡¯t something that could be explained with logic and reasoning so if he continued to be weak, the few of them could forget about leaving the Universal Pier alive. There were already a lot of bystanders to begin with but now that Mo Wuji was ready to battle the enforcer here, it attracted even more onlookers to join the crowd. Jing Jiangsan revealed an expression of ridicule as he didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji dared to go against his Jing Clan. In fact, he hadn¡¯t even start acting yet the other party couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. "Hahaha¡­I do want to see where a rogue cultivator like you find your energy to go against me, a Universal Hall Enforcer." As he spoke, he charged towards Mo Wuji just like Jing Jiangsan did earlier. Chu Qianlou was sweating nervously but she didn¡¯t know what she could do to help. Since things had already turned out like this, Mo Wuji could no longer retreat and his only way out would be to rush to the third level and escape into space through the spatial gates. Just as this enforcer grabbed Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji shot out an explosive lightning. "Boom!" The hand that reached out to grabbed Mo Wuji was blast broken by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning because he was only in Nihility God Stage Level 2, which was not even as strong as Jing Jiangsan. However, he was too well taken care of in his position as an enforcer because who would dare do anything to an enforcer of the Enforcer Hall? In front of an expert with a higher level of cultivation than himself, he just needed to lower his voice. In front of Mo Wuji, he was simply trying to show off his aura. Even if he didn¡¯t show off, he wouldn¡¯t even fear an immature young man like Mo Wuji. However, after Mo Wuji broke his wrist with just a lightning bolt, he realised that Mo Wuji was not any weaker than himself. The more shocking thing was that Mo Wuji actually dared to retaliate. "Bang!" This Nihility God Stage enforcer shot out a light radiance without any hesitation. This was a signal to ask for help whenever the enforcer was met with a stronger cultivator than themselves. Everyone looked pitifully at Mo Wuji and co. because they all knew that Mo Wuji and co. would definitely have it worse than death. "Boom!" A terrifying aura came crashing down and this was the first time Mo Wuji was forced a few steps backwards because of one¡¯s aura as he knocked onto Chu Qianlou. Chu Qianlou even reached out to make sure Mo Wuji don¡¯t fall any further backwards. This person must definitely be in the advanced stage of the True God Stage, otherwise, Mo Wuji would not have experienced such a terrifying strength. In the very next moment, Mo Wuji confirmed the other party¡¯s strength and started to worry for himself. Under the watch of a True God Stage expert, would he be able to make it to level 3 and escape into space? Even if he did managed to escape into space, what could he do there? If there really wasn¡¯t any other way, he would use the order flag that Mou Lanhan gave him. Honestly, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t want to use this order flag because if he used it, it meant that he would owe him a favor in the future. Following which, a yellow bearded man landed on the first level of the Universal Pier and he swept his eyes across Mo Wuji and co. as well as Jing Jiangsan and his gang before landing beside the enforcer who had his hand broken by Mo Wuji. "Speak!" The yellow bearded man only mentioned one word. This enforcer immediately added a lot of extra details into explaining how Mo Wuji defied the enforcer¡¯s instructions. The yellow bearded man glared at Mo Wuji once again before asking coldly, "Is that true?" If it was a normal cultivator, why would the yellow bearded man bother to talk so much? It was only because he saw that while Mo Wuji had not reached the Nihility God Stage, he actually managed to injure Huang Zhan. As to why his dao was not obvious, there were far too many cultivators who prefer to hide their own cultivation level from the rest. It wouldn¡¯t even be easy for a True Lake Stage cultivator to break Huang Zhan¡¯s wrist even if Huang Zhan underestimate his opponent and lowered his guard. If Mo Wuji really did managed to hurt an elementary stage Nihility God Stage expert while only being in the True Lake Stage, then Mo Wuji simply wasn¡¯t just a rogue cultivator. There was one more issue and that was the fact that the Universal Hall was still currently reorganising their strength. In front of so many onlookers, if he didn¡¯t handle this situation well, it might have a great impact if words were to spread out. If he was not careful and made a mistake in handling this situation, he might not be able to lift his head ever again in the Universal Hall. Therefore, before asking and being clear of the situation, he wouldn¡¯t act recklessly. Mo Wuji cupped his fists and said calmly, "That person was speaking rubbish as he clearly wanted to secretly help the Jing Clan which was why he was biased towards them. The truth was that the Jing Clan tried to snatch my friend¡¯s ancestral inheritance by letting the Jing Clan¡¯s lady act innocent so as to seduce my friend. Now that they have taken the item, they want to silence him." Jing Jiangsan hurried to step forward and said, "Senior Yu, the truth isn¡¯t¡­" From Jing Jiangsan¡¯s words, others could tell that he recognised this True God Stage expert. The yellow bearded man grunted, "I haven¡¯t ask you anything yet." He didn¡¯t really bother about a person who knew so much about the Jing Clan. The Jing Clan at best was only hugging onto the Yan Clan¡¯s thigh to gain fame so he didn¡¯t really need to care about Jing Jiangsan¡¯s status. "Show me your universal token," The yellow bearded man said to Mo Wuji in a serious tone. Mo Wuji took out and handed his universal token to the yellow bearded man. "Mo Wuji, Universal Contribution Points: 26811, Ranking: 9951," This man looked at the words on Mo Wuji¡¯s token and asked shockingly at Mo Wuji, "You are ranked on the Universal Board?" Mo Wuji could tell that this yellow bearded man had no intentions to betray them to the Jing Clan and it seemed like he would receive a different treatment just because he was ranked on the Universal Board so he quickly clasped his fist and answered, "In reply to senior, junior had just made it on the Universal Board." After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Jing Jiangsan felt a hum in his head and his entire body was dazed. Chapter 307: Scram After Apologizing Chapter 307: Scram After Apologizing Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A cultivator who could leave their name on the Universal Board was not someone his Jing Clan could casually offend. Even if the other party was a rogue cultivator, they still couldn¡¯t afford to offend him. This was still not the most important reason why he was worried because the most important reason was that the moment Mo Wuji was a ranked personnel on the Universal Board, it would simply be impossible for him to casually brush this incident aside. When the people all around them heard that Mo Wuji was a cultivator ranked on the Universal Board, all of them stared at Mo Wuji enviously. There were a total of four big boards in the Zhen Mo Continent and the most prestigious one was not the Heaven, Earth, Mortal Board but the Universal Board. Don¡¯t think it¡¯s nothing incredible just because there were about over 10,000 people on the main and secondary Universal Board. When you spread this 10,000 people all around the entire Zhen Mo Continent, they were as rare as the hair of a phoenix and everyone of them was well admired and respected by the majority of cultivators. Just imagine if there were only 10,000 university graduates on Earth and if you spread them out, just how small would the density of graduates be? And if you were to throw Earth into Zhen Mo Continent, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to find Earth because of its size as compared to Zhen Mo Continent. Chu Qianlou was ecstatic when she heard that Mo Wuji had been ranked on the Universal Board. She knew that the Jing Clan would no longer be able to pressurize them unless the Yan Clan decided to act. Just as Chu Qianlou thought of this, the man standing beside Jing Danwu stepped forward, walked in front of Mo Wuji and clasped his fist before saying, "Your name is Mo Wuji and you managed to ascend the Universal Board?" Mo Wuji had no idea who he was but he was already able to guess that the person beside him was the woman called Jing Danwu. Since he was standing beside Jing Danwu, Mo Wuji guessed that he should be Jing Danwu¡¯s lover. This fella should only be in the intermediate stage of the True Lake Stage and for a True Lake Stage to step out to speak without the yellow bearded man saying anything, Mo Wuji knew that this fella¡¯s origin must have been extraordinary. "That¡¯s right," Mo Wuji said in a serious tone. He had even killed a member of the Xia Clan therefore, so what if the other party was a little stronger than the Xia Clan? "My name is Yan Yangdong and I come from the Star King Mountain. I have no issue with your disagreements with the Jing Clan but you shouldn¡¯t have insulted my woman. The shameless Jing Danwu you talked about, she is my woman," Yan Yangdong¡¯s tone was cold and brought along traces of killing intent with it. The yellow bearded man sighed because since Mo Wuji had ascended the secondary Universal Board, an average clan like the Jing Clan, without legitimate reasons, would not be able to do anything to Mo Wuji. However, the Yan Clan was definitely not an average clan. Only a person ranked on the main Universal Board would be able to avoid being bullied by the Yan Clan. There were a total of 1000 people on the main Universal Board and which one of them wasn¡¯t an outstanding talent of this world? There were a bunch of World Immortals and even the existence of some Earthly Immortals. Even the lowest of them would be at least an expert in the Great Circle of the True God Stage. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because this fella came from the Star King Mountain with the name Yan Yangdong and even dared to step in front of the yellow bearded man to speak. Mo Wuji was 100% sure that this person was a member of the Star King Mountain¡¯s Yan Clan. No wonder Pang Qi would be fooled till he lost his head by Jing Danwu because this Jing Danwu must be something else to be able to climb onto a Yan Clan¡¯s cultivator so quickly after kicking Pang Qi away. Before waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s reply, Yan Yangdong continued, "I won¡¯t bully you so let¡¯s head to the Universal Hall¡¯s Deathmatch Battlestage and we would be responsible for our own death." Hearing Yan Yangdong¡¯s words, the crowd started to discuss enthusiastically as there were raging anticipations in many of the onlookers¡¯ eyes. Mo Wuji turned his head to Chu Qianlou and asked inquisitively, "What is the Deathmatch Battlestage?" Chu Qianloy whispered, "In the Universal Hall, if two people held grudges against each other and as long as both parties are willing, they could battle at the Deathmatch Battlestage. There was this rule regarding the Deathmatch Battlestage and that was once two people stepped onto the Deathmatch Battlestage, at most one person could come down from it. Which means that the battle would only end when both died or one of the two died. Other than the Deathmatch Battlestage, there was also a Challenge Arena. The Challenge Arena was a little more lenient because as long as one of the two admits defeat, they would be able to leave the Arena." Mo Wuji nodded his head as he saw Yan Yangdong staring at him with traces of killing intent and disdain in his eyes. He knew that most of those people who came from prestigious clans had such such haughty confidence in themselves. In terms of confidence, Mo Wuji would never lose to these fellas of the big clans as he said calmly, "You are not worthy to be my opponent, entering the battlestage would only cost you your life." "Hahahaha¡­" Yan Yangdong laughed out loud as if he had just heard the world¡¯s funniest joke. Up till today, this was the first time Yan Yangdong heard someone of the same cultivation level as him saying that he was not worthy to be his opponent. "Accept the deathmatch if you have the guts, if not, you can just plead for forgiveness. If you kneel down to apologise in front of my woman, I will let you off once based on the fact that you made it onto the Universal Board," Yan Yangdong was originally only haughty but now, he was fuming. Even though he had never been ranked first on the Mortal Board before, he was still within the top 100 of the Mortal Board. After he advanced to the True Lake Stage, his strength increased explosively fast. So what if Mo Wuji entered the Universal Board? When he truly enters the space, the Universal Board would only be a backyard. "Since you insist on the battle, we shall battle then," Mo Wuji said faintly. He didn¡¯t wish to offend members of the Yan Clan but if Yan Yangdong insisted on battling him to a deathmatch, he had nothing to fear. Since he had already offend the Xia Clan, it wouldn¡¯t mean much to offend another Yan Clan. "You have guts so I won¡¯t take advantage of you. I shall see you at the Deathmatch Battlestage three days later," Yan Yangdong laughed and said to Jing Jiangsan and co. "Let¡¯s go, I need to exchange some things on the second level." In his words, he simply didn¡¯t put the deathmatch three days later in his heart. After knowing that Mo Wuji was someone with a ranking on the Universal Board, Jing Jiangsan had long gave up on the thought of bringing Mo Wuji and co. back to the Jing Clan because he simply couldn¡¯t wait for Mo Wuji to stay far away from them. He was even rejoicing at the fact that Yan Yangdong had challenged Mo Wuji to the deathmatch because he would then be getting rid of a trouble for the Jing Clan. Otherwise, it would definitely not be good for a Universal Board Expert to be the nemesis of the Jing Clan. It wouldn¡¯t be too late for him to wait for Yan Yangdong to kill Mo Wuji three days later bringing Pang Qi and the rest away. "Hold on," Mo Wuji called out to the rest. After waiting for the few of them to stop and look surprisingly at him, he shouted out to Jing Jiangsan, "Not mentioning the fact that your Jing Clan framed my friend but you even acted against the few of them. Are you just going to walk away like this?" Mo Wuji could tell from Jing Jiangsan and the yellow bearded enforcer¡¯s reaction that he had some power given the fact that he was ranked on the Universal Board. If he had power but didn¡¯t make use of it, he wouldn¡¯t be Mo Wuji anymore. Jing Jiangsan panicked because all he wanted to do was to leave early but he didn¡¯t expect that even though he didn''t find trouble with Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji actually bothered to find fault with him. "Why? You want to find trouble with the Jing Clan?" Yan Yangdong frowned as his Yan Clan had a clan rule which was to not be so arrogant openly. But now, he wasn¡¯t acting all arrogant in public but this small rogue cultivator, after barely making it to the Universal Board, dare to be so arrogant in front of him? Mo Wuji looked at Yan Yangdong with a disdainful look and said, "If Your Excellency wants to challenge me now, I would welcome you with open arms. If your Yan Clan wants to fight for Jing Clan, just come at me. I, Mo Wuji, would accept it." If this Yan Yangdong wanted to challenge him, Mo Wuji would definitely kill him. Since this was the case, he wouldn¡¯t need to worry about how not to offend the Yan Clan. After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the people around the area all breathed in cold air. This fella must be something extraordinary to be able to make it onto the Universal Board but isn¡¯t this a little too insane? To challenge the Yan Clan in public? However, this sentence from Mo Wuji actually made Yan Yang speechless. He wasn¡¯t afraid of Mo Wuji but he was fearful of his Yan Clan¡¯s clan rules instead. One of his clan rule was that they were not allowed to casually use their clan¡¯s name to avenge for other clan even against a rogue cultivator. Now that Mo Wuji had openly challenge his Yan Clan, if he were to talk back, it would mean that he was violating his clan rule by using the Yan Clan¡¯s name to avenge for others. Fortunately, as Mo Wuji saw that Yan Yangdong didn¡¯t talk back, he didn¡¯t bother about him anymore as he stood in front of Jing Jiangsan and said, "Return what the Jing Clan stole from my friend and then apologize and scram." "You¡¯re simply being a bully. My Jing Clan¡¯s Jing Qiliang already had his throat broken by you so what more do you want?" Jing Jiangsan was enraged so he could only look at the yellow beard enforcer when he noticed that Yan Yangdong was not saying anything. The True God Stage enforcer was not an idiot so why would he say anything to help the Jing Clan when he saw that Mo Wuji clearly didn¡¯t even put the Yan Clan in his eyes? Furthermore, from the looks of their conversation and reactions, it seemed like the Jing Clan really accused Mo Wuji¡¯s friend of theft. Mo Wuji laughed out loud, "Your Jing Clan acted first so can¡¯t we defend ourselves? I know your Jing Clan had always been very overbearing but however overbearing you are, you have to follow the rules here right?" While speaking, Mo Wuji glanced at Chu Qianlou as he immediately prepared to fight. Jing Clan acted first but that yellow bearded enforcer didn¡¯t say anything so it proved that it would be okay for him to act too. In this place, one shouldn¡¯t be afraid to act, but be afraid to have no reason to act. In fact, one should be the most shameful if you had reasons but dare not act. If he had the upper hand today and not act against the Jing Clan, he was afraid that he might need to lower his head as he walked in the Universal Hall in the future. "Haha¡­" Jing Jiangsan laughed, "You barely made it onto the tailend of the Universal Board and you dare to frighten us? My Jing Clan has been living in the Ardent Sun City for so many years and we¡¯ve been growing through scares¡­" Jing Jiangsan paused while speaking because Mo Wuji had already took a step forward and an octagonal steel hammer was already smashing towards him. People surrounding them were all staring shockingly at Mo Wuji because as much as Mo Wuji had his reasonings, it was simply too incredible for them to witness a True Lake Stage cultivator to act so wilfully against a Nihility God Stage Level 6 cultivator. Chapter 308: Yan Yangdong’s Strength Chapter 308: Yan Yangdong¡¯s Strength Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations There were people from all over the region here therefore, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to take out his Tian Ji Pole because Gu Shaoyi recognised his Tian Ji Pole. The moment he took it out to use, words might spread to Gu Shaoyi very quickly. The octagonal steel hammer was the best spiritual item among his intermediate grade items in his storage ring and it was equivalent to being half a top grade spiritual item. Since he didn¡¯t have any specific pole techniques, it wouldn¡¯t make much of a difference between using his steel hammer and Tian Ji Pole. "Bang!" Before Mo Wuji¡¯s octagonal steel hammer could complete its full swing, it was grabbed with one hand. "The Universal Pier is the most important place in the Universal Hall so how can we fight here? Mo Wuji, given that this was your first offence, I will not fault you this time round," The yellow bearded man released Mo Wuji¡¯s steel hammer and said calmly. Mo Wuji was naturally not that autistic to go against an advanced stage of the True God Stage enforcer. His intention to make the first move was so that if this enforcer don¡¯t do anything to stop him, Mo Wuju would combine forces with Chu Qianlou to take down Jing Jiangsan. If this enforcer were to step forward to stop him, he would definitely not insist. "Yes, Lord Enforcer," Mo Wuji kept the steel hammer in his hand and clasped his fist before saying, "Lord Enforcer, the members of the Jing Clan framed us and even took the initiative to attack us, how are you going to go about this?" The yellow bearded man furrowed his brows and said, "The framing incident has nothing to do with my Universal Hall since it was your own personal issues. However, I will go investigate about your claim that Jing Clan initiated the fight. Three days later, I promise to give you an explanation." "Many thanks Lord Enforcer," Mo Wuji and co. hurried to expressed their gratitude. Jing Jiangsan dared not say anything because Pang Qi and co. ended up with no injuries while his Jing Clan¡¯s men and even Jing Qiliang was severely wounded. As for the fact that he did made his report first before attacking Mo Wuji and co, he kept silent over it. Such means were still possible to scare some rogue cultivators but if he were to say such things in front of a True God Stage Enforcer, the enforcer might become enraged. This was because accusing someone of stealing here would be too apparent here. "Yes, that¡¯s all," This True God Stage expert nodded his head and grabbed the enforcer with the surname ¡®Huang¡¯ before disappearing into thin air. He didn¡¯t even mention anything about Mo Wuji injuring the enforcer with the surname ¡®Huang¡¯. "Brother Mo, if not for you, we¡­" Rong He¡¯s tone was slightly agitated because she was clearer than all people that she would not have a pleasant treatment if they were brought back by the Jing Clan. Pang Qu and Xiong Xingteng didn¡¯t thank him any further because to them, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t only save their lives but also their pride. They vowed to give their lives to Mo Wuji if anything were to happen in the future so any more appreciative words were simply unnecessary. Mo Wuji laughed, "I was held up in space for a while which was why I was so late. Let¡¯s go to a restaurant to sit down and discuss further." He wasn¡¯t the only one who was clear that what the yellow bearded enforcer meant by giving him a detailed explanation three days later. Everyone else knew that there would not be an investigation going on and the explanation three days later would depend on who was the winner. If Mo Wuji lost, it would mean death and there would be nothing left to say to him. If he won, this would mean that Yan Yangdong died and if this was the ending, even Mo Wuji had no idea how the enforcer was going to give him an explanation. He didn¡¯t believe that the yellow bearded man would be willing to bear the consequences of offending the Yan Clan by giving him a perfect explanation. To that yellow bearded man, the best scenario would be that Mo Wuji was killed by Yan Yangdong. ¡­ In the Universal Hall, there was the most number of hotels and inns. Universal Pier Hotel was one of the most renowned hotel in the Universal Hall. Not only was the atmosphere comfortable but the things they sell here were also the best. Naturally, the price would be the highest here. However, Mo Wuji liked this place a lot because other than being able to talk over wine, they provided lodging as well. Even though the spiritual energy here was not as dense and pure as the one at the Thorny Wind Gate, it was much better than many other places here. "Brother Mo, this time, I was the one who dragged you into this trouble," The moment they entered their private room, Pang Wi stood up and said. At this moment, they couldn¡¯t see any more sorrow on his face. Chu Qianlou said, "Earlier on, they insisted on leaving the Universal Hall for good but I had no idea how to convince them to stay." Rong He explained, "I am simply too weak and had to constantly use Sister Chu¡¯s contribution points. Perhaps this place was not suitable for us which was why Brother Qi suggested the idea to leave. Mo Wuji signalled everyone to take a seat before saying, "If the problem is the contribution points, it isn¡¯t a problem. I have a few hundred thousand contribution points now so it would be more than enough for all of us to stay here. Furthermore, if you were to leave now, you all would simply be like sheeps entering a lion¡¯s den. My point is after everything here is settled, we will form a group to collect points in space and when all of your strength increased, we will leave this place. What do everyone think about this?" In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, there was only one motive for coming here, which was to collect contribution points relentlessly. The ranking on the Universal Board was dependent on the amount of contribution points collected so even you spent all 10,000 contribution points, they would still rank you with the 10,000 contribution points. Everyone understood what Mo Wuji meant by after everything here is settled. He was referring to his deathmatch with Yan Yangdong. "From today onwards, the three of us would follow Brother Mo¡¯s instructions, alive or dead," Pang Wi said without any hesitation. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Brother Pang is too serious, everyone here are friends so it was only right for us to look out for each other." Chu Qianlou¡¯s face was filled with worry as she said, "Wuji, do you know Yan Yangdong¡¯s true strength?" Mo Wuji shook his head and asked in serious tone, "I need Sister Chu to enlighten me." Even though he didn¡¯t regard Yan Yangdong highly, it would still be crucial for him to understand his opponent. He would never bring contempt into a battle because he would simply be risking his little life. Chu Qianlou continued to explain, "Yan Clan¡¯s most talented rising star was Yan Yangnan who was Yan Yangdong¡¯s younger brother. Yan Yangnan was ranked first on the Mortal Board while Yan Yangdong was at most ranked number 76 on the Mortal Board. In terms of strength in the Mortal Realm, Yan Yangdong should not be stronger than his younger brother, Yan Yangnan. However, a few years ago, Yan Yangdong received a supreme inheritance which led to an incredible surge in his strength. When he just entered the intermediate stage of the True Lake Stage, he managed to kill a Nihility God Stage Level 1 expert in a head to head battle. One could say that in terms of strength in the Earth Realm, Yan Yangdong was already far more superior than Yan Yangnan. I guessed that Yan Yangdong was no longer in the True Lake Stage Level 5 but Level 6 instead. He was extremely secretive so I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if he is in Level 7 already. What I am surprised was that he actually challenge you for a woman which was extremely unlike him." Mo Wuji was emotionless because he had killed a Nihility God Stage expert before and the one he killed was even in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. However, that all happened in the Thorny Wind Gate and it was because he understood the Wind Escape Technique and was able to become one with the wind which was why his strength had no limits in an extreme realm like the Thorny Wind Gate. Moreover, the strength of his opponent would decrease tremendously against himself too. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be able to defeat an expert in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage. Mo Wuji predicted that given his strength now, he should be able to use various means to severely injure an expert in the average elementary stage of the Nihility God Stage. As to finishing the opponent off, he had to look at the circumstances. However, it didn¡¯t take Mo Wuji very long to realise that the Yan Yangdong could have used a variety of tricks to defeat the Nihility God Stage Level 1 expert too. Regardless the case, the fact that Yan Yangdong dared to challenge him to a deathmatch after witnessing Mo Wuji broke a Nihility God Stage Level 2 expert¡¯s wrist proved that this fella must be quite confident in himself. "Many thanks Sister Chu, I will be careful," Mo Wuji said. He kind of understood that the yellow bearded True Lake Stage enforcer had given him a lot of face because the truth was that he didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji would be able to defeat Yan Yangdong. Mo Wuji sighed because he didn¡¯t think that what the yellow bearded man did was wrong. If the Yan Clan was truly that powerful, it was actually pretty incredible for him to do such thing. Borrowing the strength of someone else would always be a secondary mean because one had to depend on himself eventually. Mo Wuji was suddenly rejoicing that he didn''t take out Mou Lanhan¡¯s order flag because how sure could he be that the Mou Clan would be willing to go against the Yan Clan for a mere True Lake Stage expert like himself? ¡­ The incident at the Universal Pier made everyone in the Universal Hall excited in an instant. Whether it was the newcomers or experienced experts here at the Universal Hall, there was only one topic of discussion these few days which was the deathmatch between a rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji and the Yan Clan¡¯s genius, Yan Yangdong of the Star King Mountain three days later. As rumours of this deathmatch spread even further, even cultivators of the Piercing Wind City and the Nine Mo City heard of it as many of them started to make their way to the Universal Hall. They wanted to see how fierce this rogue cultivator was to dare to act against an enforcer and even accepted the deathmatch from Star King Mountain¡¯s Yan Clan. The Universal Hall suddenly became overcrowded because other than a few major universal battle, there was seldom such a crowd at the Universal Hall. At this moment, two men and two women descended from the transfer array outside the Universal Hall. One of them used a veil to cover her face. "Senior apprentice sister Suting, is that Mo Wuji really a member of the Heaven Seeking Palace?" The person speaking was a man standing beside the woman with a veil on her face. This man had a slender figure with a pretty face and he looked extremely handsome. This four people came over from the Lost Continent too and they were all disciples of the Heaven Seeking Palace. The person standing in front was the woman with her face covered as she was previously the Heaven Seeking Palace number one dean, Bei Suting. Currently, she had already reached the True God Stage Level 8 and had stepped into the real realm of experts. The handsome young man asking Bei Suting questions was the Heaven Seeking Palace second dean, Feng Zhenqiu¡¯s only son, Feng Luojian. Previously, he was only in the True Lake Stage Level 3 but after a few years, he had already advanced into the Nihility God Stage Level 1. The other person beside Bei Suting was Pill Pagoda¡¯s Yan¡¯Er and her cultivation level increased the quickest as she had already reached True Lake Stage Level 6. The last person was a skinny man called Gou Zihan who was previously ranked number one on the Heaven Seeking Staircase and his cultivation level was at True Lake Level 7 now. After hearing Feng Luojian¡¯s words, Bei Suting hesitated before saying, " I am not very sure but since he¡¯s called Mo Wuju, we had to come and take a look because what if it was really him?" As she spoke till this moment, senior apprentice sister Suting suddenly said, "Yan¡¯Er, after we settled down, come to my room for a while as I have some things to say to you." "Yes, Sister Suting," Yan¡¯Er replied respectfully. "Mo Wuji, Universal Contribution Points: 26811, Ranking: 9951¡­ very powerful..." Gou Zihan stopped abruptly as he was reading. After being in the Zhen Mo Continent for a few years now, the previous number one on the Heaven Seeking Staircase clearly knew how hard it was to make it onto the Universal Board. The remaining three people stopped as they also saw the secondary Universal Board. Ranked 9951 on the secondary Universal Board was indeed Mo Wuji. "Truly a rogue cultivator," Senior Suting murmured to herself. Chapter 309: The Young Must Be Hot-blooded Chapter 309: The Young Must Be Hot-blooded Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Let''s quickly go in and take a look." Bei Suting hastened her footsteps and headed towards the Universal Hall. At the True God Stage Level 8, Bei Suting could be considered an expert here. However, the number of True God experts here wasn¡¯t as little as that in the Lost Continent. If you grabbed a group of people, there was likely to be a True God expert in the group. Thus, only those True God experts who have demonstrated their prowess, such as Mou Lanhan, were revered. Ordinary True God experts, who had yet to advance into the Worldly Immortal Realm, were still low-profile existences. The Universal Pier Hotel was long filled to the brim; the rooms were all booked. Bei Suting and co. came relatively late so they could only choose a resting spot within the main hall. At the very least, they could inquire more about Mo Wuji. When they arrived, they didn''t even need to do any special inquiries. Almost 90% of the cultivators here were discussing about the deathmatch. "That Mo Wuji fella is really¡­ Aish, I really don''t know what to say about him. Do you think it''s easy to enter the Universal Board? But he chose to court his own death so soon. So young, so hot-blooded¡­" a man with a goatee said, shaking his head. "Why are you so sure that Yan Yangdong would win? Since it''s a deathmatch, one would live while the other would die. No one could say for sure that Mo Wuji would be the one to die." "What do you know ah¡­ That Yan Yangdong is a genius from the Star King Mountain. At True Lake Stage Level 4, he killed a cultivator at Nihility God Stage Level 1. Even if Mo Wuji is strong, is he able to kill a Nihility God?" "Mo Wuji was able to injure Enforcer Huang, and that Enforcer Huang is at least at Nihility God Stage Level 2 right?" As these people were discussing, a black robed man with a slightly emaciated figure suddenly walled in front of them. These people who were still discussing the deathmatch between Mo Wuji and Yan Yangdong immediately stopped their words as they turned and faced this thin man doubtfully. Besides his thin figure, this black robed man¡¯s entire body was like a sword, exuding a sharp killing intent. Behind him, was a sheathless sword. His long hair was tied up and there was a red ribbon knotted on his right wrist. "Just now, the Mo Wuji you were talking about, he really fought with a Nihility God Stage enforcer? He even injured that enforcer''s wrist?" This black robed man¡¯s tone was very low. "Yes, I saw it with my own two eyes. Then, that enforcer acted against him first and he did not hesitate to resist. He even whipped out his spiritual equipment." Sensing that this thin man was not to be offended, one of the cultivators promptly replied him. The thin man nodded and unexpectedly turned and spoke to Goatee, "Your views are wrong, but one of your sentence is not bad. The young must be hot-blooded." With that, the thin man turned and left, soon disappearing from the bustling hall. "Who was that fella? He looked so arrogant¡­" Waiting for the thin man to leave, one of the cultivators finally spoke up. He only got to half of his sentence when he noticed Goatee''s face turning pale. He immediately stopped complaining and asked quizzically, "Brother Ju, you know that man?" Goatee slowly exhaled, then he said, "I believe all of you would have heard of him. He has a nickname, the Solitary Red Knot..." The crowd let out breaths of cold air. Those that never heard of Solitary Red Knot really only numbered a few. It''s said that his cultivation was not high; he wasn''t even in the Nihility God Stage. But that man was a maniac. He was once surrounded alone by a horde of space beasts, and after a whole month of slaughter, he slashed himself a road of blood." If someone encountered the Solitary Red Knot, if he didn''t eliminate the Solitary Red Knot immediately, he might end up getting eliminated. Because this man was too resilient, he was like a cockroach that couldn''t be killed. The craziest thing was, he accepted a mission at the Universal Pier, to find the Irregular Void Fruit. Ultimately, he camped outside a Class 7 space beast''s cave silently for three months, and finally took the opportunity when the space beast left briefly to sneak in and steal the Irregular Void Fruit. He was different from other people. No matter the time or place, he would also have a red ribbon tied around his right wrist. "That person looked like a woman, maybe he had disguised himself." "Perhaps she''s really a woman and she fancies Mo Wuji?" "Don''t spout nonsense, otherwise you might just die without knowing it. Mo Wuji might have gotten some fame recently, but compared to Solitary Red Knot, he''s still lacking." "Mo Wuji already has a beauty, that Chu Clan widow. Huiyo¡­ so tender that you just wanna squeeze her¡­" ... Not far away, Bei Suting frowned as she listened to the discussions. She started to suspect whether she had been overthinking things. The Mo Wuji she knew definitely wouldn¡¯t get together with a widow. He was someone who would exchange his life for a female slave¡¯s; he could endure all sorts of difficulties. From the little state of Cheng Yu, he went all the way to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, was this something an ordinary human could do? If he had such strong willpower, how could be seduced by a widow? She subconsciously looked towards Yan¡¯Er; Yan''Er''s face was calm, without a hint of emotion. Bei Suting sighed and stood up, "Come, let''s find a place to stay." She was still concerned about Cen Shuyin, there was still no news about her. Facing the juggernaut that was the Star King Mountain, even Bei Suting wouldn''t be able to protect herself, much less protect Cen Shuyin. ¡­ The Universal Hall was also dearth of rooms, the four searched for a good half a day before finally finding a relatively remote small shack. Furthermore, they were only able to stay there on the account that Bei Suting was a True God Stage expert. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t even have gotten this small shack. Originally, they planned to each have their own rooms, but because of the limited space, Bei Suting and Yan¡¯Er shared one room, while Gou Zihan and Feng Luojian shared another. "Sister Suting, did you want something from me?" When they entered the room, Yan¡¯Er asked softly. Bei Suting shook her head and sighed, "At first, I did have some words I wanted to talk to you, but now, I also feel that it¡¯s nothing much. Let¡¯s just leave things be. After some time, we might have to separate. Yan¡¯Er, your talent is no less than mine, you definitely need to continue working hard in your cultivation and strive to be a Worldly Immortal. If you¡¯re not a Worldly Immortal, you¡¯ll never truly be able to stand up for yourself." "Yes." Yan¡¯Er responded respectfully.¡¯ ¡­ Three days passed in a flash. In these three days, Mo Wuji had always been in his room cultivating his Revolving Star Passage Technique. His Revolving Star Passage Technique had already been honed to the fourth level of the Zhuan Stage, Qiankun Upheaval. However, this fourth level was much more complex than the previous levels of the Zhuan Stage. Even though he had reached this level, it didn¡¯t signify that he was familiarised with it. These few days, to Mo Wuji, was truly too short. Opening the door, Mo Wuji saw Chu Qianlou and co. waiting for him. "Where¡¯s Zi Han?" Mo Wuji did not see the Zi Han who was always tagging by Chu Qianlou¡¯s side, so he prompted that question. Chu Qianlou shook her head and spoke a little despondently, "She wants to undergo closed doors cultivation. I¡¯ll let her do what she wants." "Brother Mo, could you lend me some contribution points?" Rong He suddenly asked, but after she finished that sentence, her face swelled red in embarrassment. Over the past few days, she was staying here off Mo Wuji¡¯s contribution points, and now, she was even asking Mo Wuji for more. This was simply a bit too much. Mo Wuji stared curiously at Rong He; he knew Rong He, if it was nothing special, she definitely wouldn¡¯t ask him for contribution points. Pang Qi hurriedly explained, "It¡¯s like this. Betting stands have been set up throughout Universal Hall on who¡¯s going to end up victorious in your match. The greatest odds is 1 to 3." Mo Wuji asked in astonishment, "Brother Pang, you¡¯re saying, if I win, I will get three times the amount?" He clearly injured that Nihility God Stage Level 2 cultivator¡¯s wrist, but yet he was still looked down upon. This was too exaggerated, right? Chu Qianlou said, "Wuji, actually these odds are already very conservative. If you didn¡¯t rank in the Universal Board, and if you didn¡¯t injure that Enforcer Huang, the odds wouldn¡¯t simply be 1 to 3, but 1 to 30." "Then if I bet and win, would those contribution points be calculated into the Universal Board¡¯s rankings?" Mo Wuji asked urgently. His main goal here was to get as many contribution points as possible. Chu Qianlou shook her head, "No, the Universal Board only records the effective contribution points that was obtained firsthand. These contribution points obtained during the Star Wars and from missions in the Hall of Affairs. Contribution points obtained from secondary sources could only be used for transactional purposes and would not be counted into the rankings.: Mo Wuji was a little disappointed as he passed his universal over to Rong He, "Take as much as you need." Rong He hurriedly said, "I only need 3000 contribution points." "Then you can help me bet the rest on my victory. It¡¯s also not bad to earn a little extra contribution points," Mo Wuji waved his hand and said. ¡­ The Universal Hall had two competing stages, one was the Deathmatch Battlestage, the other was the Challenge Battlestage. When Mo Wuji was walking to the Deathmatch Battlestage, it was already filled to the brim with all sorts of cultivators. Luckily, Mo Wuji was a contestant so he could walk through a separate passage. Otherwise, if he needed to squeeze his way through to the battlestage, it would be a little problematic. When Mo Wuji arrived, he saw Yan Yangdong¡¯s slow walk to the Deathmatch Battlestage, with his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was calm as though he wasn¡¯t going to fight in a life and death battle. Deathmatches did not have judges, because there was no need for judges. There was only one cultivator in charge, and that was the commentator by the side of the stage. This commentator waited for Yan Yangdong to stand up on the stage before loudly announcing, "Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Cloud Hall, Yan Yangdong enters the death stage!" A flurry of cheers resounded, almost seeming to tear this Deathmatch Battlestage apart. "You guys wait for me by the stage, I¡¯m going up," Mo Wuji turned and told Chu Qianlou and co. "Be careful." Chu Qianlou and co. knew that things have already gotten to such a stage. It was already too late to retreat. Mo Wuji nodded and slowly walked up the Deathmatch Battlestage. "Universal Board Rank 9951, Mo Wuji enters the death stage!" The commentator announced once more. Chapter 310: You’ll Only Understand After Experiencing It Chapter 310: You¡¯ll Only Understand After Experiencing It Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment Mo Wuji stepped foot on the Deathmatch Battlestage, Bei Suting¡¯s gaze turned towards Yan¡¯Er. Here, the only person who could recognise Mo Wuji was Yan¡¯Er. Even though she had heard various things about Mo Wuji from Linglong, she had never personally seen him. Yan¡¯Er calmly nodded, "Sister Suting, he is indeed Mo Wuji, and he is, in fact, from the Heaven Seeking Palace." ¡­ The scene when they met each other appeared in front of Yan¡¯Er¡¯s eyes. "That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. Yan¡¯Er, you don¡¯t remember the past?" "Brother Mo, even though I may not remember what happened in the past, but my master told me, to always remember your kindness. If you didn¡¯t save me, perhaps I might have long been dead." "Brother Mo, this is a token of my appreciation. Even though it does not mean much in front of your kindness¡­ I hope Brother Mo would not throw them away¡­" "Yan¡¯Er, if you want to know about your past memories, I can tell them to you." "Brother Mo, my senior apprentice sister told me, the reason why my cultivation is so much faster than other people is because my heart is pure; it¡¯s free from distractions and emotions. If I know too many things about my past, I might not be able to cultivate with such speed. But I¡¯m still very grateful to Brother Mo. Thank you." "Many thanks Lady Yan¡¯Er for your gift, I will keep it¡­ Actually, there¡¯s nothing much about our past, I¡¯ve also forgotten most of it. How about this, if Lady Yan¡¯Er encounters any sort of difficulties, you can find me - Mo Wuji. In my heart, I will always be your big brother." ¡­ An indescribable feeling flowed deep within her heart; it was as though a nail had been stabbed straight to her heart. However, she soon recovered her calm. "Yan¡¯Er, are you alright?" Bei Suting sensed the peculiarity within Yan¡¯Er at that instant, and urgently asked. Yan¡¯Er shook her head, "It¡¯s nothing much, I suddenly had this strange feeling." Bei Suting went silent, only after some time, she said, "Yan¡¯Er, perhaps you¡¯re right. Perhaps your cultivation is faster than others because your heart is free of distractions. However, cultivation isn¡¯t purely to raise your cultivation level¡­" Yan¡¯Er suddenly asked, "Sister Suting, my master told me, after I built my spirits, following the rise of my cultivation, my memories would gradually disappear. Now, I¡¯m already at True Lake Stage Level 6, does that mean that I will completely be unable to recover my memories?" She wasn¡¯t a fool, she naturally knew what Bei Suting wanted to talk to her about last night. Even though Bei Suting decided against it, Yan¡¯Er knew what was on her mind. Bei Suting shook her head, "The universe is broad and vast, there¡¯s many things we don¡¯t know. There¡¯s no need to talk about your True Lake Stage, even if you really ascended to become a Worldly Immortal, or even an Earthly Immortal, as long as you have the determination, you will definitely be able to recover your memories. However, if you do not have that drive, even if you hadn¡¯t built your spirits, you would never be able to recover your memories." "Determination¡­" Yan¡¯Er muttered that single word; she could feel her determination. When she was with her senior apprentice sister Jinwen, Shi Jinwen would always tell her to forget the shackles of her past and focus on her cultivation. Cultivating without distraction, this was the idea that Shi Jinwen had instilled in her. In reality, it was indeed because of this idea which caused her cultivation to swell rapidly. However, ever since she was together with Sister Suting, she seemed to be affected by Bei Suting¡¯s ideologies. Cultivation wasn¡¯t the only thing, there were many things more important than cultivation. Were her thoughts gradually changing because of Bei Suting¡¯s influence? No¡­ Yan¡¯Er was quick to shake her head. Her thoughts did not start changing after interacting with Bei Suting, but when she first met Rogue Cultivator 2705. That rogue cultivator risked his own life just to protect her from harm. It slowly let her know, besides cultivation, there was still something else important that was hard to describe. That something was feelings. "Remember to cultivate properly, work hard to live¡­" His voice was hoarse and dry, like a nomad that had travelled alone in the desert for an eternal period of time. It was alone and lonely. For no particular reason, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s nose turned sour and two beads of tears appeared at the corner of her eyes. Ever since she started cultivation, this was the first time she ever felt such feelings. She recalled that Rogue Cultivator 2705; she didn¡¯t even know him but he was willing to sacrifice his life for her own. Before he left, he even advised her to cultivate properly and to work hard to live. In the past, she didn¡¯t really understand his words. But now, after going through some close death experiences of her own, she finally understood that his words were based on the foundation of his blood, sweat and tears. There was no doubt about it, when they met, didn¡¯t he just fight his way out the encirclement of hundred over alien cultivators? When he left, hadn¡¯t he risk his life and blood to save her? How long did she know Rogue Cultivator 2705? In that short period of time, he had already brushed the shoulders of death twice. Because of the obstruction from her tears, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure on the stage became a little hazy. The unfamiliar Rogue Cultivator 2705 was willing to exchange his life for hers. While she, just to raise her cultivation level, chose to be free of her heart¡¯s distractions, and was unwilling to accept her past memories, and was reluctant to even care what kind of person Mo Wuji was. Cultivation without distractions, was that so important? Then what about Mo Wuji¡¯s kindness to her? Compared to that courageous Rogue Cultivator 2705, she was just an ungrateful, unfeeling cultivation machine. "Yan¡¯Er, are you really alright?" Bei Suting could feel that there¡¯s something not right with Yan¡¯Er. Yan¡¯Er shook her head, "I¡¯m really alright. Sister Suting, if I want to recover my memories, what do I need to do?" Bei Suting was slightly startled, but she soon came to an understanding. She tousled Yan¡¯Er¡¯s hair, "Yan¡¯Er, you wanting to recover your memories is the right choice. Ever since the ancient times, I¡¯ve never heard of any experts choosing to seal their memories and could still reach greater heights. Whether your memories are good or bad, they are part of your cultivation. I call this, cultivating the heart. If you didn¡¯t mention this, I wouldn¡¯t have said such words to you. Cultivating without distractions is fast, but I do not believe that a cultivator without inner demons could get far. Inner demons have always been necessary in the road of cultivation. Only when you overcome these inner demons, your understandings would improve and you would be able to progress further." "I understand Sister Suting." Yan¡¯Er nodded her head. In the past, she didn¡¯t really understand Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s words. But now, after going through some close death experiences of her own, she finally understood what was meant by working hard to live. "It¡¯s actually not difficult for you to recover your memories. Wait till I advance to the Worldly Immortal Stage, I will bring you to the Valley of the Immortal Doctors to find San Yisheng. [1] I heard that he managed to treat many incurable patients. In the entire Zhen Mo Continent, he¡¯s the strongest medicine god," Bei Suting said. Yan¡¯Er acknowledged with an "En", then turned back towards the Deathmatch Battlestage. ¡­ At the Deathmatch Battlestage. The commentator saw that Mo Wuji and Yan Yangdong had both stood upon the stage. He retreated out of the stage as he waved his hands towards the crowd, "Let the battle begin!" Yan Yangdong slowly turned the ring on his finger; a heavenly halberd [2] appeared in his hands. The moment the heavenly halberd appeared, the crowd screamed in excitement. In all honesty, the number of cultivators who used a heavenly halberd was not a lot. On the contrary, many mortal generals and martial artists liked this kind of weapon. Yan Yangdong had average looks with a square face. However, as he stood on the stage dressed in cultivator robes with a heavenly halberd in his hands, it did give him an oppressive aura. This look definitely incited the excitement the crowd. Mo Wuji opened his palm and an octagonal steel hammer appeared in his hand. He did not act immediately but waited for Yan Yangdong to make his move. Yan Yangdong also didn¡¯t start attacking, but stared at Mo Wuji and laughed, "You know why I would fight this deathmatch with you? For some cheap b*tch? Your death will help me. That¡¯s why, I¡¯ve decided to be more humane as I kill you." Mo Wuji sighed, as expected, not everyone was like Pang Qi. "I¡¯m guessing you won¡¯t tell me the real reason. Because if you tell me, and if you die, I will spread it," Mo Wuji faintly said. Yan Yangdong chuckled and whispered, "Your taunting is not bad, I¡¯ll purposely fall for it. Let me tell you, the reason why I want to kill you is because your luck is not bad. You good f*cking luck actually got you on the Universal Board. You know, if I rank in the Universal Board or kill someone on it, what would my clan reward me? You will never know¡­" With that, Yan Yangdong transformed into 10 different figures, boundless halberd shadows completely filled the Deathmatch Battlestage. Waves of halberd shadows surged over, it was like copious autumn leaves being blown by the autumn wind, bringing with it endless killing intent. The onlookers started to scream and cheer. This halberd art was truly worthy to be from the Yan Clan. How could ordinary cultivators display such threatening and imposing halberd shadows? With the appearance of Yan Yangdong¡¯s halberd shadows, Mo Wuji could feel this fella¡¯s true power. He definitely wasn¡¯t in True Lake Stage Level 4, nor was it Level 5 or 6 as Chu Qianlou predicted. This fella definitely had the power of True Lake Stage Level 9. This oppressive aura coupled with the halberd shadow seemed to transform this Deathmatch Battlestage to a place of death. People below the stage might not be able to feel it, but Mo Wuji could clearly feel how terrifying this space is. No wonder why this fella could kill someone at Nihility God Stage level 1. Even if a cultivator was at Nihility God Stage Level 3, when surrounded by Yan Yangdong¡¯s halberd shadows, he wouldn¡¯t be able to display his true power. Yan Yangdong dared to challenge Mo Wuji, because he knew that he was definitely going to win. Mo Wuji coldly snorted, his octagonal steel hammer whipped up layers of elemental energy walls to protect himself. If Yan Yangdong wanted to kill him, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy. "Boom! Boom!" The waves of halberd shadow crashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy wall, ripping space apart. Yan Yangdong¡¯s lips curved into a contemptuous smile. Mo Wuji was truly a rogue cultivator, he didn¡¯t even have a proper skill. Using this crude elemental energy wall to defend against his halberd shadow, if put nicely, was simply doing more harm than good. [1] This guy¡¯s name has the exact same hanyu pinyin as rogue doctor HAHA [2] This is the same weapon which Lu Bu uses. Chapter 311: Skills VS Sacred Art Chapter 311: Skills VS Sacred Art Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Any cultivator who could spectate this deathmatch definitely had good eye sights. When Mo Wuji used an elemental energy wall to block Yan Yangdong''s lethal halberd shadows, the crowd knew that Mo Wuji was going to lose. Even though an elemental energy wall was strong, it¡¯s energy usage was extremely high. No cultivator could constantly use the elemental energy wall to protect himself. Thus, the elemental energy wall was like a bird¡¯s shit; it was hard on the outside, but after you take some time and delve into the inner layers, you would find that it¡¯s especially soft. Moreover, besides this elemental energy wall, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any sort of hammer arts. He only waved the giant hammer here and there; could that even contest with the Yan Clan¡¯s halberd techniques? "Bang!" Mo Wuji¡¯s octagonal steel hammer whirled out, smashing against the limitless halberd shadows on the Deathmatch Battlestage, immediately ripping those halberd shadows apart. Yan Yangdong¡¯s figure was now clearly within the strike zone of Mo Wuji¡¯s octagonal steel hammer; Yan Yangdong was momentarily stunned. Even after using an elemental energy to defend against his Halberd Shadow Killing Stance, Mo Wuji was still able to conjure up so much power the hammer. Unless Mo Wuji was also like him, and had hidden his true power? Irregardless, when facing Mo Wuji¡¯s oncoming strike, Yan Yangdong could only choose to defend. Violent waves of elemental energy crashed against one another; Mo Wuji and Yan Yangdong were simultaneously blown away. The two crashed against the protective barrier of the battlestage and stood back up. Below the stage, was a buzz of astonishment. After Mo Wuji displayed the energy-depleting elemental energy wall, many thought that Mo Wuji would definitely be suppressed and eventually be killed. However, the outcome suddenly changed. When the two collided, both of them were actually sent flying; seemingly, they were evenly matched. "You truly have the power to be on the Universal Board. You deserve to be killed using my full power. I hope that you didn¡¯t expend all your energy just now, or you¡¯ll regret coming up on this stage." Yan Yangdong wiped the blood trail off the corner of his mouth, his previous casualness and contempt had completely disappeared. He knew that Mo Wuji was very strong, but for Mo Wuji to be strong to such an extent had surprised him. After all, Mo Wuji had used an elemental energy wall and could still match him evenly during the following exchange. That showed that Mo Wuji¡¯s true lake of elemental energy was no smaller than his. This had thoroughly left him in disbelief; he had obtained numerous opportunities and was even in True Lake Stage Level 9. Facing others in the same stage, few should have an elemental lake comparable to his. Mo Wuji was some unknown bumpkin, yet could be comparable to him. How could he not be in disbelief? Even if Mo Wuji was also in True Lake Stage Level 9, it was something inconceivable. As Yan Yangdong spoke, he had already taken a step forward. Holding the halberd in one hand, his other hand continuously formed various hand seals. Even though he hoped that Mo Wuji had yet to display his full power, he believed that that was already the case. Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger, he definitely wasn¡¯t in the Nihility God Stage. Then, he definitely did not believe that a True Lake Stage cultivator would still have energy after surviving that all-out exchange with him. Yan Yangdong swung out his halberd, his hand seals getting increasingly complex. The originally clear battlestage, suddenly seemed to have gotten hazy. It was as though a mist had descended upon the battlestage, and onlookers could only see the faint silhouettes of the two battlers. "This is liquefaction of elemental energy, Spatial Saturation¡­" Someone below the stage instantly cried out in shock. Following this cry of astonishment, more people started to reveal a glimmer in their eyes. Looks like they had made the right choice in coming to this match, they actually got to see a True Lake Stage cultivator liquefy his elemental energy, saturating space¡­ Elemental energy liquefaction, Spatial Saturation. This wasn''t merely a boost in strength when the elemental energy liquefies. More importantly, this liquefied elemental energy would start to diffuse and fill up the surrounding space, causing the space to turn heavy and viscous. It could be said that he had controlled this domain of space. This sort of spatial suppression and restrictions, in reality, could barely be exhibited by cultivators at the Great Circle of Nihility God Stage. This was a measure used by True Gods and Worldly Immortals. At the True Lake Stage, one could only try to display a fraction of this power. To truly achieve spatial suppression, one must first liquefy his elemental energy and saturate space. But many cultivators, even after they advanced into the Nihility God Stage, could not even attempt this killer move. As the two''s silhouettes got increasingly obscure, everyone knew, Mo Wuji was done for. This Spatial Saturation, if it had reached such a stage, was equivalent to complete spatial control. Mo Wuji could only get ravaged. "Ai, what a pity, we don''t get to see the battle. That would have made things really interesting." "That rogue cultivator called Mo Wuji, at least he died with glory. He actually forced that Yan Yangdong to use Spatial Saturation¡­" "Keke, why are you so sure that Mo Wuji would die? Just now, when he was enshrouded in halberd shadows and was forced to use an elemental energy wall, didn''t you also think that he would definitely die? In the end, what happened?" "Spatial Saturation and the halberd shadows are completely two different things. If it was you, would you be able to escape?". "I''m not able to, that''s why I don''t qualify to go up that stage. But the one on the stage now is a Universal Board expert. You think it''s so easy to rank in the Universal Board?" "So what? So many geniuses from the three great clans can also rank on the Universal Board. It''s just that they are restricted by their clan rules, if they don''t reach a certain cultivation, they aren''t allowed to take part in the Star Wars." ¡­ It was a buzz of discussions and arguments below the stage, but all this did not affect Mo Wuji. There''s no need to even mention Yan Yangdong¡¯s Spatial Saturation; Mo Wuji had experienced true spatial locking techniques more than once. Yan Yangdong thought that he hadn''t held back previously, and had exerted all his energy. In reality, Mo Wuji didn''t fully exert all his power, at the very most, he only displayed 70% of it. Moreover, he had yet to reveal any of his hidden aces. Yan Yangdong¡¯s Spatial Saturation was just what Mo Wuji wanted. He continued to use his elemental energy to form a wall around himself, not doing anything to resist. He would definitely kill Yan Yangdong, and it would be best if no one could see how he did it. Since Yan Yangdong was courting his own death, he should not blame Mo Wuji. Yan Yangdong laughed coldly, using an elemental energy wall to deal with his Space Saturation? What a joke, keke¡­ At this time, the entire stage was saturated with his elemental energy. Yan Yangdong was like a shark in water, charging towards Mo Wuji. The halberd in his hand shone with radiant light, shooting towards Mo Wuji¡¯s throat. The single radiant light suddenly transformed into two, and from two it transformed into four, then from four to eight¡­ Within a breath¡¯s time, Mo Wuji was completely surrounded by beams of halberd light. From Yan Yangdong¡¯s perspective, this entire battlestage was a lake which belonged entirely to him, and he was like a shark in the lake, while Mo Wuji was simply a duck left hanging to dry. In his eyes, Mo Wuji was already a dead man. The halberd light completely surrounded Mo Wuji as they shot towards him. Just as they light touched Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes, Yan Yangdong suddenly felt that something was not right. Even if Mo Wuji was a noob, he wouldn¡¯t be completely unable to move due to the Spatial Saturation. At the very most, his movements would get slower. Just at this instant, Mo Wuji moved. He slowly raised the steel hammer, as though he was in slow motion. Yan Yangdong finally heaved a sigh of relief; things went as expected¡­ Wait, that¡¯s still not right¡­ Yan Yangdong started in shock as his halberd light did not pierce through Mo Wuji as he predicted. The only damage it caused was towards Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes; not even a drop of blood was shed. The elemental energy wall which surrounded Mo Wuji was now concentrated on Mo Wuji¡¯s head. A beam of halberd light which was aimed at Mo Wuji¡¯s head bounced harmlessly away from the elemental energy wall. Yan Yangdong could faintly see the elemental energy wall emitting a purple colour, as though it was made out of purple energy. Yan Yangdong let out a breath of cold air; to continuously use the elemental energy wall to block against his halberd light would require dense amounts of elemental energy. At the present, or even after he advances into the Nihility God Stage, he might not be able to compare to Mo Wuji. How were they evenly matched? The other party wasn¡¯t simply concealing his cultivation, he was doing so very complicatedly. Even though the octagonal steel hammer was slow, it still descended. Yan Yangdong knew that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t simply let him dodge it, but what else could he do but dodge from the hammer. As expected, just as Yan Yangdong avoided the hammer, ten intense bolts of lightning struck against him. "Boom! Crackle!!" The violent explosions ripped out several holes of blood from Yan Yangdong¡¯s body. At the same time, tremors could be felt from the ground; Yan Yangdong finally understood what was happening. The halberd light that he shot towards Mo Wuji did not even touch him. Besides the halberd light aimed towards Mo Wuji¡¯s head, the rest were all directed towards the ground. What skill was this? It could actually diver away his Halberd Sunderer? No, this was no skill, it was a sacred art. As he thought of this, Yan Yangdong suddenly felt faint. His Yan Clan was one of the three major clans of the Star King Mountain, but it only had one sacred art. He has able to obtain countless legacies but he had never obtained a sacred art. Mo Wuji actually had one? If he knew that Mo Wuji knew a sacred art, he would never have challenged Mo Wuji unless he was mad. "Stop! I concede¡­" The lightning brought about a intense burning sensation, as Yan Yangdong uttered each word, he would spit out a mouthful of blood. "Ok¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s one word let Yan Yangdong heave a sigh of relief, at least the Yan Clan still had some oppressive power.. Before that final thought could fully form within his head, his head was smashed in by the giant octagonal steel hammer. "You¡­" Yan Yangdong was aggrieved. He never thought that Mo Wuji would say one thing but do another. Mo Wuji faintly said, "I said okay to your concession. But I didn¡¯t say that I wouldn¡¯t kill you. You think I won¡¯t kill you on the Deathmatch Battlestage? You think I¡¯m an idiot like you? Honestly, with your halberd arts and spatial control skill, if you go train yourself in the Star Wars Battlefield, it would not be easy for me to kill you. I might not even be able to kill you. You simply lack the tempering of life and death experiences." Yan Yangdong didn''t even hear Mo Wuji''s last words; he sank into boundless darkness. Chapter 312: The Yan Clan of Star King Mountain Chapter 312: The Yan Clan of Star King Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations With a spread of his palms, Mo Wuji kept the Octagonal Steel Hammer into his ring. At the same time, he kept Yan Yangdong¡¯s ring. These were his rewards for emerging victorious. Yan Yangdong was indeed one of the best among those in True Lake Stage. However, compared to Mo Wuji, he was still slightly lacking. What¡¯s more, he had only gained his capabilities by winning battles ¨C he definitely did not been training on his own. That much was apparent. If Yan Yangdong had truly been training at Star Wars Battlefield, he wouldn¡¯t have managed to defeat his opponent so easily with the halberd technique. He hadn¡¯t even thought about letting Yan Yangdong off. Only one survivor was allowed to walk off the Deathmatch Battlestage. If he had allowed Yan Yangdong to walk away, Mo Wuji could wrongly be killed for breaking the rules of the Deathmatch Battlestage. Keke, maybe he would no longer have to worry about the rules of battling in the Universal Hall when he became stronger. But for now, he wouldn¡¯t do anything silly. Since Yan Yangdong had already been defeated, the Deathmatch Battlestage began to clear up. When it sunk in that Yan Yangdong was dead and Mo Wuji remained standing, there was a moment of strange silence in the air. Once the moment passed through, the bustling noise and excited cheers filled the air. Mo Wuji was now famous in the Universal Hall. There was even more hype over him now than when he made it to Rank 9951 on the Universal Board. Not every cultivator who could kill Yan Yangdong dared to do so. This unexpected outcome was exactly what the masses desired. Finally, the genius cultivator Yan Yangdong of the Yan Clan had been defeated. The cultivator who was acting as the referee finally called out after a long time, "The winner of this battle is Mo Wuji!" As for the loser, nobody would even remember his last name in time to come. "Brother Mo, you have won." Pang Qi excitedly came forward to hug Mo Wuji, before hurriedly leaving through the exit next to the stage. ¡­ "Wuji, I think you lack a magic skill. No matter what type of spiritual item you use, if you don¡¯t have the right magic skill, you would still be much worse off than others. Your victory over Yan Yangdong this time had a great deal to do with their clan¡¯s rules. Otherwise, even if you would have won, you wouldn¡¯t have done so that quickly." Once they had returned to Universal Pier, Chu Qianlou pointed out Mo Wuji¡¯s flaws. "Sister Qianlou, what does this have to do with the Yan Clan¡¯s rules?" Rong He asked, confused. Chu Qianlou explained, "The Yan Clan does not allow anyone who has not reached True Lake Stage Level 7 to enter the Void Battlefield. Yan Yangdong lacked actual combat training. Either he couldn¡¯t achieve his full potential during battle, or he had used the wrong techniques. If he were up against any ordinary opponent, this wouldn¡¯t have mattered. But he was up against Wuji, who just returned from Star Wars Battlefield. He has even made it on the Universal Board. He¡¯s much more experienced in fighting than Yan Yangdong." Chu Qianlou knew in her heart that even if Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t come from the Star Wars Battlefield, his fighting experience would still be much better than the ordinary man. She had seen for herself what he was capable of. "Recovery" simply wasn¡¯t good enough an explanation. Chu Qianlou had a sharp eye ¨C she identified his problem easily. Of course, Mo Wuji knew what his flaws were. Even if she hadn¡¯t mentioned it, he would still have asked her where he could purchase the magic skills. He was not lacking in the hammer technique, but in the pole technique. "Sister Chu, do you have any idea where I can buy better magic skills?" Mo Wuji asked. Chu Qianlou replied, "I was just about to discuss this with you. Not long ago, there was a Star War. I think you participated in it before. A large quantity of precious treasures appeared in that battle. The Universal Hall is organising a sale to sell them soon. I suggest that you check that sale out. You might be able to find earth grade magic skills. Didn¡¯t you use the space contribution points to bet on yourself winning earlier? If the ratio is 1:3, you should have enough winnings to purchase some things at the sale." Mo Wuji turned to face Rong He. At the mention of the space contribution points, Rong He excitedly said, "That¡¯s right! That¡¯s right! I¡¯ll go and collect the winnings immediately." "Let¡¯s go together." Pang Qi stood up. "Is Dao Friend Mo in? Yu Qianni from the Universal Hall is here to pay him a visit." An abrupt voice seemed to come from right in front of them. Mo Wuji rose to his feet and met with a ball of fists at the door. "Greetings, Elder Yu." Immediately, Mo Wuji recognised the voice as belonging to the law enforcer with the yellow beard in True God Stage. This fella was fast. Mo Wuji had just killed Yan Yangdong, and here he is now. He wondered what explanation this fella would give him. "I¡¯ll head over with Pang Qi and the rest," Chu Qianlou stood. Mo Wuji opened the door, and saw that the man with the yellow beard already stood at his doorstep. Chu Qianlou and the others greeted him, before respectfully taking their leave. "Elder Yu, please come in." Mo Wuji invited Yu Qianni into his house. Yu Qianni did not stand on ceremony. He entered and sat down, saying, "Little Friend Mo, you were so lucky to rise to fame after just one battle." Mo Wuji impatiently said, "Elder Yu, you have come to mock me. It¡¯s more fitting to say that I have attracted a lot of trouble with one battle. I don¡¯t believe that the Yan Clan would not come after me." Yu Qianni burst into laughter. He changed the subject, "I believe you will achieve extraordinary things in future. Today, I have come to discuss the investigation that took place 3 days ago." Mo Wuji cupped his fist and said, "Elder Yu, please go ahead." Yu Qianni nodded, "After further investigation, we discovered that it was indeed Jing Jingsan of the Yan Clan who started the fight. However, Jing Jingsan is scheming. He has already escaped from Universal Hall. I¡¯ve released a notice throughout Universal Hall. Jing Jingsan, Jing Danwu and Jing Qiliang are now on our wanted list." "Thank you, Enforcer Yu." Mo Wuji cupped his fist once again. He smirked inwardly. This was expected and he didn¡¯t mind. He knew that Yu Qianni had come here because he knew how powerful Mo Wuji was. He did not want to offend him, so he had come as a sign of respect. Well, respect was to be earned. Since Universal Hall was unwilling to arrest people, Mo Wuji would catch them himself. If this law enforcer from the Universal Hall in True God Stage thought that he had shown Mo Wuji respect by merely making a trip to his home, he was wrong. "In that case, I¡¯ll take my leave." Yu Qianni announced. He turned to leave. Indeed, he was here to show some respect to Mo Wuji. Yet, Mo Wuji did not seem to appreciate his kindness. He, in True God Stage, would not go so far as to placate someone in True Lake Stage. At first, he was satisfied that Mo Wuji had referred to him as "Elder Yu". Clearly, Mo Wuji took the opportunity to ensure he was on good terms with Yu Qianni and accumulate some goodwill. However, after he had explained the outcome of the investigation, Mo Wuji referred to him as "Enforcer Yu". It was apparent that Mo Wuji was no longer concerned with accumulating goodwill with him. Since that was the case, why should he remain there? This type of cultivator would not survive long, no matter how great his potential was. It remained to be seen how he would get out of offending the Yan Clan. Mo Wuji simply did not care about his attitude toward Yu Qianni. He understood that Yu Qianni was unwilling to offend the Yan Clan. However, he mocked Yu Qianni for wanting to remain on good terms with both the Yan Clan and Mo Wuji. The last thing he needed was a "friend" who was unwilling to help him in times of trouble, but who wanted to share in his future glory. He couldn¡¯t even be bothered to act courteous. To speak humbly to Yu Qianni, only to help him out when he became stronger? He, Mo Wuji, was not so despicable. ¡­ In the Nebula Hall on Star King Mountain, hall master Yan Pingzhi frowned at the map of the universe that lay in front of him. Just then, a guard who stood at the door of the hall rushed to his side and bowed, "Hall Master, the Patriarch has just sent out a message, asking the Hall Master to return to the Yan Clan Meeting Hall immediately." Yan Pingzhi finally withdrew his gaze from the map. He asked in a low voice, "Was it mentioned what for?" The guard nervously replied, "Your servant is unaware. Your servant only received instructions to invite Hall Master back." Yan Pingzhi nodded, "Alright, I understand." Outwardly, it seemed as if this guard who stood by the doors of his hall was at his beck and call. However, in actual fact, he belonged to the Yan Clan. He did not take instructions from Yan Pingzhi. As a result, he did not relay every single piece of information to the hall master. Yan Pingzhi left the Nebula Hall on Star King Mountain, and arrived at the Yan Clan Meeting Hall in a matter of minutes. The three big clans all possessed a transfer array that allowed them to leave Star King Mountain directly. Most of the time, they didn¡¯t even have to report to the Star Lord before they left. Yan Pingzhi knew, the moment he entered the Clan Meeting Hall, that something big had happened. The only other occasion where Yan Pingzhi had seen so many elders gathered together in the Yan Clan was when they were making sacrifices to the ancestors. "Greetings to the Patriarch. Greetings to Grand-Elder." Yan Pingzhi only sat down at the front-left of the table after he had bowed to the two seated at the head of the table. On Star King Mountain, Yan Pingzhi was one of the ten hall masters. He was also the head commander of the Nebula Army ¨C sixth of the ten armies. However, in the Yan Clan, he placed third at most. On top of him on the hierarchy was the Patriarch, Yan Qiren, and the Grand-Elder, Yan Yang. "Pingzhi, you are here. Please, take a seat." Patriarch Yan Qiren nodded warmly at Yan Pingzhi. "What has happened?" Yan Pingzhi questioned. He had been so absorbed in studying the map of the universe, he had hardly paid attention to Yan Clan matters. Yan Qiren turned to the stubby, plump man on his right and said, "Gaokai, please explain the current situation to Pingzhi." Yan Gaokai arose, bowed to Yan Pingzhi, and began, "Not too long ago, my descendant Yan Yangdong was beheaded on the Deathmatch Battlestage in Universal Hall." Yan Pingzhi¡¯s heart skipped a beat, not because Yan Yangdong was anyone important. In fact, even though Yan Yangdong was a descendant of the Yan Clan, his death wouldn¡¯t be so high-profile. The question was, who was so daring as to kill the genius cultivator of the Yan Clan? "Who did it?" Yan Pingzhi snapped. Yan Qiren motioned for Yan Gaokai to sit back down. Then, he said, "The one who killed Yangdong is a rogue cultivator who had just made it to the Universal Board. He¡¯s quite low on the Board ¨C Rank 9951. But this isn¡¯t the main point. The main point is, does anyone here know what Yan Yangdong had on him?" Chapter 313: Yan Yangdong’s Possessions Chapter 313: Yan Yangdong¡¯s Possessions Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yan Qiren¡¯s eyes blazed as he said, "This rascal actually brought three half moon keys¡­" "What?" Most of the people seated in the Yan Clan hall stood up in shock. Yan Pingzhi gasped. "Patriarch, has it been confirmed that the half moon keys can be used in the Half Moon Immortal Palace?" Yan Pingzhi tried to calm himself down, struggling to sound polite. Yan Qiren nodded, "Yes, they were the half moon keys from the Half Moon Immortal Palace. In other words, those were the very keys that the Yan Clan obtained 3000 years ago." When he finished speaking, Yan Qiren addressed the now standing elders once more, "Everyone, please be seated. This concerns the future of my Yan Clan. We must not panic." Even though they all followed his instructions, they continued to breathe heavily. Evidently, nobody was calm. How did the three big clans of Star King Mountain come about? They certainly didn¡¯t just appear out of nowhere along with Star King Mountain. They only existed because of the Half Moon Immortal Palace. The Half Moon Immortal Palace appeared once every 3000 years. It was said that there were 99 doors in the palace. Other than the last door, each one of the other 98 doors could be opened with a half moon key. That was the reason that 100 half moon keys appeared in the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Any two of such keys could be joined together to form a full moon. But out of all of them, two keys in particular, when combined, would melt together to form a permanent full moon. No amount of strength could then force them apart. This key could then be used to unlock the last door in the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Behind each door in the Half Moon Immortal Palace lay valuable treasure. Sometimes, it was one and other times, it was many. 3000 years ago, the Yan Clan, the Xia Clan and the Mou Clan each obtained a half moon key. They entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace and each unlocked a door. The three clans of Star King Mountain formed because of those three half moon keys. As the years went by, the number of doors that were unlocked in the Half Moon Immortal Palace increased. There were fewer and fewer that remained locked. At the same time, fewer and fewer half moon keys remained. That was the reason that everybody was so agitated upon hearing that Yan Yangdong had three half moon keys. That was also the reason that Yan Qiren¡¯s blood was now boiling. Yan Pingzhi sucked in a breath, steadied his voice, and asked, "How did Yangdong obtain three half moon keys? And since he had three half moon keys, why did he want to go to Universal Hall so soon?" Only big clans knew of the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Small sects, and ordinary people would not have heard of such a place. Yan Pingzhi was confused. It would be years before the Half Moon Immortal Palace would be opened once again. Even if Yan Yangdong wanted to keep those half moon keys for himself, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace now. Yan Qiren exclaimed, "A few years ago, Yan Yangdong gained an excellent opportunity, and inherited a considerable legacy. At the time, we didn¡¯t think much of it¡­" Yan Pingzhi knew what Yan Qiren was referring to. Yan Yangdong had killed a rogue cultivator and had obtained a legacy place. However, the Yan Clan hardly interfered in affairs like these. Their only rules were that these matters had to remain low-profile, and that whatever treasures the Yan Clan¡¯s disciples obtained belonged also to the clan. It was these rules that ensured the Yan Clan¡¯s prosperity, and which allowed them to slowly rise to be top amongst the three clans. "Other than obtaining the legacy from the Legacy Cave, Yan Yangdong also obtained a half moon key. He obtained the other two half moon keys from the Jing Clan of Ardent Sun City." Yan Pingzhi was not surprised by what Yan Qiren was saying. There was a woman from the Jing Clan, Jing Xiaoxiao, who married the Yan Clan¡¯s Yan Yuyang. "You mean, Yangdong went to look for the rogue cultivator on the Universal Board to get to Yan Clan¡¯s spiritual jade pool? That wouldn¡¯t have worked either, I remember Yangdong was only at True Lake Stage Level 5. Even if he had managed to enter the spiritual jade pool, it would still be impossible for him to get to Nihility God Stage in a mere few years, right?" Yan Pingzhi said, frowning. He knew that in order to get to the Half Moon Immortal Palace, one had to leave his spiritual will outside of the doors. That meant that even if one possessed a half moon key, he would still have to be in Nihility God Stage to be qualified to enter. The Yan Clan always took things step by step; they never rushed. No matter how much of a genius Yan Yangdong was, he would still need two to three years to get from True Lake Stage Level 5 to True Lake Stage Level 9. Moreover, someone like Yan Yangdong had to get to True Lake Stage Level 10 before he would be allowed to progress to Nihility God Stage. This was to ensure that he would have a solid foundation. Using the Yan Clan technique, it would take at least three years to progress from True Lake Stage Level 9 to True Lake Stage Level 10. For Yan Yangdong, this would have meant at least another six years. After six years, the Half Moon Immortal Palace would have long been opened. That was why Yan Pingzhi felt so confused. Yan Qiren exclaimed, "You¡¯re right. There are only two chances to get into the Yan Clan''s spiritual jade pool. One is when a Nihility God has completely progressed to True God Stage. The other is when one has made it to the Universal Board, or has defeated someone whose name is on the Universal Board. Yan Yangdong challenged that Mo Wuji because he had wanted to enter the Yan Clan¡¯s spiritual jade pool and rush to Nihility God Stage. His true level of cultivation wasn¡¯t the middle of True Lake Stage. It was True Lake Stage Level 9. I know this only because Grand-Elder¡¯s spiritual will once chanced upon him while he was training. Later, after he was beheaded, we looked into this and discovered that he had inherited a half moon key. Together with the two half moon keys from the Jing Clan, he had a total of three half moon keys on him." There was utter silence in the hall. Yan Yangdong was highly tolerant ¨C he was indeed a rare genius of the Yan Clan. It was a pity that he was so selfish. That was his downfall. He ended up dying at the hands of a mere rogue cultivator on the Challenge Battlestage. "Patriarch, our clan has to get those three half moon keys back. Why don¡¯t I send some men out to search for it?" Yan Pingzhi suggested. He was sure that it would be a big blow to the Yan Clan if other clans were to find the three half moon keys." Yan Yang, the grand-elder who was silent up till that point, suddenly said, "It will be enough to send a few Nihility Gods and a True God to settle this issue. Remember not to send any Earthly Immortals. Otherwise, we might attract unwanted attention." "Grand-Elder, a genius cultivator from our Yan Clan has just been murdered in the Universal Hall. It¡¯s perfectly reasonable to send people to investigate the matter," Yan Qiren explained. At that moment, a ray of red light shone upon Yan Pingzhi¡¯s hand. Yan Pingzhi frowned and, without waiting for Grand-Elder to speak up, shook his head. "Patriarch, I agree with what Grand-Elder said. According to the news I just received, the rogue cultivator who''s Rank 9951 on the Universal Board is not ordinary. He excelled in the recent Star Wars. He not only made it onto the Universal Board, but also obtained Mou Lanhan¡¯s order flag and invitation." Once he had learned that Yan Yangdong was beheaded, he immediately sent out an order to look into Mo Wuji. In that short time, a portion of the investigation outcome had returned to him. Yan Pingzhi¡¯s words stunned Yan Qiren for a moment. He was most afraid that Mo Wuji would collaborate with other clans. Now, his greatest fear was coming true. Yan Pingzhi continued, "This rogue cultivator Mo Wuji is extremely tolerant. He didn¡¯t use Mou Lanhan¡¯s order flag despite being challenged by Yan Yangdong. I presume the Mou Clan knows of this. I¡¯m afraid they would think even more highly of this Mo Wuji now. If I approach him because of what happened to Yan Yangdong, they will surely defend him." This realisation left the entire hall in complete silence once again. Among the three major clans, the Yan Clan ranked just above the Mou Clan. However, everyone knew that the Yan Clan had stronger cultivators. When it came to actual skill, the Mou Clan was comparable to the Yan Clan. Of the ten space armies in Zhen Mo, the Yan Clan controlled the Nebula Army, which ranked sixth place. The Mou Clan, on the other hand, had some say in the Northern Star Army and the Star Trace Army. The Northern Star Army was first place. Even the Star Trace Army was close behind the Nebula Army at seventh place. "The Universal Hall will be organising a huge auction soon. I think we can use this as an excuse to go there. As for Mo Wuji, let¡¯s focus on getting him under control first. If this person can get his name on the Universal Board while in True Lake Stage, and even defeat Yan Yangdong ¨C who was at True Lake Stage Level 9 ¨C he could very well be as skillful as a Nihility God. We must not underestimate him," Yan Qiren concluded after listening to Yan Pingzhi. As if he wasn¡¯t satisfied, he said, "Even if we have to fight the Mou Clan, we have to get those three half moon keys back." ¡­ Mo Wuji picked up Yan Yangdong¡¯s ring and studied it. However, he did not begin cultivating immediately. Instead, he kept it again. Yan Yangdong belonged to the Yan Clan, and he was a genius disciple. The ring definitely contained many good things. Even if it contained nothing at all, Mo Wuji was still interested in his halberd technique. He decided not to cultivate now because he was afraid that the Yan Clan would come after him. Once the Yan Clan did come after him, he would have to escape to space. He was afraid that Yan Yangdong¡¯s ring had a spiritual will imprint. As for the "fair law enforcers" that Universal Hall apparently had, Mo Wuji paid no regard to them. He, a mere rogue cultivator, would not be able to deal with the Yan Clan no matter what. The ban at the door shook. Opening the door, Mo Wuji saw the Chu Qianlou and the rest had returned. But he was puzzled. Following the group was a man that Mo Wuji had never met before. "Brother Mo, here is your universal token. We also earned 9000 contribution points. That would be useful for us," Rong He grinned and handed the universal token over to Mo Wuji. "Thank you," he chuckled and reached out for the universal token, hanging it around his waist. He had already swept up the contribution points on the universal token. The total amount of contribution points they could use now was over 90,000. He once again turned his attention to the middle-aged man behind Chu Qianlou. He looked friendly, and his eyes carried some humour. However, Mo Wuji had seen too many people and experienced too many things. He knew that this man was not as friendly as he seemed. Chu Qianlou quickly introduced him, "Wuji, this is Shopkeeper Peng from Star Searching Merchant House." Before Mo Wuji could speak, the smiling man greeted him, "I am Peng Zimai, from Star Searching Merchant House. I heard that Dao Friend Mo intends to go to the auction that Star Searching Merchant House will be organising in about five days. Thus, I have come to discuss something with you." Chapter 314: The Underground Battlestages Chapter 314: The Underground Battlestages Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Shopkeeper Peng, please come in and take a seat. Please, feel free to say whatever you have to." Mo Wuji extended his hand and invited Peng Zimai into the room. Chu Qianlou, worried that Mo Wuji would agree to Peng Zimai¡¯s suggestion, followed them into the room. Pang Qi and the others followed suit. "Dao Friend Mo, I¡¯m sure you have heard of my Star Searching Merchant House. This time, many treasures will be available at the auction. Apart from Tier 8 spiritual herbs, we will also be selling high grade spiritual items and top grade techniques¡­" Upon hearing about the top grade techniques, Mo Wuji immediately questioned, "May I ask if you have top grade magic skills as well?" Peng Zimai answered, "Of course! Although we won¡¯t have hammer techniques, we will have quality sword art and blade techniques¡­" Peng Zimai had witnessed the battle between Mo Wuji and Yan Yangdong. Naturally, he could guess what Mo Wuji was after - good magic skills. Now, listening to Mo Wuji¡¯s questions, he was surer than before. Mo Wuji was not in the least bit disappointed upon learning that there would be no hammer techniques available. Instead, he perked up and asked, "I would also like to know, what kind of top grade magic skills will there be at the auction?" Peng Zimai acted like he was being put in a spot. "Although I know some of what might be available at the auction, you know that I¡¯m merely a shopkeeper. I don¡¯t make the decisions for many matters in Star Searching Merchant House." Mo Wuji understood what he was trying to say. He straightforwardly asked, "Shopkeeper Peng, please go ahead and discuss whatever you came for." Peng Zimai grinned, "Dao Friend Mo, you know that other than official challenges, the Universal Hall also organises many underground challenges. Star Searching Battlestage is Star Searching Merchant House¡®s battlefield. I would like to invite you to accept the challenges of other cultivators¡­" Immediately, Mo Wuji knew what he wanted. This Peng Zimai was so scheming. It was a true waste of talent that he didn¡¯t work as a shrewd businessman on Earth. Given that he was on the Universal Board, and that he had defeated Yan Yangdong on the Deathmatch Battlestage, the queue to challenge Mo Wuji would surely go from Piercing Wind City to Nine Mo City if he were to fight underground. One only had to challenge him on the battlestage and emerge victorious to earn both fame and fortune, and even the Yan Clan¡¯s favour and friendship. One would have equated defeating Mo Wuji with having the capabilities to be on the Universal Board, even if his name wasn¡¯t actually on it. This was every cultivator¡¯s dream. It didn¡¯t even matter if one could not defeat Mo Wuji. The underground battlestage wasn¡¯t the Deathmatch Battlestage; one only had to surrender when he knew that he was going to lose. Even losing was good for one¡¯s reputation. If word had spread that one challenged someone on the Universal Board, he would have risen to fame very quickly. "Brother Mo, you must not go," Rong He quickly warned. She knew for a fact that the underground battlestages were filled with desperate disciples, who resorted to all sorts of underhand methods to emerge victorious. They were willing to give all they had to ensure their opponent was seriously injured. Some were even willing to give their lives. At first, before they had contribution points, Pang Qi brought them to these battlestages. However, he backed out in the end, as usual. Behind every contribution point earned on the underground battlestage were blood, sweat and tears. It wasn¡¯t so bad if that were it. After all, Mo Wuji was no ordinary cultivator. However, there was another type of people who fought on those battlestages. Those people were highly-skilled, and they were well-versed in a profound concealment technique. To fight on the battlestage and earn contribution points, they often concealed their skills. There were no severe repercussions for doing something like that. "Brother Mo, you must not go to the underground battlestage. That isn¡¯t a place that normal people go to," Pang Qi worriedly stood up. Chu Qianlou more directly said, "Wuji, regardless of capability, very few people actually walk off the underground battlestage. There are all kinds of people there. Some are low-skilled and only know one hand technique. That sometimes becomes their downfall." Mo Wuji nodded. He hadn¡¯t intended to go. Peng Zimai acted as if Chu Qianlou hadn¡¯t spoken. Still grinning, he said, "My generation knows that cultivation is hard work. Brother Mo, your achievements today are definitely extraordinary. However, if you don¡¯t intend to improve any further, I will retract my invitation and take my leave." Mo Wuji smiled slightly. "Shopkeeper Peng, be direct. I like to be straightforward. If I feel strongly for something, I will work hard at it once I find out about it. However, if I don¡¯t feel anything for something, I wouldn¡¯t waste any effort on it despite you spending a year or two trying to persuade me. I appreciate the thought, though." Peng Zimai understood what Mo Wuji was really trying to say. That was, "Don¡¯t try to be a smart-ass with me. Whether I need something is not based on what you say, but based on whether it is useful to me." Within that short time, Peng Zimai knew the kind of person Mo Wuji was. He was a decisive person who wasn¡¯t easily bought over by pure advertising. At that, he simply retrieved a piece of paper and handed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "Dao Friend Mo, these are the magic skills that will be available at the auction. Take a look and see if there¡¯s anything you need." He was originally only going to show Mo Wuji this piece of paper under certain conditions. However, this method had not worked on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded. This was the right method to use to get to him. You should have done so earlier. What was the purpose of saying so much rubbish? Mo Wuji unfolded the piece of paper and saw over ten different types of magic skills. And the poorest sword art among those was of premium Earth Grade. Air Severing Golden Light Saber, Earth Grade treasure. Yuan Dispelling Sword Technique, Earth Grade premium technique. Yuan Returning Water Blade, Earth Grade treasure. Thousand Blade Shadow Radiance, Earth Grade Treasure. Thoughtless Light Radiance, Heaven Grade¡­ this didn¡¯t sound too bad. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on the next magic skill, Nirvana Pole Shadow, Heaven Grade¡­. A pole technique, and a Heaven Grade one at that. Mo Wuji suddenly saw very clearly that what he lacked was a pole technique. Even though the Heaven Grade magic skills were not differentiated by normal, premium or treasure, Heaven Grade things couldn¡¯t be that bad. That was it. He had to get it. After a short while, Mo Wuji handed the piece of paper back to Peng Zimai. In a calm tone, he said, "Not bad, there are a lot of things on it." "Has anything suitable caught your eye?" Peng Zimai cheekily asked. Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Peng, even if I do want something, I have enough space contribution points to purchase it." Peng Zimai shook his head, "Dao Friend Mo, if you were purchasing ordinary items, 90,000 contribution points is indeed enough. However, I¡¯m afraid that if you want to buy anything on that piece of paper, even the poorest one would set you back by more than 100,000 contribution points. This is because the people who will be competing with you are not individuals, but are major clans and sects." Mo Wuji shot a puzzled look at Rong He. How did Peng Zimai know about his contribution points? Rong He quickly explained, "Brother Mo, Star Searching Merchant House organised the bet this time¡­" Without needing Rong He to explain further, Mo Wuji understood. This Star Searching Merchant House was indeed successful ¨C they even controlled a gambling den. "Brother Peng, may I ask, how many contribution points do I need for the Thoughtless Light Radiance?" "At least over 500,000 points," Peng Zimai answered. He wasn¡¯t afraid that Mo Wuji would want what he had to offer. In fact, he was afraid that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be interested in what he had to offer. "If I agree to get on the Star Searching Battlestage, how many contribution points would I get per battle?" Mo Wuji asked. "Every battle won would earn you 500 contribution points," Peng Zimai answered, raising one of his palms. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. Was he trying to pacify a beggar? At that rate, he had to fight over a thousand battles in order to accumulate enough contribution points to purchase a Heaven Grade magic skill. Regardless of whether he won or lost, he would be dead beat. He could also forget about cultivating. He would have to spend all his days accepting others¡¯ challenges on the battlestage. If he had not made it onto the Universal Board, nor fought with Yan Yangdong, 50 contribution points would have been sufficient, much less 500. However, to think that he would agree to fight for 500 contribution points per battle given his current reputation¡­ Peng Zimai must have thought Mo Wuji was a clueless bird. He was sure that if he went to the Star Searching Battlestage, Star Searching Merchant House would make a windfall. Yet, despite risking his life, he would only be paid 500 contribution points per battle. "Shopkeeper Peng, I would like to propose something. If your merchant house loans 1,000,000 contribution points to me, we can discuss me fighting on Star Searching Battlestage after the auction. What do you think?" Mo Wuji asked for 1,000,000 contribution points in an instant. Peng Zimai, along with Chu Qianlou and the rest, were all shocked. "Dao Friend Mo, I came with every intention to discuss with you¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted him, "Shopkeeper Peng, I am sincere in discussing with you too. Let me ask you, how many people can your Star Searching Battlestage accommodate?" "10,000 people." "Alright. If I participate in the battle, do you think the Star Searching Battlestage will be filled up? You don¡¯t have to answer ¨C I know it will. If we organise two battles per day, and you charge five contribution points per person, you would earn 100,000 contribution points in one day alone. In ten days, you would earn 1,000,000. Now, I am asking for 1,000,000 contribution points on loan. And you still think it¡¯s not worth it?" Mo Wuij was grinning. Of course, Peng Zimai had thought of all of these already. It was precisely because he had thought of it that he came to look for Mo Wuji. He had actually planned to lend Mo Wuji some contribution points, but he had not expected that Mo Wuji would ask for 1,000,000. "Since Shopkeeper Peng sees a problem, I can look for other battlestages," Mo Wuji began to rise to his feet. There were indeed plenty of underground battlestages in Universal Hall. "I agree, but surely you have to leave something with me as a form of security?" Upon hearing that Mo Wuji was ready to approach other battlestages, Peng Zimai accepted the offer. He knew that Mo Wuji had purposely said that to test his reaction, but Peng Zimai was unwilling to take the risk and let him go. Mo Wuji took out his Octagonal Steel Hammer and said, "This is a top grade spiritual item, which I depended on to survive. I will leave this with you." It was clearly a mediocre spiritual item, yet Mo Wuji described it as a top grade spiritual item Peng Zimai did not bother to argue. In any case, Mo Wuji would not be able to default on his debt even if he had not left anything with Peng Zimai as security, unless he never wanted to show his face in Universal Hall again. Since Mo Wuji was on the Universal Board, it was absolutely impossible that he would not want to return to Universal Hall. "Alright, but after the auction, Dao Friend Mo must fulfil his promise to fight on the Star Searching Battlestage," Peng Zimai agreed to Mo Wuji¡¯s request. Chapter 315: The Solitary Red Knot Chapter 315: The Solitary Red Knot Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You¡¯ve really promised him? But that underground battlestage is very dangerous," Chu Qianlou questioned Mo Wuji after they had seen Peng Zimai out. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes. I desperately need a magic skill. I have a feeling that the Yan Clan will not let me off so easily. If not for this auction, I would escape from Universal Hall now, and head to space." It was a last-minute decision on Mo Wuji¡¯s part to agree to Peng Zimai¡¯s request. Both Peng Zimai and Chu Qianlou were sure that the only reason Mo Wuji had agreed to fight on the underground battlestage was to obtain a magic skill. Only Mo Wuji knew that he had only agreed to Peng Zimai¡¯s request, on hardly any conditions at that, because he had his eye on the pole technique. However, there was a more important reason ¨C to escape Universal Hall. Even though he said that the auction was the only thing keeping him back, he knew for a fact that he was not able to go to space now. If the Yan Clan were really so slow to react, it would have been hard for them to become one of the three major clans in Star King Mountain. The Yan Clan was obviously holding back because they were concerned about Star King Mountain or something else, and definitely not because they were worried about Mo Wuji. He was sure that as long as they could find any excuse, they would immediately hunt him down. Mo Wuji guessed that people from the Yan Clan were watching every spatial gate that led out of Universal Pier. In this world, it was easy to find excuses to cause trouble for others. As long as the Yan Clan wanted him to stay, they were able to find a hundred reasons to prohibit him from leaving. Looking at things from a bigger picture, even if the Yan Clan allowed him to leave Universal Hall, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to. Who could guarantee that they wouldn¡¯t follow him into space? He had been followed before. He was lucky that the fella underestimated his skills, and that they had met with the Space Scorpion. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape safe and sound. Since the Yan Clan lacked an excuse, he was going to give them one. He had to go to the underground battlestage after the auction anyway. He believed that the Yan Clan would receive information about where he was headed, and that they would be waiting for him at the battlestage. What confused him was that Peng Zimai did not seem in the least bit worried that the Yan Clan would kill Mo Wuji in the first battle. If the Yan Clan killed him in his first battle, Star Searching Merchant House could forget about using him to earn contribution points. The only explanation was that the Star Searching Merchant House was confident in keeping Mo Wuji safe from the Yan Clan, so that he could earn sufficient contribution points for them. This wasn¡¯t strange. If the Star Searching Merchant House did not have some kind of support, they would not have survived to this day, much less become so successful. "Then you must be careful," Chu Qianlou said worriedly. "Sister Chu, I will be fine. The Yan Clan has not made any moves yet because they still don¡¯t understand me. I still need to go out to attend to some matters. After the auction, I might head straight to space. All of you have to take care of yourselves," Mo Wuji said, looking at Pang Qi and co. He believed that the yellow-bearded law enforcer would not spread rumours about him, and that the Jing Clan would not dare to mess with Pang Qi and co. As for the Yan Clan, Mo Wuji guessed that they would not do anything to anger Pang Qi and co. After thinking for a second, Mo Wuji retrieved an order flag and handed it over to Chu Qianlou, saying, "If the Yan Clan or the Jing Clan dares to cause trouble for you, take this order flag and look for Mou Lanhan of the Northern Star Army. You can even join the Northern Star Army." Even though he believed that the Yan Clan would not provoke them, Mo Wuji was still worried. A clan like the Yan Clan worked very differently in public and in the dark. He was afraid that they would try something funny in the dark. "You know Mou Lanhan of the Mou Clan? Then you should go to Northern Star Army. The Yan Clan would not dare to take action," Chu Qianlou rejoiced. Mo Wuji shook his head, "I might join them in future, but not now." He was definitely not going to look for Mou Lanhan now. He was unsure if he would become the bargaining chip between the Mou Clan and the Yan Clan. At least until he was in control of the situation, he was not going to join the Northern Star Army. Chu Qianlou and co were not the Yan Clan¡¯s target, hence they could approach Mou Lanhan without these concerns. Moreover, if he were to look for the Northern Star Army¡¯s Mou Lanhan now, he would owe him a huge favour. It was likely he would have to risk his life to repay this favour. Mo Wuji did not want that. Of course, Chu Qianlou and co would also owe him a favour if they approached the Northern Star Army with this order flag. However, this favour was far smaller. At the most, Mou Lanhan would only be helping to hire them. He had been surviving on his own long enough to understand this. "Alright. If we need it, I will bring Pang Qi and co. to the Northern Star Army." Chu Qianlou accepted Mo Wuji¡¯s order flag. ¡­ A few days passed. Chu Qianlou and co. did not disturb Mo Wuji, as if they understood that he was preparing to enter space. They were one day away from the auction. Mo Wuji packed his belongings and left to attend to some matters. Mo Wuji now had close to 1,100,000 universal contribution points at his disposal. However, to him, this was still insufficient. At that moment, the ban at the door shook. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will went through the ban. He saw a skinny man in black clothing. This man looked like a sword with no sheath. His entire being was exuding a sharp sword qi. In fact, he carried a no-sheath sword on his back and had a red ribbon tied around his wrist. From the looks of it, he had probably completed True Lake Stage. Mo Wuji opened the ban at the door and asked, "Friend, what¡¯s the matter?" The black clothed man eyed Mo Wuji up and down. Then, he nodded and said, "I¡¯m here to look for you. Are you not going to invite me in?" Mo Wuji snickered. This person in True Lake Stage was not going to be able to harm him. He was not afraid, even if that person was from the Yan Clan. "Please come in." Mo Wuji invited the black clothed man into the house and replaced the ban. "You¡¯re not bad. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve heard of someone who dared to hit a law enforcer and yet remained safe and sound. Keke, never mind that. You even dared to kill someone from the Yan Clan," the black clothed man spoke without restraint after he sat down. "I will not be afraid to fight back if someone tries to kill me, even if he¡¯s the hall master of Universal Hall," Mo Wuji replied coolly. The black clothed man clapped, "That¡¯s right, I appreciate people like you. I, too, will kill whoever wants to kill me, regardless of who he is." Mo Wuji remained still. He calmly asked, "My friend, you and I have not met before. Have you come here just to say these things?" "I am here to tell you that the Yan Clan will come after you," the black clothed casually answered while he tapped the table with his finger. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care. "So what? The Universal Hall has its rules." The black clothed man did not react to this. Instead, he said, "I believe you understand that the rules of Universal Hall are rubbish. And I think you¡¯re guessing that the Yan Clan¡¯s people will kill you on the Star Searching Battlestage¡­" Mo Wuji was shocked. Before he could ask, the black clothed man continued, "I received news. Based on my judgement, someone is planning to kill you just before you leave the auction. You won¡¯t be able to make it to the battlestage, so if you think you can leave Universal Hall under the guise of heading there, you¡¯re dreaming." "Who are you? Why are you telling me this?" After calming himself down, Mo Wuji realised that his plan was not going to work. He could not figure out one thing. According to logic, there was absolutely no loophole in his plan. It was most logical for the Yan Clan to kill him on the battlestage. Why would the Yan Clan choose to kill him just before he left the auction? Mo Wuji took the black clothed man¡¯s words seriously, without regard for whether he was telling the truth. The black clothed man smiled slightly and said, "I have no name, but I do have a nickname, the Solitary Red Knot. I¡¯m helping you because I appreciate you. Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t believe me." Mo Wuji had never heard of the Solitary Red Knot. However, he had to believe the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s words, whether or not they were true. "You think I should leave now?" Mo Wuji asked, without saying if he believed him or not. If the Solitary Red Knot said he should leave at that moment, he would chase this person out immediately. The auction was to be held the next day. Leaving at that moment was equivalent to courting death. "Leaving now will be suicide. But I do have a plan to help you this once. Before that, I have to tell you something else. Star Searching Battlestage actually belongs to the Yan Clan. Not many people know this. Just like how not many people know that the Single Horn Battlestage belongs to the Xia Clan," the Solitary Red Knot calmly said. "What?" Mo Wuji was suddenly agitated. Now, he finally understood why Peng Zimai was so willing to lend him 1,000,000 contribution points without regard for whether the Yan Clan would allow him to earn it back. "I am helping you because my older brother was killed after fighting with a law enforcer. At the time, he was clearly the one in the right in his conflict with the Xia Clan. Yet, the law enforcers mixed up good and evil and killed him without reason. Throughout all these years, I have seen law enforcers trying to pacify the three major clans, and supporters cowardly accepting the injustice that law enforcers do. They offer their right cheek after being slapped on the left. You are the first here who dared to fight a law enforcer, and yet remained safe and sound." The Solitary Red Knot sucked in a long breath after speaking. "Maybe your luck is better. You only offended a small fry in the Jing Clan. Or maybe Yu Qianni is a law enforcer who does not like making a scene." "Have you stayed here all this time, waiting for a chance to take revenge?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. The Solitary Red Knot remained unmoved and answered, "I don¡¯t only want revenge. I want to start a law enforcement organisation here that does not belong to the three major clans. Universal Hall belongs to all the cultivators in Zhen Xing, not just the three major clans. Of course, before that, I have to kill many people." Mo Wuji felt the rage burning in the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s chest. Out of nowhere, he said, "Maybe I can help you in future. But for now, I have to make a trip to Single Horn Battlestage." ¡­ Star Searching Merchant House had always been one of the biggest merchant houses in Universal Hall. This merchant house remained low-profile, yet they organised many of the large-scale auctions. It was the opening day of the biggest auction that Universal Hall had seen in two years. This auction was organised by the Star Searching Merchant House. Mo Wuji, disguised as a middle-aged man, hid among the crowd and entered Star Searching Merchant House¡¯s auction place. He was in awe of the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s disguising skills. Anyone who stared him in the face would not have guessed he was in disguise, unless they used their divine sense. Indeed, people who could survive in Universal Hall were not simple. Chapter 316: Auctioning For The Nirvana Pole Shadow Chapter 316: Auctioning For The Nirvana Pole Shadow Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Universal Pier Hotel was where a man wearing a space hat was finding the Star Searching Merchant House¡¯s auction place anxiously. Whether from the front view, side view or even from his aura, one could tell very clearly that it was Mo Wuji. Very soon, Mo Wuji had already sat on a seat that wasn¡¯t too obvious. He had long ignited the shield ban around his seat such that before he released the ban, nobody would be able to use their spiritual will to sense Mo Wuji. Peng Zimai¡¯s face was full of smiles as he walked to the middle of the auction place, "Fellow friends, there will be many unbelievable treasures up for auction this time which was why I will personally be hosting this auction. I hope that all my friends here would be able to purchase treasures that they like. We need to state beforehand that this auction will only accept the space contribution points. Alright, the auction shall begin now. The first item was a book and this book was neither a technique book nor a magic skill book but a Book of Records. After flipping through, I noticed that there were all sorts of interesting sketches and explanations for example, ¡®Why the immortal road was cut off¡¯, ¡®Why is it impossible to be immortal¡¯, ¡®The origins of the Half Moon Immortal Palace as well as the half moon key¡­" Honestly, Peng Zimai was extremely against putting this book on auction because this book would definitely not bring any good to the auction and could even invite trouble. But since the Yan Clan wanted this to be put on auction, he had no other choice because at least for now, the Yan Clan had absolute control over the Star Searching Merchant House. Solitary Red Knot told Mo Wuji that the Star Searching Merchant House was a property of the Yan Clan but this wasn¡¯t completely accurate. The Star Searching Merchant House didn¡¯t belong to the Yan Clan 100% and as for the reason why Peng Zimai looked for Mo Wuji earlier on, he was simply trying to earn a huge profit of contribution points from Mo Wuji. The moment Mo Wuji heard about the half moon key, he immediately thought of the half moon key that was stolen away from Pang Qi by the Jing Clan. His first reaction was to think about whether he should buy it but he dismissed the idea of bidding for it very quickly. He didn¡¯t know the relationship between the half moon key and the Half Moon Immortal Palace and he didn¡¯t wish to know. Since the Yan Clan was already dragged into it, it would be very hard to not get involved with the Yan Clan if he went there. What he urgently needed wasn¡¯t some sort of Book of Records but a pole technique instead. Even though Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t interested, there were quite a number of people interesting in getting it. Within a short period of time, the price of the book had already soared to 9000 contribution points. On the second level of the auction place in cabin number 17, there was a grey robed man staring at a massive array monitoring screen. This screen was different from the other cabins because for the other cabins¡¯ monitoring screen, they were all showing the bids of the auction as well as the introduction for the items that were being introduced. However, the array monitoring screen in front of him was showing every corner of this auction place. "Investigate who was the one who just bought the Book of Records, " The grey robed man sounded out the moment the Book of Records was successfully purchased. "Yes," A cultivator standing beside the grey robed man said and left immediately. After a short while, this cultivator came back and answered, "It was an old man with a very raw face. It looked like it is a disguise." The grey robed man nodded his head, "Include him in the list of people to take note of. And also, did that Mo Wuji do anything yet?" This cultivator replied immediately, "After Mo Wuji entered the huge cabin, he didn¡¯t do anything extraordinary up till now." ¡­ Peng Zimai took out the second item for auction, "The next item for auction would be a top grade spiritual armour. The starting bid would be 5000 contribution points and every increment should not be lesser than a 100 contribution points." The moment he heard it was an armour, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but to bid. But when he remembered the situation he was in, he still controlled himself because he probably shouldn¡¯t bid too often because it might attract the attention of people. Very soon, this armour¡¯s bid increased to over 100,000 contribution points and was eventually purchased by someone. "The third item would be a Heaven grade technique, Flowing Clouds Bible¡­" Before Peng Zimai could finish introducing the item, the entire auction place was already filled with cheers because not everyone was like Mo Wuji who ignited a shield ban around his seats to isolate himself from the rest. Peng Zimai used his hands to quieten the crowd, "Even though the Flowing Clouds Bible might be a Heaven grade technique, it is incomplete which is why the starting bid would be 50,000 contribution points and each increment would not be any lesser than 1000 contribution points." Even though Peng Zimai had already mentioned that this was an incomplete Heaven grade technique book, the bid rose up to 100,000 contribution points very quickly and was currently still on the rise. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because he never expected a Heaven grade technique book to be this attractive to the crowd. He wondered if he would have as many competitors for his Nirvana Pole Shadow too. He only had about 1,600,000 contribution points while one million of the points were from the Star Searching Merchant House the other 500,000 points was from the Xia Clan¡¯s Single Horn Battlestage. To get this 500,000 contribution points, he even needed to sign a contract with the Single Horn Battlestage which was to challenge someone at the Single Horn Battlestage after the auction ended and he could only leave the Single Horn Battlestage 10 days later. This contract was only known to the Single Horn Battlestage and himself so even the Star Searching Merchant House was not aware of it. Mo Wuji would naturally not tell the Star Searching Merchant House anything and certainly not about the Single Horn Battlestage. In fact, only the Xia Clan¡¯s Single Horn Battlestage would dare to do such things because if it was any other battlestage, even if Mo Wuji signed a contract with them, they wouldn¡¯t dare to compete against the Star Searching Merchant House. "650,000 contribution points. If anyone dare to compete with me please feel free to make your bid," A loud voice could be heard from one of the cabin on the second level and very soon, the display screen displaced the bid of 650,000 contribution points. Peng Zimai waved the deal hammer in his hand excitedly, "Anyone willing to bid higher than 650,000 contribution points? This is the first call¡­" Even after Peng Zimai called out thrice, nobody offered a higher price than 650,000. Space contribution points and spirit stones were two very different things as contribution points were worth much more than Earth grade spirit stones here. Following which were all sorts of pills, spiritual herbs, spiritual equipments and even some sporadic techniques and magic skills but Mo Wuji was not interested in any of these. He didn¡¯t even bid for the top grade armour hence, he would naturally not bid for any of these ordinary items. Half a day had already passed at the auction place and because there were constantly a lot of great items being put on auction, the atmosphere was finally reaching its climax. "The next item up for auction would be a magic skill called the Nirvana Pole Shadow which is a Heaven grade magic skill and it is definitely complete without doubts¡­" Peng Zimai got the crowd going crazy once again because a Heaven grade magic skill, regardless of the spiritual equipment needed, was something countless of people would fight for. Without mentioning that it was a pole skill, even if it was an unpopular weapon, as long as it was Heaven grade and above, it would be extremely valuable. "This starting bid would be 400,000 contribution points and each increment must be at least 5000 contribution points. Let the auction begin now," Peng Zimai exclaimed. Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit was finally lifted as the thing he had been waiting for finally arrived. A starting bid of 400,000 contribution points was simply too high and if he didn¡¯t make a visit to the Xia Clan¡¯s battlestage, he really would not be capable to compete at all. In a split second, the Nirvana Pole Shadow¡¯s price surged to 500,000 contribution points but Mo Wuji was not anxious to make a bid as he waited patiently. After half an incense worth of time had passed, the bid of the Nirvana Pole Shadow had increased by quite a bit to 900,000 contribution points. Mo Wuji was rejoicing at the fact that he had another hand readied because if he were to just listen to this Peng Zimai, he might have to return empty handed today. "960,000 contribution points," Mo Wuji added 60,000 points on his own bidding display screen. Mo Wuji¡¯s bid was very quickly overtaken as the price of the item was already more than 1,000,000. "1,060,000 contribution points," Mo Wuji increased yet another 60,000 contribution points. Everybody wanted the Nirvana Pole Shadow but once the price had exceeded 1000,000, this was simply not something any ordinary person could afford. "1,100,000 contribution points," The bid in the cabin increased yet again. Mo Wuji sighed and immediately bid 1,350,000 contribution points, an increment of 250,000 contribution points. The crowd of cultivators here at the auction place all took in a breath of cold air because an increment of 600,000 was already very ridiculous. One must know that these were contribution points not spirit stones and every single point was hard earned yet someone could actually bid 1,350,000 contribution points. Does he really have so much points to burn? Logically speaking, increasing another 50,000 points from 1,100,000 would already make people in the cabin give up but this fool was actually so fired up and increased 250,000 in one shot. Even the host of the auction, Peng Zimai could not believe the amount of contribution points he was looking at. This wasn¡¯t his first time hosting an auction but this was the first time he had seen such a fired up fella. This wasn¡¯t simply a case of being rich and ostentatious but pure stupidity. Indeed, after Mo Wuji called out 1,350,000 contribution points, nobody in the cabin continued to compete with him for it. However, Mo Wuji was not surprised because he knew that after he bid 1,350,000 contribution points, it would definitely be too much for the fella who was competing with him. It was not that he was desperate to burn his contribution points like that but because he needed to do so. According to his prediction, a bid of 1,350,000 contribution points should be able to purchase the pole skill. Concurrently, the grey robed man in cabin number 17 on the second level saw the bid of 1,350,000 contribution points and asked, "Did that Mo Wuji do anything yet?" The cultivator beside him hurried to say, "No, he didn¡¯t have more than 1,100, 000 contribution points with him so he wouldn¡¯t even be qualified to compete for the Nirvana Pole Shadow. I¡¯ve heard that he was interested in the Thoughtless Light Radiance." "Alright, watch him closely when the Thoughtless Light Radiance is out. If I am not wrong, he would leave immediately after he managed to get the Thoughtless Light Radiance," The grey robed man said in a deep voice. "Yes," The cultivator by the side answered. Mo Wuji had already transferred 1,350,000 contribution points on the transfer platform in front of his seat and received the Nirvana Pole Shadow simultaneously. Chapter 317: Leaving The Scene Chapter 317: Leaving The Scene Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations While the auction was still going on, Mo Wuji had already started installing several array flags on his seats before leaving his seat unnoticed. There were over 100,000 people here for this auction held by the Star Searching Commerce so no one would find it odd when someone left his seat. After leaving his seat, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t leave the auction place immediately but walked around the place for a while before returning back to the seat. The difference this time round was that he didn¡¯t return to his original seat but another empty seat elsewhere. For preventive sake, Solitary Red Knot and himself bought a total of 4 seats. After settling down at his new seat, the array flags he installed earlier on ignited themselves and the seat ban was ignited once again. As the auction was still ongoing, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bid for anything anymore. He didn¡¯t even take out his Nirvana Pole Shadow to take a look at it but chose to shut his eyes and rest instead. A day had finally passed by and after day 2 was halfway done, Peng Zimai finally called out for the Heaven grade magic skill, Thoughtless Light Radiance. The starting bid of this magic skill was even higher than the Nirvana Pole Shadow and even Mo Wuji was curious to know just how much contribution points would this magic skill be sold for eventually. Concurrently, the grey robed man in cabin number 27 said coldly, "Watch that Mo Wuji closely because he would definitely make his move for that magic skill." "Indeed," Even without the grey robed man¡¯s reminder, the cultivator next to him knew that he had to watch Mo Wuji closely. This time, the Yan Clan arrived at the auction place publicly just for that Mo Wuji. The Thoughtless Light Radiance¡¯s price had soared up to 1,000,000 contribution points very quickly and similarly, once it reached this price, the bids started to slow down. There were simply no many people who would be able to fork out 1,000,000 contribution points just for one skill. "Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t bid?" The grey robed man stared at the two monitoring display screen in front of him and said with a premonition. "He has yet to bid," After saying this, the cultivator seemed worried as he said, "Elder, I will go over and take a look." After just two minutes, the cultivator who left came back in a hurry and said, "Mo Wuji was no longer in his cabin. He must have used a Teleport Talisman to leave the cabin at the crucial moment. I¡¯ve just received news that he had left the auction place not long ago¡­" "Bang!" The grey robed man destroyed the monitoring display screen in front of him with one slap, "Block off the spatial gate. My Yan Clan would definitely show Gong Bao that old fella our prowess someday," Even though the grey robed man knew that even before he block off the spatial gate, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to leave, he was just unhappy. If not for Gong Bao¡¯s intervention, he could have even be able to monitor the situation in Mo Wuji¡¯s cabin and would have known whenever Mo Wuji left the cabin. However, that Gong Bao kept insisting that doing this would ruin the Star Searching Merchant House¡¯s reputation hence, was absolutely determined to not do such a thing. The Yan Clan was also helpless as they didn¡¯t have full control over the Star Searching Merchant House. As the auction drew closer to the end, the last item was auctioned out and after the auction ended, the fact that there were still no news of Mo Wuji made the grey robed man dejected. The Yan Clan could block off the spatial gates and investigate cultivators who entered or left the door but that would only be for specific individuals. The moment thousands of people entered the spatial gate, the Yan Clan would simply be courting death if they dared to check on each and every one of the cultivators. The moment the auction ended, tens of thousands of people rushed out of the Star Searching Merchant House. As Mo Wuji left the auction place, he immediately spotted the Solitary Red Knot from far away. The Solitary Red Knot had already returned to his original state which meant that his crucial period was over. Mo Wuji was no longer worried as he squeezed within the crowd and headed towards the Universal Pier. According to the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s experience, every time a large scale auction ended, there would be thousands of people leaving the Universal Pier into the Star Wars Battlefield. Naturally, there would be even more people leaving the Universal Hall into the Piercing Wind City. No matter how strong the Yan Clan was, they wouldn¡¯t dare to interrogate and examine when so many people were leaving the Universal Pier together. Furthermore, they would need to hold onto the cultivators heading towards the Piercing Wind City. It could be said that the split second that the Solitary Red Knot had escaped the Yan Clan¡¯s watch, the Yan Clan¡¯s plan to capture Mo Wuji was a failure. Mo Wuji followed the crowd of cultivators into the Universal Pier and when he arrived at the third level of the Universal Pier, he saw a familiar person, Yan¡¯Er. Under normal circumstances, Mo Wuji would not hesitate to greet her but presently, he would bring harm to her if he went over to greet her. Moreover, Mo Wuji could tell that the female cultivator beside Yan¡¯Er was not weaker than Mou Lanhan and was definitely an extremely strong expert. With such a strong expert beside Yan¡¯Er, nothing should happen to her. Just like Mo Wuji and the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s prediction, even though there was a Yan Clan¡¯s member at every spatial gate, the members really didn¡¯t dare to interrogate anyone at this moment. Mo Wuji followed the rest of the cultivators and entered the vast universe from spatial gate number 7. The moment he entered the universe, he would instantaneously retrieved his round flying ship and flew into the depths of the universe. "Yan¡¯Er, let¡¯s go, I doubt he will be coming. Or rather, he should have left this place long ago," The scarf faced woman saw that there were lesser and lesser people at the spatial gate so she dragged Yan¡¯Er to leave level 3. These two people were indeed Bei Suting and Yan¡¯Er. Bei Suting predicted that Mo Wuji would immediately leave from the Universal Pier after killing Yan Yangdong and the Yan Clan would immediately stop him at the Universal Pier. She brought Yan¡¯Er here as they were prepared to help Mo Wuji but their efforts came to naught. She didn¡¯t see both Mo Wuji and the Yan Clan¡¯s members trying to obstruct Mo Wuji. "Sister Suting, where are we heading to now?" Yan¡¯Er asked. Bei Suting pointed to the huge hall in front and said, "That is the turf of the Star Sea Army. Previously, General Shu Xuanyu invited us to join their Star Sea Army and I felt that what she said made perfect sense. We should join the Star Sea Army and after we earned enough contribution points from the army, we will enter the Star King Mountain to cultivate. Do not worry, I will definitely advance to the Worldly Immortal Stage and help you invite San Yisheng to help." Yan¡¯Er hesitated for a while but didn¡¯t say anything much. Bei Suting laughed at herself before saying, "Yan¡¯Er, do you think I changed my mind? Initially, I did have the intention to accept missions by myself to earn contribution points before heading to the Star King Mountain. By doing so, we would at least not be involved in the clash of interests between the 10 big armies. I suddenly realised that I am a little too inexperienced." "Sister Suting?" Yan¡¯Er looked curiously at Bei Suting. In her heart, the way Sister Suting handled things were already mature enough. When the new Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s disciples came over, they were all under the care of Sister Suting which was why their cultivation level could increase so quickly. If Sister Suting was too inexperienced, then wouldn¡¯t Yan¡¯Er be worse than a random brat on the street? Bei Suting used her spiritual will to scan the surrounding before whispering, "If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, Mo Wuji had long left the spatial gate and the Yan Clan had already sent people to block him off. However, since we knew nothing about this, this showed that Mo Wuji was much more experienced than the two of us and even the Yan Clan was not a match for him. I am sure that he had some experienced fella¡¯s help in the Universal Hall to be able to slip out of the Yan¡¯s Clan watch and surveillance. No wonder he was able to be ranked on the Universal Board because without mentioning his strength, even with this ability of his, he truly deserved this kind of honour. "Perhaps he didn¡¯t participate in the auction and only left together with everyone here after the auction ended?" Yan¡¯Er questioned. Bei Suting shook her head and didn¡¯t answer. The Yan Clan was waiting for Mo Wuji to join the auction and if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to join the auction, that Mo Wuji would have been taken away by the Yan Clan long ago. ¡­ At the Yan Clan¡¯s encampment in the Universal Hall, Yan Pingzhi had already arrived here the moment he found out that they hadn¡¯t capture Mo Wuji. Currently, he felt a little regret now because he couldn¡¯t believe that to catch a small True Lake Stage cultivator. In fact, the Yan Clan sent out several True God Stage experts and actually failed to capture him. If he had known, he would have came over personally and even if other clans were to suspect them, he shall not bother about them. Now that he was finally here, the pity was that Mo Wuji had already escaped. Yan Pingzhi sat emotionlessly on the seat in front as he stared coldly at a grey robed man and said, "Yan Gaokai, please explain the situation in details." "Yes," The grey robed man bowed respectfully before saying, "The person I was watching from the start was the wrong person as the real Mo Wuji actually purchased the Nirvana Pole Shadow for 1,350,000 contribution points. Previously, we thought that he had at most 1,100,000 contribution points on him but the truth was that one day before the auction begun, he managed to cheat another 500,000 contribution points from the Xia Clan¡¯s Single Horn Battlestage before intentionally purchasing the Nirvana Pole Shadow for 1,350,000 contribution points to mislead us. After I realised the person we have been stalking disappeared, I reacted and found out that he had long left his seat and the ban on his seat was ignited by an ignition array." Yan Pingzhi didn¡¯t continue to rage because he knew this wasn¡¯t Yan Gaokai¡¯s misjudgement but a problem in capability. Why would a truly capable person only put his attention on one spot? Yan Gaokai was still in the state of panic because he had to ask about Mo Wuji from the Single Horn Battlestage to know that he had cheated another 500,000 contribution points there. ¡­ After entering the universe, Mo Wuji had been continuously travelling and after a total of tens of days, he finally came to a stop. It was not that he wanted to stop but it was because an old, broken flying ship was blocking his path. On the bow of this flying ship was a woman wearing a linen cloth robe. This woman¡¯s face was free of make up and looked clean and pure. The small portion of neck which was revealed was extremely fair. Her long hair was tied neatly behind her just like the princess of a kingdom. A simple look with a pure set of eyes made everyone feel better just by looking at her. "I am really sorry because I shouldn¡¯t be obstructing you. However, I am lost now and the ban on the flying ship was destroyed in space¡­" The linen robed woman saw Mo Wuji walked onto the deck before saying in a hurry. Her voice was very soft and before she could speak, her face had already turned red. Mo Wuji laughed slightly, "No problem, I can give you a lift but I am not headed towards the Universal Hall." This woman should be in the Nihility God Stage, slightly higher than his in terms of cultivation level. "Ah¡­" This woman was shocked when she heard that Mo Wuji was not heading towards the Universal Hall. She only swallowed her saliva after a while before saying, "Then I¡­" After saying the two words, even she appeared to be speechless. Chapter 318: I Want To Say Something Too Chapter 318: I Want To Say Something Too Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji laughed out loud, "You can keep your flying ship and board my flying ship first. I can help you keep a lookout for flying ships heading towards the Universal Hall on the way to my destination." "Thank you," The linen robed woman smiled shyly as she kept her flying ship and carefully landed on the bow of the Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship. She looked as though she was afraid of dirtying Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship. "Who wouldn¡¯t have their difficult times out in this real world? However, from the looks of it, you really didn¡¯t look like you belonged here," Mo Wuji laughed as he spoke. The woman smiled shyly again and looked like she didn¡¯t know how to reply. She evidently didn¡¯t seem like a talkative person to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s four limbs did shiver a little but managed to recover very quickly later. Even though he was still smiling, a killing intent grew in his heart. This shy, innocent looking woman actually poisoned him the moment she got on his ship. Moreover, even Mo Wuji was unable to detect what poison it was. It could be said that if he didn¡¯t opened his Detoxification Meridian, he would have fell into the hands of this woman. This rang an alarm bell in Mo Wuji to never drop his guard no matter how innocent or harmless the other party looked. The poison that entered the Detoxification Meridian would turned into a surge of spiritual Yuan and Mo Wuji was astonished. The stronger the surge of spiritual Yuan, the stronger the poison was. Mo Wuji looked subconsciously at his surrounding and he couldn¡¯t tell anything suspicious. However, Mo Wuji was still sure that his surrounding air had already been filled with toxin. This was the first time even Mo Wuji felt that he was against a terrifying poison expert. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even sure that an expert in the Great Circle of the True God Stage would be able to take this. What about a Worldly Immortal? Mo Wuji tottered for two steps before using his hand to support his forehead and sat down cautiously. "Big brother, are you okay?" The linen robed woman hurried to ask concernedly. Mo Wuji shook his head, "I am fine, just that my body is feeling a little uncomfortable. I should be fine after sitting for awhile. Oh yes, how do I address you?" The linen robed woman shifted her gaze from Mo Wuji¡¯s body towards the vast universe outside his flying ship and sighed before saying, "I have no name but if I had to say a name, that would be a name someone once gave me, Poison Fairy." Mo Wuji suddenly thought of his conversation with the Solitary Red Knot and realised that the Solitary Red Knot said he had no name too and his ¡®Solitary Red Knot¡¯ was a name given by others. In comparison, both the Poison Fairy and Solitary Red Knot were similar but completely different. "Because even a Worldly Immortal will be poisoned to death by me and because I looked very kind and friendly, a lot of people called me the fairy¡­" Poison Fairy¡¯s tone was gentle and one simply couldn¡¯t hear any traces of killing intent in her voice. This was indeed the voice of a fairy but the things she did was actually very vicious. Furthermore, she even looked kind and friendly, ah, seems like this woman knew herself well. "Poison Fairy?" Mo Wuji looked ¡®surprisingly¡¯ at this innocent looking woman in the linen robe before saying, "You should be called the Mortal Fairy instead. Why are they so wicked to call you the Poison Fairy? You¡¯re so beautiful, one look and people will like you." "So do you like me?" The Poison Fairy suddenly asked Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "I have already treated you as the second woman I liked." "Then I am truly honoured. Oh yes, if I said that I was the one who poisoned you earlier, would you like me any lesser?" Poison Fairy kept staring at Mo Wuji with a pair of large innocent. Mo Wuji sighed, compared to this woman, the Oscars Award winners were really nothing more than slags. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to produce such innocent eyes that was capable of touching one¡¯s heart. Perhaps this was a technique and it was even stronger than an illusion array because even illusion arrays had traces to look out for. "You poisoned me? Why did you want to poison me?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked with a change of expression. He realised that he had the potential to progress far in the media industry because regardless the world they were in, people put on masks when interacting with other people most of the time. Just like himself, and this Poison Fairy in front of him. "Because you killed Number 731," Poison Fairy replied. "You are a member of the Broken Sect?" Mo Wuji finally understood what happened. Initially, he thought the Yan Clan could recognise him which was why they stopped him. He was still wondering how they found him. Now that this woman talked about Number 731, he finally got a grasp of things. The white faced man without beard in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage which he killed previously, wasn¡¯t he the Number 731 of the Broken Sect? He was indeed correct because even though he didn¡¯t find any spiritual will imprint, the Number 731 expert must have placed imprints on his own body. The Broken Sect said that they will find him within three months and it had only been a while and they¡¯ve already found him. "You are very calm, no wonder you are able to kill Number 731 despite only being at the True Lake Stage. If I were to fight you face to face, I wouldn¡¯t be strong enough to win you too," Poison Fairy nodded her head and said while acknowledging Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath before staring at Poison Fairy and said, "I would be willing to even die at the hands of a beauty like you. There was a saying about dying under a Paeonia rockii and one would be merry even as a ghost. I only couldn¡¯t understand how you were able to find me?" This last sentence was what Mo Wuji wanted to ask because no matter how hard he tried previously, he was unable to find the spiritual will on his body. If this Poison Fairy was able to find him in the vast universe,it would mean that there was in fact a very clear spiritual imprint on himself. He was someone who couldn¡¯t be exposed so if he were to walk around the universe with a Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual imprint on him, it would be equivalent to him carrying a large light bulb on his back, impossible to go unnoticed. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish for such thing to happen. "Do you think I¡¯m beautiful?" Poison Fairy suddenly asked. Mo Wuji nodded his head and said truthfully, "You are indeed very beautiful and innocent looking¡­" "The truth is that I am very toxic right?" Poison Fairy laughed and then shook her head, "Sorry, I won¡¯t tell you. You are quite a decent person and I could see a type of purity in you but I still had to kill you. Therefore, I will accompany you as I watch you fade away. If you are reborn, please remember to not go against the Broken Sect." Mo Wuji revealed a smirk, "I want to say something too and that would be that if the Broken Sect was reborn, please don¡¯t go against me too. Remember my name, Mo Wuji." "You¡­" Poison Fairy felt something was amiss because the moment she murmured the word ¡®You¡¯, her entire body was restrained. One of Mo Wuji¡¯s hand was already grabbing her wrist. A large surge of elemental energy started flowing in and restricted all her spirit channels from circulating which made her completely immobile. "You are not afraid of my poison?" Poison Fairy glared shockingly at Mo Wuji as this was the first time she saw someone not fearful of her poison. All these years, she had even managed to poison a Worldly Immortal expert to death so how could this True Lake Stage cultivator in front of her not be affected? Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "If even you could poison me to death, I wouldn¡¯t have live till today." This sentence was just Mo Wuji bragging because if he didn¡¯t managed to open his 103rd meridian, he would have died 10,000 times because of this poison. "You are an outstanding person. The Broken Sect might regret going against you¡­" As she spoke, her mouth had already started vomiting black blood. Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy hurried into within the woman¡¯s body but the opponent was not willing to cooperate with him so he could only watch this woman¡¯s face turned darker and darker. "I didn¡¯t say I will definitely kill you, so why kill yourself? What¡¯s wrong with leaving the Broken Sect? You might even enjoy more freedom," Mo Wuji was anxious, not whether this woman lived or died, but where the spiritual imprint was on his body. "Once you¡¯ve entered the Broken Sect, freedom turned into ashes¡­" Poison Fairy revealed a self-deprecating smile and after she said this two sentence, she suddenly asked, "Why did you say you had treated me like the second woman you love? What did the first woman did to you?" She wasn¡¯t a fool because she knew that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really treat her as his second favourite woman. Mo Wuji smiled bitterly, "The first woman I loved stabbed me from the back and killed me¡­" "Killed you¡­" Poison Fairy struggled to open her eyes,"You were already dead, you are¡­" Mo Wuji nodded calmly, "You are right, I have already died once and this was my second life after being reborn. Therefore, I would never let anyone assassinate me easily, not even the Broken Sect!" "Quick, save me, save me¡­" Poison Fairy suddenly revealed a strong thirst to live and even though he had revealed his own identity, Mo Wuji was still hoping to save her for a while to find out where on his body was the spiritual will imprint hidden. The pity was that the poison in the body of Poison Fairy was simply too horrifying as with every passing minute, the skin on her body started to shrivel. "Imprint, your spiritual circulation technique¡­" Poison Fairy barely managed to say these few words before she fell onto the ground. Before half an incense could finish burning, she disintegrated into a void in front of Mo Wuji. There were not even any water stains left behind, let alone clothes. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air, what a strong poison. This woman¡¯s name, Poison Fairy, was really not just for show. Eventually, Poison Fairy seemed to wish to plead for her life as she imprinted on his spiritual energy circulation technique. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji seemed to have understood something as he hurried to cross his legs and sat at his original position. All 103 meridians started their spiritual circulation technique simultaneously and his spiritual will was also continuously scanning through his spiritual circulation. After just half a day, Mo Wuji could feel something different. Within his spiritual circulation technique, a trace of elemental energy was infected with some sort of obscured aura and this aura was even more evident within his elemental energy that was being circulated. Given his experience and ability, he had completely no clue what this trace of obscured aura was. Mo Wuji was secretly astonished because he was pre convinced that the imprints were placed on their body to serve as a marking so who knew there was still an imprint within his spiritual circulation technique. Chapter 319: Next Pole Chapter 319: Next Pole Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After an incense''s time, Mo Wuji purged out the elemental energy which contained the poison from his meridians. Before this strand of elemental energy could disperse, his Scholar¡¯s Heart burst out, evaporating it into nothingness. Mo Wuji''s face was slightly pale; Purging out his elemental energy was also cutting off his strength, it would cause a definite harm towards his body. However, he was ecstatic and relieved. He also felt his mind clearing up as he slowly came to understand the situation. The decision he made previously at Universal Hall was a little hazy, luckily the Solitary Red Knot helped to perfect his plan, allowing his escape from the Universal Hall to be successful. As the flying ship continued to sail, Mo Wuji fetched out Yan Yangdong''s storage ring. Whether he took this storage ring or not, he had already offended the Yan Clan. Mo Wuji was not a fool to just leave it behind. Yan Yangdong was not an ordinary True Lake Stage Level 9 cultivator. There¡¯s no need to mention that he was a Yan Clan disciple, just his Halberd Sunderer alone made his storage ring worth checking. Yan Yangdong''s restrictions on the storage ring were easily broken by Mo Wuji, piles of stuff appeared in front of Mo Wuji''s eyes. Mo Wuji marvelled inwardly, Yan Yangdong had more fortunes than an average True God Stage expert. Besides the piles of spirit stones, the lowest tier spiritual pills were Tier 3 spiritual pills, and most of them were Tier 4 and above. Mo Wuji simply flitted by the spiritual herbs and smithing materials. His gaze then turned towards the few technique scrolls and four jade boxes. Typically, the jade boxes would store the most valuable items. Mo Wuji first glanced through those technique scrolls but he was soon to be disappointed. These scrolls were not of low grade, they were all at least Treasured Xuan Grade. However, they weren''t very useful to Mo Wuji. He wanted that Halberd Sunderer but he didn''t manage to find it. However, he did find consolation in the flying ship within Yan Yangdong''s ring. The flying ship was no worse than the round flying ship he was currently in. Mo Wuji could only divert his hope towards the jade boxes. He opened the first jade box. Two Heaven Grade spirit stones lay quietly within the jade box, giving Mo Wuji a refreshing surprise. He really, really liked what he saw. Each Heaven Grade spirit stone extremely valuable, and its value did not lie in cultivation alone. After carefully keeping the two Heaven Grade spirit stones for himself, Mo Wuji opened the second jade box. Within it, he saw a familiar half moon key. Mo Wuji immediately picked up the half moon key, he finally understood why Yan Yangdong would be together with Jing Danwu. He was even praising Jing Danwu''s ability in hooking a rich husband. But from the looks of it now, Yan Yangdong was only with her for the half moon key. Jing Danwu, this foolish woman, kicked away the Pang Qi who loved her with his life, only to be used as a pawn by Yan Yangdong. Mo Wuji suddenly felt that he did not have the rights to say that Jing Danwu was foolish. If Jing Danwu was foolish, then he was foolish too. Back on Earth, didn''t he also avoid the woman who competed with Xia Ruoyin for his love? Mo Wuji shook his head, chucking these thoughts aside. He still didn''t know whether the half moon key in his hand was from Pang Qi''s family, but either way, he would give it to Pang Qi. He then opened the third jade box, and to his astonishment, there was another half moon key within. It looks like the Jing Clan''s half moon key and Pang Qi''s half moon key were both here. From the looks of it, these two keys were not fake goods. With Mo Wuji''s spiritual will, he wasn''t even able to delve into the enigmas within. Putting the two half moon key together, they indeed formed a full moon. However, Mo Wuji somehow felt that this full moon wasn''t perfect. Why was that so? He couldn''t really tell. Mo Wuji then directly opened the fourth jade box. As the jade box opened, a familiar full moon appeared in front of Mo Wuji''s eyes. This¡­ Mo Wuji hurriedly put those two half moon keys back together, wasn''t this full moon the fusion of two half moon keys? Mo Wuji soon confirmed his thoughts, this full moon was indeed formed from two half moon keys. And it was an extremely compatible fusion at that; there weren''t any bit of flaws and imperfection. If placing those two previous half moon keys together didn''t feel perfect, then this was what a perfect fusion felt like. After playing around for awhile, Mo Wuji placed these stuff aside. He suddenly understood why the Star Seeking Merchant House would first auction a Book of Records. Because the Book of Records contained information on the Half Moon Immortal Palace and the half moon keys. It definitely wasn''t a coincidence that the Book of Records was put on auction. The Yan Clan must have wanted to verify whether he had obtained the half moon keys. In other words, the half moon keys were very important to the Yan Clan. It was very possible that these half moon keys were related to the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Luckily, he didn''t open Yan Yangdong''s storage ring previously. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn''t have given up that Book of Records. The Yan Clan was, after all, one of the three great clans of Star King Mountain. If they viewed the half moon keys so highly, it would mean that these keys weren''t simple. The more important they were, the less Mo Wuji would want to give them to the Yan Clan. Mo Wuji decided to place the matters of the Half Moon Immortal Palace aside. His weakest point was that he didn''t have any pole related skills, now that he finally got himself a pole technique, he definitely had to take a look at it. The pole technique Mo Wuji bought was not a skill transfer crystal ball, but an ancient diagram booklet. The diagram booklet had been sealed and only three words could be seen on the exterior: Nirvana Pole Shadow. After carefully breaking the restrictions on the diagram booklet, Mo Wuji cautiously flipped it open. He was instantly shocked speechless. How was this a Heaven Grade skill? This was simply a rip-off! He spent his contribution to buy a Heaven Grade skill but there was only one move inside. And this move only had one name. This move¡¯s specific means and attack methods were all not mentioned. Besides the name, there were only the methods of using elemental energy and cultivating the skill. That means that this was simply a book of tips which thought you how to use elemental energy. Furthermore, the name of the move wasn''t even related to Nirvana, it was called Next Pole. 1,350,000 contribution points, and he only got this kind of thing. Mo Wuji was speechless. And he couldn''t even go back to cause trouble for the Star Seeking Merchant House. There was not a problem with the authenticity of the thing; from the looks of this thing, he could tell that it had passed through the vicissitudes of time. It was indeed an ancient booklet. If this was bought using 10,000 contribution points or less, Mo Wuji could simply throw it away in anger. But for a thing which costs 1,350,000 contribution points, he really couldn''t bear to throw it away. Mo Wuji relented and went back to study it. In half an incense''s time, he was drawn in. This definitely wasn''t some book of tips, this was the supreme method of handling poles, it could even be said to be the supreme method of handling elemental energy. Just like his Revolving Star Passage Technique''s Qiankun Upheaval which could shift a force in an instant, this pole technique could strike from unimaginable angles through various kinds of methods. In other words, you could clearly see the pole descending down towards your head, but just as the pole appears in front of your eyes, you would discover that the pole did not even exist; it was just a pole shadow. The real pole would strike you from some unfathomable angle. The Next Pole. So that''s the meaning behind its name. You would never know when my next pole would come from. You would always be guarding yourself against my next pole. No wonder why there weren¡¯t any specific means of attack, because even the Next Pole user himself would not know where the next pole would appear from. Mo Wuji''s heart pounded wildly. At this instant, the Nirvana Pole Shadow had already exceeded the Revolving Star Passage Technique¡¯s position in his heart. Even though the Revolving Star Passage Technique was a sacred art, it was incomplete. On the other hand, the Nirvana Pole Shadow was complete, and the Next Pole was a pole technique suited Mo Wuji''s taste. He did not like skills that told you to move step-by-step. Those moves could be anticipated and tracked. However, this Next Pole was simply untraceable. As long a he could understand the methods of using elemental energy from this skill book, he would be the Next Pole user. ... At the same time, in the Star King Mountain Star Lord Hall. A middle-aged man was ruminating on a chair at the center, there was an elder standing below him. This man was the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord Chi Tong. Even though there were several powers and factions in Star King Mountain, but as the Star Lord, no one dared to disrespect him. After some time, Chi Tong opened his eyes and asked, "You say that the Yan Clan Patriarch Yan Qiren and the Star Cloud Hall Master Yan Pingzhi have gone to the Universal Hall?" "Yes, Star Lord." The elder nodded to respond. "You think that Yan Qiren and Yan Pingzhi would appear in front of the crowd for a clan disciple?" Chi Tong asked calmly. The elder bowed and answered, "This old servant thinks, it''s definitely not possible. So this old servant went to investigate, Yan Yangdong had obtained Daoist Sanping''s legacy¡­" "Daoist Sanping" The originally calm Chi Tong suddenly stood up, repeating the elder''s sentence before recovering his countenance and slowly sitting back down. The elder responded, "That''s right. It''s the same Daoist Sanping who disappeared after obtaining a half moon key 1600 years ago. But Yan Yangdong''s Halberd Sunderer has nothing to do with Daoist Sanping. This matter was revealed from the Yan Clan itself. After Yan Yangdong perished, the Yan Clan searched through his immortal cave, then they discovered that he had succeeded Daoist Sanping¡¯s legacy." "That means that he has a half moon key on him?" Chi Tong''s eyes shown with blue light. The elder shook his head, "I''m afraid it''s more than that. After Yan Yangdong was killed, the Jing Clan was also investigated and it was found that he had at least 3 half moon keys on him. Besides the one from Daoist Sanping, there''s one from the Jing Clan, and another one the Jing Clan robbed from a rogue cultivator." "That means, after Yan Yangdong was killed, those three half moon keys ended up on that Mo Wuji who just entered the Universal Board?" As Chi Tong spoke, his brows were furrowed deeply. "That''s indeed the case. Now, the Yan Clan isn''t the only one cognisant of this fact. The Xia Clan, Mou Clan,various sects, as well as the Star King Mountain''s ten halls basically know of this matter." When the elder got here, he sighed, "That''s why everyone and every power are searching for Mo Wuji. Their excuse is that Mo Wuji had cheated 500,000 contribution points off the Xia Clan, betraying the Universal Hall¡¯s principle of trust. Now, reporting the whereabouts of Mo Wuji would garner a reward of 1,000,000 contribution points." Chapter 320: The Undefendable Blood Sword Chapter 320: The Undefendable Blood Sword Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Eh, what a group of hypocrites." Chi Tong sighed and turned his gaze to the entrance of the hall. It looked a little bleak. The elder bowed, "Star Lord, what should we do?" Chi Tong did not answer this elder''s question, but contemplated in silence. Only after some time, be retracted his gaze and said "I''m also a hypocrite. Go issue Star King Mountain''s wanted order." "Yes!" The elder responded and started to retreat out of the hall. "Wait." Just as the elder reached the entrance, Chi Tong suddenly called him back. "Don''t announce it under the Star King Mountain''s name. Do it under the 9th Hall, the Star Gazing Hall. Also, if Mo Wuji is discovered, or if anyone obtains the half moon key, they are to ensure his life. Being able to rank within the Universal Board at the True Lake Stage, he is definitely a genius of Zhen Mo Continent," Chi Tong said slowly. "Yes, Star Lord." The elder still responded without question. ¡­ "Heng, a bunch of shameless b*stards." In a room in the Universal Pier Hotel, even the honest Rong He was slamming the table in anger. Besides Pang Qi and Xiong Xingteng, Chu Qianlou was also present. Pang Qi bemoaned, "I never thought that the half moon key was actually a treasure used to open the doors to the Half Moon Immortal Palace. This time, I¡¯ve really swept Brother Mo into this, it''s truly¡­ Ai¡­" Chu Qianlou said, "You can''t be blamed for this. I''m afraid Mo Wuji still might not know what the half moon key is for. He probably wouldn''t even know why so many powers have listed him as wanted. So that''s why what we urgently need to do now, is to hurry inform him of this matter." Pang Qi and co. sank into silence. If the Yan Clan didn''t want to have a feast alone, the matters of the half moon keys and the Half Moon Immortal Palace might not even reach their ears. The half moon key had dwelled within the Pang Clan for countless years, but he only knew of its function today. "Shall we go into space to find Brother Mo?" Xiong Xingteng said. Chu Qianlou shook her head, "We''re not to make a single move. It might look like no one is looking for us, but the moment we enter the starry skies, we will immediately be stared at. Us finding Mo Wuji would be equivalent to helping others. And if we don''t find him, then we might die without a complete corpse." After speaking, Chu Qianlou paused for a moment, before continuing, "We''ll first join the Northern Star Army." But the Mou Clan is also looking for Brother Mo?" Pang Qi furrowed his brows and said. Chu Qianlou said coldly, "It would be weird if they weren''t able to find Wuji. However, the Northern Star Army is not completely under the Mou Clan. Only the Star Trace Army is controlled by the Mou Clan. We will continue living within the Northern Star Army, otherwise, we will be unaware of important matters and we would still eventually get affected." ¡­ In a small shack slightly far from Universal Pier, Yan''Er was sitting uneasily. "Sister Suting, do you think we should tell Mo Wuji about this?" Yan''Er finally thought of a puerile idea. Bei Suting shook her head, "Don''t do such childish things. We might not even be able to find him, and even if we do, it will be in vain. I will soon be able to break through into True God Stage Level 9, and I intend to find go into closed cultivation and charge into the Worldly Immortal Stage. You also need to take this time and cultivate. Wait till I become a Worldly Immortal, then we might be able to help him." "Senior apprentice sister Suting is right. Without power, we don''t have the rights to even speak. Gou Zihan and I decided to take part in the Star Wars. Only through the Star Wars, can we improve more rapidly." Feng Luojian¡¯s voice sounded from the door. Gou Zihan was standing behind him, the two were staring expectantly towards Bei Suting. In name, Bei Suting was their senior apprentice sister, but in reality, she was still the First Dean of Heaven Seeking Palace. Their cultivations were not considered high, so if they wanted to go to the Star Wars Battlefield, they needed the recognition from Bei Suting. Bei Suting stood up and nodded, "I agree. From today onwards, everyone will work hard to raise your cultivation. Whether it is for ourselves, or for the future of the Lost Continent, this is necessary." ¡­ At the beginning, Mo Wuji still remembered to control the direction his flying ship was going in. But half a month later, Mo Wuji was fully engrossed within the Nirvana Pole Shadow. From his initial feelings of betrayal, to his eventual glee, to his current completely immersion, Mo Wuji spent a total of half a month. The Nirvana Pole Shadow, in his eyes, wasn¡¯t some simple tricks, nor was it some simple method of utilising elemental energy. It was a broad and profound theory. Not only did this theory teach him how to utilise elemental energy, it allowed him to integrate it with his skills. Previously, he was like a explosive door. He held a vast sea of consciousness, and within his sea of consciousness was a violet elemental lake. Whenever he fought, he only know how to burst out with elemental energy. Thus, every time he struck out with his pole, the more elemental energy he used, the more powerful his strike would be. But now, he knew that true power wasn''t able how strong his strike was, but how effective his pole would be on his opponent. If his reversed Immortal Mortal Technique was a method to earn money, then this Nirvana Pole Shadow was the best method to spend money. A month passed. On this day, Mo Wuji suddenly stood up. He raised his hand and kept his flying ship. With one step, he entered into the starry space, the Tian Ji Pole in his hands was also whipped out. "Boom!" The violent elemental energy teared space apart. Boundless pole shadows filled the entire space, but Mo Wuji was staring the space behind the pole shadows. Suddenly, another burst of elemental energy exploded. This sudden explosion of elemental energy was exactly at where Mo Wuji was staring at. Mo Wuji forcefully shook his Tian Ji Pole in excitement. Unless his opponent was far stronger than him, he didn''t believe that anyone would know where his Next Pole would come from, or when it would appear. A flying ship whistled by not far from Mo Wuji. As Mo Wuji saw the rapidly departing flying ship, his heart suddenly surged with excitement. If he could find a place like the Thorny Wind Gate and cultivate into the True God Stage, who would dare challenge him? Before Mo Wuji could decide on where he would go, that ship which had already passed by suddenly flew back. The flying ship stopped not far from Mo Wuji. Opening the door, three people appeared within the flying ship: one male, two females. One of the two females looked cute and petite; she was actually a little girl. The other two looked like a couple. The man was tall and handsome, the woman looked gentle and calm. From Mo Wuji''s perspective, this man and woman were far above the True Lake Stage. They were even very close to the True God Stage. "Big brother, may I ask, have you lost your way? Why don''t you follow us, we''re on our way back to Universal Hall?" The little girl innocently stepped out of the flying ship, and within a few steps, she had arrived by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Mo Wuji did not dare relax because of the little girl''s words. Not only so, his heart was sounding with alarms. He had the example of the Poison Fairy to remind him, and the Poison Fairy looked even more innocent and innocuous than this little girl. Didn''t she also inflict him with a terrifying poison? Moreover, this little girl''s cultivation seemed to also be at the True Lake Stage. A petite little girl who didn''t look more than 10 years old, was already at the True Lake Stage. This was a little too fast, isn''t it? "Thanks, I¡¯m just hanging around here. You guys can carry on." Mo Wuji''s spiritual will swept towards the apparent couple, their eyes were filled with love as they looked at the little girl. Mo Wuji could not help but feel that he was looking at a two nutcases. "En, then I''ll go first¡­" The little girl flashed a cute smile before instantly turning around. At almost the same instant the girl turned around, Mo Wuji whipped out his Tian Ji Pole. The atisn Ko Pole smashed against this little girl''s skull, exploding a whole mist of blood. The moment the Tian Ji Pole appeared, that couple pounced towards Mo Wuji from the left and the right. Mo Wuji snorted and threw his entire body out. Blood spurted out of his chest, he was stabbed by a broken sword. Just a little bit further and it would have penetrated his heart. Unfortunately, his eyes and spiritual will wasn¡¯t able to see this broken sword. He could only feel the existence of the broken sword, which now seemed to be gradually disappearing. The little girl had already been killed by him, but he still didn¡¯t understand how she did it. If he didn¡¯t just learn the Next Pole, then he wouldn¡¯t even have killed the little girl at the same time as he retreated. That little girl was at least at True Lake Stage Level 9, or even an existence half a step into the Nihility God Stage. Before this girl died, she also didn¡¯t understand where did Mo Wuji¡¯s pole come from, or how it hit her. She didn¡¯t even see Mo Wuji swing his pole, but that pole had actually crushed her brains out. Before sinking into darkness, the little girl didn¡¯t continue dwelling on this matter. Didn¡¯t her broken blood sword also strike her enemy? In this world, anything can happen. Just like that sudden pole, or just like her blood sword. Mo Wuji stopped and swallowed a pill. He found the broken sword that pierced through his chest; it was a blood sword. This blood sword could be said to be form a poison. The user would only cultivate this skill for his entire life, fusing this skill together with his blood energy. The moment the blood energy seeped into the user¡¯s opponent¡¯s body, it would immediately form a broken blood sword. This sword didn¡¯t come from the outside, but burst out from the inside. Mo Wuji¡¯s 103 meridians rapidly went into reverse circulation. Since this blood energy was also a poison, his Detoxification Meridian would be able to handle it, albeit at a slower pace. "You even dared to kill a little girl who offered help, you emotionless beast! If we don¡¯t kill you today, then we aren¡¯t men¡­" The gentle woman raised her hand, a skeletal plum blossom bloomed and flew towards Mo Wuji. The man didn''t even speak, directly hurling his magic treasure towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn''t know whether this two were like the Poison Fairy and came from the Broken Sect. But after he got injured, he wasn''t intending to battle with them. A tiny breeze swept by him, and at the very next instant, Mo Wuji disappeared. "That''s the highest grade Wind Escape Technique," The man said towards the woman in shock. The woman stared at the direction Mo Wuji vanished and slowly said, "With this escape technique, the two of us aren''t enough to catch him. Let¡¯s send out the message that we tracked him. At least we earned that 1,000,000 contribution points." "Alright." The man nodded. Following which a blinding light sailed into the vast space. Chapter 321: Pursuing Mo Wuji Chapter 321: Pursuing Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks; his spiritual will no longer detected the pursuit of that couple. Even Mo Wuji himself could not sigh in amazement, his Wind Escape Technique was truly amazing. Even though this espace technique depleted a lot of elemental energy, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really mind. Not only did he have the vast violent elemental lake, he also had 103 meridians, 3 of which were Elemental Storage Channels. With such a vast elemental energy store, even if he consecutively used the Wind Escape Technique, it would not be of a great impact to him. The only thing now which confused Mo Wuji was, were those three people from the Broken Sect? Supposedly, he had already destroyed the imprint on him, so the Broken Sect shouldn¡¯t be able to track him. Mo Wuji soon chucked this thought aside. It didn¡¯t matter whether they were from the Broken Sect, the key thing he needed to do now was to find a place to cultivate. After roaring his round shaped flying ship into action, Mo Wuji took out his space positioning ball. He needed to determine his current location. He searched around for two whole hours but Mo Wuji still couldn¡¯t verify his location. In the Universal Hall, spatial positioning was relatively complete. However, a high grade space positioning ball was considered a strategic resource, so it was difficult to procure. The only way to get one would be through an auction, to bid for it at high prices. Even though the grade of Mo Wuji¡¯s space positioning ball was not low, it only contained the rough positioning of the various planets. He had already ventured out for more than a month, so it was expected that he couldn¡¯t determine his rough location. At this moment, two flying ships were rapidly approaching Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji immediately gave up on searching within the positioning ball and turned his attention towards these two flying ships. He soon discovered that these two ships were charging towards him. Unlike the previous ship, each of these ships only had one person. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will swept across them as he determined that they should be in the Nihility God Stage, so he decided not to run away. He was truly very curious; was it the Broken Sect or the Yan Clan who instigated this pursuit? Logically, the Yan Clan shouldn¡¯t be this powerful right? But the Broken Sect wouldn¡¯t do things so openly? At the very next moment, the flying ship in front had already raced to his front, while the flying ship at the back seemed to want to directly collide against his ship. Mo Wuji hurriedly shifted his flying ship. Just as he avoided that collision, someone jumped out from the first flying ship. That person didn¡¯t even keep his flying ship as he formed a radiant blade in his hand, shooting towards Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship. He didn¡¯t even say anything and just attacked? Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. Exactly which power was doing this? To fill this starry sky with so many interceptions? And at such fast intervals? Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s round shaped flying ship was not bad, it¡¯s defensive capabilities was merely average. Mo Wuji still had to depend on this round shaped flying ship in the future, so naturally, he would not let the other party¡¯s radiant blade hit his flying ship. As his opponent¡¯s radiant blade sailed through the space, Mo Wuji kept his flying ship, shooting multiple electroballs towards the oncoming cultivator. From Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, this fella was only at Nihility God Stage Level 2 or 3. A kid at the Nihility God Elementary Stage dared to attack him with such unscrupulous actions? This kid clearly wasn¡¯t putting Mo Wuji in his eyes. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji had to keep a lookout for the fella on the other flying ship, he would have directly pounced over to attack this kid. "Boom! Bam!" The multiple electroballs exploded, but they were avoided by this Nihility God Stage cultivator. This Nihility God Elementary Stage cultivator seemed to know that Mo Wuji had such hard-to-avoid electroballs, so at the instant Mo Wuji shot these electroballs out, he had already started moving away. Mo Wuji immediately knew that this men were not the from the Broken Sect. Even though the Broken Sect might be able to track him, they didn¡¯t know of his electroballs. These fellas must definitely be from the Yan Clan. He had truly underestimated the Yan Clan, their forces were actually so large that they could casually intercept him in space. "Ka! Ka! Ka!" Mo Wuji flashed out a long sword, slashing against the opponent¡¯s radiant blade. However, the radiant blade did not completely dissipate, but reformed again at another location, flying towards Mo Wuji¡¯s waist. Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body seemed to be like a leaf flying in the wind; it was swept up by the energy from the radiant blade, bearly brushing against the blade. From afar, it really looked like he was blown by the energy from blade. That Nihility God Elementary Stage cultivator was dumbfounded by Mo Wuji¡¯s actions. Only he knew exactly what Mo Wuji had done. Mo Wuji had used the Wind Escape Technique to avoid his radiant blade, but this was his first time seeing one it used in such a way. He had never seen someone display the Wind Escape Technique to such an extent, and to actually use it as a skill in battle. At this instant, his heart was burning with fervent fire. He definitely had to obtain this Wind Escape Technique. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji had honed to Wind Escape Technique to such an extent, he still didn¡¯t think much of Mo Wuji. It looked like Mo Wuji had easily dodged his radiant blade, but what comes afterwards? Mo Wuji had lost the initiative, and he would suppress Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was able to kill Yan Yangdong, so he had never intended to get rid of Mo Wuji was a single move. In the instant Mo Wuji floated away from the radiant blade, another one condensed within this Nihility God Elementary Stage cultivator¡¯s hands. It then transformed into a 30 meter long blade rainbow. The killing intent within the blade rainbow shrouded the entire space; Mo Wuji was right under this blade rainbow. Even Mo Wuji could not help but be impressed at his opponent¡¯s attainments in the blade. It was definitely superior to average cultivators. The cultivation world truly had many crouching tigers and hidden dragons, there were more experts than he could count. If he didn¡¯t have the Next Pole, he could only choose to retreat from this battle. It would be completely useless for him to entangle himself with this Nihility God Elementary Stage expert, because he wasn¡¯t able to kill him. The blade rainbow surged, blocking out the entire sky. Even the other Nihility God Stage cultivator was at a loss for words. When seeing this sort of attack, he could not help but be shamed. The blade rainbow started to shrink and concentrate, but before it could lock itself towards Mo Wuji, this Nihility God Elementary Stage cultivator suddenly felt like something was amiss. A sense of impending doom loomed over him. That''s impossible¡­ Mo Wuji was right within his palms, if Mo Wuji tried to sneak attack him, he would definitely be able to detect it at the very first moment. However, he did not feel that Mo Wuji had done anything. The only thing he felt was the sense of impending doom. Even though he clearly knew that if he sent his blade rainbow descending downwards, Mo Wuji would definitely be within his control, this Nihility God Elementary Stage cultivator didn''t dare gamble with his life. If he lost his life, even if he obtained all the riches in the world, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to spend them. The beautiful blade rainbow which previously rend through space had instantly dispersed. But before the Nihility God Elementary Stage cultivator could use the energy from the blade rainbow to protect himself, a violent burst of elemental energy exploded behind his skull. "Boom!" In that single breath of time, he sank into perennial darkness. Right at instant before he died, he only knew that he had been struck by a long pole, but he didn''t even know what angle that pole even came from to reach him. There weren''t even any ripples formed in the space around him so he had no means of knowing. His blade rainbow had yet to completely dissipate; this mist of blood within the rainbow seemed to be make it more beautiful. The other cultivator immediately stopped in his tracks. He even controlled his flying ship to reverse by a few meters as he stared at Mo Wuji from afar, his face trembling in shock. In one breath, he raised his hand and shot out a beam of bright light. The light beam sailed through space, it was incomparably eye-catching. He didn''t choose to fight Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji''s power left him cowering in fear. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji was merely in the True Lake Stage while he was in the Nihility God Stage, he didn''t dare to fight. Mo Wuji looked up and saw that coruscating light, his heart turned slightly cold. The light which the couple shot out was exactly the same. Mo Wuji stepped into his own flying ship; this Nihility God Stage cultivator did not choose to fight him so he didn''t intend to fight as well. The reason why the previous Nihility God was killed by him was because the Next Pole came completely unexpectedly. However, this cultivator had already seen what happened clearly. As long as this cultivator was careful, Mo Wuji guessed that it shouldn''t be possible to kill him within a short time. Since he couldn''t do that, then he had to hurry and make himself scarce. As Mo Wuji ignited his engines, he saw multiple ships racing over from the distance. Furthermore, one of those ships directly shot out a light beam, it was the same one as Mo Wuji had seen. Mo Wuji pushed his ship''s speed to the maximum, but he could still see flying ships pouring in from all directions, and all sorts of light beams were being shot into space. Against expectations, Mo Wuji was completely calm. He didn''t know who had such power, to actually be able to control so many cultivators to surround and intercept him in this vast space. But he knew that it definitely wasn''t the Yan Clan. If the Yan Clan was that amazing, then back at the Universal Hall, they didn''t even need to care about anything and just directly grab him. There was also another thing he was sure of, if he was surrounded, then he would be completely screwed. ¡­ Within the hall in the first floor of the Universal Pier, a black robed man with a red ribbon tied around his right wrist was standing without saying a word. In front of him, rows of cultivators were queuing up to get a radiant sword signal, before flying off to space from the third floor. His heart was frozen, he didn''t believe that anyone would be able to escape from such a terrifying pursuit. 5 of the 10 halls, the three great clans of Star King Mountain, multiple sects within Zhen Mo Continent, and even the Universal Hall were together in this movement. This radiant sword signal was distributed by the joint alliance of these powers. No matter who, even if they weren''t able to catch Mo Wuji, they would be able to get huge rewards if the shot out this radiant sword signal at where Mo Wuji appeared. This reward would be accorded in the order of who shot it first. That means that if you discovered Mo Wuji, you only needed to record down Mo Wuji''s location and fire out this signal and you would definitely be rewarded. The one who shot it earlier, would have greater rewards. Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger, under such pursuit, he definitely didn''t have any hope of survival. These rogues¡­ So many powers were cooperating to gang up against Mo Wuji, and they even had such an "amazing" reason that Mo Wuji had cheated 500,000 contribution points from the Xia Clan. Shameless people could truly do anything. Chapter 322: Obstruct and You Die Chapter 322: Obstruct and You Die Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The black robe man with a red ribbon on his wrist was indeed the Solitary Red Knot who helped Mo Wuji escaped the Universal Hall. Ever since his brother had been killed by the Universal Hall¡¯s enforcer and Xia Clan, Mo Wuji was considered to be the fella he admired the most. To dare act against an enforcer from the Enforcement Hall, this was the first guy he met after his brother. Furthermore, he felt that Mo Wuji was much more intellectual than his brother because at least Mo Wuji gave himself space and opportunity to turn the tides in his favor. Perhaps if he wanted revenge, Mo Wuji would be his best person to partner. However, the pity was that even before this partnership could be established, Mo Wuji already surrounded by such strong forces. Even if he was the one who was surrounded like that, he would have no chance of surviving. "I think it¡¯s a little too much? I mean 500,000 contribution points was indeed not little but to cause such a commotion¡­" "One look and I could tell that you know nothing at all, go and find out what is the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Those who went out to search for the 500,000 contribution points thief all had over a few millions contribution points themselves. Only you would believe such things." "I have no idea what the Half Moon Immortal Palace is but I know that the Single Horn Battlestage all along had a great reputation in the Universal Hall. Now that they were cheated off 500,000 contribution points, how can they just let it go? This wasn¡¯t about the 500,000 contribution points but the reputation of the Universal Hall itself so why would I not believe?" "I think I¡¯ve heard that, whoever can bring Mo Wuji back to the Xia Clan, they will reward 1000,000 contribution points and also recommend him to enter the Star King Mountain¡¯s Warring Star Hall. The person would also be given an opportunity to enter the to enter Xia Clan¡¯s secret domain to cultivate. ¡­ The Solitary Red Knot heard the discussions of the crowd and his heart turned even colder not only for Mo Wuji but himself too. Even the Star King Mountain was controlled by the three big clans so how would he have his chance to avenge his brother? He had even heard that the Stargazing Hall joined in and the Stargazing was under direct orders from the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Even the Star Lord had already made his move so why would there be any more pure land on the Star King Mountain? At this moment, a man wearing a golden robe walked down from the space and suspended in midair before shouting, "Fellow friends, I believe a lot of people recognise me so I will not hide the fact that I belonged to the Yan Clan. Back when Yan Yangdong and Mo Wuji were having their duel on the Deathmatch Battlestage, Yan Yangdong was plotted to death by Mo Wuji. I didn¡¯t think much about it because one could use any method to kill the opponent so even if Mo Wuji managed to kill him using dirty techniques, that¡¯s his capabilities and my Yan Clan would definitely not be after him because of this. But now, even if my Yan Clan was exterminated by Mo Wuji and was wrongly accused by everyone, my Yan Clan had to capture Mo Wuji and burn his bones to ashes. Does everyone know what kind of person was that Mo Wuji who just ascended the Universal Board? I don¡¯t know how to say it but perhaps everyone would understand when they look at this visual recording." The golden robe man waved his hand after he finished and a huge array display screen appeared in front of everyone. The display screen showed Mo Wuji standing in the universe and a flying ship stopped not too far away from him. There were three people on board the ship and everyone could guess that there should be a couple bringing a young girl. The girl was extremely cute as she jumped out of the ship and walked towards Mo Wuji with her parents watching her caringly. "Big brother, may I ask if you lost your way? Why don¡¯t you follow us because we are on our way back to the Universal Hall?" The innocent and naive young girl lifted her head and asked. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even look at that young girl as his face remained emotionless. The young girl saw that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t reply so she continued, "...Then I shall leave now¡­" After finishing, this girl turned around and walked off. At this same moment, Mo Wuji acted and smashed this little girl¡¯s head into pieces behind her back. After which was the devastating cry of the young girl and the recording ended. The golden robe man¡¯s eyes were filled with despair, "Does everyone understand why my Yan Clan had to kill him? He isn¡¯t human but an animal. That¡¯s right, this young girl was a disciple of my Yan Clan and it was a pity that she was so innocent and naive to go out with her parents to gain universe experience and was met with such tragedy. My Yan Clan shall vow that whoever could bring Mo Wuji back to the Yan Clan shall be granted the opportunity to cultivate freely in my Yan Clan¡¯s spirit jade pool. The remaining rewards would also be 10 times the reward now as well as the chance to enter the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Cloud Hall..." "Kill him now!" "B*stard, how could such a person still be alive?" "Kill¡­" "We won¡¯t be pleased till he¡¯s killed." ¡­ After the visual recording was released, more and more cultivators at the first level of the Universal Pier became enraged. Initially, there were already a lot of cultivators who retrieved the universal radiant sword signal but there were even more now. The moment this recording was released, there was an increased surge of cultivators who wanted to capture Mo Wuji in just half an incense¡¯s time. Out of the 10 big halls in the Star King Mountain, 8 had already joined and even more big sects were starting to join. Very soon, over tens of big or small sects who wanted to capture Mo Wuji had reached. Additionally, even very small sects and some family clans had joined the gang to capture Mo Wuji. The Solitary Red Knot let out a long sigh as he turned and walked out of the Universal Pier. He knew that Mo Wuji would certainly be meeting his doom. He had already done what he could but at this point, there was simply nothing he could do. His cultivation level might only be in Great Circle of the True Lake Stage but his true strength was not in terms of his cultivation level but his ability to disguise and create space portraits or visual recording. The tape that the golden robed man took out was indeed real but he could tell that there were traces of it being cut short. Even though he had no idea why Mo Wuji would act against a small girl, deep in his heart, he believed that Mo Wuji was not such a person. A person who was willing to act against the Universal Hall Enforcer for a friend naturally valued emotions and friendship hence, he didn¡¯t believe that a person like Mo Wuji would be so brutal. Moreover, he understood Yan Clan¡¯s meaning behind this which was to tell everyone to bring Mo Wuji to the Yan Clan after capturing him. Yan Clan was willing to reward so handsomely so as to tell those who captured Mo Wuji that even if they were to get the half moon key, they wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the Universal Hall so they might as well exchanged it with some valuable treasures instead. "Grandfather, this person is too brutal. I want to join the rest to enter the universe and kill this scumbag," At a corner of the Universal Pier, a young girl, who was about the same age as the girl in the visual recording, was enraged as she watched the tape with her fist clenched. Standing beside the young girl was an elder with a rickets back. The elder touched this girl¡¯s hair lovingly before saying, "Your grandfather is old, shall we head back first? We can come back when your cultivation level is higher." "Yes, I will definitely work hard to cultivate so that I would be able to kill that scumbag as soon as possible," The young girl said each word very clearly. The elder didn¡¯t reply the young girl but only thanked the continuous playing of the visual recording. Others might not recognise the young girl that Mo Wuji killed but he would never forget. This girl was called the Hell¡¯s Angel and even though she looked like a young child, she was already over hundred years old. Because this woman specialised in using the fresh blood of young, immature girls in addition to her extraordinary technique, she was able to maintain her 10 years old girl appearance. This technique allowed one to extend her youth but the only drawback would be that the cultivation progress would be extremely slow. Over 200 years ago, his daughter was sucked dry of her blood by this demon. Even though this Hell¡¯s Angel looked different every time she appeared, he would never forget her demeanour movement as it would forever be etched deep in his heart. The Hell¡¯s Angel cultivated a type of blood aura sword and coupled with her looks of a small girl, an average person would not be able to escape her clutches. Back then, he was indeed shot by the blood aura sword and if not for San Yisheng¡¯s aid, he would have cease to live on this world. He knew that the scariest thing about this young girl was not her methods of killing someone but her method of escaping. He was unable to help avenge his daughter hence, was extremely thankful for Mo Wuji¡¯s help to kill her. In actual fact, he still had no idea how Mo Wuji was able to kill this Hell¡¯s Angel. This was because this Hell¡¯s Angel only needed a split moment to escape. Additionally, the Hell¡¯s Angel had an incredibly powerful force backing her. As much as he was appreciative of Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t dare to tell her granddaughter the truth. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship speed was already at its limit but he soon realised that he had a decreasing amount of space to escape. It was like everyone in this universe knew that he was escaping so all of them came to chase after his head. There were countless of radiant sword signals being sent out every moment and a continuous flow of people appeared in front of him to obstruct him. If he continued to escape with his flying ship any further, he would soon be trapped and with nowhere to run anymore Mo Wuji was always very straightforward and direct so he would do things the moment he thought of it. He immediately kept his flying ship and his entire body assimilated into the wind and escape out of the crowd like a space shadow. "He is using the Wind Escape Technique¡­" Those after Mo Wuji didn¡¯t take very long to recognise his technique. In less than half an incense worth of time, there were radiant sword signals shooting out into the universe again. The brilliant radiance and positioning of the flying ship made everyone charged towards Mo Wuji. The majority of people here knew that they wouldn¡¯t receive much credit even when Mo Wuji was eventually captured. However, the eight big halls of the Star King Mountain, 19 big sects of the Zhen Mo Continent and the countless smaller sects had already announced to reward those who participate in trapping Mo Wuji. Whether the reward was big or small, it was dependent on how effective or useful each individual was in trapping Mo Wuji. Even if you didn¡¯t make any attack, you would be making a contribution just by standing there to block his way. With his Tian Ji Pole tightly in his hand, Mo Wuji knew that he might not be 100% sure that he could escape all these with his Wind Escape Technique. His Wind Escape Technique was not that strong to be able to bring him out of the vast universe in one move and everyone here was out to catch him so anywhere he appeared, signals would be sent out. Two True Lake Stage cultivators and one Nihility God Stage cultivator saw the appearance of Mo Wuji and signalled to each other immediately before charging towards Mo Wuji simultaneously. Their eyes were filled with excitement just like a shark smelling the scent of blood. The trio knew clearly that as long as the three of them could exchange one blow with Mo Wuji face to face, even if Mo Wuji managed to escape, they would still be rewarded handsomely. "Kill!" Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was enshrouded with killing intent as he charged towards the three people who were also charging at him. He need not feel hesitant since everyone around him wanted to capture him. Presently, there were only four words in his heart, Obstruct and you die. Chapter 323: Exchange it With Your Lives Chapter 323: Exchange it With Your Lives Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he whipped out his Tian Ji Pole, Mo Wuji was only facing the Nihility God Stage cultivator and he didn¡¯t even take a glance at the two True Lake Stage cultivators. A fierce, murderous looking Mo Wuji begun his charge towards him. The Nihility God Stage cultivator grinned as he held his Thousand-layered Gong and charged towards Mo Wuji too, "I will hold him back, kill¡­" "Bang! Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Flash went up against this Nihility God Stage cultivator¡¯s Thousand-layered Gong as an intense explosion of elemental energy continuously exploded in space. This Nihility God Stage cultivator could feel a surge of elemental energy, which was certainly not any weaker than his own, coming back at him which made his heart turned cold. No wonder he could kill Yan Yangdong because his strength was simply unbelievable for his cultivation level. Wait, didn¡¯t he use a steel pole just now? How did it become a series of exploding lightning? "Boom! Boom" Two continuous blood fog appeared and this Nihility God Stage cultivator¡¯s body gave a violent shudder. There was suddenly an indescribable fear in his heart and this fear was actually towards a True Lake Stage cultivator which made him extremely embarrassed. Previously, the rod was clearly directed at him yet it landed on his two partners instead. Moreover, during this period of time, he didn¡¯t feel any elemental change of the surrounding air. What ability is this? At this moment if he still didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji had already planned to kill the two cultivators first, he was really an idiot. Mo Wuji had long planned to kill the two True Lake Stage first before fighting him seriously. The pole shadow instantly killed two elementary True Lake Stage cultivators yet Mo Wuji maintained his serious face. The killing intent around his body was even sharper as his Tian Ji Pole struck again, this time towards the Nihility God Stage cultivator. "Dang dang dang!" This Nihility God Stage cultivator could not hide but could only use his Thousand-layered Gong to fend off Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole forcefully. Waves after waves of insane elemental energy gushed over and it made this Nihility God Stage cultivator furious at himself because he was after all still in the Nihility God Stage, how could he be afraid of a True Lake Stage? After he eradicated his fear from his heart, the Thousand-layered Gong turned into an illusionary Gong shadow covering the sky and locking Mo Wuji as its target. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole acted like it split up because wherever the opponent¡¯s Gong Shadow was, the Tian Ji Pole would always seemed to be able to strike the heart of the gong. Initially, Mo Wuji was still worried that his pole technique might not be sufficient but afterwards, he was totally indulged in the carefree swaying of the pole. The Tian Ji Pole in his hands was almost like another life. He was able to use the most simple method, most frugal amount of elemental energy to sway his Tian Ji Pole. He felt like he wasn¡¯t in a battle but creating art on a piece of white paper. Perhaps, this was the true essence of the Nirvana Pole Shadow. Under the effects of the Nirvana Pole Shadow, the opponent¡¯s technique was almost like a toddler learning how to walk. "Bang bang bang¡­" Elemental energy was exploding in the universe continuously and Mo Wuji was fighting with even greater ease while the opponent seemed like he was trap within his pole technique, unable to help himself. As long as he caught hold of the opportunity, Mo Wuji would be able to catch the opponent off guard and strike him where he was the most vulnerable. So what if he was in the Nihility God Stage? Mo Wuji was still able to use a pole technique to trap him. However, this Nihility God Stage cultivator, who was fighting Mo Wuji, was feeling more fearful as the fight dragged on. At the start, his Thousand-layered Gong Shadow was still able to completely enveloped Mo Wuji and he thought that Mo Wuji would be bounded by him as time passed. But now, the one bounded was himself and as time passed, the space he could control was getting smaller and smaller. It was like an invisible hand that was trying to grab tighter onto him. "Hurry up and leave," The moment this thought developed, it extended and spread across his mind like a wild vine. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the moment he made his decision to leave, he was already a dead man. Once the Nirvana Pole Shadow was executed, it would not miss even the smallest of space. The next moment, the Tian Ji Pole broke his defence and pierced through his forehead just like a long lethal sword. This was neither Mo Wuji¡¯s first time killing a Nihility God Stage nor his last time killing one so his heart didn¡¯t feel anything. Presently, he was just standing in the universe, staring at the increasing number of cultivators surrounding him. The time he spent killing the two True Lake Stage cultivators and the Nihility God Stage cultivator was not too long. However, in this short period of time, he was already surrounded everywhere as more beams of universal signal sword radiance was shot out and more individuals started to join the crowd. Initially, Mo Wuji was resolute on escaping no matter what however, he had calmed himself down and there was only dense killing intent in his heart. In fact, it wasn''t just too long ago that he depended on a pole technique to kill a Nihility God Stage cultivator. "Mo Wuji, I used to admire you for being able to ascend the Universal Board despite being only at True Lake Stage and I thought you were a true warrior. However, I¡¯ve misjudged you because not only did you not hold any regards for the laws of the Universal Hall, you actually acted against an innocent, young girl. I, Xue Jiuyang, swear that if I didn¡¯t kill you and avenge the little girl, I would stop cultivating for the rest of my life. Everyone help me control the array as I must personally kill this animal¡­" A man filled with beard said as he rushed out of the crowd and charged towards Mo Wuji. This Xue Jiuyang, fella said his piece so gloriously as if he wanted to finish Mo Wuji personally. However, at the moment he charged towards Mo Wuji. there were already over hundreds of cultivators charging over. Help Xue Jiuyang hold the array? Who did he think he was? Mo Wuji was like a treasure chest and everyone wanted to kill him so much so that even landing a strike on him would be an honourable act. To be able to kill a cultivator ranked on the Universal Board, could you guess how big an honour it would be? Injuring a scumbag who killed a small girl mercilessly, how big a glory would one receive? As long as one could kill Mo Wuji, he would be removing harm for all the cultivators, gaining recognition for the Universal Hall and getting fame for oneself. Only idiots would let this opportunity slip away after knowing the benefits of killing or injuring Mo Wuji. Behind the hundreds of cultivators charging towards him were another few hundred more but Mo Wuji chose to shut his eyes and at that moment, his heart was at peace. It was just like the time he was at his research lab as he was only focused on his Channel Opening Solution with no sound and nobody around to disturb or interrupt him. Even if a few million more people were to charge at him now, he was still alone at this moment. Tranquility could only be achieved in an indescribable realm and at this moment, a mad amount of killing intent was constantly emitted from Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t choose to continue escaping because he knew that it would be extremely difficult if he were to depend on his Wind Escape Technique to escape the mass surrounding from all four directions. The moment he appeared, someone would sent out the signal so no matter how strong his elemental energy was, there would still be the moment he would exhaust all of it. He lifted his leg and took a step forward. When his first step landed successfully, the Boundless Lightning Rain covered the entire sky and fell on his enemies. His Tian Ji Pole also turned into a pole shadow as it was swung against them. After his Nirvana Pole Shadow killed the Nihility God Stage cultivator, it reached yet another sublimation and every strike if the pole shadow managed to emit a fierce killing intent. "Kill!" The same moment Mo Wuji charged towards the crowd of cultivators, his killing intent completely expanded outwards. As the lightning bolts fell, those enemies below the True Lake Stage were all struck by these lightning bolts and very few survived. After the True Lake Stage cultivators were struck by the lightning bolts, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole seemed to have came to life by backing up the lightning bolt with another strike of the pole. Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body and the Tian Ji Pole had already merged into one to kill a lot of enemies under the aid of Boundless Lightning Rain. No matter who or how many people wanted his life, they had to exchange it with their lives. As he took away a person¡¯s life, countless of attacks would land on his body simultaneously. Even though his Revolving Star Passage Technique had already reached the Zhuan Stage, his injuries were still accumulating. The more people he killed, there would be even more injuries on Mo Wuji¡¯s body and his heart would be even heavier too. Out of those that were surrounding him, there were almost no True God Stage cultivators around and most of them were True Lake, Nihility God and even some below Yuan Dan Stage. Only these low level cultivators would be scurrying everywhere in space waiting for their opportunity to strike. For the stronger True God Stage cultivators, they would come over immediately after they locked their target. Now that he was this target, just because there were no True God Stage experts yet didn¡¯t mean there would not be any True God Stage experts coming over later. If a Worldly Immortal were to arrive, he might not be able to make his move before being killed. "This man is inhumane and vicious, his elemental energy would eventually have a limit. Let¡¯s work harder and kill him together¡­" Within the crowd, a Nihility God Stage cultivator was struck on the head by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning and cried out instantly. "Bang!" Just as he finished this sentence, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole had already struck the back of the cultivator¡¯s head from a bizarre and unexpected angle. Even though this cultivator was killed, his words were put to effect as even more cultivators came charging forward at him and Mo Wuji finally felt the strain. He wasn¡¯t a god but only a True Lake Stage. No matter how strong his violet elemental energy lake was, it belonged only to the True Lake Stage only. Some experts in the elementary stage of the True God Stage just arrived, only made one move and was able to create two more blood holes in his chest and broke a few more bones in his body. Mo Wuji, who¡¯s entire body was covered in blood and several broken bones, suddenly let out a devastating cry like a wolf¡¯s howl. If he were to die today, Mo Wuji had to find a bunch of scapegoats. The Scholar¡¯s Heart was swaying slightly in his sea of consciousness and it¡¯s insane temperature was about to explode out. He knew that he was still unable to use his Scholar¡¯s Heart to kill because if he were to release the Scholar¡¯s Heart completely without fear, the Scholar¡¯s Heart might eventually returned to the wild before covering the sky and behave bestially. Everyone here, including himself, would disintegrate into ashes under the rage of this Scholar¡¯s Heart. Some experts in the advanced stage of the Nihility God Stage could feel the threat from Mo Wuji¡¯s body as they subconsciously took a few steps back. Mo Wuji¡¯s glare turned ice cold and even some experts in the elementary stage of the True God Stage who just arrived here could feel their imminent death from Mo Wuji¡¯s glare. They initially wanted to capture Mo Wuji and leave but now that Mo Wuji was emitting such terrifying aura, even they were a little hesitant now. Chapter 324: That Is Love Chapter 324: That Is Love Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When even the True God Stage experts were subconsciously taking a few steps backwards, the cultivators in the lower level obviously wouldn¡¯t dare to step forward as they all took a step back. Cultivators would always have an intuition in front of death. Mo Wuji, who¡¯s entire body was filled with wounds, emitted out a determined aura and at this moment, other than using his Scholar¡¯s Heart to annihilate everyone here, including himself, he had no other ways to get himself out of here. Mo Wuji¡¯s surrounding started to open up and the countless of cultivators in space were evidently shocked as they saw this piece of open land. At the same moment, the universe started to act crazily and as Mo Wuji lifted his head curiously, a familiar voice was heard, "Don¡¯t move, just follow me¡­" Cen Shuyin? Mo Wuji immediately knew who was the one who came as he stopped swinging his Tian Ji Pole. Just as he was about to shoot out his Scholar¡¯s Heart, he stopped just in time as well because if he were to shoot out his Scholar¡¯s Heart, Cen Shuyin might not be able to escape as well. Following which, the insane wind carried his body up and rushed out of this suspicious open space. "Someone used the Wind Escape Technique to bring him away¡­" A cultivator reacted in time as he shouted out to everyone. "Chase, using the Wind Escape Technique would be hard even for one person to escape here, let alone two people." ¡­ The remaining cultivators didn¡¯t even speak as they simply followed to chase after them. Didn¡¯t Mo Wuji knew how to use the Wind Escape Technique too? He was still trapped and had to eventually fight for his life. So what if it was the Wind Escape Technique? In the face of enemies¡¯ attack from all four directions in space, even the Wind Escape Technique was not formidable. A familiar gentleness and fragrant made Mo Wuji¡¯s heart warm. When he was surrounded and faced with such terrifying danger in space, only Cen Shuyin would still risk her life to come and save him. "It¡¯s pointless. You should let me go and then escape yourself first. After your wind technique was completed, just remember to avenge me," Mo Wuji sighed because even if he used his Wind Escape Technique, he wasn¡¯t able to escape. Cen Shuyin¡¯s Wind Escape Technique was slightly weaker than Mo Wuji so it would be even harder for them to escape. Indeed, just as Mo Wuji finished his sentence, a few signalling flying swords were shot out by two people not too far away and the shadows of a few cultivators were soon rushing towards them. Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t bother replying Mo Wuji and was only focused on escaping. What made Mo Wuji shocked was that Cen Shuyin¡¯s Wind Escape Technique was cast upon fierce wind and was nothing compared to his light wind. It was simply at the end of two extremes. Logically speaking because Cen Shuyin was a girl, her Wind Escape Technique should be more gentle than his. In the next moment, Mo Wuji could feel the intermediate level heat emitted from Cen Shuyin¡¯s skin and he immediately knew what was going on, "Sister Shuyin, let me down immediately. If we carry on like this, none of us will be able to get away at all." Cen Shuyin was burning her life to ignite the Wind Escape Technique which explained the crazy surge of wind. This could be related to her cultivating her Typhoon Formula. Typhoon Formula, one could tell that this was definitely not a gentle technique just by listening to its name. Cen Shuyin¡¯s smooth voice did turned coarse and dry but her words were like from the other universe, evidently ethereal and calm, "When I was young, I had a wonderfully complete family. My father and mother loved me dearly and at that time, I felt like the most fortunate person alive. Back then, I was only 6 years old and someone came to my house. After he laid his sight on my mother, he never left. Afterwards, he had a long conversation with my father in the room and not long later, my father came out to talk to my mother¡­" Cen Shuyin was like an outsider narrating a story to Mo Wuji with her warm, calm and slightly disappointed voice, "My mother then nodded to my father and even though she said that I was young, I should know the truth. My father agreed and my mother brought me to my room and said¡­" Cen Shuyin paused for a moment and a sword radiance pierced through the space and was headed towards Cen Shuyin¡¯s back. Mo Wuji managed to struggle and shifted his body while supporting himself with his elemental energy. This sword radiance pierced through Mo Wuji¡¯s back instead and Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood, onto Cen Shuyin¡¯s shoulder. However, under the support of Mo Wuji¡¯s great elemental energy, the sword radiance disappeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s body and didn¡¯t touch Cen Shuyin. Cen Shuyin¡¯s body trembled a little as her body temperature continued to increase which caused the surrounding wind to be even greater, increasing their speed. Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin had sped up the burning of her life and he didn¡¯t continue persuading Cen Shuyin because he knew it was all too late to say anything. If he was able to survive this crisis, he would never let the True God Stage cultivator who tried to attack her from the back off, no matter who he was. "My mother told me, if I want to marry someone one day, I cannot trust the other party¡¯s sweet talks. I had to make sure how many things the person I¡¯m marrying could give me¡­" Mo Wuji kept silent because he knew that before Cen Shuyin started cultivating, she should be from the mortal world. When mortals got married, they naturally had to look at the betrothal gift. "My mother said, if he was a prince, he had to at least make me his legitimate wife. If he was a businessman, he had to at least put half his assets under my name¡­ I was young and clueless so I asked my mother, what if he was an ordinary person like my father? My mother smiled mournfully and she said that my father would immediately not be an ordinary person anymore and he would immediately turn into a wealthy aristocrat. She suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed her own chest as I cried out for my mother. My mother used her hand to wipe my tears before saying: Yinyin, what I¡¯ve just said was wrong. No matter who he was, if he couldn¡¯t sacrifice his life for you when you needed help, you must not marry him no matter what he has. Remember to never marry such a person¡­ If there was a person who was willing to sacrifice his life for you, remember well that when he needs help, you have to sacrifice your life too...That is love¡­ If you¡¯re not marrying the person, remember to never take advantage of a person, not even a little. Listen to your mother, your mother will be leaving now¡­" Mo Wuji remained speechless because he had just heard a depressing, heart wrenching story. A man actually gave his wife away for honour and riches. His wife had a strong will to rather die than agree to such a dirty transaction. This is a true scumbag and this scumbag was actually Cen Shuyin¡¯s father. The reason Cen Shuyin was all along focused on cultivation and was never interested in a romantic relationship could perhaps be because of her own experience. As for Cen Shuyin¡¯s habit of not taking advantage of people, was probably influenced by her mother too. At this moment, Mo Wuji heard someone shouting from his back, "They¡¯re escaping to the Extreme Frost Sea, hurry up and block them¡­" Extreme Frost Sea? Mo Wuji shivered as he had heard of this place before. It was a place similar to the Piercing Wind Gate, one of the Nine Extreme Realms. Mo Wuji immediately understood why Cen Shuyin was willing to burn her life to increase the speed of the Wind Escape Technique. She had planned from the start to escape into the Extreme Frost Sea. Mo Wuji scanned the surrounding using his spiritual will and instantly saw an eye-catching aperture shining brightly in front of himself. Before Mo Wuji could ask anything, Cen Shuyin had already brought him into the aperture. Following which, waves of bones piercing coldness spread across his entire body and in a split second, his flesh started to show scars. This coldness was actually not any warmer than the coldness he experienced back when he was retrieving the Immeasurable Soul-forging Flower. Mo Wuji hurried to use his spiritual circulation technique but this didn¡¯t stop his body from slowly tearing apart. He instantly sent his Scholar¡¯s Heart into spiritual circulation and indeed, he could just barely withstand the extreme coldness. Cen Shuyin was still running non-stop and Mo Wuji hurried to shout out, "Senior apprentice Shuyin, you can stop for now." Mo Wuji was confident that even though Cen Shuyin possessed ice attributes spirit roots, she couldn¡¯t hold on for any much longer in this coldness. Cen Shuyin stopped but it wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji asked her to but because she fell down. Mo Wuji flipped his body over and hugged Cen Shuyin so that his body¡¯s warmth would be transferred over to her. Cen Shuyin¡¯s face turned pale and her hair had already turned white as she stared at Mo Wuji with her warm eyes, "It¡¯s okay, I know I¡¯ve reached my limit. I also know that you definitely would have your way to survive here, I was indeed right¡­" "Senior apprentice sister Shuyin, I will definitely save you¡­" Mo Wuji popped a few pills into Cen Shuyin¡¯s mouth. Cen Shuyin blocked his mouth just as he was about to continue speaking, "...Wuji, actually, I didn¡¯t listen to my mother and I took advantage of you¡­ My flying car should never be worth your Lightning Flash and I was just lying to myself and everyone else¡­ Also, it wasn¡¯t my heartfelt truth when I said that you aren¡¯t the Rogue Cultivator 2705 that day. I know that you are him¡­" Mo Wuji looked at Cen Shuyin¡¯s state and his heart felt horrible because whatever methods he used now, he would have no way of saving Cen Shuyin. Back then when Cen Shuyin said ¡®You are not him¡¯, he didn¡¯t feel much but now that Cen Shuyin said ¡®I know that you are him¡¯, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart felt like it was smashed broken. That feeling of having a severely wounded heart was felt by Mo Wuji once again. "...I know the relationship between Yan¡¯Er and yourself. You are willing to risk your life to save your female servant and enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain when you¡¯re only in the Channel Opening Stage¡­ I knew from then that you and my father were two different types of people¡­ when you knew that I had a lot of enemies in the Piercing Wind City¡­ to risk your life to save me¡­ you are the only one¡­ you are the one my mother told me about, someone whom I liked so much I could sacrifice my life for¡­ However, I could only love one person because my heart is too small so I can¡¯t and I won¡¯t fight with another girl for a guy, regardless who he was...Now is good¡­ I don¡¯t have to go against my own will¡­" "I really wanted to know how it feels to have a dao companion¡­ My mother said, that is love¡­ Wuji, is this true¡­" Cen Shuyin slowly reached out her hand to feel Mo Wuji¡¯s cheek but before her hand could touch him, it fell to the ground. Following this, her head fell from Mo Wuji¡¯s arms to the side, breathless. Two teardrops fell from Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes onto Cen Shuyin¡¯s face and Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold. Compared to himself, Cen Shuyin was the one who led a miserable life and had never known how it felt to be loved. He gently grabbed Cen Shuyin¡¯s icy cold body and placed it on his face as he knew that Cen Shuyin had really fallen this time round. Even if the white bearded fishing elder were to be here, he might not be able to revive her again. Chapter 325: Raging Fire in His Chest Chapter 325: Raging Fire in His Chest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji lowered his head to look at Cen Shuyin¡¯s pale face and even though she had burnt her life away, it wasn¡¯t enough to hide her stunning beauty. After being stabbed in his back by the woman he loved, Mo Wuji thought that it would be extremely hard for him to fall in love again. Even if it was Yan¡¯Er, he was sure it wasn¡¯t love in the romantic way and it was at most a type of trust and family affection. Yan¡¯Er was the only girl who didn¡¯t give up on him and was willing to give up everything for him when he was at his lowest. He once thought that, whether or not he was able to cultivate, as long as he was together with Yan¡¯Er, he would eventually end up falling in love with her. Until one day, he decided to give up his life to head towards the Five Elements Desolate Domain to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Flower so that he could pass Yan¡¯Er and the flower to Granny Linglong. From that day on, he knew that Yan¡¯Er had became a treasure of his memory, the closest person to his heart. The moment he let go of Yan¡¯Er, he knew that Yan¡¯Er would have nothing to do with him anymore and he also swore that in the future, Yan¡¯er would live her life for herself and not for Mo Wuji. Even though he couldn¡¯t bear and even tried to remind Yan¡¯Er of her past, he slowly accepted the truth when Yan¡¯Er rejected him. But today, his still heart was actually moved by Cen Shuyin. For a six years old to lose both her parents and her mother killed herself in front of her while her despicable father left her, how could her childhood be any worse? Even though he had no idea how she made it into the Immeasurable Learning Palace, Mo Wuji could imagine how deeply etched the words of her mother would be in her six years old¡¯s heart. Seemed like deep within her heart, she wasn¡¯t like her external appearance, cold and calm. Regardless which world he was in, the thing one couldn¡¯t retrieve would be regret. If he could turn back time, if Shuyin wanted the Lightning Flash, he would have given it to her immediately. Why would he even ask for the magic flying car? Even as Mo Wuji continuously sent in elemental energy, Cen Shuyin¡¯s body still grew colder and colder. Mo Wuji hugged Cen Shuyin tight as he grabbed her closer to his body which was filled with the Scholar¡¯s Heart heat. In such a terrifyingly cold place, the moment he let go, Cen Shuyin would be disintegrated by the cold. No matter what happened, he would never let Cen Shuyin¡¯s body disappear. What he owed her was not just his life, but a love that he could not repay. Mo Wuji hugged Cen Shuyin and stood up slowly as the broken bones in his body was swiftly recovering because of the flowing of his elemental energy. He raised his head and looked at the vast and boundless zone of extreme frost just like the ocean as waves and waves of ice waves from faraway looked stunningly beautiful. Mo Wuji knew that beyond the waves would be even more terrifying coldness. If not for his Scholar¡¯s Heart, perhaps even a True God Stage expert would face imminent death here. As for a Worldly Immortal expert, he might not even survive long in the depth of the Extreme Frost Sea. Mo Wuji let out a long sigh before spitting out the burning flame as he hugged Cen Shuyin and entered the depth of the Extreme Frost Sea. If he couldn¡¯t escape, he shall stay in the depth of the Extreme Frost Sea with Cen Shuyin. If he could escape one day, he would definitely get back at those who took his blood. ¡­ Mo Wuji was like a crazy man rushing into the depths of the Extreme Frost Sea. His Scholar¡¯s Heart surrounding him had already became like a layer of shield but even so, he could still feel the bone piercing coldness in his bones. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about all these as Mo Wuji used almost 80% of the Scholar¡¯s Heart hear to protect Cen Shuyin¡¯s body while he constantly circulate the elemental energy in his 103 meridians. He was cultivating as well as running at the same time. Continuous running was the only way to go! There was only this scary coldness from the Extreme Frost Sea! I could only cultivate endlessly! Only these thoughts could calm his raging heart because if he couldn¡¯t control himself, he would rush out to kill everyone but he knew that it was simply impossible. Even if he had laser guns, the moment he exited, he would have been killed by experts before he could take out his laser guns. This was the difference in strength and he was simply helpless against this difference. "Boom!" A surge of spiritual energy rushed over and directly merged together with Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual circulation technique as the elemental energy around himself suddenly increased tremendously. Mo Wuji had almost no resistance as he advanced straight into the True Lake Stage Level 5. "Argh!" Mo Wuji came to a halt and he acted like a lone wolf, roaring his lungs out towards the sky in the middle of the vast and boundless Extreme Frost Sea. There was a surge of coldness and a surge of flame in his heart. Only after a short while did Mo Wuji stopped his roar. He lowered his head and looked at his legs because this was the place where he could feel an extremely dense spiritual energy which made him advanced to True Lake Stage Level 5 in an instant. Mo Wuji took out his Tian Ji Pole and struck against the ground. An oppressive sound could be heard and there was not even a single crack on the white layer of ice underneath his foot. Over the thousand of years, any softer thing would have disintegrated into a void because of the coldness. Those that were left behind were the accumulation of ice. Perhaps if he used his Scholar¡¯s Heart to burn, he could burn a hole here. However, Mo Wuji definitely dare not touch his Scholar¡¯s Heart because that was the thing that was protecting Cen Shuyin¡¯s body. The moment he took the Scholar¡¯s Heart away, Cen Shuyin¡¯s body might vanish from this extremely cold place. Mo Wuji kept his Tian Ji Pole and started setting up defensive array around this place. The defensive array was not for himself but to defend Cen Shuyin¡¯s body. As long as he continued circulating his 103 meridians with a slight trace of Scholar¡¯s Heart continuing its spiritual circulation, he would not face any life threatening harm. He would at most suffer some tearing of the skin but Mo Wuji was already numbed to such pain. This was the depth of the Extreme Frost Sea so even an expert of the True God Stage might not make it this far in without the aid of the Scholar¡¯s Heart as well as the circulation of over 100 meridians. The moment the defensive array was set up, Mo Wuji took out a huge pile of jade to help Cen Shuyin refined a jade coffin. Following which, Mo Wuji placed Cen Shuyin in the middle of the defensive array as he even crafted out all sorts of defensive ban on the coffin itself. Even the Scholar¡¯s Heart was temporarily placed on top of the jade coffin. After preparing this, he engraved an inscription on the jade coffin which showed, ¡®Wife Cen Shuyin¡¯s coffin, erected by Mo Wuji¡¯. ¡­ The once extremely bustling Universal Hall had finally recovered its original state after a year had passed since the incident of trying to catch Mo Wuji. Despite there were still some people who refused to give up and still head towards one of the Nine Extreme Realm, Extreme Frost Sea, to take a look but everyone knew that Mo Wuji was definitely not be able to come out alive. There had not been a case where a True Lake Stage cultivator entered the Extreme Frost Sea and came out alive. It was still impossible no matter how talented Mo Wuji was to make it onto the Universal Board. The truth was that ever since Mo Wuji entered the Extreme Frost Sea for a month, his name had already fallen off the Universal Board. There were currently no more Mo Wuji on the Universal Board. The genius that once caused such an uproar and commotion had long been obliterated from the crowd¡¯s discussion. ¡­ Star King Mountain¡¯s Yan Clan. Ever since the incident one year ago when Yan Yangdong was killed, this was the second time the Yan Clan held such a solemn clan¡¯s meeting. To be specific, this was to welcome a Yan Clan¡¯s Grand-elder out from his closed doors cultivation. Yan Tongqu was the first generation experts of the Yan Clan, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2. Even though Yan Tongqu was not the strongest in the Yan Clan and was in fact even slightly weaker than Yan Pingzhi, Yan Tongqu was the Yan Clan¡¯s only water attributed Worldly Immortal expert. "Ka ka!" In the Yan Clan¡¯s strongest spiritual energy place, an immortal cave was opened up. After an incense worth of time, a skinny man walked out of it. He nodded at the two disciples at the entrance of the immortal cave before suddenly appearing in the Yan Clan¡¯s discussion hall in just one step. Everyone in the hall stood up immediately including the highest cultivation level grand-elder, Yan Yang. Yan Tongqu bowed to everyone before walking to the second seat from the left to sit down, "I¡¯ve already been made known of the incident and I¡¯m willing to go to the Extreme Frost Sea. Yan Qiren sighed and said, "The coldness in the Extreme Frost Sea was simply too terrifying and Mo Wuji¡¯s body would have disintegrated by now. To be able to find the three half moon keys there would not be so simple. Elder Tongqu¡¯s closed door cultivations came to naught and because he has not stepped into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, I am strongly against Elder Tongqu to head towards the Extreme Frost Sea alone." Everyone was clear that even though the water spiritual root and the ice spiritual root were from the same source, their difference were still almost as vast as the distance between heaven and earth. Perhaps the water spiritual root would be more suitable to enter the Extreme Frost Sea than the other attributes but there would certainly be a limit to how much cold he could withstand. "Ugh, it¡¯s a pity my Yan Clan didn¡¯t have a higher cultivation expert with a water spiritual roots. Otherwise, why would we need Elder Tongqu to risk his life?" Another elder sighed out loud. Yan Pingzhi, who was by the side, sounded out, "Even though we say that the risk is huge for Elder Tongqu to go to the Extreme Frost Sea, this was an opportunity for the Yan Clan. If my Yan Clan was able to find the three half moon keys, no need for three, if we could find just one half moon key, our Yan Clan would not fall even after passing down to our descendants for over a thousand of years. If my Yan Clan could produce an Earthly Immortal because of this, it would not be completely impossible for us to stay in the Star King Mountain. Yet another Yan Clan¡¯s elder stood up and said, "Xia Clan, Mou Clan and even some other sects have already sent people into the Extreme Frost Sea and their purpose would be to find the half moon keys. This half moon keys originally belonged to my Yan Clan so if my Yan Clan didn¡¯t enter as well, we would simply be making the wedding dress for the others. [1]" The crowd were all discussing and it was a difficult choice to make now so the first Grand-elder Yan Yang waved his hand to stop all discussion before saying, "Tongqu¡¯s cultivation was still slightly too low, let me go over instead." Yan Tongqu was kept in closed doors for 200 years and Yan Clan was preparing to let him out as a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 expert. A Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 expert with his water attribute spiritual roots was definitely considered to be qualified to enter the Extreme Frost Sea. Who would have thought Yan Tongqu was not hardworking enough and after cultivating gor so long behind closed doors, he was only a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2 expert when he came out. Yan Tongqu took the initiative as he stood up and said, "No matter what, the first Grand-elder must not go to the Extreme Frost Sea. The First Grand-elder is the Yan Clan¡¯s stabilizing force and if anything were to happen to him, it would be hard to predict what would happen next. I have enough opportunity to advance with not alot of years left so I would be the most suitable to enter the Extreme Frost Sea." [1]: ¡®Making the wedding dress for others¡¯ is the direct translation from the raw and this means doing all the work for others but not actually benefiting from it Chapter 326: Worldly Immortal Lightning Calamity Chapter 326: Worldly Immortal Lightning Calamity Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though Yan Qiren didn''t fully agree with Yan Tongqu going to the Extreme Frost Sea, but he was helpless on the matter, thus he could only say, "How¡¯s Yangnan¡¯s cultivation? This time, the Star King Mountain is fostering the next heir to the Star Lord. My Yan Clan might not be the biggest, but if Yangnan can push himself, he should be much better than that Xia Clan''s Xia Mu." "Answering the Patriarch. Ever since Yangdong had been killed by Mo Wuji on the Deathmatch Battlestage, Yangnan had cultivating in the spiritual jade pool. He vowed that if he didn''t help take revenge for his bigger brother, he is not a man. One month ago, he just broke through into the True Lake Stage." A Yan Clan deacon stood up and answered. Hearing that Yan Yangnan had advanced into the True Lake Stage, even Yan Pingzhi nodded his head. Yan Yangnan had specially entered the spiritual jade pool 1 year ago. During this time, he had advanced from the Yuan Dan Elementary Stage to the True Lake Stage, which was already pretty amazing. ¡­ "Boom!" A bolt of lightning sent tremors to seemingly the entire Zhen Mo Continent. After this lightning exploded, boundless spiritual energy started to surge violently towards a certain location. Someone was undergoing tribulation! Such a strong Lightning Calamity definitely wasn''t a simple ascension into the True God Stage. Within the Star Lord Hall, a grey figure flashed out, landing on the peak of the Star Lord Mountain, overlooking the place where the tribulation was taking place. The Lightning Calamity got increasingly dense, descending down in huge strikes. Spiritual energy was also flooding towards the Lightning Calamity like a whirlpool. "Could it be that some sect has a person advancing into the Worldly Immortal Stage?" Star Lord Chi Tong observed for a moment, before furrowing his brows and muttering to himself. This Lightning Calamity was staggering, it was at least a Seven-Nine Lightning Calamity. Ostensibly, the person undergoing tribulation wasn''t simply advancing to be a True God, but a Worldly Immortal which stood on top of the world. In the Zhen Mo Continent, almost all the Worldly Immortals were from the Star King Mountain. The rest were either from the three great clans, or some sects with a strong background. And now, the tribulation wasn''t over some sect, nor over the three great clans, but some remote wilderness. Could it be a rogue cultivator? Such a talented rogue cultivator, why didn''t he join the Star King Mountain? At almost the shortest time possible, every clan and sect, including the Star King Mountain''s various halls had sent people over to the tribulation lands. A rogue Worldly Immortal, who''s eyes wouldn''t turn red at that? If they could get this rogue cultivator to join their ranks, their power would definitely rise by more than a single level. Moreover, the Half Moon Immortal Palace was going to open, so a huge battle was bound to happen. With an additional Worldly Immortal, their foundations would be a lot stronger Don''t think that there were many Worldly Immortals in Zhen Mo Continent. In fact, there weren¡¯t actually a lot. Even in the three great clans, each clan only had around 5 to 6 experts in the Worldly Immortal Stage and above. ¡­ The person currently facing the Lightning Calamity was the Heaven Seeking Palace''s Bei Suting. There was only one person protecting her - Yan''Er. Even though Yan''Er¡¯s cultivation speed to meteoric, she was still only in True Lake Stage Level 9. Now with so many experts coming over, she was slightly at a loss for words. "This little girl, is the senior undergoing tribulation your master?" A heroic-looking and pretty woman landed by Yan¡¯Er¡¯s side; when she spoke, she sounded like a friendly neighborhood big sister. Yan''Er shook her head, "No, she''s my senior apprentice sister¡­" "Boom¡­" At this instant, the final lightning descended. Bei Suting''s body exuded with white brilliance. That lightning bolt barely broke through that white brilliance before waning down. Bei Suting had successfully passed through the tribulation. With her greatest speed, she grabbed a set of clothes, put on a veil and landed beside Yan¡¯Er. "Star King Mountain''s Mou Zhong greets this dao friend. Congratulations dao friend on ascending to become a Worldly Immortal and attaining your own Grand Dao." "True Martial Dock¡¯s You Ying greets dao friend. Congratulations dao friend on advancing into the Worldly Immortal Stage¡­" Bei Suting had just succeeded her tribulation, and many people came over to pay their compliments and invited Bei Suting over to be their guest. Bei Suting hurriedly said, "Many thanks various dao friends. My junior apprentice sister and I have some business to attend to. If we''re free in the future, we''ll definitely visit." "Sister Suting, congratulations." Yan''Er was overjoyed as she walked over. Bei Suting had advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage. Even though she wasn''t the strongest person here, she had the ability to protect herself. Even the three big clans couldn''t do much towards a Worldly Immortal. "Could you be Senior Suting who came over from the Lost Continent?" The heroic-looking woman that previously spoke with Yan¡¯Er had already recognised Bei Suting and asked eagerly. Bei Suting nodded, "That''s right. I''m the Bei Suting who came from the Lost Continent. May I ask who this junior is?" The heroic-looking woman hurriedly said, "I¡¯m the Star Sea Hall''s Shu Xuanyu. Before I came, I was instructed by the Hall Master, if senior is willing, you can immediately be an elder at the Star Sea Hall." Seeing that Bei Suting was about to leave, Shu Xuanyu did not beat around the bush and immediately extended an invitation. Bei Suting laughed gently, "Many thanks Junior Xuanyu for your invitation. As a person rejected by the Star King Mountain, I truly don''t intend to go to the Star King Mountain." Shu Xuanyu''s mouth went agape. She didn''t know what was appropriate for her to say. She was cognizant of Bei Suting''s situation. Honestly, not only Bei Suting, a majority of the people from the Lost Continent qualified to enter the Star King Mountain. But because of the Xia Clan''s Xia Mu¡¯s prejudice towards Bei Suting, coupled with Bei Suting''s complete ignorance of him, resulted in the Xia Can prohibiting Bei Suting from entering the Star King Mountain. Even a majority of the Lost Continent talents were implicated. If they wanted to join the Star King Mountain, they needed to earn their way through battle in the Star Wars. Otherwise, they had to choose to join the Xia Clan. Since these people were brought from the Lost Continent by the Xia Clan, the ten halls and the other clans weren''t willing to offend the Xia Clan for them. Now that Bei Suting had advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage, she no longer had any interest with the Star King Mountain. That''s also logical, as a Worldly Immortal, the help that the Star King Mountain could offer was truly limited." "As long as senior wants, you can always come to my Star Sea Hall." Since Bei Suting had already rejected her, Shu Xuanyu could only beat around the bush with some courtesies. She couldn''t say that the Star Sea Hall was part of the Star King Mountain, but weren''t aligned with the Star King Mountain, right? Even though the ten halls and the Star Lord were different powers, this matter wasn''t really public knowledge. From an external perspective, the Star King Mountain was the Star King Mountain, and the ten halls were part of the Star King Mountain. "Many thanks. Everyone, we''ll now take our leave." Bei Suting clasped her fists, holding Yan¡¯Er beside her, she disappeared in an instant. The crowd had failed in inviting Bei Suting, and could only disperse in their separate ways. ¡­ "Yan''Er, you know anything about Mo Wuji?" On the flying ship, Bei Suting asked Yan''Er this serious question. Yan''Er nodded. Even though the two didn''t especially went to look out for Mo Wuji''s news, ever since they left the Universal Hall, rumours on Mo Wuji were numerous. Mo Wuji had flouted the Universal Hall''s rules, then he murdered an innocent little girl. This had incited the rage of the crowd, and he had been forced into one of the Nine Extreme Realms - the Extreme Frost Sea. What happened to him thereafter was unknown. "Then you still want to recover your memories? If you change your mind, I intend to bring you to the Stars Wars Battlefield to temper yourself," Bei Suting raised this topic again. Yan''Er calmly said, "Sister Suting, over this past year, I have been thinking about this for a long time. Even if Brother Mo had changed, I still need a full set of memories." Cultivating till now, Yan''Er had long understood the true meaning of cultivation. Choosing to ignore and forget would not help bring her closer to the Grand Dao. Even if you have forgotten your memories, or you choose to ignore it, you couldn''t deny that it had happened. If it happened, then it happened. Just because you felt that it didn''t happen didn''t mean that it didn''t happen. Regardless of how she viewed Mo Wuji after she regained her memories, she needed to recover her memories for the sake of her own dao. What Mo Wuji had done previously, she could feel grateful, she could choose to remember, but she couldn''t choose to forget. It¡¯s true that Mo Wuji did not hesitate to cruelly murder an innocent girl, but that shouldn''t be the previous him. People would eventually change; Mo Wuji, her, Sister Suting¡­ Wasn''t everyone slowly changing? Previously, Sister Suting said that she would go to the Star Wars Battlefield to earn some contribution points then enter the Star King Mountain. Eventually, they didn''t go take part in the Star Wars, but chose to cultivate in the Zhen Mo Continent. After ascending into the Worldly Immortal Stage, Sister Suting no longer wanted to enter the Star King Mountain. Wasn''t this also a change? "Alright, then we''ll go to the Valley of the Immortal Doctor and find San Yisheng and request for his help." Bei Suting nodded his head, activated the flying ship and sped away. ¡­ Deep in the Extreme Frost Sea, Mo Wuji seemed to completely merged within the frosty waves. At this instant, he was a part of the Extreme Frost Sea. Over this one year of cultivation, he had advanced from True Lake Stage Level 5 to True Lake Stage Level 11. Spiritual energy violent surged outwards, leaving behind a calmness in its wake. "Boom!" The icy space around Mo Wuji suddenly emitted with waves of tremors. The elemental energy within Mo Wuji¡¯s body seemed to have found a new opening, directly perforating a new meridian. As his 104th meridian got perforated, Mo Wuji stepped into True Lake Stage Level 12. Mo Wuji was still calm and silent. He had finally opened his 104th meridian; this meridian was the Breath Scattering Channel. With this channel, he could blend into any environment at any instant. After a year of cultivation, he had already blended in together with the frost waves around him. Now with his breath scattering channel, he was even more fully integrated into his surroundings. If not for that strand of Scholar''s Heart circulating within his meridians, even if a Worldly Immortal came, the Worldly Immortal might not be able to discover him with spiritual will. 104 meridians simultaneously started reverse circulation. Without any other living things obstructing his cultivation, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation was very swift. In merely a month''s time, all the meridians in Mo Wuji¡¯s body started threshing around, as though it was being struck by waves. "Boom!" The shackles of True Lake Level 12 had been shattered. With the surging force of his elemental energy, Mo Wuji had broke through the True Lake Stage, advancing into Nihility God Stage Level 1. His sea of consciousness expanded by multiple folds, his spiritual will became increasingly sensitive in this extreme cold. Following this, Mo Wuji could feel that there were many more people here in the Extreme Frost Sea. Chapter 327: Take Revenge For My Wife Chapter 327: Take Revenge For My Wife Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations For an extreme realm which didn''t have any treasures like the Extreme Frost Sea, except for a few ice-affinity spiritual roots cultivators, few would come here. However, a whole group of people had actually arrived. As he recalled what happened one year ago, when he was pursued to such an extent, even if Mo Wuji was retarded, he knew that this definitely wouldn''t due to the individual strengths of the Broken Sect or the Yan Clan. It should be because he had obtained some treasure. Before he ventured into space, he killed Yan Yangdong on the Deathmatch Battlestage. If it was a treasure, he must have obtained it from Yan Yangdong. If his guess was right, these people must be here for those half moon keys. One year ago, those people must have been chasing him for those half moon keys. However, these people were pretentious and hypocritical, they couldn''t publicly claim that they were robbing him of the half moon keys, and had to find an excuse. Mo Wuji coldly snorted and stood up. Previously, his energy had completely synergized with the icy cold energy of the Extreme Frost Sea. Even if a Worldly Immortal brushed by him, the Worldly Immortal might not be able to find him concealed in the frosty waves. However, he did not intend to hide from these fellas. The fire in his heart had already burnt for over a year, and during this whole time, he desperately wanted to go out and kill himself a river of blood. Now that people had come to the Extreme Frost Sea to find him, if he let them go, he wouldn''t be Mo Wuji. Whether it was due to his own hatred, or for revenge for Shuyin, he would start to settle this debt. He turned towards the Extreme Frost Seaside, killing intent flooded into his eyes. These fellas who could come here definitely weren''t weak. They were at least in the Great Circle of True God Stage, or even the Worldly Immortal Stage If this was in outer space, he would have let it go. But now, the Extreme Frost Sea was his territory. Since they had come, then they will stay here forever. Mo Wuji took out his best array flag and started to prepare a wild spiritual swirling array. For an array like the spiritual swirling array, besides Chu Xingzi - this bored master array master who was willing to research on it, few others would bother installing this useless array. This magical array only had one function, that was to suck all the surrounding spiritual energy over, to form a whirlpool. But this whirlpool was destructive and it wasn''t suitable for cultivation. Two hours later, Mo Wuji had prepared the spiritual swirling area, and he left behind an inscription with a strand of Scholar¡¯s Heart within the array. Then, he hurriedly left, hugging Cen Shuyin''s jade coffin. When he reached a few miles away from the spiritual swirling array, Mo Wuji placed Cen Shuyin down and fetched out a laser cannon. He had seen the destructive power of the laser cannon. He was sure that the laser cannon was not a treasure used to deal with Worldly Immortals, but things more powerful than Worldly Immortals. As for the ammunition, even if he had the smithing formula, a master smith might not even be able to forge it. The cannon was powerful, but it had a flaw. The installation took too slow. If he was fighting an expert, before he could fetch his laser cannon out, that expert might have already eliminated him. After properly framing the laser cannon, Mo Wuji took out an ammunition shell and stuffed it in. Then, he waited. He had cultivated in the Extreme Frost Sea for over a year and had opened the breath scattering channel. Not even a half bit of his breath could be heard. A few minutes later, Mo Wuji''s spiritual swirling array was activated. The boundless spiritual energy of the Extreme Frost Sea transformed into a destructive whirlpool, violently surging towards the array core. Actually, at the same time as when Mo Wuji detected that he had visitors at the Extreme Frost Sea, the Worldly Immortal experts also detected a few hints of life deep within the Extreme Frost Sea. Even though they had been here for quite some time, they weren''t like Mo Wuji who had integrated into the frosty waves for over a year. After all, Mo Wuji had been cultivating here, and he had been cultivating with his own modified cultivation technique. His main aim was to blend himself with the surrounding icy cold spiritual energy. One, this was to defend himself the cold. Two, this could increase his cultivating speed On the other hand, these people were only here to find something. They used their techniques merely to defend themselves against the biting cold. Thus, their sensitivity in this Extreme Frost Sea was naturally far from Mo Wuji. So even though they detected Mo Wuji''s life energy, they weren''t able to connect it to anything at the first moment. In the Extreme Frost Sea, their spiritual will was largely limited, and they weren''t able to scan at Mo Wuji who was hidden deep on the Extreme Frost Sea. If anyone said that Mo Wuji was cultivating deep in the Extreme Frost Sea, none of the Worldly Immortals here would believe it. Even though they didn''t know what exuded that life energy, these Worldly Immortals still chose to slowly approach in Mo Wuji''s direction. When Mo Wuji''s spiritual swirling array activated, horrifying spiritual energy came whirling over. These Worldly Immortals no longer moved slowly. Almost all of them flashed into a shadow, charging in the direction of the spiritual swirling array. "Boom!" The first one to arrive was a red-faced Worldly Immortal. He did not even hesitate as he punched out, destroying the outer shield of the array. "Xia Guangyuan, everyone came here together, it''s not good for you to enjoy this feast alone¡­" At the back of this red faced expert, multiple shadows also came racing over. "Eh!" The red faced Worldly Immortal called Xia Guangyuan didn¡¯t immediately charge in after destroying the array. Instead, he spotted a stone inscription and cried out in exclamation. "There''s a strand of flame energy of the Scholar''s Heart¡­" One of the Worldly Immortals following at the back uttered. Scholar''s Heart! Everyone''s hearts started beating with desire. If they could obtain the Scholar''s Heart, won''t their powers increase by more than a fold? Even though they knew that there was the Scholar¡¯s Heart below this stone inscription, no one dared to recklessly charge over. As a Worldly Immortal, they knew clearly how powerful the Scholar''s Heart was. Once they triggered the Scholar''s Heart, even if it was a Worldly Immortal, they couldn¡¯t leave till they had completely refined it. Moreover, each of them wasn¡¯t here alone; there were six Worldly Immortals altogether, and they all wanted the Scholar¡¯s Heart. "This place seemed to contain the traces of an array. Who would place the Scholar''s Heart here?" Yan Tongqu asked doubtfully. "Wait, there are some words. They''re a little blurry¡­ It says: From today onwards, I will slowly kill all you dogs, to take revenge for my wife¡­" One of the Worldly Immortals from the Star King Mountain read the words and shook his head, it was true when they say that the ignorant truly didn''t know fear. There were six Worldly Immortals here, and someone actually carved such foolish words for them to read. The other Worldly Immortal experts also followed him and shook their heads. That''s not right. At almost the same instant, the six Worldly Immortals reacted. These carven words of revenge, coupled with the fact that the array traces were still fresh, meant only one thing. That fella with the half moon keys was still alive. Mo Wuji was actually still alive. Ecstasy flashed within the six¡¯s eyes. At this moment, some recalled that besides the half moon keys, Mo Wuji also had the Scholar''s Heart. To think that Mo Wuji wanted to use the Scholar''s Heart to plot against them... From afar, Mo Wuji turned to the jade coffin beside him and muttered, "Shuyin, see how I help you collect some interest." When he finished that sentence, he pressed with his friend, firing off the laser cannon. A blinding white light caused the six people to pause speechlessly. At this moment, they couldn''t even see what was ahead of them clearly, but they could clearly feel the oncoming enshroudment of death. Not good. The six Worldly Immortals reacted at almost the same time, as they all tried to retreat. As Worldly Immortals, even though they didn''t know what the danger was, they would still choose to escape first. At the very next instant, a force which seemed capable of extinguishing the heavens could be seen. What on earth is that terrifying thing? This idea only barely flashed through their heads. "Boom!" An explosion which seemed capable of ripping the heavens and earths devoured the six within. A gigantic ice crater formed at where the six were not long ago. The frosty waves around the area were completely razed to the ground. Mo Wuji kept his laser cannon, hugging Cen Shuyin''s jade coffin, he calmly walked over. The six Worldly Immortals had been shot by the laser cannon. Their skeletons had long been decimated, and even not even a shadow of their storage rings were left behind. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered about those six Worldly Immortals he killed. He was only staring blankly at the gigantic ice crater in front of him. This was exploded out due to his laser cannon. Dense spiritual energy exuded from the crater, leaving Mo Wuji a little breathless. Mo Wuji stared downwards in shock, what sort of place was this? Previously when he was cultivating, he could already feel the boundless spiritual energy. But now after his laser cannon destroyed this place, the spiritual energy was actually more staggering. His 104 meridians simultaneously started reverse circulating. What they liked most was spiritual energy. The richer the spiritual energy, the faster his cultivation. Mo Wuji hesitated for a brief moment, before jumping straight into the gigantic ice crater. Minutes later, Mo Wuji was completely stupefied. In front of him, were rocks which shone with spiritual brilliance. The suffocating spiritual energy he felt, was emitted from this rocks. He actually recognised these things. These weren''t spirit stones, nor spirit veins, but spirit piths. In front of him, it wasn''t a mere spirit pith pool, but a spirit pith mountain. Mo Wuji lightly caressed the jade coffin beside him. Even in the after world, Shuyin was still blessing him, allowing him to find this cultivation Utopia. ¡­ Universal Pier was always the most crowded place in the Universal Hall. Cultivators would come here to accept missions, form groups to go into space, or head up to the second floor to exchange for items they needed. But today, cultivators were forming their own small groups, engaging in their own discussion. "Did you know? Recently, six Worldly Immortals perished in one of the Nine Extreme Realms, the Extreme Frost Sea." A yellow robed cultivator said with an exaggerated expression. "Stop bullsh*ting. It''s true that the Extreme Frost Sea is one of the Nine Extreme Realms, but for a Worldly Immortal, if they didn''t stay there for long, it definitely wouldn''t be life threatening¡­" "Keke, it''s fine if you don''t believe me, but my source is definitely reliable. Let me tell you, if it wasn''t for the Star Lord who restrained the three great clans and some experts, perhaps¡­" The yellow robed cultivator saw a few cultivators from the Star King Mountain, and promptly decided to shut his mouth. "What he says is true. I heard that a few Worldly Immortals had fallen in the Extreme Frost Sea. The Extreme Frost Sea seems to be more dangerous than before. Let me tell you ah, Yan Clan''s Senior Yan Tongqu who just emerged from closed doors, went to the Extreme Frost Sea and never came back," Another cultivator said hushedly. Chapter 328: You Are My Life Chapter 328: You Are My Life Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The matter of the six Worldly Immortals perishing in the Extreme Frost Sea was originally a hushed discussion among groups of cultivators, but soon, it had already become a public secret. Almost everyone knew that six Worldly Immortals had died, and one of them was even an expert at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5. Eventually, someone even spread the news that these six experts had gone to the Extreme Frost Sea to find that rogue cultivator called Mo Wuji. As to why they wanted to find Mo Wuji, many of the cultivators were aware of the reason. Anyone that could mix within the Universal Hall definitely wasn''t a fool. ¡­ Bei Suting and Yan''Er stared at the bare mountain valley in front of them, and they even suspected whether this was truly the Valley of the Immortal Doctor. Even if it was a rogue cultivator, he wouldn''t build his immortal cave here right? Here, besides yellow sand, there were only crushed rocks. Even though it''s called a valley, it actually seemed more like the Gobi Desert. "Heaven Seeking Palace''s Bei Suting has come to pay respects. Is Immortal Doctor San here?" Bei Suting said whilst clasping her fists towards the Valley of the Immortal Doctor. Even though San Yisheng wasn''t a Worldly Immortal, he was a highly revered existence in entire Zhen Mo Continent. Some might say that his temper was weird, but he would extend his hand to save a mortal''s life. Others might say that he was kind and compassionate, but he set down a rule that unless they encountered him on the outside, those that visit him at the Valley of the Immortal Doctor for help must at least be a Worldly Immortal. The Zhen Mo was so huge, and San Yisheng didn''t leave his valley regularly, so how difficult would it be to encounter him on the outside? As for being a Worldly Immortal, even in the Zhen Mo Continent, how many could reach that stage? Moreover, even if it was a Worldly Immortal who came to visit, he would only help once. This would mean that if San Yisheng agreed to save Yan''Er this time around, he would no longer help Bei Suting the next time she came to pay respects. "My master welcomes you. Two dao friends, please enter." A child came out to greet them, and spoke with a respectful tone. "Many thanks." Bei Suting brought Yan''Er and followed this child into the desolate Valley of the Immortal Doctor. It was already bad that the exterior was desolate, the interior not the Valley was incomparably desolate. If not for the fact that they knew San Yisheng was here, Bei Suting and Yan''Er might have thought that they were trekking in the desolate wilderness. After walking for a whole incense of time, Bei Suting and Yan''Er finally saw two huge gates. Among the two gates, one was a black stone gate, the other was a white stone gate. Bei Suting only hesitated momentarily, before bringing Yan''Er to enter through the black stone gate. Inside, there was a stone room which was a few meters wide. Within the stone room, there was a long bearded man sitted on a yellow stone stool reading a book. In front of his stone stool, there was a stone table. And opposite the stone table, there was another stone stool. Even though she knew San Yisheng''s cultivation was below hers, Bei Suting still stopped and clasped her fists, "Heaven Seeking Palace''s Bei Suting greets Immortal Doctor San." The long bearded man put down the book scroll in his hands and chuckled, "Those who visit are my guests. Come, please take a seat." After he said that, his gaze landed on Yan''Er, "You¡¯re here to seek treatment right? Come sit in front of me." Without any conditions, without any questions, he directly offered Yan¡¯Er a diagnosis. This caused both Yan''Er and Bei Suting to heave a sigh of relief. The two were afraid that San Yisheng might raise too many conditions that they wouldn''t even be able to uphold. "Yes." Yan''Er bowed, walked over to the stone stool opposite San Yisheng and sat down. "Place your wrist on the stone table." San Yisheng gestured to the stone table in front of him. Yan''Er lifted her arm and placed her wrist on the stone table. San Yisheng didn''t measure her pulse, but placed his two arms around the stone table and held it tightly, and at the same time, he closed his eyes. After some time, San Yisheng opened his eyes and nodded towards Yan''Er, "You gained fortune from disaster, obtaining mutated wood-affinity spiritual roots. This type of spiritual roots are even rarer than unique roots like Wind, Ice and Lightning. If I''m not wrong, you should also be a pill refiner right?" Yan''Er hurriedly answered, "Yes. Junior followed her master to learn cultivation and pill refining. It''s just that I¡¯m not very talented, I''m barely a Tier 4 pill refiner." San Yisheng laughed gently, "You spend 90% of your time on cultivation, and only 10% of Pill refining. Still, you managed to become a Tier 4 pill refiner in a short period of time. In terms of alchemy, your talent is the best I''ve seen. What''s your name?" "Junior has no name, I¡¯m only addressed at Yan¡¯Er." Yan''Er replied respectfully. San Yisheng suddenly said, "Do you have any interest in being my disciple?" Yan''Er stood, bowing once more, "Junior already has a master, I don''t dare casually have another one." "Ai. Pity." San Yisheng sighed and continued, "Because the person who treated you was limited in his capabilities, all your memories before you cultivated have vanished. You have come to me to seek treatment, it''s should be because you wish to recover your memories right?" Yan''Er eagerly said, "Yes, junior wishes to find her memories. Senior, please help fulfil this wish." San Yisheng shook his head. Yan''Er heart tightened, "Senior Immortal Doctor, could it be that my memories can never be recovered?" San Yisheng laughed proudly, "To a charlatan, wanting to recover your memories would be akin to seeing a flower through a fog. But to me, San Yisheng, finding your memories is as simple as drinking water or breathing air¡­" Joy immediately emerged within Yan''Er''s eyes, but before she could ask anything, San Yisheng continued speaking, "If you''re willing to listen to me, I would suggest that you don''t search for your memories. Recovering your memories will not do you any good." Yan''Er said resolutely, "Junior has already made up her mind. If senior can help junior recover her memories, please help. Junior will be immensely grateful." San Yisheng softly said, "For a pill refiner, even if his achievements in the pill dao is high, it would be hard for him to recover your memories. But I don''t merely cultivate the pill dao, I also research on the medical dao. You should consider once more, do you want to be my disciple?" Yan''Er determinedly replied, "Senior, many thanks for your appreciation. But junior''s heart is firm, junior will not take another master." San Yisheng¡¯s suggestion was rejected twice in a row, he no longer gave any advice but said, "From the ripples in your pulse, I can feel that there is an incredibly important person deep in your memories, this person could even be said to be your life. Once you recover your memories, it might adversely influence your cultivation. If that person is kind and compassionate, then it would be fine. But if that person had done you harm, then you would be shackled by this past, forever unable to progress, and you might even end your own life. After hearing all this, you still insist on your idea?" Yan''Er let out a self-deprecating laugh, she knew who San Yisheng was talking about. Even though she knew he was extremely important in her memories, but would such a devious man who could murder an innocent little girl be her life? Bei Suting saw Yan''Er''s self mockery and she said by the side, "Immortal Doctor San, please carry on. She will be fine." Before seeing that visual recording, she might have believed San Yisheng''s words. Because Mo Wuji could ignore his own safety, to venture into the Five Elements Desolate Domain just for his female slave. Even though she wasn''t a recipient of his act, she would also remember it. This sort of thing was not even a deed of legends, much less reality. However, that visual recording had filled their hearts with indignation. Bei Suting and Yan''Er became sure that some things were merely hearsay. Even Granny Linglong''s recount of Mo Wuji''s selflessness was only hearsay. Mo Wuji cruelly murdered a little girl who extended an invitation to him. Even though she had a favourable impression of Mo Wuji, she couldn''t help but feel infuriated with his actions. Thus, like Yan''Er, she did not believe that such a person could actually be Yan''Er''s life as San Yisheng had said. But what they saw, was not what happened. Albeit Yan''Er or Bei Suting, they didn''t have the same sort of experience as the Solitary Red Knot. San Yisheng continued looking at Yan''Er; only if Yan''Er herself agreed, then he would act. Yan''Er nodded, "Senior, please treat me." "Alright." After San Yisheng obtained Yan''Er''s response, he only said a single word. He lifted his hand and multiple white threads shot out. These threads seemed to pierce through Yan''Er''s brain, but they also seemed like they were revolving around Yan¡¯Er¡¯s head. San Yisheng continuously displayed hand seals, and after an incense''s time, he coldly ordered, "Open your mouth." Yan''Er subconsciously opened her mouth, a green pill entered in it. When the pill entered her mouth, it was like it melted into a thick ice strips, instantly freezing her brain. Another hour passed. San Yisheng''s two hands moved rapidly to form increasingly complicated hand seals. Yan''Er cried out in agony. Bei Suting subconsciously stood up. Immediately, she saw that the white threads on Yan''Er''s head had gradually turn black, then they were slowly brought by San Yisheng to one side. ¡­ Yan''Er seemed to have entered a long, long dream. She dreamt of the old master''s death and her young master''s gradual loss of his mind in his attempt to retake his prefecture. Every night, she would go out to set up the night stand, and she would earn some copper coins which she would use to buy food for the young master. If she had excess copper coins, she would go to buy some cheap sweats for her young master''s game. She dreamt of herself waiting for her young master to sleep, then she would add water to the bowl her young master ate from, and she would drink it, she would not waste even a single bit of food. She dreamt that her young master had suddenly turned better. That day, her young master didn''t eat that bowl of rice without a care in the world as usual. Instead, he put down his bowl and found the rotten, hard, black bun which she hid under her pillow. That day, her young master grabbed her rough hands and said, "Yan''Er, in the future, if big brother gets to eat, you wouldn''t starve too¡­ Listen to big brother, from now on, big brother will take care of you¡­" That day, her young master''s eyes were a little red. Ever since that day, she was the luckiest girl in the world. Her young master brought her shopping, he brought her to find work¡­ All till she was taken away by that evil woman¡­ To find her, her young master, despite being a mere mortal, sailed across the vast Tian Luo Sea. He finally found her at Chang Luo City¡­ To heal her, her master thought of ways to enter the Formless Blade Sect, and had eventually become an outer disciple. Thereafter, he completely ignored his low cultivation, to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, to find the Immeasurable Soul-forging Crystal, then to plead Heaven Seeking Palace''s Granny Linglong. All just to save her¡­ Perhaps the Heavens decided to take pity on his determination, allowing him to find the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower, allowing him to meet Granny Linglong, and allowing him to persuade Granny Linglong to save her¡­" "Yan''Er used to be my female slave, but in my heart, she is the only person close to me¡­" These were the words he told Granny Linglong, but now, they appeared again before her eyes. Perhaps, in the entire Lost Continent, he was the only one who would risk himself in the Five Elements Desolate Domain just for his female slave. "Regardless of what happens, you should not forget him. Remember, his name is Mo Wuji. He has average spiritual roots, but he would risk his life to save you. Furthermore, he doesn''t even need for you to remember him, he just wants you to live on!" Granny Linglong''s words seemed to sound in front of her eyes. But she had already forgotten Mo Wuji; she had already forgotten the man who was willing to risk his own life just to save her. "...In my heart, I will always be your bigger brother¡­" These were the words uttered by that man after she rejected him; the man who her master told her to never forget. Yan''Er finally couldn''t hold back her tears. So the two words "Big Brother" could be so heart wrenching; so the two words "Big Brother" could be as heavy as a mountain. I will definitely find you. Even if you¡¯re wicked beyond redemption, you''re my only young master¡­ In my heart, you are my life... Chapter 329: Troubles Lie Ahead Chapter 329: Troubles Lie Ahead Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In this world, besides her young master, who would risk his life to save a female slave like me? Another figure appeared in Yan''Er''s fogged eyes. It was a blacked faced monk; his face had a knife scar across it. In the Thunder Fog Forest, when that beam of black light was about to pierce through her throat, he charged over and pushed her away. Then he used his body to help her block that black light. That black light didn''t manage to pierce through her throat, but it had pierced through his chest. At this instant, she finally realised who that black faced monk was; she also realised who Rogue Cultivator 2705 was. It was her young master; that was her young master. Because in this world, besides her young master, no one else would risk his life to save her. "Remember to cultivate properly, and work hard to live¡­" Those words rang beside her ear, then he brushed by her and left. During those days, she had treated her young master as a stranger. How pained must her young master''s heart have been? If she could redo things, she was willing to lose her own life, so that her young master wouldn''t endanger himself for her; so that the young master wouldn''t block that light beam for her. When her young master was heavily injured, and left while dragging that steel pole, how lonely was he? He had treated her as his closest kin, but she only treated him as a passer by in her life. During that instant, her young master had asked her to work hard to live. His voice had been hoarse and fatigued, like a nomad travelling alone in the desert for his whole life. That sentence, was earned by her young master through several life and death experiences. How much difficulties did her young master go through by himself? If death could help turn back time, then she would willingly die. If wasting her cultivation could help bring her back to her young master, then she would willingly become a mortal. Young master, as long as I¡¯m alive in this world, Yan¡¯Er will definitely find you. It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re at world¡¯s end, or if you¡¯re dead or alive. Yan¡¯Er will be your servant. Forever. "Yan''Er, are you alright?" Seeing Yan''Er, who had a face full of tears, Bei Suting hurried over to support Yan''Er. Yan''Er suddenly snapped back to reality. Her dream had vanished without a trace. No, that was not a dream. That was her memory. "Sister Suting, I need to find my young master." Yan''Er didn''t even wiped the tears off her face. She stood up resolutely and said. "Ah¡­" Bei Suting could never have fathomed the importance Mo Wuji had in Yan''Er''s heart. To think that the first thing Yan''Er wanted to do after she recovered her memories, was to search for Mo Wuji. Yan''Er kowtowed towards San Yisheng, "Many thanks Lord San for helping me recover my memories. Otherwise, Yan''Er would just be an empty shell. Even if my cultivation got any stronger, it would still be useless. I had already lost my most important person." Previously, because she wanted to cultivate without distractions, she did not want to listen to Mo Wuji''s stories about the past. Now, she was willing to ignore her cultivation, just so she could find her young master. Compared to her young master, nothing else was important. San Yisheng sighed, he knew that Yan''Er had some sort of indescribable determination, and now, her determination seemed to have gotten a lot stronger. "Go on then. This is your life, no one can help you. Only you can make your own decisions. But I still need to offer you a piece of advice. Sometimes, you need to have a strong foundation of cultivation before you can achieve your goals. So before anything, it''s still best to work hard to raise your cultivation." Seeing that San Yisheng had picked up his book, Bei Suting hurried to express her thanks. Regarding compensation, she didn''t mention it. Among all the Worldly Immortals who came to San Yisheng for helping, few would mention compensation. But one day, if San Yisheng needed these people to help him, they definitely had to lend a hand. After she brought Yan''Er out of the Valley of the Immortal Doctor, Bei Suting immediately asked Yan''Er, "Yan''Er, in that visual recording, Mo Wuji, he¡­" Yan''Er shook her head, "No matter what young master does, he must be right. I now need to find my young master. Sister Suting, I don''t think I can continue on with you." Bei Suting could never have imagined the indelible position that Mo Wuji had held in Yan''Er''s heart. He was so important that no matter what he did, was right in Yan''Er''s eyes. Bei Suting helplessly said, "Yan''Er, you need to cool down. You know where Mo Wuji is? It''s one of the Nine Extreme Realms, the Extreme Frost Sea. You know what kind of place the Extreme Frost Sea is? Even if I went there, it would hard for me to ensure my own survival." After spurting all that in a single breath, Bei Suting slowly toned down, "I''m not saying this to scold you, I''m just telling you a fact. If you go to the Extreme Frost Sea now, you will definitely vanish without a trace. That sort of biting cold, will definitely kill you within moments. When that happens, there''s no need to talk about finding your young master or helping your young master. I''m afraid that the moment you enter the Extreme Frost Sea, you will lose the opportunity to even see your young master." Yan''Er startled, but immediately calmed down. She was not afraid of death. But if she entered the Extreme Frost Sea now, was it even useful? No. It wasn''t even a half bit useful. Besides sending herself to death, she wouldn''t even see her young master. It was as Sister Suting said, she would also lose all her future opportunities to find her young master. If her young master had died in the Extreme Frost Sea, then she was willing to die together with her young master. But what if her young master didn''t die in the Extreme Frost Sea? If he came out and she wasn''t there by his side, who would take care of him? At this moment, Yan''Er had completely forgotten that it was Mo Wuji taking care of her over the past few years. After she recovered her memories, in her eyes and heart, her young master still needed her to wait after him. When she saw that Yan''Er had calmed down, Bei Suting heaved a sigh of relief, "Yan''Er, it''s hard to say whether Wuji survived in the Extreme Frost Sea. But he''s an extraordinary man. He was able to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain and obtain the Immeasurable Soul-prolonging Flower at the Channel Opening Stage, and he was also able to enter the Universal Board at the True Lake Stage. He was even able to come from the Lost Continent to Zhen Mo Continent by himself. He definitely has his own secrets. So, for other True Lake Stage cultivators, they would be no doubt that they will die in the Extreme Frost Sea, but it might be possible for him. If Wuji survives, but you perished in the Extreme Frost Sea, your soul might not rest easy." Bei Suting¡¯s words reached Yan¡¯Er¡¯s heart. Yan¡¯Er turned expectantly towards Bei Suting, "Sister Suting, then what should I do? How can I see my young master? How can I return to my young master¡¯s side?" Bei Suting grabbed Yan¡¯Er''s hand, and spoke warmly, "You need to work hard and cultivate. If someday, you advance to be a Worldly Immortal, or even an Earthly Immortal, then would you have the chance to enter the Extreme Frost Sea to find your young master. Only if your cultivation is higher, then would you have the opportunity to help your young master. I believe, you also know why your young master was forced into the Extreme Frost Sea. He was forced there due to the pursuit of countless experts. If your cultivation is low, and if Mo Wuji had yet to perish, who will help him if he gets encircled by countless experts again?" "I understand Sister Suting." Yan''Er''s voice turned cold and serious. Those people that forced her young master into the Extreme Frost Sea, she won''t even forgive a single one of them. Senior San Yisheng and Sister Suting were both right; only if her cultivation gets stronger, then could she be qualified to help her young master. ¡­ Ever since six great Worldly Immortals perished in the Extreme Frost Sea, the three clans toned down in their actions. On the contrary, the Universal hall became increasingly lively with activity; all sorts of experts would leave from here to space. Some times, groups of cultivator armies would enter into space from the Universal Pier. The atmosphere in Universal Hall, however, had been greatly repressed. Still, many rogue cultivators throughout Zhen Mo Continent would come to the Universal Hall, then went towards the Star Wars Battlefield through the Universal Pier. Many others wait in the Universal Hall for opportunities. Even though the Universal Hall didn¡¯t make an open announcement, many people had already engaged in their own private discussion. They were discussing about the re-emergence of the Half Moon Immortal Palace which only came out once every 3000 years. The Half Moon Immortal Palace had a total of 99 dao gates. Each dao gate would contain a supreme treasure. The only pity was, each dao gate required a half moon key to open it. Who would know whose hands these half moon keys would end up in after 3000 years? It was rumoured that Yan Yangdong managed to obtain three half moon keys by himself. Who knew, perhaps among the many that head towards the Star Wars Battlefield, there might be a second Yan Yangdong? Moreover, there was another theory. The greatest treasures of the Half Moon Immortal Palace did appear within the 99 dao gates. But it were also treasures that did not reside within those gates, but at various corners within the Half Moon Immortal Palace. So that¡¯s why, this re-emergence of the Half Moon Immortal Palace was highly anticipated by all. Not only the Zhen Mo Continent cultivators, but even the Higher Class space beasts, and alien cultivators would venture here. At that time, a great war could not be avoided. During this war, much contribution points could also be obtained. Universal Contribution Points, this was also something coveted by every cultivator. ¡­ Acting differently from other cultivators, a young man with a longsword on his back entered the Universal Pier from space. He went straight to the second floor of the Universal Pier and flashed his universal token and said, "Help me exchange for 2 Grade 7 Wind Escape Talismans." "Alright, please wait¡­" The attendant casually received the universal token from the young man. When he saw the words on the universal token, his hand trembled, almost dropping the universal token on the floor. "Star King Mountain Lei Hongji. Contribution Points: 29151. Ranking: 9964¡­." Chapter 330: Lei Hongji’s Secret Chapter 330: Lei Hongji¡¯s Secret Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The attendant quickly retrieved two Wind Escape Talismans and respectfully placed it in the hands of the young man. "Senior Lei, I¡¯m handing to you Grandmaster Ming He¡¯s talismans, they are definitely the best Wind Escape talismans." The young man nodded and received the talismans. He had heard of Grandmaster Ming He, the talisman grandmaster of Zhen Mo Continent. Seeing that the young man had accepted the talismans, the attendant carefully withdrew the contribution points for the Grade 7 talismans from the young man¡¯s universal token. He then returned it to him. The young man kept his universal token and said to the worker, "Thank you." "Don¡¯t mention it, don¡¯t mention it. I will still sell the best things to Senior the next time you come over." Only after the young man had left the second level did the worker exclaim to the others, "Do you know who that was? It was Lei Hongji, the Lei Hongji who just made it onto the Universal Board not long ago. Space Contribution Points: 29151, Rank 9964. I never knew that Senior Lei was so handsome, and so young!" "He¡¯s Lei Hongji? I heard before that with one of his palms and a clap of thunder, all of the space beasts in the area were killed." "That¡¯s right. I heard that the Mo Wuji who made it on the board earlier is also a cultivator with lightning spiritual roots. The lightning bolts that he casts are comparable to Lei Hongji¡¯s." "How can you compare Mo Wuji to Lei Hongji? Mo Wuji could only kill space beasts and accumulate space contribution points because he was hiding behind a space army general. Although Senior Lei Hongji is from Star King Mountain, he depended on nobody but himself to battle in space. I heard that he even helped some space army generals a few times." "You can¡¯t put it that way. Why don¡¯t you try to tag behind a space army general and see if you can get your name on the Universal Board?" "Mo Wuji is a bastard, and a lunatic. How can he compare with Star King Mountain¡¯s Lei Hongji?" "Only a childish talent like you would say something like this. Do you think that nobody could tell there was something wrong with that video? Everyone¡¯s only concerned with their own interests. Mo Wuji killed that little girl indeed, but the video did not show the full story. Learned people could tell with one look." "You¡¯re right, we¡¯re only discussing the strong people on the Universal Board. All this about character¡­ what is character? Speaking of character, that Lei Hongji got involved with the Xia Clan when he had just arrived. Later, he even offered his services to the Star Lord. His character is not that great¡­" ¡­ Lei Hongji couldn¡¯t hear others¡¯ discussions. At that moment, he arrived at Level 1 of the Universal Pier. He was happy to be in Zhen Mo Continent, in Star King Mountain. This was a place suited for him to cultivate. He was going to rise here. Just a few years ago, he progressed from Yuan Dan Stage to Nihility God Stage Level 1. It could be said that among the geniuses from the Lost Continent, no one was as fast as him in terms of cultivation. One day, he was going to kill his way back to the Lost Continent and take revenge for the Lei Clan. As for that Tian Ji Sect, keke, if he had not gone to even things out with them, his surname was not Lei. He believed that he could do it. No matter how strong Bei Suting was, she would not be as successful as him in future. As for that Xia Mu and the Xia Clan¡¯s Yan Yangnan, keke, they weren¡¯t even important enough for him to bother. This was because he had his own secret which nobody knew about ¨Chis spiritual roots. Everyone knew that he had lightning spiritual roots, but they did not know that he had mutated lightning spiritual roots. Moreover, his mutated lightning spiritual roots were different from others¡¯ mutated spiritual roots. His could progress infinitely. When he was at the Lost Continent, his mutated lightning spiritual roots were only at Grade 2. At that time, his cultivation speed was frightening, yet he couldn¡¯t defeat the geniuses. After he entered Zhen Mo Continent, under the excellent cultivation conditions, his cultivation speed became even higher. Not only that; as his spiritual roots became stronger, his understanding of cultivation deepened and his skills improved. At that moment, his lightning technique was not what he inherited from his ancestors. Instead, he developed it himself, following nature¡¯s changes. His lightning spiritual roots had already progressed to Grade 3. Maybe when he entered True God Stage, his mutated lightning spiritual roots would upgrade to Grade 4. When that happened, he was sure he would be more sensitive toward the lightning element, and the lightning techniques he developed would be even stronger. Others¡¯ lightning spiritual roots could only be described as supreme. Those supreme lightning spiritual roots were only as good as his Grade 2 lightning spiritual roots. How could they compare to him now? If he were allowed to climb the Heaven Seeking Staircase at that moment, he could possibly make it to the Level 108. On the first floor of Universal Pier, the ambitious Lei Hongji was stopped in his tracks by a squinty-eyed man, before he could even handover the space contribution points. "Greetings to my dao friend. May I ask if this dao friend would allow me to take a look at the sword on his back?" The squinty-eyes man asked, unknowingly displaying his grandeur. He was definitely an expert in mid Nihility God Stage. Lei Hongji¡¯s gaze landed coolly on this squinty-eyed man, as he curtly spat out one word, "Scram." "You¡¯re courting death¡­" the man in mid Nihility God Stage was infuriated by Lei Hongji¡¯s arrogance. Killing intent emanated from every pore on his body, enveloping Lei Hongji. If not for the fact that they were at the Universal Pier, he would have taken action. The way he saw it, faced with his marvellous display of strength, Lei Hongji was sure to retreat. As long as he did, he was going to teach Lei Hongji what "elder" meant. However, he was taken aback. Lei Hongji did not retreat even half a step, but instead, stepped forward. A killing intent, strong as if it had come from the land of the dead, rolled over. The squinty-eyed man felt as if his skin was being sliced away by a sharp sword. He quickly backed away. He took more than ten steps back before the pressure from the frightening killing intent weakened. He looked at Lei Hongji in fear and subconsciously retreated once more. Even an expert in late Nihility God Stage was unable to oppress him with such frightening killing intent. Thankfully, they were at Universal Pier. Otherwise, he would have likely lost his life to this opponent. The man realised that Lei Hongji was not in the least bit intimidated by him. He quickly turned his back to leave, and swore that if he saw that fella again, he would surely avoid him. "Sister Suting, it¡¯s Lei Hongji. His cultivation level is almost the same as mine now." Outside the first floor of the Universal Pier, Yan¡¯Er saw for herself how Lei Hongji had chased away an expert in mid Nihility God Stage with his ferocious killing intent. She felt uneasy. The animosity between the Lei Clan and Rogue Cultivator 2705 was known to everyone, even her, who was so focused on cultivation. This was indicative of how huge the animosity was. After finding out that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was her young master, she set her mind on looking for a way to save him. Now, Lei Hongji¡¯s cultivation level was not far from hers, however that grandeur was not something that she could match up to. They were both early in Nihility God Stage, yet she was sure that she would not be Lei Hongji¡¯s match. Bei Suting nodded, "Earlier, this person made it to Level 99 on the Heaven Seeking Staircase. At the time I already knew that he was not so simple. From the looks of it now, he is indeed formidable. His cultivation speed is even higher than yours. This is despite the fact that you have mutated wood-affinity spiritual roots, which are most easy to cultivate." After she finished speaking, Bei Suting paused for a moment. She continued, "Yan¡¯¡¯Er, do you know about Tian Ji Sect?" Yan¡¯Er nodded. The sect head of Tian Ji Sect was murdered, and Tian Ji Sect was wiped out by the Lei Clan. She had heard of this before. "The sword on Lei Hongji¡¯s back is Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Tian Ji sword. He is blatantly carrying it on his back now. Clearly, the Lei Clan indeed murdered Tian Ji Sect¡¯s sect head," Bei Suting said. "Sister Suting, I want to go to Star Wars Battlefield alone," Yan¡¯Er announced resolutely. Seeing the confused look that Bei Suting was giving her, Yan¡¯Er warmly explained, "Sister Suting, if I got to Star Wars Battlefield with you, I will be safe for sure. But that would be of no use to me. If I want to improve my skills, I cannot hide behind you. I have to experience the struggle to survive on my own before I can truly grow." Bei Suting saw Yan¡¯Er gazing at the spot where Lei Hongji disappeared. She understood what Yan¡¯Er was saying. Indeed, if she wanted to be as strong as Lei Hongji, Yan¡¯Er could not constantly be under the protection of Bei Suting. "Yan¡¯Er, since you have decided, I will not try to persuade you. However, you must be careful. Before you become a Worldly Immortal, do not try to go to Extreme Frost Sea." Bei Suting knew that her persuasions would have no effect, so she immediately agreed to Yan¡¯Er¡¯s request. Yan¡¯Er rose to her feet and bowed to Bei Suting. "Sister Suting, please do not worry. Before I am done with helping Young Master sort out some matters, I will not go to Extreme Frost Sea." Apart from helping her young master take revenge, she also wanted to go to the Lost Continent to help him get Northern Qin Prefecture back. No matter what, this was something her young master could not let go of. Northern Qin Prefecture had to return to the Mo Clan. Yan¡¯Er was so focused on cultivating in the Lost Continent that she did not know Mo Wuji had already gotten Northern Qin Prefecture back. Not only that, but the princess of Northern Qin Prefecture was a relative of the Mo Clan. Chapter 331: Shuai Guo Chapter 331: Shuai Guo Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Kacha, kacha¡­" The spirit pith stone mushrooms around Mo Wuji continuously disintegrated. 104 meridians simultaneously reverse circulated, drawing in an intense whirlpool of spiritual energy. A whirlpool of this size was still a first for Mo Wuji. From Nihility God Level 1 to Level 3, he only spent three months of time. After he reached Nihility God Level 3, his cultivation speed gradually slowed down. But his violent spiritual energy whirlpool still constantly shattered the surrounding spirit pith stone mushrooms. Advancing from Nihility God Level 3 to Level 4 was not something that could be done in one or two days. Thus, Mo Wuji temporarily stopped his cultivation. At regular intervals, he would stop cultivating, and checked up on Cen Shuyin''s jade coffin. Even though the jade coffin was protected by his array and the Scholar''s Heart, this place was still the Extreme Frost Sea. If anything happened, he would never be able to forgive himself. Cen Shuyin might already be dead, but he didn''t want to place her into his storage ring. The ring only contained lifeless objects, he was afraid that placing Cen Shuyin inside there would make her feel lonely. Even though it was cold outside, at least he was there to keep her company. Mo Wuji sighed, sending his spiritual will into his storage ring. No matter how big his storage ring was, it was merely a space to store items. Within his storage ring, there were huge piles of spirit stones and spiritual pills, and he already had enough spiritual equipment and various materials to form a mountain. At this moment, he really wanted to exchange his pile of storage rings and everything inside for a little world which could hold life. However, such a treasure was only a thing of myths. If only Cen Shuyin was still alive. Cultivating at this sort of place, with Cen Shuyin''s talent coupled with her Typhoon Formula, her cultivation would definitely be even higher than his. A fist sized khaki coloured egg appeared in his spiritual will. Looking at this egg, Mo Wuji recalled that he once ventured out into Chang Luo Sea with Ji Guang and co. to hunt for Winged Sea Leopard eggs. They managed to find a total of five Winged Sea Leopard eggs, and in the nest, there was also this unusual egg. Because he had contributed the most, this egg had been given to him. As he retropected about his past, Mo Wuji thought about Ding Bu''Er, Yuan Zhenyi, Aunt Eleven and co. He didn''t know how was Ding Bu''Er doing. Previously, he was constantly running for his life and madly cultivating. Even after he became the alliance head, he still didn''t have the opportunity to see Ding Bu''Er. There was still Aunt Eleven. How were she and Mo Xiangtong doing? Then, there''s Yan''Er. Back in Formless Blade Sect, she would stroll around the Blood Lotus Lake hugging this egg. Now that Yan''Er''s with Bei Suting, she should be alright, right? The past was like smoke, it wasn¡¯t permanently there. Mo Wuji sighed, and subconsciously held this khaki coloured egg in his hands. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji just brought the egg out, and a tiny fracture actually cracked out from its outer shell. Mo Wuji stared at the egg in astonishment; he could feel the egg trembling lightly. He hurriedly circulated warm elemental energy around this egg, ecstasy filled his heart. He never thought that there would be a day that this egg would hatch. But in these horrifyingly cold place, if the cold air invaded in, then this egg would be done for. "Kakaka¡­" Under the envelope of Mo Wuji''s elemental energy, the crack got larger and larger, and eventually, a sharp mouth could be seen. The sharp mouth looked like a bird¡¯s beak, but the creature also had huge, round eyes. Its huge, round eyes circled around, then its sharp beak started pecking around, directly devouring the eggshell around it. Mo Wuji stared blankly at this small creature: Sharp beak, huge eyes and there were actually three horns on its head. Correspondingly, it also had three legs. Looking at the wings with some straggly feathers, Mo Wuji could guess that this was a bird-type creature. Besides the pair of large eyes which looked quite human-like, this bird was simply too ugly. The moment this ugly bird emerged, it started chirping excitedly, as it wanted to immediately to jump straight towards the spirit pith stone mushrooms. Luckily, this fella had some intelligence. As it extended its head, it knew that if it left Mo Wuji''s palm, it would immediately die. "Ji Ji!" The ugly bird continuously used its beak to peck at Mo Wuji''s palm, seemingly saying: Hurry let me eat some spirit pith! Mo Wuji signed, "You¡¯re so ugly, I''ll call you Little Ugly then." The ugly bird seemed to understand Mo Wuji''s words, and started to chirp at a higher volume. "You understand my words?" Mo Wuji stared at this ugly bird in surprise. He knew that, even if the ugly bird was a demonic beast, for it to understand his words, it needed to at least be in the late Class 1, or even Class 2 to do so. This little bird had just hatched, and it could already understand his words. This intelligence was simply no different from the American President! "Then why don''t I call you Shuai Guo?" [1] Mo Wuji asked in a playful tone. This ugly bird did not seem to understand what ''Shuai Guo¡¯ meant, as it stared innocently at Mo Wuji with it''s big eyes. Mo Wuji could only explain, "It means handsome. And not just handsome, it also signifies that you¡¯re tall and well-built." The ugly bird seemed to really understand Mo Wuji''s words as it jumped excitedly on Mo Wuji''s palm, seemingly very contented with this name. Mo Wuji stared speechlessly at the ugly bird in his hand, truly a Shuai Guo. This was his first time seeing such a shameless bird. "Do you even care about your face?" Mo Wuji stared at the ugly bird excitedly dancing in his palm, and was unable to bear it as he asked exasperatedly. The ugly bird seemed to not understand Mo Wuji''s words again, staring at Mo Wuji with its huge, innocent eyes. Mo Wuji was still suspicious; was this little thing acting. Exactly what ancient beast lay this egg? To actually have have such thick skin even at birth. After it grew up, its skin would probably be thick enough to defend against this cold, right? Mo Wuji shook his head; he couldn''t possibly constantly hold this bird in his palm. Thus, he sent the little bird into Cen Shuyin''s array. This array was bolstered with the Scholar''s Heart, so the cold air would not seep in. Even though Shuai Guo was ugly, Mo Wuji didn''t want it to freeze to death. Within the array, there were stacks of spirit pith stone mushrooms. The moment Shuai Guo entered the array, it immediately pounced on a spirit pith stone mushroom, and started chewing it with a "Jizha!" sound. Mo Wuji very seriously and solemnly looked towards this ugly bird and said, "Shuai Guo, this is your female master''s resting place. You have to carefully protect it. If you eat this spirit pith stone mushrooms and accidentally deactivate the array, the cold air will invade your female master''s coffin. Even though you''re pretty ugly, I will still cook you into soup. You only have one mission here, to protect the female master." Shuai Guo was once again no longer able to understand Mo Wuji¡¯s words. It picked up another spirit pith mushroom stone and revealed an innocent and imploring expression. Mo Wuji could no longer be bothered with it, continuing in his attempt to rush into Nihility God Level 4. Since the Half Moon Immortal Palace was so important, he needed to ascend to a True God in the shortest time possible. Thereafter, he would need to find ways to enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace. ... In the cultivation world, time passed like a flash. Unintentionally, in one closed door cultivation, many years might have already passed. In Universal Pier, a woman with a face veil entered from space. The surrounding cultivators saw this woman and they all respectfully moved to the side. In Zhen Mo Continent, each Worldly Immortal was a well-known existence. Even though no one especially went to check, everyone knew that this veiled woman was a Worldly Immortal expert. Moreover, she ranked within the Universal Board a year ago, entering the top 5000. This woman was Bei Suting. Previously when Yan''Er left for space alone, Bei Suting felt unsettled, so she went off to space too. However, she trained in space for a total of three years but she didn''t get a single news about Yan''Er. Over these three years, she had accumulated quite an amount of space contribution points and had reached the top 5000 in the Universal Board. For a Worldly Immortal, ranking in the top 5000 didn''t mean much. Her ranking actually seemed very incongruent when compared to her cultivation. However, Bei Suting did not mind; she had never really cared much about these boards. Arriving at the first floor of Universal Pier, Bei Suting subconsciously looked for Mo Wuji''s name on the Heaven, Earth and Mortal Boards. She wanted to know whether Mo Wuji''s name was up there. In her perspective, Mo Wuji was able to rank in the Universal Board at the True Lake Stage, so if he was still alive, he might also be on the Zhen Mo Continent''s Earth Board. She saw Lei Hongji¡¯s name on the Earth Board; Lei Hongji was already at rank 16. In Zhen Mo Continent, there were as many talents as there were clouds. For Lei Hongji to rank 16 was already an incredible feat. Even Bei Suting herself knew that when she was at the Nihility God Stage, she wouldn''t be able to rank 16. Besides that, she also saw the Yan Clan''s Yan Yangnan. Yan Yangnan¡¯s brother, Yan Yangdong, was killed by Mo Wuji. This Yan Yangnan was actually also on the Earth Board. He was ranked 384. The three boards - Heaven, Earth and Mortal - each had 10,000 people. Whether it was Rank 16 or Rank 384, they were both heaven defying talents that could easily defeat other geniuses at the same realm. Unfortunately, she searched through the entire board but she didn''t see Mo Wuji''s name. Bei Suting sighed. During her latest venture, she specially made a trip to the Extreme Frost Sea. But after she entered it, she could not stay for long before she rushed out. Even with her cultivation, she couldn''t stay at the Extreme Frost Sea for long. Mo Wuji had already been there for several years. The probability that he was still alive was infinitesimally close to zero. [1] Shuai Guo means Pot Thrower. It''s an LOL term in China, where a player just throws the blame to the rest of team when they lost instead of blaming himself. Chapter 332: Shuai Guo’s Idea Chapter 332: Shuai Guo¡¯s Idea Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s surrounding spirituality was agitated and the inner marks of spirituality could be clearly seen even on the outside. The spirit pith stone mushrooms around him had already been fragmented into pieces which evidently showed how great Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of absorbing spiritual energy was. "Boom!" It felt as though his entire body exploded when Mo Wuji¡¯s 105th meridian suddenly flowed through. Nihility God Stage Level 12, the elemental energy within his body increased as his sea of consciousness expanded yet again. The huge violet lake in his sea of consciousness didn¡¯t disappear but enlarged once more. Not only this but the violet energy in his huge violet lake was also getting increasingly dense. Mo Wuji knew that normally after reaching the Nihility God Stage, one would be able to condense out some blurry primordial spirit. However, even after reaching Nihility God Stage Level 12, he didn¡¯t condense any blurry primordial spirit and other than the increase in elemental energy and the violet energy lake, there wasn¡¯t really much difference from previous advancements. Despite so, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind because when others were in the Yuan Dan Stage, they condensed their golden core while he condensed purple energy in his Yuan Dan Stage. Since this was the case, it would be perfectly normal even if he didn¡¯t condense any illusionary primordial spirit while in his Nihility God Stage. After he modified his immortal mortal technique, he was already reversed cultivating so even if there was any difference, he wouldn¡¯t mind at all. As long as he could continue advancing and his cultivation level kept increasing, nothing else mattered. He spent a total of three months to advance from Nihility God Stage Level 1 to Nihility God Stage Level 3 but from Nihility God Stage Level 3 to opening his 105th meridians and then to Nihility God Stage Level 12, he spent a total of three years. This was with the help of the spirit pith stone mushrooms because he predicted that he would probably need many more years to reach the same level if he were to cultivate outside. If he were to spend over ten years to progress from Nihility God Stage Level 3 to Level 12, by the time, let¡¯s not talk about the Half Moon Immortal Palace, even the Full Moon Immortal Palace might not be there anymore. So after advancing to the Nihility God Stage Level 12, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stop but continued to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy from the spirit pith stone mushrooms at an insane rate because he wanted to rush into the True God Stage. Only after reaching the True God Stage would he be able to gain a foothold to stand in space. In this piece of space, there were not a lot of Worldly Immortals as most of them would not be wandering around in space. These experts normally went into closed doors because they would always want to advance to a higher cultivation level. Therefore, whether it was at the Star Wars Battlefield, Universal Hall or in space, a True God Stage could truly dominate the area. If one wanted to protect himself, he had to advance to the True God Stage. As all 105 meridians underwent the spiritual circulation simultaneously, the increase in speed of engulfing spiritual energy was simply not as simple as just having one extra meridian. The fragmenting sound of the spirit pith stone mushrooms was even more compressed and frequent but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t move an inch as he continued sweeping up the spiritual energy to cultivate without getting distracted. Hiding on the periphery of the defensive array was the ugly bird, Shuai Guo, as it opened its beak widely while staring in awe at the way the spiritual energy of the spirit pith stone mushrooms were being absorbed and then destroyed by Mo Wuji. Only after a while did it lower it¡¯s head to look at the spirit pith stone mushrooms around itself. A lot of these spirit pith stone mushrooms were the remains after being bitten by it. As compared to Mo Wuji, it was simply too lousy. Even a bird like himself felt too infuriating to look at how Mo Wuji was sucking up the essence of the spirit pith while it was only eating the crumbs of it. However, this would not stump it as it quickly mimicked Mo Wuji¡¯s actions by sitting on the spirit pith stone mushrooms so that it could absorb the spiritual energy at an insane rate too. As three of its legs rested on the floor, it looked a little comical but for Shuai Guo, who was insistent on copying Mo Wuji, it wasn¡¯t a problem no matter how comical he looked. A couple of hours passed and Shuai Guo realised that there was no change to the surrounding spirit pith stone mushrooms and it didn¡¯t even absorb any spiritual energy. It could only widen his mouth and swallow a large piece of spirit pith stone mushroom helplessly as it continued to stare at Mo Wuji. Shuai Guo always thought that it was an intelligent bird that was able to understand situation very swiftly. It was only capable of eating the spirit pith but this daddy here was actually able to use an unknown method to absorb all the spiritual energy within the spirit pith. How should it get this daddy to pass on his cultivation technique to itself? Shuai Guo¡¯s eyes wandered for half a day before it thought of the jade coffin which it was protecting. My matron must be inside the jade coffin because daddy seemed very concerned over it. At the thought of this, this ugly bird praised himself for being smart as it started to use these spirit pith stone mushrooms to build a small altar in front of this jade coffin. In addition to that, it built a spirit pith futon for kneeling in front of this altar. After doing this, this bird still felt like it was missing something. Following which, it plucked out three strands of feather from it¡¯s fluffy wings and then stuck these three strands onto the altar. This was finally more like it as Shuai Guo walked over shakily onto the spirit pith futon to try paying it¡¯s respect just that it wasn¡¯t too convenient for it¡¯s three legs to kneel down. However, it was okay because it¡¯s daddy was still in the midst of his cultivation. It would act properly when he came out of his cultivation. As for the three strands of feather¡­ Shuai Guo tilted it¡¯s head to think for a while before suddenly spitting out flames. From his legacy memory, it seemed like the three sticks must be lighted up to be sincere. Wrong, as it looked over to Mo Wuji, who was still cultivating, Shuai Guo swallowed back the flame. Even if it needed to light up the three joss sticks, it needed to wait for it¡¯s daddy to see. Otherwise, he would need to pluck another three feathers and it¡¯s feathers were simply too precious to keep burning. ¡­ Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seemed bothered by whatever Shuai Guo was doing and even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t pay much attention as well. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to step past the Nihility God Stage into the Heaven Realm¡¯s True God Stage. Therefore, his rate of absorbing spiritual energy increased yet again as it continued to grow crazily. Following which was the continuous fragmenting of the spirit pith stone mushrooms around him. In a blink of an eye, Mo Wuji had already cultivated for a year. The day Mo Wuji opened his eyes, his heart let out a long sigh. A year ago he stepped into the Nihility God Stage 12 but a year later he was still at the Nihility God Stage 12 and had not even reached the Great Circle of the Nihilty God Stage. Given his progress now, he might not even reach the True God Stage in another 10 years here. This was definitely not due to the lack of spiritual energy here because there were spirit pith stone mushrooms all around here. In other words, there simply wasn¡¯t too many places with spiritual energy comparable to here. It seemed like this place was not suitable for him to advance into the Heaven Realm and if he wanted to advance into the True God Stage, he had to leave this Extreme Frost Sea. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji stood up. He made a stunning discovery when he saw Shuai Guo spitting out flame to light up the three strands of feathers and then kowtow in front of the jade coffin in a serious manner. Looking at how he was kneeling with three legs, it was simply too comical. "Ugly bird, what are you doing?" Mo Wuji asked. After over 4 years, Shuai Guo was no longer very ugly. At least it was fully filled with feathers and the three horns on his head made him look like a bird with personality. It¡¯s beak was still a beak, it¡¯s round eyes were still round and it was still not missing any of its three legs. "Daddy, I am respectfully devout in paying my respects to matron. To pray that my matron could bless me so I may soon¡­" Shuai Guo eventually swallowed the words ¡®have a cultivation technique¡¯ forcefully. Mo Wuji was confused, "Ugly bird, what did you call me? Who allowed you to call me daddy? Call me that once more and I will roast you. Wait, since when can you talk?" "Dad...My name is Shuai Guo so you can¡¯t call me ugly bird. You only tasked me to take care of my matron yet didn¡¯t give me any cultivation technique so how would you know I could talk?" Shuai Guo still said what he wanted to say from the start. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows, "You can call me whatever you want but just not daddy." He was thinking in his heart that this bird had three legs and could even spit fire so he wondered if this bird had anything to do with the Three-footed Golden Crow. The Three-footed Golden Crow was an ancient spirit beast however, there was still three horns on ugly bird¡¯s head so even if it was a descendant of the Three-footed Golden Crow, it would not be it¡¯s direct descendant. "Then I will call you old man? Could my old man give me one of your cultivation technique?" Shuai Guo couldn¡¯t forget about the cultivation technique and it was only because of the cultivation technique that he plucked out his feathers, kneeled and waited for almost a year. Mo Wuji took a step into the defensive array and immediately grabbed Shuai Guo¡¯s beak before throwing it to the side, "You are the old man, do i look very old to you?" Shuai Guo noticed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t feeling very pleased so it didn¡¯t nag anymore as it didn¡¯t even dare to mention anything about the cultivation technique again. Mo Wuji walked over to Cen Shuyin and felt that the jade coffin was still safe and sound. He checked Cen Shuyin underneath the layers of defensive arrays ban he put in place and saw that there was no new scratches on her but his heart still felt heavy once again. After a long sigh, he thought that he should return to the Lost Continent. He wanted to bury Cen Shuyin near her mother and let her be closer with her family again no matter what. Perhaps in Cen Shuyin¡¯s heart, her mother was her only blood related relative that she was close with. After a while, Mo Wuji turned towards Shuai Guo and said, "My cultivation techniques are meant for human cultivators to use. What use would it be for a bird like you to cultivate using my technique¡­" "... I want to be useful as a bird ah¡­" Shuai Guo shrugged as it replied with one sentence while feeling discontented. He knew that it would be useful as a bird but he still refused to let it cultivate, this daddy, no, this old fellow was simply too petty. Mo Wuji stopped talking momentarily as he looked speechlessly at Shuai Guo. Shuai Guo wanted a cultivation technique wasn¡¯t it so it could be useful as a bird? "Forget it, you wouldn¡¯t understand even if I explain. I will unearth a pile of spirit pith stone mushrooms and then we will get ready to head out. After we leave, I would find a way to help you create a bird technique for cultivation," Mo Wuji waved his hand at Shuai Guo as he didn¡¯t wish to speak too much to this mystical bird. When it heard that Mo Wuji wanted to help it make a bird technique, Shuai Guo¡¯s eyes lit up and it¡¯s heart was as sweet and comfortable like it just drank a cup of honey. Half a month later, Mo Wuji stopped digging. After cultivating for years, the number of spirit pith stone mushrooms were already getting much lesser. Now that he had unearthed so many more, there was only a pathetic few spirit pith stone mushrooms left. "Shuyin, let¡¯s go," Mo Wuji walked to the front of the jade coffin and reached out his hand to carry the jade coffin up. Shuai Guo saw the opportunity and flew to the shoulder of Mo Wuji because it knew clearly that the moment he lost Mo Wuji¡¯s protection, it would disintegrate because of the biting cold.

Thank you everyone :) Chapter 333: Heaven Calamity Stone Chapter 333: Heaven Calamity Stone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji hung his Tian Ji Pole behind him as he dragged the jade coffin out of the aperture of the Extreme Frost Sea. The matured scene of the universe made Mo Wuji recalled the scene when Cen Shuyin was carrying him into this same Extreme Frost Sea¡¯s aperture as she narrated her childhood to Mo Wuji. After all these years, Cen Shuyin and himself finally made it out again. The difference this time round was that Cen Shuyin was inside this jade coffin. "Shuyin, I will quickly find a smaller world and bury you with many fresh flowers around you. In the future, I will definitely bring you next to your mother so you will never be lonely again," Mo Wuji gently stroke against the jade coffin as he murmured to himself. Only after a while, Mo Wuji kept the jade coffin inside his storage ring because while travelling across space, he would meet any type of space beasts at any moment so it would be inconvenient for him to be holding the jade coffin like this. There was no life in the storage ring, no flowers or trees and this was why he was unwilling to put the coffin in the storage ring from the start. After letting out a sigh, Mo Wuji finally took out his round flying ship. Shuai Guo could sensed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t feeling very happy so it didn¡¯t speak much as it hid in a corner of the flying ship alone. Mo Wuji was not in the mood to bother about Shuai Guo so he retrieved his spatial positioning ball and ignited the flying ship towards the aperture to leave the Extreme Frost Sea. The grade of his spatial positioning ball was not high so it still couldn¡¯t display any positioning. Back then when he killed all six of the Worldly Immortal Stage experts, they must have had a truck load of good items but the pity was that the moment the laser canons were shot, even he couldn¡¯t control the extent of its power. All six Worldly Immortals were already burnt till even their ashes were no longer around, let alone the storage rings on their body. After flying in space for another two consecutive days, Mo Wuji finally came to a halt. If he wanted to advance to the True God Stage, returning to the Zhen Mo Continent would still be the best option available. The space might be vast but the dao rules here were extremely blur so it might not be that easy if he wanted to advance into the True God Stage here. However, returning to the Zhen Mo Continent would definitely entail a huge war. The moment he was recognised, someone would definitely find trouble with him. Given his strength now, he was indeed a lot stronger as compared to when he was chased after previously. However, if a real expert came along, Mo Wuji¡¯s strength would still be a distance away. After all, Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t even stepped into the True God Stage. When he was in the True Lake Stage, he was able to kill a Nihility God Stage expert because these two stages belonged to the Earth Realm. Being in the Nihility God Stage himself didn¡¯t mean that he could kill a True God Stage. Perhaps he could defeat a True God Stage expert but for him to kill one, it was simply too hard for him at his current stage. After all, the True God Stage belonged to the Heaven Realm and one had to go through the Six-Nine Lightning Calamity to reach that stage. Just when Mo Wuji was trying to find someone in space to get a more complete spatial positioning ball, a dazzling light radiance was shot out from far away. It looked like a round ball but also looked like a piece of massive shining stone. What made Mo Wuji surprised was that this light radiance that shot through the space brought along an indescribable dao aura. Mo Wuji looked suspiciously at the round ball which disappeared far into the space as he was wondering what exactly could that be. Because even if a meteorite had some radiance on it, it would never emit a dao aura. That was an occult aura that he knew he would never be able to grasp hold of yet a strong desire to obtain it. Mo Wuji sensed the shadows of flying ships flying by using his spiritual will and these flying ships were evidently headed towards that brilliant stone that pierced through the space. That must a treasure! Mo Wuji confirmed that in almost an instant because if it wasn¡¯t a treasure, others wouldn¡¯t fly towards it in a hurry the moment they saw it. Could this be the Heaven Calamity Stone? As he thought of the Heaven Calamity Stone, Mo Wuji became excited. Even though he didn¡¯t receive much resources during his time in the sects, he had acquired quite a bit of spoils. There were a lot of victory goods including the various Heaven and Earth grade treasures and the Heaven Calamity Stone was the one treasure almost everyone yearned for. Heaven Calamity Stone usually appeared in space or the endless void space as its entire body would emit light radiance of spirituality. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too sure that the white light he saw earlier on was the same spirituality. If that was truly the Heaven Calamity Stone, it would definitely be what he needed desperately. The Heaven Calamity Stone was able to allow cultivators to undergo tribulation and even received sufficient pure spiritual energy to advance. This was actually not the Heaven Calamity Stone¡¯s most important usage because things like heavenly tribulation could occur even without the use of a Heaven Calamity Stone as long as one was strong enough coupled with a change of venue to undergo tribulation would usually suffice. The reason why the Heaven Calamity Stone was highly sought after was because after the Heaven Calamity Stone was used for tribulation, the stone would perish and the user who underwent tribulation would be able to gain insights of a sacred art. Having something like a sacred art was like having a great killing machine of the legends. Even the highest grade of magic skill would not be comparable to the sacred art. How did the three big clans of the Star King Mountain started up? Wasn¡¯t it because they received sacred arts from the Half Moon Immortal Palace? Rumours were that what they received were pseudo-sacred arts. If pseudo-sacred arts were able to allow the three big clans to gain a foothold in the Star King Mountain and become a top grade force in the Zhen Mo Continent, what would happen if one were to receive the real sacred art from the Heaven Calamity Stone? Heaven Calamity Stone had existed in space for an extremely long time and it¡¯s spirituality aura was formed by absorbing and condensing the spiritual energy from both heaven and earth. Something like this must be used immediately at sight and must not be kept in the storage ring. The moment it was kept in the storage ring, that heaven and earth spirituality would immediately dissipate and it would be equivalent to obtaining a piece of trash. Moreover, there weren¡¯t a lot of storage rings which were capable of storing a Heaven Calamity Stone. Therefore, cultivators who had yet to undergo lightning tribulation could only stare at this Heaven Calamity Stone. The Heaven Calamity Stone was most suitable for cultivators in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage or the Great Circle of the True God Stage. If a Worldly Immortal were to undergo tribulation with the Heaven Calamity Stone, it would awake the use of sacred art for the Worldly Immortal expert too. However, there were already extremely little experts in the Great Circle of the Worldly Immortal Stage and even if there were these few, they would be in closed doors performing their own dao technique. How many of them would actually have time to wander in space? Only the Nihility God Stage and True God Stage cultivators would have the highest possibility to see the Heaven Calamity Stone. After guessing that the stone that flew by could be the Heaven Calamity Stone, Mo Wuji immediately turned the direction of the flying ship and headed towards that direction in the greatest speed possible. He definitely had to get the Heaven Calamity Stone on his hands. ¡­ After several days, Mo Wuji knew that his current prospect of obtaining the Heaven Calamity Stone was not great at all. The Heaven Calamity Stone was not only spotted by himself but by almost everyone here in the space too. There were even some cultivators from other places who had received the signals and hurried here. Mo Wuji kept his flying ship immediately and said to Shuai Guo, "Hold on to my shoulder because I am about to increase my speed." Shuai Guo heard and immediately threw its body onto Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder. Mo Wuji kept his flying ship and as a slight wind blew past him, they immediately disappeared from their original position. Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique was at the pinnacle of level 6 and he was also at the peak of the Nihility God Stage. Even though his Wind Escape Technique had to drop one level to be used in space, his speed was still incredibly great. Eventually, there were automatically some faint wind blowing from his back to ignite his technique as he no longer had to use his elemental energy to do so. Was he about to break into his Wind Escape Technique Level 7? Af the thought of this, Mo Wuji felt weightless and he felt like he had turned into a blanket of indistinct smoke as he fluttered away. He really did break through into level 7 of his Wind Escape Technique and Mo Wuji¡¯s long term frustration of not being able to break into the True God Stage was finally relieved by a little. Since he was not able to step into the True God Stage, it was fantastic news that his Wind Escape Technique was able to advance. After he reached level 7, Mo Wuji¡¯s speed was even quicker so much so that he flew past flying ships after flying ships. However, no matter how many flying ships he flew past, there was always another flying ship in front of him. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan the surrounding and he realised that most of the cultivators on board the flying ships were in the Nihility God Stage Level 9. There were even some Nihility God Stage Level 8 cultivators increasing their speed to go ahead. There was still one more benefit to undergo tribulation on the Heaven Calamity Stone and that was even if one hadn¡¯t undergo the lightning tribulation, as long as his cultivation level was not too far away, you could induct the lightning tribulation on the Heaven Calamity Stone too. Simultaneously, one¡¯s cultivation level would progress into the advanced stage of the Great Circle in the shortest possible time. The only thing Mo Wuji could rejoice about was the fact that he hadn¡¯t seen any experts in the Great Circle of the True God Stage. There were in fact two True God Stage experts but both of them only just stepped into the Heaven Realm not too long ago. The reasons why these fellas would be looking for the Heaven Calamity Stone was definitely to gift it to more suitable people to use as stepping stone for further cultivation. The Heaven Calamity Stone in space was naturally for people to use for tribulation so as long as the person chasing it had reached a certain level of cultivation and speed, the Heaven Calamity Stone would naturally slow itself down intuitively. This slowing down didn¡¯t mean a complete halt but it would be a speed which many average cultivators would still be unable to catch up with. After executing his Wind Escape Technique for three consecutive days, Mo Wuji could finally see the Heaven Calamity Stone from far away. Now that his Wind Escape Technique was at level 7, Mo Wuji¡¯s speed had already exceeded the Heaven Calamity Stone¡¯s speed. Seeing Mo Wuji getting closer and closer to the Heaven Calamity Stone and just as he was near to the stone, an extremely dour voice was heard, "The small kid in front, stop right there for master. The Heaven Calamity Stone is not for an ant like you to mess with," Shuai Guo, which was standing on Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder, heard this and his eyeballs were rolling everywhere. This fella addressed himself as master, he should be pretty strong to address himself like this? Mo Wuji appeared as though he didn¡¯t hear anything as he took a step forward, ready to step onto the Heaven Calamity Stone. Just as Mo Wuji was about to step onto the Heaven Calamity Stone, a cold radiance pierced through space and was shot directly through Mo Wuji¡¯s back. A type of killing intent diffused with death immediately invaded Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and as much as Mo Wuji wanted to step onto the Heaven Calamity Stone, he had no choice but to stop in his tracks. His Tian Ji Pole turned into endless pole shadows to clash with that cold radiance. There was a violent explosion of elemental energy and the space was temporarily blasted into shadows of radiance by the clash of elemental energy. As if it could sense Mo Wuji¡¯s sudden decrease in speed, the Heaven Calamity Stone actually stopped all of a sudden. When a massive stone with a three meters radius was suspended in mid air and emitting faint spirituality aura, even a clueless person would be able to tell that this was definitely a great item from heaven. Obstructing Mo Wuji was a fellow who was also in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage and he looked incredibly strong too. Mo Wuji knew that if he wanted to undergo tribulation on the Heaven Calamity Stone peacefully, he had to first get rid of this guy. This Nihility God Stage cultivator actually had the same thoughts as Mo Wuji as both of them drew out their spiritual weapon and charged towards each other almost simultaneously.

It was a tower-like object but calling it a pagoda would feel like the name lacked the prowess it displayed. "Boom!" The elemental energy between these two spiritual equipments were constantly exploding and as Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole continued to strike against this pagoda-like spiritual equipment, each strike was more crazy and vicious than the previous one. Fortunately, this battle was in space otherwise, the surrounding would have been blasted into a huge, deep gulley. Shuai Guo had already escaped and hid in a corner far away to observe this incredible fight. Mo Wuji was actually shocked even though he wasn¡¯t having a battle with a True God Stage cultivator. He had opened 105 meridians and was in the Nihility God Stage Level 12 yet not a single blow was capable of holding this same stage cultivator back. Just how strong was this cultivator? There were indeed countless of capable people appearing in this vast universe every moment of the day so even if he were to open 108 meridians in the future, he must not look down on anyone. The truth was that while Mo Wuji was busy feeling shocked, this fellow Mo Wuji was fighting was feeling even more astonished. Where did such a strong Nihility God Stage Cultivator appear from? One move and he was sent flying away. Mo Wuji had no idea that the name of this fella fighting against him was Gong Yejian and he was a top class expert of the Star King Mountain, ranked number 6 on the Earth Board. Gong Yejian knew that in the entire Zhen Xing, no cultivator below the True God Stage would be able to send him flying in one move, not even the ranked number 1 on the Earth Board. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care much as he saw by the corner of his eye that the Heaven Calamity Stone was getting further away with even more cultivators chasing after it. At this point, if he didn¡¯t get rid of this obstacle in front of him, he would have made a wasted trip. The Tian Ji Pole turned into a sky full of pole shadows as they pierced through space towards Gong Yejian. Gong Yejian no longer treated Mo Wuji as a normal Nihility God Stage cultivator because the moment he swung out his pagoda, the pagoda soared up immediately and countless of light beams were shot down from the pagoda. Mo Wuji could instantly feel the pulling force in space as Gong Yejian¡¯s pagoda beam could not only control the space in the universe but also a brought with it a force to pull the opponent¡¯s elemental energy towards him. This didn¡¯t affect Mo Wuji much and because Mo Wuji wanted to end this battle as soon as possible, his body swayed with the wind past the pagoda¡¯s beam. He swung his Tian Ji Pole once again and this time, even the 4th level of the Zhuan Stage of the Revolving Star Passage was activated. Gong Jianye was feeling pleased as he saw Mo Wuji actually dared to charge directly into his own pagoda¡¯s beams. He enjoyed fighting enemies as arrogant as Mo Wuji was because the moment he charged into his pagoda¡¯s beams, Gong Jianye would have already had control over half of Mo Wuji¡¯s little life. Even if his opponent was too strong for him to kill, he would at least be able to injure him heavily. His pagoda¡¯s beams were capable of directly restraining the opponent¡¯s elemental energy and even a higher cultivation level expert would not dare to barge into his pagoda¡¯s beams so recklessly without any precautionary measures. However, he was completely stunned in the very next moment. Mo Wuji was completely unaffected by the beams of his space pagoda as his Tian Ji Pole had already turned into millions of pole shadows in front of him. Following which, he could feel that his space beams within his space pagoda was being manipulated by this man in front of him as it immediately disappeared into the universe. Gong Yejian had no idea what methods Mo Wuji used but he was sure that it was definitely not a normal technique and it could even be a type of pseudo-sacred art. Hurry up and run! Just as Gong Yejian wanted to dodge Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole and retreat immediately, he suddenly couldn¡¯t see the Tian Ji Pole as it disappeared. Not good, Gong Yejian had many years of fighting experience and he even grew up in places often filled with many dead bodies. Presently, he didn''t care where Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole would land as he quickly recovered all his space pagoda¡¯s beams to protect the vital parts of his body first. "Bang!" As the Tian Ji Pole struck against the pagoda, a large amount of elemental energy surged through and Gong Yejian instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. The severely injured Gong Yejian no longer dared to continue fighting Mo Wuji as he turned around instantaneously and was soon over 10 feets away from Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect Gong Yejian to be able to block his pole at the most crucial moment so he concluded that this fella was rather decent. After he successfully cultivated his Next Pole technique, this was the first time it was blocked by someone. If Mo Wuji wanted to kill Gong Yejian, he could just do it immediately but his focus now wasn¡¯t on Gong Yejian as he charged directly to the Heaven Calamity Stone that was getting even further away from him. There were even more cultivators coming in from all four directions towards the Heaven Calamity Stone and Mo Wuji¡¯s level 7 Wind Escape Technique was put to good use here. Just like an arrow of wind, Mo Wuji flew past everyone in front of him as one of his legs landed on the periphery of the Heaven Calamity Stone. Yet another blade radiance flew through space towards Mo Wuji and Mo Wuji had no choice but to withdraw the leg that was so close to the Heaven Calamity Stone as he turned and stared at the fella who shot out that blade radiance. Because the moment one of Mo Wuji¡¯s leg was on the Heaven Calamity Stone, it came to a complete stop. The person who ambushed Mo Wuji was a slender youth with beautiful features. This youth hung a long blade on his back and because the blade wasn¡¯t in his hands, it appeared as though he wasn¡¯t the one who acted against Mo Wuji. What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that after the tens of cultivators saw this man, they were no longer interested in chasing after the Heaven Calamity Stone. In fact, they went subconsciously retreated far away before coming to a halt themselves. At this moment, yet another shadow flew by. This person was clearly using a Wind Escape Talisman and his speed was not any slower than Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique. Mo Wuji knew that this was yet another Nihility God Stage Level 9 expert just by looking at his aura. At the moment Mo Wuji was ready to block against this incoming Nihility God Stage cultivator, yet another blade radiance was shot out. A stream of blood splattered out and very soon, two cultivators that were initially rushing towards the Heaven Calamity Stone finally stopped as they were turned into corpses. Mo Wuji knew that it was an attack from the slender young man and that this fella should be in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage but he couldn¡¯t tell specifically if he was in the Nihility God Stage Level 10. This was because the spirituality around him was not very evident. At this moment, this fella¡¯s long blade was still on his back and just like before, it didn¡¯t look like he was the one who made the move. Mo Wuji grew suspicious and confirmed that this man would make a decent rival. This Nihility God Stage cultivator didn¡¯t even glance at Mo Wuji as he said coldly to the tens of incoming advanced stage of the Nihility God Stage cultivators, "I, Li Xiuran, am using the Heaven Calamity Stone. Wherever you came from, please head back there." As he spoke, an intense surge of aura filled the entire place and even Mo Wuji was entangled within it. He was sure that this fella¡¯s aura had even reached the realm of the True God Stage. Arrogant speech coupled with his insanely arrogant display of aura made the surrounding Nihility God Stage cultivators took many steps back. The numerous cultivators who knew that they no longer had any hope of getting the Heaven Calamity Stone turned and left immediately. There were still some cultivators who retreated but didn¡¯t leave as they stood and watched the Heaven Calamity Stone from far away. Perhaps they wanted to see how Li Xiuran was going to undergo his heavenly tribulation and could use him as a reference for the future. Yet another group of cultivators came and stopped at the sight of Li Xiuran. Li Xiuran then turned his head slowly and glared at Mo Wuji, "On the fact that you could dodge my blade, I will have mercy on your little life, scram." "You are the little one, my house¡¯s master only need one strike of his pole to kill you," Shuai Guo, which was watching from afar, saw Mo Wuji¡¯s pole against Gong Yejian so it started to speak arrogantly like Li Xiuran. As for the term ¡®master¡¯, didn¡¯t this bird learn it from Gong Yejian¡¯s mouth earlier on? It saw that Gong Yejian addressed himself as master so he assumed that Mo Wuji might like this address too. Otherwise, why would that fellow address himself like that? From this moment on, it not only decided to address Mo Wuji as master, it made his decision to stay with his big master in the future. The surrounding cultivators were all just preparing to watch Li Xiuran undergo his Heavenly Tribulation on the Heaven Calamity Stone so they were also astonished to see someone actually had the guts to fight against Li Xiuran for the Heaven Calamity Stone. In actual fact, many years ago, even though a lot of people chased after Mo Wuji, the number of people who had actually seen him was not that many. Furthermore, after cultivating in the Extreme Frost Sea for all these years, Mo Wuji had already grown an extra beard. Li Xiuran was ranked number one on the Earth Board so his strength would naturally be able to go against a True God Stage expert. One example would be how he killed an expert in the Great Circle of the Nihility God Stage earlier on. Additionally, backing Li Xiuran was an even more formidable source of support. His mentor was someone even the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain had to give some face to. In other words, it could be said that in this place, nobody ever dared to attack Li Xiuran. Hearing Shuai Guo¡¯s cursing and remarks, Li Xiuran¡¯s face turn ugly as the long blade on his back immediately landed in his hand and shot out a blade radiance. "Boom!" The blade radiance didn¡¯t split the arrogant Shuai Guo into two but was blocked by a normal, ordinary looking metal pole. Mo Wuji landed in front of Li Xiuran, and said in a cold tone, "Your opponent shall be me, do not bully my pet¡­" As he spoke, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Nirvana Pole Shadows had spread across and covered the entire sky. After acquiring his Nirvana Pole Shadows, Mo Wuji no longer simply relied on his brute force to use his pole. Every shadow of his Nirvana Pole Shadows was capable enough to restrain the other party and his real killing strike would be the Next Pole which even Mo Wuji had no idea when it would appear. The fact that Mo Wuji only needed one strike of his pole to break his blade radiance made Li Xiuran shocked and mad. He was shocked that Mo Wuji was actually so strong to be able to destroy his normally sure-kill blade radiance in one strike of his pole. He was mad because he had lost count of the number of years since a cultivator of the same stage dared to go against him. The instance Li Xiuran mentioned his name already proved his existence as the ranked number 1 on the Earth Board and even a True God Stage expert would need to be polite to him. Presently, Li Xiuran didn¡¯t know where this fella had come from and without mentioning the fact that he dared to snatch the Heaven Calamity Stone, this fella was simply courting death to actually dare to attack him. Li Xiuran didn¡¯t even bother to ask where Mo Wuji was from as his body shifted and the long blade in his hand was swung head first at Mo Wuji. Others might think that this strike was very simple but this blade brought along a tremendous amount of force that it could potentially split the space into two. Mo Wuji pulled his gaze back because he knew that no matter how strong Li Xiuran was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to split the space into two here while being at Nihility God Stage. Perhaps, this was because his blade force had already advanced into a type of blade ethereal stage, capable of elusively penetrating the opponent¡¯s mind. Chapter 335: I Don’t Care Who You Are Chapter 335: I Don¡¯t Care Who You Are Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations If it were against any other cultivators, Li Xiuran¡¯s space splitting blade force would have directly affected the other party¡¯s mind and could even cause his primordial spirit to enter a trance and eventually injuring him. However, Mo Wuji had a vast sea of consciousness and a solid state of the huge violet lake. Ever since his first meridian, Mo Wuji had been through countless of life and death incidents and most importantly, Mo Wuji had yet to cultivate his primordial spirit. Even though he was in the Nihility God Stage, he only had the huge violet lake as well as violet elemental energy. Without his primordial spirit, even if his mind entered a trance, it wouldn¡¯t blur out much of his spiritual will. Despite the strong force from Li Xiuran¡¯s blade, it could only suay his mind slightly. As he brandished his Tian Ji Pole, it struck directly against Li Xiuran¡¯s sharp blade force. "Boom!" Insane amount of elemental energy from both parties continued to clash against each other as the onlookers were getting even more astonished by the minute. This fella, who wanted to snatch the Heaven Calamity Stone, could actually match Li Xiuran and was not any much weaker than him. Where on earth did this Nihility God Stage cultivator appeared from? The majestic elemental energy surged over like waves in a stormy sea as Li Xiuran could only watch blankly at his own blade force being countered back at him. Presently, Li Xiuran was feeling astonished because there was actually a Nihility God Stage cultivator capable of matching him evenly head on. Moreover, the opponent didn¡¯t even wait for his blade force to split anything before destroying it. It was only till this moment that he realised how true his mentor¡¯s words were. Back then his mentor once told him, ¡®There is bound to be someone stronger than you out in space and you simply haven¡¯t met him.¡¯ He was initially still doubtful over this sentence but it seemed like this was the case now even before he could leave this piece of universe. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole shadows continued its motion and just as it was about to strike, Mo Wuji realised that the previously stationary Heaven Calamity Stone started moving again. The moment the Heaven Calamity Stone moved again, this would signify that it would move even faster than before and not stop for him anymore. Mo Wuji¡¯s main purpose here was not to kill Li Xiuran but to step onto the Heaven Calamity Stone. Now that the Heaven Calamity Stone started moving again, why would Mo Wuji continue to care about Li Xiuran as he shifted his body and immediately turned into a strong wind, landing on the Heaven Calamity Stone. Just as Li Xiuran was getting hold of the situation, he wouldn¡¯t just let Mo Wuji go when he saw Mo Wuji heading away. Sure enough, Li Xiuran followed Mo Wuji onto the Heaven Calamity Stone. The second Mo Wuji stepped onto the Heaven Calamity Stone, he could feel the surge of dense spiritual energy flowing into him. The cultivation level which he spent a year trying to improve immediately rose. The spirit ring within his body became clear and the violet spirituality within him even seeped out to his body. This was the first time Mo Wuji felt the true strength of the Earth Realm. At the same time, Mo Wuji realised the use of his 105th meridian which happened to be a spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji had no idea that spiritual will could even be stored within his meridian. Even though Mo Wuji had no idea how useful the spirit storage channel would be, he guessed that it wouldn¡¯t be any weaker than his previous few meridians. An enormous aura rushed over and there seemed to be a shackle within his dao insights waiting for him to unlock. As long as he could unlock that shackle, he would be able to step onto a new stage and face a brand new world. Mo Wuji let out a breath because he knew that this shackle was the Heaven Realm shackle and he was about to step into the True God Stage. In the Lost Continent, countless of cultivators were constantly looking for the Flower of the True Gods so they could step into the True God Stage. Even though he didn¡¯t have any Flower of the True Gods, he met the Heaven Calamity Stone. The Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s induction towards Heaven Realm was much clearer than the Lost Continent¡¯s. "You are indeed in the Extreme Earth Realm¡­" There were traces of violent killing intent in Li Xiuran¡¯s eyes after he landed opposite Mo Wuji. His heart was shocked because not only was Mo Wuji in the Extreme Earth Realm, his Extreme Earth Realm¡¯s spirituality was extremely clear and there was even more hidden strength within his spirit rings. Li Xiuran was not a newbie who knew nothing at all because he was clearly aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s strength at the Extreme Earth Realm could even be stronger than his own Extreme Earth Realm. Ever since he started cultivating, this was Li Xiuran¡¯s first time seeing someone on the same cultivation level as himself restrained him for a few consecutive moves. Mo Wuji was about to undergo his heavenly lightning tribulation so why would he have the time to bother about Li Xiuran¡¯s rubbish. This Heaven Calamity Stone was meant for him to use and he initially didn¡¯t bother killing Li Xiuran but since the other party was so willing to die, he could just go and die. Tian Ji Pole brought about a sky full of pole shadows as it charged towards Li Xiuran. "Boom boom boom!" Multiple electroballs were shot out towards Li Xiuran at the same moment the pole shadows descended. Mo Wuji made his decision to land the death blow because there was no longer any reason for him to give chance. This concerned his future achievements and furthermore, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really like this guy. "You actually possess lightning affinity spiritual roots¡­" Li Xiuran could only say halfway as he realised that Mo Wuji became much stronger than before once again. Previously, his opponent was only slightly stronger than himself and if Mo Wuji dared to come up to him, Li Xiuran would still be able to kill him with his blade technique. However, he was even suspicious and worried that his blade technique might not be able to kill Mo Wuji now. This was also the first time since he started cultivating that he suspected his own strength in killing a same stage cultivator. He had even won a battle with True God Stage experts and it wasn¡¯t even as tough as this one against Mo Wuji. "Boom boom boom!" The space engulfing blade screen continuously clashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s Nirvana Pole Shadows on the Heaven Calamity Stone as elemental energy and blade radiance couldn¡¯t stop exploding. The crowd of cultivators outside the Heaven Calamity Stone were all astonished and discussing who on earth was this Mo Wuji and why wasn¡¯t there a character like him on the Earth Board yet. After another ten breath, Li Xiuran knew that it would be difficult for him to rely on his strength to kill Mo Wuji. Even though he still had a few killer techniques which he hadn¡¯t execute, he was afraid that the moment he used them, he might not be able to finish Mo Wuji off and could even fall in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. At the thought of this, Li Xiuran swung his blade and with one touch of his storage ring, he managed to grab a talisman. In just half a breath worth of time, this talisman was ignited by him into a white fog swarming towards Mo Wuji. The surrounding started to turn cold as this cold increased in intensity by several folds the very next moment. In just a few seconds later, this entire place was almost frozen by this terrifying cold. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole shadows stopped momentarily and Mo Wuji seemed to be locked in space with a face full of fear. Li Xiuran sneered because with his grade 8 Frozen Domain Talisman, no matter how strong the opponent was, they would end up crawling at him. This one talisman was worth half of Li Xiuran¡¯s entire net worth. The strength of this one move was equivalent to a Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert¡¯s Frozen Domain Technique. Even though Li Xiuran¡¯s Frozen Domain Talisman had already froze the entire space, Li Xiuran¡¯s long blade was still able to swing out blade radiance as it pierced through the Frozen Domain Talisman towards Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead. Mo Wuji was too incredibly strong so Li Xiuran¡¯s heart won¡¯t feel at ease if he didn¡¯t finish him off properly. If he could be this strong at the Nihility God Stage, what would happen if he reached the True God Stage? "Kacha!" The blade radiance shadow sliced Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead into two but Li Xiuran¡¯s heart felt cold. He had killed countless of people but the feeling was definitely not the same as killing Mo Wuji. Indeed when the shadow moved, it fell onto the ground like crushed ice. Not good, when Li Xiuran thought of this, he could heard a bone crushing sound behind his back. The Tian Ji Pole struck the back of his chest and his entire backbones broke into pieces. All his organs were severely injured too. If he wasn¡¯t wearing an armour, his waist would have broken into two. He had zero clue when this pole approached him. "You¡­" Li Xiuran looked horrifyingly at Mo Wuji as his grade 8 Frozen Domain Talisman was actually not able to restrain him. Exactly which realm is that fella in ? Could he be in the Great Circle of the True God Stage? Not possible if he was in the Great Circle of the True God Stage, Mo Wuji should have crushed him from the start. Even though Li Xiuran was ranked number 1 on the Earth Board, he wasn¡¯t strong enough to actually go against a real True God Stage expert. Mo Wuji laughed in his heart because if it was any other grade 8 talisman, he could really have been stuck and killed by this fella. Frozen Domain Talisman, an ice attribute talisman was actually the last thing he would be afraid of. After being stuck in the Extreme Frost Sea for five-six years, what coldness had he not experienced? His Scholar¡¯s Heart allowed him to move freely even in the Frozen Domain Talisman. This fella was so strong that if he didn¡¯t use the talisman, Mo Wuji would actually need quite a fair bit of time to settle him. Now that this fella was courting death, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t stand on any ceremony. He swung his Tian Ji Pole towards Li Xiuran once again. Li Xiuran took out his long blade in a berserk manner and said, "I am the disciple of Master Wu Xiang and you dare to kill me. You have to die¡­" At this moment, Li Xiuran was full of regret because if he didn¡¯t use the Frozen Domain Talisman and used Wu Xiang¡¯s blade technique he might have a chance against Mo Wuji. However, it was all too late as he even suspected if his Frozen Domain Talisman was truly at grade 8. "Boom, kacha!" Tian Ji Pole landed directly on Li Xiuran¡¯s long blade as it swept it off the Heaven Calamity Stine. Following which, the Tian Ji Pole landed on the top of Li Xiuran¡¯s head as blood splattered everywhere. Li Xiuran simply didn¡¯t wish to resign to his fate like this. He was ranked number one on the Earth Board, a genius among geniuses with Master Wu Xiang as his mentor. As long as he could step into the Heaven Realm, his potential would be limitless. However, it was simply too infuriating for him to die in the hands of this nameless cultivator today. Mo Wuji killed Li Xiuran with the strike of his pole and immediately retrieved his storage ring before kicking him off the Heaven Calamity Stone. So what if you¡¯re the disciple of Master Wu Xiang? Even if he was the disciple of the Star Lord, Mo Wuji would kill mercilessly as well. Furthermore, Mo Wuji had no idea who on earth Master Wu Xiang was. "Boom! Ka! Ka! Ka! Ka!" It was at the same moment when Mo Wuji killed Li Xiuran that Mo Wuji underwent his heavenly lightning tribulation as he kicked Li Xiuran off the Heaven Calamity Stone. The onlookers, who were observing the intense fight between Mo Wuji and Li Xiuran, ended up with wide opened mouths as they couldn¡¯t believe that the ranked number one on the Earth Board actually lost to a same cultivation level cultivator. Not only this, after being killed, Li Xiuran was thrown away like a rubbish. Shuai Guo was calling out in a pompous manner, "You are one dead person if you dare to fight with my house¡¯s master." Even though everyone knew that Shuai Guo¡¯s class was low, some people could tell that Shuai Guo was not that simple. Presently, nobody dared to have the thought of attacking Shuai Guo because nobody was foolish enough to mess with a person who had the guts and abilities to kill Li Xiuran over a bird. Chapter 336: Mo Wuji’s Lightning Tribulation Chapter 336: Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Tribulation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before the first lightning bolt could land on him, Mo Wuji already shot out multiple electroballs. Since the time that he opened his first meridian, he had survived many hits from such lightning bolts before. But even though he did not fear lightning strikes, this was a heavenly tribulation after all, so who knew how strong the lightning bolts would be? He did not make any preparations for this heavenly tribulation, even not possessing a single decent piece of defensive spiritual equipment. Moreover, he had witnessed a Class 6 demonic beast undergoing a real lightning tribulation in the Five Elements Desolate Domain. That scene remained fresh in his mind even till this day. "Crack crack crack!" Mo Wuji¡¯s electroballs collided with the falling lightning bolts, causing flashes of light to explode out. The lightning bolts from above immediately blew Mo Wuji¡¯s to bits, and landed on him without being obstructed at all. "Crack! Crack!" The crisp sound of Mo Wuji¡¯s bones breaking could be heard. One of the lightning bolts even created a wound that ran from his forehead all the way to his chin. Facing such a terrifying lightning tribulation, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. How would he survive this? This was just the first round of lightning bolts, and who knew how many more awaited him. The Heaven Calamity Stone gave off a glow of spirituality, and with the lightning tribulation¡¯s explosions added on top of that, Mo Wuji, who was undergoing heavenly tribulation on the stone was completely concealed. All of the people outside did not know what Mo Wuji¡¯s situation was, and if they knew that he was blown half to death by the first lightning bolt, some of them might have prepared to take action against him. "Boom! Crack¡­" As he just took a few healing pills, the second wave of lightning bolts came pouring down. Mo Wuji clenched his teeth, and produced countless pole shadows to form a blockade while he tried to use the Reverse Circulation Technique to the maximum for absorbing the lightning essence within. There was no escaping the lightning tribulation. One could only endure through it. "Boom boom boom boom!" Dense flashes of lightning landed on Tian Ji Pole¡¯s pole shadows, causing the pole shadows to instantly fade into smoke. A large swath of lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body once again, which put his bones through another round of breaking. However, Mo Wuji was using all 105 meridians to execute the Reverse Circulation Technique at once, and focused on absorbing the lightning essence, hence the damage from the lightning tribulation, while still quite great, did not threaten his life anymore. A mere ten breaths time later, the third wave of lightning bolts rained down. The Tian Ji Pole swung out for the second time, forming endless Nirvana Pole Shadows, and at the same time, Mo Wuji wobbled his way up. If he just sat on the floor and allowed the lightning tribulation to carry on striking him, even if he succeeded in it, death definitely would be waiting for him. At this point he was keeping his body up just based on his elemental energy and spiritual will, as the bones in his legs were practically gone. Thick lightning bolts continued to strike the Tian Ji Pole¡¯s pole shadows, which caused them to break down even faster than before. Mo Wuji did not care about the lightning bolts that fell, creating various seals with his hands, and activating his 105 meridians for reverse circulation to the extreme. It was surely impossible to fight such a lightning tribulation head on, so the best option was to absorb the lightning essence in it. Mysterious hand seals flashed by like a shiny illusion array, forming circle after circle of ripples around Mo Wuji. These ripples eventually formed the rough figure of a giant dragon. At this moment, he had already unleashed the Revolving Star Passage Technique to the first level of the Xing Stage, the Dragon Rising Star Shift. "Crack!" With Mo Wuji¡¯s hand seals, the lightning bolts that broke Tian Ji Pole¡¯s pole shadows suddenly changed direction, directly impacting the ground at his feet. The strength of these lightning bolts were reduced to a minimum, which made it the most ideal point for absorbing the lightning essences. All of the lightning bolts surrounding Mo Wuji¡¯s body began being soaked up by him like rainwater on a sponge, ceaselessly flowing into him. This sort of lightning bolt brought with it spiritual energy of a higher quality that that in a spirit pith, and Mo Wuji could clearly feel an insane rise in his cultivation level, and the shackles that held him back began to crack. At the same time, his broken bones rapidly healed under the nourishment of this spiritual energy. Seemingly sensing that Mo Wuji had diverted the lightning bolts away, the lightning tribulation became even stronger. Thunder roared and lightning flashed in space, and the fourth wave of lightning surged at him, like an ocean sweeping over the Heaven Calamity Stone. At this moment, all cultivators standing around the Heaven Calamity Stone were stunned. What kind of lightning tribulation was this? Why was it so extreme for a someone merely advancing to True God Stage ? "This guy shouldn¡¯t be in the Great Circle of Nihility God Stage right? Otherwise how could there be such a terrifying lightning tribulation? I¡¯ve seen the lightning tribulation of a Worldly Immortal before, and it wasn¡¯t much compared to this." "I also think that this person doesn¡¯t seem like he¡¯s in the Nihility God Stage, since Li Xiuran was rank 1 on the Earth Board. Li Xiuran defeated a True God Stage Level 1 expert before, and no matter how strong a Nihility God Stage cultivator might be, he would not be a match for such a fierce man." Now the number of cultivators that came crowding around to watch Mo Wuji undergo tribulation kept growing and growing, and their discussions became increasingly intense. As for the matter of Mo Wuji snatching the Heaven Calamity Stone, no one cared about it anymore. Even if the Heaven Calamity Stone were in one¡¯s possession, who would dare to step forward in the face of such lightning bolts and seek almost certain death? "No, I dare say that this man is not undergoing a Worldly Immortal lightning tribulation, but an authentic True God lightning tribulation." A different voice in the crowd spoke out. "Why do you think so? Have you seen such an extreme True God lightning tribulation?" Immediately, someone retorted. Another long haired man spoke in a low voice, "I don¡¯t know what lightning tribulation he is undergoing, but I definitely would not be able to take one like this." Many people recognised this long haired man, who was a real True God Stage Level 2 expert. A True God lightning tribulation that even a True God Stage Level 2 expert could not bear with; as such this could really have been a Worldly Immortal lightning tribulation. The cultivator that previously confirmed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t going through a Worldly Immortal lightning tribulation shook his head and said, "Because I know who this person is." "Who is he?" Upon hearing this, almost everyone asked frantically. The whole crowd stared at this cultivator, obviously waiting to find out who was undergoing the heavenly tribulation. One had to know that this was the person that had killed Li Xiuran, so if he was really in Nihility God Stage, then he would definitely be rank 1 on the Earth Board after that. "I¡¯m not sure what his name is, but I know that he should be Rogue Cultivator 2705." Seeing that the surrounding people looked upon him with confused looks, he added on, "I believe that everyone should not be unfamiliar with the past Mortal Board rank 1, Gu Shaoyi?" Naturally, Gu Shaoyi was not a stranger to anyone, as he was once considered only second to Li Xiuran. It was a pity that he was actually defeated by a cultivator of the same level after making a trip to the Lost Continent, and gave away his title of rank 1 on the Mortal Board, returning shamefully. ¡­ Hmm, wait, wasn¡¯t it Rogue Cultivator 2705 that defeated Gu Shaoyi? Could it really be this guy? "That¡¯s not right, how long has it been since Rogue Cultivator 2705 defeated Gu Shaoyi? No matter how fast he cultivates, he can¡¯t really be undergoing the True God lightning tribulation this quickly right?" "Who says that it¡¯s not possible? Can you remember that some time ago, Rogue Cultivator 2705 actually went onto the Earth Board, and also killed Fu Zhize, taking over rank 9831. "Something like that actually happened? Could this really be Rogue Cultivator 2705 that came from the Lost Continent? Oh right, how are you so sure that this is Rogue Cultivator 2705?" This last sentence was directed towards the cultivator that claimed that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705. The cultivator stared at the flashes of lightning around them, and Heaven Calamity Stone where the lightning never stopped, before saying, "Because he was using a metal pole, and Gu Shaoyi was defeated by one." "That¡¯s right, Rogue Cultivator 2705 indeed uses a metal pole." Hearing this cultivator¡¯s explanation, everyone immediately felt that this made perfect sense. Someone continued, "Gu Shaoyi never recovered after his defeat by Rogue Cultivator 2705. If he finds out that even Li Xiuran has been killed by Rogue Cultivator 2705, it would probably be a piece of comforting news. Who knows, he may even revert back to his original genius state." "Ha ha, a cultivator that can¡¯t even accept a single defeat won¡¯t amount to much even after recovering. The person that comes to mind is the Yan Clan¡¯s Yan Yangnan though, who exclaimed that he regretted not being able to fight Rogue Cultivator 2705 when he obtained rank 1 on the Mortal Board. Once he finds out that Rogue Cultivator 2705 killed Li Xiuran, and had such a terrifying lightning tribulation, he would probably secretly celebrate that Rogue Cultivator 2705 never crossed paths with him." Even though the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level here was at the advanced Nihility God Stage, but rank 1 of the Mortal Board was still something they took note of. ¡­ Mo Wuji could not hear any of the discussions that happened on the outside, and before the fourth wave of lightning landed on him, he could feel a strong sense of impending danger, as the thick lightning bolts actually carried killing intent with them. Before he could react, large swaths of lightning bolts had already struck him. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s Revolving Star Passage Technique had already reached the Xing word¡¯s first level, Dragon Rising Star Shift, the recently healed bones in his legs tore apart rapidly. To his surprise, he could not feel the lightning essence within the lightning bolts, and only boundless killing intent from them flowed into his body. Even his meridians showed slight cracks. This riled him up. How was this some lightning tribulation, it was simply an attempt at his life. All of the elemental energy stored in the three elemental storage channels were drawn out at this instant, forming elemental energy shields one after another, trying to block out the killing intent that was tearing his meridians apart. Those lightning bolts seemed to possess a will of its own, and actually circumvented Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy shields, continuing its assault on his meridians. As Mo Wuji had 105 meridians, even if a few were torn, it would not cause his cultivation to drop by much. However, it was not easy to open all 105 of them, so how could he allow the lightning tribulation to destroy everything? He had never heard of lightning bolts from tribulations that specifically targeted meridians, so thankfully he still had a spirit storage channel. The spiritual will in the spirit storage channel was mobilised, and the elemental energy shields came alive in all of the meridians, constantly blocking off the killing intent from the lightning bolts, not allowing a single meridians to be destroyed. To Mo Wuji, he would rather have all of the bones in his body shattered and regrown, than to allow any damage to his meridians. For someone like him that did not have spiritual roots, the meridians in his body was his foundation. Chapter 337: Consecutive Changes To Earth Board’s Rank 1 Chapter 337: Consecutive Changes To Earth Board¡¯s Rank 1 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When all of the killing intent of the lightning bolts that entered Mo Wuji¡¯s body had been blocked off, he was already paralysed on the ground, with no way to stand up. The only upside was that he could finally feel the top quality spiritual energy, and at this moment even without cultivating, his cultivation level was increasing wildly. At the same time, his broken bones were healing rapidly. This was the benefit of enduring the fourth wave of lightning tribulation, and Mo Wuji took this chance to suck in all of the spiritual energy he could grasp at an insane rate. The spiritual energy was brought down by the lightning tribulation, hence it was not something that Zhen Mo Continent and the surrounding space could compare to. Such spiritual energy could not only cleanse his body, but his meridians too. A mere ten breaths later, Mo Wuji could barely stand up. The fifth wave of lightning tribulation also came pouring down, however he felt as though as his body had just freed itself from some sort of restraint. His meridians were bursting with elemental energy, like a volcano about to erupt. A strong sense of determination welled up from within, as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will spread out, covering a radius of many kilometres. At this point, his sea of consciousness was growing wildly, and his violet energy lake was expanding, while the elemental energy within it kept condensing. The reverse circulation of 105 meridians formed a solid major circulation, allowing him to feel as though his strength improved by leaps and bounds every second. What was different from other True God Stage cultivators was the absence of condensing a primordial spirit, but Mo Wuji was feeling very emotional. He knew that he had just crossed over from Nihility God Stage to True God Stage Level 1. Now was the time for him to consolidate his cultivation, and to steadily raise it. It didn¡¯t matter if he didn¡¯t have a primordial spirit, as long as he was strong. Following Mo Wuji¡¯s crazy increase in strength, the Heaven Calamity Stone at his feet began to break apart. The fifth wave of lightning tribulation was no weaker than the fourth, just that Mo Wuji was now much stronger than before, so he could effortlessly withstand this wave of lightning tribulation. "Boom boom boom¡­" Mo Wuji just underwent the fifth wave of lightning tribulation, and the sixth arrived, but this wave posed no threat to him at al. He did not even bother weilding the Tian Ji Pole, simply using the reversing circulation technique to attempt to absorb this sixth wave. "Crack!" The Heaven Calamity Stone completely cracked into pieces, while a sort of mysterious aura hung about Mo Wuji. Immediately, he closed his eyes, allowing the sixth wave of lightning to strike his flesh. At this moment, he saw a world much wider than before. ¡­ At the same time, on the large plaza of Nine Mo City, a 12 to 13 year old girl stared at the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Boards with her eyes and mouth wide open, as though as she saw something mysterious. Even though the volume of human traffic flwoing through Nine Mo City was rather large, but as the three boards had been there for too long a time, most people would simply walk past them without taking a look. On top of that, the Half Moon Immortal Palace was about to appear, hence most of the cultivators passing through Nine Mo City were on their way to Piercing Wind City, then from there travelling to Universal Hall. So who would bother with the three boards? Moreover, one could see the three boards in Universal Hall too. There was only one person that stared at the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Boards like that: the little girl. "Qing¡¯Er, let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to Piercing Wind City now." Two women walked over from afar. One of them was a young lady with an aura of nobility, and the other was a young girl. The young girl wore a green dress, which accentuated her curvaceous body. The few flowers decorating her hair drew out a refreshing aura from her too. Her porcelain white neck attracted the gaze of many, and once anyone¡¯s laid their eyes on her beautiful face, even the wisest cultivator would exclaim uncontrollably. What an impeccable beauty this was. "Master, sister Xiyue, do you know what I just saw? The Earth Board, rank 1 on the Earth Board¡­" The girl named Qing¡¯Er exclaimed. "Huh, rank 1 of the Earth Board is no longer Li Xiuran, but Lei Hongji. Who is this guy? Why haven¡¯t I heard of him before?" The noblewoman said surprisingly. The pretty young gril spoke excitedly, "Master, I heard that this Lei Hongji is from the Lost Continent. He is also an expert on the Universal Board, already at rank 7000+ on it." The noblewoman nodded her head, and her eyes were filled with fire, " Xiyue, do you know which sect this Lei Hongji is under now?" The girl in a white dress replied, "I heard that he¡¯s under the tutelage of the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, and he possesses lightning affinity spiritual roots. His progress in cultivation is extremely fast." "Good, good¡­" The noblewoman spoke a few words, before smiling, "Originally, i wanted to introduce you to Li Xiuran, but that old monk, Wu Xiang, is simply too difficult to speak with. On top of that, Li Xiuran has always been rather arrogant, and since he¡¯s no longer on the Earth Board, he probably advanced to True God Stage. This Lei Hongji seems quite good, to actually be able to get to rank 1 on the Earth Board. This is a very impressive feat indeed." "Master¡­" The girl in a white dress immediately protested softly after hearing the noblewoman speak, before lowering her head once more. Patting the girl¡¯s hand, the noblewoman carried on, " Listen to master, as women of Tian Chi Manor, we must get married to only the most outstanding of men." "No, no¡­" The young girl at the side began waving her hand as she spoke loudly. "Qing¡¯Er, what do you mean by that?" The noblewoman gazed upon the girl with a puzzled look. ¡®What I¡¯m saying is that the rank 1 person is not Lei hongji, but someone called Rogue Cultivator 2705. The funny thing was that his name was not there for very long before it disappeared. That¡¯s right, before Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s name went up, Li Xiuran was rank 1¡­" The young girl quickly clarified. After finishing her explanation, she felt that it was not very complete, and added on, "This means that the position of rank 1 of the Earth Board changed hands four times within a short span on time." "What exactly is going on? What did you just say? Qing¡¯Er?" The noblewoman frowned. She liked this disciple the most, but why was the young girl¡¯s words so confusing today? She was on the way to visit Nine Mo City¡¯s castellan, and intended to do some shopping in Nine Mo City. However, Qing¡¯Er wanted to stay in Nine Mo City¡¯s plaza to look at the three boards, so she let Qing¡¯Er go as she pleased. How could Qing¡¯Er be spouting nonsense upon her return? The beautiful girl at the side also pulled at the young girl¡¯s hand and asked, "Junior apprentice sister Qing¡¯Er, there¡¯s no rush, explain it to us slowly." At this point, Qing¡¯Er had already calmed down, and slowed down her speaking tempo, "Master, sister Xiyue. When I just arrived, rank 1 on the Earth Board was a guy named Li Xiuran. But not long after, Li Xiuran¡¯s name disappeared, and was replaced by someone named Rogue Cultivator 705. However, around an hour later, Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s name disappeared as well, and changed to someone called Wang Er." When she reached this point, Qing¡¯Er thought that her master did not know who Wang Er was, and made a clarification, " Wang Er was previously rank 2 on the Earth Board, he only remained at rank 1 for a short period of time. Within half an incense¡¯s time, his name disappeared too, and was replaced by Lei Hongji¡¯s. Originally, Han Yumu was rank 2, and now she has become rnak 2¡­" Finally, both of them understood what Qing¡¯Er meant, and they stared at each other in disbelief. "Let¡¯s go to Universal Hall quickly." While this was too weird and coincidental, the noblewoman did not even think that Qing¡¯Er would lie to her. ¡­ On the Universal Hall Challenge Battlestage, Lei Hongji stood calmly in the centre with a few wounds on his body. Wang Er¡¯s corpse lay at Lei Hongji¡¯s feet, and even though he was not a disciple of Star king Mountain, he had a very intimidating title: Earth Board rank 2. By then, he had already challenged and killed Earth Board¡¯s rank 2 on the Challenge Battlestage. Even though Wang Er surrendered in the end, he Lei Hongji did not give him a shred of mercy. In his eyes, the strong reign supreme. Anyone that stood in his way would be eliminated without exception. His next step would be to challenge Li Xiuran. As long as he could reach rank 1, he would immediately start advancing into True God Stage. The moment that Wang Er was killed, the whole Challenge Battlestage erupted into cheers. At this place, there were only champions, no losers. "So strong, yet so young, and he¡¯s able to reach rank 2 on Earth Board, only second to Li Xiuran. On top of that he¡¯s also rank 214 on the Universal Board. This guy is probably going to be the next leader of Star King Mountain I¡¯m afraid." "That¡¯s not confirmed. If I¡¯m not wrong, the next leader of Star King Mountain should be chosen from the three main clans." "Who knows what would be the outcome when Lei Hongji clashes with Li Xiuran?" "Lei Hongji might be strong, but he¡¯s still not up to Li Xiuran¡¯s standard. You must know that Li Xiuran is the most outstanding person from Star King Mountain in the past century, so I believe that he will not be Li Xiuran¡¯s match." As the crowd indulged in their discussion, Lei Hongji slowly descended from the Challenge Battlestage. Regardless of other people¡¯s comments, he was never affected. The only thing he cared about was standing at the peak of whichever cultivation level he was at. One day, Li Xiuran would become another corpse at his feet, and that would convince others much better than any words. "Earth Board¡¯s rank 1 is Lei Hongji, I just received the news." "Indeed, this is as I expected. It seems like Li Xiuran has advanced to the Heaven Realm. What a pity, now we can¡¯t watch the battle between Lei Hongji and Li Xiuran." ¡­ Mo Wuji suddenly closed his eyes and withdrew his spiritual will. A wave of wavering spiritual energy condensed at an area around a meter in front of his forehead, forming a spiritual eye. The spiritual eye seemed to look beyond the nothingness of space and time. Even the background of space was captured, albeit only blurrily. A sense of dizziness began to arise, and Mo Wuji quickly consolidated his thoughts, causing the spiritual eye to disappear Mo Wuji had nothing to say, Advancing to True God Stage was something to rejoice about, and who knew that the Heaven Calamity Stone, which he carried high hopes for, actually allowed him to learn this extra sacred art. Chapter 338: Before The War Chapter 338: Before The War Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After the Lightning Calamity had cleared, Mo Wuji changed into a new set of blue robes and stood within space. Shuai Guo had long seen the opportunity to fly over and had already perched itself on Mo Wuji''s shoulder. Mo Wuji''s gaze swept across the crowd; no one stood forward to tall. At the same time, no one left, they were all seemingly waiting for Mo Wuji to say something. Mo Wuji didn''t know whether any recognised him, but even if they did, he wouldn''t care. Now, he was no longer that fleeing True Lake cultivator. He was a true blue Heaven Realm expert. If they wanted to kill him, they better bring some Worldly Immortals over or they can forget about it. But since when were there so many Worldly Immortals in this world? "I wonder if anyone has a spatial positioning ball and can sell one to me?" Mo Wuji asked in a gentle tone. Hearing that Mo Wuji wanted to buy a spatial positioning ball, multiple cultivators each stood out with a positioning ball in their hands. Among which a grey robed cultivator took an even bigger step forward and directly placed his positioning ball in front of Mo Wuji, "Senior, my spatial positioning ball¡¯s record of locations is very complete. I''ll give it to you." "Many thanks friend, may I ask how many spirit stones does this spatial positioning ball cost?" Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude and accepted the positioning ball. This grey robed man hurriedly waved his hands, "Being able to offer senior my positioning ball is my honour. How can I still accept senior''s spirit stones?" Mo Wuji took a look at the other party¡¯s stance and he knew that giving this cultivator spirit stones would, on the contrary, make this cultivator disappointed. "Many thanks friend. May I know how do I address this friend?" Mo Wuji nodded and kept the positioning ball. The grey robed cultivator clasped his fists and said, "I am Wen Boshi, I''m extremely willing to have served senior." "Then I will accepted Brother Wen''s kindness. We will meet again if fate permits." Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude again, then brought Shuai Guo flying into space, soon disappearing with a trace. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was lamenting over the pursuit those years ago. Regardless of the reason, the root of the problem was that he wasn''t strong enough. Now that he had broke through the Nihility God Stage and ascended to True God Stage Level 1, even if he was recognised, people might not dare act against him. In this sort of place, it''s truly power which speaks reason. After Mo Wuji left, the remaining cultivators all hussled together. Some who knew Wen Boshi had already started congratulating him; being able to earn the favour of an expert like Mo Wuji would definitely be a great help in the Universal Hall. Some even deeply regretted for not acting faster, allowing Wen Boshi to steal the glory. Wen Boshi contentedly mentioned some words of courtesy, saying that he didn''t even need Mo Wuji to help him, and that it was already enough that he got to meet the expert who easily defeated Li Xiuran. "Keke, dao friend Wen, aren''t you worried of incurring Grandmaster Wu Xiang¡¯s wrath? Grandmaster Wu Xiang had previously destroyed entire clans before." At the same time, some people started pouring cold water. Wen Boshi simply said, "I merely loaned put a positioning ball. Would Grandmaster Wu Xiang even care about that meagre act?" Since Wen Boshi had already said this, the other cultivator didn''t have much to say. "That person looks really familiar." "Of course he looks familiar. Because everyone knows that the Mortal Board Rank 1, Rogue Cultivator 2705, also used a steel pole." "No, I feel that he looks from that Mo Wuji from those years ago¡­" "You''re talking about the one who killed Yan Yangdong, wanted by the Yan Clan, then pursued by the coalition of eight great halls, ten over big sects and clans, and even multiple smaller sects? That Mo Wuji?" "Right, that''s him. Even though he no longer has a pale, white face, but one with a huge beard, I still feel that he looks like Mo Wuji." "Keke, isn''t your thinking a little too illogical? No matter how strong Mo Wuji is, to enter the Extreme Frost Sea for so many years, do you think he can still be alive? Not just him, do you think that even an expert at the Great Circle of True God Stage can enter the Extreme Frost Sea and survive?" The cultivator, who recognised Mo Wuji, pondered and also felt that he might have been wrong. Actually, he had also never seen Mo Wuji personally, he only saw a simple visual recording. Now, he didn''t even know where that visual recording had ended up in. After all, Mo Wuji was merely a True Lake cultivator those years ago. Even if Mo Wuji had extreme ice-affinity spiritual roots, entering the Extreme Frost Sea before the Worldly Immortal Stage would only lead to death. Since Mo Wuji was already dead, it meant that this expert who passed his tribulation here at Heaven Calamity Stone wasn''t Mo Wuji. ¡­ The Universal Hall was the most important place in the entire Zhen Mo Continent. This place defended against the invasion of aliens, and a copious amounts of cultivation resources came from space through the Universal Hall. The Universal Hall also had a hall master, but the real person who actually made decisions wasn''t this hall master. Instead, it''s the Star King Mountain and the ten over big sects in Zhen Mo Continent. Seeing that the Half Moon Immortal Palace, which only appeared once every 3000 years, would appear again. The dense clouds of war loomed over the Star Wars Battlefield. Almost all of Zhen Mo Continent''s experts, including the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord and the ten hall masters, had gathered at the Universal Hall''s conference area, Universal Palace. Even though it''s said that the Zhen Mo Continent had ten armies, and that these armies practically belonged to the Star King Mountain, but before any Star War, several of the larger powers will also participate for the conference at Universal Palace. After all, there were experts from these powers within the ten armies. Even a place as strong as the Star King Mountain didn''t have a hold over everything. Within Universal Palace, Star Lord Chi Tong was at the seat of power. The Universal Hall Master Gong Bao, on the other hand, sat below him. The conference had already come to a conclusion, that was during this appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace, all ten armies would be dispatched, no alien cultivators or space beasts were allowed even half a step into the Half Moon Immortal Palace. One must know that the Half Moon Immortal Palace was grand and vast. Besides the 99 dao gates, there were also treasures everywhere. Star Lord Chi Tong looked at the experts within the Universal Palace and sighed inwardly. Even though there were so many experts sitted here today, the warring capabilities would not be as strong as what it might seem. Be it the ten grand halls, the 19 big sects, or even the three great clans, no one was willing to truly fight wholeheartedly for Zhen Mo Continent. Now that the Half Moon Immortal Palace was emerging, everyone''s hearts were probably thinking about how to maximise their benefits from it. "This appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace is cardinal to whether our Zhen Mo Continent can continue to maintain a foothold in this universe. Everyone, I know that some of us sitting here have a half moon key on you. But that¡¯s alright. As long as the Half Moon Immortal Palace''s treasures end up within our Zhen Mo Continent, it¡¯s already a cause for celebration. I only hope that, whether you possess a half moon key or not, everyone would give it your all during the next Star War." Chi Tong''s voice was slightly low-spirited, containing a bit of uncertainty. "Star Lord, Tian Chi Manor''s Manor Lord Yan Huimeng has arrived" The doors to the Universal Palace opened and a Nihility God reported. "Have Manor Lord Yan come in." Chi Tong nodded, speaking with a genial tone. While aware of the fact that the Tian Chi Manor would not be participating in this pre-war conference, the Universal Hall still extended an invitation to them. Even though Tian Chi Manor did not participate in Zhen Mo Continent''s power struggles, no one dared to underestimate Tian Chi Manor. In all of Zhen Mo Continent''s history, almost all of the most gorgeous beauties originated from Tian Chi Manor. This place was truly a beauty haven. And all these beauties from Tian Chi Manor would marry the head of a major power without exception. Even among the hall masters, two of them had dao companions that came from Tian Chi Manor. As for the various big sects, their ties with Tian Chi Manor were even more inextricable. So even though Tian Chi Manor did not participate in any power struggles, it was definitely one of the most influential powers. Even the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord had to be especially courteous with the Tian Chi Manor. As Yan Huimeng brought two disciples into Universal Palace, the eyes of all the experts in Universal Palace lit up. Yan Huimeng herself was an extremely beautiful woman, but her two disciples beside her were simply capable of toppling cities. Being able to attend this conference, which of the people here wasn¡¯t an expert of Zhen Mo Continent? They''ve seen more than a fair share of beauties, but they''ve never seen a matchless beauty like Zhuang Xiyue. It''s truly not an exaggeration that Tian Chi Manor abundant with beauties. "Tian Chi Manor¡¯s Yan Huimeng greets the Star Lord, various hall masters and sect heads. Tian Chi has arrived late for this conference at the Universal Palace. I seek everyone''s forgiveness." Yan Huimeng extremely casually bowed towards the experts in the Universal Palace, she was graceful and her voice was pleasing to the ears. The experts present didn''t dare to nitpick with Yan Huimeng, as they all returned the courtesies. All of them knew that while Tian Chi Manor qualified to take part in such conferences, they wouldn''t even meddle with army affairs. Their arrival here was definitely because of some other incident, or it might also be because of the Half Moon Immortal Palace. "Manor Lord Yan, please take a seat." Chi Tong still maintained his courtesy as he gestured for Yan Huimeng to sit down. Yan Huimeng walked to her designated seat and sat down. Zhuang Xiyue and Qi Qing obediently stood behind her. "Manor Lord Yan, we have already come to a conclusion in our conference. I wonder whether Manor Lord Yan has any further details to add." After Yan Huimeng sat down, Chi Tong asked. When he said this sentence, he didn''t even mention any of their plans for the upcoming war. Even he knew, Yan Huimeng definitely wasn''t here because of the Star Wars. He had never seen the Tian Chi Manor involve itself with the Star Wars, so he wasn''t really concerned with Yan Huimeng¡¯s opinions. Yan Huimeng hurriedly said, "Everyone is naturally more experienced than me. Since we''ve already come to a conclusion, my Tian Chi Manor will naturally agree with it." After saying this sentence which was within everyone''s expectations, Yan Huimeng changed the topic, "I actually wish to congratulate the Star Lord for accepting an outstanding disciple." "Why do you say that?" Chi Tong asked doubtfully. After the conference began, except for a few which had the rights to take part in the conference, a typical small matter wouldn''t be reported. That¡¯s why the matter regarding Lei Hongji snatching the number one position on the Earth Board was not known by not only Chi Tong, but everyone else here as well. Yan Huimeng smiled and said, "Your disciple Lei Hongji is already Rank 1 on the Earth Board. I believe that he would soon face his tribulation and become a true expert of the Heaven Realm." Earth Board Rank 1? After hearing Yan Huimeng¡¯s words, shock struck the hearts of everyone in the Universal Palace. Chapter 339: Grandmaster Wu Xiang Chapter 339: Grandmaster Wu Xiang Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Previously when Lei Hongji was ranked 16, everyone already knew that Lei Hongji was not simple. But they would never have thought that Lei Hongji would actually rise to the number one of the Earth Board. Chi Tong startled and immediately came to a realisation, he chuckled and said, "That kid truly did not let down my expectations. On the other hand, I do wish to congratulate Grandmaster Wu Xiang. It looks like Xiuran has already advanced past the Earth Realm and ascended the True God Stage." The crowd¡¯s gaze turned towards a fat monk sitting on the second seat from the right; this monk was Grandmaster Wu Xiang. Grandmaster Wu Xiang was the hall master of the Star King Mountain''s 10th Hall - Wu Xiang Hall. Even though Wu Xiang Hall was ranked last among the ten halls, no one dared to underestimate this Grandmaster Wu Xiang. The ten eponymous armies were controlled by their corresponding halls. Likewise, Wu Xiang Hall controlled the Wu Xiang Army. Among the ten halls, only Wu Xiang Hall didn¡¯t bear the word ''Star¡¯ in it. Likewise, the Wu Xiang Army was the only cultivator army which didn¡¯t have the word ¡®Star¡¯. Even though the Wu Xiang Army had the smallest number of people, there were some who believed that the Wu Xiang Army¡¯s battle power could rank in the top 3. Being ranked as 10th among the halls was not a reflection of its true power. Moreover, Grandmaster Wu Xiang himself was extremely strong; he¡¯s one of the few experts expected to charge into the Earthly Immortal Stage. Grandmaster Wu Xiang rubbed his bald head, his mouth curved into a smile, looking very simple and honest. However, no one here would think that Grandmaster Wu Xiang was a simple and honest man; he was a grim reaper. Previously, he exterminated three sects and six family clans in a single day. He literally killed an entire river of blood. All that was because one of his disciples had been killed by a member of one of the family clans, and this clan had ties with those sects and other family clans. All of them had incurred his wrath. One can clearly see, when Grandmaster Wu Xiang was infuriated, he could truly be a grim reaper. Yan Huimeng said smilingly, "Star Lord Chi, I only came here today for a minor matter. My disciple Xiyue is already in Nihility God Level 7, and she is intending to temper herself in space. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m worried about her going into space alone. I heard that the Star Lord¡¯s disciple Lei Hongji is a dragon among men. Thus, I specially came to ask whether the two could form a party and venture into space together. That would certainly put me at ease." The moment Yan Huimeng¡¯s words came out, everyone came to an understanding. She was here to matchmake. Since she had already said such words, if Star Lord Chi Tong didn¡¯t consent, it was akin to offending Tian Chi Manor. This Zhuang Xiyue was so beautiful, as long as she wasn¡¯t retarded, anyone would be willing to agree with that request. Moreover, agreeing to this marriage with Tian Chi Manor would be equivalent to having greater power. Unfortunately, only Chi Tong¡¯s and Grandmaster Wu Xiang¡¯s disciple met with the criteria of Tian Chi Manor. Since Grandmaster Wu Xiang''s disciple, Li Xiuran, had already advanced into the True God Stage, and Grandmaster Wu Xiang himself was a man of few words, Tian Chi Manor Lord Yan Huimeng chose Lei Hongji. This was also within everyone''s expectations. The moment Chi Tong heard that, he immediately came to an understanding, chortling as he said, "Being able to earn the appreciation of Manor Lord Yan is Hongji''s fortune. As long as Lady Xiyue agrees, then I will call the shots. Let me get Hongji over and settle this in front of everyone." Zhuang Xiyue was so beautiful. Unless Lei Hongji had some problems with him, he would definitely be willing to be dao companions with Zhuang Xiyue. Chi Tong was also clear that Yan Huimeng mentioned this here in front of everyone so that she could set things in stone. Both sides could not renege on their words. Being able to form ties with Tian Chi Manor was simply a dream come true. Chi Tong immediately sent out a message, and not long later, a message was returned to his communication bead. Chi Tong was slightly apologetic as he said to Yan Huimeng, "After attaining Rank 1 on the Earth Board, Hongji had already started preparing for his tribulation to advance to the True God Stage." Yan Huimeng was full of smiles as she said, "That''s of course. Space is so dangerous; the higher your power, the safer you will be." After saying that, she turned to Zhuang Xiyue, "Xiyue, what do you think about mine and the Star Lord''s suggestions? Of course, you will make your own decisions." Zhuang Xiyue bowed towards Yan Huimeng, then towards Chi Tong who was the seat of power, before saying, "I will leave everything to master to decide." Tian Chi Manor¡¯s most beautiful women were bound to be dao companions with this generation''s most promising men. Before Zhuang Xiyue entered Tian Chi Manor and became Yan Huimeng¡¯s disciple, she had already known that. That''s why for a long time, she would always go look up on matters about some heroic youths. Even though she had never met many people on the Universal Board and the three other boards, she knew much about their origins and stories. This was supposed to be a cause for celebration. However, at this moment, a flying messenger sword rapidly flew into Grandmaster Wu Xiang''s hands. Everyone stared at Grandmaster Wu Xiang in astonishment; even Chi Tong''s face turned slightly unsightly. In this conference of great gravitas, he didn¡¯t even turn on his communication bead. But a flying messenger sword actually flew in so openly, this was simply desecrating the sanctity of this conference. Grandmaster Wu Xiang was also slightly startled, but he wouldn''t care too much about Chi Tong''s face as he broke the sword open. A moment later, his face changed drastically. He immediately stood up; his killing intent flooded in all directions. His violent killing intent surged towards Chi Tong; everything in front of him was instantly disintegrated under this killing intent. Chi Tong was the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord, so how could he be a simple fella? He snorted, raising his hand to send out a gentle force. This force easily dispersed Grandmaster Wu Xiang''s killing intent, and even managed to push Grandmaster Wu Xiang back by half a step. "Hall Master Wu Xiang, have you gone mad?" After dispelling Grandmaster Wu Xiang''s killing intent, Chi Tong grunted angrily. In typical situations, he would not get infuriated like so, but Wu Xiang was truly going overboard. Everyone knew that there were many factions within the Star King Mountain, and he, as the Star Lord, didn¡¯t control all these factions. But in front of outsiders, the various hall masters and generals had to show respect to his position as a Star Lord. However, Wu Xiang had blatantly broken this balance, directly attacking him - the Star Lord, so how could he not be infuriated? Grandmaster Wu Xiang raged with greater killing intent. He raised his arm and a gold zen staff appeared in his palm. "Grandmaster Wu Xiang, if there''s something bothering you, let''s discuss it amiably. You just acting against the Star Lord like that is really going out of hand." A Worldly Immortal expert stood up and said with an unkind tone. Wu Xiang was strong, but he wasn''t strong enough to conquer the entire Star King Mountain. Moreover, this was the Universal Palace where almost all the experts in Zhen Mo Continent were gathered. Seemingly aware that he should not act rashly, Grandmaster Wu Xiang calmed down. He said with an icy cold tone, "This old monk just received news that the old monk''s disciple Li Xiuran had been killed not long ago." Everyone came to an understanding. Now, Rank 1 on the Earth Board was Chi Tong''s disciple, Lei Hongji. So the previous Earth Board Rank 1 did not advance to the True God Stage, but was killed. Even if one was really obtuse, anyone could still deduce that Li Xiuran had been killed by Lei Hongji. Chi Tong instantly furrowed his brows. Even though he had high expectations of Lei Hongji, and even predicted that Lei Hongji would surpass Li Xiuran one day, but it did not seem possible for Lei Hongji to kill Li Xiuran now. Moreover, he knew that Lei Hongji was not a fool, even if he could kill Li Xiuran, he should know not to do so If he obtained a large amount of support, Lei Hongji might be able to enter the Main Star King Mountain. Since it would affect his odds of entering the Main Star King Mountain, Lei Hongji wouldn¡¯t kill one of the ten hall masters, Grandmaster Wu Xiang¡¯s disciple. Yan Huimeng stood up and said, "Hall Master Wu Xiang, I''m afraid you''re mistaken. When I just came, I heard that the Earth Board Rank 1 wasn''t Li Xiuran, but Wang Er. Then, it was at the Universal Hall''s Challenge Battlestage did Lei Hongji kill Wang Er to attain Rank 1. I even thought that Li Xiuran had already advanced to the True God Stage. It looks like I had made a mistake." "Are Manor Lord Yan''s words true?" A middle-aged scribe with a long-beard stood up. His tone was also filled with killing intent. Looking at this man, Yan Huimeng sighed inwardly. She also knew this man. He was the Certainless Dock¡¯s Dock Head Ran Wenjiang, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3. But this man was also Wang Er¡¯s master. If not for the fact that Wang Er was already betrothed to someone, she would have considered marrying Zhuang Xiyue into Certainless Dock. "Dock Head Ran, this is true. Dock Head can confirm it for yourself," Yan Huimeng sighed. Ran Wenjiang clasped his fists towards Yan Huimeng, then turned and left the Universal Palace. Even though he was a Worldly Immortaly, he did not dare act as unbridledly as Grandmaster Wu Xiang and clash against Star Lord Chi Tong. With his bit of power, it wasn¡¯t even enough to display in front og the Star Lord. If he dared to act, then this day next year would be his death anniversary. Chi Tong¡¯s disciple had publicly killed Wang Er, this was akin to slapping him in the face. What¡¯s the point in him, Ran Wenjiang, staying here? Seeing that Ran Wenjiang had disrespectfully left Universal Palace, Chi Tong didn¡¯t say anything. After all, this matter was indeed Lei Hongji¡¯s mistake. Since it was the Challenge Battlestage, he did not need to kill his opponent. Simply trumping over Wang Er would still put him at Rank 1. Lei Hongji did have the talent, but he was a bit too murderous. "Star Lord, I was too reckless just now. Wu Xiang would like to apologize." Even if he made a mistake, Grandmaster Wu Xiang usually wouldn¡¯t apologize. But the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord was not to be trifled with. He could not care about other people, but when facing the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord, he still needed to be respectful. Chi Tong waved his hand, indicating that he did not take things to heart. His face had turned unsightly, but this wasn¡¯t because his magnanimity was low and that he took this minor mater to heart. But it was because Lei Hongji had disappointed him by killing Wang Er. From whatever perspective, Wang Er should not have been killed. Certainless Dock¡¯s Dock Head Ran Wenjiang was an exalted Worldly Immortal, killing Wang Er was equivalent to offending Certainless Dock. This was also not the most important reason. The most important reason was that Chi Tong felt that with Wang Er previously being Rank 2 of the Earth Board, his future was full of potential. However, being killed like that was a loss to Zhen Mo Continent. Similarly, his heart also ached at the death of Li Xiuran. Li Xiuran was Rank 1, if he wasn¡¯t killed, he would definitely have been a peak expert of Zhen Mo Continent. Two talented people had just died, wasn¡¯t this a huge loss to Zhen Mo Continent? "Manor Lord Yan, may I ask who killed my disciple Li Xiuran?" After apologising, Grandmaster Wu Xiang turned, clasped his fists and asked Yan Huimeng. Chapter 340: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Is Mo Wuji Chapter 340: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Is Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yan Huimeng slightly hesitated before saying, "I''m not too sure about this. But I heard that after Li Xiuran disappeared from the Earth Board, a Rogue Cultivator 2705 occupied the Rank 1 spot. However, that Rogue Cultivator 2705 only stayed up there for two hours before it was changed to Wang Er. We all know what happened afterwards." Everyone gave each other glances; what Yan Huimeng was saying was that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had killed Li Xiuran and occupied the Earth Board Rank 1, and Rogue Cultivator 2705 then advanced into the True God Stage, leaving the Earth Board. With Rank 1 leaving the Earth Board, Rank 2 Wang Er naturally became Rank 1. But things were really too coincidental. Just as Rogue Cultivator 2705 left the Earth Board, Lei Hongji had challenged Rank 2 Wang Er, not knowing that Wang Er had already become Rank 1. Thus, after Lei Hongji killed Wang Er, he became Rank 1 of the Earth Board. That means, within that short period of time, Earth Board''s Rank 1 position had shuffled through four people. Wait that''s not right, if Lei Hongji was soon going through his tribulation, then the Earth Board''s Rank 1 would consecutively go through five people in this short time. As for that Rogue Cultivator 2705, almost everyone knew about him. He was an existence that once occupied Mortal Board''s Rank 1, he originated from the Lost Continent. But very few of them knew that Rogue Cultivator 2705 wasn''t only Rank 1 on the Mortal Board but also the Mortal King Board. Being Rank 1 on the Mortal King Board signified much greater things than the Mortal Board. "Haha¡­" Grandmaster Wu Xiang laughed hysterically. "A mere rogue cultivator¡­ He actually dares to kill this old monk''s disciple. He''s courting death." Everyone was silently pitying Rogue Cultivator 2705. Even if he was any stronger, he was merely in the True God Stage. Now that he had been targeted by Grandmaster Wu Xiang, his days were numbered. "Hall Master Wu Xiang." Chi Tong suddenly opened his mouth and uttered. Wu Xiang turned his head and clasped his fists. Previously, he acted disrespectfully towards the Star Lord, that was his mistake. Even if his heart was filled with hate, he should not have ignored the Star Lord¡¯s position. Chi Tong nodded and said, "Rogue Cultivator 2705 is a genius that has never been seen before in the past hundred years in Zhen Mo Continent. His talent is even higher than Lei Hongji. Thus, I hope that Grandmaster Wu Xiang can cherish this talent, and let go of him this one time." Grandmaster Wu Xiang¡¯s eyes were instantly filled with coldness, "Star Lord, just now I was wrong and I have already apologized for that. Now, I would like to ask the Star Lord, if Rogue Cultivator 2705 had killed Lei Hongji instead, would you have let him go?" Chi Tong sighed, he knew that even if Rogue Cultivator 2705 killed Lei Hongji, he wouldn¡¯t bear to kill 2705. A majority of the people here were merely vying for their own benefits. How many of them actually knew that their planet was in a precarious position, and could at any time become some other person¡¯s backyard? However, he knew that even if he said that he would let go of Rogue Cultivator 2705, Grandmaster Wu Xiang wouldn¡¯t believe him. As expected, Grandmaster Wu Xiang did not wait for Chi Tong to reply, taking the initiative to say, "As the adege goes: It¡¯s easy to say, but hard to do. Wait till Lei Hongji gets killed, I believe that the Star Lord would understand how I feel." Chi Tong¡¯s face turned ugly. A Worldly Immortal tried to speak up for him, but Xia Dandao stood up instead. Xia Dandao was the number one hall¡¯s - Star Wars Hall - hall master. Even though the Star Wars Army merely ranked as fifth among the ten armies, no one dared to underestimate the Xia Clan. Thus, since Xia Dandao wanted to talk, no one would interfere with him. "Star Lord, various hall masters and sect heads. I stand here now to say some words of fairness. Rogue Cultivator 2705 killed Li Xiuran in a life and death battle, so it¡¯s not actually a mistake. At the same time, I believe that the Star Lord¡¯s words are very logical, so I would also like to advise Grandmaster Wu Xiang to not kill Rogue Cultivator 2705. Supreme level geniuses are becoming increasingly rare in our planet. To just kill him like that, it would truly be a catastrophe to this planet." Xia Dandao incited doubts within many people. Even if Xia Dandao wanted to support Chi Tong, he wouldn¡¯t do it by offending Grandmaster Wu Xiang. Moreover, some of them had heard that Xia Dandao¡¯s son, Xia Mu, wanted to steal Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s dao companion. As a result of that, one of Xia Clan¡¯s Great Circle True God perished in the Lost Continent. It was even said that one of Xia Clan¡¯s Worldly Immortals went missing in the Lost Continent. The expression in Grandmaster Wu Xiang¡¯s eyes did not change. To him, Xia Dandao¡¯s words were like fart. He would still do what he wanted to do. Xia Dandao acted as though nothing happened as he continued, "There¡¯s no need to talk about Lei Hongji and Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s talent, but Li Xiuran was indeed a supreme level genius. Now that he is killed, it¡¯s no wonder that Grandmaster Wu Xiang would feel upset. If it was me, I would be filled with grievances too. How about this, if Grandmaster Wu Xiang finds Rogue Cultivator 2705, you can be more lenient and accept Rogue Cultivator 2705 as your disciple. This would reimburse your pain and your loss. I would also like to advise everyone sitting here to immediately release the order to search for Rogue Cultivator 2705. This will aid Grandmaster Wu Xiang in finding another exceptional disciple as soon as possible." Hearing these words of Xia Dandao, most of them finally understood that this fella was not up to anything good. He seemed as though he was trying to appease Grandmaster Wu Xiang and Chi Tong, but what he really wanted was to put Rogue Cultivator 2705 on a wanted list. Publicly saying "There¡¯s no need to talk about Lei Hongji and Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s talent, but Li Xiuran was indeed a supreme level genius", wasn¡¯t he implying that Li Xiuran wasn¡¯t even comparable to Lei Hongji? And he even asked Grandmaster Wu Xiang to find and accept Rogue Cultivator 2705 as a disciple? Keke, Grandmaster Wu Xiang was more likely to extract Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s soul and torture it. Sitting near the back, Xu Chihuang couldn¡¯t take it any further. He suddenly stood up and said, "I, Xu Chihuang, might be the weakest one here. But I have some words I need to let out. Our planet is increasingly targeted by more alien powers. If this carries on, there will be one day when we¡¯re trampled under someone else¡¯s feet. Rogue Cultivator 2705 was first on the Mortal King Board, and I believe, even at the Earth King Board, he would fair well too. This sort of genius, we should be seeking to nurture him. How can we constantly call for his death?" Wu Xiang coldly swept his eyes across Xu Chihuang, then he turned and left. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to the nagging of an elementary stage Worldly Immortal. "Grandmaster Wu Xiang, it¡¯s up to you if you must deal with that Rogue Cultivator 2705. But there¡¯s one thing I must say, if you act against the other cultivators of the Lost Continent, even if I have to give up my position as the Star Lord, I will not let it go." Chi Tong¡¯s words were tinged with killing intent. An icy cold sensation pervaded throughout the entire Universal Hall, leaving astonishment brewing in everyone¡¯s hearts. Few knew of Chi Tong¡¯s true power, but this sort of killing intent was enough to show that Chi Tong¡¯s cultivation was definitely not shallow. Wu Xiang snorted and left. He was intending to first massacre all the Lost Continent cultivators that came over, then kill Rogue Cultivator 2705. Thereafter, he would still go to the Lost Continent and slaughter everyone there, not even leaving behind cats and dogs. Now that Chi Tong had actually raised this matter, he could only let things rest. He wasn¡¯t very sure about the Star Lord¡¯s power. But during his previous exchange, he understood that the Star Lord¡¯s power was terrifyingly higher than his. Wu Xiang understood his own power, he was an existence without equal among those below the Earthly Immortal Stage. Since the Star Lord was stronger than him, it would mean that the Star Lord had probably advanced past the Worldly Immortal Stage and had become a true Earthly Immortal. Following Wu Xiang¡¯s departure, the crowd started to take their leave. This was supposed to be a pre-war conference, but towards the end, it suddenly took a strange turn. ¡­ After leaving Universal Palace, Xia Clan¡¯s Xia Dandao immediately sent out a clan order, dispatching every cultivator at the True God Stage and above to enter into space. They only had one purpose, that was to find Rogue Cultivator 2705¡¯s whereabouts. Actually, Xia Dandao could guess that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was Mo Wuji. The two had appeared at too similar timings. Moreover, Mo Wuji had used the steel pole before, just like Rogue Cultivator 2705. If Rogue Cultivator was really Mo Wuji, that would mean that he had at least three half moon keys on him. As the day that the Half Moon Immortal Palace opens drew closer, what would having three half moon keys mean? ¡­ At the same time, Yan Clan¡¯s Yan Qiren had gathered all of the clan¡¯s experts. Yan Qiren looked at the experts in front of him, and slowly said, "According to the news I¡¯ve just received, the cultivator that killed Li Xiuran looks like Mo Wuji. Moreover, the two of them have certain similarities; they both use lightning skills, and they both possess a pole-type weapon. Previously, the Universal Hall¡¯s Nirvana Pole Shadow should have been purchased by Mo Wuji. Previously, all of us were sure that Mo Wuji was unable to survive in the Extreme Frost Sea. But, what if? What if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t die in the Extreme Frost Sea? Then everything would be explained. Mo Wuji is Rogue Cultivator 2705." Star Cloud Hall Master Yan Qiren nodded, "I agree with the Patriarch¡¯s words. The possibility that Mo Wuji is Rogue Cultivator 2705 is close to 90%. Even if he isn¡¯t, being able to kill Li Xiuran means that this Rogue Cultivator 2705 is not simple. Those three half moon keys belong to our Yan Clan. we must immediately find it. I advise, immediately mobilise all Heaven Realm experts of our Yan Clan, to take revenge for Yangdong." No one stood forward to rebut. Taking revenge for Yan Yangdong was just a pretense. Killing Mo Wuji was their real goal. Taking revenge for Yan Yangdong was fake, killing Mo Wuji was real. But if Rogue Cultivator 2705 was really Mo Wuji, then a huge calamity would befall the Yan Clan. [1] With Rogue Cultivator 2705 exceptional talent, then it was not impossible for him to advance into the Earthly Immortal Stage. The moment Rogue Cultivator 2705 enters the Earthly Immortal Stage, then the Yan Clan that pursued after him would be wiped of the face of the planet. At the same time, the Mou Clan, the various hall masters all sent out their Heaven Realm experts, all to catch Mo Wuji. This time, they were acting differently. Everyone was doing things stealthily, as though they were afraid that they would get caught. ¡­ "Kakaka!" On a shattered rock, the spirit pith stone mushrooms around Mo Wuji disintegrated. Mo Wuji stood up at that moment. "Shuai Guo, the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace is near. Let¡¯s go to the Universal Hall." After four over months of cultivation, Mo Wuji seemed to have depleted 70% of his spirit pith stone mushrooms, and he had barely managed to raise his cultivation to True God Stage Level 2. He was very clear, the moment he reached Universal Hall, there would be a gruelling battle. "Yes Master!" Shuai Guo had long been bored still. Now Mo Wuji wanted to go to the Universal Hall, to it, it was simply a dream come true. [1] I don¡¯t understand why the author says this. Didn¡¯t they determine that the two of them are the same people, so didn¡¯t they already decide to kill Rogue Cultivator 2705 despite his talent? Chapter 341: The Appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace Chapter 341: The Appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was too lazy to bother with Shuai Guo calling him Master anymore. This bird was still growing so perhaps after a period of time as it interacted with more things and people, Shuai Guo would start to correct himself. Mo Wuji had no hesitation as he immediately direct the flying ship towards the Universal Hall. With his cultivation level at the True God Stage Level 2 coupled with his Grade 7 Wind Escape Technique, even if he met an expert in the Great Circle of the Worldly Immortal Stage, he would be able to escape easily. The difference between True God Stage and Worldly Immortal Stage was definitely not as great as the difference between the Nihility God Stage and the True God Stage. Nihility God Stage belonged to the Earth Realm while the True God Stage belonged to the Heaven Realm so the gap between them couldn¡¯t be bridged with any technique. However, both the True God Stage and Worldly Immortal Stage belonged to the Heaven Realm just that the former was the first stage while the latter was the second stage of the same Heaven Realm. To Mo Wuji, he was sick of hiding and he didn¡¯t believe that there would be so many Worldly Immortal Stage experts lurking outside the Universal Hall. Many days later, just as Mo Wuji was reaching the Universal Hall, a flying ship charged directly towards him. Mo Wuji stopped his flying ship and grabbed his Tian Ji Pole. He never expected to enter the Universal Hall peacefully so he was always ready for a fight. If not for his worry that Zhen Xing might had already been taken over by the alien experts or space beasts, Mo Wuji would have even used his laser cannon to shoot a few times at the Universal Hall. Shooting a few of the shots of the laser cannon would make himself satisfied but Zhen Xing would be doomed. Mo Wuji had friends both in the Zhen Mo Continent and the Lost Continent so he would definitely not do such a thing. The incoming flying ship was black in colour and when he could see the person on the ship, he gave a slight smile and then hung his Tian Ji Pole back on his back. "I knew you wouldn¡¯t die so easily and it seems like I¡¯m right," The incoming ship stopped and it was the black robed man with a red ribbon, Solitary Red Knot, who walked down from the flying ship. Mo Wuji kept his flying ship and laughed as he said, "If not for your saving grace many years ago, I would have died in the hands of Yan Clan. All these while, I still didn¡¯t have the chance to thank you in person." He could tell that Solitary Red Knot¡¯s cultivation level should still be in the elementary stage of the Nihility God Stage. After all these years,even though his cultivation level was constantly on the rise, his speed would never match Mo Wuji¡¯s. The Solitary Red Knot grinned but didn¡¯t continue talking about the past as he pointed to the direction he came from, "You should know that many people are after your life in that place right?" Mo Wuji looked calmly at the direction of the Universal Hall and said faintly, "I know many people want my life but I¡¯m still surviving well." The Solitary Red Knot nodded his head, "I didn¡¯t expect you to be the Rogue Cultivator 2705. Are you the one who killed all six of the Worldly Immortal Stage experts who entered the Extreme Frost Sea?" "It was me," Although Mo Wuji and the Solitary Red Knot were not very close, Mo Wuji trusted him and knew he was a trustworthy friend. Sometimes when you knew someone for a lifetime, this person might not necessarily be your friend. Other times the moment you saw someone, you already knew that he was your friend. The Solitary Red Knot would be the latter kind of person to Mo Wuji. Hearing that Mo Wuji killed all six of the Worldly Immortal Stage experts, the Solitary Red Knot didn¡¯t appear too shocked as he asked, "Do you know who are the people who want you dead currently?" Even without waiting for Mo Wuji to answer, the Solitary Red Knot continued to explain, "Li Xiuran¡¯s master Master Wu Xiang is a murderous demon and from the moment he heard you killed Li Xiuran, he decided to extract and destroy your soul. The next one would be the three big clans and because many people had already guessed that you¡¯re Mo Wuji, they even planned to act against you secretly. It could even be possible that the three big clans had already noticed our interaction now." Mo Wuji said apologetically, "My apologies for implicating you." The Solitary Red Knot laughed, "If I, Solitary Red Knot, was afraid of being implicated, I wouldn¡¯t have find you so openly. I wanted to ask you if you dare to exterminate the entire Xia Clan?" Mo Wuji said unyieldingly, "Even though I am not capable enough to deal with the Xia Clan now, I will exterminate them sooner or later anyway." The Solitary Red Knot furrowed his brows slightly, "So how did you kill all six Worldly Immortal Experts back then? Don¡¯t you have your ways?" Mo Wuji felt no vicious intent from the Solitary Red Knot so he took a deep breath and said, "That¡¯s right, I have a way but this method won¡¯t work if I were to face the opponent head on. It is considered a sneak attack." "Great, then we shall plan a sneak attack on them. I know where is the encampment of the Universal Hall¡¯s Cultivator Army and I know there are at least three Worldly Immortal Stage experts and over 10 True God Stage experts from the Xia Clan there¡­" Before the Solitary Red Knot could finish speaking, Mo Wuji interrupted, "As long as all the Xia Clan members are clustered together, I will have a way to exterminate the Xia Clan. As for the Cultivator Army, I don''t really want to kill them." The five laser cannons that Mo Wuji possessed could even kill 10 armies without a problem. However, he didn¡¯t wish to act against the rest of the Cultivator Army because they have nothing to do with the Xia Clan. Even though the reason people joined the Cultivator Army was to collect cultivation resources and contribution points, Zhen Xing was indeed protected by these people. "Someone is coming over¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was far stronger than an average True God Stage cultivator and could even match with an average Worldly Immortal Stage cultivator. He could immediately sense when someone was coming over. These people were evidently charging towards him as their intention was clear. "Boom boom boom! Kacha¡­" Just as Mo Wuji said that, a terrifying explosion could be heard in space and then the space looked like it was ripped apart as cracks could be seen everywhere. A vast, endless voided aura surged into the space and Mo Wuji¡¯s was shocked as he could feel an ancient, majestic drastic change. This indescribable dao surrounded his will as if in the next moment, he was about to control something new. "Bang!" The force that trembled the entire space surged over and a massive door appeared faintly at the junction between the space and the voided space. This was a type of vastness and magnificence that people couldn¡¯t help but worshipped as it possessed a realm worth of energy. Those experts that were charging towards Mo Wuji stopped in their tracks as they stared shockingly at the huge door faraway. As the door solidified, it turned into the shape of a half moon. "Half Moon Immortal Palace?" Mo Wuji and the Solitary Red Knot sounded out surprisingly concurrently. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was swaying because just the dao halos of the Half Moon Immortal Palace was enough to create an immense resonance in his heart and almost resulted in him awakening a new technique. What would happen if he entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace? Even if there were no treasures at all, he would still benefit a lot from it. "Kill!" The two men just saw the Half Moon Immortal Palace and the sound of fightings could be heard from space. Mo Wuji trembled once again as he had witnessed the billion dollars war against space beasts and the Cultivator Army but judging from the number of incoming space beasts, this war would definitely be worth more than a billion dollars. At this moment, he could no longer see the entrance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace as this entire place was filled with space beasts. And this was not the most shocking thing as what shocked Mo Wuji the most was the fact that there was an alien cavalry army across the space beasts charging towards them as well. The numbers of this army of alien cultivators was not comparable to the numbers of the incoming space beasts as they only had about a few hundred thousand cultivators. However, every single one of this hundred thousand cultivators was wearing a black space armour and each holding a spiritual weapon. The incoming space beasts felt like they were dragging this piece of space along with them as the entire space was swept away. The aggressive charge of the space beasts meant that the space beasts need not stop to kill the cultivators blocking them as the cultivators would just be crushed to pieces by them. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart shivered as he saw the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Cultivator Army. The Zhen Mo¡¯s Cultivator Army was more like a militia as compared to a legitimate army like the space beasts. The only strength of the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Cultivator Army would be the strength in numbers. Even though the Zhen Mo Continent cultivators had an imposing aura, the difference between the incoming army on the strong beasts and themselves was simply too huge. "Brother Mo, seems like we can¡¯t kill the Xia Clan this time round," The Solitary Red Knot said with some regrets. It would be odd if the Xia Clan didn¡¯t stay in its encampment during such a huge war. "Boom!" The three big armies were already going against each other. The space beasts army, the hundreds of thousand terrifying alien cavalry army and the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Cultivator Army were all crazily killing each other. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will managed to scan the entrance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace as he could clearly see that the entrance was still shut. It seemed like it wasn¡¯t the time to open it yet. Presently, there were countless of space beasts charging towards him as he raised his hand to release his Boundless Lightning Rain. As he was in the True God Stage Level 2, he only needed the space beasts to be within a few metres radius of him to kill them with the lightning rain. Initially, Mo Wuji was only focused on barging into the entrance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace but now, he realised it would simply be impossible for him to do so because regardless of how many space beasts he killed, more were charging towards him. At this moment, Mo Wuji was no longer thinking about how to barge into the Half Moon Immortal Palace as his heart was set on killing these space beasts wildly. Given his capabilities, even a Class 7 space beast would be a dead beast near him. As the Boundless Lightning Rain and Invisible Sword were used continuously, they started to merge. After a few hours, a few enormous lightning swords were encapsulated within Mo Wuji¡¯s Boundless Lightning Rain. This lightning swords brought along immense thunderous threats and every shot released caused the space beasts to look like they were plowed over as empty spaces surfaced after every attack from Mo Wuji. Although the not faraway Solitary Red Knot was also busy killing the space beasts, he was secretly shocked when he witnessed Mo Wuji¡¯s power. He knew from this moment that after this big war, Mo Wuji would at least ascend the main Universal Board and be ranked within the top 1000. He personally witnessed Mo Wuji awakening a new lightning sword which was even capable of producing thunderous threats. This was simply a weapon tailor-made for killing space beasts. Chapter 342: The Tangled War in Space Chapter 342: The Tangled War in Space Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The Half Moon Immortal Palace has appeared on the Star Wars Battlefield..." "The Star Wars is ongoing fiercely and I¡¯ve heard that it is between three forces: our Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Cultivator Army, the alien demonic beasts cavalry and the space beasts¡­" ¡­ All sorts of news were spreading across the Universal Hall and the moment most of the cultivators heard about this, they didn¡¯t even wait for confirmation before heading straight from the Universal Pier into the Star Wars Battlefield. This Star Wars that was triggered by the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace was the best opportunity to earn space contribution points. If one had the luck to enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace, that could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. In the face of such a good opportunity, unless one was really unable to leave, there were only a few cultivators willing to stay behind to watch the show. Nobody even bothered about the fact that one¡¯s life could be easily lost in this tangled war. Which one of these cultivators came to the Universal Hall with no experience of life-threatening crisis before? If one didn¡¯t want to make a name for himself, he wouldn¡¯t be here at the Universal Hall. Those who were here at the Universal Hall had to go to the Star Wars Battlefield and those who go to the Star Wars Battlefield had to face death threats. In this large scale Star Wars, as long as one was careful enough, there would actually not be too many life-threatening crisis. ¡­ In the Universal Hall plaza, Bei Suting was wearing a veil as she walked out of the transfer array. She knew that the Half Moon Immortal Palace was about to surface and she wanted to take a look at it in the Star Wars Battlefield. Concurrently, she wished to find out more about Yan¡¯Er because ever since Yan¡¯Er went to find Mo Wuji in the battlefield previously, Bei Suting had not heard anything about her as she grew worried. Before entering the Universal Hall, her eyes naturally fell on the faraway Universal Board and her body shivered. She even suspected if she saw the wrong name. Mo Wuji, Space Contribution Points: 33843, Ranking: 9833. What was going on? Not only did Mo Wuji not die, he managed to ascend the Universal Board for the second time? And ranked 9833? Bei Suting was on the Universal Board herself so she knew how tough it was to even be ranked on the Universal Board. The reason why she could be on the Universal Board was because she met and killed a herd of Class 7 space beasts in the battlefield. But one must know that she was in the Worldly Immortal Stage. Even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t die, he should at most be in the Nihility God Stage. In the very next moment, she was astonished yet again as she noticed there were changes in the ranking again. Mo Wuji, Contribution Points: 38811, Ranking: 9762 Bei Suting scratched her head as she wondered what technique Mo Wuji was using to increase his contribution points by a few thousand in such a short period of time. Even when she were to face such a large scale of space beasts, she had to constantly kill numerous Class 7 space beasts to have such a quick increase in contribution points. Very soon, Bei Suting noticed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the only one who¡¯s points were constantly on the rise. The points of many other cultivators were increasing quickly too and some people even disappeared from the Universal Board. The only possibility would be the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace and the huge war to fight for the Half Moon Immortal Palace had begun. Bei Suting didn¡¯t stay too long as she hurried into the Universal Hall then from the Universal Pier to the Star Wars Battlefield. Nobody could ignore the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace, not even herself. Furthermore, she had to at least let Mo Wuji know that Yan¡¯Er had been looking for him all these while. One more reason was that no matter how strong Mo Wuji¡¯s mass killing technique was to kill the space beasts, he would not be able to fend himself when faced with a true expert. She knew that there were simply too many people who wanted Mo Wuji¡¯s head. Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword technique became smoother as time passed which caused fear in those beasts as they turned and attacked other cultivators. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on the war between the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Cultivator Army as well as the alien cavalry army. The alien cavalry army was like his lightning sword as every time they attacked, the Cultivator Army was crushed and scattered. Even as the Cultivator Army had some magic skills which could kill a few individual alien cavalry, these losses meant nothing when you looked at actual size of the the alien cavalry army. A few True God Stage experts who wanted to charge past the alien cavalry army were spotted and surrounded very quickly. Mo Wuji realised that these cavalry had a combination attack technique and this technique would not only block off the True God Stage experts¡¯ attack, it could even restrain the True God Stage experts. A Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Worldly Immortal Stage Commander saw that things were not going well so he opened a path for himself in the middle of the crowd of space beasts to charge towards the cavalry army. Before this Worldly Immortal Stage expert could go close to the cavalry army, one cavalier came out from the army towards this Worldly Immortal Stage expert. A ridiculous amount of elemental energy exploded around the two experts and everyone around them were directly wounded by this crazy explosion of elemental energy. This hidden alien cavalier was actually an Worldly Immortal Stage expert too. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because he wondered just how many Worldly Immortal Stage experts were hidden within the hundreds of thousand cavaliers. Under such a mad explosion of elemental energy, the two Worldly Immortal Stage experts showed no signs of convergence as their counters were even stronger than before. Mo Wuji had already reached the True God Stage so he was no longer like before in terms of his strength and judgement. Mo Wuji could feel that the World Immortal Stage cavalier¡¯s magic skill rule was evidently different from the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Worldly Immortal Stage expert. Or this could just be the difference in dao spirituality between the two planets. The more contribution points awarded for killing an alien cultivator of the same stage would probably be because of this difference too. This was just like the time when the Lost Continent was invaded by the alien cultivators. "Brother Mo, we should retreat a little," The Solitary Red Knot landed beside Mo Wuji. Because he was too close to Mo Wuji, the Solitary Red Knot could feel Mo Wuji¡¯s state of mind and as compared to his, it was slightly more relaxed. Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind Solitary Red Knot words. The Half Moon Immortal Palace entrance was still shut and with the strong alien cavalry army charging towards the entrance, one would simply be courting death if he were to fight for the entrance now. He wondered what would happen if he took out the laser cannons and fired a few shots here? However, Mo Wuji tossed this idea out of his mind very quickly. The moment he dared to fire here, he would at most have the opportunity to shoot three cannons. The area of the Star Wars Battlefield was simply too vast so no matter how strong his laser cannons were, three cannons might not be able to wipe out everyone. There were as many experts as clouds in this Star Wars Battlefield so after his three cannons, his small life would definitely be locked on by the many experts around. "We have to retreat but not now. I have a premonition that the Half Moon Immortal Palace is about to open up. Furthermore, I need some space contribution points urgently ," Mo Wuji said in a deep voice. He had to enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace. He would have forgotten about it if he didn¡¯t see it but now that he saw it and even had the half moon key, he would never be able to forgive himself if he didn¡¯t enter. Before the Solitary Red Knot could react, a jade box was shoved by Mo Wuji into his hand, "There is a half moon key here and it all depends on your fate if you¡¯re able to open a door." "Ah¡­" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that Mo Wuji had already rushed to the place with the most number of space beasts. He lowered his head as he looked at the jade box in his hand and emotions were filling him up. That¡¯s right, he did save Mo Wuji before but that was because he admired Mo Wuji and wanted to form an alliance with him to deal with the Xia Clan. It was only until now that he finally now what was considered to be a truly majestic mind. Half moon key, this was something even the Star Lord of Zhen Xing wanted. Why did the three big clans and so many sects wanted to kill Mo Wuji? Was it really because of the small girl that was killed? Only a ghost would believe this lie. There could indeed be a few sentimental small sects and clans who felt that way but most people used it as an excuse. Their true motive was very clear as they were all after the half moon key. Mo Wuji actually casually gave him the half moon key that countless of experts coveted for. Furthermore, it was in this situation where the Half Moon Immortal Palace was right in front of their eyes. Even if it was the Solitary Red Knot, he might not be able to do so. He didn¡¯t misjudged Mo Wuji because he was indeed a true friend. Since he needed the contribution points, the Solitary Red Knot would do whatever it took to help him. At the thought of this, the Solitary Red Knot kept his jade box, shifted his body and charged towards Mo Wuji¡¯s position. He was even too lazy to wonder why Mo Wuji needed the Universal contribution points. ¡­ Wherever Mo Wuji went, any crowd of space beasts would have turned into ashes under the attack of his lightning rain and sword. "Boom!" Finally an insane burst of elemental energy managed to restrain Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword and a few metres tall huge wolf threw himself at Mo Wuji. Before the wolf could land on Mo Wuji, its white eyes were filled with killing intent as if to tell Mo Wuji that under its claws, no one could escape alive. This was a white-eyed space wolf in the advanced stage of Class 7 and his fighting capabilities surpassed an average Class 7 beast. Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy was just dispersed and he could feel the strength of this huge wolf. Under normal circumstances, other than the murdered Class 7 space beasts, Mo Wuji would not be bothered to collect resources from the lower class space beasts. As for the Class 7 space beasts that he killed, they were mostly in the elementary stage and their fighting capabilities were nothing compared to this huge white-eyed wolf. Mo Wuji had long kept his Boundless Lightning Rain, ignited his meridians and all 100% of his elemental energy was absorbed into his Tian Ji Pole as he swung towards this huge white-eyed wolf. The huge wolf which was initially charging towards Mo Wuji unscrupulously stopped in its tracks as Mo Wuji swung out his Tian Ji Pole. Its front two claws scratched out countless of mysterious marks and then a 10 metres long, two metres wide white wolf blade was piercing towards Mo Wuji¡¯s waist. This was still not this white-eyed wolf¡¯s true technique as behind this horrifying space wolf blade was the change in positioning of the wolf in an instant as its back claws turned into a few metres wide radius claw shadow to block out Mo Wuji¡¯s retreat route. The huge wolf¡¯s white eyes had traces of ridicule and thirst for blood and if it didn¡¯t personally witness Mo Wuji¡¯s incredible strength, it wouldn¡¯t have used this method to deal with an ant who just advanced to the True God Stage. That¡¯s right, even if it was only in the advanced stage of Class 7, the other Class 7 demonic beasts and True God Stage cultivators were merely like ants to him.

Chapter 343: Killing a Worldly Immortal Stage Expert Chapter 343: Killing a Worldly Immortal Stage Expert Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji pulled his glance away because a wolf was already crafty in nature and this was actually an advanced Class 7 space wolf getting ready to enter Class 8. From the onstart, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t look down on this huge wolf and as he saw the white-eyed huge wolf teleported and concurrently locked onto his blind spot with his strong¡¯s blade radiance, he knew that he didn¡¯t misjudge this white-eyed space wolf. It was strong and capable of producing cunning tricks. If it was any other person, after using all their strength to swing the steel pole, it would be impossible to alter his spatial position and angle. In the face of this ten metres long space wolf blade with a trace of killing intent, if Mo Wuji was strong enough, he would be able to just block the wolf blade with his Tian Ji Pole. If he was not strong enough, he could only choose to dodge. As he dodged his blind angle, the white-eyed wolf had already shifted to wait for him. If he was any weaker, even without action from the wolf, Mo Wuji would have died because of the scarily imposing manner of space wolf blade. However, Mo Wuji was not only strong enough, he was also vicious and smart enough. Mo Wuji had even killed cultivators who were of higher cultivation level so how much threat could this white-eyed wolf, which was on the same level as he was, possibly posed? Even though the white-eyed wolf did plot against him, it still had to depend on its own strength to restrain Mo Wuji. This wolf had already calculated and predicted that Mo Wuji Would not be able to dodge his incoming space wolf blade but he misjudged Mo Wuji¡¯s true strength. However, what he didn''t know was that Mo Wuji also had tens of methods to break the incoming space wolf blade into pieces even if the wolf didn¡¯t misjudge his strength. As he awaited Mo Wuji¡¯s attempt to dodge the attack, he could feel his own death drawing close. Before he could figure out where that feeling was coming from, he looked shockingly at his wolf blade, which had brought along an immense amount of aura and killing intent, being thrown away by an invisible force as it pierced past Mo Wuji into the endless space behind him. What method is this? No, where is the opponent¡¯s steel pole? "Crack!" The white-eyed wolf could hear the cracking of its entire skull and it didn¡¯t even know which direction Mo Wuji¡¯s steel pole appeared from. No, this was not possible¡­ This white-eyed space wolf¡¯s heart was still raging intensely as it fell into the endless darkness in front of it. It didn¡¯t understand how Mo Wuji¡¯s pole changed its position in such a huge space. It didn¡¯t understand why despite clearly being stronger than his opponent, it didn¡¯t even last a round against him. Presently, Mo Wuji had no time to bother about this white-eyed space wolf as he felt an even more terrifying killing intent aiming at him. This was definitely a fella with a much higher cultivation level planning a sneak attack on him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even care about retrieving this white-eyed wolf¡¯s corpse as his body turned into a slight wind and shifted away. "Puff!" Blood mist exploded from Mo Wuji¡¯s waistline and both a pungent smell and smoke came out from that blood mist. A strong toxin was immediately absorbed by his Detoxification Channel and turned swiftly into spiritual energy. Mo Wuji stood unsteadily in space with a pale face as he looked at a golden robed middle-aged man with a death stare. He was astonished in his heart because this fella who sneak attacked him was really strong. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t dodge the attack even though he knew it was coming. "I am Yan Qiren, the Patriarch of the Yan Clan. It is considered to be your good fortune to survive till this date after killing a member of my Yan Clan and stealing from us," This golden robed man revealed a flash of disdainful look as it only took him one step to cover the gap between Mo Wuji and himself and to land next to Mo Wuji. "Yan Qiren, how dare you attack a Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivator sneakily? Your Yan Clan really have huge guts¡­" An enraged voice could be heard and even before the person arrived, a sharp killing intent could be felt. Yan Qiren didn¡¯t even care about the enraged body behind him as he reached his hand out to grab Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring. Even though he didn¡¯t care about the enraged person behind, 90% of his focus was on the man behind him. He knew who the opponent was: Star King Mountain¡¯s Xu Chihuang, a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 like himself. Now that he had violated the promise of the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Cultivator Army to sneak attack Mo Wuji, others might not dare to do anything to him but Xu Chihuang definitely dared to do something. Mo Wuji was struck with a deadly poison and was bound to die. Even if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t poisoned, why would a Worldly Immortal Stage expert like himself care about an elementary True God Stage cultivator? So what if this True God Stage cultivator was previously ranked first on the Earth Board? What Yan Qiren needed to be cautious of was the attack from Xu Chihuang. Just as his hand was about to touch Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring, a Lightning Calamity with strong killing intent was directed straight at his chest. Because of the short distance as well as the speed of the counterattack, even if Yan Qiren was a god, it would be hard for him to dodge the attack. Furthermore, his focus was still on Xu Chihuang behind him. Despite this, Yan Qiren still managed to shift his body slightly. "Puff! A long lightning sword pierced through Yan Qiren¡¯s chest as blood flew out yet again. Presently, why would Yan Qiren still care about anything else as his body suayed and was about to escape. Since Mo Wuji chose to counterattack, he was never planning to let Yan Qiren off like that. Yan Qiren had no idea where the Tian Ji Pole appeared from as it smashed his head. The Next Pole, Mo Wuji¡¯s Nirvana Pole Shadow technique. "Puff!" Yan Qiren¡¯s primordial spirit started to disperse and before his primordial spirit could escape, Mo Wuji landed yet another lightning bolt on him. "Why? How did you defend against my deadly poison¡­" Yan Qiren asked but it was a pity that he couldn¡¯t get the answer or rather, he didn¡¯t have time to get the answer. Mo Wuji¡¯s death stare had already disappeared and the space wolf that he killed not too far away was brought over by his spiritual will into his storage ring. He kindly accepted Yan Qiren¡¯s storage ring and as for his corpse, Mo Wuji kicked it into the crowd of space beasts. As of now, the Solitary Red Knot landed close to Mo Wuji as he stared in disbelief at Mo Wuji. He knew from the start that Mo Wuji was strong but it was a little too ridiculous that he was strong enough to kill Yan Qiren. Who is Yan Qiren? He was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1, Patriarch of Yan Clan, one of the three big clans in Zhen Mo Continent. A reputable person like him was actually killed in silence by Mo Wuji. "You actually killed Yan Qiren?" Xu Chihuang stood firmly in space and looked shockingly at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji reached out his hand and the suspended Tian Ji Pole landed in his hand, "If I don¡¯t kill him, should I wait for him to kill me? I don¡¯t have such virtue." The Xu Chihuang in pursuit finally stopped before taking in a deep breath before saying, "I know you because I¡¯ve been to the Lost Continent and I¡¯ve heard your name but I didn¡¯t expect you to be this strong. Killing Yan Qiren was fine but you really shouldn¡¯t have killed that white-eyed wolf." After finishing, he didn¡¯t wait for Mo Wuji to ask as he took the initiative to explain, "That white-eyed space wolf was from the Space Wolf Clan and he is one of the Wolf King¡¯s favourite offspring. By killing him, I¡¯m afraid you might invite infinite troubles in the future¡­" Mo Wuji sneered and didn¡¯t bother replying Xu Chihuang. Not only the descendants of the Space Wolf King, even if its ancestors were here to kill him, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have any shreds of hesitation to kill them as well. In his eyes, there wasn¡¯t a question of whether he dared to kill but only the question of whether he should kill. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s ignorant face, Xu Chihuang sighed and said, "Do you know how strong the Space Wolf King is? How influential he is?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know Xu Chihuang very well and even though Xu Chihuang did called out to Yan Qiren to stop and distracted him, Mo Wuji would have still been able to kill Yan Qiren by surprise, just not so easily. Therefore, he didn¡¯t have a very pleasant impression of Xu Chihuang and he wouldn¡¯t change his attitude towards him just because he was a Worldly Immortal Stage expert. In this world, might makes right. "I don¡¯t know what the Space Wolf King was and I wouldn¡¯t put it to heart even if I heard of it," Mo Wuji said calmly. There were countless of stars and space in this vast universe. Wouldn¡¯t it be too shameless for a lone wolf in space to call himself the Space Wolf King? Xu Chihuang looked at Mo Wuji and said in a serious tone, "You are Rogue Cultivator 2705 and also Mo Wuji right? You are truly the glorified genius cultivator of so many centuries. After the Star Lord saw that you were also ranked one in the Earth King Board, he even mentioned that you are the future of Zhen Xing. That Space Wolf King was at the peak of Class 9 and if not for the fact that we are not able to breakthrough the void in this world, the Wolf King could have broken into the next realm¡­" Just as Xu Chihuang was speaking, a large group of cavalry was charging towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji heard Xu Chihuang¡¯s words and was wondering what the broken void was and was thinking he could ask for tips from Xu Chihuang about stages after the Earthly Immortal Stage. Who would have guessed that the cavalry would charge over towards him now? One must know that he was still a distance away from the entrance. What did these cavalry want by charging over here instead of towards the Half Moon Immortal Palace? "2705, follow closely behind me¡­" Xu Chihuang hurried to call out as he saw the countless number of alien cavalry. He was really worried for Mo Wuji. There were simply not many experts who truly care about the safety of Zhen Xing and Xu Chihuang was one of the few. He agreed with the Star Lord because Mo Wuji was ranked first on the Mortal King Board, ranked first on the Earth King Board and could even kill Yan Qiren at the True God Stage. He was definitely the chosen one to make Zhen Xing rise again. The Star Lord¡¯s words were still ringing in his ears, "That Rogue Cultivator 2705 is 80-90% Mo Wuji. He would definitely appear because of the opening of the Half Moon Immortal Palace. If you were to see him, you have to protect him at all costs and never let the three big clans act against him." The truth was that before he found Mo Wuji, the Patriarch of Yan Clan had already found Mo Wuji and even without acting himself, Mo Wuji killed the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 Yan Qiren. This was the first time in the history of the three big clans that a Patriarch was killed by someone directly. No matter what method Mo Wuji used, he would still be the first True God Stage cultivator to kill a Worldly Immortal Stage expert. As Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan the surrounding, he finally understood why these strong alien cavalry army would suddenly charge towards him. They were at the faraway entrance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace a while ago and now they actually appeared behind him.

Have a great day ahead :) Chapter 344: Coming Out Alive Chapter 344: Coming Out Alive Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Go!" Mo Wuji grabbed Solitary Red Knot and burst forth with elemental energy. A gentle breeze blew by; Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to charge out from the side. Even though Mo Wuji had pushed his speed to the maximum, he was still unable to break through the alien cavalry army¡¯s lines. That violent cavalry had started charging over. "Hong!" The hordes of troops and horses condensed a staggering amount of elemental energy, directly crushing Mo Wuji¡¯s protective elemental energy, resonating with thunderous roars as they charged by. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank; facing this terrifying advance, even a Worldly Immortal might not be able to bear it, much less him who was only at True God Stage Level 2. He was not afraid of a Worldly Immortal Elementary Stage cultivator, but that didn¡¯t mean that he actually had the power of the Worldly Immortal Elementary Stage. Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that white-eyed giant wolf¡¯s special move - teleportation. If only he could teleport, that would be great. At this moment, perhaps only teleporting out of here could save him. The tumultuous elemental energy from the charge surged over; Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes turned red. Fight! Mo Wuji immediately raised both his arms up, forming ten thick and huge swords of lightning which he sent flying out. Behind the lightning swords, were multiple electroballs. "Peng! Boom!" The lightning swords out clumps of blood mist. Following which, the electroballs exploded, and a gap actually revealed itself in front of Mo Wuji. At the same time, Mo Wuji could feel the momentum of the charge slowing down. He had already infiltrated past the cavalry¡¯s frontal charge. Such a good opportunity, how could Mo Wuji let it go? At almost the same instant he felt the cavalry''s charge slowing down, he immediately displayed his Wind Escape Technique. The gap cut out by his lightning sword was still filled with blood mist, and had yet to be filled. "Many thanks." Even a person who didn¡¯t fear death like Solitary Red Knot was drenched in cold sweat. Mo Wuji turned back, and discovered that the gate to the Half Moon Immortal Palace had been concealed once again. It was unknown when the gate would reappear, not even the shadows of the Half Moon Immortal Palace could be seen. No wonder why these alien cavalry troops would slow down. Now that the Half Moon Immortal Palace was gone, they no longer had a target. "Mo Wuji, why don¡¯t you follow me over to the Star King Mountain. If you stay here, the moment the Half Moon Immortal Palace reappears, the previous situation might happen again." Xu Chihuang had landed not far away from Mo Wuji. "Many thanks senior. But junior still feels more at ease staying here." Mo Wuji could feel that Xu Chihuang was genuinely trying to help him. But to ask him to go to the Star King Mountain side, that was simply not possible. He had bad ties with the Star King Mountain¡¯s three great clans, ten halls, and several other factions. So what use would there be in going over? Compared to being like a fish caught in a net, he would rather roam free here. Moreover, he had even killed the Yan Clan¡¯s Patriarch Yan Qiren not long ago. He was even more unsure as to how many members of the three clans he had killed when he was pursued previously. To be within the zone of the alien cavalry army¡¯s charge the first time was due to his carelessness. But if this sort of thing happened again, then he was really an idiot. Xu Chihuang thought that in Mo Wuji¡¯s predicament, when he extended an invitation to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would definitely be immensely grateful with tears in his eyes, and would follow him over to Star King Mountain. Xu Chihuang would never have expected that Mo Wuji would unhesitatingly reject his invitation, without even a hint of reservation. This put him at a loss for words. "The Half Moon Immortal Palace has already disappeared. There would be no further purpose in continuing this fight. The Half Moon Immortal Palace would reappear, and before this happens, I suggest that everyone sits together and discuss." A leopard headed man stood and in the middle of space and hollered out. This was at least a Class 8 demonic beast. Seeing this leopard headed man, Mo Wuji subconsciously raised his guard. Not long ago, he had killed a white-eyed giant wolf. "I agree with Dao Friend Bao Lie¡¯s words. Now that the Half Moon Immortal Palace has hidden itself again, why don¡¯t we all take this opportunity to talk things over. But of course, if Gu Nuo Star Tribe wishes to fight, I - Chi Tong - will be happy to oblige." The Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Chi Tong stood forward. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s first time seeing the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord, but when he saw the aura exuded by Chi Tong, he could not help but be dazed. This Chi Tong¡¯s power was definitely above the Worldly Immortal Stage; he had very likely stepped into the Earthly Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji was sure that if Chi Tong wished to kill him, he wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to escape. Unless he leaves immediately and lose all hopes of ever entering the Half Moon Immortal Palace. However, he had some half moon keys on him, and the Half Moon Immortal Palace was just right in front of his eyes, how could he just abandon that? Even though he knew that his greed might cause him to lose his life, Mo Wuji was still not willing to go. Mo Wuji sighed and swiftly retreated, and at the same time, he started gesturing to somewhere faraway. Not long later, a hiding Shuai Guo raced over, landing on Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder. Now that Mo Wuji had done such actions, it showed that he had already had thoughts on giving up on the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Solitary Red Knot had also arrived by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. He had wandered across space for so long; when he noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s retreat, he immediately knew that Mo Wuji was preparing a make an escape. "Brother Mo, this person is the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Chi Tong. I suspect that he had already entered into the Earthly Immortal Stage. However, you don¡¯t have to worry that he would do anything against you. Among the few experts I see favourably in the Star King Mountain, perhaps that Xu Chihuang is one, but this Star Lord is not bad either. At least, he is really thinking about the greater good of the planet," Solitary Red Knot whispered and explained beside Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. As he spoke, he was sizing up Shuai Guo who was perched on Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder. The usually talkative Shuai Guo was unusually silent. Those hordes of demonic beasts, in this war, were merely cannon fodder. And among those cannon fodder, most of them were stronger than it. If it wasn¡¯t hiding just now, it would have long been killed. "Gu Nuo Cavalry, form up." An alien expert riding on a demonic beast broke off from the cavalry army. At the same time, he ordered for the halt in the cavalry¡¯s advance. He understood Chi Tong; if the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army continues to charge forward, he might alter the war dynamics, where the Zhen Mo Continent might team up with the space beasts to deal with their Gu Nuo Star Tribe. On the surface, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe appeared dauntless, but they were truly afraid of such an incident. The Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry soldiers looked brave and courageous, as though nothing could block their way. But the moment those boundless amounts of space beasts congregated and clashed against them together with the assault from the Zhen Mo armies, this cavalry army might be completely routed. With the expert of the three leaders, the chaotic battlefield soon eased down. Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s armies and cultivators gathered at one area, the space beasts gathered at another area, while the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry gathered at a different area. In terms of numbers, the space beasts were the most numerous. However, Bao Lie was very clear, the combat power of the space beasts was the lowest. Zhen Mo Continent and the space beasts had frequent wars; if Chi Tong allied themselves with Gu Nuo Star Tribe, then even with their superior numbers, the space beasts might be completely eradicated. However, Chi Tong was not a fool; he naturally wouldn¡¯t join hands with the Gu Nuo Star Tribe. In comparison, he felt more averse towards the Gu Nuo Star Tribe than the space beasts. The Gu Nuo Star Tribe had as many experts as they had as there were clouds; and they were also expert beast tamers. At this moment, the Gu Nuo Star Tube urgently needed to create new cultivation resource hinterlands, and Zhen Xing [1] met its demands in terms of resources and proximity. If not for the Universal Hall¡¯s years of hard work, Zhen Mo Continent might have been trampled under the beasts of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe. The words suggested by Bao Lie was exactly what Chi Tong also wanted. At least, he knew that Mo Wuji three half moon keys, and he was also sure that other people in Zhen Xing had some half moon keys. As long as they could successfully enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace, then they would definitely be able to reap much benefits. It didn¡¯t matter who those treasures entered up with, it would only be advantageous to their continent. "Dao Friend Bao Lie, Dao Friend Sid, this time, the Half Moon Immortal Palace has appeared close to my Universal Hall. But I believe that the treasures inside belong to the fated ones." Chi Tong intentionally lowered Zhen Xing¡¯s position. Bao Lie was a Class 8 space beast, while Sid an Gu Nuo expert at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8. Moreover, Chi Tong was sure that there definitely was a fella stronger than Sid within the Gu Nuo troops. As for the space beasts, there was still the Space Wolf king which was vastly more powerful than him. It was at the Great Circle of Class 9, which was equivalent to an expert at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. Don¡¯t think that the battles between Zhen Xing and the space beasts had been evenly matched. In reality, if he dared to kill a Class 8 demonic beast, that Space Wolf King might pay a visit to Zhen Xing. Bao Lie and Sid did not bother about Chi Tong¡¯s words; they were clear that it was the upcoming words which were more important. As expected, Chi Tong continued, "The Half Moon Immortal Palace will appear soon. It is exactly as Dao Friend Bao Lie says, if the Half Moon Immortal Palace reappears and we¡¯re still entangled in our battles, then it would be useless. According to our calculations, there are close to 20 dao gates in the Half Moon Immortal Palace which have yet to be opened. Moreover, there are treasures all over the Half Moon Immortal Palace. I suggest that the three factions each send a portion of our people in, how about that?" Hearing Chi Tong¡¯s words, Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s Sid stepped down from his beast. Standing within space, he snorted and said, "Dao Friend Chi¡¯s idea might be good, but it doesn¡¯t favour the abled ones. If my guess is correct, this might be the final appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace. It¡¯s said that during its final appearance, at the final instant, all the dao gates in the Half Moon Immortal Palace would automatically open. That¡¯s why I suggest, before the Half Moon Immortal Palace opens again, we will construct a stage. Each side can choose people to send up on stage according to the number of half moon keys each side has; each key would entitle 10 people. They will then battle on the stage, and the ones that survive would enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Of course, the cultivators that battle on the stage should be below the Worldly Immortal Stage, and within the Nihility God Stage and above. "Alright, I agree with this." Bao Lie extended his scarlet red tongue and licked his lips. The space beasts were plenty in numbers but most of the fighting force was not very strong. But if they only had to choose in multiples of ten, then the space beasts wouldn¡¯t be in a disadvantage. Moreover, he knew that they had five half moon keys on their side, that was already 50 people. "Quick, invite the Young Wolf Prince over. This time, he will lead the team." Bao Lie chuckled. He knew the Young Wolf Prince¡¯s fighting capabilities, the Wolf Prince was an existence infinitesimally close to the Worldly Immortal Stage. Chi Tong saw that both Bao Lie and Sid had both agreed, he sighed inwardly as he said, "My Zhen Mo Continent also agrees." He had to do so. If he rejected it, he would give the space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe an opportunity to collude against him. After giving his agreement, his gaze landed at Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Just now Xu Chihuang had told him that Mo Wuji had arrived. At least Mo Wuji had three half moon keys, that meant that he could bring 30 True Gods up onto the stage.

Chapter 345: Enemies On All Sides Chapter 345: Enemies On All Sides Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What! The Young Wolf Prince has been killed? Who? Who did it?" Bao Lie roared ferociously. The White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince might not have been the first heir to the Space Wolf King¡¯s throne, but he was one of the Space Wolf King¡¯s favourite descendants. Moreover, the Young Wolf Prince had tagged along with him for this venture, and now that the Young Wolf Prince had been killed, Bao Lie would not be able to escape from blame. "It¡¯s that man¡­" A Class 7 demonic beast pointed in Mo Wuji¡¯s direction. It had wanted to report of this matter, but the Leopard King had always been talking so it didn¡¯t even have the chance. "Wooh! I¡¯m going to kill you!" Bao Lie howled, and could no longer be bothered about the previous agreement as it directly pounced towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had already been prepared for this, and now that he saw Bao Lie pounce over, he did not hesitate as he immediately displayed his Wind Escape Technique. He could give up on the Half Moon Immortal Palace, but he couldn¡¯t give up his life. Moreover, this Bao Lie was likely to be a Class 8 demonic beast, so no matter what method he used, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fight against it. "Boom!" A burst of elemental energy exploded, sending ripples of waves into space. Bao Lie had been blocked, and the one blocking him was the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Chi Tong. Mo Wuji also stopped in his tracks, he never expected that the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord would stand out to help him. "Chi Tong, what¡¯s the meaning of this? This person has killed the Young Wolf Prince. You¡¯re bent on protecting him? Do you actually think that the Universal Hall can defend against the wrath of the Wolf King?" Bao Lie roared fiercely. Chi Tong heard these words and his heart went into a flurry. He immediately turned towards Mo Wuji. Before Mo Wuji could answer, Xu Chihuang took the initiative to explain to Bao Lie, "Just now, the White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince had assaulted Mo Wuji in a sneak attack. In his self-defense, Mo Wuji accidentally killed it." "Hahaha¡­" Bao Lie chortled loudly. "You¡¯re saying that under the Young Wolf Prince¡¯s sneak attack, this person could still accidentally kill the Wolf Prince? Who is he ah, is he some expert that¡¯s going to break into the Earthly Immortal Stage?" Chi Tong immediately furrowed his brows, he never expected Mo Wuji to actually kill the Young Wolf Prince. Things were definitely going to get messy. He had never suspected whether Mo Wuji was capable of killing the Young Wolf Prince; Mo Wuji was Rank 1 on the Earth King Board, and that White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince was merely in the same stage as Mo Wuji. No matter how strong it was, it had to be dreaming if it wanted to beat the Earth King Board¡¯s Rank 1. Anyone on the Earth King Board was a talented genius, much less the Earth King Board¡¯s Rank 1? One must know that the most prestigious board in Zhen Mo Continent wasn¡¯t the Heaven King Board, but the Earth King Board. After all, the number of Heaven Realm experts in Zhen Mo Continent was not many. As long as one steps into the Worldly Immortal Stage, with some slight competition, one would be able to rise up the Heaven Board. Since the requirements for the Heaven Board were lower, the Heaven King Board was naturally not much higher. That¡¯s why he had a favourable impression of Mo Wuji. Even though Lei Hongji was also Rank 1 on the Earth Board, his ranking on the Earth King Board was below Rank 10. However, he was worried about the Space Wolf King. With the Space Wolf King¡¯s power, even the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s experts might not be able to deal with it. As for Zhen Xing, there wasn¡¯t even any expert that could fight evenly with the Space Wolf King. "In battle, anything can change within a single breath. Accidental deaths and injuries cannot be prevented. Since the incident has already happened, my Zhen Xing is willing to compensate you." Chi Tong said aggrievedly. Now, he truly didn¡¯t dare to fight against the Space Wolf King. If he did that, then Zhen Xing would be completely screwed. If Zhen Xing really clashed against the space beasts, with Gu Nuo Star Tribe eyeing at them greedily at the side, when Zhen Xing was at its weakest, Gu Nuo would step into the stage. That¡¯s when Zhen Xing would be completely wiped off the face off this planet. "Chi Tong, you are really going to protect this man?" Bao Lie¡¯s face was filled with killing intent as it prepared a flying messenger sword. It was helpless against Chi Tong, but it could inform the Space Wolf King of this matter. Chi Tong¡¯s heart skipped a beat. At the same time, a deep sense of disappointment brewed in his heart. He was disappointed at Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even able to protect himself, but under such circumstances, he actually killed that white-eyed wolf. If Chi Tong continued to protect Mo Wuji, he would be sending the all of Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators directly into the fire. "Star Lord, we have always had a good relationship with the Space Wolf King. Since this person has killed the Young Wolf Prince, I believe that we should strip him of his belongings and hand him over to Dao Friend Bao Lie." A devious voice rang from the back. When Bao Lie heard these words, his rage and anger was temporarily quelled. Solitary Red Knot whispered in Mo Wuji¡¯s year, "That man is called Yan Pingzhi. He is the Star Cloud Hall Master, and a member of the Yan Clan." "I agree with Hall Master Yan¡¯s words. We should capture Mo Wuji, strip him of his storage ring then send him to the Wolf King for punishment." Another man sternly said. "That¡¯s the Xia Clan¡¯s Patriarch Xia Dandao. He is also the hall master of Star King Mountain¡¯s first hall - Star Wars Hall." Solitary Red Knot once again explained to Mo Wuji. He felt that today, albeit him or Mo Wuji, would need to face a life and death experience. "Dao Friend Chi, what do you say?" Seeing that there were several people supporting him, Bao Lie decided to stare at Chi Tong and pressure him. Chi Tong sighed; he knew that he if protected Mo Wuji today, he would definitely be fraught with trouble in the future. At least he still had a Lei Hongji. He subconsciously turned his head back; Lei Hongji should also be here. Mo Wuji saw the melancholic expression on Chi Tong¡¯s face and knew that things weren¡¯t going to be good; it was as though he was treated as cannon fodder. But at the same time, he had never intended for Chi Tong to help him, to ask for that was simply not practical. "Red Knot, prepare to run¡­" With that, Mo Wuji had already sent his spiritual will extending outwards. However, he was immediately met with a bucket of cold water over his head. He kept thinking that Bao Lie would block his way, but he never anticipated that Yan Clan and Xia Clan would step out too. The two of them had blocked out his other two directions. Elemental energy constantly roiled around their body, seemingly as though they were ready to strike. "Who is Rogue Cultivator 2705?" An aggravated voice filled with killing intent resounded from afar. Mo Wuji immediately saw a bald monk with a zen staff rapidly approaching him. This person must be Monk Wu Xiang; Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was already filled with desolation. At this instant, he was really facing enemies from all sides. The only one that wanted to help him was Chi Tong, but that person did not dare speak at this moment. A stream of spiritual energy converged in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead. His spiritual will might not be able to find a way out but he did not give up. As long as there was a strand of hope, he would take it. "Haha, since that¡¯s the case, then today we¡¯ll die fighting." Solitary Red Knot started chortling. "Let me, Solitary Red Knot, see how the Star King Mountain will join hands with the space beasts to deal with us¡­" Chi Tong¡¯s face was flushed hot. As the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, he had to always consider the big picture, but he had always been trapped in passiveness. Solitary Red Knot¡¯s words were not aimed at him, but it was a slap against his face. A spiritual eye condensed from spiritual energy appeared in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead. Any gap within space clearly appeared in from of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. What disappointed Mo Wuji was, no matter where he ran, he was unable to shake off the pursuit of a Worldly Immortal. At this moment, Wu Xiang was getting closer and closer to him. Just as Mo Wuji turned his head and prepared to charge out, his spiritual eye detected a faint outline of a half moon gate. The gate was even left unlocked. The Half Moon Immortal Palace was going to appear? When this idea bounced into Mo Wuji¡¯s head, he immediately grabbed Solitary Red Knot¡¯s arm. A light breeze swept up beside him, as he immediately disappeared. Seeing that Mo Wuji had actually tried to escape, Bao Lie laughed maniacally and pounced over. At the same time, Yan Pingzhi and Xia Dandao also charged towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had half moon keys on him; this was the main reason why they wanted to grab Mo Wuji. Following closely behind the three, was Monk Wu Xiang who had just arrived. Xu Chihuang speechlessly slapped his palm against his forehead. How many people did this fella offend ah? "Boom!" Multiple bursts of elemental energy collided, tearing space apart. These bursts of elemental energy was supposed to have struck Mo Wuji, but that Mo Wuji had suddenly disappeared. Before anyone could react, they heard a cry, "Half Moon Immortal Palace¡­" That¡¯s right, the Half Moon Immortal Palace¡¯s gate had appeared again. This time, not only had it appear, it was even left unlocked. By this time, even a fool knew that Mo Wuji had entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace. But no one could even be bothered to care about Mo Wuji. Now that the Half Moon Immortal Palace¡¯s gate had opened, if they didn¡¯t rush in immediately, then were they supposed to wait outside like fools? Everyone had long forgotten about the previous agreement. Since someone had already entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace, who would foolishly wait outside to build a stage to compete on it? Countless cultivators charged into the Half Moon Immortal Palace¡¯s half moon gate. Whether it was the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army, or Zhen Mo Continent cultivators or the space beast hordes, they all rushed in. At this instant, there was only one destination - the gate to the Half Moon Immortal Palace. The Half Moon Immortal Palace¡¯s gate was only so big. Even if everyone orderly lined up to enter, who knows how many days it would take for everyone to enter. A chaotic battle erupted again. This time, it didn¡¯t matter who you are. As long as you were blocking the way to the Half Moon Immortal Palace, then there¡¯s only "Kill! Kill! Kill!".... ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace, he was stupefied. This was simply a vast and limitless maze. His spiritual will extended thousands of miles in but he still couldn¡¯t find an end. He estimated that even if a billion people entered, it would still be like a drop of water entering an ocean, disappearing within a trace. With such a huge maze, how was he going to find the dao gate for his half moon key? As Mo Wuji thought of this, he suddenly felt a sort of call beckoning to him. This call seemed to originate from the half moon key in his storage ring. "Brother Mo, I felt it. I felt the existence of that dao gate¡­" Solitary Red Knot said emotionally. It seemed like he was like Mo Wuji, he felt the call from his half moon key. "Hurry and go. If it¡¯s fated, we¡¯ll meet again at Universal Hall. I will go first." With that, Mo Wuji brought Shuai Guo and immediately entered a passage of the maze, vanishing without a trace. Seeing that Mo Wuji had disappeared, Solitary Red Knot did not dare wait around as he charged into another passage. At almost the same instant the two disappeared, crowds of cultivators flooded in. Moments later, these people also vanished in the boundless maze. Chapter 346: The Staggering Discovery Chapter 346: The Staggering Discovery Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Great Circle of the Worldly Immortal Stage Monk Wu Xiang was late to arrive but among the first to enter; he was an unstoppable juggernaut who stormed his way into the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Any cultivator blocking his way was obliterated, directly turned into mists of blood, never to be seen again. When Monk Wu Xiang swept his spiritual will inwards, he was immediately startled. It was also his first time coming here. The area inside was boundless and vast, and the entire area seemed to be a maze. How was he going to find that Rogue Cultivator 2705? Mo Wuji also stopped. He discovered that the passage he entered wasn''t really a passage. When he scanned the Half Moon Immortal Palace from the outside, it appeared as though the Half Moon Immortal Palace was filled with limitless number of paths and passages. However, after he entered, he could only see a vast land which was thousands of kilometers wide. This only gave him one impression: This was an unfathomably wide desert. Moreover, his spiritual will had been restricted, and he wasn''t even able to release it out. Mo Wuji even tried activating the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel but it was also affected by the domain''s restraints. Fortunately, the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel could still be extended to form a radius of 3 meters around him. This place seemed to be under a huge seal, and this seal was specially used to seal a cultivator''s spiritual will. The call of the half moon key was still beckoning, allowing him to know what direction he should be heading in. Once again, Mo Wuji tried condensing his spiritual eye; he wanted to test whether his spiritual eye would also be sealed. Soon, Mo Wuji was met with glee. With his spiritual eye, a whole new layer seemed to have formed over the boundless desert. The place he was standing in was actually still the passage. In this passage, there were some areas which were as wide as 5 kilometers or even more, while there were also some areas which were only 1 meter wide. He previously felt that he had landed into an unfathomably huge desert, because this place was a peak grade illusion array. Mo Wuji also had a shocking discovery; not only was he able to discern the situation in his illusory passage, he could even observe the situation in the neighbouring passages. On the passage right next to his, he even saw the space beast Worldly Immortal expert, Bao Lie. The moment his eyes discovered Bao Lie, the thought of eliminating this beast fleeted across his mind. But he was soon able to calm down. Bao Lie was not Yan Qiren; 10 Yan Qiren might not even be able to beat 1 Bao Lie. Ambushing Bao Lie with his current abilities, even if it succeeded, might result in consequences he could not bear. It was best to simply wait till the treasures of the Half Moon Immortal Palace gets in his hands before he does anything else. When he thought of this, Mo Wuji retracted his spiritual eye. In just that bit of time, Mo Wuji''s head already started aching. Ostensibly, this spiritual eye could not be casually used. Originally, he thought that the Spiritual Eye Sacred Art he gained enlightenment on would have as much value as chicken ribs. To think that these chicken ribs actually helped him escape with his life previously, and even helped him see through this peak grade illusion array. Truly, only there were only sacred arts which one might not know how to use; there weren''t any ''chicken rib¡¯ sacred arts. At certain times, support-type sacred arts were more valuable than attack-type ones. ¡­ By the time Bei Suting rushed to the previously chaotic battlefield, what she saw was an even more chaotic battle. The only difference was, everyone was madly fighting to enter the half moon shaped gate. Bei Suting immediately understood, the Half Moon Immortal Palace had truly appeared. She swept her spiritual will outwards, but she was not able to find Mo Wuji''s figure. Facing the Half Moon Immortal Palace, even if she didn''t have any half moon keys, she still didn''t want to miss it. Her figure flashed, as she dashed towards the half moon gate. The radiant sword in Bei Suting''s hand shone with sword qi; the crowds of people in front of her were immediately carved into a road of blood. Immediately, her figure transformed into a shadow, traversing this blood road into the Half Moon Immortal Palace. All the other Worldly Immortals had entered through the same method. Naturally, there was no gentle way to enter the Half Moon Immortal Palace. After Bei Suting entered the Half Moon Immortal Palace, the flood of cultivators rushing to squeeze into the gate started to ease down. A few cultivators trying to enter the Palace and pick up some leftovers soon came to understand, this was a place where only Nihility Gods and above could enter. If they, as low levelled cultivators, tried to squeeze into the gate, they would instead be sending themselves to their deaths. Because every time a Worldly Immortal comes over, he would directly turn them into a road of blood. ¡­ "Kacha!" A sharp knife suddenly appeared from nowhere, directly stabbed towards Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji didn''t dodge, he might have been directly sliced in half. At the very first moment, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye, and he did not hesitate to rush towards the opening the knife appeared from. As expected, the moment Mo Wuji dashed over, the knife started to dissipate. On the other hand, a lance appeared from Mo Wuji''s side. This lance was a actual weapon. If Mo Wuji had chosen to be affected by that knife and dodged in that direction, then he would have thrown himself towards the lance. This made Mo Wuji worried; he wasn''t worried about himself, but Solitary Red Knot. In this huge illusion array, there were even many deadly traps. However, when he thought that Solitary Red Knot had spent a longer time than him in space, he guessed that Solitary Red Knot should be more aware of such stuff. Thus, Mo Wuji cast his concerns aside. At this instant, the call from his half moon key became increasingly intense. He simply pulled out the half moon key and swiftly moved in the direction of the intense beckoning. In half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji stopped. In front of him, was a half moon shaped gate. This gate was slightly smaller than the one which appeared in space, and on the half moon gate, there was a relatively small key hole. Mo Wuji did not try forcefully opening the door. If the half moon gate could simply be opened by brute force, then there wouldn''t be a need for the half moon keys. He truly didn''t have to time to try anything, what he needed now was to quickly raise his capabilities. When the half moon key approached the key hold, it was as though there was a vacuum from the other side of the key hole, instantly sucking the half moon key in. "Crack¡­" With a series of ''crack¡¯ sounds, the half moon gate opened and the half moon key landed on the floor. Mo Wuji picked up the half moon key and extended his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will inwards. He immediately noticed a strong corrosive force from within, but with the opening of the half moon gate, the corrosive force started to dissipate. Mo Wuji also saw what was behind the door; it was a stone house which was only a few meters wide. In the center of the stone house, there was a circular table with some crudely made teacups on it. At the corner of the stone house, there was also a chain of shackles extending from the ground. However, the shackles did not seem to be restraining anything. As to a treasure, Mo Wuji didn''t even see anything. However, he did see a ring. This ring was placed not far from the shackle, looking rather jarring. Perched on Mo Wuji''s shoulder, Shuai Guo was chirping around with disdain. After seeing what was inside the stone house, it clearly didn''t think that there was any treasure here. Mo Wuji walked over and slowly picked the ring up. He found that the ring was filled with various kinds of seals. Mo Wuji carefully studied the restrictions and he soon discovered that these restrictions had not been placed by the ring''s owner. No one would restrict his ring like so. Even with spiritual will, the owner would find it hard to access the ring in a short period of time. Much less in this place where spiritual will was sealed. For an average person¡¯s sealed ring, not only would he allow his spiritual will, he would also allow his willpower to access what was inside. However, this restriction could not be accessed through willpower. Here, Mo Wuji also couldn''t use his spiritual will. But he had the spirit storage channel. The spirit storage channel''s spiritual will instantly enveloped the ring. With Mo Wuji''s understanding of seals and restrictions, coupled with the erosion after time, Mo Wuji merely spent an incense''s time to break through the ring¡¯s restrictions. After breaking the external restrictions, what was inside was exactly as Mo Wuji expected: there was another layer of restrictions. From Mo Wuji''s perspective, this layer should be the one set up by the ring''s owner. It was just that the ring''s owner had already perished, so the restrictions had become extremely thin. Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will merely needed a single flush and the ring was easily opened. Mo Wuji could finally have a clear look of what was inside the ring. The space inside was not that big, compared to Mo Wuji''s own ring, it wasn''t bigger by much. However, Mo Wuji could clearly feel that stability of the world in this ring was much more than all the rings he had combined. In a corner of the ring, was a pile of Earth grade spirit stones. However, this mountain-like pile of Earth grade spirit stones did not catch Mo Wuji''s eye. His attention was focused on ten over spirit stone slags piled next to the Earth grade spirit stones. These spirit stone slags looked like they were at a higher grade than Earth grade spirit stones, but at the same time, they weren''t Heaven grade spirit stones. Mo Wuji casually took a stone slag out; a sort of pure yet violent elemental energy flooded into his meridians. In merely a moment, Mo Wuji felt as though his meridians had been fully filled with new spiritual energy. He then looked back at the spirit stone slag in his hands; it did not seem to have become much smaller. This was a new type of spirit stone which was superior to Earth grade spirit stones, but not exactly the same as Heaven grade spirit stones. In terms of helping a cultivator break through a bottleneck, it could not be compared to a Heaven grade spirit stone. However, in the cultivation process itself, it was no less than a Heaven grade spirit stone. The key thing was that it contained vastly more spiritual energy than a Heaven grade spirit stone; its purity seemed to also be higher by a bit. Could this be the spirit stones used by Earthly Immortals? At this instant, Mo Wuji seemed to understand why the Star King Mountain¡¯s three clans were able to rise to where they were today. This sort of thing could definitely give a Great Circle of True God Stage cultivator the chance to advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage, or even the Earthly Immortal Stage. If this was paired with a supreme cultivation technique and a sacred art, then¡­ Mo Wuji''s gaze soon turned towards some jade letters. He held one jade letter in his hand. With a quick sweep with his spiritual will, he immediately knew that this was a cultivation technique, and it was even one at the Treasured Heaven Grade. It''s name was Gold Cloud Formula. It could be said that except for Cen Shuyin¡¯s Typhoon Formula, there was no other technique in Zhen Mo Continent that could compare with this. At the back of the jade letter, there was even a pseudo-sacred art - the Fallen Cloud Gold Arrow. Mo Wuji shook his head and kept the jade letter. Whether it was a pseudo-sacred art or a Treasured Heaven Grade technique, this was a great treasure which would send reverberations through the entire Zhen Mo Continent. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t interested in them. As for the other things in the ring, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about them. He carefully stored the ring in a jade box then walked to the wall corner, picking up that steel shackle. Even though countless years had passed, the shackles still exuded an unyielding aura. This was no immortal palace. Mo Wuji was sure, this stone house was merely a prison cell. Chapter 347: Half Moon Prison Chapter 347: Half Moon Prison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This place once confined a cultivator, and the ring he just obtained belonged to that cultivator. As for the exterior restrictions on the ring, they should have been inscribed by the person who confined that cultivator. What made Mo Wuji curious was, why did that person go through all that trouble to inscribe restrictions over the prisoner¡¯s ring, instead of taking it away. After all, there was a Treasured Heaven Grade technique inside, and even spirit stones which far outstripped Earth grade spirit stones. If it was some other person, he wouldn¡¯t have thrown these stuff here, right? Unless... As Mo Wuji thought of this, his heart started to race faster. Unless the things in the ring didn¡¯t even catch that person¡¯s eye? Or that person might not even be bothered to open it. How was this possible? A Treasured Heaven Grade technique was already one of the best things in Zhen Xing. Even if he didn¡¯t need it, he could still sell it away for a huge sum of money. To not even care about such things, how godly was that person? As Mo Wuji thought of this, he instantly furrowed his brows. He knew that there was nothing that was impossible in this world. If it happened, it meant that it was possible. Let¡¯s say that there was a storage bag filled with Huang grade spirit stones, and there was even Spirit Condensing Pills coveted by Channel Opening Stage cultivators. If he was in the Channel Opening Stage, that storage bag would simply be the best thing that happened to him. But now? If he found it resting at the side of the street, he wouldn¡¯t even be bothered to bend down to pick it up. If it was really such a case, then how powerful was that prison warden? He must definitely be stronger than an Earthly Immortal. A cultivator past the Earthly Immortal Stage, would that be a whole different realm? There were a total of 99 dao gates in the Half Moon Immortal Palace. According to his conjecture, that was enough to imprison 99 cultivators. The more Mo Wuji thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. But what use did a cultivator past the Earthly Immortal Stage had in imprisoning these cultivators who only had Earth grade spirit stones? Even though Mo Wuji racked his brains, he still couldn¡¯t understand the reason. The only thing he could confirm was, the Half Moon Immortal Palace was a prison. The treasures in each dao gate were the items left behind by the cultivators imprisoned there. As for those prisoners, there were very likely to have been eroded after time. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and shot out a ball of Scholar¡¯s Heart. The fireball landed on the shackle and burnt for a few minutes. However, there wasn¡¯t any change in that shackle. Even though the Scholar¡¯s Heart was still weak, but its temperature was enough to even melt Celestial Sunflower Gold. At this moment, it couldn¡¯t even burn a bit of the shackle. Mo Wuji swiftly exited the room. He took out the full moon key formed from the fusion of two half moon keys; however this time, he did not manage to feel any form of call or direction. Once again, he condensed his spiritual eye. Mo Wuji intended to use his Wind Escape Technique to traverse this passage. He guessed, the final dao gate must definitely be the deepest place in the half moon palace. He never expected that the moment his spiritual eye condensed, Mo Wuji saw the person he wanted to see the most - Xia Mu. This fella was the Star King Mountain Star Wars Hall Master Xia Dandao¡¯s son. Mo Wuji had never personally met Xia Mu, but Chu Qianlou did show him a drawing of Xia Mu¡¯s appearance. When Chu Qianlou mentioned that Xia Mu had forced Cen Shuyin into the Thorny Wind Gate, the seed of revenge had already sprouted in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. The instant he saw Xia Mu, killing intent exploded out from Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. He hoped that Xia Dandao didn¡¯t only have this only son. Otherwise, the Xia Clan was going to lose its last heir. Mo Wuji swiftly passed through two passages, arriving not far from Xia Mu. Before he acted, he heard Xia Mu constantly looking around in all directions, and at the same time, softly calling, "Uncle Guangyuan¡­ Uncle Guangyuan¡­" Mo Wuji hurriedly stopped his actions; this fella actually had a bodyguard. Xia Mu himself was in True God Intermediate Stage. If that Uncle Guangyuan was Xia Mu¡¯s bodyguard, then he should be a Worldly Immortal expert. Mo Wuji was still wondering, why would Xia Dandao allow Xia Mu to explore in the Half Moon Immortal Palace alone. One must know that a True God Intermediate Stage cultivator really didn¡¯t count for much in the Half Moon Immortal Palace. So this fella actually had the protection of a Worldly Immortal ah. However, no matter how Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eyes searched, he didn¡¯t see anyone in the surroundings. But from Xia Mu¡¯s appearance, he did not seem to be blindly calling; the Uncle Guangyuan should have been beside him not long ago. After calling out a few times to no avail, Xia Mu just took out a half moon key, and carefully proceeded onwards. Mo Wuji somewhat came to an understanding; this place wasn¡¯t simply under an illusion array, there might actually be some transfer arrays around. Those with the half moon key did not seem to be affected. Those without, might actually be casually transported away at any moment. That Uncle Guangyuan was very likely to have been transported away. What gave Mo Wuji a pleasant surprise was, Xia Mu actually also had a half moon key. Mo Wuji swiftly rushed over. Xia Mu¡¯s cultivation was a few levels higher than Mo Wuji, the moment Mo Wuji approached him, he could feel it. Before he could do anything, Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword had already sliced through space, slashing towards Xia Mu¡¯s waist. Xia Mu¡¯s cultivation might have been slightly higher than Mo Wuji than Mo Wuji, but in terms of abilities, he really couldn¡¯t compare. Moreover, Mo Wuji was sneak attacking him. Xia Mu didn¡¯t even have the chance as he was directly forced to the ground my Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. "It¡¯s you?" Xia Mu was immediately able to recognise Mo Wuji. Previously when Mo Wuji was surrounded by several experts, including his own father, Xia Mu had saw it all. "My wife was forced by you into the Thorny Wind Gate?" Mo Wuji slowly walked over, and directly snatched the half moon key out of Xia Mu¡¯s hand. As for Xia Mu¡¯s storage ring, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go and touch it. Xia Mu was the Star Wars Hall Master¡¯s darling child; there was definitely some tracking imprint on the storage ring. Actually Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t afraid of Xia Dandao¡¯s ability. But Xia Dandao was also in the Half Moon Immortal Palace; Mo Wuji truly did not want to waste his time entangling himself with such an expert. Wait till his power rises, he would just find Xia Dandao himself. "I¡¯m the Star Wars Hall Master¡¯s only son, and I¡¯m even the future heir to the Star King Mountain. I suggest for you not to kill me, otherwise, you might not be able to escape this Half Moon Immortal Palace. As long as you give up on acting against me, the half moon key is yours, and I¡¯m also willing to swear a poison oath¡­" Xia Mu¡¯s tone was calm, and he avoided the crucial points, directly avoiding Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Before he could complete his words, his head was directly trampled by Mo Wuji¡¯s feet, "I asked you a simple question. Where did all these nonsense come from?" Xia Mu¡¯s heart sank; he dreamt that Xia Guangyuan would appear by his side at this instant. Just as he was thinking of how to deal with this, he heard Mo Wuji say, "Since you don¡¯t wish to say anything, then forget it." "No, I¡¯ll talk¡­" Xia Mu hurriedly shrieked. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t give him any chances. Stepping down forcefully, Xia Mu¡¯s skull was directly trampled into meat juice. Xia Dandao, who was not much far away from Xia Mu, seemed to feel something. He lifted his head and scanned the four surroundings, and suddenly rushed towards Mo Wuji in a crazed manner. Even though Mo Wuji and him were getting increasingly closer, unfortunately for him, the two were separated by a passage. He also didn¡¯t have the means like Mo Wuji to see through the passage¡¯s illusion array. Mo Wuji lightheartedly exhaled a breath of air. In his heart, he silently said: Shuyin, I¡¯ve helped you taken a bit of revenge. Just when he was about to destroy Xia Mu¡¯s corpse, his spiritual eye saw Yan Pingzhi rapidly approaching. With Yan Pingzhi¡¯s speed, it would at most take a few breath¡¯s time to reach here. Yan Pingzhi was a Worldly Immortal. Mo Wuji did not dare to hesitate as he hurriedly rushed away with his Wind Escape Technique. Xia Mu¡¯s half moon key had helped him feel a new direction. Mo Wuji did not see Xia Dandao who was now two passages away from him. If he did, with his personality, he would definitely use some tricks to cause an enmity between the Xia Clan and Yan Clan. Not long after Mo Wuji left, Yan Pingzhi¡¯s figure landed by Xia Mu¡¯s corpse. "This is Xia Clan¡¯s Xia Mu? Who was actually so ballsy and actually dared to kill him?" Yan Pingzhi doubtfully stared at the dead Xia Mu. Thereafter, he bent his waist and placed his hand at Xia Mu¡¯s waist which had been sliced by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. "So it was actually Mo Wuji¡­" Yan Pingzhi¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. He raised his head and looked at the direction Mo Wuji ran at, and swiftly raced over. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye also saw the chasing Yan Pingzhi. Unfortunately, his abilities weren¡¯t high enough for him to ambush Yan Pingzhi. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t mind killing a Worldly Immortal. If this was outside, Mo Wuji would truly be helpless when facing the pursuit of a Worldly Immortal. But in the Half Moon Immortal Palace, he only needed to change to the next passage and he could avoid Yan Pingzhi. Half Moon Immortal Palace¡¯s illusion array; even Mo Wuji himself didn¡¯t fully understand it. But this was not important, as long as his spiritual eye could see through the array¡¯s domain, that was enough. Half an incense¡¯s time later, Mo Wuji used Xia Mu¡¯s half moon key to open another dao gate. Just like his previous gate, he saw a shackle, a stone table, and the same crudely made teacups. This time, no matter how Mo Wuji searched, he wasn¡¯t able to find any ring. Could the ring here already have been taken away? Mo Wuji bent his waist and examined the shackles with his spiritual will. The shackles were the same as the previous one, but the only difference was, these shackles lacked the unyielding killing intent which the previous one had. Since there was nothing in this gate, Mo Wuji no longer wasted his time searching, but raced towards the end of the passages. The Half Moon Immortal Palace was like a maze, with passage after passage, coupled with various kinds of illusion arrays. For an average person to follow a passage to the end, was not possible. If Mo Wuji was not able to condense his spiritual eye, he also would not have been able to reach the end. With these passages filled with various illusions, perhaps he might reach the halfway mark before being lost again. Along the way, he constantly used the Wind Escape Technique to move. With the help of his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji spent a whole half a day before stopping. In front of him, was a red full moon gate. The key hole of the gate was the shape of a full moon, which was the same as the key in his hand. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t immediately open the door; his eyes landed on the top of the full moon gate. There were a few huge black words on the top: Yong Ying 11th Prison: Half Moon Prison. What dogshit Half Moon Palace? This was really a prison, and it was actually given the name of Half Moon Prison. As for Yong Ying, what kind of place was that? Chapter 348: Where Geniuses Are Imprisoned Chapter 348: Where Geniuses Are Imprisoned Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji placed the full moon key into the red full moon gate¡¯s keyhole. A light, crisp sound rang, and the red full moon gate started to open automatically. Before the full moon key could fall on the ground, Mo Wuji grabbed it in his hand. In front of him, was a small courtyard, and in the center of the courtyard was a small patch of land. However, there weren''t any forms of spiritual plants growing on that land; that land seemed to have been barren and wasted for a long time. In the center of the barren land, was a stone path, the stone path led to a pavilion, behind the pavilion was a house. Mo Wuji was just about to go take a look when suddenly the door closed behind him. Seeing that there was still the full moon shaped keyhole, Mo Wuji did not care too much about it. He could just open the gate again later. Mo Wuji walked across the stone path and arrived at the pavilion. After entering the pavilion, Mo Wuji discovered that there was a corpse lying at the side. This was different from those prison cells where the corpses had disappeared; this corpse was actually considered quite complete. Its skeleton still emitted a slight gold luster. Clearly, this corpse¡¯s cultivation was not simple. It might actually have been an Earthly Immortal expert. Mo Wuji bent down and examined the corpse carefully. The corpse didn''t have any sort of storage ring or treasure. Cautiously turning the corpse over, Mo Wuji discovered that the bones at the back of the corpse had turned black. It seems like the person had been back stabbed, and he had been stabbed with a poisoned knife. Circumventing the corpse, Mo Wuji walked into the house. Compared to the stone houses in the other prison cells, this house was much bigger. It looked like there were two room, and there was even a guest reception room. In the center of the guest reception room, there was a tea table. On the tea table, there was a teapot and some jade cups. From the looks of it, Mo Wuji could tell that they have been displayed there and had not been touched for many years. The first room was unlatched. Mo Wuji swept his spiritual will inwards and found that there was another corpse within. Ascertaining that there wasn''t any form of danger, Mo Wuji swiftly opened the door and went on. Indeed, there was a corpse behind the door. This corpse was facing downwards. The silk brocade clothing on him had yet to decay. In his hand, was a brush, but the brush had gone dry and the brush tips had already fallen off. Once again, Mo Wuji flipped the corpse around. At the center of the corpse''s forehead, was an entire patch of black. Ostensibly, this person had died under the same hands as the person outside, and they had died under the same poison. The brush in this person''s hand was actually an actual writing brush, and not some sort of magic treasure. Moreover, seeing that his fatal wound was actually at his forehead, it meant that this person wasn''t guarding against the person who was right in front of him. To be without guard, there were two possibilities. One, the two had an extremely close relationship, so this person trusted the other. Two, the difference in their statuses was extremely wide, so in this person''s eyes, the other wouldn''t even dare to kill him. It was exactly the same as the previous corpse; this fella didn''t have a ring on him. Mo Wuji was a little speechless, and started to search more detailedly. If the two rings were still here, there might have been precious treasures which are better than what''s found in an Earthly Immortal''s ring. Mo Wuji started to size up the room. The room was roughly the area of 20 squares. At all four sides, there were many books; these books were arranged very neatly. At one angle of the room, there was a writing table. On the writing table, there were some manuscripts. By the side of the manuscripts, was a set of shackles. Mo Wuji slowly walked over; he was worried that these manuscripts were too old, and even a slight breeze would cause them to crumble. Mo Wuji slowly approached the manuscripts and pinched it with his hands. He found that these paper was made from some unknown material, it was actually extremely tough, and it did not show any traces of erosion from time. Could a prisoner have been brought in here? Then that prisoner suddenly erupted and killed the prison warden? This possibility was highly likely, but Mo Wuji felt that it should not be the case. Even if the prisoner had been brought in here, the prison warden should not have completely let down his alertness, and allow that person to stab him right in the forehead. Mo Wuji picked up the topmost paper. On it, was a simple poem. It could be seen that this warden was a poem enthusiast. The second and third pieces of paper, on the other hand, were filled with some messy drawings. Mo Wuji wasn''t able to discern them. Placing these papers down, Mo Wuji bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the floor. Mo Wuji was instantly engrossed with its contents. "Meng Yinsan, Red Lightning Star earth-type cultivator. Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 3111, 14th day of the 6th month, ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying¡¯s 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Room 31. Honest personality; Five Star Genius. Ever since he started cultivation, he took 196 years to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. During his time in Half Moon Prison, Meng Yinsan performed extremely well. He was well-behaved and not rebellious. On Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 3224, 2nd day of the 7th month, he formed a blood oath, forever willing¡­" The writing abruptly stopped here. Thereafter, something sudden seemed to have taken place. Mo Wuji held the paper in his hand, and looked towards the table and position of the seats. Instantly, the scene of the murder appeared in his mind. The warden was sitting on the chair, while Meng Yinsan was sitting across the table. It seems like Meng Yinsan was a good actor. He had promised to swear a blood oath to pledge his loyalty to this allegiance, so this prison warden was extremely trusting of Meng Yinsan. He even helped Meng Yinsan open the shackles, and casually left the shackles on the table. At the same time, he record down the information. Just as this warden was recording down Meng Yinsan¡¯s information, Meng Yinsan suddenly attacked and killed this warden. Perhaps the actual process was much more complicated than his conjecture, but Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding of this Half Moon Prison seemed to have deepened. Firstly, to be locked in this Half Moon Prison, one must first be an extreme genius. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have qualified to be locked in here. As for what Meng Yinsan¡¯s classification of "Five Star Genius", Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very clear. But if that fella could ascend into the Heavenly Immortal Stage in over 190 days, he definitely wasn¡¯t a simple fella. Under the watchful eye of the Half Moon Prison Warden, he honestly stayed for 100 over years, before he made this sudden strike. One could see how tolerant he was. As for that record of his honest personality, Mo Wuji did not believe a half bit of it. Meng Yinsan could be so tolerant, then suddenly made a move to kill the prison warden; how was he an honest person? Moreover, if this Half Moon Prison Warden was in charge of all these geniuses, he wouldn¡¯t be any worse himself. This Meng Yinsan must have spent the 100 over years he spent here to secretly practise and bide his time. Thereafter, he made use of the time when he was about to pledge his blood oath to suddenly erupt. Who was the owner of this Half Moon Prison? To actually lock up so many Heavenly Immortal geniuses. What about Heavenly Immortals who weren¡¯t geniuses? Mo Wuji thought about the broken void that Xu Chihuang mentioned previously. Perhaps that might have been what happened when an Earthly Immortal ascended to a Heavenly Immortal. If that was the case, then after one became a Heavenly Immortal and entered the broken void, he would be welcomed by the Half Moon Prison. No, that¡¯s not right. The Half Moon Prison was just one of the many prisons. Moreover, to enter into Half Moon Prison, one must first be an exceptional genius. Mo Wuji walked to one of the books by the side and casually flipped to the first page. "Liu Chengyi, Ring Abyss Star metal-type cultivator, Six Star Genius. Yong Ying 844 Calendar, Year 8721, 21th day of the 11th month, ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying¡¯s 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Room 19. Stubborn personality¡­" The back was further detailed information on Liu Changyi, even what cultivation technique he used was recorded within. Placing this book down, Mo Wuji fetched a second book. The contents on the first page was around the same. "Jin Dai, Clear Mill Star water-type cultivator, Five Star Genius. Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 321, 13th day of the 1st month ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying¡¯s 11th Prison. He didn¡¯t express any words of joy. On the same year, the 24th day of the 9th month, he died¡­" Mo Wuji continued to flip through ten over books; they were all of similar records. If the cultivator died early, then the book would be thinner. If the cultivator died after a long time, the book would be thicker. There were so many of such books. Clearly, many people had perished here. "Ye Li, Earth Star wood-type cultivator, Four Star Genius. Yong Ying 844 Calendar, Year 7690, 3rd day of the 4th month ascended into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying¡¯s 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Room 13. Mischievous personality¡­" When Mo Wuji saw this page, his heart started racing. Could this Earth Star be Earth? Unfortunately, the later pages recorded what happened to Ye Li within Half Moon Prison, and didn¡¯t touch anything about Earth. Mo Wuji also guessed that it might not be Earth. On Earth, spiritual energy was sparse. It was hard to cultivate even with a cultivation technique, much less ascend through the void. Even though these books weren¡¯t treasures, Mo Wuji still lifted his hand and swept everything into his storage ring. There were many detailed contents which he still wanted to slowly see when he had the time. Mo Wuji then kept the shackles before leaving this room and entering the next one. Just as Mo Wuji reached the entrance of the other room, a dazzling white light shone from within. At this instant, Mo Wuji discovered that this room was actually the central hub. Mo Wuji was knowledgeable on arrays, and from that light, he knew that someone was actually refining this place. Ostensibly, this Half Moon Prison was a magic treasure. It was probably a treasure which even exceeded supreme-grade spiritual equipment. Unfortunately, the place to refine the Half Moon Prison wasn¡¯t here. He also didn¡¯t know who was the fella with the f*cking luck to actually find the place to refine the Half Moon Prison. No matter who it was, it wasn¡¯t his friend. The moment that person refines the Half Moon Prison, then he would be screwed. The first thing Mo Wuji did was to immediately flee. However, he immediately recalled that if he leaves Half Moon Prison now, he would be sending himself to his death. Luckily, Mo Wuji understood arrays and runes, and from the central hub of the Half Moon Prison, he could understand a few of its rules. Even though he could not stop the refinement of the Half Moon Prison, he could spread this information to everyone else here. There were so many people here, and refining the Half Moon Prison wasn¡¯t something that could be done within one to two days. If that fella that was secretly refining the Half Moon Prison gets discovered, that fella would be screwed. Chapter 349: Star Lord Dies Chapter 349: Star Lord Dies Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji threw out multiple array flags; the white light from the central hub immediately dimmed down by quite a bit. Following which, the entire Half Moon Prison started to tremble. Even though there were illusion arrays throughout Half Moon Prison, this did not mean that the cultivators within were unable to feel that someone was refining the Half Moon Prison. As expected, the moment Mo Wuji touched the central hub, that fella refining the Half Moon Prison immediately felt it. Instantly, that fella slowed down. Clearly, he was afraid that someone would find him. On the other hand, Mo Wuji walked into the room and stimulated the central hub¡¯s array. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know what would happen by doing so, it would still be better than waiting for that fella to refine the Half Moon Prison. "Boom¡­" The moment Mo Wuji stimulated the central hub¡¯s array, a wave of roaring sound resounded throughout the entire prison. The illusion arrays within Half Moon Prison started to clear up. Not only so, the spiritual will restrictions suddenly disappeared. Mo Wuji could instantly send his spiritual will sweeping outwards. Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart; he could see countless cultivators each rushing out of Half Moon Prison. Solitary Red Knot was among those cultivators, and had already reached the entrance of Half Moon Prison. Right now, Mo Wuji was only worried whether he would be detected by other¡¯s spiritual will. Just as Mo Wuji was worrying frantically, he heard a "Kacha!" sound. Suddenly, an array entrance emerged within the room. What was pleasantly surprising was that this array entrance was actually a spatial gate which led into the vast space. Clearly, this was a second exit to the Half Moon Prison. If he didn¡¯t leave now, then when? The moment Mo Wuji stepped out of the spatial gate, a light breeze blew past him, his figure transformed into a flash as he disappeared into vast space. The instant he flew away, Mo Wuji scanned the surroundings with his spiritual will. He saw countless space armies. However, he didn¡¯t leave through the first half moon gate, but a hidden spatial gate. Thus, when he raced out of Half Moon Prison, no one paid attention to him. Everyone¡¯s eyes were still on the half moon gate. While countless of cultivators were rushing out, there were still some that were trying to force themselves in. Mo Wuji did not stop and deliberate. If it was some other time, he might have used this opportunity to earn some space contribution points. But now, what he needed the most was to raise his own abilities. There¡¯s no need to talk about others; just to deal with that Monk Wu Xiang alone would require him to at least be in True God Advanced Stage. There was no one who could depend on here. Mo Wuji constantly used his Wind Escape Technique for an entire day. Only then did he fetch out his round flying ship, dumped Shuai Guo inside, and continued on his journey. ¡­ After Mo Wuji left, the battle in front of the half moon gate did not ease down because someone was refining Half Moon Prison. In fact, the moment the space beast Bao Lie emerged from the gate, he immediately sent out the attack order, sending the innumerable hordes of space beasts clashing against the Zhen Mo Continent''s cultivator armies. If this was somewhere else, Chi Tong could choose not to partake in the battle. However, the Universal Hall was right behind, Chi Tong had no other option. Bao Lie brought countless space beasts and charged over. He could order the Zhen Mo Continent''s soldiers to defend against the charge. If it was only the space beasts, then it was still manageable. However, when Gu Nuo Star Tribe''s Sid emerged, he actually mustered his cavalry army and charged towards the Zhen Mo Continent''s cultivators. Chi Tong''s greatest worry was the coalition between the space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe. Now, his worries had truly appeared. "Hall Master Xia, Hall Master Yan, Hall Master Wu, immediately bring the Star Wars Army, Star Cloud Army and Northern Star Army to intercept the Gu Nuo cavalry. I will handle the space beasts¡­" Chi Tong issued out the orders as he led the charge towards Bao Lie. He was not willing to have a head-on battle with Bao Lie. After all, Bao Lie was an advanced Class 8 space beast, and he wasn''t even able of killing it. However, the space beasts now wanted to occupy Universal Hall. So how could he allow that? Soon, Chi Tong was dumbfounded. Besides Wu Lingzhi who listened to his orders and brought a portion Northern Star Army to welcome the enemy''s charge, the other portion of the Northern Star Army didn''t move. As for the Star Wars Hall''s Star Wars Army and the Star Cloud Hall''s Star Cloud Army, they didn''t even budge an inch. Chi Tong cried out with grievance, "Xia Dandao, Yan Pingzhi, hurry and order your troops¡­" If the Star Wars Army and the Star Cloud Army didn''t intervene, the half of the Northern Star Army led by Wu Lingzhi would be utterly defeated. Yan Pingzhi blandly said, "Star Lord, that Mo Wuji is the perpetrator who killed my Yan Clan Patriarch. In the Half Moon Immortal Palace, he also killed the Xia Clan genius, Xia Mu. Moreover, he even killed the space beast''s Young Wolf Prince. So we all hope that Star Lord could hand over Mo Wuji, and this would settle all the enmity." Yan Pingzhi''s words represented the intentions of the three great clans and multiple hall masters. Even Bao Lie and Gu Nuo Star Tribe''s Sid understood the meaning behind his words. He was implying that the person who was currently refining the Half Moon Immortal Palace, was the one who held three half moon keys, or even a full moon key - Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji actually had the galls to refine the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Wasn''t that because he had the support of Chi Tong? "Good, good¡­" Chi Tong''s entire body was trembling. He finally understood the severe consequences behind the internal fractures within Star King Mountain. Previously, he thought that internal disputes were inevitable. As long as everyone could remain united against outsiders during a war, that would be enough. But now, at the most crucial moment, Star King Mountain was crumbling internally. What hand over Mo Wuji? Didn''t they know that he wasn''t concealing Mo Wuji? Raising such a laughable excuse, weren''t they just trying to borrow these external help to get rid of him, Chi Tong? How laughable. If he, Chi Tong, was killed, would the space beasts and Gu Nuo savages give up on their beautiful and bountiful Zhen Xing? "Boom!" Gu Nuo Star Tribe''s cavalry finally clashed with the half of the Northern Star Army led by Wu Lingzhi. Despite being the number one army in Zhen Mo Continent, the Northern Star Army couldn''t handle the Gu Nuo Star Tribe''s charge, much less an incomplete Northern Star Army. They were like weeds, being cut down at large patches at a time. Chi Tong almost coughed out blood as he shouted, "Brave soldiers of my Zhen Xing, no matter where you''re from, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts wish to take over our beloved Zhen Xing. As long as I, Chi Tong, have a single breath in me, I will not allow it to happen. If anyone is willing to fight with me, Chi Tong, then charge! Those who are unwilling, can wait quietly by the side as Zhen Xing gets destroyed. Maybe you will live well as a space beast''s slave¡­" Chi Tong paused. At this moment, he was already fighting against multiple experts, one of which was even an Earthly Immortal from Gu Nuo Star Tribe. A few hot-blooded cultivators rallied with Chi Tong''s call, charging towards the chaotic battlefield. But the three big clans¡¯ army and Wu Xiang Hall''s army didn''t move. Among Zhen Mo Continent''s ten armies, only four of them didn''t participate in battle. However, facing the combined army from Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts, Zhen Xing''s cultivators were constantly killed and forced into retreat. Chi Tong''s entire body was riddled with injuries; his entire person was stained red. Several of the Star King Mountain''s Worldly Immortals had already perished. After fighting for two consecutively days, Zhen Xing''s numbers were constantly declining. By this time, even the spectating Zhen Xing cultivators felt that something wasn¡¯t right. Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beast horde don¡¯t look like they simply want to get rid of Chi Tong then force out the Mo Wuji who was currently refining the Half Moon Immortal Palace. They really look like they want to invade Universal Hall ah... At this time, a series of loud roars suddenly reverberated throughout space. Following which, a colossal black palace completely appeared in space. This black Palace had a half moon gate. The moment this black palace appeared, it rapidly started to shrink. "It''s the Half Moon Immortal Palace¡­" Someone immediately called out. "Someone has refined the Half Moon Immortal Palace." Another person added. The truth was already clear. The Half Moon Immortal Palace continued to shrink rapidly. Finally, it became a speck of light which shot into a youth''s forehead. "Lei Hongji¡­" Many cultivators who recognised this youth cried out in shock. This was completely out of everyone''s expectations. The one who refined the Half Moon Immortal Palace was Lei Hongji. They thought that it was Mo Wuji was was refining the Half Moon Immortal Palace. After all, Mo Wuji held three half moon keys. "Hongji, hurry and come over." Seeing that Lei Hongji had refined the Half Moon Immortal Palace, Chi Tong celebrated and called out hurriedly. As long as Lei Hongji comes over and unleashes the Half Moon Immortal Palace, coupled with his elemental energy, they might be able to defend against the enemies. Lei Hongji silently looked at Chi Tong. Then, his figure flashed, and a talisman lit up. Soon, he disappeared into boundless space. Very clearly, he had used a peak grade Wind Escape Talisman. Chi Tong stared blankly at Lei Hongji''s disappearing figure. He did not believe what his eyes had just seen. Even though he didn''t teach Lei Hongji much, he truly treated Lei Hongji as his son. Now, Lei Hongji had actually deserted him after refining the Half Moon Immortal Palace. This was simply condemning him to death. In name, Lei Hongji was his, Chi Tong¡¯s disciple. Now that his disciple had taken the Half Moon Immortal Palace away, why would Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts let go of him? Moreover, this group of savages wanted to occupy Zhen Xing. "Pui!" Just as Chi Tong was still in disbelief, a beam of light shot through his forehead. "Star Lord!" Xu Chihuang, who had already lost one of his arms, fiercely rushed over, pulling Chi Tong away. Chi Yong suddenly said, "Brave soldiers of my Zhen Mo Continent, listen to my first order! Immediately abandon this battle and retreat to the Universal Hall. As long as Star King Mountain is still here, and the will of Zhen Xing lives on, then not a single one of these barbaric beasts will set foot on Zhen Xing¡­ Listen to my second order! The next Star Lord of Star King Mountain will be Rogue Cultivator 2705, that is Mo Wuji. Anyone who objects will be deemed a rebel to my Star King Mountain, and will be expelled out of Star King Mountain¡­" Chi Tong burnt his life force to speak these words. "Take revenge for the Star Lord¡­" As Chi Tong¡¯s life force gradually disappeared, all of the Zhen Xing cultivators were infuriated. Even though Chi Tong didn¡¯t fully control Star King Mountain, nor did he fully control the ten armies, but every Zhen Xing cultivator knew that the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord was always selflessly protecting Zhen Xing. Right before he truly perished, Chi Tong cried out one finally sentence, "No one is to fight, immediately retreat and protect Universal Hall¡­" After roaring out that sentence, Chi Tong¡¯s life force was completely depleted. An Earthly Immortal, had died in the middle of the battlefield, with a heart full of grievances. Chapter 350: Brief Theory of Space Chapter 350: Brief Theory of Space Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji took out his spatial positioning ball and it seemed like he couldn¡¯t return to the Universal Hall until he was strong enough. The storage ring he retrieved had over 10 impressive slags of the spirit stones which could be very useful to him. Therefore, what he needed now was to find a place to undergo his closed doors cultivation for a period of time. He must at least be in the advanced True God Stage for him to return to the Universal Hall. He predicted that he should be able to deal with the elementary Worldly Immortal Stage experts when he reached the Intermediate True God Stage and Intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage experts when he reached the Advanced True God Stage. As for Advanced Worldly Immortal Stage experts, even if he couldn¡¯t defeat them, he wouldn¡¯t be restrained by them. If he could advance to the Great Circle of the True God Stage and even opened up 106 meridians, he wouldn¡¯t even fear Monk Wu Xiang if he were to appear in front of him. The cultivator with surname Wen who gave him this spatial positioning ball really wasn¡¯t bragging because this spatial positioning ball really showed quite a lot of spatial positions. Other than the Universal Hall, there were at least over a hundred big and small footholds on this ball. Among those footholds, Mo Wuji saw places like the Thorny Wind Gate, Extreme Frost City and the Star Wars Battlefield. Very quickly, Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on yet another extreme realm, Universal Lightning Provenance. The experienced Mo Wuji was very clear that because extremely few people entered these forbidden grounds as the spiritual energy was extremely dense inside. Whether it was the Thorny Wind Gate or the Extreme Frost City, the spiritual energy inside simply couldn¡¯t be compared to the spiritual energy outside. If it was not for his extended period of time cultivating in the Thorny Wind Gate and Extreme Frost City coupled with the large amount of spirit pith stone mushrooms, his cultivation level would probably not have increased so quickly to True God Stage Level 2. This Universal Lightning Provenance was one of the extreme realms which meant that the spiritual energy would definitely not be poor there. To increase his cultivation level in the shortest possible time, this place would be the most suitable. Firstly, he wasn¡¯t fearful of lightning, secondly he could still absorb essences of lightning and thirdly, he could cultivate in the Universal Lightning Provenance without worrying that people might find him. "Shuai Guo, follow this spatial positioning map and bring this flying ship to the Universal Lightning Provenance," Mo Wuji immediately threw the spatial positioning ball to Shuai Guo. Shuai Guo was simply too weak so the speed of the flying ship would definitely not be great. However, this wouldn¡¯t matter much because he could cultivate in the meantime. The moment Shuai Guo heard that it would be responsible to take the helm of the ship, its spirit was lifted as it patted its chest to assure Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji entered the inner cabin and placed the restrictions around his cabin before taking out the three storage rings. One of the storage ring was the only valuable loot he got from the Half Moon Prison as there were over 10 peak grade spirit stones slags that he urgently needed. Other than the 10 important spirit stone slags, there were three other technique jade letters. One of them had the Fallen Cloud Formula and Fallen Cloud Gold Arrow while Mo Wuji had not looked at the two others. The two other storage rings originally belonged to the white-eyed huge wolf and Yan Qiren. Mo Wuji¡¯s first action was to remove the restriction on Yan Qiren¡¯s storage ring. Yan Qiren was after all still a clan¡¯s Patriarch and was in the Worldly Immortal Stage so his storage ring should have had pretty decent items. Therefore, Mo Wuji was looking forward to opening Yan Qiren¡¯s storage ring the most. After opening the storage ring, he immediately realised that he had overestimated Yan Qiren. Other than a few decent spiritual equipment, there were only a pile of average grade pills. As for techniques, there was not even a single manual. Mo Wuji kept Yan Qiren¡¯s storage ring by the side disappointingly. What he didn''t know was that any member of the Yan Clan, even the Patriarch, was not allowed to bring out any top grade treasures with them unless they were going to use it urgently. This was the difference between a clan member and an ordinary cultivator. An ordinary sect cultivator would carry everything good with themselves while a clan member would always need to consider the danger outside. The white-eyed huge wolf was the Space Wolf King¡¯s descendant but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have much expectations for this storage ring. After all, he was only a Class 7 beast which was equivalent to only a True God Stage cultivator. When Mo Wuji broke open this white-eyed wolf¡¯s storage ring, he was stunned. As compared to this wolf¡¯s wealth and fortune, a Worldly Immortal Stage cultivator like Yan Qiren would only be considered a poor man. Other than Earth grade spirit stones that were piled up like mountains, Mo Wuji even saw two spiritual veins. And either one of this two spiritual vein would not be weaker than the 13 spirit locking array¡¯s spiritual veins in Tian Ji Sect and it could even contained slightly more spiritual energy than those. One must know that Tian Ji Sect¡¯s 9 spiritual veins were the very foundation of Tian Ji Sect itself so even Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to absorb spiritual energy crazily to cultivate. Back then because his cultivation level was low, he didn¡¯t affect much by cultivating in the spiritual pool for a period of time. Now that he had opened 105 meridians and was in the True God Stage, if he were to cultivate madly in the pool, Tian Ji Sect might need to change location very soon. These two spiritual veins was obtained from the white-eyed space wolf so no matter how much spiritual energy he absorbed out of it for cultivation, it wouldn¡¯t mean much. Other than these two spiritual veins, Mo Wuji saw at least 10 Tier 8 spiritual herbs and he even saw a Nine Radish Space Fruit. Mo Wuji saw this Nine Radish Space Fruit in one of the Universal Hall¡¯s assignment and its points were terrifyingly scary. This was a Tier 8 space spiritual object but it was an extremely rare one. This type of spiritual object could not only increase cultivation level, it could also increase the chances of an expert in the Great Circle of the True God Stage to advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage. Similarly, it could also the chances of a Class 7 demonic beast advancing into Class 8. This one fruit alone in the white-eyed wolf was already more valuable than 10 of Yan Qiren¡¯s storage rings. Mo Wuji took out this fruit very carefully as it placed into a jade box before keeping it in his own storage ring. The white-eyed wolf definitely didn¡¯t know how to refine equipments but other than a few top grade spiritual items, there were also a pile of top grade resources for smithing. Besides refining array flags, Mo Wuji had no idea how to refine equipments too. After a long period of collecting, he had a mountain worth of refinement resources too. These resources were swept to the corner of his storage ring and was placed in the same corner as the Celestial Sunflower Gold. Finally, the last thing Mo Wuji took out was a leather book and even though it looked a little torn, it didn¡¯t seem to be very old. The reason for its torn appearance should probably have been because it was flipped too many times. Mo Wuji flipped open the leather book and the moment he saw the four written words on the first page, his scalp turned numb and his heart started racing. Because the four words were ¡®Brief Theory of Space¡¯. This was actually a space narration book and at this exact moment, Mo Wuji had a slight understanding on why the white-eyed huge wolf was able to teleport so many times during their battle. This was definitely not some gifted supernatural power but because it received this brief theory of space. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any mentor and was never properly nurtured in any sects. However, he had also wandered around and experienced many incidents in Zhen Xing for a few years already so he naturally knew what type of skill was the strongest. That was the spatial skill or time skill and normally, the spatial and time skills in Zhen Xing were mostly fake or illusions. There were definitely no experts in Zhen Xing who could truly manipulate space or time. Furthermore, such a power would no longer be considered a skill but a true top grade sacred art. Even the transfer arrays only made use of some spatial characteristics as well as space resources to fix it up and it was already very impressive. Brief Theory of Space, one could tell the meaning from the words alone that this was a handbook to explain the mysteries of space. If he was able to find a spatial technique within this book, his strength would definitely increase by more than one fold. As he flipped opened the next page, Mo Wuji saw the first sentence, "If you could feel the existence of space, it is because of the lack in strength. If you are strong to a certain extent, space would not exist¡­" Such strong statements and Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that the owner of this book was making things up. When he was on Earth, did he believe he could cultivate to an extent that he had such impressive amount of elemental energy? Did he believe he could condense his spiritual will and walk in space? He definitely had to analyse this book but not now because the first thing he must do now was to become stronger. Mo Wuji scanned through the two unseen jade letters found in the storage ring from the Half Moon Prison and realised that they were all metal-type techniques. In terms of threat and usability, both of them were not as good as the Fallen Cloud Golden Arrow so Mo Wuji simply kept them and planned to give it to metal-type cultivators in the future. After tidying up the items in the three storage rings, Mo Wuji placed a spirit stone slag in his hand. That surge of purity and spirituality that exceeded Heaven grade spirit stones gushed over as Mo Wuji casually took out a pile of Earth grade spirit stones to start his circulating his spirit channels to cultivate. Before starting his cultivation, Mo Wuji could only feel the shocking amount of spiritual energy in this spirit stone slag and how it could be extremely useful for his cultivation progress. It was only after cultivating that Mo Wuji felt the true terrifying force of this spirit stone slag. Previously when he was using the spirit pith mushroom stones to cultivate, he could only feel the dense, undissolved spiritual energy circling around and truck loads of spiritual energy being absorbed by his meridian. But using this spirit stone slags to cultivate, he could feel a ball of fiery spiritual energy piercing through every meridian in his body like a sharp sword. Using normal spiritual energy to cultivate would be like smooth flowing water but using this unknown spirit stone slags to cultivate was like advancing through the rapids. After just half a day, Mo Wuji could feel the tremendous increase in his own strength. After using for half a month, Mo Wuji finally realised that the spiritual energy had been completely depleted by him. During this same period of time, he had already stepped into True God Stage Level 3. As Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level kept increasing, the rate at which he absorbed spiritual energy from the spirit stone slags increased too. After yet another month, Mo Wuji stepped into True God Stage Level 4 and he had already depleted four spirit stone slags. Three months later, Mo Wuji reached True God Stage Level 5 and he only had six more spirit stone slags left. As he saw the pile of Earth grade spirit stones turning into ashes, Mo Wuji sighed in pity. He had collected too little spirit stones slags from the Half Moon Prison and if he had hundred over of such spirit stone slags, he would definitely be able to break into the Worldly Immortal Stage without any obstructions. "Master, we have reached the periphery of the Universal Lightning Provenance," Shuai Guo sounded out from the deck of the flying ship. Mo Wuji tidied up his cabin and walked to the deck. In front of him was a planet and this planet was surrounded by lightnings flashes. Looking at it from far, this planet was extremely eye-catching in space. Mo Wuji guessed that this was the same type of star as the sun with the only difference being that the sun radiated heat while this planet radiated lightning bolts. Chapter 351: The Mess in Star King Mountain Chapter 351: The Mess in Star King Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Shuai Guo, I need to cultivate in this planet. There are very strong lightning bolts there so I doubt you can handle it. Wait for me somewhere and before I am about to leave, I will send you a messenger flying sword," After finishing his words, Mo Wuji took out a storage ring and handed it to Shuai Guo. He had a lot of storage rings with him and a mountain of Earth grade spirit stones. Hearing that it could roam freely, Shuai Guo was ecstatic as it hurried to take over the storage ring and even without asking how long Mo Wuji would take, it dashed into the depths of the space. Mo Wuji was never worried about Shuai Guo because this bird was very cheeky and it was capable of learning things very quickly. There were some things which Mo Wuji only taught once and this bird would be able to do the same several times afterwards. Moreover, it was very speedy so a normal cultivator would find it tough to harm him. ¡­ Mo Wuji kept his flying ship and spotted an area with thinner lightning bolts as he charged into this planet. Just as Mo Wuji predicted, this planet¡¯s spiritual energy was astonishingly dense. Similarly, its lightning bolts were as incredibly strong. Even though Mo Wuji chose the place with the thinnest lightning bolts, it was still not weaker than the lightning bolts he used for his heavenly tribulation. One could imagine that once Mo Wuji reached places with stronger lightning bolts, he definitely couldn¡¯t withstand it. There were lightning bolts everywhere so it was impossible to find a place to hide from the lightning bolts. Even if he were to dig underground, it would probably be filled with lightning bolts too. What Mo Wuji wanted was a place like this to cultivate, it wasn¡¯t long ago that he just reached True God Stage and he was already in the True God Stage Level 5. This cultivation speed was considered to be flying quick already because if it was any faster, it would very easily lead to fundamental instabilities. Even though Mo Wuji had not faced any sequela yet, he was afraid that it might affect him in the future. Therefore, to cultivate in these place filled with lightning bolts, he would be able to absorb lightning bolts and cultivate at the same time. This would be extremely beneficial to temper his body and state of mind. Furthermore, Mo Wuji also realised that his spiritual circulation technique had another unique characteristic. That would be the fact that when he cultivated under tough environments, as long as there was enough spiritual energy, his body strength would increase as well. Mo Wuji knew that there was a type of cultivators called the martial cultivators. Martial cultivators specialised in training their body and the higher their cultivation level, the stronger their body would be. Mo Wuji was not a martial cultivator but if he could increase his body strength under such vile environment while cultivating, why not? This extreme realm might be an extreme realm to others but to him, it was both an extreme realm and a realm of opportunities. Mo Wuji completely neglected the fact that his skin, flesh, bones and nerves were at risk under constant attacks from the lightning bolts because as he took each step at a time until today, what pain had he not suffered before? Lightning bolts like spider webs covered the entire sky before descending and as much as Mo Wuji could absorb the lightning energy, after just half a day, Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes were already burnt to pieces by these lightning bolts. This time, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t use the unknown spirit stone slags to cultivate. There were only six of them left and these spirit stone slags were most suitable to use to breakthrough bottlenecks. As the lightning essence and dense spiritual energy around was swept away by Mo Wuji, these spiritual energy swirled under the lightning bolts very quickly and in the next moment, Mo Wuji condensed everything once again. As he constantly swept and condensed these spiritual energy, Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was starting to increase bit by bit. Without using the Half Moon Prison¡¯s spirit stone slags, his rate of cultivating was no longer as quick like before. Concurrently, his skin and bones were constantly struck, torn and broken by the lightning webs but they were immediately healed afterwards. As time passed, Mo Wuji had lesser broken bones and quicker recovery time. After cultivating for a long time, Mo Wuji who was initially cultivating at a place with weaker lightning bolts started to shift towards regions with stronger lightning bolts as his adaptability was constantly on the rise. A blink of an eye and one year passed as Mo Wuji successfully reached True God Stage Level 6. Presently, Mo Wuji was completely immersed in this Universal Lightning Provenance as he had no intentions to leave. ¡­ Universal Hall. As compared to a year and a half ago, this place was a lot more depressed now. Most cultivators who hurried in and out of here were mostly businessmen and the Universal Cultivator Army. A year and a half ago, the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace in the space outside Zhen Xing ignited a messy war in space. In this one war, Star King Mountain lost its Star Lord, Chi Tong, and Zhen Mo Continent lost its control over the Star Wars Battlefield. The unsuitability of Universal Hall¡¯s spatial gate for the Gu Nuo Star¡¯s cavalry in addition to Chi Tong¡¯s decision before he died to get everyone to give up on retaliating and defend the spatial gate at all cost played a part in preventing the complete take over of the Universal Hall. In the end, because of territorial disputes, there was a clash between the space beasts and the Gu Nuo Star¡¯s cavalry army which stopped their combined attack on Zhen Xing. Otherwise, the Universal Hall would have been occupied by the space beasts or Gu Nuo Star''s cavalry army. However, because of this war, Zhen Mo Continent lost its nutrients to survival, the Star Wars Battlefield. One must know that even though Zhen Mo Continent was very big in size, it didn¡¯t have enough cultivation resources to provide for the larger number of cultivators. Most of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivation resources came from the Star Wars Battlefield. Now that the Star Wars Battlefield was split among the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and Space Beasts, the Zhen Mo cultivators were starting to suffer. Other than the few cultivators who had already entered the Star Wars Battlefield long ago, it was extremely difficult for Zhen Mo Continent cultivators to enter the Star Wars Battlefield now. The moment one stepped out from the Universal Pier, the chances of survival were extremely slim. It was very likely that if this were to persist, the Universal Hall wouldn¡¯t last any longer. Because of these reasons, all the businessmen here hurried in and out. No one was willing to stay long because they had no idea when the Universal Hall would become the territory of alien tribes. On the first level hall of the Universal Pier, a few cultivators just sold the spiritual herbs in their hands as they discussed while walking out. At this moment, a grey shadow dashed straight into the Universal Pier. With that speed,the few cultivators who were in discussion hurried to make way. "Bang!" Before the grey robed cultivator could dash to the second level, he was shot by a radiance and fell to the ground. Following which, another cultivator came in and immediately picked up this killed cultivator and left the first level of the Universal Pier. If not for the pool of blood on the floor, some people might think it was an illusion. "Ugh, a year ago, who dares to kill in the Universal Pier? Without mentioning kill, nobody even dared to attack. After the fall of the Star Lord, people actually dare to casually kill in this place," A cultivator sighed and said only after a long while. "Do you know who was the murderer? He is a member of the Star King Mountain¡¯s Xia Clan. I also recognised the person killed. His name is Fei Ding, from the Lost Continent," An onlooker sounded out. "I¡¯ve heard that the Xia Clan and Yan Clan are going around killing all the Lost Continent cultivators. Back then the Star Lord warned Master Wu Xiang that he must not anger the Lost Continent because of Mo Wuji. Who would have expected the angered ones were the Xia Clan and Yan Clan? "The Lost Continent sent over a hundred people and other than a few who had already fallen in the Star Wars Battlefield, the rest should be all killed right?" "It should be that case because I¡¯ve heard over 70-80 people were killed already. It was only because Xia Clan couldn¡¯t capture that Mo Wuji, which was why¡­" "Not necessary because I believe that was the reason they gave on the surface. The true reason should be because before Star Lord died, he appointed Mo Wuji to be be next Star Lord. Think about it, why would the throne of the next Star Lord of the Star King Mountain be handed to a completely unrelated person? The main reason why the Xia and Yan Clan were killing all Lost Continent cultivators was to warn Mo Wuji and anyone else who would help Mo Wuji in the future that they will be killed." "Silence, if you still want to live you better stop discussing about such things." These few cultivators in discussion immediately shut their mouth because this was true. The moment word spreads out that they were discussing about the three big clans, nothing good would come out of it. "I¡¯ve heard that the Space Wolf King is currently not in his Space Wolf King Mountain, the moment he returns, I¡¯m afraid the Universal Hall would no longer be able to fend against alien invasion. I don¡¯t know how what are your thoughts but this would be my last time coming to the Universal Hall." The few cultivators stopped talking about the Star King Mountain¡¯s three big clans but started discussing about when the Space Wolf King would invade the Universal Hall. ¡­ Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Hall. Even though Chi Tong had fallen, it was getting increasingly crowded everyday. Other than Hall Master Wu Xiang who was frantically looking for Mo Wuji outside and Star Trace Hall¡¯s Hall Master Wu Lingzhi had always been fighting to resist the invasion of the space beasts and Gu Nuo Star at the Universal Pier, the rest of the Hall Masters were here. Because of the inheritance of the Star Lord¡¯s position, the Star King Mountain was already at the edge of falling apart. "Hall Master Xia, since the previous Star Lord had already appointed Mo Wuji to be his heir, before we see Mo Wuji, I suggest we should not appoint anyone else first. We should focus our energy and strength on defending the Universal Hall because the moment the Gu Nuo¡¯s experts and space beasts break into the Universal Hall, nothing we say here will matter," A woman stood out and said directly. Xia Dandao¡¯s expression turned ugly because this woman was Star King Mountain¡¯s 4th hall Star Sea Hall¡¯s Hall Master Su Xuan. Her Star Sea Army was much stronger than his Star Wars Army so for him to become the Star Lord, he had to draw her over to his side. Yan Pingzhi stood up, "Hall Master Su¡¯s statement is poor because Star Lord Chi Tong was attacked by Gu Nuo Star¡¯s Earthly Immortal and he was in the state of despair so he wasn¡¯t even clear of what he said. If we follow Star Lord Chi¡¯s will and let a puny True God Stage cultivator become the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain, we would simply be seen as a laughing stock for the universe." The one armed Xu Chihuang suddenly stood up and pointed to Yan Pingzhi seriously, "Yan Pingzhi, don¡¯t think nobody knows what your motive was. Star Lord Chi¡¯s was benign and openhearted as he always look at things for Zhen Xing. He must have his reasons for choosing Mo Wuji as his heir. You are merely a Hall Master, who do you think you are to question Star Lord¡¯s words?" Yan Pingzhi laughed coldly, "I am indeed just a hall master but I am not someone a small defender like you can mess with. Try pointing at me again and trust me when I say I can kill a small defender like you here." Su Ting didn¡¯t hesitate to interrupt Yan Pingzhi¡¯s words, "I really don¡¯t believe you, Yan Pingzhi, has this capability. Defender Xu risked his life to bring Star Lord¡¯s body back and even lost an arm in the process. At that point of time, where were you, Yan Pingzhi? You only appear when it was time to inherit the throne, ah, anyone could become the next Star Lord but not you, Yan Pingzhi. Since everyone couldn¡¯t come to terms, we shall wait out and temporary not select the next Star Lord first." Yan Pingzhi was livid yet he didn¡¯t dare to treat Su Xuan like he treated Xu Chihuang. Xia Dandao grunted, "Now that the Universal Pier is in such a mess, if we don¡¯t hurry appoint a new Star Lord, it will be detrimental to the safety of my Zhen Mo Continent." Chapter 352: The Fall of Universal Pier Chapter 352: The Fall of Universal Pier Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xu Chihuang laughed out loud yet he said with a serious face, "What¡¯s the point of having a Star Lord? If the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain cannot take responsibility for Zhen Xing¡¯s safety and was only concerned about his own personal benefits or sh*tty private motive, I, Xu Chihuang, will never recognise him as the Star Lord. Star Lord Chi could become the Star Lord not because he was much stronger than any of you here but because he had always fought hard and worry about Zhen Xing¡¯s welfare. He gave his life to Zhen Xing and even his last order was given to protect the safety of Zhen Xing. I believed everyone was aware about where and what each and everyone of you were doing when the Star Lord was fighting his life away to protect Zhen Xing a year ago. Now that we had to choose a successor, each and everyone of you appeared and even choose to forget about the Star Lord¡¯s will. I, Xu Chihuang, rather fight to death in the Star Wars Battlefield than to shame myself to fight for any of you¡­" Finishing, Xu Chihuang walked straight out of the entrance of the Universal Hall. "Alright, I, Su Xuan, will go to the Star Wars Battlefield too. I am already too shameless to have spent so long talking about protecting Zhen Xing here¡­" "Defender Xu was right. I, Yan Ze, am also getting sick of staying here. Zhen Xing is in a precarious position and it wouldn¡¯t get safer just by talking," A long hair man stood up after Su Xuan. Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi¡¯s expression remained ugly because Su Xuan was the hall master of the Star Sea Hall and she controlled the Star Sea Army. On the other hand, Yan Ze was the hallmaster of the 7th hall, Star Dock Hall and he controlled the Star Dock Army. The combined forces of these two people together with Xu Chihuang would make it unfavourable towards Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi. "Defender Xu, this Purple Jade Toad Lotus Flower is for you. I, Yan Ze, respect a man like you. Even though this Purple Jade Toad Lotus Flower would not recover your arm to how it was originally, as long as you temper it for a few years, it would definitely not be any weaker than your other arm," After saying that, Yan Ze passed a jade box to Xu Chihuang. The reason why Xu Chihuang¡¯s broken arm had not recovered was simply because he wasn¡¯t able to find a peak grade spiritual herb to aid the recovery. Even though the Purple Jade Toad Lotus was not considered to be a peak grade treasure for recovery, it was a lot stronger than average spiritual herbs. Given Xu Chihuang¡¯s strength, as long as he was focused his recovery for the next few years, it wouldn¡¯t be too much of a problem for his arm to return to its original state. "Many thanks Hall Master Yan¡­" Xu Chihuang took over the jade box and bowed in appreciation. Even though losing an arm didn¡¯t make him lose his strength, it would definitely be a future obstacle for him. In over a year, his cultivation level didn¡¯t seem like it improved much either. Yan Ze didn¡¯t have time to reply Xu Chuhuang before a red flying sword flew into Xu Chihuang¡¯s hand. Xu Chihuang grabbed the flying sword and used his spiritual will to read the message and his expression changed before saying in a trembling tone, "The Universal Pier was successfully invaded and the Universal Hall fell. There were heavy losses for our Zhen Mo Continent and now Hall Master Wu is retreating with the wounded cultivators to the Piercing Wind City." Hearing that the Universal Hall fell, it wasn¡¯t only Xu Chihuang but even the Xia Clan and Mou Clan¡¯s expression changed drastically. They wanted to control the Star King Mountain, not get controlled by foreign tribes. They were only here arguing and pressuring the few Chi Tong¡¯s loyalties to appoint a new Star Lord because they were confident the Universal Hall won¡¯t fall. Now that the Universal Hall had actually fallen, it turned out to be the exact opposite of what they expected. "Hurry to the Piercing Wind City¡­" Su Xuan exclaimed and was the first to rush out of the Star Lord Hall. The rest were not in the mood to continue arguing with each other as they all hurried towards the transfer array to the Piercing Wind City. ¡­ After an hour, in the main residence of the Piercing Wind City, most of the people including the exhausted Hall Master Wu of the Star Trace Hall were gathered here. Wu Lingzhi was not only the hall master of the Star Trace Hall, he was also Chi Tong¡¯s most loyal enforcer. After the fall of Chi Tong, while all the respective hall masters were fighting for power and unwilling to protect the Universal Hall, Wu Lingzhi didn¡¯t hesitate as he brought the various departments of the Cultivator Army to guard the periphery of the Universal Hall. "Hall Master Wu, the Universal Pier was the portal of our Zhen Xing and while you¡¯re responsible to guard the portal, you actually failed and let to the fall of the Universal Hall," A robust looking man with purplish red hair stood up and shouted at this middle-aged man with messy hair and some faint blood stains on his body. This middle-aged man was indeed the Star Trace Hall¡¯s Hall Master, Wu Lingzhi. And the person with purplish red hair who shouted at him was called Chu Fengyi the hall master of the fifth hall, Star Flame Hall. Wu Lingzhi¡¯s expression didn¡¯t look good but he didn¡¯t refute as he wasn¡¯t a talkative person in nature hence, didn¡¯t like to argue with people too. "You fart," Just because Wu Lingzhi didn¡¯t refute didn¡¯t mean that others would not speak up for him and the person who stood up for him was the Hall Master Yan Ze of the 7th hall, Star Dock Hall. After scolding Chu Fengyi, Yan Ze pointed at Chu Fengyi and continued his reprimand, "You scum, back then when the alien space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe attacked our Zhen Xing¡¯s Cultivator Army, Hall Master Wu was the first person to charge out upon signal. Afterwards, to snatch for the throne of the Star Lord as well as prevent the loss of their own power, a few mice hid at the Star King Mountain while Hall Master Wu was also the first to defend the Universal Pier. You, Chu Fengyi, are merely a small mouse so who are you to say that of Hall Master Wu? Pui, if you¡¯re not willing to submit, challenge me, Yan Ze, and I will welcome any tricks of yours." Chu Fengyi grunted as he really wanted to challenge Yan Ze immediately but he didn¡¯t have the guts to do so. Wu Lingzhi might not like to refute or get involved in internal conflicts, but Yan Ze was not someone to be trifled with. Chu Fengyi just stepped into the Intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 while Yan Ze was already at the peak of the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5 and was about to step into level 6. Even if the Star Flame Hall was ranked higher than the Star Dock Hall, he really didn¡¯t dare to mess with Yan Ze. "Alright, now that the foreign force has invaded, the main focus here should be to find ways to protect Zhen Xing. Also, Hall Master Yan, Hall Master Chu and yourself are both the hall masters of the 10 halls so you need not talk in this manner in case you hurt our friendly relationship among each other," Xia Dandao stood out and interrupted. Yan Ze didn¡¯t bother about Xia Dandao as he continued to speak impolitely, "Your old man here has this attitude and you, Xia Dandao, are still not the Star Lord so stop pointing fingers and telling me what to do." Xia Dandao¡¯s surrounding turned cold and his killing intent grew stronger. As a fight looked like it was about to erupt, Hall Master Su Xuan of the Star Sea Hall initiated and said, "Hall Master Wu, why don¡¯t you let us know how did we suddenly lose control of the Universal Pier?" The truth was that Su Xuan was a little curious because the Universal Pier could be considered as something that could hold back almost 10,000 enemies by itself. Unless we choose to attack, it should be extremely difficult to break in when we were focused on guarding it. Knowing that Su Xuan was trying to ease the atmosphere, Xia Dandao sneered and didn¡¯t continue acting up. He knew that if he continued to act up, he might not gain much out of it. Even though Yan Clan appeared supportive on the surface with Xia Clan against Chi Tong¡¯s will, if Xia Clan were to suffer a hit now, the Yan Clan would definitely step forward to land a few more blows on him too. Wu Lingzhi nodded his head and said in a low voice, "The sudden appearance of the Space Wolf King made me lose my grip. Not only this, Zhuo Mai died protecting me too." Everyone fell silent because Zhuo Mai being in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3 and Wu Lingzhi¡¯s most capable helper had actually fallen in the Universal Pier. Furthermore, with the appearance of the Space Wolf King, even if all of them were there, they might not be able to handle this fella. Without mentioning the Space Wolf King, it might be tough to hold the Piercing Wind City for any longer. "Wrong, now that the Space Wolf King had appeared, why hasn''t it make its way to the Piercing Wind City?" Su Xuan was the first to notice the problem. Wu Lingzhi sighed and said, "Space Wolf King came here to kill Mo Wuji and it should have found out that Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t return to Zhen Xing so after helping the space beasts and the Gu Nuo Star Cavalry Army to break into the Universal Pier, it immediately left the Universal Pier as it didn¡¯t even enter the Universal Hall." Without Wu Lingzhi¡¯s further explanation, everyone here knew where the Space Wolf King went. It must have went out to space to find Mo Wuji and one could imagine that after killing Mo Wuji, it would definitely return to Zhen Xing. Whether it was Xia Dandao or Yan Pingzhi, both of them were hopeful that the Space Wolf King won¡¯t find Mo Wuji so quickly. Indeed, Wu Lingzhi continued, "The Space Wolf King should be headed to find Mo Wuji so after I brought the rest of the wounded army to the Piercing Wind City, I destroyed the transfer array to the Piercing Wind City from the Universal Hall right away." Hearing this, the crowd finally let out a sigh of relief. Now that the transfer array was destroyed, even if the Space Wolf King were to return, it would need to first build the transfer array before being able to attack the Piercing Wind City. It wouldn¡¯t be a simple task to build a transfer array in space. Su Xuan stood out once again, "My Zhen Xing had reached its most dangerous period of time. If the Piercing Wind City were to be invaded and our Zhen Xing gets caught in another endless war with the foreign force, it would mean the end of us. I suggest to let the Star Trace Hall¡¯s Hall Master Wu to be the temporary Star Lord to rebuild the Cultivator Army and chase the foreign cultivators out of the Universal Hall." "My Star Wars Hall agrees¡­" Xia Dandao was the last person everyone expected to step up to agree. "My Star Cloud Hall agrees," The second person to step out was Yan Pingzhi. Following everyone else¡¯s agreements, even Xu Chihuang, who was always against the three big clans, stood out to agree with the suggestion. However, everyone was sure that Wu Lingzhi would never accept the Star Lord position, not even when he was desperate. Wu Lingzhi didn¡¯t like to fight with others, definitely won¡¯t like to fight for the throne as he always felt that he wasn¡¯t suitable to be the Star Lord. Even his position as the Star Trace Hall was forcefully designated by Star Lord Chi Tong. And because of this, almost half of the Northern Star Army and Star Trace Army under his hall was controlled by the Mou Clan. The reason why Xia Clan and Yan Clan agreed to Su Xuan¡¯s suggestion was also because they could tell that Wu Lingzhi wouldn¡¯t accept the position as Star Lord. As long as Wu Lingzhi rejected the suggestion modestly, in the future when they suggested to choose another Star Lord, the rest would not have a reason to say no anymore. What came as a surprise was that after everyone expressed their opinions, Wu Lingzhi suddenly stood up and said, "Zhen Xing is indeed in a state of chaos and since everyone thinks highly of me, Wu Lingzhi, I shall accept the position as the temporary Star Lord. When another capable person pops by, I, Wu Lingzhi, would be willing to step down from the Star Lord position any time." There was simply no humility as he made Xia Dandao, Yan Pingzhi and co. looked at each other helplessly. Chapter 353: Space Transformation Chapter 353: Space Transformation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Su Xuan exhaled deeply; she could be considered to be the one who understood Wu Lingzhi the most. Even though Wu Lingzhi did not right for power, and was not willing to vie with others, he was an extremely knowledgeable person. He did not scheme and plot, but that didn¡¯t mean that he didn¡¯t how to. He simply looked down on such things. Zhen Xing''s current situation, she believed that Wu Lingzhi understood it better than anyone else. As long as Wu Lingzhi understands, even if he wasn¡¯t willing to be the Star Lord, since he was elected by everyone, he could not reject it. Because he was very clear, rejecting this election would put Zhen Xing in a worse position. Sine Wu Lingzhi had already accepted it, it was already too late for Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi to regret. They could only temporarily let Wu Lingzhi hold the post at Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. "Various Hall Master, everyone knows the current predicament that Zhen Xing is facing. No matter what, Piercing Wind City must not be lost. Everyone, please express your opinions. If there¡¯s any good suggestions or opinions, please share it for everyone to discuss." Wu Lingzhi knew that it was not possible for him to defend against the alien cultivators by himself. Thus, after he became the Star Lord, he wanted to consolidate all the power and seek everyone¡¯s opinions. ... At the same time, at the plaza outside of Universal Hall. A Class 7 Space Lion was staring at the towering Universal Board and its hugely erected name, it said disdainfully, "So this is the Zhen Xing''s impressive Universal Board? The board built upon the corpses of countless of my space beast comrades?" A Gu Nuo Star Tribe True God cultivator was also looking up at the Universal Board. Hearing the lion beast''s words, he subconsciously said, "That''s right. This is it. It''s said that this is Zhen Xing''s number one board." "Then let it turn to dust!" This lion roared and directly smashed an octagonal steel hammer against the Universal Board. "Boom!" An intense explosion resounded, and a mist of blood spread throughout the square. An oppressive force pressed down in the area; all the Gu Nuo cultivators and spaces beasts hurried to get out of the way. Only then, did the crowd finally see what had happened to the Space Lion. The lion wanted to crush the Universal Board into dust, but with a strike of his hammer, he was the one turned into dust. Not even his bones were left behind. The only thing left behind, was the fog of blood which had yet to fully disperse. As for the Universal Board, not even a scratch was formed on it. A Class 7 Space beast was actually killed by the recoil of his own attack. All the surrounding beasts and Gu Nuo cultivators were incomparably shocked, as they each subconsciously took a few steps back. They didn''t even dare go near the secondary board next to Universal Board. ... "Kacha!" The last spirit stone slag Mo Wuji obtained from Half Moon Prison disappeared; his cultivation had already broke through to True God Stage Level 8. It was his fourth year cultivating here on this lightning star. In these four years, he advanced from True God Stage Level 5 to Level 8. It could not be considered slow, it was already a very fast pace. However, Mo Wuji was very disappointed. One must know that he was cultivating atop a spiritual vein, he used six pieces of the Half Moon Immortal Palace''s spirit stone slag, and he was even on a lightning star rich in spiritual energy. This sort of speed, to him, was not considered fast, but rather slow. Even though his cultivation was merely raised to True God Stage Level 8, Mo Wuji felt that both his abilities and sea of consciousness had grown by multiple fold. Still, Mo Wuji did not think that this power was enough to kill Monk Wu Xiang, much less that Space Sold King of legends. He needed to stay here and cultivate. Even if he couldn''t raise his cultivation, he could still learn a new skill. Now, Mo Wuji could choose from Fallen Cloud Gold Arrow or Brief Theory of Space. In reality, the way Mo Wuji saw it, the Brief Theory of Space could not be considered a skill. If he understood the ideas in Brief Theory of Space, he could gain enlightenment on a sacred art. Fallen Cloud Gold Arrow was designed specially for cultivators with metal-type spiritual roots. Thus, Mo Wuji decided to delve into Brief Theory of Space. "When your eyes perceive space, that is merely one surface of space. True space is multi-dimensional, that is, the combination of countless surfaces of space¡­" When Mo Wuji started to read this Brief Theory of Space, he started to feel that this wasn''t written by a cultivator. Instead, it felt like it was written by some mad scientist. However, the throeries within slowly got from deeper, and in a short time, Mo Wuji was completely absorbed in it. "A few cultivations often call the link between two spaces as a border. Space of a higher degree, when linked, are terrmed as surface. In reality, I believe that no matter the degree of space, space is formed from countless dimensions¡­" Dimensions of space? Mo Wuji was left dumbfounded by this book of Brief Theory of Space. Could this really have been written by a science researcher? "Stepping across dimensions is extremely difficult, just like it is difficult for a cultivator to cross the borders of different realms. Changing dimensions in space, however, is not that complicated¡­ The Heavens and Earths are great, with the rules of Dao in place. The same dimension can be used to comprehend the rules of space, and then use the rules of this space¡­" Was the fella that came up with this theoryreally a cultivator? Besides the explanation on dimensions, there were still the rules of space, leaving Mo Wuji increasingly confused. Soon, Mo Wuji stopped caring about who wrote this theory. From the words in this theory, he actually felt the traces and rhythms of space. Lightning bolts continuously struck against Mo Wuji''s body; Mo Wuji''s 105 meridians were automatically undergoing reverse circulation. Even though this cultivation speed was slowly than when he dedicated all his efforts into it, it allowed Mo Wuji to slowly research the Brief Theory of Space. Multiple months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Mo Wuji suddenly kept the theory. His figure slightly turned, and at the very next instant, he appeared 1 meter away from where he was previously. This was spatial teleportation. Even though it was only a distance of 1 meter, a distance that he could cross by taking a single step, Mo Wuji was incomparably excited. He felt a profound truth from spatial teleportation. However, he was still far from controlling the rules of space. It could even be said that he had yet to even understand a strand of hair about space. However, he was truly close to touching that hair. As long as he continued to practise, even if he could not truly transfer space, he could still increase the distance which he could teleport. Don''t underestimate this teleportation. At times, this distance was sufficient for him to gain an upper hand during a battle; he could also use this method to flee if necessary. This sort of spatial teleportation, was far more attractive to Mo Wuji than flying in mid air. In the following time, Mo Wuji was constantly testing and adjusting his understandings of space and spatial transfer. One month later, Mo Wuji could already teleport a distance of 3 meters. Two months later, his teleportation no longer needed in-situ movement. Three months later, Mo Wuji could teleport 10 meters at one go. Yet another two months passed. Mo Wuji found that teleporting 10 meters was his maximum. At the same time, he had unintentionally broke through to True God Stage Level 9. By this time, it was extremely clear in Mo Wuji''s heart, that the fella that wrote the Brief Theory of Space was not a simple person. He was likely a supreme cultivator who also had a vast amount of scientific knowledge. This fella was definitely much more powerful than him. Pile after pile of Earth grade spirit stones and another spiritual vein were fetched out from Mo Wuji''s storage ring. Mo Wuji even took out the Nine Radish Space Fruit which he wanted to use to charge into the Worldly Immortal Stage. As for the Heaven grade spirit stones, they were already held tightly in Mo Wuji''s hands. A cultivation of True God Stage Level 9 was not enough. He was prepared to charge into True God Stage Level 10 before leaving this lightning star, and make a trip back to Zhen Xing. The Nine Radish Space Fruit was used by True Gods to ascend to Worldly Immortals. To use it to charge into True God Stage Level 10, Mo Wuji was definitely the only person in the world who would do so. In Mo Wuji''s eyes, even the best of things, if not used timely, would be useless. Converting good things into cultivation, that was most appropriate thing to do. Under the guidance of two Heaven grade spirit stones, the Earth grade spirit stones below Mo Wuji and the boundless lightning web which continuously descended on Mo Wuji, were transformed into various forms of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy formed into huge whirlpools, which were drawn into Mo Wuji in waves. Two spiritual vein and a few spirit pith stone mushrooms were also constantly being fetched out by Mo Wuji, their elemental energy was continuously being sucked in Mo Wuji''s reverse circulation, turning into his power. This cultivation speed was not comparable to when he used the spirit stone slag that he obtained from Half Moon Prison, but to the current Mo Wuji, it was the best he could go. Anything that he could use, had already been taken out, all so he could charge into True God Stage 10 in the shortest time possible. Another half a year passed, a ground full of Earth grade spirit stones had been turned into dust, the two spiritual vein had shrunk till they weren''t even 3 meters long. The spiritual energy within Mo Wuji surged, just like the Yangtze River. Mo Wuji did not hesitate, directly placing that Nine Radish Space Fruit into his mouth. The Nine Radish Space Fruit was most effective after it had been concocted into the Nine Radish Worldly Immortal Pill. However, after Mo Wuji left Lost Continent, he had always been running for his life and trying to raise his abilities to protect himself. As for his pill refining, he had set it aside for a long period of time. There''s no need to say that he didn''t have the other spiritual herbs to concoct the Nine Radish Worldly Immortal Pill, because even if he did, he would not be able to concoct this sort of Tier 8 Heavenly Pill. "Boom!" Nine Radish Space Fruit''s medicinal properties were like a spiritual energy bomb, exploding in Mo Wuji''s meridians. Mo Wuji''s cultivation was already near the peak of True God Stage Level 9, and at this instant, it suddenly erupted. The shackles of True God Stage Level 10 were instantly exploded. A new world appeared in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. He even had a glimpse of the the vast, yet obscure, Heavenly Dao. True God Stage Level 10 was a whole different concept from True God Stage Level 9; this was the start of the Extreme Heaven Stage. The already hrunken spiritual vein was now visibly shrinking, that spiritual energy completely satiated the need of Mo Wuji''s newly acquired True God Stage Level 10. "Kacha!" Another strange sound could be heard. Mo Wuji was thoroughly startled. His 106th meridian had actually opened. According to his experience, he needed to reach True God Stage Level 12 to open his 106th meridian. But now, he had merely advanced into True God Stage Level 10. What was going on? Chapter 354: Returning to Universal Pier Chapter 354: Returning to Universal Pier Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Large streaks of lightning joined to form a web. Just as Mo Wuji broke into True God Stage Level 10, the boundless lightning web descended down upon him. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered about this lightning web. He had already cultivated here for years, and he had seen too many of these lightning webs. At the start, these lightning webs could still injure him. But as his cultivation raised, and as his experience with the lightning web increased, this sort of lightning web could only cause some tingling sensation on his skin. Thereafter, all the lightning energy would be completely absorbed by him At the instant this lightning web landed on Mo Wuji''s body, Mo Wuji suddenly had a new revelation. This revelation appeared at the same instant his 106th meridian opened, without any signs. Mo Wuji formed a few enigmatic hand seals; a faint lightning web shot out from his hands. This lightning web was exactly the same as the one that descended on him, the only difference was that it was much weaker. Mo Wuji continuously formed hand seals, lightning webs continued to form within his hands. From the most initial lighting web which was faint and weak, the successive ones continued to become thicker and stronger, and finally the lightning web actually became close in power to the one formed within Universal Lightning Provenance. Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with excitement. Just when he was about to leave Universal Lightning Provenance, he made use of the True God Stage''s newly opened 106th meridian to gain enlightenment on a new skill - Lightning Web. At time same time, Mo Wuji understood the function of his 106th meridian. It was a dao revelation meridian. After reverse-circulating spiritual energy through his meridian, Mo Wuji thoroughly understood how his dao revelation meridian worked. Even he was shocked at this heaven defying meridian. This was a meridian which could use the natural phenomena to help enlighten a person to the dao. It was as though everything in nature had its own principles, and the dao revelation meridian could make use of these principles to comprehend a dao which belonged to one¡¯s self. No wonder why he could gain enlightenment on Lightning Web in that instant. So it was because of the dao revelation meridian. Even after a long time, Mo Wuji still couldn''t calm his emotions. At this instant, he finally understood the impressiveness of those various pathfinders. In some sense, he was also a pathfinder. He opened the path to mortal cultivation. Perhaps it was because he was a pathfinder, that he possessed this dao revelation meridian. With this dao revelation meridian, he would truly be in charge of his own cultivation path. Looking at the dense lighting around him, Mo Wuji knew that it was time for him to leave. Even though he was still far away from his targeted Great Circle of the True God Stage or Worldly Immortal Elementary Stage, Mo Wuji was clear, this was the most he could achieve here. He had already used up all his resources. If he continued to cultivate here, he would only be wasting his time. If he stayed here, even if he had 8 years or even 10 years, he still might not be able to advance into True God Stage Level 11. As for the Worldly Immortal Stage, it was even further from reach. However, Mo Wuji believed that even if he met a cultivator at Worldly Immortal Advanced Stage, he had nothing to be afraid of. Not only was he an Extreme Mortal, he had also achieved the Extreme Earth Stage. In terms of elemental energy and his sea of consciousness, even a Worldly Immortal Elementary Stage cultivator might not be able to match him. What was the symbol of a Worldly Immortal? Wasn¡¯t it just that their primordial spirit had become more solid, while their elemental energy could become a physical entity? To him, this was completely useless. When he was at the Nihility God Stage, his elemental energy could already form into a physical entity, and now, he could easily condense elemental energy imprints. As for the primordail spirit, he didn''t even have one. However, he had a sea of consciousness and the violet elemental lake; he had an incredibly large sea of consciousness, and incredibly thick violet elemental energy. ¡­ "Shua!" The moment Mo Wuji left Universal Lightning Provenance, he shot out a flying messenger sword. Thereafter, he cleaned himself up and changed into a clean set of clothes. He tied his long hair up into a bun, then he fetched out his round flying ship. After doing all this, Mo Wuji still didn''t receive Shuai Guo''s reply. He sent out another two flying messenger swords. Another two whole days passed, but he still didn''t receive any news from Shuai Guo. Mo Wuji controlled his flying ship to search around Universal Lightning Provenance for another three days. Still, he didn''t receive any news from Shuai Guo. To suddenly lose contact with Shuai Guo left Mo Wuji a little lost. He didn''t know whether Shuai Guo had met with any form of danger. Ever since the Extreme Frost Sea, Shuai Guo had been with him. But now that Shuai Guo had suddenly disappeared, he was a little uneasy. However, he only had a cultivation of True God Stage. Shuai Guo had disappeared, but he had no means of finding it. The universe was so vast, without a beginning and an end, how was he going to find Shuai Guo? After spending another few days searching consecutively, he still wasn''t able to find Shuai Guo. Only then, did Mo Wuji leave Universal Lightning Provenance by himself. Shuai Guo was quite intelligent, so even if it met with danger, Mo Wuji believed that it could protect its little self. ¡­ Zhen Mo Continent, Yan Clan. Even though the Patriarch Yan Qiren had already been killed by Mo Wuji, the Yan Clan wasn''t adversely affected. Currently, the role of the patriarch was filled by the Star Cloud Hall Master Yan Pingzhi. In the Yan Clan''s Great Clan Hall, almost all of the elders and above had gathered. Yan Pingzhi looked at the crowd, and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "There''s no need for me to talk any further about Zhen Xing''s predicament. The transfer array outside of Piercing Wind City is already forming gradually. It could be expected that it would take another two to three months, at the most, for the the Gu Nuo Star Tribe experts to construct a transfer array gate from Universal Hall to Piercing Wind City. Now, Piercing Wind City could be said to be hanging on a thread; at any moment, it could be occuped by Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts. The moment Piercing Wind City falls, Zhen Xing will be left unguarded. Ever since I took on the role as the Yan Clan Patriarch, I have always been working hard so that the Yan Clan could still have a place to strive in. However, some things cannot simply be solved through hard work. Star King Mountain¡¯s Wu Lingzhi doesn''t even care about the survival or demise of our family clans. All these years, he only built a few defensive arrays at Piercing Wind City. However, these things have no contribution to Star King Mountain, or to Zhen Xing. Facing the oncoming demise of Zhen Xing, what''s left for my Yan Clan to do?" After Yan Pingzhi finished, his gaze calmly swept across the many elders and Worldly Immortal experts. No one spoke. Even the Grand Elder, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7 Yan Ying, didn''t know how to get the Yan Clan out of this predicament. Seeing that no one spoke after a long time, Yan Pingzhi continued, "My Yan Clan Patriarch Yan Qiren, Worldly Immortal Yan Tongqu, and our Yan Clan genius Yan Yangdong had all fallen under Mo Wuji''s hands. Even though my Yan Clan had killed 20 over of those cultivators that came over from the Lost Continent, this isn''t enough to cover even 1 out of 10,000 of our vengeance." "Mo Wuji is definitely an enemy of our Yan Clan, but our Yan Clan''s most important issue now isn''t to find Mo Wuji for revenge, but to find a road to survival. Perhaps the Patriarch knows, what are the Xia Clan and Mou Clan doing? Logically, since the Zhen Xing is collapsing, the Xia Clan and Mou Clan definitely wouldn¡¯t sit and wait for their deaths." A Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2 elder stood up and said. Yan Pingzhi nodded, "This is what I was going to talk about. From what I know, Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s Worldly Immortal expert, Hoover, has already used some method to reach our Zhen Xing. He even paid a visit to Xia Dandao. If I¡¯m not wrong, the Xia Clan must have some secret agreement with Gu Nuo Star Tribe." "The Xia Clan dares to do that?" That Worldly Immortal elder furrowed his brows and said. Unless all the cultivators on Zhen Xing got massacred, otherwise, the Xia Clan would never be able to stand tall from colluding with alien cultivators. "Whether the Xia Clan dares to do it doesn''t matter. They have already done it, and the Xia Clan''s excuse was that they wanted to kill Mo Wuji to take revenge for Xia Mu. If I''m not wrong, this invasion by the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts, was done based on the excuse that Mo Wuji had killed the White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince. Thus, the Xia Clan''s excuse is that Mo Wuji had brought disaster to Zhen Xing, and they will cooperate with these foreign invaders [1] to force Mo Wuji out." Everyone understood Yan Pingzhi¡¯s words. The Xia Clan had came up with this excuse of forcing Mo Wuji out to protect Zhen Xing. After all, the space beasts and the alien cultivators were much stronger. And at the same time, they indicated that Zhen Xing did not have the intention of protecting Mo Wuji. As to whether this excuse would actually get these foreigners to leave eventually, it was uncertain. But at least the Xia Clan had some words to say. That¡¯s why the Xia Clan was allowing these foreigners to enter, all so they could protect Zhen Xing. Whatever happens thereafter, could not be said to be within Xia Clan¡¯s predictions. No matter how absurd this excuse was, it was still an excuse. If the alien cultivators and space beasts eventually get chased out, at least they could say that they had played a part. "Then that Mo Wuji had killed our Yan Clan¡¯s patriarch. Our Yan Clan and him are irreconcillable..." Another Worldly Immortal elder stood up and said. At this moment, everyone seated in the hall understood why Yan Pingzhi would mention Mo Wuji. So the Yan Clan wanted to go on the same road as the Xia Clan. At this moment, a True God Stage cultivator hurriedly stood forward and reported, "A man called Hoover has come to pay a visit." "Immediately invite him in." The patriarch didn¡¯t even need to talk, the Grand Elder took the initiative to answer. The Yan Clan members were very clear; Yan Clan¡¯s way out had appeared. ¡­ Mo Wuji controlled his flying ship and advanced without diverting his attention on cultivation. In merely a month¡¯s time, he had reached the periphery of Universal Pier. Previously, the battlefield when the Half Moon Immortal Palace appeared was no longer what it was. Mo Wuji swept his spiritual will over; what he saw wasn¡¯t the original Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s armies, but horde after horde of space beasts. Besides these space beasts, there were also crowds of Gu Nuo¡¯s beast riding cavalry. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding. The only thing that came to his mind was: The Universal Pier had been breached, and the Universal Hall had been occupied by these foreign species. If the Universal Hall had been occupied by these foreign species, would Zhen Xing still be fine? It¡¯s unknown whether the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord still had some measures up his sleeves. Mo Wuji could only hope that during this invasion, the Star Lord would no longer cower in fear. Actually, Mo Wuji did not approve of Chi Tong being intimidated by Bao Lie. It looked like he wanted to ensure the safety of Zhen Xing, but in reality, it was only making Zhen Xing appear weak in front of those foreign species. What¡¯s so good about the Space Wolf King? It¡¯s merely in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. Chi Tong himself was an Earthly Immortal. If he borrowed the power of Universal Pier, even a Great Circle of Earthly Immortal Stage cultivator would not be able to enter. More importantly, the Space Wolf King wasn¡¯t even there during that time. With Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, he could see that there were at least hundreds of thousands of space beasts and Gu Nuo cavalry soldiers in front of Universal Hall. These foreign species had blocked the entrance of Universal Hall, which was equivalent to completely blocking the possibility of cultivators entering and leaving Zhen Xing. Seeing these foreign species block his way back to Zhen Xing, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with killing intent. Just as Mo Wuji was thinking of a way to get rid of all these foreign species in one fell swoop, besides the laser cannon, a human figure rapidly approached him. Soon, that figure was right in front of him. [1] We¡¯ll use foreign to describe the mix of space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe members. Chapter 355: Extreme Ice Cannon Chapter 355: Extreme Ice Cannon Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Mo Wuji?" When the person saw Mo Wuji, disbelief and shock emerged from his face, and he immediately stopped. Mo Wuji noticed that this person racing over was a male cultivator; his entire face revealed traces that he had gone through many vicissitudes in space, and he had a saber behind his back. He was at least in the advanced stage of True God Stage, and since he could recognise Mo Wuji, he should be a cultivator from Zhen Xing. What shocked Mo Wuji was, this cultivator tied a red ribbon around his wrist. Supposedly, this was something unique to Solitary Red Knot, so why did this male cultivator do it too? Before Mo Wuji could ask anything, another figure rapidly approached them. This was a cultivator riding on a space beast. Mo Wuji had experienced the chaotic battle back then; this fella had not even reached him , but he could tell that this was a cavalry soldier from Gu Nuo Star Tribe. Mo Wuji finally came to an understanding; this Gu Nuo Star Tribe solider should be hunting that male cultivator. After the cavalry soldier saw that there was another Mo Wuji, he did not retreat, but instead sped up his charge. He formed a barbed thorn light within his hands; the barbed thorn light seemed to almost instantly slice through space, as it arrived in front of Mo Wuji in less than a breath¡¯s time. Mo Wuji swung the Tian Ji Pole which was behind his back. He formed a pole shadow which was like a waterfall, there were no twists nor bends, he just swung it straight downwards. "Boom!" Elemental energy immediately exploded. That barbed thorn light was directly destroyed; that cavalry soldier didn''t even have the chance to dodge. He was immediately killed by Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole. Mo Wuji waved his hand and a ring was collected by him. From the looks of it, this cavalry soldier was at most at the Great Circle of True God Stage, so he should not have anything good. However, what Mo Wuji was lacking most was cultivation resources. A mosquito might have little meat, but it was still meat. "You¡­" The cultivator that came first stared at Mo Wuji in shock. Without displaying a single skill, a Great Circle of the True God Stage cultivator was killed by Mo Wuji. Luckily, this male cultivator was fast to react; he bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "I didn''t expect senior to reach the Worldly Immortal Stage so quickly. Junior Shi Lu thanks senior for your saving grace." Only now did Mo Wuji know that the other party had thought him to be a Worldly Immortal. After all, his previous attack was too overbearing. That True God that he easily killed, was already at the Great Circle of the stage. "Dao Friend Shi is too courteous. I just returned, can I ask, has the Universal Pier been occupied by the alien cultivators and space beasts?" Mo Wuji clasped his hands and asked. Shi Lu explained, "After the Star Lord perished, Universal Pier was occupied by these foreign species a few years ago. Even though I haven''t went to Zhen Xing, but I can guess that Zhen Xing''s front door - Piercing Wind City - should be in perilous danger¡­" "Star King Mountain''s Star Lord is dead?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise. Shi Lu nodded, "Those years ago, the Half Moon Immortal Palace was refined and taken away by Lei Hongji. The Star Lord was too shocked by Lei Hongji''s betrayal, and he was killed by the sneak attack of a Gu Nuo Star Tribe''s Earthly Immortal Elementary Stage expert¡­" When he heard that the Half Moon Prison was refined by Lei Hongji that ·´¹Ç×Ð, Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with discontent. That fella had a huge enmity with him; now that he controlled the Half Moon Prison, how much more powerful would he be? "Before the Star Lord perished, he designated you as the next heir to the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord¡­" Shi Lu didn''t manage to finish his words when he was interrupted by Mo Wuji, "Wait wait, you''re saying that the Star Lord designated me to be the heir of the Star Lord of Star King Mountain?" It was no surprise why Mo Wuji was so stupefied by these words; he didn''t even have any ties to Chi Tong. After the Half Moon Immortal Palace appeared, they only had a bit of interaction, and it was an unpleasant interaction at that. Chi Tong was too cowardly, he couldn''t even respond to the threat of that leopard beast, leaving Mo Wuji too disappointed. Moreover, among the six Worldly Immortals searching for him at the Extreme Frost Sea, Mo Wuji suspected that some of them were Chi Tong''s men. This kind of Star Lord, to be perfectly honest, did not garner any respect from Mo Wuji. "That''s right. This matter was heard by countless of people, there''s no way I can lie about this. Eventually, I heard that that the three clans and the various hall masters were competing for the place of the Star Lord, leading to the fall of Universal Hall." Shi Lu continued to explain. Mo Wuji nodded; he had no interest in being the Star Lord. He came to Zhen Xing with a purpose, besides checking up on Yan''Er, he wanted to see if he could take Universal Peak Token from the top of the Universal Board. As Mo Wuji thought of this, Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that Yan''Er was still in Zhen Mo Continent. If these foreign species invade into Zhen Mo Continent, what would happen to Yan''Er? "Dao Friend Shi, hurry and tell me, have the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts invaded into Zhen Mo Continent?" Mo Wuji asked urgently. Shi Lu shook his head and said, "According to what I know from half a year ago, they shouldn''t have broken past Piercing Wind City. But I don''t know how it is right now." When he finished speaking, Shi Lu seemed to remember something, and he spoke in a higher volume, "Senior Mo, I heard that the Space Wolf King is going around finding you. You better go. If you appear at Universal Hall, that Space Wolf King would soon get the news and come pursuing after you." Mo Wuji snorted and said, "Let him come if he wants. Even if he doesn¡¯t come for me, I will still make a trip to his wolf kennel. A bunch of beasts, actually wanting to take over the place where human beings stay." "Senior Mo¡¯s words really touch my heart. Those foreign species, be it the alien Gu Nuo Star Tribe, or those beasts, since they dared to invade our Zhen Xing, they must be slaughtered." Shi Lu immediately clapped his hands, as though he had met a bosom friend. "Dao Friend Shi, let¡¯s just address each other as ¡®dao friends¡¯. Calling me senior is being too formal. Oh right, why is there a red ribbon on your wrist?" Mo Wuji pointed at Shi Lu¡¯s hand and asked. Shi Lu was seemingly not a secretive person, he pointed at his red ribbon and explained, "Brother Mo, I¡¯m not the one who came up with this red ribbon. It¡¯s because in the Zhen Mo Continent, there¡¯s a cultivator called Solitary Red Knot. Over these years, he had been always been killing all the aliens and beasts he sees. If he saw one of these foreign species acting against a Zhen Xing cultivator, he would not hesitate to help. Over the course of time, many Zhen Xing culitvators, who could no longer return back to Zhen Xing, all don this red ribbon around their wrist, in support of Solitary Red Knot. We call ourselves Red Knot Fellows." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect for Solitary Red Knot to actually make such a huge influence. From the looks of it, he should also have obtained something good from Half Moon Prison. "Brother Mo, Xia Clan and Mou Clan are going around hunting the cultivators who came from Lost Continent. Even if Universal Pier isn¡¯t occupied by these foreign species, I would still advise for you not to go back." Shi Lu dissuaded once more. "What?" Mo Wuji felt like a huge fire had started burning in his heart. Even if they were angered, wasn¡¯t this too preposterous? He didn¡¯t even know most of those geniuses from the Lost Continent, but they were actually being hunted? From the looks of it, he had yet to adapt to the shamelessness of the cultivation world. Would anything happen to Ren Tianxing? Feeling the heavy killing intent surging from Mo Wuji, Shi Lu subconsciously took a few steps back and asked quietly, "Brother Mo, why don¡¯t you follow me and hide for the time being? I know a relatively safe place. Not only can you cultivate, you also wouldn¡¯t be easily discovered." Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Hide? Since I¡¯ve returned, I don¡¯t intend to leave and continue to be chased after. Even if I leave, it will be in an upright and open manner. No one here has the rights to force me to hide. If that Space Wolf King appeared, it did have the qualifications to force him to hide. But since he¡¯s here, he decided that he will take back the Universal Hall. No matter how impressive the Space Wolf King was, if he had the Universal Hall, that wolf would still be helpless against him. "Ah..." Shi Lu stared at Mo Wuji aghastly. Since he¡¯s returned, he didn¡¯t intent to leave? There¡¯s no need for him to mention the Space Wolf King, just that million of soldiers guarding outside the Universal Pier was not something they could even deal with. Mo Wuji did not explain anything, simply taking out a huge cannon. This time, he picked the extreme ice cannon. It was easy to solve the problem using the laser cannon or a heavenly fire cannon. However, the only problem was, after he fired the cannon, there would be nothing left for him. Whether it was storage rings or space contribution points, he wouldn¡¯t get any of it. Now, the things he needed were exactly space contribution points, and of course the fortune within the rings of these countless alien soldiers. "Brother Mo, you intend to use this spiritual cannon to deal with these foreign invaders?" Seeing Mo Wuji take out a huge cannon, Shi Lu asked. He had started preparing himself to run. Spiritual cannons, this sort of thing, was typically installed on a battleship or a castle wall. However, the power of a cannon was limited, it was not very flexible, and it had to use a lot of spirit stones. In other words, for a poor cultivator, he could only fire a few rounds before running out of spirit stones. "Right. After I re-occupy Universal Pier, you can go and contact those fellows of your. Get them to come back and help protect the Universal Pier." Mo Wuji said offhandedly. Mo Wuji was far stronger than Shi Lu, no matter what Mo Wuji said, Shi Lu wasn¡¯t in a position to reject. Thus, he could only reply, "Ok then¡­" He had already prepared himself. The moment those foreign invaders come charging over, he would run for his life by himself. Mo Wuji was much stronger than him, so naturally, Mo Wuji would be able to escape before him. A extreme ice cannon ammunition was inserted into the cannon. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already swept across the space beast military camp and the Gu Nuo military camp. These two camps were not that far from one another. Mo Wuji knew the power of his cannons, but to ensure that none of these foreign invaders could escape, he specially picked the plus sized cannon. The extreme ice cannon was ignited. A blinding white light was fired. Shi Lu didn¡¯t even hear any loud explosion; he could only feel teh surrounding air freezing up. At this instant, his eyes could no longer see anything. More accurately, he could only se a patch of white. Even his spiritual will could only scan that snowy white patch. "Boom!" Only after a long time, did the huge tremors in space come reveberating over. It took a full ten breaths of time before those tremors disappeared. To Shi Lu¡¯s huge surprise, everything in front of him was frozen. What the hell was this cannon? How could it be so terrifying? Even at a distance, Shi Lu¡¯s hands were already frozen. If he was directly in the blast zone, he wouldn¡¯t even escape with his life. It wasn¡¯t just Shi Lu; Mo Wuji was equally shocked. He had always thought that the laser cannon was the most powerful cannon among his cannons. But now, he found that this extreme ice cannon was more than multiple times stronger than his laser cannon? Even under the scan of his spiritual will, all he could see was frosty ice. Chapter 356: House Slave Chanse Chapter 356: House Slave Chanse Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Chanse, Gu Nuo Beast Cavalry Commander. His pair of sharp ears gaze off an intelligent look, but in terms of talent, he could also be considered among the best in Gu Nuo Star Tribe. Previously, when the Half Moon Prison emerged, Chanse was still at the Great Circle of True God Stage. These few years had passed, and he was already an expert at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. Compared to on Gu Nuo Star, his life on Zhen Xing¡¯s Universal Pier had been more carefree. At Gu Nuo, even though his ears looked a little amusing, his status was not very high. Eventually, he followed the cavalry to take part in the Half Moon Immortal Palace Battle, and while he didn¡¯t obtain anything much from within, he did earn some military merits. With these merits, he was able to become a commander in the Gu Nuo cavalry. After a few years of cultivation, he advanced into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. The power he possessed, and the copious resources that came from Universal Pier, left him extremely contented. He even secretly made a resolution; he must succeed in advancing into the Earthly Immortal Stage here. Wait till he becomes an actual Earthly Immortal, who in Gu Nuo would still look at him with contempt? At this moment, Chanse had just stepped out of the spatial gate from the third floor of Universal Pier. The moment he entered into space, he felt waves of quakes reverberating through space, followed by the explosion of whiteness which seemed to extend endlessly. Besides that white frost which extended indeterminately, he could not see anything else. That frost instantly invaded his spirit channels. Chanse was a war-hardened man; he immediately knew that things weren¡¯t going good. He wanted to use his fastest speed to retreat back into Universal Pier, but that icy frost had already complete froze him. He could only stare as the frost seeped in from the clothes to his body; watch gradual dispersion and scattering of his primordial spirit; and feel the slow shattering of his spirit channels¡­ At this moment, fear and shock completely inundated Chanse¡¯s entire heart and spirit. Even if he faced an Earthly Immortal expert, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid to such an extent. He lifted his head, and immediately saw a more terrifying sight. The combined forces of the Gu Nuo cavalry and the space beasts numbered close to a million, and the soldiers dispatched here were the best among the best. Not even a huge horde of low class space beasts, huge enough to blot out the entire sky, was enough to faze them. However, at this instant, this million-strong army was also swept within the boundless white light. Compared to the secondary frost he was currently experiencing, that million-strong army was right within the blast zone. He could see a cultivator slowly turn into an ice statue, then that ice statue shattered, turning into pieces and scattering into vast space. He finally understood why he hadn¡¯t died; he was not within the blast zone of that cold white light, and he wasn¡¯t there firsthand when that cold white light appeared. Moreover, he was a Worldly Immortal, so he did not perish immediately. His willpower and consciousness slowly turned blurry; his heart was ice cold. Previously, when the Gu Nuo cavalry was sent to take part in the battle for the Half Moon Immortal Palace, the Gu Nuo Prophet said that Zhen Xing was not to be touched, at least with Gu Nuo¡¯s abilties¡­ That prophecy turned out to be true. Under this deadly white light, all the beast cavalry soldiers were screwed. Even those soldiers that were in Universal Pier now wouldn¡¯t be any better of. Oh right, Gu Nuo¡¯s number 1 commander, Sid, should have been within the blast zone right? In the boundless pieces of shattered ice, Commander Sid might be some of them¡­ ¡­ "Brother Mo, this¡­" Shi Lu stared disbelievingly at the icy coldness which pervaded after the white light disappeared, and muttered in shock. Mo Wuji kept his extreme ice cannon, with a bit of unhappiness in his heart. He was increasingly sure, these cannons of his were not meant for this world. They must have descended from some higher world. These cannon ammunition were invaluable, every one he used was one less ammunition left for him. In the future, if he reaches that other world, what should he do if he needed these huge cannons? More importantly, he promised that white-whiskered fisherman, that he would go to that dogshit Gods Tower, and find that ridiculous immortal sealing array. How powerful was that white-whiskered fisherman? If he wasn¡¯t able to do it himself, it meant that it would be even more impossible for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also knew, as a cultivator, he must not rely on external items. However, with his bit of ability, if he didn¡¯t rely on these external items, then he would only be preparing himself for death. "Let¡¯s go take a look." Mo Wuji calmed his emotions, and said simply. Even though the threat of the extreme ice cannon had already passed, the military encampments remained icy cold. Mo Wuji was strong, and he had tempered himself in the Extreme Frost Sea, so this sort of cold did not mean much to him. On the other hand, Shi Lu had to circulate his elemental energy to protect himself; his heart was still shaking in shock, the cannon had already been fired quite some time ago, but he was still almost unable to defend against its effects. "The defensive arrays here have been completely wasted." Shi Lu looked at the barren space and sighed. Previously, this place was used by Zhen Mo Continent as the military camps for their cultivator armies. There were defensive arrays set in place here. Besides that, there were even spirit gathering arrays, star imitation arrays, etc¡­ But now, there was blankness. There was no longer any form of obstructions. The only thing which remained here, were the bits of rubble. Mo Wuji shook his head, and grabbed his universal token hung at his waist. Space Contribution Points: 1721673; Rank 98. Mo Wuji could finally feel a bit of comfort; the extreme ice cannon was indeed able to help him obtain space contribution points. However, this was definitely only a small portion of the points. Here, there were around a million soldiers and beasts, and the weakest should have been in the Yuan Dan Stage, or Class 4. Adding this up, it would definitely be much more than 1 to 2 million space contribution points. However, he merely obtained a little over 1 million contribution points. This meant that the extreme ice cannon was still too strong, causing some of the points to be lost. As for the rings, Mo Wuji could only gather some at the peripheries. Right at the epicenter of the impact, not even a single one could be found. His dreams of striking it rich could only go unfulfilled. "Brother Mo, there¡¯s still a complete¡­" Shi Lu noticed Chanse first in the distance. Mo Wuji took one step over, and directly extended his hand on Chanse. Chanse¡¯s entire body was rapidly freezing, and a trail of black blood flowed out the corner of his mouth. This fella¡¯s life force was rather resilient; he actually didn¡¯t die. Mo Wuji immediately grabbed a pill and threw it into Chanse¡¯s mouth. Actually, Mo Wuji knew that he took out the Immeasurable Soul-Prolonging Flower, he would definitely be able to save this sharp-eared Gu Nuo soldier. However, Mo Wuji did not want to waste this sort of precious spiritual herb here. This Chanse was really quite resilient; in an incense¡¯s time, this fella actually woke up. When he discovered that he had not died, Chanse immediately started circulating energy to heal himself. Soon, Chanse was able to stabilise his injuries. Then he saw Mo Wuji and Shi Lu were staring at him in complete shock. Mo Wuji simply said, "That army of a million has already been destroyed by me. Now, I give you two choice. One, I will give you a ball of fire, and you could die in a neater manner. Two, become my house slave; offer your primordial spirit up and bear my brand. "I, Chanse, am willing to become Lord Mo¡¯s house slave. I will not regret it for the rest of eternity." Chanse did not even seem to hesitate, as he opened up his heart and sent out his primordial spirit. Mo Wuji was left at a shock; when Half Moon Prison emerged, he personally saw the Gu Nuo cavalry soldiers¡¯ valiance and fearlessness. Not only did this fella recognise Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t even hesitate as he immediately offered his primordial spirit for Mo Wuji to brand. He even said things so swiftly. Was this fella really a courageous soldier of Gu Nuo? Mo Wuji did not know that not only was Chanse a member of the Gu Nuo Beast Cavalry, he was even a commander. What he didn¡¯t know as well, were the thoughts in Chanse¡¯s heart. Chanse recognised Mo Wuji. Previously, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation did not seem very high, but he was able to slaughter the White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince, and even kill a Worldly Immortal that plotted against him. Even when he was surrounded by multiple Worldly Immortal experts, he was the first to discover the Half Moon Immortal Palace, and was the first to escape into the Half Moon Immortal Palace. And today, Chanse personally saw the horror of the extreme ice cannon. If this cannon was casually fired at Gu Nuo, then the entire Gu Nuo could be occupied with a mere wave of a hand. There¡¯s no need to mention the fact that he was facing death. Even if he was alive and well, he would not reject following such an expert. Chanse did not really feel a sense of attachment to Gu Nuo. Because all his life, he was ostracised. Because his ears were sharp, he had always been laughed at. If not for his talent, his courage during the struggle for Half Moon Immortal Palace, and his strong cultivation, Chanse would not have become a commander. Since this fella willingly offered out his soul¡¯s primordial spirit, Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to ask any question. He directly branded an imprint on Chanse¡¯s soul then said, "From now on, you will follow me, and listen to my instructions. "Yes, lord¡­" Chanse spoke respectfully; his tone was incomparably humble. Mo Wuji was suddenly reminded of Yan¡¯Er. Previously, Yan¡¯Er also stayed by his side and followed him. The only difference was, Yan¡¯Er did it willingly, while this Chanse did it because of the soul imprint. If Mo Wuji wanted it, he could get this person to kill himself at any moment. "In the future, just call me young master." Mo Wuji said gently; Yan¡¯Er had always called him young master. If Yan¡¯Er was here she could order Chanse around, then she no longer had to do everything personally¡­ Ai, Yan¡¯Er¡¯s cultivation might even be higher than his right now. Mo Wuji shook his head and cast these thoughts aside. "Yes, young master." Chanse hurriedly changed his words. Mo Wuji took out a shred of the Immeasurable Soul-Prolonging Flower and handed it to Chanse, "Use this. Your damaged soul should recover by itself. "Immeasurable Soul-Prolonging Flower¡­" Chanse accepted the shred and immediately cried out emotionally. He was not a person who didn¡¯t know his goods; even a shred of the Immeasurable Soul-Prolonging Flower contained huge effects on recovering the soul. His master was truly not simple; the first thing he casually took out was already a priceless treasure. At this moment, a raging fire burned in Chanse¡¯s heart. If one day his master breaks through the void, then wouldn¡¯t he also be able to follow too? Mo Wuji waved his hands, disrupting Chanse¡¯s fantasies, "I will now go into Universal Pier, then occupy Universal Pier. Tell me, what¡¯s the strength of the Gu Nuo soldiers and space beasts left within Universal Pier. Also, has Zhen Xing already been occupied?" "Yes young master." Chanse bowed respectfully. Chapter 357: One Man’s Attack Chapter 357: One Man¡¯s Attack Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The plaza outside Universal Hall. At this instant, there was almost no one here. Ever since that peak Class 7 Space Lion was killed from the backblast of the Universal Board, the Universal Board had been placed off limits from these foreign species. Since no one was at the plaza, naturally no one noticed the new name on the primary Universal Board: Mo Wuji. Not only did Mo Wuji appear on the primary board, he was even in the top 100. One must know that in the countless years of the Universal Board¡¯s establishment, especially the names of the primary board, almost all these people were experts who have trained for innumerable years. This time, however, a young person had suddenly charged up to the top 100. If this was known by the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivators, it would definitely cause a major upheaval. ¡­ Half an incense¡¯s time later, Shi Lu sent out ten flying messenger swords. Then, he followed Mo Wuji and Chanse through the spatial gate. When the two True God cultivators guarding the other side of the spatial gate saw Chanse, they immediately bowed. However, contempt could be seen in their eyes, it was the same contempt they felt towards the space beasts that joined them to occupy Universal Hall. Just a bunch of animals¡­ If not for Lord Sid¡¯s magnanimity, how would those animals get the rights to enter Universal Hall? And this Chanse, no matter how one looked, he seemed like some hybrid animal, how did he get the rights to become Gu Nuo¡¯s commander? The fact that the Universal Hall could only have been occupied due to the help of the Space Wolf King had long been thrown aside by them. Before their eyes turned to Mo Wuji, Chanse flipped his wrists. Two beams of light flashed; these two bowing True Gods were already killed. Mo Wuji nodded his head. Looks like this house slave is not bad; at least he knew how to behave in delicate situations. Not faraway, the tens of Gu Nuo cavalry soldiers, and the hundred over space beasts were shocked by this sudden event. Everyone knew Chanse; he was a commander at the Universal Pier. Why did this commander suddenly act against his own man? And he didn¡¯t even say anything? Before these foreign invaders could react, Mo Wuji opened his hand, spilling out streaks of lightning bolts. In less than a minute, these cultivators which numbered close to 200 where massacred. Shi Lu looked upon the scene with waves of emotions surging in his heart. If he had such a lightning skill, during a battle, he only needed to lift his hand and everything around him would be obliterated. How good would that feel? "Dao Friend Shi Lu, you will stay here with Chanse to protect Universal Pier. One, you need to gather the cultivators from space. Two, you cannot allow any of these foreign invaders in. If anything happens, immediately send me a message," Mo Wuji instructed. "Brother Mo, you can rest assured. Nothing will go wrong with me here," Shi Lu seemingly slapped his chest and said. He was very familiar with Universal Pier. Here, one man alone could hold back 10,000 of the enemy forces. Moreover, all the invaders outside had already been destroyed by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji even dispatched Chanse here to help him; this fella was at least in the Worldly Immortal Stage. As he thought of this, Shi Lu hurriedly said, "Brother Mo, there are a few experts here. There is one called Bao Lie, Brother Mo should know that fella. There¡¯s also one called Sid, and another one called Hoover. There are experts that are either in late Class 8 or the advanced stage of Worldly Immortal Stage. Especially that Sid, he might already be in the Great Circle of the Worldly Immortal Stage. Chanse hurriedly said, "Sid is already dead. Previously, he was within the military camp outside Universal Pier, so there¡¯s no to worry." Once again, Shi Lu exhaled a breath of cold air. Sid might not be the most powerful fella in Gu Nuo, but he was the leader of the Gu Nuo cavalry. That cannon¡¯s power was truly so terrifying that even Sid was killed. "Alright, I¡¯ll go down and clean the area up. This place will be left to you and Chanse," When Mo Wuji finished, his figure flashed past, and he already went from the third floor down to the second floor. Back then, because the Space Wolf King was too strong, Universal Pier did not sustain much damage before all the Zhen Xing cultivators were chased away. Now, all the items in the second level which could be exchanged for had disappeared while the structural integrity of the level was still quite good. The number of foreign invaders on the second floor were slightly more than on the third floor, but it still didn¡¯t exceeded two to three hundred. Moreover, most of them were below the True God Stage. Mo Wuji shot out several bolts of lightning. The entire area was now completely swept clean. The hall on the first floor of the Universal Pier was extremely huge. Likewise, most of the foreign invaders were gathered here. Mo Wuji did a simple sweep with his spiritual will and found that there were at least 10,000 of them here. These foreign species were either cultivating or resting. Below the Universal Pier, was a peak grade spiritual vein. If it had not been extracted, the area here should be rich in spiritual energy. No one even noticed when Mo Wuji walked down from the second floor. Mo Wuji soon discovered that there were at least two space beasts at the early Class 8, and there was even an expert at Worldly Immortal Elementary Stage. No matter where one went, or whether they were beasts or human beings, these experts would sit at the most conspicuous spots. Mo Wuji directly walked over to them. Before he could get close, those two Class 8 space beasts and that Worldly Immortal turned and saw Mo Wuji. "You are?" That Worldly Immortal also took part in the Half Moon Immortal Palace Battle, and he could faintly recognise Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not even bother answering him. He lifted his hand and a lightning web descended. The lightning web directly netted all three of them. However, the moment Mo Wuji started attacking, the other party had already reacted. Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning web would easily kill a True God Stage cultivator upon contact, but that Worldly Immortal was merely injured, and he had immediately broke free of the lightning web. Just as he was about to use his magic treasure to attack Mo Wuji, a lightning sword rapidly approached him. "Pui!" This Worldly Immortal had just charged out of the lightning web. He had not even condensed his defenses fully, but he was directly killed by the ambush of Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. After a bit of time, the two Class 8 space beasts whipped out their magic treasures and charged towards Mo Wuji. At the same time, the first floor of the Universal Pier turned into a complete mess. Someone had suddenly entered Universal Pier and started killing people. From a logical point of view, this was simply impossible. After all, the Universal Pier was guarded by an army of a million soldiers, and among them, were experts close to the Earthly Immortal Stage. As for the Universal Hall¡¯s transfer array, it had already been closed at this moment. Mo Wuji wielded his Tian Ji Pole, his unfathomable Nirvana Pole Shadow struck one of the Class 8 beast, and another two thick bolts of lightning were shot out. When Mo Wuji ambushed that Worldly Immortal, these Class 8 space beasts had already made their preparations. As expected, Mo Wuji secretly struck out with two lightning swords. "Boom!" That Class 8 space beast whose head had been struck hurriedly transformed his wolf-teeth spear into a black iron wall, swiftly blocking against Mo Wuji¡¯s two lightning swords. The lightning sword had been blocked, breaking apart into streaks of lightning. The other Class 8 space beast revealed a trace of viciousness in its eyes; Mo Wuji had ambushed their Worldly Immortal, and was even fighting the two of them at full force. Now, it was time for Mo Wuji to die. This space beast suppressed a low roar in his throat; opening his mouth and 10,000 radiant blades were spit out. Almost at the same instant that this space beast was prepared to eliminate Mo Wuji, a steel pole emerged from some unknown location, and without any sign, it descended against its skull. If this was an ordinary pole, even if it was a sneak attack, it would only injure this space beast at the most. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole was naturally not an ordinary pole; it was infused with all of the elemental energy from his violet elemental lake. "Pui!" A fog of blood was exploded; this space beast was smashed in half by Mo Wuji¡¯s pole. The last Class 8 space beast saw that Mo Wuji had killed one Worldly Immortal and one Class 8 space beast in the blink of an eye; its heart instantly turned cold. Even though it had dodged Mo Wuji¡¯s two lightning sword, it no longer dared to fight against Mo Wuji. Just as it turned and tried to escape, another lightning web descended, and seven to eight lightning swords pierced through it. Despair brewed in this Class 8 space beast¡¯s heart; how could he escape from such attacks. The instant before it was killed by Mo Wuji, this beast suddenly had a revelation; just now, it wasn¡¯t its opponent¡¯s most powerful move. In a short period of time, Mo Wuji had eliminated three experts. What¡¯s left behind were merely Class 7 beasts or True God Stage cultivators. More of them were in the Nihility Stage and below, or Class 6 and below. Towards these low leveled cultivators and space beasts, Mo Wuji did not have a hint of worry. A dense lightning rain filled the entire first floor of the Universal Hall. With Mo Wuji¡¯s power, each lightning bolt was almost as strong as the Lightning Calamity from heavenly tribulation. At the very least, the Lightning Calamity had lightning essence and spirituality which could induce enlightenment. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning bolts were filled with killing intent, raw and naked killing intent. Even though countless space beasts and Gu Nuo cultivators tried to team up and fight Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji¡¯s Nirvana Pole Shadow and protective elemental energy were truly too strong. Every attack that came to him was immediately rejected. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s boundless lightning rain, except for a few stronger True God Stage cultivators which could take a blow or two, the other space beasts and cultivators were not even able to resist. Those stronger ones who could defend against Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning bolts, were then sliced by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. This was not a battle; this was a one-sided massacre. The lightning bolts and lightning swords rampaged for roughly two hours. Only then, did they stop. At this instant, within the first floor of the Universal Pier, were the corpses of the space beasts and alien cultivators slaughtered by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sighed. He had already extended his spiritual will sweeping outwards. In Universal Hall, there were still at least a million space beasts and Gu Nuo cultivators. Among which, were some fellows that were stronger than him. If he wanted to occupy Universal Hall, he could not continue what he had been doing. He was only one person. If the Universal Hall was alerted of his presence, he would be immediately surrounded by countless of foreign invaders. That was akin to sending himself to die. Just now, if he did not ambush and kill those two Class 8 space beasts and that Worldly Immortal, the battle might still be going on now. This might even alert those in Universal Hall. If he wanted to occupy Universal Hall, he needed another way. He definitely couldn¡¯t continue to use these crude killing methods. Chapter 358: Invading Zhen Xing Chapter 358: Invading Zhen Xing Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Brother Mo,you are indeed alright," The Solitary Red Knot¡¯s surprised voice could be heard and shortly after, Mo Wuji saw the Solitary Red Knot hurrying over from the entrance of the building. Behind the Solitary Red Knot were over ten people but other than Chanse and Shi Lu, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t recognise the rest of them. Mo Wuji laughed as he took a step forward to say, "Red Knot, congratulations on making such a big name for yourself." The Solitary Red Knot had an impressive aura so Mo Wuji guessed that he should at least be in the True God Stage Level 6. One should know that the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s rate of cultivation was really slow previously but the fact that after just a few years, he managed to jump so many levels proved that his aptitude wasn¡¯t that poor. But because he had always been living through tough times with no proper cultivation resources. After receiving the storage ring from the Half Moon Prison, he must have used the spirit stone slags to increase his cultivation level at this insane rate. The Solitary Red Knot didn¡¯t continue speaking as he joined the rest in staring at the floor full charred black corpses in the hall on the first level. The Universal Pier¡¯s hall was indeed a huge plaza and the charred black bodies lying on the floor covered almost one third of the entire area. There were still some random lightning bolts flashing by so that passerbys would be able to know what method Mo Wuji used to kill everyone here. The Solitary Red Knot took in a deep breath before saying, "Brother Mo, I thought the rate in which my strength was increasing was fast but compared to yours, I realised my puny improvement is definitely not worthy of a mention in front of you." Back then Mo Wuji killed Yan Pingzhi and now among those that were killed by Mo Wuji, he recognised a space beast which was not any weaker than Yan Pingzhi. That was a Class 8 demonic beast that Mo Wuji killed so casually here. "Greetings Brother Mo," The rest of the people had finally came to their senses from the shock as they hurried to greet Mo Wuji. In fact, they had the same thoughts as Shi Lu which was that Mo Wuji should be in the Worldly Immortal Stage already. Mo Wuji returned the greetings before saying, "I initially thought that I would need to wait for another two days before you guys would arrive. I certainly didn¡¯t expect you all to make it here so quickly." The Solitary Red Knot hurried to say, "I was with a few of my brothers hunting for some space beasts when I heard the message from Dao Friend Shi Lu that you have returned to the Universal Pier and even won it back. I wouldn¡¯t believe what I¡¯ve heard if it was any other person but when I heard it was you, I was confident it was true. I rushed over with my men immediately only to find out that I am not dreaming." As he spoke, the Solitary Red Knot introduced the people he brought over. Hong Hua, a calm man with not a very tall build, was in a slightly higher cultivation level than the Solitary Red Knot in the True God Stage Level 9. Zhang Tiancheng, True God Stage Level 6, with a noncommittal expression in his eyes. Yu Wu, a female True God Stage Level 2 cultivator and the way she spoke resembled Aunt Eleven, forthright and direct. ¡­ Mo Wuji was secretly happy for the Solitary Red Knot because he had all along been travelling alone. After experiencing the Half Moon Prison incident and the invasion of Zhen Xing, he changed drastically as he even found like-minded cultivators to work hard together. The cultivators that Solitary Red Knot brought along held even more admiration for Mo Wuji than before. Previously because of Shi Lu and the Solitary Red Knot¡¯s respect for Mo Wuji, they had already started admiring him and now that they had witnessed the ground full of foreign corpses behind him, their admiration for him grew tremendously. "Chanse, come over," Mo Wuji saw Chanse standing all the way at the back as he waved for him. Chanse hurried to bow and said, "Young master." "Do you have any way to gather all of the space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry cultivators in the Universal Hall to the plaza in front of the Universal Hall now?" Mo Wuji¡¯s words made Shi Lu and even Chanse took in a breath of cold air as they all understood what Mo Wuji was planning to do. He was thinking of the cannon that killed over millions of cultivators not too long ago. However, both Shi Lu and Chanse knew clearly that if he didn¡¯t use the cannon, it would be extremely difficult to accomplish a clean sweep of the enemies. "Young master, I have a way. I just need to give out an order for everyone to gather in the plaza in front of the Universal Hall on behalf of Sid. No one would not listen to Commander¡¯s Sid¡¯s orders," Chanse reacted very quickly as he suggested. This traditional long eared cultivator was indeed very smart and his suggestion was indeed very well thought out. As long as he managed to spread Sid¡¯s order for everyone to gather in the plaza in front of the Universal Hall, this matter would be solved easily. Sid had a very reputable name in the Universal Hall and even Bao Lie would have to listen to his orders. Shi Lu¡¯s started to shiver because he knew as long as Chanse managed to pull that off, all the foreign cultivators in the Universal Hall would be utterly destroyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s cannon. The Solitary Red Knot and co. had heard the brief story from Shi Lu about how Mo Wuji took over the Universal Pier and as much as it was unbelievable, this was the most simple and direct way to describe how Mo Wuji took over the Universal Pier. Therefore, they were extremely excited to witness Mo Wuji¡¯s extreme ice cannon. Just as Chanse was about to leave, waves of insane cheers could be heard from outside. A few cultivators hurried inside and before they could get hold of the situation, they shouted, "The transfer array is done up, we can enter Zhen Xing¡­" These cultivators¡¯ words were stuck in their throats as they finally saw the horrific scene in the hall of the Universal Pier. Without waiting for these foreign cultivators to retreat, Mo Wuji shot out a few lightning bolts. After killing the cultivators that barged in in the shortest possible time, Mo Wuji said to the people around him, "Shi Lu, bring a few people to guard the spatial gate at the Universal Pier. Do not let anyone steal the spatial gate away. Red Knot, bring a few guys to guard the level one door of the Universal Pier. Do not let anyone come in and find out about this situation. Chanse, you follow me out." Finishing, Mo Wuji was the first to rush out of the gate of the Universal Pier. Using his spiritual will, Mo Wuji saw the foreign cultivators charging crazily towards the transfer array on the plaza in the Universal Hall. At this moment, Mo Wuji really saw what it meant by a complete pandemonium. Other than some Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry cultivators who were still queuing orderly, the space beasts were almost erratic as they were all fighting for their turn to be transferred. Mo Wuji said to Chanse, "Immediately spread Sid¡¯s order and say that this is a warrant from Commander Sid to inform everyone that the transfer array had been fixed up towards Zhen Xing so all Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry cultivators and space beasts please gather on the plaza in front of the Universal Hall. After you spread the word, hurry inside the Universal Pier immediately." "Yes, young master," Chanse had just brought the level of professional conduct of a servant to the extreme as he didn''t even question a single thing before charging out. At the same time when Chanse rushed out, Mo Wuji followed the crowd out or the Universal Hall. However, he didn¡¯t enter the plaza but sneaked into a corner outside the Universal Hall as he installed a few array flags. Using Mo Wuji¡¯s methods, it wasn¡¯t a difficult task to set up a concealment array here in a short amount of time. As long as nobody used their spiritual will to check specifically, it would be quite hard for people to detect his concealment array. After setting up his concealment array, Mo Wuji immediately took out his extreme ice cannon. The plaza in front of the Universal Hall was crowded and messy but Mo Wuji was sure that if he shot his cannon now, he could kill at least over tens of thousands of foreign cultivators. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t do so because his aim wasn¡¯t just these few thousands of foreign cultivators but even more of the foreign force. There were constantly cavaliers and space beasts entering Zhen Xing from the transfer array but Mo Wuji could only bear with it. No matter how strong the transfer array was, it couldn¡¯t possibly send these millions of foreign force out into Zhen Xing so quickly. As for those foreign force that had already entered Zhen Xing, he would leave it to the cultivators in Zhen Xing to handle because Mo Wuji simply couldn¡¯t be the only one doing work. ¡­ Chanse didn¡¯t let Mo Wuji down because in just half an incense time, he had appeared on the array display screen at every corner of the Universal Hall. "I am Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry¡¯s Commander Chanse and I am announcing two important messages on the behalf of first commander, Commander Sid. Firstly, the transfer array towards Zhen Xing had already been fixed up by our experts. From today onwards, we can treat Zhen Xing like our own backyard as we are free to destroy anything we want to destroy¡­" Even though everyone had heard of this news, there were still a lot of cultivators rushing out of the Universal Hall as they couldn¡¯t hold their excitement. Some space beasts were even crying out loud. "Secondly, Commander Sid is about to appear in the plaza outside the Universal Hall so may I ask everyone in the Universal Hall including the cavalry army of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts experts to try and make their way to plaza to listen to Commander Sid¡¯s announcement of the war tactics to conquer Zhen Xing. If there are any rebels, kill without amnesty." No one doubted Chanse¡¯s words because a lot of people knew that Chanse was one of the key figure in the Universal Hall. He was a Worldly Immortal Stage expert who was tasked to guard the Universal Pier so when such an expert came to spread the words personally, it showed how desperate and excited Commander Sid was to conquer the entire Zhen Xing. After Chanse spread the two orders, he rushed towards the Universal Pier immediately. A few alien cultivators didn¡¯t find it odd when they saw Chanse heading towards the Universal Pier because they knew he must have gone to see Commander Sid. Looking at more alien cultivators coming out from the Universal Hall into the plaza, Mo Wuji was secretly praising the good work of Chanse as this fella was really an unexpected reward. This smart and loyal servant was definitely a good to have. There were increasingly more people in the plaza outside the Universal Hall as the number of people grew to about a few hundred thousand very quickly. Even after Chanse spread Commander Sid¡¯s order, the space transfer array didn¡¯t stop transferring as it continued to transfer cultivators and space beasts out into Zhen Xing. This was after all an order given by Bao Lie and Bao Lie held a status similar to Sid. More importantly, the temptation of Zhen Xing was simply too important in every one of the foreign cultivator''s heart. "What¡­ Everyone take a look at the Universal Board ranked number 76. Why does this name, Mo Wuji, sounds so familiar¡­" "I remembered that this fella wasn¡¯t on this main Universal Board previously¡­" ¡­ Just as the crowd were discussing about this, a scream could be heard, "Everyone hurry up and leave the plaza and enter the Universal Hall, Commander Sid¡¯s order is fake¡­" Chapter 359: Star Lord Dies Again Chapter 359: Star Lord Dies Again Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as this voice was heard, a ¡®boom¡¯ could be heard and a vast expanse of white frost covered the sky as it enveloped the entire plaza outside the Universal Hall. ¡­ At the same time, almost all of Zhen Xing¡¯s experts were gathered in the Star Lord¡¯s Residence in the Piercing Wind City. The Star Lord Residence in the Piercing Wind City was originally the residence of the city¡¯s mayor but after some slight alterations, it was turned into the residence of Star Lord Wu Lingzhi. This would also be convenient for the Star Lord to gather his forces to discuss plans to resist the invasion of the foreign troops. For the past few years, Wu Lingzhi had been racking his brain to think of ideas to defend Zhen Xing. Other than coming up with ways to prevent the foreign cultivators from reconstructing the transfer array, he managed to build the Piercing Wind City into something as formidable as a steel wall. Over the years, the defensive array was continuously being renewed and improved until it was eventually turned into a new defensive fortress. Quoting Wu Lingzhi¡¯s words, even if the foreign forces managed to enter the periphery of the Zhen Xing¡¯s Piercing Wind City through the transfer array, the Piercing Wind City must be capable of fending these foreign forces off the city. To do this, he didn¡¯t hold back as he installed countless of forbidden space arrays. Anyone who used the transfer array from the Universal Hall to the periphery of the Piercing Wind City had to pass by the Piercing Wind City to enter Zhen Xing because it was simply impossible to fly here. In other words, even if Chi Tong was revived, he might not have done as well as Wu Lingzhi when faced with such crisis. However, the reason why all the experts were gathered here today was not to discuss further on their plan against the foreign forces but because Wu Lingzhi was murdered. Wu Lingzhi died mysteriously on a seat in the meeting hall with a scar on his forehead as the blood stains around his forehead had already been solidified. The fact that there were no other evident wounds or scars on Wu Lingzhi proved that he wasn¡¯t fighting with anyone but was killed in the Star Lord¡¯s Residence. "Who did it? Who is the traitor here? I don¡¯t believe a foreign expert would be able to enter the Star Lord¡¯s Residence!" Yan Ze shouted his lungs out as his body was filled with killing intent as if he was a sharp sword ready to kill anytime now. This place fell silent as everyone here knew that this was definitely not done by a foreign expert. If a foreign expert managed to sneak in, Wu Lingzhi would have sent out a signal immediately and then be on his guard. He would definitely not just sit there and get killed just like that without any resistance. One must know that Wu Lingzhi was a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7 expert so even if the strongest foreign expert was here, he wouldn¡¯t be completely helpless against him. The Star Sea Hall¡¯s Hall Master Su Xuan¡¯s eyes were red as she clenched her fist tightly. She waited for Yan Ze to finish roaring before her eyes swept across everyone as she said coldly, "Star Lord Wu must have been assassinated in the dark. The fact that he didn¡¯t resist and the disbelief in his eyes proved that he must be killed by someone he didn¡¯t expect to kill him. Also, this person must be of certain status in the Star King Mountain to be able to enter the Star Lord Residence so casually¡­" Even if one didn¡¯t kill Wu Lingzhi, many of the experts here shivered under a glare like that by Su Xuan. Su Xuan was no simple woman. She was both the Hall Master of the Star Sea Hall as well as the commander of the Star Sea Army. Theoretically speaking, the strongest army out of the top 10 armies in Zhen Mo Continent was the Northern Star Army. However, after the fall of Star Lord Chi, Northern Star Army was split into two. Half of them followed Wu Lingzhi while the rest went under the Yan Clan. After this split, the Northern Star Army¡¯s combat power would not be as strong as the Star Sea Army. Therefore, the Star Sea Army truly became the strongest force coupled with the fact that Su Xuan herself was a Worldly Immortal Stage 6 expert, only a person tired of living would choose to go against Su Xuan. Xu Chihuang, who was still only in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1, was trembling because in just a few years, Zhen Xing lost two consecutive Star Lords. The main point was that the deaths of both Star Lord nursed aggrievance as Star Lord Chi Tong died because of the internal conflicts of the Star King Mountain while Wu Lingzhi was killed in the dark in the Star Lord Residence which was supposed to there to protect Zhen Xing. The pity was the Xu Chihuang was too weak and even if he suspected someone, he could not sound off what he wanted to say presently. Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 seemed powerful but it was nothing in a place like this. Moreover, which expert capable of standing here would not have a cultivator army supporting him? "Star Lord Xia, who do you think killed Star Lord Wu?" Su Xuan¡¯s eyes fell on the Hall Master Xia Dandao of the Star Wars Army as she suspected Wu Lingzhi¡¯s death had something to do with Xia Dandao. If it wasn¡¯t Xia Dandao then it must be Yan Pingzhi but this Yan Pingzhi was not even here. Xia Dandao furrowed his brows slightly as the moment he wanted to speak, the hall in the Star Lord¡¯s Residence started trembling. Following which, a large monitor display screen as it displayed a few panicky and desperate faces. "The foreign cultivators have invaded Zhen Xing and are currently attacking the Piercing Wind City and the city is in grave danger now. Hurry, send reinforcements¡­" The cultivators showed in the display screen where trembling as they were evidently shocked by the scene there. Everyone was at daze as this was way too coincidental. Wu Lingzhi just got assassinated here and the foreign experts had fixed up the transfer array and transferred themselves to the Piercing Wind City. Even an idiot knew that this simply couldn¡¯t be pure coincidence. Xia Dandao said in calm tone, "We have two options now. One would be to hurry to the Piercing Wind City to fight our lives away and stop them for entering the Zhen Mo Continent even if we cannot keep the Piercing Wing City. The second option would be to immediately send representatives to negotiate with the foreign cultivators to ask for a reasonable area to ourselves so they would stop their invasion." Xia Dandao¡¯s words shocked everyone because why were the two options so different? The first was to give our lives to protect Zhen Xing while the second was telling everyone to reserve their strength by ceding territories and paying indemnities. But would these foreign forces accept such a deal? Almost everyone was sure that even if Zhen Xing were to offer them tonnes of items, the other party would agree on the surface and they would definitely go back on their word the moment they entered the Piercing Wind City. These foreign barbarians were simply not trustworthy at all. "I believe Hall Master Xia¡¯s first option is not tangible because the moment the foreign forces broke through, they must have an endless flow of army entering Zhen Xing so it would simply be an impossible dream to even think of fending them off¡­" A long bearded, neat-looking man stood out to speak. Before everyone could express their opinions, Su Xuan interrupted them and said, "Enough, everyone follow me to the Piercing Wind City now, we can talk about the rest of the matters later. Xuan Yu, immediately protect Star Lord Wu¡¯s body and make sure no one touches him." "Yes!" A Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 woman stood out to answer as Su Xuan was the first to dash out. Everyone else dashed out after her and Xia Dandao was looking a little unpleased. However, he naturally couldn¡¯t continue to idle here after seeing everyone rushed out. ¡­ At the periphery of the defensive array of the Piercing Wind City, a group of Zhen Xing experts stared blankly at the transfer array as they saw thousands of people landing on Zhen Xing every second. Presently, the Piercing Wind City was already filled with over hundred thousand people and everyone recognised the person leading the line, Bao Lie. He was a demonic beast in the peak of Class 8 as he was just a step away from advancing into Class 9. Additionally, the person standing beside Bao Lie was an Earthly Immortal Stage expert. This expert didn¡¯t like to talk and even the Zhen Xing cultivators didn¡¯t know his name as all they knew was that he was an expert of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the person who killed Star Lord Chi Tong. "My Zhen Xing has our own Earthly Immortal experts too but the pity is that they are all not here¡­" A sect head of one of the sect there said as he ended his sentence with a long sigh. Nobody answered him because in fact, Zhen Xing really had quite a number of Earthly Immortals Stage experts. The number of Earthly Immortal Stage experts on the Universal Board itself was a proof. However, none of these Earthly Immortal Stage experts would stay in Zhen Xing as they were mostly wandering in the vast space looking for ways to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage or ways to break the void to obtain longevity techniques. If these experts heard about the news of Zhen Xing being invaded from far away, they might even be too lazy to return. To them, advancing to a higher level was of the most importance. "Boom boom boom!" Sounds of continuous explosions could be heard near the the defensive array of the Piercing Wind City and this was only the combined attacks of tens of thousand enemies. Imagine the force of hundred thousand or even a million foreign cultivators, it was only a matter of time before the Piercing Wind City would be broken open. And there was no doubt the numbers would reach over a million soon just from the way the transfer array was transferring thousands of cultivators each time. "Should I just sit here and do nothing? Those willing to sacrifice for Zhen Xing, follow me out," Yan Ze shouted menacingly as he saw the endless flow of foreign cultivators. Before anyone could react, Xia Dandao said coolly, "Back then, the reason Star Lord Wu built so many defensive arrays was so he could protect the Piercing Wind City. By charging out like that, what was the point of building all these defensive arrays then?" Su Xuan grunted coldly, "I agree with Hall Master Yan. Back then Star Lord Wu built these defensive arrays was so that when the foreign forces finished building their transfer array, we could grab the opportunity to charge out and kill them instead of waiting for them to break through. Waiting here would simply be like waiting for our death." "Kill!" While speaking, she had already brought most of the cultivators alongside Yan Ze as they charged out. Even without a commander, most of the cultivators followed out when the two of them took charge of the situation. Everyone knew what Su Xuan said was the truth because the moment the foreign forces were all transferred over, the Piercing Wind City would never be able to hold on. Noticing that the cultivators in the Piercing Wind City opened their array and charged out, those attacking foreign cultivators immediately turned and dashed towards them crazily. As the two sides clashed outside the Piercing Wind City, this place became an increasingly big battlefield in a short period of time. At this moment, there were endless number of cultivators coming out from the Piercing Wind City as well as the transfer array outside the Piercing Wind City. Chapter 360: The Massive War Outside the Piercing Wind City Chapter 360: The Massive War Outside the Piercing Wind City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After seeing more and more cultivators charging out, Xia Dandao suddenly shouted extremely loudly, "No charging out to death, didn¡¯t you all see the Earthly Immortal expert there? Charging out would simply lead to death¡­ I, as the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Wars Hall¡¯s Hall Master, order everyone to stay and protect the Piercing Wind City¡¯s defensive array. We cannot bury all our forces outside the Piercing Wind City because of a moment of recklessness." The charging cultivators stopped in their tracks as Xia Dandao was the hall master of Star King Mountain¡¯s first hall, Star Wars Hall as well as the Patriarch of Xia Clan, one of the three biggest clan in the Star King Mountain. The Star Wars Army was under his direct control and even the hall master of the fifth hall, Chu Fengyi, was in favour of the Xia Clan. Even without considering all these, Xia Dandao was probably the strongest man here. He could be considered to be the first Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8 expert in the Star King Mountain with the exception of the previous Star Lord Chi Tong and some elders. Previously when Su Xuan and Yan Ze hadn¡¯t rushed out, they could still argue with Xia Dandao. However, now that both of them had already charged out, who else dared to disobey Xia Dandao¡¯s orders? If one dared to disobey Xia Dandao¡¯s orders, he would die in Xia Dandao¡¯s hands even before he managed to charge out of the Piercing Wind City to fight with the foreign forces. However, not everyone was fearful of Xia Dandao because while the surrounding fell silent, a shadow darted out and stood in front of Xia Dandao, pointed and started shouting at him, "Xia Dandao you traitor, your collusion with the foreign forces for the personal interests of your Xia and Yan Clan was what led to the ultimate death of Star Lord Chi Tong outside the Universal Pier. And also because of your despicable assassination of Star Lord Wu¡­ And today, how dare you stop my hot blooded cultivators from Zhen Xing to defend Zhen Xing, and fight for the existence of Zhen Xing¡­" Those who really wanted to charge out to kill the foreign cultivators heard the reprimand and was secretly praising the person who was scolding Xia Dandao. Everyone knew this man as he was the Star King Mountain¡¯s defender, an impartial man filled with justice like the previous two Star Lord, a Worldly Immortal Stage expert whose heart beats for Zhen Xing, Xu Chihuang. However, before Xu Chihuang could finish speaking, beams of light radiance was locked on him and Xia Dandao even attacked with his knife. Xu Chihuang was originally in the Worldly Immortal Stage 1 and he was almost fully recovered from his broken arm a year ago. Presently, he was against a far superior Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8, Xia Dandao and a few other Worldly Immortal experts. He had almost no room to resist as he could barely shift his body but was still split into two by Xia Dandao. The crowd¡¯s hearts turned cold as they witnessed how a Zhen Xing¡¯s Worldly Immortal expert was killed just like that after stating a few statements. The sounds of killing outside was almost like a ridicule as compared to the scarily quiet periphery of the Piercing Wind City¡¯s transfer array. Xia Dandao stared at the crowd and said in a cold voice, "Currently, our Zhen Xing is facing such a major crisis and Xu Chihuang actually dare to frame a Star King Mountain¡¯s hall master for his own selfish interest. That¡¯s right, I know his intentions but if he was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, no, I would agree to let him be the Star Lord even if he was in even Level 3. However, his cultivation level was simply too low to be the Star Lord and with the crisis we are facing now, we must not take this as child¡¯s play." Xu Chihuang¡¯s objection of Xia Dandao¡¯s plan was actually manipulated by Xia Dandao into Xu Chihuang¡¯s wish to become the Star Lord. It was almost like pin drop silence inside the defensive array because other than the killing outside the Piercing Wind City¡¯s transfer array, nobody dared to say anything. Xia Dandao calmed himself down and said, "Zhen Xing is in grave danger after our Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Wu Lingzhi was assassinated. We must not lose control and charge out just like that. Other than being faster than the opponent, what use would it be for Zhen Xing? What we needed now isn¡¯t speed but the success in protecting Zhen Xing." "I, Chu Fengyi, represent the Star Flame Hall as we agree with Hall Master Xia. Hall Master Xia is not wrong because we must definitely not be reckless. I am as hot-blooded as Hall Master Yan and Hall Master Su but I don¡¯t agree with their methods. However, we can¡¯t blame them because now that we don¡¯t have a Star Lord, we don¡¯t have one common order. I recommend Star Wars Hall¡¯s Xia Dandao as the new Star Lord and those who agree with me can step out as we shouldn''t wait anymore because the longer we drag this, the higher possibility of us facing the threat of extermination." A tall purplish red hair man stood up and shouted. A lot of people recognised this man as Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Flame Hall¡¯s Hall Master Chu Fengyi, a fella who sticks around the Xia Clan like a dog. After Chu Fengyi finished his speech, a lot of people stood up immediately as they echoed to support Xia Dandao as the Star Lord. All these cheers and echoes were mostly from the Star Wars Army. A few sect heads and elders could only sigh to themselves because such a voting method was simply a joke. There weren¡¯t even representatives from all 10 halls and who dare to object in a place filled with his own supporters? The pity was that even the Yan Clan members weren¡¯t around. If Yan Pingzhi was around, he would definitely object Xia Clan. "I believe that we should plan for the long term in the case of selecting the next Star Lord. We should only vote when most of the hall masters and sect heads are around," A middle-aged man stood up and said humbly. Upon hearing this, there was a trace of killing intent in the corner of Xia Dandao¡¯s eyes. However, the killing intent dissipated when he saw who the person was. Gu Qiao, hall master of the Star King Mountain¡¯s 8th hall, Morning Star Hall. He was the Mou Clan¡¯s loyal advocate and was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5. Mou Clan controlled half of the Northern Star Army and with Gu Qiao¡¯s support, their strength would definitely not be weaker than the Yan Clan which was why he wouldn¡¯t dare to do what he did to Xu Chihuang to Gu Qiao. To put it bluntly, Xu Chihuang was only a defender so he was simply a lonely man after the death of the Star Lord. However, backing Gu Qiao was an even stronger cultivation army and the Mou Clan. "Hall Master Gu¡¯s words definitely make sense but this is the most crucial period for us. We cannot afford to be like how we were on a daily basis right? Hall Master Xia, I represent all cultivators from Zhen Xing to plead you to be the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Please consider for Zhen Xing and not let Zhen Xing get destroyed like that," Chu Fengyi completely disregarded Gu Qiao¡¯s suggestion. Majority of the sect heads and elders by the side heard and laughed in their heart, you, Chu Fengyi, represents all the cultivators in Zhen Xing? What sh*t rights do you have to represent us and we don¡¯t need you to represent us. However, nobody dared to step out to say anything in the face of Xia Dandao¡¯s strong aura. Gu Qiao heard this and knew it was trouble but Xia Dandao stood up before Gu Qiao could speak, "Since this was the case, I will temporary take up the position of the Star Lord and carry the responsibility of Zhen Xing¡¯s safety. After everyone gathered back together, I can strip myself of the Star Lord position anytime." Seeing how shameless Xia Dandao was, Gu Qiao knew he couldn¡¯t do anything to object anymore. The more he objected, the higher chance of going into a internal battle but the experts of his Mou Clan were not here yet. ¡­ "What is going on?" After realising that there were not that many people around him to resist the opposition, Yan Ze was dumbfounded. Su Xuan realised the situation and said, "We were too careless because we shouldn¡¯t have charged out at the same time. If I am not wrong, this ignorant man, Xia Dandao, should have controlled the entire Piercing Wind City and not let any of the cultivator army out. He had long coveted for the throne so he could have already assigned himself to be the Star Lord." Looking at the stationary Earthly Immortal expert, Yan Ze suddenly laughed out loud, "Since this is the case, let me, Yan Ze, leave my blood flowing outside this Piercing Wind City and fight hard for Zhen Xing once more." "The fact that I, Su Xuan, could fight alongside a warrior like Hall Master Yan against the foreign forces is a great honour in my life," Su Xuan was also clear of her current situation because even though the numbers on her side was not too short, the other party had an Earthly Immortal expert who haven¡¯t made his move yet. Other than this, there were even more incoming foreign forces landing on the battlefield from the transfer array. One could imagine that the number of cultivators on the Piercing Wind City¡¯s side would get significantly lesser. This was truly devastating to fight at your own backyard but having an decreasing number of allies against an increasing number of enemies. Concurrently, almost everyone noticed that the transfer array suddenly stopped sending people over to the periphery of the Piercing Wind City. This was to say that both sides lost their support of reinforcements. After confirming this fact, Su Xuan was elated as she instantly shouted, "All the Worldly Immortal Stage experts of my Zhen Xing come close to Hall Master Yan and myself to take orders from me. The rest of the army, go and kill¡­" Without Su Xuan¡¯s reminder, all the Worldly Immortal Stage experts were already gathering closer to them because there was still an Earthly Immortal Stage expert who hadn¡¯t made his move. To deal with this Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert, all the Worldly Immortal Stage experts must surround him before attacking together. Even though the opposition had large numbers, it was still not a large as the numbers that came out of the Piercing Wind City. Furthermore, there were a total of nine Worldly Immortal Stage experts that was on the cultivator army side while the opposition only had an Earthly Immortal and a Bao Lie who were the slightly stronger ones. When comparing in this manner, the Zhen Xing cultivators were not exactly at a disadvantage. As for the foreign cultivator side, Bao Lie and that Earthly Immortal Stage expert didn¡¯t move because they didn¡¯t feel the need to as they were confident many more Class 8 beasts and Worldly Immortal Stage experts would join them soon. However, as things stand, the transfer array suddenly stopped transferring. "Bao Lie, guard the array while I take a look at what happened in the Universal Hall," The Earthly Immortal Stage expert said coldly. "Alright," Bao Lie knew that something must have went wrong in the Universal Hall because under his lead, Sid would definitely bring people through the transfer array into Zhen Xing. It was simply a disaster now that the transfer array had stopped transferring. Chapter 361: Ambushing An Earthly Immortal Chapter 361: Ambushing An Earthly Immortal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In the Universal Plaza outside of Universal Hall, it was a landscape of icy whiteness. Even though this cannon had already been fired by Mo Wuji, he could still feel the intense cold. The dense crowds of beasts and Gu Nuo soldiers which once filled the plaza, were now shreds of ice. There were no signs of life, even on the path from Universal Hall to this plaza. A few that just raced out of the Universal Hall to gather at the Universal Plaza were still shocked by the numbing cold. However, Mo Wuji did not give them a chance; boundless lightning rain descended upon them. The rallying power of Commander Sid was truly impressive; after Chanse announced the order, almost all of the cultivators from the various corners of Universal Hall rushed towards Universal Plaza. The only problem was that some at the further corners of the Universal Hall weren''t able to arrive at Universal Plaza in time. Still, by the time Mo Wuji fired the extreme ice cannon, the slowest cultivator had already reached the first floor entrance of Universal Hall. Mo Wuji had no intentions to leave any of these foreign invaders alive, and he was also in need of space contribution points, so he did not hold back as he conjured huge clouds of lightning rain. After an incense''s time, except for those foreign invaders that already took the transfer array into Zhen Xing, the rest of them were slaughtered clean by Mo Wuji alone. At this instant, Chanse, Solitary Red Knot and co. all walked out. As they stood at the entrance of Universal Hall, their eyes caught the scene of black charred corpses, then the frozen solid Universal Plaza. They all turned silent. When faced with such methods that one would be completely helpless against, even though they were on the same side as Mo Wuji, they could not help but feel horrified. Everyone was thinking: If I had been attacked by this ice cannon, would I have simply added onto the shreds of ice on the floor? This was the second time Chanse saw this situation, but he still could not shake the terror in his heart. His master was truly too terrifying, to actually possess this kind of devastating cannon. Mo Wuji did not keep his giant cannon, but stood from a distance and scanned through the Universal Plaza with his spiritual will. There were many cultivators here that were much stronger than him, so he had to be careful. He even heard Chanse say that an Earthly Immortal from Gu Nuo was here, so he could not show even half a bit of carelessness. Mo Wuji primarily focused his spiritual will on the transfer array on Universal Plaza. When he fired the cannon, he specially avoided this array as he was afraid that he might destroy this array. After all, when he cleaned up all these scum here, he still needed to use this array to go to Zhen Xing. If he destroyed it, he wouldn''t be capable of preparing another array to go to Zhen Xing. But the extreme ice cannon was truly too destructive; he could not guarantee that the transfer array would not be destroyed. Universal Plaza was filled with ice dregs. Further from the epicenter of the blast, there will still some barely complete corpses. Following Mo Wuji''s sweep with his spiritual will, all these corpses disintegrated into shreds with a cracking sound. The foundations of the transfer array were still there; it''s just that some of the array flags were basically turned to dust under the blast of Mo Wuji''s extreme ice cannon. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief; as long as the foundations of the transfer array were still present, he could still mend it and use it to enter Zhen Xing. Mo Wuji kept the extreme ice cannon, then walked towards Universal Plaza. Chanse saw this and hurried to walk over too. Solitary Red Knot and her fellows also followed over. As they approached the Universal Plaza, the few of them were increasingly stupefied by what lay before their eyes. The extreme cold had yet to disperse, and even Solitary Red Knot, who was at True God Stage Level 6, felt biting chills. Most of the foreign invaders were disintegrated into nothingness. Only at the periphery, were there mountains of ice shreds. "Brother Mo, this cannon is simply¡­" Standing by Solitary Red Knot''s side, True God Stage Level 9 Hong Hua muttered with a trembling voice. When he thought of how Mo Wuji could use this huge cannon against Zhen Xing, it could perhaps be possible for one person to destroy all the cultivators on Zhen Xing. "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji''s face suddenly turned serious, extending his hand to stop Hong Hua from continuing. His gaze stared deadly towards the foundations of the transfer array. The transfer array foundations were completely undamaged, but the array flags around it were destroyed by his extreme ice cannon. Supposedly, the transfer array needed to be repaired by him before it could be used. However, what was happening now was that the transfer array foundation was glowing with flashing white light, as though something was being transported over. "Someone''s transferring over, it''s definitely Gansius..." Chanse suddenly uttered with a trembling voice. His body was the same as his voice; constantly shaking. Clearly, his heart was filled with terror. Mo Wuji waved his hand; Tian Ji Pole appeared within his palm. He coldly said, "Explain properly, who is Gansius?" Chanse seemed to be reminded that Mo Wuji was his true master, and if Mo Wuji wished for it, Mo Wuji could disperse his soul and destroy his body. Since it was like that, he didn''t even have the chance to be afraid of Gansius; he managed to calm himself down and said, "Young master, Gansius is an expert at Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1. Moreover, he is also a top class array master. The array flags around the foundation had been destroyed, but he¡¯s definitely able to use the transfer array and come over. The reason why he hadn''t immediately appeared, is because he is using his elemental energy to forge array flags¡­" Indeed, Mo Wuji discovered that there were faint elemental energy flags around the perimeter of the array. He was proficient with the array dao, so he immediately knew that Chanse wasn''t lying to him, but was speaking the truth. "Brother Mo, Star King Mountain''s Star Lord Chi Tong was ambushed by this Gansius. If Star Lord Chi Tong was still alive, Universal Hall definitely wouldn''t have been lost," Zhang Tiancheng clenched his fists and said. Clearly, he was a loyal follower of Star Lord Chi Tong, and when he heard that Gansius was coming over, his heart could not restrain his rage. "Young master, hurry and destroy these elemental energy flags. Otherwise, Gansius is really going to appear from this transfer array¡­" Seeing that Mo Wuji was not doing anything, Chanse was incredibly anxious. Mo Wuji snorted, "Why do I have to destroy it? I will be right here to welcome him." Chanse was even more anxious as he said, "There''s no way we can ambush him. Gansius is knowledgeable on the Dao of Space. When he used space to construct these array flags, he already knew that something had definitely gone wrong here. He definitely wouldn''t be ambushed." "Everyone hide to the side. Wait till my ambush succeed, then take action immediately afterwards." Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered about Chanse''s words. He gave his instructions, and immediately brought his Tian Ji Pole to hide at a corner of the transfer array. Supposedly, the safest method was to immediately install the extreme ice cannon, and give this Gansius a one time good blast when he appeared. But this idea was immediately rejected by Mo Wuji. One, installing the extreme ice cannon required time; by the time he was done, Gansius might have already come out. Two, even if he managed to install the cannon before Gansius emerged, he could not guarantee that he would definitely hit Gansius. After all, Gansius knew that an unforeseen situation had happened here. Once he emerged, he would definitely use an escape technique; he would not foolishly stand there and wait to get shot. As for Chanse''s idea of destroying the condensed elemental energy array flags, it was actually an even more foolish idea. He had only occupied the Universal Hall for a short period of time. If he was gone for a long time without the support from Zhen Xing, then if these foreign invaders sent reinforcements, they definitely wouldn''t be able to hold the fort with the small group of them. As for his cannon ammunition, one ammo used was one ammo gone. They were things which he needed to conserve. Not only couldn''t he destroy Gansius¡¯s elemental energy flags, he couldn¡¯t even do anything to the foundations of the transfer array. So this safest plan, in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, wasn¡¯t safe at all. As long as Gansius rushed out of the transfer array, they were screwed. He could fight a Worldly Immortal, but it did not mean that he could deal with an Earthly Immortal. Thus, Mo Wuji finally chose to ambush. According to Chanse¡¯s logic, ambushing Gansius was close to impossible. But Mo Wuji was not like other people; he had the number one ambush technique: Next Pole. Regardless of what direction Gansius races towards, Mo Wuji would have a pole attack ready. More importantly, Mo Wuji was also knowledgeable on arrays, so he could, at first notice, determine when and where Gansius would appear. "Brother Mo, you¡¯re really doing an ambush?" Solitary Red Knot was a little worried. Ambushing an Earthly Immortal was a complete different concept from ambushing a Worldly Immortal. Mo Wuji nodded, "That fella is coming out soon. This person plotted against Chi Tong, and Chi Tong did contribute towards Zhen Xing, so take it that I¡¯m helping Chi Tong take revenge." Solitary Red Knot nodded, and didn¡¯t add anything further. He knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s decision was firm, and anything he said would be useless. Thus, he simply picked a spot, and prepared to help Mo Wuji fight at any moment. In a few breaths time, that glowing white light suddenly illuminated with increased intensity, and a silhouette seemed to appear within it. Solitary Red Knot and co.¡¯s hearts were pounding so hard, they were almost pumped up to their throats. What worried them the most was that Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t unleash any attack. Even though Mo Wuji instructed that the others should only attack after he did so, Zhang Tiancheng, could not hold it any further, striking out with his golden spade. Almost at the same instant, Mo Wuji attacked. The only difference was that Mo Wuji¡¯s attack was aimed at the foundations of the transfer array, while Zhang Tiancheng¡¯s attack was at least a few meters away. Clearly, one of the made the wrong judgement. Almost at this instant, everyone could feel a huge force oppressing them; it felt like space had suddenly shrunk and solidified. "Ah¡­" A hoarse and aggrieved cry could be heard. Now, there was only a mist of blood at where Zhang Tiancheng once stood. Chapter 362: Universal Board’s Ranking Chapter 362: Universal Board¡¯s Ranking Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Boom!" The silence broken by his Tian Ji Pole brought joy to Mo Wuji¡¯s heart; he knew that his judgement was right; his ambush had succeeded. Even though his Tian Ji Pole met with the strong defense from a protective layer of elemental energy, under his strong strike, he still tore through his opponent¡¯s elemental energy shield. Mo Wuji immediately followed up with a lightning sword, then his entire figure disappeared from his original location. "Pui!" A spurt of blood could seen from the white glowing foundations. At the same time, Solitary Red Knot and co. saw that Mo Wuji¡¯s body had been ripped into bits. "Ah!" A hoarse and enraged roar could be heard. A middle-built man in linen robes raced out of the transfer array. This linen robed man¡¯s entire face was bloodied, he had the expression of a savage that seemed to want to destroy and devour everything around him. That infuriated roar, came from him. What shocked Solitary Red Knot and her fellows the most was that this linen robed man actually had an indent in his skull, clearly struck by a pole. This pole seemed to strike right in the middle of this linen robed man¡¯s forehead, aiming to smash him in half. But this linen robed man¡¯s skull was pretty hard as it actually managed to sustain a blow right to his forehead. Moreover, there was even a hole of blood on his waist; the blood hole was black and charred. Everyone knew, Mo Wuji¡¯s ambush had succeeded. Solitary Red Knot immediately recalled the scene of Mo Wuji¡¯s body being ripped, and he couldn¡¯t calm the agitation in his heart down. However, he suddenly heard Mo Wuji¡¯s solemn voice, "60 to 70% of the work is done, everyone join hands to finish him." Solitary Red Knot was ecstatic, and at the same time, he realised that what he saw being ripped was merely Mo Wuji¡¯s afterimage. At the same time, his heart was incomparably shocked. Mo Wuji¡¯s afterimage was torn apart while he was fine. What did that mean? Was this instantaneous teleportation? This sort of instantaneous teleportation, even an average Earthly Immortal might not be able to do it. It¡¯s said that the Space Wolf King¡¯s grandson, the White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince understood this sacred art. However, it had already been killed by Mo Wuji. Could Mo Wuji have obtained this sacred art from it? Solitary Red Knot¡¯s guess was rather accurate; Mo Wuji did obtain this sacred art from the White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince. Hong Hua and another True God Stage cultivator saw the linen robed man, and they immediately cried out in anger, "Everyone attack! Take revenge for Zhang Tiancheng!" Just now, Zhang Tiancheng didn¡¯t listen to Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions, and attacked beforehand. As a result, he was killed by Gansius. In reality, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart had some lingering fears. He knew that an Earthly Immortal was strong, but he didn¡¯t know that he would be strong to such an extent. If he did not use his teleportation, but used his Wind Escape Technique instead, he would not have escaped with his complete body. "You¡¯re the one who ambushed me." The linen robed man¡¯s eyes landed on Mo Wuji. "You even know the sacred art of teleportation?" In just a short time, the previous rage and viciousness in his eyes disappeared; it was gradually replaced with an expression of confusion. He felt that Mo Wuji looked a little familiar, but his brain had been shocked by Mo Wuji¡¯s pole, so he could not immediately recall it. Moreover, he even felt like his memories were rapidly slipping away. He faintly remembered that he had been ambushed and he immediately killed those that ambushed him. Thereafter, he discovered that there were more than one attack, so he used his elemental energy to form a shield to defend against the second attack. That¡¯s not right ah, I should have eliminated both of the people who ambushed me. Mo Wuji gripped his Tian Ji Pole tightly, alertly staring at this linen robed man, "Not only did I ambush you, I killed one to two million space beasts and your Gu Nuo cavalry men. Look at all the ice dregs around you, all these are the shreds of your Gu Nuo soldiers." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was not as calm as his face. This was his first time encountering a fella that faced his pole and his lightning sword but actually didn¡¯t die. An Earthly Immortal was actually that strong? "Where is Gu Nuo? Who are you? Why are you standing in front of me?" The linen robed man seemed to forget the question that he asked previously, and he even seemed to forget that he was questioning himself whether Mo Wuji was the one who ambushed him. "Gu Nuo Star¡¯s people are the ones who ambushed you. You want to go to Gu Nuo, I can bring you there," Mo Wuji could tell that this fella¡¯s brain had really gone haywire, and his primordial spirit was even dispersing. He couldn¡¯t recall anything. Even the words that he had just said, was probably already forgotten. "Quick, lead the way. They actually dare to ambush me," The linen robed man said in anger. Mo Wuji promptly gave Solitary Red Knot and co. knowing glances, then swiftly headed towards Universal Hall. "He, he is Gansius¡­" Even though Chanse was the one with the highest cultivation here, he was also the one who was most afraid of Gansius. Even though Gansius was currently being led by Mo Wuji, Chanse¡¯s voice was still shaking. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s lead, Gansius was brought into Universal Pier, then towards the third floor. From the third floor of Universal Pier, he entered into the space, and disappeared. Positioned at the spatial gate, Shi Lu stared at Gansius, who¡¯s head had been dented in, with a blank expression. After some time, he asked in astonishment, "Brother Mo, who was that person?" By this time, Solitary Red Knot and co. had already run over. Hearing Shi Lu¡¯s question, Solitary Red Knot answered, "That person is Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s Earthly Immortal expert, Gansius. He had been ambushed by Brother Mo, screwing up his brain. Now, he can¡¯t even remember who he is." Mo Wuji also heaved a sigh of relief; Gansius¡¯s departure could be considered the best thing that happened. Even if Gansius eventually recovered his memories, Mo Wuji should already have advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage. When he became a Worldly Immortal, he definitely didn¡¯t need to fear Gansius. "Even though he had been ambushed by me, he still had a good half of his power. Even if we joined hands, we might not necessarily kill him. And even if we did kill him, we would definitely suffer heavy losses. That¡¯s why, I let him go," Mo Wuji explained. "Brother Mo, what do we do now?" Seeing that Mo Wuji had even succeeded in an ambush against an Earthly Immortal, and even killed more than a million foreign invaders, everyone here took Mo Wuji as the leader. "Wait till I close the spatial gate," With that, Mo Wuji¡¯s boundless spiritual will swept outwards. Previously, he was worried that there might be too many of these foreign invaders, and he might not be able to kill all of them by himself, thus, he didn¡¯t close the spatial gate. After all, if he wasn¡¯t able to continue fighting, he could use this spatial gate at Universal Pier to escape into space. But now, victory was basically secured. Closing the spatial gate would not be too much of an influence. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was extremely strong. In a matter of minutes, he was able to find the spatial gate¡¯s grand sealing array at the basement of Universal Pier. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to prepare such an array, but he was able to initiate the array to seal the spatial gate. ¡­ After an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji had activated the Universal Pier¡¯s grand sealing array. The party now consisted of over 30 people, and they gathered back at Universal Plaza. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to look at the universal token hung at his waist. He could see his own name on the Universal Plaza¡¯s Universal Board. "Brother Mo, you¡¯re already at Rank 2 of the Universal Board," Shi Lu¡¯s voice was filled with reverence and respect. Not just Shi Lu, almost everyone here looked at Mo Wuji with a lot of admiration. Even though there was still a name above him, he was still Rank 2nd on the Universal Board. How impressive was that? One must know, that anyone in the top 1000 of the rankings, and appeared in the main Universal Board, was a figure of legends. Anyone of the people in the top 1000 were existences that they could only look up to. But now, they were actually standing abreast the Universal Board¡¯s Rank 2, and even worked together to reclaim the Universal Hall. Even though it might be an exaggeration to say that they ¡®worked together¡¯, it was true that they were together with Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji grabbed his universal token, "Mo Wuji, Space Contribution Points: 3,177,440; Rank: 2". Just one more name from the top. Exactly how many contribution points did the Rank 1 have? Who knows? Just as Mo Wuji was wondering who was the Universal Board¡¯s Rank 1, Solitary Red Knot suddenly said, "Universal Board¡¯s Rank 1 is a man called Bian Shuangbi. It¡¯s said that he is an Earthly Immortal Expert. He has occupied the number 1 spot for hundreds of years already. The number of people in Zhen Mo Continent who have met him is very little. Perhaps only a few Worldly Immortal experts have seen him." "Where did he go?" Mo Wuji asked subconsciously. Universal Board¡¯s Rank 1 was something that Mo Wuji needed to achieve. Hence, his focus on the current number 1. He had already obtained over three million contribution points, but he was still second place. If the first and second place were too far apart, then if he wanted to reach the pinnacle of the Universal Board, he needed to personally make a trip to the den of the space beasts. Solitary Red Knot shook his head, "No one knows. This senior had left Zhen Xing hundreds of years ago. Actually, most of the cultivators that cultivated to the intermediate stages of the Earthly Immortal Stage chose to leave Zhen Xing." By the side, Chanse interjected and said, "Actually, this is the same for Gu Nuo Star. After reaching a certain level, many of the Earthly Immortal experts chose to leave and search for a higher realm within the vast universe. Cases like the Space Wolf King that have already reached the Great Circle of Class 9 and still choosing not to leave are extremely rare." Mo Wuji nodded, "I will first repair the transfer array, then send someone over to send a message to Zhen Xing. Repairing the transfer array was one thing. Mo Wuji was also going to control the transfer array. He definitely wasn¡¯t going to let this place fall back into the hands of the Star King Mountain¡¯s three clans. ¡­ In a narrow canyon more than billions of miles away from Zhen Xing, many cultivators that looked like beggars were sitting on an earthern plate that was not even 1 meter long. The spiritual energy around them was close to zero. "Eh!" In a corner in the canyon, a surprised cry could be heard. Perhaps things had been silent for far too long. This cry of surprise immediately awoke everyone in this narrow canyon. Everyone¡¯s eyes landed on a thin, long-bearded man who was sitting near the entrance. "Mu Yingqiao, what happened?" A voice asked. Perhaps it was because it hadn¡¯t been used for a long time, the voice was not only hoarse, but also a little desolate. The thin, long-bearded man grabbed a token and said, "My universal token had been Rank 2 for hundreds of years. Today, it actually became Rank 3. Did a hero actually suddenly appear in Zhen Xing? To actually push me down one spot? Sigh, I really want to go back and take a look ah¡­" Initially, the voice was tinged with astonishment. But as it reached the last sentence, it was completely filled with melancholy and unwillingness. Chapter 363: A Complete Wipeout Chapter 363: A Complete Wipeout Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This new guy probably wants the number one spot on the Universal Board. But when he finds out that even if his contribution points get doubled and that he still wouldn¡¯t get that spot, perhaps he might turn as dumb as a wooden chicken. Hehe¡­" Another voice said. The long bearded man called Mu Yingqiao also gathered up his emotions and chuckled, "He should be the same as me those years ago. I was bent on getting the number one spot on the Universal Board, but no matter how my contribution points increased, I was completely unable to reach the top. I immediately knew that something was not right. It was only until I met that freak Bian Shuangbi that I knew that this number one spot would never be related to me. However, this new guy could surpass me and get the number two spot, that¡¯s already very impressive. I¡¯m sure that there definitely was a huge war somewhere in space, or perhaps the Half Moon Immortal Palace emerged again." "I do hope that he can surpass me. As long as he surpasses me, he would definitely be able to find this place." A man sitted at a relatively higher position continued after Mu Yingqiao. Perhaps they had been trapped here for an immensely long time; most of the cultivators looked like they had been aged with the vicissitudes of time. This man, however, did not reveal the scars of time. He had sharp brows and starry eyes, giving him a stoic look. He looked like he was merely a youth. Everyone here knew who he was: Bian Shuangbi, Zhen Xing¡¯s number one man in looks. Not only that, he was also the number one on the Universal Board, and an expert at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. "Brother Bian, if he comes, he would only be another sorrowful soul. It would not be useful to us, and Zhen Xing," Mu Yingqiao said. "That may not be the case," Bian Shuangbi said gently. "If this person is able to surpass me on the Universal Board, it means that he is stronger than me. I¡¯ve been trapped here for hundreds of years and I could never get out. But if he comes, perhaps he might find a way out." The crowd instantly went silent. Even though they knew that the probability of Bian Shuangbi¡¯s words becoming true was infinitesimally close to zero, they still hugged onto that bit of hope. Staying here to rot and die, everyone here had enough of that feeling. ¡­ Outside Piercing Wind City. Bao Lie¡¯s expression was turning increasingly anxious. Logically, Gansius would only take half an incense¡¯s of time for his check on Universal Hall. However, a whole half an hour had passed but there was still no news from Gansius. No more foreign reinforcements were coming from Universal Hall, an Earthly Immortal had gone over with no news in return, Su Xuan knew that there was truly an unforeseen situation at Universal Hall. She immediately called out loud, "An Earthly Immortal expert of my Zhen Xing has killed his way back; Universal Hall must definitely be reclaimed by this Earthly Immortal expert. We must not let even a single one of these foreign invaders go¡­" Being able to enter the cultivator army, and even being able to hold the front at Piercing Wind City, none of the people here were weaklings. Even if Su Xuan didn¡¯t mention it, they could faintly feel that something was amiss. Now that Su Xuan had announced that an Earthly Immortal expert had returned, everyone roared with rainbow-rising momentum. Previously, when Gansius left, the Zhen Xing cultivators already started to oppress the foreign invaders. Now, their oppression was even stronger. Even though Bao Lie was at the peak of Class 8, under the encirclement of Su Xuan and other Worldly Immortal experts, he was unable to support the rest of the battle. "Everyone, retreat." Bao Lie knew the peril of the current situation, and directly gave out the order to retreat. In between Universal Hall and Zhen Xing, there were only Piercing Wind City and the immediate areas around Piercing Wind City. Moreover, these immediate areas were laden with trap arrays. Thus, even though Bao Lie had issued out retreat orders he could only temporarily break apart from the Zhen Xing cultivator armies. Originally, there were tens of thousands of foreign troops sent to Piercing Wind City, but in this short period of time, the number dropped to the thousands. "Universal Hall must definitely be occupied by one of our Zhen Xing''s senior expert. Everyone in Zhen Xing, listen to my call. Massacre these foreign invaders. Our Zhen Xing will never allow these animals to step foot into it," Su Xuan did not immediately pursue the invaders, but used Bao Lie''s retreat as an opportunity to raise the morale. As long as that transfer array didn''t continue to send foreign reinforcements over, Bao Lie and his thousands of men weren''t enough to fight them. "Hall Master Su, Hall Master Yan, let¡¯s not talk about what happened to the Universal Hall now. I hope that you will let me retreat temporarily. Of course, now that Zhen Xing had the upperhand in this war, so what if you slaughtered everyone of us now? Wouldn¡¯t it just deepened the our animosity between us?" When Bao Lie used such a tone to speak, even he, himself, found it weird. But Bao Lie knew he had no other choice. If he didn''t persuade the Zhen Xing cultivators to stop, his entire army would be routed. "Hall Master Su, you should know how we managed to occupy Universal Hall. If not for the Wolf King, we would never have been able to charge in. The reason why the Wolf King isn''t with us now, is not because he is unable to, but because he doesn''t wish to bully the weak. Think about it, if the Wolf King was here, would Piercing Wind City be able to hold us? If you kill me now, and kill everyone here, I believe that the Wolf King would definitely slaughter the entire Zhen Xing. Not even an ant will be spared." When Bao Lie finished, he stared calmly at Su Xuan and co. Even he was confident of his own words, because the Wolf King definitely could do that. Su Xuan was momentarily startled. She was very clear about Chi Tong''s previous apprehensions with killing Bao Lie, it was exactly because he was afraid of angering the Space Wolf King. Now, Bao Lie was using the Space Wolf King to threaten her. So should she kill him, or not? "Haha¡­ Bao Lie, you''re truly shameless. Let me honestly tell you, Universal Hall has already been occupied by Star Lord Mo. The millions of foreign invaders in Universal Hall, have already been turned into vengeful ghosts under the Star Lord''s hands," A sudden voice resounded through the void. Following which, Shi Lu¡¯s figure emerged from the transfer array and descended into Piercing Wind City. Star Lord Mo? Be it Su Xuan, or Yan Ze, or any of the Zhen Xing cultivators, all looked at Shi Lu with an expression of confusion. Even though many of the people there recognised Shi Lu as a True God Stage cultivator from Zhen Xing, they still found his words to be too ridiculous. Who the hell was this Star Lord Mo? And he even claimed that he killed the millions of foreign invaders in Universal Hall? Who did he think he was? Even if he was at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage, it still shouldn''t be possible right? "You want to know why there aren''t any more foreign invaders coming from the transfer array? Because they have all been slaughtered by Star Lord Mo. Also, you want to know where that Earthly Immortal called Gansius went? He was also killed by Star Lord Mo," Every word that came out of Shi Lu''s mouth sent chills into Bao Lie''s heart. No one knew Gansius''s name, except for a small group of commanders and him. Now, this Zhen Xing cultivator actually revealed Gansius¡¯s real name, and was even saying that Gansius had been killed by Star Lord Mo. Could this be true? Gansius was truly ambushed by Mo Wuji. However, he was not killed. His brain had merely been damaged and he was sent out of Universal Hall. "This person is called Shi Lu, he is a cultivator at the intermediate stage of True God Stage. He was a registered rogue cultivator for the Star Wars. He is indeed a man from Zhen Xing, and I am certain that he wouldn¡¯t betray Zhen Xing and join the foreign invaders," A True God Stage cultivator whispered and explained to Su Xuan. Su Xuan nodded, then asked in a clear voice, "Are you Dao Friend Shi Lu?" Su Xuan did not recognise Shi Lu, but Shi Lu recognised Su Xuan and Yan Ze. He immediately walked over, clasping his fists as he said, "Shi Lu greets Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan." "Dao Friend Shi, what did you mean by Star Lord Mo? And what exactly happened in Universal Hall?" Su Xuan was very polite as she asked. Shi Lu hurriedly said, "Star Lord Mo is Mo Wuji, the one designated as the next Star Lord by Star Lord Chi Tong before he died. Star Lord Mo has already returned from space, and has already stepped into the Worldly Immortal Stage. He demonstrated his supreme powers, killing millions of the foreign invaders, then he ambushed and killed Earthly Immortal Gansius at the transfer array¡­" "Mo Wuji?" Su Xuan asked in shock. She had seen Mo Wuji before. Back when she saw Mo Wuji before the Half Moon Immortal Palace, he was only at the elementary True God Stage. How many years had it been? To actually advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage, there was really no other person with a talent as monstrous as him in the entire Zhen Mo Continent ah. However, she didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji was still far from the Worldly Immortal Stage. It was just that Mo Wuji appeared too strong in front of Shi Lu, and Shi Lu thought that Mo Wuji had already become a Worldly Immortal. "It¡¯s really him." Shi Lu said resolutely. Su Xuan exhaled a breath of cold air, then she calmed down and said, "Dao Friend Shi, please explain what happened detailedly. Even if Dao Friend Mo had advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage, he shouldn¡¯t be able to kill millions of cultivators, right?" Even if she believed that Mo Wuji could successfully ambush an Earthly Immortal, she definitely couldn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji had killed millions of foreign invaders. With his fastest speed, Shi Lu narrated the story of how Mo Wuji used the huge cannon to easily destroy millions of foreign invaders. "So it¡¯s a huge cannon. No wonder¡­" Su Xuan muttered to herself, then she suddenly said in a clear voice, "We¡¯ll massacre all these foreign invaders, then go take a look at Universal Hall. If Dao Friend Mo really managed to wrest back Universal Hall, then he should naturally be our Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord." Su Xuan firmed her heart. The Space Wolf King was coming; no matter how scared she was, he would still come. Star Lord Chi Tong was a lesson to take warning from. Since that¡¯s the case, why not kill till they¡¯re happy? "Kill¡­" Under Su Xuan¡¯s order, the killing intent of the Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators surged to the heavens; their morale swelled extensively. As for the remaining thousands of foreign invaders, panic filled their hearts. All of them wanted to run for their lives. "Bao Lie has escaped¡­" Suddenly someone called out. Everyone saw Bao Lie racing towards the transfer array, seemingly escaping back to Universal Hall. Now that Bao Lie was gone, the remaining foreign invaders were petrified. At speeds visible to the eye, they were cut down by Zhen Xing cultivators. ¡­ Mo Wuji had just installed the array flags on the transfer array, and had yet to use his methods to control the array. Suddenly, a white light shone from the transfer array. Even though he didn¡¯t know whether the person coming over was a friend or foe, Mo Wuji just struck out with his lightning sword. If it was a friend, then he would just offer some healing pills. If it was a foe, then of course he had to do an ambush. "Pui!" A fog of blood burst out. Bao Lie¡¯s staggering figure appeared. Mo Wuji knew that he was lucky that he had prepared an ambush. This fella was a peak Class 8 space beast; his power was just below that Gansius. "So it¡¯s really you. Die!" When Bao Lie saw Mo Wuji, his killing intent instantly spilled in all directions as he pounced over. Even though Mo Wuji had already advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage, he was not afraid. He, Bao Lie, was not a good for nothing like that White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince. Chapter 364: The Battle Against Bao Lie Chapter 364: The Battle Against Bao Lie Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Bao Lie charged over. Mo Wuji raised his hands and flashed out with multiple lightning swords. Thereafter, he swung out boundless pole with his Tian Ji Pole. "Boom!" Bouts of elemental energy exploded; among the explosions, were streaks of lightning from the dissipated lightning swords. After Bao Lie¡¯s magic treasure smashed apart Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning swords, it actually stopped right in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s figure. Then, the magic treasure unfurled. A pitch black chilly energy filled flooded the entire Universal Plaza. From afar, Solitary Red Knot and co. could clearly see that Bao Lie¡¯s spiritual equipment was actually a soul flag. It was extremely rare for demonic beasts to use soul flags. There¡¯s no need to mention demonic beasts, even among cultivators in Zhen Mo Continent, except for those evil cultivators that lurk in the corners, very few would use soul flags. It wasn¡¯t because soul flags were useless; but because people who used soul flags were treated as public enemies. The greatest thing about the soul flag was it¡¯s ability to evolve; the source of this evolution came from the accumulation of the elemental energy of souls. The more cultivators killed, the more souls the soul flag would refine. In turn, the grade of the soul flag would increase and it would be more powerful. Bao Lie¡¯s soul flag had unleashed an entire area of blackness. Clearly, the number of refined souls within already numbered in the millions. Under Bao Lie¡¯s soul flag domain, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and vision were filled with eerie darkness. Even though he didn¡¯t have a primordial spirit, he could feel his mind turning unstable, as though it might dissipate at any moment. This was a soul flag! Mo Wuji had already experienced a lot, and naturally he had heard of a soul flag. In terms of power, this soul flag was even more terrifying than his Next Pole. It might seem like it was complete darkness in front of him, but in reality, Bao Lie was hiding in the midst. The moment his primordial spirit dispersed, or even got slightly affected, Bao Lie would emerge from the cold darkness of this soul flag domain, and begin his attack. Mo Wuji¡¯s Nirvana Pole Shadow was continuously emitting the sound of explosions; this was caused by the clash between his elemental energy and the soul flag¡¯s elemental energy. Mo Wuji was very clear, even though his Nirvana Pole Shadow was very strong, and he did not have a primordial spirit, he still wouldn¡¯t last long under the banner of the soul flag. This filled Mo Wuji¡¯s heart with shock. All this happened after he had ambushed Bao Lie. If he didn¡¯t ambush Bao Lie, this battle would have been a lot harder. Yin energy permeated throughout the entire soul flag domain. At this instant, even Chanse did not casually enter and help out. Initially, they could still see Bao Lie. But now, the entire Universal Plaza had been transformed into a cold Yin world, enveloped by the soul flag. If anyone went over to help, they might be swept into Bao Lie¡¯s soul flag domain. If it was a Mo Wuji who couldn¡¯t condense a spiritual eye, the only thing he could do was to forcefully sunder this soul flag domain. A wave of spiritual energy concentrated in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead; a spiritual eye appeared. Even his spiritual will couldn¡¯t see through the depths of this Yin-filled soul flag domain. But now, it was as though a bright light had suddenly appeared. At this instant, Mo Wuji could clearly see that Bao Lie was lurking in a corner of the soul flag domain. Bao Lie¡¯s two hands had already transformed into meter-long iron claws as he eyed Mo Wuji intently. In Bao Lie¡¯s eyes, there was a hint of doubt, seemingly doubting why Mo Wuji¡¯s primordial spirit had yet to appear. Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent surged; his Nirvana Pole Shadow suddenly disappeared, and at the next instant, his Tian Ji Pole also vanished without a trace. At almost the same instant Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole vanished, Bao Lie¡¯s figure flashed, his two claws aimed right towards Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. Bao Lie¡¯s rosy red tongue licked his murky black lips. Perhaps ripping Mo Wuji¡¯s Mind Palace apart might be simpler, but he had a trenchant for ripping out hearts. He liked the sound of fresh blood trickling down a heart. This to him, was even more delicious than the rich elemental energy on Space Wolf King¡¯s mountain. He also liked to see his opponent¡¯s eyes gradually reveal an expression of desperation. This to him, was a sense of accomplishment. Yet another shadow. Mo Wuji had disappeared from his previous location. "Pui!" A fog of blood burst forth. The back of Bao Lie¡¯s skull had been smashed into juice by the Tian Ji Pole. Bao Lie¡¯s whose skull had been smashed in didn¡¯t die immediately. Instead, he turned and fled. His heart was filled with panic; if he could rush out of Universal Pier in the shortest time possible, he would have some hope of surviving. Because his primordial spirit was still there; if his primordial spirit was still there, he could still find some treasure that could reform a fleshly body in this vast universe. At this instant, he didn¡¯t even question how Mo Wuji got so powerful, how Mo Wuji could accurately determine his position under his soul flag domain, and even how that pole could strike him without him knowing it. All these were secondary. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji did not intend on letting Bao Lie leave. There¡¯s no need to mention the fact that Bao Lie had been heavily injured, with only a primordial spirit. Even if Bao Lie was completely fine and uninjured, Mo Wuji still wouldn¡¯t have been afraid of him. A lightning sword flashed by. Primordial spirits were incredibly sensitive to lightning. So when Mo Wuji shot out the lightning sword, Bao Lie could immediately feel a sense of impending doom. "Mo Wuji, you can¡¯t kill me. If you kill me, the Space Wolf King wouldn¡¯t let you go," Bao Lie¡¯s primordial spirit roared with anger. Even Solitary Red Knot who was standing by the side could hear Bao Lie¡¯s desperation. Mo Wuji had even killed the White-Eyed Wolf Prince, so why wouldn¡¯t he dare kill Bao Lie? Mo Wuji sneered, "A mere Class 9 demonic beast, yet he dares call himself the Space Wolf King. Pui! You can only use this to scare Chi Tong. I, Mo Wuji, even dare to kill the White-Eyed Young Wolf Prince, why wouldn¡¯t I dare kill a Class 8 animal like you?" "Ka!" The lightning sword pierced through the primordial spirit, disintegrating Bao Lie¡¯s primordial spirit into nothingness. "So strong!" At almost the same instant Mo Wuji killed Bao Lie, Su Xuan and Yan Ze appeared from the transfer array. The two had witnessed the instant when Mo Wuji killed Bao Lie with his lightning sword, and also heard Mo Wuji¡¯s contempt towards the Space Wolf King. Mo Wuji waved his hand, directly sweeping Bao Lie¡¯s ring and corpse into his storage ring. Only after doing that, did he turn to face Su Xuan and Yan Ze. This two should be cultivators from Zhen Xing. If they were from the three great clans, Mo Wuji would not hesitate to send them rolling back to Zhen Xing. "May I ask if this is Star Lord Mo Wuji?" Su Xuan saw Mo Wuji¡¯s deadly glare and her heart was filled with apprehension. She had personally witnessed Mo Wuji slaughtering Bao Lie. One must know, that in a solo fight with Bao Lie, whether it was her or Star Wars Hall Master Xia Dandao, they could only avoid getting killed. However, this Mo Wuji in front of her could actually kill Bao Lie. This was absolutely shocking. If she had some suspicions of Shi Lu¡¯s words previously, they were now completely gone. Mo Wuji could sense that Su Xuan did not have any evil intentions, so he waved his hand and sent his Tian Ji Pole back into his ring. Then he said, "I¡¯m Mo Wuji, that¡¯s right. But I¡¯m not some Star Lord." Yan Ze also calmed down from his complete and utter surprise. Not only did he personally see Mo Wuji kill Bao Lie, he also saw the piles of ice dregs. He could see that these foreign cultivators were killed in extreme cold conditions, and they directly shattered into these dregs of ice. "Star Lord Mo, you are the Star Lord designated by Star Lord Chi Tong. Both Hall Master Su and I recognise this fact," Yan Ze who had just regained his countenance hurriedly said. "How are the two of you related to Star King Mountain¡¯s three great clans?" Mo Wuji asked bluntly. Hong Hua walked to Mo Wuji¡¯s side and whispered, "Brother Mo, Su Xuan is the hall master of Star Sea Hall; Yan Ze is the hall master of Star Dock Hall. These two are hall masters that wholeheartedly served Zhen Xing, just like Star Lord Chi Tong. They have no relations to the three great clans." Hearing Hong Hua¡¯s explanation, Mo Wuji nodded and his expression turned warm, "Star Sea Hall has a commander called Shu Xuanyu. I wonder whether Hall Master Su knows about her?" Previously, Shu Xuanyu wanted to rope him into Star Sea Hall, so Mo Wuji¡¯s memory of her was relatively clear. Su Xuan hurriedly said, "Xuanyu is currently the Four Star Commander of my Star Sea Army. She¡¯s now outside Piercing Wind City leading the Star Sea Army. Piercing Wind City is currently occupied by Xia Dandao, who forcefully claims himself to be the Star Lord. Defender Xu Chihuang was not willing to accept this fact, and he actually killed Defender Xu¡­" Mo Wuji did not interact much with Xu Chihuang, but he knew that Xu Chihuang was an upright man. Previously when the Half Moon Immortal Palace appeared, Xu Chihuang was even willing to fight with Bao Lie to protect him. From a certain angle, Xu Chihuang was more spirited than Chi Tong which was why Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of him was much better than Chi Tong. "You¡¯re saying that Defender Xu has been killed by Xia Dandao? Exactly what happened?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was filled with sharp killing intent. He had originally intended to eliminate the Xia Clan and Yan Clan. Now that the Xia Clan had even killed Xu Chihuang, he seriously wanted to charge into Zhen Xing and crush Xia Dandao¡¯s skull into meat juice. Yan Ze simply narrated the story of how Xu Chihuang got killed. Hong Hua and co. who listened to the story was filled with grievances. Mo Wuji never expected for Xia Dandao to be so shameless. It was enough that he didn¡¯t offer to help in the defense of Piercing Wind City. But he even stopped others from contributing to the defense. He even killed Xu Chihuang. Unless he killed this b*stard, the grievances in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart could not be quelled. "Hall Master Su, bring your army to protect the Universal Hall. I will go to Piercing Wind City to meet Xia Dandao," Mo Wuji said in a straightforward manner. "Yes, Star Lord," Su Xuan replied extremely obediently. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "I will not be the Star Lord of Star King Mountain. I have great enmity with the Xia Clan and Yan Clan. No matter what, I will take my revenge. After I¡¯m done with that, you can choose whoever you want to be the Star Lord. It has nothing to do with me." Su Xuan wanted to say something, but Yan Ze pulled her to the side, "Hall Master Su, wait till we snatch back Piercing Wind City. Then, we can discuss further." Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Yan Ze¡¯s words, Su Xuan nodded, and did not continue persuading Mo Wuji to take up the mantle as the Star Lord. ¡­ Outside Piercing Wind City, Mo Wuji was standing with Su Xuan and Yan Ze. With them, were 5,000 soldiers from Zhen Xing. The other Worldly Immortal experts and soldiers followed Shu Xuanyu to guard Universal Hall. The Universal Hall had just been wrested back, and there were far too many things which needed to be rebuilt. Mo Wuji naturally wouldn¡¯t do such things, so he left it for Su Xuan and her underlings. "All the Zhen Xing cultivators in Piercing Wind City, listen up, We have already recaptured Universal Hall, and even killed all of the foreign invaders. Immediately open the defensive array into Piercing Wind City and let us come in. Let us discuss the procedures on how to reconstruct Universal Hall," Su Xuan said clearly outside of Piercing Wind City. her elemental energy was brimming; her voice transmitted to the entire Piercing Wind City. Inside Piercing Wind City, Xia Dandao had an extremely ugly expression. He did not understand how Su Xuan and co. had not been killed, and they even returned and claimed that they had recaptured Universal Hall. He had yet to fully control Piercing Wind City. Wasn¡¯t their return too fast? He definitely couldn¡¯t let Su Xuan and co. enter the city. Chapter 365: The Fight To Be The Star Lord Chapter 365: The Fight To Be The Star Lord Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan must have definitely surrendered to the foreign invaders. Otherwise, how would they even survive under the hands on that Earthly Immortal? Star Lord, not only shouldn''t we open Piercing Wind City''s defensive arrays, we should initiate our killing array," Just as Xia Dandao was thinking about how to stop Su Xuan from entering Piercing Wind City, a True God Stage cultivator stood forward and exclaimed loudly. Xia Dandao celebrated inwardly; he liked this kind of subordinate that could help him at the key moments. "Bullsh*t!" A sudden voice resounded through the hall. It belonged to an old man who stood forward and pointed to that True God Stage cultivator, "Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan have been fighting for us outside of Piercing Wind with their blood, sweat and tears; all of us have personally seen it. At this moment, Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan have slaughtered the invading foreign scum. It''s already enough that you didn''t help, but you dare slander the heroes that spilled their bloods for us? Where does your allegiance lie? Could you have already surrendered to those foreign cultivators? Are you actually a spy? Yan Dandao¡¯s face turned black; he recognised the old man who stood forward. Chi Huo¡¯Er, Star Lord Chi Tong''s loyal dog; he could even be called Chi Tong''s shadow. Wherever Chi Tong went, he would also be there. Chi Huo¡¯Er had never revealed his abilities in front of anyone, but Xia Dandao guessed that his cultivation was at least at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5. This sort of power, was not something that he could casually kill off. Xu Chihuang was only at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1, and he was injured. Under Xu Chihuang''s incessant pressure, he decided to kill Xu Chihuang. But Chi Huo¡¯Er was no Xu Chihuang. If he killed Chi Huo¡¯Er, he would have to face very severe consequences. Before Xia Dandao could think of some countermeasures, he heard yet another person stand up and say, "Manager Chi is right. We all saw Hall Master Su Xuan and Hall Master Yan Ze defend Piercing Wind City against the foreign cultivators. If these heroes actually get slandered like so, then our Zhen Xing is thoroughly screwed." Even though Xia Dandao was the hall master of the number one hall, Star Wars Hall, and he even forcefully wrested the position of the Star Lord, his power was far from Chi Tong¡¯s. Even Wu Lingzhi held more power than him. Before he fully controlled Piercing Wind City, he could forget about trying to do as he wished. Previously, it was because no one stood up. But now that someone had stood up and spoke for Hall Master Su Xuan and Hall Master Yan Ze, there were immediately voices of affirmation. Indeed, following Chi Huo¡¯Er and this cultivator''s example, more cultivators stood forward. Eventually, they even formed a wave of protests, hollering for the opening of Piercing Wind City''s defensive arrays for Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan to enter. Xia Dandao knew that if he continued to suppress this matter, then things would get messy. There''s no need to talk about anything else; just the troops that Su Xuan and Yan Ze had gathered outside Piercing Wind City was enough to incite a huge war. In terms of combat abilities, he, Xia Dandao might not necessarily be able to win. Since things had already reached such a degree, he could only say, "Manager Chi was right. Just now, Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan were indeed pitting their lives to help defend Piercing Wind City. So with my authority as Star King Mountain''s Star Lord, I allow Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan to enter." An intense cheer broke out as the defensive arrays outside of Piercing Wind City were opened. As Su Xuan and Yan Ze entered Piercing Wind City, the cheers became more spirited and clamorous. There were already many from Star Sea Army and Star Dock Army in Piercing Wind City. Now that their hall masters had returned, these soldiers were emboldened. "Congratulations Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan for achieving victory in battle, and temporarily forcing the foreign invaders out of Piercing Wind City," Xia Dandao was the first to stand forward with a face full of smiles and clasped fists. Su Xuan squarely said, "Things could have been much simpler, but we didn''t have any help from Piercing Wind City. That almost caused Hall Master Yan and I, and many brave and hot-blooded cultivators of Zhen Xing to die wrongfully under the hands of the foreign invaders." When Su Xuan said these words, many of the cultivators in Piercing Wind City lowered their heads. They were also among those that cowered within Piercing Wind City. Xia Dandao¡¯s face did not reveal even a hint of embarrassment, he even had a with a severe countenance, "Hall Master Su is right; we''ve been too cautious. We were bent on protecting this gate to the rest of Zhen Xing, that''s why we chose to conserve Zhen Xing''s power. That''s why we didn''t think of betting our lives on this battle." Su Xuan and Yan Ze''s act of valor, when put in Xia Dandao''s mouth, had been contorted to a risky gamble. Su Xuan couldn''t be bothered to waste her words on Xia Dandao, but said in a clear voice, "All the cultivators of Zhen Xing. Today, I¡¯ve come with better news. That''s right, Universal Hall has been recaptured¡­" Even though Su Xuan had already mentioned this matter outside of Piercing Wind City, not many people believed her. After all there were millions of foreign troops. Not only that, there was even an Earthly Immortal expert, various Worldly Immortals and Class 8 beasts. If Universal Hall could be recaptured so easily, then they wouldn¡¯t need to hide in Piercing Wind City. "Hall Master Su, you cannot say such things so casually. Otherwise, it would affect the reputation of our Star King Mountain," Xia Dandao said sternly. Su Xuan did not respond to Xia Dandao, but continued, "I am not lying to everyone, because the person who recaptured Universal Hall is here. I believe that most of us are familiar with him, that''s right, he is the person that Star Lord Chi Tong designated as the next Star Lord, Star Lord Mo Wuji. Star Lord Wu had said it before, if Mo Wuji returns, he would immediately return the position of Star Lord back to Mo Wuji. Now, Star Lord Mo has returned, and he has even recaptured Universal Hall¡­" After Su Xuan said that Mo Wuji had recaptured Universal Hall, she didn''t see the excitement she expected. Instead, she incited waves of discussion. Because this matter was too sensational. Xia Dandao had long seen Mo Wuji. Even though he couldn''t wait to immediately rush over and cut Mo Wuji down, he knew that this wasn''t the time for him to act. After Su Xuan finished speaking, he stood up and said with a vicious tone, "Hall Master Su, some words cannot be casually thrown around. Not only is the peak Class 8 Bao Lie guarding Universal Hall, there''s also an Earthly Immortal expert. As for the average Worldly Immortals and ordinary Class 8 beasts, their numbers are even more staggering¡­" "Are you talking about him?" Mo Wuji had long wanted to settle scores with Xia Dandao, it''s busy that some things had to be done one step at a time. He still hadn''t reached that step. A corpse with a leopard head and a human body was thrown by Mo Wuji to the front of the crowd. Mo Wuji did not want to become Star Lord, but he needed to be the Star Lord. If he didn''t snatch the place of the Star Lord from Xia Dandao, he wouldn''t be able to kill Xia Dandao. Seeing this corpse, someone immediately cried out in astonishment, "That''s right, he is Bao Lie. I never thought that Bao Lie would actually be killed." Seeing that Bao Lie had been killed, Xia Dandao''s heart tightened. He knew that Bao Lie was much stronger than him. If Bao Lie had really been killed by Mo Wuji, that would mean that he wasn''t an opponent for Mo Wuji. His spiritual will subconsciously swept through Mo Wuji, but he wasn''t able to discern Mo Wuji''s cultivation. Mo Wuji was still like an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots. The more Mo Wuji was like that, the greater the panic in Xia Dandao''s heart. Standing by the side, Shi Lu suddenly brought out a crystal ball and said, "Everyone, look at the recording of how Star Lord Mo killed that Gu Nuo Star Tribe''s Earthly Immortal." The crystal ball had been activated; the scene of Mo Wuji''s pole slamming that Earthly Immortal''s skull, and Mo Wuji''s lightning sword piercing through that Earthly Immortal''s waist could be seen. Thereafter, the recording stopped. But Mo Wuji was still alive, so clearly that Earthly Immortal had been killed. "This was recorded by me. Star Lord Mo also used a huge space cannon to blast and kill millions of foreign invaders, successfully occupying Universal Hall. I only wanted to see one thing, from today onwards, we can enter into space again." Shi Lu¡¯s words created a wild stir in the crowd. At this instant, almost all the cultivators were crazily chanting Mo Wuji''s name. Even a visual recording had been brought out. Moreover, the story of Mo Wuji using a space cannon to kill the foreign invaders was not impossible. To all the cultivators here, being able to head into space was very important. One must know that the resources in Zhen Xing was very limited, and most of these resources were controlled by the big clans and huge sects. For an ordinary cultivator to want to step into a higher realm, they must go into space. Now that Mo Wuji had recaptured Universal Hall, allowing Zhen Xing''s cultivators to once again get access to space. This was a favour that was a huge as the heavens. Even if Star Lord Chi Tong hadn''t pick him, what Mo Wuji had done was enough for 99 percent of Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators to feel indebted to him. Even the soldiers under Xia Dandao were incredibly emotional. What more the others? "Even though Star Lord Chi Tong has perished, he had recommended Star Lord Mo to inherit the position as Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. I believe that under the leadership of Star Lord Mo, Star King Mountain and Zhen Xing would only become more prosperous," Su Xuan saw the right opportunity to stand forward and say. "Wait, wait," Before the crowd could respond, a burly man with purple hair stood forward. He clasped his hands towards Mo Wuji and co. before saying, "Wuji was able to recapture Universal Hall, and was even able to kill Bao Lie and that Earthly Immortal expert. To Star King Mountain, and to Zhen Xing, this is a great act of merit. But now, Star King Mountain has already chosen Xia Dandao to take over as the next Star Lord. Since that¡¯s the case, I suggest that we let Wuji take over as the hall master of Star Wars Hall, and act as the Star King Mountain¡¯s defender. Su Xuan and co. knew this purple haired man. He was the hall master Star King Mountain¡¯s fifth hall, Star Flame Hall. He was also a lackey of the Xia Clan, Chu Fengyi. Moreover, he even tried to sound intimate, by directly calling Mo Wuji as ¡®Wuji¡¯. Chu Fengyi¡¯s words seemed to stand on an administrative point of view. To Star King Mountain, unless it was something important, they should not casually change the Star Lord. Su Xuan snorted and said, "Mo Wuji is the designated heir of Star Lord Chi Tong, and is the greatest contributor to the occupation of Universal Hall. To pick him as Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord is what the crowd wants. Moreover, the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord required the agreement from all ten halls. Yan Ze and I have yet to express out consent, so how is Xia Dandao the Star Lord?" Chu Fengyi sternly said, "Hall Master Su is right. But what times are we in now? This is a critical period when foreign species are invading, so naturally, we cannot act as per normal. Personally, I do not object against Mo Wuji becoming the next Star Lord. After all, he was specified by Star Lord Chi Tong. So after Star Lord Xia retires, I will be the first to support Mo Wuji as Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord." "What kind of thing is this Mo Wuji? Merely a little cultivator from Lost Continent. I don¡¯t agree that he should be the Star Lord. Only Star Lord Xia has the ability to govern Zhen Xing and Star King Mountain." Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on this fella that just spoke, and with a calm tone, he asked, "Who are you?" The man who spoke stood forward, clasped his fists towards the crowd, then said loudly, I am Xia Clan¡¯s Xia Junhuang. Star Lord Xia is my father. However, my recommendations were not based on my relationship with him. I have never given a biased opinion." "Very good," After Mo Wuji said this two words, a lightning sword had already sliced through space. "Psst!" Lightning flashed as blood splattered. Even though Xia Junhuang was already at True God Stage Level 2, he had no means of resisting as he was directly pinned to the ground by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. Chapter 366: I Must Kill Xia Dandao Chapter 366: I Must Kill Xia Dandao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You¡­" Xia Dandao¡¯s eyes teared out of anger. Mo Wuji had killed his son Xia Mu, and he had yet to find an excuse to deal with Mo Wuji. But now, Mo Wuji actually killed his second son Xia Junhuang right in front of him. That¡¯s right. Even though Xia Junhuang was his nephew, but because he lost his only son, the Xia Clan allowed him to adopt Xia Junhuang as his son. In this short period of time, another son was slaughtered by Mo Wuji. "It doesn¡¯t matter whether I¡¯m the Star Lord or not. When I¡¯m talking, how dare a mere ant interfere?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was icy cold as he emitted a dense killing aura. He wasn¡¯t afraid of Xia Dandao acting against him. In fact, he was afraid that Xia Dandao wouldn¡¯t. "Xia Junhuang¡¯s words were truly inappropriate. And since Mo Wuji is the future Star Lord, Xia Junhuang¡¯s words could be considered a crime," Chu Fengyi was the first to step forward and smooth things over. He knew that the moment Mo Wuji and Xia Dandao started to fight, in this current situation, they might not necessarily be able to win. Xia Dandao also calmed down, and said with a cold, indifferent tone, "To offenders who disobey the rules, they must be killed" He had already decided; once he leaves Piercing Wind City, he would gather the forces of the Xia Clan and immediately kill Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji slaughtered Xia Junhuang to incite Xia Dandao to attack him; he did not expect Xia Dandao to actually be so tolerant, and bore every thing patiently. Seeing that Xia Dandao was still shamelessly holding onto the Star Lord¡¯s name, Yan Ze suddenly stood forward and announced in a clear voice, "I also want to tell everyone something unbelievable. Ever since I know of this matter, I have been holding it in. When I saw it, I was so excited that I barely restrained myself. That is, Star Lord Mo has ascended into the main Universal Board, and he is even at the second place." Yan Ze was indeed holding it in; he didn¡¯t even ask Mo Wuji anything. He was more clear than an average person on how difficult it was to get Rank 2 on the Universal Board, and about what Rank 2 meant. "What?" Even Su Xuan stared at Yan Ze in surprise. Previously, Su Xuan was persistent on convincing Mo Wuji to be the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord, and she didn¡¯t pay attention to the Universal Board. Now that she heard that Mo Wuji was Rank 2 on the Universal Board, she was instantly agitated. One must know that among those in the top 10 of the Universal Board, all of them were Earthly Immortal experts. Did this mean that Mo Wuji was also an Earthly Immortal? After Yan Ze¡¯s words were uttered, silence descended upon the entire Piercing Wind City. Only after some time, someone asked in disbelief, "This should not be possible right? Even though Star Lord Mo could use a huge cannon to blast all the foreign invaders, but Universal Board¡¯s Rank 2¡­ That¡¯s simply heaven defying¡­" When this person spoke, he had already subconsciously addressed Mo Wuji as the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Mo Wuji knew, if he wanted to eliminate Xia Dandao, he needed to first isolate Xia Dandao. Even though Xia Dandao was a self-proclaimed Star Lord, Mo Wuji still needed to get rid of that. As the crowds were hesitating in this disbelief, Mo Wuji stood forward, threw his jade token and said, "That¡¯s right, I am indeed Rank 2 on the Universal Board. My target is to reach the top position on the Universal Board someday." Now was not a time to be modest. In this world, everyone respected and feared the strong. Even if Yan Ze didn¡¯t mention this matter, he would have said it himself to kick Xia Dandao off the seat as the Star Lord. Mo Wuji¡¯s universal token floated in midair; everyone could clearly see it with their eyes or their spiritual will. "Mo Wuji, Space Contribution Points: 3,167,440; Rank: 2." When everyone confirmed that Mo Wuji was truly Rank 2 on the Unviersal Board, a tidal wave of wild cheers flooded the entire city. "Star Lord Mo!" "I believe it now! If he didn¡¯t kill millions of foreign invaders, how could he obtain over 3 million contribution points? Star Lord Mo is so strong!" "Yes, only Star Lord Mo can lead us to protect Zhen Xing, and chase those foreign invaders out." "I support Star Lord Mo!" "I also support Star Lord Mo!" ¡­ Among those that could appear on the main Universal Board [1], which one of them weren¡¯t heroes of legends? Even the previous Star Lord Chi Tong, was only Rank 312. Mo Wuji was not only ranked in the main Universal Board, he was Rank 2. Moreover, he had recaptured Universal Hall. It could be said that no one else was more suitable than him to become Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Xia Dandao¡¯s hands were trembling; he knew that he was no longer able to retain his position as the Star Lord. Mo Wuji had just arrived at Piercing Wind City, but Mo Wuji¡¯s reputation had already exceeded his. He needed to immediately contact the Yan Clan, and eliminate Mo Wuji as soon as possible. There was also the Mou Clan; he definitely had to drag them into this affair. As he thought of this, the overcast expression on Xia Dandao¡¯s face instantly disappeared. With a face full of smiles, he said, "Hall Master Chu, I believe that Mo Wuji¡¯s recapture of Universal Hall is truly the greatest inspiration for Zhen Xing. I am willing to hand over my position as the Star Lord. With such an accomplished junior like Mo Wuji, I can rest assured." Now that Xia Dandao had given in, Mo Wuji had become the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord without obstruction. Standing by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, Solitary Red Knot was a little worried; he was worried that after Mo Wuji became the Star Lord, he would immediately cause trouble for Xia Dandao. He understood Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji and Xia Dandao didn¡¯t have any enmity previously, Xia Dandao¡¯s act of killing Xu Chihuang was enough to warrant Mo Wuji¡¯s anger. If Mo Wuji caused trouble for Xia Dandao here, then things would get troublesome. After all, Xia Dandao was the patriarch of the Xia Clan, and was the hall master of Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Wars Hall. Here, the Xia Clan could control at least an army that was at least 100,000 men strong. If Mo Wuji acted against Xia Dandao, then there would definitely be a messy battle. Xia Dandao took a step forward and was about to speak. However, Mo Wuji stood in front of him and said, "Various hall masters, various sect heads, my actions aren¡¯t worthy of mention. Compared to everyone, I¡¯ve done too little. I heard that the previous Star Lord Wu had been assassinated in the Star Lord Mansion. I hope that everyone can follow me to examine Star Lord Wu¡¯s corpse. I believe that without the help of a spy, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe wouldn¡¯t be able to assassinate Star Lord Wu." Originally, Xia Dandao was prepared to leave; together with Star Flame Hall¡¯s Chu Fengyi, he would bring his men and leave. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s words had hidden implications. Now, everyone¡¯s suspicions were aroused, and those who wanted to leave, would attract all of this suspicion. He couldn''t help but abandon his intentions of leaving immediately. Anyway, Wu Lingzhi wasn¡¯t killed by his, Xia Dandao¡¯s, men. Thus, he had nothing to fear. Mo Wuji saw that Xia Dandao did not continue with his departure, and he coldly laughed in his heart: If I don¡¯t find a way to get rid of you, Xia Dandao, today, then I¡¯m not fit to have returned. As for whether or not Wu Lingzhi had been assassinated by Xia Dandao, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even care, and he couldn¡¯t even be bothered to care. Perhaps Wu Lingzhi had poured his blood to helping Zhen Xing, but Mo Wuji did not know him personally. Mo Wuji wanted to help Xu Chihuang take revenge; Xu Chihuang had always been treating the Lost Continent cultivators with respect, and Xu Chihuang had also treated him well. Thus, Mo Wuji would take on this duty of helping Xu Chihuang reap this vengeance. The reason why he got Xia Dandao to go into the Star Lord Mansion, was because he was clear that he couldn¡¯t kill Xia Dandao in front of everyone. As long as Xia Dandao and Chu Fengyi were killed, Mo Wuji believed that Su Xuan and Yan Ze were enough to handle the rest. ¡­ The group of them arrived at the Star Lord Mansion. Xia Dandao was slightly aggrieved. Ever since he became the Star Lord, he hadn¡¯t even entered this Star Lord Mansion with the identity of the Star Lord. Mo Wuji did not act humbly as he sat straight at the position of power, then he said, "Please bring Star Lord Wu¡¯s corpse in." Su Xuan had already made prior instructions; now that Mo Wuji had spoken, there was already someone prepared to carry in Wu Lingzhi¡¯s corpse. Mo Wuji walked over and stood beside Wu Lingzhi¡¯s corpse. The others also walked over. Wu Lingzhi¡¯s face was calm; it was just that there was a scar on his forehead. At the back of his skull, there was also a scar. Mo Wuji suddenly lifted his hands and formed some enigmatic hand seals. Thereafter, out of nowhere, a pitch black fluid appeared from Wu Lingzhi¡¯s fingertip, dripping onto the ground. A rancid odour assailed everyone¡¯s nostrils. Even an idiot could tell that this was a peak grade poison. "Hall Master Wu was poisoned to death?" Su Xuan was the first to utter her exclamations. Previously, everyone thought that Wu Lingzhi was assassinated in a direct battle; they never thought that he died due to poison. This was also because no one else acted like Mo Wuji, forcing the poison out of Wu Lingzhi¡¯s body. Or it was more accurate to say, before anyone could carefully examine the corpse, the foreign invaders had used the transfer array to arrive outside of Piercing Wind City. "I recognise this poison¡­" Yan Ze suddenly muttered with a serious countenance. He lifted his head and turned to Xia Dandao. Yan Ze wasn''t the only one who recognised this poison; most of them did. This poison was called Soulless Hell. After being afflicted with this poison, one¡¯s primordial spirit and soul would be corroded from the inside, losing the chance to reincarnate. It was extremely deadly and vicious. Moreover, only one family had this poison; it was the Xia Clan. The Xia Clan had long listed this poison as ¡®prohibited¡¯, and even disciples of the Xia Clan were not allowed access to it. Unexpectedly, it actually appeared on Wu Lingzhi¡¯s body. Xia Dandao¡¯s face instantly turned pale; he immediately shouted harshly, "I¡¯m not the one that killed Star Lord Wu." At this moment, all eyes were glued to him. His explanations were useless. After Wu Lingzhi was killed, Xia Dandao forced wrested the position as the Star Lord. Everyone knew that. Thus, no one believed Xia Dandao¡¯s words. "Xia Dandao, at the end of the day, you are an esteemed hall master of Star King Moutain¡¯s number one hall. If you must be the Star Lord, you could have discussed it with Star Lord Wu. Star Lord Wu is honest and loyal, and was wholeheartedly working for the future of Zhen Xing. You actually assassinated Star Lord Wu. I knew it, with Star Lord Wu¡¯s cultivation, who could assassinate him in a direct battle? So there was a traitor like you!" Su Xuan lifted her arm, and the Phoenix Spear appeared in her hands. Yan Ze¡¯s face had a murderous look; he wielded his saber and shouted angrily, "Xia Dandao, you assassinated Star Lord Wu, and you even killed Defender Xu Chihuang. You are a human scum. You¡¯re from Zhen Xing, yet you colluded with the foreigners to kill our own people." At this instant, not only Yan Ze and Su Xuan, almost everyone brought out their magic treasures and surrounded Xia Dandao. Even Chu Fengyi could only shut his mouth. Mo Wuji opened his hands and Tian Ji Pole landed into his palms. He possessed the detoxification meridian, so how could he not know that Wu Lingzhi wasn¡¯t poisoned to death? He guessed that someone else wanted to plot against Xia Dandao. However, he came here today to kill Xia Dandao. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to care that Xia Dandao was being wrongfully maligned. [1] The main board records those in the top 1000. Chapter 367: A Woman Like The Poison Fairy Chapter 367: A Woman Like The Poison Fairy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Too many people want my life so let¡¯s see if you are capable enough to do so¡­" Before Xia Dandao could finish his sentence, a red radiance was shot out. Wasn¡¯t the reason why Mo Wuji brought Xia Dandao here to prevent him from asking for help? At almost the same moment when Xia Dandao raised his hand, Mo Wuji shot out an electroball. The red radiance was intercepted by the electroball and eventually dissipated into thin air. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole turned into countless of pole shadows before shouting, "I shall use my identity as the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain to order everyone here to capture this traitor, Xia Dandao who assassinated Star Lord Wu¡­" The situation was clear and even an idiot would know which side had the upper hand. Almost as Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole landed, all sorts of magic treasures were ignited and Xia Dandao was suddenly under the combined attack of 20 over Worldly Immortal Stage experts. "Boom!" The explosions of the radiance from the magic treasures together with the elemental energy within the strikes surrounded Xia Dandao. No matter how strong Xia Dandao was, this was a situation he was powerless to salvage. Moreover, there were at least a few Worldly Immortal Stage experts who were not any weaker than himself. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole looked like it was aimed at Xia Dandao but it suddenly disappeared without a trace in thin air. "You¡­" Chu Fengyi pointed unbelievably at Mo Wuji because looking at how Mo Wuji was acting with great fanfare, he was confident Mo Wuji would attack Xia Dandao. He was initially planning to make use of his escape talisman to leave at the instant Mo Wuji struck Xia Dandao. Who would have thought after exhorting everyone to attack Xia Dandao, Mo Wuji turned to sneak attack Chu Fengyi instead? The war in the Star Lord¡¯s Residence started quickly but ended just as quick. Under the combined attacks of so many experts not any weaker than himself, Xia Dandao was simply helpless in trying to block this insanely explosive attack. Presently, he was lying on the floor, dispirited with extremely weak primordial spirit. Everyone fell silent when they realised the first person killed was not Xia Dandao but Chu Fengyi. Their new Star Lord secretly attacked Chu Fengyi after instructing everyone else to attack Xia Dandao. Currently, everyone was in awe of Mo Wuji as they finally understood why he was able to remain safe even after the pursuits of the three big clans a few years ago. He was certainly more scheming than everybody present here. He knew that to completely eradicate the Xia Clan, not only Xia Dandao must die, Chu Fengyi shouldn¡¯t be allowed to survive too. Xia Dandao extended his hand and pointed at Mo Wuji, "I am angry and regretful that I didn¡¯t kill you from the onstart¡­ To think I¡¯ve let an ant bite back at me..." He was indeed regretful because back then, he should have went to the Lost Continent personally. If he had held more regard for Mo Wuji previously, today wouldn¡¯t have existed because he would never have imagined the ant that he completely disregarded in the past sent him to hell today. He gave up thinking about revenge for his Xia Clan because even himself was killed by the schemes of Mo Wuji so how was he even going to avenge his Xia Clan? Perhaps what Xia Dandao didn¡¯t know was that if he had been to the Lost Continent back then, Xia Dandao would have ceased to exist. Mo Wuji stared coldly at Xia Dandao, "Previously, when my wife, Shuyin, was forced into the Thorny Wind Gate, I have swore to exterminate your Xia Clan." Finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji raised the lightning sword in his hand and in just a few breath¡¯s time, Xia Dandao fell to the ground after being pierced to death by Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. "Greetings Star Lord," After seeing Mo Wuji killed Xia Dandao, everyone including Su Xuan immediately expressed their newfound respect for Mo Wuji. What they didn¡¯t know was despite killing Xia Dandao and Chu Fengyi, they had yet to see the true strength of Mo Wuji. "Hall Master Su, you and Hall Master Yan go reorganise the strength of Zhen Xing in the Piercing Wind City and repair the transfer array from the Piercing Wind City to the Universal Hall. Increase the defensive capabilities of the Universal Hall to prevent the possible retaliation of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and space beasts," Mo Wuji knew that if he wanted to exterminate the Xia and Yan Clan, he had to remain on the throne for this period of time. "Yes, Star Lord," Su Xuan and Yan Ze stood out and shouted without any shreds of hesitation. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes swept across the many sect heads and he was sure that some of them wanted him dead a few years ago. He didn¡¯t feel the need to pursue this matter anymore because if he was really insistent on getting his revenge for this, the amount of bloodshed would be enough to fill an entire river in Zhen Xing. Perhaps even Su Xuan and Yan Ze were among those in pursuit of him. However, Mo Wuji really did accused these two people because out of the 10 halls back then, only 8 were after Mo Wuji and the two that didn¡¯t want to kill him were Su Xuan and Yan Ze respectively. Wu Lingzhi didn¡¯t participate in the pursuit as well because his Star Trace Hall was already taken over by the Mou Clan. The Mou Clan participated in the pursuit in the name of the Star Trace Hall and even Wu Lingzhi wasn¡¯t aware of this. After sensing his stare, many sect heads who were after Mo Wuji previously felt chills down their spines. They were praying that this Star Lord Mo would not bear grudges. "Xia Dandao assassinated Star Lord Wu and collaborated with the foreign invaders so who is willing to settle the scores with the Xia Clan?" Mo Wuji asked with a calm tone after glancing at everyone. "Star Lord, Old Slave is willing," Just as Mo Wuji finished asking, an elder stood out. Mo Wuji could sense that this elder was at least in the intermediate stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage yet he didn¡¯t know if he was a hall master of one of these halls or a sect head. Noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s doubts, the elder immediately replied, "Old Slave Chi Huo¡¯Er was the person assisting the Star Lord in managing the three king boards. Since Star Lord Mo had taken over the throne and was appointed by the previous Star Lord, Old Slave here is willing to serve as you wish." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart felt relieved when he heard that he had worked closely with Chi Tong before. Chi Tong was killed mainly because the three big clans were not willing to help him so Chi Huo¡¯Er would definitely not let this opportunity to exterminate the Xia Clan slip away. ¡­ Star King Mountain changed its Star Lord once again and the new Star Lord, Mo Wuji, was ranked first on the Mortal Board, ranked first on the Earth Board and ranked second in the Universal Board. At this point in time, Mo Wuji had the greatest limelight in the entire Zhen Mo Continent. Most of the cultivators were not only full of admiration for him, they were extremely grateful too. This was because Mo Wuji¡¯s greatest contribution to Zhen Xing was getting the Universal Hall back. The Universal Hall was of the greatest importance to many cultivators so much so that even cultivators who were simply too weak to visit the Universal Hall had reaped the benefits of it. Most cultivation resources in the Star Wars Battlefield were transferred from the Universal Hall to Zhen Xing and then bought by the various cultivators. Currently, the popular Mo Wuji was neither in the Piercing Wind City nor the Universal Hall. Ever since Su Xuan and Yan Ze started reorganising the cultivator army in the Piercing Wind City as well as revamping the Universal Hall, Mo Wuji had already left the Piercing Wind City. Mo Wuji had left for the Yan Clan because he recalled that the Yan Clan was the cause of him being pursued by the masses previously. What was more infuriating to Mo Wuji was that the Yan Clan even issued orders to kill every cultivator from the Lost Continent. Because of him, a lot of innocent Lost Continent cultivators were killed for nothing. This made Mo Wuji extremely guilty and he would let down all the Lost Continent cultivators who died for nothing if he didn¡¯t obliterate the entire Yan Clan. ¡­ The Yan Clan owned a huge plaza and a natural spiritual jade pool. It¡¯s location was only second to the Star King Mountain. Even before he reached the Yan Clan, Mo Wuji could feel the dense spiritual energy from the periphery of the Yan Clan¡¯s encampment. This Yan Clan¡¯s territory was blocked off by countless of defensive arrays so sturdy that even Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual energy was unable to seep through. Mo Wuji had no intentions to reason things out with the Yan Clan so he immediately took out his ice cannon. There was no longer any more purpose for a clan like the Yan Clan to survive so the best way to get rid of them would be using his cannon. At a distance about 10 metres away from the Yan Clan, while Mo Wuji was searching for a spot to plant his cannon, he suddenly sensed a familiar spiritual will imprint. This was in fact a spiritual will imprint which he left behind so Mo Wuji was naturally the most familiar with his own imprint. He didn¡¯t leave too many spiritual will imprints as he only left two back when he was with Cen Shuyin in the Thorny Wind Gate. When Cen Shuyin was being pursued by a member of the Broken Sect, he killed the Broken Sect¡¯s Number 731 and he wasn¡¯t that knowledgeable in creating his own spiritual will imprint back then. He simply used the Number 731¡¯s storage ring as a bait and installed an imprint array. Even though he wasn¡¯t very proficient in tracking a spiritual will imprint, he was extremely knowledgeable in his understanding for meridians. Therefore, he made use of an array to install a spiritual will imprint in one¡¯s meridian so that as long as someone touched that Number 731¡¯s storage ring, the imprint would seep unknowingly into the person¡¯s meridian. In terms of meridian understanding, Mo Wuji believed no one was more capable than himself. Currently, he actually sensed his own spiritual will imprint and it was in the territory of the Yan Clan. He left the spiritual will imprint because he was afraid of the Broken Sect lingering around. In fact, he was right because the Broken Sect did lingered around as they even sent a woman called the Poison Fairy to kill him. The only odd thing about that was that the Poison Fairy was so resolute to kill him that she didn¡¯t even care about her own life. It was only until she realised the importance of her own life that she suddenly expressed a strong desire to survive and even told him how to find the spiritual will imprint that was placed in his body. To find the spiritual will imprint that he left behind there, Mo Wuji was dead sure that it was a member of the Broken Sect. This person must have been to the place where the Number 731¡¯s storage ring was left behind hence, Mo Wuju¡¯s spiritual will imprint was able to seep into his meridian. Could the Yan Clan be the Broken Sect? Mo Wuji instantly shook his head because the Yan Clan could never be the Broken Sect. The Broken Sect should be much stronger than the Yan Clan and now that a fella from the Broken Sect was here, should he still fire this cannon? If he fired, this would mean the death of the Broken Sect¡¯s fella too which would in turn meant that he would be destroying his only clue. However, if he didn¡¯t fire this shot, he might not be able to exterminate the entire Yan Clan by himself. Just as Mo Wuji was still hesitating, he felt an impending danger. Mo Wuji shifted his body and disappeared far away with the wind. "Boom!" An ambush landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s initial position and one could imagine that if he didn¡¯t use his escape talisman earlier on, he would have been left with only half a life. Mo Wuji raised his hand and his Tian Ji Pole landed in his hand and a woman in a linen robe appeared in front of him. This woman had a face without makeup but was extremely gorgeous as she gave out a ¡®girl next door¡¯ feeling. At the sight of this, the first thing Mo Wuji thought of was the Poison Fairy. She looked almost as harmless and innocent as the Poison Fairy but her attacks were extremely vicious. More importantly, she wore the same linen robe as the Poison Fairy and even had some resemblance in terms of their looks. Chapter 368: Don’t Ever Look For The Broken Sect Chapter 368: Don¡¯t Ever Look For The Broken Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji immediately recalled that the opponent was a member of the Broken Sect and she seemed to be stronger than the Poison Fairy as Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that she was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3. However, this woman wasn¡¯t the one who took the Number 731¡¯s storage ring because his spiritual will imprint was actually not on her body. "What are you doing here?" The woman glared at Mo Wuji as she said with a trace of coldness. "None of your business," Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t friendly to her because if it was not for his sensitivity for danger and the use of his escape talisman earlier on, he could have died. The woman heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and didn¡¯t bother talking it out with him as she drew out her Seven Dazzling Mirrors. The Seven Dazzling Mirrors were extremely majestic and its wavering lights were like a voided space, enveloping Mo Wuji. The majestic space started to chain and extrude Mo Wuji as he grunted before his Tian Ji Pole turned into a cluster of pole shadows as it struck against the brilliance of the Seven Dazzling Mirrors. "Kacha!" The brilliance was like an essence as it was broken into a million pieces when Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole struck against it. Mo Wuji took a simple step and was already outside of this magnificent space. Mo Wuji was pretty knowledgeable in the law of space so he could tell that the stability of this space was almost zero and it was meant to deal with newbie who knew nothing about space. Without waiting for her to react, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole had already pierced through space towards her. "Boom!" This time round, the Seven Dazzling Mirrors had turned into a round shield as it clashed with Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole. The explosion of elemental energy turned everything around them into ashes as the place they were battling at had quickly turned into a void. "Bang!" Tian Ji Pole¡¯s strong retaliation energy forced this young woman to fly backwards for over tens of metres. Against a woman who wanted to kill him, Mo Wuji held no tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex as he released a lightning web concurrently with a strike of the Tian Ji Pole. "Boom boom boom!" The lightning web trapped this woman as the Seven Dazzling Mirrors actually turned into an endless amount of brilliance as it tried to break the lightning web. However, the lightning web was simply too powerful as it burnt the woman¡¯s clothes black. Mo Wuji saw through the space and walked out of the space formed by this woman¡¯s Seven Dazzling Mirrors. This woman¡¯s understanding of space was simply not comparable to Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding. No matter how much force she used, she would never be as capable as Mo Wuji to break the lightning web and escape. At this same moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole landed. Mo Wuji wanted to tell this woman that she was simply too ambitious to try and take him down while only being at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3. "Stop, if you kill me, you will never be able to free yourself from the clutches of the Broken Sect. They will follow you like tarsal bone worms until they managed to get rid of you¡­" The woman hurried to shout as she realised that her little life was under complete control by Mo Wuji. She was different from the rest because even though there were little spirituality ripples around Mo Wuji and he looked like a mortal, she could clearly sense Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level and knew that he should not be in the Worldly Immortal Stage yet. Worldly Immortal Stage experts meant experts with their primordial spirit solidified and was even able to leave their body while their elemental energy remained solidified too. Because she was extremely sensitive to the primordial spirit, she could sense Mo Wuji¡¯s true cultivation level. In her eyes, she thought that she could finish off an expert who was not even in the Worldly Immortal Stage. Who would have thought that Mo Wuji was so strong that he could restrain her in less than five moves? "Kacha!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole had no intentions to stop as it landed on the woman¡¯s knees and instantly broke both of her knees. After Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole landed on her knees, she immediately fell to the ground, crippled. Under the careful watch of Mo Wuji, it would simply be impossible for her to escape. Mo Wuji grabbed her Seven Dazzling Mirrors as he was extremely impressed by this mirror and was not intending to leave it with this woman. The reasons why he chose not to kill her was because he wanted to inquire more about the Broken Sect and to find out who on earth the Poison Fairy was. After hearing that he was a Rebirther, the Poison Fairy pleaded for her life but the poison in her was simply too powerful for Mo Wuji to save her. The Poison Fairy even told him where to find the Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual will imprint on himself and because she was very concerned about Mo Wuji and the story of his rebirth, Mo Wuji wanted to ask about her. "Even though I would violate the sect¡¯s rules, I promise to not tell the Broken Sect about you attacking me as long as you let me go. Let this be our personal treaty?" The woman didn¡¯t seem too bothered by her broken knees as she tried to strike a deal with Mo Wuji calmly. Mo Wuji said faintly, "Is the Broken Sect so formidable? Am I not living well even after killing that Number 731 and watching the Poison Fairy die in front of me?" "You killed Wan¡¯Er¡­" This woman¡¯s expression changed drastically when she heard that the Poison Fairy died in front of him. The woman didn¡¯t react when her knees were broken by Mo Wuji but now that he mentioned about the Poison Fairy¡¯s death, her voice was shivering. "You, you...and the Broken Sect are simply irreconcilable. You are definitely bound to die with an incomplete body in the hands of the Broken Sect," This woman¡¯s words suddenly became harsh and vicious. Mo Wuji replied coldly, "The Broken Sect and I had already been irreconcilable for the longest time ever even without your reminder. When the Poison Fairy told me to not find trouble with the Broken Sect if I had a second life, I told her to warn the Broken Sect to not find trouble with me, Mo Wuji, if they had a second life. The reason why I didn¡¯t kill you yet was not because you are a member of the Broken Sect. The Broken Sect would be exterminated soon so stop using the Broken Sect to threaten me. I only wanted to ask about the Poison Fairy whom you called Wan¡¯Er. I do hope you can tell me more about the Poison Fairy and her past but of course, I wouldn¡¯t force you if you are not willing to tell me. Therefore, all you have to answer now is whether you are willing to speak or not." The woman finally calmed herself down as she looked at Mo Wuji seriously and said, "So you are Mo Wuji? I have long heard about your reputable name. Before I answer you, you have to tell me one thing. Did you kill Wan¡¯Er?" Mo Wuji replied in a calm tone, "If Wan¡¯Er is the Poison Fairy, I didn¡¯t kill her. Back then when I was in space, she asked me to give her a lift and I agreed. However, she poisoned me the moment she boarded my flying ship. The pity was that her poison didn¡¯t work on me and after she realised that she failed to poison me, she killed herself. Therefore, her death was her own doing even though I didn¡¯t wish to kill her in the end. "Tell me, why would Wan¡¯Er tell you how to find the Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual will imprint?" The woman heard Mo Wuji and the sorrow in her eyes started to dissipate. "You are actually quite smart to know that Wan¡¯Er told me where to find the spiritual will imprint on my body?" Mo Wuji said in surprise. The woman said in a deep voice, "The Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual will imprint makes use of the spiritual energy in the air and enters your spirit channel the moment you cultivate and use your spiritual circulation technique. No matter what technique you use, such a spiritual will imprint would not disappear and you would not realise it. Since you don¡¯t have any spiritual will imprint on you now, it would mean that Wan¡¯Er told you how to get rid of it. Otherwise, even if you knew you had a will imprint on you, you would definitely not be able to get rid of it." Mo Wuji nodded his head, "You are right for half of your claims because it was indeed Wan¡¯Er who told me where the spiritual will imprint was on my body. However, before she told me how to get rid of it, she was poisoned to death and I was the one who thought of the way to remove the spiritual will imprint." "Unbelievable," This woman said in a stern tone while she sent out an silent spiritual will imprint as she spoke. Mo Wuji was extremely sensitive to changes in space so he immediately realised it when this woman was placing spiritual will imprints on him. He allowed this woman to place her spiritual will imprint and the moment she was done with it, he would continue to circulate all 106 meridians simultaneously and sent in a trace of the Scholar¡¯s Heart into his meridians. In a few seconds, the spiritual will imprint on him disappeared without a trace. This woman was dumbfounded because how could she not tell that Mo Wuji immediately removed her spiritual will imprint only shortly after she placed it on him? Even the Broken Sect was not capable of doing so. "You are indeed not lying," The woman let out a long sigh as she stared at Mo Wuji and said slowly, "Can you tell me why Wan¡¯Er told you where the spiritual will imprint was?" Mo Wuji nodded his head as he didn¡¯t intent to let this woman go. He simply couldn¡¯t care how much she knew but cared about how much she would tell him instead. "This was because before she died, I told her that I was a Rebirther..." Before Mo Wuji could finish, the woman intejected and said shockingly "You told her you were a Rebirther... No wonder Wan¡¯Er would tell you¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue explaining since this woman already understood what he was saying, "Speaking of which, I still owe her a little favour. Back then, if she could survive, I really wouldn¡¯t have killed her but it was a pity that she was too vicious when poisoning herself." "Wan¡¯Er is my younger sister, my biological younger sister. My name is Nong Shuyi and her name is Nong Shuwan¡­" The woman stopped here as she looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Do you really want to exterminate the Broken Sect?" "That¡¯s right, the members of the Broken Sect were chasing after my wife in the Thorny Wind Gate and were trying to kill me afterwards. I told your younger sister before that if the Broken Sect were to have a second chance in life, they better not provoke me," Mo Wuji said calmly. He believed what this woman said and that she was the Poison Fairy¡¯s sister. However, he was still hesitating whether he should kill her or not. The Poison Fairy did save his life just before her death and this woman was the Poison Fairy¡¯s older sister. "Don¡¯t find the Broken Sect because I am not helping the Broken Sect. The moment you try to seek your revenge on the Broken Sect, you would definitely die." "That is my own problem and you only need to tell me why your sister gave up killing me and pleaded for her life after she knows I am a Rebirther?" Mo Wuji stared at Nong Shuyi as he asked. Chapter 369: Blasting The Yan Clan Chapter 369: Blasting The Yan Clan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This matter is a taboo so it is not convenient to speak about it here. Whether or not you choose to kill me, let¡¯s find a safer place to talk about this," Nong Shuyi said with a mournful tone. Mo Wuji nodded his head and pointed to the Yan Clan¡¯s territory, "What is the relationship between Yan Clan and the Broken Sect?" "Why do you ask this?" Nong Shuyi looked curiously at Mo Wuji. "Because there are members of the Broken Sect in the Yan Clan now," Mo Wuji was not afraid that Nong Shuyi would get his message and so even if he chose not to kill Nong Shuyi now, he wouldn¡¯t let her go before he exterminated the Broken Sect. "Are you talking about me?" Nong Shuyi said this but immediately felt that Mo Wuji might not be talking about her. "Of course not. I¡¯m talking about the person who has been to the Thorny Wind Gate to search for me." Nong Shuyi stared shockingly at Mo Wuji because she had already understood Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Mo Wuji had actually placed his spiritual will imprint on a member of the Broken Sect? Wasn¡¯t the person who had been to the Thorny Wind Gate the person who took the Number 731¡¯s storage ring? After a while, Nong Shuyi took a small breath and said, "I¡¯ve always thought that nobody in the entire Zhen Xing would be more proficient in spiritual will imprints than the Broken Sect. However, after witnessing you remove the Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual will imprint and then being able to place your spiritual will imprint on a member of the Broken Sect member, I knew that you are definitely not weaker than the Broken Sect in this aspect. In fact, you might even be stronger than the Broken Sect in terms of your knowledge and use of spiritual will imprints. After hearing Nong Shuyi¡¯s words, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t explain further. The truth was that he was actually not that proficient in spiritual will imprints. The reason why he was able to implant the spiritual will imprint on the person without him noticing was because his meridian cultivation technique was the very first of its kind. As long as you reached a certain altitude for your cultivation technique, it would be applicable for many things. And Mo Wuji himself was indeed standing at the peak of meridian cultivation techniques. "That¡¯s right, that person did visit the Thorny Wind Gate and even took back Number 731¡¯s key. He is Number 605, in the Great Circle of the True God Stage. Even though his cultivation level was not as high as mine, his methods of assassination were many folds stronger than mine," Nong Shuyi revealed everything blatantly. Hearing Nong Shuyi¡¯s words, Mo Wuji knew that this woman had decided not to fight for the Broken Sect anymore otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have said so much. "Then what number are you?" Mo Wuji suddenly had his suspicion over her status in the Broken Sect. Since she was in the elementary stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage, her status in the Broken Sect shouldn¡¯t be too low. Nong Shuyi shook her head, "I am only a runner to pass on messages and stand sentry because I am not qualified to have a number." Mo Wuji looked suspiciously at Mo Wuji because whether it was Number 731, Number 605 or the Poison Fairy, their cultivation level were not even comparable to Nong Shuyi so how could she not be qualified to have a number? Nong Shuyi saw through Mo Wuji¡¯s suspicion and continued to ask, "I only know how to cultivate and have no special ability. I was only able to survive in the Broken Sect because of Wan¡¯Er¡¯s capability. In the Broken Sect, every individual must have an ability of their own¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly remembered the Number 731 because even at the Nihility God Stage, he was extremely sensitive to wind and could even move freely within the Thorny Wind Gate. And the Poison Fairy, if it was not for his detoxification meridian that he recently opened, he would have fallen in her hands. As for the Number 605 who had his spiritual will imprint on his body, what ability must he had to be able to enter the Thorny Wind Gate to retrieve the storage ring so casually? The only reason why he would have Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will imprint on him was because no one was more knowledgeable than Mo Wuji in the understanding of meridians. Even an expert in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage might not be able to detect his spiritual will imprint. It seemed as though this Nong Shuyi really didn¡¯t have any special ability. The only peculiar thing about her would be her slightly higher cultivation level but for something like cultivation level, as long as one had sufficient time and resources, one would be able to reach a high level eventually. "...For example while we are talking now, there could perhaps be someone from the Broken Sect beside us who we couldn¡¯t see. The moment we leave this place, the news of my betrayal would have reached the Broken Sect but ever since Wan¡¯Er left me, I have no intentions to live anymore. This was also why I want to advice you not to find trouble with the Broken Sect, even though you are indeed very capable¡­" Before Nong Shuyi could finish speaking, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jumped. His spiritual will scanned the surroundings a few times and it even extended to areas over 10metres away from them. If there was any slight movement from anyone, he would be the first to find out. However, the Broken Sect was simply too odd and mysterious so he couldn¡¯t not believe Nong Shuyi¡¯s words. At the thought of this, a spiritual eye appeared on top of his forehead because nothing in this world could escape his spiritual eye. A light radiance which could see through space scanned the surrounding and within a few breaths, Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned ugly. About 10 metres away from where he and Nong Shuyi was, one of the stones looked just like any other ordinary stones under the scan of his spiritual will. Unless he specifically used his spiritual will to focus on this particular stone, he would never have known there were problems with this stone. However, this stone was actually a hidden cultivator. Mo Wuji had no idea what technique this was to turn himself into a stone. Just as Nong Shuyi was still explaining, Mo Wuji shot out a lightning sword. "Kacha!" The stone broke and blood poured out. Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword pierced through the centre of the stone. The lightnings from the lightning sword were still flickering even after the stone was broken apart. The hidden cultivator was revealed as a young man and Mo Wuji had no idea what material the broken pieces of stone beside him were made of to actually look like all the other stones around. "Ah¡­" Nong Shuyi saw the man that Mo Wuji attacked and was shocked. Even though she did mentioned the possibility of being watched, she was still dumbfounded when she found out that someone was really watching them. "Who is this? To think he could actually turn into a stone which even spiritual will can¡¯t detect?" Mo Wuji asked. Nong Shuyi shaked her head, "I don''t recognise him but I know the Broken Sect had members capable of acts like hiding within space or turning into objects to spy on people. My status isn¡¯t high in the Broken Sect as I am only a runner and a cleaner. To survive, I had to run errands for the Broken Sect. It would be logical for someone to follow me when I run errands but I would have never expected someone to follow me even as I came out to clean up." Her heart was still in shock as she wondered how did Mo Wuji find him as she didn¡¯t notice Mo Wuji¡¯s opening of his spiritual eye earlier on. "Is the reason why you¡¯re cleaning up because there were members of the Broken Sect in the Yan Clan discussing matters?" Mo Wuji questioned. Nong Shuyi answered, "Yes, even though I don¡¯t know the details of it, it seemed like the Yan Clan wants to join the Broken Sect and the someone important from the Broken Sect is here to discuss matters. Oh yes, I saw a Gu Nuo Star Tribe cultivator in the Yan Clan, his name is Hoover¡­" Yan Clan wanted to join the Broken Sect? And the Yan Clan actually formed an alliance with the foreign invaders? "Do you know where the Broken Sect is located at?" Since Mo Wuji had already made his decision to destroy the Yan Clan into pieces, he was confident Nong Shuyi would bring him there as long as she knew. Nong Shuyi shook her head, "I have no idea and it was only when I had to collect my Spirit Channel Formation Pill that someone would come and find me. Previously, Wan¡¯Er was the one who would pass me the Spirit Channel Formation Pills but recently, I had to wait for others to bring it to me." "What is the Spirit Channel Formation Pills?" Mo Wuji asked curiously as he had heard of Spirit Channel Pills as well as the Channel Solidifying Pill but not this Spirit Channel Formation Pill as he couldn¡¯t believe there were still pills he hadn¡¯t heard of despite being a Tier 6 Earth grade pill refiner. "Every disciple of the Broken Sect had to go cultivate the Broken Sect technique. And to cultivate the Broken Sect technique, one had to take the Spirit Channel Formation Pill to increase the speed of cultivation as well as to remove the immolation," Nong Shuyi explained. Mo Wuji sent two healing pills into Nong Shuyi¡¯s mouth and asked, "You mean as long as you practice the Broken Sect¡¯s technique, it would mean death the moment you betray the sect right?" "Yes, as long as you stop using the Spirit Channel Formation Pills, even if you stop cultivating the Broken Sect¡¯s technique, the spirit channels in your body would still burn and you would eventually immolate to death," Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at the extent of this method of controlling someone. Mo Wuji turned silent and made him even more resolute to obliterate the Broken Sect. Just as he was thinking of ways to ask Nong Shuyi to get the fella with his spiritual will imprint on him out, Mo Wuji felt the a movement of his spiritual will imprint. After half an incense worth of time, his spiritual will imprint had left the periphery of the Yan Clan as he hurried to a certain place. Time to act. Mo Wuji waited for that fella to leave before taking out his extreme ice cannon as well as a massive ammunition. Mo Wuji¡¯s healing pills were extremely effective and after a short while, Nong Shuyi could feel her knees recovering fast even though she didn¡¯t wish to continue living. After learning that Wan¡¯Er was dead, she had lost her purpose in life. Furthermore, even if she wanted to live, by revealing what she revealed to Mo Wuji meant that she would stop receiving any more Spirit Channel Formation Pills from the Broken Sect and without this pill, it really didn¡¯t matter much whether her knees were to recover or not. Just as she saw Mo Wuji took out the massive cannon, Nong Shuyi knew why Mo Wuji was stationed here. To think he could exterminate the Yan Clan using a space cannon, wasn¡¯t he a little too naive? The space cannon could indeed kill a few weaker cultivators in the Yan Clan but it would be completely useless against the Worldly Immortal Stage experts from the Yan Clan. Moreover, there were still experts from the Broken Sect in the Yan Clan so even before the space cannon could land, it would be blown away by the Worldly Immortal Stage experts from the Broken Sect. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know and didn¡¯t care about what Nong Shuyi was thinking. If the extreme ice cannon could exterminate millions of foreign invaders, how could a small Yan Clan hold out against this shot? After setting up the ice cannon and putting in the ammunition of the cannon, Mo Wuji aimed at the Yan Clan¡¯s territory and ignited the extreme ice cannon. A biting white radiance flashed past Nong Shuyi and she could immediately feel the intense tremor. "Boom!" An explosion was heard and a bone biting cold was felt as Nong Shuyi stood there shockingly as she had completely forgotten about the wounds on her knees which were almost fully healed. She stared blankly at the Yan Clan¡¯s base turning into a space of white fog and nothing else. Chapter 370: The Devastated Poison Fairy Chapter 370: The Devastated Poison Fairy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Kacha¡­" Cracking sounds could be heard and after just half an incense time, the ice fog in the surrounding was gone and a whole new scene appeared in front of Nong Shuyi¡¯s eyes. Nong Shuyi was dumbfounded with her mouth wide opened at the sight in front of her. At this moment, she finally understood why Mo Wuji said if the Broken Sect were to have a second life, they better not provoke him. The originally lively and majestic Yan Clan which was protected by all sorts of defensive arrays had turned into a broken piece of ice land in an instant. In one glance, there were no longer shadows of houses, trees and hills let alone humans under the blast of this incredible cannon. The extreme cold could even be felt at where they were standing which made Nong Shuyi shivered. What made her shivered even more was the thought of Mo Wuji ice cannon. There was actually such a destructive cannon on Zhen Xing? Was it meant to destroy the entire planet? Nong Shuyi only asked Mo Wuji shockingly after a moment, "What cannon is this? How could it be so terrifying?" Mo Wuji kept his ice cannon and instead of directly answering Nong Shuyi¡¯s question, Mo Wuji said, "My cannons doesn¡¯t have unlimited ammunition to use and now I am only left with a few." Mo Wuji was truthful about this because even though he looked like he still had a few piles of ammunition left, he had a total of only about 50 ammunition left. Every blast of the cannon would use a shell and if he was strong enough to exterminate the Yan Clan by himself, he wouldn¡¯t have wasted one ammunition on the Yan Clan. Nong Shuyi kept quiet as she initially thought that Mo Wuji was using a space cannon. If he used a space cannon, he would really be courting death because other than the many members of the Broken Sect in Yan Clan, there were also a few Worldly Immortal Stage experts in the Yan Clan itself. He would simply be alerting the enemy with a move like this. She wouldn¡¯t have bothered to save Mo Wuji too because even if he didn¡¯t kill her sister, her sister¡¯s death had a direct relation with Mo Wuji. As she already had no intentions to continue living, she wouldn¡¯t stop Mo Wuji from courting his own death. "Yan Clan is doomed," Nong Shuyi didn¡¯t question how many ammunition Mo Wuji had left because even if he had only one left, it was something everyone would be fearful of. "Dao friend Nong, I believe you won¡¯t return to the Broken Sect anymore so I hope you can tell me why Wan¡¯Er wanted to continue living after realising I am a Rebirther?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother with Nong Shuyi¡¯s words because it would be odd if the Yan Clan was not doomed after being blasted into nothing but a flat ground. Nong Shuyi suddenly lifted her hand to create a circle of flame and after throwing the cultivator that Mo Wuji killed with his lightning sword into it, she said to Mo Wuji, "This place is not convenient to speak, follow me." Finishing, Nong Shuyi drew out a flying ship. If she had her doubts for Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to deal with the Broken Sect previously, all her doubts were clear now. With a cannon like this in his possession, no matter how strong the Broken Sect was, as long as Mo Wuji knew where their base was, the Broken Sect was as good as dead. To Mo Wuji, Nong Shuyi was not much of a help in his quest to exterminate the Broken Sect. Nong Shuyi¡¯s status was slightly low and she didn¡¯t even know where their old lair was. The only help Nong Shuyi was to Mo Wuji was that she could explain to him why the Poison Fairy was so willing to live after knowing Mo Wuji was a Rebirther. ¡­ Nong Shuyi¡¯s flying ship was slightly better than Mo Wuji¡¯s one but the direction she was heading towards surprised Mo Wuji. The further she went, the lesser the amount of spiritual energy in the air. Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivation laws were much more complete than the Lost Continent but it didn¡¯t mean that the spiritual energy sources were better than the Lost Continent in every corner of the Zhen Mo Continent. Even in the Zhen Mo Continent, there were mortal worlds. After flying for a few days, Nong Shuyi finally stopped her ship. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to sense the surrounding and he realised that there was an extremely vast mortal city less than 1000 meters away from where they were. There were a few villages beside the city and the combination of villages and city formed a district. After Mo Wuji also kept his flying ship, Nong Shuyi had already turned into a decent looking, hostile woman with thick makeup on her face. Mo Wuji was extremely not used to seeing Nong Shuyi using some thick cosmetics to cover her face. Nong Shuyi saw the suspicion in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes and laughed, "This was Wan¡¯Er and my land of happiness and joy. When we had no missions or tasks, we would stay here to enjoy the quiet and peaceful life." Mo Wuji shook his head but didn''t say anything because there were simply too much commotion here as it was almost like a marketplace with all sorts of people around. This was clearly not a place to live a quiet life. As if she could see through Mo Wuji¡¯s thoughts, Nong Shuyi said voluntarily, "As compared to the days in the Broken Sect. Wan¡¯Er and I loved this place. The only thing we didn¡¯t like was that we had to put on a thick amount of cosmetics every time we return." Mo Wuji finally understood why both Nong Shuyi and the Poison Fairy was always bare faced. This was because they were already sick of putting on makeup since they always had to put on so much low grade cosmetics which made them looked even worse than ghosts. Following which, Mo Wuji walked into the city and the bustling of the city brought Mo Wuji back to the days where he brought Yan¡¯Er around the streets of Rao Zhou. After turning at a few corners of the city, Mo Wuji followed Nong Shuyi into a place filled with women. Only after reaching here did Mo Wuji finally realised what Nong Shuyi meant by a quiet and peaceful place. This was a red light district and all the women here were wearing revealing clothes, sprayed with perfume and had a face full of cosmetics. With every man that walked in here, a group of ladies would be dragging him around. "Juan Juan, why did you bring a man back today? Where is your sister?" Just as Nong Shuyi walked past this street, she was greeted by many as she was evidently rather popular here. Nong Shuyi greeted every single one of them with a face full of smiles. Mo Wuji sighed because one must know that Nong Shuyi was actually a Worldly Immortal Stage expert which was also a Immortal King in the mortal world. Even the greatest king in the mortal world had to kneel down in front of her so who would have thought she would be so friendly with the prostitutes here and even treated herself like one of them. "Do you look down on the women here?" Nong Shuyi suddenly asked. Mo Wuji shook his head because if there was one person in Zhen Xing who wouldn¡¯t despise mortals, that would definitely be him. He was originally from Earth and was a mortal. Even if he had cultivated till the True God Stage Level 10, he still didn¡¯t have any spiritual roots and was still not able to open his spirit channels. He was only able to cultivate because he managed to open his meridians using his own technique. "They are actually very pitiful because behind the smiles of these women are all sorrowful tears. There are not many sisters here who could live for long while even Wan¡¯Er and myself had to change residences once every decade¡­" Nong Shuyi stopped talking at this point as she seemed to have stirred up her own feelings. She brought Mo Wuji into a small, dark alley before reaching a house. After opening the door, it was dark and wet inside with only two beds, a table and two chairs. Nong Shuyi walked to one of the chair, dusted it before turning to Mo Wuji and said, "This was Wan¡¯Er¡¯s chair and it has been many years since I saw her¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know how to console Nong Shuyi so he remained silent. After a few minutes, Nong Shuyi finally let go and said to Mo Wuji, "Wan¡¯Er was a Rebirther¡­" Even though Mo Wuji had already guessed that the Poison Fairy was like himself, Mo Wuji was still shocked, "And how did you know?" "She had memories of her past life the moment she was born and if it was not for the Broken Sect, I wouldn¡¯t need cultivate and we could have led a peaceful and blissful life¡­" Nong Shuyi seemed like she was explaining to Mo Wuji but felt like she was murmuring to herself too as her voice had traces of memories, "Until one day, a man called Zhu Qu came to our house and brought the both of us away. After the two of us were brought away, our parents died mysteriously." "Is that Zhu Qu the sect head of the Broken Sect?" Mo Wuji interrupted and asked. Nong Shuyi nodded her head, "Yes, he is the sect head of the Broken Sect. He had a cultivation technique called the Soul Refining Technique and his soul refinement was extremely terrifying. From what I heard, nobody in the entire Zhen Xing had a greater primordial spirit and soul than him which was why he could even challenge experts who were on an entire different level of cultivation as he was. Back when he was only in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he killed an Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was in shock when he heard of this because after refining his own cultivation technique and opening 106 meridians, he could easily kill Worldly Immortal Stage experts too. However, for a Worldly Immortal Stage expert to kill an Earthly Immortal Stage expert was a completely different capability. Perhaps when he reached the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he could kill an Earthly Immortal too but this was only a slight possibility. "In the process of cultivating the Soul Refining Technique, he had to constantly swallow primordial spirit and soul. The irony of this technique was that to make this technique stronger and advance quicker, one needed the purest soul and primordial spirit. And the only way to be pure, he needed to swallow a person¡¯s soul and primordial spirit to cultivate." At this moment, Nong Shuyi¡¯s eyes were slightly red, "Other than this, to transform the Soul Refining Technique into a sacred technique, he needed a Rebirther¡¯s soul and primordial spirit¡­ Zhu Qu had the capability to detect a Rebirther¡¯s soul and primordial spirit because other than their stronger soul and primordial spirit, it also fulfill the needs of Zhu Qu¡¯s cultivation of his Soul Refining Technique¡­" "So Zhu Qu constantly swallowed Wan¡¯Er soul and primordial spirit to cultivate and then constantly used top grade treasures to help her recover her soul so as to let him cultivate again?" Mo Wuji seemed to have a little more understanding of the situation now. Nong Shuyi¡¯s tears couldn''t help but fell, "It was true that he used Wan¡¯Er¡¯s soul and primordial spirit to cultivate however, for every spiritual herb that was used to recover her soul, Wan¡¯Er had to exchange it with contributions. He told Wan¡¯Er that as long as he managed to cultivate successfully, he would return Wan¡¯Er and my freedom. Because of this hope that he gave, Wan¡¯Er was working insanely hard for the Broken Sect. Wan¡¯Er¡¯s aptitude was much better than mine but every time she was about to advance into the next stage, part of her soul and primordial spirit would be swallowed by Zhu Qu so she had no choice but to continue to work hard. After so many years, her ability was still far away from mine¡­ It could be said that after entering the Broken Sect, Wan¡¯Er suffered so badly that perhaps her death was actually extricating her from her sufferings¡­" Mo Wuji kept quiet because he initially thought the shyness she displayed was an act but it was only because she still held onto a tiny hope to live which was why she would work so hard for the Broken Sect. If it was any other person going through such torture, they would have gave up long ago. Chapter 371: Broken Sects Sect Head Chapter 371: Broken Sect''s Sect Head Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The reason why she desperately wanted to live, was because she had two wishes. One was to pass you her cultivation technique. The other was, she was very lonely¡­" Mo Wuji looked at Nong Shuyi in confusion; what did these two wishes mean? Nong Shuyi continued, "Even though I''m her older sister, it''s always been her who took care of me. Deep in her heart, she was always very lonely, because she didn''t have any true friends. She thought since you were a Rebirther like her, the two of you should be the same breed of people, and that the two of you could be friends. Secondly, in her previous life, she possessed the most powerful cultivation technique, and this technique was meant for Rebirthers. She didn''t have a chance to cultivate it, so she wanted to leave it for you. When I was very young, she was taken away by Zhu Qu. Thereafter, she cultivated Broken Sect''s cultivation technique. Once one started with Broken Sect''s cultivation technique, one couldn¡¯t stop. Otherwise, one¡¯s soul and body would be burnt from the inside. Similarly, once one started on Broken Sect''s technique, one wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate any other techniques." "What a coincidence?" Mo Wuji was increasingly filled with doubts. It was already amazing that Nong Shuwan could be rebirthed, but she actually possessed a cultivation technique specifically for Rebirthers. Nong Shuyi shook her head, "It''s not a coincidence. It''s because Wan¡¯Er obtained that technique, that she decided to rebirth." "You say that she could choose to rebirth?" Mo Wuji suddenly stood up, and he even grabbed Nong Shuyi''s shoulders. His heart was too agitated. Nong Shuyi sighed, "I know what you''re asking for. But this could not be done by a second person. In her previous life, Wan¡¯Er possessed the Reincarnation Meridian. For someone who possessed the Reincarnation Meridian, and also held the Reincarnation Fruit, one would have a 60% chance of rebirthing. And after one rebirthed, there is still a 50% chance of recovering one¡¯s memories." "Reincarnation Meridian and Reincarnation Fruit?" Mo Wuji instantly furrowed his brows; he had never heard of them before. He had opened 106 meridians, but he didn''t have that Reincarnation Meridian. As for the Reincarnation Fruit, he was a Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner but he hadn''t heard of it. "You don''t need to think about it. Even Wan¡¯Er herself didn''t know what the Reincarnation Meridian and the Reincarnation Fruit are. She didn¡¯t recover her complete set of her memories but she guessed that they aren''t things of this world," Nong Shuyi said. Mo Wuji''s heart sank. After some time, he asked, so did your sister Wan¡¯Er have a chance to rebirth again?" Nong Shuyi shook her head, "If I''m not wrong, she shouldn''t have. In this world, there should also be reincarnation, but even if Wan¡¯Er reincarnated, she wouldn''t be the same Wan¡¯Er in this life. Because, her memories would have completely disappeared. She would be a complete stranger." Mo Wuji went silent; Shuyin would not have a chance to rebirth. After settling things here, he must send Shuyin to her mother before heading into space. "Then what is Zhu Qu''s cultivation level?" A burst of killing intent suddenly erupted in Mo Wuji''s heart as the strong urge to kill Broken Sect''s Sect Head Zhu Qu appeared in his mind. It seemed like he wanted to do it for himself, but it also seemed like it wanted to do it for his fellow Rebirther, Poison Fairy. "I guess that if he is still not an Earthly Immortal but he should be close to one. But his abilities are definitely that of an Earthly Immortal expert, he could even rival those in the intermediate Earthly Immortal Stage. Also¡­" Nong Shuyi paused with a bit of uncertainty, then she continued, "Even though your ice cannon is strong, but if he''s in Broken Gate, then I''m afraid that you wouldn''t be able to do much damage to him. I heard that he uses an immortal equipment. Under normal circumstances, he would confine himself in his immortal equipment and no one would be able to do a thing to him." "Immortal equipment?" This was Mo Wuji''s first time hearing that someone possessed an immortal equipment. Then he recalled Cen Shuyin''s Typhoon Formula; it was an Immortal Grade cultivation technique. Mo Wuji extended his hand and said, "Why don''t you let me take a look at your wrist. Exactly what technique are you cultivating¡­" Mo Wuji did not finish his sentence before he suddenly took a step forward. Embracing Nong Shuyi, the two of them transformed into a gentle breeze and disappeared. Nong Shuyi was startled and she even wanted to immediately resist. However, before she couldn''t resist, she felt ripples of energy in the surroundings. She immediately calmed down. Only now, did she feel the dense murderous aura permeating through the air. "Boom!" A horrifying explosions resounded. As she was carried by Mo Wuji into mid air, Nong Shuyi saw the house that she used to stay in disintegrate into ash. That explosion did not stop there as it continued to extend endlessly. All the people that were living in this town were immediately devoured within that endlessly extending explosion. Cries of agony could be heard, but that violent explosion continued to expand. Two trails of tears flowed out the corners of Nong Shuyi''s eyes. She was different from other Worldly Immortals. This was the place where she and her younger sister, Wan¡¯Er, stayed. It was a place filled with ordinary mortals. To her, when comparing these mortals with cultivators, these mortals were much purer and kinder. And now, all of these people were suddenly killed because of her. This quiet abode had now transformed into a barren wasteland. From the vestiges of the destruction, she saw the friendly Sister Lu get blasted into two pieces, she saw the Aunt Feng, who helped her fend off rogues, got sent flying by a meteoric debri¡­ However, she was helpless. Even though she was a Worldly Immortal, she was still helpless. If Mo Wuji did not help her escape, she would have been among them. The only difference was, she would have been injured and not killed. "So you truly have some ability, to actually detect my arrival. No wonder why you could kill more than ten people from my Broken Sect, exterminate the Yan Clan, and even eliminate Xia Dandao." A man with a gentle and warm voice appeared in front of Mo Wuji and Nong Shuyi. Even though this person wasn''t specially releasing his aura, his strong natural aura was still able to cause Mo Wuji to feel unbearable. Mo Wuji let go of Nong Shuyi, opened his hand, and Tian Ji Pole appeared in his palms. He did not say anything as he simply stared coldly at this person. This was an extremely handsome man. He even caused Mo Wuji to think of He Jianting from Lost Continent; they were both first-rate Adonis. The man stood a few meters away from Mo Wuji with his hands behind his back. He did not exude any violent elemental energy ripples but Mo Wuji knew that this person''s power was terrifying. Mo Wuji estimated, he should not be an opponent for this man. "He is Broken Sect''s Sect Head Zhu Qu..." Even though Nong Shuyi''s cultivation was higher than Mo Wuji, she subconsciously took a few steps back and stood behind Mo Wuji. "If you stayed quietly as the Star Lord and didn''t come and offend me, then perhaps you might have lived a little longer. But of course it would have only been a little longer. By the time I found out that Poison Fairy was killed by you, I would have still killed you. As for the Star King Mountain, I will raze it to the ground. Since it dared to offend my Broken Sect, then it doesn''t need to exist," The man who Nong Shuyi called Zhu Qu had a calm tone, with no hint of anger. Mo Wuji laughed coldly. This fella surely knew how to brag, to actually say that he would destroy Star King Mountain. Even though Star King Mountain had deteriorated, it was still the number one power in Zhen Xing. A mere Broken Sect actually had quite big ambitions ah. "If I''m not wrong, you should know the fundamentals of space, right? I give you two options. One, hand over your space fundamentals manual, then commit suicide in front of me. Two, I kill you, extract your soul, then take your storage ring." Hearing Zhu Qu''s words, Mo Wuji looked at Nong Shuyi doubtfully. Didn''t Nong Shuyi say that Zhu Qu could detect the existence of Rebirthers? Mo Wuji was a Rebirther, but this fella did not seem to know it. Nong Shuyi did not wipe away her tears as she shouted harshly, "Zhu Qu, it''s enough that you kill me. Why must you kill so many innocent people? They are all ordinary mortals, you animal¡­" Zhu Qu laughed emotionlessly, "Looks like you no longer fear Broken Sect. Did you think that just because you found the Star Lord to be your backer, you''re very amazing? To actually mix around with a group of ants, how disgraceful. Now that Poison Fairy is dead, there''s no longer any point in you. Die then¡­" Zhu Qu didn''t finish his words before he already took a step forward and swatted towards Nong Shuyi. How could Mo Wuji let Nong Shuyi get killed in front of him, his Tian Ji Pole transformed into boundless pole shadows and swung forward. "Boom!" Elemental energy clashed. Mo Wuji felt an unfathomable pressure bounding towards him. His chest tightened and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. "Hurry and go!" Mo Wuji shouted towards Nong Shuyi, his entire body retreating backwards. Nong Shuyi knew that she wasn''t of help to Mo Wuji, so she followed him and retreated. However, she didn''t retreat far. "Eh!" Zhu Qu did not chase after them. In reality, he had only used half of his power in that previous strike, so he wasn''t afraid that Mo Wuji would escape from him. "You''re not only in the Extreme Mortal Stage, you''re also in the Extreme Earth Stage, and you even cultivated past True God Stage Level 9?" As Zhu Qu spoke, he gazed towards Mo Wuji with greater fervour. He could not tell that Mo Wuji was a Rebirther, but in that previous exchange, he could detect the Extreme spirit halos in Mo Wuji''s body. When she heard that Mo Wuji was only in the True God Stage, Nong Shuyi was dumbfounded. A True God actually managed to wreck her in seconds. Even if she wasn''t very strong, she was still an expert at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3 ah. She then turned towards Zhu Qu and a sense of loss brewed in her heart. Even though she wanted to train and cultivate to higher levels, so that she could help Wan¡¯Er, in reality, no matter how high she climbed, she wasn''t even stronger than a True God. Whether it was Mo Wuji, or Zhu Qu, they were both much stronger than her. Moreover, this Mo Wuji was in the Extreme Mortal Stage and Extreme Earth Stage, a realm that countless cultivators could only dream for. Anyone that could reach an Extreme Stage was already a peerless genius. However, Mo Wuji actually attained the Extreme Stage in both the Mortal and Earth Realms. Nong Shuyi did not like talking to and interacting with other cultivators, so she did not know that when compared to a majority of Worldly Immortals, she was already very strong. However, she had to compare herself with Mo Wuji and Zhu Qu. Naturally, she would suffer a huge setback. Mo Wuji stared at Zhu Qu, then whispered towards Nong Shuyi, "Dao Friend Nong, this person definitely isn''t in the Worldly Immortal Stage; he is definitely an Earthly Immortal expert. However, he is still a bit lacking if he hopes to trap the two of us here today. Listen to me, later I will engage him. You will escape immediately; head west and run. I will catch up to you shortly, then bring you along with me. Remember, do not resist, and do not think of helping me¡­" After Mo Wuji finished these words, his Tian Ji Pole, once again, transformed into waves of pole shadows which flooded towards Zhu Qu.So what if he was an Earthly Immortal? He should forget about trying to trap Mo Wuji. Chapter 372: Star King Mountains Anger Chapter 372: Star King Mountain''s Anger Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At the same time that Mo Wuji attacked, Nong Shuyi turned and left. She chose to believe in Mo Wuji. Even though she was at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3, in front of Zhu Qu, she truly didn''t have any means of resistance. Seeing that Mo Wuji dared to take the initiative to attack him, Zhu Qu laughed maniacally. He had seen wild and arrogant before, but to be honest, this was his first time seeing someone as wild and arrogant as Mo Wuji. No matter how amazing Mo Wuji was, he was still a mere True God Stage ant, yet he dared to attack. One must know that when Zhu Qu was in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, he was able to kill an Earthly Immortal Elementary Stage expert. Now that he was in the Earthly Immortal Elementary Stage himself, even a cultivator at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage wouldn''t be able to handle him. Now a tiny True God dared to act against him? Zhu Qu couldn''t even be bothered to bring out his magic treasure as he took a step forward and welcomed Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole. "Phoom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s pole shadow easily dispersed in front of Zhu Qu; Zhu Qu opened his palm wide, and grabbed towards Mo Wuji. A tremendous flux of elemental energy morphed into a huge domain; Mo Wuji was sealed within the domain. If Mo Wuji had spirit channels, he would feel that all his spirit channels instantly seizing up. Zhu Qu had great confidence in this move of his. There¡¯s no need to say that Mo Wuji was merely in the True God Stage. Even if Mo Wuji was in the Worldly Immortal Stage, with this move of his, Mo Wuji would no longer be able to use any elemental energy. This move of his would disrupt the flow of spiritual energy within the region; causing his opponent to be unable to generate elemental energy, seizing up his opponent¡¯s spirit channels. Unfortunately, his opponent was not as he had expected. Mo Wuji was indeed a cultivator at True God Stage Level 10, but he didn¡¯t have a single spiritual channel in him, he didn¡¯t even have spiritual roots, nor a primordial spirit. The reason why Mo Wuji could cultivate, was because he created the method of cultivating through meridians. Just as Zhu Qu was sure that Mo Wuji would fall under his move, he soon felt that something was amiss. He felt a hint of killing intent emerge from behind his skull. If not for his attainments with Space Dao, and if not for the fact that he was way stronger than Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t even have noticed this bit of killing intent. Instantly, Zhu Qu¡¯s figure was forcefully blasted by 30 over meters; an elemental energy wall had defended against that deadly move. "Peng!" When Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole struck against an elemental energy wall, Mo Wuji immediately knew that his Next Pole had failed to hit his target. From the time that Mo Wuji gained insights of the Nirvana Pole Shadow to now, this was his first failure. Previously, in his battle with Gong Yejian, his Next Pole also didn¡¯t hit his target. However, Mo Wuji knew that it was due to Gong Yejian¡¯s good luck. Sometimes, his Next Pole might go off target. Moreover, he hadn¡¯t concentrated all his efforts in dealing with that fella. However, he had used all his power to deal with this Zhu Qu. Still, Zhu Qu managed to detect it and avoid it. His Next Pole had been rendered ineffective. Mo Wuji did not falter as he opened his palm and shot out a lightning web. At the same time, his figure disappeared from its original location. The difference in their strengths was too wide, continuing would only lead to his death. "Boom!" At the instant that Mo Wuji disappeared, an huge beam of light descended upon his previous location. At the next instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning web netted Zhu Qu. "Crackle!" After a brief moment, Zhu Qu¡¯s figure appeared in mid air. Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning web merely charred the tips of his hair, it didn¡¯t even leave a crease on his robes. Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning web wasn¡¯t even enough to break through Zhu Qu¡¯s elemental energy armour. At this instant, Zhu Qu had an ugly expression on his face. Just now, he had used one of his most confident moves to deal with Mo Wuji, but it wasn¡¯t even enough to cause Mo Wuji to lose a single hair. This left him extremely pissed. Zhu Qu¡¯s figure flashed and he also disappeared from his original location. The direction he was moving in, was exactly the direction that Mo Wuji disappeared in. His heart was continuously getting shocked. Exactly what cultivation technique did Mo Wuji cultivate? His skill was actually unable to cause Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit channels to jam? One must know that the skill he had just used was even able to cause seizures in experts stronger than him. Nong Shuyi, who was in the midst of a frantic escape, suddenly felt that someone had appeared beside her. Before she could react, that person had already grabbed her, and they both disappeared. Luckily, Mo Wuji had briefed her about this beforehand. Even though she was shocked that Mo Wuji could actually use instantaneous teleportation, she still managed to retain her calm. Mo Wuji embraced Nong Shuyi, and continuously used teleportation. As he pursued them, Zhu Qu had a face of derision and contempt. Mo Wuji¡¯s continuous teleportation was indeed able to stall him temporarily. However, no matter how godly Mo Wuji was, he couldn¡¯t use it for a long period without rest. Even though Zhu Qu didn¡¯t know teleportation, he knew that teleportation would heavily deplete one¡¯s elemental energy and spiritual will. Two hours passed and Zhu Qu¡¯s face started to change. He actually felt that the distance between him and Mo Wuji was getting further. He could only use the spatial ripples from Mo Wuji¡¯s teleportation to discern the direction that Mo Wuji ran off too. He could only imagine, the moment their distance reached a certain extent, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to detect these spatial ripples. The moment he lost these spatial ripples, he would no longer be able to track Mo Wuji. How was this possible? Even though Mo Wuji was in the Extreme Mortal Stage, and the Extreme Earth Stage, causing his elemental energy to far exceed an average person, it still shouldn¡¯t be this exaggerated right? He could continuously use teleportation for two hours? What kind of illogical elemental energy did he have? Mo Wuji knew that besides using teleportation continuously, there were no other ways he could get rid of Zhu Qu¡¯s tail. It wasn¡¯t because continuous teleportation was faster than Zhu Qu, but because the traces he left behind after each teleportation were hard to decipher. If Zhu Qu wanted to pursue him, he would need to stop and analyse the spatial ripples, then he could continue the chase. This way, he was able to pull the distance between him and Zhu Qu apart. Reality showed that his actions were right. Zhu Qu and him continued to drift further apart, and eventually, Zhu Qu was no longer in the range of his spiritual will. Mo Wuji did not relax yet, as he continued to use his teleportation. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation was limited; at each teleportation, he could only travel a distance of around 30 meters. However, this was enough for Mo Wuji. As for Zhu Qu¡¯s idea that Mo Wuji would soon exhaust his spiritual will and elemental energy, it might work for others, but it was totally useless for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji possessed an extremely vast sea of consciousness, and he even had a huge violet elemental lake. He could even use this kind of teleportation for half a day straight. Mo Wuji was confident of his own powers; while he wasn¡¯t able to beat an Earthly Immortal expert, when it comes to escaping, no one would be able to chase after him. Another two hours passed. Mo Wuji no longer teleported but changed to his Wind Escape Technique. He travelled continuously for another day, before bringing out his flying ship. "You actually managed to escape from Zhu Qu¡¯s hands?" Nong Shuyi landed heavily in Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship, a look of utter surprise was plastered on her face. In her heart, Zhu Qu was an existence akin to God. In this world, no one was able to beat Zhu Qu. But today, Mo Wuji who was only in the True God Stage, was actually able to survive from Zhu Qu¡¯s pursuit. He was even able to carry her along. What sort of sorcery was this? Mo Wuji shook his head. Even though Zhu Qu¡¯s cultivation was much higher than his, but to him, it wasn¡¯t anything spectacular. Was fleeing something very impressive? "I suspect that there¡¯s a problem with your cultivation technique. Maybe, Zhu Qu used your cultivation technique to locate us previously," After Mo Wuji met with Zhu Qu, he knew that this fella was an extremely fierce and ambitious man. He wanted to battle with Zhu Qu one-on-one, but he should forget about it in the short term. Nong Shuyi did not rebut, but nodded, "You¡¯re right. There¡¯s indeed a problem with my cultivation technique. Actually, everyone in Broken Sect has the same problem." "Pass your hand to me," Mo Wuji once again extended his hand. Nong Shuyi did not reject. Actually, she wouldn¡¯t have cared if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t save her. She was willing to listen to Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions to escape together because she didn¡¯t want to end up in Zhu Qu¡¯s hands. She also knew that Mo Wuji wanted to study her cultivation technique. For a person like her who was supposed to have died, she didn¡¯t really mind what Mo Wuji was going to do. Mo Wuji was different from other people; he had the Spirit Storage Channel. He could use the spiritual will from his Spirit Storage Channel to permeate into Nong Shuyi¡¯s spirit channels. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t as familiar with spirit channels as with meridians. However, his understandings towards meridians exceeded an average person, and the slight difference between a meridian and a spiritual channel was only in the way they were formed. In merely half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was able to identify the problem with the spiritual energy in Nong Shuyi¡¯s spirit channels. This spiritual energy seemed very pure, but it seemed to contain some medicinal properties. From Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, this should be left by the Spirit Channel Formation Pill mentioned by Nong Shuyi. Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique should not be perfect; Zhu Qu should have used the Spirit Channel Formation Pill to improve the cultivation technique. At the same time, he used this method to control everyone in Broken Sect. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji suddenly said, "Dao Friend Nong, I have a method to get rid of the problems with the Spirit Channel Formation Pill. However, after I do it, you might die, or lose a huge part of your cultivation." Nong Shuyi was not even the least bit happy, with a desolate voice, she said, "If you wish to use elemental energy to expel the pill energy from my spirit channels, then you should forget about it. Because everyone who did that, have already perished. As long as I cultivated the Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique, the Spirit Channel Formation Pill¡¯s pill energy will stay permanently in my spirit channels, with no means of expelling it." Mo Wuji smiled faintly; others might not be able to do it, but that did not mean that he couldn¡¯t. In reality, the pill energy in Nong Shuyi¡¯s spirit channels was similar to the Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual will imprint. He could use his Scholar¡¯s Heart to erase the Broken Sect¡¯s spiritual will imprint, so he could do the same for the pill energy. The only problem was, after he removed the Spirit Channel Formation Pill¡¯s pill energy, what would Nong Shuyi do in the future? Without a new cultivation technique, Nong Shuyi¡¯s body will still get burned by Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. "Could you explain to me Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. Mo Wuji was, after all, a master-level existence who created the meridian cultivation method, and he even created the reverse circulation technique of the Immortal Mortal Technique. So why couldn¡¯t he help Nong Shuyi with her cultivation problem? "Ok," Nong Shuyi did not have a single bit of hesitation as she immediately started to describe her cultivation methods. ¡­ At the same time in Star King Mountain. Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Mo Wuji was not present. The Yan Clan and Xia Clan had both been exterminated, Wu Xiang Hall¡¯s hall master had not yet returned from space, and Star Flame Hall Master Chu Fengyi and Star Trace Hall Master Wu Lingzhi had perished. At this instant, besides a few elders and defenders, there were only four hall masters in Star King Mountain, including Su Xuan. "Broken Sect is merely an assassin¡¯s guild. My Star King Mountain had always turned a blind eye to their misdeeds, but now they¡¯re actually so daring as to publicly issue a wanted notice for my Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Various hall masters and elders, what do you say?" As Su Xuan spoke, she exuded a sharp killing aura. Clearly, she was infuriated by the actions of Broken Sect. When she first got notice of this news, she was still in Universal Hall. After she confirmed that Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord was being pursued by the Broken Sect, Su Xuan immediately gathered everyone back to Star King Mountain. Broken Sect had actually publicly issued a wanted notice for Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Since when had the Star King Mountain fallen so far? A person actually wanted to apprehend the Star Lord, and he was actually from an unreputable assassin¡¯s guild. This was simply too preposterous. Chapter 373: The Two Strongest Sects In Zhen Xing Chapter 373: The Two Strongest Sects In Zhen Xing Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What''s there left to talk about, let''s just remove Broken Sect from the face of Zhen Xing. This sect has always been an eyesore, and when Zhen Xing was at its most dangerous moment, I''ve never seen them dispatching people to help in Zhen Xing''s effort. Today, they even listed a public wanted notice for my Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. If we don''t destroy that sect, then we should just give up on our name as Star King Mountain," A golden haired youth spoke angrily This was Star King Mountain''s ninth hall, Star Gazing Hall Master Luo Yuchen. His cultivation was at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, and he was originally a subordinate of Chi Tong. In reality, he had suggested many years ago to eradicate Broken Sect. However, Star Lord Chi Tong always thought that there was a purpose in its existence, so this matter had been left to rest. Today, the Broken Sect had made their appearance again, then they even listed a public wanted notice for Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. This thoroughly pissed Luo Yuchen off. "I agree with Hall Master Luo''s words. Our Star King Mountain controls millions of soldiers in our cultivator armies. A mere Broken Sect dares to act so arrogantly, it''s simply courting death." Naturally, Yan Ze did not hesitate to express his agreement. Now that three hall masters had stood forward, the remaining defenders and elders each stood forward and expressed their agreement to eradicate the Broken Sect. They definitely could not allow Broken Sect to remain so arrogantly in Zhen Xing. Su Xuan nodded. Ever since two of the three great clans had been destroyed by Mo Wuji, Star King Mountain had become much more united. It was even more cohesive than when there were ten halls. Even though there was still the Mou Clan''s Hall Master Gu Qiao, after the descent of Yan Clan and Xia Clan, Gu Qiao had toned down, and during normal circumstances, he would follow along. "Alright. Our Star King Mountain must definitely pull ourselves back together. This time, I announce that Star King Mountain will rally all our forces for this effort. No matter where Broken Sect is hiding in, we will pull the Broken Sect out from their roots, leave no man alive¡­" Su Xuan stood up and said resolutely. "Wait¡­" A hoarse, elderly voice interrupted Su Xuan''s words. When Su Xuan and co. noticed that the person speaking was Chi Huo¡¯Er, they all quietened down and waited for Chi Huo''Er to speak. After all, Chi Huo''Er was the former Star Lord Chi Tong''s right hand man, and he had also helped the current Star Lord Mo Wuji in a recent effort, by razing the Xia Clan to the ground. Moreover, Chi Huo''Er''s cultivation was also at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5. Even though he didn''t control any army, no one dead to disrespect Chi Huo''Er. "I suggest that we first find the Star Lord. As for the matter of eradicating Broken Sect, it''s best that we delay it till after we find the Star Lord¡­" Chi Huo''Er''s tone was steady, bringing with it a form of seriousness and certainty. Su Xuan instantly furrowed her brows and said discontentedly, "Manager Chi, Star Lord Mo is the strongest Star Lord in Zhen Xing''s history, he could even be said to be the most qualified Star Lord. I believe that you''ve seen the Star King Mountain''s Mortal King Board and Earth King Board? From these two boards, how many experts were born? Moreover, Star Lord Mo could be said to be the first person in history to get Rank 1 on both the Mortal King Board and the Earth King Board. Also, Star Lord Mo is also Rank 2 on the Universal Board. After much difficulty, we managed to get Star Lord Mo to agree to be our Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. If the experts from Broken Sect surround and kill him, then what''s the use of our Star King Mountain?" It wasn''t just Su Xuan, almost everyone else looked at Chi Huo''Er in discontent. Everyone was roughly thinking the same thing: You, as the manager, should be the first one to lead the charge to eradicate Broken Sect. But not only didn''t you support it, you even suggested against it. What¡¯s the point of a manager like you for the Star Lord? Chi Huo''Er sighed and said, "Everyone only knows one thing, but is ignorant of the others. Let me ask, what does everyone understand of the Broken Sect? What does everyone understand of Broken Sect''s sect head?" Hearing Chi Huo''Er''s questions, the crowd sank into silence. For a small sect like the Broken Sect, no one really cared about it, much less try to understand it. It''s just a mere assassins guild; any time the Star King Mountain wanted to eradicate it, it could be eradicated at any time. Chi Huo''Er sighed once more, "Everyone believes that the strongest sect in Zhen Xing should be our Star King Mountain right? That''s right, our Star King Mountain is indeed ahead of Broken Sect. But, the strongest sect in Zhen Xing isn''t our Star King Mountain." "..." Everyone, including Su Xuan, stared at Chi Huo''Er in confusion. Was he having a fever and spouting nonsense? Even though there were internal disputes within Star King Mountain, it was undoubtedly the number one sect in Zhen Xing. Since when did Star King Mountain lose their place as Zhen Xing''s number one sect? After some time, Su Xuan finally stood up, clasping her fists towards Chi Huo''Er, "Manager Chi, please tell us more." Even though Chi Huo''Er''s cultivation was not the highest among those sitting here, Chi Huo''Er was indeed qualified to teach and guide them. Chi Huo''Er was the oldest here, and the Star Lords that he had served were not merely Chi Tong and Wu Lingzhi. Even before Chi Tong, he had followed another Star Lord. One could say, in Zhen Mo Continent, it was hard to find another person older than Chi Huo''Er. Chi Huo''Er continued with his hoarse, old voice, "A long time ago, there were two supreme sects in Zhen Xing¡­" As many people were wondering whether these two sects were Broken Sect and Star King Mountain, Chi Huo''Er suddenly said, "One of them was called Tian Ji Sect. Tian Ji Sect bore Heaven¡¯s destiny [1], possessed peerless dao manuals, and their sect head, Tian Ji¡¯Zi, was a hero of his generation with exceedingly strong power¡­" Everyone glanced towards one another; what kind of sect was Tian Ji Sect, it seemed like none of them had heard of it before. Since everyone had never heard of it, they naturally continued to listen to Chi Huo''Er''s explanation. "The other sect was called Reincarnation Dao Sect. This sect was no weaker than Tian Ji Sect, and Reincarnation Dao Sect''s history was even longer than Tian Ji Sect. Tian Ji Sect was only established by Tian Ji¡¯Zi himself. One day, Tian Ji Sect and Reincarnation Dao Sect were clashing over a piece of immortal equipment, and during that clash, Tian Ji Sect''s Sect Head Tian Ji¡¯Zi killed Reincarnation Dao Sect''s genius and outstanding Sect Head Zhu Nanshan, snatching away that immortal equipment." When they heard this, almost everyone exhaled a breath of cold air. Immortal equipment, this was a thing of legends, an item of the Immortal Realm. Even in the Immortal Realm, it was still a legendary existence. Even though there were a handful of Worldly Immortals here, everyone knew that while they were called Worldly Immortals, they were still 108,000 li away from actual immortals. [2] Being called Worldly Immortals was simply a form of consolation. Because out of 90% of people who actually cultivated to this stage met a dead end, finding it hard to progress any further, much less break through the void. They never expected that an immortal equipment had appeared on Zhen Xing, and there were even two big sects that went to war because of that immortal equipment. By this time, everyone became even more silent and listened to Chi Huo''Er''s words. "After Zhu Nanshan was killed, Tian Ji''Zi did not simply leave Reincarnation Dao Sect to be. After all, over the years, Tian Ji Sect had suffered several times under the hands of Reincarnation Dao Sect. What was originally one of the two greatest sects in Zhen Xing, Reincarnation Dao Sect was actually eradicated." When Chi Huo''Er got to this point, he started shaking his head, "It would have been fine if Tian Ji''Zi did things in a clear-cut manner. However, Tian Ji''Zi wasn''t clear-cut; he allowed Zhu Nanshan''s female slave to survive. That female slave was even pregnant with Zhu Nanshan''s flesh and blood." All those that heard this could guess that Tian Ji Sect should have been destroyed my Zhu Nanshan''s descendant, because they have never heard of this Tian Ji Sect. "That female slave secretly gave birth to Zhu Nanshan''s flesh and blood, naming him Zhu Fu. There were two meanings behind Zhu Fu¡¯s name. [3] One was to rebuild Reincarnation Dao Sect, the other was to avenge Zhu Nanshan. That Zhu Fu''s talent was exceptional; despite not having any cultivation resources, he managed to cultivate to become a supreme expert in a mere hundreds of years. But right at this moment, the Lost Continent, where Tian Ji Sect was situated in, experienced an unforeseen disaster. That disaster crippled and killed the heroes and geniuses of Lost Continent. Those that didn''t die, fled off the Lost Continent and headed towards Zhen Mo Continent¡­" Only now, did everyone know that the two sects of Chi Huo''Er''s story were from the Lost Continent. "Even though Zhu Fu''s cultivation was exceedingly high, he was unable to escape misfortune. Even the natural laws of Lost Continent had been broken. Naturally, he did not escape unscathed as he lost his cultivation. Even so, he still dragged his heavily injured body and survived. Even though he was once at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage and was at the brink of breaking through the void, without his cultivation, he could only head towards the mortal world. Ever since Zhu Fu was born, he only knew how to cultivate. How would he know how to make a living to survive? After losing his cultivation, and to hide the fact that he was once a cultivator, he had to do hard, menial work. However, he did not dare about this; he only wanted to have a son, and pass on all his legacies to his son. Unfortunately, after he lost his cultivation, he also lost his ability to procreate. Luckily, his longevity was strong, and he managed to live on for thousands of years. These thousands of years were not spent on nothing, at least he managed to find a Foetus Formation Fruit. When his life was about to reach an end, he met a mortal girl with supreme grade spiritual roots. Not only did that girl use her two hands to raise him, she even helped him give birth to a son using the Foetus Formation Fruit. Zhu Fu passed down everything he learnt onto his son, and his son¡¯s talent was even much stronger him. I even heard that they went back to the ruins of Reincarnation Dao Sect and found peerless and secret manuals relating to the Dao of Reincarnation¡­ When his son was only 7 years old, Zhu Fu ran out of his longevity, and perished." When Su Xuan listened to this story, her heart started pounding. She believed that Chi Huo''Er wouldn''t tell them these things for no apparent reason. Since Chi Huo''Er had said it, then there must be some link, "Manager Chi, what is the name of Zhu Fu''s son?" Chi Huo''Er''s seemingly hazy eyes suddenly seemed to light up, then it turned dim again, "His son is called Zhu Qu. When Zhu Qu reached the Yuan Dan Stage, he went to the already weakened Tian Ji Sect and slaughtered everyone there¡­" "Manager Chi, no matter how weak Tian Ji Sect had become, it couldn''t have been casually destroyed by a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator right?" Yan Ze asked in doubt. Chi Huo''Er nodded, "What you said is right. But that only applies to other people. Zhu Qu doesn¡¯t follow the same logic. When Zhu Qu was in the advanced Yuan Dan Stage, he could already kill True Lake Stage cultivators. The higher his cultivation, the stronger he becomes. He is very strong¡­" Seemingly not knowing the appropriate words to describe Zhu Qu, Chi Huo¡¯Er could only use one word: Strong. After a brief pause, Chi Huo¡¯Er continued, "Those years ago, Zhu Qu was still very young, so he doesn¡¯t know that a small part of Tian Ji Sect still survives now. After he destroyed Tian Ji Sect, he took away that immortal equipment, then returned back to the mortal city where he stayed with his mother. He massacred the entire city, not even a baby was left behind." "Why?" Su Xuan asked in aghast. Chi Huo"er replied, "Even though his mother obtained the support of many of her neighbours to survive, she had also suffered under the humiliation of many. All these were treated as a form of humiliation to him; he felt that these mortals have stained his existence. It didn¡¯t matter whether they had helped him, or whether they had insulted him; he killed all of them. "So vicious¡­" Even though the cultivators here do not think much of mortals, they also wouldn¡¯t be able to kill mortals that helped them. "Thereafter, he left Lost Continent and arrived at Zhen Mo Continent. He soon found a footing within an assassins guild, and he eventually became the sect head¡­ I believe everyone has already guessed it. He is Broken Sect¡¯s sect head, Zhu Qu," Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s tone was a little feeble." [1] Heaven¡¯s Destiny is actually the translation of Tian Ji. [2] 108,000 li is the distance that Sun Wukong traveled in the Journey to the West. [3] The ¡®Fu¡¯ in Zhu Fu¡¯s name has several meanings, one of which is to recover and restore; the other is to avenge or take revenge. Chapter 374: Mo Wujis Methods Chapter 374: Mo Wuji''s Methods Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Since he¡¯s such a vicious person, all the more he should be wiped out by our Star King Mountain," Yan Ze said immediately. It wasn¡¯t just Yan Ze, the others also wanted to wipe out the Broken Sect and get rid of Zhu Qu. So what if Zhu Qu was from the great Reincarnation Dao Sect? Since he dared to offend the Star King Mountain, he will still be killed. Chi Huo¡¯Er shook his head and muttered, "That assassins guild was originally like a plate of loose sand, anyone could go over and accept a mission. After Zhu Qu entered this assassins guild, he merely spent a year before he took control of the guild. As for what methods he used, no one really knows. I can only tell everyone some facts¡­" When Chi Huo¡¯Er got here, he specially took a pause. He waited till the crowd¡¯s attention was focused back on him, before he continued, "Those years ago, Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s Old Shrewd Yellow Sand was killed by him." These words of Chi Huo¡¯Er were like a bomb thrown into a calm river, splashing up a mist of water capable of covering the sky. There were few here who didn¡¯t know Old Shrewd Yellow Sand; he actually had another nickname called Old Queer Yellow Sand [1]. He was a person who did everything based on his instincts, an expert who didn¡¯t even consider the consequences. As long as he liked it, he would do it. He didn¡¯t need any other reason. Moreover, his Yellow Sand Technique was comparable to a sacred art. There were few in Zhen Xing who could be an opponent for him. At the same time, he was a true Earthly Immortal expert. It could be said that his cultivation was exceedingly high. Since Zhu Qu could kill an Earthly Immortal expert, did that mean that he was an Earthly Immortal too? "Manager Chi, could this information be wrong? Old Shrewd Yellow Sand had vanished 100 years ago. If Zhu Qu could kill Old Shrewd Yellow Sand, did that mean that Zhu Qu was already an Earthly Immortal 100 years ago?" Su Xuan asked doubtfully. Chi Huo¡¯Er sighed, "I also wish for this information to be wrong; I even wish that Zhu Qu was already an Earthly Immortal 100 years ago. In reality, this is an indisputable truth. And when Zhu Qu killed Old Shrewd Yellow Sand, he was only in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage¡­" Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air; they understood what Chi Huo¡¯Er was implying. If 100 years ago, Zhu Qu killed Old Shrewd Yellow Sand with a cultivation of an Earthly Immortal, albeit terrifying, it was still within their control. After all, killing a person in the same stage wasn¡¯t anything amazing. However, 100 years ago, Zhu Qu was merely in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, yet he could kill the Earthly Immortal Old Shrewd Yellow Sand. Now that 100 years had passed, then wouldn¡¯t Zhu Qu¡¯s cultivation be much higher? If Zhu Qu advanced into the Earthly Immortal Stage, and he had enough power to transcend stages, then who in Zhen Xing could be his opponent? Unless they could find an expert that had already broken through the void to deal with Zhu Qu? Chi Huo¡¯Er continued in a solemn tone, "The scene where Zhu Qu killed Old Shrewd Yellow Sand was personally witnessed by Star Lord Chi Tong. It was also then did Star Lord Chi Tong know that he possessed an immortal equipment. When Star Lord Chi Tong advanced into the Earthly Immortal Stage, he tried to find Zhu Qu, but during that encounter, he almost lost his life under Zhu Qu¡¯s hands¡­" Who didn¡¯t know Zhu Qu¡¯s power? Even though there were various factions within Star King Mountain, Chi Tong was undoubtedly the person with the highest cultivation in Star King Mountain. At this instant, everyone understood the situation; why Chi Huo¡¯Er did not permit everyone to deal with Zhu Qu; why Chi Tong was willing to let Broken Sect continue to exist; why Broken Sect could be so arrogant¡­ They could understand the helplessness and grievances in Star Lord Chi Tong¡¯s heart when he made that decision. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want to wipe out the Broken Sect, but because he didn¡¯t have the ability to. "In reality, Star Lord Chi Tong had always been trying to instigate a battle between the Broken Sect Head and the Space Wolf King. Unfortunately, all his efforts were to no avail. Not only was the Broken Sect Head Zhu Qu vicious and emotionless, he was also extremely cunning. In his eyes, there was nothing that should or should not be done; only things that were needed or weren¡¯t needed. Eventually, Star Lord Chi understood that he was unable to meet his goal, and he was even clearer that he would not be able to eradicate Zhu Qu himself. Thus, he started his quest to find the next generation¡¯s Star Lord¡­" When Chi Huo¡¯Er got to this point, realisation dawned onto the crowd. No wonder why¡­ Chi Tong was not considered old, in fact, he should be at his prime. However, he always talked about finding the next Star Lord. No wonder why Chi Tong wouldn¡¯t be stingy with any genius in Zhen Xing. Unfortunately, Lei Hongji was cold and emotionless; after he obtained some benefits, he no longer cared about Chi Tong. Before Chi Tong died, he chose Mo Wuji to be his successor; it wasn¡¯t simply because of Mo Wuji¡¯s outstanding talent, but because he hoped that Mo Wuji could lead Star King Mountain to contain Zhu Qu and the enliven Zhen Xing. "Then we should just allow Broken Sect to issue a wanted order for our Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord?" A defender furrowed his brows and said. Chi Huo¡¯Er knew that when Mo Wuji was not present, the one in charge was Su Xuan. He looked at Su Xuan and said, "We should leave the matter of the wanted notice aside for now. Hall Master Su, I believe that the most important thing we need to do is to find the Star Lord. Even though the Star Lord is young, he does things wisely and with an experienced hand. After we find the Star Lord, we will listen to the Star Lord¡¯s instructions." Su Xuan completely agreed with Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s words; she had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s experienced hands before. From the words of Solitary Red Knot and co., she had a better understanding of Mo Wuji¡¯s methods. From Mo Wuji¡¯s recapture of Universal hall, to the killing of Xia Dandao, to the eradication of the Xia Clan and Yan Clan¡­ Each step was carefully planned, and no mistakes occurred in the middle. Even the fact that Mo Wuji was being pursued by Broken Sect Head Zhu Qu was a cause of admiration. After they heard of Zhu Qu¡¯s impressiveness, who wouldn¡¯t admire Mo Wuji? Here, no one could dare say that they would turn out safe after a pursuit from Zhu Qu. Clearly, Mo Wuji had escaped safely, otherwise, Broken Sect wouldn¡¯t publicly issue a wanted order. "Alright, we will pull in all our efforts to find the Star Lord. After the Star Lord returns, we will unconditionally follow the Star Lord¡¯s instructions." Su Xuan resolutely decided on the only measure in this discussion. No one else objected to Su Xuan¡¯s decision. Zhu Qu was terrifyingly strong, without the Star Lord, no one dared to make a proper decision. Everyone here was a Worldly Immortal, but was a Worldly Immortal strong? 100 years ago, Zhu Qu could already kill an Earthly Immortal, so how much was a Worldly Immortal worth? ¡­ Nong Shuyi stared blankly at Mo Wuji. It had been six consecutive days. After Mo Wuji examined her spirit channels and listened to her description of her cultivation technique, he started to sit here in a daze, seemingly seriously considering of helping her solve the problem with her cultivation technique. Even though there were many instances where she wanted to talk to Mo Wuji, she was afraid that she would interrupt with his thoughts. As a cultivator, Nong Shuyu was very clear, when one was deeply absorbed into complex thoughts, a sudden interruption would be extremely harmful to one¡¯s soul. With Mo Wuji¡¯s current appearance, he seemed to have sunk into a deep layer of contemplation. Nong Shuyi sighed; she did not think that Mo Wuji could help her. There was no need to talk about Mo Wuji, even the strongest cultivator of Zhen Xing were to come here, as long as he was not the creator of Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique, he would never be able to solve this problem. Modifying a cultivation technique wasn¡¯t possible just because one had a high cultivation. There were too many elements and factors involved; it required one to have a deep understanding towards the fundamentals and origins of cultivation. Another two days passed. Nong Shuyi was no longer thinking about whether Mo Wuji could solve her problem with her cultivation technique, but worrying about whether Broken Sect¡¯s Zhu Qu would find them. At this time, Nong Shuyi suddenly felt the elemental energy in her spirit channels go into disorder. Thereafter, the temperature of this disordered elemental energy got higher and higher, and it even seemed like it was on fire. Once the spirit channels burnt up, that excruciating pain was not something that could be simply endured with willpower. Nong Shuyi¡¯s entire body started trembling, her face flushed red; she knew that she had reached her limit. Without the Spirit Channel Formation Pill, her cultivation would automatically combust. There was no way to stop it. She had experienced this once before. That time, Wan¡¯Er was out doing a mission and hadn¡¯t been able to return in time. She didn¡¯t have any contribution points so she wasn¡¯t able to exchange for a Spirit Channel Formation Pill. This time, Wan¡¯Er was already gone, and like the last time, she didn¡¯t have any Spirit Channel Formation Pills. She could only helplessly feel her spirit channels tear and burn. She really wanted to awake Mo Wuji, to bid her farewells to Mo Wuji. But when she saw Mo Wuji¡¯s look of contemplation, she endured it. Since she was going to die, what¡¯s the need for farewells? Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly shocked awake by the waves of heat. Immediately, he saw Nong Shuyi burning up; Nong Shuyi¡¯s face were flushed deep red, and her hair was a little charred. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to ask anything to know that Nong Shuyi was experiencing the self-combustion of Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. He immediately grabbed Nong Shuyi¡¯s wrist and said solemnly, "You don¡¯t need to worry. Forcefully circulate your spiritual energy and follow my induced circulation path. Remember to follow my circulation mantra and methods¡­" Nong Shuyi wasn¡¯t even able to speak and could only nod her head. Instantly, she felt a trace of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual energy enter into her spirit channels. She did not hesitate to circulate her spiritual energy under the lead of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual energy into a circulation path. At the same time, she started memorising the circulation mantra that Mo Wuji was chanting. In merely one complete circulation, Nong Shuyi stared at Mo Wuji in shock, "This is a reverse circulation path?" Mo Wuji¡¯s face blushed; he only knew this method. His own Immortal Mortal Technique was modified using this reverse circulation path into a reverse circulation technique. Now, he could only use this reverse circulation path to modify Broken Sect¡¯s technique. Fortunately, Nong Shuyi didn¡¯t notice Mo Wuji¡¯s embarrassed expression, but cried out in joy, "After one reverse circulation, the heat in my body seems to have weakened." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, and with a self-confident tone, "You don¡¯t need to worry. There are a total of 95 spirit channels in your body. I only need to help you adjust the circulation of your 95 spirit channels to follow this reverse circulation path and you would be completely free from this spiritual energy combustion." Nong Shuyi¡¯s hope was boosted. At the same time, an intense desire to live surged in her heart. Following the consecutive success of each spirit channel going into reverse circulation, and as she memorised the circulation mantra, that burning sensation completely disappeared. However, Nong Shuyi was increasingly saddened. How good would it be if Wan¡¯Er could still be alive? If she knew that there was a solution to Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique, she would be so happy¡­ [1] Queer and Shrewd have the same pronunciation in Mandarin. Chapter 375: The Arrogant Broken Sect Chapter 375: The Arrogant Broken Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tens of meters away from Mo Wuji and Nong Shuyi was Zhu Qu with an indifferent expression on his face. There was an array in front of him and within this array was the faint condensation of a fog. This fog was not only coming together gradually, it was also slowly turning into an essence which looked like a guided arrow. This was also the reason why Zhu Qu was never worried about Nong Shuyi escaping because as long as he wanted to do so, no one person from the Broken Sect would be able to escape his pursuit. To think a mere Nong Shuyi would believe that she could escape his clutches? She was simply overestimating herself. So what if that Mo Wuji knew how to teleport? If it was not for the slight delay in setting up his tracking array earlier on, he wouldn¡¯t have spent half a day chasing after Mo Wuji. His tracking array made use of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth so it was capable of locking onto any cultivators who had cultivated using the Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique before. So as long as the other party cultivated using the Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique and the tracking array could sense spiritual energy in the air, he would be capable of using this to find Nong Shuyi. The moment he caught up with the person he was chasing, the person would be immolated to death instantly. Even though the Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique was the same as any other cultivation technique, every time a cultivator was cultivating, he would put in place a unique technique imprint. After many days of absorbing the spiritual energy, Zhu Qu could finally sense Nong Shuyi. After the fog within the array condensed to form a guided arrow, it would point towards the location of Nong Shuyi. By then, he would have followed the arrow and witnessed the death of Nong Shuyi. As for that Mo Wuji, he would make sure that he personally understood how terrifying it was to offend the Broken Sect. As the guided arrow fog was about to form up in front of his eyes, the indifferent and arrogant Zhu Qu¡¯s face suddenly turned extremely ugly. The fog that was supposed to form the faint arrow suddenly scattered and the scattering process was getting increasingly fast. This was not possible because even if Nong Shuyi was dead, the arrow would still be formed up within a short period of time. The only possibility would be that someone managed to remove the imprint placed within his techniques and even blot out Nong Shuyi¡¯s cultivation technique. In the shortest time possible, Zhu Qu understood that this had to be because of Mo Wuji. Even if this seemed a little too bizarre to be true, he knew what kind of bizarre person Mo Wuji was. This person didn¡¯t only recapture the Universal Hall single-handedly, he even got rid of the Xia and Yan Clans on his own and ended up as the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain. Additionally, this person was ranked number 1 on the Mortal and Earth Board and ranked number 2 on the Universal Board. If he didn¡¯t have some skills, it would simply be impossible for him to achieve what he had achieved thus far. Zhu Qu didn¡¯t care who stayed in Zhen Xing because even if everyone in Zhen Xing died, he wouldn¡¯t furrow his eyebrows at all. Now that someone had erased his technique imprint and prevented him from tracking them, he would never forgive that person. What if every member of the Broken Sect were to have their imprints erased by Mo Wuji? There would no longer be any purpose in the existence of the Broken Sect. He definitely had to kill Mo Wuji. To Mo Wuji, unless he was crazy, he would never spend so much time and effort to manipulate the techniques for every single members of the Broken Sect. ¡­ "Boom!" After Mo Wuji guided Nong Shuyi in circulating all of her spirit channels, his whole body was drenched in sweat too. This was not because he had insufficient elemental energy or exhausted too much of it but simply because this was too tiring. This was equivalent to using Nong Shuyi¡¯s spirit channels to test and helping her to modify her technique. If he made the slightest of mistakes, Nong Shuyi¡¯s spirit channels would have been destroyed and she would be suffering so much so that she would rather die. Seeing how Nong Shuyin knew how to circulate her spiritual roots by herself, Mo Wuji could finally relax and use his spiritual will to scan the surrounding. The sect head of the Broken Sect, Zhu Qu, was an odd man so Mo Wuji had to be extra careful because at least for now, Mo Wuji was still far from being Zhu Qu¡¯s match. It seemed like he needed to source for a new land to continue his cultivation. After half a day had passed, the spiritual energy ripples around Nong Shuyi¡¯s body had finally calmed down as she opened her eyes. There was an intense sense of suspicion in her eyes but there were also relief within the suspicion which Mo Wuji found extremely strange. "How is it? Nothing went wrong right?" Mo Wuji asked. Nong Shuyi¡¯s shook her head, "Nothing''s wrong but my cultivation level dropped from Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3 to level 1¡­" "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned awkward because he really didn¡¯t know that after helping her modify her technique, Nong Shuyi¡¯s cultivation level would take a hit. However, Nong Shuyi looked gratefully at Mo Wuji, "However, I am stronger than before and I finally understood how you are able to beat me while being only at the True God Stage. This spiritual circulation technique is simply¡­" Nong Shuyi couldn¡¯t find any more suitable words to describe Mo Wuji¡¯s modified technique. Spiritual circulation led to compression of spiritual energy which led to a decrease in cultivation level as well as increasing her strength simultaneously. This was as if she was being told that her future potential would be even greater. Mo Wuji heard this and heaved a big sigh of relief. "The pity is that Wan¡¯Er¡­" Nong Shuyi couldn¡¯t help but to feel disheartened when she thought of Nong Shuwan¡¯s suicide. "Dao Friend Nong, this is my own cultivation technique so I hope you won¡¯t spread it outside," Mo Wuji said seriously. Even though the cultivation technique that he modified for Nong Shuyi was not the same as his own one, the idea of spiritual circulation was the same. Nong Shuyi nodded her head, "I will not tell anyone about it because I have no one to talk to. Since you are the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain, I wish to join the Star King Mountain." Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before saying, "I was never interested in being the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain and in fact, I am the sect head of a sect. If you are willing, join my sect. Even though I managed to help you modify your cultivation technique, you should only be able to cultivate within the three stages of the Heaven Realm. Once you advanced past the Earthly Immortal Stage, I am afraid you won¡¯t be able to carry on cultivating. I am limited by my cultivation level so I am afraid I don¡¯t have another cultivation technique for you." Mo Wuji made it very clear that if you wanted to join his sect and become a disciple of the sect, he, as the sect head, would naturally had to take care of his disciples¡¯ cultivation techniques . "Which sect?" Nong Shuyi knew a bit about Mo Wuji¡¯s origins but had no idea which sect he was leading. As for the technique after the Earthly Immortal Stage, she didn¡¯t mind at all because how many people in Zhen Xing could go past the Earthly Immortal Stage? "Tian Ji Sect," Mo Wuji replied promptly. Nong Shuyi thought for a long time but still couldn¡¯t recall hearing any Tian Ji Sect before. However, she didn¡¯t mind what sect it was because she didn¡¯t have anywhere to go to in the first place. Even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t allow her to join the Star King Mountain, she would leave Zhen Xing and head into the Star Wars Battlefield. Even if Mo Wuji managed to erase the hidden danger of the Broken Sect¡¯s technique, she was not confident she could hide from the pursuit of the Broken Sect as long as she remained in Zhen Xing. "Nong Shuyi is willing to join the Tian Ji Sect, greetings Sect Head," Nong Shuyi stood up to pay her respects to Mo Wuji without any hesitation after making her decision. Mo Wuji returned the Seven Dazzling Mirrors to Nong Shuyi and said, "The Tian Ji Sect is located in the Lost Continent so before we head back to the Lost Continent, you shall follow me." "Where are we going now? I am fearful that if we stay too long in this place, Zhu Qu mighty be able to find us," Nong Shuyi said worryingly. She had heard too many stories about the Broken Sect but she had never heard of someone staying safe after escaping from the Broken Sect. Mo Wuji revealed a slight smile, "If he couldn¡¯t catch up to us here, he wouldn¡¯t be capable enough to be the Broken Sect¡¯s Sect Head. Let¡¯s leave now, towards the Star King Mountain." Mo Wuji pondered for a while and still felt that the Star King Mountain would be the safest place for him to focus on his cultivation. Being the biggest sect in Zhen Xing, the Star King Mountain must have its holy land for cultivation. Additionally, there were as many experts in the Star King Mountain as there were clouds so no matter how strong Zhu Qu was, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t need to be fearful of him as long as the experts were willing to help. ¡­ Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Hall. The four hall masters, many other elders and defenders were gathered together once again. However, the expression of the crowd wasn¡¯t very pleasant. Yan Ze was the first to step up, "Fellow hall masters, elders of the Star King Mountain, defenders¡­ Over the past few days, the Broken Sect actually killed 10 of our cultivation cities¡¯ castellans and even announced that they want to take over our Piercing Wind City and the Nine Mo City. This is no longer the case of being arrogant and if we still do not say anything, I believe there is no longer any point in the existence of our Star King Mountain." Everyone had their fists clenched but there was still one sentence that Yan Ze didn¡¯t say out loud. That was the restraining order given by the sect head of the Broken Sect to force the Star King Mountain to hand out the whereabouts of Star Lord Mo Wuji within three days. Otherwise, the Broken Sect would start to take over the Star King Mountain. It was simply unbearable, even for a small sect, to accept the fact that an assassin guild was acting this arrogant so how could the number one defending sect of the Zhen Xing, Star King Mountain accept this humiliation? Since when was the Star King Mountain reduced to such a pathetic state? Su Xuan stood up gradually, "Fellow hall masters and elders. The Broken Sect didn¡¯t only kill 10 cities¡¯ castellans but also three Worldly Immortal Stage defenders of the Star King Mountain. I agree with Hall Master Yan that if we continue to bear with their acts, they might calm down eventually but there wouldn¡¯t be any more purpose in our existence. I suggest that we immediately inform the entire Zhen Mo Continent to kill every member of the Broken Sect. Even if our Star King Mountain would be completely destroyed because of this, we had to do it." To be able to reach the Worldly Immortal Stage, which of the hall masters or elders would be able to swallow their pride like that? Even if Su Xuan didn¡¯t say all these, someone else would definitely mention about this. "Hall Master Su, Star Lord is back," Just as everyone was trying to express their opinions, a deacon hurried in to report this. Su Xuan was slightly startled before rushing down from her seat excitedly, "Hurry to welcome the Star Lord." In Mo Wuji¡¯s absence, she was the one leading the Star King Mountain. In fact, if there wasn¡¯t the problem with the Broken Sect, she was confident she could bring the Star King Mountain back to its glory days. With the appearance of the Broken Sect, she realised that she was still too far off from being capable to lead the Star King Mountain. In the face of the Broken Sect killing the castellans, elders as well as publicly announcing their intention to take over the Nine Mo City and the Piercing Wind City, she was completely clueless as to how to deal with them. It was not that she didn¡¯t know what to do but mainly because she knew that they would be of no match with the terrifying power of the Broken Sect. Mo Wuji managed to recapture the Universal Hall and the fact that he defeated Bao Lie and the Earthly Immortal Stage expert from Gu Nuo Star Tribe proved that he must be even stronger than them. In the entire Star King Mountain, Mo Wuji might just be the only person who was capable of dealing with the Broken Sect. Chapter 376: Let Me Blast Them Chapter 376: Let Me Blast Them Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Su Xuan was not the only excited one as everyone in the Universal Hall stood up in excitement. This was the moment when they realised how big of an impact the Star Lord was to the Star King Mountain. Previously when the big names in the Star King Mountain were having their internal conflict, nobody cared about the thoughts of the Star Lord. After all, Zhen Xing had always been very stable with no devastating tragedy. The period when the Star Lord died and when the foreign invaders took over the Universal Hall was when everyone remembered the importance of a Star Lord. However, they were not as desperate during that period of time as they were now for a Star Lord because wasn¡¯t the foreign invaders chased away eventually even without a Star Lord? Now that the Broken Sect sprung up with the intention to take control and even killed some Star King Mountain Worldly Immortal Stage experts in public, people were starting to feel helpless. Mo Wuji clasped his fist and said, "I¡¯ve heard what Hall Master Su said earlier on and since nobody is willing to bow our heads in front of the Broken Sect, we shall stand in a line against them." Just before Mo Wuji entered the Star Lord Hall, he did use his spiritual will to scan the Star Lord Hall. If he heard anyone asking for him to go out there and negotiate for peace with the Broken Sect, he would have brought Nong Shuyi and left this place immediately. However, it seemed like even though there were still some borers in the Star King Mountain, the majority of them still had some guts in them. "Star Lord, no matter what you order us to do, I, Luo Yuchen, will always fully support you. I will have no regrets even if I have to fight till my death against the Broken Sect," A golden hair youth stood up and said. Under such pressure from the Broken Sect, his heart was already raging with anger. Su Xuan knew that Mo Wuji was not very familiar with the Star King Mountain so she hurried to introduce, "Star Lord, this is Hall Master Luo Yuchen of the Star King Mountain¡¯s 9th hall, the Star Gazing Hall." "I, Yan Ze, will give you my fullest support too!" Yan Ze shouted without any shreds of hesitation. Following which, many elders and defenders started to sound out their support for Mo Wuji, regardless the decisions that he made. Su Xuan heaved a sigh of relief because initially, she was worried that people might not be agreeable with Mo Wuji being the new Star Lord. Because even though Mo Wuji becoming the Star Lord was an inevitable event, if there were people who couldn¡¯t accept their new Star Lord, the Star King Mountain might just return to square one. It seemed like the arrogance of the Broken Sect was not exactly a bad thing. "Great," Mo Wuji clasped his fist and said, "Everyone please rest assure that even though I admit Zhu Qu is strong, he is definitely not strong enough to exterminate the Star King Mountain," After finishing what he had to say, Mo Wuji took the initiative to sit on the Star Lord¡¯s seat. At this moment, he didn¡¯t have to stand on any ceremony because against the Broken Sect, someone needed to step up. Nong Shuyi walked over to the seat beside Mo Wuji because she initially thought that because Mo Wuji was too young with a slightly lower cultivation level, he might not be able to win the hearts of the many experts in the Star King Mountain. However, as she saw the attitude of the many hall masters and elders towards Mo Wuji, she knew that she was overthinking. "Star Lord, shall we announce across the entire Zhen Mo Continent to exterminate the Broken Sect immediately?" Su Xuan asked. Mo Wuji was still lamenting because from the onstart, he was the one on the wanted poster but now it was finally his turn to put others on the wanted list. However, there was no need to list the Broken Sect on the wanted list for now because now that he had helpers with him, he would simply be too timid if he was still scared of a mere Zhu Qu. "No need, I need 6 Worldly Immortal Stage experts to leave with me to settle some things and after I am back, we will immediately announce the notice to exterminate the Broken Sect throughout the entire Zhen Xing. Those who are willing to leave with me, please step out and report your cultivation level," Mo Wuji said calmly. Initially, Mo Wuji wanted to go behind closed doors to cultivate till he reached the Worldly Immortal Stage before doing anything else. However, with the help of the many experts in the Star King Mountain, why would he let this opportunity to destroy the Broken Sect slip away? Who did Zhu Qu think he was? And did he really think he could capture Mo Wuji? Chi Tong might be fearful of Zhu Qu but Mo Wuji was everything but fearful of him. He wasn¡¯t very familiar with the Star King Mountain hence, there was another reason why he asked people to step out and that was to aid his intention to revamp the 10 halls after wiping out the Broken Sect. As for the 10 new hall masters, he decided to choose from these people who took the initiative to step out. As Mo Wuji noticed that Su Xuan was about to step out, Mo Wuji hurried to shake his hand and said, "Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan must safeguard the Star King Mountain so the both of you need not follow me." "Old Slave Chi Huo¡¯Er, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5, is willing to follow the Star Lord," Chi Huo¡¯Er was the first to step out because to him, the Star Lord¡¯s order was his priority. "Star Gazing Hall¡¯s Luo Yuchen, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, is willing to follow the Star Lord," The golden hair youth stood out too. "Star Trace Hall¡¯s 11th elder Wan Huashang, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3, is willing to follow the Star Lord too," After Luo Yuchen was a slightly fatter middle-aged man. "Star King Mountain¡¯s 7th defender Fei Chao, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3, is willing to follow the Star Lord," The next person who stood up was a thin and lean man. "There is also me, Gu Qiao, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5¡­" Morning Star Hall¡¯s Hall Master Gu Qiao was previously a member of the Mou Clan but the Mou Clan no longer dared to fight for the throne of the Star King Mountain anymore. Xia Clan and the Yan Clan were examples and lessons for the Mou Clan to note that if they dared to use their clan¡¯s power to control the Star King Mountain, they would end up like the Yan Clan. Therefore, ever since the return of Mo Wuji, Gu Qiao decided to step out and work hard for the Star Lord. "Star King Mountain¡¯s 3rd elder Sang Caihe, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7, is willing to work for the Star Lord," The last to step out was a young woman who wasn¡¯t eye-catching but the moment she stepped out, everyone could feel the pressure of her spirituality. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes lit up as he didn¡¯t expect to see another expert in the advanced stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage. The Star King Mountain was indeed hiding its talented individuals as more and more experts stepped out. Su Xuan asked surprisingly, "Sister Caihe, you broke through to the advanced stage?" The young woman laughed, "Yes, I¡¯ve only broke through to the advanced stage recently." "Congratulations, the strength of my Star King Mountain has increased yet again," Su Xuan said with a lot of joy. Hearing Sang Caihe¡¯s words, the crowd revealed their admiration for her. The intermediate stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage was a world apart from the advanced stage and most people would never be able to break through to the advanced stage in their entire life. This was also the reason why there were so many elementary and intermediate stage Worldly Immortal Stage experts and only a few advanced stage experts in the Star King Mountain. "Great, since there are 6 of you already, we shall leave now," Mo Wuji stood up after saying this. The six who stood out followed Mo Wuji without any hesitation and even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say where or what they were going to do, nobody questioned him. Everyone could feel that their new Star Lord was the most direct and straightforward Star Lord that they had. He was the type of person that if a fight was what he wanted, he would definitely fight without wasting time. Nong Shuyi naturally had her eyes fixed on Mo Wuji as she was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 with decent fighting capabilities and was even Mo Wuji¡¯s direct disciple. ¡­ After two minutes, Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship charged out of the Star King Mountain. "Everyone, we will now go and obliterate the Broken Sect¡¯s old lair and the reason why I invited everyone here was because I am afraid we might meet Zhu Qu. Zhu Qu should be in the Earthly Immortal Stage and was definitely not an ordinary Earthly Immortal Stage expert. If it was a head to head fight, there wouldn¡¯t be anyone in my Star King Mountain who would be his match. However, I have a set of eight elemental killing array and the moment we meet Zhu Qu, everyone just have to follow my array flags to attack. Even if we couldn¡¯t capture him, we wouldn¡¯t need to be fearful of him." This eight elemental killing array was something Mo Wuji developed on his own after analysing Chu Xingzi¡¯s array dao. This killing array required eight people with different spiritual roots and all of eight of them must throw out the eight flags every time for each of them to attack a different part of the opponent. Mo Wuji was clear that it was impossible for him to find eight people with different spiritual roots so he simply got eight people because eventually, he need not necessarily attack eight different parts and it would be good enough even if they were to all attack one spot. Even though the power of the attack would be weakened by a few levels, Mo Wuji believed that it would be sufficient to deal with a person like Zhu Qu. Zhu Qu might be very strong but he was still not that ridiculously strong. "Star Lord, you know where is the old lair of the Broken Sect?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Luo Yuchen said shockingly. Everyone else looked shockingly at Mo Wuji and completely neglected his eight elemental killing array. Even the members of the Broken Sect had no idea where the old lair was so how and where did Mo Wuji find this out from? Mo Wuji revealed a slight smile, "I don¡¯t know it yet but I will know very soon." After he said this, Mo Wuji took out a bunch of array flags as he started to install arrays on the bow of his ship. After half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji stopped his installation and guided the flying ship through a turn and then charged forward in the fastest possible speed. The spiritual will imprint that he placed on the member of the Broken Sect was still there and he realised that the person he needed to find was that cultivator with his spiritual will imprint. Mo Wuji¡¯s conjecture was that the cultivator who could retrieve Number 731¡¯s storage ring would definitely return to the Broken Sect to return the storage ring. To be able to return to the Broken Sect, he must be of quite a notable status or at least a status much higher than Nong Shuyi. He knew that the status of a member of the Broken Sect was not dependent on the cultivation level but the contributions to the Broken Sect. For example even though Nong Shuyi¡¯s cultivation level was far more superior than her younger sister, Nong Shuwan¡¯s, Nong Shuwan was of a much higher status than Nong Shuyi in the Broken Sect. Currently, all he needed to do was to find where the spiritual will imprint was. The arrays that Mo Wuji set up earlier on was much simpler than Zhu Qu¡¯s tracking array because all he needed to do was locate someone¡¯s position only and not to control him. After flying for two days, Mo Wuji could even sense clearly where the spiritual will imprint was without the array. After another half a day, Mo Wuji kept his flying ship and said to everyone else, "Everyone follow me." Everyone else followed Mo Wuji into a mountain and since Chi Huo¡¯Er was the oldest there, he could recognise the place the moment they reached, "Star Lord, this is the Chu Jiang Mountain which nobody normally visit." Mo Wuji suddenly thought of a verse of a poem which mentioned ¡®Heaven Gate broke when the mountain was opened. ¡® Was the Broken Sect really named by others? Why was their base at the Chu Jiang Mountain then? Such coincidence. Mo Wuji stopped and he also understood Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s meaning as there was nothing and nobody here. This place simply looked like a deserted low mountain valley with a great roaring river flowing through it. Perhaps this mountain was named Chu Jiang Mountain also because of the physical features of this place. [1] Mo Wuji was sure there was something here as he could clearly feel the spiritual will imprint in front of the roaring river. However, even after Mo Wuji scanned the area using his spiritual will again, he didn¡¯t find any clue. Following which, he used his spiritual eye and what he saw was still a roaring great river. "The Broken Sect shouldn¡¯t be here," Gu Qiao expressed his opinion as he was confident in the strength of his spiritual will when he didn¡¯t sense any trace of members of the Broken Sect. "No, the Broken Sect is here. Everyone spread out and let me blast them away," Mo Wuji retrieved his huge cannon after saying that. It didn¡¯t matter if he couldn¡¯t see the opponent because it would work as long as he fired one shot in the direction of his spiritual will. [1]: Chu Jiang Mountain is the direct translation of the hanyupinyin and the meanings are Chu: Neat and Jiang: Rive Chapter 377: Combined Attacks Against Zhu Qu Chapter 377: Combined Attacks Against Zhu Qu Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s resentment towards the Broken Sect was simply too huge so he took out the biggest laser cannon. Everyone stared cautiously at Mo Wuji as he took out a laser cannon ammunition, which they had never seen before, before putting into the huge cannon and firing. "Boom!" An intense explosion was heard clearly by everybody and because of the dazzling radiance, everyone subconsciously took a few steps backwards. Following which, everyone saw a sky piercing light radiance that exploded at the faraway river. Immediately after that, everyone could see the next explosion very clearly. This was probably the reason why Mo Wuji asked everyone to make way. The laser cannon and the extreme ice cannon were two different types of cannon. The range of a laser cannon would definitely not be further than the extreme ice cannon but a laser cannon specialised on one spot and the power was much stronger than the extreme ice cannon. Nong Shuyi saw the power of this space splitting laser cannon and her heart was trembling. She saw Mo Wuji¡¯s extreme ice cannon before and definitely didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to have a another laser cannon like this. "Boom¡­" Following the intense explosions, everyone stared shockingly at the massive island that popped out on top of the great river. Everyone could faintly see a cluster of different buildings on the island and it looked just like a sect. Everyone from the Star King Mountain took in a breath of cold air because they couldn¡¯t believe there was actually an island which their spiritual will failed to detect. Moreover, it wasn¡¯t any random island but the old lair of the Broken Sect. Just how strong must the defensive and concealment arrays be to be able to stand firm here without being detected by spiritual will? The way everyone viewed Mo Wuji changed dramatically because even though they all agreed for Mo Wuji to be the Star Lord, their impression of Mo Wuji was only based on hearsays that he was very capable. Furthermore, he was a person pointed out by Chi Tong coupled with the fact that there were no other suitable candidates to be the Star Lord. Today, they finally witnessed this new Star Lord¡¯s capability. Even without taking the laser cannon into consideration, just his eyesight and judgement alone was already extremely admirable. Who would have found out about the Broken Sect¡¯s base if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t fire his cannon at this place? Even if someone were to search for a hundred years, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to find the Broken Sect right? While everyone was still in shock, the massive island started to split apart as there were still explosions from the laser cannon. Buildings after buildings were starting to collapse and the shadows of people were disappearing following the explosions. Because of the terrifying explosion, a crater of 10 metres radius was formed within the great river. There was nothing inside the great river and even the river water didn¡¯t seep through at that moment in time. After a few seconds, the river water finally rushed to fill the crater and eventually forming a massive whirlpool. The whirlpool disappeared very quickly and the crashing waves were back at the river face. If they didn¡¯t personally witnessed it, they would never believe that there was a hidden island here and it was blown into pieces by Mo Wuji. No, blown into nothingness. Since the island was blown into nothingness, one could imagine that there wouldn¡¯t even be ashes of the people left behind on the island. At this point, everyone was in awe. A few people finally understood where the Yan Clan went and Gu Qiao¡¯s back was full of cold sweat as he could even feel shivers in his body. He was actually an offshoot disciple of the Mou Clan but because he followed his mother¡¯s surname, his surname wasn¡¯t Mou. However, what he was fearful of now was that if Mo Wuji were to be unhappy with the Mou Clan someday and used such attack on the Mou Clan, the Mou Clan might¡­ Gu Qiao didn¡¯t dare to think about it for any longer as he swore to never go against this Star Lord even if he had to give up on the cultivator army. The Mou Clan would simply be courting death if they dared to offend him. Mo Wuji had too many reasons to deal with the Mou Clan because even the Mou Clan participated in the pursuit to capture him many years ago. Mo Wuji sighed too because it was indeed true that the bigger the laser cannon¡¯s ammunition was, the greater its destructive power. The destructive power of this large artillery shell was so many folds greater than a small artillery shell. The pity was that Zhu Qu should not be here because it would be too idealistic to think that Zhu Qu would be blasted to death so easily by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji kept his massive cannon and said, "Announce to the entire Star King Mountain to kill every member of the Broken Sect at sight. For every Broken Sect member killed, the person could enter the Star King Mountain and also¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish his sentence, he suddenly kept quiet and shot out lightning swords before grabbing the Tian Ji Pole with his hand. It was only after Mo Wuji acted then the remaining 7 people felt the movement in space. Everyone here was experienced so they had already drew out their magic treasure and separated from each other. "Kaka!" As the lightning exploded, Mo Wuji¡¯s extremely powerful lightning sword was blown away like a candlelight. Tremendous amount of elemental energy blew him off and even though it was only elemental energy, Mo Wuji felt as though he was struck in the chest by a massive steel hammer making it difficult for him to breathe momentarily. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about his own injury as he immediately threw out array flags and shouted, "Everyone attack together." Just as Mo Wuji shouted his instructions after throwing the array flags, a gigantic censer was flying towards Mo Wuji and a blurry shadow appeared in the space. Those who came out on this trip with Mo Wuji were experts of the Star King Mountain. They were either hall masters, elders or defenders at the Worldly Immortal Stage. Other than Nong Shuyi, everyone here was baptised by countless of battles in the past and had vast combat experiences. At the instant Mo Wuji stopped talking and attacked, they had already drawn out their magic treasures. "Boom boom boom boom!" Before the massive censer could land on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, all 8 magic treasures including Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole struck against it. A turbulent elemental energy could be felt and all eight of them were blown away. Mo Wuji, who was leading the charge, swallowed back a mouthful of fresh blood that he almost spat out. At this moment, Mo Wuji was shocked because after just one exchange of blows, Mo Wuji realised how fortunate he was to have managed to escape from Zhu Qu a few days ago. Luckily, he made his preparations this time round by bringing six Worldly Immortal Stage experts and even got the help of Nong Shuyi. An extremely handsome man stepped down from space while dragging his censer as his eyes shifted from Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole to Nong Shuyi¡¯s body before saying coldly, "You are indeed slightly capable to be able to remove my Broken Sect¡¯s technique." He thought Mo Wuji erased Nong Shuyi¡¯s technique as he couldn¡¯t tell that Mo Wuji altered the technique instead. Mo Wuji kept quiet and he was confident Zhu Qu had a Spatial Positioning Transfer Talisman because otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get here so quickly. Seconds after Mo Wuji obliterated the Broken Sect¡¯s lair, Zhu Qu arrived. This speed was simply too unbelievable. "Zhu Qu, my Star King Mountain had always been very lenient with your Broken Sect so how dare you list my Star Lord in your wanted list and even killed 10 of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s castellans," Luo Yuchen was young and arrogant as he said this in a serious tone. Zhu Qu¡¯s eyes swept across Luo Yuchen and said in a disdainful tone, "What are you? Do you think you¡¯re qualified to talk to me?" He was too lazy to explain to a lowly fella like Luo Yuchen. Star King Mountain was being lenient to his Broken Sect? Haha, the truth was that the Star King Mountain dared not offend him, Zhu Qu. "Since you¡¯ve destroyed the foundations of my Broken Sect, why don¡¯t you sacrifice your small lives as an offering to my Broken Sect?" Zhu Qu raised his hand and that censer kept on expanding. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate before throwing out a few array flags as he shouted, "Everyone attack!" At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole was charging in another direction. "Boom boom boom boom!" The elementary energies continued to clash with each other and in this battle between eight Worldly Immortal Stage experts and one Earthly Immortal Stage expert, all the surrounding low mountains turned into ravines because of the incredible explosions of elemental energy. Even though Mo Wuji was only in the True God Stage, he was actually slightly stronger than Sang Caihe, who was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7. All sorts of magic skills¡¯ radiance split on the spot as endless explosions could be heard together with the radiance emitted from everyone¡¯s magic treasure. Zhu Qu was simply too strong which was why during this head to head battle, Mo Wuji and the rest could feel an extremely intense oppression from Zhu Qu¡¯s attacks. Fei Chao and Wan Huashang were the weakest there and before Zhu Qu¡¯s main attack from his magic treasure was executed, the both of them spat out fresh blood and the strength of the alliance became weaker instantly. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had done his research on the Broken Sect¡¯s technique so he knew that Nong Shuyi¡¯s cultivation technique had been tampered with because the fundamentals of a technique shouldn¡¯t have too big an alteration. Therefore, when he threw out his array flags, the combined attacks were aimed at the gaps where Zhu Qu condensed his energy. Additionally, they attacked at different parts of Zhu Qu concurrently hence it was able to gradually slow down the charge of his insane elemental energy. After feeling that his attack was being cut off by their combined attack, Zhu Qu sneered because he couldn¡¯t believe a few Worldly Immortal Stage experts actually thought they could contend against him. After his censer flipped in space for a few rounds, Zhu Qu didn¡¯t fall but said in a stern tone, "Go and die¡­" A light radiance, which couldn¡¯t be seen by the naked eye or spiritual will, was charging towards the forehead of Mo Wuji. At this moment, even if Mo Wuji wanted to escape, his body became much slower than usual. Zhu Qu¡¯s restraining force was too terrifying and because he aimed to defeat Mo Wuji first, Mo Wuji had nowhere to run or hide. Besides Mo Wuji, Sang Caihe was the strongest here and she was the first to sense that Mo Wuji was in danger. The Star Atlas in her hand suddenly skyrocketed as it shot out tens of star radiance directed at Zhu Qu. Zhu Qu grunted but didn¡¯t even bother to stop what he was doing. That censer flipped a little and a massive censer shadow blocked off Sang Caihe¡¯s tens of star radiance. The star radiance exploded and the elemental energy turned into actual essence as it charged towards Sang Caihe. Sang Caihe instantly spat out blood and her entire body flew tens of metres away. Mo Wuji panicked because he knew in a solo battle with him, it would simply be impossible for him to rely on his elemental energy to defeat Zhu Qu. Sang Caihe made this mistake earlier on because she was too anxious to try and save him. "Puff!" The light radiance shot through Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead and it instantly turned into a smoky shadow. This smoky shadow entered Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness as it charged forward wanting to find and trap Mo Wuji¡¯s primordial spirit. The pity was that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any primordial spirit but a massive lake of violet energy. Chapter 378: Losses On Both Sides Chapter 378: Losses On Both Sides Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was used to battles. How could he not know what his opponent was thinking; his opponent wanted to take control of him. His eyes immediately turned foggy, as though his primordial spirit had been captured. Zhu Qu was lost in confusion; he did not seem to have felt Mo Wuji''s primordial spirit. But Mo Wuji seemed to have transformed into a wooden puppet. However, he did not think much about it. Mo Wuji was merely an ant of the True God Stage; his soul will was naturally much stronger than Mo Wuji''s. Moreover, he cultivated in soul technique, causing his soul will to be strong, his primordial spirit to be solidified which eventually made him much stronger than anyone else. Even an expert in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage would be helpless once he entered their sea of consciousness. The censer started pouring down as it was headed directly at Mo Wuji¡¯s skull. No matter what technique Mo Wuji used to find and completely destroyed his Broken Sect¡¯s lair, Zhu Qu would never underestimate this ant in the True God Stage. Therefore, even after infiltrating Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness, Zhu Qu didn¡¯t rest on his laurels just like that. To him, as long as Mo Wuji was restrained, the remaining people were like even smaller ants to him. So what if it was the Star King Mountain? Anyone who dared to provoke him, including the Star King Mountain, would be obliterated by him. As if it was unintentional, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole was aimed at another direction as it coincidentally clashed against the incoming censer. "Boom!" The incoming elemental energy clashed heavily against the Tian Ji Pole. Following that tremendous amount of energy that was crashing down was an aura that made others want to worship and shortly after, cracking sounds could be heard from both of Mo Wuji¡¯s legs. When the others saw that Mo Wuji¡¯s life was being restrained, they simply couldn¡¯t care about anything else as they charged angrily at Zhu Qu. Everyone witnessed Zhu Qu¡¯s strength and knew that he was much stronger than they ever expected. Mo Wuji was the future of the Star King Mountain so if Mo Wuji was killed here, they would definitely perish together with the Star King Mountain. No matter what happened, they must not let Mo Wuji die here. Both of Mo Wuji¡¯s limbs were broken and when Zhu Qu saw Mo Wuji¡¯s pale face, he knew that Mo Wuji was a dead man. He would never let Mo Wuji die so easily so after he finished killing the remaining of them, Zhu Qu would slowly torture him by extracting his primordial spirit. At the moment when everyone attacked him simultaneously, Zhu Qu was so furious he took out his copper seal. When Zhu Qu¡¯s attention shifted away from Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes immediately turned clear as he only needed very little time to regain his senses. The terrifying elemental energy surging out from Zhu Qu¡¯s censer merely broke Mo Wuji¡¯s legs. Without Zhu Qu¡¯s attention, the elemental energy was directed away by Mo Wuji and at this moment, it was directed towards the ground. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t directly dissipate the elemental energy but used his skill to change its direction. Mo Wuji had no capabilities to directly control Zhu Qu¡¯s immense strength but was able to use his sacred art to change the direction of this force. The ground started trembling vigorously, and before Sang Caihe and co. knew what was going on, an array flag suddenly appeared in space. Without the guidance of Mo Wuji¡¯s array flag, those who came with Mo Wuji started to fight on their own. When the array flag suddenly appeared, everyone realised that Mo Wuji threw this and that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have his primordial spirit restrained. Zhu Qu was also shocked because he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to be able to free himself from his attack on his primordial spirit. It seemed like he still underestimated Mo Wuji but it didn¡¯t matter because even if Mo Wuji was still able to have a go at him, Zhu Qu could restrain him once again. Presently, the remaining seven of them had already combined their attacks towards the position of the array flag. An extreme pain and oppression could be felt and it was only then that Zhu Qu realised that this was the weak point of his elemental energy. Get out of here before anything else! Just as Zhu Qu thought of this, "Boom boom boom!" An intense muffled sound was heard from beneath and following which, elemental energy surged out from the ground like earth dragon and concurrently, another array flag appeared on the other side of the space. Everyone here was at least a Worldly Immortal Stage expert and even though their combined attacks might not be a match for Zhu Qu, their ability to grasp combat opportunities were certainly not much weaker than Zhu Qu. After this array flag appeared, the seven attacks instantaneously shifted direction and concentrated all their forces on where the new array flag was located at. Even the elemental energy ¡®earth dragon¡¯ that came from beneath the ground charged towards where the array flag was. Zhu Qu grunted coldly because this position was exactly where he was about to land. The calculations of the array flag was actually so accurate that he even predicted his next move. So what? The copper seal transformed into a massive copper wall and Zhu Qu was once again readied to defend against the attack of seven experts. Even if all seven of them were to combine their efforts, it still wouldn¡¯t mean much to him. "Boom!" The space splitting elemental energy exploded towards him and as the elemental energy from both side clashed against each other, Zhu Qu¡¯s expression changed drastically. This combined attack was actually so much stronger than his energy. In fact, what made him surprised was that he could feel traces of his own elemental energy within the attack against him. "Puff!" Zhu Qu spat out a mouthful of blood as the immense elemental energy hit him back and broke a few bones in his rib cage. Zhu Qu was infuriated and raised his hand as he shot out a sharp radiance through the forehead of the nearest person, Wan Huashang and killed him on the spot. Just as Wan Huashang was killed, "Bang!" An invisible steel pole broke Zhu Qu¡¯s elemental wall and struck against the back of Zhu Qu¡¯s head. Zhu Qu spat out blood yet again and with one wave of his hand, the censer followed his body and disappeared without a trace. A pale faced Mo Wuji sat on the ground, and immediately swallowed a few medicinal pills. "Star Lord¡­" Chi Huo¡¯Er rushed to Mo Wuji at the first instance. Mo Wuji only broke his legs because of the insane elemental energy that charged towards him but after swallowing a couple of pills, Mo Wuji was just barely able to stand. "Star Lord, Wan Huashang¡¯s primordial spirit was dispersed and fell under the hands of Zhu Qu. Zhu Qu should be severely injured so should we chase after him to finish him off so we could avenge Elder Wan?" Sang Caihe walked over with a slightly pale face and a robe fully stained with blood. Mo Wuji waved his hand, and underwent spiritual circulation again before saying, "It was my fault this time round as I underestimated Zhu Qu¡¯s strength which eventually led to Elder Wan¡¯s death. Even if he was severely wounded, we can¡¯t do much even if we chased after him because this fella treasured and was too cautious with his dear life. If he was like any other ordinary person and fought with us forcefully today, none of us would have made it out today. Regardless, Zhu Qu wouldn¡¯t dare to be arrogant for the time being, let¡¯s hurry back to the Star King Mountain." "Roger that!" Someone was already holding Wan Huashang and everyone quickly got onto the flying ship towards the Star King Mountain. Mo Wuji was dejected because if he didn¡¯t combine the second level of the Xing word, Earthly Star Shift, with the first level, Dragon Rising Star Shift, as well as making use of Zhu Qu¡¯s own elemental energy to strike against him and then executing a sneak attack using his Tian Ji Pole, it would be very hard to tell the winner. However, even though Zhu Qu left, it couldn¡¯t be considered that the Star King Mountain was victorious. He had to undergo closed door cultivation because it would simply be impossible for him to depend on his current strength to fight Zhu Qu. This time round, he managed to make use of his knowledge of the Broken Sect¡¯s cultivation technique to ambush Zhu Qu. Mo Wuji might not have such a chance the next time round because an expert like Zhu Qu would definitely find the reason how he was being ambushed and the same thing would surely not happen again. ¡­ Just as the Broken Sect was making everyone in the Zhen Mo Continent fearful, the Star King Mountain stood out by announcing the wanted order to capture any cultivator who belonged to the Broken Sect. However, even at the same time the Star King Mountain announced the wanted list to capture them, the Broken Sect didn¡¯t complete what they said they were going to do. Nine Mo City and the Piercing Wind City were still under the control of the Star King Mountain and the Broken Sect¡¯s issuing of the wanted order to capture the Star Lord ended up with nothing definite. Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivators heaved a sigh of relief as many of them initially believed that the Broken Sect was about to take over control of the entire Zhen Xing. The fact proved that they were simply overthinking. Zhen Xing was still under the control of the Star King Mountain and the Broken Sect was still a lowly assassin guild. Nobody was aware that if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in charge and did what he did, what they imagined might just turned into reality. Eight of them went to block Zhu Qu and seven returned with heavy wounds. Even though the Star King Mountain announced the wanted list to kill every member of the Broken Sect, all the experts in the Star King Mountain were clear that as long as Zhu Qu recovered and even advanced to yet another level, that would truly be the doomsday of Zhen Xing. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji returned to the Star King Mountain, he chose to undergo closed doors cultivation. Until this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood the deep heritage or the Star King Mountain. As long as he wanted it, other than the some extremely rare Tier 8 and 9 spiritual herbs, the Star King Mountain would be able to get it in large quantities for him. Additionally, as the Star Lord, he was able to cultivate in the Star Lord Mountain which had the densest spiritual energy in the Star King Mountain. Only after cultivating here, Mo Wuji realised how formidable this Star Lord Mountain was. This was literally a mountain created from the condensation of spiritual veins. No, it wasn¡¯t just spiritual veins because other than the dense spiritual energy here, this place contained endless amount of dao spirituality too. To be able to cultivate here, even if all 106 meridians of his were to undergo spiritual circulation simultaneously to absorb the spiritual energy, he wouldn¡¯t feel that there would be a lack of spiritual energy. For the Star King Mountain to be the number one sect in Zhen Xing for so many years and to produce so many experts, it was certainly not illogical. Chapter 379: Star Lord Palace Chapter 379: Star Lord Palace Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Following Mo Wuji''s closed door cultivation, Zhen Xing was peaceful; Broken Sect cultivators continued to be arrested, and Zhen Xing returned back to its original path. At the beginning, a few hall masters and elders of Star King Mountain were still worried that the Broken Sect''s Sect Head Zhu Qu would suddenly appear after he recuperated from his injuries. However, after experiencing four months of calm, Star King Mountain was able to put their hearts at ease. ¡­ This was already the fifth month of Mo Wuji¡¯s closed door cultivation. Even though the Star Lord Mountain had the densest concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Zhen Xing, Mo Wuji was still in True God Stage Level 10 after 5 months. True God Stage Level 11 still seemed far from reach, much less the Worldly Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji had also predicted that when he was at this level, he could only slowly raise his cultivation assiduously. Unless he managed to find those spirit stone slags from the Half Moon Prison, there wasn''t any shortcut that he could take. After confining himself for five consecutive months, and using all sorts of spiritual items to no avail, Mo Wuji left his closed doors. He was worried that Broken Sect''s Sect Head Zhu Qu would act against Star King Mountain. Even though there were many Worldly Immortals in Star King Mountain, the person with the highest cultivation, Sang Caihe, was far from being a match for Zhu Qu. When Mo Wuji just left Star Lord Mountain, he instantly saw Chi Huo''Er. Chi Huo''Er was like a straight javelin, standing right at the center of the defensive array outside Star Lord Mountain. "Manager Chi, what are you going here?" Mo Wuji landed by Chi Huo''Er''s side and asked quizzically. Star Lord Mountain was enveloped in boundless spiritual energy, and at the same time, it was protected by Star King Mountain''s strongest defensive array. Without Mo Wuji''s permission, no one was allowed to enter Star King Mountain. Thus, there was no need for someone to stand guard. Chi Huo''Er standing here left Mo Wuji rather confused. Chi Huo''Er immediately bowed, "I¡¯ve always been the defender of the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. As long as the Star King Mountain lives, I will continue to protect Star Lord Mountain." Mo Wuji was secretly speechless. This Chi Huo''Er was at least over a thousand years old? Could he have stood guard over here for hundreds of years? "Manager Chi, the time I spend behind closed doors is uncertain. In the future, you don''t need to stand guard here," Mo Wuji responded. He knew that as a Worldly Immortal, what Chi Huo''Er needed to do now was to spend his time cultivating, and not waste his time on doing this guard duty. Chi Huo''Er shook his head, "This is my duty. Moreover, when I stand here, I can borrow the Star Lord Mountain''s spiritual energy to cultivate." Seeing that Chi Huo¡¯Er would not be swayed by his persuasions, Mo Wuji asked, "During my closed doors, did anything happen in the Universal Hall? And did Zhu Qu continue to do anything?" "Under the protection of the hall masters and elders, Zhen Xing has returned back to stable state. Zhu Qu and that Space Wolf King have yet to appear. Also, Tian Chi Manor''s Yan Huimeng came to visit the Star Lord twice. When she heard that the Star Lord was behind closed doors, she only said that she''ll pay a visit in the future,"Chi Huo''Er replied hurriedly. Mo Wuji originally wanted to inquire about Zhu Qu''s matter. When be heard that Zhu Qu did not appear, there was no longer a need for him to find Su Xuan and co. On the other hand, he wasn¡¯t familiar with Yan Huimeng, so he casually asked, "Why did the Tian Chi Manor¡¯s manor lord come?" Chi Huo¡¯Er answered, "For a long time, the prettiest women in Zhen Mo Continent have come from Tian Chi Manor. Many of the Worldly Immortal experts from Star King Mountain have dao companions that come from Tian Chi Manor. This generation¡¯s Tian Chi Manor Lord, Yan Huimeng, has a disciple called Zhuang Xiyue, whose beauty was like a fairy, beautifully enrapturing. That Yan Huimeng originally wanted to bethrothed Zhuang Xiyue to Lei Hongji. However, Lei Hongji had betrayed Star King Mountain. Even though Yan Huimeng didn¡¯t clearly state her intentions, she should be here to betroth her disciple, Zhuang Xiyue, to the Star Lord." So it was just a small matter; Mo Wuji immediately cast it aside. Ever since he came to Zhen Xing, he only had two loved ones. One was Yan¡¯Er, who supported him in his time of poverty. The other was Cen Shuyin, who truly moved his heart. Yan¡¯Er¡¯s memories of him had already disappeared, and in exchange, her cultivation swelled rapidly. She¡¯s now following beside the experienced Bei Suting, so she shouldn¡¯t have faced any problems. Cen Shuyin had perished within his embrace. No one else could replace her position in his heart. To him, it didn¡¯t matter how beautiful other women were, they were merely as transient as fleeting clouds. His heart would not belong to any other woman. Just when he was thinking whether he should continue to go back into closed doors, Chi Huo¡¯Er suddenly asked, "Star Lord¡¯s cultivation doesn¡¯t seem to have improved much. I wonder if you¡¯ve been to the Star Lord Palace?" Mo Wuji startled, asking immediately, "What¡¯s the Star Lord Palace?" He was indeed a Star Lord, but he had never truly seen himself as the Star Lord. Him being a Star Lord, and him coming to Star King Mountain, were all things that happened by accident. Fortunately, Star King Mountain had the Star Lord Mountain. This place was suitable for him to cultivate, which was why he stayed behind. Otherwise, he might not have stayed here. He really couldn¡¯t be bothered about the matters of Star King Mountain. The only time when he used his power as the Star Lord was when he hunted the Broken Sect. As the Star Lord, he gathered a group of Worldly Immortal experts to pursue and hunt Zhu Qu down. Thereafter, he chose to immediately enter closed door cultivation within Star King Mountain. He knew of the Star Lord Hall, however, this was really his first time hearing of Star Lord Palace. This time, it was Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s turn to be startled. Luckily, he reacted quickly and said promptly, "When the Star Lord was cultivating, you probably didn¡¯t explore around." Mo Wuji nodded; these words were true. When he was cultivating in Star Lord Mountain, he truly didn¡¯t explore around the area. However, he did scan the area with his spiritual will, and he knew that there was still an altar on Star Lord Mountain. Below that altar, there were several memorial tablets. From Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, they should be the memorial tablets of the previous Star Lords. In actuality, he did indeed see Chi Tong¡¯s and Wu Lingzhi¡¯s memorial tablet. Whether it was Chi Tong or Wu Lingzhi, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very familiar with them. This was even more so for the other Star Lords, so he didn¡¯t bother looking through the tablets. There was no need for Mo Wuji to reply; Chi Huo¡¯Er could already tell that Mo Wuji had not entered into the Star Lord Palace. Thus, he had to explain, "Under that altar on Star Lord Mountain resides the Star Lord Palace. That is where the memorial tablets of the previous Star Lords lie. These Star Lords, have either broken through the void, perished or went missing over the years. Because Star Lord Wu was caught up with the foreign invasion, he had never had the time to visit the Star Lord Palace. Thus, he did not leave behind anything in the Star Lord Palace. At the same time, he didn¡¯t take anything from the previous Star Lord." "You¡¯re saying that the Star Lord Palace has things left behind by the previous Star Lords?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. Chi Huo¡¯Er nodded, "Yes. Before leaving Star King Mountain, every Star Lord would leave something behind in the Star Lord Palace. These things were meant for the successive Star Lords." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding. He hurriedly said, "Manager Chi, follow me to the Star Lord Palace. Are there any conditions to enter?" "The Star Lord just needs to bring the Star Lord Token, then you can enter the Star Lord Palace," Chi Huo¡¯Er replied. Even though Mo Wuji knew that he was only a temporary Star Lord, he had the Star Lord Token on him. He nodded and said, "Then let¡¯s go." "Yes." Chi Huo¡¯Er did not hesitate even a single moment to respond to the Star Lord¡¯s command. ¡­ Besides the place where Mo Wuji entered closed door cultivation, there was only that altar in Star Lord Mountain. When Mo Wuji and Chi Huo¡¯Er entered the altar, he immediately saw a total of seven memorial tablets. First tablet, Qiao Aolun. Below it, there were some small words inscribed on the tablet. Qiao Aolun; Founded Star King Mountain: Reformed Universal Hall; Star King Mountain¡¯s First Star Lord; Star Lord for 341 years; Broke through the void. Second tablet. Qing Niao; Star King Mountain¡¯s Second Star Lord; Star Lord for 777 years; Missing. Third tablet. Le Tianyi; Star King Mountain¡¯s Third Star Lord; Star Lord for 432 years: Perished in the Star Wars Battlefield. Fourth tablet. Lou Chuanhe; Star King Mountain¡¯s Fourth Star Lord; Star Lord for 521 years; Missing. Fifth tablet. Han Li; Star King Mountain¡¯s Fifth Star Lord. Star Lord for 263 years; Missing. Sixth tablet. Chi Tong; Star King Mountain¡¯s Sixth Star Lord; Star Lord for 348 years; Perished in the Star Wars Battlefield. Seventh tablet. Wu Lingzhi; Star King Mountain¡¯s Seventh Star Lord; Star Lord for 6 years. Perished by assassination. Seven Star Lords. Except for the First Star Lord, the other six either perished or went missing. This was a little too unlucky, right? Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything, his heart was a little uncomfortable. He was the Star King Mountain¡¯s Eighth Star Lord, would he also follow down the same road to perish or go missing? By the side, Chi Huo¡¯Er noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s expression. He could only sigh and say, "Actually, our First Star Lord Qiao also went missing. "Why?" Mo Wuji stared at Chi Huo¡¯Er in aghast. Just now, he was still thinking that there was a Star Lord that broke through the void. In the blink of an eye, it changed. Chi Huo¡¯Er shook his head, "This old servant also doesn¡¯t know." Mo Wuji could only say, "Since that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s leave it. Bring me to see what Star Lord Chi had left behind." Seeing that Mo Wuji did not pursue this matter, Chi Huo¡¯Er heaved a sigh of relief. He pointed towards the back of the seven memorial tablets and said, "There¡¯s actually an array gate here. As long as you approach with the Star Lord Token, the array gate would automatically open." Mo Wuji brought out his Star Lord Token and walked over. Indeed, an array gate opened. A flood of rich spiritual energy rushed out. A golden flight of steps appeared in front of the two. Mo Wuji started walking down the steps. This flight of steps was not short; there were at least 100 steps. When he reached the final step, Mo Wuji was greeted by a grand hall. This hall was splendid and magnificent; it did not look like a structure that was built underground. There were three ranking boards erected at the center of the grand hall. Mo Wuji discovered that among three of the ranking boards, two of them had his name on it. Chi Huo¡¯Er noticed that Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze had landed on the ranking boards, and he hurriedly said, "These are the three King Boards. Only those who have ranked first on the Mortal, Earth and Heaven Boards, qualify to enter these three King Boards." This was not the first day that Mo Wuji entered Zhen Xing; he had heard of the three King Boards before. He knew that the three King Boards were in Star King Mountain, and only the Star Lord knew where they were. He never expected that the three King Boards were situated here. Seeing that his name was first on both the Mortal King Board and Earth King Board, Mo Wuji was rather satisfied. When Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes landed on the Heaven King Board, he immediately frowned. Rank 1 on the Heaven King Board was a Lou Poyi. This was a rather peculiar name. However, this wasn¡¯t the reason why Mo Wuji frowned. He frowned because the person at Rank 2 of the Heaven King Board, was Zhu Qu. Chapter 380: The Things In The Star Lord Palace Chapter 380: The Things In The Star Lord Palace Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji soon dispelled his dissatisfaction; he believed that when he advanced into the Earthly Immortal Stage, he would definitely kick Zhu Qu¡¯s ass. So what if Zhu Qu cultivated a strong soul technique, and so what if his spiritual will had been honed to manifestation? I, Mo Wuji, only need my rapidly growing sea of consciousness and his violet elemental lake. As for the primordial spirit, keke, I don¡¯t need that. "Eh, this Lei Hongji is not bad ah. He¡¯s actually Rank 7 on the Earth King Board." On the Heaven King Board, besides Zhu Qu, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know anyone else. He then turned to the Earth King Board, and Lei Hongji¡¯s name astounded him. Chi Huo¡¯Er said in a solemn voice, "Star Lord, you must not underestimate this Lei Hongji. Star Lord Chi Tong believes, his true position should not be below the top 3." "Oh, why so?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically; Mo Wuji had never had an actual battle with Lei Hongji before, and he did not know exactly how strong Lei Hongji was. However, since Lei Hongji was able to snatch away the Half Moon Prison under the eyes of many experts, he was definitely not simple. "Star Lord Chi suspects that Lei Hongji¡¯s spiritual roots aren¡¯t ordinary spiritual roots. His talent seems to be constantly improving. As for the exact details, even Star Lord Chi isn¡¯t clear. However, it was because he noticed Lei Hongji¡¯s terrifying talent, that he decided to invite Lei Hongji into Star King Mountain," Chi Huo¡¯Er explained. Mo Wuji did not mind; Lei Hongji decided had his own aces, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have ranked within the top 10 of the Earth King Board. He was also the same, his meridians evolved together with his cultivation. Every time he opened a new meridian, his cultivation and power would soar rapidly. Passing the three boards, Mo Wuji saw a jade plate suspended in space. On the jade plate, there were six jade boxes. Before Mo Wuji asked anything, Chi Huo¡¯Er pointed at the jade plate and said, "This jade plate is the Star Lord Plate. Before every Star Lord went out on a mission, they would place their most valuable object here. If the Star Lord didn¡¯t manage to return, the object would be left behind for the next Star Lord." Mo Wuji nodded, walked to the jade plate and extended his hand to grab a jade box. The jade box was enveloped in restrictions, causing spiritual will to be unable to seep through. Mo Wuji opened the the jade box, a pale green group lay quietly within the jade box. Nine Radish Space Fruit? Mo Wuji was instantly startled. He immediately came to a realisation; this was truly a Nine Radish Space Fruit. He had obtained one of this fruit before, it was from the white-eyed wolf¡¯s storage ring. If described according to value, then the Ning Radish Space Fruit was undoubtedly the most valuable spirit fruit among Tier 8 spirit fruits. It was a precious treasure that could allow a Great Circle of True God cultivator advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage. Even if it wasn¡¯t refined into a pill, it¡¯s value would still be astronomical. Star King Mountain had quite a decent stash of Tier 8 spiritual objects, but it did not have a Nine Radish Space Fruit in its treasury. This fruit was able to help him advance at least one level. After he reached True God Stage Level 11, he would use this fruit to directly catapult into True God Stage Level 12. Good thing, I¡¯ll keep it. The first object was already so valuable, causing Mo Wuji to look towards the later jade boxes with greater anticipation. The moment Mo Wuji opened the second jade box, he was swept by a wave of refreshing spiritual energy, evoking a sense of inconceivable excitement in his heart. This spiritual energy was very familiar ah. It was from the spirit stone slags he obtained from the Half Moon Prison. Indeed, the jade box contained spirit stone slags. There weren¡¯t many spirit stone slags inside; Mo Wuji counted, there were a total of 15 slags. This was some truly good stuff. With this box of spirit stone slags, what¡¯s there a need for worry? In addition to that Nine Radish Space Fruit, he could definitely advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage in a short time. Mo Wuji impatiently opened the third jade box; it also had 15 spirit stone slags. The fourth, fifth and sixth jade boxes were also exactly the same. Except for the first box which contained the Nine Radish Space Fruit, the remaining five boxes were filled with spirit stone slags. Mo Wuji suppressed his emotions and said, "I never thought that Star Lord Chi Tong had actually went into the Half Moon Immortal Palace before, and even kept the spirit stone slags from the Half Moon Immortal Palace here." However, Chi Huo¡¯Er said, "That Nine Radish Space Fruit was placed here by Star Lord Chi. The spirit stone slags were left behind by the Second Star Lord, Qing Niao¡­" Noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s look of confusion, Chi Huo¡¯Er continued, "When Qing Niao was the Star Lord, the Half Moon Immortal Palace appeared. Then, Star Lord Qing and several Zhen Xing experts entered Half Moon Immortal Palace. The Star King Mountain¡¯s three great clans was founded after that venture into the Half Moon Immortal Palace. Star Lord Qing suffered a heavy injury in Half Moon Immortal Palace. When he returned, he announced that he would go behind closed doors. Star Lord Qing emerged after 100 years, but he suddenly left Star King Mountain. Thereafter, there was no longer any news for him. Because of Star Lord Qing¡¯s departure, Star King Mountain was left without a Star Lord, sending Star King Mountain into a power struggle. Once it started, it lasted for over 1000 years. After 1000 over years, a stellar genius appeared in Zhen Xing. He was the Third Star Lord Le Tianyi. Le Tianyi forcefully suppressed the three great clans and revived Star King Mountain. Unfortunately, before Star Lord Le could fully destroy the three great clans, a terrifying war broke out in the Star Wars Battlefield. Star Lord Le perished during that battle." Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s voice brought with it a hint of melancholy, seemingly thinking, if Le Tianyi didn¡¯t perish, how would a mere Zhu Qu act so arrogantly in Zhen Xing? "The Fourth Star Lord Lou Chuanhe was Star Lord Le¡¯s disciple. After Star Lord Le perished, he made vigorous efforts to turn the tide, and Star King Mountain survived the war. However, to pursue the killer of the Third Star Lord, who was also his master, Star Lord Lou went deep into space. He never returned." When he got to this point, Chi Huo¡¯Er pointed to those jade boxes and said, "Previously, Star Lord Qing left behind a total of 7 jade boxes. Thereafter, several of the successive Star Lords used a portion of them. Those that were left unused, where left behind here for the next Star Lord. Star Lord Chi took one of the jade boxes. Eventually, he managed to obtain a Nine Radish Space Fruit, and left it behind here." When Mo Wuji heard these words, he suddenly felt very ashamed. Compared to the previous Star Lords, he seemed to be extremely selfish. When he first saw what was in the six jade boxes, the first thing that crossed his mind was not to leave some behind for the next Star Lord. Instead, he wished that there were more of such jade boxes. Compared to the selflessness of the previous Star Lords, he was truly so selfish. Even Chi Huo¡¯Er, spent hundreds of years like days to defend Star Lord Mountain. This also caused Mo Wuji to feel shame. Seeming to have noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s guilt, Chi Huo¡¯Er said, "For most of the previous Star Lords, Star Lord Mountain was enough for their cultivation. Only when they needed to break through a bottleneck, would they use this sort of spirit stone slag. I see that Star Lord Mo¡¯s technique seems to require large amounts of spiritual energy, so Star Lord doesn¡¯t need to worry too much. Since these things have been left behind by the previous Star Lords, feel free to use them as you wish." Over the past few months, Chi Huo¡¯Er had been assiduously guarding outside Mo Wuji¡¯s Star Lord Mountain. He was familiar with the mad rates at which Mo Wuji absorbed spiritual energy; he knew that typical cultivation resources would never be enough for this new Star Lord. "Many thanks Manager Chi for telling me this. I have this, that¡¯s already enough. Leave the rest for the next Star Lord then," Mo Wuji only took the Nine Radish Space Fruit and two jade boxes of spirit stone slag. To say that the Star Lord Mountain¡¯s spiritual energy was sufficient for the previous Star Lords, Mo Wuji definitely didn¡¯t believe such words. Even if they didn¡¯t need that much cultivation resources, these spirit stone slags would be able to boost their cultivation rapidly. Mo Wuji did not believe that the previous Star Lords didn¡¯t know that. Everyone knew, but they took these spirit stone slags only when it¡¯s necessary. Ostensibly, the previous Star Lords were principled men. Mo Wuji was the Star Lord. Since he had made the decision, Chi Huo¡¯Er naturally wouldn¡¯t say anything. Mo Wuji slighly hesitated; he then took a cultivation manual and placed it on the jade plate. After which, he said, "Manager Chi, let¡¯s go." Mo Wuji took out his Immortal Mortal Reverse Technique. He felt that since he took what he needed from Star King Mountain, he should leave something behind. The true Immortal Mortal Technique belonged to Tian Ji Sect. He was the Tian Ji Sect Head, so he naturally couldn¡¯t leave it to Star King Mountain. However, this reverse circulation technique was modified by himself. If anyone was able to cultivate it in the future, then it could be considered fate. "Yes." Towards Mo Wuji¡¯s action of leaving something behind on the jade plate, Chi Huo¡¯Er didn¡¯t have any comments. When they left Star Lord Palace, Mo Wuji was just about to tell Chi Huo¡¯Er that he would continue his cultivation when Chi Huo¡¯Er suddenly said, "Hall Master Su just sent a message, saying that Tian Chi Manor¡¯s Yan Huimeng had come again to pay a visit to the Star Lord. Is the Star Lord free to meet her?" Mo Wuji did not hesitate to wave his hand, "There¡¯s no need. Tell her, my cultivation is meeting a critical point, I would need at least a year¡¯s time before I emerge." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a half bit interested towards this sort of match making. He now had a Nine Radish Space Fruit and 30 spirit stone slags. This was enough for him to reach the Worldly Immortal Stage. By the time he ascended to become a Worldly Immortal and trained to the fourth level of his Xing Word Manual, even if he wasn¡¯t able to beat Zhu Qu, it wouldn¡¯t be like last time, right? ¡­ Star Lord Hall. Su Xuan was personally hosting a luxurious young woman. Behind this luxurious young woman, there was an elegant and graceful young girl in a white dress. This young girl¡¯s looks, was enough to make Su Xuan, an expert whose cultivation was greatly superior, to feel ashamed of her own appearance. This luxurious young woman was the Tian Chi Manor Lord Yan Huimeng who had come several times to visit Mo Wuji. This white dressed young girl was her disciple Zhuang Xiyue, and also the current number one beauty in Zhen Mo Continent. "Manor Lord Yan, Manager Chi has already received the news. He will be coming over shortly." Su Xuan¡¯s tone was genial, and she was extremely polite. Even though she was now the second most powerful person in Star King Mountain, she did not dare show the slightest hint of arrogance in front of the Tian Chi Manor¡¯s manor lord. Yan Huimeng¡¯s face did not reveal a hint of impatience, she maintained a smile and said, "There is no hurry. The stronger the Star Lord becomes, the better it is for Zhen Xing." "Star Lord Mountain¡¯s Manager Chi Huo¡¯Er greets Hall Master Su and Manor Lord Yan." In between Yan Huimeng¡¯s words, Chi Huo¡¯Er walked in. Yan Huimeng did not see Mo Wuji; a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. She immediately said, "Manager Chi is too courteous. The Star Lord is still not out?" Chi Huo¡¯Er said in a slightly apologetic tone, "The Star Lord still needs one more year before he comes out. We¡¯ve truly been a poor host to the manor lord." The disappointment in Yan Huimeng¡¯s eyes had long disappeared. She continued to maintain her smile and said, "There¡¯s no hurry. I came here also to ask the Star Lord something. Does he know of a person called Mo Tiancheng?" [1] [1] I¡¯m so tilted at this cliffhanger. Chapter 381: Cultivation Improvements Chapter 381: Cultivation Improvements Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Chi Huo¡¯Er smiled faintly, "I''m afraid this will have to wait till the Star Lord emerges before he can answer you." He only had one mission in Star King Mountain: To serve the Star Lord. Now that Mo Wuji had obtained the Half Moon Immortal Palace''s spirit stone slags, as well as the Nine Radish Space Fruit, Mo Wuji naturally needed to cultivate. As for female matters, he was extremely satisfied with the Star Lord''s way of handling it. Because in his, Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s eyes, this was unnecessary. Su Xuan, however, was able to make out the meaning implied behind Yan Huimeng¡¯s words, and asked immediately, "Manor Lord Yan, could this Mo Tiancheng be related to the Star Lord?" The current Star Lord, Mo Wuji, and this Mo Tiancheng mentioned by Yan Huimeng both had the same surname "Mo". If they were not related, she believed that Yan Huimeng would not casually mention it. How could the Tian Chi Manor Lord be a simple person? If she didn''t see Mo Wuji with favour, why would see visit Star King Mountain repeatedly? Moreover, Su Xuan was sure that Yan Huimeng did not come out with this "Mo Tiancheng" out of no where. Perhaps she had specially investigated on Mo Wuji''s origins and had uncovered the relationship between Mo Wuji and Mo Tiancheng. Yan Huimeng smiled gently, "I''m also not too sure about this. I would need to ask the Star Lord personally to confirm it." She strongly believed that the reason why Mo Wuji did not meet her, wasn''t because he was behind closed doors, but because he didn''t care about this sort of matchmaking. The reason why he didn''t care was very simple, it''s because Star Lord Mo had yet to meet Xiyue. If Star Lord Mo met Xiyue, he definitely wouldn''t find excuses to avoid this matter. Su Xuan''s gaze shifted to Chi Huo''Er. Chi Huo''Er did not hesitate to say, "At this moment, the Star Lord is in a critical moment of his cultivation. If we were to interrupt him, it definitely wouldn''t be good for the Star Lord." In Chi Huo''Er''s eyes, the Star Lord''s matters outweigh everything else. Since the Star Lord had instructed him beforehand, then he would follow according to the instructions. Even if this Mo Tiancheng was the Star Lord''s father, Chi Huo''Er still wouldn''t disturb the Star Lord''s cultivation. Yan Huimeng''s eyes revealed a hint of disappointment, she immediately stood up and said, "Since that''s the case, after the Star Lord comes out, I will pay a visit if I''m free." Su Xuan knew that Yan Huimeng was a little frustrated, otherwise, she wouldn''t have added "if I''m free" at the back. The meaning behind these words were, she might not even come back again. If the Star Lord wanted to know of Mo Tiancheng''s matters, then he would have to pay a visit to Tian Chi Manor. ¡­ "Xiyue, don''t you always blame me for not considering your opinion when I search for your dao companion?" After leaving Star King Mountain, Yan Huimeng suddenly asked. Donned in a white dress and endowed with beautiful facial features, Zhuang Xiyue hurriedly shook her head, "My life was saved by master. No matter what master asks me to do, I will do it willingly. I would never blame master." She did not say these words for the sake of saying them; back when her master arranged for her to be dao companions with Lei Hongji, she agreed. Now that her master brought her to Star King Mountain to be dao companions with the Star Lord, she also wouldn''t express any dissent. All the while, she always had a "grin and bear it" personality. Even though she might have some rejection deep in her heart, this sort of rejection was merely subconscious. She definitely wouldn¡¯t mention it in front of her master. Yan Huimeng sighed and said, "Actually, Zhen Xing isn''t safe. You know why my Tian Chi Manor''s women seem to always marry sect heads or experts of Star King Mountain? It''s because we don''t have a sense of security. As for whether the foreign invaders had been fully chased away after the previous attack, still remains a mystery." "Didn''t they say that Star King Mountain''s Star Lord Mo had used a space cannon to kill all the alien cultivators and space beasts?" Zhuang Xiyue asked in doubt. Yan Huimeng smiled self deprecatingly, "Xiyue, do you think that there''s such an impressive space cannon?" Seeing that Zhuang Xiyue had remained silent, she continued, "But I''m sure of one thing, the disappearance of those foreign invaders is definitely related to that Mo Wuji. Perhaps he used a cannon, but it was no space cannon. Moreover, the recent matters with the Broken Sect, is definitely related to Mo Wuji as well. The Broken Sect had issued a public wanted order for the Star Lord, and they killed ten castellans of Star King Mountain, but the Star King Mountain wasn''t able to react. It was only until Mo Wuji returned to Star King Mountain, that the Star King Mountain start to hunt down the members of Broken Sect. Now, it seems like the Broken Sect has been completed eradicated fro. Zhen Mo Continent." "Star King Mountain is filled with experts. Previously, it should be because they were waiting for the Star Lord to return before they issue out any orders, right?" Zhuang Xiyue was increasingly confused. Yan Huimeng laughed coldly, "You think that Hall Master Su wouldn''t dare to issue out an attack on Broken Sect? Let me tell you, it must be because Star King Mountain knew that the Broken Sect was too strong, which was why they didn''t dare to do so. The strength of the Broken Sect, should be because of its sect head. This sect head is of mysterious origins, and after he came to Zhen Mo Continent, he managed to control the entire assassins guild, and eventually convert it to the Broken Sect." After saying so much, Yan Huimeng finally slowed down, "I even suspect that the Broken Sect''s lair had been destroyed by this Star Lord Mo. The reason why the Broken Sect''s sect head hasn''t done anything yet, should be because he was heavily injured, or is currently plotting something." "He''s so impressive?" Zhuang Xiyue asked in astonishment. She knew that Mo Wuji was Rank 1 on the Earth Board, and he was even Rank 1 on the Mortal Board. But be it the Mortal Board or the Earth Board, they only showed the person''s potential. The Broken Sect''s sect head should at least be a Worldly Immortal right? According to her master, if the various hall masters of Star King Mountain weren''t willing to offend that sect head, then he might even be an Earthly Immortal. Could a person with shocking talent and potential even match with a Worldly Immortal or Earthly Immortal now? That should wait till a few years later ah. Yan Huimeng nodded, "It''s because he''s very impressive that I came to visit multiple times. Otherwise, my Tian Chi Manor''s women are all proud children of Heaven. Who was this Mo Wuji to deserve my Tian Chi Manor''s repeated visits?" "Master, fate is still determined individually. Let''s not come down another time," Zhuang Xiyue lowered her head and said, she felt a little wronged. Yan Huimeng stroked Zhuang Xiyue''s long hair, giving a long sigh. After a long time, she said, "Alright then. We won''t come again. Ai¡­" "Master, if you''re not willing, then I can come by myself in the future." Hearing her master''s sigh, Zhuang Xiyue felt that she should not have asked for her master not to come anymore. However, she did not consider what she should do if she came alone. Yan Huimeng shook her head, "Xiyue, in the past, when Zhen Xing''s cultivators reach the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage, they can break through the void and achieve flight. It''s said that they fly towards the Immortal Realm. However, ever the past thousands of years, flight has already become a legend. Not only our Zhen Xing, but this is also the same for many of the alien tribes around us. In this few short years, this Mo Wuji is able to reach such high degrees of power. I believe that he could upend this balance in the future. It''s exactly because of this, that I brought you here. If you were his dao companion, then perhaps one day, he could bring you out of Zhen Xing, and into the realm of Immortals." "Master¡­" Zhuang Xiyue was thoroughly moved, her voice started to sound a little choked. "You know why so many of the previous Star Lords disappeared? And why there aren''t any more supreme Earthly Immortals in Zhen Xing? Because when they cultivate to a certain stage, they would feel that the Heaven and Earth are restraining their steps upon the grand path of Dao. That''s why they each left Zhen Xing, hoping to find that fabled Immortal Realm." "Ah¡­" This was Zhuang Xiyue''s first time hearing her master talk about the Immortal Realm. It all seemed like a legend. ¡­ On Star Lord Mountain. The spiritual energy around Mo Wuji started to sweep up violently. Once again, Mo Wuji felt the glee from the rapid rush of spiritual energy. This time, he was not in the Lightning Provenance, he wouldn''t use all the spirit stone slags to cultivate. After knowing the benefits of the spirit stone slags, Mo Wuji merely used them to arouse the surrounding energy. He would then furiously absorb the spiritual energy of Star Lord Mountain. "Boom!" In merely a months time, Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians started to tremble under the surge of elemental energy. His silent True God Stage Level 10, was not directly exploded. True God Stage Level 11. After stabilising his cultivation, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to eat the Nine Radish Space Fruit. This was his plan; he would first charge into True God Stage Level 11, then with the help of the Nine Radish Space Fruit, he would advance into Level 12. After he reached Level 12, he would then use the spirit stone slags to charge into the Worldly Immortal Stage. The moment the Nine Radish Space Fruit entered his mouth, it transformed into a fiery ball of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was different from the pure spiritual energy from the surroundings; it contained a hint of the Dao. It was different from the first time he ate the Nine Radish Space Fruit; Mo Wuji was more experienced now. The first time he ate the Nine Radish Space Fruit, he merely absorbed the spiritual energy. He did not absorb and gain insights from the dao halos. This time, Mo Wuji borrowed the help of the Star Lord Mountain¡¯s spiritual energy and the spirit stone slags. His attunements with the Nine Radish Space Fruit was much stronger. Spiritiual energy seemed to have been compressed, then swept into Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians. With the help of spirit stone slags and the dao halos from the Nine Radish Space Fruit, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation was rapidly improving. At this time, Mo Wuji felt that it was truly a great pity. He knew that using the Nine Radish Space Fruit like this was akin to mice eating rice, it was a waste. If it was a waste now, it was a greater waste previously. For a spirit fruit like the Nine Radish Space Fruit, it had to be concocted into a spiritual pill for it to be worth. However, to concoct the Nine Radish Space Fruit into a pill, it would require one to at least be a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner. He was barely a Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner now. His distance from a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner was as far as 108,000 li. [1] Under the envelope of spiritual energy, time passed in a flash. One month, two months, three months¡­ The seventh month passed. Mo Wuji''s two hands started to continuously form all sorts of hand seals. When the seals merged together in midair, he broke through True God Stage Level 11 and advanced into Level 12. What would previously require 10 years or even 100 years to attain, was achieved in merely seven months. Mo Wuji opened his eyes, but he did not celebrate madly. To him, this was not something worth being happy about. He was in the Star Lord Mountain, a place where spiritual energy was rich to a terrifying degree. He even used the Nine Radish Space Fruit and the spirit stone slags, and all his 106 meridians simultaneously reverse circulated. To advance into True God Stage Level 12 in 7 months, was truly not something to be happy about. Fortunately, when he advanced from True God Stage Level 10 to Level 12, he did not use many spirit stone slags; he merely used 7. Mo Wuji fetched out all 20 plus remaining stone slags. He did not hesitate, he must charge straight into the Worldly Immortal Stage. [1] This is the distance travelled in the Journey to the West. Chapter 382: Massacred City Chapter 382: Massacred City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Nine Mo City. Su Xuan¡¯s entire body was trembling. By her side, Sang Caihe and Yan Ze were clenching their fists tightly; their eyes were red and they were surrounded by killing intent. No one spoke. The miserable plight in front of them, caused them to be unable to utter a single word. Nine Mo City could be said to be the number one cultivator city in the entire Zhen Mo Continent. But now, it was like a ghost town. Besides the three of them, there was no other hint of life. The entire city seemed to have been engulfed in fire; it was completely charred black. The first city past Piercing Wind City was Nine Mo City. This wasn¡¯t only the most important city in Zhen Mo, it was also the most highly populated one. In the entire Nine Mo City, the number of cultivators, mortals, passing merchants and soldiers numbered close to a billion. This billion of people were now slaughtered into nothingness; not a single one survived. Even the city was burnt beyond recognition. "Who did this¡­" After some time, Yan Ze roared out furiously. His fists were clenched so tightly that even blood flowed out. Nine Mo City was Zhen Mo¡¯s wellspring of prosperity and life. It was also the true origins of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s strength. Now that Nine Mo City was obliterated, it was akin to eliminating 20% of all life on Zhen Mo Continent. Even if they could recover from it, it was still a devastating wound. And the castellan of Nine Mo City, was Mo Wuji¡¯s newly appointed hall master of Wu Xiang Hall, Fei Chao. As for the previous Monk Wu Xiang, he was already expelled from Star King Mountain by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had also let Chi Huo¡¯Er strip Monk Wu Xiang of his Wu Xiang Army. At this instant, a faint wave of life could be felt. Su Xuan and co. instantly brought their attention towards it. Yan Ze raised his hand and swept across the rubble and debri. A fracture appeared within the rubble, and an emaciated man climbed out from the rubble. "Hall Master Fei? You¡¯re still alive?" Su Xuan emotionally took a step forward. Fei Chao was indeed still alive, but he was barely so. His entire body was stained in blood and his spiritual energy was in shambles. He was clearly heavily injured. "Don¡¯t care about me, hurry inform the Star Lord¡­" Before Fei Chao could finish his sentence, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and became even more spiritless. Yan Ze placed a pill into Fei Chao¡¯s mouth, and lowered his voice and said, "Things have already happened. Speak slowly. I believe that no matter who did it, the Star Lord definitely wouldn¡¯t let him go. Our Star King Mountain and the entire Zhen Xing would not let him go. Yan Ze had slowly calmed down from his initial extreme frustration. He knew, that anger was not a solution to this problem; revenge was. Only blood can repay the debt of blood. However, the person who could destroy Nine Mo City was no simple person. Facing such an expert, they needed to be calm. Fei Chao also calmed down, and said in a choking voice, "There were three people who destroyed Nine Mo City. Out of the three, I know two of them. One of them was the Broken Sect¡¯s Sect Head Zhu Qu. The other is the Space Wolf King¡¯s eldest son, Cang Jue. The third person looked a little familiar. A faint outline of a ear could be seen in between his eyebrows, making him look extremely weird¡­" Listening to Fei Chao¡¯s words, Su Xuan and co. inhaled a breath of cold air. Zhu Qu had indeed revealed himself, and the moment he did, he instantly razed Nine Mo City to the ground. Even if Fei Chao didn¡¯t continue to say anything, everyone knew that this was definitely not the end. Su Xuan and co. were even more familiar with Cang Jue. This was the Space Wolf King¡¯s eldest son. When the Space Wolf King is not present, he would be the master of the Wolf King Mountain. Moreover, Cang Jue¡¯s cultivation was also incredibly strong; he was a space beast at the beginning of Class 9. This was an existence akin to an elementary Earthly Immortal Stage cultivator. He also had a nickname: Single-Horned Wolf King. "I know the third person, he should be Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s Hoover. Even though he is in the Worldly Immortal Stage and is very strong, he is more adept with the art of bewitching," Yan Ze said. Feu Chao contined, "After Zhu Qu was struck in the back of his skull by the Star Lord, he did not seem to have fully recovered. But that Cang Jue was extremely powerful. If I did not have a Grade 9 concealment talisman, I would have already lost my life." When Su Xuan heard this, she immediately said, "Hall Master Fei, you¡¯ll immediately return back to Star King Mountain. Tell the Star Lord of this matter. Even if the Star Lord is behind closed doors, you will need to let the Star Lord know at the earliest time possible. Sister Sang and I will head over to Universal Hall. Since Cang Jue could only have come from space, that means that Universal Hall is in danger. Hall Master Yan, immediately head to Piercing Wind City, it must not end up like Nine Mo City." ¡­ Star Lord Mountain. "Bang!" Violent elemental energy drained out of Mo Wuji, directly tearing Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes into shreds. Mo Wuji suddenly stood up; the spiritual energy around him constantly made roars of explosions. At this instantly, the spiritual energy on Star Lord Mountain had already been condensed into a physical manifestation, enveloping Mo Wuji within. Mo Wuji could feel his power rising and swelling rapidly by multiple folds. He even had this slight impulse to lift his hand and tear the void in front of him. He knew that this was just an illusion, but his violent elemental energy and his rapidly growing violet elemental lake signified that his power was truly increasing crazily. "Boom!" A bolt of lightning descended from the clouds. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to rush out of where he had his closed doors cultivation, landing at the top of Star Lord Mountain. At almost the same instant Mo Wuji rushed out, 7 to 8 thick bolts of lightning whistled down. Mo Wuji forcefully calmed himself down, all 106 of his meridians formed a giant circulation web. He was like a whale swallowing water as he absorbed copious amounts of spiritual energy. Both his fists had already been punched out; he knew that his Worldly Immortal Tribulation had arrived. After passing this tribulation, he would become a true Worldly Immortal expert. Perhaps his reverse circulation technique required far more cultivation resources than other people. But it was not all bad and no good. At least, he wasn¡¯t stuck in bottlenecks like other people. To put it in other words, as long as he accumulated the required spiritual energy, he would naturally reach the next stage. If it was some other cultivator, they would need to find some spiritual object to help them advance. This time, he had used 20 over spirit stone slags and the Star Lord Mountain¡¯s spiritual energy. After cultivating for four months, he was already welcoming the Worldly Immortal Tribulation. ¡­ Outside of Star Lord Mountain, Chi Huo¡¯Er saw the gigantic lightning clouds above Star lord Mountain and he immediately clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with emotions, he knew, the Star Lord was facing his tribulation. The Star Lord said that he would be in closed doors for one year. However, he thought that the Star Lord would require three to four years before he welcome the Worldly Immortal Tribulation. Unexpectedly, it really took the Star Lord one year to face the tribulation. He had followed many Star Lords; he had even served Star Lord Han Li before. However, if he must decide which Star Lord he was most contented with, it would be this Star Lord Mo in front of him. Star Lord Mo had a decisive personality, and his talent was something the previous Star Lords could never compare with. More importantly, Star Lord Mo was powerful enough to cause people to choke. If Chi Huo¡¯Er went back in time and told himself of the battle between Star Lord Mo and Zhu Qu 10,000 times, he still wouldn¡¯t believe that a True God could ambush Zhu Qu and even cause Zhu Qu to be heavily injured. But the reality was like so. Not only did the Star Lord ambush Zhu Qu, he even forced Zhu Qu to flee with heavy injuries. Chi Huo¡¯Er¡¯s excitement merely lasted half an incense of time, before his face changed. The lightning clouds above the summit of Star Lord Mountain became increasingly terrifying. That earthshaking roar, seemed capable of uprooting the entire Star King Mountain. He had been in Star King Mountain for so many years, and he had seen quite a number of people face their Worldly Immortal Tribulation. However, he had never seen a Worldly Immortal Tribulation as terrifying as Mo Wuji¡¯s. That huge and boundless lightning bolt came descending. How was this a Worldly Immortal Tribulation? It was clearly at the Earthly Immortal level, it was even more terrifying than an Earthly Immortal Tribulation. ¡­ "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thick lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji in continuous succession. Mo Wuji felt like every single cell in his body was on fire. He was extremely excited, yes, excited. He was not worried. Instead, he was looking forward to the tribulation. After cultivation in the Universal Lightning Provenance, one of the Extreme Realms, for countless of years, Mo Wuji was already used to all sorts of lightning bolts. However, compared to the fierce lightning from the Universal Lightning Provenance, the lightning bolts from the tribulation seemed to bring boundless otherworldly energy. Mo Wuji felt like he could feel enigmatic mysteries within the lightning. The lightning bolts became increasingly concentrated, increasingly thick. Mo Wuji, himself, did not know how many rounds of calamities he had passed. However, his entire body was still trembling in excitement. Lightning bolts endlessly struck against Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Besides crushing his bones apart, the lightning bolts transformed into inexhaustible lightning essense which entered into Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians. Under the reverse circulation of his 106 meridians, these lightning essense and spiritual energy was instantly converted into real power, causing his cultivation to rise continuously. Facing this sort of mad swelling of his power, the pain of his bones fracturing seemed nothing more than a tickle. In the past, he had experienced even worse pains than this. "Boom!" Another thick bolt of lightning descended. After Mo Wuji swept in the violent spiritual energy and lightning senses, the shackles in his body was exploded apart. A new world appeared in front of him. A dense turbidity rushed into his throat. Mo Wuji opened his mouth and roared, expelling that dense turbidity outwards. A new lease of life seemed to surge into his body. So this was the Worldly Immortal Stage. The lightning bolts continued to descend like a waterfall, but Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze was already on a distant cloud. His heart pumped with hot blood. He wanted to immediately find that Zhu Qu and battle him. Only now did Mo Wuji know the true difference between the True God Stage and the Worldly Immortal Stage. Perhaps to other people, they were both stages in the Heaven Realm. The difference between the two wouldn¡¯t be bigger than the difference between the Nihility God Stage and the True God Stage. However, now that he had ascended to become a Worldly Immortal, he understood that this difference could not be described with words. At this instant, he also understood why Zhu Qu, when he was in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, was able to kill someone at the elementary Earthly Immortal Stage. Zhu Qu and him were the same kind of people, or more accurately, Zhu Qu¡¯s cultivation technique was similar to his. They were both supreme techniques. Cultivating this sort of technique would cause their powers to swell by multiple folds every time they reached a higher stage. Rolling clouds of lightning were still above Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not care as he swept in all the energy from the lightning bolts. He took it all in, be it the unique spiritual energy or the lightning essence. This sort of opportunity did not happen frequently. He liked the feeling of his cultivation and power rising rapidly. Chapter 383: You Are Hoover Chapter 383: You Are Hoover Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ka!" The last bolt of lightning landed on Mo Wuji. Not even a scar was formed on Mo Wuji''s skin. The thunderous Star Lord Mountain had calmed down; Mo Wuji lamented slightly in his heart. These blasts of lightning was not only able to help him advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage, it had also helped him reach the pinnacle of Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. However, if only there was one more round of lightning, then perhaps he might have broken into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2. It was truly a pity. Perhaps among all cultivators experiencing tribulation, Mo Wuji was the only who would bemoan the lack of lightning. Just as Mo Wuji started to clean himself up, he noticed that his 106th meridian, the Dao Revelation Meridian, started to condense some energy. This energy instantly merged into his sea of consciousness. Faint insights appeared within Mo Wuji''s mind. As that energy started to merge more completely, his insights started to get clearer. Mo Wuji did not even form any hand seals, he just grabbed out with his bare hands. In an extremely short period of time, the space in from of him solidified. Even though it disappeared in an instant, Mo Wuji was still at loss in excitement. When his cultivation was very low, he already started fighting many experts. He had met with various kinds of spatial restraints, and he deeply knew how impressive they were. Whether they were spatial restraints of the five elements, or from elemental energy, they were all considered skills. Thus, before they could be displayed they had high requirements of one''s cultivation, and they also needed an accompanying set of hand seals. However, he had just used an instant solidification of space; it was based on his insights of space. Mo Wuji was already in the Worldly Immortal Stage, Hoe could he not know that this was no longer in the level of skills, but the echelon of sacred arts. After he gained insight on the Lightning Web skill, he actually managed to gain insight on a sacred art when he advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage. This sacred art did not require any hand seals, it was completely based on his understanding of space. Even when he advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji wasn''t as excited as he was now. At this instant, he was truly emotional. Spatial solidification, this was something that could change the entire course of a battle on the briefest of moments. When he ambushed Zhu Qu, what did he use? He used various schemes, and seven Worldly Immortals to attack the breaking point of Zhu Qu¡¯s cultivation technique. This gave him that slight chance to succeed in his ambush. Of course, all this was based on the premise of his skill with arrays and his understanding of Broken Sect''s cultivation technique. If he controlled this spatial solidification, even if he only managed to catch a single instant, he could have another chance to succeed in his ambush. "Haha¡­" Mo Wuji could not hold back the wild glee in his heart. Before this happened, he was very clear that even when he advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage, it would be very difficult for to get rid of Zhu Qu. He might not even be Zhu Qu''s match. But now that he controlled this spatial solidification, he really wanted to try his hand with Zhu Qu. Zhu Qu, I hope that the injury from that pole I gave you had recovered. Otherwise, it would soon be your funeral. In all his celebration, Mo Wuji no longer felt any worries. That carefree feeling allowed him to be at ease. "Boom!" At the very next instant, Mo Wuji suddenly felt a burst in power, pushing him from the pinnacle of Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 to Level 2. Indeed, cultivating your heart was as important as cultivation. Sometimes, a worry in the heart could adversely affect one''s cultivation. Even though he merely broke through in one level, Mo Wuji''s rewards were far more than that After using clear water to wash his body and changing his attire right down to his underwear, Mo Wuji scanned outwards with his spiritual will. When he saw the emotional Chi Huo''Er standing outside of Star Lord Mountain, a sense of warmth emerged in his heart. Chi Huo''Er was truly loyal to the Star Lord. Perhaps he would display the same loyalty to a different Star Lord, but it was truly rare to find a person like him. Just as Mo Wuji was about to leave Star Lord Mountain and ask Chi Huo''Er of the happenings over the past year, a weary figure rushed in. "Manager Chi, hurry, I need to see the Star Lord¡­" The person spoke with extreme urgency; he had not even reached the ground but he had already said those words in a single breath. Chi Huo''Er hurriedly supported the incoming person and asked, "Hall Master Fei, what exactly happened? Why are you so heavily injured?" "I need to see the Star Lord." The person who came was Fei Chao. He did not answer Chi Huo''Er''s words and he continued to speak anxiously. In a single step, Mo Wuji landed by the two''s side, "Hall Master Fei, I remembered that you''re at Nine Mo City. What happened? You don''t need to rush, slowly tell me what happened. I could even erase millions of foreign invaders, and even Zhu Qu was heavily injured by me, what''s there to worry about? Moreover, you''re a hall master. If you''re already so anxious, then how would the men of Wu Xiang Hall react?" Mo Wuji''s first thought was that Zhu Qu had returned, but his spiritual will had already swept through the entire Star King Mountain. He did not find any peculiarities. Perhaps it was because he saw Mo Wuji, or perhaps Mo Wuji''s words had taken their effect. Fei Chao bowed, caught his breath and said, "Broken Sect''s Zhu Qu, Gu Juo Star Tribe''s Hoover and the Space Wolf King''s eldest son, Cang Jue, have joined hands to massacre Nine Mo City. Besides me, there are no other survivors in Nine Mo City¡­" "What?" When Mo Wuji heard this, his killing intent seems to have formed a physical manifestation and exploded outwards. Just now, he advised Fei Chao to not be so anxious, but now, rage had filled every drop of blood in his body. Even though he killed millions of foreign invaders, he had never had the thought of going to Wolf King Mountain to massacre the space beasts, nor to Gu Nuo Star and slaughter all their cultivators. They were warring. Since it was war, then life and death was something that has to be fought for. But now, Mo Wuji suddenly had a crazed killing intent in his heart; he wanted to slaughter the entire Wolf King Mountain and Gu Nuo Star. Under Mo Wuji''s violent killing intent, even Chi Huo''Er could not help but take a few steps back. He was unable to defend Mo Wuji''s raw, concentrated killing intent. His heart was filled with shock, and at the same time, happiness. An expert had finally emerged in Star King Mountain; a true expert. After a while, Mo Wuji finally calmed down. If you¡¯re not of my race, then you must die. Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji retracted his rage and killing intent. He tried his best to speak slowly, "Hall Master Fei, can you explain everything in detail. I know of Hoover and Zhu Qu, but who¡¯s this Cang Jue?" He was not a pure cultivator; he had his hot-bloodedness and his emotions. He couldn¡¯t face an entire massacred city and still remain calm. Even though he wasn¡¯t from Zhen Xing, after staying in Zhen Xing for so long, he had some feelings for this planet. "Yes," Fei Chao responded. "Cang Jue is the Space Wolf King¡¯s eldest son, he¡¯s a Class 9 space beast. He¡¯s endlessly brutal, and he possesses a sort of terrifying fire. When him, Hoover and Zhu Qu arrived in Nine Mo City, Zhu Qu was in charge of sealing off the exits, Hoover was in charge of killing the experts in Nine Mo City, while he was in charge of destroying the city. He used that fire to raze the entire Nine Mo City to the ground. I had to depend on a Grade 9 talisman to escape with my life." How could Mo Wuji remain calm after hearing this? He resolutely made the decision to slaughter the entire Wolf King Mountain. Those in Wolf King Mountain were merely animals; those animals actually dared encroach into human territory, so why were they still alive? As for Gu Nuo Star, it could be a colony for Zhen Xing. Didn¡¯t you want to occupy Zhen Xing, how about I go over there and take a look at how strong your Gu Nuo Star is. Seeing Mo Wuji remain silent without a word, Fei Chao continued, "Hall Master Su and Hall Master Sang have gone to Universal Hall, Hall Master Yan is in Piercing Wind City, and I have come here to deliver the message. I believe, those three definitely wouldn¡¯t stop at Nine Mo City. Their next target, if it isn¡¯t Universal Hall, it would be Piercing Wind City, and it could even be Star King Mountain." Mo Wuji nodded, "I understand. Manager Chi, you and Hall Master Fei will remain here. Immediately father all the hall masters and elders, pass them my order: Defend Star King Mountain. I will take a look at Universal Hall¡­" "Yes! Star Lord." Just as Chi Huo¡¯Er and Fei Chao answered, Mo Wuji had already disappeared from Star Lord Mountain. "The Star Lord is much stronger than before." Fei Chao stared at where Mo Wuji just stood, his heart was reverberating in shock. One year ago, Mo Wuji was just in the True God Stage. Now, he did not even know what level the Star Lord was. He only knew that if he compared himself to Mo Wuji, it was similar to comparing a drop of water with a river. Chi Huo¡¯Er nodded, but he didn¡¯t reply Fei Chao¡¯s words. He faintly felt that the Star Lord didn¡¯t merely advance into the Worldly Immortal Stage, but had even reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2. This sort of outrageous thing, he definitely wouldn¡¯t reveal to anyone else. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji left Star King Mountain, he scanned outwards with his spiritual will. He was already in Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2, his spiritual will was extremely strong. A radius of 10,000 miles was within the scope of his spiritual will. Even if it was outside 10,000 miles, he could still feel it with his spiritual will. Soon, a man in coarse robes was locked in by Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. What shocked Mo Wuji was, this fella¡¯s cultivation was roughly at Worldly Immortal Level 8. Worldly Immortal Level 8, Star King Mountain didn¡¯t even have an expert at this level. The coarse robed man seemed to be heading in the direction of Star King Mountain, and he seemed like he would arrive in the blink of an eye. Mo Wuji took a step in midair, directly blocking this person. This was a middle-aged man who didn¡¯t gave a tall figure. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will swept across this fella, and he immediately felt that this fella¡¯s elemental energy ripples were different from ordinary cultivators. It was similar to his servant Chanse. And on the forehead of this middle-aged man, there was a faint outline of an ear; that eat seemed to exude a hard-to-detect spiritual ripple. "You are Hoover?" Mo Wuji immediately verified this person¡¯s identity; he was undoubtedly Hoover. The rushing Hoover was filed with shock. Now that Mo Wuji had asked a question, he subconsciously took a few steps back before stopping and staring at Mo Wuji. His heart was pounding rapidly. How did Mo Wuji appear in front of him? He didn¡¯t even manage to detect it. Chapter 384: Mo Wuji, Star Lord of The Star King Mountain Chapter 384: Mo Wuji, Star Lord of The Star King Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You are Mo Wuji, Star Lord of the Star King Mountain?" Hoover finally responded and realised that the person in front of him must be Mo Wuji because who else could be so young yet so powerful? After confirming that the other party was Mo Wuji, Hoover started to calm himself down instead because even though Mo Wuji was strong, he had his own cultivation limits too. Mo Wuji answered calmly, "That¡¯s right but why are you the only here? Where is that Cang Jue and Zhu Qu?" One Hoover alone wouldn¡¯t mean much in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes as he was more worried about Cang Jue and Zhu Qu. In fact, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t mind if he was with Cang Jue too because he believed that the strongest one should be Zhu Qu. Cang Jue was a Class 9 space beast and was equivalent to an Earthly Immortal Stage expert. However, it was not like Mo Wuji had never met an Earthly Immortal Stage expert before as Gansius from the Gu Nuo Star Tribe was one fine example. If he were to let Gansius fight with Zhu Qu, Mo Wuji was confident Zhu Qu would be able to finish Gansius off in a few minutes. Even though both of them were in the Earthly Immortal Stage, there was really a vast difference in strength between the two of them. Hoover had heard rumours about Mo Wuji¡¯s terrifying combat achievements and he also knew how Zhu Qu was severely injured by him and had not fully recovered. However, Hoover was not afraid because the use of space cannon was meant for long range attack so in a close combat battle against him, Mo Wuji would not be able to use his space cannon at all. As for the attempt to assassinate Zhu Qu, it was because he brought along seven Worldly Immortal Stage experts. In his opinions, even if a pig were to bring seven Worldly Immortal Stage experts along with him to attack Zhu Qu, they would have been successful too. Regarding the rumours about Mo Wuji killing Bao Lie, haha, only an idiot would believe such things. He had just advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8 so even if this Star Lord Mo had a supernatural technique, it wouldn¡¯t be enough to defeat him. Hoover would only think this way because he was in an alliance with Zhu Qu and also because he had never seen how powerful Zhu Qu was, he treated Zhu Qu as the same type of Earthly Immortal Stage expert like Gansius. "Brother Cang is in charge of Piercing Wind City while Brother Zhu is in charge of the Universal Hall. Star Lord Mo, you should have guessed my purpose of coming here right? Actually, there is no need for you to guess. I am in charge of the Star King Mountain. So what if you managed to use a space cannon to wipe out my Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army? I¡­" Before Hoover could even finish his sentence, Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole was already flying towards him. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, even if Hoover was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8, he had no rights to spar with him as he was the only worried about the Piercing Wind City and the Universal Hall now. Even though Sang Caihe was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7 and Su Xuan, who had just advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7, they were definitely not strong enough to deal with Zhu Qu. Hoover saw Mo Wuji making his move and laughed coldly as he raised his hand to take his magic treasure but in the next moment, he was dazed. It was as if at this moment, the space around him were sealed up and so did his movement. However, even in this momentary pause in space, he could feel an incoming death threat. "Puff!" After that momentary pause in space and before Hoover could even do anything, he saw with his own eyes how Mo Wuji¡¯s steel pole struck against his forehead. Fresh blood were spat out and even Hoover¡¯s primordial spirit were destroyed into shreds by Mo Wuji. I can¡¯t even execute one move? This was Hoover¡¯s final thoughts before his death. ¡­ "Boom!" Continuous explosions could be heard outside the Piercing Wind City and every time an explosion was heard, the cracking sound of the defensive array protecting the Piercing Wind City could be heard. The person attacking the Piercing Wind City¡¯s defensive array was a tall man with long hair. This man was extremely ugly and had a black face with a slanted black horn on top of his head. Yan Ze brought along another two Worldly Immortal Stage experts as they stood on top of the defensive array while he continuously order the array masters to not stop repairing the defensive array. Even so, the crack on the defensive array was getting increasingly large. As the crack on the defensive array grew bigger, the expression of Yan Ze and co. grew uglier. Everyone knew who this tall ugly man with long hair was and that he was the Space Wolf King¡¯s eldest son, Cang Jue who could also been known as Single-Horned Wolf King. According to Fei Chao, the Nine Mo City was massacred because of the fire produced by this wolf king. Also, this Single Horn Wolf King had a fondness to swallow young female cultivator¡¯s heart. What he needed was the hearts of those female cultivators who hadn¡¯t experience much of the world, had a high cultivation level and beautiful features. "Castellan Su, are there still any working transfer arrays in the Piercing Wind City?" As he watched the defensive array was about to be destroyed, Yan Ze asked as he clenched his fist so tightly that veins were starting to pop out in his hand. He was very clear what the outcome would be if the defensive array was destroyed. It would be another Nine Mo City. If the Piercing Wind CIty were to follow the footsteps of the Nine Mo City, half of the entire Zhen Mo Continent would have fallen. If they lost half of the Zhen Mo Continent, what would they have left on Zhen Xing? The person standing beside Yan Ze was the castellan of the Piercing Wind City, Castellan Su Yu, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4. After hearing Yan Ze¡¯s words, Su Yu shook her head, "No, before Cang Jue started his rampage on the defensive array, he had already destroyed the space transfer array around him. Cang Jue was not that smart so such things should have been done with the help of Zhu Qu." Yan Ze let out a long sigh as the main transfer array to the Piercing Wind City was from the Nine Mo City. Now that the Nine Mo City was destroyed, the transfer array should have been destroyed long ago. However, the Piercing Wind City still had some hidden transfer array for emergency. Now that even these transfer arrays were destroyed, the Star Lord wouldn¡¯t be able to get here in the shortest possible amount of time even if he found out about the incident. Seeing how the Piercing Wind City was bound to fall, this would signify the ultimate fall of Zhen Xing too. Yan Ze finally understood the actions of the former Star Lord Chi Tong because it wasn¡¯t because Star Lord Chi Tong didn¡¯t dare to offend the Space Wolf King but because he didn¡¯t dare to let the Space Wolf King enter Zhen Xing. Even though the one who came was not the Space Wolf King himself but his eldest son, the Single Horn Wolf King, they were already extremely helpless against him. It was clear that the moment the Space Wolf King arrived, Zhen Xing would have been wiped out easily. "Hall Master Yan, there are so many hot blooded men in my Piercing Wind City, how could we be fearful of a single brute? So what if Cang Jue is a Class 9 demonic beast, we are all more than willing to fight to our death to protect what we have here on Zhen Xing," A Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 shouted out." Yan Xe shook his head, "You have no idea how horrifying Cang Jue could be and if there was a chance to win if we fight till our death, does it look like I, Yan Ze, would be someone who is afraid? I am just fearful that there might not even be a tiny hope of victory against him." Yan Ze was not speaking blindly as he clearly knew the strength of Cang Jue. Yan Ze knew that he wouldn¡¯t even be able to have a word with him before dying if he were to go against a Class 9 space beast. As for the rest of them, given Cang Jue¡¯s vicious character, he would immediately burn them to death mercilessly. "Boom!" Yet another intense explosion was heard. "Kacha!" The final piece of defensive array was finally broken and a path was carved out into the Piercing Wind City as Cang Jue glanced at it. "Hahahaha¡­" Cang Jue let out a wild laughter which the entire Piercing Wind City could hear. An immense killing intent and hostility followed Cang Jue¡¯s aura into the Piercing Wind City and Yan Ze¡¯s heart turned cold. Even the face of the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert who said he was willing to fight to his death with Cang Jue turned pale. He finally realised that not everyone had the qualifications to even fight to their death with Cang Jue and after feeling Cang Jue¡¯s imposing aura, he knew that he was definitely not qualified to fight Cang Jue. "You are only a brute and you dare to be arrogant here in the Piercing Wind CIty?" Before Cang Jue could step into the broken defensive array of the Piercing Wind City, a disdainful voice could be heard. "Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord, Mo Wuji," Following that voice, a person step down from space and landed in front of Cang Jue, blocking the gap of the broken defensive array of the Piercing Wind City. "Star Lord is here!" Yan Ze, who was originally pale, suddenly punched his fist that he had held so tightly in the air as he simply couldn¡¯t contain his excitement for any longer. "Boom!" The initially gloomy and dejected Piercing Wind City looked like it was revived and countless of cheers could be heard celebrating the arrival of the Star Lord. One would only realise the value of life when facing death. After learning about the massacre of the Nine Mo City, everyone knew that the moment Cang Jue entered the Piercing Wind City, it would definitely not end up any better than Nine Mo City. Now that the Star Lord had arrived, to the cultivators of the Piercing Wind City, it was like catching a log when stranded out at sea. Even though many of them had not personally seen the Star Lord, they had this indescribable trust in him because of the things they heard he had done. Single-handedly snatching the Universal Hall back, killing Bao Lie, killing the Earthly Immortal Stage expert of Gu Nuo Star Tribe, demolishing the Broken Sect and even injuring the Broken Sect¡¯s Sect Head¡­ It no longer mattered whether or not Mo Wuji had help from others to injure Zhu Qu. These incidents reassured them that as long as the Star Lord was here, the Piercing Wind City would definitely be fine. "Castellan Su, come with me to fight alongside the Star Lord," Yan Ze regained his composure very quickly and realised that even though he was only in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 6, Su Yu and himself were already the strongest ones here. He was clearer than anyone else that even Mo Wuji was not invincible. Whether it was snatching back the Universal Hall or killing Bao Lie, Mo Wuji made use of his huge cannon and sneak attack respectively instead of a head to head battle. In fact, that Cang Jue in front of him was not someone Bao Lie could offend too. No matter how strong Bao Lie was, he was only a Class 8 demonic beast while Cang Jue was actually a Class 9 beast. In the Wolf King Mountain, he was only second to the Space Wolf King. "Mo Wuji? Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord? How are you still alive?" Cang Jue didn¡¯t attack immediately as he asked inquisitively. Hoover was an Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8 expert and in front of the Star King Mountain¡¯s three strongest men, his aura could still oppress the entire Star King Mountain. He simply didn¡¯t regard this ant, Mo Wuji, as a worthy opponent. "You want to ask him?" Mo Wuji raised his hand and took out Hoover¡¯s corpse as he threw it in front of Cang Jue. "You killed him?" The anger in Cang Jue¡¯s eyes grew massively as he would never have imagined Hoover to be killed and had his corpse lying right in front of him. "Mighty Star Lord! All hail the Star King Mountain!" Just as Mo Wuji threw out Hoover¡¯s corpse, the Piercing Wind City was filled with cheers and the initial depression because of the broken defensive array was turned drastically into extreme delight among the cultivators. "Die!" A circular magic treasure was drawn out by Cang Jue and before the magic treasure could lock onto Mo Wuji, crackling explosions could be heard in the space surrounding them as the temperature in space was suddenly on the rise. Chapter 385: 384 + 385 Chapter 385: 384 + 385 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations 384: Mo Wuji, Star Lord of the Star King Mountain "You are Mo Wuji, Star Lord of the Star King Mountain?"

"Castellan Su, are there still any working transfer arrays in the Piercing Wind City?" As he watched the defensive array was about to be destroyed, Yan Ze asked as he clenched his fist so tightly that veins were starting to pop out in his hand. He was very clear what the outcome would be if the defensive array was destroyed. It would be another Nine Mo City. If the Piercing Wind CIty were to follow the footsteps of the Nine Mo City, half of the entire Zhen Mo Continent would have fallen. If they lost half of the Zhen Mo Continent, what would they have left on Zhen Xing? The person standing beside Yan Ze was the castellan of the Piercing Wind City, Castellan Su Yu, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4. After hearing Yan Ze¡¯s words, Su Yu shook her head, "No, before Cang Jue started his rampage on the defensive array, he had already destroyed the space transfer array around him. Cang Jue was not that smart so such things should have been done with the help of Zhu Qu." Yan Ze let out a long sigh as the main transfer array to the Piercing Wind City was from the Nine Mo City. Now that the Nine Mo City was destroyed, the transfer array should have been destroyed long ago. However, the Piercing Wind City still had some hidden transfer array for emergency. Now that even these transfer arrays were destroyed, the Star Lord wouldn¡¯t be able to get here in the shortest possible amount of time even if he found out about the incident. Seeing how the Piercing Wind City was bound to fall, this would signify the ultimate fall of Zhen Xing too. Yan Ze finally understood the actions of the former Star Lord Chi Tong because it wasn¡¯t because Star Lord Chi Tong didn¡¯t dare to offend the Space Wolf King but because he didn¡¯t dare to let the Space Wolf King enter Zhen Xing. Even though the one who came was not the Space Wolf King himself but his eldest son, the Single Horn Wolf King, they were already extremely helpless against him. It was clear that the moment the Space Wolf King arrived, Zhen Xing would have been wiped out easily. "Hall Master Yan, there are so many hot blooded men in my Piercing Wind City, how could we be fearful of a single brute? So what if Cang Jue is a Class 9 demonic beast, we are all more than willing to fight to our death to protect what we have here on Zhen Xing," A Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 shouted out." Yan Xe shook his head, "You have no idea how horrifying Cang Jue could be and if there was a chance to win if we fight till our death, does it look like I, Yan Ze, would be someone who is afraid? I am just fearful that there might not even be a tiny hope of victory against him." Yan Ze was not speaking blindly as he clearly knew the strength of Cang Jue. Yan Ze knew that he wouldn¡¯t even be able to have a word with him before dying if he were to go against a Class 9 space beast. As for the rest of them, given Cang Jue¡¯s vicious character, he would immediately burn them to death mercilessly. "Boom!" Yet another intense explosion was heard. "Kacha!" The final piece of defensive array was finally broken and a path was carved out into the Piercing Wind City as Cang Jue glanced at it. "Hahahaha¡­" Cang Jue let out a wild laughter which the entire Piercing Wind City could hear. An immense killing intent and hostility followed Cang Jue¡¯s aura into the Piercing Wind City and Yan Ze¡¯s heart turned cold. Even the face of the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert who said he was willing to fight to his death with Cang Jue turned pale. He finally realised that not everyone had the qualifications to even fight to their death with Cang Jue and after feeling Cang Jue¡¯s imposing aura, he knew that he was definitely not qualified to fight Cang Jue. "You are only a brute and you dare to be arrogant here in the Piercing Wind CIty?" Before Cang Jue could step into the broken defensive array of the Piercing Wind City, a disdainful voice could be heard. "Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord, Mo Wuji," Following that voice, a person step down from space and landed in front of Cang Jue, blocking the gap of the broken defensive array of the Piercing Wind City. "Star Lord is here!" Yan Ze, who was originally pale, suddenly punched his fist that he had held so tightly in the air as he simply couldn¡¯t contain his excitement for any longer. "Boom!" The initially gloomy and dejected Piercing Wind City looked like it was revived and countless of cheers could be heard celebrating the arrival of the Star Lord. One would only realise the value of life when facing death. After learning about the massacre of the Nine Mo City, everyone knew that the moment Cang Jue entered the Piercing Wind City, it would definitely not end up any better than Nine Mo City. Now that the Star Lord had arrived, to the cultivators of the Piercing Wind City, it was like catching a log when stranded out at sea. Even though many of them had not personally seen the Star Lord, they had this indescribable trust in him because of the things they heard he had done. Single-handedly snatching the Universal Hall back, killing Bao Lie, killing the Earthly Immortal Stage expert of Gu Nuo Star Tribe, demolishing the Broken Sect and even injuring the Broken Sect¡¯s Sect Head¡­ It no longer mattered whether or not Mo Wuji had help from others to injure Zhu Qu. These incidents reassured them that as long as the Star Lord was here, the Piercing Wind City would definitely be fine. "Castellan Su, come with me to fight alongside the Star Lord," Yan Ze regained his composure very quickly and realised that even though he was only in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 6, Su Yu and himself were already the strongest ones here. He was clearer than anyone else that even Mo Wuji was not invincible. Whether it was snatching back the Universal Hall or killing Bao Lie, Mo Wuji made use of his huge cannon and sneak attack respectively instead of a head to head battle. In fact, that Cang Jue in front of him was not someone Bao Lie could offend too. No matter how strong Bao Lie was, he was only a Class 8 demonic beast while Cang Jue was actually a Class 9 beast. In the Wolf King Mountain, he was only second to the Space Wolf King. "Mo Wuji? Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord? How are you still alive?" Cang Jue didn¡¯t attack immediately as he asked inquisitively. Hoover was an Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8 expert and in front of the Star King Mountain¡¯s three strongest men, his aura could still oppress the entire Star King Mountain. He simply didn¡¯t regard this ant, Mo Wuji, as a worthy opponent. "You want to ask him?" Mo Wuji raised his hand and took out Hoover¡¯s corpse as he threw it in front of Cang Jue. "You killed him?" The anger in Cang Jue¡¯s eyes grew massively as he would never have imagined Hoover to be killed and had his corpse lying right in front of him. "Mighty Star Lord! All hail the Star King Mountain!" Just as Mo Wuji threw out Hoover¡¯s corpse, the Piercing Wind City was filled with cheers and the initial depression because of the broken defensive array was turned drastically into extreme delight among the cultivators. "Die!" A circular magic treasure was drawn out by Cang Jue and before the magic treasure could lock onto Mo Wuji, crackling explosions could be heard in the space surrounding them as the temperature in space was suddenly on the rise. 385: Battle of Flames Mo Wuji could see clearly that this was actually a flaming futon. As each second passed, the temperature within the futon increased to yet another level. Other than this, the flaming futon was also continuously increasing in size. Yan Ze and Su Yu. who were standing further away, could feel the terrifying temperature as they subconsciously took a step back. Initially, the two of them wanted to support Mo Wuji in his fight but they realised it would be impossible to even go any closer to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji immediately released a lightning web which instantly restrained the futon. In only a few breaths¡¯ time and a crackling sound, Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning web was dissipated by the temperature of the flaming futon. Mo Wuji guessed that Cang Jue must have used this futon to massacre the entire Nine Mo City because there was a flame within the futon which he couldn¡¯t visibly see but was extremely powerful. He mustn''t let this futon continue expanding outwards because who knew how terrifying the end state of this expanding futon could be? If he were to wait till this flame reached the Piercing Wind City, even if he was still alive, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to save the city. His Tian Ji Pole was swung out as it turned into pole shadows charging towards the futon. "Boom!" Tian Ji Pole struck against the futon with about 3 metres radius and instead of breaking this futon, it ignited a formless flame that covered the entire sky. The insane heat scorched across space and even burnt Mo Wuji¡¯s hair. It seemed like because of the power of Mo Wuji¡¯s pole, the flaming futon stopped expanding as it started to bend downwards instead. This space within the futon was about to engulf Mo Wuji into its centre as the temperature was even more terrifying than before. "You are merely a Worldly Immortal Stage expert and you dare act against me?" Cang Jue chuckled before slapping the futon a few times. A few flaming radiances were then shot out from the futon towards Mo Wuji. The temperature within the futon space was frightening and even though he had experienced the testing heat of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, he could still feel the heating up of his body and even his elementary energy shield was unable to fend against it. The moment his elemental energy shield was burnt away by this heat, his clothing and skin would be next. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air because it wasn¡¯t because he was careless that he was trapped by the flaming futon but because he was curious how powerful it was. Mo Wuji tried to teleport and he noticed that in this flaming space, there seemed to be a unique law which constraint him as every time he teleport, he only moved a tiny step. Mo Wuji barely managed to dodge the incoming flaming radiance while Cang Jue was still ferociously hitting on the flaming futon. As more flaming radiance were being shot over, the temperature within the flaming futon was still rising and Mo Wuji¡¯s movement were getting increasingly constraint. Finally one flaming radiance shot across Mo Wuji¡¯s waist and as he felt the heat, the blood that was splattered out from his body was burnt into nothingness in an instant. Mo Wuji sighed yet again because he had never seen such a powerful magic treasure before. This magic treasure only involved him getting attacked and he won¡¯t even have a chance to talk face to face with Cang Jue, let alone fight back. "Kacha!" The flaming futon finally enveloped the entire flaming space as Mo Wuji was directly trapped in the centre of the flaming space. However, Mo Wuji managed to keep his cool as he knew that it was because he lacked combat experience which resulted in him getting trapped in such a scenario. He was confident that this Cang Jue was nothing compared to Zhu Qu and that Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was at least 10 times stronger than when he faced Zhu Qu previously. However, he didn¡¯t even have the chance to exchange blows with Cang Jue and was immediately trapped in this flaming futon. If he was slightly more experienced in such situations, he would have immediately attacked Cang Jue instead of the flaming futon. Mo Wuji raised his hand and shot out countless of lightning swords and these lightning swords could only make the futon tremble a little but was still unable to break through it. After a few attempts and getting shot at by the flaming radiance two more times, Mo Wuji gave up on the idea in trying to break the space within the flaming futon. The Scholar¡¯s Heart instantaneously formed a new shield on the elementary energy shield that was protecting him previously and since it was against flames, he decided to use his own flame to defend himself before thinking of a new idea. Cang Jue didn¡¯t even bother about Mo Wuji retrieving his Scholar¡¯s Heart shield as he continuously smacked against the flaming futon to release even more flaming radiances towards Mo Wuji. Cang Jue had been battling since a long time ago so he naturally had more experience than Mo Wuji. Even if he didn¡¯t bother about what Mo Wuji was doing, he didn¡¯t underestimate his opponent too because since Mo Wuji could kill Bao Lie, Hoover and eventually becoming the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain, he must be pretty capable. Presently, as long as he was able to get rid of Mo Wuji, he would no longer have any obstructions in obliterating the city. He also believed that even without using his flaming futon, he would be able to kill Mo Wuji easily. But however, since he had a reliable way to finish Mo Wuji off, why should he bother fighting head to head with Mo Wuji? "Bang bang bang bang¡­" Endless amount of flaming radiance shot against Mo Wuji¡¯s Scholar¡¯s Heart¡¯s shield as the countless amount of flaming radiance formed a massive flaming ray splattering in the middle of the space within the flaming futon. The splattering flaming ray was like a drop of water meeting a sponge as it was completely absorbed by the Scholar¡¯s Heart shield before disappearing without a trace. In the next moment that Mo Wuji realised this, he was elated because he didn¡¯t even use much elemental energy and these flaming radiances were being swallowed by the Scholar¡¯s Heart shield. Initially, Mo Wuji took out his Scholar¡¯s Heart with the intention to protect himself from the flaming radiance and buy some time as he think of another way to deal with the situation he was currently stuck in. Now that he realised that his Scholar¡¯s Heart would be able to go against the flame within the flaming futon, why would Mo Wuji stand on any ceremony? He immediately drove his Scholar¡¯s Heart to penetrate out of the futon as he started to refine the flaming space that was extended from the flaming futon. After tens of breath, Mo Wuji knew that his guess was right. As the Scholar¡¯s Heart continued to absorb the burning hot flaming radiance and the rising temperature from the flaming futon, it¡¯s strength continue to soar and become even greater than before. Besides this, following the Scholar¡¯s Heart¡¯s absorption of the heat, the flaming space produced by the flaming futon was shrinking and getting weaker. Since Mo Wuji was able to notice that, Cang Jue would naturally be able too. His flaming futon was his greatest trump card and the reason why he used it the moment he saw Mo Wuji was because Mo Wuji had killed Bao Lie, the white-eyed wolf and many other space beasts of the Space King Mountain which resulted in a lot of hatred in his heart for Mo Wuji. Cang Jue might look like an ugly joke but he was actually quite a logical fella. The greater the hatred for Mo Wuji, the more he had to be cautious. The cautiousness that he displayed was evident in the execution of his greatest technique to restrain Mo Wuji from the on start before slowly venting his anger and hatred on him. However, before he could even restrain Mo Wuji, his triumph card was actually controlled by Mo Wuji. How was it possible? Cang Jue wanted to retrieve his flaming futon immediately but he realised that his own flaming futon was being controlled by another type of flame as the essences of his flame was continuously being absorbed by Mo Wuji¡¯s flame. Every second passed and Mo Wuji¡¯s flame was getting stronger while his own flame was getting weaker. At this moment, Cang Jue couldn¡¯t be bothered about being cautious anymore as he took a step into the flaming space within the flaming futon. He raised his hand and his Six Clouds Knot was already charging towards Mo Wuji. As the white Six Clouds Knot was surrounding Mo Wuji, he felt like he was in an intense battlezone and that his fighting will was about to be restrained by the aura of this battlezone. The Nirvana Pole Shadows started to leave the Tian Ji Pole as its elemental energy exploded within the flaming space. As the elemental energies clashed with each other, it was like a heavy steel hammer being struck against Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. Mo Wuji could clearly feel the pain of his opponent¡¯s elemental energy tearing his skin. As compared to Mo Wuji, Cang Jue was angrier and more shocked. The fact that Mo Wuji¡¯s flame was able to restrain his flaming futon already made him extremely shocked and now Mo Wuji was actually capable of contending against his elemental energy despite only being at the Worldly Immortal Stage? One must know he was a Class 9 beast and even if he was only in the elementary stage of Class 9, it was still extremely rare among all the space beasts. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t fearful because in one exchange of blows, Mo Wuji knew clearly that Cang Jue was really like an ant compared to Zhu Qu. Without waiting for Cang Jue to act, Mo Wuji stepped out of the space and shot out several lightning swords at Cang Jue and then a space imprisonment. After introducing the Scholar¡¯s Heart to this battle, the space within the flaming futon was no longer controlled by Cang Jue. Ever since he met Cang Jue, Cang Jue was the one who had the initiative to attack and Mo Wuji was all along the passive one but it was finally his turn to take the initiative. Cang Jue grunted as his Six Clouds Knot released a bunch of white radiance to go against the blueish lightning radiance from the lightning swords. At this instant, Cang Jue felt something was amiss and even though Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword was indeed strong, it wouldn¡¯t do any harm to him. Logically speaking, now that Mo Wuji finally had the opportunity to attack, he wouldn¡¯t waste it just like that right? Something must be wrong and at the thought of this, more elemental energy surged into his Six Clouds Knot and it was just about to transform. Simultaneously, Cang Jue noticed there was a fluctuation in the space surrounding him. The space no longer seemed to be the same space just moments earlier as he couldn¡¯t even sense Mo Wuji¡¯s position now. Not good, a deathly aura penetrated into his will at the thought of this. Presently, why would Cang Jue even bother continue attacking Mo Wuji? His entire body was getting distorted crazily and all he wanted in this instant was to leave his position. "Puff!" A steel pole struck against Cang Jue¡¯s neck and the pain of broken bones was spreaded across his body as Cang Jue didn¡¯t even bother about the flaming futon anymore. He simply turned and wanted to run away. The combination of the space imprisonment and the Nirvana Pole Shadow had already turned into Mo Wuji¡¯s sure kill technique but he didn¡¯t expect Cang Jue to still be able to dodge the fatal strike. In a second, Cang Jue had already escaped over 3 metres away from Mo Wuji. If he was fighting anyone else, Cang Jue could have escaped just like that but against Mo Wuji, a distance of 3 metres was really not considered significant as he managed to appear behind him in an instant. "Boom!" Before Cang Jue could escape yet again, Mo Wuji punched Cang Jue from his back. "Bang!" Cang Jue was only focused on leaving so how would he have known Mo Wuji would suddenly appear behind him. The next thing he knew was that his huge body was like a rubber ball being thrown and sent flying by Mo Wuji. Yan Ze and Su Yu, who had already retreated to the periphery of the Piercing Wind City, knew they simply couldn¡¯t afford to get involved in the fight. Under the intense flames, they wouldn¡¯t even know who had the upper hand in the fight. At this moment, they saw Cang Jue flying up and a hole with the size of a fist appeared at the back of Cang Jue¡¯s chest. Chapter 386: Flattening Wolf King Mountain Chapter 386: Flattening Wolf King Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After the massive battle between Mo Wuji and Cang Jue, the Piercing Wind City remained extremely quiet as everyone saw clearly how Mo Wuji was enveloped by Cang Jue¡¯s flaming futon. Even though nobody said anything, every cultivator in the Piercing Wind City were worried because they knew that the moment the Star Lord was killed, they would be following him to his grave shortly after. If not for Yan Ze and Su Yu who were standing outside the defensive array, some might have even tried to escape the Piercing Wind City. Who would have imagined that shortly after the clouds were blown away by the wind, the Star Lord emerged out of the space within the flaming futon. When everyone noticed Mo Wuji, Cang Jue was already sent flying by Mo Wuji. After a while, the entire Piercing Wind City burst into wild cheers of joy. Cang Jue was in a hurry to leave but when he was punched in the back of his heart by Mo Wuji, he knew that it was the end for him. He was certain that Mo Wuji had learnt the art of spatial teleportation and Cang Jue couldn¡¯t help but laughed at himself to think he could actually escape with such heavy injuries. If he was up against any other expert, Cang Jue might still be able to escape but now he was facing Mo Wuji, who was definitely not any weaker than himself. Moreover, he was carrying several injuries and with the flaming futon being restraint by Mo Wuji, why did he think he could survive today? After realising that he would not live past today, Cang Jue was on his knees and didn¡¯t make any attempt to escape but stared at Mo Wuji intensely instead, "The one with the surname, Mo, you can kill me today but my father will chop you into a thousand pieces tomorrow before burning the entire Zhen Xing into ashes." Even though he knew he had to die, Cang Jue was still harping onto that one hope by announcing his father¡¯s reputable name. Mo Wuji said faintly, "I will not kill you now¡­" Cang Jue was elated and hurried to say, "If you let me go, I promise that there will no longer be any grudges between you and my Wolf King Mountain. My father, Space Wolf King, will definitely not find you again¡­" Mo Wuji shook his head, "You are wrong, my grudges with the Wolf King Mountain will not end today. After I¡¯ve settled the things that needed to be settled here, I will raze your Wolf King Mountain to the ground. Since you slaughtered the people of my Nine Mo City, I will flatten your Wolf King Mountain without any doubts. As for your father, I, Mo Wuji, was never fearful of him." Cang Jue was dumbfounded for a moment before realising that Mo Wuji was not like Chi Tong who was always giving in to them. Mo Wuji was only in the Worldly Immortal Stage and could easily defeat himself so when he reached the Earthly Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji would definitely not fear his father¡­ "Puff!" While Cang Jue was still in a daze, Mo Wuji shot out yet another lightning sword. The lightning sword pierced through Cang Jue¡¯s chest and after taking a few steps backwards, Cang Jue sat on the ground. Without waiting for Cang Jue to moan in pain, Mo Wuji raised his hand and the Scholar¡¯s Heart turned into a blue flame, surrounding Cang Jue. As he started to feel the temperature of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, there were traces of fear in Cang Jue¡¯s eyes. He predicted that Mo Wuji was about to do what he wanted to do on Mo Wuji, which was to slowly burn him to death using his flame. "Since you like to play with fire, you can slowly enjoy burning to death," After finishing what he had to say, Mo Wuji picked up the flaming futon which was left on the floor. This futon was extremely powerful and he was so close to being defeated by it. He wondered about the flame in this futon which was would eventually be able to up the strength of his Scholar¡¯s Heart by one more level. In fact, the flame in this futon was only slightly exhausted so when he had more time in the future, he would definitely take his time to analyse this. "The Space Wolf King would never let you go," Cang Jue shouted devastatingly in pain just before his entire body turned into a blood mist. "Star Lord, are you going to the Universal Hall now?" The anxious Yan Ze was the first to rush over. Mo Wuji nodded his head as his eyes fell on the space far away. There was a transfer array here that would bring him to the Universal Hall directly and it should have been built by Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s Earthly Immortal Stage expert, Gansius. After he left the Piercing Wind City, he must have forgotten about the transfer array. Now that Mo Wuji noticed that the transfer array was still there, he also noticed that there was another hidden monitor array installed beside it. To be able to install a hidden monitor array, Zhu Qu should be the only capable one to do so. Mo Wuji threw out a few array flags and even though these flags didn¡¯t destroy that hidden monitor array, it would at least stop it from monitoring the movements or incidents outside of the Piercing Wind City. "I will make a trip to the Universal Hall now while you immediately repair this transfer array¡­" After covering the monitor array, Mo Wuji grabbed Hoover¡¯s corpse and stepped into the transfer array in space. Previously, he ambushed Gansius on other side of this transfer array so now that it was his turn to go over, he had to be cautious of Zhu Qu¡¯s possible ambush. Once the transfer array was ignited by Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji sent Hoover¡¯s corpse over first. "Puff!" A blood mist was seen and Mo Wuji followed into the Universal Hall. Hoover¡¯s skull had already been flattened by Mo Wuji, but now, it was directly crushed into pieces. However, other than a few dead bodies in the Universal Hall, there was no one at all. The space surrounding the transfer array still had some spiritual ripples and these spiritual ripples were very familiar and Mo Wuji was certain that it was Zhu Qu¡¯s. In other words, it meant that his prediction wasn¡¯t wrong and Zhu Qu was really waiting for him on the other side of the transfer array. Fortunately, he had used this method on Gansius before so it didn¡¯t work for Zhu Qu. Logically speaking, even if Zhu Qu¡¯s ambush wasn¡¯t successful, he wouldn¡¯t just run away right? Mo Wuji was fully aware of Zhu Qu¡¯s strength and he knew that it would be difficult to kill Zhu Qu even though he had advanced into the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan and even his spiritual eye was condensed to be used. After a split moment, he concluded that Zhu Qu really fled the scene after he failed to ambush Mo Wuji. There were only two places one could go when he left the Universal Hall and the two places were the Star Wars Battlefield or the Piercing Wind City. "Star Lord¡­" Sang Caihe shouted as she rushed out of the Universal Hall at the sight of Mo Wuji. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to ask about Zhu Qu, she hurried to say, "Earlier on, the Broken Sect¡¯s Zhu Qu charged into the Universal Pier, killed tens of people before entering the Star Wars Battlefield. Hall Master Su had already brought people to protect the Universal Pier and I was about to head towards the Piercing Wind City¡­" "Hall Master Sang, are you saying that Zhu Qu had entered the Star Wars Battlefield?" Mo Wuji asked inquisitively. If Zhu Qu was not in the Universal Hall¡¯s plaza, he had to be in the Universal Hall. To Zhu Qu, perhaps Mo Wuji was his only worthy opponent so by entering the Universal Hall first, Zhu Qu was equivalent to having the ground advantage. Now that Sang Caihe said that Zhu Qu had escaped into the Star Wars Battlefield? What was going on? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that Zhu Qu would be afraid of him as he was aware that even if his cultivation level were to increase tremendously, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be a match for Zhu Qu. "When Zhu Qu acted, I exchanged a single blow with him and I realised that his strength decreased a lot because of his injuries. He must have left early after realising that Star Lord was coming over," Sang Caihe understood why Zhu Qu didn¡¯t stay any longer in the Universal Hall and Mo Wuji nodded because he believed Sang Caihe¡¯s words. Sang Caihe had once fought together with him against Zhu Qu so she had a deep impression of Zhu Qu¡¯s strength back then as compared to now. Moreover, the fact that she managed to come back unharmed even after exchanging a blow with Zhu Qu proved that Zhu Qu had not fully recovered from his injuries. It seemed as though Cang Jue and Hoover were being made used of by Zhu Qu. He used Cang Jue to destroy the Piercing Wind City and Hoover to exterminate the Star King Mountain while he had yet to act in the Universal Hall. All he did was to use the hidden monitor array to observe Cang Jue¡¯s situation in the Piercing Wind City. Eventually when Zhu Qu witnessed that Mo Wuji killed Cang Jue, he knew that he was not a match for Mo Wuji with the injuries that he had on him so decided to simply ambush him. After realised that his ambush was a failure too, he immediately left the Universal Hall for the vast Star Wars Battlefield. Mo Wuji was regretful because even though he didn¡¯t do much damage to the Universal Hall, that fella was simply too strong and after entering the Star Wars Battlefield, he was bound to be an even stronger scourge in the near future. "Star Lord¡­" Su Xuan and co. had heard the news and walked over. "Young Master," Chanse, who was tasked to stay and take care of the Universal Hall, was the first to bow to pay his respects for Mo Wuji. "Where is Red Knot and co.?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t see the Solitary Red Knot around so he asked curiously. Chanse hurried to answer, "The Solitary Red Knot had already had his revenge so he felt that the Universal Hall was too dry and boring. He had left for the Star Wars Battlefield long ago. Mo Wuji knew how the Solitary Red Knot was like as a person. The reason why he forced himself to stay at the Universal Hall was because he wanted to avenge his brother. Now that he had completed his revenge, he naturally wouldn¡¯t want to stay here for any longer. At the thought of the fact that he didn¡¯t see the few friends he made in the Zhen Mo Continent namely, Pang Qi, Chu Qianlou, Rong He and the Solitary Red Knot as well as the familiar friends from the Lost Continent like Yan¡¯Er and Ren Tianxing around, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but sighed. "Star Lord, even though Zhu Qu escaped, that Cang Jue and Hoover were still¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t let Su Xuan complete her sentence as he raised his hand to interrupt Su Xuan, "Hoover and Cang Jue have been killed by myself so do not worry. Now I need you all to work a little harder to rebuild the Nine Mo City as well as to guard the Universal Pier seriously. I will make a trip into the Star Wars Battlefield and we must not let such an incident happen ever again¡­" Mo Wuji was planning to pay a visit to the Wolf King Mountain because since Cang Jue massacre his Nine Mo City, it wouldn¡¯t be fair if he didn¡¯t flatten his Wolf King Mountain. Cang Jue was killed? Su Xuan and co. stared at Mo Wuji with their mouth wide opened because Cang Jue was a Class 9 demonic beast, the second strongest expert in the Wolf King Mountain. The Star Lord actually managed to kill an expert who just slaughtered the entire Nine Mo City? The transfer array on the Universal Hall¡¯s plaza lit up yet again and Chi Huo¡¯Er appeared from the transfer array. Seeing that Chi Huo¡¯Er had appeared from the transfer array, Mo Wuji knew that Yan Ze was extremely efficient to have managed to repair the transfer array from the Star King Mountain to the Piecing Wind City in such a short period of time. "Old servant greets Star Lord," Chi Huo¡¯Er was feeling ecstatic because he heard from Yan Ze that Mo Wuji had already killed Cang Jue in the Piercing Wind City. The fact was that until now, the entire Piercing Wind City was still buzzing with excitement because everyone was still discussing about the battle between their Star Lord and Cang Jue. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "I have to make a trip to the Star Wars Battlefield and it is just nice that you came. Bring Chanse back to the Star King Mountain." "Yes, Star Lord, there is one more matter regarding Tian Chi Manor¡¯s Lord Yan Huimeng. A few days ago while you were still behind closed door cultivation, she came back to ask if you know anyone called Mo Tiancheng," Chi Huo¡¯Er replied. Chapter 387: Tian Chi Manor Chapter 387: Tian Chi Manor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Tiancheng? Hearing this name immediately reminded Mo Wuji of the Northern Qin Prefecture? Why did he come from Earth to Zhen Xing? It was actually because of Mo Tiancheng. Mo Tiancheng, Northern Qin Prefecture Lord. He disappeared after he went from Northern Qin Prefecture to Rao Zhou, causing Mo Guangyuan to travel to Rao Zhou. Thereafter, Mo Guangyuan and his family were not able to leave Rao Zhou alive, resulting in him Mo Wuji, a Rebirther. Since he had never seen Mo Tiancheng, and he was also a Rebirther, Mo Wuji did not have any affection towards Mo Tiancheng. Even after he helped the Mo Clan reclaim their Northern Qin, he did not spend too much time investigating on Mo Tiancheng''s disappearance. To Mo Wuji, his relationship with Mo Tiancheng was far from his with Yan''Er. He could never have imagined that he would hear news of Mo Tiancheng here. This was his grandfather in name. It sounds very absurd, but he did indeed have blood ties with Mo Tiancheng. "What else did the Tian Chi Manor Lord say?" If he didn''t know of Mo Tiancheng''s news, then he would have just continued to ignore it. But now that he heard of it, he naturally couldn''t stay oblivious. "She said, after you''ve emerged, she may visit if she''s free. I''m guessing that she said those words as a statement, she''s implying for you to personally make a trip down to Tian Chi Manor," Chi Huo¡¯Er replied. Mo Wuji nodded and did not continue to think about it. That Yan Huimeng, after all, was still a Manor Lord, and Tian Chi Manor could be considered to be quite prestigious. In her previous visits, he couldn''t be bothered to meet with her. it was perfectly normal that she decided to show a little temper. If it was anything else, Mo Wuji would have just let things be. But now that it involved his grandfather Mo Tiancheng, he had to make a trip even if he didn''t want to. "Hall Master Su, when I''m not around, you¡¯ll temporarily take the role of the Star Lord." Mo Wuji had already prepared to directly head off to space after visiting Tian Chi Manor. The resources in Star King Mountain was no longer able to help him advance in his cultivation. After he entered space, he wouldn''t know when he would return. "Yes, Star Lord." Su Xuan could be considered to understand Mo Wuji to a certain degree. This Star Lord was good in everything, just that he didn''t want to be tied down by random things. ¡­ The provenance of Tian Chi Manor¡¯s name was its unique location. Tian Chi Manor was built on a mountain. Outside this mountain, it wasn''t a mountain range, but an incomparably large lake. Not only was this lake huge, it was also rich in spiritual energy. It would be covered in mist year long, giving the mountain a hazy but enigmatic look. Because this place was relatively high and rich in spiritual energy, this lake has been named Tian Chi [1]. The mountain manor established at the center of this lake was thus called Tian Chi Manor. A series of bridges led from outside Tian Chi across Tian Chi; another Tian Chi Manor was erected at the top of the the mountain. At this instant, Manor Lord Yan Huimeng and a few Tian Chi Manor experts were gathered in the Manor Lord Hall. This was because they had just received the news that Nine Mo City had actually been razed to the ground. It was said that this atrocity was done by the Broken Sect Head Zhu Qu, Space Wolf King''s eldest son Cang Jue and another peak Worldly Immortal expert from Gu Nuo. "Manor Lord, Broken Sect Zhu Qu, Cang Jue and that Gu Nuo expert have already formed a coalition to destroy Nine Mo City. Clearly, they would not just stop at this. So, we need to make plans early. The one speaking was Tian Chi Manor''s Grand Elder Chen Yuping, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. The reason for Tian Chi Manor''s strength was not its personal combat power. But because of their connections who would respond to their call. Thus, a cultivation of Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 was already the peak existence at Tian Chi Manor. Out of all of them, there were only two who reached this cultivation. One was Elder Chen Yuping, the other was Yan Huimeng. Chen Yuping didn''t say anything special but everyone hear understood what she implied. The foreign Earthly Immortal experts have arrived at Zhen Mo Continent, and the moment they arrived, they destroyed Nine Mo City. Clearly, they plan on destroying all of Zhen Xing. If Tian Chi Manor continues to stay in Zhen Xing, they might meet with the same disaster. "What are everyone''s intentions?" Yan Huimeng''s gaze swept across the other elders and deacons. Tian Chi Manor was different from other sects. The moment that left Zhen Mo Continent, they will lose their foundations and roots. All the human relations that they assiduously created behind the scenes would be destroyed. Thus, even though Yan Huimeng understood that Chen Yuping implied that they should leave Zhen Xing, she didn''t feel that it was a good idea. Another elder stood forward, "If Cang Jue really came to Zhen Xing, then we don''t have any other option. I''m only worried that we might not even be able to leave." The crowd turned silent again; no one thought that this was a ridiculous thought. Since the foreign Earthly Immortals had prepared to act against Zhen Xing, then wouldn''t they try to control Universal Hall and Piercing Wind City? It was only a matter of time. Perhaps by that time, Star King Mountain would have already fallen under the Earthly Immortals. Very few Earthly Immortals appear on Zhen Xing. No one even knew that the previous Star Lord, Chi Tong, had already advanced to the Earthly Immortal Stage. Unfortunately, he had just advanced into the Earthly Immortal Stage but he was ambushed and killed by the Gu Nuo Earthly Immortal. For a long time, no one was able to come out with a detailed solution. A red flying messenger sword broke the silence. Yan Huimeng lifted her hand and catched the flying sword, extending her spiritual will inwards. Thereafter, she trembled with joy and said, "There¡¯s news. Because Nine Mo City was slaughtered, Star King Mountain''s Star Lord Mo Wuji was triggered. In his rage, Star Lord Mo killed Hoover and Cang Jue, and he should currently be pursuing Broken Sect''s Zhu Qu¡­" "Is this news true?" Almost all the elders stood up, staring excitedly at the flying sword in Yan Huimeng''s hand. Yan Huimeng forcefully suppressed the ecstatic emotions in her heart, nodding solemnly, "That''s right. This news had just arrived from our Tian Chi Manor''s disciple who was at Piercing Wind City. It''s definitely reliable. Star Lord Mo threw out Hoover''s corpse. And his battle with Cang Jue was observed by almost everyone in Piercing Wind City. It definitely can''t be false." "So strong!" Everyone in the hall muttered in shock. Cang Jue, as a Class 9 space beast, was equivalent to an Earthly Immortal Expert. If Mo Wuji could actually kill it, exactly how strong was he? After that initial rush of emotions, Yan Huimeng had already calmed down. She slowed down her speech and continued, "Piercing Wind City was in grave peril. Cang Jue had already destroyed Piercing Wind City''s defensive array. Piercing Wind City''s Castellan ËÕÓá and Star King Mountain''s Hall Master Yan Ze had already prepared themselves to fight to the death. That''s when Star Lord Mo arrived. Thereafter, in front of everyone, Star Lord Mo engaged in a huge battle with the Single-Horned Wolf King. Finally, he used a lightning sword to kill the Single-Horned Wolf King, Cang Jue¡­" Because of the reverberating shock and glee, the entire hall turned quiet. Almost everyone was celebrating, celebrating the fact what Zhen Xing''s Star King Mountain had such a strong Star Lord. Otherwise, not just their Tian Chi Manor, but the entire Zhen Xing would be unable to escape this calamity. Chen Yuping was the first to regain her countenance, speaking emotionally, "Manor Lord, in your previous visits, did you manage to meet this Star Lord Mo?" Everyone understood the meaning behind Elder Chen Yuping''s words: Tian Chi Manor must definitely form good relations with Star King Mountain''s Star Lord Mo. Yan Huimeng shifted her gaze to Zhuang Xiyue and after taking in a deep breath, she suddenly stood up and said, "I want to make a trip to Star King Mountain." Previously, she had already said that she did not intend to make any more visits to Star King Mountain. After all, Tian Chi Manor still had its face. If they weren''t granted an audience with the Star Lord during their visits, how could Tian Chi Manor retain its face? However, Mo Wuji was brutally strong. He was even able to kill a Class 9 space beast. He was terrifyingly strong. Facing this sort of expert, what good would they get from maintaining other pride? "I agree that Manor Lord continues to visit Star King Mountain, till we meet Star Lord Mo." Chen Yuping was the first to agree. At this instant, a maidservant hurriedly entered the grand hall. As all eyes turned towards this maidservant, she bowed and said, "Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord Mo has come to visit." "Ah!" "What!" ¡­ Everyone was still ruminating over how they could pull their ties with Star Lord Mo Wuji closer; they were even contemplating whether the marriage between the Star Lord and Tian Chi Manor would even be successful. And then, the Star Lord suddenly pays a visit, what kind of coincidence was this? Would this be the start to Tian Chi Manor¡¯s rise to power? "Hurry, hurry, invite the Star Lord¡­" Just when Yan Huimeng finished, she continued, "Wait, I will welcome him personally." No one thought that there was any problem with Yan Huimeng¡¯s words. Now that Star Lord Mo, the slayer of Cang Jue, had paid a visit, they had to treat it with utmost importance. Naturally, Tian Chi Manor¡¯s Manor Lord Zhuang had to personally welcome him. Not only the Manor Lord, even they as elders and protectors all had to welcome Star Lord Mo. "Xiyue, follow beside me." After Yan Huimeng walked two steps, she suddenly remembered of her disciple Zhuang Xiyue. She cried out urgently. Zhuang Xiyue¡¯s face was blushed, her heart was also racing. Even though she always listened to her master, she had only heard of Star Lord Mo¡¯s illustrious name and had never met him before. Mortal Board Rank 1, Earth Board Rank 1, Universal Board Rank 2. Offended the Yan Clan and Xia Clan; Offended Star King Mountain¡¯s Hall Master Wu Xiang; He even incurred the pursuit of all Zhen Xing cultivaotrs. But now, he was perfectly fine. He was even the Star Lord of Star King Mountain. If he viewed her with favour, this Star Lord Mo was very likely to be the man she would spend her life with. Even though she didn¡¯t have a choice, Zhuang Xiyue still hoped that her man could be a little handsome, and a little capable. Mo Wuji was able to become the Star Lord at such a young age, and was even at the front of all the grand boards. He was definitely a capable man. It was just that she didn¡¯t know what he looked like. As she thought of this, Zhuang Xiyue¡¯s face steamed, her heartbeat also started to become a little erratic. No young girl would wish to sleep every night with some ugly dude, much less Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s number one beauty, Zhuang Xiyue. ¡­ Mo Wuji stood outside Tian Chi Manor with his hands behind his back, admiring the Tian Chi River which was shrouded in mist. He secretly praised Tian Chi Manor for picking such a great place. This place was simply a utopia, not only was it suitable for living, it was also suitable for cultivation. [1] Tian Chi, in literal translations, means Heavenly Pool. This pool is probably referring to this huge lake. Chapter 388: Mo Tiancheng’s Whereabouts Chapter 388: Mo Tiancheng¡¯s Whereabouts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A flurry of messy footsteps caused Mo Wuji to turn back; he was instantly startled by the cluster f*ck that came to welcome him. Right at the front, was a elegant woman. Behind her, were at least ten people. By her side, there were even female protectors donned in white uniform. Mo Wuji subconsciously stroked his chin, this welcome was too extravagant, right? What''s going on? He did hear from Chi Huo¡¯Er that the Tian Chi Manor Lord had a small temper after many failed visits to the Star King Mountain. Looking at this welcome, it didn''t look like she was angry ah. "Star Lord Mo, I was just about to pay a visit to Star King Mountain. I didn''t expect for the Star Lord to grace Tian Chi Manor with your presence. This is my Tian Chi Manor''s honour¡­" Before she was even near him, Yan Huimeng had already started to greet loudly with a large smile. Not just Yan Huimeng, the elders behind her all clasped their fists and bowed, expressing their greetings. "Err¡­" Mo Wuji truly couldn''t take such warm affection. After an unintentional "Err", he hurriedly said, "The Manor Lord is too courteous. My arrival here must have troubled the Manor Lord." Yan Huimeng''s entire body seemed to be laughing, "There''s no trouble, no trouble at all. It is our Tian Chi Manor''s honour to be entrusted any task from Star Lord Mo." With that, Yan Huimeng seemed to recall something; she hurriedly said, "Xiyue, hurry and greet the Star Lord¡­ Oh right, Star Lord Mo, this is my disciple, Xiyue." "Zhuang Xiyue greets the Star Lord" Zhuang Xiyue stepped forward with her head lowered and gave Mo Wuji a lady¡¯s bow. At this instant, her heart was truly pounding heavily; she had seen many handsome cultivators and there have been no lack of handsome men visiting Tian Chi Manor to pay her a visit. However, there was never one person who was like this Star Lord Mo, who could cause her to lose control of her smallest of thoughts. At first glance, he looked no different from any ordinary guy along the street. But when she paid attention to him, why did she have this peculiar feeling? His hair was slightly tousled. When she was standing behind her master, she stole a peek at the flying messenger sword, and she knew that Cang Jue possessed this devastating fire. It was unknown whether that hair was slightly tousled due because of that fire. But when that slightly tousled hair was casually tied up, it actually gave her an indescribable sense of beauty. His figure was well-proportioned and sturdy. However, when this symmetrical body was paired with that ordinary face, it gave her the impression of a peerless man. With her clear eyes, she could see that he looked just like an ordinary mortal. However, he was far from ordinary. He had this sort agedness to him; some sort of indescribable sense of maturity and manliness. All these, however, seemed to be masked under his ordinariness. If she met him on a road, she definitely wouldn''t think that he was the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. But now that she knew that he was the Star Lord, she felt that there was no second person in the entire Zhen Xing more suitable to be the Star King Mountain''s Star Lord. Zhuang Xiyue''s heart beat violently. This man in front of her was like a grand mountain, in all his ordinariness, he masked this sense of vastness and depth. Even the most handsome man in the world, seemed like trash in front of him. Perhaps she would never get to choose her destined man, but to follow such a person was the best home she could return to. Mo Wuji finally noticed Zhuang Xiyue, he was equally stunned by Zhuang Xiyue''s beauty. On Earth, he had seen too many beauties formed with the power of makeup. Only after he arrived at Zhen Xing and met Cen Shuyin, did he understand what was true beauty. And this Zhuang Xiyue in front of him, was actually no worse than Cen Shuyin in terms of looks. She was a young girl in a light yellow dress. She only peeked at him slightly before immediately bringing her head down. However, that city-toppling beauty had already been captured in Mo Wuji''s eyes. Couple that with her perfect figure and that simple hairstyle dotted with a few flowers, not only was he stunned, he was also inundated by a incomparable sense of purity. If Shuyin was Lost Continent''s number one beauty, then this Zhuang Xiyue was definitely Zhen Mo Continent''s number one beauty. No wonder why Tian Chi Manor Lord Yan Huimeng had confidently brought Zhuang Xiyue go Star King Mountain. With this sort of gorgeous young girl, she had no reason to not be confident. Ever since Zhuang Xiyue bowed to Mo Wuji, Yan Huimeng had been observing Mo Wuji. To be honest, she was struck by Mo Wuji''s ordinariness. He was the Star Lord of Star King Mountain but he did not reverberate with even a half bit of spiritual fluctuations. He looked just like a regular mortal. She soon discovered the uniqueness of Mo Wuji; he was definitely a concealed, reserved sword. Just from his pair of clear eyes alone, she felt that no matter could escape from him. Seeing the look of appreciation Mo Wuji displayed when he saw Zhuang Xiyue, Yan Huimeng was ecstatic. She believed that there wouldn''t be any problems with this matter. "Lady Zhuang is too courteous." Mo Wuji replied with a simple clasped fist. Zhuang Xiyue''s heart tightened. When many male cultivators came to pay her a visit, they would always address her as Junior Xiyue. Even the most conservative one would call her Lady Xiyue. This was the first time someone had called her Lady Zhuang. An inexplicable feeling of distance flooded into her heart. "Star Lord Mo, please follow us inside." Yan Huimeng was much more experienced than Zhuang Xiyue. She knew that the initial salutations did not mean anything. As the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, Mo Wuji naturally couldn¡¯t immediately reveal a lusty expression. This was also the difference between Mo Wuji and that worthless Xia Mu. If Xia Mu could be like Mo Wuji, then would the Xia Clan have been eradicated? From Yan Huimeng¡¯s perspective, the reason for Xia Clan¡¯s demise, was because Xia Mu forced Mo Wuji¡¯s fiancee into the Thorny Wind Gate, causing her to perish there. She did not know that Cen Shuyin did not die in Thorny Wind Sect, but the Extreme Frost Sea. With the guidance of the entire group of people, Mo Wuji walked into Tian Chi Manor¡¯s most luxurious hall. The moment he took a seat, Tian Chi Manor¡¯s best spirit fruits and various spirit teas and wine were served. Two delicate young girls stood behind Mo Wuji, attending to his needs. Even though Mo Wuji did not drink a single mouthful of tea, after a while, they would replace it with a warm one. Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. Ever since Mo Wuji came to Zhen Xing, he had experienced many hardships. But at the same time, he was an existence of at the sect head level. Still, whether he was the sect head of Tian Ji Sect, or the alliance head of the Hundred Sect Alliance, or the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, he had never received such attentive service. This Tian Chi Manor¡¯s power was average, but they were rather experienced with such methods. Yan Huimeng started speaking like she would to a family member; she praised Mo Wuji for defending Zhen Xing and his powerful methods. It was the entire Zhen Xing¡¯s fortune that Star King Mountain had Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was not in the mood to listen to Yan Huimeng¡¯s incessant praises, and he didn¡¯t intend to stay here to indulge in luxury. After taking a few sips of tea, he directly said, "Manor Lord Yan, I came today because I have a matter to inquire." Yan Huimeng knew that the main topic had arrived; she hurriedly placed the tea cup in her hand down, speaking solemnly, "Star Lord Mo, please ask. As long as my Tian Chi Manor is able to answer it, we will definitely do so." "Then I will have to thank Manor Lord Yan. Previously, Manor Lord Yan visited Star King Mountain, but I had always been in closed doors, delaying our meeting. I seek your forgiveness for this." When Mo Wuji finished this, he did not wait for Yan Huimeng to say any words of courtesy, but continued, "A few days ago, after I came out from my closed doors, I heard that the Manor Lord had mentioned a man called Mo Tiancheng. I will not hide anything, my relationship with this Mo Tiancheng is rather deep. I hope that Manor Lord Yan can tell me more about it." Yan Huimeng had already guessed that Mo Wuji had came to visit because of Mo Tiancheng, and it was indeed as she expected. From the looks of it, she had not wasted her efforts with that investigation. She nodded seriously and said, "I wonder if Star Lord Mo has heard of Zhen Mo¡¯s Twin Valleys; one is the Valley of the Immortal Doctor, while the other is the Valley of the Immortal Pill?" "I¡¯ve heard of the Valley of the Immortal Doctor, but I¡¯ve really never heard of the Valley of the Immortal Pill." Mo Wuji replied honestly; he truly hadn¡¯t heard of any Valley of the Immortal Pill. On the other hand, the Valley of the Immortal Doctor¡¯s San Yisheng was famous, saving countless of lives. He had naturally heard of it. Yan Huimeng explained, "More than 20 years ago, Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s number one pill refiner was the Valley of the Immortal Pill¡¯s peak Tier 8 Heavenly Pill Refiner Lai Wanxing. Under sudden bursts of power, he could even concoct Tier 9 Heavenly Pills. In Zhen Mo Continent, it was an extremely difficult matter to invite him to concoct a pill. I heard that Star Lord Chi Tong had previously looked to him for help; it¡¯s unknown whether Star Lord Chi Tong¡¯s advancement to the Earthly Immortal Stage was related to Lai Wanxing." Mo Wuji nodded; when one reached the Heavenly Tier in alchemy, it was difficult to advance even a single step. For Lai Wanxing to be a peak Tier 8 Heavenly Pill Refiner was already incredible. "But 20 years ago, Lai Wanxing suddenly disappeared. No one knew where he went off to." Yan Huimeng paused, looked at Mo Wuji and said, "If I didn¡¯t discover a corpse not too long ago, I would have remained unaware of this matter. On that corpse, I found a jade token inscribed with blood. There were over ten names on that jade token¡­" With that, Yan Huimeng fetched out a jade token and handed it to Mo Wuji. This jade token wasn¡¯t found not long ago, it had already been in Tian Chi Manor for over 10 years. Mo Wuji accepted that jade token; his gaze landed on it. There were indeed some names on it: Guan Jingyan: Jade Peak School Elder, Metal-Type Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner Jia Yeshan: Rong Jun Jia Clan Pill Refiner, Metal-Type Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Pan Haohao: Red Spirit Sect Pill Refiner, Metal-Type Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. Gesi Guangjiang: Zhen Mo Rogue Cultivator, Metal-Type Tier 2 Mortal Pill Refiner. Mo Tiancheng: Lost Continent Northern Qin Mo Clan, Metal-Type Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Tiancheng¡¯s name. He knew his Grandpa Mo Tiancheng was also a pill refiner, but he didn¡¯t expect him to be Tier 3. Very soon, Mo Wuji discovered the peculiarities. All these pill refiners were of the metal-type. He himself was a Tier 6 Earth Pill Refiner, thus he naturally knew which spiritual roots were the most adverse to pill refining. The spiritual root which was the least suitable to refine pills was the metal-type spiritual roots. Not only weren¡¯t these type of roots suitable, the success rates of forming pills was extremely low. He knew expected that Mo Tiancheng not only had metal-type spiritual roots, but was also a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner. How heaven defying was his alchemy talent ah? He was very clear that even those with wood-type spiritual roots would find in hard to reach Tier 3 in Northern Qin Prefecture, much less with metal-type spiritual roots. Chapter 389: Experience Of Life Chapter 389: Experience Of Life Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Star Lord Mo, you should have seen. All the pill refiners on there had metal-type spiritual roots. To be honest, if a person had wood-type or fire-type spiritual roots, I wouldn''t be surprised if he became a Tier 7 Heavenly Pill Refiner. But for metal-type spiritual roots to become a pill refiner, and so many of them, is simply inconceivable." Noticing Mo Wuji''s silence, Yan Huimeng explained by the side. Because she knew that Mo Wuji was from the Lost Continent, so she casually asked about Mo Tiancheng. She didn''t really expect them to be related. As he continued downwards on this list of metal-type pill refiners, Mo Wuji saw a line of words, "Lai Wanxing is despicable and unscrupulous. He secretly abducted all the metal-type pill refiners in Zhen Xing, and he wants to bring us out of Zhen Xing. Borrowing the power of a concealment talisman I hid on myself, I managed to escape, but I''m still unable to pass this information on to Star King Mountain¡­" After which, there weren''t any more words. Even the name of this escaped pill refiner wasn''t left behind. Mo Wuji could guess, this pill refiner must have escaped with his final breaths and he eventually died. According to the information on this jade token, Lai Wanxing had brought all the metal-type pill refiners out of Zhen Xing, probably to do something. "What''s Lai Wanxing¡¯s cultivation?" After some time, Mo Wuji suddenly asked. Yan Huimeng promptly answered, "Not only was his talent in alchemy top class, his cultivation talent was also peerless. 100 years ago, I heard he had already reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 9. Now that 100 years have passed, I estimate that he had already entered into the Earthly Immortal Stage." "Many thanks Manor Lord, can you give me this jade token?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. Yan Huimeng smiled brightly, "It''s my honour if Star Lord Mo could accept my thing. How could I reject you?" This jade token had Mo Tiancheng''s name. Even though Mo Wuji wouldn''t specifically search for Mo Tiancheng, if he ever encountered anyone on this jade token, he do an inquiry. "My visit has been abrupt, I must have disturbed¡­" Since he had done what he needed to, Mo Wuji prepared to take his leave. Yan Huimeng did not wait for Mo Wuji to finish his words of farewell; she took the initiative to say, "Star Lord Mo, I heard that your dao companion Cen Shuyin had perished in Thorny Wind Gate. Fairy Shuyin was a peerless beauty and has a virtuous disposition. She was plotted by those vicious people, causing her to perish in the Extreme Realm. It¡¯s truly pitiable¡­" Mo Wuji''s eyes dimmed. He had intended to bring Shuyin back to her mother''s side but he still hadn''t done it. Perhaps, in his subconscience, he didn''t want Shuyin to leave. That''s why he wanted to go into space and raze Wolf King Mountain. What if he encountered the Space Wolf King? Perhaps he might perish before he managed to obliterate Wolf King Mountain. Even though he could kill Cang Jue, he knew that he still wasn''t a match for the Space Wolf King. Should he first return Shuyin to her mother''s side, or should he keep Shuyin by his side? Mo Wuji''s eyes suddenly turned blur. Indeed, he was unwilling to let Shuyin leave. Even though Shuyin was already dead, if he kept Shuyin by his side, he would still have hope. But was this what Shuyin wanted? She already said she wanted to return back at her hometown. He was truly a bit selfish. Mo Wuji sighed, he decided that he would first bring Shuyin back to the Lost Continent and bury her by her mother''s side. Then he would raze Wolf King Mountain. In his previous life, he died in the hands of a woman. In this life, a woman died for him. What regrets could he have? "My condolences, Star Lord Mo." Seeing the pained and misty look in Mo Wuji''s eyes, Yan Huimeng hurriedly said. Thereafter, she continued, "The path of cultivation is long and endless. Without a trusted companion, not only would you lose a place to entrust your heart, you also lose some attunements to the Heavenly Dao. Star Lord Mo, my disciple Xiyue is a peerless beauty, and she especially admires Star Lord Mo. If Star Lord Mo is willing, I can¡­" Mo Wuji''s sigh interrupted Yan Huimeng''s words, "Many thanks Manor Lord for your kind thoughts. Junior Xiyue''s beauty has no equal, and her personality is warm and pure. Whoever could receive Xiyue''s affection would be a lucky person. Even I was stunned by Junior Xiyue''s beauty¡­" By the side, as Zhuang Xiyue heard Mo Wuji''s words, her head increasingly faced downwards. Her face was steaming, and her heart was beating vigorously. If her master agreed, she was willing to immediately follow him. Yan Huimeng could naturally feel her disciple''s excitement, but she sighed inwardly. There was no problem with Mo Wuji''s words; he was indeed praising Xiyue. But his sigh gave her an uncomfortable feeling. Indeed, Mo Wuji continued, "But my heart belongs to someone else. Other than Shuyin, I could no longer give my heart to anyone else. I believe that Junior Xiyue''s future dao companion would definitely love her more than I could." With that, Mo Wuji stood up and bowed towards Yan Huimeng and Zhuang Xiyue. When she heard Mo Wuji''s final sentence, Zhuang Xiyue''s steaming red face instantly turned pale white. Her heart has also turned icy cold. She had never thought that someone would reject her right in her face. Was she no good? She had ways followed her master''s arrangements. Even though she would do her own research, she had never been involved with any relationship between guys and girls. Even when she was by herself, she wouldn''t think about such feelings. Whoever becomes her dao companion was an arrangement of her master. Even if she did research, her research was on the men that might catch her master''s eye. Thus, she never knew of the feeling of love which could endure life and death. As for her feeling towards Mo Wuji, most of it was comprised of her master''s respect and her reverence towards him. With regards to the feelings between man and woman, how would she know it if she hadn''t even interacted with Mo Wuji? Yan Huimeng was slightly vexed. She understood a bit about the feelings between men and women. However, as cultivators, weren''t they more focused on their personal interests? As cultivators, they didn''t even have enough time for cultivation. When would they even have the time to discuss about love? Even though she knew more than Zhuang Xiyue, she was still confused by Mo Wuji''s attitude. What did he mean when he said his heart belonged to someone else? He probably wasn''t impressed by her disciple; she didn''t believe that Mo Wuji would never ever find a second dao companion. If not even Xiyue could catch his eye, then probably no one in Zhen Xing would catch it. "Star Lord Mo¡¯s future is limitless. Naturally, you wouldn''t care about Xiyue. I¡¯ve been negligent in my judgement." Yan Huimeng started to have a temper. Even if your Star King Mountain was very powerful, there are no lack of suitors for my beauties from Tian Chi Manor. Mo Wuji did not care too much about Yan Huimeng''s attitude, but when he saw Zhuang Xiyue''s slightly trembling figure, he sighed deeply in his heart. He had unintentionally hurt another innocent girl. This was not what he wanted. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji said, "There''s this phrase from my hometown: ¡®No water''s enough when you''ve sailed in the deep blue sea; no cloud is beautiful but those on Mount Wu¡­¡¯ Perhaps there''s better water elsewhere, but in my heart, only the water in the deep blue sea could be considered water. Perhaps there are more beautiful clouds, but in my heart, only the clouds on Mount Wu are the most beautiful." With that, Mo Wuji bowed, turned and left. This words from a poem from the Tang Era poet, Yuan Zhen; these words encapsulated the feelings deep in Mo Wuji''s heart. However, Mo Wuji was only filled with contempt for this Yuan Zhen; he was a shameless person who gained fame by deceiving the public. He abandoned his wife for another woman, and when his wife died, he wrote this poem. Thereafter, before his ink ran dry, he married another woman. If that was not enough, he still played around with other women. If these words didn''t describe Mo Wuji''s feelings, he wouldn''t have bothered using it. "No water''s enough when you''ve sailed in the deep blue sea; no cloud is beautiful but those on Mount Wu¡­" Zhuang Xiyue muttered Mo Wuji''s words. This was the first time that her deepest part of her heart was touched by words. What kind of love and persevere was required to say such words? This kind of man, if she gave up on him, then she could only continue to listen to her master to the rest of her life, marrying a man that she might not even want to remember the name of. Why was she feeling lost; wasn¡¯t the man she wished for right in front of her? Did she want to marry any other random person? "Brother Mo, can I ask where''s that deep blue sea and that Mount Wu?" Zhuang Xiyue suddenly raised her head and asked Mo Wuji with lustrous eyes. The paleness on her face had already disappeared. She could care less about other things, but she must fight for this one. If that Senior Shuyin was still alive, she would silent give them her blessings. Since Senior Shuyin was already gone, why shouldn''t she fight? Didn''t her master always say, opportunities only flash by, if you fail to catch it, you lose it forever. Even Yan Huimeng noticed her disciple''s attitude and tone. This time, she didn''t call Star Lord, but directly called him Brother Mo. Clearly, this disciple of hers was bravely trying to find her own deep blue sea and Mount Wu. Mo Wuji stopped; he could feel Zhuang Xiyue''s change and courage, but he truly couldn''t be with her, even if she was any prettier. The deep blue sea and Mount Wu were merely the attachments and memories etched in his heart. He wasn¡¯t refering to an actual sea, or an actual mountain. Mo Wuji believed that Zhuang Xiyue was able to discern that; she only asked this as a display for her determination. "The deep blue sea and Mount Wu are places from my hometown. Even I, don¡¯t know whether I can ever go back there," Mo Wuji sighed. Indeed, he didn¡¯t know whether he could return to Earth. He didn¡¯t even know how he came to a planet like Zhen Xing. After saying this, Mo Wuji did not continue speaking, but slowly walked out of the hall. Zhuang Xiyue stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s gradually disappearing back, standing for a long time. After some time, Zhuang Xiyue suddenly said, "Master, I wish to go and train by myself for a period of time." Yan Huimeng stood by Zhuang Xiyue¡¯s side. She understood her disciple¡¯s disposition; she had a warm and compliant personality. But in Zhuang Xiyue¡¯s heart, she also had this determination. The moment this determination was ignited, even Yan Huimeng, as her master, could never extinguish it. Perhaps Yan Huimeng could force Zhuang Xiyue to adhere to her arrangements, but what was the point of that? "Go on then. Everything will be left to fate. We can¡¯t force some things; forcing it would only be violating one¡¯s true nature. Once you violate your true nature, you will never be able to progress," Yan Huimeng preached. Xiyue was already in the advanced Nihility God Stage. She should not face any problems protecting herself in Zhen Xing. It was also about time that Yan Huimeng lets go. Since she couldn¡¯t arrange a marriage with Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord, doing so with other sects wouldn¡¯t be very useful to her Tian Chi Manor. Moreover, doing so would only cause Xiyue to forever live a life of regret. Chapter 390: The Star Lord Is Here Chapter 390: The Star Lord Is Here Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as he left the Tian Chi Manor, a flying messenger sword flew over and landed in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. The content of the flying messenger sword was very simple: Countless of demonic beasts from the Wolf King Mountain had attacked the Universal Hall and with the cooperation of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry, there were a devastating number of Zhen Xing¡¯s casualties. This time round, it seemed like everyone came out of the Wolf King Mountain without showing any mercy. The Universal Hall is currently in a critical state of panic. Mo Wuji read this message and was fuming. Before he could even flatten the Wolf King Mountain, these space brutes from the Wolf King Mountain actually dared to visit him. Initially, Mo Wuji wanted to make a trip back to the Lost Continent first but this message made him more resolute than ever to slaughter these foreign b*stards before doing anything else. At this moment, Mo Wuji started to be suspicious because after experiencing the deaths of two Star Lords, the obliteration of three big clans and even the massacre of Nine Mo City, Zhen Xing did suffer but it shouldn¡¯t be till the extent of a critical state of panic right? This was because the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and space beasts suffered heavy losses too and their losses were all those who were combat fit. ¡­ Mo Wuji hurried over to the Universal Hall using a transfer array in the shortest possible time. Out of all the Worldly Immortal Stage experts in the Universal Hall, Mo Wuji only saw Yan Ze. Yan Ze looked haggard and the spirituality around him seemed to be distorted. "Star Lord," Yan Ze finally heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the Mo Wuji as he hurried to pay his respects. The remaining cultivators in the Universal Pier hurried over to pay their respects too. Mo Wuji was the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain so even though many of them had not seen him personally before, tapes of him had been continuously replayed at every corner of the Universal Hall. It could be said that without Star Lord Mo, the Universal Hall wouldn¡¯t have existed till today. "Where are Hall Master Su and co.?" Mo Wuji asked immediately. Yan Ze pointed outside of the Universal Pier and said, "Hall Master Su had personally entered the Star Wars Battlefield and she wasn¡¯t the only one. All the Worldly Immortal Stage experts of the Star King Mountain had entered the battlefield. If not because this matter was critical to us, Hall Master Su wasn¡¯t planning to disturb you at all." Mo Wuji nodded his head, because after they knew that he didn¡¯t like to deal with such trivial matters, the few hall masters, elders and defenders wouldn¡¯t disturb him unless it was an emergency. This time round, he received the news from a flying messenger sword so this must be an emergency which required him to settle. "I will go over to take a look," Mo Wuji finished his piece and headed towards level three of the Universal Pier. Yan Ze was still explaining while walking beside him, "Previously when the Space Wolf King was still around, he wouldn¡¯t deploy his full force to attack. He knew clearly that there would only be advantages and no disadvantages to engage a Star Wars once in awhile. This was because it would allow the demonic beasts of the Wolf King Mountain to receive sufficient combat trainings so as to make them stronger. Concurrently, he could reduce the number of space beasts in the Wolf King Mountain so as to save the resources in the Wolf King Mountain. Now that the Space Wolf King was not around, the space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army went crazy in their effort to attack us." Mo Wuji heard Yan Ze¡¯s words and knew that this was probably instigated by someone and that someone was definitely the man who escaped from the Universal Pier, Zhu Qu. To treat Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators as target practice for their own cultivation, this Space Wolf King was simply too optimistic. The Star Lord now wasn¡¯t Chi Tong but himself, Mo Wuji. Even if there was a need for target practices, it should be the other way round: space beasts as target practices for the cultivators of Zhen Xing. "Hall Master Yan, we have so many sects in the Zhen Xing with so many Worldly Immortal Stage experts so we shouldn¡¯t be in a disadvantage right? Why does it seems like the situation is not favourable to us?" Mo Wuji asked what he was most curious about. Yan Ze clenched his teeth and said, "This was because all the lare sects in the Zhen Mo Continent were trying to reap benefits without putting in efforts by not participating in the war. In this Star Wars, other than the Star King Mountain, there were only two sects out of the 10 who were willing to fight." "Didn¡¯t we contact them?" Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turned ugly because the main force of the Zhen Mo Continent was from the combined forces of the Star King Mountain, cultivator armies and the various large sects. In actual fact, during a cultivators war, the most important factor would be the number of experts available on each side. If most of the experts from the large sects in Zhen Mo Continent were not willing to come, the Zhen Mo Continent would definitely be at a disadvantage in this war. "How could we not contact them? We have sent out so many flying messenger swords and the only one who came to help was you, our Star Lord. All the various sects have their specific transfer array so the message should reach them faster than it reached you. These experts from the various sects didn¡¯t only not come to help but even those who were already at the Universal Hall didn¡¯t bother heading towards the Star Wars Battlefield," Yan Ze was fuming with a trace of helplessness. No matter how strong the Star King Mountain was, they simply couldn¡¯t flatten all the sects right? If they were reluctant to fight, the Star King Mountain couldn¡¯t possibly drag them out to fight right? Mo Wuji laughed coldly because it was the exactly the same selfishness in people everywhere he went. It seemed like before he leave Zhen Xing, he had to do something to make sure all the large sects knew that he wasn¡¯t just a Star Lord for show. Just because he hadn¡¯t done anything to them for wanting his life previously, they actually dared to climb all over his head. They must have thought he was such a kind Star Lord that they could bully. "Hall Master Yan, continue guarding the Universal Hall. Concurrently, record down the sects who bothered fighting for us against the foreign invaders this time round. I will get the list from you when I am back," After Mo Wuji finished his sentence, he hurried into the third level of the Universal Pier and stepped out of the spatial gate. Yan Ze was after all still a Hall Master of the Star King Mountain and back then during the internal conflicts of the three big clans, the fact that he didn¡¯t give up on his position proved that he wasn¡¯t like the rest of them. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he knew that the Star Lord was enraged and he was desperate to find out what the Star Lord would do to them after this big war. Honestly speaking, ever since he had became a hall master, he enjoyed himself the most during the period of time when Mo Wuju was the Star Lord. At least he didn¡¯t have any grievances and could fight whenever he needed without the need to hold back for whatever reasons. Chi Tong had the best intentions for Zhen Xing but Yan Ze didn¡¯t exactly enjoy himself when being under Chi Tong because every time they reached a crucial part of the war, Chi Tong would insist not to anger the Wolf King and give in to them. ¡­ After charging out of the Universal Pier, the first thing he heard was the sound of insane killing and as he used his spiritual will to scan outwards, he was extremely infuriated. There were at least over two million cultivators from the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivator army on the battlefield but as compared to the countless of space beasts and cavalry army, they were like a drop of water going against an ocean. There were countless of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivators being killed in every moment in time while the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army charged forward fearlessly. Billions of space beasts were also constantly biting and tearing the corpse of the Zhen Mo cultivators. Whether it was Su Xuan, Sang Caihe or Luo Yuchen, they were all currently trapped in the middle and was simply unable to get out to organise their forces to attack. Yan Ze wasn¡¯t lying because out of all the Worldly Immortal Stage experts that he spotted, they were all from the Star King Mountain. In truth, as compared to Chi Tong, Su Xuan wasn¡¯t really as capable in holding the position of the commander of the cultivator army. If not for the fact that the Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry army and the space beasts were also scattered apart, the cultivator army would have been completely obliterated long ago. At this moment, no matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to gather the entire cultivator army to create a better attacking formation. The only thing he could do now, was to enter this messy war and kill as many as he could. Fortunately, this was a cultivator war, not a war between mortals. In a war between cultivators, many of them relied not on charging formations but on sacred arts and magic skills. Mo Wuji immediately stepped into the battlefield and raised his hand to release his Lightning Rain. After he advanced to the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2, his spiritual will could extend to over 10,000 metres away from him. Therefore, his Lightning Rain could cover an area of over a few hundred metres square and the destructive power was even stronger than before. At this point in time, even if he didn¡¯t use any cannon, as long as no Earthly Immortal Stage expert came over to stop him, he would not be afraid even if all billions of space beasts were to surround him. "Boom boom boom boom!" Explosions were heard everywhere as an insane amount of blue lightning bolts fell like rain onto the battlefield. His Lightning Rain would definitely cover every single inch of the area within 100 metres square of him. Whether it was the space demonic beasts, Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry army or even the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivator army would have to scram under the explosive attacks of Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Rain. All sorts of devastating cries could be heard and every lightning bolt that landed on a body would cause one to lose his life. Very soon, the cultivators from the Zhen Mo cultivator army realised that as long as they don¡¯t run about frantically, the lightning bolts would do no harm to them. "The Star Lord is here! Do not run around mindlessly under the Lightning Rain." "Star Lord is here!" "My Star Lord of the Star King Mountain is here!" ¡­ In only a short period of time, the news of the the Star Lord arriving at the battlefield spreaded across the entire battlefield. The morale of the Star King Mountain¡¯s cultivator army suddenly increased tremendously while the Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry army as well as the space demonic beasts of the Wolf King Mountain all lifted their head to look at the sky full of lightning bolts which were about to fall on them. No one here possessed a technique like Mo Wuji¡¯s magic skill which was capable of killing the masses. Very soon, these space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry army reacted as a few experts hurried towards Mo Wuji. They were not fools because looking at how strong Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning bolts were, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry army and the space beasts would definitely be defeated in no time. Chapter 391: Number 1 Chapter 391: Number 1 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Whether it was the Worldly Immortal Stage experts of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe or the Class 8 space beasts that charged towards Mo Wuji, they were all not capable of stopping Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Rain. They couldn¡¯t even protect themselves from the Lightning Rain unless they drew out their own magic treasure because they were facing not only the attacks from the Lightning Rain but Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning swords too. Mo Wuji would naturally not use his lightning swords against the weaker class demonic beasts as well as the weaker cultivators. However, against Worldly Immortal Stage experts or Class 8 beasts, he definitely had to treat them differently. Occasionally when he was met with even stronger experts or beasts, he had to release a few of his lightning webs too. "He is an Earthly Immortal Stage expert, hurry up and retreat¡­" Very soon, people noticed that Mo Wuji was able to kill Worldly Immortal Stage experts and Class 8 beasts easily which wasn¡¯t something a Worldly Immortal Stage expert could do. Hence, the only explanation was that Mo Wuji was an Earthly Immortal Stage expert. As more and more Worldly Immortal Stage experts as well as Class 8 space beasts started to surround Mo Wuji, Su Xuan and the rest of the Worldly Immortal Stage experts from the Star King Mountain were finally able to relax a little. After a while, they continued to take the lives of those space beasts at an insane rate. However, no matter how fast they were killing the space beasts, their speed was nothing compared to Mo Wuji¡¯s speed. The initially chaotic battlezone became even more chaotic. Even though it was chaotic previously, there was still some sort of sequence within the chaos. Throughout the battle, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army was charging forward while the space beasts were focused on surrounding and killing. The Zhen Mo Continent cultivators were only able to get killed or defend themselves as the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the space beasts had the absolute upper hand in the war. Now that Mo Wuji broke the sequence of this chaotic war, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army started to retreat frantically while the not so intelligent space beasts were simply running around headlessly. Mo Wuji was initially intending to raze the Wolf King Mountain so why would he let this chance to massacre all these foreign invaders slip away? He simply released more of his Lightning Rain. "That guy is Star Lord Mo and our Wolf King Mountain had already lost to him, let¡¯s retreat. Star Lord Mo, you may ask your troops to retreat too¡­" A Space Bull in the peak of Class 8 hurried to shout as he noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s incredible killing spree. Mo Wuji was dumbfounded because who was this dumb fella? To actually say such dumb words... Su Xuan landed beside Mo Wuji and this intense war had already resulted in some distortion in her spirituality coupled with the few extra wounds and messy hair. "Star Lord Mo, previously when faced with such a situation, Star Lord Chi would usually choose to stop killing. That demonic bull¡¯s name is Niu Man and even though he was not as strong as Bao Lie, he was one of the more vicious personnel in the Wolf King Mountain. He was the one who said that the Space Wolf King is back," Before she could even tidy her own clothes, she hurried to say this. She was clearly aware of the Space Wolf King¡¯s capabilities so the moment the Space Wolf King came back, then their greatest worry wouldn¡¯t be whether to continue killing or not but how to protect the Universal Hall. Because Mo Wuji just arrived, she had to explain the situation to Mo Wuji before anything else. "Star Lord Mo, the Space Wolf King of my Wolf King Mountain had already returned so if you choose to continue your mass killing, you would be forming a deadly feud with the Space Wolf King. He would definitely turn this place into nothing more than ashes if that happens," Niu Man shouted out loud. Mo Wuji simply couldn¡¯t be bothered with Niu Man as he turned to Su Xuan,"Immediately gather the cultivator army of the Zhen Mo Continent and kill those foreign invaders that are trying to escape. Try your best to recapture the locations that were taken over by the foreign troops earlier on." Noticing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother mentioning the Space Wolf King¡¯s name, how could Su Xuan not understand Mo Wuji¡¯s intention to kill them all and not let a single foreign scum escaped alive. "Yes," Su Xuan was explaining her worries to Mo Wuji and the final decision would naturally be made by the Star Lord himself. The Star Lord¡¯s decision to exterminate the entire foreign force was in fact aligned with her wishes. Star Lord Chi Tong had been cautiously maintaining the equilibrium with the foreign troops but wasn¡¯t he betrayed and assassinated by an Earthly Immortal Stage expert of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe? If it wasn¡¯t for Star Lord Mo¡¯s heroics back then, this would have already became the backyard of the foreign invaders. The initially hesitant cultivator army were suddenly highly motivated after hearing the order to kill every single scums of the foreign forces. The cultivator army was already extremely low-spirited because of the losses of fellow comrades in the war and the lack of hope thus far. Currently, seeing how the tides had turned and their commander¡¯s orders to kill at full force, why would they be able shred of hesitation in them? Killing to their hearts¡¯ content was what everyone loved to do as almost two million cultivators from the cultivator army charged forward to surround the enemies before slaughtering them. Even Mo Wuji himself charged into the crowd of space beasts as the area that his Lightning Rain could cover increased yet again. At this moment, he had already given his orders so there was no longer a need for him to worry about the cultivator army being lost hence, he could focus on killing too. With the help of the cultivator army, he could easily kill billions of foreign forces in an extremely short period of time. "You dare go against the Space Wolf King of my Wolf King Mountain?" Niu Man asked as he noticed that Mo Wuji¡¯s attacks were getting wilder instead of showing signs of weakening. Moreover, the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivator army was also charging forward to kill more of their forces. A lightning sword charged towards him and Niu Man instinctively shifted his massive body but the lightning sword still managed to scrape out a trace of blood from his body. "Who is the Space Wolf King and how dare he cause so much trouble for my Zhen Xing?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stop attacking while he spoke as the sky full of lightning rain and lightning swords started to gather together. Yet another lightning sword flew over and as Niu Man managed to dodge it once again, he was trapped by a lightning web. Following which, another lightning sword pierced right through his waist and Niu Man let out a devastating cry before escaping the lightning web as a black shadow and then disappearing into the space. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even afraid of the Space Wolf King and he even killed an expert in the Earthly Immortal Stage so why would he stay and await his death here? Even though the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and space beasts army were superior in terms of numbers, they didn¡¯t have any Class 9 beasts or Earthly Immortal Stage experts within their ranks. Additionally, after the Space Wolf King went to chase after Star Lord Mo, he disappeared and had never returned ever since. Otherwise, Cang Jue would never have risked his life to enter Zhen Xing. He was simply lying when he said that the Space Wolf King was back at the Wolf King Mountain. Now that the Space Wolf King had not returned and the man he was chasing, Mo Wuji, appeared as if nothing had happened while slaughtering almost everyone here. In fact, Mo Wuji seemed to have even advanced into the Earthly Immortal Stage so Niu Man must be extremely tired of living if he chose not to escape. After Niu Man left, the chaotic crowd of space beasts became even more chaotic and the whole place was filled with space beasts scrambling around. At this moment, even the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army found it hard to find an opening to escape. The area that Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning rain covered was getting increasingly large as more and more Gu Nuo Star Tribe cavalry army and space beasts were killed because of his lightning rain. Su Xuan, who was watching Mo Wuji from afar, gasped as she was dumbfounded. She knew clearly that her Star Lord had not advanced to the Earthly Immortal Stage yet an attack like this was simply no weaker than an attack of an Earthly Immortal Stage expert. It was no wonder Zhu Qu would escape into space, fearful of facing her Star Lord. The more shocking thing to her was that the Star Lord¡¯s elemental energy and spiritual will seemed like it would never dry up or at least his sky full of Lightning Rain never seemed to have weakened from the very beginning. This was no longer a war but a one sided massacre and after one whole day, this piece of space finally calmed down. Mo Wuji also stopped releasing Lightning Rain as his elemental energy was almost fully exhausted. Almost billions of space beasts and hundred thousands of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe¡¯s cavalry army had been killed by his Lightning Rain and the attacks from the cultivator army. Those who managed to escape were only less than half of the total size force that came. Mo Wuji took out the universal token on his waist as he glanced at it before heaving a sigh of relief. The words were very clear as it showed, Mo Wuji, Space Contribution Points: 9999999, Rank: 1. He was finally ranked first as he remembered back then when he killed Cang Jue, Hoover and fellas like Bao Lie, he was only ranked second even though he had about 5 millions worth of contribution points. He was curious to know what kind of hacker the Bian Shuangbi fella was that Mo Wuji needed almost 10 million points to surpass him. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that the points he had was so coincidental that he was only one point away from 10 million points. He was certain that this was not a coincidence and that this was a limit which in other words, meant that the maximum amount of contribution points one could collect in a universal token was 9,999,999 points. "Star Lord, if it wasn¡¯t for your timely arrival, our Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivator army would have been completely obliterated," Su Xuan and Sang Caihe hurried over too as Sang Caihe¡¯s injuries appeared a little more severe than Su Xuan¡¯s. She was extremely thankful because even she would have lost her life today if it wasn¡¯t for Mo Wuji¡¯s arrival. Mo Wuji looked at the Worldly Immortal Stage experts around and 90% of them were from the Star King Mountain while only about a few experts were from other sects. "How many of my Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivator armies were activated this time round?" Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on the cultivator armies who were still cleaning up the mess as he had this premonition that they didn¡¯t just activate these 2 million cultivators. Su Xuan¡¯s face turned gloomy, "All 10 armies were activated and we brought out a total of over 4.2 million cultivators. Currently, we have about 1.9 millions survivors which was less than half of our initial numbers. This was the biggest loss in our entire history of wars in space." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath of cold air as he knew that they suffered heavy losses but never expected them to be this heavy. The reason was probably not due to the lack in numbers because the strength of the cultivator''s army was never in their numbers. The main reason should be because there were far too little experts within the Zhen Mo cultivator army. Su Xuan was the commander of the army so she should rightfully be directing their formation and attacks instead of getting involved in the fight herself. It was only because the larger clans and sects refused to support the army which was why she had no choice but to fight personally. "The reason why we suffered such heavy losses was because the army lacked a number one commander. If it wasn¡¯t for Xuanyu who stepped out to command the few armies that were here, our losses could have been much worse," Su Xuan said in a serious face. She really wanted to complain to Mo Wuji that the actual reason was because the experts from all the other sects refused to help. However, as long as there were still some members of other other sects around the area, she didn¡¯t want to say such things. "Immediately gather all the experts in the Worldly Immortal Stage and above, all the respective sect heads of the larger sects, three star commanders and above in the Universal Hall for a meeting. Shu Xuanyu shall be in charge of all the cultivator armies in the Star Wars Battlefield for the time being," Mo Wuji said with a stern face. Chapter 392: Star Lord Mo’s New Rule Chapter 392: Star Lord Mo¡¯s New Rule Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Universal Palace, the Star King Mountain¡¯s encampment in the Universal Hall. Presently, there were no empty seats in the Universal Palace and ever since Star Lord Chi Tong held a large scale meeting during the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace, today was the first time the Universal Palace was so crowded. Mo Wuji sat on the main seat in the Universal Palace while Su Xuan and Yan Ze sat on either side of him. Chi Huo¡¯Er and Chanse stood respectfully behind him. Before Mo Wuji spoke, the Universal Palace was extremely silent. Everyone here was aware that their Star Lord recently used his lightning magic skill to kill over billions of space beasts, turning the tide of the entire war in their favour single-handedly. If there were still sects who weren¡¯t convinced by this Star Lord¡¯s capabilities previously, there would definitely be no one who would dare to think this way anymore. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes swept across the entire Universal Palace and he noticed that there was almost no absentees here. When the foreign forces invaded the Universal Hall, none of the sect heads or experts were around but now that the foreign forces were defeated, all the sect heads and clan¡¯s patriarchs arrived so quickly. After he scanned through the entire Universal Palace, Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. Previously, he didn¡¯t care much about matters in Zhen Xing and furthermore, he simply used his huge cannon to snatch the Universal Hall back so he believed that there were still a lot of people who didn¡¯t treat him as a Star Lord. There were even some people who treated him as the second Chi Tong, who was not yet deserving of the same respect they had for Chi Tong. Because of Chi Tong¡¯s status, he could still garner the support of the masses when needed but because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother much about the administrative matters of Zhen Xing, many sects didn¡¯t regard him highly. "I believe everyone knows the reason why I gather all of us here. Not too long ago, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe formed an alliance with the demonic beasts from the Wolf King Mountain to attack the Universal Hall. Even though our Zhen Xing cultivator army managed to chase these foreign forces away eventually, we suffered tremendous losses. We started with about 4.2 million cultivators and ended the war with less than 2 million. As the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain, I feel responsible for these losses." Mo Wuji¡¯s tone became very solemn which resulted in most of the sect heads lowering their heads in silence while listening to Mo Wuji¡¯s speech. They knew that Mo Wuji was implying a hidden message with that sentence and that he was blaming them for not helping. However, such things were not abnormal to them because previously when Chi Tong was the Star Lord, every time there was a war, they were also guilty of not helping and eventually got away with it without any repercussions. If they were to help every single time, who would replenish the resources each sect had exhausted during the war? Mo Wuji saw that nobody spoke up and was almost fuming inside. He was after all the big boss of Zhen Xing and even after he stood out to admit his mistake, none of the smaller boys actually wanted to share the responsibility. These group of fellas really thought that he was easy to bully. After taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji said again, "This time round, even though my Star King Mountain, Vitality Sect, Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect and the cultivator army managed to get rid of the foreign invaders, who could guarantee that they wouldn¡¯t come again? Furthermore, there was still the sect head of the Broken Sect and the Space Wolf King. Therefore, I¡¯ve decided to revamp the rules of the Universal Hall as well as the Piercing Wind City." A few brighter sect heads had already noticed that something was off. That¡¯s right, even though only the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect rendered help to fight the war, the fact that the Star Lord only mentioned these two sects meant that he was clearly offending the rest of the sects present. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered about how those sect heads thought about his speech as he continued, "To prevent these foreign invaders from entering Zhen Xing, I will reinvent the array gates at the Universal Pier. There are a total of nine array gates at the Universal Pier that leads to the Star Wars Battlefield while seven of the array gates were meant for the cultivator army to use during the Star Wars itself. During peacetime, there are only two array gates that can be used, one for entering and one for exiting." Everyone kept quiet because no matter how many array gates were opened to be used, it wouldn¡¯t result in significant losses for any of them. "In the future, every cultivator who wants to enter or exit the Star Wars Battlefield must have a new universal identity token of their own. Those who participated in the recent war against the foreign invaders will be given this new identity token for free and have the authority to enter or leave the Star Wars Battlefield anytime they want to." This sentence left the majority of the audience confused because from the onstart, the Star Wars Battlefield was free for everyone to enter and leave as they wished. They would at most be required to show their universal tokens before doing so. These sects and experts were easily able to get such tokens for whoever they wanted to so why must they exchange for a new one now? And by interpreting the Star Lord¡¯s words, it seemed like they were still required to pay fees to make the new universal token? Mo Wuji were not bothered by the thoughts of the other sects as he carried on, "Because the Star King Mountain, Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect participated in the recent war, all disciples of the Vitality Sect and Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect can collect their new universal identity token as well as enjoy the rights to enter and leave the Star Wars Battlefield at will without paying additional fees." "Star Lord, what about the cultivators of the other sects?" A middle-aged man stood up and asked while clasping his fist. Chanse, who had been empowered by Mo Wuji since a long time ago, shouted furiously, "What are you? How dare you ask a question without getting the permission of the Star Lord? And you didn¡¯t even report your own sect. Scram out of the Piercing Wind City now." Everyone was shocked at his order. Out of the Piercing Wind City? Not just the Universal Palace? This meant that this fella had to leave the Universal Palace, Universal Hall and even out of the Piercing Wind City. And all this was just because he didn¡¯t ask the Star Lord for permission to ask a question? This was simply too harsh right? The middle-aged man in question was in daze. He was after all still a sect¡¯s elder and in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. Another man, who was standing beside this elder, stood up and clasped his fist before saying, "Plain Girder Sect¡¯s head, Lun Han, has something to say." Without waiting for Lun Han¡¯s request for permission to be granted, Chi Huo¡¯Er had already took a step forward, extended his arm towards the middle aged man beside Lun Han and sent him flying out of the Universal Hall. Following which, Chi Huo¡¯Er said coldly, "Send this man out of the Piercing Wind City and then cancel this man¡¯s permit to enter the Piercing Wind City as well as the Universal Hall." "Roger that!" A response and then footsteps were heard from outside the Universal Palace. Some of the sect heads¡¯ hearts turned cold because most of them recognised the fella who was just thrown out. He was Elder Si Jin from the Plain Girder Sect and was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. They couldn¡¯t believe that a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert was just thrown out like that and the more important point was that Si Jin was actually barred from entering the Universal Hall in the future. If he lost his rights to enter the Universal Hall, it would mean that he would have lost his rights to the enter the Star Wars Battlefield too. If he lost his rights to enter the Star Wars Battlefield, it would also mean that Si Jin would forever be stuck at his current cultivation level. There was limited resources in Zhen Xing so staying in Zhen Xing would definitely not do him any good. Furthermore, all the top grade auctions in the Zhen Mo Continent were held in the Universal Hall. In Zhen Xing, even if you have spirit stones, one wouldn¡¯t be able to buy quality things with it. Only after Si Jin was thrown out, Mo Wuji said faintly, "Chanse, don¡¯t interrupt others while they speak. We practice freedom of speech here so anyone is free to speak even without my permission." "Yes, Star Lord," Chanse hurried to bow and answer. Everyone present knew that the Star Lord was punishing Si Jin to serve as a warning to the rest of the crowd. This was the initial display of his strength to the masses that he was not someone to be trifled with. It seemed as though they have angered this young Star Lord by not participating in the war against the foreign forces. Thinking about his vicious methods, many of them started to feel extremely uneasy. Initially, Lun Han stood up because he wanted to plead for Elder Si Jin but now that Si Jin was being thrown out and even chased out of the Piercing Wind City, Lun Han could only swallow what he wanted to say and asked this instead, "Star Lord, so how do the rest of us enter or leave the Star Wars Battlefield in the future?" This wasn¡¯t just the concern of his Plain Girder Sect but the concern of all the rest of the sects because any sect who wished to progress needed to be able to enter the Star Wars Battlefield freely. Otherwise, the sect would vanish without a trace and eventually ended up as part of Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s history book. Lun Han asked what everyone wanted to ask so as he finished speaking, all eyes fell onto Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "This was also the next thing I am going to address. All the remaining cultivators would be qualified to enter the Star Wars Battlefield but you have to be recommended by disciples of the Star King Mountain, Vitality Sect and Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect to be able to make a new universal identity token. Simultaneously, fees would be recalculated for those who stayed in the Star Wars Battlefield for more than a month. If one is still inside a month after the fees have been recalculated, the fees would continue to accumulate." "This isn¡¯t fair!" A well built man suddenly stood up as his spirituality was seeping out of his body and Mo Wuji could tell that this man was at least in the advanced stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5. As he noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s glare, this man suddenly shivered and hurried to bow and clasp his fist respectfully before calming himself as he said, "Da Luo Sect¡¯s head, You Zuodao greets the Star Lord and I feel that the Star Lord¡¯s new rule is slightly unfair. If we were to go ahead with this rule, I am afraid that there might be internal conflicts within the Zhen Mo Continent because many sects would definitely be unhappy about this. Our Zhen Xing was already burdened with so many troubles and if things were to get messy with more internal conflicts, I am afraid we might collapsed very soon." Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Sect Head You¡¯s words really struck me. Is Hall Master Luo around?" A golden haired young man carrying a spear on his back stood up immediately, "Luo Yuchen is here and willing to serve at your pleasure, Star Lord." During his many years at the Star King Mountain, Luo Yuchen had never been this happy before. This Star Lord was direct,straightforward and was willing to fight when provoked instead of cowering in fear. All the restrains and depression under Star Lord Chi Tong had disappeared without a trace and this joy that he experienced under Mo Wuji led to a new breakthrough in his cultivation level. "You shall bring 500,000 cultivators to guard the Piercing Wind City. The moment a sect tries to mess around in Zhen Xing, immediately raze them without any mercy. Oh yes, because the Vitality Sect and Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect contributed the most during the recent war, if any other sects tries to do something to them in the dark, exterminate that sect without question instantly, " Mo Wuji said with a stern face. "Roger that!" Luo Yuchen answered convincingly. Everyone else¡¯s heart turned cold because he was simply waiting for the conflicts between sects to happen so that he could use it as an excuse to exterminate them. If they were unable to enter the Star Wars Battlefield, they wouldn¡¯t be able to collect cultivation resources and without these resources, it would really be impossible to not have any internal conflicts between sects. One could imagine that under the protection of the Star Lord, the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect would definitely grow the fastest and eventually becoming the top two sect of the Zhen Mo Continent. This Star Lord Mo was obviously trying to support the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect to defeat the rest of the sects. "Star Lord Mo, everyone here belonged to sects of the Zhen Mo Continent so why are you treating us differently?" You Zuodao controlled the raging anger in his heart to ask this. Chapter 393: As Long As Ism Happy Chapter 393: As Long As I''m Happy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Everyone including You Zuodao stared at Mo Wuji as almost everyone could predict how Mo Wuji was going to answer. The moment he mentioned it was because only the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect participated in the recent Star Wars, they would immediately refute his claim. Because this was the first time these two sects participated in a Star Wars. Previously, when Chi Tong was the Star Lord, these two sects only occasionally supported the war and this was the first time they actually send their full force out to war. On the contrary, when Star Lord Chi Tong was around, the other sects would always send people to participate in the war. Even though not all the sects came out at once, there were so many wars against the foreign forces and every sect would have participated at least once or twice. This was also You Zuodao¡¯s reason to be angry because he knew his Da Luo Sect was decently strong and had even sent a few Worldly Immortal Stage experts to fight in the war before. Hearing You Zuodao¡¯s words, Vitality Sect¡¯s head and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect¡¯s head started to be nervous. The reason why they sent out all their forces in this war was because the Star Lord was no longer Chi Tong. These two sects had always advocate on not being merciful to the enemies but every time they fought a war with the foreign forces, whenever the Zhen Mo Continent¡¯s cultivators had the upper hand, Star Lord Chitong would always show mercy to the enemies and allowed them to escape. If they were to participate in such a war, they would have died feeling uneasy. This was especially true for the Vitality Sect¡¯s technique which was based on conscience. To hold in their anger towards the enemies and let them off during a war was obviously not in line with their conscience. They would rather not participate in a war with no clear cut winners. However, Star Lord Mo killed the Wolf King Mountain¡¯s white-eyed wolf, millions of foreign invaders as well as the Space Wolf King¡¯s eldest son, Chang Jue without any shred of hesitation. They would only truly enjoy themselves in wars under Star Lord Mo so after Su Xuan sent out the SOS message, the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect was the first to send all their experts out to provide reinforcements. It turned out that the Star Lord Mo didn¡¯t disappoint him because he didn¡¯t only kill billions of foreign invaders but also gave him fullest support to both the sects. Mo Wuji laughed coldly as he didn¡¯t believe these people didn¡¯t know the reason why he did what he did. This time round, only the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect came out to help the fight against the foreign invaders and these people here weren¡¯t idiot so why did they have to ask? Since they asked even though they knew the answer, it seemed like he did the right thing to let Chi Huo¡¯Er chased that Plain Girder Sect fella out. Sometimes, one would need to show his might so that people would listen to him. If he had no capabilities, he wouldn¡¯t be able to sit on where he was sitting now. "Am I the Star Lord or are you the Star Lord? Unless you are unhappy with me being the Star Lord? Can¡¯t I do what makes me happy?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone suddenly turned cold and his strong spiritual will extended towards him. The initially fuming You Zuodao subconsciously took a step back under the pressure from Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and he would have took even more steps back if not for something blocking his back. Under the pressure from Mo Wuji¡¯s aura, the spirituality around You Zuodao instantly collapse and his face turned paler than ever. "I was being impudent," You Zuodao hurried to bow as he said cautiously. He was certain that as long as he said something inappropriate, he would have lost his small life here and the Da Luo Sect would eventually disappear without a trace in Zhen Xing. Mo Wuji said in a more relaxed tone, "Concurrently, Zhen Xing would have one more honourary title called the ¡®Planet Defending Sect¡¯ and both the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect will be given this honourary title." You Zuodao served as a fine example as to how a sect head would be treated if one were to stand up and question the Star Lord. The smaller clans were all trembling in so much fear that they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe out loud. They had been under many Star Lords of the Star King Mountain but they had never seen such a mighty Star Lord. Some of the sect heads recalled that the moment this Star Lord Mo took over, he immediately exterminated the Yan and Xia Clan before snatching the authority to control the cultivator army from the Mou Clan. They all calmed themselves down because if even the Mou Clan voluntarily gave up on the Morning Star Army and part of the Northern Star Army, what would these sects mean to the Star Lord Mo? Some of them started to regret because they should have flew over immediately when they received the SOS flying messenger sword from the Universal Hall. Who would have thought that the Star Lord, who normally didn¡¯t care about the matters in the Universal Hall, would suddenly be so powerful? In fact, the moment Mo Wuji took charge, he dissolved the conflicts between the large powers in the Star King Mountain by razing the Xia and Yan Clan which proved his vicious means of doing things. The minority of the sect heads who wanted to use the excuse of not receiving the SOS message also swallowed their words back because such words would only anger the mighty Star Lord and who knew what this mighty Star Lord would do if he was angered? This excuse might have worked if this was Star Lord Chi Tong instead because even if Star Lord Chi Tong knew that it was an excuse, he would have given everyone some face and accepted it. However, when faced with this Star Lord Mo, they could forget about receiving the same treatment. A white skinned youth stood up and cupped his fist towards Mo Wuji before saying, "I am the sect head of the Jidu Immortal School, Chi Huahai and I have something to say." Mo Wuji could not help but praise this fella in his heart because he looked so young yet was already in the peak of the True God Stage. He definitely had a great potential to be great yet he decided to step out and court for his death. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t reveal any strange expression and said calmly, "This is the Zhen Xing Conference so feel free to say anything you want." "Yes," Chi Huahai clasped his fist again and said, "My Jidu Immortal School was located at a remote place so we didn¡¯t receive the Universal Hall¡¯s SOS message the first time round. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I coincidentally come out of my closed door cultivation and opened up my defensive array, I wouldn¡¯t even have heard of this Zhen Xing Conference." The moment Chi Huahai¡¯s words came out, many sect heads lowered their head and was reluctant to be implicated by this fella. This was a typical example of ¡®If you don¡¯t seek death, you wouldn¡¯t die¡¯. This fella was extremely talented as he advanced into the True God Stage Level 9 at such a young age. Moreover, after his father, Chi Tianchang, disappeared in space, he instantaneously took over the throne of the Jidu Immortal School. Everyone guessed that he must have been too sick of being the sect head which was why he decided to say such things to seek for his death. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows and said, "Are you saying that because the Jidu Immortal School is located at a remote place and because of your closed defensive array, you couldn¡¯t receive the flying messenger sword?" "Yes, my Jidu Immortal School¡¯s defensive array is a little unique and because of the remoteness of my base, this wasn¡¯t the first time we didn¡¯t receive the flying messenger sword," Chi Huahai answered. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Seems like you are right and this is indeed a problem. The foreign forces could invade our Zhen Xing anytime so if such an incident were to happen again, it would definitely be problematic for us. Chi Huahai, immediately return to your sect and relocate your Jidu Immortal School. You have one day to do so." "Ah¡­" Chi Huahai was dumbfounded. For a sect to be established, the most important factor was its location. Throughout all these years, all the good spots in the Zhen Mo Continent had already been occupied by the stronger sects. Furthermore, it simply wasn¡¯t that easy to re-establish a sect in a new location. The various arrays, secret cultivation spot, arrangements of the sect and many more had to be taken into considerations... All these required generations of cultivators or even tens of generations to complete it if they were to start from scratch. Jidu Immortal School had already been in existence for over thousands of years and was already one of the more reputable sect in the Zhen Mo Continent. The existing Ji Du spiritual vein was even ranked fourth out of the top 10 spiritual veins in the entire Zhen Mo Continent. Is Star Lord Mo crazy? How could he order a reputable sect like this to relocate just like that? All the other sects were looked at Chi Huahai like as though they were looking at an idiot because Chi Huahai was brought up in a big pool of honey.[1] Even though he had immense talent and a high cultivation level, it was entirely because of his closed doors cultivation. All his cultivation resources were brought to him by his father and the sect so he wouldn¡¯t know what it was like to survive on his own in the outside world. For a person without much social relationship with others to be the sect head, he would definitely drag the sect down sooner or later. "Star Lord, perhaps I didn¡¯t notice or maybe the flying messenger sword had already reached my Jidu Immortal School. I will go back and check on it," Chi Huahai hurried to say because if he could turn back time, he would definitely not stand up and an idiot he was now. Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned ugly, "So the flying messenger sword had reached the Jidu Immortal School and you are trying to shirk responsibility by lying to me?" Cold sweat started to pour down Chi Huahai¡¯s forehead because he had never been through such a scenario. Normally if he were to meet other sect heads, all he did was simply to greet politely. "Yes...yes¡­" Chi Huahai couldn¡¯t stop sweating as he suddenly recalled the scene of that Plain Girder Sect¡¯s elder being thrown out. If he was also thrown out and not allowed back into the Piercing Wind City, it would be too huge a disgrace for him to swallow. Very soon, he realised that he was thinking too much. No, not too much but too perfect. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about him as he turned to Luo Yuchen and said, "Hall Master Luo, Jidu Immortal School even dare to lie about matters regarding the war to defend Zhen Xing. Immediately disband the Jidu Immortal School and there will no longer be such a sect in Zhen Xing. As for Chi Huahai, waste his cultivation." "Roger that!" Luo Yuchen didn¡¯t stand on any ceremony because he loved this attitude of his new Star Lord. In Zhen Xing, only the strongest expert would be able occupy the Star Lord¡¯s seat. If one was not strong enough, he would definitely be bullied by the others in Zhen Xing. "Ah¡­" Chi Huahai was completely astonished. "Star Lord, you want to disband my Jidu Immortal School?" He couldn¡¯t believe what he just heard because it was simply too ridiculous to disband a sect for a reason like this. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered with Chi Huahai because if he was a little stronger, he would have immediately obliterate the Jidu Immortal School. Without waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s answer, Luo Yuchen had already held Chi Huahai up as if he was holding a chicken. The two defenders seated beside Chi Huahai stood up in an attempt to stop Luo Yuchen but Chi Huo¡¯Er had already landed right in front of them. The two defenders sighed once again as they were certain their Jidu Immortal School would be a sect belonging to the past. The truth was that even without Star Lord Mo¡¯s decision to disband them, under the leadership of a person like Chi Huahai, Jidu Immortal School would not likely to be progress any further too. They both of them stood down because they knew that if they were to make a move here, death would be inevitable for them today. Their actions might even anger Star Lord Mo and trigger him to obliterate their Jidu Immortal School. "No, Star Lord Mo, you cannot disband my Jidu Immortal School. We have existed for thousands of years, for Zhen Xing, ah¡­" Before Chi Huahai could finish his sentence, a devastating cry was heard from outside the Universal Palace. Everyone knew that Chi Huahai¡¯s cultivation have been wasted and he was finished. At the same time, Jidu Immortal School was finished too. [1]: Being brought up in a big pool of honey is a literal translation to describe someone who is spoilt and has everything he wants or needs provided for him. Chapter 394: Climbing The Universal Board Chapter 394: Climbing The Universal Board Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Does anyone have any disagreement to the first rule?" Mo Wuji''s gaze swept downwards. Because Chi Huahai wanted to avert the responsibility despite receiving the SOS flying messenger sword, he claimed that he didn¡¯t receive it. As a result, not only was Chi Huahai¡¯s cultivation wasted, Jidu Immortal School - this millenium old sect - was easily disbanded by the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord. Just one simple sentence, and a huge sect had disappeared. One could imagine, with the disbanding of Jidu Immortal School, most of the disciples from the school were likely to transfer to Vitality Sect or the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect. When that happens, only an idiot would continue to disagree with this rule. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; he was still heavily influenced by the democratic process back on Earth. Here, strength is power. If you stood at a higher position and you viewed everyone equally, everyone would treat you as a weakling or an idiot. During this critical moment in the Star Wards, only a few sects came to show their support, demonstrating this crucial fact. "Since no one had any problems with the first rule, then I will now talk about the second rule. From now on, personal identification is required for access in and out of Piercing Wind City, and at the same time, tolls will be paid when enterring into the City. The money will go into the reconstruction of Nine Mo City and Universal Hall." If not for what had just happened, Mo Wuji¡¯s second rule would definitely have incited heated discussion from the crowd. But now, no one stood forward to express their dissatisfaction. By the side, Yan Ze was secretly praising the Star Lord. All this while, the maintenance fees of Universal Hall, Nine Mo City and Piercing Wind City had come from the incomes of Universal Hall. There was even a portion of it which came from Star King Mountain. As for the other sects in Zhen Mo Continent, they all got to receive the benefits from enterring into space, but for they have never offered even a single cent. With these two rules by the Star Lord, it would put an end to all these parasitical sects. At the same time, he would force these parasites to come out with some spirit stones to revitalise Zhen Xing. This was the real solution to improve Zhen Xing. Those simple "stitches" of Star Lord Chi were simply methods akin to destroying the east wall to gain materials to mend the west wall. Seeing that no one had any disagreements with the second rule, Mo Wuji said with slight satisfaction, "Since everyone is satisfied with the first and second rule, I will move of to the third one. When there is punishment, there is also reward. Qiao Gu, receive the order." "Yes." A middle-aged man at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5 stood forward, bowing towards Mo Wuji. He was originally the hall master of Morning Star Hall. Because he was from the Mou Clan, and because the Mou Clan had incited the new Star Lord¡¯s dissatisfaction, the Mou Clan had always maintained a low-profile ever since the Xia Clan and Yan Clan were destroyed. Not only did Qiao Gu relinquish his position as the Morning Star Hall¡¯s hall master, he even offered the Morning Star Army. It was because of that, the Mou Clan was able to survive. During the recent battle in the Star Wars, the Mou Clan had contributed largely. It could even be said that they had put their lives on the line. Now, when Mo Wuji had called for Qiao Gu to receive his orders, Qiao Gu was incomparably excited. He knew that his decision was right; the Mou Clan had managed to obtain Star Lord Mo¡¯s recognition. "Star King Mountain¡¯s tenth hall, Wu Xiang Hall, will now be disbanded. It will be changed to the Enforcement Hall. You will take on the role as the Enforcement hall Master, if anyone in Zhen Xing dares slight the orders from Star King Mountain, you will assist Luo Yuchen to raze them to the ground. At the same time, if any sect contributes to the redevelopment of Nine Mo City, or makes an impact during a battle with the foreign invaders from space, sects could be rewarded the rights to access space freely. Sects which have contributed greatly could even be considred to join the ranks of Vitality Sect and Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect, to hold the honour as a "Planet Defending Sect"." When the sects heard Mo Wuji¡¯s first sentence, their hearts tightened. If one Luo Yuchen was not enough, now there was an Enforcement Hall. As for the disbanding on Wu Xiang Hall, everyone clearly knew the reason in their hearts. It was because Star Lord Mo had an enmity with Monk Wu Xiang. Fortunately, there was a second part to Mo Wuji¡¯s words, giving a cause for relief. It meant that they still had a way out. And where was this way out? It was for the sects to truly contribute to Zhen Xing. Su Xuan and co. gasped in admiration; this was giving the donkey one carrot after whacking it with the stick many times. If the sects were constantly whacked without the stick and if they always had to be in servitude, there would be internal strife sooner of later. Now that there was an alternative path, many sects would choose to work hard to become a Planet Defending Sect, instead of choosing to revolt. Eventually, most of the sects would successfully become Planet Defending Sects, and the small group of disobedient sects would be eliminated. "Yes, Qiao Hu will carefully remember Star Lord¡¯s words." Qiao Gu¡¯s heart was filled with emotions; he truly didn¡¯t make the wrong selection. Only by giving proactively would he be able to gain something in return. He handed over his position as Morning Star Hall¡¯s hall master, and now, the position of a hall master was returned to him. Moreover, it was the role of the Enforcement Hall Master personally appointed by Star Lord Mo. "Hall Master Su, Hall Master Yan, the ten armies need to be reorganised; this matter will be left to the two of you. Hall Master Sang, you and Manager Chi will be in charge of the new identity tokens and the expenses for Nine Mo City¡¯s reconstruction. This meeting has come to an end, adjourn." When Mo Wuji announced the last few orders, he did not even bother asking for opinions; he immediately ended the meeting. But at this time, no one dared to be dissatisfied. Most of the sects that have entered Mo Wuji¡¯s blacklist were already thinking of how they could obtain contributions from Nine Mo City, earning them the title as a Planet Defending Sect. Zhen Xing which was previously riled in disorderly administration, had become a high speed machine after this meeting. Fei Chao, who was in charge Nine Mo City¡¯s reconstruction, didn¡¯t even need to find help; many large sects stepped forward and took the initiative to offer their services. Sects, which were previously not interested in enlisting into the ten armies, now continuously sent disciples to find Su Xuan and Yan Ze, requesting for the permission to enlist into the cultivator armies to fight for Zhen Xing. Su Xuan could not help but sigh with emotion; people could truly be unscrupulous at times. When Chi Tong was the Star Lord, he treated everyone with warmth and compromise. However, he did not truly inspire people to truly work hard for Zhen Xing. When it came to Star Lord Mo, he directly picked up the stick, then waved a carrot in front of them. Now, all these people come wagging their tails and offering their help. If Zhen Xing had always been so united, then would they have had to worry about foreign invaders invading Universal Hall? ¡­ After Mo Wuji delegated all the work, he called Chanse over by himself. "Young master, feel free to instruct me to do anything. Chanse will definitely help young master handle the matter well." Chanse patted his chest, indicating his loyalty towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had never doubted Chanse¡¯s loyalty. This fella was even more loyal than Chi Huo¡¯Er. After all, Chi Huo¡¯Er treated all the previous Star Lords with this attitude, but Chanse was only loyal to him. "Chanse, I have a matter which requires me to travel faraway. Help me make a trip to Lost Continent. Find the grave of Cen Shuyin¡¯s mother, revuild it, then protect it with a peak-grade defensive array. I will return to the Lost Continent soon," Mo Wuji instructed. He knew that he would not stay in Zhen Xing for long, thus, he intended to use this time to raze Wolf King Mountain to the fround. As long as there was still the Wolf King Mountain, the space beast hordes would continue to concentrate at an increasing rate. Even though they might be lacking in cultivation resources, they were vastly superior in numbers. Only by destroying Wolf King Mountain, the foundations of the space beasts would be lost. Gradually, the space beasts would be oppressed by Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators. "Yes, Young Master. Chanse will definitely handle this matter to the best of my ability." To Chanse, he was only afraid that Mo Wuji did not leave anything for him to do. If he was provided with work, it would mean that his young master still values him. Mo Wuji retrieved a flying sword and handed it over to Chanse, "Chanse, this flying sword is inscribed with my spiritual will. If you encountered anything urgent, you can first send this to Universal Hall, then Universal Hall will send it over to me." Chanse carefully kept the flying sword, entering into the transfer array at Universal Plaza and headed off to Lost Continent. ¡­ After Mo Wuji¡¯s meeting, the sect heads and elders of various sects self-consciously left Universal Hall. To them, it was now more important to obtain the recognition of Star King Mountain, and become a Planet Defending Sect of Zhen Xing. The various departments in Universal Hall worked in a flurry, implementing the new rules and systems of Universal Hall. Universal Plaza was now empty, looking cold and distant. Mo Wuji stood in front of the Universal Board, emotions raced in his heart. Previously, he promised the elderly fisherman that he would obtain Rank 1 on the Universal Board. The fisherman gave him a time limit of 100 years, but now, it hadn¡¯t even been 10 years but he had already achieved that promise. The peak of the Universal Board still could not be seen. Names extended outwards, looking like a three dimensional plaque. Mo Wuji firmed his heart, approaching the Universal Board. When he first got close to the Universal Board, a strong force of repulsion caused him to be unable to get any closer. In this second attempt, this force was not any weaker. However, compared to the first time, he was able to continue moving forward. In half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji was already by the side of the Universal Board. If he extended his hand, he could touch the last name on the Unviersal Board. Mo Wuji¡¯s two feet trembled slightly, and with a light jump, he landed on top of the last name. Before he could even stand firmly, a violent pressure came bounding towards him. Luckily, Mo Wuji had the experience of climbing the Heaven Seeking Staircase. With the activation of his spiritual will and elemental energy, he easily jumped onto the second last name. At the very beginning, Mo Wuji still wasn¡¯t used to the increasing pressure. But after he climbed four to five names, he was gradually accustomed to the pressure. Even though the power of the pressure increasingly got stronger, Mo Wuji actually climbed faster and faster. In merely 2 hours, Mo Wuji had already climbed 992 names. On top of him, including his own name, were merely eight names. ¡­ At the same time, a gorgeous girl with white hair suddenly appeared in the space outside Zhen Xing. She grabbed an exquisite spatial positioning ball in her hand, and after examining it for a while, she muttered to herself, "That¡¯s right. This place should be Zhen Xing. That Universal Board should be here. First, I will go to Universal Hall to get myself a universal token. Then, I will obtain Rank 1 in the Universal Board, then I can get the Universal Peak Token. After that, I will go to Lost Continent and get the Heaven Seeking Token¡­" Seemingly very satisfied with her plan, she carefully kept her exquisite spatial positioning ball. Her figure flashed and she disappeared. ¡­ It was already his 997th name. Mo Wuji was starting to feel the fatigue. This pressure did not seem to shatter his bones, but with every name he scaled, the force he felt rose incrementally. It was a little hard for him to bear. If not for his elemental storage channels, his violet elemental lake, and his spirit storage channel, he would not have even climbed so far. Including his own name, there were three names left. Time to push yourself. Chapter 395: Came Too Late Chapter 395: Came Too Late Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations 998th, 999th¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was trembling. He had never experienced this sort of pressure; it wouldn¡¯t let him get injured but it felt like it was continuously sapping away his energy. The elemental energy from his elemental storage channels and the vast violet elemental lake in his sea of consciousness was almost completely depleted. As Mo Wuji stood atop the 999th name, he panted heavily. His entire body felt sore, and his spiritual will was dwindling; he did not beleive that he was able to reach the top of the Universal Board. Mo Wuji tried taking some pills to recover his elemental energy, but the elemental energy from the pills were rapidly depleted. Moreover, there wasn¡¯t even a hint of spiritual energy in the surroundings, so he couldn¡¯t even use his reverse circulation technique. He lifted his head and saw the name at the apex of the board; it was his own name. Mo Wuji still decided to give it a go; he grudgingly stood back up, lifting his hands to grab his own name. But before he could even exert any strength, a suction force pulled him up to the top. Even Mo Wuji was a little dazed; he soon came to a realisation why the fisherman said that he needed to obtain Rank 1 in order to get the Universal Peak Token. Even with his power and vast elemental energy stores, he was still fully exhausted when he reaached the 999th name. If it was someone else, they wouldn¡¯t even have a bit of elemental energy left. That meant to say, without any help, it was impossible for anyone to reach the name at the top. Only by obtaining Rank 1, he would be able to gain help on the 999th name. Perhaps this was some sort of rule, just like how there could only be 9,999,999 points recorded in his universal token. The top of the Universal Board was empty and sparse. In the center, there was a green jade token floating 1 meter above the air; this jade token was about the size of a palm. Mo Wuji extended his hand to grab the jade token; a warm feeling immediately flooded into his hand, giving a sense of comfort. There were only three words on this green jade token: Universal Peak Token. Just as Mo Wuji held the jade token in his hand, he heard a light crack above his head, as though something had been shattered. Suddenly, in the blurry and hazy peak of the Universal Board, the vast space appeared. Mo Wuji was startled; with just one step, he could enter into space. However, a strong pressure came surging over, forcing him onto the Unversal Board. Following which, boundless spiritual energy flooded over; this boundless spiritual energy enveloped Mo Wuji. Every inch of Mo Wuji¡¯s soul seemed to be ignited. He had never experienced such inundating spiritual energy. However, this spiritual energy was rather familiar, it was the same as the spiritual energy from the spirit stone slags he obtained from Half Moon Immortal Palace. The only difference was, this wave of spiritual energy was purer, and richer. If the spirit stone slag was a drop of water which could only be enjoyed in small bits, then this spiritual energy was a huge plate. Not only could he drink from it at any time, he could even bathe in it. If he wasted this opportunity, then he wouldn¡¯t be Mo Wuji. In Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, he even started to look down on that fisherman. If that fella had told him that there was such terrifying spiritual energy here, then they wouldn¡¯t even need to engage in any sort of trade, he would take the initiative to find this Universal Peak Token, 106 meridians were rapidly reverse circulating. Mo Wuji¡¯s depleted elemental energy was instantly replenished. At the same time, his power was rapidly rising. From the start of his cultivation to now, Mo Wuji had never experience such a meteoric expansion of power. In just one day, he advanced from Worldly Immortal Stage level 2 to Level 3. On the fourth day, he broke through Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3 and stepped into Level 4. Unfortunately, that terrifying spiritual energy had dispersed into thin air. Mo Wuji subconsciously licked his lips. Four days ago, he was still in the elementary stages of the Worldly Immortal Stage. Four days later, he had actually reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4; he was now a true cultivator at the intermediate stages of the Worldly Immortal Stage. If he did not experience this himself, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have believed that this would happen. From the looks of it, this Universal Board also wasn¡¯t something from this world. Otherwise, where would such terrifying spiritual energy come from? Since he was unable to step into the vast space from the top of the Universal Board, Mo Wuji reluctantly descended from the Universal Board. Half an incense¡¯s time alter, he had already left from Universal Pier, heading towards Wolf King Mountain. When he was originally in Worldly Immortal Stage Level 2, Mo Wuji had even made plans for retreat at any moment. The moment he encountered the Great Circle of Class 9 Space Wolf King, it would truly be impossible to emerge victorious. Now that he had entered into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he could be considered to be in the intermediate stages. Even if he couldn¡¯t beat that Space Wolf King, he should at least be an equal match, right? ¡­ The day after Mo Wuji left Universal Hall, a white-haired girl appeared at the Universal Plaza in front of the Universal Board. Not only that, a new universal identity token was hung at her waist. "Universal Board¡¯s Rank 1¡­ Mo Wuji, this person is the Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord¡­" The white-haired girl seemed to be very well-informed. She muttered to herself, then suddenly, she suddenly cried, "Not good." When she was thinking of how to get a universal token, she investigated on the matters regarding Zhen Xing. The strongest expert in Zhen Xing was Mo Wuji, a young Star Lord. If this fella had obtained Rank 1, then would that thing on top of the Universal Board still be up there? Anxiety emerged in this white-haired girl¡¯s eyes. She lifted her hand and fetched out a talisman from her storage ring. That talisman instantly ignited, forming two lines of spiritual energy which shrouded her eyes. The hazy scene on top of the Universal Board necame clear to her. At the top of the Universal Board, the vast universe could be seen. But on the Universal Board, there wasn¡¯t even a silhouette of the Universal Peak Token. The Universal Peak Token had actually been taken. The white-haired girl clenched her fists, concentrated killing intent flashed across her eyes. If the Universal Peak Token had already been taken, then she wouldn¡¯t even need to check the Heaven Seeking Token; it would definitely be taken as well. Immediately, she arrived at the third floor of the Universal Pier. The guard at the third floor of the Universal Pier was a cultivator at the elementary stage of True God Stage. He recognised this white-haired girl. When she entered, she even talked to him for awhile. For such a beautiful girl, even if he wanted, he wouldn¡¯t be able to forget her. Moreover, he even knew that this white-haired girl had a peculiat name, Nai He. If he wasn¡¯t paying attention, he might have even thought that her name was Nai He. [1] "Junior He, you just returned from space, and now you¡¯re going again?" The guard at the pier chuckled, greeting in an overly familiar tone. The white-haired girl revealed an incredibly beautiful smile. Even without speaking, she would be able to illicit good feelings from anyone who saw her. "Big Brother Lu, I have always admired the Star Lord. Originally, I was thinking of paying respects to the Star Lord at Star King Mountain. However, I heard that the Star Lord was no longer here. Thus, I¡¯m contemplating whether I should head out to space or stay here in the Universal Hall." "Haha, you wouldn¡¯t be able to see the Star Lord for the timebeing. One day ago, the Star Lord just entered into space. I guess that he wouldn¡¯t return for at least a few months," The cultivator with surname ¡®Lu¡¯ chortled. The white-haired girl never expected that she would get information of Mo Wuji with just a simple conversation. She celebrated heavily in her heart as she continued to say with a smile, "Then I will forget about it. I think I will take a small trip in space. Oh right, do you know where the Star Lord went off to?" Cultivator Lu did not think too much of it, shaking his head, he said, "The Star Lord¡¯s cultivation is exceedingly high. No one knows where he wants to go. However, now that the foreign invaders have been defeated by our Zhen Xing, it will be very safe no matter in Zhen Xing or i sapce." The white-haired girl casually asked a few more questions before rushing out of Universal Pier into space. The Universal Peak Token and and the Heaven Seeking Token had been taken by that Mo Wuji. Now, her task at hand wasn¡¯t to be the Rank 1 in the Universal Board, but to find that Mo Wuji. To her, this was actually a simpler task. ¡­ In a canyon billions of miles from Zhen Xing, a cry of shock could be heard. This cry of shock broke the silence in the canyon. The one who uttered this cry was a handsome youth. "Bian Shuangbi, what matter could leave you in such astonishment? Don¡¯t tell me that fella we were discussing about a few years ago really surpassed you, and became the Rank 1 in the Universal Board?" The one speaking was a man with a long beard. He spoke with a tone of banter, clearly, he didn¡¯t really think that it was possible for someone to surpass Bian Shuangbi in terms of contribution points. "That¡¯s definitely impossible. If I¡¯m not wrong, Bian Shuangbi¡¯s contribution points should number in the eight millions, right? It¡¯s more than a single fold than you, Mu Yingqiao." Another person replied to the long bearded man. Seeing that the handsome youth had remained silent, the long beared man, Mu Yingqiao, said again, "Bian Shuangbi, it¡¯s not possible that you have been overtaken in space contribution points, right?" The handsome youth called Bian Shuangbi nodded, "That¡¯s right, I was indeed surpassed in the Universal Board. I¡¯m now in Rank 2." "Ah¡­" Mu Yingqiao exclaimed in shock. After some time, he muttered to himself, "That¡¯s impossible ah. 8 million points. Don¡¯t tell me, he killed billions of foreign cultivators?" "Heng." From a corner in the distance, a cold snort could be heard, clearly dissatisfied with Mu Yingqiao¡¯s words. No one paid heed to the fella that snorted because everyone knew that fella was the Gu Nuo Great Circle of Earthly Immortal Stage exper, Freitz. This canyon wasn¡¯t very big, the distance between the Gu Nuo and Zhen Xing experts was merely a small gutter. In all these years, everyone had fought before, everyone had quarreled before, but they couldn¡¯t do anything to each other here. Now, they were all trapped in this canyon in space. If they continued to fight, they would only be worsening their misery. After some time Bian Shuangbi said, "The Universal Board isn¡¯t a treasure from Zhen Xing. The contribution points cannot be fabricated. This person who snatched my Rank 1, might be a hitherto unseen genius." "When the time comes, I¡¯m even unwilling for him to come here. This sort of genius, should be breaking through the void¡­" Mu Yingqiao sighed and said. "Someone¡¯s coming." Bian Shuangbi¡¯s interrupted Mu Yingqiao¡¯s words as he stood up. The other people in the canyon also stood up. Over the past thousands of years, no one had come before. But now, someone had really came. A big sturdy figure landed inside. "Boom!" The huge figure crashed against the ground of the canyon, sending a thunderous cry into this tiny canyon. The Gu Nuo Earthly Immortal Freitz suddenly said to a short girl near him, "Black Fox, I think he¡¯s from your Wolf King Mountain." [1] The 2 He¡¯s have different pronunciation. Nai He in the second context could mean ¡®Hello¡¯ or ¡®How?¡¯ Chapter 396: Wolf King Mountain Chapter 396: Wolf King Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "It¡¯s a little b*stard from Wolf King Mountain," Mu Yingqiao said softly. That black skinned girl called Black Fox by Freitz stood up. She stared coldly at Mu Yingqiao, "Mu Yingqiao, you better be more polite when you speak. Don¡¯t offend this old lady." Mu Yingqiao said in a nonchalent and carefree manner, "So what if I offend you? I, Mu Yingqiao, have been here for thousands of years. If you dare, come bite me ah." Even though the relationships were tense, everyone in the canyon knew that they definitely couldn¡¯t fight with one another. The spiritual energy here was sparse, it was already hard to survive. Who would be so bored to waste their energy in a meaningless battle? "I¡¯m truly unable to bite you. But now, hand over your Zhen Xing¡¯s outermost piece of land." Black Fox was not angry, but she maintained her icy cold tone. The few cultivators from Zhen Xing turned to look at Bian Shuangbi. Bian Shuangbi sighed inwardly, but he did not hesitate to instruct the cultivator sitting at the extreme corner, "Chuanhe, give that piece of land to them." That cultivator called Chuanhe looked like a space nomad. He had an incredibly ordinary looking appearance, and he did not seem to care much about his appearance. After he heard Bian Shuangbi¡¯s words, he sighed. However, he did not say much, but stood up and walked inwards. The Zhen Xing cultivators, in their already tight space, cramped among themselves to come up with an extra space. No one felt that Bian Shuangbi¡¯s actions were wrong. Because Lou Chuanhe¡¯s space originally belonged to Wolf King Mountain. It was just that with Lou Chuanhe¡¯s arrival, Zhen Xing¡¯s power became stronger, and they forcefully snatched that spot from the Wolf King Mountain. Now that someone from Wolf King Mountain had arrived, they were not actually giving up a spot, but returning it. If they did not give up, then there would definitely be a battle here. The three factions were originally quite balanced. Now that there¡¯s an additional person from Wolf King Mountain, this balance was broken. Thus, returning this spot was the best solution. The person who landed in this space canyon was a big and sturdy man with a head full of red hair. As he descended, he immediately saw the ten over people deep in the canyon. He soon discovered in surprise that everyone here was no weaker than him. There were even some who exuded a concentrated aura of spirituality, clearly much stronger than him. Then, he noticed Black Fox and cried out in astonishment, "You¡¯re Lord Black Fox?" The short and black skinned woman faintly nodded, "I¡¯ve already gotten a place for you. Come sit down, this is your place from now on." Sit down in this cramped canyon? And that was his place from now on? Cang Xue was a little dumbfounded. He was the dignified Wolf King of the latest generation, how could this tiny place be his future cultivation spot? He frowned and extended his spiritual will outwards. Soon, he was rooted in shock; his spiritual will could only circle within his body, it wasn¡¯t able to come out. He immediately lifted his feet and tried to step out of the canyon. However, his feet was only able to move by a little more than a meter. Whether it was elemental energy or spiritual will, it was a luxury here. Cang Xue¡¯s black face turned white. He seemed to understand the meaning behind Lord Black Fox¡¯s words. Once he entered this canyon, he would be unable to leave. Black Fox said coldly, "Don¡¯t disgrace yourself there. We can only enter, and we can¡¯t leave. We all only have this plot of land and some spiritual energy, it¡¯s enough for you to maintain your spiritual will and protect your longevity." This was also the reason why everyone was at peace with one another. This canyon was only this big, if they truly engaged in a huge battle here, there wouldn¡¯t even be any space left for those who survived. Cang Xue soon came to an understanding, his pale face became even more pale. He suddenly understood why no one was able to break through the void. Everyone was actually locked in such a place. Had he also walked in the same path as these seniors? He just felt the euphoric sensation of breaking through the void; he would never have thought that he would have landed in this unescapable space canyon. "Is there an expert from Zhen Xing who killed billions of space beasts and Gu Nuo cultivators? He even attained Rank 1 in the Universal Board?¡¯ Black Fox couldn¡¯t be bothered about the feelings running through Cang Xue¡¯s head. She started to inquire about the matter that Bian Shuangbi and co. were talking about. She also wanted to know who was this newcomer who killed bullions of space beasts and attained Rank 1 on the Universal Board. "There¡¯s such a person?" Hearing these questions, Cang Xue was momentarily sent into shock. He had left Wolf King Mountain; at the start, it was to find Mo Wuji¡¯s whereabouts. Eventually, he wasn¡¯t able to locate Mo Wuji. Thus, he returned back to the Star Wars Battlefield and helped Gu Nuo and the space beasts occupy Universal Hall. Right when he was about to enter Zhen Xing and fully eradicate the beings in Zhen Xing, his beasts in Wolf King Mountain received a piece of news: A Ginseng King had appeared in space. Furthermore, this was a Ginseng King which could form an illusory human body. Now that there was a Ginseng King which could form an illusory human body, how could Cang Xue give up on this opportunity? He did not hesitate to leave Zhen Xing and chase after this strain of Ginseng King. Not long later, this Ginseng King had been captured by him. But before he could enjoy this Ginseng King, he saw a soaring, glowing light. "That¡¯s right. Unless you¡¯re not from Wolf King Mountain? I see that you have the blood of the Wolf King, logically, you should the current Wolf King of Wolf King Mountain. How can you not know of this matter?" Black Fox¡¯s black face turned even blacker. She believed that Bian Shuangbi and co. would not lie about such matters. If the Wolf King didn¡¯t even know about such matters, then he was a trashy Wolf King. Cang Xue hurriedly said, "That¡¯s impossible. If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, Zhen Xing should have already been occupied by the coalition between my Wolf King Mountain and the Gu Nuo Star Tribe." "Bullshit." Lou Chuanhe stood up in anger. He was once the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, and the protection of Zhen Xing had always been the duty of Star King Mountain. Now someone said that Zhen Xing had been occupied by foreign invaders, what else could those words be besides bullshit? Bian Shuangbi waved his hands, "Chuanhe, don¡¯t care too much about his words. If Zhen Xing was really occupied by the foreign invaders, then the Universal Board¡¯s Rank 1 wouldn¡¯t have appeared." Lou Chuanhe nodded; he believed that Zhen Xing definitely wouldn¡¯t have been occupied. Bian Shuangbi was right, if Zhen Xing was occupied, then where would this Rank 1 have come from? Moreover, Universal pier was famed for being hard to penetrate. He didn¡¯t believe that anyone could have breached the Universal Pier. Cang Xue suddenly seemed to recall something. His face changed drastically as he furiously tried to escape. Unfortunately, in this place, once you entered, you can forget about leaving. Even Black Fox couldn¡¯t be bothered to ask any further, but closed her eyes and meditated. ¡­ Mo Wuji stopped outside of a huge planet. This planet floated within space, from far, it looked like a huge mountain. This caused Mo Wuji to sigh in astonishment; the vast cosmos was truly filled with mysteries. One of the facts he was definite about was that planets were typically round. Even if a planet wasn¡¯t a perfect sphere, it was still spherical. However, this planet was a huge mountain. Or alternatively, from afar, this mountain looked like a planet in space. Ostensibly, this mountain was gigantic. According to his spatial positioning ball, this giant mountain should be Wolf King Mountain. Even before he got close, he could feel the surging spiritual energy. No wonder why there seemed to be uncountable amounts of space beasts; this place was simplya hot bed. His spiritual will swept across Wolf King Mountain. Except for the boundless spiritual energy, Wolf King Mountain was just like an ordinary planet. However, there were only a few space beasts in Wolf King Mountain. It wasn¡¯t filled to the brim with beasts as he had expected. However, this did not come as a surprise to Mo Wuji. After that Niu Man escaped, he must have returned back here. As long as they Niu Man wasn¡¯t retarded, he would know that Zhen Xing would never let go of Wolf King Mountain. It was only logical for him to move away the space beasts on Wolf King Mountain. Staring at Wolf King Mountain for a whole hour, Mo Wuji could only sigh in his heart. Before he arrived, he had decided to raze this place to the ground. However, this Wolf King Mountain was truly too big; it was actually a planet. With his abilities at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, how long would it take for him to destroy this place? As for his laser cannons, Mo uji did not intend to use them. Even if he took out his biggest laser cannon, it wouldn¡¯t be enough to destroy Wolf King Mountain. Unless he was willing to take out tens of his cannon ammunition and fire them simultaneously. However, this idea was immediately cast away by Mo Wuji. To waste all his ammunition on Wolf King Mountain, he wasn¡¯t that stupid. If he wanted to install a destrutive array to Wolf King Mountain, it would also take a long time. With his current ability and speed, he would take at least one and a half years to finish the array. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows; he could not think of a better way to destroy Wolf King Mountain. As this moment, a flying ship whizzed by. At the start, Mo Wuji did not think too much about it. Soon, Mo Wuji found that this flying ship was heading towards Wolf King Mountain. Indeed, at the next instant, that ship passed by him. However, after a few breaths time, that flying ship reversed and landed not far from Mo Wuji. Keeping the flying ship, a gorgeous girl with white hair walked out. Mo Wuji had long been used to seeing beauties, and he even had the irreplacable Cen Shuyin in his heart. Even though this white-haired girl was beautiful, he did not think too much about it. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" The white-haired girl walked in front of Mo Wuji and asked coldly. Mo Wuji frowned, "This is space. Anyone can stop here." After the white-haired girl sized Mo Wuji up, she said, "The beasts of Wolf King Mountain killed by senior. I want to kill these animals and destroy this place. Maky way." Mo Wuji did not hesitate and took a few steps backwards. He could faintly feel that this white-haired girl was a little peculiar. He had opened 106 meridians and had a cultivation at Worldly Immortla Stage Level 4. Even if a cultivator at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage was in front of him, he would still be able to see through the other party¡¯s cultivaion. However, this white-haired girl seemed very strange to him. She clearly looked like she was only at the advanced stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage. However, she gave him a feeling worse than Zhu Qu. Zhu Qu¡¯s true power was already equivalent to the advanced stages of the Earthly Immortal Stage. If this girl was more terrifying than the advanced Earthly Immortal Stage, then could she be in the Great Circle, or even at a level higher than the Earthly Immortal Stage? "Wait.. Are you staying here because you belong to Wolf King Mountain? As long as you¡¯re from Wolf King Mountain, I will not let go of you." The white-haired girl shouted and spoke fiercely towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had a premonition; this girl seemed to be intentionally picking a fight with him. Chapter 397: The Violent White-Haired Girl Chapter 397: The Violent White-Haired Girl Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "No." As Mo Wuji spoke, his figure shook and he had already disappeared using the Wind Escape Technique. This white-haired girl loudly claimed that she wanted to take revenge, but there did not even seem to be a tinge of hatred in her eyes, she actually seemed more interested in him. In that short time, many thoughts had already ran through Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. He even thought, if he showed interest in this girl, would he be able to leave her bewildered, then he could suddenly attack? However, he couldn¡¯t even see through this girl¡¯s power, it was better not to tangle up with her. After responding, Mo Wuji immediately disappeared. "Eh!" The white-haired girl exclaimed in surprise. Just as Mo Wuji left, the shadow of her hand had just grabbed his original location. Mo Wuji had actually instantly disappeared before her hand could reach him. So it was truly like that, Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. He was sure that this young girl¡¯s power was more than Zhu Qu. Fortunately, he had just entered into the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage; he wasn¡¯t the same Mo Wuji of the past. Because of the other party¡¯s sudden attack, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed once more, distancing himself from this white-haired girl. The white-haired girl¡¯s heart sunk, she never expected that the hand shadow she was quite certain of was actually unable to grab Mo Wuji. This man could actually be Rank 1 on the Universal Board, he indeed had his own tricks. Seeing that Mo Wuji was now on alert and had distanced himself from her, this white-haired girl knew that it would be a little harder to catch this slippery fella. "If you¡¯re not from Wolf King Mountain, then why are you running?" The white-haired girl shouted out angrily, as though she wasn¡¯t the one who tried to ambush Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji was the one who ambushed her. Mo Wuji looked at the white-haired girl, saying with an indifferent expression, "I suspect that you¡¯re the one from Wolf King Mountain. Otherwise, why would you act against me? If you¡¯re truly capable, then why don¡¯t you destroy Wolf King Mountain. Maybe I will believe you then." "Open up your eyes big and see." With that, the white-haired girl suddenly held a fire-red talisman. After forming a few hand seals, she threw it out. The talisman was like a flaming arrow, instantly whizzing towards Wolf King Mountain. In just a few breaths time, roars of explosions could be seen on Wolf King Mountain. Mo Wuji stared at Wolf King Mountain which now looked like a shattered egg, his face was utterly blank. This talisman was too terrifying, it could actually destroy a planet. This girl was too strong. Even though it pained her heart to use that talisman, she had managed to destroy Wolf King Mountain. That little brat should believe that she had an enmity with Wolf King Mountain now, right? But when she turned her head, she was instantly sent into infuriation. When she was destroying Wolf King Mountain, Mo Wuji had used that opportunity to run away. ¡­ Facing this terrifying white-haired girl, Mo Wuji knew that a flying ship wouldn¡¯t be able to help him. He furiously used his Wind Escape Technique, but he soon caught a faint glimpse of that white-haired girl with his spiritual will. That girl¡¯s speed seemed to be even faster than his Wind Escape Technique. This really left Mo Wuji feeling rather helpless. In space, his Wind Escape Technique was really at a disadvantage. It required him to form his own gentle breeze before he could use it; he could not depend on natural winds. If this carried on, in less than half a day, he would be caught by that girl. Mo Wuji immediately stopped using his Wind Escape Technique and started to use teleportation, teleporting in a direction away from Zhen Xing. If he brought this devilish girl to Zhen Xing, it would be similar to bring a calamity. That terrifying talisman, perhaps two to three of it would be enough to send Zhen Xing crumbling. An hour later, Mo Wuji knew that not only was this girl stronger than Zhu Qu, she was stronger by more than one to two points. Previously, he had also used spatial teleportation to escape from Zhu Qu. He was even carrying Nong Shuyi with him. Just like that, he was able to shake Zhu Qu off after a day. Now, he wasn¡¯t carrying anyone, and he had already advanced into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, his teleportation speed could no longer be compared to the past. But still, he wasn¡¯t able to get rid of that persistent white-haired girl. That white-haired girl seemed to have a deep seeded hatred towards him, even after chasing him for an entire day, she did not seem to have any intentions of giving up. Mo Wuji even started to consider engaging in battle. Even though he had three elemental storage channels and a spirit storage channel, he couldn¡¯t continue to run from this woman for long. Along the way, Mo Wuji started to absorb his spirit pith stone mushrooms. With his current level of power, these spirit pith stone mushrooms weren¡¯t able to help him improve his cultivation by much. However, it was still possible for them to help replenish his elemental energy. Months passed, and they continued to play this police and thief game. The white-haired girl was getting increasingly depressed. She could tell that Mo Wuji¡¯s teleportation could not even be considered a feather in the grand dao of space. However, she was still unable to catch up to him, and she was not even able to use this feather-like teleportation. What left her even more depressed was, no matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he was merely an ant. Why did it seem like he had an endless amount of elemental energy? She was very clear that even if Mo Wuji had spirit stones to replenish his elemental energy, she would still be able to catch up to him eventually. However, over these past few months, she wasn¡¯t able to shorten the distance between Mo Wuji and herself The more she thought about it, the more the white-haired girl felt depressed. If not for her abilities being restrained by the laws of Heaven and Earth, she would have caught this ant in a single step, and she could just pinch this ant to death. But now, she could only continue to chase after this ant. On the other hand, Mo Wuji got more and more anxious. He was very clear of his current predicament. Over the past few months, even though the gap between him and that white-haired girl didn¡¯t decrease, he knew that he could not continue this for long. It was true that he could replenish his elemental energy with the spirit pith stone mushrooms, but his rate of depletion was more than his rate of replenishment. Moreover, he was also running out of spirit pith stone mushrooms. The moment he ran out of spirit pith stone mushrooms, the help that spirit stones could provide him would be too inferior. In less than a month, the elemental energy in his elemental storage channels would also be used up. That would be when he dies. Indeed, it did not even take a month. In merely half a month, that white-haired girl had gotten closer and closer to Mo Wuji. In her spiritual will, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure got clearer and clearer. That white-haired girl sneered in her heart: You thought you could escape? Mo Wuji slowed down his speed, no longer spending any elemental energy from his elemental storage channel. He knew that there was no use in running, he could only fight to the death. Suddenly, a bright, glowing light appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. In that glowing light, Mo Wuji felt a sense of desire. It seemed to contain the dao halos of a higher realm; that dao halo left his entire body feeling relaxed. An indescribably feeling flooded Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. He even had the thought that this glowing light was the void breaking light. This light had descended down from an even higher dimension; it was the light that led Great Circle Earthly Immortals to break through the void. Could it be that my powers are so hardcore? Even at the Worldly Immortal Stage, I could sense the soaring light which could help break through the void? This was not impossible. After all, even though his level was merely at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, his true prowess was at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. Whether this light appeared due to personal power or due to cultivation level, Mo Wuji did not have the time to consider such questions. He did not hesitate to pounce towards this glowing light. If it was during an ordinary situation, he might actually take the time to contemplate whether there was anything wrong with this glowing light. But, now, if he slowed down, he would be immediately caught by that white-haired girl. Even though he hadn¡¯t actually fought with the white-haired girl, he knew that he definitely wasn¡¯t her match. "Phoom!" A strong suction power whirled. By this time, even if Mo Wuji wanted to escape, he couldn¡¯t do so. He could only follow the suction of this whirlpool. This definitely wasn¡¯t breaking the void; Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. His mind went into overdrive, trying to find a way to escape this. "Boom!" Before long, Mo Wuji¡¯s two feet had already landed on a solid ground. Even though Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to come up with an idea, he still immediately left where his spot and started to look around. Soon, Mo Wuji discovered that not faraway, there was a small canyon. In that tiny space, there were actually more than ten people cramped inside. All these people were looking at him, seemingly waiting for him to speak. Feeling that all these fellas were very strong, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t walk over, but tried to turn and leave. However, he quickly found that his spiritual will and elemental energy seemed to be sealed here. In that instant, Mo Wuji came to a shocking realisation. No wonder why those ten over people were cramping themselves in that tiny canyon. Here, they couldn¡¯t use their elemental energy, nor their spiritual will. "Boom!" Another roar broke the silence. Mo Wuji immediately positioned himself in an advantageous spot. He was very clear, that white-haired girl had arrived. Compared to previously, Mo Wuji was much more bold. At least he still had his three elemental storage channels and a spirit storage channel. Even though he could not condense any elemental energy, the elemental energy in his elemental storage channel could still be used. "Aren¡¯t you very good at running? Continue to run ah." That white-haired girl¡¯s gaze swept across those ten over people in the canyon, then towards Mo Wuji. At the same time, she walked towards Mo Wuji one step at a time. This canyon was so small, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. Everyone in the canyon finally understood this situation; these two fellas were in a chase and they ended up here. After understanding this, no one was interested to talk. Mo Wuji did not bother about this white-haired girl as he pounced forward with his hand clenched into a fist. He did not believe that this white-haired girl was like him, to also possess elemental storage channels. "Courting death!" The white-haired girl laughed coldly, jumping up with both her feet, and at the same time, opening both her hands. Instantly, her face went pale. She discovered that she could not use elemental energy here. Not only that, she couldn¡¯t attack Mo Wuji with her spiritual will. "Boom! Kacha!" Mo Wuji¡¯s fist landed squarely at this white-haired girl¡¯s thigh. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy was almost depleted, this fist still held 10% of his power. A painful sound of bone shattering could be heard. All the ten over people in the canyon stood up. All of them were at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage, how could they not know that Mo Wuji had just used elemental energy? In this place, one could still use elemental energy? "You¡­" The white-haired girl sat paralysed on the floor, pointing at Mo Wuji in shock. She could not release her spiritual will, and her elemental energy had been sealed. Why was Mo Wuji able to use elemental energy against her? Translator''s Thoughts Sparrow Translations Sparrow Translations Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Can''t get enough of Immortal Mortal?

Chapter 398: Challenging The Wolf King Chapter 398: Challenging The Wolf King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You what you?" Mo Wuji said fiercely. "This old man had no relations to you but you chased after me for months. Today, this old man will pay this all back with interest." As he spoke, Mo Wuji threw out another punch. This punch was headed towards the white-haired girl¡¯s core dantian. He had decided to destroy this girl¡¯s spirit channels before he forced answers out of her. Fear emerged in this white-haired girl¡¯s eyes, and with a quick swipe, she retrieved a talisman from her ring. The talisman instantly activated, sweeping up a beam of blinding white light. Within the white light, this white-haired girl sighed; she knew that her mission had failed. It was so hard for her to reach this part of space but now she needed to break through the void to return. If she wanted to come back again, it wouldn¡¯t be so easy. A mission that shouldn¡¯t be failed, had actually been failed. Fortunately, she could still circle her spiritual will within her body, allowing her to activate her talisman. Otherwise, she might have lost her little life here. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s punch was even more violent than before, directly blowing up a huge pit at where that white-haired girl was. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a half bit happy. When he threw out that punch, he could tell that the white-haired girl had escaped using a talisman. Indeed, there was nothing in that giant pit. The scene where that white-haired girl escaped using a talisman was witnessed by almost everyone here. The original ten people were staring in shock. If they could casually leave like that, they would have left a long time ago. "How did she leave?" A cultivator asked in shock. However, no one answered him because no one knew the answerr. "This dao friend, may I ask whether you know who that person who just left with a talisman was?" Mu Yingqiao clasped his fists and asked from afar. Even though Mo Wuji looked like an ordinary mortal, no one dared to treat him like so. Even more so, no one dared to walk out and stand in front of Mo Wuji. An ordinary mortal was able to injure a person who could leave this space canyon? An ordinary mortal could use elemental energy here? "I don¡¯t know that too." Mo Wuji replied simply, sweeping his gaze across Mu Yingqing. Thereafter, it landed on Cang Xue. He was rather familiar with this big and sturdy red-haired man; he gave off the same aura as that Cang Jue. "You are Mo Wuji?" Cang Xue immediately recognised Mo Wuji. Even though he hadn¡¯t met Mo Wuji personally, he had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s image. After all, he was chasing after Mo Wuji, so now that Mo Wuji was right in front of him, how could he not recognise Mo Wuji? "You¡¯re that supposed Space Wolf King, right? I heard that after I killed that white-eyed b*stard wolf of yours, you were looking everywhere to kill me?" Mo Wuji extended his hand and Tian Ji Pole appeared. His level had already reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he really wanted to try his hand at this Space Wolf King. The Space Wolf King, who had always been pursuing Mo Wuji, started to have some hesitations. He just saw that Mo Wuji was still able to use his elemental energy here. If Mo Wuji was able to force him out of this small canyon, then he could only wait for his death. As for Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation, he did not even think about it. Being able to enter here meant that Mo Wuji definitely was a Great Circle Earthly Immortal. Lord Black Fox had said before, only Great Circle Earthly Immortals could touch that soaring, glowing light. "Mo Wuji, are you the Rank 1 of the Universal Board?" Black Fox suddenly stood in front of Cang Xue and asked. Hearing Black Fox¡¯s question, Zhen Xing¡¯s Bian Shuangbi, Mu Yingqiao, Lou Chuanhe and co. all stared at Mo Wuji. Clearly, they were all interested to know whether Mo Wuji was the Rank 1. When Mo Wuji heard this question, he instantly frowned. Everyone in Zhen Xing should know that he was Rank 1 on the Universal Board, but it couldn¡¯t have reached here right? After all, he took close to a year of constant teleportation to get to this place. Whose information network was so strong? Looking at these people, he knew that they were not trapped here for merely one or two days. "Then who are you?" Mo Wuji stared at this short, black skinned girl, his voice holding a tinge of precaution. He wasn¡¯t a newbie, with just a simple glance in the canyon, he could tell that there were different factions within the ten over people inside. "Wolf King Mountain¡¯s Black Fox?" Black Fox said faintly, her tone containing a hint of valiance. "Wolf King Mountain ah, I absolutely hate that place. I¡¯m not answering you." Mo Wuji chose to reject Black Fox¡¯s question. He also started to be more cautious; he wouldn¡¯t fear the Wolf King alone, but if Black Fox was added into the mix, then things were going to get troublesome. "Dao Friend Mo, I¡¯m Bian Shuangbi. If you¡¯re a cultivator from Zhen Xing, you can come over to our side." Bian Shuangbi also stood up, clasping his fists towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji glanced at Bian Shuangbi¡¯s spot and shook his head. That place was too small, going there would only be torturing himself. Moreover, he was not used to sitting near strangers when he cultivated. Eh, wait, Bian Shuangbi. This name sounds a little familiar. Soon, Mo Wuji recalled who Bian Shuangbi was; he was a juggernaut of Zhen Xing ah, an existence at the Rank 2 of the Universal Board. How did this fella end up trapped here? If not for him, Mo Wuji, this fella had always been Rank 1 on the Universal Board for thousands of years. "Oh right, let me introduce to you some people. This is Mu Yingqiao, Universal Board Rank 3. A few years ago, he was still Rank 2." Bian Shuangbi pointed at a long bearded man not far from him. Mu Yingqiao? This fella was also a juggernaut of Zhen Xing ah. That¡¯s right, he was indeed Rank 2, but he had been pushed down by me. "This is Lou Chuanhe, he has not been here for long." Bian Shuangbi then pointed at a man dressed like a space nomad. Mo Wuji¡¯s faze immediately shifted from Mu Yingqing to Lou Chuanhe. If they were talking about relationships, then Loy Chuanhe was more closely tied to him than Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao. Lou Chuanhe was Zhen Xing¡¯s 4th Star Lord. However, he had disappeared. Unexpectedly, he had ended up in this ghost town. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was the 8th Star Lord. If they really ended up fighting, he just needed to state his identity and he believed that Lou Chuanhe would definitely help him. "This is Fanq Qi, and by Fang Qi¡¯s side is Qu Yang. Fang Qi came from the Lost Continent, while Qu Yang is the sect head of Absolute Saber Sect." Following Bian Shuangbi¡¯s introduction, Mo Wuji noticed that Fang Qi looked the oldest here. His hair was all white, and he looked like he might die at any moment. This fella was from Lost Continent; they could be considered to have come from the same place. Mo Wuji nodded to him. As for Qu Yang, he was just like hissect name. He stood there like a staight pine. There was a sheatheless saber on his back. That saber looked incomparably perfect, no flaws could be seen anywhere. This fella reminded Mo Wuji of Solitary Red Knot. When Mo Wuji first saw Solitary Red Knot, Solitary Red Knot also had a sheatheless sword on his back. If he included himself, Bian Shuangbi only introduced five people. Clearly, the others weren¡¯t from Zhen Xing. "Dao Friend Mo, you just came from Zhen Xing. Do you know if my Absolute Saber Sect is doing well?" The man standing like a straight pine suddenly clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. Because of Bian Shuangbi¡¯s introduction, Mo Wuji knew that he was called Qu Yang. Moreover, Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of him, he had this spirit exuding from him. However, Mo Wuji did not know how to answer about the Absolute Saber Sect. He was the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, he was naturally clear about the various big sects. However, he had never heard of the Absolute Saber Sect. Clearly, the sect had already become like its name, absolutely eradicated. Seeing that Mo Wuji had remained silent, a hint of melancholy flashed across Qu Yang¡¯s eyes. He continued, "No matter what had happened, I hope that Dao Friend Mo can tell me about it. I, Qu Yang, know that my disciples are too direct. Even if something bad had happened, I will be able to accept it." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Dao Friend Qu, I¡¯m afraid Absolute Saber Sect had disappeared from Zhen Xing. Because I have never heard of such a sect." Mu Yingqiao seemed to understand Qu Yang¡¯s personality, he hurriedly interjected, "The Absolute Saber Sect is in a remote location, and its disciples don¡¯t frequently travel around Zhen Xing. It¡¯s normal that Dao Friend Mo had never heard of it." Mo Wuji did not want to lie to a person like Qu Yang, he shook his head and said, "No, I¡¯m the current Star Lord of Star King Mountain. I shouldn¡¯t be wrong about this matter." "You¡¯re Star King Mountain¡¯s Star Lord?" The silent Lou Chuanhe suddenly cried out in surprise. Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Lou Chuanhe, "Mo Wuji greets Senior Lou. That¡¯s right, I¡¯m the current Star Lord of Star King Mountain, I¡¯m also the 8th Star Lord." "Hahahaha¡­" Lou Chuanhe suddenly chortled loudly. He had been trapped here and his greatest worry had always been Zhen Xing. He was different from Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao. These people wholeheartedly pursued the greater Dao. Even if Zhen Xing was destroyed, they wouldn¡¯t care about it. However, Lou Chuanhe was the Star Lord of Star King Mountain, his master Le Tianyi had also died in battle for Zhen Xing. He never expected that he would meet the new Star Lord here. And this was not the most important point, the most important point was that this Star Lord was actually Rank 1 on the Universal Board. As a Star Lord, he understood what that meant. One had to kill boundless amounts of foreign cultivators in order to reach the top. Actually, when he left Zhen Xing, Zhen Xing was still embroiled in battle with the alien cultivators and space beasts. Thus, he had always been worried about Zhen Xing¡¯s safety. Moreover, Wolf King Mountain¡¯s Cang Xue had just arrived, causing this worry to deepen. "Dao Friend Mo, how¡¯s Zhen Xing?" After laughing heartily, Lou Chuanhe asked. If Star King Mountain had such a strong powerhouse like Mo Wuji as the Star Lord, Zhen Xing definitely wouldn¡¯t have been destroyed. Mo Wuji¡¯s feelings for Lou Chuanhe instantly soared. None of the Zhen Xing cultivators here actually inquired about Zhen Xing. Only Lou Chuanhe, a previous Star Lord, would actually care about Zhen Xing¡¯s safety. "Senior Lou, don¡¯t be worried. Before I came here, I already prepared something like an impenetrable defense for Zhen Xing. I believe that none of the foreign cultivators would dare come close to Zhen Xing. Now that Wolf King Mountain¡¯s little b*stard is here, we can be more assured." After Mo Wuji explained to Lou Chuanhe, he waved his Tian Ji Pole. He was sure that if he were to fight the Space Wolf King, Lou Chuanhe would definitely stand by his side. Since he would get help, he naturally wouldn¡¯t be courteous to the Space Wolf King. "Come attack me, old wolf. Oh right, I still have to tell you one thing. Your Wolf King Mountain is now rubble in space. Also, your little b*stard called Cang Jue or something like that had been killed by me." Mo Wuji took a few steps forward, standing in front of the Space Wolf King. Chapter 399: The Wolf King Relents Chapter 399: The Wolf King Relents Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This king is going to devour you!" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Cang Xue¡¯s eyes turned red, he opened his hand and a magic treasure appeared. The aura around him surged and he was enveloped in killing intent. Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart. His cultivation was much lower than this Space Wolf King. The reason why he said those words were to trigger the Space Wolf King. As long as the Space Wolf King had been triggered, he would have gained a huge advantage. Moreover, in this sort of place, he had the elemental storage channels and spirit storage channel, he already had the upper hand. Space Wolf King Cang Xue¡¯s magic treasure was a crown. Cang Xue threw out that crown and rings of gold light instantly formed. The gold light sped towards Mo Wuji, exuding an intense killing intent. Mo Wuji remained calm as he swung his Tian Ji pole, boundless pole shadows were formed. Until now, Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t know what material his Tian Ji Pole was made of, but he knew that his Tian Ji Pole was far from ordinary. After countless battles, his Tian Ji Pole had never been scarred. Even when he burned it with his Scholar¡¯s Heart, his Tian Ji Pole remained without scars. "Boom!" The boundless pole shadows clashed against the rings of golden light. Elemental energy exploded violently; Mo Wuji¡¯s heart tightened. He was bent on killing Cang Xue, and at the same time, he wanted to see if Cang Xue was unable to use elemental energy and spiritual will here. However, he forgot one important thing, his own power had been weakened significantly. He was chased by that white-haired girl for a long time, depleting most of his elemental energy. After he entered here, he also released two punches, which used up a lot of elemental energy. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji subconsciously retreated. Cang Xue¡¯s anger had already reached the sky, he unconsciously followed over. However, the moment he stepped out of the canyon, it was as though cold water had been poured over his emotions. He could no longer release any elemental energy, his golden rings of light also instantly dimmed down. How could Mo Wuji give up on such an opportunity; he did not hesitate to charge forward, kicking Cang Xue¡¯s chest. The battle-hardened Mo Wuji could tell that those ten over people were sitting inside the canyon, because spiritual will and elemental energy was not sealed in there. The Space Wolf King was the example. Originally, the Space Wolf King could still activate his magic treasure, but when he came out of the canyon, the power of his magic treasure instantly plummeted.¡¯ This, he wanted to kick Cang Xue out of that canyon, then slowly teach this b*stard a lesson. "Pui!: Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy was largely depleted, this kick was still enough to cause Cang Xue to cough out a mouthful of blood. However, Cang Xue wasn¡¯t kicked out by Mo Wuji, but was pulled back into the canyon with a long whip. Cang Xue had fully calmed down. Even if Wolf King Mountain was really destroyed, he couldn¡¯t act against Mo Wuji. Fighting would only be courting death. The one who pulled Cang Xue away was the short Black Fox. "Mo Wuji, not bad. At such a young age, you could actually enter Star King Mountain and even become Rank 1 on the Universal Board. If I¡¯m not wrong, you shouldn''t even be in the Earthly Immortal Stage right? No matter how strong you are, if you aren¡¯t an Earthly Immortal, you wouldn¡¯t even be able to reach Wolf King Mountain. Moreover, even if you are in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage, how could you be able to destroy Wolf King Mountain?" Black Fox¡¯s tone was calm but it contained a hint of disdain. She acted as though she didn¡¯t hear that Cang Xue¡¯s son Cang Jue had been killed. She only cared about Wolf King Mountain; she did not believe that Mo Wuji was able to destroy Wolf King Mountain. The fact that Mo Wuji could still use elemental energy and spiritual will here meant that he had his own secrets. However, this was not a surprise. Which of the people here didn¡¯t have their own secrets? Only now did Cang Xue come to a realisation. Oh right, in that previous exchange, although Mo Wuji kicked a mouthful of blood out of him, he could still tell that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation had yet to reach the Earthly Immortal Stage. For a cultivator who had not reached the Earthly Immortal Stage, how could he destroy Wolf King Mountain? "If I¡¯m not wrong, that soaring glowing light must have been stimulated by that white-haired girl. However, you saw it and you jumped in, right?" Before Mo Wuji could speak, Black Fox continued indifferently, as though she had seen all this personally. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded; this was possible ah. That white-haired girl was very strong, it was possible that she was the one that induced that glowing light. "Two against one? My Star King Mountain is not afraid. Brother Mo, if you want to continue, you can count me, Lou Chuanhe, in." Even though Black Fox merely saved Cang Xue and did not act against Mo Wuji, Lou Chuanhe was still dissatisfied and he stood forward. Black Fox¡¯s gaze landed on Lou Chuanhe and she said derisively, "Lou Chuanhe, if we really fight, my Wolf King Mountain and Gu Nuo Star Tribe should be the ones who aren¡¯t afraid. Moreover, I believe that your Zhen Xing dao friends wouldn¡¯t be willing to fight. You sure you want to fight?" In that sentence, Black Fox pulled the few cultivators from Gu Nuo in, but she was sure that they wouldn¡¯t rebut. After all, Wolf King Mountain and Gu Nuo Star had always been fighting Zhen Xing together. If they were going to battle, she naturally had to rope them in. As for the two space cultivators of unknown origins, they would probably hope to not be involved in the fight. If they fought in this tiny space, it might destroy the entire canyon. This wouldn¡¯t be good for everyone. Bian Shuangbi suddenly said, "Dao Friend Lou, Dao Friend Black Fox is right. We are now all on the same boat, we really shouldn¡¯t fight." Lou Chuanhe said coldly, "It¡¯s okay if we don¡¯t fight, but give me back my land." Previously, he had to give away his outermost spot and he had been harbouring this dissatisfaction in his heart. Unfortunately, he had arrived last while Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao had came first. These two people must have had some agreement with Black Fox and Freitz, so he could only keep this dissatisfaction within himself. After all, it was a personal thing, so he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Now that there was another Star Lord here, then he didn¡¯t need to keep this dissatisfaction within himself. "Senior Lou? They took your land?" Mo Wuji waved his Tian Ji Pole, killing intent surged from him. Previously, he didn¡¯t care much about that tiny space, but he knew now that it was a treasure. If the Space Wolf King could use his skills from inside, it meant that the canyon did not have any sort of seals. He urgently needed to recover his power, so he naturally needed to fight for a space. Bian Shuangbi frowned slightly; he did not like Lou Chuanhe¡¯s words. It was not that he wanted to be a dictator, but it was because he believed that a group must have its rules. He would indeed need to take that land back, but it should be said by him, and not Lou Chuanhe. "That¡¯s right. That was originally my spot, but that b*stard chased me away." Lou Chuanhe pointed at the Space Wolf King¡¯s spot. Thereafter, he continued, "Junior Mo, we¡¯re both from Star King Mountain, and we¡¯re both Star Lords, we shouldn¡¯t address each other based on seniority, but as brothers. Here, we need to depend on each other as brothers." "Alright." Mo Wuji did not hesitate. If they needed to fight, he will fight. Now that he had help, there was nothing much he needed to fear. "Cang Xue, give that space over to them." Black Fox said suddenly. Lou Chuanhe glanced at Black Fox. Previously, she was the one who asked him to give up his spot. Now, she was the one to ask Cang Xue to return it. Clearly, this fox demon was very patient. Cang Xue didn¡¯t utter any nonsense, but gave up his spot. "Junior brother Mo, you should rest first. We can talk about other things later." Lou Chuanhe could tell that Mo Wuji¡¯s power had yet to recover. Mo Wuji nodded and sat at Cang Xue¡¯s original spot. He lifted his hand and threw out a pile of Earth grade spirit stone, furiously recovering his elemental energy. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s terrifying speed of absorbing spiritual energy, everyone released a breath of cold air. They were all experienced Earthly Immortal experts. Moreover, those that were here were experts among experts. Even if they were furiously absorbing spiritual energy, they could not compare to Mo Wuji. ¡­ When Mo Wuji was violently absorbing spiritual energy, no one went to bother him. Days passed in the blink of an eye, Mo Wuji¡¯s power had fully recovered. He suddenly stood up. Not faraway, Space Wolf King¡¯s eye suddenly twitched. He already had a headache about Mo Wuji. When this fella was in the True God Stage, he already dared to do something that Chi Tong would never dare to do: Killing his Wolf King Mountain¡¯s descendant, the white-eyed wolf. Now that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation had already reached such a level, he wouldn¡¯t be surprised if Mo Wuji charged over to fight him. When Mo Wuji suddenly stood up, Cang Xue wasn¡¯t the only one who noticed it; everyone turned to look at him. Everyone thought the same as Cang Xue, they did not believe that Mo Wuji was a silent fella. The reason why he had been quiet over the past few days was because his power had yet to recover. Now that his power had recovered, even Black Fox didn¡¯t want to offend Mo WUji. Mo Wuji walked out of that tiny canyon and walked back to where he first landed. He forcefully tried to release his spiritual will. Just like previously, his spiritual will could not be exhibited. He forcefully condensed his spiritual eye, but he could only see an empty space. "Dao Friend Mo, we have already searched this place for a thousand years. There¡¯s no way out." One of the neutral cultivators was afraid that Mo Wuji would do something stupid, so he took the initiative to remind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded, then turned to the ten over people inside the canyon, "Is it possible for everyone to come out for a while, to let me examine the canyon." Everyone glanced at one another; no one replied Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Let go of my spot? Standing outside where they couldn¡¯t release their spiritual will or use their elemental energy? Wouldn¡¯t they be making themselves punching bags for Mo Wuji? "Dao Friend Mo, Dao Friend Mang Hai is right. We have already searched this entire area for thousands of years. There¡¯s completely no way out." Mu Yingqiao said solemnly. He started to dislike Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Even if Mo Wuji had some hidden cards, he was still a junior in this place. Mo Wuji said softly, "I only wish to use half an incense of time. If I don¡¯t find anything after half an incense of time, I promise that I will never disturb everyone¡¯s cultivation again. What if I find something? Then we all can escape. When Mo Wuji talked about not disturbing everyone¡¯s cultivation, a hint of ridicule emerged in his voice, The reason why he wanted these people to leave was because he wanted to scan the area with his spiritual eye. If everyone was inside, his spiritual eye would have been revealed. His cultivation was the lowest here, it was necessary for him to keep his cards hidden. Chapter 400: The Search For The Way Out Chapter 400: The Search For The Way Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations For a while, nobody moved an inch before Lou Chuanhe took the initiative to walk out, "Brother Mo, I will go outside so that you can search." "I will step out too," the next person to follow Lou Chuanhe out was actually the sect head of the Absolute Saber Sect, Qu Yang. This was a surprise which Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect because ever since Mo Wuji said that the Absolute Saber Sect was no longer in existence, Qu Yang had not spoken. "Since Dao friend Mo is able to be ranked first on the Universal Board, I believe that he has the qualifications to make this request," Bian Shuangbi finished his piece as he stepped out of the from the depth of the canyon. He initially occupied the deepest and highest spot so he naturally had to walk past everyone else to exit the canyon. A Gu Nuo Star Tribe cultivator grunted coldly, "How can we trust that he isn¡¯t using this as an excuse to chase us out before occupying this whole canyon by himself?" Such things were not impossible because if Mo Wuji had a black stomach [1] to chase everyone out so that he could occupy this canyon for himself, no one would be able to re-enter if Mo Wuji was resolute in keeping them out. Bian Shuangbi didn¡¯t bother about him as he continued to walk out of the canyon. After Bian Shuangbi walked out, Mu Yingqiao and Fang Qi followed him out too. Mo Wuji laughed coldly before saying faintly, "I have already invited everyone out and even my Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators are all outside already. If the remaining of you refuse to come out and end up affecting my search, don¡¯t blame me for being rude afterwards." If it was any other person who said something like that, cultivators of the Gu Nuo Star Tribe and the Wolf King Mountain would have definitely acted against him without any hesitation. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was not affected even in this small canyon so they simply didn¡¯t dare to do anything to him. This was because acting against him would not stop Mo Wuji from coming in and if all sorts of magic treasures were to fly around in this small canyon, the place would certainly be destroyed into nothingness in no time. "I believe that Dao friend Mo would not lie to us," Since all the Zhen Xing cultivators were already out, if the other cultivators refused to cooperate, Mo Wuji was indeed intending to settle this by force. What he didn¡¯t expect was that the Black Fox actually took the initiative to cooperate with him and even spoke up for him as it walked out. Since the Black Fox had already stepped out, the other demonic beast from the Wolf King Mountain and the Space Wolf King stepped out too. After seeing that the majority of the cultivators were already standing outside, the remaining cultivators had no choice but to follow them out too. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief because he wouldn¡¯t wish to fight here if he had a choice. The people outside were extremely nervous as they watched Mo Wuji walked into the canyon alone. They knew that the moment they were outside, they had lost the opportunity to do anything to Mo Wuji. Presently, they were most worried that Mo Wuji would suddenly attack them after occupying the entire canyon. Fortunately, this didn¡¯t happen as they watched Mo Wuji back faced them as he looked as if he was only scanning the surrounding. Mo Wuji would naturally not resort to such means to attack everyone else. After everyone left, he immediately condensed his spiritual eye. Very soon, Mo Wuji spotted a few hidden transfer arrays and this should be transfer arrays put in place through a transfer talisman. There was one on Bian Shuangbi, Black Fox and another neutral cultivator¡¯s spot. It was evident that the moment Mo Wuji decided to act against them, the three of them would immediately transfer back to the canyon. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too affected by it because if it was him, he would have done the same and be cautious. He didn¡¯t do anything to the three transfer arrays even though he could easily destroy them with a blink of an eye. However, he was truly interested in finding a way out and not be stuck here for over thousands of years. In less than half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji noticed something odd. The spot with the densest spiritual energy was Bian Shuangbi¡¯s spot and his place was located on a higher ground than the rest. Behind his spot seemed like a firm wall but it was an array base which even his spiritual will was unable to scan through. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t see what was behind the array base but he was certain that if he truly wanted the way out, he had to first break through into the array base behind these walls. Mo Wuji used his hand to feel this wall and could feel that this firmness of the wall was not something he could break through by himself. Furthermore, even if he was capable of doing it alone, he wouldn¡¯t do so. After all, other than the hidden array base behind these walls, there was also Bian Shuangbi¡¯s hidden transfer array so it wouldn¡¯t be pleasant if Mo Wuji were to create misunderstandings that he was trying to destroy Bian Shuangbi¡¯s transfer array. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji stood up and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone can come in now." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, everyone hurried back into the canyon. It was only in the canyon where they could demonstrate their true strength. Bian Shuangbi clasped his fist in Mo Wuji¡¯s direction and asked, "Dao friend Mo, do you have any discoveries?" Mo Wuji pointed to the wall behind Bian Shuangbi¡¯s spot and said, "Dao friend Bian, I have discovered something. I have some knowledge about array dao and I believe there is a hidden array base behind this piece of canyon wall. I have no idea whether this array base was natural or man-made so if we want to find out more about it, we have to destroy this piece of wall to reveal this array base." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mention about his spiritual eye as he only talked about the array base. Nobody spoke as they all looked at Bian Shuangbi because the plan was to destroy the wall directly behind his spot. Bian Shuangbi revealed a slight smile, "I have no objection but there is something I have to let Dao friend Mo know. Back then when I first arrived, we tried to blast all four sides and initially the surface area of this place was a lot bigger but after we blast this place up, the front portion caved in and became inaccessible. Additionally, the area where we could live became smaller." Mo Wuji understood Bian Shuangbi¡¯s meaning which was the fact that the area outside where people couldn¡¯t execute their spiritual will and elemental energy was initially not this big and it was only after everyone blasted the canyon which resulted in the area inside to decrease while increasing the area outside. This was telling Mo Wuji that if he wasn¡¯t confident, he should abort this idea. "I have sufficient confidence," Mo Wuji said calmly. After a while, he continued, "Of course, if everyone is not interested to leave and is willing to stay and cultivate in this constraint place for another thousands of years, you can forget about what I¡¯ve just said." "Brother Mo, I had enough of this place so I will be the first to support you," Lou Chuanhe stood out once again. "I support you too," The next one to speak was Fang Qi. Fang Qi was almost running out of longevity so staying here would mean that he was waiting for his death in this constraint place. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wait for the rest of them who were still hesitating as he said, "Since this is the case, we will attack this spot simultaneously and I believe that no matter how sturdy this wall was, it wouldn¡¯t stay sturdy for long if we were all to combine our attacks." "Alright," Bian Shuangbi muttered one word and immediately took out his own magic treasure. Bian Shuangbi¡¯s magic treasure was actually a foldable fan which made Mo Wuji extremely curious to know how strong this foldable fan could be. Bian Shuangbi should be the strongest person here and his cultivation technique should be the most outstanding one. Or rather, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to notice signs of aging from Bian Shuangbi¡¯s appearance. "Dao friend Mo, the moment you say ¡®go¡¯, we will start attacking," Bian Shuangbi held onto his foldable fan as he laughed and said. After noticing everyone around him had already drawn their magic treasure, Mo Wuji swung his Tian Ji Pole and said, "Let¡¯s go!" It was almost at the same instant when Mo Wuji swung his Tian Ji Pole, everyone else started attacking the same spot Mo Wuji was attacking. Mo Wuji was secretly praising these people in his heart because every single one of them was an expert in their field. As compared to the Worldly Immortal Stage experts he teamed up with to attack Zhu Qu previously, their combined attacks now was almost a hundred times stronger. Moreover, everyone was cautious about each other so nobody here was foolish enough to fully exert all their force here which made it even more impressive. Even Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go all out attacking the wall. "Boom!" Tens of different attacks landed on the same spot and loud explosions could be heard from within the canyon. Pieces of rocks fell as everyone¡¯s attention ended up on the outside. These falling rocks landed on the periphery of the place everyone was standing on and because of these falling rocks, half of Mo Wuji¡¯s surrounding became area where elemental energy was unable to condense at. Everyone looked towards Mo Wuji and even though no one spoke, Mo Wuji knew what everyone meant. If they were to continue attacking, they might not only be unable to find a way out and could even make this small canyon disappear. Mo Wuji looked at the almost unharmed looking canyon wall as he took in a deep breath before saying, " Fellow Dao friends, I know everyone¡¯s concerns but please trust me. I believe there is something peculiar about this wall and we could perhaps find the way out once we destroy this wall. However, I hope that in the next attack, everyone have to use their full force because this wall was strong to begin with, so if we were to conserve our energy, it might be very tough for us to break through. I hope that everyone would not think so much because too much hesitation would definitely not get things done." After finishing his speech, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t give everyone a chance to hesitate as he swung out his Tian Ji Pole and shouted, "Everyone continue!" "Boom!" Over 10 different magic treasures started attacking the same spot and compared to the first, the power was numerous times stronger. The sound of rocks falling was heard again and everyone knew their area became much smaller once again. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seem to mind as he continuously swung his Tian Ji Pole at the centre of the canyon wall. Everyone else could only take out their magic treasures and attack together with Mo Wuji. Everyone¡¯s face turned slightly stern because the area that they were standing on became less than one third of what it used to be. In other words, if they couldn¡¯t find an escape route, everyone would have to squeeze in this potentially smaller place. "There are cracks appearing," Mo Wuji pointed to the spot where everyone was attacking and shouted. "So what? After attacking for half an incense, any wall would have cracks appearing on it," The Space Wolf King said coldly. [1]: Having a black stomach means that someone is plotting something bad in his mind. Chapter 401: Half Immortal Domain Chapter 401: Half Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered with Cang Xue as he continued to swing his Tian Ji Pole against the crack on the canyon wall. This time round, nobody else followed Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji no longer needed their help. As soon as Mo Wuji used all his force to strike against the crack on the wall, a loud crackling sound could be heard and large pieces of rocks fell. A huge hole appeared in front of the crowd and everyone stared shockingly with the mouth wide opened at this massive hole as all of them started scanning the hole using their spiritual will. Very soon, people realised that they had no idea where this massive hole was leading to and they couldn¡¯t sense the end with their spiritual will. Not only this, this massive hole looked normal and calm on the surface but there was a surge of turbulence inside the hole as if there were endless number of swords flying all around. "This could perhaps lead to the immortal world¡­" Half a moment later, Mu Yingqiao turned and said. Bian Shuangbi looked at Mo Wuji, "Dao friend Mo, you opened this place so what do you think it is?" Mo Wuji was equally shocked because he initially thought that it was only an array base but after destroying the wall and the array base, there was actually a place like this inside this canyon. Since the spiritual will of others couldn¡¯t sense the end of the hole, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will couldn¡¯t too. Now that Bian Shuangbi asked him, he could only ponder for a moment before saying, "I have no idea too but regardless, I believe there is at least one route here." Nobody continued talking and nobody dared to be the first to enter this hole too. Their own spiritual will had already warned them that this massive hole was nothing but calm and peaceful. Mo Wuji noticed that nobody moved an inch so he simply said, "Since this is the case, I shall make my move first. Goodbye everyone." Finishing his statement, Mo Wuji stepped out and went directly into the massive turbulent hole. After watching Mo Wuji entered, Lou Chuanhe didn¡¯t bother saying anything as he followed Mo Wuji into the massive hole. Having observed the first and second man entering the hole, the rest of them started to enter the hole one after the other. No matter what this hole entailed, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t lie about the fact that this was at least a way out. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji entered the massive hole, he could feel an even denser spiritual energy and this spiritual energy was of a higher grade than that of the Star Lord Mountain. This made Mo Wuji wondered if this hole could actually lead to the immortal world. The formidable spiral wind was indeed like swords flying around as it not only prevented Mo Wuji from entering but also continuously brought about scars one after another on his body. Mo Wuji had already experienced the Thorny Wind Gate so these intensely sharp spiral wind might be able to injure him but to completely take him out, it was still lacking. This massive hole was like a boundless passage as Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stop moving forward. A month has passed and after countless of scars, he could finally feel the weakening of the crazy wind which made Mo Wuji¡¯s speed a lot faster. After a few more days, just as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was able to work, his entire body became light and a tremendous force carried him up. This was the space array gate! There was a space array gate right at the Universal Pier of Zhen Xing so Mo Wuji was too familiar with this type of array gate. He immediately covered his entire body and allowed this force to bring him away. Indeed, after a period of dizziness, Mo Wuji landed on solid land. This was actually not the space? Mo Wuji used his spiritual will and he sensed a boundless desert. The black coloured soil was extremely eye catching as there wasn¡¯t a tinge of green under the scan of his spiritual will. There was no impression of such a place in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind and he had never read about it. It was only after a moment of hesitation, Mo Wuji decided to choose a direction and hurried towards that direction. He was aware that the space array gates were random and even if he were to wait at his original spot, he might not be able to see Lou Chuanhe and co. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t disappointed because there was quite a dense amount of spiritual energy in this place too. Even though the spiritual energy here seemed to be of a higher grade than the spiritual energy in Zhen Xing, Mo Wuji guessed that this shouldn¡¯t be the immortal world because even the spirit stones slags that he retrieved from the Half Moon Immortal Palace was of a slightly higher quality grade than these. If this was truly the immortal world, the spiritual energy couldn¡¯t have been any poorer than that of a spirit stone slag. Fortunately after half a day of travelling, Mo Wuji saw two more people. Mo Wuji hurried over and landed beside the two of them as he clasped his fist and said, "Greetings the two Dao friends over here." The two of them looked a little strange as each of them was carrying a basket on their back and the basket was filled with some black coloured minerals which Mo Wuji had no idea what it was. What Mo Wuji noticed that was even more peculiar was their cultivation level. He was certain that the two of them were stronger than him and was at least in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. "Newbie?" The slightly taller man sized Mo Wuji up and glanced at Mo Wuji¡¯s wrist before saying faintly. It was only then that Mo Wiji realised that both of them had a circular bracelet on their wrist. "Yes, I accidentally entered the space array gate to arrive here," Mo Wuji answered honestly. "Walk straight from here, you will see a residential district and you can make a identity bracelet there," The slightly taller man pointed to a direction as he said "Identity bracelet? May I know what is this place? Is this not the immortal world?" Mo Wuji asked inquisitively. The man answering Mo Wuji revealed a ridicule smile as a flash of loneliness flashed by his eyes, "Even you treat this place like the immortal world but it¡¯s real name is the Half Immortal Domain. You wouldn¡¯t be able to survive alone here so head forward to enter the Half Immortal Domain. Someone will approach you to join and you can join us in digging for minerals everyday." After saying this, that Earthly Immortal expert didn¡¯t continue explaining as he carried on moving forward. As for the other Earthly Immortal, he didn¡¯t even say anything from the very start. Half Immortal Domain? Earthly Immortal Stage experts still had to dig for minerals everyday? Mo Wuji was completely lost as he watched the back view of these two experts became increasingly small. From the words of these two people, he knew that digging of the minerals wasn¡¯t forced upon them and even joining the Half Immortal Domain wasn¡¯t compulsory. No matter what, he had to take a look at what was ahead of him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think any further as he headed towards the direction the man pointed to him earlier on. Four hours later, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will managed to sense a large architecture and there were streams of people entering and exiting it. It was indeed a residential district. "My friend, are you new here?" A short and plump cultivator hurried to block Mo Wuji as he clasped his fist cheerfully. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "That¡¯s right, I am indeed new here." "My name is Han Xing, please join my Blackstone Union. My Blackstone Union rewards its members the most and we will definitely not be short of spirit stones for cultivation. Moreover, my Blackstone Union¡¯s strength in the Half Immortal Domain is¡­" "Hold on¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Han Xing¡¯s words apologetically, "Brother Han, the Blackstone Union that you talk about, is it a sect in the Half Immortal Domain?" Before waiting for Han Xing¡¯s reply, someone by the side said, "Dao friend, please don¡¯t believe his words. If you¡¯re interested in joining his Blackstone Union, why don¡¯t you join my Seeking Immortal Union? My Seeking Immortal Union¡­" "Li Qianfei, what are you trying to do? Messing with my Blackstone Union in public?" Han Xing shouted furiously the moment he heard that someone wanted to hold Mo Wuji off. This Li Qianfei, who was called by Han Xing, was also a plump cultivator and was in fact, even fatter than Han Xing. After he heard Han Xing¡¯s words, he laughed coldly, "Han Xing, which eye of yours saw me messing around with your Blackstone Union? This Dao friend just arrived and had yet to join a team so why is it that only your Blackstone Union can invite him? It is only natural that this Dao friend can choose to go wherever the conditions are better for him." "Speaking of conditions, my Longevity Sect has the best conditions around here. This Dao friend here, join my Longevity Sect¡­" Before Mo Wuji could clarify about the Blackstone Union and the Seeking Immortal Union, yet another cultivator came over. "Why don¡¯t you join my Sword Qi Flatland? We are the fairest and most open out of everyone here as we will definitely not allow any bullying of our members¡­" Mo Wuji was finally able to grasp a bit of what was happening. This Half Immortal Domain seemed to have many teams and these teams were all busy trying to recruit new members. At one glance, most of the cultivators walking around were carrying a basket on their back. Some baskets were empty while others were filled with some black minerals. "Everyone stop arguing and let this Dao friend make his own decision," Han Xing was feeling a little annoyed because there was lesser and lesser newcomers in the Half Immortal Domain recently and after he finally found one, he was met with so many competitors. "Right, let our new friend choose one for himself," Li Qianfei added. Mo Wuji clasped his fist and said, "Thank you everyone for your love but I only came here because I accidentally entered a space array gate¡­" "Hold on¡­ accidentally entered? Didn¡¯t you break through the void after reaching the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage? Are you not a cultivator in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage?" Han Xing hurried to interrupt Mo Wuji¡¯s words and asked shockingly. Mo Wuji heard about breaking through the void and was stunned. If breaking through the void meant that he would reach a place like this, he really didn¡¯t wish to break through the void. Mo Wuji answered instinctively, "No, I really did accidentally stepped into the space array door and reached here. I am only at the Worldly Immortal Stage." "..." Everyone who was fighting for Mo Wuji exchanged glances and Li Qianfei was to first to speak, "I still have something on, you guys carry on." After saying that, Li Qianfei sped off. Evidently, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level made him disappointed and he was no longer interested in wasting time here. "Are you really only a Worldly Immortal Stage expert?" Han Xing was in disbelief as he asked once more. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "That¡¯s right, I am only in the Worldly Immortal Stage but I am already in the intermediate stage. I believe in a few years time, I will definitely be able to step into the Earthly Immortal Stage." Mo Wuji could tell that all the fellas who were fighting for him previously were starting to despise him because of his cultivation level. He hurried to say a few words about himself so as to ¡®promote¡¯ himself to them. "I have no means to help you now," Han Xing shook his head and left immediately. After Han Xing and Li Qianfei left, the ¡®fair and open¡¯ fella from the Sword Qi Flatland left quicker than anyone else. Mo Wuji hurried to grab the last fella from the Longevity Sect and said, "This Dao friend, please hold on¡­" Chapter 402: Settling Down at the Half Immortal Domain Chapter 402: Settling Down at the Half Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This Longevity Sect¡¯s cultivator really stopped in his tracks but before Mo Wuji could say anything, he revealed an apologetic expression as he said, "This dao friend here, there is really nothing I can do for you here. In this place, those below the Earthly Immortal Stage are basically unable to dig up the black stones. You are only in the intermediate stage of the Worldly Immortal Stage which means that you are still extremely far away from becoming an Earthly Immortal Stage cultivator." In fact, there was something else that the cultivator couldn¡¯t bear to tell Mo Wuji. That was the fact that without black stones, one would definitely not be able to cultivate and advance into the Earthly Immortal Stage here. He would not only be unable to cultivate and reach the Earthly Immortal Stage, his cultivation level might even decrease. "May I ask how do I make the Half Immortal Domain¡¯s identity bracelet? Or rather, will there be any consequences if I don¡¯t make identity bracelet?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask. "With the Half Immortal Domain bracelet, one would be able to live in the Half Immortal Domain because there are all sorts of dangers outside the domain. Furthermore, one couldn¡¯t cultivate outside the Half Immortal Domain. The spiritual energy within the Half Immortal Domain allows you to cultivate but other than this, there wouldn¡¯t be any other consequences," This cultivator answered Mo Wuji¡¯s question patiently. Unable to cultivate? Mo Wuji immediately tried circulating his meridians and after one round of spiritual circulation, he was certain there was indeed something wrong with the spiritual energy. These spiritual energy had the form but not the spirit so after absorbing it, a large proportion of it would be dissipated away and only a extremely small proportion could be absorbed into the meridian. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on the big piece of architecture in front of him and that particular building didn¡¯t look like it was anything special to him. There were no arrays installed around it and it appeared similar to the space canyon he landed on previously where there were some parts where cultivation looked possible while some parts seemed impossible. The area, in which cultivation was possible, was wrapped up as it formed the Half Immortal Domain. "You don¡¯t have to worry because as long as you don¡¯t stay permanently in the Half Immortal Domain, nobody would care about you even if you didn¡¯t have the bracelet," This cultivator from the Longevity Sect was still rather patient as he took the initiative to add that sentence after noticing that Mo Wuji looked rather lost and shocked. Mo Wuji nodded his head because he really didn¡¯t mind at all. He had no idea whether others were similar to him because he was still able to absorb a very small proportion of spiritual energy. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to live outside the Half Immortal Domain because given the various dangers present, he might not be able to survive with his current strength. "May I know how do I address senior?" Mo Wuji wanted to make friends after he realised that he would probably need help. "My name is Lang Hao." "Dao Friend Lang, even though my cultivation level is low, I am still able to help with some menial work. For example, I could help to dig minerals or even help to recruit new members, etc. I only request for the Longevity Sect to help me make an identity bracelet," Mo Wuji suspected that he needed to find a team to join if he wanted to make an identity bracelet. Whether or not this was true, finding Lang Hao to help wouldn¡¯t go wrong. Lang Hao shook his head, "It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you because it is very simple to make an identity bracelet. All my Longevity Sect needed to do was to fork out ten spirit stone slags. However, the problem is that after we help you make an identity bracelet, we would still need to provide spirit stone slags for you to cultivate while you can¡¯t even dig minerals for us. My Longevity Sect really couldn¡¯t afford to nurture people who don¡¯t contribute." Mo Wuji finally understood why the rest of them left because to recruit someone into their team, they needed to pay him commissions as well as salary whether or not he contributed. "Dao Friend Lang, as long as I¡¯m unable to dig up the minerals, I wouldn¡¯t take your spirit stone slags. Even the spirit stone slags your Longevity Sect used to help me make my identity bracelet, I will find a way to return it," Mo Wuji said confidently. Hearing that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t accept the salary, Lang Hao pondered for a moment and after hesitating once more, he finally said, "Alright, follow me then." The Longevity Sect needed some runners to recruit new members, pass on messages, etc. He completely ignored or didn¡¯t care about the part where Mo Wuji said he would find minerals for them. It was simply impossible for a Worldly Immortal Stage cultivator to think that he could find a blackstone mine here. The most important reason why he decided to agree to Mo Wuji¡¯s request was because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want the salary. It was definitely a good thing to have one more member in the Longevity Sect without the need to pay him. The number of spirit stones slags needed was also within his means. As he followed Lang Hao into the Half Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji found out a lot more about the Half Immortal Domain from his Q&A session with Lang Hao. The overall in charge of the Half Immortal Domain was an expert called Guang Quan and there were many different teams within the Half Immortal Domain. The only purpose and work of these teams was to unearth minerals. A mineral which had the shape similar to a blackstone but because nobody knew what it was, they addressed it as blackstone. Moreover, it was impossible to keep these blackstones inside normal storage rings which was why people carried it using the baskets. These minerals that were unearthed would be sent to be under Guang Quan at the Half Immortal Domain and then Guang Quan would transfer these minerals away in exchange for spirit stone slags. Cultivators in the Half Immortal Domain would then use these spirit stone slags to cultivate. Whoever could unearth more minerals would eventually receive more spirit stone slags. "Brother Lang, I wonder if it is possible for you to pass me a spirit stone slag to let me take a look at how it looks like?" Mo Wuji thought of the spirit stone slags from the Half Moon Prison and was suspecting if they were the same type of spirit stone slags. Lang Hap didn¡¯t mind as he casually took out a small piece of spirit stone slag to pass it to Mo Wuji, "This thing had another name which was Half Immortal Stone as it¡¯s cultivation efficiency was much stronger than the average Heaven grade spirit stones." The moment the spirit stone slag landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, he could feel that the spirit stone slags he retrieved from the Half Moon Prison was exactly the same one as the one in his hand now. Could the Half Moon Prison have originated from here? It didn¡¯t seem likely because all the stewards at the Half Moon Prison were experts of the Worldly Immortal Stage. For example, the Meng Yinsan, who killed the warden, was a Worldly Immortal Stage expert too. However, every cultivator here were Earthly Immortal Stage experts and there could perhaps be some Worldly Immortal Stage experts here too but Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to sense any of them using his spiritual will. Noticing that Mo Wuji had been observing the spirit stone slag for a long time now, Lang Hao originally wanted to comfort Mo Wuji by telling him he would receive it in the future too. However, at the thought of this, he recalled that it might actually be impossible for a Worldly Immortal Stage expert like Mo Wuji to receive a spirit stone slag which was why he felt relieved that he didn¡¯t say out what he originally wanted to say. The process to make an identity bracelet was rather simple and after Mo Wuji reported his name, Lang Hao handed 10 spirit stone slags to the management and the bracelet was made. The truth was that as long as Mo Wuji had 10 spirit stone slags with him, he could have gotten an identity bracelet by himself. Mo Wuji was rejoicing at the fact that he was able to join the Longevity Sect because he had already used up all his spirit stone slags for cultivation and couldn¡¯t afford 10 of them. After helping Mo Wuji register for the bracelet, Lang Hao made Mo Wuji write an IOU for the loan of 10 spirit stone slags. Usually because the member would contribute to the team in the form of unearthing minerals, one wouldn¡¯t need to return the spirit stone slags when the team helped its member to make an identity bracelet. However, because of Mo Wuji¡¯s low cultivation level and low possibility of making contributions to the Longevity Sect, Lang Hao made Mo Wuji write an IOU. "Mo Wuji, as long as you are in the territory of the Half Immortal Domain, you can find your own immortal cave to build. Remember, the Longevity Sect will be having a gathering in the morning two days later to distribute the mining areas so please don¡¯t miss it," After leaving the place where they collected the bracelet, Lang Hao gave Mo Wuji a pat and was no longer bothered with him. Mo Wuji knew the location of the Longevity Sect because he saw it when they walked in earlier on. There were many teams here with their names hung on so it looked like a simple berth. As for the Half Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji was rather interested in it because the spirit stone slags attracted his attention. Mo Wuji was fully aware of the effectiveness of the spirit stone slags because if it wasn¡¯t for the spirit stone slags, it would have been a huge question as to whether or not he would be able to advance into the True God Stage. The spiritual energy within the spirit stone slags was not only extremely dense, it was of a very high quality too. Even if others might think that Mo Wuji would not be able to dig up the minerals given his cultivation level, Mo Wuji never doubted himself. He believed that as long as there were blackstones here, he would be able to unearth them. The moment he could unearth them and exchanged it for spirit stone slags, he would be able to use it to increase his cultivation level tremendously. Therefore, when Mo Wuji was looking for an immortal cave, his first consideration would be the suitability for his cultivation. When all 106 meridians of his underwent spiritual circulation together, it would definitely affect the serenity of the area. Even if he were to install a spirit concealing array, it would only minimise the impact of the surrounding so he would rather stay low. In the end, Mo Wuji chose a rather remote position which was neither too far not too near to the main crowd. Even though this position stood alone, it wasn¡¯t too lofty in this area. There were in fact a lot of cultivators in the Half Immortal Domain who wanted an immortal cave which was located in a more remote place. After choosing his spot, Mo Wuji started to build his immortal cave. He had all sorts of materials in his storage ring plus he could even retrieve natural materials from here. Mo Wuji constructed a four room cave with one living room, one cultivation room, one storage room and a spare room. Afterwards, he installed a variety of arrays because he wouldn¡¯t let his knowledge in arrays go to waste. Energy gathering array, concealment array, defensive array, hidden killing array... After working hard for two days, Mo Wuji finally finished preparing his immortal cave. Inside this Half Immortal Domain, it was indeed a lot easier to absorb the spiritual energy for cultivation. However, there were still a lot of spiritual energy that were wasted so it could be said that one wouldn¡¯t be able to completely absorb spiritual energy here. Mo Wuji was not completely clueless after so many years of cultivation so he had this faint sensing that this had something to do with the laws of heaven and earth. Even the cultivators with the lowest cultivation level here like himself could feel the effects of the laws here. As for the Earthly Immortal Stage experts or the Heavenly Immortal Stage experts, they should definitely be able to feel the laws acting on one¡¯s cultivation. No matter how dense or good the spiritual energy was, if there wasn¡¯t any Heaven and Earth¡¯s Dao laws put in place, one wouldn¡¯t be able to gain enlightenment from the Heaven and Earth¡¯s Dao. If he really wished to improve, he had to find the spirit stone slags. ¡­ On the morning of the third day, Mo Wuji had already arrived at a massive house which was the Longevity Sect. Even though Mo Wuji arrived early in the morning, he was comparably late because there were already over a hundred people inside the house when he arrived. Many eyes fell on Mo Wuji as they could tell straightaway that he was a newcomer. Lang Hao, who was sitting by the side, shook his head because Mo Wuji was not only the newcomer here, he had the lowest cultivation level too and yet he arrived the latest. Chapter 403: Allocation Of Mining Areas Chapter 403: Allocation Of Mining Areas Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji discovered that he was the last to arrive. He was a little speechless; he had already chose to come especially early, but he had still been the last. Could this people have reported here even before the sun came up? Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was really not bad; these people really came before daybreak. "You¡¯re new? Why are you so late?" The one speaking was a middle-aged man sitting at the head seat. Mo Wuji was a new face, and was even the last to arrive, it was hard for him not to get noticed. Mo Wuji saw that this person was at the highest seat and could guess that he should be the Longevity Sect¡¯s sect head. This fella placed great importance in his appearance; his long hair had been tied into a neat cultivator¡¯s bun, making him look very spirited. In terms of cultivation, Mo Wuji could feel that this fella was even higher than the Space Wolf King. "Mo Wuji, this is our Longevity Sect¡¯s Sect Head Feng. Why aren¡¯t you paying your respects?" Lang Hao hurriedly scolded from the side. He started to have some regrets, he should not have brought Mo Wuji in. Previously, he saw that Mo Wuji was very astute and he thought that Mo Wuji would be a very capable person. However, he would never have expected that Mo Wuji would be the last to arrive. After scolding Mo Wuji, Lang Hao anxiously bowed and explained to the sect head, "Sect Head Feng, Mo Wuji is a newcomer. Because he entered the broken void by accident, his cultivation is rather low, just at the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage. I saw that he was rather intelligent, so I brought him to Longevity Sect to help do some promotions for our sect." Sect Head Feng nodded slightly, his gaze landed on Mo Wuji. When everyone else in the house heard that Mo Wuji was only in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, their lips all curved into a smile. A mere Worldly Immortal, had no business here; the only thing he could do was to help promote Longevity Sect. Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists, "Replying the sect head, I am Mo Wuji, a newcomer. Because it¡¯s my first time, I didn¡¯t know that I was late." Sect Head Feng looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of interest as he spoke indifferently, "You¡¯re not late. You just came slightly later than the rest." Mo Wuji only needed to look at Sect Head Feng¡¯s expression and to hear Sect Head Feng¡¯s words to know that the sect head had misunderstood him. The sect head must definitely have thought that he was merely giving an excuse, when in reality, he really didn¡¯t know that he was late. However, he could only shut his mouth when facing this sort of things; the more he explained, the worse it would get. Sect Head Feng did not continue to care about Mo Wuji, but spoke loudly, "Since everyone is here, I will now announce the mining areas that our Longevity Sect has obtained." The house instantly went silent; everyone perked their years to listen to Sect Head Feng¡¯s words. Because Mo Wuji was a newbie, he wasn¡¯t familiar with the group organisation within Longevity Sect. Perhaps it was because Lang Hao didn¡¯t consider Mo Wuji as part of the main force for Longevity Sect, which was why much of the details weren¡¯t told to Mo Wuji. Now, everyone seemed to be focused on the sect head¡¯s words, so he could only follow suit. Sect Head Feng¡¯s gaze unintentionally swept across Mo Wuji. When he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s attentive look, he suddenly felt like laughing. Actually, with Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation being at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he really didn¡¯t need to listen. "This time, we have gained the rights to enter four mining areas. They are Mining Area 9087C, divided into ratios of 5:2:3; Mining Area 8762D, divided into the ratios of 4:2:3; Mining Area 3104E, divided into the ratios of 4:3:3; Mining Area 5109F, divided into the ratios of 2:3:5." Following the end of Sect Head Feng¡¯s speech, the house instantly got lively. Many of the people were applauding and patting each other¡¯s shoulders, seemingly raring to go and start work. "Eh, I can¡¯t believe that we even managed get into Mining Area C. I came too late." The guy standing right in front of Mo Wuji sighed. Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and asked, "This Dao Friend, can I ask why you said you came too late? And what do the letters on the mining areas mean?" This cultivator was clearly not in a good mood. His eyes swept across Mo Wuji, and when he recalled that Mo Wuji was only a Worldly Immortal, he couldn¡¯t even be bothered to answer. Mo Wuji already understood his situation Yesterday, Lang Hao didn¡¯t even tell him many things; clearly these fellas did not even treat him as a member of their Longevity Sect. He¡¯s merely here as a condiment. Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask another person, a cultivator not too far away explained, "Those that came early are those at the front. They will be the ones allocated the better mining areas like C and D." After Mo Wuji expressed his thanks, he continued to ask, "Then, can I ask, what¡¯s the meaning behind the ratios?" Luckily, this cultivator did not seem annoyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s questions, "Let¡¯s say Mining Area 9087C is divided according to the ratio of 5:2:3. It means that if you dig 10 pieces of blackstone, 5 of them will go to Half Immortal Domain, 2 will go to Longevity Sect, while the remaining 3 will go to you. The higher the district, the more popular it is." That didn¡¯t sound right ah. Mo Wuji asked doubtfullt, "This friend, just now the sect head said that Mining Area 5109F is divided to 2:3:5. Wouldn¡¯t that be much better than in Mining Area C? We could keep half of the blackstone to ourselves?" "Hehe, you¡¯re a newcomer so you naturally don¡¯t know this. Even though your personal ratio in Mining Area F is the highest, the mineral content within the mine is low it is hard to dig. Even if you get to keep 50%, you might not be able to get as much as Mining Area C. In Longevity Sect, the earliest people will stand at the front, and they would get allocated the better mining areas." The cultivator chuckled as he explained. Mo Wuji finally came to an understanding, no wonder why these fellas wanted to come so early. This was based on their own personal benefits ah. If he was the first to arrive, then wouldn¡¯t he be allocated to Mining Area C? Sect Head Feng waited till the discussions died down before continuing, "This time, 32 people will be allocated to Mining Area 9087C. The first 16 people can choose your pairs." As he finished speaking, Mo Wuji say 16 people coming from the left and right side. These 16 people chose their own pairs, forming a group of 32 people. Thereafter, they each took their bracelets and imprinted it in the area in front of Sect Head Feng. Then, they left the house. Mo Wuji also understood another thing: Being the last to come did not mean that he would have no hope. As long as you knew the people who came early, you could form a team with him and leave together. When he first arrived in Half Immortal Domain, he saw two people digging for blackstone. He could guess that each team should be comprised of two people. "Mining Area 8762D has a total of 28 slots. The first 14 can choose your partners." As Sect Head Feng finished, another 14 people stood forward. Not long later, 28 people left the house. "Mining Area 3104E has a total of 60 slots. The first 30 can choose your partners." "Mining Area 5109F has a total of 40 slots¡­" ¡­ Mo Wuji discovered that he was exactly the last person within the group of 40. He stared curiously at that cultivator who helped explained things to him previously, "This dao friend, if I¡¯m not allocated a slot this time round, what should I do?" The cultivator patted Mo Wuji¡¯s wrist, "If you¡¯re not allocated, or if you can¡¯t find a partner, then you can only go back and wait. Otherwise, you can go and steal ores." "Steal ores? The blackstone ores here can be stolen?" Mo Wuji asked in aghast, he never thought that robbing for ores could be said so publicly. The cultivator stared unhappily at Mo Wuji, "What are you thinking about? By stealing ores, I mean you can go to abandoned mining sites. That¡¯s what I meant by stealing ores." With that, he could no longer bo bothered about Mo Wuji and went to form his own team. So when he first arrived, those two fellas were actually stealing ores. No wonder why they were by themselves. "If you want to go to Mining Area 5109F, then form a team with me. If you¡¯re interested, then I¡¯m leaving." A cold voice sounded next to Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. Mo Wuji finally came to his senses; he discovered that there only a few people left in the house. The sect head and Lang Hao were still here. Besides them, there was also an old man sitting beside the sect head. The one speaking to him was a black robed girl. The girl looked very cold, but her appearance was incredibly pretty, she could even be compared to Cen Shuyin and Zhuang Xiyue. And with her mature figure, she looked even more enticing compared to the two. However, with her cold face and voice, people could tell that she was not an easily approachable person. "Of course let¡¯s go," Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say. He had just heard, that if he did not have a partner, he wouldn¡¯t be allowed into the mining area. This meant that this mining job required the cooperation between two people. The cold girl nodded, and walked to Sect Head Feng and displayed her bracelet. Mo Wuji also knew this; to enter the mining area, he needed to sect head to leave an imprint on his bracelet. He did not hesitate to take out his bracelet and pass it to Sect Head Feng. When Sect Head Feng was helping him with the imprint, Mo Wuji stared at Lang Hao and asked, "Dao Friend Lang Hao, why don¡¯t I even have a basket to store blackstone?" Lang Hao laughed awkwardly. Even though he knew he would hurt Mo Wuji¡¯s self-esteem, he still said, "Mo Wuji, actually you don¡¯t need any basket. The blackstone is extremely hard to dig, and your cultivation is too low¡­" "Even if I¡¯m not able to get condiments, there''s nothing wrong with giving me a bottle for the condiments right? Moreover, the condiment bottle belongs to me," Mo Wuji frowned and said. He was indeed grateful to Lang Hao for helping him to enter Longevity Sect. But Lang Hao couldn''t just leave him with nothing, and not even tell him anything right? "Since he''s a member of our Longevity Sect, then just give him one." Sect Head Feng said faintly. Since the sect head had spoken, Lang Hao could only walk to the neighboring house and fetch a basket for Mo Wuji. The moment Mo Wuji grabbed this basket, he knew it was not made from an ordinary material. He had never seen such a material before. After the cold girl received her imprint, she did not waste any words and directly walked out of the house. As for the matter of Mo Wuji asking Lang Hao for a basket, she acted as though she had never seen anything. Mo Wuji hurriedly followed behind her, he didn''t even know where the mining areas were. Seeing Mo Wuji leave with that girl, Lang Hao finally uttered, "I actually found a partner for Jia Qi..." Sect Head Feng did not seem to notice Lang Hao''s words, as he said, "Lang Hao, you gave Mo Wuji a basket, but you didn''t give him a shovel. How is he going to dig for blackstone?" "Sect head, you know it too, I got that Mo Wuji here just to help advertise for Longevity Sect. Wait till he sees how difficult excavation is, he will definitely come back to find me," Lang Hao said with certainty.

Chapter 404: Searching For Blackstone Chapter 404: Searching For Blackstone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I¡¯m called Mo Wuji, newbie. How may I address this senior sister?" As he followed behind this black robed girl, Mo Wuji took the initiative to greet her. He had just came to Half Immortal Domain, and because he didn¡¯t know anything, he was scammed by Lang Hao. Since this girl was his team, he naturally had to form good relations with her and get some details from her. After all, this was his first time excavating for ores. "Jia Qi." After that black robed girl casually stated her name, she looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s empty basket with interest. However, she didn¡¯t say anything else. What a weird name. Mo Wuji could see that this girl was not one of many words. Even though he wanted to ask more questions, he didn¡¯t want to create any ill will. When they reached the mining area, he would just see how she searched for blackstone, and he would just follow suit. At the entrance of Half Immortal Domain, there was a huge flying ship parked. Many cultivators were queuing up to enter the flying ship; Mo Wuji and Jia Qi joined the queue. The seats on the flying ship were very clearly labelled; there were various signs for Mining Areas A, B, C, D, etc. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi were going to Mining Area F, so they could only sit at F seats. Roughly two hours later, the flying ship started to tremble as it shot out towards the sky. Soon, Half Moon Immortal Domain was but a point in the distance. Besides Jia Qi, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t recognise anyone else on the flying ship. Moreover, he couldn¡¯t cultivate on the flying ship; he could only sit around idly until they reached the mining areas. Mo Wuji extended his spiritual will outside; not only were the lands black and murky, the surrounding air was also turbid, it was not as clean and pristine as Half Immortal Domain. Half a day later, Mo Wuji could no longer hold it in as he asked, "Senior Jia Qi, I want to ask you about a person. He¡¯s called Qiao Aolun, have you heard of him?" "No." Jia Qi¡¯s answer was very simple. After that single word, she did not speak any further. Qiao Aolun was the first Star Lord of Star King Mountain. According to Star King Mountain¡¯s records, Qiao Aolun had broken through the void. If breaking through the void led to these mines, that Qiao Aolun might actually be here. Seeing that Jia Qi did not have any intention of continuing, Mo Wuji did not bother asking about people like Meng Yinsan. Firstly, Meng Yinsan and the others were involved with Half Moon Prison. Secondly, Meng Yinsan, himself, had escaped from Half Moon Prison after killing the prison warden. This was some shady business. He was not close to Jia Qi, so it was best if he didn¡¯t ask aboutit. After flying for another day, Mo Wuji heard announcements that they had arrived at certain mining areas, and some people would jump out of the flying ship. After another four hours, Mo Wuji finally heard an announcement on the ship, "We¡¯ve arrived at Mining Area F." Following this announcement, all the cultivators of this area stood up, then jumped out of the exit of the flying ship. Mo Wuji and Jia Qi followed behind them. When he landed, he was welcomed by a vast, black wilderness. Here, Mo Wuji could finally feel the faint traces of a magical array. This black wilderness was separated into many different areas. Each areas would write their respective number. Clearly, this was not Jia Qi¡¯s first time here. She sped quickly along the signs while Mo Wuji followed behind her. After half an incense¡¯s of time, she stopped. In front of Mo Wuji, there was a sign: Mining Area 5109F. Jia Qi glanced at Mo Wuji, then swiftly ran into this mining area. Mo Wuji continued to follow behind her, entering into this mining area. His spiritual will had seen it clearly; the moment Jia Qi and him entered, the lamp at the entrance of the mining area lit up. "You can do whatever you want. Five days later, we¡¯ll meet back at where we dropped off from the flying ship," Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji and said indifferently. Mo Wuji was instantly shocked. After a few breaths time, he said, "Senior Jia Qi, I heard that excavating blackstone requires two people to work together¡­" "No need." Jia Qi directly interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s words." Firstly, you¡¯re unable to help me. Secondly, I don¡¯t want to work with you. The blackstone that I dig will be for myself, I¡¯m unable to give any to you." Mo Wuji was speechless; so this woman was afraid that he would take adcantage of her. Even when he was back on Earth, he would¡¯t take advantage of people. In such a place, all the more he wouldn¡¯t take advantage of a woman like you. "Dao Friend Jia Qi, I¡¯ve never excavated blackstone before, I just want to see how you do it. If I¡¯m unable to do it, I promise that I won¡¯t take advantage of you. If you know the uses of blackstone¡­" Mo Wuji had yet to finish his words before Jia Qi started to wave her hands, "I also don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t follow me." Thereafter, she did not continue to care about Mo Wuji, turning and speeding into the depths of Mining Area 5109F. Inside her heart, she was sneering. She found it hard to understand how a person like Mo Wuji could enter Longevity Sect. The moment he heard that she wouldn¡¯t let herself be exploited, he immediately changed his way of addressing her to "dao friend". She especially despised this kind of people. Mo Wuji shook his head speechlessly. Right from the start, this woman put up this indifferent mask, thinking that he would take advantage of her. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t behave warmly to this cold shoulder. Just like he would call Lou Chuanhe his senior, but he would address Bian Shuangbi as merely a dao friend. This sort of senior sister, he didn¡¯t want it. He wouldn¡¯t even address her like so. Ten people appeared not faraway. Mo Wuji did not recognise these people; from the looks of it, these people weren¡¯t from Longevity Sect. Without a partner, Mo Wuji could only start searching by himself. He had never seen blackstone before, he didn¡¯t even know what blackstone was. He could only depend on his spiritual will. Two hours later, Mo Wuji finally understood why blackstone was so hard to find. Even though this plot of land seemed to be vast and endless, it was completely filled with murky black rock and sand. It was indeed hard to find a similarly black and murky blackstone if he used his spiritual will to scan these black and murky rock and sand. This was not the main point; the main point was that Mo Wuji discovered that his spiritual will could only penetrate around 3 meters into the black ground. Any further and he would feel an faint pain in his sea of consciousness. If he forcefully tried to extend his spiritual will, his sea of consciousness would even start to bubble. The only good thing was, he could use this method to temper his sea of consciousness, allowing his sea of consciousness to get bigger and his spiritual will to get tougher. However, Mo Wuji knew that he wasn¡¯t here to temper his sea of consciousness; he was here to search for blackstone. And to temper his sea of consciousness, he would require a large amount of Spirit Strengthening Pills. Spirit Strengthening Pills could replenish the sea of consciousness, but it was merely an elementary grade spiritual pill. Now that he was at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, he needed tens of the Spirit Strengthening Pill in order to receive even the slightest of effects. A day passed by just like this. Not only was Mo Wuji unable to excavate any blackstone, he didn¡¯t even get to see what blackstone looked like. By the second day¡¯s afternoon, Mo Wuji gave up on searching for blackstone. He decided to look for other people and see how they dug for blackstone. After circling the area for half a day, Mo Wuji finally found two other cultivators excavating for blackstone. He hurriedly ran over. When the two saw Mo Wuji speeding over, they started to be on guard. Because of the distribution ratios of the mining areas, forcefully snatching blackstones did not usually happen, but it did not mean that it would never happen. "These two dao friends, because I had just arrived here, I don¡¯t know how to find blackstone. May I ask these two dao friends if you could teach me how to search for blackstone?" Mo Wuji was very courteous as he clasped his fists and asked. "Where¡¯s your partner?" One of the cultivators stared at Mo Wuji doubtfully and asked. Mo Wuji could only explain, "My partner thinks that my abilities are limited, so she went off by herself." These two people did not seem to find it here. There were no small amounts of people who found that their partners were incapable and decided to work by themselves. "Blackstones are usually found 3 to 30 meters under the ground. The deeper you go, the more likely you are to find blackstone. Under usual circumstances, one person would lock in to the blackstone with spiritual will, while the other digs." This cultivator did not hide anything; this was all common knowledge. "There¡¯s a need to lock in?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment. That cultivator that answered Mo Wuji chuckled loudly, "Of course. Blackstone has its own spirituality. The moment spiritual will touches it, it would quickly run away." After answering Mo Wuji, the two left swiftly. To them, there was not much value in befriending a newbie like Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji calmed down; no wonder why he couldn¡¯t find any blackstone. His spiritual will could only reach 3 meters into the ground. If he was lucky, he could actually find some blackstone. But after he found the blackstone, he still had to rush and dig it out. From the looks of it, this black ground must be very hard. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji brought out his Tian Ji Pole. With a casual swing, only a small bit of land was dug out. My cultivation was really too low ah, Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. His spiritual will could only seep in 3 meters into the ground. Still, he did not mind too much aout it, this place was able to temper his spiritual will. As long as he stayed here for a few decades, his spiritual will would get stronger, and his range would naturally get wider. However, he had an advantage that no one else had; he had the spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji released his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel. Soon, Mo Wuji was met with a pleasant surprise. Because his spirit storage channel was not controlled by his sea of consciousness, his spiritual will could reach up to 15 to 18 meters into the ground. And this was just the beginning. If he became more familiar with this terrain, his spiritual will might even reach 30 meters into the ground. Even if his usual spiritual will was tempered, it wouldn¡¯t reach such a level right? Mo Wuji decided, as he walked around this area, he was going to start using his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will. The depletion of his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will could be replenished with his sea of consciousness. As long as he didn¡¯t use spiritual will directly from his sea of consciousness, it would be fine. In merely four hours, Mo Wuji stopped. His spirit storage channel had found six blackstones that were joined together. Even though these six blackstones had the same colour as the surrounding rock and sand, Mo Wuji was sure that this was blackstone. He had never touched blackstone with his hands before, but his spiritual will did interact with it before. These six blackstones were roughly 9 meters in the ground. Indeed, when Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will interacted with these blackstones, they started to tremble. He did not dare retract his spiritual will. He was worried that when he did that, these six blackstones would run away. Chapter 405: Deep Waters Chapter 405: Deep Waters Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations While Mo Wuji locked into these six blackstones with his spiritual will, he hurriedly fetched out his Tian Ji Pole and started hammering the black ground. The Tian Ji Pole was not suitable for digging, and coupled with the fact that this black ground was hard and resilient, Mo Wuji could only condense lightning on his Tian Ji Pole in order to dig out this black sand. "Boom! Bang!" After two swings with his Tian Ji Pole reinforced with his lightning sword, a small hole around 30 centimeters deep was blasted open. Mo Wuji was now much clearer on how difficult it was to excavate this black rock. Luckily, he was still able to blast the black sand away. As long as he continued to use his lightning-reinforced Tian Ji Pole, he would be able to eventually reach 9 meters deep. Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy was brimming, and he even had several elemental storage channels. Even if he continuously struck downwards, he would not need to rest. After relentlessly striking at the same spot, black sand and rubble were continuously being sent flying. After an entire day, Mo Wuji finally struck out a hole which was 9 meters deep. Sweeping his Tian Ji Pole with slight spiritual energy, a few blackstones floated into the air. Mo Wuji did not wait for these blackstones to land on the ground. With a quick swipe of his hand, these blackstones landed in the basket behind his back. Mo Wuji brought the basket in front of him, and just as he was about to examine a piece of blackstone, he was momentarily sent into shock. Just now, he clearly found six pieces of blackstone, why did one suddenly go missing? Indeed, blackstone was able to escape off by itself. Even though he had locked in onto these blackstone with his spiritual will, one of it still ran off by itself without him knowing it. No wonder why the excavation of blackstone required two people: one person had to lock in using spiritual will, while the other had to dig. If not for the fact that his spiritual will was strong, and he was even using spiritual will from his spirit storage channel, it would have been extremely difficult for him to excavate the blackstone. Since that Jia Qi had gone off by herself, it seemed like she had her own trump cards. However, Mo Wuji did not mind too much about it. With his spirit storage channel, it should be relatively easy for him to find blackstone. The only problem was that it was too troublesome to dig up the blackstone. His Tian Ji Pole was clearly not suitable for digging. Even when it was reinforced by his lightning sword, he still had to take an entire day to excavate a few blackstone. Even though Mo Wuji was now a bit more experienced with excavating blackstone, he still felt that he should choose a more suitable spiritual equipment for digging. Casually grabbing one of the blackstones in his baskets, he found that the blackstone was roughly the size of a fist. When held in the hand, it felt warm like a jade, sending a soothing and comfortable sensation. When his spiritual will descended on the surface of the blackstone, he could only faintly feel some energy hidden within it. However, he wasn''t even able to discern what that energy was. Mo Wuji subconsciously tried to place the blackstone in his storage ring. However, no matter how his spiritual will tried to draw it in, the blackstone in his hand wasn''t moved. Shaking his head, Mo Wuji threw the blackstone back in his baster. From the looks of it, this blackstone was unable to be sent into storage rings, or the grade of his storage ring was too low. After covering the basket with a lid, Mo Wuji brought out a quasi-extreme grade spiritual spear. If he recalled correctly, he received this spear from Hoover. Because Mo Wuji didn''t use it, he didn''t care about it. However, to excavate blackstone, using a spear was more suitable. Unfortunately, he didn''t know how to forge equipment. If he did, he definitely would have forged himself a shovel. After refining the spear, Mo Wuji continued to search for blackstone. These blackstone could be exchanged for spirit stone slags. What he lacked the most was spirit stone slags. On the fourth day, Mo Wuji found another blackstone. This blackstone was also 9 meters under the ground. After spending close to a day, all the way to the fifth day¡¯s afternoon, he managed to dig the blackstone and threw it into his basket. This left Mo Wuji rather helpless; for the same amount of work, the received far fewer blackstones. From the looks of it, if he wanted to obtain large amounts of blackstone by himself, he would need to find a place concentrated with blackstone. Five days have already passed, even if he found anymore blackstone, he would not have the time to dig it. Mo Wuji simply picked up his basket and put it on his bag. Just when he was preparing to leave, a intense explosion of elemental energy attracted his attention. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will outwards and immediately saw a familiar face. Jia Qi was currently fighting with a cultivator, while another cultivator was spectating by the side. Mo Wuji guessed that this battle should be over blackstone. He wanted to see exactly how many blackstones were there. If there were man, he wouldn''t mind joining in the fight. Seeing Mo Wuji come over, the two people stopped battling, but they did not keep their magic treasures. "Friend, we''re fighting for the rights over blackstone. If you have no business, then please move away." The cultivator spectating by the side said to Mo Wuji indifferently. Indeed, they were fighting for blackstone. Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel''s spiritual will had already seeped into the ground. Soon, he found one piece of blackstone about 3 meters deep. Just one blackstone. Even though it was relatively shallow, Mo Wuji was not very interested. It was not worth it to enter a conflict just because of one blackstone. Just when he was about to leave, Jia Qi suddenly said, "He¡¯s my partner, why must he leave?" After hearing that Mo Wuji and Jia Qi were partners, the other two started to look at Mo Wuji with hostility. Just when Mo Wuji was about to deny his relations, Jia Qi continued, "There''s one blackstone here. I will give you two spirit stone slags." Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, "One blackstone can be exchanged for how many pieces of spirit stone slags?" "Under normal circumstances, ten." Now that Jia Qi wanted to Mo Wuji''s help, she no longer spoke as though each of her words were worth thousands of gold. The other two cultivators¡¯ gaze landed on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji looked just like an ordinary mortal, without even a hint of spiritual ripples. However, none of them dared to look down on Mo Wuji because of this. Being able to enter Half Immortal Domain, and even into a mining area, wouldn''t he also be an Earthly Immortal expert? If Mo Wuji and Jia Qi joined hands, they would have to engage in a huge battle before they could get that blackstone. "Sorry, I''m not interested." With that, Mo Wuji turned and left. Just for two pieces of spirit stone slags, he had to risk his life. Wasn''t this severely underestimating his efforts? Mo Wuji was also slightly disappointed, the blackstones that he worked so hard for were actually so cheap. One blackstone could only be exchanged for 10 spirit stone slags. He had dug up six blackstones, which were only equivalent to 60 spirit stone slags. Never mind, with these 60 spirit stone slags, he could at least cultivate to the advanced Worldly Immortal Stage. In the future, if he wasn''t allocated a mining area, he would go out and steal ores. To him, stealing ores and digging for blackstone in a mining area was not much different. His spiritual will could reach 18 meters into the ground; this was an advantage that many cultivators couldn''t compete with. "Your partner''s going, you still want to fight with us? There''s still half a day of time, if you continue to fight, then we wouldn''t continue to fight one on one." Seeing Mo Wuji leave, that cultivator that was battling Jia Qi said coldly. Jia Qi bit her lips. With a stamp of her feet, she turned and chased after Mo Wuji. ¡­ "You, wait for awhile." Jia Qi was quickly able to catch up to Mo Wuji. "What''s the matter?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. "You know that without spirit stone slags, even if you''re from Longevity Sect, you wouldn''t be able to last long? Don''t you want your little life anymore? I know that your cultivation is lower, but those two don''t know that. Moreover, we will have to leave soon, so we wouldn''t have fought that battle, and everyone would have to split it equally. Even then, you would have gotten at least one spirit stone slag," Jia Qi said grudgingly. Mo Wuji was not flustered as he said slowly, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, even if I don''t come to this mining area, I wouldn''t be chased out of Half Immortal Domain, right? Even though I¡¯m a newbie, I''m not easily fooled. I have already heard that as long as I have a bracelet, I can stay permanently in Half Immortal Domain, I don''t even need any of those spirit stone slags. At the most, I won''t cultivate." His tone was even a little derisive. Even though Lang Hao didn''t tell him many things, he was sure of one thing: as long as he had the bracelet, he wouldn''t be chased out of Half Immortal Domain. Jia Qi¡¯s tone was even more derisive than Mo Wuji as she sneered, "You actually believed Lang Hao''s words? It''s true, he didn''t lie to you. To stay in Half Immortal Domain, you only need the bracelet, and not the spirit stone slags. But did he tell you that to live in Half Immortal Domain, you need the Wood Dissolving Pill? Did he tell you that everyone preferred to stay within the Half Immortal Domain, instead of the lands outside, not because of the danger, but because the acute wood energy outside is too dense, and that would cause the woodification of your spirit channels? Wood Dissolving Pill? Woodification of spirit channels? Mo Wuji stared blankly at Jia Qi; he really didn''t know about this ah. Jia Qi did not stop, but continued to speak derisively, "Did he tell you that to excavate blackstone, not only do you need the basket, you would also need a Blackstone Shovel? Did he tell you that most of the spirit stone slags aren''t used for cultivation, but to buy the Wood Dissolving Pill? You don''t even know anything, and you dare to say that you would continue staying in Half Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji''s expression turned solemn. He knew that he had been scammed by Lang Hao; that b*stard actually scammed him quite badly. Previously, he was even very grateful to Lang Hao for helping him with the bracelet. Ten spirit stone slags ah, that''s one blackstone. "Many thanks Dao Friend Jia Qi, I truly didn''t know all these. Can I ask what''s a Wood Dissolving Pill?" Mo Wuji''s face was truly unsightly. When Jia Qi saw that Mo Wuji did not refute her words, she calmed down a little, "Half Immortal Domain is heavily enveloped with acute wood energy. This sort of energy would constantly seep into every cultivator¡¯s spirit channels. If you don''t find ways to remove it, your spirit channels would soon be woodified by the acute wood energy. Eventually, you will perish without a sound." "And the Wood Dissolving Pill is the pill required to resolve that acute wood energy?" Mo Wuji asked a follow-up question. Jia Qi nodded, "You''re right. The acute wood energy can only be resolved by the Wood Dissolving Pill and the Wood Dissolving Pill can only be purchased in Half Immortal Domain. Even though there are no rules, nor pressure here, there remains one difficult thing we have to do to survive here. That is to obtain Wood Dissolving Pill." "Why don''t any pill refiners concoct it for themselves? Why must they purchase it at Half Immortal Domain?" Even though he was still clueless, Mo Wuji started to feel a little uncomfortable. The water here was too deep ah, so deep that he could drown at any moment even without knowing it. "Because the Wood Dissolving Pill can only be concocted by metal-type pill refiners. Tell me, have you met any metal-type pill refiners?" Jia Qi lightly replied with another question. Chapter 406: This Fella Really Knows How To Act Like A Pig Chapter 406: This Fella Really Knows How To Act Like A Pig Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Wood Dissolving Pill can only be concocted by metal-type pill refiners?" Mo Wuji cracked up. He had obtained a jade letter from Tian Chi Manor''s Yan Huimeng. It was inscribed clearly on the jade letter, the names of all the metal-type pill refiners in Zhen Xing that have been taken away by the Valley of the Immortal Pill''s Lai Wanxing. This included even his Grandfather Mo Tiancheng. Previously, he was still filled with doubts on why Lai Wanxing would take away so many metal-type pill refiners. Now, he finally understood, that Lai Wanxing must definitely be related to Half Immortal Domain, and he only had one purpose in bringing all those metal-type pill refiners away: to concoct the Wood Dissolving Pill. At the end of the day, he was related to Mo Tiancheng by blood. Now that he knew something about Mo Tiancheng, he would definitely not leave it be. "If not, why do you think the Wood Dissolving Pills are so valuable?" Seeing Mo Wuji crack up, Jia Qi thought that Mo Wuji was in shock over the conditions required to concoct the Wood Dissolving Pill. Mo Wuji did not ask whether Lai Wanxing was here straightaway. Even if he wanted to know, he would have to do so by knocking around the sides. "Dao Friend Jia Qi, why did you tell me this?" Mo Wuji calmed down. He did not believe that Jia Qi would suddenly have a change of heart and tell him all these things. Jia Qi said indifferently, "Because I need your help. Because I always excavate the least amount of blackstones, no one is willing to pair up with me. Moreover, if you have a partner, when you find blackstone, no one would casually try to snatch it away." "So you want to continue to team up with me?" Mo Wuji said slowly. He had the spirit storage channel, so he didn¡¯t even need to team up with Jia Qi. "That¡¯s right. You know it too, besides me, no one in the entire Half Immortal Domain would want to team up with you. If no one teams up with you, you wouldn¡¯t be able to last for half a year. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try circulating spiritual energy. See whether there¡¯s an additional acute wood energy in your spirit channels," Jia Qi stared at Mo Wuji, her tone was very calm. Mo Wuji secretly used his reverse circulation technique. Indeed, there was an additional wood-type energy within his meridians which he had never encountered before. Could this be the acute wood energy?¡¯ Mo Wuji frowned slightly, and sped up his circulation throughout all his meridians, including his detoxification meridian. In merely a breath¡¯s time, that wood-type energy had been swept away by his detoxification meridian, and in the blink of an eye, it was converted into pure spiritual energy. So this energy could be considered a toxin ah, Mo Wuji discovered something important. Even if he didn¡¯t have the Wood Dissolving Pill, he didn¡¯t need to fear this acute wood energy. Indeed, it was best when you created your own cultivation technique. This reverse of the Immortal Mortal Technique was far superior to any other typical techniques. Seeing Mo Wuji frown, Jia Qi continued unhurriedly, "I believe you must have felt the acute wood energy, right? Team up with me, I don¡¯t dare say that you would have spirit stone slags leftover for cultivation, but at least you won¡¯t get your spirit channels woodified." Mo Wuji knew that he didn¡¯t have any spirit channels, and because he had the detoxification meridian, his meridians wouldn¡¯t get woodified. He had no need to fear this acute wood energy. However, he did not immediately reject Jia Qi. He knew that if this woman could excavate blackstone by herself, she was definitely not simple. "Can I ask, how long will one Wood Dissolving Pill last?" Mo Wuji asked extremely calmly. Seemingly feeling how calm and collected Mo Wuji was, Jia Qi was slightly astonished, "That depends if you are going to cultivate, and how hard you cultivate. If you spend most of your time cultivating, you would absorb much of the acute wood energy. If it¡¯s like that, you would need more Wood Dissolving Pills, perhaps 10 pills in one month. If you don¡¯t cultivate at all, and merely maintain your power, then one Wood Dissolving Pill would be enough for two months. One blackstone can be exchanged for three Wood Dissolving Pills¡­" Mo Wuji said, "That means to say, roughly three spirit stone slags can exchange for one Wood Dissolving Pill?" Jia Qi shook her head, "If you purchase Wood Dissolving Pills with spirit stone slags, you would need 10 of it, and you would get the lowest grade of Wood Dissolving Pill. So, except for an extremely small group of people, an average person typically wouldn¡¯t se spirit stone slags to purchase Wood Dissolving Pills." Jia Qi did not need to explain for Mo Wuji to know things clearly; the value of a blackstone was definitely much more than 10 spirit stone slags. "Then if I work with you, how would we split the blackstones we obtain?" When Mo Wuji thought about that blackstone that escaped, he felt that finding a partner might not be too bad. He did not have any problems with finding the blackstones, his only problem was with digging the blackstones up. When Jia Qi heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she speechlessly shook her head, and said indifferently, "You don¡¯t have a choice. If you want to survive, you can only work with me. As for the division of blackstones, I¡¯m sorry, there¡¯s no such thing. Every month, I can only give you one Wood Dissolving Pill." Mo Wuji was about to chortle in anger, "That means, I can only get one blackstone in three months? I want to ask Dao Friend Jia Qi, how many blackstones do you get during every trip?" Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji, a hint of ridicule could be seen in the corner of her eyes, "That¡¯s none of your business. I¡¯m finding you just so that I can get allocated a mining area. I don¡¯t actually need your help. To put things in another perspective, I¡¯m helping you." "Then forget about it, I don¡¯t need your help. Goodbye," With that, Mo Wuji turned and left. He possessed the spirit storage channel, so he did not even need to go to allocated mining areas. As long as there was blackstone, even in abandoned mining areas, he was able to dig it. Jia Qi was momentarily shocked. She thought that she had made things very clear, Mo Wuji could only survive by working with her. She never expected that Mo Wuji would actually reject her. "Then what distribution do you propose?" Jia Qi hastened her steps, landing beside Mo Wuji. Without a person to work with, it would be hard for her to be allocated a mining area. "1 is to 9. If you¡¯re willing, then we can be partners." Mo Wuji slowed down. "Alright, 1 is to 9 then," Jia Qi nodded. When she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, her impression towards Mo Wuji got a little better; at least Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t greedy. Mo Wuji only needed one look at this woman¡¯s expression and attitude to know that she was mistaken, he sighed as he continued, "I¡¯m 9, you¡¯re 1." "You¡­" Jia Qi was stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s words. She had met many shameless people, but she had never encountered a person as shameless as Mo Wuji. A Worldly Immortal probably couldn¡¯t even dig through the black ground. Now, when they were forming teams, he actually wanted 90% of the harvests. "If you say it like that, then how many blackstones did you manage to get this time?" When Jia Qi asked this question, she had already thoroughly given up on the idea of working together with Mo Wuji. "I guess, probably more than you." Mo Wuji said calmly. His words were not groundless; he was all too clear about the difficulties of excavating blackstone. He possessed the spirit storage channel, but he only managed to get six blackstones. It was just that he was lucky and managed to get five blackstones at a single go. He did not believe that Jia Qi was luckier than him. "You actually managed to dig for blackstones?" When Jia Qi heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she was momentarily stunned as she subconsciously gave up on her idea of leaving. In her perspective, there was no need to talk about Mo Wuji even being able to dig through the black soil. In five days, he probably wouldn¡¯t even have found a single blackstone. "Naturally. That¡¯s why, I don¡¯t need to team up with you. Without you, Earth would still continue to revolve around the Sun," Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t attentive with his words, he actually mentioned ¡®Earth¡¯. Luckily, Jia Qi did not mind Mo Wuji¡¯s words, her gaze turned to the basket on Mo Wuji¡¯s back, "Dao Friend Mo, can you open your basket and let me have a look?" The basket was covered by a lid which was sealed. As long as Mo Wuji didn¡¯t open it, no one else would be able to see what was inside. Mo Wuji shook his head, "That¡¯s not necessary. I still have to thank you for telling me many things, at least I didn¡¯t know about the Wood Dissolving Pill and the Blackstone Shovel." Jia Qi suddenly grabbed the basket on her back; she took the initiative to open it and say, "I managed to get two blackstones." Mo Wuji saw that there were indeed two blackstones lying within Jia Qi¡¯s basket; he instantly saw Jia Qi with a different light. If not for his luck in finding six blackstones at one go, he probably would have gotten two blackstones as well. "I got six," Mo Wuji opened his bastet ans said. Jia Qi stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s basket in disbelief, she muttered to herself, "There¡¯s really six¡­" It was only until Mo Wuji closed the basket when she finally reacted. With two shining eyes, she asked, "Dao Friend Mo, you don¡¯t have the Blackstone Shovel, and you¡¯re working by yourself. How did you manage to dig six blackstones?" Without a Blackstone Shovel, to dig six blackstones in Mining Area F was truly inconceivable. "That¡¯s my business. So, I don¡¯t need anyone¡¯s help. Of course, if you agree to the 1 to 9 distribution, I can consider forming a team with you. After all, it¡¯s better when we work together." Mo Wuji said nonchalantly. From his perspective, he really did not need to work with anyone. Jia Qi suddenly said, "Dao Friend Mo, do you know the value of blackstone?" She finally understood why Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t care about a single piece of spirit stone slag. This fella really knew how to act like a pig. If she did not see it personally, who would believe that an intermediate Worldly Immortal cultivator would be able to get six blackstones in Mining Area F in 5 days? Moreover, this was without help, without a Blackstone Shovel, and during his virgin trip to a mining area. Mo Wuji said emotionlessly, "I don¡¯t know. I did ask you before, but you didn¡¯t seem interested in answering me." Jia Qi¡¯s face turned slightly hot. She said awkwardly, "I don¡¯t actually know what the blackstone is. But I know that the value of one blackstone is definitely more than ten spirit stone slags, maybe even 10,000 spirit stone slags could not be compared to it. Even without Jia Qi saying it, Mo Wuji could guess that the value of blackstone was far from ordinary. However, he never expected that it would be so valuable. Not even 10,000 spirit stone slags could purchase one blackstone. But now, they have to sell their blackstones for ten spirit stone slags. "So what? These blackstones can only be sold in Half Immortal Domain right? If you have a large amount of blackstone, you wouldn¡¯t sell it?" Mo Wuji retorted with a question. Jia Qi suddenly stared at Mo Wuji, unblinking. Mo Wuji did not think that this girl would suddenly fall in love with him. Just when he was about to speak, Jia Qi said softly, "Dao Friend Mo, can I trust you?" Mo Wuji did not understand the meaning behind Jia Qi¡¯s words, he directly said, "I¡¯m not a person who shoots off one¡¯s mouth. If you have anything, just say it." Jia Qi nodded, "Actually, this is related to your vital interest. If you are really able to dig large amounts of blackstone, I can bring you to see someone." "Who?" Mo Wuji subconsciously asked. "A peerless smith," Jia Qi spoked hushedly, one word at a time. Chapter 407: Startling News Chapter 407: Startling News Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Smith?" Mo Wuji startled, and asked promptly, "Could it be that blackstone is a sort of smithing material?" Jia Qi shook her head, "I don''t know if blackstone is a smithing material, and even that master smith isn''t very clear." "Then why do you want to bring me to see a smith?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. "First tell me, are you able to excavate a large amount of blackstone?" Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not hesitate, "I do have this ability. But the actual digging itself is rather taxing, so I don''t mind working with you." "If we spend the entire five days finding blackstone, how many would you be able to find?" Jia Qi still wasn''t at ease, and asked another question. As for Mo Wuji saying that digging was taxing, she directly ignored it. How could digging be easy for anyone? Moreover, Mo Wuji was in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, and he didn''t have the Blackstone Shovel, but he could still excavate blackstone, that was already inconceivable. After a brief moment of contemplation, "I''m not sure. I guess that if I''m only finding without digging, probably around 10." "Alright, now can you swear that you won''t reveal what I''m telling you, then I will bring you to find that master smith," When Jia Qi heard that Mo Wuji could find 10 blackstone in five days, she asked directly. Mo Wuji laughed, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, meeting that master smith is not important to me. I''m not used to swearing. Goodbye." Working with Jia Qi was really of no importance to Mo Wuji. Moreover, that smith also didn''t know the functions of blackstone, so what was the point in meeting that smith? He was even asked to swear an oath then he can meet that person; he had no interest in doing so. Even if that person was an Earthly Immortal King, it would still be useless. "Wait, then will you reveal the matter that I tell you?" Jia Qi clearly didn''t want to give up like that. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I won''t, it''s up to you whether or not you want to believe me. I won''t swear, nor make you any promises." "Alright, I believe you," Jia Qi''s reply came as a surprise to Mo Wuji. Seeing Mo Wuji''s surprise look, Jia Qi explained, "A person that doesn''t swear easily, is the more trustworthy person." After a short pause, Jia Qi suddenly formed a sound proof barrier around them. She started to speak softly, "That smith can create storage rings." Mo Wuji stared at Jia Qi doubtfully; he had more than one storage rings on him, being able to create storage rings did not mean much to him. Looking at Mo Wuji''s expression, Jia Qi knew what was on Mo Wuji''s mind. She took a step closer to Mo Wuji and whispered, "He can create a storage ring that can store blackstone¡­" "What?" Mo Wuji stared at Jia Qi, this news was too staggering. Blackstone could not be placed into storage rings, it was definitely an item that was not of this world. It was also because of this that the Half Immortal Domain wasn''t afraid of blackstone being stolen. If a person could create a storage ring that could store blackstone, the moment this news was revealed, the Half Immortal Domain would immediately eliminate that person or control that person. No wonder why Jia Qi was so cautious; Mo Wuji finally understood the reason behind Jia Qi''s words. "I''m not lying to you, that master smith can indeed do that. And the materials used to create that ring, can be found in Half Immortal Domain," Jia Qi explained. Seeing Mo Wuji''s silence, Jia Qi continued, "Perhaps you think that these blackstones might not be useful to you, and you would rather exchange them for spirit stone slags. But let me tell you, if we manage to leave Half Immortal Domain one day, and enter the true Immortal Domain, these blackstones will be of utmost use." Mo Wuji naturally wouldn''t think that these blackstones were useless. Honestly, if he could conceal these blackstones, he would have sent them into his storage ring a long time ago. "Alright, I agree. After we meet that master smith, if he can really create a storage ring which can store blackstone, we can re discuss the distribution," Actually, Jia Qi didn''t need to explain any further. The moment Mo Wuji heard that there was a smith that could create storage rings which could contain blackstone, he would not hesitate to agree to work together with Jia Qi. A trace of emotion flashed in Jia Qi''s eyes, she nodded to Mo Wuji, "Come, we will talk as we return." "Wait, I have six blackstone here, I will sell you five then," Mo Wuji pointed to the basket on his back. "Ok," Jia Qi immediately understood Mo Wuji''s meaning. Since Mo Wuji intended to work with her, he would not want to reveal his ability to search for blackstone. With Mo Wuji''s cultivation at the Worldly Immortal Stage, finding too many blackstones at one go was indeed out of the ordinary. Fortunately, she had stayed in Half Immortal Domain for quite some time. It could be plausible for her to find seven blackstone if she was lucky. Actually, she had encountered such a situation before. Then, she found 12 blackstone at one go, and she managed to dig up eight blackstone. ¡­ The flying ship punctually stopped at Mining Area F. After Mo Wuji and Jia Qi boarded the ship, they did not discuss any further. There were too many ears on the ship; their matters were not suitable for discussion. One day later, the flying ship stopped outside of Half Immortal Domain. There was already a station outside of Half Immortal Domain to collect blackstone. Mo Wuji honestly entered the queue. Mo Wuji discovered that many people had taken out over 10 blackstones at a go. There were even two that brought out 20 over blackstones. However, there were no few of those that were like him, and only had one blackstone. At the same time, Mo Wuji discovered that among those that collected over 10 blackstones, after handing over the required blackstones, they would not exchange their personal blackstones for spirit stone slags, but chose to keep the blackstone. Keeping blackstone seemed to be accepted here. As long as you have enough blackstone, you would be allowed to take away your own blackstone. When it got to Mo Wuji''s turned, he did the same as the people in front of him. He took out his bracelet, then the one blackstone from his basket. "Mining Area 5109F, one blackstone, obtained five spirit stone slags," The cultivator collecting the blackstones took Mo Wuji''s blackstone away. At the same time, he took out five spirit stone slags and handed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew the distribution in Mining Area F was 2:3:5. That meant that for 10 spirit stone slags (one blackstone), he could obtain five spirit stone slags; Half Immortal Domain would have two, Longevity Sect would have three. "Can I ask whether my Longevity Sect''s spirit stone slags would be handed over here?" When Mo Wuji saw that this fella only gave him five spirit stone slags, he asked directly. Before that fella collecting spirit stone slags could answer, a figure flashed from the side and pulled Mo Wuji away. "Brother Mo, you don''t have to worry. Longevity Sect will receive it''s share from Half Immortal Domain, you don''t have to worry. I came to apologize to you¡­" The person who pulled Mo Wuji away was Lang Hao, his tone was incomparably modest. Lang Hao continued with an apologetic and serious tone, "Because of my mistake, I forgot to pass you a Blackstone Shovel when you left. I have already brought it over to you, I promise that nothing of the like will happen again." With that, Lang Hao brought a Blackstone Shovel out of nowhere and handed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart; this fella must have seen that he had returned with a blackstone, so his attitude changed drastically. Naturally, he wouldn''t be courteous as he accepted the Blackstone Shovel. He patted Lang Hao''s shoulder and said, "Dao Friend Lang is too courteous. You don''t have to put this matter to heart. It was because I helped Dao Friend Jia Qi, she saw that I had worked hard, so she gave me one blackstone. If I was by myself, I wouldn''t have even received one blackstone." Lang Hao didn''t get know whether Mo Wuji''s words were true or not. He awkwardly apologised again, and hurriedly bade his farewells. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered about him. He intended to go to an abandoned mining area to search for blackstones after this. There, he didn''t need to hand over any blackstones; all the blackstones he dug there would belong to himself. By this time, Jia Qi had also handed over the blackstones. She did not find Mo Wuji, but swiftly left by herself. Mo Wuji did not mind, he knew that Jia Qi must definitely be off to discuss with that master smith. She should be requesting for that master smith for permission for Mo Wuji to visit him. Mo Wuji did not have a hint of worry, he was sure that master smith would definitely agree. If Jia Qi had not revealed the master smith¡¯s matter to him, that smith would have control. But now that this matter had already been revealed, the control was now in his hands. Unless that master smith found a person to kill him. From this, he could see, while Jia Qi might be of a higher cultivation, her experience and wisdom could not be compared to him. As for sending a person to kill him, Mo Wuji was not afraid despite being only at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4. Thus, Mo Wuji did not go to Longevity Sect to find Lang Hao, but returned to his own residences to wait for Jia Qi''s news. ¡­ In a small house fort at the outermost region of Half Immortal Domain, the black robed Jia Qi was behaving respectfully in front of a heavily bearded man. This heavily bearded man was frowning in contemplation, seemingly digesting the news that Jia Qi had just fed him. After half an incense''s time, he sighed and said, "Since that''s the case, then I''ll meet him." Jia Qi heaved a sigh of relief, and spoke with guilt, "Big Brother Pu Zi, I was too careless. I should not have revealed the matter about you." The bearded man waved his hand, "Jia Qi, this is not your fault. Even though this person¡¯s cultivation is low, if I''m not wrong, he should be an experienced man. He played with your psychology, which caused you to impatiently reveal my existence. Only if you did that, would you have the chips to bargain with him. Anyway, what¡¯s done cannot be undone. Just call him over then, if this person has malicious intentions, even if I die in Half Immortal Domain, I wouldn¡¯t forge a storage ring for him." ¡­ At his own residences, Mo Wuji was still wondering over the uses of blackstone. According to his observation, blackstone seemed to contain some unfathomable energy, something that he had never seen before. Two hours later, the restrictions that he installed outside his residences was disturbed. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will outwards and immediately discovered that Jia Qi had arrived. Seeing Mo Wuji walk out, Jia Qi did not enter Mo Wuji''s residences, but stood outside and say, "Dao Friend Mo, if you have nothing on, why don''t you follow me for a look?" Chapter 408: You Don’t Dare; I’m Not Afraid Chapter 408: You Don¡¯t Dare; I¡¯m Not Afraid Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This master smith¡¯s immortal estate was actually a small stone fort? As Mo Wuji stood outside the stone fort and scanned it with his spiritual will, he could tell that this smith¡¯s array knowledge was no worse than his. The periphery of the stone fort was installed with all sorts of hidden trigger arrays and trap arrays. If one didn¡¯t understand arrays, he would be easily trapped within. Thereafter, if the person controlling the array attacked, the chances of survival would be close to zero. "Dao Friend Mo, you can follow me in. Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen," As Jia Qi saw Mo Wuji sizing the stone fort up, she took the initiative to say. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, and unhesitantly walked into the stone fort. Even if something happens, he wouldn¡¯t be scared. These various arrays were indeed able to block him. But if Jia Qi and that hidden master wanted to take his life, it would be impossible. After they walked into the stone fort, Mo Wuji followed Jia Qi up to the second floor. The small stone fort¡¯s second floor only had one room. At the entrance, Mo Wuji could already see a man sitting in the middle of the room. "Master Pu Zi, I¡¯ve brought Mo Wuji here," Jia Qi said respectfully by the door. "Since you¡¯re here, come in and take a seat," The man in the middle of the room lifted his face; it was filled with a beard. After a simple acknowledgement, Jia Qi introduced to Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Mo, this is Master Pu Zi. He is a peerless smith. According to what I know, no one else in Half Immortal Domain can match him." Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze swept across this man. If Jia Qi didn¡¯t introduce Master Pu Zi, Mo Wuji would never believed that this bearded man would actually be a peerless smith. Even his name was a little weird just like Jia Qi, it was called Pu Zi. [1] "Mo Wuji greets the master," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and followed Jia Qi into the room. Mo Wuji did not know whether this Master Pu Zi was really an expert smith, but he could tell that this fella was definitely very strong; at least in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. "Dao Friend Mo, aren¡¯t you afraid that Jia Qi and I would suddenly attack, to keep you here?" Master Pu Zi¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s face as he spoke unhurriedly. Even though he did not emit any sort of killing intent, his words gave a threatening aura. Mo Wuji smiled faintly as he walked to a chair by the side and sat down. He said calmly, "You don¡¯t dare, and I¡¯m not afraid." Jia Qi and Pu Zi were both shocked. To Pu Zi¡¯s words, Jia Qi thought that Mo Wuji might reply: "I believe that you won¡¯t do that" or "I trust the two of you, which was why I came here". She never expected Mo Wuji to actually say "You don¡¯t dare, and I¡¯m not afraid". Mo Wuji was merely in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage; what emboldened him to say such words? There was nothing to fear with regards to killing him. Even if they killed Mo Wuji here, they would absolutely not face any form of repercussions. "Really? Then let me see¡­" With that, Pu Zi¡¯s entire body shot up. Following which, a huge fist moved towards Mo Wuji. As Jia Qi spectated from a distance, it looked like he was even condensing space as he punched towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji simply sat there, and he also punched out. From the looks of it, this Pu Zi was like him, he also knew a bit about the theories of space. This person could even condense space towards him, he clearly wasn¡¯t a mere novice. Mo Wuji did not feel any sort of killing intent from Pu Zi¡¯s body, so his punch also didn¡¯t contain any killing killing intent. In this punch, he also encompassed his minor accomplishments in the theories of space. "Boom!" The two fists met; elemental energy exploded. Pu Zi recoiled backwards like a broken string, while Mo Wuji did not move a single bit. Jia Qi stared blankly at Mo Wuji. She was all too clear about Master Pu Zi¡¯s power; even though he might not be the strongest here, his rich elemental energy far exceeded any advanced Earthly Immortal Stage expert. Mo Wuji was merely in the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, and he was actually too lazy to even stand as he matched fists with Pu Zi. Could it be that Mo Wuji was not a Worldly Immortal, but an Earthly Immortal? Pu Zi did not jump back at Mo Wuji; his heart was filled with greater waves of shock than Jia Qi. In that exchange of fists, he became extremely clear that Mo Wuji was indeed a Worldly Immortal. A Worldly Immortal could actually match evenly against him; that was simply terrifying. One must know that when they weren¡¯t using skills, it was actually a contest on the use elemental energy. "Kacha¡­" At this instant, a fracture appeared below Mo Wuji. "Dao Friend Mo has such a strong sacred art which could divert attacks," Pu Zi calmed his elemental energy and said in shock. Mo Wuji smiled slightly. He did not explain his sacred art but directly asked, "I heard from Dao Friend Jia Qi that Master Pu Zi is a peerless smith?" Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji and finally understood why Mo Wuji would dare say those words previously; he¡¯s really not afraid. In the blink of an eye, he changed the pace of the conversation, snatching the initiative for himself. When she was secretly admiring him, she was also sure that before Mo Wuji entered Half Immortal Domain, he must have been a peak expert of his planet, maybe even the leader." Pu Zi said proudly, "That¡¯s right. Below the Immortal Realm, I¡¯m the best among all the smiths." His tone was filled with self-confidence and pride, without a single hint of modesty. After that, he did not even wait for Mo Wuji as he directly brought out a silver ring, "This is a spatial ring that I forged. The space inside is definitely no less than our usual storage rings." Thereafter, a blackstone appeared within his hands. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was incredibly strong; he could see clearly that this blackstone had been taken out from the ring. Moreover, this blackstone was the same as the one that he had dug out previously. "I want a ring like this, what¡¯s the price?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. Pu Zi placed the ring on the table, and replied in calm, "In the future, give me 30% of your blackstone, and you need to find the materials for this ring yourself. Also, you need to agree to one condition." Mo Wuji stood up, "Since Master Pu Zi doesn¡¯t wish to discuss this business, then I will take my leave." "Dao Friend Mo¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji turn and leave, Jia Qi was slightly anxious. Pu Zi frowned as well. He now understood why Mo Wuji was so unyielding previously, so Mo Wuji wanted to tell him that they were equal, not some animal for him to control. "Dao Friend Mo, would you reveal the matter of me being able to forge these rings?" Pu Zi also stood up. Mo Wuji stopped and said, "I won¡¯t reveal it, but I won¡¯t promise you anything." "Tell me your conditions," Pu Zi said helplessly. Since Mo Wuji could leave unhesitatingly, Pu Zi did not dare take this risk. "Help me forge a ring, and I will help find the materials required to forge it. At the same time, just tell me the compensation you want. As for how many blackstones I make, will have no relations to you." "Alright, I want 1,000 blackstones. But you must promise me one condition," Even though he had only met with Mo Wuji for a short period of time, Pu Zi was already very clear of Mo Wuji¡¯s personality; Mo Wuji was not a person easily controlled. As for a percentage distribution of blackstone, even if he was much stronger, he would not be able to get Mo Wuji to agree. "Say it then, what¡¯s the condition?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone slowed down. "Just now, in your punch, you also integrated some rules of space. I hope that you could inscribe your understandings of space on a jade letter for me," After Pu Zi said that, he stared at Mo Wuji. Actually, this condition was the most important thing. "How long will it take to forge the ring?" Even though the Brief Theory of Space no longer had much value to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji did not immediately agree to this request. "You need to first help me find some Brilliant Curved Space Gold," As he said this, Pu Zi brought out a dim yellow rock the size of a soy bean and handed it to Mo Wuji. "Wait till you find enough Brilliant Curved Space Gold, then give me a year¡¯s time, I can help forge you a storage ring." Mo Wuji accepted the Brilliant Curved Space Gold and scanned it with his spiritual will, he instantly felt the energy of spatial laws. Soon, he passed the Brilliant Curved Space Gold back to Pu Zi, "Master Pu Zi, I agree to your condition, but I have too conditions of my own." Hearing Mo Wuji agree, Master Pu Zi instantly became spirited, "Dao Friend Mo, please speak." "One, I won¡¯t wait for a year. You need to give me your storage ring. I will find enough Brilliant Curved Space Gold as compensation. One year later, the ring that you forge will belong to you. Two, I have a ship that has yet to be completed. I need you, in an appropriate time, to help me complete this ship," After Mo Wuji finished, he did not speak and waited for Master Pu Zi¡¯s answer. "This is not possible," Master Pu Zi directly rejected Mo Wuji¡¯s request. This time, Mo Wuji did not turn and leave, but said seriously, "Master Pu Zi, my understandings of space comes from a jade letter. By reading what was on this jade letter, I was able to interact with space when I was at the True God Stage. You can only imagine how valuable this jade letter is. Honestly, if not for this place, even if you offer 10,000 times of what you¡¯re offering now, I would not give this jade letter to you." Master Pu Zi did not rebut. Because Mo Wuji¡¯s words were the truth. If not for this place, he wouldn¡¯t be able to use a mere storage ring to exchange for Mo Wuji¡¯s jade letter. Seeing the other party hesitate, Mo Wuji added, "Master Pu Zi, if you think about it. If I reach the Immortal Realm, how many of such rings would you need to give me in order to exchange for this valuable sacred art?" "Alright, I agree," Mo Wuji¡¯s final words tipped Master Pu Zi over. Master Pu Zi was a straightforward person, he agreed to it immediately. He placed all his blackstone in a basket by the side and handed his ring to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji roughly counted, there were merely over 100 blackstones there. After accepting the ring, Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will inwards. There was indeed quite a huge space inside. Thereafter, he retrieved a jade letter and inscribed all the content of the Brief Theory of Space into the jade letter, and passed the jade letter to Master Pu Zi. He could feel that this Master Pu Zi was not a cunning person, so he did not hide anything. If it was some other person, he might purposely exclude some pages of the Brief Theory of Space, and only hand it over after his ship was completed. [1] Pu Zi could directly be translated to shop, while Jia Qi actually translates to abandoned reeds. Very rarely, do people have names with such meaning. Chapter 409: Abandoned Mining Area Chapter 409: Abandoned Mining Area Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even as the walked out of Master Pu Zi¡¯s small stone fort, Jia Qi was still in disbelief; Mo Wuji was actually able to get Master Pu Zi to give up his personal storage ring. Before the actual exchange, she wouldn¡¯t have believed that such a thing would happen. "I really never imagined that Master Pu Zi would really pass you the storage ring," After she calmed down, Jia Qi sighed with emotions. Mo Wuji laughed, "This is merely a trade of mutual benefits. This ring could only used in a place like this, but my Brief Theory of Space is an invaluable treasure." Jia Qi nodded, Mo Wuji was right. For a treasure like the Brief Theory of Space, if it was somewhere else, a mere storage ring would never be able to exchange for it. "Dao Friend Jia Qi, usually how many times would mining areas be allocated every month?" After Mo Wuji obtained the storage ring, he was raring to go out and search for blackstone. He needed spirit stone slags to raise his power rapidly. In a place like this, the most straightforward method to obtain spirit stone slags was by excavating blackstone. "Roughly three times every month. When they are allocating mining areas, they will inform us through the bracelet," Jia Qi replied. Mo Wuji looked at his own bracelet. Things were written clearly on his bracelet; they would be allocating mining areas three days later. Seeing Mo Wuji look at his bracelet, Jia Qi continued, "For the allocation of mining areas three days later, you don¡¯t have to go so early." "Why?" Mo Wuji stared at Jia Qi quizzically. He knew that going earlier would result in better mining areas. Even though he did not intend to go to those mining areas, he still didn¡¯t understand Jia Qi¡¯s words. Jia Qi laughed self-deprecatingly, "Every organisation has their own hidden rules. Even if you¡¯re the first to go, with your qualifications, you wouldn¡¯t be allocated the best mining areas. Even if you¡¯re the first to find a partner, you will find that you wouldn¡¯t be able to find a partner. According to those hidden rules, no one would want to work with you." "I can find you ah?" Mo Wuji said. Jia Qi shook her head, "That would be for the first time only. After we succeed the first time, there wouldn¡¯t be a second time. We would soon be expelled of the Longevity Sect. So going early and getting better mining areas does not apply to everybody." Mo Wuji was speechless. What he thought was very fair, turned out to be untrue. Indeed, when there are people, there will be politics. As long as there are politics, there would not be fairness. "We can¡¯t go too late as well. We can¡¯t get the best mining area, but we can still go for the second best. As long as you can maintain that ability to find blackstone, we would soon make a fortune," Jia Qi explained. Mo Wuji shook his head and said seriously, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, I¡¯m not clear of your abilities. So before we come up with anything specific, we need to see you display your abilities. Then, we will start, how about that?" Jia Qi did not hesitate to say, "Alright, I also have that same intention." In reality, to Jia Qi, she did not know how Mo Wuji¡¯s ability worked. Thus, it would not be appropriate for them to discuss on how they would divide the blackstones yet. "I have an idea. That is we won¡¯t go to Longevity Sect to get mining areas, but go to abandoned mining areas. Which are the relatively better abandoned mines? I hope that you can bring me to take a look," Mo Wuji looked at Jia Qi and said. "Abandoned mining areas? You want to steal ores?" Jia Qi looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Even though there were quite a number of people who steal ores, the ones that actually succeed were only a few. Even in multiple days, they might not be able to find a single blackstone. "Don¡¯t make it sound so bad; we are merely checking the mining area," Even though Mo Wuji knew that stealing ores was normal and not illegal, Mo Wuji felt very disturbed when he heard it. Jia Qi said seriously, "Dao Friend Mo, many newbies have the same idea as you. However, they soon learn that they need to honestly find a group, and honestly excavate at an allocated mining area. All the abandoned mining areas are practically completely excavated. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the nets, the number of them is extremely little. A large number of those cultivators that steal ores are merely wasting their time and their efforts." "But I still want to see the abandoned mining areas," Mo Wuji responded. Jia Qi laughed, "Dao Friend Mo, you are actually making a wrong move. Thing about it, you have the storage ring. If you dig 10 blackstones, you just need to take two out for them. Thus, the ratios for Half Immortal Domain and Longevity Sect wouldn¡¯t affect us much." How could Mo Wuji have ignored this fact. He had been to Mining Area F, and in a few days time, he only managed to find seven blackstones. In other words, the worse mining areas weren¡¯t even good places to excavate. Thus, he wanted to look at those top graded mining areas. Even if they¡¯re abandoned, it wouldn¡¯t make a difference to him. Because the deeper areas of the mining areas should still be untouched territory. "I just want to take a look. Take me to the best mining area," Mo Wuji maintained his view. When Jia Qi saw how obstinate Mo Wuji was, she could only say, "Alright, I will bring you to Mining Area 6A. That was one of the earliest mining areas, and it has long been abandoned. It could also be considered the best mining area. I heard that once, someone found over 1000 blackstones at a single go. Thereafter, some people went to Mining Area 6A after it was abandoned to steal blackstones, but none of them seemed to be able to receive any rewards. Because every inch of that mining area, had already been excavated." "Then let¡¯s go to Mining Area 6A, and we¡¯ll go right now," Mo Wuji promptly decided. He really wanted to know, in these better mining areas, were there still blackstone in the deeper regions. Mo Wuji had displayed his ability and capability; since Jia Qi wanted to work with Mo Wuji, she naturally did not reject him. Moreover, it was still a few days time before the next allocation of mining areas. ¡­ Six hours later, Mo Wuji and Jia Qi stopped. In front of them, was a stretch of black land. The only difference was, there seemed to be faint traces of red soil within this black land. "This is Mining Area 6A?" Mo Wuji looked at the black soil in front of him, it really looked like the entire area had been flipped over. Jia Qi answered, "Yes, Mining Area A has the best mining areas, and the smaller the number, the closer they are to the blackstone ores. Mining Area 6A was once the best mining area in Half Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji entered the mining area and scanned outwards with his spiritual wil. He confirmed that there was no other person in the surroundings. His spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will had already entered into the black soil beneath him. In half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji discovered the first blackstone. However, this blackstone was roughly 15 meters into the ground so Mo Wuji did not tell Jia Qi. For this single blackstone that was so deep under, he really wasn¡¯t interested in excavating it. Jia Qi followed behind Mo Wuji, she didn''t even bother using her spiritual will to search for blackstone. For a place which had been thoroughly excavated before, she wouldn¡¯t do such a useless action. After Mo Wuji knew that this place was indeed unsuitable for excavation, she would discuss with Mo Wuji their plans for three days later. Mo Wuji¡¯s pace was not fast, nor was it slow. Just like that, two hours passed. This place really deserved to be called Mining Area A. In this short period of time, he already found 17 blackstones. Back when he was in Mining Area F, he didn¡¯t find such dense amounts of blackstone. What left Mo Wuji disappointed was that these 17 blackstones were not what he wanted. The most shallow ones were at least 9 meters down. He felt that this was not worth it; to just dig like this would be a waste of effort. Mo Wuji wanted to find a dense cluster of blackstone, that would save time. "Dao Friend Mo, even if you search for another few days, the results would be the same. This place has already been thoroughly excavated, it¡¯s hard to find any more new blackstones¡­" Seemingly feeling Mo Wuji¡¯s disappointment, Jia Qi advised by the side. Just when Mo Wuji was about to explain that he had already found blackstone, just that there were very scattered, he noticed blackstones in a snowflake like arrangement. After roughly counting it, there were actually 30 of them, and they were not deep, around 12 to 15 meters. "Let¡¯s start digging here," After Mo Wuji locked into the 30 blackstones with his spiritual will, he pointed to the ground. "Ah¡­" Jia Qi stared at Mo Wuji doubtfully. This place had been dug before, you want to dig it again? Mo Wuji did not explain but he had already taken out his Blackstone Shovel and started digging. With the bolstering of his elemental energy, the Blackstone Shovel was actually must more effective that his Tian Ji Pole and spear. In a single scoop, he was able to dig up 30 centimeters of black soil, and he didn''t even need to use the support of any skills. Seeing Mo Wuji start digging, Jia Qi could only follow suit and dig behind Mo Wuji. With Jia Qi¡¯s first shovel, Mo Wuji knew that in terms of digging the black soil, Jia Qi was much stronger than him. He could only reach a depth of 30 centimeters at each time, while Jia Qi could reach 60 centimeters. The lower they went, the harder the blacksoil. Jia Qi was very experienced, she would choose the most suitable spot to shovel. Mo Wuji followed behind her, saving a lot of effort and time. Not bad, this partnership was still okay. Previously, Mo Wuji took one day to reach 9 meters. But now, with Jia Qi, they merely took 2 hours to reach 9 meters. Not only that, the energy Mo Wuji used was much lesser. "Dao Friend Mo, digging on would be a waste¡­" When they reached 9 meters, Jia Qi could not hold it in and say. This could be her first time digging aimlessly. Mo Wuji continued to dig as he said, "Don¡¯t worry. By the time you reach 15 meters, you will see the results." "15 meters?" Jia Qi¡¯s hand started to tremble. In the entire Half Immortal Domain, those whose spiritual will could reach 6 meters into the ground could already be considered an expert. If they could reach 9 meters, they would be one of the best excavators here. Those people don¡¯t even need to dig personally, they just needed to move their lips and they would get large piles of blackstone. There was only one expert, that could reach 10.5 meters into the ground with his spiritual will, and he couldn¡¯t hold it for long. Mo Wuji said 15 meters? Was he scamming her or was this bullsh*t? Chapter 410: Huge Whirlpool Chapter 410: Huge Whirlpool Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Jia Qi¡¯s spiritual will entered the ground. However, at such a depth, there was a huge restraint to her spiritual will. Her spiritual will could only reach 1.5 meters before it stopped. Following her use of spiritual will, her digging speed slowed down. Mo Wuji immediately noticed the change in Jia Qi, he promptly said, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, don¡¯t distract yourself. He used his spiritual will to lock in to those 30 blackstones, and he was also digging; this was already enough to cause him to pant. If Jia Qi was distracted, it would be much more exhausting for him. Moreover, while this place was remote, could they be sure that no one else would come? The moment someone came, there wouldn''t be anything good for them. "Alright, I know," Jia Qi hurriedly retracted her spiritual will and wholeheartedly started to dig. In another two hours, the Blackstone Shovel in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand suddenly twisted, and with a sweep of elemental energy, tens of blackstone flew out from the ground, landing in the basket on his back. Jia Qi saw the blackstones brought out by Mo Wuji, and promptly stopped digging. She stared inside the basket on Mo Wuji¡¯s back in aghast, not uttering a word for a long time. There were 30 blackstones inside the basket. In just half a day, she and Mo Wuji managed to excavate 30 blackstone? Mo Wuji waved his hand, sending the loose soil back into the hold. Compressing it with his elemental energy, the place now looked normal. "Dao Friend Mo, there¡¯s 30¡­" At this instant, Jia Qi finally came back to her senses as she stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s basket and said. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right, we managed to get 30 blackstones this time. Actually, I already found some scattered blackstones just now, but I was too lazy to take them. Otherwise, we would have wasted our time." Jia Qi was instantly agitated, "Dao Friend Mo, you¡¯re saying, you really can find blackstone as deep as 15 meters?" Mo Wuji did not hide anything. Anyway, they were going to work together in the future, "That¡¯s right, I can find blackstone as deep as 15 meters. Dao Friend Jia Qi, I¡¯ve already seen your capabilities in digging, now let¡¯s discuss how we are going to distribute this." Actually, when Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel was displayed to the max, it could even find blackstone as deep as 18 to 21 meters into the ground. What¡¯s there left to discuss? There¡¯s no need to talk about 1 is to 9. Even if it was 0.5 to 9.5, she would agree. She was very sure, if Mo Wuji revealed that his spiritual will could reach 15 meters into the black soil, no one in the entire Half Immortal Domain would be unwilling to work with him, even if Mo Wuji only offered that 0.5 She believe that Mo Wuji would not reveal his abilities in Half Immortal Domain. Even though he would be very well-regarded, he would also be in utmost danger. How would the Half Immortal Domain leave a blackstone finding expert like Mo Wuji alone? "In the future, I will take 7, you will take 2," Mo Wuji said. He knew that giving 20% to Jia Qi was indeed a lot. However, he wanted to thank Jia Qi, without Jia Qi, his abilities would still go to waste. Moreover, Jia Qi was a good digger, he needed this sort of help. Moreover, by giving Jia Qi enough benefits, she would help him keep this secret. "Ah¡­" Jia Qi was stunned, and she said immediately, "That¡¯s too much." It¡¯s indeed too much. If she¡¯s given 20%, then out of those 30 blackstones, she would have given 6. And this was just in a single day. To obtain 6 blackstones in one day, that¡¯s simply heaven defying. "I hope that you won¡¯t reveal my power, just like how you¡¯re keeping Master Pu Zi¡¯s secret," Mo Wuji said. This matter was very important. Jia Qi promptly said, "Dao Friend Mo, you can rest assured. I, Jia Qi, swear that I will not reveal your secret, otherwise, I will be struck to death by lightning." Mo Wuji nodded, he could trust Jia Qi. "Dao Friend Jia Qi, which planet were you from? Honestly, when I first heard your name, I felt that it was a little strange," Now that the two have struck up an agreement, their relationships were no longer the same. At least in Half Immortal Domain, they were considered in an alliance. Jia Qi sighed lightly and said, "I¡¯m from the Complete River Planet. Because my family conditions were too poor to sustain live, I was abandoned by my father when I was born. My father threw me by a patch of reeds. Fortunately, my master passed by and picked me up, naming me Jia Qi." [1] Hearing Jia Qi¡¯s words, Mo Wuji instantly went silent. When Jia Qi was young, she was abandoned by reeds, which was why she got her name Jia Qi. He thought of Cen Shuyin; Shuyin and her mother was also abandoned by her father. Because of his relations with Shuyin, he suddenly felt much closer to Jia Qi. Jia Qi did not know that Mo Wuji had thought of his lover, as she continued, "Actually, Master Pu Zi is the same. He was once an ordinary mortal, his father was a blacksmith, and they had a shop at a busy street. This shop was the source of their family¡¯s income, and it was also the root of his father¡¯s life. However, because that street was too busy, they were robbed. His parents were killed while he managed to escape with his life. Thus, he changed his name to Pu Zi. One was to remember his parents, two was to remind himself of revenge." "Did he manage to take his revenge?" Mo Wuji suddenly felt some sympathy for the bearded smith. Jia Qi nodded, "Yes, the thief who robbed his shop had been killed by him. Actually, the entire empire was destroyed by him. The reason why Master Puzi chose smithing, was also in remembrance of his father." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; indeed, everyone had their own tragedies, albeit, him, Shuyin, Jia Qi or Pu Zi. "Dao Friend Mo, just now you said you¡¯ll get 7 while I get 2. What about the remaining 1?" After chatting with Mo Wuji, Jia Qi also felt that her relationship with Mo Wuji had gotten much closer. The reason why she asked this question, was because she knew that Mo Wuji would not give this 10% to Master Pu Zi. In her eyes, Mo Wuji was a very demarcative person. His trade with Pu Zi had already ended, so he would not provide anything further. Mo Wuji answered, "I still have a friend. My guess is that he will be coming over in a few days time. I left this last 1 for him." Mo Wuji was talking about Lou Chuanhe. He chose to leave these 10% to Lou Chuanhe, not because Lou Chuanhe was a Star Lord of Star King Mountain. After all, he was also a Star Lord. Instead, it was because he appreciated a person like Lou Chuanhe; a person that would give his all for Zhen Xing. Compared to Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao, Lou Chuanhe was more of his wavelength. Jia Qi did not ask any further. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s business, even if he didn¡¯t give this 10% away, she wouldn¡¯t mind. ¡­ Now that they had already worked together before, Jia Qi and Mo Wuji now had tacit understanding with one another. Mining Area A was truly a solid mining area. As Mo Wuji continued to search for blackstone, he would at least get three blackstones at one go. He would directly ignore anything less than three. In a short five days, the two had dug 738 blackstones. There was once, Mo Wuji found 102 blackstones at one go. "Dao Friend Jia, I intend to go exchange for some spirit stone slags, then go behind closed doors. The more she dug, the more spirited Jia Qi got. Mo Wuji, however, did not wish to continue digging. He wanted to go back and cultivate. Even though these blackstones were very precious, he would still exchange some of them for spirit stone slags for cultivation. In this excavation, the main player was still Mo Wuji. Since Mo Wuji wanted to return, Jia Qi had to return too. "Dao Friend Mo, before you cultivate, remember to exchange for Wood Dissolving Pills," Jia Qi reminded. She was very satisfied, in just a few days, she was able to obtain 150 blackstones. If it was in the past, she would never have gotten so many blackstones even after years. Mo Wuji¡¯s detoxification meridian could resolve the acute wood energy. So he naturally didn¡¯t need the Wood Dissolving Pill. However now that Jia Qi had reminded him, even if he didn¡¯t need this pill, he should still buy some of it. "I know. It¡¯s just that the exchange of spirit stone slags is so evil. After working so hard to get these blackstones, one blackstone can only be exchanged for 10 spirit stone slags, ah¡­" Mo Wuji grabbed one blackstone in his hand, feeling rather helpless. Jia Qi smiled slightly, "I know an underground blackstone exchange, one blackstone can be exchanged for 15 to 20 spirit stone slags." Mo Wuji thought of those people who chose to keep their blackstones previously, so it was because they wanted to go to these underground exchanges ah. With this sort of underground exchange, he naturally wouldn¡¯t choose to exchange his blackstones with Half Immortal Domain. "Then what about your blackstones?" Mo Wuji pointed at his ring. "My blackstones will temporarily be placed with you. When you cultivate, I will go look for the Brilliant Curved Space Gold," Jia Qi answered. "Alright," Mo Wuji did not appear overly courteous. Jia Qi was at the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal hence, she did not need to cultivate. On the other hand, he was the one who needed to raise his power. He took five blackstones and put them in his basket; these would be used to exchange for spirit stone slags. There was this good point about going to abandoned mines, Half Immortal Domain would not monitor his basket. "Oh right, I want to ask you about a few people. There¡¯s a pill refiner called Lai Wanxing, have you heard of him?" Mo Wuji thought of the questions he wanted to ask previously. Previously, he was not familiar with Jia Qi, but now, they could be considered comrades. He could ask this sort of questions. Jia Qi shook her head, "Never heard of it." "Then what about Meng Yinsan?" "Meng Yinsan?¡¯ Jia Qi stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment, "How do you know the genius Meng Yinsan?" Mo Wuji said in delight, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, so you¡¯ve really heard of Meng Yinsan?" Jia Qi nodded, "I¡¯ve naturally heard of him. Meng Yinsan was a supreme expert that managed to leave Half Immortal Domain, a genius cultivator. When he was in Half Immortal Domain, he welcomed the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, he passed the tribulation and ascended to become a Heavenly Immortal." "You can ascend into the Heavenly Immortal Stage in Half Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji was shocked, could this place really be a part of the Immortal Realm? Jia Qi shook her head, "No, only a few geniuses who have cultivated for a short period of time have the chance to face their Heavenly Immortal Tribulation in Half Immortal Domain." "Then where do they go?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. "I heard that these geniuses were selected by the Immortal Realm, and have gone into the Immortal Realm. They wouldn¡¯t stay with us here to dig for blackstone," Jia Qi¡¯s voice was tinged with envy. Mo Wuji went back into silence. He felt like he had entered a huge trap, or a huge whirlpool. Selected by the Immortal Realm? If he hadn¡¯t gone to Half Moon Prison, he would have believed Jia Qi¡¯s words to be true. [1] No wonder¡­ Jia Qi translates as abandoned reeds if you read my previous translator note. Chapter 411: Underground Deal Chapter 411: Underground Deal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao Friend Jia Qi, how did those geniuses enter the Immortal Realm?" As Mo Wuji asked this question, he also secretly raised his precaution in his heart. He definitely couldn¡¯t let himself experience tribulation in Half Immortal Domain. "I¡¯m not clear about the exact details, I only know that it¡¯s related to Half Immortal Domain. In Half Immortal Domain, there¡¯s a Dao Lord called Guang Quan. He seems to be related to the Immortal Realm. The blackstones that we dig, and the Wood Dissolving Pills that we purchase, should be deals with the Immortal Realm," Jia Qi replied. Mo Wuji did not ask any further. Perhaps the blackstones were traded with the Immortal Realm, but he was definite that the Wood Dissolving Pill was definitely concocted within Half Immortal Domain. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be so many metal-type pill refiners being kidnapped from Zhen Xing. This only added to his urgency and resolution to go back and cultivate. Even though he might not be a match for those in the Immortal Realm after advancing into the Earthly Immortal Stage, it was still better than remaining as a Worldly Immortal. "Come, let¡¯s go back. Bring me to the underground blackstone exchange," With his current power, knowing too much was also useless. "Alright," Jia Qi knew that Mo Wuji was rather mysterious, but did not hinder her trust for Mo Wuji. There were some people, who you would come to trust after interacting with them for a short time. There were also some people, who you would never trust even after knowing them for an entire lifetime. She believed that she did not make the wrong judgement of Mo Wuji. ¡­ Half Immortal Domain¡¯s underground blackstone exchange was actually an ordinary looking immortal estate. The only difference was, there was a sign hung at the entrance of the immortal estate: Forging Equipment. As he followed Jia Qi, Mo Wuji swept his spiritual will inside. It seemed to be an ordinary looking smithy. Compared to Master Pu Zi¡¯s stone fort, at least there was a huge smithing furnace as the center of the house. There was also a cultivator continuously modifying materials within the furnace. There was no one guarding outside this shop, so Mo Wuji and Jia Qi was easily able to enter. "Forging equipments or selling materials?" The cultivator at the furnace did not even lift his head, casually asking this question. "Selling materials," Jia Qi replied solemnly. The cultivator did not talk any further. All of a sudden, a door opened beside him. Jia Qi gestured to Mo Wuji, and walked into the small door. Mo Wuji knew that everyone was aware of this underground market; even the Half Immortal Domain¡¯s people probably knew of it. He did not understand why they had to be so secretive, and why the Half Immortal Domain didn¡¯t shut it down. After the two entered the small door, the door instantly went shut. Even with Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, he was unable to see past the door. He finally understood, this place was protected by a peak-grade array. Just like when he was outside, he was unable to use his spiritual will to notice this small door. The door led to a house. There were four people seated inside the house; at the center, there was a pale faced man, he looked very heroic. However, his triangle eyes spoiled his entire image, coupled with his baleful aura, he made people feel uncomfortable. On the left of this pale faced man, there was a man and a woman. The man was extremely thin, with a heavy aura of blood. This person looked like he had walked out from a sea of corpse and blood. This thin man was currently holding a sharp knife, cutting his fingernails. The woman was delicate and pretty, she was currently looking at the thin man cut his nails. On the right, there was a middle-aged cultivator. This middle-aged man was holding an abacus, and was currently staring at Mo Wuji and Jia Qi. Jia Qi took a few steps forward, clasping her fists as she said, "Greetings Lord Axe, my friend wants to exchange for some Wood Dissolving Pills and spirit stone slags." Mo Wuji looked at the giant axe behind this pale-faced man¡¯s back, thinking: This fella wouldn¡¯t be specially carrying this giant axe around because of his name, right? This man called Lord Axe seemed to recognise Jia Qi. His gaze quickly swept across Mo Wuji, before saying, "How many will you be exchanging?" Jia Qi didn¡¯t say anything. Regarding this exchange, she was only responsible for bringing Mo Wuji here. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Because I haven¡¯t been here for long, I don¡¯t know how to exchange for blackstone. How are the rates like?" A hint of ridicule emerged in the corner of Lord Axe¡¯s eyes, he said indifferently, "14 spirit stone slags for one blackstone." When Jia Qi heard the price of 14 spirit stone slag, she wanted to speak up. Lord Axe seemed to know what Jia Qi was about to say; he lifted his hand and stopped Jia Qi from speaking, and said faintly, "You¡¯re not exchanging blackstone, you don¡¯t have the rights to talk." Jia Qi sighed in her heart, and could only swallow down her words. Mo Wuji was instantly discontented, this fella was very arrogant ah. Anyway, blackstone wasn¡¯t very hard for him to obtain. If this fella continued to act so arrogantly, he really wouldn¡¯t entertain this dog sh*t Lord Axe. "Is the price the same for one and for 100?" Even though Mo Wuji was unsatisfied, he did not reveal it in his voice. "You¡¯re a newbie, you have no rights to talk to me about the price," Lord Axe¡¯s voice seemed to contain a hint of oppressive sharpness. "Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll take my leave," Mo Wuji turned and gestured to Jia Qi. "Weng!" Just as Mo Wuji turned, the sound of space splitting already reached his back. At the next instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure was sliced into four pieces. At the very next instant, a calm voice could be heard, "If you dare sneak attack me in the future, my pole will leave a hole of blood through your throat." Lord Axe suddenly stood up. Mo Wuji had suddenly appeared behind that thin man¡¯s back. Not only that, his steel pole was right behind the thin man¡¯s neck. That thin man¡¯s face had turned rather pale, the exquisite knife that he was using to cut his nails did not return to his hands, but landed at where Mo Wuji was previously, seemingly restrained by some sort of force. Cold sweat started to drip off the forehead of the thin man. He had experienced hundreds of battles, and he had reaped countless of souls. However, he never had such an experience when someone had soundlessly and mysteriously appear behind his back without him noticing it. A strong killing intent enveloped his entire body. Before he could say anything, that killing intent instantly dispersed and Mo Wuji had also disappeared from his back. Jia Qi stared blankly at Mo Wuji, she had never thought that Mo Wuji would be so daring. If they really started to fight, Mo Wuji and her would definitely be unable to make it out alive. "Haha, you indeed have the rights to discuss," Lord Axe chortled and sat back down. He could see that Mo Wuji was not a person he could trifle with. It wasn¡¯t because of that sudden retaliation of Mo Wuji¡¯s pole, but because of Mo Wuji¡¯s current location. Mo Wuji was standing at the foundations of the concealment array, telling him that if he dared to act, this array foundation would definitely be the first to be destroyed. This huge battle would definitely be noticed by the Half Immortal Domain, and his underground exchange center would be directly exposed. The more important thing was, just now, Mo Wuji had suddenly appeared behind Xi Sha¡¯s back, telling him that Mo Wuji was able of teleportation. Thus, Mo Wuji could destroy the array foundations at any moment. Mo Wuji nodded and kept his Tian Ji Pole, walking to Jia Qi¡¯s side. Just now, he looked like he could easily kill that thin man playing with the knife, but it wasn¡¯t actually such a case. He was indeed able to teleport to the thin man¡¯s back because he wasn¡¯t releasing any killing intent. The moment he released his killing intent, this thin man who had experienced hundreds of battles would be the first to detect it. Thus, he could only do that action without killing intent. But it was also because of the lack of killing intent, even if his pole pierced his opponent¡¯s back, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything much besides some injuries. That Lord Axe had also seen his methods. His real method was that he could easily destroy the array foundations. This sort of things need not be said, they only needed to be tacitly understood. In reality, if Mo Wuji used his teleportation coupled with his Next Pole, he would have a chance of killing that thin man. However, that was one of Mo Wuji¡¯s hidden cards, so he wouldn¡¯t casually reveal it. Moreover, he didn¡¯t need to kill that thin man. ¡®If it¡¯s below five, I can give you a price of 16 spirit stone slags. 5 to 10, I can give you 17 spirit stone slags. 10 to 15, 18 spirit stone slags. If you exceed 15, I will give you 20 spirit stone slags," Lord Axe did not point out Mo Wuji¡¯s method, but directly quoted the prices. Jia Qi nodded at Mo Wuji; this prices were considered not bad. Mo Wuji did not speak, opening the basket on his back. There were 17 blackstones inside. Jia Qi saw the blackstones in Mo Wuji¡¯s basket and knew that Mo Wuji had raised the number of blackstones that he was exchanging. Lord Axe stood up again. He had never seen a newbie that could bring 17 blackstones for exchange at one go. Even those old fogeys that have been here for thousands of years wouldn¡¯t be able to bring so many blackstones for a single exchange. "One blackstone for 30 spirit stone slags, and give me six Wood Dissolving Pills too. If you¡¯re willing, we will trade immediately. If not, I will leave immediately," After letting the other party see the blackstones, Mo Wuji covered the basket. He was sure that if this Lord Axe dared to start this underground exchange, he must have his own private road. Since this fella had his own private road, even if he asked for 50 spirit stone slags, it should not be a problem. Of course, the premise was that he could hand over more blackstones. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not take out so many blackstones. Taking 17 out was already a risk. If he took any more out, he would really be risking his little life. Even Jia Qi was shocked at Mo Wuji¡¯s quote. She had never seen a price that exceeded 20 spirit stone slag. Out of her expectations, Lord Axe did not seem to find it out of the ordinary, but said calmly, "If you can give me so many blackstones at regular intervals, I don¡¯t mind this price." Mo Wuji shook his head, "This would depend on luck. I cannot assure you the amount, but I can assure you that I will regularly have blackstone." "You¡¯re a capable person, I love working with capable people. One price, one blackstone for 25 spirit stone slags. In the future, we will follow this same price," The killing intent on Lord Axe¡¯s face suddenly disappeared, and he turned to speak in a warm tone. Mo Wuji was adept with spatial teleportation and arrays. He needed a helper like this. At this moment, he was thinking how he could recruit Mo Wuji. "Alright, deal," Mo Wuji said promptly. In business, it was always about bargaining with an unreasonable price first. Chapter 412: Mo Wuji’s Friend Chapter 412: Mo Wuji¡¯s Friend Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I was almost tricked by this fella but even if he really did attack me, he would at most injure me,"After Mo Wuji and Jia Qi left the place, the thin man who ambushed Mo Wuji commented. Lord Axe nodded his head before saying, "To be able to threaten to kill you, he definitely had some tricks up his sleeves. However, if possible, I do wish that a person as vicious as him could join us. He would definitely be of great use to us." The delicate and pretty woman suddenly said, "Xi Sha, he didn¡¯t lie to you because he really did have the ability to kill you in an instant." The thin man shook and said, "That is not possible because his sneak attack had no killing intent at all and he was only able to appear behind me because of his trickery. Even if he really did attack me then, my life wouldn¡¯t be at risk." "How do you know?" Lord Axe furrowed his brows as he looked towards the woman as if he recalled something. The woman said calmly, "Intuition, I could see from his eyes that he really didn¡¯t fear any of us. And that intuition tells me that he had the capabilities to kill Xi Sha in an instant." Listening to what the woman said, Lord Axe¡¯s expression turned serious and said, "Ku Ya, do you have any other intuition?" Ku Ya might not be the strongest one around but she had a unique ability which was her extremely accurate intuition. This was also the reason why Lord Axe would be so concerned about Ku Ya¡¯s intuition. "Lord Axe, I have a feeling he won¡¯t join us so there¡¯s no need to waste our efforts to convince him. Moreover, he is someone we should try not to offend because even though he had not advanced into the Earthly Immortal Stage, he feels terrifyingly strong to me," Ku Ya said in an extremely stern tone. "Sister Ku, aren¡¯t you being a little too sensitive? I have to admit that this fella had big guts and was also proficient in some arrays but he was still merely a newbie," Xi Sha frowned as he said this. Lord Axe waved his hand and stopped Xi Sha from continuing, "Ku Ya¡¯s intuition will never go wrong and I could sense an impending danger from that fella too. We have no direct clash of benefits with him so the fact that he could provide blackstones for us would only do good to us. The next time we see him, I will casually ask if he is interested to join us and if he is not interested, the less the trouble the better." Xi Sha looked suspiciously at Lord Axe because this was the first time he heard from Lord Axe that he would rather prefer less troubles. ¡­ "I can¡¯t believe you managed to sell the blackstones at a price of 25 spirit stone slags!" Even after they were already quite far away from the underground blackstone exchange house, Jia Qi was still in disbelief. "Why not? Isn¡¯t business all about negotiations?" Mo Wuji answered. Jia Qi sighed and said, "Do you know how many experts have died in that house? His nickname is Lord Axe and is extremely powerful. In normal circumstances, if he said no negotiations were allowed, he meant it and those who insist to negotiate would never be able to leave the house alive." "He wouldn¡¯t dare," Mo Wuji said calmly. Mo Wuji believed Jia Qi¡¯s words because he knew this was true the moment he was ambushed just as he wanted to leave. However, he was certain that the Lord Axe fella would not dare to do anything to him because the fact that he stood beside the array base showed that he was proficient in array dao. Given his spatial ability, Lord Axe would definitely not be able to kill him in a short period of time. As long as he tried to attack Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would immediately blast this hidden array apart so everyone would know of this underground market. "..." Jia Qi was momentarily speechless. She also recalled that Mo Wuji also said that Master Pu Zi wouldn¡¯t dare and ever since they stepped into the house, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t address him as Lord Axe at all. Jia Qi could infer from all these that Mo Wuji was definitely not someone who would put himself in any disadvantageous situation. "Dao friend Jia Qi, I want to go behind closed doors for my cultivation now and after I am done, I will put up a sign on my door," When they were close to his residence, Mo Wuji stated his intention to go behind closed doors to cultivate. Jia Qi knew that Mo Wuji wanted to cultivate so she nodded her head and said, "I will go look for the Brilliant Curved Space Gold and if Lord Axe were to find trouble with you, you could head towards Master Pu Zi¡¯s place." "Alright," Mo Wuji nodded but he really didn¡¯t need to be fearful of Lord Axe. Given his strength, as long as he was not trapped, Lord Axe would be helpless against him. ¡­ After returning to his residence, Mo Wuji immediately set up an isolation array and a spirit concealing array. Even though it was a little dangerous to set up an energy gathering array, for the sake of becoming stronger, Mo Wuji still decided to set up one. After setting up all the arrays, Mo Wuji threw out a pile of Earth grade spirit stones. Even though these spirit stones were of little help to improve his cultivation level now, he would still need it. Because he only had about 400 plus spirit stone slags available, if he combined the use of the Earth grade spirit stones as he cultivate, he could not only save on the spirit stone slags, the result wouldn¡¯t be significantly different too. After doing all these, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t start his cultivation straightaway as he took out a blackstone. He analysed this blackstone before so he was aware that there was a peculiar aura within the blackstone. Because he had never experienced such aura, he didn¡¯t really know why it was like that. Now that he had sufficient time on his hand, he took out the blackstone once again. The moment the blackstone landed on his hand, it still felt as warm as jade and it was even smoother and more comfortable than a spirit stone slag. As his spiritual will seeped into the blackstone, he was still unable to figure out what this blackstone was. It was odd yet it made him yearn for it as it gave out a very strong aura even though he didn¡¯t understand what it was. After a couple of hours, Mo Wuji kept his blackstone. Perhaps nobody ever bear to try breaking the blackstone to see what was inside but Mo Wuji was one who dare but he was simply unable to break it. This blackstone was even harder than any of the equipment he had and even when he tried using his Scholar¡¯s Heart to burn it, it didn¡¯t leave a single burn mark on it. No matter what his blackstone was used for, just its hardness alone proved that it wasn¡¯t an ordinary object. ¡­ "Dao friend Jia Qi, it seemed like you haven¡¯t been to the Longevity Sect to choose a mining area for a month already," A voice suddenly called out for Jia Qi who just walked past the entrance of the Half Immortal Domain. Jia Qi didn¡¯t say anything as she simply stopped in her tracks and looked silently at Lang Hao, who was standing in front of her. Lang Hao laughed out loud as he didn¡¯t mind Jia Qi¡¯s attitude towards him. He was aware of what type of person Jia Qi was and he knew she would never explain things casually to him. She only stopped so she could wait for what he was about to say. "Dao friend Jia Qi, the mining areas include Mining Area B and C¡­" Before Lang Hao could finish, Jia Qi interrupted him and said, "What has this got to do with me?" "If you were to reach early, you would have a chance of entering Mining Area C," Lang Hao hurried to explain. Jia Qi said faintly, "Sorry, I am stealing ores now so I¡¯m no longer interested in entering the mining areas." Lang Hao¡¯s expression turned ugly, "Jia Qi, you are still a member of the Longevity Sect. If everyone were to be like you and not go to the Longevity Sect, wouldn¡¯t the sect be a mess? If you don¡¯t wish to stay in the Longevity Sect, I have no issue with you leaving. However, if you choose to remain in the Longevity Sect, you have to choose your mining areas regularly." The moment Jia Qi stopped choosing mining areas, Longevity Sect would no longer be able to earn blackstones from her. "Since this was the case, I shall leave the Longevity Sect," Jia Qi said instinctively. Hearing that Jia Qi wanted to leave the Longevity Sect, Lang Hao panicked. Leaving the sect would require one to pay 10 spirit stone slags and even though a newbie would definitely not be able to pay that amount, Jia Qi could certainly afford it. "Are there still no news of Mo Wuji?" Suddenly, a voice was heard which made Jia Qi turned her head and tossed the matter of leaving the sect aside. She was considered to be an ally of Mo Wuji and since Mo Wuji was a newcomer, not many people knew him. Moreover, Lang Hao was standing right in front of her so who could be looking for Mo Wuji? "Dao friend Cang Xue, do not worry, the moment I have news of him, I would inform you right away. Oh yes, the distribution of mining areas would be in two days, make sure you come early¡­" Jia Qi turned and saw a tall man with a square face, tanned skin and a head full of red hair. She didn¡¯t recognise this man but she did recognise the cultivator who was talking to him, whom she recognised to be a fella from the Immortal Seeking Union. "Are you looking for Mo Wuji?" Jia Qi recalled that Mo Wuji wanted to leave a blackstone to a friend and she wondered if this person here was the friend Mo Wuji talked about. "You know him?" Cang Xue asked surprisingly. He had immense hatred for Mo Wuji and while he didn¡¯t dare to do anything to Mo Wuji in the space canyon because of the restrictions there which only restrained him and not Mo Wuji. Now that he had reached the Half Immortal Domain, he certainly had to find Mo Wuji for revenge. "Cang Xue, even if you¡¯re finding Brother Mo, are you even worthy to be his opponent? Don¡¯t even think of asking for help because if you dare ask me, I, Lou Chuanhe, would be the first to step out to kill you," Yet another voice was heard. Jia Qi saw the cultivator coming from behind and he looked like a space rogue cultivator wandering around as he was dressed very casually. However, his body brought along a respectable aura. "Are you Mo Wuji¡¯s nemesis?" Jia Qi finally understood what was happening as she looked coldly at Cang Xue. Cang Xue grunted, "So what?" "Scram!" Jia Qi waved her hand and a strong aura swept towards Cang Xue. Cang Xue felt as though a heavy hammer was swung towards his chest. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t like any other ordinary cultivator so he gathered elemental energy in his body and moved back simultaneously and was instantly able to dissipate the elemental energy surging from Jia Qi. "How dare you act against me, die¡­" Cang Xue sneered as he drew out his Crown of the Mountain and River ready to charge towards Jia Qi. "Dao friend Cang Xue, don¡¯t you want to continue living?" The Immortal Seeking Union¡¯s cultivator grabbed the fuming Cang Xue. "She was the one who started acting against me," Cang Xue said uncomfortably. The Immortal Seeking Union¡¯s cultivator shook his head in silence and if not for the fact that Cang Xue looked like an expert in digging minerals, he really couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk to an idiot like him, "She merely waved her hand, didn¡¯t attack you and had no killing intent. If you were to draw a magic treasure, you would be a corpse in the very next moment." Cang Xue¡¯s heart went cold as he immediately understood the situation. He was just a newbie in the Half Immortal Domain so he wasn¡¯t as knowledgeable as others in the rules here. The moment he made his move and the woman dodged, he would be dead. This woman was certainly vicious. Jia Qi sighed and couldn¡¯t be bothered with Cang Xue anymore as he turned to Lou Chuanhe and asked, "Are you Mo Wuji¡¯s friend?" "Yes, Dao friend, do you know where Brother Mo is?" Lou Chuanhe answered. "Yes I know, follow me," After Jia Qi said this, she turned and entered the Half Immortal Domain. Chapter 413: The Kind of Person He Was Chapter 413: The Kind of Person He Was Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This is Dao Friend Mo¡¯s residence¡­" Jia Qi brought Lou Chuanhe to Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal cave as she briefly introduced it. In the next moment, both Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe were astonished. Only after a few breaths¡¯ time, Lou Chuanhe asked in disbelief, "Is Brother Mo cultivating?" Lou Chuanhe had already been here at the Half Immortal Domain for a period of time and even though he hadn¡¯t join any team, the research he did during this period of time made him understand more about the Half Immortal Domain. He knew that in the Half Immortal Domain, one must not be crazily engrossed in cultivation. The greater the rate of cultivation, the faster the woodification of one¡¯s spirit channel. If one were to reach that limit, even the Wood Dissolving Pill would not work. The reason he was in disbelief was because Mo Wuji was not just cutivating but he was cultivating at a terrifying rate. One would not be able to detect the situation here from far away but the moment one approached this place, one would be to feel the surrounding spiritual energy pouring towards Mo Wuji¡¯s residence. They were only able to sense what was happening when they approached because Mo Wuji installed a spirit concealing array. "He was indeed cultivating behind closed doors but this is¡­" Jia Qi was also shocked at how Mo Wuji was cultivating so carefreely. If he continued cultivating like this, wouldn¡¯t he be destroying his spirit channel? She thought that Mo Wuji was simply using a few spirit stone slags to cultivate behind closed doors. Even though using the spirit stone slags to cultivate here would absorb the acute wood energy in the surrounding air, using the Wood Dissolving Pills would solve the problem. "I will get him out now," Lou Chuanhe was slightly worried because the moment his spirit channel was completely woodified, it would be over for him. "Hold on¡­" Jia Qi caught hold of Lou Chuanhe and even though there was mutual trust between Mo Wuji and Lou Chuanhe, her understanding of Mo Wuji was far deeper than Lou Chuanhe¡¯s understanding of him. After all, Mo Wuji and Lou Chuanhe didn¡¯t spend a lot of time together but because Mo Wuji found that Lou Chuanhe was very temperamental and was not a sly man, he was willing to interact with him. However, Jia Qi did spend a great amount of time exchanging benefits with Mo Wuji and she clearly knew what each of them had to do during this period of time. As she saw Lou Chuanhe looked towards herself, Jia Qi said seriously, "I have some understanding of Dao Friend Mo and I believe Dao Friend Mo would never do anything to harm himself. Since he did it, he must have his reasons for doing so." Jia Qi dared to say something like that because this wasn¡¯t the first time Mo Wuji made her dumbfounded. The first time he entered the Mining Area I, he managed to dig up six blackstones easily without a Blackstone Shovel. He made Master Pu Zi loaned him his storage ring to use willingly, made Lord Axe fearful of attacking him and even made him purchase Mo Wuji¡¯s blackstone at a price of 25 spirit stone slags. Additionally, he was even able to find over 700 blackstones in the abandoned mines in just a few days¡­ At the thought of this, Jia Qi realised that if not for the fact that she personally witnessed all these, she definitely wouldn¡¯t believe what she just recalled. However, all these seemed like it was bound to happen naturally with Mo Wuji. Of course, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t face any trouble cultivating behind closed doors. That¡¯s right, that was the kind of person he was. Lou Chuanhe also remembered how Mo Wuji was able to leave the space canyon so soon after he entered while they were trapped there for over thousands of years. It definitely seemed like this Brother Mo was something out of the ordinary. In addition to Jia Qi¡¯s convincing, he had already given up on trying to get Mo Wuji out of his closed doors. "Dao Friend Lou, you didn¡¯t join any team from the Half Immortal Domain?" Jia Qi saw how Lou Chuanhe was so concerned about Mo Wuji,she guessed that he should be the next partner Mo Wuji was looking for. She couldn¡¯t help but to admire Mo Wuji because given Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to find blackstones, it was definitely not sufficient for the two of them to maximise the potential benefits they could gain from this. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary for them to find another person to join their team and it had to be the right person. Lou Chuanhe certainly didn¡¯t seem like a sly person and looked like a very loyal cultivator. Since they were looking for someone to work with, they naturally had to find a trustworthy person like him. Lou Chuanhe shook his head, "I have been looking for a few days now and was intending to join one." Jia Qi immediately took out 20 spirit stone slags and handed it to Lou Chuanhe, "Dao Friend Lou, don¡¯t join any team for the time being. Go and make a Half Immortal Domain¡¯s bracelet for yourself and stay here. For the rest of the matters, we can wait for Dao Friend Mo to come out first." Lou Chuanhe shook his hand and said, "I am not even close with you and I don¡¯t even know how to address you so how can I use your spirit stone slags?" "My name is Jia Qi and I am a friend of Mo Wuji. Trust me and you won¡¯t go wrong because these spirit stone slags were exchanged by Dao Friend Mo. You will understand what I mean when Dao Friend Mo come out of his closed doors," Jia Qi insisted on handing these spirit stone slags to Lou Chuanhe. Lou Chuanhe could also tell that Jia Qi wasn¡¯t lying. He was actually full of admiration for Mo Wuji too because he had only been here for a while and look at his incredible progress. No wonder he could ascend to rank number one on the Universal Board and arrived at the Half Immortal Domain so soon after entering the space canyon. It was definitely the Star King Mountain¡¯s fortune to have a Star Lord like Mo Wuji. "Alright, many thanks Dao Friend Jia and I shall build an immortal cave beside Brother Mo¡¯s one," Since Jia Qi insisted, Lou Chuanhe had no reason to reject anymore. After watching Lou Chuanhe kept the spirit stone slags, Jia Qi sounded out, "I doubt Dao Friend Mo would come out anytime soon and in the meantime, you can search for a smithing ingredient called the Brilliant Curved Space Gold together with me. You don¡¯t have to worry about blackstones because Dao Friend Mo would definitely get some for you when he comes out." ¡­ Presently, Mo Wuji had hundreds of spirit stone slags suspended around him and there were also tens of spirit stone slags floating around both his hands. This was the first time he had the luxury to use so many spirit stone slags to cultivate. Back then, just tens of spirit stone slags helped him stepped into the Worldly Immortal Stage. Now that he had over hundreds of spirit stone slags, how could he let this chance to cultivate go to waste? The spiritual energy around him was split into three parts, the first part was the Earth grade spirit stones that he took out. Even though he had a large number of these spirit stones, the spiritual energy they contributed was the least. The second part was the spiritual energy within the Half Immortal Domain and the fact that these spiritual energy contained a lot of acute wood energy within in. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind as he was still able to swallow these spiritual energy at a mad rate. No matter how much acute wood energy there were in the surrounding spiritual energy, it was instantly purified by Mo Wuji¡¯s detoxification meridian and turned into pure spiritual energy for him to absorb. The third part was the most important source of spiritual energy which was the hundred over spirit stone slags suspended around him. At every moment in time, every single spirit stone slag would have spiritual energy being extracted from it before seeping into Mo Wuji¡¯s meridian. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was on a mad rise and the initially stagnant cultivation level had increased to Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5 in merely a month. It was only the second month as he entered the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 6 with no obstructions. Everytime he advanced one level, Mo Wuji¡¯s strength would appear to have increased as quickly as cell division. Concurrently, the speed and intensity at which he was absorbing the spiritual energy was getting increasingly greater. Fifth month, Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7¡­ "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s final spirit stone slags had been destroyed into broken pieces and Mo Wuji¡¯s strength stagnated at the Great Circle of the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7. This was already his eighth month since he entered the Half Immortal Domain. In just eight months, he advanced from Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 to the Great Circle of the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7. He was afraid that he could only achieve such immense pace here because even if had this much spirit stone slags in Zhen Xing, the Dao laws there would still be lacking. It was time he got out to unearth more blackstones as he wondered whether Jia Qi had found the Brilliant Curved Space Gold. Mo Wuji just walked out of his immortal cave and before he could hang up his sign, he saw Jia Qi walking to and fro in front of his immortal cave. Jia Qi looked extremely haggard as she constantly paced up and down outside his immortal cave with an extremely anxious expression. "Dao Friend Jia Qi¡­" Mo Wuji only mentioned this four words and Jia Qi revealed a surprised look as she rushed over, "Dao Friend Mo, you are finally out." Mo Wuji was extremely curious why Jia Qi had been acting so cold ever since he met her. Even if she decided to work with him, she didn¡¯t like to talk much. What was going on? "Whose immortal cave is this?" Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already sensed another immortal cave which was located not too far away from his own. "It belonged to Dao Friend, Lou Chuanhe¡­" "Senior Lou came?" Mo Wuji asked. Jia Qi nodded her head, "Yes, but he isn¡¯t in the best of shape now." "What happened?" Mo Wuji was astonished and before Jia Qi could say anything, he took the initiative to walk towards Lou Chuanhe¡¯s immortal cave. Not only did Lou Chuanhe come from Zhen Xing like he did, they were both Star Lords of Zhen Xing. Moreover, Lou Chuanhe was a true man unlike that fella, Mu Yingqiao. It was exactly because of this, Mo Wuji decided to leave a blackstone for Lou Chuanhe. Since he wanted to unearth a large amount of blackstones, two people would definitely not be enough. And since he needed to recruit, he might as well let Lou Chuanhe join his small team now. Jia Qi released the restriction on Lou Chuanhe¡¯s immortal cave and Mo Wuji only took one step to enter. Following which, he saw an unconscious Lou Chuanhe lying down. Lou Chuanhe¡¯s body was still filled with blood stains and his entire body was like a wooden block with minimal vitals. Evidently, his life wouldn¡¯t last much longer. "What is going on?" Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turned ugly. "He was severely wounded by Meng Tianyu causing his spirit channel to woodify and even his flesh had started to turn into wood," Jia Qi sighed. "Who is Meng Tianyu?" Mo Wuji asked. "He was the head of the Immortal Seeking Union and his cultivation technique was the wood type. Previously, I¡¯ve heard that he was able to make use of the acute wood energy to hurt others but I thought that it was only a rumour. Now I¡¯ve finally realised that he really did have such a technique. Dao Friend Lou¡¯s spirit channel was woodified because of him," Jia Qi answered. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows momentarily, "Senior Lou only just arrived at the Half Immortal Domain so why would he act against the head of the Immortal Seeking Union?" "The main reason for the clash was because of a cultivator called Fang Qi¡­" Fang Qi? Mo Wuji knew this person and this person was in fact a cultivator from the Lost Continent too. He was also stuck in the space canyon and it was only because of him that he made it into the Half Immortal Domain. Chapter 414: Master Pu Zi’s Shock Chapter 414: Master Pu Zi¡¯s Shock Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Fang Qi was initially prepared to join the Immortal Seeking Union but after he found out that Cang Xue was already in the Immortal Seeking Union, he immediately gave up the thought of joining them as he turned to join the Sword Qi Flatland instead. Because of this, Fang Qi was chased after by the Immortal Seeking Union¡¯s Cang Xue¡­" "Hold on," Mo Wuji interrupted Jia Qi, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, I have been here for quite some time now and I noticed that in general, the Half Immortal Domain was still considered to be fair and just. Furthermore, one couldn¡¯t act against another cultivator, let alone kill someone so casually in this place so where did Cang Xue get his balls from? To dare to kill Fang Qi here?" Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of Fang Qi was not too deep and if not for the fact that Fang Qi came from the Lost Continent too, Mo Wuji might not even remember his name. Fang Qi refusing to join the Immortal Seeking Union because of the presence of Cang Xue proved that he was a man with principles. Jia Qi laughed, "The justice and fairness you see is only on the surface because if someone wants to kill you, there are more than ten thousand ways to do so. Furthermore, when Cang Xue attacked, Fang Qi hadn¡¯t officially joined the Sword Qi Flatland because if he had joined them, he would at least have some protection from them." "How did Cang Xue kill Fang Qi?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice turned cold. "His reason was that he gave Fang Qi ten spirit stone slags in private so that Fang Qi could join the Immortal Seeking Union. However, after Fang Qi received the spirit stone slags, he went back on his words and joined the Sword Qi Flatland instead," Jia Qi said calmly. Mo Wuji was shocked and only asked after staring blankly for a while, "He used a reason like this to kill someone?" "This was already considered as a valid reason for I have seen reasons much more ridiculous than this. As long as you are useful to your own union and your union had relations with the Dao Lord, you could kill someone easily. Cang Xue said that he was cheated and used that excuse to sudden attack Fang Qi," Jia Qi replied. "So how did senior Lou get implicated in this?" Mo Wuji calmed himself down as he realised how twisted the rules in the Half Immortal Domain was. Jia Qi continued, "Fang Qi and Dao Friend Lou knew each other so when Dao Friend Lou saw that Fang Qi was killed, he was fuming as he was certain that Cang Xue was simply finding an excuse to kill Fang Qi. Cang Xue even intended to attack Dao Friend Lou but he didn¡¯t expect Dao Friend Lou to be that strong and Cang Xue was eventually unable to defeat him. Cang Xue was severely wounded by Dao Friend Lou and just as he was about to be killed, the head of the Immortal Seeking Union appeared as he managed to injure Dao Friend Lou and woodify his spirit channel." Mo Wuji clenched his fist and said, "And then everything ended and Cang Xue got away like this?" "Yes," Jia Qi nodded her head, "I¡¯ve heard that the Cang Xue fella was incredibly talented in digging for blackstones and was even stronger than some old, experienced fellas. Simply because of his talent, he was able to gain a strong foothold in the Immortal Seeking Union. Additionally, the head of the Immortal Seeking Union had a unique relationship with the Dao Lord of the Half Immortal Domain so nobody would question the fact that he casually killed a few experts who have yet to join any unions or teams. I could only bring Dao Friend Lou over and wait for you to come out." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath as he suddenly remembered the incident with Lord Axe. It seemed like the reason why he successfully managed to threaten Lord Axe was not entirely because Lord Axe was afraid that his underground market would be exposed. In a place like this where one could kill anyone with ridiculous reasonings, as long as you had a strong backing, you could do anything. "Furthermore¡­" Jia Qi paused for a moment before continuing, "That Cang Xue should have some enmity towards you right? I¡¯m guessing that he would find you very soon. He didn¡¯t do anything for now because of the incident with Lou Chuanhe and the fact that you are still a member of the Longevity Sect. After he spent a long enough time here in the Half Immortal Domain, I¡¯m certain a person like him would not let you go so easily. As for the Longevity Sect, there aren¡¯t high hopes of them helping us¡­" There was something else that Jia Qi didn¡¯t mention which was she suspected that Cang Xue would find trouble with her too. After all, she did try to get him into trouble previously but was blocked by a member of the Immortal Seeking Union. Even without Jia Qi¡¯s explanation, Mo Wuji was aware of his own predicaments. Even though the laws were wonderfully crafted out in this place, Cang Xue would definitely find trouble with him since he was in the good books of Meng Tianyu, the head of the Immortal Seeking Union, "Dao Friend Jia, I want to ask if you know these people. Bian Shuangbi, Black Fox and Mu Yingqiao, have you heard of them?" "I do. Black Fox and Mu Yingqiao have joined the Immortal Seeking Union while Bian Shuangbi joined the Sword Qi Flatland. I¡¯ve heard rumours saying that Fang Qi wanted to join the Sword Qi Flatland because he was very close with Bian Shuangbi." "Bian Shuangbi didn¡¯t step out to say anything?" Mo Wuji held good impression of Bian Shuangbi because Mo Wuji felt that he was still pretty magnanimous. Jia Qu shook her head, "No or rather, he didn''t have any chance to do anything. The whole process of Cang Xue killing Fang Qi was a very short one and could be considered to be a successful sneak attack." Mo Wuji remained silent for a long time before speaking up suddenly, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, can I trouble you to bring Master Pu Zi to my residence? I have some things to discuss with him." "Of course, I have already found a Brilliant Curved Space Gold suitable to forge a storage ring and Master Pu Zi could have been done forging it already," Jia Qu said without hesitation. "Alright, I will wait for you at my residence while I take a look at Brother Lou¡¯s injuries too," Mo Wuji lifted Lou Chuanhe up. Jia Qi didn¡¯t mind but she didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji could save Lou Chuanhe. If one could save someone who had his spirit channel woodified, that person could be considered a god here in the Half Immortal Domain. ¡­ Mo Wuji wanted Master Pu Zi to visit him at his residence because he had all sorts of defensive, restriction and concealment arrays around his place so they wouldn¡¯t need to worry about anything they discussed being leaked. As for Lou Chuanhe¡¯s injuries, it was really nothing significant to him. All he needed to do was to remove the acute wood energy within Lou Chuanhe¡¯s spirit channel but he couldn¡¯t do it now. Given his strength now, he was only a small ant in the Half Immortal Domain so the moment his ability to detoxify the acute wood energy was revealed, no one could predict the future repercussions. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wait for long and in just about one hour¡¯s time, Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi had reached his residence. "Dao Friend Mo¡¯s array dao is indeed stronger than mine," Master Pu Zi could tell Mo Wuji¡¯s proficiency in array dao the moment he entered Mo Wuji¡¯s residence. From all these variety of arrays put in place, he could tell Mo Wuji¡¯s realm in the array dao. A capable person would always be respected. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in the mood to discuss such things with Master Pu Zi now because everyone would be a master in their own special field. While Mo Wuji was good in array dao, Master Pu Zi¡¯s quality of smithing was so many times stronger than his. After Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi both sat down, Mo Wuji said in a serious tone, "Master Pu Zi, since Jia Qi could trust you, I believe I can trust you too." Even though Mo Wuji said this, it would still be impossible for him to trust Master Pu Zi as much as Jia Qi trusted Master Pu Zi. The reason why he invited Master Pu Zi here today was so he could reveal his ability to find blackstones. He believed that Master Pu Zi would not reveal his secret because Master Pu Zi had a secret of his own for Mo Wuji to keep. The secret that he had a storage ring which could store blackstones was definitely not any less significant that Mo Wuji¡¯s secret ability to find blackstones. Master Pu Zi was extremely experienced so he naturally knew that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really trust him but because circumstances forced him. "Dao Friend Mo and I could hit off well so I''m sure we naturally harm each other," Master Pu Zi laughed out loud. Mo Wuji nodded his head as he passed the storage ring in his hand to Master Pu Zi before saying, "Master Pu Zi, these are what Jia Qi and I gathered in five days." Master Pu Zi wasn¡¯t very mindful about this as he casually took over the storage ring from Mo Wuji. The moment his spiritual will seeped into the ring, his hand trembled and he suddenly stood up. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t place any restrictions on his storage ring so his spiritual will could clearly see the hundreds of blackstones inside. "This, this is what you gathered in five days?" Master Pu Zi could no longer contain his emotions because he was different from everyone else as he clearly knew some of the uses of the blackstones. This was also the reason why he cracked his brain to find a way to forge a storage ring that could store these blackstones. "This was indeed what we gathered in five days and Dao Friend Jia Qi could vouch for me on this," Mo Wuji said confidently. Seeing Master Pu Zi¡¯s eyes landed on herself, Jia Qi nodded convincingly, "That¡¯s right, this was indeed true." "Master Pu Zi, I have an ability which could allow me to find blackstones that are hidden as deep as 15 metres deep¡­" Master Pu Zi was an experienced man so even before Mo Wuji could finish what he wanted to say, Master Pu Zi understood what was going on. This implied that to Mo Wuji, the entire Half Immortal Domain was an unexplored mining area. "How can I help you?" Master Pu Zi couldn''t contain his feelings because he had known about this ability of Mo Wuji, he would have wanted to work with Mo Wuji no matter what so as to be able to earn some share of the blackstones. Mo Wuji said solemnly, "Master Pu Zi, I shall be direct then. I need you to help me refine and complete a battleship¡­" Pu Zi hurried to say, "This was already agreed upon previously so even if we didn¡¯t choose to work together, I would have helped you." Mo Wuji reiterated once more, "This battleship isn¡¯t an ordinary battleship and we cannot refine it here. We have to leave far away from the Half Immortal Domain." Looking at how dangerous the Half Immortal Domain was, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to stay any longer. His original plan was to stay here and complete his battleship but after knowing how sh*tty the justice here was coupled with nemesis like Cang Xue around, he naturally didn¡¯t dare to have his battleship being refined here. "Your intention is to find a faraway, remote mining area to dig blackstones while waiting for me to refine the battleship?" Master Pu Zi asked as he had already gathered some clues from Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Mo Wuji responded, "That¡¯s right¡­" He was pondering if he should give Master Pu Zi a percentage of the blackstones because if he don¡¯t, Master Pu Zi would definitely be unhappy and if Mo Wuji did give a percentage of it, how much should he give Master Pu Zi? "Could you let me have a look at the incomplete battleship?" Master Pu Zi had heard Mo Wuji mentioned about this battleship for a few times now so he was guessing that it must not be something simple. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate at all as he took out a storage ring, ready to pass it to Master Pu Zi, "The battleship is right inside." The cannons and explosives of the battleship had already been shifted away by Mo Wuji because he definitely won¡¯t let Master Pu Zi see such things. Master Pu Zi handed Mo Wuji the blackstone storage ring and as he received Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring, he immediately used his spiritual will to scan through it. When he saw the incomplete space battleship in the storage ring, his expression changed drastically while his hand couldn¡¯t stop shaking. Even a peak grade smith expert like himself in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage almost dropped the storage ring in his hand at the sight of the battleship. Chapter 415: Goodbye Lord Axe Chapter 415: Goodbye Lord Axe Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Both Mo Wuji and Jia Qi naturally noticed Master Pu Zi¡¯s expression and before Mo Wuji could question Master Pu Zi¡¯s reaction, Master Pu Zi was already glaring at Mo Wuji and asked in a stern tone, "Where did you get this battleship from?" Mo Wuji became serious as he answered, "Master Pu Zi, I¡¯ve invited you here to help me complete this battleship, not to interrogate me." Jia Qi was aware that Mo Wuji was not someone to offend so she hurried to comment, "Master Pu Zi, I don¡¯t think we should inquire too much about Mo Wuji¡¯s personal affairs." Pi Zi suddenly recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s doughtiness as he had exchanged one blow with Mo Wuji before. Back then, even Pu Zi himself didn¡¯t have the advantage over Mo Wuji, who was clearly many folds lower than him in terms of cultivation level. In this short period of time, it seemed as though Mo Wuji had become much stronger once more. Furthermore, this is Mo Wuji¡¯s lair and there were arrays put in place by him in almost every corner of this place therefore, it would definitely not do him good to attack Mo Wuji here. At the thought of this, Master Pu Zi¡¯s expression and tone simmered down, "Dao Friend Mo, I have no ill-intentions but I was just curious where did the many cannons and ammunitions of this ship go to?" Mo Wuji was shocked when he heard Master Pu Zi mentioning of the ship¡¯s cannon. Mo Wuji had already removed the cannons so how did Master Pu Zi know about all these? "Master Pu Zi, these have nothing to do with you and all you needed to do is to let me know if you¡¯re willing to help," Mo Wuji said faintly. He would not beg Master Pu Zi if he was unwilling to help because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that he would not be able to complete this battleship without Master Pu Zi. Master Pu Zi took in a deep breath as he took the initiative to pass the storage ring back to Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Mo, I know that you¡¯re an extraordinary man. I am willing to help and is even willing to leave the Half Immortal Domain with you. However, I have one condition." Mo Wuji kept his storage ring and clasped his fist as he said, "Whatever conditions Master Pu Zi has, I would naturally agree without questioning as long as it is within my means." Master Pu Zi shook his hand, "We will talk about this condition after we leave this place. So when can we leave?" After seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s battleship, Master Pu Zi was actually even more anxious than Mo Wuji. "I will go exchange for some spirit stone slags then we will leave this place," Mo Wuji answered as he was determined to advance into the Earthly Immortal Stage before returning to the Half Immortal Domain in the future which was why the spirit stone slags were essential. Master Pu Zi hesitated for while before saying, "I have over hundreds of spirit stone slags with me so if this is enough for you, I suggest that you don¡¯t go exchange for more." Master Pu Zi was indeed a smith master to actually carry so much wealth on himself. One must know that those geniuses he saw wandering around in the Half Immortal Domain only had about tens of spirit stone slags. Even though those geniuses could have already used the remaining of their spirit stone slags for cultivation, Master Pu Zi was still considered to be wealthy compared to the rest. "It is not sufficient and I shall go alone. Dao Friend Jia Qi, wait here with Master Pu Zi for me," Mo Wuji had already grabbed his basket and left the room as he wanted to find Lord Axe. "Hold on... " Master Pu Zi shouted but Mo Wuji had already left the room. "Big brother Pu Zi, do not worry because nothing would happen to Dao Friend Mo," After the two of them were left alone, Jia Qi addressed Master Pu Zi as big brother Pu Zi. Pu Zi furrowed his brows, "He should be heading towards Lord Axe right? That Lord Axe fella is way too vicious and it was simply too dangerous for Dao Friend Mo to go alone. If he were to take out too many blackstones at one go, I really do suspect he wouldn¡¯t be able to make it back alive." If Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji had a battleship on him, Master Pu Zi wouldn¡¯t be worried even if Mo Wuji went to visit the Dao Lord. However, now that Mo Wuji had a battleship which could affect his own future, how could he not be worried? Jia Qi said in a solemn tone, "Big brother Pu Zi, I have spent quite a significant amount of time together already and I believe that he is not a rash person. Since he wanted us to wait for him here, let¡¯s just wait here." ¡­ Master Pu Zi¡¯s worry wasn¡¯t unfounded because everyone knew how vicious Lord Axe of the underground market was. Furthermore, Pu Zi was aware that Mo Wuji had large amount of blackstones on him so if he were to take out too many blackstones in front of Lord Axe, Lord Axe would definitely be tempted by it. ¡­ "Your boss isn¡¯t in?" Mo Wuji was obstructed the second time he arrived at the underground house. The cultivator recognised Mo Wuji as he nodded at Mo Wuji and the small door by the side opened immediately. After Mo Wuji entered the room, the small door closed and Mo Wuji immediately realised that his spiritual will was restrained. Previously, he could still use his spiritual will to scan outside of the room but now, he was unable to do so. However, this didn¡¯t trouble Mo Wuji because he still had his spirit storage channel and his spiritual eye. It was not convenient for him to open his spiritual eye but the spiritual will of his spirit storage channel had already extended out from his meridian and scanned through the arrays of this house. The array base from the previous time had switched place and there was two additional deathtrap arrays and one hidden killing array put in place. The usage of the hidden killing array was so that even if there was a battle inside here, the killing intent would not seep out of this house. Mo Wuji sneered because these few deathtrap arrays were simply not threatening to him at all. "Dao Friend Mo, long time no see," Before Mo Wuji could say anything, Lord Axe, who was sitting down, greeted him first. The moment Mo Wuji heard his voice, he knew that Lord Axe had already investigated him. This time round, Mo Wuji noticed that the skinny cultivator who ambushed him using a small knife during his first visit was not here. Mo Wuji was aware that this fella was not completely gone but hidden within an array near the door. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that he was prepared to show his strength the moment Mo Wuji walked past. Mo Wuji was not fearful because he had already found the array bases of this place. The moment someone attacked him, he would immediately blow the array base up and appear outside. This was also the reason why he didn¡¯t bring Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi along because he was certain there was certainly more than the four of them here at Lord Axe¡¯s place. Even if the two of them were to be here, Mo Wuji and the two of them would still be outnumbered. In fact, coming alone would make him more agile and flexible too. Mo Wuji said in a stupefied manner, "I have been digging for blackstones during this period of time and I¡¯ve just returned so I came to exchange some blackstones," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind even if the other party found out about the fact that he had been through closed doors cultivation. "How many do you want to exchange?" Lord Axe said casually as he drank a mouthful of tea. Mo Wuji hated this fella¡¯s way of doing things. Since it was an exchange that would benefit both parties, everyone should sit down on the same level to discuss slowly. However, this fella kept thinking he was the boss and this was a charity to him. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji needed the spirit stone slags urgently, he really didn¡¯t wish to transact with a person like this because he simply didn¡¯t know how to run a business. "If I were to exchange for 50 blackstones at one go, would the price increase a little?" Mo Wuji asked. "It would remain at 25 spirit stone slags for one blackstone," Lord Axe didn¡¯t even blink as he said that. "And if I exchange for 100?" Mo Wuji asked once more. This time round, Lord Axe lifted his head as he looked shockingly at Mo Wuji, "You have 100 blackstones?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t answer as he simply stood there waiting in silence. Noticing that Mo Wuji was not answering his question, Lord Axe grunted and said, "If you have 100 blackstones, I will give you 28 spirit stone slags for one blackstone exchanged." "What about 200?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. "Haha¡­" Lord Axe suddenly started laughing out loud, "Are you here to amuse me? If you can take out 200 blackstones, how about I give you the price of 50 spirit stone slags like I previously mentioned? If you are unable to give me 200 blackstones, don¡¯t blame me for being nasty because nobody comes here to joke with me." The delicate woman sitting beside Lord Axe couldn¡¯t help but sighed when she heard the offer Lord Axe was presenting. She didn¡¯t approve of Lord Axe¡¯s ways but Lord Axe was insistent to try persuading Mo Wuji to join them whether or not it would be successful. If he really couldn¡¯t do so, he would teach this newbie a lesson so that he would forever hold this place in awe. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything because even he knew that the price of 50 spirit stone slags was not what Lord Axe would truly give. It was already extremely incredible if Lord Axe was truly willing to exchange it for 30 spirit stone slags. The fact that this fella set up more deathtrap arrays and hidden killing array here proved that he was ready to be vicious with him. However, now that Lord Axe said out a price like this, whether or not it was true, Mo Wuji would make Lord Axe swallow his words to make it happen. Mo Wuji took out the basket on his back and as he lifted the cover on it, it was a basket fully filled with blackstones. Lord Axe stood up all of the sudden as both the delicate woman as well as a cultivator with an abacus beside Lord Axe stood up in shock. This basket was completely filled to the brim and was definitely 200 blackstones. They had naturally saw 200 blackstones before but this was the first time they witnessed someone bringing in 200 blackstones at one go to exchange. "It is truly 200 blackstones," Lord Axe gasped and then recovered his composure. "May I know if we could transact now? I have 202 blackstones here and I will forget about the two additional blackstones. All you have to do is to give me 10,000 spirit stone slags," Mo Wuji covered the basket and immediately carried the basket on his back. Lord Axe frowned because he understood the intention of Mo Wuji¡¯s moves. He was preparing to fight. Was this really a newbie? How could he be so arrogant? "Aren¡¯t you worried I might steal your blackstones? Lord Axe asked in a calm tone. Mo Wuji walked laterally for a few steps before using the same tone to reply, "You wouldn¡¯t dare." Watching Mo Wuji did this, Lord Axe was astonished. What was going on? He had invited a top notched array master to change the position of his array base and even covered it by installing an array to block off spiritual will so how did Mo Wuji even found out where the array base was in such a short period of time that he was here? You wouldn¡¯t dare? Lord Axe couldn¡¯t believe how arrogant Mo Wuji truly was in front of him. "Abacus, let him know if I dare," Lord Axe grunted coldly as he placed the tea cup on the tea table beside him. Lord Axe was sure Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t destroy the array base since he was carrying 200 blackstones on him. "Roger that," The middle-aged cultivator holding the abacus charged towards Mo Wuji upon Lord Axe¡¯s instructions. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned heavy because he realised there was one point he didn¡¯t consider. Even though he found the hidden array base of this place, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t dare to to destroy it now. This was because he was carrying 200 blackstones and the moment he destroyed this array base, given Lord Axe¡¯s social network, Lord Axe would at most have his reputation slightly scarred but Mo Wuji could lose his small life here. Mo Wuji certainly overlooked this point. Chapter 416: Spitting Out Blood Chapter 416: Spitting Out Blood Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The huge abacus was like a grid cage as it charged towards Mo Wuji as it trapped the entire space above Mo Wuji¡¯s head and that was when Mo Wuji realised that there was not a single bead in the abacus. Following which tens of beads formed a wavy line as it blocked off Mo Wuji¡¯s retreat route. Mo Wuji swung out his Tian Ji Pole and raised his leg as he was prepared to charge at this cultivator. Lord Axe, who was initially prepared to attack, saw Mo Wuji¡¯s moves and shook his head as he felt that Ku Ya overestimated Mo Wuji. This place restrained everyone¡¯s spiritual will and even if Mo Wuji was very capable, charging towards the abacus would simply be throwing himself into the Abacus Beads Net. Even Lord Axe himself would not be able to escape the Abacus Beads Net for a short period of time if he were to be trapped in it so how could Mo Wuji do anything about it? The moment Mo Wuji was trapped in his place, Lord Axe would be able to do anything and everything to Mo Wuji. The cultivator with the abacus was also staring at Mo Wuji blankly because he never expected Mo Wuji to charge straight towards it. He thought that Mo Wuji would dodge his grid cage and then retaliate. As long as Mo Wuji tried to dodge his grid cage, his beads would be able to restrain him instantly. Of course, he couldn¡¯t eliminate the possibility of Mo Wuji being so incredibly strong that he could dodge the grid cage and then dodge the deathtrap of the beads. However, even if Mo Wuji was able to do both, he only had one way to retreat and Xi Sha was already waiting for him there. With restrictions of spiritual will put in place, there was nothing Mo Wuji could do even if he was extremely talented and capable. Spatial teleportation would only be a tasteless move which could cause no harm to them. Furthermore, Ku Ya and Lord Axe himself were also waiting by the side. "Boom!" Elemental energy exploded as Mo Wuji didn¡¯t use his Tian Ji Pole against the abacus. He threw out a fist instead and his spatial fist clashed against the abacus which caused elemental energy to explode within the house. Other than Mo Wuji¡¯s vast amount of elemental energy, there was another feeling that made the cultivator with the abacus felt uneasy. Immediately after that, Mo Wuji disappeared and Abacus realised that it had to be spatial teleportation which helped him got away from both the abacus and the deathtrap of the beads. How was Mo Wuji able to execute his spatial teleportation when his spiritual will had already been restrained in this place? Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t regard this abacus highly initially but to be able to execute the attack using his Abacus Beads Net was extremely impressive because of the restraint on spiritual will here. This was given the fact that the opponent knew where the spiritual will restraint was put in place otherwise, Mo Wuji was confident to kill this abacus before teleporting out. Spiritual will restrainment could be a lethal weapon to other cultivators but it was nothing more than a decorated weapon to him. Since the cultivator with the abacus was highly regarded by Lord Axe, he naturally wasn¡¯t an idiot. He immediately thought of the Tian Ji Pole that Mo Wuji drew out and since he drew out the Tian Ji Pole but didn¡¯t attack him with it, he realised that Mo Wuji was clearly intending to attack Xi Sha with it. Since Mo Wuji was able to execute his spatial teleportation in this place successfully, it would mean that the spiritual will restrainment wasn¡¯t too much of a restraint to him. And since it wasn¡¯t a restraint, it would imply that Mo Wuji would naturally be able to spot Xi Sha. The cultivator would obviously understand the situation first hand because he was the one who exchanged blows head on with Mo Wuji so by the time Lord Axe noticed Mo Wuji had managed to escape the Abacus Beads Net, a devastating cry was heard. After the devastating cry, there was an end to the exploding elemental energy as the whole place fell silent. The cultivator with the abacus fell to the ground as Lord Axe and Ku Ya both stood forward while Mo Wuji stopped beside the door. He was holding one end of the Tian Ji Pole while the other end was a skinny cultivator hanging with blood flowing out from his body. Even though the skinny cultivator stopped crying out in desperation, his struggling expression showed everyone that he was completely restrained by Mo Wuji. The knife that had never left his hand fell like a useless piece of metal on the pile of blood underneath himself. "Let go of Xi Sha or you shall die," Lord Axe¡¯s killing intent filled the room and even the tea cup by his side broke under his immense pressure. Mo Wuji acted as though he didn¡¯t hear Lord Axe¡¯s threat as he gave his Tian Ji Pole a twist and Xi Sha let out yet another devastating cry. "You¡­" Lord Axe¡¯s hand was trembling as he was certain Mo Wuji would kill Xi Sha before Lord Axe could reach them and he was even more certain that Mo Wuji dared to do so. "Triangular eyes, it seemed as if you were wrong about something. Threaten me one more time and I will kill him immediately. Try me if you don¡¯t believe? I am, unfortunately, not someone who likes to be threaten," Mo Wuji said coolly. If it was any other person doing this, Lord Axe would never hesitate to attack but he was simply too uncertain when facing Mo Wuji. There was clearly a restraint on spiritual will here yet Mo Wuji was able to find the location of the array foundation and even used spatial teleportation. This also meant that he might not be capable enough to finish Mo Wuji off. His plan backfired this time round, even though he regarded Mo Wuji highly, he still underestimated him. However, to be so arrogant in his turf, he had already treated Mo Wuji as a dead man and even if Mo Wuji was able to escape today, he would definitely find ways to kill him in the future. "What do you want?" Lord Axe calmed himself down because he couldn¡¯t afford to let Xi Sha die as he was one of Lord Axe¡¯s most important subordinates he had. Mo Wuji sighed, "I really don¡¯t know how your business could last till today? Are you mentally handicapped? I carried a basket full of blackstones here so I am obviously here for a transaction, what else could I be here for?" Lord Axe took in a deep breath and said slowly, "I only have 5000 spirit stone slags here, so I can only purchase 100 blackstones of yours today." To him, saving Xi Sha was the priority. After this was done, even if he were to cause a commotion, he would definitely kill Mo Wuji at the Half Immortal Domain. One should not think that the Dao Lord didn¡¯t know anything about his underground market. Right now, he really wanted to see this newbie¡¯s spiritual roots being destroyed and the scene where this newbie kneeled in front of him. It must be a really good feeling to witness this scene. Mo Wuji frowned and said in a disdainful tone, "You can¡¯t even take out 10,000 spirit stone slags and you dare open an underground market. You are really shameless aren¡¯t you?" A strong energy surged towards Lord Axe¡¯s throat as Mo Wuji¡¯s words almost made him spat out blood. Was 5000 spirit stone slags very little? What did he meant by not being able to take out 10,000 spirit stones being shameless? How dare this rascal mock him, Hong Fuji. At the thought that Xi Sha¡¯s life was still in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands, Lord Axe swallowed his thoughts and did his best to control his anger as he said, "If you trust me, I can accept your 200 blackstones but I can only pay you 5000 spirit stone slags first and for the remaining spirit stone slags, I will owe you first." Mo Wuji laughed in his heart but nodded on the surface, "That¡¯s right, you are indeed trustworthy and I can indeed trust you." Lord Axe heard this and face turned ugly because he believed that Mo Wuji was saying the opposite of what he truly meant. "According to your words, you will owe me 5000 spirit stone slags. Naturally, I have one condition of my own too. My spirit stone slags that is placed with you would accumulate interests too. The interest would be 500 spirit stone slags for one month and if you¡¯re agreeable, we will transact and if you¡¯re not, forget it," Mo Wuji¡¯s words definitely caught everyone by surprise. Even though they knew that Mo Wuji would be doomed, but a deal like this was never necessary because Mo Wuji could have just brought the remaining 102 blackstones after exchanging for the 5000 spirit stone slags. Lord Axe, Abacus and Ku Ya exchanged glances with each other as they nodded in secret. This time round, even Ku Ya didn¡¯t comment much because now that Lord Axe was determined to kill Mo Wuji, he would definitely be dead. There was no reason to hesitate in the face of a deadman. "Alright, we shall transact now so here is 5000 spirit stone slags," Lord Axe immediately threw out a storage ring to Mo Wuji. "I need you to write a marked IOU," Mo Wuji accepted the storage ring and used his spiritual will to scan through it before nodding his head. "For you," Lord Axe had no hesitation as he stamped on a jade letter before throwing to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji grabbed the jaded letter and used his spiritual will to scan through it. After noticing that the interest was stated clearly, he threw this jade letter into his own storage ring and then passed the basket to Lord Axe as he kept his Tian Ji Pole. Just at the moment Mo Wuji kept his Tian Ji Pole, Lord Axe charged towards Mo Wuji. "Boom!" Yet another series of explosion could be heard as what Lord Axe slashed apart was only a shadow. A humongous hole appeared at the corner of the house and Mo Wuji had already disappeared without a trace. Very evidently, Mo Wuji destroyed the house¡¯s array foundation before leaving. Since the blackstones were already exchanged, even if he destroyed the array foundation here, his storage ring would not be exposed. Otherwise, if Lord Axe told others than he had 200 blackstones with him or talked about how he had a storage ring which could store blackstones, he would definitely be doomed. "I will find the Dao Lord now because if I don¡¯t kill Mo Wuji, I would have wasted my time in the Half Immortal Domain," Lord Axe¡¯s killing intent could be felt once more because he had never felt this aggrieved ever since he entered the Half Immortal Domain. "Lord Axe, I was thinking why he could have left with 100 blackstones after collecting the 5000 spirit stone slags but chose to ask you to write an IOU and give you another 100 blackstones?" Ku Ya inquired. "Unless he was really capable of forcing us to return the spirit stone slags that we owed him," The usually quiet abacus cultivator revealed a worrying expression because after exchanging blows with Mo Wuji, even though he didn¡¯t execute one tenth of his strength, he could tell that Mo Wuji was not someone to offend. "He didn¡¯t dare to bring the 100 blackstones away because how do you think the Dao Lord would do to him if he were to find out that he had over 100 blackstones on him?" Lord Axe laughed because he had never been this desperate to kill someone. Ku Ya furrowed her brows because she still didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji was such a simple fella. However, she didn¡¯t have any objections for Lord Axe to find the Dao Lord because one had to seek the approval from the Dao Lord to kill someone in the Half Immortal Domain. Lord Axe was not that close to the Dao Lord to act first before asking for permission. ¡­ "Hurry, we have go now," While Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi were still waiting anxiously for Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji¡¯s voice could be heard. After saying this, Mo Wuji had already carried Lou Chuanhe and charged out first. Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi were experienced people so they didn¡¯t even question Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions as they hurried to follow closely behind Mo Wuji. Lord Axe was after all only a lord of the underground market and even though his strength was not any weaker than any of the teams in the Half Immortal Domain, his reaction was still evidently not as fast as he wasn¡¯t capable of obstructing the exit of the Half Immortal Domain in time. Lord Axe only met with the Dao Lord after Mo Wuji and the three of them had left the Half Immortal Domain. Chapter 417: Mining Area of Death Chapter 417: Mining Area of Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao Friend Mo, are we going back to Mining Area 6A?" Jia Qi immediately asked. "We can¡¯t go there anymore. Do you know any mining areas that have a large quantity of blackstone and are situated far away from the Half Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji replied. Mining Area 6A might have been a good location, but it was too close to the Half Immortal Domain. He had offended Lord Axe, and was capable of digging up loads of blackstones, so it was simply too dangerous there. Master Pu Zi, who was standing at the side, suddenly spoke, "If there¡¯s serious enmity between Lord Axe and you, then the only place you can go is the Mining Area of Death." Jia Qi¡¯s expression immediately changed, and he shook his head, "Master Pu Zi, going there almost means certain death." Yet Master Pu Zi did not speak, and only looked at Mo Wuji, waiting for his reply. In reality, he had better locations in mind, but he had to find out the extent of Mo Wuji¡¯s courage and abilities. In terms of strength, he had some idea of Mo Wuji¡¯s level, and he would not have lost out to Mo Wuji. However, for the battleship, just being strong was insufficient. If Mo Wuji did not have what it took to drive the battleship, he would eliminate Mo Wuji without hesitation, and take the battleship away. This thought never left his mind ever since the battleship came into the picture. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze swept across Master Pu Zi. The killing intent that Master Pu Zi had been hiding had already been noticed by him long ago. As someone who was in the Extreme Mortal and Earth Stages, created his own meridian cultivation technique, and opened 106 meridians, he was extremely sensitive to everything in his surroundings, which included the killing intent of others. Since Mo Wuji needed Master Pu Zi¡¯s help, he would be allowed to live for now. Once the battleship was completed, if this guy still exuded killing intent towards him, then Mo Wuji would eliminate Master Pu Zi without hesitation. "Oh, what¡¯s the Mining Area of Death like? Are there many demonic beasts?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. He similarly had some killing intent directed towards Master Pu Zi, and while he had concealed it rather carefully, Master Pu Zi could still feel its chilling aura after these questions left his mouth. This gave Master Pu Zi the chills. He felt that Mo Wuji was not one to be angered, hence it would be better to keep his guard up against him. After calming himself down, Master Pu Zi broke the silence with his low voice, "If it¡¯s just demonic beasts then it won¡¯t be called the Mining Area of Death. Which cultivator in the Half Immortal Domain would actually be afraid of demonic beasts? The amount of blackstone in the Mining Area of Death will definitely be no less than that in Mining Area A. Even though it had been dug through many times before, when people take the risk there again, there¡¯s still more to be found. The reason it¡¯s called the Mining Area of Death is because the area is full of Colourless Leeches. Those Colourless Leeches are extremely frightening. They are only half a finger long, and while the word ¡®colourless¡¯ is in its name, there¡¯s actually spots all over its body. It is also difficult to detect with spiritual will, and exists in the void. Without any notice, it can dig into your skin, and you won¡¯t even feel it. This type of Colourless Leech likes to consume acute wood energy the most. Once it enters a human body, it will feed on the blood marrow, then release acute wood energy, causing the person to be woodified from his blood to his spiritual channels. By the time you realise that one has entered your body, it is already too late." Jia Qi shuddered. The mere thought of the Colourless Leech was already enough to make people piss their pants. However, Mo Wuji still maintained his calm disposition. His battleship was of paramount importance. Only with a mobile battleship, on top of his strength, would he be able to stand his ground in the Half Immortal Domain. Who knew when he would be able to leave this place? "We¡¯ll leave for the Mining Area of Death immediately. Master Pu Zi, you¡¯ll steer the flying ship, and I¡¯ll take a look at Dao Friend Lou¡¯s condition." As he finished speaking, Mo Wuji did not wait for Master Pu Zi¡¯s reply, and he immediately went into the cabin. Since Master Pu Zi tagged along, he would have to cooperate. As for the Mining Area of Death, Mo Wuji decided that he would make an assessment after he arrived there. From what Master Pu Zi had said, he knew that this location was extremely suitable to perform smithing works on his battleship. If his spiritual eye was still unable to see the Colourless Leeches, then he would change to a different location. While the battleship was important, his life was even more important. Master Pu Zi nodded his head. He was very impressed with Mo Wuji¡¯s way of handling the situation. If Mo Wuji did not even dare to go to the Mining Area of Death, then it would be unclear if he could really put the battleship to good use. "Master Pu Zi, we¡¯re really going to the Mining Area of Death?" Seeing Mo Wuji enter the cabin, Jia Qi continued asking worriedly. "If we don¡¯t go, I would be very disappointed. It seems like Dao Friend Mo is not an ordinary person." Master Pu Zi replied with words of praise. As for Mo Wuji going to take a look at Lou Chuanhe¡¯s condition, he did not really care about it. If Mo Wuji were really able to save a person whose body and spirit channels were woodified, he would really be an immortal. ... Inside the cabin, Mo Wuji could see that Lou Chuanhe¡¯s woodification had progressed further. He held Lou Chuanhe¡¯s wrist, and within a breath¡¯s time, the acute wood energy in Lou Chuanhe¡¯s body streamed out to Mo Wuji, drawn away by his detoxification meridian. Lou Chuanhe¡¯s woodified body began showing visible signs of recovery. Half an incense¡¯s time later, Mo Wuji loosened his grip and threw a pill into Lou Chuanhe¡¯s mouth. The efficacy of the pill was incredible. A minute later, Lou Chuanhe opened his eyes and sat up. "Junior Mo¡­" Lou Chuanhe¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Wuji, and immediately he knew what was going on. "Junior Mo, you saved me?" After realising that it was indeed Mo Wuji that saved his life, Lou Chuanhe was shocked. While he had not been in the domain for long, he at least knew that having spirit channels woodified was equivalent to death. Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t that Meng Tianyu have killed him? To that Mo Wuji simply laughed it off, "You¡¯re a lucky man. It just so happens that I know a method of neutralising the acute wood energy." "Then I¡¯m afraid that Meng Tianyu won¡¯t let us go." Lou Chuanhe got the full picture. Since Mo Wuji could neutralise the acute wood energy to save him, Meng Tianyu would not let either of them go. Even a fool knew what someone with the means to neutralise acute wood energy was worth in the Half Immortal Domain. All this while he was not surprised at Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to dissipate acute wood energy. Since Mo Wuji could emerge from the space canyon, it didn¡¯t seem impossible for him to do this. With a snicker, Mo Wuji replied, "It¡¯s not that he won¡¯t let us go. Instead, I¡¯ll be the one that won¡¯t let him go. We¡¯ll spend some time in the Mining Area of Death to do some mining, and once our cultivation levels have improved, we¡¯ll return to the Half Immortal Domain." "Dao Friend Lou¡­" Jia Qi, who had just entered the cabin, saw Lou Chuanhe alive and well, and was stunned. A short while later, he regained his senses, and continued, "Dao Friend Mo, you really saved Dao Friend Lou¡­" It was pretty much guaranteed death as Lou Chuanhe had been wounded by Meng Tianyu¡¯s woodification skill, but who knew that Mo Wuji could use barely an incense¡¯s worth of time to restore Lou Chuanhe to his former state, this¡­ Master Pu Zi also rushed over, and even his jaw dropped. Lou Chuanhe¡¯s spirit channels had been woodified, but now the Lou Chuanhe standing before him had completely recovered. Previously, Master Pu Zi thought that it was rather naive for Mo Wuji to bring Lou Chuanhe away, but he just realised who the naive person was. If Mo Wuji could neutralise acute wood energy, then he would be the best candidate for controlling the battleship. At this point, Master Pu Zi¡¯s killing intent totally vanished, and he bowed respectfully at Mo Wuji after taking in a deep breath, "Dao Friend Mo, from now on we are teammates. To be honest, when I first found out that you were in possession of this battleship, I wanted to kill you. Thankfully, I did not do so. If you really died, I believe that there would not be a second person in the Half Immortal Domain that can neutralise acute wood energy. Even Meng Tianyu can only manipulate it." "Ah¡­" Jia Qi stared at Master Pu Zi with a shocked expression on his face. She never knew that Master Pu Zi would ever have the thought of killing Mo Wuji. Was Mo Wuji a person you wanted to offend? Master Pu Zi must have been a little too ballsy. Upon hearing that, Mo Wuji grinned. It was very respectable for Master Pu Zi to speak his mind. "Dao Friend Mo, Master Pu Zi is a direct person. Since he spoke of these sentiments, it means that they are already in the past." Jia Qi quickly explained. Now everyone were like grasshoppers on a string, and any internal strife would be asking to die. Nodding his head, Mo Wuji responded, "Master Pu Zi is right. Luckily he did not make any moves, otherwise I would have to find a new smithing master." These words hit Master Pu Zi like a truck, before he finally replied, "So you knew of my killing intent all this while?" Mo Wuji casually brushed it off, "If I didn¡¯t know, I wouldn¡¯t have survived till this day." After this, Jia Qi did not open her mouth anymore. Inside, she was secretly celebrating the fact that Master Pu Zi did not make any move on Mo Wuji. Once Master Pu Zi did something like that and got killed by Mo Wuji, even if he did not kill her too, there would be a certain distance created between them. As for why she did not think that Mo Wuji could get killed by Master Pu Zi, it was already an ordinary line of thought. "Dao Friend Mo, we¡¯re still two days away from the Mining Area of Death. I''d like to discuss about my compensation for completing this battleship." Master Pu Zi never mentioned anything about being compensated firstly because it was not a good time, and secondly because he was also eyeing the battleship. Now that Mo Wuji could even neutralise the acute wood energy, there would be no person more suitable to take control of the battleship than him. "Sure, let¡¯s go to the outer deck." Mo Wuji agreed. If Master Pu Zi was willing to work with him, he would naturally be agreeable. Not only was Master Pu Zi strong, but his smithing skills were top notch. This was just the companion Mo Wuji was looking for. Chapter 418: Immortal Chasm Chapter 418: Immortal Chasm Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The four of them sat down once again on the deck of the flying ship. Master Pu Zi took out a bottle of exquisite spirit wine, and made a toast to Mo Wuji before speaking, "Dao friend Mo, do you know why I was that emotional after seeing the battleship?" Without Mo Wuji¡¯s reply, Pu Zi carried on, "It¡¯s because this battleship was originally forged by me¡­" Mo Wuji stared at Master Pu Zi with a shocked expression on his face. This battleship was obtained from a ghost cultivator in the sky sea. In fact, it shouldn¡¯t be related to the Half Immortal Domain in any way, so how did Master Pu Zi forge it? "More accurately, I took part in the forging of this battleship. The person that led this project was Master Jiang Ye. Master Jiang Ye¡¯s smithing abilities far exceed my own, and most of the design and forging process was done by him. Myself and eight other guys were simply menial labour¡­" "Master Pu Zi, you¡¯re saying that 10 men forged this battleship? Who initiated this?" Mo Wuji asked in shock. Mo Wuji was aware of Master Pu Zi¡¯s smithing level, and it was the top 1% of the top 1%. Experts of such caliber could not be found in Zhen Xing. If Master Pu Zi was just a smith who did trivial work, then how strong would Jiang Ye be? And how much stronger would be expert that initiated the construction of the battleship be? "It was Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Dao Lord that initiated the construction of the battleship. However, it¡¯s not the current one, Guang Quan. The purpose of forging this battleship was to take on the Immortal Chasm¡­" At this point, Master Pu Zi waved his hand, signalling for Jia Qi to stop asking questions, as he would reveal the whole story. "Before we can talk about the Immortal Chasm, we must first talk about the Half Immortal Domain. Of course, I do not know how the Half Immortal Domain came about. I only know that after I broke the void, I was already in here, and this was not the Immortal Realm. Back then, Half Immortal City¡¯s Dao Lord was Wu You, and I must say that I¡¯ve never seen someone as strong as him since I started cultivating. With my own eyes, I saw him battle a Heavenly Immortal expert and eventually he killed his opponent¡­" Jia Qi couldn¡¯t help himself, blurting out, "Master Pu Zi, surely a Heavenly Immortal expert is considered as an actual immortal right? If we didn¡¯t come here after breaking the void, would we have become Heavenly Immortals?" In response, Master Pu Zi shook his head, "Logically speaking, Heavenly Immortals are indeed considered Immortals, but in reality, I heard from elder Wu You that Heavenly Immortals are actually fake immortals, and cannot be considered as real Immortals." "Then what would make one an actual Immortal?" Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but butt in too. He had also entered the void-breaking glowing light before arriving at the Half Immortal Domain, and most of the cultivators he saw in here were at the Great Circle of Earth Immortal Stage, and were not really beyond the level of an Earth Immortal. Master Pu Zi sighed, "We¡¯ve all entered the void-breaking glowing light, and in fact, there¡¯s something wrong with it. Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation is supposed to occur after breaking the void, but since we¡¯ve entered the Half Immortal Domain, there¡¯s been a distinct lack of it. Other than a small number of geniuses among geniuses that can initiate lightning tribulation here to reach Heavenly Immortal Stage, most of us can only hide here and try to survive. Dao Lord Wu previously determined that the Half Immortal Domain was a cage that the fake immortals use to obstruct cultivators from breaking into the Immortal Realm. As for what would make one considered a true immortal, neither myself nor Dao Lord Wu You knows. Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji actually felt that his ideas had some similarity to Wu You¡¯s. Because of the Half Immortal Prison, he had already become rather suspicious of the Half Immortal Domain. "Master Pu Zi, you¡¯re saying that there¡¯s still some geniuses that can initiate lightning tribulation here? Do you know where those cultivators that do so and advance to Heavenly Immortal Stage go to?" Jia Qi had answered this question before, but Mo Wuji still asked Master Pu Zi about it. It wasn¡¯t that he did not trust Jia Qi, but Master Pu Zi could definitely shed more light on this issue. To this, Master Pu Zi replied, "Those geniuses were taken away by people from the Immortal Realm. Dao Lord Wu mentioned that these people were likely taken to be brought up by the fake immortals. Another possibility is that those people from the Immortal Realm imprison them. As for why the cultivators from the Immortal Realm would do so, Dao Lord Wu was not sure either. His guess was that these immortals were not really authentic." From Master Pu Zi¡¯s reply, Mo Wuji¡¯s respect for Dao Lord Wu increased, even though he never met the guy before. This guy was simply too impressive, and it was as though as he had seen everything with his own eyes. Regardless of whether it was real immortals or fake immortals, in reality these cultivators that underwent heavenly tribulation to advance to Heavenly Immortal Stage were imprisoned. Half Immortal Prison was a good example. Suddenly, Mo Wuji recalled that Half Immortal Prison was just one of the 11 prisons of Yong Ying, and it already had that many genius cultivators in it. Wouldn''t that mean that there were many other locations like the Half Immortal Domain where genius cultivators were taken away by the Immortal Realm and imprisoned? "Master Pu Zi, may I ask where Dao Lord Wu You went?" Mo Wuji held Wu You in high regard, and couldn''t help but ask. Master Pu Zi answered with a tinge of sadness in his eyes, "Precisely because forging the battleship was directly related to whether cultivators of the Half Immortal Domain could cross the Immortal Chasm, Dao Lord Wu led a group of smiths working day and night to complete it. But just then, news of it was leaked out, and people from the Immortal Realm rushed to the Half Immortal Domain." "So why didn¡¯t anything happen to you?" Mo Wuji was very puzzled. Since people from the Immortal Realm came, then it should have been extremely difficult for Master Pu Zi to survive. More sadness emerged in Master Pu Zi¡¯s eyes, "Back when we were forging the battleship, I suddenly understood the spatial principles behind storing blackstone. After reporting this news to Dao Lord Wu, he determined that this was a significant event, and allowed me to specifically research into creating storage rings that could store blackstone. By the time I completed this, I heard that Dao Lord Wu had gone missing, together with the nine smiths. Even though I wasn¡¯t present at the battle, I could guess that Dao Lord Wu had perished in battle. As for the news that they had vanished, it was just a cover up." The ghost cultivator suddenly came to mind. Could that ghost cultivator have been one of the smiths involved in the forging of the battleship? But how did he leave the Half Immortal Domain? At this point, Master Pu Zi felt rather down in the dumps, and he quieted down. The others did not bother him either, and a good incense¡¯s time later, he continued on his own, "The incomplete battleship disappeared, which meant that cultivators of the Half Immortal Domain had no hope of crossing the Immortal Chasm anymore. The Immortal Chasm is a gigantic ditch between the Half Immortal Domain and the Immortal Realm. It¡¯s named the Immortal Chasm as it stops all cultivators from the Half Immortal Domain from entering the Immortal Realm." "How exactly does it obstruct people from passing through?" Mo Wuji was definitely not satisfied with staying in the Half Immortal Domain, so he had to get these things straight. Even if he could not return to Zhen Xing, he had to at least get a peek at the Immortal Realm. As for whether it was the real or fake Immortal Realm, he could judge it after he arrived there. Master Pu Zi took out a crystal ball and spoke, "Take a look and you¡¯ll find out." After which, he activated the crystal ball in his hand. The image of the endless Immortal Chasm appeared before everyone. It looked like a gigantic ditch with no bottom or any end, cutting the universe directly in half. Black mist hung over the inside of this gigantic chasm, and some creepy crawlies that could not be seen clearly kept moving around, both like there were masses of it and also like there was nothing there at all. While this was just an image from a crystal ball, Mo Wuji could feel goosebumps appearing. This sort of danger was something he could not describe with words. Pointing at the gigantic ditch, Master Pu Zi spoke, "That¡¯s the Immortal Chasm. No flying ship is able to pass through this area, because one cannot use spiritual will or extend out their elemental energy. If you fall into the chasm, only death awaits. You¡¯ll fall to your death, no, perhaps before you die with a splat, not even your bones will be left." At this moment, Master Pu Zi laughed, "Perhaps the thought of an Earthly Immortal falling to his death sounds like a joke, but in reality, it is not funny at all. Countless cultivators that have fallen to their death in the Immortal Chasm, and this is simply the start of the dangers in there. The true threat in the Immortal Chasm are the Five Elemental Immortal Beasts and the Crimson Jade Poison Bug¡­" Silence. Mo Wuji stared at the scene from the crystal ball, and heard what a terrifying place that the Immortal Chasm was. The Immortal Chasm restricted one¡¯s spiritual will an elemental energy, much like the space canyon. "The Five Elemental Immortal Beasts are namely: Sword Dragons of metal affinity, Gui Water Spiders of water affinity, Void Toads of earth affinity, Yin Fire Centipede of fire affinity, and Colourless Leeches of wood affinity¡­" "Colourless Leeches? Are they the same as those found in the Mining Area of Death?" Mo Wuji asked. Master Pu Zi just shook his head, "In some way they are, but they aren¡¯t exactly the same. The Colourless Leeches of the Mining Area of Death are only those of the lowest grade. Even though they are difficult to discover with spiritual will, but they can still be detected. However, the Colourless Leeches in the Immortal Chasm are really colourless. There¡¯s no way you can sense them with spiritual will, and once they touch a your body, you will not be able to get rid of it until you die, as though as it attached itself to your bones." When he heard this, Mo Wuji nodded his head. At least he understood why the battleship had many different types of cannons. So they were meant for dealing with the Five Elemental Immortal Beasts and Crimson Jade Poison Bug in the Immortal Chasm. "These are still no match for the Crimson Jade Poison Bug. Even though just the sight of it can cause your hairs to stand, but you probably haven¡¯t realised that the black coloured thing is not mist, but Crimson Jade Poison Bugs." Master Pu Zi pointed at the image from the crystal ball. If Master Pu Zi did not point it out, Mo Wuji and co. would not have noticed it at all. Now that he had done so, they instantly realised what was going on. The seemingly circulating black mist was actually a dense mass of bugs. What a disgusting sight indeed. "How can this be considered an immortal beast? It should be called a poison beast." Lou Chuanhe sighed. Master Pu Zi added on, " You¡¯re right, we do call these things as poison bugs. As for the term ¡®immortal beasts¡¯, it¡¯s what the people from the opposite side of the Immortal Chasm refer to them with." "The other side of the Immortal Chasm is the Immortal Realm?" Mo Wuji gasped to himself. Now he realised how naive he was, to actually expend that many rounds of ammunition for the cannons. Chapter 419: Entering the Mining Area of Death Chapter 419: Entering the Mining Area of Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Yes, what we call the Immortal World is on that side. Whether it¡¯s real, no one has really seen it to make that judgement." Master Pu Zi replied. "Master Pu Zi, it should have been a snitch that leaked the news of Dao Lord Wu You forging a battleship in preparation to cross the Immortal Chasm to the people from the Immortal World right? Also, is the Half Immortal Domain selling the blackstone that they purchase to the people from the Immortal World? Are those stone slags from the Immortal World? If it¡¯s true, then I¡¯m very confused. Why don¡¯t those men from the Immortal World come to mine themselves?" Mo Wuji shot out many questions, finally linking all of the ideas together. Looking in the direction of the Half Immortal Domain, Master Pu Zi sighed, "My thoughts are exactly the same as yours. There¡¯s probably a snitch. I suspect that the person that leaked the information is the current Dao Lord, Guang Quan, and the Immortal Seeking Union¡¯s Union Head, Meng Tianyu." "Why? Do they not want to go to the Immortal World?" Jia Qi frowned as he asked. Master Pu Zi chuckled coldly, "How can we understand what¡¯s going through the minds of these slaves. But I do know that there¡¯s enmity between Guang Quan and Dao Lord Wu. This is because his dao companion was snatched away by and even died in the room of Dao Lord Wu." Mo Wuji was a little doubtful. Dao Lord Wu was the leader of Half Immortal Domain, and it seemed like he had a decent reputation. So how could such a person have ruined himself just for a woman? "Could this just be a rumor?" Mo Wuji asked. Master Pu Zi shook his head, "No, Dao Lord Wu did indeed forcibly take Guang Quan¡¯s dao companion by force in front of many people. Subsequently, everyone was aware that Guang Quan¡¯s dao companion died in Dao Lord Wu¡¯s room.. Hence, this is not just a rumor." However, this did not dispel all of the suspicion in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, as he felt that this incident did not make logical sense. Continuing on, Master Pu Zi spoke, "The origins of these stone slags are indeed the Immortal World, and the blackstone is also bought by the Immortal World too. As for why people from the Immortal World don¡¯t come to mine for blackstone on their own, it¡¯s because even experts of Heavenly Immortal Stage and above will still have their spirit channels woodified by the acute wood energy when they come to dig for blackstone." "Aren¡¯t there Wood Dissolving Pills?" Jia Qi asked curiously. But Master Pu Zi responded with cold laughter once more, "Wood Dissolving Pills can indeed negate acute wood energy, but it cannot completely remove all of the energy. The longer one stays in the Half Immortal Domain, the more obvious it is." Jia Qi¡¯s expression changed for the worse, as she began to think about whether she had already been corrupted by the acute wood energy. By reading his face, Master Pu Zi could infer what Jia Qi was thinking, and he added on, "Jia Qi, you don¡¯t have to worry. The most complex part of the battleship has already been completed. Once we are able to completely forge the battleship, we will have a chance to cross the Immortal Chasm and enter the Immortal World. The Immortal World is wide beyond measure, so who would find us if we hide in one corner? When we arrive there, I believe that there¡¯s some way to remove the remaining acute wood energy. Moreover, now that we have Dao Friend Mo, there¡¯s even less to worry about." The reason that Master Pu Zi only mentioned Mo Wuji after saying so much, was because he was worried that Mo Wuji would not help them. After all, they only had a working relationship with Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Acute wood energy is nothing to me. Since we¡¯re all partners now, there¡¯s no need for everyone to worry about it. Let¡¯s go to the Mining Area of Death and complete the battleship first." After listening to Master Pu Zi¡¯s explanation, Mo Wuji felt that the path ahead was complex and dangerous. One moment of carelessness could cause him to be crushed to smithereens. No matter whether the other side was the Immortal World or a fake Immortal World, he would go to take a look first. "So we¡¯re still going to the Mining Area of Death?" Jia Qi asked inquisitively. The answer from Mo Wuji was yes, "If the Immortal Chasm is as what Master Pu Zi just described, we must all the more go to the Mining Area of Death. If we can¡¯t even deal with the Colourless Leeches there, how would we face up against the Five Elemental Immortal Beasts in the Immortal Chasm?" "I agree with Dao Friend Mo." Master Pu Zi immediately replied. "Master Pu Zi, I would like to find out about someone from you. His name is Lai Wanxing, and he''s a pill refiner." Mo Wuji was 60% sure that the metal affinity pill refiners that Lai Wanxing brought along were used for concocting Wood Dissolving Pills. Where could Wood Dissolving Pills be used? Wasn¡¯t it only in the Half Immortal Domain? Frowning, Master Pu Zi fell into deep thought, before finally shaking his head, "I¡¯ve never heard of this person." Mo Wuji sighed to himself. Without any news about Lai Wanxing, he probably would not be able to find anything about Mo Tiancheng for some time. But still, completing his battleship was of the highest priority at the moment, and these issues could wait till after he advanced to Earthly Immortal Stage. "Have you heard of a cultivator named Ye Li then?" The reason that Mo Wuji asked about Ye Li was due to Ye Li¡¯s background. This was the information he obtained in the Half Moon Immortal Palace: Ye Li, wood affinity cultivator and a four star genius. On Yong Ying 844 Calendar, Year 7690, 3rd day of the 4th month, advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Stage, and entered the Yong Ying¡¯s 11th Prison. Stubborn... The most important part was that planet, which Mo Wuji suspected could be Earth. This time, Master Pu Zi replied confidently, "I¡¯ve heard of Ye Li before. He¡¯s an extraordinary genius. While his aptitude for cultivation could not compare to others, but he could somehow find a unique method if cultivation, even undergoing the Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation here. You must know that there are similar geniuses in the Half Immortal Domain, but not everyone can undergo the Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation in this domain." "Where is Ye Li from then?" Master Pu Zi replied by shaking his head, "This I do not know. I¡¯m not actually acquainted with him. I simply heard of these stories on the grapevine." ¡­ Two days later, Master Pu Zi stopped the flying ship. A grey and hazy scene emerged before the four of them. Both the sky and the ground had some sort of grey mist hanging over them. But since the day that Mo Wuji set foot in the Half Immortal Domain, this was the first time he had arrived at an area with a ground that was not completely black. "This is the Mining Area of Death?" Mo Wuji asked as he laid his eyes on the grey and misty area in front of him. "Yes. Perhaps you can¡¯t see anything when you scan the area with your spiritual will, but as long as you do it a few more times, you¡¯ll be able to barely see the spotty Colourless Leeches. Many cultivators stay at the outer borders of this area when stealing blackstone, and only dare to venture further inside after inspecting the surroundings repeatedly." Master Pu Zi explained. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had spread through this space, and it was as Master Pu Zi described. There were some spotted bugs that he could barely detect. These bugs were rather similar to regular leeches, and their soft bodies made one quite uncomfortable when looking at them." "Master Pu Zi added on, "Your spiritual will might be able to see part of them, but that¡¯s definitely not all of the leeches present. When you continue to inspect the are further, you¡¯ll definitely find more. The cultivators that come here to steal blackstone often get their bodies invaded by Colourless Leeches, hence no one dares to enter this area any further." Nodding his head, Mo Wuji took a step forward, at the same time forming his spiritual eye. In order to work with Master Pu Zi, he could hide it no longer. The grey scene before him suddenly cleared up, and indeed there were tens of Colourless Leeches in the vicinity that his spiritual will did not sense. "This...Eye of Spirituality¡­" Master Pu Zi took in a deep breath. He never imagined that Mo Wuji would possess an Eye of Spirituality. "Master Pu Zi, what¡¯s an eye of spirituality?" Jia Qi asked out of curiosity. At this point Master Pu Zi knew that Mo Wuji considered him as trustworthy, thus revealing the Eye of Spirituality. As such, there should be no more guarding against each other. This was the first time he felt some level of respect towards Mo Wuji. "The Eye of Spirituality is a kind of skill that is developed naturally. It is rumored that less than one in 10 million will possess this skill. This sort of spiritual eye is also called the Natural Dao Eye. It can see everything, even those hiding in the void. While the Colourless Leeches are adept in camouflaging themselves, under the Eye of Spirituality, there¡¯s nowhere for them to hide. However, it¡¯s a pity that the Eye of Spirituality can only sense the Colourless Leeches, and cannot eliminate them¡­" Master Pu Zi¡¯s stopped in the middle of his sentence, as he stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief once again. At this moment, Mo Wuji extended circle after circle of a pale green flame. Even though his spiritual will could only detect a few Colourless Leeches, they were turned to dust in an instant upon contact with the flame. "This is the Scholar¡¯s Heart¡­" Not only did Master Pu Zi recognise Mo Wuji¡¯s flame, but Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi did so as well. With both the Eye of Spirituality and Scholar¡¯s Heart, the Mining Area of Death was just a joke to Mo Wuji. The Colourless Leeches here were simply a type of wood affinity demonic bug, and the Scholar¡¯s Heart was the mortal enemy of such demonic bugs. Clenching his fist tightly, Master Pu Zi became agitated to the point that he began shaking. He had dreamt of this moment much longer than Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe. With such abilities, on top of the soon to be completed battleship, what was there to fear about crossing the Immortal Chasm? The light at the end of the tunnel finally shone through after staying in the Half Immortal Domain for such a long time. The radius of Mo Wuji¡¯s flame gradually increased, and through his spiritual eye, he could observe the countless Colourless Leeches in the void being reduced to nothingness. Once it was safe, he signalled to the rest of the group behind him, and they immediately understood what he meant, charging straight into the area demarcated by Mo Wuji¡¯s flame. "Master Pu Zi, don¡¯t you feel like we¡¯re not the only ones here?" Mo Wuji spoke with a serious tone. He had noticed the traces of array flags in the vicinity, which indicated that he was not the only one with means to enter the Mining Area of Death. Chapter 420: Piles of Blackstone Chapter 420: Piles of Blackstone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao friend Mo is right, there indeed are some traces of arrays left behind, but I¡¯ve never heard of anyone warding off Colourless Leeches with arrays before. So why would the person set up an array here?" Master Pu Zi replied with a stern face. To Master Pu Zi, the blackstone quarry could just take a backseat. The uncompleted battleship was the real priority. Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, if that person also has an extremely strong flame like myself, he can definitely block out the Colourless Leeches through arrays¡­" Before Mo Wuji could complete his sentence, Master Pu Zi interrupted him, "Dao friend Mo, you can use arrays to block out Colourless Leeches? Are you planning to mark out an area for me to complete the battleship, on top of searching for blackstone here?" If Mo Wuji could really do so, then it would be the best choice to finish up on the battleship in the Mining Area of Death. "Yes, I do have such an intention. What do you think about it?" Mo Wuji said as he looked towards Master Pu Zi. In his heart, Master Pu Zi instantly understood Mo Wuji¡¯s thoughts. If Mo Wuji could really set up such an array in the Mining Area of Death, then he would be able to carry on forging the battleship with a peace of mind. Moreover, the other intention would be to prevent him from leaving. Even after completing the battleship, he would not be able to take it out of the Mining Area of Death without Mo Wuji¡¯s permission. Master Pu Zi shot a gaze at Mo Wuji once more. He did not think that Mo Wuji was doing something wrong, as he would do the same in Mo Wuji¡¯s position. If Mo Wuji put the battleship into his hands after hearing a few words from him, that would make him even more uneasy. How would a callous cultivator steer them to the other side of the Immortal Chasm? No wonder he dared to face Lord Axe alone, and still managed to exchange some stone slags. The only unknown was how many stone slags he obtained. Was there a thousand? If so, then dao friend Mo was much stronger than imagined. The reason that Mo Wuji wanted to do things this way was to prevent others from disturbing Master Pu Zi from smithing. But just as Master Pu Zi had correctly interpreted, he also had to keep his guard up against Master Pu Zi. As long as he could set up the defensive array in the Mining Area of Death, then Master Pu Zi would be able to stay within it to forge the battleship, and would not be able to leave without his permission. This place was swarming with Colourless Leeches. Even if a flying ship could take off, the Colourless Leeches would swiftly invade the interior of it. "I agree, this is indeed a good location.: Master Pu Zi nodded his head in agreement of Mo Wuji¡¯s idea without hesitation. "Brother Mo, you said that there was someone that set up arrays around he? Could that person also be here to cultivate or hide?" Lou Chuanhe asked. If the other party was here only to mine for blackstone, then he would only have to sustain a defensive layer of fire, and would not have to set up any defensive arrays. "No, if I¡¯m not wrong, this person is probably here to mine blackstone. On top of that, his spiritual will can reach at least 10m below the surface. He set up an array here because there was a pile of blackstone here previously." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could detect the freshly dug soil. No matter how fast the black soil readjusted itself, there were still traces that blackstone had just been mined from the area. The reason why the person set up an array was due to the large amount if blackstone present. Jia Qi also understood what Mo Wuji meant, but since Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t seem to be on the same page, she continued to keep her mouth shut. "Dao friend Mo, when I¡¯m forging the battleship, I cannot be disturbed. Since someone has been here before, will he affect my smithing?" Master Pu Zi asked with a tinge of worry in his voice. Smiling, Mo Wuji replied, "No problem. I assure you that there will be no one else but us around. If my defensive array can be broken so easily, I wouldn¡¯t think of even coming here." When Master Pu Zi heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he heaved a sigh of relief. On the surface, it might seem like Mo Wuji¡¯s battleship was not a magic treasure. However, such a battleship was extremely challenging to forge, as every piece of material was difficult to cut or smelt. The carving of every single rune on it had to be done with utmost precision too. The slightest error could reduce the battleship¡¯s defensive capabilities. Otherwise, why would Wu You have gathered 10 of the most outstanding smiths to work on it? "Dao friend Mo, where will we set up camp?" Jia Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask as she saw that Mo Wuji had no intention of stopping. At this point, they were all like Master Pu Zi, simply following Mo Wuji into the depths of the Mining Area of Death, and anything that happened after that was beyond them. "There¡¯s no rush, wait till I find some blackstone." Mo Wuji replied. From the time that they entered the Mining Area of Death, Mo Wuji had found at least a few hundred blackstone with his spiritual will. The largest patch had even up to a few tens of them, but this was not enough to make Mo Wuji move. His number one priority for coming here was to forge the battleship, and the second was to cultivate. Mining for blackstone was only third on his list. Moreover, it was too close to the outside, and they had to move further inwards first. Since Jia Qi mentioned that someone had found thousands of blackstones in a mining area before, then it should be the same in the Mining Area of Death. Based on Mo Wuji¡¯s inference, since blackstone mines were called mines, those small collections of them were of no significance. The real mine would be a large patch of them, so even thousands of blackstones would not be considered as one. The deeper they went, the denser the Colourless Leeches in the air became. While everyone was protected in Mo Wuji¡¯s Scholar¡¯s heart, the endless sound of Colourless Leeches sizzling upon contact with it could be heard. A day passed by, and even Master Pu Zi became worried. A person had limited elemental energy and spiritual will. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, the amount of energy expended to maintain such a large veil of fire was definitely not small. Once the smallest of cracks appeared in the layer of Scholar¡¯s heart, and a few Colourless Leeches creep in, their lives would be over. Just as Master Pu Zi was about to voice out a reminder, Mo Wuji suddenly stopped. "Dao friend Mo, what¡¯s up?" The jittery Master Pu Zi asked. However, Mo Wuji did not respond immediately, as the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel stretched into the ground. The soil in the border of the Mining Area of Death seemed to be a different shade of grey from the soil here. Tens of breaths later, Mo Wuji lifted up his head and said to the group, "I suspect that there¡¯s a large patch of blackstone here, possibly over a thousand¡­" "Ah¡­" Upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, even Master Pu Zi stared at him with a gaping mouth. Master Pu Zi had the most experience in the Half Immortal Domain, hence he naturally knew what it meant to find over a thousand blackstones. "Dao friend Mo, are you sure?" Jia Qi couldn¡¯t believe what she just heard. She had heard of many blackstone patches of over a hundred, but those with over a thousand were really far and few between. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "I¡¯m sure, and a thousand is only a conservative estimate, because I can¡¯t sense if there¡¯s more any deeper." This was no lie. It was already a stretch for his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will to reach where the blackstone patch was, 20m into the ground. It looked to be just a small corner, and Mo Wuji suspected that there was much more blackstone underneath. Of course, this was just speculation. "How deep is it?" Master Pu Zi asked frantically. "Around 20m and below¡­" "..." The three of them stared at each other quizzically after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Didn¡¯t Mo Wuji say that he could find blackstone within 15m? So why can he sense those even 20m deep? "Dao friend Mo, is it really below 20m? Can you detect what¡¯s 15m beneath the ground?" Master Pu Zi spoke to rushedly. He had heard rumors of what these blackstones were for. If they could make it across the Immortal Chasm and into the Immortal Domain, it would be necessary to have as many blackstone as possible. "That¡¯s right, I can only sense 20m deep into the ground, which is why I can¡¯t confirm the amount of blackstone underneath. At the very least there¡¯s over a thousand. Everyone, I plan to set up a defensive array here. Brother Lou and dao friend Jia, please start digging at the position that I mark out. Once I¡¯ve completed the array, I will undergo closed door cultivation, while the two of you mine blackstone and Master Pu Zi forges the battleship, ok?" Mo Wuji said confidently. "Sure." Master Pu Zi immediately agreed. "I¡¯m ok too." Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi answered in unison. Mo Wuji had put in the most work while being of the lowest cultivation level, so it was natural for him to undergo closed door cultivation. After nodding his head, Mo Wuji carried on, "So let¡¯s discuss how we¡¯ll split the blackstone¡­" "I only want 10%." Lou Chuanhe was the first to respond. He did not want to put Mo Wuji in a spot, so he just made his request straight up. Only 10% for him, and now Master Pu Zi naturally could not ask for much more. Jia Qi spoke, "This time dao friend Mo contributed the most, followed by Master Pu Zi. Moreover, when we cross the Immortal Chasm, we still have to take the battleship, so 10% is enough for me too." Jia Qi original share was 20%, but that was when their basis of cooperation was for obtaining blackstone. Now, they only functioned as pure manual labour when mining for blackstone in the Mining Area of Death, while Mo Wuji and Master Pu Zi were the real cavalry. Seeing that Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi had already made their positions known, Master Pu Zi quickly spoke, "The first person we have to thank for the opportunity for everyone to come together to work is dao friend Mo. He probably did about 90% of the work. Moreover, as a team, we must have a leader, and dao friend Mo is the most suitable for the job. I¡¯ll only take 10% of the blackstone, so dao friend Mo will have 70%." Chapter 421: Reforging the Battleship Chapter 421: Reforging the Battleship Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji originally intended for each of the three to take 15%, and brought it up because it would reduce Jia Qi¡¯s share. Since they only wanted 10% per person, he would just take the rest graciously. Up till this point, he indeed played a significant part, regardless whether it was arriving here, blocking the Colourless Leeches, or finding blackstone. Without him, the group would have achieved nothing. In the world of cultivation, ability and rewards should come hand in hand. ¡­ With Master Pu Zi¡¯s help, Mo Wuji¡¯s speed of setting up the array went up. Any array flag that he needed would be produced upon request to Master Pu Zi. No wonder Master Pu Zi was considered one of the best smiths around. Even though he only helped to make array flags, any request given to him would be met, and there was no difficulty in using the flags produced at all. In the short span of six days, Mo Wuji completed the defences for an area 2,000m in radius. While Master Pu Zi was well versed in array dao, he was still shocked by Mo Wuji¡¯s work. He could not imagine how Mo Wuji could be so well learned in array dao, even incorporating the flame of the Scholar¡¯s Heart into the array. There were trap arrays and garrote arrays in there too. This meant that not only were Colourless Leeches blocked out, but other cultivators too, and Mo Wuji only took six days to set up such an array. As a smithing master, Master Pu Zi naturally had delved deep into array dao, but after looking at Mo Wuji¡¯s standard, he felt that he still had a long way to go. The first thing Mo Wuji did after finishing the defensive array was to take out the battleship. Seeing the battleship that gave off a frightening aura, Master Pu Zi leapt forward instantly, caressing its exterior. An expression of pure love and joy appeared on his face soon after. Mo Wuji did not speak, and he just waited for Master Pu Zi at one side. Indeed, Master Pu Zi turned around after touching the battleship all over, "The most challenging parts of the battleship have already been completed, otherwise even if you gave me 10,000 years, I would still be unable to finish it alone." Mo Wuji already knew that there were certain technologies incorporated into the battleship, and based on his speculation, Master Pu Zi was not from some technologically advanced planet either. "Master Pu Zi, most of this battleship seems to be forged from Celestial Sunflower Gold. Where did you obtain so much of it?" Since the day he got the battleship, Mo Wuji wanted to know the answer to this question. The higher Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation became, the more aware he was of the immense value of Celestial Sunflower Gold. Master Pu Zi gave out a sigh, "It was provided by Dao Lord Wu, and I don¡¯t know where he obtained so much of it from. However, on the battleship, there¡¯s materials of even higher quality than Celestial Sunflower Gold, but in very small quantities." Nodding his head, Mo Wuji responded, "After all, Celestial Sunflower Gold is something of the ordinary cultivation world. It probably isn¡¯t that valuable in the Immortal World." However, this incited Master Pu Zi¡¯s immediate reply, "You¡¯re wrong. Do you really think that there¡¯s nothing good in the cultivation world? Let me tell you, many things in the cultivation world are more valuable than those in the Immortal World, and this Celestial Sunflower Gold is one of those things. Even in the Immortal World, Celestial Sunflower Gold is a highly precious item. Moreover, most of the Celestial Sunflower Gold originate from the Immortal World and falls from it." When he heard Master Pu Zi¡¯s words, Mo Wuji was shocked, "Master Pu Zi, I have a piece of Celestial Sunflower Gold. Can you help me forge a flying ship after completing the battleship?" As he spoke, Mo Wuji took out the piece of Celestial Sunflower Gold in his possession. "Good stuff." Master Pu Zi praised as he laid eyes on Mo Wuji¡¯s Celestial Sunflower Gold, "Dao friend Mo, the rarest part of this piece of Celestial Sunflower Gold is its completeness. Such a large and complete piece of Celestial Sunflower Gold is difficult to obtain even in the Immortal World." Pleased, Mo Wuji carried on, "Then I request for Master Pu Zi to forge a flying ship with it." From the time he entered Zhen Xing till now, Mo Wuji never had a flying magic treasure of his own. All he had were spoils of war, and while there were a few decent ones, he still desired for one to call his own. Celestial Sunflower Gold was rumored to be able to cross the universe, so who knew if he could use his own flying ship to return to Earth one day? "There¡¯s no problem with that. Dao friend Mo, what do you want to be forged?" Master Pu Zi replied. With a wave of his hand, Mo Wuji took out a flying car, "Master Pu Zi, please take reference from this flying car." Upon seeing the flying car that Mo Wuji took out, Master Pu Zi was a little stunned. The flying car was too run down, and of rather low quality. "Dao friend Mo, if it¡¯s for travelling through space, I¡¯ll suggest going with the shape of the battleship. Although the flying car is both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, but it¡¯s not very suitable for the environment of space." Master Pu Zi couldn¡¯t help it. It would be too much of a waste to use such a large piece of Celestial Sunflower Gold on this. Yet, Mo Wuji shook his head, "Master Pu Zi, just use the shape of this flying car as reference. I¡¯ll take care of the rest." As someone who spent many years in space, how could he not have known that what Master Pu Zi said made sense. But he did not mind, because he could just add various arrays to supplement the shortfalls of the flying car in space. The flying car that he took out was Cen Shuyin¡¯s. Now that Shuyin was no longer with him, having a flying car replica of hers was a form his memories of her. "Ok, since dao friend Mo is so sure, I¡¯ll forge a perfect flying car for you." Master Pu Zi replied. After agreeing to Mo Wuji¡¯s request, he dove straight into working on the battleship, as though as he did not want to waste more time on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not continue to disturb Master Pu Zi or the other two either. As Mo Wuji said that there was a large patch of blackstone here, Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe expanded their digging area, hence they only hit a few metres deep after many days. Everyone delved into their tasks, and Mo Wuji began to set up his own cave for cultivation. ... It had been over a month since Mo Wuji and co. left the Half Immortal Domain, and other than the enraged Lord Axe, no one in the Half Immortal Domain really bothered with these minor characters. What made Lord Axe infuriated was that he had spent so much, but only got the support of Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Dao Lord, Guang Quan, to allow him to kill Mo Wuji for any reason at all, yet Mo Wuji disappeared completely. This guy broke the defensive array of his hideout, and took away 5,000 spirit stone slags. If he, Hong Fuji, could not strangle Mo Wuji to death with his two bare hands, he would not be able to take it. As for the blackstone that Mo Wuji used to exchange for the spirit stone slags, he ignored them totally. ¡­ At the same time, inside Mo Wuji¡¯s defensive array, everything was as peaceful as it could be. Mo Wuji¡¯s heavenly fire defensive array had been standing strong for over a month, and all Colourless Leeches knew how frightening it was. Initially, countless Colourless Leeches would continue to approach it, but now, other than a rare few, most of them would avoid this area. Within the defensive array, the gigantic battleship gradually became more complete. As for Master Pu Zi, he never looked up from the battleship a single time. If there were any commotion made, it would be the sound of Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe mining for blackstone. "Brother Lou, we¡¯re almost at 20m, but there¡¯s no blackstone." Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe was already familiar with each other after spending a month digging through the black soil together. Even the original title of ¡®dao friend Lou¡¯ changed to ¡®brother Lou¡¯. At first, she did not really speak much other than with Master Pu Zi. After getting to know Mo Wuji, she started to open up a little more. Now that she had interacted with Lou Chuanhe, she found that Lou Chuanhe was similar to Mo Wuji, and soon developed a sense of kinship towards him. Lou Chuanhe chuckled, "Sister Jia, brother Mo is not an ordinary person. I believe that he did not make a mistake. In the Universal Canyon, we were trapped for so long, and only brother Mo found the way out. Otherwise, we¡¯ll still be stuck inside there. While there¡¯s acute wood energy here, but it¡¯s much more comfortable than that constricted canyon. Laughing, Jia Qi replied, "I naturally trust brother Mo, but blackstone can move...ah¡­" Jia Qi abruptly stopped mid sentence. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to continue, but she was completely stunned by the scene before her. Not only did it stun Jia Qi, but also Lou Chuanhe. In the location that they ust dug, row after row of blackstone lined up neatly, most of them in the shape of a snowflake. With a quick count, there were hundreds present. A few breaths later, Lou Chuanhe took in a deep breath, "This blackstone¡­" "There¡¯s not only a thousand here, it probably exceeds 10,000¡­" Jia Qi was excited to the point that her hands began shaking. At this point, even though her spiritual will could not penetrate much deeper, she knew that it was all blackstone below this. Finding one of such a blackstone mine would be enough. Lou Chuanhe shook his head, "No, not only 10,000, there could be even more than 100,000. I suspect that this is the true source of all blackstone in the Half Immortal Domain, and all other blackstone escapes from here." "That may not be true, after all this is over 20m below ground level. Perhaps there¡¯s much more blackstone more than 20m below the surface in the Half Immortal Domain and everyone hasn¡¯t found it yet." Jia Qi¡¯s spiritual will quickly swept past the areas that Mo Wuji was cultivating and Master Pu Zi was forging the battleship before carrying on, "Brother Lou, let¡¯s dig all of this blackstone up quickly. Once Master Pu Zi¡¯s battleship is complete we might have to get ready to cross the Immortal Chasm." "Ok." Lou Chuanhe replied, and thus they began to dig up blackstone wildly. ¡­ On the outside of Mo Wuji¡¯s defensive array, an endless stream of spiritual energy was swept over, forming a raging river of energy. This spiritual energy flowed straight to the area that Mo Wuji was undergoing closed door cultivation at. There was no holding back at this place. As over a hundred spirit stone slags turned to dust and were swept to one side, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level advanced into Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8. This was only the beginning, and hundreds of spirit stone slags were taken out once again. At this moment, all grades of spiritual energy surrounding him merged together and enveloped him completely, bringing his cultivation level ever closer to Worldly Immortal Stage Level 9 at a frightening pace. Chapter 422: The Disappointing New Meridian Chapter 422: The Disappointing New Meridian Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Brother, there¡¯s actually someone cultivating here, and with such an insane aura?" Outside Mo Wuji¡¯s defensive array, two men suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Both men were like Mo Wuji previously, with a circle of fire around them. They had a tall physique, and had similar appearances. With a single look, you could see that they were brothers related by blood. The only distinguishing feature was that the guy that spoke was a little plump, while the person referred to as ¡®brother¡¯ was rather skinny. "This is definitely a top notch genius. If he¡¯s also at the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal Stage, by my estimates he¡¯ll undergo heavenly tribulation to advance to Heavenly Immortal Stage soon." The ¡®brother¡¯ responded. "I¡¯m quite curious how this guy came here? Even if he could set up an array, it shouldn¡¯t be suddenly in such a location right? This is the deepest region of the Mining Area of Death." The plump cultivator frowned. To that, the elder brother chided back, "How many times have I told you, don¡¯t think that we¡¯re that impressive. Yes, we were able to get the seed of heart fire by a good stroke of luck. However, the universe is so vast, and us brothers are not the only people who encounter good opportunities. Are you sure that those that can come to this point do not have their own flame or tricks? Moreover, this guy¡¯s skill with arrays is many times greater than ours. At the very least i can¡¯t set up this sort of array." The younger brother seemed to be used to such a scolding, and replied nonchalantly, "Brother, do you think we should greet this guy? This person definitely does not dare to go to the Half Immortal Domain if he¡¯s hiding to cultivate here. We¡¯ll have strength in numbers. We¡¯ve dug quite a lot of blackstone, but what can we do if we simply pile them up here?" After thinking for a while, the elder brother nodded his head, "You¡¯re right, but let¡¯s not disturb other people¡¯s cultivation. We¡¯ll set up a simple defensive array out here, and also a cave for cultivation. There¡¯s not many Colourless Leeches here, so this is a good place to wait for this guy to come out of closed door cultivation. If we can get on good terms with him, them let¡¯s form a group together. Otherwise, we¡¯ll leave." ¡­ As time passed by, the spirit stone slags around Mo Wuji crumbled to dust one by one. Worldly Immortal Stage Level 10¡­ Worldly Immortal Stage Level 11¡­ When the thousand spirit stone slags that Mo Wuji threw out turned to dust as the previous ones did, his cultivation level charged into a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 12 without any obstructions. Without any hesitation, Mo Wuji took out all the remaining spirit stone slags. At this point, the 106 meridians in his body had already formed a much larger scale major circulation pathway. Originally, one spirit stone slag took a period of time before it shattered, but as Mo Wuji¡¯s reverse major circulation route formed, the surrounding spirit stone slags began popping one after another like bubbles. Intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage Level 12, advanced Worldly Immortal Stage Level 12... "Boom!" It seemed like something had burst open, and Mo Wuji felt as though as there were no obstructions in his body. His rate of absorbing spiritual energy rose by multiple times too. The Great Circle of Worldly Immortal Stage Level 12, and his 107th meridian had been forced open. "Crack crack crack crack!" At this instant, all of the spirit stone slags around him shattered together into a cloud of dust. Mo Wuji suddenly charged out of the cave, and left the defensive array. The next moment, rumbling noises appeared in the sky above the Mining Area of Death. "Boom! Crack crack crack!" Tens of lightning bolts rapidly shot down from the sky, aimed directly at Mo Wuji who had just exited the defensive array. ¡­ "Brother, this guy is actually undergoing the Heavenly Immortal heavenly tribulation here? Does he not fear the people of the Immortal Domain?" The two cultivators by the side of Mo Wuji;s defensive array stared at Mo Wuji in the midst of the lightning storm. Shaking his head, the skinny brother replied, "Perhaps he hopes to enter the Immortal Domain though such a method. Isn¡¯t it rumored that those who advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage after the heavenly tribulation get the chance to enter the Immortal Domain?" "Brother Po Qin told us that the cultivators that successfully pass through the Heavenly Immortal heavenly tribulation are taken away by those from the Immortal Domain with bad intentions." "Who knows if they really have bad intentions? If brother Po Qin didn¡¯t say anything, we wouldn¡¯t know either." the skinny cultivator shook his head once more. "Then should we pass on this piece of news to him?" The younger brother looked at the lightning bolts in the sky and felt rather fearful. The strength of this lightning tribulation was a little to frightening. "Wait, why doesn¡¯t this look like a Heavenly Immortal¡¯s heavenly tribulation? Could this guy be undergoing the Earthly Immortal heavenly tribulation? That¡¯s a little too far fetched right?" The elder brother could sense that something was weird about Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning tribulation. The plump younger brother could feel the difference too, and continued after observing a while longer, "Brother, if this is his Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation...How could our own Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation even compare to this?" Both brothers had the seed of the heart fire, hence their Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation was already much stronger than ordinary cultivators. But now they found that Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning tribulation was many times stronger than theirs. "We should wait here until after he has completed the heavenly tribulation, then we¡¯ll go to greet him. This guy is not simple. No matter what, we¡¯ll pass on brother Po Qin¡¯s message to him." As the lightning bolts that enveloped Mo Wuji became thicker, the elder brother¡¯s expression turned more stern. ¡­ Such a oppressive aura for heavenly tribulation even startled Master Pu Zi who was within the battleship, much less Jia Qi and Lou Chuanhe who were mining for blackstone outside. "Brother Mo is undergoing his Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation...:" Lou Chuanhe was the first to charge out from him small mine. This patch of blackstone was far too big, and on top of that blackstone was extremely difficult to dig, thus after a year of digging, they were still unable to completely mine out all of the blackstone in the area. Other than the initial agitation, mining blackstone soon became a mundane task. "Master Pu Zi, you¡¯re done forging the battleship?" Jia Qi came charging out as well. No matter how precious something is, once you obtained a certain number of it, its value in your eyes would fall too. What¡¯s more, at that point in time, they only knew that blackstone could be used to exchange for spirit stone slags and Wood Dissolving Pills. "It¡¯s basically complete. Is dao friend Mo undergoing the Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation? It¡¯s a little too strong isn¡¯t it?" Master Pu Zi gave a half hearted reply, before turning back to Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning tribulation and sighing. "Eh, since when did these people appear outside?" Up till this point in time, Master Pu Zi did not notice the two brothers who were observing Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning tribulation from the outside. Lou Chuanhe chuckled, "Master Pu Zi, these two men have been here for almost a year. I believe that they are waiting for brother Mo to come out from closed door cultivation and do not mean any harm¡­" In Mo Wuji¡¯s defensive array, there were concealment arrays too, so people from the outside could not observe what was happening on the inside, while those on the inside could clearly see the former. "..." It seemed like Master Pu Zi did not hear Lou Chuanhe¡¯s words, and he suddenly rushed to the location where Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi were mining blackstone. For a whole year, he had been completely focused on the battleship, without a care for what happened elsewhere. Hence, now that he saw the blackstone mine, why wouldn''t he be shocked? "Master Pu Zi, the amount of blackstone in here is extremely shocking. Brother Lou and I have dug for over a year, and we¡¯re still not done. I¡¯m not sure how many there are in here exactly." Jia Qi explained by Master Pu Zi¡¯s side. Staring a little longer at the blackstone mine before him, Master Pu Zi finally spoke, "Impressive." To this, Jia Qi did not respond, as she understood the meaning behind Master Pu Zi¡¯s words. He did not mean that she and Lou Chuanhe were impressive, but that Mo Wuji was impressive. "Let¡¯s go to watch dao friend Mo undergo his heavenly tribulation first." Master Pu Zi suddenly spoke with sentiment. At this point, he had even more faith in his heart than when he was forging the battleship. In a mere year¡¯s time, Mo Wuji could charge from Worldly Immortal Stage to Earthly Immortal Stage. Even if he was previously at the peak of Worldly Immortal Stage, it was not a simple feat to ignite the Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation within a year. Since Mo Wuji was already that strong of a Worldly Immortal, what Master Pu Zi wanted to know was how much stronger he would get after advancing to Earthly Immrotal Stage. "Boom boom boom!" Thick bolts of lightning completely stunned the three of them. If Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning tribulation was considered strong before, it was understandable, but the strength of the lightning bolts that Mo Wuji was facing now was just beyond their imagination. "Could this be a Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation?" Lou Chuanhe asked while in shock. He had also undergone the Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation before, but it was the complete opposite of Mo Wuji¡¯s. With a stern tone, Master Pu Zi replied, "No, dao friend Mo is still undergoing the Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation. I¡¯ve seen a Heavenly Immortal lightning tribulation before, and it¡¯s not like this. It¡¯s not that this is not strong enough, but it¡¯s lacking the presence of some immortal dao." "This is too strong." Jia Qi exclaimed. If she faced such a lightning tribulation, she would probably perish. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning tribulation seemed endless, as wave after wave of lightning bolts seemingly engulfed the entirety of his body. But this only caused him bones and muscles to hurt, and did not pose a fatal threat. Moreover, the spiritual energy that came with the lightning tribulation served as a source of constant replenishment for him as he charged at full speed towards the realm of an Earthly Immortal. "Crack crack crack!" As another few tens of thick lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji, the barrier between Worldly and Earthly Immortal shattered, causing his cultivation level to rise rapidly. All of the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked into him, and he soon stabilised at the Earthly Immortal Stage . As though as they could sense Mo Wuji¡¯s ascension to Earthly Immortal Stage, the lightning bolts began to ease up, and lost the wildness that came with the initial few strikes. At the moment, Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly, even forgetting to continue stabilising his cultivation level, as the function of his 107th meridian made him both agitated and disappointed. The 107th meridian was actually a vitality channel which could contain an endless amount of vitality. Even if he fell in battle, as long as his vitality channel was still intact, he would still have the chance to live on. That¡¯s right, he indeed did not possess a primordial spirit, so once his body died, he would die for real. However, things were different now, as he had an additional vitality channel, which was much more useful that a primordial spirit. The only disappointment was that he did not open this vitality channel earlier, otherwise, would Shuyin still have died? With the vitality channel, he could have saved Shuyin¡¯s spirit before it shattered. But now, he could only regret. Now, the last lightning bolt disappeared as well. Sensing Mo Wuji¡¯s oppressive aura, not a single Colourless Leech would dare to approach him even if he did not have the defensive layer of heavenly fire. Chapter 423: Immortal-Traversing Ship Chapter 423: Immortal-Traversing Ship Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Big brother, that person actually managed to pass such a strong lightning calamity. And that crazy absorption of spiritual energy, is he not afraid of the acute wood energy here? Doesn¡¯t he know that Wood Dissolving Pills could only hold back, but not completely stop the woodification of spirit channels?" This slightly fat cultivator had been observing Mo Wuji¡¯s tribulation anxiously, and now that Mo Wuji had passed the lightning calamity, this cultivator was rather confused. The other cultivator shook his head, "I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the case either. Perhaps he has some way to resolve the acute wood energy. In the history of Half Immortal Domain, have any of the people that could undergo tribulation been simple? Moreover, this person is even undergoing his tribulation in the Mining Area of Death, but did you see him being affected by the Colourless Leeches? The lightning clouds above the Mining Area of Death had already dispersed, Mo Wuji had also already changed into a new set of clothes and landed in front of these two cultivators. With 5,000 spirit stone slags, coupled with the spiritual energy from the Mining Area of Death, Mo Wuji was able to break through from Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7 to Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1; Mo Wuji was already very satisfied. "Is there any reason why you¡¯re looking for me?" Mo Wuji only needed a single gaze at the defensive array around these two people to know that they have already been here for a long time. "Tong Cheng greets this dao friend. This is my younger brother, Tong Ye. Because we¡¯ve always been here in the Mining Area of Death, we are filled with admiration for this dao friend to be able to cultivate here. We wanted to get acquainted with you," The slightly thinner cultivator hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Mo Wuji. Inside, he was actually filled with shock; Mo Wuji¡¯s speed was so fast. The tribulation seemed like it had just ended but Mo Wuji had already appeared in front of him, and had even changed into a new set of clothes. "Tong Ye greets this dao friend." The slightly fatter younger brother was filled with admiration towards Mo Wuji. To be able to install such a huge array here, and to even undergo tribulation, Mo Wuji was simply a god-like existence. Mo Wuji nodded. He could also guess that these two people did not have any evil intentions, otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t publicly install their array right outside of his. Just to befriend him, they had stayed and waited here for an entire year; this was the first time that Mo Wuji had seen such a thing. "I¡¯m called Mo Wuji. Your flames are rather special." After Mo Wuji returned the greetings, his gaze landed on the two¡¯s defenses. Mo Wuji had interacted with heavenly fire before, but these two brother¡¯s flames seemed to be a different kind of flame from heavenly fire. If not for his sensitivity to flames, he would not have noticed this. With a simple will from Tong Cheng, the flames suddenly got more intense. From its dark red surface, its temperature could not be seen. But from its terrifying aura, Mo Wuji could still feel it. "Dao Friend Mo, it was by chance that us brothers managed to obtain a heart fire seed. After milleniums of nurturing, we finally have today¡¯s results. Compared to dao friend¡¯s heavenly fire, our heart fire is still far away," After stimulating his flames, Tong Cheng said humbly. "These flames are indeed very strong. The two of you, please wait for awhile. I still have some friends in my array, after I discuss with them, I would invite the two of you into my array." Mo Wuji was very clear of the purpose behind why Tong Cheng demonstrated the power of his fire: these two brothers must also have offended someone in Half Immortal Domain. Thus, they were unable to go back. Showing his flames was also a demonstration of his strength, indicating that the two of them had sufficient abilities to become Mo Wuji¡¯s comrades." "Dao Friend Mo, please." Tong Cheng clasped his fists once more. Mo Wuji turned and entered his own array. Within his array, Master Pu Zi was still completing his battleship. Whether it was completed or not, he couldn¡¯t casually let it be seen by other people. "Dao Friend Mo, your lightning calamity was too ferocious." The moment Mo Wuji entered the array, Master Pu Zi chortled and welcomed him. To him, the stronger Mo Wuji was, the better. "Congratulations Junior Mo." Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi also came to congratulate Mo Wuji¡¯s ascension to an Earthly Immortal. Mo Wuji smiled and was about to speak, however, his spiritual will suddenly noticed the blackstone mine not faraway. He immediately said in shock, "This blackstone mine is actually so amazing?" "Right, Junior Jia Qi and I have already dug up close to 1,000,000 blackstones, and there¡¯s still many more. This could really be the biggest blackstone mine in Half Immortal Domain," Lou Chuanhe said excitedly. Mo Wuji knew that this blackstone mine was filled, but he never expected it to reach such a degree. From the looks of it, they did not need to go elsewhere to excavate for blackstone. Previously, inviting Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi was indeed the right choice. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have so much time to excavate blackstone. "Master Pu Zi¡­" However, Mo Wuji did not care too much about the blackstone, it was something that he could easily find. What he cared about was his battleship. He only said the three words "Master Pu Zi" before being drawn away by a glorious battleship by the side. Before Master Pu Zi even said anything, Mo Wuji had already lifted his feet and jumped onto the battleship, extending his hand to caress the cold surface of the cannon fort. The exterior of the battleship exuded a faint cold energy; multiple runes joined together to form various kinds of magical arrays. "Dao Friend Mo, the battleship has already been completed. It¡¯s only waiting for you to install the various cannons," Master Pu Zi said contentedly by the side. Even though the majority of the battleship was already done, he had still spent an entire year to fully complete it. Mo Wuji walked to the control panel of the battleship; there were at least ten handles here. He extended his hand and pulled on the "Cut" handle, but there did not seem to be any reaction. Walking to Mo Wuji¡¯s side, Master Pu Zi explained, "Dao Friend Mo, this "Cut" is one of the close ranged attacks of the battleship. It¡¯s just that we don¡¯t have a power source, so we can¡¯t display its power." "Not only does this battleship have far-ranged attacks, it even has closed-ranged attacks?" Mo Wuji uttered in pleasant surprise; his satisfaction towards this battleship raised by a few points. Master Pu Zi said proudly, "That¡¯s of course. Otherwise, what do we do in a close-ranged battle? The moment we have a power source, when we pull the "Cut" handle, two huge cross knives will come out from the two wings of the battleship. The battleship then can easily use the cross knives to cut other battleships in half. Besides the cross knives, the battleship¡¯s closed-ranged capabilities still include the "Laser" handle, "Lightning" handle¡­" "What¡¯s the power source of this battleship?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was urgent. When Master Pu Zi heard Mo Wuji¡¯s question, his expression dimmed as he said, "It uses spirit stone slags, and it¡¯s no small amount. I estimate that for us to traverse the Immortal Chasm, we would need tens of millions of spirit stone slags, and that¡¯s still a conservative estimate." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk, even though Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t say it, he could also guess that spirit stone slags weren¡¯t the most optimal power source for the battleship. It was just that the best power source they could find currently was the spirit stone slag. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s silence, Master Pu Zi was also very helpless. The spirit stone slags were from the Immortal Realm, and this was not a problem that they could solve. To reach the Immortal Realm, they would need to traverse the Immortal Chasm. But to traverse the Immortal Chasm, they needed spirit stone slags. Thus, the vicious cycle. "Dao Friend Mo, I¡¯ve helped you forge your flying car." Master Pu Zi brought out a flying car the size of a palm and handed it to Mo Wuji. He did not wish for Mo Wuji to be dispirited over the problem of the power source. After all, this also affected his own fate. This was a true peak grade flying treasure. Master Pu Zi had stayed in Half Immortal Domain for a long time; he had participated in the completion of the battleship, and had also developed the storage ring that could store blackstone. Even though he had never interacted with immortal equipments, the flying treasure that he forged was already much better than a top grade spiritual equipment. Holding the flying car in his hand, Mo Wuji was once again reminded on Shuyin. The flying car was incomparably exquisite, almost exactly the same as the one that Shuyin gave him. Mo Wuji silently kept the flying car. After some time, he finally said, "Master Pu Zi, wait till we collect enough spirit stone slags before we install the cannons." Installing the cannons was very simple. However, since they didn¡¯t have any spirit stone slags, even if they installed the cannons, they wouldn¡¯t get the battleship to move. "Junior Mo, since the battleship has been completed, why don¡¯t you name it." Lou Chuanhe¡¯s words pulled Mo Wuji back from his emotions. "Right, since this battleship will help us to traverse across the Immortal Chasm, I must come up with a name for it. Let me think¡­" Mo Wuji pondered for a brief moment before continuing, "This battleship will be called the Immortal-Traversing Ship." "This name is not bad, expressing our determination to traverse the Immortal Chasm," Master Pu Zi said promptly. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and kept the battleship. At the same time, he pulled out an array flag, opening the array. He shouted to the Tong brothers, "Two dao friends, please come in." Even though they had to wait for quite a long time, Tong Cheng and Tong Ye did not mind. After spending years in the Mining Area of Death, their patience had far exceeded an average person. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn¡¯t have simply stayed outside Mo Wuji¡¯s array for a year. "Eh, you¡¯re Master Pu Zi?" The moment Tong Cheng entered, he noticed Master Pu Zi and uttered in shock. Master Pu Zi felt that Tong Cheng and Tong Ye were rather familiar. However, he did not know the two¡¯s name. Seeing that the two people recognised him, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I¡¯m Pu Zi, may I know the two of you are?" Tong Cheng hurriedly replied,"We¡¯ve once accepted the pointers of Master Bo Qin. Master Bo Qin talks a lot about you." "Bo Qin? He¡¯s still around?" Glee emerged in Master Pu Zi¡¯s eyes as he continued to ask urgently. Tong Cheng¡¯s expression dimmed, "Master Bo Qin has been forced by Meng Tianyu into this Mining Area of Death. When we first met Master Bo Qin, his spirit channels have already been completed woodified by the Colourless Leech." Master Pu Zi sighed. After some time, he said to Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Mo, this Dao Friend Bo Qin was with me when I first started to complete the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Since he was pursued by Meng Tianyu, if I¡¯m not wrong, Meng Tianyu must have had informants." Originally, when Tong Cheng and Tong Ye saw that Master Pu Zi was also in the array, they thought that Master Pu Zi was the leader of this group of people. But now when they heard Master Pu Zi explain to Mo Wuji, the two knew that Mo Wuji was actually the leader. "Ah¡­ So many blackstones¡­" Tong Ye¡¯s spiritual will had already seen the blackstone ores, and he cried out in exclamation. At the same time, Tong Cheng had also seen the blackstone ores and he was incomparably shocked. Even though they knew that so many blackstones could not be taken away, they were still surprised. "If the two of you are hiding here, you should have offended someone in Half Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. Fortunately, Tong Cheng and Tong Ye had been in the Mining Area of Death for many years, and they had seen several huge blackstone mines. After a brief moment of shock, they recovered their calm. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Tong Cheng sighed, "Yes, we brothers have offended Hong Fuji. This fella also has a nickname, called Lord Axe..." Chapter 424: Returning to The Half Immortal Domain Chapter 424: Returning to The Half Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji smiled, "These two dao friends are like me. I have also offended Hong Fuji, which is why I¡¯m here." "Then let¡¯s team up with one another, we have six people here, I believe that we have a chance of survival if we leave the Mining Area of Death," Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Tong Ye said excitedly. There was one sentence he did not say however. Even if they didn¡¯t leave the Mining Area of Death, they would still be able to survive in this huge array of Mo Wuji¡¯s. Jia Qi looked at Tong Ye, thinking: This fella sure is straightforward. Mo Wuji agreed, "I think the same. Strength come from numbers. I don¡¯t intend to continue staying in the Mining Area of Death, I¡¯m prepared to excavate these blackstones and return to Half Immortal Domain. Do you two dare to follow me back?" Tong Cheng and Tong Ye glanced at each other; Tong Cheng was hesitating slightly. He was very clear of Hong Fuji¡¯s power. Not only that, Hong Fuji had ties with Guang Quan. The moment they entered Half Immortal Domain, they might get trapped and it would be hard for them to escape again. "Big brother, if we must die, we must die with glory. We¡¯ve stayed in the Mining Area of Death for so long. Every time, we must sneakily find people to exchange for some Wood Dissolving Pills. Continuing any further is just dragging out an ignoble existence. I agree with Dao Friend Mo, to go back to Half Immortal Domain. What can that Hong Fuji do to us? We¡¯ve also not wasted the past few years doing nothing," Tong Ye saw his bigger brother hesitating and immediately said loudly. Tong Cheng understood the meaning behind Tong Ye¡¯s words; over these few years, the two brothers had learnt several strong fire-type skills while they were in the Mining Area of Death. These were also their hidden cards. And Tong Ye was right; the Colourless Leeches in the Mining Area of Death couldn¡¯t do anything to them, but the acute wood energy was still unbearable. Even if they didn¡¯t cultivate, the acute wood energy would still seep deeper and deeper into their spirit channels. "Alright, us brothers will follow Brother Mo back to Half Immortal Domain. Since we¡¯ve decided to go on this path, why would we need to hesitate. Those years ago, Dao Lord Wu had killed the Heavenly Immortal Feng Cai but he¡¯s still alive. Even though we can¡¯t compare to Dao Lord Wu, it doesn¡¯t mean that we don¡¯t dare to even return back to Half Immortal Domain." Tong Cheng firmed his decision and said resolutely. "Alright, I believe that the two of you won¡¯t be disappointed." Mo Wuji was also very happy, he had won himself two strong comrades. By comrades, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t referring to comrades for a battle in Half Immortal Domain. Honestly, he really didn¡¯t put Hong Fuji in his eyes at all. Now that he was in Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1, killing Hong Fuji wasn¡¯t very difficult. His skills and sacred arts were very different, as long as he reached a certain level, he wouldn¡¯t be killed simply because he was surrounded. Back when he was surrounded by billions of space beasts, didn¡¯t he still turn out fine? When the time comes, even if Hong Fuji gathers more Earthly Immortal experts, he would still kill without mercy. To survive in Half Immortal Domain, wasn¡¯t it just a simple display of power. If Hong Fuji wanted to deal with Mo Wuji, then he can send his forces over, Mo Wuji won¡¯t retreat a single step. Actually, the comrades that Mo Wuji was thinking of were the comrades for the Immortal-Traversing Ship. With him controlling the Immortal-Traversing Ship, he would still need some people to assist him. With the Tong brothers, he would have an additional layer of force. However, if the two Tong brothers did not even dare to return to Half Immortal Domain, then Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t even have considered them. Even if they worked together, Mo Wuji would not bring them on board his Immortal-Traversing Ship. "It¡¯s unfortunate about the blackstone here. If Dao Lord Wu is still around, he would definitely have been able to dig them all out." Tong Ye thought that Mo Wuji was going to leave immediately, hence, he looked at the blackstone mine reluctantly. Master Pu Zi explained by the side, "Those years ago, Dao Lord Wu had killed a Heavenly Immortal expert. From that expert, he managed to obtain a storage ring which could also store blackstone." Lou Chuanhe chuckled, "The two of you don¡¯t have to be worried, we also have rings which can store blackstone. These two rings were forged by Master Pu Zi." When Tong Cheng heard these words, he was instantly enlivened, "Master Bo Qin was right. Master Pu Zi is indeed able of forging rings which can store blackstones. This sort of forging techniques, is no lesser than immortal smiths. We brothers have also managed to dig some blackstones over the years, we want to borrow the master¡¯s ring to store those blackstones¡­" After spending so many years in the Mining Area of Death, coupled with their ability to scan up to 9 meters into the black soil, the Tong brothers have accumulated more than 10,000 blackstones. These blackstones had been hidden within the black soil. Even though the Tong brothers had installed an array, after some time, some of the blackstones would still escape. Master Pu Zi did not answer, but turned to face Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not even think as he said, "Dao Friend Jia Qi, pass one of the rings to Dao Friend Tong Cheng. Let them store his blackstones. We will excavate all the blackstone here, then head back to Half Immortal Domain." When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the two brothers were filled with admiration. This was indeed a forthright man. A ring that could store blackstone was casually lent to them. He didn¡¯t even ask them when they would return, nor did he send anyone to follow them. Since Mo Wuji was so magnanimous, Tong Cheng naturally wouldn¡¯t be petty. He did not get Tong Ye to follow him, but instructed Tong Ye to help excavate the blackstone. Thereafter, he left the array alone to get his blackstones. ¡­ Just two days later, Tong Cheng returned back to the array. He even took the initiative to pass the ring to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji scanned the ring briefly with his spiritual will; Tong Cheng had brought over more than 10,000 blackstones. In Half Immortal Domain, this would be an astronomical number. ¡­ The six continued to dig with all their efforts. The effect wasn¡¯t a simple addition of numbers. The most difficult part about digging blackstone was the restorative powers of the soil. Sometimes, they would dig 30 centimeters down, but before they could dig a second time, 2 inches would have already been recovered. Now that there were six people digging, this blackstone mine was soon broken down. In merely half a month, the entire blackstone mine had disappeared. Including the blackstones that Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi dug previously, they managed to obtain over 1,300,000 blackstones. The Tong brothers indicated that they were not interested in it. After all, before they came, already 1,000,000 blackstones had been excavated. To them, as long as Mo Wuji could help them bring their own blackstones away, it would be enough. "We can return back to Half Immortal Domain." Mo Wuji waved his hand and sent back the piles of black soil back to fill the holes. In this half a month, his cultivation at Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 had fully stabilised. ¡­ Multiple days later. An ordinary flying ship stopped outside of Half Immortal Domain. No one cared about this flying ship; there were too many of such flying ships. Many of the cultivators that go to the allocated mining areas would not board the Half Immortal Domain¡¯s flying ship, but ride their own flying treasures. However, the person who alighted from the flying ship was quickly recognised. "Isn¡¯t that the newbie Mo Wuji from those years ago?" One of the cultivators that just walked out of Half Immortal Domain uttered in shock. Mo Wuji was not famous, but the things that he did were too notorious. It¡¯s said that he was adept with arrays, and he actually destroyed the immortal estate of a person within Half Immortal Domain, heavily injuring this cultivator, then stealing all his things. This matter had enraged the Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Lord Axe. As a result, Lord Axe issued a wanted poster throughout Half Immortal Domain, all for Mo Wuji¡¯s name. It didn¡¯t matter who. If they could find traces of Mo Wuji, they would be rewarded with 300 spirit stone slags. 300 spirit stone slags ah, how many blackstones were required to exchange for this? Even in the underground exchange, it would require at least 20 blackstones. Clearly, it wasn¡¯t just this one cultivator that recognised Mo Wuji. In a short period of time, Mo Wuji and co. were being stared at by many cultivators. However, none of these cultivators acted against them. Even though 300 spirit stone slags were a lot, it would not be enough to selling their lives to Lord Axe. If they could enter Half Immortal Domain, which of these cultivators were fools? What destruction of a cultivator¡¯s immortal estate? What robbing of that cultivator? These were clearly excuses found by Lord Axe. It all boiled down to the fact that this Mo Wuji had offended Lord Axe. A cultivator that could even offend Lord Axe, how could he be a weakling? Who would want to fight with him for that bit of spirit stone slags? Moreover, this person was accompanied by five others. If he dared to return, it meant that he wasn¡¯t afraid of Lord Axe. "Dao Friend Lang Hao, go back and tell Sect Head Feng that I need his help with something. I will find time to visit Sect Head Feng." Mo Wuji did not mind that he was under the scrutiny of many cultivators, as he clasped his fists and spoke to Lang Hao who was in the crowd. He needed too many spirit stone slags. Not only would he visit Sect Head Feng, he would also visit the heads of the other groups. Lang Hao shook his head speechlessly, and did not answer Mo Wuji¡¯s words. There was no need to talk about a Worldly Immortal like Mo Wuji, even Jia Qi, had been abandoned by the Longevity Sect because of Hong Fuji. "I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t have the chance. If I, Hong Fuji, let you go today, I don¡¯t deserve to stay in Half Immortal Domain." A cold voice could be heard. The vicious Lord Axe was currently walking out of Half Immortal Domain. Previously, he did not offer any rewards for catching Mo Wuji was because he knew that it would be difficult for these cultivators to catch Mo Wuji. He was afraid of acting rashly and alerting the energy. Behind him, were at least ten people. Besides Xi Sha who Mo Wuji had used his Tian Ji Pole against, Mo Wuji also recognised that middle-aged man with an abacus and that pretty and delicate woman. As for the others, Mo Wuji did not even recognise one of them. Hong Fuji could actually be considered a handsome man. Unfortunately, his triangle eyes spoiled his appearance. "Hong Fuji, big words would only choke you. Today, not only would Dao Friend Mo teach you a lesson, us Tong brothers would want to find you to collect some old debts." Tong Ye stepped forward and said with contempt. "Eh¡­" Hong Fuji¡¯s attention had always been on Mo Wuji. The humiliation that Mo Wuji left him, had never been forgotten. So, he couldn¡¯t even be bothered to care about the people by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Now that Tong Ye had spoken, he finally got Hong Fuji¡¯s attention. Instants later, he finally recognised Tong Ye. He chortled, "So it¡¯s my lucky day. Ku Ya, go and tell Alliance Head Meng that the two fellas that saved Bo Qin from his hands hadn¡¯t died in the Mining Area of Death, but have returned." "Yes." The pretty girl beside Hong Fuji responded and left swiftly. "Friends, make way. Today, I, Hong Fuji, will collect this blood debt." As Lord Axe spoke, he took a step forward and landed in front of Mo Wuji. At the same time, the ten over Earthly Immortals behind him had surrounded Mo Wuji and co. Chapter 425: The Strong Newbie Chapter 425: The Strong Newbie Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Lord Axe swung out the giant axe from his back and stared coldly at Mo Wuji; he was waiting for Mo Wuji to beg for his life. When Mo Wuji was begging or finding an excuse, he would attack. This would send pleasure throughout his body; a glee that seemed to expel all the unhappiness inside him. Of course, no matter what flowery words Mo Wuji would say, he would treat it as dogs farts. What was out of Lord Axe''s expectation was, Mo Wuji did not even utter half a word of nonsense. His Tian Ji Pole formed boundless pole shadows, and he even formed dense numbers of lightning swords. The moment Mo Wuji acted, the Tong brothers and Lou Chuanhe immediately attacked. The Tong brothers each raised a dark red fire dragon, sending the two dragons towards two of the experts surrounding them. Lou Chuanhe''s sword qi swept towards that middle-aged man holding the abacus. Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi did not move, but each took one of Mo Wuji''s side, staring at Lord Axe. Before the six came here, they had already decided on this battle formation. Mo Wuji did not hide anything as he told everyone that he had a boundless lightning sword skill. The Tong brothers¡¯ heart fire was very strong, so they could each engage in battle, while Lou Chuanhe only needed to hold back that middle-aged man with the abacus. From Mo Wuji''s perspective, this middle-aged man was following closely behind Lord Axe, he would definitely have some hidden methods. Thus, Mo Wuji needed Lou Chuanhe to tie him down. As for Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi, except for helping Mo Wuji block off some attacks, they had to pay attention for any sneak attacks from Lord Axe. The two of them didn''t need to attack. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The boundless lightning rain, no, it should be the boundless lightning swords descended. Mo Wuji managed to merge the Boundless Lightning Rain skill with his Lightning Sword skill. The lightning descending downwards, was no longer lightning bolts, but lightning swords. The damage of his lightning bolts were already as powerful as heavenly tribulation. It could be said that except for cultivators with lightning-type spiritual roots, most cultivators were the most afraid of lightning attacks. To cultivate was indeed to seek the heavenly daos. However, to cultivate the dao was diametrically opposing the heavenly daos; to violate the heavenly daos would naturally incur the wrath of lightning from the Heavens. It was also because of this, that many cultivators would get turned to ash during their tribulations. The damage of his lightning bolts were already very huge. But now that he changed it to lightning swords, the damage had increased by multiple folds. Mo Wuji did not merely create his own unique cultivation technique, he also opened up other paths to cultivation. Right from the start, his opening of meridians was inseparable from lightning. Even before he properly started to cultivate, he had already suffered from countless lightning attacks. Following his growth in cultivation, his lightning attacks also got stronger. At this moment, with his boundless lightning rain changed to boundless lightning swords, he was actually able to trap 10 people by himself. The lightning continued to roar. The cultivators surrounding Mo Wuji continuously whipped out their magic treasures to defend against these treacherous lightning. Except for the extreme few that still had the ability to occasionally attack Mo Wuji, most of the cultivators surrounding Mo Wuji could only preserve themselves. "Boom! Ka!" The sounds of explosions of during the clash of various elemental energy and magic treasures reverberated outside Half Immortal Domain. The cultivators that were spectating the battle hurriedly made their retreat. In this sort of battle, if they were careless, they might be swept in. Seeing that Mo Wuji was too lazy to even utter a single word as he attacked immediately, Lord Axe was angered to the point where smoke seemed to be billowing out his nostrils. His giant axe formed a huge 30 meter long axe light, which he swung towards Mo Wuji. "Pui! Pui!" Most of the lightning swords had been blocked, but there were still ten of them which pierced through the bodies of the cultivators. A few cultivators that were not experienced with battles had directly been pinned to the ground by the lightning sword. At the same time, the Tong brothers¡¯ huge fire dragons had enveloped and dragged the two nearest cultivators into their spatial domain. The thin Xi Sha had been waiting for Lord Axe to give the orders. He also never expected that Mo Wuji would be the first to attack. Immediately, he discovered that Mo Wuji''s boundless pole shadows were not targeted at other people, but him alone. Towards the other people, Mo Wuji had merely used his lightning sword skill. "Boom bam boom boom!" The thin knife in Xi Sha¡¯s hand suddenly expanded, directly forming countless knife shadows. These knife shadows were indeed able to block Mo Wuji''s boundless pole shadows, but those pole shadows were fake. Just like the previous time, the Tian Ji Pole pierced through his back, pinning him to the ground. At this instant, he felt like his heart had turned to dust. Previously, he thought that Mo Wuji had ambushed him. If it was in a straight up battle, even if he couldn''t compare to Mo Wuji, he wouldn''t be much worse off. Now, he finally understood. When compared to Mo Wuji, he wasn''t even worth a single fingernail. Moreover, this person had even overestimated him, specially using the Tian Ji Pole to deal with him alone. In actuality, Xi Sha was right; Mo Wuji had indeed overestimated Xi Sha. He thought that a fella that stayed beside Lord Axe must have his own special skills. For example, that middle-aged man with the abacus, Xi Sha with his thin knife, as well as that pretty woman that did not talk much. According to his original plan, Mo Wuji wanted to use his Tian Ji Pole to deal with both Xi Sha and that woman. But now that the woman had left, his Tian Ji Pole attacked Xi Sha alone; Xi Sha was defeated in seconds. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother about the huge axe light booming towards him; he believed that Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi would help him resolve it. Indeed, it was just as Mo Wuji expected; Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi had helped Mo Wuji block Lord Axe¡¯s attack. Mo Wuji continuously formed complex hand signs; the boundless lightning sword rain continued to descend, taking the lives of cultivators. Just as Mo Wuji intended to pull that Abacus into his lightning sword domain, he saw Lou Chuanhe¡¯s figure flash. His body which was originally standing in mid-air suddenly plummeted down. Mo Wuji received a huge shock; multiple abacus beads formed a grey bead sword in mid-air, whizzing towards Lou Chuanhe¡¯s forehead. Mo Wuji no longer cared about raining down his lightning swords, he did not even use his Tian Ji Pole, as he waved his hand and performed his spatial imprisonment. The spatial imprisonment was only able to slow the bead sword by a bit, but this bit was enough for Mo Wuji. He lifted his hand and pulled Lou Chuanhe to the side, then he took one step into mid air and punched downwards. He knew this fella called Abacus was very impressive, which was why he had Lou Chuanhe deal with him. However, Mo Wuji never expected this fella to be strong to such a degree. Lou Chuanhe had merely engaged in a short exchange with him, but with already almost heavily injured. Abacus saw that his bead sword had turned slightly sluggish and he immediately knew that something wasn¡¯t good. At this time, his skill had already taken effect, he would not be able to change anything in that instant. When he saw Mo Wuji take a step forward, he was even more sure that things would not go well. He was not extremely clear about Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities, but he understood one thing, Mo Wuji could teleport space. Now that Mo Wuji had taken a step forward, what did it mean? Abacus was experienced with battles; he did not think any further as he frantically retreated. "Boom!" Mo Wuji landed at Abacus¡¯s former location; with his one punch, he destroyed Abacus¡¯s silhouette. As he observed this scene from afar, Abacus still had lingering fears. If he was just a bit later, this punch of Mo Wuji would have crushed his body into meat juice. He sighed in his heart, even though Lord Axe had several people by his side, the number of experts were truly too little. "Boom boom boom!" Mo Wuji did not even chase after him, but continued to form his lightning sword rain. "Stop!" A voice resounded. Thereafter, a sharp light shot towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji twisted his hand, and that sharp light simply vanished into mid air. Mo Wuji knew that an expert had arrived, but he had yet to achieve his goals. His figure flashed as he prepared to continue attacking Lord Axe. Even though Lord Axe was dealing with Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi by himself, he still had the upper hand. However, he was only able to oppress Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi. If he wanted to kill them, it would be impossible in a short period of time. When Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed over, he did not even think as he urgently retreated. Just now, he had been blocked by Master Pu Zi and Jia Qi, which caused his attack to be blocked. However, his eyes were not blind; he had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s prowess clearly, and Mo Wuji was not even afraid of fighting with groups. The short battle had stopped and there were also more cultivators spectating. However, at this instant, the whole area was in silence. Mo Wuji¡¯s ferociously combat abilities had left shock in all of their hearts. Including himself, Lord Axe had brought a total of 17 people, just to surround six people on Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Now, the short battle had ended. Excluding Lord Axe and Abacus, 10 of the other 15 people had died, and an extremely notorious figure had been pinned to the ground by Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole. The other four people all carried heavy injuries, and even though the battle had ended, these four people still had fear lingering in their eyes. Everyone had seen the battle clearly, Mo Wuji, alone, had killed eight people, and all these eight people were killed by lightning swords without exception. The heavily injured people were also in their states because of Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword. That Xi Sha that was pinned on the ground, was also because of Mo Wuji¡¯s actions. Lord Axe had been blocked by two people on Mo Wuji¡¯s side, and was of no threat to Mo Wuji. Those two cultivators that used their flames had killed a cultivator each. On Mo Wuji¡¯s side, except for one person who got injured, the others were fine. It could be said that if not for the Dao Lord¡¯s sudden appearance, Lord Axe¡¯s entire force might have been routed. None of them could not be shocked; Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword was a simply a nemesis for cultivators. The moment they were struck heavily, even their primordial spirits would find it hard to escape. Everyone guessed that Mo Wuji should be a lightning-type cultivator, and an extremely strong one at that. Lord Axe looked at the survivors on his side, as well as the pinned Xi Sha; his lips started quivering. He knew that Mo Wuji was not bad, but he never thought that Mo Wuji would be this strong. After all, this fella was a newbie that had just come to Half Immortal Domain for a few years. At this moment, he was feeling regret. He should have listened to Ku Ya¡¯s words, but he couldn¡¯t take any pills for regret. It wasn¡¯t just Lord Axe and the cultivators of Half Immortal Domain that were shocked; even Master Pu Zi and the Tong brothers were stunned. They knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s combat powers were strong, but they never thought that Mo Wuji could deal with an advanced Earthly Immortal in seconds. The Tong brothers glanced at each other and felt some lingering fears. Previously, the two of them had dared to camp outside of Mo Wuji¡¯s array because they believed that even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to befriend them, they still wouldn¡¯t have a need to worry. But now, they know that it would not have been very difficult if Mo Wuji wanted to kill them. "May I ask if this friend is Dao Friend Mo Wuji?" A cultivator dressed as a monk clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji guessed that this fella should be the Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Dao Lord Guang Quan. Just now, it was this fella that saved these fish that escaped from the net. If not for him, the only people that would have survived would probably just be Lord Axe and Abacus. Chapter 426: I Don’t Even Know How To Read Books Chapter 426: I Don¡¯t Even Know How To Read Books Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Who are you?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was icy cold. Even though he knew that the other party was the Dao Lord of Half Immortal Domain, he still remained dauntless. This fella¡¯s cultivation was higher than his, but even if it was higher, they were both in the same stage - Earthly Immortal Stage. As the founder of the of meridian cultivation without spiritual roots, if he were to fear a cultivator at the same stage, then wouldn¡¯t he be disgracing himself as a founder? If he had to fear a cultivator at the same stage, then he should not bother passing on his meridian cultivation. "I am Guang Quan, the Dao Lord of Half Immortal Domain. These two are the Immortal Seeking Union Head Meng Tianyu and the Vast Desert Alliance Head Qian Yue¡­" Guang Quan¡¯s voice was calm and cordial; he did not immediately question Mo Wuji for killing people, but introduced Mo Wuji to the two people beside him. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on Meng Tianyu. The reason why the Tong brothers did not dare come to Half Immortal Domain, wasn¡¯t only because of Lord Axe, but also because they had offended this fella. Moreover, Senior Lou Chuanhe¡¯s spiritual roots had been woodified by this fella. If not for him, Senior Lou Chuanhe would have perished in Half Immortal Domain. This fella could make use of acute wood energy, and even made it one of his sacred arts; he¡¯s an impressive person. Meng Tianyu¡¯s face was blank, but his eyes were flashing with light, occasionally sweeping across Lou Chuanhe and the Tong brothers. "So it¡¯s Dao Lord Guang. That¡¯s right, I am Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji also clasped his fists and said. Even though he was merely in Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 and could kill others in the same stage in seconds, he was still a bit lacking if he wanted to oppress this Dao Lord. Of course, Mo Wuji also dared to believe that the Dao Lord wouldn¡¯t be able to oppress him. "Dao Friend Mo¡¯s abilities are startling. I have also investigated on this matter before; Dao Friend Hong had been cornering Dao Friend Mo, this is indeed improper. My Half Immortal Domain treats everyone equally, and it¡¯s not without cause that Dao Friend Hong¡¯s actions had incited Dao Friend Mo to take action. On my account, and also for the fairness of Half Immortal Domain, could Dao Friend Mo forsake this issue?" Guang Quan¡¯s voice was very genial. Mo Wuji had a new impression of Guang Quan. He thought that when Guang Quan had come together with Meng Tianyu, they would force him to apologize to Lord Axe, then find an excuse to get rid of him. Actually, he had already planned for that to happen. The moment Guang Quan and Meng Tianyu attacked, he would unleash his boundless lightning swords in full force, killing an entire river full of blood, before finding a chance to eliminate Meng Tianyu. He never expected that Guang Quan would come with a compromising attitude, preventing his plan from happening. He really didn¡¯t know what this fella was thinking; if they said that Guang Quan was afraid of him, Mo Wuji would never believe it. As the Dao Lord of Half Immortal Domain, even if Lord Axe had been killed, Guang Quan still wouldn¡¯t need to fear him. One must know that this fella had previously battled Dao Lord Wu You, and even defeated Wu You. The only possibility was, Guang Quan wanted to make use of him to get rid of Lord Axe, demonstrating his existence as a Dao Lord in front of all the cultivators here. Lord Axe¡¯s heart sunk, he knew that he had been casted away by Guang Quan. He no longer had any value; he, Hong Fuji, was now useless. Guang Quan was asking for Mo Wuji to forsake the matter, naturally wasn¡¯t because Guang Quan wanted to save his life, but because Guang Quan wanted to establish his might within Half Immortal Domain. Anyway, even his side had suffered a lot of casualties, it didn¡¯t even matter to Guang Quan. "Since Dao Lord Guang Quan has asked me to forsake the matter, then I naturally have no other opinion," Mo Wuji did not hesitate to asay. With such words by Guang Quan, Mo Wuji knew that if he were to persist on this issue, he would face the combined attack of multiple experts. He still wanted to kill Lord Axe, but now was not the right time. In this battle, Lord Axe would definitely have suffered damages to his elemental energy, to the point where he probably couldn¡¯t even dig up blackstones from the soil. He could kill Lord Axe at any time, and by then, Guang Quan definitely wouldn¡¯t say anything. As for Meng Tianyu, Mo Wuji was still thinking if he should attack. If he attacked, what would Guang Quan¡¯s reaction be? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care about the members of the Immortal Seeking Union. These members in the union were merely trying to survive, they wouldn¡¯t have much loyalty to the union. If even one out of ten union members were willing to help Meng Tianyu, it would already be pretty impressive. Of course, there was one more important thing, Mo Wuji still wanted to exchange spirit stone slags with Guang Quan and the other alliance heads. If he went on a rampage here, it would be hard for him to exchange for spirit stone slags, and he might even offend an expert from across the Immortal Chasm. "Pick Xi Sha up, we¡¯re leaving," Lord Axe swallowed down his anger and said. Mo Wuji sneered, you still want to bring Xi Sha away? He extended his hand and Tian Ji Pole flew out from Xi Sha, landing into his palms. The moment Tian Ji Pole flew out, Xi Sha had lost his final breath. Looking at the dead Xi Sha, Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Last time when I let you go, I told you that there won¡¯t be a second time." Lord Axe clenched both his fist, a crazed fire was burning in his heart. Unfortunately, he did not dare attack, he knew that Mo Wuji was inciting him to attack. No one else spoke as they all stared at Lord Axe, waiting to see what Lord Axe would do. "Lord Axe, let¡¯s go." Ku Ya, who had just arrived, also knew that she had underestimated Mo Wuji. Inhaling deeply, Lord Axe turned and left. He suppressed the flames of anger in his heart. "Hong Fuji, you¡¯re going to leave like that?" Mo Wuji¡¯s faint voice resounded. Lord Axe suddenly turned and shouted, "Mo Wuji, you killed 11 of my men. What else do you want?" Mo Wuji grabbed a jade letter and said calmly, "Nothing much. Just that you owe me spirit stone slags, are you going to pay now? You know, last time I passed you the blackstone but I haven¡¯t received your spirit stone slags." Lord Axe startled; he suddenly recalled that he still owed Mo Wuji 5,000 spirit stone slags. No, there¡¯s still interest¡­ Lord Axe, who was forcefully suppressing his anger, could do that no further; he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. Previously, he only came up with that IOU to save Xi Sha. From the start to the end, he, Hong Fuji, had never intended to return those spirit stone slags. He never expected that Mo Wuji would really take out the IOU and come asking for spirit stone slags. The surrounding spectators finally came to an understanding; no wonder why Lord Axe had an enmity with Mo Wuji. They dared to bet that Lord Axe wanted Mo Wuji¡¯s blackstones, but didn¡¯t want to pay for it. This was not right ah, for a despicable person like Lord Axe, he would write down an IOU? Eh, as they thought about it, it wasn¡¯t impossible. However, even if Lord Axe wrote an IOU for a billion spirit stone slags, who would dare to claim it from him? Now, such a person had actually arrived. Moreover, he was claiming for it in the eyes of many people. "How much do I owe you?" Lord Axe knew that he could no longer avoid this; Mo Wuji had even taken out the IOU jade letter in front of the crowd. If he dared to renege on this debt, even if Mo Wuji attacked him, Guang Quan wouldn¡¯t have an excuse to protect him. Moreover, now that Guang Quan had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s prowess, Guang Quan would be less inclined to protect him. The reason why Guang Quan had protected him previously was merely because he wanted to maintain his might. "Previously, you owed me 5,000 spirit stone slags. Those compound interest nonsense things are too complex, I don¡¯t even know how to read books. No one¡¯s to blame for my own stupidity but myself, so I will suffer the loss. I will just just come up with another number. Let¡¯s just say you owed me 10,000 spirit stone slags, and after interest, you owe me 22,000 spirit stone slags then," Mo Wuji sighed and said, seeming as though he had suffered a great loss. Lord Axe felt a sweetness in his throat as he almost coughed out another mouthful of blood. He had never seen such a shameless person before. Even if there was compound interest, it would still be far from 20,000 spirit stone slags ah. "Dao Friend Mo, let¡¯s just follow compound interest. I will calculate it for you," Abacus said as he fiddled with his abacus beads. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said coldly, "Are you bullying me because I¡¯ve never studied? Who knows if your calculations are right? Could it be that you¡¯re not willing to pay me? Very good." If Abacus knew that Mo Wuji was an expert biologist and pharmacist back on Earth, he would probably be like Lord Axe and coughed out blood. Lord Axe waved his hand towards Abacus. He threw a storage ring towards Mo Wuji, there¡¯s 22,000 spirit stone slags here. Return the jade letter to me, we don¡¯t owe each other anything." Previously, even if there were 10,000 of such jade letters in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, he, Hong Fuji, wouldn¡¯t have cared about it. But now that he had witnessed Mo Wuji¡¯s might, he did not dare leave another IOU jade letter in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. If he didn¡¯t take it back, he was sure that Mo Wuji would continue to use this jade letter to get spirit stone slags out of him. Mo Wuji grabbed the ring and scanned it quickly with his spiritual will. Thereafter, he threw the jade letter to Lord Axe and said indifferently, "Hong Fuji, if I have business in the future, I will continue to find you." Lord Axe¡¯s face turned livid with rage. After he received the jade letter, he did not eve look at it as he turned and left. "I wonder if Dao Friend Mo is free to pay a visit to my Dao Lord Mansion?" After Lord Axe left, Guang Quan said smilingly towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had already intended to make trades with Guang Quan. Now that Guang Quan took the initiative to invite him, he naturally wouldn¡¯t reject it as he smiled and said, "Many thanks Dao Lord Guang for your invitation. I was also thinking of visiting the Dao Lord." "Dao Friend Mo sure is amazing. Not only is your lightning skill superior, your ability to resolve acute wood energy is something I could only hope to achieve¡­" Meng Tianyu said suddenly by the side. Meng Tianyu was naturally implying that Guang Quan should be more alert to Mo Wuji. However, he had forgotten what kind of person Mo Wuji was, and the things that Mo Wuji did. Before Meng Tianyu could finish, Mo Wuji interrupted his words, "Union Head Meng, I still have some debts which I have yet to settle with you." If Meng Tianyu had not spoken, Mo Wuji would still be considering if he should find an excuse to deal with Meng Tianyu. Now that Meng Tianyu was asking for it, he should not blame Mo Wuji for acting. After finishing that sentence, Mo Wuji turned and clasped his fist towards the crowd, "Various dao friends, when my senior Lou Chuanhe just entered Half Immortal Domain, he was woodified by this Meng Tianyu for some unknown reason. I believe that all of us are clear what that laughable reason is. Now, I hope that Union Head Meng can explain thing properly to me, and not use a laughable excuse to tarnish the fairness of Half Immortal Domain." The people who know of Lou Chuanhe¡¯s matter was not a lot. After all, Lou Chuanhe was a newbie, and he wasn¡¯t like Mo Wuji, to be listed on wanted posters. Now that Mo Wuji had mentioned it, the surrounding people started asking around, and the reason was quickly spread. Meng Tianyu¡¯s face sunk; he never expected that Mo Wuji would dare challenge him like this. Hong Fuji might be scared of Mo Wuji, but he, Meng Tianyu, wasn¡¯t. Chapter 427: Battling Meng Tianyu Chapter 427: Battling Meng Tianyu Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I did harm him, but you''re not bad too, to actually be able to completely resolve my woodification attack," Meng Tianyu''s tone was sinister, he did not abandon his idea of telling Guang Quan and co. that Mo Wuji was even capable of restoring woodified spirit channels. Indeed, after hearing that Mo Wuji was even capable of restoring woodified spirit channels, the look in Guang Quan''s eyes slightly retracted. He gradually started to feel that Mo Wuji was rather terrifying; even the Wu You of yesteryears was only strong in combat, if his spirit channels got woodified, he would still be rendered useless. This Mo Wuji was more terrifying than Wu You. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Union Head Meng, you''re right." With that, Mo Wuji clasped his fists to the surroundings and said, "Various dao friends, if any of you get your spirit channels accidentally woodified by Union Head Meng in the future, feel free to find me - Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji''s words incited noise and applause from the crowd. Ostensibly, Mo Wuji''s gesture had earned the favour of a majority of these cultivators. What was the greatest fear in the Half Immortal Domain? Naturally, it was the woodification of spirit channels. Even though there was the Wood Dissolving Pill, the seasoned ones in Half Immortal Domain know that the Wood Dissolving Pill was not able to completely treat the woodification phenomena. Now, Mo Wuji had publicly promised to help anyone treat their woodified spirit channels. Just this sentence alone, had won Mo Wuji the support from most of the crowd. Don''t see Meng Tianyu''s position as the union head of the Immortal Seeking Union; he was not actually able to get his union members to sell their lives for him. They were merely working in the union based on mutual benefits; he had established the Immortal Seeking Union merely to gather blackstones from the union members. Meng Tianyu''s face turned black; he did not expect that revealing Mo Wuji''s capabilities would actually help Mo Wuji gain a chance to counter attack and send him into a ditch. Guang Quan also sighed; this error could only be attributed to the fact that Meng Tianyu had seen himself differently from the other cultivators. He could borrow the acute wood energy to cultivate, and he was even able to create a skill out of the acute wood energy. However, everyone else here was worried about the acute wood energy. Meng Tianyu was used to being in a high and lofty position, he had completely disregarded the life of other cultivators. Thus, he would make such a mistake. "Dao Friend Mo, perhaps this matter might have been a misunderstanding. Luckily, Dao Friend Lou is fine now, and could even be said to have found fortune while in misfortune. If everyone doesn''t mind, we can all visit my Dao Lord Mansion and bury the hatchet," Guang Quan smiled and interrupted. Meng Tianyu naturally didn''t say anything. Even though he didn''t fear Mo Wuji, he knew that Mo Wuji was not someone he could easily offend. If he could be easily offended, would be have been able to send Hong Fuji scurrying away? Hong Fuji had been able to set up an underground blackstone business here, not just anyone could deal with him. Moreover, he was also a little apprehensive that Mo Wuji didn''t fear his acute wood energy. Of course, this was just minor apprehension. He believed that even if Mo Wuji was able to resolve the acute wood energy in Lou Chuanhe, Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to deal with his acute wood energy skill while in actual battle. Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Guang Quan, "Since Dao Lord Guang has said the words, I naturally wouldn''t not show the Dao Lord face. The matter of my Senior Lou Chuanhe being heavily injured by Union Head Meng can be forgotten." When Guang Quan heard these words, he immediately celebrated; anything was fine as long as they didn''t fight here. First he would have to grab hold of Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji''s abilities were heaven defying, he would have methods of dealing with Mo Wuji. Wu You was a good example. "Even though the matters have been forgotten, I had to spend a lot of spiritual herbs and pills to heal my senior. I still require Union Head Meng to give me some compensation," These words of Mo Wuji left an uncomfortable feeling in Meng Tianyu''s heart. If Mo Wuji was was an easygoing person, Hong Fuji wouldn''t have met such a pitiable outcome. Hong Fuji was a good example. He merely owed Mo Wuji 5,000 spirit stone slags, but after one year, Mo Wuji had suddenly turned it to 22,000 spirit stone slags. Guang Quan knew that Mo Wuji wanted to extort a sum from Meng Tianyu. However, he did not say anything; he had already helped wherever he could. Moreover, Meng Tianyu was not someone that could be easily dealt with. "How much do you want?" Meng Tianyu saw that there were many members of his Immortal Seeking Union, but none of them had helped to speak up for him. He knew that if a battle really took place, he would be fighting alone. "I used two strains of immortal grass, one extremely high-grade spiritual fruit and seven Tier 9 spiritual pills. Altogether¡­" Mo Wuji did not even finish his words before Meng Tianyu began to surge with an ominous aura. The terrifying killing intent had caused the surrounding cultivators to disperse, "Mo Wuji, you can extort money from Hong Fuji, but if you think that you can do that to me, Meng Tianyu, then you¡¯re far mistaken. Come on, let me see how much you¡¯re worth." The things that Mo Wuji said clearly couldn''t be resolved using spirit stone slags. What immortal grass? Mo Wuji himself probably hadn''t seen such a thing before but he still dared to mention it. Guang Quan did not say anything, he knew that this battle could no longer be prevented. If he still dared to help Meng Tianyu, then his bias would be too obvious, and his position as the Dao Lord would become precarious. "Phoom!" A black shadow swept towards Mo Wuji; thereafter, the area within thousands of meters became filled with concentrated acute wood energy. At this moment, everyone started to retreat backwards, albeit Mo Wuji''s comrades, or Dao Lord Guang Quan, or the surrounding cultivators. Under such terrifying acute wood energy, even the Wood Dissolving Pill wouldn''t work. Guang Quan originally wanted to exert some pressure on Mo Wuji; so he allowed Meng Tianyu to oppress Mo Wuji. However, after seeing Meng Tianyu''s attack, he immediately gave up on this idea. Even he had to take this sort of terrifying acute wood energy seriously; if he wasn''t careful, he might even fall into it. Moreover, this was not the end; the surrounding acute wood energy was still constantly growing more powerful, to the extent where it seemed to almost woodify space. Lou Chuanhe, who had already retreated to a great distance, could not help but exhale a breath of cold air. Now, he knew that Meng Tianyu didn''t even need to put in much effort to deal with him. "This guy seems much stronger than those years ago." The Tong brothers glanced at one another, both seeing the deep fear in the other''s eyes. The surrounding cultivators were even in their own private discussions. It was publicly recognised that Meng Tianyu was very strong. Even so, everyone still believed that Meng Tianyu was the number two expert in Half Immortal Domain, while the number one place was naturally occupied by Guang Quan. Now, with Meng Tianyu''s acute wood energy being strong enough to come close to woodifying space, this had cast some doubts in the crowd''s minds. Perhaps, the strongest person in Half Immortal Domain wasn''t Guang Quan, but the union head of Immortal Seeking Union, Meng Tianyu. If it was them being attacked by Meng Tianyu''s acute wood energy, there was nothing else they could do other than to flee. Everyone wanted to know how Mo Wuji was going to deal with this terrifying attack. Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole had long landed in his palms. He was staring at Meng Tianyu''s magic treasure, and had completely ignored the surrounding acute wood energy. No matter how dense the acute wood energy was, it would only be spiritual energy for him. Mo Wuji was shocked by Meng Tianyu''s magic treasure. It wasn''t a spiritual equipment forged by a smith, but a wooden cane; a natural wooden cane. Mo Wuji could even feel the spirituality within the wooden cane. He suspected that even without Meng Tianyu''s control, it would still be able to attack him. This was an incredibly impressive treasure. This was Mo Wuji''s first time coveting his opponent¡¯s magic treasure. "Boom!" The Tian Ji Pole clashed against the wooden cane. the power behind Mo Wuji''s attack seemed to vanish. Meng Tianyu''s fierce elemental energy came surging over; Mo Wuji''s chest seized as he was sent flying backwards. Meng Tianyu''s lips curved into a derisive smile. When facing his Heavenly Wood Cane, this Mo Wuji didn''t run, but faced his Heavenly Wood Cane head on. Wasn''t that simply courting death? "Not good." Tong Cheng cried out from afar. "What''s the matter?" Lou Chuanhe said urgently. Tong Cheng''s face turned serious as he said, "I forgot to tell Dao Friend Mo, that wooden cane of Meng Tianyu is able to woodify space. Under that woodified space, Mo Wuji wouldn''t even be able to release his spiritual will, and his elemental energy would also be adversely affected. Hearing Tong Cheng''s words, not just Lou Chuanhe, but even Master Pu Zi had a drastic change in expression. Mo Wuji was directly linked to their future. If anything went wrong with Mo Wuji, then not only might they be forced out of Half Immortal Domain, they would also lose the chance of ever crossing the Immortal Chasm. As he was sent flying, Mo Wuji understood what had happened. His elemental energy had been nullified by half in that woodified space, and his spiritual will had been completely suppressed. This woodified space was impressive. However, against expectations, Mo Wuji calmed down. Others might be afraid of Meng Tianyu''s woodified space, but he wouldn''t. He completely didn''t need to forcefully use his elemental energy or spiritual will; he had his elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel. If Meng Tianyu was bent on eliminating him, then he could also speed up the battle. At this instant, he was more afraid that Meng Tianyu wouldn''t chase after him. Meng Tianyu naturally wouldn''t give up on this opportunity. With a single step, he crossed a distance of tens of meters. The wooden cane in his hand transformed into a huge whirlpool, drawing Mo Wuji in. At this instant, the surrounding cultivators could only see the black whirlpool. Even if they extended their spiritual will, they would still be unable to see the battling Meng Tianyu and Mo Wuji. "I won''t let you die so easily¡­" Within the black wooden cane whirlpool, Meng Tianyu stared at Mo Wuji and said sinisterly. "Is that so? I was just thinking about sending you back into reincarnation¡­" Just as Meng Tianyu finished his words, he suddenly saw Mo Wuji, who was just tens of meters away, appear in front of him. Astonishment appeared in his eyes. He was not sure why Mo Wuji did not fear his woodified space, and why Mo Wuji was able to escape from his Heavenly Wood Cane Whirlpool. He only felt a sense of impending doom. "Bang!" Out of nowhere, Tian Ji Pole appeared behind his neck and had soundlessly come crashing down. Meng Tianyu forcefully twisted his neck, jerking his body to the side. "Kacha!" The sound of bone fracturing could be heard. Meng Tianyu could not hold back his aggrieved cry. In an instant, Mo Wuji''s violent spiritual energy had shattered his elemental energy defenses. Before anyone could even react, the pace of the battle had turned. Mo Wuji, who was originally in a position of weakness, had suddenly escaped from Meng Tianyu''s woodified space, and even traversed across space suddenly to land a blow on Meng Tianyu. With this heavy strike, Meng Tianyu''s soul dispersed. It seemed to be pushing itself to escape from Mo Wuji. As for his precious Heavenly Wood Cane, he couldn''t even care about it at this instant. Chapter 428: Collecting Another IOU Chapter 428: Collecting Another IOU Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Boom!" A blinding white light exploded in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯a action faltered slightly. In that momentary pause, Meng Tianyu had already escaped from the frontlines of death and had landed tens of meters away. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart. All these fellas had their own hidden cards; this guy actually managed to escape under those circumstances. Now that Meng Tianyu had escaped from his palms, it would be difficult for him to kill this b*stard. Mo Wuji was bent on eliminating Meng Tianyu, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t give up. At almost the same instant that he moved, Guang Quan stood in front of Meng Tianyu, clasped his fists to Mo Wuji as he said, "We have much to learn from Dao Friend Mo." "Dao Lord Guang, could it be that you¡¯re taking sides?" The killing intent around Mo Wuji had started to take shape; his tone had also gotten hostile. If not for his plans, he would have already thrown a lightning sword towards Guang Quan. Even though his mouth was talking to Guang Quan, Mo Wuji¡¯s hands did not stop. He opened his hand, sweeping up Meng Tianyu¡¯s discarded Heavenly Wood Cane. At the same time, he sealed the Heavenly Wood Cane with his spiritual will, throwing it into his ring. Guang Quan acted as though he did not see Mo Wuji keep Meng Tianyu¡¯s Heavenly Wood Cane. He continued smiling as he said, "My Half Immortal Domain has always been fair. Naturally, I wouldn¡¯t take sides. Because Union Head Meng had injured Dao Friend Lou, Dao Friend Mo had to spend several herbs and pills. Let me be the mediator for this issue. How about Union Head Meng take out some suitable items as compensation in order to earn Dao Friend Mo¡¯s forgiveness. Union Head Meng, Dao Friend Mo, what do you think? Of course, if the two of you disagree, then take it that I have been too nosy." When Meng Tianyu saw Mo Wuji keep his supreme treasure, the Heavenly Wood Cane, his heart started bleeding. He grabbed a few pills and placed it in his mouth, rapidly recovering from the damage Mo Wuji did to his neck. To an expert like him, even if his internal organs were spewed and his limbs fractured, it did not mean much. What more these neck bones shattered by Mo Wuji? He knew that the reason why he lost so quickly, wasn¡¯t because he was much weaker than Mo Wuji, but because he had overestimated the effects of his woodified space on Mo Wuji. He never expected that within his woodified space, Mo Wuji would still be able to teleport to his side. That was simply terrifying. The reason why Guang Quan had helped him, was also because Guang Quan had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s power, and Guang Quan didn¡¯t want to see Mo Wuji destroy his allies one after another. "Dao Friend Mo, just now, I was itching to test my skills. If you felt that it was improper, then I would have to seek Dao Friend Mo¡¯s forgiveness. As for the expenses for Dao Friend Lou¡¯s treatment, I naturally wouldn¡¯t renege on it. I still have to invite Dao Friend Mo to calculate it," Meng Tianyu clasped his fists, immediately taking the appearance as a scholar. Mo Wuji¡¯s power was more than he imagined. If he were to continue to fight against Mo Wuji, Guang Quan definitely wouldn¡¯t intervene. Even though he know that Mo Wuji would demand an exorbitant price, he still had to grit his teeth and accept it. Mo Wuji was speechless. Some people really had really thick skin. Perhaps he should learn from them; it was not a bad thing to have thick skin sometimes. However, he still did not want to act against Guang Quan now. It was not the right time as he still wanted to trade blackstones with Guang Quan. Moreover, if he defeated Guang Quan, he might possibly alert the experts from the Immortal Domain. "A total of 6,378,000 spirit stone slags. But on the account of Dao Lord Guang, I will forget the small change. Just 6,000,000 spirit stone slags is enough." Mo Wuji¡¯s words instantly dumbfounded everyone there; this was too brutal, right? Even Meng Tianyu wouldn¡¯t be able to take out so many spirit stone slags. There¡¯s no need to talk about 6,000,000 spirit stone slags; Meng Tianyu might not even be able to take out a tenth, no a hundredth of that amount. Guang Quan frowned; he never expected Mo Wuji to demand such a high price. Probably no one in the entire Half Immortal Domain would be able to take out such a large number of spirit stone slags. As expected, the colour on Meng Tianyu¡¯s face changed. He never expected that Mo Wuji would be so crazy, to ask for 6,000,000 spirit stone slags from the onstart." "Dao Friend Mo, you should know that I¡¯m not able to take out so many spirit stone slags," Meng Tianyu¡¯s face was incomparably cold. Mo Wuji raged instantly, "Without spirit stone slags, you still dare to hurt others? Is that not bullying?" Meng Tianyu really wanted to say: Even this old man here had been beaten by you, but I didn¡¯t say that you were bullying me? Unfortunately, he really didn¡¯t dare to say that. "I only have 310,000 spirit stone slags on me. If Dao Friend Mo is willing, I can hand all of these spirit stone slags over." As Meng Tianyu spoke, he sent out several lights of messages. Soon, ten figures gathered by his side. From a distance, there were still over ten people approaching rapidly. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, there were already over 30 people gathered by Meng Tianyu¡¯s side. At the same time, there were even more cultivators gathering by Guang Quan¡¯s side. Clearly, Guang Quan¡¯s control over Half Immortal Domain was not for nothing. Guang Quan¡¯s current actions were clearly trying to pressure Mo Wuji; he did not want Mo Wuji to kill Meng Tianyu. "Meng Tianyu, you want to be like Hong Fuji, to surround and attack me? Today, I will let it be as you wish. I accept your challenge." Mo Wuji took a few steps forward, approaching Meng Tianyu. Meng Tianyu¡¯s face got increasingly ugly. He knew that Mo Wuji had that boundless lightning sword skill. In a joint attack, he might not necessarily gain the upper hand. Moreover, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t his only enemy in Half Immortal Domain. "Dao Friend Mo, if you want spirit stone slags, you can discuss with me." Guang Quan took a few steps forward, maintaining a face full of smiles. However, the cultivators around him had subtly dispersed, surrounding Mo Wuji and his comrades. Guang Quan could faintly guess that Mo Wuji needed a large amount of spirit stone slags. Even though he didn¡¯t know what Mo Wuji wanted to do, it was already manageable now that he knew Mo Wuji¡¯s goal. Mo Wuji roughly scanned around with his spiritual will. There were at least a hundred people, and there might even be more hiding in the shadows. Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fists. He really wanted to engage in an all out battle here, but he knew he had to endure it. Not only was his cultivation not enough, he still needed Guang Quan¡¯s help. Even though Guang Quan might not be able to come up with 10 million spirit stone slags, he had the means of trading with Immortal Domain. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed his impulse. He said calmly, "Since Dao Lord Guang has said this, then I naturally have to make considerations for Half Immortal Domain. Union Head Meng, pass the 310,000 spirit stone slags to me. Then write me an IOU jade letter for the remainder 5,700,000 spirit stone slags. There¡¯s an interest of 10,000 every month." As he spoke, Mo Wuji glanced towards Master Pu Zi and co. Meng Tianyu finally experienced Lord Axe¡¯s feelings; his face instantly turned green. However, he also knew that if he did not agree with Mo Wuji¡¯s words, then a huge battle will ensue. In this battle, it would be hard for Guang Quan to act. With the current situation, it would be inevitable for the other cultivators to not be angered. If Mo Wuji plays on this rancour to cause a rebellion in Half Immortal Domain, then things would be screwed. Guang Quan¡¯s transmitted voice sounded in Meng Tianyu¡¯s ear, "Brother Meng, accept it. He wouldn¡¯t be able to get those spirit stone slags. This guy is a mad man. Let¡¯s stabilise the situation first. Under this sort of circumstances, it is not suitable to attack him." "I accept." When Meng Tianyu heard these words, he did not hesitate to throw a storage ring to Mo Wuji. At the same time, he took out a jade letter and inscribed an IOU on it. After imprinting it, he threw it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji scanned the jade letter imprint and the storage ring with his spiritual will, then he kept them. Including the over 20 thousand spirit stone slags that he collected previously, he now had 332,000 spirit stone slags on him. This amount of spirit stone slags was enough for him to advance to the advanced Earthly Immortal Stage. By the time he reached the advanced Earthly Immortal Stage, even if he was encircled by even more people, he would still be able to kill them with his lightning sword. Thus, he was not in a hurry. Now, he only needed to work hard to improve his cultivation. "Dao Friend Mo, shouldn¡¯t you return me my magic treasure?"" Seeing Mo Wuji keep the spirit stone slags, Meng Tianyu calmed his tone and said. Mo Wuji asked quizzically, "Your magic treasure? What¡¯s that? Could it be that random wooden cane that I just picked up?" "That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the wooden cane that you just picked up." Meng Tianyu¡¯s heart rate seemed to rise like smoke in a chimney. Mo Wuji looked at Meng Tianyu in disdain, "Union Head Meng, is there something wrong with your head? Since you know that it¡¯s something I picked up, why must I give it to you?" "What do you want? I will trade for it." Meng Tianyu¡¯s fists were clenched so tightly that he knuckles almost shattered. The Heavenly Wood Cane was his dearest belonging. Not only did it involve his combat power, it also affected his ability to condense acute wood energy. Mo Wuji looked at Meng Tianyu as though he was looking at an idiot, "Union Head Meng, could you clear your debts first before discussing another trade with me?" With that, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to care about Meng Tianyu. He clasped his fists towards Guang Quan and said, "Dao Lord Guang, I was heavily injured by Union Head Meng just now. My body is riddled with injuries and I need to go back and recover now. When I come out, I will pay a visit to Dao Lord Guang, and at the same time, I would bring Dao Lord Guang a huge business deal." "Sounds good, sounds good." Guang Quan also clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. "Let¡¯s go." Mo Wuji gestured to Master Pu Zi and co. and walked into Half Immortal Domain. Following Mo Wuji¡¯s departure, the surrounding cultivators also started to disperse. Everyone was now clear, from now on, there was another important figure in Half Immortal Domain. That figure was Mo Wuji. A person that could oppress Lord Axe and teach Immortal Seeking Union Head Meng Tianyu a lesson; who would dare find trouble with him? Some of them even wanted to enter Mo Wuji¡¯s team. ¡­ "Dao Friend Mo, not only did you offend Meng Tianyu this time, you also offended Guang Quan. Will our stay in Half Immortal Domain be too dangerous?" After they returned to Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal estate, Master Pu Zi was the first to speak up. Before Mo Wuji could reply, Tong Ye said loudly, "What danger? At the most, we¡¯ll just fight another battle. I¡¯m still very grateful to Brother Mo, for allowing us brothers to come back to Half Immortal Domain, and even kicking the ass of that b*stard Hong Fuji." Mo Wuji was no longer as carefree as he was when he ridiculed Meng Tianyu, his tone was solemn as he said, "I was forced to come back here. It¡¯s not just because my cultivation is too low, but also because I need to strike a deal with Guang Quan to obtain a huge amount of spirit stone slags. By the time I come out of my cultivation, I wouldn¡¯t be afraid of Guang Quan and Meng Tianyu. I¡¯m only afraid that they might invite experts from Immortal Domain to help." Chapter 429: You Better Believe Me! Chapter 429: You Better Believe Me! Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As time passed, the incident which happened outside Half Immortal Domain became a mere topic of idle chatter. Because Mo Wuji entered closed door cultivation, Master Pu Zi and co. also entered closed doors. Digging blackstone, to them, had become completely unnecessary. With Mo Wuji¡¯s help, even if they had been severely afflicted with the acute wind energy, they didn¡¯t have to worry. Even though he had suffered greatly under Mo Wuji¡¯s hands, Meng Tianyu didn¡¯t go to cause trouble for Mo Wuji. On the other hand, Lord Axe had been continuously making trips out recently, seemingly preparing something. ¡­ In Mo Wuji¡¯s room, the spirit stone slag surrounding him shattered continuously. There were at least tens of thousands of spirit stone slags around him; Mo Wuji had long gone past the stage where the had to consider about the use of his spirit stone slags. Including this spiritual energy gathered from his spirit gathering array, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation went as smoothly as a fish in water. "Crack!" Large pieces of spirit stone slags turned to flying dust. In a little over a month, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation had already stepped into Earthly Immortal Stage Level 2. The amount of energy absorbed at Earthly Immortal Stage Level 2 was not truck-loads, but sea-loads. However, Mo Wuji did not restrain himself, but even took out more spirit stone slags and furiously absorbed the spiritual energy within. Because he was wealthy, the piles of spirit stone slags around him already numbered close to 50,000. In Half Immortal Domain, there was definitely two second person that could spend spirit stone slags so extravagantly like Mo Wuji. Even though Guang Quan¡¯s fortune might be more than Mo Wuji, he would not dare to cultivate like Mo Wuji. Other than the fact that he was already in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage, he also needed to take heed of the acute wood energy. ¡­ It¡¯s already the sixth month of Mo Wuji¡¯s closed doors; Lord Axe, once again, made another trip out of Half Immortal Domain. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Mo Wuji, he no longer dared to conduct his underground blackstone business. One thing was because he wasn¡¯t as wealthy as Meng Tianyu; losing 20,000 spirit stone slags had already caused him a severe headache. The second thing was because of Mo Wuji, no one dared to transact with him anymore. He had even dared to cheat a person like Mo Wuji; who would dare to find him? Not everyone could be like Mo Wuji, to return from the outside after a few months to teach him a lesson. "What¡¯s Hong Fuji that fella doing? Not only is he unwilling to work with me, he¡¯s also running here and there." Meng Tianyu frowned as he stared at the huge monitoring screen in the room. The person sitting opposite him was exactly the Dao Lord of Half Immortal Domain, Guang Quan. Guang Quan had naturally also seen Hong Fuji take out a flying treasure and leave Half Immortal Domain. However, he was not as agitated as Meng Tianyu as he said calmly, "Let him do what he likes. The Immortal Domain experts that he knows should have something up their sleeves. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take part whenever the experts from the Immortal Domain cross the Half Immortal Domain to purchase the blackstones. You should also know why Hong Fuji dares to conduct the underground blackstone business. His spirit stone slags come from that Immortal Domain fella. I guess that he must be making these trips to invite that guy to teach Mo Wuji a lesson. We don¡¯t need to care about him. What we need to do now is to welcome the experts that are coming over from the Immortal Domain this time around." "Brother Guang, that Mo Wuji actually doesn¡¯t fear the acute wood energy, should we ask for the help of the people from the Immortal Domain?" Meng Tianyu licked his lips, asking Guang Quan with a fawning tone. Before he lost his Heavenly Wood Cane, he could be considered an equal with Guang Quan. On the surface, he was the union head of Immortal Seeking Union, but in reality, he had the identity of a manager of Half Immortal Domain. Now that his Heavenly Wood Cane had been snatched away by Mo Wuji, his status in front of Guang Quan had directly fallen by half. What he was more worried of was that if Hong Fuji was able to get an Immortal Domain expert to take care of Mo Wuji, then he would never be able to retrieve his Heavenly Wood Cane. Guang Quan smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you don¡¯t have to be worried. You think a mere Mo Wuji is worth the actions from the experts from the Immortal Domain? Previously, he was lucky enough to trump over you because he wasn¡¯t afraid of your acute wood energy. By the time he leaves from his closed doors, he will be sure to find me. Then, I will let him know who is the true owner of Half Immortal Domain." Asking the people from Immortal Domain to deal with Mo Wuji? Guang Quan could only say in his heart that Meng Tianyu was overthinking things. Mo Wuji had something on him that was able to resolve acute wood energy. Whether it was a magic treasure or something else, it was extremely important to him, Guang Quan. Moreover, he also wanted the Heavenly Wood Cane. How could he let these important things on Mo Wuji land in the hands of the experts from Immortal Domain? As for Hong Fuji finding help from that Immortal Domain expert, he could also say that Hong Fuji was also overthinking things. The deals between that Immortal Domain fella and Hong Fuji had always been secret deals; he definitely wouldn¡¯t come to Half Immortal Domain. Now that Mo Wuji was behind closed doors, how was he going to deal with Mo Wuji? At the same time, as long as Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t stupid, he wouldn¡¯t be fazed by the talks of Hong Fuji making frequent trips out of Half Immortal Domain. But was Mo Wuji stupid? At least in his, Guang Quan¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t. Meng Tianyu sighed in his heart. He knew that ever since his Heavenly Wood Cane had been snatched by Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t have any bargaining rights in front of Guang Quan. Guang Quan casually stood up, "Brother Meng, today is the day that the experts from Immortal Domain come to collect the blackstone. Let¡¯s head out early to welcome them." Even though he was discontented in his heart, Meng Tianyu could only stand up and follow Guang Quan out of this Dao Lord Mansion. ¡­ At the same time, Lord Axe was kneeling in front of a huge piece of blackstone, there was a man sitting on top of that blackstone. That man¡¯s eyes were thin and long, but his nose bridge was extremely short; he looked incredibly weird. "Why did you come empty-handed? Where¡¯s the blackstone?" The man¡¯s tone was cold and harsh. Lord Axe subconsciously started quivering, before he hurriedly faced his head to the ground and said, "Lord Gong, please help me." If it was a person familiar with Lord Axe, he would never have thought that such a vicious and ferocious person would be kneeling and crying as he complained about his grievances. "What¡¯s the matter?" The man with the surname Gong started frowning. He chose Hong Fuji to help him get blackstone because he thought that this fella was fierce. Lord Axe¡¯s current appearance had clearly disappointed him; he really wanted to use a single kick and turn this fella into meat juice. Lord Axe hurriedly said, "Answering Lord Gong, I had already gathered over 1000 blackstones, but they had been snatched by someone. Not only did he snatch my blackstones, he even killed more than 10 of my underlings, and even robbed all of my half immortal rocks." The thin eyed man sent Lord Axe flying with a single kick. A hint of sharp and enraged light could be seen from his pair of thin eyes. He chose Hong Fuji as his partner here wasn¡¯t because he wanted to help this fella rise to power. If this fella could be bullied even in Half Immortal Domain, then what¡¯s the point of him? How could Lord Axe show any dissatisfaction? After he recovered, he immediately continued to kneel in front of this thin eyed man. The thin eyed man inhaled a deep breath, then said solemnly, "Is it Guang Quan?" From his perspective, the only person who would dare act against Hong Fuji in Half Immortal Domain could only be Guang Quan; there was really no one else. But it was not possible for it to be Guang Quan ah, Guang Quan knew of his existence. If Guang Quan acted against Hong Fuji, it would be equivalent to slapping his, Gong Hou¡¯s face. "No, it¡¯s a new guy called Mo Wuji. He just came to Half Immortal Domain for a few years but he¡¯s already so arrogant," Hong Fuji said arrogantly. "Very good. Go and bring this man out of Half Immortal Domain. Let me see exactly how bold he is." "Ah¡­" Lord Axe was momentarily stunned. Call Mo Wuji out of Half Immortal Domain? Wasn¡¯t that finding his own death? "What? You don¡¯t even dare to call him out, your life is really a waste of spirit stones ah¡­" Gong Hou¡¯s voice had turned slightly cold. When Lord Axe heard this voice, his entire body started shivering. He didn¡¯t dare to say anything else as he replied respectfully, "Rest assured lord, I will definitely call that Mo Wuji out." Gong Hou¡¯s voice immediately turned warm as he nodded his head and said, "Not bad. If you do this well, I will give you some compensations." "Yes, yes! I will do it right away." As Lord Axe retreated, he responded respectfully. ¡­ "Kacha!" The spirit stone slags around Mo Wuji seemed to have planned for it, they all shattered simultaneously. And at the same time, Mo Wuji had broke through the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 4 and had reached Level 5. This was already the tenth month he spent behind closed doors. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan his spirit stone slags; out of his 300,000 spirit stone slags, he was left with roughly half of them. From the looks of it, he still had the chance to step into the Extreme Heaven Stage with these spirit stone slags. Just as Mo Wuji was about to pour out another pile of spirit stone slags to cultivate, the restrictions around his immortal estate suddenly trembled. Mo Wuji was curious as to who was disturbing his cultivation because before he entered closed doors, he had already instructed Master Pu Zi and co. not to disturb him unless something special happened. Just as Mo Wuji swept outwards with his spiritual will, the person standing outside his immortal estate was unexpectedly Lord Axe. This guy should thank his lucky stars that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to kill him previously. Mo Wuji never expected that this fella would come knocking on his door. Mo Wuji waved his hands, opening his restrictions. Immediately, he said coldly, "Hong Fuji, you¡¯re quite daring, to come and disturb my cultivation." The moment Lord Axe decided to trigger Mo Wuji¡¯s restrictions, he had already cast life and death aside. He knew that if he was unable to bring Mo Wuji in front of that lord, he, Hong Fuji, would also meet a bad ending. Now that he saw Mo Wuji open the restrictions, he directly gritted his teeth and entered Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal estate. He clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and said, "Mo Wuji, I want to challenge you. However, it won¡¯t be in Half Immortal Domain, but outside Half Immortal Domain. If you have the balls, then follow me out." Mo Wuji stared coldly at Lord Axe and said calmly, "Hong Fuji, even before I learnt to wear pants, I already know of such tricks. You are, at the end of a day, an Earthly Immortal cultivator. But why are your tricks of such low standards? With your terrified appearance, do you look like you dare to challenge me? Come tell me the truth, why do you want to get me out. Remember, you only have one chance. If you say the wrong things, I will immediately turn you to dust, then continue with my cultivation. Moreover, I can dare confirm that Guang Quan wouldn¡¯t say a single thing. You better believe me!" Lord Axe suddenly felt that there was a line of cold sweat on his back. He suddenly felt how laughable he was when he acted arrogantly in front of those other cultivators back in his underground business. Not only was he a kowtowing bug in front of Gong Hou, he couldn¡¯t even keep a shred of self-esteem in front of a newbie like Mo Wuji. What underground boss? In front of experts, he was just an ant. No, he might not even be an ant. Just now, he was also treated like sh*t by Gong Hou, now, he was treated like crap by Mo Wuji. "Remember, you only have one chance to say the truth." Mo Wuji¡¯s blunt words directly shattered the last bits of Lord Axe¡¯s self-esteem. Chapter 430: I Want Money More Than My Life Chapter 430: I Want Money More Than My Life Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A deep sense of powerlessness arose in Lord Axe''s heart. Even though he did not feel any killing intent from Mo Wuji, he was sure that Mo Wuji wasn''t lying. When he knew that Mo Wuji had dared to fight with Meng Tianyu, and had even stolen Meng Tianyu''s magic treasure, unless he was crazy, he wouldn''t have come. Needless to say, there was only one outcome for him now. If he didn''t say anything, he would die. But if Mo Wuji didn''t follow him, he would also die. As he thought of this, Lord Axe gritted his teeth and said, "Dao Friend Mo, you''re right. I''m indeed lying to you. Actually, I''m not the one who wants to lure you out, but my superior. You should know that every time the Immortal Domain experts come to trade for blackstone, it would always be Guang Quan handling the transactions. By some chance, I managed to get acquainted with one of those people from the Immortal Domain. That person wants to me to purchase blackstones then sell it to him privately. Because I had to give you my spirit stone slags, I''m no longer able to purchase any more blackstones for him. That person wants to meet you." Mo Wuji said indifferently, "You''re afraid that I wouldn''t go and meet him, then he would take away your little life, which is why you''re trying to trick me out, right?" "That''s right." The cat''s already out of the bag, Lord Axe could only tell the truth. "What''s his name? And do you know his rough cultivation?" Mo Wuji wasn''t surprised with Hong Fuji''s actions. Even if it was someone else, he probably would have done the same thing as Hong Fuji. However, he was not like any other person. He needed large amounts of spirit stone slags and if he could directly transact with a person from the Immortal Domain, then it would be the best possible scenario. As long as this person''s cultivation wasn''t much higher than his, his life wouldn''t be threatened. At the most, he could escape to the Mining Area of Death. The worst situation was if the other party''s cultivation vastly exceeded his, and he wouldn''t even have a chance to escape. When Hong Fuji heard that Mo Wuji sounded like he would go, he immediately said, "His name is Gong Hou, he should be in the Heavenly Immortal Stage. It''s rumored that the cultivators across the Immortal Chasm were at the Great Circle of the Heavenly Immortal Stage at the very most. As for the reason, it should be due to blackstone." "Oh, you know the uses of blackstone?" Mo Wuji instantly got interested. Knowing that the other party was a Heavenly Immortal cultivator, he was no longer afraid. Hong Fuji shook his head and said, "I only know that immortals are related to blackstone. As for the exact relations, I''m not too sure about it myself." Mo Wuji nodded, "Alright, I will follow you. Lead the way." "Ah¡­ Ok, Dao Friend Mo, please follow me." Hong Fuji was filled with ecstasy. He never expected that Mo Wuji would really dare to follow him. As he recalled that Mo Wuji even dared to fight Meng Tianyu, he roughly came to an understanding. Mo Wuji was like a baby calf; he was rather powerful and had yet to face anyone much stronger than him. This time, he will definitely know what it means to be an immortal. When he thought about how Lord Gong Hou was going to take revenge for him, Hong Fuji was so excited that even his feet were trembling. Mo Wuji casually sent a flying messenger sword to Master Pu Zi, telling Master Pu Zi that he was going to meet an immortal. If he did not return in a day, he wanted Master Pu Zi and co. to immediately leave Half Immortal Domain. Master Pu Zi and co. could still reside in Half Immortal Domain because of him. But if he could no longer return to Half Immortal Domain, then Master Pu Zi and co. would be left in a dangerous situation. Just as Mo Wuji and Hong Fuji reached the entrance of Half Immortal Domain, an extremely intense spiritual will came scanning over; Mo Wuji hurriedly retracted his aura. This strong spiritual will definitely didn''t belong to Guang Quan, nor any other cultivator from Half Immortal Domain. It definitely belonged to an expert from Immortal Domain. "Have the people from Immortal Domain come to the Half Immortal Domain?" After leaving Half Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji finally asked. Hong Fuji nodded, "That''s right. Usually every half a year to a year, they would come and trade for blackstone. That spiritual will that just swept past us should be from an expert from the Immortal Domain." It was indeed the case. Mo Wuji had a new apprehension in his heart. He was truly not a match for such an expert. From the looks of it, with his ability at Earthly Immortal Stage Level 5, he could only be a king in the Half Immortal Domain. But if he met a real Heavenly Immortal expert, he would still have to be careful. ¡­ Lord Axe was worried that Mo Wuji would change his mind halfway, so he pushed his flying treasure to his max. Mo Wuji''s flying car was forged by Master Pu Zi using a huge piece of Celestial Sunflower Gold. No matter how fast Lord Axe went, Mo Wuji was able to casually keep up. This led to a sense of crisis within Lord Axe; if he was ever chased by Mo Wuji, it would be hard for him to escape. Half a day later, Lord Axe stopped. Mo Wuji also kept the flying car. He saw a grey robed man sitted cross-legged on a huge piece of black rock. The guy¡¯s eyes were low, and his aura was retracted. Mo Wuji was unable to discern this fella¡¯s cultivation with his spiritual will. This person was definitely that Immortal Domain expert trading with Lord Axe. Mo Wuji''s face was calm and without emotion, he didn''t even exude any ripples of elemental energy. However, his spirit storage channel and elemental storage channel had already been pushed to the max. He could burst out with full power at any moment. "Lord Gong, I have already brought Mo Wuji over. It''s this person." Hong Fuji stepped forward and kneeled on the floor. His tone was respectful and cautious. Mo Wuji could even hear a sort of relaxedness in his voice. "You are Mo Wuji? The newbie who stole Hong Fuji''s blackstones and half immortal stones?" Gong Hou raised his head and his gaze landed on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji stared at this immortal in front of him; he had a pair of thin and long eyes, his nose bridge was short to the point where he looked horrendous. "That''s right, I am Mo Wuji. I deserved those half immortal stones for selling my blackstones to Hong Fuji. I, Mo Wuji, might not be rich, but I won''t stoop so low as to stealing," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said calmly. It''s a joke if he were to kowtow to this person like Hong Fuji. Besides his parents, he, Mo Wuji, had never kneeled in front of anyone. A mere Heavenly Immortal, he could even be the pseudo-immortal mentioned by Master Pu Zi, but would he be qualified for Mo Wuji to kneel in front of? When Hong Fuji heard Mo Wuji''s words, his entire body started shivering, he hurriedly said, "Lord Gong, because Mo Wuji snatched away my half immortal stones, I''m unable to purchase any blackstone. This is why I''m unable to collect any blackstones for the lord." Originally, he had a bit of blackstones. But previously, he had to ask Guang Quan for permission to attack Mo Wuji, and all these blackstones ended up in Guang Quan''s pocket. Gong Hou nodded, he spoke to Hong Fuji in a carefree manner, "I can''t blame you. You''ve worked so hard over these years, go then¡­" When he heard the last two words, Hong Fuji''s entire body turned cold, a deep sense of impending doom erupted from the bottom of his heart. He immediately knew that Gong Hou wanted to kill him. He couldn''t care about anything else, his body burst forth with elemental energy as he tried to escape. "Boom!" A black light flashed over. Hong Fuji wasn''t even able to cry out in pain before he was turned into ash by this black light. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t use any spiritual will, nor exude any elemental energy ripples, he could clearly feel that this Lord Gong was far stronger than him. That elemental energy enveloping him far exceeded the boundaries of usual elemental energy. Could this be the legendary immortal energy? Unfortunately, the Lord Axe that once reigned over the undergrounds of Half Immortal Domain, had disappeared off the face of the world in a single instant. "Mo Wuji, you know why I killed him?" After Gong Hou killed Hong Fuji, he acted as though nothing had happened as he calmly asked Mo Wuji this question. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart, if you want to use this method to intimidate me, a fake immortal like you wasn¡¯t enough. "Why you killed him is none of my business. If your Excellency has nothing else, I won¡¯t continue to accompany you." Mo Wuji said might have said that but his feet didn¡¯t move at all. His expression didn¡¯t even change. Gong Hou chortled, "Not bad, you have balls. Ever since you came here, you didn¡¯t protect yourself with any sort of elemental energy defenses. When you see me, you didn¡¯t even kneel. Now, your tone is also so aggressive. Could it be that you think that I wouldn¡¯t dare to kill you?" Mo Wuji said indifferently, "You can try, but I also want to say one thing. If you do try, we will never have the chance of working together. I would not want to work together with a person that wants to kill me." After he said this, there was finally a bit of elemental ripples arounds Mo Wuji¡¯s body. However, these ripples were not obvious, like those formed when a gentle breeze blew over a calm lake. When Gong Hou heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he was instantly enraged. He slowly lifted his hand; he did not attack, but instead, a green pill appeared in his palm. "Swallow this pill. Then I will work with you." With that, Gong Hou shot the pill towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not even receive it as he directly flicked the pill back, "I don¡¯t like working with others when my life is threatened. If Dao Friend Gong wants to carry on like this, then I will no longer be accompanying you." Thereafter, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed, appearing tens of meters away. "The most peak grade of the Wind Escape Technique?" Gong Hou¡¯s thin eyes squinted even more. "No wonder why you¡¯re so reckless with your words, you do have some ability. Say it, what do you want to trade? How many blackstones can you give me?" When Mo Wuji heard Gong Hou¡¯s words, he stopped and said calmly, "That will depend on how many spirit stones you can provide. If you can provide stones of good enough quality or high enough quantity, I wouldn¡¯t mind even if you fed me poison. For example, that green pill that you just took out." "Haha, interesting." Gong Hou chortled loudly. This was the first time seeing someone that cared so much for profit, a person who cared more about money than his life. Seemingly knowing what Gong Hou was thinking, Mo Wuji said calmly, "You¡¯re right. I am that person who wants money more than my life. Let¡¯s see whether you have the capability to make me do so." "Hong Fuji is able to provide me thousands of blackstone in a year. Now, I want 10 to 20 thousand blackstone. Do you have it?" Gong Hou¡¯s slitted eyes seemed to glow with sharp light as he stared straight at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji remained emotionless as he said, "10 to 20 thousand has its price. 80 to 100 thousand also has its price. If you only want a few thousand blackstones, I¡¯m not really interested in this business." "What, you can get 80 to 100 thousand?" Gong Hou who always thought that he was leading the conversation suddenly stood up. His eyes were filled with emotions. One must know that thousands of blackstones was already a huge number, what more tens of thousands? Actually every year Hong Fuji was only able to provide him 1,000 to 2,000 blackstones. Chapter 431: Bargaining Chapter 431: Bargaining Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I¡¯m called Gong Hou. If it is really as you said, then I won¡¯t leave you disappointed. Tell me your price then." When Mo Wuji talked about coming out with 80 to 100 thousand blackstones, Gong Hou immediately changed his mind. He sat back down; his tone went calm. In Half Immortal Domain, it was easy to find someone to replace Hong Fuji. But to find someone like Mo Wuji, it was practically impossible. Mo Wuji extended his hand, a sizeable rock landed by his side. He also sat down. Since Gong Hou was sitting, he was not accustomed to standing in front of Gong Hou. When Gong Hou saw that Mo Wuji took the initiative to sit, his eyes gleamed with that sharp light again, but it soon dimmed down. This time, he did not do anything. He wanted to know how many hidden cards Mo Wuji had for him to act so arrogantly. Mo Wuji said unhurriedly, "Before the trade, I have some questions to ask Dao Friend Gong." "Say it, as long as it is related to the trade, I will be able to answer you." Gong Hou¡¯s previous agitation was long gone; now he had become calm. "Alright, the first question I want to ask Dao Friend Gong is, what is the function of blackstone?" After Mo Wuji asked that question, he stared at Gong Hou. He guessed that Gong Hou wouldn¡¯t answer this question, but he still carried that bit of hope. Gong Hou looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, "Mo Wuji, you¡¯re a clever man. Ask me some questions that I can answer." Mo Wuji did not mind, as he continued to ask, "The second question is, what is the spirit stone slag? Is it the waste items from immortal mines?" Gong Hou chuckled, "I am able to answer this question. Your guess is not wrong. Immortal crystals are the items used in the Immortal World. Immortal crystals would typically be cut and processed to roughly the same size; they could be used for cultivation, as well as transaction. Immortal crystals of different sizes would be cut into the same size; the bits of waste generated are the half immortal stones, or your spirit stone slags." Mo Wuji created the meridian cultivation technique, and was a dignified founder. The moment he listened to Gong Hou¡¯s words, he immediately came to an understanding. Even though spirit stone slags contained far more spiritual energy than the stones he had from the cultivator¡¯s world, but because it was merely the waste from the processing of immortal crystals, it did not contain any natural dao halos. He could also confirm, a complete immortal crystal and a processed immortal crystal would have a huge difference on his cultivation, perhaps even a whole grade of difference. "Many thanks, the third question is, are these spirit stone slags cut from the corners of the lowest grade of immortal crystals? If it is, does that mean that there are immortal crystals of higher grades?" At this instant, Mo Wuji already had a rough plan in his mind. Gong Hou looked at Mo Wuji and said calmly, "You¡¯re indeed quite smart, to be able to draw such inferences from one example. You¡¯re right, spirit stone slags are merely the waste from processed low grade immortal crystals. Besides low grade immortal crystals, there¡¯s also intermediate grade immortal crystals, high grade immortal crystals and even top grade immortal crystals." It was indeed the case, Mo Wuji clasped his fists to Gong Hou and said, "Dao Friend Gong, are you able to provide me low or intermediate grade immortal crystals, or even high grade ones?" When Gong Hou heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, half of his lips started twitching; he had been thoroughly angered by Mo Wuji. To actually ask for intermediate ot high grade immortal crystals, was this fella crazy? "Dao Friend Mo, I hope that you can be more rational. Even I haven¡¯t seen a high grade immortal crystal, much less you. As for intermediate grade immortal crystals, I have indeed seen them before, and even had some before, but I only had a few of them. I do have some low grade immortal crystals, but I¡¯m also unable to trade them with you. I can only take out the shredded half immortal stones, nothing more than that. At the most, I could give you a bit of low grade immortal crystals." Gong Hou¡¯s tone was derisive; he felt that Mo Wuji was really unreasonable. Mo Wuji did not even have a single fluctuation of emotions, he only extended his palm and said, "I can give you 5,000 blackstones in a year, how many spirit stone slags is that worth?" Gong Hou suddenly stood up and stared coldly at Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, do you think that just because you have the Wind Escape Technique, you can make sport of me, Gong Hou?" Mo Wuji sat without moving, "Gong Hou, tell me, when have I made sport of you?" "Just now, you said 10 to 20 thousand, maybe even 80 to 100 thousand blackstones. But now, you¡¯re only giving me 5,000 blackstones a year, you really have guys," As Gong Hou spoke, he surged with killing intent, causing the surroundings to tremble. Mo Wuji said derisively, "Gong Hou, could it be that you want to snatch my blackstones with your higher cultivation? Otherwise, how could you be so shameless, to use spirit stone slags to exchange for my tens of thousands of blackstones? Even though I may only be an Earthly Immortal, I¡¯m not so easily scammed? You know how I got my blackstones? I got it at the expense of woodifying my spirit channels." When he heard Mo Wuji say that using shredded immortal crystals to exchange for blackstones was a scam, Gong Hou was instantly enraged. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji said that he could provide tens of thousands of blackstones, Gong Hou would have already attacked. "Mo Wuji, you need to be clear of one thing. There¡¯s no need to talk about the trade between us, even the trade between Guang Quan and the Immortal Domain also uses shredded immortal crystals." Gong Hou was forcefully suppressing his anger, saying his words one at a time. Mo Wuji remained calm and expressionless, "Even Guang Quan would not be able to take out the same amount of blackstones as me. Also, if you aren¡¯t able to provide better conditions, then why do I have to trade with you? Can¡¯t I just trade with the Immortal Domain? If Guang Quan can do it, then so could I. As for the 5,000 blackstones every year, I believe that Hong Fuji wouldn¡¯t even be able to provide that amount." Mo Wuji¡¯s words caused Gong Hou to instantly calm down; Mo Wuji¡¯s words were the truth ah. If he wasn¡¯t able to come out with better conditions, why would Mo Wuji want to trade with him? When he was trading with Hong Fuji, he was the boss, while Hong Fuji was an ant. Why was it that when he was discussing business with Mo Wuji, it felt like Mo Wuji was the boss, while he was simply a pawn. "If I want 20,000 blackstones a year, what do you need from me?" Gong Hou placed his dissatisfaction to the side; blackstone was the most important thing. "1,000,000 low grade immortal crystals." Mo Wuji demanded an exorbitant price. Gong Hou was angered to the point of laughter, "Mo Wuji, you think that I will use 1,000,000 low grade immortal crystals to exchange for 20,000 of your blackstones?" Mo Wuji guessed that Gong Hou was speaking the truth. He was also rather helpless; although he knew that the value of 20,000 spirit stones was definitely more than 1,000,000 low grade immortal crystals, what could he do? Unless, he could sell the blackstones at Immortal Domain¡­ The moment this idea sprouted, Mo Wuji was unable to suppress it. Even though he had more than 1,000,000 blackstones, this amount of blackstones was far from enough. He still needed to get more blackstones, then bring the blackstones over to Immortal Domain and slowly earn a fortune. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji felt that it was okay to be disadvantaged for now. "For 20,000 blackstones, I will give you 1,000,000 shredded immortal crystals, as well as 10,000 low grade immortal crystals. This price is already much higher than what I offered Hong Fuji," Gong Hou said resolutely. Even though he would be able to make a fortune at Mo Wuji¡¯s price, this private deal was involved with many other factors; he wouldn¡¯t be keeping all the profits alone. "Then Dao Friend Gong only wants 20,000 blackstones?" Mo Wuji did not accept, not reject anything. A deal of merely 20,000 blackstones truly didn¡¯t catch his eye. However, his mood did change when Gong Hou promised the 10,000 low grade immortal crystals. Since Gong Hou could willingly offer 10,000 low grade immortal crystals, then he could also take out 100,000. If he could take out 100,000, then he could also take out 1,000,000. All this was just a process. It¡¯s just like a drug abuser. For his very first time, he was probably trying it out. But when there¡¯s a first time, there would be a second time. Soon, he would be addicted. "I definitely want more blackstones. If you have 100,000 blackstones, I can give you 10,000,000 shredded immortal crystals and 100,000 low grade immortal crystals," Gong Hou did not hesitate to say. This price was much better than the price he previously quoted. "I don¡¯t want shredded immortal crystals. For 100,000 blackstones, give me 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals. There¡¯s no need for any further negotiations." Mo Wuji stood up. He was sure that blackstones would be able to earn a huge windfall of profits. His price was already much lesser than what he first said. He did not believe that Gong Hou was willing to give up on this sort of profits. Master Pu Zi said that 10,000,000 spirit stone slags was enough for them to cross the Immortal Chasm. If he was able to obtain 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals, then he would definitely be better able to power the Immortal-Traversing Ship. The value of 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals should definitely be more than a billion spirit stone slags. Gong Hou clenched his fists tightly. He wasn¡¯t angry, but was currently weighing his profits. For something like blackstone, the more he had, the more valuable it becomes. If Mo Wuji was able to hand over 100,000 blackstones, then he would be able to compete with Immortal Domain itself. He definitely couldn¡¯t let those higher ups know of this deal. The reason he was able to follow those from the Immortal Domain over, was primarily because he wasn¡¯t able to obtain many blackstones in his private deals. To the Immortal Domain, it was merely scraps. But if he could purchase 100,000 blackstones every time, then things would no longer be the same. "Dao Friend Mo, 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals is truly too much. It¡¯s more than 10 times the price I offered to Hong Fuji." Gong Hou calmed down. He must definitely make this deal with Mo Wuji. If he could get 100,000 blackstones every year, then what would he have after 10 years? He didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji would only be trading with him for this year. This was his first time calling Mo Wuji a ¡®dao friend¡¯. Mo Wuji said calmly, "The amount of blackstones I¡¯m offering is more than 10 times what Hong Fuji offered." Gong Hou said in his heart: If you really can offer 100,000 blackstones, then it¡¯s definitely more than 10 times, it¡¯s already 100 times. "Alright, 3,000,000 it is. Where do you keep your blackstones?" Gong Hou gritted his teeth and directly accepted Mo Wuji¡¯s price. Mo Wuji smiled, "Dao Friend Gong, you should know that I wouldn¡¯t bring my blackstones around with me. Actually, I only have over 20,000 blackstones on me. There¡¯s still tens of thousands left to dig up. I also believe that you wouldn¡¯t carry 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals around with you." Chapter 432: Abacus and Ku Ya Chapter 432: Abacus and Ku Ya Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The next time you visit, we will hold the transaction here. A handful of blackstones for a handful of immortal crystals. Of course, before you leave, you have to lend me a storage ring, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be able to bring so many blackstones over," Mo Wuji answered. "How can I trust you?" Gong Hou stared at Mo Wuji as he asked. "You can give me a poison pill and you can hand me the antidote only after we complete this transaction the next time we meet, how about this?" Mo Wuji answered with any second thoughts. From the start, Mo Wuji had already wanted to have a storage ring from Gong Hou. The storage ring that Master Pu Zi forged was still slightly small and if he was preparing to bring large amount of blackstones to make a fortune at the Immortal Domain, he definitely needed a storage ring with a bigger storage space. Gong Hou stared at Mo Wuji for a long while before sighing, "There are actually cultivators like you in this world, alright, I trust you." Ever since he started cultivating, this was indeed his first time seeing someone who wanted money more than his own life. He wouldn¡¯t believe it if someone were to tell him that Mo Wuji was able to detoxify his toxin because there was no detoxification herbs in the entire Half Immortal Domain and the lower class cultivation world. "This is a storage ring and there is a communication bead inside which I will make use of to inform you of my next visit," Gong Hou let out a long sigh as he took out a storage ring for Mo Wuji. He couldn¡¯t believe how a rapacious cultivator like Mo Wuji was able to advance into the Earthly Immortal Stage and even arrived here at the Half Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji took over the storage ring and used his spiritual will to scan through it to find out that the space within the storage ring was definitely more than 10 times bigger than the storage ring which Master Pu Zi forged. This storage ring would allow him to store even more blackstones and even bring these to the Half Immortal Domain. After watching Mo Wuji took over the storage ring, he retrieved a dark green pill and threw it to Mo Wuji, "Swallow this pill now and I will give you the antidote the next time I see you." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he swallowed the dark green pill immediately and a fishy smell permeated through his entire body. At the instant Mo Wuji swallowed the pill, Mo Wuji¡¯s detoxification meridian started to undergo spiritual circulation and in no time, the detoxification meridian managed to detoxify the toxin which permeated through his entire body. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t control the toxin forcefully, he almost spat the toxin out immediately. The detoxified toxin turned into a greater spiritual energy and even though he didn¡¯t start to cultivate, Mo Wuji could feel his strength increasing. Mo Wuji even suspected that the moment he absorbed this spiritual energy, there was a high possibility of him breaking through into the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 6. At this moment, Mo Wuji really wanted to say, "Dao Friend Gong, do you have more of this pill? Could you spare me more of it?" However, Mo Wuji knew that the moment he said such things, Gong Hou would start to suspect something. "Not bad, you can go now," Noticing that Mo Wuji had already swallowed the pill, Gong Hou nodded satisfyingly as he could feel the poisonous aura surrounding Mo Wuji which was natural because of the toxin. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t leave immediately as he clasped his fists and said, "Dao Friend Gong, since we are considered close friends now, may I ask if you travelled to the Half Immortal Domain via a flying ship?" He was really curious to know if they came via a flying ship, otherwise, how did they deal with the dangers of the Immortal Chasm? Gong Hou¡¯s face turned solemn, "You don¡¯t have the rights to know all these because the more you ask, the shorter your life would be. Also, let me warn you first, even if our future deals would include you receiving the low grade immortal crystals, you must not let it leak out. The Immortal Domain didn¡¯t allow any low grade immortal crystals to appear in the Half Immortal Domain, otherwise, one would only await his death." Mo Wuji asked in a serious tone, "Do not worry, Dao Friend Gong, as I will definitely not reveal the immortal crystals. Oh yes, does Dao Friend Gong has any low grade immortal crystals with you now? Could you lend me a few thousands first for me to enjoy it? Gong Hou almost spat out blood when he heard this because how could this fella be this despicable? This made him miss Hong Fuji because that fella was just a kowtow insect which was much easier to control than this fella in front of him. Noticing how Gong Hou¡¯s expression was turning ugly, Mo Wuji guessed that his attempt to loan the immortal crystals was at risk so he hurried to say, "Dao Friend Gong, back at my hometown, we call this paying deposit. Deposit would make progress and relationship smoother, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t really be interested in this immortal crystals. Even though I know these small amount of immortal crystals may not mean much to you, it would provide me with the motivation and energy in my life." Mo Wuji still had large amount of spirit stone slags with him but as his cultivation level increased, the time needed to advance to the next stage increased too. If he really wanted to cultivate faster, he needed spiritual energy which was one grade higher than the ones he was absorbing now. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji was blabbering rubbish, Gong Hou still took out a pile of immortal crystals at the thought of how Mo Wuji was willing to sacrifice his life for the immortal crystals, "There are one thousand immortal crystals here which you can use first. Do not disappoint me because if you don¡¯t show me enough blackstones, you will suffer the consequences of it." "Dao Friend Gong, do not worry about this," Mo Wuji muttered as his attention was already on the pile of immortal crystals. The dense and pure aura of the immortal spiritual energy ignited a fire in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. He took a step forward and kept the 1000 immortal crystals into his storage ring and he knew from that moment that there wouldn¡¯t be any problem advancing into the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage now. "I want to warn you that unless there are unique circumstances and you have no choice, do not visit Dao Lord Guang Quan¡¯s Mansion," Gong Hou suddenly mentioned this as he waited for Mo Wuji to keep the immortal crystals. Mo Wuji asked inquisitively, "Why not?" He was indeed preparing to visit Guang Quan¡¯s Dao Lord Mansion and despite the fact that he no longer wanted to trade with Guang Quan for the spirit stone slags, he wanted to see what valuables Guang Quan could offer him. "There is a deathtrap array in his Dao Lord Mansion called the partial killing array. This was a deathtrap array used in the Immortal Domain and even I might not be able to escape that. In other words, your life wouldn¡¯t be in your own hands the moment you enter his mansion and because of the extraordinary relationship between Guang Quan and the Immortal Domain, killing you was as significant as killing an ant. Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned ugly as he didn¡¯t expect Guang Quan to welcome him with a deathtrap array of such quality as it seemed like this fella was extremely cautious of Mo Wuji¡¯s strength. "I¡¯ve got it, many thanks Dao Friend Gong," Mo Wuji cupped his fist as he thanked Gong Hou sincerely. Gong Hou was in fact very pleased with Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude as he turned and left straightaway. He needed to accumulate spirit stones when he returned this time round because it would simply be impossible for him to find over a few hundred immortal crystals on his own. ¡­ Mo Wuji just returned to the Half Immortal Domain and he witnessed a flying ship disappearing without a trace from the entrance of the Half Immortal Domain. The speed of this flying ship was definitely greater than his flying car and Mo Wuji was able to guess at the first moment that these flying ships should belonged to the immortals who came to exchange for blackstones. "Mo Wuji is out from his closed doors cultivation and had even made a trip out," In Guang Quan¡¯s Dao Lord Mansion, Guang Quan sounded off after watching the massive monitoring array in front of him. Meng Tianyu didn¡¯t say anything because after he lost his Heavenly Wood Cane, he was nothing more than a subordinate to Gong Hou. "Brother Meng, the first thing Mo Wuji did after coming out was to make a trip out so what do you think he went to do? Do you think he would find me afterwards?" Guang Quan turned and asked Meng Tianyu out of the sudden. Previously when experts from the Immortal Domain came over to exchange for blackstones, Guang Quan didn¡¯t bother observing the monitoring screen and he didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji and Lord Axe had left the Half Immortal Domain too. Meng Tianyu sneered and said, "I believe you would definitely come back here." Guang Quan laughed out loud as he agreed with Meng Tianyu. This was because even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t come back to find him, he would definitely be looking for Meng Tianyu. As long as he was searching for Meng Tianyu, news would reach Mo Wuji that he was in the Dao Lord Mansion now. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go and find Meng Tianyu or Guang Quan because after sending a few messages to Master Pu Zi, he was preparing to come back behind closed doors of his cultivation. Given the fortune he had with him now, he really didn¡¯t fancy having anymore spirit stone slags. He had long planned to first break into the advanced Earthly Immortal Stage before bringing Master Pu Zi and co. to the Mining Area of Death to dig for more blackstones. The time to transact with Gong Hou would be the time the few of them left the Half Immortal Domain for the Immortal Chasm. The moment Mo Wuji entered his own immortal cave, he noticed that someone had messed with the restrictions put in place on his immortal cave. He knew that it was definitely not Master Pu Zi and co. because he was aware that they were all out so it was impossible for them to do so. Just as Mo Wuji was wondering if Guang Quan had come look for him, he could sense that someone was messing with the restrictions on his immortal cave again. Mo Wuji lifted the restrictions and there were two people standing outside his immortal cave. Mo Wuji recognised the both of them and even had serious enmity with them. One of them was Lord Axe¡¯s Abacus and the other one was the delicate and quiet Ku Ya. "Greetings Dao Friend Mo," Just as Mo Wuji lifted his restrictions, Abacus and Ku Ya greeted Mo Wuji with a bow. Mo Wuji hurried to respond, "Please come on in to speak." It was evident that the two of them had been waiting for him for a while now because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe it was so coincidental that they appeared just as he returned. The duo didn¡¯t hesitate as they immediately entered Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal cave. "I believe that both of you had came to see me more than once right? What did you come find me for?" Mo Wuji closed his immortal cave before speaking. Abacus answered respectfully, "Can we first ask Dao Friend Mo if Lord Axe had been killed?" Mo Wuji answered, "That¡¯s right, Hong Fuji had been killed but I wasn¡¯t the one who killed him." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel the need to hide anything from the two of them because he didn¡¯t fear them at all. Even if they started to act against him, it wouldn¡¯t be too difficult to finish the two of them off within minutes. "Gong Hou did it?" Ku Ya asked instantaneously. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes." Since the two of them knew who Gong Hou was, they should probably have seen it coming. Both Abacus and Ku Ya fell silent the moment they heard Mo Wuji confirming this fact. After a short moment of silence, Abacus and Ku Ya clasped their fists and said, "The two of us want to join Brother Mo¡¯s team and we please Brother Mo to accept us." Mo Wuji would never have expected the two of them to make such a request and he had never thought of accepting them before. Mo Wuji was so astonished when he heard this that he didn¡¯t answer them immediately. Noticing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t reply, Abacus sighed and said, "Since Brother Mo has his concerns, we shall take our leave first." Mo Wuji sounded out, "Why would you make such a decision out of the blue? If your explanation makes sense, I will let you join my team." He had an Immortal-Traversing Ship with him so it would naturally be better if he had more people as he travel to the Immortal Chasm. Mo Wuji had never personally witnessed Ku Ya¡¯s ability but he was clearly aware of the strength of Abacus. To Mo Wuji, Abacus was even stronger than Lou Chuanhe. Mo Wuji even suspected if Lord Axe could handle Abacus and in a solo battle, the Tong brothers might not even be able to contain Abacus too. Chapter 433: The Fuming Dao Lord Guang Chapter 433: The Fuming Dao Lord Guang Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations There were traces of helplessness in Abacus¡¯ voice, "Lord Axe had offended too many people including Guang Quan. Guang Quan might look friendly on the surface, however, he was a person who would seek revenge for even the slightest of grievance and was extremely scheming. When Lord Axe was still around, Guang Quan didn¡¯t dare to do anything to him because of Gong Hou but now that Lord Axe was dead, Guang Quan was bound to slaughter us. Another reason was because we had followed Lord Axe since forever so even if Guang Quan chose not to kill us, we have nowhere to go. No teams in the Half Immortal Domain was willing to accept us and without spirit stone slags, we wouldn¡¯t be able to last long too." After Abacus finished his piece, Ku Ya added, "Furthermore, Brother Abacus and I have already recognised Brother Mo as the only person who could be capable of walking out of the Half Immortal Domain in the future. Brother Mo was neither too arrogant nor humble and even had your own set of principles which was why we feel that joining you is the best option for us." "Alright, since this was the case, the two of you can stay. I need to undergo closed doors cultivation so the two of you can build your own immortal cave near mine and when I¡¯m done, I will inform the two of you," Mo Wuji agreed as he could feel the sincerity of both Abacus and Ku Ya. "Many thanks Brother Mo," Abacus and Ku Ya were both pleasantly surprised because Mo Wuji was held in very high regard in the Half Immortal Domain so as long as they were under him, they wouldn¡¯t have to worry about others finding troubles with them in the future. After sending Abacus and Ku Ya off, Mo Wuji started cultivating instantly. After detoxifying the toxin given by Gong Hou using his detoxification meridian, the spiritual energy that resulted from that was on an even higher level than the one produced by the spirit stone slags. After absorbing this newly found spiritual energy, Mo Wuji could feel his cultivation level soaring up immensely. In just two days, Mo Wuji was already at the intermediate stage of the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 5. This time round, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t use the spirit stone slags but grabbed tens of low grade immortal crystals instead. When these tens of immortal crystals were in his hands, the dense immortal spiritual energy and an indescribable dao spirituality could be felt from within the crystals which increased Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of cultivation to yet another level. Within five days, Mo Wuji advanced past the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 5 and broke into Level 6. After half a month, Mo Wuji advanced from the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 6 to Level 7. In just a short period of time, he managed to reach the advanced stage of the Earthly Immortal Stage by exhausting less than 200 immortal crystals. Yet another half a month passed and Mo Wuji stepped into the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 8. Towards the end, Mo Wuji had exhausted even more low grade immortal crystals but the thought of being thrifty with the immortal crystals never crossed his mind at all. Mo Wuji took out the remaining hundreds of immortal crystals as he continued to cultivate while absorbing the spiritual energy wildly. After Mo Wuji finished absorbing the spiritual energy from all 1000 immortal crystals, his cultivation level stagnated at the advanced stage of the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 9. In summary, Mo Wuji used 1000 low grade immortal crystals to advance from Earthly Immortal Stage Level 5 to Level 9 in three months. Mo Wuji stopped cultivating because he knew himself well. He knew that after absorbing higher grade spiritual energy to cultivate, the moment he switched back to absorb lower grade spiritual energy, his rate of cultivation would be reduced by many levels. Even though he had over hundred thousands of spirit stone slags left with him, he would need to cultivate for numerous years to advance from Earthly Immortal Stage Level 9 to Level 10 by using these spirit stone slags. For the immortal mortal technique that he created, what he needed was continuous supply of dense spiritual energy which grades had to be constantly increasing. At least up till now, he had yet to face any bottleneck while cultivating. Mo Wuji lifted the restrictions for his immortal cave as he sent out a message to Master Pu Zi and co. to let them know that he was ready to dig up some blackstones. It would naturally be more beneficial for him if more people joined him in his trip to the Mining Area of Death. Master Pu Zi and co. including Abacus and Ku Ya rushed over in the shortest possible time. Mo Wuji had already informed Master Pu Zi that he had allowed Abacus and Ku Ya to join his team so his guess was that the remaining members were also informed of the news. Whether it was Lou Chuanhe, the Tong brothers or Jia Qi, none of them were shocked to see the Abacus and Ku Ya standing alongside them. "My intention is to unearth more blackstones and after this trip, it remains unclear whether or not we will return to the Half Immortal Domain. Anyone else has anything to add?" Mo Wuji went straight to the point as he was planning to let Tong brothers, Abacus and Ku Ya know about his intention to go to the Immortal Chasm after the deal with Gong Hou. Master Pu Zi, Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi were already aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions so it would not appear as a surprise to them. The Tong brothers had been enjoying life in the Half Immortal Domain recently and was already full of admiration for Mo Wuji¡¯s strength and capabilities so they were both agreeable with his plan to unearth more blackstones. When Abacus and Ku Ya made their decision to join Mo Wuji and his team, they were already prepared to leave the Half Immortal Domain anytime. Therefore, everyone came to one common consensus very quickly. "Dao Friend Mo, are you going to pay a visit to the Dao Lord Mansion?" Master Pu Zi was not aware of the deal between Mo Wuji and Gong Hou so he always thought that the source of energy for the Immortal-Traversing Ship would be from Guang Quan. Mo Wuji laughed, "Master Pu Zi do not have to worry as I have already secured a steady source of energy for the ship. Everyone will know what I am talking about the next time someone from the Immortal Domain came over to transact. We will leave the Half Immortal Domain now." After listening to Mo Wuji¡¯s speech, Master Pu Zi and co.¡¯s spirits were suddenly lifted. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mention it specifically but everyone could tell that Mo Wuji had hooked up with people from the Immortal Domain for the source of energy for their Immortal-Traversing Ship. Mo Wuji stood up and just as he was preparing to leave the Half Immortal Domain, another voice could be heard from outside of his immortal cave, "Dao Friend Mo, I wonder if you have time to spare now? Dao Lord Guang Quan held a banquet and had specially invited you to join him as a guest." If Gong Hou hadn¡¯t warn him about Guang Quan, Mo Wuji would have agreed to pay a visit. However, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t want to visit the Dao Lord Mansion now because he had not even heard of the partial killing array which was installed at the Dao Lord Mansion. Even though Mo Wuji was confident in the quality of his array dao and cultivation, the partial killing array was something that originated from the Immortal Domain. This was why he certainly didn¡¯t want to risk his life entering something that even Gong Hou was fearful of. "I am no time to spare now. Oh yes, if Dao Lord Guang Quan has some time to spare, we could meet for a short while at the entrance of the Half Immortal Domain. Do let him know that I will be waiting for him at the entrance of the Half Immortal Domain for half an incense time," Mo Wuji answered directly. ¡­ In less than two minutes after Mo Wuji and co. arrived at the entrance of the Half Immortal Domain, Guang Quan¡¯s laughter could be heard, "Dao Friend Mo, because you have been cultivating behind closed doors and finally came out, old brother here wishes to invite you over to reminisce about the good old days. After all, we would still have to live together in the Half Immortal Domain for some time so it is better if we know each other better. I can give you some decent mining areas for you to set up your own team." Mo Wuji clasped his fists as he saw the smiling Guang Quan, "Dao Lord Guang is indeed very hospitable but I have to go somewhere now. When I am back, I will definitely visit Dao Lord again." "Alright, alright, I shall pray for Dao Friend Mo to have a smooth journey then. Oh yes, Alliance Head Meng was extremely guilty for what had happened previously so he had prepared a half immortal rock and was willing to return to Brother Mo first¡­" Guang Quan said with a smiling face. The raging fire in his heart couldn¡¯t wait to swallow Mo Wuji because he didn¡¯t even bother visiting the Dao Lord Mansion over the couple of years he had been behind closed doors. Guang Quan was frustrated because how was he supposed to take down Mo Wuji if Mo Wuji chose not to visit his Dao Lord Mansion? If he couldn¡¯t take down Mo Wuji, how was he supposed to retrieve Meng Tianyu¡¯s Heavenly Wooden Cane and Mo Wuji¡¯s method to repel the acute wood energy? How could Mo Wuji not know what Guang Quan was trying to do? He was clearly trying to get Mo Wuji to meet Meng Tianyu. If Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t met Gong Hou, Meng Tianyu¡¯s spirit stone slags would be the sole reason why Mo Wuji would pay a visit. However, Meng Tianyu¡¯s measly spirit stone slags really didn¡¯t mean much to Mo Wuji now. He would never let Meng Tianyu off easily but he really had more important things to do right now instead of meddling with Meng Tianyu and Guang Quan. "Then I will have to trouble Dao Lord Guang to help me relay this message. Help me tell him that I will come asking for my debt very soon so please start preparing the spirit stone slags," Mo Wuji finished what he wanted to say and without saying anything else to Guang Quan, he drew out his flying ship and left. Now that Mo Wuji left, Master Pu Zi and co. would naturally not stay any longer as they drew out their individual flying treasures to follow behind Mo Wuji. Guang Quan¡¯s face was so gloomy that water was about to drip from his eyes as he was contemplating if he should bring people out to stop Mo Wuji and kill him outside of the Half Immortal Domain. Guang Quan controlled himself from finding troubles with Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji was acting so wildly with no respect for him. If Guang Quan didn¡¯t want what Mo Wuji had on him, he would have already sent people to chase after him. He couldn¡¯t wait anymore. Guang Quan was resolute in his decision to kill Mo Wuji outside of the Half Immortal Domain and take what he yearned for. ¡­ A day later, Mo Wuji stopped in the periphery of the Mining Area of Death. Master Pu Zi and co.¡¯s flying ships came to a halt too as they walked out of their individual flying ship. "This is the Mining Area of Death?" Abacus and Ku Ya shouted shockingly. Mining Area of Death would represent imminent death the moment one entered it. Up till today, they had not heard of anyone who entered and came out alive. Mo Wuji answered, "That¡¯s right, this is indeed the Mining Area of Death and I¡¯ve decided to stay here for a few months to dig up blackstones. We will leave this place when it is time to transact with the Immortal Domain. Even though I have my ways to dig up blackstones, I understand that entering the Mining Area of Death is a dangerous thing to do so I wouldn¡¯t force the two of you if you are unwilling to come with us." "No, we are willing. Since we decided to join your team, we will not hesitate to follow you wherever you go," Abacus and Ku Ya said almost simultaneously. Mo Wuji nodded because he was extremely satisfied with this answer. He turned to the Tong brothers and said, "The two of you follow behind me and the rest of you walk by my side." Mo Wuji used his Scholar¡¯s Heart to form a shield as he walked endlessly into the depths of the Mining Area of Death. The Tong brothers have their own heart fire so it was definitely foolproof to have them behind. Chapter 434: Heavenly Immortal’s Lightning Tribulation Chapter 434: Heavenly Immortal¡¯s Lightning Tribulation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment he stepped into the Mining Area of Death, the sound of colourless leeches being burnt could constantly be heard from outside of his Scholar¡¯s Heart shield. Abacus and Ku Ya exchanged glances and could see the shock in each other¡¯s eyes the moment they understood what was going on. In the next moment, the two of them started celebrating in their heart that they made the decision to join Mo Wuji and his team. Since Mo Wuji could casually walk into the Mining Area of Death unharmed, there should be no place that he couldn¡¯t visit in the future and perhaps one day, he could even enter the Immortal Domain. Even though there were a lot of Earthly Immortal Stage cultivators in the Half Immortal Domain, most of them were simply digging for blackstones everyday of their life so they could exchange for spirit stone slags to survive. Everyone here knew that there wouldn¡¯t be any future staying in the Half Immortal Domain and they all wished that one day, they would be able to enter the Immortal Domain. "I found a place with three blackstones," After walking for over a couple of hours, Abacus finally sounded out excitedly. He knew that they were many blackstones in the Mining Area of Death but he didn¡¯t expect this extent of blackstones available for they had only been in here for a while. In this short period of time, he found three blackstones and they were only less than two metres deep underneath the ground. Tong Ye heard what Abacus said and laughed out loud, "Brother Abacus, if we were to stop and dig for three blackstones, I am afraid our Brother Mo would rather use this time to cultivate." "Ah¡­" Ku Ya and Abacus looked curiously at Mo Wuji because one shouldn¡¯t miss out on even one blackstone available right? They really didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind Tong Ye¡¯s words. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Dao Friend Tong Ye is right because even though we have a lot of manpower, we shouldn¡¯t waste our time digging up three blackstones." Noticing how Mo Wuji was really not interested in digging up the three blackstones, Abacus sighed and didn¡¯t continue saying anything. As he recalled how Mo Wuji was able to take out 200 blackstones in one shot previously, he guessed that Mo Wuji should have the ability to find large amount of blackstones. Following which, he found a few more blackstones and there was a time when he found six blackstones in one area but even so, he kept his thoughts to himself and didn¡¯t choose to say anything. Since Mo Wuji had the ability to find blackstones, he must have seen what Abacus saw and since Mo Wuji chose not to act, it would mean that the numbers were still not attractive enough for Mo Wuji. The truth that Abacus didn¡¯t know was that, without mentioning about the six blackstones, Mo Wuji had already found a few areas with over hundreds of blackstones within five metres of the ground but these were simply not lucrative enough for Mo Wuji to break a sweat for. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, since eight of them were going to dig simultaneously, he had to find a mine with over hundred thousand blackstones. The best scenario would be a mine with over a million blackstones, just like before. After a day of walking, just as Ku Ya and Abacus were wondering if Mo Wuji was even interested in digging, Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks. "Dao Friend Mo, found it?" Master Pu Zi was the first to ask. Mo Wuji nodded, " I will set up an array here and I predict we would be digging for about half a month because the amount of blackstones here was definitely not lesser than the previous time." Previously, they took over a year to dig up the blackstones because there were only Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi helping out. Presently, Mo Wuji had eight people in total including a top notched mining expert, the Tong brothers. "But there are no blackstones here? Unless they are below the three metres depth?" Ku Ya asked suspiciously because she was slightly stronger than Abacus in finding blackstones. She could even reach a distance of slightly more than three metres which was why she grew suspicious when Mo Wuji decided to stop here. Just as Mo Wuji started installing the array flags, he heard Ku Ya¡¯s question and answered, "Yes, the blackstones here are indeed a little deeper about five metres deep." As Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level increased, his spiritual will was capable of penetrating till about nine metres beneath the black soil. The blackstones were located in slightly more shallow soil as compared to previously. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s stronger spiritual will, the width of the area which he could sense increased which made him more confident that he could dig up even more than the previous time. Half a day later, Mo Wuji had already finished setting up a massive array. Under the guidance of Mo Wuji, the eight of them started digging blackstones and the result of their work was definitely not something one person could achieve in eight days. In just half a day, the five metres deep mine was completely dug out. Ku Ya and Abacus were completely dumbfounded at the sight of these closely packed blackstones. The number of blackstones in front of them was even more than a year worth of output from the Half Immortal Domain. Abacus glanced at Mo Wuji respectfully as he finally understood why Mo Wuji was not interested in the few scattered blackstones. If he was Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t waste time on the few blackstones that he found earlier on as well. More and more blackstones emerged from the ground as their speed of digging was getting increasingly greater. In just a few days time, the eight of them had already dug out almost 1,000,000 blackstones. ¡­ In a place which was about a thousand metres away from the Mining Area of Death, a flying ship came to a halt and a few people descended from it. The one leading them was the Dao Lord of the Half Immortal Domain, Guang Quan. The person beside him was not Meng Tianyu but the alliance head of the Vast Desert Alliance, Qian Yue. "Alliance Head Qian, if we continue moving forward, we would reach the Mining Area of Death. Could Mo Wuji and co. really be at the Mining Area of Death?" Guang Quan stared at the faraway Mining Area of Death and frowned. Qian Yue, who was standing beside him, shook his head, "That is impossible. Not to mention Mo Wuji, even experts from the Mining Area of Death wouldn¡¯t dare to casually enter the Mining Area of Death. Taking a step back, even if Mo Wuji has the ability to enter the Mining Area of Death, what about the rest of them?" " This person is indeed very tricky. Initially, I thought he would definitely look for me but he didn¡¯t even bother to appear at my Dao Lord Mansion. Could he have seen through my traps?" There was a trace of helplessness in Guang Quan¡¯s voice. "There is still the possibility that he could have hooked up with Gong Hou. Once he is hooked up with Gong Hou, there is no need for him to visit the Dao Lord Mansion at all," Qian Yue said. Guang Quan fell silent and said after pondering for a moment, "Brother Qian, what you¡¯ve said could be true but if Hong Fuji was killed by Mo Wuji, Abacus and Ku Ya wouldn¡¯t be beside Mo Wuji. Gong Hou could have killed Hong Fuji and wanted Mo Wuji to replace him. Even so, Mo Wuji would still have came to find me because I am confident that Gong Hou would not offer him too many spirit stone slags for his blackstones. From Mo Wuji¡¯s encounter with Meng Tianyu previously, Guang Quan knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s appetite would definitely not be satisfied with a few hundred thousand spirit stones. Since he was able to detoxify the acute wood energy to cultivate here, it would only be natural that he yearned for even more spirit stone slags." "Brother Guang, there is another breakthrough. Didn¡¯t Mo Wuji arrive at the Half Immortal Domain with two other cultivators from Zhen Xing? We could perhaps find out about Mo Wuji¡¯s whereabouts via the two of them, Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao," Qian Yue replied. Guang Quan nodded, "That¡¯s right, Mo Wuji also had huge animosity with Cang Xue which means that Cang Xue could be a clue too. Let¡¯s go, instead of waiting down here meaninglessly, we might as well do as you say and find these people. We have already been searching for a few months now, I am afraid we wouldn¡¯t find anything substantial here if we continue doing so." The moment Guang Quan finished speaking, thunder could be heard and lightnings landed in a faraway place shortly after. "Someone is undergoing the heavenly tribulation!" Guang Quan and Qian Yue exchanged glances as they saw each other¡¯s fearful eyes. How many years had it been? It had been way too many years since someone underwent a heavenly tribulation in the Half Immortal Domain. According to his agreement with the Immortal Domain, other than transacting blackstones, he needed to report the names of cultivators who are capable of undergoing lightning tribulation here to the Immortal Domain. "Let¡¯s go and take a look," Guang Quan said without any shreds of hesitation and sent out a message while speaking. ¡­ "What, someone is undergoing the heavenly tribulation here?" Mo Wuji and co. witnessed the lightnings descending from the Mining Area of Death as Master Pu Zi exclaimed surprisingly. Mo Wuji immediately thought of the Half Moon Prison and wondered if this cultivator, who just underwent the lightning tribulation, would be brought to the Immortal Domain and then imprisoned in the Half Moon Prison. "To be able to undergo his lightning tribulation here, that person must be a really talented expert. However, the one I respect the most is still Dao Friend Mo because we have only been here for a few months and yet we managed to dig up tens of millions of blackstones. I would have never believe someone if they tell me this was actually possible," Abacus said as he dug up 100 blackstones at one go. Everyone else around him had similar thoughts as him. Average cultivators would usually find only one or two blackstones at one go and it was extremely rare for someone to find over a hundred blackstones in one trip, let alone thousands or millions. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s findings were in millions and there was this instant where he actually found a mine with over 5,000,000 blackstones. The only difference was that the most shallow blackstone which Mo Wuji found was at least five metres deep. It seemed like most blackstones could be found deep underneath the soil and not on the surface. Half a day later, just as the faraway lightning tribulation ended, the communication bead that Mo Wuji hung on his waist lighted up. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan through before saying, "It has only been half a year and Gong Hou sent me a message already?" "Did he say he is coming over now?" Tong Cheng asked immediately. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, he said he has reached and told me to prepare the blackstones to meet him now." "He should be here for that cultivator who just underwent the lightning tribulation. The people of the Immortal Domain came for that man and exchanging for the blackstones is simply a secondary purpose," Tong Cheng answered. "How do they find out about it?" Jia Qi asked subconsciously. Tong Cheng smiled coldly and said, "Naturally someone from the Half Immortal Domain must have told them. Everytime someone underwent a lightning tribulation here, people from the Immortal Domain will know of it immediately. I¡¯ve heard from Master Po Qin that nothing good would happen to those who are brought to the Immortal Domain after advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage." "Why? Isn¡¯t everyone extremely eager to go to the Immortal Domain?" Ku Ya added. Tong Cheng shook his head, "I have no clue too but I trust Master Po Qin¡¯s words." Mo Wuji said in a solemn tone, "Master Po Qin is right, those that were brought to the Immortal Domain were all imprisoned." Chapter 435: The Exchange for Immortal Crystals Chapter 435: The Exchange for Immortal Crystals Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ah¡­" Even Tong Cheng looked towards Mo Wuji this time round. Mo Wuji decided to tell everyone the truth because he had already formed deep friendship with them after digging together for a few months. After all, they would all be fighting alongside him should anything happen to them in the future. "Previously, I saw a prison in space which was called the Half Moon Prison. The Half Moon Prison should be a magic treasure of the Immortal Realm and this Half Moon Prison is full of genius cultivators who had just advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage¡­" "Brother Mo, are you talking about the Half Moon Immortal Palace?" Lou Chuanhe asked in a hurry. Mo Wuji replied, "That¡¯s right, it is indeed the Half Moon Immortal Palace. However, the truth was that it is indeed a prison and it belongs to the Immortal Domain. It appeared in space because a genius expert tried to escape from it and by killing the prison warden, it caused the prison to end up wandering in space." Everyone fell silent as they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Everyone capable of standing here was the very best in their own planets and could even be considered as the peak experts. However, they would be the weakest among everyone else once they were brought into the Immortal Domain. They would be so insignificant that a single pinch from someone there would be enough to kill them. "Dao Friend Mo, so do we stop digging for blackstones temporarily?" Master Pu Zi broke the silence as he asked Mo Wuji. To Master Pu Zi, even though blackstones were important, the most important should be exchanging for enough spirit stone slags. Their only hope of getting out of this hell hole would be dependent on the number of spirit stone slags they were able to exchange for. There was no point in staying here because so what if they could undergo the lightning tribulation someday? Wouldn¡¯t they be brought to the prison in the Immortal Realm too? Everyone looked at Mo Wuji as he answered, "Since we have been digging for quite some time now and because I would consider us to be close friends, I¡¯ve decided to let you all know what my plans for the future will be. However, there is something I must say before telling everyone my plan. Once you¡¯ve heard my plans for us, you will no longer be able to leave the team. Those who wants to quit can sound out now and I will send you off personally." Nobody sounded out anything because only four people: Tong brothers, Abacus and Ku Ya were still not aware of the plan. However, they had already grew incredible admiration for Mo Wuji and after joining him, they had never suffered and were able to dig up almost hundred of thousands blackstones every single day so why would they want to quit? Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Since everyone is agreeable, I will speak directly. I own a battleship and this battleship could bring us to the Immortal Domain which was why I decided that after exchanging for low grade immortal crystals with Gong Hou, we will head straight to the Immortal Chasm and then Immortal Domain. Of course, there is also the possibility that we could fail to traverse the Immortal Chasm and be stuck within it forever. I am sure there is no need for me to state how dangerous the Immortal Chasm is and I would say the possibility of success is about 50%." "Ah¡­ Dao Friend Mo¡­" Tong brothers heard this and was both shocked and pleased because even if there was only a 10% chance of success, they would agree without any shreds of hesitation. What was the point of staying in the Half Immortal Domain meaninglessly? They were unable to cultivate and had to worry about the acute wood energy every single day which was why they had enough of such life where living was tougher than being dead. Think about it: If a cultivator is unable to cultivate or improve, what is the difference between a cultivator and a walking dead? Abacus and Ku Ya replied immediately without thinking too much into it, "Brother Mo, we would agree even if the chances of success is 10%, let alone 50%." The Tong brothers did not even bother asking whether this battleship was forged by Dao Lord Wu You because to them, the origin of the battleship didn¡¯t matter to them as long as it was able to bring them across the Immortal Chasm. Mo Wuji could even sense blackstones which were eight to nine metres underground so it really wasn¡¯t too surprising that he could get himself a battleship that could traverse the Immortal Chasm. "Dao Friend Mo, ever since we decided to join your team, we vowed to always follow your lead and furthermore, we are pretty sure that we would be living a much more enjoyable life even if we are stuck in the Immortal Chasm compared to being in the Half Immortal Domain," Tong Cheng and Tong Ye expressed their opinions out loud. Even though he had an idea that everyone would agree, Mo Wuji still felt an indescribable happiness when he received everyone¡¯s confirmation, "Since this is the case, we shall talk about crossing the Immortal Chasm after we received the low grade immortal crystals." "Low grade immortal crystals?" Master Pu Zi hurried to ask because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t specifically talk about the details of the transaction with Gong Hou. Mo Wuji explained, "I am exchanging blackstones for low grade immortal crystals instead of spirit stone slags because I am afraid that spirit stone slags might not be able to support the battleship in crossing the Immortal Chasm because of its lower grade as compared to the immortal crystals." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s explanation, everyone couldn¡¯t be any happier. Master Pu Zi heaved a sigh of relief too because even though he said that the spirit stone slags were able to drive the battleship, he was still fearful that there was still the possibility that spirit stone slags alone wouldn¡¯t be sufficient. Having insufficient power to drive the ship would be the most heart wrenching way to fall in the Immortal Chasm. Mo Wuji continued, "This time round, we have dug up close to 30 million blackstones which was definitely more than what the Immortal Domain had received before. We would definitely not be exchanging this many blackstones so after the exchange, we will split the blackstones equally among us. Anyone has any objections?" "Brother Mo, you are the one who brought us here, got hold of the battleship and even the one found the blackstones. All we did was to exhaust some of our energy which in other words, means that even if you didn¡¯t bring us here and brought any random person, you would be able still be able to obtain these blackstones. And to put things into perspective, even if we were to dig for a few months in Mining Area A, we would never be able to dig out more than 1000 blackstones without your guidance. We have no use for this small amount of blackstones and it wouldn¡¯t even be enough for us to purchase a ship ticket to the Immortal Domain so I suggest Brother Mo take full control of all the blackstones," The most unlikely person to comment, Ku Ya, was actually the one who took the initiative to express her opinions. Mo Wuji regarded Ku Ya as a very capable person because even though she won¡¯t talk much, she was smart and attentive as she could understand things very quickly. Lou Chuanhe followed to say, "I have no use for the blackstones too so I would rather leave it with Brother Mo too." After Ku Ya and Lou Chuanhe started the ball rolling, everyone else agreed with Ku Ya¡¯s opinion. Master Pu Zi and co. had been working with Mo Wuji for the longest among all of them so they understood Mo Wuji¡¯s character well. They knew that even though they rejected the blackstones, Mo Wuji would never swallow these blackstones for his own personal interests. However, Ku Ya was right because other than the Tong brothers, who among them would be capable of obtaining over ten thousand blackstones? Mo Wuji waited for everyone else to express their opinions before clasping his fists and said, "I do have an idea. Because we all have no clue what a blackstone could truly be used for, I shall keep it with me first. After we reach the Immortal Domain, we would definitely die earlier if we were to fight on our own. I was once the Sect Head of Tian Ji Sect so after we reach the Immortal Domain, I will rebuild the Tian Ji Sect there and of course, those who are not willing to join the Tian Ji Sect can take their fair share of the blackstones and leave." "I agree," Ku Ya was the one who spoke up again as she really thought that this was the best possible way to handle the blackstones and their future in the Immortal Domain. Everyone else agreed one after the other because for Earthly Immortals like them who sneaked into the Immortal Domain, they would indeed die faster if they didn¡¯t group up together. Previously, Lou Chuanhe was wondering why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t talk about setting up the Star King Mountain but because Tian Ji Sect was also one of the top sects in Zhen Xing with a much longer history, even Lou Chuanhe stood out to concur as well. "Great, we will finish digging the blackstones here and then leave the Mining Area of Death immediately," Mo Wuji said instantaneously. ¡­ Gong Hou started to frown because it had already been three full days since he sent out the message and Mo Wuji had yet to arrive. If not for the fact that he hadn¡¯t found the cultivator that underwent the lightning tribulation, he would have return to the Immortal Domain. He stood up and decided to wait for another couple of hours and he wouldn¡¯t be polite for any longer if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t arrive by then. Just as he stood up, the shadow of a flying ship appeared within his spiritual will. Gong Hou nodded as this Mo Wuji was indeed an interesting person because if he were to hide in the Half Immortal Domain to avoid him, he would be courting his own death. Mo Wuji landed and kept his flying car before cupping his fist towards Gong Hou, "Dao Friend Gong, because we were pretty far apart, I came over the moment I received your message but I believe I was still a little late. I hope Dao Friend Gong do forgive me." In actuality, after Mo Wuji received the message, he spent half a day to finish clearing the mine before coming over at his own pace. Gong Hou remained emotionless and said faintly, "How many blackstones did you prepare?" Mo Wuji revealed a slight smile and said, "I have more than enough blackstones but I wonder how many immortal crystals have Dao Friend Gong prepared?" Despite knowing that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t dare to lie to him, his heart still started beating fast when he heard that Mo Wuji had prepared more than enough blackstones. He predicted that Mo Wuji should not be able to have accumulated 100,000 blackstones but since he dared to say something like that, he shouldn¡¯t be too far off that amount. Even if Mo Wuji had half of the agreed amount, Gong Hou would still be striking rich. "There are 3,000,000 immortal crystals here and if you have prepared more than 100,000 blackstones, all these are yours to keep," Gong Hou took out a storage ring and started waving it at Mo Wuji. "I required the help of hundreds of people to spend a large amount of their time and effort to dig up this amount of blackstones so could Dao Friend Gong let me have a look at the storage ring?" Mo Wuji asked calmly even though his heart was incredibly excited. With 3,000,000 immortal crystals in his hands, it would mean that he could finally ignite the battleship. As he was afraid that Gong Hou might grew suspicious, Mo Wuji added, "Dao Friend Gong, please do not worry because what I gave them in return was the spirit stone slags and I will definitely not reveal these immortal crystals." Gong Hou furrowed his brows as he felt that Mo Wuji was a little too presumptuous. However, he retracted this thought immediately as Mo Wuji was just like an ant in front of him so even if he tried to run away with the storage ring, Gong Hou could easily get it back from him. Mo Wuji should be the one worrying that Gong Hou might scam him as 100,000 blackstones was definitely not a small figure. "For you," Gong Hou extended his arm and passed the storage ring to Mo Wuji and simultaneously, there were ripples around him so that as long as Mo Wuji started acted strangely, he would kill him without hesitation. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will scanned through the storage ring and it was indeed a pile of immortal crystals which amounted to about 3,000,000 of them. Mo Wuji transferred this pile of immortal crystals into his own storage ring and sent out 100,000 blackstones into the storage ring before throwing it back to Gong Hou. This series of actions by Mo Wuji resulted in Gong Hou staring blankly at him. Following which, Gong Hou instantly used his spiritual will to scan through the storage ring and his eyes lit up ecstatically. There were indeed exactly 100,000 blackstones inside waiting for him. Chapter 436: The Only Heavenly Immortal In Half Immortal Domain Chapter 436: The Only Heavenly Immortal In Half Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations 100,000 blackstones, it¡¯s really 100,000 blackstones. Gong Hou grabbed the storage ring agitatedly, only calming down after some time. The moment he calmed down, Gong Hou immediately thought: If Mo Wuji was able to take out 100,000 blackstones, then would he have more on him? How was he able to excavate so many blackstones in half a year? As he thought of this, Gong Hou¡¯s spiritual will had already landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring. To his surprise, he found that his spiritual will was unable to even penetrate into Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring. The moment Gong Hou¡¯s spiritual will landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring, Mo Wuji was able to feel it. As expected, this fella really wanted to search his storage ring. "Dao Friend Mo, do you have any more blackstones on you?" Gong Hou kept the storage ring, reverting back to his calm appearance. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "I do have some blackstones left. Does Dao Friend Gong still have any more low grade immortal crystals?" Gong Hou was naturally unable to take out any more low grade immortal crystals. Moreover, the ones that he gave Mo Wuji was not his alone, but the accumulated fortune of many people. After hesitating for half a day, Gong Hou decided to give up on his idea of stealing Mo Wuji¡¯s blackstones. It wasn¡¯t because he wasn¡¯t certain that he would fail, but because doing so would be killing the golden goose. If he stole Mo Wuji¡¯s blackstones, who else would be able to provide so many blackstones at a single go? Blackstones were a huge profitable business; Gong Hou was extremely clear of this fact. If Gong Hou knew that Mo Wuji still had over a 1,000,000 blackstones, no matter how calm he was, he would not hesitate to charge forward and snatch them away. However, since Mo Wuji dared to engage in business with Gong Hou alone, he was naturally not afraid of his blackstones being stolen. Don¡¯t simply look at Gong Hou being in the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Now, Mo Wuji was in Earthly Immortal Stage Level 9, he was capable of getting rid of this fella. "Since that¡¯s the case, I will be leaving first. Next time, I will bring more immortal crystals. Remember to prepare more blackstones." Before Gong Hou left, he gave these instructions to Mo Wuji. He wanted to prolong his deal with Mo Wuji, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t steal Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring. Mo Wuji completely disregarded Gong hou¡¯s words. He had only planned for his trade to be a one-time thing. Now that he had obtained 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals, his next step was to cross the Immortal Chasm and enter the Immortal Domain. After Gong Hou left in the distance, Mo Wuji immediately took out his flying treasure. At this instant, a figure flashed across his spiritual will, jumping towards him. Mo Wuji did not move; he knew that this was not an ambush. "Bang!" That black figure sailed past him, landing on the floor with a thud. It was an injured cultivator. That cultivator soon picked himself up and swallowed some healing pills. He even clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, before he sat down to begin his recovery. This cultivator looked like a young teen. He was riddled with injuries; he had big eyes and thick eyebrows; his skin was slightly black and his face looked young and tender. What astounded Mo Wuji was, this person¡¯s cultivation seemed to have exceeded the Earthly Immortal Stage, and had reached the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji soon came to a realisation; this fella was the Heavenly Immortal cultivator from Half Moon Prison that succeeded in his tribulation not long ago. A Heavenly Immortal that just succeeded his tribulation; besides him, there was no one else in Half Immortal Domain that could injure this Heavenly Immortal to such a heavy degree right? To be able to heavily injure this Heavenly Immortal, where he even had to descend from mid air, clearly was an act done by an expert from the Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji was just thinking that he should be nosy when this youth suddenly stood up. Even though his injuries were still very heavy, he did not continue to heal himself; it should be because he knew that this place wasn¡¯t safe. "This big brother, I¡¯m called Kou Yuan. Just now, I was being pursued, which was why I accidentally landed here." The moment this youth stood up, he clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said. "No worries. I don¡¯t own this place. You can do whatever you want." This youth looked simple and honest, and even had a higher cultivation. However, he called Mo Wuji a "big brother". It should be related to his young and tender appearance. Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t underestimate Kou Yuan because of his tender appearance. According to the information he obtained in Half Moon Prison, he knew that those who could advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage in Half Immortal Domain were practically those who were young. This was why they were so outstanding. "May I ask how do I address this friend?" Seeing that Mo Wuji did not say his name, Kou Yuan took the initiative to ask. Even though he didn¡¯t know of Kou Yuan¡¯s intentions, Mo Wuji did not mind. He simply replied, "I¡¯m called Mo Wuji." "You are Mo Wuji? The Mo Wuji who handled Hong Fuji and Meng Tianyu?" Kou Yuan repeated in surprise. He knew that he would not be spared. This, he wanted to pass the news that the Immortal Domain was hunting those that passed their Heavenly Immortal Tribulation on to someone, so that this person could spread the news to the rest of Half Immortal Domain. He never expected that the person he casually found would be Mo Wuji. He had always been cultivating behind closed doors, so he had never met Mo Wuji. However, he had heard of Mo Wuji¡¯s notorious name multiple times. This was a dauntless newbie, an expert that didn¡¯t even put the Dao Lord in his eyes. "You¡¯ve met me before?" Mo Wuji looked at Kou Yuan doubtfully. As long as he encountered a person once, he would form an impression of the person. However, towards Kou Yuan, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to recall the slightest of impressions. Kou Yuan hurriedly said, "I¡¯ve never met Brother Mo before. But who in Half Immortal Domain hasn¡¯t heard of Brother Mo¡¯s illustrious name? I have only heard of you." "You were pursued by the people from the Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on the injury on Kou Yuan¡¯s waist. Kou Yuan reacted, and said hurriedly, "Yes, Brother Mo. You should hurry out of here. I guess that they would be catching up very soon. At the same time, help me spread a message to the rest of Half Immortal Domain. Tell the cultivators of the Half Immortal Domain¡­" "That nothing good would happen to those that ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Stage while in Half Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji completed Kou Yuan¡¯s sentence. "..." Kou Yuan stared at Mo Wuji in aghast. "Brother Mo, how did you know?" Mo Wuji smiled faintly. He extended his hand towards his flying treasure, "Dao Friend Kou, hop on. We¡¯ll continue after we leave this place." Kou Yuan subconsciously boarded Mo Wuji¡¯s flying treasure. Mo Wuji had already started the acceleration and they sped out of the area. "Brother Mo, you haven¡¯t answered me. How did you know about it?" On the flying ship, Kou Yuan asked once more. "I¡¯ve been to the prison where the Immortal Domain imprisons the geniuses from the Half Immortal Domain¡­" Now that they had escaped, Mo Wuji directly revealed the matter of him going to Half Moon Prison to Kou Yuan. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Kou Yuan started to mutter to himself, "So it was indeed like this. I felt that there was something amiss with them. They said they wanted to bring me to the Immortal Domain to pursue the dao, but they didn¡¯t allow me to handle some private matters that I had here¡­" As he said this, Kou Yuan suddenly seemed to recall something. He hurriedly changed the topic, "Brother Mo, hurry and let me off. Now that I¡¯ve advanced to become a Heavenly Immortal, I will be easily discovered. They seem to have some way of tracking Heavenly Immortal cultivators." Mo Wuji waved his hands, "Don¡¯t worry. They wouldn¡¯t be able to discover you with the restrictions on my flying ship. The place that I¡¯m bringing you will also be restricted with magical arrays, so they wouldn¡¯t be able to discover you there. I have some people with me, we¡¯re preparing to go to the Immortal Domain, Brother Kou, are you interested? If you¡¯re interested, we can go together." Kou Yuan looked rather simple and honest. But more importantly, he was the only Heavenly Immortal in Half Immortal Domain. "Crossing the Immortal Chasm? Brother Mo, I know that you are very strong. Perhaps you¡¯re no worse than me, but crossing the Immortal Chasm is too absurd. The Immortal Chasm definitely could not be traversed by the lights of us. Moreover, within the Immortal Chasm¡­" Before Kou Yuan could finish his words, Mo Wuji extended his hand and stopped Kou Yuan from speaking, "Dao Friend Kou Yuan, my decision to cross the Immortal Chasm is firm. Since you¡¯re unwilling, then there¡¯s no need to talk any further. Where do you want to go? I will first take you there." Kou Yuan was instantly startled. Where could he go? Now that he had advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, there was truly no where he could go in the Half Immortal Domain. After some time, Kou Yuan sighed and said, "Brother Mo, I¡¯m willing to follow you to traverse the Immortal Chasm. Rather than living in constant fear, I would rather venture out. Dying in the Immortal Chasm is multiple times better than being locked in that prison." He had already thought things through. After advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, even if he didn¡¯t die in Half Immortal Domain, he would be constantly tormented. Mo Wuji was able to rise to the top within Half Immortal Domain, yet he still wanted to cross the Immortal Chasm. So what did he, Kou Yuan, have to hesitate for? ¡­ "You are Kou Yuan?" When Mo Wuji brought Kou Yuan back to their gathering place, Abacus immediately recognised him. "Abacus? Senior sister Ku Ya?" Kou Yuan was also able to recognise Abacus and Ku Ya. A look of astonishment emerged on his face. He had engaged in underground trade with Lord Axe before. Naturally, he knew Abacus and Ku Ya. "Kou Yuan, welcome to the team. Lord Axe had been killed by a person from the Immortal Domain. Now, we¡¯re with Brother Mo and we¡¯re preparing to cross the Immortal Chasm. If I¡¯m not wrong, you should be the person that succeeded in the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation right?" Abacus patted Kou Yuan¡¯s shoulder and said smilingly. Kou Yuan nodded, "That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. Now, the people from the Immortal Domain are pursuing me." No one found Kou Yuan¡¯s words out of the ordinary. Mo Wuji had already explained the situation of the Half Moon Prison to them. Everyone here knew that the Half Immortal Domain was merely a mine for the Immortal Domain. The reason why the Half Immortal Domain was still tied to the Immortal Domain was merely because of the blackstones here. Abacus said to Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Kou Yuan is very young. Those years ago, we already knew that his potential was staggering. Lord Axe previously tried to pull Dao Friend Kou Yuan to our side, but Dao Friend Kou Yuan wanted to focus on his cultivation, so he didn¡¯t join us." Mo Wuji then introduced the rest of the party to Kou Yuan. Just when he was prepared to install the cannons onto the Immortal-Traversing Ship, Tong Cheng suddenly said, "Dao Friend Mo, when you were trading with Gong Hou, an earth cramp happened." Mo Wuji stared at Tong Cheng quizzically. Earth cramp, this was his first time hearing such a fresh and peculiar term. Master Pu Zi stood up and explained, "Dao Friend Mo, Dao Friend Tong is saying that there were spasms in the earth, and¡­" "Earthquake?" Before Master Pu Zi could finish, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. Something like earthquakes was very ordinary ah. There¡¯s no need to talk about the vast and expansive Half Immortal Domain, even Earth experienced earthquakes. "No, Dao Friend Mo, you¡¯re misunderstanding me. I¡¯m not talking about earthquakes, but cramps." Tong Cheng¡¯s face turned serious. "What¡¯s exactly going on?" Mo Wuji frowned. He also didn¡¯t think that Tong Cheng would be so serious just because of an earthquake. Chapter 437: Traversing The Immortal Chasm Chapter 437: Traversing The Immortal Chasm Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tong Cheng explained, "This is not the first time that Tong Ye and I experienced this sort of earth cramp. But when we were in the Mining Area of Death, we experienced it several times. Every time the earth spasms, it¡¯s as though it¡¯s alive. It¡¯s definitely not like though rumbling within the earth like earthquakes." Tong Ye supplemented from the side, "It¡¯s like time. I feel that every time we excavate large amounts of blackstone, such a phenomena will happen." Mo Wuji wanted to ask further questions, when suddenly the ground beneath his feet started shaking. It was exactly as Tong Cheng said, it seemed like a cramp. Everyone calmed down; Mo Wuji stared at the trembling surface and finally understood why Tong Cheng would use the word ¡®cramp¡¯. This sort of spasms was indeed like a cramp. It was even like what Tong Ye mentioned, like there were hints of life. Mo Wuji possessed the vitality channel, so he was more sensitive to life force compared to the rest. Could the Half Immortal Domain be alive? When Mo Wuji thought of this, he suddenly felt goosebumps over his body. The spasms continued for roughly a minute before it stopped gradually. Nothing peculiar happened to the surroundings; it looked just like the usual black soil. Everyone glanced at each other; no one spoke a word. After some time, Mo Wuji said solemnly, "No matter what the Half Immortal Domain is, or what this sort of trembling is, it¡¯s not something that we can discern with our current level of power. We should leave this place as soon as possible. Now, I¡¯m going to take out the battleship. Master Pu Zi, help install the cannons." When Mo Wuji finished, he directly fetched out the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Those that had yet to see the Immortal-Traversing Ship, such as the Tong brothers, Abacus and co., all exhaled a breath of cold air. It wasn¡¯t that the Immortal-Traversing Ship was very huge, but it seemed to possess a sort of oppressive and valiant aura, causing people to shake in fear. "This is¡­" Kou Yuan was also dumbfounded. He could naturally tell that this Immortal-Traversing Ship of Mo Wuji¡¯s was not ordinary. "This is the Immortal-Traversing Ship that we¡¯re going to use to traverse the Immortal Chasm. How is it?" Abacus already regained his countenance; he elatedly patted Kou Yuan¡¯s shoulder and said. Even though Kou Yuan might look simple and honest, to be able to pat a Heavenly Immortal on the shoulder and teach him something had left Abacus a little satisfied. "Impressive, impressive¡­" Kou Yuan was continuously singing praises. It was unknown whether he was directing them to Mo Wuji, or the Immortal-Traversing Ship. When Mo Wuji fetched out the few giant cannons, Kou Yuan started to sigh with more emotions. Fortunately, he had accepted Mo Wuji¡¯s invitation. "Brother Mo, many thanks." Kou Yuan bowed towards Mo Wuji. Previously, he thought that Mo Wuji had invited him because Mo Wuji wanted to borrow his power. But now, he came to an understanding. The help that Mo Wuji would be providing was far more than what his power could provide. It should be because Mo Wuji pitied him for advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage in Half Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji also patted Kou Yuan¡¯s shoulder, "Dao Friend Kou, by the time we reach the Immortal Chasm, we would still need your help. We all need to work together, then we can traverse the Immortal Chasm." Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of Kou Yuan. Kou Yuan was modest in his words and actions, to put simply, Kou Yuan had a good upbringing. Mo Wuji could tell that Kou Yuan¡¯s modesty was his character. It wasn¡¯t a facade like many other cultivators. Seeing Master Pu Zi and Mo Wuji install the tens of giant cannons, the others started to get very excited. Those giant cannons looked very impressive; when they got to the Immortal Chasm, these cannons would definitely be very useful. Mo Wuji looked at everyone¡¯s expressions and knew that they were misunderstanding the situation. He hurriedly said, "Everyone, even though this Immortal-Traversing Ship is not bad, and the giant cannons are amazing, we only have around 50 cannon ammunition. That¡¯s not even enough for each giant cannon to have 2 ammunition. Thus, when we¡¯re crossing the Immortal Chasm, we have to try out best to save the ammunition." When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, a trace of disappointment emerged on everyone¡¯s faces. Mo Wuji was also rather awkward. He had actually wasted this sort of top grade cannon ammunitions just to deal with some ants. After installing the cannons, everyone boarded the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Mo Wuji was the cannon, he was in charge of controlling the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Ku Ya was designated as the vice-captain, she was in charge of coordinating the combat power. Even though there were many people more experienced that Ku Ya, Mo Wuji viewed Ku Ya more favourably. During the half a year that they were digging together, Ku Ya¡¯s foresight was definitely top notch. After Mo Wuji sent 1,000,000 low grade immortal crystals into the energy tank, Master Pu Zi activated the defensive array of the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Everyone had their own roles; Master Pu Zi¡¯s role was to maintain the ship¡¯s defensive arrays. The importance of this role was second only to Mo Wuji¡¯s role. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on the control panel of the battleship. He extended his hand and pulled the activating lever. With a beam of white light, the battleship whizzed into the air. Mo Wuji soon felt the impressiveness of the battleship. Even though it was not a flying treasure, this battleship¡¯s speed was even faster than a flying treasure. Not only that, it was much more stable than a flying treasure. "So fast," Tong Ye could not help but exclaim. Tong Ye snorted, "You think that the efforts of ten peak grade smiths were useless? Back when Dao Lord Wu You was still around, Half Immortal Domain was a flourishing place. Including Master Pu Zi, there were 9 other master smiths from the various planets in the universe, and almost all of them were the top smiths of their planets. Even the experts from the Immortal Domain might not be able to forge a battleship of this caliber." As Lou Chuanhe felt the speed of the battleship, he felt many emotions in his heart. When Mo Wuji first came into the space canyon, he was able to come up with a method to leave in a short period of time. For him and the rest, they had stayed in the space canyon for countless of years but they weren¡¯t able to find a way out. After Mo Wuji came into Half Immortal Domain, he was also able to find a method to leave in just a few years. How many years have those other experts stayed in Half Immortal Domain? Even though Dao Lord Wu You was able to find a method to leave, he still fell short in the end. Even though it was due to Mo Wuji¡¯s luck that he managed to obtain Dao Lord Wu You¡¯s battleship, then why didn¡¯t they have this sort of luck? Sometimes, luck was also considered a power. As he thought about Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao who came together with him, Lou Chuanhe sighed. He guessed that Mo Wuji took him away, wasn¡¯t merely because he was the Star Lord of Star King Mountain. It was also because when Fang Qi was killed, he was the only one who stood forward. However, Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao did not step forward to help. Clearly, Mo Wuji was a person who valued relations. Otherwise, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t have just left them behind in Half Immortal Domain. In merely half a day, a vast and endless gull appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji was experienced and knowledgeable, he still could not help but be transfixed by the vastness of this gull. He subconsciously slowed down the speed of the Immortal-Traversing Ship. As he entered this gull, he would be leaving the boundaries of Half Immortal Domain. It looked as though the Half Immortal Domain had been sliced apart by a sharp knife. The edge of the gull was an incomparably straight line. Thereafter, it led to unfathomable deepness. The gull looked interminable. It was clearly empty space, but it did not give off the impression of empty space, but an inextricable abyss. The opposite shore of the gull could not be seen; the depths could not be seen, nor could the boundaries of the gull be seen. Within that vast gull, there were only constantly rolling clouds, obscuring and hazy. It gave people a sort of intense palpitation and a sense of oppression in their hearts. Facing this sort of gull, anyone would feel small. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was reverberating in shock. After seeing this gull, he finally understood what was the true Immortal Chasm. "This is the Immortal Chasm. There were people who tried to cross it before, but no one had ever succeeded. It¡¯s simply a pipedream if you wanted to fly over this place with a simple flying treasure," Master Pu Zi said coldly. He had come to the fringes of the Immortal Chasm before; he was more clear of it than the average person. "Boom!" The battleship had already charged into the Immortal Chasm. An intense sense of oppression filled all of their hearts. "The battleship has already entered the Immortal Chasm. Everyone, prepare for battle¡­" Just as Mo Wuji said this sentence, a loud sound resounded and the entire battleship started shaking. Following which, Mo Wuji could no longer see anything; everything had been shrouded something like a black cloud. Not only that, his spiritual will was unable to be released. "Hurry and use the cannons, it should be the Colourless Leech¡­" Not just Mo Wuji, the others also had their visions and spiritual wills obscured. Their eyes were only filled with pitch black. Only Master Pu Zi made a judgement at this instant as he cried out urgently. He had forgotten that the person in charge of coordinating the combat power wasn¡¯t him, but Ku ya. The Immortal-Traversing Ship started to tremble more violently, seeming as though it might descend into the unfathomable depths of the Immortal Chasm at any moment. Everyone¡¯s heart sank. Even though they had steeled their mentalities before entering the Immortal Chasm, they never thought that they would be immediately surrounded by terrifying Colourless Leeches the moment they entered the Immortal-Traversing Shup. In a place like the Immortal Chasm, if you encountered the encirclement of Colourless Leeches, then even if your cultivation was any higher, you would not be able to fight. Unless you dared to leave the defensive arrays of the Immortal-Traversing Ship to battle the Colourless Leeches? "If it¡¯s really Colourless Leeches, then the cannons would also be useless," Tong Cheng said seriously. Even though Master Pu Zi called for the fire of the cannons, those controlling the cannons didn¡¯t do anything. For one, they didn¡¯t know whether this was the right time to fire the cannons. Secondly, the one in charge of directing the battle was Ku Ya, and Ku Ya hadn¡¯t spoken. Master Pu Zi calmed down. He knew why he was the most anxious here, because he was the only one that knew how terrifying these Colourless Leeches are. When compared with these Colourless Leeches, those in the Mining Area of Death were simply bugs. Mo Wuji opened his spiritual eye. Soon, he discovered that the things surrounding his Immortal-Traversing Ship weren¡¯t Colourless Leeches, but a sort of bug egg. "Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious, these things definitely aren¡¯t Colourless Leeches. Back in the Mining Area of Death, I¡¯ve made my observations and I have a rough understanding of the movements of Colourless Leeches. I¡¯m not able to see what these things are, we have to wait for Brother Mo¡¯s judgement." Ku Ya still didn¡¯t direct everyone to fire the cannons, but calmly explained the situation. Opening fire might seem simple, but they only had a few cannon ammunitions. Moreover, firing the cannons might not fully solve the problem. Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t express any dissent. He also felt that he had made the wrong judgement; these weren¡¯t Colourless Leeches. Moreover, Ku Ya was not wrong. Firing the cannons would not be able to solve the problem. Now, the outside of the battleship was filled with these things, firing the cannons would be useless. Chapter 438: Falling Out Chapter 438: Falling Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was only able to open his spiritual eye for a few seconds before experiencing a huge startle. In that instant, he understood why these bug eggs would cluster and throw themselves onto his battleship; it was because the battleship was emanating spiritual energy, which was why these bug eggs surged over in the truckloads. Some of the bug eggs had already started to hatch; that sharp mouth and fire red body, together with those thickly dotted legs, coupled with the strong Yin energy permeating through the air, these were Yin Fire Centipedes. Shrill and sharp sounds could be heard. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank; these Yin Fire Centipedes had just broken out of their shells but they could actually start gnawing at the exterior of the ship. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on the exterior of the ship; indeed, there were faint scars. Moreover, these were newly born Yin Fire Centipedes. If these centipedes continued to grow, and with so many of them¡­ Mo Wuji did not dare think any further. He was sure that if the battleship was chewed apart, none of them would be able to survive. "Dao Friend Tong Cheng, control the ship. I will go out to eliminate those things." Mo Wuji promptly made this decision. "Dao Friend Mo, you definitely can¡¯t do that. These things aren¡¯t Colourless Leeches. I suspect that they are the eggs of Yin Fire Centipedes¡­." Master Pu Zi said immediately. "Be it Yin Fire Centipedes or their eggs, fire wouldn¡¯t be able to solve the problem." Not only did Yin Fire Centipedes like Yin energy, they also liked fire. This was a contradiction [1], but the Yin Fire Centipede was a living example of such a contradiction. Mo Wuji had a clearer view than Master Pu Zi. He said calmly, "If I don¡¯t go out, then none of us would survive. Master Pu Zi is right, these are indeed Yin Fire Centipede eggs. I discovered that these Yin Fire Centipede eggs have latched onto our battleship because of our spiritual energy. Soon, they will hatch, and those Yin Fire Centipedes that hatch from their eggs are able to bite through the exterior of our battleship. If our exterior defenses gets bitten through, then we would all die." Mo Wuji¡¯s words caused everyone to turn silent. They had all heard of the horrors of the Yin Fire Centipede, but they had never encountered one before. By the side, Tong Cheng said calmly, "Dao Friend Mo, Master Pu Zi is right. If these are really Yin Fire Centipedes, then fire definitely wouldn¡¯t be solve the problem. Yin Fire Centipedes are fire-type demonic beasts, fire might even be able to make them stronger." Mo Wuji nodded, "I know. But everyone should know that my fire isn¡¯t ordinary fire. Moreover, even if Yin Fire Centipedes do not fear fire, that should be referring to the mature Yin Fire Centipedes. These are merely the larvae and the eggs. I don¡¯t believe that I wouldn¡¯t be able to destroy some eggs." With that, Mo Wuji directly pulled this ship¡¯s lever. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, even if these Yin Fire Centipede eggs did not fear fire, he would still use fire to burn them to death. After all, these were just eggs. It was just like eating when you¡¯re hungry; eating a bowl of rice would be able to raise your energy. But if you were to stuff in more food then your stomach could handle, then you would also die of overeating. Moreover, was the Scholar¡¯s Heart an ordinary fire? It was a heavenly fire. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t know any water-type or ice-type skills. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t need to use the Scholar¡¯s Heart to deal with these fire-type bug eggs. "Kacha!" With a light sound, Mo Wuji had already stepped out of the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Countless of bug eggs had already thrown themselves into his armour made of Scholar¡¯s Heart flames. Fluttering sounds could be heard from his Scholar¡¯s Heart defenses. No matter how many bug eggs there were, when they landed on the green defenses, they were turned into ash. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief; his Scholar¡¯s Heart was indeed able to deal with these bug eggs. In a short breath of time, there weren¡¯t any bug eggs around Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji placed both his hands on the exterior of the battleship; his Scholar¡¯s Heart flames came surging out like waves. These flames soon formed rings after rings of fire around the battleship. "Puuu!" The Immortal-Traversing Ship instantly stabilised. Soon, grey hazy space appeared in front of the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Countless of bug eggs were turned to ash under the Scholar¡¯s Heart. The air currents in the air violently crashed against Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji could feel waves of pressure. Before Mo Wuji could return to the battleship, a shrill cry sounded through the air. After which, a black figure which was tens of meters long pounced towards Mo Wuji. This was a Yin Fire Centipede? Mo Wuji extended his hand, Tian Ji Pole appeared in his palm. The Yin Fire Centipede was multi-coloured. It had a total of hundreds of sharp claws, and its mouth was filled with dirty green teeth, causing people¡¯s hearts to turn cold. "Swosh!" Before that huge Yin Fire Centipede reached Mo Wuji, 10 searing fire blades raced towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji opened both his palms, also shooting out 10 lightning swords. "Boom!" The lightning swords clashed against the fire blades, exploding flowers of lightning and fire. A strong wave of energy swept over. If he wasn''t leaning against the Immortal-Traversing Ship, Mo Wuji suspected that he would have been sent flying. Seeing that its 10 fire blades were rendered useless, the Yin Fire Centipede swept it''s giant tail towards Mo Wuji''s waist, and at the same time, opened its mouth and bit towards Mo Wuji''s head. This was Mo Wuji''s first time seeing a centipede that could attack with both its head and tail simultaneously. In merely an instant, the Yin Fire Centipede''s face had already approached Mo Wuji. That noxious smell coming from its huge mouth left Mo Wuji slightly nauseous. Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole transformed into a huge shadow, breaking through space as it moved towards the Yin Fire Centipede''s skull. At the same time, he formed a lightning sword which was even thicker than this Yin Fire Centipede and hurled it towards the centipede''s abdomen. Just when Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole was about to strike the Yin Fire Centipede''s skull, Mo Wuji suddenly felt a sense of impending doom. His heart tightened as he did not hesitate to teleport away. He even gave up on attacking the Yin Fire Centipede. "Boom!" A black radiant blade directly shredded Mo Wuji''s afterimage. Mo Wuji opened his spiritual eye; an indistinct centipede merged into the Yin Fire Centipede, disappearing. That centipede''s size and length was exactly the same as the Yin Fire Centipede. Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air. If he hadn''t fled early, even with his spatial teleportation, he would have died. At this instant, he finally understood how the Yin Fire Centipede got its name. It wasn''t because the Yin Fire Centipede liked Yin energy and flames. It was because the Yin Fire Centipede had a separate body, and this separate body was a centipede made of Yin energy. That meant that the Yin Fire Centipede had two souls; one was the Yin Centipede, the other was the Yang Centipede. If a person wasn''t clear about the characteristics of the Yin Fire Centipede, he would very likely perish under the hands of the Yin Fire Centipede. A violent, ripping force could be felt. Because of that battle, the Immortal-Traversing Ship had already left Mo Wuji far behind. An intense suction force could be felt from the bottom of the Immortal Chasm, causing Mo Wuji to be unable to stand firmly in mid air. Waves of pressure continued to sweep out from the Immortal Chasm. This only made it clearer to Mo Wuji that he had to return to the battleship as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be able to last for long. The Yin Fire Centipede could never imagine that Mo Wuji was able to suddenly avert its killer move. It immediately went into a rage as its huge body pounced towards Mo Wuji once again. Similarly, Mo Wuji was bursting with killing intent. He had almost been killed by a centipede, how could he not be angry? At almost the same time the Yin Fire Centipede came over, Mo Wuji also charged towards the Yin Fire Centipede. However, before he even reached the Yin Fire Centipede, he raised both his hands. Mo Wuji had used his own killer move - Spatial Imprisonment. At that instant, the Yin Fire Centipede had been locked in space. Mo Wuji could even see with his spiritual eye that half of the Yin Centipede had emerged from the Yang Centipede. If it was a few instants later, the Yin Centipede and the Yang Centipede could have attacked him simultaneously. How could Mo Wuji give the Yin Fire Centipede such an opportunity; the moment he imprisoned the Yin Fire Centipede, his Tian Ji Pole burst forth with elemental energy towards the Yin Fire Centipede''s head. "Pui!" A stream of green fluid burst out. The Yin Fire Centipede let out an aggrieved roar, plunging towards the bottom of the Immortal Chasm. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He needed to hurry back to the Immortal-Traversing Ship, otherwise, he would end up like this Yin Fire Centipede. There were countless of dangers in the Immortal Chasm, the Yin Fire Centipede was just one of the billion. Just this one in a billion, had almost already taken his life. ¡­ On the Immortal-Traversing Ship. When they saw Mo Wuji burn the Yin Fire Centipede eggs, everyone celebrated. However, the terrifying Yin Fire Centipede came charging over, and soon, Mo Wuji disappeared from the surroundings. "I''m no longer able to discern Dao Friend Mo¡¯s location. I don''t even know where he is," Tong Cheng said solemnly. Everyone glanced towards one another, then cast their eyes towards Master Pu Zi. The idea to traverse the Immortal Chasm was Mo Wuji''s, this ship was Mo Wuji''s, but now, Mo Wuji wasn''t here. "Master Pu Zi, what should we do?" Jia Qi asked urgently. Master Pu Zi walked to the edge of the ship, and looked at the clouds whistling past. After a long moment of silence, "Dao Friend Mo was unlucky; that Yin Fire Centipede was at least 50 to 55 meters long, that''s equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal cultivator. Moreover, I heard that the Yin Fire Centipede had some secret attack method. Even though I''m not sure, but¡­" Master Pu Zi did not finish his words but everyone understood what he was implying. [1] This is because Fire is Yang in nature. Chapter 439: Cannot Be Saved Chapter 439: Cannot Be Saved Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Lou Chuanhe stood up; he clasped his fists towards Master Pu Zi and said, "No matter what happens to Junior Mo, I suggest that we return and search for him. If not for Junior Mo, we would not even have the chance to come to this place." Master Pu Zi went silent. He knew that the moment the Immortal-Traversing Ship turned back, they would be placing themselves in more than multiple times the danger. The atmosphere within the ship got a little stifled; everyone seemed to be waiting for Master Pu Zi to make a decision. After a whole ten breaths of time, Master Pu Zi still hadn''t made a decision. A trace of disappointment flashed across Lou Chuanhe''s eyes, he immediately said, "Since that''s the case, then please allow me to leave the Immortal-Traversing Ship. I want to go and look for Junior Mo." Master Pu Zi inhaled a deep breath of air, his gaze swept across everyone, he solemnly said, "Everyone, I''m unable to make this decision. Everyone should know, if we turn the ship back, it''s very possible that we will plunge ourselves back into boundless Yin Fire Centipede eggs. Moreover, there''s one point that I haven''t mentioned. There''s many unstable elements within the Immortal Chasm. If our battleship flashes by, those elements might not even appear. But if we return, it''s hard to say, because our battleship would have already alerted those things when we first passed by." As he said this, Master Pu Zi paused briefly, "That''s why, I suggest that we decide this based on votes. Those who are willing to return to find Dao Friend Mo, raise your hands. Those who are unwilling, don''t do anything." Lou Chuanhe was the first to raise his hand up. What surprised him was that the second person was Ku Ya. The third to raise his hand up was Kou Yuan. As he raised his hand, he also said, "I believe that if any of us here were to fall outside, Dao Friend Mo would definitely return. Moreover, Dao Friend Mo had only fallen outside to save the battleship. If everyone doesn''t agree, I''m willing to leave the battleship together with Senior Lou to find Dao Friend Mo." "I agree with Brother Kou''s words." Abacus, Tong Ye and Jia Qi simultaneously raised their hands and said. "I also agree that we should return," Tong Cheng said faintly. Master Pu Zi also raised his hand and said, "Alright, then what are we waiting for. Dao Friend Tong Cheng, immediately turn the ship back. We will only stop when we find Dao Friend Mo." ¡­ After an incense''s time, Mo Wuji''s heart had already sank. He felt his elemental energy depleting at an increasing rate. However, he still could not see the shadow of the Immortal-Traversing Ship. At this place, not only did he have to maintain his Scholar¡¯s Heart as defenses, he also needed to control his body to prevent it from plummeting down. The only reason why he could persist for so long was because he had three elemental storage channels. If it was someone else, he would have long plummeted to the unknown depths of this Immortal Chasm. However, he couldn¡¯t carry on like this. If he couldn¡¯t find the battleship he could only temporarily return back to Half Immortal Domain. Even though the likelihoods of him dying on his way back to Half Immortal Domain was incredibly high, Mo Wuji knew that he had no other option. Just when Mo Wuji made this decision, a grey thing which was a little over a meter rushed towards Mo Wuji. A pungent odour came. Mo Wuji¡¯s mind went slightly drowsy as he immediately activated his detoxification channel to sweep the energy away. This thing was poisonous? Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding. He hurriedly retreated. This was a huge grey spider; there was some multi-coloured mist circling around the spider. Mo Wuji instantly recognised that it was; it was the Immortal Domain¡¯s Gui Water Spider [1]. Mo Wuji was rather speechless; he had barely spent half a day within the Immortal Chasm but he had already seen the Yin Fire Centipede and the Gui Water Spide. As for those invisible Colourless Leeches, he might have already encountered countless of them. When the Gui Water Spider noticed Mo Wuji retreating, it began to charge forward with fewer restraints. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities had been severely affected, he would not be bullied by a simple Gui Water Spider that was less than 2 meters long. Before this Gui Water Spider reached him, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed. That multi-coloured venomous water brushed past him, and thereafter, Mo Wuji raised his hand and shot out multiple lightning swords. These lightning swords directly pierced through the Gui Water Spider. Exploding a few columns of foul water, his lightning swords sent this Gui Water Spider into the depths of the Immortal Chasm. Mo Wuji did not even have the time to heave a sigh of relief before he heard waves of "Chi Chi" sounds resounding behind him. He slowly turned his head, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his head started to go numb. Thousands upon thousands of Gui Water Spiders rushed towards him. He could only imagine, if he was encircled by so many Gui Water Spiders, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape even if he had three heads and six limbs. If this was anywhere else, he could use the boundless lightning sword skill. But here, what could he use? Moreover, these Gui Water Spiders were roughly equivalent to an Earthly Immortal. Some of the bigger Gui Water Spiders were even more terrifying than Earthly immortals. "Run!" Mo Wuji immediately gave up on his idea to return to Half Immortal Domain. These Gui Water Spiders had already blocked his path back, so what could he do? Mo Wuji changed his direction. A slight breeze picked up beside him and he activated his Wind Escape Technique to the max. His entire body seemed to move like wispy cloud as he entered the depths of the Immortal Chasm. In half an incense¡¯s time, the Immortal-Traversing Ship appeared. "It¡¯s a horde of Gui Water Spiders¡­" Standing at the front of the ship, Master Pu Zi and Tong Cheng exhaled a breath of cold air. Dense numbers of Gui Water Spiders came rushing towards them. "Hurry, fire the cannons. Use the earthing cannons¡­" At the very first instant, Ku Ya uttered the orders. Tong Ye, who was controlling the earthing cannons, did not hesitate to fire the huge cannon in his hands. "Boom!" A beam of radiant yellow light shot out from the Immortal-Traversing Ship. At almost the same instant it was fired, it struck the Gui Water Spider horde. A yellow column, which seemed to contain the power to explode a planet, rose. Thousands upon thousands of the Gui Water Spider had been shredded into pieces. Layers of multi-coloured mist formed on the Immortal Chasm. "So impressive¡­" Everyone exhaled a breath of cold air. They never thought that the cannons on the Immortal-Traversing Ship would be so powerful. Just one shot of the cannon was able to turn those countless amounts of Gui Water Spiders into mists of water. How could it be so impressive? Master Pu Zi said, "Of course it¡¯s impressive. Those years ago, Dao Lord Wu You had personally come to the Immortal Chasm. He had conducted an in depth research on the terrifying things that exist within this chasm. It was exactly because of this, that Dao Lord Wu You create these various kinds of cannon fires. The earthing cannon was the most suitable to deal with Gui Water Spiders. However, if you used the earthing cannon against Void Toads, then even a 100 of shots wouldn¡¯t be useful. With the same logic, if you used the heavenly fire cannon against the Gui Water Spiders, it wouldn''t be useless. This is the logic of opposites within the five elements." "Everyone look¡­" Tong Cheng suddenly pointed at the huge monitor screen on the battleship. The screen showed dense hordes of things swarming over, just like a black cloud moving towards them. "It¡¯s Gui Water Spider, how many of them are there?" Abacus exhaled a breath of cold air. Master Pu Zi sighed, "Let¡¯s return then. Going on any further wouldn¡¯t have any meaning." No one said anything; everyone was clear that Master Pu Zi was speaking the truth. Facing such a terrifying number of Gui Water Spider, even if there had copious amounts of earthing cannons, it would be useless. Moreover, they only had two earthing cannons. After firing one, they only had one earthing cannon ammunition left. This time, even Lou Chuanhe didn¡¯t say a word. He knew that it wasn¡¯t that Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t want to save Mo Wuji, but there was truly no other means. If the Immortal-Traversing Ship were to continue to charge forward, it would only be placing everyone in danger. Moreover, with such concentrated numbers of Gui Water Spiders, even if Mo Wuji was any more impressive, he would probably have perished. The Immortal-Traversing Ship turned back, fleeing at the fastest speed possible. That horde of Gui Water Spiders seemed to know that the Immortal-Traversing Ship had killed many of their comrades. Thus, they didn¡¯t give up and chased the Immortal-Traversing Ship relentlessly. ¡­ At this instant, against expectations, Mo Wuji was completely calm. He knew that this was the only path he could take. In this place, there was no way he could return. He could only push on. As he thought of this, he grabbed a cloth bag and tied it to his body. At the same time, he filled it with low grade immortal crystals. Out of his 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals, he had placed over 2,000,000 of them on the Immortal-Traversing Ship. He still had roughly 500,000 to 600,000 on him. Luckily, he still had these crystals. Otherwise, even if he had any more elemental energy, it would be depleted. He needed to constantly replenish his elemental energy, and these immortal crystals were his source of energy. In this sort of place, he could not take out his flying treasure. Using a flying treasure might only be placing himself in further danger, and he might even be using much more elemental energy. [1] Gui is also related to Yin. Chapter 440: The Unforeseen Situation In Half Immortal Domain Chapter 440: The Unforeseen Situation In Half Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Outside Half Immortal Domain. At this instant, there were at least thousands of cultivators here. There were even more of them streaming out. Most of them had downcast expressions on their faces; there were others who had blank expressions. Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao were within the crowd. Even though their faces were calm, it was obvious from the expressions in their eyes that their hearts were far from calm. Including Bian Shuangbi, all the cultivators standing here were staring in the same direction - towards the Mining Area of Death. Even though the Mining Area of Death was quite a distance away from here, the constant rumbling sounds from there were like heavy hammers striking against their heads. "Brother Qu, you''re back?" Bian Shuangbi clasped his fists as he saw a cultivator with a saber on his back walk over. This person was Qu Yang, an expert from the Absolute Saber Sect. Previously, he was trapped with Bian Shuangbi and co. within the space canyon for thousands of years. It was also because of Mo Wuji, that he came to Half Immortal Domain. After arriving to Half Immortal Domain, all of them went to join some groups to excavate for blackstone. Only Qu Yang didn''t join any group, but chose to cultivate by himself. His cultivation trip took several years; he only returned now. It was also unknown how he managed to deal with the acute wood energy. "Greetings Brother Bian, Brother Mu. The place I was had already collapsed, so I had to return." Qu Yang also clasped his fists. After these years of training, his sharpness had become more reserved. Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao only nodded their heads. Thereafter, they turned to face the rumbles, seemingly not in the mood for conversation. "When I returned, the Mining Area of Death had already collapsed to become something like the Immortal Chasm. Moreover, the collapse is moving towards here. In that collapsed space, there were even many kinds of unknown bugs and Colourless Leeches." Qu Yang''s tone was calm, seemingly explaining the situation to Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao. Bian Shuangbi sighed, and didn''t say anything. In the space canyon, they only had enough space to fit their own asses. If not for the fact that they were supreme experts, they would have depressed to death. But now, they''ve only been in Half Immortal Domain for a short period of time, and this sort of thing happens? "Where''s Dao Friend Mo and Dao Friend Lou?" Not being able to spot Mo Wuji and Lou Chuanhe, Qu Yang asked. Mu Yingqiao replied, "Because of a certain incident, Dao Friend Mo and Dao Friend Lou have a misunderstanding with us. However, Dao Friend Qu doesn''t need to worry about them; Dao Friend Mo¡¯s cultivation is exceedingly high. Here, probably no one would be able to cause trouble for him. Qu Yang nodded. Back when they were in the space canyon, he already knew that Mo Wuji was not ordinary. "I think I know where they went." Another voice sounded beside their ears. "Dao Friend Mang Hai." When Bian Shuangbi saw the oncoming person, he hurriedly clasped his fists and greeted. Back when they were on the space canyon, Mang Hai was one of the neutral cultivators. He did not help Wolf King Mountain, Gu Nuo, nor Zhen Xing. "Dao Friend Mang, where did Dao Friend Mo go?" Qu Yang asked hurriedly. Mang Hai sighed and said, "If I''m not wrong, they should have been preparing to cross the Immortal Chasm. By now, they should already be in the Immortal Chasm." "Ah¡­" Mang Hai¡¯s words left the rest glancing towards one another. Cross the Immortal Chasm? After some time, Qu Yang finally said, "Dao Friend Mo truly isn''t ordinary. No place is able to trap him. It seems like he already knew that there would be a problem here, which was why he left first. Dao Friend Mang, do you know how Dao Friend Mo attempted to cross the Immortal Chasm?" Mang Hai sighed once more, "It''s a huge battleship; outside the battleship, there were even various kinds of cannons. I happened to be on the edge of the Immortal Chasm and I managed to see everything with my spiritual will. Thereafter, the battleship disappeared into the Immortal Chasm. The person standing right at the front of the battleship, seemed to be Dao Friend Mo." "Brother Qu, you said that there will be a problem here? What''s the problem?" Mu Yingqiao suddenly asked. Qu Yang said solemnly, "If I''m not wrong, the Half Immortal Domain might completely collapse, and become a part of the Immortal Chasm." "That''s impossible¡­" Mu Yingqiao cried out in alarm. "This place has already been here for countless of years. Why would it suddenly collapse just when we arrived?" Qu Yang shook his head and didn''t utter another word; he didn''t need to convince Mu Yingqiao. Bian Shuangbi looked into the distance; it was unknown what was on his mind. "Ah, Dao Friend Mo is also too much. We were all from the same space canyon, but when he left, he didn''t call all of us." Even though Mang Hai said this, he was sighing in his heart. He knew the reason, and he couldn''t change anything now. "I was too selfish. We can''t blame Dao Friend Mo," Bian Shuangbi finally said. "What happened?" Qu Yang asked. Bian Shuangbi continued, "Those years ago, Fang Qi was bullied and oppressed Cang Xue, and he was eventually killed. Lou Chuanhe was infuriated, and tried to stand up for Fang Qi. As a result, he was heavily injured by Meng Tianyu. Brother Mu and I didn¡¯t do anything, and Brother Mu even joined Meng Tianyu¡¯s Immortal Seeking Union." Qu Yang frowned momentarily. Fang Qi had come together with them, but when he was killed, Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao actually didn¡¯t stand up for him. When Lou Chuanhe did that and was heavily injured as a result, these two didn¡¯t even do anything. This Mu Yingqiao even joined Meng Tianyu¡¯s group; this was indeed too much. If he was here, he would definitely have stood up for Fang Qi and Lou Chuanhe. Dao Friend Mo Wuji was a person who did not stand injustice. Since such a thing had happened, he naturally wouldn¡¯t inform Bian Shuangbi and co. when he left. "What happened next?" Qu Yang continued asking. "Afterwards, Mo Wuji came out of his closed doors. He battled Meng Tianyu, and he even snatched away Meng Tianyu¡¯s magic treasure. Because of this, the Immortal Seeking Union started to decline. And because of their fear for Mo Wuji, Cang Xue and Black Fox left Half Immortal Domain and had yet to return," Bian Shuangbi explained. "Good, truly a true man." After saying that sentence, Qu Yang didn¡¯t add anything further. His character was rather similar to Mo Wuji; he felt slight disgust towards Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao¡¯s self-preserving actions. Right at this instant, a man in purple robes suddenly stepped into mid air, he clasped his fists to the crowds of cultivators and said, "Various dao friends, the Mining Area of Death is collapsing. Perhaps everyone still doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on. Let me tell everyone, it¡¯s because we have excavated too many blackstones, causing the Half Immortal Domain to collapse." Hearing this explanation, murmurs began to sound throughout the crowd. The purple robed man continued, "Everyone, don¡¯t underestimate this matter. I believe that everyone here has heard of the Immortal Chasm? That¡¯s right, the collapsed area in the Mining Area of Death has already formed a small-scale Immortal Chasm. Perhaps, not long later, this collapsed area would join with the Immortal Chasm." As they heard these words, most of the people in the crowd exhaled breaths of cold air. Even though no one started to hyperventilate or storm off in agitation, the atmosphere outside Half Immortal Domain had become heavier. The purple robed man waited for the crowd to calm down slightly before he continued, "What¡¯s within the Immortal Chasm? I believe that I don¡¯t have to say it for everyone to understand. Once you enter, the chances of surviving are infinitesimally slim. Perhaps everyone might think: Let¡¯s simply not go to the collapsed part of the Mining Area of Death in the future. However, this is useless thinking. This collapse had been caused by our excavation of blackstone. Now, it¡¯s the Mining Area of Death. After some time, it would be Mining Area A, then Mining Area B¡­ Eventually, one day, it might be our Half Immortal Domain¡­" The entire crowd descended into silence; the heavy atmosphere permeated throughout the entire area. No one spoke. Even though the words of the purple robed man had already entered some of their minds, the moment it was actually uttered still struck a deep sense of shock and anxiety in their hearts. Even though there was acute wood energy, the Half Immortal Domain was still a liveable place. But if the Half Immortal Domain were to become the Immortal Chasm, where would they go? "Alliance Head Jiao, what do you suggest we do?" Someone in the crowd asked. Many of them recognised the purple robed man; he was the alliance head of the Sword Qi Flatland - Jiao Ye. Jiao Ye¡¯s gaze swept across the crowd. His voice slowed down, "Various dao friends, Dao Lord Guang and the various heads are sending the experts from Immortal Domain off, and they have yet to return. I will say some words right now. I believe that we should leave Half Immortal Domain¡­" Hearing Jiao Ye¡¯s words, murmurs of discussion sounded out within the crowd again. Leave Half Immortal Domain? It sounded good, but how were they supposed to leave? If it was possible to leave Half Immortal Domain, then everyone would have done it ages ago. Jiao Ye raised his hands to quell the discussions. He spoke solemnly, "I know what everyone¡¯s saying. How are we going to leave Half Immortal Domain? If we could leave, everyone would have left a long time ago? Isn¡¯t that right? It doesn¡¯t matter how we leave; let me first explain about the Immortal Chasm. There¡¯s only one way out of Half Immortal Domain, that is the Immortal Chasm. But I dare confirm, if we enter the Immortal Chasm, out of 10 of us, 9 would probably die while only 1 survives. It could even be possible for all 10 to die." All the cultivators calmed down; everyone was considering what they could do. Jiao Ye continued, "But, we cannot not leave. Who knows when our current location would become part of the Immortal Chasm? It might one year, 10 years, or even 100 years. But there¡¯s one thing that I¡¯m sure of, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be more than 1,000 years. In reality, there had been someone who had already left Half Immortal Domain¡­" "Who is it?" Immediately, someone blurted. Jiao Ye said solemnly, "I believe everyone knows this person. It¡¯s a cultivator who came not too long ago. His name is Mo Wuji. It¡¯s unknown how this Dao Friend Mo managed to get his hands on a battleship, but with this battleship, he brought the people around him into the Immortal Chasm." "Could it be the battleship that Dao Lord Wu You was forging?" Some of the older cultivators immediately recalled the matter of Dao Lord Wu You forging a battleship. Even though this matter was not widely known, after something happened to Wu You, some of them managed to obtain that bit of news. Jiao Ye shook his head, "I¡¯m not too sure about that. I have always been filled with admiration towards Dao Friend Mo. Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t befriend him sooner." No one went along with his words. Everyone knew of Mo Wuji¡¯s conflict with Dao Lord Guang Quan and Meng Tianyu. These words of Jiao Ye were equivalent to opposing Dao Lord Guang Quan. Jiao Ye continued coldly, "Many of you may not know of this other news that I wish to share. Not too long ago, one of us in Half Immortal Domain succeeded in his Heavenly Immortal Tribulation. After he succeeded, he was invited into Immortal Domain." As Jiao Ye said this, envy emerged in the eyes of many of the cultivators. He continued with a tone of contempt, "But you know what happened in the end?" "Dao Lord Guang has returned." Before Jiao Ye could finish, someone interrupted him. Chapter 441: Danger In The Immortal Chasm Chapter 441: Danger In The Immortal Chasm Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment this cultivator¡¯s words ended, Guang Quan, Meng Tianyu and Qian Yue landed at the entrance of Half Immortal Domain. Everyone could tell that they had an unpleasant complexion on all their faces. "Why¡¯s everyone gathering out here?" Even though he knew the answer to his question, Guang Quan still asked it. A sharp mouthed cultivator hurriedly walked to the front and said respectfully, "Answering the Dao Lord. Alliance Head Jiao believes that the Half Immortal Domain would soon collapse and become a part of the Immortal Chasm. Thus, he¡¯s gathering all the cultivators to discuss how we can leave Half Immortal Domain." When Guang Quan heard these words, his gaze coldly swept towards Jiao Ye. Jiao Ye remained standing in mid air. His expression was calm, completely disregarding Meng Tianyu¡¯s return. However, because Guang Quan had returned, he did not continue speaking any further. Qu Yang suddenly stood forward and clasped his fists towards Jiao Ye, "Dao Friend Jiao, please continue speaking." Jiao Ye nodded but he didn¡¯t say anything. On the other hand, Meng Tianyu snorted coldly, "When did the newbies in Half Immortal Domain become so arrogant?" Qu Yang¡¯s gaze landed on Meng Tianyu, and he asked indifferently, "Who are you?" "I am Meng Tianyu, the union head of Immortal Seeking Union," Meng Tianyu said disdainfully. Even though he didn¡¯t have his Heavenly Wood Cane, he would not fear a newbie. He did not believe that every newbie would be as abnormal as Mo Wuji. "So you¡¯re Meng Tianyu. You¡¯re the one who killed Fang Qi?" As Qu Yang was speaking these words, he had already took a step forward, the saber behind him started reverberating, "Meng Tianyu, today, I, Qu Yang, challenge you to a battle. If you have the guts, come forward." Even though Fang Qi wasn¡¯t killed by him, how could Meng Tianyu endure this blatant challenge by a newbie? He did not hesitate to step forward as well. Guang Quan blocked Meng Tianyu, then he clasped his fists to the crowd as he said, "Various dao friends, we are facing a critical moment. I hope that everyone can work together to deal with this external threat." Then, he turned towards Jiao Ye, "Alliance Head Jiao did not seem to finish his words just now. There¡¯s no need to care about me. Alliance Head Jiao, please carry on. Even though I¡¯m the Dao Lord of Half Immortal Domain, I¡¯m at the same level as everyone of you." When Qu Yang saw that Guang Quan had blocked Meng Tianyu, he did not continue with his provocation. Instead, like the rest of the crowd, he turned to face Jiao Ye. Jiao Ye clasped his fists towards Guang Quan, then continued, "Previously, the dao friend who succeeded in his Heavenly Immortal Tribulation in Half Immortal Domain was called Kou Yuan. After he succeeded, people from Immortal Domain arrived. On the surface, they were extending an invitation to Dao Friend Kou Yuan towards Immortal Domain. However, in reality, they were harbouring ill intentions. Even though I don¡¯t know why they want to bring away the cultivators who succeed in their tribulations, I know that it¡¯s definitely nothing good. Dao Friend Kou was able to see through their ruse and escaped. As a result, he was pursued by them, and his current whereabouts are still unknown¡­" Instantly, the crowd went a frenzy of noise. Many of them already had some ideas, but when it was explicitly stated by Jiao Ye, it still felt like a huge nuclear bomb had dropped down on them. To the cultivators of Half Immortal Domain, the only way they could get to the Immortal Domain, was to work hard to cultivate to become a Heavenly Immortal. Even though the chances of succeeding were slim, there was still some hope. But when they heard Jiao Ye¡¯s words, how could they be able to take it down? "Dao Lord Guang, is this true?" Immediately, one person stood forward and asked Guang Quan. Previously, Guang Quan had always been the one hosting the people from Immortal Domain. Guang Quan said silently, "Dao Friend Jiao¡¯s words are true. Actually, I also just got wind of it. This time, I had specially come to discuss this matter with everyone." Only Qian Yue and Meng Tianyu knew that these words were a lie; they had known on this matter a long time ago. The reason why they were helping the Immortal Domain to handle matters here in Half Immortal Domain was because they had obtained the promise that they would be able to enter the Immortal Domain eventually. However, after part of the Half Immortal Domain collapsed and joined the Immortal Chasm, the cultivators from the Immortal Domain suddenly departed. Furthermore, they had left in a hurry, and more importantly, without them. This had let them understand that they had been played the whole time. In reality, Guang Quan and co. were overthinking things. The Immortal Domain did not have the intentions to give up on them. Honestly, it wouldn¡¯t be very hard to allow a few cultivators from Half Immortal Domain to come to the Immortal Domain. It was actually because the collapse was too terrifying. These Heavenly Immortal experts from Immortal Domain were afraid that the collapse would have affected their transfer array, and that they would no longer be able to return to the Immortal Domain. Because of this worry, these Heavenly Immortal cultivators didn¡¯t care about the ideas that would run through Guang Quan and co.¡¯s mind, as they hurried back to the transfer array. This was also why they were so half-hearted in their responses when Guang Quan and co. asked when they could leave Half Immortal Domain. Many people could tell that Guang Quan was lying. However, no one could care about Guang Quan now; they were all anxiously thinking how they could leave Half Immortal Domain. "Various dao friends, I do have an idea." Jiao Ye¡¯s words were able to calm the crowds down. After the crowds calmed down, Jiao ye continued, "Dao Lord Guang Quan should know the rough direction to the transfer array towards Immortal Domain. I suggest that we find the exact position of the transfer array, then use it to leave this place." "It¡¯s useless. The transfer array probably uses high-grade immortal crystals. we don¡¯t have that. Also, that array needs to be opened on the other side first before we can enter from this end," Qian Yue sighed and said. "Boom! Boom!" The alarming sound of the collapse reverberated through the air. The crowd instantly descended into complete silence as they stared in the direction of the collapse. One of the cultivators finally couldn¡¯t take it. He took out his flying ship and shouted, "Even if I¡¯m going to die, I¡¯m going to try my luck at the Immortal Chasm." With someone leading the way, many others started to take out their flying treasures and charged towards the Immortal Chasm. .... The immortal crystals were being depleted at a rapid rate. Mo Wuji was continuously using his reverse circulation technique to stabilise his body, preventing himself from falling into the depths of the Immortal Chasm. However, the suction force from the Immortal Chasm continued to get stronger and stronger. Mo Wuji was crystal clear, the deeper he went within the Immortal Chasm, the lower his hopes of escaping. Eventually, he might end up in a place like the space canyon, with no paths out. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t any dangers at the deeper regions of the Immortal Chasm. If there were dangers, then he wouldn¡¯t even have a chance of escaping. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji brought out a bottle of Elemental Restoration Pills and swallowed the pills down; his 107 meridians simultaneously went into circulation as he tried to furiously absorb the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings. Spiritual energy swept into Mo Wuji like a whirlpool. The Elemental Restoration Pills were also rapidly converting the spiritual energy into elemental energy. As he felt the increase in his elemental energy, Mo Wuji actually managed to rise by a few feet. Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart. He knew that without a battleship, it would be extremely hard for him to rise by even an inch within the Immortal Chasm. Now, rising by a few feet actually meant that his method was actually working. Moreover, he even felt that his reverse circulation technique seemed to be able to counteract the suction force from Immortal Chasm. Hundreds of immortal crystals were emptied of their spiritual energy in that short period of time. Once again, Mo Wuji took out hundreds of immortal crystals. At the beginning, Mo Wuji still had to put the immortal crystals within the cloth bag on his waist. As time passed, Mo Wuji directly places the immortal crystals beside him, his intense suction of immortal spiritual energy was actually able to cause these immortal crystals to float beside him. The immortal crystals would automatically release the immortal spiritual energy, and this immortal spiritual energy would be swept away by him. With such a crazy use of immortal crystals, Mo Wuji was finally able to stabilise his body within the Immortal Chasm. He was also gradually able to accustom himself to the suction force from the Immortal Chasm. Or rather, he had come up with a method to counteract the suction force. The sounds of his defensive layer of fire turning Colourless Leeches into ash could be heard continuously. On the contrary, Mo Wuji had quietened down. For others, traversing across the Immortal Chasm was difficult. However, it might actually be possible for him. Firstly, he was not afraid of the Colourless Leeches. Secondly, he had the spiritual eye. Now, he had even adapted to the suction force from the Immortal Chasm. If he could maintain his current pace, and avoid the other life forms within the Immortal Chasm, he would have the hopes of survival. All this was based on the premise that he had sufficient immortal crystals. Mo Wuji discovered that the rate at which he was using his immortal crystals was too fast. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had yet to meet any huge hordes of strong demonic beasts. As he continued to use his immortal crystals, and while most of the immortal spiritual energy had been used to deal with the suction force from the Immortal Chasm, Mo Wuji was still able to breakthrough Earthly Immortal Level 9 and reach Earthly Immortal Level 10. The moment he broke through to Earthly Immortal Level 10, the elemental energy within Mo Wuji swelled explosively. He was able to rise another 3 meters. At this instant, Mo Wuji was sighing with emotion. It was true that adversity would bring fortune. If he wasn¡¯t trapped in the Immortal Chasm, how would he be able to achieve such gains? Not only did his power rise, his elemental energy was also tempered. In a short few days, he was already able to get such gains. He believed that as he spent more time here, his gains would only get larger. Just as Mo Wuji was enjoying his achievement, a black shadow the size of a small mountain suddenly whizzed by. If this was a piece of debris or a huge boulder, Mo Wuji would have been able to float away using his Wind Escape Technique. However, facing the pressure from the oncoming shadow, Mo Wuji instantly knew that it was not a piece of debris. Under the intense pressure, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even able to move. "Boom!" Mo Wuji felt as though his internal organs had been struck out of his chest; his entire body seemed to be like a light piece of paper as he was sent flying. I¡¯m dead. This was the only thought that went through Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. This was definitely not within his power. In front of this sort of giant leviathan, his Earthly Immortal Level 10 cultivation seemed to be worth less than an ant. Even though he knew that he was dead meat, Mo Wuji still administered some healing pills. His whole body floated away using the Wind Escape Technique. At the same time, he prepared himself to plunge into the depths of the Immortal Chasm. Falling into the Immortal Chasm was better than being eaten by this giant leviathan. "Boom!" Another terrifying impact came. A violent hurricane swept by, Mo Wuji was sent flying once again. Mo Wuji had already seen things clearly with his spiritual will. The giant leviathan that had crashed into him was a huge grey dragon. At this instant, the huge grey dragon was battling another huge dragon. The waves of explosions from their elemental energy was not what he could handle. These two huge dragons were like mountains. As the two mountains battled, any life form in the surroundings would be crushed to pieces. Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was drenched in cold sweat. However, he was also celebrating in his heart. Perhaps, in the eyes of these two huge dragons, he was just another ant. Even though Mo Wuji knew that the corpse of a dragon was a priceless treasure, he did not dare to spectate the battle. He immediately pushed his Wind Escape Technique to the max as he sped away. Fortunately, there were two dragons. If there was just one of them, he might have already been eaten. The Immortal Chasm. It truly wasn¡¯t a place that cultivators could casually enter. It was better if he increased his speed. Otherwise, if he were to run out of immortal crystals, he would end up dead even if he didn¡¯t meet another huge dragon. Chapter 442: Obtaining Fortune From Disaster Chapter 442: Obtaining Fortune From Disaster Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji pushed his Wind Escape Technique to the max. However, because of his layer of defense made from fire, his max could not be compared to when he was back in space. Fortunately, the two battling dragons did not notice an ant-like creature like Mo Wuji. After two hours of fleeing, the sounds of the two battling dragons disappeared behind him, and Mo Wuji could finally heave a sigh of relief. From Mo Wuji''s observations, he guessed that those two huge dragons were the metal-type Sword Dragons which existed in the Immortal Chasm. In the Immortal Chasm, various sorts of dangers exist. Just the Colourless Leeches alone were able to kill most cultivators, much less the Gui Water Spider and the Yin Fire Centipede. Along the way, Mo Wuji encountered many Gui Water Spiders. However, what made Mo Wuji relieved was that he didn''t meet any Yin Fire Centipede. Mo Wuji had battled with an Yin Fire Centipede before; he knew how terrifyingly strong an Yin Fire Centipede was. In his journey, when he met small groups of Gui Water Spiders, Mo Wuji would directly avoid them. But when he encountered huge hordes, he was truly unable to avoid them. Mo Wuji would carve out a path using his lightning swords, then instantly teleport away. Mo Wuji knew that he definitely couldn''t tangle himself in a battle for a long period of time if he wanted to survive in the Immortal Chasm. The reasons why he could survive for so many days in the Immortal Chasm were his defenses formed from his Scholar''s Heart, his reverse circulation technique, as well as his large stores of immortal crystals. He could not lack a single one of these things. Nothing would happen to his cultivation technique, and as long as he had immortal crystals, he would be able to sustain his Scholar''s Heart defenses. Thus, Mo Wuji''s primary worry was his amount of immortal crystals. The moment he ran out of immortal crystals, he was sure that he wouldn''t be able to last long. At the most, he could push himself for two to three days. He really didn''t have a lot of immortal crystals; he only had a few hundred thousands. After half a month of constant running, he had already used over 100,000 of them. He only had around 300,000 to 400,000 low grade immortal crystals left. With his current rate of use, these immortal crystals would only be able to sustain him for one month at the most. Of course, if Mo Wuji did not use the immortal crystals to cultivate, he might be able to squeeze out another month. However, Mo Wuji wouldn''t do that. As he cultivated here, Mo Wuji felt that his progress had become faster. Perhaps it was caused by the constant loom of death. Thus, he didn''t really consider to reduce his use of immortal crystals. There really wasn''t much point in being any more frugal; if he were to encounter a powerful beast, he would still end up dead. In fact, if he were to get killed with his immortal crystals unused, he would moan vehemently. Hence, he would rather use the immortal crystals to cultivate. This would be able to continuously raise his power. If he were to meet a demonic beast and die without the power to even resist, then he would be filled with regrets. Time passed in a flash. Mo Wuji could only push forward. In this month, Mo Wuji had killed over 10 Yin Fire Centipedes. The reason why he could kill so many Yin Fire Centipedes was because most of the Yin Fire Centipedes were by themselves. Mo Wuji''s cultivation had also reached the peak of Earthly Immortal Stage Level 10. Perhaps he only needed a single step to reach Earthly Immortal Stage Level 11. However, Mo Wuji wasn''t a half bit happy. He only had 30,000 immortal crystals. In another few days, he would completely deplete all these 30,000 crystals. Mo Wuji stopped cultivating. Even if he used all 30,000 immortal crystals, he might not be able to reach Earthly Immortal Stage Level 11. "Gua!" A hoarse croak reverberated through the air, even causing Mo Wuji''s eardrums to tremor and ache. Mo Wuji subconsciously stopped, forgetting about the problem with his immortal crystals. Two huge lanterns appeared in front of him. Mo Wuji''s heart tightened as he finally understood what was in front of him. Void Toad. This was definitely a Void Toad. Those two lanterns were the eyes of the toad. This toad''s body was transparent like an empty void, it couldn''t be seen. Only after Mo Wuji opened his spiritual eye, did he manage to see the faint outline of the toad''s huge body. This toad was tens of meters wide. Such a huge body was actually invisible. Mo Wuji was sure that if this toad hadn''t opened its eyes, he would have collided straight at it. Mo Wuji subconsciously took a step back. That toad was slowly opening its mouth. Even though Mo Wuji was unable to see clearly with his spiritual will, his spiritual eye was able to see things crystal clear. Within that toad''s mouth, was a huge grey tongue. That tongue seemed like it was going to extend outwards and sweep him away. All of Mo Wuji''s hair stood on its ends. Even though they haven''t battled, Mo Wuji knew that this toad was much stronger than him. Void Toad. This was the first time Mo Wuji encountered such a life form since he entered the Immortal Chasm. He couldn¡¯t fight it. At that instant, Mo Wuji made his decision; he was going to teleport and flee. Just at that moment, a cold Yin energy surrounded his body. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even think twice; he immediately escaped. Mo Wuji had experienced that sort of Yin energy many times; it belonged to the Yin Fire Centipede. He cursed his bad luck inwardly. As if he wasn¡¯t unlucky enough that he had to encounter a Void Toad, he had to meet another Yin Fire Centipede. A dim grey energy blade sliced past Mo Wuji¡¯s previous position; even the space around that position seemed to tremble. This was the longest Yin Fire Centipede he encountered since he came to the Immortal Chasm; it was close to 60 meters long. Mo Wuji stood in the distance unmoving. He knew he couldn¡¯t move; both the pressures from the Yin Fire Centipede and the Void Toad were pushing down on him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t move. Similarly, the Void Toad and the Yin Fire Centipede didn¡¯t move. The three parties seemed to be glancing towards one another. Mo Wuji was very clear, if he were to move, the two demonic beasts would immediately attack him together. Just like that, time passed slowly. Mo Wuji could feel more Colourless Leeches gathering nearby; his heart was filled with anxiety. He had been in the Immortal Chasm for one and a half months. Even though he had the defenses from his Scholar¡¯s Heart, he knew that the Colourless Leeches were very terrifying. The Colourless Leeches here were different from the ones in the Mining Area of Death. These Colourless Leeches didn¡¯t even fear death; as long as there was a human being, they would swarm over in large amounts. His fire defenses required large amounts of elemental energy; this was inextricably tied to the use of his immortal crystals. If there were too many Colourless Leeches, his defenses might not be able to take it. Even if his defenses could take it, it would be at the expense of copious amounts of immortal crystals, and he did not have many of those. Another half a day passed. The Colourless Leeches swarmed towards Mo Wuji like moths to a fire. The pressure Mo Wuji felt got heavier and heavier. Just as Mo Wuji decided to risk his life to escape, the Yin Fire Centipede and the Void Toad moved simultaneously. What infuriated Mo Wuji was that the Yin Fire Centipede and the Void Toad actually decided to join hands to deal with him. Ten huge boulders were spat out from the Void Toad¡¯s mouth, whizzing towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt as though the space he was in had been pressed down by these ten boulders. He was actually unable to teleport away. At almost the same instant the Void Toad spat out the ten boulders, it extended its long grey tongue. Mo Wuji knew what this toad was thinking; it wanted to pull him into his mouth. The fire around Mo Wuji exploded forth with greater intensity; directly turning all the Colourless Leeches around him into ash. At the same time, he formed over ten lightning swords and his Tian Ji Pole slammed against one of the boulders. He was going to destroy himself a path of retreat. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole directly smashed one of the huge boulders into smithereens. The pressure on space finally eased down by a bit. Before Mo Wuji could escape, ten blades of fire raced towards him. Against expectations, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he was trying to find a way out, he had always been worrying about the Yin Fire Centipede. He wasn¡¯t a match for the Void Toad, nor was he a match for the Yin Fire Centipede. He thought that the Yin Fire Centipede work together with the Void Toad and attack him simultaneously. Unexpectedly, the Yin Fire Centipede¡¯s attack was late by a few breath¡¯s of time. Regardless of the reason, this gave him a bit of breathing space, as well as the chance to escape. Mo Wuji surged with energy. Once again, he swung his pole out. While he was trying to break through the space pressure, he also kept his guards up for the Yin Fire Centipede¡¯s Yin body. He had suffered under that thing once before. Naturally, he wouldn''t be careless. Indeed, as Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji pole descended, he felt the chill from the Yin energy. The Yin Centipede was going to attack him. Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole descended, breaking the space pressure from the Void Toad¡¯s boulder. At the same time, he had already prepared his ten over lightning swords, he was not going to let the Yin Centipede stop him from escaping. "Gua¡­" The Void Toad uttered another hoarse croak. With his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji discovered that the Yin Fire Centipede¡¯s Yin Centipede wasn¡¯t actually targeting him, but the Void Toad. At this instant, Mo Wuji finally understood what was going on. No wonder why the Yin Fire Centipede¡¯s first attack had been delayed for a few breaths of time. It was because the Yin Fire Centipede wanted him to stall the Void Toad. From the looks of it, this Yin Fire Centipede¡¯s true target was the Void Toad. Indeed, a huge hole of blood was torn through the Void Toad¡¯s abdomen by the Yin Centipede. The Void Toad seemed angered by the betrayal of the Yin Fire Centipede. After another load croak, it suddenly spat out a yellow bead. This yellow bead was around the size of a volleyball. The bead shot towards the Yin Fire Centipede with intense energy; it was as though the heavens were crumbling and the earths were tearing. This was the Earth Elemental Bead? Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with shock. The Earth Elemental Bead had actually been refined by this Void Toad and had become its magic treasure. This was a price magic treasure. Even though Mo Wuji had already gotten rid of the spatial pressure from the Void Toad and could teleport away, he did not move. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes had already turned red from the Earth Elemental bead. He was also sure that the Yin Fire Centipede was here to snatch the Earth Elemental Bead. Only a spiritual beast like the Void Toad could find a unique treasure like the Earth Elemental Bead. "Boom!" The Earth Elemental Bead clashed against the Yin Fre Centipede¡¯s fireballs. Flowers of fire exploded within the Immortal Chasm. At the instant the Earth Elemental Bead struck the fireballs, Mo Wuji activated his Wind Escape Technique to the max, whistling by like breeze. The force from the explosion swept outwards. Mo Wuji seemed to be sending himself to get struck; he immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood. Because of the clash with the fireballs, the Earth Elemental Bead was delayed for an instant of time. That instant was enough for Mo Wuji. The reason why he risked his life was just for this instant. He immediately swept the sluggish Earth Elemental Bead into his storage ring, then he furiously teleported away. At this moment, he had even withdrawn his defenses of fire. He only had a layer of Scholar¡¯s Heart around him as he rapidly teleported away without restraint. Chapter 443: The Grand Barrier Chapter 443: The Grand Barrier Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The reason why Mo Wuji dared to do that was because he had already disregarded life and death. Even if he didn¡¯t snatch the Earth Elemental Bead away, he would still die in another few days if he didn¡¯t find a way out. Since he might die either way, why shouldn¡¯t he snatch the Earth Elemental Bead away when it was right in front of him? After fleeing for two consecutive days, Mo Wuji stopped. He knew that he was already in the clear. However, he wasn¡¯t happy. He didn¡¯t even take out the Earth Elemental Bead. This was because he had already finished his low grade immortal crystals. Mo Wuji swept outwards with his spiritual will. Immediately, he looked at his front in astonishment. "This is the other side of the Immortal Chasm?" Mo Wuji muttered to himself; his face was filled with shock. In front of him, was a slippery, grey barrier which was sloped like the bottom of a pot. Mo Wuji was completely unable to discern the material of this grey barrier. He only knew that it sloped downwards, then extended indefinitely. Mo Wuji carefully moved over. He lifted his head to see the vast and endless sloping barrier; he felt like a tiny ant staring at the huge sea. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart instantly turned cold. In front of this barrier, not just him, but the Immortal-Traversing Ship would also be an ant. Like him, it wouldn¡¯t be able to cross this grey barrier. Would he forever be trapped in the Immortal Chasm? The magnificence of the vast and grand; the oppression of the small and minute. These were the feelings in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. He blankly headed towards the barrier. He was just like a shrimp trying to climb the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Another half a day passed. Mo Wuji was already close to the grey barrier. He extended his hand and touched it; it was ice-cold. Mo Wuji really wanted to stop; he knew that there was no point continuing any further. This barrier was vast and interminable, how was he going to find an end? However, he also knew that he couldn''t stop. If he were to stop, he would immediately be surrounded by the Colourless Leeches. Mo Wuji swept along the barrier with his spiritual will. Even though he knew that there was no way through, he was unwilling to give up. After an incense of time, Mo Wuji felt fatigued at the use of his spiritual will. He still wasn''t able to find any way to get past this vast and interminable barrier. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to retract his spiritual will to rest, a stimulating beam of light flashed past. Feeling this beam of light, Mo Wuji''s entire body was shocked still. He was too familiar with this beam of light; it was his laser light beam. He had fired the laser cannon multiple times, how could he not be familiar with the laser light beam? Since there was the laser cannon, there must be the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Mo Wuji no longer cared about saving elemental energy as he raced towards the light. "Boom!" Another intense explosion sounded, it was accompanied by brilliant light. "Wait for me¡­" Mo Wuji could already see the Immortal-Traversing Ship with his spiritual will. Even though he knew that the people on the ship wouldn''t be able to hear his voice, he couldn''t help but shout. "Boom! Boom! BOOM!" Yet another series of explosions sounded. Mo Wuji saw the Immortal-Traversing Ship charge through the barrier. Mo Wuji was alarmed, his heart was filled with doubts. The barrier to the Immortal Domain could be blasted open using laser cannons? Soon, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. The Immortal-Traversing Ship had actually entered through a gap in the barrier. That gap was filled with all sorts of life forms such as the Gui Water Spiders. Thus, the Immortal-Traversing Ship had fired those cannons to blast away these life forms, then it got past the barrier. By the time he noticed this, that gap was already gradually closing. Mo Wuji''s heart sank, he knew that even if he charged over, he wouldn''t be able to get on the Immortal-Traversing Ship. ¡­ "Master Pu Zi, just now, my spiritual will seemed to detect someone charging towards us from the edge of the Immortal Chasm. Could it be Dao Friend Mo?" As the Immortal-Traversing Ship was blasting a path of blood from the Gui Water Spiders and Yin Fire Centipedes, Ku Ya suddenly said. Lou Chuanhe suddenly stood up and asked urgently, "Ku Ya, is that true?" Before Ku Ya could answer, Master Pu Zi said calmly, "That''s impossible. There''s no need to talk about how Dao Friend Mo only has a cultivation at the Earthly Immortal Stage. Even if he was a Heavenly Immortal, he wouldn''t survive one to two months on the Immortal Chasm. He wouldn''t even be able to deal with the Colourless Leeches." "Junior Mo has his fire defenses, why wouldn''t he be able to deal with the Colourless Leeches?" Lou Chuanhe frowned. Master Pu Zi sighed, "But are the Colourless Leeches here the same as those in the Mining Area of Death? The penetrating powers of the Colourless Leeches here are much stronger. Moreover, the moment he stops, he would be swarmed by a horde of Colourless Leeches. Even though Dao Friend Mo''s fire might be strong, he would only be able to survive for a few days. Furthermore, do you know what''s the most terrifying thing about the Immortal Chasm? Not only are there Colourless Leeches, there''s the suction force from the depths of the Immortal Chasm. The moment he gets sucked in, he would have no hope of surviving." "Master Pu Zi, I still feel that we should go back and take a look. What if it''s really Dao Friend Mo?" Ku Ya suddenly said. "It''s too late. The Immortal Chasm barrier has already closed. It would only open again tomorrow. Moreover, we don''t have any more ammunitions. Even if we go back out, it would be useless. And all these aren''t the most important considerations, we don''t have any more low grade immortal crystals, ah¡­." Master Pu Zi shook his head. Everyone went silent. The Immortal-Traversing Ship was Mo Wuji''s. The low grade immortal crystals on the ship were also Mo Wuji''s. Even though they helped, everything was largely due to Mo Wuji''s effort. Now, they had entered the Immortal Domain using the Immortal-Traversing Ship. However, Mo Wuji was left behind in the Immortal Chasm; it was still unknown whether he was dead or alive. A blinding light shot down towards them. They lifted their heads and saw refreshing sunlight and a patch of verdant greenery. Jia Qi¡¯s face was filled with tears. Ever since she entered Half Immortal Domain, she had never seen such a scene. Master Pu Zi parked the battleship in a mountain ravine. At the same time, he opened the doors of the battleship. Rich immortal energy seeped in. Everyone couldn''t help but moan in pleasure. They had finally entered the Immortal Domain. From today onwards, they were no longer fish, but dragons. They would go wherever they wanted. "Everyone, this should be Immortal Domain. However, it is not without reason when the Immortal Domain tries to control the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain. Even though I don''t know what that reason is, I believe that it''s best if we all do not reveal that we''re from Half Immortal Domain," After Master Pu Zi alighted, he spoke to everyone while clasping his fists. "What do we do next?" Kou Yuan asked. "Didn''t Brother Mo establish the Tian Ji Sect? We should all be considered as members of Tian Ji Sect. Why don''t we first find a place to hide ourselves as we wait for news from Dao Friend Mo?" Tong Ye had a straightforward personality; his words were also very frank and direct. Master Pu Zi waved his hand, "Even though I''m filled with grief, I must still acknowledge that Dao Friend Mo has likely perished. Tian Ji Sect was also established just to cross the Immortal Chasm. Now that Dao Friend Mo is not around, I think it''s better if we each go our separate ways." Lou Chuanhe stood up, clasping his fists towards Master Pu Zi as he said, "Master Pu Zi, Junior Mo might not be here, but we promised him that we would establish Tian Ji Sect. Those that remember Dao Friend Mo''s words and are willing to stay in Tian Ji Sect, please stand up." Before anyone else could speak, Ku Ya stood up and said, "Dao Friend Lou, Master Pu Zi, and everyone else, let me say a few words. Tian Ji Sect was established by Dao Friend Mo. Now, it''s still unknown whether Dao Friend Mo is still alive, but I believe that Tian Ji Sect should carry on. At the same time, Master Pu Zi''s words are also reasonable. We are currently lacking a leader, there wouldn''t be much use in staying together." "Ku Ya, you''re saying?" It could be said that Kou Yuan''s life had been saved by Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji''s survival in the Immortal Chasm was still unknown, he was feeling pain in his heart. That''s why he had largely remained silent. However, he did not oppose to Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Sect. Seeing the crowd turn to her, Ku Ya continued, "What I''m saying is, we can go according to Dao Friend Lou¡¯s words, we would all remain as members of Tian Ji Sect, and Tian Ji Sect did not need to be disbanded. We would also do as Master Pu Zi said, everyone would separate to find their own paths. With our current abilities, there''s no value on staying together." Everyone soon understood the meaning behind Ku Ya¡¯s words. Tian Ji Sect would remain as Tian Ji Sect, and the sect head would still be Mo Wuji. It was just that everyone''s abilities were too weak, and they had all came from Half Immortal Domain. Thus, they could not stay together but go on their separate ways. When they had sufficient power, they would gather back again. "I agree." Lou Chuanhe did not hesitate to say. He also knew that they would be courting death if they were to establish Tian Ji Sect in Immortal Domain with their current levels of power. "I also agree¡­" Tong Cheng said immediately. The rest also expressed their agreement. Seeing that all the others had agreed, Master Pu Zi nodded, "Since that''s the case, then I also agree. Then, where would the Immortal-Traversing Ship be placed? If everyone doesn''t mind, I hope to keep the Immortal-Traversing Ship. I wish to research on the methods used to forge the battleship." Ku Ya said, "Master Pu Zi, our main goal now is to raise our cultivation. I would suggest that we leave this battleship with Senior Lou." No one spoke; everyone else agreed with Ku Ya''s words. Mo Wuji trusted Lou Chuanhe the most. It should be because of this that Ku Ya suggested that the battleship be passed to Lou Chuanhe. Even though Master Pu Zi admired Mo Wuji, he wasn''t loyal like Lou Chuanhe. Since Ku Ya had already said it, there was nothing much for Master Pu Zi to say. He passed the battleship to Lou Chuanhe. After exchanging communication beads, everyone left in their separate ways. ¡­ Mo Wuji had yet to reach that gap in the barrier but he had already came to a rough understanding of the situation. It definitely wasn''t a coincidence that the Immortal-Traversing Ship was able to accurately find this gap. That meant to say, that on one of the eight people on the Immortal-Traversing Ship, there was a map of the Immortal Chasm, and that map even contained details on this gap. However, no one told him of this matter. This meant that the person with this information did not share all his secrets regarding the Immortal Chasm. Even though he didn''t know who had this map, Mo Wuji could guess that it was probably Master Pu Zi or the Tong brothers. Chapter 444: Killing A Way Out Chapter 444: Killing A Way Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji did not leave immediately. He believed that if the Immortal-Traversing Ship could leave through this gap, then this gap would open once again. After half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji knew that his guess was right. This was because boundless demonic beasts of all kinds came buzzing over. He wasn¡¯t even able to recognise many of them; he could only see large black hordes. Gui Water Spiders of different sizes came over in the ten thousands; the Yin Fire Centipedes that flew over were as small as a finger nail to as long as 100 meters. Except these, there were even more demonic beasts that he didn¡¯t recognise. These demonic beasts were crowding around the area that the Immortal-Traversing Ship had entered previously, seemingly waiting for the next opening. Mo Wuji activated his heavenly fire defenses as he tried to approach these demonic beasts. Fortunately, there were demonic beasts of all kinds, and all of them wanted to rush into Immortal Domain. Thus, they didn¡¯t really care about an odd Mo Wuji. Occasionally, there were some demonic beasts that tried to attack him, but they were easily destroyed by Mo Wuji. After a day¡¯s time, Mo Wuji could feel the entire space trembling. That grand and vast barrier seemed to be emitting a roar as a small gap appeared within the barrier. Seeing the demonic beasts and bugs surge in, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to charge forward as well. Even though he would be surrounded by demonic beasts, this was his only chance of survival. The longer he stayed outside, the more likely he was to die. Unfathomable waves of immortal spiritual energy swept by. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart tightened; he had a rough understanding as to why this place opened once everyday. It was possibly done by a person; the purpose of this action was to allow the spiritual energy to enter the Immortal Chasm. Such a grand scheme; it was unknown what grand power would be able to think of this. Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked but he did not stop; he even used all his 107 meridians to activate the reverse circulation technique. He also pushed his Wind Escape Technique to the max. "Boom!" Mo Wuji was already at the peak of Earthly Immortal Stage Level 10. Now that he was flushed by this rich immortal spiritual energy, he directly broke through the shackles and advanced into Earthly Immortal Stage Level 11. After advancing into Earthly Immortal Stage Level 11, Mo Wuji was brimming with elemental energy; his speed went even faster. His defense of fire burnt forth and turned those bugs around him to ash. Even so, Mo Wuji was left with no where to go. In front of him, were dense swarms of Gui Water Spiders and Yin Fire Centipedes; there were even some demonic bugs that he did not recognise. He was simply surrounded by bugs and he wasn¡¯t even able to use his teleportation. If not for the fact that the bugs were furiously trying to head towards Immortal Domain, and couldn¡¯t care about him, Mo Wuji might not even survive within these dense amounts of demonic bugs. The roar from the barrier could still be heard. Mo Wuji was incomparably anxious. He knew that this gap wouldn¡¯t be open for long; it would probably close within 10 breaths of time. One could only imagine. If this gap closes from both sides, he would end up crushed within the barrier, together with the rest of these demonic beasts. The demonic beasts squeezing towards the gap also knew of this danger, but they continued to charge in furiously. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had noticed that the gap was already starting to close. At this instant, he couldn¡¯t retreat even if he wanted to. The opening behind him was also blocked by boundless amounts of bugs. Mo Wuji whipped out his Tian Ji Pole, and at the same time, he ignited his vital blood. Almost all his potential was being exerted as he struck out with his pole. "Bang!" His Tian Ji Pole ripped out a gap. Countless of Gui Water Spiders were killed by his pole. However, at the very next instant, that gap was filled with more Gui Water Spiders and Yin Fire Centipedes. Mo Wuji¡¯s 107 meridians went into a fury. At this instant, his entire body was covered in green flames. If he did not push his way through, he would be crushed within this closing gap. As Mo Wuji furiously swung his Tian Ji Pole, his brain was in full action, thinking of a way to get through. Even though those Gui Water Spiders and demonic bugs were disgusting, these thoughts were disregarded. "Crack!" It was as though something had cracked. Mo Wuji suddenly gained an enlightenment from his 106th meridian - the dao revelation meridian. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to punch out. The flames from the Scholar¡¯s Heart were punched straight into the dense amounts of demonic bugs. A path of fire formed instantly. Mo Wuji knew that he had gained insights on a new sacred art. If he had time to develop it, he was even able to use the Scholar¡¯s Heart to display his Nirvana Pole Shadow. The moment the path of fire formed, the space around Mo Wuji eased slightly. He did not hesitate to use his spatial teleportation. He punched out once more; a hole of fire directly burned through the demonic bugs. Mo Wuji teleported again¡­ Mo Wuji continued to teleport consecutively. Before he could react, the loom of death suddenly shrouded his subconscious. Not good. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold. At this moment, he didn¡¯t even have a place to retreat to. As the sense of impending doom surged towards him, Mo Wuji could only choose to continue teleporting. At the same time, he wielded his Tian Ji Pole and used it to block his forehead. "Swish! Pui!" Ten consecutive radiant blades sailed past Mo Wuji¡¯s body. A painful sensation which was enough to cause one to spasm spread throughout his body; Mo Wuji directly plummeted from the air and landed heavily on the ground. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji seemed to feel the gap in the Immortal Chasm¡¯s barrier close. However, he was not excited nor happy. He only felt the gloom of death. All his limbs had been sliced off by the radiant blade; there was only a bit of skin left of his left arm. And these weren¡¯t the fatal ones; four radiant blades had ripped four of his meridians, two radiant blades had ruptured his central dantian, and one radiant blade even pierced through his heart.... These radiant blades seemed to have direction and motive; they dealt the most fatal injuries. The only thing that remained intact was his Mind Palace, because he had protected this area using his Tian Ji Pole. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with sorrow. He turned his head and saw heaps of corpses. These corpses seemed to be cut away by a sort of energy. So this was also a place of death; even after these bugs charged past the barrier into the Immortal Domain, they would still end up dead under these radiant blades. By this time, Mo Wuji was already clear of the situation. These radiant blades were spatial radiant blades. To install a domain of spatial radiant blades here, how many lives were killed? If he did not teleport out of this domain at the very last instant, he might have been left without a corpse. That¡¯s not right, why didn¡¯t he see the Immortal-Traversing Ship being attacked? Didn¡¯t the Immortal-Traversing Ship aslo enter through here? Soon, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. The Immortal-Traversing Ship wasn¡¯t a magic treasure. Although it was powered by immortal crystals, it did not exude any waves of spirituality. This spatial radiant blade domain was clearly an array installed by a person; this array could target cultivators or demonic beasts that exude waves of spirituality, then kill them. It was because of this, that the Immortal-Traversing Ship could end up safe. From the looks of it, that Wu You might not have come to Immortal Domain, but he had a deep understanding of it. Mo Wuji wanted to administer some healing pills. Unfortunately, he did not have any spiritual will, nor any elemental energy. Mo Wuji lifted his head and faced the blue sky, and that blinding sunlight. His heart was empty. He slowly closed his eyes. The first person that came to his mind was Cen Shuyin. Perhaps, he would be able to see Cen Shuyin soon. But was there really an afterworld? He wondered whether Yan¡¯Er was able to recover her memories and remember of this young master of hers. And there was that woman. Until now, he still didn¡¯t understand, why did she have to kill him? At this instant, Mo Wuji suddenly felt one of his meridians circulating. Vitality channel? It was his 107th meridian, the vitality channel¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded with ecstasy. How could he forget about such an important meridian? With the vitality channel, as long as he had a strand of life, he would be able to survive. Moreover, he had more than a single strand of life. Mo Wuji did not even need to control the vitality channel. His heart was rapidly recovered, then his dantian, then his meridians¡­ After some time, Mo Wuji suddenly sprouted a strand of spiritual will. He did not hesitate to retrieve a bottle of healing pills from his storage ring and swallowed all of them. His broken limbs were reattached and started to heal automatically. All these did not require the vitality channel; his healing pills were enough to finish the job. After an entire day, Mo Wuji could finally struggle to stand. He did not even bother changing his clothes as he limped to the distance. The joy on his face had already disappeared. The vitality channel was strong, but the recovery of his meridians seemed to stagnate. Even though the rest of his other injuries had already fully recovered, his four meridians remained broken. Without his four meridians, it would be hard for him to recover his cultivation. Perhaps one day, he might not need those four meridians to join the rest of his 103 meridians. However, his cultivation would only return back to Earthly Immortal Stage Level 11. It definitely wouldn¡¯t progress any further. The most important thing was, this was the Immortal Domain. Without power, he would only be waiting for death. Even though this place was filled with rich immortal spiritual energy, it was no longer related to him. Two days later, Mo Wuji changed into a new set of clothes. At this instant, he had become an ordinary mortal. Besides that bit of spiritual will, he was no different from a mortal. Chapter 445: First Interaction in the Immortal Domain Chapter 445: First Interaction in the Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Young man, how do I go to the Yong Ying Thrush Mountain?" A voice suddenly interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s train of thoughts as he sat by the side of the road. Mo Wuji lifted his head and saw a middle-aged man staring at him with a flying ship parked even further away. Mo Wuji hurried to stand up to greet him. Now that Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians were broken, his ability to sense his surroundings had fallen to the lowest point as he kept thinking what his next course of action should be. It was so extreme that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even notice someone had came so close to him before that man sounded out. "Mo Wuji greets senior," Mo Wuji hurried to bow and even though he couldn¡¯t tell this middle-aged man¡¯s cultivation level, Mo Wuji had a faint sensing that this person was very much stronger than him. "Qian Shan, bring him here," A sweet voice could be heard from the flying ship¡¯s direction. "Roger that," The man asking Mo Wuji for directions lifted his hand and Mo Wuji could feel an extremely strong energy sweeping him off the ground. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk because Mo Wuji realised how he was definitely not this man¡¯s match. When Mo Wuji¡¯s legs finally touched solid ground, he was already inside the flying ship. Despite not using his spiritual will to scan the flying ship, Mo Wuji was able to tell that this wasn¡¯t a flying ship any ordinary person could control. The immortal energy on the ship was even denser than the immortal energy from the immortal crystals he used to cultivate previously. The grade of this flying ship had far exceeded the grade of the flying car that Master Pu Zi forged for Mo Wuji. This even got Mo Wuji thinking that if he were to cultivate here, the rate of recovery of his four meridians using his vitality meridian could increase tremendously. "Little miss, this person is called Mo Wuji and there were no other signs of people around him. I have no idea how a mortal like himself would end up here," The man called Qian Shan said respectfully after bringing Mo Wuji up onto the ship. The girl who called him in seemed to be a very young woman. Her face was covered with a chiffon which revealed a little of her white and tender skin and from this alone, Mo Wuji was able to tell that she was an extremely gorgeous woman. In addition, her light green lotus dress gave her a very refreshing look. Even the faint scent from her body lifted Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit tremendously. "He shouldn¡¯t be a mortal because he had a storage bag hung around his waist," The one speaking was another woman beside the young woman. She was slightly taller, had a melon-shaped face and looked extremely delicate. She was also wearing a green dress with a pair of eyes full of energy which made him want to look at it once more. Because of his weakened cultivation, Mo Wuji kept his storage ring within his clothes and simply hung an ordinary storage bag on his body. Even without using his spiritual will to check, he knew that the taller woman had already used her spiritual will to scanned through his storage bag. This lowered Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of her because it showed that she clearly had no respect for him. Even though there was only a few spiritual herbs inside the storage bag, looking through the things in his storage bag without his permission proved that she was disregarding him. Even Qian Shan, the man who was speaking earlier, didn¡¯t do so because no matter what her intentions were, an act like this was simply too disrespectful. Mo Wuji said helplessly, "I am indeed a mortal and because a pill refiner once thought that I had the talent for cultivation, he brought me out to take care of his pet and even taught me some pill refinement techniques as well as imparting his cultivation technique. Afterwards, because I improved very quickly, that pill refiner took me in as his official disciple. Not too long ago, my mentor and his friends went out to search for a magic treasure and asked me to wait for him here. Because I¡¯ve waited for a while now and he hadn¡¯t appear, I decided to look for him. Eventually, I lost my way, met with a demonic beast and had some of my spirit channels destroyed even though I didn¡¯t lose my life." "What, you know the Pill Dao¡­" Qian Shan exclaimed surprisingly. He didn¡¯t even bother about the part where Mo Wuji mentioned about his destroyed spirit channels. Mo Wuji hurried to say, "I wouldn¡¯t say I am proficient in it because I could only concoct a few extremely normal pills." The young woman nodded his head, "Then do you know about the Yong Ying Thrush Mountain?" Presently, Mo Wuji already had some impression as he remembered something about the Half Moon Prison being one of the ten prisons in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. It seemed like this Yong Ying Thrush Mountain should be located in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. This was in fact, Mo Wuji¡¯s first time hearing about the Yong Ying Thrush Mountain but he knew that he must not admit that he didn¡¯t know about it. This place was vast and boundless so staying here would mean risking his own life. This young lady looked like a pretty amiable person with good character so he was wondering if he would have the chance to make use of her flying ship to get out of this place. However, if he were to misjudge her, she could finish him off with a simple fireball. Regardless, Mo Wuji decided to gamble on this. Just as Mo Wuji was preparing to stake everything on one throw and mentioned that he knew about this mountain, the woman suddenly asked, "What is the highest tier of pills you can concoct?" Mo Wuji had no idea how to answer this question but he hurried to answer anyway, "Before my spirit channels were destroyed, I could refine Tier 5 Earth pills but I can only refine Tier 3 Mortal pills now." "You can actually concoct Tier 5 Earth pills?" Qian Shan stared shockingly at Mo Wuji because he simply couldn¡¯t believe Mo Wuji could be a Tier 5 pill refiner after casually following a random mentor. If this was the case for everyone, there would be too many spirit pills refiners in this world. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank because he initially still thought that saying he was a Tier 5 pill refiner might not shock them too much. In actual fact, given the quality of his Pill Dao now, he should be able to refine Tier 7 pills with the suitable ingredients and opportunities to experiment. As for Tier 6 pills, he could refine them even with his eyes shut. Furthermore, this was the Immortal Domain so he thought that saying he was a Tier 5 pill refiner would not be too ridiculous. However, the reality proved that it might just be a little too ridiculous, especially in here. "That was what I could achieve previously. Presently, I could barely manage to refine Tier 3 Mortal pills," Mo Wuji hurried to explain. At this moment, a flying messenger sword flew over and the manager named Qian Shan caught it and his face turned bad, "Little miss, the Half Immortal Domain is starting to collapse and it has signs of becoming part of the Immortal Chasm. There are many cultivators from the Half Immortal Domain who are crazily trying to traverse the Immortal Chasm and some of them had even reach the Immortal Domain via a battleship¡­" The little miss took over the flying messenger sword and took a look before nodding her head, "I got it, let¡¯s turn this flying ship around for the moment and you send out a message to ask the Ying Bian City about the location of the Yong Ying Thrush Mountain." "Roger that," Qian Shan hurried to step down. Mo Wuji heard the little miss¡¯ orders and knew that he was no longer of use to them. Just as he was about to clasp his fist and leave the flying ship, he heard the little miss telling him, "You follow me." After she said this, she turned and entered one of the cabin in the flying ship. Mo Wuji knew that there was nothing he could do except to follow her. As he entered the cabin, the flying ship trembled slightly and took off. Mo Wuji kept following this little miss as they walked into one of the room which was located the furthest inside the rows of cabins and he could smell a scent. At that instant, Mo Wuji knew that it was her own personal room. Even though he had no clue what was the meaning in asking him over, Mo Wuji lowered his head and kept quiet. "Do you know that whatever you said earlier had a lot of loopholes in it?" This woman said suddenly. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold, but he understood what she meant. The problem was the fact that it seemed too idealistic for a random pill refiner to find a mortal to teach for a while and ended up having disciple which was a Tier 5 pill refiner. Even if it happened in the Immortal Domain, it was still not realistic. Even though this sentence had its loophole, the loophole wasn¡¯t that big. The problem was that Mo Wuji only became an official disciple only after he became a Tier 5 pill refiner. However, he didn¡¯t look old at all so even if he were to start concocting pills the moment he was born, it was merely tens of years only. How could someone like that become an official pill refiner so it was either he was boasting about himself or he was lying. The more important point was the fact that he had a few spirit channels broken. How strong must the other party be to destroy his spirit channels? And how could he survive after having his spirit channels broken? Mo Wuji sighed because he kept wondering what he should do in the future. In fact, ever since he was brought onto the flying ship, he had been thinking about this. Moreover, he regarded the Immortal Domain too highly which caused oversight in his explanation. Currently, Mo Wuji realised that even in the Immortal Domain, Tier 5 Earth pill refiner wasn¡¯t something very easily achievable. "If my guess is not wrong, you should have sneaked over from the Half Immortal Domain right?" This woman with her face covered with a chiffon asked. Mo Wuji felt very offended because what did she mean by sneaked in? Could it be that other people were not allowed to enter the Immortal Domain? And that if they did, they must have sneaked in? He realised in his heart that he was not any more significant than an ant here and people could do and say whatever they wanted of him. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to answer, the woman said once more, "To traverse the Immortal Chasm, even a Xuan Immortal might not be able to do so and you dare say you managed to do so even when you are merely an Earthly Immortal? Not only this, you are also a pill refiner. Could it be that I have been in closed doors for too long and that I haven¡¯t met people like you before?" "I am only very fortunate and it didn¡¯t matter any more whether I did traverse the Immortal Chasm or not. Now that my spirit channels were destroyed, I am nothing more than an ordinary mortal," Since the other party already guessed so much, there was no longer a need to waste his time trying to lie. The woman said faintly, "Even if your spirit channels were not destroyed, you would be executed sooner or later for sneaking across the Immortal Chasm." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything as he was wondering what type of expert was a Xuan Immortal expert. As for the woman¡¯s claim that he sneaked across the Immortal Chasm, he was still feeling extremely disdainful about it. If only he was strong enough, he would not hesitate to blast the Immortal Chasm barrier apart and set up a transfer array from the Half Immortal Domain to the Immortal Domain. Who set the rules that one couldn¡¯t traverse into the Immortal Domain? No matter the reasonings or argument, as long as one was strong enough, there was nothing one couldn¡¯t do. "I can save your life but even with my status, we have to do it discreetly¡­" Before waiting for her to finish saying, Mo Wuji took the initiative to bow and said, "Many thanks senior and if senior could put me down, I would forever be grateful for you." The young woman¡¯s tone was even more faint as she said, "I know you¡¯re not a simple man but no matter how extraordinary you are, letting you go from here would be equivalent to letting you die. Let¡¯s make a deal. I will save your life and even recover your spirit channels but you have to help me with something." Chapter 446: Tier 3 Pill Monarch Chapter 446: Tier 3 Pill Monarch Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "May I know how can I be of help to you? As long as I am able to help, I would definitely do so." With such a great deal, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t reject it unless he lost his mind because he simply couldn¡¯t think of any other way to save himself now. "My name is Wen Lianxi and you can either call me Dao Friend, my actual name or even senior," The woman nodded her head as she saw that Mo Wuji agreed to her suggestion without any hesitation at all. To be able to traverse the Immortal Chasm and come out alive, Mo Wuji must definitely be an extraordinary person. She wouldn¡¯t have much to lose even if she allowed someone like him to address her as senior. Mo Wuji was starting to have a good impression of Wen Lianxi because to her, he really didn¡¯t have any rights to negotiate in the current state that he was in. Despite so, she didn¡¯t discriminate against him and even took the initiative to say out her name. This, to Mo Wuji, was a form of respect. "My name is Mo Wuji and I was previously a rogue cultivator," Even though Qian Shan had already mentioned his name previously, Mo Wuji still felt the need to say his name once more out of respect and courtesy. "Alright, Dao Friend Mo, let me ask you what is the highest tier of spiritual pills can you concoct now?" Wen Lianxi stared at Mo Wuji with a lot of expectations in her eyes. Mo Wuji saw a pair of eyes which were full of expectations and he knew that the standard of his Pill Dao could directly affect the stakes of this deal. "Previously, I was able to concoct Tier 9 Heaven grade pills but after my spirit channels were broken, it has been a long time since I concoct any Heaven grade pills. I believe that as long as I have sufficient amount of spiritual herbs and once I found my touch again, I would be able to concoct Tier 9 Heaven grade pills," Mo Wuji said with a lot of conviction. To Mo Wuji, the highest tier of pills he could concoct was Tier 7 and he had never even tried to refine any Tier 8 or 9 Heaven grade pills before. However, Mo Wuji was very confident in his self made reverse immortal mortal technique in which his pill refinement technique was also derived from it. Furthermore, the success rate of his pill refinement was almost 100% and the reason why he hadn¡¯t concoct any Tier 8 or 9 Heaven grade pills was not because he didn¡¯t want to but because he couldn¡¯t find spiritual herbs of such high grade. This was the Immortal Domain which was why he believed that finding Tier 8 or 9 spiritual herbs should be an easy task for Wen Lianxi. As long as he had sufficient ingredients, why would he not be able to concoct the pills? "Are you really a Tier 9 pill refiner?" Wen Lianxi suddenly stood up as she had already walked up to Mo Wuji, trying to control her excitement. Since he had already reached this stage, Mo Wuji really couldn¡¯t say he was not so he said while brimming with confidence, "That¡¯s right, Senior Wen, I am indeed a Tier 9 pill refiner." Wen Lianxi took a long while before calming herself down and said, "Dao Friend Mo, tell me truthfully the total number of years you took since you started learning pill refinement to become a Tier 9 pill refiner?" Mo Wuji was stunned by the question. He spent a total of ten years cultivating and he was afraid the total time he took to learn pill refinement and study Array Dao would probably amount to less than one tenth of it. Furthermore, he had dedicated most of the time to study Array Dao instead of pill refinement. In actuality, ever since he created his technique of his own, he spent less time trying to concoct pills. Because while using his immortal mortal technique to cultivate, he didn¡¯t face many bottlenecks which was why even if he were to concoct pills, he would usually concoct those healing pills or pills to recover elemental energy. After pondering for a while, Mo Wuji answered, "Probably about two, three years." For this fact, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t boast about it because the total amount of time he spent refining pills would not even add up to one year so he was actually being humble when he said he took about two to three years. Wen Lianxi opened her eyes widely as she stared at Mo Wuji, "How can you be this talented? To only take two to three years to improve your Pill Dao to the level of a Tier 9 pill refiner¡­ You are not lying to me so I can help you fix your broken spirit channels right?" Mo Wuji replied anxiously, "Certainly not because the two to three years were the total time accumulated. The truth is that I¡¯ve spent a total of about seven to eight years researching on spiritual herbs and pill formulas." Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t continue saying anything because whether it was two years or eight years, one must be extremely talented to become a Tier 9 pill refiner from scratch. At this moment, Mo Wuji could only keep quiet as he waited for her to state what she needed him to do. Whether he was boasting or actually stating his own strength, he had played his hidden card so it was all dependent on whether she was interested. "If I were to give you another ten years, are you able to advance from Tier 9 Heaven grade pill refiner to a Tier 3 Pill Monarch? Even I know this would be a little rush because ten years is simply too short¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Wen Lianxi¡¯s words as he clasped his fist and asked, "Senior Wen, I have no idea what a Tier 3 Pill Monarch is. Could you give me a brief introduction of it?" Wen Lianxi nodded. "Before I explain, there is something I want to ask. Even though I am certain you are not older than 500 years old, I do want to ask how old are you?" Mo Wuji guessed that this must have something to do with the help she needed but the truth was that he was only 30 over years old. 500 years old? Stop fooling around. "I have not crossed the 200 years old mark," Mo Wuji reported his age to be six to seven times older because if he were to be honest and told her that he came over to the Immortal Domain while being in his thirties, Wen Lianxi would definitely become even more suspicious of him. "Great, no wonder you¡¯re able to cross the Immortal Chasm. You are truly shockingly talented," Wen Lianxi clenched her fist in excitement as she said, "Let me tell you what is a Tier 3 Pill Monarch. In the Immortal Realm, experts of Pill Dao were separated into nine different tiers and those who are able to concoct Tier 1,2,3 immortal pills would be considered as Tier 1,2,3 Pill Monarch respectively. Those able to concoct Tier 4,5,6 immortal pills are called the Tier 4,5,6 Pill King and then Tier 7,8,9 Pill Emperor¡­" Mo Wuji finally understood what was going on and it seemed as though Tier 3 Pill Monarch was equivalent to a Tier 3 pill refiner in the cultivation world. She gave him a time duration of 10 years and expected him to advance only three levels, wasn¡¯t she looking down on him? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji said, "If I have sufficient immortal spiritual herbs and enough immortal crystals, I am confident of achieving your aims. However, I would need you to give me a simple pill manual and some immortal pills for my reference would be good." "If you are not lying earlier on, I believe you can do it too. I am definitely able to agree to give you what you need but how can I be sure that you wouldn¡¯t sneak away with my things after I allow you stay and study Pill Dao? One must know that you are a fella capable of traversing the Immortal Chasm. Why don¡¯t you swear upon your Immortal Dao?" Wen Lianxi looked at Mo Wuji. It was naturally impossible for Mo Wuji to stay by her side and concoct pills for 10 years. Mo Wuji was thinking that as long as he could advance to become a Tier 3 Pill Monarch and helped her concoct what she needed, he would say his goodbye immediately. "Senior Wen, I have and will never swear previously and in the future. If Senior Wen don¡¯t trust me, you can give me the most poisonous pill and keep the antidote with yourself. Moreover, Senior Wen can visit me anytime to take a look at my progress," Mo Wuji said calmly. Wen Lianxi looked suspiciously at Mo Wuji for a while before nodding her head, "I trust you. Since you are willing to eat the Immortal Domain¡¯s toxic pill and reluctant to swear, you are evidently a person who don¡¯t like to go back on your words. Also, I would not be able to visit you to check on your progress on a regular basis." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was pounding fast but he would naturally not say the truth. The only reason why he dared to swallow the poisonous pill was because he had a detoxification meridian. As for her point of not being able to check on his progress regularly, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think much about it as he simply thought that she was unwilling to spend so much effort and attention on him. "This is a storage ring and there are all sorts of top tier spiritual herbs in it including immortal spiritual herbs as well as the rest of the items you mentioned earlier. After I visit the Yong Ying Thrush Mountain, I will send you to a place to study your Pill Dao. After you achieved success in your Pill Dao, I will find you again. As for the supply of the immortal herbs and spiritual herbs you needed, I will get people to send it to you after a while," Wen Lianxi handed Mo Wuji a storage ring as her voice revealed traces of gentleness. This was simply too good to be true. She was willing to let him study Pill Dao, help him recover and even bring him away from dangers. Mo Wuji¡¯s gratitude towards her kind acts suddenly grew tremendously. Just as the storage ring landed in his hand, Mo Wuji could feel a slight movement in his detoxification meridian. Following which, Mo Wuji hurried to use his spiritual will from his spirit storage meridian to scan his body. Mo Wuji immediately sensed a faint stream flowing from his finger to his meridian and seeping into his sea of consciousness. After a while, it concealed itself beside the violet lake in his sea of consciousness. Because of his damaged meridians, even though the detoxification meridian could sense the toxin, it was unable to detoxify it. Fortunately for his detoxification meridian, he was able to use his spirit storage channel to locate where the stream concealed itself. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to notice the extremely weak stream and eventually not being aware of the danger hiding itself within the violet lake in his sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because he was indeed too naive. He was just thinking about how Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t even know anything about him yet she was willing to offer such lucrative conditions for him. It seemed like even after he became a Tier 3 Pill Monarch, the help that Wen Lianxi required from him wouldn¡¯t be too simple as well. Wen Lianxi smiled and passed a jade case to Mo Wuji, "There is a Channel Supporting Pill inside and even though it could only recover spirit channels of cultivators below the Heavenly Immortal Stage, it should be sufficient for you." "Many thanks Senior Wen," Mo Wuji thanked her sincerely. Even though Wen Lianxi used plotted against him in the dark, Mo Wuji was still very grateful for her. Without Wen Lianxi, his meridians would never be able to recover. Without Wen Lianxi, he had no idea where he would be now and things were made much more difficult given the fact that the Immortal Domain was desperately searching for those who came over from the Half Immortal Domain. In fact, if Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t plot against him or create a security net for herself, he would be the suspicious one. "Go and focus on recovery first. Qian Shan, bring Mo Wuji to a quiet room," Wen Lianxi told Mo Wuji gently. "Alright," Qian Shan¡¯s answer could be heard from outside the door. "Senior Wen, may I ask what is the true use of the blackstones from the Half Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask as he saw Wen Lianxi trying to chase him away. Wen Lianxi said faintly, "You will understand in time to come hence, no need for me to explain." Mo Wuji could only express his thanks and followed Qian Shan after leaving the room. Chapter 447: Liar Chapter 447: Liar Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though Qian Shan arranged for Mo Wuji to stay in one of the rooms in the corner, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind because he was lodging under someone else¡¯s roof and didn¡¯t have much of a status to ask for more. After returning to his room, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to place restrictions around the room and then his spiritual will fell on the poisonous imprint within his sea of consciousness. Very soon, Mo Wuji understood what type of imprint this was. This imprint had a spiritual will tracker mark within it and contained an extremely strong toxin. This toxin was under complete control of the person who placed it and whenever she was willing, she could ignite the explosion of the toxin within his body. Soon after, the toxin would then instantaneously penetrate into the person¡¯s sea of consciousness as well as every single spirit channel in the body. As for the imprint, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t touch it because he couldn¡¯t be too bothered about it. Firstly, he had no intentions to escape now as he had yet to offend anyone here. At most, he would be wanted because he sneaked across the Immortal Chasm. Secondly, he had his detoxification meridian so it didn¡¯t matter much to him no matter when the toxin exploded and spread within him. After throwing these thoughts to the side, Mo Wuji took out the pill. This was the first time Mo Wuji heard of the Channel Supporting Pill and he had no idea which tier of immortal pill it was in. To be able to recover the spirit channels of an Earthly Immortal stage expert, this Channel Supporting Pill must definitely be something else. He just arrived from a cultivation planet which was why he didn¡¯t know any immortal pills formula. Now that he had this Channel Supporting Pill, he naturally had to analyse so he could recognise it in the future. While the Channel Supporting Pill was still in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, it was already giving out a faint scent. In terms of its condition, Mo Wuji felt that this pill should be a lower tier immortal pill. After observing it for a while, Mo Wuji finally threw this pill into his mouth. Even though the pill dissolved straightaway after it landed in his mouth, it would not affect Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to recognise the pill formula. He came out with his own pill refinement technique hence, as long as he was given the pill itself, his ability to deduce the pill formula from it was a talent gifted to him from heaven. Very quickly, Mo Wuji kept sighing because he deduced that there were over ten ingredients used to concoct this pill. The pity was that he had not even seen a single ingredient that was needed throughout his entire life thus far. This showed that the Channel Supporting Pill was made up of entirely immortal spiritual herbs so how was he supposed to deduce the formula when he didn¡¯t recognise a single of them? A faint immortal spiritual energy flowed into his broken meridians and it started to recovering at an insane speed. This was indeed a good pill and Mo Wuji instinctively started to circulate all his meridians so as to assist the recovery of his broken meridians. After just four hours, all four of his meridians were fully recovered. Just at the moment all 107 meridians linked up simultaneously, Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness trembled and his cultivation level jumped straight into Earthly Immortal Stage Level 12. The elemental energy that he had lost, returned back to his body and even his spiritual will increased by many folds. Mo Wuji heaved a slight sigh of relief because even though it didn¡¯t mean much to be an Earthly Immortal Stage Level 12 expert here, he could finally move freely. Whether or not Wen Lianxi placed the toxin in his sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji was still very grateful for her because after all, he was still a stranger to her and she had no idea what type of person he was. After helping him, it was reasonable and logical to ensure that she had the upper hand and control over things so Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t blame her for her actions. Mo Wuji opened the storage ring that Wen Lianxi gave him and he took in a deep breath of cold air the moment his spiritual will landed inside the storage ring. What a fortune! The lowest tier herb was actually a Tier 8 spiritual herb and it was in the least abundance. The more common ones were the Tier 9 spiritual herbs and some Tier 1 immortal herbs. One must know that it was extremely difficult for him to even find one stalk of this spiritual herb back when he was in Zhen Xing. Besides, he also saw a jade letter and a low grade immortal pill furnace and a pile of immortal crystals. These immortal crystals were all low grade immortal crystals but Mo Wuji had this feeling that Wen Lianxi specifically gathered these immortal crystals for Mo Wuji because he was certain that she would be using the higher grade immortal crystals for herself. From the bad state that he was in, Wen Lianxi should have guessed Mo Wuji should have nothing with him after sneaking from the Half Immortal Domain which was why she decided to give her a pill furnace and some immortal crystals. No matter the grade of the immortal crystals, it was a timely help to him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t cultivate because his immortal mortal technique was different from other common techniques. It was not only a cultivation technique for meridians, it was a reverse technique. He had no clue what Wen Lianxi¡¯s cultivation level was but he was certain it was higher than his own. The moment he started cultivating here, things wouldn¡¯t end up well if someone were to find out. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji took out the jade letter and just as his spiritual will entered the jade letter, he could feel another spiritual will. Mo Wuji was aware that Wen Lianxi was observing what he was doing but he didn¡¯t bother about her as he continued to scan through the jade letter. This was the lowest grade jade letter for Pill Dao which briefly introduced a few immortal herbs of the immortal realm and the characteristics of some of these herbs. Some of the herbs that were introduced here, Mo Wuji recognised them in the storage ring that Wen Lianxi gave him. Other than these, there were a few basic things such as refinement techniques for a few immortal pills. Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t learn all these techniques because he only needed to understand them. All his previous techniques were all deduced by himself and even for array dao, he had already stopped following Chu Xing Zi¡¯s legacy and started to build his own array dao now. After an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji put down the jade letter and started to refine the low grade pill furnace. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any spiritual will technique to use, his spiritual will was much stronger than that of an average Earthly Immortal Stage cultivator. Mo Wuji managed to refine the low grade immortal pill furnace in just one hour. Mo Wuji was not the type of person to waste time so he immediately took out a bunch of Tier 8 spiritual herbs to concoct Tier 8 pills. Even though he told Wen Lianxi that he was a Tier 9 pill refiner, the truth was that he hadn¡¯t even touched a Tier 8 pill before, let alone Tier 9 pills. Therefore, he needed to become a true Tier 9 Heavenly pill refiner in the shortest possible time. As long as he had sufficient amount of spiritual herbs, this wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to use his Scholar¡¯s Heart because why would he dare to show it off when he was only an Earthly Immortal Stage expert? After deciding to use his simple Earthly Immortal¡¯s flame, Mo Wuji chose to concoct the True Nihility Pill. This was a type of pill to recover the elemental energy of cultivators above the True God Stage. Back in Zhen Xing, he always wanted to concoct a pill like this but simply couldn''t find any Nihility Immortal Grass. The Nihility Immortal Grass was a Tier 8 spiritual herb and was astonishingly expensive because of its rarity. Presently, there were at least 10 Nihility Immortal Grass in the storage ring that Wen Lianxi gave him. Furthermore, all the other supplementary herbs were present so he naturally wanted to start by concocting this pill. Mo Wuji felt like he returned to the days at the Formless Blade Sect where he put his heart and soul only on learning and deducing the concoction of a pill. As stalks of herbs were thrown into the furnace, even though Mo Wuji was only using the Earthly Immortal flame, the herbs were fusing very quickly in the low grade immortal pill furnace as Mo Wuji started to purify the herbs. Normally, the percentage purity when achieved was about 90% but this time round, he really wanted to try achieving 100% pure essence using this immortal furnace to purify his herbs. Mo Wuji realised the outcome very quickly because just as he was about to achieve the 100% purity, he heard a clear explosion and then he could smell the burnt solution. This made him conclude that he had failed the first furnace of pills. Mo Wuji failed on the second furnace of pills, third, fourth¡­ As long as he continued to purify even when the herbs were very close to achieving its 100% purity, the herbs would immediately explode. ¡­ Wen Lianxi stared at the monitoring screen and the first time she extended her spiritual will to observe Mo Wuji, she did that intentionally so that Mo Wuji was aware that she was observing him. If Mo Wuji dared to continue concocting the pills even under her watch, it would mean that she found the right person. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t start concocting the pills straightaway as he tinkered with the jade letter and just like that, about four hours were wasted. Afterwhich, Wen Lianxi retracted her spiritual will and ignited the hidden monitoring array screen for Mo Wuji¡¯s room. He really wanted to know if Mo Wuji would dare to try concocting the pills once she retracted her spiritual will. However, the truth made her disappointed and furious because Mo Wuji wasted a few hours and failed eight consecutive attempts. No wonder he only dared to start concocting the pills after she retracted her spiritual will. If she still couldn¡¯t tell that Mo Wuji was definitely not a Tier 9 pill refiner, she would really be an idiot. Previously a Tier 9 Heavenly pill refiner actually failed so horribly to concoct a Tier 8 immortal pill after eight attempts despite having his full strength back. She believed that even she could concoct out a few Tier 8 immortal pills, even if they were not of the best quality. She sighed and realised that she must be at the end of her tether to actually believe a random stranger she met to be a talented pill refiner. Presently, she started to doubt Mo Wuji¡¯s claim that he managed to cross the Immortal Chasm. When she received the news that a battleship managed to cross the Immortal Chasm from the Half Immortal Domain, she was certain that Mo Wuji was a member of that ship because it would be perfectly normal to have been as wounded as he was even if he travelled using a ship. It was likely that because Mo Wuji was injured, the other members refused to bring him along and decided to leave him alone by the road. Mo Wuji was in desperate situation which was why he lied to her so that he could escape to a safer place. At the thought of Mo Wuji¡¯s desperate wish to live, Wen Lianxi sighed yet again because she hated to kill. Even though she was used by Mo Wuji, all she wanted to do was to throw him out and pray hard to never see this liar ever again. ¡­ Just as Mo Wuji failed to concoct eight consecutive furnace of pills, he realised that the problem was with the furnace. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue trying to concoct for the ninth time because during the process of the eighth attempt, he was confident he could easily concoct a True Nihility Pill. Just as Mo Wuji grabbed a bunch of ingredients preparing to concoct a furnace of True Nihility Pills, there was a slight movement in his restriction on his door. Mo Wuji hurried to lift the restriction and he saw Wen Lianxi standing in front of his entrance so he hurried to clasp his fist and said, "Greetings Senior Wen." Wen Lianxi stared at Mo Wuji for a while as she realised how naive she was to think that everyone would be like her and feel guilty after doing something indecent. For example how she felt extremely guilty for a period of time for putting a toxic spiritual will imprint into Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness previously. However, she couldn¡¯t see any traces of guilt in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. "Dao Friend Mo, have you gotten your alchemy standard back?" Wen Lianxi did her best to control her tone so as to appear calm. Chapter 448: Hundred Flowers Manors Chapter 448: Hundred Flowers Manors Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji had no idea why Wen Lianxi only asked this question after so long but he still answered calmly, "I have already gotten back my alchemy standard for a Tier 8 pill refiner which meant that I could concoct Tier 8 pills easily. I believe that I will be able to recover my Tier 9 standards very soon." Wen Lianxi sighed once more because she would never expected someone to be this thick-skinned. She retrieved a pill and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Swallow this pill and then¡­" Before Wen Lianxi could get Mo Wuji out of the ship, Qian Shan walked over and reported, "Little miss, we have reached the Hundred Flowers Manor¡­" The ship trembled for a bit but before the ship could come to a complete halt, Wen Lianxi heard a laughter, "Sister Xi, I look forward to your arrival everyday but why did you arrive so late? Did you forget about me¡­" Before the sentence was completed, a round faced girl in a vibrant red dress appeared in front of the flying ship. In the very next moment, the girl appeared in front of Wen Lianxi. "What, Sister Xi, who¡¯s this? I have never met him before," The red dressed girl asked surprisingly when she saw Mo Wuji in front of Wen Lianxi. She was aware that when Wen Lianxi left, the only house servant she brought along was Qian Shan. "Oh¡­" Wen Lianxi let out a ¡®oh¡¯ and hurried to say, "This is a rogue cultivator with low cultivation level whom I met on the street. I¡¯ve heard that he knew how to take care of the flowers so I brought him along with me. If you need a gardener to help look after the flowers, we could offer him a job here but if you don¡¯t, we can just let him leave on his own." "Thank you sister, I am indeed growing more flowers nowadays and I was just wondering if I should find a few gardeners to assist me. Let him go there himself, I will accompany you there." Before the red dressed girl could finish, Wen Lianxi smiled and interrupted, "I am not going there because I want to make a trip to the Yong Ying Thrust Mountain¡­ Qian Shan, bring Mo Wuji to the Hundred Flowers Manor." Finishing her words, Wen Lianxi turned to Mo Wuji as if she was about to say something but ended up sighing and not saying anything before she turned away and left. "Sister, I will go to the Yong Ying Thrust Mountain with you," The red dressed girl followed closely behind her. Even though he was only in the Earthly Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was incredibly strong. As he could sense that Wen Lianxi whispered some things to Qian Shan, she didn¡¯t understand the reasons why Wen Lianxi acted like this. Moreover, her attitude towards him changed and there were traces of disappointment in her eyes. Additionally, she didn¡¯t exhort what he should do, when the next batch of immortal herbs would be sent to him as well as how he could contact her etc. "Follow me," Qian Shan¡¯s tone was icy cold as well. Mo Wuji kept the jade vase that was in his hand as he followed Qian Shan off the ship. The moment they got off the ship, Mo Wuji could smell the rich fragrance of the flowers. Right in front of him was a massive elegant board showing ¡®Hundred Flowers Manor¡¯. Even though the gatehouse of the Hundred Flowers Manor didn¡¯t look very big, Mo Wuji could feel that the place was filled with spirituality aura. "Pass me the storage ring that little miss gave to you," After descending from the ship, Qian Shan said something which Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t make sense of. Mo Wuji asked suspiciously, "Manager Qian Shan, this storage ring is for me to use to concoct pills so how do I improve if I were to give this to you?" Qian Shan shook his head, "You shall only nurture the flowers in the Hundred Flowers Manor and not think about anything else for now." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned heavy as he didn¡¯t believe that Qian Shan would be daring enough to make such a decision. Furthermore, the storage ring only had a low grade immortal pill furnace which was worth something. Mo Wuji was certain that Qian Shan would not be interested in the few spiritual herbs and the Tier 1 immortal herbs. Also, Mo Wuji could feel Qian Shan¡¯s loyalty to Wen Lianxi so he would definitely not do such things behind her back. "Manager Qian Shan, what is the meaning of this? Bring me to meet your little miss, I want to get things clear," Mo Wuji was still confused over the situation presently. Qian Shan¡¯s face turned serious, " Mo Wuji, I know little miss has a very kind heart but you shouldn¡¯t go overboard just because she is kind. If you insist on doing so, don¡¯t blame me for being rude." Even though Mo Wuji had no idea what was going on, he knew that it would be impossible for him to meet Wen Lianxi again. He took out the storage ring and handed it to Qian Shan without saying anything. There must have been a misunderstanding in between but regardless, Mo Wuji would not be so desperate to beg her. "Master Qian Shan," Just as Qian Shan kept the storage ring, an elder with a face full of wrinkles hurried over to greet him. Qian Shan nodded and said, "Deacon Wei, this is a flower boy to help with the planting. See if you need help here and if you don¡¯t, you can let him leave as he wishes. I am going to accompany little miss to the Thrust Mountain so I won¡¯t be staying long." "Servant will handle this, please stay safe on your trip," The elder replied as he sent Qian Shan off. The elder turned to instruct Mo Wuji to follow him only after Qian Shan boarded the flying ship and took off. If not for the fact that he received help from Wen Lianxi and even made a promise with her, Mo Wuji would have left long ago. Even if Mo Wuji had no clue about the current situation, he still clasped his fist towards this elder and said, "Greetings Deacon Wei, I¡¯m Mo Wuji." Deacon Wei nodded his head but didn¡¯t speak as they entered the Hundred Flowers Manor. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to observe the surroundings very carefully and he failed to recognise the restriction array used for this Hundred Flowers Manor. After entering the Hundred Flowers Manor, Mo Wuji was captivated and shocked by the variety of fresh flowers within his sight. This should be called the Ten Thousand Flowers Manor and not the Hundred Flowers Manor. In the middle of sea of flowers was a wide path that leads directly to an extremely stylish building. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that it should be the residence district of the Hundred Flowers Manor. There were terraces of rice paddies stretching out in between these flowers and Mo Wuji estimated with one glance that there were about thousands of these paddies. Even though Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t recognise these flowers, he was after all still a Heaven grade pill refiner so he was aware that a great majority of these flowers were immortal herbs. Deacon Wei took Mo Wuji across the sea of flowers and ended up in front of a row of low lying houses. This place was several kilometres away from the stylish building that they saw earlier. Just as Mo Wuji was wondering if this was where the gardener would reside in, Deacon Wei pointed to one of the houses and said, "Mo Wuji, you will stay here in the future. Oh yes, go analyse the flowers here and find me after a few days. I will allocate you the region you are supposed to be in charge of. As for the monthly allowance, you can find me directly to collect it." As he was speaking, Deacon Wei took out a book to hand it over to Mo Wuji. "I will be receiving monthly allowance?" Mo Wuji asked because he was here to study Pill Dao and he already found it weird that he was tasked to take care of flowers and now he would be receiving allowance. Weren¡¯t they treating him like a house guard now? Deacon Wei revealed a smile by the side of his lips as he showed his mouth full black teeth and said, "Of course. Even though it is not a lot, it isn¡¯t something everyone has. You must do your job well and if you are not up to standard, you could have nothing to do with the Hundred Flowers Manor very soon." After Deacon Wei said his piece, he turned and left. Mo Wuji scanned through his own residence and saw ¡®D115¡¯ on his room. The moment he pushed his door, a pile of dust fell and landed on him. Mo Wuji looked at the room and saw how ordinary it was. There were only one bed, one table, one chair and nothing else. Even his immortal cave in the Half Immortal Domain was much better than this place. Mo Wuji shook his head and executed a dust technique to clean this whole place of its dust. After cleaning up, he walked over to take a seat at his chair as he took out the jade vase that Wen Lianxi handed him. There was only one pill in the jade vase and despite not seeing this pill before, he knew that this was a antidote. He seemed to have a little more understanding of the situation now as he placed the pill in his mouth. This pill turned into a faint healing energy as it charged into his sea of consciousness as it resolved the poisonous spiritual will imprint in his sea of consciousness. So this was indeed an antidote pill, could it be that Wen Lianxi felt guilty and didn¡¯t wish to control him through this way anymore? Not possible, if this was the case, there would be something wrong with Wen Lianxi¡¯s final attitude towards him. Mo Wuji had experienced many incidents before so after pondering for a while, he finally came to a understanding. His final conclusion was that Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t want his help anymore as she terminated their ¡®contract¡¯. Wen Lianxi was really kind to help him resolve the toxin in him even after terminating their deal. However, she did take back everything she gave him initially. Mo Wuji let out a laughter of ridicule because he was still planning to achieve a lot here. He was thinking of advancing to become a Tier 3 Pill Monarch before leaving but who would have expected that he was thrown back to his original state so quickly. Women really have an ever changing mind as her thoughts could change so quickly overnight. Fortunately, she acted fast and healed him the moment she thought about it. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think too much about it because this woman was still considered very kind. Even after she decided not to work with him, she still found him a job, didn¡¯t mind helping him recover and even detoxified the toxin in him willingly. After sorting his mind, Mo Wuji decided to stay here for a few days to find out more about some things before leaving the Hundred Flowers Manor immediately. Since the other party no longer had any intentions to work with him, there was no reason for him to stay here. He would definitely pay back the favour that he owed her if he ever meet her again. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji simply calmed his heart down as he started reading through the book Deacon Wei gave him. Initially, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too interested in this book because he felt that Deacon Wu was only a gardener with not so high cultivation level so how good could the book from him be? Only after Mo Wuji opened the book, he realised that he was wrong. This was a actually a complete book of hundred flowers. Whether it was spiritual herbs or immortal herbs, as long as they bloomed here, it would be recorded in this book. Mo Wuji was engrossed in this book as soon as he opened it. Three days later, Mo Wuji gave up the idea of leaving the Hundred Flowers Manor. He spent most of his time studying the flowers at the Hundred Flowers Manor which were graded as immortal herbs and above. He had completely forgotten about finding Deacon Wei after a few days. On the ninth day, Deacon Wei took the initiative to find Mo Wuji here. Chapter 449: Drug Concoction Chapter 449: Drug Concoction Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Drug Concoction "I saw that you have been observing the garden a lot these few days, seems like you are really interested in nurturing flowers?" Deacon Wei sounded off from afar. Mo Wuji hurried to get on his feets as he clasped his fists together towards Deacon Wei and replied apologetically, "Because I was completely captivated by the huge variety of flowers here, I had forgotten to visit you. I hope that you can forgive me for being so forgetful." Deacon Wei shook his hand, "No worries, this is only a small matter. I¡¯ve heard from Master Qian Shan that you are a gardener but I want to ask if you know how to concoct drugs?" Concoct drugs? Mo Wuji shivered a little because his status now was merely a gardener and drug concoction should be the job of a drug refiner. Even in the Immortal Domain, the status of a drug refiner should be much higher than a gardener right? Why would Deacon Wei ask a gardener like him if he knew how to concoct drugs? Seeing how Mo Wuji was in a daze, Deacon Wei explained, "It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t know. I casually asked you this because when you first arrived, I could smell the scent of spiritual herbs from your body. It seems like you are pretty interested in flowers so how about this? Come to my place tomorrow and I will assign you a plot of land for you to be in charge." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold because before he descended Wen Lianxi¡¯s ship initially, he was indeed concocting the Tier 8 True Nihility Pill. He would have never expected Deacon Wei, a person in charge of the flowers would notice such small details and even remember them. Seemed like this Deacon Wei was not any ordinary deacon. "I do know how to concoct some drugs but my standard for purifying herbs into their essence is still not extremely good," Mo Wuji hurried to say because he definitely didn¡¯t want to waste time nurturing flowers here. If he had this amount of time to spare, he would rather find some cultivation resources and undergo closed doors cultivation. Because he had no clue what Deacon Wei¡¯s intentions were, Mo Wuji decided to be slightly conservative with his answer. Hearing that Mo Wuji said he knew how to concoct drugs, Deacon Wei was elated as he asked, "So what is percentage purity of essence can you achieve?" Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "I should be able to achieve above 80%." If he were to just purify spiritual herbs, Mo Wuji could easily achieve 90% and above of purity and he had a high chance of hitting 100% if he were to use his Scholar¡¯s Heart. Mo Wuji had never tried purifying immortal herbs but he guessed that 80% shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him. "That¡¯s good enough, I will arrange for you to help the Hundred Flowers Manor concoct drugs. This ensures a better future than being a gardener for you too and even though it might be a little more tiring, the monthly allowance would be ten times higher," Deacon Wei said excitedly. Mo Wuji asked inquisitively, "Don¡¯t we, Hundred Flowers Manor, grow flowers only? Why do we need to concoct drugs?" Deacon Wei laughed, "The concoction of drugs is the main source of income for our Hundred Flowers Manor and we grow flowers simply because our Manor Lord likes it. Even so, there are a lot of immortal herbs within these flowers that we grow." "Then may I ask what are the few drugs that you all concoct here?" Mo Wuji shot out yet another question because if his job was to only purify a few spiritual herbs, he wasn¡¯t interested at all. If it involved immortal herbs, he wouldn¡¯t mind helping by staying a little longer. He just arrived here at the Immortal Domain so it couldn¡¯t get any better if he could concoct drugs to earn cultivation resources. As for the blackstones, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t touch it unless he was fully aware of its uses. Even if he knew the uses, he needed to wait till he was sufficiently strong enough before touching it. "It ranges from Tier 1 immortal herbs to Tier 3 immortal herbs and the monthly allowance would be directly dependent on the purity of your concoction as well as the amount you concoct. Don¡¯t worry, as long as you do a great job and already have sufficient cultivation resources, we would occasionally give out immortal pills. Hurry up and follow me, I will bring you to meet Manager He," After Deacon Wei finished speaking, he waved to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji followed behind Deacon Wei out of the garden and asked, "Deacon Wei, the book you gave me was really decent but why are there only flowers in the book?" Mo Wuji had only just arrived at the Immortal Domain and was completely clueless about the different types of immortal herbs so his priority now should be to study the various immortal herbs. Deacon Wei answered immediately, "This Hundred Flowers Collection was arranged by the Manor Lord as she is not only proficient in all sorts of herbs but even more proficient in flowers. As long as you contribute to the Hundred Flowers Manor, the Manor Lord will reward you and you can even put forward any requests you have." As he spoke, Deacon Wei had already brought Mo Wuji to the stone gate in front of the stylish building he saw earlier. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan the place and could instantly sense the various hidden and defensive arrays put in place. "Come in, but try not to look around," Deacon Wei signalled for Mo Wuji as he stepped through the stone gate first. The moment Mo Wuji entered the stone gate, he could sense the array behind him closing up. His heart skipped a beat but he calmed himself down very soon after. He was merely a nobody so the Hundred Flowers Manor wouldn''t resort to such extensive measures to deal with him. After crossing two intersecting stone paths, Deacon Wei finally stopped in front of a door which was full of restrictions. Following which, Deacon Wei slided a jade token across the door and the restrictions were immediately lifted. Mo Wuji could smell the fragrances of medicinal drugs as he followed closely behind Deacon Wei. In front of Mo Wuji was a big hall which covered close to 1000 meters square of land and there was a pile of the various medicinal herbs in the middle of the hall. There were seven people purifying the herbs and in front of each of them was an Earth fire. Everyone of them was sending the essences of the purified herbs into a jade vase beside them. Mo Wuji used an Earth fire before during his time at the Formless Blade Sect so he didn¡¯t find it very fascinating seeing it here. Other than being stronger, there wasn¡¯t really much difference between the Earth fire here and the one he used at the Formless Blade Sect. "Wei Wu, this is the new gardener who knows how to concoct drugs?" The one speaking was a middle aged man. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to size up the man and he could immediately tell that he should be in the Heavenly Immortal Stage as the aura around him was much more intense than Kou Yuan. Even though his aura was intimidating, his spirituality was not as strong. Mo Wuji predicted that he should not be that powerful and Mo Wuji was confident that he could finish this fella off with his current cultivation level. "Yes, Manager He. I¡¯ve just questioned Mo Wuji and he told me that he knew how to concoct drugs," Deacon Wei answered respectfully. As he finished his piece, he turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Wuji, this is the Manager He who is in charge of the administrative affairs of the Hundred Flowers Manor¡¯s Drug Concoction Room." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the middle aged man and greeted, "Mo Wuji greets Manager He." Manager He furrowed his brows a little because not only did this person in front of him has such a low cultivation Level, he had no manners too. Did Mo Wuji really think he could just clasp his fists without bowing when greeting someone of much higher status than him?" Deacon saw the unhappiness in Manager He¡¯s eyes so he hurried to pat Mo Wuji and said, "Mo Wuji, hurry up and find an Earth fire then sit down and start concocting." "Many thanks Deacon Wei," Mo Wuji could feel that this Manager He was clearly not very pleased with him and he even seemed as if he had the intentions to chase Mo Wuji away. Realising this, Mo Wuji hurried to find an Earth fire and started to ignite the fire immediately. The moment Mo Wuju entered, he noticed that there were only immortal herbs here and Deacon Wei wasn¡¯t lying when he said there were only Tier 1,2,3 immortal herbs here. No wonder Wen Lianxi wanted to send him here to study his drug Dao because this was the most suitable place to study purification. Now that there were so many immortal herbs for him to concoct into drugs, why would he let this opportunity go to waste? "Remember, the losses from your failed attempts would be deducted from your monthly allowance," Manager He saw that Mo Wuji had already started concocting the drugs so he didn¡¯t say much except to warn him. Mo Wuji grabbed a Tier 1 Immortal Energy Grass because he saw such a herb in the jade letter that Wen Lianxi gave him but before he could attempt to concoct it, the jade letter was taken away by Qian Shan. Now that he had this opportunity again, he naturally wanted to try it. After a few minutes, Mo Wuji was able to purify this herb as the solution ended up inside the jade vase beside him. "What!" Manager He exclaimed in surprise as he saw Mo Wuji producing the purified solution. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t look old at all yet he managed to purify the herb so quickly and he did look extremely skillful for his age. It seemed like he had misjudged this Mo Wuji fella. Mo Wuji heard Manager He and was equally as surprised because how could this Manager He be so capable that he was able to tell in an instant that Mo Wuji had achieved 90% purity? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji heard a sound from where the neighbouring drug refiner placed his jade vase. Following which, a red radiance flashed by and the jade vase was immediately discarded. Mo Wuji finally understood that the accepted solution would be send directly into the jade vase while the rejected one would be reported straightaway and then discarded. This seemed like an assembly line job and he felt like he was a worker at the assembly line. "Manager He, Deacon Wei, Manor Lord is looking for both of you," A clear voice could be heard from outside the gate. Deacon Wei and Manager He acknowledged the order and then walked out of the hall. "This Dao Friend here, my name is Wang Hezhen and how may I address you?" The moment Manager He left, the drug refiner closest to Mo Wuji turned and asked. Wang Hezhen looked much older than Manager He and even he had some white hair growing out. Mo Wuji took a quick look at his cultivation level and concluded that he should be in the Earthly Immortal Stage. However, his eyes were a little turbid and had symptoms of edema which was clearly not something a cultivator should have. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on the herbs that he was purifying and realised there was nothing he could recognise in his pile. It appeared as though these were neither Tier 2 nor 3 herbs. "My name is Mo Wuji and I would love to have Brother Wang¡¯s guidance in the future," Mo Wuji stopped with his work as he greeted Wang Hezhen. Wang Hezhen hurried to shake his hand, "No, no. Brother Mo¡¯s refining technique is much better than mine and my guess is that the Immortal Energy Grass that you purified earlier on had a 90% pure essence. Even though it was a Tier 1 immortal herb, to be able to achieve 90% purity was extremely difficult." Mo Wuji praised this fella in his heart because he did achieve 90% purity earlier on. He believed that as long as he tried a few hundred times, he would be able to achieve 99% and once he achieved that, he would move on to the Tier 2 immortal herbs. When Mo Wuji finally managed to achieve 99% purity for even Tier 3 herbs, he would leave the Hundred Flowers Manor because there wouldn¡¯t be any more reason for him to stay. This was also why he didn¡¯t waste time doing meaningless things the moment he reached this place as he started work immediately. "Brother Wang, in actual fact, I¡¯ve just started embarking on this career and I only know of a few Tier 1 immortal herbs. I realised that the herbs Brother Wang is purifying are of higher tiers than mine and I don¡¯t even recognise the names of some of these herbs," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said as he was prepared to learn a few things from this Wang Hezhen. "You don¡¯t recognise this Silver Rings Flower?" Wang Hezhen looked curiously at Mo Wuji and even the few other drug refiners stared at Mo Wuji when they heard the conversation. Which other drug refiner wouldn¡¯t recognise the Tier 2 Silver Rings Flower? Chapter 450: Beautiful Manor Lord Chapter 450: Beautiful Manor Lord Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned awkward as he said, "Because I have always been a gardener and most of the time, I have only been purifying spiritual herbs and Tier 1 immortal herbs. I may have came across a few Tier 2 immortal herbs but it was in very rare instances." All the drug refiners did not doubt Mo Wuji¡¯s explanation because the status of a gardener was really low. Even though they were all drug refiners and their job was tough too, their status was much higher than a gardener. The monthly allowance of a gardener could at most allow them to afford some better Tier 2 immortal herbs, let alone large amounts of Tier 2 immortal herbs for them to purify. "Dao Friend Mo, didn¡¯t Manager He give you the Hundred Herbs Collection before you came over?" Wang Hezhen questioned. Mo Wuji thought of the Hundred Flowers Collection that Deacon Wei gave him and realised that there was another book called the Hundred Herbs Collection. Manager He didn¡¯t even mention anything about it which showed how unhappy he was with Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s intention was to learn how to purify a few low grade immortal herbs before leaving but he was naturally interested in something like the Hundred Herbs Collection. From the Hundred Flowers Collection, Mo Wuji knew that this Hundred Herbs Collection must be pretty extraordinary. "The Hundred Herbs Collection has very detailed introduction of all Tier 1 to Tier 3 immortal herbs," Wang Hezhen added. Mo Wuji hurried to inquire, "Brother Wang, was this Hundred Herbs Collection also written by the manor lord?" "Of course, the main reason I came over to be a drug refiner here was for the Hundred Herbs Collection," Before Wang Hezhen could answer, a slightly younger drug refiner answered from far away. Evidently, everyone was no longer as concerned about Mo Wuji the moment they found out that his background as a gardener. "Then the manor lord must be a top grade Pill Monarch," Mo Wuji was not completely clueless because at least he knew what a Pill Monarch was. "I¡¯ve heard that the manor lord didn¡¯t know how to concoct pills nor drugs," Wang Hezhen shook his head as he answered Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart trembled because how could someone, who didn''t know how to concoct drugs, be able to write out the Hundred Flowers Collection as well as the Hundred Herbs Collection. The only possible reason for this would be that the manor lord had a peak grade immortal herbs drug manual. At the thought of this, the fire in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started raging because the one thing he was lacking now was knowledge. To become a Pill Monarch, he had to at least be familiar with the various immortal herbs. If the manor lord of the Hundred Flowers Manor really and a peak grade manual of the immortal herbs, he had to crack his brain to get a copy of it no matter what. Previously, he had no idea what was the strength of the manor lord of the Hundred Flowers Manor. If the manor lord was a Heavenly Immortal, he could use the blackstones to exchange. If the manor lord was stronger than a Heavenly Immortal, he would have to use other means to get the manual. As he thought about this, Mo Wuji hurried to ask, "Brother Wang, if you spend so much time refining drugs here, won¡¯t you have no time to cultivate?" In actual fact, Mo Wuji wanted to ask about the relationship between blackstones and advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage but he felt that it wasn¡¯t appropriate to ask directly about blackstones here. Even though Wen Lianxi already knew that he came from the Half Immortal Domain, people here didn¡¯t know about it and he couldn¡¯t reveal it now. Wang Hezhen laughed bitterly and said, "I do not even have a Calamity Crossing Pill so I can forget about advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Moreover, so what if I managed to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage? Would I be able to condense immortal lattices? In fact, I wouldn¡¯t even be able to afford one immortal lattice stone. If I am unable to condense the immortal lattices, I will forever be stuck in the Heavenly Immortal Stage and forever be unable to ascend the Immortal Seeking Staircase to enter the true Immortal World¡­" Mo Wuji heard these words and it seemed as though countless of mysteries had been resolved and even more mysteries popped up at the same time. Now, Mo Wuji was certain that the blackstone was the immortal lattice stone and no wonder it was so valuable. It was something to be used for condensing immortal lattices. However, what did Wang Hezhen mean when he said that if one was unable to condense immortal lattice, one wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the true Immortal World? Isn¡¯t this the Immortal World? Mo Wuji really wanted to ask more questions but the restrictions on the entrance of the concoction hall trembled slightly. Manager He and Deacon Wei entered the hall first and stood on both sides of the entrance as a young woman walked in. Noticing the young woman, everyone including Wang Hezhen stood up and bowed, "Greetings Manor Lord." The moment the woman entered, Mo Wuji extended the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to be cautious as he had just arrived at the Hundred Flowers Manor. After all, not everyone was as kind as Wen Lianxi to not harm him even though their deal fell through. Mo Wuji stood up with the rest as he extended his spiritual will concurrently. He didn¡¯t expect the manor lord to be such a young woman and after he followed the rest in greeting the manor lord, he couldn¡¯t help but praise the beauty of this young woman. Especially the delicate and beautiful pair of eyes which was almost like an expanse of limpid water in autumn; so calm yet it brought along traces of solemness which could go undetected. Her fair skin was almost like cream which could be seen from her slightly exposed neck, seemingly smoother than anything he had seen before. She was merely wearing a simple dark coloured dress, a dress which wouldn¡¯t really bring out the beauty of any other woman. However, when she was in this same dress, this dress seemed to exude a fairy-like nature of its own. All these years, clothing had always added colour to human but in this particular case, with this young woman, she brought colour to the clothing. He had only seen such beauty three times: Cen Shuyin, Zhuang Xiyue from the Tian Chi Manor as well as the manor lord in front of him now. Moreover, this manor lord looked slightly more mature for her age and looking at her hair bun, it seemed like she was already married. Mo Wuji was able to detect this woman¡¯s cultivation level easily and she was at most in the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Even though he still had a lot of queries for Wang Hezhen, Mo Wuji knew that this wasn¡¯t the time to ask. Furthermore, what he really wanted to know now was how he could get a copy of the introduction manual of the immortal herbs from the manor lord¡¯s hands. "Are you a newcomer?" The gorgeous woman¡¯s first glance was at the unfamiliar Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji rushed to answer, "Yes, Manor Lord." Deacon Wei hurried to add on, "Manor Lord, this Mo Wuji was brought back by Master Qian Shan and he said that he was a gardener. Afterwhich, I asked him and he told me he even knew how to refine drugs which was why I brought him here. Since we are all part of the manor, I thought it would be convenient to use an extra help here." The woman nodded her head as she knew Deacon Wei¡¯s intention. The fact was that using a gardener to refine drugs for us would be much more cost saving than to hire a drug refiner back. More importantly, she was aware that Deacon Wei couldn¡¯t find anymore drug refiners around. "Show me the drug that you¡¯ve refined," This woman suddenly called out with a poker face. Mo Wuji took out the jade vase beside himself and passed the vase of Immortal Energy Grass solution which he purified earlier on to Deacon Wei. Deacon Wei placed the same vase in front of manor lord. The manor lord nodded and smell the solution as she opened the cap of the vase and smiled after wards. Mo Wuji was surprised too but it wasn¡¯t because of the smile on manor lord¡¯s face but at how daring this Manager He was. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will from his spirit storage channel had already covered this entire place so the moment Manager He¡¯s spiritual will extended out of him, Mo Wuji could notice it straightaway. Even though Manager He¡¯s cultivation level was much higher than his, the purity and density of his spiritual will would never be comparable to Mo Wuji¡¯s. He was able to observe what Manager He was doing but Manager He wouldn¡¯t be able to detect his. Mo Wuji was wondering why Manager He was so daring because Manager He¡¯s spiritual will was actually observing the manor lord and this beautiful manor lord seemed to be clueless about it. Just as the manor lord¡¯s expression changed slightly, he saw that Manager He furrowed his brows. "Your solution is not bad at all as I guess you have achieved about 90% purity," The manor lord handed the jade vase back to Deacon Wei as she nodded at Mo Wuji. After saying this, she seemed to be pondering about something and only after a while, she continued, "Mo Wuji, what is the highest percentage purity can you achieve for a Tier 3 immortal herb? Are you able to achieve about the same standard as this?" If he wasn¡¯t aware that this beautiful manor lord had a peak grade immortal herbs introduction manual on her, Mo Wuji would definitely say no. However, he said without any hesitation, "Manor Lord, what you¡¯ve just saw was my unsuccessful solution. If you let me mature my flame and the environment, I should be able to purify a solution of much higher purity." "How dare you! You are only a gardener and miraculously managed to refine a Tier 1 immortal herb so how dare you talk nonsense about Tier 3 immortal herbs?" Manager He raged angrily after hearing Mo Wuji. After raging, Manager He turned hurriedly to the manor lord and said, "Manor Lord, this Mo Wuji had no idea what he is talking about. He is only a gardener and he actually dared to look down on the skills to purify a Tier 3 immortal herb." Mo Wuji was shocked because who on earth was this Manager He to act like this? The manor lord didn¡¯t even say anything yet he dared to shout like this in front of her. If Mo Wuji was the manor lord, he would have slapped this Manager He and turned him into ashes immediately. It was just purifying a Tier 3 immortal herb, if he couldn¡¯t do it, so be it. Why must Manager He get so agitated? What shocked Mo Wuji even more was that all this beautiful manor lord did was to reveal a slight smile, "Oh, I must have let my imagination ran wild earlier on. Manager He was right, you guys can continue refining the drugs. Deacon Wei, follow me on a trip to the garden will you?" After saying this, the gorgeous manor lord turned and left the hall. Mo Wuji felt that the whole scenario was too absurd and he had nothing to say about this manor lord. He looked at the other drug refiners, including Wang Hezhen, started doing their work after the manor lord left as if this whole incident didn¡¯t happen at all. "A mere gardener and you dare say such things about a Tier 3 immortal herb. You must have big guts but if something like this happens again, I will crush the skull of this ant head of yours," Manager He stared coldly at Mo Wuji. If not for the fact that Mo Wuji still had something to do today, he would have drawn out his Tian Ji Pole and smashed this Manager He into pieces. This Manager He had made a huge mistake to treat Mo Wuji like as if he was as good tempered as the manor lord. "And the few of you, whoever dare to spout nonsense in the future, I will extract out all your bones too," Manager He reprimanded the rest of them as Mo Wuji saw a trace of killing intent in his eyes. After noticing this trace of killing intent, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he immediately used his spirit storage channel and made a spiritual will imprint on Manager He. This Manager He really seemed like he wanted to kill him and if Mo Wuji let such a guy go, he would have wasted all his hard work to reach where he was today. "Brother Wang, I notice that Manager He wasn¡¯t really very respectful towards the manor lord?" After Manager He left, Mo Wuji asked instantly. Wang Hezhen only lowered his head and refused to answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Mo Wuji knew that he should be afraid of offending Manager He so he didn¡¯t continue talking about this as he changed the question, "Brother Wang, is the immortal lattice stone the same as the blackstones from the Half Immortal Domain?" Chapter 451: Inflation Of Immortal Lattice Stones Chapter 451: Inflation Of Immortal Lattice Stones Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Hey, Dao Friend Mo, if you¡¯re willing to listen to me, you should leave immediately." Wang Hezhen didn¡¯t respond to Mo Wuji¡¯s words, but transmitted this message to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also knew that Wang Hezhen wouldn¡¯t dare to reply, so he didn¡¯t ask any further. There¡¯s no need to talk about Wang Hezhen, all the other refiners here were lowering their heads as they examined their ingredients, they all looked like timid people. However, Mo Wuji did not find this fact unsettling. If a person was cooped up here for the entire day doing something monotonous like studying immortal herbs, it was naturally for that person to be cowardly. That pretty manor lord also didn¡¯t seem very assertive; just because of a simple sentence from Manager He, she gave up on questioning him. Mo Wuji guessed that it would be difficult to find her again. Since he was faced with difficulties on both sides, he decided that he should learn the purification methods of Tier 1 to Tier 3 immortal herbs. Might as well; he was going to leave today anyway. He had no reason to fear Manager He; if that Manager He comes to find trouble, then he would just slip away and make himself scarce. Furthermore, when he acted on his own initiative with the high tier immortal herbs, Manager He had already developed a killing intent towards him. Naturally, Manager He wouldn¡¯t let him off. However, Mo Wuji believed that as long at this Manager He wasn¡¯t an idiot, this Manager He wouldn¡¯t act against him within Hundred Flowers Manor. As long as this Manager He followed him out of Hundred Flowers Manor, this date next year would be Manager He¡¯s death anniversary. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji walked to the area with the signs "Tier 2 Immortal Herbs" and "Tier 3 Immortal Herbs" and grabbed some. When they saw Mo Wuji boldly touching Tier 2 and Tier 3 immortal herbs, everyone was stunned. However, no one said anything, nor reported his actions. Ostensibly, these pill refiners might be cowardly, but they were not dogs that simply abided to Manager He¡¯s orders Mo Wuji started with the purification of Tier 1 herbs. After an hour, he started on Tier 2 immortal herbs. After another hour, Mo Wuji started on Tier 3 ones. Including Wang Hezhen, all the pill refiners were dumbfounded by Mo Wuji¡¯s seemingly casual purification of Tier 2 and Tier 3 immortal herbs. None of them were a match for Mo Wuji¡¯s purification method and speed. Just when Wang Hezhen wanted to turn to Mo Wuji for guidance, the Tier 1 immortal herb within Mo Wuji¡¯s hands turned to ash. Immediately, everyone discovered staggeringly that none of the immortal herbs after that herb had been successfully purified. That meant to say, after Mo Wuji¡¯s initial success, he started to fail continuously. However, Mo Wuji continued to unbridledly use the immortal herbs here. Only Mo Wuji knew what was going on. Every time he failed, it was when he was infinitesimally close to 100% purification. If he wasn¡¯t aiming for the perfect 100%, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have failed once. "Bang!" Another purification failed. The smell of char permeated through the air. Following the constant sounds of purification failures, the hearts of everyone in the hall started to palpitate. Failure in purification was permitted here. However, it definitely couldn¡¯t be to the likes of Mo Wuji, with over 100 hundred failures in a row. Standing slightly far away, a young pill refiner was considering whether he should give Mo Wuji a reminder. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had stopped. Mo Wuji did not intend to practise any further. Anyway, 100 over low tier immortal herbs did not even mean much to the Hundred Flowers Manor. "Looks like my alchemy standard is still lacking," Mo Wuji said awkwardly to the rest of the pill refiners as he stood up. "Mo Wuji, follow me out." At the moment, Deacon Wei¡¯s voice sounded at the door. Mo Wuji was already intending to leave. Now that Deacon Wei had called for him, he naturally didn¡¯t hesitate to walk out of the Refinement Hall. When they saw Mo Wuj walk out, all the other pill refiners in the hall heaved a sigh of relief. "I guess that Manager He wouldn¡¯t let him off. He¡¯s really a newborn calf ah." One of the pill refiners sighed and said. ¡­ "Deacon Wei, you¡¯re looking for me? Have I been fired?" Mo Wuji smiled and clasped his fists towards Deacon Wei. He was prepared to get fired. Since that Manager He wanted to kill him, he definitely wouldn''t get any immortal crystals as a severance fee. However, after he asked these questions, Mo Wuji felt that something was amiss. The spiritual will which he imprinted on Manager He did not seem to be within the Hundred Flowers Manor. Soon, Mo Wuji confirmed with his spiritual will imprint that Manager He had left Hundred Flowers Manor. Looks like that fella got lucky, he managed to retain his life. Deacon Wei smiled and patted Mo Wuji''s shoulder, "I''m not the one finding you, it''s the manor lord. Later, when the manor lord is talking to you, you must keep your eyes glued to your toes, and don''t lift your head up, you understand?" The manor lord was looking for him? That beautiful woman? Didn''t she previously say that she was overthinking, why did she want to see him? Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Manager He¡¯s recent departure from the Hundred Flowers Manor; his heart raced briefly. Could the manor lord be waiting for Manager He to leave, before coming to find him? Either way, this was his opportunity. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji said joyfully, "Many thanks Deacon Wei. Rest assured, I definitely wouldn''t anger the manor lord. Oh right, why haven''t I seen Manager He?" "Manager He has gone out to help the manor lord with some business. As long as you follow Manager He''s instructions, Manager He definitely wouldn''t punish you," Deacon Wu pointed towards a gate not far away, "Enter that gate, the manor lord will be waiting for you there." Mo Wuji thanked Deacon Wei once more, and walked towards the gate. Just as he reached the gate, he heard the manor lord''s melodic voice from within, "Is this Drug Master Mo? Please come in." The moment Mo Wuji entered, he saw the pretty manor lord looking at him at the center of the living room. Beside the manor lord, there was a young girl wearing a blue dress. Seeing Mo Wuji enter, the pretty manor lord hurriedly stood up, "Drug Master Mo is here, please take a sit. Ding Ding, quickly pour Drug Master Mo a cup of tea." Mo Wuji was slightly doubtful. He had called himself a mere gardener for the Hundred Flowers Manor. This pretty manor lord seemed to be too polite to him. Even if in terms of purification, he had only purified a Tier 1 immortal herb previously, and the purification had only barely achieved 90%. The only explanation was, this woman really believed his words that he could purify Tier 3 immortal herbs, and at an even higher degree of purity. Ding Ding soon served Mo Wuji a cup of spiritual tea. Mo Wuji did not drink it; he only needed to feel the breath from the tea to know that it was brewed using immortal tea leaves. "Drug Master Mo, please enjoy the tea," The pretty manor lord said gently. "Many thanks." Mo Wuji was also rather interested in trying this tea. After a word of thanks, he raised his tea cup and downed it. The pretty manor lord stared at Mo Wuji blankly; she had never seen a person drink tea in such a manner. Even though this sort of immortal tea leaves did not count much for those in the Immortal Realm, it was already considered top grade for an average immortal. To actually be downed like that, that¡¯s simply¡­ Rich immortal energy filled all the meridians in Mo Wuji¡¯s body. In this instant, he did not cultivate but he could feel his cultivation rising steadily. This was some good stuff; to think that there was such good tea. If not for the fact that it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate, Mo Wuji would have immediately started cultivating. Fortunately, even without cultivating, Mo Wuji¡¯s reverse circulation technique would constantly raise Mo Wuji¡¯s power. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, his cultivation reached the intermediate Earthly Immortal Stage Level 12. Only then, did Mo Wuji let out a breath of air. He clasped his fists towards the waiting manor lord and said, "Because I was from a small place, I didn¡¯t get to see much of the world. It was rare for me to get to drink such a good cup of tea, which was why I had to make manor lord wait for so long." He actually didn¡¯t feel awkward about his actions. As for his uncouth action which spoiled the atmosphere, he had already cast it aside. To maximise the effects of this sort of tea, he had to down it in one big gulp. If he were to take tiny sips at a time, he would be wasting most of the immortal energy. When the manor lord heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she smiled faintly, then continued to speak with a gentle voice, "Drug Master Mo is too polite. My name is Han Qingru. Drug Master Mo can directly call me by my name." "May I know why Manor Lord Han is looking for me?" Mo Wuji naturally wouldn¡¯t call her by her given name. Those words of Han Qingru were simply to pull their ties closer. In his heart, he was thinking about whether he needed pills to support his cultivation. Because he created his own cultivation method, and had so many meridians which were in reverse circulation simultaneously, he had never needed pills for his cultivation. He only needed a source of spiritual energy. But after drinking a cup of the spiritual tea, he knew that if he were to use pills to compliment his use of immortal crystals, his cultivation would be even faster. "Is Drug Master Mo really able to purify Tier 3 immortal herbs with a degree of 90%?" Han Qingru asked. Mo Wuji thought that the other party would beat around the bush before asking the question. Now that Han Qingru had directly cut right to the question, Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of her improved. Since everyone knew the reason why they were here, they could be more straightforward. "I can," Mo Wuji said resolutely. "Then can it be higher? Or can I ask, what¡¯s the highest degree of purity that you can reach with Tier 3 immortal herbs?" Mo Wuji remained silent. He did not know what benefits Han Qingru could give him. If there weren¡¯t any benefits, then he would simply claim that he could only reach 90%. Han Qingru clearly understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s silence, "Dao Friend Mo, you should be in the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage, with just a single step into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, right? If you are able to purify Tier 3 immortal herbs to a degree of over 90%, no, as long as you can reach 90%, I would definitely reward you. Whether you want immortal herbs, or immortal crystals, I would be able to help you." "I wonder if I can get some immortal lattice stones?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. When Han Qingru heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she furrowed her brows. After some time, she finally said, "Dao Friend Mo, I know that you are going to advance to the Heavenly Immortal Stage, and would need some immortal lattice stones to condense your immortal lattice. It¡¯s just that immortal lattice stones are extremely hard to get right now. I heard that the Half Immortal Domain is collapsing, and the price of immortal lattice stones is inflating by several folds. But if you want immortal lattice stones, I am able to get you some." When Mo Wuji heard this, he was sure that blackstones were immortal lattice stones. "Manor lord, Manger He has returned." Deacon Wei¡¯s voice sounded outside the door. Chapter 452: The Incident In The Manor Chapter 452: The Incident In The Manor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even without the report from Deacon Wei, Mo Wuji could already feel his spiritual will imprint approaching rapidly. When Han Qingru heard these words, her face changed drastically. She immediately stood up and subconsciously muttered to herself, "Didn¡¯t I send him to Yong Ying Immortal Pier?" She soon came to an understanding that now was not a time to be worried about such matters. She urgently turned to Ding Ding, "Ding Ding, bring Dao Friend Mo upstairs to hide. Hurry." "Ah¡­" Ding Ding stuttered in astonishment. Before she could say anything, Han Qingru nudged her, "Hurry." "Dao Friend Mo, I have to trouble you to hide for awhile. We will continue our talk later. I¡¯m truly sorry," Han QIngru apologized to Mo Wuji; anxiety could be seen in her eyes. "No worries." Mo Wuji smiled and followed Ding Ding upstairs. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seems. Even if this Manager He really wanted to control the Hundred Flowers Sect, he didn¡¯t believe that Han Qingru would behave so anxiously in front of him. This Manager He was merely a Heavenly Immortal, but it¡¯s still unknown whether he had already condensed his immortal lattice. Because he felt that this matter wasn¡¯t simple, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything much, but took the initiative to follow Ding Ding. Just when Mo Wuji reached upstairs, Manager He walked in. He didn¡¯t even pay any greetings as he entered. When he saw that Han Qingru was the only person in the room, he hurriedly gave a modest bow, "Shufeng greets the manor lord." Han Qingru said indifferently, "Manager He, you¡¯re back from Yong Ying Immortal Pier?" Manager He hurriedly said, "Just when I left, I remembered that there was something that I had left undone. Thus, I hurried back here. At the same time, I wanted to tell the manor lord that I will be running the errand at Yong Ying Immortal Pier tomorrow." Han Qingru nodded, "Since that¡¯s the case, you can leave first." "Yes." When Manager He left, his gaze landed on the teacup that Mo Wuji just drank from. A trace of malice flashed across his eyes. After Manager He left, Han Qingru hurried upstairs. ¡­ Manager He walked quickly back to his house. Not long later, a grey robed servant walked in and asked, "Manager, why didn''t you drag that fella out?" "Did you see him leave?" Manager He asked with a solemn expression. The grey robed servant hurriedly said, "No, I''m sure that Mo Wuji did not leave. The moment he entered, I sent you a message. Thereafter, I have always been observing from the outside. However, when you returned, that old b*stard, Wei Wu, reported it." Manager He nodded, "I understand. He Tun, go back and keep watch outside of the manor lord''s residences. The moment that Mo Wuji comes out, inform me immediately. I originally wanted to let him live for a few more days, but that fella is clearly looking for death, to think that he would dare enter the manor lord''s room." "Should we inform the master?" When the grey robed servant heard those words, he hurriedly whispered. Manager He snorted, "You may not care about your life, but I do. Idiot, that Mo Wuji didn''t leave, and my spiritual will was unable to find him. Clearly, he was hidden in the manor lord''s room. We will wait till we kill that fella, then tell the master that this fella wanted to get close to the manor lord, which was why we killed him. Not only wouldn''t we get in trouble, we would even be rewarded." The grey robed servant instantly understood. They definitely couldn''t inform the master now. The master had instructed them to keep watch on the manor lord. If the master were to know that a man had entered the manor lord''s room, that Mo Wuji would definitely die. They would also get into trouble. At this moment, a red light descended on Manager He''s hand. It was a flying messenger sword. Manager He grabbed the flying messenger sword; his face changed drastically, even his legs were quivering slightly as he said, "Master already knows that a man has entered the manor lord''s room¡­" "Ah¡­" Not just Manager He, even He Tun¡¯s face turned pale. "This b*stard, I knew I should have gotten rid of home a long time ago." With that, Manager He charged out. He knew that he wouldn''t be out of trouble if he were to kill Mo Wuji now, but if he didn''t kill Mo Wuji, he would be the one who would be killed. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji entered a room, he knew that it was Han Qingru¡¯s boudoir. A faint fragrance filled the air, causing Mo Wuji''s mind to wander. At this instant, he seemed to recall something from the past. Shaking his head, he cast these unnecessary thoughts to the side. His spirit storage channel''s spiritual will had already extended outwards; he wanted to know the exact role that Manager He played within Hundred Flowers Manor. A faint outline of a flying sword flashed by the boundaries of Mo Wuji''s spiritual will. This was a flying messenger sword? What left Mo Wuji doubtful was, the person who sent the flying messenger sword was the person who was by the manor lord''s side, Ding Ding. Moreover, Mo Wuji was sure that Ding Ding did not inform Han Qingru before sending the flying messenger sword. Not only that, she had sent the sword out while she was hiding in a corner. Just when Mo Wuji was suspecting who Ding Ding was sending this flying messenger sword to, the restrictions on the room opened, and Han Qingru walked in. "Sorry, Drug Master Mo. I have implicated you." "No worries, was that Manager He? At the most, I would just leave from this place, I¡¯ve not been implicated," Mo Wuji said calmly. Han Qingru sighed, "He''s just a dog, I was referring to his master. I always thought that He Tun was a person of the Hundred Flowers Manor. Only now, did I discover that He Tun was just monitoring you. I say that I''ve implicated you, because the moment you leave my residences, Manager He would act against you. He should know that you''re here, and I''m also not able to help you." If there was a second chance, she definitely wouldn''t have called Mo Wuji over. Mo Wuji was now on alert. If he was facing Manager He alone, he would not have any reason to fear. But if Manager He had a backer, then he definitely couldn''t stay in Hundred Flowers Manor; he would be surrounded by enemies. "Boom!" Just when Mo Wuji thought that he should leave immediately, a beam of sword light slashed through the restrictions on Han Qingru''s room. Han Qingru stared at Manager He, who was wielding a sword at the entrance of the door, and shouted angrily, "He Shufeng, what galls! You actually dared to destroy the restrictions on my room." Hearing Han Qingru''s angry scolding, Manager He bowed and said, "Manor Lord, I''m here to catch Mo Wuji. This person had wasted immortal herbs in a wanton manner, and now he even dares to trespass in the manor lord''s room. He must not be spared." Han Qingru was angered till she started to tremble. She pointed her finger towards He Shufeng, "I''m the manor lord of the Hundred Flowers Manor. If I want to invite someone into my room, do I need the permission of a mere manager like you?" "He Shufeng, get lost." When Ding Ding saw He Shufeng destroy the restrictions to the room, she hurried to stand in front of Han Qingru. At the same time, she scolded He Shufeng harshly. Mo Wuji glanced slightly towards Ding Ding. This woman was not simple. Just now, she had secretly sent a flying messenger sword to some unknown person, and now, she was pushing Han Qingru to the side. On the surface, she looked like she was trying to protect Han Qingru from Manager He. But in reality, this woman was trying to create a pathway for He Shufeng to attack him. Mo Wuji had already seen through this. It was exactly as Han Qingru said; Manager He was just a dog. Since he was a dog, he definitely wouldn''t act against Han Qingru. Ding Ding''s actions were deliberately asking for Manager He to kill him. "Today, I will let you know the consequences of offending the Hundred Flowers Manor¡­" As Manager He spoke, the longsword in his hand had already conjured a sword beam which raced towards Mo Wuji. "Stop¡­" Han Qingru¡¯s anxious cry was only uttered after the sword beam was formed. She was completely unable to stop Manager He''s sword beam. Mo Wuji finally noticed that this manor lord''s cultivation seemed to be empty; she was completely unable to display her power. A mere Manager He with a scattered spirituality; even if this Manager He was at the Heavenly Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t fear him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bring out his Tian Ji Pole as he charged straight towards the sword beam, lifting his hand and shooting two lightning swords. "Boom!" "Kacha!" The lightning sword clashed against the sword beam, exploding within Han Qingru''s room. "Bang!" In that simple exchange, Manager He was sent flying by Mo Wuji''s violent lightning sword. Mo Wuji took a step forward, sending forth another lightning sword. Manager He stared sluggishly towards Mo Wuji. This was a mere Earthly Immortal that only had a storage bag, how could he be so impressive? He was sure that Mo Wuji''s elemental energy had yet to convert to immortal elemental energy; he was definitely still in the Earthly Immortal Stage. "Pui!" Mo Wuji''s lightning sword directly sliced Manager He''s into two. Everyone stared in aghast. A gardener that had just arrived, had actually killed a manager in the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Moreover, it was done in two simple moves. This was clearly a battle of two people at different levels, and the person who won this battle, was actually the one at the lower cultivation level. Mo Wuji was speechless. He was sure that with Manager He''s level of power, he would be able to kill a whole group of Manager He''s even when he was in Half Immortal Domain. After some time, Han Qingru came to her senses. She said hurriedly, "Drug Master Mo, you should leave first." She knew that Mo Wuji would only be waiting for death if he continued to stay here. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. He knew that this Han Qingru was kind, but unfortunately, she didn¡¯t know that almost everyone around her was monitoring her. "Manor lord, I will inform Deacon Wei, and try to drag the time¡­" Ding Ding uttered. She did not even wait for Han Qingru to respond before she rushed out urgently. "Drug Master Mo, you should hurry and leave, I¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Han Qingru¡¯s words, "Manor Lord Han, even though I don¡¯t know who¡¯s watching you, but I would suggest that you follow me and leave Hundred Flowers Manor." He could feel that this manor lord would not come to a good end by staying here. Han Qingru shook her head, took out a talisman and handed it to Mo Wuji, "If I could leave, I would have done that a long time ago. There¡¯s a spiritual will imprint on me. The moment I leave, I would soon be discovered. I have an escape talisman here, you can use it." "If Manor Lord Han believes me, I can help remove that imprint for you. But I can only do that after we leave Hundred Flowers Manor." Mo Wuji did not accept the escape talisman. He wasn¡¯t boasting when he said these words. Those years ago, Broken Sect had concealed a terrifying imprint on him, and he was still able to remove it. Now, wasn¡¯t his cultivation and array knowledge at least a hundred times better? He didn¡¯t believe that a mere imprint would faze him. "You¡¯re really able to help me remove the imprint?" Han Qingru asked in pleasant surprise. Mo Wuji nodded, "I¡¯m sure I can do it." "Then we¡¯ll wait till Ding Ding returns, then we will leave immediately." Han Qingru was so excited that her voice was even quivering. One could clearly see how desperately she wanted to leave this place. Mo Wuji said solemnly, "If we wait for Ding Ding to return, then we can forget about leaving." Chapter 453: Heavenly Immortal Domain Chapter 453: Heavenly Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Han Qingru was not an idiot; she understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words. She looked towards Mo Wuji with greater astonishment. Ding Ding had followed her since she was young, why could Ding Ding betray her? "Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m leaving first." Han Qingru¡¯s personality was not bad, which was why Mo Wuji wanted to help her. But after he reminded her, she was still hesitating. There was no point in him persuading her any further. Thus, Mo Wuji turned and prepared to leave. Even though Manager He¡¯s power wasn¡¯t much, for a Heavenly Immortal like him to be a person¡¯s lapdog, that person definitely wasn¡¯t a person that Mo Wuji felt like he could deal with. Han Qingru anxiously pulled on Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes, "Please take me with you. I believe you." Mo Wuji was slightly startled; he was slighltly confused as to why Han Qingru would suddenly believe him. However, he did not think too much into it, but simply nodded and said, "Then follow me." The entire garden was filled with arrays. Fortunately, Mo Wuji was adept with arrays, and coupled with the fact that he had researched on the arrays here for close to ten days, he was soon able to find a path within the sea of flowers. "It¡¯s not this way, the main entrance is that way." Seeing Mo Wuji try to walk through the sea of flowers, Han Qingru reminded with anxiety. Mo Wuji did not show any intentions of stopping. He explained, "If we take the main entrance, then we really wouldn¡¯t be able to escape." Ever since he started suspecting Ding Ding, Mo Wuji had placed an imprint on Ding Ding¡¯s body. At this instant, that imprint was stationed by the side of the main entrance. Ostensibly, Ding Ding was waiting for them there. Regardless of what Ding Ding¡¯s true abilities were, Mo Wuji did not believe that Ding Ding would be waiting for them at the main entrance by herself. Moreover, Mo Wuji had also made sense of the situation. Ding Ding¡¯s flying messenger sword must have been to the expert behind Manager He. If he were to bring Han Qingru to leave through the main entrance, as long as Ding Ding could delay them for a short moment of time, then wouldn¡¯t that expert arrive to stop them? "Ah¡­" Han Qingru uttered subconsciously; she felt a tight grip around her waist. Mo Wuji had already grabbed her by the waist; their figures were flashing through the sea of flowers. The instant Mo Wuji hugged her waist, Han Qingru felt her entire body turn stiff. She even subconsciously wanted to push Mo Wuji away. Fortunately, she understood that Mo Wuji only did this because he felt that she was too slow. Indeed, Mo Wuji¡¯s next words were, "We need to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to escape." To Mo Wuji, he really didn¡¯t care much about hugging Han Qingru¡¯s waist. At this kind of situation, how could he think of such matters? But after he actually grabbed Han Qingru¡¯s waist, Mo Wuji discovered that Han Qingru¡¯s waist seemed like it was boneless; it was so soft. "How did you get so familiar to the arrays and restrictions here?" Han Qingru ignored the fact that Mo Wuji was grabbing her waist, and asked in surprise. "I¡¯m slightly knowledgeable with arrays. When I came in, I studied a bit of the arrays here." Mo Wuji cast his previous thoughts aside. As he answered Han Qingru¡¯s questions, he was speeding through the ocean of flowers. In a short period of time, they had reached the edge. This place in front of him looked like the walls to the Hundred Flowers Manor. But in reality, Mo Wuji knew that it was a trap array. Because the boundaries of this trap array was slightly big, its grade was affected. An array of this grade posed no problems to Mo Wuji. "There¡¯s a trap array here." Just as Mo Wuji placed her down, Han Qingru reminded him urgently. She was worried that Mo Wuji would simply force his way through this place. The moment he forcefully entered the trap array, he would immediately trigger the restrictions in the entire flower garden. By then, even a fool would know that the two of them were trying to escape. "I know." As Mo Wuji spoke, he fetched out 10 array flags and threw them down. A few minutes later, he lifted his hands and did a ripping motion. A small opening appeared in front of the two of them. Han Qingru stared at that opening in astonishment. Before she could even say anything, she felt a tight grip on her waist again; Mo Wuji brought her and charged out of the flower garden. An exquisite flying car appeared in front of them. Thereafter, Mo Wuji brought her into the car. The flying car flashed into a shadow, leaving Hundred Flowers Manor far behind them. "Are you an array master?" Han Qingru finally came to her senses, and she stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief. Even an idiot wouldn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji was a gardener. Could a gardener be able to possess a flying treasure that was quasi-immortal grade? Mo Wuji waved his hand, "We¡¯ll talk about this later. Now, I need to help you to remove the imprint." With that, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even wait for Han Qingru to agree before he grabbed her wrist. This matter not only involved Han Qingru¡¯s life; it involved his life as well. He did not have time to wait for Han Qingru to agree. If Han Qingru didn¡¯t agree then he would politely invite her out of the car. He had just arrived at Immortal Domain, he was not going to die wrongfully like this. Han Qingru seemed to know what Mo Wuji was doing, so she didn¡¯t say anything. The moment Mo Wuji grabbed Han Qingru¡¯s wrist, his detoxification meridian was able to detect the imprint within Han Qingru¡¯s body. This imprint was even poisonous. Even though it was similar to other imprints, this one was actually more dangerous. This poisonous imprint had actually constricted Han Qingru¡¯s cultivation. Mo Wuji circulated with his detoxification meridian. In a few simple minutes, the poison with Han Qingru¡¯s body was swept away, together with the spiritual will imprint. At the same time, he stored it within a jade box, and quickly formed seals over the box. The sensation of elemental energy, which she hadn¡¯t felt for a long time, spread throughout her body. Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji blankly. She had tried many means to remove the imprint on her body to no avail. But this Earthly Immortal in front of her was actually able to remove it so easily? In her agitation, Han Qingru didn¡¯t even get to express her gratitude when she saw Mo Wuji¡¯s face change. "Boom!" A violent explosion burst in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car. Mo Wuji waved his hand, alighting the flying car together with Han Qingru, and sending his flying car back into his storage. Just now, he was preoccupied with helping Han Qingru remove the imprint, so he wasn¡¯t able to notice that some pursuers had already approached them. Almost at the same instant, a flying ship landed in front of Mo Wuji and Han Qingru, blocking their path. Two man jumped out from the flying ship. These two looked very similar, they both had a square face and slitted eyes. The only difference was that one of them had hair, while the other was bald. Originally, Han Qingru was ecstatic that she had recovered her cultivation. But after seeing these two people, her face went pale again. She subconsciously took a few steps back and stood beside Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji opened his palm, and Tian Ji Pole appeared in his hands. He could feel that even though these two people were also in the Heavenly Immortal Stage, they were multiple times stronger than that Manager He. "A mere Earthly Immortal is able to run so far. You¡¯re not bad." The one speaking was the bald man. "This two people are the Ying Bian Twin Assassins. We won¡¯t be able to escape. I will block them, you¡­" A trace of remorse could be heard in Han Qingru¡¯s voice. If she wasn¡¯t with Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji should be able to escape by himself. Mo Wuji did not even wait for Han Qingru to finish her sentence, he brought his Tian Ji Pole and swung it towards the bald man. He knew what Han Qingru was going to say; but he wasn¡¯t such a wimp that he had to depend on a woman to provide him a chance to escape. Mo Wuji was only halfway there, when he suddenly felt the space around him turn heavy. It felt like the surrounding area did not belong to him; his entire body slowed down. "Boom!" The Tian Ji Pole slammed against a saber; elemental energy exploded. Violent elemental energy surged towards him. Mo Wuji felt as though his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer. There was even a trace of fire energy in that attack. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk, he could clearly feel that the power of his Tian Ji Pole had been halved when he was in that heavy space. If not for that, he wouldn¡¯t have suffered so badly. Mo Wuji had originally intended for that pole to be a probing attack. Now, he knew that he was not a match for the two of them. Han Qingru hurried to support Mo Wuji. She said anxiously, "These two are the Ying Bian Twin Assassins, Ji Yan and Ji Zhao. They have already condensed a portion of their immortal lattice. Just now, you had charged into their Heavenly Immortal Domain¡­" Heavenly Immortal Domain? These three words were like a faint light that flashed across Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. Unfortunately, that light was too fast, and he was unable to grasp it. "Manor Lord Han, please stand by the side. If anything were to happen to you, we brothers aren¡¯t able to take the punishment," The bald man that sent Mo Wuji flying with a single move said indifferently. Mo Wuji had a rough estimate in his heart. He believed that his actual capabilities weren¡¯t like what he had displayed just now. He shouldn¡¯t be too far off from the bald man. "Let me, Ji Yan, see how good you are. To even touch the person that Master Lao likes¡­" The bald man charged towards Mo Wuji in a straightforward manner, swinging his saber forward. There was a trace of contempt in his eyes; clearly, he didn¡¯t place Mo Wuji in his eyes. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have attacked in such a wanton manner. Mo Wuji knew that he had to kill one of the two as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to escape. The restrains from the domain swept by. Once again, Mo Wuji was trapped in the opponent¡¯s space. Chapter 454: Pursued Chapter 454: Pursued Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In that instant, Mo Wuji was able to deduce that the best method to tear apart his opponent''s domain, was to use a stronger domain. However, he didn''t even have a dogsh*t domain, so how was he going to do that? "Stop, I will follow you¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji restrained by Ji Yan¡¯s domain, Han Qingru was distressed. She brought out a jade ruler and charged over. However, she only took a few steps before she was stopped by Ji Zhao. Mo Wuji''s 107 meridians went into furious, reverse circulation. All the elemental energy around him surged like violent waves. If he didn¡¯t break through his opponent¡¯s domain, then even if he could move grudgingly, he would still end up dead "Boom!" A faint light emerged from Mo Wuji''s body. This light burst forth like a rainbow, directly forming fractures within Ji Yan''s domain. "Extreme Stage Spirit Halo?" Ji Yan cried out in alarm. As a Heavenly Immortal cultivator, he was clear of what that spiritual rainbow which burst from Mo Wuji was. It was the spirit halo of the Extreme Heaven Stage. After the Extreme Stage Spirit Halo tore Ji Yan''s domain apart, Mo Wuji instantly felt lighter. He swept forth with his Nirvana Pole Shadow, and a Next Pole appeared behind Ji Yan''s neck. "Crack!" At almost the same instant, a beam of light shot out from Ji Yan''s waist region, blocking Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pole. Mo Wuji sighed. The Next Pole was a silent pole, soundless and deadly. With this attack, he was able to ambush do many people in Zhen Xing. But now, it was easily blocked by Ji Yan. This made Mo Wuji understand, his Nirvana Pole Shadow might be strong, but his level in the skill was too low. "So what if you have the Extreme Stage Spirit Halo?" Ji Yan snorted; his figure twisted in mid air as his saber transformed into a river of sabers which surged towards Mo Wuji. At this instant, Mo Wuji''s eyes were filled with layers upon layers of intersecting saber light. These saber light surged towards Mo Wuji like a raging river. Mo Wuji calmed down. This was the first time he felt that a pole was not suitable for him. The saber river had yet to descend but Mo Wuji already started to feel waves of pricks all over his skin. He pushed his Nirvana Pole Shadow to the max. His pole shadows extended and continuously superposed to form layers on top of one another, defending against that saber river. At the same time, Mo Wuji constantly formed hand seals with his two hands. One lightning web after another formed behind the pole shadows to defend against the saber light which broke through his pole shadows. Elemental energy instantly exploded, as lightning and saber light whistled into the surroundings. Lightning-type cultivator? Seeing Mo Wuj¡¯s lightning web, Ji Yan¡¯s eyes widened in shock. Mo Wuji knew that his escape depended on this next instant. If his opponent really started to view him highly, then his opponent wouldn¡¯t simply let him escape. After he formed the hand seals, he immediately charged towards the midst of the lightning webs, lifting his hand and twisiting it in an enigmatic semi-circle manner. Spatial imprisonment! As Ji Yan suddenly felt the space around him solidifying, his face changed. This definitely wasn¡¯t a domain, but a spatial sacred art. Ji Yan could no longer care about his saber river as he furiously ignited his vital blood essence, attempting to struggle free from this spatial imprisonment. Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned increasingly pale. Against an expert with a Heavenly Immortal Domain, his spatial imprisonment could only last for a short moment, and it required much more energy. But since he had already displayed his spatial imprisonment, how could he simply let his opponent go. If he didn¡¯t use his killer move before his opponent breaks out of his spatial imprisonment, then he could only wait for death. A thick lightning sword shot forth, at almost the same instant Ji Yan broke free from the spatial imprisonment. The lightning sword pierced through Ji Yan¡¯s heart. His Tian Ji Pole quickly followed suit, directly smashing against Ji Yan¡¯s forehead. A mist of blood burst forth. "I¡¯m going to devour you¡­" As he saw Ji Yan getting killed, Ji Zhao no longer cared about sparing anyone. His Heavenly Immortal Domain easily shattered apart Han Qingru¡¯s weak one, the giant scissors in his hand cut towards Han Qingru¡¯s waist. Even though Han Qingru¡¯s elemental energy had been ignited to the max, she was still unable to completely escape from this slash. "Pui!" The giant scissors lacerated a huge and deep scar on Han Qingru¡¯s waist. If Han Qingru wasn¡¯t quick with her escape, that slash would have been enough to cut her in half. A mist of blood spurted out from Han Qingru¡¯s waist as she anxiously retreated. Ji Zhao then furiously pounced towards Mo Wuji. While his domain swept towards Mo Wuji, his giant scissors had already formed ten beams of cold, sharp light which shot towards Mo Wuji¡¯s back. Even though Mo Wuji knew that Ji Zhao would come attacking, he truly didn¡¯t have the ability to dodge the attack. He had already used most of his elemental energy killing Ji Zhao, and he didn¡¯t even have the time to deal with Ji Zhao¡¯s domain before these ten huge scissors light shot towards him. "Drug Master Mo¡­" The ten beams of light stabbed through Mo Wuji, as his entire body got enveloped in a fog of blood. From afar, Han Qingru cried out in alarm, completely neglecting her own injuries. "I will make sure that you die slowly¡­" Ji Zhao¡¯s eyes, which were full of tears, started straight towards Mo Wuji. The giant scissors in his hands now formed a huge scissors shadow which was 30 meters wide, slashing towards Mo Wuji¡¯s waist. He wanted to first cut Mo Wuji in half, then slowly let Mo Wuji deplete his elemental energy and bleed to death. Mo Wuji slowly turned his head. Even though he had used most of his elemental energy, he still had three elemental storage channels and one spirit storage channel. A bright rainbow halo burst forth, directly tearing Ji Zhao¡¯s domain apart. At the same time, Mo Wuji punched forward. When he was crossing the Immortal Chasm, this was the sacred art that he gained enlightenment on - Merging his heavenly fire with his fist. With this sacred art, he was able to blast away countless of Gui Water Spiders and Yin Fire Centipedes with a single fist. It was just that he was heavily injured by the radiant blade array right after he entered the Immortal Domain, and then he entered Hundred Flowers Manor straight after. Thus, he never had the chance to try his hand at this sacred art. But now that his life was at stake, how could he still care about that? "Boom!" Searing hot fire was blasted out by this punch. Ji Zhao instantly felt like the entire space around him was burning. A sense of impending doom filled his heart. Even though he wanted to cut Mo Wuji in half, he had to retract his giant scissors to defend against this fire-type attack. A terrifying explosion could be heard as the flames from the fist filled the air. All of Ji Zhao¡¯s clothes were instantly burned to ash. Ji Zhao heaved a sigh of relief; he knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental energy was completely depleted, and this terrifying punch must have been at the expense of his life force. At this moment, he saw Mo Wuji punch once more, no, he saw Mo Wuji punching twice consecutively. The entire top of Ji Zhao¡¯s head went numb; How could this be¡­ "Boom! Boom!" Two fists merged with heavenly fire crashed against Ji Zhao¡¯s chest. Ji Zhao felt as though his mind had turned sluggish as his entire body was sent flying backwards, exploding in mid air. Mo Wuji coughed out a mouthful of blood and sat paralysed on the floor. He had three elemental storage channels; even though he had run out of elemental energy, he was still able to punch out three times. Everything happened in an instant. By the time Han Qingru reacted, everything had already ended, and she hurried to support Mo Wuji up. Mo Wuji swallowed a few healing pills and said hoarsely, "Take the storage rings, then let¡¯s go." Mo Wuji had done such things many times over, but this was actually Han Qingru¡¯s first time. She only knew what she should do after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words. She hurriedly went to take the two storage rings from the Ji brothers. By this time, Mo Wuji had already fetched out his flying car. "Drug Master Mo, you¡­" Han Qingru had personally seen ten beams of scissors light stab through Mo Wuji¡¯s body; she was sure that Mo Wuji was heavily injured. Mo Wuji coughed out another mouthful of blood. He knew that he was fine. Even though he was currently unable to move, he would gradually recover within a few days. He was different from other people; he possessed the vitality channel. Mo Wuji took out another top grade flying treasure. He struggled to place an Earth grade spirit stone in the energy groove of the flying treasure, then threw the jade box with Han Qingru¡¯s spiritual imprint into the flying treasure, and activated it. The flying treasure swiftly sped off into the distance. After doing all this, Mo Wuji say weakly, "You control the flying car. Change the direction and escape in that direction. Remember, don¡¯t fly for more than two days straight¡­" After saying these words, Mo Wuji no longer had any energy, as he collapsed within the flying car. Han Qingru was also heavily injured, but as compared to Mo Wuji, her injuries were much smaller. She immediately understood Mo Wuji¡¯s meaning, as she hurried to control the flying car. She changed the direction, then sped off. ¡­ By the time Mo Wuji woke up, he found that the surroundings were pitch black. He immediately scanned around with his spiritual will, and instantly discovered Han Qingru beside him. "You¡¯re awake." The moment Mo Wuji moved, Han Qingru was awakened, and she asked in pleasant surprise. "This is a cave?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Han Qingru hurriedly answered, "En, I did as you said and flew for two days. During these two days, you had always been unconscious. We are now at the periphery of Five Lotus Mountain. I don''t dare to enter Five Lotus Mountain, so I could only find a cave around the periphery." Mo Wuji glanced at the restrictions outside, and he immediately knew that Han Qingru''s arrays couldn''t make it. However, he was quite satisfied with the location; it was actually a fracture within the canyon. He never thought that Han Qingru could actually find such a concealed spot. He did not ask Han Qingru how she managed to find it, but threw out a number of array flags. Within one hour, Mo Wuji had completely improved the restrictions on the cave. Even though she knew that Mo Wuji was adept with arrays, when she saw Mo Wuji improved her restrictions by more than ten folds within an hour, Han Qingru could not help but feel her face turn red. She guessed that Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator. She possessed so many cultivation resources, but she wasn''t even comparable to a rogue cultivator. "I''ve been unconscious for two days?" After improving the restrictions on the cave, Mo Wuji asked. Han Qingru nodded, "Yes. After two days of flying, we reached this place. I''ve been to this place once before, it''s called Five Lotus Mountain. Only my father and I know of this cave, that''s why I immediately hid here." Han Qingru''s heart was filled with doubt. She had examined Mo Wuji''s injuries; he definitely wouldn''t have been able to wake up after two days. Even if he woke up, Mo Wuji definitely shouldn''t have been able to install the array. But in reality, not only did Mo Wuji wake up, he looked fine. "Thank you. If not for you, I guess that I would have probably lost my life," Mo Wuji thanked. "I should be the one thanking you. If you didn''t bring me away, I would have eventually become that person''s plaything." Han Qingru shook her head. Mo Wuji did not continue on the topic. The reason why he thanked Han Qingru was because if not for her, he definitely wouldn''t have been able to escape from the Ji brothers¡¯ pursuit. It was natural for them to help each other. "Manor Lord Han, can you tell me who wants to make you a plaything?" Mo Wuji asked as he ate some healing pills. Chapter 455: Grass, Wood, Stone Chapter 455: Grass, Wood, Stone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Han Qingru shook her head, "Pill Master Mo, knowing it would only harm you." Mo Wuji said calmly, "I need to know. I implore Manor Lord Han to tell me." He did not want to ask these question merely because of gossip. Now that he had killed the Ji brothers and had brought Han Qingru away, he didn''t believe that the other party would spare him. Facing such a huge enemy, he would not be able to sleep well at night if he didn''t even know his enemy''s name. Han Qingru understood; she promptly said, "He is Manager Lao Cai of Ying Bian City¡¯s He Lian Merchant House and the Ying Bian Twin Assassins were his hired hands. He is so powerful, he could control almost everything in Ying Bian City...." "Wait wait, Manor Lord Han, a mere manager of a merchant house can control an immortal city within the Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji interrupted Han Qingru¡¯s words. Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Drug Master Mo, if you think highly of me, then just call me Senior Sister Qingru. After today, I don¡¯t even want to think about Hundred Flowers Manor, must less talk about it." "Doesn¡¯t the Hundred Flowers Manor belong to you? Why do you say that?" After Mo Wuji asked those questions, he knew that he was talking about the wrong topic. He hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Qingru, then you don¡¯t have to call me Drug Master Mo. I¡¯m not some drug refiner." "En, then I will call you Junior Brother Mo." Han Qingru did not explain anything about the Hundred Flowers Manor. Instead, she said, "He Lian Merchant House is actually a branch from the Immortal World¡¯s He Lian Merchant Union. Even the castellan of Ying Bian City has to show face to He Lian Merchant House. And that Lao Cai¡¯s cultivation has even reached the advanced Golden Immortal Stage, and possesses He Lian Merchant House¡¯s regulation talisman." The questions that Mo Wuji wanted to ask continued to pile up inside his head, like what¡¯s the difference between Immortal Domain and Immortal World, and what kind of immortal was a Golden Immortal. However, he also knew that he had to ask these questions slowly, and he couldn¡¯t expect to bombard Han Qingru with all these questions. Han Qingru was unaware that Mo Wuji was completely clueless about everything, as she continued to say, "Because Lao Cai has the regulation talisman, he was able to stay in Ying Bian City, and is even able to go wherever he likes while he is here. Due to some unknown reason, he got wind that the Hundred Flowers Manor has the book, [Grass, Wood, Stone], and he immediately coveted it. Before he could even act, the Hundred Flower Manor knew that their possession of the [Grass, Wood, Stone] had been leaked. Because the young manor lord of Hundred Flowers Sect had always been obsessed about me, he actually insidiously turned to my step-mother and requested for my hand in marriage, wanting me to marry into the Hundred Flowers Manor. The dowry was the [Grass, Wood, Stone] book. My step-mother didn¡¯t even think twice as she accepted the Hundred Flowers Manor¡¯s request. On the day of the bride escorting ceremony, a group of cultivators suddenly appeared and charged into Hundred Flowers Manor. This group of cultivators killed almost everyone in Hundred Flowers Manor, only leaving a few slaves behind. When the leader of the cultivators saw my appearance, he wanted to take me away. But then, I said that if he didn¡¯t allow me to defend the manor for three years, I would immediately commit suicide." As he listened, Mo Wuji already started to roughly understand the situation. Ying Bian City¡¯s He Lian Merchant House Manager Lao Cai coveted Hundred Flowers Manor¡¯s [Grass, Wood, Stone]. However, before anything could happen, the Hundred Flowers Manor offered [Grass, Wood, Stone] as a dowry to Han Qingru¡¯s step-mother in exchange for Han Qingru¡¯s hand. Perhaps the Hundred Flowers Manor had yet to spread the news that the [Grass, Wood, Stone] had already left their hands, as Lao Cai brought his man to Hundred Flowers Sect and ransacked the place. During that incident, Lao Cai noticed the gorgeous Han Qingru, who incited his attention. At this time, Han Qingru requested that she defended Hundred Flowers Manor for the next three years. Lao Cai probably liked Han Qingru immensely, and he actually accepted Han Qingru¡¯s request. He only dispatched some peoeple to guard over her. "This year is the third year. Even if you didn¡¯t come, I wouldn¡¯t have married that Lao Cai." Mo Wuji knew the meaning behind Han Qingru¡¯s words; she would have rather died. However, Mo Wuji felt that it wouldn¡¯t have been easy for Han Qingru to kill herself. Even her close aide, Ding Ding, was Lao Cai¡¯s subordinate. How could they allow Han Qingru to simply kill herself? As Han Qingru said this, she sighed. "Ding Ding has always been following me. I never expected that she would have been bribed by Lao Cai." "Then has that [Grass, Wood, Stone] been taken away by Lao Cai?" Mo Wuji was most interested in that book. Han Qingru replied, "No, the book that Hundred Flowers Manor gave my step-mother was a fake one." "How do you know that?" Mo Wuji blurted. "Because I found the true [Grass, Wood, Stone] in Hundred Flowers Manor. Clearly, Hundred Flowers Manor intentionally wanted to divert Lao Cai¡¯s attention to my step-mother." Han Qingru sighed once more, almost everything in this world seemed to be a scheme or a ploy. Mo Wuji really wanted to ask whether he could take a look at the [Grass, Wood, Stone], but when he saw the expression on Han Qingru¡¯s face, he didn¡¯t actually open his mouth. Without needing for Mo Wuji to say anything, Han Qingru handed an ancient manual over to Mo Wuji, "Junior Brother Mo, you¡¯re rather knowledgeable with drugs and herbs. I will give this genuine [Grass, Wood, Stone] to you then. The [Hundred Flowers Collection] and the [Hundred Grass Collection] that I wrote back in Hundred Flowers Manor was based on the fake [Grass, Wood, Stone], so nobody knows that the real book is with me." "Many thanks Senior Sister Qingru. This book is extremely useful to me. After I¡¯m done with it, I will return it to senior sister." Mo Wuji was not overly courteous; he immediately accepted the [Grass, Wood, Stone]. Han Qingru waved her hand, "I¡¯m not a drug refiner, nor a pill refiner. This book does not mean much to me, so there¡¯s no need for you to return it." "What are senior sister¡¯s intentions after today?" Mo Wuji asked, after carefully keeping the [Grass, Wood, Stone]. Han Qingru¡¯s gaze looked empty as she stared outside the cave. After some time, she finally said, "I originally wanted to use the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition to go to Yong Ying Immortal World and find my father. But now, I don¡¯t know where I should go, or what I should do." Mo Wuji finally understood why Han Qingru questioned him about his purification abilities; so it was because of this reason. He couldn¡¯t bear to poke holes at Han Qingru¡¯s aspirations; Han Qingru was not very experienced, so she didn¡¯t know that even if she engaged his help, she wouldn¡¯t be able to take part in the alchemy competition. "Senior Sister Qingru, you can stay with me temporarily then. I will think of a way to send you to Yong Ying Immortal World." Mo Wuji resolutely decided that he was going to help Han Qingru go to Yong Ying Immortal World. Han Qingru nodded, "You would need to condense your immortal lattice before you can enter Yong Ying Immortal World. Otherwise, you would be crushed into blood mist by the Immortal Seeking Staircase." When he heard of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Qingru, I don¡¯t know anything about the immortal lattice, or the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Isn¡¯t this the Immortal Domain? Why is there a need to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase?" Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. She didn¡¯t understand how an Earthly Immortal like Mo Wuji was completely unaware of such things. Mo Wuji did not lie to Han Qingru, and he said candidly, "I secretly snuck here from Half Immortal Domain, so I don¡¯t know anything about these." "You¡¯re from Half Immortal Domain? You¡¯re not a cultivator from Yong Ying? How were you able to get past the radiant blade array at the edge of the Immortal Chasm?" Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji in aghast. Mo Wuji could only say, "I was extremely lucky. If I didn¡¯t meet Dao Friend Wen Lianxi, I would have probably died. Oh right, who was that red robed girl from Hundred Flowers Manor that went to find Wen Lianxi?" When Han Qingru recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s adroit skill with arrays, she recovered her countenance. She promptly understood Mo Wuji¡¯s question, "She¡¯s a relative of Lao Cai¡¯s. She was actually stationed at Hundred Flowers Sect to monitor me. She isn¡¯t a bad person, and she¡¯s quite a reckless person. Wen Lianxi¡¯s Manager Qian Shan was a friend of my father¡¯s. Eventually, he condensed his immortal lattice and climbed the Immortal Seeking Staircase to enter the Immortal World. The reason why he was able to leave the Immortal World and come here together with Wen Lianxi, was because of Wen Lianxi¡¯s startling clan power. They were actually able to take out a regulation talisman for him to use. I heard that Qian Shan had brought you to Hundred Flowers Manor after meeting you along the road, so I guessed that you weren¡¯t related to Lao Cai." "Then why don¡¯t you get Qian Shan to send a message to your father?" Mo Wuji asked. Han Qingru shook her head and didn¡¯t answer Mo Wuji¡¯s questions. How powerful was the He Lian Merchant Union in the Immortal World? Qian Shan was merely an underling. How long did her father enter the Immortal World? If she got Qian Shan to deliver the message, she would only be harming them. Her intentions were to obtain a placing to the Immortal World through the alchemy competition, then secretly leave to find her father. Chapter 456: The Long Road Of Immortality Chapter 456: The Long Road Of Immortality Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Seeing that Han Qingru didn¡¯t answer his question, Mo Wuji did not continue on the topic. Instead, he asked, "Senior Sister Qingru, then can you tell me the difference between the Immortal Domain and the Immortal World? And what¡¯s the matter of the Immortal Seeking Staircase and the immortal lattice?" When Han Qingru heard that Mo Wuji was from Half Immortal Domain, she was convinced that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know anything. Regarding these questions, even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t ask her, she would still have slowly talked about it to Mo Wuji. "The Immortal Domain that we¡¯re living in, is merely a small part of Yong Ying, it¡¯s called the Corner of Yong Ying. Here, cultivators can only advance to the Heavenly Immortal Stage at the very most. If you want to take a step further, you would need to condense the immortal lattice and enter the real Immortal Realm. To condense the immortal lattice, you would need immortal lattice stones. But the prices of immortal lattice stones are exorbitant, and they come from Half Immortal Domain¡­" Mo Wuji took out a piece of blackstone and said, "Senior Sister Qingru, is this an Immortal Lattice Stone?" When Han Qingru saw the blackstone in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, she was slightly startled. However, she immediately recalled where Mo Wuji came from; Mo Wuji was from Half Immortal Domain, so it was natural that he had some immortal lattice stones. She nodded, "Yes, that¡¯s an Immortal Lattice Stone. After passing your Heavenly Immortal Tribulation and entering the Heavenly Immortal Stage, you can start condensing your immortal lattice. The strength of your immortal lattice completely depends on how many immortal lattice stones you use, and the degree of your condensation." "Senior Sister Qingru, according to what you¡¯re saying, the more immortal lattice stones I use, the greater the potential of the immortal lattice?" Han Qingru answered, "It¡¯s like that in theory. But everyone¡¯s cultivation technique is different, and their immortal lattice is also different. Thus, people require different amounts of immortal lattice stones. I heard that some supreme immortal lattice require millions of immortal lattice stones. But the most ordinary of immortal lattice only require 1,000 immortal lattice stones. Some people aren¡¯t able to gather that many immortal lattice stones, and try to condense their immortal lattice with a few hundred stones. Thus, their immortal lattices are weaker." Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, "Then do those people in the real Immortal World need to use immortal lattice stones to condense their immortal lattice?" Han Qingru shook her head, "No, my father told me that they have different methods of condensing an immortal lattice in the Immortal World. The immortal lattice stone is merely one of those methods. It¡¯s also possible to condense the immortal lattice just based on one¡¯s insights on the Dao. However, we are at the corner of Yong Ying, the rules of the Dao is not perfect here. Thus, even if one had high insights and talents, he would still require immortal lattice stones to condense the immortal lattice." "Would I be able to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase the moment I condense my immortal lattice?" Mo Wuji asked. "Yes. A Heavenly Immortal with a condensed immortal lattice would be able to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase and become a true immortal," Han Qingru sighed and said. "Then Senior Sister Qingru? After entering the Heavenly Immortal Stage, what higher levels are there?" Mo Wuji finally had a rough understanding of the difference between the Immortal World and the Immortal Domain, and the immortal lattice stone. By this time, he did not need to ask any further to know that Ying Bian City was a low tier city constructed at the corner of Yong Ying. It¡¯s primary goal was to collect immortal lattice stones. Han Qingru answered, "After the Heavenly Immortal, it¡¯s the Golden Immortal. Then, the Xuan Immortal." "Then after Xuan Immortal?" "It¡¯s the Grand Yi Immortal [1], Grand Zhi Immortal and Grand Luo Immortal. It¡¯s said that the Grand Yi Immortals are also called Grand Yi Celestials, Grand Zhi Immortals are called True Paramount Celestial Monarch [2], while Grand Zhi Immortals are called Grand Luo Heavenly Celestials. [3]" "Then are Grand Luo Heavenly Celestials the strongest immortals?" The more he knew, the smaller Mo Wuji felt. He was an Earthly Immortal that had yet to condense his immortal lattice. After the Heavenly Immortal Stage, there were still so many levels after it. Han Qingru answered, "No, it¡¯s rumoured there¡¯s are Immortal Kings. Immortal Kings are the most supreme expert. Every move of theirs are sacred arts." Mo Wuji sank into silence, and did not continue asking any questions. Compared to the Immortal King, he was merely an Earthly Immortal. Even if he was in the Extreme Heaven Stage, he was still an ant among ants. Feeling Mo Wuji¡¯s melancholy, Han Qingru consoled him, "Junior Brother Mo, even the Immortal King rose up from the lowest of cultivation. You¡¯re knowledgeable in alchemy and arrays. How do you know that you wouldn¡¯t be able to become an Immortal King?" Mo Wuji chuckled, "Senior Sister Qingru, you¡¯re right. You dares say that I wouldn¡¯t become an Immortal King?" Those years ago, he was a mere mortal without any spiritual roots. People said that he wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate. But still, he was able to create his own cultivation method. Even though his method was based on the Immortal Mortal Technique, he eventually reversed the entire Immortal Mortal Technique. Now, it did not even have a shadow of its previous self. Compared to when he couldn¡¯t cultivate, he was now at a much higher point. Who knows that he wouldn¡¯t be able to become an Immortal King? When Han Qingru saw Mo Wuji¡¯s enlivened confidence, she heaved a sigh of relief. A cultivator¡¯s worst fear was to lose his confidence. "Senior Sister Qingru, I still have two questions I want to ask you. After a person dies, can he be revived? Or does his soul simply disappear?" This question had always been in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. Now, he finally managed to meet a Heavenly Immortal, so he naturally had to ask this question. After a brief moment of silence, Han Qingru answered, "My father once told me, after a person dies, he would enter the World of Reincarnation. If the fleshly body is still present, some experts are able to find that person¡¯s soul, and bring that person back to life." "People can truly be brought back to life?" In Mo Wuji¡¯s urgency, both his hands had already grabbed Han QIngru¡¯s delicate arms. "Junior Brothr Mo, please let go." Han Qingru¡¯s face turned red. Previously, Mo Wuji had grabbed her, but it was during a dangerous situation. But now, they weren¡¯t in any dangerous situations, so Mo Wuji¡¯s actions were too much. "Sorry, I was too agitated. Senior sister, please tell me." Mo Wuji let go of both his hands, but he was still unable to quell the emotions in his heart. After Mo Wuji released his hands, Han Qingru slowly said, "Even though it¡¯s possible, there are some conditions. The fleshly body must not have perished for a long time, and it needs to be constantly moisturised with Life Force Immortal Grass. It would be best to store it in a pocket dimension. After doing this, you would still need to find a supreme expert to merge the life force with the fleshly body¡­" When he heard this, Mo Wuji felt as though he had been doused in a bucket of cold water? How was he going to get a pocket dimension? And the Life Force Immortal Grass is a peerless treasure, how was he going to find some? As for the supreme expert, he was only a mere Earthly Immortal, how was he going to request the help of such a powerful person? Seemingly aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s raging emotions, Han Qingru did not continue any further. She just sat there quietly beside Mo Wuji. After some time, she saw that Mo Wuji was still silent without a word. Thus, she took out two storage rings and handed them to Mo Wuji, "Junior Brother Mo, these are the Ji brothers¡¯ storage rings. Have a look at what¡¯s inside." Mo Wuji secretly clenched his fists. He needed to get stronger as soon as possible, no, he needed to get much, much stronger. It wasn¡¯t for himself, but for Cen Shuyin as well. "Thanks Junior Sister Qingru." Mo Wuji accepted the storage rings. "Junior Brother Mo, you said that you had two questions. What¡¯s the second one?" Seeing Mo Wuji return to his senses, Han Qingru asked. Mo Wuji sighed, "Forget about the second question. It¡¯s not very important." Previously, Mo Wuji wanted to ask Han Qingru about how he could return to Earth. But compared to Shuyin¡¯s matter, everything else was merely fleeting clouds. He no longer cared about why Xia Ruoyin plotted against him. To him, that was a cloud that had passed by a long time ago. There was no need to think about it. With Mo Wuji¡¯s skill with arrays, he was able to easily break through the restrictions on the two storage rings. "So rich¡­" When Mo Wuji saw the immortal crystals in the Ji brother¡¯s storage ring, he could not help but exclaim in emotion. Previously, he had to use 100,000 immortal lattice stones to exchange for 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals. In the Ji brothers¡¯ storaage rings, there were already over 2,000,000 low grade immortal crystals. Other than that, there were thousands of immortal crystals that were at a higher grade than the low grade immortal crystals. Mo Wuji grabbed one of those immortal crystals in his hand and immediately felt the concentrated immortal energy within it. "Senior Sister Qingru, could this be an intermediate grade immortal crystal?" Mo Wuji asked emotionally. What he was lacking the most was cultivation resources. With intermediate grade immortal crystals, he would be able to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, then condense his immortal lattice. Others might not have immortal lattice stones, but he had truckloads of them. [1] Yi is the second of the ten Heavenly Stems. [2] Zhi means the peak or paramount. [3] The Grand Luo Heavens signify the highest of heavens, with nothing else higher. Chapter 457: Charging To The Heavenly Immortal Stage Chapter 457: Charging To The Heavenly Immortal Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "That''s right, that''s a intermediate grade immortal crystal. You can use these intermediate grade immortal crystals to charge to the Heavenly Immortal Stage," Han Qingru answered. Mo Wuji said gleefully, "Senior Sister Qingru, I will now prepare to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. You can stay here to condense your immortal lattice." "Ah¡­" Han Qingru was briefly stunned before she shook her head and said, "Junior Brother Mo, you should cultivate first. I temporarily don''t need to condense my immortal lattice." Was condensing the immortal lattice something that could be done in just a casual mention? It required large amounts of immortal lattice stones. However, she didn''t even have one immortal lattice stone. Even if Mo Wuji had that one piece of immortal lattice stone, it wasn''t enough to condense the immortal lattice. Mo Wuji smiled, took out a storage ring and passed it to Han Qingru, "Senior Sister Qingru, there are immortal lattice stones in here. Feel free to use them, if there''s not enough, just tell me." Han Qingru stared quizzically at the storage ring. She sent her spiritual will inwards and was instantly stupefied. After some time, she stammered, "Few millions of immortal lattice stones?" Mo Wuji responded with an "En", then said, "I came from Half Immortal Domain. I don''t have anything else, just these immortal lattice stones." With that, Mo Wuji threw our ten array flags, separating Han Qingru from him. At the same time, he grabbed a pile of low grade immortal crystals and tens of intermediate grade immortal crystals, all in preparation to charge to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Han Qingru finally regained her composure, staring at Mo Wuji''s defensive array in shock. She was sure that her new junior brother definitely wasn''t a simple figure back in Half Immortal Domain. Could a simple person have obtained so many immortal lattice stones? She once heard that during the annual purchase of immortal lattice stones, those from the Immortal Domain could only purchase a little over hundred thousand stones from Half Immortal Domain. Just this ring alone contained enough immortal lattice stones for ten years of purchases. After a long time, Han Qingru gradually regained her calm. She excitedly grabbed a pile of immortal lattice stones and started condensing her immortal lattice. Previously, she wasn''t able to go to Immortal World because of the spiritual will imprint on her, and also because she didn''t have any immortal lattice stones. Now, not only did Junior Brother Mo help remove the imprint, he even gave her so many immortal lattice stones. How could she not be excited. With so many immortal lattice stones, coupled with her talent, it was definite that she would successfully condense her immortal lattice. The moment she condensed her immortal lattice, she could head towards the Immortal World. ¡­ This was Mo Wuji''s second time cultivating using immortal crystals. During the first time, he only used 1,000 low grade immortal crystals. Back in the Immortal Chasm, even though he was also cultivating, most of the energy within the immortal crystals were practically wasted. Now, his current use of cultivation, could truly be called true and unrestrained cultivation. One low grade immortal crystal after another directly disintegrated into dust by Mo Wuji''s side. Mo Wuji''s cultivation rose rapidly. In merely a month, Mo Wuji advanced from Earthly Immortal Stage Level 12 to the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal. After collecting the immortal crystals around him, Mo Wuji stood up and opened his array. Han Qingru was still condensing her immortal lattice. Behind her, was a faint immortal halo; Mo Wuji guessed that this was Han Qingru''s condensed immortal lattice halo. As she sat there, Han Qingru looked like a fairy. Her long hair rested neatly on her delicate shoulders. Coupled with her gorgeous facial features, Mo Wuji could not help but praise her beauty. There was no wonder why Lao Cai would be so tolerant to Han Qingru; she was truly too pretty. Moreover, while she was delicate on the outside, she was tough and resolute on the inside. She was truly a person that Mo Wuji could appreciate. Mo Wuji did not disturb her. He left a jade letter saying that he would be facing his tribulation, then he left the cave. Mo Wuji did not dare face his tribulation here; since this was their hiding spot, he naturally couldn''t do it within the area. Moreover, according to Han Qingru''s words, there were many strong demonic beasts here, which was why he had to find a more concealed location. Bringing out his flying car, Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to head towards the depths of Five Lotus Mountain. Three days later, Mo Wuji stopped on top of a flat plateau. This was quite a distance away from the periphery of Five Lotus Mountain. Moreover, there weren¡¯t any tall peaks nor deep gulls here, so there wouldn¡¯t be any demonic beasts near. Most importantly, the immortal energy here was considered rich, which made it suitable for tribulation. Mo Wuji grabbed out 100,000 low grade immortal crystals. Then, he installed a defensive array around himself, as well as a spirit gathering array. At this instant, he was feel grateful towards the Ji brothers. If not for the Ji brothers pursuing Han Qingru and him, where was he going to get so many immortal crystals? Advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage required the Calamity Cross Pill, but Mo Wuji did not have it. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t worried; his cultivation technique was different from others. At least, Mo Wuji had never faced any bottlenecks since he started cultivation. The only ¡®bottleneck¡¯ he faced, was the need for copious amounts of cultivation resources. Following Mo Wuji¡¯s reverse circulation, the immortal spiritual energy within the low grade immortal crystals around him were extracted. In a short period of time, a faint immortal spiritual whirlpool had formed around him. After an incense¡¯s time, the spirit gathering array which he installed had also started to gather the immortal spiritual energy from the surroundings. As Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation soared continuously, he prepared himself for the descend of raging lightning. Thereafter, he would charge into the pillars of the Heavenly Immortal Stage. As time slowly passed, Mo Wuji took out more and more immortal crystals. At the same time, more immortal spiritual energy was gathered by his spirit gathering array. However, he was also increasingly worried. He had never encountered his current situation before; his power was rising constantly, and all the meridians in his body seemed to be filled to the brim with immortal spiritual energy; he was so close to charging to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. However, not a single shadow of the Lightning Calamity appeared. Feeling the rapidly decreasing number of immortal crystals in his ring, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He suddenly wished that he had the Calamity Crossing Pill; if he had a Calamity Crossing Pill, he would definitely be able to incite the Lightning Calamity. From the looks of it, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t use his previous standards as a gauge of his curreny cultivation. This was the first time that he felt that he wasn¡¯t prepared for his tribulation. Another day passed. Mo Wuji took out the last thousand intermediate grade immortal crystals from his spirit ring. He decided that if these intermediate grade immortal crystals still weren¡¯t enough to call for the Lightning Calamity, then he would give up on this attempt. He would then search for the immortal herbs required for the Calamity Crossing Pill, and concoct it. "Roar!" The loud roar of a demonic beast resounded; Mo Wuji knew that a strong demonic beast was coming. Even though he possessed the peak grade Wind Escape Technique, he did not wish to come close to the demonic beasts here. This tribulation betrayed his plans completely. Originally, he was intending to spend one day to pass the tribulation. But now, five days had passed but the Lightning Calamity still hadn¡¯t descended. Without the Lightning Calamity, and as he continued to absorb immortal spiritual energy so furiously, it was no wonder that he had drawn the attention of strong demonic beasts. Just when Mo Wuji was prepared to stop his attempt, a Black-furred Lion that was several meters tall appeared in his spiritual will. This was definitely a demonic beast that had exceeded the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart tightened; before he could keep the array flags around him, he saw the Black-furred Lion jumping into the sky. The moment the Black-furred Lion moved, Mo Wuji knew that the Black-furred Lion wasn¡¯t targetting him, but a huge Three-eyed Dove. When the Three-eyed Dove saw the Black-furred Lion pouncing towards it, it uttered a shrill chirp, extending its wings and soared to the sky. However, its flapping wings seemed to be moving in slow-motion, as though something was restraining them. Mo Wuji was very clear that this was the Black-furred Lion¡¯s domain. I have to go. Just when Mo Wuji thought of this, the Three-eyed Dove spat out a black shadow. This thoroughly angered Mo Wuji. It was clearly the Black-furred Lion that was attacking the Three-eyed Dove, but this Three-eyed Dove actually turned to attack him. Unexpectedly, the black shadow did not contain any hints of killing intent. Instead, Mo Wuji felt a sensation of rich immrotal spiritual energy, and smelt a fruity fragrance. After smelling this faint fruity frgrance, Mo Wuji started to feel that his shackles keeping him at the Earthly Immortal Stage easing up. At this point in time, if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know that this fruit was useful to helping him charge to the Heavenly Immortal Stage, then might as well be an idiot. He did not hesitate to grab the fruit and placed it in his mouth. At the same time, he circulated his immortal elemental energy. With the circulation of his immortal elemental energy, the fruit instantly dissolved and seeped into the meridians in Mo Wuji¡¯s body. All 107 meridians in Mo Wuji¡¯s body simultaneously released a crisp sound, reverse circulating at a much faster speed. An explosive force let loose inside of Mo Wuji¡¯s body; this violent force caused Mo Wuji to feel as though his body was exploding. When the Black-furred Lion saw Mo Wuji swallowing the fruit, it immediately gave up on the Three-eyed Dove and turned to Mo Wuji. The Three-eyed Dove instantly broke free of the Black-furred Lion¡¯s domain control, transforming into a shadow and speeding into the sky. Chapter 458: 108th Meridian Chapter 458: 108th Meridian Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations How could Mo Wuji be in the mood to care that he had just been dragged into disaster by that Three-eyed Dove? He wasn¡¯t even in the mood to care about the incoming Black-furred Lion. After he swallowed that fruit, the spiritual energy within it went rampage. He had to urgently release some of this spiritual energy. However, the energy seemed to be like a mad cow, running around his body in all directions. Mo Wuji exerted all his effort to draw these spiritual energy together, then directed them towards the Heavenly Immortal barrier. "Boom!" In this single impact, the cultivation shackles on Mo Wuji started to tremble violently. At the same time, thunderclaps suddenly sounded in the sky. Thereafter, ten bolts of lightning as thick as a child¡¯s arm descended down upon him. The Black-furred Lion that was pouncing towards Mo Wuji was startled by this terrifying Lightning Calamity, as it hurriedly retreated. Even though its cultivation was equivalent to the advanced Heavenly Immortal Stage, it did not dare face this sort of Lightning Calamity. As a demonic beast, it was afraid to even touch this horrifying Lightning Calamity. "Crackle! Crash!" These ten bolts of lightning slammed on Mo Wuji consecutively. All the skin on Mo Wuji¡¯s body instantly exploded; his bones immediately cracked. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled astonishment. He had always been able to absorb the essence within the lightning. However, this Lightning Tribulation was so swift and horrifying; before he could even absorb the lightning essence, he was already heavily injured. And this was just the first wave of lightning. Cultivating to the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal, Mo Wuji had his fair share of Lightning Calamities. However, he had never experienced one like this; it was too fast, and its power was horrifyingly strong. From afar, the Black-furred Lion observed Mo Wuji¡¯s Lightning Calamity. It saw the ten horrifying bolts of lightning land on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, exploding a huge mist of blood. However, the lightning bolts actually didn¡¯t manage to strike that cultivator down. When the Black-furred Lion noticed this, its heart pounded rapidly. It carefully took steps backwards, and when it had retreated to a fixed distance away, it immediately turned and fled into the depths of Five Lotus Mountain. In its eyes, Mo Wuji was not someone it could offend. It couldn¡¯t even deal with the power of those lightning bolts; this was already enough to show that Mo Wuji was much stronger than it. The moment Mo Wuji moved towards it, it would be drawn into the Lightning Calamity. Moreover, the immortal spirit fruit had already been eaten, so why did it continue to stay here for? As it thought of all these dangers, why would the Black-furred Lion dare to continue observe Mo Wuji¡¯s tribulation? "Crack!" A thin fracture appeared on the Heavenly Immortal shackles. Before Mo Wuji could start to heal his injuries, another ten bolts of lightning descended on him. Mo Wuji was slightly more prepared compared to the first time; he threw ten lightning webs upwards. Even though the lightning webs weren¡¯t able to block these lightning bolts, it eased the pressure on Mo Wuji. Just when he swallowed a few healing pills, the lightning bolts ripped through Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning webs, and struck against his body. Mo Wuji¡¯s 107 meridians formed a huge circulation path, which continuously reverse circulated, drawing away wave after wave of lightning essence. Even though this Lightning Calamity was like a crazy and powerful wave, because Mo Wuji continuously drew away the lightning essence, the damage on Mo Wuji¡¯s body was not as much as during the first wave of lightning. Before the lightning completely disappeared, another ten lightning bolts descended. A much bigger fracture had appeared on the barrier to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. As the lightning bolts descended, Mo Wuji concentrated the lightning essence he just absorbed and sent it towards the Heavenly Immortal shackles. "Crack!" Mo Wuji felt something breaking apart within is body. Huge amounts of force filled all his meridians. Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians continuously widened; his sea of consciousness also expanded crazily. The violet elemental lake within his sea of consciousness was now a small ocean. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s power was rising rapidly. He had advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji did not even get to celebrate when the ten lightning bolts came towards him. Mo Wuji no longer did the same as what he did previously, to absorb the lightning essence to weaken the lightning bolts. Instead, he punched out multiple times. The shadows of his fists crashed against the lightning bolts; filling the sky with trails of lightning. The leftover lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body. However, it helped Mo Wuji¡¯s power to increase. Not only didn¡¯t these lightning bolts worsen his injuries, it actually caused his injuries to heal slightly. Seemingly noticing that Mo Wuji had already advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, the Lightning Calamity was no longer harmful to Mo Wuji. The Lightning Calamity finally slowed down. When Mo Wuji¡¯s power seemed to reach its maximum point, the Lightning Calamity brought down another slew of lightning. This time, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even block it, but wholeheartedly absorbed the lightning essence within the lightning. "Crack!" It felt like his soul and his body had been opened. Mo Wuji did not even open his eyes but he could feel that he had an additional meridian in his body. His 108th meridian had finally been opened; Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with ecstasy. He did not have spiritual roots and spirit channels. As he cultivated using meridians, he knew that he had to open 108 meridians. His 108th meridian was finally perforated today. This meant that his Immortal Mortal Technique would no longer be slow and sluggish, and his cultivation speed would be much faster than every other cultivator. As Mo Wuji thought of this, his 108th meridian completely joined up with the rest of his meridians. In the blink of an eye, his 108 meridians formed a huge circulation path. At this instant, Mo Wuji understood the huge difference between the circulation path with 107 meridians, and that with 108 meridians. Both his power and his cultivation speed had encountered a huge qualitative change. Just when Mo Wuji was wondering what kind of channel his 108th meridian was, a faint message was inscribed in his consciousness. His 108th meridian: World Channel. World Channel? There was such a peculiar meridian? Mo Wuji was filled with doubts. Just when Mo Wuji was trying to discern the abilities of his World Channel, another roar reverberated in the sky. More than 100 lightning bolts descended from the sky; these terrifying lightning bolts seemed to want to destroy Mo Wuji completely. Even Mo Wuji was stunned; he was going to face a second Lightning Calamity? While his Lightning Calamity hadn¡¯t fully concluded, why would there suddenly be over 100 lightning bolts at a go? Mo Wuji did not dare to think any further. He fetched his Tian Ji Pole and furiously formed layers of pole shadows. At the same time, he formed multiple lightning webs. He felt that this Lightning Calamity was trying to kill him; he had never heard of over 100 lightning bolts descending simultaneously. Was he not destined to become an Immortal King? "Boom! Boom! Boom!" These lightning bolts crashed down heavily, tearing Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning bolts to shreds. Even Mo Wuji¡¯s pole arts had been exploded into gold light. At this moment, Mo Wuji discovered that these lightning bolts were actually completely black. "Crackle! Crash!" Lightning bolts slammed onto Mo Wuji continuously. Even though Mo Wuji was already in the Heavenly Immortal Stage and was more than 10 folds stronger than he was previously, he was still left paralysed by these lightning bolts. Cracks started to form on his meridians, and even his sea of consciousness started to become unstable. His entire body crashed heavily on the ground. He was only able to accept one wave of such lightning. If another one came, he knew that he definitely couldn¡¯t take it. I¡¯m dead. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with grief. He didn¡¯t expect that there would be such an abnormal Lightning Calamity. What left Mo Wuji pleasantly surprised was that after this wave if lightning, the sky started to clear up; there was even a spiritual rainbow. Mo Wuji hurriedly started to heal his meridians. Fortunately, he had the vitality meridian. Even though his Lightning Calamity was horrifying beyond the point of imagination, he didn¡¯t actually lose his life. With the power of his vitality meridian, his injuries caused by the Lightning Calamity recovered swiftly. He finally managed to succeed in his Heavenly Immortal Tribulation; Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a trace of insight appeared in his mind. This insight wasn¡¯t due to his dao revelation channel, but his 108th meridian, the World Channel. Chapter 459: The Created World Chapter 459: The Created World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At this instant, Mo Wuji felt a hint of dao and spirituality continuously revolving within his World Channel, then furiously sucking in his vitality and elemental energy. What¡¯s going on? As Mo Wuji thought of this, his World Channel suddenly stopped reverse circulating. A grey dao halo emerged from his World Channel, and started to transform continuously. Eventually, it transformed into a small round bead. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on this grey, round bead, and was instantly stupefied. This was a world? His World Channel actually formed a world? However, this world seemed to be void and empty, like space. With a thought, his body actually appeared within this grey bead. The bead was completely empty; there was nothing except for some hints of chaotic energy. However, this chaotic energy actually seemed to be related to his modified Immortal Mortal Technique; it seemed to be derived from the the cultivation technique that he had personally developed. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will swept outwards; he discovered that he was indeed within the bead. Outside the bead, was the same messy plateau ravaged by his tribulation. Could this be a world that I created? Do every newly advanced Heavenly Immortals possess such a world? As Mo Wuji thought of this, he felt that it was not likely. If it was really the case, then Han Qingru would have told him about it. This world should be related to his meridian cultivation technique, which gave birth to his World Channel. Because he opened this World Channel, he was able to create this world of his own. Because this world was newly born, it was completely empty. Since it was a world, then he should be able to store things inside right? When Mo Wuji thought of this, he casually threw a few spirit stones from his storage ring inside. As expected, the spirit stones formed a small pile within a corner of this empty space. Mo Wuji did not continue researching on this world; the place he was in wasn¡¯t safe. With another thought, he emerged from his world. The moment Mo Wuji emerged, that grey world immediately concealed itself within his Mind Palace. Mo Wuji hurriedly collected his array flags, took out his flying car and left this place swiftly. After he returned, besides continuing his research into this world, he still needed to condense his immortal lattice. ¡­ When Mo Wuji returned to the cave, Han Qingru was still condensing her immortal lattice. Behind her, an immortal lattice dao wheel was revolving smoothly; dao will which belonged exclusively to Han Qingru entered into this dao wheel. At this moment, if Mo Wuji wanted to investigate the inner thoughts of Han Qingru, he only needed to send his spiritual will into this immortal lattice dao wheel. Regardless, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t do such an uncouth thing. Typically, a Heavenly Immortal would condense his immortal lattice in secret. It was completely because the two of them were on the run that Han Qingru was condensing his immortal lattice here. No longer caring about Han Qingru, Mo Wuji installed another array around himself. After installing the array, Mo Wuji immediately jumped back in into that grey world that he created. The grey world was still empty. Mo Wuji took out his storage ring, and slowly placed the things within the ring into the world, one at a time. Most important, were his tens of millions of immortal lattice stones. If these things were revealed, probably all the cultivators in the Corner of Yong Ying would want to kill him. A khaki-coloured bead was also taken out; this was the Earth Elemental Bead. It was really a sheer stroke of luck that Mo Wuji was able to obtain this Earth Elemental Bead. Previously, he was already prepared to die when he snatched this Earth Elemental Bead away. After all, both the Void Toad and the Yin Fire Centipede were existences far stronger than him. Even Mo Wuji didn''t expect that he would be able to find a way out after stealing the Earth Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji also wasn''t sure about how the Earth Elemental Bead was formed. He only knew that such a bead even existed from some random jade letter that he read. It''s said that it was a treasure for earth-type cultivators, and it would bring great fortune to the cultivator. Mo Wuji carefully brought out a relatively bigger box; he was preparing to place the Earth Elemental Bead in the grey world. Before Mo Wuji could store the Earth Elemental Bead on the jade box, the Earth Elemental Bead suddenly raced out of his hand, and floated in mid air. Earth-type radiance seeped out from the Earth Elemental Bead, and soon, merged with the empty, grey world. This is? Mo Wuji stared in astonishment as the scene unfolded before him. At the very next instant, he felt boundless vitality and elemental energy being sucked out of him. The extracted vitality and elemental energy instantly merged with the Earth Elemental Bead. Waves of tremors suddenly reverberated through the air. What''s going on? Before Mo Wuji tried to understand what was going on, he knew that something was wrong. If his vitality continued to be extracted, he would soon turn into a pile of dead skin. Stop, this must stop immediately. Just when Mo Wuji was about to yell "Stop", he felt a hint of grief. At this instant, it seemed like his grey world was collapsing. Even though he understand what was going on, Mo Wuji could guess a thing or two. It should be because his world required the Laws of Earth, and the Earth Elemental Bead was formed from the natural Laws of Earth. The moment he called for "Stop", his world, which had yet to be completely formed, might possibly implode. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, let it continue then. But if it reached an unbearable point, he must stop it. Aligned with Mo Wuji''s thoughts, the elemental energy and vitality within Mo Wuji''s body surged out, merging with the Laws of Earth emanated by the Earth Elemental Bead. The grey bead world continued to shake continuously with tremors. After some unknown time, Mo Wuji was truly unable to take it. He feel unconscious in his own world. Even though Mo Wuji had already passed out, the vitality and elemental energy within his body continued to be sucked out. The Earth Elemental Bead also gradually became smaller. Finally, it vanished within this grey world. ¡­ Time continued to pass. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. With a light sigh, Han Qingru stood up. The immortal lattice dao wheel had already been concealed within her body. Spending a total of 630,000 immortal lattice stones, she was able to form an immortal lattice which completely belonged to her. At this instant, she felt that her power was more than ten times stronger than previously? If she were to fight against Ji Zhao now, she believed that she would have nothing to fear. So this was the difference with an immortal lattice? Han Qingru felt the immortal elemental energy surging within her, and felt indescribably emotional. After half a year, not only did she condense her immortal lattice, she had already completely converted her elemental energy to immortal elemental energy. If this was the past, she would never have dared think of such a thing. All these was brought to her by Junior Brother Mo. Han Qingru turned to Mo Wuji''s magical array; her heart was filled with gratitude. She secretly created an array around herself, as she washed up and changed to a new set of clothes. Thereafter, she organised the remaining immortal lattice stones and prepared to return them to Mo Wuji. Even when her father was condensing his immortal lattice, he didn''t do it so luxuriously. 630,000 immortal lattice stones, it would probably be enough for at least a hundred people to condense their immortal lattice. Moreover, she had only used a small portion of the stones within the ring. Han Qingru waited outside Mo Wuji''s array for a few days. Soon, she felt that something was amiss; there was no signs of movement within Mo Wuji''s array. Logically, if Mo Wuji was cultivating, there should be the circulation of immortal spiritual energy. However, within Mo Wuji''s array, there wasn''t the flow of any sort of energy; it was like a pool of dead water. As Han Qingru thought of this, urgency filled her heart as she hurriedly touched Mo Wuji''s array. The moment Han Qingru touched his array, Mo Wuji, who had been unconscious for an unknown amount of time, immediately woke up. He soon discovered in astonishment that he was still lying in his grey world¡­ That''s not right, this was different from his grey world. His grey world was completely empty, while this world contained grey land. He was currently lying on this grey land. The pile of spirit stones that he deposited here had disappeared. On the other hand, his spiritual herbs and pills were still around. However, his pile of immortal lattice stones and the Earth Elemental Bead had vanished. Chapter 460: Undying World Chapter 460: Undying World [1] Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In a mere instant, Mo Wuji came to a realisation. This was still his grey bead world. The only difference was that it was no longer an empty void, but merged with the Laws of Earth from the Earth Elemental Bead. No, it was more accurate to say that the merge of the Laws of Earth with his life force and vitality resulted in this land. Soon, Mo Wuji saw his pitiable appearance; he was anorexic-ally thin and his hair had been completely bleached... Mo Wuji was sure that if not for his vitality channel, he would have been dead. Han Qingru''s urgent cries sounded through once more. Mo Wuji hurriedly emerged from his world and landed within his array. Feeling the flow of spiritual energy within Mo Wuji''s array, and even hearing some grunts, Han Qingru did not care any further and rushed in. Mo Wuji''s array did not have any defensive restrictions; it was only imbued with concealment effects. Han Qingru was able to easily break through Mo Wuji''s restrictions. When she saw Mo Wuji''s appearance, she was stunned still. Mo Wuji was lying on the floor; his hair was bleached and he looked nothing more than a pile of bones in skin. Compared to the Junior Brother Mo that was brimming with spirit, this was simply a difference as huge as that between Heaven and Earth. "Junior Brother Mo, what happened to you?" Han Qingru hurriedly took a step forward, supporting Mo Wuji up and leaning him onto her body. A pleasant fragrance wafted into his nose. At the same time, Mo Wuji felt Han Qingru''s strong Heavenly Immortal aura, it was much stronger than even the Ji brothers. "Senior Sister Qingru, congrats on successfully condensing your immortal lattice." After this congratulatory sentence, Mo Wuji took out a few vitality restoring pills and swallowed them. Even though he had the vitality channel, the damage he suffered was too much. "En, if not for you, I''m afraid I would never have been able to condense my immortal lattice. Junior Brother Mo, what exactly happened to you?" Han Qingru was slightly worried. Even when a cultivator was heavily injured, it wouldn''t have reached to a point like Mo Wuji''s. Mo Wuji smiled; he couldn''t reveal the matter of him giving birth to a world. He could only create a story, "Not long ago, I encountered a vixen spirit. She sucked away all of my Yang energy [2] which left me in this state¡­" Han Qingru''s face instantly swelled deep red. If not for Mo Wuji''s weak appearance, she would have dumped Mo Wuji down. Mo Wuji reacted; his joke did not seem to be appropriate, so he hurriedly said, "I''m okay. Oh right, do you have any immortal crystals? If you do, give me some." Han Qingru shook her head awkwardly, "I don''t have any immortal crystals. Wait here for me, I know of a city square not far from here. I will go to the city square to sell some things." Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind Han Qingru''s words; she probably wanted to help him get some immortal crystals. He waved his hand, "That''s not needed. I have a spirit gathering array here, it''s enough if I rest for a few days." Han Qingru was still very inexperienced. She was currently being pursued, if she went to the city square, she would only be courting death. After he recovered and cultivated for a period of time, he would condense his immortal lattice. Then, he would send Han Qingru to the Immortal World and they would each go their separate ways. "Alright, then I won¡¯t disturb your rest." Han Qingru placed Mo Wuji down carefully, then left Mo Wuji¡¯s concealment array. After Han Qingru left, Mo Wuji administered more pills, and started to recover his elemental energy. Even if he wanted to condense his immortal lattice, he would have to wait till he recovered his power. Multiple days passed by in a flash. Mo Wuji was still emaciated and weak, but it was a huge improvement. His head full of white hair was now beige. Feeling Mo Wuji start to absorb immortal spiritual energy, Han Qingru heaved a sigh of relief. She left a jade letter outside his array, then carefully left the cave. She had used Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal lattice stones to condense her immortal lattice. Now that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation had faced a hitch, she wanted to find some ways to help Mo Wuji. ¡­ Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even know that Han Qingru had left; he was continuously recovering the damage to his meridians and his elemental energy. After several days passed, Mo Wuji finally stopped. He had yet to completely recover; it was best if he used some immortal pills or immortal crystals to recover fully. He did not have any immortal pills, but that wasn¡¯t important to him. He did not have immortal pills, but he had the Grass, Wood, Stone. After reading the Grass, Wood, Stone, he would ask Han Qingru for help. As the manor lord of Hundred Flowers Manor, she should have some immortal herbs on her. Once again, Mo Wuji entered his grey, round bead; it was really like a world inside. There was not hundreds of square meters of land, and at the edges of the land, were boundless empty space. Mo Wuji carefully placed Cen Shuyin¡¯s jade coffin in this world, then started to install all sorts of magical arrays around it. He did not have the Life Force Immortal Grass, but he had the vitality channel. Even though he had not fully recovered, he still extracted some life force from his vitality channel and injected it into magical array. As long as the array was functioning, Cen Shuyin would constantly be within life energy. He knew that his round bead was not considered a pocket dimension but Mo Wuji believed that it was in no way inferior. Feeling the soil on the ground, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart suddenly pounded and he muttered to himself, "From now on, this world will be called the Undying World. [1]" Because he started the meridian cultivation technique and created the reversed Immortal Mortal Technique, he was able to have his 108th meridian - the World Channel. It then led to the birth of his own world. Thus, this bead would be called the Undying World; it was truly an apt name. Because of the Earth Elemental Bead, the Undying World was able to have land. From the looks of it, if he wanted the Undying World to be a world with life, he would still need the Water Elemental Bead, Fire Elemental Bead, Metal Elemental Bead and Wood Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji sighed; it was a complete stroke of luck that he was able to obtain this Earth Elemental Bead. Each of these beads are extraordinary treasures birthed from the cosmos, much less five of them. Even though it could not be a complete world, his Undying World was still better than a storage ring. At least, there would be a place to place Cen Shuyin, and to hide his immortal lattice crystals. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji cast all these thoughts aside and took out his Grass, Wood and Stone. He wanted to learn to concoct immortal pills, so he needed to start by understanding immortal herbs. The moment Mo Wuji flipped to the first page, he knew that this book was a treasure. Not only did the book introduce the characteristics of various immortal grass and wood, as well as their uses, it even introduces various kinds of smithing materials. It seemed to contain information from Tier 1 to Tier 9 of immortal herbs. Mo Wuji soon sank into concentration. Hours later, he learned about the fruit that he had eaten before his tribulation. It was actually a peak Tier 2 spirit fruit, the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit. The Falling Dust Immortal Fruit was an immortal fruit that was able to help Heavenly Immortals charge to the Golden Immortal Stage; its value exceeded even many Tier 3 immortal grass. Moreover, these Tier 3 immortal grass that he was referring to weren¡¯t those mundane and ordinary ones in Hundred Flowers Manor. Not only could this Falling Dust Immortal Fruit be eaten directly, it could even be used to concoct the Falling Dust Immortal Pill. This was a Tier 2 immortal pill that could help Heavenly Immortals enter the Golden Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji sighed inwardly, he had really wasted it. An Earthly Immortal actually used the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit. Fortunately, Mo Wuji soon cast these thoughts aside and went back to studying the Grass, Wood, Stone. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, multiple days had passed. Mo Wuji felt that he was now knowledgeable enough on immortal herbs to start concocting immortal pills. He hurriedly placed Grass, Wood and Stone into his Undying World, and walked out of his array. Where did Han Qingru go? To Mo Wuji¡¯s surprise, he didn¡¯t see Han Qingru. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will casually swept through the area and he immediately found the jade letter that Han Qingru left behind. His heart immediately sank; he recalled that Han Qingru previously said that she wanted to go to the city square. As he picked up and read the jade letter, he found that it was exactly as he guessed; Han Qingru had gone to the city square. Mo Wuji did not know when exactly did Han Qingru leave, but he was sure that it had not been simply one or two days ago. If she hadn¡¯t returned after so many days, there was only one possibility, that Han Qingru had met with an incident. As he thought of this, how could Mo Wuji still stay in this cave. He hurriedly swept up everything in the cave. His figure flashed as he charged out from the cave. [1] This Immortal here is the same ''immortal¡¯ as with the novel''s title, Immortal Mortal, and the Immortal Mortal Technique. It means undying. It''s different from the Immortal from Earthly Immortal or Immortal Realm, which refers to deities or celestial beings. [2] Suck is a good verb to use here LOL. A vixen spirit is like a succubus, and sucks the vitality from men. Chapter 461: Han Qingrus Whereabouts Chapter 461: Han Qingru''s Whereabouts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Can He City Square. This was a small scale city square in the Corner of Yong Ying. At this instant, Mo Wuji was standing outside Can He City Square. Because this place was close to Five Lotus Mountain, he only used a day to get here. If Han Qingru were to go to a city square, she definitely would have come here. Moreover, Han Qingru had also mentioned that there was a city square near Five Lotus Mountain. According to Mo Wuji''s conjecture, Han Qingru should have been referring to Can He City Square. Before he even entered Can He City Square, Mo Wuji discovered the multiple defensive arrays outside the city square. These defensive arrays were not bad; they had some trapping effects. After entering the city square, Mo Wuji found that it was quite lively, with a steady stream of people. In reality, there weren''t any cultivator cities near Can He City Square. However, there were several huge mountain ranges in the surrounding; Five Lotus Mountain Range was just one of them. Besides Five Lotus Mountain Range, there''s also Can He Mountain Range and Gentle River Mountain Range. These mountain ranges were full of all sorts of immortal herbs, and there were even peak grade minerals and ores which could be excavated on these ranges. Thus, many cultivators temper and train themselves here, and when they found some things, they would typically sell them at Can He City Square. The layout of the city square was not messy. Besides merchant houses and stalls, there were also pill houses, material shops, etc. All these shops that sold the same kind of goods were located near one another. Thus, if people wanted to purchase an item, they would not take very long. If Han Qingru came to exchange for immortal crystals, she definitely would have gone to an immortal herb stall. Thus, Mo Wuji immediately headed to the area which sold immortal herbs. After circling the area, he still wasn''t able to find Han Qingru. Mo Wuji walked in front of a spiritual herb stall of a middle-aged woman, clasped his fists and said, "Senior Sister, I would like to ask you some questions about a person." This middle-aged woman saw Mo Wuji''s polite greeting. Moreover, Mo Wuji looked older than her but he was still courteous to call her "Senior Sister". Thus, she immediately replied with a smile, "This dao friend is too polite. If I know anything, I will be sure to tell you." Mo Wuji roughly described Han Qingru''s appearance and attire. After some thought, he added, "She may have been wearing a disguise mask." Han Qingru was being pursued by Lao Cai. Thus, Mo Wuji believed that she would definitely have disguised herself. When the middle-aged woman heard Mo Wuji¡¯s description, her face instantly changed. She immediately shook her head and said, "I don¡¯t know." Mo Wuji only needed a single glance at this middle-aged woman¡¯s expression to know that she was definitely hiding something. He continued, "I¡¯m her junior brother. My junior sister has been gone for a few days and has yet to return. I¡¯m really worried which was why I¡¯m looking around for her." "Oh, you¡¯re her junior brother? More like a lover, isn¡¯t it?" A sudden voice interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s words; an extremely thin man strolled by. Because Mo Wuji¡¯s vitality and elemental energy had been severely sucked away by the Undying World, he had yet to fully recover. Thus, he still looked incomparably emaciated. However, this man that came over was actually thinner than Mo Wuji. When the middle-aged woman saw this thin man, she immediately lowered her head, afraid to utter another word. "You¡¯re Mo Ru¡¯s junior brother? Why do I think that you¡¯re Mo Ru¡¯s lover?" This thin man walked in front of Mo Wuji and sized him up; his tone was unbridled and pompous. Mo Ru? Mo Wuji was slightly startled before he reacted; this must have been Han Qingru¡¯s alias. He clasped his fists and said, "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Mo Ru¡¯s junior brother, Mo Wu. May I know where my senior sister is right now?" As for the other sentence, it had been completely disregarded by Mo Wuji. Now, he didn¡¯t even know where Han Qingru is. Naturally, he had to get things clear first. Fighting had to wait till after he found Han Qingru. The thin man sized Mo Wuji up once more, then said, "Mo Ru is doing well. Since you¡¯re her junior brother, follow me then." With that, the thin man turned and walked off. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to follow behind him. Even though Mo Wuji had yet to recuperate fully, he had recovered around 70% of his strength. He was already much stronger than when he was at the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal. At the Earthly Immortal Stage, he was already able to kill the Ji brothers. Now, even if his opponent had some scheme or trap, they wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with him easily. Moreover, he heard from Han Qingru that Golden Immortals were not allowed here. If Golden Immortals wanted to come here, they would need a peak grade regulation talisman. Since his opponent was also in the Heavenly Immortal Stage, there was nothing for him to fear. Soon, they reached a rather grand merchant house; at least, it was considered grand in Can He City Square. Outside of the merchant house, there were even some large words: First Cultivator Merchant House. "Come in then." The thin man gestured to Mo Wuji while at the entrance of the merchant house, then entered the building. Mo Wuji was adroit with arrays; how could he not know that there were many arrays in this building? He did not care too much about it, and directly entered the building. Compared to those in Hundred Flowers Manor, these trap arrays were seriously lacking. These trap arrays were dreaming if they wanted to trap him. The moment he entered the merchant house, Mo Wuji swept outwards with his spiritual will. His spiritual will was soon blocked by all sorts of spiritual will barriers, and it was unable to sweep any further. The thin man brought Mo Wuji to the second floor of the merchant house, then turned and left. A young woman was standing at the entrance of the room of the second floor. She bowed to Mo Wuji and said, "Dao Friend Mo, please enter." Mo Wuji looked at though he was completely unguarded as he walked into the room unhesitatingly. There was no one inside the room. However, he did not mind, and found himself a chair to sit down on. He believed that if this First Cultivator Merchant House had called him here, they wouldn¡¯t simply attack him without reason. Just when Mo Wuji entered the room, two cultivators appeared outside the room - one man and one woman. The man looked healthy and fit; his face was long and his lips were thick; his eyes were sparkling, as though everything was within his control. When he saw Mo Wuji enter the room, a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes, "This person hasn¡¯t condensed his immortal lattice, and we know nothing of his origins. Clearly, it¡¯s very unlikely that we would be able to obtain immortal lattice crystals from him." This woman had a very curvy figure, her chest and butt were protruding significantly; it was hard to miss. When she heard the man¡¯s words, she smiled slightly, "That¡¯s hard to tell. What if this person is very lucky and has a large amount of immortal lattice stones? Didn¡¯t they say that there were people from Half Immortal Domain that have infiltrated into the Corner of Yong Ying? Perhaps he met those fat lambs from Half Immortal Domain and became filthy rich." The man nodded, "Regardless, we should first go in and take a look." "Dao Friend Mo, I¡¯m the manager of First Cultivator Merchant House, Wei Gongfeng. I didn¡¯t anticipate your visit, I seek your forgiveness." The moment the man entered the room, he grinned and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. After that, he gestured to the woman by his side and introduced, "This is my First Cultivator Merchant House¡¯s Deacon Zhu Yiyan." The woman nodded towards Mo Wuji, but she didn¡¯t say a word. Mo Wuji said calmly, "Where¡¯s my senior sister?" His spiritual will had already discovered the trap arrays and killing arrays within the building. These arrays were considered Grade 1 immortal arrays. If it was any other Heavenly Immortal that was clueless about arrays, these host of arrays were enough to trap him indefinitely. However, Mo Wuji did not care too much about these Grade 1 immortal grades; instead, he cared about Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan. These two looked like experts that had already condensed their immortal lattice. The aura that they exuded were clearly stronger than the Ji brothers. "The matter of your senior sister can be discussed later. I heard from your senior sister that you have a large amount of immortal lattice stones on you. I wonder if that¡¯s true?" Zhu Yiyan directly interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s words and went straight to her point. In her eyes, Mo Wuji was merely a fat lamb ready to be roasted. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, "How did this woman actually get such a figure? She had such fat chest and ass, but her arms are so thin." Mo Wuji was even worried that if this woman used too much force in her arms, those thin arms might just snap off." "If your eyes continue to stray around, I would first gorge them out, then discuss about the immortal lattice crystals," Zhu Yiyan snorted as she noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze. Chapter 462: All Because of Immortal Lattice Crystals Chapter 462: All Because of Immortal Lattice Crystals Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji laughed coldly; this woman had a high self-esteem. However, he was looking for Han Qingru, so he couldn¡¯t be bothered to care about this woman¡¯s nagging. Mo Wuji extended his hand, a pile of immortal lattice stones appeared in his palm and fell to the ground. There were at least thousands within that pile. He asked calmly, "Are you asking about this?" He didn¡¯t believe that Han Qingru would reveal that he had large amounts of immortal lattice crystals on him. It must have been because Han Qingru had just condensed her immortal lattice, and was thus held hostage by these people. Moreover, he went searching for Han Qingru the moment he came to this city square, so they decided to blackmail him. "Immortal lattice crystals?" Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan hurriedly stood up; their eyes gleamed with searing light as they stared at the pile of immortal lattice stones in front of Mo Wuji. Zhu Yiyan went one step further and tried to grab some stones. With a wave of his hand, Mo Wuji directly swept the pile of immortal lattice crystals away. "Could Deacon Zhu be trying to steal my crystals?" After Mo Wuji kept the stones, he spoke with a hint of disdain. Anger instantly emerged on Zhu Yiyan¡¯s face. However, it soon disappeared, and she threw out multiple array flags. After these array flags landed on the ground, some mechanical noises sounded behind Mo Wuji. Following which, the wall behind Mo Wuji disappeared and a new room appeared, which merged with the room Mo Wuji was in. "Qing¡­ senior sister." The moment the wall behind him disappeared, Mo Wuji saw Han Qingru. Indeed, there was a piece of black cloth around Han Qingru¡¯s face. Moreover, Mo Wuji could feel that Han Qingru¡¯s energy was unstable. Clearly, she had been in a battle not long ago. "Junior Brother, why are you here?" The moment Han Qingru saw Mo Wuji, her heart tightened. However, she soon came to an understanding; Mo Wuji must have been looking for her, and as a result, was scammed by these people from First Cultivator Merchant House. Mo Wuji said to Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan, "May the two of you please leave first. I can give you as many immortal lattice crystals as you need. Just let me have a discussion with my senior sister, then we can proceed with the transaction. Oh right, there¡¯s a deposit of 10,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals which must be given immediately. Otherwise, I will not engage in business with the two of you." Wei Gongfeng was just about to speak when Zhu Yiyan lifted her hand and stopped him. She threw a storage bag to Mo Wuji and said, "There¡¯s 10,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals here, and I give you an incense¡¯s time to discuss." "The discussion time would be two hours. There¡¯s much that my senior sister and I have to talk about." Mo Wuji grabbed the storage bag, and said unkindly. "Two hours it is." Zhu Yiyan wasn¡¯t afraid that Mo Wuji was able to escape from this place. After giving Wei Gongfeng a meaningful glance, the two of them left the room swiftly. "Junior brother, sorry¡­ I¡¯ve done you harm¡­." Han Qingru wanted to continue speaking, but Mo Wuji raised his hand and stopped her. At the same time, Mo Wuji formed a barrier around himself. "Senior sister, we can talk about this later." After forming the barrier, Mo Wuji immediately grabbed a handful of those immortal crystals that Zhu Yiyan had just gave him, and started recovering his elemental energy. The immortal spiritual energy from within the intermediate grade immortal crystals were continuously being sucked out by Mo Wuji. In a short amount of time, the energy had enveloped Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body. Han Qingru knew that Mo Wuji was recovering his elemental energy, so she waited anxiously by the side. She was soon stupefied by what she saw before her; the rate at which Mo Wuji was extracting the spiritual energy from the immortal crystals was too terrifying. That large number of intermediate grade immortal crystals rapidly turned into dust. If it was her, she would have to cultivate for a long period of time to use thousands of intermediate grade immortal crystals. However, Mo Wuji was sucking these immortal crystals dry in the blink of an eye. What kind of junior brother did she find herself with? Mo Wuji¡¯s 108 meridians were absorbing the immortal spiritual energy unbridledly. With all 108 meridians in reverse circulation, a huge circulation path was formed; it would be weird if his absorption of spiritual energy was slow. Furthermore, he was trying to recover his power, so he absorbed the spiritual energy at a crazy pace. An hour passed. All the thousands of immortal crystals around Mo Wuji had already turned to dust. Mo Wuji heaved deeply and stopped his absorption. He wasn¡¯t able to recover his vitality immediately, but he was able to completely recover his elemental energy. "Junior brother, you¡¯re fully recovered?" Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji in pleasant surprise. "Pretty much. Senior sister, now tell me, exactly what happened? You seem to have been a battle not long ago?" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with doubt. Logically, if Han Qingru had been held hostage, there was no reason that she would have fought in a battle not long ago. "Because I have many low tiered immortal herbs with me. Even though they weren¡¯t very valuable, I had a lot of them. After coming to Can He City Square, I set up a stall and sold my immortal herbs. However, I never expected that Zhu Yiyan woman to discover something amiss; she actually noticed that I had just condensed my immortal lattice¡­" Confused, Mo Wuji asked, "There¡¯s nothing wrong with that, right? Here, there should be many people that have condensed their immortal lattice. Why did she pick on you?" Han Qingru said with guilt, "Not only was she able to see that I had just condensed my immortal lattice, she could even tell that my immortal lattice was condensed with over 100,000 immortal lattice stones. It seems like she could tell all this because my immortal lattice had yet to stabilise itself. Then, she told me that First Cultivator Merchant House required a large amount of these low tiered immortal herbs. I thought that her words were true, so I followed them here. I never imagined that after I entered, I would be ensnared in their trap array. They forced me to reveal where I obtained my immortal lattice stones from, but I didn¡¯t tell them anything. Because they wanted to obtain the whereabouts of the immortal lattice stones, they did not dare do anything to me. However, they wanted me to represent them in the Grand Trade Union Competition." "Grand Trade Union Competition?" Mo Wuji was completely unaware of what those words meant. Han Qingru explained, "I heard that the various city squares in the Corner of Yong Ying want to organise a large-scale auction. Various city squares, clans, sects and immortal cities would be allowed to participate in this auction, but the number of places are limited. The First Cultivator Merchant House is quite reputable in Can He City Square, but they aren¡¯t the sole power here. In Can He City, there are at least two to three other merchant houses like First Cultivator Merchant House. Because my immortal lattice is thicker, my power exceeded an average Heavenly immortal cultivator. Thus, they wanted me to fight for First Cultivator Merchant House. Because I didn¡¯t want them to completely turn on me, I could only agree." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was instantly filled with killing intent. Not only did they trap Han Qingru here as bait, they even wanted Han Qingru to risk her life for them. "Creak!" The door creaked open, Wei Gongfeng and Zhu Yiyan walked in. Behind them, was the thin man that brought Mo Wuji here. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and erased his barrier, staring coldly at the three of them. "Eh! You were injured previously?" Seeing that Mo Wuji was no longer that thin man filled with white hair, Zhu Yiyan exclaimed in surprise. However, she did not mind. Even if Mo Wuji had recovered his powers, First Cultivator Merchant House was the dictator here. "So how was your discussion?" Zhu Yiyan no longer asked about Mo Wuji¡¯s recovery. She didn¡¯t even bother to sit down, but stared straight towards Mo Wuji and asked. "You trapped my senior sister here, and you even get her to risk her life to fight for your First Cultivator Merchant House. We should first talk about reimbursements before going on to the matter of the immortal lattice stones¡­" "Courting death!" The moment Mo Wuji¡¯s words were uttered, the thin man snorted and pounced towards Mo Wuji. He did not place Mo Wuji in his eyes as his fist descended down towards Mo Wuji. When Zhu Yiyan saw this, a cold smile emerged on her face. At the same time, she threw out multiple array flags. Before those array flags could land on the ground, Mo Wuji also threw ten array flags out. At the same time, he took a step forward and punched forward. At this point, Mo Wuji did not intend to be friendly. This punch contained 80% of all his power. "Boom!" The two violent forces clashed against one another, splitting this room apart. "Pui!" The thin man opened his mouth and coughed out a mouthful of blood. His entire body was sent flying, smashing heavily against the wall, then immediately breaking the wall apart. With a "Blargh!", the thin man vomited out a huge mouthful of blood. Zhu Yiyan stared at Mo Wuji in shock, completely forgetting that the trap array had not trapped Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s punch did not utilise any skill; it was already so terrifying with pure, raw power. This was not someone that they could fight with. Chapter 463: Just A Heavenly Immortal Cultivator Chapter 463: Just A Heavenly Immortal Cultivator Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji in pleasant surprise. She was very clear of Mo Wuji¡¯s power; that punch just now was even stronger than when he killed the Ji brothers. Moreover, she knew that Mo Wuji did not exert all his power with that punch. When Mo Wuji killed the Ji brothers, his punch was merged with heavenly fire. If Mo Wuji had merged his previous punch with heavenly fire, that thin man from First Cultivator Merchant House would have probably been killed. Could Mo Wuji have advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Stage? But she didn¡¯t see Mo Wuji pass his tribulation? Mo Wuji looked just like an ordinary mortal; he did not exude any hints of spirituality. From the surface, it could not been seen whether he was a Heavenly Immortal or an Earthly Immortal. "Why aren¡¯t you afraid of the trap array?" Wei Gongfeng exhaled deeply, asking in disbelief. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and threw out additional array flags, then he said indifferently, "Now, we can discuss about the reimbursement. You cheated my senior sister, and you made her slave for you. How many immortal crystals do you intend to pay?" When Wei Gongfeng heard these words, he chuckled loudly. He extended his hand and a flying sword appeared in his hand. Before Wei Gongfeng could throw the flying sword, Zhu Yiyan suddenly grabbed his hand, "Brother Wei, we¡¯ve been trapped." Wei Gongfeng wasn¡¯t adept with arrays. When he heard Zhu Yiyan¡¯s words, he asked in aghast, "Yiyan, this is First Cultivator Merchant House. We are the ones in control¡­" Zhu Yiyan didn¡¯t reply to Wei Gongfeng¡¯s words, but clasped her fists towards Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Mo, I know that your skill over arrays far exceeds mine. In the blink of an eye, you have already reversed the trap array. But if you wish to use this trap array on us, I have to tell you, that you¡¯re terribly wrong. My First Cultivator Merchant House has stood tall for so long, we are not completely helpless." When he heard these words, Wei Gongfeng came to an understanding, and he hurriedly scanned outwards with his spiritual will. Soon, his face changed drastically; his spiritual will had actually been blocked. Not only that, within the region of his spiritual will, there were radiant blades revolving around. Clearly, these moving radiant blades had already gone under Mo Wuji¡¯s control. This Mo Wu¡¯s [1] skill with arrays was so strong? Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation technique was the reverse circulation technique. Coupled with his knowledge on arrays, he easily reversed the trap array. Seeing that Zhu Yiyan wanted to discuss conditions with his, he continued to threaten, "If I want to deal with the lot of you, I wouldn¡¯t even need to use this trap array. Didn¡¯t you see, I didn¡¯t even carry on to install the array flags for a killing array. If I bring out all my array flags, I wouldn¡¯t even need to make a move to kill the load of you. I really don¡¯t care much your people in the First Cultivator Merchant House." When Zhu Yiyan heard these words, her heart skipped a beat; she believed that Mo Wuji definitely wasn¡¯t lying to her. A person that could easily reverse her trap array, how could he be a simple person? "Dao Friend Mo, this incident is truly the fault of our First Cultivator Merchant House. Actually, the trap arrays in our First Cultivator Merchant House weren¡¯t installed by me. If we cause too much trouble, we might alarm that senior." Zhu Yiyan finally understood why Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t afraid and didn¡¯t hesitate when he first entered this room; he simply didn¡¯t fear any trap array here. "Since the two of you don¡¯t wish to discuss on our reimbursement, then there¡¯s no need to talk any further." After he finished this sentence, Mo Wuji threw out ten more array flags; wistful killing intent immediately pervaded through the room. As the array flags continued to descend to the ground, concentrated and shrill sounds of gushing winds filled the air. In a short amount of time, the killing array had been activated. Mo Wuji clearly wasn¡¯t boasting; he really had the capability to do as he said. Zhu Yiyan¡¯s face turned more unsightly. She understood a bit about arrays, and knew that Mo Wuji had installed a killing array. "Wait, Dao Friend Mo, how to you want us to compensate you?" Zhu Yiyan finally relented. If Mo Wuji dared to install a killing array here, that meant that he clearly wasn¡¯t afraid of any consequences. Before this fella decided to kill them, she hurriedly agreed to his demand. Mo Wuji stopped, then said calmly, "Firstly, compensate us 500,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. Secondly, I need one of the placings that my senior sister fought so hard for. I don¡¯t like to negotiate. If you agree, then that¡¯s it. If you disagree, then it will begin." "We haven¡¯t even gotten those placings, you¡­" Zhu Yiyan inhaled deeply, then stopped Wei Gongfeng from speaking. She solemnly said, "Alright. This is the jade token to enter the auction venue, it can allow two people in." Zhu Yiyan threw a jade token towards Mo Wuji. Thereafter, she threw a storage bag to Mo Wuji, "These are 500,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals." Mo Wuji accepted the jade token and the storage bag. With a scan of his spiritual will, he knew that the jade token was real, and the storage bag also contained 500,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. He nodded, then fetched his array flags. After which, he said to Han Qingru, "Senior sister, let¡¯s go." When they reached the entrance, Mo Wuji seemed to recall something. He threw one immortal lattice stone to Zhu Yiyan, "This is what you bought with your 10,000 immortal crystal deposit, here you go." ¡­ "Why did you let him go? We have gave him 500,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals like that? Even if he was adept with arrays and had trapped us, we were perfectly able to have sent out a distress message. I just don¡¯t believe that he is able to kill everyone in our First Cultivator Merchant House," After Mo Wuji and Han Qingru left, Wei Gongfeng asked with an unsightly expression.. Furthermore, that jade token was the First Cultivator Merchant House¡¯s original placing. Can He City Square had a total of four such tokens, three had been given to three merchant houses, including First Cultivator Merchant House. The last one was what they were competing for. Now, the placing that they had already obtained have been taken by someone. Zhu Yiyan¡¯s face was even uglier, "You think that I wanted to let him go? I only did so because I know that he was definitely able to slaughter the entire First Cultivator Merchant House." "What?" Wei Gongfeng stared at Zhu Yiyan in disbelief, "He¡¯s just a Heavenly Immortal cultivator." Zhu Yiyan snorted, "Just a Heavenly Immortal cultivator? Have you heard of the cultivator from Half Immortal Domain that entered the Immortal Chasm alone, and even successfully traversed it?" "I heard of it¡­" Wei Gongfeng only replied half a sentence before he turned to stare at Zhu Yiyan in disbelief, "Yiyan, you¡¯re saying that he is that cultivator?" Zhu Yiyan nodded, "If I¡¯m not wrong, he is definitely that cultivator. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have so many immortal lattice crystals, but yet, hadn¡¯t condensed his immortal lattice. An Earthly Immortal that could cross the Immortal Chasm, you know how terrifying is that? If it was us, even if our powers were multiplied by ten times, we still wouldn¡¯t be able to cross the Immortal Chasm, right? Moreover, that person was also adroit with arrays." Wei Gongfeng went silent. A cultivator from Half Immortal Domain had crossed the Immortal Chasm; this news had already gradually spread throughout the Corner of Yong Ying. The reason why it was spread, was because this cultivator had defended himself against the spatial blade array at the edge of the Immortal Chasm. Facing this spatial blade array, there¡¯s no need to talk about him alone, even ten Wei Gongfengs wouldn¡¯t be enough to defend against it. If Mo Wuji was truly that cultivator, then he truly did have the ability to slaughter the entire First Cultivator Merchant House. Zhu Yiyan suddenly snorted, "But out First Cultivator Merchant House isn¡¯t so easily bullied." "Yiyan, you¡¯re saying?" Wei Gongfeng also seemed to have the same intentions as Zhu Yiyan. Zhu Yiyan said viciously, "That person took away our jade token to enter the Corner of Yong Ying Joint Auction. He would definitely participate in it. Our First Cultivator Merchant House might be helpless against him, but they doesn¡¯t mean that others would be the same. There would be a few Golden Immortal experts taking part in the auction. I don¡¯t believe that those Golden Immortals would do nothing when they know that this person has a large amount of immortal lattice stones on him. Wei Gongfeng understood the meaning behind Zhu Yiyan¡¯s words. He instantly chuckled loudly, "Yiyan, you¡¯re indeed smarter than me." ¡­ "Junior brother, you¡¯ve advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage?" The moment they left Can He City Square, Han Qingru asked eagerly. Mo Wuji nodded, "I already advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage when you were condensing your immortal lattice. You didn¡¯t notice because you were condensing your immortal lattice. We need to find some place now, I also want to condense my immortal lattice." [1] If you forgot, this is Mo Wuji¡¯s alias, while Han Qingru took up the name, Mo Ru. Chapter 464: Mo Wuji’s Tomb Chapter 464: Mo Wuji¡¯s Tomb Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Yes, I need to first find a place to condense my immortal lattice. After I finish with that, we can go to the Immortal Seeking Staircase," Mo Wuji answered. Han Qingru asked in doubt, "Junior brother, you managed to get the placing to enter the Corner of Yong Ying Joint Auction, but you¡¯re not intending to go?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "I can¡¯t go. The reason why I had them give me the jade token was because I¡¯m not intending to go. I dare say, if I were to go, no matter how I disguise myself, I would still be encircled by Golden Immortals. I have never seen the power of a Golden Immortal, but even if I condense my immortal lattice, I dare not say that I can trump over a Golden Immortal. And if there are more than one Golden Immortal, then it would be hard for me to even escape." Han Qingru¡¯s experience could not be compared to Mo Wuji. After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she suddenly woke up her idea. The reason why that First Cultivator Merchant House woman didn¡¯t hesitate to agree to Junior Brother Mo¡¯s demands was because she believed that Junior Brother Mo would definitely go to the auction. If he did, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. "Sorry." As Han Qingru thought about the mess she created, she felt very guilty. Mo Wuji laughed gently, "It¡¯s okay. I used to be a white paper like you. Actually, I couldn¡¯t even be compared to you; I was even stabbed in the back by the person I trusted the most. I guess, maturation comes with a price." "Oh, who¡¯s that?" Han Qingru asked in astonishment. She felt that Mo Wuji was a principled man, and not some hypocrite who double crosses his friends. Since that person was Mo Wuji¡¯s friend, why would he stab Mo Wuji in the back? Mo Wuji shook his head, "It¡¯s okay. I have already forgotten about such matters. Let¡¯s return back and start condensing my immortal lattice." ¡­ Jing Yang, one of the seven biggest cities in China. Even in the entire world, Jing Yang was considered a first class city. Mount Jing Shou, the tallest mountain outside of Jing Yang City. The Jing Yang River winds around Mount Jing Yang, supplementing Mount Jing Yang¡¯s majesty and grandeur. At this instant, on the side of Mount Jing Shou closer to the river, a young woman in a white dress was standing in front of a tomb. She seemed to be like a statue as she stood there, unmoving. If not for the gentle breeze which caused her dress to flutter, many would have thought that she was really a statue. The chill of the evening on Qing Ming Festival [1] was unable to do anything to her. There were two rows of words inscribed on the tomb: Mo Wuji¡¯s Tomb; Erected by Wen Xiaoqi. The sun trembled slightly as it approached the West, radiating brilliant red light; this scene looked especially beautiful. After some unknown period of time, this white dressed woman bowed slowly. With a hoarse and raspy voice, she muttered, "Another year of Qing Ming. I don¡¯t pray for your forgiveness, I just hope that you¡­" As she got to this point, she seemed to be unable to speak any further, slowly clenching her fists tightly. A woman holding a bamboo basket slowly walked over; her steps seemed to be accompanied with a limp. When she reached the back of this white dressed woman, she remained silent without a word. The white dressed woman seemed to know that someone had come. She slowly turned to see the woman, who had an aged expression on her face. After some time, the white dressed woman finally said, "Xiaoqi, thanks for helping Wuji erect his tomb. Also, thank you for taking care of it over these years." The woman with the aged look said calmly, "Xia Ruoyin, everything that I did has nothing to do with you." After finishing this sentence, the aged woman named ¡®Xiaoqi¡¯ slowly walked in front of the tomb. She took out some offerings from her bamboo basket and placed them in front of the tomb. After which, she took out some paper money [2] and burned it. Each action she took was meticulous and smooth, as though she was already used to it. Xia Ruoyin looked at this woman; this woman was two years younger than her, but this woman¡¯s face was actually so hardened and mature. After some time, she suddenly turned. Soon, she was already in the distance. After some time, Wen Xiaoqi also turned her head; she stared at the silhouette of Xia Ruoyin and tightly clenched her fists. She sighed, then lowered her head and muttered to herself, "Sorry, Wuji. I¡¯m not able to help you take revenge and kill this despicable woman." "You know?" An icy cold voice suddenly sounded beside Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s ear. Wen Xiaoqi stared at Xia Ruoyin in astonishment. She had clearly seen Xia Ruoyin walk off into the distance, how could she have suddenly appeared in front of her? However, she immediately cast that thought aside. Her tone was calm as she said, "That¡¯s right, I know everything. Wuji had been stabbed in the back. He spent his time every day occupied with his research. Besides you, no one else would have been allowed into his lab. Wuji gave his heart to you, but because of a drug formula, you actually plotted against him. You¡¯re not a human, you can¡¯t even be considered a beast." Xia Ruoyin¡¯s face turned pale white. She slowly lifted her hand; her body emanated heavy killing intent. Wen Xiaoqi sneered, "I also know that that after you obtained Wuji¡¯s drug formula, you came into some great fortune. Otherwise, your look wouldn¡¯t have remained unchanged throughout the years. But I, Wen Xiaoqi have nothing to fear. I may not be able to help Wuji take revenge, but it could also be a form of satisfaction to be able to die beside Wuji." "You really wanted to kill me?" When Xia Ruoyin heard these words, she unexpectedly put her hands down. Wen Xiaoqi glanced at Xia Ruoyin in disdain, "I simply wish to devour your meat and drink your blood. I didn¡¯t get married, precisely because I wanted to find the chance to kill you. Unfortunately, I know that I will never have that chance anymore." With that, Wen Xiaoqi did not even give Xia Ruoyin a second glance. She slowly turned back, and continued to throw some paper money into the fire. The expression on Xia Ruoyin¡¯s face changed multiple times. Finally, she turned. Her figure flashed, and soon disappeared, floating away just like a leaf. ¡­ In the cave at the periphery of Five Lotus Mountain, Mo Wuji was surrounded by piles of immortal lattice stones. He grabbed one immortal lattice stone, then tried to feel the energy within according to the method that Han Qingru had taught him. Thereafter, he tried to absorb that energy to condense his immortal lattice. There seemed to be some unfathomable dao energy within the immortal lattice stone. However, what caused Mo Wuji¡¯s expression to change was that he was completely unable to absorb even a hint of dao energy from the immortal lattice stone. If he couldn¡¯t even extract the energy from within, how was he going to condense his immortal lattice? After an entire day, nothing happened to the immortal lattice stone in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. It looked exactly the same. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk slightly, but he didn¡¯t go and ask Han Qingru for help. He was sure that even Han Qingru wouldn¡¯t understand the reason behind this. Perhaps it was related to his cultivation technique. He didn¡¯t have spiritual roots, but created the meridian cultivation technique. Perhaps, in the entire universe, he might be the only person that could have reached the Heavenly Immortal Stage without spiritual roots. Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue to condense his spiritual lattice. He retrieved a pile of immortal crystals, then started to convert his elemental energy to immortal elemental energy. His 108 meridians were simultaneously in reverse circulation, forming a huge reverse circulation path. Mo Wuji merely spent half a month to fully convert his elemental energy to immortal elemental energy. When Mo Wuji advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, the elemental energy within him was already brimming to the seams. Now that it had been converted to immortal elemental energy, his power had risen by multiple folds. After converting his elemental energy, Mo Wuji took out the immortal lattice stone again. Previously, he suspected that he might have been unable to condense his immortal lattice due to the fact that his elemental energy had yet to be converted. What left Mo Wuji disappointed was, even after his elemental energy had been converted to immortal elemental energy, he was still unable to condense his immortal lattice. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Once again, he kept all the immortal lattice stones around him. He felt a little despondent. He had went through so much difficulties to excavate so many immortal lattice stones but he wasn¡¯t able to even use one of them. Wasn¡¯t this simply wasting his efforts? Now, he was worried that if he hadn¡¯t condensed his immortal lattice, would he still be able to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase? Regardless, he couldn¡¯t stay here any further. Mo Wuji opened his restrictions and walked out. Han Qingru, who was cultivating, noticed Mo Wuji and immediately stood up, "Junior brother, you¡¯ve already condensed your immortal lattice?" Mo Wuji nodded, "En, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s see the Immortal Seeking Staircase." [1] Qing Ming Festival is the Tomb-Sweeping Festival of the Chinese. What the Chinese do during this festival can be inferred from its name. [2] The Chinese burn paper money as offerings for the dead. This paper money can be used as currency by the dead in the Underworld. Besides, paper money, they also burn many other kinds of paper objects, such as paper houses or even paper Ferraris. Chapter 465: Without A Domain Chapter 465: Without A Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Sensing that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t feeling too pleasant, Han Qingru didn¡¯t continue questioning him as she could roughly guess why Mo Wuji was feeling like this. No matter how good Mo Wuji was at condensing his immortal lattice, he couldn¡¯t have condense much in just half a month¡¯s time. The lesser the number of immortal lattice stones used, the weaker his condensed immortal lattice would be. One must know, she had spent half a year to condense her immortal lattice and with her speed, she only managed to used over 600,000 immortal lattice stones. Now that Mo Wuji had only used half a month, one could imagine how little immortal lattice stones he would have used. "Oh yes, Senior Sister Qingru, may I ask if you know about the Gods Tower?" Mo Wuji suddenly remembered about his initial deal with the Heaven Seeking Palace¡¯s white moustached fishing elder. Han Qingru looked slightly at loss as she replied, "I don¡¯t know anything about it. Junior brother, why do you ask?" "It¡¯s okay. Oh, is it a must for one to condense the immortal lattice before ascending the Immortal Seeking Staircase?" Mo Wuji guessed that this matter should be related to the Immortal World, and should probably have nothing to do with the Corner of Yong Ying. As for the Half Moon Prison, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother asking about it as he was sure that Han Qingru wouldn¡¯t know anything about it. Han Qingru nodded, "Of course, the Immortal Seeking Staircase contains the law of the Heaven Dao and unless you¡¯re born in the Immortal World, you will not be able to step onto the Immortal Seeking Staircase." "Since this is the case, I will send you to the Immortal Seeking Staircase first," Mo Wuji responded quickly. Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji and asked in doubt, "Junior brother, won¡¯t you be ascending the Immortal Seeking Staircase with me?" Mo Wuji answered awkwardly, "I still have a few friends here and they all came from Half Immortal Domain. A portion of the immortal lattice stones I have with me belongs to them so I would naturally have to return their share of the lattice stones. Otherwise, they would never be able to condense their immortal lattice." "I am willing to go with you," Han Qingru answered as if it was inevitable that she would follow Mo Wuji. Just as Mo Wuji was about to reply, his spiritual will sensed the silhouette of a familiar person passing by. Tong Ye? Just as he saw the silhouette disappearing in his spiritual will, before Mo Wuji could chase after him, he sensed another two more silhouette following him. "I saw someone I know," The moment he finished saying this, he executed his Wind Escape Technique. Han Qingru saw that Mo Wuji had already left, she followed closely behind him. Even though her speed was nowhere near Mo Wuji¡¯s, she wouldn¡¯t lose track of him even if she was not capable of catching up to him. After one hour, Tong Ye came to a halt as his spiritual will could sense that Mo Wuji was right behind him too. "Why did you stop running?" The duo chasing Tong Ye were both in the advanced Heavenly Immortal Stage as they stood on either side of him, trapping him in the centre. Tong Ye drew out his Ascending Dragon Knot but stared at the direction which the two of them came from. "Is it really you, Brother Mo?" Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique was extremely fast so in a blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of them. After confirming that he was really Mo Wuji, Tong Ye shouted out in excitement. The two Heavenly Immortal Cultivators blocking Tong Ye turned and guarded against Mo Wuji cautiously as they were naturally aware that someone was following right behind them too. However, they believed that whoever Mo Wuji was, he wouldn¡¯t interfere with their affairs. Now that they saw how Mo Wuji recognised Tong Ye, the expressions on their faces turned ugly. "Brother Tong, it has only been a while since we last met and congratulations on advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage," Mo Wuji laughed and said as he could notice how the dense immortal elemental energy were surrounding Tong Ye¡¯s body. He didn¡¯t only advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, he managed to convert his elemental energy into immortal elemental energy too. "I thought¡­" Tong Ye was indeed very surprised as he truly believed that Mo Wuji had fallen in the Immortal Chasm. He would never have expected Mo Wuji to survive the Immortal Chasm and even appeared fine like he was now. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "We can talk about this later." Among the two who were chasing after Tong Ye, the man with the slightly darker skin clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Dao friend here, this man sneaked from the Half Immortal Domain and we will be representing the Yong Ying Immortal Domain to take him away. May we ask that you do not interfere with this?" Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "I came from the Half Immortal Domainso why don¡¯t you bring me away too?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the two cultivators exchanged glances with each other before taking a few steps back to trap Mo Wuji in the centre with Tong Ye. The duo didn¡¯t act immediately because they were aware that another person was about to arrive. Half a moment later, Han Qingru arrived beside Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything to her, she had already realised what situation they were in. Even before Mo Wuji drew out his magic treasure, Han Qingru took the initiative to draw out her¡¯s first. "Let¡¯s do it¡­" The black face cultivator saw Han Qingru¡¯s posture and knew that this fight was inevitable. A few metres long whip was swung towards Mo Wuji while the other cultivator charged towards Han Qingru and Tong ye. It was evident that the duo had already planned things out as they would have already sensed that Mo Wuji had the lowest cultivator level among the three of them while Han Qingru was the strongest. Han Qingru had already condensed her immortal lattice and exuded strong aura. On the other hand, Tong Ye had probably been cultivating in the Half Immortal Domain for many years so advancing into the Heavenly Immortal Stage would only be natural once he reached here. Mo Wuji looked the youngest among them and his spirituality seemed extremely ordinary so he was treated as the weakest. The black face cultivator wanted to get rid of Mo Wuji first before joining hands to deal with Han Qingru and Tong Ye. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t draw out his Tian Ji Pole not only because the Tian Ji Pole couldn¡¯t catch up with his cultivation level, but because in his previous battle with the Ji Brothers, he felt that the Tian Ji Pole was not suitable to become his magic treasure. He was able to separate gratitude and hatred and was even more direct during combats. To him, hard-edged magic treasure like saber, sharp axe or blade would suit him more. A pole was simply too gentle for Mo Wuji to feel the thrill in using it. The black face cultivator¡¯s long whip was like a dragon as a terrifying roar could be heard before locking onto Mo Wuji. A huge domain extended outwards and Mo Wuji noticed it in an instant. Previously, when Ji Yan used a domain to lock him in, Mo Wuji felt as though he had stepped into a quagmire and found it extremely difficult to move his body. Presently, it was the same technique but Mo Wuji realised that this domain was even stronger than Ji Yan¡¯s one. However, Mo Wuji was still able to step out of it and threw out a punch without restrictions. "Boom!" A flame, which seemed like it could set the space between them on fire, charged out and this useless domain was instantly cracked apart. The powerful flame continued to bind him up and there was a drastic change in the black face cultivator¡¯s expression. "Heavenly Fire sacred art?" The cultivator kept shifting his body in an attempt to prevent himself from being binded by Mo Wuji¡¯s flames. However, he realised it a little too late as Mo Wuji¡¯s flaming punch had already pierced through his chest. "Puff!" A mist of blood appeared as his body was torn apart. Throughout the whole battle, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother about this long whip because other than being confident of his Heavenly Fire sacred art, he wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. Mo Wuji was eventually struck by this whip and a stream of blood flowed out from Mo Wuji¡¯s back. Mo Wuji only furrowed his brows as he didn¡¯t even bother to try and heal his injuries. The long whip had lost it¡¯s ferocity because the black face cultivator died which was why it didn¡¯t hurt Mo Wuji badly. The reason why Mo Wuji furrowed his brows was because he couldn¡¯t understand why he was also in the Heavenly Immortal Stage yet he hadn¡¯t gain any insights of the power of domain. The only difference was that before he advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, Ji Yan was able to restrain him but this black face cultivator failed to do so. However, this didn¡¯t alter the fact that he didn¡¯t possess the power of having a domain of his own. If he had his own domain, he would not only be able to finish the opponent off easily, the opponent wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt him at all. After witnessing how his partner was killed by a single punch from Mo Wuji, the fear in the other Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivator grew exponentially as he simply fled and ran without a single thought of attacking Mo Wuji. Han Qingru¡¯s power was much stronger than his so the moment he turned, he was restrained by Han Qingru¡¯s domain and then Tong Ye¡¯s Ascending Dragon Knot pierced through his neck in the very next second. "Brother Mo, you have indeed advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage," Tong Ye exclaimed ecstatically. He didn¡¯t find it odd that Mo Wuji was able to kill that advanced Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivator in seconds because he was clearly aware of how unbelievable Mo Wuji was. Previously, even though Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was considered to be the lowest in the Half Immortal Domain, his strength was uncomparable in the entire Half Immortal Domain. Now that Mo Wuji had advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, he wouldn¡¯t even need to break a sweat when facing someone of the same stage as he was in. Mo Wuji picked up the black face cultivator¡¯s storage ring and said, "Brother Tong, what was going on? Are there any differences in cultivators from the Half Immortal Domain and the Corner of Yong Ying?" Tong Ye kept the other storage ring as he handed it over to Han Qingru, who rejected it hurriedly. "Keep the storage ring for yourself. This is Han Qingru. Senior Sister Qingru, this is Tong Ye and he came from the Half Immortal Domain together with me. Brother Tong, why don¡¯t you tell me what on earth was going on?" Mo Wuji stopped Tong Ye from passing the storage ring to Han Qingru and briefly introduced the both of them. Tong Ye didn¡¯t stand on any ceremony as he bowed slightly towards Han Qingru before keeping the storage ring and said, "To be honest, I have no idea what was happening too. Initially after we traversed the Immortal Chasm, we discussed and came to a common consensus to each keep a communication bead with us and then went our separate ways temporarily. The Immortal-Traversing ship was left with Lou Chuanhe¡­" Mo Wuji retrieved his flying ship as he said, "We will talk as we move because we cannot afford to stay here for long." Once Tong Ye and Han Qingru boarded the ship, Mo Wuji started driving the ship as he started to suspect if he was overthinking things. He thought that Master Pu Zi would suggest keeping the Immortal-Traversing Ship and he really didn¡¯t expect that it would end up with Lou Chuanhe. This was because back when they were forming the team, Mo Wuji felt that Master Pu Zi was the only one who joined him for his own personal interest. The rest of them joined because of their friendship with Mo Wuji "Back then, my brother and I moved off together while I saw senior Lou Chuanhe moving together with Jia Qi. Abacus went with Ku Ya while Kou Yuan and Master Pu Zi went on their separate ways¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t ask where Tong Cheng went as he believed that Tong Ye would explain. Indeed, Tong Ye continued, "My brother and my cultivation level had reached the peak or the Earthly Immortal Stage and we were only short of a suitable environment to undergo our tribulation. After we reach the Half Immortal Domain, it didn¡¯t take us long after going behind closed doors to feel the lightning tribulation and we even managed to succeed in a remote place. After we succeeded, we received news from senior sister Jia Qi that senior brother Chuanhe and herself were being chased down by people from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Eventually, senior brother Chuanhe was captured¡­" Chapter 466: Fist Domain Chapter 466: Fist Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji turned solemn because frankly speaking, even though there were so many people on the Immortal-Traversing Ship, Mo Wuji was the closest to Lou Chuanhe. This wasn¡¯t just because both of them were Star Lords of the Star King Mountain. More importantly, Lou Chuanhe was forthright and could be a considered as his true friend. "Has Jia Qi informed everyone else who reached the Corner of Yong Ying?" Mo Wuji was fully aware that he was still not strong enough to go against the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, he was already one of the strongest among those who came over from the Half Immortal Domain which meant that even if Jia Qi were to inform the rest, they might not be able to save Lou Chuanhe. Tong Ye nodded his head, "Yes, when we saw Jia Qi, she told us that she had already informed everyone who descended from the Immortal-Traversing Ship but two of them hadn¡¯t arrived." "Who were the two?" Mo Wuji asked. "Ku Ya, the girl who was always with Abacus, hadn¡¯t arrived. Abacus said that Ku Ya and himself separated after arriving at a neighbourhood city and then she became uncontactable ever since. The other person was Master Pu Zi," Tong Ye replied. "What about the rest of the crew?" Mo Wuji suddenly felt a slight chill down his spine. Tong Ye said depressingly, "My brother broke a limb and is better off dead. Abacus¡¯s cultivation was wasted and was left alone in the periphery of the city. Kou Yuan was killed while Jia Qi was captured alive. I am the only one who managed to escape¡­" Mo Wuji clenched his fist and even though he knew he wouldn¡¯t be strong enough, he had to make a trip to the Ying Bian City. Initially, everyone agreed to establish the Tian Ji Sect but now, he, the sect head, is still alive while some of his members were killed, hurt and on the run. If the sect head doesn''t make an appearance to do something about it, he wouldn¡¯t be able to live with this guilty conscience. "Brother Mo¡­" Tong Ye noticed the burst of killing intent around Mo Wuji and hurried to speak, "Ying Bian City has a few Golden Immortal experts and we would simply be courting death by heading there." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath before saying calmly, "I know that heading there now would be equivalent to throwing our lives away but I have to go. I won¡¯t go now, but I have to fight for those who¡¯s lives are still in danger." After he said this, Mo Wuji turned and said to Han Qingru, "Senior Sister Qingru, your immortal lattice has been condensed so please go ahead to the Immortal World first. Members of my sect have been trapped in the Ying Bian City and I have to make a trip there." Han Qingru looked calmly at Mo Wuji and said, "Junior brother, back when I was chased by Lao Cai, you helped me till the end. Now that you need help, you want me to go to the Immortal World first? Could it be that in your eyes, I am the type of person who is ungrateful and afraid of danger?" Mo Wuji was shocked as he immediately understood Han Qingru¡¯s temperament. Even though she looked extremely gentle and kind, she had her own set of values. It was just like how she went to the city square previously even though he insisted that she shouldn¡¯t take such a risk. "Junior brother, what is your sect called?" Han Qingru saw that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t answer her so she asked once more. "It¡¯s called Tian Ji Sect. I have no idea if there was a Tian Ji Sect in the Immortal World so I simply established a Tian Ji Sect," Mo Wuji answered. Han Qingru chuckled, "In the future, I am a member of the Tian Ji Sect too." "Alright," Mo Wuji was extremely straightforward because after being convinced that Han Qingru wouldn¡¯t go to the Immortal Seeking Staircase alone, he didn¡¯t bother trying to persuade her. "Brother Mo, do we go over now?" Tong Ye also knew that going over now would mean death but with his brother suffering, he simply couldn¡¯t let it go just like that. "No, we will head towards the auction first," Mo Wuji stared at Han Qingru and said, "Senior Sister Qingru, how long more before the auction starts? And where is the auction held at?" Mo Wuji was aware of the high possibility of death if he were to go against the Ying Bian City now without condensing his immortal lattice. This was why he would like to participate in the auction first to get his hands on some valuable magic treasures. The other reason would be that he needed to improve his Heavenly Fire Sacred Art to a higher level. "Ah, but¡­" Qingru looked suspiciously at Mo Wuji because she recalled Mo Wuji saying that going to the auction now would be equivalent to walking into a lion¡¯s den now. Mo Wuji sighed, "I know, but if we couldn¡¯t even deal with the threats of this auction, there would be no point in us going to the Ying Bian City." Han Qingru didn¡¯t question any further because she understood Mo Wuji¡¯s train of thoughts. Mo Wuji wanted to improve his own strength and prestige through fresh blood from this auction before heading towards the Ying Bian City. There were no shortcuts heading into a place like this Ying Bian City and there was only one way to enter it, which would be to fight their way in. Mo Wuji might be strong but no matter how strong he was now, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fight his way into the Ying Bian City no matter what. Doing so would simply put himself in the field of death and the only way to survive would be to fight. Han Qingru sighed because she understood Mo Wuji. Besides trying to become stronger, he wanted to search for opportunities from the auction to increase their odds of survival. Her life was saved by Mo Wuji so if she were to walk away at a time like this, she would never be able to forgive herself for doing so. Mo Wuji was aware of how she felt so he didn¡¯t bother convincing her. "It is held at the Jin Yun City Square in which we would need about three days to travel there. The auction starts six days later," Han Qingru answered. Mo Wuji nodded, "Senior Sister Qingru, you take the helm of the ship because I need some time to enlighten a sacred art of my own. Inform me the moment we reached the Jin Yun City Square." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t offer Tong Ye to condense his immortal lattice because he wouldn¡¯t achieve much in just a few days¡¯ time. What he needed now was to enlighten his own Heavenly Fire Sacred Art so that even without having his own domain, he wouldn¡¯t need to fear a Heavenly Immortal. The only worry would be the Golden Immortal but if his Heavenly Fire Sacred Art could also kill a Golden Immortal, he would have a shot at survival in the Ying Bian City. After handing the ship to Han Qingru, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t enter a cabin but instead, he headed straight to the stern of the ship. He needed to become stronger desperately. If it wasn¡¯t for the extreme simplicity of his immortal mortal technique, Mo Wuji was even thinking of enlightening a sacred art from that technique. Mo Wuji set up a simple concealment array and a pile of intermediate grade immortal crystals beside himself as he started using of his Dao revelation channel. The Dao revelation channel was originally used to enlighten sacred art but this was indeed his first time using it to enlighten a sacred art. The Heavenly Fire Sacred Art was enlightened by Mo Wuji during his time in the Immortal Chasm and if not for the crisis he was facing back then, Mo Wuji might not be able to combine his fist with the heavenly fire in his attack. Even though the Heavenly Fire Sacred Art was very strong, Mo Wuji was clearly aware of its shortfall. It was simply too simple because he could only depend on his aura to restrain the opponent. The moment the opponent could break his heavenly fire restraint, his sacred art would be meaningless. Now that he didn¡¯t even possess the domain, his sacred art could only be used together with the spatial imprisonment. The moment the opponent managed to dodge his first Heavenly Fire Sacred Art attack, Mo Wuji would have the advantage. However, the spatial imprisonment was his killer mace so he really didn¡¯t want to tie his killer mace tightly to his Heavenly Fire Sacred Art. This was why Mo Wuji had to consider his next move after a Golden Immortal dodged his first attack. The grade of the Nirvana Pole Shadow was simply too low so it was immediately eliminated by Mo Wuji. Lightning sword would be decent but it was still lacking when compared to his Heavenly Fire Sacred Art. As for his Shifting Flowers and Auxiliary Sacred Art, it was too incomplete to be used. The only way he could improve his strength was through the Heavenly Fire Sacred Art. The Dao spirituality of the Dao revelation channel fused with the Dao spirituality of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Art and in just a few days, Mo Wuji was in the midst of deducing a new sacred art. The Heavenly Fire Punch was constantly changing its form in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. In his mind, the Heavenly Fire Punch was constantly being thrown out and with every punch, he was able to punch out an aisle of flame within the space. When cultivators with weaker cultivation level were up against such a flame, their mind would be restrained by this Heavenly Fire. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s intention was not to deal with cultivators with weaker cultivation level. The punch was still constantly changing while he was still in the midst of deducing a perfect one. It changed from the Nirvana Pole Shadow to all sorts of shapes of lightning punch and eventually returned to its original form. No matter what it turned to, Mo Wuji still felt that there was something lacking which was why he preferred its original form. The only difference was that this punch no longer required the nature of the Heavenly Fire to restrain his opponent because after he threw out this punch, it developed a new domain of its own, the fist domain. This came as a huge surprise to Mo Wuji because even before he could develop his own heavenly immortal domain, his sacred art had developed its own domain. As he threw this punch out, the surrounding of this punch formed into spiritual imprisonment and this belonged to his first domain. As long as the opponent was within the range of this punch, he would be trapped in the domain. Mo Wuji stood up and threw out yet another punch. This time round, he could clearly feel the different sectors of the space around the fist being restricted. "Boom!¡¯ The terrifying aura of the Heavenly Fire exploded within the space and a deathly pitched black space was punched open by Mo Wuji. The space trembled vigorously as it knocked off the flying ship which Mo Wuji was on. Chapter 467: Mo Wuji’s Suspicion Chapter 467: Mo Wuji¡¯s Suspicion Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations However, this fist didn¡¯t just end here as the fan shaped fist domain exploded too. The explosive flame from the Heavenly Fire enveloped all the blackness caused by the punch. The piles of immortal crystals surrounding Mo Wuji were destroyed as Mo Wuji hurried to absorb all the immortal elemental energy in time. In this short period of time, Mo Wuji could feel a surge of energy within his body as he advanced straight into the intermediate Heavenly Immortal Stage. The flying ship couldn¡¯t stop trembling as Han Qingru landed the flying ship forcefully on the ground. "Junior brother, what was going on?" The moment she stopped the ship, Han Qingru rushed to the stern of the ship. Tong Ye followed as they had no idea how Mo Wuji caused such an uproar. The immortal elemental energy around Mo Wuji started to regain its calmness as he smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just got enlightened so I threw out a punch. Senior Sister Qingru, how far are we from the Jin Yun City Square?" "We have arrived. Now, we would only need to walk for another one hour and we will be there," Han Qingru hurried to answer. Mo Wuji revealed a shocked expression, "I have been in closed doors cultivation for three days?" He felt as though it had only be a moment but in actual fact, three days had passed? "No, senior sister had already reduce our speed. You have been cultivating for five days already," Tong Ye added. Time was indeed the least valuable thing during cultivation. Mo Wuji kept the flying ship and said, "Since this was the case, let¡¯s go now." "Aren¡¯t we using a disguise?" Han Qingru asked subconsciously as she continued to wonder if the First Cultivator Merchant House would send any Golden Immortals there. "There is no need for that, we shall walk without disguise," Mo Wuji answered as he was aware that putting on disguises wouldn¡¯t be of much use. After making his decision to come, he was ready for a fight before leaving. If he couldn¡¯t even survive this place, he could really forget about the Ying Bian City. ¡­ The Jin Yun City Square was at least 10 times bigger than Can He City Square. Instead of calling this place a city square, it would perhaps be more appropriate to call it a average sized immortal city. Countless of defensive arrays had been put in place outside of the Jin Yum City Square and even some of these deathtrap arrays were beyond Mo Wuji¡¯s knowledge. Mo Wuji was aware of his own knowledge for arrays and he believed he would at most be equivalent to a Grade 1 immortal array master. However, Mo Wuji was certain that these arrays put in place here were definitely at least Grade 2 and Grade 3, which he would eventually understand more about it if he had time to study about it. The moment the trio entered the Jin Yun City Square, Mo Wuji could feel several spiritual wills landing on him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind because since he knew he had to come, he didn¡¯t come unprepared. If he were to survive this time round, he had to visit the First Cultivator Merchant House eventually. "Let¡¯s find a place to stay for the night before heading out to the auction tomorrow," Mo Wuji just finished his sentence and could feel Han Qingru standing closer to himself. He could even feel her fear from her footsteps. Mo Wuji lifted his head and saw a man in a golden shirt staring at the three of them. Mo Wuji could feel an aura greater than that of a Heavenly Immortal but he could also feel a restraint on his cultivation. "He is Lao Cai," Han Qingru whispered in her trembling voice as she sounded extremely panicky. It was evident that she had not completely free herself from the fear of Lao Cai¡¯s tyrannical abuse. Mo Wuji patted on Han Qingru¡¯s back, "Senior Sister Qingru, we have to avoid such fears in our pursuit of cultivation Dao. Since you dare visit the Ying Bian City with me and disregard death completely, why do you fear a small manager like him? At the very most, we will kill him now." Han Qingru sighed slightly before whispering, "Thank you, Wuji." At this moment, her thoughts became clear and she managed to calm herself down. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t wrong because if she wasn¡¯t afraid of death, why should she be fearful of a small manager? "Junior Sister Qingru, I¡¯ve never expected myself to see you here. After this auction is over, why don¡¯t you follow me to the Ying Bian City?" Traces of killing intent flashed through Lao Cai¡¯s eyes as he chuckled in front of Han Qingru. Presently, Han Qingru was finally no longer fearful of Lao Cai as she said faintly, "It¡¯s okay, I will go over with junior brother." Lao Cai¡¯s eyes fell on Mo Wuji, "Remember not to touch Qingru, otherwise, you will live to regret it," Lao Cai had evidently noticed how Mo Wuji patted Han Qingru on the back earlier on. Mo Wuji sized Lao Cai up calmly and just as he was about to speak, Han Qingru suddenly hugged Mo Wuji¡¯s arm and said, "Junior brother, let¡¯s go." "Alright," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother saying anything because now that the auction hadn¡¯t started, this wasn¡¯t the right time to attack Lao Cai. Seeing Mo Wuji and the two others entering the city square, traces of killing intent flashed by his eyes as he swore to let this ant who dared touch Han Qingru wished that he was dead. As for Han Qingru, he was sick of her already. He would definitely throw her to the Double Cultivator Building for others to have a taste of her after this. What¡¯s the point of keeping a woman who fails to appreciate his kindness? "Senior sister Qingru is truly incredible to keep her cool. Back then when we sneaked into Ying Bian City, Kou Yuan was killed by this fella," After the trio brushed shoulders against Lao Cai, Tong Ye mentioned this. There were similar traces of killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart because he was the one who personally invited Kou Yuan onto the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Kou Yuan was sincere and just because he had already advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Stage, he didn¡¯t think of himself as being on a higher level than the rest. Additionally, after knowing what happened to Lou Chuanhe, he didn¡¯t hesitate as he hurried to try and save him. Based on this act alone, Mo Wuji made his decision to avenge him no matter what. "I believed he recognised you but the only reason why he didn¡¯t act against you should be because he wanted to respect this city square," Mo Wuji said to Tong Ye. Tong Ye replied in a calm tone, "Since I¡¯ve made my decision to come, I have no intention of going back alive. So what if he was a Golden Immortal? Even if I have to fight to my death, I will make him bleed." Mo Wuji responded cooly, "Blood of a mere Lao Cai wouldn¡¯t even be valuable. I¡¯m certain that this fella would attack after the auction ends so hand this fella to me, I will kill him to avenge Kou Yuan. I will go exchange for a few immortal lattice stones, otherwise, we might not have enough immortal crystals for the auction." "Junior brother, there is no need to exchange the immortal lattice stones. Normally, auctions in the Corner of Yong Ying would accept immortal lattice stones too and in fact, it is worth more than the immortal crystals," Han Qingru hurried to stop Mo Wuji. ¡­ In a place further away from Mo Wuji and co. was a well developed woman with a thin waist as she stared shockingly at Mo Wuji and co. entering a building. It was only after a while that she sounded out, "How daring must he be to come here without any disguise?" This woman was the First Cultivator Merchant House¡¯s Zhu Yiyan and even though she predicted that Mo Wuji would arrive at the Jin Yun City Square, she didn¡¯t expect him to come without any disguise. There were two more people standing beside her and one of them was the Manager Wei Gongfeng of the First Cultivator Building. He couldn¡¯t wrap his mind around it too because according to Zhu Yiyan and his logic, as long as Mo Wuji came over with a disguise, they would first find Mo Wuji¡¯s foothold and then find others to deal with him together. Mo Wuji¡¯s arrival without any disguise came as a huge surprise to everyone. "Shall we stick to our original plan?" Wei Gongfeng said in a low voice. Zhu Yiyan furrowed her brows and was deep in thoughts for a while before answering, "This person is definitely very strong but no matter how strong he is, how could he be so daring to enter the Jin Yun City Square without bothering to put on any disguise? Could he really have a dependable backer supporting him?" After pondering for a while, she continued, "No matter who¡¯s his backer, I will make him spit out whatever he took from the First Cultivator Merchant House. Gongfeng, we have to alter our plan slightly. We must find one more Golden Immortal to cooperate with us against Mo Wuji." "I¡¯ve heard that Manager Lao Cai of the He Lian Merchant Union is here too. I¡¯ve also heard that he was in the advanced stage of the Golden Immortal Stage and was even stronger than senior Bi Tai," The other man added. "Alright, we will visit Manager Lao Cai now," Zhu Yiyan made her decision without hesitation. ¡­ "Brother Tong, let me ask you something. Was it Senior Brother Lou Chuanhe¡¯s request to keep the Immortal-Traversing Ship or was it everyone¡¯s idea?" After the trio entered a building, Mo Wuji asked. He kept having this feeling that something was amiss but he just didn¡¯t know what was the thing. Tong Ye shook his head, "It wasn¡¯t Senior Brother Lou¡¯s request but Ku Ya¡¯s suggestion. Back then, Master Pu Zi wanted to keep the Immortal-Traversing Ship for his further research but Ku Ya mentioned about the deep bond between Senior Brother Lou and you. Since this ship belongs to you, everyone agrees that the ship should be temporarily placed with Senior Brother Lou." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank as he still felt that something was amiss. "Did Abacus say where Ku Ya went?" Mo Wuji asked once more. "No, Ku Ya suddenly left and even Abacus had no idea. Furthermore, Abacus sent Ku Ya a few messages but Ku Ya didn¡¯t reply to any of them," Tong Ye didn¡¯t like to overthink but Mo Wuji¡¯s words got him thinking. "Then Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t follow everyone else to the Ying Bian City and didn¡¯t reply to your messages?" Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because if Ku Ya was around, they would definitely not be so reckless. "That¡¯s right." "Then can you tell me if Master Pu Zi wanted to turn the Immortal-Traversing Ship around to look for me when I was stuck with the Yin Fire Centipedes?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone turned solemn. Tong Ye answered, "We did turn back to look for you but it wasn¡¯t Master Pu Zi¡¯s intention to do so. He said that there were a lot of risks involved to turn back and look for you but Senior Brother Lou Chuanhe, Kou Yuan and everyone else decided to make our way back to find you. Afterwards, Master Pu Zi asked us to express our opinions and we all agreed to look for you eventually. Before we found you, we were forced back by endless amount of Gui Water Spiders¡­ Oh yes, just as we were about to cross the Immortal Chasm, Ku Ya¡¯s spiritual will seemed to have found you and while she pleaded to turn the Immortal-Traversing Ship around, Master Pu Zi objected the idea and said that we would be courting death by turning back." Mo Wuji nodded his head and patted on Tong Ye, "I understand now, everyone have some rest. Nobody thought of giving up on me during our time in the Immortal Chasm so I will never give up on anyone. After the auction tomorrow, we will kill our way out." Mo Wuji had his own suspicion but he didn¡¯t say it out to Tong Ye. He was even thinking that it the Immortal-Traversing Ship was with Tong Ye, he might be the first to have met with troubles. Chapter 468: The Cultivator Who Uses Immortal Lattice Stones To Bid Chapter 468: The Cultivator Who Uses Immortal Lattice Stones To Bid Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Jin Yun City Square Auction was held at the biggest merchant house in Jin Yun City Square, Jin Yum Merchant House. When Mo Wuji and co. arrived at the entrance of the merchant house, it was already filled with cultivators. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will scanned the area fearlessly as he could roughly tell that there were at least five Golden Immortals around. Because Mo Wuji used his spiritual will fearlessly, tens of spiritual will landed back on Mo Wuji¡¯s body and there were even traces of stern warnings within majority of the spiritual will. Mo Wuji acted as though he didn¡¯t feel any spiritual will as he continued using his spiritual will to scan the area. Besides this, he even returned peremptory spiritual will to those who sent him the warnings. Mo Wuji never intended to stay low during his trip to the Jin Yun City Square Auction so why would he fear the spiritual will warnings of others? Perhaps because nobody knew about Mo Wuji¡¯s identity which was why regardless of what Mo Wuji was doing with his spiritual will, nobody bothered finding trouble with him. Just because nobody bothered finding trouble with Mo Wuji, he naturally wouldn¡¯t find trouble with others before the auction started. He simply walked into the auction place openly. First Cultivator Merchant House was only a small ordinary merchant house in the Ying Bian City so the auction jade token that Mo Wuji received would only get him a position in the main hall and not a personal box. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind because he didn¡¯t have any intention to conceal himself. Han Qingru and Tong Ye knew about Mo Wuji¡¯s intention but they simply chose to sit beside him quietly. They were clearly aware that after this auction ended, a great battle was bound to occur. If they win, they would be able to go to the Ying Bian City. If they lose, there would be nothing left to say. Because this auction was a joint conduct by several big powers of the Corner of Yong Ying, the number of people attending this auction was incredibly huge and almost every reputable person of Yong Ying was here. Moments after Mo Wuji and co. sat down, the pot-shaped auction place was already fully filled with people. One hour later, restrictions were put in place on the entrance of the auction place after every cultivator with jade tokens had entered. A crystal platform with radius of a few metres started floating up from the centre of the auction place and a pretty, well developed woman was standing on it. Mo Wuji only needed one look at this woman and he could tell that she had already condensed her immortal lattice and should be in the Great Circle of the Heavenly Immortal Stage. After bowing in all four directions, this woman said in a crisp and clear voice, "Corner of Yong Ying¡¯s joint auction is held once every decade and this could be considered the biggest ever auction of the Corner of Yong Ying. The auctioneer of this auction will be Li Yue. On behalf of the the various big city squares of the Corner of Yong Ying, I welcome all experts to this auction and I wish everyone good luck and that you would be able to go home with a treasure of your likings. Let me go through some of the rules of this auction: Firstly, we will not be accepting low grade immortal crystals and one must only use immortal lattice stones, top or intermediate grade immortal crystals to bid. One immortal lattice stone would be worth 10 top grade immortal crystals. Secondly, no one is allowed to interfere with interested bidders making their bids. Otherwise, they will be forced out of the auction place for provocation. If anyone dared to attack, they would be killed on the spot. The auction begins now and the first treasure on auction would be a Grade 3 immortal grade magic skill, Howling Moon Wolf Claw. The starting price is 10,000 intermediate immortal grade crystals and each increment must be no less than 1000¡­" After Li Yue finished talking, a dark yellow jade letter instantly started to float in front of her. The jade letter was surrounded by restrictions such that spiritual will would not be able to seep through it. Mo Wuji sighed coldly in his heart because one immortal lattice stone was equivalent to 10 top grade immortal crystals and with about 40,000,000 immortal lattice stones on him, how many immortal crystals would it be equivalent to? Back then, Mo Wuji was indeed butchered by that fella, Gong Hou. He used 100,000 immortal lattice stones to exchange for only about 3,000,000 low grade immortal crystals which was equivalent to only about 30,000 top grade immortal crystals. Gong Hou that fella was only giving him about one tenth of the actual price. Starting a immortal lattice stones business here would be extremely profitable. Tong Ye couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed, "Brother Mo, this jade letter is too ridiculous." Mo Wuji laughed and replied, "Brother Tong, Senior Sister Qingru, if you see anything that you like, feel free to bid for it. Don¡¯t need to stand on any ceremony or worry about the price, all the cost will be under my name and I¡¯ll pay for everything in one go afterwards." Mo Wuji took out 2,000,000 immortal lattice stones and handed it to Tong Ye which was meant for him to condense his immortal lattice. This was to tell Tong Ye not to use the immortal lattice stones meant for him to condense his immortal lattice to bid for items later. Without Mo Wuji¡¯s reminder, Han Qingru and Tong Ye understood because if they were to compare, Mo Wuji would most likely be the richest fella here. As the three of them were conversing, the Grade 3 Howling Moon Wolf Claw was already purchased by someone for a price of 67,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. "Congratulations to the friend who managed to acquire the Grade 3 magic skill Howling Moon Wolf Claw. The next item would be a Tier 2 immortal fruit, Falling Dust Immortal Fruit. The starting price of this fruit is 100,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals and every increment will be no less than 10,000¡­" If the Howling Moon Wolf Claw was not considered to be popular, the moment Li Yue mentioned the name of this Falling Dust Immortal Fruit, the whole auction place burst into cheers. The Falling Dust Immortal Fruit was indeed not a high tier immortal fruit as it was only in Tier 2. Normally, these Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivators wouldn¡¯t even bother looking at a Tier 2 immortal fruit. However, things were different with the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit because this was an immortal fruit which could help a Heavenly Immortal Stage expert advance to the Golden Immortal Stage. If a Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivator wanted to advance to become a Golden Immortal, he needed the Falling Dust Immortal Pill and the main ingredient for the pill would be the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit. Even if the fruit was not to be concocted into a pill and eaten directly, there were still possibilities for a Heavenly Immortal Stage expert to advance into the next stage. There was a large number of Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivators in the Corner of Yong Yong so the moment this fruit appeared, its price would naturally surged at an insane rate. Of course Mo Wuji knew about the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit because if it wasn¡¯t for the Three-eyed Dove¡¯s trap, and the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit that it threw at him, he was almost unsucessful in trying to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. In a short period of time, the price of the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit had already surged to 300,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. "Brother Mo, I think we should acquire for this immortal fruit because even though we might not be able to concoct it into a pill, we could hire other immortal pill master to help us concoct the Falling Dust Immortal Pill," Tong Ye told Mo Wuji. Even if Tong Ye didn¡¯t tell him this, Mo Wuji had already decided to get this Falling Dust Immortal Fruit. "5,000 immortal lattice stones," Mo Wuji started his bid. The moment Mo Wuji¡¯s bid was out, the entire auction place fell silent. It wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji¡¯s bid was extraordinarily high because the previous bid before him was already close to 400,000. Mo Wuji¡¯s bid of 5000 immortal lattice stones was equivalent to 500,000 intermediate immortal crystals and even though this increment was huge, it wasn¡¯t exactly ridiculous because it was the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit after all. The ridiculous thing about Mo Wuji¡¯s bid was that he made his bid using immortal lattice stones. Even though they had already stated from the beginning that one could use immortal lattice stones to bid, the truth was that not many experts would actually be willing to use their precious immortal lattice stones to bid. It was almost impossible to purchase immortal lattice stones here in a place like the Corner of Yong Ying. Immortal lattice stones was the main way to condense one¡¯s immortal lattice here which was why the immortal lattice stones were so valuable here. If they were in the Immortal World, where there were more methods of condensing one¡¯s immortal lattice, the immortal lattice stones wouldn¡¯t be as valuable. Spiritual will of the masses landed on Mo Wuji as they quickly realised who Mo Wuji was. He was the arrogant Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivator who used his spiritual will to scan the entire place when he first entered. Some people were already starting to look into Mo Wuji¡¯s origins because for a person to use immortal lattice stones to bid, his origins could be very interesting. "5,000 immortal lattice stones calling once, 5,000 immortal lattice stones calling twice, 5,000 immortal lattice stones calling thrice, deal!" Li Yue called out three times in the shortest possible time because it was definitely more favourable for the auction to receive immortal lattice stones as compared to immortal crystals. She would rather have 5,000 immortal lattice stones than 550,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. The transaction was very swift because just as she shouted ¡®deal¡¯, the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit was sent straight to Mo Wuji already. Since Mo Wuji had truckloads of immortal lattice stones, he immediately handed 5,000 immortal lattice stones over. After the deal was completed, Li Yue took out the third item and said, "The next item for auction is a Grade 3 immortal equipment, Impermanence Gemini Ring. The starting price is 50,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals and each increment is no less than 5000 intermediate grade immortal crystals¡­" After reporting this, Li Yue¡¯s eyes were still unable to leave Mo Wuji¡¯s body. However, Mo Wuji had no interest in this Impermanence Gemini Ring and had no intentions to bid for this. Chapter 469: The Bidder With Guts Chapter 469: The Bidder With Guts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After the Impermanence Gemini Ring were the auctions of a few pills, magic treasures and even a Falling Dust Immortal Pill. The competition for the Falling Dust Immortal Pill was even more intense than the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bid for it because he was confident that he would be able to concoct the Falling Dust Immortal Pill and it would only be a matter of time before he succeeded. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bid, the final bid of the Falling Dust Immortal Pill was still slightly higher than the for the fruit Mo Wuji acquired. "The next item for auction would be an extremely valuable ore," At this moment, Li Yue didn¡¯t say the name of the ore but opened up the jade box floating in front of her before taking out a fully transparent stone. An indescribable heat could be felt by everybody around and Mo Wuji almost stood up in excitement. If it was a few years ago, he wouldn¡¯t even know what this was but after reading through Han Qingru¡¯s Grass, Wood, Stone, he was very clear of the value of the item Li Yue was holding. Being able to obtain the Scholar¡¯s Heart was entirely due to Mo Wuji¡¯s luck and coincidence because the truth was that regardless whether in the cultivation world or other places, Heavenly Fire were extremely rare to find, let alone obtain. Previously, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very proficient in forging equipments or materials used to forge equipments so he didn¡¯t have a full understanding of Heavenly Fire. All he knew was that his Scholar¡¯s Heart was a type of Heavenly Fire and that flames were divided into seven grades in the cultivation world. These seven grades were divided accordingly to the colours of the flames which included red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. When he first started concocting pills, he even used a firestone before. Firestone¡¯s grades were also divided based on the colour and the purple firestone was coveted for by everyone on this planet, it was simply a priceless treasure. After Mo Wuji obtained his Heavenly Fire, he had never used the firestone ever since. No cultivator would still harp on using a few firestones to concoct pills after acquiring a Heavenly Fire of their own. Until Mo Wuji left Zhen Xing and arrived at the Half Immortal Domain, he still didn¡¯t know what was the grade of his Scholar¡¯s Heart because no matter whether or not the Scholar¡¯s Heart had advanced, its colour remained as cyan and even the tone of cyan remained the same. Only he knew whether or not his Scholar¡¯s Heart had gotten stronger. In the previous battle against Cang Jue of the Wolf King Mountain, his Scholar¡¯s Heart absorbed Cang Jue¡¯s the flames of his Flaming Futon and it was clear to Mo Wuji that the strength of his flame had increased to another level but the colour remained as faint cyan. This Scholar¡¯s Heart was very similar to his reverse immortal mortal technique because no matter how strong it was or what level it had advanced to, it still looked like ordinary. It was the same for him as the stronger he became, the more ordinary he looked. A few months ago, after he obtained the Grass, Wood, Stone, he knew that after a flame had reached purple in colour, it was basically at the extreme already. If it wished to advance further, it needed to undergo nirvanic evolution. Flames which went though nirvanic evolution were known as immortal flames and the immortal flames were further divided into nine grades. The main and most valuable material of this flame would be the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. Therefore, one could imagine how precious this material would be especially since it could turn a flame into an immortal flame. At this moment, the ore that Li Yue was holding in her hands was a Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. The reason why Mo Wuji was so excited wasn¡¯t only because this ore could turn his Scholar¡¯s Heart into an immortal flame but more importantly, because the moment his flame advanced to a higher level, the powers of his Heavenly Fire Sacred Art would most definitely strengthened by multiple folds. This was equivalent to adding one more layer of protection to his small life. "I believe most people can recognise this and indeed, this is a Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. The Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence is extremely rare and whether or not you have a flame of your own, obtaining this will not put you at a disadvantage. The starting price of this fire essence is 100,000 high grade immortal crystals and each increment must be no less than 5,000 high grade immortal crystals. Let the bidding begins now¡­" Indeed, many people could recognise the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence and the few cultivators who owned a flame became as excited as Mo Wuji. Try imagining who wouldn¡¯t want their flame to become an immortal flame? However, the moment the starting price was announced, many cultivators sat down helplessly. To any cultivator of the Corner of Yong Ying, 100,000 high grade immortal crystals was a massive amount they could only imagine themselves having it. "100,000 high grade immortal crystals," Even though the price was exuberantly high, someone still went on to bid. "110,000 high grade immortal crystals," A new bid was shown. "115,000 high grade immortal crystals¡­" ¡­ All the bids were coming from the auction box which clearly showed that these cultivators were all of very high status. These cultivators had to be big powers in the Corner of Yong Ying because the smaller powers here would definitely be unable to reserve a box for themselves. In a short period of time, the price of the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence rose to 170,000 high grade immortal crystals. At this moment, the number of bidders decreased but there were still two to three boxes competing. "50,000 immortal lattice stones," Mo Wuji started his bid and started it with immortal lattice stones. Indeed, Mo Wuji managed to stun the crowd the very moment his bid appeared. Just moments ago, the price hadn¡¯t even reached 200,000 high grade immortal crystals and Mo Wuji¡¯s first bid was actually 50,000 immortal lattice stones which was equivalent to 500,000 immortal crystals. This was what true fortune looked like. Han Qingru glanced over at Mo Wuji because she was one who knew how wealthy Mo Wuji truly was. She even recalled how she used over 600,000 immortal lattice stones to condense her immortal lattice and she wondered just how many high grade immortal crystals she could exchange with this amount. If it was not for Mo Wuji¡¯s generosity with his immortal lattice stones, she would never be able to condense her immortal lattice in such extravagant manner. "550,000 high grade immortal crystals," Just when even Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect anyone to increase the bid, this announcement sounded. Only after this voice was heard, the massive display screen showed the bid of 550,000 immortal crystals. Normally when one bids, there was no need to announce to everyone because all one had to do was to write one¡¯s price and then the display screen would show your bid as well as your seat number or box number. Now that someone even announced his bid, and then displayed his bid on the screen for everyone to see, he was clearly expressing his unhappiness with Mo Wuji for competing for the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence with him. Everyone recognised this voice of a Golden Immortal expert and usually for a Golden Immortal to appear in a place like this, there must be some regulation talisman and he must have came from the Immortal World. As long as one was a cultivator of the Corner of Yong Ying, one would definitely not offend a person like him. After all, nobody would stay long in the Corner of Yong Ying because everyone here would eventually go to the Immortal World. If one were to offend people even before entering the Immortal World, one would certainly not have a future there. "80,000 immortal lattice stones," Mo Wuji would never fear the opposition because this concerned his small life which was why he really needed this Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. "Stop!" A cold voice was heard from one of the box and tremendous killing intent was instantly felt throughout the auction place. The auction place fell silent and everyone was basically observing a moment of silent grief for Mo Wuji. Where on earth this fella came from? Could he be from the Immortal World too? They never knew that the Immortal World had this much immortal lattice stones. Even if Mo Wuji stopped competing now, he had already offended someone. Even though Li Yue mentioned about not interrupting the auction, Li Yue appeared as though she had not heard anything as this Golden Immortal was clearly threatening Mo Wuji. It was evident that even she didn¡¯t want to offend this Golden Immortal expert. "810,000 high grade immortal crystals, let¡¯s see who still dare to increase his bid," After the Golden Immortal expert in the box made his bid, the killing intent from his voice was directed straight at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart as he raised his bid to 100,000 immortal lattice stones without any shreds of hesitation. If he was afraid of threatens, he wouldn¡¯t have participate in this auction. "Alright, you have guts, real guts¡­" The cultivator was so angry even his words were not consistent. After saying this repeatedly, he didn¡¯t continue to increase his bid. He really did have guts and even the First Cultivator Merchant House¡¯s Zhu Yiyan and Wei Gongfeng stared at each other in disbeief. They knew that whether or not Mo Wuji was a rash person, their plan was smashed. Because Mo Wuji was already locked onto by this Golden Immortal expert and this expert would most probably be from a powerhouse in the Immortal World, so under normal circumstances, no one else would compete with them. Mo Wuji was doomed and the Golden Immortal would definitely not care about how the First Cultivator Merchant House was related to Mo Wuji. Chapter 470: Half Moon Halberd Blade Chapter 470: Half Moon Halberd Blade Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "100,000 immortal lattice stones going once, 100,000 immortal lattice stones going twice¡­" As Li Yue reported this, she was feeling worried for Mo Wuji. Even though she hoped for the auction to obtain more immortal lattice stones, she did not wish for Mo Wuji to die without a reason. If 5,000 immortal lattice crystals were enough to make a person jealous, 100,000 immortal crystals was completely able to make a person your enemy. As a Heavenly Immortal, he actually dared to use immortal crystals to bid in such an unbridled manner. She really didn¡¯t know whether his balls were unreasonably big, or he actually had some backer behind him. Regardless, she felt that Mo Wuji shouldn¡¯t have gone to offend those Golden Immortal experts that were in the box. "100,000 immortal lattice stones going thrice. Congratulations our dear friend, No. 1233. You have won the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence." With no one else competing with Mo Wuji, the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence landed in front of Mo Wuji without question. The auction for the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence had ended. By this time, everyone at the venue, Mo Wuji included, knew that the struggle for the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence was just the beginning. The moment he received the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence, Mo Wuji sent it straight into his storage ring. If he wasn¡¯t in this auction venue, he wouldn¡¯t have waited, but would have immediately evolved his own fire with this Nirvana fire. Seemingly trying to draw the attention away from Mo Wuji, Li Yue actually didn¡¯t congratulate Mo Wuji for winning the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. She waved her hand, and an ancient pill furnace floated in front of her. "This is an ancient furnace which dates back to countless of ages ago. According to its aged aura, this pill furnace is at least hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even though it has experienced the vicissitudes of time, the grade of this pill furnace remains no lower than a Grade 3 immortal equipment. The only pity is, a part of the seals within the pill furnace had been damaged, and it can¡¯t be refined fully. Otherwise, this pill furnace might even reach Grade 5 or Grade 6¡­" "This pill furnace¡¯s starting price is 300,000 intermediate immortal crystals; each increment must be no less than 10,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals¡­" "3,000 immortal lattice stones." The moment Li Yue¡¯s words descended, Mo Wuji started bidding. Mo Wuji was exactly lacking a pill furnace; all his pill furnaces were from the cultivator world. Previously, Wen Lianxi had given him a Grade 1 immortal pill furnace, but she still took it away. Even though the damage with the restrictions would cause the pill furnace to be unable to be fully refined, it would not be of a huge influence to him. Some cultivators wanted to bid, but after seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s bid, they stopped. Everyone knew that No. 1233 was a rash dolt, and a rich one at that. As long as they were not retarded, they wouldn¡¯t compete with this rash dolt. Originally, this Grade 3 immortal pill furnace would have definitely reached the price of 500,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. But because Mo Wuji was the first to bid, no one else actually went to bid for it. Eventually, this pill furnace was purchased by Mo Wuji at the starting price. Li Yue, who originally felt sympathy for Mo Wuji, was instantly left speechless. If this fella was the first to bid every time, then wouldn¡¯t the others not be able to compete? Fortunately, her worries were not confirmed. After this pill furnace, Mo Wuji stopped; he didn¡¯t place a bid for the following ten items. On the other hand, both Han Qingru and Tong Ye, who were by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, purchased one item each; Han Qingru purchased a wood-type skill while Tong Ye purchased an astrolabe. [1] "Next, we¡¯ll auction the highest grade immortal equipment we have in this auction, the Half Moon Halberd. According to our immortal equipment¡¯s expert verification, this should be a Grade 9 immortal equipment¡­" Li Yue¡¯s second sentence instantly sent the crowd into a flurry of discussion. A Grade 9 immortal equipment; even in the Immortal World, it would be a peak existence. Why would it appear in the Corner of Yong Ying? Li Yue gestured to quell the noise within the crowd, then she smiled and said, "Everyone, please don¡¯t let your mind wander. The reason why this Half Moon Halberd would appear in a place like this, could be attributed to two reasons. Firstly, this halberd is a mere fragment; it is only left with half a moon, and it¡¯s also missing its halberd body and hilt¡­" When they heard this, the crowd came to an understanding. This meant that this Grade 9 immortal equipment was not even a quarter of its glorious self. Since that¡¯s the case, this halberd was indeed nothing more than a defective item. It couldn¡¯t even be compared to that pill furnace which was missing a portion of its restrictions. "Secondly, this halberd came from the Immortal Chasm. Due to a situation in the Half Immortal Domain, most of the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain tried to cross the Immortal Chasm. Even though most of them perished within the Immortal Chasm, there were some lucky few that were able to cross the final barrier. But when they met with the spatial blade array, they left behind the fragments of such peak grade treasures. This was how we obtained this fragment of the Half Moon Halberd¡­" When Li Yue said this, a trace of killing intent flashed across Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. The people from the Corner of Yong Ying were too arrogant and tyrannical. Not only did they stop the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain from coming over, they also installed a grand spatial blade array after the final barrier. If not for his vitality channel, even he would have perished under that array. If he managed to have the ability, he would definitely open the transfer array from the Corner of Yong Ying to Half Immortal Domain, allowing anyone from Half Immortal Domain the opportunity to enter the Immortal World. "Now everyone, take a look at this halberd¡¯s Half Moon!" With a wave of her hand, a ripple appeared in the space in front of Li Yue; a Half Moon Halberd Blade that was nearly a meter long appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. The halberd blade was green; even though it had experienced countless years of wearing and fragmentation, it was still shrouded by a sharp baleful aura. An ancient aura seeped into Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. Mo Wuji suddenly closed his eyes, he seemed to hear the beckoning of the Half Moon Halberd Blade. This Half Moon Halberd Blade actually gave him a sense of intimacy and fervour; Mo Wuji was especially familiar with that aura, it was the same aura he felt when he just opened his Undying World. However, as compared to his Undying World, this Half Moon Halberd Blade¡¯s aura was more ancient and vast. This definitely wasn¡¯t a simple fragment of a Grade 9 immortal equipment; it was definitely a greater treasure. This halberd blade, he must have it. Mo Wuji opened his eyes and stared at the halberd blade with desire. Originally, he wanted to purchase a spear or a saber. Only such sharp treasures would be able to fully display his killing intent. But the moment this halberd¡¯s Half Moon Halberd Blade appeared, Mo Wuji was bent on getting it. There was no reason, just intuition. "The starting price of the Half Moon Halberd Blade is 500,000 high grade immortal crystals. Each increment must be no less than 10,000 high grade immortal crystals. Let the bidding begin." The moment Li Yue finished, she lifted her hand and formed a seal, sending this meter long halberd blade into a jade box and sealing it within. "600,000 high grade immortal crystals." At the same instant Li Yue kept the blade, someone started bidding. Everyone knew who this bidder was; it was the Golden Immortal that fought with Mo Wuji for the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. This Golden Immortal had lost in the bidding battle for the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence, and now, he had set his eyes on this green Half Moon Halberd Blade. "650,000 high grade immortal crystals." A second bid came. Clearly, not everyone was scared by that Golden Immortal. Seeing that it wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji, this Golden Immortal didn¡¯t convulse in anger, but simply raised the bid to 800,000 high grade immortal crystals. Everyone knew that this Golden Immortal wasn¡¯t of simple origins, and when he raised the bid to 800,000 high grade immortal crystals, many people in the box gave up. The second bidder also knew that if he raised the bid, he would offend the other party, so he stopped bidding as well. "800,000 high grade crystals going once. Are there any higher bid? 800,000 high grade immortal crystals going twice¡­" "100,000 immortal lattice crystals." Mo Wuji¡¯s bid interrupted Li Yue¡¯s words. Once again, the auction venue was sent into a wave of activity. It wasn¡¯t because of this Half Moon Halberd Blade, but because the rash kid with immortal lattice crystals was starting another bidding battle with that Golden Immortal." "Haha, you have guts. 2,000,000 immortal crystals." That Golden Immortal chuckled, but his laughter was not filled with joy, but killing intent. Even though he knew that this kid would definitely die and the item would end up in his hands, he did not want to lose another bidding battle in front of the crowd, especially to a Heavenly Immortal ant that had yet to even condense an immortal lattice. [1] What does an astrolabe look like? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrolabe Click < to find out! It¡¯s some compass that¡¯s used to navigate with the stars. Chapter 471: The Explosive Flame Chapter 471: The Explosive Flame Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "210,000 immortal lattice stones." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to raise the bid. "Good, good, good¡­" The Golden Immortal in the box repeated the same word three times, then he went silent. However, even an idiot would be able to feel the explosive and oppressive killing intent in his voice. One could clearly imagine the deep hatred this Golden Immortal had towards Mo Wuji. If not for the auction rules, he would have probably killed Mo Wuji on the spot. In a place like the Corner of Yong Ying, 2,000,000 high grade immortal crystals was definitely an astronomical price. Even the Golden Immortal wasn¡¯t able to raise the bid, so naturally no one else was able to. Without surprise, Mo Wuji had obtained this fragmented Half Moon Halberd Blade. After paying the immortal lattice stones, Mo Wuji stood up promptly. Everyone guessed that Mo Wuji should be leaving immediately. Many cultivators also prepared to get up; Mo Wuji had purchased several treasures, and he even had so many immortal lattice stones. If they could even obtain a fraction of his fortune, they would definitely strike it rich. Li Yue glanced at Mo Wuji and sighed in her heart. Then, she continued, "Next, we¡¯re auctioning a Grade 4 immortal equipement, the Fantasy Gong. This immortal equipment is different from the others; this is a complete immortal equipment. In battle, it can create scenes of fantasy, allowing you to control your opponent. The starting price is 700,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals; each increment must be no less than 10,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals¡­" "750,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals." The moment this Grade 4 Fantasy Gong appeared, there was immediately a bidder. Some of the cultivators that were prepared to follow Mo Wuji also turned back. "3,000 immortal lattice stones, and that pill furnace I just bought, and another 180,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals." Mo Wuji, who was prepared to leave, stopped and suddenly bidded. Seeing Mo Wuji stop to bid, everyone knew that Mo Wuji was going to offend another person. Anyone that could offer a price close to 100,000 high grade immortal crystals naturally wasn¡¯t a simple person. Li Yue said speechlessly, "This dao friend, we only accept immortal lattice stones or immortal crystals in the auction. The pill furnace could not be considered as either of those." With an ¡®Ah¡­", Mo Wuji looked unwillingly towards the pill furnace that was floating on the auction stage. There seemed to be traces of disappointment in his eyes. "850,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals." Even though Li Yue said that the pill furnace couldn¡¯t be accepted as a bid, that cultivator that previously bidded still chose to raise his bid. However, through that bid, Mo Wuji had lost his image as a rich but rash idiot. Even an obtuse person could tell that Mo Wuji no longer had any immortal crystals on him. If Mo Wuji still had immortal lattice stones, with his rash personality, he definitely wouldn¡¯t hesitate to bid 10,000 immortal lattice stones. If this fella was willing to slap the face of a Golden Immortal, he would have done the same for other cultivators. As expected, after Li Yue¡¯s words, Mo Wuji finally turned and left with a look of helplessness. This time, many of the cultivators that wanted to follow Mo Wuji stopped in their tracks. After Mo Wuji left, that Golden Immortal would definitely chase after him. They originally wanted to follow Mo Wuji to get some immortal lattice stones out of it, but according to Mo Wuji¡¯s final bid, it looked like Mo Wuji only had 3,000 immortal lattice stones left on him. Even though 3,000 immortal lattice stones was no small amount, it was not enough to arouse their covetion. Moreover, since Mo Wuji was able to bring out so many immortal lattice stones, he must have some backer behind him. As for Mo Wuji¡¯s final act of using the furnace to exchange for the Fantasy Gong, except for a minute few, everyone didn¡¯t suspect anything. That rash idiot was clearly filled with desire for that Fantasy Gong. If he had enough immortal lattice stones, he would have definitely not given up on that Fantasy Gong. Now that he had given up on his bid helplessly, it should be because he didn¡¯t have enough immortal lattice crystals. ¡­ "Junior Brother Mo, we¡¯re going to leave immediately?" Han Qingru asked the moment they left the auction venue. Her understanding of Mo Wuji far exceeded anyone of the cultivators in the auction venue; she was very clear that Mo Wuji wasn''t some rash dolt, nor some ignorant fool. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to help her escape from Hundred Flowers Manor when he was simply an Earthly Immortal. The reason why he was so crazy back in the auction venue was because he wanted to raise his personal power. As for his final performance, it was definitely to reduce the cultivators targeting him. In reality, she felt that Mo Wuji''s actions were not bad. As for the items that Mo Wuji wanted, even if he acted politely, he would still offend that Golden Immortal. Since he was going to offend the Golden Immortal either way, Mo Wuji chose to do so as an arrogant, rash dolt. By doing so, it would cause people to be uncertain of Mo Wuji''s background. Moreover, before Mo Wuji left, he did not act as though he had purchased everything he needed, but he acted like he had ran out of immortal lattice stones. "No, if we go now, we will be fighting a messy battle. We''ll first go to the rest house," Mo Wuji said with certainty. He had purchased these treasures, naturally, he had to refine them for himself to increase his powers before leaving. Otherwise, he might as well give them away. Mo Wuji believed that even if that Golden Immortal wanted to kill him, he wouldn''t do it immediately. That fella would at least try to investigate on his background. If that''s the case, then at least two days would pass. In these two days, he should at least be able to evolve his heavenly fire with the Nirvana Fire Essence. In reality, Mo Wuji''s guess was rather accurate. After seeing Mo Wuji enter the rest house, that Golden Immortal merely snorted, then sent out a flying messenger sword. Within the next few instants, there were many more Heavenly Immortals came and surrounded the rest house that Mo Wuji was in. Regardless of whether Mo Wuji came out of the rest house, in that Golden Immortal''s eyes, Mo Wuji was already a dish waiting to be eaten. However, Mo Wuji didn''t mind; he only needed one day. He didn''t intend to use this rest house as means to hide from his pursuers; he also knew that this rest house wouldn''t be a safe abode for long. If that Golden Immortal didn''t have methods to cause trouble within this rest house, then he wouldn''t have dared threaten others during the auction. After entering the rest house, Mo Wuji instructed Tong Ye and Han Qingru to stay within the rest house. On the other hand, he would enter closed doors. After forming restrictions on his room door, he continued to install a spirit concealing restriction and several trap arrays. Only then, did Mo Wuji bring out his Scholar''s Heart. The Scholar''s Heart was now a thumb sized flame resting within Mo Wuji''s palm. Mo Wuji extended his other hand, and the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence appeared in the other palm. The moment the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence appeared, the Scholar¡¯s Heart flames suddenly went ¡®bang!¡¯ and extended close to 3 meters. Even Mo Wuji could feel the searing heat emanated by the flames. Before Mo Wuji could even send the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence into the flame, that flame swept outwards and directly swept the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence away. At the very next moment, it was as though kerosene had been poured into the flame, as the flame started to burn in a more furious manner. Even the Scholar¡¯s Heart was Mo Wuji¡¯s fire, that terrifying heat from it left Mo Wuji¡¯s heart shaking in apprehension. He suspected that if this flame deviated slightly, he would lose his life. The Scholar¡¯s Heart flew out of Mo Wuji¡¯s palm, continuously springing and circling within the air. Its colour was also changing continuously, it looked as though countless of kaleidoscopes were being burnt as lights of different colours continued to flash indeterminately. "Crack! Ka! Crack!" The trap arrays that Mo Wuji installed was not of a low grade, but under the constant roiling of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, the arrays still broke down continuously. The only thing Mo Wuji could do, was to continue installing more trap arrays. At the same time, he had to conceal the terrifying aura from the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Fortunately, the Scholar¡¯s Heart didn¡¯t have any intentions to burn Mo Wuji. Otherwise, even iif Mo Wuji¡¯s power was multiplied by several folds, he would still have been burnt alive. Tong Ye and Han Qingru, who were waiting outside Mo Wuji¡¯s room, glanced at one another. They could feel some sort of ruthless energy trying to burst out of the room, and this energy was being held back by Mo Wuji through various means. Even though they didn¡¯t know what energy it was, they could tell that if this energy were to burst out, this rest house would immediately be turned to ash. Chapter 472: Encircling The City Square Chapter 472: Encircling The City Square Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just when Mo Wuji was no longer able to control the arrays within the room, that explosive flame suddenly calmed down. It turned back into a thumb sized fire, and landed back in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. At the very first moment, Mo Wuji could feel that the temperature of the Scholar¡¯s Heart had increased by multiple folds. However, he also had another feeling: the Scholar¡¯s Heart had not successfully been evolved into an immortal flame. The reason why it stopped was because one Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence wasn¡¯t enough to allow the Scholar¡¯s Heart to fully evolve. Mo Wuji was slightly disappointed, but he was also rejoicing slightly. Even though it had not been a complete evolution, he was almost unable to hold back the flames. If it had been a complete evolution of his Scholar¡¯s Heart, this rest house would have definitely been razed to the ground. Thereafter, Mo Wuji no longer worried about the matter of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, and took out his green halberd blade. The 2 feet long halberd blade exuded a terrifying baleful intent; its ancient aura seemed to contain a trace of unwillingness and desire. Mo Wuji knew that this Half Moon Halberd Blade wasn¡¯t simple, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have a similar aura as his Undying World. His Undying World could not even be considered a pocket dimension, but it had an indescribably depth that no other pocket dimension could compare with; the Undying World had not been created by man, but it had been born out of his insights into the dao. In other words, in his perspective, it contained a similar aura as to when Pangu splitted the heaven and earth apart. Now that the Half Moon Halberd Blade contained a similar aura, didn¡¯t that mean that it was really amazing? Mo Wuji knew that refining this halberd blade was no simple affair. He directly spat a drop of vital blood onto the halberd blade; this was the fastest and most suitable method he could use to refine this halberd blade. Two days passed in a flash. Mo Wuji merely refined one of the restrictions within the halberd blade but he already felt an ancient and mighty power. With a thought, the blade light that was almost 3 meters long formed and ripped his trap array apart. "Boom!" An explosive elemental energy exploded outside his trap array. Immediately after, Mo Wuji saw Han Qingru flying towards him, coughing a mouthful of fresh blood. Mo Wuji took a step forward and supported Han Qingru; he could feel that Han Qingru had suffered heavy internal injuries. A bloodied Tong Ye saw that Mo Wuji and immediately flew to Mo Wuji¡¯s side. "Brother Mo, they have come. This rest house has already been torn apart," Tong Ye coughed a mouthful of blood and explained. Only then did Mo Wuji realise that only his room had remained in this rest house. If not for Han Qingru and Tong Ye defending him, he wouldn¡¯t even have been able to refine the first layer of restrictions of the green halberd. "Crash!" Just when Tong Ye finished that sentence, the floor beneath Mo Wuji¡¯s feet started to collapse. The three of them immediately sprang up. When the three of them landed on the ground, they were already surrounded by over ten cultivators. There were two Golden Immortals leading the cultivators and Mo Wuji recognised both them. One was the Golden Immortal from the auction, while the other was He Lian Merchant House¡¯s Manager Lao Cai. "These people actually dared to make a move in the city square. We are completely surrounded by trap arrays," Tong Ye said hatefully. Mo Wuji retrieved some healing pills and handed them to Han Qingru and Tong Ye, then he said calmly, "Being able to endure for two days, these fellas are actually quite patient." Mo Wuji was sure that the Golden Immortal worked together with Lao Cai, he managed to guess Mo Wuji¡¯s origins, which was why he would suddenly attack. That Golden Immortal stared at the halberd blade in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, it was emitting faint green light. He said coldly, "It¡¯s not as if you don¡¯t know that you can¡¯t hide in this rest house forever. Do you know why I only decided to kill you now?" Mo Wuji completely ignored this Golden Immortal, and turned to look at the Half Moon Halberd Blade. This fragmented halberd blade was extremely strong, to Mo Wuji, it was more suitable than the Tian Ji Pole. The only pity was, this halberd blade didn¡¯t have a hilt. Without a hilt, its level would fall greatly, and it would also be uncomfortable to use. "Even though you will soon come to kneel in front of me and give me those items, I will still let you understand what is regret. Remember, I¡¯m from Immortal World¡¯s Seven Smoke Sect, my name is He Junhu. Move, I only need this bold fella to stay alive." After finishing his words, this Golden Immortal didn¡¯t move personally, but instructed his subordinates. The ten over Heavenly Immortals surrounding Mo Wuji took out their magic treasures, and they all pounced towards Mo Wuji and co. Tong Ye and Han Qingru also took out their magic treasures. Around the three of them, layer after layer of immortal elemental energy barriers were formed. However, these barriers were like paper, they weren¡¯t able to hold for more than a few seconds before crumbling. Mo Wuji did not immediately attack, but brought out his Tian Ji Pole. He formed ten different hand seals, and soon, the Half Moon Halberd Blade had been connected to his Tian Ji Pole. For now, the Tian Ji Pole would be used as the hilt of this halberd blade. "Crack!" Tong Ye and Han Qingru¡¯s energy barrier directly crumbled. At the same time, Mo Wuji lifted his hand and formed waves of lightning sword rain. Blue lightning covered the sky; lightning swords descended down like rain. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Under such rapid and dense descent of lightning swords, even the Heavenly Immortals that had condensed their immortal lattice had to put in all their efforts just to defend themselves. Those weaker ones without their immortal lattice were directly killed. When the immortals spectating this battle saw Mo Wuji¡¯s power, their faces changed. Clearly, Mo Wuji had yet to condense his immortal lattice, nor did he create his own Heavenly Immortal Domain. If Mo Wuji had his own domain, this onslaught of lightning swords would easily kill half of the Heavenly Immortals surrounding him. Even Han Qingru was stunned by the ferocity of Mo Wuji¡¯s attacks; she knew that Mo Wuji could form a thick lightning sword, but she could never imagine that Mo Wuji could form countless of them. With such a skill, he wouldn¡¯t have to fear being surrounded. As long as his opponents didn¡¯t have significantly higher cultivation, Mo Wuji would easily sweep through. At this moment, Han Qingru realised why Mo Wuji would fearlessly come to this auction. With such a skill, the only real threats to Mo Wuji were the two Golden Immortals. To be honest, when she followed Mo Wuji to this auction, she had already prepared herself for death. But now that she had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s power, they might not necessarily die. In fact, it was more likely that they would survive. If they could survive, why would they willingly send themselves to die? As they thought of this, Han Qingru and Tong Ye struck out with greater fervour. Mo Wuji was now in control of the battle. With Han Qingru and Tong Ye attacking as well, the death count of the Heavenly Immortals surrounding them increased. He Junhu¡¯s face changed drastically. The moment Mo Wuji brought out the lightning swords, he knew that something was wrong. How could a rogue cultivator have such a strong lightning skill? In the Immortal World, there was there was a sect called the Lightning Sect; everyone in that sect was a lightning-type genius. If Mo Wuji was from the Lightning Sect, there was no need to talk about him, even his entire Seven Smoke Sect was nothing but trash. The Lightning Sect was considered a top sect within the Immortal World; the Seven Smoke Sect wasn¡¯t even on the same level. However, He Junhu soon came to a realisation: Mo Wuji definitely couldn¡¯t have come from the Lightning Sect. If the Lightning Sect had a genius like Mo Wuji, even if this was merely the Corner of Yong Ying, Mo Wuji would have a Xuan Immortal protector, instead of two simple Heavenly Immortals. Moreover, Lao Cai wouldn¡¯t lie to him about such matters. From the looks of it, Mo Wuji was a lightning-type genius from Half Immortal Domain. "Various dao friends, as long as you participate in this battle, I, He Junhe, promise on behalf of the Seven Smoke Sect to help ten of you condense your immortal lattice. If you have already condensed your immortal lattice, I am willing to offer you 10,000 high grade immortal crystals. Moreover, if you manage to kill this person, one-third of his items will be yours, and you would be able to join my Seven Smoke Sect. Moreover, I guess that there¡¯s at least a million immortal lattice stones on this person. I believe everyone should understand the reason why¡­" Even though He Junhu didn¡¯t fear Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji¡¯s violent lightning sword rain had left his heart unsettled. After he announced those words loudly, he rushed into the battle and directly pounced towards Mo Wuji. Chapter 473: Disadvantaged Chapter 473: Disadvantaged Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations If He Junhu didn¡¯t rush into the battle himself, even if his conditions were better, probably no one would have helped. But now that a Golden Immortal like him had entered the fray, no matter how strong Mo Wuji was, death was the unquestionable outcome. His conditions were merely adding decorations to something already perfect, and they were so generous; who wouldn¡¯t be willing to accept it? In just an instant, many of the cultivators, that were merely spectating, now surged forward with ferocity. Mo Wuji¡¯s final performance was now completely useless. When He Junhu said that Mo Wuji had a million immortal lattice stones, many of the cultivators believed him. As they thought about it, Mo Wuji using the pill furnace as a bid could have been a cover up. Mo Wuji had never seen the power of a Golden Immortal. Now that the Golden Immortal He Junhu had charged straight at him, how could he still hold back? All 108 meridians surged furiously, sending out immortal elemental energy like waves, which then transformed into concentrated lightning rain. At the same time, he swung out with his newly formed Half Moon Halberd. Additionally, his spiritual will had been focused on Lao Cai; after all, He Junhu wasn¡¯t the only Golden Immortal trying to deal with him. He was a Heavenly Immortal. Not only did he have to fight many cultivators at the same stage, he had to fight with He Junhu, and he even had to pay attention to Lao Cai; he was under immense pressure. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Heavy streams of lightning swords descended down with fury. Those Heavenly immortals that charged into the battle were instantly trapped within this violent lightning sword rain. A 10 feet long green Half Moon Halberd Light formed within the boundless lightning rain. This green light sped towards He Junhu. "Bang!" He Junhu¡¯s Golden Immortal protective barrier was directly ripped apart. He forcefully retracted the square stamp that he was prepared to smash towards Mo Wuji, and used it to defend against that powerful green halberd light. "Crack!" The halberd light was clearly intangible, but when it struck against He Junhu¡¯s square stamp, it actually had a cracking sound, and it splashed out in all directions. A few streams of broken halberd light grazed across He Junhu¡¯s body, causing He Junhu to feel extreme discomfort. Moreover, these broken halberd lights actually tore a gap within his Golden Immortal Domain before he managed to fully restrain Mo Wuji. He Junhu¡¯s heart reverberated in shock. He had never expected that Mo Wuji¡¯s single halberd slash would be filled with such threatening power. Thereafter, his heart heated up with fervour. Even though Mo Wuji was impressive, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have been able to force him back to such a state. He could only imagine that the real thing that was impressive wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji, but the Half Moon Halberd. When Mo Wuji tore a gap in He Junhu¡¯s Golden Immortal Domain, his heart went resolute. He was worried that he would be completely defenseless against a Golden Immortal, but seeing that he was still able to resist, then he would have nothing to fear. Before He Junhu could recondense his Golden Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji slashed out with his Half Moon Halberd. This time, there wasn¡¯t one halberd light, but ten halberd lights which raced towards He Junhu. Even though Mo Wuji had 108 meridians, he actually felt an intense feeling of emptiness after using that attack. It felt as though these ten halberd lights had sucked out his flesh and soul, leaving him incomparably fatigued. "Chi!" The sound of space being ripped through resounded through the air. Even though Mo Wuji had nearly depleted his immortal elemental energy, the immortal elemental energy within his elemental storage channel continued to form seals, forming lightning swords which continued to pour down like rain. "Crack crack!" He Junhu had just recondensed his Golden Immortal Domain, but those halberd light tore it apart again. A sense of impending doom surged over as astonishment filled his heart. Even though He Junhu knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s green halberd was impressive, he never expected for it to even be able to threaten his life. If he was in the Immortal World, he definitely wouldn¡¯t fear Mo Wuji. However, at a place like this, he only had 70% of his full power. This was because he was being restrained by the regulation talisman. If he were to burst out with his full power, he might actually destroy the regulation talisman. If that happened, he would immediately be forced down by the laws of the Heaven and Earth. Against these laws, there¡¯s no need to talk about a mere He Junhu, even an Immortal King would die without doubt. However, facing Mo Wuji¡¯s sharp and boundless Half Moon Halberd Light, how could he still hesitate about such matters? He Junhu gritted his teeth, furiously sending his immortal elemental energy into his stamp. The square stamp instantly expanded till it was a 30 meter wide mountain, smashing towards Mo Wuji¡¯s ten Half Moon Halberd Light. "Boom! Crack! Crack!" When that violent Half Moon Halberd Light smashed against the huge stamp, it exploded into tiny streams and filled the air. Together with the lightning sword rain, the halberd light went rampant in all directions. Some of Heavenly Immortals who hadn¡¯t entered the battle subconsciously retreated. This power was too terrifying. A wave of immortal elemental energy, which seemed to engulf everything in its way, surged towards Mo Wuji. That huge mountain-like stamp slammed against Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole; it was like an actual mountain had slammed against Mo Wuji¡¯s chest, shattering his sternum. He immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backwards. Fortunately, Han Qingru had promptly rushed over and caught Mo Wuji. Otherwise, Mo Wuji would be sent flying into a crowd of enemies. Even if he was any stronger, he would definitely meet his end. "Pu!" Mo Wuji coughed out another mouthful of fresh blood. He immediately grabbed some healing pills and swallowed them. His heart was filled with astonishment; a Golden Immortal was indeed strong. From afar, Lao Cai had yet to take action. After seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s first Half Moon Halberd Light, he didn¡¯t attack, but took one step back. This time, Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd light had been shattered by He Junhu¡¯s giant stamp, and Mo Wuji had even been injured. Against expectations, Lao Cai took even more steps backwards. The messy battle actually went silent. It was like a half time break; there was a sort of peculiar tranquility. The lightning sword rain and the Half Moon Halberd Light dispersed. Tens of Heavenly Immortal cultivators had been sliced in half by the lightning sword, and the ground was stacked with many incomplete corpses. From the charred blackness of the corpses, one could see that many of them had been killed by the lightning swords. There were even some that were killed by the Half Moon Halberd Light. "Junior brother, you¡­" Han Qingru was incomparably anxious; she knew that the might lose her life today. "He¡¯s heavily injured, kill!" Some of the Heavenly Immortals immediately reacted, they charged towards Mo Wuji like a shark towards blood. The moment they thought about Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal lattice stones and treasures, how could they retain their sense of reasons? Countless magic treasures shone with brilliant light as almost everyone charged towards Mo Wuji. "I¡¯m okay¡­" Mo Wuji stood up. The Half Moon Halberd in his hand slashed out once more, forming a green halberd light which formed an immortal elemental energy barrier around the three of them. Han Qingru and Tong Ye reacted. They also used their magic treasures and built layers of barriers around themselves. Everyone knew that these defenses would not last for more than 10 breaths of time. With more than hundred Heavenly Immortals attacking them simultaneously, and moreover, none of them had any sort of supreme defensive treasure, it would be stupid to think that they could stay behind these defenses for long. Seeing the three of them disadvantaged, more Heavenly Immortal cultivators joined in. Mo Wuji had never thought of going into defense. If not for the fact that he had went all out against He Junhu, he really wouldn¡¯t need to fear even if there were more of these Heavenly Immortal cultivators. But now, as he saw the large numbers of Heavenly Immortals encircling him, he felt a tinge of dismal in his heart. He had overestimated his own abilities. He did still have some trump cards, but what could he do after he killed He Junhu? Wasn¡¯t there still Lao Cai and all these Heavenly Immortal cultivators? Moreover, there were even some Golden Immortals observing from afar. Soon, Mo Wuji found that something was amiss; he noticed that He Junhu didn¡¯t continue to attack him. He Junhu would only have suffered some light injuries from their previous exchanges. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that He Junhu wouldn¡¯t take this opportunity to attack him. The only possibility was: there was something wrong with He Junhu. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care any further. He took several steps up into the air, lifting his hands to form boundless lightning rain. Even though there were many Heavenly Immortal cultivators, Mo Wuji still kept half of his attention of Lao Cai and He Junhu. Soon, he found that his guess was not wrong. He Junhu¡¯s face turned unsightly, but he didn¡¯t go on to attack Mo Wuji. One must know that if He Junhu were to attack him now, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have anything to do besides flee. In reality, Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn¡¯t even be able to flee, unless he was willing to abandon Han Qingru and Tong Ye. However, abandoning Han Qingru and Tong Ye was not his character. Chapter 474: An Unkillable Person Chapter 474: An Unkillable Person Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After verifying that He Junhu was unable to do anything to him, Mo Wuji was even more unbridled. Even though he had used up most of his immortal elemental energy, he was different from other people; he still had his elemental storage channels. With the immortal elemental energy from his elemental storage, he was able to continue to rain down his onslaught of lighting rain. Without the interference from He Junhu, coupled with the assistance of Han Qingru and Tong Ye, Mo Wuji slaughtered these Heavenly Immortals as easily as chopping vegetables. Some of the stronger Heavenly Immortals managed to block against the lightning swords, but they would then be sliced by Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Halberd Light. Even if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to deal with them, Han Qingru and Tong Ye would not let them go. Being merciful to their enemies would be akin to suicide. Ever since Han Qingru started cultivating, she had never killed as many cultivators as she had now. However, she had to do it. In fact, she didn¡¯t even have time to take a break to catch her breath. The light from magic treasures continuously clashed against the lightning swords; what used to be the rest house was now a scattered mess. Except for a few Heavenly Immortals that were able to counter attack, most of the Heavenly Immortals could only use all their power to defend against the lightning swords, before getting killed. As for those who could defend against the lightning swords and still counter attack, they would gain the special attention of Mo Wuji. The wounds and injuries on Mo Wuji and co.¡¯s bodies continued to increase, but the number of Heavenly Immortals surrounding them continued to decline. This was especially the case for Mo Wuji; those cultivators who could counter attack would use their killer moves on Mo Wuji. If not for his vitality channel, even if he ate an endless amounts of healing pills, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive the constant attacks from the magic treasures. This left Mo Wuji aware of his urgent need to learn a defensive-type skill, or to obtain a top grade defensive treasure. If he had a defensive treasure, this battle would be much easier. When some of the cultivators noticed that He Junhu had yet to take action, they stealthily slipped out of the battle and swiftly departed. "Boom!" Just when Mo Wuji used his lightning sword to pin a Heavenly Immortal onto the ground, the battle finally stopped. The stench of blood and burnt corpses filled the air. There were still many cultivators standing around, but none of them went forward to fight. Mo Wuji took out several jade bottles. After passing some to Han Qingru and Tong Ye, he himself swallowed half a bottle of pills. Even though consuming too many pills would cause detriments to his cultivation, at a time like this, Mo Wuji only cared about recovering his immortal elemental energy and his injuries. Tong Ye started to sweep the battlefield while Han Qingru stood on guard by the side. On the other hand, Mo Wuji held the Half Moon Halberd and walked towards He Junhu. His vitality channel was continuously recovering his wounds. Even though he looked like he was full of injuries, a portion of them would recover with every step he took. Previously, he was severely injured, not simply because his power was far lower than He Junhu, but also because he had to deal with the hordes of Heavenly Immortals. But now that he wasn¡¯t surrounded by a crowd of enemies, he had no need to fear He Junhu, even if he was running out of immortal elemental energy. "Mo Wuji, it seems like I was wrong, I never expected for you to be so capable. With your lightning sword rain, I believe that you wouldn¡¯t be from a simple sect, right? Today, I, He Junhu, on the behalf of your sect, will let you go," He Junhu said coldly as he saw Mo Wuji walk towards him. Mo Wuji was slightly startled; He Junhu actually knew his name. However, he wasn¡¯t completely surprised. Since this fella was working together with Lao Cai, Lao Cai would naturally tell him of such matters. Lao Cai probably knew of the things that Mo Wuji had done in Hundred Flowers Manor. That¡¯s not right ah. If Lao Cai had told He Junhu of his name, then He Junhu wouldn¡¯t have thought that he was from a big sect. Moreover, if He Junhu had such an idea, he wouldn¡¯t have been so unbridled with his previous attacks. "This He fella, you think that the battle will just stop just because you deem it so? Since when was life so good?" Mo Wuji said with contempt. He was sure that He Junhu wasn¡¯t so compassionate; something must have happened to He Junhu. "What do you want? He Junhu said harshly. Even the people beside him could hear the weakness within his voice. He was feeling a bit of regret, he should have taken the opportunity to flee just now. He thought that Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal elemental energy had been depleted, and with more than a hundred Heavenly Immortals surrounding them, Mo Wuji and co. would undoubtedly die. He never expected that Mo Wuji would still be alive despite receiving so many heavy injuries, like an unkillable cockroach. Every time Mo Wuji received a heavy injury, he didn¡¯t fall but continued to rain down with lightning swords. It was because of this, Mo Wuji was eventually able to survive, and even kill more than a hundred Heavenly Immortals. It was also because he was still coveting Mo Wuji¡¯s treasures that He Junhu didn¡¯t leave immediately. As he was speaking, He Junhu subconsciously glanced towards Lao Cai. Only then, did he discover that Lao Cai had already disappeared. What a coward. Mo Wuji was definitely an arrow at the end of his flight; if Lao Cai chose to stay behind, they would definitely be able to kill Mo Wuji. But that fella was really a coward. That cowad had actually fled and left him behind to die. Indeed, those from merchant unions were all useless scoundrels. However, he did not know what was on Lao Cai¡¯s mind. Lao Cai was very clear that Mo Wuji had yet to reveal his full power. According to the Ji brothers¡¯ death site, Lao Cai knew that Mo Wuji still had an impressive sacred art, the Heavenly Fire Punch. With a single Heavenly Fire Punch, Mo Wuji was able to kill Ji Yan. Now that Mo Wuji obtained the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence, as long he wasn¡¯t an idiot, he would have definitely used it to evolve his heavenly fire. If Mo Wuji¡¯s heavenly fire had been upgraded into an immortal fire, Lao Cai would very likely turn to dust if Mo Wuji were to use the same punch, right after He Junhu. Others might not know that He Junhu¡¯s regulation talisman had been broken, but he knew it clearly. It was precisely because the regulation talisman broke, that He Junhu didn¡¯t dare make a move. So, Lao Cai knew that Mo Wuji still had a trump card. However, Mo Wuji had yet to use it, what did that mean? He, Lao Cai, had been able to survive till this date; how could he not know that Mo Wuji was reserving that punch for him? If he dared to attack, he would follow after He Junhu into the afterworld. Moreover, he could also tell that Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning sword rain had passed the threshold of a kill, and was a sacred art. With a sacred art that dominated group battles, would he want to send himself to death? At this point, he even suspected that Mo Wuji was the person who managed to cross the Immortal Chasm alone. Lao Cai¡¯s guess was right; Mo Wuji was indeed reserving his trump cards for Lao Cai. At this moment, Mo Wuji truly felt the benefits of being a pill refiner. After downing half a bottle of pills, coupled with his vitality channel, his injuries were gradually healing and he had recovered a portion of his immortal elemental energy. Coupled with the immortal elemental energy from his elemental storage channel, he was sure that he would be able to unleash a single punch. Now that Lao Cai was gone, even if his punch wasn¡¯t able to kill He Junhu, he would leave He Junhu crippled for life. "I don¡¯t intend to give you my treasures, nor have I gotten a taste of that ¡®regret¡¯ that you mentioned. So, I really want to know, what methods do you have to make me feel that ¡®regret¡¯. And how do you intend to get me to kneel in front of you and pass you my treasures?" As Mo Wuji spoke, the Half Moon Halberd in his hands was already enveloped in killing intent. Mo Wuji even had a perception; he felt that He Junhu¡¯s current domain was fake. He believed that if he were to slash lightly with his halberd, he would be able to rip apart He Junhu¡¯s domain. "I already said. On behalf of your sect, I will not be calculative with you. Hmm!" With that cold snort, He Junhu actually turned and walked away. This fella definitely wasn¡¯t such a kind person. Back in the auction, this fella was already arrogant to the point of death. As Mo Wuji thought of this, he was no longer polite. WIth his green halberd, he formed a 10 meter long halberd light, which he used to envelope He Junhu. Chapter 475: Heading Towards Ying Bian City Chapter 475: Heading Towards Ying Bian City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations An intense sense of death loomed over him; He Junhu promptly turned back. With fear in his eyes, he said in aghast, "Mo Wuji, you dare to kill me? I¡¯m Seven Smoke Sect¡¯s manager. If you dare to kill me, when you get to the Immortal World, there will be no where for you to hide¡­" The Half Moon Halberd Light shone with greater brilliance. Even though it was merely accumulating power, all the cultivators could feel the intense killing intent from the light. Even an idiot knew that Mo Wuji was going to kill He Junhu, and Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent was simply bursting. "You say that I don¡¯t dare to kill you? If I didn¡¯t care about the reputation of the auction, I would have killed you back at the auction site. I simply love killing arrogant people, who asked you to be more arrogant than him?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know why He Junhu didn¡¯t dare many a move, but his killing intent continued to grow and expand. He Junhu knew that Mo Wuji was bent on killing him. Once again, he brought out his huge square stamp and filled it with immortal elemental energy. The killing intent accumulated within the Half Moon Halberd Light had already reached its peak; it swiftly raced through the air, slicing towards He Junhu. Even though He Junhu also smashed forward with his stamp, it did not manage to accumulate much energy. Before that stamp could collide against Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Halberd Light, Mo Wuji heard a peculiar cracking sound. Thereafter, Mo Wuji saw a scene which caused him to suspect his own eyes. Out of nowhere, He Junhu actually shattered into countless pieces; a storage ring landed on the floor. "Pfff!" Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd light flew past the stamp which had already lost control, slicing through He Junhu¡¯s shattered body. Mo Wuji was filled with astonishment as he suddenly felt the majestic and boundless pressure from the Heaven and Earth. Just now, when He Junhu had been crushed into pieces by the laws of the Heaven and Earth, he had been the closest. Thus, he felt the pressure clearly. Under the terrifying pressure of the Heaven and Earth, even he would be crushed into pieces. No wonder why He Junhu had been so afraid, and didn¡¯t dare to attack him. It should be because this fella¡¯s regulation talisman had met with some problems. From the looks of it, Lao Cai had escaped because he was afraid that Mo Wuji would attack him. A Golden Immortal was indeed an unrivalled existence in the Corner of Yong Ying. However, if a Golden Immortal met a fella like Mo Wuji that could cause his regulation talisman to break, even the most ruthless of Golden Immortals wouldn¡¯t want to take the risk to fight Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was not especially happy; he simply picked up He Junhu¡¯s storage ring. He wasn¡¯t afraid of He Junhu¡¯s sect, the Seven Smoke Sect. Back when he was in Zhen Xing, he had offended many experts to the point where all the sects in Zhen Mo were hunting him, but didn¡¯t he still turn out well? If not for those pursuits, he was sure that he wouldn¡¯t have achieved what he had today. Without pressure, there was no motivation. Ever since he started cultivation, he, Mo Wuj, had always been growing through adversity. The reason for Mo Wuji¡¯s silence was because he felt the minuteness of his life. Even if his power was multiplied by another ten thousand times, he would still be an ant in front of that pressure of the Heaven and Earth. The feeling that his fate wasn¡¯t in his control had left Mo Wuji feeling completely helpless. He recalled his Lightning Calamity; his Lightning Calamity had been much fiercer than other cultivators, and there was even a wave of black lightning that tried to kill him. Now, Mo Wuji knew that he was still given a tiny life line. If he was struck down with that previous power of the Heaven and Earth, even a thousand of him would not be enough to deal with it.. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze turned towards the two Golden Immortals that were spectating the battle. When the two of them saw Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze, they remained expressionless. They wouldn¡¯t take the risk of damaging their regulation talisman to battle Mo Wuji, nor would they specially appease him. Mo Wuji brought out his flying car and said, "Senior Sister Qingru, let¡¯s go." The flying car left behind a misty mark as it sped through the air. It soon charged out of Jin Yun City Square, disappearing among the clouds. The moment Mo Wuji left, Jin Yun City Square was filled with all sorts of speculations and discussions. No matter where Mo Wuji came from, such a power Heavenly Immortal was simply hitherto unheard of. Even though they know that it would be hard for Mo Wuji to enter the Immortal World, many of them were still filled with admiration towards Mo Wuji. After all, not every Heavenly Immortal could be as powerful as Mo Wuji. ¡­ "Senior Sister Qingru, how long will it take for u to get to Ying Bian City?" Mo Wuji asked, the moment the flying car left Jin Yun City Square. Han Qingru calculated, "Your flying car is even better than a half immortal equipment; it is infinitesimally close to being a Grade 1 flying immortal equipment. If we move forward at full speed, it would take at most five days to reach Ying Bian City." "Then use the fastest speed to move to Ying Bian City. I will use these five days to cultivate." Mo Wuji decided to continue to refine the Half Moon Halberd Blade. During the battle in Jin Yun City Square, Mo Wuji became acutely aware that he would not necessarily lose if he went to Ying Bian City. Moreover, he had committed many mistakes during the battle at Jin Yun City Square. If he immediately attacked He Junhu, he probably wouldn¡¯t have suffered such heavy injuries. Of course, He Junhu and Lao Cai had also made mistakes in that battle. Those two fellas had underestimated him. By the time he damaged He Junhu¡¯s regulation talisman, it was too late for Lao Cai to enter the battle. Now that he had committed this mistake once, he definitely wouldn¡¯t do it again. These Golden Immortal cultivators could only come here because of the regulation talisman. Even if there were Golden Immortal cultivators at Ying Bian City, Mo Wuji did not believe that there would be many of them; at most three to five people. By that time, he would not have to think about anything else and immediately go all out; he would even use his trump cards. He didn¡¯t need to kill his opponents; as long as he damaged the regulation talismans of those Golden Immortal cultivators, he wins. A restrained Golden Immortal could not be called a Golden Immortal. "I will also cultivate." Tong Ye knew that a huge battle would ensue when they reached Ying Bian City. With that, he took out a large number of storage rings and passed them to Mo Wuji. "Brother Tong, wait." As Mo Wuji spoke, he also took out He Junhu¡¯s storage ring. Even though He Junhu was a Golden Immortal, after Mo Wuji killed him, Mo Wuji was still able to open He Junhu¡¯s storage ring. Soon, Mo Wuji found an exquisite steel umbrella from He Junhu¡¯s storage. "I was right, this fella really had a defensive magic treasure. This steel umbrella is at least a Grade 2 or Grade 3 defensive immortal equipment. Brother Tong, use these few days to refine this steel umbrella. When we get to Ying Bian City, you need to help protect me when I attack." Mo Wuji passed the steel umbrella to Tong Ye. When they get to Ying Bian City, Mo Wuji decided to get rid of the Golden Immortals first. After eliminating the Golden Immortals, he would need to fear the other cultivators that were at the same stage. As for the pile of storage rings which Tong Ye took out, Mo Wuji kept them all. It wasn¡¯t because he was the one that killed the majority of the Heavenly Immortal cultivators, but because he wanted to establish Tian Ji Sect. ¡­ Within internal compartment of the flying car, Mo Wuji took out the Half Moon Halberd and started to refine the second layer of restrictions. Even though it was a fragment of a treasure, Mo Wuji was still able to achieve such power by refining the first layer of restrictions. If he continued to refine more layers, the power of his Half Moon Halberd would definitely increase by another fold. Four days passed in a flash. Mo Wuji had already refined the third layer of the Half Moon Halberd¡¯s restrictions, but he could no longer go any further. He didn¡¯t know whether it was because the Half Moon Halberd Blade was losing its main body, or because his cultivation was too low. No matter what he tried, he would only feel a murky energy, and he was completely unable to feel the next layer of restrictions. Mo Wuji did not forcefully try to refine the blade; by refining the third layer of the Half Moon Halberd Blade, its power had risen by another fold. This was equivalent to another trump card for him. "Junior brother." Seeing Mo Wuji, Han Qingru stood up. Ever since she joined Mo Wuji, she started to understand many principles and ideas. Take meeting Lao Cai for example. Previously, Lao Cai was like a thorn in her heart; every time she met Lao Cai, she would feel discomfort throughout her body. But now, that Lao Cai actually fled on his own accord. "Senior Sister Qingru, how long would it take to get to Ying Bian City?" Mo Wuji also felt the change in Han Qingru. When he first met Han Qingru, she was patient and tolerant, but she lacked courage. But after experiencing so many things, Han Qingru had already started to change. "Probably half a day¡­ Eh, junior brother, there¡¯s a flying ship chasing after us," Han Qingru said in surprise. Even if Han Qingru didn¡¯t say anything, Mo Wuji had already seen the flying ship. Moreover, he recognised the person standing on the deck of the flying ship. Chapter 476: Someone Really Dared To Attack Ying Bian City Chapter 476: Someone Really Dared To Attack Ying Bian City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Senior Sister, stop the flying car, I know this person." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he had already landed at the front of the flying car. Moments later, Han Qingru steered the flying car to a stop, and a flying ship pulled up by the side. "Ku Ya, it¡¯s been so long." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, and spoke with a tinge of joy in his voice. He never expected that he could meet Ku Ya this close to Ying Bian City, and Ku Ya even had dense spirituality about her, evidently having gone through the Heavenly Immortal heavenly tribulation and changed over to immortal elemental energy. Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Earthly Immortal Stage cultivators all had strong foundations, so it wasn¡¯t unusual for them to immediately advance to Heavenly Immortal Stage after reaching the Corner of Yong Ying. What made Mo Wuji shocked was the flying ship that Ku Ya was on. This flying ship very obviously outclassed his flying car, even reaching the level of a Grade 3 immortal equipment. When Ku Ya saw Mo Wuji, happiness glittered in her eyes for a moment, before she bowed respectfully, "Ku Ya greets brother Mo. I knew that brother Mo would not perish in the Immortal Chasm, and indeed it is so." "Ku Ya, let¡¯s catch up in my flying car." Ku Ya¡¯s immortal elemental energy was dense, and she also had a decent flying ship, which naturally meant that she had met with some good luck. "Sure." Ku Ya didn¡¯t think about it, and landed straight on Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car. "Ku Ya, why are you here?" Seeing Ku Ya approach him, Mo Wuji asked immediately. With a sigh, Ku Ya replied, "Back when I received news about Jia Qi, I was trapped in an immortal estate. That¡¯s also where I met some good opportunities, even obtaining a magic treasure and cultivation technique¡­" As she spoke, Ku Ya was about to reach for her ring, but Mo Wuji waved it off, "Ku Ya, although you have joined Tian Ji Sect, but these cultivation techniques and magic treasures were found by you, and hence it belongs to you. There¡¯s no need to take them out to show me." After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Ku Ya ceased with her actions, and continued, "After I inherited and assimilated the cultivation technique then did I open up exit the estate. By the time I reached Ying Bian City, it was too late. I¡¯ve always been waiting here for the perfect opportunity to rescue Abacus who¡¯s being hung from the city gates. But before I could make my move, I met brother Mo, what luck." Mo Wuji nodded his head, "I¡¯m just about to go to Ying Bian City to save people too. Let¡¯s go together then." He could feel that Ku Ya sincerely wanted to save Abacus. This was purely based on his gut feeling, and not because Ku Ya had changed the way she referred to him. "Sure." Ku Ya agreed without hesitation. She did not take out her own flying ship, as they had already reached the outer region of Ying Bian City. A little further and they would be inside. "Let me introduce you, this is Han Qingru, a new member of our Tian Ji Sect. Senior Sister Qingru, this is Ku Ya, she came from the Half Immortal Domain just like us." Mo Wuji briefly introduced. Seeing that Han Qingru¡¯s flying car was heading straight for Ying Bian City, without any camouflage at all, Ku Ya couldn¡¯t help but ask, "Brother Mo, there¡¯s four Golden Immortal Stage cultivators in Ying Bian city. On top of that, there¡¯s an emergency transfer array linked directly to the Immortal World. Do we still go over just like that?" "Ku Ya¡­" Tong Ye cried out in surprise as he walked out. He had just finished refining the steel umbrella.. "Ku Ya, what do you think?" Mo Wuji knew that Ku Ya was the most meticulous person on board, and was not easily tricked either. If Ku Ya was also in the team that took part in the rescue, Tong Ye¡¯s companions should not have perished, and Kou Yuan would not have lost his life. Ku Ya replied seriously, "I¡¯ve done some investigating, while the Golden Immortals are strong, but they have a fatal weakness: they do not dare to go all out. Once they use all of their strength, it will break their regulation talisman, and they will be crushed by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. The strongest of the four Golden Immortals is the castellan of Ying Bian City, Luo Yun. He¡¯s at the Great Circle of Golden Immortal Stage, and possesses an extremely strong red coloured blade. I¡¯ve got a way to stop this guy for an incense¡¯s worth of time, and while I do so, Brother Mo can protect Tong Ye and this sister to make the rescue. I have a flying immortal equipment too, so once we¡¯ve completed the rescue, we can get out of there swiftly." After hearing the whole plan, Mo Wuji did not speak. He somehow felt that Ku Ya¡¯s plan was a little too simplistic, and the main problem with it was that there was no consideration made for the other three Golden Immortal Stage cultivators. Even the defensive array of Ying Bian City was ignored. Ku Ya carried on, "Brother Mo, the plan I just proposed is the least favourable one. It mainly hinges on you being able to block the counterattack of the remaining Golden Immortals, so if any part of the plan screws up, none of us will be able to leave Ying Bian City." "Ku Ya, please tell us what your plan A and plan B are then." Mo Wuji nodded his head. He knew that Ku Ya was an expert in scheming. Ku Ya continued, "The second strongest in Ying Bian City is Lao Cai. This guy is the manager of the He Lian Merchant Union. I heard that he went for the Jin Yun Auction, and while I¡¯ve been surveilling the outside of Ying Bian City, I¡¯ve yet to see him return. Brother Mo can directly steer the flying car to Ying Bian City. There¡¯s no need for any concealment. My idea is that brother Mo continues as per the previous plan, while I¡¯ll execute the rescue.After that, we¡¯ll rendezvous outside of Ying Bian City and immediately flee." Once this plan was proposed , Mo Wuji knew that Ku Ya should have guessed his style of handling things, and at the same time made a rough estimate of his strength. If he did not have a certain level of strength, he definitely would not have charged straight towards Ying Bian City. This plan of Ku Ya was made based on how strong he was, and the prerequisite was that he could perform as well as he made himself to be. "Plan A is for us to stop for a while, find a place to alter our appearance, then enter Ying Bian City¡­" Before Ku Ya completed the explanation of her plan, Mo Wuji cut her off, "Let¡¯s merge the least favourable plan and plan B. Plan A doesn¡¯t seem very pleasant to execute. We¡¯ll charge directly into Ying Bian City, and immediately destroy the transfer array linking the Immortal World and Ying Bian City. At the same time, Tong Ye will do the rescue, while I wreck havoc in the city." As she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s bold plan, Ku Ya could feel her blood frothing too. She could feel how heroic Mo Wuji was at the Half Immortal Domain, where he was roamed unrivalled. Even Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Dao Lord, Guang Quan, did not dare to utter a single word of bullsh*t towards him." This kind of head on clash was really Mo Wuji¡¯s style. "Sure, let¡¯s fight our way in like that then." Ku Ya agreed instantly. But Mo Wuji gazed upon Ku Ya with a confused look, "Ku Ya, I thought that you would advise against such a plan." Yet Ku Ya replied with a grin, "Brother Mo, while I¡¯m not very sure what your dao is, but I¡¯ve had a little exposure to it. For such a mission, fighting our way in definitely is the most suitable for you. I believe that since you¡¯re bold enough to battle into the city, you must have some level of confidence. From another perspective, even if I fall in Ying Bian City with brother Mo, it would still be worthwhile." "That¡¯s right, I agree with Ku Ya. FIghting our way in is really an exciting plan." Tong Ye loudly agreed." "We¡¯ve arrived at Ying Bian City." Han Qingru stopped the flying car. The four of them disembarked from the flying car, and Mo Wuji kept it with a wave of his hand. At the moment, they were staring at the city walls that extended into the clouds. This was the largest city wall in the whole Corner of Yong Ying, and also where the rest of the Immortal Domain (Corner of Yong Ying) was governed from. However, The first thing that caught Mo Wuji¡¯s attention was not the grand city walls, but Abacus, who was hung from the side of the city. He could not sense any vitality from Abacus either, but could only see him flapping in the wind like a dried piece of fish. Ku Ya bit her lip, and her nails dug so deep into her palm until she drew blood. But she still did not move, instead waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s call. After taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji thoroughly felt how insignificant his cultivation level was. If he was stronger, then he wouldn¡¯t have had to go to Jin Yun City Square and could have come here with Tong Ye ten days ago to bring Abacus away. Thankfully, he still made it here eventually. "Ku Ya, how¡¯s your array dao?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t charge straight in, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question. "I¡¯m confident that I can take down the transfer array linked to the Immortal World in the shortest amount of time possible." Ku Ya was rather smart, so even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t explicitly say what he wanted her to do, she could infer it all from one question. "Good." Mo Wuji continued after uttering that one word, "When we charge into Ying Bian City later, Han Qingru will save Abacus, Tong Ye will rescue Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi. Leave the rest to me." As everyone acknowledged their roles, Mo Wuji opened his hand, drawing out the Half Moon Halberd in one swift motion. A 30m long halberd radiance tore apart the defensive array base outside of Ying Bian City. The originally blurry city completely came into focus after this move. Although Ying Bian City was the largest city and also the center of the Corner of Yong Ying, but it was also a symbol of power; the highest point that cultivators aim for in the Corner of Yong Ying. In such a place, even without the defensive array, no one would dare to start a fight. Moreover, there were the strongest Golden Immortal as the city¡¯s castellan and a few other Golden Immortals around too. Hence, the defensive array of Ying Bian City did not have to be strong, but was there just to beautify the surroundings with some aura of spirituality. To someone who was well versed in array dao like Mo Wuji, such a, empty vase of a defensive array had its array base completely exposed. So what if this was a Grade 3 Immortal Array? He could still break its array base with a swing of his halberd. Only after Mo Wuji threw out that halberd strike did he truly understand the extent of his improvement. Back in the Jin Yun City Square, he had also swung his halberd in a similar manner, but the amount of energy expended then was many times more. It was clear to him that this was not because his strength had multiplied by many folds, but as he had refined the Half Moon Halberd to the third level of its restrictions. Countless halberd radiances followed right after the array base had been split. "Crack!" The pretty but useless defensive array of Ying Bian City shattered totally in an instant. Many cultivators stared at Mo Wuji, who took a step over in midair, without any clue as to what had just happened. If anyone said that Mo Wuji was here to attack Ying Bian City, everyone else would think that he was joking. There has not been a single person that has had the ability and courage to launch a head on assault into Ying Bian City. But what Mo Wuji said next stunned most of the crowd, "Those with no relations with Ying Bian City, please leave quickly, otherwise I won¡¯t be responsible for whether you live." There was actually someone who dared to assault Ying Bian City. Chapter 477: You’re Still Too Late Chapter 477: You¡¯re Still Too Late Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I know who he is, at Jin Yun City Square¡­" A cultivator exclaimed. Without any further explanation, everyone knew what was going on. Many days ago, there was an extremely ruthless Heavenly Immortal cultivator at Jin Yun City Square who killed over a hundred cultivators of the same cultivation level, even including Seven Smoke Sect¡¯s He Junhu. After they realised who Mo Wuji was, most of the cultivators immediately rushed out of Ying Bian City. As promised, Mo Wuji did not stop them either. "Who dares to speak such bullsh*t at my Ying Bian City!" Before the sound of the voice completely faded away, a tall figure charged out from the depths of Ying Bian City. "Let¡¯s begin." Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd swung out multiple times at the figure that just emerged. This man was bursting with immortal elemental energy, obviously a Golden Immortal Stage expert. Ku Ya rushed into Ying Bian City almost at the same time when Mo Wuji started his attack. Two Heavenly Immortal cultivators who got in her way simply got cut up by a thin streak of light. Once Ku Ya made her move, Mo Wuji, who had always been observing her movements, immediately knew that since they arrived from the Half Immortal Domain, her strength had grown by a lot. Han Qingru leapt towards the city walls, preparing to save Abacus, while Tong Ye followed close behind Ku Ya to charge into Ying Bian City. He had been here before, hence he had a good idea of where Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi were imprisoned. "Don¡¯t care about the other people, just surround and kill this guy." THe Golden Immortal Stage cultivator that faced off against Mo Wuji roared out after exchanged a round of simple blows with him. Everyone understood what the Golden Immortal meant: as long as they could kill Mo Wuji, it would be useless even if the rest of the crew succeeded in their rescues. Seeing that his opponent did not continue attacking Han Qingru and co, and did not start a massacre either, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will swept to Ku Ya, discovering that all surrounding restrictions that blocked out spiritual will were broken by her. This made Mo Wuji admire Ku Ya more. Ku Ya was a real genius, to actually think of destroying those spiritual will restrictions to allow him to observe the situation within Ying Bian City. "You¡¯re that Mo Wuji? I heard you killed Seven Smoke Sect¡¯s He Junhu? And also over a hundred Heavenly Immortal cultivators in Jin Yun City Square too?" The large Golden Immortal blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s path, but cooled down instead, not making a move against Mo Wuji immediately. At this moment, a red clothed man rushed over. Mo WUji and the Golden Immortal cultivator had fought before, and once he saw this red clothed cultivator, he knew that this was another Golden Immortal cultivator. Two Golden Immortals stood in the way of Mo Wuji, whole many other Heavenly Immortal cultivators blocked off all of his escape routes. "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Mo Wuji. It looks like you must be Ying Bian City¡¯s castellan, Luo Yun." Mo Wuji spoke as his spiritual will continued to track Ku Ya. According to Ku Ya, even if Lao Cai did not return, Ying Bian City should still have another Golden Immortal cultivator. However, only two appeared before him, which meant that there was still one of them hiding in the dark. He, Ku Ya, Tong Ye, and co. had agreed that as long as anyone saw a Golden Immortal Stage cultivator, they would immediately inform him. At this point, Han Qingru had already rescued Abacus, and was simply waiting outside of Ying Bian City. "I¡¯m indeed Ying Bian City¡¯s castellan, Luo Yun. Mo Wuji, you¡¯ve no chance here. You broke the rules of the Corner of Yong Ying, and dared to kill the Golden Immortal cultivators of a large sect, hence even if you went to the Immortal World, there¡¯s nowhere that you can settle down at. I¡¯ll give you one option. Since you have exceptional strength, we¡¯re willing to allow you to properly join Yong Ying Immortal Domain to become a person of Yong Ying." While this was going on, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will detected that Ku Ya was destroying the transfer array, which was shining brightly at the borders, an obvious sign that someone was trying to transfer over. Luo Jun also noticed this almost at the same time, and his expression took a turn for the worse. "Is it Yong Ying first, then Yong Ying Prison next?" Mo Wuji raised both of his hands as he spoke, and one by one, dao techniques formed on his hands, causing a rain of lightning bolts to come falling down. "You actually know about Yong Ying Prison¡­" Luo Yun could not bother about the transfer array being destroyed anymore, and charged straight for Mo Wuji. At this moment, Mo Wuji did not hold back. Once he let loose the Boundless Lightning Rain, he threw out a punch. A fist domain that caused an area to freeze began to spread out, and all cultivators entrapped in it were killed by the rain of lightning. At the same time, Mo Wuji could feel that his opponent¡¯s Golden Immortal domain was slowed down by the fist domain, and as compared to when he tested this fist alone, the extent of slowing down was increasingly serious. Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal elemental energy in his elemental storage channel burst forth once more, and there was no holding back of spiritual will from his spirit storage channel, causing the fist domain to spread out at an increasing rate. Once the fist domain began to spread out in a fan shape, Luo Yun could sense it immediately. With a swipe of his left hand, a round saw like magic treasure appeared, and was swung towards Mo Wuji¡¯s punch. Under the pressure from the round saw, Mo Wuji¡¯s fist domain cracked wide open, and now, the best option for him was to quickly evade it, before consolidating his strength and striking again. But Mo Wuji knew better than anyone that he could not dodge. Once he did, his opponent would find out about his fist domain, and the next time he attempted a sneak attack, there would not be such a good opportunity any more. There would be the rounds saw and additional defences waiting for him if he did so. Spatial imprisonment! With another wave of his hand, countless dao techniques formed a solidified space. This solidified space did not fly towards Luo Yun, instead it went towards the round saw that was tearing through air. At this point Mo Wuji knew that he had to get rid of the strongest Golden Immortal as soon as possible, otherwise it would be very difficult to cement their victory. "Boom!" A burst of killing intent shot towards Mo Wuji from his side, and he immediately knew that it originated from the red clothed man . His lightning rain could be used to harvest countless Heavenly Immortal cultivators¡¯ lives, but they had no effect on this red clothed Golden Immortal Stage cultivator. Death seeped into Mo Wuji¡¯s consciousness, and even his subconscious was pushing him to run away, otherwise his life would be at risk. It was clear that he could not dodge away. If he did, he would indeed avoid being killed by the red clothed cultivator, but he would not be able to kill Luo Yun either. As long as he could not kill Luo Yun this time, he would be dead as his trump card had been revealed already. A plan popped into Mo Wuji¡¯s head. He forced himself to barely twist his hip and threw fist covered with heavenly fire. Following which, the half moon halberd vibrated slightly before releasing a slash. Perhaps because Mo Wuji did not consolidate sufficient strength, this slash of his halberd was much weaker than before, and only extended a few meters out, slightly off in direction even, striking an area around a meter beside Luo Yun¡¯s current position. A spatial passage opened by heavenly fire appeared before Luo Yun, Ying Bian City¡¯s castellan. This made Luo Yun¡¯s expression change suddenly, while at the same time he heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily he still had the Spatial Saw, otherwise he would have had a tough time avoiding this fist. Luo Yun believed that his Spatial Saw could grind Mo Wuji¡¯s punch to dust, and indeed with his Spatial Saw, the impact from the punch was reduced to the level where it only injured him. However, as the pressure from Mo Wuji¡¯s fist domain and heavenly fire came crashing down, Luo Yun could only forcibly twist his body just as Mo Wuji had. Soon after, Luo Yun¡¯s facial expression changed. He could see his Spatial Saw halt in midair for a moment while it moved forward. Even though it was only for a short instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s Heavenly Fire Punch tore through space and arrived in his face. Immediately, Luo Yun was shocked senseless. It was apparent that once he got hit by this punch, no matter how strong he was, he would die. This was simply because Mo Wuji¡¯s punch could shatter the regulation talisman on him. At this point, he didn¡¯t even think about how Mo Wuji could produce a slash that was just a meter long that missed him. Almost instantly, he ȼÉÕ¾«Ñª, attempting to escape from the punch. But the direction that he was dodging in was where the slash awaited. "Boom!" This punch of Mo WUji still landed on Luo Yun¡¯s waist, tearing a good half of it into nothingness. "Clang!" As Luo Yun was about to get cut into two by the slash, a dark brown saber descended from above, completely parrying it. Deep inside, Mo Wuji was a little stunned. Man can only plan, while the heavens determine its success. He didn¡¯t expect the third Golden Immortal cultivator to come with such impeccable timing to disrupt his plan to kill Luo Yun. "Pew!" A burst of light shot cleanly through Mo Wuji¡¯s hip. The shot went through the left side of his hip and came out from the right, bringing along with it a stream of blood. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s quick reaction of turning his hips, this strike would definitely have torn him into two. After that he consumed many pills, and put his vitality channel into overdrive. The only reason he dared to bear this killer strike was due to the existence of his vitality channel. "Brother Luo, thankfully I¡¯m still not too late." The cultivator that blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s half moon halberd¡¯s slash and saved Luo Yun¡¯s life landed beside Luo Yun. Yet, there was no spirit left in Luo Yun¡¯s eyes, as he spoke while sighing, "No, you¡¯re still too late¡­" The Golden Immortal cultivator seemed to understand something, and suddenly retreated as his expression took a change for the worse. But just as he did so, Luo Yun¡¯s body was crushed by an immensely strong instance of the essence of heaven and earth . Seeing that Luo Yun did not die under his hands, but was still killed by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, he could finally heave a sigh of relief in his heart. There was a big difference between facing up against three and two Golden Immortal Stage cultivators. Now, he did not wait for his vitality channel to completely heal his injuries, throwing out a rain of lightning swords. The difference between foreigners and those from Ying Bian City did not matter anymore. All within the range of his rain of lightning swords was a target to be hunted. The Golden Immortal cultivator that ambushed Mo Wuji snorted after seeing that Mo Wuji remained this cocky even as he had taken significant damage. Hence he drew a magic treasure and sent countless suppressing instances of light to cover Mo Wuji. At this point, Mo Wuji was thinking of the same thing. Since this Golden Immortal dared to ambush him, how could he leave it at that? He did not bother about the other Golden Immortal cultivator that appeared subsequently, swinging his Half Moon Halberd repeatedly at the Golden Immortal right in front of him. Chapter 478: Domain Crushing Fist Chapter 478: Domain Crushing Fist Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A large swath of Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance clashed with the red clothed Golden Immortal¡¯s magic treasure, causing a giant explosion. When he felt the extent of the strength from the half moon halberd, the red clothed Golden Immortal roared out, "Han Zhiqi, what are you waiting for?" Without any further prompting, the last Golden Immortal cultivator made his move. A burst of light shot through the air and stuck around Mo Wuji. At the same time, his magic treasure was drawn out. Han Zhiqi¡¯s magic treasure was a pair of Yin Wheels. Once they were out, a shiver went through Mo Wuji¡¯s body, as if there were a creepy pair of hands grabbing his arm. Mo Wuji knew that he had his limits, hence he did not bother about Han Zhiqi¡¯s attack, ignoring even that infinitely thin streak of light. Instead, he continued to punch towards the red clothed cultivator. Seeing Mo Wuji ignore Han Zhiqi to focus on killing him, the red clothed cultivator¡¯s expression changed immediately. He never thought that Mo Wuji would be one who bore grudges. Just because he had ambushed Mo Wuji once and caused severe injuries, this guy actually wanted to kill him, even if it meant death for himself. No matter how ballsy he was, he did not dare to face this punch of Mo Wuji head on. The strength of this punch was apparent, as Luo Yun¡¯s regulation talisman was destroyed by it, which eventually caused him to be crushed by the laws of heaven and earth. While the red clothed man thought highly of himself, but he dared not compare himself with Luo Yun; two of him might not even be a match for Luo Yun. So once he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s punch come flying over, there were no second thoughts as he dodged aside swiftly. Even the magic treasure he used to block Mo Wuji¡¯s half moon halberd was left behind. But he could sense something was wrong when he retreated, because the punch from Mo Wuji did not have any restraining effect on him at all. Could this punch be a dud? The next moment, his suspicions was confirmed. Almost immediately when he turned around, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure suddenly made a turn, and punched out once again. The scorching heat from the second punch was clearly felt him even while fleeing. Only then did he realise that Mo Wuji¡¯s real target was not him, but Han Zhiqi. When Han Zhiqi saw his Life Draining Spike penetrate Mo Wuji¡¯s body, he was laughing to himself on the inside. No matter how brutal Mo Wuji was, once the Life Draining Spike entered his body, he would have half a foot in the grave already. Not only would his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will dry up, but his vitality would also be drained away at an alarming rate. Han Zhiqi shot an impatient look at the faraway red clothed Golden Immortal, before raising a yin storm with the dual wheels in his hands while shouting, "Die!" The moment that the Life Draining Spike dug into Mo Wuji¡¯s flesh, Mo Wuji knew that something was wrong. This thin needle like thing could actually absorb his vitality and also suppress his spiritual will and immortal elemental energy on top of that. If it were anyone else, Han Zhiqi¡¯s attack with the Yin Wheels would have sent him to the afterlife. However, Mo Wuji was not just anyone else. Even if his vitality was being drained, and his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will was being absorbed, but his punch still did not slow down one bit. When his elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel were engaged, this punch even became much stronger than before. "Let¡¯s see who¡¯s going to die here." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and immortal elemental energy from his two storage channels were stacked onto the punch. He had to kill with this strike. His half moon halberd was called back to deal with the Yin Wheels that were coming his way too. "Boom!" The terrifying aura of heavenly fire exploded while the fist domain spread out in a fan shape. Although Mo Wuji¡¯s fist domain could not match up to the completeness of the Golden Immortal¡¯s domain, but it was an attack type domain. Under the fist domain, Han Zhiqi¡¯s Golden Immortal domain began to break apart. The scorching aura from the heavenly fire blew open a path, and even without using any spatial imprisonment, Han Zhiqi was locked in place at the end of the path, while the punch arrived in front of him in an instant. From the moment that Han Zhiqi asked Mo Wuji to die, he knew that something was up. He saw the large area burnt by the flames, and within it there was a gigantic fist. The fist was filled with fierce killing intent and could seemingly not be withdrawn. This was not good. He had been too complacent after the Life Draining Spike hit Mo Wuji. What sort of person was this, to not fear his Life Draining Spike? "Bang!" The half moon halberd collided with the Ying Wheels, but the killing intent that blew outwards was blocked by Mo Wuji¡¯s fist domain. At this point, there were only two options for Han Zhiqi. The first was to use all of his strength to block Mo Wuji¡¯s fist, and the second was to put everything on the line in a clash with the fist. Inside, Han Zhiqi knew that no matter which option he took, it would ultimately lead to death for him. It was not because he was inferior to Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji¡¯s fist was obviously aiming to break his regulation talisman, and the fist indeed could do so if it hit. Igniting his vital blood, Han Zhiqi threw out a punch of his own. Even if he died, he would die with some of his dignity intact. "Boom!" The two fists made contact, and the surrounding space showed waves of ripples propagating outwards. Following which, sounds of bones breaking could be heard. In his state of desperation, Han Zhiqi had actually managed to block Mo Wuji¡¯s fist by igniting his vital blood. However, his face was as pale as a ghost, and a pitiful smile appeared on it. There was nothing to celebrate at this point. This punch used up almost all of his immortal elemental energy, so even if Mo Wuji decided to turn around and leave, he would still die. "You¡¯re really strong, one of the strongest Heavenly Immortals I¡¯ve ever seen in my life. Even if I did not have a regulation talisman, I might not be able to defeat you." Han Zhiqi¡¯s regulation talisman broke into pieces as he completed his sentence. The terrifying pressure from the laws of heaven and earth started to press onto him, eventually crushing him into bits. Mo Wuji coughed a few times before calmly gazing upon the area that Han Zhiqi disappeared from. Then he took Han Zhiqi¡¯s ring. "This punch will now be known as the Domain Crushing Fist." Mo Wuji raised his fist into the air. The domain of this punch of his could tear open a Golden Immortal¡¯s domain and kill one, which made him very proud of it. The name ¡®Domain Crushing Fist¡¯ was very apt too. There was still more to improve for this punch in the future, as it borrowed the aura of the heavenly fire to break the opponent¡¯s domain, but did not allow the full wrath of the heavenly fire to be unleashed. After coughing a few more times, Mo Wuji turned around. The red clothed cultivator was nowhere to be found anymore. When Mo Wuji killed Han Zhiqi, he had taken the chance to run away. This sort of Heavenly Immortal was not one that he could kill. Mo Wuji cast a cold look at the surrounding Heavenly Immortal cultivators, and spoke slowly, "Ying Bian City is no longer a puppet of the Immortal World. Everyone can carry on with their lives, and at the same time no one is allowed to kill the cultivators from the Half Immortal Domain." The rest of the group would be seeking death if they spoke up for the Immortal World after witnessing Mo Wuji kill two Golden Immortal experts. Moreover, what Mo Wuji just did was something many wanted to do for the longest time but did not do so. The most comforting thing was that Mo Wuji did not take action against anyone else after killing the two Golden Immortals of Ying Bian City. "Brother Mo, I¡¯ve taken apart the transfer array to the Immortal World. Near it I saw another transfer array which seemed to be linked to the Half Immortal Domain." By the time Ku Ya arrived at Mo Wuji¡¯s side, the battle was long over. The scenario he predicted of a large group of experts attacking him at once did not happen in the end. Apparently, the cultivators had less of a sense of belonging towards Ying Bian City than he expected. "Take it down too¡­" Just as Mo Wuji finished speaking, he saw Yong ye bringing Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi over. "When I saw those guys running away, and no one trying to block me, I knew that brother Mo had used his abilities to kill Luo Yun." Tong Ye loudly declared from a distance. "Brother Mo, you¡¯re actually alright." Lou Chuanhe laughed as he saw that Mo Wuji was fine. Jia Qi also bowed respectfully, "Thank you brother Mo for saving me." Mo Wuji could not help but cough, and waved his hands while speaking, "All of us are brothers and sisters of a sect, so there¡¯s no need for any thanks. Brother Tong, has your brother Tong Cheng been found yet?" Tong Ye shook his head, "No. I¡¯ve asked around and my brother should not have been caught, just like me." Chapter 479: The Immortal Estate at the Bottom of Lifeless River Chapter 479: The Immortal Estate at the Bottom of Lifeless River Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Junior Brother, you¡¯re hurt?" Han Qingru panicked as she heard Mo Wuji coughing. Mo Wuji coughed a few more times before speaking, "I¡¯m fine. I was only ambushed by that guy with a small needle. After we leave this place, I¡¯ll force it out." "Sigh, I¡¯m the one that implicated Brother Kou Yuan."Lou Chuanhe seemed rather down. Seeing that Ku Ya had returned, Mo Wuji pat Lou Chuanhe on the back, "We¡¯ll definitely avenge Brother Kou Yuan. No matter where Lao Cai hides, he¡¯ll still be in the Corner of Yong Ying. We can¡¯t stay here much longer. Let¡¯s leave immediately." Mo Wuji could feel that the Life Draining Spike in him was very strong. Even his vitality channel could not suppress it completely. The only person that could deal with Golden Immortals was him, so if he couldn¡¯t fight, it would be very dangerous to remain here. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions, Ku Ya quickly took out a flying ship. A stream of people boarded it and soon they charged out of Ying Bian City into the distance. ¡­ Half a month later, Mo Wuji pulled out a thin needle that was so small that it almost could not be seen by the naked eye. The width of this needle was barely a tenth of a strand of hair. After the past half month of constant tug of war with it, Mo Wuji knew that this was a decent magic treasure called the Life Draining Spikez Once it was removed from his body, Mo Wuji felt a refreshing feeling all over, as though as all of the pressure on his body had been relieved. Impressive. Mo Wuji thought to himself as he held the Life Draining Spike in his hand. The person that forged this was definitely a top notch master smith. The moment he thought of master smiths, Master Pu Zi came to mind. Immediately, he stood up and swept outwards with his spiritual will. "Brother Mo, you''ve recovered?" The flying ship belonged to Ku Ya, hence she could instantly sense it when Mo Wuji stood up. "Yes¡­" While Mo Wuji spoke, he stepped out of the cabin. "Sect Head, thank you for saving me. Joining Tian Ji Sect has been the best decision of my life." Once Mo Wuji showed himself, Abacus quickly went forward to thank him. Abacus¡¯ face was rosy red, and immortal elemental energy surrounded his body, a clear sign that his injuries were almost all gone. "Abacus, you¡¯re almost well too?" Mo Wuji asked surprisingly. He knew that Abacus¡¯ cultivation had been destroyed, so he was planning to see whether Abacus could cultivate using meridians like himself, if his spirit channels could not be repaired. Abacus soon clarified, "It¡¯s Ku Ya who helped me. She found a Sky Channel Fruit in an immortal estate and gave it to me. I used it to repair my spirit channels." Mo Wuji stared at Ku Ya, but he didn¡¯t say a single word of gratitude, believing that she could understand his feelings. Since Abacus risked his life to rescue Lou Chuanhe, he was someone worth saving. So since Ku Ya could produce a Sky Channel Fruit, how could Mo Wuji not feel thankful towards her. Everyone knew how valuable a Sky Channel Fruit was. It was a gradeless spiritual ingredient like the Sky Channel Flower. Such spiritual ingredients would sometimes outclass immortal ones. This was because gradeless ingredients had the same effect for both immortals and mortals. Moreover, Sky Channel Fruit came from Sky Channel Flower, and Sky Channel Flower was extremely difficult to obtain from the cultivation realm. It was the best herb to use for building spirit channels. However not ever a single Sky Channel Fruit would be produced from a hundred Sky Channel Flower, which is the reason why Sky Channel Fruit was the truly scarce treasure here. The only use for Sky Channel Fruit was to repair spirit channels. No matter how damaged your spirit channels were, as long as they were not disintegrated to nothing, the Sky Channel Fruit would be able to repair them. "Brother Mo, we¡¯re reach the cave that I found if we continue heading this way. I intend to bring everyone there to cultivate for a period of time, and we¡¯ll see what we should do after condensing our immortal lattices." Ku Ya took the initiative to explain. Nodding his head, Mo Wuji understood what Ku Ya meant. He had so many immortal lattice stone on him, so it was natural for him to distribute it out for everyone to condense their immortal lattices. In fact, this suggestion should have come from his mouth, but since Ku Ya brought it up, it meant that everyone had grown much closer than before. To the level that no one would feel embarrassed to use Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal lattice stone to condense his/her immortal lattice. Not only was Ku Ya¡¯s IQ high, her EQ was right up there too. "That¡¯s good. We¡¯ll discuss about this further after Ku Ya brings us deeper into the immortal estate. This is the Life Draining Spike that the Golden Immortal ambushed me with. It¡¯s very impressive, and can absorb one¡¯s vitality and suppress immortal elemental energy and spiritual will. I¡¯m not accustomed to using such a magic treasure, so you should take it." The kind of battle that Mo Wuji liked was those that had an explosive start and end, hence such a thin needle that had a tinge of yin energy definitely did not suit his style. "Thank you Brother Mo." Ku Ya did not turn down Mo Wuji¡¯s goodwill, graciously accepting the Life Draining Spike that he passed to her. "Isn¡¯t this a large river?" Mo Wuji commented as he gazed upon the endless river that lay in front of him, contemplating the possibility that the immortal estate was located deep inside it. As she drew out a pearl the size of her fist, Ku Ya explained, "The immortal estate I obtained is at the bottom of the river. When Abacus and I first arrived at the Corner of Yong Ying, I felt something calling out to me. That calling brought me here alone to find my inheritance. After I split with Abacus and came here, I obtained a Water Dispelling Pearl which led me to the riverbed where I found the immortal estate." A Water Dispelling Pearl. Mo Wuji had obtained one before too, but it was not nearly as large as Ku Ya¡¯s. Its spirituality was nowhere as great as Ku Ya¡¯s either. "Ku Ya, lead the way, we¡¯ll take a look inside." Mo Wuji said without any hesitation. Taking out her Water Dispelling Pearl, Ku Ya stood at the bow of the flying ship as it charged into the river. The river seemed to be obstructed by some unknown force and automatically separated into two sides. Not a single drop of water touched the flying ship while it charged straight into the depths of the river. "This river is the Lifeless River. Based on some information on a jade letter I inherited, this river is actually linked to the Immortal Word. However, even after I searched for a long time, I never managed to find the path to the Immortal World. I¡¯m afraid that we still have to use the immortal seeking staircase." Ku Ya explained as she steered the flying ship ahead. Never before had Mo Wuji seen such a deep river. With their current speed, they had not reached the riverbed even after two hours. Another half a day passed by, and Ku Ya¡¯s flying ship passed through a wavy veil before it came to a halt. "We¡¯re here. This is the immortal estate I inherited." Ku Ya was the first to disembark the flying ship. Everyone else followed behind her, and was immediately shocked by the scene before them. One might call this place a golden estate instead of an immortal estate. Even the large round doors of the estate was gold in colour, and the outer walls were the same too, giving the whole place an aura of nobility. "After I obtained my inheritance in the immortal estate, I found out that this place was left behind by an ancestor of the Ku clan. Those with the Ku clan blood flowing in them can enter the immortal estate. The Ku clan has not produced an Earthly Immortal for a very long time, and the only reason I could come to the Corner of Yong Ying was due to clan head¡¯s efforts, otherwise I would not have been able to obtain this inheritance." Ku Ya¡¯s voice was filled with gratitude, also calling Mo Wuji ¡®clan head¡¯ for the first time. As she spoke, Ku Ya had brought everyone into the immortal estate. A large hall tens of meters in radius awaited them beyond the golden round doors. A few golden pillars with carvings depicting various immortal beasts stood in hall, giving the whole hall an additional sense of spirituality. After Mo Wuji was aware that this was the inheritance of the Ku clan, he did not intend to touch anything in it anymore, instead saying, "Everyone find a room to condense your immortal lattice. Once we¡¯ve lal done, we¡¯ll prepare to enter the Immortal World. Although it is safe for us to remain in the Corner of Yong Ying, but we can¡¯t raise out strength any further." When he finished speaking, Mo Wuji took out a few rings before continuing, "Each of these rings have two million immortal lattice stones in them, and some high grade immortal crystals together with a few immortal equipment. After everyone refines them, they will belong to you." Lou Chuanhe suddenly spoke remorsefully, "Brother Mo, I was not able to secure the Immortal Traversing Ship." "These can wait, condense your immortal lattice first." Mo Wuji spoke. Even though he had many questions, he knew that this was not the best time to ask them. The others probably did not have any questions of their own, so the top priority was for everyone to consolidate their immortal lattice first. Everything else could wait. Chapter 480: Too Impressive Chapter 480: Too Impressive Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Besides Mo Wuji, everyone else was condensing their immortal lattice. Han Qingru had already condensed her immortal lattice, so she was cultivating that wood-type skill that she purchased. Ku Ya had passed the Water Dispelling Pearl to Mo Wuji; so Mo Wuji started examining this immortal estate. There were some rooms in the immortal estate which could not be opened. But since this immortal estate was left behind by Ku Ya''s ancestor, Mo Wuji naturally didn''t try to pry around. A few days later, Mo Wuji left a jade letter behind and left the immortal estate. He was sure that even if there was a path from the Lifeless River to the Immortal World, it wouldn¡¯t be related to this immortal estate. Thus, he was prepared to search within the Lifeless River for that path. It was pitch silent within the Lifeless River; Mo Wuji was unable to sense any other forms of life within the river, not even a fish or a shrimp. There was only deadly silence within the Lifeless River. Mo Wuji only cared about searching for the path to the Immortal World, so he didn¡¯t really care about the fact that there was no other forms of life. At the beginning, Mo Wuji was still searching around the proximities of the immortal estate. As a month passed, Mo Wuji started to gradually move away from the immortal estate. ¡­ Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Among the seven immortal domains in the Immortal World, Yong Ying Immortal Domain was ranked the lowest; it was also the weakest. Water Ying Immortal City; it was an ordinary immortal city within Yong Ying Immortal Domain. There was no need to compare it to the immortal cities of the other immortal domains, even within Yong Ying Immortal Domain itself, Water Ying Immortal City below average. In terms of grades, Water Ying Immortal City was a low-grade immortal city. At this moment, within Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s castellan mansion, a middle-aged man in scholar robes was sitting on an immortal fragrant wood chair; he was frowning as he sat unmoving. A woman with pretty facial features walked into the room. She carefully walked to the side of the scholar and sat down, she whispered, "Wen Hou, if it¡¯s really impossible, then our Water Ying Immortal City should just give up on this opportunity." This middle-aged man was the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, Wen Hou. Wen Hou¡¯s name was rather unique; not only was his name Wen Hou, his title was also Wen Hou. (Hou = Marquis. Hence, Wen Hou = Marquis Wen.) Wen Hou came back from his deep thoughts; he held the pretty woman¡¯s hand, sighed, and said in a gentle voice, "Qianling, I have also thought of giving up. But if I abandon this opportunity, then our Water Ying Immortal City might never have to chance to advance into a high-grade immortal city ever again. This time, the Heavenly Emperor will be opening the Immortal Valley. This might even be the only chance that our Water Ying Immortal City has. Thus, our Water Ying Immortal City must take part in this alchemy competition, and we must obtain the top 50 in order to have some chance." By his side, the pretty woman sighed and went silent. She knew that her husband was right. If Water Ying Immortal City didn¡¯t have a good opportunity, it might not even retain its position as a low grade immortal city; it wasn¡¯t impossible for it to be reduced to become a subsidiary immortal city. If it actually becomes a subsidiary city, then his position as a castellan would be powerless, and it would become much more difficult for them to raise their cultivation. "Lord Castellan, Pill King Tan has returned." A soldier in immortal armour suddenly appeared at the entrance of the castellan mansion. After he bowed and made his report, he immediately went back to the side. When the melancholic Wen Hou heard that sentence, he immediately stood up and said with agitation, "Quickly, invite Pill King Tan¡­" "Brother Wen, because of some private affairs, Tan Liang is late. I¡¯ve made Brother Wen wait." A tall but thin man appeared at the entrance of the castellan mansion. Wen Hou chuckled, he had already left his seat. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Tan Liang¡¯s hands and said, "Brother Tan, I, Wen Hou, will engrave your actions in my heart. I will never forget this favour of yours." The woman, who was sitting by the side, had also stood up. She bowed towards Tan Liang. After hurriedly returning the courtesies, Tan Liang sighed and said, "Brother Wen, in this coming competition, there¡¯s as many competitors as there are hairs on a cow, and several big immortal cities have sent out top grade pill kings to compete for them. I¡¯m merely a Tier 4 Pill King; I¡¯m afraid that my abilities might not make the cut, and I may hinder Brother Wen¡¯s plans." Wen Hou sighed, "How can I not know of what Brother Tan is saying? However, I don¡¯t have any other options. Among the people I know, Brother Tan is the best when it comes to the Pill Dao. If Brother Tan is also unable to help me, then it would simply mean that I¡¯m never meant to get that fortune." Tan Liang nodded; he understood the meaning behind Wen Hou¡¯s words. Indeed, he had come here to help Wen Hou on account of their friendship. In reality, as a Tier 4 Pill King, he would be an esteemed guest no matter which immortal city he went to. "Brother Hou, in this alchemy competition, we will not only be competing in pills, but drugs as well. I would need two able drug assistants. Otherwise, the chances of me winning would be lower." Tan Liang spared the courtesies; Wen Hou and him had been friends for hundreds of years, there was no need to beat around the bush. Wen Hou hurriedly said, "Follow me to the alchemy lab then Brother Tan. Even though I don¡¯t have any exceptional pill refiners here, I do have some pill refiners that can also refine drugs. I will have them refine drugs, then Brother Tan can make your choice." "Alright." Tan Liang wasn¡¯t courteous. Right from the start, he was here to help Wen Hou. Even though Wen Hou didn¡¯t treat him badly, but as a Tier 4 Pill King, no one would treat him badly regardless of what immortal city he went to. ¡­ Even though Water Ying Immortal City was a low grade immortal city, its alchemy lab was grand and luxurious. There were imposing rows of earth fire furnaces and the immortal spiritual energy here was rich. To concoct pills here, even those who were weaker would be able to have higher success rates. Ten pill refiners were in the alchemy lab concocting pills. Even though the highest grade pill refiner here was a mere Tier 3 Pill Monarch, they all had a pretty maidservant by their sides. These maidservants were awaiting orders; as long as these pill monarchs instructed, they would immediately attend to the task. Seeing Wen Hou and Tan Liang enter, all the pill refiners stood up. Wen Hou waved his hands and said, "Everyone, continue with your pill refinement, there¡¯s no need to care about us. If your pill refinement or drug refinement catches Pill King Tan¡¯s eyes, you would have the opportunity to represent our Water Ying Immortal City for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition." After hearing the castellan¡¯s words, all the pill refiners went excited. Who didn¡¯t know of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition? Moreover, they were pill refiners. Being able to represent Water Ying Immortal City in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition was not only a peerless honour, it was also an invaluable opportunity. Even if they didn¡¯t win anything, being able to watch great pill kings concoct pills was something that they would rarely get in their lifetimes. If they would be able to get ranked, then the reward would be the greatest fortune that they had in their entire lives. Thus, after Wen Hou uttered those words, all the pill refiners here started to place their full concentrations in their pill refinement. Almost every single pill refiner was concocting their best pills. Tan Liang¡¯s gaze swept from the first pill refiner to the last pill refiner; it was hard to conceal the disappointment in his eyes. Even though some of these people were able to concoct Tier 3 immortal pills, there were still lacking if they wanted to participate in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition. When Wen Hou saw the disappointment in Tan Liang¡¯s eyes, he was also filled with helplessness. There were truly too little pill refiners, and the impressive pill refiners weren¡¯t willing to stay in a place like Water Ying Immortal City. "Eh!" Tan Liang suddenly exclaimed softly. By Tan Liang¡¯s side, Wen Hou immediately rejoiced. Just when he was about to ask Tan Liang which pill refiner caught his eye, he saw Tan Liang walk quickly to the corner of the alchemy lab. Then, he saw Tan Liang pick up a pill furnace. Even Wen Hou could tell that Tan Liang had merely picked up a Grade 1 immortal pill furnace. The value of this pill furnace was extremely low. Even though it was also in the alchemy lab, no pill refiner was willing to use this low grade pill furnace. "Impressive, too impressive¡­ He was actually able to refine a 100% purity medicinal solution. Too strong, too strong¡­" As Tan Liang grabbed this Grade 1 immortal pill furnace, he continuously muttered to himself. The excitement in his eyes couldn¡¯t be concealed; even he was unable to purify a Tier 9 spiritual herb and refine a 100% purity medicinal solution. Chapter 481: The Mentally Confused Immortal Pill King Chapter 481: The Mentally Confused Immortal Pill King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wen Hou asked in pleasant surprise, "Brother Tan, someone really managed to refine a 100% purity medicinal solution?" Tan Liang nodded, "The residual fluids within this pill furnace is definitely of 100% purity. Of course, no matter what tier a pill refiner is, it is definitely impossible to purify a herb and leave it completely free from dregs. But to a pill refiner, as long as the medicinal solution exceeds 99% purity, it would be deemed as 100% purity. My skill in alchemy is limited, I¡¯m unable to judge the exact purity of the medicinal solution that was in this pill furnace. But from the dregs that were left behind, I can tell that the medicinal solution¡¯s purity has definitely exceeded 99%, and it is infinitesimally close to reaching 100%. I don¡¯t know this person¡¯s ability with pills, but based on his skills in drug refining, he is enough to be my master." Wen Hou¡¯s mouth went agape; only after some time did he speak."Brother Tan, you¡¯re too modest, you¡¯re a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King." Tan Liang shook his head, "Brother Wen, I¡¯m not talking nonsense. The reason why I said that has many reason. For one, this person merely used a Grade 1 pill furnace. Secondly, this person had used an ordinary fire in his purification; he did not even use earth fire. There¡¯s no need to talk about me, even a Tier 6 Pill King might not be able to purify and extract medicinal solutions of such a high purity. Since this person was able to produce medicinal solutions of such high quality, the pills concocted would definitely be top grade pills. No other pills of the same tier could compare to it." "Wen Tian, quickly, find out who used this pill furnace and tell me," Wen Hou could no longer hold in his emotions as he cried out with urgency. A middle-aged man heard these words and he hurriedly bowed and said, "These pill furnaces were purchased by Qian Shan under the little miss¡¯s orders. Recently, the little miss has also been searching for expert pill and drug refiners." This middle-aged man was the manager of the castellan¡¯s alchemy lab, Manager Wen Tian. Wen Hou¡¯s expression immediately went warm; he knew why his daughter did such things. It must have been because she saw his constant worry-stricken face, and wanted to quell his concerns. He spoke in a gentle tone, "Get the little girl and Qian Shan over then." "Yes." After a quick response, Wen Tian hurriedly left the alchemy lab. Seeing that Tan Liang was still examining the pill furnace excitedly, Wen Hou asked with a bit of uncertainty, "Brother Tan, is this person¡¯s purification of medicinal herbs so impressive?" Tan Liang uttered a long sigh, "Perhaps, he might be even more impressive than I imagined.. Brother Wen, if you can find this person to represent you, even if he¡¯s unable to concoct high tiered immortal pills, just based on his purification of medicinal herbs, he would definitely be able to earn a ranked spot. Brother Wen has never tried pill refining, so you naturally don¡¯t know how hard it is to improve when it comes to purification." As he said this, Tan Liang paused momentarily. Then, he said, "Let me make an analogy. If a person is able to purify a spiritual herb to 90%, then for him to reach 91%, he would need an additional fold of effort. Moreover, his understanding towards the herb must also increase by at least a fold. Following this logic, do you know how difficult it is to attain 99% purity? Moreover, the residual fluids here all exceed 99%. If this person isn''t a supreme genius, then he must be an avant-garde pioneer of a new alchemic method." As a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King, Tan Liang was experienced and knowledgeable. Mo Wuji''s skills with alchemy came from the wordless pill manual, but ever since he created his reverse Immortal Mortal Technique, his alchemy had also been modeled after his own self; it was no longer related to the wordless pill manual. His alchemy was independent and it matched his cultivation technique. What it aimed for was for a medicinal solution at 100% purity, not merely something that was infinitesimally close. Wen Hou inhaled a breath of cold air; he completely understood the meaning behind Tan Liang''s words. Using a Grade 1 pill furnace, coupled with an ordinary flame, this fella was still able to refine a 100% purity medicinal solution. Clearly, this fella was heaven defying. At this moment, he was resolute; no matter who this person was, he would spare no expense to invite this person to Water Ying Immortal City. "Dad, you''re looking for me? Mom is here too." A girl in a violet dress walked in, a middle-aged attendant followed behind her. This girl was the one who was previously prepared to invite Mo Wuji to help concoct pills - Wen Lianxi. It was just that she didn''t have a veil over her face today. Her beautiful features were no less than Han Qingru''s; her posture and grace demonstrated her noble upbringing. A warm expression emerged on both Wen Hou and his wife¡¯s face; this was their daughter. Even though they weren''t able to have a son, this daughter of theirs was enough to make them proud. Not only was Wen Lianxi¡¯s beauty the top in the entire Water Ying Immortal City, it was also hard to find anyone prettier than her in the entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Most importantly, Wen Lianxi''s talent was exceptional. Not only was her cultivation far superior than others of her age, she was also unmatched when it came to the four arts. [1] "Lianxi, I heard that you were looking for some pill refiners recently?" Wen Hou''s tone was genial; he didn''t immediately ask his daughter about the pill furnace. Wen Lianxi said softly, "Yes, dad. Two years ago, I went to Lu Jie Immortal City for a gathering. Suddenly, a pill king whose mind was slightly delirious appeared in Lu Jie Immortal City. Someone had him concoct pills on the spot and he was actually able to concoct Tier 5 immortal pill. Moreover, they were all at the unique-grade. Many people estimate that he was at least a Tier 6 Pill King. During the gathering, there were ten over young castellans from the various immortal cities, and there were also some ladies that had the same status as me. Because this was a Tier 6 Pill King, coupled with the fact that the Grand Alchemy Competition was coming soon, everyone wanted to bring this mentally unstable pill king away. Eventually, the young castellan of Lu Jie Immortal City proposed an idea; before the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition, a small scale pill competition would be organised. Whoever was able to get first place, would bring that Tier 6 Pill King away. Moreover, the competitor must be a newbie, someone that no one else knew. The reason why I didn¡¯t tell Dad of this matter, was because I knew that my chances were very slim." Wen Hou and Tan Liang both exhaled a breath of cold air. A person that was able to concoct unique-grade Tier 5 immortal pills might not necessarily be a Tier 6 Pill King, he could even be a pill emperor. "Then where¡¯s that pill king?" Wen Hou seemed to forget the reason why he called his daughter over. Wen Lianxi answered, "That pill king is now in an immortal estate outside of Lu Jie Immortal City. That immortal estate has 23 array flags; everyone that was present at that gathering has one array flag. When the time comes, all 23 of us need to gather and bring out out array flags. Only then, would the immortal estate be opened." "Let me see the array flag," Wen Hou said urgently. Wen Lianxi brought out a dark red array flag and passed it to Wen Hou. After examining the array flag, he said to Tan Liang, "Brother Tan, this is a blood seal array flag. Indeed, all the array flags must be gathered before the immortal estate can be opened. If anyone tried to forcefully open the immortal estate, it might even cause the space to collapse. The person who installed this blood seal array is an impressive array master." Tan Liang nodded, "That is indeed the case. However, Lu Jie Immortal City is a high grade immortal city. Even if Lianxi is able to achieve victory, it might be very hard to bring that pill king away." The meaning implied in Tan Liang¡¯s words was very clear: this suggestion by the young castellan of Lu Jie Immortal City was a mere pretext. He simply didn¡¯t want to be too tyrannical and overbearing with his actions. Wen Hou reacted. He didn''t call his daughter here to ask about that pill king. He passed the array flag back to his daughter, then asked with slight excitement, "Lianxi, there''s a pill furnace here. Wen Tian told me that you were the one who brought it here. Where did you get it from?" Tan Liang had already handed the pill furnace in his hands to Wen Lianxi. Wen Lianxi grabbed the pill furnace, glanced at it, then muttered in doubt, "I bought this pill furnace from our own Water Ying Immortal City. Then, I purchased two Grade 1 pill furnaces, one Grade 2 pill furnace and one Grade 3 pill furnace. Why?" "That''s impossible. Before the pill furnace was sold, why wasn''t it cleaned?" Tan Liang frowned. Wen Lianxi finally understood; she explained, "I gave this pill furnace to someone before. During that time, I was urgently looking for pill refiners, so I was scammed by him. When I got back, I wasn''t in a good mood, so I had Qian Shan throw the pill furnace in the alchemy lab." [1] The four arts are: the lyre, chess, calligraphy and painting. Chapter 482: I Had One Chance Chapter 482: I Had One Chance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Lianxi, where''s that pill king¡­" Even Wen Hou could feel his voice trembling; he was too excited. He never imagined that his daughter was the one to discover that pill king, and she even got him to concoct a batch of pills. "Pill king?" Wen Lianxi looked at her father in doubt. Thereafter, she shook her head and said, "Dad, he is no pill king, he''s merely a pitiable person. That time, just so that he could survive, he lied that he was a pill refiner. In the end, I believed him, so I helper him. Afterwards, he told me that he had not concocted pills for a long time, so his standards had fallen. So he continued to scam me and asked me for some spiritual herbs and immortal herbs to help him recover his standards. An entire day passed, but he was unable to even concoct a single batch of pills." "Where is he?" This time, the one asking with anxiety was Tan Liang. He was experienced with alchemy, he naturally knew the reason why there wasn''t even a batch of pills. It was because that person wasn''t even concocting pills, he was purifying herbs. "Eventually, I left him. Before I left, I had Qian Shan take back the storage ring that I gave him¡­" As Wen Lianxi replied, she was filled with confusion; why were they so interested in a pill refiner that couldn''t even concoct a batch of pills? "You¡­" Tan Liang wanted to scold Wen Lianxi, however, he immediately knew that it was not his place to scold Wen Lianxi. He promptly changed his tone, "Niece Lianxi, hurry and get him back. This person''s skill in the Dao of Alchemy is no simple matter. If you can invite him back, during the Yong Ying Domain Grand Alchemy Competition that will take place ten years later, Water Ying Immortal City would have a huge chance of obtaining a ranked placing." Wen Hou added, "Right, daughter, where''s that pill refiner from? Hurry and invite him back. Alternatively, you can tell me where he is, I will personally invite him myself." "Ah¡­" Wen Lianxi stared at her father and Pill King Tan in confusion, she was completely unable to understand what they were saying. Mo Wuji was merely an Earthly Immortal, and it was highly likely that he had snuck in from Half Immortal Domain. When she first saw him, some of his spirit channels were broken. He¡¯s actually so impressive? Wen Hou sighed, "Daughter, you really misjudged him. That pill refiner, no, it should be pill king, is an exceptional expert. Do you know what''s the level of purity of the residual solution we found in his pill furnace? 100%! Even your Uncle Tan isn''t able to purify spiritual herbs to such a degree. Clearly, this person is at least a pill king, and an expert that has hidden methods when it comes to alchemy. If we can invite this person to compete together with your Uncle Tan, how could our Water Ying Immortal City not be able to win a placing?" After another "Ah¡­", the scene of when she met Mo Wuji appeared in Wen Lianxi''s mind. "Previously, I was able to concoct Tier 9 Heavenly Spiritual Pills. Because of my broken spirit channels, I wasn''t able to concoct this sort of heavenly spiritual pills for a long time. I believe that as long as you are able to provide me with enough spiritual herbs, and wait for me to re-attune myself, I will be able to concoct Tier 9 Heavenly Spiritual Pills. "Dao Friend Mo, can you tell me, how long did it take for you to become a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner since you started learning about pills?" "Approximately two to three years." "If I gave you another ten years would you be able to advance from a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner to a Tier 3 Pill Monarch? I now I am rushing it, and ten years is too short¡­" "If I have plenty of herbs and plenty of immortal crystals, I''m sure that I will be able to achieve that. However, the condition is that you need to give me a simple pill manual. It would also be good if you give me some immortal pills as a reference." ¡­ As she thought of that conversation, Wen Lianxi suddenly said, "I understand." Wen Hou hurriedly asked, "Lianxi, what do you understand?" "Uncle Tan, do you think it''s possible for a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner to reach the Tier 3 Immortal Pill Monarch level in ten years?" Instead of answering, Wen Lianxi asked Tan Liang a question. Tan Liang shook his head, "I believe that''s not impossible. Even if it''s possible, it''s as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn, and that person would definitely be the most exceptional genius when it comes to alchemy. Advancing from Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner to Tier 3 Immortal Pill Monarch in ten years is not simple even for geniuses." When Wen Lianxi heard those words, she said to Wen Hou with an apologetic tone in her voice, "Father, I have indeed met an alchemy expert. During that time, he claimed that he was a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner, but from the looks of it, he should be far above the Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Refiner level. He might even be a Tier 3 Immortal Pill Monarch¡­" With some regret, Wen Lianxi explained her meeting with Mo Wuji. She did not hide the matter of her sending Mo Wuji to Hundred Flowers Manor. At this instant, no one could understand the emotions in her heart. Ever since she was young, she had received a good upbringing and education. Moreover, she told herself not to underestimate anyone; even if the person looked completely ordinary, she would still give him a chance. However, she had a chance right in front of her, but she threw it away. This was a huge mistake; she had let a great pill refiner slip away right in front of her eyes. Perhaps she had viewed Mo Wuji¡¯s thick skin with contempt, but Mo Wuji was also rather peculiar. In a field that he knew nothing much about, he actually made such a hasty conclusion. Now, in Wen Lianxi¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji was definitely not an Earthly Immortal. Mo Wuji must have offended someone, and coupled with his broken spirit channels, he decided to conceal his cultivation. If he concealed his cultivation, he would naturally conceal his skills in alchemy. The reason why he said that he said that he could slowly advance to Tier 3 Pill Monarch, was probably because he wanted to test her character. If her character was lacking, he would sneak away eventually. "Lianxi, hurry and bring him back from Hundred Flowers Manor." Wen Lianxi¡¯s mother instructed anxiously; more than anyone else, she knew the importance this Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition was to her husband. Wen Lianxi¡¯s eyes had turned slightly red. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "After I came back from Yong Ying Thrush Mountain, I heard news of an unforeseen situation in Hundred Flowers Manor. The Hundred Flowers Manor Lord had suddenly disappeared, and it is unknown whether that Mo Wuji had been killed during that mess." "..." When they heard Wen Lianxi¡¯s words, everyone glanced towards one another. Opportunity had presented itself, but they had unknowingly lost it. "Sorry, father. I was wrong¡­" When Wen Lianxi saw the look of depression on her father¡¯s face, she felt an indescribably ache in her heart. Originally, she wanted to help her father with his worries. Unknowingly, not only didn¡¯t she help him, she had only made him feel worse. Wen Hou waved his hand, "You can¡¯t be blamed. You can leave first." "Yes." As Wen Lianxi left, she was constantly thinking of how she could find Mo Wuji again. "Qian Shan, tell me, if we were to go back to the Corner of Yong Ying now, do you think we can find that pill refiner called Mo Wuji?" After leaving the alchemy lab, Wen Lianxi immediately asked. Qian Shan shook his head, "Little miss, I feel that it¡¯s better if we do not go. There¡¯s no need to talk about the incident at Hundred Flowers Manor, it¡¯s unknown whether that Mo Wuji was still alive. Even if Mo Wuji is still living, the Corner of Yong Ying is so huge, how are we going to find him? Moreover, there¡¯s another huge incident that took place in the Corner of Yong Ying recently." "What incident?" Wen Lianxi asked urgently. Qian Shan whispered, "It¡¯s said that a fierce person has appeared in the Corner of Yong Ying, and that person was from Half Immortal Domain. Because his friend had been captured in Ying Bian City, he went into a fury. As a result, he brought two of his friends straight to Ying Bian City. Now only did he kill four Golden Immortals, he even killed Ying Bian City¡¯s Castellan Luo Yun." "He¡¯s so strong? Could he be a Golden Immortal?" Wen Lianxi asked in surprise. Qian Shan shook his head, "It wouldn¡¯t be such a huge story if he was a Golden Immortal, even though Golden Immortals would be suppressed by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. But with his cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Stage, he was able to kill Golden Immortals. Not only that, he even destroyed the transfer array from the Corner of Yong Ying to the Immortal World. Now, Yong Ying Immortal Domain is creating a path to the Corner of Yong Ying, to catch and kill this man." Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t ask any further. Suddenly, she recalled that Mo Wuji said that he was from Half Immortal Domain. Could he be that fierce man? No, that¡¯s not possible. It was highly unlikely that Mo Wuji was from Half Immortal Domain, otherwise, how could his skill in alchemy be so strong? Chapter 483: The Immortal Seeking Staircase At The Bottom Of The Lifeless River Chapter 483: The Immortal Seeking Staircase At The Bottom Of The Lifeless River Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji naturally didn''t know of the thoughts running through Wen Lianxi''s mind. At this moment, he was sitting in front of a pitch black whirlpool. This was the sixth month that he started searching the depths of the Lifeless River. It was entirely due to coincidence that he managed to find this place. It was because he saw a piece of Brilliant Curved Space Gold in the vicinity. The Brilliant Curved Space Gold is a smithing material that could forge space-type treasures; not only could it forge a storage ring, it could even create a pocket dimension. Logically, Brilliant Curved Space Gold should not appear within the Lifeless River. Thus, after Mo Wuji spotted the piece of Brilliant Curved Space Gold, he immediately started searching the area. As a result, he managed to find this black whirlpool. The black whirlpool seemed to be entirely made of a sea of ash; his spiritual will was completely unable to penetrate through it. The moment Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will in, it would be bombarded and grinded away by this black whirlpool. Even Mo Wuji didn''t dare to enter this whirlpool. Instead, he used this whirlpool to temper his spiritual will. He found that every time his spiritual will got grinded by this whirlpool, when it gets recovered, it would be slightly tougher. Mo Wuji soon discovered that this black whirlpool wasn''t constantly present; the whirlpool would only appear once in a day, and for undetermined periods of time. Sometimes, it might come appear for an entire incense¡¯s time. On other instances, it only appeared for ten breaths. However, this did not affect his intentions of using the whirlpool to temper his spiritual will; after all, both his Domain Crushing Fist and Spatial Imprisonment had high requirements of his spiritual will. If his spiritual will got stronger, his Domain Crushing Fist would also naturally become more powerful. He managed to find such a place to temper his spiritual will after much difficulty; so how could Mo Wuji simply give it up? As he continued to temper his spiritual will here, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had actually reached a point where it could slightly feel the energy within the black whirlpool. That energy seemed to be like the vast Dao revolving and circling. Even though Mo Wuji wasn''t cultivating, he could feel his cultivation level rising. At this instant, the black whirlpool was rotating and revolving faster and faster. From his experience, Mo Wuji knew that the faster the whirlpool, the more benefits it would have for his spiritual will. "Boom!" Mo Wuji''s spiritual will penetrated into the whirlpool. A violent and terrifying force came surging over; Mo Wuji felt as though his sea of consciousness was tearing apart as it emitted tremors and roars. The intense ache inundated his entire consciousness and his Mind Palace. Mo Wuji had already experienced this situation umpteen times. He didn''t make a single move and simply let his spiritual will move freely in the whirlpool. Experience has taught Mo Wuji that the greater pressure and pain he felt with his spiritual will, the more beneficial it will be. At the very beginning, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will would immediately be devoured the moment it enters this black whirlpool. But now, his spiritual will could stay in this whirlpool for up to half an incense of time. Following the gradual depletion of his spiritual will, the ache on his sea of consciousness continued to increase. However, he also knew that this round of whirlpool would be ending soon. He would recover for one day, then continue the same thing tomorrow. Just at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed in Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness; Mo Wuji immediately felt as though he was an ant beneath the feet of giants. There vast and suffocating pressure caused Mo Wuji to feel as though his entire soul was trembling. Within that gold light, there seemed to be faint steps. Those steps seemed to head towards somewhere, but Mo Wuji could only feel a blur. Just when Mo Wuji wanted to take a look at these steps, that black whirlpool vanished without a trace; those gold steps also disappeared completely. Could this be the Immortal Seeking Staircase concealed within the Lifeless River? Mo Wuji suddenly stood up; he had never seen the Immortal Seeking Staircase before but he could faintly feel that this was the real Immortal Seeking. It was likely that Ku Ya''s words were true; there was truly a path to the Immortal World hidden in the depths of the Lifeless River. Mo Wuji spent some time examining the area; he suspected that there was an extremely high grade concealment array here, to the extent where he wasn''t able to detect it. Mo Wuji decided that when the whirlpool reappears again the next day, he would go in and take a look, to discern whether it was truly the Immortal Seeking Staircase. One day passed in a flash; the black whirlpool emerged once again. Mo Wuji brought out a Grade 2 immortal shield, and charged straight into this black whirlpool. He had been around this whirlpool for a month; he believed that it should not be able to take his life. The moment he entered this black whirlpool, Mo Wuji immediately felt a strong centrifugal force around him. Even though he had tempered his spiritual will in this whirlpool for a month, he was still unable to control the immortal shield in his hands. That immortal shield was swiftly swept away by the strong force of the whirlpool; even the spiritual will imprint that he left on the shield had been eroded by the whirlpool. "Bang!" While Mo Wuji was roiled in worry, he actually landed on the ground. Beneath his feet was black coloured sand. The whirlpool was right behind him. Mo Wuji guessed that he had just emerged from the other side of the whirlpool. 10 to 15 meters in front of him, there was a flight of steps that seemed to extend upwards; the top of the staircase was shrouded by mist. This staircase was gold in colour; it was similar to the gold immortal estate left behind by Ku Ya''s ancestor. Mo Wuji tried sending his spiritual will towards the staircase. It was only a single instant, before the spiritual will got slapped away by some intangible force. "This should be the Immortal Seeking Staircase," Mo Wuji thought to himself. Mo Wuji didn''t try scaling the Immortal Seeking Staircase, he decided that he would return first. ¡­ "Brother Tong, I didn''t expect that you would be faster than me." Abacus came out from the his room in the immortal estate; the first person he saw Tong Ye. The immortal aura around Tong Ye was distinct, and he seemed to be brimming with dao ripples. This was clearly the outcome of a fully condensed immortal lattice. "I was only earlier than you by a few days. From the looks of it, your immortal lattice is sturdier than mine," Tong Ye laughed. He understood that the more immortal lattice stones used to condense the immortal lattice, the sturdier the immortal lattice would be. "The sect head isn''t here?" Abacus also guessed that his immortal lattice was more condensed as compared to Tong Ye''s. "The sect head should have gone to search for the path to the Immortal World." Ku Ya''s voice could be heard, following which, she walked out of her room. The immortal aura around her was firm, ostensibly, she had also condensed the perfect immortal lattice. "It''s still unknown whether the rumor about the path from the Lifeless River to the Immortal World is true. Now that we have all condensed our immortal lattice, we should directly use the Immortal Seeking Staircase," Tong Ye said in an offhand manner. Ku Ya shook her head, "We''ve caused such a huge ruckus in Ying Bian City; we destroyed the transfer array from Ying Bian City to the Immortal World, and we even killed a few Golden Immortals. The Immortal World naturally wouldn''t let us off. Moreover, Yong Ying Immortal Domain has always been guarded against the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain, it could even be said that they have an oppressive attitude. So the Immortal Seeking Staircase might not be safe for us. If they station someone at the Immortal Seeking Staircase, then we would only be throwing ourselves into a net by heading towards the Immortal Seeking Staircase." The moment Ku Ya finished speaking, a spatial ripple came from the space outside of the immortal estate. At the next instant, Mo Wuji''s figure appeared within the immortal estate. "Looks like everyone''s immortal lattice is very solid." Mo Wuji didn''t condense his immortal lattice but his judgement was not bad. The moment he saw Ku Ya and co., he knew that the three of them had condensed impressive immortal lattices. "Sect head, Ku Ya said that you went to search for the path to the Immortal World, how did it go?" Seeing Mo Wuji return, Tong Ye asked hurriedly. Mo Wuji nodded, "I should have found it. When the time comes, we can all take a look. Oh right, in the future, we should address each other by senior or junior brothers and sisters. Even though Tian Ji Sect has been established, we''re still senior or junior brothers and sisters. Senior brother Lou and Jia Qi haven''t condensed their immortal lattice?" "We¡¯re already done." Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi walked out together. Han Qingru also walked out behind the two of them. "Because Senior Brother Lou had to pass his Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, he was slower by a single step," Ku Ya explained by the side. "I believe that I have already found the Immortal Seeking Staircase within the Lifeless River. After everyone goes to the Immortal World, we need to take note of to cover our tracks. Even though I don¡¯t know why the Yong Ying Immortal Domain wants to deal with the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain, I know that we don¡¯t have the ability to go against them now. I will not be able to go to the Immortal World temporarily. Wait till I get to the Immortal World, I will contact everyone," Mo Wuji said, seeing that everyone had gathered. "Brother Mo, why can¡¯t you follow us to the Immortal World?" Jia Qi asked quizzically. Mo Wuji said with a hint of helplessness, "I believe there¡¯s a problem with my cultivation method. I¡¯m not able to condense my immortal lattice. But there¡¯s no need to worry, I believe that I will be able to solve this problem soon." After answering that question, Mo Wuji turned to Ku Ya and said, "Ku Ya, no one should know that we have come from Half Immortal Domain. But the fact is, not only do people know of me, they know of our Immortal-Traversing Ship, and even our large amounts of immortal lattice stones. I want to hear your opinion on this." Chapter 484: The Person Who Ku Ya Suspects Chapter 484: The Person Who Ku Ya Suspects Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ku Ya¡¯s eyes were filled with gratitude as she said, "Thanks for asking me this question." Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind Ku Ya¡¯s words; previously, when they went to save Lou Chuanhe, only Ku Ya and Master Pu Zi didn¡¯t go. Thus, Master Pu Zi and her were worthy of suspicion. However, Mo Wuji gave her immortal lattice stones, and even asked her that question. This demonstrated that he trusted her. "There¡¯s only our own people here, feel free to say whatever you want." Mo Wuji nodded towards Ku Ya, gesturing that there was no need for Ku Ya to worry. Mo Wuji also knew that if Ku Ya had joined them to save Lou Chuanhe, she wouldn¡¯t have been like Tong Ye and co., to have their tracks discovered as they were sneaking into Ying Bian City. With an "En", Ku Ya said, "I only knew that everyone had gotten into trouble after I left the Lifeless River. I started investigating on this matter, and at the same time, tried to find a chance to save Abacus and co. After I knew that only Master Pu Zi and I didn¡¯t go Ying Bian City, I started to suspect Master Pu Zi." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding. To be honest, he suspected Master Pu Zi the most. This was because Master Pu Zi wanted the Immortal-Traversing Ship, and Master Pu Zi also knew of their immortal lattice stones. Another thing was, Ku Ya had managed to find traces of him while he was in the Immortal Chasm. Master Pu Zi was better than Ku Ya when it came to both cultivation and experience, and he had control of the Immortal-Traversing Ship. Logically, Master Pu Zi should also have discovered him. Since Master Pu Zi would have noticed him, then his solo crossing of the Immortal Chasm would no longer be a secret. And the facts had shown, people do know that an Earthly Immortal from Half Immortal Domain had crossed the Immortal Chasm. However, following the meaning implied behind Ku Ya¡¯s words, it seemed like Master Pu Zi had not betrayed their team. "But then, I found that Master Pu Zi completely had no reason to betray our team. If he were to betray the team, his motive would solely be for the Immortal-Traversing Ship. However, during that time, the Immortal-Traversing Ship was in Senior Brother Lou¡¯s hands, and Senior Brother Lou had been imprisoned in Ying Bian City. Thus, if Master Pu Zi were to betray us, with his abilities, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to initiate a trade to get the Immortal-Traversing Ship¡­" Ku Ya didn¡¯t carry on speaking but Mo Wuji already knew her opinion. Ku Ya¡¯s deduction was logical. However, Mo Wuji believed that for a person like Master Pu Zi, he would definitely have ways to obtain the Immortal-Traversing Ship from Ying Bian City. However, Mo Wuji still wasn¡¯t sure whether it was Master Pu Zi, so he didn¡¯t say anything. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue speaking; the fact that the Immortal-Traversing Ship was with Lou Chuanhe was only known by this group of them. Moreover, when he obtained Luo Jun¡¯s storage ring, he didn¡¯t find the Immortal-Traversing Ship inside. Luo Jun¡¯s ring only had large amounts of immortal herbs, ores, and even a stack of high grade immortals. But it didn¡¯t have the Immortal-Traversing Ship. "Brother Kou Yuan died because of me. Whether this matter was because of Master Pu Zi or not, we will need to find out the truth eventually. If it was really him, I, Lou Chuanhe, would give it my all, to take revenge for Brother Kou Yuan." Lou Chuanhe was also suspicious of Master Pu Zi. Ku Ya hesitated slightly before saying, "We still don¡¯t know whether Brother Kou Yuan is dead or not¡­" Mo Wuji lifted his hand and interrupted Ku Ya¡¯s words, "Let¡¯s end this conversation for now. Everyone, follow me to the Immortal Seeking Staircase at the bottom of the Lifeless River. After we get to the Immortal World, we would be a bigger and new world. The most important thing we need to do is still to improve our personal power." Mo Wuji knew that Ku Ya was suspicious of Kou Yuan, but he believed that Kou Yuan definitely wasn¡¯t a traitor. Regardless of whether Kou Yuan was dead or not, Kou Yuan definitely wouldn¡¯t betray them. ¡­ Half a month later, the group gathered in front of the black coloured whirlpool. Mo Wuji had entered it once before; he knew that this black whirlpool looked terrifying, and it even devoured spiritual will, but in reality, it was not truly threatening. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s guidance, the group each entered the black whirlpool. "I¡¯ve been to the Immortal Seeking Staircase at the Corner of Yong Ying. That Immortal Seeking Staircase was faint grey, but this one is actually gold." Han Qingru immediately said the moment she saw the towering and immortal energy-rich Immortal Seeking Staircase. "I¡¯ll try first." As Abacus said this, he had already set one foot on the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will followed along Abacus; he wanted to see how Abacus was going to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Soon, he discovered that this was useless; his spiritual will was expelled by the Immortal Seeking Staircase. The speed at which Abacus climbed wasn¡¯t particularly fast. Even so, he soon vanished from Mo Wuji¡¯s field of vision. Following which, all signs of him disappeared completely. "Looks like this is really the Immortal Seeking Staircase; we can use it to enter the Immortal World," Han Qingru said as she saw Abacus disappear. "Junior Brother Mo, we will go to the Immortal World first. We will wait for you there." Lou Chuanhe didn¡¯t dilly around; he was very clear of Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities. After all, whether it was the space canyon or Half Immortal Domain, wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji able to leave both of them? Likewise, Mo Wuji would definitely be able to leave this Corner of Yong Ying. He would need to hurry to the Immortal World and cultivate. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up to the footsteps of this junior brother of his. "Senior Brother Mo, I¡¯m leaving too." Ku Ya bowed towards Mo Wuji, then followed Lou Chuanhe up the Immortal Seeking Staircase. After waiting for Ku Ya and Lou Chuange to disappear within the heights of the Immortal Seeking Staircase, Tong Ye also came to bid his goodbyes. Even after Tong Ye disappeared, Jia Qi actually still hadn¡¯t went up the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Confused, Mo Wuji asked Jia Qi, "Junior Sister Jia Qi, why aren¡¯t you climbing the Immortal Seeking Staircase?" Mo Wuji was the Tian Ji Sect Head, and Jia Qi called him ¡®Senior Brother¡¯. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t call Jia Qi, ¡®Senior Sister¡¯. Jia Qi hesitated before glancing at Han Qingru who was by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. After some time, she said, "Brother Mo, I¡¯ll be heading off to the Immortal World. It¡¯s just that, just that¡­" After stammering for a bit, Jia Qi finally caught her breath. She bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, sorry." After saying this, she hurriedly turned and climbed the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Mo Wuji looked at Jia Qi disappeared within the staircase, he muttered in doubt, "What¡¯s she sorry for?" Han Qingru suddenly said, "Could she be the one to betray your team?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "Not possible. Jia Qi has her own pride, she definitely wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. Oh right, Senior Sister Qingru, you should go up too. I will stay here to experiment for a period of time. I believe that I will soon be able to condense my immortal lattice." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t boasting when he said this. Even without spiritual roots, he was able to find a way to cultivate, and he even managed to reach the Heavenly Immortal Stage. He didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be able to condense his immortal lattice. Even if condensing his immortal lattice was hard, would it be as hard as cultivating without spiritual roots? "Junior brother, if not for you, I probably would have died already¡­" Han Qingru seemed to want to tell Mo Wuji something. It was just that after saying that sentence, she didn¡¯t know how to carry on. She took out a storage ring and handed it to Mo Wuji,"This ring has some herbs that I collected when I was in Hundred Flowers Manor. They are all low tiered herbs. I have no use for them, so I¡¯m giving them to you." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t reject it. He was prepared to concoct immortal pills, and these herbs would be useful. Seeing Mo Wuji keep the storage ring, Han Qingru went silent. After a whole ten breaths of time, she looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Junior brother, I will be waiting for you at the Immortal World." After saying that, she stepped onto the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Soon, like the rest, she disappeared. Mo Wuji shook his head, and placed the ring in his Undying World. He didn¡¯t try to climb this Immortal Seeking Staircase. Not only didn¡¯t he condense his immortal lattice, he didn¡¯t even have a Heavenly Immortal Domain; he would be instantly kicked out the moment he set foot on this Immortal Seeking Staircase. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t leave immediately. Instead, he chose a corner and entered his undying World. At this moment, he had a few storage rings from some Golden Immortals, and a whole stack of rings from Heavenly Immortals. He was prepared to empty all of them and start practising on pills. After he becomes able to concoct immortal pills, he would change the herbs he had into immortal pills, then try condensing his immortal lattice. Chapter 485: Mo Wuji’s Stubbornness Chapter 485: Mo Wuji¡¯s Stubbornness Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Immortal World¡¯s Ying Bian City had been wrecked by a bunch of Heavenly Immortals from Half Immortal Domain; not only did they destroy the transfer array from the Corner of Yong Ying to the Immortal World, they even opened the transfer array from Half Immortal Domain to the Corner of Yong Ying. Countless of cultivators trapped in Half Immortal Domain were able to obtain the chance to come to the Corner of Yong Ying because of this. In merely half a month, there were at least 10,000 Earthly Immortals from Half Immortal Domain that came to the Corner of Yong Ying. The moment these cultivators came out of the transfer array, they would disappear into the various corners of the Corner of Yong Ying. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s power, even if more Earthly Immortals from Half Immortal Domain came over, no one dared to stop them. It was only until one month later that the Immortal World finally rebuilt the transfer array to the Corner of Yong Ying. However, by this time, pretty much all of the Earthly Immortals from Half Immortal Domain had already arrived at the Corner of Yong Ying. After re-establishing order in Ying Bian City, the first thing that the Immortal World did was to order the arrest of Mo Wuji. Unfortunately, the bark of this wanted order was louder than its bite. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s image was pasted all over, the number of cultivators that were truly working hard to find Mo Wuji and catch him, was basically zero. Unless Mo Wuji decided to go back to Ying Bian City, no one is brain dead enough to take the initiative to find Mo Wuji. Furthermore, all the experts that came from the Immortal World came with a regulation talisman; even a Xuan Immortal would want to cherish his own feathers. After all, Mo Wuji¡¯s reputation in the Corner of Yong Ying was fierce and oppressive; he¡¯s someone who could charge into the Ying Bian City singlehandedly, and even kill the Ying Bian City Castellan Luo Jun. Even a Golden Immortal carrying a regulation talisman could only run away if he were to meet such a ferocious person. The Corner of Yong Ying settled back down, and despite its efforts, Ying Bian City was only able to catch a few Earthly Immortals that came from Half Immortal Domain. After all, even though there were so many Earthly Immortals that came over, the Corner of Yong Ying was so wide and vast, so it was not easy to find them. Moreover, those Earthly Immortals had been trapped in a place like the Half Immortal Domain, their characters had hardened and their mind had become sly. How could they be caught so easily? Except for the few hundreds of people that they caught at the start, Ying Bian City no longer caught any more cultivators from Half Immortal Domain. As time passed, the difference between cultivators from Half Immortal Domain and the Corner of Yong Ying disappeared; it was now difficult to distinguish whether a person was from the Half Immortal Domain or the Corner of Yong Ying. Yong Ying Immortal Domain seemed to know that Mo Wuji was unable to use the Immortal Seeking Staircase to enter into the Immortal World, so they eventually settled down after an inital search. The only thing they did, was that cultivators that used the Immortal Seeking Staircase at the Corner of Yong Ying, all had to be interrogated and examined. ¡­ In comparison, the Lifeless River seemed desolate and cold. Right from the start, the Lifeless River was deficient in immortal spiritual energy. Moreover, it was not suitable for life, so there weren¡¯t even fishes in the river. The riverbed of the Lifeless River was also dead silent; Mo Wuji¡¯s Undying World was like the surrounding soil and sand - devoid of any hints of life. Mo Wuji was originally a mortal, and he cultivated his own created technique - the reverse Immortal Mortal Technique. After opening all 108 meridians, the world that he created was also plain and ordinary. Even though Mo Wuji gave his world an impressive name: the Undying World, in reality, even Mo Wuji knew that it would be more suitable to call his world the Mortal World. This was because this world was just like him, plain, ordinary and with no hints of dao ripples. At this moment, as he concealed himself within the sand at the riverbed of the Lifeless River, he was totally inconspicuous. Mo Wuji was currently practising with pills. With more than a hundred Heavenly Immortal rings, and a few Golden Immortal rings, he found a huge pile of immortal herbs and more than a hundred pill formulas. These were all low tiered herbs and pill formulas, which were very suitable for practice. From Tier 1 to Tier 3 immortal pills, Mo Wuji was able to concoct them with confidence. Moreover, all the pills he concocted had layers of pill aura, just like moving runes. As long as a person who knew about pills saw this, he could tell that these were unique grade immortal pills. Mo Wuji¡¯s alchemy was also fostered from his Immortal Mortal Technique. To him, all tiers of immortal herbs, sprouted from an ordinary, mortal roots. With pill techniques fostered by his cultivation technique, Mo Wuji was simply like a fish in water; just like when he cultivated, he didn¡¯t meet with any sort of obstacles. Thus, it was easier for him to concoct pills as compared to other pill refiners; he was able to grasp the immortal herbs¡¯ most basic fundamentals and energy. It was also because of this that his pills were all unique grade. For any pill monarch, being able to concoct unique grade Tier 3 immortal pills already put him close to a pill king existence. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t happy. Because till now, he was still unable to purify his herbs to 100% purity. At the start, Mo Wuji suspected that this might have been due to a problem with his pill furnace. He had purchased his pill furnace from the Jin Yun Auction, and a part of its restrictions had been broken. Afterwhich, Mo Wuji used a Grade 2 immortal pill furnace but he met with the same results. He immediately knew that it was either due to his low cultivation level or low alchemy level. It could also be because of the fact that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a master. If Mo Wuji had a master, his master would have told him not to do something so stupid as to try to purify a herb to 100% purity. It was also because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a master that his purification abilities continuously improved. Every time his purification reached another level, he knew that his alchemy level had increased as well. There had never been a pill refiner like Mo Wuji, to be able to purify immortal herbs to a degree infinitesimally close to 100%. However, he was still unsatisfied and he wanted to improve. On this day, Mo Wuji finally stopped practising on his pills and alchemy. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want to continue, but because he had ran out of immortal herbs. It was already close to half a year since Han Qingru and co. went to the Immortal World. He should start thinking of ways to condense his immortal lattice. Now that he could concoct Tier 3 immortal pills, he should be able to establish a foothold even in the Immortal World. His Undying World was still grey and dull. Inside, besides Mo Wuji¡¯s large piles of immortal crystals and immortal lattice stones, there was only a wooden cane. He had gotten this wooden cane from Meng Tianyu, and he could feel that this wooden cane wasn¡¯t simple. Unfortunately, after moving this Heavenly Wood Cane into the Undying World, it had always been like this. As for the other immortal herbs, after being planted in his Undying World, they would run out of spiritual energy and wither not long later. Mo Wuji sighed and stepped out of his Undying World. From the looks of it, if he wanted to turn his Undying World into a garden, he would need the other elemental beads. Half a year had passed but the Immortal Seeking Staircase at the Lifeless River was still the same; it was faint gold and is inclined upwards into heights that Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t see. Mo Wuji knew that if he could use the immortal lattice stones to condense his immortal lattice, he would also be able to easily climb up the stairs. Mo Wuji had analysed the immortal lattice stones; the immortal lattice stones contained some sort of peerless dao energy. However, this sort of dao energy seemed to be incompatible with his own. It was impossible for him to even use the dao energy to cultivate. After countless attempts, Mo Wuji finally gave up on using the immortal lattice stones to condense his immortal lattice. He suspected that these immortal lattice stones were for cultivators with spiritual roots. He didn¡¯t have spiritual roots; he was the only mortal that cultivated. Since he couldn¡¯t condense his immortal lattice, then he could only try his hand at the Immortal Seeking Staircase, to see whether there were ways to force himself into the Immortal World. Mo Wuji walked in front of the gold Immortal Seeking Staircase and carefully took one step forward. His foot had merely touched the Immortal Seeking Staircase by a bit when a terrifying force of expulsion came bounding over. At this instant, both Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and immortal elemental energy were scattered. An idea subconsciously appeared in his mind, that he didn¡¯t have the rights to climb the Immortal Seeking Staircase. "Boom!" Before Mo Wuji could react, he was sent flying outwards. He crushed against the riverbed, forming a deep gull. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath and stood back up. This was merely a staircase; he didn¡¯t believe that he was unable to climb it. The more it didn¡¯t allow him to climb it, the more he would try. The second time he came to the Immortal Seeking Staircase, it was the same as his previous attempt. Mo Wuji¡¯s foot had only touched the first step before he was sent flying by that terrifying force of expulsion. Mo Wuji¡¯s stubbornness flared up. He continuously went back to the Immortal Seeking Staircase, and he continuously got sent flying. No matter how many times he got sent flying, he stood back up and went back to the Immortal Seeking Staircase. "Boom!" Mo Wuji was sent flying for his 98,712nd time. He wasn¡¯t discouraged. Instead, he felt confident. Even though it was very slight, Mo Wuji could tell that the time his foot spent on the Immortal Seeking Staircase got longer and longer. As long as he could stay on the Immortal Seeking Staircase for a period of time, he would have the chance to find a solution. Chapter 486: Mo Wuji’s Domain Chapter 486: Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations On Mo Wuji¡¯s 98,713rd attempt on the Immortal Seeking Staircase¡¯s first step, the violent expulsion force came sweeping over again. However, the spiritual will in Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel formed a spiritual will whirlpool; this whirlpool was able to block against the violent expulsion force. Over what was close to an entire year, this was Mo Wuji¡¯s first time setting his foot on the Immortal Seeking Staircase without being blown away. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go on to the second step. Instead, he started contemplating on his spiritual will whirlpool. The whirlpool formed from his spirit storage channel was like a Heavenly Immortal Domain, it constructed a space which was safe for him to stay in. Mo Wuji subconsciously glanced at the black whirlpool not far away; he had gained insights on this move from this black whirlpool. Of course, it was also because of his spirit storage channel that he was able to develop this spiritual will whirlpool. After some time, Mo Wuji slowly lifted his other leg; he was prepared to set foot on the second step. His spiritual will whirlpool was just like a Heavenly Immortal Domain; it helped construct a safe space for him. Perhaps, this would be the embryo for his future spiritual will domain. Or perhaps, this spiritual will could actually form a tangible domain, and it would definitely be stronger than an average cultivator. Mo Wuji¡¯s foot went up the second step. A more violent force came bounding over. Mo Wuji did not think twice as he activated all the spiritual will in his sea of consciousness and formed one spiritual will whirlpool after another. "Boom!" His spiritual will whirlpools clashed against the violent force from the Immortal Seeking Staircase. A sort of soul tearing pain inundated Mo Wuji¡¯s entire mind; this pain almost had Mo Wuji groaning. At the next instant, Mo Wuji was sent flying away. "Bang!" Once again, Mo Wuji crashed against the sand. This time, he didn¡¯t recover immediately. Even though he had been sent flying countless of times before, because he had his vitality channel, he would be able to recover in an instant. But this time, his recovery from his vitality channel wasn¡¯t so fast, because his sea of consciousness was injured. No matter the cultivator, the sea of consciousness was the most important part of him. An injury to the sea of consciousness was worse than a damaged spiritual channel. Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians were similar to spiritual channels, and previously, his meridians had been damaged by the spatial blade array. Fortunately, his cultivation was only in the Earthly Immortal Stage and Wen Lianxi had given him a pill. Otherwise, it would have been very hard for him to recover. But now, his sea of consciousness had been damaged. What should he do? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t make another attempt at the Immortal Seeking Staircase. With his damaged sea of consciousness, he would only be courting death by making another attempt at the Immortal Seeking Staircase. He carefully swallowed a few pills. Unfortunately, while he had concocted many pills, he didn¡¯t have a single one that could heal his sea of consciousness. After sitting down for four entire hours, Mo Wuji finally tried using this spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will to probe the degree of damage to his sea of consciousness. The moment his spiritual will seeped into his sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji was stunned. His spirit storage channel actually had the same function as his vitality channel and his detoxification channel. The only difference was, his vitality channel recovered vitality and healed physical injuries, and his detoxification channel removed venoms, while his spirit storage channel was actually able to heal his sea of consciousness. In a single circulation, a good half of his sea of consciousness was healed. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji stood back up, brimming with spirit and energy. His sea of consciousness had been fully recovered, and even his spiritual will had been tempered. His own created reverse Immortal Mortal Technique was indeed heaven defying. This sort of meridian that could heal his sea of consciousness was superior to an immortal grade cultivation technique, right? As Mo Wuji thought of this, he did feel a bit of pride. He had been trapped in a place like this; while he didn¡¯t have an obvious improvement in his cultivation, his rewards were much better. For one, he had become a peak grade Tier 3 Pill Monarch. Secondly, he created his spiritual will whirlpool, this spiritual will whirlpool might become his spiritual will domain. And the most valuable thing was, he actually discovered that his spirit storage channel could actually recover his sea of consciousness. As he thought of this, his entire body shivered in excitement. Also, if his spirit storage channel could heal his sea of consciousness, then would his elemental storage channel be able to heal his meridians? If his elemental storage channel could heal his meridians, then even if he didn¡¯t meet Wen Lianxi, he could have been able to recover by himself. Once Mo Wuji sets his mind on something, he would do it; the immortal elemental energy in one of meridians shook violently, and his meridian had been forcefully torn apart. Even though it was only one meridian, the feeling that his body was no longer complete flooded him. At that instant, both his immortal elemental energy and his dao will felt sluggish. Mo Wuji immediately reverse circulated with his elemental storage channel, and at the same time, formed a reverse circulation path with his elemental storage channel and that broken meridian. A few breaths later, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with indescribable joy. His elemental storage channel was indeed able to heal his meridian. Previously, he didn¡¯t try it because he didn¡¯t know of that function. From the looks of it, his elemental storage channel wasn¡¯t simply a place where he could store elemental energy, and the same went for his spirit storage channel. He had simply wasted so much of their potential. He was completely oblivious to the treasure that he had within him. At this instant, Mo Wuji only wanted to chuckle loudly. His meridian cultivation method was truly exceptional. Instants later, Mo Wuji¡¯s torn meridian was completely recovered. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to set his foot back on the Immortal Seeking Staircase, and at the same time, form his spiritual will whirlpool. After stabilizing himself, Mo Wuji went on to the second step. The violent force came bounding over again. However, Mo Wuji was not like before; not only did he form spiritual will whirlpools from the spiritual will from both his spirit storage channel and his sea of consciousness, he also formed an immortal elemental whirlpool from the energy within his elemental storage channel. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will whirlpools merged with the immortal elemental whirlpool, and at that instant, it formed a unique domain aground Mo Wuji. On the surface, it looked calm and innocuous, but it was actually a domain formed from Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal elemental whirlpool and spiritual will whirlpool. The moment the whirlpool domain was formed, Mo Wuji was able to stand firm on the second step. Mo Wuji stopped at the second step; his heart was filled with ecstasy. In a year¡¯s time, he had obtained the rights to climb the first step. Alternatively, it could be said that he spent an entire year to gain insights on how to climb the first step. As for the second step, he only took one attempt. Sometimes, the things you want may only be separated from you by a thin piece of paper; you only need to lightly touch it and you would be able to get what you want. The current him, had broken through that thin piece of paper. Now, not only can he stand firmly on the second step of the Immortal Seeking Staircase, he had also formed a unique Heavenly Immortal Domain that was exclusive to him; the whirlpool domain formed from the fusion of his immortal elemental whirlpool and the spiritual will whirlpool. After Mo Wuji understood this principle, his entire body felt relaxed. So what if he didn¡¯t have an immortal lattice? Like everyone else, he could step on the Immortal Seeking Staircase. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s mind was clear; he went on to the third step. The immortal elemental energy from all his 108 meridians flooded out, forming one immortal elemental whirlpool after another. He didn¡¯t even need to use his spiritual will; he was able to easily reach a higher level on the Immortal Seeking Staircase. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue climbing the Immortal Seeking Staircase; on the contrary, he went back down. Mo Wuji had never climbed the Immortal Seeking Staircase fully before. Naturally, he didn''t know that for other cultivators, they would have to get to the top in a single try. If they made a second attempt, the pressure would increase by an entire fold. [1] Now, he had the confidence of climbing the Immortal Seeking Staircase and enter the Immortal World. The reason why he came back down was because he had some debts to settle. Firstly, he had to kill Lao Cai to take revenge for Kou Yuan. Secondly, he needed to find Master Pu Zi; regardless of whether Master Pu Zi betrayed them or not, Mo Wuji was going to find him and get the truth. There was also one more thing; he estimated that by this time, the Immortal World should have reconstructed the transfer array to Ying Bian City. He, Mo Wuji, wasn¡¯t someone who would swallow his grievances; since he was going to leave, he would destroy Ying Bian City once more. If he could do it once, he could do it twice. After descending the Immortal Seeking Staircase, Mo Wuji threw out a pile of immortal crystals as he prepared himself to charge into the advanced Heavenly Immortal Stage. When he reaches the Great Circle of the Heavenly Immortal Stage, coupled with his unique whirlpool domain, even a Golden Immortal like Luo Jun would be settled in a short amount of time. [1] So it means that the pressure had increased by close to 100,000 folds for him? Chapter 487: Wheel Of Life And Death Chapter 487: Wheel Of Life And Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was only in the Heavenly Immortal Stage. But with his 108 meridians completely open, and his large amount of high grade immortal crystals, the immortal spiritual energy around Mo Wuji was brimming. The immortal spiritual energy extracted from the high grade immortal crystals formed one whirlpool after another, just like Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain, as they got sucked in by Mo Wuji. In merely half a year, Mo Wuji''s cultivation rose from the intermediate Heavenly Immortal Stage to the advanced Heavenly Immortal Stage, then to the peak. He did not meet with any bottleneck, nor did he administer any immortal pills during this time. Mo Wuji stopped cultivating as he stabilised his cultivation. He was feeling rather emotional; previously, he had concocted a huge amount of immortal pills in case he met with any bottlenecks. Mo Wuji was learning from his previous mistake; back when he was preparing for his Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, if not for the Falling Dust Immortal Fruit which he obtained by a stroke of luck, he would have been destined to fail. Thus before he started cultivating, he specially prepared so many low grade immortal pills. He never expected that even after preparing so many immortal pills, he actually didn''t even use one. Indeed, even he still didn''t know much about his meridian cultivation method yet. If Mo Wuji was in the Immortal World, Mo Wuji would have taken one step more and charge into the Golden Immortal Stage. However, Mo Wuji didn''t dare do it now. The image of those Golden Immortals shattered into pieces by the Law of the Heaven and Earth remained indelible in his mind. He had witnessed those scenes personally; if he charged into the Golden Immortal Stage now, he would only be courting death. It should be time for him to go back to the Immortal World. It would be best if the transfer array from the Immortal World had been reconstructed, and a new castellan despatched. That way, he could heartily cause another ruckus. Unfortunately, his attacks were still too ordinary. Even with his whirlpool domain, his most power attacks were merely his Domain Smashing Fist and his Spatial Imprisonment. As for his Half Moon Halberd, he managed to infuse it with his Nirvana Pole Shadow''s shadow skill, but he didn''t have a proper and complete halberd sacred art. His attacks were still rather plain, but they should be enough to deal with Ying Bian City. Just as Mo Wuji stepped out from the black whirlpool, he felt a violent shockwave sweeping over. Even though Mo Wuji was already at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Stage, this simple shockwave had left all the bones in Mo Wuji''s body shaking. He suspected that if he were to wait any longer, his fleshly body would be thoroughly damaged. Hurry and go back! Mo Wuji did not think twice as he turned back towards the black whirlpool. However, the moment Mo Wuji stepped out of the black whirlpool, it disappeared without a trace. From Mo Wuji''s experience, if he wanted to go back, he would need to wait for an entire day. "Boom!" An intense flood of elemental energy charged over. Mo Wuji¡¯s Water Dispelling Pearl was directly shattered as the violent immortal elemental eneergy and pressure crashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Right on the spot, Mo Wuji coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood and slammed heavily on the riverbed below him. What a powerful sacred art, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with astonishment. Ever since he started cultivating, he had never met with such a terrifying sacred art. Nor had he met with a situation where the repurcussions of another¡¯s battle had almost killed him. It could even be said that if not for his vitality channel, he would have already been dead. "Bang! Bang!" It was as though two huge mountains descended from the sky, sending and displacing water in all directions; two figures appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. One of them was a yellow robed daoist nun. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t see her face; he could only see the layer of white jade snow around her. That white jade snow was like a round world, allowing her to control everything in the surrounding. Opposite the daoist nun was a black faced man. He looked like he had just dug himself out from hell; his entire body was dirty black, and he exuded a suffocating Yin energy from his body. His aura was no weaker than that daoist nun. "Li Qinggu, let¡¯s see where you can run off now. Die for me¡­" The black faced man¡¯s voice was hoarse as he shouted venomously. As he spoke, he extended both his black hands and formed a circle in mid air. "Gu Jiushi, you still don¡¯t have that ability¡­" The yellow robed daoist nun sneered. However, she only completed half her sentence before she shouted angrily, "Gu Jiushi, you actually dare to use the Yin Yang Radiance, you must be mad¡­" "Hahahaha!" The black faced man laughed maniacally, "That¡¯s right, this is the Yin Yang Radiance, one Yin and one Yang. Today, only one of us will survive. If I¡¯m not able to kill you today, I would die right where I stand¡­" A sort of crazy and violent aura of death swept across the entire area. Mo Wuji, as the creator of the meridian cultivation technique, knew what was going from this aura. This Yin Yang Radiance of Gu Jiushi¡¯s was a sure-kill method; the moment it was released, either him or that yellow robed daoist nun would die. This sort of move was a double-edged sword, it could cause both his or his opponent¡¯s death. An Yin Yang Fish Wheel appeared. When that Yin Yang Fish Wheel appeared, despite being heavily injured, Mo Wuji actually closed his eyes. He had suddenly gained insights on a new world. "Boom!" That violent flood of energy came surging over once more, sending the closed eyed Mo Wuji flying again. All the bones within Mo Wuji¡¯s body started shattering inch by inch, and a boundless breath of death seeped into Mo Wuji¡¯s body. The moment Mo Wuji landed heavily back on the riverbed, the battling yellow robed daoist nun and the black faced man had already disappeared. At this moment, Mo Wuji did not have any signs of life as he lied on this desolate Lifeless Riverbed. Both his eyes were still closed. Time passed slowly. The sand and soil from the Lifeless Riverbed gradually covered Mo Wuji up. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s vitality channel was still continuously supplying Mo Wuji with life energy. Gradually, the meridians within Mo Wuji¡¯s previously lifeless body started to reverse circulate; the spirit storage channels started to heal Mo Wuji¡¯s shattered sea of consciousness while the elemental storage channels started to heal Mo Wuji¡¯s torn meridians. Two absolute experts had battled on the Lifeless Riverbed. Even though it was merely a short exchange, the shockwaves from their battle had not only killed Mo Wuji, but had even left Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians and sea of consciousness completely damaged. If not for his meridian cultivation method, which allowed him to have the vitality channel, elemental storage channel and the spirit storage channel, he would be thoroughly and completely dead. Even though Mo Wuji was already gradually regaining his vitality, and his meridians and sea of consciousness had completely recovered, Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t wake up. In Mo Wuji¡¯s mind, there were only the images of that black robed man¡¯s move; within that hand seal of Yin and Yang, there were also traces of life and death. He used the surrounding life energy and death energy to form tangible boundaries; two seperate and extreme domains where one side is Life and the other is Death. No, that¡¯s not right. It should be one thought is Life, and the other thought is Death. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s dao revelation channel started to reverse circulate furiously; all of Mo Wuji¡¯s thoughts and insights started to sublimate within the dao revelation channel. After some unknown period of time, Mo Wuji suddenly stood up; it was as though there were lightning in his eyes as he raised his hands into mid air, forming an Yin Yang Taiji Seal. The river water from the Lifeless River, at this moment, was being pushed away by this seal. "Boom!" The gloom of death filled and inundated the entire area. It was as though the blood and soul within his body had been extracted; Mo Wuji felt his entire body turning empty. His spiritual will and immortal elemental energy, at this instant, was also furiously being sucked out of him. Suddenly, there seemed to be life energy within the Lifeless River. No, it should be said that all the life energy from the Lifeless River had been shifted to one corner, while the other corner was completely filled with the energy of death. This death energy could not be contained as it immediately went in and filled Mo Wuji¡¯s body. At the very next instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was brimming with boundless death energy; at this instant, he was dead. Following which, with the reverse circulation of his vitality channel, all that death energy had been transformed and had become life force. "I understand now," Mo Wuji muttered to himself; his eyes stared into the distance. From the black faced man¡¯s Yin Yang Radiance, Mo Wuji gained enlightenment on this move. Moreover, this move was far more enigmatic than that black faced man¡¯s Yin Yang Radiance, it encompassed the Dao of Life and Death. The moment this move appeared, one must survive while the other dies. "I¡¯ll call this move, the Wheel of Life and Death." Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was filled with intense self-confidence and majesty; this was the second sacred art that he had gained enlightenment from - the Wheel of Life and Death. When other exhibit this Wheel of Life and Death, they would also be placing themselves in utmost danger, because this move would kill either you or your enemy. However, Mo Wuji was not subjected to such a situation; he possessed the vitality channel. The Wheel of Life and Death brings one to the extremes of Life or Death; he would definitely be on the side of Life. As for that yellow robed daoist nun and that black faced man, those two of them were definitely much more powerful than an average Golden Immortal, and Mo Wuji was also sure that they didn¡¯t have any regulation talismans on them. Even without regulation talismans, these two experts were able to appear in the Lifeless River. Ostensibly, these two¡¯s cultivation had already passed the boundaries of the Law of Heaven and Earth, and they would no longer be oppressed by these laws. At this instant, Mo Wuji had etched this grudge towards the two of them in his heart. Even though he had gained enlightenment on the Wheel of Life and Death because of the black faced man¡¯s Yin Yang Radiance, but Mo Wuji was no fool. The moment the black faced man exhibited his Yin Yang Radiance, one of the two of them would definitely die. However, one of these two thick faced fellas actually directed the death energy towards him. Thus, the one who died was the innocent ant, him. If not for his vitality channel, he would have already have been dead. One day, he would definitely find these two people and settle this debt. Chapter 488: You Actually Dare To List Me As Wanted Chapter 488: You Actually Dare To List Me As Wanted Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ying Bian City. As the largest city in the Corner of Yong Ying, as well as being the Immortal World¡¯s symbol in the Corner of Yong Ying, Ying Bian City had always been the most flourishing place in the Corner of Yong Ying. Even though a cultivator from Half Immortal Domain had destroyed its defensive array not long ago, to Ying Bian City, it wasn¡¯t a huge problem. Moreover, after the previous defensive array got destroyed, Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array had been re-installed and modified. Currenly, Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array was a true and solid Grade 3 immortal array; it was no longer something that merely looked grand on the surface. Outside of Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array, a huge wanted notice was hung. On that notice, it was written: Wanted - Half Immortal Domain Expert Mo Wuji. This person is savage and brutal. Previously, he assassinated Ying Bian City¡¯s Castellan Luo Jun, and robbed from Seven Smoke Sect¡¯s Manager He Junhu, as well as Han Zhiqi. Additionally, this person has murdered more than a hundred Heavenly Immortal cultivators from the Corner of Yong Ying. Any cultivator with news would receive huge rewards. This includes 5,000 immortal lattice stones, 100,000 intermediate grade immortal crystals. Those who are able to apprehend this person, would be rewarded 100,000 immortal lattice stones, 500,000 high grade immortal crystals, a Grade 3 attack-type immortal equipment, a Grade 3 flying-type immortal equipment, one Falling Dust Immortal Piil¡­ With such bountiful rewards, people easily ignored the other wanted posters. However, even though the rewards were great, up till now, no one had come forward to provide Ying Bian City with news of Mo Wuji. Almost everyone knew that the poster was lying; it said that Mo Wuji had assassinated Luo Jun. However, it was under everyone¡¯s eyes that Mo Wuji fought and killed Luo Jun in an outright battle; it was no assassination. At this instant, a blue robed cultivator arrived outside Ying Bian City. He lifted up his head and saw the wanted crystal ball notice and said indifferently, "They want to arrest me with just 100,000 immortal lattice stones. This Ying Bian City does seem to think much of me." Constant streams of cultivators flowed in and out Ying Bian City. These words were immediately noticed by some surrounding cultivators. Many of them did not even need to see the image on the crystal ball as they exclaimed, "You¡¯re Mo Wuji¡­" "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Mo Wuji. If you want to catch me, you better hurry." Mo Wuji flipped his hand and the Half Moon Halberd appeared in his palm. Some of those that recognised Mo Wuji immediately lowered their heads. Not only did they not attack him, those that were intending to enter Ying Bian City hurriedly turned and left. There was no need to talk about themselves; even back in Jin Yun City Square, more than hundred Heavenly Immortals and even a Golden Immortal attacked Mo Wuji but they weren¡¯t even able to ruffle Mo Wuji¡¯s feathers. Eventually, Mo Wuji could even fight his way to Ying Bian City and killed the Ying Bian City¡¯s castellan. As long as they weren¡¯t idiots, they wouldn¡¯t dare to fight Mo Wuji. Immortal lattice stones and immortal crystals were good, and the Falling Dust Immortal Pill was amazing, but being able to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Stage, how many of them were idiots? This wanted notice had already been out for three years but there still wasn¡¯t any news about Mo Wuji. Moreover, the new castellan didn¡¯t raise the importance over arresting Mo Wuji. Who didn¡¯t know that they would have to risk their lives to get these things? Seeing that no one dared to make a move on him, Mo Wuji laughed coldy and suddenly, the green halberd in his hand formed a 30 meter long Half Moon Halberd Light. "Boom!" The halberd light directly shattered the wanted crystal ball in dust; that Grade 3 immortal array also started shaking violently. Mo Wuji did not stop there; the green halberd in his hands continued to slash outwards, forming one 30 meter long Half Moon Halberd Light after another which struck continuously at the same spot. In a little more than ten breaths time, a fracture appeared in the array. Even though the array had already been strengthened, when placed it front of an array expert like Mo Wuji, it would still be destroyed. "As we cultivate to become immortals, we must cultivate to such a degree. Only then, can we walk with our heads held high." One of the cultivators standing outside Ying Bian City sighed with emotion as he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s actions. "How many people can be like him? To kill a Golden Immortal while in the Heavenly Immortal Stage; or to cross the Immortal Chasm by himself? I heard that not even Xuan Immortals could necessarily cross the Immortal Chasm safely, and this fella could do that as an Earthly Immortal. He¡¯s clearly not simple." "Speak softly, don¡¯t let the experts from Ying Bian City hear you." "Keke, now that this person has come, do you still think that there are experts in Ying Bian City?" "Err¡­ Dao friend is right." From a greater distance, a few cultivators in the elementary Heavenly Immortal Stage were clenching their fists as their blood boiled endlessly. Others might not know Mo Wuji, but they did; because they were from Half Immortal Domain. A middle-aged man sighed, "Those years ago in Half Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji was already savage without equal; even Dao Lord Guang Quan didn¡¯t dare do anything to him. I even thought that he was too arrogant. Only now do I know that he was still hiding his power." "Unfortunately, my power is too weak. Otherwise, I would definitely take out my magic treasure to stand beside Brother Mo and destroy Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array, then kill our way into Ying Bian City." "All of us cultivators from Half Immortal Domain owe a debt of gratitude towards Brother Mo. if not for him, we wouldn¡¯t be able to use the transfer array to come here. The Half Immortal Domain was continuously collapsing, and if we were to stay there any further, we would have perished in the Immortal Chasm." ¡­ "Crack!" After another halberd light, the fracture in the defensve array finally widened. At this moment, the city gates to Ying Bian City appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. "Which dao friend is dissatisfied with my Ying Bian City, and is attacking my Ying Bian City?" A deep voice resounded. Following which, a white faced man descended outside Ying Bian City. Over ten other people swiftly joined him. Mo Wuji glanced towards these people. Including this white faced man, there were at least four Golden Immortals. Moreover, there were more than ten experts in the late Heavenly Immortal Stage. Lao Cai and that red robed cultivator were among their ranks, which had left Mo Wuji rather contented. From the looks of it, he wouldn¡¯t need to go around searching for Lao Cai. Today, the first person he would kill is Lao Cai. Not only did he want to take revenge for Kou Yuan, he would also help his Senior Sister Qingru vent her resentment. "Chang Luo¡¯s Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji opened his hand and the Half Moon Halberd landed beside him; he did not continue attacking. Chang Luo was his birth place back on Earth, it was merely a county-level city. "Chang Luo¡¯s Dao Friend Mo, my Ying Bian City has no grievances with you, why would you attack my Ying Bian City?" The white faced man¡¯s face turned ugly. His power was not much different from Luo Jun. Moreover, he had heard of Mo Wuji¡¯s might before; Luo Jun, Han Zhiqi and Hong Ju, three Golden Immortals, had attacked him simultaneously, but Mo Wuji was actually able to kill two of them. Furthermore, both Lao Cai and Hong Ju currently weren¡¯t able to fight to the best to their abilities. He had also heard that Mo Wuji was not afraid of group battles. If he, Bi Kang, was to fight with Mo Wuji, he would very likely end up following Luo Jun¡¯s footsteps. Even though he was aggrieved and infuriated, Bi Kang forcefully suppressed his emotions. Unfortunately, this wasn¡¯t the Immortal World; if this was the Immortal World, he would have destroyed Mo Wuji long ago. If this was the Immortal World, he wouldn¡¯t think twice to eradicate an arrogant Heavenly Immortal ant. Mo Wuji naturally knew the intentions behind the other party¡¯s "dao friend" and "Chang Luo"; he¡¯s feigning innocence. Mo Wuji merely chuckled and did not speak, then he suddenly pounced towards the slowly retreating Lao Cai. At the same time, he punched forward, "Since you dare to list me as wanted, then let this old man see how capable you guys are." Compared to his ruckus at Ying Bian City the last time, Mo Wuji¡¯s power was higher by multiple folds. However, Mo Wuji decided that he should still get rid of Lao Cai as soon as possible. Searing hot flames boomed outwards; at the same time, the four Golden Immortal simultaneously exhibited their domains. They all knew that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a domain; now that Mo Wuji suddenly attacked, they would first superpose their domains and heavily injure Mo Wuji. However, the moment the four of them displayed their domains, they knew that something was wrong. Not only did Mo Wuji have a domain, Mo Wuji¡¯s domain was incredibly peculiar; it contained an intense whirlpool force. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Golden Immortal Domains were immediately grinded away by Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain. The red robed Hong Ju hurriedly retreated. He had battled with Mo Wuji before, and he was the person that was most familiar with Mo Wuji¡¯s power. At this moment, wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji multiple folds stronger than when they battled previously? He was sure that even if all four of them worked together, they would only barely block Mo Wuji¡¯s attack. All this was based on the premise that they worked together and be united in their concerted effort. In reality, he knew better than anyone else that the four of them wouldn¡¯t be able to work together. Thus, he, Hong Ju, wouldn¡¯t fight Mo Wuji with all his efforts. Moreover, he knew that even if they worked together and blocked Mo Wuji, his regulation talisman might still shatter. Was Mo Wuji really a simple Heavenly Immortal? The moment Hong Ju retreated, the Golden Immortal Domains, that were already being destroyed by Mo Wuji, became even weaker. Bi Kang snorted and brought out his magic treasure; it was a leopard tail serpent pike. However, before he could even attack Mo Wuji, that terrifyingly hot energy burned a passage in space. A strong and intense oppressive force surged within that passage. This was a fist domain? Bi Kang stared in shock at that searing hot spatial passage; fear and trepidation filled his heart. If this was the Immortal World, he could defend against this punch with all his power. However, if he were to use all his power here, he would only be courting death. Why did such a heaven defying Heavenly Immortal come to the Corner of Yong Ying? Even if this fella was in the Immortal World, few Heavenly Immortals would be able to battle with him. Even Bi Kang subconsciously took a step backwards while the other Golden Immortal went ahead to protect himself. As for Lao Cai, no one wanted to risk their lives to save a mere manager of a merchant house. "Crack!" Lao Cai¡¯s domain disintegrated under Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Smashing Fist and whirlpool domain. The gloomy aura of death enveloped him. Currently, his heart was filled with a single regret: he regretted staying in Ying Bian City. There was no need to talk about him, even the people from the Immortal World didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji would come back to cause another ruckus. "Brother Bi, save me¡­" At this moment, Lao Cai couldn¡¯t care about anything else, as he furiously tried to struggle free of the surrounding superposed domains and go towards Bi Kang for help. Bi Kang¡¯s face was unsightly. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t help Lao Cai. The strength that Mo Wuji had just displayed had let him know that Lao Cai¡¯s and Hong Ju¡¯s reports were all wrong. Mo Wuji¡¯s power was far, far, far higher than what he expected. He would only be courting death if he went to help Lao Cai. Chapter 489: Three Conditions Chapter 489: Three Conditions Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Crack!" Lao Cai could no longer care about the regulation talisman; all the immortal elemental energy in his body surged to the maximum; he even ignited his vital blood. However, before he could escape from Mo Wuji¡¯s punch, his regulation talisman shattered. "Bang!" A fog of blood formed in a flash. Lao Cai, an esteemed Golden Immortal Stage cultivator, was now reduced into a fog of blood. It was unknown whether Lao Cai had been smashed by Mo Wuji¡¯s fist, or crushed by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Mo Wuji¡¯s violent Domain Smashing Fist didn¡¯t dissipate just like that. Instead, it continuously burnt and formed ripples in space. "Crash!" The moment Mo Wuji retracted his fist, the Grade 3 immortal array collapsed on the spot. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji had specially reserved his fist to destroy Ying Bian¡¯s defensive array, Bi Kang didn¡¯t make another move. It was as though his heart had been dipped in ice cold water; just now, he had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s power clearly. He was sure that even if they were in the Immortal World, Lao Cai might not have been Mo Wuji¡¯s match. It was true that Lao Cai still had some other moves of his own, but didn¡¯t Mo Wuji also have other killer moves? At the very least, his defining Lightning Sword Rain had yet to appear. Mo Wuji opened his hands and caught Lao Cai¡¯s rings in mid air. At the same time, he looked at Bi Kang calmly. The reason why he didn¡¯t make a move, was because Bi Kang also hadn¡¯t made a move just now. If Bi Kang had attacked him while he was killing Lao Cai, he would already have slashed Bi Kang with his Half Moon Halberd. He didn¡¯t have grievances with Bi Kang. He didn¡¯t come here to cause a massacre, but to establish his might. "Dao Friend Mo, I am Ying Bian City¡¯s current castellan, Bi Kang. These two are from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, Dao Friend Hu Ming and Dao Friend Hong Ju. Even though there¡¯s some misunderstandings between us, perhaps we could discuss about it in my mansion." When Bi Kang saw that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t make another move after killing Lao Cai, he directly went to keep his magic treasure, then he clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. At the same time, he also took the chance to introduce the other two Golden Immortals. After that, he secretly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Mo, I believe that you¡¯re not a reckless person. If we can sit down and talk, I will definitely be able to offer Dao Friend Mo things that would satisfy you." Mo Wuji did not immediately answer Bi Kang. Instead, he looked at Hong Ju, who had already retreated tens of meters away. He spoke with an icy cold tone, "If you dare retreat any further, I will kill you right here and now. Do you believe me?" Hong Ju, who was retreating continuously, immediately had a pale expression of his face when he heard these words. Shaking, he brought his fists up and cupped them, then said weakly, "Dao Friend Mo¡¯s sacred art is far stronger than mine. If you want to kill me, Hong Ju, I naturally believe that it is possible." Only then did Mo Wuji say to Bi Kang, "Dao Friend Bi Kang, please wait for an instant!" With that, Mo Wuji took a step into the city; his fists punched out once more. "Boom!" Space scrambled around messily in all directions. That newly constructed transfer array to the Immortal World was, once again, destroyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s single punch. Mo Wuji lightly waved his hand, then he moved on to destroy the seals on the transfer array to Half Immortal Domain. After doing all this, Mo Wuji went back in front of Bi Kang; he extended his hand and said, "Dao Friend Bi Kang, you can lead the way." After saying this, Mo Wuji seemed to recall something. He turned back and shouted loudly, "If anyone dares to shout for the death or harm of cultivators from Half Immortal Domain, I will give him the gift of my fist. There will be a third visit to Ying Bian City." Bi Kang¡¯s lips twitched slightly but he could only sigh silently in his heart, as he brought Mo Wuji to the castellan mansion. Even though Hong Ju wanted to leave immediately, he didn¡¯t dare do anything, and could only follow along at the back. "Hahahaha! Solid! F*cking solid!" The moment Mo Wuji left, one of the cultivators in the elementary Heavenly Immortal Stage outside Ying Bian City started chortle loudly. As he noticed eyes landing on him, this chuckling Heavenly Immortal had no reservations as he said, "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m frong Half Immortal Domain. Dao Friend Mo¡¯s actions today has earned my admiration and respect. Something must be wrong in my mind if I don¡¯t stand forward to support Brother Mo." If this was a usual time, the moment a person dared to say that he was from Half Immortal Domain, he would immediately be surrounded then sent to Ying Bian City. But at this moment, all the surrounding cultivators acted as though they hadn¡¯t seen anything as they let this Half Immortal Domain cultivator continue to rejoice and celebrate. Mo Wuji, this vicious person, had killed He Lian Merchant Union¡¯s Manager Lao Cai in a single move. With one halberd, he destroyed Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array, and with another punch, he smashed the transfer array from Ying Bian City to the Immortal World. But in the end, what happened? In the end, he was cordially invited by the castellan to the castallan mansion. No farts were given. To act against a cultivator from Half Immortal Domain now, you must be kidding me, we all want to live for a few more years. ¡­ The entrance of Ying Bian City¡¯s Castellan Mansion. The group stopped. Bi Kang clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, I, Bi Kang, admire geniuses. Dao Friend Mo is a genius among geniuses. Thus, I genuinely wish to invite Dao Friend Mo into my castellan mansion for a discussion." Bi Kang wasn¡¯t lying when he spoke these words. Mo Wuji was able to destroy Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array in a short period of time. Clearly, Mo Wuji was an absolute expert in arrays; Mo Wuji, himself, might be able to install a Grade 3 immortal array. Towards an array expert like this, he, Bi Kang, would only be courting death if he were to try to use arrays to trap Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sneered, "It doesn¡¯t matter how genuine you are. I, Mo Wuji, have nothing to fear. I¡¯m not even afraid that you would act against me. To be honest, I have some soy beans but I don¡¯t have a pan to fry them in. I would actually prefer it if you attack me." Bi Kang started to tremble in anger. He didn¡¯t know about not being able to fry soy beans without a pan, but he guessed that it should mean that Mo Wuji wanted to attack but he didn¡¯t have an excuse to do so. Mo Wuji was so brutal and fierce; even if they joined forces, they wouldn¡¯t be a match for him. He definitely could give Mo Wuji an excuse to attack them. "Dao Friend Mo¡¯s jokes are so funny," Bi Kang forcefully smiled as he clasped his fists. Mo Wuji looked at Bi Kang¡¯s pretentious smile in disdain. If not for the fact that he knew another "Bi Kang" would come over after killing this one, he wouldn¡¯t have wasted so many words. After all, threatening one Bi Kang would cause them to have some fear towards him. "I don¡¯t have time to joke with you. I give you half an incense¡¯s time, release all the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain. Otherwise, I would do it myself," Mo Wuji said indifferently. Bi Kang clasped his fists, "Dao Friend Mo can rest assured. Now that I know that this is a misunderstanding, I will definitely release those Half Immortal Domain cultivators." In Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, he noticed that Bi Kang had sent out a message. Soon, his spiritual will detected large amounts of cultivators being released; he had even met some of them in Half Immortal Domain before. From the looks of it, Bi Kang wasn¡¯t faking an act. "Lead the way then," Mo Wuji¡¯s face eased up. ¡­ Minutes later, Bi Kang and the other Golden Immortals were sitting in the castellan mansion¡¯s guest hall. "Dao Friend Mo, please enjoy the tea." After a pretty female cultivator brought a cup of immortal tea to Mo Wuji, Bi Kang took the initiative to stand up and invite Mo Wuji to drink the tea. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to drink the immortal tea. Thereafter, he placed the teacup aside and spoke in a straightforward manner, "Castellan Bi, let¡¯s go straight to the point. If you are able to satisfy me with three conditions, I will leave immediately. If I¡¯m not satisfied, I will go and find ways to satisfy myself. I don¡¯t like negotiating, I¡¯ve never had such a habit." The way Mo Wuji spoke was incredibly tyrannical. He only gave them one chance to compromise, otherwise, he would kill the lot of them. The teacup in Bi Kang¡¯s hand only got crushed into pieces. He started to regret why he didn¡¯t place poison in that immortal tea. It took him much difficulty to calm himself down, and he tried to speak as warmly as possible, "Firstly, the three of us won¡¯t arrest any of the cultivators from Half Immortal Domain. But if you kill us, we don¡¯t have the power to guarentee that others would not arrest them." Mo Wuji knew that Bi Kang was merely a castellan despatched from the Immortal World; it was already pretty impressive that he could do something of this degree. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze then turned towards Hu Ming and Hong Ju. Noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze land on them, Hu Ming and Hong Ju hurriedly said "We only follow Castellan Bi¡¯s orders; Castellan Bi¡¯s words are the same as ours." Mo Wuji nodded, then turned back to Bi Kang. When Bi Kang saw that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything much with this first condition, he heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "My Ying Bian City is willing to compensate Dao Friend Mo 100,000 high grade immortal crystals." Mo Wuji sneered, they want to make him leave with 100,000 high grade immortal crystals, do they think that he¡¯s a beggar? Seemingly noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s displeasure, Bi Kang hurriedly added, "Dao Friend Mo, actually, it¡¯s also incredibly hard for us to get high grade immortal crystals. After all, this is the Corner of Yong Ying, and not the actual Immortal World. I heard that Dao Friend Mo likes to refine pills, so I also prepared some valuable pill formulas for Dao Friend Mo." "Oh, why don¡¯t you take them out?" The moment Mo Wuji heard about the pill formulas, he instantly got spirited. He guessed that Bi Kang should have heard of his purchase of a pill furnace back in the Jin Yun Auction, which was why Bi Kang had this idea. Bi Kang, on the other hand, did not hesitate as he brought out a beastskin scroll and passed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji only swept across the scroll with his spiritual will to know that it was genuine. This beastskin scroll is at least thousands of years old; Bi Kang couldn¡¯t possibly have the time to produce such a fake. There were 7 pill formulas in the scroll and Mo Wuji had already known of two of them. There were also three of the pill formulas which weren¡¯t that valuable as they were wine brewing formulas. However, the last two pill formulas were especially valuable: one was the Xuan Crossing Pill, the other was the Drizzle Pill. The Xuan Crossing Pill was a Tier 3 Immortal Pill; it was a pill that could help a Golden Immortal advance into the Xuan Immortal Stage. This pill formula was incredibly valuable to Mo Wuji. The Drizzle Pill was also a Tier 3 Immortal Pill; this pill could help cultivators in the Xuan Immortal Stage and below to recover their immortal elemental energy. It was also very valuable. "These pill formulas are useful to me. I accept this condition." Mo Wuji had no trace of politeness as he kept the pill formulas. Seeing that Mo Wuji had agreed to the second condition, Bi Kang heaved a sigh of relief again. Then, he took out a positioning ball and passed it to Mo Wuji, "This shows the location of an Immortal King Ruins in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. After I received this map, I never had the chance to visit it. If Dao Friend Mo is interested, you can take it." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will seeped into the crystal ball; indeed, it showed a mountain range shrouded in mist; there even seemed to be a huge river. However, Mo Wuji was sure that Bi Kang had definitely visited this ruins before. Moreover, this crystal ball was definitely a roadside good that many people knew about. Chapter 490: The Unforeseen Situation In The Lifeless River Chapter 490: The Unforeseen Situation In The Lifeless River Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After obtaining the pill formulas for the Xuan Crossing Pill and the Drizzle Pill, Mo Wuji was already rather contented. Moreover, killing Bi Kang would not be able to change the reality of the Immortal World controlling the Corner of Yong Ying. He couldn¡¯t stay in the Corner of Yong Ying forever; if he wanted the Corner of Yong Ying to truly be independent, he would have to wrest for power within the Immortal World. However, all this were merely ideals for the current Mo Wuji. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji grabbed the crystal ball and said, "Your three conditions pass." "Many thanks Dao Friend Mo. If Dao Friend Mo comes back to my Ying Bian City in the future, you will always be an esteemed guest." When Bi Kang heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he kenw that he had passed this calamity; Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go on a massacre. Mo Wuji did not care about Bi Kang¡¯s pretentious words. Instead, he turned to Hong Ju, "Hong Ju, you have stayed in Ying Bian City for the longest period of time. I need to ask you a few questions." Hong Ju hurriedly said, "Dao Friend Mo, feel free to ask me anything. Hong Ju will answer to the best of my abilities." Hong Ju, an esteemed Golden Immortal, was currently being so courteous and respectful to Mo Wuji, a Heavenly Immortal. However, Bi Kang and Hu Ming didn¡¯t have the slightest disdain towards him. After all, Mo Wuji was able to kill them easily with a lift of his hand. To behave without respect would only courting death. Mo Wuji said with an indifferent expression, "First question. Half Immortal Domain excavates immortal lattice stones and provides them to the Immortal Domain. Also, in Half Immortal Domain, there¡¯s this acute wood energy; if one stays in Half Immortal Domain for long without expelling this energy, he would gradually be woodified. I heard that there¡¯s a pill that could expel this acute wood energy, it¡¯s called the Wood Dissolving Pill." As he got here, Mo Wuji specially raised the seriousness in his tone, "This Wood Dissolving Pill can only be concocted by metal-type pill refiners. I conducted some research in Half Immortal Domain, but I was completely unable to find any metal-type pill refiners. I have already investigated on the pill formula, and I found that it originated from here. Now, can you tell me, are these metal-type pill refiners currently in Ying Bian City?" The moment Mo Wuji raised his voice, Hong Ju subconsciously shuddered; he could even feel Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent. Even though he had just sat down, he stood back up, frightened by Mo Wuji¡¯s words. He slowly clasped his fists and said, "Dao Friend Mo¡¯s words are true. Those Wood Dissolving Pills are supplied by Ying Bian City. However, those metal-type pill refiners aren¡¯t in Ying Bian City. This is because concocting the Wood Dissolving Pill is damaging to one¡¯s longevity and vital blood. Additionally, metal-type pill refiners have always been very rare. Thus, the Immortal Domain uses all sorts of methods to find metal-type pill refiners from the various low grade planets and bring them to the Corner of Yong Ying. Thereafter, they would be sent to the true Immortal World for fostering. Even the castellan and I do not know where they are." Not only did Hong Ju answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question, he even said more than what Mo Wuji asked for. The moment Mo Wuji heard Hong Ju¡¯s answer, he knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to get any further news of the metal-type pill refiners here. Hong Ju¡¯s words should be true. Mo Wuji nodded, "Second question. All the cultivators at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage from the various planets are sent to Half Immortal Domain. Is this related to the Immortal World?" Hong Ju hurriedly replied, "Dao Friend Mo, I really don¡¯t know." Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze turn to them, Bi Kang and Hu Ming eagerly replied, "Dao Friend Mo, we don¡¯t know about this too. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t ask any further. He believed that these people were merely ants for being sent to Ying Bian City. It was expected that they don¡¯t know anything. "Third question. I once went into the Yong Ying Prison. It seems like they imprisoned some peak geniuses. What¡¯s that about?" The moment Mo Wuji asked this question, he felt Bi Kang and co.¡¯s faces turn pale white. He suddenly had a feeling that he shouldn¡¯t have asked this question. After some time, Hong Ju replied with a trembling voice, "Such a thing truly happened, but I have only heard rumors about it. This matter isn¡¯t privy to ants like us. Even if Brother Mo were to threaten to kill me, I wouldn¡¯t be able to give you a specific answer. At the same time, I, Hong Ju, swear that if I were to reveal that Dao Friend Mo asked me this question, I, Hong Ju, will be struck by lightning and never be able to reincarnate." The moment Hong Ju finished swearing, Bi Kang and Hu Ming also hurriedly stood up and started swearing, promising to never reveal of Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He knew that he should not have asked that previous question. After asking that question, the best solution was to get rid of the three of them. However, this Hong Ju actually swore a poison oath; it would truly be going against his values to kill the three of them now. Mo Wuji did not pursue this matter. Instead, he continued asking, "Fourth question. Who told Ying Bian City that I had a large amount of immortal lattice stones on me, and that Lou Chuanhe had the Immortal-Traversing Ship?" Hong Ju seemed to notice that Mo Wuji had suppressed his killing intent. He didn¡¯t dare to hide anything as he answered promptly, "It¡¯s Kou Yuan, he¡­" "That¡¯s definitely impossible!" Mo Wuji did not hesitate to interrupt Hong Ju¡¯s words. He had an intuition towards Kou Yuan¡¯s personality; he definitely didn¡¯t believe that Kou Yuan would betray him. The reason why he became friends with Kou Yuan, was entirely because of Kou Yuan¡¯s character." Hong Ju hurriedly explained, "Even though Kou Yuan might be a genius, he doesn¡¯t belong to the ranks of absolute geniuses. The reason why he could have his tribulation in Half Immortal Domain and advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage was because of Luo Jun. In his mind, Luo Jun concealed a Golden Immortal¡¯s primordial spirit imprint. After arriving at the Corner of Yong Ying, when Kou Yuan was battling, that primordial used that chacne to possess Kou Yuan¡­" "Where¡¯s Kou Yuan now?" Mo Wuji no longer bothered to conceal his killing intent. If he didn¡¯t kill this fella that possessed Kou Yuan, he would never be able to live with a clear heart. "Kou Yuan has already entered into the Immortal World," Hong Ju answered cautiously. "Then is the Immortal-Traversing Ship with Kou Yuan?" Mo Wuji snorted, then suppressed his killing intent. Hong Ju hurriedly answered, "No, Kou Yuan seems to have some agreement with some other person from Half Immortal Domain. The Immortal-Traversing Ship was taken away by that other person." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; fortunes truly clouded people¡¯s hearts. For some cultivators, friends could never compare to treasures. Moreover, the group of them only formed a temporary alliance. Mo Wuji did not have the mood to continue any further. He stood up and said coldly, "Actually, I intended to kill today, but I¡¯m not a person that enjoys killing. Since you¡¯ve provided the conditions, I woun¡¯t act any further. I hope that the few of you won¡¯t give me an excuse to act. Otherwise, I will definitely make a third visit." With that, Mo Wuji stepped out of the guest hall and disappeared. Throughout the entire process, Bi Kang¡¯s emotions went from anger to rage, to helplessness, then to acceptance¡­ If this was the very start and Mo Wuji had left so arrogantly, he would have thought of ways to eliminate Mo Wuji. But now, he was very calm. To him, Ying Bian City was merely an encampment. After a period of time, he would leave Ying Bian City, and everything that happens here would have no relations to him. Hong Ju stood up the moment Mo Wuji left. The reason why he stayed in Ying Bian City was because he believed that Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t come back. But now, Mo Wuji actually came back to Ying Bian City for a second time. If not for his cooperation, he would have ended up like Lao Cai. He definitely wouldn¡¯t stay in Ying Bian City any further; he had to leave this place. He was able to escape from Mo Wuji¡¯s hands twice, but who knows if there would be a third time? ¡­ This was his second time destroying Ying Bian City¡¯s defensive array, as well as the transfer array to the Immortal World. As for how the Immortal World would react, Mo Wuji completely didn¡¯t give a sh*t. At this moment, he was going around all corners of the Corner of Yong Ying, causing a strange phenomena in the Corner of Yong Ying. Previously, the various city squares and cities in the Corner of Yong Ying would hang Mo Wuji¡¯s image. But after Mo Wuji visited these places, those images would be taken down. Everyone who saw this would act as though nothing had happened. Some would even stop and bow towards Mo Wuji. Eventually, some city squares and cities now that Mo Wuji was no longer ¡®wanted¡¯, and they took the initiative to take Mo Wuji¡¯s image down. ¡­ After leisurely travelling around the Corner of Yong Ying for three to four months, Mo Wuji returned back to the Lifeless River. During this time, he met some cultivators from Half Immortal Domain. However, he didn¡¯t meet any familiar faces like Bian Shuangbi and Qu Yang. As for Master Pu Zi, even less news of him could be found. Additionally, Mo Wuji felt as though his cultivation could enter into the Golden Immortal Stage at any instant. The cultivation resources in the Corner of Yong Ying was limited, thus, Mo Wuji decided to leave and head towards the Immortal World. Originaly, Mo Wuji intended to head straight to the Lifeless Riverbed, then use that gold Immortal Seeking Staircase to go to the Immortal World. However, the moment Mo Wuji reached the banks of the Lifeless River, he was stunned by the scene before him. All this while, the Lifeless River had been incomparably calm. It was because of this calm, that the Lifeless River looked vast and majestic. This was especially so for the Lifeless Riverbed; it was simply dead silent. It could be said that except for the battle between the two absolute experts, there hadn¡¯t been any situations in the Lifeless River. However, at this instant, the Lifeless River was roiling and crashing. Even the most violent seas wouldn¡¯t have such crazy waves. Among the crashing waves, Mo Wuji could even feel an intense and enigmatic energy. Mo Wuji did not believe that someone was battling within the Lifeless River because these waves did not seem to be induced by a battle¡­ That¡¯s not right, Mo Wuji seemed to recall somethin. The Lifeless River was vast and wide, but if there was a wind, it shouldn¡¯t have remained as calm as a dead pool of water. Previously, when he arrived at the Lifeless River with Ku Ya and co., his mind had been occupied with the matter of the betrayal, so he hadn¡¯t noticed this point. At this instant, the Lifeless River was crashing and rolling; it did not seem to be the usual Lifeless River. If he were to think conventionally, on a calm day like this, even if there were ripples on the river surface, it should not have such huge waves. There seems to be some unforeseen situation in the Lifeless River. The moment Mo Wuji thought of this, he saw several flying treasures whizzing by. Soon, they parked at the peripheries of the Lifeless River. Chapter 491: The Gourd On The Lifeless Riverbed Chapter 491: The Gourd On The Lifeless Riverbed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Senior Mo," A few cultivators got off the flying treasures recognised Mo Wuji immediately as they hurried to greet him. Mo Wuji was a unique character in the Corner of Yong Ying and in fact, he was a person wanted but could never be captured by the Ying Bian City. Even if the Immortal World rebuilt the transfer array to the Corner of Yong Ying, the Immortal World didn¡¯t attempt to capture Mo Wuji. Who would dare to not show their respect for a person like him? Mo Wuji nodded to acknowledge the greetings and inquired, "Does anyone knows about the origins of this Lifeless River?" A white haired Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivator said, "I¡¯ve heard that this Lifeless River was originally a river of the Lifeless Dao Sect with the sect protecting spiritual beasts living within the river itself. Later on, the Lifeless Dao Sect obtained a treasure which started the fight among the 10 biggest domains. I¡¯ve heard that after the huge fight, the Lifeless Dao Sect ended up being completed fragmented and only the Lifeless River remained. Rumours were that this Lifeless River in the Corner of Yong Ying was only a small portion of the complete Lifeless River and there was still a portion of it in the true Immortal World." Mo Wuji was astonished and asked once more, "So the Immortal World has 10 immortal domains?" The white haired cultivator answered, "There were indeed 10 immortal domains initially but there are only 7 big immortal domains remaining. Back then, after the Lifeless Dao Sect was destroyed, there was another incident that ignited the huge war between the 10 immortal domains once more. This time around, three big immortal domains were destroyed during the fight." "What did the Lifeless Dao Sect obtained? It could actually spark off so many internal conflicts?" Another cultivator by the side asked. The white haired cultivator shook his head, "I don¡¯t know about this. Furthermore, I¡¯ve heard that for long periods in a year, this Lifeless River was extremely calm. However, there were turbulent waves in the river and who knows what would emerge from it?" At this moment, a pillar emerged out from the bottom of the Lifeless River towards the sky and a mysterious energy was emitted from it. The very moment Mo Wuji felt this mysterious energy, he could feel his entire body becoming cleaner as if all the impurities in his body was brought away by this mysterious energy. Even all 108 meridians of his started to clear up. Mo Wuji was shocked, as this energy that he just felt was definitely something extraordinarily good. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the only one who felt it as the remaining cultivators beside him could feel it too. Presently, even though Mo Wuji was here, all the other cultivators couldn¡¯t hold their excitement any longer as they dashed into the Lifeless River. No one would not be excited after witnessing the emergence of such a heaven-earth unique treasure. Mo Wuji was equally tempted because what was the key to cultivation dao? Other than having a correct mindset and hard work, it was how one made use of opportunities. If one couldn¡¯t be bothered to seize the opportunity presented in front of him, there was really no point in further cultivation. After everyone else had jumped into the Lifeless River, Mo Wuji followed as he made his way to the Lifeless Riverbed. ¡­ Mo Wuji had no idea how long he had stayed on this Lifeless Riverbed but he could only experience a deathly stillness the last time he was here. This time around, the moment he stepped on the riverbed, he could feel a threshing energy. The strong waves of the Lifeless River were not only evident as roaring waves on the surface but a tumbling motion on the riverbed too. At this instant, the Lifeless River was like boiling water in a pot. Mo Wuji could feel that same energy which could cleanse his meridians and even his soul coming from further down the riverbed. In fact, further down the riverbed would be towards the direction of the Immortal Seeking Staircase which was why Mo Wuji was the first to rush over in a jiffy. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s extreme speed coupled with his extreme familiarity with this place, he was able to arrive at the place emitting the mysterious energy in just over two hours. An enormous faint purple gourd appeared in front of Mo Wuji and as the gourd was lying on the riverbed, it¡¯s cover was opened leaking out a mysterious, distinct spiritual energy. The closer Mo Wuji approached this gourd, the clearer he could feel the energy cleansing his entire body. Even though Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t recognise this energy, he knew that it was of the peak grade. He landed right beside this gourd and extended his hand to pick up this gourd. However, Mo Wuji felt dejected very soon after because even though he had exerted all his spiritual will and elemental energy, this gourd didn¡¯t even move an inch. Moments later, Mo Wuji made a decision to enter the gourd. Experts of the Immortal World might come to claim this treasure very quickly so he had to make this gourd his as soon as possible. Moreover, Mo Wuji had his own suspicions as to why this gourd landed here with its cover opened. He suspected that the cover was opened because of the battle between the two peerless experts earlier on. The repercussions of their fight must had destroyed the gourd¡¯s restrictions and revealed this originally concealed gourd. By entering this gourd, Mo Wuji would be placing himself in the field of death. The moment he wasn¡¯t able to bring this gourd away and someone managed to do so while he was in the gourd, his fate would lie entirely on that person¡¯s hands. The instance he entered the gourd, Mo Wuji could feel as though his entire body was about to tear apart as endless energy scoured through his body. A little bit of this energy would make him feel as though his body was free of impurities but when such endless energy scoured through him, he felt like a thousand knives pierced through him. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s past where he had been cultivating with lightning tearing his body apart, he might not be able to withstand this amount of pain. In just a few moments¡¯ time, Mo Wuji managed to calm himself down forcefully. He could sense that there were more cultivators outside the gourd which resulted in his sense of urgency to keep this gourd for himself in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, there would definitely be more cultivators arriving at this gourd. It was a complete chaos within the gourd and Mo Wuji could not even use his spiritual will let alone try to refine this gourd. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have his spiritual eye, he would definitely leave this place immediately. Mo Wuji managed to condense some spiritual energy and his spiritual eye appeared on his forehead in an instant. As the energy from the gourd brushed his spiritual eye, he could feel his spiritual eye burning in pain as well as surging to its next level without stopping. After a few breaths, Mo Wuji found an inscription within the gourd. He hurried over as his spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the inscription as he started refining it. Half an incense worth of time had passed and Mo Wuji could forget about finding out what the inscription was about as well as refining this inscription. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because he knew that he had no fate with this gourd. All he thought about now was to hurry out before any true expert came over. Before he exited this place, he captured some of this energy and sent it into his Undying World before leaving. Just as Mo Wuji opened his Undying World, he could feel an intense tremble of this gourd as if countless of massive rocks crashed against the surface of this gourd. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart fell silent because he was willing to place himself on the field of death but was definitely not willing to throw his life away for a treasure. Previously, he entered the gourd because no one else was there but the trembles earlier on were clear signs of the arrival of experts. Even with his capabilities, he wasn¡¯t able to move this gourd so one could imagine how much stronger this expert must be to cause such trembles. In a place like the Corner of Yong Ying, to be stronger than him, the person must have come from the Immortal World. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered with collecting the energy anymore as he hurried to get out of the gourd. Soon after, Mo Wuji could sense that something was amiss. He actually sensed that this non-movable and non-refinable gourd was actually entering his Undying World. Mo Wuji reacted to the situation and could deduce that his Undying World should be different from the normal pocket dimensions. The gourd must have sensed the difference which was why it wanted to enter his Undying World. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about anything else as he charged out of the gourd and the Undying World landed on the riverbed. His Undying World was extremely ordinary and if he were to conceal it well, it would look like a normal looking sand which no one else would suspect. However, the difference was that the gourd disappeared and even though his Undying World was not spotted, his Undying World might not be able to take the attacks by the expert. The moment an expert were to attack crazily, his Undying World might be destroyed into pieces before he knew it. "Boom!" Moments after Mo Wuji landed on the riverbed, a terrifying energy surged towards him. Mo Wuji was instantly sent flying by this strong force and the surrounding water turned into an endless amount of whirlpools. Seeing how the hundreds of cultivators around him were also swept away by this insane surge of energy, Mo Wuji knew that he made the right decision by not hiding in his Undying World. If he were to hide there, there would only be one outcome: The shattering of his Undying World. Concurrently, he also noticed about four people fighting on the riverbed and every one of them displayed majestic powers. Even though they couldn¡¯t be compared to the yellow dress woman and the black face man previously, Mo Wuji was fully aware that either one of the four would be able to kill him easily. Mo Wuji had yet to land but yet another explosive shadow of a person landed and a shrieking voice could be heard, "Who kept the Lifeless Dao Sect¡¯s gourd? If you dare to claim it to be yours alone, don¡¯t blame me, Po Feng, for being rude." The gourd was missing and the four who were fighting stopped. Including Po Feng who just arrived, the five on them stood on their guard against each other. In their eyes, they were certain that one of the five of them took the gourd away. All five of them came from the Immortal World using the regulation talisman and the gourd couldn¡¯t be refined in such short period of time even by a Golden Immortal hence, these countless of Heavenly Immortal would never stand a chance to bring this gourd away. The five of them exchanged glances with each other and the rest of the Heavenly Immortal cultivators, who hadn¡¯t been swept off by the energy earlier on, were frantically scurrying away in all four directions. Mo Wuji was also escaping with the rest but the direction of his escape was different as he was headed towards a black whirlpool. At this moment, he knew better than anyone else that all five experts came from the Immortal World using their regulation talisman. Any one of them could kill him in an instant and the only reason why he was able to get out of the Ying Bian City unharmed was that none of the true experts bothered about him. After comprehending this logic, he would naturally want to leave this place as soon as possible. "Hold on! Don¡¯t let any one of these ants from the Corner of Yong Ying leave," Among the five experts, one woman seemed to have recalled something as she shouted furiously. Chapter 492: Deathly Tribulation Chapter 492: Deathly Tribulation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Cultivators who were able to make it to the Lifeless Riverbed were no weaklings and almost every one of them was extremely sensitive to treasures like this one. ¡®To keep these ants here¡¯ would definitely imply that these experts wanted to kill all of them instead of letting them leave. After everyone heard this sentence, all the Heavenly Immortal experts tried even harder to escape in all four directions. If they were outside, the five of them would be confident that they could contain all hundreds of them. However, now that they were in the Lifeless Riverbed coupled with the fact that they came with regulation talisman on them, the five of them were unable to capture everyone at once. Mo Wuji was even crazier as he tried to escape. Fortunately, nobody noticed this fella who ran towards the unknown depth of Lifeless River instead of towards the surface. Half a day later, Mo Wuji arrived where the black whirlpool was located at. The black whirlpool hadn¡¯t emerged yet so Mo Wuji could only lurk around as he waited patiently. Concurrently, there were only a minute few Heavenly Immortal cultivators with extreme speed or unique means who managed to escape from the clutches of the five experts and reached the surface of the Lifeless River. This was also the disadvantage of escaping from the riverbed because if it was any other place, the five experts would definitely not be able to capture everyone once they had escaped in all four directions. However, now that these cultivators were escaping from the riverbed, these experts simply had to wait for them at the surface of the river to hold everyone back. Po Feng was the last to arrive at the Lifeless River and among the five experts from the Immortal World, he was evidently the strongest. Currently, his eyes shifted from the hundreds of Heavenly Immortal cultivators in captive to the other four Immortal World experts before said, "Fellow Dao friends, the gourd must definitely be on one of us and I believe the truth will be revealed very soon. As for those who managed to escape, I believe we will be able to find out about them very soon." "And if there was still someone hiding in the riverbed?" A slightly shorter man grunted as he disagreed with Po Feng¡¯s words. Po Feng was slightly startled before realising how true the words of this short cultivator was. So what if someone didn¡¯t escape but chose to hide in the riverbed? "No matter who they are, I believe that as long as they had arrived at the Lifeless River, someone would notice them," Po Feng answered. The Lifeless River was vast with no boundaries so if someone really chose to hide within the riverbed, it would truly be difficult for them to find him given their current strength. ¡­ Mo Wuji waited for over two hours and the black whirlpool finally reemerged as he charged straight into it. Just as Mo Wuji charged into the black whirlpool, a tremendously shocking spiritual will swept across the area. In fact, this spiritual will was many folds stronger than the five experts¡¯ spiritual will. This spiritual will paused for a moment at the place Mo Wuji waited and then shifted away very soon after. As the spiritual will swept across the entire riverbed, it didn¡¯t stop for anything else. As the spiritual will reached the five experts on the surface of the Lifeless River, all of them felt the spiritual will and immediately bowed before greeting respectfully, "Greetings Lord Heavenly Emperor." "Which one of you obtained the treasure of the Lifeless Dao Sect?" The majestic spiritual will could be felt by everyone. Po Feng was the strongest there but he knew that the moment Heavenly Emperor asked about it, he wouldn¡¯t get anything even if they had found the gourd. Even though he knew he wouldn¡¯t get anything, Po Feng stood up and answered respectfully, "The gourd disappeared all of the sudden and we are still in the midst of finding it." As the prestigious spiritual will became clearer, a faint silhouette started to appear gradually. ¡­ At this moment, Mo Wuji had already stepped onto the ninth step of the Immortal Seeking Staircase. His body started to disappear from the Immortal Seeking Staircase as he entered the mist at the top of the Golden Immortal Seeking Staircase. Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain extended out and the pressure from the Immortal Seeking Staircase on him was almost negligible. After a few hours, Mo Wuji¡¯s body became light as a powerful force swept him off his feet. "Boom!" Mo Wuji felt like he was thrown from midair onto a pile of ruins. Dense immortal spiritual energy could be felt and even before Mo Wuji started cultivating, his meridians were already unblocked. As he used his spiritual will to scan the area, other than the ruins he was in, there was a continuous, superimposed mountain range with thick mist located further away from him. It seemed like this should be the Immortal World and that everyone who exited the Lifeless River Immortal Seeking Staircase wouldn¡¯t end up at the same place but a random location. The only problem was that he didn¡¯t know which immortal domain he was in. Just as Mo Wuji was wondering about his location, am immensely strong energy locked onto him and the sky above him turned gloomy. Could it be a lightning tribulation? Mo Wuji became suspicious as he lifted his head and saw the dense dark clouds and the flashes of lightning within it. He was clearly not ready for the Golden Immortal tribulation so if it wasn¡¯t the Golden Immortal tribulation, what tribulation could this be? Could it be that every cultivator, who came out from the Lifeless River¡¯s Immortal Seeking Staircase, had to go through a lightning tribulation like this? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji started worrying about one more issue. He wasn''t worried about his own lightning tribulation because when he was condensing his Undying World, he had even overcome that terrifying lightning tribulation so there was no other tribulation that could make him worry. He was worried about Lou Chuanhe, Ku Ya, and co. because if every single one of them had to go through a tribulation like this too, how many of them could actually survive in the Immortal World? "Boom boom boom!" Nine thick lightning bolts fell and Mo Wuji simply let out a few punches without thinking about anything else. As the nine thick lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, even he could hear that the cracks in his bones. "Bang!" A pile of soil was lifted off and Mo Wuji was sent into the mud pit. This was only the first series of lightning bolts and Mo Wuji could truly feel the wrath of the Immortal World lightning tribulation. Even if he managed to overcome a tribulation like this, he would definitely feel weak for a long period of time. After swallowing a few immortal healing pills, Mo Wuji had no choice but to draw his magic treasure even though he didn¡¯t usually do that for his tribulation. "Boom boom boom!" The second series of nine lightning bolts fell and Mo Wuji could feel that this series was very much more powerful than the first. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t care about anything else as his Half Moon Halberd turned into countless of Half Moon Halberd radiance charging towards the lightning bolts together with a few lightning swords. All his meridians started circulating simultaneously as it formed a massive spiritual circulation. The lightning bolts that fell on his body started entering his meridians and turned into Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation resources. The vitality channel started to moisturise Mo Wuji¡¯s broken bones rapidly as it worked hand in hand with immortal healing pills to hasten Mo Wuji¡¯s speed of recovery. Mo Wuji¡¯s wounds were not completely healed but the third and fourth wave of lightning bolts fell as Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. After suffering the effects of these two waves, a few of Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians broke. What a terrifying lightning tribulation. Even though he had condensed his pocket dimension, the dense lightning bolts were not even as scary as this one. What was going on? "Kacha!" Mo Wuji¡¯s waist was broken and even with the aid of his vitality channel and elemental storage channel, he wasn¡¯t able to stay on his feet. His rate of recovery was not able to keep up with the rate at which he was getting hurt. This was the first time Mo Wuji felt the threats of death as he lifted his head and saw the dark clouds started filling the sky again. He knew that if he didn¡¯t think of something fast, he could die under this lightning tribulation. Mo Wuji quickly swallowed three blue pills and then grabbed a pile of immortal crystals. As his elemental storage channel tried to recover his meridians, the other meridians started condensing immortal spiritual energy madly as he charged towards the Golden Immortal Realm. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t losing his mind but he knew that this was his only way out. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have swallowed three Fallen Dust Immortal Pills in one go. He already couldn¡¯t withstand a lightning tribulation like this so if he had to undergo the Golden Immortal tribulation too, he could have been burnt into ashes in seconds. But the fact was that if he didn¡¯t welcome the Golden Immortal tribulation, his cultivation level wouldn¡¯t be able to improve and he would die. If he somehow managed to advance into the Golden Immortal Stage by luck, he would still have a slim chance of survival. The intense immortal spiritual energy bombarded the shackles of Mo Wuji¡¯s Heavenly Immortal cultivation as the shackles trembled. "Kakakaka!" Yet another wave of lightning bolts fell and the bones that just recovered broke once more. The immense lightning tribulation in the sky didn¡¯t appear any weaker but was stronger by yet another fold. Mo Wuji was fully aware that he had ignited the Golden Immortal lightning tribulation. Whether he survived or die, it would be dependent on whether the next wave of lightning bolts could break his shackles and allow him to advance into the Golden Immortal Stage. "Boom boom boom boom boom!" The sky was fully filled with flashes of lightning as the entire sky was gloomy with traces of blue. There was no longer any gaps of clear sky. Tens of lightning bolts fell and a deathly energy penetrated Mo Wuji¡¯s soul. His sea of consciousness trembled and his soul groaned. The Half Moon Halberd sent out tens of halberd shadows into the sky full lightning as his lightning webs and swords were also sent in that direction by Mo Wuji. Even the two Grade 2 immortal defensive shield were brought out by Mo Wuji. At this moment, the more lightning bolts he could block out, the higher the chances of survival. "Kakaka!" The two defensive shields were instantly broken into pieces by the lightning bolts and Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning web and swords could only hold the lightning bolts for a moment, before being destroyed as well. The endless amount of lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji and he could no longer withstand any longer. At the instance the shackles of his Heavenly Immortal cultivation was broken, this was the first time he fainted during a tribulation. 108 meridians started to circulate madly and even though Mo Wuji had already passed out, his strength didn¡¯t stop increasing. The sea of consciousness of the unconscious Mo Wuji was constantly expanding and his meridians were opening up as well. As two more lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t even need to do anything as his body absorbed the lightning essence and stabilised his Golden Immortal cultivation. Chapter 493: Advancing Even Without Immortal Lattice Chapter 493: Advancing Even Without Immortal Lattice Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Mo Wuji woke up, the lightning tribulation was over and a bright morning sun shone on Mo Wuji¡¯s body which made him feel extremely comfortable. The moment Mo Wuji felt the vigorous immortal energy and the vast sea of consciousness, he wanted to shout his lungs out in joy. He was a Golden Immortal, a stage where he was over 10 times stronger than a Heavenly Immortal. Previously, he was able to deal with a Golden Immortal when he was only in the Heavenly Immortal Stage was mainly because there were the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth in the Corner of Yong Ying. Also, these experts were unwilling to use the regulation talisman to go to the Corner of Yong Ying. ¡®One wouldn¡¯t be able to advance to the Golden Immortal Stage without condensing the immortal lattice.¡¯ It seemed like this statement was definitely not valid for him. He didn¡¯t condense any immortal lattice using his immortal mortal technique but he was still able to advance like the rest. Mo Wuji contained his urge to shout out loud as he stood up. His clothes were torn to pieces while his face and neck were all filled with terrifying scars from the lightning bolts. While most of his internal injuries were recovering well, the lightning scars on his skin had yet to disappear. However, Mo Wuji knew that he just needed one spiritual circulation in his vitality channel and these lightning scars would disappear immediately. Not only did Mo Wuji not allow the spiritual circulation of his vitality channel to let his scars disappear immediately, he even stopped his vitality channel from healing the rest of the scars on his face and neck. He even intended to change his name or at least wait till he was strong enough before doing anything else. With the mess he created in the Ying Bian City twice, who knew how many people he had offended? More importantly, he even snatched the gourd on the Lifeless Riverbed before he arrived at the Immortal World. While the gourd was lying in his Undying World, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even dare use his spiritual will to scan through it. His intention was to find a safe enough place, install layers and layers of defensive arrays before touching the gourd in his Undying World. The gourd was capable of emitting energy that could cleanse the body spiritually so how could something like this be ordinary? The Immortal World was nothing like the Corner of Yong Ying. With the number of experts here, the moment he revealed a little of this energy, experts might find him and finished him off immediately. After washing up, Mo Wuji changed to a fresh set of clothes. It was only now that he realised how extremely ordinary he looked after advancing into the Golden Immortal Stage. He no longer exuded any tinge of spirituality and if he were to be thrown into a mortal world, no one would be able to tell the difference between an ordinary mortal and himself. "Eh, what a good weapon," A surprised voice could be heard as Mo Wuji saw the young man with fair skin holding on to his Half Moon Halberd Blade from afar. Mo Wuji extended his arm and grabbed his Tian Ji Pole before clasping his fists and said in a polite tone, "Dao friend, the magic treasure in your hands is mine as I accidentally dropped it while I was undergoing my lightning tribulation." Mo Wuji only asked politely because he really didn¡¯t want any troubles. Otherwise, because he had already refined this Half Moon Halberd Blade with three layers of restrictions, he only needed to wave his hand and the Half Moon Halberd Blade would fly back to his hand. The fair skin man¡¯s face turned solemn as his tone became cold and said, "What are you? So whatever broken treasure your old man pick up is yours? Are you even fit to use this?" Just as this man finished his sentence, two more silhouettes flew by and landed not too far from where they were. One of them was a middle-aged man while the other was a young girl. "Young Master, what happened?" The one speaking was the middle-aged man. Because of this middle-aged man, Mo Wuji contained his urge to attack once more. This middle-aged man¡¯s cultivation level was higher than his and Mo Wuji suspected that he should be a Xuan Immortal stage cultivator. Sensing this fella¡¯s aura, he would at most be in the elementary stage of the Xuan Immortal stage. "I, Young Master, picked up an incomplete magic treasure but this fella claimed that it was his. This is the first time I, Gou Xinghao, have met such an arrogant fella, haha¡­" The fair skin man laughed sinisterly. "It would be a good thing if you, Gou Xinghao, are not arrogant so how dare you call someone else arrogant? This was the first time I¡¯ve heard something like that too," Yet another voice was heard and another young man walked over. Mo Wuji felt that this cultivator resembled a person he knew: Hou Yucheng. Hou Yucheng looked slightly nuttier than this fella but Hou Yucheng¡¯s cultivation level should be far away from this young cultivator¡¯s. From Mo Wuji¡¯s judgment, this young fella should be in the Great Circle of the Golden Immortal Stage. Gou Xinghao grunted as he didn¡¯t bother about this nosey young man. "Long time no see, Junior Sister Xi Li," This young man, who just arrived, took the initiative to greet someone from far away after greeting Gou Xinghao sarcastically. Mo Wuji saw the young woman from away and he had a feeling this woman didn¡¯t intend to come over but because the young man called out for her, she had no choice but to come over. She bowed respectfully and said, "Xi Li greets Senior Brother Zhong of the True Cliff Immortal City and Senior Brother Gou of the Blade Scar Mountain." This woman wore a faint blue dress while carrying a long sword on her back. Her entire body seemed to float along the clouds as she strolled over. She looked extremely pretty, gentle and refined in a way that people would always want to get closer to her. The young man laughed out loud and turned to Mo Wuji before saying, "Dao friend here, did Gou Xinghao take your things earlier on? I have intentionally invited Junior Sister Xi Li of the Frosty Immortal Lake to be a witness, to see if this young summit lord of the Blade Scar Mountain likes to seize other people¡¯s items forcefully." Mo Wuji noticed that after Xi Li walked over, Gou Xinghao¡¯s air of arrogance toned down significantly as if he wanted to show the gentlemanly side of him to Xi Li. Even though Mo Wuji had no idea if this cultivator with the surname ¡®Zhong¡¯ from the True Cliff Immortal City wanted to make use of him to attack Gou Xinghao, Mo Wuji still clasped his fist and said, "Mo Xinghe greets fellow Dao friends. Not too long ago, my magic treasure was destroyed by my tribulation and because I was severely injured too, I wasn¡¯t able to keep the loose pieces of my broken magic treasure in time¡­" "Ah, so you claim that this broken piece I picked up here is yours? Do you really think that I, Gou Xinghao, don¡¯t dare to touch you just because a Zhong Zhen from the True Cliff Immortal City spoke up for you?" Gou Xinghao sneered even before Mo Wuji could finish his sentence. Even though he had already guessed that Mo Wuji might not be lying, this incomplete magic treasure that was broken could be considered to be without an owner. The refined spiritual will imprint of a broken magic treasure would naturally be destroyed when the magic treasure was destroyed. Unless Mo Wuji was much stronger than billions of immortal experts, he wouldn¡¯t be worried that Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will imprint would still be on the broken piece. However, he was aware that Mo Wuji only just underwent tribulation and turned into a Golden Immortal cultivator so he didn¡¯t think that a person like himself would be able to place his spiritual will imprint on his broken magic treasure. What he didn¡¯t know was that this incomplete magic treasure was refined solely by Mo Wuji. "Mo Xinghe, how are you going to prove that this incomplete magic treasure is yours?" Zhong Zhen didn¡¯t bother about Gou Xinghao as he questioned Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji replied faintly, "This is my item so there is no need for me to prove anything." Upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Zhong Zhen wasn¡¯t the only one shocked because even Xi Li furrowed her brows without saying anything. She guessed that this Gou Xinghao was adamant on stealing this rogue cultivator¡¯s item but she didn¡¯t expect this rogue cultivator to say something like this. This was simply putting down Zhong Zhen who spoke up for him. From Mo Wuji¡¯s appearance, he should be an extremely poor rogue cultivator. He wasn¡¯t even capable of removing the scars on his face and one must know that it wouldn¡¯t even cost a few immortal crystals to purchase a healing pill. "Haha¡­" Gou Xinghao chuckled. Before he could finish laughing, everyone heard a humming sound and the Half Moon Halberd Blade flew straight into Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. Everyone was stunned and Zhong Zhen reacted the quickest as he laughed and said, "Brother Gou, this item you picked up actually had someone¡¯s else spiritual will imprint. Truly impressive, impressive¡­" After saying this, Zhong Zhen shook his hand and a piece of Heaven and Earth diviner fell to the ground. He bent over dramatically to pick up his diviner and said worriedly, "So close, so close. It was so close to getting picked up by someone. There is a master picker around here so I have to be careful." Gou Xinghao¡¯s face turned extremely ugly and even the calm Xi Li couldn¡¯t help but laugh at Zhong Zhen¡¯s mockery of Gou Xinghao. "I really didn¡¯t expect this Half Moon Halberd Blade to be your incomplete magic treasure. I really like this blade so name a price and I will buy it over from you," Gou Xinghao was really adaptable as he actually approached Mo Wuji to purchase this Half Moon Halberd Blade after it returned to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji placed his Half Moon Halberd Blade straight into his storage ring as he said instinctively, "I won¡¯t sell my item." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Zhong Zhen and said, "Thank you Dao friend for speaking up for justice earlier on." Gou Xinghao sneered as he looked at Mo Wuji with his killer eyes before turning to Xi Li, "After I leave this place, I would like to welcome Junior Sister Xi Li to be a guest at my Blade Scar Mountain. I have something on so I¡¯ll make my move first." After you leave this place? Mo Wuji was astonished. Wasn¡¯t this place the Immortal World? Zhong Zhen noticed that Gou Xinghao had left as he grunted disdainfully before saying to Mo Wuji, "You don¡¯t have to mention it, Dao Friend Mo. Just be careful in the future because this fella brought along a Xuan Immortal fighter with him. Did you enter this place by yourself? I suggest you find a few people to form a group." Could this be a secret realm? After getting out of the Lifeless Riverbed, could he have arrived at the secret realm? Just as Mo Wuji wanted to ask more, an intense explosion from far away was heard and then a dazzling flame shot up into the sky. Zhong Zhen acknowledged both Mo Wuji and Xi Li briefly before hurrying over. "Senior Brother Zhong Zhen was right, you have to be careful on your own," Xi Li hurried to add in this before rushing over too. Mo Wuji wanted to follow over but he suddenly felt an impending threat as he subconsciously retreated. In the next moment, a middle-aged man appeared close to him. "It''s you?" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold as this middle-aged man was the Xuan Immortal following Gou Xinghao. He wasn¡¯t shocked because this fella was in the Xuan Immortal stage but because this fella returned back to his side even without him noticing. "Young boy, you must have obtained a great treasure to be able to undergo your Golden Immortal tribulation here. Hand over your storage ring and then kill yourself. I will allow you to die in one piece," The middle-aged man said coldly. Chapter 494: A Tough Battle Chapter 494: A Tough Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to answer that fella as he drew out his Tian Ji Pole. The Xuan Immortal expert expected Mo Wuji to try to escape the moment he heard his words and then the Xuan Immortal would restrain him the instance he tried to escape. He didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to dare attack him because Mo Wuji was simply a cultivator who just underwent the Golden Immortal tribulation and didn¡¯t even exude any immortal aura. "You couldn¡¯t tell my cultivation level?" This Xuan Immortal finally realised that it must be because Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t tell his cultivation level which was why he had the guts to do what he did. Mo Wuji had already swung his pole towards him, "Stop blabbering and fight me if you want." "Buzz!" A trace of shadow pierced the space apart as it charged towards the Xuan Immortal expert. Mo Wuji merely used 5% of his immortal energy in this attack because he just wanted to test the difference between their strength and if he couldn¡¯t take the difference, he would leave immediately. "What a wild ant," This Xuan Immortal was finally enraged and shot out a white light against Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pole. A lacerating coldness incursed Mo Wuji¡¯s body as an immense amount of immortal energy followed and sent Mo Wuji flying. Seeing how Mo Wuji was sent flying by a simple stroke of his hand, this Xuan Immortal laughed coldly as he felt that Mo Wuji should be able to feel the difference in strength now. One must know that he didn¡¯t even use his immortal domain and that the ravine between a Golden Immortal and a Xuan Immortal could not be filled up by courage alone. He had never seen a Golden Immortal being able to hold up against a Xuan Immortal even if he was only at the elementary Xuan Immortal stage. The Mo Wuji that was sent flying was actually calm because he knew that there was a slight difference in strength between the Xuan Immortal cultivator and himself but he was clear that the difference was not very significant. He could even find an opportunity to finish him off and his best bet at winning this battle was to let the opponent believe that he had collapsed in one blow. "Small boy, go and die," This Xuan Immortal didn¡¯t even wait for Mo Wuji to land on the floor as he took a step over and enveloped Mo Wuji with his tremendously strong Xuan immortal domain. A Silver Dragon Shovel emitting cold radiance brought along large deathly radiance which wrapped around the immortal domain as well as blocked off Mo Wuji¡¯s escape route. He had to end this battle as soon as possible because if Zhong Zhen were to find out about how he went back to kill someone for a treasure, it would be a serious damage to the reputation of the Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s young master. When Mo Wuji sensed the boundless Xuan Immortal domain on its way to restrain him as well as the large cold radiance covering the sky, he shut his eyes instead. At this moment, he could clearly feel the damage he would suffer from this attack. This Xuan Immortal was evidently trying to kill him so desperately that his attacks covered all four directions, sealing up any possible routes of escape for Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief because although it seemed like the opponent was giving his all in this all directional attack on him, he was actually still underestimating Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji might be only an elementary Golden Immortal stage expert but he wasn¡¯t someone a Xuan Immortal could restrain so casually. Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal domain didn¡¯t break out while the killing intent within the Xuan Immortal¡¯s immortal domain was seen clearly by Mo Wuji. In fact, he could even sense the inch long blade hidden within the large shovel radiance. The long blade was the Xuan Immortal¡¯s true lethal tactic. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t manage to dodge the Silver Dragon Shovel radiance, the hidden blade would not be activated but the moment he managed to dodge the radiance, this blade would act like a poisonous snake within his Xuan Immortal domain. The Xuan Immortal cultivator grew suspicious as he saw the blade radiance of his Silver Dragon Shovel almost tearing Mo Wuji apart. Logically, no matter how weak Mo Wuji was, he should have some reaction when facing an overwhelming attack like this. However, why was Mo Wuji not reacting at all? Even if he had already restrained the opponent with his domain, Mo Wuji could have struggled a little too. Something was definitely not right¡­ Just as the Xuan Immortal thought about this, Mo Wuji made his move. The whirlpool domain which Mo Wuji had been storing for a long time broke out violently and at this moment, not only did he not dodge the overwhelming Silver Dragon Shovel radiance, he took a step forward and let out a punch. After sensing that Mo Wuji had made his move, this Xuan Immortal was more surprised than shocked because he initially thought that Mo Wuji had some tricks up his sleeves but he was only trying to garner energy... However, his pleasant surprise was cut off almost instantaneously as he realised his Xuan immortal domain was unable to contain Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. In fact, Mo Wuji was even able to move freely as if the domain had no effects on him. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s own domain was like a series of crazily wild waves. Was this really the domain of a mere Golden Immortal? "Boom!" The domains clashed and an intense surge of pressure was felt when the Xuan Immortal finally understood. He understood that this small Golden Immortal cultivator didn¡¯t exert his full force previously and that this was a true display of his strength. While he still didn¡¯t take Mo Wuji too seriously, he used his spiritual will to activate the concealed blade of the Silver Dragon Shovel. The originally long blade suddenly erupted, turned into a 100 feet blade scar as it charged towards Mo Wuji. Sharp killing intent filled the entire blade and it emitted an aura which felt like it was about to pierce through everything in its way. No matter how strong Mo Wuji¡¯s domain was, he would turn into ashes under an attack like this. "Bang! Kaka!" A burning hot energy rushed out of Mo Wuji¡¯s domain and transformed into a space path. No, it was a flaming space path. After activating his blade scar, this Xuan Immortal was dumbfounded. Mo Wuji¡¯s fist brought along a fist domain and as it combined with the heavenly fire domain, he was completely trapped by this attack. Of course, he still had his Xuan Immortal domain but during the clash of the two domains, his domain managed to force Mo Wuji¡¯s fist domain out. This was when the Xuan Immortal realised that this was the opponent¡¯s hidden killing tactic. The Golden Immortal cultivator he was currently facing was definitely not an ordinary Golden Immortal or a Golden Immortal who just came out of tribulation. "Blade scar, erupt!" The Xuan Immortal finally realised his mistake in underestimating Mo Wuji because if he didn¡¯t underestimate him from the onstart, he would be able to finish him off without suffering any injuries. Presently, under the attack of Mo Wuji¡¯s terrifying fist domain, he would be injured even if he managed to dodge it. "Puff!" This Xuan Immortal did his best to shift his body but Mo Wuji¡¯s fist still managed to break his body armour and struck against his waist. Bones cracking sounds could be heard and this Xuan Immortal cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood as his knees fell on the ground. Most of his internal organs felt like they were above an intense fire as if they were about to disintegrate into fine powder. Ever since he started cultivating, he had never suffered something so severe. Just at the moment Mo Wuji¡¯s fist managed to do some serious damage to the Xuan Immortal, the several foot long blade scar exploded and turned into hundreds of blade radiance. These immense blade scar energy trapped Mo Wuji and tore his whirlpool domain apart before pinning him to the ground. If not for his Tian Ji Pole blocking off the huge Silver Dragon Shovel radiance, Mo Wuji could have already been in pieces. Mo Wuji spat out several droplets of blood and managed to sit up forcefully. He knew that he was still not strong enough and if he was slightly stronger, he would release another spatial imprisonment the moment he released his fist domain. No matter how strong the opponent was, once he was restrained by his spatial imprisonment and then had to suffer the wrath of his fist domain, his body would definitely be broken into pieces. He was fully aware that if his spiritual will was not strong enough, the power of his fist domain would be decreased when he executed both spatial imprisonment and fist domain concurrently. His judgement wasn¡¯t wrong because the opponent¡¯s body was still intact even though he managed to garner all is force behind that fist domain earlier on. Evidently, this person¡¯s body was much tougher than his and after experiencing the lightning tribulation, Mo Wuji was resolute in cultivating a skill to toughen his body. "Keke!" The Xuan Immortal stood up, cough a few times before his eyes turned cold as he glared at Mo Wuji. "I have indeed underestimated you. I can¡¯t believe a mere Golden Immortal like you almost defeated me. Impressive, truly impressive¡­" This Xuan Immortal cultivator slowly walked over to Mo Wuji as every step brought along a deathly aura. Every step he took towards Mo Wuji would imply that Mo Wuji was a step closer to his death. Mo Wuji grabbed a few healing pills to swallow because his injuries were more severe than the opponent. He could only rely on his vitality channel because as long as his vitality channel could heal his injuries fast enough, he would still have a chance at survival. "Die in front of me. Because you almost killed me, I will expose how strong you secretly was after you die¡­" The Xuan Immortal cultivator raised his hand as he was only a foot away from Mo Wuji. At this moment, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even get on his feet like a dead fish on a chopping board. Mo Wuji raised his hand as well and formed a mysterious orbit before saying with a hoarse voice, "I didn¡¯t almost kill you, I have definitely killed you¡­" The Xuan Immortal suddenly sensed something and even though the sky was bright and shiny, he felt cold. The space around them seemed to have changed and he could feel an impending doom within a confined space. It can¡¯t be good, this small Golden Immortal ant still had killing methods. Presently, this Xuan Immortal cultivator couldn¡¯t care more about his injuries as he focused all his immortal energy to aid his escape. However, before he could even do anything, he felt a sense of helplessness as a deathly energy restrained him causing difficulties in his breathing. Fear grew in his eyes as he couldn¡¯t figure out what kind of mysterious technique was this. At this moment, his spiritual roots started to tear apart and his sea of consciousness crumbled. "Puff!" Mo Wuji finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore as he spat out blood once more. He felt extremely dizzy and it was almost like he had swallowed a dead mouse as he felt extremely nauseous. "Bang!" The Xuan Immortal cultivator standing opposite Mo Wuji finally dropped to the ground and even his primordial spirit was crushed by the deathly energy of that terrifying space. Chapter 495: Not Enough Chapter 495: Not Enough Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji continued to swallow some healing pills; an intense sense of weakness inundated him. In his heart, he was calling, "Impressive!" He wasn''t referring to this Xuan Immortal in front of him, but his Wheel of Life and Death. He even suspected that if he had used the Wheel of Life and Death first, instead of his Domain Smashing Fist, this battle would have ended much sooner. However, Mo Wuji soon denied this idea; such a method was too risky. The Wheel of Life and Death was indeed very impressive, but if his opponent was far stronger than him, even with his vitality channel, he might face the strong rebound of the Wheel of Life and Death. He did not fear the rebound of the Wheel of Life and Death; after all, he had the vitality channel, so he wouldn''t die so easily. But the critical thing was, the moment he got struck with the rebound, his combat power would be severely affected, and he would not be able to fight his opponent on equal terms. Thus, the Wheel of Life and Death could only be used as an absolute measure, not as some battle technique. After depleting all his energy to kill this Xuan Immortal, Mo Wuji rested for a single minute before he struggled to stand up. He picked up this Xuan Immortal''s storage ring, then lifted his palm to send a ball of fire towards this Xuan Immortal, burning him to ash. Thereafter, he swiftly left this location. Currently, he was heavily injured; even the most ordinary of cultivator would be able to kill him. Half an incense''s time later, Mo Wuji found a grey and sandy patch of land, and immediately entered his Undying World. The Undying World transformed into a grain of sand and blended into the surrounding. Ever since he obtained the purple gouud, besides escaping for his life, Mo Wuji also passed his tribulation and even went through a life and death battle. Thus, up till now, he hadn''t gotten the chance to go to his Undying World to take a look. The purple gourd was still in his Undying World. What left Mo Wuji relieved, was that the energy from the purple gourd did not seem to be leaked. Mo Wuji did not dare to touch this purple goud as he hurriedly went to install a few seals around it. Only after doing all this, did he finally start on his recovery. Mo Wuji¡¯s main injury was from that blade light that came when that blade scar split apart. Not only did that Xuan Immortal¡¯s blade light contain a sort of tearing energy, it also encompassed a bone-penetrating killing intent. If not for Mo Wuji having the vitality channel, he might not even have the chance to use his Wheel of Life and Death. He guessed that the blade scar should be related to this Blade Scar Mountain. If a mere house attendant had such a sharp blade scar attack, then if it was the Summit Lord of Blade Scar Mountain, then wouldn¡¯t he be killed with a simple lift of a hand? At this instant, Mo Wuji could only hope that everything would turn out for the best. The Summit Lord wouldn¡¯t specially hunt him down for a mere house attendant right? ¡­ Thousands of miles from where Mo Wuji was healing, at least hundreds of people were gathering around a round-shaped tombstone. The tombstone emanated an intense killing intent. Not far from the tombstone, there were several corpses of Golden Immortals. Ostensibly, they hadn¡¯t been dead for long. "Everyone, wait. This tombstone might be the memorial tablet of the Lifeless Dao Sect¡¯s sect heads. The strongest among us only has a cultivation of the Xuan Immortal Stage. If we continue to force our way through, by the time the Lifeless Secret Domain closes, we still might not be able to open it. Thus, I suggest that everyone uses another method of breaking through this place." A handsome youth in brown robes stood forward, clasped his fists to the surrounding cultivators and said in a clear voice. "I agree with Senior Brother Qiao¡¯s word. We should not do things by force." "Senior Brother Qiao is one of the Ten Great Xuan Immortal Experts of our Yong Ying, and is also a Six Star Genius of One Sword Sect. Thus, I also believe that we should let Senior Brother Qiao lead us. Otherwise, we would only be a pile of loose sand." ¡­ This brown robed youth¡¯s words instantly incited the support from many of the cultivators. Thereafter, he motioned for the crowd to quieten down before he continued, "Many thanks for all of immortal friends¡¯ support. Since that¡¯s the case, then I, Qiao Zhongyan, wouldn¡¯t dally any further. Now, may all immortal friends that are experts in arrays please step forward. All immortal friends in the Xuan Immortal Stage please step forward as well¡­" In the corner of the crowd, Gou Xinghao frowned slightly. He looked in a particular direction, and after some time, he said discontentedly, "Exactly what¡¯s going on with Hong Qi? Just a small matter but he still isn¡¯t back." The young girl beside him hurriedly said, "That Golden Immortal should have some fleeing methods. Perhaps Manager Hong went to chase after him, so he isn¡¯t able to come back immediately." "Send him a message. Get him to hurry back. Otherwise, the moment this place opens, we wouldn¡¯t be able to get much. That ant¡­ we can take care of him later," Gou Xinghao snorted coldly. "Yes, young master." The young girl lifted her hand and sent a message. "Eh, isn¡¯t this Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s trash-picking Young Master Gou? There are many people here, so you would need to pay close attention. Perhaps, if someone drops something, you might be able to pick it up." Gou Xinghao¡¯s most hated voice sounded. "Zhong Zhen, your True Cliff Immortal City is merely a mid grade immortal city. My Blade Scar Mountain doesn¡¯t have to be scared of you." Seeing Zhong Zhen walk over, Gou Xinghao snorted angrily. Zhong Zhen sneered, "Gou Xinghao, don¡¯t think that the rest of us don¡¯t know about your shady business. This is a grand matter of unsealing a treasure, yet your Hong Qi isn¡¯t here. Hehe, don¡¯t tell me you went to kill that newly-transcended Golden Immortal?" "Young master, there¡¯s no reply." By Gou Xinghao¡¯s side, that young girl suddenly uttered; her voice was filled with slight anxiety. Gou Xinghao couldn¡¯t be bothered about Zhong Zhen; he immediately sent out a flying messenger sword. However, a few instants later, his face turned ugly; he felt that his flying messenger sword was not able to find its target and it got destroyed. In this Lifeless Secret Domain, the reason why the flying messenger sword wasn¡¯t able to find its target definitely wasn¡¯t due to the fact that the distance was too far. The only possibility was that the target had disappeared. "That¡¯s impossible." Gou Xinghao shouted angrily. From his perspective, that ¡®Mo Xinghe¡¯ was merely a Golden Immortal that just passed his tribulation. No matter how impressive he was, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to kill Hong Qi. Just as Gou Xinghao shouted, a sharp spiritual will landed on him; that spiritual will contained a hint of stern warning. Gou Xinghao instantly jolted, and immediately calmed himself. Even though he was not bad, when compared to the Qiao Zhongyan who just used spiritual will on him, he was nothing more than an ant. Just a simple elder from this fella¡¯s One Sword Sect would be enough to eradicate his Blade Scar Mountain. ¡­ As he hid in his Undying World, Mo Wuji continuously got nourished by his vitality channel, and gradually, his injuries diasppeared. Towards the end, all the immortal elemental energy within his 108 meridians flowed with power, causing a sense of control to fill his mind. Mo Wuji opened his eyes; his cultivation had risen really quickly. By now, he was already used to getting much stronger every time he recovered. After that battle with that Xuan Immortal, Mo Wuji¡¯s self-perception had improved tremendously. Not only did he know that his power was still slightly weaker compared to a Xuan Immortal, he also knew of his deficiencies. Even though he had always used various sorts of physical tempering methods, he was still far from being an expert. That Xuan Immortal was merely an ordinary cultivator at the elementary Xuan Immortal Stage, but he was almost killed. If it was a slightly stronger Xuan Immortal, he wouldn¡¯t even have been able to put up a fight. Secondly, he felt that his spiritual will was still not strong enough. Compared to other cultivators in the same stage, his spiritual will was indeed much stronger. However, his strength came from his pill refining, his usual tempering and his own Immortal Mortal Technique. Such strength was limited; if he met a much stronger cultivator, his strength wouldn¡¯t even be worth mentioning. In fact, he might not even gain the advantage when pitted against genius cultivators in the same stage. Thus, besides finding a way to strength his fleshly body, he needed a method to train his spiritual will. Thereafter, Mo Wuji took out that Xuan Immortal¡¯s storage ring. This was his first time obtaining a Xuan Immortal¡¯s ring, so his heart was filled with anticipation. With Mo Wuji¡¯s proficiency with arrays, the seals within this storage ring were easily broken. Instantly, he was greeted by piles of immortal herbs. Most of them were Tier 2 and Tier 3 immortal herbs, while there were some Tier 4 herbs. Against expectations, there weren¡¯t many high grade immortal crystals; only a few tens of thousands. This left Mo Wuji feeling a bit of disdain; a Xuan Immortal actually wasn¡¯t even as rich as him. Other than that, there were some smithing materials and some average immortal equipment. Mo Wuji disappointedly kept that storage ring. If not for that pile of immortal herbs, that Xuan Immortal might as well be a beggar. After arranging all those herbs in his own ring, Mo Wuji added additional seals around the gourd¡¯s opening. At the same time, he installed a concealment array around the gourd. Only then, did he leave his Undying World. Now, he really needed to find another person and get answers. Exactly what was this place? Or more accurately, what secret domain was this? The only thing was, he wasn¡¯t able to directly ask these questions. If he did, the other person would definitely know that his origins were shady. "Boom!" Another violent explosion could be heard; Mo Wuji stared curiously at where the explosion came from. A few days ago, that same place had such an explosion. He never expected that another explosion would occur within a few days. However, Mo Wuji did not intend to go over. He had killed a Xuan Immortal from Blade Scar Mountain, so his priority now was to find out how to leave this place. Just at this instant, a majestic aura, similar to that from his Half Moon Halberd, flooded out. Mo Wuji could feel it even though he was so far away. "Boom!" An even more berserk explosion resounded, and a burst of immortal spiritual energy erupted from the ground. Mo Wuji, who originally did not intend to go over, was now speeding over. Chapter 496: Help Me Marry A Woman Chapter 496: Help Me Marry A Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji stopped; in front of him was an opened tomb. The tombstone had been tossed aside and there were more than ten corpses outside the tomb; no one else could be seen. Rich immortal spiritual energy was surging out from the entrance. Even though Mo Wuji was the latest to arrive, he could tell that this tomb wasn''t simple. After hesitating for a few breaths, Mo Wuji directly entered the tomb. An inclined path that was a few meters wife appeared in front of Mo Wuji. If he did not know that this was a tombstone, Mo Wuji might have even thought that he was on a wide, sloping road. Mo Wuji hastened his pace, and in half an incense''s time, he arrived at a small scale plaza. There were at least ten statues erected around the plaza; there was a tablet in front each of the statues, and huge words were inscribed on the tablets. Also, around the plaza, there were at least ten pathways. After scanning them with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji could only tell that each pathway led to an unfathomable depth; from the looks of it, this was like an underground maze. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on the biggest statue. On its tablet, there was a name, "Lifeless Emperor", as well as some records of what the Lifeless Emperor did as the progenitor of the Lifeless Dao Sect. According to these records, Mo Wuji could tell that the Lifeless Dao Sect was started along the Lifeless River. That means to say, the Lifeless River was even older than the Lifeless Dao Sect. Mo Wuji wasn''t really interested in the other stories inscribed on the tablets. As for the other statues, he merely scanned through them before he picked a pathway and swiftly left this plaza. The further he went along the path, the narrower it got. A few signs of battle could be seen, and he even found a corpse with its brains smashed in. "Boom!" A deep-sounding impact resounded by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Mo Wuji subconsciously took a step back and he soon discovered that there was merely a stone wall beside him. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on the stone wall, but he found that his spiritual will was completely unable to penetrate it. "Boom! Boom!" Another two hollow impacts could be heard. Following which, a crack actually formed in the wall. Mo Wuji saw it in an instant; it was no crack, but the seams of a stone gate. Because of the two¡¯s battle, the stone gate had been blasted open. From the looks of it, he was late. These pathways should have several stone gates at its center. However, because he had come late, he didn¡¯t know of that. With what seemed like his fastest speed, Mo Wuji rushed into that crack. "Pff!" The moment Mo Wuji entered this stone room, he was welcomed by the spray of blood. Mo Wuji¡¯s body flashed slightly as he avoided that blood spray. The moment he landed on the ground, the stone gate had closed itself, and a corpse fell on the floor. From the looks of it, a victor had been decided between the two. Mo Wuji did not care about the corpse on the floor; instead, he turned his attention to the cultivator that attained victory. Instantly, he was shocked; this fella actually resembled him; perhaps up to a 90% similarity. If not for the lightning scars on his face and neck, this similarity would be even higher. If this wasn¡¯t the Immortal World, he would have even thought that this fella was his long lost brother. Mo Wuji subconsciously stroked his own face; by now, his appearance no longer had any difference to the one he had back on Earth. "Crash!!" This cultivator did not seem to escape without heavy injuries as he collapsed heavily onto the ground. He was the same as Mo Wuji, his eyes were staring dead towards Mo Wuji and his face was plastered with shock. He seemed to be in a state of disbelief at the extreme likeness between him and Mo Wuji. "Who are you?" The collapsed cultivator asked with a hoarse voice. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Who I am isn¡¯t important. The important thing is, if you don¡¯t heal yourself soon, you wouldn¡¯t be able to survive." Mo Wuji knew that this fella¡¯s injuries were devastating; if he were the one with such heavy injuries, it would also be enough to choke him. After saying that simple sentence, Mo Wuji started to examine this stone room. In the stone room, there was a shrine, and a stone table. That was all. "There¡¯s no need to see, there¡¯s nothing else here¡­" As he saw Mo Wuji scanning the area, the collapsed cultivator said grudgingly. Even if this cultivator didn¡¯t say anything, Mo Wuji could tell that there was nothing here, and that shrine and stone table did not have any signs that they had been touched. Even though he didn¡¯t understand why these two cultivators would fight even though there was nothing, he also knew that this wasn¡¯t his business. "Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m leaving." With that, Mo Wuji turned. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to save this fella that looked very much like him; but it was because this fella truly couldn¡¯t be saved. At a single glance, he could tell that this fella¡¯s spirit channels had been ruptured, and his sea of consciousness damaged. Even if Mo Wuji wanted to save him, he would have to exert all his effort and even use his own vitality channel and spirit storage channel. He didn¡¯t even know this person, so he wouldn¡¯t put in all his efforts to save a stranger in a dangerous situation like this. He, Mo Wuji, was no saint. Moreover, if it was someone else, he would have used this opportunity to rob this fella. He was already kind enough to not do that. "Wait wait!" The moment the fallen cultivator saw Mo Wuji leaving, he beckoned for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji stopped and said, "Your injuries are very serious. The pills I have would be completely useless on you, so asking me to wait would not be able to save you." The cultivator shook his head, "I¡¯m not asking for you to save me; I also know that I¡¯m going to die soon. Even if the Immortal Emperor was here, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save me. Not only are my sea of consciousness and spirit channels damaged, my primordial spirit is also starting to collaspe. I only want to ask you for some help¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji frown, this cultivator hurriedly explained, "I have something here. See if it¡¯s useful to you. If it is, you can take it¡­" As he spoke, this cultivator struggled to take out a jade box. Mo Wuji extended his arm and the jade box landed in his palm. He opened the jade box and found that there was only an ancient map within it; the map was slightly blurred and only a few rough locations could be seen. This thing was completely useless to him. Just as Mo Wuji was about to throw this map back to this fallen cultivator, he suddenly noticed a bead drawn on the bottom corner of the map, and there were even three words written below it - Wood Elemental Bead. "This is a map that shows previous locations of the Wood Elemental Bead¡­ If it¡¯s useful to you, then help me with something. If it isn¡¯t, then, then¡­" This cultivator seemed to want to say ¡®forget it¡¯, but his matter seemed very important to him, so he wasn¡¯t able to utter those words. Mo Wuji carefully placed the map back into the jade box and said, "You¡¯re not afraid that I will take this map and leave?" A trail of blood seeped out of the corner of this cultivator¡¯s mouth; he struggled to laugh, "You shouldn¡¯t be that kind of person. If you were such a person, you would have just killed me and taken my storage ring away." "This map is useful to me. Tell me, what do you want my help with." Mo Wuji kept the jade box, and at the same time, he took out an imaging crystal ball. If not for this fella¡¯s severe injuries, to the point where his primordial spirit was collapsing, Mo Wuji would have tried to save him. "My name is Yan Ye, my grandfather, Yan Qi, is the patriarch of the Yan Clan. My grandfather has seven sons, and my father, Yan Yechang, is the eldest son. My mother¡­" Mo Wuji cut off Yan Ye¡¯s words, "Dao Friend Yan, I suggest that you tell me directly what you need help with. Don¡¯t waste your tieme like this. Even if you don¡¯t tell me about your family situation, I would still help you. The premise is, it must be within my means. If I¡¯m unable to do, there¡¯s nothing I can do, no matter what you say." To Mo Wuji, as long as he had the ability to do it, he would definitely help with this promise. But if he was unable to do it, even if this Yan Ye spoke with extravagant embellishments, he would simply remain aloof. "I know." Yan Ye¡¯s voice had gotten weaker, "I want you to use my identity, to go to the Yan Clan for three months. After the three months, you can go anywhere you like¡­ Mo Wuji startled, impersonate Yan Ye? He immediately thought of his current identity; he didn¡¯t really have a specific identity, so he should be able to do this. As Yan Ye saw Mo Wuji remain silent, he continued, "After leaving this Lifeless Secret Domain, I will be marrying Ji Clan¡¯s proud daughter, Ji Yue. I just need your help with this matter¡­" The moment Mo Wuji heard Yan Ye¡¯s words, he immediately knew that this matter was impossible, "Sorry, I¡¯m truly unable to help you with this matter. It¡¯s okay for me to impersonate you, but I can¡¯t marry that Ji whatever on your behalf. But if there¡¯s anything else, just say it. Oh right, this is the Lifeless Secret Domain? How did this secret domain appear, and how long? And when can I get out?" When Yan Ye heard the front part of Mo Wuji¡¯s reply, he did not find anything out of the ordinary. However, the moment he heard the later part, he was momentarily stunned. This Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even know the name of this secret domain, how did he manage to enter? "Oh, I came from somewhere else, and I accidentally entered this place." Mo Wuji did not bother lying to Yan Ye. Since the other party was dying, there was no way this fella could expose his secret. "That¡¯s even better. You can leave while borrowing my identity. Without an identity token, you would undoubtedly die¡­" As Yan Ye spoke, he pointed to his storage ring, "My identity token is in here." "Many thanks, but I¡¯m still unable to help you," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said sincerely. Yan Ye hurriedly said, "I¡¯m not asking you to truly marry Ji Yue, I just need you to help her. With this method, she would be able to leave the Ji Clan. Once she marries into the Yan Clan, she can leave by herself." Seeing the warmth and love in Yan Ye¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji came to a realisation. This thing called ¡®feelings¡¯ was a simple thing; this fella liked Ji Yue, so he was willing to get used by Ji Yue. Using this method, he would help Ji Yue leave the Ji Clan, then he would let Ji Yue go. "The Ji Clan owes my father a clan-saving favour. I used this favour to ask for Ji Yue¡¯s hand in marriage, the Ji Clan had to agree¡­" Yan Ye stopped and started to pant heavily. Mo Wuji knew that a clan-saving favour was; it was the debt of gratitude when one saved an entire clan. For such a favour, there was no need to talk about a simple woman, even if he asked for more, the Ji Clan would still oblige. He grabbed a few pills and sent them into Yan Ye¡¯s mouth. As he waited for Yan Ye to catch his breath, he said, "You used your father¡¯s clan-saving favour, just to help a woman?" Yan Ye sighed, "My parents are no longer here. My situation is rather complicated, and it¡¯s hard to explain. Mo Wuji suddenly felt that he had fallen into a huge quagmire. His mind instantly cleared up, he stared at Yan Ye and said, "Yan Ye, tell me honestly. That cultivator killed by you, wasn¡¯t able to injure you so heavily, right? Much less damage your sea of consciousness, and collapse your primordial spirit? If you continue to lie to me, I will leave immediately." Chapter 497: I’m Not Carrying This Burden Chapter 497: I¡¯m Not Carrying This Burden Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A hint of guilt flashed across Yan Ye¡¯s eyes; he immediately said, "I have indeed been poisoned. Someone didn¡¯t want Ji Yue to marry into the Yan Clan, so he acted against me. The person who I just killed, was someone that had been secretly following me¡­" Mo Wuji took a step forward and grabbed Yan Ye¡¯s wrist. With a circulation of his detoxification channel, he could instantly tell that this fella wasn¡¯t lying. As the detoxification channel continued to circulate, it almost swept Yan Ye¡¯s poison away. However, Mo Wuji promptly stopped it. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want to save Yan Ye, but because this poison was too terrifying. If this poison had been administered on him, he would be able to easily expel it. However, the poison had been residing in Yan Ye for too long, and it had actually infiltrated into his primordial spirit. With his detoxification channel, he had no means of separating the poison from the primordial spirit, at least with his current cultivation. Thus, if Mo Wuji were to circulate the poison away, Yan Ye¡¯s primordial spirit would instantly suffer the same fate as the poison; it would be converted into the purest form of spiritual energy and get absorbed by Mo Wuji. Seeing Mo Wuji release his hand, Yan Ye said sincerely, "Ji Yue is very pitiable. I beg that you help me; as long as she can marry into the Yan Clan, there won''t be any further danger. Moreover, this Lifeless Secret Domain is going to end soon. The moment they know that I manage to come out alive, they definitely wouldn''t dare to act against me again." Mo Wuji''s face had turned slightly unsightly; he was sure that this Ji Yue was no good woman. She clearly knew that Yan Ye liked her, but she was willing to make use of Yan Ye and his clan-saving favour just to save herself. And if that wasn''t enough, she had put Yan Ye in danger. Just like how it stands now, Yan Ye was merely an incense''s time away from death. Mo Wuji did not believe that the Ji Clan was without reason when they didn''t want Ji Yue to leave. Regardless of this reason, Ji Yue should not have placed this burden on Yan Ye. As he stared at the dying Yan Ye, Mo Wuji was a little speechless. It could be said that people are pitiful because of their own faults; this fella had been used, and he was even going to lose his life, but he was still bent on that woman. Moreover, as for Yan Ye''s words about how no one would act against him once Ji Yue married into the Yan Clan, Mo Wuji didn''t believe a single word of it. Even if it was true, he still wouldn''t believe it. "Dao Friend Yan Ye, I''m unable to help you. But I do need to borrow your identity token. As for Ji Yue, if I have the chance, I would pass her this message: to go and find some other clan to marry into. Anyway, I''m not going to marry her, nor will I carry this burden." When Yan Ye saw Mo Wuji''s attitude, he signed and sank into silence. After some time, he shakingly brought his ring up, "The cultivation resources in the ring¡­ I have to trouble you to pass it to my sister, Yan Yi¡­" Mo Wuji sneered, "You have a sister, but you''re still crazily following your own whims to help some unrelated woman. I really take my hat off to you. However, I''m able to help you with this." "My sister is already married, there''s someone taking care of her¡­" Yan Ye''s voice tapered off; he did not even finish this sentence before he crashed onto the ground. Even if Mo Wuji didn''t agree to his request, he still wouldn''t have been able to push any further; the venom had acted and his primordial spirit had collapsed. Mo Wuji carefully kept the imaging crystal ball; he would need to be careful with this sort of thing. If he ever got discovered, his words would not suffice compared to some hard evidence. Yan Ye''s ring was easily opened by Mo Wuji. Inside, besides some immortal crystals, there were some immortal herbs, and a few immortal equipment. Even the immortal equipment were not bad, Mo Wuji didn''t care much for them. He then took out a jade token and the name inscribed on it; he instantly knew that this was the jade token Yan Ye used to enter the Lifeless Secret Domain. After placing the jade token into his own ring, Mo Wuji kept Yan Ye''s storage ring. Even though there were many questions that Yan Ye didn''t manage to answer, Mo Wuji managed to get a rough understanding of the situation; this was indeed a secret domain, and its name was Lifeless Secret Domain. Mo Wuji blasted the stone door open. Then, he carefully felt the direction where rich spiritual energy was coming from. Just as he was about to continue, he heard a flurry of violent impacts from the depths. Mo Wuji immediately noticed a sort of spatial collapse in the distance; but before he could see what happened, he saw a couple of figures swiftly fleeing outwards. Something happened in the tomb. Mo Wuji did not think twice as he turned and charged towards the entrance. He had come late; the treasure that was in here had already been taken, causing this spatial collapse. He didn¡¯t even manage to get anything but he had actually been placed in such danger; the more he thought of this, the more depressed he felt. Fortunately, he was furthest from the core. Thus, while he was the last to enter, he was the first to leave. Mo Wuji soon reached the entrance, and he immediately charged out. This tomb was no simple place. As an expert on arrays, Mo Wuji naturally knew that the spatial collapse wasn¡¯t due to a simple defensive array; instead, it was an actual killing machine. The moment he got caught in the spatial array, even if his powers were multiplied by another hundred times, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. He didn¡¯t know how many people entered this tomb, but there was one thing that Mo Wuji was sure off: if 20 to 30% of those people could escape, it would already be extremely fortunate. Mo Wuji fled continuously; he only stopped after a few hours. As he ran, he only saw vestiges of immortal herbs that had already been dug out. Occasionally, he would see one or two immortal herbs, but they were the lowest of tiers, and Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t really interested in them. Clearly, most of the immortal herbs here had already been harvested. Mo Wuji did not continue searching for immortal herbs. Since this was the Lifeless Dao Sect¡¯s secret domain, most of the treasures here would probably have already been taken away. As for immortal herbs, he had a few Tier 4 immortal herbs on him, so he could try concocting a few Tier 4 Immortal Pills. The moment he concocted a Tier 4 Immortal Pill, it would mean that he had advanced into the Immortal Pill King Stage. Hanging the identity token by his side, Mo Wuji casually found a relatively concealed location to dig an immortal cave. There, he would prepare himself to charge into the Pill King Stage as he waited for this secret domain to end. ¡­ Lifeless River. This was previously one of the most famous rivers in the Immortal World. However, at this moment, it was like a piece of broken cloth, messily lying in the midst of several mountain ranges. There was no longer a single drop of water of the Lifeless Riverbed; only dilapidated scars could be seen. The vast and boundless Lifeless River, had now been flattened to form a huge, temporary plaza. At all four corners of the plaza, there were temporary encampments of various sects, clans and immortal cities. Additionally, there were also encampments of many merchant unions. Several cultivators in the plaza were staring at the spatial ripples. Some of them murmured softly, "Looks like the Lifeless Dao Sect¡¯s secret domain is terminating soon." "What Lifeless Dao Sect, that sect no longer exists. This secret domain belongs to everyone, not the Lifeless Dao Sect," Another cultivator immediately rebuted. "No matter what you say, this secret domain did, indeed, belong to the Lifeless Dao Sect. And even though it has been dried out, we are still standing on the Lifeless River," The cultivator, that had been retorted, said unhappily. "Lifeless River? Keke, this place is now an owner-less land. It¡¯s said that there is still a section of the Lifeless River in the Corner of Yong Ying, but as for the Lifeless Dao Sect, if not for the fact that this place has become an Immortal-Degenerate Land, it would have long been occupied by some other sect. As the two cultivators were arguing, a faint and weak light appeared from within the spatial ripples. Following which, several cultivators were transported out from that light. The moment these cultivators appeared, they were immediately surrounded. ¡­ Mo Wuji had expended a good half of his immortal pills, but he had just been able to concoct a batch of Tier 4 Immortal Pills. Just at this moment, he felt his identity token start to tremble. Looks like the secret domain is terminating; Mo Wuji hurriedly kept his pill furnace and left his immortal cave. In just a few breaths, the identity token started to radiate a faint light which enveloped and brought Mo Wuji away. "Bang!" The moment Mo Wuji¡¯s two feet landed on the ground, he started to surveil his surroundings with his spiritual will. He was now on a dried out river, and this riverbed seemed to have been flattened to form a temporary plaza. On this plaza, there were several sects, clans, and even merchant unions. In the shortest time possible, Mo Wuji made sense of the situation; this place should be the entrance and exit of the secret domain. These sects and clans had formed their encampments here; besides welcoming their disciples and clan members, they were also here to purchase and trade immortal herbs. Just as Mo Wuji was prepared to search his Yan Clan encampment, he heard a cold voice, "Mo Xinghe, I didn¡¯t expect for your life to be so long. You¡¯re actually still alive." This fella again; Mo Wuji cursed in his heart. So many people died within the tomb, why wasn¡¯t this fella one of them? As he thought about the power of that spatial collapse, Mo Wuji could not help but praise this Gou Xinghao¡¯s luck. "Tell me, where¡¯s Hong Qi?" Gou Xinghao walked in front of Mo Wuji; his voice was icy cold. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Is this Hong Qi a dog or a cat? How the fart is this my business?" "Yan Ye, what happened to your face¡­" An astonished voice cried; following which, a young man walked over. "Yan Ye? You¡¯re not Mo Xinghe? You¡¯re from the Yan Clan?" Gou Xinghao who was about to erupt immediately suppressed his anger. A mere rogue cultivator wouldn¡¯t even be in the eyes of his Blade Scar Mountain, but it would be troublesome if this Mo Xinghe was from the Yan Clan. The Yan Clan was no weaker than Blade Scar Mountain; they were both with Immortal Kings in them. Mo Wuji purposely revealed a pained expression, "I met with a lightning lake inside. I was picking some immortal herbs but I got injured by the lightning lake." However, at this instant, he his heart was filled with anxiety. Who was this young man? How was he related to Yan Ye? He didn¡¯t even know a single thing. "Ji Yi greets Big Brother Yan Ye and Big Brother Yan Tianyu!" A crisp voice solved Mo Wuji¡¯s worries. A delicate and pretty young girl in a green floral dress walked in front of Mo Wuji and bowed slightly. So this young man is called Yan Tianyu, they should be in the same generation, otherwise, this Ji Yi girl wouldn¡¯t call them both ¡®big brothers¡¯. Now, the key thing was: who is this Ji Yi girl? As she saw the lightning scars on his face, she was only slightly shocked but there weren¡¯t any further emotions. From the looks of it, her relationship with Yan Ye wasn¡¯t very close. Fortunately, after greeting them, this young girl immediately gave Mo Wuji the answer, "Big Brother Yan ye, my clan¡¯s young mistress invites you over." Chapter 498: There’s Still Another Wife Chapter 498: There¡¯s Still Another Wife Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji reacted swiftly; the moment he heard these words, he could guess that this Ji Yi had been sent over by Ji Yue. As expected, he saw that Yan Tianyu¡¯s face had turned cold, clearly, he wasn¡¯t very welcoming towards this Ji Yi. "You can go over first, I wish to talk to Tianyu," Mo Wuji casually replied Ji Yi. He was not interested in seeing that Ji Yue. According to his original intentions, he would leave immediately after he met Yan Yi. He did not want to have any relations with Ji Yue, so naturally, he would not even want to see her. Now that he met Yan Tianyu, he might not even need to personally find Yan Yi. When she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s reply, a hint of astonishment appeared in Ji Yi¡¯s eyes. What¡¯s going on with Yan Ye? In the past, he would have thrown everything down and immediately followed her over; why was his current reaction so peculiar? Mo Wuji only needed a single glimpse at the Ji Yi¡¯s eyes to know that his performance had been inappropriate. He hurriedly said, "I have a urgent matter to discuss with Tianyu. You can go first." Ji Yi doubtfully nodded her head, then she turned and left. "Yan Ye, you seem to have changed." After Ji Yi left, Yan Tianyu stared at Mo Wuji curiously, seemingly trying to discern the change. Mo Wuji revealed an expression of grief, and he tried to speak as hoarsely as Yan Ye had, "I almost lost my life this time. If I didn¡¯t find an immortal herb that could detoxify poison in the lightning lake, I would have long lost my life." As he said this, Mo Wuji glanced towards Gou Xinghao, who was staring at him, then he patted Yan Tianyu¡¯s shoulder, "Tianyu, let¡¯s talk somewhere else, there¡¯re some nasty bugs around here." Seeing Mo Wuji leave with Yan Tianyu, Gou Xinghao¡¯s face turned incomparably somber; he did not dare block Mo Wuji. The Yan Clan behind Mo Wuji was no small power; he would be unable to bully Mo Wuji, unless his father came over. "Alright." Yan Tianyu nodded, then followed Yan Ye. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already followed Ji Yi to the Ji Clan encampment. Soon, he discovered that the Yan Clan wasn¡¯t very far from the Ji Clan. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go towards the Yan Clan encampment, but chose a different direction. When he saw that Mo Wuji chose to avoid the Yan Clan, Yan Tianyu sighed and said, "Yan Ye, even though there are many snobbish people in the Yan Clan, they are still our family. I know what you¡¯re thinking, but it¡¯s still best for you to pay respects to our elders. After all, your actions this time were truly too much. As for the immortal herbs from the secret domain, it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t hand any over¡­" Mo Wuji rapidly discerned the situation in his heart: Yan Ye¡¯s position in the Yan Clan wasn¡¯t very high, and it looked like he even had some apprehensions towards towards the Yan Clan. However, it seemed like the Yan Clan was rather tolerant of him. As for what he had done that was ¡®too much¡¯, Yan Tianyu didn¡¯t talk much about it. From the way that Yan Tianyu spoke, Mo Wuji could also tell that Yan Ye¡¯s relationship with this Yan Tianyu was still not bad. Seeing that there was no one in the surrounding, Mo Wuji stopped. Before Mo Wuji could start speaking, Yan Tianyu started ranting, "I¡¯ve told you this before, that Ji Yue doesn¡¯t truly like you. Furthermore, you already have a wife, even though¡­" The moment Mo Wuji heard the last sentence, Mo Wuji almost coughed out a mouthful of blood. If not for the fact that he was impersonating Yan Ye, he would have cussed out loud. That Yan Ye fella actually didn¡¯t tell him about his wife; that fella was simply screwing with him. That fella was also really shameless; he had a wife and a sister, but he¡¯s still thinking of using Ji Clan¡¯s clan-saving favour to help some other woman. Yan Tianyu seemed to recall something, and he immediately changed the topic, "There¡¯s no need for me to say anything, but by now, you should have felt that the poison in you is related to the Ji Clan, right? There are a family of ingrates. They are only making use of your feelings towards Ji Yue. To be honest, Ji Yue only looks a little prettier, but other than that¡­" As he got here, he subconsciously stopped talking. This was because in the past, whenever he said anything bad about Ji Yue, Yan Ye would be triggered. However, to his surprise, even though he had scolded Ji Yue, Yan Ye actually didn¡¯t act up. He only had an ugly expression on his face. In Yan Tianyu¡¯s perspective, Yan Ye had really changed. Mo Wuji sighed helplessly, "Tianyu, I already know all this. To be honest, if not for some good luck, I would have already died by the poison. You see the lightning scars on my face and neck, right? Now, I couldn¡¯t even be bothered to find pills to remove these scars. After coming so close to death, I came to understand many things. I also don¡¯t have the face to return back to the Yan Clan. Help me pass these things to Yan Yi and my wife¡­" With that, Mo Wuji took out two storage rings and handed them to Yan Tianyu. Mo Wuji was also rather helpless; he guessed that Yan Ye hadn¡¯t mentioned his wife becasue he was too infatuated with Ji Yue. Now that he was no longer infatuated, he naturally had to think about his face. Thus, if he was leaving, leaving a ring for his sister and not his wife might actually cause suspicions. "Yan Ye, don¡¯t you hate Junior Sister Xiangyu?" Yan Tianyu stared questioningly at Mo Wuji. In his heart, Mo Wuji was thinking: I don¡¯t even know whether that Junior Sister Xiangyu is fat or thin, how am I to hate her? However, this sentence told him of someone Yan Ye was close to, Xiangyu. Of course, he still didn¡¯t even know her surname. At the same time, he could guess from Yan Tianyu¡¯s words that Yan Tianyu should be older than Yan Ye. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t call Yan Ye¡¯s wife "Junior Sister Xiangyu". Mo Wuji intentionally gave a long sigh, "I¡¯ve even seen the gates of death itself. What¡¯s there left for me to hate? If I go now, I might not have the chance to come back, Yan Yi¡­" Originally, Mo Wuji wanted to ask Yan Tianyu to take care of Yan Yi. Fortunately, he managed to catch his words. The more he talked, the more loopholes he would reveal. "You should take back the ring you wanted to give Junior Sister Xiangyu. Your items probably wouldn¡¯t even catch Junior Sister Xiangyu¡¯s eye. Any random gift from her sect would already outweight anything you give her." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart tightened, he immediately knew that he had been too rash. From the looks of it, his wife, Xiangyu, was also no simple person. From the looks of it, there¡¯s some politics involved. He hurriedly kept his ring and said, "Tianyu, I¡¯m not going back home. I¡¯ll see you in the future if fate permits¡­" The less he talked, the less mistakes he would make. "Big Brother Ye¡­" A soft and aggrieved voice called for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji turned back and saw Ji Yi standing beside a woman in a light purple dress. One glance at this woman and Mo Wuji could tell that she was definitely Ji Yue. It was because this woman was truly too beautiful. Even Han Qingru lost to this woman in terms of delicate beauty. She had a perfect oval face, and her pair of glistening eyes looked at though they could tell stories. Her delicate features reminded him of the sunlight that shone through the clouds; it was a sort of beauty that couldn¡¯t be simply described. Downwards, her white nape was dotted by fine threads carried by the wind, causing one to be lost in reverie. Naturally, her chest was clothed and covered, but somehow, it wasn¡¯t neglectable. After a single glance, even Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but imagine what was within those clothes. There was no wonder why Yan Ye liked this woman with such fervour; this Ji Yue seemed to possess all the beauties a woman should have, coupled with her faint panting, and that look of adoration in her eyes¡­ Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, this girl was truly not bad. Unfortunately, he was not Yan Ye; he was Mo Wuji. "Big Brother Ye, your face¡­" This was the second time Ji Yue called ¡®Big Brother Ye¡¯. A look of rich concern appeared in her eyes, and when you paired that with her gentle and beautiful face, it really caused one¡¯s heart to skip a beat. Big Brothr Ye? Mo Wuji wanted to scratch his head, why did it sound so weird? [1] Even though he wanted to leave immediately, Mo Wuji helpless waved his hand, "Junior Sister Yue, there¡¯s no need for you to worry. I was plotted against in the secret domain and I almost lost my life. My heart is still not in place, but after a few days, it will be fine." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, he was thinking: Of course it would be fine after a few days. By then, who knows where I would have run off to. "Big Brother Ye, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve implicated you. This time, I want to leave with you, so if they want to do anything, they would have to do it to me too¡­" Ji Yue¡¯s words almost left Mo Wuji drenched in cold sweat. Leave with him? Then should he still leave? "Ah¡­" He suddenly felt as though his throat was dry to the point he wasn¡¯t able to utter a word. After some time, Mo Wuji struggled to say, "Junior Sister Yue, if we do this, do this¡­" He did not know what he should say. If he acted according to the original Yan Ye¡¯s personality, he would definitely say, "That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. Hurry and leave with me." But to the current Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t even have enough time on his own, so how could he spend time acting as a husband and taking care of Ji Yue? "Are all woman so shameless nowadays?" A clear, cold voice sounded, pulling Mo Wuji out of his quagmire. "Murong Xiangyu greets Big Brother Tianyu." A woman in a white dress walked over. After shooting a snide remark at Ji Yue, she actually bowed towards Yan Tianyu. What struck Mo Wuji was that this woman seemed to be icy cold. The moment she arrived, the surrounding temperature seemed to fall by a few degrees, then it seemed to turn into an ice-cold land. Even though her face could not be compared to Ji Yue, she had sharp eyebrows and a high nose. Her beauty was like a painting; she was also another absolute beauty. Fortunately, this woman said her name, so he knew that this woman should be that wife of his. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know the problems between this couple, and he didn¡¯t even know whether the two of them were intimate. When he saw Murong Xiangyu ignore him, he also couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything. Even though this Murong Xiangyu was cold like ice cream, Mo Wuji¡¯s opinions of her were slighly better than towards Ji Yue. Hearing Murong Xiangyu¡¯s words, Ji Yue suddenly started to tremble; two rows of tears flowed down like streams across her face. She lowered her head, and didn¡¯t look at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was not a person with low EQ like that Yan Ye. He knew that to Ji Yue, lowering her head was the best action. If she were to raise her head, she would make be making things difficult for him. Mo Wuji suddenly started to feel bouts of headache all over his brain. He started to regret using Yan Ye¡¯s identity token. What exactly did that della do, why was he tied to so many beautiful woman? He had a gorgeous wife but he was thinking of another woman. And if that wasn¡¯t enough, his wife did not seem like a simple person. From the looks of it, the two of them weren¡¯t intimate. "Yan Ye, follow me." With that, Murong Xiangyu turned and left. She couldn¡¯t even be bothered to look at Ji Yue¡¯s aggrieved face. [1] The Ye in Yan Ye¡¯s name means wild. And it would seem like she was calling him wild big brother. Perhaps Yan Ye was wild in the bedroom. Chapter 499: Supreme Dao Sect Chapter 499: Supreme Dao Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t want to offend anyone now, so how could he simply follow Murong Xiangyu away. He acted lost for half a day before he sighed and said, "You can go back first. I have many matters to settle, after I''m done with them, I will find time to visit you." After that, he said to Ji Yue, "Junior Sister Yue, you should head back first. I have several matters to handle with Tianyu." Mo Wuji had already thought of a great scheme; after sending these two women away, he would run off to the other end of the world. However, neither of these women were easy to deal with; Ji Yue seemed to notice that the current Yan Ye was different from the past, she even had an intuition that if she left now, she would never see Yan Ye again. Even though she guessed that this change was due to him being poisoned, she still needed Yan Ye''s help. If Yan Ye didn''t help her, how would she be able to leave the Ji Clan? Only the clan-saving favour in Yan Ye''s hand could help her leave the Ji Clan. And even so, it could not be used casually, and had to be matched with a suitable excuse. She never expected for Yan Ye''s attitude towards her to change so drastically after being poisoned. Even if Yan Ye''s wife didn''t cause any trouble, this change of attitude had undoubtedly casted a shadow over her plans. "No, I don''t want to go back. Big Brother Ye, I¡­" Ji Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with heart wrenching anticipation, as she stared expectantly towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji easily ignored the aggrieved expression on Ji Yue''s face. Take you to the Yan Clan? I, Mo Wuji, still want to life for a few more years. I''m merely a Golden Immortal ant that can be snuffed out by any random person. Where would I find the time to do such loony sh*t? "Yan Ye, you can choose not to follow me now. But if I leave, I believe that it would no longer be as simple as me coming to invite you." Murong Xiangyu¡¯s tone was icy cold. Mo Wuji raged, "My Yan Clan, at the end of the day, is a big clan, how could I be scared of you? If you push me to the edge, I will directly go to my Yan Clan Patriarch." If he recalled correctly, the current patriarch, Yan Qi, was Yan Ye¡¯s grandfather, he could pull on this tiger¡¯s fur right? [1] When Murong Xiangyu heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words of anger, she went silent. On the contrary, it was Yan Tianyu who silently whispered into Mo Wuji¡¯s ear, "The patriarch is currently behind closed doors, trying to charge and become an Immortal Reverent; there¡¯s still no news from him yet. On the other hand, Junior Sister Xiangyu is from the Supreme Dao Sect. It¡¯s said that when it was at its zenith, it was an existence with many Immortal Emperors. During that time, the One Sword Sect could only look towards the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s back in admiration. Even now, the Supreme Dao Sect is no worse than the One Sword Sect¡­" Mo Wuji momentarily went silent; he understood the meaning of Yan Tianyu¡¯s words: that grandfather of Yan Ye¡¯s, Yan Qi, was also nothing more than an ant. At the same time, he also understood that above the Immortal Kings, the Immortal Reverents, and thereafter, Immortal Emperors. This Immortal World was indeed too terrifying; either way, he was merely an ant. "The Supreme Dao Sect doesn¡¯t have any Immortal Emperors now?" Mo Wuji asked cautiously. Yan Tianyu stared at Mo Wuji questioningly; he did not understand why Mo Wuji would even bother asking such a useless question at a time like this. However, he still answered seriously, "Even though there are some that say that, there are those that say otherwise. In this sort of peerless sect, who knows whether there are Immortal Emperors or not? More importantly, the Supreme Dao Sect cultivates by severing their emotions away. Junior Sister Xiangyu joined the sect not long ago, so she still has a few incense¡¯s of emotions. She is, after all, an esteemed Six Star Genius. If you were to offend Junior Sister Xiangyu''s master, or even the Supreme Dao Sect itself, not only would you face disaster, our Yan Clan wouldn¡¯t be any better off." With that, a hint of worry appeared in Yan Tianyu¡¯s eyes; it was okay if Murong Xiangyu disrespected Yan Ye, or even the Yan Clan. But it was not okay for Yan Ye to disrespect Murong Xiangyu. Mo Wuji understood the meaning behind Yan Tianyu¡¯s words: If he offended Murong Xiangyu, he shouldn¡¯t tell Yan Qi anything. In fact, if he told Yan Qi anything, Yan Qi might break his legs and send him off to the Supreme Dao Sect as a form of atonement. Mo Wuji sighed; he knew that he was definitely an ant now. He didn¡¯t even bother responding to Ji Yue¡¯s feelings. Instead, he said to Murong Xiangyu indifferently, "Since that¡¯s the case, lead the way." In his mind, he really wanted to ask what a Six Star Genius was; he had seen this back when he was in Half Moon Prison. During that time, the inmates of Half Moon Prison were all Star-grade geniuses. However, Mo Wuji knew that he couldn¡¯t ask such a question; this was definitely the most common of knowledge, if he asked that question, it would definitely reveal his identity. When Murong Xiangyu heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she didn¡¯t even utter half a word of explanation as she simply turned and left. Seeing Mo Wuji turn and leave with Murong Xiangyu without even saying a word, Ji Yue lowered her head. Her eyes went dull, and feelings of extreme fury and hatred rose in her heart. It was enough that Yan Ye didn¡¯t mention anything of his promise to her, but he was also plainly ignoring her. Could this fella have forgotten why he entered the Lifeless Secret Domain? It was for her, Ji Yue. "Young mistress¡­" Ji Yi lamented and cried out softly. Ji Yue took a deep breath and looked towards the lively and bustling plaza, then towards the direction Mo Wuji disappeared in. She slowly said, "That man is no longer reliable. We will take the second route." She definitely wouldn''t forget Yan Ye, this man who dared to lie to her. She, Ji Yue, was not someone that could be casually lied to, moreover, by a man that she genuinely wanted to believe in. However, this was her own opinion. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, he was not a man that she genuinely wanted to believe in, but a man she sincerely wanted to make use of. According to her logic, being able to be used by her, Ji Yue, was Yan Ye¡¯s fortune and honour. However, this Yan Ye didn¡¯t know how to appreciate her kindness, and even chose to ignore her. ¡­ Mo Wuji followed Murong Xiangyu and walked a huge round. Only then, did they arrive in front of an encampment of a seemingly small sect. He didn¡¯t even see any sign showing that this was the Supreme Dao Sect. Murong Xiangyu turned and swept her eyes across Mo Wuji. Then she threw a pill towards him and said emotionlessly, "This is a Facial Restoration Immortal Pill. After you eat it, follow me in." With that, she walked into that relatively small door. Mo Wuji threw the pill into his storage ring; he also had this sort of pill, and his was even at the unique grade. If he, Mo Wuji, wanted to restore his appearance, would he even need a pill? At this instant, he wasn¡¯t thinking at all about his looks. Instead, he was wondering whether this was the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s encampment. This did not seem to match Yan Tianyu¡¯s description; how could the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s encampment be much smaller than the Yan Clan¡¯s, and even look so inconspicuous? Even though his hearts were full of doubts, Mo Wuji could only follow Murong Xiangyu into this small door. The moment he entered, Mo Wuji felt a chill throughout his body. Thereafter, the door behind him suddenly disappeared. Mo Wuji¡¯s first reaction was to hurriedly retreat; this place was definitely not a good place. Fortunately, he promptly calmed himself down. Knowing his current status and cultivation level, if someone wanted to kill him, there wasn¡¯t a need for such a huge scheme. Perhaps, just a random excuse was already even to end him. There was no need to mention this Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master, even Murong Xiangyu herself was more powerful than him; Mo Wuji guessed that she should be in the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. If he were to ever match up against Murong Xiangyu, he would only have a single option - run. After calming himself down, Mo Wuji started to examine this place. What left Mo Wuji shocked was that this place was incomparably large, it was like a huge palace. From the looks of it, this was a space-type magic treasure. The only part that differed from a palace was its simple interior; it did not have the grandeur and majesty of a palace. Right at the center of the huge hall, sat a pretty woman in purple robes. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, this woman looked two to three years older than him, at most. However, Mo Wuji was sure that it definitely wasn¡¯t so; she might even be some old demonic grandma that¡¯s tens of thousands of years old. Murong Xiangyu was standing behind this purple robed woman. By this purple robed woman¡¯s side, seated a middle-aged man in brocade robes. Similarly, there was also a person standing behind this middle-aged man. It was a youth with a lofty appearance; his high and grand bearings clearly oppressed the lightning-scarred Mo Wuji. Murong Xiangyu knew that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t use her pill and frowned slightly. "Yan Ye, Xiangyu has been married to you over these years. This time could be said to have helped Xiangyu gradually rid herself of mortal and worldly bonds. Thus, if you have any requests, feel free to say them. I will be able to satisfy them." The purple robed woman¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Wuji. Her voice was calm and free from emotions. Satisfy? Mo Wuji confessed that he was a worldly man; he couldn''t help but have some unhealthy thoughts when he heard that word. Fortunately, he was able to quickly throw these thoughts aside. These people were all old monsters; if they knew of his thoughts, they would definitely destroy him and leave him without a grave. However, he completely didn¡¯t know how getting married to Murong Xiangyu helped her gradually removed her worldly bonds. Logically, it should be a divorce that did that. He didn¡¯t bother clarifying as he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Yan Ye greets senior. I don¡¯t have any requests. Being able to help Fairy Xiangyu severe her worldly emotions and bonds is my Yan Clan¡¯s honour and my dream." What dog¡¯s fart request? To Mo Wuji, leaving now would be his greatest request? What worldly bonds? What severance of emotions? Screw that sh*t. The purple robed woman was clearly comforted by Mo Wuji¡¯s lack of request. She contentedly nodded her head, "Today, I called you over because I have something I needed you to do." "Senior, feel free to instruct me. If there¡¯s anything you need help with, I, Yan Ye, would be willing to climb mountains and cross seas to help you." Mo Wuji patted his chest and threw all the burdens on Yan Ye. Now, he only wished to get out of here as soon as possible. "Very good. As the saying goes: Whoever hung the bell on the tiger must be one to untie it. These years, you have been married to Xiangyu. During this time, you¡¯ve helped Xiangyu remain pure. But now, it¡¯s time to severe this karma¡­" The moment the purple robed woman said this, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. It seems like Murong Xiangyu and Yan Ye were betrothed to each other as minors. Eventually, Murong Xiangyu caught the attention of the Supreme Dao Sect, and this marriage has become the shackles in Murong Xiangyu¡¯s heart. If he was not wrong, the reason why he was called over, was because they wanted to end this marriage between him and Murong Xiangyu. That way, Murong Xiangyu''s dao heart would be set free. [1] The full idiom in Chinese is to pull the tiger¡¯s fur and wave it as a flag. It¡¯s quite obvious what this idiom means HAHA Chapter 500: Heavenly Emperors Investigation Chapter 500: Heavenly Emperor''s Investigation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This was completely no problem with that! In fact, Mo Wuji was anxiously waiting for the purple-robed woman to actually suggest that. Then, he would agree immediately, and get the hell out of this forsaken place. As expected, the purple-robed woman continued, "Today, your fate with Xiangyu will end. Today, I intend to make a decision for you and Xiangyu, to end this worldly marriage and to cleanse your dao hearts. If you meet again, you will merely be passers-by. Yan Ye, are you willing?" Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; Murong Xiangyu would only be free from her inner demons when Yan Ye agrees to this willingly. If it was the original Yan Ye, even if he was forced to agree, he would definitely feel an ache in his heart. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t Yan Ye, and this purple robed woman was right; he was truly a mere passer-by. Mo Wuji stood up; fully intending to clasp his fist and agree with this purple robed woman¡¯s words, ending his fate with Murong Xiangyu. However, he never expected Murong Xiangyu to step forward and say, "Master, I feel that my mortal marriage with Yan Ye hasn¡¯t fully come to a conclusion. If we were to rush its ending, I¡¯m afraid that might cause some knots in my heart, which might eventually affect my dao heart." Mo Wuji was momentarily dumbfounded; what¡¯s going on? He definitely didn¡¯t believe that Murong Xiangyu had feelings for Yan Ye; he was merely being used, this was exactly the same as with Ji Yue. This Yan Ye¡¯s life was really a tragedy, he¡¯s constantly being used by different woman. The purple robed woman frowned slightly, and sighed, "Xiangyu, this time, you and Qianyan will be going to the Broken World together. You need to end this mortal relationship, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. You must know that in our Supreme Dao Sect will still need to eventually form emotions; Qianyan is a dragon among man and is also a Six Star Genius of the One Sword Sect. He¡¯s a man suitable¡­" "Junior Sister Xiangyu, Senior Aunt Qin is right. This time, we will enter the Broken World together. I am willing to fight and advance together with Junior Sister Xiangyu." The imposing youth stood forward, clasped his hands towards Murong Xiangyu, and spoke with tenderness in his voice. Mo Wuji finally came to a complete understanding. At this moment, his heart was only filled with sorrow on behalf of Yan Ye. But was ¡®sorrow¡¯ a good enough word to describe what was happening now? In reality, Murong Xiangyu was supposed to go to the Broken World together with this Qianyan. One can clearly imagine the various kinds of interactions they would have when they enter the Broken World together. As the two continue to interact, they might even fall in love with one another. If his marriage with Murong Xiangyu had yet to be abolished, then Murong Xiangyu would definitely have knots in her heart. And if she were to fall in love with this Qianyan, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Murong Xiangyu. It was exactly because of this, that Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master wanted him to divorce her before Murong Xiangyu entered the broken world. From the start to the end, Yan Ye was only an ant that was being made use of. No one cared about Yan Ye¡¯s dao heart, nor did anyone consider Yan Ye¡¯s feelings. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t Yan Ye. If he met with such a situation himself, he might actually spit on this purple robed old grandma¡¯s face then think of ways to get rid of this Qianyan. You can be a dragon among your piece of sh*t men, but if you dare think of courting my wife, it would be better if you court death. Even though this matter was not related to him, Mo Wuji still felt that it was greatly unfair for Yan Ye. "Master, I feel that we should let Yan Ye go to the Broken World with us. Only through more interactions, will the knots in my heart slowly disappear." Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t directly respond to the youth¡¯s words. Instead, she bowed towards her master. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with disdain; he could also guess Murong Xiangyu¡¯s intentions. That was to let him join them on their trip to the Broken World; and as he is juxtaposed against this Qianyan, he would look bad in comparison. Thus, Murong Xiangyu would naturally gravitate towards that Qianyan, and her heart would be free from pressure. This woman was exactly the same as that Ji Yue; just for her own benefits, she didn¡¯t care anything about others. The purple robed woman frowned momentarily before she spoke slowly, "Xiangyu, the Broken World is not within the Yong Ying Immortal Domain; it¡¯s fraught with danger. Those that enter are the geniuses of the different Immortal Domains. Going there isn¡¯t easy¡­ If Yan Ye were to go, it might be harming him." Mo Wuji was sure that the purple-robed woman¡¯s last sentence could be ignored. He definitely didn¡¯t believe that Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master would care about his wellbeing. The primary reason was probably because it wasn¡¯t easy to get him to the Broken World. Murong Xiangyu sank into silence; her gaze landed on Mo Wuji. If she caused Yan Ye to perish in the Broken World just because of her dao heart, would she be able to live with it? From the start till now, Yan Ye was indeed helping her. Even though Yan Ye could do whatever he wanted in the Yan Clan, he had always cared about her face. Her master was also right; one would have to severe emotions first, before forming them again. She never had any emotions with Yan Ye, so there was no need to talk about severing it. Between them, there was only karma, but after this matter, this karma between them would end. As she thought of this, she subconsciously glanced at Qiao Qianyan. Qiao Qianyan was one of the Ten Great Xuan Immortals of Yong Ying Immortal Domain. He had an imposing and dignified appearance and was also a Six Star Genius. Compared to Yan Ye, he was indeed multiple times better. Murong Xiangyu sighed in her heart. Actually, Mo Wuji¡¯s guess about her intentions wasn¡¯t entirely correct. The reason why she wanted Yan Ye to come, was because she didn¡¯t really want to change the person she would form emotions with. Since she had chosen Yan Ye, she would first form emotions with Yan Ye, then walk away from them. However, with Yan Ye¡¯s current appearance, it was indeed quite hard for her to fall in love. "Yan Ye, what¡¯s your intention?" Supposedly, the most suitable person to ask this question was either Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master or Murong Xiangyu herself. Mo Wuji never expected that it would actually be that young man called Qianyan. Even though he was filled with discontent towards this Qianyan, he knew that it was best for him to say that he didn¡¯t want to go to the Broken World and that it was best to just end his relationship with Murong Xiangyu. This answer would appeal to the majority of them. While it might cause Murong Xiangyu some slight disappointment, it would satisfy Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master and that Qianyan. More importantly, it would satisfy his own needs as he would be able to leave. Mo Wuji also knew why Qianyan asked this question. This fella wanted to threaten him; if he answered inappropriately, it would be equivalent to offending this fella. Even though he was feeling displeasure in his heart, Mo Wuji also wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. Just at this moment, a red flying messenger sword flew in, landing within that middle-aged man¡¯s palm. The middle-aged man glanced at the flying sword and a look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face. "Dao Friend Tu, is anything the matter?" The purple robed woman asked curiously. The middle-aged handed the flying sword to the purple-robed woman and said, "The Breath of Hongmeng [1] that led to the destruction of Lifeless Dao Sect those years ago had reappeared at the Corner of Yong Ying¡¯s section of the Lifeless River. Because it¡¯s unknown where the person who took the Breath of Hongmeng went, Heavenly Emperor Fengyun is requesting to seal the Lifeless Secret Domain. At the same time, people of unknown origins are temporarily not allowed to leave." "It¡¯s actually the Breath of Hongmeng!" The purple robed woman took in a deep breath and exclaimed. After some time, she sighed, "From the looks of it, the Heavenly Emperor also knows that the chances of finding the Breath of Hongmeng are very slim. The people here are all ordinary people.." The middle-aged man nodded; he understood the meaning behind the purple-robed woman¡¯s words. If the Heavenly Emperor thinks that that thing could appear in the Lifeless Dao Sect¡¯s ruins, he wouldn¡¯t have simply sent an order but would have come personally. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with shock. He knew that the energy within that gourd was amazing, but he didn¡¯t know that it was the Breath of Hongmeng. If anyone found out that he had it on him, even ten thousand of him wouldn¡¯t be enough to kill. There was no need to that about that Heavenly Emperor, just the two in front of him would be able to hack him into millions of pieces; even his bones would be shredded. "Yan Ye, you haven¡¯t answered Qianyan¡¯s question." The purple robed woman knew that the Breath of Hongmeng was far from her reach, so she turned her attention back to Mo Wuji. She also wanted Mo Wuji to give her definite answer, to allow her precious disciple to have a pure dao heart. If this was before he knew that the Heavenly Emperor was investigating about the gourd, Mo Wuji would not have hesitated to say that he didn¡¯t want to go to the Broken World and to go off on his own. But now, Mo Wuji knew that it would be dangerous for him to be by himself. His main concern was with Gou Xinghao; Gou Xinghao had seen his Half Moon Halberd. Anyone that came from the Corner of Yong Ying would know that he used the Half Moon Halberd. This would place him in extreme danger. Perhaps there were too many cultivators that went to the Lifeless River, and Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor might never find out about him. However, Mo Wuji did not want to consider such uncertain things. In his past life, he was a researcher; he knew that even the most minute of errors can cause the greatest of mistakes. Thus, Mo Wuji would never engage himself in wishful thinking. "Answering senior. To me, Junior Sister Xiangyu¡¯s dao heart is the most important thing. Just now, Junior Sister Xiangyu said that she hadn¡¯t fully concluded her fate with me, and there were even some knots in her heart. I also feel the same way. Even if you kill me now and grind me into a million pieces, it might not be able to remove these knots on Junior Sister Xiangyu¡¯s heart. I live for the sake of Junior Sister Xiangyu, so even though it might be fraught with danger, I am willing to follow Junior Sister Xiangyu to the Broken World, all the way till those knots disappear." Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was filled with emotion; his voice was filled with resolution. Murong Xiangyu stared at Mo Wuji in surprise; could it be that she had yet to understand this husband of hers? Those words just now were words that Yan Ye would never have said. In her eyes, Yan Ye was a cowardly person that liked to engage in his own fantasies. At the same time, he only acted based on his own self-interest, and would never care about anyone else. The purple robed woman lamented in her heart. This Mo Wuji clearly wasn¡¯t trying to help; he was simply causing trouble. However, she understood Xiangyu¡¯s character; if Xiangyu was able to severe her worldly relations, fall in love with Qiao Qianyan, then walk away from those emotions, she would become the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s next Immortal Emperor expert. However, these words of Yan Ye was not that bad. If Yan Ye went to the Broken World together with Qiao Qianyan, it would be easier for Murong Xiangyu to make a decision. That way, after Xiangyu forms emotions, she would no longer be shackled by her past. Moreover, it was still within her capacity to get a slot to the Broken World. [1] Hongmeng is the name of the chaotic energy which existed in the primordial world before the universe was created. Hongmeng is a wordplay, translated as "Mists-of-Chaos", "Vast Obscurity", "Big Concealment", "Vital Principle", and "Natural Energy". TL: Okay, all this talk about emotions seems quite confusing, and the author talks about them one part at the time. First, in 499, the author talks about severing worldly and mortal relations and emotions. Then in this chapter, he talks about how one would have to fall in love and form emotions after severing the past ones. Then eventually, to be strong they would have to walk away from these emotions. So in Murong Xiangyu''s initial thoughts, she wanted to stay true to her original wedded husband, Yan Ye. Since she never had feelings for him anyway, she could form emotions with him, then walk away. (But she''s facing a bit of difficulty since he''s looking like some ugly ass scarred man like Deadpool) Chapter 501: A Rather Different Yan Ye Chapter 501: A Rather Different Yan Ye Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The middle-aged man could clearly discern the purple-robed woman¡¯s thoughts; he spoke to Qiao Qianyan calmly, "Qianyan, as your master, I¡¯ve told you this before: not only do you cultivate the dao, you are also cultivating the heart. If you can¡¯t get over a small ditch, how will you be able to achieve the Great Dao? Let me make the decision, you and Xiangyu can go to the Broken World together with this Yan Ye. When you emerge, you will naturally understand the meaning behind my words today." "Yes, master." Qiao Qianyan bowed as he responded. Mo Wuji cursed in this heart; this old bastard actually likened him to a ditch! The purple robed woman handed a jade token over to Murong Xiangyu, "Xiangyu, you can bring Yan Ye up with you to the ship. Yan Ye is not inside the namelist, so if anyone asks you, take this jade token out. Due to the Heavenly Emperor¡¯s matter, Dao Friend Tu and I will have to stay here to handle somethings." "Yes. Many thanks, master." Murong Xiangyu accepted the jade token and bowed respectfully. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything; now, he had to wholeheartedly act in front of Murong Xiangyu. "Go on then. Let¡¯s not delay any further." The purple robed woman waved her hand towards Murong Xiangyu. Murong Xiangyu bowed once more, then turned and left the hall. Qiao Qianyan took the first step and hurried to walk beside Murong Xiangyu. Mo Wuji was now like a little attendant, as he followed along from the back. In the corner of her eye, Murong Xiangyu glanced towards Mo Wuji and sighed in her heart. She started to suspect that Mo Wuji was placing the wild wishes, that he had towards Ji Yue, on her. If that¡¯s really the case, she could only say that Yan Ye was bringing trouble onto himself. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about what any of them were thinking. In his mind, he only wanted to say: The two people in front, can¡¯t you walk a little faster? Fortunately, Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t waste any time. The moment the left the encampment, she immediately fetched her flying ship and said to Qiao Qianyan and Mo Wuji, "Senior Brother Qiao and Yan Ye can board my ship." Qiao Qianyan hurriedly expressed his thanks and went up on Murong Xiangyu¡¯s ship. Mo Wuji also didn¡¯t dally around as he hurriedly boarded too. Murong Xiangyu¡¯s flying ship flashed into a shadow, charging out from the Lifeless Secret Domain area, and disappearing into the distance. Without any further orders from the Heavenly Emperor, no one dared to stop a ship of the Supreme Dao Sect. ¡­ The flying ship moved speedily throughout the journey. Murong Xiangyu stood at the bow of the ship, staring into the vast starry sky in front of her; it was unknown what she was thinking. Qiao Qianyan was standing beside Murong Xiangyu, speaking to her in a soft volume. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to incite the hatred of Qiao Qianyan, so he simply went to the stern of the ship. As for the ship¡¯s compartments, he didn¡¯t intend to enter them. He didn¡¯t know what kind of place the Broken World was, but in his heart, he was thinking whether it was possible if he went off by himself. But if he were to get noticed by the Heavenly Emperor of an Immortal Domain, then things wouldn¡¯t be good. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know what Murong Xiangyu and Qiao Qianyan were chatting about, nor was he interested. Now, he was only thinking about the Broken World. Apparently, there were people from other Immortal Domains going to the Broken World, and Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master had also said that the Broken World wasn¡¯t in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Whether or not Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor got wind of him, it was best for him to get as far away as possible from Yong Ying. Half a day later, Mo Wuji cast all these thoughts aside and brought out some intermediate grade immortal crystals to start cultivating. This was the Immortal World; even without immortal crystals, the surrounding immortal spiritual energy was more than ten times that of the Corner of Yong Ying. The moment he started cultivating, Mo Wuji soon forgot about the flow of time. It was also after some unknown period of time, he was awoken by Murong Xiangyu, "Yan Ye, we¡¯re already here. Follow me to the big ship." Only then did Mo Wuji discover that Murong Xiangyu¡¯s flying ship was now parked in a huge plaza, and in the centre of the plaza, there was a gigantic flying ship. How was this a flying ship? This was simply a moving city. Moreover, the plaza itself was like an immortal city; it was protected by a defensive array that even Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will couldn¡¯t penetrate. "Junior Brother Yan sure is hardworking. Even during our journey, you didn¡¯t forget to cultivate," Qiao Qianyan spoke to Mo Wuji the moment Mo Wuji disembarked the flying ship; his tone even contained some hints of admiration. Regardless of whether Qiao Qianyan¡¯s expression was sincere, Mo Wuji definitely didn¡¯t believe that Qiao Qianyan would respect him. He didn¡¯t want to say anything, so he simply smiled in response. "Junior Brother Yan, everyone on this void ship is a peak genius from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and there are even some absolute experts. Remember to be careful with both your words and actions, and don¡¯t cause trouble. To these people, we¡¯re merely small fry." Seeing Mo Wuji remain silent, Qiao Qianyan continued to give him a serious instruction. Mo Wuji knew that the other party was referring to him when he talked about ¡®small fry¡¯. Whether it was Qiao Qianyan or Murong Xiangyu, they were both Six Star Geniuses. Naturally, they weren¡¯t small fry. Thus, he said indifferently, "Small fry like me have my own small methods. There¡¯s no need for you to worry." Murong Xiangyu glanced at Mo Wuji; even though she didn¡¯t actually meet with Yan Ye for many times, she seemed to feel that this Yan Ye in front of her was different from the Yan ye she remembered. While he spoke passionately while in front of her master, she did not think that he would still be so resilient during normal interactions. Whether it was status, appearance, or talent, Yan Ye was 108,000 li [1] away from Qiao Qianyan; when he interacts with Qiao Qianyan, he should be acting submissively. However, not only did he not have any hint of submission, Yan Ye was neither haughty nor humble as he spoke to Qiao Qianyan. "Yan Ye, follow closely behind me. Otherwise, you would be able to board the ship." Murong Xiangyu couldn¡¯t make sense of these questions, so she rather not think of them. She indifferently instructed Mo Wuji, then went up on the ship. "How long till the ship moves?" Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to call her "Junior Sister Xiangyu", this sort of action would disgust himself. They were merely using one another, so there was no need to address each other by terms like ¡®junior sister¡¯. Murong Xiangyu wanted to use him, so he was also using her. By the time they reached the Broken World, the two of them could walk on their lovey-dovey bridge, while he would walk on his broad and open road. "There¡¯s still half a month." Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t seem to care that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t address her. Indeed, there were two cultivators conducting identification checks as they boarded the flying ship; Murong Xiangyu and Qiao Qianyan both took their own identity jade tokens out. Before those two cultivators could question Mo Wuji, Murong Xiangyu proactively took her master¡¯s jade token and said, "Yan Ye is also invited by my Supreme Dao Sect, and will be following me to the Broken World." That cultivator nodded and didn¡¯t say anything further, simply allowing the three of them onto the ship. He even gave a jade token to Murong Xiangyu. For bigger sects like the Supreme Dao Sect and the One Sword Sect, there was some room for leeway. Moreover, Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master was considered a renowned figure, and was also a Summit Lord of the Supreme Dao Sect; so this was within her power. Murong Xiangyu glanced at the jade token in her hands, then handed it to Mo Wuji, "If there¡¯s nothing important, try not to leave the ship. Because you are an additional passenger, your room is one of the low-grade compartments. This ship will be traversing across the Immortal Domain Void, so it will take at least half a year." "Many thanks." Mo Wuji hurriedly accepted the jade token. There was no need to talk about a low-grade room, he would be satisfied with a storeroom. Regardless, not only did Murong Xiangyu bring him out of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, she even found him a room. Thus, Mo Wuji was still extremely grateful to her. Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t respond to Mo Wuji. After handing Mo Wuji the jade token, she directly left with Qiao Qianyan to the high-grade compartments. Mo Wuji looked at the jade token in his hand: Low-Grade Compartment D, Room 3770. With his fastest speed, he located his room, opened the door, and rushed in. Even if Murong Xiangyu hadn¡¯t reminded him, he wouldn¡¯t have casually left his room. He was mired in danger all the way till this ship leaves. Even though he had already entered his room, Mo Wuji was still feeling anxious and worried; he didn¡¯t know whether his choice was right. By entering this gigantic ship, he was sealing all his paths of retreat. If the Heavenly Emperor managed to track him from the Lifeless Secret Domain, then he could only resign to his fate. The low-grade compartment room was extremely small; Mo Wuji estimated that it was roughly 10 square meters. There wasn¡¯t anything in the room, merely a simple screening restriction. Mo Wuji added his own spiritual will screen, then took a futon out and started cultivating. In this sort of place, it was best to be as low profile as possible. ¡­ Half a months passed in a flash. When the flying ship started to shake into motion, Mo Wuji finally heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor hadn¡¯t identified him. As long as this ship leaves Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he would no longer have to be worried. Mo Wuji carefully scanned outwards with his spiritual will. Even though he was in a low grade compartment room, he could still detect that the ship had already rushed into space. Now that he could finally be relieved, Mo Wuji started to install all sorts of arrays and restrictions. Previously, the ship hadn¡¯t moved, so he couldn¡¯t be too extravagant. Now that he was going to cultivate wholeheartedly, he would naturally have to install some defensive arrays. After spending two days, the entire array system in the room had been ramped up; there was even a monitor array. Only then, did Mo Wuji take out a huge pile of high-grade immortal crystals and immortal pills and started cultivating. Now, he urgently needed to raise his power. Naturally, he would use whatever he can. If not for the fact that he might cause some displeasure, he would have even installed a spirit gathering array. [1] This is the distance travelled during the Journey to the West. Basically, it¡¯s a long distance. Chapter 502: Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Chapter 502: Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Whether it was high, intermediate or low-grade immortal crystals, they were all turned into dust by Mo Wuji''s side. A few bottles of cultivation raising immortal pills were also rapidly depleted by him. At this instant, Mo Wuji had cast all other thoughts aside and was furiously using immortal crystals and immortal pills to raise his cultivation. When the final bottle of immortal pills was used, Mo Wuji finally stopped cultivating. He still had some immortal crystals, but without immortal pills to complement them, his cultivation speed would fall by a single fold. Moreover, this was a huge flying ship filled with people; even if he wanted to cultivate, be didn''t date to install a spirit gathering array. And to solely absorb the energy from immortal crystals, would lack any hint of dao. Thus, even if he were to absorb spiritual energy from his immortal crystals at monstrous propensities, he wouldn''t be able to achieve the state he wanted. Mo Wuji stroked the loose hair on his chin; it had been a long time since he tidied his long hair. As he felt his cultivation, he could only sigh in his heart. He spent an entire year during this closed doors session. Unfortunately, even though he spent so much time, and used so many immortal crystals and pills, he was still some distance away from the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage. With 108 meridians absorbing spiritual energy simultaneously, coupled with immortal pills and his own reverse Immortal Mortal Technique, Mo Wuji believed that his cultivation speed was definitely no less than any of those Star-grade geniuses. Even so, each step he took was so difficult. Clearly, the path of cultivation wasn''t easy. This was the first time he didn''t advance after a long closed doors session. Mo Wuji didn''t even organise his thoughts as he sat rather blankly in the centre of his room. Now, he was pondering how he could get away from Murong Xiangyu when they reached the Broken World. Right at this instant, the restriction on his door was triggered. With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji instantly knew that the person at his door was Murong Xiangyu. However, he didn''t understand why she would look for him. But with his fastest speed, he tidied himself up and changed to a fresh set of clothes. Then, he opened the restriction on his door. Murong Xiangyu immediately saw Mo Wuji''s messy facial hair. Even though he had tidied himself up, his hair was still rather messy; she could not help but frown slightly. Before Mo Wuji could say anything, she directly walked into the room, then waved her hand and closed the door. "Is there any reason why you''re finding me?" Mo Wuji brought out a wooden stool and handed it to Murong Xiangyu. Murong Xiangyu sat down. She stared blankly at Mo Wuji for a period of time before she said, "Yan Ye, the third time I saw you, you were at the Heavenly Immortal Stage. During that time, your aura contained spirituality. Now, you''re in the Golden Immortal Stage, your cultivation had improved, but why do you seem weaker? Also, I gave you a Facial Restoration Pill, why didn''t you use it?" Now that he was already here, Mo Wuji no longer cared whether Murong Xiangyu suspected his identity. He calmly said, "When I was advancing into the Golden Immortal Stage, my spirit channels got damaged heavily, which is why this happened. Now, cultivation has become very hard; ever since I came on this ship, I have been cultivating. Unfortunately, my cultivation level is still at the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage. Perhaps it might also be due to my damaged spirit channels, that the Facial Restoration Pill didn''t work." Mo Wuji wasn''t blindly speaking. He did not have any problems with his spirit channels; he didn''t even have spirit channels in the first place. As for facial restoration, would he even need a pill to do that? Murong Xiangyu said faintly, "Being able to advance from the early to intermediate Golden Immortal Stage in a year already means that you''re at least a Five Star Genius. Yan Ye, you said that you wanted my heart to be free of knots and worries; did you mean it when you said those words? Why didn''t you come and find me since we boarded the ship? And if you cared about me, why wasn''t there any hint of jealousy when you saw me together with Qiao Qianyan? Unless all those words you said previously were a lie? Just so you can come with me to the Broken World?" Mo Wuji really wanted to say: That''s right, you are exactly right! Even though I didn''t intend to come to this Broken World, I did want to use you to leave Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, he didn''t say those words. Instead, he said, "Xiangyu, I''m fine if you''re fine. If I continuously go to find you, I might actually affect your mood. I said it before, I came here so that you can completely forget about me. If being with Qiao Qianyan is able to help you do that, I will be extremely contented." Mo Wuji''s final sentence was completely sincere; he genuinely wanted Murong Xiangyu to forget about him, and chase him away. Murong Xiangyu didn''t continue on the previous topic. She said faintly, "The ship will soon be landing at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, this place could be considered a part of Mahesvara Immortal Domain [1]. However, Mahesvara Immortal Domain would rarely care about these parts, because there are various sorts of transfer arrays here that go to places like the Broken World and beyond. Thus, this place is better considered as a meeting place for cultivators from different Immortal Domains. Soon, we will alight, then use a transfer array to get to the territory of the Broken World¡­" Before Murong Xiangyu could finish her words, Mo Wuji suddenly stood up and said, "This is Mahesvara Immortal Domain? We have already left Yong Ying Immortal Domain?" Murong Xiangyu stared quizzically at Mo Wuji''s agitation; she nodded, "The flying ship was originally near the edges of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and the Lifeless Secret Domain wasn''t very far from the plaza that we took off in. Taking one year to reach the periphery of Mahesvara Immortal Domain is very normal." "Then we''re going to alight at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, and use a transfer array to get to the Broken World?" Mo Wuji continued to ask. "Yes, it''s like that. But we will not be going to the Broken World immediately. Actually, there''s a reason why so many Star-grade geniuses were gathered here; it''s due to a cultivation exchange session. This process might take one year, or even several years. So the earliest we would reach the Broken World is one to two years later. Once this flying ship reaches Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, there will be a gathering of Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Star-grade geniuses; I will bring you over to take a look. Sometimes, discussing cultivation insights might be more useful than years of closed doors cultivation. That''s also why every time we go to the Broken World, geniuses from the various Immortal Domains would gather at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and have a mutual discussion of insights." Murong Xiangyu nodded. Mo Wuji laughed, "I''m not a Star-grade genius, so I won''t be going." Perhaps listening to others¡¯ insights might have some benefits, but Mo Wuji really didn''t care much about it. He was the progenitor of the meridian cultivation technique; interacting with others would not mean much to him. After he reached Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he would instantly get the f*ck away. Ain''t nobody got time for some gathering of geniuses. Moreover, he also knew the reason why Murong Xiangyu came to say these words. She definitely didn''t want to bring him to see those geniuses; she was more likely afraid that he would go there uninvited, say some inappropriate words and offend those Star-grade geniuses. To be honest, even though Mo Wuji didn''t know much about the Supreme Dao Sect, he did feel that this Murong Xiangyu was still far, far away from that ¡®Emotionless Dao¡¯. If she truly achieved the Emotionless Dao, would she still care about the opinions of other people? There was no need to talk about geniuses in the same grade, even geniuses with a higher star grade shouldn''t be placed in her eyes. Murong Xiangyu was confused with Mo Wuji''s reply. Supposedly, any cultivator would be raring to participate in this sort of gathering between Star-grade geniuses. One must now that all these geniuses were definitely going to be powerhouses in the future. There was no need to talk about the insights, just being acquainted with one or two of them would bring him huge benefits. Whether it was the immortal world or the mortal world, there would be social circles. Immortals also had their own circles, and the people in the circle would affect the level of it. She believed that Yan Ye was really sacrificing himself for the sake of her dao heart, so she wanted to bring Yan Ye over to take a look. Now that Yan Ye wasn''t interested, she naturally wouldn''t say anything further, "Since that''s the case, you can travel around Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. When the time comes, I will send you a message." With that, Murong Xiangyu retrieved a communication bead and passed it to Mo Wuji. Just as Mo Wuji accepted the communication bead, he felt the shop trembling slightly. He immediately knew that they had arrived at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Murong Xiangyu stood up, turned, and walked out of Mo Wuji''s door; she didn''t even say goodbye. Mo Wuji didn''t mind; he cleaned himself up, then followed the crowd off the ship. Now that he was here, he decided that he should not go to the Broken World, but some Immortal Domain. Naturally, the best option would be Mahesvara Immortal Domain, after all, Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was within Mahesvara Immortal Domain. The moment he disembarked the ship, he was greeted by a mass of black hair. This was a vast and boundless plaza; there were at least a hundred huge flying ships parked in the plaza. The crowds of people streamed towards the direction of a huge immortal city''s city gate. Above the city gate, floated three words in faint gold colour, Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. With such a huge city gate, coupled with that majestic defensive array around the city, it was clear that if this wasn''t the grandest immortal city, it was at least one of the most flourishing ones. This place was packed with people; it was even livelier than a concert venue. Mo Wuji saw Murong Xiangyu in the distance; Qiao Qianyan was beside her. The two of them were walking among a group of young men and women; none of the people in the group was ugly, they were all seemingly dragons or phoenixes among man. And this was just a judgment on their appearances; Mo Wuji was the progenitor of the meridian cultivation method, and also had the spiritual eye, he could easily discern many simple falsehoods. Even without condensing his spiritual eye, he could tell that none of those people was weak. Even the weakest among them was brimming with immortal aura; it was clear that their talents were startling. They should be the Star-grade geniuses of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, as Murong Xiangyu mentioned. From the looks of it, they did indeed have the ability. This group walked into Sharphorn Immortal Ruins in the midst of hearty conversation and laughter. Mo Wuji waited for this group to get further away before he walked in with a later crowd of people. The moment he entered Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, the lustre and buster became more pronounced; countless amounts of low-grade immortal crystals could not compare to the rich immortal spiritual energy here. Dense hordes of people entered the immortal ruins, but the roads were as wide as plazas, so there was completely no need to squeeze. [1] Mahesvara or Shiva is part of the Buddhist Pantheon which symbolises complete freedom. Chapter 503: Seven Immortal Domains And The Underworld Chapter 503: Seven Immortal Domains And The Underworld Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations What left Mo Wuji feeling especially envious was the rich immortal spiritual energy here: it contained a sort of natural dao energy. There definitely must have been a huge spirit gathering array with cumulated the immortal spiritual energy from the natural surroundings. This sort of environment was the best for cultivation. At least, this sort of environment would strongly complement immortal crystals; it would be much better than cultivating with immortal crystals solely. Mo Wuji even thought that if he could stay in this immortal ruins for two months, he would very likely be able to advance from the early Golden Immortal Stage to the intermediate stage. Regardless of how long Murong Xiangyu and co. were going to stay in this Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, Mo Wuji decided that he was definitely going to find a place to stay. Thereafter, it would be best if he could advance into the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage here. Mo Wuji circled around the huge streets and alleys for close to a day, till he even started to suffer from a massive headache, but he was still unable to find a place to stay. The prices of the rooms here in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins were truly too expensive. Occasionally, he would find some rooms, but not only were the prices astronomical, the rooms weren¡¯t quiet, and the environment was simply unbearable. Thus, Mo Wuji decided to temporarily give up on finding a place; he would first go to a teahouse and gather some news to make sense of his situation. Just at this moment, a slightly sharp voice called out to him, "This senior, may I ask if you¡¯re looking for a place to stay?" The one who called him was a rather thin Heavenly Immortal cultivator; the skin on his face was especially black, but his teeth were completely white; he left a very deep impression on a person. "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m indeed looking for a quiet place to stay. Do you have a solution?" Mo Wuji replied. Mo Wuji knew that he shouldn¡¯t underestimate this sorts of cultivators that found business along these streets; such people had their own unique methods. "I wonder what kind of room senior is looking for, and do you have any conditions?" The thin cultivator immediately replied respectfully. With the number of immortal crystals on him, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be considered a sugar daddy; but he should have enough to find a suitable place to stay. When he heard this thin cultivator¡¯s words, he knew that he would very likely be able to get a room, "Firstly, it needs to be quiet. Secondly, it needs to be suitable for cultivation. Lastly, the environment must be nice." The moment he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, this thin cultivator knew that he had met a rich man. He was instantly enlivened, "If senior isn¡¯t anxious, if you wait for another four hours, I will be able to help senior find a suitable place to stay. The introduction fee is only 500 high-grade immortal crystals." He knew that for cultivators like Mo Wuji, what they cared about wasn¡¯t immortal crystals, but the environment. Mo Wuji stared at this thin cultivator curiously, "Why must I wait for four hours?" This thin cultivator was afraid that Mo Wuji was sceptical of him, so he hurriedly explained, "Because I know of a very good immortal resthouse. Four hours later, a few customers would be leaving. If senior is able to leave me a communication bead, I can inform you when the time comes." Mo Wuji wanted to ask this fella some questions, so he said simply, "Then I will wait with you. You can just bring me to a teahouse near the resthouse that you¡¯re recommending." When the thin cultivator heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he said ecstatically, "I¡¯m called Dou Hualong. Senior, please follow me." Mo Wuji never expected that this thin cultivator that did such odd jobs would have such a grand name: Dou Hualong. [1] One incense¡¯s time later, Dou Hualong brought Mo Wuji to a teahouse by the side of the river; the moment Mo Wuji arrived, he fell in love with the environment. Not only was it quiet, it was very suitable for cultivation. Seemingly noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s contentment, Dou Hualong pointed to a grand resthouse not far from the tea house, "Later, we will be going to that Riverface Immortal Resthouse. I know the people there; I¡¯ve already informed them to immediately arrange for you to enter the moment the previous customer leaves. There¡¯s no more unique grade rooms and high-grade rooms; there¡¯s only an intermediate grade room, and it costs 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals per night¡­" Mo Wuji inhaled deeply; the price was truly too high: 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals a night, but he only got an intermediate grade room. The moment this Dou Hualong heard of his conditions, that fella didn¡¯t even consider the prices. Looks like this fella occasionally met with some wealthy people. Fortunately, Mo Wuji still had some high-grade immortal crystals; he could still afford 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals a night. The key thing was that in this sort of environment, he would definitely be able to advance into the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage quickly. "Alright, let¡¯s go in and talk." Mo Wuji could get immortal crystals easily; besides sighing at the astronomical price, he didn¡¯t say anything further. After the two found a corner and sat down, Mo Wuji directly asked, "Do you prefer tea or wine?" Even though the time since he advanced into the Immortal Realm could not be considered short, he had always been a "blind" immortal. There were loads of questions which he wanted to ask, and this Dou Hualong in front of him was his best answer. A hint of desire emerged in Dou Hualong¡¯s eyes as he said, "The Green Bamboo Immortal Wine is not bad, but the price is too steep; one flask requires 2,000 high-grade immortal crystals." By now, Mo Wuji was already used to the exorbitant prices here in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. He gestured to the waiter, "Bring two flasks of Green Bamboo Immortal Wine." The waiter''s speed was really fast, he swiftly arrived in front of Mo Wuji and Dou Hualong with two wine flasks inscribed ¡®Green Bamboo¡¯. After Mo Wuji paid the 4,000 high-grade immortal crystals, he pushed one flask to Dou Hualong while he opened the other one for himself. Mo Wuji didn''t know much about wine, he also hadn''t had any good wine ever since he came to the Immortal World. After he opened this Green Bamboo Immortal Wine, its distinct and intense fragrance struck him, making him feel especially comfortable; even before he drank the wine, a pleasant sensation had already spread throughout him. As he brought the flask up to his lips to take a sip, the pleasant sensation instantly flooded his pores; Mo Wuji could not help but praise, "Truly some good wine." The only thing this wine was lacking was a sort of viciousness. Even though its texture was good, there were some imperfections in its beauty. On the other hand, Dou Hualong anxiously brought the flask to his mouth, and with a ¡®glug¡¯, an entire mouthful had already entered him. After swallowing that mouthful of wine, he sighed contentedly. He clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Many thanks senior for treating me to this good wine. As long as it''s something I, Dou Hualong, know, I will definitely answer them. Senior, feel free to ask me questions." Clearly, he also knew that Mo Wuji didn''t bring him here especially to treat him to wine; Mo Wuji probably wanted to ask him some questions. "Many thanks." Mo Wuji also clasped his fists in return. After a short pause, he asked, "Because I''ve always been confined to my family clan, cultivating, this is my first time out here. So I don''t really know of the rough situation of the Immortal World. I hope Dao Friend Dou will be able to shed some light." Hearing Mo Wuji''s simple question, Dou Hualong was especially spirited as he answered, "The Immortal World has seven huge Immortal Domains, namely Luo Ling Immortal Domain, Zero Heaven Immortal Domain, Gods Immortal Domain, Mahesvara Immortal Domain, Sala Buddha Immortal Domain, Six Paths Immortal Domain and Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Among which, Zero Heaven Immortal Domain is the demon domain, Gods Immortal Domain is the god domain, Six Paths Immortal Domain is the devil domain, and Sala Buddha Immortal Domain is the Buddhist domain.The weakest is Yong Ying Immortal Domain, while the strongest is rumoured to be Buddhist domain. As for the most mysterious, it would have to be the god domain. The Sharphorn Immortal Ruins that we''re in now should be within the Mahesvara Immortal Domain''s territory. However, I heard that Mahesvara Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor doesn''t really like governing, so Sharphorn Immortal Ruins gradually became independent." As Mo Wuji heard all this, he finally had a rough understanding of the Immortal World. Just as he was about to ask about Star-grade geniuses, Dou Hualong suddenly whispered to him, "Actually I heard that there''s another Immortal Domain called the Underworld, and its closest to Six Paths Immortal Domain. Recently, it''s been rumoured that you must go through the Six Paths Immortal Domain in order to get to the Underworld." Mo Wuji''s heart tightened; he hurriedly asked, "Then is the Underworld the place which controls reincarnation?" "I''m not sure about that. But I heard that some of the absolute experts in the Immortal World would go to the Underworld if their closed ones died; they would find their closed ones¡¯ souls there and bring them back to life. Of course, this is merely a hearsay. As for the validity of it, I''m not very sure." Dou Hualong seemed to subconsciously lower his volume. Mo Wuji suddenly asked with great urgency, "Then if a close one dies and loses her primordial spirit and soul, as long as her fleshly body is present, then it''s possible to go to the Underworld to find her soul?" Dou Hualong was slightly stupefied, but after a short pause, he answered, "According to the rumours, it''s possible. It''s said that within the void in between Six Paths Immortal Domain and the Underworld, there''s the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. As long as the fleshly body is present, and if enough world treasures are brought there, then it''s possible to reform the soul and bring that cultivator back to life." "Then which are the world treasures needed?" Mo Wuji almost stood up. Dou Hualong shook his head, "I only heard all these rumours. I''m not sure whether they are even true." Mo Wuji immediately regained his countenance; he knew he had been too anxious. If Dou Hualong knew of such things, then they must definitely be common knowledge. And if what Dou Hualong says was true, then with his current ability, then he would only be dreaming if he wanted to go to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. By the time his power gets to that level, he would easily have heard of such rumours. "Tell me about Star-grade geniuses then." Mo Wuji could feel Dou Hualong¡¯s astonishment, so he took the initiative to change the topic. If Mo Wuji¡¯s intense attention on the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond left Dou Hualong astonished, then Mo Wuji¡¯s question about Star-grade geniuses had left him thoroughly shocked. Fortunately, he had his professionalism; even though he was slightly dazed over why Mo Wuji would ask such simple questions, he still explained, "Actually, for a cultivator to reach great heights, not only is hard work and fate important, the most important factor is actually talent. Those cultivators with great talents and spiritual roots are called Star-grade geniuses. And to make things more convenient for sects to accept disciples, there are different grades within the geniuses, from One Star to Nine Star. Typically, only Five Star Geniuses and above have the rights to become an Immortal Emperor. For Nine Star Geniuses, as long as they don¡¯t die, they have a 50% chance of becoming an Immortal Emperor." "Oh, then Star-grade geniuses are classified based on the number of spirit channels they open, right?" Mo Wuji tried to bring the explanation into his own terms. Dou Hualong explained, "Spirit channels are only one factor. Typically, Five Star Geniuses and above have more than 100 spirit channels¡­" As he got here, Dou Hualong suddenly looked at his communication bead; he stood up and said, "Senior, Riverface Immortal Resthouse¡¯s room is now open. Should we go over now?" Mo Wuji also stood up, "Of course we should go now. Let¡¯s go." He still had many questions that he wanted to ask Dou Hualong, but he wasn¡¯t in a rush, he could wait till he advanced to the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage first. On the other hand, it was so hard to find a place to stay in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, so he should settle that first. "Oh right, senior. A few months later, some big sects from a few of the Immortal Domains will be coming to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins to accept disciples. Riverface Immortal Resthouse is not far from the plaza that they will be holding the event at. If senior is interested, you could take a look," Dou Hualong said as they walked out of the teahouse. [1] Probably because of the dragon (long) in the name. Chapter 504: The Top Genius Chapter 504: The Top Genius Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Dou Hualong wasn¡¯t blindly speaking; Riverface Immortal Resthouse did indeed have an empty room. He helped Mo Wuji arrange for a room, and found Mo Wuji a place to stay. Mo Wuji was rather satisfied with his room; there was a big living room, a spare room and a cultivation room. Even though the price was rather steep, the room was actually rather spacious. At this point, Mo Wuji only needed to pay Dou Hualong 500 high-grade immortal crystals and their transaction would end. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t immediately pass Dou Hualong the immortal crystals. Instead, he asked, "Dao Friend Dou, do you want high grade or low-grade immortal crystals?" The moment he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, a hint of disappointment instantly appeared in Dou Hualong¡¯s heart. Anyone would prefer high-grade immortal crystals, but since Mo Wuji asked such a question, Mo Wuji would definitely want to give him low-grade ones. But as he thought of the Green Bamboo Immortal Wine that Mo Wuji gave him, Dou Hualong hurriedly said, "I only need low-grade immortal crystals." So this guy has some EQ; Mo Wuji handed a storage ring to Dou Hualong, "This is for you." A storage ring? Dou Hualong accepted it happily; at least this ring would be worth some high-grade immortal crystals. The moment he sent his spiritual will inside, he actually saw 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals and 500,000 low-grade ones. Besides that, there was even a vase of immortal pills; these were Tier 1 Immortal Pills which were meant for Heavenly Immortal cultivators. "Senior, this is too much." Dou Hualong hurriedly passed the ring back to Mo Wuji. The value of the things inside was already close to 10,000 high-grade immortal crystals. He had only helped Mo Wuji find a room. Moreover, Mo Wuji even treated him to a flask of Green Bamboo Immortal Wine. Mo Wuji waved his hand and smiled, "I¡¯m not giving you these things for free; there¡¯s also a communication bead inside. I will be cultivating behind closed doors here, but if there¡¯s any important event happening in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, please inform me. For example, if an important figure comes, that sect recruitment event, or others of the like. If you do this well, after I come out, I will be sure to reward you with a good immortal equipment." A few hundred thousand low-grade immortal crystals, to Mo Wuji, was completely useless. And as he confined himself here, he couldn¡¯t stay blind to everything around him. For example, if a Heavenly Emperor comes to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he would need someone to relay him that message. Moreover, he saw in Dou Hualong the shadow of himself when he first arrived in Zhen Xing. "Senior, please rest assured. I will definitely do this well." When Dou Hualong heard that Mo Wuji only had such a minor request, he immediately patted his chest in agreement. This was practically his usual job; it could be said that Mo Wuji¡¯s request wasn¡¯t even considered a request. "Alright, then you can go off on your own business. I also need to rest." After sending Dou Hualong off, Mo Wuji started to install a defensive array in his room. Fortunately, all the rooms here had a spirit gathering array, so Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to install one and incite the displeasure from others. ¡­ Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Garden. This place was one of the places in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins with the richest spiritual energy; it was also where the various sects held their gatherings throughout the years. Regardless of the seasons, Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Garden was filled with beautiful flowers; its environment was especially pleasing. Even though the entire garden was in the open, it was actually protected by all sorts of arrays. Thus it didn¡¯t matter whether the outside weather was blustering storms or heavy blizzards, it would always be warm and beautiful Spring in the garden. At this instant, the gates to the garden were wide open. One by one, young men and women brimming with vibrant immortal energy walked inside the garden. A deacon with a loud and clear voice stood by the entrance; as the cultivators walked in, he would announce their names loudly. "Welcoming Mahesvara Immortal Domain Hidden Mountain Immortal Dao Sect¡¯s Seven Star Genius Bai Yinping into the Immortal Ruins Garden!" "Welcoming Luo Ling Immortal Domain Great Sword Path¡¯s Nine Star Genius Fang Shijiang into the Immortal Ruins Garden!" "Welcoming Gods Immortal Domain Immortal God Sect¡¯s Eight Star Genius Nai He into the Immortal Ruins Garden." "Welcoming Zero Heaven Immortal Domain Surging Dragon Golden River¡¯s Seven Star Genius Ao Tiancheng into the Immortal Ruins Garden!" "Welcoming Sala Buddha Immortal Domain Seven Buddha Great Temple¡¯s Nine Star Genius Yi Ning into the Immortal Ruins Garden!" "Welcoming Six Paths Immortal Domain Devil Moon Immortal School¡¯s Eight Star Genius Lin Gu into the Immortal Ruins Garden!" "Welcoming Mahesvara Immortal Domain Lightning Sect¡¯s Eight Star Genius Gu Zijian into the Immortal Ruins Garden!" ¡­ Murong Xiangyu, who had already entered the garden, looked calm on the surface, but she was completely unable to calm herself down inside. As a Six Star Genius, she was already considered a genius among geniuses in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, in this place where geniuses gather, she found that she wasn¡¯t even considered anything much. The Supreme Dao Sect, in front of all these huge sects, did not mean much either. Standing by Murong Xiangyu¡¯s side, Qiao Qianyan whispered, "Junior Sister Xiangyu, that Lightning Sect used to be from our Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and a branch of their sect still remains in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Now, Lightning Sect is one of the biggest sects in Mahesvara Immortal Domain." Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t reply as she simply looked to the front. In front of her, not only were there Seven and Eight Star Geniuses, there were even Nine Star ones. She seemed to feel that her vision used to be so narrow. Must she choose to fall in love with Qiao Qianyan? To be honest, she didn¡¯t think anything special of Qiao Qianyan. It¡¯s just that the seniors from the sect said that the two of them were suitable, which was why her master wanted her to choose Qiao Qianyan. But when compared to the other geniuses here, she discovered that Qiao Qianyan didn¡¯t even count for anything much. If Qiao Qianyan didn¡¯t even count for much, then it would be even more so for Yan Ye. At a place like this, Yan Ye might not even be able to be a gardener, Murong Xiangyu slightly furrowed her brows; the reason why she brought Yan Ye here wasn¡¯t that she wanted to fall in love with him, but because she wanted to completely erase him from her thoughts. Sometimes, forgetting about someone wasn¡¯t about not meeting him, but having a greater understanding of him. As she thought of this, she suddenly thought that she really should have brought Yan Ye for this gathering. Perhaps, she could completely forget about this man that was once her husband. However, Murong Xiangyu sighed; would such a place allow Yan Ye? Even the worst one here was a Five Star Genius. Those below the Five Star grade wasn¡¯t even allowed here. A loud and warm voice interrupted Murong Xiangyu¡¯s thoughts. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Hu, I¡¯m from Ding Po Immortal City, my talent is rated eight stars. We have gathered here today to have a mutual corroboration of our Daos, to get rid of the weeds and keep the flowers, allowing us to reach a higher level. At the same time, the third level of the Broken World would soon open. All of us have yet to break into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. I believe that this isn¡¯t because everyone is unable to do so, but because everyone is waiting to go to the third level of the Broken World. Because the moment you break into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage there, you would be able to reach the fourth level, or even higher." Chen Hu¡¯s figure was tall and big; his entire face was covered by a beard, and his was simply brimming with immortal energy. For some people, they might never be able to reach the Grand Yi Immortal Stage in their entire lifetimes. But just as he said, for these geniuses, they only need one cultivation session and they would be able to charge into Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Chen Hu¡¯s words incited a round of applause. He nodded, then continued, "I believe that many, if not all of the peak geniuses from the seven Immortal Domains are here today. I believe that even the top geniuses of the entire Immortal World are here. For example, Great Sword Path''s Dao Friend Fang Shijiang, Seven Buddha Great Temple''s Nine Star Genius Dao Friend Yi Ning¡­" A voice suddenly interrupted Chen Hu¡¯s words, "It''s true that many geniuses are here, but I do not agree when Dao Friend Chen Hu says that the top genius is here." Anyone that could come to this garden were the most exceptional geniuses among outstanding ones. Even though Chen Hu was only an Eight Star Genius, many people believed that his talent was no less than a Nine Star Genius. Moreover, he practices fleshly body techniques, which made his combat power far superior compared to others in the same stage. Moreover, it was rumoured that Chen Hu¡¯s father was an Emperor-level expert, and his Ding Po Immortal City was one of the top immortal cities in the entire Immortal World. So when Chen Hu came forward to speak, no one found it out of the ordinary. In fact, they felt that it was the most natural course of action. However, no one expected that before Chen Hu could finish his opening speech, someone would step forward to interrupt him. When the geniuses saw who was the person, they all remained silent. No one dared to rebut her, even the Chen Hu who had been refuted was helpless against her. She was a girl with a head full of white hair. Her name was Nai He, and she came from the most mysterious Immortal Domain, Gods Immortal Domain. Not only that, she was from the top sect there - Immortal God School. Chen Hu clasped his fists and said, "So it''s Junior Sister Nai He. I wonder, in Junior Sister Nai He''s eyes, who could be considered the top genius." Nai He was in the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. Since Chen Hu was also of great origins, she didn''t mind when he called her ''junior sister¡¯. Nai He no longer spoke with her critical tone. Instead, she spoke solemnly, "Back when I was in the Great Circle of the Golden Immortal Stage, I met a cultivator in the Worldly Immortal Stage. According to my estimates, that person should have just stepped into the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage, he definitely wasn''t higher than Worldly Immortal Level 5. During that time, I fought with him. As a result, both my legs were crippled, while he escaped unscathed. If I didn''t have a talisman, I suspect that I would have died that day." "What?" When they heard Nai He''s words, everyone stared at Nai He in aghast. Even if she wanted to joke, she should make it realistic right? A cultivator at the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage was able to deal with a Great Circle Golden Immortal? He even almost killed that Golden Immortal? "Dao Friend Nai He must be joking, right?" A cultivator frowned and asked. This was the same question that everyone else wanted to ask. Everyone here were geniuses, they were all existences that could challenge those at higher levels. However, the fact remains that no one would be able to fight a Great Circle Golden Immortal while at the Worldly Immortal Stage. Even if an ancient expert reincarnated, it would still be impossible. Moreover, many of them were familiar with Nai He; they knew that this woman was strong. Nai He sighed, "Even if I don''t want to believe it, it still remains the truth. Even though I was using a regulation talisman then, that person¡¯s ability was truly overbearing. Not only was he very intelligent, his methods were also very sharp and decisive. During that time, I fell into a space canyon with him, and while we in that canyon, I got plotted by him. No, ''plot¡¯ isn''t the right word. I lost to him in a true head-on battle. Over these years, I advanced from the Great Circle of the Golden Immortal Stage to the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. I believe that he had also come to the Immortal World, and he would have definitely closed up on the gap between us. Perhaps he might be reaching the Golden Immortal Stage soon. This was the strongest genius cultivator that I''ve met. If I were to ever meet him again, even if I''m not constricted by a regulation talisman, I do not have the confidence to say that I will win him. I also dare say that if his cultivation level is roughly the same as mine, I would only be able to flee." Chapter 505: Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Chapter 505: Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Junior Sister Nai He, can you explain the exact situation?" A man with a black, sheathless sword on his back, and sharp sword-like brows stood forward and clasped his fists towards Nai He. Everyone knew this man; he was Luo Ling Immortal Domain Great Sword Path''s Nine Star Genius Fang Shijiang. It''s said that his attainments in the Sword Dao had reached the extreme stage; the moment his sword appeared, the entire atmosphere would be filled with his Sword Qi. Moreover, this man has dedicated his entire life to the Sword Dao. In his else, there was only the sword; everything else was secondary. What left everyone fearful of him was that when Fang Shijiang was in the late Xuan Immortal Stage, he was able to kill a Grand Yi Immortal. This was a Grand Yi Immortal; even the weakest Grand Yi Immortal could not be compared against a Xuan Immortal. This was the difference in both quality and quantity. By the time one reaches the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, his primordial spirit would evolve and expand, and his ability would rise by maybe even more than a hundredfold? One can clearly see, how difficult it was got a Xuan Immortal to kill a Grand Yi Immortal. However, Fang Shijiang did just that. As Fang Shijiang asked this question, everyone turned to look at Nai He; everyone wanted to know what was the situation at that point in time. The white-haired Nai He bowed, "Greetings Senior Brother Fang. During that time, because my ability was stronger than his, he could only flee at the start." When another female cultivator heard this, she patted her chest and said, "I thought that Sister Nai He had a huge head-on battle with that person. So it turns out that he used a talisman to escape, then sneakily find a way to ambush Sister Nai He." Expressions of understanding appeared on the others¡¯ faces; if a Worldly Immortal used a talisman to escape and used some concealing technique, it wouldn''t be impossible to ambush a Golden Immortal with a regulation talisman like Nai He. However, at the end of the day, that victory would be due to luck. While there might be some hints of talent, it wasn''t as terrifying as Nai He made it out to be. Nai He shook her head, "Unfortunately, that''s not the case. He didn''t use any escape talisman; he simply continuously fled while in space. I was able to track him with my spiritual will, but after chasing him for entire months, I was still unable to shorten the gap¡­" Even though everyone here in this garden were peak geniuses, they could not help but shudder when they heard Nai He''s words. A Worldly Immortal, without using any talisman, was able to escape from a Golden Immortal''s pursuit for months. How could he simply be a simple genius? There was no need to talk about that Worldly Immortal''s escape-type sacred art. Just his endurance alone could not be matched by ordinary people. One must know that even though a Golden Immortal would be constricted by the regulation talisman, he would still have his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will. Thus, he would not tire easily. This cultivator was able to flee from Nai He for months, this clearly showed that this person''s endurance was simply stupefying. "Eventually, he slowed down. Otherwise, I wouldn''t know how long I would have to chase him for. When he stopped, I even thought that his endurance had reached its limits; I never expected that he would enter a space canyon. When we were in that canyon he completely dominated me. It could be said that during that battle, whether it was ability or intellect, I lost to him completely." Nai He''s voice was soft and solemn; everyone could even tell from her voice that her heart had suffered an impact because of this incident. After some time, Fang Shijiang sighed, "When this person comes to the Immortal World, I must have a battle with him. Is Junior Sister Nai He able to tell me his name and what he looks like?" Nai He shook her head but didn''t say anything further. There was also another matter which she didn''t reveal, which was that cultivator was able to understand spatial laws while only in the Worldly Immortal Stage. Furthermore, it wasn''t a simple scratch on the surface of spatial laws; it was a deep enough understanding which allowed him to escape for months. That was simply terrifying. A bald youth stood forward, rubbed his head and laughed heartily, breaking the peculiar atmosphere, "We will eventually see that genius. However, it wasn''t easy for us to gather here today, so let''s discuss the Dao. Let me start. Even though my Seven Buddha Great Temple cultivates the Buddhist Dao, the 3,000 Great Daos are very similar¡­" ¡­ At this instant, Mo Wuji was furiously absorbing immortal spiritual energy. Compared to when he was cultivating on the ship, his current speed was faster by multiple folds. A message appeared on the communication bead which was placed beside him. However, Mo Wuji didn''t care about that communication bead but continued to absorb immortal spiritual energy relentlessly. It was unknown how much time passed. A vast and strong energy caused all the meridians in Mo Wuji to roar; intense immortal elemental energy and thick spiritual will burst outwards, Mo Wuji suddenly stood up and stretched his limbs. After a month behind closed doors, he had finally advanced into the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage. If he were to fight against that Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s Xuan Immortal, he should be able to eliminate that fella more easily. Mo Wuji took a look at his communication bead. This Dou Hualong was really dutiful, in just a month, he actually sent more than ten messages. The first message was about the gathering of the countless peak geniuses from the seven Immortal Domains, where they would discuss their dao insights. It was at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Garden; and for this gathering, the worst was already at the Five Star grade. Crowds of rogue cultivators had filled the outside of the garden, all so they could hear some of the geniuses¡¯ discussions. The second message was that an Immortal Emperor from Six Paths Immortal Domain had passed by Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, staying at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins for three days. The third message was that the third level of the Broken World was going to open; it''s rumoured that the Broken World''s third level hid large amounts of treasures and resources. The reason why the geniuses had gathered at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was to go to the Broken World''s third level. The fourth message was that a Grand Yi Immortal had unknowingly offended a Seven Star Genius from Luo Ling Immortal Domain. As a result, he was killed on site by an expert from Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. The fifth message was that a genius cultivator from the devil domain had won 49 battles in a row in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins¡¯ Life-Death Battlestage. The sixth message was that the transfer array from the seven Immortal Domains to Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had been opened. All pill refiners can test their skills at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and obtain an acknowledgement of their level. It would last for a period of one month. When Mo Wuji saw this message, his heart started pounding. He was now a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King. If he entered the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, wouldn''t he be able to get some status for himself? He would ask Dou Hualong about this later. As he thought of this, he immediately sent Dou Hualong a message. Although the later messages weren''t very important, Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of Dou Hualong really changed. His expenditure of that 10,000 immortal crystals was really worth it; each message had increased his knowledge and experience. This Dou Hualong was intelligent and reliable; his character was also not bad. It was not a bad idea to bring him in. Mo Wuji didn''t need to wait very long. Just as he changed into a new set of clothes, Dou Hualong had arrived. "Senior is out." The moment Dou Hualong arrived, he grinned and clasped his fists. Mo Wuji smiled and asked, "Hualong, how did you come to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins?" Dou Hualong¡¯s eyes turned dim, "Those years ago, a few seniors thought that I was clever, so they wanted me to help them with some administrative work. They said that Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was filled with opportunity. However, only after I arrived, I found that my cultivation wasn''t high enough to enter into space, much less go to the Broken World. I really wanted to go, but I never had many immortal crystals. Ultimately, I can only do some odd jobs around Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." "Then what about the people who brought you here?" Mo Wuji asked. Dou Hualong sighed, "Those seniors said that they were going to the Broken World. However, they have never returned to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." Mo Wuji nodded, "But you can''t go on like this. And, you don''t even have time to cultivate for yourself. I do have an idea though, why don''t you work for me. When I leave Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, I will bring you with me." Dou Hualong immediately cheered, "Senior, I¡¯m willing; I¡¯m willing times one million." Mo Wuji¡¯s suggestion was simply Dou Hualong¡¯s greatest wish. The reason why he was collecting immortal crystals was also because he wanted to leave Sharphorn Immortal Domain. Now that he¡¯s at Sharphorn Immortal Domain, besides going to the Broken World or into space, there was nowhere else he could earn immortal crystals. He, Dou Hualong, wanted power but he didn¡¯t have it; he wanted abilities but he didn¡¯t have that either. Thus, he could only stay at Sharphorn Immortal Domain and do some odd jobs. "My current alias is called Yan Ye. Next time, you don¡¯t have to call me Senior, Big Brother is fine. My real name is Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji said. Dou Hualong hurriedly said, "Yes Big Brother. I definitely wouldn¡¯t reveal Big Brother¡¯s real name." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really mind. Even if his real name was revealed, it wouldn¡¯t matter much. After all, this wasn¡¯t Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Moreover, he didn¡¯t intend to follow Murong Xiangyu anymore; and he believed that she wouldn¡¯t really mind that either. "Where are you staying now?" "I¡¯m staying at the corner of an alley. I come out and work during the day," Dou Hualong replied awkwardly. The rooms in Sharphorn Immortal Domain was incomparably expensive; even the cheapest rooms could not be afforded by people like Dou Hualong. Mo Wuji patted Dou Hualong¡¯s shoulder, "In the future, you can stay with me. There¡¯s a spare room here, you can cultivate in the spare room." "Many thanks, Big Brother." Dou Hualong was incomparably happy. He had helped Mo Wuji find this room, but in reality, he had never stayed in such an expensive room before. Mo Wuji smiled, "In the future, we are brothers. I still have some brothers that are not here now, I will introduce them to you in the future. Oh right, in your message, you mentioned about the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. You also talked about the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Pill Dao Pagoda opening, and that it is allowing for the assessment of pill refiners. What¡¯s that about?" During this period of interaction with Mo Wuji, Dou Hualong knew that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very clear about this kind of common knowledge. So he explained in a detailed manner, "Big Brother, this Pill Dao Immortal Alliance is no ordinary place. Even though there are seven Immortal Domains in the Immortal World, the power of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance is no lesser than the Heavenly Emperor of an Immortal Domain. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has encampments in all the Immortal Domains, so being able to earn the recognition of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance is a huge honour. It¡¯s even more prestigious than being some Star-grade genius." After a short pause, Dou Hualong continued, "Moreover, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance doesn¡¯t prohibit its members from joining other sects. For example, if Big Brother is a pill refiner in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, you can still join a big sect." Mo Wuji rejoiced and immediately said, "Come, Hualong, let¡¯s immediately go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins¡¯ Pill Dao Immortal Alliance encampment. I¡¯m ready to get recognised as a pill refiner in the alliance." "Big Brother, you¡¯re an Immortal Pill Monarch?" Dou Hualong stared at Mo Wuji in shock. Immediately, he came to an understanding; if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a pill monarch, how could he be so rich? Being able to follow an Immortal Pill Monarch, he, Dou Hualong, had really struck it now. Chapter 506: Pill Dao Pagoda Assessment Chapter 506: Pill Dao Pagoda Assessment Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The teritory owned by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was very huge. Under Dou Hualong¡¯s guidance, Mo Wuji was soon able to see four huge green words in the distance: Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Behind the four green words, there was a luxurious building that occupied tens of thousands of square meters in area. An imposing demonic beast stood guard at the entrance of this building. Even though Mo Wuji had yet to approach it, he could already feel its intense and oppressive aura. What a dignified style. To be able to occupy tens of thousands of square meters in a place like Sharphorn Immortal Domain clearly wasn¡¯t a simple matter. As Mo Wuji and Dou Hualong walked into the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s great hall, they saw a large flow of cultivators streaming in; many of them were here to request for pills. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had a specialised window to request pills. First, you would tell the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance the pill you wanted, then pay the required remuneration and ingredients. After some time, the pill could be collected. As he saw the rows of cultivators queuing up to pass storage rings filled with immortal crystals and all sorts of immortal herbs into that window, Mo Wuji could not help but sigh with emotion; this Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was simply making bucket loads of money. "Big Brother, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would take 50% of the pills in the batch, and at the same time, would require cultivators to pay for the service with immortal crystals. If Big Brother is able to become a pill refiner in the Pill Dao Immortal Aliance, you would be able to use your pill refiner token to get a discount on the pills and herbs you purchase. I even heard that Pill Kings, depending on the tier, would even be able to collect a set amount of immortal herbs for free," Dou Hualong whispered into Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. So good? Mo Wuji started to feel that coming to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was the right choice. Dou Hualong clearly came here before; he was quickly able to bring Mo Wuji to the assessment registration area, "Big Brother, register here. After you register, you can go in for the assessment." There weren¡¯t many people registering for the assessment. After instructing Dou Hualong to wait for him outside, Mo Wuji went to the registration area. "May I ask whether I can register to become a pill refiner in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance?" At the registration area, there was only an elder that had white hair and a white beard. After Mo Wuji walked in, this elder did not seem to have any reaction, so Mo Wuji had to take the initiative to ask. The elder seemed to find that Mo Wuji was ordinary; after sizing Mo Wuji up, he said, "Yes, if you¡¯re registering for the pill refiner assessment, you would need to pay 100,000 high grade immortal crystals." "So expensive?" Mo Wuji could not help but lament. 100,000 high grade immortal crystals, this amount was enough to cause even him to have a headache. "That is the price." The elder spoke extremely slowly. As for Mo Wuji¡¯s comment about it being ¡®expensive¡¯, he completely ignored it. Then Mo Wuji said helplessly, "Then this price is for the assessment of which tier of pill refiners?" Mo Wuji was extremely worried that he would have to pay 100,000 high grade immortal crystals for the assessment of a Tier 1 Pill Monarch alone. If this carried on, then wouldn¡¯t he have to spend 400,000 high grade immortal crystals to get to the Tier 4 Pill King assessment? The elder said indifferently, "100,000 high grade immortal crystals registration fee. Only one assessment allowed every hundred years. The assessment venue is the Pill Dao Pagoda; the pagoda has a total of 10 levels, passing the first level equates to a Tier 1 Immortal Pill Monarch, the second level corresponds to a Tier 2 Immortal Pill Monarch level¡­ and so on. The moment one fails in a level, he would be transfered out." Mo Wuji finally understood the system, 100,000 high grade immortal crystals would allow him to run rampage in the Pill Dao Pagoda. The level he got to would correspond to his tier as a pill refiner. "Senior, may I ask, does the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance have many Pill Dao Pagodas. The elder glanced at Mo Wuji unpleasantly; if everyone had so much nonsense to utter, then he would no longer be willing to do this registration job. "The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance only has one Pill Dao Pagoda. No matter what Immortal Domain you''re from, you would be transfered there for the assessment." Even though the elder was rather annoyed, he still answered Mo Wuji''s question. Mo Wuji had already settled his doubts. He didn''t ask any further questions as he retrieved a storage bag and passed it to the elder, "There are 100,000 high grade immortal crystals in here. I want to register for the assessment to become a pill refiner for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." In his heart, the elder was cursing Mo Wuji''s pettiness. Which one of the pill refiners registering wouldn''t put their immortal crystals in a storage ring? Only this fella would use a storage bag to store the immortal crystals. After accepting the immortal crystals, he asked in a routine manner, "Name, status, place of origin?" "Mo Wuji, rogue cultivator, Chang Luo." Mo Wuji also answered in an extremely simple manner. The elder inscribed Mo Wuji''s details onto a clean, white jade token, then handed it to Mo Wuji, "This is the transfer jade token that will allow you to enter the Pill Dao Pagoda. Just head over to the top floor." After saying this, he went back to his dazed state, acting as though Mo Wuji didn''t even exist. Mo Wuji didn''t care much about it as he brought his jade token to the top floor. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s hall had a total of seven floors. The moment Mo Wuji entered the seventh floor, he immediately saw the spatial array gate. Mo Wuji guessed that this array gate should be the one leading to the Pill Dao Pagoda. There were two middle-aged cultivators sitting in the center of the room, and there were two pretty female cultivators standing at the entrance. The moment Mo Wuji entered, the two female cultivators bowed respectfully, then proceeded to move to the side. It was roughly similar to a VIP room back on Earth. Even though the two middle-aged cultivators were sitting, Mo Wuji could immediately feel the pill aura exuded from the two of them. These two were clearly pill refiners. "Assessed pill refiners can use the jade token to enter the spatial array gate. If you have been transported back here, it would mean that the assessment has ended." "Many thanks dao friends." After that simple thanks, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to walk into the array gate, disappearing from the seventh floor. The moment Mo Wuji left, the middle-aged cultivator that spoke to him began to shake his head, "Ah, the people nowadays are far too ambitious. That young man didn''t look very old, he didn''t even have any pill fragrance on him, and he didn''t even have wood-type spiritual roots, but he still dared to assess himself as a pill refiner." "Even though he wasn''t old, he was still able to bring out 100,000 high grade immortal crystals. From the looks of it, he should be a disciple from a huge sect," The other pill refiner added. "Not necessarily," The first pill refiner shook his head again, "his spiritual aura wasn''t obvious and he seemed to be in the early Golden Immortal Stage. For a young cultivator that doesn''t have a strong spiritual aura, but yet have such a cultivation, his cultivation should have been the result of countless of immortal pills. This would also mean that his future potential is limited. Big sects wouldn''t accept such a disciple. Moreover, it isn''t very difficult to earn 100,000 high grade immortal crystals in a place like Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." ... Mo Wuji naturally didn¡¯t know that he was being seen as an overambitious person; at this instant, he was in a similar hall. The hall was rectangular in shape, and at the two sides, there were places to concoct pills. The end of the rectangular hall was blocked by a black murky gate. Some words were floating at the center of the hall: Pill Dao Pagoda Level 1, Acknowledging Tier 1 Immortal Pill Monarchs. Roughly 80% of the spots on the two sides have already been filled. Even without asking, Mo Wuji knew that these people should be the same as him; they were all here to attain the qualifications from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. No one paid any heed when Mo Wuji entered. Here, there would continuously be assessed pill refiners being sent in, and they would continuously be people being sent out. Everyone came from all the various corners of the universe, so there was completely no need to care about each other¡¯s names. Mo Wuji walked to one of the pill concocting spots and sat down. Thereafter, he learned from the rest of the assessed pill refiners and placed his jade token into the groove in front of his seat. Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of white light from another pill refiner¡¯s jade token. Just when Mo Wuji was wondering whether this fella had passed or failed, he saw the black gate at the end of the room open. The pill refiner picked up his glowing jade token and excitedly rushed through the gate. Everyone looked at him with envy. Being able to leave the pagoda¡¯s first level meant that he was recognised by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance as a Tier 1 Pill Monarch. Only when one succeeded in concocting the pill, would his jade token illuminate and open the gate. If the pill concoction failed, he would have been directly transfered out. If someone else opened the gate and you forcefully tried to enter, you would have been transported out, indicating that you have failed. If two people succeeded at the same time, only one of them could enter the gate. After the gate closed, it would open a second time and the other pill refiner would be able to enter. So that¡¯s what¡¯s going on. After understanding the situation, Mo Wuji brought his attention back to what was happening in front of his seat. At the side of the groove, a display screen appeared. 100 questions appeared on the display screen. Within these 100 questions, some only showed the name of an immortal herb, and the shape of the immortal herb must be drawn out. Some gave the name of the herbs, and the herbs¡¯s special characteristics must be written. There were even some that showed the shape of the immortal herb, and its name and special characteristics must be written. To Mo Wuji, these questions were extremely easy. At this point, he felt especially grateful towards Han Qingru; if Han Qingru hadn¡¯t given him ¡®Grass, Wood, Stone¡¯ to him, he really wouldn¡¯t have developed such a vast pool of knowledge towards immortal herbs. Answering the questions were also very easy, he only needed to inscribe words or draw using his spiritual will. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji was able to answer all 100 questions. Just when Mo Wuji answered the last question, a green leaf appeared on the display screen. Thereafter, the assessment criteria for the second round appeared: concoct a batch of Immortal Jade Pills, 50% of the batch intermediate grade or above. After which, a pile of immortal herbs was transported in front of Mo Wuji. This was simply too easy. Mo Wuji had never concocted high grade Immortal Jade Pills before; all his Immortal Jade Pills were unique grade ones. Purification, refining, essence extraction, essence separation, pill condensation, pill seperation¡­ Mo Wuji did things one step at a time, not facing a single hitch or delay. In the same half an incense¡¯s time, a batch of unique grade Immortal Jade Pills appeared within pill furnace. Mo Wuji placed the pills in the jade vase provided, then placed the jade vase on the transfer array rune. The instant the jade vase got transported away, Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token emitted a gentle white light. Following which, the black gate to the second level opened. Mo Wuji stood up and pulled out his jade token, then he swiftly went through the gate. Only after Mo Wuji disappeared, did the other pill refiners in the first level react. "Was he even here for an incense of time? He just completed the Tier 1 Pill Monarch assessment like that? Could he be a Pill King?" "Even a Pill King wouldn¡¯t be so fast. I wonder what¡¯s the quality of his Tier 1 Immortal Pill?" Chapter 507: Assessment At The Fourth Level Chapter 507: Assessment At The Fourth Level Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji had already reached the Pill Dao Pagoda¡¯s second level. Its layout was exactly the same as the first level; the only difference was that the number of people here were far lesser than that in the first level, it probably wasn¡¯t even 10% of the number at the first level. With the experience of one assessment, Mo Wuji immediately found a place to sit and palced his jade token into the groove in front of his seat. The moment the jade token entered the groove, the question appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s display screen, "Please write, what must be taken note of when concocting the Immortal Clarity Pill? How can one improve the quality of the Immortal Clear Pill?" This question was even simpler than the previous one. Mo Wuji¡¯s Pill Dao was completely manifested from his own cultivation technique. The details to concocting pills was exactly like when he cultivated, he gained insights and understood them thoroughly. Perhaps this question might be complicated to other cultivators, but to Mo Wuji, it wasn¡¯t anything much. The primary use of the Immortal Clarity Pill is for cultivators below the Xuan Immortal Stage to attain a clear heart when cultivating, preventing one from suffering from cultivation deviation. When concocting this pill, one must be free from distractions, and the higher the pill refiner¡¯s state of heart, the greater the quality of the pill. When Mo Wuji was practising this pill, he also understood one important lesson: as long as the Immortal Clarity Pill¡¯s main ingredient, the Silver Rings Flower, was purified to 98% purity and above, it would definitely yield the highest quality of Immortal Clarity Pills. Of course, this sort of purification standards was only achievable by someone like Mo Wuji. For most pill refiners, it would already be extremely exceptional if they were even able to purify the Silver Rings Flower to 90%. Mo Wuji even thought of what he should do if such a situation happened. If the Silver Rings Flower¡¯s essence wasn¡¯t brought to the right purity, another immortal herb could be added, the Tier 2 Immortal Spotted Fruit. The Immortal Spotted Fruit would be able to complement the Silver Rings Flower; this was something Mo Wuji thought of from his own experience. Back when he was on Earth, he had also frequently tried reacting different ingredients to produce special drugs. However, he had only thought of that method, but he had never actually tried it. After all, he could easily refine the Silver Rings Flower to 90% purity. He completely had no need to add the Immortal Spotted Fruit; it would be akin to taking out his pants as he farted. Today, since he met with this question, Mo Wuji would naturally write his own thoughts into the question. He only needed a few minutes to answer the first question; Mo Wuji guessed that the second question was to concoct the Immortal Clarity Pill. As expected, after he answered the first question, the herbs delivered in front of him were exactly the ingredients for the Immortal Clarity Pill. The requirements were to concoct a batch of Immortal Clarity Pills, which contained at least 10% of high grade pills and 60% of intermediate grade ones. The number of Immortal Clarity Pills in a batch was 18. In the past, following Mo Wuji¡¯s methods, he was easily able to concoct 18 unique grade pills. As Mo Wuji was concocting the pills, he thought of the question that he had just answered; if he was able to concoct 18 unique grade pills at a go, then wouldn¡¯t that mean that his purification degree had already reached 98%? Mo Wuji was very clear that the reason why his purification standard could exceed 98% wasn¡¯t simply because of his heavenly fire. It was primarily because of his spirit storage channel. When he was concocting pills, the spirit storage channel was much more effective than the Mind Palace¡¯s spiritual will. When he used his spirit storage channel to control the fluids in the pill furnace, it felt as though he was separating them with his own hands; his control was absolutely clear. The spirit storage channel could also be considered his secret. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji decided to reserve his powers; he only purified the medicinal essence to 95%, then he used it to condense three unique grade pills, while the rest were all high grade ones. As the Immortal Clarity Pills got transfered away, Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token started to exude a glimmer. The gate from the Pill Dao Pagoda¡¯s second level to the third level opened. As Mo Wuji grabbed his jade token and entered the third level, everyone in the second level was shocked still. One of them even failed in his pill concoction in his daze, and got transported out. However, they could not help but be shocked; they had never seen someone spend only a little over half an incense¡¯s time to pass the Tier 2 Immortal Pill Monarch assessment. ¡­ As he entered the Pill Dao Pagoda¡¯s third level, Mo Wuji only saw five to six other pill refiners there. Mo Wuji was already familiar with the procedures. After he injected his jade token into the groove, he found out that this level only had one question, which was to concoct the Drizzle Pill. Mo Wuji immediately felt especially fortunate that he was able to get the Drizzle Pill pill formula back in the Ying Bian City. Otherwise, even if the herbs got delivered here, he would meet with some delays. After all, this was an examination, and he only had one try. Even if he was any stronger, he did not dare confirm that he was able to concoct the best batch of Drizzle Pill in a single try whilst without the pill formula. What was a pill formula? A pill formula was not only the record of the different ingredients required for the pill, it also contained the specific quantity of the herbs required and the order it should be place. It even contained the key points to note when concocting the pill. Of course, to Mo Wuji, he only needed the ingredients to concoct the pill. Even without the pill formula, he would still be able to gradually deduce it. However, since this was an assessment, he would naturally follow according to the pill formula to save time and effort. A batch of Drizzle Pills was easily concocted. Even though Mo Wuji was reserving his abilities, he still concocted half a batch of unique grade pills and half a batch of high grade pills. This time, Mo Wuji used even less time. He merely spent half an incense¡¯s time before the gate to the fourth level opened. When he was at the first level, he used more than an incense¡¯s time. At the second level, he used a little more than half an incense¡¯s time. Now at the third level, he actually only used half an incense¡¯s time. For other people, they would spend more time as they got to the higher levels. But for him, he spent less and less time. There was originally very few people in the third level; there were only five to six people. Mo Wuji¡¯s flabbergasting act of passing the Tier 3 Immortal Pill Monarch assessment in half an incense¡¯s time directly caused two of the other pill refiners to fail in their concoction. They were sent out immediately. ¡­ The Pill Dao Pagoda¡¯s fourth level was no longer a rectangular shaped hall; it was a archetypal pill room. There was only a pill furnace in the pill room. Other than that, there was also a rest room. Clearly, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance knew that there wouldn¡¯t be many pill kings, so one pill furnace was enough. At the other end of the pill room, there was a faint gold staircase. The staircase was enveloped in mist, and it was competely unable to be seen through. Mo Wuji guessed that this faint gold staircase led to the fifth leel of the Pill Dao Pagoda. Mo Wuji knew that with his current abilities, he could only concoct Tier 4 Immortal Pills, which was equivalent to being a Tier 4 Immortal Pill King. Thus, he did not really care about the gold staircase. Mo Wuji inserted his jade token into the groove beside the pill furnace. An even larger screen appeared in front of him; the screen showed the rules of the level. "All pill refiners taking part in the Tier 4 Immortal Pill King assessment, you can choose the pill that you want to concoct. As long as you succeed in the pill concoction, you can bring away two pills as a reward. Pill refiners can choose to use your own pill furnace and flames. Pill refiners that chose the Grand Yi True Pill and fail, would need to pay immortal crystals. No matter what pill you choose, at least 90% of the batch must be in the intermediate grade and above to pass." As he continued to read downwards, he found that there were indeed various pill formuas. Right at the front, was the Grand Yi True Pill. Following it, was the Deadwood Pill, the Spirit Cleansing Pill, the Yi Immortal Pill¡­ There was a total of ten pill formulas. A failure in the Grand Yi True Pill required a payment of immortal crystals; Mo Wuji could understand. Even though the Grand Yi True Pill wasn¡¯t the best pill among Tier 4 pills, it was definitely one of the highly sought after ones. Moreover, the Grand Yi True Pill required the Grand Yi True Fruit, which was an incredibly rare Tier 4 Immortal Fruit. After all, this was a pill that helped a Xuan Immortal advance into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage; it could be considered a strategic immortal pill. Every single pill was incredibly easy to sell. Mo Wuji started to hesitate; if he chose the Yi Immortal Pill, he was sure that he would be able to be a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Tier 4 Immortal Pill King within an hour. However, Mo Wuji really wanted to concoct the Grand Yi True Pill, primarily because he didn¡¯t have the Grand Yi True Pill¡¯s pill formula. For any pill refiner, pill formulas were extremely important things. Moreover, with his current ability, he wasn¡¯t able to deduce the Grand Yi True Pill¡¯s pill formula by himself. All the pill formulas that he managed to deduce were for pills that were in Tier 3 or below. After spending a few minutes, Mo Wuji finally strengthened his resolve and pressed on the Grand Yi True Pill. Even if he failed, he would get to know the pill formula. That would really help when he wanted to advance into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. And even if he failed the Tier 4 Pill King assessment, he would still be a Tier 3 Pill Monarch in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Tier 3 Pill Monarch should have some status, right? As for the compensation, Mo Wuji believed that he was able to afford it. If he didn¡¯t have enough immortal crystals, he could use his immortal lattice stones. A faint light flashed and a pile of herbs appeared in front of him; the jade box which contained the Grand Yi True Pill was especially conspicuous. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with emotion; the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was really incredible. They were able to casaully bring out the ingredients for a pill like the Grand Yi True Pill just for an assessment. Mo Wuji did not immediately start the pill fire, but carefully arranged the Grand Yi True Pill¡¯s ingredients. There were more than 20 kinds of ingredients. Excluding the Grand Yi True Fruit, there were also other valuable herbs. For example, there was the Tier 4 Immortal Cedar, the Tier 4 Phoenix Wood Roots, etc. Fortunately, Mo Wuji read the "Grass, Wood Stone". Not only did he recognise these ingredients, he understood their special characteristics. After organising the ingredients, Mo Wuji started the fire, cleansing the dregs and impurities within the pill furnace. This was the first time Mo Wuji was so cautious since he entered the Pill Dao Pagoda. A whole incense¡¯s time passed. Only then, did Mo Wuji place the herbs into the pill furnace for purification. For pills below Tier 4, Mo Wuji could still choose to reserve his abilities. However, when concocting the Grand Yi True Pill, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to go all out. Moreover, he was only a Tier 4 Pill King in the first place. One immortal herb after another was purified by Mo Wuji. A whole hour passed before Mo Wuji expelled the impurities and started to mix the medicinal essenses. At the same time, his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will started to mix into the medicinal essences, as he started to detailedly analyse the merging and compatibility of the essences. Typically, Mo Wuji only spent an hour to concoct Tier 4 pills. However, for this Grand Yi True Pill, he spent four hours with the essences before he started condensing the pill. But now that he reached this stage, Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn¡¯t face any problem with the Grand Yi True Pill. The next main thing was the quality of the Grand Yi True Pill concocted. ¡­ Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s seventh floor. The middle-aged man that frowned at Mo Wuji previously suddenly stood up and stared straight at the huge display screen in front of him. He didn¡¯t even react when the jade letter in his hand fell to the ground. Chapter 508: Honored Grade Immortal Pill King Chapter 508: Honored Grade Immortal Pill King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What''s wro¡­" The other pill refiner didn''t even finish his sentence, before he immediately stood up in disbelief. He also stared straight at the display screen in astonishment. On that large array display screen, a row of gold words appeared, "Congratulations Chang Luo Pill Master Mo Wuji for passing the Pill Dao Pagoda''s Tier 4 Pill Monarch assessment. Concocted 12 Grand Yi True Pills which are all unique grade, earning the recognition as the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s honored grade Tier 4 Immortal Pill King." "Honored grade, honored grade, it''s actually the honored grade¡­" After muttering to themselves in disbelief for some time, the two of them finally returned to their countenance. Almost at the same time, they asked, "Who''s Mo Wuji?" This display screen only showed messages of congratulations when one successfully became a pill king. Moreover, it only showed the pill refiners that came from their Sharphorn Immortal Ruins branch. "Today, there were only three people that went in for the assessment. One of them had already failed and was transferred out. There are still two people; one of them is Wang He. His standards are roughly the same as mine, he should be in the Tier 2 Pill Monarch level, and there''s that¡­" The pill refiner, that was the first to stand up, muttered to himself. He suddenly stopped in his words. The two of them glanced at each other, seemingly understanding something. At the same time, the two of them started to flip the record books in front of them. Instants later, the two lifted their heads back up and gave each other meaningful glances, "It''s the last one that entered¡­" Even without speaking any further, the two knew who the last person to enter was. It was the young man that they believed to be vain and overambitious. "How could this be? He did not enter for a long period of time, but he actually reached the fourth level?" The pill refiner, that was the first to stand up, was in a daze. Just like him, the other pill refiner also hadn''t regained his countenance, as he mumbled, "It isn''t about the time, he''s actually honored grade¡­ an honored grade pill king¡­" The two of them were very clear what honored grade meant. They knew that while two pill kings might be of the same tier, there was a huge difference between the honored grade one and an average one. The number of honored grade pill kings was extremely small. Some times, a honored grade Tier 4 Pill King might even be better than a Tier 6 one. This was because to become a honored grade Tier 4 Pill King, one must concoct unique grade pills for all the levels of the assessment. It could be said that only honored grade pill kings have the chance to become a true pill emperor. ... Mo Wuji happily kept his pills. A full batch of Grand Yi True Pills contained 12 pills. Not only was he able to create a full batch, the entire batch was unique grade. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to keep two of the unique grade pills for himself, while he sent the rest off in the transfer array rune. After ten breaths of time, a faint gold light appeared within the pill room. Thereafter, a pleasing voice sounded, and a row of words appeared within the gold light, "Congratulations Chang Luo Pill Master Mo Wuji for passing the Pill Dao Pagoda''s Tier 4 Pill Monarch assessment. Concocted 12 Grand Yi True Pills which are all unique grade, earning the recognition as the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s honored grade Tier 4 Immortal Pill King." This row of words floated within the pill room for a long time without dispersing. Moreover, the gold staircase at the end of the room became clear; the fifth level of the Pill Dao Pagoda had opened. Mo Wuji was slightly lost; he didn''t immediately go to the fifth level, but stared at the row of words. Honored grade Tier 4 Pill King? Why was there two additional words? Instants later, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. It should be because he concocted a batch of unique grade Grand Yi True Pills, which was how he got the honored grade. Regardless, the honored grade was definitely better than being an average one. As he thought of this, the joy within Mo Wuji''s heart expanded. Thereafter, he grabbed his jade token and headed to the fifth level''s gold staircase. The fifth level''s layout was roughly the same as the fourth level. Mo Wuji walked up to the pill furnace and hesitated briefly. But he still inserted his own jade token into the groove. He knew that he definitely wasn''t able to concoct Tier 5 Immortal Pills, but there was nothing wrong with that; he was already very satisfied with the acknowledgement as a Tier 4 Pill King. The reason why he inserted his jade token was because he really wanted to see what Tier 5 pills there were. If there were some pill formulas that did not require compensation, then he could try it out and get a simple pill formula. However, if compensation was required, then he definitely wouldn''t try it; he was really afraid that he wasn''t able to afford it. The price of Tier 5 immortal herbs was no joke; he did not want to go bankrupt. Immediately after Mo Wuji placed the jade token into the groove, an array display screen appeared. The rules shown on the screen immediately left Mo Wuji excited: for the fifth level of the assessment, pill refiners would not need to pay any immortal crystals for failed attempts. Moreover, if they succeed, pill refiners could take away 50% of the pills. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care about successfully concocting the pill; he mainly wanted to get a pill formula. Since he did not need to pay for any failure, he could choose the pill formula he wanted; even if he failed, he could still record the pill formula down. Even though this pill formula was the simplest of pill formulas that only contained the names of the immortal herbs and nothing else, it was already enough for Mo Wuji. He believed that with his pill standards, he could quickly perfect the pill formula then concoct the pill. The screen flashed and Mo Wuji saw 20 to 30 pill formulas. Right at the front, was the Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. Then was the Alioth Gold Pill, the Purple Void Clear Pill, the Two Lives Reincarnation Pill¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes then landed on the Zhi Desolate Pill. He had saw this pill on a worn out jade letter before; it was a pill that simply couldn¡¯t be bought anywhere. Even though it didn¡¯t contain any ¡®spirit¡¯ in its name, this pill was primarily used to improve the spiritual will. Not only could it strengthen the spiritual will, it could nourish the primordial spirit; this pill was extremely valuable. This pill formula was absolutely compatible with a spiritual will tempering method. Moreover, the Zhi Desolate Pill had a sister pill, it was called the Zhi Nature Pill. It was even more valuable than the Zhi Desolate Pill. Even though the Zhi Nature Pill couldn¡¯t strengthen spiritual will, it could heal damaged spiritual will, and recover depleted spiritual will. At the same time, it could even heal damaged primordial spirits. It was extremely rare to find pills that could heal both the spiritual will and primordial spirit; it was clear that the Zhi Nature Pill was extremely valuable. Mo Wuji anxiously scrolled downwards. Unfortunately, within these 20 over pills, there wasn¡¯t the Zhi Nature Pill. This left Mo Wuji slightly disappointed; if there was the Zhi Nature Pill, he would not hesitate to pick it. Since there wasn¡¯t the Zhi Nature Pill, Mo Wuji¡¯s first choice would be the Zhi Desolate Pill. To an average person, perhaps the Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill might be more valuable, because this pill was able to help a Grand Yi Immortal advance into the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. However to Mo Wuji, this Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill was simply too distant. He was only in the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage; it was unknown when he would even reach the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. At least, he could use the Zhi Desolate Pill now; many of his sacred arts and skills depended largely on his spiritual will. This sort of spiritual will pill was akin to sending him charcoal in snowy weather. The Zhi Desolate Pill it would be. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to press the Zhi Desolate Pill. Instants later, a pile of immortal herbs appeared in front of him. Dust Washing Immortal Bamboo Shoot, Heavenly Pearl Marrow, Flowerless Buddha Fruit, Heavenly Desolate Grass¡­ Heavenly Desolate Grass? Mo Wuji picked up this ordinary looking piece of grass; it looked no different from an ordinary weed. The only special point was that this grass didn¡¯t have roots. The introduction to the Heavenly Desolate Grass in the "Grass, Wood, Stone" was very clear: this grass only grew in void places free of human activity. These void places refered to places without any life energy, five elemental essence, nor elemental eergy. It could be a void, it could be space, or it could even be in a certain corner of the planet. Among the pill formulas that Mo Wuji knew of, none of them used the Heavenly Desolate Grass. The introduction to the Heavenly Desolate Grass was very clear that it was very hard to purify. This was because the essence and impurities within the grass were completely mixed together; it was extremely hard to separate. ¡®Grass, Wood, Stone¡¯ even said that it was exactly because of this that the Heavenly Desolate Grass had such a name: the impurities and essence would forever be together till the heavens turn desolate. That¡¯s why this grass couldn¡¯t be consumed, nor could it be used for pills. He never expected that the Heavenly Desolate Grass would be an ingredient in the Zhi Desolate Pill. Unfortunately, he did not know the specific function of the Heavenly Desolate Grass in the Zhi Desolate Pill. After recording down the ingredients for the Zhi Desolate Pill, Mo Wuji immediately started. The Zhi Desolate Pill was a Tier 5 immortal pill, and according to Mo Wuji¡¯s experience, it was definitely one of the most difficult Tier 5 pills to concoct. After igniting the pill fire to clean the pill furnace, Mo Wuji sent the immortal herbs, one by one, into the pill furnace. He did not know the specific order so he could only sent them in a random manner. Fortunately, Mo Wuji¡¯s purification was top notch. He easily refined most of the immortal herbs to 98% purity, but he gave up on refining the Heavenly Desolate Pill. The moment he sent the Heavenly Desolate Pill into the pill furnace, Mo Wuji was instantly dumbfounded. The impurities in the grass instantly mixed with the essence that he had already purified; his pill techniques was completely unable to stop it. Moreover, the impurities and the essences were completed melded together. Even with Mo Wuji¡¯s purification methods, he was still clueless on what he should do to get rid of the impurities. If he forcefully tried to purify the essence, he would disrupt the entire structure of the medicinal essence, causing this batch to fail. Fortunately, Mo Wuji never intended to succeed in concocting a Tier 5 immortal pill. The reason why he even tried was because he wanted to get a pill formula. Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel spiritual will penetrated into every part of the medicinal essence, then it started to intricately separate the impurities. Time passed. Whole hours passed but Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even able to remove one-ten thousandth of the impurities. Every time he cut out a bit of the impurities, another part of the Heavenly Desolate Grass¡¯s impurities would penetrate in, causing the medicinal essence to be impure again. Three days passed and with a "Pff!" sound, a charred smell wafted out of the pill furnace. Mo Wuji knew that he had failed in this concoction, and it was a complete failure at that. Previously when Mo Wuji was practising pills, he had never failed in the purification stage. This was the first time he failed at the very first step. Chapter 509: Explosion In Status Chapter 509: Explosion In Status Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This pill definitely shouldn¡¯t be ranked at a Tier 5 immortal pill; it should have a higher tier. However, it was true that the Heavenly Desolate Grass was a Tier 5 immortal herb. Mo Wuji was still wondering how he could purify the Heavenly Desolate Grass in his head when a white light enveloped him and sent him out of the pill room. The moment the light disappeared, Mo Wuji saw his surroundings and knew that his assessment had ended. He was currently at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch¡¯s seventh floor, the same place where he left from. "Pill King Mo, I¡¯m Gong Yi and I¡¯m the Assessment Deacon for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. Congratulations Brother Mo on becoming the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s honored grade Pill King!" Before Mo Wuji could even react, a middle-aged man with a slightly thin face appeared in front of him and bowed to him. This man¡¯s voice even contained a hint of flattery. Mo Wuji recognised this fella, he was one of the two people sitted at the center of the room before the assessment. When Mo Wuji first entered, this fella didn¡¯t even stand up. "Greetings Pill King Mo. My name is He Xingwen and I am also an Asssessment Deacon for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. Congratulations Brother Mo on attaining the acknowledgement as a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s honored grade Pill King." The other pill refiner also walked over, bowed, and congratulated Mo Wuji with extreme courtesy. When he first came for the assessment, these two didn¡¯t even care about him. But now after his assessment, these two had such a great change in attitude. Mo Wuji, however, did not care too much about it. There were many of such people in the world, this Gong Yi and He Xingwen weren¡¯t the only ones. "Greetings deacons. May I ask, what does a honored grade Pill King mean?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and asked. Gong Yi had already brought a chair for Mo Wuji to sit down. Then, he explained, "After passing the Pill Dao Pagoda¡¯s fourth level, you would have already become a Pill King for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Only an extremely rare number of people would be given the ¡®honored grade¡¯ title. The condition was that you needed to concoct a full batch of unique grade immortal pills during that assessment. Only then would you earn the title of ¡®honored grade¡¯." He Xingwen added, "Compared to an ordinary Pill King, a honored grade Pill King would have much greater rewards." "What rewards?" Mo Wuji stood up excitedly. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s rewards should be not bad right? Gong Yi hurriedly said, "For an average Tier 4 Pill King, the alliance would award 50 strains of Tier 5 immortal herbs. Additionally, any pills or ingredients purchased at a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance branch would be at a 20% discount. On the other hand, not only would a honored grade Pill King be rewarded 100 strains of Tier 5 immortal herbs, he could also pick an item from the Branch Treasury. He would also be able to enjoy a 50% discount for pills and ingredients purchased at any Pill Dao Immortal Alliance branch. Moreover, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters also has other rewards¡­" Mo Wuji was incomparably elated; this was simply sending him a pillow when he wanted to sleep. The reason why he had yet to become a Tier 5 Pill King, was primarily because he never had the immortal herbs to practise on. If he had Tier 5 immortal herbs previously, he wouldn¡¯t have simply achieved the honored grade Tier 4 level. Instead, he would have been a honored grade Tier 5 Pill King. Right at this instant, a glowing light suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. Following which, a faint shadow appeared within the light. The shadow grinned and spoke to Mo Wuji, "Congratulations Pill King Mo for becoming a honored grade Tier 4 Pill King in my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. I¡¯m Nong Yong. Even though I¡¯m unable to personally go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins to congratulate you, I would still like to represent Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to congratulate Pill King Mo. I would now to bestow you your honored grade Tier 4 Pill King identity and the rewards, and at the same time, I would like to invite Pill King Mo to become a honorary elder for my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." When Gong Yi and He Xingwen saw this faint shadow, they hurriedly kneeled and said harmoniously, "Greetings Lord Pill Emperor." Gong Yi anxiously said to Mo Wuji, "Pill King Mo, this is our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters¡¯ Tier 7 Pill Emperor, Elder Nong Yong." Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Younger Student Mo Wuji greets Senior Nong. Many thanks Senior Nong for your appreciation, Mo Wuji would definitely contribute much to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." Nong Yong had a face full of smiles; he was very satisfied with Mo Wuji''s reply, especially the part about "younger student" had improved his impression of Mo Wuji. He lightly waved his hand and a storage ring had already started to float in front of Mo Wuji. A faint violet jade token also floated in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hurriedly accepted the storage ring and the jade token, then clasped his fists in gratitude. "Not bad, not bad. When you come to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters, you can come and find me." With that, Nong Yong''s figure flashed and vanished. The light in the hall also disappeared. "Greetings Elder Mo." Gong Yi and He Xingwen were now even more courteous and respectful towards Mo Wuji; they could see that Mo Wuji had a bright future ahead of him. After Mo Wuji returned the gestures, he hurriedly brought the jade token up for a look. At the corner of the jade token, there was the word ''honored¡¯. Then, there was the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s logo; it was an ancient style pill furnace with a fire on top of it. Thereafter, there were the words Tier 4 Pill King. And finally, there was a row of words: Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Honorary Elder. Mo Wuji also saw Gong Yi''s and He Xingwen''s Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Token hung at their waists. However their jade token was orange in colour and it said Tier 2 Pill Monarch. Being an honored grade was pretty solid; he hadn''t even done anything for the alliance but he had already received a reward. Furthermore, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was simply a leviathan. Now that he had the status of its honorary elder, no matter how godly that Blade Scar Mountain was, it still wouldn''t dare mess with him, right? Only that Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor still posed a problem to him. He didn''t know whether his title as a honored grade Tier 4 Pill King would be enough to fend off a Heavenly Emperor. Of course, the best thing would be for the Heavenly Emperor to not even know of him. Just when Mo Wuji wanted to take a look at what was inside the storage ring, three cultivators walked into the seventh floor. The person right at the front was a man with almond-shaped eyes. This man was very tall, he was more than an entire head taller than Mo Wuji. Based on this fella¡¯s aura, Mo Wuji could tell that this fella¡¯s cultivation was much, much higher than his; at least, he wasn¡¯t even able to discern this fella¡¯s cultivation level. Mo Wuji had met Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master, and he felt that this person¡¯s cultivation was even higher than Murong Xiangyu¡¯s master. Behind the almond eyed man, there was healthy looking elder. Even though he had some wrinkles on his face, his beard and hair were all black. His entire body seemed to exude pill aura; clearly, he was an incredible pill refiner. Beside this elder, there was a pretty woman. This woman did not have any sort of pill aura, but she had some other kind of quality that made her feel like an extreme expert. "Greetings President Shang, Pill King Gu and Manager Guo." The moment the three entered, Gong Yi and He Xingwen immediately bowed respectfully. The almond eyed man chuckled as he clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Congratulations Pill King Mo for obtaining the title of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Honored Graded Tier 4 Pill King. It is also by Sharphorn Branch¡¯s honor that Pill King Mo was willing to have your assessment here in our branch. Come, come, let us introduce ourselves to Pill King Mo. My name is Shang Yu, I¡¯m the Second President for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. Because the First President, Brother Zhang Xixu is behind closed doors, he is unable to personally come and congratulate you." As he finished that sentence, Shang Yu pointed at the healthy elder and the woman and said, "This is my Sharphorn Branch¡¯s number one Pill King, Gu Shunan. He is an existence that is infinitesimally close to the Tier 7 Pill Emperor level. The other person is my Sharphorn Branch¡¯s Manager Guo Qi." Even though Gu Shunan was a Tier 6 Pill King infinitesimally close to the Tier 7 Pill Emperor level, he was still especially courteous as he clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and said, "Pill King Mo was easily able to become a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King at such a young age, your future is clearly limitless. Ever since the inception of our Sharphorn Branch, Pill King Mo is our very first Honored Grade Pill King." Guo Qi also smiled sweetly and clasped her fists towards Mo Wuji, "Pill King Mo¡¯s future is limitless. In the future, we will have to depend on you." The moment Mo Wuji heard their introductions, he knew that they were all big shots of the Sharphorn Branch. However, he did not believe that an ordinary Tier 4 Pill King would warrant such attention and courtesy, even the Second President and the number one pill king in the branch was here. The reason why these people were here was definitely because of the ¡®Honored Grade¡¯. It was just as Gu Shunan said, he was a person with unlimited potential. Mo Wuji was also very clear that his status was still far from the people in front of him. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Seniors are too courteous. Mo Wuji greets President Shang, Pill King Gu and Manager Guo. Junior is still learning, I will still have to look to all of you for help in the future." Guo Qi snickered, "Pill King Mo, you are already a honorary elder of the Headquarters, there¡¯s no need to call us seniors. If you look up to us, then calling me Sister Guo is enough. I still have to depend on you in the future." Shang Yu chuckled, "Pill King Mo, Junior Sister Guo is right; it¡¯s best if we address ourselves without seniority. I have also come here to become an elder at my Sharphorn Branch. This is not a honorary elder title, but an actual one." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded and he immediately said, "President Shang, my cultivation is limited. Aren¡¯t I still lacking too much to be an elder?" Shang Yu waved his hand, "A Honored Grade Pill King has the privelege to be an elder at any branch of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. If I don¡¯t act now, you might even be pulled away by some other branch. Brother Mo, if you look up to this big brother here, then let¡¯s walk hard together for Sharphorn." After saying that, Shang Yu turned his head to Gong Yi, "Gong Yi, later bring Pill King Mo to my Sharphorn Branch¡¯s best treasury. Let him choose three treasures, these would be my Sharphorn Branch¡¯s welcoming gift." "Yes!" Gong Yi bowed as he responded; his voice was filled with agitation. Now that he had the chance, he would need to score some points with Elder Mo. At such a time, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn¡¯t say any pretentious words. He immediately clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude. "Brother Mo can first pick your things, then have a good rest. When the time comes, I will hold a grand welcoming dinner for you in the best hotel in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." Shang Yu¡¯s words left one feeling as though he was cleansed by the Spring Wind. Even though Mo Wuji knew that he was only trying to pull the relations closer, Mo Wuji could not help but praise Shang Yu¡¯s elegant manner of doing things. Chapter 510: The Massive Battle Incited By A Gourd Chapter 510: The Massive Battle Incited By A Gourd Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "May I ask if this is Elder Mo?" The moment Gong Yi brought Mo Wuji to the underground treasury, a delicate woman came forward to welcome them. Mo Wuji nodded, "I am indeed Mo Wuji." The delicate woman bowed hurriedly before retrieving a storage ring for Mo Wuji, "Elder Mo, President Shang asked me to hand this to you. These are the rewards given by the Sharphorn Immortal Branch as well as the identity token of Elder Mo as an elder in the branch." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t check on the storage ring here as he kept it immediately before expressing his gratitude. "Elder Mo is being too courteous. Now that the treasury is open, Elder Mo can pick three treasures for yourself," The delicate woman extended her arm and said respectfully. Gong Yi, who was standing by the side, knew that he had completed his task so he hurried to bid his goodbye and left. The woman stood outside the treasury while Mo Wuji nodded at her before entering the treasury. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s treasury in the Sharphorn Immortal Branch was not considered big but the treasures inside were definitely valuable. The moment Mo Wuji stepped inside, he could feel all sorts of immortal aura as there were not only high tier immortal herbs, a variety of treasured ores and even some technique jade letters. Mo Wuji had no intentions to choose any of the magic treasures, immortal herbs or even immortal pills because firstly, he had his Half Moon Halberd. Even though it was incomplete, he would fix it eventually. Secondly, he was a pill refiner himself so why would he choose any immortal pills? Lastly, immortal herbs could be found so if he had to choose something now, he would choose something more practical than immortal herbs. Before Mo Wuji could circle this treasury once, he grabbed a transparent rock. This was the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence which Mo Wuji fought so hard for at the auction place of the Jing Yun City Square. It was also the reason why Mo Wuji formed a feud with the Seven Smoke Sect of the Immortal World. The pity was that because the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence didn¡¯t help his Scholar¡¯s Heart advanced to become an immortal flame. However, he would naturally not miss out on this rock now that he had seen it here. With this extra Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence, Mo Wuji was absolutely sure that his flame could advance to become an immortal flame. Even if he couldn¡¯t get anything else, it would still be a worthwhile trip if his flame advanced into an immortal flame. Just as he picked up the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence, Mo Wuji saw a simple and crude, dark grey coloured saber which was as wide as a person¡¯s back. There was actually a sort of killing intent and doughtiness within this saber that was similar to his Half Moon Halberd. This saber was definitely a good item with experience. Mo Wuji had his Half Moon Halberd but the pity was that it was still not complete. Moreover, with his new status as an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he had intended to find out more about the situation of the Broken World which he couldn¡¯t manage to do so previously. As compared to those geniuses, his status could be even higher than theirs. Geniuses were only cultivators with the potential to be great and if they were to die or encounter any setbacks, they would no longer be geniuses. Mo Wuji¡¯s status as an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was as genuine as it could ever get. If he wanted the capabilities to enter the third level of the Broken World, he needed a better immortal equipment and this saber was fitting. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji picked up this grey coloured saber. An intense killing intent surged towards Mo Wuji and he knew that the only reason it contained this much killing intent was that it had killed countless of experts. Regardless, Mo Wuji was resolute in getting this saber. Mo Wuji just entered this treasury not too long ago and he had already chosen two items. He didn¡¯t rush to pick the third but scanned through the entire treasury once before picking up a chopping board with a radius of one inch. This chopping board might look like an imitation but it was actually a Grade 5 immortal equipment. The reason why Mo Wuji chose this chopping board was not only because it was a Grade 5 immortal equipment but because it was capable of attacking as well as defending. Mo Wuji really wanted a technique to strengthen his body but was unable to find one. Therefore, if he couldn¡¯t find a technique like this, he would need a better defensive immortal equipment and this chopping board was his choice. Even though there were still many items that Mo Wuji wanted, he had already chosen three items as he walked out of the treasury with some regrets. This time, he arrived at the big hall on level 1 and Dou Hualong was still waiting for him even after a few days. The moment Mo Wuji came out, Dou Hualong welcomed him with a look of surprise, "Big brother, how was your assessment?" From Dou Hualong¡¯s judgement, Mo Wuji should be a Tier 1 Pill Monarch since he had spent three days inside. Mo Wuji chuckled as he took out his Honoured Grade Tier 4 Pill King¡¯s token, "Hualong, it seems like we wouldn¡¯t be rushing to leave the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins anytime soon." Previously, Mo Wuji wanted to leave the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins in a hurry because he didn¡¯t have any protection. Now that he was an honorary Tier 4 Pill King, no one would dare to touch him even if he opened a pill house here in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Dou Hualong received the purple token and couldn¡¯t start trembling the moment he saw the words on it, "Big brother, you are a Tier 4 Pill King and an honorary one¡­ Is this for real?" Mo Wuji kept his Pill King identity token and patted Dou Hualong¡¯s shoulder, "It is as real as real gold. In fact, I am even a reputable elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Dou Hualong was even more thrilled than Mo Wuji. He couldn¡¯t believe that a random brother he decided to follow actually had such unbelievable talents. Back then, he only followed Mo Wuji because he felt that Mo Wuji was generous and treated him equally and that he had a chance to leave the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins someday. Never in his dreams would he expect that Mo Wuji would be an honored grade Tier 4 Pill King. In normal circumstances, even a Grand Yi Immortal would be submissive in front of an honorary Tier 4 Pill King. He, Dou Hualong, must have been a saint in his previous life to find a backer as unbelievable as Mo Wuji. Big brother was right, even if Dou Hualong didn¡¯t leave the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins in the future, he would still be able to enjoy a life of a rich here. "Elder Mo, if you don¡¯t want to stay in a hotel, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance could provide a residence for you. I can arrange everything meticulously for you," A voice suddenly interrupted Dou Hualong¡¯s obscenity. Mo Wuji replied politely, "Many thanks, Deacon Gong. I¡¯m currently staying at the Riverface Immortal Resthouse as for accommodations¡­" Mo Wuji sighed for a moment before saying, "It would be ideal if Deacon Gong is able to find a small gatehouse in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins for me." "Elder Mo wishes to open a pill house?" Gong Yi understood Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions immediately. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes. Of course, it is okay if you¡¯re unable to find one." "Wuji, you should find me for things like this. You are not treating me like your sister if you choose not to find me for this. Don¡¯t worry, I promise to find a small gatehouse for you," Guo Qi walked over smiling. Gong Yi hurried to pay his respects as he prepared to leave. Guo Qi called out for Gong Yi, "Deacon Gong, you are a capable person. After I found a shophouse for Wuji, help me settle the administrative affairs before handing it to Wuji." "Roger that. Many thanks, Manager Guo," Gong Yi couldn¡¯t be any more elated. Mo Wuji sighed at Guo Qi¡¯s high level of interpersonal skills because she barely said a few sentences and she managed to pull Mo Wuji so much closer to her as if she had known him for years. "Thank you, sister Guo," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stand on any ceremony because since he had decided to join the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he should work on his relationships with the many elders and important figures here too. Even if Guo Qi didn¡¯t find him, he would take the initiative to visit her as well as the number 1 Pill King. "There¡¯s no need to be so courteous to me. When the time comes, Deacon Gong will hand things over to you properly so don¡¯t worry and rest well," After finishing her sentence, Guo Qi brought Mo Wuji out of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch¡¯s hall politely. ¡­ "Big brother, I feel like I am still dreaming," After being some distance away from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Dou Hualong was still in disbelief. Who was Guo Qi? She was a manager of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and she actually walked Mo Wuji out of the hall so politely. And if she asked Mo Wuji to address her as a sister, didn¡¯t it mean that Mo Wuji was the brother of the manager of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? "This is nothing. Once you have sufficient resources for cultivation, you would be on the same level as them too," Mo Wuji comforted Gong Yi. Other than wanting to accumulate some cultivation resources, the reason why he wanted to set up a pill house was so that he could build a platform to rebuild his Tian Ji Sect, which he had promised to do so. "Roger, big brother," Dou Hualong had absolute faith in Mo Wuji. "Oh yes, something big happened during the three days you were assessing yourself," Dou Hualong held the task Mo Wuji assigned him close to heart and didn¡¯t stop collecting information even when he was in the hall of the Sharphorn Branch¡¯s hall. "What happened?" Mo Wuji asked. Dou Hualong lowered his voice and answered, "Two days ago, a Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain had a massive battle with the number one expert Gu of the Devil Moon Immortal School in the Six Paths Immortal Domain. I¡¯ve heard that the battle flipped the entire battlefield upside down and the killing intent could even be felt 10,000 miles away." "Gu?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. Dou Hualong nodded, "Yes, the number one expert of the Devil Moon Immortal School was called Gu and I¡¯ve heard that he was an Immortal Emperor expert. Even the Heavenly Emperor of the Devil Domain had to be respectful towards him." "So why was he fighting with the Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain?" Mo Wuji was still lost. Dou Hualong chuckled and said, "According to the information I received, it was because of the birth of a purple gourd which ignited the fight between the two Emperors." "The birth of a purple gourd?" Mo Wuji panicked as he thought of the gourd lying in his Undying World. And there was even the Breath of Hongmeng. If the gourd was lying here, why would the two Emperors be fighting for? Dou Hualong continued in his low voice, "Rumours were that the purple gourd was an inheritance of the Lifeless Dao Sect and it was the sole reason why the Lifeless Dao Sect was exterminated many years ago. The gourd contained the Breath of Hongmeng, something every human being dreamt of possessing." "So who took that gourd?" Mo Wuji was still shocked because he really couldn¡¯t wrap his head around this. Could there be two gourds? Or could one of them be fake? If it was a fake, it would definitely not incite a war between the Emperors. Chapter 511: You Are Not Suitable For The Supreme Dao Sect Chapter 511: You Are Not Suitable For The Supreme Dao Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I¡¯ve heard that it was taken away by the Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain while the Devil Moon Immortal School¡¯s Gu escaped with severe injuries. Rumours were that just before he made his escape, Gu managed to capture one of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor¡¯s concubine¡­" Dou Hualong was so good at his job he even reported details of the rumours heard from the streets. Just when Mo Wuji was about to continue questioning, a group of people who just arrived across the streets made Mo Wuji stopped. Out of the eight people who arrived, Mo Wuji recognised two of them. One of them was Yan Ye¡¯s titular wife Murong Xiangyu and the one following closely behind Murong Xiangyu, Qiao Qianyan. Presently, Qiao Qianyan was walking at the back while Murong Xiangyu was walking in front together with a stylish purple robed youth. The purple robed youth had a sharp face and a good built. Everyone was able to tell that he was a lightning type expert as his entire body was enveloped with rich lightning bolts. At this moment, he was smiling widely while having a great conversation with Murong Xiangyu which was similar to how Qiao Qianyan used to converse with Murong Xiangyu in the past. "Big brother, the purple robed youth walking in front is called Gu Zijian and he¡¯s an unbelievable strong Eight Star Genius from the Lightning Sect of the Mahesvara Immortal Domain. If he didn¡¯t need to go to the Broken World, he could have been in the advanced Grand Yi Stage already. These geniuses are approaching us, we should¡­" Dou Hualong whispered cautiously into Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. Dou Hualong wanted to suggest that they shifted out of their way but as he spoke, he recalled that his big brother Mo Wuji was actually a reputable elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, a status even higher than a genius so there was simply no need for him to make way. Mo Wuji saw Qiao Qianyan¡¯s eyes constantly sweeping across Murong Xiangyu¡¯s body and he couldn¡¯t help but found it funny as Gu Zijian had replaced his position. He guessed that in Murong Xiangyu¡¯s eyes now, the present Qiao Qianyan was the ¡®Yan Ye¡¯ following behind the previous Qiao Qianyan and herself. Women of the Supreme Dao Sect were indeed heartless because any ordinary woman would try to salvage some pride of Qiao Qianyan in circumstances like this. Even if she didn¡¯t intend to go on further with Qiao Qianyan, she should still occasionally talk to him so that he had a chance to walk in front with them. Despite Dou Hualong not completing his sentence, Mo Wuji understood his meaning and patted his shoulder before saying, "We will stand aside and let these geniuses walk past first." His status as an elder was not for him to abuse and misuse just to bully some people. It was to protect himself. Mo Wuji was not so bored that he would be so calculative with these geniuses. "Yan Ye? What are you doing here?" Murong Xiangyu had not completely fallen in love with another man and had yet to completely forget Yan Ye so when he saw Mo Wuji by the street, she stopped and furrowed her brows immediately. Murong Xiangyu stopped in her tracks so Gu Zijian got everyone else to halt as they looked curiously at Murong Xiangyu and Yan Ye. "Xiangyu, who is this man?" Gu Zijian asked Murong Xiangyu while staring at Mo Wuji. Murong Xiangyu answered calmly, "He is my titular husband." "Ah¡­" Other than Qiao Qianyan, all the other geniuses heard Murong Xiangyu¡¯s answer and looked shockingly at both Mo Wuji and Murong Xiangyu. Mo Wuji¡¯s face was full of scars and with one look, everyone could tell that his cultivation level was very low. Not considering all these, the main point was that Mo Wuji¡¯s spirituality was not evident and everyone could tell that his potential was limited. Murong Xiangyu was not only a Six Star Genius she was also an extremely gorgeous woman. Why would such a delicate and outstanding woman have such an ugly and ordinary dao companion like Mo Wuji? Everyone turned to look at Gu Zijian as they all knew Gu Zijian was wooing Murong Xiangyu presently. Moreover, Murong Xiangyu treated Gu Zijian decently and there was a high possibility that the two of them could become dao companions. In fact, some of them didn¡¯t understand why Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t conceal the fact about her relationship with Yan Ye. As long as she concealed it well and then settled the divorce with Mo Wuji in secret, she could still become Gu Zijian¡¯s dao companion. Gu Zijian¡¯s expression turned ugly because he truly liked Murong Xiangyu. Murong Xiangyu was not only shockingly talented, he fell in love with her looks the moment his eyes fell on her. More importantly, Murong Xiangyu wasn¡¯t very clingy so even after they became dao companions, she wouldn¡¯t affect his cultivation. "You have yet to answer my question," Murong Xiangyu furrowed her brows even more. Mo Wuji really wanted to ask her to mind her own business but his identity was Yan Ye. Even if he wanted to expose his true identity, he wouldn¡¯t want to explain to Murong Xiangyu in front of so many people. More importantly, he really wanted to tell Murong Xiangyu that he didn¡¯t wish to continue playing this bullsh*t dao love game with her. Murong Xiangyu sighed once more as she noticed that Mo Wuji still chose to remain silent. She recalled the countless talented experts that she had met over the past few days in the garden of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Hearing their detailed explanations of the cultivation dao, she had realised how narrow her social circle was previously. Even these people around her now, which one of them wasn¡¯t a genius among geniuses? In fact, even Qiao Qianyan was way more impressive. As for the Yan Ye in front of her, she shook her head in disappointment. Perhaps Yan Ye would never understand any one of this dao reasoning of the cultivation dao. Since she would have to make a decision sooner or later, there was no point in dragging any longer. If she had interacted with these geniuses even before she came to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, she probably wouldn¡¯t have brought Yan Ye along with her. So what if she fell in love with Yan Ye eventually? She would not only harm herself but also Yan Ye. Yan Ye was too ordinary so perhaps she would never be able to fall in love with him completely. She really shouldn¡¯t be too stubborn because it wouldn¡¯t do anyone good by delaying any further. Moreover, Yan Ye and her current social circle was simply two worlds apart. She retrieved a red colour marriage certificate as she handed it to Mo Wuji, "We shall end our relationship. This was the marriage certificate that we exchanged initially, pass me yours." Exchanging of marriage certificates on the streets? Mo Wuji looked surprisingly at Murong Xiangyu as he realised how the actions of the members of the Supreme Dao Sect couldn¡¯t be explained by logic. More accurately, they had no ethical reasoning at all. Mo Wuji took over the marriage certificate as he threw it into his storage ring without looking at it. After all, it wasn¡¯t even his to begin with. Mo Wuji subconsciously glanced at the experts around Murong Xiangyu and thought that maybe these experts were the one who stimulated her decision. Murong Xiangyu naturally noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s glances and felt uncomfortable. Even though she would not admit, she knew that it was perhaps because of the gathering of these experts, she had made her decision before entering the Broken World. She just came out of the Supreme Dao Sect so she would also wish to have an earth-shattering type of love so as to let her soul and heart undergo sublimation and eventually complete her dao heart. "I know how you feel but sometimes, we cannot make great demands for something like fate," Murong Xiangyu still felt a little apologetic because after all, Yan Ye came over with the sole purpose to purify her dao heart. Even though Yan Ye might die in the Broken World, he might get lucky and be met with some opportunities too. Who knew that even before they made their way to the Broken World, she had completely erased Yan Ye off her heart by ending the fate between them. She really wanted to comfort Mo Wuji but she just didn¡¯t know how to do it. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine. Congratulations on finally ending our fate¡­ that¡­" Mo Wuji wanted to hand over Yan Ye¡¯s certificate of marriage to Murong Xiangyu but just as his spiritual will landed within the storage ring, he realised that he didn¡¯t have the certificate of marriage with him. He had already handed it to Yan Tianyu to pass it to Yan Clan¡¯s Yan Yi. Murong Xiangyu looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s expression of unhappiness and she thought that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mean what he just said and he really didn¡¯t wish to hand over the certificate of marriage. Even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hand over the certificate of marriage, it wouldn¡¯t affect her but she still felt as though there was a knot in her heart. "That I am sorry. I don¡¯t have the certificate of marriage with me because I left it with my sister Yan Yi. You can ask her for it anytime you want," Mo Wuji continued apologetically. Murong Xiangyu nodded as she heaved a sigh of relief, "It¡¯s okay, I have to make a trip back after I am done with things here anyway." After finishing her sentence, Murong Xiangyu turned to Gu Zijian and explained, "Senior brother Zijian, sorry for wasting a little bit of your time. Let¡¯s go now." Gu Zijian was full of smiles because to him, this Murong Xiangyu was pledging her loyalty to him by not only saying these on the streets, she ended her fate with Yan Ye in front of him. A woman like herself was definitely worth his love. "Murong Xiangyu¡­" Mo Wuji called out for the Murong Xiangyu who was about to leave. To Murong Xiangyu, Mo Wuji and herself were two completely unrelated people now. At most, she would still admit that she recognised him. Mo Wuji really got her frowning by calling out to her like that. Despite noticing Murong Xiangyu¡¯s furrowed brows, Mo Wuji continued, "I have something serious to say and even though you might not like it, I have to say it." Murong Xiangyu remained emotionless. Mo Wuji laughed as he didn¡¯t feel sad or disappointed at all and he didn¡¯t even care if Murong Xiangyu was the type to turn her back on her lover and leave for another man as she wished. Even though Dou Hualong¡¯s news might ensure his safety, he was indeed living dangerously while being anonymous back at the Lifeless Dao Sect¡¯s secret domain. He was still very grateful for Murong Xiangyu for bringing him here to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins as he has had his own improvements here too. "I believe that you are not suitable to cultivate the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s technique," Mo Wuji said sincerely. "Anything else?" Murong Xiangyu looked calmly at Mo Wuji. "Nothing else," Mo Wuji chuckled and the reason why he said this was because he felt that the Supreme Dao Sect was also a supreme sect. A member of a sect like this should be extremely loyal and stubborn with her love but to Mo Wuji, Murong Xiangyu changed her mind way too frequently when it came to love. She simply didn¡¯t seem like a disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect. Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t even bid goodbye as she turned and left. Mo Wuji shook his head and patted Dou Hualong before leaving, "Hualong, let¡¯s go. We should head back to rest too." At this moment, he was even more relaxed than Murong Xiangyu. He couldn¡¯t believe that something like this was settled so easily here when he initially expected more twists and turns. "Are you called Yan Ye? Please hold on," A clear voice called out for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji turned his head and saw a woman. She recognised this woman as one of the geniuses who was walking alongside Murong Xiangyu and co. Now that Murong Xiangyu had left, why did she come back for? ... Chapter 512: Great Rewards Chapter 512: Great Rewards Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji stopped and looked at this woman inquisitively, "You¡¯re looking for me?" This woman wearing a yellow dress looked elegant, pretty and gentle. Furthermore, from Mo Wuji¡¯s judgement, her cultivation level should be in the advanced Xuan Immortal Stage. With a body full of immortal aura, she was actually much stronger than the Hong Qi who he killed previously. Despite having advanced into the intermediate stage of the Golden Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji predicted that he wouldn¡¯t have a high chance of winning her if they were to fight head on. However, if he was in the advanced Golden Immortal Stage or the peak of the Golden Immortal Stage, he was confident that he would be able to deal with her. The yellow dressed woman walked over to Mo Wuji and bowed slightly before revealing a slight smile, "Little girl¡¯s name is Shen Muqing and I am a disciple of the Floating Flower Immortal Valley from the Luo Ling Immortal Domain. I¡¯ve noticed the extraordinary deportment of Brother Yan so I wanted to make friends with you. I¡¯m sorry to disturb you so abruptly so I seek Brother Yan¡¯s forgiveness." Mo Wuji stared at Shen Muqing with his eyes wide opened and replied only after staring blankly for a few moments, "Fairy Shen, are you sure you didn¡¯t make a mistake? I appear extraordinary to you? I am merely an ordinary cultivator with ordinary spiritual roots who just made it into the Golden Immortal Stage so how extraordinary can I look? Fairy Shen was walking together with a bunch of geniuses so I guessed that you must be a star genius as well too. Could it be that you came to make a fool of me, a person who had just been embarrassed for accepting a divorce on the streets?" This time, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t over thinking as he really did have his suspicions. Why would a delicate, pretty and star grade talent like Shen Muqing want to make friends with an ordinary person on the streets like Mo Wuji? Moreover, she addressed herself as ¡®little girl¡¯ which was even more ridiculous. It would make sense if Shen Muqing knew that he was an honorary Tier 4 Pill King but Mo Wuji was certain that she wasn¡¯t aware of that. To put it in a sentence, Shen Muqing was wealthy, talented and beautiful while he was only a random loser. Shen Muqing maintained her demure smile before saying, "I do admire Brother Yan sincerely. If Brother Yan doesn¡¯t mind, would you like to have a cup of tea with me at the tea house nearby?" Is she asking me out? Mo Wuji thought to himself. He had no clue what Shen Muqing¡¯s motives were but he would rather fewer troubles if possible. Furthermore, he had something more important on hand; which was to get Dou Hualong find out more about the incident involving the purple gourd. "I am sorry, I was dumped and so I am feeling extremely dejected at the moment. I would like to head back to rest. After I get over this, it would be my extreme honour to be invited by Fairy Shen," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. A trace of disappointment flashed across Shen Muqing¡¯s eyes as she continued to maintain her smile, "Since this is the case, I shall not disturb Brother Yan anymore. Could you tell me where you are currently staying?" Mo Wuji knew that even if he chose not to tell her, she would be able to find out easily. Therefore, he casually replied "I am staying at the Riverface Immortal Resthouse. Goodbye, Fairy Shen." After he answered her, Mo Wuji turned and left while Dou Hualong followed closely behind Mo Wuji. If it was in the past, Dou Hualong would definitely be curious as to why his big brother rejected Shen Muqing but he understood his big brother¡¯s intentions now. His big brother was not only an honorary Tier 4 Pill King but also an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance so why would a small fry like Shen Muqing mean anything to Mo Wuji? As she watched Mo Wuji¡¯s back view, Shen Muqing revealed a faint smile as she shook her head, "Actually, I believe you said something wrong. Murong Xiangyu was actually very suitable for the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s cultivation technique." Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something as he appeared to have realise why Shen Muqing wanted to find him. Perhaps she really only wanted to make friends with him and nothing else. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was not completely accurate, it was pretty close to the truth. Other bystanders might think that Mo Wuji was merely a poor bug who just got dumped and even he told her how pitiful he felt. However, Shen Muqing was certain that the Yan Ye in front of her wasn¡¯t feeling like that. When Murong Xiangyu took out her certificate of marriage to divorce, Yan Ye didn¡¯t even have any emotion so how could he be feeling so dejected so shortly after? Yan Ye looked like a mess but in front of so many geniuses and even the peak grade expert like Gu Zijian who was wooing Murong Xiangyu, he didn¡¯t even reveal any feelings of inferiority. Even after being dumped by Murong Xiangyu, Yan Ye could still warn her that she wasn¡¯t suitable for the Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. This was definitely not something someone who truly loved Murong Xiangyu could pull off. This was not the only factor as Yan Ye looked extremely ordinary and didn¡¯t have any spirituality around him so he should be a mediocrity. She had this unique ability which was that she could roughly sense the other party¡¯s age. Even though she wasn¡¯t able to tell Yan Ye¡¯s specific age, she could sense that Yan Ye was younger than her and in fact, way younger than her. For a cultivator way younger than her to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Stage? How could he be mediocre? More importantly, this cultivator looked extremely ordinary and he didn¡¯t have a tinge of spirituality around him which made him extraordinary. Her main reason for coming out would be for the opening of Level 3 of the Broken World as well as to cultivate, broaden her horizons and make friends with outstanding heroes from all across the world. Before she left, her master told her that reading 10,000 books would not be more beneficial than traveling 10,000 miles. One must neither look down on anyone nor self-deprecate yourself in front of someone. Other than cultivating to become stronger, help from others was equally important. If she were to make friends with one more capable man, she would have one more source of help in the future. Since her intention was to make friends with outstanding figures, how could she miss out on someone like Mo Wuji? Furthermore, so what if she misjudged him? Based on the fact that he could speak so calmly in front of so many geniuses, he was a person worth befriending. ¡­ The moment they returned to their residence, Mo Wuji handed Dou Hualong a storage ring, "Hualong, I will be undergoing closed doors cultivation for a period of time. This storage ring and the items inside are for you to cultivate and when you¡¯re taking a break from cultivating, help me find out more about the battle between the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor and the Devil Moon Immortal School¡¯s Heavenly Emperor. Also, help me find out more about the purple gourd as well as the opening of the Level 3 of the Broken World." "Roger that, big brother," Dou Hualong took over the storage ring excitedly. After Mo Wuji entered his room for his closed door cultivation, his spiritual will had already seeped into the storage ring. He was so excited at the sight of the items in the storage ring that he shivered. There were over 1,000,000 low grade immortal crystals and hundreds of thousand intermediate grade immortal crystals, over 20,000 high grade immortal crystals and even all sorts of pills. The item that made him the most excited was the Falling Dust Immortal Pill, an item which was the dream treasure of every Heavenly Immortal cultivator. As for some Grade 3 Immortal equipment and Grade 2 flying magic treasure that he saw, he was simply dumbfounded momentarily. It was indeed a dream to have a big brother who was a pill king, otherwise, how could he, Dou Hualong, live such luxurious life? He was simply like a mouse dropping into a pile of rice. No, he, Dou Hualong, would be a dragon-like expert in the future so how could he compare himself to a mouse? He must work hard to accomplish the tasks his big brother assigned him. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s own cultivation required a tremendously large amount of resources but he had to treat others right so he didn¡¯t ill-treat Dou Hualong and gave a huge chunk of his cultivation resources to him as well. Furthermore, he was a pill king and an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. If he was lacking, he should be lacking of heavenly treasures and not these low grades immortal crystals and pills. As he returned to his own room, Mo Wuji took out the storage ring Nong Yong gave. This was a reward from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters so Mo Wuji predicted that it shouldn¡¯t be too shabby. Since this was a reward, the restrictions on the storage ring were extremely simple to lift. After he lifted the restrictions, Mo Wuji only saw 200 Tier 5 immortal herbs. Mo Wuji was a little astonished because wasn¡¯t this a little petty? 200 Tier 5 immortal herbs were even lesser than part of the rewards given by the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Branch. To an ordinary cultivator, 200 Tier 5 immortal herbs might be a fortune but it was simply nothing to Mo Wuji. Just as Mo Wuji was about to feel disappointed, he saw something like flying shuttle which was about an inch long. The flying shuttle was blurry gray in colour so it blended in with the space of the storage ring and if one didn¡¯t look closely, one wouldn¡¯t be able to tell that it was there. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and grabbed the flying shuttle in his hands and a faint immortal spirituality that appeared as though it was going to escape circulated around the space in the storage ring. Mo Wuji seeped his spiritual will into this flying shuttle and he almost cried out in surprise. This was actually a Grade 7 flying immortal treasure. A Grade 7 immortal flying treasure was something treasured even by an Immortal King, let alone a Golden Immortal Stage cultivator like himself. Flying treasures and defensive treasures were naturally worth more than an offensive magic treasure so a Grade 7 immortal flying treasure would definitely be something everyone coveted for. If he had a Grade 7 immortal flying ship back when he was in the Half Immortal Domain, he wouldn¡¯t think of completing his Immortal-Traversing Ship. Very soon, he figured out the intentions of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. It was to protect him. By giving him Tier 5 immortal herbs, they wished that he would be able to advance to become a Tier 5 Pill King and the flying shuttle was for him to escape in times of danger. It seemed like it was the right decision to join the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance because just this Grade 7 immortal flying treasure made it worth it. Mo Wuji took out the storage ring Shang Yu gave once more and there was indeed an identity token of an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Branch. Other than this, there was also a pile of Tier 5 immortal herbs and tens of Tier 6 immortal herbs. The most item that appealed to Mo Wuji the most was the ancient book. The moment Mo Wuji flipped opened the ancient book, he had even more admiration for Shang Yu. This second president definitely sent what he was lacking over to him. This was a book to describe pill formulas and after briefly going through this ancient book, Mo Wuji noticed that there were about over a thousand pill formulas ranging from Tier 1 to Tier 7 immortal pills. Even though some pill formulas like the Zhi Desolate Pill and etc was missing, almost every commonly seen pill formulas were in this book. After giving him so many valuable items and even let him choose three items from the treasury, it seemed like Mo Wuji had no reasons to reject whatever requests Shang Yu threw at him in the future. Regardless, he owed Shang Yu a huge favour. After packing up the things into his storage ring, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to refine the flying shuttle. If he didn¡¯t refine his flying shuttle, he wouldn¡¯t have the mood to concoct the Tier 5 immortal pills. Chapter 513: Who Was The One Who Hit You? Chapter 513: Who Was The One Who Hit You? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Three days passed and Mo Wuji managed to refine his flying shuttle and even carved out a few restriction arrays on it as well. Looking at the exquisite flying shuttle in his hands, Mo Wuji was extremely satisfied. With a Grade 7 immortal flying shuttle, he finally had one additional option to escape when in danger. Otherwise, no matter how strong his spatial teleportation was, there would still be a limit to it. The moment his spiritual will or immortal energy was completely exhausted, he would no longer be able to escape. After keeping his flying shuttle, Mo Wuji took out the dark grey saber to refine. A day later, Mo Wuji managed to finish refining the saber as he finally understood why this saber would exude the same energy as the Half Moon Halberd. There were also pieces of blade fragments inside of this saber. The difference between this saber and the Half Moon Halberd was that the weapon smith refined the blade fragments into the saber which in turn, made it into a terrifyingly vicious Grade 6 immortal equipment. Mo Wuji was in shock because if a fragment could forge out a saber with such terrifying energy, how unbelievably strong would the complete saber be? After spending a few more days refining the chopping board, Mo Wuji took out the pill furnace as he prepared himself to become a Tier 5 Pill King. Mo Wuji learned pill refinement from the Wordless Pill Manual and after he derived his own technique, he managed to turn it into his own pill dao. Most of his pill refining techniques and pill dao¡¯s technique used his spirit storage channel and elemental storage channel instead of the normal hand techniques. Whether it was skill techniques, meridians or even cultivation techniques, Mo Wuji used his own methods to derive them. This was the main reason why he had close to zero bottlenecks in terms of his progress in pill dao. Perhaps others need over hundreds of thousands of years to advance in their pill dao, he merely needed to keep practicing. After the opening of all 108 meridians, his body was like the perfect system to undergo spiritual circulation and he was able to find the answers to almost everything he chose to cultivate. To learn how to concoct Tier 5 immortal pills, Mo Wuji chose the Elemental Recovery Pill. The Elemental Recovery Pill was commonly used by Grand Zhi Immortal experts to recover their immortal energy and it was effective to a certain extent for Grand Luo Immortal experts too. This pill was very simple to concoct and even the immortal herbs used were the more common ones. In fact, the rewards given by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance consisted of quite a few of these herbs which made it the best pill to use for practice. Mo Wuji took out his own pill furnace he got from the Jing Yun City Square¡¯s auction and had a few regrets as he didn¡¯t manage to find a top grade pill furnace in the treasury of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Immortal Ruins¡¯ Branch. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t continue using this pill furnace which was filled with some defects. The main problem was that there were a few broken restrictions on this pill furnace and it was currently only a Tier 3 immortal equipment. Now that he didn¡¯t have any other pill furnace, he had to make do with this one. The moment Mo Wuji took out this pill furnace, he used his spiritual will to scan through the interior of this pill furnace and got a shock. He knew that there was a problem with one of the restrictions of the pill furnace and back when he used it to concoct pills, all he had to do was to avoid it. However, when he used his spiritual will to scan through the furnace, he realised that he could still move this particular restriction. Could it be that it wasn¡¯t faulty to begin with? Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will instantly surrounded this ¡®broken¡¯ restriction and now that he was in the Golden Immortal Stage with a much stronger spiritual will and expertise in array dao, he was able to find out what was happening in less than an incense worth of time. This was not a broken restriction but a man-made ban. The reason why no one found out about this in the Corner of Yong Ying was that there were very little Golden Immortal Stage experts there. As long as the immortal energy and spiritual will were strong enough, one would be able to see through the mystery of this restriction. An hour later, Mo Wuji lifted the man-made restriction and there was only a book made of unknown material. After Mo Wuji removed this book from within the restriction, there was a sudden change in the energy emitted by the pill furnace as it advanced directly from a Tier 3 immortal equipment to a Tier 6 immortal equipment. The cultivator promoting this pill furnace back at the Jing Yun Auction Place was definitely not lying as this was indeed a Tier 6 immortal pill furnace. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about the pill furnace as he picked up the book and saw the contents of which were recorded clearly. There were three pill formulas and the first pill was the Glassy Blood Exchange Pill. What made Mo Wuji shocked was that this Glassy Blood Exchange Pill was a Tier 4 immortal pill and its only function was to exchange blood. What was the use of this pill? Why would cultivator need to exchange blood? A strong cultivator could remodel his own body even without a single drop of blood. This was much more useful and effective than exchanging blood. Even for ordinary cultivators, one wouldn¡¯t need to exchange for fresh blood to heal as long as one had their primordial spirit. Even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t cultivate his primordial spirit on its own, he also had his vitality channel and Undying World. Mo Wuji¡¯s intuition was that as long as his vitality channel and Undying World remained intact, he would not die. Mo Wuji simply skipped through this useless Glassy Blood Exchange Pill. The second pill formula made Mo Wuji so surprised that he jumped up. It was the Zhi Nature Pill which he had been rattling about for the past few days. The Zhi Nature Pill was the sister pill of the Zhi Desolate Pill and was in fact, a Tier 7 immortal pill as compared to the Tier 5 Zhi Desolate Pill. Regardless, the Zhi Nature Pill was definitely much more valuable than the Zhi Desolate Pill. This was the pill formula that Mo Wuji yearned for since a long time ago so very quickly, he was entirely immersed in it. After a few minutes, Mo Wuji heaved a long sigh of relief. If he hadn¡¯t go through this pill formula, he might never find out why both the Zhi Desolate Pill and the Zhi Nature Pill needed the Heavenly Desolate Grass. The truth was that this Heavenly Desolate Grass was also called the Heavenly Nature Grass and its tier was not fixed at Tier 5 immortal herb. In the description of the pill formula, it explained that as long as the Heavenly Desolate Grass was purified to 90% purity, all the remaining impurities would be removed as well. One would be able to concoct the essence as long as one managed to purify the herb to above 90% purity. The moment the purity exceeded 99%, it would be the Heavenly Nature Grass. This would mean to say that the Heavenly Desolate Grass and the Heavenly Nature Grass was the same spiritual herb but to differentiate the two, one should not look at its colour or age but the purity achieved by the pill refiner. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at this complicated herb and complicated formula. He had tried to purify the Heavenly Desolate Grass before and he knew how tough it was to reach 90% purity, let alone 99%. It was no wonder the Zhi Desolate Pill and the Zhi Nature Pill were immortal pills of the legends and not sold anywhere. Given his capabilities, Mo Wuji was indeed capable of purifying normal herbs up to 99% of its essence but he really had no idea how to purify this Heavenly Desolate Grass to even 90% of its essence. It seemed like he needed to find some Heavenly Desolate Grass in the future to practice on it. Whether it was the Zhi Desolate Pill or the Zhi Nature Pill, both of them were extremely important pills which he must get on his hands no matter what. After letting out yet another sigh, Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on the third pill formula called the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill and it didn¡¯t even specify its tier. What pill could this be? Mo Wuji continued looking at the description and realised that he didn¡¯t even recognise more than half of the immortal herbs needed for this pill. Even those herbs that he recognised, most of them were Tier 9 immortal herbs. This was simply too high class and useless to him. The pity was that out of the three pill formulas here, only the Zhi Nature Pill was useful to him and yet, he wasn¡¯t able to concoct this Zhi Nature Pill. However, it wasn¡¯t a complete lost cause as he still gained a Grade 6 immortal pill furnace. Mo Wuji kept the pill formulas and started refining the pill furnace. After a couple of hours, Mo Wuji managed to refine this pill furnace thoroughly. After putting down the pill furnace, Mo Wuji opened up his palm and a beautifully exquisite flame appeared on his palm. This Scholar¡¯s Heart had not only saved Mo Wuji on numerous occasions, it was also the supporting flame for his sacred art, Domain Smashing Fist. Once he was done admiring his flame, Mo Wuji took out the transparent Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence. The instance the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence was brought out, the Scholar¡¯s Heart appeared as though it was jumping in joy as it released a flame radiance which hooked the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence away. A split moment later, the flame soared up and an inch wide flame was flashing around the room. Mo Wuji had experienced the Scholar¡¯s Heart swallowing the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence before so he wasn¡¯t too concerned with its intense movement. After another four hours, the flame in his hand finally calmed down. The colour of the flame remained blue but Mo Wuji was certain that the flame in his hand was multiple times stronger than before. His flame had advanced and he was confident that he possessed a Grade 1 immortal flame now. Mo Wuji sighed once more because it was truly difficult for his flame to advance. He wondered when would the time for his flame to become a Grade 4 or 5 immortal flame. Now that he had a Grade 6 immortal pill furnace and a Grade 1 immortal flame, Mo Wuji felt as though his entire body was at ease as he tried to concoct the pills. Strands of immortal herbs were thrown into the pill furnace as Mo Wuji started concocting the Elementary Recovery Pill. As long as Mo Wuji¡¯s Pill Dao reached a certain standard, he would be extremely stable when he concocted pills of the same certain standard. Previously when he hadn¡¯t reached the certain standard, he would need a large amount of immortal herbs to aid him. However, with his level of Pill Dao now, he believed that the two spiritual herbs from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and the remaining of his Tier 4 immortal herbs would be sufficient for him to advance into a Tier 5 Immortal Pill King. As he started to concoct the pills, more and more wasted pills were thrown out and more and more immortal herbs were being used up. As he knew that Mo Wuji was still undergoing his closed doors training, Dou Hualong came back a few times and left again. During the same period of time, Gong Yi visited once and left soon after because he didn¡¯t wish to disturb Mo Wuji too. "Boom!" Yet another furnace of pills exploded and Mo Wuji finally stopped concocting Tier 5 immortal pills. After being behind closed doors for almost half a month and even though he didn¡¯t manage to concoct out a batch of Tier 5 immortal pills, he knew in his heart that he was definitely able to concoct a high grade Tier 5 immortal pill if he was willing. The reason why he didn¡¯t manage to concoct out any pills was that he wanted to be perfect in his concoction as he wanted unique grade pills. During the final failed attempt, he managed to condense almost half of the pills to be unique grade but he was still not satisfied. Now that he didn¡¯t have any more immortal herbs, he simply had to stop concocting. Mo Wuji was an extremely hypercritical person and this was related to his job in his past life. Since he decided to do something, he had to complete it to his best ability. Otherwise, he might as well not do it. After lifting up his restrictions, Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan outside and he instantly saw the sluggish Dou Hualong. Dou Hualong¡¯s breath was unstable and was evidently hurt by someone. He was currently sitting in the center of the room and a woman sat beside him. Mo Wuji recognised the woman as Shen Muqing. It was the same woman who was rejected by him for a cup of tea about half a month ago. Seeing how badly beaten up Dou Hualong was, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was fuming and just because he didn¡¯t find trouble didn¡¯t mean he was fearful. In fact, he was after all still a Tier 5 Pill King, a recognised honorary Tier 4 Pill King and even a reputable elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Which b*stard dared to bully his subordinate? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother cleaning up as he charged straight to the living room and asked in a stern voice, "Hualong, who was the one who hit you?" Chapter 514: Was He Crazy? Chapter 514: Was He Crazy? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Brother Yan, you¡­" Shen Muqing stood up in surprise as she saw Mo Wuji walked out. Wasn¡¯t Yan Ye cultivating behind closed doors? Why did he look like he was a refugee with his messy hair, face full of dust and even had some medicinal impurities on his body. Dou Hualong hurried to explain, "Big brother, if it wasn¡¯t for Fairy Shen¡¯s help, I would have been killed." Mo Wuji nodded his head and calmed himself down before turning to clasp his fists towards Shen Muqing, "Many thanks Fairy Shen for your life-saving grace. I, Mo Wuji, will always remember this gratitude." "Mo Wuji?" Shen Muqing looked curiously at Mo Wuji. Wasn¡¯t his name Yan Ye? Since Mo Wuji decided to accept Shen Muqing¡¯s gratitude, he naturally wouldn¡¯t want to conceal his true identity, "My name is Mo Wuji and I am only called Yan Ye now because Yan Ye needed my help just before u passed on. Now that I¡¯ve completed his task, I will naturally revert back to my own name." One more point which Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mention was that given his identity and status now, ordinary people would not dare to touch him so there was no need for him to conceal his identity. Shen Muqing finally understood why he could be so calm when Murong Xiangyu was being so close with Gu Zijian and could even give her a piece of advice. So this was only because the two of them were never related. Looking how Mo Wuji reacted earlier on, Shen Muqing was even more certain that Mo Wuji was very young. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be so enraged at the sight of the wounded Dou Hualong. Without mentioning about experts who had practice the cultivation dao for countless of years, even Shen Muqing herself, would not have such explosions of emotions in such scenario. What she didn¡¯t know was that Mo Wuji would always have such a temperament even hundreds of years later. He would clench his teeth and bear with it if he didn¡¯t have the capability to deal with the other party but when he was strong enough, he wouldn¡¯t pretend to be Confucius. Noticing how Shen Muqing was looking at his ragged self, Mo Wuji explained, "I am a pill master and I¡¯ve just finish concocting pills. Because I was anxious, I didn¡¯t tidy up myself and the place so I am sorry." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue harping on this as he turned to Dou Hualong and said, "Hualong, hurry up and explain what happened in details." Hearing at Mo Wuji was a pill master, she wasn¡¯t exactly too surprised. The truth was that most cultivators would have learnt how to concoct pills before but it was just not so simple. Looking at Mo Wuji¡¯s appearance, he should have just started learning. Both a Tier 1 Pill Monarch and a Pill Emperor would be called pill masters but the difference between this two pill masters was almost as great as the distance between heaven and earth. She believed that Mo Wuji was not a simple man but she wouldn¡¯t believe if someone were to say that he was an expert of the Pill Dao at this young age. To progress far, one would need talent as well as large amount of time and resources. The thing Mo Wuji lacked the most was time. Dou Hualong said with some grievance, "In the morning, I cruised around the Sharphorn Immortal People Association but didn¡¯t reap much so I went to the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion to take a look at the situation there. What I didn¡¯t expect was that two people got into a fight at the pavilion for a treasure and because my cultivation level was too low, I didn¡¯t manage to get out in time and was hurt. Even though I wasn¡¯t feeling very happy about it, both of them were star grade geniuses so I didn¡¯t dare say much and retreated. Unexpectedly, the person who accidentally hurt me kicked me just as I was retreating and even shot out tens of dark radiance causing me to fall onto the ground motionlessly. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that one couldn¡¯t kill another person in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he would have killed me. I asked him why did he attack me and he actually said because an ant like me obstructed him influencing his attack on his opponent. Attacking me was still acceptable but he went to the extent of destroying my spirit channel and Mind Palace." Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turned ugly and even if he wasn¡¯t an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he wouldn¡¯t let such a matter go to rest just like that. Given his character, the least he would do would be to assassinate that fella and then leave the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Moreover, he was now an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. "If senior sister Shen didn¡¯t recognise me in the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, I could have been dead already," There were still traces of fear in Dou Hualong¡¯s eyes as he spoke. Even though Dou Hualong had been following a reputable Pill King like Mo Wuji, the fearful and cautious side of him remained. "Oh yes, what I¡¯ve gathered from these few days¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Dou Hualong¡¯s words as he said, "We can talk about this in the future. Where is the person who attacked you? I will avenge you right away." Shen Muqing, who was sitting by the side, commented, "Brother Mo, I wonder if you could hear me out?" "Fairy Shen rescued Hualong so that makes you Hualong¡¯s benefactor. Of course, you can speak as you wish," Mo Wuji nodded his head. Shen Muqing heaved a sigh of relief before saying with a gentle smile, "I know both of the experts who were fighting in the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. One of them is the Seven Star Genius, Ao Tiancheng from the Surging Dragon Golden River of the Zero Heaven Immortal Domain and the other person is also a Seven Star Genius, Cha Kai from the Soul Revolving Dao of the Six Paths Immortal Domain. What I feel is that since junior brother Hualong isn¡¯t in grave danger, we should forget about seeking revenge." Mo Wuji replied faintly, "Where is the law if one could simply bully another someone else for no legitimate reasons and get away with it? Fairy Shen, we could go over together if you are free but if you¡¯re not, I can go over myself." Shen Muqing was stunned at the words of Mo Wuji. Law? She simply couldn¡¯t think of a reason why Mo Wuji would say such idiotic words. People might still abide to the law in places like the true Emperor graded immortal city but how could he talk about laws to the star grade geniuses in a place like the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins? Was he crazy? Unless Mo Wuji was desperately wanting to save his pride so he said things like that so that he wouldn¡¯t look bad. However, Shen Muqing didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji was such a person who would offend others just because of pride. "Brother Mo, as much as I really want to help you but my status and strength is limited. I am also merely a 7 stars disciple and my sect¡¯s heritage couldn¡¯t be compared with the Soul Revolving Dao and the Surging Dragon Golden River so I¡­" Shen Muqing tone became slightly helpless as it was evident that as much as she wanted to help, she was simply not qualified to help. Mo Wuji nodded, "It¡¯s okay, Fairy Shen had already helped me a lot. Hualong, bring me to the current location of the two of them now." Shen Muqing could only stand up to bid her goodbyes after seeing how resolute Mo Wuji was to find troubles with the two of them. Mo Wuji returned the greeting as his earlier words were to test Shen Muqing. If Shen Muqing dared to go over with him and speak up for him, he would instantly befriend her. However, the truth was that Shen Muqing was a very logical person and even though she wanted to make friends, she wouldn¡¯t make such a huge sacrifice. Therefore, he could only be thankful for Shen Muqing¡¯s help and not make her his true friend. In the future, he would definitely help her if she needed help but he would never risk his life to save her like he did with Chu Qianlou and co. This Shen Muqing was still considered to be open and upright as she didn¡¯t find all sorts of excuse to avoid Mo Wuji¡¯s invitation to find trouble but only said that she was not qualified. Others might not like her style of doing things but Mo Wuji admired a person like her. After Shen Muqing left, Dou Hualong said, "When I came back, the two of them should still be in the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion." "Let¡¯s go to the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion now," Mo Wuji said instantly. Revenge must be seek as soon as possible because waiting too long would kill the fun. ¡­ Shen Muqing didn¡¯t leave the Riverface Immortal Resthouse immediately as she stood and observed the rest-house from faraway. The moment Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go find Au Tiancheng like he said he would, she would immediately stop contacting Mo Wuji. Even if she believed that Mo Wuji was capable, she wouldn¡¯t like a person who said things just to boost his ego. What she didn¡¯t expect was that a short while after she left the Riverface Immortal Resthouse, she saw Mo Wuji coming out with Dou Hualong. Shen Muqing was shocked as she really didn¡¯t understand what kind of guts Mo Wuji had to find trouble with Seven Star Geniuses of top sects. Regardless the case, she really wanted to follow behind them and see what would happen. ¡­ Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion did not only exist in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins as there was also one in the Mahesvara Immortal Domain. The Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was only one of the many branches. Compared to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion was much smaller in terms of size and position. Mo Wuji was brought to the entrance by Dou Hualong and he didn¡¯t realised the intense atmosphere that was in front of them. A lot of people in the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion were admiring all sorts of magic treasures in an orderly manner. Before Mo Wuji even entered the treasure pavilion, he drew out his saber and sliced off the head of the stone lion at the entrance. "Boom!" Mo Wuji broke this stone lion into pieces and the defensive array at the entrance started sounding off. Over ten cultivators who were still admiring the treasures instantly turned and left the place as they didn¡¯t even dare to look at who did it. Someone dared to destroy the stone lion of the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion meant that someone was provoking this place. The Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion was not a place which would accept such provocations so there would definitely be a fight coming up. This place was simply nothing more than a wasteland now. After destroying the stone lion, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t keep his saber as he hung it on his back while walking into the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. Dou Hualong couldn¡¯t stop sweating as he saw how mighty his big brother was as he walked into the place. As his small brother, he should buck up and not let his big brother¡¯s mightiness fall because of him in the future. At the thought of this, he stuck his chest out confidently as he followed closely behind Mo Wuji. Compared to a few days ago, Dou Hualong¡¯s current confidence level was on a sharp rise. "Was he crazy?" Shen Muqing mumbled to herself as she observed from afar. Even Au Tiancheng and Cha Kai wouldn¡¯t dare to destroy the stone lion of the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion like Mo Wuji just did. Just because they dared to fight in the pavilion didn¡¯t mean that they dared to provoke the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. Mo Wuji¡¯s actions was simply offending the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion before courting death inside. At this moment, Shen Muqing had this unexplained thought in her head. What if Mo Wuji¡¯s previous invitation for her to join him was to see if she was worth being his friend? If she decided to follow Mo Wuji to the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, it would mean that she was deserving of his friendship and if she chose not to, it would mean that she could be an ordinary friend to him. When she realised how possible this could be, Shen Muqing had some regrets as to if she should have agreed to follow Mo Wuji here. Following which, she shook her head because she wouldn¡¯t do such a crazy thing unless she went insane too. Who knew that perhaps Mo Wuji was simply courting death? If Mo Wuji was really seeking death and she followed him, even if she managed to make it out alive, the consequences she would have to bear would definitely be severe. Chapter 515: Arrogant To The End Chapter 515: Arrogant To The End Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations There was one point which left Shen Muqing slightly confused: Mo Wuji did not seem like such a rash person. Even if he had something up his sleeves, he shouldn¡¯t use such a method to resolve the problem, right? Must one always use the most proper method to solve a problem? However, the moment Mo Wuji''s perceived method fails to deter the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, then this Mo Wuji was definitely dead. By destroying the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion''s stone lion, even if she were to show her face, it would still be hard to keep Mo Wuji in one complete piece. ¡­ "Who dares cause a ruckus at my Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion?" A shrill voice cried, and a middle-aged man in khaki immortal robes landed in front of Mo Wuji.?" Even though there were more than ten people at the first floor of Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion now, it was actually incomparably quiet. Some of the customers that were worried about trouble had already ran away; those that didn''t run away stood quietly by the side. As long as one wasn''t a fool, it would be obvious that a huge affair was going to happen today. If the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion had gotten its face slapped like that and not report it to the higher ups, then they wouldn''t have achieved their current state today. Mo Wuji sized up the middle-aged man in front of him: goatee, triangle eyes and killing intent hidden in the corner of those eyes. Clearly, this middle-aged man really wanted to kill him immediately, but he managed to resist that thought; this was a tolerant fella. Moreover, Mo Wuji believed that this man''s cultivation had very likely to have exceeded the Grand Yi Immortal Stage; he might be in the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage or even the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji was sure that he wouldn''t be able to beat this person, but he also knew that the other person wouldn''t dare to beat him; at least till he reveals his identity. "Ruckus?" Mo Wuji said indifferently, "My junior brother was heavily injured here, if no one came forward to help him, then he would have already died here. Today, I''m not here to cause a ruckus. But if I''m not satisfied with your answer, then Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion doesn''t need to continue existing in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." There was no need to talk about the middle-aged man from Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, even the spectators at the sides exhaled a breath of cold air. To end the existence of Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, what kind of power was that? The anger within the middle-aged man''s heart went up another notch in that mere instant, but he was incredibly calm as he said, "Since that''s the case, let''s discuss inside." He knew why Mo Wuji was here; when Dou Hualong was maimed, he had also seen it. Even Shen Muqing, the person who helped Dou Hualong, didn''t dare say such words. What rights did this Golden Immortal in front of him have to dare say that Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion no longer needs to exist? It was exactly because it seemed so preposterous that he didn''t dare many mistakes. Before he killed Mo Wuji, he would at least need to have a clear understanding. Mo Wuji did not even reply him as he simply walked into the treasure pavilion and went up to the second floor. Dou Hualong naturally followed behind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also didn''t want to have the discussion outside. This was the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, and he knew a little about the power of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance here. If he had to cower outside, despite being an elder for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, not only would he be disgracing the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he would also loss his advantage. When he saw that Mo Wuji not only dared to enter but even went up to the second floor, this middle-aged man got increasingly cautious. The angrier he was, the more cautious he would be; this was the principle that allowed him to stay so long in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. There was only one small seal on the room of the second floor; Mo Wuji easily ripped it apart with a lift of his hand and walked in. When the middle-aged man saw Mo Wuji''s action, he was dumbfounded. Don''t underestimate Mo Wuji''s action as a mere casual tearing action; it showed that he was definitely an absolute expert when it comes to arrays. A fella with such an adept understanding towards arrays, yet does not have a high cultivation could he be from the Immortal Array Alliance? But if this fella was from the Immortal Array Alliance, then his Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion had nothing to fear. There were already three people in the room: two young man and a pretty woman. When she saw Mo Wuji casually rip the seal apart, the woman stared at Mo Wuji in shock. Since when was there such a tyrant? Mo With didn''t even care about the woman. He was an experienced man, he only needed a single glance to tell that the woman wasn''t an important figure. It was the two young men, however, that had a startling aura; they had the sort of spiritual aura that could be felt from far away. Mo Wuji guessed that these two men must definitely be those two Seven Star Geniuses, Ao Tiancheng and Cha Kai. Mo Wuji''s guess was right; these two people were exactly Ao Tiancheng and Cha Kai. Seeing Mo Wuji enter so disrespectfully, a hint of killing intent flashed in both Ao Tiancheng¡¯s and Cha Kai''s eyes. The two of them were also experienced in concealing their intentions; even though they had killing intent, they didn''t act immediately. Don''t overestimate Ao Tiancheng because he also killed Dou Hualong with a single step; that was because he knew that Dou Hualong was an ant. If Dou Hualong died, then so be it. But if he were to really meet someone of great origins, he wouldn''t act like a brainless idiot. Mo Wuji had just wrecked Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion''s stone lion, and now he even ripped the seal to the second floor room; he should not be a simple person. One must knew that even they wouldn''t dare to do such things. Moreover, they did not need to act regarding this matter. How this fella was going to be dealt with was Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion''s problem. The middle-aged man from Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion also walked in, then he said calmly to Mo Wuji, "Friend''s matter with my Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion doesn''t need to be discussed here. Let''s talk in the other room." Mo Wuji stared coldly at the middle-aged man, "You don''t have the rights to negotiate, my junior brother had been injured by one of these two people. You actually say that you don''t want to talk here, could it be that you wish to accept their blame? If that''s the case, then let''s go to the other room." When he heard Mo Wuji''s words, the middle-aged man was almost stunned still. Who was this fella? He hadn''t even settled the problem of the stone lion, and now he wanted to offend the two Seven Star Geniuses? Regardless who this was, after Mo Wuji said those words, he knew which option would be beneficial for his Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. He swept his hand and closed the seal; his voice was especially calm as he said, "What does Sir want?" "Hahahaha!" Ao Tiancheng suddenly chortled loudly, but there did not seem to be any bit of humour in his eyes. After laughing for a bit, he slapped the table, "Where did such a crazy fool come from? That ant behind you was swatted by me, Ao Tiancheng. There''s no need to talk about that ant, this old man even dares to swat you." As he spoke, the table disintegrated into dust. Then, Ao Tiancheng lifted his fist and struck towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to swing the saber on his back, slashing it over. "Boom!" The fist and the blade scar clashed; immortal elemental energy violently exploded within the room and everyone else in the room hurried to make way. "Crack! Crack!" Under the pressure of the immortal elemental energy, the seats started to crack and shatter. Ao Tiancheng got blasted by the terrifying saber energy. Even though Mo Wuji''s saber didn''t directly touch his hand, a deep scar actually formed on his fist. Ao Tiancheng retreated a few steps, then dispelled the killing intent in Mo Wuji''s blade scar. Because Mo Wuji had been storing his power, and had struck with a saber, he was an even match for Ao Tiancheng who only used a fist, despite Ao Tiancheng having the higher cultivation. Ao Tiancheng''s face changed; Mo Wuji was clearly at the Golden Immortal Stage, but Mo Wuji was not placed at a disadvantage in a head on clash. One must know that he was at the Great Circle of the Xuan Immortal Stage, and even had the Golden Dragon Bloodline. If this was a usual situation, he would have already brought out his magic treasure and battled with Mo Wuji. But when he recalled Mo Wuji''s words, he actually didn''t bring his magic treasure out. He guessed that this Mo Wuji must not be of simple origins. When he saw that Ao Tiancheng didn''t continue attacking, Mo Wuji coldly snorted. The saber in his hand formed an arc in the air before returning to his back. Even a fool, and the middle-aged man from Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion knew that Mo Wuji was not simple, much less a rash fool. Could a simple fella fight with a Great Circle Xuan Immortal with only a Golden Immortal Stage cultivation, and be evenly matched? Would a rash idiot have such strong power? "This friend, I am Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion¡¯s Shopkeeper Du Ju, may I know how I can address you?" The middle-aged man clasped his fists and spoke courteously; his tone was completely different from how he spoke previously. However, he was thinking in his heart that if Mo Wuji wasn''t of great origins, he would still send Mo Wuji out in many pieces. But now, his apprehension still outweighed his anger. The woman by the side hurriedly swept away the rubbish on the floor, then brought out a new jade table and some jade chairs. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to sit on the chair; when Dou Hualong saw that his big brother had already sat down, he followed suit. He had already thought about it, he was determined not bring down his big brother¡¯s might. Especially now that his big brother had sat down like that, that was simply incomparably tyrannical. Ao Tiancheng''s heart was brewing with killing intent. However, before Du Ju figured Mo Wuji''s origins, he was also not going to act. As for Cha Kai, he was previously fighting with Ao Tiancheng over an item, and the one that disciplined Dou Hualong wasn''t him. So naturally, he wouldn''t battle, he even clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. The woman brought out some jade cups, then poured some tea for everyone. Only then did Mo Wuji throw out his jade token, "Boss Du, take a look. Is my status enough to end your Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, if it isn''t, then I will go change to another one." Mo Wuji brought out his Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch Elder identity token. He believed that he didn''t need to use his Headquarter Honorary Elder identity or his Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King identity for such a small matter. The moment Du Ju received the jade token, Cha Kai and Ao Tiancheng sent their spiritual wills over. At this instant, everyone wanted to know what Mo Wuji''s identity was. "Elder Mo¡­" Du Ju''s started pounding heavily. He really wouldn''t have thought that Mo Wuji, at such a young age, would be an elder at Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Horn Branch, an authentic elder. If Mo Wuji''s identity was genuine, then his words about ending Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins really wasn''t mere bragging. Even if Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion was any bigger, when placed in front of a leviathan like the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it was really nothing but an ant. Soon, Du Ju knew that Mo Wuji''s identity definitely wasn''t fake. If Mo Wuji dared to impersonate an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, then he would have been courting death. Chapter 516: Three Flower Fire Heartstone Chapter 516: Three Flower Fire Heartstone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t even wait for Du Ju to return him his elder identity token. He opened his palm and the jade token went back to his hand. He was here to collect a debt, so the more arrogant he was, the better. If he showed any favour to a cunning fox like Du Ju, his debt would suffer a severe discount. Moreover, he knew that he couldn''t destroy this Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. The key thing that Mo Wuji knew clearly was that while his status wasn''t low, he couldn''t casually destroy it. It was true that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch had the ability to destroy this branch of the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, but having the ability and actually using it were two different things. If he really kicked this Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion out from Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, not only would he create an enemy for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he would also create a notorious reputation for himself as well. That would really affect the relations he could form in the future. He wanted to give Du Ju the impression that after he obtained the status as a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder, he was going to be arrogant and despotic, not caring about anything else other than his own benefits. Only by doing this, would be have the chance to obtain the greatest benefits. Mo Wuji had climbed through sh*t for so many years, and had gone through two lives, so how could he not know of such a simple logic? "Elder Mo, this matter is indeed my Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion¡¯s fault," Seeing Mo Wuji domineeringly retrieve the elder jade token, Du Ju¡¯s anger had completely disappeared. He hurriedly clasped his fists and expressed his apology. By the time you reach a position like Du Ju¡¯s, you would naturally knew when you could be angry, and when not to. Mo Wuji was hothead, but based on the fact that his power was so startling and he was able to become an elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance at such a young age, it would be weird that his origins were simple. One look at Mo Wuji¡¯s expression and they knew that this fella was arrogant to the bone. An arrogant fella could live happily till now, so how could his backer be simple? Moreover, this matter was indeed the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion¡¯s fault. Dou Hualong was injured within the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, and the Pavilion didn¡¯t do anything about it. If Dou Hualong was any other random passer-by, then even if he died, no would would care. However, the problem now was that this Dou Hualong actually had such a strong backer. So the situation was completely different. "Say it then, how should we handle this matter?" Mo Wuji knew that what needs to be done had been done. Now, he only needed to wait and collect the rewards. After saying that sentence, he deliberately brought his teacup up and sipped it. Du Ju said helplessly, "Elder Mo, you can take a look at the things in my Treasure Pavilion. If there¡¯s anything you like, you can take it." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will promptly swept the sales cabinets below. He knew that the Void Piercer¡¯s best treasures definitely wouldn¡¯t be placed within the display cabinets but he couldn¡¯t really do much about that. He definitely wasn¡¯t able to force the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion to bring out their best treasures. With a simple round of threats, it was already pretty amazing that he was able to achieve such an effect. Mo Wuji had his spiritual will scan the cabinets below; soon, he discovered that were various kinds of ores, immortal herbs, and some peculiar and unknown materials. Even though some of them were very valuable, they weren¡¯t very useful to Mo Wuji. More than ten minutes passed. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will now landed on an ancient jade letter; the jade letter had a very simple name, Equipment Dao. This was a jade letter about smithing equipment. Ever since Mo Wuj started suspecting Master Pu Zi, he wanted to learn smithing for his own. The reason why he had never started was because he never had the time and he didn¡¯t have a master. As he thought of this, he nodded towards Du Ju, his expression had warmed up and even his tone had become affable, "Dao Friend Du, I¡¯m very satisfied with you. Perhaps in the future, if I need anything, I might come to Dao Friend Du¡¯s place." Ever since Mo Wuji came, he had been oppressive and domineering. But when Mo Wuji suddenly spoke so amiably, it left Du Ju overwhelmed with favor. Du Ju hurriedly said, "Elder Mo is too courteous. If you need any help from me, Du Ju, in the future, feel free to instruct me. I, Du Ju, do not dare say much about anything else, but I should be able to help you with such rare and peculiar ores." This was Mo Wuji¡¯s desired effect; he did not come here to push Du Ju to his limits. Now that he had achieved his goals, he naturally needed to leave some favor behind to Du Ju. This matter had been extremely simple, and he had done a favor which costs nothing. "I see that Dao Friend Du Ju has many peak grade ores here. But I don¡¯t wish to punish Dao Friend Du by taking Dao Friend Du¡¯s ores away. How about this, I will just take that ¡®Equipment Dao¡¯ jade letter; consider it as an act of befriending Dao Friend Du." Du Ju was lightly startled; in reality, that jade letter was more valuable than many of the ores. But in his perspective, Mo Wuji said such things because he wasn¡¯t familiar with the goods sold in the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. However, if he could use this introductory level jade token to settle this problem, and befriend Mo Wuji, an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, then it would naturally be a good thing. He did not hesitate to clasp his fists and say, "Elder Mo, in the future, I, Du Ju, am Elder Mo¡¯s friend. If Elder Mo has any requests, if I, Du Ju, am able to do it, I definitely wouldn¡¯t reject you." With that, he extended his hand and that ¡®Equipment Dao¡¯ jade letter landed in his palms. He then handed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji accepted the jade letter, and without even looking at it, he threw it into his storage ring. At the same time, he brought out a vase of Yi Immortal Pills and handed it to Du Ju, "Dao Friend Du, I¡¯m glad to be friends with you. This is a vase of pills that I casually took from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s pill house. I¡¯m giving it to Dao Friend Du." This was how clever Mo Wuji was. If he simply took Du Ju¡¯s things without repaying anything, then this relationship was simply built on fear, and wouldn¡¯t be able to take another step forward. He had even damaged Du Ju¡¯s reputation previously. Now that Mo Wuji wanted to learn smithing, and since the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion had many rare ores, he genuinely wanted to befriend Du Ju. Thus, he wanted to give Du Ju a sense of being equals, and that he was not an overbearing bully. "Many thanks Elder Mo." Du Ju happily accepted the jade vase. The bottle of Yi Immortal Pills did not mean much, the most important thing was the respect that Mo Wuji gave him. Furthermore, Ao Tiancheng and Cha Kai were here. The respect from a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder would naturally raise his status. As he was keeping the Yi Immortal Pills, Du Ju casually scanned the vase with his spiritual will; he immediately changed his previous opinion. Because this vase did not contain ordinary Yi Immortal Pills; all the pills inside were unique grade. This further added on to Du Ju¡¯s idea that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t simple. A simply elder couldn¡¯t casually take out a vase full of unique grade Tier 4 immortal pills. Looks like Mo Wuji didn¡¯t casually give him this vase of Yi Immortal Pills, it was because these pills actually had value. Mo Wuji nodded towards Du Ju, then turned his eyes to Ao Tiancheng, whose eyes looked blank, "Ao Tiancheng, I know that you come from Zero Heaven Immortal Domain¡¯s Surging Dragon Golden River, and you¡¯re also a Seven Star Genius. You heavily injured my junior brother, and he even wanted to waste him. This matter has only just started." This matter had not ended; both Cha Kai and Du Ju did not say anything further. Ao Tiancheng sneered and stood up, "Elder Mo, you¡¯re a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder, but you¡¯re still helpless against my Surging Dragon Golden River. I, Ao Tiancheng, do not fear you." Mo Wuji chuckled, "It¡¯s up to you to try. If you dare to simply walk out of this Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion today, I will get the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to restrict your Surging Dragon Golden River. It¡¯s okay that you don¡¯t fear this status of a branch elder, not I have other statuses. If you don¡¯t trust me, we can slowly play it out." Mo Wuji really wasn¡¯t bragging; he still had the status of a Honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters. Even though this title of an elder was honorary and in name only, it was much better than a simple branch elder. When Du Ju heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, his heart pounded. When Mo Wuji first arrived, he had already mentioned it: if his current status wasn¡¯t enough, he could change to another one. Could that be true? As he thought of this, he celebrated that he didn¡¯t cause turn on Mo Wuji, and even befriend him. Ao Tiancheng¡¯s expression changed indeterminately; if he were to say that he didn¡¯t have any bit of apprehensions towards Mo Wuji, he would be lying. The status of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was not simple; it could be said that in the entire Immortal World, 90% of the peak pill refiners were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. If the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was offended, the simplest restriction it could do was to restrict the sale of pills. If the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was truly angered, then it could even issue a pill embargo which could end the Surging Dragon Golden River¡¯s existence in Zero Heaven Immortal Domain. "What do you want?" Ao Tiancheng¡¯s face changed multiple times until he finally asked this question. He was only a Seven Star Genius, he really wasn¡¯t considered the most important figure in the Surging Dragon Golden River; the Surging Dragon Golden River had three Seven Star Geniuses and one Eight Star Genius. "I heard that you injured my junior brother because of an ore. Take it out then," Mo Wuji said indifferently. The woman from the Void Piercer Treasure Pavlion hurriedly said, "Elder Mo, the ore is still in my Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion because Dao Friend Ao and Dao Friend Cha have yet to decide who this ore would go to." Ao Tiancheng snorted and said, "I have no opinion. Have a good look." Du Ju was sly and cunning; the moment he heard Ao Tiancheng say those words, he knew that Ao Tiancheng was relenting. Until now, Cha Kai didn¡¯t have any conflict with Mo Wuji. He naturally didn¡¯t hesitate to say, "I also don¡¯t have any objections." Since Cha Kai and Ao Tiancheng didn¡¯t have any objections, the woman naturally brought a jade box out and passed it to Mo Wuji. "Three Flower Fire Heartstone?" The moment Mo Wuji opened the jade box, his eyes glittered. He really never expected to see a Three Flower Fire Heartstone here. This was something that he dreamed of having. The Fire Heartstone was a transparent stone. Its difference from the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence was that there would be flowers in the stone¡¯s center. The lowest grade of the Fire Heartstone only had one flower, while the highest grade one was rumored to have nine flowers. The greatest use for the Fire Heartstone was to evolve immortal flames. A One Flower Fire Heartstone could help his Nirvana Immortal Flames. A Two Flower Fire Heartstone could help a Grade 1 immortal flame evolve to Grade 2. And the Three Flower Fire Heartstone in his hands could help Grade 2 immortal flames evolve to Grade 3. An usual Fire Heartstone was the same color as the one in his hands, red. In the ¡®Grass, Wood, Stone¡¯, Mo Wuji saw that there were also other colors, such as blue, green, purple, etc. Those Fire Heartstones were of higher grade than the red one. No matter what, he was going to have this Three Flower Fire Heartstone. Chapter 517: With My Own Shop Chapter 517: With My Own Shop Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This stone looks quite pretty." Mo Wuji fiddled around with the Three Flower Fire Heartstone. After saying that, he placed the Fire Heartstone back into the jade box, but he didn¡¯t pass the box back to the woman from Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. The moment Cha Kai saw this situation, he knew that if he was bent on having this Fire Heartstone, he would be forming an enmity with Mo Wuji. Anyway, if Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t come, Ao Tiancheng wouldn¡¯t have simply let him have the Fire Heartstone. Since Mo Wuji had spoke in such a manner, he straightforwardly said, "Since Elder Mo likes that stone, then I don¡¯t want it, Elder Mo can have it." With that, he glanced meaningfully at Ao Tiancheng, then said in an eccentric manner, "I¡¯m wondering how Immortal Friend Ao is going to compensate you. I believe that Immortal Friend Ao would take the initiative to pay for this Fire Heartstone." Ao Tiancheng snorted, turned and left. He could forget about the Fire Heartstone, but if this Mo Wuji must be dreaming if Mo Wuji expected him to spend his own immortal crystals to purchase this Fire Heartstone as compensation. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Ao Tiancheng, if you dare leave this establishment without compensation, I will do two things. One, I will request for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to immediately end all deals with the Surging Dragon Golden River. Two, after I purchase this stone, I will beat you back at where you came from. Oh right, don¡¯t worry, I will not ask the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance for help. I will beat you by myself." With that, Mo Wuji stared at Ao Tiancheng with an icy cold expression; he wasn¡¯t kidding when he said those words. He was a Honorary Elder; it definitely wouldn¡¯t be a problem to ask the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to do that. If the alliance couldn¡¯t even do such a simple thing, then he would rather not be a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Honorary Elder. As for beating Ao Tiancheng back at where he came from, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t lying about that. He didn¡¯t even fear Ao Tiancheng. With his identity, even if he had a huge battle with Ao Tiancheng back at Ao Tiancheng¡¯s home ground, he wouldn¡¯t even face any consequences. More importantly, battling with Ao Tiancheng would only bring him benefits, and not consequences. But it would be different for Ao Tiancheng. Since someone had come knocking on his door but he wasn¡¯t able to do anything about it, he would be losing all of his face. Ao Tiancheng stopped and a sharp light emerged from his eyes. Intense killing intent rose from his heart; if this wasn¡¯t Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he would have already attacked Mo Wuji. However, his rationality was still there. He took a few deep breaths, then threw a storage ring to Du Ju, "This is the payment for the Fire Heartstone. Goodbye." After saying that, he turned and left. To be honest, he had never suffered such grievances ever since he started cultivation. If it was possible, he really wanted to have a huge battle with Mo Wuji and talk with his abilities and fists. However, he wouldn¡¯t simply forget about the grievances he suffered today. He did not believe that Mo Wuji would stay cooped up in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins for his entire life. As long as Mo Wuji dares to leave Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, then Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t blame him for trying to take his life. It was just that he had no choice but to relent today; Surging Dragon Golden River¡¯s dependence on the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was not small. Even the pills he used to advance to the Xuan Immortal Stage was from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Moreover, the Surging Dragon Golden River still needed many more strategic pills for the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage, or even the Immortal King Stage. If the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was to be offended, then his Surging Dragon Golden River would gradually be trampled under others¡¯ feet. Another reason was that he was really afraid that Mo Wuji would go to where he came from and beat him. He, Ao Tiancheng, was a proud man. If a Golden Immortal came knocking on his door for a fight, wouldn¡¯t he be losing his reputation? There was no need to talk about how mysterious Mo Wuji¡¯s power was. Even if the other party¡¯s power was very low, could he still dare kill the other party? Now that Mo Wuji obtained what he wanted, he clasped his fists to Du Ju and Cha Kai, "Many thanks Dao Friend Du and Dao Friend Cha. This Mo will be leaving now, we will meet again in the future if I need any help." He knew that it was impossible to get Ao Tiancheng to apologize. And when the two meet again privately in the future, they were sure to be in a life and death battle. Since he had beat Ao Tiancheng down, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn¡¯t want to form hostilities with Cha Kai. Moreover, Cha Kai seemed to have the intentions of befriending him; having one friend was definitely better than having one enemy, "Of course, of course. Let me send Elder Mo out," Du Ju grinned. "I¡¯m also leaving. Since it¡¯s convenient, I will leave with Elder Mo," Cha Kai also stood up and smiled. Either way, there was nothing bad from befriending a branch elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. ¡­ In a rest house near Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion, Shen Muqing had called for some tea as she waited; she really wanted to know how things would have turned out. There were no sounds from Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion for a long time; she even wondered whether Mo Wuji and Dou Hualong had already been killed inside. Sharphorn Immortal Ruins did not permit killing, but Mo Wuji had destroyed the Treasure Pavilion¡¯s stone lion. Under such circumstances, it was possible for Mo Wuji to be killed. After some time, she saw Ao Tiancheng leaving with a face full of killing intent and resentment. She could not help but think: Could Cha Kai have won? The answer soon appeared in front of her eyes. She even thought that her eyes were fooling her and she immediately rubbed her eyes. Mo Wuji and Dou Hualong walked out without harm. Not only that, the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion¡¯s Shopkeeper Du Ju was behind them with smiles plastered all over his face; he was clearly sending Mo Wuji off. Even Cha Kai was walking beside Mo Wuji, seemingly also sending Mo Wuji off. After walking for some distance out of the Treasure Pavilion, Cha Kai actually clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and bid his farewells. Du Ju also seemed to speak some words of courtesy before turning and returning back to the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. Mo Wuji really left Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion without losing a single hair. Shen Muqing was not a fool; she immediately knew what was going on. As expected, Mo Wuji was of startling origins, otherwise, Du Ju and Cha Kai wouldn¡¯t have behaved in such a manner. He was even personally sent out by the shopkeeper despite destroying the Treasure Pavilion¡¯s stone lion. Moreover, there was also that Ao Tiancheng that left first; that guy clearly seemed to suffer some loss. Why would Ao Tiancheng suffer a loss? Even if Shen Muqing used her limbs to think, she could also deduce that it was because Ao Tiancheng was the one to cause Dou Hualong¡¯s injuries. Shen Muqing inhaled deeply; she had missed the opportunity to befriend Mo Wuji. This incident had also let her understand one principle: if she wanted to befriend a person, she should not worry or fear anything. If she had an attitude that only cared about the benefits and did not want to share hardships, then she would be completely unable to make a true friend. She guessed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t ordinary, but when she could contribute to help him, she hesitated. Fortunately, she was now acquainted with Mo Wuji, so she didn¡¯t waste her previous efforts. Even though she couldn¡¯t become a bosom friend of Mo Wuji¡¯s, she was an acquaintance at the very least, and she even left behind a favour. There was nothing bad about that. ¡­ Mo Wuji did not immediately return to Riverface Immortal Resthouse, but headed to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Dou Hualong told him that Gong Yi had already helped him set up a store; he wanted to see how the store turned out. "Elder Mo." Just as Mo Wuji reached the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch, Gong Yi received the news and came to welcome him. Mo Wuji said respectfully, "Deacon Gong, I will be behind closed doors during this period of time. I will have to trouble you for help." Gong Yi grinned to the point where his eyes couldn¡¯t be seen and he said hurriedly, "There¡¯s no trouble, no trouble at all. We¡¯ve already found a store. It was primarily due to Manager Guo¡¯s help, I was merely a runner." As he spoke, Gong Yi brought out a scroll and passed it to Mo Wuji, "This is the store¡¯s contract deed. In the future, this store would be Elder Mo¡¯s." Mo Wuji originally wanted to rent a store; he never expected that Guo Qi would buy him one. He hurriedly said, "Then I would have to thank Sister Guo. I need to do that personally, and pass her the money at the same time." Purchasing a store in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins definitely didn¡¯t cost a small number. Even if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to afford it, he wanted to know the price, then think of how he could repay it. Gong Yi hurriedly said, "Manager Guo, President Shang and Pill King Shunan have left Sharphorn Immortal Ruins due to an urgent matter. President Shang even said that he would invite Elder Mo for a banquet when he returns." Leave Sharphorn Immortal Ruins for an urgent matter? Something that could get the few important figures of Pill Dao Immortal Ruins to leave at the same time definitely wasn¡¯t a small matter. "Elder Mo, let me bring you to the store." Gong Yi was very quick-witted. Mo Wuji was a capable Pill King that even Manager Guo and Second President Shang wanted to befriend. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally help and befriend Mo Wuji. "Alright, then I would have to trouble Deacon Gong." Mo Wuji nodded. ¡­ The store that Guo Qi found for Mo Wuji was half an hour away from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance; it could not be considered very far. Even though it wasn¡¯t in the the busiest place in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, there was a constant and steady flow of people. What left Mo Wuji most satisfied was that this store wasn¡¯t small. It was hundreds of square meters in area, and it even had three floors. It was already considered incredibly to have such a store in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Even some sizeable sects would not be able to have such a territory. The moment he entered the store, Mo Wuji saw rows of shiny product cabinets. Even though the cabinets were empty, it showed that the person who decided the layout had been very diligent. "Many thanks Deacon Gong." Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude sincerely. Gong Yi waved his hand slightly awkwardly. He seemed to have something to say but he felt uncomfortable saying it. Mo Wuji asked curiously, "Does Deacon Gong want to say something?" Gong Yi suddenly kneel on the ground, "Elder Mo, my Pill Dao has been stagnant. I want to plead elder to be my teacher. Mo Wuji startled; this fella was really something. This Gong Yi was already a Grand Yi Immortal, but he wanted to take a Golden Immortal as a teacher? "Please stand up and take. I¡¯m also in the process of learning, so I can¡¯t take any disciples," Mo Wuji said indifferently. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want to take in disciples, but it was because Gong Yi didn¡¯t satisfy his standards for a disciple. Seeing Gong Yi stand up despondently, Mo Wuji consoled, "You¡¯re also the Assessment Deacon for Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, so it isn¡¯t convenient for you to come here¡­" "Elder Mo, I can come here and work for you. Our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance doesn¡¯t care too much about this. Our pill refiners don¡¯t get restrained by the alliance, they can do anything they want," Gong Yi said hurriedly. Mo Wuji sank into contemplation; his pill house was opening, so he would need some help. This Gong Yi was slightly snobbish, but he was an experienced person. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji nodded, "Since that¡¯s the case, you can work here. I can give you some pointers occasionally, but regarding me being your master, there¡¯s no need to talk about that." "Many thanks Elder Mo," Gong Yi rejoiced and said. What he wanted now was to be by Mo Wuji¡¯s side and study the Pill Dao. Chapter 518: The Difficulty To Be An Immortal Emperor Chapter 518: The Difficulty To Be An Immortal Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji nodded and asked, "Gong Yi, do you know anything about the Broken World?" Gong Yi hurriedly said, "I do. The first two levels of the Broken World have already been opened and can be entered at any time. Even though many people have already went in, the first two levels still remain places where many people continue to go to. They have all sorts of treasures in the first two level, and there were all sorts of cultivators that stream in and out of them everyday. The third level of the Broken World would open half a year later. The reason why so many geniuses have gathered at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins is because they''re waiting to go to the third level." "Does that mean that Grand Yi Immortals aren''t able to enter the third level?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. Gong Yi answered, "Only when it first opens. One year after the third level opens, Grand Yi Immortals would be able to enter it. For example, anyone can go to the first and second level of the Broken World. However, within the first year that the third level opens, only cultivators at the Xuan Immortal Stage and below would be able to enter." Mo Wuji came to an understanding; even though he was not a Xuan Immortal, he would be able to enter the third level. The moment he exceeds the Xuan Immortal Stage, he would no longer be able to do so. "If I want to go to the Broken World, do I need to apply for anything?" When Mo Wuji thought about how so many Star-grade geniuses want to go to the Broken World, he started to believe that there must be many treasures in there. Gong Yi hurriedly said, "Elder Mo is a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder. You just need to show your Elder Identity Token." So simple? Mo Wuji was still thinking if he needed to find anyone to gain access to enter the Broken World, but he never expected that his identity token would already be enough. "Since that''s the case, then Gong Yi, you can stay in the store. But don''t start doing any business. I also need to be behind closed doors for a period of time. Wait till I come out and return from the Broken World before we officially open shop," Mo Wuji instructed. He was very clear that his power was still too low. Even though he did not fear Ao Tiancheng, he couldn''t do anything to Ao Tiancheng either. With his current power, he could only preserve himself in front of Ao Tiancheng. This self-preservation even required him to use his spatial teleportation. It was incredibly difficult to reach the late Golden Immortal Stage in half a year''s time, but no matter what, he was going to try. "Elder Mo, if you are going to have a closed doors cultivation session, then I suggest that you do it at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Immortal Training Pool. Elders and above are allowed to cultivate there, and it''s much more effective than using immortal crystals and spirit gathering arrays," Gong Yi hurriedly said when he heard that Mo Wuji was going to be entering closed doors. "Immortal Training Pool?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically. Gong Yi nodded, "Yes, the Immortal Training Pool. That''s the place that the elders and presidents use to cultivate. It''s one of the most important places in our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch." "How do I go there?" Mo Wuji asked urgently. "I will bring Elder Mo over," Gong Yi did not hesitate to say. ¡­ Mo Wuji got Dou Hualong to help him check out of his room at Riverface Immortal Resthouse, while he hurriedly followed Gong Yi to the Immortal Training Pool. This trip to the Broken World was no joke; there would be many Star-grade geniuses going and most of them were in the Xuan Immortal Stage. When it comes to cultivation, he was still at the bottom of the crowd. "Gong Yi, is the strongest person in our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch the currently cultivating President?" Mo Wuji asked as they made their way. Gong Yi replied, "Yes, I heard that the President is already at the edge of the Immortal Emperor Dao Seat. This time, after he comes out of his closed doors, he would very likely have become a Quasi-Emperor. Once the President becomes a Quasi-Emperor, then our Sharphorn Branch¡­" "The President hasn¡¯t reached the Immortal Emperor Realm?" Mo Wuji interrupted Gong Yi¡¯s words as he asked in astonishment. He believed that since the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was so strong, their Branch President here would naturally be an Immortal Emperor expert. Gong Yi was feeling rather helpless; this Elder Mo could be said to have the best talent in pills that he had ever seen; Elder Mo¡¯s future potential was limitless. But how could an elder with such great potential with pills know so little about cultivation? "Elder Mo, the total number of Immortal Emperors in our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance can be counted in one hand; this even includes some Great Immortal Emperors that don¡¯t reveal themselves to the world. In reality, it is already very incredible that our Sharphorn Branch has a Quasi-Emperor," Gong Yi replied in a detailed and respectful manner. In reality, he was already overestimating when he said that the number could be counted in one hand. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance probably didn¡¯t have five Immortal Emperors; Gong Yi wasn¡¯t sure, but in his perspective, it was very likely to be so. When Mo Wuji heard these words, he frowned slightly. If they didn¡¯t even have five Immortal Emperors, what did the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance have which allowed it to lord over everyone else? After some time, Mo Wuji asked another question, "Gong Yi, I heard that the Devil Moon Immortal Sect¡¯s Elder Gu is in the late Immortal Emperor Stage, and he even fought with the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor over a purple gourd. Does that mean that the Devil Moon Immortal Sect is a peak grade sect?" Gong Yi temporarily forgot Mo Wuji¡¯s identity as he sneered, "The Devil Moon Immortal Sect has an Immortal Emperor? They must be bragging. If they had an Immortal Emperor, it would merely be one in the early stage. I know that Elder Gu, he is merely someone who was at the Quasi-Emperor stage for quite some time." Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "If the Elder Gu isn¡¯t even in the Immortal Emperor Stage, then how was he able to battle with Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor? And was even able to damage Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heaven and Earth?" Gong Yi replied, "Yong Ying Immortal Domain is ranked the lowest among all the seven Immortal Domains. Its Heavenly Emperor is called Kui Fengyun, who¡¯s only a Quasi-Emperor. Yong Ying Immortal Domain might have some Immortal Emperors but it¡¯s definitely not Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun." Mo Wuji sank into silence; he did not believe that Gong Yi would lie to him. The only possibility was that the intel he got was wrong. But that did not seem impossible; Dou Hualong was merely a worker doing odd jobs on the streets, the information that he could obtain were basically those that were being spread around by the common people. When any news gets spread around, there was bound to be distortions in the truth. This was especially so for battles like this, the people spreading the rumors wanted to exaggerate and glamorise the battle, thus they would make it sound especially incredible and impressive. Seeing Mo Wuji turn silent, Gong Yi explained, "Ever since the ancient times, being an Immortal Emperor is an extremely difficult thing. Not only must one have the fate, one must also have the luck; one cannot solely do it based on talent alone. Because it¡¯s heard to become an Immortal Emperor, many sects have addressed their Quasi-Emperors as Immortal Emperors. But in reality, there is a huge difference; 100 Quasi-Emperors would still be ants in front of 1 Immortal Emperor." Mo Wuji patted Gong Yi¡¯s shoulder, "Gong Yi, this information of yours is very useful to me. Thank you." Indeed, if he didn¡¯t interact with something personally, the news that he obtains might not hold water. Moreover, don¡¯t underestimate Gong Yi because he was acting like a little kid fawning over Mo Wuji. In reality, a majority of geniuses could not compare to Gong Yi¡¯s background. An Assessment Deacon for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, just this title alone was enough to suppress many people. And being at this position, Gong Yi would naturally receive more reliable news. Gong Yi felt a little overwhelmed by favor; what he said was merely the most basic of knowledge. Mo Wuji did not continue asking Gong Yi about the purple gourd. Either way, that matter was temporarily not related to him. When they finally reached the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance entrance, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something and he immediately turned to ask, "Gong Yi, if Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor isn¡¯t in the Immortal Emperor Stage, then why don¡¯t the other Immortal Domains attack it?" Gong Yi lowered his voice and pointed above his head, "I head that outside of the seven Immortal Domains, there is still the Very High Heavens. Many of the Immortal World¡¯s rules and order is because of the Very High Heavens." Mo Wuji did not ask any further; he could faintly feel that he should not continue asking about this. Even if he did, Gong Yi also wouldn¡¯t know anything much. As Mo Wuji started to know more things, ht started to feel that the Immortal World wasn¡¯t some great Heaven, it was still a world filled with petty and narrow-minded people that only served themselves. ¡­ Mo Wuji did not expect that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Immortal Training Pool would be at the basement level 2; that meant that it was one level below their treasury. After bringing Mo Wuji here, Gong Yi stopped and pointed to the huge stone gate in front of them, "Elder Mo, behind that stone gate is our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch¡¯s Immortal Training Pool. Only the jade token of elders and above can open it." "I understand. Gong Yi, you can return to the store first. Wait till I come back from the Broken World, I will go to the store and teach you some pill techniques." Mo Wuji knew what were Gong Yi¡¯s thoughts. Even though a part of Gong Yi¡¯s actions was due to respect, more importantly, Gong Yi wanted help to improve in the Pill Dao. To Gong Yi, cultivation was not as important as pill mastery when he was looking for a teacher. "Yes, many thanks Elder." Now that Gong Yi had obtained Mo Wuji¡¯s promise, he contentedly left Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. After Gong Yi left, Mo Wuji brought out his Elder Identity Token and inserted it into the groove next to the stone gate. Indeed, after he inserted the jade token, the stone gate started to emit a series of ¡®Ge Ge¡¯ sounds as it opened slowly. Even before he walked into the stone gate, Mo Wuji could feel the rich delight of immortal spiritual energy. Mo Wuji hurriedly pulled out his jade token and swiftly entered the Immortal Training Pool. After Mo Wuji entered, the heavy stone gate also started to slowly close. This was a huge hall. In the center of the hall, was a huge pool that was more than a hundred square meters in area. At the center of the pool, there was a stone futon. There were fogs of immortal mist rolling around the surface of the pool. The immortal spiritual energy here wasn¡¯t merely rich, it even contained a form of natural dao energy. Mo Wuji hurriedly leap towards that stone futon. Sitting cross-legged, he activated all 108 of his meridians. 108 small circulation paths formed. Thereafter, these small circulation paths joined to form a huge circulation path. Within instants, a huge immortal spiritual energy formed a huge wave that flooded towards Mo Wuji. The immortal mist seemed to have found a gap as it furiously streamed towards Mo Wuji¡¯s surroundings, before disappearing within Mo Wuji¡¯s body. The unrestrained Mo Wuji was like a huge millstone; as copious amounts of immortal spiritual energy surged in him, he continued to grind it down like a mill, then converting it into his own power. Ever since Mo Wuji reached the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage, he clearly felt his cultivation speed getting stagnant. But at this instant, as he furiously cultivated within the Immortal Training Pool, his stagnant cultivation was activated again and it continued to rise steadily. His sea of consciously expanded; his immortal elemental energy continued to condense; his meridians continuously became wider.... Chapter 519: Nine Star Genius’s Seat Chapter 519: Nine Star Genius¡¯s Seat Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Five months later, Mo Wuji¡¯s intermediate Golden Immortal Stage cultivation reached its maximum. Under the barrage of the rich immortal spiritual energy, his cultivation broke past the intermediate stage as he arrived at the late Golden Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji could feel that the immortal spiritual energy around him seemed to get weaker, so he stopped his cultivation. The moment he opened his eyes, he discovered that the immortal mist did indeed become thinner. He couldn¡¯t cultivate any further; if he cultivated any further, he might actually suck this Immortal Training Pool dry of its immortal spiritual energy. Moreover, the Broken World would be opening soon, and he didn¡¯t want to miss that opportunity. Mo Wuji stood up. Just when he was thinking about leaving, his heart suddenly pounded. Spiritual energy rapidly condensed around his forehead; his spiritual eye appeared. What left Mo Wuji pleasantly surprised was that he discovered that his spiritual eye was now stronger by multiple times; he could even see the outlines of the restrictive arrays around this Immortal Training Pool. His spiritual eye really improved together with his cultivation. As he thought about how his spiritual eye could now see through arrays, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart became filled with anticipation. The moment his spiritual eye reaches a certain level, then even if he wasn¡¯t able to understand an array, he could use the spiritual eye to help him. Previously, he didn¡¯t care too much about his spiritual eye, but from the current looks of it, this sacred art was really amazing. Mo Wuji cleaned himself up and walked out the Immortal Spirit Pool. The moment he reached the first floor¡¯s hall, Mo Wuji saw Gong Yi waiting for him. "Congratulations Elder Mo for coming out of your session." When Gong Yi saw Mo Wuji, he happily came over to pay his greetings. This Gong Yi was definitely wise about the ways of the world, he actually waited out here for Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji started to think that this person was the most suitable person to run the store. It would be best if he could get a huge pile of immortal herbs during his trip to the Broken World, then he could concoct a large amount of pills for Gong Yi to sell. Seeing Mo Wuji nodd his head, Gong Yi knew that his actions were right. He hurriedly said, "Hualong is cultivating in the store. I know that the Broken World would open soon, so I came to bring the elder over." Mo Wuji was just intending to go to the Broken World. Now that he heard Gong Yi¡¯s words, he promptly replied, "Since that¡¯s the case, I will have to trouble you. Oh right, during my closed doors session, nothing special happened right?" Gong Yi speedily answered, "Nothing much. A Star-grade genius called Shen Muqing came to visit once. But when she heard that you were behind closed doors, she didn¡¯t make any further visits. Also, Luo Ling Immortal Domain¡¯s Immortal Emperor Wen Lan gained some insights while in a waterfall. To confirm her dao, she used the Noble Goldfire Shade to suppress the fates and created the Waterfall Immortal Sect. At the same time, she¡¯s inviting various experts to participate in her immortal tea assembly." He might have heard from Dou Hualong that this Elder Mo was interested in all kinds of news. Thus, Gong Yi specially went to listen to some gossip. Indeed, he discovered that Mo Wuji looked very satisfied after hearing these news. The departure area for the Broken World was not very far from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. The two of them conversed as they made their way over, and in an incense¡¯s time, they arrived at their destination. "Elder Mo, the Transfer Tower from Sharphorn Immortal Ruins to the Broken World is in front. You just need to show your identity token to enter. Typically, those heading to the Broken World would go to the Tower half to one month in advance. That way, they would be able to get on the transfer array first, and then have a better position. Not only would having a better position affect your reputation, it would also be beneficial to your cultivation," Gong Yi pointed to a tower and said. Mo Wuji was very satisfied with Gong Yi¡¯s work attitude, "Gong Yi, you can return first. Hualong isn¡¯t very experienced, take care of him as much as you can. Wait for me to return, I will guide you to become a Tier 4 Pill King." Gong Yi was so excited that his hands started trembling. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji had misspoke, it should be guiding him from Tier 2 to Tier 3, but to him, there was no difference. Over all these years, he was just lacking that bit to become a true Tier 3 Pill Monarch. Even if he got the guidance of a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King like Mo Wuji, it still wasn¡¯t a casual thing for him to get past that gap. "Yes, Elder Mo." Gong Yi bowed, then waited at the side. Mo Wuji walked into the Transfer Tower. "Show your invitation token to the Broken World." The moment Mo Wuji entered, a cultivator blocked him. Mo Wuji took out his Elder Identity Token. The cultivator casually received Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token, but when he saw that Mo Wuji was a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder, his expression immediately turned serious. After carefully examining the authenticity of the jade token, this cultivator respectfully passed the jade token back to Mo Wuji with both his hands, "Elder Mo, please head up to the third floor." Truly a good thing to use. Mo Wuji nodded to this cultivator, kept his jade token and entered. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji entered the Transfer Tower¡¯s third floor, he found that it was already full of people. The seats here seemed to be stratified. Close to the winders, the relatively brighter chairs seemed to be engraved with nine stars. Not so close to the window, the relative more spacious chairs were inscribed with eight stars. The chairs further away had seven stars, then six stars, then five stars. The chairs furthest away and the chairs at the corner did not have any engravings or logos. His merely swept through the room with his eyes and he saw the clear distinction. Those that occupied the star seats were experts brimming with spiritual aura. The ordinary looking cultivators would sit at the outer chairs; some of them were even standing. At the same time, he saw a few familiar people: Murong Xiangyu, Qiao Qianyan, Ao Tiancheng. There was even that Gu Zijian who was by Murong Xiangyu¡¯s side. Mo Wuji did not care too much about it. Since there were some empty seats, he was not going to stand outside. He randomly found a seat close to the window and sat down. After all, they weren¡¯t going to be transferred away immediately, and this seat had an good view and felt more comfortable. The moment she saw Mo Wuji, Murong Xiangyu frowned. She could not figure out why Mo Wuji would come to this place. One must know that none of the cultivators here were ordinary people. Even those sitting at the corners had huge backgrounds. They were either Five Star Geniuses, or cultivators that had high statuses, but low cultivation. [1] "Yan Ye, what are you doing here?" Qiao Qianyan was the first one to ask this question. Mo Wuji smiled, "I already changed my name. I¡¯m no longer called Yan Ye, but Mo Wuji." Qiao Qianyan did not care about Mo Wuji changing his name; he continued, "Dao Friend Mo, I suggest that you don¡¯t sit there." Mo Wuji was Murong Xiangyu¡¯s first dao companion, which caused him to feel discontented with Mo Wuji at the start. But now, Mo Wuji was no longer related to Murong Xiangyu, and he had also been kicked out of the relationship. This made him feel that Mo Wuji and him were fellow sufferers. Moreover, Mo Wuji came from the same place as him, so Qiao Qianyan was more familiar with Mo Wuji than the other cultivators here. "Why?" Mo Wuji asked curiously, "Could this seat already have been reserved?" "You¡¯re right, that seat was indeed reserved. The person who reserved your seat there is me," A slightly raspy voice came over, and a youth with a slender figure and fair skin walked in. Mo Wuji was thinking inwardly: This fella looks so delicate, he¡¯s simply a woman. "Go off then. I won¡¯t cause you trouble." The delicate youth walked in front of Mo Wuji, his voice was calm. Mo Wuji frowned slightly; he turned his gaze to Ao Tiancheng, "Ao Tiancheng, tell me, is this seat reserved? If it really is reserved, then I will make way." Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t asked Gong Yi this question. Thus he didn¡¯t know whether the waiting seats to the Broken World could not reserved. If it was really true that the seats could be reserved, then he was indeed being unreasonable by taking another person¡¯s seat. Ao Tiancheng didn¡¯t have to mood to care about Mo Wuji, but he was slightly worried that Mo Wuji was going to be unreasonable. He had seen how unreasonable this fella could be. This fella simply used his saber to destroy the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion¡¯s stone lion without reason or warning. If this fella really caused trouble for him here, he really might be unable to go to the Broken World. On the other hand, Mo Wuji, as a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder, would still have the chance to go to the Broken World even if he caused trouble here. However, he did want to see this fella fighting with Huan Xiuran. As he thought of this, Ao Tiancheng said calmly, "The seats here can¡¯t be reserved, it¡¯s first come first serve. The reason why your seat is said to be reserved is because of the silent rule that the seats near the window are for Nine Star Geniuses." Mo Wuji came to an understanding; that meant that this fair youth in front of him was a Nine Star Genius. There was no need to talk about this fair youth in front of him, if another Nine Star Genius came, that genius could also sit at his seat. Even though he was no Star-grade genius, he, Mo Wuji, was the progenitor of the meridian cultivation method. Compared to a Nine Star Genius, he wasn¡¯t far off, right? Moreover, if he had enough cultivation resources, with his 108 meridians forming a huge cultivation path, how would Nine Star Geniuses compare to him? There would definitely lose. He was bent on having this seat; and he had the rights to sit there. Even though Ao Tiancheng was a Seven Star Genius, his explosive temper was famous. Everyone in the room never thought that this fella with an explosive temper would patiently answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question. He didn¡¯t even lean towards Huan Xiuran; this momentarily left everyone flabbergasted. "Sorry, I came here first. You can go find another seat." Now that Mo Wuji knew that it was impossible to reserve seats, he did not hesitate to reject Huan Xiuran¡¯s request; he even felt some discontent in his heart. If the seats were classified based on talent, then who could say that this fella was more talented than him? Huan Xiuran coldly asked, "I wonder Sir is which sect¡¯s Nine Star Genius? Why haven¡¯t I seen you before?" Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Whether I¡¯m a Nine Star Genius or not is not related to you. Who says that only Nine Star Geniuses can sit here? Why can¡¯t Ten Star Geniuses take this seat?" Originally, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care too much about having a good position. But now that he saw a Nine Star Genius try to take his seat, he felt that Gong Yi wasn¡¯t kidding about having a good position. "Since that¡¯s the case, let me see how tough your bones are, and your talented you are to sit here." Huan Xiuran¡¯s voice was calm, but his killing intent could no longer be concealed. [1] Because those with high cultivation (Grand Yi Immortal and above) weren¡¯t allowed to go during the first year of the opening. Chapter 520: Come At Me Chapter 520: Come At Me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he finished those words, he opened his hand and a green longsword appeared in his palm. The surrounding cultivators silently watched as the situation developed; everyone knew that Mo Wuji was purposely ridiculing Huan Xiuran. The highest level of Star-grade geniuses was Nine Star, since when was there a Ten Star Genius? Mo Wuji stood up indifferently; he did not fear a fight. "Senior Brother Xiuran, please wait." A resounding voice stopped Huan Xiuran; following which, Shen Muqing walked in. "Greetings Brother Mo." When Shen Muqing first walked in, she actually smiled and clasped her fists towards Mo Wuji. Just when that action stunned the crowd, Shen Muqing turned to clasped her fists towards Huan Xiuran, "Senior Brother Xiuran, on account of me, can you sit somewhere else?" Huan Xiuran''s eyebrow twitched and his killing intent became more apparent; Shen Muqing was merely from the same Immortal Domain as him. Moreover, what did the Floating Flowe Immortal Valley count for? It did not deserve him, Huan Xiuran, to care about their face and reputation. It didn''t matter who this fella was, everyone could forget about getting him to pick another seat. Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard Shen Muqing transmitting a message to him, "Senior Brother Xiuran, this Dao Friend Mo¡¯s background is far from ordinary. A few months ago, his junior brother got injured at the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion because of Ao Tiancheng. Because of that, he directly shattered Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion''s stone lion. But at the end, I even saw the Treasure Pavilion''s shopkeeper personally sending him off, and I guess that Ao Tiancheng must have paid some compensation. So to not cause a huge ruckus, I suggest for Senior Brother Xiuran not to offend him." When the infuriated Huan Xiuran heard Shen Muqing''s words, he got a shock and he immediately calmed down. Even he wouldn''t dare to destroy the stone lion at the entrance of the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. "Senior Brother Xiuran, this is his first time here going to the Broken World, there''s many rules that he doesn''t know. I plead for Senior Brother Xiuran to be merciful¡­" Just at this moment, Murong Xiangyu suddenly stood up, clasped her fists and said. Mo Wuji was slightly doubtful, Murong Xiangyu, this woman, was a determined person. Since she had already decided to end things with him, why would she choose to help him at this moment? He soon figured out what was going on: the reason why Murong Xiangyu said those words was probably because of the guilt that she felt in her heart. That was because he had said that he wanted to come here because of her. Those words of hers were meant to write off that guilt. After saying those words, Murong Xiangyu immediately turned to Mo Wuji, "Yan Ye, leave that seat immediately. Otherwise, no one can save you." Mo Wuji did not even bother standing up, "One, I''m now called Mo Wuji. Two, I sat here first, so why should I move? Three, I don''t need anyone''s help." Murong Xiangyu''s eyes turned cold and she turned away. She didn''t say anything, she didn''t even want to look at Mo Wuji anymore. Just when everyone thought that Huan Xiuran was going to attack, Huan Xiuran said indifferently, "Since Junior Sister Shen and Junior Sister Murong have spoken, then I will forget about it." With that, he voluntarily moved over to another conspicuous seat and sat down, not speaking any further. There were as many experts as there were clouds in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins; no one here was a weakling. Huan Xiuran was from Heaven Accordance Island, even though his background was not ordinary, there were many more people with unordinary backgrounds. Moreover, with his talent, he wouldn''t fight with a person with unclear origins over a seat. Even though he wanted to discipline Mo Wuji, it had to be done where no one was seeing. The spectators were now even more flabbergasted; Huan Xiuran was the Young Island Master of the Heaven Accordance Island and was a Nine Star Genius. He would actually care about Shen Muqing''s face? Moreover, he would get more benefits by taking Mo Wuji''s seat. Where did this fella with scars on his face come from? To actually cause Huan Xiuran to take a step back? Even though there was Gu Zijian beside Murong Xiangyu, it still wasn''t enough to get Huan Xiuran to care. Murong Xiangyu also never expected that Huan Xiuran would care about her face, to forget about disciplining Mo Wuji and even chose to step back from the situation. This left a great, pleasant feeling in her heart. Even though she helped to speak up, she would not have thought that Huan Xiuran would step back and find another seat because of her. As she thought of this, she even bowed slightly to Huan Xiuran, implying that she had taken note of this favour. At the same time, her disdain towards Mo Wuji grew. Compared to these Star-grade geniuses, Mo Wuji was simply too ignorant to even appreciate favours. Mo Wuji smiled to Shen Muqing, "Fairy Shen, why don''t you sit beside me. The view here is not bad." Shen Muqing hesitated slightly; the seat that Mo Wuji pointed to was for Eight Star Geniuses, but she was only a Seven Star Genius. But if she didn''t sit, she might distant herself from Mo Wuji. This was supposedly a Eight Star Genius¡¯s seat, but she was a Seven Star Genius, so no one would fight with her for it right? As she thought of this, she immediately smiled, "Then I''ll sit here." After she sat down, Shen Muqing transmitted a message to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, that Huan Xiuran is the Young Island Lord of Heaven Accordance Island, as well as a Nine Star Genius. He also comes from the same Immortal Domain as me, Luo Ling Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji nodded towards Shen Muqing, indicating his acknowledgement. This Shen Muqing really knew what''s up; she was an incredibly observant person. When the surrounding people saw Shen Muqing sit at the Eight Star Genius''s seat, they were astonished once more. Many of them recognised Shen Muqing, because Shen Muqing was an amiable person who would smile and befriend anyone, not a person that would intentionally form enemies. Supposedly, such a person wouldn''t sit at a seat which does not belong to her. There was originally some conversations here, but because of Mo Wuji, this person of unknown origins, the crowd suddenly hushed their discussions. A majority of the people did not want to be nosy, and this matter wasn''t even related to them, so they chose to close their eyes and meditate. As Mo Wuji sat in front of the window, and saw the flow of people below him, he felt a little emotional. Even though he knew that his cultivation was very fast, he knew that he was still far from being able to go back to Earth. Even if he managed to go back to Earth someday, times would have passed, and he wouldn¡¯t recognise anyone or anything there. As for the matter of him being plotted against by his lover, Mo Wuji could only smile emotionlessly. So what if you obtained what you want through that scheme? In the face of time, everyone would turn to dust, without exception. At least, that was the case back on Earth. He only had one regret: Shuyin. Whether Dou Hualong¡¯s words were true or not, he was definitely going to make a trip to the Underworld and the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. "This seat is mine. Move away." A woman¡¯s voice interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s thoughts. Mo Wuji turned to see a woman with a head full of white hair. His heart instantly burst with killing intent; he recognised this woman. She was the one that chased him for several months in space, forcing him to that space canyon, and eventually Half Immortal Domain. If he wasn¡¯t capable, he would have perished back in the Immortal Chasm. The white-haired woman didn¡¯t recognise Mo Wuji at first glance, but the moment she felt Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent, she immediately knew that it was him. Even though she guessed that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation had yet to reach the Xuan Immortal Stage, she had a premonition that she was no longer a match for Mo Wuji. Her prediction actually became reality. Even though she urgently wanted to ask Mo Wuji about the Universal Peak Token, she really didn¡¯t dare to do so. "I allowed her to sit there. If you¡¯re angry, then come at me." The moment Mo Wuji said that sentence calmly, he waved his hand and the grey saber on his back appeared in his palm. He could be patient with other people, but against this woman who chased him for months, he really didn¡¯t have the tolerance. The surrounding people instantly became spirited. Previously, because Huan Xiuran decided to take a step back, there wasn¡¯t a battle. But now, a woman with an even fiery temper than Huan Xiuran had arrived; there was definitely going to be a fight. Everyone recognised this white-haired woman, she¡¯s from the most mysterious Immortal Domain, Gods Immortal Domain, and the Eight Star Genius of the Immortal God Sect, Nai He. Don¡¯t underestimate her because she was only an Eight Star Genius; she didn¡¯t even put Nine Star Geniuses in her eyes. And because the Gods Immortal Domain was so secretive, no one was willing to offend her. By the side, Huan Xiuran also became very spirited; he wanted to see Mo Wuji battle with Nai He. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t make a move, Nai He could feel his killing intent surging towards her like raging waves. Nai He¡¯s heart jolted, this person had really become powerful, from the looks of it, she wasn¡¯t able to deal with him. She could dare confirm that if she really dared to engage in battle with him, he would really kill her. Moreover, she was already familiar with Mo Wuji¡¯s cunning and slyness; this person was too dangerous. Taking in a deep breath, Nai He said calmly, "This is the Transfer Tower to the Broken World. I¡¯m not going to lower myself because of you." With that, she took the initiative to find another seat. When Mo Wuji saw that the other party didn¡¯t make a move against him, he could only keep his magic treasure. He was not going to initiate a battle. After all, he was an esteemed elder. Even if he wanted to fight, he would need a reason. It would be unreasonable for him to simply start a battle here. He never expected that this woman would actually choose to retreat; this left him slightly disappointed. Mo Wuji was disappointed; Ao Tiancheng was also disappointed. "Haha, Brother Mo, you¡¯re indeed earlier than me." Just as Mo Wuji kept his saber, Cha Kai walked in. Why would Cha Kai know Mo Wuji? Shen Muqing knew the reason for that. But what left Shen Muqing shocked was that Nai He actually retreated. That woman, Nai He, was incomparably proud. She would not cower even in front of Nine Star Geniuses, but she actually did so because of Mo Wuji. However, Shen Muqing did not regret that she didn¡¯t investigate on Mo Wuji¡¯s origins. She knew that if she started investigating on Mo Wuji, she would definitely find some loose threads. But if Mo Wuji were to know that she was investigating him, Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of her would worsen. She had already missed out on forming good relations with him once, she was not going to miss it a second time. Murong Xiangyu started to feel that something was amiss; it seemed like Huan Xiuran didn¡¯t step back because of her. But at this time, she was also unable to ask Mo Wuji exactly what was the reason. A few days passed, the number of people joining became lesser and lesser. The third floor of the Transfer Tower was basically filled. Mo Wuji, who had always had his eyes closed, got awakened by a hum of melodic music. He saw a faint golden light shine downwards and landed within the room. Mo Wuji was proficient with arrays; he immediately knew that this light contained the dao energy of transfers. Seeing that the others didn¡¯t move, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t do anything as well. A whole incense¡¯s time passed and jade tokens appeared, floating in front of everyone. There was also a jade token in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and grabbed the jade token; the number ¡®3¡¯ was engraved on the token. At this moment, a loud voice resounded, "Following the order of the jade token number, walk into the transfer array." Chapter 521: I Disagree Chapter 521: I Disagree Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The number in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand was 3; he was the third to walk into the transfer array. When the transfer array was full, the faint gold light started rotating, the space around them started to become a blur. After some unknown time, Mo Wuji felt the ground beneath him; he knew that they have arrived. Mo Wuji swept his spiritual will outwards; he soon discovered that they were in a patch of wilderness, and the spiritual energy here was extremely rich. In front of him, space was corrugated; Mo Wuji tried to penetrate it with his spiritual will only to be blocked. From the looks of it, the third level of the Broken World should be behind these spatial corrugations. It was just that the third level hadn¡¯t opened yet. Soon, Mo Wuji discovered that the other cultivators that got transferred with him had a fixed position, and he was right at the front. This should be the good position that Gong Yi talked about, but Mo Wuji felt that this sort of advantage could be done without. Standing right at the front would allow him to enter earlier, at the very most. But since he¡¯s already here, in Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, there wasn¡¯t really much of a difference if he entered earlier or later. Days passed. Just when Mo Wuji was starting to feel bored, the space in front of him started to tremble violently. A series of rumbling sounds could be heard, and from within those spatial corrugations, tears suddenly appeared. The third level was going to open; even Mo Wuji was starting to get excited. "Boom Boom, Ka Ka!" The spatial corrugations suddenly ripped apart, and a hazy patch of space appeared in front of everyone. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to stand up, he felt a wave of rich energy flowing towards him. Even though he wasn¡¯t cultivating, he could actually feel his cultivation rising because of this energy. At this instant, Mo Wuji finally understood Gong Yi¡¯s words; so every time a level in the Broken World opens, there would be such benefits. There was no need to talk about how the Broken World was still inaccessible. Even if he could go in, Mo Wuji would still spend his time now cultivating. It wasn¡¯t just Mo Wuji; everyone else was also furiously cultivating. This sort of natural and primal energy was the most suitable for cultivation. Even those at the Great Circle of Xuan Immortal Stage were cultivating as long as they didn¡¯t trigger the Grand Yi Immortal Tribulation. At this instant, the importance of a good position was demonstrated. Mo Wuji was right at the front, so naturally, he obtained many benefits. Huan Xiuran¡¯s face turned gloomy; he knew that there would be benefits when the Broken World¡¯s level first opened. However, he never expected the third level¡¯s benefits to be multiple times better than the previous two levels. Even if he didn¡¯t cultivate, he could borrow this primal energy to consolidate and reinforce his power. At this instant, he really regretted, he should not have given that seat to Mo Wuji. Now, he was further back, and his benefits would be far lesser. Mo Wuji was previously at the late Golden Immortal Stage. Now, when he was enveloped by an energy that was multiple times better than that from the Immortal Training Pool, he was able to reach the peak of the Golden Immortal Stage in a short period of time. Just when Mo Wuji wanted to take another step further, that energy weakened. Mo Wuji stopped cultivating, the other cultivators stopped cultivating as well, and they all got up to charge into the space in front of them. Mo Wuji naturally didn¡¯t want to fall behind. He wasn¡¯t sure what lay in front of him, but just the energy when the level first opened was already able to bring him to the peak Golden Immortal Stage in a short time. Clearly, this Broken World was a great place. The moment he entered the third level, Mo Wuji could feel the energy that was unstained and protected from human activity. Low tiered immortal herbs seem to be everywhere; Mo Wuji could even occasionally find some Tier 3 and Tier 4 immortal herbs. This was really a good place; Mo Wuji took a deep breath. Then he did not hesitate to send these herbs (and even their roots) into his Undying World. Regardless of whether they were dead, he was going to make these immortal herbs his, and beautify his Undying World. A few cultivators brushed by Mo Wuji. When they saw Mo Wuji actually collect these trash herbs in the third level of the Broken World, they all shook their heads in disdain, then carried on swiftly. In their eyes, Mo Wuji was just an inexperienced fells. Mo Wuji did not care, after he arranged his immortal herbs, he picked a direction and swiftly moved in that direction. How vast was the Broken World¡¯s third level? Even though there were many cultivators here, they wouldn¡¯t be able to bring away all the good things here. Mo Wuji wanted to start a pill house, so whenever he saw an immortal herb, he would not let it go. He collected all of them into his Undying World. The immortal herbs here, even the lowest tiered ones, were much more valuable than the ones from the Hundred Flowers Manor. Even though there were many low tiered immortal herbs at the Hundred Flowers Manor, most of them were human-cultivated. However, the immortal herbs here were all natural and were growing without any signs of human interference. If the two different kinds of herbs were used to concoct the same unique grade pill, the effects of the natural one would still be a level higher. Half a months passed; the immortal herb pile in Mo Wuji¡¯s Undying World was now like a mountain. What left him feeling slightly disappointed was that among the huge pile of herbs in his Undying World, the best one was only Tier 6, and most of them were below Tier 6. As for Tier 7 immortal pills, he didn¡¯t even have a single one. Regardless, with so many immortal herbs, he was sure that he would be able to advance to the Tier 6 Pill King level. In the Pill Dao, he wasn¡¯t lacking insights, but the immortal herbs for his incessant practice. On this day, Mo Wuji was digging up some Tier 5 Blue Radish Flowers. At this moment, multiple figures sped through his spiritual will. Mo Wuji did not really care; there were many people that entered the third level, and he would occasionally meet many people. Even though his cultivation was very low, but because of what happened back at the Transfer Tower, many people would avoid him when they met. But when he saw a second and a third group of people heading towards the same direction, Mo Wuji felt that something was wrong. There must definitely be some treasure, otherwise, everyone wouldn¡¯t rush to the same direction. He was a lone ranger that didn¡¯t form any teams when he entered, so he didn¡¯t receive any special news. Regardless of what the treasure was, since it could draw so many cultivators over, Mo Wuji immediately gave up on his slow digging of immortal herbs. There were plenty of immortal herbs here, and he would have plenty of time digging them in the future. But there weren¡¯t many true treasures, the moment he missed them, it would truly be a waste. Mo Wuji immediately brought out his flying ship and hurriedly chased after them. As for his flying shuttle, that was a Grade 7 immortal equipment; it was used for escaping, so he really wouldn¡¯t use it here. Two hours later, Mo Wuji stopped. There was already a crowd of people here, this crowd was surrounding a heap of earth. Mo Wuji¡¯s attainments in the Array Dao had already reached the Grade 3 Array Master level; the moment he saw this heap of earth, he knew that this was a natural inhibition array. Moreover, this array was extremely hidden from view; he was sure that if he had unwarily passed by, he really wouldn¡¯t have noticed it. From the looks of it, some of these people here were array experts, to actually discover this natural inhibition array. Mo Wuji kept his flying ship and walked into the crowd. The moment he walked in front of this earth heap, he understood what was going on. This heap of earth was radiating an intense metal-type energy. Even cultivators that didn¡¯t know about arrays could tell that there was a metal-type treasure behind this heap of earth. On the surface of the earth, there were signs of attacks; clearly, some of the cultivators had tried forcing through it. However, this natural array was very strong and did not break. Just when Mo Wuji was observing the array, a black-faced man of average height stood forward. He said to the hundred over cultivators here, "I am Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Bai Chitian. Behind this natural array, there must definitely be a metal-type treasure. Moreover, I suspect that there might even be a pocket dimension which contains all sorts of valuable treasures. We have tried forcing our way through this array before, but we aren¡¯t able to get through it immediately. I am slightly proficient when it comes to arrays, so I¡¯m willing to lead the attack on this natural array." A girl stood forward and said, "Senior Brother Bai is Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s top genius. We will naturally believe your words." After this girl, another person stood up and said, "I agree. We have tried attacking this array for one day and one night, but there wasn¡¯t even a single reaction. Clearly, this array is not something that can be forced open by something of our level. Brother Bai is proficient in arrays, so it would be best for him to lead us." Mo Wuji seemed to feel something familiar within that metal-type energy. However, he wasn¡¯t able to immediately recall exactly what it was. Bai Chitian spoke out once more, "Many thanks for everyone¡¯s appreciation. I have confidence that we will be able to break this array within 6 hours. However, I have a tiny request: that is after this array is broken, please allow me the first pick. Of course, I would only pick one item. What does everyone think?" "Agreed!" "Agreed!" "No objections...." Bai Chitian¡¯s words immediately incited the crowd¡¯s consent. Even though there were many genius cultivators among them, the number that was proficient in arrays was truly too few. Now that the third level of the Broken World had just been opened, there were many treasures left to be discovered. Thus, it would be best if they didn¡¯t waste any time here. But if they were to just forget about it, they would feel too unwilling. Thus, naturally, no one would disagree with Bai Chitian¡¯s suggestion. Mo Wuji, however, didn¡¯t have any opinions. If he was the one leading, he could also destroy the array; he didn¡¯t even need 6 hours. Eh, wait, Mo Wuji suddenly recalled what might be the thing inside the array. "Since that¡¯s the case, then let¡¯s split the groups¡­" Before Bai Chitian could finish, he was interrupted. "I disagree." These words were too sudden and jarring. The moment they were uttered, everyone¡¯s eyes landed on Mo Wuji. Everyone recognised Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was a person that Nai He feared, and someone that even Huan Xiuran didn¡¯t want to offend. Even though none of them showed it on the surface, they have all been paying attention on Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji said that he disagreed, the whole crowd turned silent. Chapter 522: Metal-Type Energy Chapter 522: Metal-Type Energy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations If it was another Golden Immortal that dared to say such words, someone would have already killed him. But towards this mysterious Mo Wuji, really no one dared to do anything. Bai Chitain¡¯s face turned cold; he also knew Mo Wuji. He really never expected that Mo Wuji would spoil his show at the time like this. Even though Mo Wuji was mysterious, he, as a late stage Xuan Immortal, didn¡¯t fear this Golden Immortal. "Immortal Friend Mo, even though I don¡¯t know your background, I can guess that your background isn¡¯t ordinary. This place was discovered by everyone. Now we want to break this place apart to get the treasure from within. You¡¯re considered one of the last few to arrive, so what rights do you have to stop us from getting the treasure?" Bai Chitian¡¯s voice was icy cold, it even contained a hint of killing intent. Mo Wuji sneered, this fella was really devious, with just a simple sentence, this fella was able to create dissatisfaction towards him. If someone were to initiate an attack on him now, he might actually be encircled and killed. Sometimes, when people were in numbers, they might not place some mysterious enigmas in their eyes. Seeing the range of expressions on the surrounding cultivators¡¯ faces, Mo Wuji chuckled, "What an idiot, did I say that I was stopping everyone? And what do you mean when you said that I was among the last to arrive? There were many other cultivators that came later; I¡¯m not the only one. Are you saying that after the array is opened, these latecomers would get a smaller share?" After rebutting Bai Chitian, Mo Wuji raised his volume and said, "The reason why I disagree was because I have the means to break through this array in an even shorter time." Bai Chitian looked at Mo Wuji in disdain, "You know what array this is? Do you know that natural arrays usually don¡¯t have any traces or marks to take advantage of? All attacks on it would be converted to nothingness. A mere cultivator that has yet to reach the Xuan Immortal Stage actually dares to spout such nonsense about breaking the array." Mo Wuji calmly said, "Just now, I heard you say that you need 6 hours to break this array. That¡¯s such a long time, in that time, my dinner would have already gone cold. I only need 1 hour to break this array." "Is it true that Immortal Friend Mo only needs 1 hour to break this array?" A tall and bearded youth asked seriously. Mo Wuji glanced at this person and immediately knew that this was a fella was an exceptional talent. Just from the spiritual aura around this person, Mo Wuji could tell that this fella was at least a Seven Star Genius; he might even be an Eight Star Genius. "That¡¯s right. I¡¯m sure that I will be able to break this array within 1 hour," Mo Wuji said confidently. "Alright, as long as Immortal Friend Mo is able to break this array within 1 hour, I, Chen Hu, promise that after we enter, you would be the first to pick an item," The bearded man did not hesitate to promise. Mo Wuji had jumped out so suddenly. If not for an item, he wouldn¡¯t have done such a thing. Thus, Chen Hu was very straightforward to give Mo Wuji what he wanted. Bai Chitian¡¯s lips started twitching as he wanted to say some words. However, there was nothing that he could say. He required 6 hours to break the array while the other guy only needed 1; that was 6 times faster than him. In the third level of the Broken World, wasn¡¯t time the most valuable thing? Everyone knew that they had to properly make use of this time in order to find the true treasures. If they wasted this time, then others would have already found the treasures. Mo Wuji did not waste any time; he brought out some array flags and installed them around the perimeter of the heap of earth. He installed a total of 49 array flags. Thereafter, he waved his hand and said, "I have installed 49 array flags. Immortal friends here, have two people stand at each flag. The leftovers will stand beside me." Bai Chitian thought that Mo Wuji really knew of a way to solve this array. But now when he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s methods, he knew that he had been overthinking it. Mo Wuji was using a method of spreading the arrack force; it would be unheard of if it could actually break this array within an hour. Chen Hu said loudly, "Immortal friends, please form pairs of two and follow according to Immortal Friend Mo¡¯s instructions." He, himself, stood by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Mo Wuji did not mind. After waiting for the other people to get into position, he brought forward the sabre that was on his back and said, "Soon, I will lead the attack on the array¡¯s foundations. Those standing beside me will attack the same spot as me. When I say ¡®Break¡¯, the immortal friends standing at the 49 array flags will attack." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, the sabre in his hand formed a huge radiant blade which he cleaved downwards. Everyone present paid attention to Mo Wuji¡¯s sabre; even though everyone wanted to break the array, they also wanted to know exactly how strong Mo Wuji was. The radiant blade formed by Mo Wuji was as huge as 30 meters long. The sabre light swung downwards, looking as though it was tearing space into half. Even though the power of Mo Wuji¡¯s sabre was very powerful, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This was because the power behind that attack really showed that Mo Wuji was indeed in the Golden Immortal Stage. Even though he was stronger than an average Golden Immortal, he was not a level where he could match with Xuan Immortals. After Mo Wuji started attacking, those beside Mo Wuji took out their magic treasures and started striking at the same spot. Compared to the Xuan Immortals, Mo Wuji¡¯s attack power was indeed weaker. However, Mo Wuji did not seem to care as he continued to swing his sabre downwards. He wasn¡¯t even using his full strength; with so many people attacking this array, would he even need to use his full strength? At the most, he had only displayed 20% of his power. After all, there were experts all around looking at him, he was not going to show all his cards. Moreover, he had already offended that Bai Chitian. After attacking for a whole two to three minutes, Mo Wuji suddenly shouted, "Break!" The other cultivators had been waiting for this command of Mo Wuji¡¯s; the moment Mo Wuji uttered that word, shining beams of magical equipment light simultaneously attacked the different spots on the array. With that single combined attack, the crowd started to hear a series of rumbling sounds. Everyone was incomparably delighted. But at this moment, Mo Wuji shouted even louder, "Attack with more strength!" "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Another hundred radiant lights struck down on the array. "Crack!" A loud tearing noise resounded. The original heap of earth had now disappeared. In its place, a huge mountain gate appeared. "Haha, Immortal Friend Mo truly wasn¡¯t spouting nonsense. There¡¯s no need to talk about an hour, that wasn¡¯t even half an incense¡¯s time, and the array had already been broken. Come, let¡¯s go inside." Chen Hu chuckled and led the way inside together with Mo Wuji. Behind the mountain gate, was a huge hall. At the centre of the hall, there was a stone table and there were various kinds of things on the stone table. Mo Wuji was not surprised; there must have been a problem with the array, which was way there was that metal-type energy. Otherwise, even if he understood this natural array, he wouldn¡¯t have broken it in such a short time. Bai Chitian swiftly charged to the front; he even overtook Mo Wuji and Chen Hu. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t chase after him. His spiritual will had already scanned the stone table and he knew that there were seals on the things on the table. Even if Bai Chitian reached before him, Bai Chitian wouldn¡¯t be able to immediately snatch anything away. Chen Hu said indifferently, "A dishonest man will never be welcomed. Immortal Friend Mo, you can take the first pick." Bai Chitian also noticed that the things on the stone table were sealed. Even though he could not wait to break the seal and take one of the jade boxes away, he had to wait for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji really had a good impression of Chen Hu¡¯s magnanimity. Even though others might disagree, Mo Wuji was still going to take the jade box. But since Chen Hu had already explained it, Mo Wuji naturally wouldn¡¯t hesitate. He took a step forward and formed a few hand seals, the seals on the stone table easily broke apart. Mo Wuji easily sent that jade box into his storage ring. The moment that jade box disappeared, the surrounding metal-type energy disappeared. When Bai Chitian saw Mo Wuji casually take that jade box away, his eyes turned red. If not for the fact that he knew he couldn¡¯t make a move here, he would have already attacked Mo Wuji. "There are only three items here. Besides the jade box that Immortal Friend Mo had already taken, there¡¯s still a technique manual and a pagoda-shaped magic treasure. We have more than a hundred people here, how are we going to split it?" Even though there were two other things on the table, no one made a move. Chen Hu¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything. Then, Bai Chitian said, "If there were many things on the table, then it wouldn¡¯t matter if Immortal Friend Mo took an item first. But now that there are only three items, I suggest that Immortal Friend Mo takes out your item then we bid on all the items here. Thereafter, Immortal Friend Mo can take a larger percentage of the immortal crystals. How about that?" Mo Wuji gave Bai Chitian a single, cold glance as he said emotionlessly, "Bullsh*t." "Hmm, other people might be scared of you, but I, Bai Chitian, have nothing to fear." Bai Chitian had been waiting to cause trouble for Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji had cursed him, how could he hold back? Mo Wuji also wanted to get rid of this detestable fella. However, he knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything much to Bai Chitian at a place like this. He directly ignored Bai Chitian, but clasped his fists to the crowd and said, "There¡¯s definitely more than these three items here. Because behind this place, there¡¯s still another seal." The moment Mo Wuji finished, he took a step forward and swung his sabre. "Boom!" Another loud rumble resounded. A garden suddenly appeared at the back of the hall. There was only a single fruit tree in the centre of the garden. The moment Mo Wuji slashed through that array, that rich and fragrant immortal energy wafted over. "It¡¯s the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit!" Many voices cried out at the same time. Almost everyone recognised that the tree in front of them was a Draining Immortal King Fruit Tree. Moreover, that tree had more than a hundred fruits. "Haha, it¡¯s really the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit." Chen Hu chortled, clearly very satisfied with this outcome. The Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit was a Tier 7 Immortal Fruit. This fruit could be eaten directly or used to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill. The Draining Immortal King Pill was a true Tier 7 immortal pill; such a thing could not simply be purchased by money. This was because this pill¡¯s function was to help Grand Luo Immortals to gain enlightenment on the Immortal Dao and step into the Immortal King Stage. The Immortal King was an expert that possessed a dao seat. No matter how strong a Grand Luo Immortal was, it couldn¡¯t compare with this qualitative difference with an Immortal King. "According to my estimates, those Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits are at least 100,000 years old," A thin Xuan Immortal said emotionally. The older a Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, the more valuable it was. A 100,000-year-old Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit was simply something many could only wish for. "Immortal Friend Mo, you are the one that discovered this garden, and you are the one that broke it open. You suggest how it should be distributed," Chen Hu said as he turned towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji clasped his fist to the crowd and said, "Various immortal friends, there are a total of 131 Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits on that tree while there are 122 of us here. I suggest that everyone gets one Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit first." Chapter 523: Star Geniuses, So What? Chapter 523: Star Geniuses, So What? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Then what about the remaining Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits?" Someone asked. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "I hope that the remaining Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits be given to me¡­" The moment Mo Wuji said those words, Chen Hu, who had a favourable impression of him, now had an unpleasant expression on his face. Previously, he suggested that Mo Wuji be the one to suggest the distribution of the fruits was because he wanted to give Mo Wuji some face. If Mo Wuji really distributed the fruits in such a matter, it was clearly too selfish. Even though they might even agree to give them all to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji shouldn¡¯t be the one to say it. Moreover, everyone here wasn¡¯t related to Mo Wuji, so why would they do such a thing? "Keke, Dao Friend Mo, you might as well say that everything belongs to you, and that we were working for free. Wouldn¡¯t that sound better?" Bai Chitian grabbed this opportunity to shoot a snide remark. "Immortal Friend Mo, I believe that you should at least explain why you want the remaining Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits." A youth brimming with spirituality walked forward and said solemnly. Mo Wuji did not recognise this person but he was sure that this person was a Star-grade genius, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have such a strong spiritual aura. "Various immortal friends, I believe many of you want to know my background." The moment Mo Wuji said that, he took out a jade token which floated in front of him, "Everyone only needs to look at my identity jade token and you would know. I am an elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch, and at the same time, I have relations to Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Tier 7 Pill Emperor Nong Yong¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s Elder Identity Token, everyone on the scene exhaled a breath of cold air. Such a young branch elder was simply blowing their minds. For Mo Wuji to be a branch elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch at such a young age, many of the people started to believe that it was true that Mo Wuji had a close relationship with Pill Emperor Nong Yong. Otherwise, how would it be possible? At this point, everyone understood why Huan Xiuran didn¡¯t dare make a move against Mo Wuji, even Nai He didn¡¯t dare do anything. Being a branch elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, and having close relations with Pill Emperor Nong Yong, that was indeed incredible. No one suspected that Mo Wuji¡¯s identity token was fake as only such an identity would explain what happened previously. Seeing that everyone was stunned by himself, Mo Wuji extended his hand to grab his jade token as he said, "I know that everyone here is a disciple of a big sect, and it is easy for you to get pills. But I believe that everyone would not be able to get access to all sorts of pills, such as the Draining Immortal King Pill¡­" The moment they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Chen Hu and the other cultivators seemed to understand something. They stared at Mo Wuji in pleasant surprise and asked, "Elder Mo is saying¡­" Mo Wuji confirmed their words, "Everyone¡¯s guess is right. What I¡¯m saying is, if everyone gives these Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits to me, I will request Pill Emperor Nong Yong to concoct a batch of Draining Immortal King Pill, free of charge. Of course, this comes with a condition, I¡¯m not in charge of the secondary immortal herbs, and I would only give 4 Draining Immortal King Pills in every batch." Requesting Pill Emperor Nong Yong to concoct the pills was a lie. Mo Wuji only met Pill Emperor Nong Yong once, and it wasn¡¯t even Nong Yong himself, but a mere sliver of Nong Yong¡¯s immortal will. The reason why Mo Wuji dared to say these words was because he had confidence that he could advance to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor in a short period of time. If this was before he entered the Broken World, he wouldn¡¯t dare to have such thoughts. But after entering the Broken World, he felt like there wasn¡¯t any difficulty to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. With his Pill Dao and such large amounts of immortal herbs, it would be weird if he couldn¡¯t become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. One must know that he was a Tier 5 Pill King now. "Is Immortal Friend Mo¡¯s words true?" Even Chen Hu was slightly emotional as he asked that question. The Draining Immortal King Pill was a Tier 7 pill that helped Grand Luo Immortals advance into the Immortal King Stage. It was something that only Pill Emperors could concoct. In the entire Immortal World, the number of Tier 7 Pill Emperors could be counted in one¡¯s fingers. With such few Pill Emperors, why would they help some random person concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill? To put things in a different perspective, even for Star-grade geniuses, they would require their sects to help them request for the Pill Emperor¡¯s help. And when that happens, the sect wouldn¡¯t be merely be paying with a certain percentage of the batch of pills, but something much more. When Mo Wuji said that only 4 Draining Immortal King Pills would be given per batch, it was equivalent to saying that the service was free of charge. One must know that a full batch of Draining Immortal King Pills only had 6 pills. This would mean that the Pill Emperor would only keep 2 pills for himself, what more could they ask for? For a usual pill request, they would have to give up 50% of the pills and even pay remunerations of immortal crystals or immortal herbs. And those pill requests weren¡¯t for pills at the level of the Draining Immortal King Pill. "I, Mo Wuji, am a true Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder, so how could I lie to you guys about this. Moreover, I would soon be opening a store in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, so immortal friends can come visit me at any time. Of course, if everyone is not willing, then ignore my previous words. If everyone would prefer to cut the remaining Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit into pieces and split them, I wouldn¡¯t object," Mo Wuji said in a direct and straightforward matter. "Elder Mo, what if I don¡¯t want a Draining Immortal King Pill?" An ordinary looking Xuan Immortal clasped his fists and said. Mo Wuji immediately came to a realization; it was true that the Draining Immortal King Pill was valuable, but it was truly too distant for the cultivators here. The Draining Immortal King Pill was for cultivators to advance to the Immortal King Stage, while most of the people here were merely Xuan Immortals. Perhaps to everyone here, Grand Yi True Pills were much more valuable. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji smiled indifferently, "For immortal friends that don¡¯t want the Draining Immortal King Pill, I am willing to concoct for you two batch of pills free of charge. Whether you want Grand Yi True Pills or Grand Luo Immortal Pills, there¡¯s no problem. Because the full batch of these two pills contains 12 pills, I can give you 8 pills." "Alright, I, Min Zihao, agree," The cultivator that previously asked the question did not hesitate to agree. The Grand Yi True Pill was a pill to advance to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, while the Grand Luo Immortal Pill was a Tier 6 immortal pill that could help Grand Zhi Immortals advance into the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Even though their values could not be compared to the Draining Immortal King Pill, they were both extremely sought after. "I also agree!" "Agreed!" ¡­ Many of the cultivators expressed their consent. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, it was expected that these cultivators would agree. If it was him, he would have agreed as well. For an average cultivator, what could they do with a Draining Immortal King Pill? And what more the bits they got from splitting the leftover fruits? Mo Wuji had promised to help transform these fruits into pills, only idiots wouldn¡¯t agree. Those that missed out on this opportunity would have to go the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance on their own, and that wouldn¡¯t be easy. Chen Hu also clasped his fists and said, "I also agree." Seeing everyone agree, Bai Chitian didn¡¯t dare to spout any nonsense. Chen Hu bluntly said, "Immortal Friend Mo, why don¡¯t you discuss with Pill Emperor Nong Yong. When the time to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill comes, perhaps he could give us 5 pills. In return, this pagoda treasure can also be given to Immortal Friend Mo. As for the technique jade letter, everyone would record it down but the original one would be given to Immortal Friend Mo." Chen Hu was also rather helpless; after all, everyone could record down the technique manual, but only one person could keep the magic treasure. Mo Wuji said apologetically, "I can¡¯t really help with that. After all, if I were to ask Senior Nong Yong for help and to only give him 1 pill per batch¡­ Even I don¡¯t feel comfortable asking him for that. However, if immortal friends here purchase pills from my pill house, I can give a 90% discount. Oh right, my pill house is called Tian Ji Pill Court." The Draining Immortal King Pill was a strategic pill. Mo Wuji wanted to establish the Tian Ji Sect, and every Draining Immortal King Pill was valuable. How could he let go of more than a hundred pills just for a pagoda magic treasure? He was definitely not going to take that deal. "Since that¡¯s the case, then we¡¯ll follow according to Dao Friend Mo¡¯s words. Dao Friend Mo, you can go pick the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits, while we make records of the jade letter." Chen Hu was very straightforward in the way he did things. After saying all that, he had already grabbed the jade letter from the stone table and had it float in mid ait. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t any seals on the jade letter itself, so everyone¡¯s spiritual will was able to read the contents within. This was actually a jade letter on arrays. Once many people saw this jade letter, they immediately lost interest. Even though they did continue to record it down, it was unknown whether they even understood it. At this instant, Mo Wuji picked 121 fruits from the tree. At the same time, he placed all of them in a jade box each and sent these jade boxes into everyone¡¯s hands. Thereafter, he dug up the entire Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit Tree and sent it into his Undying World. The cultivation of everyone here was roughly the same as his; no one was overwhelmingly more powerful than him. Thus, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t worried that people would discover his Undying World. Chen Hu passed the jade letter and the pagoda treasure to Mo Wuji, then he said, "Immortal Friend Mo, how are we going to find you in the future for the pills?" Mo Wuji had already thought about this. He retrieved some jade stones and casually carved more than a hundred jade tokens. Then he gave each cultivator a jade token and said, "These jade tokens contain my imprints. When the time comes, immortal friends can find me at my Tian Ji Pill Court or at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. There is one point that I need to make clear, even if you¡¯re looking to concoct pills, it must be at least two years later." "That¡¯s of course." Even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t explain, many of the cultivators understood. It was not easy for them to get to the Broken World, so who would be so foolish as to return back so quickly? The crowd dispersed in all directions. Even though the one that gained the most was Mo Wuji, the others weren¡¯t disappointed. Not only did they obtain the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, they also obtained the promise of a Pill Emperor¡¯s pill request. Mo Wuji was rather satisfied. Even though he had to help concoct more than a hundred batches of pills, it could not be compared to the rewards that he gained. Moreover, in his Pill Dao, he had to continuously practise in order to improve. Mo Wuji did not travel for more than a hundred miles before he felt someone following him. Indeed, when Mo Wuji stopped, Bai Chitian¡¯s figure appeared in front of him. He directly blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s path as he said calmly, "Elder Mo, I know that your background isn¡¯t ordinary. I¡¯m indeed unable to do anything to an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. However, the jade box that you took is useful to me. I hope that you can give it to me, and I will give you whatever compensation you need. I am even willing to give you the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit." Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. Since some time ago, he had already felt Bai Chitian¡¯s killing intent. This Bai Chitian was in the late Xuan Immortal Stage, while he was a the peak of the Golden Immortal Stage, just one step away from being a Xuan Immortal. If they really had to fight, he had no need to fear this Bai Chitian. Star-grade genius? So what? He did not give a sh*t about them. Chapter 524: The Dangerous Bai Chitian Chapter 524: The Dangerous Bai Chitian Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before Mo Wuji could say anything, he could feel killing intent creeping up on him. Even though Bai Chitian did not move a single inch, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to flash and teleport away from his previous location. Teleportation was one of his hidden cards. At this instant, they had not even battled but Mo Wuji had already used it. This was because of his sensitivity to danger. At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji teleported away, a grey light directly slashed Mo Wuji''s disappearing shadow in half. Mo Wuji''s heart jolted. He had only just discovered a peculiar looking demonic beast in the distance. This demonic beast''s head was triangular in shape like a snake. Its most peculiar characteristic was that at the top of its head, there was a blade crown that was several feet long. Mo Wuji was sure that he had not seen wrongly, it was a blade crown. As he sent his spiritual will towards that blade crown, he could feel an icy cold killing intent and baleful aura. The demonic beast was roughly 1.5 meters long. Its entire body was grey. Besides its triangle-shaped head and blade crown, it actually only had 3 limbs. What a big fella; it just tried to ambush him but he only detected it at the very last moment. If not for his teleportation, even if he detected it, he would still have been struck by this demonic beast. This reminded Mo Wuji of his Shuai Guo, but this thing seemed to be much more powerful than Shuai Guo. "Eh?" Seeing Mo Wuji dodge his Blade Crown Beast''s ambush, Bai Chitian got a shock. Just when he wanted to use his magic treasure to attack Mo Wuji, he felt a sharp sabre light cleave towards him. This sabre light was sharp and oppressive to the extreme degree and it seemed to lock in the surrounding space of a radius of 300 meters. At this moment, a sort of suffocating pressure of death loomed over Bai Chitian. How was this sabre light? This was simply a space restricting sabre energy. With just this sabre, Bai Chitian knew that he had been duped by Mo Wuji. When they were attacking the array, Mo Wuji probably didn''t even use 30% of his power. Mo Wuji''s power was not much worse than his; in fact, it was in no way lower than his, and Mo Wuji''s killing intent was even stronger. He originally thought that killing Mo Wuji would have been a very simple affair. Only at this instant did Bai Chitian know how much of an idiot he had been. If he knew that Mo Wuji was so strong, even if he wanted to get rid of Mo Wuji, he would not have come alone. And now, he had no means of retreat. Bai Chitian furiously formed his domain; he wanted to use his domain to suppress Mo Wuji then attack with his most powerful sacred art. At the same time, Bai Chitian''s Blade Crown Beast jumped towards the two of them. In Bai Chitian''s perspective, even if Mo Wuji''s immortal elemental energy was very condensed, Mo Wuji''s domain would still be weaker than his Xuan Immortal Domain. As long as he could suppress Mo Wuji''s crazy power, he could rethink a new strategy. The two¡¯s domains clashed. Immediately, Bai Chitian felt as though his domain had entered a grinding space. A whirlpool-like power swept over, causing his domain to slowly be grinded and devoured. His Xuan Immortal Domain was actually weaker than Mo Wuji''s Golden Immortal Domain, how was that possible? He was an esteemed peak Star-grade genius¡­. "Boom!" The sabre light suddenly retracted and crashed against Bai Chitian¡¯s Fine Red Copper Pole, exploding forth a boundless amount of immortal elemental energy. Bai Chitian felt as though a huge torrential wave of immortal elemental energy flooding towards him. He felt like he was bursting with immortal elemental energy and he hurriedly grabbed a talisman. Immediately, he saw that Mo Wuji was like a kite whose string was snapped, as Mo Wuji got sent flying. The panicked Bai Chitian''s heart loosened, so it seems like Mo Wuji¡¯s attack looked impressive but it was useless. "Pff!" A gush of blood shot outwards as Mo Wuji landed on the ground. "You!" Bai Chitian stared at Mo Wuji with red eyes. He finally understood why Mo Wuji¡¯s attack seemed useless. So it turned out to be intentional; just now, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t aiming for him, but his Blade Crown Beast. At this instant, the Blade Crown Beast was lying on the floor and breath no longer runs through its lungs. This Blade Crown Beast was Bai Chitian''s cherished beast; it had worked so hard for him but now it casually been killed by Mo Wuji. How could Bai Chitian not be enraged? After Mo Wuji''s grey blade got stained with blood, its killing intent seemed to become richer. To Mo Wuji, this Blade Crown Beast must be killed. If he wasn''t sensitive to danger and had teleportation, he would have already been ambushed by this Blade Crown Beast. Even if he didn''t die from the Blade Crown Beast''s attack, he would have still fallen into Bai Chitian''s hands. How could Mo Wuji simply let go of such hatred? Moreover, he was battling with Bai Chitian, if this Blade Crown Beast was alive by the side, it would definitely be a huge threat. Thus, since the beginning, he wanted to make use of his domain to suppress the Blade Crown Beast, then use Spatial Imprisonment on it, and finally finish it off with his sabre. "Go to hell!" The enraged Bai Chitian furiously threw out the talisman in his hand; his Fine Red Copper Pole also conjured thousands of pole shadows which surrounded Mo Wuji. The pole shadows formed two illusory dragons on Mo Wuji''s left and right, sealing Mo Wuji''s space and his path of retreat. If Mo Wuji were to retreat, he would be falling into Bai Chitian''s pockets. Now that the Blade Crown Beast had been killed, Bai Chitian''s heart was filled with incomparable rage. But Bai Chitian wasn''t one who would become an idiot of anger, he still knew that Mo Wuji was impressive, otherwise, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have been able to kill his Blade Crown Beast with a single sabre. Even though his Blade Crown Beast''s class wasn''t high, it was illusory and moves around without a trace; it was a demonic beast that was extremely hard to capture. While the two of them were facing off, Mo Wuji was still able to kill his Blade Crown Beast. Even if it was a surprise attack, it still wasn¡¯t simple. At this instant, he had treated Mo Wuji as a formidable foe. Mo Wuji had never thought of retreating. Not only didn¡¯t he escape, he moved towards Bai Chitian and punched forth. Mo Wuji¡¯s punch looked very casual, but it was far from simple. Searing hot energy burnt a path within the space; this fist was his one of his sacred art, the Domain Crushing Fist. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Domain Crushing Fist crashed against Bai Chitian¡¯s two illusory pole shadow dragons. The resounding sound of an explosion reverberated through the air; it was like multiple bombs had detonated at the exact same spot. The explosion even caused ripples to form within the space itself; it was incomparably destructive. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Crushing Fist, Bai Chitian¡¯s Fine Red Copper Pole released a series of tremors as it was stopped in mid-air. Within the explosion, Mo Wuji did not care about his own safety as he threw an enigmatic wheel towards Bai Chitian. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s killer move, the Wheel of Life and Death. The moment the Wheel of Life and Death appeared, one would die while the other survives. There was no way back. At this instant, the entire space dimmed. Bai Chitan suddenly wanted to calm down and enjoy the scenery, he really wanted to stop and reminisce his past. He saw a beautiful wheel; within the wheel, there were all sorts of colours. These colours were his past glories and memories. At the same time, he saw a grey colour on this beautiful wheel. The grey colour seemed to be devoid of life force. This was a sacred art. Just as Bai Chitian thought of this, he felt that grey colour imprint itself on his chest. An overwhelming sense of death flooded towards him. Bai Chitian¡¯s eyes were filled with fear. His heart was filled with regret: he regretted coming here to block Mo Wuji; he regretted that he used that death talisman on Mo Wuji. If he did not spend time igniting that death talisman, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have fallen into this situation. Even if he was facing Mo Wuji¡¯s sure-kill wheel, he would have been able to avoid it. But now, it was too late. The talisman that he threw out also couldn¡¯t be retrieved. At the end of the day, Bai Chitian was still Vast Ocean Immortal Sect¡¯s Star-grade genius. Now that he knew he was going to die, he actually became calm. His expression turned indifferent as he stared coldly at Mo Wuji. So what if he was killed? He was going to drag Mo Wuji down with him. The moment Mo Wuji used the Wheel of Life and Death, he felt a sense of weakness through his entire body. Almost at this instant, he felt another threat of death. "Pff!" Before Mo Wuji could escape, he felt an icy cold energy enter his body. Even though his body looked fine on the surface, Mo Wuji could feel his insides tearing apart. At this next instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart tightened. That unstoppable icy cold energy was spreading throughout his body, destroying Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians in its path of wreckage. Every time it severed a meridian, its power seemed to rise by multiple times. No good, he had been plotted against; it should have been that talisman. At this instant, Mo Wuji must be an idiot if he didn¡¯t know that he had been plotted against. Mo Wuji was also sure that if he didn¡¯t find a place to heal himself immediately, and if his elemental storage channel, spirit storage channel, or even his vitality channel gets damaged, then he would follow the same fate as this Bai Chitian in front of him. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji grabbed Bai Chitian¡¯s ring; his figure flashed and he disappeared. Half an incense¡¯s time later, Mo Wuji had to stop. The damage to his meridians was getting worse and worse. If not for his elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel, he wouldn¡¯t have even escaped to this point. Even though he knew it was dangerous, Mo Wuji could only penetrate into the ground and enter his Undying World. His vitality channel continuously replenished his depleting life force. At the same time, his spirit storage channel and his elemental storage channels circulated furiously, curbing the expansion of the cold energy, and mending his broken meridians. ¡­ Not long after Mo Wuji left, a black-robed youth appeared at where he and Bai Chitian just battled. This black robed youth¡¯s eyes were rather bewitching; it seemed to gleam with a sort of magnetic light. His gaze landed on the Blade Crown Beast that was killed with a single slash of Mo Wuji¡¯s, then it moved towards the dead and lifeless Bai Chitian. After some time, this black-robed youth muttered to himself, "He¡¯s indeed very strong. A Golden Immortal was ambushed by a Blade Crown Beast, then faced the late stage Xuan Immortal Bai Chitian in a head-on battle, and he was able to kill both Bai Chitian and the Blade Crown Beast. He was even able to escape. If not for your heavy injuries, then even the corpses would have been cremated. Since that¡¯s the case, let me help you once. But I hope that you don¡¯t get found by me. The moment he get found by me, then you can only blame your bad luck." With that, the black-robed youth lifted his hand and threw out two fireballs, burning Bai Chitian and the Blade Crown Beast. Thereafter, his figure flashed and he actually went in the same direction as Mo Wuji. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, he stopped. The place that he stopped was only 30 meters away from Mo Wuji¡¯s Undying World. At this point, he seemed to be using his spiritual will as a probe as he scanned this location. Chapter 525: Xuan Immortal Stage Chapter 525: Xuan Immortal Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This was already the 26th day that Mo Wuji was heavily injured. Mo Wuji¡¯s vitality channel, spirit storage channel and elemental storage channels were circulating simultaneously and had finally suppressed the devastating cold energy in his body. The moment that cold energy was suppressed, Mo Wuji¡¯s recovery sped up. His Scholar¡¯s Heart swept across all his meridians, and under the Scholar¡¯s Heart¡¯s blanket sweep, that cold energy finally transformed into ten ice cold drops of liquid which were forced out from his fingertips. After forcing the talisman¡¯s cold energy out, Mo Wuji could not help but sigh in praise. So impressive. If he wasn¡¯t so unique, he would have definitely been killed. Indeed, these Star-grade geniuses were not easy to kill. From the looks of it, he needed to quickly level up. He needed to at least be in the Xuan Immortal Stage, then he would be safer. As he casually opened Bai Chitian¡¯s storage ring, Mo Wuji received a pleasant surprise. Besides the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, there were also five to six hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals. There were also piles of ores and magic treasures. However, these weren¡¯t the main cause for his pleasant surprise; what left him feeling the most excited was the pile of immortal herbs that were mostly Tier 5 and above. Clearly, Bai Chitian¡¯s standards were much higher than his: there were very few low tiered immortal herbs, he didn¡¯t even see many Tier 4 immortal herbs. As for immortal herbs that were Tier 3 and below, Mo Wuji did not even see any except for a few valuable ones. To Mo Wuji, what he was lacking the most now were Tier 6 immortal herbs. Also, he wanted to advance to the Tier 7 Pill Emperor level, so Tier 7 immortal herbs were indispensable things which he required. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to arrange the things within Bai Chitian¡¯s storage ring then placed them in his own Undying World. Thereafter, he flashed out from his Undying World. It was incomparably silent outside. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know that less than one month ago, a person had been searching around this area for several days. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that his Undying World was too ordinary and looked just like another grain of sand, and that the person searching for him was only a Xuan Immortal, he might have already been discovered. Mo Wuji swept his spiritual will outwards and he did not detect any signs of other people. He directly threw out one hundred thousand immortal crystals and started to install a spirit gathering array. If he didn''t pass his tribulation and advance to the Xuan Immortal Stage, then his power would be insufficient for the Broken World. At the Great Circle of the Golden Immortal Stage, he was able to deal with an average late stage Xuan Immortal. But in the Broken World, there were too many experts. A Star-grade genius at the late Xuan Immortal Stage was a completely different affair from an average cultivator. As for choosing a more remote location to experience his tribulation, that thought never crossed Mo Wuji''s mind. As long as a tribulation occurred, no matter how remote a place was, it would still be noticed. Moreover, his Lightning Calamity was extremely strong, anyone that wanted to do anything to him during his tribulation would have to think twice. After swallowing a Xuan Crossing Pill, all his 108 meridians went into reverse circulation; the surrounding immortal spiritual energy swept towards him like waves. For other cultivators trying to charge into the Xuan Immortal Stage, they would cultivate till the very peak, or even wait till the Lightning Calamity comes, before they took the Xuan Crossing Pill. But for Mo Wuji, he first swallowed the pill before drawing in immortal spiritual energy. When the skies turned dim, Mo Wuji directly threw another Xuan Crossing Pills into his mouth. Waves of immortal spiritual energy were quickly converted to immortal elemental energy. Even without Mo Wuji''s incitement, his immortal elemental energy violently crashed against the cultivation shackles between the Golden Immortal Stage to the Xuan Immortal Stage. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The tribulation lightning came faster than Mo Wuji expected. Just when he had prepared himself to absorb the lightning essence, multiple thick lightning bolts crashed against him. When Mo Wuji was advancing into the Golden Immortal Stage, he was almost killed by the lightning bolts. It could be said that if not the fact that he only fainted after advancing into the Golden Immortal Stage, and that there were few lightning bolts left in the Lightning Calamity, he would have already been struck to death. Fortunately, Mo Wuji was prepared this time around. He would furiously absorb the lightning essence and the immortal spiritual energy, and he would only calm down when he advanced into the Xuan Immortal Stage. His Lightning Calamity had always been more powerful than others¡¯; if he were to simply stand still and absorb the strikes, then he would definitely die. Intensely powerful lightning bolts struck downwards; with the assistance of the Xuan Crossing Pill, the lightning essence and the immortal spiritual energy only needed a single try to reach the Xuan Immortal shackles. Mo Wuji continued to swallow another three Xuan Crossing Pills, allowing the immortal spiritual energy to flow more violently like torrential waves; the energy was like a wave of flaming water as it started to tear Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians open. No one would advance to the Xuan Immortal Stage in a manner like Mo Wuji: to use the Xuan Crossing Pill in such an extravagant manner. No one would also be as daring as Mo Wuji, to actually consume the Xuan Crossing Pills in such a crazy fashion. Even a genius wouldn''t have dared to swallow six Xuan Crossing Pills in the process of breaking through to the Xuan Immortal Stage, but Mo Wuji did just that. If not for his previous near-death experience during his Golden Immortal Tribulation, he really wouldn''t have did such a thing. For an average Golden Immortal, using six Xuan Crossing Pills coupled with the spirit gathering array¡¯s boundless immortal spiritual energy and the destructive lightning essence, would probably cause his spirit channels to be shredded apart, and he would immediately become trash. No one was like Mo Wuji, even a genius that opened many spirit channels would not have the same level of understanding towards spirit channels that Mo Wuji had towards meridians. Mo Wuji could easily get all his 108 meridians to reverse circulate simultaneously, first forming 108 small circulation paths then instantly a combined, huge circulation path. No matter how many spirit channels other cultivators had, they would still be unable to form 108 small circulation paths at one go, much less one huge circulation path. Even though Mo Wuji''s 108 meridians were reverse circulating at the same time, he was still slightly unable to bear the inundating amounts of violent immortal spiritual energy. His violent immortal elemental energy started to cause blood trails to appear throughout his body; his bones also started to tremble. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Another wave of lightning bolts descended. Under Mo Wuji''s previous efforts, his Xuan Immortal shackles already started to shiver. With this wave of lightning bolts, his Xuan Immortal shackles were directly struck apart. A sense of glee, akin to when a river fish met the ocean, flooded into his mind. At this instant, Mo Wuji could even feel his soul levelling up and getting stronger. Refreshing, freedom, grandness... "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji broke his Xuan Immortal shackles and entered into the Xuan Immortal Stage, a sort of gloom which seemed to fill the entire atmosphere with desolation set in; another ten thick bolts of lightning came crashing downwards. These lightning bolts seemed to contain the aura of death, as well as the desire for destruction. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes were filled with agitation; the various joys that he felt after advancing had already disappeared. He stared calmly at the concentrated lightning bolts; his heart was slightly cold. If this was a few moments ago, he probably would have fainted when facing this slew of terrifying lightning bolts, just like during his previous tribulation. But previously, he managed to advance to the Golden Immortal Stage before he fainted, which was why he could survive. However, who¡¯s to say that he would be as lucky this time around? Fortunately, he had done precautionary actions; before these deadly lightning bolts came down, he used the method of crazily ingesting Xuan Crossing Pills to advance to the Xuan Immortal Stage faster. These lightning bolts which would have killed him if he were still a Golden Immortal, would not help him stabilise his Xuan Immortal cultivation, and help him rapidly raise his level. "Crackle!" The intensive bolts of lightning struck against Mo Wuji heavily. Besides tearing apart some of Mo Wuji¡¯s flesh and skin, these lightning bolts helped Mo Wuji to raise his level and stabilise his cultivation. Now that the terrifying wave of lightning had come to pass, the later bolts of lightning were simply a light breeze to Mo Wuji. After a few simple waves of lightning, the sky started to clear up. This Lightning Calamity seemed to know that it was helpless against Mo Wuji, so it chose to give up. Without surprise, Mo Wuji had advanced into the Xuan Immortal Stage. At this instant, the aura around him was overwhelming and startling. Even from afar, one could see the intense aura exuded by Mo Wuji. One immortal halo after another started to revolve around Mo Wuji; they were even more eye-catching than those Star-grade geniuses. And as Mo Wuji continuously stabilised his cultivation, those immortal halos gradually concealed themselves within his body. Multiple days passed and Mo Wuji reverted back to his previous appearance. If people didn¡¯t notice Mo Wuji¡¯s face, they wouldn¡¯t have known that Mo Wuji had advanced to the Xuan Immortal Stage; the current Mo Wuji was no different from when he was a Golden Immortal. He looked completely ordinary and normal, just like a mortal. However, his scar-filled face had now regained its previous appearance; there was no longer a single scar. With his current status, there was no need to continue hiding low. As he felt his improved sea of consciousness and his resounding immortal elemental energy, Mo Wuji felt very satisfied; he had finally advanced to the Xuan Immortal Stage. There was no need to talk about other places, at least in the Broken World, he should be able to protect himself. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even change his clothes as he directly took out his Scholar¡¯s Heart. At the same time, he brought out his Three Flower Fire Heartstone. His Scholar¡¯s Heart was merely a Grade 1 immortal fire, while the Three Flower Fire Heartstone was used for advancing Grade 2 immortal fires to Grade 3 ones. Mo Wuji was worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to control the Fire Heartstone when he was a Golden Immortal. Now that he had already advanced to the Xuan Immortal Stage, he should be able to control it, right? The moment the Three Flower Fire Heartstone came out, Mo Wuji discovered that the three flowers at the core of the stone were vibrating vigorously. And at the same time, the Scholar¡¯s Heart seemed to be dancing with more glee than when it met the Supreme Nirvana Fire Essence, and it immediately swept the Three Flower Fire Heartstone away. "Boom!" A 30 meter tall tower of fire surged into the sky, then expanded and blocked it. At this instant, Mo Wuji felt like he was within a huge mountain of flames. After the Scholar¡¯s Heart devoured the Three Flower Fire Heartstone, it transformed into a huge mountain of fire and started to sway in the air. Mo Wuji was slightly startled, if the Scholar¡¯s Heart wasn¡¯t his, he probably would have been burned to ash by these violent flames. The violent fire mountain burned unbridled for another four hours before it gradually died down and finally transformed into a thumb-sized green ball of flames. There seemed to be the faint outline of two sprouts within the green ball of flames. Mo Wuji could also clearly feel that the power of the Scholar¡¯s Heart was multiple times more than before. That was truly some good stuff; Mo Wuji was incomparably excited. It was extremely hard to evolve a fire, but his luck was really good, in a short period of time, he had brought his Scholar¡¯s Heart to the peak of a Grade 2 immortal flame; it was just one step away from reaching Grade 3. He finally had some capital of his own. To Mo Wuji, the evolution of his Scholar¡¯s Heart wasn¡¯t a mere increase in level of his flame; it was also related to his pill concocting and his Domain Crushing Fist. With a thought, the Scholar¡¯s Heart disappeared from Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. At this instant, it was completely silent around Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji frowned; he felt that something was amiss. From his Lightning Calamity to the evolution of his Scholar¡¯s Heart, he had created such a huge disturbance. Why didn¡¯t anyone come? There were so many people in the Broken World. Even if they were very dispersed, some people would have noticed his huge ruckus, right? However, the silent Broken World felt rather abnormal. Chapter 526: The Despairing Statue Chapter 526: The Despairing Statue Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Logically, even if they were at some treasure location, there still wouldn''t be no one around, right? Minutes later, Mo Wuji eventually decided that no matter what happened, he would have to stabilize his cultivation first. There were also the things in the ring that he needed to rearrange: some treasures that he wouldn''t use would need to be placed in his Undying World and he still needed to refine that pagoda treasure. A few breaths later, Mo Wuji reentered the Undying World. The surroundings had finally calmed down from the ruckus caused by Mo Wuji''s tribulation and fire evolution. When he returned to his Undying World, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to take out the jade box which emanated metal-type energy. Previously, he didn''t dare to open it in front of everyone else because he suspected that it was a Metal Elemental Bead. If it was really a Metal Elemental Bead, then that would mean that his Undying World could evolve once more. More importantly, back when the Undying World used the Wood Elemental Bead, he was almost sucked dry of his vitality. Thus, if he really obtained the Metal Elemental Bead, then he would need to be careful. Over the past few days, he had been recovering from his injuries so he naturally wouldn''t dare to take it out. Now that he had healed fully, and had advanced to become a Xuan Immortal, he guessed that he wouldn''t be sucked dry, right? Mo Wuji first took out ten different kinds of healing pills and placed them by his side. Only then, did he open the jade box. The moment the jade box was opened, the metal type energy in the surrounding became even richer. A golden fist-sized bead lay quietly within the box. Compared to the Earth Elemental Bead, this bead was smaller by a sizeable amount. However, Mo Wuji was still sure that this was the Metal Elemental Bead. What left Mo Wuji doubtful was that the moment the Metal Elemental Bead appeared, there wasn''t even a single reaction. The previous incident where the Earth Elemental Bead started to furiously suck his life energy didn''t happen; this left Mo Wuji feeling slightly disappointed. Could it be that this Metal Elemental Bead and his Earth Elemental Bead wasn''t part of the same set? Mo Wuji then tried using his spiritual will to form a link between the Metal Elemental Bead and the Undying World but there still wasn''t any reaction. Then, he carefully forced out a drop of vital blood and dripped it on the Metal Elemental Bead. The moment the vital blood landed on the Metal Elemental Bead, the bead started buzzing with a ''Weng¡¯, and it immediately charged into the Undying World. At the next instant, Mo Wuji felt his life force being continuously extracted. Mo Wuji sighed and sat down; here this little thing goes again. Fortunately, he had already made his preparations; this time, he shouldn''t almost end up dead again right? The moment a stream of life forcefully formed between Mo Wuji and the Metal Elemental Bead, the Metal Elemental Bead suddenly radiated billions of beams of golden light; these boundless golden light started to seep into the Undying World. The Metal Elemental Bead continuously got smaller; Mo Wuji''s life force also continuously disappeared. Even though he had the vitality channel supplying him with vitality, Mo Wuji still began to age rapidly. He continuously administered pills on himself, however, it still wasn''t able to prevent himself from fainting again. By the time Mo Wuji woke up, it was already multiple days later. His hair had, once again, been bleached white, and his body was extremely weak. However, all this was unable to stop Mo Wuji''s glee. What he saw before him, was a completely different world. Compared his previous Undying World, the Undying World in front of him was bigger by multiple times. Moreover, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere contained some sort of life energy. This life energy might not be the same as his vitality but it gave a sense of comfort. At the same time, Mo Wuji also felt that his Undying World was much sturdier and stronger than before. Just one Metal Elemental Bead was able to cause such drastic changes in his Undying World; this one served to firm Mo Wuji''s resolution to gather all five elements. The moment he gathered all five elements into his Undying World, what would happen? After calming himself down, Mo Wuji started to recover his vitality. He possessed the vitality pill and used many pills. After being sucked dry by the Metal Elemental Bead in such a manner, he required a whole half a month before he gradually recovered. Even so, he still felt weakness throughout his entire body and his face was a little yellowish; it looked as though he was gravely ill. Mo Wuji then took out pagoda and as he gradually refined it, he lost all interest in it. It was merely a Grade 5 immortal equipment; it wasn''t very useful to him. This pagoda was a defence-type treasure, and it could also be used to hit people. To Mo Wuji, he preferred sabre or halberd attack-type treasures. When it comes to defence-type treasures, he had chopping board which was already enough. No wonder why that Chen Hu did not seem to care about this pagoda. To an Eight Star Genius, a Grade 5 immortal equipment really wasn''t anything amazing. Mo Wuji was also rather speechless; a Grade 5 immortal equipment was actually placed together with a treasure like the Metal Elemental Bead; this was clearly a jarring difference. After simply organising his stuff, Mo Wuji left the Undying World. He was going to continue searching for more immortal herbs and treasures in the Broken World. ¡­ Multiple days passed in a flash. There was now another pile of immortal herbs in his storage ring. He was different from other cultivators, to him, as long as it was an immortal herb, he would take it; he did not care about its tier. What left Mo Wuji surprised was that he still hadn''t encountered another person over these few days. On this day, huge shadowy things appeared within his spiritual will. It felt like he was standing on a peak overlooking a modern city in the distance, and this city seemed to be shrouded in huge fog; except for the silhouettes of a few skyscrapers, the rest of the place was a blur. Mo Wuji hastily sped over, and an hour later, Mo Wuji stopped. The scene in front of him was too staggering; he finally understood why this place was called the Broken World. Compared to the natural environment filled with immortal herbs, what he saw in front of him was completely different. What he saw were tall and towering buildings, and without exception, all of them had collapsed. It looked a little messy. Grey debris; mossy stone walls; weed-filled jade tables; streets that had rubble stacked up on it¡­. At the furthest corner of that particular street, Mo Wuji saw a huge statue. That statue had also crumbled onto the ground; it only had a damaged head and half a chest, without any limbs. The only thing that remained complete was a single eye on the statue¡¯s damaged head. It was clearly a statue, but that eye was filled with a sort of expression that left Mo Wuji feeling slightly scared. It was a sort of dejection, desolation, loss, and it even seemed to contain some regret¡­ Below that eye, was a greyish-white line; it looked like a dried-up stream of tears. The expression within the statue¡¯s eyes was so vivid; vivid to the point where Mo Wuji was feeling palpitations within his heart. It was unknown exactly what happened, to cause this world to be so broken. It was also unknown exactly what happened, to cause this statue to have such an expression. Mo Wuji sighed. He lifted his hand and waved away the surrounding rubble and debris. He found one of the statue¡¯s broken arm within the rubble and attached it back to the statue. Mo Wuji then picked up the collapsed statue and placed it upright. However, this standing statue did not have two legs and half its body; it only had an arm and one eye. After installing a layer of defensive seals around the statue, Mo Wuji sighed, "This is the best I can help you. I¡¯m not able to do anything else." After saying this, Mo Wuji walked into the ruins. ¡­ At the same time, at another corner of the broken ruins, there were a hundred people staring at each other. These hundred people did not seem to be from two groups, but instead, many different factions. They were all mutually staring at one another. At the zone in between them, there was a sealed immortal herb garden. Within the garden, the lowest tiered immortal herb was Tier 6; most of them were Tier 7 and there were even some Tier 8 immortal herbs. One must know that every strain of Tier 8 immortal herbs had an immeasurable value, and there were actually more than ten of them here. If these immortal herbs were enough to cause all of these cultivators eyes to turn red, then the immortal essence pool beside the immortal herb garden was enough to leave all of them panting. The immortal essence of the immortal essence pool had already turned dry, but most of the immortal essence had solidified and become crystals. The immortal essence pool looked like it was filled with icy flowers; it was an incredible sight. "Immortal Friend Chen, this place was first discovered by my Yong Ying Immortal Domain; you only came afterwards. Even if we were to split, you can¡¯t just give my Yong Ying Immortal Domain 10% of all of it and even expect us to wait for the other Immortal Domains to take their share, right? Is that even reasonable?" The one speaking was a medium-built, ordinary looking youth. He was Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Vigorous Sea Immortal City¡¯s Young Castellan, Zuo Yixian. Don¡¯t judge him based on his ordinary looks. In reality, Zuo Yixian was a Seven Star Genius and had a cultivation at the late Xuan Immortal Stage. He was ranked 4 in Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Ten Great Xuan Immortals. However, if Zuo Yixian could be considered an expert in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, then he really wasn¡¯t anything much here. Any random genius here was no worse than him; in fact, there were many that were much stronger than him. Or to speak, in other words, this was a gathering of geniuses. The person called ¡®Immortal Friend Chen¡¯ was also a young man. This person was wearing white robes, he had handsome features and he had a jade flute on his back. Compared to Zuo Yixian, he looked much more confident. This person also exuded strong lightning aura; even though the lightning aura around him was slightly weaker than Gu Zijian¡¯s, no one thought that he was weaker than Gu Zijian. He was the same as Gu Zijian; he also came from the Lightning Sect. He was also an Eight Star Genius, Chen Jushan. Only Gu Zijian knew that Chen Jushan wasn¡¯t merely similar to him in power; Chen Jushan was much more powerful than him. Even though the two of them were roughly of the same cultivation, Chen Jushan had more methods than him. "Who told you that those that came first would get the first pick, and get allocated more? Following your logic, the person who first discovered the Broken World owns the entire Broken World?" Chen Jushan stared coldly at Zuo Yixian. His voice contained a hint of pride as he continued, "Since we¡¯re in the Broken World, we should allocate things based on power. Whichever Immortal Domain is more powerful, would enjoy more¡­" As he said this, his gaze landed on Murong Xiangyu, "Just now, when you discovered this place, did you take away the seven pages of the Book of Luo?" Murong Xiangyu¡¯s heart tightened; she subconsciously took a step back. Chen Jushan didn¡¯t move; he continued to speak coldly, "The seven pages of the Book of Luo do not belong to you. Take it out. I will help to allocate the pages. Luo Ling Immortal Domain¡¯s one will go to Huan Xiuran, Zero Heaven Immortal Domain to Fu Bei, Six Paths Immortal Domain to Lu Jiazhi, Sala Buddha Immortal Domain to Yi Ning, your Yong Ying Immortal Domain to Gui Yi, and my Mahesvara Immortal Domain to Junior Brother Gu Zijian. Since there aren¡¯t any representatives from Gods Immortal Domain here, then I will take theirs." Chapter 527: The Most Shameless Sect Chapter 527: The Most Shameless Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Murong Xiangyu¡¯s heart tightened. She was the first to discover this place. She didn¡¯t really care how the immortal herbs the immortal essence would be allocated; but she was especially concerned about the seven pages of the Book of Luo that were in her hands. The Book of Luo was a Xiantian treasure of legend. It could be considered her fate to have found it, so how could she simply give them away. She looked towards Gu Zijian with pleading eyes; everyone knew how Gu Zijian treated her. However, she was also worried that Gu Zijian wouldn¡¯t stand up for her. After all, the seven pages of the Book of Luo were supreme-grade treasures, and Chen Jushan had even allocated one to Gu Zijian. Would Gu Zijian still come forward to help her? Gu Zijian sighed in his heart; if he were given a choice between the Book of Luo and Murong Xiangyu, he would not hesitate to choose the Book of Luo. However, everyone knew how he felt about Murong Xiangyu. If he were to reject Murong Xiangyu because of a Book of Luo, his reputation would suffer a heavy blow. As he thought of this, Gu Zijian turned towards Chen Jushan and clasped his fists, "Senior Brother Jushan, these seven pages of the Book of Luo were things found by Junior Sister Xiangyu. If we were to do that, it would be extremely unreasonable." The moment Gu Zijian said those words, he could feel many harsh gazes landing on him. At this instant, Gu Zijian felt that he was very stupid; he shouldn¡¯t have waited for Murong Xiangyu to look at him for help, he should have taken the initiative to help speak up for Murong Xiangyu. There was no need to talk about himself, the seven pages of the Book of Luo were extremely precious treasures that everyone would want. Standing up to help Murong Xiangyu speak was akin to not saying anything; someone would naturally rebut him. Since that¡¯s the case, he could still help Murong Xiangyu and the results wouldn¡¯t change. No matter how obstinate Murong Xiangyu was, she wouldn¡¯t want him to go against so many genius cultivators, right? "Immortal Friend Gu, there¡¯s no need to talk about how you are still not in a relationship with Murong Xiangyu. Even if Murong Xiangyu was your dao companion, your logic still isn¡¯t right. The Books of Luo belongs to the entire Immortal World, they are not anyone¡¯s private property. If it¡¯s something which belongs to you, it¡¯s up to you whether you wish to give it to Murong Xiangyu. Moreover, didn¡¯t Murong Xiangyu¡¯s Yong Ying Immortal Domain also get allocated one of the Books of Luo?" Huan Xiuran¡¯s icy cold voice could be heard; there was not a single hint of warmth from within. Before entering the Broken World, he got his good seat taken away by Mo Wuji and he had always been nursing this grievance in his heart. Now, another person wanted to take his thing away; if he, Huan Xiuran agreed, then he would be an idiot. Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Fu Bei chuckled, "I agree with Immortal Friend Xiuran¡¯s words; Immortal Friend Gu is overstepping the boundaries." Fu Bei had a fit and muscular body; but his head was especially small. His square face that seemed to be filled with muscle gave people a mule-headed impression of him. Chen Jushan said indifferently, "That¡¯s enough Junior Brother Zijian. Our Lightning Sect might not be a small sect, but we shouldn¡¯t create any enemies for our sect. Moreover, this allocation method is agreed upon by everyone, so there¡¯s no need to suggest anything otherwise." Now that Chen Jushan said this, Gu Zijian could only look apologetically towards Murong Xiangyu, implying that this matter was truly out of his control. Murong Xiangyu¡¯s heart turned cold; she knew that no matter what, she would not be able to keep her Book of Luo. She subconsciously turned towards her fellow sect mate, Senior Brother Gui Yi. Gui Yi acted as though he didn¡¯t notice Murong Xiangyu¡¯s gaze. There was no need to talk about how he was going to be allocated one of the seven pages. Even if he wasn¡¯t given a single one, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to offend the Star-grade geniuses from the other Immortal Domains just because of Murong Xiangyu. Seeing Gui Yi¡¯s nonchalant appearance, Murong Xiangyu lamented in her heart. She directly asked, "Senior Brother Gui, we¡¯re both from the Supreme Dao Sect. Don¡¯t you even have a single word to say? Gui Yi said emotionlessly, "Immortal Friend Chen is right. Moreover, Immortal Friend Chen¡¯s allocation method wouldn¡¯t be disadvantaging our Yong Ying Immortal Domain." By the side, Zuo Yixian said coldly, "Is that so? Why did I hear that Yong Ying Immortal Domain would only be given 10% of the immortal herbs, and we even have to be the last ones to enter the garden to collect them?" Gui Yi snorted, "I¡¯m talking about the Book of Luo. The matter regarding the Book of Luo has yet to be settled, so why are you changing the topic to something else? A hint of disdain flashed across Zuo Yixian¡¯s eyes, but he didn¡¯t continue speaking. He was very clear that might is right here; nothing else matters. A trace of desperation emerged within Murong Xiangyu¡¯s eyes; her fists were clenched to the point that her veins were protruding. She said softly, "Since that¡¯s the case, I also agree with Immortal Friend Chen¡¯s allocation method. However, Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s share must go to me." Gui Yu¡¯s eyes turned cold, "You¡¯re merely a Six Star talent, and you¡¯re only in the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. With your qualities, you think you deserve the Book of Luo?" "Senior Brother Gui, we¡¯re from the same sect, the same Supreme Dao Sect." Murong Xiangyu took a deep breath and stared at Gui Yi. Gui Yi said indifferently, "So what if we¡¯re from the same sect? So you know that we¡¯re from the Supreme Dao Sect. The Supreme Dao was always about the Emotionless Dao, aren¡¯t you a proponent of that? That Yan Ye, wasn¡¯t he your husband? Didn¡¯t you just cast him away just because of your own Dao? Let me ask you, where is that Yan Ye now? Don¡¯t tell me that we should only care about your own Dao, and my Gui Yi¡¯s Dao isn¡¯t important?" Murong Xiangyu went blank; she suddenly thought about Yan Ye. No matter how Yan Ye was, he was her childhood friend, and he was even her officially betrothed husband. To help her perfect her emotionless dao heart, he took the risk to come to follow her to the Broken World¡­ When she asked Yan Ye for a divorce, did his heartache as much as hers was right now? There¡¯s the saying: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. What this her karma? In her perspective, it was simply a perfectly natural thing for her to leave Yan Ye. But what if she were to put herself in Yan Ye¡¯s shoes? What did Yan Ye do wrong? Did he commit any mistake after the marriage? If they were to follow the logics of a mortal marriage, she, Murong Xiangyu, was the one to violate the Seven Articles. [1] She finally felt the bitterness that Yan Ye would have felt previously; because at this moment, no one was willing to put themselves in her shoes. Murong Xiangyu brought out her green sword, her voice was calm as she said, "If anyone wants to take my Books of Luo, then come on. I didn¡¯t rob or snatch anyone for them. What belongs to me, Murong Xiangyu, definitely wouldn¡¯t simply be given away." Chen Jushan snorted and shouted harshly, "Various Immortal Domains, those that are allocated a Book of Luo, attack together. Not coming forward is equivalent to giving up your rights to the Book of Luo." With that, Chen Jushan was the first to charge forward and strike out with a fist. There was no need to talk about six to seven people encircling and attacking Murong Xiangyu. Just one of them was already enough to easily get rid of her. "Boom!" Chen Jushan only needed one fist to rip Murong Xiangyu¡¯s domain apart. The second cultivator to charge over had already shot out a black light. The black light landed on Murong Xiangyu¡¯s chest. Murong Xiangyu coughed out a mouthful of blood as her entire body was sent flying. At this instant, the other cultivators slowly entered the scene. As she was still in mid-air, Murong Xiangyu¡¯s face was pale white; her eyes were filled with despair. She never thought that the second person to try to kill her would be her sect mate, Gui Yi. Gu Zijian, who was previously extremely warm and nice to her, didn¡¯t make a move. However, he also slowly walked out with the other cultivators. Clearly, in his eyes, the Book of Luo was more important than her. Murong Xiangyu landed heavily on the ground and vomited a huge mouthful of fresh blood. She staggered up, stared at Gu Zijian and asked, "Gu Zijian, you also want my Book of Luo?" A hint of guilt flashed across Gu Zijian¡¯s eyes; he subconsciously slowed down his steps. Gui Yi, however, started chuckling, "Junior Sister Xiangyu, are you really a Supreme Dao Sect disciple? Your cultivation method is really lacking; could it be that you think you would really be together with Immortal Friend Gu because you like him? Don¡¯t tell me that you only intend to fall in love with Immortal Friend Gu, but not severe that love? Since that¡¯s the case, I will stop asking such useless questions. In our Supreme Dao Sect, what else is there besides the Great Dao?" What else is there besides the Great Dao? Murong Xiangyu¡¯s mouth went ajar; she didn¡¯t speak any further. She even started thinking what she would do if she were in Gui Yi¡¯s position. Soon, she shook her head. Perhaps her dao heart wasn¡¯t strong enough; no matter the reason, she wouldn¡¯t team up with experts from other Immortal Domains to fight with someone of her same sect. Murong Xiangyu suddenly thought of Yan Ye again; no, it should be Mo Wuji. Before she left Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji said to her: You¡¯re not suitable for the Emotionless Dao. Could his words really be true? "That¡¯s why I¡¯ve always said, the Supreme Dao Sect is the most shameless sect I¡¯ve seen. A simple phrase to describe it would be "An old woman leans against the wall to drink porridge". Don¡¯t you know what that means? Let this old man tell you, it means despicable (back against the wall), shameless (without teeth), lowly (the porridge goes down the throat), no sense of shame (the bowl covers the face)." [2] An abrupt voice interrupted Gui Yi¡¯s words. Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the person who came over. This person was slightly thin; his face was yellowish; his long hair was casually tied, and he had a grey saber on his back. "You¡¯re Mo Wuji?" Huan Xiuran was the first to recognise Mo Wuji. Over these few short months, Mo Wuji had already lost so much weight; it was unknown exactly what happened to him. The only thing that improved was that the lightning scars on his face had disappeared. "Keke, I never thought that the Heaven Accordance Island¡¯s Young Island Master was one to bully women, and to even team up with others just to do that. The Heaven Accordance Island truly has a good reputation," Mo Wuji said contemptuously. Towards Murong Xiangyu, he didn¡¯t have any favor, nor disgust. However, seeing that Murong Xiangyu was in danger, he did not mind saving her once. After all, Murong Xiangyu could be considered to have helped him before. "Immortal Friend Mo!" "Elder Mo!" "Brother Mo, long time no see¡­" Huan Xiuran was thinking about attacking when suddenly ten to twenty cultivators came forward to greet Mo Wuji. These cultivators greeted him with all sorts of titles, there was immortal friend, elder, brother, and even pill refiner¡­ This caused Huan Xiuran to momentarily curb his impulse. Exactly what was Mo Wuji¡¯s background? Mo Wuji returned the greetings; he knew that these were the cultivators that were going to request him for pills. He was a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder and he had promised to help them concoct pills. Now that he had made an entrance, naturally they would come to greet him. "Haha, Immortal Friend Mo, I¡¯ve long heard about your illustrious name. I am Lightning Sect¡¯s Chen Jushan. I wonder where does Immortal Friend Mo come from?" Chen Jushan was inwardly surprised at Mo Wuji¡¯s background. Why did so many cultivators seem to have relations with him? Before knowing Mo Wuji¡¯s exact background, he could only clasp his fists and greet him as well. Mo Wuji did not know Chen Jushan, but he saw that Chen Jushan was one of the few that was bullying Murong Xiangyu. His heart was filled with disdain. Now that Chen Jushan had come forward to ask him, he did not even clasp his fist as he answered calmly, "Yong Ying Immortal Domain." Chen Jushan did not seem to notice Mo Wuji¡¯s indifference as he clapped his hands and smiled, "Just right. Immortal Friend Mo should have one of the Books of Luo." [1] The Seven Articles are the seven reasons for a husband to rightly abandon a wife. They can be found here: https://zhidao.google.com/question/118472110.html [2] The words in the brackets describe how those four adjectives are related to the old woman leaning against the wall drinking porridge. The other plays with words with similar pronunciations, etc. Chapter 528: You Can Scr*w Off Chapter 528: You Can Scr*w Off Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Hearing Chen Jushan¡¯s words, Gua Yi quickly spoke up, "Immortal Friend Chen, didn¡¯t you say that Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s share is mine¡­" However, Chen Jushan interrupted Gua Yi unabashedly, "Oh, didn¡¯t you say that each immortal domain would choose its strongest expert? Do you think you¡¯re stronger than Immortal Friend Mo?" The final sentence made Gua Yi¡¯s expression change for the worse. He didn¡¯t know who Mo Wuji was, but both Huan Xiuran and Chen Jushan were afraid of this guy, so how could he go up? "What are those seven pages of Book of Luo?" Mo Wuji asked, seemingly confused. He had just arrived and only saw a large group of people attacking Murong Xiangyu. Even Gu Zijian, who was pursuing Murong Xiangyu, could only follow behind them. As for what Murong Xiangyu did to incite such wrath, he really was not aware. Based on Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding of Murong Xiangyu, this woman did not care about anything other than her cultivation dao. But with no interpersonal relationships, she shouldn¡¯t have offended that many people at once either. Seeing that Mo Wuji did not know about the seven pages of Book of Luo, Chen Jushan grinned, but still felt indignant in his heart. At the same time, he understood why Mo Wuji was so calm. Just as he was about to explain everything, a rough voice suddenly roared out, "You¡¯re Mo Wuji? The guy that found a natural sealed cave with my junior apprentice brother, Bai Chitian, then took everything for himself?" Bai Chitian¡¯s apprentice brother? Mo Wuji¡¯s attention immediately fell on the person that was speaking. This guy was short with a square face, a muscular physique and held a large bronze hammer in his hand. Seeing the aura around him, one would know that this guy was not any weaker than Bai Chitian. Since Mo Wuji could kill Bai Chitian, he naturally did not give this guy much face, "Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting there?" "I am Fu Bei, a disciple of the Vast Ocean Immortal School from Zero Heaven Immortal Domain. There has been no news of my apprentice brother, Bai Chitian, that natural seal was opened. Speak, did you do something to him?" Fu Bei spoke harshly, with a fierce look on his face. "Am I the nanny of your Vast Ocean Immortal School? If you¡¯re going to ask me about every piece of trash that you cannot find, what kind of benefits will your sect give me?" Mo Wuji¡¯s response was filled with malice. Deep inside, he was even thinking to himself what a bad name this sect had. Fu Bei took a step forward, landing not far away from Mo Wuji, before he began to speak while staring hard at Mo Wuji, "Whatever you took away much be quite impressive right? My senior brother, Bai Chitian, hates evil, and definitely can¡¯t stand any of those who don¡¯t have any self-awareness. Since you took everything for yourself, naturally he would look down on you. But you went a step further to follow my apprentice brother and assassinate him right?" What nonsense? Mo Wuji was stunned, and replied, "You idiot. Since you could get wind of this, you would know that there was over a hundred other Immortal Friends around too right? There are over ten of those who went to the natural array among us now. No one had any issues with the things that I took away, so what business is it of yours whether I took everything for myself?" Indeed, Bai Chitian was killed by him, but to ask him to admit it, it was impossible. Even if the Vast Ocean Immortal School knew that he did it, as long as he did not admit to anything, they could only act against him in the dark, and definitely could not deal with an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Although Mo Wuji did not confess, his gaze had swept across the tens of people that came to greet him. Obviously, the ones who recognised the Metal Elemental Bead was not only Bao Chitian and himself. It was just that the others knew that they had no chance to get it, so they did not step forward to say anything. However, it was apparent now that one of those cultivators had spread the news to Fu Bei, and that person was here too. Of course, perhaps this person did not recognise the Metal Elemental Bead, but only sensed a trace of its aura. Something was brewing, thus no one dared to make a single sound. Huan Xiuran was much more fearful of Mo Wuji now. He knew how proud Bai Chitian was, to the point that he would not take any unfairness towards himself. When a natural seal was opened, with over a hundred people present, Mo Wuji could actually take everything for himself. How extraordinary could he be? "Even if you have an exceptional background, my Vast Ocean Immortal School is not something you can step over so easily. Hand over apprentice brother Chitian¡¯s things, and I can¡­" "You can scr*w off¡­" Mo Wuji did not even wait for Fu Bei to complete his sentence, and with a wave of his hand, a long saber landed in it, while tens of saber radiances shot out. Without saying a word, Mo Wuji had made the first move. Everyone in the surrounding crowd was shocked at the sudden attack, much less Fu Bei. All of the people here were not your ordinary joe, so those who could have attacked would have attacked already. The reason these guys dared to make a move against Murong Xiangyu was because the Supreme Dao Sect that she belonged to had already dissolved, and as the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was the lousiest out of the seven main immortal domains. Only a handful of cultivators knew who Mo Wuji was, and would recognise that he really had the qualifications to action. As an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, there wouldn¡¯t be anything wrong with taking a few disrespectful disciples to the task. Even though Fu Bei had his guard up against Mo Wuji, he was still flustered at the sight of the sudden swing of the saber. The moment that Mo Wuji swung his saber, Fu Bei could actually feel a sort of crushing aura. That¡¯s right, it was really crushing. He, Fu Bei, was a person in advanced Xuan Immortal Stage, and on top of that an eight star genius. Even if a nine star genius in the Great Circle of Xuan Immortal Stage, would not have such an effect on him. However, he could really feel such a crushing aura coming from Mo Wuji. I¡¯m definitely not a match for this guy. This was the only thought that ran through Fu Bei¡¯s mind. His domain wildly swept outwards, and his bronze hammer was swung out But soon Fu Bei found out that his domain was nothing in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s. "Boom!" A ten-meter long saber radiance landed on Fu Bei¡¯s bronze hammer and transmitted a strong wave of immortal elemental energy his way. He forcibly swallowed down a mouthful of fresh blood as he flew backward. Only did he land tens of meters away. By then, Mo Wuji¡¯s saber was already sheathed onto his back. He did not continue his pursuit of Fu Bei, but neither did he stop at that, surrounding Fu Bei with his spiritual will. Everyone was shocked by the scene that unraveled before them. Fu Bei might not have been the strongest here, but he was at least one of the top 10. Such a strong nine star genius, but yet he was still blown away by a single strike. Stunned, Fu Bei stood at his final position with a wound on his forehead, blood streaming out of it. However, he did not notice it at all, and was still staring at Mo Wuji with a shocked expression on his face. Up till this point, his hand had been shivering. If he did not cross swords with Mo Wuji, he would not have believed that a Xuan Immortal could be this strong. Since he had clashed with Mo Wuji, he was sure that Mo Wuji was not a Golden Immortal, but only a mere Xuan Immortal. At the same time, he was about 80% sure that Bai Chitian died at the hands of Mo Wuji too. Bai Chitian was from the same sect as him, so even if others did not know, he knew that the natural thing they would have done after being cheated by that much would be to follow Mo Wuji in the shadows. Since Mo Wuji was this strong, no one had to guess to know what happened to Bai Chitian. However, he did not know that Mo Wuji was just a Golden Immortal when Bai Chitian was hunting him down. At this moment, not only Huan Xiuran, but Gu Zijian, Chen Jushan, Yi Ning, and the rest were shocked. The black clothed man, Lu Jia, frowned slightly too, discovering that he had underestimated Mo Wuji as well. That¡¯s right when Mo Wuji killed Bai Chitian, he was the one that helped to erase all traces of it. Back then, he had searched around for half a day, but could not locate Mo Wuji. "Immortal Friend Mo is indeed as strong as the rumors say¡­" Chen Jushan smiled as he regained his composure. Yet, Mo Wuji did not bother with him at all, directly walking towards Fu Bai. Fu Bei¡¯s shivering stopped. If he was not worried about Mo Wuji chasing after him, or the large amounts of good things that he would leave behind, he would have escaped long ago. Seeing that Mo Wuji was coming his way, Fu Bei subconsciously took a step back, shouting fiercely, "What else do you want?" Everyone around them was disappointed. Not long ago, Fu Bei was still rather arrogant, looking for trouble with Mo Wuji, but in the end, he ended up in such a state after a single slash from Mo Wuji. What a big difference it was. Mo Wuji stood before Fu Bei, calmly saying, "Speak, who told you about the natural seal?" Before Fu Bei could reply, Mo Wuji drew out his saber and encircled Fu Bei in his whirlpool domain, and added on, "You can choose not to answer, but know that I can definitely kill you." How could Mo Wuji not have known that Fu Bei guessed that he had killed Bai Chitian? But killing Bai Chitian was one thing, and killing Fu Bei in front of a crowd was another. He could really kill Fu Bei, but the prerequisite would be that they were alone. It was precisely because Fu Bei knew that Mo Wuji had killed Bai Chitian, that made him believe in the statement presented to him. Taking in a deep breath, Fu Bei¡¯s gaze landed on the Xuan Immortal that had just greeted Mo Wuji, "It¡¯s him, he told me that you took away something good." "Get lost!" Mo Wuji retracted his domain, and gave the order to Fu Bei. Looking at the immortal herbs, Fu Bei knew that Mo Wuji would not go after him until they were all harvested. Hence, he did not spout any more bullsh*t, leaving immediately in a flash. The snitch saw Mo Wuji turn around to face him, and his face instantly turned pale while he kept backing away. Surprisingly, Mo Wuji did not make any moves, instead sheathing his saber on his back once again, speaking to the cultivator coldly, "You can scr*w off too. Don¡¯t let me see you ever again." A sense of regret emerged in the cultivator¡¯s heart. He had blabbered too much. Not only did he offend Mo Wuji, he probably lost his chance to refine pills for free. Luckily, Mo Wuji did not want to kill him, and at this point, he dared not stay a second longer, leaving swiftly into the distance. "Immortal Friend Mo, I¡¯ll continue my explanation of the seven pages of Book of Luo. The Book of Luo is one of the highest grade natural treasures of the immortal domain. Not only can this treasure suppress the destiny of a sect, it can also help to secure a cultivator¡¯s destiny as well. For attack type magic treasures, even Grade 9 immortal equipment cannot do anything when facing the Book of Luo. Seven pages of Book of Luo have appeared, and all of them are on Murong Xiangyu. My intention is for the seven great immortal domains to each get one page each¡­" Chen Jushan did not care about Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude, and kept a big smile on his face. Chapter 529: Don’t Involve Me In Your Games Chapter 529: Don¡¯t Involve Me In Your Games Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji''s gaze fell upon Murong Xiangyu, who stood some distance away, and asked, "How did the seven pages of the Book of Luo end up in her hands?" Even though Murong Xiangyu could not be considered the weakest present, but she was at least one of the weakest few. So no matter how good her luck was, once push came to shove, how could such a treasure like the seven pages of the Book of Luo end up in her hands? Murong Xianyu stepped forward and explained herself pitifully, "I was the first to discover this place, and helped everyone find such a large amount of immortal essence crystals together with a top grade immortal herb garden. Only after I arrived, did more people come over, and now not only do they want to split the things here among themselves, they want to snatch the seven pages of the Book of Luo from my hands too." At this moment, regardless whether the person before her was Mo Wuji or Yan Ye, to her, he was a stranger. Yan Ye had always been the lowest life form in her eyes, that also had the greedy attitude of a toad wanting to eat a goose¡¯s meat. "Immortal Friend Mo, things like xiantian treasures are not something that a single person can possess. The seven pages of the Book of Luo are the best out of all the treasures here, so I¡¯m suggesting that each Immortal Domain gets one page. If you, Immortal Friend Mo, with such a high position, entered the Broken World, and couldn¡¯t get a piece of the best treasure inside, how would that be fair?" Chen Jushan pointed out confidently. With his loud and bright voice, it seemed as though as he was on the side of justice. After hearing Chen Jushan¡¯s words, Mo Wuji understood what was going on, he nodded his head and replied, "Dao Friend Chen, how much have you gained since entering the Broken World? Could it be that you obtained some xiantian treasure too?" Immediately Chen Jushan frowned, and his tone turned sour, "While I did obtain some treasures, but I¡¯ve never even seen a xiantian treasure." "Then are you willing to pass me your ring to take a look?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. Chen Jushan¡¯s eyes turned cold. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he would definitely not allow Mo Wuji to climb over his head, "What¡¯s the meaning of this? Don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s taboo to look into other people¡¯s rings?" Mo Wuji simply chuckled, "Is it so? Even if I find something good in your ring, I¡¯ll only take some of it. There¡¯ll definitely be some left for you." A long flute landed in Chen Jushan¡¯s hands with a quick wave, and he loudly declared, "Mo Wuji, regardless of whatever your background is, my Lei Sect does not fear you." He did not say that he himself did not fear Mo Wuji. No matter how strong he, Chen Jushan, was, he was not strong enough to blow Fu Bei away with a slash. "You want to fight with me?" Mo Wuji¡¯s expression darkened, his killing intent extending into the surroundings. The suffocating killing aura engulfed him, causing Chen Jushan to take a deep breath of cold air. This killing aura was too strong. He suddenly experienced what Fu Bei felt previously, and he worked hard to calm himself down, speaking one word at a time, "You want to look into my ring and take stuff that belongs to me, so won¡¯t you let me at least have the chance to fight back? What logic is this? I, Chen Jushan, might not be as strong as you, but I¡¯m not some piece of dough that you can beat around." In response, Mo Wuji spoke uncaringly, "What you obtained in the Broken World belongs to you, but what others obtain must be split. How shameless can you get? Why don¡¯t you join the Supreme Dao Sect, I think that you¡¯re rather suited for it." Although he understood what Mo Wuji meant, since Mo Wuji had not made any moves yet, Chen Jushan naturally could not stupidly provoke Mo Wuji. He gradually raised his long flute, while his gaze landed on the other geniuses that wanted a piece of the seven pages of the Book of Luo. If the remaining guys all attacked at once, he would have attacked without hesitation too. But if he was going to take the fall against Mo Wuji, then there would be no chance in hell that it would happen. However, no one responded to Chen Jushan. Monk Yining even rubbed his bald head while smiling, "Brother Mo, with one look I know that you¡¯re someone who¡¯s reliable. Once we¡¯re back to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, I¡¯ll treat you to the strongest alcohol." Mo Wuji was rather speechless. Everyone else referred to him with the title ¡®Immortal Friend", but this monk called him as ¡®Brother¡¯ and also wanted to treat him to the strongest alcohol there was. He had heard of this Monk Yi Ning from Dou Hualong. Monk Yi Ning was a nine star genius, hence he naturally had to return a bow. The black robed Lu Jiazhi also stepped forward, and spoke to Mo Wuji with a slight smile, "Immortal Friend Mo, you still owe me a favour." After finishing his sentence, Lu Jiazhi sent a message to Mo Wuji, "Bai Chitian and that beast was burnt away by me. That was one of your works right?" Hearing that, Mo Wuji laughed, directly replying, "Even though I don¡¯t understand what Dao Friend Lu is saying, I¡¯m definitely befriending you now." No matter what method was used, there was no way that he would admit to killing someone from the Vast Ocean Immortal School. Yi Ning and Lu Jiazhi were all nine star geniuses, and both of them had gone forward to get acquainted with Mo Wuji, while Fu Bei was chased away by a single slash of Mo Wuji, so Gu Zijian couldn¡¯t just step out to ask to split the seven pages of the Book of Luo. On top of that, Gua Yi was completely forgotten too. As for Huan Xiuran, he had faced off against Mo Wuji once before at the Transfer Tower, hence there was even less of a chance for him to speak up at all. Thus, after Chen Jushan stopped bringing up the topic, the issue of the seven pages of the Book of Luo had resolved itself just like that. Those who originally could receive a part of the seven pages of the Book of Luo did not make any moves, much less others not involved at all. After all, even if they butted their heads into this issue, they would receive no part of the seven pages of the Book of Luo. Some cultivators also secretly respected Mo Wuji for not wavering in the presence of the seven pages of the Book of Luo. If it were anyone else, he/she would not be like Mo Wuji, being so calm when facing the seven pages of the Book of Luo. Some people even thought that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want others to lay their hands on the seven pages of the Book of Luo so that he could take it all for himself when he would eventually become alone with Murong Xiangyu. As she saw all these events unravel in front of her, Murong Xiangyu was pleasantly surprised. Before all this, she had thought of igniting her vitality and life force to run away, but who knew that Mo Wuji would have appeared at the 11th hour. Moreover, with his overbearing presence, even nine star geniuses were in no position to negotiate regarding the seven pages of the Book of Luo. This was the person that she eliminated from her choices of dao companion first? The surprised Murong Xiangyu suddenly felt like her judgment in the past was flawed. As she thought of the way that Mo Wuji treated her in the past, a warm feeling emerged inside her heart. Mo Wuji had hidden his skills so well, and had such strength, so wasn¡®t he the best candidate for her to fall in love with? Moreover, she was originally Mo Wuji¡¯s wife, hence it would be logical for her to fall in love with him, and no doubts would leave in her heart either. Indeed, the best things were always under her nose all this while, but she had been searching all over the world for them. "Senior Brother Mo, how should we split the immortal essence crystals and immortal herbs then?" Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Zuo Yixian was the first to walk over to ask about this issue while bowing respectfully. Previously, Chen Jushan said that Yong Ying Immortal Domain could get one part, but would get the last pick. Although he had protested that decision, without strength, there was no use in protesting. Bowing respectfully to the crowd, Mo Wuji declared, "Fellow immortal friends, the seal here doesn¡¯t look like it has been broken before. Why don¡¯t everyone break it together, before splitting the goods evenly?" "I agree." Zuo Yixian was the first to step out. Yong Ying Immortal Domain did not have a true expert, so since Mo Wuji had appeared, he would not miss out on such an opportunity. The suggestion that Mo Wuji made was very reasonable, but if an ordinary person suggested it, the idea would have been thrown out by geniuses like Chen Jushan. However, since it had been Mo Wuji who brought it up, no one dared to protest against it. Just based on his hidden titles, no one dared to make any rash moves. Those who wanted to find out the identity of Mo Wuji started asking those who had known Mo Wuji in the past, but after the Fu Bei incident, no one dared to speak about it. Even though Mo Wuji did not mind his identity being exposed, but those who knew him did mind. They had arduously obtained his pledge to refine pills, and if they were to offend Mo Wuji, their ending would be similar to Fu Bei and that cultivator that had been chased away. As for Chen Jushan, he had been killed before his the discussion regarding his suggestion had started. "Yan¡­ Wuji¡­" Murong Xiangyu walked to Mo Wuji¡¯s side, speaking with a shivering voice. You could not compare a person with another. When in the presence of Mo Wuji, regardless of whether it was Qiao Qianyan or Gu Zijian, in Murong Xiangyu¡¯s eyes, all of them paled in comparison to him. "What is it now?" Mo Wuji frowned. This woman was someone he really did not want to have any dealings with. "Thank you for the help, if it were not for you¡­" Raising his hand, Mo Wuji interrupted Murong Xianyu¡¯s sentence, "You previously helped me once before, so there¡¯s no need to thank me. We¡¯ve now canceled out our debts to each other. On top of that, even if it were someone else, I probably would have helped him too." He was not boasting here. When he had the ability, it would not be uncommon to help out in such things. "I¡¯m sorry, back then on the street¡­" As Murong Xiangyu spoke, she asked herself whether she should ask for the marriage certificate back. With another wave of his hand, Mo Wuji responded, "Don¡¯t bring up the past, I¡¯ve forgotten all about it. I¡¯m not Yan Ye. I¡¯m Mo Wuji." Murong Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained control of her senses and emotions, "Senior Brother Wuji, I shouldn¡¯t have returned the marriage certificate to you, otherwise we would still be¡­" Speechless, Mo Wuji stared at the woman standing before him. Was this woman a few straws short, or did she have no EQ at all? "Murong Xiangyu, I just said not to bring up matters of the past. Moreover, you¡¯re part of the Supreme Dao Sect, so don¡¯t come too close to me. I hate your sect. As for whatever game you want to play, there are many people who are willing to play it with you, just don¡¯t come looking for me. You don¡¯t have to worry anymore either. I believe that at least in this place, no one would dare to make a move against you, but of course how long you can survive will ultimately be determined by you." After Mo Wuji casually spoke, he was too lazy to bother about Murong Xiangyu any further. He was also aware that Murong Xiangyu was not someone that eyed influential people, but it was due to her cultivation in the Supreme Dao that caused her to lose all of her EQ. This could be concluded just based on her returning the marriage certificate on the street. No logic or emotions would get through to such a woman, and as for accepting Murong Xiangyu¡¯s gratitude, it was something he never even considered in the first place. Chapter 530: The Incident In Broken World Chapter 530: The Incident In Broken World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, it seemed as though as Murong Xiangyu had hit a pressure point, causing her to be stunned for a moment. She did not feel ashamed of herself, as she would not have brought up the topic of reinstating their marriage if she was. Anyone with the slightest amount of EQ wouldn¡¯t have been in such a rush to restart her relationship with Mo Wuji. However, Murong Xiangyu did not do so. The way she treated emotions was like a calculative official. Once she realised that there was the smallest mistake in her decision, she would immediately reverse it completely. If it were in business, such an approach would be feasible, but for matters of the heart, how could it be anything like a business? Just as Mo Wuji expected, the last of her EQ had been destroyed while cultivating with the Supreme Dao¡¯s cultivation technique. As Mo Wuji turned around to attack the defensive array with others, Murong Xiangyu stood there, rooted to the ground. Since the day she got to know Yan Ye, she never expected that he would ever reject her, and even in such a direct manner. The elation she had from obtaining the seven pages of the Book of Luo seemed to have died down by a low. "Immortal Friend Mo, how do we attack it?" Seeing that Mo Wuji had left Murong Xiangyu at one side, a Xuan Immortal cultivator quickly bowed respectfully while asking. Mo Wuji knew the intention of these people. This inhibition array was not that complex, so as long as everyone attacked together, it could be opened. But the reason that it had not been opened up till now, was because everyone knew that whoever made the first move would definitely incur the wrath of the rest of the crowd. Now that everyone was looking at him, because firstly he was rather mysterious, and secondly his act of blowing Fu Bei away with a slash shocked many people. "Everyone attack together, once we¡¯ve broken the restrictions, we¡¯ll split the spoils equally." Mo Wuji quickly swung his saber out, leading the charge. With mo Wuji starting first, the remaining people soon made their move too. In a short few tens of breath¡¯s time, the defensive array was completely blown open. Dense immortal spiritual energy gushed out, which made Mo Wuji take in a deep breath. After advancing to Xuan Immortal, he understood very well that in the near future, it would be difficult for him to advance his cultivation level any further. If he could cultivate in this immortal essence pond for a few years, perhaps he might have had the chance to advance to Grand Yi immortal Stage. It was a pity that this immortal essence pond was not his, belonging to hundreds of people. Although immortal essence crystals and high grade immortal herbs were all good stuff, no one went to snatch anything since the defensive array had been blown open. Seeing that no one made any move, Mo Wuji said, "There are 302 immortal friends here, and there are over 10,000 immortal essence crystals. Everyone, please queue up to collect your share. For the first round, each of you will get 300 crystals, and any excess will be redistributed again." This method of sharing the crystals was fair and just, so no one had anything to say about it. Even though a few of the top geniuses were unhappy, what could they do? Mo Wuji was so strong, but yet didn¡¯t give anyone preferential treatment. The three hundred over cultivators very quickly finished splitting the immortal essence crystals there, and each of them obtained 320 crystals. Those with lower cultivation levels were the most shocked, as they had never obtained resources so easily since the day they started cultivating. Other than this occasion, when did they obtain any treasure without a fight? After the crystals were distributed out, everyone waited for Mo Wuji to speak. Without hesitation, Mo Wuji stood out and explained his plan for the immortal herbs, "Everyone, there are Tier 6, 7, and 8 immortal herbs here. There are the fewest Tier 8 herbs, with only slightly over 10, while there are the most Tier 6 herbs, and about a hundred Tier 7 herbs too. I have a request of my own for the herbs. If everyone doesn¡¯t mind, I would like to get more Tier 7 immortal herbs. I don¡¯t want any Tier 8 or 6 herbs." There was simply too few Tier 8 immortal herbs, so they were not of much use to Mo Wuji. He also had large amounts of Tier 6 herbs with him, which was sufficient for him to advance to Tier 6 Immortal Pill King. Thus, to Mo Wuji, what he lacked the most was Tier 7 immortal herbs, because only with an abundance of them would he be able to advance to Tier 7 Pill Emperor. While there were many treasures in Broken World, in reality, immortal herbs of Tier 7 and above were not that easily obtainable. As Mo Wuji had the strength, and a mysterious background, when it came to asking everyone to give up the Tier 7 immortal herbs, no one dared to speak up. When everyone benefitted, they felt that Mo Wuji was rather decent, especially those weaker people. But once their rewards were threatened, nothing was for sure. If there were many Tier 8 immortal herbs around, then it wouldn¡¯t have mattered what Mo Wuji said. However, now there were only slightly over 10 stalks of Tier 8 immortal herbs, so it didn¡¯t matter whether Mo Wuji wanted them or not. The crucial part was that Tier 7 immortal herbs were much more valuable than Tier 6 ones. They were nowhere close to being on the same level. Sometimes, not even a hundred stalks of Tier 6 immortal herbs could be exchanged for one stalk of Tier 7 immortal herb. Since no one spoke up, Zuo Yixian stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "I, Zuo Yixian, representing Yong Ying Immortal Domain, hereby announce that Yong Ying Immortal Domain gives up on the Tier 7 immortal herbs, and will give all of them to Brother Mo." In his heart, Zuo Yixian was very clear of his intentions. If it weren¡¯t for Mo Wuji, Yong Yong Immortal Domain wouldn¡¯t have gotten any Tier 7 immortal herbs, and even for the immortal essence crystal, each of them would be given only slightly more than 10. With Zuo Yixian taking the lead, all cultivators from Yong Ying Immortal Domain agreed with the decision. The weaker cultivators from other immortal domains also began giving up their rights to Tier 7 immortal herbs. After all, even if the Tier 7 immortal herbs were split evenly, each person would get one third of a stalk, while giving up one¡¯s share would give Mo Wuji a good impression of them. Out of 320 people, over 170 gave up on Tier 7 immortal herbs. In the end, Mo Wuji obtained over 50 stalks of Tier 7 immortal herbs alone, which was barely sufficient for him to advance to Grade 7 Pill Emperor. With his current level of pill dao, if he could find a more Tier 7 immortal herbs, it would guarantee his advancement. Mo Wuji happily kept the Tier 7 immortal herbs that he needed, and automatically became the host again, helping everyone split the remaining immortal herbs, before finally bowing respectfully, "A big thanks to all those who gave me their immortal herbs. I¡¯ll definitely remember this favour. I have a small shop in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, so if you go there to buy pills in the future, you¡¯ll all get a discount. For those rarer pills, you can come to look for me personally too." Upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, everyone immediately expressed their gratitude. Regardless whether what he said was true, using one third of a Tier 7 immortal herb to exchange for such a benefit was not a bad thing. Even if it were a lie, what could they have done with one third of an immortal herb anyway? Mo Wuji then added on," It has been fate that brought us together today. I bade all of you farewell. Let¡¯s meet again in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." Everyone bowed respectfully and exchanged goodbyes, but just as they were about to leave in search of more treasure, a piercing scream echoed through the air, "I didn¡¯t touch anything¡­ I didn¡¯t touch anything¡­" This shocked the whole group of people, and all of them turned towards the source of the scream. A bloodied cultivator with his internal organs hanging outside was charging over frantically. He was screaming as he ran, which made the cultivators around silent. This cultivator had a shattered divine spirit and no light in his eyes, an obvious sign that he was dead. Indeed, before he could approach the group, he fell to the ground with a ¡®thump¡¯, losing all signs of life. "What thick fog¡­| A cultivator suddenly exclaimed. There was no need for more words, as everyone could see it. The originally clearly visible ruins were covered with a layer of thick fog which even made it impossible to see the person right in front of you. "My spiritual will can¡¯t extend out for more than a few hundred meters¡­" Another cultivator exclaimed as well. A veil of silence fell upon the group, and they bunched up together subconsciously. It was not only one guy¡¯s, but everyone¡¯s spiritual will that could not extend beyond a few hundred meters. "Ah...." A bloodcurdling cry came from afar before silence took its place once again. "Everyone, something must have happened, so let''s stay here for the time being. If we group up, we¡¯ll have strength in numbers¡­" Huan Xiuran of Heaven Accordance Island loudly declared. Just as he finished speaking, a few more similar cries echoed out, this time seemingly from a nearby location. This caused everyone to be on edge. Even the weakest cultivator out of all present was at the Great Circle of Golden Immortal Stage, and they were in the minority. Over 70% of the cultivators were Xuan Immortal experts. In the fog, when a Xuan Immortal was killed, he would only be able to let out a scream, or not even that at all, hence showing how scary this fog was. "Immortal Friend Mo, what do you think of this situation?" Lu Jiazhi immediately turned to Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji had taught Fu Bei a lesson, he felt that his strength was still a little lower than Mo Wuji¡¯s. He even suspected whether Mo Wuji was also at the Great Circle of Xuan Immortal like himself, only with a better concealment technique, thus being able to pass off as an ordinary cultivator. When Lu Jiazhi asked his question, everyone¡¯s gazes fell onto Mo Wuji too. In response, Mo Wuji spoke while staring at a broken building not far off, "I have two ideas. The first is that everyone starts escaping in all directions, and whoever is lucky will make it out. The second is for us to immediately go into that building, make it more complete, and set up some defensive arrays. After that, we¡¯ll do some investigating before making a move." In reality, Mo Wuji had already felt the danger that lay in the fog. Even if it were him, he would not be able to find the source of this danger. Once Monk Yi Ning heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he instantly replied, "Of course we¡¯ll go into that dilapidated hall." While he spoke, he had already made the first move towards the hall. Only a fool would choose to escape at a time like this. Seeing Monk Yi Ning move over, everyone followed suit. Mo Wuji also went along into the dilapidated hall. This time, there was no need for Mo Wuji to say much. All of them began to fix up the hall on their own, and within an hour, it was almost completed. Mo Wuji also took out some array flags to start setting up defensive arrays. He could not find any friends to help him either, as no one had the ability to match up with his current level of array dao. Some people automatically took out the materials for forging array flags when they saw Mo Wuji starting to set up arrays. In half a day¡¯s time, Mo Wuji had completed the setting up of defensive arrays for the hall. Only then did Mo Wuji realise that out of the 300 over people before, only 230 remained in the hall. Chapter 531: I Didn’t Move Chapter 531: I Didn¡¯t Move Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao Friend Mo, I didn¡¯t expect that you were an immortal array master," After Mo Wuji taught Chen Jushan a lesson, Chen Jushan actually smiled and took the initiative to talk to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said faintly, "There are many more things that you wouldn¡¯t expect." Mo Wuji had no intention to befriend a person like Chen Jushan. This was simply because he wasn¡¯t Murong Xiangyu¡¯s real husband and he had no liking towards Murong Xiangyu at all. If he was the true Yan Ye or liked Murong Xiangyu, he would return a fist simply because Chen Jushan injured Murong Xiangyu so badly. When facing against Mo Wuji, Chen Jushan couldn¡¯t do anything even if he was unhappy with him. The fog outside the hall appeared a little suspicious and Mo Wuji could sense the impending dangers within. After installing the defensive array for the hall, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to find the most suitable place within the hall to install another smaller scale defensive array as well as installing a concealment array for this defensive array. There was simply no need to hold back in a dangerous place like this. After noticing how Mo Wuji found a spot to install a defensive and concealment array before entering his array, the rest of the cultivators followed suit. Even though the hall was big, when over 200 people started finding their own turf simultaneously, this big hall was emptied out very quickly. Those with lower cultivation level could only place themselves closer to the entrance of the array of the hall. Gu Zijian walked over to Murong Xiangyu before saying, "Xiangyu, I was simply too weak to stand up for you earlier on. I was hoping to receive a piece of the Book of Luo before passing it to you and I certainly didn¡¯t expect that I need not do so anymore." No matter how poor Murong Xiangyu¡¯s EQ was, she was still able to differentiate the truth and lies so all she did was to look at Gu Zijian faintly, "Many thanks to Senior Brother Gu then." After saying this, she immediately activated her concealment restriction over her own spot. Even though Chen Jushan was not held in high regard by Mo Wuji and was in fact a little fearful of Mo Wuji, Chen Jushan would never be afraid of her. Moreover, Murong Xiangyu could sense that a few spiritual wills were still revolving around her area and she had a feeling that the moment Mo Wuji left this place, she wouldn¡¯t last long here. Therefore, after Mo Wuji chose his turf, she immediately chose a spot right next to Mo Wuji. Noticing how Murong Xiangyu was no longer interested in talking to him, Gu Zijian started to feel gloomy and didn¡¯t continue wasting time as he started setting up his defensive and concealment array in his own spot. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to find a way to leave this place yet and so were the others. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji entered his own concealed restriction, he took out his immortal essence crystals to cultivate. Indeed, he realised that the use of the immortal essence crystals to cultivate was indeed fast but the number of immortal essence crystals he had was way too little. Even if he were to exhaust all 300 over immortal essence crystals, he might not be able to advance into the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji still had no clue as to how to leave this place yet so he could only sigh as he stopped cultivating. After which, he took out a pile of Tier 5 immortal herbs to start concocting some pills. After over a month¡¯s time, Mo Wuji was a little unhappy as he kept his pill furnace with most of his Tier 5 and 6 immortal herbs were completely exhausted. Presently, he was indeed able to concoct unique grade Tier 5 immortal pills but even after this one month and the great amount of Tier 6 immortal herbs used, he could only concoct low grade Tier 6 immortal pills. In fact, it was the easiest Immortal Copious Pill. This meant that he still had a lot of distance to cover before he could concoct a furnace of unique grade Tier 6 immortal pills. As for concocting Tier 7 immortal pills, it was too still too far away for him. From learning about pill concoction to having his own Pill Dao, Mo Wuji never had any problems advancing the levels of Pill Dao. It was only a little more taxing when he was advancing from a Tier 4 Pill King to a Tier 5 Pill King but it was still nothing compared to advancing into a Tier 6 Pill King. Moreover, he was not even considered to be a Tier 6 Pill King yet. Mo Wuji recalled his way of cultivation and all the way before he advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, his cultivation progress was all smooth sailing. Truth be told, the hardest part for Mo Wuji was when he was trying to open his meridians. After the opening of meridians was successful, he had never experienced a true bottleneck when cultivating. If he must name a bottleneck, it would be the fact that he was always lacking in cultivation resources. If Mo Wuji had sufficient resources, he would be able to continue advancing through the stages. It was solely because of this mindset which led to his carelessness when trying to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage as he didn¡¯t even prepare any Calamity Crossing Pill. As a result of that, he almost failed his tribulation or in other words, he would have failed his tribulation if not for his good fortune to have met the Three-eyed Dove who wanted to frame him. After that incident, Mo Wuji would always prepare a large amount of immortal pills and resources whenever he was preparing to advance to the next stage. One example would be how he used six unique grade Xuan Crossing Pills at once when he was advancing to the Xuan Immortal Stage. It could be said that if he wasn¡¯t a pill king, who would be able to use pills as luxuriously as he did? If it was any other cultivator, they would have been stuck in the Golden Immortal Stage or they would be looking to collect Xuan Crossing Pills crazily. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold as he simply overlooked the problem when he first tried to advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Afterwards, it was only because he was a pill king that he managed to advance so smoothly. The truth was that there was a huge hidden danger which he had yet to resolve. If he had such a hard time trying to advance into the Xuan Immortal Stage alone, how was he supposed to advance into the Grand Yi or Immortal Emperor Stage in the future? This time as he faced the same bottleneck when trying to advance to become a Tier 6 Pill King as during his Heavenly Immortal tribulation, Mo Wuji sounded the warning bell in his head. He realised that whether it was his cultivation or pill dao, once it reached a certain standard, it would stagnate and advancing would be much tougher than before. If he needed six Xuan Crossing Pills just to cross into the Xuan Immortal Stage, how many Grand Yi True Pill would he need to advance into the Grand Yi Stage? 10 or maybe 100? What about advancing into the Grand Zhi Stage or the Grand Luo Heavenly Celestial Stage? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to continue pondering about it because so what if he managed to advance at the expense of a full basket of immortal pills? As a pill refiner, Mo Wuji was clearer than anyone else of the side effects of the immortal pill. Pills could turn into poison and it was never a good thing to consume too many pills as overconsuming could cause converged spirit channels and weakened spiritual roots. Whatever the cause of this current bottleneck was, Mo Wuji was not willing to try again. Mo Wuji failed to become a Tier 6 Pill King even after exhausting almost over a 1000 Tier 6 herbs; no other pill refiners would be this extravagant except for a few incredibly wealthy pill refiners. He only needed about 300 immortal herbs to become a Tier 5 Pill King while he used 1000 Tier 6 immortal herbs and still failed to become a Tier 6 Pill King. So how many Tier 7 immortal herbs would he need to advance to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor? Forget about thousands of Tier 7 immortal herbs because even 1000 Tier 7 immortal herbs were enough to make a sect go bankrupt. Additionally, the difference in the gap between a Tier 5 and 6 Pill King was simply not comparable to the difference between a Tier 6 Pill King and a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. Mo Wuji sighed as he realised that he was simply too idealistic previously. The reason why there were so little pill emperors around was that the difficulties in advancing to become a pill emperor were something he could never imagine. After tidying up a little, Mo Wuji walked out of his concealment array. Mo Wuji was astonished as he walked out. He knew for sure that there were over 200 people in this hall but he could only see over 20 people left here. Where did everyone else go? Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan and he could sense that the fog was still there. "Senior Brother Mo, you are finally out," An average built, ordinary looking young cultivator greeted Mo Wuji the moment he noticed him. Mo Wuji asked, "Immortal Friend Zuo, why are there so little people left? What happened to everyone else?" Mo Wuji recognised Zuo Yixian as a cultivator from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and felt that he was a decent person. The reason why he was able to receive over 50 Tier 7 immortal herbs was mainly because Zuo Yixian stood out to speak for him. "The fog here will disappear after a while and when the people saw that the fog disappeared, most of them left," Zuo Yixian hurried to explain. "So why are the rest of you still here?" Mo Wuji was even more curious. He understood why Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t leave but didn¡¯t understand why the rest of them were still here. Murong Xiangyu still had seven pages of the Book of Luo so it would make sense if she wouldn¡¯t dare to leave alone. Zuo Yixian waved his hand and the remaining cultivators all gathered around before he spoke, "These are the cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and while a portion of them left with Gui Yi from the Supreme Dao Sect, the rest of them were willing to stay back with me. I was hoping to greet you after you come out but we didn¡¯t expect the fog to come back so soon after disappearing. The fog was still on and off and so we were glad we didn¡¯t leave because otherwise, we might not be able to return even if we wanted to. Mo Wuji understood his intentions instantly. Murong Xiangyu didn¡¯t leave because she didn¡¯t dare to leave but Zuo Yixian didn¡¯t leave was simply because he was worried Mo Wuji would not understand why no one else was around after he came out from his closed doors. Mo Wuji patted on Zuo Yixian¡¯s shoulder and said, "Thank you and I will definitely befriend a person like Brother Zuo. I am pretty reputable at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and even opened a small pill house called the Tian Ji Pill Court. Whenever Brother Zuo needs help in the future, feel free to visit my Tian Ji Pill Court." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Zuo Yixian said yes excitedly. No matter what Mo Wuji¡¯s origins was, Zuo Yixian could tell from Mo Wuji¡¯s performance earlier that even if his father, castellan of the Sea Canopy Immortal City, Zuo Qianwei were to visit the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he might not be as reputable as Mo Wuji. Befriending a strong figure like Mo Wuji would only benefit him and not do him any harm. "Everyone do not worry because if others could leave this place, I would be able to bring everyone out. Staying here is not a plan for the long term so wait for me to check this out," Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards everyone around him. After saying this, Mo Wuji walked to the position of the array entrance and before he opened up the defensive array, the fog retreated. A few corpses were seen on the floor and from their clothing, Mo Wuji was able to tell that these corpses belonged to those cultivators who were with him split the immortal essence crystals. The only abnormality was that the storage rings of these cultivators were all missing. "Big Brother Mo, the fog had been like this and it will come back soon," Zuo Yixian explained to Mo Wuji as he saw Mo Wuji staring out. Because Mo Wuji had already befriended him, he immediately changed the way he addressed Mo Wuji to Big Brother Mo. It was truly an honour to be able to call a person who could oppress a Nine Star Genius his Big Brother. "I didn¡¯t move¡­ I didn¡¯t move¡­" A staggering silhouette was coming over from afar and it was the same fella Mo Wuji saw. Mo Wuji was prepared this time around and before that fella¡¯s primordial spirit disappeared completely, Mo Wuji charged over and used his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to protect the depleted primordial spirit. Concurrently, Mo Wuji sent some vitality using his vitality channel to stabilise this fella¡¯s small life. Chapter 532: The Origins of Yong Ying Prison Chapter 532: The Origins of Yong Ying Prison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s prompt help, this cultivator¡¯s primordial spirit stopped slackening and his vitality stopped fading away too as Mo Wuji dragged him into the hall. Just a brief moment later, the fog outside started to rise again. "I¡¯m still alive?" The cultivator looked around and said in disbelief. Very soon after, he realised the extremely bad state his body was in. Mo Wuji took out a Tier 5 immortal pill and placed it into the cultivator¡¯s mouth before saying, "If I didn¡¯t rescue you, you would have been dead. Please tell us what happened to you?" The cultivator was finally stabilised as he looked at Mo Wuji and then the other cultivators around him, took a deep breath before saying in a calm tone, "There is a Golden House in front which is emitting golden light all around it. The house was full of peak grade pills, magic treasures, techniques¡­" The cultivator only spoke till here before his lips revealed a strange smile. Mo Wuji sensed that something was amiss but before he could do anything, this cultivator fell to the ground with blood flowing out even from the corner of his eyes as his expression turned black, dead. Mo Wuji raised his hand and a flame turned this cultivator into flying ashes. Mo Wuji was surprised at the strength of the dao as all he saw was the cultivator depleting vitality and primordial spirit. What he didn¡¯t notice was that this cultivator was already severely poisoned. When he touched the cultivator, Mo Wuji only managed to stabilise his primordial spirit but because his detoxification channel had no reaction, he didn¡¯t even think that this cultivator would have the toxin in him. This toxin must not be simple because even his detoxification channel wasn¡¯t able to sense it immediately. "Big Brother Mo, what happened?" Zuo Yixian hurried forward to inquire as the rest of the cultivators came closer to find out what had happened too. Mo Wuji said discreetly, "According to this person, there should be a Golden House with a lot of good items in front. My guess is that one shouldn¡¯t enter this house and the moment one enters, one would end up like him. Additionally, there is even a strong toxic in this Golden House so we must not touch anyone who comes out from this Golden House." "So are we going out now?" Another cultivator asked. Mo Wuji nodded, "We can¡¯t stay here for long so we have to leave sooner or later. When we are out, everyone please try to stick closer to each other so we can look out for one another." "When are we leaving?" Another cultivator from the crowd asked. "There is no hurry. We shall wait for the fog to retreat once more before leaving," Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on Zuo Yixian and called out, "Yixian, since you address me as a big brother, I shall not stand on any ceremony with you." Zuo Yixian had been cultivating since day one and was even a Star Grade Genius so now that Mo Wuji said something like this, he knew that Mo Wuji needed his help with something so he replied instantly, "As long as it is within my capabilities, Big Brother Mo can assign me to any task." Mo Wuji chuckled, "Don¡¯t worry, it is not so serious as I just wanted to ask some questions. Your status in Yong Ying Immortal Domain should be quite decent right?" Zuo Yixian responded, "Yes, I am the young castellan of the Sea Canopy Immortal City and the Sea Canopy Immortal City is considered a Heavenly Emperor city out of all the Yong Ying Immortal Cities so we are indeed quite powerful." "Alright, I shall ask you a few questions then. The first question is do you know about the immortal lattice stones?" Mo Wuji did not rush to ask the second question because the reason why he could even ask this question was due to the status he had now. After asking this question, Mo Wuji looked towards the rest of the cultivators, "Everyone can wait at the entrance of the array and the moment I settle things here, I will bring everyone out." The majority of them were interested in the conversation but didn¡¯t continue standing there as most of them retreated to the entrance as per instructed by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji noticed that other than Murong Xiangyu, a round face cultivator didn¡¯t retreat like the rest of them. Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask him, the round face cultivator clasped his fist and said to Mo Wuji, "Big Brother Mo, I am Cang Heng, a disciple of the Virtual Qing Dao. I have some understandings of the immortal lattice stones so I stayed behind to answer Big Brother Mo¡¯s question." Zuo Yixian, who was standing by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, hurried to explain, "Big Brother Mo, the Virtual Qing Dao that Cang Heng is in is one of biggest few sects in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Senior Sister Nong Xiaoyu of the same sect was already in the intermediate Grand Yi Stage. As an Eight Star Genius, she was one of the peak talents of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. In fact, the Virtual Qing Dao was located in the Yong Ying Immortal City so Cang Heng would naturally know more about the immortal lattice stones than I do." Murong Xiangyu hurried to explain too, "I know a bit of the immortal lattice stones too which was why I stayed behind too." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any objections as he carried on, "Since this is the case, can someone start explaining more about the immortal lattice stones?" Cang Heng took the initiative to speak, "Let me start by stating something all the Heavenly Immortal Stage experts know. Without the immortal lattice, one wouldn¡¯t be able to move on from the Heavenly Immortal Stage and the immortal lattice is a person¡¯s way of Immortal Dao. Only after condensing the immortal lattice, a person¡¯s Dao would be able to have a direction and an objective. In other words, one would have the true foundation of Immortal Dao. Immortal lattice stones were the most basic method for many Heavenly Immortals to condense their immortal lattice. The immortal lattice stone contains a type of heavenly dao energy so as long as one uses immortal lattice stones to condense the immortal lattice, one would be able to feel the nature¡¯s immortal way easily. However, it was very rare to get immortal lattice stones as most of the immortal lattice stones came from the Half Immortal Domain. I¡¯ve heard that a few Half Immortal Domains had fallen and turned into Immortal Chasm which made immortal lattice stones even rarer." "So all of you used immortal lattice stones to condense your immortal lattice too?" Mo Wuji asked. Zuo Yixian replied, "No, those with greater qualifications and status would normally not use immortal lattice stones to condense their immortal lattice." "Why not?" Mo Wuji blurted. Zuo Yixian explained, "This was because the origins of the immortal lattice stones was very mysterious. Rumours were that it came from the condensation of Dao insights of the ancient men of God. The moment someone used immortal lattice stones to condense his immortal lattice, he would have someone else Dao insights imprinted on him. It would not be consequential for cultivators with lower cultivation level but it would be problematic for stronger experts to advance even further if they were to be influenced by someone else¡¯s Dao insights." After pausing for a moment, Zuo Yixian continued, "Therefore, for most of us here, we feel for and be enlightened by nature¡¯s laws of heavenly dao before using peak grade cultivation resources to condense our immortal lattice. Of course, it would be extremely tough to condense your immortal lattice using this method as one would need to have a certain power of understanding as well as great wealth. One cannot afford to lack either one of this condition." Mo Wuji felt a thump in his heart as some of his friends used immortal lattice stones to condense their immortal lattice. "The second question. Do any of you know about the Yong Ying Prison?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue asking about the immortal lattice stones as he inquired about the Yong Ying Prison immediately. He had long wanted to ask this question but simply couldn¡¯t find someone with great understanding of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. At the instance Mo Wuji asked this question, Zuo Yixian and Cang Heng¡¯s expressions changed and even Murong Xiangyu¡¯s expression turned strange. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and set up a sound insulation restriction before saying in a solemn voice, "If the few of you think that it is tough answering this question of mine, you can pretend that you didn¡¯t hear it. However, if you treat me as your friend, please answer me." Mo Wuji judged others based on how he would treat others. If he treated Zuo Yixian and co. as friends and if they were to ask him this question, he would not hesitate to answer them. If Zuo Yixian and co. were not willing to answer, he would stop asking. At the same time, he wouldn¡¯t continue treating the few of them as his true friends and would part with them after they made it out of here. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have many cunning plots when it came to making friends. If he could help, he would help and friends who only wanted benefits from him should stay far away from him. Cang He stood out, "I shall answer this as I know slightly more about this matter than Brother Zuo and Senior Sister Murong. The truth was that other than the big war, the decline of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was also due to the lack of reserve geniuses." Cang He was much more experienced than Murong Xiangyu but because of Mo Wuji, he even addressed Murong Xiangyu as Senior Sister Murong. Since this was the case, shouldn¡¯t we protect those geniuses who rose up from the cultivation world? Why lock them in the prison?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows. Cang He sighed, "The problem lies here. Most of the geniuses, who rose up to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, with no exception were disciples of those big sects. They cultivate in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain as they received a large amount of cultivation resources. After they reached a certain standard, they would leave the Yong Ying Immortal Domain in search of their own sect. In most instances, most of the sects don¡¯t belong in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. These genius disciples had terrifying talents and the rate of cultivation was faster than anyone else. After they found their own sect, the rate at which they grew stronger was even faster. Occasionally, the various immortal domains would have a war to fight for resources and just like this Broken World, there would definitely be more of such wars in the future. The homegrown genius cultivators and some disciples with potentials of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain would normally die in the hands of these experts who rose up from the cultivation world. These cultivators who rose up from the cultivation world were vicious, heartless and decisive in their methods of killing and they were definitely way stronger than the homegrown geniuses. Thousands of years ago, there was a Star Grade Genius called Huang Sha and he was one who rose to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain from the cultivation world. However, he was a disciple of the Great Sword Path of the Zero Heaven Immortal Domain. After he reached the Xuan Immortal Stage in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he entered his Great Sword Path in the Luo Ling Immortal Domain. During a battle in a secret domain, he single-handedly killed 317 genius disciples of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain causing the Yong Ying Immortal Domain to suffer a great damage to their overall elemental energy. As time passed, Yong Ying Immortal Domain got weaker and weaker and if this continued, the domain would be swallowed by other domains very soon. Therefore, the Yong Ying Heavenly Emperor and many sect heads of the peak sects discussed and decided to let cultivators who soared up from the world of cultivation to enter the Half Immortal Domain. In fact, the Half Immortal Domain has existed for many years and those who entered the Half Immortal Domain used to have opportunities to enter the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. They were only restricted many years later. The moment they were met with genius graded Four Star and above, they would be sent straight to the Yong Ying Prison." "Will those who make a blood oath in the Yong Ying Prison be released?" Mo Wuji was started to understand. Cang Heng sighed once more, "It was indeed like what you¡¯ve said. Those who made a blood oath to fight for Yong Ying Immortal Domain or to be a spy in their own sects for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain would be released to live for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain for all their life. However, most of the star grade geniuses were arrogant and proud individuals so they would never make such a vow as it would mean that they would constrain their Immortal Dao. Most of their concerns were not that they had to fight for their own sect but because they were not willing to constrain their Immortal Dao." Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t understand as he asked again, "Even if the Yong Ying Prison was hidden by the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, the Half Immortal Domain was not something that could stay hidden so why hadn¡¯t the other Immortal Domains come forward to intervene?" Chapter 533: The Golden House Chapter 533: The Golden House Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Cang Heng sneered, "Why would they bother about the lives of those who soared up from the cultivation world? The numbers didn¡¯t matter because even if there are a lot of cultivators soaring up from the cultivation world, the other domains wouldn¡¯t do anything. My master once told me that some sects knew about the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s filthy acts but chose not to do anything so that they could use it as an excuse to attack them in the future." Excuse to attack them? Mo Wuji understood it instantaneously. The calm looking Immortal World was actually filled with stormy incidents. Yong Ying Immortal Domain was a fatty piece of meat that everyone fancied and the reason why they didn¡¯t do anything yet was that all the other domains were still garnering their strength. The moment they believed they were strong enough, all their fangs would be exposed one after the other as they start biting Yong Ying Immortal Domain apart. No matter what the Yong Ying Immortal Domain did, they would definitely fall sooner or later. In fact, the Yong Ying Prison was not a secret at all as everyone was already well aware of its existence. Mo Wuji sighed and shook his head because the whole generation was filled with cunning people everywhere. These people knew that the disciples of their sects were being slaughtered or captured but pretended to be clueless, all because they wanted an excuse. If Mo Wuji was the sect head, this would never happen. If the disciples of his sect were being held back and slaughtered by the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he would fight his way to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain even if he, Mo Wuji, was the only member of the sect left. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold. Wasn¡¯t he from the Tian Ji Sect? Is the Tian Ji Sect still around? If the Tian Ji Sect was a big sect of other domains, isn¡¯t he just an ant that was abandoned by the Tian Ji Sect? If this was the case, why would he continue establishing the Tian Ji Sect here? They would be considered fortunate if he didn¡¯t burn the whole existing Tian Ji Sect personally. "Have any of you heard of Tian Ji Sect?" Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t hold back anymore as he simply shot out this question. At the thought of the Tian Ji Pill Court which Mo Wuji mentioned earlier on, Zuo Yixian and co. were starting to understand the situation. This time, Murong Xiangyu was the one who answered promptly, "My master told me about this sect before. Thousands of years ago, Tian Ji Sect was one of the many intermediate grade sects of the Luo Ling Immortal Domain. Afterwards, nobody knew what happened to it as it disappeared and eventually perished." "Big Brother Mo, even though there were rumours about the Yong Ying Prison¡¯s incident, this is still a top secret. I knew a little about this only because my master was involved in it so¡­" Cang Heng said with slight hesitation. Mo Wuji patted Cang Heng¡¯s shoulder, "Brother Cang Heng, there is no need to worry about me spilling the beans to others. The fog has subsided yet again so everyone please follow me out of this place." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Zuo Yixian shouted to the rest of the cultivators, "We will follow Big Brother Mo out of this place now. Everyone, please remember to try your best to not walk off on your own." Even without Zuo Yixian¡¯s reminder, no one would be foolish enough to separate from the crowd. After leaving the hall, Mo Wuji walked in front of everyone else. A while after the group of them walked out of the hall, the fog started moving towards them again. Everyone drew out their immortal equipment as they observed for any slight movements of the surrounding. Mo Wuji tried to use his spiritual will to seep through the fog but realised that his spiritual will was repressed immediately. Previously when he was not within the fog, he could clearly see the range of which the fog covered. Now that he was within the fog itself, he couldn¡¯t use his spiritual will to see anything at all. Almost without further consideration, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and then extended his spiritual will from the spirit storage channel at the same time. What made Mo Wuji relieved was that the spiritual will of his spirit storage channel was much more effective than the spiritual will of his sea of consciousness as it could see far beyond the fog. As for his spiritual eye, nothing within the fog could even think about hiding from it. "My spiritual will is being repressed and I can¡¯t use it at all. It feels like I¡¯m walking with my eyes shut," Zuo Yixian was the first to exclaim. "Mine too," Following Zuo Yixian was everyone else¡¯s panicky voice. Everyone started to feel terrified because even if most of them were Xuan Immortals, none of them could hide their fears as they were simply walking through the unknown blindly. Mo Wuji said in a deep voice, "Everyone stop worrying and follow me by listening to my footsteps. I am still in control of the situation temporarily and there is no danger yet." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s confident voice, the terrified experts started to calm themselves down. They were still on guard as they grabbed onto their magic treasures as they followed closely behind Mo Wuji. What made Mo Wuji astonished was that after traveling for over one hour with 20 people behind him, they didn¡¯t meet a single danger. Other than not being able to use one¡¯s spiritual will, this fog seemed normal. "Big Brother Mo, other than not being able to use our spiritual will, there seemed to be nothing dangerous," Zuo Yixian also realised that after walking for some time, they still had their full strength accounted for. Mo Wuji retracted his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will, continued walking for over an hour and everyone was still safe. "Golden House!" Cang Heng shouted to everyone¡¯s surprise. Cang Heng wasn¡¯t the only one who saw the Golden House as all the other cultivators saw the Golden House in front of them too. They might not be able to see anything else in this fog but this Golden House was simply too eye-catching. It was almost like a sun which could emit golden radiance. Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks while everyone else had already walked closer to the Golden House. Other than emitting out golden radiance in all four directions, the Golden House had no entrance. Rather, the front of this Golden House had no wall and everything inside could be seen in one glance. "Oh my god, Grade 9 immortal equipment, Tier 9 immortal pills and what is that? The legendary Grade 12 Red Karmic Fire Lotus? And also the True Fill World¡­" Countless of treasures were displayed within the house and the poorest one was also a Grade 9 immortal equipment. Even Mo Wuji was extremely interested in one of the pill furnace he saw. Someone within the group exclaimed but several cultivators had forgotten that this was the Golden House, a place where people died easily. Some cultivators had already walked towards the Golden House unknowingly as greed filled their minds. It was true that if they managed to get their hands on just one item alone would result in vast changes to their life and they could finally become a true peerless expert. Truth be told, the Grade 12 Red Karmic Lotus was even better than the Book of Luo. Moreover, the Book of Luo with Murong Xiangyu only had seven pages while this Red Karmic Lotus was a complete treasure. "Everyone calm yourself down," Mo Wuji shouted at everyone immediately. Mo Wuji managed to resist the temptations as he had opened his meridians to cultivate, reversed the immortal mortal technique and even created a world that belonged to himself so his willpower was naturally much stronger than most cultivators. The several cultivators woke up from their daze and forced themselves to stop moving towards the Golden House. Even with his warning, three cultivators rushed into the Golden House madly as they grabbed the treasure they fancied the most. What shocked Mo Wuji was that one of them actually managed to grab a magic treasure and even managed to run out of the Golden House with the treasure. The other two didn¡¯t grab any magic treasure as they simply ran out of the Golden House for unknown reasons. Could the magic treasures within this Golden House be real? Was it not just an illusion? The three of them dashed out of the Golden House with a drastic change in expression and all their pupils started to dilate. The cultivator with the treasure quickly threw it away and started running for their lives like the other two cultivators. They didn¡¯t even respond to the shouting of Mo Wuji and the rest. Before Mo Wuji could use his spiritual will to scan the treasure that was thrown onto the ground, it flew straight back to its original position. "Gulp!" A cultivator swallowed some spittle and said with a dry throat, "Those treasure are real." "I didn¡¯t take¡­ I didn¡¯t take¡­" At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will heard the three of them screaming repeatedly as they continued running away. "This Golden House is definitely strange," Zuo Yixian said with a clear voice as even he couldn¡¯t control himself at the sight of those treasures earlier on. In other words, if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t call out for him, he could have entered the Golden House already. This Golden House had neither any restrictions nor illusion arrays so every cultivator would be tempted. "There is indeed something strange about this house because even I didn¡¯t manage to see what illusion array it was. Everyone waits for me outside and I will go in to take a look," Mo Wuji said in a serious tone. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really want to risk his life but even he was tempted by the Grade 12 Red Karmic Lotus. Previously, he had only heard about this from fairy tales and even he didn¡¯t expect it to exist. He wasn¡¯t sure if this was real or not but Mo Wuji was certain that many items in the Golden House were real. Seeing Mo Wuji about to enter the Golden House, Murong Xiangyu opened her mouth wanting to stop Mo Wuji. However, she recalled how she almost threw her life away for seven pages of the Book of Luo so why couldn¡¯t Mo Wuji risk his life for the treasure in the Golden House? Mo Wuji walked to the periphery of the Golden House and was only a step away from entering the Golden House when he heard a voice, "If you are willing to listen to me, leave this ruins immediately¡­ Given your strength now, you are not capable of taking away anything from here. Even if you are, it will chase and kill you for it¡­ Oh yes, thanks for helping me the other time and I have to leave now too. We will meet again if we are fated¡­" Who are you? Mo Wuji used his spiritual will but didn¡¯t notice anything peculiar. Whoever it was, Mo Wuji kept thinking who would warn him because he didn¡¯t even know anyone here. To have such a powerful sacred art to whisper and warn him in his eyes, this person must not be anyone simple. Just as Mo Wuji was still hesitating, a few others dashed past Mo Wuji into the Golden House. Following the few of them, even more cultivators rushed into the Golden House. The first group of people came from other places while the next few were cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain who had followed Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath, sighed and retreated instead of entering. Mo Wuji indeed had the spirit storage channel, detoxification channel and even the vitality channel but if someone was controlling this Golden House, even if he could detoxify poison, he was still only in the Xuan Immortal Stage. "Big Brother Mo, aren¡¯t you going in?" Mo Wuji took a few steps back and Zuo Yixuan went forward to ask. Before Mo Wuji could reply, the numerous cultivators who rushed into the Golden House ran out as if they had lost their mind and then disappeared far away. Mo Wuji looked at the remaining cultivators and said without any shreds of hesitation, "We will leave now." Finishing his order, he turned and led the group away from the Golden House. The treasures in the Golden House might be good but only those who were capable could obtain it. Perhaps when he became stronger in the future, other experts might have taken everything in this Golden House but Mo Wuji would not regret the decision he made today. Chapter 534: Wind Beckoning Chapter 534: Wind Beckoning Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Big Brother Mo, I couldn¡¯t even tell which direction we are heading to. Are you sure we can get out by walking in this direction?" Cang Heng was completely lost as all he could do was to follow behind Mo Wuji. He simply couldn¡¯t find any clue as to where they were in the middle of a ruins like this one. "I am confident we will be able to leave this place so just follow behind me," Mo Wuji replied with conviction. This fog might be an obstacle for the other cultivators but it was simply useless when faced with Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye. Occasionally, screams of cultivators could be heard but these screams lasted only for a while. Four hours later, Mo Wuji finally stopped. Following Mo Wuji were 12 other people and when he came to a halt, all 12 of them stopped in their tracks too. Everyone looked anxiously at Mo Wuji fearing that he might say he got lost. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t lost and not only was he not lost, he was aware that they simply needed to walk a few more steps and they would be out of this ruins. The reason why he was in a daze was because he thought of the statue which was on the ground previously. Not only did Mo Wuji helped it up, he found its arm and even rebuild a new defensive array for it. Presently, the platform in which the statue was standing on was still around but the statue disappeared. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that someone took this statue away because not only was this an ordinary statue, he noticed that the defensive array which he installed was also perfectly intact with no traces of it being attacked. There were also no traces of the statue¡¯s residues around the platform of the statue. Mo Wuji walked towards the platform, bent over and touched the platform only to realise it was indeed built using ordinary stones. After standing on this platform for some time, Mo Wuji suddenly had a realisation. The reason why all of them were able to remain safe and sound throughout the journey was probably related to this statue. The voice that warned him earlier on could belong to the statue too. If a statue could talk to him and warn him of the dangers, the only possibility would be that this statue was not an actual statue but a human flesh which looked like a statue. The human body was broken into pieces on the floor and after bringing the body back to the platform, this platform should be the key for the body to recover its primordial spirit. No wonder the voice would mention about Mo Wuji helping him because if his guess was right, Mo Wuji really did help this statue. Previously, Mo Wuji chose to help this statue was purely because he felt that statue would have feelings too if not for their solidified heart. It seemed like one would indeed be on the receiving end of the help eventually when one chose to help others. "Big Brother Mo, are we lost?" Zuo Yixian asked as he was also in doubt as to why they stopped. Mo Wuji stood up slowly before saying, "Let¡¯s walk, we are going out now." After saying this, Mo Wuji only took a few steps and was finally out of this ruins. The remaining of them followed Mo Wuji hurriedly as they stepped out of this foggy ruins. At the instance everyone stepped out of the ruins, everyone seemed to heave a long sigh of relief simultaneously. In this foggy circumstance coupled with the occasional cries of dying cultivators made them believed that they might never step out of this place. They were certainly surprised to have made it out unharmed. Everyone started moving towards Mo Wuji to thank him but all Mo Wuji did was to wave his hand, "Everyone shall go our separate ways from here. This ruins is too strange and our cultivation level is still too low so I suggest none of you head back in there." Other than this ruins, there were many more good items in the Broken World so even without Mo Wuji¡¯s warning, no one would actually be willing to enter that ruins again. The 12 of them knew that Mo Wuji said this because he wished to leave on his own so they simply came forward to bid goodbye. Only after everyone left, Murong Xiangyu came forward and bowed towards Mo Wuji, "Wuji, the incident back then¡­ Thank you for saving my life this time. I shall leave too so please take care¡­ Please accept this storage ring as a form of my gratitude towards you¡­" Murong Xiangyu seemed to have predicted that Mo Wuji would not accept her item so she simply left this storage ring on a huge rock beside him before leaving. "Hold on, please take your item back. I have enough items of my own so there is no need for this," Mo Wuji called out for Murong Xiangyu. Murong Xiangyu stopped but didn¡¯t turn around to take the storage ring back. All she did was to turn her head and said to Mo Wuji, "That Ji Yue is not truthful to you and she is simply using you¡­ You also mentioned that I might not be suitable for the Supreme Dao Sect. After pondering over it for a long while, I realised that you might be right." After completing her sentence, she left in a hurry and disappeared soon after. Mo Wuji shook his head helplessly because why would he need Murong Xiangyu to warn him that Ji Yue was using him? Mo Wuji picked up the storage ring and used his spiritual will to look into it immediately. In the storage ring, there were only two ordinary looking sesame coloured papers and nothing else. Mo Wuji stretched out his hand and the two pages of paper appeared in his hand. Even though it was only two ordinary looking papers, the moment it touched his hand, a vast amount of energy penetrated Mo Wuji¡¯s body, mind and soul. This is the Book of Luo? This was actually two pages of the Book of Luo which Mo Wuji would never have expected Murong Xiangyu to be this generous. This woman actually knew how to repay gratitude and this made Mo Wuji extremely startled. No wonder so many people wanted to fight for the Book of Luo. Even before he looked at these two pages of the Book of Luo, he could sense how valuable this was based solely on the vast energy and magnificent Dao insights he felt just by holding it. Mo Wuji finally understood why Murong Xiangyu would rather die than give up on this Book of Luo because he wouldn¡¯t have given it up if he obtained something like that too. The reason why the hundreds of cultivators didn¡¯t fight for the Book of Luo was probably because they didn¡¯t know the true value of the Book of Luo. Everyone had only heard of how the Book of Luo was a congenital spiritual treasure of the legends but had never encountered this Book of Luo firsthand. If the crowd saw the Book of Luo with their own eyes, he would definitely be unable to stop everyone from fighting over it even if he was twice as strong as he was now. Mo Wuji looked at the direction which Murong Xiangyu ran towards and sighed. Murong Xiangyu was simply playing with fire to even dare to give this two pages of the Book of Luo to him. If it was anyone else, they might chase after her after realising the true value of it. As Mo Wuji casually took one page of the Book of Luo, his eyes fell on it. "Five elements of the Back of Luo, points of the Heaven and Earth, through its change, extremely few¡­" Mo Wuji only looked at these few words and every single word felt like bells and drums sounding out in the deepest portion of his soul. Vast, boundless amount of Dao spirituality surged towards him causing his entire body to tremble in excitement. In a matter of seconds, Mo Wuji realised how crude and simple his Wind Escape Technique was. Mo Wuji kept the Book of Luo in his Undying World in an instant. At this moment, Mo Wuji was trembling excitedly because he was in awe of how formidable this Book of Luo truly was. His personalised technique coupled with these two pages of the Book of Luo would definitely ensure a surge in his strength. Mo Wuji was certain that even Murong Xiangyu herself didn¡¯t understand how terrifying and important this Book of Luo was. Mo Wuji wondered if she would still give two pages of it to him if she truly knew how valuable this was. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stay where he was as he chose a direction and left in a hurry. He didn¡¯t bother collecting immortal herbs because since he was unable to advance into a Pill Emperor anytime soon, finding a place to analyse his Book of Luo would be his priority now. ¡­ Several days later, Mo Wuji found a sizable natural lake. One side of the lake was a cliff and it was uneven with low tier immortal herbs growing by the periphery of it. Mo Wuji picked all the immortal herbs in a jiffy before entering a gap in the cliff as he dug out an immortal cave to hide. After installing a concealment and defensive array on the outside of his immortal cave, he entered his Undying World. While Mo Wuji was inside his Undying World, he took out the two pages of the Book of Luo once more. The vast energy penetrated Mo Wuji¡¯s body and mind again and every single word of these two pages contained the endless energy of the Dao spirituality which made Mo Wuji indulged in it. As time passed by, Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique transformed once more. Previously, all he knew was that his Wind Escape Technique would transform once it reached Level 9 but he didn¡¯t know for sure what kind of changes it would be. As he took out these two pages, his Wind Escape Technique appeared like clear pathways as it started to fill up in front of it. After the Wind Escape Technique advanced past the 9 levels, it would reach the 5 Realms. The first realm would be Definite Wind and when it reached this realm, his entire body would turn into the wind and escaped while assimilating with the wind. At this moment, even though he still had his form, his energy would be completely identical to the wind and those who hadn¡¯t reach the realm who not noticed him. After the Definite Wind Realm would be the Formless Wind Realm. At this stage, even if there wasn¡¯t any wind around, as long as the space around him had elements of the wind he would be able to vanish within the elements of the wind and then disappear and escape silently. This was many folds stronger than agitating the wind by himself. The speed at which one managed to escape would depend on both the cultivation level and nature. The third realm would be Wind Teleportation. As long as there was wind in two positions, he would be able to teleport from one position to the other. This was different from spatial teleportation because this required the use of wind. As compared to spatial teleportation, there wouldn¡¯t be any changes in space and it would require minimal energy. The fourth realm would be the Guiding Wind. This was no longer a supporting technique as this turned the Wind Escape Technique into an offensive technique. One would be able to guide the wind to attack the opponent or used objects around to attack. The fifth realm would be the Wind Beckoning. Mo Wuji heard of this realm back when he was on earth where only gods could beckon for the wind and arouse the rain. Gods were indeed someone of the legends and even though they could be addressed as immortals, Mo Wuji was clear that he was not an immortal but only a mortal who cultivated. The moment he could call for wind, wasn¡¯t that a sacred art? Yes, it would definitely be a powerful sacred art. After deducing his Wind Escape Technique, Mo Wuji became well aware that his Wind Escape Technique couldn¡¯t be considered as a technique anymore as it was a true wind element sacred art. Mo Wuji would definitely find opportunities to learn techniques to arouse rain and eventually deduced a sacred art for arousing rain. This sacred art might not be very useful to him in the future but if he could call for wind and arouse rain, it would be a dream come true for a person who had watched fairy tales. Chapter 535: Touching The Heart Chapter 535: Touching The Heart Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just a simple Wind Escape Technique, was able to evolve to great sacred art which could beckon for the winds; ostensibly, that¡¯s how impressive the Book of Luo was. Moreover, Mo Wuji also found that the Book of Luo was especially able to develop and evolve techniques and sacred arts of the five elements. Whether it was for skills of the five elements, or the unique elements (Lightning, Wind and Ice) which were closely tied to the five elements, possessing the Book of Luo was equivalent to adding wings to a tiger. Mo Wuji was sure that if Murong Xiangyu wanted to replace her cultivation technique, her five pages of the Book of Luo was definitely able to do that. Moreover, she wouldn¡¯t simply be able to change to an average cultivation technique, but a peak grade one. Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t forget about the favour of these two pages. Even Mo Wuji could not help but sigh in praise at the impressiveness of the Book of Luo; he only read the opening section and he had already understood a wind-type great sacred art. Even though he had yet to successfully cultivate it, that was merely a temporary problem. What if he read an entire page, how much benefits would he have? And what if he obtained the entire book, he would simply be able to go against the heavens. Previously, he even thought that the Book of Luo wasn¡¯t comparable to the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Now that he looked at it, he was really wrong. Moreover, Mo Wuji even heard that the Book of Luo was an attack-type treasure. The moment he refined it, he would have a formidable attack method. However, Mo Wuji didn''t go and refine the Book of Luo. First, two pages were simply too little. To put it in other terms, these two pages were merely a fraction of the entire book. Secondly, he merely read the front section of the Book of Luo and he had already gained enlightenment on a wind-type sacred art, and close to a year passed because of that. If he refined this Xiantian treasure just like that, and gained all its insights, then decades or even centuries would pass. As he thought of it, it had already been over a year since he entered the Broken World. Now that a year had passed, everyone could already enter this third level of the Broken World. Finding immortal herbs probably wouldn¡¯t be as easy as it was before, so it was better if he left now. After all, he still had a store in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to leave his Undying World, he saw a violent vibration on his array-made display screen. This was a spatial vibration? To prevent any sort of unforeseen situations, Mo Wuji had installed a monitoring array outside his Undying World. The moment the monitoring array detected any sort of spatial ripples, his display screen within his Undying World would start to vibrate. Looking at the intense spatial ripples, Mo Wuji knew that this was due to a battle. Mo Wuji immediately threw away his idea of leaving now. He even retracted his spiritual will and stared at his display screen. The spatial ripple lasted for a short period of time; thereafter, three people appeared on his display three. Among the three, one man and one woman were surrounding and attacking a middle-aged cultivator. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance at their skills to know for sure that any one of these three people was stronger than him. This three fellas should be in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. The middle-aged man¡¯s power was roughly the same as the individual strengths of the man and the woman. But now that the two of them were working together against him, he was placed at a severe disadvantage. Just when Mo Wuji thought that this middle-aged man was going to be killed, the silver hook in the middle-aged man¡¯s hand struck against the woman, drawing her blood. The woman immediately retreated with a pale face. Mo Wuji finally had a clear look at that woman¡¯s face; she was an extremely pretty woman, compared to Murong Xiangyu, she was not much inferior. What left an indelible impression was that this woman had the appearance of an innocent and little girl. The moment one saw her, he could not help but feel some tenderness towards her. When the man saw that his companion had been injured, he hurriedly used his spear to conjure boundless spear shadows to trap that middle-aged man. Before the middle-aged man could struggle free from his spear shadows, a flying dagger shot through this middle-aged man¡¯s forehead. "Meimei, are you ok?" After the man killed the middle-aged cultivator, he hurriedly rushed to the woman¡¯s side and supported her up. The woman¡¯s face was slightly pale, she waved her hand and said, "Brother Tian, I¡¯m fine, there¡¯s no need to worry. It¡¯s just that the person¡¯s hook was lined with poison; I have been poisoned¡­" "Ah, that fella is so cunning. Let me hurry and take a look whether he has an a.ntidote on him." The man immediately turned towards the middle-aged cultivator. In his heart, Mo Wuji was also thinking: "No wonder". He had thought that this woman had only been struck once by the hook, her face shouldn¡¯t be so pale. So it turns out she was poisoned. However, at the very next instant, Mo Wuji was stupefied. Just as that ¡®Brother Tian¡¯ turned his body, that woman took out a long sword and swiftly stabbed it from the back of the man¡¯s head and through his Mind Palace. The man arduously turned his head and asked, "Meimei, why¡­" The woman didn¡¯t even bother to answer as she twisted the long sword. The man collapsed heavily onto the ground, and soon, his breath became air. Mo Wuji tightly clenched his fist; his entire body was shaking slightly. He saw Xia Ruoyin in this woman, and his past self in this man. Those years ago, this was also how he got killed by Xia Ruoyin. After some time, Mo Wuji finally calmed himself down. Unfortunately, his power was too weak. If he was stronger, he would definitely have gone out to kill this despicable woman. After the woman killed her companion, she took the rings from the two corpses, then burned them both to ash. Only then, did she swiftly leave the scene. What a despicable woman; after she killed her lover, she didn¡¯t even bother burying him. She even burned him with a flame. After this woman left, Mo Wuji also speedily left his Undying World and rushed away. He needed to get away as soon as possible; he did not feel any sense of security in this place. One month later, Mo Wuji arrived at the place where he first entered the Broken World. When he arrived, Mo Wuji discovered that this place had already become a simple city square; they were selling all immortal herbs and fruits of different tiers, and they were also selling an eclectic range of pills and talismans. The moment Mo Wuji appeared, more than ten cultivators rushed towards him; there were even deep expressions of greed in some of their eyes. They could only imagine how wealthy a person who came out of the third level of the Broken World alive would be; these survivors were basically walking immortal herb warehouses. "Dao friend, how may I address you? What sect are you from?" A long-faced man with a strong aura directly blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s way. In his words, he said ¡®dao friend¡¯ but his actions were nowhere as polite. In his perspective, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual aura was unapparent, he definitely wasn¡¯t a disciple of a big sect. To a disciple of a small sect, he only needed a few simple shouts to intimidate this disciple. By the time comes, all the immortal herbs from this disciple would go to him at a crazily discounted price. "F*ck off!" Mo Wuji was not polite as he shouted harshly. He was a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Elder; now that he had come to a place like this, he naturally had to display the appropriate bearing on an elder. As he integrated into the Immortal World, Mo Wuji knew the rules here; it was also world were the weak were bullied and the strong were feared. If someone was strong, you only needed to be stronger than him; if someone was vicious, you only needed to be more vicious than him. Those people who think that they would use values to persuade others, they can go f*ck themselves. Indeed, after he got shouted at by Mo Wuji, this man was instantly stunned still. A small sect disciple definitely wouldn¡¯t dare do such a thing; only those Star-grade geniuses of huge sects would dare to speak in such a manner. "Who are you? I am someone from the esteemed Immortal Fortune Trade Union." Even though this long-faced man was still trying to intimidate Mo Wuji, his tone had become noticeably warmer; it was no longer as domineering as before. Mo Wuji was too lazy to even reply him; he directly walked through the crowd. The surrounding people were stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s imposing manner and were temporarily afraid to say a word. Just when the man from the Immortal Fortune Trade Union was suspecting that Mo Wuji was simply faking it, a young cultivator came forward and bowed to Mo Wuji, "May I ask if you¡¯re Elder Mo?" When Mo Wuji saw that this cultivator was wearing the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s uniform, he stopped and nodded, "Yes, that¡¯s me. You are?" When the young cultivator heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, a smile instantly appeared on his face as he said, "I¡¯m Liu Fan. I received Deacon Gong¡¯s instruction to fetch Elder Mo." Mo Wuji was actually clueless as to how he could leave the Broken World. He never expected that Gong Yi would be so dependable, he immediately said, "Not bad, lead the way then." When he saw the person from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance bow to Mo Wuji, that long faced cultivator from the Immortal Fortune Trade Union immediately started to sweat. A Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Elder was an existence that could easily crush him. Fortunately, he was careful and didn¡¯t do anything horrible. Liu Fan smiled as he brought Mo Wuji along. "Gong Yi is alright, right?¡¯ Mo Wuji casually asked. Liu Fan hurriedly replied, "A huge incident had occurred in the Broken World¡¯s third level. More than half of the geniuses that entered had perished within. It¡¯s rumored that an Immortal Emperor expert had entered the third level, and an explanation of the exact situation has yet to be investigated. When he heard that even an Immortal Emperor came, Mo Wuji secretly celebrated that he didn¡¯t go and get that Tier 12 Red Karmic Fire Lotus. There was no need to talk about how he might die trying to get it; even if he did get it, it might actually end up in the hands of the Immortal Emperor. There were many cultivators that were with him. The moment he got that Red Karmic Fire Fruit, the news would definitely be leaked. This was unless he killed all the people that were with him. However, he, Mo Wuji, would never do such a thing. "I¡¯ve been here for two months. After Deacon Gong instructed me to fetch Elder Mo, he went into closed doors," Liu Fan explained as they walked. After an incense¡¯s time, Liu Fan brought Mo Wuji to the transfer hall. When Mo Wuji first arrived, there wasn¡¯t such a huge hall. But at this instant, they had actually erected a huge transfer hall here. "It¡¯s Brother Mo in front¡­" A crisp and familiar voice called out to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji stopped and turned to face the girl that called him; his heart was slightly doubtful. It was a daoist nun with exceptional facial features and a cultivation at the Great Circle of the Xuan Immortal Stage. He was doubtful because he recognised this daoist nun: she was Lin Gu, she should be a disciple of Six Paths Immortal Domain¡¯s Devil Moon Immortal School. Now that they were already leaving the Broken World, why was she looking for him? Her tone did not seem like she was trying to offend him. It could also be said that with his status, she wouldn¡¯t dare to offend him in a place like this. "Brother Mo, regarding the previous matter, it was Lin Gu¡¯s fault. I seek your forgiveness." Lin Gu came forward and bowed to Mo Wuji. As she bowed, the daoist gown at her chest loosened, and two startling, snow-white lumps appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. [1] [1] The author had a story error here. He mixed up Lin Gu and Nai He and he only noticed it in the next chapter. He said that Lin Gu was the one that tried to take Shen Muqing¡¯s seat at the Transfer Tower. Chapter 536: Soul Condensing Immortal Pond Chapter 536: Soul Condensing Immortal Pond Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I''ve already forgotten about that matter, it was really nothing much," Mo Wuji said calmly; he was sure that this woman in front of him definitely didn''t come to find him because of this trivial matter. Indeed, after hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Lin Gu seemed to be relieved as she stood straight up and said, "Even though it''s hard for me to say this, I can only ask Brother Mo if you could help me once." Mo Wuji didn''t say anything; he wasn''t close with this daoist nun, so why did he need to help her? Even if it was for a reward, he wouldn''t do it; after all, he was sure that the other party wouldn''t be able to give him the things he needed. Average things really didn''t catch his eye. Lin Gu did not get deterred by Mo Wuji''s attitude as she continued, "My Devil Moon Immortal School''s relationship with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has always been ordinary, which is also why we aren''t able to request the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to get this peak immortal doctors to help us¡­" "Wait," Mo Wuji interrupted Lin Gu''s words, "you seem to know my identity, right? However, I am very sorry to tell you that the time I joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has been very short; I don''t know any of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s immortal doctors. Moreover, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance primary focus is the Pill Dao, even though my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s status in the world is very high, we are still unable to request for the peak immortal doctor that you''re asking for. According to what I know, these peak immortal doctors have nothing to do with my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." Lin Gu bowed once more and said, "I know, it''s just that my mother¡¯s illness has already attacked her vitals; I can only plead that Brother Mo can help out this once, to see my mother''s illness. Regardless what request you ask of me, as long as I, Lin Gu, am able to do it, I will definitely work hard to do so." Mo Wuji''s face had turned slightly unsightly as he said, "I am merely a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Elder. When it comes to concocting pills, I might not even be able to concoct the most basic of pills. And if you''re talking about treating a person, then you should search for a professional doctor. It''s not that I''m not willing to help you, but I don''t have the capabilities to do so." Mo Wuji was also feeling rather speechless; he really didn''t understand what this daoist nun really needed him to treat an illness. He had completely no contact with the Medical Dao, so how was he going to treat her mother? Moreover, Mo Wuji knew that the Medical Dao was broader than the Pill Dao; it wouldn''t be completely wrong to say that the Pill Dao was a branch of the Medical Dao. Lin Gu said anxiously, "Brother Mo, you''re an Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. I know that even in the entire Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, there aren''t many Honored Grade Pill Kings. It''s exactly because of that, that I''m coming to you for help." Actually, there was one more reason, but Lin Gu didn''t say it, for fear of angering Mo Wuji. She heard that Mo Wuji had emerged from the Broken Ruins, even after he encountered the Golden House. Not only that, Mo Wuji even brought more than ten other Yong Ying cultivators out from the Broken Ruins. Lin Gu was extremely clear that those that could enter the Broken Ruins and still come out unharmed were super, super rare; the worst among them were at least at the Seven Star level. Those peak geniuses had their own methods, which was why they could escape. However, not only did Mo Wujj escape, he even brought so many people out with him. This was definitely something that those Star grade geniuses were unable to do. Of course, the most important thing was that Mo Wuji was an Honored Grade Pill King; an Honored Grade Pill King was extraordinarily rare. She didn¡¯t believe that an Honored Grade Pill King didn¡¯t have his hidden methods. If she was asked to search for a peak immortal doctor, where could go to do that? She could only find some pill kings, and among the pills kings she knew, the most impressive one she had contact with was Mo Wuji. This woman really investigated on him; Mo Wuji remained calm as he said, "It''s true that I''m a pill king, but who told you that pill kings are able to treat people? You''re from an impressive sect; you would naturally know of expects more impressive than me. Until now, your mother''s illness still isn''t treated, you think that I can¡­" As Mo Wuji got to this point, he suddenly stopped. He recalled of a certain matter; this Lin Gu was from the Devil Moon Immortal School, and the Devil Moon Immortal School was from the Six Paths Immortal Domain. According to what Mo Wuji knew, the Six Paths Immortal Domain was the Devil Domain. He didn''t really care about the actual fact that it was the Devil Domain. He only cared about what he heard from Dou Hualong previously, that the Devil Domain had a path to the Underworld. And the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was in between the Devil Domain and the Underworld¡­ "Whether or not you''re able to save my mother, I want to do everything to the best of my ability. Even if it fails, I will not regret¡­" As she spoke, Lin Gu already kneeled down. Mo Wuji extended his hand and stopped Lin Gu from kneeling, "Let¡¯s talk after we get back to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." "Yes." Hearing Mo Wuji relent, Lin Gu replied happily. ¡­ Sharphorn Immortal Ruins truly deserved its reputation as the most convenient place to get to and fro the Broken World. In merely an hour, the three of them were already walking out of Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s Transfer Tower. Mo Wuji grabbed a jade vase of pills and passed it to Liu Fan, "This is for you. You¡¯ve worked hard to fetch me. You can go your own way now. Next time, if you purchase anything from my pill house, my pills will always be at a 20% discount." "Many thanks, Elder Mo. Liu Fan will now take his leave." Liu Fan emotionally kept the pills and bowed. He didn¡¯t even check the pills that Mo Wuji gave him; but being able to get acquainted with a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Elder was definitely a good thing. Just based on this point, he definitely wouldn¡¯t suffer from any huge grievances in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Waiting for Liu Fan to leave, Mo Wuji then turned to Lin Gu and said, "Follow me to my pill house and we¡¯ll talk in detail." Lin Gu was naturally elated; it was already an extreme success that she managed to convince Mo Wuji to be willing to talk to her. Mo Wuji¡¯s pill house was not in a remote area, nor was it far from the Transfer Tower. As they casually strolled back, they only needed an hour to reach his pill house. "Big Brother!" Just as Mo Wuji entered the store, Dou Hualong stood up in pleasant surprise. It had been close to 2 years since they last met; Dou Hualong¡¯s cultivation was much more stable than when Mo Wuji first met him. Mo Wuji patted Dou Hualong¡¯s shoulder, "The store isn¡¯t open yet, what are you doing here." Dou Hualong snickered, "Even though the store hasn¡¯t officially opened, I have been here advertising it. That way, when we open, everyone would know about us." Mo Wuji took out a storage ring and handed it to Dou Hualong, "This ring contains pills. Separate them according to tiers then prepare for our grand opening." "Yes, big brother." Dou Hualong excitedly accepted the ring. Every day, he had been cooping himself here in the store with nothing to do. He was worried that he might just wither here. "Oh right, the price of the pills and the opening of the store will be left to you. There¡¯s no need to ask me." With that, Mo Wuji gestured to Lin Gu, then walked to the second floor of the store. Waiting for Lin Gu to sit down, Mo Wuji said firmly, "Lin Gu, I have to be honest with you. Even though I am an Honored Grade Pill King, I don¡¯t know much about treating illnesses. You truly found the wrong person." Lin Gu hurriedly stood up, anxiety lined her voice as she said, "I also don¡¯t know who else I can find. You¡¯re the most impressive pill king I know, I¡­" Even Lin Gu didn¡¯t know what else she could say; Mo Wuji was a rare Honored Grade Pill King, and he was even able to escape from the fogged Broken Ruins, so he definitely wasn¡¯t a simple person. More importantly, it was just as she had said, the best pill king she could find was Mo Wuji. In the eyes of an average cultivator, a pill king could basically be treated as an immortal doctor. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and stopped Lin Gu, "Let me ask you a few questions, do you know about the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond?" Lin Gu was slightly startled; even though she didn¡¯t understand why Mo Wuji would ask her about the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, she still nodded, "I do." "Can we talk about that?" Mo Wuji was instantly spirited; his voice even contained a new sliver of emotion. Feeling the change in Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude, Lin Gu¡¯s emotions also became slightly uplifted as she hurriedly explained, "The Soul Condensing Immortal Pond is within the void between the Six Paths Immortal Domain and the Underworld. The Soul Condensing Immortal Pill can condense one¡¯s soul and primordial spirit, allowing a cultivator that still possesses his fleshly body to come back to life." "Is this true or false?" Mo Wuji was almost standing up. Lin Gu nodded, "It¡¯s true. The Six Paths Immortal Domain Heavenly Emperor¡¯s daughter, Gai Feiyan, died due to heavy injuries. Because the Heavenly Emperor Palace¡¯s people managed to arrive in time, they were able to preserve Gai Feiyan¡¯s fleshly body. Thereafter, the Devil Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor used a Tier 9 Underworld Heart Flower, and at the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, he called back for Gai Feiyan¡¯s soul which had to be fully dispersed. This brought her back to life¡­" "Wait, you¡¯re saying that that the Underworld Heart Flower calls back the soul which has yet to be dispersed, and not simply bring her back to life?" Mo Wuji immediately caught the main point. Even though he wanted to save Cen Shuyin, he had some apprehensions in his heart. He was worried that after Cen Shuyin came back to life, she wouldn¡¯t be the same Cen Shuyin. However, if he could call back Cen Shuyin¡¯s original soul that was in the Underworld, then that wouldn¡¯t happen. "Of course," Lin Gu said resolutely, "if the cultivator simply came back to life, then how would we know that he wasn¡¯t possessed by some other primordial spirit?" "Are there any conditions?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone became urgent. Lin Gu nodded, "Yes, typically, the time since the death cannot be too long. The moment it exceeds 49 years, then it would be extremely hard even if you have the Underworld Heart Fruit. After 100 years, it would basically be impossible to call the soul back. Unless you have some great sacred art which allows you to enter the Underworld. The Underworld is incomparably vast and it is even separated into different levels. Regardless whether a person was a mortal or cultivator, if his soul wasn¡¯t destroyed when he died, his soul would end up in the Underworld. In the Underworld, the souls would search for the chance to reincarnate. Also, the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond isn¡¯t a place that we can easily enter¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly bowed to Lin Gu, "Lin Gu, I have a friend that died in the cultivation world. Her fleshly body is complete and preserved. I hope to be able to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond and call her soul which is in the Underworld, and I need Lin Gu¡¯s help for that. As long as you¡¯re willing to help, whether or not I am able to treat your mother, I will definitely try my best." When Lin Gu heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she finally understood why he would ask her about the Soul Condensing Immortal Pong. However, this matter was hard, even for her. Not anyone could simply enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. As she thought of how she was also asking Mo Wuji for help, Lin Gu gritted her teeth and said, "I can help you get into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. But even if you enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, it would be useless if you don¡¯t have the Underworld Heart Flower or other similar immortal herbs. Without such herbs, you are completely unable to let the soul which is in the Underworld to feel its fleshly body. And the more Underworld Heart Flowers you use, the higher your chance of recalling the wandering soul. However, every strain of the Underworld Heart Flower is a priceless treasure, much less many strains." Chapter 537: Tian Ji Sect’s Survivor Chapter 537: Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Survivor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji went silent. He realised that his previous excitement was nothing but air. How was he going to find the Tier 9 Underworld Heart Flower? Without the Underworld Heart Flower, what was he going to do even if he got to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond? Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s silence, Lin Gu could not help but say, "Actually, the Underworld Heart Flower is not impossible to find." The moment Mo Wuji heard Lin Gu¡¯s words, he immediately took a step forward and grabbed Lin Gu¡¯s shoulders, "Lin Gu, where can I find the Underworld Heart Flower?" A soft sensation immediately entered his hands. Mo Wuji immediately knew that his actions were inappropriate and he hurriedly removed his hands, then said apologetically, "Sorry, I was too emotional¡­" Lin Gu''s blush which extended even to her ears gradually receded as she said, "No worries, I can understand your emotions, because I share the same feelings as you." Mo Wuji promptly said, "Lin Gu, rest assured, regardless of whether we find the Underworld Heart Flower of not, I will definitely make a trip with you to Devil Moon Immortal School. I''m unsure whether I would be able to treat your mother, but I will definitely try my best." "Many thanks, Brother Mo." Lin Gu bowed and continued, "Actually I know of two places that could have the Underworld Heart Flower, the first place is your Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡­" "The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has the Underworld Heart Flower?" Mo Wuji uttered in exclamation. Lin Gu nodded, "Yes, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance does indeed have the Underworld Heart Flower, however, it would be at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters. Even though Brother Mo might be an elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch, it would be a little difficult to get the Underworld Heart Flower from the Headquarters." Lin Gu was speaking the truth; she knew the value of the Underworld Heart Flower. This sort of peak grade treasure was simply out of the reach of an average branch elder. Mo Wuji nodded, "Tell me about the second place." Mo Wuji wasn''t as pessimistic as Lin Gu about getting the Underworld Heart Flower from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters. After all, besides being a branch elder at the Sharphorn Branch, he was also an honorary elder of the Headquarters. This status should hold some weight right? At the most, he would exchange for it. He might not have many valuable things but his two pages of the Book of Luo would definitely be worth countless of Underworld Heart Flowers. "The second place is Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Yunxian Immortal Valley, Yunxian Immortal Valley contains all sorts of peak grade immortal herbs. Some Underworld Heart Flowers were discovered there before. Moreover, the Yunxian Immortal Valley will be opening very soon. If Brother Mo is interested, there''s a sliver of a chance that you would be able to obtain the Underworld Heart Flower¡­" Lin Gu said that Mo Wuji had a sliver of a chance to obtain the Underworld Heart Flower, but in her heart, she knew exactly how thin that sliver was. There was no need to talk about whether the Yunxian Immortal Valley had such an immortal herb, because Mo Wuji''s status as a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder was truly lacking when it came to a treasure like the Underworld Heart Flower. Moreover, Mo Wuji''s cultivation was also very lacking. If an Underworld Heart Flower really appeared, even Immortal Emperors would rush to purchase it, so how would Mo Wuji get a chance? She only said these words to comfort Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had experienced far more than Lin Gu; he only needed a single glance at her expression to know that Lin Gu had some words which she found helpless to say. As for why she would feel that way, Mo Wuji could roughly guess it. Even if someone found a treasure like the Underworld Heart Flower, he wouldn''t even get the chance to purchase it. "How do you enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley?" As Mo Wuji thought of this, he knew that his only chance to obtain the Underworld Heart Flower was to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley himself. He also knew the chances of him being able to purchase it was extremely low. Lin Gu hesitated for a while before she continued, "That''s very difficult. Yong Ying Immortal Domain would soon be organising an alchemy competition; only the top 50 experts would have the chance to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Even though I am sure that Brother Mo would definitely be able to enter the top 50 in the competition, I also know that there are limitations to the competition. Pill refiners that aren''t from Yong Ying aren''t able to take part in the competition¡­" "I''m actually a pill refiner from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and I even¡­" Mo Wuji beamed. He originally wanted to talk about how he even knew many cultivators from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, such as Cang Heng, Zuo Yixian, etc. However, as he thought about how Zuo Yixian and co. might not have left the Broken World, he subconsciously stopped in his sentence. He asked, "Tell me, how long would till the opening of Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Yunxian Immortal Valley?" Lin Gu hesitated, but she still said, "There''s still supposed to be three years, but because Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun ordered for the opening to be brought forward, the immortal valley will be opened in a year." Mo Wuji looked at Lin Gu¡¯s hesitation and he said apologetically, "Lin Gu you''ve helped me, but I will need to push back the time that I go to the Devil Moon Immortal School. I''m truly sorry. If I don''t take part in this alchemy competition and enter Yunxian Immortal Valley, I would never be happy ever again." Lin Gu forced a smile, "I know, I can understand Brother Mo''s feelings. My mother has been ill for close to a hundred years, even the go a little later, it wouldn''t really be a problem." Mo Wuji knew that Lin Gu was still feeling anxious so he changed the topic, "Why did that Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor want to bring forward the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley?" Lin Gu subconsciously lowered her voice and whispered, "According to the rumors, Kui Fengyun has been heavily injured, which is why he needs the Yunxian Immortal Valley to be opened early to search for some healing treasures. However, I know that those rumors are false. He should have felt the Immortal Emperor Dao, and is preparing to realise his Immortal Emperor Dao. Realising the Immortal Emperor Dao requires some of the most peak grade Tier 9 immortal herbs. This is why he would want the Yunxian Immortal Valley to be opened earlier." As Mo Wuji heard this, his heart started pounding and he asked hurriedly, "I previously heard that Yong Ying''s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun was heavily injured in a battle for a purple gourd. He ordered for the early opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley, it should really be because he needed some peak grade healing herbs, right?" Lin Gu sneered, "Injured? Others may not know Kui Fengyun, but I know him.all too clearly. On the surface, Kui Fengyun acts extremely straightforward and magnanimous, and he treats people warmly. However, this person is devious and cunning; his shrewdness is as deep as an ocean, and his heart is as venomous as a scorpion. He did indeed have a huge battle with Gu, but in reality, it was Gu that had to flee with heavy injuries while Kui Fengyun was unharmed." "How do you know things so clearly?" Mo Wuji looked at Lin Gu suspiciously. Lin Gu inhaled a deep breath and said solemnly, "Because Gu is my master. When my master returned, he was heavily injured. Even now, he''s still recovering behind closed doors. That purple gourd should be the Breath of Hongmeng. My master told me that Kui Fengyun obtained the Breath of Hongmeng and would soon become seek the Great Immortal Emperor Dao. This time, he is opening Yunxian Immortal Valley because he wanted to pave the way to realise the dao. Those that think that he had been injured were tricked by him." Mo Wuji was increasingly confused, that purple gourd which contained the Breath of Hongmeng was clearly in his Undying World. How did it end up with the Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor? Where did this second gourd come from? Were there even two gourds? He was sure that the gourd that he had was the Breath of Hongmeng; it definitely wasn¡¯t a fake. Then the gourd that Kui Fengyun had should also be a Breath of Hongmeng. Otherwise, Kui Fengyun wouldn¡¯t be able to feel the Great Immortal Emperor Dao. The more Mo Wuji thought about it, the less he understood. After a short hesitation, he still asked, "Lin Gu, do you know where Kui Fengyun got the purple gourd?" Lin Gu answered, "I heard that when the Breath of Hongmeng first came into this world, it was obtained by a Heavenly Immortal from the Corner of Yong Ying. This Heavenly Immortal was very careful, others would escape from the surface of the Lifeless River, but instead, he hid in the Lifeless Riverbed. Only after the entire matter passed, did he emerge and enter the Immortal Domain through the Immortal Seeking Staircase." Mo Wuji shook his head, "That fella is clearly courting his death, the moment he entered the Immortal World, his Breath of Hongmeng definitely couldn¡¯t be hidden." Lin Gu said, "No, that¡¯s not true. In reality, he had a treasure which was actually able to hide the aura of the Breath of Hongmeng. However, after obtaining this huge treasure, it truly pained his heart to not take a look at it. Eventually, this cultivator found an extremely remote place, then installed layer after layer of concealment arrays before he finally opened the gourd. And it is as you have guessed, the moment he opened the gourd, the energy from the Breath of Hongmeng instantly got noticed by an expert. My master happened to be in the area, so he took part in the battle." Mo Wuji was secretly celebrating in his heart. Before he could invite Lin Gu to head towards Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he heard a loud noise at the first floor. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will downwards and he was instantly enraged; three cultivators had actually caused a ruckus in his pill house. Because he didn¡¯t install any seals yet, the row of pills which Dou Hualong just placed in the cabinets were scattered on the floor. With a single step, he landed on the first floor. His voice was icy cold as he said, "You really have the guts, to actually fight in my store." There were three people fighting; two men and a blonde girl. Among the two men, one had a knife scar on his face, while the other was slightly fat. Looking at the two¡¯s cultivation, they should be in the late Golden Immortal Stage. That blonde haired girl had a petite figure, and her looks were average. Her cultivation was only in the early Golden Immortal Stage. From the looks of it, it should be the two guys that attacked the blonde girl. However, it was the blonde girl that crashed into the pill cabinets. At this instant, when she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s shout, her face turned deadly pale. Moreover, her mouth was already stained with blood, so she wasn¡¯t able to speak momentarily. When that knife-scarred cultivation heard Mo Wuji¡¯s harsh tone, he immediately bowed and said, "Senior, please forgive us, we didn¡¯t do this intentionally. Just now, we were chasing this leftover evil from Tian Ji Sect. We never expected that she would borrow the power of our strike to enter this store and crash against senior¡¯s pill cabinets." Regardless of who Mo Wuji was, anyone that could open a pill house here wasn¡¯t simple. He would first apologize. Tian Ji Sect? Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on that blonde girl and his voice was noticeably warmer, "You¡¯re from Tian Ji Sect?" The blonde girl immediately regained her countenance, and she stammered, "Yes, senior¡­" Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding; this blonde girl should have been chased and had nowhere left to go. When she saw the name ¡®Tian Ji Pill Court¡¯, she decided to grab that bit of hope and borrowed the power of the cultivators chasing her to charge into his pill house. "Senior, Tian Ji Sect has committed an evil crime, and it has already been eradicated. We are only chasing after the remaining survivors¡­" "Bullshit." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even wait for the knife-scarred man to finish. He continued to shout harshly, "This old man¡¯s pill house is also Tian Ji Pill Court, are you going to destroy it too?" The slightly fat cultivator stepped forward and grinned as he clasped his fists, "Senior, we¡¯re disciples from the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. We have obtained permission from the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Castellan to catch Tian Ji Sect¡¯s survivors¡­" "Pa!" Mo Wuji did not even wait for this cultivator to finish speaking as he directly sent a slap outwards. That slap contained his immortal elemental energy and it immediately sent that cultivator flying; a pile of teeth shot out of this cultivator¡¯s mouth. Chapter 538: Threat Chapter 538: Threat Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations It was only then did Dou Hualong dare to come out from his corner. His cultivation was too low, and when the two Golden Immortals with powerful auras entered, he could only hide. "What¡¯s the meaning of this?" When the knife-scarred cultivator saw his companion get slapped flying, his face became ugly and he didn¡¯t even address Mo Wuji as ¡®senior¡¯ anymore. "Pa!" Mo Wuji sent another slap. This knife-scarred cultivator was also slapped; half his face directly shattered and not a single tooth was left in his mouth. "You think your Empty Mirror Immortal Dao is very impressive? If destroy my pill house, then I would also be considered a remaining evil." Mo Wuji walked towards the two cultivators that he slapped towards the wall, with his hands behind his back. "Senior, I know that you¡¯re definitely not simple for being able to open a store here. But can¡¯t you be more reasonable? We aren¡¯t the ones that crashed into your pill house. We are only chasing after the evil survivor of Tian Ji Sect; it is nothing related to senior." The knife-scarred cultivator was slightly angered. However, he knew that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t dare to kill a person here. Mo Wuji snickered, "I¡¯m not being reasonable? Let me tell you, I¡¯m also from Tian Ji Sect. If you have the guts, come destroy my pill house. If you¡¯re unable to destroy my pill house, then I¡¯m sorry, I will have to destroy your Empty Mirror Immortal Dao." Mo Wuji completely didn¡¯t know how impressive the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao was, but that wasn¡¯t important, he could also start boasting. As for his claim that he was from Tian Ji Sect, no one else really believed him other than himself. "Haha, this friend has such a temper, to even threaten to destroy our Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. I am the simple trade union manager of Empty Mirror Immortal Dao; I want to see how exactly you intend to destroy my Empty Mirror Immortal Dao." A chuckle could be heard as a thin and tall man in brown robes walked in. Even though Mo Wuji was only in the early Xuan Immortal Stage, he only needed a single glance to discern that this was a Grand Yi Immortal. Before Mo Wuji could answer, another loud chuckle could be heard, "Elder Mo, I heard that you¡¯ve returned so I immediately came to visit. Fortunately, I wasn¡¯t too late." When the brown robed man saw the newcomer, and heard the respect in that person¡¯s words, he immediately got a shock. He recognised this person; it was Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion¡¯s Du Ju. Even though the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao was a mid-grade sect, it was too far when compared to the Void Piercer Treasure Pavilion. If even Du Ju was so courteous to this young man, could it be that this young man had an amazing background? To be an elder at such a young age, what sect could it be? "Shopkeeper Du, long time no see." The brown robed cultivator hurriedly clasped his fists; he knew that his status was far from Du Ju, and additionally, Du Ju had a greater foundation in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins than him. Du Ju still didn¡¯t know the situation. When he saw the brown robed cultivator he casually nodded, "So it¡¯s Immortal Friend Fu, Immortal Friend Fu¡­" Du Ju immediately stopped speaking; he noticed two cultivators with the Empty Mirror¡¯s ensign on their robes lying injured on the floor. Those injuries were clearly new. As he thought of Elder Mo¡¯s temper, how could Du Ju not know that these two people were injured by Mo Wuji. So it turns out Elder Mo had an enmity with the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. Then, why would he bother continuing to talk nonsense with this Fu Zhensong. Fu Zhensong wasn¡¯t an obtuse person; even though he knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s words about destroying the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao were merely boastful remarks, he could still guess that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t so simple. Otherwise, Du Ju definitely wouldn¡¯t be so courteous to him. It was exactly because of this that he did not continue speaking. At this instant, the injured knife-scarred cultivator stood back up and swiftly explained the situation. "Elder Mo, these two disciples of mine were indeed wrong in their handling of the matter. Even though it was the survivor of Tian Ji Sect that crashed against your esteemed pill house¡¯s pill cabinets, my Empty Mirror Immortal Dao is willing to pay the compensation. Elder Mo, please say your price. After we pay you, we will immediately leave with this Tian Ji Sect¡¯s survivor." Fu Zhensong¡¯s tone had become more courteous; he had also lowered his attitude. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t know that his words were treated as a provocation by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother to reply him as he turned to Du Ju and asked, "Shopkeeper Du, who¡¯s the most powerful fella in Empty Mirror Immortal Dao?" Du Ju had come here to improve his relationship with Mo Wuji, and replying to this question had no impact to him so he didn¡¯t hesitate to answer, "I heard that Empty Mirror Immortal Dao¡¯s First Elder Wei Yun is already in the intermediate Immortal King Stage. I also heard that the sect head Mo Fei would soon be entering the Immortal King Stage¡­" Mo Wuji frowned and muttered, "Looks like destroying the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao would be quite troublesome." Du Ju got a shock; those words were truly too absurd. Even if Mo Wuji was a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch Elder, he couldn¡¯t simply eradicate a sect at his whim, much less a mid-grade sect like Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. Even if these words were merely a threat, they couldn¡¯t be casually said like that. However, he really didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji genuinely wanted to destroy the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. Even though Mo Wuji knew that he currently didn¡¯t have the capability, and even his status as an honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters also wouldn¡¯t have such a capability, it did not mean that he wasn¡¯t going to send this message. He could relay his intentions of destroying the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters. Of course, even though he knew that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wouldn¡¯t follow his intentions, he would be uncomfortable if he didn¡¯t do it. "Elder Mo, please be more tactful with your words. We can take your first words as a misunderstanding, but you can¡¯t keep threatening to destroy my Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. I know that Elder Mo¡¯s status is not low, but that doesn¡¯t mean that you can keep doing that." By the side, Fu Zhensong truly couldn¡¯t endure it and he snorted coldly. Mo Wuji took out two jade tokens and handed them to Dou Hualong and said, "Hualong, help me make a trip to Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. Get them to dispatch an expert above at the Grand Yi Immortal Stage above to come over and catch these tyrants. Moreover, the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao destroyed my store. Get the branch to use my name to seek help from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters, to destroy the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao." "Yes, big brother." Dou Hualong hurriedly received the two jade tokens and prepared to walk out." "Please hold your step." Fu Zhensong, whose spiritual will had already scanned the jade tokens, urgently blocked Dou Hualong.] Previously, he didn¡¯t know Mo Wuji¡¯s identity and background, so he didn¡¯t take things too seriously. But what did Mo Wuji just take out? One was a jade token representing his identity as an elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. The other was even more terrifying: honorary elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters, Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. If this was the previous Mo Wuji speaking, Fu Zhensong would disdainfully ignore what Mo Wuji said. But now, he couldn¡¯t think in the same way. An Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King and an honorary elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters, it definitely wasn¡¯t a laughing matter when Mo Wuji talked about using his status to ask for the destruction of the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. Facing the behemoth that was the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao was nothing; this would mean that Mo Wuji¡¯s words might possibly turn into reality. As he thought of this, Fu Zhensong¡¯s back instantly became drenched in cold sweat By the side, Du Ju was also secretly stunned. Previously, he only thought that Mo Wuji was an elder of the Sharphorn Branch. He never expected that Mo Wuji would also be an Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King, as well as an honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters. If you considered those two statuses, coupled with the reason that the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao destroyed Mo Wuji¡¯s pill house¡­ Du Ju subconsciously felt his heart shivering. These reasons were enough for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to destroy the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. As for whether or not the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would investigate the validity of Mo Wuji¡¯s claims, that was simply a joke. Even if the words that the honorary elder said were fake, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would take it as the truth. Moreover, this honorary elder was also an Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. Even a fool would know the future potential of an Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. Otherwise, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wouldn¡¯t give Mo Wuji the title as an honorary elder. Wasn¡¯t their motive simply to tie Mo Wuji, this Honored Grade Pill King, to their Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? Fortunately, he was acute previously. He didn¡¯t offend this deceivingly young elder. "Elder Mo, there were many misunderstandings. I hope that Elder Mo would be magnanimous to forgive us lowly ones," Fu Zhensong bowed and said, his heart was trembling with palpitations. If the other party was determined to destroy the Empty Mirror Immortal School, then it would be useless even if he acted as the other party¡¯s grandson. Dou Hualong also stopped and subconsciously turned to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also knew that if he forcefully got Dou Hualong to go to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance now, Fu Zhensong might possibly jump the gun and attack him now. He naturally didn¡¯t fear Fu Zhensong, but it was indeed difficult for him to gain an upper hand against a Grand Yi Immortal. Moreover, Mo Wuji also knew that even if he brought his jade tokens to Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, the possibility that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would help him was very slim. This was because he didn¡¯t know anyone in the alliance. It might even be simply because Nong Yong appreciated him, which was why he got this title as an honorary elder. If the casual words of an honorary elder would get the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to eradicate a sect, then the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wouldn¡¯t have lasted to this day. Fu Zhensong was so afraid because this matter involved his Empty Mirror Immortal Dao, and the name of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was truly too imposing. If Mo Wuji wanted to destroy the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao, he could only depend on himself, and not the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. His current actions of threatening Fu Zhensong were merely using the guise of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to act for Tian Ji Sect. "Was Tian Ji Sect destroyed by your Empty Mirror Immortal Dao?" Mo Wuji did not continue to ask Dou Hualong to leave. Instead, he asked that question in a cold tone. Even if Fu Zhensong was an idiot, he knew that Mo Wuji should be related to Tian Ji Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have cared so much about Tian Ji Sect and even name his pill house the Tian Ji Pill Court. "No, Tian Ji Sect offended the Great Sword Path. It was Great Sword Path¡¯s Elder Sajian that destroyed it. My Empty Mirror Immortal Dao merely accepted Elder Sajian¡¯s order to chase after the surviving disciples of Tian Ji Sect," Fu Zhensong answered as cold sweat trickled down his back. Mo Wuji knew of the Great Sword Path; it was also a huge sect with incomparable power. Even though it might be slightly weaker than the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it wouldn¡¯t be weaker to a huge degree. "How many Tian Ji Sect disciples has your Empty Mirror Immortal Dao caught?" When Mo Wuji heard that Tian Ji Sect wasn¡¯t destroyed by Empty Mirror Immortal Dao, his tone became better. "Two, Yi Lan was the third one that we were pursuing." Fu Zhensong was especially cautious as he spoke; he had truly been terrified by Mo Wuji. In his eyes, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t doing this to scare him. Because with Mo Wuji¡¯s status, all his threats were truly possible. Chapter 539: Mo Wujis Disappointment Chapter 539: Mo Wuji''s Disappointment Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At this instant, that blonde girl finally understood that her choice was right; this Elder Mo was indeed biased towards Tian Ji Sect. She hurriedly said, "Senior Mo, Senior Brother Bian Huiyu and Senior Sister Su Rou¡¯Er has been locked up in Empty Mirror Immortal Dao¡¯s merchant house." Mo Wuji''s eyes turned cold as he turned to Fu Zhensong and said, "I give you half an incense''s time. Bring the other two people here, perfectly unharmed." "Yes¡­" If Mo Wuji said these words when he just arrived, Fu Zhensong would have taken it as a joke. However, Fu Zhensong no longer had such thoughts. In his eyes, Mo Wuji''s words were more tangible than gold. He immediately took out his communication bead and sent a message, then he stood by the side and smiled. He could not help but be afraid; even if Mo Wuji wasn''t a honorary elder of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, his identity as a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King was enough for him to casually join any supreme sect. For a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King, it wasn''t impossible got a supreme sect to destroy his Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. "Elder Mo, I really came to the right person this time." At this point, Du Ju finally came forward and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji with a face full of smiles. "Brother Du, I had some minor matter just now which was why there was a delay. I wonder if Brother Du has anything you need of me?" Mo Wuji¡¯s expression became warmer as he asked that question. Du Ju looked a little awkward as he said, "I have a friend that''s stuck at the Great Circle of the Xuan Immortal Stage; he''s just lacking a Grand Yi True Pill and I was just intending to ask Brother Mo to help me concoct a batch of Grand Yi True Pills." With that, Du Ju took out a storage ring and passed it to Mo Wuji, "This contains the immortal herbs for the pill." Mo Wuji accepted the ring and discovered that besides the immortal herbs for a batch of Grand Yi True Pills, there were also 200,000 high grade immortal crystals and ten pieces of smithing materials of considerable grade. Clearly, the additional items were his remunerations. Mo Wuji accepted the ring and chuckled, "Brother Du really came at the right time, I happen to have some Grand Yi True Pills here." As he spoke, Mo Wuji brought out a jade vase and handed it to Du Ju. Du Ju scanned it with his spiritual will and a hint of pleasant surprise immediately emerged on his face, "This is too much, I only need half." Mo Wuji''s jade vase actually contained six Grand Yi True Pills which was indeed too much. Usually, it was already not bad for a pill refiner to give the customers 40% of the batch. A full batch of Grand Yi True Pills contained 12 pills and Mo Wuji gave him six which was equivalent to half of the full batch. But this wasn''t what startled Du Ju the most; what startled Du Ju the most was that all these six pills were unique grade. The value of these six unique grade Grand Yi True Pills vastly exceeded a full batch of high grade Grand Yi True Pills. Usually, it was already considered a huge fortune to be able to get a pill king to concoct a batch of Grand Yi True Pills, much less unique grade ones. In the market, most of the Grand Yi True Pills were intermediate grade or low grade. Occasionally, some high grade pills might be sold. As for unique grade Grand Yi True Pills, they could only be purchased in auctions. His little bit of remunerations were completely not worth mentioning in front of these six unique grade Grand Yi True Pills. Mo Wuji patted Du Ju''s shoulder and said, "I will be leaving for a trip soon. I will need to trouble you to help take care of my store." Du Ju knew that Mo Wuji was merely saying words of courtesies; Mo Wuji was an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch here in Sharphorn, why would his store need help taking care of? He still said emotionally, "Brother Mo, rest assured. I will definitely come here frequently to take a look." With that, his gaze turned to Fu Zhensong. In his perspective, the ''taking care¡¯ that Mo Wuji mentioned was to prevent blind idiots like Fu Zhensong from causing a ruckus. By the side, Fu Zhensong saw this scene with shock in his heart. A pill king was truly impressive; even an Immortal King couldn''t casually take out a vase of Grand Yi True Pills. The two continued to chatter for a bit until a middle-aged man hurriedly brought a man and a woman in. Mo Wuji didn''t care about the middle-aged man; he knew that this fella must be from Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. His gaze landed on the man and the woman. The man looked young, his aura was disturbed; clearly, he had yet to fully recover from a heavy injury. The woman had pretty features and looked much more mature than Yi Lan. Her injuries were clearly not light as well, but her expression was very calm. She wasn''t uneasy or uncertain. "Sister Rou, Senior Brother Huiyu¡­" Seeing the two, Yi Lan forgot her fears and anxiously charged over to support the two of them. "Yi Lan, what''s going on?" The woman asked calmly. She saw that the knife scarred and the slightly cultivators were standing outside with injuries and Yi Lan looked a little excited so she immediately asked this question. Yi Lan hurriedly said, "Elder Mo was the one that helped me¡­" She didn''t continue any further. At this instant, Fu Zhensong was standing respectfully in front of Mo Wuji with an anxious expression on his face. "Elder Mo, we''ve brought them over." Fu Zhensong''s voice was filled with uncertainty. Mo Wuji''s expression was slightly ugly but he didn''t say anything. It wasn''t because he didn''t want to say anything but because he was too helpless; his cultivation was too low to discipline these fellas from Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. Tian Ji Sect was truly tragic; back in the cultivation world, it was also destroyed and the survivors found him to become Tian Ji Sect''s sect head. Supposedly, after ascending to the Immortal World, he should be supported by the Tian Ji Sect here. Unfortunately, he still needed to act as a nanny here. Seeing Mo Wuji''s silence, Fu Zhensong hurriedly took out three storage ring and passed them to Yi Lan and co., "These are your storage rings, the extras are my compensation." Bian Huiyu and Su Rou¡¯Er did not hesitate to take the rings. Even though there were many additional things in their rings, these rings were originally their¡¯s. Yi Lan''s ring, however, wasn''t taken but when she saw her seniors accept the ring, she took the ring as well. Seeing the three accept the ring, Fu Zhensong heaved a sigh of relief and turned back to Mo Wuji. "Get lost then," Mo Wuji said solemnly. Even though he had a lot of grievances in his heart, Fu Zhensong could only clasp his fists and hurriedly brought his subordinates away. He anxiously wanted to inform his sect head of this matter; if Tian Ji Sect had a backer like Mo Wuji, then it wasn''t something that could easily be trifled with by their Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. Moreover, the one that asked for the destruction of Tian Ji Sect wasn''t the Great Sword Path itself; it was merely an elder of Great Sword Path. Even though this entire matter hadn''t been settled, it was best if their Empty Mirror Immortal Dao leaves before their grievances with Tian Ji Sect got too deep. "I will also take my leave. In the future, if Brother Mo needs my, Du Ju''s, help, feel free to instruct me." Du Ju also took the opportunity to leave; his rewards today were not small. Not only did he get to know of Mo Wuji''s true identity, he also obtained six unique grade Grand Yi True Pills. After Mo Wuji sent Du Ju away and retrieved his two jade tokens from Dou Hualong, he said to Lin Gu, "Wait for me downstairs. I will come back down soon, then we will leave Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." After that, he turned to Yi Lan and co., "The three of you follow me up." The three of their lives were saved by Mo Wuji. Moreover, Mo Wuji''s pill house was called Tian Ji Pill Court. Even if Mo Wuji didn''t call for them, they wanted to know of the situation. ... "Tian Ji Sect''s Bian Huiyu, Su Rou''Er and Yi Lan thank Senior Mo for your saving grace," The moment they got to the second floor, Su Rou''Er led the three of them to bow and thank Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved his hands, "All this isn''t important. Who can tell me when was Tian Ji Sect destroyed? And who exactly destroyed it?" Su Rou''Er explained, "The sect head''s disciple, Yu Ao, offended a genius of the Great Sword Path and even killed a disciple of Great Sword Path¡¯s Elder Sa Jian. As a result, in his anger, Sa Jian brought his men to Tian Ji Sect and razed the entire Tian Ji Sect to the ground." "When did this matter happen? And what was the exact reason that the Great Sword Path was offended?" Mo Wuji still had some doubts. Su Rou''Er answered, "The matter had already happened over 600 years ago. Yu Ao liked a female cultivator from Great Sword Path but that female disciple didn''t like him. So he raped that girl then killed her. Because of this, the Great Sword Path''s Grand Elder was angered and the Grand Elder brought his men over to destroy Tian Ji Sect." Mo Wuji''s face turned ugly; if this was the reason, there was no need to talk about how the other party was a elder of a huge sect, even he would have killed his way to Tian Ji Sect. "Then what about that Yu Ao? Did the Tian Ji Sect Head hand Yu Ao over but that Great Sword Path''s elder ignore that?" Mo Wuji''s tone had noticeably turned cold. Su Rou''Er could naturally feel Mo Wuji''s change in attitude; she sighed in her heart as she answered, "Because Yu Ao is our Tian Ji Sect''s number one disciple, the sect head''s disciple and had a Grand Yi Immortal cultivation before he was even 100 years old, so it was possible for him to realize the dao and become an Immortal Emperor. So the sect head and several elders were not willing to hand Yu Ao over. Moreover, the Great Sword Path¡¯s elder was determined to destroy Tian Ji Sect, it was unknown whether handing Yu Ao over would stop that elder. My master tried to reason with them, she said that even if it wouldn''t change the outcome, Yu Ao must be handed over. It wasn''t simply because she wanted to preserve her life, but because my master thought that a person like Yu Ao should be killed, even if he was a genius." Mo Wuji''s faced eased up, "Then what happened?" Su Rou''Er''s voice went downcast, "Then, my master was killed by the sect head and several elders. They said that she was betraying her honor just to save herself; she did not deserve to be a member of Tian Ji Sect. The few of us decided to escape from Tian Ji Sect. Even though we no longer wish to be a part of Tian Ji Sect, the Great Sword Path bad already considered us to be one of Tian Ji Sect''s evils, it''s already been hundreds of years but they''re still chasing after us. Junior Sister Yi Lan was only accepted as a disciple by my substitute master a few decades ago; she isn''t even from Tian Ji Sect." "Then have the other people from Tian Ji Sect been killed?" Mo Wuji suddenly felt disappointed. The reason why he liked Tian Ji Sect, besides the previous Tian Ji Sect Head from the List Continent, it was also due to the motto of the sect. If Tian Ji Sect only had that motto, and ignored the heinous crimes of its disciples because of talent, then this sect truly deserved to be destroyed. "I heard that they weren''t. A few elders and Yu Ao managed to escape. However, we have already left Tian Ji Sect by then, so whether they managed to successfully escape isn''t our concern," Su Rou''Er said resolutely. Mo Wuji nodded and he didn''t ask any further, he only said, "If you don''t have any where else to go, then stay in my store. I will be leaving for a few years before I return. Of course, if you don''t want to stay, I''m fine with that.¡¯ If this was before, Mo Wuji would definitely have asked for these people to stay here to wait for him to come back and rebuild Tian Ji Sect. Now that he discovered this, even if he was to rebuild a sect, he wouldn''t necessarily rebuild Tian Ji Sect. Chapter 540: The Origin Of The Tian Ji Pole Chapter 540: The Origin Of The Tian Ji Pole Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "May I ask why senior helped us, and is there a reason why senior named your pill house, Tian Ji Pill Court?" Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, Su Rou''Er braved herself and asked. Mo Wuji turned back and said, "Because I was the sect head of Tian Ji Sect, however, my Tian Ji Sect is in the cultivation world. Ever since I entered the Immortal World, I never heard anything of Tian Ji Sect and I always thought that there wasn''t a Tian Ji Sect here. Because of that, I was actually prepared to establish a sect under the name of Tian Ji Sect. But after I heard of the character of your Tian Ji Sect Head, I no longer have such intentions. Even if I want to establish a sect, it will be under a different name. As for this pill house, I may even rename it." As they heard Mo Wuji''s words, Su Rou''Er and co. went into a daze. Immediately, Su Rou''Er kneeled down and said, "Su Rou''Er pleads senior to rebuild Tian Ji Sect." When Bian Huiyu and Yi Lan saw Su Rou''Er kneeling, they quickly followed suit. Mo Wuji looked at Su Rou''Er suspiciously and asked, "Su Rou''Er, when I saved you just now, you didn''t kneel. Why is it that you''ve already detached yourself from Tian Ji Sect but you''re still kneeling to ask me to rebuild Tian Ji Sect?" Su Rou¡¯Er sobbed, "Because Tian Ji Sect didn''t use to be like that. In the entire Immortal World, there is only one sect that wasn''t established by people, but formed naturally. That is our Tian Ji Sect." "What do you mean?" Mo Wuji asked. Su Rou''Er slightly adjusted her emotions before saying, "According to legends, when our Tian Ji Sect''s first sect head, Yuan Yi, discovered Tian Ji Sect, he found a naturally formed sect stone tablet. Sect Head Yuan Yi discovered that the stone tablet was actually a Xiantian treasure. There were only two words on the stone tablet: Tian Ji. Eventually, Sect Head Yuan Yi tried to forcefully refine the Xiantian stone tablet, but it was to no avail. In his anger, he punched the stone tablet. He never expected that this stone tablet, which he couldn''t refine, would actually get shattered by his punch. After the stone tablet broke apart, it actually formed five different items." "What five items? Oh right, sit down first. And the two of you, also sit down properly." After Mo Wuji asked that question, he gestured for the three of them to stop kneeling. Su Rou''Er sat down and continued, "There was a longsword called Tian Ji Sword, a pole made from some unknown material called Tian Ji Pole and two tokens, one black and one white. Additionally, the section of the stone tablet which inscribed the two words ''Tian Ji¡¯ still remained. Sect Head Yuan Yi discovered that there was a map in the black and white token, but that map was too blurry and completely indiscernible." Mo Wuji suddenly thought of his Tian Ji Sect Head Token, didn''t that white token contain a map? Could the map that he couldn''t understand be the same one that Yuan Yi obtained, and it somehow entered the cultivation world? Otherwise, how would the Tian Ji Pole also have ended up with him? "Sect Head Yuan Yi faintly felt that the item from the map wasn''t simple. He spent thousands of years studying the map before he finally came to a conclusion. That was to obtain rewards, he would need to work for it. For him to clearly understand the map on the tokens, he would need to establish Tian Ji Sect. However, after he established Tian Ji Sect, the map remained blurry. Sect Head Yuan Yi did not believe that his conclusion was wrong so he passed his position as the sect head to his disciple, while he prepared a separate body to enter the cultivation world and establish a branch of Tian Ji Sect there¡­" As she said this, Su Rou''Er looked at Mo Wuji and said, "Senior is from the cultivation world''s Tian Ji Sect. That should be the sect successfully established by Sect Head Yuan Yi''s separate body." Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, "Since that''s the case, did that Sect Head Yuan Yi eventually find the place where the map led to?" Su Rou''Er shook her head, "During that time, he brought the white token, Tian Ji Sword and Tian Ji Pole. On the other hand, he left the black token behind as the sect head token here and it had always been passed down till now. After 10,000 years since Sect Yuan Yi left, he sent a message. Sect Head Yuan Yi said that he would die soon, and pointed out that the Tian Ji Sword and the Tian Ji Pole were the keys to opening the map. Ever since then, we no longer received any news of Sect Head Yuan Yi, nor any information of the Tian Ji Pole and Tian Ji Sword." Mo Wuji knew that the Tian Ji Pole and the white token were with him, while the Tian Ji Sword was with Lei Hongji. "You just said that Tian Ji Sect didn¡¯t use to be like this. Then tell me about the current sect head." Mo Wuji was now interested in the blurred map; he also felt that the map wasn¡¯t simple. Ever since he came to the Immortal World to cultivate, he became cognizant of the importance of fate and opportunities. Su Rou¡¯Er caught her breath and continued, "The current Tian Ji Sect Head is called Yuan Gu, my master was killed by him. This person didn¡¯t even deserve to be the Tian Ji Sect Head, he only got this position by plotting against the previous sect head, Sect Head Yan Gechen." "Explain in detail." Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned serious. He was the Tian Ji Sect Head of the cultivation world. If the Tian Ji Sect Head of the Immortal World had been plotted against and had his position wrested away by someone, then Mo Wuji would no longer be courteous. "Sect Head Yan Gechen had a forthright personality and an approachable character. However, he had many dao companions, one of his dao companions was called Yuan Feilu. Yuan Gu was Yuan Feilu¡¯s nephew and he was brought by Yuan Feilu into Tian Ji Sect. My master told me that even though Sect Head Yan had a good disposition, he didn¡¯t really care about the sect matters, which was why the sect became very messy. On the other hand, Yuan Feilu¡¯s nephew Yuan Gu had exceptional talent, his cultivation rose at startling rates. Because of his relationship with Yuan Feilu, he could even gain access to the most secretive places in the sect. Following Yuan Gu¡¯s rise in power, his desires began to expand. He secretly got rid of the loyal elders that opposed him. Eventually, 90% of the upper echelons of Tian Ji Sect were his men. There was one time that Tian Ji Sect was accepting disciples and a female disciple with exceptional talent and gorgeous beauty was taken in. Yuan Gu had his eyes on her but that girl¡¯s principles were very strong and she rejected Yuan Gu. In his anger, Yuan Gu extracted her soul and refined it. He never expected that Sect Head Yan would actually chance upon this scene. Sect Head Yan was enraged and immediately wanted to kill Yuan Gu. However, Yuan Gu¡¯s wings had already hardened; with the help of several elders, he surrounded and killed Sect Head Yan. After Sect Head Yan died, Yuan Gu became the sect head of Tian Ji Sect. If not for a gratitude from Tian Ji Sect, my master would have already left Tian Ji Sect. She never thought that she would still die in Yuan Gu¡¯s hands." Su Rou¡¯Er explained the entire story at a single go. Because she started to reminisce her master, her voice started to choke. "No wonder why they would defend Yu Ao. So it¡¯s an entire gang of snakes," Mo Wuji sneered. Actually Mo Wuji was thoroughly disappointed in Tian Ji Sect. But after he heard Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s words, his idea to rebuild Tian Ji Sect was re-ignited. If the guess of the first Tian Ji Sect Head was right, then he would also fulfil the criteria. The cultivation world¡¯s Tian Ji Sect had been completely destroyed and he was the one who rebuilt it. If he also rebuilt the Immortal World¡¯s Tian Ji Sect, then wouldn¡¯t he fulfil Sect Head Yuan Yi¡¯s first conclusion about opening the map? "It is exactly because of this that I plead senior to rebuild Tian Ji Sect. I don¡¯t wish for Tian Ji Sect to end up in the hands of a person like Yuan Gu." Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s voice was filled with anticipation, as well as a hint of imploration. Mo Wuji nodded, "The three of you can stay in my Tian Ji Pill Court. No one here would dare to touch my pill house. I have an urgent matter which requires me to leave, it will take two to three years. When I return, I would rebuild Tian Ji Sect." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s promise about rebuilding Tian Ji Sect, Su Rou¡¯Er and co. were incomparably emotional. ¡­ Two days later, Mo Wuji concocted large amounts of low grade pills and handed them to Dou Hualong, then he left Sharphorn Immortal Ruins with Lin Gu. Most of the transfer arrays in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins were to the Broken World. Thus, Mo Wuji and Lin Gu had to take a flying ship to Yong Ying Immortal Domain before taking another transfer array. The moment Mo Wuji entered the flying ship, he immediately formed seals and handed the ship over to Lin Gu to control. He wasn¡¯t going to cultivate, nor practise with pills. With his current pill standards, he didn¡¯t even need any last minute grinding. He wanted to refine the two pages of the Book of Luo. Even if he couldn¡¯t refine both of them, he would try to refine one. In Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, he was the Branch Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Those with higher cultivations than him also wouldn¡¯t dare to touch him. For example, that Fu Zhensong had a higher cultivation but he still had to bow to Mo Wuji. However, the moment he left Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and entered some remote area, no one would recognise who he was. If he had another clash with a Grand Yi Immortal like Fu Zhensong, that Grand Yi Immortal would probably try to kill him straight away. Mo Wuji had personally experienced the greatness of the Book of Luo. Now that he had plenty of time and he had two pages of the Book of Luo, he would be an idiot to not refine it. Even though he already knew that refining the Book of Luo would be difficult, he only knew exactly how difficult it was when he actually started doing it; an entire month passed but he had only scratched the surface. Half a year passed. Mo Wuji estimated that he had refined 10% of one of the pages at the very most. At this point, he received a message from Lin Gu that they had already arrived at one of Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s fringe cities, Long Sun Immortal City. Mo Wuji kept the two pages of the Book of Luo and sighed with emotion. With his current cultivation, he would need close to ten years just to refine one of the pages. And this was if nothing went wrong. If a problem arose, then the time would extend indefinitely. However, after refining 10% of the first page, Mo Wuji was especially clear of the Book of Luo¡¯s value. Because he didn¡¯t refine it much, he still didn¡¯t know the attack capabilities of the Book of Luo. However, there was one point that he was sure of, the defensive capabilities of his Book of Luo was multiple times stronger than that chopping board. Seeing Mo Wuji emerge, Lin Gu kept the immortal equipment and asked, "Brother Mo, there¡¯s a transfer array to Yong Ying Immortal City here. Should we gather some news from Long Sun Immortal City, or head directly to Yong Ying Immortal City?" Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say, "Naturally, we would first go to Yong Ying Immortal City. The alchemy competition is only a few months away but we still don¡¯t know anything about how we could take part in the competition." "Alright, then we would immediately go to the transfer array and head to Yong Ying Immortal City," Lin Gu said promptly. In her eyes, as long as Mo Wuji was a cultivator of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, then it would be extremely easy to take part in the competition. Chapter 541: Hello Wen Lianxi Chapter 541: Hello Wen Lianxi Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Most of the Yong Ying Immortal City¡¯s transfer arrays were built outside the Yong Ying Immortal City itself. When Mo Wuji and Lin Gu walked out of the transfer array, the area outside the Yong Ying Immortal City was overcrowded with people. When he first arrived at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, Mo Wuji felt that the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was the most crowded cultivation city he had ever seen. Presently, the number of people outside the Yong Ying Immortal City was no less than the number of people in the Sharphorn Immortal City. Mo Wuji was well aware that this was only because of the upcoming alchemy competition. The moment this competition ended, the numbers in the Yong Ying Immortal City would decrease rapidly. The difference between the Yong Ying Immortal City and Sharphorn Immortal Ruins would be that the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins would always be overcrowded. Another difference between the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and the Yong Ying Immortal City would be that while Mo Wuji was standing outside of the Yong Ying Immortal City, he could already feel a type of emperor aura from this city. The Yong Ying Immortal City was evidently much more majestic than the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. With violet energy shrouding the area, two ethereal jade pillars under neon lights looked extremely grand. Normally, there would at most be two guards at the entrance of an average immortal city. However, in front of the Yong Ying Immortal City¡¯s entrance stood two teams of immortal guards. They were all wearing the same apparels, carrying the same magic treasure and looked imposing. Mo Wuji and Lin Gu walked into the immortal city and there seemed to be even more people on the inside than the outside. In a overcrowded place like this, accommodations must be really tough to find. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t worried because as long as he could find the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he would have plenty of accommodations readied for him. However, Mo Wuji had no intention of doing so yet because his main priority would be to find out how to register to participate in the alchemy competition. "Big Brother Mo, where are we heading to now? Are we going to find the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance?" Lin Gu¡¯s trip here was solely to accompany Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "No, I will go take a look at which powerhouses will be participating¡­ Wait, I see a familiar figure. Wait for me while I go say hi." Lin Gu noticed two women in front of them so when Mo Wuji said this, she guessed that it should be these two women. She hesitated for a while before saying, "My master was pretty infamous here so why don¡¯t I go look for a place to settle down and wait for you to call for me?" Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before agreeing. He knew that Lin Gu¡¯s purpose was simply to accompany him and that Lin Gu had nothing to do with his participation in this alchemy competition. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji handed Lin Gu his reputable elder¡¯s identity token, "If you couldn¡¯t find a place, look for the the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and say that you¡¯re looking for a resthouse for me." Lin Gu knew that there was no reason for her to stand on any ceremony at times like this so all she did was to accept the token, thanked Mo Wuji and then bid goodbye. Mo Wuji took a few steps forward and walked towards a tall lady in a blue dress before clasping his fists and said, "Greetings senior sister, I wonder how Senior Sister Wen Lianxi is doing now?" Mo Wuji had no idea what this tall lady¡¯s name was but he recognised that back when Wen Lianxi saved his life, this tall lady in blue was standing beside her. One reason why Mo Wuji came forward to greet her was indeed because he wanted to thank Wen Lianxi. The second reason was because Mo Wuji wanted to find out which powerhouses that were participating in the alchemy competition were still lacking in pill refiners. Mo Wuji just arrived here so he didn¡¯t even know anyone here. "You are?" This tall lady was held up by Mo Wuji so she simply stopped and looked at Mo Wuji in doubt. "My name is Mo Xinghe," Mo Wuji was a little awkward as he didn¡¯t expect her to not remember him at all. Even though this woman had beautiful eyes, she used her spiritual will to scan Mo Wuji¡¯s storage bag back then which resulted in Mo Wuji¡¯s not-so-good impression of her. "Ah, I remember you now. I really didn¡¯t expect you to be here in the Yong Ying Immortal City, this is¡­" This woman didn¡¯t continue her sentence but Mo Wuji could probably guess what she wanted to say which is how unbelievable it was to see him here. As for changing his name from Mo Wuji to Mo Xinghe, this woman didn¡¯t find it strange because she probably didn¡¯t even remember his name from the onstart. "Yes, yes that¡¯s me and I really wanted to thank Senior Sister Wen for saving me. May I ask if she is here in the Yong Ying Immortal City too?" Mo Wuji said while smiling. Mo Wuji still had very good impressions of Wen Lianxi and even though he had no idea why she even took back a pill furnace from him in the end, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really put it to heart. He wasn¡¯t the type of narrow minded person to only remember the bad sides of people. Furthermore, the pill furnace originally belonged to Wen Lianxi so she had every right to take back what was her¡¯s. Just based on the fact that Wen Lianxi saved his life once, Mo Wuji was already extremely grateful. Additionally, after she no longer needed his help, there was no need for her to help him detoxify the toxin in him but she did it anyway. More ruthless cultivators would never do what she did or at least, they wouldn¡¯t even take the initiative to help him in the first place. The blue dressed woman calmed herself down before saying faintly, "Senior Sister Wen is doing fine so you don¡¯t have to worry. I still have something on so I can¡¯t continue chatting with you." As she finished her sentence, she signalled to the woman beside her and left immediately. Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth remained wide open at the rude actions of this woman. Following which, Mo Wuji shook his head because without mentioning that he looked extremely ordinary now, even if he was wearing majestic clothings, she probably wouldn¡¯t regard him highly. There were numerous people in this world like her so Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind at all. There was still some time before the alchemy competition so Mo Wuji decided to head to a resthouse to find out more news about Zuo Yixian or Cang Heng. If Zuo Yixian and Cang Heng made it back alive, they would definitely visit the Yong Ying Immortal City upon hearing about it in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Back in the Broken World, he had helped them massively so he was confident that getting a slot for him to participate in the competition shouldn¡¯t be too unreasonable. ¡­ "Wenhui, that person knew Lianxi?" After leaving far away from Mo Wuji, the woman beside the woman in a blue dress asked. The blue dressed woman replied, "He is a rogue cultivator from the Corner of Yong Ying and Lianxi saved his life out of good will back then. At that time, he should only be in the Earthly Immortal Stage and I really didn¡¯t expect him to be that capable to advance into a Heavenly Immortal in just a few years time. On top of that, he even managed to come to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain from the Corner of Yong Ying." "But I feel that he looks very ordinary and I couldn¡¯t even feel a tinge of spirituality from him. A person like this can advance into the Heavenly Immortal Stage?" The other woman asked doubtfully. The blue dressed woman answered, "He probably got really lucky but I suggest we leave a person like this alone. Back then, it was because Lianxi helped him that he managed to make use of her¡­ Jiying, we have reached." As the two spoke, they reached a entrance of an extremely high grade hall. The two of them took out their name cards and there was already someone guiding them in. The hall was already filled with over 40 to 50 people and about 80% of the people there were females. Beside everyone was a fragrant immortal fruit and immortal wine. Everyone was simply chatting casually or sitting down and enjoying the wine with each other. "Wenhui, I was about to send a message to you and I certainly didn¡¯t expect you to have reach so early," A soft voice could be heard from a young woman in a faint green dress. "Lianxi, you¡¯ve gotten skinnier again," The woman in blue said helplessly. Even though this woman in a faint green dress was not wearing any veil, Mo Wuji would definitely be able to recognise her as Wen Lianxi if he was here. Wen Lianxi smiled but didn¡¯t say anything while the other woman chuckled and said, "Lianxi is troubled because of love and I really wonder who would be this fortunate to be able to be on Lianxi¡¯s mind. Oh yes, we even met an admirer of Lianxi on our way here earlier on. He was even asking about you and if it wasn¡¯t for Wenhui, he might have followed us all the way here." "Who is it?" Wen Lianxi asked casually. The woman in blue dress replied, "It was that rogue cultivator we met many years ago in the Corner of Yong Ying. The Mo guy who kept boasting about him being a Pill Monarch?" As she said this, the woman in blue dress couldn¡¯t help but chuckled, "Maybe that fella heard about this Yong Ying Immortal Domain Pill Alchemy Competition and is preparing to participate in it¡­" "Ah¡­" Following this, Wen Lianxi glared and grabbed at the woman in blue, "Wenhui, where did he go? Hurry, tell me now." Wen Lianxi spoke so anxiously that her words couldn¡¯t even be heard clearly. Her anxious tone and trembling hands were evidence of how unstable her emotions were. "Lianxi, you¡­" Wenhui looked suspiciously at Wen Lianxi. "Wenhui, hurry up and tell me now," Wen Lianxi was so impatient that she almost cried out. Seeing how anxious Wen Lianxi was, Wenhui didn¡¯t dare to ask anymore as she replied, "Earlier on, Jiying and I met him on the streets and he called out for me to ask about you. I didn¡¯t bother about him and he didn¡¯t continue pestering me¡­" Wenhui hadn¡¯t complete her sentence and Wen Lianxi had already rushed out. Wen Lianxi was so desperate she wished her spiritual will could scan through this entire place. However, in this place streets that were further away would be obstructed by some spiritual will restrictions. A slightly familiar back view flashed across her spiritual will and following which, that back view entered a resthouse by the street. Wen Lianxi¡¯s heart which already beating very quickly started to jump around wildly as she hurried to that resthouse. She totally didn¡¯t consider if her actions were embarrassing or appropriate. In the years that Wen Lianxi had lived, she didn¡¯t recall herself ever being so excited. Many people entered and left the resthouse constantly so Wen Lianxi¡¯s eyes swept across the entire hall once. The moment she saw a familiar figure at the corner of the hall, tears started to form uncontrollably at the corner of her eyes. In just a few steps, she dashed forward and stood in front of Mo Wuji. "You¡­" Mo Wuji saw Wen Lianxi standing in front of him and even though this was a face he had never seen before, he felt a deep sense of familiarity in her. In just a few moments¡¯ time, Mo Wuji recognised her and realised that the person standing in front of him was the woman she had been asking about earlier on. He didn¡¯t expect that Wen Lianxi would appear right in front of him when he was still searching for her. Chapter 542: Grand Alchemy Competition’s Slot Chapter 542: Grand Alchemy Competition¡¯s Slot Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You are Senior Sister Wen," Mo Wuji said in joy and then hurried to point to the chair opposite him, "Senior Sister Wen, I was just asking around if you came to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain." Wen Lianxi¡¯s excitement had yet to die away but as she recalled how she treated Mo Wuji previously, her face blushed. When Mo Wuji called for her, she hurried to bow and then said, "Pill Master Mo, please don¡¯t address me as Senior Sister. If you still respect me, Pill Master Mo can address me directly as Lianxi." "Alright Lianxi, please take a seat," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind because in terms of cultivation, he was still slightly higher than Wen Lianxi. In terms of status, he was not too far off to address her as Lianxi. Only upon hearing this, Wen Lianxi sat down cautiously before saying, "Pill Master Mo, I was blind to have thought of you as a cheater back then." Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before saying, "Actually, you were not wrong because I did lie to you back then." "Ah¡­" Wen Lianxi looked surprisingly at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji explained helplessly, "Back then, I was a peak grade Tier 3 Pill Monarch and could also be considered to be a low grade Pill King. However, I claimed to be a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Master which was a lie." Only Mo Wuji was aware that his statement of his was the lie and his claim back then held more truth. However, he had no choice but to lie because there would be problems if he didn¡¯t lie and then went on to display the skills of a Pill King in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition. If he were to mention that he was a Tier 3 Pill Monarch previously, it wouldn¡¯t be too much of a surprise for him to have became a Pill King now. "I know, I know and I have truly let Pill Master Mo down. Back then, I¡­" Wen Lianxi spoke and was about to stand up. Mo Wuji used his hand to prevent Wen Lianxi from standing up before smiling, "We shall let bygones be bygones and if it wasn¡¯t for your life-saving grace, I wouldn¡¯t even be sitting in front of you now. This was the main reason why I didn¡¯t put that incident to heart so you don¡¯t have to worry about it." One look at Wen Lianxi¡¯s expression and he knew that Wen Lianxi was apologetic about poisoning him back then. However, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t mind the fact that she placed a poison in him not because she wanted to harm him but because she didn¡¯t know him. Anyone else, including himself, would have done the same. Moreover, Wen Lianxi did take the initiative to hand him the antidote because if he didn¡¯t receive the antidote, he wouldn¡¯t bother sitting in front of her now. It was solely because of the antidote which made Mo Wuji extremely grateful for Wen Lianxi. Back then, he still wasn¡¯t fully aware of the uses of the elemental storage channel so without Wen Lianxi, he wouldn¡¯t have any idea on recovering his cultivation. In a place like the Corner of Yong Ying, if he didn¡¯t have any strength, he would be killed by others easily. Furthermore, if it wasn¡¯t for Wen Lianxi, he would never have gotten the Grass, Wood, Stone. One must know that the Grass, Wood, Stone was of massive help to Mo Wuji and it was one of the main reason why he could advance so quickly to become a Pill King. Of course, the other main reason would be his own extraordinary Pill Dao. There were far too many people in this world who only remember the bad of people. Even if someone were to treat one well for the entire life, as long as one did something unsatisfactory, the same person would remember it for life. As for the good, one would completely forget it immediately. Back on earth, Mo Wuji watched an interview before. It was about a young girl who left house after being reprimanded by her mother. When she was starving and freezing on her own outside, a kind hearted uncle gave her a bowl of noodles to eat. After that, she was extremely grateful and believed that this uncle treated her better than her parents and even wanted to acknowledge this uncle as his father. At this moment, she forgot how she came to this world and who fed her through her growing years. This was a bad habit deeply rooted in a human¡¯s heart but Mo Wuji was definitely not someone like that. He would never forget Wen Lianxi¡¯s kind acts over some unimportant matters. Because of this gratitude, he would completely forget all the other unimportant matters which made him different from the rest. "You knew back then that I placed poison in you?" Even though she knew the answer, Wen Lianxi still sounded it out. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Back then, I was afterall a pill master who was close to being a pill king but what made me glad was the fact that you brought me the antidote eventually." At this moment, if there was a gap on the ground, Wen Lianxi would force herself through it to avoid the embarrassment. She wasn¡¯t restrained by Mo Wuji¡¯s act of stopping her as she stood up and bowed, "Thank you Big Brother Mo for your magnanimity to forgive a clueless person like me." Wen Lianxi understood Mo Wuji¡¯s words which meant to say that even if she didn¡¯t hand him the antidote, the poison wouldn¡¯t have affected Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said that he was grateful that she handed him the antidote but it wasn¡¯t true gratitude but a confirmation of her character. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be qualified to be talking to him like she was now. After she finished, Wen Lianxi continued, "The reason why I came here today is because I wish to ask Big Brother Mo for your help." Mo Wuji nodded, "Say it, as long as it is within my means, I will go all out to help you." Wen Lianxi sat back down and even though she was slightly embarrassed to say it, for her father and for Water Ying Immortal City, she had no other choice, "Big Brother Mo, are you aware of the upcoming Grand Alchemy Competition held by the Yong Ying Immortal Domain?" "Yes I am aware," Mo Wuji was definitely aware because this was also the reason why he was here and even if Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t ask, he would ask her about it. Wen Lianxi didn¡¯t find it surprising because to her, Mo Wuji might have already become a Pill King now and his trip here would definitely be for the Yunxian Immortal Valley. "Actually, other than the Yunxian Immortal Valley was another important reason for the Grand Alchemy Competition," Wen Lianxi continued. "What reason?" Mo Wuji asked. Wen Lianxi regained her composure before saying in a gentle tone, "Because after this competition, a few lower grade immortal cities of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain would turn into subsidiary cities of other cities and lose its sovereignty. If they performed well, the lower grade immortal cities could advance to become a intermediate or even top grade immortal cities." Mo Wuji inquire curiously, "What does that mean? I know there are three grades of immortal cities but I have never heard of subsidiary cities." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t completely clueless as to the grades of immortal cities. In the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, the Yong Ying Immortal City was considered to be a first class immortal city, a Heavenly Emperor¡¯s immortal city. Following which would be high grade immortal city, intermediate grade immortal city and low grade immortal city. The best high grade immortal city could even be as strong as a Heavenly Emperor¡¯s immortal city. For example, young castellan Zuo Yixian came from the Sea Canopy Immortal City and it was of similar status as this Yong Ying Immortal City. Wen Lianxi knew that Mo Wuji should have just arrived from the Corner of Yong Ying so he wouldn¡¯t know too much about all these hence, she wasn¡¯t too surprised. She simply explained, "Subsidiary immortal cities are intermediate or high grade immortal cities¡¯ vassals and the castellan of these subsidiary cities would listen to every order of the intermediate or high grade immortal cities. Normally, the castellan of the subsidiary cities would be killed and every output produced from the subsidiary cities would belong to someone else but themselves. My father is the castellan of the Water Ying Immortal City and if my Water Ying Immortal City were to turn into a subsidiary city, my family would have no escape route. Even my mother and I would have to be attached to someone else and my father would most probably be killed. Therefore, I would like to request Big Brother Mo to represent my Water Ying Immortal City in the competition this time round and save my entire clan." Mo Wuji finally understood why Wen Lianxi was so anxious when she first saw him. Mo Wuji had originally intended to look for a powerhouse to represent so that he could participate in the Grand Alchemy Competition. This would be the perfect opportunity for him to help Wen Lianxi. As he noticed how nervous Wen Lianxi was as she grabbed onto her dress tightly, Mo Wuji chuckled, "I was still wondering what could it be. I was intending to participate in the competition and since this is the case, bring me to meet your father." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Wen Lianxi handed a jade token to Mo Wuji excitedly, "There is no need to meet my father. My Water Ying Immortal City has two slots for the competition and my father gave me one which made me free to choose anyone. Wen Lianxi had no other choice which was why she was at the Yong Ying Immortal City¡¯s Celebrity Immortal Conference. The conference would gather a few more notable and reputable young cultivators which she hoped to find someone capable. Eventually, she heard news of Mo Wuji was why she hurried over. Mo Wuji took over the jade token and comforted her, "I have accepted your request so do not worry. Oh yes, are there any restrictions for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition?" "There are only the age and domains restriction. The first condition would be that one must come from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and the second condition would be that one must not be older than 500 years old. In the competition this time round, one must aim for the top 50," The rock in Wen Lianxi¡¯s heart was finally removed as she saw Mo Wuji accepting the token. Mo Wuji was someone who Pill King Lian Tan admired so he mustn¡¯t be too poor. Mo Wuji pondered for a while before saying, "Previously, I¡¯ve done something in the Corner of Yong Ying so I wish to change my name to Mo Xinghe to represent the Water Ying Immortal City this time round." Wen Lianxi hurried to say, "I¡¯m aware of all those incidents but those aren¡¯t important right now. After the incident regarding the Lifeless River, nobody bothered about the incident at the Corner of Yong Ying. Even though someone complained to the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor didn¡¯t have any reaction too. Furthermore, the people you killed back then were some unimportant people so naturally, nobody paid too much attention to it." Mo Wuji knew that Wen Lianxi was a little too simplistic as he was friends with Zuo Yixian and Cang Heng, he knew that the incident involving the Corner of Yong Ying and the Yong Ying Prison was not that simple. Even if the Half Immortal Domain collapsed and the Corner of Yong Ying wasn¡¯t given as much attention as the past, he would still invite a lot of unnecessary troubles the moment he was found out. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t fearful of that because he came to participate in this Grand Alchemy Competition with something to depend on. Given his status as an Honoured Grade Elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, nobody would dare to touch him even if they knew he came from the Half Immortal Domain. He wanted to change his name only because he really didn¡¯t want too much troubles. After finding a slot for himself to participate in the competition, Mo Wuji¡¯s spirits was lifted as he stood up, "Since this is the case, I will head back to rest first and when the competition starts, I will definitely not waste any time." Mo Wuji was desperate to find a place to refine his Book of Luo. There was still about half a year before the competition begins so it would be a waste if he didn¡¯t make full use of this spare time. Wen Lianxi stood up together with Mo Wuji and she was also feeling much better than when she first arrived. Before she had a chance to bid goodbye to Mo Wuji, her communication bracelet lit up. Just as Wen Lianxi¡¯s spiritual will landed on the bracelet, her face turned pale instantly. Chapter 543: Offending The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Chapter 543: Offending The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What happened?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. After all, Wen Lianxi was still the young castellan of a low grade immortal city and now that he had agreed to help represent her city in the competition, what else could cause her to be this worried? "Something happened to the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition¡­" Wen Lianxi found it hard to say these words and she seemed to have lost the power to be assertive in her speech. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold because he was more concerned over this competition than anyone else. What he was concerned about was the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley after this alchemy competition so if something happened to the alchemy competition and they decided not to open the Yunxian Immortal Valley, where could he go to find his Underworld Heart Flower "What happened there?" Mo Wuji managed to regain his composure very quickly. "My father sent me a message saying that the Heavenly Immortal was pressured by a lot of experts to change the conditions of the competition. To remove the restriction to the domains and the age limit.." Wen Lianxi¡¯s voice was filled with disappointment. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief because the competition wasn¡¯t cancelled and the only change would be that the stature of pill refiners participating would be much higher than before. However, he should still be able to participate in the competition right? So why was Wen Lianxi so disappointed? After pondering for a while, Mo Wuji finally understood why Wen Lianxi was as disappointed as she looked. The removal of these restrictions meant that any pill refiner of any immortal domain would be able to participate and even Pill Emperors would be eligible to participate. In such a scenario, Wen Lianxi believed that Mo Wuji would no longer be able to get into the top 50 with this increased level of competitiveness. Try imagining who wouldn¡¯t want to visit a place like the Yunxian Immortal Valley? Even some Pill Emperors would be interested so let alone the members of the all the other huge sects and Sky Lords. What did it signify for one¡¯s future the moment one managed to obtain a Tier 9 Immortal Herb? "Lianxi, you don¡¯t have to worry because this wouldn¡¯t affect us too greatly," Mo Wuji comforted her with this sentence. Mo Wuji was truly not worried because he was after all an honoured grade Tier 5 Pill King who could even concoct low grade Tier 6 pills. This meant that he could also be considered as a Tier 6 Pill King. Given his present strength, even if all the pill refining experts in the immortal domain participated, it shouldn¡¯t be too huge a task for him to get into the top 50. Mo Wuji was well aware that there wasn¡¯t too many Pill Emperors even if you looked across all 7 immortal domains. Furthermore, the Pill Emperors might not even participate in the competition and so what even if they do lower their ego to participate? He only had to get into the top 50 and not the top 5. Mo Wuji could also guess the reason why the Heavenly Emperor was pressured. It should be because experts from the other domains were jealous of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Yunxian Immortal Valley so they pressured the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Sky Lord to increase their odds of earning a slot to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley via the competition. "My father requested for me to return the jade token immediately¡­" Wen Lianxi found it hard to break this to Mo Wuji. Initially, it was extremely tough to find a strong pill refiner to represent the Water Ying Immortal City but now, there were simply way too many pill refiners that could help them such that the Water Ying Immortal City didn¡¯t even need to go looking for them and these experts would come looking for them. Mo Wuji was able to empathise with Wen Lianxi because there were indeed way too many pill experts from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and even he was from the alliance. Mo Wuji was certain that all the strong and experienced pill refiners of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would be going around looking for participation slots just like him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue to promise Wen Lianxi anything because there were way too many experts around and even if he was confident he could get into the top 50, he wasn¡¯t 100% certain as well. Moreover, he had already told Wen Lianxi that it wouldn¡¯t affect their odds of getting into the top 50 so if Wen Lianxi really wanted to take his participation slot back, there was nothing he could do. However, he believed that even without Wen Lianxi¡¯s jade token, he would still have his ways of getting a slot for the competition. At the very most, he would just take out his Pill Dao Immortal Alliance honoured grade elder¡¯s identity token. Noticing Wen Lianxi¡¯s pale face, Mo Wuji continued, "I am 70% certain that I could get into the top 50 for the Water Ying Immortal City. Also, let me say something which might not be too pleasant to your ears. Even if you were to take this jade token back and give it to someone else to represent you, the outcome wouldn¡¯t be any better." Why would Wen Lianxi not know how true Mo Wuji last sentence was? Without the restrictions put in place, the Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s competitive strength would not be very high. All the decent Pill Kings would have been taken away by the others and they could only choose from the pool of below average Pill Kings. Normally, Tier 4 or 5 Pill Kings were considered to be quite incredible but in this competition, they wouldn¡¯t mean much and could even be considered to be the weakest among all the other competitors. "Big Brother Mo, I trust you. You should stay here first while I go talk to my father. When the time comes, all you need to do is to represent the Water Ying Immortal City in this competition," Wen Lianxi finally made up her mind. She had already made a mistake once and if she were to make another mistake yet again by asking for the jade token back, it wouldn¡¯t be a misunderstanding anymore. It would be a problem with her character. After saying what she needed to say, Wen Lianxi bowed to Mo Wuji and left. Mo Wuji hurried to stop Wen Lianxi, "Hold on, let¡¯s exchange messages for communication purposes." Wen Lianxi shook her head, "It''s okay because I am worried that my father might force me to spill the beans. I have to leave now so thank you Big Brother Mo in advance." Wen Lianxi was truly worried because even if his father didn¡¯t force her, her mother would be nagging by her ear to get her to reveal Mo Wuji¡¯s identity. Watching Wen Lianxi hurrying out of the resthouse, Mo Wuji sighed. He recalled the equally stunning Ji Yue and how she was constantly using others. Be it Ji Yue or Murong Xiangyu, their characters were simply not a match for Wen Lianxi. Just as Mo Wuji was about to send Ji Yue a message, he received Ji Yue¡¯s message saying that she didn¡¯t use his identity token and found an accommodation at the Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse. She had even booked a room for him. ¡­ Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse was the number one immortal resthouse in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Whether it was the location in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain or grandness of its architecture, it was second to none in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Even though Water Ying Immortal City was only a low grade immortal city, the castellan, Wen Hou, was still qualified to stay in the Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse. Presently within a room on the fourth level of the Ying Valley Immortal Resthouse, Wen Lianxi stood in the centre with her head lowered and hands by the side. There were 4 people seated on top and other than Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s castellan, Wen Hou, there was also Tier 4 Pill King Tan Liang who was supposed to help the Water Ying Immortal City in this alchemy competition. Even though Tan Liang was only a Tier 4 Pill King, he was the representative of the highest alchemy standard for Water Ying Immortal City. One of the other two people seated was a man wearing a crown who was expressionless as if he didn¡¯t bother about anything. The last person had an air of arrogance around him as he looked at Wen Lianxi loftily. Even Wen Lianxi¡¯s mother could only sit somewhere further away from them. "Lianxi, hurry up and greet the two Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng," The moment Wen Lianxi entered the room, Wen Hou hurried to remind her. Wen Lianxi bowed obediently, "Wen Lianxi greets Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng." Geng Ji didn¡¯t react as he appeared as though he didn¡¯t hear Wen Lianxi¡¯s greetings while Di Baisheng simply maintained his proud face before nodding at her. Wen Hou said in a hurry, "Lianxi, quickly take out the jade token for the alchemy competition. Pill King Geng Ji and Pill King Di Baisheng are both Tier 5 Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and it is truly our Water Ying Immortal CIty¡¯s blessing that both of them are willing to represent us in this competition¡­" "How about Uncle Tan?" Wen Lianxi was shocked as she temporarily forgot that she couldn¡¯t take out the jade token and was worried for Tan Liang instead. Tan Liang had been giving his all for the Water Ying Immortal City and kicking Uncle Tan Liang out immediately after someone slightly more capable wanted to participate in the competition seemed a little too absurd right? Tan Liang heard that Wen Lianxi was concerned about him so he hurried to laugh it off, "Lianxi, don¡¯t have to worry about me. I am happy now that we have Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to help represent our Water Ying Immortal City." Wen Hou nodded, "Lianxi, you don¡¯t have to worry about all these so just pass me the jade token for the competition." "Father, I am sorry but I cannot get the jade token back anymore¡­" When Wen Hou heard this, his face turned solemn because he passed a jade token to his daughter, a daughter he adored so much and a daughter who knew it was impossible to find a better participant than Tan Liang. If even Tan Liang couldn¡¯t get into the top 50, why would any random pill refiner that Wen Lianxi found be able to do so? Now that the Water Ying Immortal City had some glimpses of hope, how could he allow his daughter to give the precious jade token away so casually? Furthermore, how could he offend these two people beside him? "Lianxi, you have to be understanding and quickly hand the jade token over," Even Wen Lianxi¡¯s mother, Yan Qianling couldn¡¯t help but to comment. Wen Lianxi lifted her head and said sincerely, "Father and mother, I am truly unable to get the jade token back because I¡¯ve met a pill refiner who said he will represent my Water Ying Immortal City in this competition so I gave him the jade token. When we parted, I forgot to ask him for a communication bead so even I have no idea where he is now." After Wen Lianxi said this, the few people in the room exchanged glances. The nonchalant Geng Ji finally opened his eyes widely as all he did was grunt with a face of unhappiness, "Since the Water Ying Immortal City has someone so capable to participate in this competition, you shouldn¡¯t need us anymore. We shall make our move first." Immediately after he said this, Geng Ji stood up and soon after, Di Baisheng followed suit. "These two Pill Kings please hold on because I will definitely find the jade token and send it directly to both your hands," Wen Hou stood up anxiously as he said this. "Since this is the case, find us after Castellan Wen had found the jade token," Immediately after this, Geng Ji and Di Baisheng no longer cared about Wen Hou as they simply left their seats and left the room. "Lianxi, you are in huge trouble," After the two Pill Kings left, Yan Qianling sighed. She couldn¡¯t understand why her obedient daughter would ever make such an absurd move. "Father and mother, since the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition loosened up with the rules, even Pill King Geng and Pill King Di might not be able to¡­" Wen Lianxi was kind in nature so she didn¡¯t say that they would not be able to earn the slots even if they were to enter and represent us. Wen Hou¡¯s face was still serious as he didn¡¯t bother about Wen Lianxi. Yan Qianling sighed once more before saying, "Lianxi, do you know how serious the consequences would be now that we have rejected the help of two Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? Ai¡­" Wen Lianxi¡¯s heart turned heavy as she had forgotten that those two were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Even the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Sky Lord had to be respectful to the Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Now that she mentioned she no longer had a pill token with her, they must be thinking that the Water Ying Immortal City was messing with them. The Water Ying Immortal City was already filled with troubles but now, she had offended two more important figures. Chapter 544: A Messier Situation Chapter 544: A Messier Situation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Noticing that her daughter was in a loss, Yan Qianling¡¯s heart ached because this daughter was her husband¡¯s sweetheart. Moreover, their daughter¡¯s actions were for the good of the Water Ying Immortal City as well. Yan Qianling hurried to add in, "Husband, Wen Lianxi was not wrong because even if we were to let them represent us, it would be extremely hard for two Tier 5 Pill Kings to get into the top 300 let alone top 50 with the lack of restrictions now. I was wondering why don¡¯t we let Big Brother Tan Liang represent the Water Ying Immortal City? Since we are going to fail, why should we give this opportunity to outsiders? At the very most, we would leave the Water Ying Immortal City immediately after the competition." Wen Lianxi regained her composure and said, "Father, I think mother is right because there is no need for us to curry favour with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance since we have already offended them. It would at least be a good experience for Uncle Tan to participate in this competition." Tan Liang sighed, "I have no objections to this. If I were to participate in the competition with the previous rules in place, I will still have a slight chance but I am certain that I would not have any chances now." After remaining silent for quite some time, Wen Hou finally spoke, "Lianxi and your mother are right. Brother Tan, you and I are like true brothers so you shall represent us in the competition this time round. In the event that we lost, we shall leave immediately. I believe there would be some time before the Water Ying Immortal City turned into a subsidiary city so we should be fine as long as we leave before that happens. Everyone fell silent because everyone including Wen Lianxi knew that Wen Hou¡¯s words were to comfort them only. After the competition ended, those who left the city would be dealt more severely if they were caught. Only after a while, Tan Liang answered, "Alright, we would at most leave together. I will also take a look if I have any chance of entering the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance if all else fails." Wen Lianxi felt extremely horrible at the sight of her father and mother¡¯s dejected looks. She recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s guarantee and was hesitant as to whether or not she should let her parents know. However, she was fearful that after she said that and if Mo Wuji failed, it would only make them even more disappointed. "Lianxi, are you still hiding something from us?" Wen Lianxi¡¯s mother, Yan Qianling knew her own daughter extremely well so she could tell that Wen Lianxi appeared as if she still had something to say. Even Wen Hou could tell so he chuckled, "Lianxi, things couldn¡¯t get any worse so just speak your mind freely. No matter what happens, our family will never be split apart. I, Wen Hou, had been in the Immortal World for so many years so what have I not encountered before?" Wen Lianxi agreed so she replied, "The pill refiner who I invited told me that he was 70% certain¡­" Hearing Wen Lianxi¡¯s words, even Tan Liang didn¡¯t look too pleasant. 70%? After the changes of the rules, even a Tier 6 Pill King would not dare to be 70% certain of earning a slot so could he be a Pill Emperor? "Lianxi, please don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re cheated," Yan Qianling furrowed her brows. Wen Lianxi hurried to say, "No, it was the pill refiner whom I met at the Corner of Yong Ying and even Uncle Tan praised him. Who knew that I would meet him at the Yong Ying Immortal City." "Its him?" Tan Liang¡¯s expression looked slightly better as he simply sighed, "Before the changes to the rules, he would definitely be 70% certain of getting a slot no, should be 90%. However, after the rules change, even Pill Emperors would be participating, sigh¡­" Wen Hou also got excited as he hurried to ask, "Brother Tan, previously, you felt that the essence he extracted was 100% pure and normally, pill competitions require competitors to purify immortal herbs." Tan Liang nodded, "I dare to guarantee that in time to come, this pill refiner would be a Pill Emperor. Only an unbelievable genius would be able to purify a herb to 100% purity because even a Tier 6 Pill King might not be able to do so. The pity was that before he could fully reach his potential, the rules had to change now. My guess is that even the person who came in 50th would be at least a Tier 6 Pill King. In a competition of such high standards, even if they were required to purify herbs, it would be immortal herbs which are Tier 4 and above. The difficulty of purifying such herbs would definitely be incomparable to lower grade herbs¡­" As he said this, Tan Liang paused as he looked at Wen Lianxi before saying. "Lianxi, whether we succeed or fail, you have to introduce him to me after the competition. This person has limitless potential and would definitely be someone who many will look upon in the near future." Yan Qianling suddenly thought of something as she looked at her husband, "Husband, what do you think about letting Lianxi and that Mo Wuji fella get married?" Wen Hou¡¯s eyes lit up because he trusted Tan Liang¡¯s judgement and since Tan Liang said that his potential is limitless, it would definitely be limitless. The moment the Wen Clan has a Pill Emperor as a son-in-law, who would dare touch them? Even Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun wouldn¡¯t dare to touch his Wen Clan as he wished. As for Wen Lianxi, the couple was very confident because she was gentle, knowledgeable and was the Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s number one beauty. "Mother, what are you talking about? I have only met him twice," Wen Lianxi¡¯s entire face blushed. ¡­ Following Mo Wuji¡¯s closed doors cultivation, the originally crowded Yong Ying Immortal City transformed into an even messier situation. The main reason was because of the new changes to the rules which allowed every pill refiner to enter compared to the previous rule which only Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s pill refiners who were below the age of 500 could join. The reason why pill refiners took so long to progress was because pill refining had always been tough. A good pill refiner would have went through tens and hundreds of years of hardwork to gain the experience and knowledge. One could imagine how many incredible pill refiners would come forward to join as soon as this new rule was implemented. This was especially so for pill refiners stuck in the world of cultivation solely for the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley. When the new rule was implemented, the fight for the slots to participate for the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was comparatively more reserved. After all, the Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance just needed to visit the lower grade Immortal Cities and the castellans of these cities would welcome them with both slots readied for them. All they needed to do was to represent these cities in the competition. Till the end when the participation slots were getting lesser, even Pill Kings had to fight among themselves for a chance to participate in this competition. Even if all of them were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, they were ruthless to each other when fighting for their slots. Geng Ji and Di Baisheng, who both left the Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s castellan¡¯s residence angrily, had no choice but to find him again. Even if they didn¡¯t have both slots, one slot would suffice. "Wen Hou greets both Pill Kings," Wen Hou¡¯s family welcomed both Pill Kings back to their living room and if Wen Hou was anxious to not these two leave previously, he was hoping that these two didn¡¯t visit him once again. Geng Ji nodded his head and asked faintly, "Castellan Wen, have you found that slot?" "Ah, I couldn¡¯t find it," Wen Hou sighed sincerely. The reason why he sighed was not because of the loss of the slot but was because these two were here again. Geng Ji furrowed his brows and said, "Since this is the case, why don¡¯t you just hand us the remaining slot? Don¡¯t worry because both Baisheng and I are Tier 5 Pill Kings of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance so we would definitely do our best to produce the best results." Wen Hou started to feel embarrassed because even if Tan Liang was his friend, he shouldn¡¯t keep changing his decision and treat him like a disposable as when he wished. Wen Lianxi, who was standing by the side, "Lianxi greets both Pill Kings. My father was enraged at me for being foolish to give someone else the slots and for causing both of you to not have a slot to represent us. Therefore, he had given up on this alchemy competition and simply gave the remaining slot to someone else." Geng Ji was furious as he really didn¡¯t expect Wen Hou to be so daring. If Wen Hou hadn¡¯t offended them previously, he certainly did now. "Very well, then I hope your Water Ying Immortal City would find an expert to get a good result," Geng Ji couldn¡¯t even be bothered to take a seat as he simply left with Di Baisheng. Wen Hou sighed once more, "What is destined to happen will happen and since something like this is cursed to happen to our Wen Clan, we wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid it anyway." ¡­ The Yong Ying Immortal City was filled with hustle and bustle and the few months long fight for participation slots finally came to an end. Furthermore, the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Grand Alchemy Competition had drawn its curtain. Mo Wuji was called out by Lin Gu and he had already refined 30% of the first page of the Book of Luo. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but to sigh at the worthlessness of time because he had already been behind closed doors for over a year. "Thank you, Lin Gu," Even if Mo Wuji had already greeted Lin Gu previously, he still felt the need to thank her. This alchemy competition was the most important event to him now so he would never be able to forgive himself if he missed it. Lin Gu smiled, "For the competition this time round, I¡¯ve even seen Immortal Emperors experts here. Two of your Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Pill Emperors were also here and even the Vice Alliance Head of your Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was seen in the Yong Ying Immortal City." "Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s head towards the competition venue. Even though I am from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, I have no idea who the Vice Alliance Head was and I only knew Pill Emperor Nong Yong. I wonder if he is here today," Mo Wuji said while packing his clothes. "He isn¡¯t here yet as it seems. One of the Pill Emperor is called Gong Yangxue and the other one is called Heng Jun. Both of them seemed to be representing two different immortal cities," Lin Gu continued to explain while Mo Wuji packed. Mo Wuji was full of regrets because he joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance not because he liked it a lot but because he needed to find a place to protect himself. He had yet to meet the important figures of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance as well as the President of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Branch. Mo Wuji had only met Nong Yong and if Pill Emperor Nong Yong was here, he was intending to thank him properly. Now that Nong Yong wasn¡¯t here, he could only regret. ¡­ The venue for the alchemy competition this time round was the biggest open roof plaza in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s largest plaza would naturally be the Yong Ying Immortal Plaza. Even if millions of people were to gather here in the Yong Ying Immortal Plaza, it wouldn¡¯t appear clustered and was even slightly spacious for everyone here. Chapter 545: First Round Of Competition Chapter 545: First Round Of Competition Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At this instant, there were at least a million people here in Yong Ying Immortal Plaza. Because there were too many people, several of the seals around the plaza had been opened, this was to make things more convenient for the cultivators here to spectate the grand alchemy competition. When Mo Wuji and Lin Gu arrived, this place was already filled to the brim. If not for a pathway specially for contesting pill refiners, the two of them would have to squeeze their way through go enter the competition area. Fortunately, every contestant had a identity token which gives them two seats at the front. Thus, even though Mo Wuji and Lin Gu came relatively late, they were still able to find seats with the identity token. Even after the two sat down, the alchemy competition didn''t begin. People were continuously streaming to the seats at the front, and soon, the seats around Mo Wuji were filled with people. Many of these people carried a heavy pill fragrance. There was no need to ask them to know that they were the pill refiners taking part in the competition. The two did not sit for long when a person actually came to Mo Wuji''s side and asked to buy his identity token using immortal crystals. Naturally, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to reject him. Fortunately, they were in plain view, otherwise, his identity token might actually get snatched away. In front of where the pill refiners were sitting, there were two distinct regions. One was a stage that was roughly one to two meters higher than the plaza. It was quite spacious and there were rows of earth fire entrances. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to know that this would be the competition area. Further in front, there was an even higher altar. Mo Wuji guessed that it was for the judges and other big figures to sit. After waiting for four whole hours, ten people walked up to the main altar. As they were walking up, the originally noisy plaza quietened down. Even though there were more than a million people here, they were so quiet that you couldn''t even hear the sound of their breathing. A middle-aged man with a forthright appearance and a powerful aura walked to the front of the main altar. He first clasped his fists to the crowd before speaking loudly, "As the Heavenly Emperor of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, I, Kui Fengyun, represent Yong Ying Immortal Domain to welcome the immortal friends that come from the various other Immortal Domains. Even though I am the Heavenly Emperor of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, today, I am like everyone else, a spectator; spectating the most outstanding pill refiners in our entire Immortal Domain display their prowess. This is my honor, as well as my Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s honor." This was Mo Wuji''s first time seeing a Quasi-Emperor level expert. This Kui Fengyun did look like a heroic figure filled with courage and valor. However, he didn''t know whether this Kui Fengyun was just as Lin Gu said; a fake gentleman. As Kui Fengyun got to this point, he slightly retreated backwards. He waited for the people behind him to stand forward before he continued, "At the same time, I welcome Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s vice alliance head, Immortal Friend Hu Zhenyu, Luo Ling Immortal Domain''s Quasi-Emperor Mo He, Mahesvara Immortal Domain''s Quasi-Emperor Song Yang, Vast Ocean Immortal School''s School Master Wan Fan¡­" Everyone that was introduced by Kui Fengyun was either a powerful figure or a Quasi-Emperor expert. Mo Wuji paid special attention to Wan Fan, this fella was the School Master of Vast Ocean Immortal School, and Mo Wuji¡¯s enmity with the Vast Ocean Immortal School was not shallow. There was no need to talk about how Bai Chitian was killed by even, even that Fu Bei had been sent fleeing because of him. He would need to be careful of this fella, if this fella were to find out about the things he had done, then there would be trouble. "My Yong Ying Immortal Domain values fair competition. In this current alchemy competition, we specially changed the rules of the competition, allowing pill refiners from any Immortal Domain to participate in the competition. However, because of the limited places, there would still be some pill experts that are unable to participate. I, Kui Fengyun, would like to express my apologies for that¡­" As he finished speaking, Kui Fengyun bowed. Mo Wuji thought that this was really laughable; this fella must be angered horribly. Allowing pill refiners from all Immortal Domains to participate definitely wasn¡¯t this Kui Fengyun idea; it was definitely due to the pressures from the other Immortal Domain. It was understandable that he wanted to say some high-sounding words about this. "I, Kui Fengyun, have always been open and candid in the way I do things. So, to ensure the fairness of the competition, this competition will start in the fastest of methods and end in the fastest of ways." Mo Wuji saw the disdain in Lin Gu¡¯s eyes. Clearly, she knew that this fella was lying. Mo Wuji also knew that Kui Fengyun should be lying. According to what Lin Gu said, Kui Fengyun should be at the edge of realising his Immortal Emperor Dao. The reason why he¡¯s organising this competition wasn¡¯t due to the competition in itself, but it was because he really wanted to sieve out the true experts in pill refining and drug refining. Kui Fengyun¡¯s primary goal was probably to obtain the various herbs form the Yunxian Immortal Valley and pave his way to become an Immortal Emperor. Kui Fengyun urgently wanted to realise his Dao, so naturally, he wouldn¡¯t want this alchemy competition to be long and complicated; it was expected that he wanted it to end as soon as possible. "There will be 3630 contestants in the Grand Alchemy Competition, and we are looking for the top 50. The competition has two rounds. The first round would determine the top 300 people. These 300 people will go on to the second round where we will determine the top 50. There will be 60 places to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. The top 5 will be given two placings each, while the rest of the top 50 will be given one placing each. My Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Mansion also has 5 placings. Only those with the placing jade tokens can enter Yunxian Immortal Valley; it doesn¡¯t matter what¡¯s your background or identity¡­" As he listened to Kui Fengyun¡¯s words, Mo Wuji finally understood how difficult it was to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. There were close to ten million people here. Most of these people were definitely here because of Yunxian Immortal Valley, or at least, some high tiered immortal herbs from Yunxian Immortal Valley. On the other hand, no one really minded the fact that Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Mansion had five placings without competing. After all, the Yunxian Immortal Valley is in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, so it was perfectly normal for Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor to have some placings. "Because this alchemy competition is the foundation for the various immortal cities in Yong Ying, so after this competition, the low or intermediate grade immortal cities that obtain the top five places would directly be advanced to the high grade. Low grade cities that obtain the top 50 would advance to the intermediate grade, while intermediate grade cities would advance to the high grade. The high grade cities that are in the top 100 will remain in that grade, high grade cities that are from places 101 to 200 will be downgraded to the intermediate grade, while those outside of 200 will be downgraded to the low grade¡­" The later part of Kui Fengyun¡¯s announcement was basically Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s private matters; Yong Ying Immortal Domain was primarily using this alchemy competition to sort reorganise the grades between cities. Except for a few immortals from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, most of the immortals didn¡¯t care much about it. Mo Wuji was one of those that paid attention. When he heard that low grade immortal cities that obtain results outside of the top 500 would be downgraded to becoming subsidiary cities, he knew that even if he didn¡¯t get a placing in the competition, he would not cause Water Ying Immortal City to become a subsidiary city. "... In this alchemy competition, my Yong Ying Immortal Domain has specially invited the vice alliance head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Now, may we invite Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Vice Alliance Head Hu to preside over the competition." Kui Fengyun had finished announcing the rules of the competition, and he retreated back. Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Vice Alliance Head Hu Zhenyu walked to the front of the main altar. Mo Wuji was completely unable to discern this person¡¯s age. Perhaps it was became of his high status, or because of his attainments in the Pill Dao, Alliance Head Hu Zhenyu looked like he was an immortal standing within the clouds. He Zhenyu didn¡¯t utter a single word of nonsense; he didn¡¯t even speak a sentence of courtesy as he directly said, "This competition would not have a judging panel, we will directly use a magic array to determine the points. The first round of the competition will now begin. May contestants with the competition token enter the competition area." Mo Wuji stood up and walked to the competition area. Even though that Lin Gu said that Kui Fengyun was devious and cunning, and wasn¡¯t as forthright as he appeared, but Mo Wuji could understand this Heavenly Emperor¡¯s woes. If he was the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor and other Immortal Domains come to snatch your things away without uttering a single word of thanks, it would be weird for him to feel comfortable. The thousands of pill refiners quickly found their spots and they each took their places. Then, Hu Zhenyu continued, "Pill refiners would use their own pill furnaces for this competition; the pill fire would be the earth fire at the competition area. The first round would be the purification of immortal herbs; we will be purifying the Tier 4 Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. According to the pill refiner¡¯s purification results, we will be picking the top 300 participants. Everyone would send the purified essences into the designated jade vases and inscribe your name and the immortal city you¡¯re representing. The competition will now begin." As he finished, Hu Zhenyu waved his hand and a pile of immortal grass was scattered out. Soon, a strand of immortal grass and an empty jade vase appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji saw the immortal grass in his hand; it was indeed the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. Mo Wuji was very familiar with this immortal grass. It was one of the less valuable immortal herbs in tier 4; it was mainly used as a supporting ingredient for detoxification pills. However, there was a unique characteristic of this immortal herb: it was relatively harder to purify. It would already be not bad for an average pill king to purify the essence to 85%. If this was an ordinary competition, Mo Wuji might have concealed some of this power. However, since this competition affected whether he could go to Yunxian Immortal Valley and whether he could save Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji did not have any intentions of holding back. The moment he ignited the earth fire, he placed in all his effort to purify the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. Because there wasn¡¯t a time limit to this competition, even though Mo Wuji could purify the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass in the shortest time possible, Mo Wuji still continued to perfect his purification. He took close to an incense¡¯s time before he finally extracted the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass essence and send it into the jade vase. Then, he inscribed his name and his representing city on the jade vase: Water Ying Immortal City. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s pace was multiple times slower than his usual speed, after he finished, more than half of the pill refiners were yet to be completed. Among the front rows of the audience stand, Yan Qianling whispered to her daughter, "Lianxi, point to me that pill refiner you were talking about." Even though Wen Lianxi said that she had only met Mo Wuji twice, Yan Qianling still remembered Tan Liang¡¯s words: Mo Wuji was a future Pill Emperor with limitless potential. If Mo Wuji was really not bad, she definitely wanted this future Pilll Emperor to be her son-in-law. Wen Lianxi knew what was on her mother¡¯s mind. She awkwardly pointed in the direction of Mo Wuji and said, "That¡¯s him." "So young? And he has already finished?" When Yan Qianling saw the incomparably young Mo Wuji, her heart was filled with indescribably shock. Chapter 546: Mother-in-law Looks At The Son-in-law Chapter 546: Mother-in-law Looks At The Son-in-law Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Among the thousands of pill refiners, Mo Wuji was indeed inconspicuous. Even though he had fixed the seals in his Pill furnace, advancing it to become a Grade 6 immortal equipment, it was only average among the many pills refiners. Almost all of the 3000 over pill refiners here were pill kings. Don''t feel pity because there were extremely few Pill Emperors in the seven Immortal Domains and the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance; there was no small amount of pill kings. Especially Tier 4 and Tier 5 ones were in large supplies in all the Immortal Domains. This time, because of the interference of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance in Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s alchemy competition, the level of the pill kings participating had gotten even higher; there were even some Tier 6 pill kings. After another incense''s time, Hu Zhenyu stood back up onto the main altar and announced loudly, "The first round of the competition has ended. May all pill refiners place your jade vase in the transfer rune in front of you. The transfer rune will send your essences into the sorting array and the results will be displayed on the display screen. If you use an old medicinal essence, no points will be awarded and you will be immediately eliminated. Names will appear from the bottom right hand corner of the screen. After the names appear, those that are not in the top 300 and those that do not obtain a placing are to leave the competition area." After Hu Zhenyu finished speaking, a void transfer rune appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji placed his jade vase on the transfer rune and sighed in his heart. This sort of method of using the array to judge the level of an individual''s medicinal essence was truly hard to cheat. However, Mo Wuji was also sure that this sort of sorting array had limits. The moment the purity reached a certain degree, an average array would be unable to accurately determine the exact degree. After all the jade vases got transported away, a huge display screen appeared at the corner of the main altar. This array display screen was four-sided, so no matter where one was sitting, they would be able to clearly see what was on the screen. At this instant, Yong Ying Immortal Plaza was pitch silent. Everyone''s eyes were glued on that huge display screen as they waited for names to appear. After another half an incense''s time, the display screen started to flash. All the cultivators in the plaza knew that the names would be appearing soon. All the contestants in the competition area began to look at the display screen with greater anxiety; it would soon show whether they would have the chance to enter Yixian Immortal Valley. All the Pill Kings that came here were only here because of the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Even if they didn''t personally enter, being able to obtain a placing would earn him many high tiered immortal herbs from Yunxian Immortal Valley. After the light flashed a couple of times, the display screen lit up completely. A name appeared on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. There was no placing in front of the name, clearly, this person did not achieve any results. Behind the name, there was even the word ''Eliminated¡¯. After this name appeared, one of the pill refiners in the competition area left dispirited. There were only two reasons why a contestant didn''t obtain a placing. One was complete purification failure, and two was cheating. If a pill refiner didn''t purify the herb on the site, and used some prepared essence, it would be considered cheating. There wasn''t only one contestant that didn''t have a placing; there were more than 200 of such contestants that were eliminated without a placing. After over 200 of such names, the first placing appeared. 3417th Place: Participating Immortal City - Low Grade City, Sea Orchid Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Yu Jinsong. Points: 32.203. Eliminated. The moment this name appeared, Mo Wuji heard a pill refiner near him sigh and leave the competition area. Mo Wuji knew that these points definitely wasn''t an ordinary score; it must have been due to a failure somewhere in the purification. 32.102 points would mean a purity of only 32.102%. After Mo Wuji was done with his own purification, he had observed his surroundings. Even though he didn''t specially take notice of Yu Jinsong, he knew that Yu Jinsong should be a Tier 4 pill king. However, even the worst of Tier 4 pill kings shouldn''t only get 32.102 points for the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. This Yu Jinsong must have lost his calm, causing his purification to fail. 3416th place: Participant Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Dragon Dance Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Ling Ou. Points: 36.915. Eliminated. When this name appeared, Mo Wuji started to here some murmurs in his surroundings. Even though the words were scattered, Mo Wuji could still hear the main gist. Ling Ou was actually a Tier 6 pill king from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A Tier 6 pill king actually only for 36.915 points from refining the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. From the looks of it, this Ling Ou was the same as Yu Jinsong, they both failed their purification. Thereafter, Mo Wuji saw a disappointed middle-aged pill refiner walk out; Mo Wuji guessed that this person should be Ling Ou. Seeing how this pill refiner looked as though he had lost his soul, Mo Wuji knew that this pill competition would have an adverse impact on this fella''s pill dao. Unfortunately, this pill refiner would probably be unable to advance beyond the Tier 6 level. If he was lucky, he could grudgingly concoct a Tier 6 pill. If he was unlucky, he might even fall to Tier 5. As for the Pill Emperor tier, he could forget about it for the rest of his life. Unless he was able to open his heart, he would never be able to cast away this shadow. Thereafter, the points gradually got higher. Mo Wuji was clear that those that didn''t get more than 60 points basically failed the purification. Not far from Mo Wuji, Tan Liang was also staring at the display screen in palpitation. He knew that it would be hard for him to enter the top 1000 with his results, however, he still held on to some hope. Because in his entire purification process, he didn''t fail at any step. Moreover, he had performed better than usual during this purification. In his usual practices, he wouldn''t have purified the Tier 4 Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass to today''s level. When he saw his name, his heart turned completely cold. The display screen wrote: 2315th place: Participating City - Low Grade City, Water Ying Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Tan Liang. Points: 75.209. Eliminated. Under such circumstances, purifying the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass to 75% was already above his usual standards. Unfortunately, in this sort of high level competition, his results really weren''t worth mentioning. ¡­ "Haiz, Brother Tan failed." As he looked at Tan Liang leaving the competition area dejectedly, the disappointed in Wen Hou''s eyes was no less than Tan Liang himself. There was a hint of grey in the corner of his eyes; even though he expected such results, he discovered that he still couldn''t accept it when it really appeared. At this instant, besides bringing his family to flee to some faraway place, there was nothing he could do. Unfortunately, he knew that he was completely not able to escape. The moment his front foot left Yong Ying Immortal City, his back foot would probably be grabbed and he would be thrown into a prison. "Sorry, Wen Hou, I failed." Tan Liang walked to Wen Hou''s family and sat down; his voice was filled with disappointment and dejection. Yan Qianling suddenly said, "Lord Husband, we are definitely not able to leave. I can faintly feel a spiritual will locked onto us. The moment we leave, the consequences will be disastrous." Wen Hou blankly nodded his head, not saying a word. Wen Lianxi suddenly said, "Father, Mother, Uncle Tan, we still have someone on the stage that hasn''t come down. Perhaps Brother Mo might actually be able to charge into the top 500." Only when Wen Lianxi say those words did everyone recall that Water Ying Immortal City was not completely devoid of hope; at least, there was still one pill refiner on the stage. Tan Liang recovered a bit of his spirit as he asked urgently, "Lianxi, that Pill Master Mo is still there? Where is he? Hurry and point him out for me to see." Wen Lianxi pointed in Mo Wuji''s direction and Tan Liang naturally saw that Mo Wuji was still on the stage. Moreover, the display screen still hadn''t shown Mo Wuji''s name. The names on the display screen appeared in an ascending order; the later the name appeared, the better the results. Since Mo Wuji''s name had yet to be shown, it meant that Mo Wuji still wasn''t eliminated. "From the looks of it, he had really advanced to the pill king level. Could it be that his words of 70% certainty were true?" Tan Liang stared at Mo Wuji and muttered. Yan Qianling softly whispered to Wen Lianxi, "Lianxi, does that Mo Wuji really not have any special opinions towards you? For example, when he''s with you, does he always subconsciously come close to you? Or does he always try to find common topics to talk to you? Oh right, did he invite you to do anything?" "Mother, can you not talk about such things? Brother Mo really doesn''t have any interest in me, he only wanted to thank me for helping him once. That was all." Wen Lianxi really didn''t know what else she should say. "Ah, Lianxi¡­ You can''t always let others take the first step. Sometimes, when you meet someone you like, you need to be proactive¡­" Even if Wen Lianxi''s skin was any thicker, it wouldn''t be able to August and this. Moreover, Wen Lianxi''s skin was super thin. Looking at her daughter''s expression of embarrassment, Yan Qianling finally ended the topic and glued her eyes on Mo Wuji. Indeed, that saying is true; the more a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more pleasing she would find him. Even though Mo Wuji still wasn''t Yan Qianling''s son-in-law, she grew increasingly fond of him. "Father, look at that Tier 5 pill king, Geng Ji. I don''t know where he got his competition token from but he has already failed, and his only in the 1700s. Luckily father didn''t invite him to help us." After some time, Wen Lianxi finally regained her countenance. She immediately discovered that Geng Ji had been eliminated. Wen Hou nodded, "I saw it. You''re right, we were indeed lucky that we didn''t call him to help us." A placing in the 1000s and a placing on the 2000s had completely no difference to Water Ying Immortal City. ¡­ The number of people on the stage got lesser and lesser. Even though he knew that his results were not bad, the anxiety in Mo Wuji''s heart continued to grow. This alchemy competition was truly too important to him. Chapter 547: Who Is He Chapter 547: Who Is He Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was clear that he needed to get high points during the first round. The second round should be a pill concocting competition; he wasn''t even able to concoct an intermediate grade Tier 6 pill, so his points would definitely be dragged down. If he didn''t get enough points in the first round, he would very likely be kicked out after the second round. Mo Wuji saw that the display screen had already showed the 300th placing. Participating City - Intermediate Grade City, Wind Plains Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Ma Tian. Points: 90.112. Advanced into the second round. Mo Wuji was inwardly celebrating in his heart; celebrating that he had his own unique methods of purifying herbs. Otherwise, he would already have been eliminated in the first round. As a pill refiner, Mo Wuji knew that it was already relatively impressive to refine the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass to 90%. Even though the difficulty of purifying the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass could not be compared to the Heavenly Desolate Grass, its difficulty was renowned among immortal herbs below Tier 7. Even many Tier 6 herbs weren''t as difficult to purify as the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. However, a person almost got eliminated despite exceeding 90%. Even though he wasn''t eliminated, he was the 300th place and was on the fringe of being eliminated. "Father, Brother Mo''s name still hasn''t appeared. That means that our Water Ying Immortal City gas entered the top 300 in the first round. Even if he doesn''t participate in the second round, we would still retain our low grade immortal city position." Seeing the 300th placing come out, Wen Lianxi almost stood up in her excitement. She was especially anxious when it came to her Water Ying Immortal City''s results. Wen Hou tightly clenched his fists; the excitement on his face exceeded his daughter''s. If not for the fact that the number of the people left on the stage tallies with the placings, he would have suspected that this was fake. "Impressive, truly impressive. I truly didn''t judge him wrongly, this person''s potential simply cannot be measured¡­" Tan Liang stared at Mo Wuji and muttered to himself. "Uncle Tan, do you think Brother Mo can enter the top 50?" Unconsciously, Wen Lianxi clenched both her fists tightly. Even though she wanted to calm herself down, the agitation in her voice couldn''t be concealed. Tan Liang took in a deep breath, "Entering the top 50 might be very difficult. Even if he were to enter the top 50 now, it would still be impossible for him to obtain that in the end. Because the second round will be a pill concoction round; pill concoction is very different from purification. A low tiered pill refiner would be able to purify an immortal herb to a high degree, if he has exceptional talent. However, even if he has incredible luck, a low tiered pill refiner would never be able to concoct a higher tiered immortal pill. The results can''t be cheated, and luck simply won''t help much. Your friend is able to purify the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass to above 90%, that is extremely, extremely impressive. It''s something that I can never compare to. It wouldn''t be an impossibility that he would surpass average Pill Emperors in the future. Do you know that Pill Master Ma Tian that just got 300th place? He is actually a Tier 6 Pill King, and even among Tier 6 Pill Kings, he is among the top." Wen Hou glanced at the conversing pair and an idea, which was the same as his wife''s, popped up in his head. If this Mo Wuji could become his son-in-law, how good would that be? This display screen had already showed the 294th place: Participating Immortal City - Low Grade City, Lightning River Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Fei Yuan. Points: 90.216. Advanced into the second round. 293rd place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Lu Yun Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner, Gong Ke. Points: 90.219. Advanced into the second round. ¡­ Ever since the 2000th placing, the point difference between contestants was extremely small. Even those that aren''t pill refiners know that this was expected; in the purification of immortal herbs, even a minuscule raise in purity was a difficult challenge. Some pill refiners would never be able to increase the purity from 90% to 91% in their entire lives. Sometimes, this sort of purification could not be improved simply because of practice. There were only 300 people left on the competition area. Knowing that they have advanced to the second round, some of the pill refiners heaved a sigh of relief and starting sizing up the other pill refiners around them. Usually, pill refiners that managed to get to the final 300 were basically the top among the top; most of them recognised each other. Mo Wuji''s young and unfamiliar place instantly caught the attention of some of the relieved pill refiners. Who was he? He was able to get into the top 300 at such a young age? These pill refiners tried to search for Mo Wuji''s name on the display screen but when the looked, they only saw familiar names. The display screen was already at the 120th name: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, True Cliff Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Ao Xilun. Points: 91.051. Advanced into the second round. Even the 120th place had appeared but there were still no unfamiliar names. Many of the pill refiners started to discuss among themselves; who was Mo Wuji? He was actually able to get into the top 120. When Mo Wuji saw the 120th place True Cliff Immortal City, he suddenly recalled that this he knew this immortal city. There was a young castellan called Zhong Zhen who he met in the Lifeless Secret Domain. That guy was not bad and helped him once. Seeing that True Cliff Immortal City managed to get 120th in the first round, Mo Wuji was also happy for Zhong Zhen. Names continued to show up on the display screen. It was now at the 51st place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City Lu Jie Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Yuan Feng. Points: 91.671. Advanced into the second round. ¡­ 11th place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Sea Canopy Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Chai Xiao. Points: 91.899. Advanced into the second round. Sea Canopy Immortal City, yet another familiar immortal city. Mo Wuji knew Sea Canopy Immortal City¡¯s young castellan, Zuo Yixian. That Zuo Yixian was also not bad, and his Sea Canopy Immortal City actually got 11th place in the first round. As long as Zuo Yixian came back from the Broken World, he would definitely come back to Sea Canopy Immortal City. Perhaps, he could visit Zuo Yixian after this competition was over. The display screen was already at the 7th place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Ping Yi Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Liu Tiao. Points: 92.232. Advanced into the second round. 6th place: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Red Emperor Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Fei Gao. Points: 92.301. Advanced into the second round. 5th place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Bai Ding Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Kuang Zhiyao. Points: 92.411. Advanced into the second round. ¡­ By this point, whether it was the pill refiners on the stage, the pill refiners off the stage, or anyone who understands the situation, could not help but be engaged in their own discussions. Almost everyone who didn''t know Mo Wuji was now casting their eyes on him. This was because they knew who was that 5th place. Kuang Zhiyao, a half step Pill Emperor from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. At a place where almost all the experts in Pill Dao in the entire congregate, it wasn''t particularly astonished for a half step Pill Emperor to obtain 5th place. What left everyone astonished was that a person that everyone didn''t recognise, Mo Wuji, still hadn''t had his name appear on the display screen yet. This unreasonably young fella was actually an existence in the top 4? "Who is he? He actually entered the top 4? He surpassed Senior Kuang?" "Could something have gone wrong with the display screen? Or is there a problem in the grading array?" A few eliminated pill refiners stood up in agitation. If there was a problem in the grading array, that would mean that the first round was faulted and everyone could compete again. There was no need to talk about those pill refiners, even the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Vice Alliance Head Hu Zhenyu was staring at Mo Wuji in astonishment. He also didn''t recognise Mo Wuji, and he knew that Mo Wuji''s name had yet to appear. As for the display screen, he knew that there definitely wouldn''t be a fault. "Father, could there have been something wrong? Brother Mo¡¯s name still hasn''t appeared." If Wen Lianxi was pleasantly surprised previously, then now, she was in slight fear. Wen Hou was also confused. He, himself, did not believe that Mo Wuji would perform better than a renowned half step Pill Emperor. Tan Liang stared at the huge display screen before he said hesitatingly, "That might not be the case. One must know that this Master Mo previously purified a Tier 8 spiritual herb to 100%..." Tan Liang directly raised Mo Wuji to Master Mo Wuji. "But that''s a Tier 8 spiritual herb, a thing of the cultivation world. Now, we''re talking about one of the hardest immortal herbs to purify in the Immortal World, the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass¡­" Wen Hou stopped speaking, because the 4th place just appeared. 4th place: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Saint Glass Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Wu Yunsheng. Points: 96.009. Advanced into the second round. The moment this name appeared, the entire area, both on and off stage, went into a buzz. There was a huge qualitative jump between the 4th and 5th place; 5th place Kuang Zhiyao only got a little more than 92 points but 4th place We Yunsheng actually got more than 96 points. One must know that in the purification of immortal herbs, every increase in 0.X was already a huge improvement; there was no need to talk about 4 whole points. Moreover, the higher the purity, the harder it was to improve. However, no one felt that this was a problem, because Wu Yunsong was a true Pill Emperor; he was one of the few Pill Emperors that did not belong to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Even though Kuang Zhiyao was a half step Pill Emperor, he was still a distance away from a true Pill Emperor. "He surpassed a Pill Emperor, he actually surpassed a true Pill Emperor¡­" Because of the murmurs of discussion, even those people who didn¡¯t know the situation now knew that there was a young pill refiner in the competition area that still hadn¡¯t had his name appear on the display screen. This sort of thing was extraordinary, how could anyone not take notice of Mo Wuji now? Even though many eyes were on him, Mo Wuji remained calm; he had completely no fear. Even though the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass was hard to purify, he had displayed his full capabilities in this competition. If not for the competition limits on the fire, he would have even brought out his Scholar¡¯s Heart. 3rd place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Lu Jie Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Heng Jun. Points: 96.163. Advanced into the second round. Heng Jun was also a Pill Emperor, but Heng Jun was a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Pill Emperor. By this point, everyone was already numb. An unknown young man had actually exceeded two Pill Emperors. Now, only two names were left: one was this young man, while the other was another Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Pill Emperor, Gong Yangxue. No one believed that Mo Wuji could really enter the top 2. In some of the audiences¡¯ hearts, they were wondering how the organising committee was going to fix this mess. Chapter 548: What Pill To Choose? Chapter 548: What Pill To Choose? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At this instant, the array display screen had already showed the 2nd place. It was displayed clearly: 2nd Place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Long Light Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Gong Yangxue. Points: 97.711. Advanced into the second round. Gong Yangxue was one of the top Pill Emperors in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. The number of Pill Emperors that exceeded him could be counted in one hand. However, this Pill Emperor only got 2nd place. There was still one more name; even a fool would know that the 1st place was this unknown, young pill refiner. If there wasn¡¯t anything wrong with the arrays, then this pill refiner must have cheated. This alchemy competition was not the biggest to have been held, but its importance was one of the top. Even the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wouldn¡¯t want to cheat in such a competition. Even if the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was any stronger, if it dared to cheat in such an important competition, it would only be digging its own grave. Even Gong Yangxue, Heng Jun and the other Pill Emperors were looking at Mo Wuji; they also wanted to know how things would turn up. The involved personnel, Mo Wuji, was not a half bit flustered. When he saw that Gong Yangxue only had 97.711 points, he knew that he was definitely 1st place. Under normal circumstances, he could purify Tier 5 and Tier 6 immortal herbs to a purity of over 99%. Even though this round¡¯s Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass was hard, it would not dip below 99%. The originally noisy site was now silent. Everyone was waiting for the 1st place to come out and wait for the organisers to give them an explanation. In the concentrated stares of the crowd, the 1st place finally appeared. As everyone expected, it was an unfamiliar name. 1st Place: Participating Immortal City - Low Grade City, Water Ying Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Mo Xinghe. Points: 99.361. Advanced into the second round. "Boom!" Almost at the same time, everyone burst into noise. Everyone was discussing and everyone was staring at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Vice Head He Zhenyu, as well as Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun. They wanted these people to give a reasonable explanation for such results. The people, who were supposed to be happy, the Wen Family, were now having pale expressions on their faces. They were naturally happy that Mo Wuji obtained a good placing. But Mo Wuji¡¯s placing was too good; too good to the point where they¡¯re afraid; too good to the point where even they couldn¡¯t accept it. The moment there was a problem with the placing, the first person to be killed would naturally be Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji was killed, the blame wouldn¡¯t be bourne by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, nor Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor, but his Water Ying Immortal City. In other words, he, Wen Hou, as the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City would be the second one to be killed. After he was killed, the rest of his family would simply be ants left to be stomped. Hu Zhenyu walked to the front of the main altar. The crowd had quietened down as they all stared at Hu Zhenyu. Hu Zhenyu¡¯s gaze moved from Mo Wuji to the people in the plaza, then he said loudly, "I know what everyone is saying. I am now explicitly telling everyone: the first round is true and effective; the results are accurate with no errors. There is no problem with the grading array, nor is there any problem with the display screen. Of course, if any pill refiners feel that there is a problem with your score, you can stand forward. We will allow your medicinal essence be publicly graded¡­" As he said this, Hu Zhenyu¡¯s gaze swept across some of the eliminated pill refiners, then he said with greater solemnity, "If there¡¯s indeed a problem with your score, then there¡¯s no need for you to take part in the second round and you would be allowed to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. Of course, if the score turns out to be correct, then you would be directly killed. Now, any pill refiners with doubts over your score may come forward. We will immediately score your products." Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the seats where the pill refiners were. A whole half an incense¡¯s time passed but no one believed that their scores were wrong. A pill refiner had a firm understanding of their own capabilities. They all knew very clearly that the results from the array were correct and accurate. It might even be more precise than their own estimations. After waiting for half an incense¡¯s time and no one stepped forward, Hu Zhenyu nodded, "Looks like all the pill refiners are clear that the array is correct. So the results from this round are effective. Since that¡¯s the case, we will not waste anymore time and begin with the second round." The second round was about to begin; this meant that there weren¡¯t any problems with Mo Wuji or the grading array. Many people began to look at Mo Wuji with envy. Mo Wuji was able to pass the first round with almost a full mark. As long as he could obtain a set score in the second round, he would very likely be able enter the top 50. Of course, if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even able to obtain a good score in the second round, then that would mean that his first round results might be fake. ¡­ "Father, Brother Mo¡¯s results are actually real, he actually obtained 1st place with 99.361 points. Now, our Water Ying Immortal City definitely wouldn¡¯t be some other city¡¯s subsidiary. If Mo Wuji¡¯s second round results are good, we might even be promoted to become an intermediate grade city¡­" When she heard the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Vice Alliance Head declare that the results were effective, Wen Lianxi stood up in emotion. Yan Qianling and Wen Hou were also incomparably excited. Yan Qianling hurriedly grabbed her daughter¡¯s hand and got Wen Lianxi to sit down. Water Ying Immortal City had obtained 1st place in the first round, but it was still better for them to remain modest, lest other people find that they had gotten carried away. "Impressive, impressive¡­" Tan Liang muttered to himself; he did not think that Mo Wuji¡¯s results were false. From the moment he saw the 100% purity dregs in the pill furnace, wasn¡¯t he also in disbelief? If he could be in disbelief once, then there would be a second time. A few of the castellans nearby came to greet Wen Hou. Even if Water Ying Immortal City didn¡¯t get promoted to the intermediate grade, Water Ying Immortal City knew of such an impressive pill refiner, which made them worth befriending. Wen Hou, however, looked at his daughter and said, "Lianxi, thank you. If not for you, our entire family would become some other person¡¯s vassal." "Father, we should be thanking Brother Mo. If not for Brother Mo, how could we sit here in such relief? Even high and intermediate city castellans are taking the initiative to greet us?" Wen Lianxi¡¯s face was red in excitement; up till now, the red still hadn¡¯t receded. Wen Hou nodded continuously, "Right, we should thank Pill Master Mo. Without Pill Master Mo, we would already be the subject of other¡¯s disdain." From afar, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Tier 5 Pill King Geng Ji couldn¡¯t believe that Water Ying Immortal City had obtained 1st place in the first round. His gaze swept towards the incomparably excited Wen Hou and he snorted coldly. A mere low grade immortal city, even if they found a pill refiner and managed to find 1st place in the first round by luck, so what? In the eyes of a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Tier 5 Pill King like him, it was still nothing. ... Slightly far away from the Wen Family, a young man agitatedly spoke to the middle-aged man beside him, "Father, I know that Mo Xinghe¡­" "Ah¡­" Zhong Muqiao, who was staring at Mo Wuji, unconsciously uttered an ¡®Ah¡¯, before immediately turning to his son in excitement, "Zhen¡¯Er, are you speaking the truth?" This young man was exactly the Zhong Zhen who previously helped Mo Wuji once. He nodded and said, "It¡¯s true. During that time, Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s Gou Xinghao was causing him trouble and I helped him get out of that pinch. I really never expected that his purification skills would be so impressive; it¡¯s simply to the point of disbelief." "Good, good¡­" Zhong Muqiao uttered continuously, "You did well, you did well¡­ After this competition ends, you must definitely invite him for a short chat." Originally, Zhong Muqiao wanted to ask his son why he didn¡¯t get Mo Xinghe to represent them. However, when he heard that his son didn¡¯t know of Mo Xinghe¡¯s skill, he changed his words. Sitting by Zhong Muqiao¡¯s side, another man side, "After this alchemy competition, Mo Xinghe¡¯s reputation will simply soar; his status is no longer ordinary. I¡¯m afraid that there would be as many high grade immortal cities trying to talk to him as there are hairs on a cow. And our True Cliff Immortal City is only an intermediate grade immortal city¡­" Zhong Zhen hurriedly said, "Master Huai, that Mo Xinghe looks like he has a good character. He should not forget the ties that we had." ¡­ Hu Zhenyu was still speaking on the main altar, "The second round will still require contestants to use their own pill furnaces and use the earth fire from the competition area. This round will be a pill concoction round. Pill refiners will decide for themselves what pill you which to concoct. Even if you want to concoct a Tier 9 immortal pill, it will be entirely up to you. It¡¯s just that you must provide your own immortal herbs. If you are unable to take out any immortal herbs, then please leave the competition area, because you have been eliminated. Now, I announce that the second round of the competition has begun." It was indeed very simple and straightforward. The second round was a pill concoction round and the herbs used will be provided by themselves. However, everyone knew that this round also couldn¡¯t be cheated. If anyone dared to use a prepared pill and place it into the grading array, they would probably be eliminated like what happened in the first round. Mo Wuji swept around with his spiritual will. From the immortal herbs that the others took out, he gathered that basically all the other pill refiners here chose to concoct Tier 6 pills; only an extremely small number of them chose Tier 5 pills. Ostensibly, a majority of the pill refiners here in the second round were Tier 6 pill kings. As for those Pill Emperors, they also chose Tier 6 pills. Don¡¯t just see that they¡¯re Pill Emperors, even Pill Emperors couldn¡¯t casually concoct Tier 7 immortal pills. Firstly, the ingredients for Tier 7 immortal pills were astronomically expensive. Secondly, the success rate of forming Tier 7 immortal pills was very low. To them, even if they concocted Tier 6 pills, they would still secure positions in the top 5. There was no need for them to take a risk. Even though Mo Wuji could also concoct Tier 6 immortal pills, he knew that if he truly concocted a Tier 6 pill, he would definitely be dancing on the line between success and failure. He was different from other pill refiners. For other pill refiners, if they could concoct unique grade Tier 5 immortal pills, then they would at least be able to concoct half a batch of high grade Tier 6 pills. But for him, he could concoct Tier 5 immortal pills, and while he could concoct Tier 6 immortal pills, he wasn¡¯t even able to concoct a single intermediate grade one. Exactly what pill should he choose to ensure a position in the top 50? Chapter 549: The End Of The Second Round Chapter 549: The End Of The Second Round Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The pill must be a Tier 5 immortal pill; he could only concoct unique grade Tier 5 pills. However, unique grade Tier 5 pills alone might not guarantee him a spot in the top 50. After all, most of the people here were Tier 6 Pill Kings and they were concocting Tier 6 pills. Moreover, during the first round, he didn''t pull his score away from the rest. A 6 to 7 point gap in purification was huge, but the moment pill concoction was added in, then it wasn''t anything. If a batch of high grade Tier 6 pills was scored at 80 points, then a batch of high grade Tier 5 pills would only get 30 points. Perhaps concocting an entire batch of unique grade Tier 5 pills might be equivalent to a batch of high grade Tier 6 pills. However, this was just a ''might¡¯, Mo Wuji didn''t know the exact scoring criteria. But since he could only concoct Tier 5 pills, then his batch of Tier 5 pills couldn''t be too simple. This batch of Tier 5 pills must fulfil two conditions: one, the immortal pill must be hard to concoct and have a high value; two, the entire batch must be unique grade. After further contemplation, Mo Wuji decided to concoct the most pricey Tier 5 pill, the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. TheSoul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill was a pill that provided a 20 to 30% chance of allowing a Great Circle Grand Yi Immortal advance to become a Grand Zhi Immortal. If a Great Circle Grand Yi Immortal had prepared himself, had some treasures to support him, and have a certain level of understanding to his own Dao, then using the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill would definitely help him enter the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. It was exactly because of this, that the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill was the most valuable pill among Tier 5 immortal pills. Most importantly, the difficulty in concocting the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill was the top among all Tier 5 pills. The main ingredients for the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill were the Immortal Cleansing Fruit and Raspy Half Leaf Grass. Mo Wuji just returned from the Broken World''s third level, so he had these two spiritual herbs in excess. Not only that, he had concocted several batches of this pill before. The ingredients for the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill were extremely expensive. If not because of saving Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t be taking out such precious herbs for a trashy competition like this. That''s right, Mo Wuji saw this Grand Alchemy Competition as a trashy competition. A true alchemy competition shouldn''t be able getting quick and fast results. Instead, it should be able comparing the true Pill Dao standards between pill refiners. The organiser of this current competition, Yong Ying Immortal Domain, only wanted to determine the results as quickly as possible, then open the Yunxian Immortal Valley. The presiding Pill Dao Immortal Alliance also wanted the competition to conclude quickly so that the Yunxian Immortal Valley could be opened. To Mo Wuji, he naturally wanted the competition to end quickly as well. But from a professional point of view, this competition indeed wasn''t worth anything. Strands of immortal herbs were taken out by Mo Wuji and stacked in front of him. At the same time, Mo Wuji started to clean his pill furnace in preparation for concocting the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. "I''m not seeing things, right? He''s actually going to concoct the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill?" There were already people in the plaza who recognised the Immortal Cleansing Fruit that Mo Wuji took out. Tier 5 pills weren¡¯t anything special; in this second round, the worst pill was already a Tier 5 pill. What left everyone surprised was that Mo Wuji was going to concoct the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill; the main ingredient for this pill was extremely expensive. Even though it was a Tier 5 immortal herb, its value exceeded average Tier 6 immortal herbs. One must know that pill refiners had to take out their own immortal herbs for this competition. Many people started to believe that this young pill refiner was very wealthy. Some curious people even started to suspect Mo Wuji''s identity. If Mo Wuji was an ordinary pill refiner, could he take out the immortal herbs for the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill? One strand of immortal herb after another got sent into the pill furnace. To Mo Wuji, purifying Tier 5 immortal herbs was even simpler than the Tier 4 Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass. Mo Wuji didn''t know exactly how many Tier 5 pills he concocted; he had even concocted several batches of this Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill pill before. Even though this earth fire wasn''t as effective as his Scholar''s Heart, with Mo Wuji''s current standards, he should not meet with any difficulty with concocting the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. He went through the familiar steps: dissolving the immortal herbs, removing the impurities, separating the essence, forming the pills, condensing the pills, gathering spirituality¡­ Because of the level of the fire, Mo Wuji''s speed was slower by quite a bit, but his pill quality did not fall. Different from others, Mo Wuji could purify immortal herbs to the peak. Just with this point alone, the quality of his pills was much better than others¡¯. Two hours later, Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel began to start on the pill collection technique, light blue pills were swiftly sent into the prepared jade vase. Thereafter, Mo Wuji inscribed his name and his representing immortal city, and kept his pill furnace. Mo Wuji''s pill technique was completely different from other people, which was why his pill concoction was especially fast. Because of the fire that he used, his speed was already much slower than usual. However, he was still the first to finish among all the contestants. Even though he was the first to complete, Mo Wuji was rather contented with his work. A full batch of Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill contained 12 pills; he managed to concoct a full batch and all 12 of them were unique grade. If he still couldn''t enter the top 50 then he could only blame his fate. Because Mo Wuji¡¯s speed was the fastest, and his pill collection technique was really quick, many people did not manage to notice the pills that Mo Wuji concocted. The cultivators on the plaza that noticed Mo Wuji began to murmur in discussion again. The difference between a Tier 5 and a Tier 6 pill wasn''t especially big; Mo Wuji was actually able to complete his pill concoction faster than the Tier 6 Pill Kings and even some Pill Emperors. This was simply¡­ The greatest possibility was that Mo Wuji was not even able to concoct a Tier 5 pill. Thus, it didn''t matter whether he finished first or last, his points wouldn''t be able to get him a placing, which was why he decided to end it as soon as possible. What left many people confused was that if Mo Wuji was going to concede, why would he use the ingredients for the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. After all, the value of those ingredients were astronomical. "He''s done with his pill concoction?" Yan Qianling doubtfully retracted her gaze and turned to Tan Liang. Wen Hou and Wen Lianxi also stared at Tan Liang in confusion; Mo Wuji was concocting the Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill, why would he finish so early? Even the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Pill Emperors Gong Yangxue and Heng Jun had only just completed. Tan Liang hesitated before saying, "He should have finished concocting, I saw him collecting his pills. It''s just that because of the seals on the jade vase, I''m unable to see the quality of his pills. I can only say that he would definitely be able to get some points in this second round, but I''m not sure exactly what he points would be." Tan Liang was a Tier 4 Pill King; if even he was unsure, then Wen Hou and his family could only sit and wait. Mo Wuji obtained 1st place in the first round; to say that they didn''t have any expectations, they would be lying. They naturally hoped that Mo Wuji would be able to charge into the top 50. If Mo Wuji was able to enter the top 50, then their Water Ying Immortal City would be promoted to become an intermediate grade city. The moment they got promoted to the intermediate grade, Water Ying Immortal City''s status and resources would increase by multiple folds. Mo Wuji waited for close to four hours before Hu Zhenyu walked to the front of the main altar and announced, "The second round has concluded. May all pill refiners stop stop whatever you''re doing!" At this instant, it would be useless even if the pill refiners didn''t stop stop what they were doing. This was because right after Hu Zhenyu''s announcement, the earth fires were all extinguished. Even the best pill refiner would fail in his batch if the fire was extinguished. After Hu Zhenyu announced the end of the second round, a small array rune appeared in front of the pill refiners. "May all pill refiners place your pills into the transfer rune. The second round will also be graded based on an array. Just like in the first round, the last place will be shown starting from the bottom right hand corner of this display screen. All pills need to be newly concocted. If old pills were used, the total points of both rounds would be reduced to 0." The moment Hu Zhenyu finished speaking, he waited for the contestants to place their jade vases into the transfer rune. Mo Wuji followed along with the rest of the pill refiners, placing his vase of Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill into the transfer array. After all the jade vases got transported away, Hu Zhenyu continued, "After the results of the second round are shown, a new set of placings will appear on the display screen. This new set of placings will show the final top 50 contestants. The top 50 will be decided by the sum of the scores from the two rounds." With that, Hu Zhenyu retreated from the main altar. At this moment, everyone in the plaza were looking at the display screen. A black horse like Mo Wuji appeared in the first round. Thus, as they waited for the second round results to emerge, even a few of the Tier 6 Pill King experts were slightly nervous. After an incense''s time, the display screen began to flash. Everyone immediately went silent as they stared at the display screen, waiting for the second round results to appear. Soon, a row of words appeared on the bottom right hand corner of the display screen. 300th place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Lu Yun Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Gong Ke. Pill - Tier 6 Immortal Copious Pill. 4 pills - 2 failed, 2 low grade. Points: 31.276. When Mo Wuji saw these results, his confidence rose considerably. Even when he concocted the Immortal Copious Pill, he wouldn''t have such pitiable results of of only having two low grade pills. From the looks of it, the quality of these Tier 6 Pill Kings were so good. "Father, Brother Mo isn''t the 300th place." When Wen Lianxi saw Gong Ke¡¯s name, she instantly turned her head to her father in glee. Wen Lianxi wasn''t the only happy one, even Wen Hou and his wife were rejoicing. If Mo Wuji wasn''t 300th place, it would mean that Mo Wuji''s pill concoction had been successful. Even Hu Zhenyu glanced at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Mo Wuji was the first to finish his pill concoction and was even the 1st place in the first round. He never expected that such a young pill refiner wouldn''t be the last place in the second round. There was only one explanation, this young pill refiner was really a Tier 5 Pill King and had succeeded in his Soul Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. This sort of talent, no matter where he came from, must be pulled into the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Chapter 550: The Water Ying Immortal City That Rose To The Top In A Single Step Chapter 550: The Water Ying Immortal City That Rose To The Top In A Single Step Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though he was still presiding the competition, Hu Zhenyu had already sent Mo Wuji''s information to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters, requesting for the Headquarters to investigate on this person''s origins. With Hu Zhenyu''s foresight, how could he not know that Mo Wuji would definitely be a Pill Emperor as long as he didn''t die? The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was lacking young blood, now that Hu Zhenyu had spotted a future Pill Emperor, how could he simply let this talent go? ¡­ After another 20 to 30 names appeared, Mo Wuji''s heart gradually settled down. He discovered that among those pill refiners whose names had already appeared, almost all of them had concocted Tier 6 pills, but their pill success rate was pitifully low. On average, they were either intermediate or low grade pills. And there was no need to talk about a full batch, it was already rare for them to obtain a third of a full batch. A few refiners that tried to concoct the relatively hard Tied 6 pills practically only managed to get 2 to 3 low grade pills. Mo Wuji soon understood the underlying reason. It wasn''t due to the incapabilities of these pill refiners, but because of the fire. The fire here was limiting their capabilities; they should originally able to concoct six pills, but because of the fire, they could only obtain 1 to 2 pills, and the quality of the pills was really lacking. Mo Wuji secretly thought to himself that he had the greatest advantage in this competition. He wasn''t picky about his flames; a better flame would cause his pill concoction to be faster and his quality to be better. But even with a bad flame, he could still successfully concoct the pill. Even though there was definitely an impact, it wasn''t to the point of other pill refiners where he would fail his concoction. Mo Wuji did not recognize any of the names on the screen; he was also not interested in knowing these people. He only hoped that his name was in the top 50; as long as his name was in the top 50, it meant that he had succeeded. The display screen soon came to the 51st place: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Red Emperor Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Fei Gao. Pill - Tier 6 Immortal Copious Pill. 8 pills - 4 high grade, 4 intermediate grade. Points: 71.315. When Mo Wuji saw that he wasn''t the 51st name, his heart completely settled down; he knew that he had definitely advanced into the top 50. He was in the top 50 in both the first and second rounds, so he would definitely be in the overall top 50. Mo Wuji knew this Fei Gao; this fella obtained 6th place in the first round. He never expected that this fella could be so good at purification, but his pill concoction would be so lacking. Don''t just look at this fella''s 6th place in the first round; because he didn''t get into the top 50 in the second round, it was still uncertain whether he would eventually end up in the overall top 50. In the first round, everyone''s point difference was extremely small; the point difference between the 1st and 100th place was only a little more than 1 point. It was exactly because of the tiny point gaps that Mo Wuji previously did not dare confirm that he would enter the top 50 even though he got 1st place in the first round. Actually, with this sort of competition format, the top 50 in the second round would basically be the overall top 50. At this instant, the 50th place also appeared: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Pu Luo Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Wen Chengbu. Pill - Tier 6 Sword Qi Domain Splitting Pill. 6 pills - 5 high grade, 1 intermediate grade. Points: 73.521. The moment this score appeared, Mo Wuji knew that the Fei Gao that obtained 6th place in the first round had been eliminated. This Wen Chengbu''s first round score was still at the other display screen: 91.461. Even though he didn''t get into the top 50 in the previous round, his total score still exceeded Fei Gao. If even Wen Chengbu got more than 73 points, it would be harder for Fei Gao to get into the top 50. Indeed, the 49th place had a score that was more than 75 points. When Fei Gao saw this score, he could only sigh in emotion and sat down dejectedly. He was only behind by a little bit, just a little bit more and he could have gotten into the top 50. However, this little bit was extremely hard to get. Knowing that he had definitely gotten into the top 50, Mo Wuji didn''t care any further. He also sat down and closed his eyes. At the same time, he was considering how he should leave Yong Ying Immortal Domain after he entered Yunxian Immortal Valley and obtained the Underworld Heart Flower. ¡­ When the 50th place came out and it still wasn''t Mo Wuji''s name, Water Ying¡¯s Castellan Wen Hou could no longer hold it in as he stood up in excitement. Ever since he became the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, he never thought that there would be a day when Water Ying Immortal City would be promoted to an intermediate grade city. At this instant, Water Ying Immortal City''s promotion was set in stone, they only needed to wait for all the results to be flashed. "Lord Husband¡­" Yan Qianling tightly grabbed Wen Hou''s hands, pulling him to sit down. Only she could best understand her husband''s heart; ever since the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition began, Wen Hou''s heart had been on tenterhooks. He was clearer than everyone else that if Water Ying Immortal City failed in the competition and got reduced to become a subsidiary city, their lives would be especially miserable. Thus, ever since the announcement of the competition, he searched everywhere for pill refiners to compete for him. It was also because she wanted to ease her father''s anxiety that Wen Lianxi went to the Corner of Yong Ying to search for pill refiners. Unfortunately, besides his old friend Tan Liang, his Water Ying Immortal City wasn''t able to find any other suitable pill refiner. As the saying goes: a watched flower never blooms; just when Wen Hou had given up hope, his daughter found him an extraordinary pill refiner. Not only did this pill refiner obtain 1st place in the first round, he even entered the top 50 in the second round. With such results, would Water Ying Immortal City ever have to worry that they would become a subsidiary city? As the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, Wen Hou was now thinking of the important matters to settle when Water Ying got promoted to the intermediate grade. Wen Hou and his family weren''t the only excited ones in the plaza. The other person that was incomparably excited was naturally Lin Gu. The reason why Lin Gu asked Mo Wuji to help her was because she didn''t know any better Pill King and because she knew that Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. Even before the second round ended, Lin Gu knew that she had made the right choice. In the first round, even Pill Emperors weren''t a match for Mo Wuji. He was simply an existence that defied the logics of heaven. Perhaps, he might actually be able to treat her mother. ¡­ While Mo Wuji was nonchalant towards the results on the display screen, the other cultivators were staring at it eagerly. At this point, almost everyone wanted to know Mo Wuji''s exact placing in the second round. Mo Wuji concocted a Tier 5 pill in the second round. Even though he chose the Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill which was one of the most valuable and difficult pill to concoct in Tier 5, Tier 5 was nonetheless Tier 5, there was a definite qualitative difference with a Tier 6 pill. If a Tier 5 pill could obtain one of the better placings, then people actually began to suspect that Mo Wuji''s results were not real. The display screen quickly came to the 6th place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Ping Yi Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Liu Tiao. Pill - Tier 6 Huang Jade Pill. 11 pills - 10 high grade, 1 intermediate grade. Points: 87.762. 5th place: Participating Immortal City - Low Grade City, Water Ying Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Mo Xinghe. Pill - Tier 5 Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. Full batch of 12 pills - 12 unique grade. Points: 90.000. When these results came out, the crowd began to discuss with further fervor. Now, no one thought that the results were fake. This was because the concocted pills were all here and it couldn''t be faked. A few people in the know knew that when the second round results were fully released, the seals over the top 50 pills would be removed and everyone would be allowed to see them with their spiritual wills. In the second round, the highest point a Tier 5 pill could get was 90 points. This meant that Mo Wuji''s Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill managed to obtain all the points. How startling was that? ¡­ "Congratulations old Brother Wen Hou. In the future, you will be also be a high grade immortal city like us. If you''re free, do come to my Lu Yun Immortal City for a visit." The moment Mo Wuji''s results came out, Lu Yun Immortal City''s castellan took the initiative to greet Wen Hou. Mo Wuji, this heaven defying talent actually had relations to Water Ying Immortal City. There was no need to talk about how Water Ying Immortal City was going to become a high grade city, even if Water Ying Immortal City wasn''t a high grade city, he also would have come to form relations with Wen Hou and Mo Wuji. After Lu Yun Immortal City, various other high and intermediate grade city castellans came to greet Wen Hou with smiles plastered on their faces. Their tones and attitudes were courteous to the max. This was different from the previous round of greetings. Now that Mo Wuji was set to enter the top 5, these castellans were so warm that you would think they were old bosom friends of Wen Hou. Even though Wen Hou was grinning the whole time, he was still feeling rather delirious. Since when did he get such treatment as the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City? In the previous gatherings of castellans from the various immortal cities in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he had the fortune of participating in two of them. Don''t just see his status as a castellan of an immortal city; in that sort of gathering, he could only stay at one corner. Occasionally, some people would come to him and speak a few passing words, but most of the time, he was ignored. Now, many high grade city castellans had come to greet him, and intermediate and low grade city castellans came to praise him with a humble attitude. As he awoke from his bliss and honor, Wen Hou became especially clear that none of this was earned by himself; all this prestige was brought to him by the unreasonably young pill refiner on the stage. ¡­ The display screen had already shown the 4th place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Bai Ding Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Kuang Zhiyao. Pill - Tier 6 Void Indigo Pill. Full batch of 12 pills - 1 unique grade, 9 high grade, 2 intermediate grade. Points: 91.549. Void Indigo Pill was considered one of the hardest Tier 6 pills to concoct. It was already extremely impressive that Kuang Zhiyao was able to concoct a full batch of Void Indigo Pills. His score of 91.549 was very fair. 3rd place: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Saint Glass Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Wu Yunsheng. Pill - Tier 6 Ice Soul Heaven Dust Pill. Full batch of 12 pills - 3 unique grade, 9 high grade. Points: 93.322. 2nd place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Lu Jie Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Heng Jun. Pill - Tier 6 Huang Jade Pill. Full batch of 12 pills - 9 unique grade, 3 high grade. Points: 95.413. 1st place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Long Light Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Gong Yangxue. Pill - Tier 6 Serpentine Soul Pill. Full batch of 12 pills - 6 unique grade, 6 high grade. Points: 97.339. Chapter 551: Deficiencies in the Pill Dao Chapter 551: Deficiencies in the Pill Dao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Don''t just see that Heng Jun had more unique grade pills than Gong Yangxue. In reality, among the top 4 pills, Heng Jun''s Huang Jade Pill was considered the easiest to concoct. The difficulty of the other pills all exceeded the Huang Jade Pill in difficulty. So, it went to say that the array had been very fair in the scoring. By the time the top 50 of the second round were announced, Hu Zhenyu got news of Mo Wuji''s origins. Mo Wuji: Cultivator from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, accompanied Murong Xiangyu to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. At Sharphorn Immortal Ruins¡¯ Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Branch, Mo Wuji entered the Pill Dao Pagoda and participated in the assessment. Then, in a matter of days, he went from an unknown pill refiner to a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. It was because of this which earned him Pill Emperor Nong Yong''s appreciation, and he was granted a position as a honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters. At the same time, Mo Wuji was also a full fledged elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Branch. Mo Xinghe was clearly Mo Wuji''s alias. When Hu Zhenyu got wind of this, he almost chuckled out loud. He suddenly felt that he should give the Sharphorn Branch some rewards, it was actually able to pull such an outstanding pill refiner into the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Pill Emperor Nong Yong indeed got more acute as he got older; he was actually able to see Mo Wuji''s great potential. But that''s also rather expected, Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King at such a young age, it would be weird for him to be simple. Even Pill Emperor Nong Yong wouldn''t know that over these short few years, Mo Wuji was already a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King; he must also be at the level of a Tier 6 Pill King as well. Hu Zhenyu, who felt slightly uncomfortable at Mo Wuji¡¯s impressiveness at such a young age, now felt that Mo Wuji was talented and outstanding. Since Mo Wuji''s relationship with Water Ying Immortal City did not seem shallow, perhaps he should give Kui Fengyun some hints to reward Water Ying Immortal City. Indeed, a person''s attitude was everything. If Mo Wuji wasn''t in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it would be weird for Hu Zhenyu to be so elated with Mo Wuji''s stellar results. No matter what, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance must obtain the 1st place, albeit in overall placings, or in the individual rounds. Hu Zhenyu walked to the front of the main altar in carefree spirits. With a brilliant smile, his gaze swept across the crowd as he said loudly, "Even though the overall scores have yet to come out, I believe everyone is already very clear about the top 50. May the pill refiners outside of the top 50 please leave the competition area while the top 50 stay behind ¡­" Following Hu Zhenyu''s words, the display screen showing the overall placings started to flash. This time, it didn''t start from the bottom right hand corner, but from.the very top. 1st Place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Long Light Immortal City. Participating Pill Refiner - Gong Yangxue. Overall Points: 195.050. 2nd Place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Lu Jie Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Heng Jun. Overall Points: 191.576. 3rd Place: Participating Immortal City - Low Grade City, Water Ying Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Mo Xinghe. Overall Points: 189.361. 4th Place: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Saint Glass Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Wu Yunsheng. Overall Points: 189.331. 5th Place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Bai Ding Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Kuang Zhiyao. Overall Points: 183.960. ¡­ The top 50 placings were soon shown. Except for a rare few intermediate grade cities, most of the top 50 cities were high grade cities; Mo Wuji''s Water Ying Immortal City was the only low grade immortal city. Mo Wuji was also very satisfied. He only intended into get into the top 50, he never expected that he would enter the top 3. He even beat a Pill Emperor; even though it was a mere 0.03 points, it was still considered a victory. However, Mo Wuji was also very clear that these points did not represent his actual ability. Perhaps he might be in the top 3 when it came to purification, but in overall terms, he definitely wouldn''t be in the top 3. This was because the Pill Emperors and a few Tier 6 experts did not display their full prowess in this competition. Just the level of the fire alone had already limited a majority of their capabilities. On the other hand, he was still at full power, without much obstacles. When the overall placings came out, the clamouring crowd quietened down once more; everyone was paying attention to who was in the top 50. After all, everyone was paying attention to the 55 placings for Yunxian Immortal Valley. Mo Wuji, in particular, received much attention. Mo Wuji¡¯s origins were unknown; it was very likely that he was a genius rogue pill refiner. This rogue pill refiner actually had 2 placings to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley, how could it not incite the covetion of others. Hu Zhenyu continued, "Let me first congratulate the top 50 pill refiners who obtained the rights to enter Yunxian Immortal Domain. You can hand your placing to others, or you can choose to enter the Immortal Valley yourself. Before giving out the jade tokens for Yunxian Immortal Valley, there¡¯s still one thing I need to do. That is, the pills for the top 50 pill refiners will be publicly displayed and seals removed. Anyone can use their spiritual will to observe these pills." As he said that, Hu Zhenyu waved his hand. 50 jade vases appeared in mid air; at the bottom of the jade vases, there was a trail of words. The words showed the name of the pill refiner that concocted that pill. At almost the same instant as the when the 50 jade vases were revealed, countless spiritual wills landed on the third jade vase; that was Mo Wuji¡¯s Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill. Mo Wuji, on the other hand, had his spiritual will land on the Tier 6 pills of the Pill Emperors. When he saw these Tier 6 pills, he knew that he was completely unable to even concoct them. Even though he could concoct low grade Tier 6 pills, those pills did not contain spiritual aura. On the other hand, these Pill Emperors¡¯ Tier 6 pills were brimming with spiritual aura; he only needed a single glance to know that they were top grade stuff. In particular was the 1st place Pill Emperor Gong Yangxue¡¯s Serpentine Spirit Pill; the moment Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on it, he could feel a sort of spiritual resonance. This sort of pill was clearly very good for the primordial spirit and the soul; he truly deserved to be a Pill Emperor. At the same time, Mo Wuji also knew that of his own deficiencies. Even though the Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pills were all unique grade, it was lacking a sort of dao energy. It was a sort of dao energy that couldn¡¯t be described by words. Previously, this energy felt blurred and he didn¡¯t really understand it. After seeing the pills of the Pill Emperors like Gong Yangxue, Mo Wuji seemed to have opened a new window. Previously, Mo Wuji thought that he had lost out by giving that batch of Immortal Cleansing Immortal Pills to the organisers. But now, he no longer thought in such a manner. From this alchemy competition, he didn¡¯t merely obtain the chance to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. If he had the chance to converse with the Pill Emperors, he was sure that it would have many benefits to his Pill Dao. At the same, Mo Wuji also knew that if an array wasn¡¯t used for the scoring, his Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill shouldn¡¯t have obtained 90 points even though it was unique grade. After Mo Wuji saw the Tier 6 pills concocted by the Pill Emperors, he started to develop some dissatisfaction towards his own pill. The other cultivators, however, were especially keen towards Mo Wuji¡¯s pills. After all, where else could they find unique grade Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pills? In a short period of time, the entire crowd went wild. It wasn¡¯t because they thought that Mo Wuji¡¯s pills were lacking. In fact, in the eyes of many cultivators, each of Mo Wuji¡¯s pills were brimming with spirituality and revolved by a great dao energy; clearly they were peak unique grade Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pills. One could imagine that the moment these pills got sent to a merchant house, it will definitely incite a frenzy. In comparison, the pills concocted by the Pill Emperors, such as the Serpentine Spirit Pill, and the Ice Soul Heaven Dust Pill¡­ Even though these pills were more valuable, higher tiered and harder to concoct when compared to the Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill, these pills weren¡¯t commonly used. "Are these pills for sale?" Someone from the crowd cried out. Hu Zhenyu waved his hand, collecting all the pills, before he said, "All these pills belong to Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, the pill refiners that concocted them are all here. Since they could concoct such pills under such conditions, if they had more time and a better fire, I believe that they would be able to concoct better pills. For those who want pills, you can find these pill refiners later. Now, I want to award the pill refiners with the jade tokens to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. Everyone stared with envy as Hu Zhenyu sent out the white jade tokens. Mo Wuji got two of these tokens. The jade token was cold to the touch, but Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was burning. After distributing the 55 jade tokens, Hu Zhenyu continued, "A few geniuses also appeared in this competition, such as Mo Xinghe who obtained 3rd place. Mo Xinghe is so young, but he is able to obtain 3rd place despite being surrounded by experts; he would definitely be a Pill Emperor in the future. At this point, I would like to specially congratulate Pill Master Mo Xinghe. Congratulations. Those that obtain the jade tokens to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley will head to the Immortal Valley in three days. This alchemy competition has now come to its conclusion. After this, Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor will be rewarding the respective immortal cities." Hu Zhenyu retreated in the hearty applause of the crowd, while Yong Ying¡¯s Heavenly Emperor walked to the front with slight doubts. He didn¡¯t think that Hu Zhenyu would be interested in the trivia of his Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, that thought was only fleeting as Kui Fengyun didn¡¯t think twice about it. "Many thanks to all the pill refiners that came throughout the Immortal World to take part in my Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition. After this competition, I would like to specially mention two immortal cities. One is low grade city, Water Ying Immortal City, adn the other is the intermediate grade city, Saint Class Immortal City. What left me shocked and pleasantly surprised was that a low grade city and an intermediate grade city was able to enter the top 5. To commend these two cities, I now announce that the two cities will be promoted to high grade cities and will have 15 subsidiary cities under their administration. May Water Ying Castellan Wen Hou and Saint Glass Castellan Zhu Li come up and accept their emblems as high grade city castellans." Following Kui Fengyun¡¯s words, an intense applause ensued. With the accompaniment of Wen Lianxi, Wen Hou stood up excitedly. At this instant, he felt that his blood was boiling. When Hu Zhenyu saw the beautiful Wen Lianxi beside Wen Hou, he turned to Mo Wuji and nodded his head. He seemed to understand why an outstanding Pill King like Mo Wuji would want to help Water Ying Immortal City. Chapter 552: Daring To Take The First Slash Chapter 552: Daring To Take The First Slash Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Thereafter, the promotion ceremony for the various immortal cities took place; Mo Wuji did not even have a single interest about it. Don¡¯t just look at the fact that he represented Water Ying Immortal City in this battle; in reality, he didn¡¯t even know that Water Ying¡¯s Castellan Wen Hou. Helping Wen Lianxi¡¯s Water Ying Immortal City get promoted from low grade to high grade was just a tiny favor. To Mo Wuji, this was repaying the favor that he owed her; nothing else. The trivial ceremony ended in various applauses and ceremonial cannons. Thereafter, Mo Wuji immediately left the contestant area. From afar, he waved towards Lin Gu, gesturing for her to first return to the rest house. Mo Wuji had already left the plaza before the castellans and pill refiners that wanted to talk to him could notice. There were still three days till he entered Yunxian Immortal Valley. On these three days, he would have to discuss with Lin Gu on how they were going to leave Yong Ying Immortal Domain. It was true that he was a honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, but the moment he left Yong Ying Immortal Domain and entered into the void, no one would know who he was. At that point, people would only care about the peak grade immortal herbs that he had with him, and perhaps his function as a pill refiner. ¡­ Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse. Before Mo Wuji could go up, he was stopped by two people. Of the two, one of them had grinning eyes and a carefree expression, looking as though he didn''t have a care about the world. The other hand cold eyes and a proud look. With Mo Wuji''s understanding of the Pill Dao, he only needed a single glance at the two of them to know that they were pill refiners. Not only were they pill refiners, they were quite accomplished ones. The man with the grinning eyes clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, you''re truly a promising talent. Let me first introduce myself, I am Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Tier 5 Pill King Geng Ji. This is Di Baisheng, he''s also a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Tier 5 Pill King." When Geng Ji finished speaking, he stared calmly towards Mo Wuji. The reason why he was the first to find Mo Wuji was because he was sure that Mo Wuji didn''t have any special background. The two of them had met Water Ying''s Castellan Wen Hou before, they knew that Wen Hou didn''t have any powerful backers. When he met Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Tier 5 Pill Kings like them, he didn''t even dare utter any bit of nonsense. Thus, how could a place like Water Ying Immortal City find a pill refiner of great origins? Mo Wuji had gotten 3rd place in the alchemy competition and had even obtained two placings to Yunxian Immortal Valley. Countless of people had eyes on those two placings, but before those people could do anything, they would definitely investigate on Mo Wuji''s origins first. But by the time those impressive pill refiners find out that Mo Wuji didn''t have any outstanding background, he, Geng Ji, and Di Baisheng wouldn''t have any chance. Now that Wen Hou had been promoted to a high grade city castellan and was still engaged in trivial business, they naturally had to take the chance to grab Mo Wuji''s Yunxian Immortal Valley placings. According to Geng Ji''s experience, after he reported his identity, Mo Wuji would immediately bow down and call them Senior Geng and Senior Di. What they never expected was that Mo Wuji would only calmly look at them and speak slowly, "Oh, is there any special matter?" Mo Wuji''s unexpected actions almost choked Geng Ji. However, he was quick to react and he spoke with a slight baleful aura, "Pill Master Mo, I''m not going to bear around the bush. Your placings to Yunxian Immortal Valley is of use to us. State your price, we will buy them from you.Take it that Pill Dao Immortal Alliance owes you a favor. In the future, if you need anything, you can come find me, Geng Ji." "Is that all?" Mo Wuji''s face turned cold. Actually, Geng Ji did not necessarily need Mo Wuji to hand the two jade tokens over. As long as Mo Wuji gave one over, they would have succeeded. Now when he heard Mo Wuji''s reply and saw Mo Wuji''s change in expression, he knew that things wouldn''t be so easy. His tone also turned cold, "Yes, that''s all. Feel free to state your price, my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance can afford anything¡­" "F*ck off!" Mo Wuji did not even wait for Geng Ji to finish before he shouted angrily. A mere Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Tier 5 Pill King dared to be so arrogant in front of a honorary elder like him, this fella was clearly courting death. Di Baisheng, who didn''t speak the whole time, also turned cold, "Mo Xinghe, did you just ask us to f*ck off? Do you know what''s the consequences of that?" If not for Mo Wuji''s current reputation which made him afraid of acting against Mo Wuji, Di Baisheng would already have struck out. This time, Mo Wuji was too lazy to even saw a ring. He retrieved his saber from his ring and swung it towards Di Baisheng. These Di Baisheng and Geng Ji had lacking cultivations; they were both in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. They probably had spent most of their time concocting pills. Mo Wuji really didn''t have any fear towards two ordinary Grand Yi Immortals in a place like Yong Ying Immortal City. As long as the other party wasn''t able to insta-kill him, he didn''t need to have any fear. "Crack!" The saber light immediately caused the defensive array within the resthouse to emit cracking sounds. And even though there was a defensive seal in the resthouse, Mo Wuji''s saber light was still able to reach Di Baisheng''s forehead. How could Di Baisheng ever have thought that Mo Wuji would have such balls to attack him here? In his state of disbelief, he didn''t dodge and a trail of blood emerged from his forehead. In terms of combat power, Mo Wuji was no weaker than an ordinary Grand Yi Immortal like Di Baisheng. Moreover, Mo Wuji had attacked suddenly, thus, it was no surprise that Di Baisheng was injured by that slash. "You dare¡­" Di Baisheng didn''t even manage to utter a third word before Mo Wuji took another step forward and cleaved downwards. Geng Ji also never expected that Mo Wuji would be so vicious, to simply attack without a single warning. He could only display his domain, and at the same time, pull Di Baisheng to the side. "Pff!" Di Baisheng''s arm was like tofu, as it got smoothly cleaved off my Mo Wuji''s saber. The limb that got cleaved off exploded in mid air, forming a fog of blood. Mo Wuji didn''t kill Di Baisheng with those two slashes so he didn''t continue to make another move. If he continued, then things would be hard to handle. He slowly moved his saber backwards and placed it on his back. "Mo Xinghe, you dare to challenge my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? Even if you are in the top 3 for the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition, you will need to pay the price," Geng Ji shouted angrily, and at the same time, he threw out a flying messenger sword. As pill refiners, his and Di Baisheng''s combat power was like rubbish; they were among the lowest among Grand Yi Immortals. Mo Wuji was able to injure Di Baisheng with two simple slashes so he also didn''t dare to make a move. At this instant, Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse was already filled with spectators. Even Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse''s deacon appeared in the first floor hall. This matter involved Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, so he completely didn''t have any rights to get involved in it. "Brother Mo¡­" Wen Lianxi''s voice suddenly broke the atmosphere; thereafter, Wen Lianxi pulled herself put from the crowd. Behind her, there were a man and woman; they were Water Ying Immortal City''s Tier 4 Pill King Tan Liang and Wen Lianxi''s mother, Yan Qianling. Tan Liang had come here to seek Mo Wuji''s guidance while Yan Qianling had come to meet her son-in-law. As for Wen Lianxi, she came to express her gratitude to Mo Wuji. As for Wen Hou, he had various matters piling up which he couldn¡¯t extricate himself from. "Your Water Ying Immortal City is really impressive. To actually know a pill refiner that dared to kill a Tier 5 Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Impressive, impressive¡­" Geng Ji''s eyes swept across Wen Lianxi and co., then he turned and stared coldly at Mo Wuji. He saw it now. He couldn''t underestimate Mo Wuji because Mo Wuji was young and did not seem to have any spiritual aura around him. This Mo Wuji''s power was just like his Pill Dao standards: strong to the point of disbelief. He did not dare make a move against Mo Wuji, so he could only wait for experts from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to come. Wen Lianxi wasn''t a fool, when she saw the trail of blood on the floor, the pale and angry Di Baisheng and the saber on Mo Wuji''s back, how could she not guess what happened? At the same time, she was also sure that Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t an Earthly Immortal when she first met him. At this instant, there were more and more people in Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse. Most of these people were here to visit Mo Wuji. When they witnessed Mo Wuji''s clash with the people from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, they all waited by the side for a resolution. What Wen Lianxi could realise, could also be noticed by Yan Qianling and Tan Liang. Both of their mouths were agape but no words came out. If they were dealing with ordinary people, now that Water Ying Immortal City was a high grade city, they would definitely be able to stand up and speak for Mo Wuji. But the other party was from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, and they were Tier 5 Pill Kings at that. These fellas definitely weren''t ordinary people; if they handled the matter wrongly, Water Ying Immortal City might be destroyed in Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s fit of anger. "Pill King Geng, Pill King Di¡­" Yan Qianling and Yan Liang uttered the two''s names, but they didn''t know what else to say. On the other hand, Geng Ji and Di Baisheng didn''t even turn to see Yan Qianling and Tan Liang; their eyes were fixed coldly on Mo Wuji. "Lianxi, you''re here. There''s no problem going on. You can go back first. Oh right, if you need the placing to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley, I am able to give you one." Mo Wuji did not care much as he smiled and nodded towards Wen Lianxi. Wen Lianxi was soft on the outside, but tough on the inside. After guessing what had happened here, she didn''t even greet the two Pill Kings but bowed to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, I have to thank you for your help. I also want to apologize to you¡­" Mo Wuji stared at Wen Lianxi quizzically; what''s there to apologize for? Noticing Mo Wuji''s confusion, Wen Lianxi''s gaze turned soft as she explained, "Previously, when I received my father''s message, I hesitated and even thought about taking back the competition jade token that I handed you. Fortunately, I didn''t do that. At the first time, I gave up on you because I didn''t understand you; that was my mistake. If that happened a second time, not only would it be a mistake, it would also be a reflection of my stupidity and poor character. Brother Mo, you truly did it, you helped our Water Ying Immortal City become a high grade city." When Mo Wuji heard these words, he smiled and waved his hand, "That''s just a small matter, it''s not worth mentioning." Wen Lianxi smiled sweetly, then turned to face Geng Ji and Di Baisheng, "I know that the two of you are Pill Kings from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Perhaps Brother Mo might have offended you two Pill Kings, and my words may not could for much, but my Water Ying Immortal City is an esteemed high grade city. Brother Mo''s business is my Water Ying Immortal City''s business. If there''s anything, come charge towards my Water Ying Immortal City." Chapter 553: Cannot Be Offended Chapter 553: Cannot Be Offended Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Lianxi¡­" Yan Qianling stared at her daughter in shock; her daughter was simply courting death. So what if Water Ying Immortal Domain got promoted to a high grade city? Against a behemoth like the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it was nothing. "Mother, you often tell me that a wise man looks after his own hide, but also to never be ungrateful. Without Brother Mo, our Water Ying Immortal City would have become a subsidiary city. What would have happened to Mother and I then?" Wen Lianxi looked calmly at Yan Qianling; her voice was warm but it was filled with determination. Yan Qianling startled; but she immediately went forward to hug her daughter and say, "Lianxi, you¡¯re right." She felt proud to have such a daughter. She had seen many vile and filthy things in the Immortal World. Because of treasures, or because of their Dao, many people forsake their own friends and relations. On the other hand, because of gratitude, her daughter was willing to pull Water Ying Immortal City into a whirlpool. Tan Liang sighed emotionally by the side, "Lianxi is the kindest girl I know. She is right, if a person doesn¡¯t even know of gratitude, how can they seek the Great Dao? If Pill Master Mo is really being threatened because of his placing to Yunxian Immortal Valley, then I, Tan Liang, am willing to speak up for him." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: "This Wen Lianxi and her mother seem not bad. And this Pill Master Tan Liang had a much better character than Geng Ji, at least he wouldn¡¯t say words that betray his morals." Just when Tan Liang¡¯s words were uttered, two shadows landed within the Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse Hall. The surrounding people went silent; they only needed to look at the emblems on their robes to know that they were from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Don''t just see that they were in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Even the Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun didn''t dare utter nonsense in front of enforcers from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. "Who dares to insult our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and injure our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Tier 5 Pill King." Two people had come and one of them, who had a huge beard over his face, shouted angrily. The other person had pale white skin. When he came, he only swept his eyes across Mo Wuji but he didn''t speak any further. When Geng Ji saw the two of them, he hurriedly said, "This is the pill refiner called Mo Wuji. Just because he was on the top 3 in the alchemy competition, he actually dared to attack our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Pill King Di Baisheng. He even cleaved off one of Baisheng''s arm.". As for the reason why Mo Wuji attacked, he didn''t mention a single word. Mo Wuji sneered, "You think that cleaving one arm is the end? This matter is only just beginning." Mo Wuji detested such people; they used their backing of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to be arrogant and oppress others. Luckily for him, he had joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and was a honorary elder. Otherwise, what could he do if he encountered these two Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Pill Kings? Besides complying, he could only flee. But if he fled, then wouldn''t he have to give up on his Underworld Heart Flower As he thought of this, Mo Wuji started to have lingering fears and the anger in his heart grew. The two Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Enforcers originally wanted to bring Mo Wuji away. But when they heard those words, they immediately changed their ideas. The bearded man clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Even though Pill Master Mo obtained great results in the alchemy competition, publicly cleaving the limb of one of our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Pill King is considered challenging our Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. We request for Pill Master Mo to follow us to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Yong Ying Branch to give an explanation for this matter." Everyone knew that the moment Mo Wuji went to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Yong Ying Branch, there would no longer be a need for explanation. Even though Mo Wuji got 3rd place in the competition, he would be able to leave. As for those two placings, they would naturally end up with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. "What are the two of your names?" Mo Wuji swept his eyes across the two of them. He estimated that they shouldn''t have reached the level of Immortal King. They were very likely Grand Luo Immortals. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, that bearded man¡¯s face turned solemn as he clasped his fists and said, "The two of us are enforcers from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Yong Ying Branch. I am Li Bin and he is Xu Angkang. May I know how I may address this friend?" Mo Wuji had obtained 3rd place in the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition; his name was known by everyone here. It was complete bullsh*t when these two enforcers asked for Mo Wuji¡¯s address. What they wanted to know was Mo Wuji¡¯s origins. Mo Wuji threw out a jade token and said, "This is how you will address me." This was a purple jade token. At the top left hand corner was the word ¡®Honored¡¯, and by the side, there was the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s emblem: a pill furnace with a fire on top. Thereafter, there were the words ¡®Tier 4 Pill King¡¯, followed by another row of words ¡®Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Honorary Elder¡¯. By the side, when Geng Ji saw Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token, his face turned pale white. Di Baisheng, whose face was already pale white, was now completely devoid of blood. They also had a jade token, but their jade tokens were green. This Mo Wuji in front of them actually had a purple jade token. What did the purple color mean? They were Pill Kings of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance; they knew better than anyone else; it represented the existence of a Honored Grade Pill King. Even in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, how many Honored Grade Pill Kings were there? Don¡¯t just see that Gong Yangxue obtained 1st place in the competition. The current him could, indeed, easily concoct a full batch of unique grade Tier 4 pills, but he still wouldn¡¯t earn the ¡®Honored¡¯ title. If he wanted to be ¡®Honored¡¯, he would need to take the assessment for the Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Only if he concocted an entire batch of unique grade Tier 8 pills, would he become a Honored Grade Tier 8 Pill Emperor. The chances of that was close to zero. There was no need to talk about Gong Yangxue; even the most impressive Pill Emperor in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wasn¡¯t Honored Grade. Moreover, this young man in front of them wasn¡¯t simply a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King, he was even a Honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Whether it was grade or status, Mo Wuji vastly exceeded the two of them. They had really struck a metal board this time. Geng Ji¡¯s and Di Baisheng¡¯s faces turned deathly pale and started sweating buckets of cold sweat. Geng Ji was in such regret that he wanted to immediately strike his head on the ground. Mo Wuji was such a talented Pill King, how could the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance have missed out out him? Why did he let his greed cloud his reason? Li Bin respectfully passed the jade token back to Mo Wuji, then he asked sincerely, "Elder Mo. how should we deal with these two?" If Mo Wuji was strong enough, he would have directly wasted Geng Ji and Bai Disheng. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t strong enough, and he didn¡¯t wish to borrow others¡¯ power. Before Mo Wuji could say anything, Geng Ji and Bai Disheng walked in front of Mo Wuji and bowed, their heads almost touched the ground as they said, "We have eyes but no pupils, we actually dared to offend Elder Mo. Elder Mo, please punish us." This was the rule of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. When they offended a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance elder or above, they wouldn¡¯t beg for forgiveness but punishment." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very interested in this, he directly said to Li Bin and Xu Angzhang, "These two men tried to use the name of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to force me to give up my jade token to Yunxian Immortal Valley. Take the two of them away and punish them according to the rules of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." "Yes." The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance enforcers hurriedly responded and swiftly brought Geng Ji and Di Baisheng away. Two Pill Kings had some status in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. But no matter the what status they had, they went to offend a honorary elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. They were simply courting death. When the surrounding people found out that Mo Wuji was a elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, they came to an understanding. Except from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, where would such an impressive, young pill refiner have come from? Wen Lianxi, however, lowered her head. Mo Wuji was so young, and so capable, but he wasn¡¯t overbearing and imperious. If she said that she didn¡¯t even have a bit of feelings towards him, she would be lying. Even though she called her mother¡¯s suggestion absurd, she did have some expectations in her heart. Who didn¡¯t want their dao companion to be strong? Who didn¡¯t want their dao companion to be capable? In the gatherings with disciples of other schools and sects, she did meet quite a number of handsome men. However, she had never met such a young and capable expert like Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a honorary elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, she might actually have a future with Mo Wuji. But now, it no longer seemed possible. Such a young Honored Grade Pill King, even a fool would know that his future was immeasurably bright. "Everyone, please disperse." Mo Wuji waved his hand towards the crowd. The crowd dispersed with goodwill. Even though they could get to acquaint themselves with such a young Pill Dao expert, only a fool would stay behind and offend this Honored Grade Pill King. A few cultivators that were coveting Mo Wuji¡¯s jade token now gave up on their idea. With Mo Wuji¡¯s identity, if they did such things, they would either get brought away or have their schools and sects destroyed. "Elder Mo, many thanks for helping my Water Ying Immortal City." Yan Qianling also had a change in attitude; if she thought that Mo Wuji and Wen Lianxi were suitable previously, she no longer had such ideas. Mo Wuji was a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Honored Grade Pill King and a honorary elder. This sort of status was even higher than the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City. Why would an esteemed elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance care about the ordinary Wen Lianxi? It¡¯s true that Wen Lianxi¡¯s looks could be among the top in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. But when immortals looked for dao companions, looks were one of their last priorities. From Wen Lianxi¡¯s words, Mo Wuji knew that this elegant woman was Wen Lianxi¡¯s mother. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Senior is too courteous. Why don¡¯t we go over to my rest house for a chat." Mo Wuji guessed that Yan Qianling didn¡¯t come over with Wen Lianxi simply to thank him. They probably wanted one of the jade tokens to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. Anyways, he had two jade tokens on him, so there was no harm in giving one to Wen Lianxi. "Haha, Elder Mo, you''re a fast runner. Heng Jun and I wanted to look for you but you were already gone. So now, we have to be the unwelcomed guests knocking on your door. On the way, we met Brother Wu Yunsheng so we came together." A loud chortle could be heard, thereafter, Mo Wuji saw Gong Yangxue. Behind Gong Yangxue, were the two other Pill Emperors: one was Heng Jun and the other was Wu Yunsheng. Mo Wuji immediately knew why these fellas had come. Just like how looking at their pills opened doors for him, these Pill Emperors were also shocked at his ability to purify herbs and probably wanted to learn his methods. Chapter 554: Pill Dao Discussion Chapter 554: Pill Dao Discussion Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "It is truly my fault that I have to let these Pill Emperors visit me here at my residence. If you needed the help of a small fry like me, the few of you should have just called out for me and I will be wherever you want me to be. How could I trouble important figures like the few of you to come over personally?" Mo Wuji appeared enthusiastic as he took a few steps forward to pay his greetings. Even though Mo Wuji said this, if these Pill Emperors really called out for him via a letter, he would treat these letters as non-existent. He was currently an honoured grade Tier 5 Pill King and the truth was that in time to come, he would definitely be a Pill Emperor like them. Moreover, these Pill Emperors came over for his guidance so Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really raise their status to be any higher than Yan Qianling. Yan Qianling is Wen Lianxi¡¯s mother and Wen Lianxi saved his life before. Additionally, Mo Wuji truly admired Wen Lianxi¡¯s character so he was even willing to address Yan Qianling as ¡®Senior¡¯. However, these Pill Emperors were here to learn a few things from him so he would be considered kind if he didn¡¯t demand these few fellas to address him as ¡®Teacher¡¯. As for him addressing them as ¡®Seniors¡¯, Mo Wuji would not be willing to do so just yet. "Haha, Old Brother Mo we shan¡¯t address you as ¡®Elder¡¯ so you needn¡¯t think of us as important figures because it would just make us feel distant. Why don¡¯t we all address each other as brothers? What do you think of this suggestion?" Gong Yangxue was the most experienced so how could he not noticed that Mo Wuji was polite but had a lack of respect for them in his tone. This proved that this Elder Mo didn¡¯t even treat them as seniors but people of the same level as he was. "Since this is the case, I shall accept this suggestion deferentially. Since these three Old Brothers are here, why don¡¯t you head in together with me?" Mo Wuji waved his hand and displayed a welcoming posture. Seeing the arrival of the three Pill Emperors, Yan Qianling knew that there was a vast gap in statuses so she hurried to say, "Elder Mo, you are very busy now so we will drop by some other day to thank you." Mo Wuji chuckled, "Lianxi and I are friends too and she even saved my life once. Since everyone is here today, let¡¯s just head in together." Mo Wuji noticed the Tan Liang¡¯s desire to talk freely and listened to these Pill Emperors. A casual sentence from Mo Wuji was actually something Tan Liang would never dream of happening in his entire lifetime so why not help a fellow friend out? Now that Mo Wuji had invited them, Yan Qianling would naturally not reject him. No matter what, being able to talk to these Pill Emperors would be an eye-opening experience for them. Observing how Mo Wuji was bringing the few Pill Emperors up, everyone in the resthouse was filled with jealousy as they paid their respects from far away. No matter where a Pill Emperor went, he would be greeted with much respect from everyone around him. Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse¡¯s Deacon was trembling in excitement because even though the Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse was decently popular in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, it was still a few grades off the better resthouses in the same Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Presently, three Pill Emperors were here in his Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse. What kind of honour was he receiving? Moreover, the top 4 of this Grand Alchemy Competition were all here in his Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse. Despite the deacon wanting to ask if Mo Wuji would like the Yue Gui Immortal Resthouse to serve them the best immortal tea and snacks for free, he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Even though Mo Wuji was not a Pill Emperor yet, he was still an honoured grade Pill King and even an honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. This status was no weaker than a Pill Emperor so he would definitely not dare to interrupt Mo Wuji and the few Pill Emperors. The moment Mo Wuji returned to his residence, he realised that Lin Gu was already back. Evidently, she knew that Mo Wuji had guests over so she had already prepared some immortal tea readied to be served. Yan Qianling saw a delicate looking lady in Mo Wuji¡¯s residence and despite her knowing that she shouldn¡¯t ask, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, "Elder Mo, this is?" Mo Wuji smiled and said, "This is Lin Gu and she is a friend of mine. She is staying here because I had some things which I needed her help." There were simply too many people here and even some Pill Emperors and because Yan Qianling wasn¡¯t that close to Mo Wuji, it was wise not to continue probing. Gong Yangxue was the most experienced so he would naturally not be too bothered with Yan Qianling¡¯s worries as he simply greeted her before asking, "Old Brother Mo¡¯s understanding of the purification of herbs is something the few of us could never compare to. Our visit this time round is to ask for some guidance in that aspect." Mo Wuji knew that this was coming so he replied without any hesitation, "I am not worthy to provide the few of you with guidance but I would love to exchange some ideas and knowledge. I am indeed pretty knowledgeable in terms of purifying immortal herbs but my understanding of Pill Dao will definitely be extremely far off the three Old Brothers here. I was also hoping for some guidance from the three of you." This was equivalent to mutual exchanges of knowledge and understandings because Mo Wuji¡¯s capabilities wasn¡¯t achieved overnight. Mo Wuji created his own technique and even opened meridians for cultivation. His understanding towards Pill Dao and purification was definitely more unique than other people¡¯s understandings. The moment he started to explain, the few Pill Emperors realised how Mo Wuji managed to show them a new path in terms of their understanding of Pill Dao and more specifically, purification. As he was enraptured to Mo Wuji¡¯s sharing, even Gong Yangxue couldn¡¯t help but to scratch his head in excitement. It wasn¡¯t just Gong Yangxue but even the two other Pill Emperors, Heng Jun and Wu Yunsheng were all captivated by Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding and had completely forsaken their last strand of doubts for Mo Wuji. As for Tan Liang, who accompanied Yan Qianling here, he was even more enraptured and couldn¡¯t stop trembling excitedly. Ever since he started learning Pill Dao, he had never learnt so much and even understood a new logic to purifying immortal herbs. Even though Mo Wuji was very capable in teaching, he would definitely not forget about learning too. After explaining for a while, he would take the initiative to change the topic to pill refinement. The three Pill Emperors initially had an attitude of providing some tips to Mo Wuji but when they started sharing some pointers of the Pill Dao, Mo Wuji would deduce a few points that was not any weaker than what they had learnt before. In fact, it covered an even wider scope which was why these Pill Emperors threw away that initial attitude they carried with them. As the five pill refiners were deep in discussion, every one of them was eagerly learning something new. The one who talked the most was Mo Wuji while the one who was the quietest was Tan Liang. Because his Pill Dao was the weakest, he could only continue learning. Even though Yan Qianling, Wen Lianxi and Lin Gu, who were seated by the side, were extremely impressed by Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to teach the three Pill Emperors, they were starting to get bored. After all, the depth of the discussion about Pill Dao was something amateurs like the three of the would never understand. Feeling helpless, the three of them moved further to the side and started chatting in another room. Yan Qianling found out that Lin Gu really had no special relations with Mo Wuji and that Lin Gu had only invited Mo Wuji to help cure her mother¡¯s illness. Yan Qianling was even more impressed with Mo Wuji¡¯s character because he said that Lin Gu was helping him when he was the one who was supposed to be helping her. Just like how he helped Wen Lianxi, Mo Wuji seemed to have no intentions to appear like a hero and asked for gratitude to be shown. The three Pill Emperors, Tan Liang and Mo Wuji started their discussion and it lasted for two full days. If it was not for Mo Wuji¡¯s concern over the opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley, the discussion might have carried on for a few more days. Gong Yangxue was also aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s intention to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley so after Mo Wuji stopped the discussion, he took the initiative to stand up and clasp his fist towards Mo Wuji, "Regardless of the age, those who are capable are the mentors. During this discussion, Brother Mo is my, Gong Yangxue, mentor." Heng Jin and Wu Yunsheng was even more grateful towards Mo Wuji because their rewards this time round was far beyond what they expected initially. Mo Wuji chuckled, "The three of you are capable which was why it didn¡¯t take much for me to teach. I have also learnt a lot from the three older brothers here and I have definitely benefited a lot from this meeting, I have to go to the Yunxian Immortal Valley now so we shall meet in the future if we have the opportunity." The three Pill Emperors instantly reserved a meeting with Mo Wuji back at the headquarters of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance before saying their goodbyes with a slight reluctance. Mo Wuji was also not lying when he said that his rewards from this meeting was no lesser than the few of them. It could be said that as long as he was given sufficient amount of Tier 6 Immortal herbs, he was confident that he would be able to advance to become an honoured grade Tier 6 Pill King in the shortest possible time. Furthermore, the unique grade pills he concoct in the future would improve by yet another level. After sending the three Pill Emperors off, Mo Wuji said to Yan Qianling apologetically, "Senior Yan, I have really neglected you for the past two days." After saying this, Mo Wuji took the initiative to take out the jade token which allowed one to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley and said, "This is the jade token to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley and I ask for senior to accept it." Yan Qianling hurried to reject him, "Elder Yan, I really didn¡¯t come for the slot to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley. The purpose of my visit with Lianxi was simply to express our gratitudes. Furthermore, Pill King Tan even benefited greatly from this trip here." Tan Liang sighed, "This was indeed the case because after listening to the discussion between Pill Master Mo and the few Pill Emperors, I realised that I am only a frog in the well in terms of Pill Dao." Mo Wuji hurried to reply, "Senior Yan, I am considered to be Lianxi¡¯s friend. May I ask for senior to not address me as ¡®Elder¡¯ but to address me by my name. Since senior didn¡¯t need the immortal valley jade token, I shall keep it with me." With the two jade tokens with him, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t intend to waste it. He decided to give one to Lin Gu so that he could invite her to help find immortal herbs for him in the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Afterwards, he would just give some valuable pills to Lin Gu for her efforts. Two is definitely better than one when it comes to searching for immortal herbs. Other than having a low cultivation level, he was also lacking in peak grade immortal herbs. "Alright, Wuji then I shall stand on ceremony with you," Yan Qianling didn¡¯t insist as she really started addressing Mo Wuji with his real name. After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something as she smiled and looked at Mo Wuji, "Wuji, you looked pretty young to me so I wonder if you have a Dao companion?" Mo Wuji was not one with low EQ so after hearing Yan Qianling¡¯s question and noticing Wen Lianxi¡¯s lowered head, he understood the meaning behind Yan Qianling¡¯s question. To be completely honest, Wen Lianxi was indeed a decent girl but the pity was that Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was not even with him. All he wanted to do now was to bring Cen Shuyin back to life. Mo Wuji hurried to respond, "I have a Dao companion and even though you won¡¯t be able to meet her now, I am sure that you will meet her someday." Mo Wuji spoke with confidence that he could bring Cen Shuyin back to life but Yan Qianling understood it as Mo Wuji¡¯s Dao companion had yet to arrive from the cultivation world. Traces of disappointment flashed by her eyes as she glanced at her daughter. Even though Wen Lianxi wasn¡¯t extremely deep in love with Mo Wuji, hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words made her a little disappointed. However, she regained her composure very quickly because there was nothing between them to begin with. "Then I shall bid my goodbye now and my Water Ying Immortal City will always welcome Elder¡­ Wuji you to visit us," Yan Qianling stood up because her main purpose here was to find her son-in-law so if Mo Wuji had a Dao companion, there was really nothing more for her to say. Mo Wuji stood up as well, "Many thanks Senior Yan and I have a pill house in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins so whenever you need any pills, feel free to find me there." Chapter 555: The Illogical Mo Wuji Chapter 555: The Illogical Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yunxian Immortal Valley was not very far away from the Yong Ying Immortal City. It would at most take half a day even if Mo Wuji were to fly over alone. When Mo Wuji and Lin Gu reached the Yunxian Immortal Valley, this place was already filled with all sorts of cultivators. Mo Wuji had experienced too many of such situations so he was well aware that whenever a place with immortal herbs was about open, it would be filled with cultivators waiting outside. Moreover, the Yunxian Immortal Valley was filled with high tier immortal herbs and it rarely opened. Even though less than a hundred people would enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley, the number of businessmen here was insane. It could be said that almost every peak grade merchant house in the entire Immortal World would be here. This was because there was a particular time that the Yunxian Immortal Valley would be opened and when it reached the specific time, the Yunxian Immortal Valley would open automatically. If the Yong Ying Immortal Domain wished to open it before the specific time, it would have to be within three years of the designated time. Early opening would require a large number of immortal spiritual veins and the Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain exhausted a total of 10 immortal spiritual veins to open the Yunxian Immortal Valley ahead of the designated time. This showed how desperate the Heavenly Emperor was for the Yunxian Immortal Valley to be opened. Restrictions were placed around the Yunxian Immortal Valley and the cultivators outside could feel the increasing density of the immortal energy from within. Because Mo Wuji was one of the top 3 of the alchemy competition and also an honorary Elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, majority of the cultivators outside came up to greet him the moment he arrived. "This should be the young and promising Pill Master Mo right?" A clear voice could be heard and an extremely elegant looking man walked over with a smile on his face. This was a tall cultivator with tiny eyes. Even though he looked extremely elegant, Mo Wuji only need one look at this man and his entire body felt uncomfortable. It felt as though countless of caterpillars were crawling up his body, a feeling of extreme disgust. Moreover, this person¡¯s cultivation was so unbelievable that Mo Wuji even suspect that his cultivation level should be much higher than the second President of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Branch as well as Murong Xiangyu¡¯s mentor. This person was definitely a dangerous figure so Mo Wuji clasped his fists cautiously, "I wonder how may I address Your Excellency?" "My name is Wan Fan. Pill Master Mo is a busy man so it is only normal that you don¡¯t recognise me," This cultivator smiled but still maintained his elegance. Mo Wuji eyes shrinked slightly because he really don¡¯t recognise this fella but he was definitely not unfamiliar with the name Wan Fan. This fella was actually someone who could be considered to be on the same level as the Heavenly Emperor of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Sect Head of the Vast Ocean Immortal School, the Zero Heaven Immortal Domain¡¯s peak sect. He had nothing against the Sect Head of the Vast Ocean Immortal School but the key was that he had a huge enmity with the Vast Ocean Immortal School. Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Star Grade Genius Bai Chitian was killed by him and Fu Bei of the same Vast Ocean Immortal School was also slashed by Mo Wuji¡¯s saber before escaping. Now that Wan Fan was here, nothing good would come out of this. It was no wonder Mo Wuji felt that this person was dangerous because this man was definitely here to kill him. "So you are the reputable Sect Head Wan," Mo Wuji clasped his fist casually and since the two of them were meant to be nemesis, there was no need for pretence. Wan Fan stared at Mo Wuji for a while before smiling, "I¡¯ve heard that Pill Master Mo had been to the Broken World not too long ago so I was wondering if Pill Master Mo had met my two good-for-nothing disciples, Bai Chitian and Fu Bei, of the Vast Ocean Immortal School in the Broken World?" Mo Wuji said faintly, "I have met too many people in the Broken World and other than a few exceptional cultivators whom I remembered their names, I couldn¡¯t recall any other names." "Haha," Wan Fan laughed out loud, "Pill Master Mo was a natural genius so you would naturally not remember these mediocre people. In actual fact, the purpose of my visit here today is to strike some deals with Pill Master Mo. I know that Pill Master Mo has two jade tokens to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley and I would like to trade for one jade token with Pill Master Mo. Of course, the price would be decided by Pill Master Mo and regardless of the price, Pill Master Mo would be a distinguished guest in the Vast Ocean Immortal School. As for the past matters, I, Wan Fan, will forget everything." Mo Wuji sneered, this fella was actually threatening him. He, Mo Wuji, was not someone who was afraid of threats. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that Wan Fan should be a Immortal Veteran but so what if he was a Immortal Veteran? "My apologies, I have arrangements for both my jade tokens so I am unable to take it out to trade with this Dao Friend here," Mo Wuji replied calmly. Wan Fan¡¯s face turned cold and his tone became serious, "My Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Star Grade Genius Bai Chitian had not returned from the Broken World and I heard that he met you inside?" Mo Wuji responded faintly, "I have already said that I¡¯ve met too many people inside. I will definitely not remember every Tom, Dick and Harry I meet inside." "Alright, you have guts," Wan Fan¡¯s killing intent shrouded his entire body as if he was about to explode in anger. Mo Wuji grabbed his honoured grade Tier 4 Pill King jade token and his immortal energy seeped into it. A purple light shot out and in just a few breaths, two cultivators wearing the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s robes appeared in front of them. These two people seemed to know Mo Wuji¡¯s origins and immediately greeted him, "Elder Mo called for us?" Mo Wuji just learnt how to ask for help using his jade token and he didn¡¯t expect it to be this effective. This showed how powerful the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was and in fact, as long as an important figure of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was around, there would be hidden protectors from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Perhaps because of this, no one dared to offend the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. These two people were evidently stronger than the two enforcers from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance previously and Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to sense that these two people should be in the Immortal King Realm. Even though both of them were still far weaker than Wan Fan in front of him, they were not people Wan Fan could use his aura to suppress casually. Mo Wuji nodded and pointed to Wan Fan, "This person threatened me just now so I shall hand him for you two to handle." Wan Fan¡¯s expression changed drastically because even though the Vast Ocean Immortal School was powerful, it was definitely not a match for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. He didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to be this fearless to summon the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s enforcers even when he didn¡¯t say any words of threats. If he knew that Mo Wuji would complain so casually, he would definitely not be so long-winded with him. Even if he had to kill Mo Wuji, he would also do it in the dark. The two Pill Dao Immortal Alliance enforcers were both wearing sesame coloured robes and the slightly taller enforcer¡¯s eyes landed on Wan Fan before saying calmly, "Sect Head Wan, your Vast Ocean Immortal School is not a small sect so are you sure you want to provoke my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance?" As the taller cultivator spoke, the other enforcer had already grabbed a faint gold Messenger Arrow Talisman. Wan Fan was definitely not someone they could deal with so they would need reinforcement too. Wan Fan was shocked because how would he know that Mo Wuji would be so illogical to take out his jade token even after he didn¡¯t do anything. He hurried to take a step forward and clasped his fist, "Two Dao Friends here, it was a complete misunderstanding earlier on. If I wanted to act against Pill Master Mo, given my strength, why would Pill Master Mo still be standing there unharmed? Perhaps the way I spoke caused the misunderstanding so Pill Master Mo, please forgive me." The two Pill Dao Immortal Alliance enforcers clearly didn¡¯t want to act against the Vast Ocean Immortal School over a small matter like this so both of them looked over to Mo Wuji. Even Wan Fan knew that Mo Wuji had a complete control over the situation here. If Mo Wuji were to take this seriously, even if he killed Mo Wuji instantly, his Vast Ocean Immortal School would immediately become one of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s enemy. Mo Wuji was naturally not so foolish to act against Wan Fan now. Without mentioning that Wan Fan might act like a cornered dog by jumping over the wall desperately, Mo Wuji had a pile of more important matters to settle now. He gave Wan Fan a cold glance, "Sect Head Wan, please be more cautious as you speak in the future. Your Vast Ocean Immortal School can threaten others but please don¡¯t ever threaten me ever again." After saying this, Mo Wuji clasped his fist towards the two Pill Dao Immortal Alliance enforcers, "Many thanks to these two Dao Friends for your timely help. If anything were to happen to me in the future, both of you can help me report. To plead for Pill Emperor Nong Yong, Pill Emperor Gong Yangxue and Pill Emperor Heng Jun to seek justice for me. Because the culprit would definitely be the Vast Ocean Immortal School." Wan Fan heard this and almost spat out blood because he didn¡¯t even do anything. All he did was to use words and killing intent to threaten Mo Wuji and Mo Wuji framed him so shamelessly. Furthermore, there was nothing he could do now and given Mo Wuji¡¯s character, who knows if he would hurt himself if he tried to act against Mo Wuji? The two enforcers stared coldly at Wan Fan without saying anything. Wan Fan helped extremely dismayed as he simply grunted and left. At a moment like this, there was nothing for him to say. "Big Brother Mo, don¡¯t you think you went a little overboard?" After the three of them left, Lin Gu asked Mo Wuji cautiously. Mo Wuji shook his head helplessly, "Not at all because do you know that even if I were to kneel down and hand that old j*rk the jade token to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley, he would still kill me eventually. Since this is the case, why should I stoop so low to do that?" Mo Wuji was well aware of how a shameless person like Wan Fan would act and that any act of trying to please him would not change his resolve to kill Mo Wuji. Therefore, he decided to be ruthless to let his opponent know of his status and that he was not someone his Vast Ocean Immortal School could offend so casually. Lin Gu understood Mo Wuji very quickly and sighed. Despite Mo Wuji threatened Wan Fan, leaving the Yong Ying Immortal Domain would still be filled with a lot of dangers. A old j*rk like Wan Fan would appear as if he was afraid of the threat of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance but he would definitely not let Mo Wuji off in his heart. Wan Fan believed that whether it was Mo Wuji or any important figure of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, the moment Mo Wuji was dead, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance couldn¡¯t publicly accuse the Vast Ocean Immortal School even if they guessed it was done by them. "Boom!" An extremely oppressive sound was heard and a path appeared in front of everyone. The path exuded dense immortal energy and there were three huge words floating above the path: Yunxian Immortal Valley. Kui Fengyun¡¯s voice could be heard, "May I ask all those cultivators with a Yunxian Immortal Valley jade token to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley and those without the tokens to stay behind. Cultivators to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley must be below the Grand Yi Stage otherwise, you would be denied entry. Because of the early opening of the Yunxian Immortal Valley, the total time to pick immortal herbs would be reduced to half a year." When he heard this, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief because he was afraid that anyone could enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley. It was good that they had restrictions on the level of the cultivation. What he didn¡¯t know was that the Yunxian Immortal Valley was a place to harvest immortal herbs so strong experts were never allowed to enter. This was to prevent the destruction of the immortal spiritual vein during a fight between two powerful experts. Chapter 556: The Secret of The Yunxian Immortal Valley Chapter 556: The Secret of The Yunxian Immortal Valley Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji and Lin Gu followed the crowd of people onto the path which would lead to the Yunxian Immortal Valley. The moment the duo entered, spiritual will could no longer detect the situation outside. Despite containing extremely dense immortal energy in the air surrounding them, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t see any high grade immortal herbs. He separated from Lin Gu because if they wanted to maximise their effectiveness in search of immortal herbs, it wouldn¡¯t make sense for them to stick together. Lin Gu was in the Great Circle of the Xuan Immortal Stage and was prepared to enter the Grand Yi Stage anytime now so there was basically no one here that could threaten her. Mo Wuji was only in the early Xuan Immortal Stage but he was almost as strong as a intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage expert so there was nothing to worry about. The reason why not too many people were allowed to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley at once was mainly because of the worry that people might fight for immortal herbs here. The Yunxian Immortal Valley was vast and boundless and they only allowed 100 people to enter at one time so there was basically no need to fight for any herbs. In fact, even meeting someone else in this vast valley would not be easy. At the same time, there wasn¡¯t much danger in the Yunxian Immortal Valley and it could be said that out of all the immortal herbs secret realms in this world, the Yunxian Immortal Valley was the one everyone wanted to enter. Mo Wuji kept running as his spiritual will kept extending outwards too. After a few days, Mo Wuji started to furrow his brows. In the few days that he had entered this place, he had neither met a single person nor a strand of high tier immortal herbs. Not mentioning the high tier immortal herbs, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even see any Tier 5 or 6 immortal herbs. If this continued on, this Yunxian Immortal Valley would really not live up its name. Mo Wuji increased his speed and after seven to eight days, he finally came to a halt when he saw a Copious Rain Immortal Grass. The Copious Rain Immortal Grass was a Tier 6 immortal herb and it was also the main spiritual herb for the concoction of the Immortal Copious Pill. It could be considered to be the most ordinary Tier 6 immortal herb and the one which was of the least value. Mo Wuji picked this one stalk of immortal herb up before sending it into his Undying World. He didn¡¯t bother continue searching because what was the point of him entering the Yunxian Immortal Valley if it was this pitiful? After half a month, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t find any immortal herb so he gave up running around to search for these herbs. He started installing some spiritual will triggered restrictions and a few more concealed spiritual will triggered restrictions a few kilometres apart of each other. This was so that as long as someone passed by his trigger within hundreds of miles of him, he would be able to sense them. These triggers that Mo Wuji installed were not meant for everyone but specifically the five cultivator which came from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Yunxian Immortal Valley was opened up early by the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun and everyone was well aware of his main purpose of opening it early. It was so that he could find a specific peak grade immortal herb to advance into Immortal Emperor. How could Kui Fengyun not be aware of the current situation in the Yunxian Immortal Valley? Since Kui Fengyun knew about the absence of these high tier immortal herbs, why was the purpose of opening it early? This proved that Kui Fengyun must have had a secret motive and his secret motive would lie with the five cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. As long as Mo Wuji was able to find one of the five fellas, he would be able to find out if Kui Fengyun knew of the problem with the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Despite having installed the trigger restrictions, Mo Wuji was still feeling slightly regretful. He regretted that he didn¡¯t create some spiritual imprints before entering the Yunxian Immortal Domain. If he managed to place the spiritual imprints on the five cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he would be able to use his own spiritual imprint to track these five fellas. The truth was that when he just entered the Yunxian Immortal Domain, he felt this premonition. After everyone ahead of them had already left, the five fellas from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain took their time at the back. However, Mo Wuji had the same adrenaline rush as everyone else to find the immortal herbs in the shortest possible time so why would he notice or care about such small details? A few days had passed and while Mo Wuji was still installing some more restrictions to extend the area he could cover, he sensed that one of his restriction was triggered. He hurried to stop installing the array flags and dashed back to the restriction that was triggered. Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Sacred Art had already reached the Definite Wind Realm so as long as there was wind, he would be able to travel a great distance without leaving any trace. Using his fastest speed to reach the particular restriction, Mo Wuji was very disappointed. The person who triggered his restriction was not from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji had seen this fella talking to a Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. It seemed like this fella was a helper for the Pill King and was not from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Noticing that the fella had a face full of disbelief and disappointment, Mo Wuji knew that he must have been the same as him and had failed to find any high tier immortal herbs. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered with this fella as he went off to continue installing more restrictions. After a few more days, Mo Wuji had already installed over 10 restrictions and had caught up with about four fellas who triggered his restriction during these few days. The pity was that none of them was from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. This made Mo Wuji extremely disappointed and he started to suspect if he was installing these restrictions in the right direction. These cultivators from Yong Ying could have already changed direction. If he started to install more restrictions in the other direction at a time like this, it would evidently be too late. Mo Wuji sighed as this was indeed a situation of ¡®Man proposes, God disposes¡¯. Mo Wuji could have predicted everything else but not the scenario in which the Yunxian Immortal Valley was empty. Perhaps he wasn¡¯t the only one who didn¡¯t expect this and that everyone else who coveted for the chance to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley would never have expected to see nothing here. Just as Mo Wuji was considering if he should continue looking for herbs further in and see what would he find half a month later, one of the closer restriction was triggered. Mo Wuji hurried over with not much expectations and he was instantly excited the moment he saw the cultivator who triggered his restriction. It was young, petite girl with tanned skin. However, Mo Wuji was certain that this female cultivator was a cultivator from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. As long as it was a cultivator from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, things would look good for Mo Wuji. If this female cultivator was looking cluelessly like himself and with not much immortal herbs on her, it would mean that even Kui Fengyun was unaware that the Yunxian Immortal Domain was empty. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level might be slightly weaker than this female cultivator but his actual strength and experience would definitely surpass her. Moreover, he was so proficient in his Wind Escape Sacred Art such that she didn¡¯t even realise that Mo Wuji had already concealed himself near her. The female cultivator didn¡¯t stop in her tracks for too long as all she did was to pause for a moment before moving again. Mo Wuji hurried to follow behind her and after an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji was finally able to tell the difference. The difference between her and the rest of the cultivators who triggered his restriction was that this female cultivator was not looking out for immortal herbs around her. She occasionally took out a positioning ball to look around her before changing direction. As for the positioning ball, even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to use his spiritual will to check it out, he was certain that something was wrong with it. A few more days had passed and the female cultivator finally came to a halt. She checked her positioning ball for a while before standing still and checking it over and over again. Mo Wuji was hidden near her as he used his spiritual will to observe her surrounding. Initially, Mo Wuji thought that this piece of land was no different from any other piece of land and that it was just a wasteland with slightly denser immortal energy in the air. Dense immortal energy was not something extraordinary because as long as one was in the Yunxian Immortal Valley, there wasn¡¯t a spot with little immortal energy. After one hour, Mo Wuji finally felt something was amiss and that this was definitely a concealed restriction, a natural one. He had seen too many natural concealed restriction in his life before and one example would be the hiding spot of Jing Lengbei back in the Lost Continent. In the Broken World, the position of the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit was also a fine example. This place was definitely a peak grade natural concealed restriction and was of an even higher grade than the one with the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit in it. This petite girl should be aware that there was a restriction here but because of her poor understanding of array Dao that she couldn¡¯t see it. It had already been half a day since Mo Wuji noticed it and this girl was still clueless. The woman checked the area and her positioning ball for another two full days and when she still didn¡¯t manage to find it, she stopped observing her surrounding. Mo Wuji guessed that she was about to leave so he hurried to place a temporary spiritual imprint on her. This type of temporary spiritual imprint would only last for five months. After five months, this spiritual imprint would be automatically removed from her body. Mo Wuji had already made his calculations to know that the Yunxian Immortal Valley would be shut off after about five months and if her spiritual imprint was still on her when she left this place, Kui Fengyun would definitely be the first one to notice it. Kui Fengyun was a Heavenly Emperor and was also a snakehead figure in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain so Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t want to offend a fella like him. Indeed, after Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual imprint was finished, the petite girl left in a hurry. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue tailgating her as he started to examine this concealed restriction. After experiencing the concealed restriction in the Broken World, Mo Wuji was more knowledgeable in terms of natural concealed restriction. After this woman left, Mo Wuji took a total of three days and had found a method to enter. He refined a pile of array flags and started to enter the array. Without mentioning the fact that Mo Wuji alone wouldn¡¯t be able to break open the restriction by force, even if he could, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t choose a method like this. The truth was that for natural concealed restriction, as long as one was able to understand it well enough, one wouldn¡¯t need to use array flags to enter. The reason Mo Wuji refined a pile of array flags was not just for entering the concealed restriction but also to conceal the entrance that he found concurrently. Even if someone else were to come by here in the future, he would need at least a few months to find the new entrance. After a few months, even the lilies were dried up since Mo Wuji first entered the Yunxian Immortal Valley. He suffered a huge setback in terms of months wasted and now he was worried that the petite girl might find her partner and come back. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess wasn¡¯t wrong because just after a while, the petite girl really brought two other people back here and these two were cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t aware because he was simply too captivated with the sight in front of him. In front of him was a land full of green Bodhi Flowers. The Bodhi Flower was a Tier 7 immortal herb and it was used to concoct the peak grade Green Bodhi Pill used for healing purposes. A stalk of such an immortal herb was easily worth a pile of immortal crystals but yet he saw a large piece of land full of these herbs. The best part was that he had only just entered. Chapter 557: The Unexpected Rewards Chapter 557: The Unexpected Rewards Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Kui Fengyun was indeed scheming and it seemed like Lin Gu was right. This fella was simply putting on an act all these while about the Yunxian Immortal Valley. There was another universe inside the Yunxian Immortal Valley and that was these natural restriction arrays. Inside these natural restriction arrays were large amount of peak grade immortal herbs and it seemed as though only Kui Fengyun was aware of the positions of these natural arrays. Fortunately, Mo Wuji was able to realise this in time because otherwise, he would be wandering about aimlessly. Mo Wuji calmed his excited self as he gathered this large land of green Bodhi Flowers together before sending all of it, including some of the soil, into his Undying World. Following which, searching for immortal herbs would simply be too easy for Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji collected these Tier 7 Bodhi Flowers, he saw another small piece of land with Tier 6 Micro Snow Six Leaves. There were over three to four hundred of these Micro Snow Six Leaves. Micro Snow Six Leaves was a good herb because not only was it the main immortal herb for the concoction of the Snow Beam Pill, it was a supporting herb for many other immortal pills. The Snow Beam Pill was a pill to help cultivators reduce their hellfire within their heart during cultivation and it was especially effective for some cultivators who were about to breakthrough into the next realm. After the Micro Snow Six Leaves, Mo Wuji found about seven to eight stalks of Mourning Blood Rattan, a Tier 7 immortal herb. This immortal herb was used for concocting the Tier 7 Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill and this was an extremely valuable pill used to replenish a cultivator¡¯s blood and vital essence. This was only the start of a series of surprises to come as very soon after keeping the Mourning Blood Rattan, Mo Wuji found some Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf. The Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf was a Tier 8 immortal herb which Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a single stalk with him. The only useful part of an immortal herb like the Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf was the leaves on top and each stalk had two leaves. The Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf was the main immortal herb for the concoction of the Dry Wimple Pill, something which Mo Wuji had always wanted. This pill would be able to conceal or change a cultivator¡¯s aura or appearance. The pity was that even though Mo Wuji managed to find the Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf, he knew that given his current Pill Dao strength, he wouldn¡¯t be able to concoct the Dry Wimple Pill. Following which, Mo Wuji found yet another bunch of Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit. The Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit was also a Tier 8 immortal herb which was used to concoct the Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill. For cultivators below the Immortal Reverent level, having a Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill was equivalent to having one more life. Despite not being able to concoct this pill with his current strength, Mo Wuji was still indescribably excited. He came for the sole purpose of the Underworld Heart Flower and since there were so many precious high tier immortal herbs here, the chances of finding the Underworld Heart Flower would increase by multiple folds. After finding the Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf, Mo Wuji finally realised the true value of this Yunxian Immortal Valley. It was no wonder countless of cultivators, including Pill Emperors, couldn¡¯t control their urge to visit this place. In half a month, Mo Wuji managed to collect the Green Bodhi Flower, Mourning Blood Rattan, Sight Wimple Immortal Leaf, Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit, Scarlet Dawn Frost, Wild Rose Heavenly Fruit and many more Tier 7 and 8 immortal herbs. The total stalks of immortal herbs he collected was over 1000 which was evidently a reward he would never have expected. Much to Mo Wuji¡¯s disappointment was the fact that he still couldn¡¯t find the Underworld Heart Flower. In fact, he had yet to find a single stalk of any Tier 9 immortal herb. Just as Mo Wuji finished digging up the Tier 7 Wild Rose Heavenly Fruit, he heard ticking sounds. Because Mo Wuji was inside a natural restriction, spiritual will was suppressed within the restriction too. At the same time, because it was a natural restriction, it was extremely silent inside and Mo Wuji would be able to hear clearly any slight movement in the area. When he heard the ticking sound, Mo Wuji hurried towards the direction of the sound immediately. In front of him was actually a crooked old tree with half of its lower body gone. Droplets of crystal clear liquid fell from the lower half of the tree into a stone pool. The stone pool was half filled with crystal clear liquid and an extremely fresh fragrance was emitted from it. Mo Wuji sensed this energy and clenched his fist excitedly. As a Pill King, he was well aware of what was in front of him. This was a peak grade item and was as good as a Tier 9 immortal herb but was in fact, much more valuable than most of the Tier 9 immortal herbs. This was a Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow. A Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow might not have been through a billion years but any stalk of this Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow would have at least been through millions of years. This immortal wood was not just referring to any immortal wood but a peak grade immortal wood which merged with the Heaven and Earth¡¯s immortal energy at the end of its life cycle before producing the purest and most valuable Immortal Wood Marrow. The value of the Immortal Wood Marrow was dependent on the type of wood and the age of the wood. The moment the Immortal Wood Marrow had finished dripping, this immortal wood would be completely withered. However, no matter what type of immortal wood it was, the Immortal Wood Marrow was something so valuable one cannot purchase it with millions of gold. Mo Wuji instantly took out some array flags because he didn¡¯t wish to touch the immortal wood which was producing the Immortal Wood Marrow. The moment he took this wood away, there was a high possibility that it would wither and die without the environment that it was used to. However, he really wanted to plunder away the entire stone pool of Immortal Wood Marrow. With the help of the array flags, Mo Wuji was able to transfer these Immortal Wood Marrow into massive jade buckets of his own. Afterwhich, Mo Wuji sent these jade buckets into his Undying World happily before looking at the old immortal wood with some regrets. Countless of years later, this place would be filled with Immortal Wood Marrow yet again... Mo Wuji realised that something was amiss when he realised that the pool wasn¡¯t even big. Who knew how many years had this immortal wood been dripping the Immortal Wood Marrow so how could the pool not be filled up? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji used his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to scan the place. Very soon, he realised that there was a stream of leakage at the bottom of the pool which wasn¡¯t visible to the naked eye. This stream extended to somewhere far away and as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will followed the stream, he found out that it eventually lead to a massive, cold and secluded gorge. There seemed to be some simple restrictions within the gorge so Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was unable to sense it anymore. Mo Wuji hurried across this stone pool and landed right outside the gorge. The restriction was very simple and Mo Wuji only needed to lift his hand to open it. The moment Mo Wuji lifted the restrictions, he saw two clear cut sides. One side was a land filled with immortal herbs while the other side only had a fruit tree and the trees only had a grey fruit on it. Anyone who entered through here would notice the grey fruit immediately. This was because the grey fruit was emitted a strong spirituality as if something incredible was calling out for him. Mo Wuji could even sense that the moment he managed to gain insights of this grey fruit, he would be able to step into a whole new level. This was definitely an illusion but this also showed how extraordinary this grey fruit was. After Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes swept across the grey fruit, his eyes fell on the large land of immortal herbs. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t stop trembling at the sight of what was in front of him because in one glance, he was able to recognise what the immortal herb was. It was what he had been looking for: Underworld Heart Flower. Even though there was a ¡®flower¡¯ in the name of the Underworld Heart Flower, it looked just like a grass. Mo Wuji had never seen a Underworld Heart Flower before but had read the descriptions of it from the Grass, Wood, Stone book. The book described it to look like a grass and within the leaves of the grass was a small, thin green flower. The green flower had the same colour as the grass so if one didn¡¯t look at it carefully, one wouldn¡¯t be able to tell the difference. Mo Wuji took a step forward and saw that there was a small green flower within every stalk of this grass. This was indeed the Underworld Heart Flower. Mo Wuji would find it perfectly normal if the Underworld Heart Flower was grey in colour in an environment like this but the Underworld Heart Flower was actually green in colour as if it was photosynthesising. There was a total of 81 stalks of the Underworld Heart Flower here so how could Mo Wuji not be excited? After he dug up all of the Underworld Heart Flower and transferred it into his Undying World cautiously, he shifted his eyes back onto the grey fruit. He really had no seen a fruit like this before but there was a description on the Grass, Wood, Stone which seemed to fit this fruit. It was written to be the Emperor Dao Fruit: Grows alone, rare and grey in colour. In the short description, it didn¡¯t even describe its usage or its growing environment. Mo Wuji still believed that this was the Emperor Dao Fruit and that it could be the fruit that the Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was looking for. It seemed as though Kui Fengyun knew of its existence in this place which was why he sent a few people into the Yunxian Immortal Valley to find it. Whether or not it was the fruit that Kui Fengyun wanted, since he had already seen it, there was no reason for him not to take it away. Mo Wuji plucked the Emperor Dao Fruit off the tree before locking it in a jade box. The moment the Emperor Dao Fruit was removed from the tree, the tree withered and disintegrated into a void very soon after. Even though Mo Wuji managed to collect over tens of Underworld Heart Flower, he didn¡¯t think that the origins of it was simple. Not everywhere had the Immortal Wood Marrow and these Underworld Heart Flowers and the Emperor Dao Fruit was actually grown after being irrigated by the Immortal Wood Marrow. Under normal circumstances, who would use the Immortal Wood Marrow to water the Underworld Heart Flower? The Underworld Heart Flower was a Tier 9 immortal herb but the Immortal Wood Marrow was also equivalent to a Tier 9 immortal herb. Having collected the Underworld Heart Flower and a total of 81 of them, Mo Wuji was finally at peace with his heart because he had achieved his purpose of entering the Yunxian Immortal Valley. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he couldn¡¯t leave the Yunxian Immortal Valley now, he had intentions to leave already. Even though the other immortal herbs might be good or valuable, it wouldn¡¯t be attractive enough to stop him from searching for Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul. A few months had passed and even though this natural restriction was not considered to be small, Mo Wuji had searched the entire place once. He had even searched every small corner of the place and Mo Wuji basically collected every immortal herb which was above Tier 6. Other than the Immortal Wood Marrow, Emperor Dao Fruit and Underworld Heart Flower, Mo Wuji also collected three Undying Holy Bamboo. The Undying Holy Bamboo was also a Tier 9 immortal herb and to most of the cultivators, it was much more valuable than the Underworld Heart Flower. The Undying Holy Bamboo could be used to concoct a peak grade body tempering immortal pill, the Tier 9 Undying Dao Pill. After using this pill, even if the cultivator didn¡¯t use to temper his body, it would maintain a certain toughness in the cultivator¡¯s body for a few days and even flames would not be able to harm the body during this period of time. It would be the most suitable pill for one to use during a lightning tribulation. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to concoct the Undying Dao Pill because as long as he had the Undying Holy Bamboo, he would be able to exchange many good items with it. Chapter 558: Escaping the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Chapter 558: Escaping the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before the transfer radiance from the jade token, which was used to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley, lit up, Mo Wuji had basically collected all the good items within this restrictions. Mo Wuji took out a portion of the Tier 7 and 8 immortal herbs to put in his storage ring as he left everything else in his Undying World. Moments after transfer radiance flashed, Mo Wuji was wrapped in a white light to be transferred out of the Yunxian Immortal Valley. When Mo Wuji¡¯s legs touched the solid ground, he was already at the place where he entered from. Many businessmen were already eagerly waiting for cultivators to be transferred out. Even though many of them were aware that the items these cultivators collected from within the Yunxian Immortal Valley would not belong to them alone, these businessmen were still hoping for the best. After all, cultivation resources in the Immortal World were depleting faster than they were growing hence, cultivators were already seeing lesser high tier immortal herbs than ever. Even if they managed to see some Tier 7 and above immortal herbs around, they were all grown by people. As for a natural place like the Yunxian Immortal Valley, it would only be opened once every few thousands of years. There were indeed some cultivators who took out a portion of their immortal herbs to sell but Mo Wuji had no intentions to do so. In one glance, Mo Wuji managed to spot Lin Gu. Concurrently, Lin Gu spotted Mo Wuji too as she hurried over to him. "How was it? There seemed to be very little immortal herbs inside and after wandering about for a few months, I only managed to collect a few ordinary herbs," Mo Wuji said anxiously. "Ah¡­" Lin Gu heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and was dumbfounded immediately, "I¡¯m sorry Brother Mo, I didn¡¯t remind you beforehand." "What happened?" Mo Wuji responded. Lin Gu answered, "There are no high tier immortal herbs at the periphery of the Yunxian Immortal Valley and one needed to travel for about four to five months before reaching the place with more immortal herbs. In fact, the total time to collect immortal herbs would only be around half a month. I also found out about this only after I realise there were no high tier immortal herbs in the Yunxian Immortal Valley." Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on all the cultivators who entered the Yunxian Immortal Valley and soon realised that he was too smart for his own good. He couldn¡¯t be blamed because like all the other cultivators who were not from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, he wasn¡¯t too familiar with the Yunxian Immortal Valley. He was also as clueless as some of the other cultivators when he wondered why there were no immortal herbs in the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Afterwards, these cultivators must have cracked their brains to realise what was happening and dashed inwards madly before finding the region with immortal herbs. On the other hand, he was too focused on thinking that there was something wrong with the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun. If he didn¡¯t suspect Kui Fengyun, he would have soon realised the problem and ended up rushing inwards like all the other cultivators. The fastest one would then be able to find the region with immortal herbs which were yet to be collected. It was also because of his suspicion that he managed to track the cultivators from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain to find that natural restriction eventually. At the end of the day, he succeeded by a lucky stroke as not only did he managed to collect what he needed, he managed to snatch the Emperor Dao Fruit that Kui Fengyun wanted as well as a whole pile of high tier immortal herbs. "So what have you collected?" Mo Wuji asked. Lin Gu¡¯s eyes revealed traces of apologies as she said in a low tone, "I have collected quite a bit but I didn¡¯t get what you needed. I am really¡­" Seeing the numerous pill refiners conversing with the businessmen around here, Mo Wuji knew that this was not the place to talk so he transmitted a message to Lin Gu, "We have to leave the Yong Ying Immortal Domain now. Do you have a way to sneak out? Otherwise, I will be prepared to purchase some masks for disguise." Lin Gu transmitted back to Mo Wuji straightaway, "No need, we will not use the transfer array here to leave. We are already on the outside of the Yong Ying Immortal City so all we needed to do is to enter the void outside the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and I will be able to ignite a spatial diversion escape talisman." "What grade is it?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. Mo Wuji had to be anxious because after hearing Lin Gu¡¯s words before entering the Yunxian Immortal Valley, he knew that he had stolen what Kui Fengyun wanted. Once Kui Fengyun found out about what Mo Wuji had taken, how would he be able to leave? It wasn¡¯t hard for Kui Fengyun to find out about the truth because as long as he gathered the five of them, he would be able to find out what happened inside the Yunxian Immortal Valley. "Grade 8 spatial diversion escape talisman. As long as we are able to leave the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and enter the void, this talisman would be able to bring us out of this domain. Even an Immortal Emperor might not be able to find us," Lin Gu replied convincingly. Mo Wuji said immediately, "There is no need for any hesitation now so let¡¯s leave immediately towards the Six Paths Immortal Domain to find your mother first." Given Mo Wuji¡¯s experience and the fact that he was a Rebirther, how could he not know the importance of leaving early at a time like this? Lin Gu didn¡¯t continue inquiring for the reason as she dashed out of the crowd with Mo Wuji into their flying ship and out of the periphery of the Yong Ying Immortal City. After they left the Yong Ying Immortal City, Mo Wujji threw out multiple array flags as he installed a spatial spiritual will trigger array before taking out his own flying ship. Lin Gu¡¯s flying ship might be good but it couldn¡¯t be compared to his. His Grade 7 flying ship was given by Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Pill Emperor Nong Yong and it was the main reason why Mo Wuji had such a good impression of Nong Yong. "This is a Grade 7 flying shuttle?" Lin Gu was not clueless as she asked curiously the instance Mo Wuji took out his flying shuttle. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Yes, this is a Grade 7 flying shuttle which was given by a senior of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance." Lin Gu exclaimed, "This senior must be really generous. A Grade 7 immortal shuttle like this is not something ordinary people in the Devil Moon Immortal School could acquire. This shows how concerned the senior was for your safety." Mo Wuji suddenly had a realisation because previously, he believed that Nong Yong asked this flying shuttle from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance because of his admiration of Mo Wuji. Only after listening to Lin Gu¡¯s words, he realised that this flying shuttle could be given by Nong Yong himself and not by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. No matter how wealthy the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was, they shouldn¡¯t be able to gift a Grade 7 flying shuttle so casually to him. The next time he saw Nong Yong, he really thank him personally. Just as Mo Wuji was about to board his flying shuttle, he could feel someone triggering his spatial spiritual will trigger restriction. He said with an ugly expression, "Someone is chasing after us and the grade of the flying treasure is not low." Before entering the Yunxian Immortal Valley, Mo Wuji was worried that Wan Fan would be after him but presently, he was more worried about the Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Kui Fengyun. "Should we go back now?" Lin Gu started worrying because the two of them were simply too weak. Mo Wuji shook his head, "There¡¯s no use because heading back would be equivalent to seeking death. Let me think of the fastest way to enter the void¡­" "I have an idea, there is an open air city square called the Rogue Immortal City Square located about a million miles away from here. Inside the blackmarket of this city square, there is a transfer array which would lead to the Bai Ji Immortal City. Bai Ji Immortal City was located right at the periphery of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain so once we leave that place, we would be in the void," Lin Gu explained as quickly as she could. Afterwards, she added in, "The key is that not many people know about this transfer array in the Rogue Immortal City Square. I am only worried that before we could even reach the transfer array, we would be caught up by whoever was chasing us. Mo Wuji answered confidently, "Lin Gu, we shall leave for that city square now. Let go of your flying ship now and let it head towards the opposite direction of where we are heading to before boarding my flying shuttle." Even though a Grade 6 immortal flying treasure was precious to Lin Gu, her mother¡¯s health was more important to her. She didn¡¯t even hesitate as she set her flying treasure to fly towards the opposite direction alone. Mo Wuji brought Lin Gu onto his flying shuttle as he head towards the Rogue Immortal City Square. Mo Wuji was chased all the way from the cultivation world so he was gifted as to how to escape his predators. He knew that whoever was chasing them followed his own preconceived idea which was to follow the energy emitted from Lin Gu¡¯s flying ship. When that fella caught up with Lin Gu¡¯s flying ship and realised that it was empty, they would have reached that city square. The moment the two of them boarded his flying shuttle, their speed increased significantly. As compared to Lin Gu¡¯s flying ship, their current speed was at least two times greater. Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction was not wrong because after half an incense worth of time, a silver flying car soared across the place where they stopped previously. Without slowing down, the silver flying car dashed towards the direction of Lin Gu¡¯s flying ship. Mo Wuji increased the speed of his flying shuttle to the maximum and if he was not careful, he might lose control when using the normal spiritual will. The Grade 7 flying shuttle was indeed the fastest because in less than two hours, Mo Wuji and Lin Gu appeared in front of the Rogue Immortal City Square. There were quite a lot of people in this city square and there were even a lot of Grand Yi Immortal Stage cultivators around. Mo Wuji and Lin Gu found the location of the transfer array very quickly and even before they could exchange for the local currency, they purchased the transfer tickets to the Bai Ji Immortal City immediately. From the time the duo entered the city square to the time they left, they took less than half an incense worth of time. Soon after the two of them left the city square, a silver flying car entered the city square. Very soon after, the person controlling the silver flying car entered the same transfer array towards the Bai Ji Immortal City. ¡­ Concurrently, in the castellan mansion of the Yong Ying Immortal City, Kui Fengyun¡¯s face was as black as a burnt pot. Standing in front of him were the five Xuan Immortal cultivators he sent into the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Presently, their faces were all extremely pale because they managed to screw up a task so simple. "Tell me exactly what had happened," Kui Fengyun¡¯s words sound like it came straight from hell as he had already lost his elegance and cool that he displayed back at the alchemy competition. If one had to describe his tone, it would be gloomy. Every word of his brought along a gloomy coldness which would make one shiver. After saying this, he turned to a person behind him and said, "Immediately stop the transfer array in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and then inform every cultivator who entered the Yunxian Immortal Valley that they need to cooperate to complete the Yunxian Immortal Valley¡¯s map." "Roger that!" The cultivator behind Kui Fengyun was like a shadow because the moment he answered Kui Fengyun, he disappeared in a flash. Chapter 559: The Imposing Devil Moon Chapter 559: The Imposing Devil Moon Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "We should be safe now; we have already left Yong Ying Immortal Domain and entered the void," Lin Gu said in slight relief atop the flying shuttle. She and Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stop to take a rest during the entire journey: the moment they emerged from the transfer array at Bai Ji Immortal City, they immediately retrieved the flying shuttle and charged out of Bai Ji, then when they reached the edge of Bai Ji, they entered into the void. Mo Wuji¡¯s expression was still solemn as he said, "No, we are not safe yet. I seem to have a sense of irrational fear. Lin Gu, hurry and ignite the spatial escape talisman." As he spoke, Mo Wuji already kept the flying shuttle. Lin Gu had utter belief in Mo Wuji¡¯s judgement; the moment Mo Wuji said those words, she immediately ignited the escape talisman. Even if the grade of this talisman was any higher, she would not hesitate to use it. The escape talisman began to emit a faint light, and faint tears began to appear within space. Thereafter, the light completely enveloped Mo Wuji and Lin Gu and they disappeared without a trace. Needless to say, Mo Wuji¡¯s premonition was extremely accurate. In less than a quarter of an incense¡¯s time after Mo Wuji and Lin Gu left, a man with a mask and a high hat stopped at where Mo Wuji and Lin Gu just left. He stared at the space where the two of them disappeared from and ominous glints continuously flashed through the eye holes of his mask. A whole half an incense¡¯s time passed before that ominous light gradually faded away and the man turned to leave. Clearly, he also knew that it would now be impossible to chase after Mo Wuji and Lin Gu no matter what he did. ¡­ At this instant, Lin Gu and Mo Wuji were back on Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle, rapidly moving towards Six Paths Immortal Domain. Only by this time, did Mo Wuji completely calm down. Lin Gu fetched a storage ring and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, these are the immortal herbs I collected from Yunxian Immortal Valley. You can take them." Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will in, he soon discovered that while Lin Gu didn¡¯t collect as many immortal herbs as he, she did find several hundred strains of Tier 7 immortal herbs, over 100 Tier 8 immortal herbs and several Tier 9 immortal herbs. Mo Wuji said, "Lin Gu, keep the immortal herbs that you need. Then tell me which are the pills you require, I will concoct one batch of every kind for you." There were some valuable immortal herbs inside the ring too, but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care too much about them. What he needed now was a large amount of high tiered immortal herbs, so that he could advance to the Pill Emperor level. Lin Gu shook her head, "I don¡¯t need any immortal herbs or any immortal pills. As long as you can help treat my mother, I will be satisfied." Mo Wuji felt rather awkward; it wasn¡¯t that he wasn¡¯t willing to help Lin Gu. This time, he was prepared to give it his all to help her. However, what he learned wasn¡¯t the Dao of Medicine, and he wasn¡¯t an immortal doctor; his wholehearted effort might not necessarily yield results. If he wasn¡¯t able to treat Lin Gu¡¯s mother, then he would truly owe Lin Gu too much. There was no need to talk about all these high tiered immortal herbs that Lin Gu just gave him; just that Grade 8 spatial escape talisman would have already cost countless piles of immortal crystals. Mo Wuji kept the ring, then handed seven to eight jade vases to Lin Gu, "These are the Grand Yi True Pills and Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pills that I concocted. There are also several vases of healing and cultivation pills that are very useful for the Grand Yi and Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. I believe that you would find them useful. In the future, you can also find me for the pills you need to advance to the Grand Luo Immortal and Immortal King Stage. Even though I¡¯m unable to concoct them now, I believe that I will definitely be able to do so in the future." "Many thanks Brother Mo, then I will be keeping them." This time, Lin Gu didn¡¯t reject him; the pills that Mo Wuji gave her were indeed very useful. Even though she could also get them back at her Devil Moon Immortal School, how could the immortal pills that her school get be better than ones from a Honored Grade Pill King like Mo Wuji? Moreover, each one of these pills were important resources for the sect. As a Eight Star Genius, she could get these pills easily, but to average disciples, these pills were far too expensive. Mo Wuji did not give Lin Gu the Immortal Wood Marrow as the value of the Immortal Wood Marrow was too high. He believed that Lin Gu definitely wouldn¡¯t covet his Immortal Wood Marrow, but it would be hard to say for the other people in Devil Moon Immortal School. If Lin Gu were to ever reveal the existence of the Immortal Wood Marrow, then his little life might very well end in the Devil Moon Immortal School. For this sort of thing, he could give it to Lin Gu when his abilities were higher. It wasn¡¯t necessary for him to do so now. ¡­ The flying shuttle travelled at extreme speeds. In less than half a year, the flying shuttle reached Six Paths Immortal Domain; they had entered Starlying Immortal City, the immortal city at the outermost fringe of Six Paths Immortal Domain. Lin Gu pointed towards Starlying Immortal City and said, "Even though Starlying Immortal City isn¡¯t the city of the Six Paths Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor, it is considered one of the top ten cities in the Devil Domain. In the future, if you obtain the Underworld Heart Flower, if you want to get to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool, you would need to pass through Starlying Immortal City. In Starlying Immortal City, there¡¯s a transfer array to the peripheries of Six Paths Ruins. The Soul Condensing Immortal Pond which lies between Six Paths Immortal Domain and the Underworld, is within the Six Paths Ruins." "Actually, I didn¡¯t come out of Yunxian Immortal Valley empty-handed; I managed to find the Underworld Heart Flower in some hidden corner. I was worried that the Yong Ying Heavenly Emperor would think that I took his item, which was why I anxiously wanted to leave Yong Ying Immortal Domain," Mo Wuji explained. Now that they were already here, there was no need for him to continue hiding. "Ah¡­" Lin Gu exclaimed in pleasant surprise, then she immediately said, "Brother Mo, regardless of whether you are able to save my mother, I will follow you to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond." "Many thanks." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Lin Gu. If it was for some other thing, perhaps he might reject Lin Gu politely. However, this matter involved finding Cen Shuyin¡¯s lost soul; if anything could increase his hopes of succeeding, he wouldn¡¯t let go of it. Lin Gu, after all, was someone from the Devil Domain; she was more familiar with the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond than him. Starlying Immortal City wasn¡¯t very far from Devil Moon Immortal School. A few days later, Mo Wuji and Lin Gu had already arrived outside Devil Moon Immortal School. Ever since Mo Wuji entered the Immortal World, he had visited several big immortal cities; he had even went to Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor City - Yong Ying Immortal City. However, Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t really visited any big sects. The Devil Moon Immortal School, regardless in the Six Paths Immortal Domain or the entire Immortal World, held a great reputation and name. Standing at the gate to the Devil Moon Immortal School, Mo Wuji could fully feel the sect¡¯s imposing aura. At the same time, he understood why the sect was called Devil Moon. The defensive array at the gate of the sect formed huge clouds of black fog. Above the black fog, floated two words: "Devil Moon¡¯. Above these two words, there was even the faint outline of a crescent moon. "Brother Mo, follow me." Lin Gu waited for Mo Wuji to keep the flying treasure before calling him over. Thereafter, she held a jade token and walked towards the devil fog-covered gate. As Lin Gu approached, a clear bluestone path appeared from the foggy gate. When Mo Wuji followed Lin Gu along the bluestone path, he saw huge patches of greenery, mountains and rivers. How was this devilish? This was simply Heaven in the mortal world [1]; it even seemed to have an additional vast and majestic heavenly energy which Yong Ying Immortal Domain lacked. In the wide and spacious sect, not only did Mo Wuji saw several buildings, he also saw cultivators moving around rapidly in the sky. Lin Gu gestured towards Mo Wuji, then she started to walk into the air. Mo Wuji followed Lin Gu and discovered that the Devil Moon Immortal School actually didn¡¯t have any air restrictions. The Devil School was truly different in the way they operated; if it was another sect, they definitely would have restricted the air within the sect. An hour later, Lin Gu brought Mo Wuji in front of a tall mountain. The mountain was protected by restrictions, and outside the domain of the restrictions, there was a huge stone tablet which wrote ¡®Moon Seeking Mountain¡¯. Mo Wuji guessed that Lin Gu stayed in the Moon Seeking Mountain. The restrictions were soon released and a delicate and pretty woman bowed towards Lin Gu, "Ao Song greets Senior Sister Lin Gu." Lin Gu returned the greetings before asking, "Ao Song, is my mother better?" Ao Song shook her head with a distressed expression, "Master¡¯s spirit channels are still blackening, and it seems to be getting faster. A few days ago, the School Master came to visit but the School Master was also helpless. Thereafter, the School Master left the school, saying that he would to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to request the help of a Pill Emperor." After explaining this in low spirits, Ao Song lowered her head. By the side, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything. When he heard blackening spirit channels, his heart started pounding. He had the elemental storage channel; his elemental storage channel was able to perfectly heal his meridians, it should also be possible for spirit channels. And this Ao Song was actually the disciple of Lin Gu¡¯s mother. This woman was the ¡®intellectual¡¯ kind of beauty, and her bearings and demeanour reflected her perfect upbringing. What shocked Mo Wuji was that this Ao Song was actually a Grand Yi Immortal; it was even higher than Lin Gu. She had a higher cultivation than Lin Gu, but she still addressed Lin Gu as ¡®senior sister¡¯. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, Lin Gu should have suppressed her cultivation in order to enter the Broken World. It should be because of this that she got overtook by Ao Song. "Is my master out from his closed doors?" Lin Gu asked as she swiftly proceeded into the mountain. Ao Song sighed and said, "No. After Senior Uncle Gu went into closed doors, he had never came out once." Lin Gu entered hastily and she didn¡¯t introduce Mo Wuji. Even so, Ao Song still bowed slightly towards Mo Wuji and made way for him. The architecture on Moon Seeking Mountain was very simple; there were basically seven to eight buildings connected to one another. Mo Wuji followed Lin Gu along a winding stone path before they reached an exquisite looking house. There were all sorts of flowers outside the house. Not only was this place rich with immortal spiritual energy, it even contained the pleasant fragrances from these flowers, causing one to feel carefree and relaxed. The inside of the house was also neat and tidy. Tucked inside the house, there was an Immortal Wood Incense bed; the outside of the bed was a bedding made of extremely fine silk. A woman with a pale white face lay on that bed. Besides her pale skin, this woman was actually more beautiful than Lin Gu. Around her, there was even a sort of indescribable spiritual fragrance. "Mother." Looking at this pale, beautiful woman, Lin Gu hurriedly went to the side of the bed and kneeled by its side; tears continuously dripped out from her eyes. Ao Song also had a downcast expression as she stood by the side with low spirits. Mo Wuji could see that when Lin Gu wasn¡¯t around, Ao Song had taken care of Lin Gu¡¯s mother pretty well. "Lin Gu, you¡¯ve returned." The woman leaning against the Immortal Incense Wood bed struggled to open her eyes. She revealed a smile as she arduously said that sentence. "Yes, mother, I¡¯ve returned. I have invited an impressive pill refiner over. I believe that he would be able to save you." Lin Gu pointed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze did not turn to Lin Gu¡¯s mother, but stood glued to the Immortal Incense Wood bed. [1] I wanted to use Heaven on Earth, but that¡¯s not right hmm Chapter 560: Lin Gus Mothers Illness Chapter 560: Lin Gu''s Mother''s Illness Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Lin Gu''s mother did not seem to mind Mo Wuji''s lack of courtesy; she also did not seem to mind that Mo Wuji was really young, she only smiled and said, "I''ve troubled you by getting you to travel this long journey with Lin Gu. I''m truly sorry." Mo Wuji returned to his countenance and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Senior''s words are too heavy. Lin Gu has helped me tremendously; I''m only afraid that my capabilities are too low and I''m unable to treat senior." Lin Gu''s mother laughed softly, "That''s okay. Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn''t be able to control his own life and death, much less me, someone who''s far from being an Immortal Emperor." Mo Wuji nodded, then said to Lin Gu, "Lin Gu, you can go out first. I would like to examine Auntie''s illness alone." Lin Gu stood up; her eyes were slightly red. It was Ao Song, however, who frowned slightly and immediately said in a light voice, "This immortal doctor, it''s not that Lin Gu and I don''t trust you, but why must we leave for you to examine the illness. I see master as my very own mother; it wouldn''t really affect you if Lin Gu and I stay here." Even though Ao Song spoke lightly, Mo Wuji could hear the meaning implied in her words: she and Lin Gu did not want to leave, and she did not feel comfortable leaving a man alone with Lin Gu''s mother. Lin Gu hurriedly said, "Junior Sister Ao Song, Brother Mo has an upright and forthcoming character. Let''s just wait outside." Hearing Lin Gu say this, even though Ao Song was still rather unwilling, she could only nod her head and follow Lin Gu out. After Ao Song and Lin Gu left, Mo Wuji lifted his hand to form several soundproofing and concealment seals, hiding everything that was happening in the room. Seeing Mo Wuji form seals, Ao Song wanted to go back and question Mo Wuji, but she was stopped by Lin Gu. Towards Mo Wuji, Lin Gu had the utmost trust. "Can you tell me the specifics of what happened?" Only after forming the seals, Mo Wuji sat beside the bed and asked. It was not that Lin Gu''s mother did not look down on Mo Wuji, but it was deep in her bones to not give Mo Wuji any face. There''s was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji was someone invited by Lin Gu, even if he was an immortal doctor, she would do the same. But the moment she saw Mo Wuji form those seals, she knew that she had underestimate him. With a few casual movements to form seals, there was no need to talk about Lin Gu, even she, herself, might not be able to do it. Perhaps her cultivation was countless of folds higher than Mo Wuji, but when it came to the Dao of Arrays, she was far from this Mo Wuji in front of her. Noticing Lin Gu''s mother''s hesitation, Mo Wuji hurriedly added, "Senior, my name is Mo Wuji, I''m considered a pill refiner, and I am also extremely good friends with Lin Gu. Senior, please don''t worry, any words that you say here today definitely wouldn''t be spread out." Lin Gu''s mother''s struggled to prop herself up, indicating her respect, and she spoke softly, "Pill Master Mo, the fact that Lin Gu invited you here definitely means she looks up to your ability. Lin Gu is my daughter, and even though she had been following her master to train in the recent years, I am still very clear of her personality; she definitely wouldn''t trust any random person. I''m merely older than you in age, but I don''t deserve to be called senior. My name is Shi Gulan, if you respect me, then please call me Aunt Lan. We''re all cultivators here and we naturally go against the Laws of Heaven, so there''s no need for such trivialities." "Alright Aunt Lan." Mo Wuji nodded, he also didn''t care too much about this. Even Pill Emperors call him brother, so such small matters naturally wouldn''t be placed in his mind. Shi Gulan revealed a satisfied expression, then she continued, "Those years ago, I had just given birth to Lin Gu, so I went to search for the Immortal Wood Marrow alone. Eventually, I believed that I was poisoned by Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison. Even though I rushed back, I was still too late. After some time, my sea of consciousness began to solidify, my bones turned black and my spirit channels also became black and turbid. The sect had expended great efforts, and even Lin Gu''s Master Gu has also spent much time and effort, but they were still unable to treat me¡­" "Senior was poisoned?" Mo Wuji was inwardly thinking that if it was truly poison, then things would be easy. What poison couldn''t he get rid of? However, from Shi Gulan''s tone, it did not seem like she had been poisoned. As for the Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison that Shi Gulan mentioned, Mo Wuji knew about it. This poison was colourless and odourless; it was extremely hard to notice. The moment one got afflicted with this poison, his sea of consciousness would gradually harden and shrink, his bones would become black, his spirit channels would blacken and his cultivation would become weak. Eventually, he would be reduced to an ordinary mortal that had no cultivation, and die. Shi Gulan said that she went to search for the Immortal Wood Marrow after giving birth to Lin Gu, clearly, she must have wanted to improve Lin Gu''s innate talent. Yes, the Immortal Wood Marrow had another important function, when it was used to wash newborn babies, it would cause the newborn baby¡¯s talent o be incomparably outstanding. Lin Gu was an Eight Star Genius, and her skin was soft and smooth like a mirror; she might have been bathed with the Immortal Wood Marrow before. After hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Shi Gulan shook her head, "At the beginning, the sect head and I, as well as Lin Gu''s master all thought that I had been poisoned. Thereafter, an incredibly reputable immortal doctor came to the Devil Moon Immortal School, and after examining me, he said that I wasn''t poisoned by the Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison, but had been afflicted by an illness." "Did he say what illness it was?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. Shi Gulan sighed, "Before he managed to do so, something happened. Gods Immortal Domain''s Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s beloved concubine fell gravely ill. Immortal Emperor Lun Cai forcefully called for multiple peak immortal doctors and pill refiners from the various Immortal Domains to examine his concubine. It was just that after he left, there was no further news from that immortal doctor." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: that Immortal Emperor Lun Cai sure was tyrannical. That immortal doctor was still examining Shi Gulan, and he actually called the doctor back, this was also knowing Shi Gulan''s status. So many years had passed and no news returned, it was likely that something bad had happened. Shi Gulan could tell Mo Wuji''s doubts, she said, "That immortal doctor is called Cheng Qianhe, he''s one of the Nine Great Immortal Doctors of the seven Immortal Domains. Naturally, Immortal Emperor Lun Cai would call for him. There''s no need to talk about him, Immortal Emperor Lun Cai probably also called for the other immortal doctors." "I''ve heard of that person before." Mo Wuji nodded; he really did hear of Cheng Qianhe before, it seemed like Han Qingru was the one who mentioned him. This person''s name had even spread to the Corner of Yong Ying, one could clearly tell how impressive he was. Mo Wuji said, "Aunt Lan, can you send me your wrist to take your pulse?" Mo Wuji did not know how to measure a person''s pulse, but he did have the detoxification channel which he could use to check if Shi Gulan had been poisoned. Shi Gulan responded with an ''En¡¯ and brought her wrist out; her wrist was pale white without even a single hint of blood. The moment she brought her wrist out, Mo Wuji could see the black bones underneath her skin. Clearly, Shi Gulan''s illness was indeed very serious. Or to put things in other words, if no one came to treat her, she shouldn''t be able to endure for much longer. The moment Mo Wuji''s hand landed on Shi Gulan''s wrist, his detoxification channel twitched slightly, before it immediately went back to normal. The detoxification channel didn''t go and detoxify anything, but Mo Wuji was very clear that Shi Gulan had been poisoned. Moreover, this poison was serious to the point that his detoxification channel wasn''t willing to actively detoxify it. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will entered into Shi Gulan''s body and he soon had another discovery. There was a peak grade immortal herb within her body; this herb was called Soul Margin Grass. Soul Margin Grass was a Tier 6 immortal herb. However, the price of this herb was very low, because it couldn''t be concocted into a pill; it could only be used to brew tea or wine. The tea brewed by this immortal herb could be used to strengthen a cultivator¡¯s soul, and it also had some benefits to a cultivator''s spiritual will. However, the actual benefits are very little, and the taste also wasn''t very good, thus, very few cultivator''s would use it to brew tea or wine. Not only were there traces of that immortal herb within Shi Gulan''s body, they were in large amounts. Mo Wuji''s gaze quickly turned to the teapot on the table beside the bed, and he soon discovered that the tea within had been brewed using Soul Margin Grass. Mo Wuji took a cup and drank a cup of the tea. It wasn''t that he wanted to try this tea, but because with Shi Gulan''s illness, there was completely no use in drinking Soul Margin Grass. Moreover, in the ''Grass, Wood, Stone¡¯, there was a special notice: keep away from Underworld Incense Wood. ''Grass, Wood, Stone¡¯ had also introduced the Underworld Incense Wood; whether it was the appearance or smell, it was exactly the same as the Immortal Incense Wood. Even their functions were roughly the same: they could both calm the mind. However, there was a difference between the Underworld Incense Wood and the Immortal Incense Wood: the Underworld Incense Wood absorbs dark underworld energy. Thus, after some time, faint black marks would appear on its surface. For these black marks, one only needed to lightly rub them for them to disappear. On the other hand, the Immortal Incense Wood wouldn''t have such black marks. There was no need to talk about black marks, even dust would automatically fall off the Immortal Incense Wood. Thus, there was no need to wipe the Immortal Incense Wood as it would stay clean by itself. The reason why Mo Wuji stared at the Immortal Incense Wood bed previously was because he found it very weird. On the edge of the bed, there was dust, and it wasn''t simply at one spot. Seeing Mo Wuji drink her soul strengthening tea, Shi Gulan got rather curious. However, she only had an additional sense of solemnity and she didn''t ask anything further. After Mo Wuji drank the tea, he did indeed feel a soul strengthening energy filling him. Even though this energy was rather weak, it was definitely there. From the looks of it, the tea brewed from Soul Margin Grass could indeed strengthen the soul, but it didn''t have any additional functions. Mo Wuji then placed his hand on the Underworld Incense Wood, but there wasn''t any reaction. Mo Wuji frowned slightly; ''Grass, Wood, Stone¡¯ said that there would be a clash between the Soul Margin Grass and the Underworld Incense Wood, but he didn''t know what that clash was exactly. A whole ten breaths of time passed but Mo Wuji still didn''t get any reaction. He then moved his find to the black area. This time, the moment his finger landed, his detoxification channel twitched slightly before immediately regaining its calm. Mo Wuji immediately activated his detoxification channel, forming a circulation path with the rest of his meridians. Instants later, Mo Wuji found a trace of an almost undetectable poison in his body. Mo Wuji immediately retracted his hand and sighed inwardly; this thing was indeed impressive, even his detoxification channel wasn''t willing to sweep it away. Moreover, the symptoms of this poison was really similar to the Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison. "Aunt Lan, can you tell me about your disciple, Ao Song? What is she like? Where was she from?" Mo Wuji now knew what Shi Gulan''s illness was, but it wasn''t as simple as removing the poison with his detoxification channel. Chapter 561: Treating The Illness Chapter 561: Treating The Illness Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Shi Gulan startled slightly. What kind of person was Ao Song? She immediately understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s question: Mo Wuji actually suspected her disciple Ao Song. She immediately shook her head. It could be said that in her heart, Ao Song had a place similar to her own daugher Lin Gu. Her daughter had spent many years outside searching for immortal herbs to heal her spirit channels, as well as help find immortal doctors to treat her illness. It was Ao Song who stayed by her side to take care of her. Just when Shi Gulan was about to speak, the seals that Mo Wuji installed had been activated. Ao Song¡¯s voice could be heard, "Master Mo, can I come in?" Mo Wuji frowned slightly, but he didn¡¯t say a word. Shi Gulan sighed; if it was one breath ago, she definitely wouldn¡¯t believe that there was something wrong with Ao Song. But now, her thoughts had been shook. Ao Song had cultivated for so long, didn¡¯t she know that immortal doctors hate to be disturbed? "Pill Master Mo, open the seals and let Ao Song in." Shi Gulan¡¯s voice was low, and it even seemed to contain a hint of grief. Mo Wuji released the seals and Ao Song immediately entered the room. She immediately asked anxiously, "Master Mo, how is my master¡¯s illness? Can she be saved?" Her voice was still warm, and it even contained the hints of care and anxiety. Mo Wuji really wanted to ask her: Did she transmigrate from Hollywood? Mo Wuji sighed and said, "I originally had some inklings, but unfortunately, because of your disturbance, I lost that chain of thought. Tell me, do you wish for me to treat your master or not. If you don¡¯t wish for me to treat her, then I will leave immediately. There¡¯s no need for me to continue staying here." An expression of awkwardness appeared on Ao Song¡¯s face and she hurriedly said, "I naturally hope that Master Mo is able to treat my master. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m afraid that my master¡¯s illness would be aggravated¡­ Sorry, Master Mo, I¡¯m not specifically blaming you." Even though Ao Song spoke very slowly, even a fool could tell that she was worried that Mo Wuji would worsen Shi Gulan¡¯s illness. Mo Wuji said calmly, "Even if I¡¯m unable to treat your master, I wouldn¡¯t worsen her illness. Lin Gu.." The last two words was Mo Wuji trying to call Lin Gu over; this woman was a little too annoying. Ao Song hurriedly added, "Lin Gu had gone to see Senior Uncle Gu. She should be returning soon. "Alright, then you can go out first. I will continue to examine your master¡¯s illness." Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was slightly cold. Ao Song apologized once more, then carefully left the room. The moment Ao Song left Mo Wuji closed his seals. And at the same time, he sent out a message. "You sent Lin Gu a message?" When Ao Song came in, Shi Gulan didn¡¯t say anything. But now, when Mo Wuji sent a message, she took the initiative to ask him that question. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, I¡¯m worried that when Lin Gu returns, she would be incited by Ao Song to disturb me." Shi Gulan didn¡¯t ask any further, but said, "Ao Song is the daughter of one of my friends. Because my friend died, I took her in and treated her as my own daughter." Shi Gulan spoke in a very hazy manner, but Mo Wuji also wasn¡¯t interested in the specifics. He said, "Aunt Lan, I can indeed treat your illness, but after I treat it, you will still need some time to recover. But if you continue to keep Ao Song by your side, then even if an impressive immortal doctor came, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to treat your illness." "Can you tell me the reason why?" Shi Gulan asked. Mo Wuji pointed to her bed and said, "This bed isn¡¯t made of Immortal Incense Wood, but Underworld Incense Wood. And the tea that you¡¯re drinking is brewed from Soul Margin Grass. If my guess is correct, Ao Song was the one who gave you this bed. And everyday, Ao Song would rub your bed for you, and she was also the one who suggested the Soul Margin Grass tea." Shi Gulan was stunned. Even though this bed wasn¡¯t given by Ao Song, Mo Wuji¡¯s second sentence was correct. Ao Song did, indeed, rub the corners of her bed, and she did it routinely without any hint of impatience. Even though she had told Ao Song that it wasn¡¯t necessary, Ao Song would still come and rub her bed. As for the Soul Margin Grass, it was indeed suggested by Ao Song. Ao Song said tha this tea could strengthen the soul. That part was true. Seeing Shi Gulan¡¯s blank look, Mo Wuji said in a straightforward manner, "When these two things are placed together, it will cause a poison similar to that of the Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison. Even the symptoms of the poison are roughly the same as the Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison. Actually, Immortal Doctor Cheng Qianhe wasn¡¯t wrong when he said that this poison wasn¡¯t the Tarsal Soul Underworld Poison. Actually, Ao Song is still ignorant; if truly understood things, there¡¯s completely no need for her to continue brewing you Soul Margin Grass tea. Continuing to let you drink the Soul Margin Grass would not speed up the effects of the poison. It could be said that the poison has already been completely converted to an illness, and this illness would cause the solidification of your sea of consciousness and the blackening your spirit channels. Thus, simple detoxification is not able to treat you." "But you can treat me?" Shi Gulan stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Mo Wuji nodded, "I can treat you, and it would only need a single day. But when I¡¯m treating you, no one is allowed to disturb me, and you need to be unconscious." Mo Wuji was going to use his detoxification channel to expel the poison from Shi Gulan¡¯s body, and at the same time, use his elemental storage channel to heal Shi Gulan¡¯s blackened spirit channels. Only he had such methods. As for Shi Gulan¡¯s solidified sea of consciousness, there was no problem with that. The moment the poison got removed, and her spirit channels healed, her sea of consciousness would recover by itself. Whether it was his elemental storage channel or his detoxification channel, they were both Mo Wuji¡¯s biggest secrets. He definitely wouldn¡¯t tell these secrets to Shi Gulan, even if she was Lin Gu¡¯s mother. "Alright, then treat me now," Shi Gulan did not hesitate to say. Mo Wuji nodded, but he did not start right away. Instead, he sent out another message, before installing seals around the room. ¡­ Lin Gu found it very weird. She received a message from Mo Wuji, but the contents of the message were very particular, saying that if she trusted him, then she wouldn¡¯t interrupt him while he was treating her mother. Lin Gu naturally trusted Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t send this message, she wouldn¡¯t have interrupted him. What she didn¡¯t know was that when she was visiting her master, Ao Song had already disturbed Mo Wuji. The reason why she found it especially weird was that after that message, Mo Wuji sent another one. The contents of this message was very simple, "During the process of the treatment, even if the sky collapses, don¡¯t interrupt me." Two messages had come consecutively. Even though Lin Gu didn¡¯t know why Mo Wuji was so cautious, she could understand Mo Wuji¡¯s meaning behind the messages. She knew that Mo Wuji would know that she would not disturb him. Thus, the reason why he sent those two messages was because he didn¡¯t want Ao Song to enter. As she recalled about the concern that her Junior Sister Ao Song had towards Mo Wuji before she left to find her master, Lin Gu subconsciously hastened her footsteps. She was really worried that her Junior Sister Ao Song would touch Mo Wuji¡¯s seals. "Senior Sister, is there any news about Senior Uncle Gu?" The moment Lin Gu arrived outside her mother¡¯s room, Ao Song asked her worriedly. "My master is still behind closed doors. Ao Song, you seem rather worried?" Lin Gu could naturally see Ao Song¡¯s worry. Ao Song shook her head, "I also don¡¯t know why, but I¡¯m concerned about master. That Master Mo is too young, I, ah¡­" When Lin Gu heard that Ao Song was suspicious of Mo Wuji because of his age, she hurriedly said, "Ao Song, there¡¯s no need for you to worry. I personally witnessed Brother Mo¡¯s abilities before. Even a Pill Emperor might not be as good as him." A look of shock flashed through Ao Song¡¯s eyes, but it was immediately replaced by an expression of relief. ¡­ Within the seals, Shi Gulan had already lost consciousness; Mo Wuji was already gone all out in using his detoxification channel to expel the poison within Shi Gulan¡¯s body. With the circulation of his detoxification channel, black energy from within Shi Gulan¡¯s body got swept up, before finally condensing and forced out as black droplets from Shi Gulan¡¯s finger tips. This time, Mo Wuji was merely expelling the poison; he didn¡¯t convert the poison energy into immortal spiritual energy. For one, doing so would waste too much time. Secondly, this wasn¡¯t his own poison. If he was the one that was poisoned, his detoxification channel and his other 107 meridians could form small circulation paths, and then merge to form a large circulation path. That way, he would only need 2 hours to get rid of the poison. But now, he needed to spend an entire day, and that was if he didn¡¯t convert the poison energy to immortal spiritual energy. As the poison formed droplets, Mo Wuji stored them into a jade case. At first, Mo Wuji thought that he would only need a day to complete his treatment. But now, a day had passed but he merely removed the poison. He would need another day to heal Shi Gulan¡¯s spirit channels. Fortunately, Shi Gulan¡¯s cultivation was on the brink of ending, and she didn¡¯t have much immortal elemental energy flowing through her spirit channels. She also didn¡¯t have many blackened spirit channels; just a few. Two entire days passed and Mo Wuji finally completed his treatment. After expelling the poison and healing her spirit channels, Mo Wuji casually sent some life force into Shi Gulan. The moment this crisp life force entered Shi Gulan¡¯s Mind Palace, she opened her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt something different in her body. For several decades, she had never felt immortal spiritual energy. But now, she could actually absorb immortal spiritual energy so easily. Thereafter, the immortal spiritual energy formed a circulation path within her body. It was also at this instant, that her solidified sea of consciousness started to heal rapidly¡­ "I¡¯m already healed? You really treated me, it¡¯s actually true.." Shi Gulan lifted her arms and she no longer saw the black bones underneath her skin. She could not help but cry and mutter to herself. No one could understand what she was feeling right now. As a cultivator, being unable to cultivate and slowly wait for your death was simply the worst sort of torture. In merely ten over breaths of time, Shi Gulan sat upright. Mo Wuji knew very clearly that he could only treat her because of his detoxification channel and his elemental storage channel. Shi Gulan didn¡¯t have any heavy injuries so she only needed a few years to completely recover. "Shall I keep this Underworld Incense Wood bed?" Now that he had saved Shi Gulan, Mo Wuji wanted to immediately leave Devil Moon Immortal School. He took the initiative to remind the rejoicing Shi Gulan. Shi Gulan regained her countenance, her eyes were filled with gratitude. Thereafter, she shook her head, "There¡¯s no need to keep it. Help me call Lin Gu and Ao Song in then." Chapter 562: I’ve Never Been Afraid Of You Chapter 562: I¡¯ve Never Been Afraid Of You Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Mother, you¡¯re¡­" When she noticed Shi Gulan sitting upright without the black colour underneath her skin, how could Lin Gu not know what had happened? She started to cry emotionally. In her heart, the reason why her mother was ill for over a hundred years was because her mother had gone to find her an Immortal Wood Marrow. If her mother¡¯s illness could not be treated, then she would never live with a healthy conscience. Ao Song was also startled. A hint of aghast flashed through her eyes, but she immediately spoke in a pleasant voice, "I¡¯m going to inform the Grand Elder." With that, she turned and left. Mo Wuji turned towards Shi Gulan; he wanted to see whether Shi Gulan would ask Ao Song to stay. A hint of dejection flashed across Shi Gulan¡¯s eyes as she shook her head towards Mo Wuji. Even she knew that Ao Song was going to use this chance to escape from the Devil Moon Immortal School. Since Mo Wuji was able to heal Shi Gulan¡¯s illness, it would mean that what she did had already been revealed. The reason why Shi Gulan called Ao Song over, and the reason why she didn¡¯t choose to remove her Underworld Incense Wood bed, was because she still had a remaining strand of hope. She hoped that Ao Song would realise her mistakes and apologize to her; then this matter would be forgotten. Shi Gulan¡¯s magnanimity had to be praised. Ao Song had screwed her for such a long time but she still hoped that Ao Song would make amends. If it was Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have let Ao Song off. Such an incident was recorded in the books of Earth¡¯s history as well. During that time, Han Shan asked Shi De, "If the world has slandered me, cheated me, humiliated me, laughed at me, made light of me, scolded me, and lied to me, what should I do?" Shi De replied to Han Shan, "You only need to tolerate him, permit him, avoid him, be patient to him, respect him, ignore him, and after a few years, you will look at him with a different light." Shi De was preaching for a psychological victory. With this method, some people ended up living much happier than others. But at the same time, some ended up disdained by the world, with nothing left to their name. The reason why Shi Gulan let Ao Song escape was because she wanted Ao Song to learn to give up on her hatred. But if Mo Wuji was the one who answered Han Shan, he would say, "Then you beat him, punch him, then beat him again. If you can¡¯t beat him, then come back after a few years, then beat him, punch him and continue beating him!" What left Mo Wuji confused was that Ao Song only made it to the door before she suddenly stopped. She slowly turned her head; her face no longer had the same excitement and emotion that she had previously. Instead, she stared indifferently towards Shi Gulan and Mo Wuji and said, "I forgot. The combined power of the three of you shouldn¡¯t be enough to deal with me." Ao Song was a Grand Yi Immortal; Mo Wuji was at the early Xuan Immortal Stage and Shi Gulan was in the Great Circle of the Xuan Immortal Stage. Shi Gulan had just recovered and it would take a few years before she could regain her cultivation. "Junior Sister Ao Song, you¡­" When she heard Ao Song¡¯s words, Lin Gu was shocked still. She stared at Ao Song in aghast; she completely didn¡¯t know what was going on. Ao Song acted as though she hadn¡¯t seen Lin Gu; she didn¡¯t even respond to Lin Gu¡¯s words as she took a few steps forward and opened her palm, "Shi Gulan, I believe you should already know the cause of your illness, right? Originally, I wanted to repay you for passing on your Dao by allowing you to die quietly. But since you¡¯re not willing, then don¡¯t blame me for doing this." A faint light that was curved like a crescent moon appeared within Ao Song¡¯s palm. That faint light seemed to have been formed from nothing. However, Mo Wuji was very clear that it wasn¡¯t formed from nothing, nor was it a skill. It was a true immortal equipment. "You¡¯re the one who harmed my mother, you cruel and unscrupulous thing¡­" Lin Gu finally reacted and was instantly torn apart with emotions as she furiously wanted to charge towards Ao Song. Mo Wuji pulled Lin Gu back and said calmly, "Allow me." He knew that Lin Gu definitely wasn¡¯t Ao Song¡¯s opponent. Simply charging up like that was akin to courting her own death. Lin Gu knew of the incident where Mo Wuji almost killed a Grand Yi Immortal with a single slash. She calmed down and didn¡¯t continue to charge forward. Instead, she retrieved her magic treasure and walked to Shi Gulan¡¯s side. The moment Mo Wuji and Ao Song battled, she would need to protect Shi Gulan. Shi Gulan grabbed her own storage ring, and her expression immediately changed. The reason why she dared to allow Ao Song in was because she had a Grade 8 attack-type talisman in her storage ring. There was no need to talk about one Ao Song, even if 100 Ao Songs came, she would be able to deal with it. But when she touched her storage ring, she found that she still wasn¡¯t even able to open it. Her sea of consciousness had just come back to live, and it would need at least a day for her to recover her spiritual will. For her to activate that talisman, it would need at least half a month. She had just recovered and she still wasn¡¯t used to a body which couldn¡¯t absorb immortal spiritual energy and use spiritual will. "Wait, Ao Song, let Pill Master Mo and Lin Gu go. I will surrender myself to you." Shi Gulan reacted much faster than Lin Gu. She understood that the three of them combined wouldn¡¯t even be able to deal with Ao Song and she immediately resolved herself. Mo Wuji extended his hand to stop Shi Gulan from speaking. A grey sabre then appeared in his palm, "Ao Song, since I dared to treat Aunt Lan in front of you, it means that I had never been afraid of you. Come on then, let me see how powerful a Grand Yi Immortal like you is." Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that Ao Song was a Grand Yi Immortal. If Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even discern that simple fact, how could he have lived till this day? To be honest, he didn¡¯t even fear Ao Song. If he feared Ao Song, he wouldn¡¯t have treated Shi Gulan on the spot. "Lin Gu, hurry and bring Pill Master Mo away, I¡­" Shi Gulan saw that Ao Song didn¡¯t have any intentions of letting them go. She struggled to move but she was still too weak. Ao Song was surrounded with killing intent, her Grand Yi Immortal Domain swept towards Mo Wuji. If it wasn¡¯t for Mo Wuji, all this wouldn¡¯t have happened. Mo Wuji also burst forth with his domain; Mo Wuji¡¯s domain was the whirlpool domain. Even though the level of Ao Song¡¯s domain was higher than Mo Wuji¡¯s, the moment their two domains met, Ao Song immediately felt an intense whirlpool force grinding her domain apart. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even utter a single word of nonsense as he directly slashed forward with his sabre. Towards a Grand Yi Immortal, Mo Wuji would not hold back. Immortal elemental energy was violently swept up, forming a sabre light that was tens of meters long. The sabre light was then shrunk by Mo Wuji; the killing intent within it was concentrated and staggering. "Crack!" Ao Song¡¯s domain was never a match for Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. Now, with Mo Wuji¡¯s attack, her domain was instantly torn apart. The terrifying sabre light cleaved downwards; Ao Song subconsciously started to shudder in fear. Before this, she had never regarded Mo Wuji as a threat. This was because Mo Wuji was merely in the early Xuan Immortal Stage and there wasn¡¯t a hint of spiritual aura around him. She only needed one look to tell that he was a trash with poor talent. How could she have expected that Mo Wuji was so terrifying? He merely opened his domain and slashed his sabre, and she was immediately put at a disadvantage. She even started to worry for her life. By this point, Ao Song no longer dared to underestimate Mo Wuji. The faint crescent light shone with greater intensity, transforming into a solid, tangible crescent blade which she used to block Mo Wuji¡¯s sabre light. "Boom!" The two lights clashed; the surrounding seals were instantly destroyed and a sharp, ripping sabre energy soared into the sky. Ao Song was sent flying by Mo Wuji¡¯s violent killing intent as she crashed against the door. A trail of blood flowed down Ao Song¡¯s forehead. Fresh blood continued to seep out, dripping onto the floor. If Mo Wuji¡¯s sabre light had been a little stronger, or if she was slightly slower, then that slash of Mo Wuji¡¯s would have slashed her brains apart. Ao Song no longer dared to fight with Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji had no intentions of letting this woman go. He took a step towards Ao Song; the sabre in his hand began to glow, and at the same time, his whirlpool domain began to run rampage around the area with greater intensity. His killing intent soared rapidly. In his eyes, Ao Song was already dead. Ao Song could clearly feel that change in the surroundings. A grey light of desolation appeared in her eyes. She never expected Mo Wuji to be so strong. Initially, she even thought that Mo Wuji might have been concealing his power. But after facing that slash of his, she knew very clearly that Mo Wuji was indeed in the early Xuan Immortal Stage. It wasn¡¯t that she had never heard of a Xuan Immortal matching against a Grand Yi Immortal. But those were cases of Great Circle Xuan Immortals fighting against average, early Grand Yi Immortals. Even though she wasn¡¯t the strongest Grand Yi Immortal, she definitely wasn¡¯t the weakest. And this Xuan Immortal in front of her shouldn¡¯t even be in the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. This strength was simply hitherto unheard of. She gritted her teeth as she prepared to unleash her trump card. No matter how Mo Wuji was, he was merely a Xuan Immortal. At this point, Shi Gulan finally reacted. A hint of astonishment also ran through her eyes. Like Ao Song, she had never met a Xuan Immortal that was as powerful as Mo Wuji. No wonder why Lin Gu didn¡¯t go to help Mo Wuji but came to her side. From the looks of it, Lin Gu already knew of Mo Wuji¡¯s power. An average Xuan Immortal was completely unable to match him. Mo Wuji¡¯s second slash was bursting with even greater killing intent. Even Shi Gulan and Lin Gu could clearly feel the intense killing intent. "Pill Master Mo, please let her off this once, let her go¡­" Shi Gulan said with great difficulty. In the end, she still could not help but plead for Ao Song. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. If it was him, he would never have let Ao Song off. But since Lin Gu¡¯s mother had said those words, it wasn¡¯t right for him to continue attacking. He could only loosen his domain and his killing intent. At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji loosened his domain, Ao Song gave up on fighting and immediately fled. When she saw Mo Wuji¡¯s sure-kill slash, she knew that Mo Wuji had let her off. She knew that perhaps she might be able to battle with Mo Wuji. But with Mo Wuji¡¯s power, she would still eventually lose. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t pursue her. He only placed his sabre in his ring and lifted his head into the sky. A middle-aged man in grey robes came walking downwards. Mo Wuji immediately retreated; he knew that this fella had come because of his attacks. This fella was at least an Immortal King expert. When facing this sort of expert, he would definitely be insta-killed. Chapter 563: Whirlpool At The Six Paths Ruins Chapter 563: Whirlpool At The Six Paths Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Senior Sister Lan, you¡¯ve recovered?" When the grey-robed middle-aged man saw Shi Gulan, he immediately uttered in pleasant surprise. As for the sabre light of killing intent conjured by Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t even ask about it. "Quan Feng, you¡¯ve come." The disappointment in Shi Gulan¡¯s face had already been concealed, "It¡¯s Pill Master Mo, who Lin Gu had invited from far away, who treated me." The middle-aged man called Quan Feng looked around the surroundings before he asked, "Has that Senior Pill Master Mo that you asked about left already?" Lin Gu hurriedly said, "Senior Uncle Feng, Brother Mo is still here." As she said that, she pointed towards Mo Wuji. "You¡¯re Master Mo¡­" Quan Feng forcefully swallowed the word ¡®Senior¡¯. "You¡¯re the one who treated Senior Sister Lan?" With Mo Wuji¡¯s age, he truly couldn¡¯t be called senior. Anyone only needed one look to tell that he was a cultivator that was even younger than Lin Gu. Moreover, his cultivation was much weaker than Lin Gu. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "I don¡¯t dare deserve the title of a master. I am Mo Wuji, and I was indeed the one who treated Aunt Lan¡¯s illness." A hint of mad glee appeared in Quan Feng¡¯s eyes. He immediately bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "Master Mo, I also have a friend who suffers from a similar condition to Senior Sister Lan. May I ask if you are able to go over and take a look?" Mo Wuji said apologetically, "I¡¯m truly sorry, but I¡¯m temporarily in a rush. Even if I were to go over, it would need to wait till I¡¯m done with my matter." Even though Quan Feng desperately wanted Mo Wuji to follow him, he still suppressed his anxiety, "Of course, of course. Naturally, Master Mo¡¯s matters take the priority. May I know what¡¯s Master Mo¡¯s matter, perhaps, I, Quan Feng, am able to help you with that?" Lin Gu explained, "Senior Uncle Feng, Brother Mo is going to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond." Quan Feng startled, and he hurriedly asked, "Lin Gu, not long ago, you sent a message, saying that you need a placing to get to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond¡­" Even before Quan Feng could finish speaking, Lin Gu bowed and said, "Yes, I promised Brother Mo to help him to get to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond." "Then, Master Mo¡­" Quan Feng looked awkwardly towards Mo Wuji and asked, "do you need a long time for your treatment?" The moment Mo Wuji heard those words, he understood the meaning implied by Quan Feng. He quickly replied, "That¡¯s uncertain. Sometimes, it would require a long time, sometimes, it would only need a few months, or even shorter." The reason why he helped Lin Gu before heading to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was because of the favour he owed Lin Gu. Lin Gu was the one who helped him get to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. She was even the one who told him about the Yunxian Immortal Valley, which gave him the chance to obtain the Underworld Heart Flower. Now, what Quan Feng was implying was for him to help with the other treatment before heading to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t do such things. Indeed, Quan Feng continued apprehensively, "Master Mo, is it possible, on the account of Lin Gu, for you to help examine my friend¡¯s illness. Rest assured, if you need my help with anything, as long as I, Quan Feng, am able to do it, I will definitely help you." If it was anywhere else, Quan Feng wouldn¡¯t have minded if Mo Wuji went off first. However, Mo Wuji was heading to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. There, if an Immortal Emperor was unlucky, he would also die. Thus, how could Quan Feng dare to wait for Mo Wuji to only treat his friend¡¯s illness when Mo Wuji returns? Mo Wuji was a capable master, another encounter with him was as rare as a Phoenix feather or a Qilin¡¯s horn. Moreover, if he were to meet Mo Wuji again, he, Quan Feng, was merely an Immortal King. How was he going to invite such a master to help him? How could Mo Wuji not tell the meaning behind Quan Feng¡¯s words? His face sunk. No matter what, he would not let another matter delay his trip to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Even if Lin Gu could only get them to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond because of Quan Feng, he still wouldn¡¯t do it. Because he had already repaid his debt of gratitude to Lin Gu; he had already treated Shi Gulan¡¯s illness, that was already repaying what Lin Gu asked for. Shi Gulan could tell that Mo Wuji was unhappy. Mo Wuji was a capable young cultivator who hid his capabilities well. He would definitely be an expert no weaker than an Immortal Emperor in the future. This sort of person should be befriended, not offended. Thus, she immediately interrupted and said, "Quan Feng, since Pill Master Mo has an urgent matter to tend to, let¡¯s wait till Pill Master Mo returns before we discuss anything further." "Right, right, I was wrong." Quan Feng also knew that his words were inappropriate and he hurriedly apologized to Mo Wuji. Lin Gu was clear about Mo Wuji¡¯s current intentions, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior Uncle Quan Feng, I will be bringing Brother Mo to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. My mother has just been healed of her illness, and none of her cultivation remains. May I ask for Senior Uncle Quan Feng to bring my mother to the Healing Mountain." She did not talk about Ao Song. Her mother would naturally tell Senior Uncle Quan Feng about it after she left. "Lin Gu, you can rest assured. I will treat Senior Sister Lan¡¯s recovery as my number one priority. Hurry and bring Master Mo to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. After Master Mo returns, we definitely have to invite Master Mo as an esteemed guest of our Devil Moon Immortal School," Quan Feng said. Lin Gu bid farewell to her mother, then hurriedly left with Mo Wuji. She was clear that Mo Wuji was very anxious. Now that Mo Wuji had helped to treat her mother, she was willing to help him with anything, much less bringing him to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. After Mo Wuji and Lin Gu left, Quan Feng finally remembered that sabre of killing intent that he saw and he hurriedly asked, "Senior Sister Lan, who was the one that battled here? And who caused this blade scar?" "Ao Song was the one who poisoned me¡­" Shi Gulan only said half a sentence before Quan Feng reacted and asked in surprise, "Then who was the one who fought against Ao Song?" Ao Song had advanced into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage not long ago. On the other hand, Shi Gulan had just recovered from her illness, one look and anyone could tell that she didn¡¯t have any sort of combat power. Since that was the case, who was able to defend against Ao Song? "It was Pill Master Mo. Until now, I still can¡¯t believe that Master Mo was able to defend against Ao Song. And he made it look easy." Shi Gulan¡¯s voice was filled with slight shock. "Could he have concealed his cultivation?" Quan Feng¡¯s spiritual will turned back onto the blade scar; there was still faint killing intent lingering on the blade scar. Shi Gulan shook her head, "No, not only didn¡¯t he conceal his cultivation, his cultivation shouldn¡¯t be more than the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage. I believe that with his power, even the Devil Immortal School¡¯s number one genius, Lu Jia, wouldn¡¯t be a match for him. In the later generation, I guess that only Luo Ling Immortal Domain¡¯s Great Sword Path¡¯s Fang Shijiang could be a match for him." Quan Feng inhaled deeply. After a long time, he finally said, "So impressive¡­ What exactly did such a person come from?" Shi Gulan answered, "I also do not know. Lin Gu spent more than a year trying to invite him to help. And when he came, he cured my illness, sent Ao Song away, then left with Lin Gu. You saw it too, he seemed to be in a rush to get to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. I wonder which of his important loved ones had died." "Oh right, when I came, I seemed to have seen Ao Song running away anxiously. You let go of her?" At this point, Quan Feng recalled the scene of Ao Song fleeing. Shi Gulan sighed, but she didn¡¯t answer. Quan Feng knew that Shi Gulan did not wish to speak about Ao Song. ¡­ In Six Paths Immortal Domain, Lin Gu¡¯s identity was like an all-access pass. After Mo Wuji and Lin Gu reached Starlying Immortal City, Lin Gu only needed to flash her identity token and they wouldn¡¯t meet with any obstacles. The two of them didn¡¯t even need to queue to use the transfer array to the Six Paths Ruins. The Six Paths Ruins wasn¡¯t merely a place where the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was; it was also a mine filled with precious ores. Lucky cultivators could even find ancient immortal caves there. It was exactly because of this that there were large numbers of cultivators heading there. Just queuing to purchase the transfer array tickets would take one to two days. ¡­ Six Path Ruins. Even though it could be considered to be part of Six Paths Immortal Domain¡¯s territory, it was actually at the very edge. The Six Paths Ruins was like an ocean, the things floating on it were like the icebergs floating in an ocean. In reality, these floating things were continents. Some of these continents were as huge as huge planets, while others were as small as chicken eggs. Whether it was the big continents or the chicken egg sized ones, there were boundless treasures to be found in them. For example, those chicken egg sized stones could contain a pocket dimension that was bigger than an entire planet. Thus, over the countless years, countless of cultivators had come here and had found countless of treasures. The Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was in the deepest regions of the Six Paths Ruins. It was also in the most dangerous area: the Six Paths Whirlpool. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle was rapidly progressing inwards. In this grey void, his flying shuttle was like a shooting star, disappearing into the depths of the Six Paths Ruins. Even though many people saw this flying shuttle, no one went to obstruct it. Anyone that could possess such a flying shuttle definitely wasn¡¯t a simple person. Two months later, the flying shuttle stopped. In front of Mo Wuji and Lin Gu, was a huge void whirlpool. It was as though Mo Wuji was at the Pacific Ocean, witnessing the formation of a huge whirlpool. However, this whirlpool wasn¡¯t formed from water, but various kinds of light that came from the void. Mo Wuji finally understood Quan Feng¡¯s concerns. That was no need to talk about the dangers of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond itself. Just getting past this whirlpool was not a simple task. "Brother Mo, the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond is after this whirlpool. The Soul Condensing Immortal Pond is in between the Six Paths Immortal Domain and the Underworld. The only things that could leave from the Underworld and get to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond are souls. This whirlpool is very dangerous because not even spiritual will can penetrate it. If you¡¯re unlucky, you might even get ripped apart," Lin Gu pointed to the whirlpool and said. Lin Gu mentioned luck, not ability. Whether one got torn apart by the whirlpool wasn¡¯t related to ability; it was completely related to luck. Mo Wuji nodded to Lin Gu and said, "Lin Gu, thanks for helping me. You can go back first, I won¡¯t be sending you off. I¡¯m giving this flying shuttle to you, take it as a compensation for your losses." Chapter 564: Bring Mo Wuji Here Quickly Chapter 564: Bring Mo Wuji Here Quickly Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Lin Gu shook her head, "No, Brother Mo, I¡¯ll go in with you." "You said it too. Surviving the whirlpool leading from Six Path Ruins into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond is completely based on luck. If you go in with me, there¡¯s the chance that you¡¯ll perish." Mo Wuji said as he calmly looked at Lin Gu. If it weren¡¯t that dangerous, he would really have wanted to ask Lin Gu to tag along. After all, he did not understand the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond very well, and another person would mean another source of help. In response, Lin Gu also calmly stared back at Mo Wuji while speaking, "Brother Mo, back then I pledged that I would not refuse any request from you as long as you saved my mother. Moreover, you will not be able to condense the spirit by yourself in the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Normally, one person would be guarding the physical body whose spirit is being condensed, while another would be controlling the Underworld Heart Flower You won¡¯t be able to do everything if you go in alone." Only after hearing Lin Gu¡¯s explanation did Mo Wuji understand that things were not as simple as he thought they were. Thus he did not reject her offer, bowing respectfully towards Lin Gu while speaking, "Regardless whether we manage to save Cen Shuyin, I, Mo Wuji, will always remember the assistance you¡¯ve rendered me." Lin Gu grinned. When Mo Wuji saved her mother, she had already recognised him as a friend. Mo Wuji extended his spiritual will into the whirlpool, and indeed it was ground to bits by the void blade radiances in the whirlpool. This made his heart sink. Since the void blade radiances could destroy his spiritual will, it meant that the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel would meet a similar fate. So Mo Wuji formed his spiritual eye, and an invisible beam of spirit light shot into the whirlpool, after which the individual spatial blade radiances became clear. A thin, almost invisible crack in the void was detected by Mo Wuji not far away from the bottom of the whirlpool. Although the crack was only a small sliver in the air, Mo Wuji knew that once he came in contact with the crack in the void, he would immediately be cut into two. There was no doubt about it. However, Mo Wuji still heaved a sigh of relief. As long as his spiritual eye could see the crack in the void, it meant that he could safely arrive at the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. He had it all planned out. If his spiritual eye was of no use, he intended to use one page of the Book of Luo to protect himself. The Book of Luo was extremely strong, and hence was likely to be able to block the crack in the void. But since his spiritual eye could see them, naturally there was no use for the Book of Luo. "Lin Gu, you previously mentioned that one needed a slot to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, but we¡¯ve made it so far without many obstacles." Mo Wuji only began to ask Lin Gu about the issue of the slots after he no longer had other things to worry about. The reason he asked was because his spiritual eye could see the slot and if this attempt to enter failed, he might try again a few more times in the future. After all, he had 81 stalks of the Underworld Heart Flower. Lin Gu replied, "Actually, there are people guarding the outer borders of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Even though I only applied for one slot, but I can bring a group of people in with me, as long as I am present. You were worried about the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, so you didn¡¯t notice any of them." Finally, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. No wonder Lin Gu kept standing at the front of the flying shuttle. Now it seemed like he had to succeed on this try, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be this easy to enter this place next time. "Lin Gu, let me carry you in." Mo Wuji had his spiritual eye, so by carrying Lin Gu, he would ensure both of their safety "Ok." Mo Wuji thought that Lin Gu would ask for a reason for his request, but surprisingly, she agreed and immediately jumped onto his back. This made Mo Wuji rather awkward, as thoughts of Lin Gu¡¯s fair skin, and her two round peaks filled his mind at that moment, just as they were pressed firmly on his back. It was thanks to the self-control that Mo Wuji had as a Xuan Immortal cultivator that his mind did not drift off to think of other things. However, what he didn¡¯t know was that every move made by Lin Gu was intentional, from the moment that she bent down. Lin Gu was not a woman who was adept at using tricks, and also an extremely conservative person, but not to the extent that she would mind such an act. No matter how conservative she was, after many years of influence from the outside world, Lin Gu had heard of some women that used their good looks to obtain large amounts of resources for cultivation. Selling her body for cultivation resources was something Lin Gu would definitely not have done, but for her mother, she was willing to do anything. She did not understand how to make use of a woman¡¯s charm, and could only use the low-level tactic of showing some skin to seduce Mo Wuji. She didn¡¯t even care about her life anymore, so why would she question Mo Wuji over something as trivial as skin contact? In other words, if Mo Wuji wanted to become a couple with her, she would agree without any hesitation. This was not because she really liked Mo Wuji that much, but it was completely out of gratitude. What Lin Gu did not expect was that Mo Wuji would leap straight into the whirlpool once she got onto his back. Without any preparation. Not even drawing out any defensive magic treasures. On top of that, Mo Wuji sped forward at high speeds, blocking most of the spatial blade radiances outside of his domain. Occasionally, one or two would break through his domain, but they would be intercepted by Mo Wuji himself without affecting Lin Gu at all. "Brother Mo, you should slow down. You have to completely rely on your luck to pass through this place. No matter how fast those that entered this whirlpool were, they could not prevent bring torn apart by the cracks in the void." Feeling that Mo Wuji was simply going too fast, Lin Gu frantically reminded him. Mo Wuji replied, "You don¡¯t have to worry, I know." Since his spiritual eye opened, regardless how big or small the cracks in the void were, he could go around them. Initially, Lin Gu was still rather scared, but she soon found out that no matter how fast Mo Wuji went, they did not meet any cracks in the void at all. She even suspected that Mo Wuji had some means to sense the positions of those cracks so that he could steer away from them in advance. If that was so, then he would have been a little too amazing. Once such news spreads, there would be countless people coming to look for him. However, Mo Wuji was not aware of what Lin Gu was thinking. Other than her initial actions that made him feel kind of weird, he forgot about everything else since the moment they entered the whirlpool of void blade radiances. At this point, all he wanted to do was go faster, hence he increased his speed to the maximum. With his spiritual eye guiding the way, there was no need to worry about any cracks in the void. This speed wasn¡¯t much slower than any Immortal Emperors either. Although Immortal Emperors were not afraid of ordinary cracks in the void, they still had to be extremely careful when entering this place and use their own means to avoid those cracks. If they were careless, they might accidentally perish in there. Of course, after reaching the level of Immortal Emperor, they would have their own own top grade defensive magic treasures, which would serve as an alert to cracks in the void while not being able to handle the cracks completely. ¡­ Mo Wuji sped down the whirlpool with Lin Gu, while at the same time a thin and tall man from Gods Immortal Domain, who was wearing the crown of an Immortal Emperor, was frowning. This Immortal Emperor was one of the top Immortal Emperors of Gods Immortal Domain, Immortal Emperor Lun Cai. It was rumoured that Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s strength had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor Stage, while in reality cultivation was not his priority. He had a woman that he loved, called Ding Zhu, who was his concubine. In his heart, this woman was as important to him as his dao. However, for some reason unknown, Ding Zhu suddenly fell ill and went into a coma. Hence, Immortal Emperor Lun Cai invited almost all of the Immortal Doctors over. But in the past 100 years, Ding Zhu remained in her comatose state, with no improvement to her condition. On this day, under Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s orders, tens of Immortal Doctors came forth to take a look at Ding Zhu before discussing her case. From their looks, Lun Cai knew that this day was just like any other day, without any concrete results. This made him very frustrated, but at that moment, a red-haired woman hurriedly brought in a flying messenger sword. The message on the flying messenger sword was very simple, "There are rumours that a young cultivator named Mo Wuji appeared at Devil Moon Immortal School. This person can cure Ding Zhu." "Hong Ling, who sent this flying messenger sword?" Immortal Emperor Lun Cai didn¡¯t bother with the Immortal Doctors in the house anymore and left immediately. Hong Ling quickly followed behind him while explaining, "It was sent by Su Fei City¡¯s castellan. He said there were at least over 10 immortal cities that have a similar advertisement pasted all over their streets, each of them with the same words." "Hong Ling, immediately go to find out who this Mo Wuji is, and who put up those adverts." Lun Cai commanded. "Roger!" Hong Ling agreed and swiftly left. After she left, killing intent rose up in the corner of Lun Cai¡¯s eyes. A random young cultivator with no background could actually save Ding Zhu¡¯s life. Whoever dared to make a fool of him would definitely be turned into a river of blood. If he could find the person that wanted to make use of him, he wouldn¡¯t mind letting the other party know why he was called Immortal Emperor Lun Cai. As for that Mo Wuji, he had to investigate the matter further too. He would rather have gone down the wrong path than to miss a chance to save his beloved concubine. Not long after, Hong Ling returned. "So?" Before Hong Ling could speak, Lun Cai stood up to ask. With an agitated expression, Hong Ling spoke, "I didn¡¯t manage to find out who put up the adverts. I only know that this guy completely changed his appearance and masked his aura. But as for Mo Wuji, he is indeed an impressive Immortal Doctor. Shi Gulan of Devil Moon Immortal School was cured by him. Shi Gulan is now in closed-door cultivation, and I heard that her cultivation is recovering quite rapidly." "Shi Gulan? I know now. Quick, quickly bring that Mo Wuji over here. I need to meet with him as soon as possible." Immortal Emperor Lun Cai also stood up in a bout of excitement. He was aware of Shi Gulan¡¯s case, as one of the nine great immortal doctors, Cheng Qianhe, had taken a look at her before, but could not heal her at that time. Who would have known that someone else could cure someone that one of the nine great immortal doctors could not? Wouldn¡¯t he want to meet this immortal doctor immediately? Chapter 565: Searching For Cen Shuyin’s Soul Chapter 565: Searching For Cen Shuyin¡¯s Soul Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Two days later, Lin Gu was sure that Mo Wuji indeed had the ability to detect cracks in the void in advance. Although she was prepared to risk her life in here with him, but if she could live, why not? Mo Wuji¡¯s speed kept increasing too, and on top of that he had achieved minor success in his Wind Escape Technique, thus by the third day, he had brought Lin Gu to a stop above a grey pool. Ripples propagated through the surface of the pond, as though as it was filled with water. But Mo Wuji was aware that it definitely was not water. Its aura was permeated with dense yin energy, together with something that he couldn¡¯t really wrap his finger around. Other than that, the immortal spiritual energy present was incomparably dense, which made him suspect if it was denser than inside the Immortal Training Pool at Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Sharkhorn Immortal Ruins¡¯ branch. However, the immortal spiritual energy here was fused with thick yin energy, making it unsuitable for cultivators to cultivate in. Precisely because this was a immortal essence pond mixed with dense yin energy, Mo Wuji believed that the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was the place for cultivators to regain their souls. "Lin Gu, do we take out the physical body first before using stimulating Underworld Heart Flowers in the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond?" Mo Wuji asked. Lin Gu replied with a serious tone, "If we did it that way, it would all be over. The Underworld Heart Flower is a invaluable treasure to all broken souls. Most cultivators will retain their own memories before reincarnating, so once you activate the Underworld Heart Flower, it will attract countless souls over, and in the end even if the soul you are seeking is within the group, it will be torn to bits by the other souls. This made a chill run through Mo Wuji¡¯s spine. He was thankful that he had agreed to Lin Gu¡¯s request, otherwise, a serious problem would have arose from his experimentation. Before Mo Wuji asked any further, Lin Gu spoke again, "Brother Mo, you must first take out the physical body, then refine the Underworld Heart Flowers through it before scattering them into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. This way, only the body¡¯s soul will be able to sense the aura of the Underworld Heart Flowers and move over here quickly. In the end, the soul will fuse with the physical body through the assistance of the Underworld Heart Flower." "Lin Gu, tell me, how should I do this?" Gazing at the boundless pond, Lin Gu sighed, "As the Underworld Heart Flower is too valuable an immortal herb, it¡¯s already very difficult to obtain a single stalk, thus the one stalk must be used effectively. After igniting the aura within the flower, you have to use your spiritual will to prevent it from randomly spreading out. That way, you can increase your chances of the lost soul sensing its own physical body. This was also why I said that the more Underworld Heart Flowers, the greater likelihood for a cultivator¡¯s body to be reunited with its spirit. This is because the more Underworld Heart Flowers, the greater the radius it can spread out to. With this, the chances of a soul lost in the Underworld sensing his body would increase too. At the same time, the higher the cultivation level of the cultivator controlling the flower, the higher the probability of success, as he would be able to better control the flower¡¯s aura¡¯s movement in a wider range." Even though Mo Wuji had 81 stalks of Underworld Heart Flowers, he still took in a deep breath of cold air while looking at the seemingly endless Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. With such a large area to cover, he wouldn¡¯t be able to control the whole pond even with 800 flowers. Lin Gu immediately sensed what Mo Wuji was thinking, and quickly explained, "Brother Mo, we don¡¯t have to spread the Underworld Heart Flower¡¯s aura through the whole pond. Each of the seven great immortal domains have their own restricted areas, so wherever your friend died at, that will be the area which we use the Underworld Heart Flower. Otherwise, no matter how many flowers you have, you won¡¯t be successful." In response, Mo Wuji answered, "I rose up from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and my friend died in the cultivation world below Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡­" A jade slip appeared in Lin Gu¡¯s hands, "Brother Mo, this is a map of how the pond is split into different immortal domains. Yong Ying Immortal Domain is also in it, with about a 500,000 meters in radius." Whew. 500,000 meters. It was still an area he his spiritual will could control. "However, it¡¯s a pity that my jade slip is rather simple. If there were more detailed drawings of the areas in the pond, you could know where your cultivation world is at, and the success rate would be higher." Lin Gu sighed. At this point, Mo Wuji did not hide anything any further, "Lin Gu, I obtained 70 to 80 stalks of Underworld Heart Flower, so it shouldn¡¯t be an issue to control an area of 500,000 meters wide. Moreover, shrinking the search radius may not be that good. After all, souls can move in the Underworld." "Ah¡­" Lin Gu was stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s words. 70 to 80 stalks of Underworld Heart Flowers? Such a large fortune? Even back when Six Path Immortal Domain¡¯s Gai Ao was searching for his daughter, Gai Feiyan¡¯s lost soul in the Underworld, he only used two stalks of Underworld Heart Flower. Soon she regained her senses, and excitedly replied, "Brother Mo, if you really got that many Underworld Heart flowers, then as long as your friend¡¯s soul has not completely dissipated, there¡¯s at least a 80% chance for you to save her." Mo Wuji nodded his head. His spiritual will had already found the area corresponding to Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and as predicted by Lin Gu, it was indeed about 500,000 meters wide. Landing in the centre of the correct area, Mo Wuji raised his hands and set up a floating array, took out Cen Shuyin from his Undying World, and placed her in the array. As she floated above the Soul Condensing Immortal Pong, the yin energy and immortal spiritual energy in the air quickly formed a connection with her. Once Lin Gu ssaw Cen Shuyin, she was secretly shocked. What a beautiful woman this was. In all honesty, as a star grade disciple of Devil Moon Immortal School, Lin Gu herself was a ravishing beauty. She had also seen countless beauties in her time, but there weren¡¯t many that could hold a candle against Cen Shuyin. Although Cen Shuyin did not have a soul anymore, but Lin Gu could still see that she was of a very low cultivation level. But despite that, and not possessing a soul, she still had a unique immortal aura about her, so once this woman rose to the Immortal Realm, and her elemental energy turned to immortal elemental energy, how captivating would she be? "Brother Mo, she looks like she still has a rather dense aura of vitality?" Lin Gu finally realised what made Cen Shuyin different from others. Normally, after a cultivator died, without a soul, the aura of vitality of the body would gradually fade away over time, but for Cen Shuyin, not only did she still have vitality in her, it was very thick too. Frantically, Mo Wuji replied, "I am a pill master, and i made many vitality pills to place by her side. This should be the reason why." These words were blatant lies to Lin Gu. In reality, he had placed the purple gourd next to Cen Shuyin, and within it lay the Breath of Hongmeng. With something like that around, she would remain full of vitality even without a soul. "Brother Mo, she¡¯s very pretty." Lin Gu didn¡¯t give it much thought. She knew that Mo Wuji was a Tier 5 Honoured Grade Pill King, and it shouldn¡¯t be that difficult for one to do something like this. What she was more concerned about was Cen Shuyin¡¯s beauty. No wonder Brother Mo did not care about her or the other female geniuses, and also wanted to save her that badly. So Brother Mo actually liked such a woman. With Mo Wuji¡¯s talent and ability, only such a woman would be fitting for him indeed. Gazing at Cen Shuyin who was lying flat in mid air, a tinge of nostalgia emerged in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, "Her name is Cen Shuyin. She¡¯s a woman who treated me very well. I owe her a lot." "Brother Mo, don¡¯t worry. You have so many Underworld Heart Flowers, so you¡¯ll definitely be able to save Sister Shuyin." Lin Gu comforted him. "Thank you for your well wishes, if I can really save Shuyin, you¡¯ll be our greatest benefactor." Mo Wuji sincerely replied. "Brother Mo, we have always been friends. I will help Sister Shuyin just like how you helped my mother." Lin Gu spoke while drawing out her magic treasure, before continuing, "You can start agitating the Underworld Heart Flowers, and slowly guide them through the area in the pond that corresponds to Yong Ying Immortal Domain. I will guard Sister Shuyin." While her cultivational level was higher than Mo Wuji¡¯s, Lin Gu was aware that she might not have been as strong as him. The effectiveness of him stimulating the Underworld Heart Flowers¡¯ aura would definitely be greater than if she did it. With a quick nod, Mo Wuji took out three stalks of Underworld Heart Flower at once, and refined them through Cen Shuyin¡¯s body, completely immersing their aura into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. After that, his spiritual will controlled the aura to move in a particular direction. His physical location did not change, and soon he took out five more flowers to stimulate. Lin Gu, who was watching from one side, could only be stunned at how rich Mo Wuji was. Even when Immortal Emperor Gai Ao was searching for his daughter¡¯s lost soul, he was not anywhere as generous as Mo Wuji. Underworld Heart Flowers were being expended like they cost nothing. Each time, Mo Wuji used three or five stalks in a bunch, and only after stimulating 10 bunches, using up over 40 flowers, did he stop. At this moment, there was no need for him to take control anymore. Within the whole 500,000 meter radius were Underworld Heart Flowers with Cen Shuyin¡¯s aura. When this aura spread out, only Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul alone would be able to detect it. Even if other souls could get in contact with it, they would not be able to sense the flower within. What an Immortal Emperor accomplished, Mo Wuji did as well, except that the Immortal Emperor used his own abilities, while Mo Wuji used his great fortune. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s method of using Underworld Heart Flowers as though as they were free, was many times stronger than what Heavenly Emperor Gai Ao did. The Underworld Heart Flower aura that Heavenly Emperor Gai Ao spread out had become very sparse by the time it reached the Underworld. On the other hand, Mo Wuji used tens of Underworld Heart Flowers, hence even in the Underworld, their aura still remained rather strong. Of course, Mo Wuji was still disadvantaged, as Cen Shuyin¡¯s cultivation level was much lower than Gai Feiyan¡¯s when her soul entered the Underworld. The weaker one¡¯s soul, the harder it would be to sense the aura of Underworld Heart Flowers. Chapter 566: Cen Shuyin’s Soul Chapter 566: Cen Shuyin¡¯s Soul Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Since the olden days, regardless whether in the world of mortals or cultivators, there were rumors of reincarnation. The mortal world made many guesses regarding this, and all they had were random pieces of news, so they were not particularly sure about reincarnation. But for cultivators, reincarnation existed. However, reincarnating would not be of much use to most cultivators as the would lose their memories of their past lives, so even if they did reincarnate, they would become an existence completely unrelated with their past life. In reality, this was the same for most mortals too. Many people would often dream of scenarios completely unrelated to their current life, when in fact those were shards of memories from their past life. As such, the story of Meng Po¡¯s Soup arose in the mortal world, that every soul had to cross the Nai He Bridge and drink a bowl of Meng Po¡¯s Soup before reincarnating. Precisely because cultivators knew that memories of their past lives would be lost after cultivation, most cultivators were unwilling to reincarnate after their souls entered the Underworld, or they would use any means possible to prevent their memories from disappearing during reincarnation. Some extremely powerful cultivators could actually retain their memories forcefully after reincarnation, and they would subsequently return to being one of the strongest of thier generation. The Underworld was originally the place where the corruption of souls¡¯ memories and consciousness happened, and after spending a sufficiently long time in there, one would automatically proceed for reincarnation, never to be seen again. Although this is the case, the number of leftover souls in the Underworld kept growing. At this point, a tiny weak soul was carefully wiggling its way around a corner full of souls. Just like the others, she did not want to reincarnate. This was because she would no longer know who she was after reincarnating, so what¡¯s the difference between going or not going? Instead, she would rather stay here and have her memories slowly fade away. There are some things, even if you just remember it for a moment longer, would be better than not remembering anything in a new life. The only downside was that there were too many souls around, so she was looking for a slightly larger area for herself, but it was a difficult task to complete. Now she was drifting towards the outside of the group, and based on her estimates, she would only have a few years left. Once these years were up, her memories and consciousness would be completely taken by the Underworld, and she would go straight for reincarnation. All she wanted was to find a quiet corner, and gradually reminisce about everything that had happened to her since she started cultivating. Her mother, Heaven Seeking Palace, and everything that happened between her and Mo Wuji¡­ If Mo Wuji were here, regardless how sparse the soul had become, he would be able to sense that this was Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul. What set her apart from other souls was that, while weak and sparse, Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul was complete, and not some broken soul. At this point, Cen Shuyin felt a familiar aura: her body. Strong emotions overwhelmed her, which almost caused her soul to break apart. Souls and primordial spirits were different. Primordial spirits could escape, but a soul was merely a sort of sparse form of consciousness. After a primordial spirit was destroyed, it could be remade, but if a soul was destroyed, there was basically no way of remaking it. Mortals did not cultivate, hence most of their souls remained in a sparse state, unable to retain their memories or intelligence. However it was different for cultivators, as their memories were not only stored within their primordial spirits, but also in their souls. When a cultivator died, it meant that his primordial spirit was destroyed, and that his soul and body became separated. As the soul has no way to reenter the physical body, it would automatically enter the Underworld. Once in the Underworld, there was no chance of finding one¡¯s physical body. Even the strongest person could only use means to protect his own consciousness to remain as himself. No one could leave the Underworld to search for their body, and on top of that, most cultivators¡¯ bodies had been destroyed after they died. Because of that, Cen Shuyin was very surprised to actually feel the aura of her physical body. One had to realise that she had died in the restricted space outside of the cultivation world, and she believed that Mo Wuji would have preserved her body. But no matter how capable he was, he shouldn¡¯t have been able to bring her physical body to the Underworld in slightly over 10 years. The souls in the Underworld varied in strength, but regardless how strong a soul was, it could only be a little denser and survive for a little longer. They generally did not possess any offensive abilities, except for a small minority that cultivated with unique soul techniques. Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul was sparse, but could still barely make it out from the large group of souls. Souls in the Underworld had unparalleled speed, hence despite how sparse her soul was, she sped through the area swiftly. But this speed came at a price: her soul became thinner with every moment. Days later, Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul had become so sparse to the point that it almost could not be seen any further. If she had stayed in one corner without moving, her soul might have survived for years, maybe even decades. But since she rushed through the Underworld so quickly, there were barely over 10 days left for her. Another 10 days passed, and just as she couldn¡¯t keep it together any longer, she felt a giant whirlpool. Her physical body lay on the other side of the whirlpool which gave off vibes of hell, giving off an aura of death. Cen Shuyin hesitated for a short moment, before she charged headfirst into the whirlpool. She wouldn¡¯t have lasted long without going in, so why would she have cared so much? Once inside, she could feel an aura belonging to her much more clearly. Her speed dropped, and sadness overwhelmed her. Her physical body was right in front of her, but her soul could not last long enough. At that moment, a familiar aura was brought into her through the whirlpool, immediately condensing her spirit. Emotions welled up inside as Cen Shuyin was definite this time that the aura did come from her body. Moreover, the aura that had condensed her soul was actually from the Grade 9 immortal herb of legends, Underworld Heart Flower. She had heard of the Underworld Heart Flower before as some of the stronger souls did mention it. His immortal herb seemed to be very rare, and not only could it condense a soul, but also allow one to find his/her own body in the Underworld. Could someone have brought her physical body to her? As soon as her soul became denser, Cen Shuyin frantically increased her speed. While her soul turned from sparse to dense, and subsequently as she charged off, a soul hidden at the corner of the whirlpool revealed itself. This soul was almost at the level of a rather dense primordial spirit, and it seemed to have a solid shell of sorts. He stared in shock as Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul left as he mumbled to himself, "There¡¯s actually someone who¡¯s summoning this ant of a soul with Underworld Heart Flowers, what a waste, a waste¡­" Without another word, the dense souls followed behind her. In his eyes was a look of excitement. He could not sense the aura of Cen Shuyin¡¯s physical body, but he could see her soul. As long as he followed behind her, he could continue absorbing the aura of the Underworld Heart Flower to strengthen his soul. No, he did not have to absorb the Underworld Heart Flower. All he had to do was to consume the soul in front of him. Why had he hid at the border of the whirlpool for so many years? Wasn¡¯t it to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool from this place and out from the Underworld, so that he might return to the Immoral World? As long as he could return to the Immortal World, he was confident that he could resculpt a body for himself. Having a soul create a body might have been a joke for others, but it was not to him, Zhu Lai. He had spend countless years in the Underworld, and not only did his soul not dissipate, but it had become denser instead. Based on his original plan, he would emerge from the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond in a few hundred year¡¯s time. However, since he had met someone that was using the Underworld Heart Flower to condense souls, how could he not mooch of this from behind? He just had to absorb some Underworld Heart Flowers through the soul in front and he could have the chance to get out of the Underworld in advance. Cen Shuyin continued her mad rush through the whirlpool. Souls were made of pure consciousness, much more ethereal than primordial spirits, hence all souls had the natural instincts to avoid all cracks in the void. Thus, a few days after entering the whirlpool. Cen Shuyin was still safe and sound. On top of that, as she met with more of the Underworld Heart Flower¡¯s aura, her soul became denser and denser. Mo Wuji was not the same as other people. He was simply too generous, to the point that almost every nook and cranny of the area had been filled with the aura of Underworld Heart Flowers. At the same time, the soul following behind Cen Shuyin was become more restless by the second. He could see Cen Shuyin¡¯s denser soul, which created an itch in his heart. How he dreamed of kicking her to one side and absorbing all those Underworld Heart Flowers for himself. But he was also aware that if he did so, he would only be able to absorb the aura once. Only by staying behind Cen Shuyin and waiting for the moment that she was about to charge out of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, would he be able to benefit the most when he gobbled her up then. Many days passed once again, and fear began to rise up in the soul. The amount of Underworld Heart Flowers that Cen Shuyin absorbed was simply too much. Even an Immortal Emperor shouldn¡¯t have had such a large fortune right? If he met with a top tier expert, how would he still eat Cen Shuyin up? As he thought about this, the soul did not want to wait any longer. He intended to consume Cen Shuyin earlier, and once he did so, he could absorb all of the Underworld Heart Flower aura that had not completely dissipated in her. Who knew, perhaps he would be able to absorb a Underworld Heart Flower with a smidge of her physical body¡¯s aura. If that was the case, then all of the benefits he gained over the years wouldn¡¯t even be comparable to this one. Cen Shuyin had spend quite a number of years in the Underworld, so she was not that naive either. Soon she noticed the dense soul that was chasing after her. Souls harming one another was very commonplace in the Underworld, and on top of that, she knew very clearly what the Underworld Heart Flower meant for souls. Hence, she sped up wildly, not even stopping to absorb the aura of Underworld Heart Flowers anymore. But Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul was just too weak. Although she had absorbed some Underworld Heart Flowers, she was nowhere close to the level of that dense soul which was chasing after her. As the aura of her body wafted over, Cen Shuyin knew her physical body was near. Chapter 567: Xuan Immortals Also Have A World Of Their Own Chapter 567: Xuan Immortals Also Have A World Of Their Own Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations If the aura of the Underworld Heart Flowers was too weak, Mo Wuji would have had to constantly guide it, to allow it to fill up every corner. But because he was too rich, he used up over 40 stalks of Underworld Heart Flower at one shot. Hence, without much guidance, the Underworld Heart Flower¡¯s aura filled up the whole area, and as a result, Mo Wuji just had to keep watch beside Cen Shuyin¡¯s body, and did not need to do much guiding.It had been almost a month, and Mo Wuji still did not sense the aura of Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul. By then, he was frantic. If Lin Gu did not tell him that it was still impossible for someone of his cultivation level to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, he might have really went in to take a look.But since he couldn¡¯t, Mo Wuji planned to spend a little more time, continue to use Underworld Heart Flowers, and expand the search area a few tens of times larger.Just as he was panicking, he felt the aura of Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul.Mo Wuji had been with Cen Shuyin for very long, and her body had always resided in his Undying World. Although they were not husband and wife, but no one in the world would know her better than him.However, he soon sensed that something was wrong. His spiritual will detected that Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul seemed to be fleeing from something frantically, with a strong soul following closely behind her. In a few moments, she would be gobbled up!Rage rose up from within, and without a shred of hesitation, Mo Wuji charged straight into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, slashing at the soul behind Cen Shuyin.As the soul was about to grab Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji¡¯s grey blade descended from above. No matter how brutal the soul was, it couldn¡¯t help but dodge.At the same time, Cen Shuyin felt that Mo Wuji was approaching, so she leapt at her body immediately.Both Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul and physical body were not even at the level of an immortal, and under the influence of the Tier 9 immortal herb, Underworld Heart Flower, they merged together as soon as they came into contact. It was because her physical body had been kept in flawless condition, even containing dense Breath of Hongmeng. Thus when her soul and boy fused, the spiritual aura gradually grew stronger. At this point, her spirit started to recover, and her primordial spirit quickly grew¡­Yet, Lin Gu did not have the time to look at Cen Shuyin. She stared shockingly at Mo Wuji. Previously she had told him that one could not go into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, otherwise it would be courting death. But Mo Wuji still jumped in, and despite her screams, she knew that nothing she said would help anymore.The present scenario had unfolded before her clearly, and if Mo Wuji had hesitated for a single moment, Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul would have been swallowed by the soul behind."Ha ha ha¡­" A shrill laughter echoed out. The soul that Mo Wuji slashed at had failed to consume Cen Shuyin, surprisingly broke out into laughter.Zhu Lai couldn¡¯t help but thank the heavens for delivering a perfect body to him. Mo Wuji¡¯s body was young, and definitely had talent to be able to reach Xuan Immortal stage at such a young age. Why did he want to leave the Underworld? Wasn¡¯t it to forge a physical body for himself?Creating a new body was the best, but what was the most convenient method? Possession, and next in line was to find xiantian treasures.The Immortal World had produced so many experts since its formation, so how could any xiantian treasures still be found? Hence the most reliable method would be to possess someone.Possession was easy, but finding a perfect target was difficult. There were indeed many top notch geniuses in the Immortal World. However, those geniuses were all core disciples of large sects, and it went without saying that core disciples were all protected by experts or high level techniques. Even some core disciples themselves were not easy targets to mess with.Moreover, he was a soul, not even a primordial spirit. Once he reached the Immortal World, his strength would drop a few levels further. In such a situation, it was simply too difficult to find a good target for possession.Coincidentally, someone was sent to his doorstep to be possessed, and it was even a perfect target. Souls were after all just souls, so he could not sense how mortal and ordinary Mo Wuji was, hence he thought that Mo Wuji was a top notch genius.Now Zhu Lai completely gave up on Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul, directly charging into Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. To him, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was a godsend. Someone that could use that many Underworld Heart Flowers had to be a top notch expert. Who would have expected an ordinary cultivator like Mo Wuji?His precious motivation for consuming Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul was the possibility that the person summoning her soul was a strong expert, but since it ended up being a mere Xuan Immortal Stage cultivator, there was no need to worry any more.Possession by soul was actually much simpler than Possession by primordial spirit, as souls were harder to deal with in the sea of consciousness than primordial spirits.Once this soul entered Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji knew that something was wrong. But this was still of secondary concern, the main problem was that the yin aura in the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was constantly corroding his body, immortal elemental energy, and even his spiritual will too.On top of that, a strong yin force was pulling at him from the bottom of the pond, causing him to lose all chances of charging out of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond.Even though Lin Gu did not speak of it, Mo Wuji was aware that he had no chance to surviving after falling into the Underworld. Unless he had some superpowers, a mere Xuan Immortal cultivator was dead meat after entering the Underworld.Immediately, Mo Wuji made a decision. He threw the unrefined page of the Book of Luo to Lin Gu, shouting out, "Lin Gu, refine this page of the Book of Luo and leave with Shuyin. Help me take care of her¡­"After he finished his sentence, the heavy yin energy from the bottom of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond dragged Mo Wuji away. At this point, he couldn¡¯t bother about being pulled into the Underworld or the yin energy, as the soul had begun the possession process in his sea of consciousness. Obviously, this soul also didn¡¯t want his physical body to be destroyed in the Underworld.Pain seared through Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness, and that soul was stunned too, as he did not see any primordial spirit in the sea of consciousness.This was the first time he had encountered a cultivator without a primordial spirit. Inside Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness, there was only a large, borderless lake of violet immortal elemental energy. On top of that, the sea of consciousness was extremely large, possible even larger than some immortal kings, which made him much happier than before.Soon, the soul found out how to possess Mo Wuji: swallowing Mo Wuji¡¯s soul and controlling Mo Wuji¡¯s mind palace.After rescuing Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji had calmed down. His cultivation level might have been much lower than the soul trying to mind palace, but he still had a secret of his own: Undying World.When he thought of this, Mo Wuji immediately opened his Undying World, and at the same time a soul rushed into it.Dense Breath of Hongmeng oozed out, causing the soul to pause momentarily, followed by intense excitement welling up from within. He had finally found a god given opportunity of his own. No wonder this ant-like Xuan Immortal was so strong and rich. It was because this guy had Breath of Hongmeng which was hidden in the deepest reaches of his sea of consciousness. Sensing that Mo Wuji¡¯s soul rushed to the location of the Breath of Hongmeng. This soul followed right behind. It wasn¡¯t really careless on his part, as any other person wouldn¡¯t have thought that Mo Wuji would have a world of his own. Those with their own worlds were men of legends, and there might not even have been a single person like that in the entire Immortal World. Of course, many great powers could possess different spiritual worlds, but those were not worlds of their own. Even if those worlds were refined by their owners, once they were opened up, the aura of the world would give it away as an artificial one.The Undying World was a world belonging to Mo Wuji, and although it was not complete, but this world was created by him. This world was fused with his sea of consciousness, so there wasn¡¯t anything different between them.Inside the world, he governed over everything. An extremely strong cultivator might have been able to shatter his incomplete Undying World after entering it, but this soul definitely did not have the ability to do so.It didn¡¯t matter than Mo Wuji was inside the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. His body couldn¡¯t enter the Undying World but there were still many means at his disposal to deal with this incomplete soul before him.The moment the soul entered his Undying World, he closed off the world completely, and nothing could exit it anymore.The Scholar¡¯s Heart flame was unleashed inside the Undying World. Wave after wave of fire flew towards the soul, burning it continuously.Only then did the soul realise that this was a world, a world that belonged to that ant-like Xuan Immortal cultivator."Let me out! Let me out! I¡¯ll tell you how to get of here¡­" The soul panicked and screamed wildly. He knew that only something that Mo Wuji needed would be able to move im. Now Mo Wuji was being dragged by the aura of the Underworld. Perhaps even before he reached the Underworld, he would have been torn to bits by the void blades in the whirlpool or the cracks in the void.However, how could Mo Wuji have had the energy to care about this soul. He felt that his immortal elemental energy was rapidly disappearing, and his spiritual will increasingly grew weaker.A few void blades whooshed past his body. The weakened Mo Wuji knew that he had passed through the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Now what he faced was the whirlpool of void blades, similar to the one he faced before entering the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. The whirlpool had many cracks in the void within it too.Forcibly, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will took out one page of the Book of Luo, wrapping himself in it, and using all of the strength in his body to charge into a crack in the void.Rather than having his physical body destroyed in the Underworld and his soul sent for reincarnation, it was a better option to try his luck by entering a crack in the void. He had already refined this page of the Book of Luo by about 40%, and there was still some chance to live inside of the crack. Chapter 568: Where Am I Chapter 568: Where Am I Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Once inside the crack in the void, the aura of the Underworld disappeared completely, but a much wilder void aura tore through him. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and immortal elemental energy had been completely expended, and his body was corroded to the point that it looked as though as he had just been taken out from a pot of boiling magma, bloodied and full of frightening wounds.At this point, he even lost the ability to look within his sea of consciousness, much less take out healing pills. The only thing he could do was to hide within the partially refined page of the Book of Luo and not move.¡­Cen Shuyin¡¯s body had always stayed by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. He not only used the Breath of Hongmeng to nourish it, but also used the vitality within his vitality channel to try to awaken her.Not only ago, her soul had absorbed a large amount of Underworld Heart Flowers, so it had perfectly fused with the physical body upon contact.What kind of treasures were Tier 9 immortal herbs and the Breath of Hongmeng? Even if Cen Shuyin was a real immortal instead of a low leveled cultivator, the Underworld Heart Flower could still easily fuse her soul and body together to revive her.Before two hours were up, Cen Shuyin opened her eyes and sat up. She could feel the intense changes to her spirit channels. Every spirit channel was filled with burning spirituality. While she had just woke up, she knew that her aptitude was nothing like it was previously. But before she could search for Mo Wuji, a even more shocking thing happened: new spirit channels began to open. 94, 95¡­This continued until 102 spirit channels appeared. There was no need to cultivate intentionally, and the surrounding immortal spirit energy gushed into her wildly, raising her cultivation level at an insane rate.The unguided immortal spirit energy filled her to the point of bursting, so she had no choice but to calm down and cultivate. Her cultivation technique was Typhoon Formula, which wasn¡¯t something any low level cultivation technique could compare to. Its speed of absorbing immortal spirit energy was unparalleled.Nihility God Stage, True God Stage, Worldly Immortal Stage¡­Lin Gu stared at Cen Shuyin in disbelief. She knew that Cen Shuyin¡¯s cultivation level was very low, but she didn¡¯t expect her to have such heaven defying talent. Being able to cultivate here was nothing surprising. After all, Cen Shuyin had absorbed the aura of the Underworld, so she could cultivate above the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond.What shocked Lin Gu the most was the rate that Cen Shuyin¡¯s cultivation level increased. In slightly over 10 days,she had reached the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal Stage.As long as one did not advance to Heavenly Immortal Stage, there would basically be no lightning tribulation in the Immortal World. Hence, lightning tribulation awaited Cen Shuyin if she continued to advance her cultivation level further."Elder Sister Shuyin, Brother Mo went into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond¡­" Lin Gu said with a sad tone as she saw Cen Shuyin stop cultivating.While Cen Shuyin could sense that Lin Gu¡¯s cultivation level was much higher than hers, she did not even find it unusual that Lin Gu had called her ¡®elder sister¡¯. The only thing on her mind was Mo Wuji charging into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond.It took a short few breaths of time for her to completely wake up, and she recalled that Wuji had slashed at the soul behind her as she charged out of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Afterwhich, he dove straight in.By now, while she was unsure why Mo Wuji could achieve all this, it was clear that her body was brought over by Mo Wuji, and the Underworld Heart Flowers were obtained by him to search for her soul.Without saying a single word, Cen Shuyin leapt up towards the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond through the floating array platform that Mo Wuji set up.Lin Gu was shocked, and quickly pulled her back with a large hand formed with immortal elemental energy. "Do you want to die? This is the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond that¡¯s linked to the Underworld. The yin energy inside is frightening, and now you have a physical body. You¡¯re no longer a soul, so once you go in, it¡¯ll be courting death." Lin Gu chided.Gazing upon the grey lake-like surface of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, Cen Shuyin mumbled to herself, "Wuji jumped into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond for me, where should I go now¡­"Lin Gu could understand that Cen Shuyin did not mean that she had no physical location to go to, but it reflected that her heart was empty, with nowhere to look towards. "Elder Sister Shuyin, in the past I did not understand why Brother Mo put his life on the line to save you, but now I do. But you also have to think for him. Do you know how difficult was it for him to rescue you? To obtain the Underworld Heart Flowers, he offended Heavenly Emperor Yifang. To come here, he gave up much more. It wouldn¡¯t be right if you took Brother Mo¡¯s efforts to save you lightly after he had just rescued you." Lin Gu said sincerely while looking at Cen Shuyin.These words stunned Cen Shuyin for a moment. She understood what Lin Gu was saying, but what was the point of it if Mo Wuji used his life to exchange for hers?Initially, she was willing to give up her life for Mo Wuji because she had recognised him as her husband. This was not only because he had seen her body in full glory at the Thorny Wind Gate, but more importantly as he was Rogue Cultivator 2705, the person that could have given up his life to save her.Her mother had told her in the past, if she met a person that could die for her, then she should marry him. If she also died for him when he was in danger, then it would be true love. This was why she ignited her vitality to rescue Mo Wuji, to save the person that had already become her husband in her heart.The scene before her soul crumbled remained crystal clear in her mind, as she told Mo Wuji, "...I¡¯ld really like to find out what it feels like to have a dao companion¡­" Her mother had said before, this was love. She had never thought that she could be revived and meet with Mo Wuji once more.It was a pity that their reunion lasted for mere breaths worth of time, before Mo Wuji swapped places with her. She went to the side of the living while Mo Wuji went to the Underworld. When, when could she and Mo Wuji both be alive, and become true dao companions? The two of them roaming the Immortal World side by side¡­Seeing Mo Wuji gazing into space, Lin Gu sighed and continued, "If you continue living and work hard on your cultivation, perhaps in the future you will be able to enter the Underworld to save Brother Mo. If you continue wasting away like you are now, then there¡¯s no chance of that happening at all.""But Wuji doesn¡¯t even have his physical body anymore." Cen Shuyin mumbled.Deep inside, Lin Gu knew that chances saving Mo Wuji was near zero. Without a physical body, there was no way to revive Mo Wuji even if they used 10,000 stalks of Underworld Heart Flowers. Thus she just sighed to herself, and ceased speaking.Unexpectedly, Cen Shuyin was the one who calmed down. She looked into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool and said, "Maybe I can enter the Underworld directly to bring back Wuji."She did not gain anything in the Underworld, but at least heard if rumors that a supremely strong person once tore through the dimension of the Underworld to take a soul away.Perhaps there would be one day that she could cultivate to this extent, then she would bring Mo Wuji¡¯s soul away.When she thought of this, Cen Shuyin became calm. She had to work harder on cultivation."Thank you elder for saving me. Did elder come here with Wuji?" Cen Shuyin knew that Lin Gu¡¯s cultivation level was many times greater than hers, so even though she did not know why Lin Gu referred to her as ¡®elder sister¡¯, she couldn¡¯t disrespect Lin Gu.With quick waves of her hand, Lin Gu replied, "My name is Lin Gu. I¡¯m friends with Mo Wuji. You are Brother Mo¡¯s¡­ so it¡¯s natural for me to call you elder sister."Lin Gu wasn¡¯t completely sure of Cen Shuyin¡¯s relationship with Mo Wuji, hence she could only mumble her way out of it.Seeing that Cen Shuyin still had things to say, Lin Gu stopped her, before continuing, "Let¡¯s not argue about titles and honorifics. You can just call me Lin Gu. The title ¡®elder¡¯ makes me feel like a stranger."Upon hearing that, Cen Shuyin didn¡¯t argue any further. She knew that many things had happened, so she sat down and asked, "Lin Gu, can you tell me what exactly happened here, to compel Wuji to come here to save me?"Regarding Mo Wuji¡¯s past, Lin Gu didn¡¯t know much. But for the incidents that occurred after Mo Wuji arrived at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, she had a rough idea of them. Without withholding anything, she recounted it all to Cen Shuyin, and at the end, she took out the page of the Book of Luo. While passing it to Cen Shuyin, she explained, "Brother Mo left this page of the Book of Luo before he left. Refine this first, then we should be able to leave this place and return to the Immortal World."The fame of the Book of Luo long preceded it, and Lin Gu was very touched that Mo Wuji would trust her enough to lend it to her. Which cultivator wouldn¡¯t eye the Book of Luo? She wasn¡¯t an exception either. But she valued her friendship with Mo Wuji even more. On top of that, there was the gratitude she felt towards him too. As someone willing to give away her life to him, what was a page of Book of Luo?That¡¯s right, the Book of Luo could help her bring Cen Shuyin out of the whirlpool. There was no doubt about it. What kind of thing was the Book of Luo? Chapter 569: A Foreign Place Chapter 569: A Foreign Place Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After some time, Mo Wuji awoke. However, he was being enveloped by the power of the Book of Luo. Even his spiritual eye couldn¡¯t penetrate outside, much less his spiritual will.As he felt the Book of Luo continuously travelling between worlds, Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. He closed his eyes and continued to try and recover his cultivation.Years passed, but Mo Wuji was still unable to absorb a single hint of immortal spiritual energy. At the same time, he couldn¡¯t use his spiritual will. Since he couldn¡¯t use his spiritual will, it meant that he wasn¡¯t able to open his storage ring and use his healing pills. Without pills and immortal spiritual energy to help him, his injuries were recovering at an extremely slow pace, making Mo Wuji feel rather helpless.However, Mo Wuji¡¯s mood was not bad. Even though he knew that the Book of Luo was bringing him out of the Immortal World due to the void tear, he didn¡¯t really mind. At least, he managed to accomplish his goal; when he fell into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, he saw Cen Shuyin¡¯s soul merging with her fleshly body.All this while, Cen Shuyin¡¯s demise was the shackle which caused him to be unable to forgive himself. During that time, if he burned his life force, perhaps he might have been able to bring Cen Shuyin away. This was because he had the Wind Escape Technique. Even though it could not compare to Cen Shuyin¡¯s Typhoon Formula at that time, it wasn¡¯t lacking by much.However, when he was surrounded, he only thought about killing to his heart¡¯s content. He never thought about igniting his life force to escape."Weng!" Waves of ear-splitting sound resounded loudly. Mo Wuji jolted; he knew that the Book of Luo was bringing him into another world at extreme speeds. Otherwise, he shouldn¡¯t have felt anything from the Book of Luo. Mo Wuji was also very clear that it wasn¡¯t because he hadn¡¯t completely refined the Book of Luo. Fortunately, this was the Book of Luo. If it was some other treasure, it would already have shattered into pieces.This buzzing sounds lasted for more than a month. Mo Wuji, who lost his cultivation, was unable to bear it, and he eventually fainted.¡­By the time Mo Wuji woke up, he didn¡¯t even know how much time had passed. He struggled up and immediately felt that the power of the Book of Luo had disappeared.Mo Wuji concentrated for some time, but he was still unable to gather his spiritual will; he could only conjure a small strand of spiritual will which revolved around his body. Even the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel had been depleted. That strand of spiritual will was unable to allow him to open his storage ring.However, there was one thing that Mo Wuji could confirm: he had landed on a continent. He could only bite his fingers, dripping blood on the Book of Luo, and forcefully use his willpower to get the Book of Luo to revert to its original size.A blinding beam of sunlight came shining down; Mo Wuji felt a great sensation of comfort throughout his body. At this point, he also realised that there wasn¡¯t a hint of immortal spiritual energy in his surroundings. Not only wasn¡¯t there immortal spiritual energy, there wasn¡¯t even a strand of ordinary spiritual energy.Could he have been transported to an ordinary mortal world?Mo Wuji hurriedly kept the Book of Luo close to him, before he stood up and started to scan his surroundings. He seemed to be standing within a wheat field that had already been harvested; some loose wheat straws were scattered about, and there were a few tiny birds pecking on scattered bits of wheat seeds.Even though he knew that he was being taken away from the Immortal World, when he witnessed this scene in front of him, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart still sunk. Not only did he get taken away from the Immortal World, the place that he was taken to was no where near to the cultivation world.Usually, such large scale wheat fields wouldn¡¯t be found in the cultivation world and the Immortal World.Whether it was cultivators or immortals, they fuel themselves with energy from the Heaven and Earth. Except for social gatherings, they would rarely eat wheats and grains. Even during those gatherings, they would eat food or fruits which contained large amounts of spiritual energy.Mo Wuji then turned towards himself; his clothes were torn and tattered, his skin had been corroded by the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond; there were scars throughout his body. It was a startling sight. Even his face had a terrifying scar and a trail of dried-up blood. He looked like he was a zombie that just climb out from a grave.Even so, Mo Wuji still heaved a sigh of relief. The fact that he could preserve his fleshly body was entire because of that page of the Book of Luo. Murong Xiangyu gave two pages of the Book of Luo to him, which was equivalent to saving his life. Even though he knew why Murong Xiangyu gave them to him, he still felt grateful towards her.Since he was still unable to retrieve the clothes from his storage ring, Mo Wuji could only head towards the nearby river and wash himself.Even though he knew that there wasn¡¯t any spiritual energy, Mo Wuji still sat down and tried to cultivate. However, the truth disappointed him; there truly wasn¡¯t a bit of spiritual energy here. As he cultivated, Mo Wuji felt some other form of energy. However, he wasn¡¯t able to discern exactly what that energy was.Mo Wuji stopped cultivating and carefully walked out of the wheat field. At the very least, he needed to find another person and ask that person about where he was.On a road not far away, a flashy sports car whizzed by. What left Mo Wuji shocked was that the sports car actually leaped over a slower car that was in front of it.Could he have returned to Earth? How many years had it been? Earth¡¯s technology had already advanced to such a level?It couldn¡¯t be so coincidental, right? He was just thinking about returning to Earth, and he really did?An old farmer, whose beard had already turned half white, walked over. Mo Wuji hurriedly went forward and bowed, "Senior, may I ask what place this is?"When the old man saw the staggering scars on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, his heart started pounding. He then began to size Mo Wuji up. After some time, some random noises came out of his mouth. However, Mo Wuji was unable to understand exactly what this old farmer was saying.Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk. Back on Earth, he was an esteemed academic; he was adept with many different languages. Because he would go to all sorts of remote places in search of rare herbs, he even knew of the different African dialects. However, he didn¡¯t understand a single word that this old farmer was uttering.There was only one possibility: this place wasn¡¯t Earth.The old farmer noticed that even after he spoke for a long time, Mo Wuji¡¯s face still remained blank. He then pointed to a direction, and another random bits of ¡®Gula¡¯ noises came out of his mouth.Mo Wuji could only clasp his fists in gratitude, then walked in the direction that the old farmer pointed to.Half a day passed. The number of people Mo Wuji encountered gradually increased. Many of them were carrying mobile phones and there were many different kinds of cars. This led Mo Wuji to once again believe that he had returned back to Earth.However, the language which he didn¡¯t understand a single bit of brought him back to reality.Mo Wuji¡¯s appearance looked rather frightening. Not only did he have scars throughout his body, he was also wearing ancient looking robes. Wherever Mo Wuji walked, passers-by would subconsciously avoid him.Mo Wuji did not mind. He began to have a rough understanding of the situation; this place seemed to have some sort of order. At least until now, he did not see any startling or sudden incidents.Now that he had landed in a place like this, Mo Wuji gradually formulated a plan. Firstly, he would need to learn the language here. Secondly, he would need to find out exactly where he was. Lastly, he needed to recover his powers.Only by doing this, would he have a chance of leaving this weird place. This place did not have any spiritual energy, so sticking around in the wilderness wasn¡¯t going to recover his power. He could only follow these people to the city and gather more information.After walking for another 10 minutes, Mo Wuji found himself in front of a bus stop. Seeing the crowd board the bus, Mo Wuji climbed on too.Because he didn¡¯t have a ticket, Mo Wuji intended to freeload. Thus, he didn¡¯t occupy a seat, but went to the steps at the back and sat down.The quality and class of this bus was much better than that on Earth. What left Mo Wuji surprised was that no ticket attendant came to him.Mo Wuji had scars throughout his body, but because of his honest appearance, no one avoided him this time. Of course, no one came to talk to him either.After waiting for approximately 10 minutes, the bus started to move.The moment the bus left the bus stop, a man with a simple moustache came to Mo Wuji and uttered some random gibberish.Mo Wuji saw the ticket presser in the man¡¯s hands and immediately knew that this man was the ticket attendant.Mo Wuji felt rather helpless. He was already sitting on the steps but this ticket attendant still came to him. From the looks of it, this fella knew that he didn¡¯t have the money to pay for the ticket.Mo Wuji apologetically spread open his palms. The meaning behind his actions were very obvious: he had no money.The ticket attendant clearly understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s actions. He instantly frowned and uttered some noises, then he pointed outside the bus.Mo Wuji knew that this ticket attendant was asking him to get out. At this instant, the bus had stopped and the door opened. Mo Wuji sighed, but he could only stand up. This person was bent on collecting his ticket fare, so what could he do? What didn¡¯t the people here have sympathy? I already look like I¡¯m in dire straits, and I¡¯m not even sitting on the seats. You wouldn¡¯t die if you didn¡¯t collect one less fare from me.Even though he thought of this, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a shameless person. He slowly stood up, picked up the dirty wooden stick that he found from the wheat field, and prepared to get off the bus.Even though it would take a longer time, he only needed to follow along this road and he would eventually get to the city.Just at this instant, a thin boy stood up. He blocked Mo Wuji. At the same time, he took out some wrinkled notes and passed them to the ticket attendant, and said some words to the attendant.Even though there was a look of annoyance in the attendant¡¯s eyes, since someone had came forward to buy Mo Wuji a ticket, he could only drop it.Mo Wuji also knew that this little boy had helped him purchase a ticket. He hurriedly clasped his fists and thanked the boy. The boy didn¡¯t understand his words, but he knew that Mo Wuji was thanking him. The boy smiled and waved his hands, then pointed towards his seat.Mo Wuji, however, didn¡¯t go to the seat; he continued to sit on the steps at the back.Seemingly noticing that Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude was not bad, the surrounding people began to size Mo Wuji up. It was just that Mo Wuji¡¯s wretched appearance didn¡¯t give them much to see.An hour later, the bus stopped at a bigger bus stop. At the entrance of this bus stop, Mo Wuji saw a busy street filled with people. He knew that he had truly came to a planet that was similar to Earth.This wasn¡¯t a cultivation planet. Instead, it was a place with rather advanced technology.Even though he was a Xuan Immortal, Mo Wuji truly felt lonely here. This was a foreign city; he had no friends nor family here. Chapter 570: An Jing Academy Chapter 570: An Jing Academy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In the cultivation world, when there was a difference in language, one only needed to purchase a language jade letter and he could learn all about that language in a few breaths. However, that was impossible here. This should be an ordinary planet that didn¡¯t have anything like spiritual will jade letters. Mo Wuji decided that he would first find a place with books and learn the languages and texts here. Even though he lost all his abilities, he was still a Xuan Immortal. Not eating and drinking shouldn¡¯t pose a problem to him. Right at this moment, a clamoring noise could be heard in front of him. Mo Wuji hurriedly moved towards the noise and to his astonishment, he saw a woman in ragged clothing being dragged on the road by a car. The woman had already fainted, and because of the rough surface of the road, there were scars continuously being formed on her body. She looked no better than Mo Wuji. "E E¡­[1]" A sharp voice cried out behind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji turned and saw a thin figure furiously charging to the car that was dragging the woman. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that it was the little boy that bought him the bus ticket. Mo Wuji hurriedly took a few steps forward. However, he couldn¡¯t even help himself now, much less help others. At his instant, that little boy had already grabbed the rope that was dragging the woman. Fortunately, the car stopped. A man with an indifferent expression stepped out from the car. Following which, a few soldiers came forward. The little boy remained fearless, bawling as he shouted towards the man and the soldiers.. Thereafter, he turned towards the crowd and said something loudly. The crowd then seemed to support this boy. After some time, a man that looked like a squad leader walked over and said a few sentences to the soldiers surrounding the little boy. Thereafter, the soldiers actually removed the woman from the ropes. The little boy hurriedly tried to support the woman up, but unfortunately, he was too weak and wasn¡¯t able to do it immediately. Mo Wuji wanted to go forward and help, but by this time, two people from the crowd had already helped the little boy and brought the woman to the side of the road. Only at this time did Mo Wuji get a clear look at the woman: her eyes were closed tight, there were spots of blood all over her face, her hair was messied and there were rope marks all over her neck. With the support of several people from the crowd, the boy supported the woman out of the road. After some time, they disappeared. At this point, Mo Wuji felt rather worried. He didn¡¯t know why that woman was being dragged on the road, but regardless of the reason, it wasn¡¯t a good sign. This place definitely wasn¡¯t a kind place. It was best if he understood where he was immediately. Mo Wuji roamed around the streets for some time before finally discovering a book store. The book store was not much different from book stores back on Earth. There were many people picking up books and reading them. Mo Wuji hurriedly entered walked in. He tried his best to conceal himself among the crowd, to avoid the notice of the workers here. After all, with his current appearance, if the manager of the book store were to see him, he would very likely get chased out. Mo Wuji soon discovered the book shelves that contained books on the language here. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will wasn¡¯t enough to open his storage ring or his Undying World, he did have a bit of spiritual will. Moreover, he was also a Xuan Immortal. With the help of these books, he only needed half a day to have a good grasp of the language here. Thereafter, things became simpler. Mo Wuji started to flip through the maps as well as history books. A rough image of this world formed within his mind. He was currently in a country called Liang, and Liang wasn¡¯t the biggest power here. Above Liang, there was a religious school called the East Mon Religion. It also had another name called the True Mon Religion. This city he was in was called An Jin, it was a decent sized city in Liang. Additionally, Mo Wuji found various kinds of technological devices in this book store, such as electronic books, intelligent notebooks, books that could speak, etc¡­. What left Mo Wuji surprised was that he found some books about cultivation the mind. Even though these books seemed to have unintelligible content, it was enough to show that the people here cultivated. This left Mo Wuji elated; if they could cultivate, it meant that they could absorb spiritual energy. As an immortal, spiritual energy was dispensable to Mo Wuji. But now, it was the most important thing to him. He needed to recover his power, so first, he would need to recover his spiritual will. Then, with his spiritual will, he could open his ring and use the things inside to regain his power. "The book store is closing. Everyone, please return your books and leave the book store." A loudspeaker sounded beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. Mo Wuji only just realised that except for one to two other people, most of the people in the book store were already gone. He hurriedly returned the book in his hands and walked out of the book store. To him, this day¡¯s worth of reading was enough. He wasn¡¯t seeking to learn about the things in this world, he only needed a rough understanding. A young girl walked out of the book store at the same time as Mo Wuji. When she lifted her head and saw Mo Wuji, she subconsciously hastened her footsteps. Mo Wuji, on the other hand, stopped, and said apologetically, "Hello, may I ask how I may get to An Jing Academy?" Mo Wuji learnt about An Jing Academy from the book store. Many of the books in the store were compiled by An Jing Academy. It was an integrative academy where one could learn about technology, as well as cultivation. Mo Wuji asked about An Jing Academy because he wanted to see if the cultivation in this world was the same as the one he knew. He also wanted to see if there were places in An Jing Academy which had spiritual energy. "You wish to go to An Jing Academy?" Even though the young girl didn¡¯t immediately run away, she took two steps back and stared at Mo Wuji warily. Mo Wuji finally got a clear look of this young girl. She was delicate and pretty, with long jet black hair, clear black pupils and a elegant nose bridge. It was an Eastern kind of beauty. She was roughly 1.65 meters tall and she looked very serene. Her only flaw was that her chest was like a chopping board; she did not look like a young girl in her prime. So as not to scare this girl, Mo Wuji took the initiative to take half a step back before he continued, "Yes, I wish to go to An Jing Academy. Can you please point the directions for me?" Seeing Mo Wuji take half a step back, the young girl calmed down. Mo Wuji¡¯s full body of scars did not look as scary as she previously thought it to be. She hesitated for a brief moment before she said, "I¡¯m a student at An Jing Academy. I¡¯m going back right now, you can follow me." The moment she finished those words, she regretted it. Why did she allow this stranger to follow her? What if this person had malicious intents, what could she do? What kind of person was Mo Wuji? He was an experienced man. He immediately caught the pangs of regret the girl felt after she replied him. He did not give her a chance to retract on her words as he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Then, many thanks." He was worried that An Jing Academy was too far away. Even if this young girl pointed out the directions, he might still get lost. After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the young girl hastily turned and walked away. She didn¡¯t even give Mo Wuji any prior warning. Mo Wuji did not mind as he followed behind this girl. He maintained a constant distance of 3 meters away from her. Soon, Mo Wuji knew that he was right; An Jing Academy was indeed far away, and he would need to go round several streets and even leave the busy town area. If he was by himself, he wouldn¡¯t know how long he would have took to get there. ¡­ Lou Yueshuang was truly feeling regret. She should not have stayed in the city book store till late. The academy had so many books, why must she go to the city book store? And if that wasn¡¯t enough, why did she allow this scary looking man to follow her? She intentionally increased her speed, but she soon discovered that no matter how fast she walked, that scarred man would always be 3 meters away from her. After leaving the town area, the number of people on the streets became lesser. There were also fewer street lamps. Lou Yueshuang no longer dared to turn her head back. Her ears constantly heard the sound of footsteps behind her. She continued to hasten her footsteps. What left her slightly at ease was that the man behind her didn¡¯t close the gap after they left the busy town area. After another long, half an incense¡¯s time, a brightly lit area appeared in front of them. Lou Yueshuang finally heaved a sigh of relief. She stopped and turned to Mo Wuji, "The brightly lit area in front is An Jing Academy. I will be leaving first." With that, she didn¡¯t even wait to receive Mo Wuji¡¯s thanks, as she left with hasty footsteps. It even seemed like she was running away. Mo Wuji could only say thanks from a distance. Mo Wuji¡¯s mood didn¡¯t improve because he arrived at An Jing Academy. On the contrary, his mood got worse. Here, he didn¡¯t feel any sort of spiritual energy. Without spiritual energy, this academy was no use to him. At this instant, he could only enter the academy with a strand of hope that there was some sort of spirit gathering array inside. Otherwise, what were the students here cultivating? Just when Mo Wuji was pondering over these matters, the girl that ran away actually came back. With a face full of fear, she cried out anxiously towards Mo Wuji, "This big brother, someone is trying to grab me, please help me¡­" After saying these words, she seemed to come to an understanding: there was nothing that Mo Wuji could help her with. Just when she intended to continue running, Mo Wuji suddenly pulled her to his side. At the same time, he scattered some rocks and sticks around their surroundings. "Don¡¯t move, they¡¯re coming." In the concealment array, Mo Wuji could feel Lou Yueshuang struggling. He hurriedly hushed her with that sentence. Under the yellow street lights, Lou Yueshuang could see multiple young men enter into her sights. She started to shiver; she knew that she couldn¡¯t escape now. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s concealment array had already been fully installed. He was an esteemed Xuan Immortal expert that could install Grade 5 immortal arrays. Even though he didn¡¯t have his cultivation, his skill with arrays was still there. Even though he didn¡¯t have his array flags, he could still use rocks and twigs to create a concealment array. It was impossible for this array to hide from powerful cultivators, but it was more than enough to deal with ordinary mortals. [1] Some indiscernible language that Mo Wuji hadn''t learnt yet Chapter 571: Mo Wujis Pointers Chapter 571: Mo Wuji''s Pointers Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations What left Lou Yueshuang shocked was that these men that were chasing after her actually sped past her. She was clearly in plain view but they did not seem to react to her at all. After another ten breaths of time, those men were already in the distance, clearly worried that she had escaped. "You know of the Enigmatic Art of Escape?" Lou Yueshuang stared at the scarred Mo Wuji in astonishment, her voice was slightly agitated. She personally witnessed Mo Wuji scattering some stones and twigs to install something, and because of that, those men that were chasing her could no longer see her. Enigmatic Art of Escape? Mo Wuji thought of the Enigmatic Art of Invisibility back on Earth; these two things really sounded the same. But in reality, what he did was install a concealment array. There was no spiritual energy powering this array, so it would be useless against slightly powerful cultivators. His array merely made use of the the various positioning of the stones and twigs to misdirection the men¡¯s sights. In other words, it was merely a diversionary technique. The Enigmatic Art of Invisibility was actually similar to a diversionary technique, but it was at a slightly higher grade. Chinese history is filled with wonders. During the ancient times, a few impressive strategists made use of the Enigmatic Art of Invisibility to deal with their enemies. These included Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, etc. But when the truth of the matter was revealed, this Enigmatic Art wasn''t some daoist magic, but diversionary techniques. The Enigmatic Art of Escape mentioned by Lou Yueshuang should be similar to the Engimatic Art of Invisibility. Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, I merely used a little diversionary technique. It''s just a parlor trick that I managed to learn in my free time, it''s not worth mentioning. I think it''s best if you hurry and return before those guys return. Otherwise, it would be troublesome." "Many thanks big brother. I''m called Lou Yueshuang, I''m an intermediate class mana cultivation student at An Jing Academy." Lou Yueshuang was sure that Mo Wuji wasn''t a simple person. She immediately bowed and expressed her thanks. Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, "How do you cultivate mana? Do you absorb the elemental energy from your surroundings?" When Lou Yueshuang heard that Mo Wuji didn''t even know about mana cultivation, she started to believe in Mo Wuji''s previous words. He really might have picked up on the Enigmatic Art unintentionally. She explained, "I''m also not sure. I''m only in the intermediate class. Only students in the advanced class can feel the mana from the Heaven and Earth and cultivate it." "Advanced students can feel mana at any time and at any place?" Mo Wuji spoke really quickly and in an urgent manner. Lou Yueshuang shook her head, "Perhaps some geniuses can. However, a majority of them can only feel the mana in a mana array installed by a mana array master. Alternatively, they could also use mana stones¡­" As she got to this point, Lou Yueshuang looked hesitantly in the direction that those men disappeared from. She knew that she shouldn''t speak to Mo Wuji any further, and that it would be best for her to leave immediately. Mo Wuji noticed this and said, "You should head back first. Oh right, is there any way I can enter An Jing Academy?" Lou Yueshuang gritted her teeth, and after a few breaths time, she said, "I can bring you in. Follow me." When Mo Wuji heard those words, he didn''t ask any further as he hurriedly followed Lou Yueshuang. He really wanted to know if those mana stones were spirit stones. And if those mana arrays were spirit gathering arrays. There were six security guards at the entrance of the Academy. Lou Yueshuang brought out a wood token and showed it to the guards. Then she pointed towards Mo Wuji and said, "This is my personal bodyguard." The security guards immediately opened the gates. They didn''t even ask any questions. However, as Mo Wuji followed Lou Yueshuang in, he clearly noticed expressions of shock among two of the guards when Lou Yueshuang appeared. Ostensibly, they didn''t expect Lou Yueshuang to arrive back safely. One look at their expressions and Mo Wuji could easily tell that those two fellas were informants for those guys that were chasing Lou Yueshuang. "Lou Yueshuang, those guards seem to those guys¡¯ informants," Mo Wuji whispered softly. Lou Yueshuang nodded, "I know. Actually, as long as I make it back to the entrance of the Academy, even if they have informants, those people wouldn''t dare to do anything to me. They know that I left the Academy today, which was why they were waiting outside the entrance." As the two spoke, they already entered An Jing Academy. Lou Yueshuang¡¯s footsteps were slow. Mo Wuji guessed that she still didn¡¯t know where she could house him. Mo Wuji knew very clearly, if he wanted to enter that array, or obtain that mana stone, he would need to befriend Lou Yueshuang. Thus, the moment they entered An Jing Academy, Mo Wuji said, "My name is Mo Wuji. My greatest wish is to be able to see a mana stone, or to experience a mana array installed by mana array masters." "Brother Mo, I know that you''re interested in this area. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have learnt the Enigmatic Art of Escape. However, if you want to study in An Jing Academy, it would be quite hard¡­" As she said this, Lou Yueshuang paused for a brief moment, then she continued, "I do have an idea. Not long later, there will be an assessment for the advanced mana cultivation class. If I work hard, I might be able to enter. Every advanced student can bring a personal guard into the mana array for personal protection. By that time, he can be my bodyguard. It''s just that it will do you injustice." Why would Mo Wuji care about injustice and a fake role? He just needed to recover a bit of his spiritual will, then he would easily be able to leave this planet. "It won''t, it won''t. I''m willing to do that," Mo Wuji said, "but how long will it take for you to enter the advanced class?" "I intend to take the advanced assessment half a year later. I believe that I should be able to succeed," Lou Yueshuang said resolutely. Half a year? Mo Wuji was slightly dumbfounded. If he had to stay in this planet for half a year, he might as well go elsewhere and search for other opportunities. He definitely wouldn''t wait here for half a year. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji said with a tinge of unwillingness, "Is half a year the shortest time? Can it be even shorter?" Lou Yueshuang answered awkwardly, "There is an assessment three days later, but I''m sure that I will fail so I won''t be going for it." Mo Wuji frowned and went into deep thought. After some time, he asked, "Then can you let me see your cultivation manual?" Lou Yueshuang was placed in an uncomfortable position and she shook her head, "Brother Mo, it''s not that I don''t want to lend it to you, but when I entered the school, I had to sign an agreement. I can''t casually lend the school''s mana cultivation manuals to anyone¡­" "Since that''s the case, is there anything you don''t know? Why don''t you try asking me?" Mo Wuji suddenly thought that he had created his own cultivation technique from nothing; he didn''t even have spiritual roots but he managed to open 108 meridians. He didn''t believe that he wasn''t able to help Lou Yueshuang and bring her to the advanced class. Lou Yueshuang hesitated for some time before she finally said, "Brother Mo, I¡­ this¡­" It wasn''t that she was contemplating about a question to ask. Mo Wuji didn''t even know about mana cultivation, so how was he going to solve her doubts? Isn''t he scamming her right now? "You can try asking a simple question first. If I''m unable to even answer that, then you don''t need to ask any further," Mo Wuji said. He had seen some books on cultivation back in the book store; the contents recorded inside were all over the place and he wasn''t even able to make sense of them. But after hearing Lou Yueshuang''s words, he started to form a faint understanding of what he read. Mana was very likely an inferior form of spiritual energy; this sort of spiritual energy was different from the one back in the cultivation world, which was why he wasn''t able to feel it. As a result, he didn''t understand those things that he read about. But if he were to get his hands on a low grade mana absorption manual, he might grudgingly be able to get by. The reason why it was "grudgingly", was because these methods were were simply inferior to the point where it would force people to bite their fingernails in anger. Cultivation was so simple, but they purposely wanted to take their pants off before they fart. No, that''s not the right analogy. It should be: they took their pants off, waited for a few hours, then they farted. "Alright then. When I''m cultivating mana, when the energy is moving towards my dantian, some of the mana disperses, and what I''m absorbing is merely useless impurities¡­" Before Lou Yueshuang could finish, Mo Wuji said, "That''s simple. To condense elemental energy, you would need to compress the energy first, before cultivating it. The reason why you''re unable to resonate with the spiritual energy¡­ No. The reason why you are unable to resonate with mana is because you didn''t compress it. You can try using the extreme meridian¡­ oh, the extreme spirit channel to absorb the energy, then through the cyclic wood spirit¡­" "Wait, Brother Mo, what''s the extreme spirit channel¡­" Lou Yueshuang interrupted Mo Wuji''s words. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows. He guessed that Lou Yueshuang hadn''t even opened a single spirit channel yet, or worse, she might not even have opened her spirits. He hesitated for a moment, but he still pointed to a position at the bottom of Lou Yueshuang''s throat and said, "This is the entrance of the extreme spirit channel. If you haven''t opened your extreme spirit channel, I can help you. But try it out first, see whether you are able to feel mana from that point." Lou Yueshuang did not hesitate to follow according to Mo Wuji''s instructions. In merely a few tens of breaths, she stared at Mo Wuji in pleasant surprise and said, "Brother Mo, I''m able to easily to dissociate mana. Where''s that cyclic wood spirit channel¡­" Lou Yueshuang''s voice didn''t only contain the emotions of pleasant surprise; it even contained a hint of excitement and anticipation. Mo Wuji only taught Lou Yueshuang the method that ordinary cultivators used, it wasn''t really anything much. Even when cultivators cultivate, the spiritual energy that they absorb would contain impurities. These impurities need to be removed in the extreme spirit channel, then compressed in the cyclic channel. Different spiritual roots would result in different cyclic channels. What Mo Wuji didn''t expect was that Lou Yueshuang was actually able to dissociate mana even though she hadn''t opened her spirit channels. Soon, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. He hurriedly asked, "Lou Yueshuang, before you started cultivating mana, was there some sort of spirit opening or anything similar?" Lou Yueshuang nodded eagerly, "Yes, all students that enter An Jing Academy''s mana cultivation class would need to go through an opening of the mana roots. Only students with mana roots can cultivate mana. Many people are unable to open their mana roots, so they aren''t able to cultivate." So it was truly like that. Since that''s the case, Mo Wuji was confident that he could send Lou Yueshuang into the advanced class. The only thing that left Mo Wuji worried was that the mana here didn''t contain any spiritual energy. Because he had tried cultivating previously; he didn''t feel any sort of spiritual energy, just some unfamiliar energy. Chapter 572: Descendants Of The Pan Clan Chapter 572: Descendants Of The Pan Clan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was slightly perturbed as he taught Lou Yueshuang of the circulation path; Lou Yueshuang''s talent was clearly not bad. Mo Wuji only taught her once and she was already able to do it. In her excitement, Lou Yueshuang was almost out of breath. She hurriedly stopped cultivating mana and looked at Mo Wuji excitedly, "Brother Mo, I''m not in the advanced class yet, but I''m actually able to resonate with mana¡­" Lou Yueshuang suddenly stopped speaking; she seemed to have thought of something. She then continued speaking with greater excitement, "Brother Mo, if we were to teach others of your method, then wouldn''t everyone be able to feel mana in the shortest time possible and be able to cultivate mana?" As she thought of this, Lou Yueshuang became especially clear that what she just learnt was incredibly impressive. It was simply a revolutionary discovery. If this was shared with everyone, then¡­ Mo Wuji nodded, "That should be the case. Some things are as thin as a piece of paper, the moment that paper is pierced open, you will realise that it was actually very easy. Now that you can feel mana, can you take the assessment for the advanced class?" Lou Yueshuang eagerly said, "As long as I can feel mana, then I will definitely get into the advanced class." "That''s good. After you enter the advanced class, think of ways to get me to a mana array," Mo Wuji said. "That''s for sure. The assessment to advance to the advanced class will be three days later. Oh right, Brother Mo, can I teach this method to others?" Lou Yueshuang looked towards Mo Wuji expectantly. The moment she revealed this method, this would cause a huge upheaval in the entire world. Mo Wuji went silent for a brief moment before he asked, "What''s the highest level that one can get by cultivating mana?" "I heard that the highest level is the Magic Emperor, but that''s only stories of legend. It''s said that Magic Emperors can traverse across the sky and burrow into the earth. With a flip of his hand, he can create fire or form winds. Truly a legendary existence¡­" Lou Yueshuang faced upwards as she said this excitedly. Mo Wuji was speechless. Traversing the sky and burrowing into the earth? Weren''t ordinary cultivators capable of doing that? Creating fire and forming winds? Even the lowest level cultivator could use a simple fireball skill. As he heard this, he no longer had any interest in the mana cultivation here. He said in a straightforward manner, "Actually, I didn''t teach you anything that''s particularly important. You can feel free to share it with others." In reality, Mo Wuji had only taught Lou Yueshuang a simple energy condensing method. This method was different for different people; not everyone could gather mana in the same cyclic wood spirit channel as Lou Yueshuang. Mo Wuji was, after all, the great progenitor of the reverse Immortal Mortal Technique. His Immortal Mortal Technique was already completely different from the original Immortal Mortal Technique. He was also especially sensitive to elemental energy, thus even without his cultivation, he could still feel that Lou Yueshuang had wood-type spiritual roots. It was exactly because of her wood type spiritual roots that he asked Lou Yueshuang to start gathering mana from her extreme spirit channel, then channel it away from the cyclic wood spirit channel. It wouldn''t necessarily be the same for other cultivators. Moreover, condensing mana was just the first step of a billion steps in cultivation. There''s still a whole great journey ahead of her, and in that journey, one would need to continuously improve upon their methods. Everyone''s methods would eventually differ, so while Mo Wuji helped Lou Yueshuang with this cultivation technique, it would not work for every single person. "That means I can share this with others, and be the creator of a new generation¡­" Lou Yueshuang started to get emotional. Actually, the creator of the new generation was Mo Wuji, she was simply a test subject, but being the first test subject was also an honor. Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "Actually, I wouldn''t advise you to do that. It''s not because this thing is very valuable, because it''s not worth any money at all. But because not everyone will be the same as you and use this method to feel mana and absorb it for cultivation. Moreover, you talked about Magic Emperors previously. Do you think that Magic Emperors don''t know how to absorb mana? Since they know how to do it, then why didn''t they share that method? For one, they might be protecting their secret and they aren''t willing to share it with others. Another possible reason would be that their methods are similar to what I taught you: the methods are specific to themselves. That''s why, it''s better for you to say that you managed to feel mana by randomly trying different methods. That would be more suitable." Mo Wuji was far more experienced that Lou Yueshuang; he was all too clear about the greed of human beings. If you only had a bowl of rice and you shared half of it to another person, some people would think that you had a whole warehouse of rice that you didn''t share with them. "Many thanks Brother Mo, I understand. Can I acknowledge you as my teacher?" Lou Yueshuang was already sure that Mo Wuji definitely didn''t learn some of the Enigmatic Arts of Escape by chance; he was definitely an expert. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "I don''t have the qualifications to teach others, nor will I accept disciples. Moreover, I would be leaving this place very soon. Of course, when I''m here, you can feel free to ask me any questions related to cultivation." Mo Wuji wasn''t bragging when he said the final sentence. He was the progenitor of his own cultivation technique, even if a Grand Luo Immortal asked him a question, he was confident that he would be able to answer it. Much less a Lou Yueshuang who had yet to even cultivate. "En, many thanks Brother Mo. In An Jing Academy, those without an identity token aren''t allowed to roam around freely. How about Brother Mo stay with me." At this instant, Lou Yueshuang wasn''t worried about Mo Wuji staying with her, but Mo Wuji leaving her. "What kind of place are you staying at?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Lou Yueshuang explained, "When I entered the school, I was the first place in the assessment. So, I got a room of my own, and that room can be divided." "Ok." Mo Wuji immediately agreed to Lou Yueshuang''s suggestion. If Lou Yueshuang successfully entered the advanced class, he would only stay here for at most half a month. In this half a month, he would try to find ways to open his storage ring or his Undying World, then find ways to leave this planet. ¡­ Lou Yueshuang''s living accommodations were not bad. Even though her building was slightly remote, her room wasn''t small. In the center of the room, there were some wooden planks. Even without Mo Wuji doing anything, Lou Yueshuang had already swiftly divided the room. Clearly, those wooden planks were specially there to divide the room. "Brother Mo, please rest. I will go handle my application for the advanced class assessment." After settling Mo Wuji in, Lou Yueshuang said impatiently. She was indeed rather impatient. Even though she said that she was slightly confident in getting into the advanced class half a year later, that confidence wasn''t very substantial. But with Mo Wuji''s pointers, she was sure that she would definitely advanced to the advanced class three days later. In An Jing Academy, there was no case where a person who could absorb mana was denied from entering the advanced class. "Ok. Oh right, I want to ask you a question. Previously, on the street, I saw a car dragging a woman along the road. That woman was riddled with injuries, and if not for her brother, she would have been dragged to death. What''s with that?" Mo Wuji thought of the scene that he witnessed previously. Lou Yueshuang spoke in a hushed voice, "I know of that woman you''re talking about. They are followers of an evil religious sect. It''s said that they practise witchcraft. The Holy Church has continuously been placing pressure on their clan, and now, it seems like the two siblings are the only people left of their clan. The older sister is called Pan Xin and the younger brother is called Pan Jie. According to rumors, Pan Jie caught the eye of a magic master, but after that magic master left, there was no longer any word from him. But it was because of this, when the Holy Church oppressed the two of them, they would still show some restrain in front of Pan Jie." "The two of them are surnamed Pan?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically. Lou Yueshuang spoke at an even softer voice as she answered, "Yes, I heard that the Pan Clan is very amazing. My grandfather once told me this in secret, that both the East Mon Religion and the West Mon Religion were started by branches of the Pan Clan. But now that the Pan Clan is in dire straits, the Holy Church actually said that the Pan Clan were cult followers." "There''s such a thing?" Mo Wuji was truly shocked. Lou Yueshuang nodded, "Brother Mo, these words are only for you to hear. You definitely can''t share them with anyone else." Seemingly unaware of what she was doing, Lou Yueshuang continued to speak in greater detail, "There was this time, when I found an old, derelict scroll that the Pan Clan used to be extremely strong, strong to the point where they could control space and all beings in creation. And, I even heard that the Pan Clan had an even more powerful ability, that is physique tempering¡­" "Physique tempering?" Mo Wuji exclaimed. He had always been looking for a physique tempering technique. Unfortunately, the ones he found in the Immortal World were seriously lacking; they were completely unable to catch his eye. And his Immortal Mortal Technique was not at the point of being a true physique tempering technique. Mo Wuji didn''t have any experience in this area, so he was truly unable to create his own technique. Now that he heard of the Pan Clan''s physique tempering technique, Mo Wuji subconsciously started to think of the witch race of myths. According the Classics of the Mountain and Sea, the witch race were the descendants of Pan Gu. When it comes to physique tempering, who could compare to Pan Gu? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji decided that the moment his cultivation recovers, he would go to find that pair of siblings. There was no need to talk about how Pan Jie had helped him previously and that he should help them in return, Mo Wuji also wanted to find out more about the physique tempering technique. "Yes, physique tempering. The Pan Clan has already been oppressed to such a degree but the Holy Church continues to oppress them, it''s exactly because the Holy Church suspects that the siblings are hiding the Pan Clan''s physique tempering technique," Lou Yueshuang explained. ¡­ Three days passed in a flash. At this instant, An Jing Academy''s Mana Cultivation Hall was filled to the brim with all sorts of students. This was because today was the assessment date for the advanced class. Usually, most of the students being assessed would be from the intermediate class. Occasionally, there would also be so elementary class students and some students from other schools. The assessment had yet to start but the name list for the assessment had already been pasted outside the school courtyard. "I''m not seeing things right? Lou Yueshuang actually registered for this advanced class assessment? Didn''t she just enter the intermediate class?" A girl cried out in surprise from the crowd. "Perhaps she doesn''t need to wait for three years like everybody else if she fails," Another girl snickered. "Ai, I heard that breast size is inversely proportional to IQ. Too bad for me, I''m just too stupid, I wonder when I can take the advanced class assessment," A girl said eccentrically. Just at this moment, Lou Yueshuang walked by. Her face was calm, as though she didn''t hear any of these girls discussing about her. She hated these flies, otherwise, she wouldn''t have gone to the city book store instead of the school library. Every time she went to the school library, she would hear these flies buzzing. Chapter 573: Assessment For The Advanced Class Chapter 573: Assessment For The Advanced Class Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The An Jing Academy¡¯s Mana Cultivation Hall was already fully filled with not only students but also teachers, some businessmen, reputable figures of the An Jin City and even some members of the imperial family. Most of the students came to observe the assessment while the teachers were here to look for students that they wanted. Just as how students must look for a good teacher, a teacher must search for good students too. Normally, students of the elementary and intermediate classes would not have their own exclusive teachers but once they reached the advanced class, they would be able to choose a teacher to be under. The quality of the teacher would affect the future achievements of the student. Similarly, the talent and ability of a student would affect the teacher¡¯s future performance. Teachers with better performance would not only get to pick even better students in the future, their pay would increase significantly too. As for those businessmen, they came for investments. The moment they spotted a good seedling, they would invest generously in the nurturing of the student they believed had potential. Members of the imperial family came for about the same reason as these businessmen. Because Lou Yueshuang was a student taking the assessment, she was able to sit in the front row. "Lou Yueshuang? What are you doing here?" The moment Lou Yueshuang sat down, a female student beside her asked with a surprised look on her face. In terms of looks, this woman was much prettier than Lou Yueshuang and in terms of figure, even if Lou Yueshuang were to ride a horse, Lou Yueshuang would never be able to catch up with her. Her chest was not considered extremely tempestuous but it was just the right size. As compared to Lou Yueshuang¡¯s chopping board-like chest, it was like heaven and earth. "Ah, I understand now. Are you here for the advanced class assessment?" The beautiful woman asked without waiting for Lou Yueshuang to answer. After saying that, she subconsciously looked at Lou Yueshuang¡¯s chest. Normally to other female students, Lou Yueshuang didn¡¯t bother about such trivial matters but in front of this female student, she was unable to remain emotionless. The female student in front of her was called Yun Mo, a person who surpassed her in both appearance and figure. More importantly, even her results were better than Lou Yueshuang. Both of them were first in their district and got into the An Jing Academy simultaneously. Bai Mo was indeed much smarter than her because if it wasn¡¯t for Mo Wuji¡¯s help, Lou Yueshuang wouldn¡¯t even be qualified to be taking the advanced class assessment at this moment. As for Yun Mo, she was evidently smart enough to take the assessment. "Yes, I am here to take the assessment," Lou Yueshuang calmed herself before answering in a gentle tone. "Don¡¯t tell me that you have a new way of condensing mana? We will be having the assessment later so once you fill up the numbers later, you can¡¯t back out as you wish," Yun Mo sighed at this moment before continuing, "Yueshuang, I know you are eager to do well in everything but you cannot force your way through everything." Lou Yueshuang didn¡¯t reply Yun Mo because she hated Yun Mo¡¯s almighty tone as she talked as if she was much more gifted than Lou Yueshuang since birth. "Pang Ha, I knew you were going to register and you are indeed here," Yun Mo didn¡¯t mind Lou Yueshuang¡¯s act of ignoring her as she shouted loudly at a youth who just walked through the entrance. "Yun Mo, you are even earlier than me. Eh Yueshuang, did you register for the advanced class assessment too?" A slightly tall man walked in and greeted the two of them with a clear voice even before he reached them. Lou Yueshuang answered with a low voice before lowering her head. In front of this youth, she had a sense of inferiority within her. Pang Ha, An Jing Academy number one genius. Not only was he the number one genius, he was also the number one handsome man. He had a natural handsome face and was always having a lazy smile on his face as if nothing in the world could ever bother him. This was also the truth because no matter how tough something was, the moment it reached Pang Ha¡¯s hands, it would be solved easily. This was not all because Pang Ha¡¯s family background was also extremely eye-catching. His clan was ranked as the top few in the country of Liang. Even outside of the country of Liang, there were businesses which belonged to his clan almost everywhere. In other words, he was true capable and powerful child of a wealthy family. In the An Jing Academy, there were girls everywhere who were secretly in love with Pang Ha. Lou Yueshuang was the same as she had an extremely good impression of Pang Ha. However, her love for Pang Ha was like all the other girls, hidden in the depth of her heart. If there was a person who could match up well with Pang Ha, that would only be Yun Mo. Yun Mo was also the number one in the An Jing Academy in terms of qualifications and appearance. "Yueshuang, did anyone say anything to make you do this? If you do not wish to take the advanced class assessment this time round, I can help you say something. This is nothing embarrassing because have you seen any students, who just made it into the intermediate class, take and pass the assessment for the advanced class? In the entire history of the An Jing Academy, the number of such cases are so rare I could count with one hand," Pang Ha was not only handsome as he even spoke with much empathy and understanding. Yun Mo added in, "That¡¯s right, I have already told her that the advanced class assessment is not something you can take in a hurry because it would affect what you achieve in the future. Ai, Yueshuang, how else must I explain to you? Not everyone can be like Pang Ha." As Yun Mo was saying this, Lou Yueshuang seemed to have forgotten that she entered the An Jing Academy the same time as Yun Mo. "Thank you but nobody forced me to do anything. I am not a child so I can make my own decision," Lou Yueshuang¡¯s sense of inferiority suddenly die down. As for Yun Mo¡¯s hypocritical words, Lou Yueshuang felt like vomiting when she heard them. She clearly recalled that in one of the mini test in the elementary class, her test result was much better than Yun Mo¡¯s. Afterwards, there were rumours of her cheating in the test and a few female students who were on closer ties with Yun Mo started to make fun and tease her chest as an excuse. At this moment, two men and one woman walked onto the examiner¡¯s podium. The three of them were wearing the teacher¡¯s robe while holding on to something in their hands. The Mana Cultivation Hall finally quietened down as everyone knew that the advanced class assessment was about to begin. The advanced class assessment had always been extremely harsh because normally out of the one or two thousand students who registered to take the assessment, less than 20 would be officially accepted. This meant that the acceptance rate was equivalent to only about 1%. Out of the three people who walked in, an elder wearing the teacher¡¯s robe came forward before clearing his throat and speaking in a clear voice, "Greetings my fellow teachers, students and friends from all over the country. I believe everyone here recognise me but I shall still introduce myself. I am Li Guangyi of the advanced class. The three examiners for the assessment today would be myself, Feng Jun and Shang Jinying. In the past, the advanced class assessment was only held once a year before recently changing to twice a year. The total number of students participating in the advanced class assessment this time round is 1934 and we are prepared to accept 20 students. The assessment content would be the same as previous years and the first would be genius selection. May I invite those students who can sense or even absorb mana to come on stage. Those who can pass the genius selection assessment would no longer need to take the second part of the assessment and would be sent straight to the advanced class. Naturally, there would be a lot of teachers looking for genius like this so you are free to choose your own teachers then. Without further ado, let¡¯s begin the genius selection assessment. Those who believed that they could pass the genius selection assessment please head onto the stage now." Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Pang Ha because during every advanced class assessment, there would at most be one person who could enter the genius selection assessment. Most of the time, there would not be anybody stepping onto the stage. In the test this time round, if there was one person who was the most likely to pass the genius selection, that would be Pang Ha. Pang Ha stood up, maintained his gentle smile as he walked to the stage. The first thing he did was to bow politely to the crowd in the hall before bowing respectfully to the three teachers in front of him, "An Jing Academy 3rd intermediate class student Pang Ha wishes to take the genius selection assessment." "Nothing wrong with the identity so permission granted for Pang Ha to take the genius selection assessment," After saying this, Li Guangyi pressed a white button on the judging panel before a futon of radius one metre rose from the centre of the stage. Beside the futon was a mini display screen. Li Guangyi pointed to the futon before saying, "Pang Ha, step onto the futon and start to condense your mana. After you are done, we will give you a score to determine if you are able to pass the assessment." "Yes, many thanks teacher Li," Pang Ha bowed once more before sitting on the futon in front of many eyes. The entire Mana Cultivation Hall was in absolute silence as they observed Pang Ha. Everyone was also well aware that there were three mana stones below the futon which Pang Ha was sitting on. As long as Pang Ha was able to absorb mana, the exhaustion of the mana stone would be displayed on the mini display screen beside him. This display screen was not some sort of array display screen but a real electronic display screen. In fact, this electronic display screen was able to simulate the exhaustion of the mana stone and display it live for the onlookers and teachers to observe. The instance Pang Ha sat on the futon, he started using his own methods to absorb mana. Everyone in the hall was quiet as they carefully observe the white display screen. One would not be able to tell if the mana was absorbed with the naked eye so everyone had to watch and observe the display screen. After one hour, the display screen was still white without any movement. Despite so, nobody in the hall was particularly worried because everyone knew that no matter how talented Pang Ha was, he should not be able to condense mana in just an hour. Only Lou Yueshuang sighed in her heart at how a genius like Pang Ha was unable to sense mana to condense it in an hour. This showed how amazing her mentor, Mo Wuji, truly was. Mo Wuji was not even much older than her so how could he be so incredible? One must know that she only took about 10 breaths of time to sense, condense and absorb mana when she was learning from Mo Wuji. Half an incense had passed and the white display screen finally showed some faint green coloured fog. The fog rose slowly as if it was solidifying in the air. These faint green fog caused a surge in the atmosphere in the entire hall as people started to cheer madly. It was indeed fun to watch the genius selection assessment to watch students like this start condensing mana even before entering the advanced class. How powerful would he be in the future? Chapter 574: Fighting for Lou Yueshuang Chapter 574: Fighting for Lou Yueshuang Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Pang Ha¡¯s arms started making strokes in the air and with every stroke, there would be more green fog appearing in the display screen. After an incense worth of time, the faint green fog had already filled up one third of the display screen before he finally stopped before opening his eyes and standing up. Afterwards, he bowed towards the three examiners, "I, Pang Ha, am done with the assessment hence, I am ready for the comments from the three teachers." Li Guangyi nodded, "Not bad, even though you are still unable to control or absorb mana, you are already able to condense it. You are only one step away from absorbing mana. My score for you is 66 points and you have passed the genius selection. I deem you fit to join the advanced class." The man seated beside Li Guangyi also commented, "Pang Ha is indeed the number one genius of my An Jing Academy. After entering the intermediate class for only about three months, you are already capable of condensing mana. Not bad, not bad at all. My score for you is 74 points and I deem you fit to enter the advanced class too." Pang Ha hurried to bow to the examiners as thunderous applause was heard from the crowd. Two examiners had already given their go ahead so even if the last examiner gave a bad score, he was still able to enter the advanced class. Seated at the bottom of the stage with everyone else, Yun Mo looked enviously at Pang Ha, "Only a talented man like Pang Ha would be able to enter the intermediate class for only three months, condense mana and even passed the genius selection assessment to join the advanced class. I must work hard too, to earn a placing in the advanced class." Even though Yun Mo didn¡¯t continue saying, Lou Yueshuang knew what was in her heart. Yun Mo didn¡¯t want to let Pang Ha surpassed her too much till the point that she didn¡¯t have the opportunity to catch up with him. This made Lou Yueshuang shake her head speechlessly. When Big Brother Mo Wuji was teaching her how to condense mana, he said that the moment mana was scattered and was even separated, it would be considered a failure in condensation because one wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb the mana in a form like this. If one were to absorb the mana forcefully, it would cause stagnation to one¡¯s progress and might even harm the spirit channels. She had no idea what the spirit channel was but she was certain that Big Brother Mo was right. The thin layer of mana Pang Ha managed to separate from the mana stones actually scattered which meant that Pang Ha was actually still very far from successfully condensing the mana. Only because Li Guangyi and Feng Jun didn¡¯t wish to have no students in the An Jing Academy passing the genius selection assessment so they made an exception to accept Pang Ha. Moreover, Big Brother Mo even said before that beginners must be calm and at peace when cultivating so that mana would be able to circulate effectively in the spirit channel. Pang Ha¡¯s ridiculous movement of the arms was a mere show off to show the crowd that he was able to condense mana. It was not beneficial in the condensation of mana and might even work against him. "Yueshuang, you seemed to be unsatisfied with Senior Pang Ha¡¯s results? Are you going to take part in the genius selection assessment too?" Lou Yueshuang¡¯s heart was indeed feeling slightly unsatisfied and Yun Mo noticed it in an instance from the expression on her face. Without waiting for Lou Yueshuang to reply, the female examiner out of the three examiners said, "It was indeed quite impressive seeing how Pang Ha was able to extract the mana from the mana stones. However, he was still quite far from being able to condense mana, let alone absorbing the mana. In other words, he could at most be considered to be able to sense the mana from Heaven and Earth. My score for him would be 42 points and I don¡¯t deem him fit enough to pass the genius selection assessment." The crowd started roaring again as everyone started having discussions of their own. Wasn¡¯t that Shang Jinying a little too strict? Despite this comment, Pang Ha was still respectful as he bowed towards Shang Jinying to express his appreciation for the comment. The truth was that regardless of Shang Jinying¡¯s score, it wouldn¡¯t affect his acceptance into the advanced class. Li Guangyi stood out to continue, "Following the guidelines of the assessment, Pang Ha passed the genius selection and would be accepted into the advanced class. Are there any more students who wants to try the genius selection assessment? If no one is interested, may I invite all the students¡­" Before Li Guangyi could finish speaking, Lou Yueshuang stood up. At the sight of Lou Yueshuang standing up, Li Guangyi stopped talking as he looked at Lou Yueshuang surprisingly. He couldn¡¯t believe there was still someone who wanted to take part in the genius selection assessment. Since this was the case, he had no choice but to let her try. Under normal circumstances, there were not many students willing to take the risk to take the genius selection assessment. Firstly, it was because the chances of success was extremely slim and secondly, points would be deducted from the next test if one were to try and fail the genius selection assessment. Lastly, people would start making fun of the failure. It was already impressive that Pang Ha was participating in the genius selection assessment. Therefore, nobody in the hall could believe that there was still someone willing to take the risk. Lou Yueshuang turned to Yun Mo and said, "You are right because I am indeed going to take part in the genius selection assessment." After saying that, Lou Yueshuang walked to the assessment stage as her heart felt much lighter at this moment. She finally managed to get back at the arrogant woman so even if she failed, she would feel much more comfortable. "An Jing Academy 4th intermediate class student Lou Yueshuang wishes to take the genius selection assessment," Lou Yueshuang bowed courteously towards the three examiners. "Nothing wrong with the identity so permission granted for Lou Yueshuang to take the genius selection assessment. Please proceed to the futon to condense mana and you have a time limit of two hours," As much as Li Guangyi was reluctant, he could only agree. From whichever angle one was looking at, Lou Yueshuang was not wrong to apply for her chance to take the genius selection assessment. To be honest, Li Guangyi was blatantly being unfair because when Pang Ha was condensing the mana, Li Guangyi didn¡¯t mention any time limit but now for Lou Yueshuang, he actually gave a time limit of two hours. Lou Yueshuang didn¡¯t say anything as she didn¡¯t bother about the time limit at all. If she needed two hours to condense mana, she wouldn¡¯t even be trying for the genius selection assessment. Lou Yueshuang sat on the futon and followed Mo Wuji¡¯s guidelines to circulate her channels to start absorbing mana. In just a few moments, everyone looked shockingly at the faint green fog appearing on the display screen. So fast? When this faint green fog appeared, everyone in the hall started gasping in amazement. Even though the onlookers today were all of certain status, they were still in awe at Lou Yueshuang¡¯s speed of condensing the mana. Even a Magic Master might not have such incredible speed right? Furthermore, this was not the end because after ten breaths worth of time, the entire display screen was fully filled. Li Guangyi wasn¡¯t the only one as the two other examiners took a few steps forward astonishingly. Even before reaching Lou Yueshuang, they could clearly feel the dense mana which Lou Yueshuang was extracting. Lou Yueshuang stopped extracting the mana as she knew that this was more than enough. Right now, she was indeed capable of absorbing the mana but without a proper technique, she wouldn¡¯t be able to convert the mana into her own strength even after absorbing it. She would only be wasting the mana stones if she continued. "I am taking this student¡­" A white haired elder got ahead of everyone as he rushed up to the stage. Even though he was quick, there were people quicker than him as a long hair woman literally jumped onto the stage before grabbing Lou Yueshuang¡¯s hand, "Your name is Lou Yueshuang right? I am Zhan Xiang of the An Jing Academy, are you willing to be my student? I have a technique to convert mana which is definitely suitable for you." Zhan Xiang was not speaking blindly because she really did have a mana conversion technique. However, the catch was that the technique required the technique user to absorb mana swiftly. In fact, even she couldn¡¯t absorb mana swiftly but after she observed Lou Yueshuang¡¯s speed, she knew instantly that this technique was meant for Lou Yueshuang. "Zhan Xiang, aren¡¯t we going according to first come first serve? I have already said I would accept her as my disciple," The white hair elder said furiously as his face was full of disgust. After this elder gave a piece of his mind to Zhan Xiang, he turned to Lou Yueshuang, "You recognise me right? You can make your own decision as to who you want to follow." Because the two of them were snatching for Lou Yueshuang in public, those businessmen and high officials who were interested in knowing Lou Yueshuang had no choice but to stop in their tracks. They would have to at least wait till Lou Yueshuang choose her teacher. Lou Yueshuang hurried to bow respectfully, "Lou Yueshuang greets Teacher Yan and Teacher Zhan." These two were both the peak grade teachers of the advanced class in the An Jing Academy and they would normally not accept any students. Even if Pang Qi wished to follow and learn under them, he might not even succeed. Now that the two of them were fighting for her, Lou Yueshuang still felt immensely fortunate even though she knew that they were not even half as good as Mo Wuji. Zhan Xiang looked at Lou Yueshuang and said, "Yueshuang, you should say it yourself. Who do you want to follow?" Lou Yueshuang thought about Mo Wuji¡¯s mysteriously effective teachings, she really didn¡¯t wish to pick either one of them. However, she knew that Mo Wuji was not willing to accept disciples and that he was eager to leave this place so she had no choice but to choose one first. "Both of you are teachers that I, Lou Yueshuang, truly admire and respect but, but¡­" After saying ¡®but¡¯ for half a day, she was still unable to pick one. Li Guangyi chuckled, "Why don¡¯t we do this? Since Student Lou Yueshuang is the best and most talented genius here, this shows that her potential is limitless. Why don¡¯t both of you accept her as your disciple and both teach her one skill each. We must not put such a talented genius in a difficult spot. For Lou Yueshuang¡¯s assessment, my points for her is 100 and that I deem her absolutely fitting to study in the advanced class without any dispute." "Yes, this is definitely worthy of a 100 points," Shang Jinying, who gave Pang Ha 42 points earlier on, said loudly as she didn¡¯t even bother about how Pang Ha felt. "Haha, I agree with both Teacher Li and Teacher Shang. It is naturally 100 points without any dispute," Feng Jun also added in cheerfully. In the future, an unbelievable talent like Lou Yueshuang would bound to be famous hence, the three examiners here would also receive great honour. Yan Keze heard Li Guangyi¡¯s words and clapped his hands, "Alright, this is a great idea. Both of us shall be her teacher then." Zhan Xiang was well aware of Lou Yueshuang¡¯s terrifying potential because with a potential like hers, it wouldn¡¯t be impossible for her to become a Magic Emperor. She saw Lou Yueshuang having a hard time picking so she nodded and said, "Yueshuang, what do you think of both Yan Keze and I becoming your teacher?" Lou Yueshuang hurried to bow, "Yueshuang is willing so may both teacher please guide me well in the future." Following which, Lou Yueshuang turned to express her appreciation for the three examiners. Yan Zeke chuckled and said, "I finally managed to get myself a disciple so I cannot do without a gift for you. Come, let me know what do you want." Lou Yueshuang replied without any shreds of hesitation, "Student would like to have a few mana stones to bring back for my own research." Chapter 575: The Mighty Archbishop Chapter 575: The Mighty Archbishop Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yan Keze was shocked because even though mana stones were precious, he wouldn¡¯t bring it around with him. However, Zhan Xiang was already handing an exquisite embroidered bag to Lou Yueshuang, "Yueshuang, my mentor has loads of this so these are for you." Yan Keze blinked his eye as he grabbed a book to pass it to Lou Yueshuang, "Yueshuang, even though I don¡¯t have any mana stones with me, I am giving this great book." "Teacher Yan, you are really giving this?" Li Guangyi stared surprisingly at the book Yan Keze was passing to Lou Yueshuang. Lou Yueshuang saw Li Guangyi¡¯s expression and knew that it must not be something simple which was why she hurried to reject, "Teacher Yan, I cannot accept this book¡­" "Since I want you to have it, you should have it¡­" Yan Keze shoved the book into Lou Yueshuang¡¯s hands before widening his eyes again. Zhan Xiang added, "Yueshuang, Teacher Yan is also your teacher now and since this is a gift from him, there is no harm for you to accept it. Go back and make your preparations while Teacher Yan and I discuss with the academy as to how to arrange your future practices and lessons. "Roger that, many thanks Teacher Yan and Teacher Zhan," Lou Yueshuang bowed respectfully once more before leaving the assessment stage. Lou Yueshuang was aware that all the other students still needed to take the next test but the moment she stepped down from the stage and left the front row, all the businessmen and reputable people rushed forward. Name cards fell like snowflakes on Lou Yueshuang¡¯s hands as words of congratulations and invitations were heard. Of course, there were also all sorts of guarantees to support or sponsor her. Eventually, because it was affecting the assessment afterwards, committees of the academy came out to disperse the crowd to let Lou Yueshuang leave the Mana Cultivation Hall. Once Lou Yueshuang left the Mana Cultivation Hall, even more businessmen flocked towards her and the Mana Cultivation Hall was emptied out. To most of the businessmen, no one else in the advanced class would have a future comparable to Lou Yueshuang. If they made an effort to know Lou Yueshuang now, they could be friends with a Magic Master or a Magic Emperor in the future. Yun Mo clenched her fists as she saw the popular Lou Yueshuang walking out of the Mana Cultivation Hall. The girl who she had been stepping on was actually able to bring away all the cheers and applause with her. At the thought of Lou Yueshuang standing on her head and the words she said before going on stage, she was so jealous that her heart was almost burning on kerosene. She must have learnt witchcraft to be able to condense mana so quickly. I¡¯ll see how you show off after the Archbishop found out about this. "I can¡¯t believe Sister Yueshuang actually had such deep understandings as to how to condense mana. This is simply unbelievable," Pang Ha exclaimed surprisingly. "Yes indeed, she really knew how to conceal herself just like her¡­" Yun Mo was about to say chest before forcing herself to swallow the words because she didn¡¯t want to leave a bad impression in front of Pang Ha. Pang Ha didn¡¯t seem to mind Yun Mo¡¯s words as he continued looking at Lou Yueshuang¡¯s back view. In his mind, it was the scene of how Lou Yueshuang managed to condense and absorb mana. If he could possess the ability of Lou Yueshuang coupled with the technique from his Pang Clan, he could advance to become a true mage immediately. The instance a thought like that appeared, it was like a seed which had just started germination before growing rapidly like a weed in his heart. ¡­ Lou Yueshuang had no idea how she managed to emerge out of the crowd and all she knew was that when she was back at her own residence, her hand was filled with all the different name cards. "Big Brother Mo¡­" When she reached back at her residence, Lou Yueshuang finally came back to her senses and realised that all the credits should go to the Big Brother Mo who was currently living in her residence. He was the sole reason why she was able to be called the number one genius of the academy. In other words, whoever learnt from Big Brother Mo would be a genius too. Ever since Lou Yueshuang opened the door, Mo Wuji had already heard her but he simply didn¡¯t wish to move. There was indeed a thin layer of energy here which was somewhat similar to spiritual energy. The pity was that he couldn¡¯t use it to cultivate. Mo Wuji observed magic cultivation before and was aware that magic cultivation used spiritual energy too and not magic energy. It is also not the mana used here. Now that Lou Yueshuang was calling out for him, he believed that she should have passed her assessment. Truthfully, it would be more odd if she didn¡¯t pass the assessment after teaching her how to condense mana. Mo Wuji walked out with a smile on his face, "Yueshuang, congratulations on becoming a student of the advanced class." Lou Yueshuang hurried to reply, "This was mainly because of the method Big Brother Mo taught me. I only needed a short time to pass the assessment today to become a student of the advanced class. After the assessment, Teacher Yan Keze and Teacher Zhan Xiang wanted to accept me as their student so I agreed. I know, my teacher should be you¡­" Mo Wuji shook his head, "You did the right thing because you should know that I would definitely not stay long here." "Big Brother Mo, I got you the mana stone¡­" Lou Yueshuang anxiously threw all the name cards on her hand away to one side as she took out the embroidered pouch from her waist. Mo Wuji was even more anxious than Lou Yueshuang as he took over the pouch and took out a grey colour mana stone. The instance Mo Wuji got his hand on the mana stone, his heart went wild. There was really a trace of spiritual energy in the mana stone and more importantly, there was a type of mana aura exuding from it too. This was not the first time Mo Wuji had experienced a mana aura but up till today, he had no idea what kind of energy this was. "Big Brother Mo, is this thing useful?" Lou Yueshuang asked worriedly. Mo Wuji held onto the pouch in one hand while grabbing Lou Yueshuang¡¯s hand in the other, "Useful, it is indeed too useful. I am going to go behind closed doors to cultivate¡­ No, I meant research for a few days so help me guard and make sure no one comes near me. Oh yes, if I am not out in time, there is no need to bring food to me because I have large amount of dry biscuits with me. I should be able to last for at least over 10 days." Even if Mo Wuji had no cultivation now, he wouldn¡¯t need to eat anything. Normally, Lou Yueshuang was afraid that he might be hungry so she would send food to him on a regular basis. In order not to make himself look suspicious, Mo Wuji accepted the food for the past few days. "En, Big Brother Mo can rest assure that I will definitely not let anyone disturb you," After saying this convincingly, she handed a book to Mo Wuji, "Big Brother Mo, this is a book from Teacher Yan and I think it should be a pretty useful book. Please take a look at it." "Alright," Mo Wuji accepted the book before hurrying to close his door. He was desperate to be able to open his storage ring as soon as possible and from the glance at the pouch earlier on and he saw about nine mana stones. Even though it wasn¡¯t a lot, the accumulated spiritual energy should be sufficient. Mo Wuji had no cultivation so he could only use spiritual energy to get his own meridians to circulate. Even though a mana stone only contained an extremely thin layer of spiritual energy, Mo Wuji was still full of confidence. The main reason was because he possessed the elemetal storage channel. The nine mana stones might only be able to produce a small amount of spiritual energy but as long as he gathered all these spiritual energies in his elemental storage channel, he should be able to open his storage ring in one attempt. The moment his storage ring was opened, everything would be simple for him. After Mo Wuji went behind closed doors, Lou Yueshuang was still not able to get over the hype. Previously, she was only a student with rather decent results in the An Jing Academy despite her being the number one in her district. In fact, almost everyone who made it into the An Jing Academy was a number one in their own district. In this short period of time, she became the number one genius of the An Jing Academy and even became a student of Teacher Yan Keze and Teacher Zhan Xiang. After casually browsing through the pile of name cards, she saw country of Liang¡¯s peak grade businessman, Mi Clan and a few other reputable figures of the An Jing City. "Bang!" The door was instantly kicked open which woke Lou Yueshuang out of her sweet thoughts and illusions. She stood up in shock as she looked at the three people coming in through her door. Other than these three people, there were even more people standing outside the door. "Dean Gu¡­" Out of the three people who walked in, Lou Yueshuang looked at the elder with a lost expression as she didn¡¯t understand why the dean of the academy would bring strangers here to destroy her door of the number one genius of the academy. The Dean Gu noticed Lou Yueshuang¡¯s lost eyes so he lowered his head feeling ashamed. No matter how big the dean of the academy was, he was unable to go against an Archbishop. Now that the Archbishop was here, what else could he have done? If he was alone, he could lose his life just like that but he still had the entire An Jing Academy to take care. "You are the Lou Yueshuang? The student who was able to extract, condense and even absorb mana in a short period of time?" The long face youth, who walked in front, glared at Lou Yueshuang coldly. Lou Yueshuang was still at loss so she could only answer, "Yes, I am Lou Yueshuang." The other black face middle aged man heard Lou Yueshuang¡¯s acknowledgement before saying immediately, "Bring her away." Before Lou Yueshuang could even react, an enraged voice was heard, "Even if you are people under the Archbishop, you cannot simply take my student from the An Jing Academy away so casually." A furious Zhan Xiang charged in to stand in front of Lou Yueshuang. Lou Yueshuang¡¯s heart felt warm and even though she didn¡¯t know what was happening, she knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter. This was because the person who instructed someone to bring her away was a someone under the Archbishop and Lou Yueshuang could tell from the logo on his shirt. Under normal circumstances, who would say no to a person working for the Archbishop? Zhan Xiang was a mentor she just followed and yet, she was so protective of her. "Teacher Zhan, you cannot be rash. This is the Law Lord Feng Lu placed in the country of Liang by the Archbishop¡­" Dean Gu of the An Jing Academy hurried to point to the black face middle age man who wanted to bring Lou Yueshuang away. After he introduced him, Dean Gu pointed to the long face youth and said, "This is the Archbishop¡¯s magic master, Master Buo Luojin." Zhan Xiang adjusted her tone before saying calmly, "Dean Gu, no matter who is here, I will definitely not let them take my student away from the An Jing Academy now. As a dean, what you should do instead of bringing them here is to stop them from taking our student away." "How dare you go against the Archbishop¡¯s intentions? Bring her away too," The Law Lord Feng Lu introduced by Dean Gu shouted madly." Chapter 576: Going To Pan Siblings Home Chapter 576: Going To Pan Sibling''s Home Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Zhan Xiang sneered, "The Archbishop is definitely mighty but doesn¡¯t he need a reason for everything he does? You can bring us away but what is your reason?" Feng Lu replied coldly, "Lou Yueshuang is secretly working with a witchcraft descendent and is secretly practising witchcraft. How can we let such a person off? Since you want to defend a witchcraft descendent, you would naturally not be able to get away." "So this is the reason," Zhan Xiang suddenly became depressed because how could she not know that the Archbishop was interested in Lou Yueshuang¡¯s fast mana condensing method? With the Archbishop around, even a perfect law would be a joke. ¡­ Concurrently, Mo Wuji just managed to absorb the spiritual energy of the ninth mana stone into his elemental storage channel. At this moment, he heard that people working under the Archbishop was trying to bring Lou Yueshuang away so he stood up immediately. Back when he taught Lou Yueshuang the method to condense and absorb the mana, he thought of something. He came from the cultivation world and he had seen too many people trying to outwit in each other in the cultivation world. The method that he taught Lou Yueshuang was simply too appalling to the people here hence, it might attract other people¡¯s attention. However, he could only teach Lou Yueshuang this method so that she could enter the advanced class as soon as possible. If the mana array was really able to let him sense spiritual will, even if the Archbishop and all his followers of this planet were to attack him, he would be able to exterminate them with a raise of his hand. The only thing Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect was that the people of the Archbishop came so quickly. Lou Yueshuang just displayed his technique earlier on in the day and the people of the Archbishop had already arrived. Fortunately, Lou Yueshuang was not slow either because just as she entered the advanced class, she managed to get him the nine mana stones. "Hold on¡­" Yet another voice was heard and as Yan Keze rushed in as if he was about to explode. "The few of you are not allowed to bring my student away," Yan Keze said in a stern tone the moment he entered. Feng Lu laughed insincerely, "So it is Teacher Yan, I could only say sorry to you this time round. Even if you are one of the teacher protector of the country of Liang, you are still not capable enough to interfere with the matters of the Archbishop." There was one more part which Feng Lu didn¡¯t mention and that was if Yan Keze insisted on defending Lou Yueshuang and Zhan Xiang, he would face the same consequence. No matter how strong the country of Liang was, it was equivalent to a small ant in front of the Archbishop. So why would the Archbishop care about the opinion of a small protector of the country of Liang? Lou Yueshuang suddenly commented, "When I was condensing the mana, I had a sudden realisation to let the mana flow into this channel and then separate from this channel. This was how I managed to extract and condense mana so what has this got to do with witchcraft?" Lou Yueshuang said while pointing to the position of the extreme spirit channel and cyclic wood channel which Mo Wuji taught her. "Hold on¡­" Zhan Xiang hurried to stop Lou Yueshuang, "Yueshuang, this is the fruit of your labour so why are you sharing it with them?" Lou Yueshuang shook her hand helplessly before saying, "They kept insisting that I was learning witchcraft so I had to prove that I only manage to condense mana with a method I accidentally discovered. It was to prove that I have nothing to with witchcraft." Truth be told, she got the acknowledgement from Mo Wuji previously that the method was not worth anything. It was because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think much of this method that she was willing to say it out casually. However, what Mo Wuji didn¡¯t value here could be worth extremely much. Feng Lu¡¯s first reaction was to try and let energy in the surrounding enter the extreme spiritchannel before realising that Lou Yueshuang¡¯s words were indeed true. This method of condensing mana could be more than 100 times more powerful than what he had learnt previously. Not only was the method fast, the mana extracted out was also extremely pure. More importantly, Feng Lu knew that he didn¡¯t use a mana stone earlier on. A method which required no mana stones to extract mana from within the heaven and earth, how powerful would it be in the right hands? This was something even Feng Lu had not heard of. To the people here, there was a fixed method to cultivate with mana. The instance the wrong method was used, the body might be paralysed in less severe cases while in more severe cases, the person would die immediately. Lou Yueshuang¡¯s trying of new methods was simply equivalent to courting death. When Feng Lu tried and realised that Lou Yueshuang was not lying, he stopped trying to absorb mana via the cyclic wood channel. If he tried using the cyclic wood channel to absorb mana, he would realise that this method was simply not suitable for him. Yan Keze added in, "Do everyone believe Yueshuang now? The Archbishop was after all a dictator of a large place so don¡¯t you think it is a little overboard to bring my student away over such a small matter?" At this moment, Feng Lu¡¯s electronic communication device rang. He grabbed the device, said a few sentences before hanging up and turned to Lou Yueshuang and said in a stern tone, "We are still investigating if you are practicing witchcraft so before we come up with a conclusion, you are not allowed to leave the An Jing Academy." The moment he finished saying this, Feng Lu walked out in a hurry. The Bo Luojin suddenly took a glance at Lou Yueshuang before leaving together with Feng Lu. The embarrassed Dean Gu felt even more ashamed of himself as he left anxiously behind them. Zhan Xiang furrowed her brows as she watched the people walked away, "I am afraid that this matter had not ended. Yueshuang, you should stay here and don¡¯t worry, Teacher Yan and I will definitely not let the Archbishop bring you away." Yan Keze nodded towards Lou Yueshuang to tell her not to worry. Afterwhich, he left together with Zhan Xiang. No matter what happened, he had to do is best to help this capable student of his. After the crowd left, the first thing Lou Yueshuang wanted to do was to inform Mo Wuji but as she turned around, Mo Wuji was already standing in front of the door. Mo Wuji said to Lou Yueshuang, "I¡¯ve overheard everything and that Teacher Zhan was right. This matter has no ended and it is in fact, just the beginning." Mo Wuji was so experienced that after he heard Lou Yueshuang¡¯s words and observed Feng Lu¡¯s reaction, he knew that Feng Lu merely separated the mana using the extreme spiritchannel and had yet to start absorbing mana. The moment he start trying to absorb mana using the cyclic wood channel, he would come to a realisation that it didn¡¯t work. When that time comes, he would be back knocking at the door. Furthermore, Mo Wuji suspected that the Law Lord Feng Lu left in a hurry only because there was an emergency. Otherwise, whether or not, he was able to absorb mana, he would bring Lou Yueshuang away. "Big Brother Mo, you should leave first. I will definitely not sell you out," Lou Yueshuang hurried to say. Mo Wuji shaked his head, "No, whether you sell me out or not, they will find me soon. However, I am indeed leaving and you are leaving with me. We are leaving the An Jing Academy." Up till now, Mo Wuji was not worried at all. He stored some spiritual energy in his elemental storage channel so the moment he made use of it, he would be able to open his storage ring. And once his storage ring was opened, his injuries would heal very quickly and at that point in time, even a Archbishop would be an ant to him. "But we won¡¯t be able to leave here¡­" Lou Yueshuang said worriedly. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Of course we can leave. I am certain that the two fellas from the Archbishop was only giving you a warning verbally and they might not ask the An Jing Academy¡¯s dean to guard you from leaving. Even if they were to do that, there would be some time before the order reached the guards of the the academy." "Big Brother Mo, are you implying that we leave now?" Lou Yueshuang finally came to an understanding. "Yes, we will leave right now," Mo Wuji said without hesitating. "But where will we go?" Lou Yueshuang was still in a loss because she simply didn¡¯t know where to go. In the An Jing City, she had no relatives or friend. Mo Wuji replied calmly, "We will head to the descendents of the witchcraft, the Pang siblings¡¯ house¡­" "Ah¡­" Lou Yueshuang exclaimed before looking at Mo Wuji in shock. The Pan siblings were closely watched by the Archbishop so wouldn¡¯t heading there be sending themselves into the net? Despite her confusion as to why Mo Wuji chose to go there, she didn¡¯t suggest anything else. In actual fact, no matter where they hid, they would not be able to escape from the Archbishop. The only difference would be how many days later would they be caught. ¡­ Just like Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction, nobody came to stop Lou Yueshuang and Mo Wuji from leaving the An Jing Academy. When the Law Lord of the Archbishop ordered her not to leave the academy, it was equivalent to the most severe of orders so who would expect Lou Yueshuang to be this daring to not put the words of the Law Lord in her eyes. After the two of them left the An Jing Academy, they manage to find the small district where the Pan siblings were staying at. Mo Wuji had been in the country of Liang for a short period of time but had roughly guessed the economic status of this place. He was aware that the country of Liang was still quite wealthy and even the laws were done up pretty decently. After arriving at the district of the Pan siblings, Mo Wuji knew that the country of Liang had its fair share of poor people too and that he simply hadn¡¯t seen any before. This place was the poor people district and everywhere was covered with fragmented architectures. It would be a matter of time before this place was completely demolished. Piles of rubbish were found all over this area and people everywhere were wearing tattered clothes. "Big Brother Mo, the Pan sister and brother lived in the broken cave in the east. I¡¯ve seen them at that area before," Lou Yueshuang pointed out to Mo Wuji a district which was slightly further away from where they were standing. "Alright, let¡¯s head towards there now," Mo Wuji responded by quickening his pace. One reason why Mo Wuji came over was because he was intending to avoid the Archbishop or at least until he was fully recovered. There was another reason and that was to get hold of the Pan sister and brother in time. The Archbishop had already assumed Lou Yueshuang¡¯s method of condensing mana had something to do with witchcraft. Even after Lou Yueshuang explained that she accidentally realised this unique method of hers coupled with the fact that the Law Lord had to leave because of an emergency, Mo Wuji was well aware that the Archbishop would definitely be hot on Lou Yueshuang¡¯s heels the moment he understood things. Once he couldn¡¯t find Lou Yueshuang, he would definitely think of the Pan siblings at the first instance. He really didn¡¯t come here to hide but to protect the Pan siblings. Mo Wuji was eager to learn the Pan Clan¡¯s method of strengthening his physique. What he wanted was not all of the Pan Clan¡¯s physique tempering methods but the inspiration that came from the physique tempering method. With this inspiration, he would be able to depend on his 108 meridians and the Dao Revelation meridian to gain insights on a physique tempering method of his own. Just like how he did with the pill refinement and immortal mortal manual. As for the Archbishop, he wouldn¡¯t need to fear him the moment he opened his storage ring. Chapter 577: Pan Clan’s Legacy Chapter 577: Pan Clan¡¯s Legacy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji and Lou Yueshuang bypassed through a few dirty small paths before noticing a lonely broken cave. A skinny boy with a thin waist was walking anxiously to the cave with a snakeskin pouch. Mo Wuji called out from afar, "Pan Jie." The young boy stopped in his tracks as he stared at Mo Wuji and Lou Yueshuang in confusion and astonishment. "How did you know my name is called Pan Jie?" The young boy walked over to Mo Wuji and asked. He recognised that Mo Wuji was the one he helped to purchase a bus ticket the other time and he also recalled that he didn¡¯t tell Mo Wuji much. Mo Wuji explained, "Lou Yueshuang told me that both you and your sister were the nails in the eye of the Archbishop. Lou Yueshuang took me in previously but now she had offended the Archbishop so we have nowhere else to go except to find you. I know you are helpful¡­" The instance Mo Wuji said this, he paused as he wanted to hear what Pan Jie would say at this moment. There were a lot of loopholes in the words of Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe a young boy like Pan Jie would think so far ahead. Pan Jie helped him once and was in a clan which inherited the legacy of the witch race so if the Pan sibling was really able to teach him their witchcraft way of tempering his body, Mo Wuji was really willing exchanged his cultivation technique in return. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t like to take advantage of others because he knew that the Pan Clan physique tempering technique was definitely a peak grade technique in the Immortal World. Once he received this technique, he would impart his own cultivation technique to the Pan siblings so that neither of them would owe each other any favour. What he was doing now would be to test Pan Jie to see what kind of cultivation technique he could impart to the Pan siblings. "It is that bunch of losers again, hurry up and follow me in," Pan Jie didn¡¯t even have any signs of hesitation as he said that. As to whether or not the arrival of Mo Wuji and Lou Yueshuang would implicate his sister and himself, he didn¡¯t seem to have given much thought about it. "Many thanks, Pan Jie for helping me once more," Mo Wuji expressed his gratitude. Pan Jie smiled so widely that his white teeth were revealed. Afterwhich, he gestured for Mo Wuji and Lou Yueshuang to enter the cave first. The door of the cave looked like a wood used for scaffolding placed simply at the entrance. Just outside the entrance, there was also a simply constructed stove with a broken but usable pot on top of it. Before Mo Wuji even entered the place, he could already smell a strong mouldy odour. The combination of the moist air and the mouldy smell would even make a healthy person sick just by living in an environment like this, let alone a severely wounded person like Pan Wu. "Brother, you are back¡­" On the right side of the cave was a wooden bed and the blanket of the wooden bed was still considered clean. There was a woman with a body full of injuries lying on the bed and she called out for Pan Jie the instance she heard that he was back. Mo Wuji only need one look at this woman to know that she was Pan Wu, the girl he saw on the street. The only difference was that Pan Wu no longer had any spirit with her and there was an odd aura emitting from her. Even a fool would know that Pan Wu would not be able to last much longer. Despite knowing what happened to Pan Wu, Lou Yueshuang couldn¡¯t help but tear up at the sight of Pan Wu¡¯s sorry state. "Younger brother, we have visitors?" Pan Wu barely managed to open her eyes but the light in her eyes looked extremely faint. Pan Jie hurried to reply, "Yes, these are two friends of mine. They were chased after by the people of the Archbishop and had nowhere else to hide so they came to hide in our place." Pan Wu sighed before saying calmly, "Since they are here, let them stay here for the time being." Mo Wuji took the initiative to step forward and said, "My name is Mo Wuji and back then, Pan Jie helped me once by paying for my bus fee. Now both of you are even offering a free place to hide, I am truly grateful to both of you." Lou Yueshuang didn¡¯t lag behind too much as she added, "Sister Pan Wu, I am Lou Yueshuang of the An Jing Academy and I am sorry to have troubled both of you." Pan Wu did her best to shake her head, "This is nothing but I am fearful that both of you might not be able to stay here for the long term. They would definitely come to us soon." Lou Yueshuang saw Pan Jie carrying a washbowl over so she hurried to help him before rinsing a towel to help Pan Wu wipe her face. Mo Wuji turned to Pan Jie and asked, "I wonder if it is possible for me to rest on the left side?" In the middle of the cave was divided by a old curtain and while there was a bed for Pan Wu on the right, there was a sofa-like object on the right of the cave. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that it was where Pan Jie slept at night. "Big Brother Mo, please rest well. I will be boiling some soup for my sister to drink," After agreeing to Mo Wuji¡¯s request, Pan Jie picked up the snakeskin bag as he left the cave. "Big Brother Mo, I will be taking care of Sister Pan Wu so you can go ahead and rest," Lou Yueshuang knew that Mo Wuji needed silence and time to himself so she initiated to take care of Pan Wu after Pan Jie left. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t waste any time as he instantly started mustering that trace of spiritual energy in his elemental storage channel after he settled down at Pan Jie¡¯s sofa. In just a few seconds, the spiritual energy was converted into a thin layer of elemental energy. Mo Wuji made use of this elemental energy to support his spiritual will and broke through the seals on the storage ring immediately. Mo Wuj took out a pile of immortal crystals before shutting the storage ring again. Mo Wuji heaved a huge sigh of relief because with this pile of immortal crystals, he succeeded. Mo Wuji absorbed the energy from the immortal crystals at an insane rate and in no time, both his elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel were fully filled. Simultaneously, his immortal elemental energy was completely replenished too. After swallowing several Tier 5 and above healing pills, both Mo Wuji¡¯s internal and external injuries were evidently recovering tremendously. In another two hours, Mo Wuji¡¯s strength had returned to the Earthly Immortal Stage. Even though his internal injuries were still there, he looked perfectly fine on the outside. Mo Wuji was starting to worry that if he was fully recovered, he would be restricted by the rules of Heaven and Earth. He casually changed into a new set of clothes before using his spiritual will to check on his Undying World. Concurrently, he sent the one page of the Book of Luo into the Undying World. The Undying World belonged to Mo Wuji entirely hence, the moment his spiritual will was recovered, Mo Wuji could even sense tiny details like a breath of an earthworm. Previously, Mo Wuji knew that the broken soul in his Undying World was not completely destroyed so when he used his spiritual will to check on his Undying World, he really found the shrinked broken soul at one of the corner of his Undying World. However, this broken soul was trapped and unable to move a single inch by the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Mo Wuji sneered at how capable this broken soul was to be able to survive up till now. He threw out several restriction arrays to imprison this broken soul completely. Mo Wuji was prepared to take revenge on this broken soul afterwards but even before his spiritual will left, the soul said in a trembling voice, "Dao Friend, I, Zhu Lai, was truly blind to have found such a powerful Dao Friend. As long as you can spare my life, we can discuss anything. I have travelled across the Immortal World for countless of years and am aware of countless of secrets. I am willing to exchange my knowledge for my life¡­" Mo Wuji never intended to forgive this broken soul because he nearly swallowed Cen Shuyin and even caused him to end up in this bullsh*t place. He would have perished if it wasn¡¯t for the Book of Luo so how could Mo Wuji forgive him? However, this was not the time to kill this broken soul called Zhu Lai because it wouldn¡¯t be too late to deal with him even after he settled down. ¡­ "Big Brother Mo, you¡­" Lou Yueshuang looked shockingly at Mo Wuji because his terrifying scar had disappeared. This was not the only shocking thing as Mo Wuji had also changed out of his torn clothings. Where did he get the new clothes from? Mo Wuji retrieved a pill to pass to Lou Yueshuang, "Yueshuang, let Pan Wu swallow this pill." "Alright," Lou Yueshuang had seen too many unbelievable things from Mo Wuji so even without asking where he got this pill from, she sent this pill into Pan Wu¡¯s mouth. A faint medicinal scent could be detected and even Lou Yueshuang¡¯s spirit was lifted after smelling it. The instance the pill entered Pan Wu¡¯s mouth, it quickly turned into solution as it flowed through Pan Wu¡¯s entire body. The initially weak, tireless and feverish Pan Wu suddenly sat up on the char as she looked shockingly at her lifted arm before looking at her body in disbelief, "I have recovered?" Lou Yueshuang, who had witnessed this, was too dumbfounded to speak as she instantly confirmed that Mo Wuji was not ordinary. "Could this be a god pill?" Lou Yueshuang was still trembling slightly as she asked. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Something like that I guess. People of the Archbishop are about to knock on the door so Pan Wu, what are your plans with Pan Jie?" Pan Wu jumped out of her bed before kneeling in front of Mo Wuji, "Can Big Brother please save us¡­" After saying half of what she wanted to say, she shouted towards the door, "Jie¡¯Er, hurry up and enter." Pan Jie heard his sister¡¯s shouting and darted in like an arrow. When he saw his sister kneeling on the ground, he asked doubtfully, "Sister, you¡¯ve recovered?" "Jie¡¯Er, hurry up and pass the item of our Pan Clan¡¯s legacy to Big Brother Mo," Pan Wu said without hesitating. Mo Wuji was also shocked as he hadn¡¯t even mention about this and Pan Wu knew what he wanted? Was it that obvious? If it was that obvious, it was simply too awkward. As if she knew that Mo Wuji was at a loss, Pan Wu explained in a hurry, "My Pan Clan¡¯s ancestors had similar techniques to senior. It was only that in the later days, the legacy disappeared and was eventually non existent anymore. One pill of Big Brother Mo actually saved a dying person like myself and even my physique changed which proved that you are naturally an extremely capable man. My Pan Clan¡¯s legacy was almost died out and this was a small portion of it that remained. I am only afraid that it wouldn¡¯t interest Big Brother Mo." Mo Wuji said with an evidently awkward expression, "I am indeed here to ask if the both of you have the legacy of the Pan Clan. However, don¡¯t worry because I won¡¯t take it forcefully from you. I¡¯ve seen the valuable treasures of the Pan Clan¡¯s legacy so I naturally wouldn¡¯t force it upon you. Even if you don¡¯t have the Pan Clan¡¯s legacy, based on the incident that Pan Jie helped me once, I would also act against the Archbishop." Pan Jie had always listened and obeyed to every words of his sister without the need for her to repeat so he rushed over to grab a small wooden stool from beside the door to hit it against the ground. A leather scroll, which Mo Wuji had no idea which generation it belonged to, dropped down as Pan Jie picked it up for Mo Wuji, "Big Brother Mo, this is the leather scroll containing the legacy of my Pan Clan¡­" Mo Wuji took over the leather scroll but looked at the entrance of the cave instead of looking through the scroll, "The people of the Archbishop are here. Their speed was still slightly slower than I¡¯ve expected." Chapter 578: Archbishop of the East Mo Church Chapter 578: Archbishop of the East Mo Church Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I really didn¡¯t accuse you because you are really colluding with the Pan Clan," A long face man glanced across at Lou Yueshuang as he said with a cold tone. Afterwards, his eyes fell back on Pan Wu before saying, "You are recovering pretty quickly and so what else do you have to say now? Didn¡¯t you say that you didn¡¯t know any witchcraft legacy so why would you be with the number one genius who practices witchcraft?" Mo Wuji recognised this long face man called Bo Luojin and according to Dean Gu, he should be a mage. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t recognise the other man Bo Luojin brought along with him. However, Bo Luojin didn¡¯t get him to enter the cave as he instructed him to keep watch outside of the cave. Pan Wu pursed up her lips without saying anything but Bo Luojin didn¡¯t mind that Pan Wu remained silent because how he was feeling now was not coherent with the expression he displayed in front of everyone. He was extremely excited over this incident. Why would a mage like himself find trouble with Lou Yueshuang over such small incident? His motive was the same as Feng Lu which was Lou Yueshuang¡¯s mana condensing and absorbing methods. When Feng Lu came to a realisation that Lou Yueshuang¡¯s method didn¡¯t work when he tried to absorb the mana, he wanted to find Lou Yueshuang personally. However, the irritable Archbishop decided to head over to the An Jing City himself so Feng Lu was unable to leave his spot. Bo Luojin requested for him to be the one to confront and bring Lou Yueshuang away only because he was also coveting for her technique. If he was able to obtain some sort of real and effective mana condensing method from Lou Yueshuang, he would kill Lou Yueshuang on the spot before leaving his hometown. Work for the Archbishop? Ah, what would the Archbishop mean to him if he became a true Magic Emperor? Presently, his heart was almost jumping for joy at the sight of Lou Yueshuang here in the Pan Clan¡¯s turf. This meant that Lou Yueshuang really did obtain the witchcraft legacy, otherwise, why would she be with the Pan sibling? The Archbishop was always going all out in his efforts to bring down witchcraft and claimed it to be a heterodoxy evil but Archbishop knew well that a witchcraft legacy passed down from generation was the true supreme cultivation technique. Even the basis of the teachings by the Archbishop originated from the ancestors of the witch race. Since he decided to capture the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang, he would naturally kill the young looking stranger, Mo Wuji. Bo Luojin¡¯s eyes fell on Mo Wuji and his eyes were instantly fixed on the ancient looking scroll on Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. At this moment, his entire body was trembling, "This, this is the legacy of witchcraft¡­" Mo Wuji waved the scroll in the air without hiding anything, "That¡¯s right, Pan Jie gave me this so I am guessing it is the legacy." "Ah¡­" Immense amount of joy surged into Bo Luojin¡¯s body as he could no longer contain his excitement. He reached out his hand to grab the scroll in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. However, he was instantly stunned as the entire space around him seemed to have solidified to restrain him. He was simply unable to move a single inch. Mo Wuji casually took the scroll back as he said, "There is actually one point that you are wrong about. Lou Yueshuang¡¯s cultivation technique was taught by me and it really had nothing to do with the witch race. Tell me, why isn¡¯t your Law Lord Feng Lu here? Given his level of greediness, he should be the first one here to find Lou Yueshuang." "Archbishop Wu Dian is here so he had to accompany the Archbishop hence, unable to come over¡­" Bo Luojin felt a chill down his spine as he had met too many ordinary people as mage but not one like Mo Wuji. To be able to come up with this space that caused him to be immobile, even the Pope would not be able to do so. "Kill the person outside and bring me to the Vatican," Mo Wuji said peacefully but to Bo Luojin, it was a terrifying sentence. Bo Luojin subconsciously tried to move his feet and he was surprised to see that he was indeed able to move. However, his body was only able to shift towards one direction, which was the exit where the Vatican believer was standing outside. At this moment, Bo Luojin had already given up on the idea of escaping because he was well aware that in the face of an expert like Mo Wuji, he would be making a fool of himself if he even attempted to escape. A sharp knife was drawn out by Bo Luojin and without any hesitation at all, he struck his knife towards tha man standing outside the cave. A devastating cry was heard before blood splattered out. Lou Yueshuang cried out loud as she almost fainted at the sight of this. As for the Pan sibling, they appeared calm but Mo Wuji could tell that they were a little shocked too. ¡­ Despite the fact that the Archbishop of the East Mon Church don¡¯t visit the country of Liang often, the country of Liang¡¯s Vatican building was even more luxurious than the royal palace of Liang. The area that it covered was even more vast with a wide, white jade stone path stretched all the way into the main hall. At this moment, there was a man whose age couldn¡¯t be guessed seated in the middle of the hall. He looked young but there seemed to be this middle age or even elder¡¯s vicissitudes of life within him. It was also wrong to say that he was a middle-aged man because he looked like he was not beyond 30 years old. The only stand out thing about his appearance was his long and hooked nose. Beside him was a middle aged man wearing a crown and even though he looked like his status was higher than the hooked nose man seated in the middle, he appeared to be submissive to the hooked nose man. This was because this hooked nose man was one of the two most powerful man on this planet, East Mon Church Archbishop Wu Dian. The man with the crown was merely the king of the country of Liang, Qian Zhicheng. In the country of Liang, Qian Zhicheng was a powerful existence but in front of the Archbishop, he was nothing more than an ant. "Law Lord Feng Lu, the An Jing Academy was located not too far away from here so why is Bo Luojin not back yet?" The seated Archbishop asked. The black face Feng Lu hurried to bow to the Archbishop, "Replying the Archbishop. Your subordinate has no idea so why don¡¯t I go over to check it now." Wu Dian said faintly, "It¡¯s okay, let¡¯s just wait for a while more. Also, go send some people to bring the Pan Clan¡¯s sister and brother over here too. I will ask the questions myself this time round." "Roger¡­" Feng Lu replied promptly because he was more aware than anyone else than the Archbishop¡¯s calm tone was the scariest. The more calm the Archbishop appeared, the more enraged he was on the inside. When he truly erupted, it wouldn¡¯t even take much for him to exterminate the entire country of Liang, let alone a Law Lord. Nobody dared to disobey the orders of the Archbishop because the Archbishop had the absolute authority. As long as the words came out from the Archbishop¡¯s mouth, it had to be done unconditionally. Otherwise, there was only one word appropriate to describe the consequence. Death. Even though this had nothing to do with the country of Liang¡¯s King Qian Zhicheng, he was still letting out cold sweat profusely and his back was equally as chilly. He knew about the unstable emotions of this Archbishop and he was aware that the extermination of the country of Liang could happen just by a sentence of this Archbishop. Even so, the most terrified person in this hall was neither Qian Zhicheng nor Law Lord Feng Lu but An Jing Academy¡¯s Dean Du Cheng. He wasn¡¯t afraid of losing his small life but fearful that Lou Yueshuang might have left the An Jing Academy daringly. The moment Lou Yueshuang left, even if she was caught back, the An Jing Academy would be doomed. He had heard of how vicious this Archbishop was. Gu Cheng¡¯s heart was hoping that Lou Yueshuang didn¡¯t leave the An Jing Academy but whatever he was fearful of, came true. Even before Feng Lu could leave the hall to instruct his men, a follower hurried in before kneeling and said, "Greetings Archbishop. We have just received news that the student Lou Yueshuang had left the An Jing Academy and no one knew where she went. Master Mage had already went to search for her." Gu Ceng heard this word before his legs gave way and his heart sighed once more. If the Heaven wanted the An Jing Academy to end here, it would be useless even if he were to kneel and beg. One could imagine how huge the consequence would be for the An Jing Academy now that Lou Yueshuang had left on her own. Indeed, Wu Dian¡¯s face turned solemn as he said coldly, "Spread my order immediately. Give An Jing Academy a bloodbath and do not leave even a single ant behind." Gu Cheng could not longer take it as he dropped on his knees. He wanted to plead for forgiveness but he had no idea how to do it. Qian Zhicheng was also astonished because the An Jing Academy was the foundation that the country of Liang depended on for survival. The moment the An Jing Academy was exterminated, the doomsday for the country of Liang wouldn¡¯t be too far away. Even if it was the Archbishop Wu Dian, Qian Zhicheng couldn¡¯t care much anymore as he darted forward and got on his knees too. "May the Archbishop have mercy on us. Even if the Lou Yueshuang left the An Jing Academy, she wouldn¡¯t have left far and I promise to bring her here in less than an incense worth of time." Wu Dian remained emotionless, "Go ahead, if you cannot bring that Lou Yueshuang in time, your country of Liang can forget about existing anymore. As for the An Jing Academy, it had to be exterminated." "You, you unmerciful lord, you deserve to die¡­" After Gu Cheng knew that the An Jing Academy was beyond saving, he stood up as he pointed and cursed at Wu Dian. A follower of the Archbishop came forward to kick Gu Cheng off and as he barely got up from the ground, Gu Cheng pointed at Qian Zhicheng to reprimand him too, "And you, useless king, how could you let a cult control the fate of my country of Liang." Qian Zhicheng¡¯s face revealed a guilty look because he was able to turn the country of Liang into a wealthy country yet was unable to prevent the Vatican from committing all kinds of evils here. "Bring him out to extract his skin before smashing his bones. Lit his entire house and family on fire before torturing every single person in the An Jing Academy to death¡­" Traces of anger finally appeared in Wu Dian¡¯s eyes because he couldn¡¯t believe there was someone daring enough to reprimand him in front of everyone here. "Even though your idea is sh*tty, it seemed like you have some backbones," A calm voice interrupted Wu Dian¡¯s voice. It was only at this moment that people in the hall noticed that there were a few more people in the hall. The one speaking was a blue shirt youth who¡¯s words seemed to be directed at Gu Cheng. "Archbishop, that is Lou Yueshuang and the Pan siblings¡­" Feng Lu, who was on his way out, pointed out to Lou Yueshuang and the Pan siblings behind Mo Wuji. They even spotted Bo Luojin. Wu Dian saw Mo Wuji before glancing across to Bo Luojin. As a mage and his subordinate, Wu Dian was naturally aware of his strength. He was curious why Bo Luojin was so daring to remain speechless with his head down after entering the hall. Even Feng Lu noticed that there was something wrong with Bo Luojin. Because he was always the one who brought Bo Luojin out, he was fully aware of Bo Luojin¡¯s wild ambition. Previously, he was even afraid that Bo Luojin might escape far away after obtaining Lou Yueshuang¡¯s technique. Chapter 579: Lifting Of The Hand Chapter 579: Lifting Of The Hand Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Bo Luojin, you are very brave indeed. How dare you not kneel down to pay your respects when the Archbishop is right here?" Feng Lu shouted when he saw Bo Luojin with his heads lowered throughout the whole time while he was in the hall. As the Archbishop of the East Mon Church, Wu Dian was ruthless and vicious. However, this didn¡¯t mean that he was a fool. Mo Wuji¡¯s silent entrance into the hall, his tone and attitude showed that he didn¡¯t put the Archbishop in his eyes. Naturally, he knew that Mo Wuji was definitely not an ordinary person. "Men, bring these mad people away¡­" The moment Wu Dian¡¯s stern voice was heard, hundreds of men in black charged out from both sides of the hall. None of these men was any weaker than Bo Luojin and every single one of them had serious killing intent. The moment these people appeared, black formless ropes were thrown towards Mo Wuji. Despite being a student of the An Jing Academy, this was the first time Lou Yueshuang had seen such methods. For ordinary people like herself, this was already far beyond what she could possibly perceived. At this moment, there were slight movements in the eyes of Qian Zhicheng because he was well aware of what these black ropes were. Don¡¯t underestimate the hundreds of people here because on a real battlefield, these hundreds were capable of going against tens of thousand of people. These black ropes were capable of cleaving off soldiers¡¯ bodies before forming a massive dragnet. The reason why the Archbishop was able to ride above many countries was because he had many other similarly terrifying methods. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even budge an inch and before the black ropes could come close to him, it stopped in mid air. Following which, the black formless ropes turned into countless of sharp arrows before being shot right back at them. Hundreds of sharp arrows shot every single one of them in the forehead without any exception. Without any resistance, hundreds of people fell onto the ground. The place ended up being even more quiet than when they entered. "You¡­" Wu Dian hurried to stand up as red mist of blood surrounded him. His icy cold killing intent surged as if he was about to explode. Even so, he simply couldn¡¯t conceal the fear in his heart. Ever since he became the Archbishop, he, Wu Dian, didn¡¯t know what was fear. In his eyes, he was almost like god as he had absolute control over everyone¡¯s life. One word was enough for him to send even a king to death. Presently, all he felt was fear. Even he couldn¡¯t apprehend Mo Wuji¡¯s method because the mana ropes that he used against Mo Wuji was the epitome of the true power of mana which even cold weapons could not fend against. However, this young man in front of him actually didn¡¯t move an inch and yet these mana ropes turned into sharp arrows and countered. "Who on earth are you?" Seeing that Mo Wuji had walked over, Wu Dian¡¯s killing intent grew sharper. Wu Dian raised his hand and multiple red blade radiance were shot at Mo Wuji. Additionally, a few flames appeared as it filled up all the gaps between the blade radiances. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother moving because whether it was the red blade radiance or the flame, they would instantly dissipate without a trace when it came close to him. In what seemed like a single step, Mo Wuji was already standing right in front of Wu Dian, "Are you the Archbishop Wu Dian of the East Mon Church?" Wu Dian¡¯s forehead started sweating profusely as he finally realised that he was no match for the young man in front of him. At this moment, he finally experienced the fear that Qian Zhicheng and Cheng Gu felt earlier on. "A skillful friend like you would definitely be worthy to sit with the Archbishop of the East Mon Church. Please¡­" Wu Dian leaned one side as he extended his arm to direct Mo Wuji to a seat beside his. "Scram!" Mo Wuji kicked and Wu Dian looked like he was swept off his feet by an invisible force before landing roughly beside Qian Zhicheng and Gu Cheng. Death shrouded Wu Dian and he clearly regretted coming over to An Jing. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t intend to sit on Wu Dian¡¯s seat because he was never interested in the position of the Archbishop. Honestly, it was really boring for him as a Xuan Immortal to be dealing with these people who were not even considered to be cultivators. Qian Zhicheng finally felt relieved as he saw Wu Dian landed beside him in cold sweat. "The technique that you want was what I taught Lou Yueshuang, do you want to learn? Why don¡¯t you try absorbing mana from the cyclic fire spirit channel? Do you know where the cyclic fire spirit channel is? Let me teach you, it is right here," Mo Wuji said as he pointed to a spot on his middle Dantian. Wu Dian subconsciously followed Mo Wuji¡¯s directions as he started absorbing mana from that spot. He was astonished when he managed to absorb mana at a rate at least ten times faster than his average. One must know that as an Archbishop of the East Mon Church, his mana technique was naturally not something others could compare with. However, his mana technique was actually so much worse than a few casual sentence of this young man in front of him. "Wu Dian is willing to surrender the position of the Archbishop to have a senior like you to be my mentor¡­" Wu Dian kneeled down without any hesitation as he casually threw away all the honour that came with being an Archbishop. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about Wu Dian. His eyes landed on Qian Zhicheng, who was wearing a crown on his head, "You are the king of the country of Liang?" Qian Zhicheng bowed, "Yes, Your Excellency." Mo Wuji hurried to reply, "Are you able to exterminate the entire East Mon Church and the West Mon Church immediately?" The truth was that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really put both the East Mon Church and the West Mon Church to heart but he knew that the moment he left this planet, the East Mon Church would affect the lives of Lou Yueshuang and co. if they were to continue existing. Moreover, Mo Wuji was extremely disgusted at the act of the East Mon Church dragging someone on the road using a car. The existence of the religion was simply cancerous. Qian Zhicheng was willing to plead for the safety of the An Jing Academy proved that he was still a decent governor. "Qian Zhicheng is willing to do so but I¡¯m not strong enough to do it. The East and West Mon Church is many folds much stronger than the army of my country of Liang. Furthermore, there were other countries involved so the moment I activate the army of my country of Liang, this country could perish in the hands of everyone else," Qian Zhicheng immediately got on his knees. "Your Excellency, I, Wu Dian, is willing to pioneer the plan to help the country of Liang to destroy the East and West Mon Church," Wu Dian said convincingly. "You ran out of chances," Mo Wuji lifted his hand and a wind blade flew over. Blood splattered out as the power holder for countless of years was slashed apart by the wind blade of Mo Wuji. "Your Excellency, it was because of a disciple from the An Jing Academy called Yun Mo who ratted on student Lou Yueshuang and it was why we¡­" Feng Lu, who was already at loss since a long time ago, saw how Mo Wuji slashed the Archbishop so easily and knew that if he didn¡¯t try to save himself, he would be the next in line to suffer. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother looking as multiple wind blades were shot out and Feng Lu, Bo Luojin and several other followers were killed instantly. After finishing this, Mo Wuji took out a longsword to pass it to Qian Zhicheng, "You can fight directly. At the same time, please spread the news of my appearance. If any country dare to obstruct you, you can obliterate the entire country. This sword can destroy everything no matter how far you are, no matter how many soldiers they have or no matter how strong they are. As long as you want to kill the opponent, draw out this sword. Even if millions of the Archbishop¡¯s followers were to act against you, you can still use this sword. Everything in front of my sword would turn into ash instantly." This sword had Mo Wuji¡¯s dao spiritual will and in a place like this, Mo Wuji believed that the army Qian Zhicheng brought with him should be able to destroy any resistance of the religion with the help of his sword. As for the other countries, they wouldn¡¯t dare to obstruct when they found out that the country of Liang was intending to destroy the East and West Mon Church. In fact, they might even render their assistance. "Roger that, I, Qian Zhicheng, will obey your orders!" Qian Zhicheng took over the long sword anxiously as he was even trembling as he said that. He didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji was lying because he had already witnessed Mo Wuji¡¯s unparallel dao methods earlier on. Mo Wuji said faintly, "I will be cultivating behind closed doors here and I will be fully aware of whoever you kill with this longsword. If you dare use this to kill the innocent, or use it to obliterate countries who didn¡¯t obstruct you, don¡¯t blame me for what I will do to you." "Yes, yes this will be etched in my heart," Cold sweat started falling from Qian Zhicheng¡¯s back because he really did have the intentions to destroy some rival countries. After Mo Wuji said something like that, he dismissed that idea immediately. The mighty and powerful Archbishop was not even treated like an ant in front of this young man so how much could his life as a mere king of the country of Liang be worth to him? "Go ahead, find me after you settled everything. I will wait here for half a year and if you have not exterminated the East and West Mon Church in half a year, you can blame me for not helping you anymore," Mo Wuji said to Qian Zhicheng. Mo Wuji saw the technology here and even though he hadn¡¯t seen any nuclear weapons, their weapons must be rather decent if the level of technology was this high here. Qian Zhicheng heard that Mo Wuji was only giving him six months, he hurried to bid his goodbye. To him, this was an once in a million opportunity. As long as he managed to destroy the East and West Mon Church, his country of Liang would be one of the greatest country on this planet. Therefore, he must take full advantage of this half a year that Mo Wuji gave him. "Many thanks Your Excellency for saving my An Jing Academy," After Qian Zhicheng left, Dean Gu of the An Jing Academy rushed forward to express his gratitude. Mo Wuji responded, "As a dean, you have to be fair. Even if you gave Lou Yueshuang to the Archbishop to kill and save the An Jing Academy, the academy would never be the same as it used to be. Go back first, there is nothing for you now." Gu Cheng knew that he had made a mistake and that if it was not for Mo Wuji, the An Jing Academy would have already ceased to exist. He had already lost his brave, relentless attitude so he would retire as the dean when he made it back to the academy. After everyone else started leaving the Archbishop¡¯s Hall and there was only Mo Wuji, Lou Yueshuang and the Pan siblings left, Mo Wuji said, "I am sure that all of you would have already guessed that I am not from this planet and that I had only just passed by here. I am unable to cultivate my dao here but of course, if all of you are willing to learn, I am still more than willing to teach you." Chapter 580: Army Arrived Chapter 580: Army Arrived Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Mentor, my sister and I are willing to follow you," Pan Jie was very young but he was not foolish. Given Mo Wuji¡¯s strength and skills, it can¡¯t go wrong to follow behind Mo Wuji. "Big Brother Mo, I am also willing follow you," Lou Yueshuang hurried to comment because if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to accept any disciples, she would have addressed him as mentor too. Mo Wuji said awkwardly, "It is not that I am unwilling to bring all of you away but the truth is that I am about to leave this place too. The only problem is that I have no idea where could I go. It might not be not possible for me to land in space¡­" After saying this, Mo Wuji thought of something, "How about this? I will give the three of you three storage rings and then I¡¯ll teach you how to cultivate for three months. The resources in the storage ring would be sufficient for you to reach the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. Whether or not you would be able to continue advancing from there, it would depend on your environment." Mo Wuji had as many treasures in his Undying World as spirit stones and immortal crystals. He had more than enough to provide for the three of them to cultivate to the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. The only worry was that the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang might not be able to soar up into the Immortal World after advancing to the Earthly Immortal Stage. Because he had recovered until his Earthly Immortal strength, he didn¡¯t feel the pressure of the rules of Heaven and Earth as well as the calling from the higher world. "What is a storage ring?" Pan Jie asked curiously. Mo Wuji extended his arm and a few jade chairs appeared. While the three of them were still in shock, Mo Wuji got them seated before passing on to them his knowledge of cultivation. ¡­ The most recent big news of the Planet Heavenly Crow was the defiance of the country of Liang as they activated their army to go against the East and West Mon Church. Countless of people believed that Qian Zhicheng had went crazy because if he wasn¡¯t crazy, why would he court his own death just like that? To many people, the country of Liang would soon turn into dust of the country of Liang. A few of the smaller countries wanted to please the Holy Church so they activated their armies to go against the country of Liang. However, these small countries were soon swallowed and turned into cities of the country of Liang. The country of Liang¡¯s wild army made a few bigger countries anxious as well. They gathered their soldiers quickly so that the instance the country of Liang invaded, they would fight back instantly. However, many bigger countries soon realised that as long as they don¡¯t step in to obstruct the country of Liang, the country of Liang would not attack them. This made many of the bigger countries confused as the country of Liang really did seemed like they were only going against the Holy Church. Even though they knew that the country of Liang would not be able to exterminate the Holy Church, they were happy just to see the Holy Church being attacked. Many countries stopped summoning their armies as they simply sat back and waited for the Holy Church to obliterate the country of Liang like breaking a branch from a tree. Very soon, all the other countries noticed something amiss as the country of Liang didn¡¯t get obliterated. Not only this, wherever the army went, followers of the Mon Religion would be killed. Countless of the Holy Church followers switched sides and the power of the country of Liang expanded yet again. More importantly, they had full control and authority over their own country as they no longer had to listen to the Holy Church. A few countries started getting ready to cause troubles as well because no countries would like to have the Holy Church stepping all over their heads. Now that the country of Liang had acted first, the Holy Church appeared as if its chances of victory was not that high. When the country of Liang hung the East Mon Religion¡¯s Archbishop¡¯s head outside of the city of An Jing, these countries couldn¡¯t wait anymore as all of them started activating their armies to go against the East and West Mon Churches. The truth knocked them in the head once more as the power of the East and West Mon Church was so much greater than they could handle. Even after East Mon Religion¡¯s Archbishop Wu Dian was killed by the country of Liang, there were still an endless stream of strong followers from the East Mon Religion who was more than capable of holding the armies of a few big countries back. Only the army of the country of Liang was still able to go against the Mon Religion as they constantly killed all the experts that the Mon Religions sent over. At this moment, some countries started finding the country of Liang to form an alliance. And for the country of Liang, they would never reject other countries¡¯ help they could provide by forming an alliance. With the help of the country of Liang, the alliance grew stronger. The East Mon Religion collapsed extremely quickly and the alliance army soon fought its way to the territories of the West Mon Church. ¡­ The East Mon Religion was one of the two big religious school in the Planet Heavenly Crow. On the other end of the Planet Heavenly Crow was an even stronger West Mon Church. Even though the East and West Mon Church appeared to be on the same level, the truth was that the foundation of the West Mon Church was much more stable and its strength was even more concealed. Furthermore, there was an even bigger difference between the East and West Mon Churches. All the kings of the countries under the jurisdiction of the West Mon Church had all devoted their life to the West Mon Church¡¯s Holy Church. The West Mon Church¡¯s Holy Church Palace Hall was as big as a full middle sized city. When the West Mon Church¡¯s Archbishop Bin Lanxi heard that a small country like the country of Liang had flagged their intent to destroy the West Mon Church, he really didn¡¯t take it seriously. A small country without magic techniques would actually think that they could exterminate the West Mon Church. In Bin Lanxi¡¯s eyes, the ignorant would really be the most fearless. Therefore, even though the country of Liang was fighting ferociously, he didn¡¯t even bother giving out an order as he knew for certain that the East Mon Religion would be able to wipe the country of Liang of the surface of this planet. However, when he heard that Wu Dian was also killed by the country of Liang, that the East Mon Religion had already been exterminated and they had even fought into their territories, Bin Lanxi started to worry. A small mortal country should never be so powerful no matter how advanced their technology was. Worst of all, they should have never been strong enough to defeat the East Mon Religion. Bin Lanxi was initially unwilling to move but when he heard that Wu Dian had been killed and the country of Liang had reached his territories, he made the decision to head out himself. Even before he could bring some followers to deal with the invading army of the country of Liang, his most loyal Law Lord Jin Hongyi hurried over anxiously with the latest piece of news. Noticing that Jin Hongyi was trembling, Bin Lanxi furrowed his eyebrows, "Hongyi, you are after all one of the most powerful Magic Master under my reign. Wu Dian only had the title but not the actual power and strength so I guess the East Mon Religion was nothing more than a bluff when it came to their fighting strength? A Wu Dian was killed and only a small army of mortals came over, what¡¯s there to worry about? Please speak your mind directly if you have anything to say." "Yes, yes Archbishop¡­" It seemed like the Bin Lanxi¡¯s words had an effect as Jin Hongyi¡¯s tone became more stable. He took in a deep breath before replying, "The country of Liang¡¯s alliance consists of 46 countries and had already destroyed 6 countries under our West Mon Church. There are still 11 countries fighting back but in most regions of these 11 countries, most of the West Mon Church¡¯s followers had been killed. This includes Magic Master Han Hao, Magic Master Hui Zhisheng and Magic Master Ping Jie¡­ Additionally, Great Magic Master Qian Fengshan has also been killed¡­ At this moment, the alliance army had already reached the periphery of my Mi Qi City¡­" "Wht?" Bin Lanxi was at a complete loss because even if he was shocked at the fact that a few Magic Master had been killed, he still wouldn¡¯t have lost his composure. However, he simply couldn¡¯t keep it in when he heard that Qian Fengshan had been killed. "Did you say Qian Fengshan was killed?" Bin Lanxi asked word by word. Qian Fengshan was a Great Magic Master and was an existence equivalent to a Magic Emperor. In the West Mon Church, his status was also high above the rest and was definitely not much weaker than Bin Lanxi. It certainly wasn¡¯t a simple matter if even his Great Magic Master was killed. Jin Hongyi replied respectfully, "Yes, our Great Magic Master Qian Fengshan was indeed killed." "Explain to me every details of how Qian Fengshan was killed. Do not miss out a single word," Bin Lanxi¡¯s tone became extremely serious and contained a sharp trace of killing intent. "Yes, many people saw the incident when the Holy Church¡¯s Great Magic Master Qian Fengshan was killed. The country of Liang¡¯s King Qian Zhicheng had a supreme sword, which was able to decapitate people¡¯s head from thousand of miles away. As long as Qian Zhicheng drew out his sword, no matter how people tried to block him, they would all die without exceptions. Great Magic Master Qian Fengshan was also killed by Qian Zhicheng¡¯s sword. In fact, Qian Fengshan saw the sword and wanted to avoid it but no matter where or how he hid, the sword was still able to find and kill him," Jin Hongyi explained in great details. "This means that all the other experts including Wu Dian was also killed by that sword?" Bin Lanxi became more and more terrified. "It seemed like this is indeed the case. I have no idea where Qian Zhicheng got this sword but I suspect that it was a magic treasure left behind by the witch races," Jin Hongyi replied cautiously. "Why don¡¯t we kill him before he draw out the sword?" Hearing that it might be a magic treasure left behind by the witch race, Bin Lanxi¡¯s brows moved a little before maintaining his original expression. "There is no use because according to the news we received, all the weapons used against Qian Zhicheng couldn¡¯t even reach him. They were all blocked by a ripple which can¡¯t be seen by the naked eye before falling to the ground," Jin Hongyi explained. Bin Lanxi nodded, "It seemed like this person really did inherit the legacy of the witch race¡­" After saying this sentence, Bin Lanxi remained silent for a long while before saying suddenly, "Invite Spiritual Master Hong Guang over here¡­" ¡­ Mi Qi City was where the old lair of the West Mon Church was located at. The defensive measures here were not great and the three big words ¡®West Mon Church¡¯ hung were the biggest deterrence because who would dare attack the Mi Qi City? However, at this very moment, there was a large army of over millions of soldiers standing outside the Mi Qi City. Standing right in the forefront of the An Jing City was the country of Liang¡¯s King Qian Zhicheng. For a few months, Qian Zhicheng was constantly at war but his eyes were still burning with fire and enthusiasm. He had never fought such an enjoyable war and even after fighting for a few months, his spirits were still high when his skin colour turned into the colour of dust. This war made him realised that in front of an absolute powerhouse, all kinds of plots would be useless and futile. In this case, he had the absolute power right now. Standing around him were about over ten fellas wearing the war robe, looking imposingly at the opponent. These fellas were not soldiers of the army but Kings of the individual countries. Qian Zhicheng had appeared tremendously mighty so these kings would also be willing to follow closely beside him. Previously, Mo Wuji thought that the Planet Heavenly Crow¡¯s technology was decent and would at least not be any worse than his Earth. He believed that during war, they would also have fighter jets, grenades and a few canons here and there. Until then, his sword would only need to be used to kill the opponent¡¯s brains and the battle would be won eventually. The truth was that under the rule of the East and West Mon Churches, even though the Planet Heavenly Crow¡¯s technology was rather decent, the technology for combat weapons were still not that great. Without mentioning grenades, they had only just developed rifles and had even yet to form any army formations. Because of this, Qian Zhicheng decided to take it upon himself and kill his way through. Chapter 581: Another Cultivator Chapter 581: Another Cultivator Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Big Brother Qian, right in front of us, is the city of West Mon Religion¡¯s Holy Church, Mi Qi City. I heard that this city is a palace, and West Mon¡¯s Archbishop Bin Lanxi is staying in the palace. As long as we get rid of Mi Qi City, it would be equivalent to destroying the West Mon Religion," An aristocrat explained to Qian Zhicheng in a hushed voice. Before Qian Zhicheng could even reply, some cried out in alarm, "Someone is walking in midair!" Indeed, a grey faced man with Buddhist beads in his hand began to descend upon them from midair. His gaze swept across the rows of soldier in contempt. In his eyes, it didn''t matter how many soldiers there were, they were all merely ants. However, when his eyes landed on the sword in Qian Zhicheng''s hands, his pupils instantly constricted. He immediately flashed towards Qian Zhicheng, reaching for the longsword. If Qian Zhicheng wasn''t a veteran who didn''t experience war over the past few months, he would really have been stupefied by that sudden action. But after experiencing the war, Qian Zhicheng had a strong self confidence. The moment he saw that man coming towards him, he immediately swung his longsword. Even so, his speed was really too slow. By the time the man approached him, his longsword had only just finished the slash. The longsword conjured a beam of white light, which stabbed towards this grey faced man. The Buddhist beads in the grey faced man''s hands exploded to form countless of Buddhist threads; these threads formed the shape of wave which blocked the longsword. Tearing sounds reverberated through the air as the wave like Buddhist threads were continuously ripped apart. The grey faced man hurriedly flew backwards in surprise, all the way till he reached the outside of Mi Qi City. His Buddhist threads had managed to defend against the sword light from the longsword. At the same time, the longsword flew back into Qian Zhicheng''s hands. Even though he had the upper hand on the exchange, Qian Zhicheng was still at a loss. Ever since he had this sword, this was the first time he met someone that his longsword could not cut down. "I never thought that a cultivator''s magic treasure would end up here. Not only is it incredibly strong, it could even be wielded by you¡­" The grey faced man didn''t make another move, he only spoke coldly. Perhaps Qian Zhicheng''s longsword was an incredible magic treasure, but he was not in a rush. In this planet, there was no one that could stop him, Hong Guang, from getting what he wants. "Bin Lanxi greets Master Hong Guang!" The pale white Bin Lanxi swiftly walked out of the city and bowed. If they didn''t see it with their own eyes, no one would believe that the Archbishop of West Mon would be so reverent to an ordinary looking man. No one knew that in West Mon, there was still a spiritual master above the Archbishop. Fortunately, this Spiritual Master Hong Guang had never asked about the matters of West Mon; he only cared about how West Mon could help him when he needed it to. The grey faced Hong Guang nodded, "You do indeed have a reason to be scared. If I hadn''t come, perhaps your head would soon be hanging outside the walls of Mi Qi City." Bin Lanxi¡¯s heart pounded; he knew that this Spiritual Master Hong Guang wasn''t a good man, but he was very sure that Hong Guang wouldn''t lie about such matters. "Many thanks Master for your saving grace!" Bin Lanxi hurriedly expressed his thanks; his eyes were filled with respect and sincerity. Hong Guang nodded, "Let me take a look at that sword¡­" With that, Hong Guang stepped out and tried again to grab the longsword in Qian Zhicheng''s hands. He had already made sense of the situation; besides this longsword being a little impressive, there was no other threat. Qian Zhicheng wasn''t even a mage. The moment he wasn''t able to kill Hong Guang with his attack, Qian Zhicheng''s heart sank. The reason why he was able to bring his huge army here was primarily because of the sword in his hand. Now that his sword was unable to kill the other party, it would mean that this place was going to be his grave. On the second time that Hong Guang approached, Qian Zhicheng wasn''t even able to attack with his longsword as the other party''s palm was already right in front of him. "Cha!" A sharp sound, which couldn''t be heard by ordinary people, sounded. Following which, Qian Zhicheng felt his hand become lighter. His longsword was gone. "Eh!" Hong Guang wasn''t as flustered the second time as he had during the first. He had managed to directly snatch away Qian Zhicheng''s sword. However, he wasn''t feeling elation at this moment, but shock. Around Qian Zhicheng''s body, there was actually a faint layer of a magic barrier. What kind of person was so powerful as to create such a lasting protective barrier around an ordinary mortal? At least, he wasn''t that powerful. If there was really an expert behind Qian Zhicheng, then he couldn''t stay here for long. Regardless, he would need to make sense of the situation first; he, Hong Guang, wasn''t going to simply run away like that. Planet Heavenly Crow was a planet that he had chosen with great efforts. It would be a huge waste if he were to leave with it getting things clear. ¡­ Even though the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang were cleverer than the average person, and their talents were also amazing, Mo Wuji continued to stay behind and pass his teachings for close to five months. As for how much they were each able to absorb was mostly within his control. Fortunately, regardless of how much they were able to understand, the three of them should at least be able to preserve themselves on this planet. As for whether this three people spread around his methods, Mo Wuji wasn''t too worried. This planet was lacking spiritual energy. The spirit stones, low grade immortal crystals and pills were only enough to get each of them to the Earthly Immortal Stage. Even if they choose to stay on this planet and spread his technique around, there wouldn''t be any way for others to cultivate them. With the weak energy inside mana stones, no one would be able to achieve success even if they cultivated for centuries. As the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang proceeded to their closed doors cultivation, Mo Wuji also prepared to go behind closed doors as well. There was still a remnant soul in his Undying World, and besides that, he needed to research on the Pan Clan''s legacy technique. Just as this moment, he felt the barrier that he left on Qian Zhicheng being ripped apart. From Mo Wuji''s perspective, Planet Heavenly Crow''s strongest expert would probably be the East Mon Archbishop Wu Dian. Mo Wuji was sure that not even Wu Dian could easily shatter his protective barrier. Moreover, Wu Dian had already been killed, which means that there was a stronger expert on this planet. Immediately, he also felt that his longsword was no longer with Qian Zhicheng. Mo Wuji, who originally wanted to go behind closed doors, now left An Jin City on a single step. ¡­ "Archbishop Bin, you can go kill the people now. But being that fella who was wielding this sword to me, I will be waiting for you at my living quarters." As he finished speaking, Hong Guang turned and prepared to leave. He was going to research on the seals and magic within the sword, to examine exactly what kind of person left it behind. It might have been from an ancient power, or there might truly be another cultivator like him on Planet Heavenly Crow. "You''re not going anywhere." Mo Wuji''s warm voice resounded. Hong Guang turned around in astonishment. "Who''s this dao friend?" Seeing Mo Wuji soundlessly appear here, Hong Guang''s entire skull went numb. He suspected that Mo Wuji''s power was much higher than his. When Mo Wuji arrived, he actually didn''t even feel any ripples in space. Soon, there was no need for him to suspect. Mo Wuji opened his palm, and without even using a skill, the longsword flew out of his hands and landed in Mo Wuji''s palm. "Senior¡­" Hong Guang''s grey face was now pale white. He regretted that he made this trip today. There was really another cultivator in this planet, and this cultivator was much, much stronger than him. Mo Wuji threw the longsword back to Qian Zhicheng, "Continue doing what you were doing. I will leave very soon, so your speed might get slower." When the longsword got snatched away by Hong Guang, Qian Zhicheng''s heart turned as cold as ash. He knew that without the longsword, it didn''t matter how many people he brought, they would all turn to dust in front of West Mon Church. Mo Wuji suddenly appeared, then threw the longsword back to him. This let him fully understand the phrase: to come back from death¡¯s door. Wasn¡¯t the explanation for that phrase exactly what he was experiencing now? "Yes, my lord." Qian Zhicheng bowed, his heart was ecstatic. "Greetings Lord." Many of the leaders beside Qian Zhicheng bowed down. They already faintly knew that there was a supreme expert behind Qian Zhicheng. Now, that supreme expert had showed himself, who would dare to show disrespect? Bin Lanxi actually charged over and kowtowed on the ground, "Bin Lanxi greets Master¡­" Mo Wuji already had an understanding towards mana. At this instant, as Bin Lanxi was right in front of him, he actually felt that Bin Lanxi''s power was far superior compared to the Wu Dian that he had killed. However, this person was clearly a devious and evil man. He had a faint aura of death around him, and this death aura wasn''t from Bin Lanxi himself, but from the people he killed. He had killed too many people, and more importantly, he killed without reason and simply out of fun. This was why there was such a disgusting death aura. Facing this sort of person, Mo Wuji couldn''t even be bothered to respond. He lifted his hand and shot out a wind blade. Even though Mo Wuji casually shot that wind blade, he never expected for Bin Lanxi to be able to avoid it. But in reality, Bin Lanxi was actually unable to avoid it. This wind blade merely sliced off one of Bin Lanxi''s arm. Bin Lanxi''s skin was originally very white, but as his arm got sliced off, his face turned even whiter. He continued to look towards Mo Wuji and said, "Master, Hong Guang had always been plotting against Planet Heavenly Crow. The reason why I lead the West Mon is because I hope for a day that I''m able to stop¡­" "Pff!" Mo Wuji lifted his hand and sent an energy blade over. Bin Lanxi''s fingers from his other hand slipped off his palm. "If it''s just this reason, then there''s no need for you to speak any further." Just because of the disgusting death aura around Bin Lanxi, Mo Wuji wasn''t going to spare his life. This sort of person would kill all live on this innocent planet and he wouldn''t even bat an eye. "Master, I also know of fire type planet. It''s not very far from our Planet Heavenly Crow. There is an absolute treasure there¡­" Bin Lanxi did not seem to have any intentions of stopping. The moment Hong Guang heard those words, his heart skipped a beat. He never expected for Bin Lanxi to have so many hidden cards. The reason why he was in Planet Heavenly Crow was because of that fire type planet that Bin Lanxi mentioned. Previously, he thought that he was the only one who knew of that planet. He never expected that a mere Archbishop would know that there was a fire type planet outside Planet Heavenly Crow. In reality, when he knew that Mo Wuji was far more powerful than him, Hong Guang started brainstorming for ways to preserve his own life. Now that his biggest secret was being revealed by Bin Lanxi, how could he accept that. He hurriedly said, "Senior, I know of a place with a Fire Elemental Bead¡­" The moment the three words ''Fire Elemental Bead¡¯ came out, Mo Wuji''s heart started pounding. Chapter 582: Origins Chapter 582: Origins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In the shortest time possible, Mo Wuji made his decision. He rushed and said to Qian Zhicheng, "I''ll leave this place to you. Be a good king and let the people have happy lives. Otherwise, you would just be another East Mon Church. Bring this message to my three disciples: ask them to continue to cultivate properly and find their own opportunities. They must not learn from the East Mon Church." When he finished saying that, Mo Wuji immediately grabbed Hong Guang and Bin Lanxi and took a step out, disappearing into the vast starry sky. "Yes, Qian Zhicheng will carefully remember immortal master''s words¡­" Even though Mo Wuji''s figure had already disappeared, Qian Zhicheng still kneeled on the ground and kowtowed. Behind, the other country leaders also kneeled on the ground. After seeing Mo Wuji''s terrifying sacred arts, none of them were without fear. Qian Zhicheng didn''t disappoint Mo Wuji''s expectations. After sweeping the West Mon, the first thing he did was expand An Jin City. At the same time, he established a grand plaza in An Jin City. At the center of that plaza, was a statue of Mo Wuji. At the same time, the longsword that Mo Wuji gave him was placed in a tall memorial tablet. This memorial tablet was next to the statue of Mo Wuji, and it was only slightly shorter than the statue. These were meant to be constant reminders to him of Mo Wuji''s words: to let the people have happy lives. Planet Heavenly Crow was wide and vast. Qian Zhicheng was also unable to govern the entire planet alone. Moreover, Mo Wuji only gave him the longsword to eliminate the East Mon Church. Naturally, there wouldn''t only be the Country of Liang left behind in Planet Heavenly Crow. Even thought there were many other countries in Planet Heavenly Crow, without exception, all of them had a statue of Mo Wuji, all in remembrance of Mo Wuji''s contribution to Planet Heavenly Crow. ¡­ Mo Wuji was already out of Planet Heavenly Crow. He had already left arrangements got the Pan siblings and Lou Yueshuang, and the matters in Planet Heavenly Crow had basically come to a conclusion. When he heard of the Fire Elemental Bead, Mo Wuji knew that he probably wouldn''t return back to Planet Heavenly Crow. That was why he left some words behind before he left. Standing at the front of the shuttle pointing out the directions, Hong Guang''s heart was in tenterhooks. Just based on this flying shuttle alone, he knew that Mo Wuji was much, much more powerful than him. Mo Wuji, however, didn''t care much about him. Instead, he stared at Bin Lanxi and asked, "What else do you know besides that fire type planet? And how did you even know of that planet?" Bin Lanxi was in constant worry over his little life. When he heard Mo Wuji''s question, he hurriedly said, "I once sat on a spaceship. I saw that fire type planet when I was on the spaceship. I have a spatial map here¡­" As he finished speaking, Bin Lanxi anxiously brought out a map which indicated the position of various planets. Even though Mo Wuji considered himself a techie, after he started cultivation, he developed a headache when he saw this sort of spatial map. Why couldn''t this thing be as simple as the cultivation world''s positioning balls? Just one crystal ball and everything was settled. Who would need to accurately plot all these information on huge pieces of paper? Mo Wuji frowned, "Just like this? You''re merely a mana cultivator, how would you even know what''s a fire type planet?" Bin Lanxi''s heart sank, if he wasn''t an ant in front of Mo Wuji, he would have already made a move. "Answering senior, that''s because Hong Guang had given me some pointers on cultivation. That''s why I know a thing or two," Bin Lanxi said, his voice trembling. "Then you have no value." As he said that, Mo Wuji grabbed Bin Lanxi and prepared to throw him out. Bin Lanxi urgently said, "Senior, I also know that Hong Guang has a witch race''s legacy technique on him¡­" Before Bin Lanxi had finished speaking, Hong Guang had already respectfully presented an ancient scroll to Mo Wuji. With a flick of his hand, Mo Wuji sent a wave of immortal elemental energy towards Bin Lanxi, shattering all his channels and bones. Then, he threw Bin Lanxi into the starry sky. He casually scanned through the scroll that Hong Guang handed him with his spiritual will. Indeed, it was exactly the same as the one Pan Jie gave him, just that the contents were different. This caused Mo Wuji to suspect that East Mon''s Wu Dian might also have such a scroll. However, he wasn''t in the mood to go back and search for it. Compared to the Fire Elemental Bead, the physique tempering could be placed to the side. Moreover, the introduction to the witch race''s physique tempering technique might be within one of these two scrolls." "You''re not bad. In a small cultivation world, you actually managed to get to the Golden Immortal Stage. Moreover, you''re a Golden Immortal who has yet to convert to immortal elemental energy. When it comes to talent, you''re really not bad. Say it then, where did you come from, and why are you saying in Planet Heavenly Crow?" Mo Wuji said after keeping the scroll that Hong Guang gave him. Mo Wuji wasn''t being sarcastic with his words. Not everyone could advance to the Golden Immortal Stage using ordinary spiritual energy, and not convert to immortal elemental energy. If Hong Guang''s elemental energy had been completely converted to immortal elemental energy, his power would multiply by several folds. Of course, no matter how strong Hong Guang got, he would still be an ant in front of Mo Wuji. Hong Guang had already witnessed Mo Wuji''s might, and he had also seen Mo Wuji''s methods. He had long given up the idea of resisting. When he heard Mo Wuji''s words, he hurriedly said, "I''m from Planet Heaven Union, that''s a cultivation planet. It''s not very far from here. If senior is interested, I can bring senior over¡­" Planet Heaven Union? Mo Wuji seemed to find those words familiar. It was just that he couldn''t remember where he saw this planet''s name. "Tell me about your origins. Don''t leave out a single bit," Mo Wuji said authoritatively. "Yes, yes. It was out of coincidence that I saw Planet Heavenly Crow on my way back to Planet Heaven Union. I discovered the mana working Planet Heavenly Crow. Using a certain method, it was possible to merge mana with spiritual energy, forming a much stronger elemental energy¡­" Hong Guang didn''t dare leave out a single bit of information. Since Mo Wuji could tell that he was a Golden Immortal, it meant that Mo Wuji''s cultivation was vastly higher than his. Mo Wuji frowned and said coldly, "No matter how strong that elemental energy is, how can it compare to immortal elemental energy? You''re simply taking your pants off just to fart, ah¡­" Mo Wuji seemed to recall something. After that ''ah¡¯, he immediately said, "Hurry and tell me your origin clearly." He had already recalled where he saw Planet Heaven Union. He even saw the name Hong Guang before. Hong Guang seemed to think that Mo Wuji was bipolar, so he anxiously explained, "After I ascended to the Immortal World, I offended someone there. That''s why I don''t dare to stay in the Immortal World. I spent much efforts to secretly leave. Fortunately, I haven''t converted to immortal elemental energy¡­" "You''re lying. If you dare speak another lie, there''s no need for you to speak any further. Let me remind you, you haven''t gone to the Immortal World," Mo Wuji coldly interrupted Hong Guang''s words. Hong Guang suddenly felt his skull turn numb. He seemed to be stripped naked and left on display. This guy in front of him was too acute, he didn''t seem to be able to lie to this person. "I seek Senior''s forgiveness. Because I was captured and placed in a prison. I was worried that senior was one of the people who imprisoned me¡­" Hong Guang hurriedly begged for forgiveness. Mo Wuji''s expression eased. He said faintly, "Seeing that you didn''t lie this time, I will give you the opportunity to explain everything that happened on Half Moon Prison. Don''t you dare to act dumb with me, because I''m very clear about your origins, Mi Hongguang." Hearing Mo Wuji saw the name ''Mi Hongguang¡¯, Hong Guang''s entire body seemed to be doused in icy cold water. He never thought that even his surname would be known by this person in front of him. Of course Mo Wuji knew the other party''s name. This fella was within the books that he obtained from Yong Ying 11th Prison. "Mi Hongguang, Planet Heaven Union cultivator, Six Star Genius. Yong Ying Calendar Year 7691, 2nd day of the 6th month, advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying 11th Prison, Room 87. Slow but honest personality¡­" This was recorded in Yong Ying Prison. However, Mo Wuji would never believe that this fella was slow and honest. This fella was simply sly like a fox; that was completely different from a slow and honest personality. "Senior, junior is indeed called Mo Hongguang. Just when I advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage, I was captured and sent to Yong Ying Prison. In Yong Ying Prison, I acted simple and honest, and I managed to deceive them. Up till a few thousand years later, a person called Meng Yinsan came to Yong Ying 11th Prison¡­" Mo Wuji nodded, "I know of that Meng Yinsan. Tell me, how did that Meng Yinsan break out of Yong Ying 11th Prison, and where did he go?" Mi Hongguang was no longer surprised at Mo Wuji''s knowledge of such things. He hurriedly said, "I don''t know where Meng Yinsan went, but it was true that he was the one who broke out of Half Moon Prison. He killed the warden of Half Moon Prison, opening the entrance to Half Moon Prison. When many cultivators got wind of that, they all started to escape; I''m just one of the many. There were also some who didn''t manage to escape and they ended up dying in their rooms." Mo Wuji said solemnly, "I already know of what you''re saying. Tell me something I don''t know, like why didn''t Meng Yinsan refine Half Moon Prison? Also, how did you manage to get back to Planet Heaven Union?" Mi Hongguang''s mouth went agape. Unfortunately, he also didn''t know why Meng Yinsan didn''t refine Half Moon Prison. After some time, he answered with a bit of worry, "Using a map that I had, I roamed around the universe for several thousand years and I finally came back to Planet Heaven Union''s system. It was also because of this that I came to find Planet Heavenly Crow." "What were you doing in Planet Heavenly Crow?" Mo Wuji was slightly disappointed. He was rather curious about Meng Yinsan and he wanted to know how godly that fella was exactly. As a Heavenly Immortal, he managed to kill several Golden Immortals, and even Xuan Immortals, to escape from Half Moon Prison. Mi Hongguang wanted to lie, but he personally witnessed Mo Wuji''s sacred art which could see through lies. Mo Wuji even knew about his situation in Half Moon Prison, so what else could he lie about? "I first saw the Fire Elemental Bead. Then, I thought of refining Planet Heavenly Crow, to use it as a defensive treasure to retrieve the Fire Elemental Bead¡­" When Mo Wuji heard these words, he could not help but sigh inwardly. This fella was truly too vicious. Because of that greed, he waa going to send billions of people to their graves. Even if the refining process didn''t kill everyone on Planet Heavenly Crow, the planet would probably be incinerated during the process of retrieving the Fire Elemental Bead. "You also don''t have any value in living." Mo Wuji directly grabbed Mi Hongguang and with a spit of immortal elemental energy, Mi Hongguang''s primordial spirit was shattered. After keeping Mi Hongguang''s storage ring, he threw Mi Hongguang into the starry space. By this point, he could already feel the faint energy from the Fire Elemental Bead. He guessed that he was approaching the fire type planet. Chapter 583: The Person Protecting The Planet Chapter 583: The Person Protecting The Planet Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji did not check Hong Guang''s storage ring. Sensing the searing hot energy, he knew he was soon going to find a huge fire planet. Compared to the fire planet (Mars) back when he was on Earth, which was only called that in name, this fire planet was a true planet of fire. It was covered in flames and it was incomparably huge. Even with Mo Wuji''s power, he couldn''t approach it easily. From the looks of it, he had killed that Mi Hongguang too early. Even if he refined Planet Heavenly Crow, it wouldn''t be enough to enter such a terrifyingly hot planet. Even if he recovered his cultivation and developed himself in his Scholar''s Heart, it would still be a little difficult for him to enter this planet. Unless he refined the Book of Luo and use its protection to enter this planet and obtain the Fire Elemental Bead. Refining the Book of Luo and recovering his cultivation wasn''t especially difficult for Mo Wuji. His main problem now was that the more he looked at the planet, the more peculiar he found it. He even felt a sense of familiarity. Why this this fire planet evoke a sense of familiarity? There was only one answer: the Sun. He had lived on Earth for countless years. The reason why Earth could sustain life could partly be attributed to the Sun. Mo Wuji''s heart sank. It wouldn''t be such a coincidence right? It would ready be a huge coincidence if he landed in the Milky Way. It would be a coincidence within a coincidence if he encountered the Sun. One must know that there are many are stars like the Sun in the Milky Way, it was simply too many to count. If it was really the Sun, then he would only be one to two hundred billion meters away from Earth. This sort of distance was an insurmountable distance to ordinary people. But to Mo Wuji and his Grade 7 flying treasure, it wasn''t considered far. In other words, if this was really the Sun, it would mean that he could return back to Earth. However, Mo Wuji wasn''t very happy. It wasn''t because this was the Sun and he couldn''t remove the Fire Elemental Bead. But because if this was really the Sun, then things would be bad. If Hong Guang could discover this planet, it means that others could to. He could ignore it, but that didn''t mean that others would. Even a cultivator like Hong Guang was willing to sacrifice billions of lives on Planet Heavenly Crow just to get near this planet. If there were cultivators similar to him, why would they care that this Sun was sustaining life on Earth and leave it be? Just when Mo Wuji was thinking of how he could protect this Sun, a figure flashed towards him. Mo Wuji''s hand extended and his saber appeared in his palm. With the help of his vitality channel, his injuries had already recovered. If not because he was worried about the pressures from the Law of the Heaven and Earth, he would have recovered his cultivation to the Xuan Immortal Stage a long time ago. Now that he met another cultivator, Mo Wuji remained fearless. If he was unable to beat this cultivator, he would at least be able to escape. "Did this dao friend come because of Morning Flame Star?" A man approached Mo Wuji on a flying ship. He clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had experienced many things in the Immortal World. The moment this man appeared, Mo Wuji could tell that the other party''s cultivation should be at the Golden Immortal Stage. This cultivator¡¯s elemental energy should already be completely converted to immortal elemental energy, which was why his cultivation had been suppressed to the late Heavenly Immortal Stage. When it came to combat power, this person was much stronger than Mi Hongguang, who hadn''t converted to immortal elemental energy. However, in front of Mo Wuji, he was still nothing much. "Morning Flame Star?" Mo Wuji kept his saber and looked at this man in confusion. This really wasn''t the Sun? He soon came to an understanding that even if it was the Sun, different people might have different ways of calling it. The man clasped his fists and said in a sincere tone, "That''s right. This planet is called Morning Flame Star. A few hundred billion meters from here, there''s Planet Green which has hundreds of billions of human lives, and that''s because of this Morning Flame Star. I also know this planet has a Fire Elemental Bead, but that bead really cannot be taken away. The moment it gets removed, Morning Flame Star will gradually wither. At the same time, Planet Green will fall into darkness and life will cease to exist." "Planet Green?" Mo Wuji muttered to himself. This really isn''t the Sun? Seeing Mo Wuji''s silence, this man continued, "I was from Planet Green, my name is Min Zhi, and I have been here for over two thousand years." "Could it be that you''re staying here to protect Morning Flame Star?" Mo Wuji cried in exclamation. Min Zhi nodded, "Yes. Recently, there have been people eyeing Morning Flame Star. As a cultivator from Planet Green, I definitely cannot allow people to destroy Morning Flame Star." "Is that Planet Green a cultivation planet?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Min Zhi shook his head, "No, Planet Green is an ordinary mortal planet. The reason why I could become a Golden Immortal was due to an opportunity I obtained by fate, which set me on the path to cultivation. Because I''m the only cultivator in Planet Green, I''m the only one who can protect Morning Flame Star." Min Zhi¡¯s voice was sincere and filled with resolution. When Mo Wuji heard all this, he was filled with respect. Whether it was the cultivation world or the Immortal World, people like Min Zhi were simply too rare. Even Lin Gu''s willingness to sacrifice herself was because she wanted to save her mother. A person who was willing to dedicate himself to protecting his planet was a completely different concept. Moreover, the people of Planet Green might not know of his self-sacrifice; he''s the silent light shining over all of them. At the same time, Mo Wuji also guessed that he was wrong; this star was similar but it wasn''t the Sun. However, its function was roughly the same as the Sun. "Dao Friend Min Zhi, I am called Mo Wuji. I wonder whether dao friend has a spatial map that you can show me. I seem to be lost," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said in an extremely courteous manner. Seemingly not noticing Mo Wuji''s astonishment, Min Zhi handed a positioning ball to Mo Wuji and said, "Dao Friend Mo, I created this myself. It''s a little crude." Mo Wuji hurriedly expressed his thanks and accepted the positioning ball. After seeing the positioning ball, he was sure that he was wrong. This wasn''t the Sun. Around this Morning Flame Star, there were 36 other planets. This definitely wasn''t the Solar System. What left Mo Wuji pleasantly surprised was that this spatial positioning ball also had the positions of nearby systems. Clearly, this Min Zhi had been put some effort into this. "Dao Friend Min Zhi, fan you sell this positioning ball to me? I''m exactly lacking this kind of positioning ball," Mo Wuji asked, feeling rather awkward. He was lost in space. With this positioning ball, at least he wouldn''t be wondering around this galaxy aimlessly. Min Zhi could feel that Mo Wuji wasn''t a person who coveted the Fire Elemental Bead, so he promptly replied, "A mete positioning ball means nothing. Dao Friend Mo, feel free to take it." Mo Wuji still retrieved a storage ring and handed it to Min Zhi, "Dao Friend Min, there''s some cultivation resources that I managed to obtain. I''m giving them to you." Min Zhi had always thought that Mo Wuji''s cultivation was not comparable to his, probably at the Earthly Immortal Stage at the most. The reason why he was so courteous to Mo Wuji was because of his humble character. He had never felt that he wouldn''t be able to beat Mo Wuji. The cultivation resources that Mo Wuji gave him were basically useless. He didn''t even take a look inside the ring as he returned it to Mo Wuji, "Many thanks Dao Friend Mo, but I really don''t need this." Mo Wuji could tell what was on Min Zhi''s mind. He laughed, "Perhaps it might be of use to you. Since we''re all friends, now that I took your item, it''s normal for me to give you something in return." If it was purely to befriend him, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have given Min Zhi so many things. He was moved by Min Zhi''s spirit. At this instant, he even wanted to go back to the Sun and see if anyone was protecting it. Unfortunately, he didn''t have the ability to go back. "Then, alright¡­" Min Zhi could feel Mo Wuji''s sincerity, so he accepted the ring. He also casually sent his spiritual will inside. When he saw the huge pile of immortal crystals and immortal pills, his hand started trembling. He almost dropped the jade vase in his hands. Immediately, he returned the ring back to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, this is truly too much. I can''t accept this." A thin layer of cold sweat seeped out the back of his neck. The reason why he had been so calm previously was because he knew that his power was vastly more than Mo Wuji¡¯s and that he could defend against Mo Wuji if need be. But when he saw the things that Mo Wuji gave him, he knew that he was wrong. His power wasn''t vastly more than Mo Wuji''s, but Mo Wuji''s power was vastly more than his. The reason why he had cold sweat wasn''t because he was worried that Mo Wuji could have killed him, but because Mo Wuji was handing these stuff over in exchange for the Fire Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji passed the storage ring back to Min Zhi and said, "Dao Friend Min, we''re all friends here. These things are just a little token of my appreciation. There''s no need to talk about how Morning Flame Star is being protected by you. It is the life star of Planet Green, so even if you weren''t here, I, Mo Wuji, wouldn''t touch it." Min Zhi took a deep breath and bowed deeply towards Mo Wuji, "Many thanks for Brother Mo''s magnanimity. I always thought that my ability was enough to defend Morning Flame Star, but today when Brother Mo arrived, I came to know that my ability is far from enough." Previously, Min Zhi''s thoughts were really true. It was entire out of coincidence that Mo Wuji was able to come to this place. Usually, the cultivators in the region were people from the cultivation world. There were extremely few immortals from the Immortal World. As a Golden Immortal, he had no need to few any cultivators from the cultivation world. Moreover, the temperature of Morning Flame Star was too high; average cultivators wouldn''t even be able to approach it. He stayed here to stop people who intend to use malicious methods to extinguish Morning Flame Star. Mo Wujj waved his hand and said, "It''s also due to coincidence that I came here. Don''t mind me speaking too much, but Brother Min Zhi, when you have good intentions, there would occasionally be powerful experts entering this space. If there are experts that are roughly the same cultivation as me, then I''m afraid you might not be able to defend it." Min Zhi sighed, "I know that too. It''s just that this Fire Elemental Bead was formed naturally. You know it too, when a fire type planet gives birth to a Fire Elemental Bead, the two will merge completely. If no one covets it, Morning Flame Star having a Fire Elemental Bead would be a great thing for Planet Green. Unfortunately, it seems like it is now a calamity." Mo Wuji sighed as well, he really couldn''t help with this kind of thing. Moreover, he was sure that eventually, Morning Flame Star would be destroyed and the Fire Elemental Bead robbed. He could only say, "Min Zhi, I don''t know what I can advise you. But if anything happens, you can find my store. I opened a pill house in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins called Tian Ji Pill Court¡­ Eh, that''s not right¡­" Chapter 584: Dao Friend Please Stop Chapter 584: Dao Friend Please Stop Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Brother Mo, what''s not right?" Min Zhi looked at Mo Wuji, confused. Mo Wuji pointed towards the distant Morning Flame Star and said, "Dao Friend Min, you just said that the Fire Elemental Bead formed not long ago. That means it wasn''t there from the start?" When Min Zhi heard this, he said with certainty, "Yes, that Fire Elemental Bead formed not more than 5,000 years ago. Is anything the matter?" Mo Wuji answered, "Of course. The Fire Elemental Bead is formed from the pure fire essence when the Heavens and Earths open. It''s something which can only form after countless ages. How could it form on a few thousand years?" After knowing that his Undying World required the five Elemental Beads, Mo Wuji began researching on their formation. Before doing research, he really wouldn''t know it. But after specially learning about the five Elemental Beads, he came to know about the extreme difficulty in their formation. Moreover, it could only be formed with primordial elemental essence; it definitely wouldn''t form in a few thousand years. Min Zhi was able to cultivate to such a level on an ordinary mortal planet, so he naturally wasn''t a fool. The moment Mo Wuji said those words, he immediately came to an understanding. He said in shock, "Brother Mo, you''re saying that nearby¡­" Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right. There should be a source of primordial fire elemental energy nearby. That fire elemental energy was originally going to condense a Fire Elemental Bead, but with Morning Flame Star in the proximity, the Fire Elemental Bead condensed fully by itself." Mo Wuji''s words were very clear: near this Morning Flame Star, there was a Heaven and Earth opening. The Xiantian fire merged with the Morning Flame Star, forming the Fire Elemental Bead. Wouldn''t that mean that there might be leftover energy? However, according to logic, there shouldn''t be much remnants. "Dao Friend Min, you''ve been here for many years. You''ve even know of the condensation of the Fire Elemental Bead. Do you know of any other peculiarities in this area?" Mo Wuji asked urgently. Min Zhi had stayed in the region for thousands of years; Min Zhi''s understanding towards this space would definitely be more than his. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Min Zhi immediately thought of something and he said, "Brother Mo, there''s really a matter. Before the Fire Elemental Bead appeared, I researched on the Morning Flame Star System. In Morning Flame Star System, there were originally 37 planets. But all of a sudden, one of the planets exploded and moved away, leaving behind 36 planets. During that time, I didn''t care too much about it. After all, 36 corresponded with the number of Heavenly Generals. [1] If what Brother Mo says is true, then it might really be that planet." "Then Dao Friend Min, can you tell me what happened to that exploded planet?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. "Brother Mo, you''re going to chase after that planet? It has already been gone for several thousands of years¡­" Min Zhi exclaimed in shock; Mo Wuji''s words were slightly absurd. What was cultivation? Besides innate talent, one required opportunity. The so called opportunity, to many people, is the bit of chance to obtain some cultivation resources. In the cultivation world, if cultivators met the opportunity to get treasures, they called it fate. To a cultivator, the greatness of their fate would possibly affect their future accomplishments. Mo Wuji came from Earth. He was a greater believer of hard work. Some times, his opportunities of great fate was a result of his hard work. Through hard work, he created that opportunity. If one didn''t work hard, then he would never have the opportunity. Just like that planet that exploded and moved away, an average person would give up all hope after hearing that it was gone for thousands of years. Mo Wuji, however, still wanted to take a look. Even though there were cultivators in space, they were in small amounts. Perhaps after these thousands of years, the remnants of that planet might not have been discovered. Perhaps he might be the one to get it? Mo Wuji laughed, "Dao Friend Min, I''m already lost in space with no clue on how I can return to the Immortal World. While I''m searching for a way back, I don''t have anything much to do. So I might as well try my luck." Min Zhi immediately bowed to Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo is principled and farsighted. You will always be my, Min Zhi''s, role model. Brother Mo, please take out that positioning ball, I will point the position to Brother Mo." These words of Min Zhi were truly out of respect. From Mo Wuji''s words, he knew that Mo Wuji was extremely persistent in his pursuit for cultivation and opportunities. He could also tell that the Fire Elemental Bead was very important to Mo Wuji. Even so, Mo Wuji still had his principles which he adhered to. He was willing to go search for a destroyed planet that had already moved off thousands of years ago, for a primordial fire essence which might not exist, instead of directly taking the one right at Morning Flame Star. This was even after he knew clearly that another expert might destroy Morning Flame Star for it anyway. Moreover, Min Zhi could also feel Mo Wuji''s respect for him, and Mo Wuji was not a single bit petty, giving him, a stranger, so many precious things. Only such a person was worth responding. Why did he, Min Zhi, stay to protect Morning Flame Star for? It''s because Morning Flame Star is the light for Planet Green; it''s the star that sustains life on Planet Green. As a person from Planet Green, it was natural for him to protect Morning Flame Star. However, Mo Wuji had completely no relations to Planet Green, but he still wasn''t willing to lay his hands on Morning Flame Star. That''s because of Mo Wuji''s principles. Min Zhi had also met with some cultivators from the Immortal World. He knew that to those cultivators, there was no need to talk about hundred billion mortals, even if it was ten times that amount, they still wouldn''t place the planet in their regard because of the Fire Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji immediately retrieved the positioning ball that Min Zhi gave him. The positions on the positioning ball were very clear. On it, there was the position of Morning Flame Star, as well as the 36 planets. That included Planet Green. Min Zhi''s spiritual will quickly entered into the positioning ball and he soon pointed to an empty patch of space and said, "This is where the planet exploded and this is the path that the planet took according to its trajectory after the explosion. This planet should already be out of the Morning Flame Star System." As he spoke, Min Zhi had already drawn the rough direction taken by the planet on the positioning ball. Mo Wuji kept the positioning ball, then clasped his fists towards Min Zhi and said, "Many thanks Dao Friend Min for your help. In the future, if you have the chance to go to the Immortal World, remember to find me if you need any help. I will take my leave now, we will meet again in the future." When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he brought out his flying shuttle and he soon disappeared into the empty space. Looking at the direction that Mo Wuji disappeared in, Min Zhi muttered to himself, "Truly a peculiar person. If I do have a chance to go to the Immortal World again, I must definitely pay a visit to Brother Mo." ¡­ Mo Wuji''s flying shuttle moved extremely quickly. In less than half a half, he exited Morning Flame Star System and entered a completely new space. His time in space was indefinite, so Mo Wuji naturally wouldn''t spend all his time rushing. According to the direction that the planet remnants moved in, he installed an array which allowed his flying shuttle to move by itself. He, himself, focused on his recovery. He wanted to know whether recovering his cultivation would incite the pressure from the Heaven and Earth. The moment he felt the great pressure, he would immediately restrain his cultivation. If not for the pressure of the Heaven and Earth, it would definitely be a good thing to recover his cultivation. In just a few days, Mo Wuji managed to recover his cultivation back to the Xuan Immortal Stage. What left Mo Wuji pleasantly surprised was that after he recovered his cultivation, he still didn''t feel any sort of pressure. There was only two possibilities why this happened. One, this place was on the same level as the Immortal World and his power wouldn''t even need to be suppressed. Two, because of his meridian cultivation method, he wouldn''t even feel any sort of Heaven and Earth pressure. If it was really the latter, then it was simply a startling piece of news. Mo Wuji allowed the flying shuttle to continue flying as he entered his Undying World. Every since he was brought away from the spatial tear at the bottom of the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, this was Mo Wuji''s first time in his Undying World. "Dao Friend, please spare my life." The moment Mo Wuji entered, Zhu Cai¡¯s soul cried out. Mo Wuji removed his Scholar''s Heart and began to size up this discarnate soul. To be honest, a soul was able to condense itself to such a degree was amazing; even Mo Wuji was impressed with this soul''s ability. "You wanted to devour my dao companion, and you even got me to this place. If not because of my methods, I would already have been screwed by you. It''s impossible for me to spare you. I''m contemplating on whether I should use my fire to slowly burn you to ash, or use a soul refining method to bring you to eternal death," Mo Wuji''s tone was not kind as he said this. In reality, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t do that. He hated troublesome things. To kill this soul, he only needed a ball of flame to solve the problem. Why would he go through so much trouble. The reason why he said that was because he knew this old thing definitely had some secrets. A soul without secrets definitely wouldn''t get so strong. "I can pass you a soul forging art. I am able to leave to this day because of that soul forging art," Zhu Cai said hurriedly. "Inscribe it for me to see¡­" Mo Wuji threw an empty jade letter to Zhu Cai. One look at Zhu Cai and he knew that there was nothing on that soul. Zhu Cai did not have a bit of hesitation as he immediately inscribed on that jade letter. After Mo Wuji saw the jade letter, his heart was shaking in shock. It is truly a huge world, and there are definitely countless geniuses. To be able to think of this soul forging technique, this person must definitely be a genius. He was also a genius, otherwise, he wouldn''t have created the meridian cultivation method. However, he was still shocked still by this soul tempering method. It was definitely a priceless treasure. Zhu Cai clearly believed that this method was enough for him to escape with his life. Because he had only inscribed the introduction of the soul forging art. There were no further descriptions. From the looks of it, Zhu Cai was very self confident. He was sure that Mo Wuji would be tempted with he revealed this soul tempering technique. If it was an average person, they could indeed be tempted. Because this was definitely a supreme soul tempering technique. The moment one was successful with it, then he would never die. Unfortunately, he met Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji directly kept the jade letter and he didn''t even ask anything about the exact details at the back. He only said indifferently, "On account of this jade letter, I will not slowly burn you to death. You can die peacefully." Seeing Mo Wuji lift his hand, Zhu Cai cried out shrilly, "Dao friend, please stop." [1] The 36 Heavenly Generals are the deities that vanquish demons from Chinese myth. Chapter 585: The Ship With English On It Chapter 585: The Ship With English On It Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Oh, do you still have something to say?" Mo Wuji said indifferently. Mo Wuji was clear that when facing this sort of cunning soul, unless death was right next to his face, it would be hard to get anything of true value from him. Preciously, this fella knew that his soul tempering method could not be hidden, which was why he revealed it. Even so, this fella only inscribed the simply introduction. "Dao friend, if I''m not wrong, dao friend must have fallen fallen into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, and perhaps even the Yin Underworld Whirlpool. The fact that you survived must definitely be because you entered a spatial tear. Usually, anyone who entered a spatial tear would find it very hard to get back to the Immortal World. Even though I, Zhu Cai, am only left with a soul, I''ve been to many places. Wait till my soul condenses, I can find a path back to the Immortal World." Zhu Cai said calmly. When Mo Wuji heard Zhu Cai¡¯s tone, he knew that this fella was bent on bargaining with himself. That''s the right way, Zhu Cai this old thing, must definitely have been afraid that he would simply be killed without a chance to talk, just like what Mo Wuji did to him previously. Mo Wuji even started to suspect that Zhu Cai''s first plead for mercy was an act, all to get Mo Wuji to lower his guard. Mo Wuji thew the jade letter back out and said calmly, "Tell me about the method to get back to the Immortal World, and finish inscribing the soul tempering method." Zhu Cai was not flustered, "Dao Friend, we still haven''t discussed the conditions. I, Zhu Cai, only want to preserve my life. Even if you want to place a soul imprint on my soul, it''s also possible." The moment a soul imprint was placed, it would mean that his life was placed in Mo Wuji''s hands. With a single thought, Mo Wuji could kill him. Back in the cultivation world, Chanse gave a soul imprint to Mo Wuji and became Mo Wuji''s servant. However, Mo Wuji trusted Chanse. He definitely wouldn''t trust this Zhu Cai. This person''s heart was unfathomably deep and terrifying; this fella was basically a ticking time bomb. They were now in his Undying World. The moment they left the Undying World, Mo Wuji guessed that his schemes would not win over this person''s. Other people''s soul imprint could control that person''s soul. However, this Zhu Cai''s soul imprint did not seem trustable. This person was an expert with tempering the soul; it would be weird if his soul imprint could be trusted. This fella had been in the Undying World for so long; he would definitely know about his Breath of Hongmeng. Keeping him was truly too dangerous. Mo Wuji threw a ball of Scholar''s Heart out, "I''ve never thought of discussing any conditions with you." The "Pss!" sound of a burning soul could be heard. Zhu Cai cried our on pain, "You can''t kill me. You will regret it if you kill me. I know where the other pages of the Book of Luo are¡­" When Mo Wuji heard these words, his killing intent only got even heavier; this fella knew too much. If this fella knew about the Book of Luo just because he managed to get to this world safely through the spatial tear, then he''s truly too terrifying. Because at that time, even he, himself, was disoriented and didn''t know what was going on. "Crackle¡­" After the ''pss¡¯ sounds, came the crackling sounds of the soul ending. With the power of the Scholar''s Heart, Zhu Cai''s soul had completed dispersed into nothingness. At the instant that Zhu Cai''s soul dissipated, he only felt regret. In reality, Mo Wuji''s guess was not wrong. After being sent into the Undying World, Zhu Cai really wasn''t scared. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised. He never thought that Mo Wuji would have such fate. What did he see in the Undying World? Underworld Heart Flower, billion year Immortal Wood Marrow, and even a Heavenly Wood Cane¡­ All these didn''t even count for much. What left Zhu Cai shocked was when he felt Mo Wuji''s Undying World. A mere Xuan Immortal was able to create his own world, how amazing must his cultivation technique be? Moreover, this world had already merged with the Earth Elemental Bead and the Metal Elemental Bead. Actually, this also didn''t count for much. What left Zhu Cai''s heart boiling was the Breath of Hongmeng. He would risk his life for any one of these things, and now, they were actually all gathered in one place. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji controlled the Undying World. Even if the Undying World wasn''t under Mo Wuji''s control, he would still find ways to get close to Mo Wuji. In his eyes, Mo Wuji was a mere Xuan Immortal ant. That bit of intelligence that Mo Wuji had probably wasn''t even worth looking at. When the time comes for him to take all these things away, Mo Wuji will even help him carry them. However, all these thoughts disappeared. He never expected for Mo Wuji to be so decisive. To not even care about the soul tempering method and simply destroy him. After Zhu Cai''s soul turned into nothingness, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Zhu Cai had a lot of things on his memories; as long as he spent time grinding, he would be able to get all of them out. However, he wasn''t willing to do that. He had too many other things to settle, and he had lots of things to cultivate. Why would he have the time to spend on a cunning soul? After destroying Zhu Cai, Mo Wuji left his Undying World and returned to his flying shuttle. Now, what he wanted to do was to research on the two ancient scrolls left behind by the witch race. Mo Wuji brought both scrolls out. Indeed, they were from the same origins. Hong Guang¡¯s scroll was not a physique tempering technique, however. It was a sort of strength increasing method, and the scroll was damaged and incomplete. On the other hand, the scroll that Pan Jie left him was indeed the witch race¡¯s physique tempering technique. And this physique tempering technique was compatible with the strength increasing method. If Zhu Cai''s soul tempering technique was considered the peak of sacred arts, then the witch race''s legacy physique tempering technique could also be considered to be at the peak as well. Even though Mo Wuji had yet to cultivate yet, he could feel that this physique tempering technique was not simple. This physique tempering legacy was definitely created with meticulous care and it was complete. However, it wasn¡¯t completely suitable for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji decided to modify this technique according to his meridian cultivation technique. ¡­ Whether it was in space, or during cultivation, time was being spent like crazy. Mo Wuji also knew that even if he cultivated, it would be hard for him to advance in a short period of time. Thus, after he obtained the witch race¡¯s physique tempering technique, he had engrossed himself in modifying the technique. His experience was limited, so with every revision he made, he would try it out by circulating it through a small circulation path. Years passed in a flash. If his flying shuttle had not shook abruptly, Mo Wuji would still be engrossed with perfecting the physique tempering technique. Mo Wuji had installed an array at the front of his flying shuttle. Unless someone attacked, it would automatically avoid any loose meteors and continue moving in the direction. Now that his flying shuttle had been hit, clearly, it was attacked. Mo Wuji landed at the front of his flying shuttle; his heart enraged. His flying shuttle had been speeding and minding its own business, so it was impossible for it to have offended anyone. But now, someone actually attacked his flying shuttle. Mo Wuji instantly sent his spiritual will sweeping outwards; he actually saw two flying ships in his spiritual will. No, it would be more accurate to say two entirely different flying ships. One of the flying ships was the same as his; it was a magic treasure. If it was simply a magic treasure, then it wouldn¡¯t be anything much. But what left Mo Wuji shocked was that the grade of this flying ship was very high; it might even be higher than his Grade 7 immortal flying shuttle. In other words, if he wasn¡¯t the other party¡¯s opponent, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to escape with his Grade 7 flying shuttle. The other ship was actually a spaceship; it was a product of technology. What left Mo Wuji stunned was that at the exterior of the spaceship, he saw some familiar letters, "UNIONYF07." The YF07 at the back didn¡¯t matter. The key thing was the English word ¡®union¡¯ at the front. Mo Wuji did not know what happened on Earth all these years, but he was quite sure that this spaceship was from Earth. However, after a quick sweep with his spiritual will, he found that there wasn¡¯t any signs of life inside the spaceship. It was a mess within the ship; clearly, something had invaded and a battle occured. Seeing the spaceship from Earth, even though there wasn¡¯t any trace of life, Mo Wuji was still very excited. However, at this point, he didn¡¯t have time to investigate that spaceship. Instead, his eyes had landed on the immortal flying ship that was slowly approaching him. He was sure that the thing that laid hands on him was this immortal flying ship. A gold robed youth with a gloomy expression walked out from the ship. His eyes were fixed on Mo Wuji. This was an expert; Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell this this fella was very likely an Immortal King, or even an Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji took a deep breath and retrieved his saber. Against expectations, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t really afraid. Because he could tell that this Immortal King¡¯s cultivation had been suppressed; at this point, he was roughly equivalent to a Golden Immortal. However, Mo Wuji did not believe that this Immortal King¡¯s cultivation had been suppressed by some more powerful expert. Instead, he believed that this Immortal King had suppressed his own cultivation. This actually left Mo Wuji feeling a little relaxed. This meant that his meridian cultivation technique really didn¡¯t need to feel the pressures from the Heaven and Earth. This was very likely due to his 108 meridians or his Undying World; his 108 meridians formed a Heaven and Earth circulation within his own body, while his Undying World was an independent Heaven and Earth of its own. "Who are you?" The gold robed youth sized Mo Wuji up, then he asked with a gloomy tone. As for the saber in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand, he didn¡¯t even place it in his eyes. Mo Wuji said calmly, "Who I am isn¡¯t important. The important thing was that I was rushing somewhere. I didn¡¯t do anything to offend this sir, but this sir attacked me for no reason. Isn¡¯t that too tyrannical? So I request this sir to give me a reason." Even though this gold robed youth had acted on him, Mo Wuji knew that the event that occured on that union spaceship shouldn¡¯t be related to this gold robed youth. This sort of expert definitely wouldn¡¯t charge into a spaceship and fight with some mortals. If this expert wanted to destroy that spaceship, he had many different methods. "Haha¡­." The gold robed youth chuckled, "this is the first time, I, Jin Yiren actually got questioned. And it¡¯s by a trashy little ant." Mo Wuji said with contempt, "If I¡¯m trashy, then you¡¯re not anything better." In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, they were both from the Immortal World; no one was more dignified than the other. Jin Yiren said indifferently, "Could you have thought that just because you¡¯re from the Immortal World, then you aren¡¯t trashy? An ant is still an ant. Your sky is only as big as the opening of your well." Chapter 586: 11 Fire-Red Crystals Chapter 586: 11 Fire-Red Crystals Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Jin Yiren said these words, Mo Wuji came to realise that he was really sitting in a well. Jin Yiren, who he had clearly suppressed in cultivation, was now soaring rapidly in power and cultivation. Soon, Jin Yiren went from the early Golden Immortal Stage to the late stage, then to Xuan Immortal¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank as he prepared to escape. This fella did not even need to recover his full cultivation; as this fella was able to recover back to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, then there was a possibility that he could be killed. An Immortal Reverent with a cultivation suppressed to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage versus a cultivator that was only at the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, were at two completely different levels. Overbearing killing intent had locked Mo Wuji in place. Mo Wuji directly kept his flying shuttle; his flying shuttle would be completely useless in front of this fella. Fortunately, he had his spatial teleportation and his Wind Escape Sacred Art. Jin Yiren was able to display a Xuan Immortal cultivation without feeling the suppressions from the Law of the Heavens and Earths; Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a half bit surprised. The universe was so vast and there were countless of geniuses. If he, Mo Wuji, was able to achieve something, then why wouldn¡¯t others be able to do the same? Mo Wuji knew that the other party¡¯s killing intent had locked onto him; he had no chance to escape, and could only wait for an opportunity. The moment the other party attacked, there would definitely be a loophole. After he defended against the other party¡¯s first attack, he would immediately escape. What left Mo Wuji shocked was that when Jin Yiren was about the attack, the killing intent and energy that were locked onto him had suddenly become weaker. To Mo Wuji, this was the best time to escape. But Mo Wuji didn¡¯t escape. He could feel that Jin Yiren¡¯s cultivation would stop increasing when it reached the late Xuan Immortal Stage; Mo Wuji suspected that this fella wasn¡¯t able to casually bring his cultivation to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. However, Mo Wuji knew that the reason why Jin Yiren¡¯s killing intent weakened wasn¡¯t because Jin Yiren was afraid of him, or because Jin Yiren thought the late Xuan Immortal Stage wasn¡¯t enough to deal with him. It was because Jin Yiren¡¯s attention had been diverted. Mo Wuji also sent his spiritual will scanning outwards. Soon, at the edge of his spiritual will, a hazy figure of a planet appeared. It seemed to be a collapsed planet; this planet¡¯s speed could not be considered slow as it continued to sail along space. On the surface, it looked like an explosion had occured on this planet, causing it lose a huge half of itself. Such incidents were frequently seen as one travelled in space; however, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started to pound heavily. He thought about the planet that moved away from the Morning Flame Star System after it exploded. If this was the planet that he was looking for, then the secret of the Heaven and Earth opening could be found within it. Otherwise, how was the Morning Flame Star able to condense a Fire Elemental Bead? "Chi!" A beam of shredding blade light sailed throught space towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had long been on the guard against Jin Yiren. The moment Jin Yiren attacked, his figure flashed, and the saber in his hand hacked out two beams of saber light. One of the saber light went to block that blade light, while the other saber light hacked towards Jin Yiren. Seeing that Mo Wuji was not only able to block against his blade light, but was even able to counterattack, Jin Yiren cried out in alarm. WIth his two hands, he formed a hand seal in the form of the Yin Yang Fish which he shot towards Mo Wuji¡¯s second saber light. Then, his entire person instantly disappeared. "Boom!" The Yin Yang Fish clashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s saber light heavily. Immortal elemental energy violently exploded. Mo Wuji felt like a heavy hammer had smashed against his chest, making him feel breathless and incomparably unbearable. So strong; Mo Wuji uttered in his heart. He knew that Jin Yiren had casually formed that Yin Yang Fish, but even that casual attack was already so strong. Clearly, Jin Yiren was remarkably strong. However, even if Jin Yiren was stronger, it wouldn¡¯t stop Mo Wuji from his Heaven and Earth opening treasure; He hurriedly chased after Jin Yiren. As he passed by that spaceship with the english word on it, he waved his hand and casually sent that spaceship into his Undying World. He did not believe that Jin Yiren ran away because Jin Yiren was afraid of him; because the direction that Jin Yiren was moving towards was in the direction of that collapsed planet. Mo Wuji did not know why Jin Yiren was interested in that collapsed planet, but whether Jin Yiren knew of the secret or not, he was not going to let Jin Yiren take away this collapsed planet. As for that spaceship, Mo Wuji did not currently have the time to investigate it. It will have to wait till he had time, then he would take another look at it. He did not think that just because a spaceship appeared here meant that Earth was not far away. Anything could happen in this vast universe; the spaceship might have unintentionally entered a spatial tear and move through several worlds. At this point, Mo Wuji was worried that Jin Yiren¡¯s sacred art was strong and could directly sweep this planet up and away. Thus, he pushed his Wind Escape Technique to the max, and landed on this planet at almost the same time as Jin Yiren. "You are actually a Xuan Immortal, so why didn¡¯t you get suppressed by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth? That¡¯s not right, who exactly are you?" When Jin Yiren saw that Mo Wuji had landed on this collapsed planet at almost the same time as him, his eyes constricted. At the start, Jin Yiren thought that Mo Wuji was a Xuan Immortal, but as he spoke, he got uncertain. He, himself, was currently in the late Xuan Immortal Stage, but in reality, he was an Immortal Reverent. Who was there to say that this fella in front of him wasn¡¯t the same. Perhaps he might also be a suppressed Immortal Reverent? Perhaps the other party might even he higher than the Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji continued wielding the saber in his hand and said indifferently, "This sir doesn¡¯t have to worry about who I am. If you want to fight, then let¡¯s fight. There¡¯s no need for all this nonsense." After Mo Wuji verified that Jin Yiren¡¯s cultivation wouldn¡¯t increase beyond the late Xuan Immortal Stage, his confidence boosted. After that previous exchange, he was indeed weaker than Jin Yiren by a bit, but he was least afraid of a messy battle. Jin Yiren¡¯s face was calm; except for that gloomy look, it was unable to discern any emotions from him. After he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he frowned slightly. Thereafter, in the shortest time possible, a smile appeared on his incomparably gloomy face as he clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "I, Jin Yiren, was careless and blind, to have acted against dao friend¡¯s flying shuttle. It was my fault, I seek dao friend¡¯s forgiveness." He was apologizing just like that? Mo Wuji was slightly confused, but he soon came to an understanding. Mo Wuji definitely didn¡¯t believe that Jin Yiren would be afraid of him; this fella completely had no reason to fear him. For such an insufferably arrogant person to apologize to him, there would only be one reason: this planet below him. Jin Yiren was willing to apologize to him because of this seemingly normal planet; this meant that Jin Yiren also knew that this planet wasn¡¯t simple. Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel spiritual will had also penetrated into the depths of this planet. In mere breaths of tiem, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart trembled slightly. In his spiritual will, he found a patch of fire-red crystals; there were 11 of them in total. Each of this crystals looked like a lotus petal, and they all exuded the purest form of fire elemental energy. Not only did these crystals have fire elemental energy which was pure to the max, there was also some form of energy which was similar to his Breath of Hongmeng. What left Mo Wuji shocked was that he actually didn¡¯t know what that energy was. There was one thing he could feel, however. That Fire Elemetal Bead was definitely related to these fire-red crystals. Not only were they associated, they were formed together. Mo Wuji guessed that these fire-red crystals were the treasures when the Heaven and Earth opened on this planet. "Alright, seeing that we¡¯re all of the same Dao, then I will forget about it. Dao friend, please make your way then. I want to cultivate here for a period of time," Mo Wuji nodded and said calmly. Even though he said that, he was prepared to fight. Since everyone could see those crystals, a fight was unavoidable. Jin Yiren¡¯s face sunk, he said coldly, ¡®Is this dao friend intentionally trying to start a fight? I came here first because I was prepared to enter a closed door cultivation session here. What does dao friend mean by saying that just now?" Mo Wuji startled, was this fella an idiot? Wasn¡¯t everyone¡¯s spiritual will able to see those fire-red crystals? Since everyone was able to say it, why would this fella say that he wanted to cultivate here. Could it be he didn¡¯t have any spiritual will? That¡¯s not right; Mo Wuji immediately retracted his spirit storage channel spiritual will, then sent his usual spiritual will outwards. The spiritual will from the spirit storage channel was soundless and formless. It could penetrate through the surface of the planet and expand putwards. This sort of spiritual will was very hard to detect. Just now, Mo Wuji had used his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will, and indeed, the other party didn¡¯t notice it. At this instant, Mo Wuji sent his sea of consciousness¡¯s spiritual will out, and it was immediately noticed by Jin Yiren. Mo Wuji was already prepared for Jin Yiren to attack when that happened. However, what left him shocked was that Jin Yiren didn¡¯t make a move, but simply stared coldly at him. Soon, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. When his spiritual will went back to the position of the fire-red crystals, it seemed like his spiritual will had been blocked by a natural seal and he was completely unable to see those fire-red crystals. So it seemed like his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will was able to discover those crystals, but his sea of consciousness¡¯s spiritual will wasn¡¯t able to. To this, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder why Jin Yiren wasn¡¯t afraid of him probing around with his spiritual will. He dared to bet that the other party had also swept through this area with his spiritual will and didn¡¯t detect anything. "I was originally cultivating within by own flying shuttle but I was interrupted by you. Naturally, I can¡¯t cultivate on my flying shuttle. What if I met another person like you who would unreasonably attack my flying shuttle and even destroy it? I want this planet. I will be cultivating here." When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he expanded his domain and his aura soared. Jin Yiren¡¯s eyes were filled with overwhelming killing intent. If it really wasn¡¯t the case that he was the one that stopped Mo Wuji, he would have suspected that Mo Wuji was like him, and had come specifically for this plaent. One must know that he had chased after this planet because he noticed the traces of an explosion when he was passing through a star system, and he deduced that a collapsed planet would have some treasures within. He suspected that this planet was that collapsed planet. After all, the destruction within this planet matched with his deduction of two to three explosions. Why did this cultivator, who he had stopped randomly, want this planet? Regardless of the reason, he must die¡­ "Since that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s no need for you to leave." As Jin Yiren finished speaking, his domain also violently burst outwards. At the same time, a fire red spear appeared. Boundless spear waves formed, sending bursts of space-tearing energy towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji retreated furiously. While his person was retreating, his domain was continuously expanding. Don¡¯t simply look at his actions of retreating; in his heart, he was still without fear. The reason why he was retreating wasn¡¯t because he was being suppressed by Jin Yiren¡¯s domain, nor was it because he was scared of the other party¡¯s red spear waves. It was because he wanted to find the most advantageous position. This sort of terrain wasn¡¯t suited for him to battle, but suited for him to take the crystals and run. He was only going to stop retreating when he was at the top of the 11 fire-red crystals. Chapter 587: Grand Desert, Winding River, Setting Sun Chapter 587: Grand Desert, Winding River, Setting Sun Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations According to Mo Wuji¡¯s judgement, even though Jin Yiren was in the late Xuan Immortal Stage, he definitely wasn¡¯t able to kill Jin Yiren. Even though he could temporarily suppress Jin Yiren, he was afraid that if he angered that fella, that fella would suddenly burst forth with his full cultivation. Perhaps this fella might suffer the pressures from the Heaven and Earth after he recovered his cultivation. However, at the very instant that he regained his cultivation, Mo Wuji did not dare confirm that he would be able to escape from this fella¡¯s attacks. Just when Mo Wuji was sure that he was standing above the 11 fire-red crystals, he no longer retreated. His saber also swept out thousands of saber light which flooded outwards. "Boom!" The violent spear wave killing intent crashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s saber light. Immortal elemental energy exploded. Mo Wuji had yet to fully form his saber-type sacred art. On the other hand, Jin Yiren¡¯s spear waves were from a true spear intent sacred art. The moment the saber and spear energies clashed, Mo Wuji immediately knew that he was in a disadvantage. He could feel a violent rebound of elemental energy. Mo Wuji had a premonition that if he didn¡¯t retreat, he was going to be corroded by the spear intent. "Crack, crack, crack!" The ground beneath his feet started to collapse. At the same time, Mo Wuji furiously sent out the immortal elemental energy from his elemental storage channel. Even if he was going to be heavily injured, he would never retreat. It wasn¡¯t because of his ego, but because Mo Wuji knew that if he retreated, it would be hard for him to reoccupy this position. "Pff!" Facing the harsh rebound of immortal elemental energy, Mo Wuji spit out a mouthful of blood. In just one exchange, Mo Wuji was heavily injured. Jin Yiren¡¯s spear intent began to frenziedly tear into Mo Wuji¡¯s life force and meridians. If it was some other person, what he would do now was to escape. However, Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t retreat by even half a step. That was because he had the vitality channel. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s vitality channel rapidly heal his injuries, and at the same time, he started calculating when this planet would explode. The moment this planet exploded, Mo Wuji would sweep away the part of the planet containing the fire-red crystals. That¡¯s not right; as he thought about sweeping up the bit of the planet, Mo Wuji suddenly thought that the planet might explode exactly in half. What should he do then? Even though this planet wasn¡¯t very big, with his power, he wouldn¡¯t be able to casually sweep half a planet away. By the time he slowly places half the planet into the Undying World, this Jin Yiren would already know what was going on. I need to install an array; as he thought of this, Mo Wuji continuously threw out array flags. Even though Mo Wuji was the one placed in a disadvantage during that exchange, Jin Yiren was also sent retreating. He retreated as needed; he didn¡¯t stay rooted to his original spot, thus he did not seem to be as injured as Mo Wuji. "Not bad, you have guts. To actually be able to gain the upper hand with that slash of yours. On account of that slash, I am willing to offer some compensation for attacking you previously." Jin Yiren once again landed in front of Mo Wuji; a hint of appreciation could be heard in his voice. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t an idiot; he naturally wouldn¡¯t think that Jin Yiren would actually show appreciation for him. From Jin Yiren¡¯s words, he could clearly tell that Jin Yiren believe that he loved his ego, which was why he would rather allow himself to be heavily injured than to retreat. Thus, Jin Yiren would express his appreciation and offer a compensation, so that he would f*ck off. One must now that he had clearly been in the disadvantage in the previous exchange but this fella actually said that he had gained the upper hand. Because Jin Yiren also knew. If they were to continue fighting, this planet would explode. The moment this planet exploded, whatever was inside would be exposed. As Mo Wuji continuously threw out array flags, his vitality channel continued to furiously heal his recoveries. Seeing that Mo Wuji did not intend to take a step back and accept his compensation, and was even continuously throwing array flags, Jin Yiren¡¯s killing intent burst forth once more. The spear in his hand hummed wildly, and his domain raged outwards. It was as Mo Wuji believed; he did not think that Mo Wuji was a threat to him. Just now, Mo Wuji egotistically accepted the brunt of his spear killing intent. He suspeted that his spear intent had already started to tear Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit channels apart. The reason why he didn¡¯t want to fight with Mo Wuji was indeed because he was worried that a battle would reveal the secrets within this planet. "Bang!" The two¡¯s domains clashed once more. Mo Wuji was in the early Xuan Immortal Stage while Jin Yiren was suppressed to the late Xuan Immortal Stage. No matter what perspective one saw it from, Mo Wuji¡¯s domain could not be comapred to Jin Yiren¡¯s. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s domain was the whirlpool domain; it encompassed the savage grinding power of the whirlpool. Even though Jin Yiren¡¯s understanding towards the domain might be ten times more than Mo Wuji, when the two¡¯s domains clashed, his domain did not manage to get the upper hand. "You do have some¡­" By this point, Jin Yiren already started to suspect that Mo Wuji also knew that there was something peculiar with this planet. Because his spear intent did not manage to cause Mo Wuji¡¯s combat power to fall, he started to have some apprehensions towards Mo Wuji. Jin Yiren¡¯s spear energy started to concentrate and become increasingly dense; it was like a huge mouth which devours everything and it faced towards Mo Wuji. While he controlled his domain to defend against Jin Yiren, Mo Wuji also began to conjure raging saber energy. Just at this moment, at the fringe of space far away, a blinding white light burst forth. Even though it was relatively far from the two of them, the overwhelming white light caused the two of them to be unable to open their eyes for an instant. Whether it was Jin Yiren or Mo Wuji, they both subconsciously stopped that battle, their gazed landed on that blinding white light. Instants later, a layer of undulating sand seemed to unfold from that white light on a magnificent scale, spreading outwards continuously without boundary. It was like a huge desert. Soon, that white light formed a silver river. That silver river seemed to slowly extend above the desert like a surging wave. Following which, another dazzling white light exploded. Mo Wuji subconsciously thought of that poem: A plume of smoke rises up into the evening sky of the Great Desert; the Yellow River dimmed as the setting sun goes down. It looked like a star on the level of the Morning Flame Star or the Sun had exploded. Mo Wuji¡¯s suddenly had a premonition that the explosion was related to the planet right underneath his feet. When he saw that wave-like desert gradually disappear, a hint of enlightenment surged into Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. The saber in his hand gradually became hazy; it seemed like it had split into countless bits of saber light sand. His killing intent slowly condensed into these countless saber light sand, then merged with his domain. Jin Yiren immediately noticed the change in Mo Wuji. A hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes. Anyhow, he was still an Immortal Reverent. How could he not tell that while Mo Wuji¡¯s saber had yet to slash out, a considerable change had happened to it. Did he gain enlightenment from that exploding star? There was actually such a person in this world? He could no longer spend any time thinking any further as Mo Wuji had already hacked over with his saber. The moment the saber hacked over, it seemed like a huge wave of sand had flooded out, turning the entire space into a desert, and the entire desert seemed to be filled with killing intent. Facing that daunting and boundless saber light sand, Jin Yiren felt that even breathing had become a little difficult. He did not dare to think any further as he struck out with his all-devouring spear. The spear seemed to tear a clear red trail in space, threatening to form a tear in space itself. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart surged will killing intent. He felt that his saber intent had transformed into a vast desert, and he was the master of this desert. Anything that stood in his way would be swallowed by this raging desert. That scene had etched itself into Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. The saber-type sacred art that he already had an outline of, had now fully taken shape. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The surging desert sand crashed against Jin Yiren¡¯s red spear, sending out resounding sounds of explosions. The immortal elemental energy and the killing intent tore into space, forming minute wrinkles in space. Even though these wrinkles disappeared instantly, it could be seen that the space around them couldn¡¯t contain their battle. "Crack, crack!" The ground beneath them began to crack; Jin Yiren retreated rapidly. According to Mo Wuji¡¯s previous intentions, he should sweep away the part of the planet that contained the 11 fire-red crystals and run away. However, Mo Wuji, who had just gained enlightenment on the saber desert, was filled with confidence. Not only didn¡¯t he follow according to his original plans, while Jin Yiren retreated, he jerked his saber to a stop. The desert in space went still, and the saber killing intent and saber light formed a silver river. This was the second move that Mo Wuji had just gained enlightenment on: Winding River. The saber transformed into a silver winding river. The river suspended overhead like the Northern Lights in the sky, it formed countless of falling blades. Just at this moment, Mo Wuji felt an ache in his sea of consciousness. His Winding River killing intent instantly turned sluggish, and his falling blades also dissapated. Not good, he wasn¡¯t able to display his Winding River. It wasn¡¯t because he wasn¡¯t strong enough, but because he didn¡¯t fully understand that slash. If he wasn¡¯t even able to display his second slash, Winding River, then there was no need to talk about the third slash Setting Sun. Mo Wuji did not think any further as he threw out multiple array flags, sweeping the part of the planet which concealed the fire-red crystals into his Undying World. Thereafter, he used use spatial teleportation and escaped. Mo Wuji¡¯s first slash, Grand Desert, had already left Jin Yiren injured. When he saw that Mo Wuji¡¯s second slash was even more powerful than the first, he began to furiously retreat. Mo Wuji had gained insights on a saber sacred art during their battle, which was already extremely terrifying. He did not expect that Mo Wuji would even learn an entire set of moves. Jin Yiren¡¯s insight was naturally not weak. He could feel that the moment Mo Wuji¡¯s river crashed into his domain, he would definitely be heavily injured. He rapidly retreated. With his combat experience, he naturally knew that he had to avoid Mo Wuji¡¯s saber light, then slowly beat Mo Wuji in a battle of attrition. He could tell that Mo Wuji was an empty vessel. If they were to really fight, Mo Wuji would not be able to compare to him. No matter how powerful the sacred art was, a newly learned sacred art had limits. The reason why he retreated was to prevent any heavy injuries. However, at this instant, he almost vomited blood. He saw Mo Wuji sweep up a piece of the planet then run away. Even if he was an idiot, Jin Yiren also knew that Mo Wuji had the same motives as him: the treasure on this planet. His experience was right; Mo Wuji¡¯s sacred art had not been fully complete. It was his caution that had lost him his opportunity. Chapter 588: The Grand Emperor’s Rage Chapter 588: The Grand Emperor¡¯s Rage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This planet exploded into hundreds of pieces and Jin Yiren¡¯s expression turned gloomy the moment he took out his eight trigrams magic plate. His treasure-hunting plate could no longer sense the energy of the unique treasure which meant that Mo Wuji had swept the treasure away with him. He had no clue as to how Mo Wuji was able to find the piece of the planet which contained the treasures but no matter what, he would not let someone walk away with something he had been searching for years. At this moment, he had no hesitation as he instantly went towards the direction that Mo Wuji escaped in. ¡­ Mo Wuji knew that Jin Yiren would not let him go so he constantly executed his Wind Escape Technique madly. As compared to his Grade 7 immortal flying shuttle, his Wind Escape Technique would not leave any traces behind. Even if there were the slightest of traces left behind, he had left much earlier than Jin Yiren so the energy in space would definitely have wiped out these possible traces. Even though he didn¡¯t injure Jin Yiren badly, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t disappointed. Not only did he managed to obtain the 11 fire-red crystals, he gained insights on his very own blade sacred art. The first blade was the Grand Desert, second blade was the Winding River and the third blade, Setting Sun. He had only just gained enlightenment on his first blade, Grand Desert and he was able to obtain the advantage in a battle with Jin Yiren. Unfortunately, his second and third blade had yet to form up properly because the moment he was able to execute both the second and third blade too, he would no longer need to escape. This was because Jin Yiren would definitely be the one who would be trying to escape. After being on the run for multiple days, when Mo Wuji could no longer feel Jin Yiren¡¯s aura and felt that he was relatively safer, he stopped. Following which, he boarded his flying shuttle before allowing it to be autopilot mode. Mo Wuji entered his own Undying World as he landed directly on the piece of the planet he sent in. Other than the 11 fire-red crystals on it, everything else looked perfectly normal. After breaking apart the restrictions on it, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seem to sense any peculiarity within the 11 fire-red crystals. Even though it¡¯s red colour was the same shade of red as a flame, he didn¡¯t feel any burning sensation at all. After placing all 11 fire-red crystals on the floor, other than a type of energy which even Mo Wuji was unable to perceive, there was also an extremely warm feeling. The only unique point was that every single one of the fire-red crystal felt like a lotus flower petal. If he were to add one more fire-red crystal and put all 12 of them together, it would really resemble the Tier 12 Red Karmic Fire Lotus. However, Mo Wuji was aware that this was not possible and that the Tier 12 Red Karmic Fire Lotus would not be separated into these. Furthermore, Mo Wuji had seen the Red Karmic Fire Lotus before and if the one he saw was real, the real Red Karmic Fire Lotus should be in the third level of the Broken World. At the thought of the fact that the Fire Elemental Bead could be related to these crystals, Mo Wuji picked up a crystal and drew his Scholar¡¯s Heart simultaneously. The moment the Scholar¡¯s Heart was drawn out, it let out a shrill cry as if it was pregnant with a new life. Following which, the green flame instantly wrapped around the fire-red crystal. It felt different as compared to when the Scholar¡¯s Heart advanced with the use of the fire heartstone. The flame of the Scholar¡¯s Heart actually converged and eventually turned into a green fire cocoon with no movement at all. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will seeped into the green fire cocoon and all he saw was a pure green and red energy. He was not able to see the specific process of what happened. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t touch the Scholar¡¯s Heart and went to keep all the remaining 10 fire-red crystals into one jade box before sealing it up. Afterwards, he went to check on the spaceship. Mo Wuji could tell that this spaceship was in a mess because of the battles it got into. There were even some blood stains and a few laser guns that were lying on the floor. Mo Wuji was a biologist and a pharmacy scientist and even though he recognised that it was a spaceship, he wasn¡¯t all too familiar with such technologies.After looking through for half a day, he didn¡¯t find any azimuth coordinates that was related to Earth. With reference to the words on it, he realised that this spaceship was sent up by an alliance on Earth. As for when did his Earth had a new alliance, Mo Wuji had no idea and didn¡¯t want to know. After one more round of thorough checks, Mo Wuji lost interest in this spaceship when he confirmed that he couldn¡¯t make use of this spaceship to return to Earth. Ever since Mo Wuji decided to throw the memories of Xia Ruoyin away, he was not as eager to return to Earth. He was more eager to return to the Immortal World because he had his friends and future there. The pity was that up till today, Mo Wuji had no clue as to how to return to the Immortal World. He was slightly helpless and frustrated when he thought that Jin Yiren could know the way back to the Immortal World. Unfortunately, he was his enemy and was definitely not able to have a good talk with him if he met him again. The universe was so vast and even if a puny Xuan Immortal like himself were to exhaust all his energy to search for his way back, it might still be futile. Fortunately, he had gained some rewards and the first was that he was aware that his technique would not be restricted by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Secondly, he obtained a physique tempering technique and enlightened his blade sacred art. Thirdly, he even managed to obtain 11 valuable looking fire-red crystals. He decided to continue cultivating because he still had a pile of immortal crystals with him. Additionally, he had plenty of immortal pills after coming out from the Yunxian Immortal Valley which would be enough for him to cultivate for a period of time. Who knows that maybe one day, after he reached the Grand Yi Stage and felt the pressure of the Heaven and Earth, he would be swept up back to the Immortal World? Mo Wuji was indeed very optimistic. He knew that there was no difference between controlling the flying shuttle himself and setting it to autopilot because he had no specific destination anyway. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t start cultivating inside the flying shuttle or in his Undying World but chose to cultivate on the deck of his flying shuttle. He only installed a defensive array and not a concealment array because he wanted people to notice him. The moment he met a cultivator in space, he might be able to find his way back to the Immortal World. ¡­ Gods Immortal Domain, Unfettered Emperor Palace. A skinny and tall man wearing an Immortal Emperor crown was staring at the people kneeling in front of him with a gloomy and stern face. This skinny and tall man was the Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s peak grade Immortal Emperor Lun Cai who was also known as Grand Emperor Lun Cai. Under normal circumstances, those who were in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage would be qualified to be addressed as Grand Emperor in the Immortal World. However, the truth was that every Grand Emperor would be one of the strongest in their region because if one didn¡¯t have the true capability, even if others were to address him as an Grand Emperor, one wouldn¡¯t dare to acknowledge it too. A Grand Emperor in the Immortal World comes with supreme honour and would be considered as a symbol of true power and strength. Immortal Emperor Lun Cai, was indeed a Grand Emperor at the pinnacle of the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage and was shockingly strong. After a full incense worth of time, Immortal Emperor said in a solemn tone, "Lai Yi, are you certain that the Mo Wuji went to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool?" A young looking man walked over and bowed, "Yes, and he didn¡¯t return after he went there." Lun Cai was very familiar with the Soul Condensing Pool so he didn¡¯t ask if the young man went to check thoroughly. If a Xuan Immortal like Mo Wuji entered the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool, he would basically be courting death. Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s face turned serious again as his tone sounded even more furious than before, "Hong Ling, what have you found out?" A red hair girl walked over hurriedly, "That Mo Wuji was a Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and was even an elder. He had participated in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition and had went to the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Other than this, he also had a pill house in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, called the Tian Ji Pill House." Lun Cai said with an icy cold tone, "Inform the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance immediately that it was a small matter that Mo Wuji died at the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool but he actually affected the life of my imperial concubine. I need everyone around him to be buried for my concubine. Because of my respect for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, I would not be calculative with them but I hope that when I am acting against Mo Wuji¡¯s pill house and the people around him, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would not interfere. Otherwise, they shouldn¡¯t blame me for turning nasty against them. And also that Devil Moon Immortal School who provided Mo Wuji a slot to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool should also be held responsible¡­" If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely be dumbfounded at the sight of such unreasonable person. He had not even met, let alone promise, Immortal Emperor and simply because he had some medical skills, he made Immortal Emperor Lun Cai so infuriated that the people around him had to be buried. In fact, he wasn¡¯t even aware that Lun Cai was looking for him during this period of time. ¡­ Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was a massive and tyrannical existence in the Immortal World. The only reason Lun Cai could be so unreasonable was because Mo Wuji was dead. Presently, at the headquarters of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Vice Head, Hu Zhenyu had an ugly expression on his face. The main reason was not only because of Immortal Emperor¡¯s lack of respect but more importantly, the fall of Mo Wuji whom he held high hopes for. His eyes swept across a young man called Lai Yi before saying faintly, "Does this mean that if my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance refuse to let Lun Cai act, Lun Cai would go head to head against us? My Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had really not met such an opponent before, someone who would threaten us all the way till our doorsteps." Lai Yi replied calmly as he bowed, "Alliance Head Hu¡¯s words are too serious. Since that Mo Wuji was an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, this meant that he was a part of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. However, he disregarded the high regards held of him by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and actually risked his life to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool and died eventually. This was evidently a display of the lack of appreciation for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Grand Emperor Lun Cai had also mention that as long as the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance allowed us to act against the people around Mo Wuji, the Grand Emperor was willing to take out¡­" "Hmph!" before Lai Yi could finish speaking, Hu Zhenyu let out a cold grunt, "What? Are you trying to scare my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance with the reputable name of a Grand Emperor? The fact that my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was able to maintain our foothold in the Immortal World for such a long time was mainly because we were never afraid of threatens." Lai Yi hurried to respond, "My Unfettered Emperor Palace always had huge respects for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance so we would never dare to scare the alliance. Grand Emperor was merely suggesting and it would of course be fine if the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance is not agreeable." Grand Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s words were naturally not as gentle and polite as how Lai Yi expressed because Lun Cai really did say that he would not be nice if the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was not willing to show some face to him. Lai Yi would definitely not say the original words of Immortal Emperor Lun Cai because if he did, there would definitely be a upcoming war. "Vice Alliance Head, why don¡¯t you listen to Grand Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s condition?" An extremely obese man with small eyes walked out and said. This obese man, Ren Qian, was also an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and was a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor. He held a high status in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and was only slightly less commanding than the Vice Alliance Head. Among the many elders, he was also the one with the most authority. Chapter 589: Shameful Bird Chapter 589: Shameful Bird Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Let me hear it then," Honestly speaking, Hu Zhenyu was also slightly frustrated with Mo Wuji. Why would such a talented Pill King have so little self love that he would choose to go to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool? If he didn¡¯t enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pool, it would be impossible for Lun Cai, no matter how strong he was, to act against a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance like him. Lai Yi dared not slow down his pace as he clasped his fists once more, "Grand Emperor said that he would offer the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance two slots to enter the Gods Tower." "Are you serious?" Hu Zhenyu stood up in excitement as even he couldn¡¯t control his excitement when he heard Lai Yi¡¯s words. Gods Tower was the most secretive place of the Gods Immortal Domain and it was also the wealthiest place according to rumours. Rumours mentioned that this was the place where the real deities had fought against each other and that countless of deities had fallen in this Gods Tower. Any item left behind by the deities would definitely be of a supreme existence in the Immortal World. The reason why Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s strength exceeded all the others in the same stage as him and was even addressed as a Grand Emperor was because he had been to the Gods Tower once. While he was in the Gods Tower, he managed to find plenty of opportunities which aid his rapid progress to become a Grand Emperor. Hu Zhenyu had cultivated to become this strong so there were really not many things in the world which he wanted and was unable to get. However, this slot to enter the Gods Tower was indeed one of the few things he sought after but was unable to obtain. Everytime the Gods Tower opened, even the slots reserved for the people of the Gods Immortal Domain were limited, let alone people of the other domains. Even though the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance were given slots once in awhile, they were extremely little. It was considered very generous of Lun Cai to be offering two slots to enter the Gods Tower. This offer really made Hu Zhenyu consider accepting Lun Cai¡¯s request. One must know that the Gods Tower had no restriction in terms of cultivation level and anyone could enter. Hu Zhenyu had always coveted for a chance to enter the Gods Tower but never had the opportunity. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was given three slots for the opening of the Gods Tower this time round and it would usually be given to the younger generation with the most potential. Hu Zhenyu was the Vice Head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance so he would naturally not be that shameless to fight for the slots with the juniors. Now that Grand Emperor Lun Cai had offered two slots for him, it was simply equivalent to being treated a luxurious feast. "Grand Emperor controlled majority of the domain so he would only need to say a few sentence for this to be happened. Therefore, he would naturally not be lying about such things," Lai Yi said respectfully. Even though his tone appeared to be extremely modest and humble, Lai Yi¡¯s heart was starting to feel slightly indifferent. So what if he was from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? He couldn¡¯t believe that the Vice Head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to get so excited over just two slots to enter the Gods Tower. "Alright, I agree to his request but I hope that Grand Emperor Lun Cai would not go overboard," Hu Zhenyu calmed himself down before replying. "Of course," Lai Yi said pleasantly. As for Hu Zhenyu¡¯s wish for Grand Emperor to not go overboard, nobody really bothered about it as everyone knew that that wish would never be granted. ¡­ Mo Wuji had no idea how long he had cultivated for but he had no choice but to stop cultivating now. The main reason was because he depleted all his immortal crystals and he couldn¡¯t possibly only rely on pills to cultivate. After all these years of cultivating, he had at least advanced into the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage and was only a step away from entering the advanced Xuan Immortal Stage. Because he was unable to cultivate, Mo Wuji could only control his flying shuttle like a headless fly with no particular direction to head towards. At this moment, without mentioning the Immortal World, he would not even be able to find his way back to the Planet Heavenly Crow. When he was cultivating, he wasn¡¯t too bothered by the fact that he was lost out in this space but once he stopped cultivating, he started to feel anxious. He was still fine after one, two and three months but after he spent meaningless time on the flying shuttle for over a year, there was a change in Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude. If he continued carrying on like this, he could die of old age in this vast universe. Yet another month had passed and just when Mo Wuji was considering if he should find some cracks within space to try his luck, he sensed a familiar trace of energy. Even though the energy he sensed was extremely weak, Mo Wuji was still able to capture it and dashed towards it on his flying shuttle. At this moment, even if the person he met was Jin Yiren, Mo Wuji would find ways to strike a deal with him to talk. "Shuai Guo?" What made Mo Wuji surprised was that he actually saw Shuai Guo. Shuai Guo was curled up on the deck of a flying ship and there were even a few high tier spiritual herbs in front of him. To Mo Wuji¡¯s surprise, Shuai Guo¡¯s strength didn¡¯t improve much ever since they parted ways. Given Shuai Guo¡¯s talent, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t find it strange even if he was a Grade 9 beast now. Back when they parted ways, Shuai Guo was a Grade 4 beast and after all these years, he was still a Grade 4 beast and even had weak energy around him. Mo Wuji was well aware of Shuai Guo¡¯s alluring character. However, this fella was even uglier than before with a body of grey feathers. Previously, he had three legs but now one of the legs was gone and he became a two legged beast. Other than this, he looked so listless without any shred of energy or spirit left in him. Logically speaking, Shuai Guo¡¯s current environment was not that bad because he could sit on the deck and watch the space while feeding on spiritual herbs. So why had he not improved at all over all these years? Furthermore, Mo Wuji had already sensed Shuai Guo and given the fact that Shuai Guo should be more sensitive because he was a beast, Mo Wuji found it weird that Shuai Guo had yet to sense Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji kept his flying shuttle immediately as he took one step to board that flying ship. This restrictions placed on the flying ship was nothing more than a display to Mo Wuji. "Master¡­" A depressed and dejected Shuai Guo finally recognised Mo Wuji as he jumped up in joy onto Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder. Even though he was only a bird, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed. "Who are you?" A young man wearing a green robe walked out and not only was this man handsome, he had an imposing appearance too as he walked out with extreme confidence. Spirituality were even floating around his body surface and even people who had yet to cultivate would be able to tell how unique this young man was. Mo Wuji was secretly in praise of this fella because he was at most 20 years old yet he was already in the True God Stage Level 7. There shouldn¡¯t be someone as talented as he was in the entire Zhen Xing right? No matter how confident, or impressive the other party appeared to be, Mo Wuji chose not to bother about him as he carried Shuai Guo by the neck and throw him on the deck, "Shuai Guo, you are after all a bird with some origins. After parting for all these years, how could you not progress at all and even lost one of your legs? How shameful is this for a person...No, how shameful are you as a bird?" Shuai Guo used one of his legs to wipe his own eyes as he said, "Master, if I didn¡¯t see you today, I would have died. This b*stard grabbed me fed me with good food and drinks everyday so that he could let me bleed. It was this fella who insisted on drinking a cup of my blood everyday. No matter how strong I¡¯ve become, I would have no more blood left because of this thrash. My third leg was also degenerated because of the lack of blood left in my body¡­ hoot hoot¡­ Master, you have to seek justice for me." There was indeed two stalks of spiritual herb meant for blood replenishment and there was a sudden trace of killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. He didn¡¯t act immediately as he said with a cold tone, "Back when I asked you to wait for me outside that Lightning Provenance, why did you leave? You made me look for you for a long period of time." "I didn¡¯t leave on my own accord but was brought away by these rubbish. They said I am some ancient spiritual beast and that they needed to make me bleed¡­" Before Shuai Guo could finish explaining his case, Mo Wuji understood everything. His eyes fell on the green robe youth and said coldly, "Are you the one who made Shuai Guo bleed for over 10 years?" The green robe youth frowned because if Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t appeared unknowingly on his flying ship, he would have kicked Mo Wuji off the instance he landed. "Hu Bo¡­" The green robe youth didn¡¯t answer Mo Wuji but shouted instead. A weak looking elder landed on the deck and there was one more middle age man standing beside him. The weak elder sized Mo Wuji up and couldn¡¯t tell the difference between Mo Wuji and an ordinary mortal. Friend, are there any misunderstandings here?" The weak elder called Hu Bo clasped his fist towards Mo Wuji and asked politely. Mo Wuji¡¯s origin was way too mysterious and one must know that the restriction on his young master¡¯s flying ship was not of low grade. Therefore, it was quite impressive that Mo Wuji managed to board the ship without them noticing, Mo Wuji answered sternly, "You are not worthy to become my friend so answer my question directly." "So what if I drank the blood of this domesticated animal?" The green robe man grunted as he drew out his own magic treasure. "Shuai Guo, go ahead and drink all the blood that he had took from you. Do not drink even the dross and just drink whatever you lost," Mo Wuji said faintly. "You are courting death," Once he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the green robe youth was infuriated as the Round Moon Blade on his hand was swung towards Mo Wuji. Following which, he was shocked as he couldn¡¯t move a single inch. An invisible space trapped him and other than his thoughts and mouth, he couldn¡¯t move anything else. "Hu Bo, save me¡­" There were fears in the eyes of the youth because he couldn¡¯t believe there was an expert this strong till the extent that he had no idea what cultivation level he was on. Hu Bo was in the elementary Worldly Immortal Stage but he only took a step forward before realising that he was trapped as well. "Senior, please have mercy on us. We come from the the Mirage Mountain and the Mirage Mountain has the Five Transformation Rogue Immortal experts¡­" Hu Bo said everything in a single breath. Noticing that Shuai Guo was staring at himself in joy, Mo Wuji kicked him and said, "Go and drink your blood, stop wasting any more time." "Yes, Master," Shuai Guo jumped excitedly onto the green robe youth and landed on the forehead of the terrified youth. In one mouth, Shuai Guo bit the youth¡¯s forehead. Blood gushed out and entered Shuai Guo¡¯s mouth just like that. "Senior, please have mercy on him. He is the young master of my Mirage Mountain¡­" Looking at how Shuai Guo was really sucking his blood, Hu Bo almost spat out blood as his tone was no longer coherent. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about his words as he replied, "Where is the Mirage Mountain again? What on earth is a Rogue Immortal?" Hu Bo took in a deep breath as he knew that he had to stop Shuai Guo in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, even if his young master could survive this ordeal, he would become a worthless person. "Senior, One Transformation Rogue Immortal would be equivalent to elementary Heavenly Immortal Stage while the strength of the Five Transformation Rogue Immortal would be equivalent to intermediate Golden Immortal¡­" Hu Bo hurried to reply. "Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal?" Mo Wuji looked astonishingly at Hu Bo as he started to suspect if this fella was a cultivator from the Immortal World. Otherwise, how would he know of the Heavenly Immortal or Golden Immortal? One must know that even he didn¡¯t know about the stages of the cultivation world back when he was in Zhen Xing. Chapter 590: The Mighty Mirage Mountain Chapter 590: The Mighty Mirage Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Hu Bo said proudly, "Senior should be in the advanced Earthly Immortal Stage right? One step after the Earthly Immortal Stage would be the Heavenly Immortal Stage. One must ascend into the Immortal World to undergo the Earthly Immortal lightning tribulation and the Golden Immortal Stage would be the stage right after the Heavenly Immortal Stage." Hu Bo noticed that Mo Wuji was able to use his domain to restrain him so he should at least be in the advanced Earthly Immortal Stage or even the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. Even though it might seem a little appalling for an Earthly Immortal Stage to succeed in restraining him, an Earthly Immortal would still mean nothing when faced against the Rogue Immortal. Mo Wuji asked in a serious tone, "Where is that Mirage Mountain located at?" "Senior, are you able to ask that bird to stop sucking my young master¡¯s blood¡­" The instance Hu Bo finished speaking, that green robe youth fell to the ground with a pale face. The energy around him was evidently weak and the spirituality around his body had all disappeared while he had no cultivation left in him. On the other hand, Shuai Guo was jumping ecstatically as both his eyes lit up in joy. Even though he didn¡¯t grow out his third leg, the grey feathers of his were filled with much more luster and Mo Wuji could feel Shuai Guo¡¯s energy just like before. "Master, I¡¯ve obeyed your oder and sucked back all the blood which I¡¯ve lost without killing him," Shuai Guo said loftily before flying back up onto Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder. Hu Bo was in daze with his mouth wide opened. The middle aged man who was initially trapped by Mo Wuji instantly felt that his body was free again as he rushed over to pick the green robe youth up. Following which, he managed to make the green robe youth swallow some pills. Naturally, Mo Wuji was able to tell that Shuai Guo did not only take back what he lost but also sucked out most of the blood that belonged to the green robe youth. If he didn¡¯t let the middle aged man go to save the green robe youth, this green robe youth would not live for much longer. "You are pretty decent to actually collect interest from him," Mo Wuji was extremely disgusted with people who absorbed blood of the others to cultivate. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this green robe youth had been sucking Shuai Guo of his blood everyday before they met, he would never allow Shuai Guo to be this indecent. However, if Shuai Guo dared to suck other people¡¯s blood in the future, he would not go easy on Shuai Guo. Even though Shuai Guo had not been with Mo Wuji for a long period of time, he understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words. He was well aware that Mo Wuji would never allow him to suck anyone¡¯s blood. Therefore, when he noticed there was something wrong with Mo Wuji¡¯s tone, he hurried to reply, "Master, I accidentally suck a little more than I should¡­" "If there was a next time, I would strip your skin off you before stewing you," Mo Wuji said without hesitation. Shuai Guo kept shaking his head, "I will not, I will not unless Master asked me to do so¡­" Mo Wuji couldn''t¡¯ be bothered to reply Shuai Guo as his eyes fell back on Hu Bo. Hu Bo looked at the dying green robe youth with a pale face before saying, "You killed the young master¡­" Mo Wuji replied, "I am asking you a question now. Stop spouting nonsense before I really kill him off." "Yes, yes¡­" Hu Bo answered anxiously, "The Mirage Mountain is at the Hai Yi Continent and it is the number one sect of the Hai Yi Continent." "Cultivators of the Hai Yi Continent can ascend into the Immortal World?" Mo Wuji glared at Hu Bo because this was the question he was most concerned about. "Yes indeed," Hu Bo didn¡¯t dare to ignore Mo Wuji as he was worried that Mo Wuji would kill all of them at once. If Mo Wuji really did that, the only thing the Rogue Immortals could do was to avenge them. "So who captured Shuai Guo?" Shuai Guo had already exact his revenge hence, Mo Wuji¡¯s question was simply to find out his way back to Zhen Xing. Hu Bo had already figured out that Shuai Guo was this bird with grey feathers so he replied pitifully, "It really wasn¡¯t us but an elder from the sect¡­" Mo Wuji thought to himself that he might need to make a trip down to the Mirage Mountain as he continued questioning, "Tell me more about a Rogue Immortal and why a Rogue Immortal is stronger than the Heavenly Immortals and even the Golden Immortals?" Hu Bo was cursing Mo Wuji¡¯s words in his heart as he wondered if Mo Wuji was even listening to him previously. What he said was that the Five Transformation Rogue Immortals¡¯ strength were comparable to a Golden Immortal. He certainly did not say that the Rogue Immortal was stronger than a Heavenly or Golden Immortal. In fact, even the Rogue Immortals would be split into different transformations. It was truly terrifying to be as clueless as Mo Wuji was. Moreover, how can the Heavenly and Golden Immortals be placed on the same level? Hu Bo dared not say any of these words as all he did was to reply cautiously, "Rogue Immortals are those who failed in their Earthly Immortal tribulation yet managed to keep their primordial spirit. Rogue Immortals are those who undergo tribulation after their Earthly Immortal primordial spirit had been restored. One Transformation Rogue Immortal refers to the stage after the Earthly Immortal primordial spirit underwent the first tribulation, Two Transformation Rogue Immortal would be the stage after the second tribulation¡­" "Primordial spirit¡¯s tribulation?" Mo Wuji asked shockingly because how could a primordial spirit, without a solid form, undergo tribulation? Furthermore, the primordial spirit was most afraid of the lightnings. Hu Bo knew that Mo Wuji was completely clueless so he could only explain patiently, "The lightning tribulation of the primordial spirit is different from the lightning tribulation of a Heavenly Immortal yet it is not any weaker in the power of the tribulation. As long as the Rogue Immortal prepared sufficient amount of precious and incredible treasures coupled with his magic treasure, there is a chance of tribulation success. Everytime a tribulation succeeded, the Rogue Immortal¡¯s body would be further compacted with even stronger sacred art. I¡¯ve even heard that after the ninth tribulation was successful, the Rogue Immortal would be able to condense his physical body and ascend straight up to the Immortal World as a Grand Yi Immortal." "How do you know about the Grand Yi Immortal?" Mo Wuji was starting to be more surprised by the minute because he didn¡¯t expect that there was a chance to become a Grand Yi Immortal right after you ascend into the Immortal World. This was simply heaven defying. After failing the Earthly Immortal tribulation, there was still a shot at becoming a Transformation Rogue Immortal. This was indeed a kind act of heaven providing yet another lifeline for one. Mo Wuji was well aware that Rogue Immortals who failed tribulations and the rogue immortals without any sect were two very different people. Hu Bo said, "This is because the Mirage Mountain¡¯s technique was exquisite for Transformation Rogue Immortals which was why there were the most number of Rogue Immortals in the Mirage Mountain. And also because of the tremendous strength and power of these Rogue Immortals, they were able to communicate with the Mirage Mountain of the Immortal World. This was also why we would be able to know all sorts of movements or activities in the Immortal World." There was a Mirage Mountain in the Immortal World? Mo Wuji really had not heard of such a sect. Hu Bo saw the confused expression on Mo Wuji¡¯s face before grunting coldly. However, he still sounded respectful as he continued, "Yes, there is a sect called the Mirage Mountain in the Immortal World and it is a fairly huge sect. "How many Rogue Immortals does the Mirage Mountain has? And what is the highest level of the Rogue Immortals there?" Mo Wuji had made his decision to go down to the Hai Yi Continent because not only was he curious if he could make his way back to the Immortal World from the Hai Yi Continent, he wanted to find that cultivator who caught Shuai Guo too. "There are three Rogue Immortals: A Five Transformations Rogue Immortal, Two Transformations Rogue Immortal and a One Transformation Rogue Immortal," Hu Bo answered truthfully. "Since this is the case, please lead the way from the front. I want to make my way down to the Hai Yi Continent," When he heard that there were no Eight or Nine Transformations Rogue Immortal there, Mo Wuji ordered Hu Bo immediately. Despite not being fearful of any Eight or Nine Transformations Rogue Immortals, it would still be better if he was cautious. "Senior wants to go to the Hai Yi Continent?" Hu Bo looked astonishingly at Mo Wuji. "All you have to do is to lead the way and cut the crap," Mo Wuji replied with no courtesy at all. Hu Bo felt the easing of the space around his body as he hurried to bow to Mo Wuji before dashing to the helm of the flying ship. There would still be a chance to save the young master if he could reach the Mirage Mountain as soon as possible. ¡­ Even though the Hai Yi Continent was called continent, it was merely a planet of the vast universe. The moment Hu Bo¡¯s flying ship entered the Hai Yi Continent, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could sense that this planet was multiple folds bigger than Zhen Xing. The spiritual energy here was even more phenomenal as compared to Zhen Xing¡¯s. No wonder there would be so many experts who were comparable to Golden Immortals being produced in a place like this. For a cultivator who had yet to convert their energy into immortal energy, this was truly a Holy Land for cultivation. The entrance of the Mirage Mountain was even more magnificent as Mo Wuji had no idea when the Mirage Mountain were made known of his arrival. Just as Hu Bo brought Mo Wuji into the periphery of the Mirage Mountain, over ten people walked out. Mo Wuji saw this group of people and knew that Hu Bo was not boasting about his sect. In the group of over ten people, there were at least five Earthly Immortal experts and two experts with half a solid body and faint elemental energy flowing around the surface of their bodies. Their aura looked much stronger than the five Earthly Immortals so Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that these two should be the Rogue Immortals. "I, Tang Anxuan, Sect Head of the Mirage Mountain, heard that Dao Friend was visiting and I, Tang Anxuan, seek for Dao Friend¡¯s forgiveness for not going out to meet you," The man who spoke was a middle aged Earthly Immortal Stage Level 4 expert and this fella appeared to have yet to notice the dying green robe youth as his tone remained extremely polite. Mo Wuji nodded as his eyes glanced across the two Rogue Immortals. His main purpose here was to question the two Rogue Immortals as to how they could communicate with the Immortal World. Of course, Mo Wuji knew that the Mirage Mountain would not talk to him nicely. Noticing that all Mo Wuji did was to nod, a short man standing behind Tang Anxuan grunted as killing intent started to show. Mo Wuji could tell that this short man was in the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 7 and was slightly higher than Tang Anxuan. Evidently, Tang Anxuan¡¯s status was much higher than his because all he did was to wave his hand slightly and the short man retracted his killing intent. As for the two Rogue Immortals, they were simply standing in silence as if they had yet to notice Mo Wuji. "I have yet to ask how should I address this Dao Friend here?" Tang Anxuan maintained his smile. "Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji answered casually. "It¡¯s an honour to meet you," Tang Anxuan had no idea why it was an honour too but he simply continued, "Let me introduce some people to Dao Friend Mo. This is Five Transformations Rogue Immortal, Elder Ling Lian of the Mirage Mountain." Mo Wuji had long noticed this Ling Lian as this fella had been standing quietly without looking at Mo Wuji this whole while. Moreover, he had a sinister looking face with an extremely good looking palm and beautifully long fingers. His hand was similar to that of a female. Ordinary people might not be able to tell but Mo Wuji only needed one look to tell that this fella¡¯s physical body was not completely solid. It seemed like Hu Bo¡¯s claim was true about the Rogue Immortals being those who had evolved from the tribulation of primordial spirit. After realising that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care too much about Ling Lian, Tang Anxuan¡¯s heart turned cold but appeared as if it didn¡¯t matter as he continued introducing the rest of them to Mo Wuji. Tian Zizong, a short hair elder in the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 9. The previous shorty with the killing intent was called Han Qi and was in the Earthly Immortal Stage Level 7. These two fellas were the first and second elder of the Mirage Mountain respectively. There was also a skinny looking Two Transformations Rogue Immortal called Xing Feng. Even though all of them looked like they were out here to welcome Mo Wuji, when Tang Anxuan was introducing them, none of them did anything to express their welcome. Chapter 591: The Guest Seated On The Head Seat Chapter 591: The Guest Seated On The Head Seat Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Despite knowing that this was merely a demonstration of their power, Mo Wuji was not bothered by it at all. Other than questioning more about how to head to the Immortal World, Mo Wuji¡¯s purpose here would be to find out who was the one who brought Shuai Guo into the Hai Yi Continent. As long as he managed to find this person, he would have a possibility to return to Zhen Xing. "Dao Friend Mo, may I invite you to enter our Mirage Mountain¡¯s Guest Hall to talk?" Tang Anxuan bowed slightly as he guided Mo Wuji with his arm. He was testing out if Mo Wuji would dare to enter the sect of the Mirage Mountain because if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare, they would attack him immediately. If Mo Wuji dared to enter, they would choose to observe him for a while more to see if Mo Wuji was really that powerful, or was he this fearless only because he was ignorant. After all, Mo Wuji looked way too young and for such a young cultivator to be able to fend against the joint attack of these many experts of the Mirage Mountain, even Tang Anxuan found it hard to believe. Mo Wuji appeared as though he had no idea what Tang Anxuan was thinking about as he casually walked into the hall. As they watched Mo Wuji entered the hall, the two Rogue Immortals exchanged astonished glances with each other. Was Mo Wuji really that ignorant? Or was he really that powerful? How could someone, who had just destroyed the direct genius descendant of the Mirage Mountain, walk so blatantly without any signs of fear into the number one sect of the Hai Yi Continent? Even if he was that strong, he would possibly lose half of his strength after he entered the Mirage Mountain which were full of array traps. At this moment, no one would advise Mo Wuji against doing so because since Mo Wuji was bent on finding trouble with the Mirage Mountain, the Mirage Mountain would definitely want to ask Mo Wuji some questions. The truth was that the Mirage Mountain had been looking for Mo Wuji and they couldn¡¯t believe he would actually walk right into their lair. One reason would be because they accidentally found out from Shuai Guo about Mo Wuji¡¯s Scholar¡¯s Heart and since Mo Wuji had a heavenly fire in his possession, why would the Mirage Mountain not covet for it? The second reason would be because of Shuai Guo¡¯s origins. Even Shuai Guo himself had no idea where it came from so since Mo Wuji was here, they would force Mo Wuji to explain Shuai Guo¡¯s origins. The Guest Hall of the Mirage Mountain was beautifully designed and the moment Mo Wuji entered, he could tell that there at least a few hidden peak grade deathtrap arrays in this hall. However, these deathtrap arrays were not of any threats to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji started to hold this sect in contempt simply because of the number of trap arrays they concealed in the guest hall. This proved how indecent this sect was. "Dao Friend Mo, please take a seat," Tang Anxuan continued to maintain his enthusiastic attitude as he took the initiative to bring Mo Wuji into the guest hall. He pointed to a seat by the side but Mo Wuji appeared to have not seen his gesture as he walked straight to the head seat. Tang Anxuan shivered slightly because it was already considered very ridiculous for Mo Wuji to walk into the Mirage Mountain¡¯s Guest Hall so blatantly. He simply couldn¡¯t believe his eyes as he saw Mo Wuji sitting on the head seat which was usually meant for the host. He couldn¡¯t understand why Mo Wuji was really that eager to die. The short Han Qi was about to erupt again but it was the Five Transformation Rogue Immortal Ling Lian who pulled Han Qi back this time round. His cold eyes swept across Mo Wuji¡¯s action as he made a gesture for Tang Anxuan. Tang Anxuan nodded and the ten elders of the Mirage Mountain landed in the hall went to their seats. Out of the ten people, other than the five Earthly Immortals, two Rogue Immortals, the rest of them were mostly in the advanced Worldly Immortal Stage. The crowd took their seat and just as Tang Anxuan was laughing out loud and was about to speak, a young female cultivator walked to the entrance of the guest hall before bowing, "Sect Head, fellow elders, Lou Fuchi and Qu Lin are here to visit." "Oh, who did they bring to be the witness this time round?" Tang Anxuan was all smiles as he asked. It seemed like he treated everyone here with such an enthusiastic attitude. The young female cultivator said, "No one, it is just this husband and wife here." "Invite them in then," Tang Anxuan nodded as his tone started to become faint. Mo Wuji chose not to speak because he really didn¡¯t wish to kill his way through this sect. After all, Shuai Guo was still alive and it would be a little too hostile for him to exterminate the entire Mirage Mountain because of Shuai Guo. At the same time, he knew that the Mirage Mountain would be able to bear with his actions till now was because they had questions for him too and it was not about taking revenge. He was indeed interested to know why was the Mirage Mountain looking for him other than seeking revenge. However, he would not allow his patience to be tested and if the Mirage Mountain were to not know their limits, he wouldn¡¯t mind wiping the Mirage Mountain off the surface of the Hai Yi Continent. After a while, the female cultivator brought a man and a woman in. The man had a scar on his face and even though he was looked neither handsome nor strong, he had this aura with him. Mo Wuji could tell that he was only in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4. The female cultivation was even lower at the True God Stage Level 5. On first glance, she looked like a really ordinary female in a light green dress with her hair tied up in a bun while carrying a long sword on her back. However, this woman was evidently very prettier and in fact, she seemed to be getting prettier the longer he looked at her. The two people were in daze as they set foot into the guest hall. Firstly, it was because the head seat of the guest hall was occupied by a young man whom they had never seen before. Secondly, the people in the guest hall today was simply too terrifying. It only took them a while before they recognised five Earthly Immortals and two Rogue Immortals. Such a strong line up, just to handle the two of them? One must know that previously when they invited the Hai Yi Continent¡¯s reputable Zhu Huang over, the Mirage Mountain only sent the sect head and one Earthly Immortal over. As for the welcome reception by the sect head of the Mirage Mountain, Tang Anxuan, it wasn¡¯t because the Mirage Mountain looked up to them but because Tang Anxuan was a smiling tiger. Someone who was polite to anybody and everybody but had killed countless of people before. "Greetings Sect Head Tang, elders and the two senior Rogue Immortals," The two people paid their respects by bowing from the entrance. Just like how he treated Mo Wuji, Tang Anxuan nodded and invited them to take their seats while all the rest didn¡¯t even bother looking at the couple. Lou Fuchi and Qu Lin were evidently not treated this coldly for the first time as they didn¡¯t seem to mind as they bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "We have clumsy eyes so we couldn¡¯t recognise this Dao Friend here. We seek your forgiveness." Despite not recognising Mo Wuji, they didn¡¯t dare to offend someone seated at that position as they greeted politely. Mo Wuji grew slightly fonder of them because at least these two didn¡¯t lie like Tang Anxuan about being ¡®honoured¡¯ to meet him even though he didn¡¯t know him too. "I am the same as both of you because I am also here to pay a visit to the Mirage Mountain. I am considered a guest too so please don¡¯t bother about me and take your seats," Mo Wuji nodded before acknowledging them. "Pfft!" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Han Qi was the first to grunt unhappily. The couple Lou Fuchi and Qu Lin were dumbfounded and when they heard Han Qi¡¯s grunt, they knew that Mo Wuji was just as unwelcome as they were. If he wasn¡¯t welcome, why would he be allowed to sit at the head seat? The two of them were also aware that this shouldn¡¯t be something they could interfere with so they quickly took their seats at the back of the hall. As the atmosphere in the hall started to become strange, Lou Fuchi knew that the longer they stayed in this hall, the more disadvantaged they would be so he stood up in a hurry and bowed to the many elders and Tang Anxuan, "My son must have been blind to offend a disciple of the Mirage Mountain. However, we promise this would be the only time it happens and we would seek for Sect Head Tang to spare us and we would not complain regardless of your condition." When he heard this, Mo Wuji finally understood why the couple was here even though they were not welcome by the Mirage Mountain. It seemed like their son had been captured by the Mirage Mountain. As to why Lou Fuchi said that they would be willing to accept any condition, Mo Wuji understood because how could an intermediate Worldly Immortal and a True God dare to complain about anything here? Tang Anxuan¡¯s voice was faint, "I will forget about other matters because of the respect I have for Dao Friend Lou but your son, Lou Yang actually insulted the female disciple of my Mirage Mountain and he will not be forgiven. The two of you should head back otherwise, don¡¯t accuse the Mirage Mountain of bullying the weak." Tang Anxuan finished his piece and Han Qi added, "This would be the last time this happens. The next time the two of you were to cause trouble at the Mirage Mountain, there would not be a return trip for you." Qu Lin stood up hurriedly, "I believe my Lou Yang would not do such things. Sect Head Tang, could you let Lou Yang out for us to speak to him?" Tang Anxuan¡¯s smiley face turned serious as he said, "Why? Dao Friend Qu thinks that my Mirage Mountain is accusing your son? Why would my Mirage Mountain, the number one sect of the Hai Yi Continent, accuse a small True Lake Stage cultivator like your son?" From the conversation of the two of them, Mo Wuji made certain of something. That would be that Lou Yang insulted a female disciple of the Mirage Mountain and initially, nobody questioned the reason for the capture. However, the key was that the Mirage Mountain refused to let Lou Yang meet his parents. Even a fool would be able to tell that something was amiss. "Ah, since he commited a crime and deserve to be detain, we should of course gather everyone to find out the truth. I shall be the witness today so bring that Lou Yang out to question him," Mo Wuji hit against the coffee table as he laughed while speaking. If he didn¡¯t step in, this couple would leave in the same state that they entered this place. The moment they anger the Mirage Mountain, they could very well end up locked. When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s help, Lou Fuchi and Qu Lin were also surprised as they bowed pleasingly at Mo Wuji. "Hahaha¡­" After containing himself for so long, Han Qi could no longer take it as he jumped out from his seat laughing as he scolded Mo Wuji, "What are you? You ruined the cultivation, future and even half the life of the first descendant of my Mirage Mountain and you dare talk so arrogantly here? Let me see how strong you are today¡­" After saying this, Han Qi jumped right towards Mo Wuji. This time round, even Tang Anxuan did not stop him as everyone watched Han Qi. Everyone here wanted to know how capable Mo Wuji truly was. This was the best place to observe the fight between the two of them. Very soon, Han Qi was shocked as he was actually trapped midair and was unable to move no matter how hard he tried. Everyone here knew that he was an Earthly Immortal and was in fact, in Level 7 of the stage. Even a true Heavenly Immortal should not be able to trap him midair. In the next instance, he reacted and realised that someone who dared to destroy the direct descendant of the Mirage Mountain and sat at head seat should not be a simple man. Moreover, this man here looked so young so could he be a true celestial? There was an extreme coldness in Han Qi¡¯s heart at this moment and the fact was that he did not remember feeling this fearful ever since he started cultivating. Chapter 592: Blood Sucking Sect Chapter 592: Blood Sucking Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Every stared at Han Qi in aghast; no one believed that Mo Wuji was the one suspending Han Qi in space. Even the strongest Five Transformations Rogue Immortal Ling Lian wasn''t able to use spiritual will and domain to suspend a Level 7 Earthly Immortal in the air. Mo Wuji did not intend to kill Han Qi, but this fella had evil intentions plastered across his face, it was necessary to show him some discipline. With the grinding power of his whirlpool domain, one of Han Qi¡¯s limbs fell onto the ground. Thereafter, Mo Wuji''s domain dispersed and Han Qi landed heavily on the ground. "How rude and unreasonable, every attack!" When Ling Lian saw one of Han Qi''s limbs being decapitated by Mo Wuji, coupled with Mo Wuji not continuing to suspend Han Qi in the air, Ling Lian made the wrong judgement and decided to attack Mo Wuji. Seeing Ling Lian make a move, the other Earthly Immortals also attacked. Mo Wuji''s eyes turned cold; he was truly too soft in his approach. If it was any other Xuan Immortal, even if he didn''t kill an entire river of blood, that Xuan Immortal would have at least killed some experts to establish his might. Ling Lian was a Five Transformations Rogue Immortal; his cultivation approached the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage. However in Mo Wuji''s perspective, Ling Lian was still far from being a true intermediate stage Golden Immortal; his strength could only be compared to an average early stage Golden Immortal. As for the Earthly Immortals, they weren''t even placed in Mo Wuji''s eyes. The people from Mirage Mountain seemed to already have discussed it; the moment Ling Lian pounced towards Mo Wuji, the others made a move at almost the same time. Mo Wuji still didn''t move. This time, he wasn''t going to be merciful. He didn''t even take out his magic treasure as he shot out 10 bolts of lightning. Whether they were at Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 or Level 9, under Mo Wuji''s lightning bolts, no one would be spared from harm. Some wouldn''t even have the chance to survive a single blow. The one to first lose a limb to Mo Wuji, Han Qi, had the worst of luck. A lightning bolt slammed against his brain, directly ripping his Mind Palace apart. His primordial spirit wasn''t even able to escape and he died there and then. Ling Lian had already condensed half his fleshly body, but as it got struck by two bolts of lightning, it directly shattered to pieces. A primordial spirit that had a cultivation of the True God Stage floated blankly in mid air. A cultivator at Earthly Immortal Level 2 was directly killed by Mo Wuji. Even the Earthly Immortal Level 9 Tian Zizong was maimed and struck onto the ground by Mo Wuji''s lightning bolt. Whether he could recover his cultivation would have to depend on his luck. "Every one in Mirage Mountain stop." Mirage Moutain¡¯s Sect Head Tang Anxuan, who was originally heading to block the door of the Guest Hall, cried out urgerntly. In reality, even if he didn''t call for them to stop, the five cultivators from Mirage Mountain weren''t able to make another move. Instead, it was Mo Wuji''s who stared at Tang Anxuan peculiarly. He knew what Tang Anxuan was doing; that fella was prepared to block the entrance of the Guest Hall so that he wouldn''t be able to escape. However, when this fella noticed that things were going wrong, he immediately called for the people of Mirage Mountain to stop. He was seemingly telling Mo Wuji that Mirage Mountain no longer dared to show Mo Wuji disrespect. Among the five other cultivators, besides Five Transformations Rogue Immortal Ling Lian, there were four Earthly Immortals. Among which, Han Qi and an Earthly Immortal Level 2 cultivator had been killed by Mo Wuji''s lightning, while Tian Zizong and an Earthly Immortal Level 4 cultivator had been maimed and struck onto the ground. The physical body that Five Transformations Rogue Immortal Ling Lian worked hard to condense had been destroyed, and his primordial spirit had even fallen to the True God Stage. It could be confirmed: Ling Lian was over. His primordial spirit had to go through the Lightning Calamity five times in order to condense his fleshly body; only he knew how difficult it was. Moreover, the difficulty a rogue immortal faces was more than ten folds harder than an ordinary immortal Mo Wuji had destroyed the body that he struggled to condense; this was equivalent to ending him. "Senior, please show mercy." Tang Anxuan no longer had his previous demeanor and calm; he was even kneeling on the ground. Even a Five Transformations Rogue Immortal wasn''t able to do anything to Mo Wuji, and the rest that survived couldn''t even stand. Clearly, if Mo Wuji wanted to destroy Mirage Mountain, he could do so in a few breaths. "Oh, weren''t you going to close the doors and keep me in here?" Mo Wuji asked. Tang Anxuan hurriedly said, "Senior is mistaken, I was calling for people to send in tea¡­" Tang Anxuan''s entire head was drenched in sweat; his soul seemed to be shaking to its core. Lou Fuchi and Qu Lin finally reacted. This guest definitely wasn''t an ordinary person; even a Five Transformations Rogue Immortal wouldn''t catch his eye. This person was likely a Nine Transformations Rogue Immortal, or even a true immortal. Right when they reacted, the two hurriedly bowed, "Senior, please help us." Before Mo Wuji could even speak, Tang Anxuan hurriedly said, "Hurry, get Dao Friend Lou''s Young Lord Lou Yang over." "Yes." A Worldly Immortal cultivator had already swiftly sprinted out of the hall. "Who''s the one who brought Shuai Guo to Mirage Mountain. Get that person over too." Mo Wuji suddenly realised that reason wasn¡¯t as straightforward as a display of force. "Senior, I was the one who brought Shuai Guo to Mirage Mountain." The Two Transformations Rogue Immortal, that didn¡¯t make a move previously, now stood forward and bowed towards Mo Wuji. He was sure that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a rogue immortal, but a true immortal. He celebrated the fact that he didn¡¯t make a move previously. Even a Five Transformations Rogue Immortal had his fleshly body destroyed with mere lightning bolts, leaving behind a primordial spirit with only a True God Stage cultivation. Clearly, if he had made a move, he would be nothing more than dust right now. "Do you have the positioning ball that shows the position that you took Shuai Guo from?" Mo Wuji asked in a mild mannered tone. "Yes." Xing Feng immediately took out a spatial positioning ball and handed it to Mo Wuji, "this is a positioning ball that I made myself. During that time, I used a world splitting talisman to leave this region¡­" "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji lifted his hand and stopped Xing Huang, "You said that you were able to get to where Shuai Guo was because you used a world splitting talisman?" Xing Feng responded, "Yes. During that time, I had two world splitting talismans: one to, and one back." "What grade was your world splitting talisman?" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. If Xing Feng had used a world splitting talisman to get to the space around Zhen Xing, then how was he going to go back? "It was a talisman given to us by the Mirage Mountain in the Immortal World." Xing Feng did not dare to hide anything. Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was no longer as mild mannered as before, "Why did the Immortal World send you these world splitting talismans?" Xing Feng answered especially cautiously, "The Immortal World asked us to search for a token called the ¡®Univeral Peak Token¡¯. But when I went there, I wasn¡¯t able to find that token." Mo Wuji nodded; he believed Xing Feng¡¯s words. Because there was also a girl called Nai He that went to Zhen Xing to look for the Univeral Peak Token and the Immortal Seeking Token. However, those two tokens were already in his hands. "Do you still have any more of those tokens?" Mo Wuji asked. Xing Feng shook his head, "No. Even in the Immortal World, such world splitting tokens are incredibly valuable. After I searched for many years to no avial, the Immortal World¡¯s Mirage Mountain no longer asked me to continue searching for the Universal Peak Token." Mo Wuji was very disappointed, but he continued to ask, "Then are you able to communicate with the Immortal World?" "I¡¯m not. Only rogue immortals at the Five Transformations and above have the ability to communicate with the Immortal World¡­" As Xing Feng spoke, he subconsciously glanced towards Ling Lian who was only left with a True God primordial spirit. Mo Wuji just discovered that he had almost killed the only fella with the ability to communicate with the Immortal World. He shook his head, but he didn¡¯t feel much refret. In this part of the world, there were still cultivators who could ascend; that meant that he would still find a away to get to the the Immortal World. Just at this instant, the Worldly Immortal that just left returned with a youth that did not even look 20 years old. The moment Mo Wuji laid eyes on this youth, a hint of killing intent flashed across his eyes. This youth was like Shuai Guo, his vital blood had been sucked away, leaving behind a dispirited and withered body. "Eh, you have the Gold Horn Violet Dragon bloodline?" The moment this youth entered, Shuai Guo exclaimed in surprise Mo Wuji instantly came to an understanding; he stared coldly at Tang Anxuan and said, "So this is a blood sucking sect. Not only do you suck the blood of beasts, but of human beings as well." When he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Tang Anxuan¡¯s entire body shuddered in fear. He hurriedly knelt and said, "Senior is mistaken. Only the Tian Clan in the Mirage Mountain are the descendants of blood suckers and can cultivate the core Mirage Technique. The Mirage Technique requires peak grade demonic beast blood to cultivate. Because Shuai Guo and Lou Yang have the bloodline of godbeasts, Mirage Mountain¡¯s current Tian Clan young lord uses them to cultivate his Mirage Technique. As for the others, even though some cultivate the Mirage Technique, they have yet to absorb any vital blood." "You¡¯re talking about that trash that I wasted?" Mo Wuji said indifferently. "Yes, he is Mirage Mountain¡¯s current Tian Clan heir, Tian Zhikou. After he was wasted by senior, Mirage Mountain no longer has any Tian Clan heirs¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze landed on the Earthly Immortal Level 9 Tian Zizong and said calmly, "Looks like this fella is also a descendant of the Tian Clan." "Yes¡­" Tang Anxuan had only just uttered that word when a lightning bolt slammed against Tian Zizong. Tian Zizong was already heavily injured, but now with anothr lightning bolt, he was turned into meat juice. He didn¡¯t even have a chance to beg for mercy. "Does Mirage Mountain have any experts in the Immortal World?" Mo Wuji asked. Tang Anxuan shivered as he answered, "Tian Zhikou¡¯s ancestor, Senior Tian Tai, is an Immortal King expert¡­" Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t need to place an Immortal King in his eye. He looked at Lou Fuchi and Qu Lin and said, "Mirage Mountain sucked your son off his vital blood. What do you want to do?" Lou Fuchi naturally knew that Mo Wuji was trying to help them when he said these words. As long as he agreed, Mo Wuji could even help them raze the entire Mirage Mountain to the ground. His son had been tortured like so, was merely because he had the Gold Horn Violet Dragon bloodline; it was completely an unreasonable calamity. This anger, he, Lou Fuchi, really couldn¡¯t endure it. If no one offered to help, then he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. But now that Mo Wuji had expressed intentions to help, how could he let go of this opportunity? However, before he could speak, Qu Lin knelt down and said, "Many thanks Senior for offering a hand, allowing our entire family to reunite. I only wish to be able to leave with my son. Everything else is secondary." Hearing his wife¡¯s words, Lou Fuchi sighed. At the end of the day, Mirage Mountain was too strong. Even if the entire Mirage Mountain was destroyed, there were still cultivators that might not be in the mountain right now. Some of those cultivators could easily destroy his entire family. After, this Senior Mo wouldn¡¯t stay by their side and protect them all the time. The pale faced Lou Yang had already come to an understanding of the situation. He hurriedly said, "Senior, junior has something important to say." Chapter 593: Gold Horn Violet Dragon Chapter 593: Gold Horn Violet Dragon Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What¡¯s the matter?" Mo Wuji looked at Lou Yang, feeling rather confused. If there was really an important matter, it should not be said here. After all, he did not intend to kill everyone here. Even though Lou Yang was still young, he should understand such basic things. "Mirage Mountain has captured a Gold Horn Violet Dragon and has trapped it in Mirage Mountain¡¯s spirit pith pond," After he finished speaking, Lou Yang anxiously knelt down, "that Gold Horn Violet Dragon is my benefactor. Senior, please help¡­" There was really a Gold Horn Violet Dragon? Mo Wuji exhaled a breath of cold air. He did not thing too much about it when Lou Yang possessed the Gold Horn Violet Dragon bloodline. Some times, heredity was a complicated thing, Lou Yang¡¯s ancestor might have been a Gold Horn Violet Dragon and the bloodline might have skipped generations. Or perhaps, due to some fortuitous opportunity, he might have obtain some Gold Horn Violet Dragon. A Gold Horn Violet Dragon was an ancient dragon breed; it was incomparably priceless. Just a simple drop of a mature Gold Horn Violet Dragon¡¯s blood was an invaluable treasure that even Immortal Emperors would covet. An actual Gold Horn Violet Dragon and having the bloodline of the Gold Horn Violet Dragon were two completely different things." "That Gold Horn Violet Dragon gave me a vase of dragon saliva. Because I cultivated using that dragon saliva, I managed to obtain a sliver of the Gold Horn Violet Dragon bloodline, and that was also why I was caught by the Mirage Mountain. After I was caught by Mirage Mountain, they forced me to reveal where that young dragonling was. Then they caught that dragonling. I was the one that brought harm to that Gold Horn Violet Dragon," Lou Yang said all that in a single breath. When Tang Anxuan heard Lou Yang¡¯s words, his head started ringing. Just now, he was wholeheartedly praying that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t destroy his sect, and the matter of the Gold Horn Violet Dragon slipped out of his mind. Now that the matter had been revealed by Lou Yang, how was his Mirage Mountain going to get out of this? "I was the one who caught that Gold Horn Violet Dragon to refine my fleshly body. Even if you destroy my Mirage Mountain, there will be someone from the Immortal World to take care of you. Your rampage will not last for long, I, Ling Lian, will be waiting for you." Ling Lian already knew that there was no point for regrets, and he directly shouted at Mo Wuji angrily. After he said that, Ling Lian¡¯s primordial spirit suddenly started to disperse. From the looks of it, he was going to take this responsibility to his death. Mo Wuji snorted and sent a lightning bolt over. To disperse his primordial spirit in front of Mo Wuji; he must be dreaming. "Ah!" Ling Lian cried out in agony as his soul burnt. "Lead the way." Mo Wuji stared coldly at Tang Anxuan. His voice was no longer as kind. How could Tang Anxuan not know the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior, please follow me. That Gold Horn Violet Dragon has been living in great conditions. We have never mistreated it." "Lead the way." Mo Wuji snorted. As a person who stayed in the Immortal World before, Mo Wuji naturally knew of the Gold Horn Violet Dragon. Even in the Immortal World, this dragon was probably extinct. Now in the cultivation world, a Gold Horn Violet Dragon actually appeared. He did not intend to be like Mirage Mountain and suck this Gold Horn Violet Dragon¡¯s blood. However, he wanted to ask this Gold Horn Violet Dragon about where it came from. ¡­ As the number one sect in Hai Yi Continent, Mirage Mountain did have some clout. Even before they neared the huge spirit pith pond, everyone could already feel the dense spiritual energy. Mo Wuji also sighed in his heart; if he had such a spirit pith pond to cultivate back when he was in the cultivation world, why would he need to go searching all over the place for cultivation resources? The spiritual energy from the spirit pith pond was so dense that fogs visible to the eye were formed; a violet dragon that was not roughly 5 meters long had its four limbs shackled as it lay in the center of the spirit pith pond. The horn on this violet dragon was indeed gold in colour. From the looks of it, this was truly a Gold Horn Violet Dragon. "Big Brother Violet Dragon, I¡¯m sorry. You saved me, but I implicated you and got you caught by the Mirage Mountain." The mountain they reached the spirit pith pond, Lou Yang cried out with a voice filled with guilt. "They don¡¯t dare to kill me. One day, this entire sect will be squashed by my parents. Eh, this bird is not simple." The Gold Horn Violet Dragon was like Shuai Guo, not only could it talk, its voice was filled with pride. Eventually, it noticed Shuai Guo that was perched on Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder and it exclaimed in shock. "Oh, you know of this bird¡¯s origins?" Mo Wuji asked eagerly. Shuai Guo was considered his pet beast; it was just that until now, he didn¡¯t know what Shuai Guo was. If this violet dragon knew about it, then he was really interested in finding out. "Big Brother Violet Dragon, this senior is here to save you." Lou Yang knew of the Gold Horn Violet Dragon¡¯s pride and was worried that it might offend Mo Wuji, so he said anxiously. Before the Gold Horn Violet Dragon even said a word, Mo Wuji lifted his hand and made a few small motions with his fingers. The four huge shackles and the seals installed immediately disappeared; the Gold Horn Violet Dragon fell safely into the spirit pith pond. "Dao friend is really strong, many thanks dao friend for your saving grace." This Gold Horn Violet Dragon¡¯s EQ was not low; the moment it was released, it smiled and thanked Mo Wuji. "Let¡¯s talk after we leave this place." Mo Wuji knew that the legacy from a godbeast like this violet dragon was far from ordinary. He had many things which he wanted to ask this violet dragon, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t want to waste time here. "Wait¡­" The Gold Horn Violet Dragon cried, then it suddenly turned and sucked strongly. The dense spiritual energy formed a white cloud which got sucked away by the violet dragon. The spiritual energy in this spirit pith pond noticeably got thinner. However, the Gold Horn Violet Dragon didn¡¯t leave it at that as he continued to take a few more whiffs. In the pleading eyes of Tang Anxuan and co., they saw this Gold Horn Violet Dragon suck out a good half of the energy from their spirit pith pond. Only then, did it close its mouth and say, "We can go now." Shuai Guo stared at this Gold Horn Violet Dragon enviously. Unfortunately, it wasn¡¯t as capable as this violet dragon. If it was as capable, with it, this big lord around, how could this tiny dragon get a chance to absorb the spiritual energy? Mo Wuji lifted his hand and grabbed; Mirage Mountain¡¯s sect protecting array was like a thin piece of paper as it was easily torn by Mo Wuji. Thereafter, Mo Wuji waved his hand, sweeping up the Lou Family and the Gold Horn Violet Dragon, and they instantly vanished without a trace." Seeing Mo Wuji leave, Tang Anxuan immediately said, "Hurry and inform the Immortal World that someone had come and destroyed our Mirage Mountain." "But Senior Uncle Ling Lian has already fallen. We don¡¯t have the ability to communicate with the Immortal World¡­" Xing Feng said subconsciously. "Even if we have to initiate a blood array, we must let the Immortal World know of this matter. Otherwise, our Mirage Mountain will not be far from extermination. Whoever this person is, if he dares to bully our Mirage Mountain, he definitely wouldn¡¯t let things go so simply," Tang Anxuan said through gritted teeth. If Mo Wuji was still around, he would definitely sigh in praise; this fella¡¯s expression actually changed so much in a matter of seconds. ¡­ Tens of breaths later, Mo Wuji stopped on the peak of a huge mountain; the Lou Family landed by his side. The moment that Gold Horn Violet Dragon descended, he asked in surprise, "Dao friend is not from the cultivation world? But from the Immortal World?" It was indeed knowledgeable. Mo Wuji nodded and said, ¡®That¡¯s right. Later, I have some questions that I wish to ask you." Lou Fuchi and his wife grabbed the opportunity They knew that Mo Wuji had some matters to settle with the Gold Horn Violet Dragon, so they immediately expressed their gratitude, and at the same time, bid their farewells. Mo Wuji retrieved a flying ship and handed it to Lou Fuchi and said, "This is a Grade 2 immortal flying ship. I¡¯m giving it to you." "Ah¡­" Qu Lin cried in alarm. Even in Mirage Mountain, immortal equipments were core sect treasures. The main reason was because it was very hard for immortal equipment from the Immortal World to be brought to the cultivation world. The moment Lou Fuchi heard that it was a Grade 2 immortal equipment, his heart jolted. He hurriedly rejected it, "Senior, this is too excessive, I really don¡¯t dare to accept it. I haven¡¯t even repaid senior for helping us so how could we just accept senior¡¯s treasures?" Mo Wuji smiled and waved his hand, "This thing isn¡¯t very valuable to me. You guys just keep it. If the people from Mirage Mountain ever have any malicious intentions, at least you will have a method to escape." If he was going to help someone, he would do it to the end. This Grade 2 immortal equipment really didn¡¯t mean much to Mo Wuji; his own flying treasure was already a Grade 7 flying shuttle. As he recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s startling methods, Lou Fuchi started to understand that Mo Wuji was speaking the truth. He also knew that his family didn¡¯t really have anything to repay Mo Wuji. After eagerly expressing his thanks, he brought Qu Lin and Lou Yang and left. "I¡¯m called Mo Wuji." Waiting for the Lou Family to leave, Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. This Gold Horn Violet Dragon¡¯s power was far from his, but every Gold Horn Violet Dragon was a heaven defying existence, it will definitely be a mighty expert in the future. Mo Wuji did not want to make such an existence happy, which was why he was polite. "I¡¯m called Yan Li. Once again, many thanks friend for saving me," the Gold Horn Violet Dragon also replied extremely courteously. After it finished speaking, it lay its body on top of a huge stop, as though waiting for Mo Wuji to talk about conditions. "Aren¡¯t the dragon race surnamed Ao?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Yan Li said, "My Gold Horn Violet Dragon clan has always been surnamed Yan. What does the Ao even stand for." Mo Wuji did want to beat around the bush, and he was also too lazy to do so. He directly went straight to the point and asked, "I know that the Gold Horn Violet Dragon does not exist in the cultivation world. Even in the Immortal World, it is an incredibly rare existence. How did you appear in Hai Yi Continent?" Yan Li¡¯s IQ was clearly not low. It did not answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question, instead, it asked Mo Wuji a question, "Dao Friend Mo, if I¡¯m not wrong, dao friend should be from the Immortal World and want to ask how to get back, right?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said emotionally, "Exactly, I accidentally left the Immortal World and I don¡¯t know the way back. I have to ask Dao Friend Yan, do you know how I can return to the Immortal World?" Yan Li went silent for a moment, then it sized Mo Wuji up before saying, "Dao Friend Mo doesn¡¯t intend to drink my blood? Or even ask me for a bit of my blood?" Mo Wuji chuckled, "Do you think I¡¯m like Mirage Mountain? It wasn¡¯t very trouble for me to save you. And there¡¯s no need to talk about how you¡¯re just a young godbeast, even if you¡¯re a mature primordial godbeast, I wouldn¡¯t ask to drink your blood." "Dao Friend Mo¡¯s words are true?" Yan Li sprang off the huge rock and asked anxiously. Mo Wuji replied seriously, "Naturally it¡¯s true. I, Mo Wuji, never intended to lie to you." "Good, Brother Mo, you¡¯re my friend now. Actually, I do know how to enter the Immortal World, I know more than one method¡­" Yan Li said excitedly; it never thought a person wouldn¡¯t covet its vital blood. "Hurry and tell me," Mo Wuji said eagerly. He started to feel that his nomadic days roaming around the cultivation world were going to end. Chapter 594: A Mosquito Chapter 594: A Mosquito Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The first method is very simple. That is to follow an ascending cultivator into the Immortal World. The Law of the Heaven and Earth over Hai Yi Continent are perfect, almost every few years, a person would ascend into the Immortal World. The moment they ascend, a perfect ascension path will form between Hai Yi Continent and the Immortal World. With your ability, you would definitely be able to follow the ascending cultivator along this path into the Immortal World. However, this method has its dangers." Yan Li had clearly researched on the methods to ascend into the Immortal World; he was very confident as he spoke. Mo Wuji had also thought of the ascension path. Now that Yan Li had mentioned it, he hurriedly asked, "What¡¯s the danger?" He had gone to the Immortal World before. This should be different from his own continent; there shouldn¡¯t be any Half Immortal Domain so what¡¯s the danger? Yan Li explained, "Because these ascension paths will lead to the ascension pond in the Immortal World, and the ascension pond is guarded. The moment you go up, even if the Mirage Mountain didn¡¯t send people to deal with you, the Immortal World wouldn¡¯t allow other cultivators to use the ascension pond. Unless you have a huge backer in the Immortal World and no one dares to touch you." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: he did have a backer back in the Immortal World. He was an esteemed elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Logically, even if he used the ascension pond, no one would do anything to him right? Even the Mirage Mountain, when they know of his status, they shouldn¡¯t dare to touch him. If Mo Wuji knew that the Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s Immortal Emperor Lun Cai hated him to the core, and that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had already cast him aside, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have such thoughts. "Then what¡¯s the second method?" Mo Wuji already decided to use the ascension pond to enter the Immortal World. However, there¡¯s no harm learning about another method. Yan Li said, "The second method is to use the dragon race¡¯s Hidden Dragon Pool to enter the Immortal World¡­" "Hidden Dragon Pool?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Yan Li continued, "It¡¯s expected that you don¡¯t know of the Hidden Dragon Pool. Even descendants of the dragon race might not know that there¡¯s a path to the cultivation world from the Hidden Dragon Pool. In reality, when an outstanding disciple appears in the dragon race, he will be sent to the Hidden Dragon Pool to cultivate. That place is simply a cultivation holyland for dragon race geniuses." Mo Wuji said speechlessly, "If I use that method, wouldn¡¯t it be more dangerous than using the ascension pond?" "Not necessarily," Yan Li said resolutely, "there will definitely be danger if you use the ascension pond. However, if you sneak in through the Hidden Dragon Pool, it might be possible for you to be undiscovered. While it''s true that the Hidden Dragon Pool is the dragon race''s biggest secret, there aren''t many experts standing guard there. Moreover, since it''s the dragon race''s biggest secret, not anyone can just enter the Hidden Dragon Pool. Those years ago, my mother was training within the Hidden Dragon Pool and she accidentally found a pathway to the cultivation world. Eventually, after my mother got pregnant with me, she was worried that the Dragon King would cause trouble for her, and at the same time, she was scared that I would directly be killed. Thus, she secretly went into the Hidden Dragon Pool to give birth to me and sent me to the cultivation world." "You''re saying that only you and your mother know of this Hidden Dragon Pool?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise. Yan Li replied in uncertainty, "I can''t be sure about that. There are many geniuses from the dragon race that enter the Hidden Dragon Pool. If my mother was able to discover it, then others could do so too." Mo Wuji finally understood why Yan Li didn''t take the surname ''Ao¡¯, and even felt contempt towards that surname. So it turns out that Yan Li was a b*stard child and Yan Li''s father probably had nothing to do with the dragon race. It was exactly because of this that Yan Li didn''t feel any feelings of attachment towards the dragon race and revealed the matter of the Hidden Dragon Pool to him. Mo Wuji wouldn''t ask Yan Li about his family matters. As he prepared to ask Yan Li about the position to the pathway from the cultivation world to the Hidden Dragon Pool, Yan Li had already taken out a map and handed it to Mo Wuji, "This is the position of the Hidden Dragon Pool in Hai Yi Continent. It is within Hai Yi Continent''s because ocean. Follow this map and you should be able to find it." After Mo Wuji accepted the map, Yan Li took out a dragonscale and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, you have saved my life and your character is worthy of my respect. I''m giving this dragonscale to you, we will meet again in the Immortal World." "Cultivating in the Immortal World is far better than cultivating here. Why do you stat in the cultivation world?" Mo Wuji accepted the dragonscale with thanks, then he asked Yan Li curiously. Yan Li said helplessly, If I go to the Immortal World, before I even mature, I might already have become somebody''s lunch. Also, cultivating in the cultivation world would make one more attuned and have a greater understanding towards the Law of the Heaven and Earth." Mo Wuji took out a vase of billion year Immortal Wood Marrow and handed it to Yan Li, "This is some good stuff that I obtained. I''m giving some to you." "Billion year Immortal Wood Marrow?" The moment Yan Li opened the vase, he cried out in pleasant surprise; this thing was too valuable. To him, the billion year Immortal Wood Marrow was simply a timely treasure that couldn''t be purchased even if one wanted to. He promptly kept this vase of Immortal Wood Marrow up and said gratefully, "Big brother, you really helped me big time. This Immortal Wood Marrow is very useful to me." Mo Wuji laughed at Yan Li''s straightforward and candid character, he smiled and said, "You gave me your dragonscale, and even told me about the Hidden Dragon Pool, what does a vase of Immortal Wood Marrow even count for? Cultivate properly and go to the Immortal World. I have some urgent matter back in the Immortal World so I won''t stay here for much longer." Mo Wuji was indeed in a rush to get back to the Immortal World. He didn''t know of Cen Shuyin''s situation and whether she had successfully been revived. Yan Li vomited out a green pearl and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Big Brother, this is something that my mother gave me those years ago. If you see my mother, please pass this pearl to her. Tell her that I''m doing well and she doesn''t need to worry about me." "If I meet your mother, I will definitely do that." Mo Wuji did not reject Yan Li''s request as he kept the pearl. Yan Li''s mother would definitely have the same aura as Yan Li. If he were to meet her, he would be able to recognise her. "Then Big Brother, let me send you to Yi." Yan Li had already treated Mo Wuji as his best friend. The way that the dragon race makes friend were different; the moment they recognised you, they would treat that you as a true friend. Otherwise, they wouldn''t bother with you at all. Mo Wuji laughed, "Yan Li, you better find a place to cultivate. There are many experts here. If you get caught again, it wouldn''t be so easy to escape. Oh right, I still have a question that I forgot to ask. You know of Shuai Guo''s origins? Is he a Three Footed Golden Crow?" Mo Wuji had always suspected that Shuai Guo was a Three Footed Golden Crow. After all, Shuai Guo had a natural affinity to fire, it looked like a crow, and it also had three feet. Its only difference with a Three Footed Golden Crow was that it actually had three horns on its head. When Shuai Guo heard that Mo Wuji was asking about its origins, it also perked its ears and stared at Yan Li. Even though it knew of the Gold Horn Violet Dragon in its memories, it did not know of its own origins. At least, for now. After all, it''s legacy hadn''t fully appeared in his memories. Yan Li stared at Shuai Guo in appreciation, "Big Brother, this bird looks like a mutated Three Footed Golden Crow, but in reality, it is not a Three Footed Golden Crow. In fact, it is a sort of ancient fierce bug¡­" "Hey, little violet dragon, you can put nonsense in your mouth but you can''t just randomly throw it out of your mouth. Don''t bullsh*t us. I''m so cute, in what way am I fierce? Don''t try to lie to my lord." When Shuai Guo heard Yan Li talking bad things about it, it immediately blurted out in anger. "Ancient fierce bug?" Mo Wuji also thought that it was rather funny. Shuai Guo was quite ugly but it was clearly a bird. So how was it related to a fierce bug? Yan Li did not pay heed to Shuai Guo''s words. It continued, "It is actually a Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito¡­" "What?" Mo Wuji exclaimed in shock. This answer really sent him into disbelief. What was the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito? Of course he knew what it was. He knew about it before he started cultivating. During that time, he was could be considered a professional on it back on Earth. Because the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito was one of the fierce bugs in Chinese legends. [1] This mosquito was notorious. It continuously sucked on the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother till it became nothing but an empty shell. It even sucked away three tiers of the Tier 12 Virtuous Golden Lotus, causing the Virtuous Golden Lotus to be Tier 9. Together with the Six Winged Sky Silkworm, the Many Eyed Golden Centipede, the Nine Tailed Scorpion and the Nine Headed Worm, the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito is one of the five great desolate bugs. But these are stories of legend¡­ That''s not right. Mo Wuji suddenly recalled of the Tier 12 Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Since he could see the Tier 12 Red Karmic Fire Lotus, then the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito wasn''t something inconceivable. The Red Karmic Fire Lotus was also an item from the fabled Yellow Springs. But didn''t it also appear in the Broken World''s third level? Could Shuai Guo really be that great mosquito? It really seems like it could be true. Back when he was sucking that Tian Zhikou¡¯s vital blood, it seemed to be extremely experienced, and it seemed to long for more. From the looks of it, sucking blood was in its blood. Mo Wuji sighed with emotion. Others kept dragons, tigers or leopards as pets, but he was rearing a mosquito. When Mo Wuji was still in disbelief, Yan Li continued, "Shuai Guo naturally isn''t the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito from legends. However, it does have the bloodline of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito. Its bloodline also contains some traces of the Three Footed Golden Crow and even a hint of Ci Tie. But even so, it does not change the fact that it is a Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito. Over a few years, big brother will naturally see it." Shuai Guo lowered its head. It was feeling very dejected; it felt that what Yan Li was saying was true. It never expected that despite its handsome looks, it was actually a huge mosquito. Not only that, from Yan Li''s words, it had a fierce and notorious reputation. Of course, its handsome looks was only based on its own judgement. Mo Wuji soon gave up thinking on whether Shuai Guo was a mosquito or not. The reason why he asked Yan Li that question wasn''t because he wanted to do anything about Shuai Guo, but merely because he was curious about Shuai Guo''s origins. "Yan Li, thanks for telling me about Shuai Guo''s origins. I will be leaving now. We will meet again in the Immortal World." With that, Mo Wuji took a step forward and instantly disappeared. Mo Wuji had a good impression of Yan Li. Not only did Yan Li teach him about the two methods, Yan Li saved Lou Yang and even gave Lou Yang its dragon saliva. That was enough to show that it had a genuine heart. Seeing Mo Wuji disappear, Yan Li sighed, "I never thought that there would be such a forthright human being. This big brother is really not bad." [1] 5 Bugs, 7 Birds, 9 Beasts. Really interesting stuff. Chapter 595: Searching For An Ascending Cultivator Chapter 595: Searching For An Ascending Cultivator Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Lord, I also didn''t know that I was a mosquito." Shuai Guo was perched on Mo Wuji''s shoulder. It was slightly worried that Mo Wuji, its lord, would be disgusted at it because it was a mosquito then abandon it. Mo Wuji casually said, "If you''re a mosquito, then so be it. However, even if you''re a mosquito, if you want to stay by my side, you can''t casually suck others¡¯ blood." Hearing that Mo Wuji didn''t despise it, Shuai Guo immediately said delightedly, "Lord, I promise that I will listen to you." ¡­ Mirage Mountain Main Hall. Thousands of high grade immortal crystals were placed at different positions. Ten young men and women were also standing at the various spots. At the center, there was a whirlpool-shaped diagram of the Yin Yang Fish. In Hai Yi Continent, the only power that could bring out thousands of high grade immortal crystals was Mirage Mountain. An emaciated man was standing right in the center of the Yin Yang Fish diagram. Including Tang Anxuan, ten experts of Mirage Mountain anxiously stood at the four corners of the Yin Yang Fish diagram. The emaciated, bony old man shouted loudly and his elemental energy burst forth strongly. The 10 experts around him also burst forth with their elemental energy. Soon, this Yin Yang Fish diagram became an elemental energy whirlpool. That elemental whirlpool and that whirlpool diagram resonated strongly, seemingly wanting to merge with one another. The old man waved his hand and an energy blade sliced through the air; the heads of the ten young men and women fell off their necks. Ten arrows of blood gushed out and they were immediately channeled into the whirlpool by the old man. The Yin Yang Fish in the whirlpool started to buzz. After an unknown period of time, a faint outline of a figure appeared in the air above the Yin Yang Fish. An extremely severe tone could be heard, "What happened in Mirage Mountain that the blood sacrificial method has to be used to communicate with the Immortal World?" Tang Anxuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Replying Senior Granduncle, Mirage Mountain had been broken into recently. Grand Elder Five Transformations Rogue Immortal Ling Lian had been killed. Elder Tian Zizong, Han Qi and Fei Ping had been killed as well. Young Lord Tian Zhikou has been wasted of his cultivation; the Gold Horn Violet Dragon has been snatched away; the sect protecting array has been torn apart; the immortal pith pond¡­" Before Tang Anxuan finished speaking, that voice uttered in rage, "Who dares? And how was an ordinary cultivator able to kill his way into my Mirage Mountain?" Tang Anxuan lifted his hand and an image appeared in mid air, "It''s this person. His name is Mo Wuji and he should be from the Immortal World. He is extremely powerful; even Elder Ling Lian wasn''t able to force him to use his magic treasure. His main attack method was with lightning bolts." "Mo Wuji? What a familiar name¡­" After that faint outline muttered that sentence, he went into silence. After some time, he cried out agitatedly, "This person is really Mo Wuji?" "Yes, he is indeed called Mo Wuji," Tang Anxuan said, confused. "Hahahaha¡­" That figure suddenly chortled, as though he had met with some joyous event. Tang Anxuan and the various elders of Mirage Mountain glanced at each other in confusion. Tang Anxuan eventually could not endure it as he asked, "Senior Granduncle, why did you laugh when you found out that he''s Mo Wuji?" The figure in the sacrificial blood array had already calmed down. He chuckled as he said, "As the saying goes: You bring yourself to ruin. This person did have some status; he was an elder at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. However, he offended Grand Emperor Lun Cai. In Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s anger, he destroyed Mo Wuji''s pill court as well as the people inside. Even if Mo Wuji had escaped into the cultivation world, Grand Emperor Lun Cai wouldn''t let go of him. Hurry and find out about his whereabouts and report it to me. Every month, we will open a communication pathway from Mirage Mountain to the Immortal World." If an Immortal Emperor did want to make a trip to the cultivation world, there were indeed some methods. ... Mo Wuji did not go to Yi Sea to find the Hidden Dragon Pool. To him, there was a much simpler method so why would he take the risk with the Hidden Dragon Pool? Using the ascension pond was the simplest method. Even though the Law of the Heaven and Earth over Hai Yi Continent was perfect and the spiritual energy was sufficient, it wasn''t that easy to find an ascending cultivator. Moreover, Mo Wuji wasn''t very familiar with Hai Yi Continent. Supposedly, within a few years, there should be an ascending cultivator in Hai Yi Continent. However, in reality, there might not be one even after several decades; or there might be four to five cultivators ascending within the same year. After hanging around Hai Yi Continent for several months, Mo Wuji got wind of a cultivator that was about to ascend. However, Mo Wuji found that this cultivator was from Jade Lady Sect; this left Mo Wuji feeling rather troubled. After all, he had been here for quite some time; Mo Wuji had a rough understanding towards Jade Lady Sect. This was a sect without men. Not only did they not have any male disciples, they did not even allow any men to enter within a 100 mile radius of their sect. Any men that entered would be provoking the sect. With Mo Wuji''s ability, he naturally couldn''t be stopped even if he were to openly walk into Jade Lady Sect. Even though it had only been a few months, Mo Wuji''s name had already spread throughout Hai Yi Continent. Probably no sect would dare show any disrespect to this expert that could casually kill the elders of Mirage Mountain. It was just that Mo Wuji wasn''t willing to use such tyrannical means to enter Jade Lady Sect. Him entering Jade Lady Sect would not mean much to him, but it would definitely affect the reputation of Jade Lady Sect. With Mo Wuji''s immense cultivation, even if the Jade Lady Sect''s sect protecting array was any stronger, it wouldn''t hinder him at all. Since he couldn''t openly walk into Jade Lady Sect, Mo Wuji decided that he would secretly sneak in and the that ascending female cultivator. He would then discuss with her whether he could follow her as she ascended into the Immortal World. Mo Wuji believed that with the pills and treasures that he had on him, he shouldn''t meet with any problems during that discussion. ¡­ Jade Lady Sect. It could only be considered an intermediate grade sect in Hai Yi Continent. It had at least been a hundred years since the sect had an ascending cultivator. This time, Jade Lady Xu Dai was going to ascend. To the Jade Lady Sect, it was their big day. Xu Dai did not enter the Jade Lady Sect for long. If she were to count the number of years she was here, it probably wouldn''t hit 100. In less than a century, Xu Dai cultivated to the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage and was about to ascend to the Immortal World. Her talent was definitely top notch. Supposedly, for a talent like this, the next step for Jade Lady Sect was simple: it was to prepare a mountain for Xu Dai for her tribulation, then gather the experts in the sect to be her defender and wait for Xu Dai to ascend. But in reality, Jade Lady Sect did not prepare a mountain for Xu Dai. At this moment, Jade Lady Sect¡¯s Sect Head Huang Ruo had an expression of vexation across her face. There was one reason for that: Xu Dai wanted to undergo her tribulation outside the sect. Others would desperately want to rush back to the sect for a safer ascension but Xu Dai thought otherwise; it would be weird if Huang Ruo didn¡¯t have this bitter expression on her face. Was it easy for Jade Lady Sect to have a cultivator that could ascend? It was much more dangerous for Xu Dai to ascend outside the sect. If she encountered an evil cultivator, Xu Dai might be plotted against during her tribulation. Moreover, undergoing tribulation within the sect would allow the Earthly Immortals within the sect to observe the process; it would definitely be beneficial for the sect. "Sect Head, the reason why I¡¯m leaving the sect to undergo tribulation is not something that I can easily disclose. But no matter what, I, Xu Dai, am a lady of the Jade Lady Sect." A tall and slender woman bowed towards Sect Head Huang Ruo. Her tone was especially sincere and it even had a hint of reluctance. Huang Ruo sighed and said, "You need to be careful. Before you undergo your tribulation, take note of your surroundings." "Yes, disciple understands. Disciple will be leaving now. In the future, disciple will meet Sect Head Jing Hou and the various senior grandaunties in the Immortal World." With that, Xu Dai turned and brought out a flying sword. She sped away on top of that flying sword. Outside Jade Lady Sect, a concealed Mo Wuji looked as Xu Dai left into the distance. He was confused; why didn¡¯t Xu Dai want to undergo her tribulation in the sect? Well, this was better for him. It saved him the trouble of sneaking into Jade Lady Sect. Mo Wuji did not stop Xu Dai, instead, he silently followed behind her. In his perspective, Xu Dai was preparing for her tribulation, so she would definitely go to an empty and remote area. That would mean that she would be flying for a few days at least. What went out of Mo Wuji¡¯s expectations was that after a short four hours, Xu Dai stopped outside a mountain valley. This place definitely wasn¡¯t suitable for tribulation. Whether Xu Dai was going to undergo her tribulation here or not, Mo Wuji decided to come forward and talk to her. He landed in front of Xu Dai and clasped his fists, "Are you Dao Friend Xu Dai?" Xu Dai was, after all, a Great Circle Earthly Immortal Expert. Except the rogue immortals, she was the highest level existence on this planet. But at this instant, Mo Wuji had appeared in front of her and she wasn¡¯t able to detect it at all. Her face instantly changed and she immediately retrieved her magic treasure. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Dao Friend Xu, please don¡¯t misunderstand. I don¡¯t have any ill intentions, I only wish to discuss something with you." "What is it?" Xu Dai stared at Mo Wuji warily. She was actually unable to see through Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation. Could he be a powerful rogue immortal? "I¡¯m Mo Wuji, I¡¯m from¡­" Mo Wuji only said his name and didn¡¯t even manage to say where he came from but an expression of agitation appeared in Xu Dai¡¯s eyes as she hurriedly kept her magic treasure and said, "Senior is the Mo Wuji from the Immortal World? The Mo Wuji who killed his way into Mirage Mountain?" These words clearly showed how agitated Xu Dai was. Mo Wuji was rather confused. He nodded, "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m that Mo Wuji. You seem to be looking for me." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t suprised that Xu Dai heard of him. And it was also expected that his incident with Mirage Mountain was known throughout Hai Yi Continent. What left him confused was that the two of them didn¡¯t even know each other. Must Xu Dai be so agitated? "Junior was indeed looking for senior," Xu Dai said respectfully. "What¡¯s the matter? If I can help you, and if it doesn¡¯t go against my dao ideals, I will definitely lend a hand," Mo Wuji said. He came here to ask Xu Dai for help. Thus, if Xu Dai needed his help with something, he naturally wouldn¡¯t reject it. Xu Dai inhaled deeply, then she said, "Did Senior offend an Immortal Emperor in the Immortal World, called Lun Cai?" Now, Mo Wuji was more confused. He had heard of Immortal Emperor Lun Cai; that fella was really a tyrant, when his concubine was sick, he forcefully called all the immortal doctors to examine her. Mo Wuji really looked down on a person; this fella was simply a rogue. However, he had never met Lun Cai before. How did he offend Lun Cai? Chapter 596: Razing Mirage Mountain To The Ground Chapter 596: Razing Mirage Mountain To The Ground Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I received news that the Immortal World¡¯s Immortal Emperor Lun Cai had destroyed your pill house and even killed the people inside," When Xu Dai finally delivered this message to Mo Wuji, her heart felt relieved. "What?" Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent filled the air. An indescribable raging anger brewed within his heart; he wasn¡¯t even acquainted with Grand Emperor Lun Cai, why did this fella do such things to him? Feeling Mo Wuji¡¯s icy killing intent, even though Xu Dai was a Great Circle Earthly Immortal, she still subconsciously took a few steps back. Only then, did Mo Wuji force himself to calm down. He asked in a low voice, "Where did you here that from? Didn¡¯t anyone in the Immortal World try to stop him?" He was an esteemed elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. When Lun Cai acted against his men, shouldn¡¯t the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance have stood up for him? Xu Dai continued, "I¡¯m not sure about that. I only heard that you are an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, but the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has already given up on you and formed an agreement with Lun Cai." "Crack crack¡­" Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly. Even though Mo Wuji did have intentions of seeking asylum when he joined the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he did acknowledge the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, and if the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance needed him, he would not have hesitated to offer his help. But now, after the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance believed that he was dead, they actually betrayed him. Indeed, one could only depend on oneself in the Immortal World. Any form of external strength was just an illusion. Only when you are within their interests, they help you. But once you no longer have any meaning, you would be directly thrown into the rubbish bin. Mo Wuji sighed gloomily. At this point, he really wanted to charge up into the Immortal World and throw that Grand Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s neck into his Scholar¡¯s Heart. Eventually, Mo Wuji decided to calm himself down. Whether it was Grand Emperor Lun Cai or the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, he was but an ant to them; he might not even be an ant. If he wanted revenge, he would need to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage. There were countless of geniuses in the world, but many of them were unable to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage in their lifetime. Clearly, if he wanted to become an Immortal Emperor, it would take a long, long time. Suppressing the fire within his heart, Mo Wuji looked at Xu Dai and asked, "Now, tell me how you know of this." When Xu Dai heard this, her eyes turned red and her breathing got erratic. After some time, she said, "My younger sister was the one who told me this. Us sisters were both disciples of the Jade Lady Sect. The two of us have a secret, that is, right before we die, we could use our primordial spirit to instantly sent a message to the other person. Months before this, my sister suddenly sent a message that she was caught to become a blood sacrifice for Mirage Mountain¡¯s array to communicate with the Immortal World. Her head was sliced off, together with 9 other young men and women, by the Mirage Mountain and their fresh blood was used to fuel the array. Right before her primordial spirit dispersed, she told me everything." Mo Wuji knew that Xu Dai wasn¡¯t lying to him; with her ability, Xu Dai wasn¡¯t able to lie to him Moreover, Xu Dai wouldn¡¯t even know of Lun Cai otherwise. He suddenly felt some regret; he regreted that he didn¡¯t steel his heart to destroy Mirage Mountain. He glanced at Shuai Guo and he felt a little guilty; it was because he didn¡¯t really place much importance on Shuai Guo. If Mirage Mountain had captured Cen Shuyin or Yan¡¯Er and sucked their blood, would he have endured his anger and refrained from destroying Mirage Mountain? Definitely not. He would immediately have burnt Mirage Mountain to the ground. "You want me to help you to destroy Mirage Mountain?"" Mo Wuji asked. If Xu Dai wanted to destroy Mirage Mountain, he really wouldn¡¯t mind helping her. He wouldn¡¯t feel any guilt destroying that sect. Xu Dai shook her head, "I don¡¯t dare, and it¡¯s not because I¡¯m afraid of death. But if I work with senior to destroy Mirage Mountain, my Jade Lady Sect would eventually suffer from that. Jade Lady Sect has raised me, so I can¡¯t do that." Mo Wuji nodded, "I understand. Feel free to ascend. I will eradicate Mirage Mountain by myself." At this point, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart only contained killing intent. Any previous notions of mercy had already vanished without a trace. Previously, when he showed mercy, Mirage Mountain didn¡¯t seem to understand that, and even treated him as their greatest enemy. Since that¡¯s the case, why did he show mercy? Grand Emperor Lun Cai had destroyed his roots in the Immortal World, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had kicked him out, and now this Mirage Mountain had backstabbed him. If he didn¡¯t eradicate Mirage Mountain, he really couldn¡¯t quell the flames in his heart. Xu Dia hurriedly said, "Senior, I will take revenge for my own sister. The one who killed my sister was Mirage Mountain¡¯s Elder Dai Qi. He is also at Earthly Immortal Level 9 and I believe that he would soon ascend into the Immortal World. I will be waiting for him in the Immortal World, and I will kill him. I only hope that when my cultivation gets higher and I wish to destroy Mirage Mountain, senior would lend me a hand then." Mo Wuji chuckled, releasing the dejection he felt in his heart, "To me, if I can take revenge now, I won¡¯t wait till tomorrow. If I can take revenge tomorrow, then I wouldn¡¯t wait for the next day. In the future, when you want to destroy the Immortal World¡¯s Mirage Mountain and if we were to meet again, I would naturally lend a hand. But now, I am going to pull the cultivation world¡¯s Mirage Mountain out from its roots. If you¡¯re not in a hurry, you can wait here for me¡­" When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he took a step out and he already disappeared in front of Xu Dai¡¯s eyes. Now, he needed to kill. He didn¡¯t want to simply kill a person within ten steps, but he wanted to kill ten people in a single step. His path to revenge was going to start with Mirage Mountain. By the time Xu Dai reacted, Mo Wuji was already gone. She really wanted to follow Mo Wuji and take her revenge, but she couldn¡¯t. It wasn¡¯t because she was afraid of death, but because she was really afraid of implicating the Jade Lady Sect. ¡­ Even though multiple experts of Mirage Mountain were killed by Mo Wuji a few months ago, Tang Anxuan wasn¡¯t dejected. For one, that vexing Tian Zhikou had been wasted and a few powerful elders had been killed. Not only that, he had obtained large amounts of cultivation resources from the Immortal World. In these few months, his cultivation raised from Earthly Immortal Stage Level 4 to Level 5. He was sure that after a few years, he, Tang Anxuan, would be an existence at the Great Circle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. Mirage Mountain was indeed very strong. How many other sects were there like the Mirage Mountain, to communicate so frequently with the Immortal World? Mirage Mountain was the only one. It wasn¡¯t simply because Mirage Mountain¡¯s cultivation technique was impressive, but also because Mirage Mountain had an inter-world communication secret. Today, Tang Anxuan was especially happy. Because, Mirage Mountain¡¯s sect protecting array was finally completely repaired. Just at this moment, a violent explosion shook the entire Mirage Mountain. "What¡¯s going on?" Tang Anxuan immediately charged to the entrance. The first thing he saw was Mo Wuji. Unlike last time, Mo Wuji was wielding a magic treasure. The magic treasure was a saber. That explosion just now was from Mo Wuji destroying Mirage Mountain¡¯s sect protecting array with his saber. "Senior Mo, why have you come?" Tang Anxuan¡¯s heart sunk. Even though he had sent people to investigate for Mo Wuji¡¯s whereabouts, the thing he wanted the least was for Mo Wuji to appear in his Mirage Mountain. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even be bothered to answer him. He swung his saber and a white light flashed. Tang Anxuan¡¯s body was cut directly in half. A few elders that came over didn¡¯t even get to saw a word as that white light continued to sail through the air and cut them in half. "Boom Boom Boom!" At this point, Mirage Mountain was rumbling with noise. Whether it was the sect head, or the elder, or a disciple, as long as they appeared, they would be sliced by a white light. A sect that had lasted for countless of ages was now reduced to dust under Mo Wuji¡¯s saber. A few cultivators that heard of Mo Wuji¡¯s arrival came to spectate. These cultivators knew that Mo Wuji was from the Immortal World and the treasures within Mirage Mountain was simply rubbish to Mo Wuji. However, it was different for them. They were from the cultivation world. The moment Mo Wuji left, the treasures within Mirage Mountain were there for the picking. Mo Wuji did not stay in Mirage Mountain for long. In merely half an incense¡¯s time, Mirage Mountain¡¯s gate and the sect protecting array had been reduced to dust. Mirage Mountain¡¯s ten mountains had also been razed to the ground. As for the pill houses, the scriptures library, the spirit pith pond¡­ they were all turned into fine powder. Just when Mo Wuji left, countless of cultivators swarmed in. At this point, Mirage Mountain was like a secret domain. Whoever entered first would be able to reap more rewards. As for the low levelled disciples that Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to kill, they were immediately faced with this countless surge of people and they could only lament with emotion. Only a few of these disciples speedily threw off their Mirage Moutain disciple robes and joined in the ravaging. The news of Mirage Mountain¡¯s destruction instantly spread throughout Hai Yi Continent. While countless of cultivators headed towards Mirage Mountain in search for treasures, many of them also raided Mirage Mountain¡¯s mines, merchant houses, etc. Within a single night, Hai Yi Continent¡¯s strongest sect had dispersed like a cloud. To establish such a legacy required countless of years. But to destroy it, only one incense of time was needed. ¡­ Xu Dai had only just received news of Mirage Mountain¡¯s ruin when Mo Wuji appeared in front of her. "Senior, you were able to destroy Mirage Moutain so quickly?" Xu Dai¡¯s voice was trembling; she was still in a state of disbelief. She had only just received news from her sect that Mirage Mountain was razed to the ground by Mo Wuji and countless of cultivators were flooding into Mirage Mountain. That means to say, Hai Yi Continent¡¯s Mirage Mountain was completely screwed. Mo Wuji handed a storage ring to Xu Dai, "Thanks for saving my life. If you didn¡¯t tell me that bit of information, I might have died. This ring is just a token of my appreciation. Also, I suggest that you go back to your sect to undergo your tribulation. That would be better." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t exaggerating. According to the current circumstances, the moment he entered the Immortal World, he would be grabbed and sent to Grand Emperor Lun Cai. As for his previous intentions to use his status from the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it felt so laughable. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had already given up on him. Even if they knew that he was alive, they wouldn¡¯t be so foolish to think that he would still be part of them. It was very likely that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would even act against him. A huge alliance like the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance definitely wouldn¡¯t allow a disaffected pill refining genius like him to survive. Chapter 597: Physique Tempering Chapter 597: Physique Tempering Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Many thanks senior. I was also intending to return to the sect." The reason why Xu Dai left was primarily because she wanted to search for Mo Wuji, and at the same time, she wanted to see whether there was any opportunity for her to kill Dai Qi. Now that Mo Wuji had already flattened the entire Mirage Mountain, she no longer had any regrets. When she got to the Immortal World, she would still go to the Immortal World¡¯s Mirage Mountain for revenge. Her innocent sister had been used as a blood sacrifice; she wasn¡¯t going to simply let Mirage Mountain go. Xu Dai was very clear that for an immortal like Mo Wuji, it was better for her to accept his gratitude. Seeing Xu Dai accept his ring, Mo Wuji continued speaking, "There¡¯s a defensive treasure in that ring. You can refine it. That will guarantee that you will be able to pass your Heavenly Immortal Tribulation. I will be leaving now. If we have the opportunity, we will meet again in the Immortal World." Mo Wuji knew that he needed to get back to the Immortal World as soon as possible. However, he wasn¡¯t able to use the method of the ascension pond, so the only way left was through the Hidden Dragon Pool. ¡­ Yi. This was Hai Yi Continent¡¯s largest ocean. Mo Wuji was confident that with his current spiritual will, he would be able to reach the opposite bank if he was at Zhen Xing¡¯s Sky Sea. However, at Yi, his spiritual will wasn¡¯t even able to scan other tracks of land. One could clearly see how much bigger Hai Yi Continent was as compared to Zhen Xing. Mo Wuji was at the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage and he also had a map. Thus, he only needed half a month¡¯s time to get to the rough location of the Hidden Dragon Pool. This was a patch of reef, and the reef was even very dense. It looked like a marsh with many black mounts of soil. In Yi Sea, there were many such dense patches of reefs. It was exactly because these reefs look rather similar, one would easily get mistaken. However, Yan Li¡¯s map was very clear. Even though the sea was extremely deep, the moment Mo Wuji arrived, his spiritual will was quickly able to find a submerged reef that was in the shape of a bull¡¯s horn. Mo Wuji sent Shuai Guo into his Undying World while he dived into the sea. Following this horn shaped reef, Mo Wuji reached the seabed after an incense¡¯s time. This seabed was clearly enveloped by some sort of natural seals as there weren¡¯t any marine life. Mo Wuji was an existence that was near to the Grade 5 array master level; he was soon able to locate the seabed¡¯s natural seal. What left Mo Wuji dumbfounded was that even with his proficiency with arrays, he was still unable to discern what kind of concealment array this was. If he didn¡¯t even understand this array, it was naturally impossible for him to enter. After tossing around for two entire days, Mo Wuji decided to go back and question Yan Li. However, he suddenly recalled that if Yan Li told him about this place, then Yan Li would definitely know of this concealment array. Since that was the case, why didn¡¯t Yan Li inform him about it? Could it be that one must be in the dragon race to be able to get past this seal? The moment Mo Wuji thought about the dragon race, he immediately thought of the dragonscale that Yan Li gave him. Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved the dragonscale. Indeed, the moment he brought the dragonscale out, the concealment array started to hum. Immediately, a crack the size of a person appeared within his spiritual will. Mo Wuji hurriedly flashed into that gap. In his heart, he was speechless. That fella actually gave him a puzzle, wasting two days of his time. It was just as Mo Wuji predicted: after he entered, he was greeted by a spatial gate. Even though Mo Wuji still wasn¡¯t able to install a spatial gate that could travel through worlds, he was not unfamiliar with spatial gates. There were various kinds of spatial gates. The relatively simple kind of spatial gates allowed one to travel through a distance; Mo Wuji was able to install such spatial gates. There was also another kind of spatial gate, one that crossed through worlds. To install a world-crossing spatial gate, not only must one¡¯s Array Dao reach the peak of the Immortal World, one¡¯s cultivation also mustn¡¯t be too low. If the cultivation was too low, it would be very difficult to install the spatial gate no matter how good one was with arrays. Mo Wuji did not hesitate; the faster he returned to the Immortal World, the better. In the cultivation world, no matter how hard he worked, it would still be impossible for him to raise his abilities. If he was unable to raise his abilities, then how was he going to take his revenge. Thus, to raise his abilities as soon as possible, he could only return to the Immortal World. The moment he entered the spatial gate, a powerful enveloped Mo Wuji, sending Mo Wuji away. Just when Mo Wuji wanted to extend his spiritual, small bits of tiny sharp light swarmed towards Mo Wuji. If it was just these tiny sharp light, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t really care about it; he would only suffer a few minor injuries at the most. However, these minute light soon formed a scale-like whirlpool of blade light. These blade light grinded away Mo Wuji¡¯s clothes in a short time. Not only that, even Mo Wuji¡¯s skin got scraped away by this blade light one layer at a time. Mo Wuji anxiously sent his storage ring into his Undying World; he was worried these this scale-like whirlpool light would tear his storage ring apart. The whirlpool light got stronger and stronger. Towards the end, it felt like some steel needles were being stabbed into his meat. Even with his domain, he could only block against a bit of it. This Hidden Dragon Pool was heading towards the Immortal World; Mo Wuji knew that it would not simply take one to two hours. Even though its a spatial gate, it wouldn¡¯t even be as short as one to two days. If he had to constantly use his domain to protect himself, he would eventually run out of energy. Fortunately, he had a page of the Book of Luo. Even if this place was any more ruthless, it still would be able to rip into his Book of Luo. At this instant, however, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t take his Book of Luo out. Instead, he started to circulate his physique tempering technique and started to train his fleshly body. Way before this, Mo Wuji had no contact whatsoever with training the physique. When he got to the Immortal World, he had always been searching for a good physique tempering method, so he started researching on the various kinds of physique tempering techniques and specially tried to understand what tempering the physique really meant. It was only until he obtain the witch race¡¯s physique tempering technique, did he have a complete understanding towards physique tempering. For an average cultivator that had a primordial spirit, his weakest point was the fleshly body. This was because cultivators cultivate the primordial spirit and learn magical skills, but they do not temper their fleshly body. This was why for most cultivators, their fleshly body was their weakest point. Cultivators also know that their fleshly body was weak, which was why they created all sorts of defensive magic treasures. But in reality, even the strongest of defensive treasures was unable to compare the strongest fleshly body. It was just that a cultivator had to spend countless of years and resources just to cultivate their primordial spirit. Then if they were to consider cultivating their fleshly body as well, there was no need to talk about how they might not have the right technique, even if they obtained a proper technique manual, they would not want to spend the time and effort to train their fleshly body as well. According to Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding, there are six stages to physique tempering. They are: Mortal, Truth, Spirit, Immortal, God, Saint. Each stage was then further separated into nine levels. For those who have never cultivated, or practise the ordinary martial arts of the mortal world, they basically have Mortal Physiques. Once one cultivates and reaches the Yuan Dan Stage, even if they never trained their bodies before, their fleshly body would strengthen and become a Truth Physique. Even if you cultivated to the Earthly Immortal Stage, as long as you didn¡¯t train your body, you would still have a Truth Physique. The only difference was that the Yuan Dan Stage was Truth Physique 1 while the Earthly Immortal Stage was Truth Physique Level. Only through passing the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation and becoming a true Heavenly Immortal, the fleshly body would receive another upgrade and become a Spirit Physique. For many cultivators, even if they ascended, in their entire lives, the level of their fleshly body would linger around the Spirit Physique Stage. Some might not even have a Spirit Physique and stay stuck in the Truth Physique Stage. Only a portion of cultivators have extremely strong Immortal King Tribulations, even if they didn¡¯t train their body, after advancing into the Immortal King Stage, their fleshly body would also advance and become an Immortal Physique. In the Immortal World, the Immortal Physique was basically the highest point. Even if you¡¯re an Immortal Emperor, if you didn¡¯t have any secrets or any unique cultivation method, the fleshly body would only reach the Immortal Physique Stage, and it would even be very hard to break past Immortal Physique Level 7. Only cultivators that train their fleshly bodies would be able to break past the Immortal Physique and advance into the higher level: God Physique. For cultivators that don¡¯t train their fleshly bodies, even though their fleshly bodies might be at the same level as cultivators who train their bodies, they would still be lacking. For instance, following a rise in cultivation, a cultivator might advance into Spirit Physique Level 1. However, when compared to a cultivator who trained his body to become Spirit Physique Level, the first cultivator¡¯s body would be weaker. Mo Wuji had never trained his fleshly body. But his meridian opening method was even more arduous than an average physique tempering method. It was exactly because of this reason that his fleshly body had always been stronger than average cultivators. For an average cultivator at the intermediate Xuan Immortal Stage, his fleshly body would roughly be at Spirit Physique Level 2. On the other hand, Mo Wuji¡¯s body was at least at Spirit Physique Level 4. This scale-like whirlpool light within the pathway in the Hidden Dragon Pool was suitable to train the body. Naturally, Mo Wuji would use this opportunity to start tempering his physique. He was different from other people; if he failed, he still had his Book of Luo to save him. Previously, Mo Wuji tempered his fleshly body entirely with his perseverance and grit. But now, he had a true physique tempering method. Mo Wuji¡¯s physique tempering technique was originally from the witch race and the technique he received was largely complete. However, this technique wasn¡¯t suitable for Mo Wuji. After all, Mo Wuji had 108 meridians, his cultivation method was poles apart from other cultivators. After obtaining the witch race¡¯s physique tempering technique, Mo Wuji spent a large amount of time, and with the help of his dao revelation channel, he managed to completely revise the physique tempering technique. Now, his physique tempering technique might not be suitable for others, but it was perfectly suited for him. The pathway from the cultivation world to the Immortal World seemed to be without end. At the beginning, Mo Wuji still left a bit of his attention to observe whether he had already reached the Hidden Dragon Pool. Two months in, Mo Wuji was entirely engrossed into his physique tempering. The grinding force of this whirlpool seemed to get stronger and stronger, which was really suitable for training the body. Occasionally, there might be some fractures within the space, causing heavy injuries on Mo Wuji¡¯s body but it was unable to threaten his life. Mo Wuji possessed the vitality channel; as long as he didn¡¯t get insta-killed, he would still be able to recover. ¡­ Immortal World. Pill Domain. It originally belonged to Luo Ling Immortal Domain but it eventually became an independent entity. Even though the Pill Domain wasn¡¯t considered an Immortal Domain, its territory was extremely big, and the immortal spiritual energy here was even richer than an average Heavenly Immortal City. However, all this wasn¡¯t the greatest advantage of the Pill Domain. Pill Domain¡¯s greatest advantage was that this place was extremely suitable for the growth of immortal herbs. Someone had gone and calculated it before. Of all the planted immortal herbs in the entire Immortal World, half of them were in Pill Domain. Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters was in Pill Domain. Today was Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s big day, because today was the day Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head Xiao Lishi emerges from his closed doors. Xiao Lishi was one of the two Tier 8 Immortal Pill Emperor in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance and he was even at the pinnacle of Tier 8. He was the only existence with a chance of advancing to Tier 9 Immortal Pill Emperor. This time, Xiao Lishi had entered closed doors for 1,000 years, all so that he could break past the shackles of Tier 9. If Xiao Lishi could really breakthrough to Tier 9 Pill Emperor, then Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s position in the Immortal World was going to rise by a level. Even in the Very High Heavens, there would be a seat for their Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Chapter 598: Mo Wuji Must Be Killed Chapter 598: Mo Wuji Must Be Killed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The cave with the densest immortal spiritual energy inside of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance opened on its own, and out came a grey robed youth. This grey robed youth had a rather outstanding look, and while not extremely well built, was at least very lean. "Congratulations Alliance Head on completing closed door cultivation." Once the youth came out, the ten over Pill Dao Immortal Alliance pill masters and elders quickly bowed respectfully. This youth was the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head, Xiao Lishi, who was also the person with the highest level of pill dao in the alliance. On top of that, he was one of the Immortal Emperors of the alliance, even being in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. If it weren''t for his wholehearted dedication to researching into pill dao, someone of his talent and background should have entered the ranks of Great Immortal Emperors a long time ago. Xiao Lishi¡¯s expression remained unchanged, and he maintained a calm disposition. There wasn¡¯t a single speck on dust on his body either. If strangers saw him now, they wouldn¡¯t think that he had just come out from a thousand years of closed doors cultivation, instead probably getting the impression that he had just exited his bedroom. "Thanks everyone for welcoming me. Let¡¯s talk in the Pill Dao Hall." Xiao Lishi raised his hand and spoke in a cordial tone. Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Tier 7 Pill Emperor,Gong Yangxue, was obsessed about pills, so before they had reached the Pill Dao Hall, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, "Alliance Head, have you broken through the bottleneck to advance to Tier 9 Pill Emperor?" With a sigh, Xiao Lishi replied, "I went through a thousand years of closed door cultivation, but every time I was at the verge of a breakthrough, there was just that little bit lacking. Perhaps even after a hundred thousand years, I still won¡¯t be able to overcome this small obstacle." Hearing that, Gong Yangxue¡¯s expression became sullen. Xiao Lishi knew Gong Yangxue¡¯s personality all too well, so he grinned and spoke again, "Pill Master Gong Yang, even though I am still unable to advance to Tier 9 Pill Emperor, I am still the best pill master in the Immortal World. After this round of closed door cultivation, my understanding towards pill dao has improved further. Moreover, I don¡¯t think a Tier 9 Pill Emperor won¡¯t appear within the next 10,000 years." However, Gong Yangxue seemingly ignored the fact that Xiao Lishi was the Alliance Head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, as he shook his head and replied without hesitation, "This may not be the case. That Mo Wuji is probably not even a hundred years old, but he¡¯s already a Tier 5 Honoured Grade Pill King, and his knowledge of refining immortal herbs is even more frightening. He could actually refine the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass to almost 100% purity. With time, he would likely become a Pill Emperor." "Who is this Mo Wuji? A Tier 5 Honoured Grade Immortal Pill King who¡¯s not even a hundred years old? He could really refine the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass to almost 100% purity?" Xiao Lishi stopped in his tracks, and was completely surprised, firing off a barrage of questions. As a pill refiner about to advance to Tier 9 Pill Emperor, Xiao Lishi was more aware than anyone else what a Tier 5 Honoured Immortal Pill King under 100 meant. Even if it were him, the hardest part of pill refining was refining the immortal herbs. Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass was not that high a grade, but the difficulty in refining it was very well known. This sort of immortal herb, even he was unable to refine to near 100% purity. If such a person did exist, how talented was this guy¡¯s pill refining? No, not only pill refining, his talent for cultivation would definitely be unparalleled. Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Vice Alliance Head, Hu Zhenyu, quickly went forward to speak, "Alliance Head, the story behind this is quite long. Let¡¯s continue back in the hall." Yet, Xiao Shili did not bother with Hu Zhenyu at all, instead staring straight at Gong Yangxue, "All those here are elders of my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. If there¡¯s really a Tier 5 Honoured Grade Pill King under 100, then he will undoubtedly become number 1 in Immortal World¡¯s pill dao. No, even in terms of cultivation level, there will not be many that can surpass him." To Xiao Lishi, it would take at least a Grand Yi Immortal Stage cultivator to be able to concoct Tier 5 Unique Grade Immortal Pills. Naturally, he did not know that Mo Wuji cultivated with meridians, and had 108 meridians, with no spiritual roots and an ordinary body. Even his pill dao was different for the mainstream pill dao. Who could actually refine immortal herbs to almost 100% purity? Mo Wuji could, but who could use a spirit storage channel to concoct pills? Mo Wuji could. Gong Yangxue was not really interested in power, and all he bothered about was pill dao. To him, the news of Mo Wuji was nothing more than a routine report of another Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s elders perishing and subsequently being found. He was not aware of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s dealings with Grand Emperor Lun Cai, and neither did he want to know. This sentence of Xiao Lishi was obviously targeted at Hu Zhenyu. After he finished speaking, he then turned towards Hu Zhenyu, and said one word, "Speak." In his heart, Hu Zhenyu felt a jolt. How could he not understand what the alliance head meant? Xiao Lishi was aware that Gong Yangxue was focused on pill dao and did not care about anything else. Despite that, the alliance head still spoke in such a manner, which reflected the extent of unhappiness that the alliance head had towards him. It was probably because Xiao Lishi felt that things were important and urgent, but Hu Zhenyu actually said that it wasn¡¯t important and even hard to explain. Thus, Hu Zhenyu did not dare to beat around the bush any further, and reported, "Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding of pill dao is frightening, and the first time he entered the Pill Dao Pagoda, he had already become a Tier 4 Honoured Grade Pill King, and subsequently also our alliance¡¯s elder and an elder of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins branch¡­" Hearing that Mo Wuji was already an elder of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Xiao Lishi heaved a small sigh of relief. What he had to do next was to meet Mo Wuji. But what Hu Zhenyu said next made his face turn blacker with every word. When he heard that Mo Wuji had died in the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, and the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance then struck a deal with Grand Emperor Lun Cai to make a move against those close to Mo Wuji, Xiao Lishi couldn¡¯t keep it in any longer, stepping forward and unleasing a slap. "Splat!" Hu Zhenyu flew under the slap from Xiao Lishi, and many of his teeth fell onto the ground. Even Hu Zhenyu also knew that Xiao Lishi had gone easy on him, otherwise why would someone in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage need a second strike to bring him down? "Alliance head, I didn¡¯t know that he was not dead." Hu Zhenyu would have continued to put up his tough guy act in front of other people, but in front of Xiao Lishi, he did not have the balls to do so. Sighing, Xiao Lishi spoke, "You¡¯re not suitable to be the Vice Alliance Head any more. Do you think that I slapped you because Mo Wuji did not die? My Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has stood at the top of the Immortal World for countless years, because all our members approve of us. But what have you done? No matter how valuable the slots for entering the Gods Tower are, is it worth it to give up the reputation that our alliance has built up over the years? So what if Grand Emperor Lun Cai is strong? My Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has never been threatened by others before. The reason we could become a fearsome existence, other than pill dao, is because of our strength. A Grand Emperor is still enough to threaten my alliance. If one can do so, then there¡¯s no reason for us to continue existing. Hu Zhenyu, do you know how much damage your decision has done to my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? While those close to Mo Wuji were being killed, fractures had already been forming in the alliance. These fractures are not due to external factors, but internal ones. It is because once Grand Emperor Lun Cai made a move towards those longtime elders of the alliance, all pill masters and defenders understood one thing: if anything happens to them, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance can no longer be relied upon for help. Who would dedicate their all for such an organisation?" However, Hu Zhenyu did not agree with what Xiao Lishi had just said. He felt that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was unique in the Immortal World. There was no way something as small as this could diminish the influence and control the alliance had over the rest of the Immortal World. Although this was what he thought, Hu Zhenyu still respectfully responded, "I will definitely bring Mo Wuji safely back to the Immortal World, and restore his position as elder of the alliance." These words made Xiao Lishi sigh again, "Making you the Vice Alliance Head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has been the biggest mistake I¡¯ve ever made. I¡¯ve never met Mo Wuji before, but do you think someone that made Tier 5 Honoured Grade Pill King is as dumb as you? If Lun Cai had not taken any actions yet, or his friends had not been killed yet, then your actions would still be a decent attempt at making it up to him. But now those close to him are all dead, so even if we kneel to beg for forgiveness, he will not forgive us for sure. A genius like him definitely has a big ego, and he would not allow any shadows to form in his heart. There¡¯s only one path left for us since we¡¯ve offended such a person." Without continuing on, everyone could understand what Xiao Lishi meant. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had to kill Mo Wuji. The reason behind this was simply: someone as impressive as Mo Wuji would be an extraordinary person after he progressed further. If you could not make friends with this kind of people, then you should at least not offend him. Once you did, the only option left would be to nip him as a bud. As everyone was on the same page, Xiao Lishi did not carry on about Mo Wuji. Hu Zhenyu clearly knew that his position as vice alliance head could not be secured any longer. Sighing to himself, he stood forward and bowed again, "Zhenyu did not think things through before acting, please punish me." Xiao Lishi calmly replied, "Then you¡¯ll give up those two slots to two from the alliance that have the most potential. Resign from your post as vice alliance head and focus on your research into pill dao." "Roger." While he felt indignant about the outcome, he could only agree. The two slots he so painstakingly obtained were just given away together with his position as vice alliance head in the end, and he still couldn¡¯t go to the Gods Tower. What could be more frustrating than this? ¡­ Over 10 tough blade radiances stabbed straight into Mo Wuji¡¯s bones, and his body began to slow down. Before the blade radiances had the chance to tear his bones to shred, his vitality channel had begun circulating vitality in a major circulation route. At the same time, his physique tempering technique kicked in to the maximum. Under the technique, the blade radiances seemed to be immortal essences, reforging Mo Wuji¡¯s body once more. His bones began to crackle like fireworks, and without any hesitation, Mo Wuji poured the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow onto his body. With this round of training, his body advanced straight to Spirit Physique Level 9 before stopping. Chapter 599: Hidden Dragon Valley Chapter 599: Hidden Dragon Valley Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji let a small sigh of relief. He stopped the physique tempering too. It had already been years since he had entered the spatial gate from the bottom of the ocean, and in those years, he advanced from Spirit Physique Level 4 to Level 9, a rather heaven defying pace. In such an environment, if he continued training, he would not be able to advance to Immortal Physique either. Firstly, it was unsuitable. Secondly, he had to prepare some top frade physique tempering immortal herbs to advance to Spirit Physique. Now his body had reached Spirit Physique Level 9, which was already stronger than ordinary Immortal Kings. One had to note that some immortals would only stagnate around Spirit Physique. "Boom!" Strong waves of energy brought Mo Wuji along with them, slamming him against a hard wall. His Spirit Physique Level 9 body almost broke due to the impact. Soon Mo Wuji realised that this was probably the end of the path to Hidden Dragon Valley. He quickly stabilised his body, and swept his spiritual will out, which detected a black ring. As he lightly pulled down on it, a series of crackling noises echoed out. Although the sounds weren¡¯t that loud, but in an area that was deathly quiet, they were extremely sharp to the ears. This made Mo Wuji increasingly worried. If this led to Hidden Dragon Valley, wouldn¡¯t the Dragon Clan find out with such a big commotion? After the crackling noises stopped, a single door that could fit only one person appeared before him. Upon close inspection by his spiritual will, he determined that the door had nothing dangerous about it, and entered speedily. A pitch blac environment enveloped him, followed by immortal spiritual energy and dragon essence of the greatest density. There wasn¡¯t any actvity nearby, and also not a single member of the dragon clan cultivating here. Just as he was about to extend his spiritual will further out to scan the area, Mo Wuji shockingly discovered that the entrance he came in had disappeared. With his level in array dao, he still could not determine whether the vanishing door was hidden in a concealment array. In his heart, Mo Wuji thought to himself, how exactly did Yan Li¡¯s mother find the path leading to the cultivation world? The way out had seemingly left no traces behind. Although he couldn¡¯t find any traces of the door, he knew that he would never go out from here, but still left a small mark behind just in case. Other than having dense dragon essence and immortal spiritual energy, Hidden Dragon Valley was filled with darkness, and restricted one¡¯s spiritual will to a certain radius. As Mo Wuji was worried that there would be others around, he did not dare to sweep out with his spiritual will haphazardly, instead forming his spiritual eye. His spiritual eye had become stronger together with his cultivation level. It didn¡¯t matter that it was pitch black and spiritual will was restricted, he could still see clearly through his spiritual eye. This was indeed very deep valley which wasn¡¯t that wide. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye could even see the whole valley. There were five corners at the bottom of the valley, and its radius was no more than a thousand meters. In the center of the five corners, there was a pool of bubbling dragon essence. On top of the dragon essence, the immortal spiritual energy within was much denser too. Yet at this moment there were no dragon cultivating in it. At the edge of the pool, there was a stone slab with three words on it: Hidden Dragon Pool. Mo Wuji looked around a few more times, but still could not find any way out of here. The whole Hidden Dragon Valley seemed like a well, and he was at the bottom of it. With a single step, he reached the center of the pool, dense immortal spiritual energy surrounded him, causing him to almost want to cultivate on the spot. He was almost sure that if he could cultivate here for a period of time, then he would definitely be propelled into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Thankfully, Mo Wuji still remembered what place this was: one of the greatest secrets of the Dragon Clan. If he dared to cultivate here and got found out, even if he were an Immortal Emperor, it wouldn¡¯t be that easy to walk away. Four hours passed, and Mo Wuji was lost. There was simply no way out of there. The walls of the valley were slick and smooth, so climbing out was off the table. Moreover, the center of the Hidden Dragon Valley had spatial and elemental restrictions, so Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t use the Wind Escape Technique or teleportation to leave either. Another day passed. Mo Wuji had lost all hope by then. Since he entered the Hidden Dragon Valley, he couldn¡¯t leave at all. Perhaps he could only wait for someone to bring him out, but he didn¡¯t know anyone from the Dragon Clan, and once someone found him here, the first thing they would do as probably to kill him. Since there was no way back, and no way forward, he could only cultivate here, and wait for an opportunity to appear. He did not blame Yan Li for his predicament though. He was sure that Yan Li likely did not know that this would be the case. Back when Yan Li left the Hidden Dragon Valley, she could have been a young child, or possibly even wrapped up in someone or personally sent off by her mother. Since she had never come back, it would be unusual for Yan Li to know what lay within the valley. The only thing Mo Wuji could do was to set up a warning array, so he would be notified whenever someone enters Hidden Dragon Valley, even if he was cultivating. This way, he would be able to hide at one corner and use the guy to find an exit. Regardless whether he could ever get out, cultivating in the Hidden Dragon Valley was an extremely satisfying experience. Mo Wuji did not have to use any pills or immortal crystals. The boundless immortal spiritual energy circulated through his 108 meridians without stopping. This immortal energy was converted to increases in cultivation level by him, while the dragon essence continuously tempered his body, making his Spirit Physique Level 9 body more solid and perfect. Half a year later, he had melted into the immortal spiritual energy of Hidden Dragon Valley. In that half a year, who knew how much immortal spiritual energy he had absorbed, but the density of immortal spiritual energy in the valley did not decrease one bit. The walls of Hidden Dragon Valley were like immortal spiritual energy generators. Every time the immortal spiritual energy density decreased by a little, more would seep out to replenish the supply. Another year passed, and Mo Wuji¡¯s bones seemed to have gone through an additional round of restructuring. Sound of his skeleton cracking did not give him the pain of physique tempering, instead filling him with happiness and comfort. Although the dragon essence in Hidden Dragon Valley did not strengthen Mo Wuji¡¯s physical body, but it made it filled with hidden potential. This meant that he would become much more accomplished in physique tempering in the future. While his bones were cracking, waves of immortal elemental energy penetrated all of Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians, and at this moment, his spiritual will and immortal elemental energy suddenly got a breakthrough in quality. Within the short one year timespan, Mo Wuji advanced from intermediate Xuan Immortal to advanced Xuan Immortal Stage, all while he wildly cultivated with the Reverse Circulation Immortal Mortal Technique. The instant Mo Wuji reached advanced Xuan Immortal Stage, a set of ethereal stairs appeared over his head, but being engrossed in cultivation, he did not notice them at all. What was the least precious commodity for cultivation? Time. Another year passed just like that, and only when Mo Wuji felt the lightning tribulation of the Grand Yi Immortal Stage coming did he suddenly get jolted away. Even if he could undergo heavenly tribulation to reach Grand Yi Immortal Stage in the Hidden Dragon Valley, he wouldn¡¯t dare to. Thus, he stopped cultivating. Since he couldn¡¯t advance to Grand Yi Immortal, there was no meaning in cultivating any more. Once he did so, he noticed the ethereal stairs above his head. I can go out now? Who put stairs there? Mo Wuji was utterly shocked. But soon, he regained his composure. One possibility that came to mind was that one had to advance by one stage in the Hidden Dragon Valley after entering before one would get the chance to exit. Advancing from intermediate Xuan Immortal to advanced Xuan Immortal Stage counted as rising by one stage it seemed. Both his spiritual will and spiritual eye detected no danger in the stairs, hence Mo Wuji carefully stepped onto the invisible steps. Although they were ethereal, but the steps were very solid. After Mo Wuji stepped onto them, there was no signs of instability. Step by step he climbed, and two hours later, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will found an exit. It was a stone slab. But before he could inspect the exit in detail, a droplet of some liquid dripped onto the back of his hand. Was this blood? Mo Wuji confirmed it very quickly. It was indeed a drop of blood. As he had cultivated in the Hidden Dragon Valley for two years, and had his body tempered with dragon essence, he could recognise that this was dragon blood at first sight. Just like a chain reaction, many more droplets of blood follow after the first. "Drip, drip, drip¡­" The blood dripped onto Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. This made him rather worried, and he moved his hand away, allowing the dragon blood to drip straight into the Hidden Dragon Pool. Mo Wuji did not think that a disciple of the Dragon Clan had made a mistake and was being punished. The Dragon Clan was one of the top clans in the Immortal World, so even though there weren¡¯t many dragons, but bring a member of the clan meant a certain level of nobility. Such a noble clan would definitely not use such methods to punish their disciples. Even if they did, they wouldn¡¯t allow the disciple¡¯s blood to drip into the Hidden Dragon Valley. For a clan as big as the Dragon Clan, it was even more impossible for personal fights to occur at a secret location like the Hidden Dragon Valley. Thus, the only possibility left was that the Dragon Clan was faced with a great opponent, and this opponent even fought his way to their way to right outside of Hidden Dragon Valley, killing Dragon Clan disciples openly here. This thought made Mo Wuji pause for a moment. He didn¡¯t know whether he should stay inside or get out. There was a good chance that he would be intercepted outside, as this enemy had even massacred the Dragon Clan in their own home. As a mere cultivator in the Great Circle of Xuan Immortal Stage, he wouldn¡¯t even be a good warmup for those outside. However, he was also worried that once someone discovered the Hidden Dragon Valley, he would be a sitting duck waiting there. After a moment¡¯s hesitation, Mo Wuji decided to go out. Hiding was not his style, and since someone had fought their way to the Dragon Clan, why wouldn¡¯t they take a look in a place as established as the Hidden Dragon Valley? His cultivation technique was the Immortal Mortal Technique, and he didn¡¯t have spiritual roots or spirituality either. Once he hid himself in a corner, even an Immortal Emperor might not be able to find him As he thought of his, Mo Wuji took a few steps upwards, placing his hands on the stone slab. He intended to push the slab open, but as his hand touched the stone slab, a diagram on the center of it started spinning, following which a mysterious force dragged him away. This was a one way transfer array¡­ Just when he realised that, all energy was drained from his body. "Plop!" Mo Wuji fell onto the ground, and the scene before him made him take in a deep breath of cold air. Chapter 600: Dragon Clan Orphans Chapter 600: Dragon Clan Orphans Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations His current position was inside a large hall, but the empty hall was fill of bloodstains. Many dragons had been killed inside, some even missing their horns and bones. The bloodstains had not dried yet, which meant that the culprit had not left for long. All of Mo Wuji¡¯s clothing were soaked with blood, a truly frightening scene. What cruel people. Mo Wuji sucked in a breath of cold air. He had seen revenge killings before, as he had wiped out the Lei Clan and Yan Clan, and even Mirage Mountain a few years back. But was there the need to make things to bloody and brutal? It seemed like the person that took action was a psychopath. An expert of that level, even if he wanted to wipe out the Dragon Clan, did not have to make such a scene. Mo Wuji carefully stood up, his spiritual will circling the area, not daring to extend too far out. He was afraid that it would be detected by other experts. The hall was very spacious, hence Mo Wuji deduced that the entrance to the Hidden Dragon Valley was not here. It was also because the place he came out from was a one way transfer array. The gist of a one way transfer array was that a spatial array would transport people and items from one side of stone wall to another side, and it was not possible to be transported back. Once this kind of transfer array had been set up, both sides of the stone wall would not be able to use their spiritual will to probe to the other side. However, blood could indeed pass through the transfer array, which was why he saw dripping blood back in Hidden Dragon Valley. Regardless, this was not a good place to stay for long. But just as Mo Wuji wanted to leave, two people suddenly descended from above. His first reaction was to take out his magic treasure, but soon he realised that these two people posed no threat to him. Two children had come in, one boy and one girl, and both of them were bloodied, pale, and frightened. At the center of each of their foreheads, there was a faint dragon shaped marking. Mo Wuji had interacted with Yan Li, and also just came out of the Hidden Dragon Valley, so he knew straight away that these two kids were disciples of the Dragon Clan. "Ah¡­" The two of them saw Mo Wuji at the same time. Just as he was about to explain that he was not the one who killed the members of the Dragon Clan here, there was a disturbance at the border of his spiritual will. Although he did not see anyone yet, he knew that someone was coming. With one swift motion of his hand, he withdrew his spiritual will and swept both children away, then entered his Undying World in a flash. His Undying World turned into a speck of dust and landed at a corner of the hall. It was still incomplete, but because Mo Wuji cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, and he was also an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots, the speck of dust had nothing exceptional about it. In other words, it was a real speck of dust. Unless there was someone else like Mo Wuji who could use something as heaven defying as the spiritual eye, or was extremely strong, no one would be able to see that this speck of dust was different from any other speck of dust. As Mo Wuji just finished hiding, a figure burst into the hall. It was a yellow robed, middle aged man, with a sharp nose, wide mouth, and large hands. "Eh!" The person¡¯s gaze swept through the entire hall, before he exclaimed. Some time later, he mumbled to himself, "I¡¯m quite sure that that was a transfer talisman for this hall, so how could they have disappeared? Something¡¯s not right, even if there was a transfer array, they shouldn¡¯t be that fast. There were no spatial ripples either¡­" The yellow robed man did not give up, and swept the are with his spiritual will again and again, then seemed to remember something, quickly leaving in a hurry. Only after Mo Wuji sensed that the other party was really gone, did he bring both kids out from the Undying World. Once he came out, he took out a crystal ball to record everything that had happened. Such spatial records would degrade and become more blurry over time, before completely vanishing. Thankfully, the yellow robed man did not think that anyone would take a spatial recording, so he did not remove the spatial records of his appearance. After Mo Wuji had completed the recording in the crystal ball, the young girl pulled the young boy and bowed respectfully, "Thank you elder for saving us." Mo Wuji replied with a question, "How do you know that I¡¯m not one of those guys?" To that, the young girl responded, "Elder, you have no killing intent, and we saw most of the disciples of the Dragon Clan being killed. It was done by a yellow robed man and a golden robed man." "Elder, where did you bring us to hide just now? Why didn¡¯t that yellow robed guy see us when he came in?" The young boy might have been young, but the first question that came out of his mouth directly probed into Mo Wuji¡¯s secret. Naturally, Mo Wuji would not reveal the existence of the Undying World to them. When he brought both of them into the Undying World, he set some restrictions on them, so they could at most feel that they hid in a corner, but where that corner was, it was unclear. "I know some decent concealment magic. That¡¯s how we hid from that guy. By the way, who¡¯s that guy? He¡¯s actually that brutal? Does he want to eradicate the Dragon Clan completely?" Mo Wuji casually asked. The young girl shook her head, "We don¡¯t know either. When we came out, most of the experts of the Dragon Clan had been killed already. They just didn¡¯t have the time to bother about the two of us at first, so we used a talisman to escape here." Now Mo Wuji suddenly recalled a couple of questions he wanted to ask in the first place, "Who are you two? Aren¡¯t you disciples of the Dragon Clan?" The young girl replied, "We cultivate with a different kind of dao technique in the Dragon Clan which required us to use an immortal pill to change to human form at birth. This type of immortal pill is very valuable, so there aren¡¯t many young Dragon Clan members that went through the process. Most Dragon Clan members only start transforming after they reach Immortal King Stage." Both these young dragon likely had high positions in the clan to be able to transform at a young age. But no matter how high their positions were, Mo Wuji was not interested in that. The Dragon Clan was a top notch clan, so there was definitely a reason behind why they were being massacred like this. He didn¡¯t care much about all this either, those questions before were just casual ones. He simply had too much on his plate at the moment. Seeming to feel that Mo Wuji was not that interested in them, the young girl seized this opportunity, "Elder, I am Ao Sangzi. This is my cousin Ao Xia. The Dragon Clan is facing a disaster, could elder please lend us a hand?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "Sangzi, you should know that I accidentally stumbled into this place. My cultivation level is only at Xuan Immortal Stage, so in what way can I help the Dragon Clan? I¡¯ve already put my life at considerable risk by saving the two of you just now." Ao Sangzi quickly followed up,"Elder, you¡¯re mistaken. I didn¡¯t mean to ask you to help the Dragon Clan, but just to bring us out of this place¡­" At this point, Mo Wuji was in a difficult position. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to help. He had benefited from the Dragon Clan quite a bit, even tempering his physical body with dragon essence. However, he really could not help anyone. Even then, he was still in danger. "Elder, I know of a secret exit, but our cultivation levels are too low, so we can¡¯t leave through that place¡­" Ao Sangzi carried on after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Ao Xia¡¯s and her cultivation levels were not even at Heavenly Immortal Stage, hence it was rather low indeed. "Where is it?" Mo Wuji asked frantically. Now an ugly expression appeared on Ao Sangzi¡¯s face, but despite seeing that, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about how polite or impolite he was, and quickly added on, "Don¡¯t worry, I really made my way here by accident. I will definitely not leak out any secrets of the Dragon Clan." In response, Ao Sangzi said, "That¡¯s not it elder. That place only allows members of the Dragon Clan to escape. Since elder is not a Dragon Clan member, you can only help us leave, but cannot leave with us." Upon hearing this, it was as though a bucket of cold water was poured over Mo Wuji. He also wanted to leave this place urgently, and he suspected that those experts that wiped out the Dragon Clan would not leave things at that, probably destroying the whole place in the end. Although he had the book of Luo, but could something like that be taken out in the Immortal World? Doing so would be courting death. "However, that place is very far away from the center of the Dragon Clan. Once elder sends both of us off, you can leave by yourself too. Just that we will leave through a transfer array, while elder can only leave though the West Moat Ocean¡­" Before Ao Sangzi could finish, Mo Wuji interrupted her, "No problem, quickly bring me there. I guarantee that both of you will be sent off before I leave." "Thank you elder." The young girl swiftly walked to a tile on the north, took out a talisman, mumbled a few forbidden words, and used a few hand techniques. A ethereal crack opened before Ao Sangzi, and she rushed to Mo Wuji to say, "Elder, you can bring us out from here." Mo Wuji was already waiting for those words from Ao Sangzi. The moment she finished, he charged straight in, bringing the both of them with him. Moments later, the crack disappeared. Not long after they left, rumbling sounds erupted around the hall. The instant they got transported away, Mo Wuji felt a burden being lifted from his heart, and that foreboding sense of danger seemed to disappear. The transfer endpoint was a small house made of rock that was not even five meters in radius. There was a ring on the rooftop of the house, and a transfer array at the center. There was even an wave shaped array tunnel on the roof too. Although Ao Sangzi was young, she was very familiar with doing things. She walked straight up, took the ring and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Elder, this is a ring that the Dragon Clan left behind in case of emergencies. I¡¯ll give it to you. Because this transfer array requires a Xuan Immortal and above to activate, we would like to request for elder to activate it and send us away. After that, elder can leave from the array gate on the roof." Mo Wuji knew that there was definitely a large amount of treasures in the ring, but he didn¡¯t intend to take it, hence he threw it back at Ao Sangzi while saying, "Just take it as we were helping each other. Without your guiding, I would not have made it here either. Since this ring was left behind by the Dragon Clan, you should keep it by your side." "Thank you elder." Ao Sangzi was more mature than others at the same age. After all, which kid would know how to insist on giving the gift a second time? Luckily, Mo Wuji really did not want the ring. As she heard Mo Wuji turn it down, she quickly kept the ring and thanked him. Chapter 601: Grand Yi Immortal Chapter 601: Grand Yi Immortal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Elder, can you make a copy of that crystal ball that you recorded with just now?" Ao Xia couldn¡¯t help but ask. Since he heard his elder sister call Mo Wuji ¡®elder¡¯, he dared not to call him ¡®brother¡¯ any more.. Mo Wuji immediately made two copies of the crystal ball, one for Ao Xia, and another from Ao Sangzi, "I¡¯m Mo Wuji. Next time just call me ¡®brother¡¯, I¡¯m not really an elder. Both you you, quickly get into the transfer array. After I activate it, I¡¯ll be leaving too." He didn¡¯t bother asking where the two of them were going, as he already had some trouble taking care of himself at the moment. Activating the transfer array was easy. It didn¡¯t even require a single immortal crystal, so he activated the array and sent them on their way. mo Wuji didn¡¯t stay for a moment longer, instantly charging out from that wave shaped array gate. The transfer array that brought Ao Sangzi and Ao Xia away was built in a secret underwater location, and the aray gate that Mo Wuji went through was very obviously a transfer array gate too, but this one brought him from the bottom of the ocean to the surface. Just as he surfaced, a sharp killing intent came directed at him before he had the chance to survey his surroundings. Luckily, Mo Wuji was always on guard, and once the killing intent arrived, his domain went sweeping out together with a punch. "Boom!" Both streams of immortal energy clashed, causing whirlpools tens of meters high in the air to be formed. Even though Mo Wuji reacted quickly and blocked intime, but he couldn''t completely defend against this wild wave of immortal elemental energy. After blocking a large part of the energy, the leftover immortal elemental energy still tore through Mo Wuji¡¯s bones and meridians as it slammed into his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. "Stop! It¡¯s not what it looks like. I don¡¯t have any enmity with the Dragon Clan, I even saved some of the Dragon Clan members¡­" Mo Wuji frantically defended himself, seemingly finishing his sentences in the shortest time possible. The person that attacked him was a young woman, beautiful and elegant, and with one look Mo Wuji knew she was a member of the Dragon Clan. Because his opponent was a Dragon Clan member, he instantly understood what was going on. He had just come out from West Moat Ocean covered in dragon blood, so it was obvious that she would assume he killed Dragon Clan disciples. More importantly, this woman was very likely an advanced Grand Luo Immortal Stage expert, hence Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t her match at all. However, how would this Grand Yi Immortal dragon lady listen to Mo Wuji¡¯s words? Not only did she not stop, but instead she drew out her magic treasure, and produced greater killing intent than before. Now Mo Wuji knew that reasoning with her would not work, as sometimes reasoning had to be built on the foundation of strength. He didn¡¯t have the strength, so naturally he would not have the chance to reason with her either. As she leapt forward once more, Mo Wuji immediately activated his teleportation and Wind Escape Technique, vanishing from the spot in the shortest time possible. Any more talk and he would have to leave his life behind. With his impressive Wind Escape Technique, in half a day, the woman had been left in the dust. Making a stop, Mo Wuji quickly threw on a set of new clothes. Deep inside, he was rather frustrated. He should have changed out as soon as possible. In the end, even after he saved two Dragon Clan disciples, a Dragon Clan member still took him as the enemy and attacked him. Weak people indeed were not treated like a person, hence it was of utmost importance for him to find somewhere to advance to Grand Yi Immortal Stage. ¡­ A day later. Mo Wuji stopped on a floating iceberg. He was utterly lost in West Moat Ocean, so he only option left for him was to undergo heavenly tribulation on an iceberg He was already at the Great Circle of Xuan Immortal Stage, so a single Grand Yi True Pill initiated the Grand Yi Immortal lightning tribulation. Bolts of jet black lightning rained down from above, and as those unrelenting, thick bolts struck Mo Wuji¡¯s body, he finally experienced the benefits of physique tempering. If he weren¡¯t at Spirit Physique Level 9, when facing such a wild lightning tribulation, even if he could absorb lightning essences, he wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid being severly injured. Just like back when he set up his Undying World, or when he advanced to Golden Immortal, he would lay there, seriously wounded after the lightning tribulation, and slowly recover on the spot. At this moment, he did not have to rush into Grand Yi Immortal Stage, instead, he could focus on absorbing lightning essence while the endless thick lightning bolts struck his body. After five waves of continuous lightning bolts, Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal elemental essence naturally broke through the barrier to Grand Yi Immortal Stage, following which his sea of consciousness began expanding rapidly, and his immortal elemental energy started condensing into a river. Mo Wuji had officially entered Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Right as he advanced to Grand Yi Immortal, the lightning bolts suddenly weakened, and a wave of immortal spirit rainbow descended from above, healing his almost injury free body. Five days later, Mo Wuji stood up from the ocean surface. The iceberg had been blown to bits by the lightning bolts along time ago. Having undergone lightning tribulation, not only did his cultivation level advance to Grand Yi Immortal, but his physique tempering had progressed too. However, Mo Wuji was aware that if he didn¡¯t use some top notch natural treasures, it was difficult to temper his body to Immortal Physique before he advanced to Immortal King. Since he had reached Grand Yi Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji naturally wanted his body to reach Immortal Physique too. Who knew how long it would be before he entered Immortal King Stage, so he wasn¡¯t willing to keep waiting.The best immortal herb to match his physique tempering to reach Immortal Physique was the Void Nirvana Root. It was extremely valuable, an existence beyond Tier 9 immortal herbs. This immortal herb could not only help cultivators temper their physique, and allow physique tempering cultivators to advance to Immortal Physique perfectly, but it could also be used to forge bodies. For cultivators that lost their body, using Void Nirvana Roots to reforge their body would have a better effect than other immortal herbs. Other than the Void Nirvana Root, there was also the Undying Holy Bamboo. It could help physique tempering cultivators advance to Immortal Physique, and was similarly difficult to obtain, because this was a real Tier 9 immortal herb. Coincidentally, Mo Wuji had three stalks of Undying Holy Bamboo on him which he obtained in the Yunxian Immortal Valley. This sort of Undying Holy Bamboo could be refined into the Undying Dao Pill too. If he couldn¡¯t find any Void Nirvana Roots, he was prepared to use the Undying Holy Bamboo to advance to Immortal Physique. A lightning fast figure shot through Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, breaking his chain of thoughts. Sensing it, he quickly took out his flying shuttle to chase after it. Having lost his way in the West Moat Ocean, since he had finally found some traces of other people, naturally he would not miss this opportunity. Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle was a Grade 7 immortal equipment, thus it was much faster than that flying treasure that just passed by. Within an incense¡¯s worth of time, that flying ship appeared in his field of vision. Seemingly sensing that Mo Wuji was chasing after it, the flying ship accelerated. But no matter how fast it went, it could not match up to the speed of Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle. As it sensed that it could not escape from Mo Wuji, it stopped. "My friend, why are you chasing after my flying ship?" The flying ship had three people on board: a bearded middle aged man, a slightly elegant woman, and a tall and muscular youth. The person speaking was the middle aged man, and when he saw Mo Wuji exit the flying shuttle, he heaved a sigh of relief. Obviously he noticed that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was not higher than theirs. In terms of cultivation level, Mo Wuji¡¯s was indeed not as high as that bearded middle aged man. Although he had justed advanced to Grand Yi Immortal Stage and his cultivation was solid, but the spirituality around his body was not obvious, and there was nothing special about it, hence he looked in an ordinary cultivator from the outside. "Mo Wuji greets my fellow dao friends. I lost my way in the West Moat Ocean, and would like to ask for directions from you." Mo Wuji humbly asked as he bowed respectfully. Based on his assessment, the bearded middle aged man should have been in intermediate Grand Zhi Immortal Stage, while the woman and the fit youth were in advanced Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Lost his way? The three of them stared at each other while silently sizing Mo Wuji up. It was a joke for a cultivator that could enter the depths of the West Moat Ocean to lose his way. Even though the West Moat Ocean was indeed large, but not to the point that it would make an immortal lose his way. A map of the West Moat Ocean was so common that you could buy it from any low level shops. The only thing that could happen to you in the West Moat Ocean was to be eaten up by demonic beasts or get killed, not lose your way Even if you really lost your way, it wouldn¡¯t be in the West Moat Ocean, but in the Great Desolate Sea Domain beyond West Moat Ocean. Compared to the Great Desolate Sea Domain, the West Moat Ocean was just a small insignificant dot. If Mo Wuji said these words in the Great Desolate Sea Domain, then it might have been more believable. "I have a sea chart here. If dao friend needs it, you can make a copy." The bearded man took out a crystal ball and tossed it to Mo Wuji. "Many thanks." Mo Wuji quickly took the crystal ball and started recording down all of the information within it Just as he passed the crystal ball back to the bearded middle aged man, he heard a loud guffaw, "Three ants actually made me chase them for a few days. I guessed that you guys were going to the Cape of Peace, and indeed I was right. Let¡¯s see how the three of you will escape my glass sword!" A purple robed youth stepped forward after speaking, landing in between the middle aged man and Mo Wuji. This made the expression of the middle aged man took a change for the worse, and he immediately took a step back, staying away from Mo Wuji as far as possible. He suspected that Mo Wuji was also one of the people chasing after them, and used an excuse to make them stop. Mo Wuji also understood what was going on. No wonder that bearded middle aged young man was speeding away, so he was actually being chased down by someone. This purple robed youth was probably at least in Grand Luo Immortal Stage, so the three of them added together wouldn¡¯t be a match for him. Regardless, this problem was caused by him. If he hadn¡¯t stopped them, they could have escaped. As he thought about this, Mo Wuji stepped out and bowed respectfully to the purple robed youth, "Dao friend, I was the one that stopped those three. If anything happens here, it will not rest well with me. Why don¡¯t you let these three leave for a period of time before you continue chasing them again?" "Who are you to control what i do¡­ Eh, this flying shuttle of yours is not bad¡­" The purple robed youth scolded Mo Wuji as his gaze fell onto Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle. Chapter 602: Mo Wuji’s Saber Dao Chapter 602: Mo Wuji¡¯s Saber Dao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji sneered in his heart; a mere early stage Grand Luo Immortal, he really didn¡¯t have any fear. So what if this fella had a higher cultivation than him? Only ability matters. Even though this violet robed youth¡¯s spiritual will was indeed strong, Mo Wuji did not think that this fella was stronger than himself. Since he dared to stand here in front of this fella, it meant that he did not worry that this fella was a Grand Luo Immortal. After he advanced into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, Mo Wuji had really been considering searching for a Grand Luo Immortal to test his saber. This violet robed youth in front of him was the perfect target. If he could, he would have directly gotten those three people who he had blocked to escape. Regardless, he didn¡¯t want to the reason why these three people lost their lives; this was not his principle. "Leave the flying shuttle behind, chop off one of your arms then f*ck off," The violet robed youth said coldly. The killing intent within his eyes made it apparent that even if Mo Wuji did according to what this violet robed youth said, the other party wouldn¡¯t have let him go. This time, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even be bothered to reply. His palm opened and his saver appeared. At the same time, an engulfing saber light shot outwards. Since they were going to fight, why was there any need for chit chat? The saber light exploded, transforming into minute sand which filled the sky. These minute sand soon condensed to form a huge desert. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s saber, this violet robed youth¡¯s eyes squinted. Just with the strength of Mo Wuji¡¯s saber, he knew that the Gai Guangyi trio could not compare with Mo Wuji. The moment the saber formed this desert, the West Moat Ocean beneath their feet disappeared without a trace. In its place, was raw, boundless killing intent. Each grain of sand within the Grand Desert was filled with killing intent, and these killing intent condensed with one another. The violet robed youth turned serious and he burst forth with seething immortal elemtnal energy, his Grand Luo Domain flooded towards Mo Wuji like waves. Following which, he also wielded a saber. With a single slash, the saber conjured a myriad of brilliant coloured glass which enveloped Mo Wuji¡¯s desert. Mo Wuji¡¯s saber sacred art was indeed very impressive, but in this violet robed youth¡¯s perspective, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation shouldn¡¯t be as high as his. As long as his cultivation was higher, his domain would be able to suppress Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. His coloured glass slash would tell Mo Wuji was a true Saber Dao. "Boom!" The two¡¯s domains clashed with one another. This violet robed youth¡¯s wave-like domain did not meet with a towering dam, but a black hole-like whirlpool. No matter how high his waves got, no matter how many waves his domain sent out, it would be sucked away by Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain. Not a single drop was left behind. The violet robed youth¡¯s heart sunk. In that clash of domains, he already came to a realisation: Mo Wuji was definitely not weaker than him. If the others entered the fray, then he would definitely be at a disadvantage. At this instant, since his domain had been suppressed he could only use his Saber Dao to compete with Mo Wuji. This violet robed youth was sure that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation hadn¡¯t even reached the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. A cultivator that wasn¡¯t at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage was actually able to evenly match him. If this news were to get out, then wouldn¡¯t he, Wan Ping, lose all his face? "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The myriad of coloured glass clashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s desert of killing intent. The killing intent within the desert dissipated, but the desert continued to grow. At the same time, the radiant coloured glass also disappeared. "Coloured Glass Strike!" The violet robed youth¡¯s killing intent pervaded into the air. Even though he didn¡¯t manage to get even half of an upper hand in the clash of domains, he still didn¡¯t retreat, but even pounced towards Mo Wuji. A dazzling saber light of killing intent suddenly appeared above the ocean. Within that dazzling light, there was a unique energy and saver intent. At this moment, whether it was Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, or Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, they were all sealed by this dazzling saber intent. He was unable to feel or sense anything else in his surroundings. Even the three people in the distance fell into the entrancement of this dazzling light. They had never seen such beautiful light before, no, it should be, they had never seen such beautiful saber light before. It was like a pretty piece of coloured glass. However, they soon reacted. This was no coloured glass, but an attack. The moment this Coloured Glass Strike appeared, their eyes and spiritual will wouldn¡¯t be able to see anything else but this light. Mo Wuji was not the same as them. The moment his eyes weren¡¯t able to see anything, he simply closed them. At this moment, he hadn¡¯t even opened his spiritual eye. Even though he knew that he would be able to see through everything the moment he opened his spiritual eye, it wasn¡¯t important to Mo Wuji at all. The grey saber in his hand slashed out. This was his second slash: Winding River! Back when he was battling with Jin Yiren, he wasn¡¯t able to display the full power of his second slash. But, he wasn¡¯t the same as he used to be; he was now a true Grand Yi Immortal; he was a Grand Yi Immortal who created the meridian cultivation method. Under the violet robed youth''s Coloured Glass Strike, Mo Wuji''s Grand River finally dispersed. But at the same time, a bright silver river welcomed the violet robed youth''s coloured glass saber light. The waters cascade down from three thousand chi above, like the Heaven''s silver river descending from the top! At this instant, Mo Wuji''s Winding River was that silver river descending from the Heaven. This silver river''s radiance seemed otherworldly as it directly swallowed that dazzling coloured glass saber light. Beautiful, moving, surging, and even a bit arrogant¡­ This was the first time Mo Wuji truly displayed his Winding River, but this Winding River left his heart reverberating in shock. It was more than 10 times stronger than he had expected. Moreover, this saber was but a scant of the enlightenment that he got from that river. A superficial saber sacred art was already so powerful and grand. By the time he fully understood Winding River, he would even be able to match an Immortal King. Perhaps it was a misconception, but this misconception left Mo Wuji filled with lofty ambitions; he started to have a grand and open ambition and courage. If it was before this, Mo Wuji merely felt that this violet robed youth only had a higher cultivation but he might not be stronger. But now, Mo Wuji had complete confidence that he would defeat this violet robed youth. Whether this confidence matched his actual strength, Mo Wuji was currently feeling at the top of the world. "Qiang!" It was clearly a clash of saber light, but the heavy sound of metals clashing reverberated through the air. Even though the space was stable and wouldn''t tear because of the two''s battle, the three people spectating the battle could clearly feel the intense vibrations in the air. "Pff!" A faint blood light exploded. The violet robed youth felt his coloured flass saber light instantly dispersed. Following which, an intense sensation of emptiness inundated him; his forehead turned cold and he hurriedly retreated backward. Mo Wuji wasn''t feeling all too good as well. His Winding River was clearly superior to his opponent''s Coloured Glass Strike by several levels, but because his cultivation level was insufficient, and his understanding of the Winding River was only at the early stages, he felt that he wasn''t able to fully exhibit its power. The Winding River clearly had some leftover power but it was unable to cause any lethal damage to the other party. Not only that, his hand was slightly trembling. He was unable to continue with his third slash: Setting Sun. Mo Wuji inhaled deeply; he was sure that he could continue and use his Setting Sun, this violet robed youth wouldn''t be walking any further; this youth would directly perish under his slash. No, there was no need to even his use Setting Sun. If he had fully displayed his Winding River, that one slash wouldn''t have merely sliced a blood trail on the violet robed youth''s forehead, but sliced the other party in half. "You''re very strong, but do you know who I am?" The violet robed youth was no longer as arrogant as he was previously. The faint blood trail on his forehead had already disappeared. He knew that even if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t as strong as him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to keep Mo Wuji here. There was no need to talk about keeping Mo Wuji here, it probably wouldn¡¯t even be possible for him to defeat Mo Wuji. That trail of blood on his forehead already made things clear. The Saber Dao of this youth in front of him was much stronger than his. If not for his higher cultivation, then he, Wan Ping, would be the one fleeing for his life. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, but he wasn¡¯t looking at the violet robed youth, but at the grey saber in his hand. To be honest, his saber was slightly lacking. Just now, he wasn¡¯t able to attain the upper hand was partly due to his saber. The grade of his saber was truly too low for his sacred art. "Why haven¡¯t the three of you escaped?" Mo Wuji¡¯s attention turned to the trio. The middle aged man with a huge beard hurriedly went forward and bowed to Mo Wuji, "This friend has helped the three of us, if the three of us run away like that, how could we still be considered human? Even if we know that we won¡¯t be able to offer any help, we would only leave after this friend leaves." Even though they clearly know that they wouldn¡¯t be a match for the violet robed youth, they still said such words. This really changed Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of them. Seeing Mo Wuji blatantly ignore him, the violet robed youth fumed with anger. However, he was helpless as Mo Wuji had no reason to fear him. He could only suppress the fire in his heart as he said, "This immortal here is Wan Ping, I¡¯m from Zero Heaven Immortal Domain¡¯s Vast Ocean Immortal School. Friend, are you sure you want to make an enemy of my Vast Ocean Immortal School?" It would have been better if this fella didn¡¯t mention ¡®Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯. The moment Mo Wuji heard Vast Ocean Immortal School, his heart instantly exploded with killing intent. He was the one who killed Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Bai Chitian. Back during the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition, he was pursued by Wan Fan, and he almost died in the other party¡¯s hands. If not for his flying shuttle, he would already have been killed by Wan Fan. So what if they were from Vast Ocean Immortal School? If they want to kill him, Mo Wuji, they would have to pay the price. "Friend, Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Grand Elder Jin Yusheng is a late stage Immortal Emperor Expert. Also Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Sect Head Wan Fan is Wan Fan¡¯s uncle. It¡¯s said that he is at the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage and is about to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage." That bearded middle aged man hurriedly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji stared at Wan Ping. In his heart, he was thinking: This guy is really courting death. No matter what, he was going to kill this fella. As he thought of this, he transmitted a message to the bearded middle-aged man, "When I take action, the three of you help me to hold this fella down. Of course, if you guys aren¡¯t willing to offend Vast Ocean Immortal Scool, then please take your leave first. I can stay here on my own." That bearded middle-aged man chuckled, "There¡¯s no need to talk about how friend is only here because of the three of us. Even if you aren¡¯t, would I, Gai Guangyi, be scared about fighting someone from the Vast Ocean Immortal School? Wu Nian, Ji Cai, we will attack together!" As he finished saying that, he didn¡¯t even wait for Mo Wuji as he charged towards Wan Ping. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with appreciation; this fella was not only smart, but decisive. He clearly knew that Mo Wuji was going to kill Wan Ping so he directly charged to the front. Mo Wuji naturally wouldn¡¯t send these three people to their deaths; he directly crossed the distance between them and slashed out with his saber. Chapter 603: Cape Of Peace Chapter 603: Cape Of Peace Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wan Ping¡¯s face changed; he didn''t really care about the other three people, but he was especially worried about Mo Wuji''s Winding River. If Mo Wuji used that Winding River move again, he would very likely fall into a disadvantage and then be surrounded by the others. If the item on Gai Guangyi wasn''t too important to him, he might already have fled. Fortunately, Wan Ping soon discovered that Mo Wuji''s slash wasn''t Winding River, but an extremely ordinary looking slash. He slashed with the Coloured Glass Saber in his hand, and he allowed his domain to burst forth strongly. "Boom!" Mo Wuji''s saber light was shattered; the entire sky became filled with Wan Ping''s coloured glass saber light. Wan Ping rejoiced; he realised that he had overestimated Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji seemed to only have those two good slashes; this third slash easily unraveled. "Crack!" After Mo Wuji''s saber light was shattered, the coloured glass saber light landed on Mo Wuji''s domain. Even if Mo Wuji''s domain was any stronger, it wasn''t able to defend against Wan Ping''s coloured glass saber light. In everyone''s eyes, the only thing Mo Wuji could do at this moment was to retreat; the faster, the better. Otherwise, Mo Wuji would be completely restrained by Wan Ping. The bearded middle-aged man could clearly see that Mo Wuji was in a fire condition. The moment Mo Wuji retreated, the three of them would be sitting ducks in front of Wan Ping¡¯s saber. At this point, the best choice for the three of them was to retreat as well. However, this middle-aged man was very clear that the moment he retreated, Mo Wuji would very likely be maimed by Wan Ping''s coloured glass saber light. He, Gai Guangyi, had always done things true to his character; leaving now would be a betrayal to their alliance. Moreover, if he retreated, this youth who helped them deal with Wan Ping would be heavily injured. When that happens, they also wouldn''t be able to escape. As he thought of this, not only didn''t he escape, his magic treasure began to concentrate with more immortal elemental energy. Mo Wuji naturally knew what situation they were in. Thus, he really appreciated the decision that Gai Guangyi made. This was a forthright man; at least this man didn''t take the opportunity to flee, leaving him to fend for his own. Since Mo Wuji had already decided to kill Wan Ping, how could he be the one to retreat in injury? Not only didn''t he retreat, he even took one step forward. He seemed to send himself towards the Coloured Glass Saber. Then, he punched. Suddenly, an Yin Yang Taiji Seal appeared in front of his fist. That seal rapidly expanded, forming a huge grey energy. This death energy pervaded and filled the air. At this instant, the entire space seemed to be brimming with the energy of death. Mo Wuji''s eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale white. Endless amounts of immortal elemental energy, spiritual will and vitality were being sucked away by this punch. At this instant, there was no need to even talk about Wan Ping who was the target of the attack, even the three people teaming with Mo Wuji felt their hearts turning cold. A sense of impending doom surged into their minds as their hearts became filled with despair. That''s not right, within the death and despair, there''s a hint of life. However, this hint of life seems so distant and hard to grasp. "What punch is this?" Wan Ping completely forgotten that his coloured glass saber had landed on Mo Wuji and had only draw a bit of blood. His entire mind had been drawn to this punch. Within this punch, there was life. Even though it was only several inches away from him, that life felt like it was as distant as an unending chasm. More than life, was the death within this punch. Even though the punch hadn''t landed, Wan Ping could already feel the beckoning of death. Mo Wuji''s face turned increasingly pale. He had the vitality channel, but it was truly hard for him to support using this move against a Grand Luo Immortal like Wan Ping. "Wheel of Life and Death! You should be honored that I used this punch to send you to hell." Mo Wuji''s voice was slightly raspy, it was like his punch, devoid of life. Wan Ping struggled to slash with his Coloured Glass Saber, but the energy of death was too oppressive. All his energy had been suppressed by this energy and he wasn''t even able to properly wield his weapon. "No, you can''t kill me¡­" Wan Ping''s eyes were finally filled with fear and disorder. Perhaps such an expression was more suitable for his youth like appearance. "You''re not the first Vast Ocean Immortal School disciple I killed, and you won''t be the last one either. Go on then. There''s no need for any attachments¡­" "Bang!" The moment Mo Wuji''s words were uttered, the Wheel of Life and Death landed on Wan Ping. Wan Ping''s eyes dimmed and his body instantly turned grey. In just that short time, death energy bad completely wrested away all his life. "Pff!" The body exploded. Mo Wuji extended his hand and grabbed Wan Ping''s storage ring. At this moment, Wan Ping was dead in both body and soul. As for his Coloured Glass Saber, it fell into the West Moat Ocean; Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to pick it up. At this instant, he was also like a lamp running out of fuel. If not for his vitality channel, he really wouldn''t have dared to his Wheel of Life and Death. The exuberant vitality from the channel rapidly moisturized Mo Wuji''s entire body. The vitality channel also drew in vitality from the surroundings which also moisturized Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s grey, defeated face and withered spiritual will also recovered rapidly. However, he still wasn¡¯t able to move; Wan Ping wasn¡¯t weak, just to kill Wan Ping, he had depleted much of his energy. Gai Guangyi and co. stared blankly at Mo Wuji. Even after a long time, they didn¡¯t say a word. Previously, they thought that Mo Wuji was definitely going to be heavily injured and they expected the worst. However, with just one punch, this youth killed the Grand Luo Immortal Wan Ping. They, themselves, knew exactly how terrifying that punch was, because they had also felt the overwhelming energy of death within that punch. If this punch had been targeted at them, not one of them would have survived. If a person could release such a deadly punch, one could easily tell how terrifying that person was. In their eyes, there was an additional tinge of reverence. After half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji finally opened his eyes. He turned and saw Gai Guangyi and co. "Friend, many thanks for lending a hand to help us. If this friend didn¡¯t do that, the three of us would probably have ended up in Wan Ping¡¯s hands." Gai Guangyi noticed that Mo Wuji had stopped healing himself, and he immediately clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji in gratitude. Mo Wuji smiled, "It was mutual. If the three of you didn¡¯t help to hold him down, Wan Ping might already have escaped. My name is Mo Wuji, how may I address the three of you?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say those words purely out of courtesy. During his battle with Wan Ping, because of the three of them, Wan Ping was only able to exhibit 70% of his strength. Mo Wuji was never weaker than Wan Ping, and now that Wan Ping wasn¡¯t able to fully display his abilities, his killing ace, the Wheel of Life and Death, was able to murder Wan Ping without fail. The bearded middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I am Gai Guangyi." Thereafter, he pointed at the good looking woman and said, "This is Wu Nian, and the big fella beside her is Ji Chai." Ji Chai was indeed a big man; he was more than 2 meters tall and he had a strong and muscular physique. "Previously, I heard Wan Ping say that the three of you are heading to the Cape of Peace. May I ask where the Cape of Peace is? Is it near to here?" The time Mo Wuji spent in the Immortal World wasn¡¯t very long, moreover, he was swept out of the Immortal World after a short time here, so he still wasn¡¯t very familiar with the places here. "Brother Mo doesn¡¯t know of the Cape of Peace?" Gai Guangyi was shocked. The fact that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know about the Cape of Peace was even more unbelievable than the fact that Mo Wuji was lost in the West Moat Ocean. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Ever since I ascended into the Immortal World, I had always been behind closed doors. That¡¯s why I¡¯m not too familiar with this place." Regardless whether Mo Wuji¡¯s words were true or not, Gai Guangyi decided not to question him. Instead, he said with prudence, "Brother Mo, that Wan Ping is an important figure in the Vast Ocean Immortal School. If Brother Mo isn¡¯t the disciple of some big sect, then I would suggest that Brother Mo follows us to the Cape of Peace." "I¡¯d like to hear more details about the place," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. Gai Guangyi continued speaking, "The Cape of Peace is a place which prohibits killing. In that place, even if there are any sort of grievances, killing still isn¡¯t allowed. As long as you didn¡¯t offend someone as powerful as an Immortal Emperor, then you would be safe when you reach the Cape of Peace. No one would dare to lay hands on you." "What if I offended an Immortal Emperor?" Mo Wuji asked. After all, he had really offended an Immortal Emperor. Even though he still didn¡¯t know how he offended Immortal Emperor Lun Cai, but since Immortal Emperor Lun Cai had killed his men, he wouldn¡¯t let this matter rest. Gai Guangyi didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji had offended Immortal Emperor Lun Cai; he only thought about the matter of Mo Wuji killing Wan Ping. Wan Ping was a genius of the Vast Ocean Immortal School, and the Vast Ocean Immortal School did have an Immortal Emperor. Thus, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t wrong to say that he had offended an Immortal Emperor. "If you have offended an Immortal Emperor, then you can only go to the Cape of Peace¡¯s Peace Resthouse. The owner of the Peace Resthouse is called Zhuo Pingan. [1] As long as you go to Peace Resthouse, it would be equivalent to being under his shelter. To anyone who dared to fight in Peace Resthouse, there¡¯s only one word: Death. In the countless of years, Peace Resthouse had sheltered many pursued cultivators. It was exactly because of the existence of the Peace Resthouse that the Cape of Peace formed. Eventually, it became a rule that in the Cape of Peace, no killing could take place. Of course, this rule does not extend to Immortal Emperors. But Immortal Emperors still wouldn¡¯t do anything in the Peace Resthouse itself," Gai Guangyi explained. So impressive? Mo Wuji suddenly thought of a movie that he had watched back on Earth. That movie was called Peace Hotel. Anyone that went to the hotel were not allowed to fight. Mo Wuji was very clear that anyone who could operate such a resthouse must be incomparably strong. However, he also knew another thing; anyone who would open such a hotel would eventually be killed. "Brother Mo, the Vast Ocean Immortal School would definitely be able to trace Wan Ping¡¯s death to you. The moment a genius like Wan Ping gets killed, the person who killed him will leave threads behind. There¡¯s no need to talk about senior, there might already be an imprint of the three of us," Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s silence, Gai Guangyi continued. Mo Wuji did not think that Gai Guangyi was blindly speaking; Gai Guangyi¡¯s words were very logical. He was an array master, so he, himself, had done much research on imprints. Back when he was in Zhen Xing, he also suffered under the imprint of the Broken Sect. Of course, with his current abilities and his 108 meridians, the Vast Ocean Immortal School should forget about leaving any imprints on him. However, the Cape of Peace did catch his interest. He had offended far too many people. Perhaps one day, when he had no other roads to take, he could really make a trip to the Cape of Peace. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Then I will have to trouble Brother Gai to lead the way. I will also be heading to the Cape of Peace." [1] Pingan means peace or safety. Chapter 604: Peace Is Relative Chapter 604: Peace Is Relative Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Alright." Gai Guangyi immediately agreed. Thereafter, he seemed to recall something and he continued, "Brother Mo, the Cape of Peace is in the gulf in between the West Moat Ocean and the Great Desolate Sea Domain. If the Vast Ocean Immortal School really finds us at the Cape of Peace, we could try to hide at the Great Desolate Sea Domain." "Great Desolate Sea Domain?" Mo Wuji stared at Gai Guangyi in doubt. Gai Guangyi explained, "The Great Desolate Sea Domain is the true endless ocean. It is boundless and limitless; very few in the Immortal World are able to traverse across the entire Great Desolate Sea Domain. In the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain, there¡¯s countless treasures and opportunities, but only innumerable dangers. Typically, one could stay in the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain for ten years, and that¡¯s already considered very lucky. Actually, the reason why we are heading to the Cape of Peace is because we have intentions of going to the Great Desolate Sea Domain." "Why? Didn''t you say that there''s the Peace Resthouse?" Mo Wuji was increasingly confused. Peace Resthouse was even able to block an Immortal Emperor, so why''s there still a need to leave the Cape of Peace? Gai Guangyi laughed ruefully, "There''s something that Brother Mo doesn''t know. The prices of Peace Resthouse are staggering; it''s 10,000 high grade immortal crystals a day. Think about it, who would be able to afford that." Mo Wuji released a breath of cold air. 10,000 high grade crystals a day; that would be millions of high grade crystals in a year. Even he wouldn''t be able to afford it. No, that wasn''t an apt example; even an Immortal Emperor wouldn''t be able to afford it. If it''s really like that, then this Peace Resthouse really didn''t deserve its name. Gai Guangyi gave a bitter smile, "In reality, there are very few who could afford to stay at Peace Resthouse. Most people stay at another resthouse nearby. Once they receive notice that an Immortal Emperor was coming, they would rush to Peace Resthouse. That way, they would be able to save on their immortal crystals. Of course, there are risks with that method." "He''s really a money maker," Mo Wuji could not help but sigh in praise. That Zhuo Pingan was really quite smart to use such a method to earn immortal crystals. Of course, this was based on the premise that he had true capabilities. "I have also heard of some people that stay in Peace Resthouse for prolonged times; the longest time is already more than a century and that person still hasn''t left." Gai Guangyi added when he heard Mo Wuji''s lamentation. A century? How many immortal crystals was that? That was a number counted in the billions. Before this, Mo Wuji thought that he was rather wealthy, but in front of these billionaires, he really wasn''t anything much. Regardless of how expensive the Cape of Peace was, Mo Wuji still intended to take a look. After all, the people he had offended were rather strong. Mo Wuji invited the trio on his flying shuttle. His flying shuttle was a Grade 7 immortal equipment and there basically weren''t any powerful beasts in this part of West Moat Ocean, so their journey went very smoothly. After a few days, during their hearty conversations, Mo Wuji discovered some land in his spiritual will. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, a land within the sea was either an island or a reef. Thus, that¡¯s what he expected the Cape of Peace to be. But in Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, he saw that this land was actually like an ordinary city. There was no jutting mountains; it was simply a flat city square built on the ocean. Not only that, the land seemed to be on the same level as the sea. The Cape of Peace was protected by arrays, thus not a single drop of the violent waves were able to seep in. "Brother Mo, we will have to stop the flying shuttle here. The Cape of Peace only allows ships to sail in from the sea; no flying equipments are allowed to enter through the sky," Gai Guangyi explained by the side. Even without Gai Guangyi explaining, Mo Wuji had already stopped his flying shuttle. It wasn''t because he knew the rules, but because his spiritual will detected another grand sight. Past the Cape of Peace, there was another ocean. However, the seawater in that ocean was actually dark red. "Brother Gai, could that red sea be the Great Desolate Sea Domain?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment. Gai Guangyi nodded, "Yes, the seawater in the Great Desolate Sea Domain is entirely dark red in colour." Mo Wuji sighed; this was truly a mystical place. Mo Wuji had gone to the Red Sea before; the red colour of the Red Sea was completely different and it was caused by sea sawdust. Moreover, it only turned red during certain seasons and the area didn''t encompass the entire sea. This Great Desolate Sea Domain was countless of times wider than the Red Sea; clearly, this dark red colour wouldn''t be because of sea sawdust. Gai Guangyi brought out a small boat. This small boat could fit seven to eight people. The pier at the Cape of Peace wasn''t very big. Moreover, Mo Wuji didn''t even see a single vessel docked at the pier. Gai Guangyi''s little boat soon approached the pier; at the pier, there was only an ordinary looking cultivator standing guard. After the four stepped onto the pier, that cultivator scanned the four of them and said, "Grand Yi Immortals and above need to pay 50,000 high grade immortal crystals each." Gai Guangyi took the initiative to hand a storage ring to that cultivator and said, "The four of us intend to stay on Cape of Peace for sometime. Here is 200,000 high grade immortal crystals." The cultivator accepted Gai Guangyi''s storage ring, then brought out four jade tokens and handed them to Gai Guangyi, "Go in then. I wish you good luck. Remember to inscribe your names on the jade tokens." As they exited the pier, Mo Wuji asked, "Brother Gai, everyone needs to pay 50,000 high grade immortal crystals just to enter?" Gai Guangyi nodded, "Yes, and that''s not the only fee. There will still be all sorts of various fees later. For example, living fees, cultivation fees, safety fees. That 50,000 that we just paid was merely the shoring fee." Mo Wuji lamented in his heart: What a sinister man. With such methods, it was hard for this Zhuo Pingan not to get rich. Gai Guangyi handed the jade tokens out, "Remember to inscribe your names on the jade token." Mo Wuji accepted the jade token. On it, there was today''s date. From the looks of it, any random name could be carved on the jade token. It seems like the Cape of Peace didn''t care what your name was, but how long you stayed. Mo Wuji casually inscribed his name on the jade token as he said, "Brother Gai, I will hand you the 50,000 high grade immortal crystals later." Gai Guangyi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Brother Mo, we''re all in the same boat together. Also, for this trip to the Cape of Peace, I have already prepared quite a number of immortal crystals. I can still afford a mere 50,000 immortal crystals." Since Gai Guangyi had already said this, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t add anything further. He wanted to make some inquiries here in the Cape of Peace so he wouldn¡¯t be leaving so quickly. When he leaves, he would hand Gai Guangyi some immortal crystals then. "Boom!" The force of immortal elemental energy colliding swept over. Mo Wuji and co. immediately stopped in their tracks. In his astonishment, Mo Wuji saw two cultivators fighting not far away. There were even people spectating by the sides. The cultivator that was in the the disadvantage was entirely covered in blood. Mo Wuji stared at Gai Guangyi in confusion, "Brother Gai, isn¡¯t this the Cape of Peace? Why are people fighting here?" Gai Guangyi smiled bitterly, "Brother Mo, there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know. Fighting in the Cape of Peace is very normal. Only if you stay in Peace Resthouse, then no one would dare to provoke you. However, these fights aren¡¯t lethal because if you kill a person in the Cape of Peace, you would be killed. These fights only result in physical injuries and the losing party would hand over some immortal crystals as compensation. That¡¯s about it." Just as Gai Guangyi finished speaking, that injured cultivator indeed threw a storage bag to the victorious cultivator. After grabbing the storage bag, that cultivator left hurriedly. Since the fight had already ended, the spectators also dispersed in their separate ways. Mo Wuji was speechless; how could this be considered mere physical injuries? He clearly saw that the injured cultivator had damaged muscles and bones, and even his dantian was injured. Even though they could be healed, these injuries would require expensive immortal pills. Gai Guangyi seemed to know what was on Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. He explained, "Actually, there¡¯s a way to avoid conflict with other people, that is to stay in a resthouse for the entire day and cultivate. Mo Wuji¡¯s lips twitched as he asked, "But staying in a resthouse probably isn¡¯t cheap, right?" Gai Guangyi sighed, "indeed. The cheapest one already requires 100,000 high grade immortal crystals a year. Thus, many people would take the risk to go to the Great Desolate Sea Domain to search for materials to sell. It¡¯s just that everytime you leave the Cape of Peace, you would need 100,000 high grade immortal crystals." Mo Wuji finally understood; every aspect of living in the Cape of Peace required immortal crystals. Not having any immortal crystals was akin to waiting for death. To put things plainly, this was a money squandering establishment that brought no form of pleasure whatsoever. "Brother Gai, why didn¡¯t anyone come and find trouble for us? Logically, we are newcomers so we should be easy targets," Wu Nian asked softly. Gai Guangyi explained, "It¡¯s exactly because we¡¯re newcomers that no one would cause trouble for us. In the first month, we wouldn¡¯t be in any trouble. But when it comes to the second month, you will see for yourself whether anyone would come causing trouble for you. Usually, weak cultivators wouldn¡¯t have enough immortal crystals so they wouldn¡¯t even be able to come to the Cape of Peace. In this world, peace is relative. How can there be absolute peace." Mo Wuji acknowledged Gai Guangyi¡¯s words. Indeed, peace was relative in this world. "The few of you should be newcomers, right? Why don¡¯t you come to our Peace Hotel? Our Peace Hotel is surrounded by rich immortal spiritual energy and the service is excellent. Cultivating in there is many levels higher than cultivating outside." A slightly tanned man walked in front of the four of them, giving an introduction as saliva and splitter splattered out of his mouth. From Gai Guangyi¡¯s previous explanation, Mo Wuji already understood that fighting wasn¡¯t allowed in any resthouse in the Cape of Peace. Thus, this fella is using immortal spiritual energy and service to draw in customers. In reality, the immortal spiritual energy in the Cape of Peace was extremely scarce. Even if it was many folds higher than the Cape of Peace, the resthouse probably wouldn¡¯t be any good. Gai Guangyi asked, "May I ask how much your Peace Hotel charges a year?" This man hurriedly laughed, "Not much, not much, just 150,000 immortal crystals per person. If the four of you need four rooms and pay together, then it would only need 550,000 immortal crystals a year." Gai Guangyi shook his head, "That''s too expensive. We aren''t able to afford it." This man clearly wasn¡¯t someone to give up easily. He hurriedly took another step forward and said, "In the Cape of Peace, the cheapest resthouse already costs 100,000 a year, and the conditions are extremely lacking. Not only does my Peace Hotel have a beautiful environment, the rooms are big and we even provide stall windows for you to sell anything. Those only cost 1,000 high grade immortal crystals a day." Gai Guangyi seemed to want to say something, but Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Let¡¯s go in and take a look." Chapter 605: Enemies Everywhere Chapter 605: Enemies Everywhere Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This soliciting fella really wasn¡¯t bragging; Peace Hotel was indeed bigger than an average resthouse, and outside, there was really a row of stalls. "Take a look at this row of stalls. There are all facing the main street. In the Cape of Peace, a standard stall would cost at least 2,000 immortal crystals a day, and it would be very hard to get your hands on one. As long as you stay in Peace Hotel, you only need 1,000 immortal crystals a day to rent a stall here," The man pointed at the row of stalls and said proudly. "Then we¡¯ll stay here," Mo Wuji said to Gai Guangyi and co, "that fella had quite a bit of immortal crystals so there¡¯s temporarily no need to worry about immortal crystals." Actually, Mo Wuji had yet to open Wan Ping¡¯s storage ring. However, he said these words to imply to Gai Guangyi that they also had a share of Wan Ping¡¯s immortal crystals. Gai Guangyi wasn¡¯t a garrulous kind of person; when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he expressed his consent. When he heard that Mo Wuji had agreed to stay here, the smile on that solicitor got even wider as he said, "We even have a deluxe suite, not only does it have a spiritual beast room, it also has pill rooms, smithing rooms, and even¡­" Mo Wuji lifted his hand and directly interrupted this fella¡¯s words, "There¡¯s no need to introduce anything else. You only need to tell me, if the we stay in a normal room, is it possible to have four rooms for three years for 1,500,000 high grade immortal crystals. If it¡¯s possible, then we¡¯ll take a room immediately. If not, then we will leave right now." "Ah¡­" This fella was dumbfounded. Who would bargain like Mo Wuji? He sliced the price by 150,000 immortal crystals at a single go, and he didn¡¯t even give the other party a chance to negotiate. Moreover, this price that Mo Wuji stated was definitely impossible. "Of course it¡¯s possible. I will call the shots then. Four rooms, 1,500,000 immortal crystals for three years." A clear crisp voice sounded; a pretty woman walked out. When he laid eyes on this woman, the first person that came to Mo Wuji¡¯s mind was Lou Yueshuang. This woman was also very pretty, but just like Lou Yueshuang, she was flat-chest. She¡¯s truly a beautiful woman, but the ironing board at the front was a real pity. As she waited for Mo Wuji to pay the immortal crystals, this woman said to Mo Wuji with some slight overtone in her voice, "My name is Han Long, I¡¯m the person in charge here. Perhaps in the future, I would need your help." "You recognise me?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows and said calmly. Han Long smiled, "To be honest, I don¡¯t know you. It¡¯s just that I recently made a trips to several Immortal Domains recently and I find you very familiar. If you don¡¯t mind, I will visit you later." Gai Guangyi was an experienced man; he didn¡¯t say anything much, he only bid his farewells to Mo Wuji then hurriedly brought the other two to their rooms. Mo Wuji did not mind. When he returned to his room, he brought Shuai Guo out. 100,000 over thousand high grade immortal crystals a year; this was already not a bad price even when compared to other Immortal Domains. However, the room here wasn¡¯t very big; in Mo Wuji¡¯s rough estimations, it was at most 20 square meters. The first thing Mo Wuji did was to install a defensive array and a warning array. Even though fighting was not allowed here, he wasn¡¯t going to go defenseless. Before Mo Wuji could complete installing all his arrays, the seal on his door was activated. Mo Wuji released the seal and he saw Han Long standing at his door with a huge smile on her face. "It was bold of me to come unannounced. I seek Pill Master Mo¡¯s understanding." The moment she opened her mouth, Han Long exposed Mo Wuji¡¯s identity as a pill refiner. This let Mo Wuji know that the other party definitely recognised him. "Dao Friend Han, please come in." Mo Wuji nodded and allowed Han Long in. Han Long didn¡¯t behave courteously; she invited herself to sit as she entered the room. Waiting for Mo Wuji to reform the seal back on the door, she said, "Does Pill Master Mo know his own predicament?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Pray tell." Han Long¡¯s tone turned serious, "Pill Master Mo, not long ago, I went to several Immortal Domains. I have to tell you an unfortunate bit of news. Immortal Emperor Lun Cai already knows that you¡¯re alive and he¡¯s searching for you everywhere. I even heard that Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun and the Vast Ocean Immortal School seem to be looking for you. They said that you are related to the death of Bai Chitian. There¡¯s also this sect called Mirage Mountain that seems to be looking for you, even claiming that there¡¯s a sect destroying grievance on you." "Then what about the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance?" Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t surprised that these people were looking for him; he had destroyed Hai Yi Continent¡¯s Mirage Mountain and the Immortal World¡¯s Mirage Mountain clearly went ahead to spread news of his survival. Han Long said, "The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance did not say anything, nor did they indicate any opinions." Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart; not saying anything in itself was an opinion: the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had completely abandoned him. "What about my Tian Ji Pill Court?" Mo Wuji asked. From Han Long¡¯s tone, he could tell that Han Long seemed to have specially investigated on him. Indeed, Han Long answered, "Tian Ji Pill Court was destroyed by Immortal Emperor Lun Cai. I heard that he even killed four people." Mo Wuji suddenly stood up. Even though he already knew that Immortal Emperor Lun Cai had killed the people in Tian Ji Pill Court, when he heard it again, he could not help but want to charge out and kill Immortal Emperor Lun Cai. Han Long didn¡¯t do anything; she knew that since Mo Wuji came here, it meant that he wasn¡¯t going to do anything rash. Even though Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t here to run away from his enemies as Han Long thought, he still calmed down. Immortal Emperor Lun Cai was not someone he could handle; there was no need to talk about Immortal Emperor Lun Cai, none of the people pursuing him were people he could handle. Four people of Tian Ji Pill Court were killed. From the looks of it, Dou Hualong, Yi Lan and co. were probably already dead. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; he originally gave refuge to those surviving disciples of Tian Ji Sect in his Tian Ji Pill Court. However, the contrary happened, they had been implicated by him. This filled his heart with guilt and discomfort. "If I was the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, for a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King, I would definitely come forward and make a stand. I wouldn¡¯t allow Immortal Emperor Lun Cai and the rest continue to search for you." When Han Long saw Mo Wuji calm down, she made a statement on the side of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "If no one in Tian Ji Pill Court were killed, I would have forgiven them. But now, I will not forgive them. Perhaps I wouldn¡¯t seek the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance for revenge, but for me to reconcile with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, is impossible. The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance didn¡¯t stand out to say anything because they already know that I wouldn¡¯t have any association with them." If Mo Wuji knew what the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Head Xiao Lishi said, he would definitely be shocked at how terrifying Xiao Lishi was. Xiao Lishi had never met him, but was completely clear with the way that Mo Wuji thought. The only difference was that Mo Wuji did not intend to antagonize the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. Because of this, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was worried that Mo Wuji would cause problems for them in the future, so they wanted to choke this fire before it got any bigger. "So Pill Master Mo, it isn¡¯t entirely safe for you in the Cape of Peace. Perhaps only Peace Resthouse can assure your safety," Han Long said. Mo Wuji stared at Han Long in doubt, "I¡¯m now considered a customer of your Peace Hotel, but you¡¯re advising me to stay at Peace Resthouse?" Han Long sighed, "Because I¡¯m stating the truth. I believe that in less than a month, countless of experts would come to the Cape of Peace to look for you. If you were taken away from Peace Hotel by an Immortal Emperor, it would also be detrimental to my Peace Hotel. Of course, I¡¯m not talking about a fall in reputation." What kind of person was Mo Wuji? He could already see through Han Long''s intentions, "Dao Friend Han, just go straight to the point. I believe that you didn''t say those words completely because of Peace Hotel." When Han Long heard Mo Wuji''s words, she specially stood up and bowed to Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, I did indeed come here to ask you for help. The reason why I know so much about you was because I had specially investigated about you. Unfortunately, I wasn''t able to locate your whereabouts. I never expected that when I disappointedly returned to the Cape of Peace, I would meet you. Perhaps, this is a kind of fate." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything. He glanced at Han Long¡¯s flat chest and felt a little confused. Han Long was at the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. If she wanted a fuller chest, she didn¡¯t need to specially find him. Han Long felt Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze; she shook her head and said, "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯m not referring to my chest. I know that you are a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King, and perhaps, you would soon be able to concoct Tier 6 immortal pills¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Han Long¡¯s words, "Dao Friend Han Long, you just said something wrong. I¡¯m not a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King. I¡¯m already a Tier 6 Pill King." When he was a Xuan Immortal, Mo Wuji could already concoct Tier 6 immortal pills, albeit low grade ones. Now that he had advanced to the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, even though he hadn¡¯t tried to concoct any pills, Mo Wuji believed that he could definitely be able to concoct high grade Tier 6 pills. This was how confident he was of himself. Mo Wuji guessed that Han Long probably wanted to engage in some trade with him. Since that¡¯s the case, it would be better for him to have as many chips as possible. Since Han Long knew his predicament and still wanted to trade with him, she probably wouldn''t do anything bad. Mo Wuji''s words seemed to be within Han Long''s expectations; Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King, so how he be unable to concoct Tier 6 immortal pills? She nodded, "Pill Master Mo, I want you to help me concoct a batch of Draining Immortal King Pills, but I don''t have any Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit." Mo Wuji frowned slightly, "Dao Friend Han, I''m indeed a Tier 6 Pill King but I''m unable to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill." Han Long was currently in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Stage, so it was not unexpected that she wanted the Draining Immortal King Pill. However, Mo Wuji wouldn''t casually agree to such a request. It''s true that he was unable to concoct Draining Immortal King Pill, but even if he was able to, he wouldn''t agree to it. His cultivation was not high and he had too many enemies. If news got out that he could also concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill, wouldn''t he be courting his own death? Moreover, Han Long didn''t even have the main ingredient, the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, but she was still asking for a batch of pills. That''s simply asking for too much. Han Long didn''t seem to know what was on Mo Wuji''s mind; she continued speaking, "I know that Pill Master Mo is unable to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill, but I know that Pill Master Mo has a large number of Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits on him¡­" When Mo Wuji heard this, his face changed slightly. Previously, he had the backer of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, so it wasn''t a problem for him to have the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits on him. But now, if everyone knew that he had so many Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits, how terrifying would that be? Chapter 606: Zhuo Pingans Secret Chapter 606: Zhuo Pingan''s Secret Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I believe that with Pill Master Mo''s talent, it wouldn''t take many years for you to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. I also know that my request is crossing the line; I don''t have the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit but yet I still wanted Pill Master Mo to help me concoct a batch of Draining Immortal King Pills. However, I do have something to offer; I can tell you a secret of the Great Desolate Sea Domain. If they know of that place, even Immortal Emperors would personally come and fight for it," Han Long spoke in a solemn tone. Mo Wuji had an indifferent expression on his face; he didn''t respond to Han Long''s words. Only when it was in his hands, then could it be considered a secret. If it wasn''t in his hands, then it was simply an unknown. Thus, he wasn''t very enthusiastic about Han Long''s suggestion; he even wanted to send her off. Han Long could clearly see Mo Wuji''s indifference. Before Mo Wuji could even express his idea of sending her out, she hurriedly added, "Pill Master Mo, you shouldn''t know the current value of a Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, right? Due to some unknown reason in the Immortal World, all the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits that were grown by cultivators suddenly withered. Only wild Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits could survive. However, how many wild Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits are there? So after knowing that you have many Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits on you, there are already countless of people that have their eyes on you." "There''s no need for you to remind me. I also know that I''m in a precarious position," Mo Wuji furrowed his brows and said, his tone was still indifferent. Previously, he did overlook and forget that he had the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit. If he remembered it previously, perhaps he wouldn''t have come to the Cape of Peace. Han Long did not seem to mind Mo Wuji''s attitude and she continued, "In the Great Desolate Sea Domain, there''s a land of immortal herbs that has yet to be opened. It''s said that it''s even more abundant than Yunxian Immortal Valley. Moreover, I even know that there''s a Emperor Dao Fruit..." When she mentioned the Emperor Dao Fruit, Han Long paid special attention to Mo Wuji''s expression. She believes that anyone would be emotional if they heard of the Emperor Dao Fruit, much less a pill refiner like Mo Wuji. To her disappointment, Mo Wuji didn''t even raise an eyebrow. Clearly, he didn''t really care much about Han Long''s words. Mo Wuji naturally didn''t care about it, he already had one Emperor Dao Fruit and that thing wasn''t even useful to him at this time. Why would he need so many Emperor Dao Fruit? "I''m not interested." Mo Wuji shook his head. At this moment, he was thinking about how he should hide from Grand Emperor Lun Cai. It wasn''t safe in the Cape of Peace, nor did he want to leave with any other people. "I can introduce someone to protect you. Even Grand Emperor Lun Cai wouldn''t dare to do anything to you." When Han Long saw that Mo Wuji wasn''t even interested in the Emperor Dao Fruit, she decided to make one final attempt. Mo Wuji looked at Han Long doubtfully; was this woman mad, would such an expert who wouldn''t even fear Grand Emperor Lun Cai want to protect a Grand Yi Immortal like him? When Han Long saw a hint of interest flash across Mo Wuji''s eyes, she began to speak even more spiritedly, "The person I''m introducing is Zhuo Pingan. I believe that since you''ve come here, you would definitely know about Zhuo Pingan, right? Before this, Mo Wuji really didn''t know a thing about Zhuo Pingan. But after Gai Guangyi''s introduction, he did know a bit about that fella. He''s the one in control of the Cape of Peace, the owner of Peace Resthouse and the unscrupulous money maker. Mo Wuji guessed that this fella''s strength must be exceedingly high. "Why would he want to protect me?" Mo Wuji did not think that his mere status as a Tier 6 Pill King would earn the protection if an expert like Zhuo Pingan. Han Long said enigmatically, "Because Zhuo Pingan needs a Pill Emperor to concoct pills for him, and the Pill Emperor who concocts pills for him would change every other decade. Think about it, how many Pill Emperors are there in all seven Immortal Domains combined? If he changes a Pill Emperor every decade, then no number of Pill Emperor would be enough. So if you can become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor¡­" Before Han Long could finish speaking, Mo Wuji''s eyes turned cold. Han Long could clearly feel the iciness in Mo Wuji''s eyes and she subconsciously stopped talking. Mo Wuji said coldly, "Dao Friend Han Long, we have no grudges or enmity between us so why must you try to harm me?" Han Long looked at Mo Wuji in doubt; when did she try to harm him? Mo Wuji could see Han Long''s confusion and his tone momentarily eased, "Since Zhuo Pingan needs to change a Pill Emperor every other decade, it would mean that the pills he require is concocted with the Pill Emperor''s vitality and longevity. If the Pill Emperor concocts such pills for a prolonged time, his vitality would suffer greatly. Once his vitality falls to a certain level, he would no longer be able to concoct that pill. Tell me, when Zhuo Pingan chooses a Pill Emperor, does he show a preference for younger ones?" Han Long jolted but she immediately reacted; she subconsciously said, "That seems to be the case." She wasn''t a pill refiner but with this simple prompt by Mo Wuji, she came to a complete understanding. Mo Wuji was right. "Sorry, I didn''t know that concocting some pills would require vitality and longevity. Actually, I don''t have the rights to meet Zhuo Pingan, I only wanted you to agree to my request," Han Long said apologetically. Mo Wuji didn''t say anything further. Actually, if Zhuo Pingan really needed some vitality pill, he was suitable for that job. He had the vitality channel. If he ran out of it, he would only need to absorb vitality from the surroundings. However, unless he had no other choice, he really wouldn''t choose to do such a thing. Concocting pills for Zhuo Pingan to get rid of Grand Emperor Lun Cai''s threat was equivalent to jumping into a sea of fire after escaping from a mountain of blades. "Tell me about your secret in detail. If it''s feasible, I''m willing to follow you to make a trip to the Great Desolate Sea Domain," Mo Wuji sighed; he really didn¡¯t have any better alternative. If he was trapped in the Cape of Peace by Grand Emperor Lun Cai, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave even if he wanted to. Seeking refuge in Peace Resthouse would only be drinking poison to quench your thirst. Han Long¡¯s eyes sparkled; she hurriedly said, "In the Great Desolate Sea Domain, there¡¯s an unremarkable and inconspicuous place which holds an immortal herb garden. That immortal herb garden is protected by a high grade array, and it is guarded by a powerful Puppet Beast. The reason I know of this place was because I managed to obtain an ancient treasure map. Eventually, I took the risk to travel there and all this turned out to be true." "You say that it¡¯s guarded by a powerful Puppet Beast? What class is it?" A glimmer appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. Han Long didn¡¯t hide anything, "That Puppet Beast is at least Class 7 or above. I even suspect that it might be Class 9¡­ But there¡¯s no need for you to worry, that Puppet Beast seems to be running out of energy and its movements are slow and sluggish. At the moment, it doesn¡¯t pose any threat." After saying that, Han Long decided to incite Mo Wuji by adding, "That garden is left behind by an ancient power. A majority of the herbs inside are Tier 7 and above. If Pill Master Mo wants to advance to become a Pill Emperor, that place would be of great help. Moreover, there might even be other treasures in there." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue asking about that herb garden in the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Instead, he asked, "Why did you request for a batch of Draining Immortal King Pills? Usually, people would only ask for a single pill." Han Long took in a deep breath, then she spoke in a steady and firm voice, "Because I want revenge. My breasts were chopped away by a beast. Just because he wanted to please another woman, a woman who he thinks is better than me, that beast did such a vicious action. The reason why I need an entire batch is because I have two junior sisters. Supposedly, they had a 50% chance of being able to advance to become Immortal Kings. But because of me, they were implicated and suffered the same fate. Now, they are no are longer able get a glimpse into the Immortal King Stage. So, I want to use this to compensate them." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: There were really human scum everywhere. Just to make another woman feel happy, he actually sliced off the breasts off several other woman. One can only imagine what a pervert this fella was. If this fella had the misfortune of meeting Mo Wuji, then there¡¯s only one word for that scum: Death. To an immortal, it was true that severed breasts could be recovered. But the fleshly body was a an immortal¡¯s most important foundation and source of power. The moment it was damaged, even if it was recovered, the dao foundations would still be affected. An Immortal King had always been a peerless existence, and almost every Immortal King had perfect bodies. For such cultivators who had their dao foundations damaged, unless they used some heaven defying treasure, they typically weren¡¯t able to regain their original appearance. The reason why Han Long didn¡¯t use any precious treasure was probably because she was carrying the hope that she could advance to the Immortal King Stage with two Draining Immortal King Pills. Once she advanced into the Immortal King Stage, the damage to her body would naturally heal itself, and she would regain her perfect body. But how expensive was a Draining Immortal King Pill? It was already hard to obtain one of it, much less two. There¡¯s no wonder why Han Long was asking him for a batch of Draining Immortal King Pills with such fervour. After Han Long finished speaking, she looked at Mo Wuji expectantly. She was worried that Mo Wuji might reject her again. This time, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate. Even if he didn¡¯t work with Han Long, it was still likely that he was going to go to the Great Desolate Sea Domain. After all, he was being pursued by so many powerful people; there really wasn¡¯t many good places he could flee to. "I agree. When I advance to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, I will help you concoct a batch of Draining Immortal King Pills." The moment Mo Wuji made a decision, he wouldn¡¯t falter. "Many thanks Pill Master Mo." Han Long was so emotional that even her voice was trembling. "I suggest that Pill Master Mo and I head to the Great Desolate Sea Domain now. The methods of those Immortal Emperors are truly too terrifying. Even though there aren¡¯t any transfer arrays in the Cape of Peace, no one can be sure of when they will arrive. Especially Immortal Emperor Lun Cai, his beloved concubine is still alive so he¡¯s constantly trying to catch you." Mo Wuji sneered; this fella killed four of his people from Tian Ji Pill Court, and he still expects Mo Wuji to save his concubine? Did this Immortal Emperor Lun Cai think he was the God of Creation? He, Mo Wuji, wasn¡¯t such a magnamimous man. If he were to see Grand Emperor Lun Cai now, he would only say one sentence: Keep your neck clean and wait. On the other hand, Mo Wuji appproved of Han Long¡¯s words. It was better for them to leave the Cape of Peace as soon as possible, every day spent here was an additional day of danger. "Dao Friend Han Long, you recently made a trip to the several Immortal Domains, did you hear anything about the Devil Moon Immortal School?" Mo Wuji didn''t intend to ask this question, but he was truly unable to hold it in. Moreover, he had already formed an agreement with Han Long and before it was fulfilled, Han Long wouldn''t be likely to lie to him. Chapter 607: Zhuo Pingan Chapter 607: Zhuo Pingan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What is it?" Mo Wuji was slightly anxious as he stood up and asked. Han Long answered, "The Moon Seeking Mountain of the Devil Moon Immortal School was razed by someone. I¡¯ve heard that when the Devil Moon Immortal School tried to stop it, they even lost a few Immortal Reverent and a Quasi Emperor." "Who was it?" Mo Wuji questioned immediately because there was a fire raging wildly in his heart. If he wanted to know the whereabouts of Cen Shuyin, he should first find out about Lin Gu. Mo Wuji was aware that Lin Gu was from the Moon Seeking Mountain of the Devil Moon Immortal School and if Cen Shuyin was really saved, she would definitely be brought back to the Moon Seeking Mountain by Lin Gu. If the Moon Seeking Mountain was razed, there was a high chance that Cen Shuyin would be implicated. "It was Grand Emperor Lun Cai. Grand Emperor Lun Cai often had mood swings and because he believed that it was the Devil Moon Immortal School¡¯s Moon Seeking Palace who helped you get your slot to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond which eventually led to your death. My guess was that he was not strong enough to exterminate the Devil Moon Immortal School, otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be spared as well," Han Long answered promptly. It was indeed this b*stard with the odd temper. He didn¡¯t even know this b*stard Lun Cai yet Lun Cai was so angry that he would think that razing the Moon Seeking Mountain was logical and a natural thing for him to do. There was a sharp killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart and after staying silent for a while, Mo Wuji said, " It wasn¡¯t because Lun Cai was unable to exterminate the Devil Moon Immortal School but probably because he managed to strike some deal with the Devil Moon Immortal School. Moreover, the Devil Moon Immortal School was so afraid of Lun Cai so they allowed him to do whatever he want to the Moon Seeking Mountain. If this was true, there wouldn¡¯t be any purpose or meaning for the existence of this sect anymore." In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, if a sect would allow others to kill any of their disciples freely just to protect their self interest, this sect would be exterminated sooner or later. What was the point of having a sect without any souls? This was also the very reason why Mo Wuji admired the origins of the Tian Ji Sect. It was simply because the Tian Ji Sect would never sacrifice its disciples to preserve the sect. At this moment, the communication bead of Han Long lit up. Han Long shouted out, "Pill Master Mo, someone is asking around about you." Mo Wuji nodded because now that he had no backers, it was only natural that someone would covet for the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit. In fact, even if he still had his backers, there would still be people who would be interested in him and his possessions. "So when will we be heading to the Great Desolate Sea Domain?" Han Long asked enthusiastically. The truth was that Mo Wuji was actually not that worried because these experts who got the news would not appear straightaway in the Cape of Peace. Just as he was about to check the items in Wan Ping¡¯s storage ring, he suddenly thought of something. His face turned pale before saying, "Let¡¯s go, we will leave now. To the Great Desolate Sea Domain, hurry." The hurried tone revealed Mo Wuji¡¯s anxiety and impatience. Han Long was hoping that Mo Wuji would leave now because Mo Wuji was considered to be her only hope. Even if she had the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, she wouldn¡¯t be able to invite a Pill Emperor to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill for her. Now that she had found an insanely talented Mo Wuji in terms of his knowledge on pill dao, how could she miss her chance? Mo Wuji was very decisive as he simply bade goodbye to Gai Guangyi and co. before heading straight out of the Cape of Peace with Han Long towards the Great Desolate Sea Domain in the shortest possible time. At almost the same instance Mo Wuji and Han Long left, several experts in the ranks of the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Stage arrived at the Peace Hotel. The moment these few people entered the lobby on the level 1 of the hotel, they started shouting, "Which room does Mo Wuji live in?" "Get Mo Wuji down to leave with me," A gentle voice was heard from behind these shouting men. Following the gentle voice was a pale face scholar as his skin was as white as a white paper which made the veins on his skin visible. His eyes were half opened as if he had yet to wake up completely from his nap. The most impressionable part of him was his pair of hands as they were long and clean. "Senior Zhuo¡­" When these shouting Grand Luo Immortals turned and saw this pale face scholar, they started stammering as one of their legs even started to shiver. This scholar appeared to have not seen these few Grand Luo Immortals as he maintained his composure and looked politely at the front desk clerk of the Peace Hotel. The clerk bowed nervously as his tone was trembling slightly, "Sen, senior¡­ Mo Wuji had left for the Great Desolate Sea Domain not too long ago. He said he will be back very soon¡­" The pale skin scholar furrowed his brows before saying, "Then you let him know when he is back. Get him to find me straightaway." "Yes, yes, junior knows what to do¡­" The clerk lowered his head throughout the entire conversation. "Senior¡­" A round human ball came tumbling down from the second level with a terrified tone. The speed at which he descended from the second level was slightly comical. However, nobody dared to laugh at this human ball because as the owner of the Peace Hotel, how could he not be nervous upon the arrival of the number one figure in the Cape of Peace. The scholar merely nodded his head before walking out of the hotel emotionlessly. When he observed that the scholar was far away, the round, obese man wiped his cold sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡­ Once he entered the Great Desolate Sea Domain, Mo Wuji could smell the smell of fish. This was not the normal fish smell but a type of fishy blood energy. The sea water underneath him was all red and Mo Wuji suspected if he was standing on a piece of bloody sea. "Pill Master Mo, your flying shuttle should be a Grade 7 immortal equipment right?" Han Long exclaimed while standing on it. If they were to use her flying treasure, they would probably need at least a year. However, with Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle, they would only require two months to reach their destination. "Yes, even though I am no longer a member of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, I would still owe the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Nong Yong a favour," Mo Wuji said appreciatively. Nong Yong had given him this flying shuttle which had saved his life many times so Mo Wuji would definitely find opportunities to repay him someday. "Pill Master Mo, what did you recall previously? Why did you rush us out so suddenly?" Han Long was curious because Mo Wuji was previously not in a hurry but when he seemed to have thought of something, he suddenly insisted that they left as soon as possible. This made her extremely confused. Mo Wuji clasped his fist and said, "Many thanks to Dao Friend Han because if you didn¡¯t inform me that Zhuo Pingan would be needing a new Pill Emperor after settling down, I would have been taken away by Zhuo Pingan right now." Mo Wuji thought about this and let out a body of cold sweat. He had always neglected his own worth and that he was a Honoured Grade Tier 5 Pill King. It wouldn¡¯t be too difficult for a Honoured Grade Tier 5 Pill King to advance to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. The reason Han Long looked for him was also because she was certain that he could become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. If Zhuo Pingan was able to sustain the Cape of Peace single handedly and even act like an overlord here who even some Immortal Emperors dare not act against, how could he be a simple man? He wouldn¡¯t be able to attain what he had attained throughout the years if he didn¡¯t remember how useful Mo Wuji would be to him. Even Han Long was able to tell that Mo Wuji could become a Pill Emperor in the future so why would Zhuo Pingan not be able to do so? There was nothing much for Zhuo Pingan to do because all he needed to do was to capture Mo Wuji, throw him some Tier 7 immortal herbs to practice and after he became a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he would have him refine equipments. This was also why Mo Wuji had to thank Han Long because if Han Long had not told him about how Zhuo Pingan needed a Pill Emperor to concoct vitality pills, he would have no idea even when he was captured by Zhuo Pingan. Han Long also understood Mo Wuji¡¯s words and became slightly worried. If Mo Wuji was captured, her only hope would be dashed. Fortunately, Mo Wuji reacted fast. "Dao Friend Han, could you take the helm for me. I would like to make use of this time to analyse the concoction of Tier 7 immortal pills," After Mo Wuji knew that Zhuo Pingan wanted a Pill Emperor, he knew that this was his only lifeline. If he had no other ways, he would sit down for a chat with Zhuo Pingan. Since Mo Wuji wanted to advance into a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, Han Long would naturally not question or delay his progress as she instantly took over the helms. She had travelled through this path once or twice so she knew how to avoid demonic beasts along the way. ¡­ After returning to the cabin of the flying shuttle, Mo Wuji took out Wan Ping¡¯s storage ring. Mo Wuji managed to remove the seals on the ring in no time. Wan Ping¡¯s storage ring really didn¡¯t disappoint because there were over 5 millions high grade immortal crystals in it. Besides this, there was also a huge piles of immortal herbs and materials for forging equipments. As for the rest of the assorted pills and items, none of them caught Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. What caught Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes was a Seven Flowers Fire Heartstone lying within Wan Ping¡¯s storage ring. This was an absolutely priceless treasure which could evolve a flame into a Grade 7 Immortal Flame. At the thought of flames, Mo Wuji thought of the Scholar¡¯s Heart in his Undying World. Mo Wuji casually took out a few array flags and sent it straight to his Scholar¡¯s Heart. The Scholar¡¯s Heart was like a sleeping lotus as it was quietly suspended at the side of his Undying World. There was not much changes to red crystal that fell on the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Mo Wuji walked over and as he stretched out his hand, the Scholar¡¯s Heart landed on his hand. Mo Wuji could feel the terrifying temperature within the Scholar¡¯s Heart and he could a feeling that if he were to use this Scholar¡¯s Heart to fight against an Immortal Emperor, even the Immortal Emperor would be scrambling for his life. At the centre of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, seven crystal clear buds appeared. Could this already be a Grade 7 immortal flame? Mo Wuji was shocked. He quickly picked up the red crystal and noticed that there were still no changes to it. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air because he couldn¡¯t believe what he was witnessing. To allow his Scholar¡¯s Heart to become a Grade 7 Immortal flame without exhausting any part of its physical body, what heaven defying could this red crystal be? Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will seeped into the Scholar¡¯s heart and he soon found out what was happening. The Scholar¡¯s Heart advanced at an unbelievable pace and it needed to absorb the Law of Heaven and Earth from the outside as well as the spiritual energy to be able to continue advancing. Otherwise, this Scholar Heart would not only be advancing into a Grade 7 Immortal flame but of an even higher grade. He cautiously kept this unused red crystal as Mo Wuji was certain that this would not be any less valuable than a Xiantian treasure. Once he settled things here, he would find ways to find out more about this crystal. Since his Scholar¡¯s Heart had already advanced into a Grade 7 immortal flame, there was no longer any use for the Seven Flowers Fire Heartstone he got from Wan Ping¡¯s storage ring. Chapter 608: Wu Ben Husband and Wife Chapter 608: Wu Ben Husband and Wife Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji felt very satisfied looking at the 12 high grade Immortal Copious Pills. After reaching the Grand Yi Stage, Mo Wuji felt that he would be able to concoct high grade Immortal Copious Pill. Now that his Scholar¡¯s Heart had advanced into a Grade 7 immortal flame, everything he couldn¡¯t do in the past became simple to him just like how he expected it. The very first batch of pills he concocted was the 12 high grade Immortal Copious Pills. Given his understandings towards Pill Dao, it was certain that the future pills he concoct would not be any lower than high grade. Mo Wuji grabbed a bunch of immortal herbs once again as he prepared to concoct the second furnace of Immortal Copious Pills. A capable pill master would need at least a few hours to concoct a batch of Tier 6 immortal pills and the weaker ones might even need a few days to concoct the same batch. However, Mo Wuji only took one hour and the second batch of Immortal Copious Pills were fresh out from the furnace. It was not unexpected that it was a full furnace worth of 12 pills that were produced. This time round, the only difference would be that there were 4 unique grade Immortal Copious Pills within the 12 successfully concocted pills. For the third batch, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue concocting the Immortal Copious Pills but chose the Grand Luo Immortal Pills instead. The Grand Luo Immortal Pill was an extremely valuable Tier 6 immortal pill because it would increase the probability of advancing from a Grand Zhi Immortal to a Grand Luo Immortal. Whenever this pill went up on sale in any market, there would be intense auctions for it. Mo Wuji had more than enough materials needed to spend as freely as he wished for the concoction of the Grand Luo Immortal Pill. Even though the Grand Luo Immortal Pill was much harder to concoct than the Immortal Copious Pill, Mo Wuji managed to concoct a full batch of 12 Grand Luo Immortal Pills with six of them being unique grade on his third try. On the fourth attempt, Mo Wuji managed to concoct nine unique grade Grand Luo Immortal Pills and 11 unique grade Grand Luo Immortal Pills on his fifth try. Finally, Mo Wuji managed to concoct a full batch of unique pills on his sixth attempt. After Mo Wuji stopped concocting the Grand Luo Immortal Pills, he felt slightly emotional. Back when he was a Xuan Immortal, no matter how hard he tried, he could at most concoct low grade Grand Luo Immortal Pills. Today, he managed to use only six attempts to raise himself up to the standard of a Honoured Grade Tier 6 Immortal King. Mo Wuji was well aware that the reason why he couldn¡¯t concoct unique grade Tier 6 immortal pills previously was not because of insufficient knowledge of the Pill Dao but because of the restriction on his strength. Now that he had advanced to become a Grand Yi Immortal and his flame turned into a Grade 7 immortal flame, concocting the Tier 6 immortal pills became a matter of course. Mo Wuji cleaned the pill furnace but didn¡¯t start concocting Tier 7 immortal pills. Even though he had many Tier 7 immortal herbs on him, he didn¡¯t want to waste it. He wanted to reflect and summarise the gains and losses when concocting the Tier 6 immortal pills before starting the concoction of the Tier 7 immortal pills. The value of Tier 7 immortal herbs was definitely not comparable to Tier 6 immortal herbs. The reason why he would be able to obtain this many Tier 7 immortal herbs was because he took advantage of Kui Fengyun. Kui Fengyun¡¯s secret was exposed and found by Mo Wuji so all the immortal herbs ended up in Mo Wuji¡¯s bag. Mo Wuji believed that with his level of understanding of the Pill Dao and the amount of Tier 7 immortal herbs he had on him, advancing to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor would not be too difficult. In fact, he was certain that no other Tier 6 Pill King would be able to be as luxurious as he was when progressing to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor with a pile of Tier 7 immortal herbs readied for him. Other Pill Emperors would accumulate the experience by spending a lot of time while Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t afford that much time so he compensate with the vast amount of herbs he had. Three days later, Mo Wuji took out the first batch of Tier 7 immortal herbs as he intended to start by concocting the Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill. The Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill was neither the hardest nor the easiest Tier 7 Immortal pill to concoct. It might be a little too expensive for other pill refiners to practice with this pill but it was comparatively suitable for Mo Wuji. The Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill¡¯s main immortal herb was the Mourning Blood Rattan, a rattan which would let out a solution like blood when broken. Even though this was a considered to be a more expensive herb as compared to the other Tier 7 immortal herbs, the Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill concocted could be used to replenish a cultivator¡¯s blood essence. Because Mo Wuji found a sizeable amount of Mourning Blood Rattan in the Yunxian Immortal Valley, he decided to use this for practice. The reason why it was difficult to concoct high grade immortal pills was because of the difficulty in controlling the immortal medicinal properties of the immortal herbs. The higher the tier of the immortal herb, the harder it would be to control the properties which would mean an increased chance of failure. Mo Wuji¡¯s flame was a Grade 7 immortal flame but his pill furnace was only a Grade 6 immortal equipment and this would mean a greater difficulty in his concoction. Stalks of Tier 7 immortal herbs were sent into the pill furnace and under the flame of the Scholar¡¯s Heart, Mo Wuji managed to purify the essence skillfully. As for any other matters, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t dare to speak about it but when it came to purification of immortal herbs, he believed that no one would be more capable than he was. After just four hours, all the immortal herbs were completely purified by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he started to fuse the solution. Mo Wuji never found this step difficult and even though he had failed in his concoction plenty of times, he had never found a problem at this step. However, after just half an incense, the pill furnace let out a ¡®bang¡¯ as some of the immortal herb essence exploded within the furnace. If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in Immortal Physique Level 9, he would have been hurt. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath as he wasn¡¯t too surprised that he failed in his first concoction of the Tier 7 immortal pills. Instead, he was surprised at how he failed at the fusing stage. After cleaning up the pill furnace, Mo Wuji started to concoct the second batch of Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill. Just like the first batch, the solution exploded after about four hours. The third batch, fourth batch... After having nine batches of the Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill exploding, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but to stop his concoction. This was not an issue of experience because the nine consecutive batches failed during the fusion process. Only two batches made it through the fusion stage only to explode very shortly after. After consolidating his thoughts for half a month, Mo Wuji still could not find the reason. He had an intuition that there was no problem with his technique or experience but the same problem he faced when he was trying to breakthrough into a Tier 5 Pill King. The problem was because he was not in a higher cultivation realm that he was supposed to be to be a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. However, the difference was that even if his cultivation level was too low, he had to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor as soon as possible. If he were to wait for his cultivation level to become a Immortal King before becoming a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, that would take way too long. Just when Mo Wuji was preparing to try concocting other Tier 7 immortal pill, Han Long sent an urgent message that the flying shuttle was blocked. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will extended outwards immediately and realised that it was a man and woman who was obstructing his flying shuttle. Mo Wuji kept his pill furnace and landed right on the deck of his flying shuttle within one step. "It is the Wu Ben husband and wife. I doubt this will be anything good," The moment Mo Wuji came out, Han Long whispered to Mo Wuji. "Wu Ben husband and wife?" Mo Wuji replied in doubt because he had not heard of anything like that before. The man and woman standing in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s shuttle didn¡¯t look too old as the man¡¯s look was average with a black face. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know if this was because of his cultivation method or any other reasons. The woman looked gentle, pleasant and was slightly more good looking than Han Long too. Her skin was the complete opposite of the man as she was extremely fair. Her hands were very delicate as well and it could be considered to be perfect. Just based on her appearance, Mo Wuji believed that this woman was a very intellectual lady. Since the two of them were obstructing his flying shuttle coupled with Han Long¡¯s claim that they were some Wu Ben husband and wife, Mo Wuji knew that what he saw was only superficies. "So it was merely an ant," The black face man noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s appearance and his tone was filled with traces of ridicule. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t speak as he noticed that these two fellas were both in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. The man should be in the advanced Grand Luo Immortal Stage while the woman should be in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage already. Han Long continued to transmit a message to Mo Wuji, "The Wu Ben husband and wife was a couple who escaped to the Cape of Peace and eventually escaped to the Great Desolate Sea Domain. The man is called Kuang Benhou while the woman is called Gou Wuyu. These two were already numbed to killing as their livelihood in the Great Desolate Sea Domain were largely dependent on killing others. Moreover, they have a unique technique to escape as well as to detect danger. Others might consider themselves lucky to be able to survive 10 years in the Great Desolate Sea Domain but this couple had been here for over hundreds of years. Their cultivation level also improved from the Grand Zhi Stage to the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage as they continually became stronger. These two were much stronger than those of the same stage as them and they never go easy on anyone. Up till now, there was less than 10 people who managed to escape from their clutches. Because they were ruthless, vicious and earned quite a fair bit from what they were doing, they have earned the nickname of Wu Ben husband and wife because there were the word ¡®Wu¡¯ and ¡®Ben¡¯ in their names. More terrifyingly, their flying magic treasure was also a Grade 7 one so it would be extremely difficult for us to escape from them by our flying shuttle." While Han Long was transmitting the message to Mo Wuji, she had already decided to fight for her life here. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was definitely lower than them and even though she was also in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, she was definitely not as strong in combat as either of the couple. "Brother Ben, get them to leave their things behind before getting them to commit suicide. This way, we could at least let them die with a complete body," Gou Wuyu said. Her voice was so gentle as she spoke with a merciful tone that made others want to thank her for her kindness. Mo Wuji extended his arm and a grey saber appeared in his palm before turning to Han Long, "Since we are unable to avoid them, let¡¯s fight them. We will take one each and I shall deal with Gou Wuyu while you take on Kuang Benhou. Don¡¯t be anxious to win the battle because all you need to do is to hold him back." Han Long¡¯s cultivation level was similar to Gou Wuyu and was slightly higher than Kuang Benhou. Despite Han Long having a higher cultivation level than Kuang Benhou, Mo Wuji was well aware that she was still not a match for Kuang Benhou. As for Gou Wuyu, she was the terrifying one. Mo Wuji was unsure of Han Long¡¯s combat ability but according to his judgement, Mo Wuji believed that she had no chance of defeating Kuang Benhou. Therefore, he initiated to deal with that woman. "Ah¡­" Han Long heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and let out an ¡®ah¡¯ and before she could respond, Mo Wuji¡¯s saber had already been swung at Gou Wuyu. Gou Wuyu stared blankly at the incoming Mo Wuji and waited for the saber radiance to turn into tens of blade radiance before turning to Kuang Benhou, "Brother Ben, I finally know what is the meaning of the stupid being fearless. As for that Mo Wuji¡¯s attack, she appeared as if she didn¡¯t see it at all. "Hahaha¡­" Kuang Benhou laughed out loud, "Please don¡¯t forget my favourite part of the body to eat and not let too much of the spiritual energy seep out." Gou Wuyu chuckled and took a step out before appearing as if she was strolling through Mo Wuji¡¯s blade radiance. However, at this very moment, her expression changed drastically. Chapter 609: The Spatial Channel To Leave The Immortal World Chapter 609: The Spatial Channel To Leave The Immortal World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s ordinary looking blade radiance suddenly evolved into countless of blade radiances. These countless of blade radiance was so overwhelming that it looked like a great desert was about to sweep her in. Gou Wuyu was naturally not an idiot as she knew straightaway that Mo Wuji¡¯s desert attack was definitely a peak grade sacred art. Initially, Gou Wuyu didn¡¯t even regard Mo Wuji highly but now, she was anxious to draw out her own magic treasure which was a pink Mixed Gold Bucket. The moment the Mixed Gold Bucket was brought out, it acted like a massive mouth which was trying to swallow Mo Wuji¡¯s boundless desert. Just when she felt that her Mixed Gold Bucket was able to fend against Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert Blade, she saw a blade radiance hacking from the sky locked onto her forehead even before she could take a breather. A chilling sensation was felt throughout her body before letting out a sharp cry. She instantly took out a green coloured handkerchief as she spat out a mouthful of blood which was quickly spreaded across the handkerchief. Kuang Benhou, who was initially feeling disdainful of everything, saw that Gou Wuyu was struggling in her fight against Mo Wuji so he couldn¡¯t bear to continue watching without doing anything. In the next instance, he grabbed a handful of black sand before charging towards Mo Wuji. No matter how inexperienced Han Long was, she knew that she shouldn¡¯t let Kuang Benhou attack Mo Wuji while Mo Wuji was dealing with Gou Wuyu. In that same instance, she drew out her Remnant Lamp and blocked out Kuang Benhou. The light overspread and when it clashed against Kuang Benhou¡¯s black clouds of sand, there was yet another overwhelming explosion of immortal energy in the sky. Han Long¡¯s cultivation level was slightly higher than Kuang Benhou so even if Kuang Benhou didn¡¯t think highly of Han Long, he had no choice but to give up on the idea of attacking Mo Wuji and focus on Han Long. "Bang!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River was actually blocked out by the darker green coloured handkerchief while the pale Gou Wuyu was blown off tens of metres by the sheer force of the blade. Mo Wuji knew that this was not because his Winding River was incapable or because his cultivation level was not high enough but because his Winding River was far from being completed. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue to execute his Setting Sun because his Setting Sun was similar to his Wheel of Life and Death. Not only was it extremely powerful, it brought along some killing intent of the dao spirituality. The Setting Sun was one of his trump card and there wasn¡¯t a need to use his trump card at this moment. Moreover, his Winding River was still far from completion, let alone his Setting Sun which he had never executed properly. Despite not being able to kill off Gou Wuyu, Mo Wuji was strong enough for her to forget about taking advantage of him. At the instance Gou Wuyu¡¯s handkerchief managed to block off Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River, Mo Wuji took a step forward and released a punch. Ever since Mo Wuji started his attacks, Gou Wuyu had been on the receiving end with no power to retaliate at all. In other words, Mo Wuji had been attacking and she had been defending. It wasn¡¯t because there was a vast difference between Mo Wuji and Gou Wuyu¡¯s strength but because Gou Wuyu had looked down on Mo Wuji from the very beginning. In the end, Mo Wuji caught her by surprise so she could only defend herself all these while. Mo Wuji was too experienced in battles so why would he allow Gou Wuyu to regain her composure to fight back? After the Domain Crushing Fist, Mo Wuji executed a spatial imprisonment. To kill you while you are sick and weak. This was the mindset that Mo Wuji had throughout this fight so he would not go easy on her. Not only was Gou Wuyu¡¯s cultivation level much higher than Wan Ping, her strength and combat experience were something Wan Ping didn¡¯t have. If Gou Wuyu didn¡¯t underestimate Mo Wuji and allowed him to take the initiative to attack her with his stunning blade sacred art, Mo Wuji would have found it tough to gain the upperhand in this fight. After fending off two blade attacks from Mo Wuji, Gou Wuyu didn¡¯t loosen her muscles as she was well aware that Mo Wuji was incredibly as strong or even stronger than herself. What she experienced proved her point because Mo Wuji¡¯s domain brought along a whirlpool which was shockingly not restrained by her own domain. Furthermore, this was the first time she had seen a fist with a domain. Mo Wuji¡¯s fist brought along a fist domain which was capable of crushing her domain. At the moment her domain was split apart, the space around her started moving and she was trapped in that very instance. Gou Wuyu was astonished as she spat out a faint yellow radiance before screaming out, "Stop." She had already tried everything within her means and if Mo Wuji was still able to counter it, she could only suffer the force of his attack. If she didn¡¯t escape, she would simply be waiting for her death. The yellow radiance that Gou Wuyu spat out turned into a faintly discernible large net as it seemed to be wrapping around Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Crushing Fist. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Crushing Fist instantly broke this large net and under the explosion of the immortal energy, Gou Wuyu¡¯s outerwear was almost torn off. Mo Wuji stopped and in countless of battles, Mo Wuji had heard countless of people shouting ¡®stop¡¯. This was the first time, he actually complied with the opponent and stopped. This wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned soft but because he was clear that even if he didn¡¯t stop, he wouldn¡¯t be strong enough to kill Gou Wuyu. Since he was unable to kill her off and while the opponent shouted in desperation for him to stop, he shall turn this into a discussion. Therefore, after he stopped attacking, Mo Wuji¡¯s spatial imprisonment was still undulating around Gou Wuyu¡¯s body. This made Gou Wuyu extremely uncomfortable because even though she wasn¡¯t trapped in Mo Wuji¡¯s spatial imprisonment, the constant fluctuations of energy around her body was locked onto her and readied to trap her at any moment. Kuang Benhou and Han Long stopped fighting when they saw Mo Wuji holding back his attacks and Han Long landed right beside Mo Wuji. Just when Kuang Benhou was about to move towards Gou Wuyu, Mo Wuji shouted, "Kuang Benhou, if you dare move a single inch, I will make Gou Wuyu suffer. Try me if you dare because I am confident I can cleave one of her arm off." This was not a meaningless threaten because Mo Wuji was confident he would be able to do so if he were to use all his energy. Indeed, Kuang Benhou stopped when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s threaten because he didn¡¯t think that it was purely a scare. He was Gou Wuyu¡¯s husband for many years so he could sense that Gou Wuyu was clearly feeling very uncomfortable. If she hadn¡¯t fought against Mo Wuji, she would treat whatever Mo Wuji was saying as fart but now, she really didn¡¯t dare to move. She believed that Mo Wuji was truly capable of doing what he said and she had a feeling that there was more to Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River. This would mean that Mo Wuji had even more powerful sacred art which he had yet to execute. Additionally, Mo Wuji knew spatial imprisonment so once she was trapped, it wouldn¡¯t take more than half a breath worth of time to cleave off one of her arm. To her, she could recover her arm very quickly but the arm would never be comparable to her original arm. She didn¡¯t temper her physique so the damage to the fleshly body would be equivalent to the damage to her blood and dao spirituality. This was a crucial period of time for her as she was preparing to advance into the Immortal King Stage. Once she suffered damages to her fleshly body, how long more must she wait before being readied to advance once more? "What do you want?" Kuang Benhou controlled his anger as he said one word at a time. Mo Wuji replied faintly, "Since the two of you had been raiding people in the Great Desolate Sea Domain for so many years, I believe that you must have plenty of good items with you. Show me both of your storage ring for me to choose one or two items." "Haha¡­" Kuang Benhou laughed, "Does Your Excellency want to form a deadly feud with us? Fight me if you want to see the storage ring." Mo Wuji sneered in his heart because if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he couldn¡¯t kill these two fellas, he would have acted without spouting all these nonsense. As for the deadly feud, it was already formed when they obstructed his path and was finding trouble with him. Mo Wuji also knew that it would be impossible for him to get them to pass him their storage rings. Hence, he was thinking of a way to cleave off one of Gou Wuyu¡¯s arm at the instance she tried to escape. Gou Wuyu gave Mo Wuji a death stare and was sensing for any changes in the space around her. She didn¡¯t dare to move because she was worried that the second she moved, Mo Wuji would attack. She and her husband had never encountered a situation like today because they would always pick the correct target before acting and never failed once. However, this time round, they had actually misjudged their target. This was not because they were too careless but because Mo Wuji really looked too ordinary. Even though Mo Wuji was this close to hurting her, she still couldn¡¯t tell that how dangerous Mo Wuji actually was. In other words, even if this young man in front of her acted like a mortal, she wouldn¡¯t have her suspicion. Kuang Benhou grunted and threw three items in the air, "Choose either one of this three treasures." A Grade 6 Immortal equipment, Tier 7 Immortal Fruit and a Grade 7 ore. For a normal Grand Yi Immortal, this would be a peak grade item but to Mo Wuji, these were all thrash. Mo Wuji raised his hand and all three items were thrown away by him. That Immortal Fruit was destroyed into pieces while his killing intent surged. Mo Wuji decided to teach these two fellas a lesson. This was the first time Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to enter his whirlpool domain and the space started trembling wildly. Gou Wuyu cried out in pain, "Stop, I know of a spatial channel which could lead you out of the immortal domain¡­" Spatial channel to leave the immortal domain? Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent ceased. Kuang Benhou¡¯s face turned pale because he never expected this youth to be so arrogant that he treated the items he brought out as thrash. These three items might not be the best items he had with him but it should be considered to be valuable treasures to any other ordinary cultivators. "Say it, this would be your last chance as I would definitely not stop for the third time," Mo Wuji¡¯s said this as his spirit storage channel was already sketching the Wheel of Life and Death¡¯s imprint. Previously, Mo Wuji¡¯s Wheel of Life and Death was executed openly but he intended to use his spirit storage channel and elemental storage channel to execute the imprint this time round. The effectiveness of using this method would be significantly lowered but it should be more than enough to cleave off one of this woman¡¯s arm or leg. Even if he failed to kill her and he was hit with the after effect, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind. While others executed the Wheel of Life and Death, only one could live while the other had to die. For him, he had the vitality channel so even if his opponent didn¡¯t die, he wouldn¡¯t die either. On the surface, Mo Wuji appeared as though he had stopped his attack but the deathly energy around them surged tremendously. Even Han Long, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, could sense the deathly aura and took a few steps back subconsciously. The pale face Kuang Benhou looked even more awful as he could also feel the that energy even though he didn¡¯t see Mo Wuji doing anything. The one being targeted, Gou Wuyu, could feel it even more evidently as she said anxiously, "In the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain, there is a channel which could lead people out of the Immortal World. As to where it leads to, I am not very sure. This is a map which I made myself." As she spoke, Gou Wuyu threw a crystal ball to Mo Wuji. Ever since she started cultivation, she had never felt such clear deathly aura looming around her. Chapter 610: Scram, Lun Cai Chapter 610: Scram, Lun Cai Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan through it and a clear azimuth map of the Great Desolate Sea Domain appeared in his brain. Mo Wuji was impressed at this woman¡¯s self made azimuth crystal ball. After keeping the crystal ball, Mo Wuji retracted his spiritual will and said coldly, "Scram, don¡¯t fall into my hands in the future." The moment she sensed that her surrounding had eased up, Gou Wuyu fled instantly. Kuang Benhou saw that his wife had escaped to a safe place before heaving a sigh of relief and said in the same tone as Mo Wuji, "I want to say the same thing to you. Don¡¯t let us meet you again." Soon after, Kuang Benhou¡¯s body shifted and he hurried behind his wife into the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Han Long finally managed to catch her breath as she looked at Mo Wuji with a newfound respect and admiration. When she first travelled with Mo Wuji, she felt that Mo Wuji was much weaker than her and according to her sources, Mo Wuji was only a Xuan Immortal. Now, she realised that Mo Wuji was definitely not a Xuan Immortal but a Grand Yi Immortal whose strength was not any weaker than a Grand Luo Immortal. Even so, not every Grand Luo Immortal was able to restrain Gou Wuyu back or at least, Han Long herself was not able to do so. "Let me take the helm and we shall head towards the place you mentioned," After receiving Gou Wuyu¡¯s positioning ball, he was feeling very satisfied. Since he was unable to concoct Tier 7 immortal pills, he would not force himself at this moment. With this positioning ball, if he couldn¡¯t defeat or had nowhere to go, he would leave the Immortal World immediately. His only concern would be Cen Shuyin as he wondered how was Cen Shuyin coping now. "Dao Friend Han, the Moon Seeking Mountain of the Devil Moon Immortal School had been razed so did you know about the whereabouts of Lin Gu? The one who invited me to treat her mother," At the thought of Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but to ask. Han Long knew that Mo Wuji was friends with Lin Gu and she wouldn¡¯t even be surprised if there was something between them. Therefore, when Mo Wuji asked about Lin Gu, it wasn¡¯t much to her surprise, "I am not sure about Lin Gu but Lin Gu¡¯s mother, Shi Gulan, managed to escape with severe injuries with the help of Elder Gu of the Devil Moon Immortal School. Hearing that Shi Gulan managed to escape, his heart felt lighter. Since Lin Gu was Shi Gulan¡¯s daughter, she wouldn¡¯t have neglected her if she managed to escape out alive. ¡­ The Cape of Peace had been welcoming countless of experts and all of these experts had been asking about the whereabouts of Mo Wuji. There were even two Immortal Emperors who came looking for Mo Wuji. However, now that Mo Wuji was not in the Cape of Peace, even these Immortal Emperors were helpless. Today, an extremely unordinary person had came to the Cape of Peace. He was a skinny and tall man wearing a black and white immortal robe. This man was already tall but when there was an extra crown on his head, he looked extremely outstanding even from far away. This was not the most eye-catching part about him because he had a pair of triangular eyes. This triangular eyes were far too distinct for one to miss it. No matter who it was, everyone who saw this man bowed respectfully towards him. Even though this man didn¡¯t even take a look at those who bowed and greeted him, no one dared to do otherwise. Everyone was aware of who this man was because he was Grand Emperor Lun Cai of the Unfettered Emperor Palace. If someone were to pick out ten most eccentric experts of the Immortal World, Lun Cai would definitely be one of them. If someone were to pick out the top five, Lun Cai would still be within the rankings. This man¡¯s cultivation level was extremely high and he does things based on his mood. When he got angry, his anger might even result in the deaths of many innocent people. He could ignore you even when you greet him but if you choose not to greet him and angered him, he would slap you into ashes with one hand. Moreover, nobody dared to offend his Unfettered Emperor Palace. He was the only one who could offend others and not the other way round. In other words, those who offended him would no longer be in this world. Even though Emperor Luncai was rude and arrogant, he wasn¡¯t an idiot to know that he was in the territory of the Cape of Peace. This was why after he entered the Cape of Peace, he took the initiative to contribute 100,000 immortal crystals. In the Cape of Peace, any personnel above the ranks of a Immortal King would have to contribute 100,000 immortal crystals. Contributing the immortal crystals didn¡¯t mean that this fella would be a law-abiding person. The moment he set foot on the Cape of Peace, his immortal energy was agitated as he shouted, "Those who can tell me the whereabouts of Mo Wuji would be rewarded handsomely by me. If someone knew about Mo Wuji but choose not to tell me, if I were to find out, you would not have a second life¡­" "Ah¡­" The moment Grand Emperor Lun Cai finished his piece, a sarcastic voice could be heard, "Lun Cai, this is not your Unfettered Emperor Palace so you shouldn¡¯t act so arrogant here. Scram." Scram? It had been way too many years since Lun Cai heard someone asking him to scram. Immense killing intent shrouded his body and a few weaker cultivators who were greeting him died on the spot. The remaining cultivators scrambled to get away from him because no matter would be able to handle the wrath of Grand Emperor Lun Cai. If this old fella actually extended his domain, everyone caught within his domain would definitely be wiped out. "Zhuo Pingan, do you really think that because we are in the Cape of Peace, I, Lun Cai, wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything?" Lun Cai¡¯s killing intent extended outwards and the energy destroyed a few neighbourhood shophouses instantly. Under this immense killing energy, tens of innocent cultivators lost their life just like that. This killing intent was blocked immediately as a similarly terrifying energy surged from the depths of the Cape of Peace and then an ordinary looking fan was waving in front of Lun Cai. Lun Cai¡¯s Immortal Emperor Domain was actually tearing apart by this fan and a pale face scholar walked out. He had no killing intent around his body and while Lun Cai¡¯s killing intent was approaching him, he managed to disperse it when it came close to him. This pale face scholar looking man was indeed the ruler of the Cape of Peace, Zhuo Pingan. A warning alarm rang in the head of every cultivator in the Cape of Peace as if even the space around them was about to collapse. Lun Cai looked even more imposing than ever as he reached out his arm to grab a ten feet long red pole that was as wide an as arm. Zhuo Pingan looked just as serious as he knew that this wasn¡¯t an ordinary red pole but Lun Cai¡¯s famous magic treasure, the Blazing Babel Pillar. If he were to allow this Blazing Babel Pillar to let loose in his Cape of Peace, there wouldn¡¯t be a point even if he were to make Lun Cai retreat. Therefore, before Lun Cai could swing his Blazing Babel Pillar, Zhuo Pingan¡¯s foldable fan opened up. A seemingly lifeless grey world enveloped the entire space around them and Lun Cai seemed to have been brought out of the Immortal World, into this world that Zhuo Pingan brought out. Lun Cai grunted coldly as his Blazing Babel Pillar skyrocketed abruptly in an attempt to destroy Zhuo Pingan¡¯s grey world. Zhuo Pingan wouldn¡¯t let Lun Cai have his way as his grey world instantly wrapped around the Blazing Babel Pillar to prevent the flame from the pillar to burst apart. Concurrently, some grey colour pierced through Lun Cai¡¯s domain and banged against Lun Cai¡¯s chest. It was as if his immortal domain was smashed apart as Lun Cai¡¯s face turned pale before spitting a mouthful of fresh blood. Following which, Lun Cai couldn¡¯t be bothered about executing his attack with his Blazing Babel Pillar as he retreated instantaneously. After half a breath later, he returned to a place which was miles away from the Cape of Peace. "Zhuo Pingan, I will remember your plot against me today," Lun Cai¡¯s cold voice could be heard even from the western sea. Zhuo Pingan couldn¡¯t be bothered with Lun Cai as he walked back instead of going after him. He forcefully swallowed some blood because in the short clash with Lun Cai earlier on, he looked like he won a beautiful battle but the truth was that he didn¡¯t have the upper hand. He didn¡¯t chase after Lun Cai because he knew that Lun Cai would not come after him too. Any other person who dared to kill and destroy people and buildings in his Cape of Peace, he would never let them go no matter how far they escaped. However, there was nothing Zhuo Pingan could do against Lun Cai. An earth shattering battle between two great forces ended in a jiffy. Even though the battle ended, the topic it left behind became a topic for conversation in the Cape of Peace. It was an honourable experience to be able to witness the fight of two Immortal Emperors and who would honestly care about the tens of cultivators who had been killed? ¡­ "This is it," In the Great Desolate Sea Domain, Han Long indicated for Mo Wuji to stop the flying shuttle and pointed to a place. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan that place and even the sea domain underneath his feet only to look suspiciously at Han Long, "Dao Friend Han, are you wasting my time? There are nothing here." There was indeed nothing around here with neither hidden arrays nor island reefs. After saying this, Mo Wuji appeared to have thought of something as he condensed his spiritual eye immediately. With the aid of his spiritual eye, a faint shadow appeared. "Hold on¡­" Han Long didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji had already noticed something odd with his spiritual eye but after she told Mo Wuji to hold on, she raised her hand to cut herself. Following which, she brought her bloodstains to sprinkle in the space in front of them before using her light to shine at where the bloodstain was. There was initially nothing there but a pitch black spatial whirlpool suddenly appeared in front of them. Han Long turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Pill Master Mo, follow me in quickly. The first space that I open would be the biggest and I might not be able to do the same once it closes," With that said, Han Long jumped into the whirlpool. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he kept his flying shuttle and jumped right in too. The two of them landed on solid ground and they couldn¡¯t see the Great Desolate Sea Domain anymore. Both of them were standing on a black stone with radius of about less than 10 feet and behind the rock, there was a faint ripple. Mo Wuji predicted that this ripple would be the way out. Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye once more and he really did see a long pathway in front of this rock. There seemed to be a puppet standing right at the end of the pathway. "Wait for me to sprinkle some more blood, a pathway will appear here. Afterwards, we would follow the path and we would meet a Puppet Beast. Behind the puppet would be a massive array and we would be able to tell that there are still immortal herbs in it," Han Long finished her piece and was prepared to release more of her blood. Mo Wuji stopped Han Long¡¯s action and said, "Dao Friend Han, hold on and let me try." Chapter 611: Han Clan Ruins Chapter 611: Han Clan Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he tried to imitate what Han Long did: raising his hand and slitting his wrist. Thereafter, he dropped his blood on the space in front of them. However, nothing happened. Mo Wuji said puzzledly, "Don¡¯t tell me we have to attack it?" Han Long hurriedly waved his hand, "No need. There¡¯s no need to attack anything. Let me do it." With that, Han Long sprinkled some fresh blood. Indeed, it was just as she said; a pathway appeared in front of them. It was exactly the same pathway that Mo Wuji saw with his spiritual will. "Dao Friend Han, are you of some ancient bloodline?" Mo Wuji looked at Han Long with a bemused expression on his face. Han Long hurriedly waved her hand, "No. The reason why I¡¯m able to cultivate to this stage has nothing to do with bloodline, but my own hardwork." Even though Mo Wuji was still quite confused, he didn¡¯t continue asking. The two of them followed along the path to the end, there, they saw an immortal puppet. It was clearly deficient in spiritual energy as it didn¡¯t even move after a long time. Behind the immortal puppet, there was indeed the faint outline of an immortal herb garden. "I know a bit about arrays. If the two of us join forces, we would need three years at the most to open this concealment array," Han Long pointed to the array behind the immortal puppet and said. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "There¡¯s no need to worry about the array for now. Let me research on this immortal puppet first." This immortal puppet looked extremely ugly [1]. Clearly, the person who forged this puppet didn¡¯t put much effort into it. Logically, if that was the case, the grade of the puppet shouldn¡¯t be too high. However, Mo Wuji could feel an intensely strong energy from within this immortal puppet. As he stood in front of this puppet, he felt like nothing more than an ant. A puppet that couldn¡¯t move could actually evoke such an extraordinary feeling. It was indeed quite peculiar. Mo Wuji condensed some immortal spiritual energy and struck it against that immortal puppet. That immortal puppet seemed to have been enraged as its stagnant arms suddenly sped up and it actually attacked Mo Wuji. Before Mo Wuji could even react, he felt an intense force looming towards him. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even able to resist as this force struck heavily on his chest. He instantly coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood as he was sent flying backwards, crashing against the path. "You can¡¯t touch the immortal puppet. Even though it doesn¡¯t have enough spiritual energy, its ability to counterattack is very strong. I suffered under it once before." Seeing Mo Wuji attack that puppet, Han Long cried out anxiously. Mo Wuji sat on the ground. He waved his hand towards Han Long, indicating for her to stop talking. He tried to recall that immortal puppet¡¯s attack; that attack contained an indescribable dao energy. Even though it seemed very simple, that move actually contained some great heavenly dao. It gave the impression of complexity within simplicity. That move seemed to grab the entire space between them, and smashed it against him. At this instant, a new insight appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. This was the kind of power than only Immortal Kings and above could demonstrate; it borrowed the power of the heavenly daos, and with a simple gesture, it created supreme might. In Mo Wuji¡¯s path of cultivation, he had created his own technique and skills; with this attack from this puppet, he was able to grasp that dao energy from within. This dao energy continuously circulated within Mo Wuji¡¯s dao revelation channel, and thereafter, it become Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding towards the Dao. By the side, Han Long could also feel that Mo Wuji was in a state of understanding. She didn¡¯t say another word and waited silently by the side. Multiple days later, Mo Wuji suddenly stood up. He uttered a long sigh and muttered to himself, "I understand." He did understand; he understood why he was unable to concoct Tier 7 pills. It was because Tier 7 pills were meant for Grand Luo Immortals to advance to become Immortal Kings; such pills must contain a heavenly dao, or the dao energy from an Immortal King or above. He was just a Grand Yi Immortal and he hadn¡¯t made any contact with such a dao energy. It would be weird if he was able to concoct Tier 7 immortal pills. This wasn¡¯t related to his current standards with the Pill Dao. But now, he had glimpsed upon on such a heavenly dao, and he continued to ruminate on this bit of insight with his dao revelation channel. Mo Wuji believed that he would finally be able to concoct Tier 7 pills at the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. This time, his trip was not in vain; just this insight alone made Mo Wuji feel that this trip had been very worthwhile. "This puppet is not bad. I hope to keep it." Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes turned away from the puppet and onto Han Long. Han Long smiled, "I don¡¯t have any interest in this puppet. Since Pill Master Mo wants it, then feel free to take it." Han Long was only interested in advancing and becoming an Immortal King, so she really didn¡¯t have any interest in this presumably Grade 7 immortal puppet. Moreover, this puppet was extremely ugly; as a girl, she did prefer beautiful things. Whether it was a beast, or a puppet, she wanted one that was cute. "Many thanks Dao Friend Han. After I refine this immortal puppet, we can break this array." Mo Wuji hurriedly expressed his gratitude. In his eyes, this puppet definitely wasn¡¯t as simple as being only Grade 7; Mo Wuji suspected that this puppet was at least at the pinnacle of Grade 8, or even Grade 9. As long as he didn¡¯t attack this puppet, the puppet wouldn¡¯t counterattack. Mo Wuji approached this puppet and his spiritual will was easily able to pentrate in. When Mo Wuji felt the boundless runes and enigmatic seals within the immortal puppet, he came to realise that his scant of array knowledge was truly not worth mentioning. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even understand many of the runes, much less to be learnt about them. Fortunately, he was only refining this puppet and he didn¡¯t need to learn about these arrays. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will from both his spirit storage channel and his sea of consciousness landed on this immortal puppet. He soon began to forget where he even was. If not for his elemental storage channels, anyone could easily assassinate him. The moment Mo Wuji started refining this puppet, Han Long sighed. She knew that Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t awaken for quite some time. With her Array Dao standards, it was basically impossible for her to break this array alone. As she thought of this, she decided to train and condense her immortal elemental energy. Time passed like that. In the blink of an eye, a year passed. On this day, the puppet emitted an ear-piercing shrill. The closed eyed Han Long immediately opened her eyes and she discovered that Mo Wuji was already standing up, carressing this child sized immortal puppet with a brilliant smile on his face. "Pill Master Mo, you¡¯ve already refined this immortal puppet?" Han Long only needed a single glance at Mo Wuji¡¯s expression to know that he had succeeded. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, thanks for bringing me here and even acting as my defender. This immortal puppet is very useful to me." "What grade is this immortal puppet?" Han Long couldn¡¯t quell her curiosity. Mo Wuji contemplated, but he still shook his head, "It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to tell you, but I don¡¯t really know what grade this immortal puppet is. I feel that this puppet should at least be Grade 9, but unfortunately, I¡¯ve never seen an Immortal Emperor fight before, so I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the gap between this puppet and an Immortal Emperor. However, this immortal puppet doesn¡¯t seem to be powered by immortal crystals." "Ah¡­" As she continued to hear about the puppet, Han Long¡¯s expression turned from shock to muddlement. She looked at Mo Wuji in confusion; if this immortal puppet didn¡¯t use immortal crystals, then what did it use? Mo Wuji did not lie to Han Long, "I can faintly feel that its powered by a crystal that is at an even higher grade than an immortal crystals. Even though the grade of this immortal puppet isn¡¯t low, I¡¯m not able to display its full power." As he said this, Mo Wuji felt deep regret. "Perhaps we¡¯ll find that crystal inside. Let¡¯s work together to open this concealment array." Han Long pointed at the array behind the immortal puppet. "I¡¯m enough to deal with this array. Actually, the first step here was to refine this immortal puppet, then we would naturally be able to open this array." Mo Wuji explained. After refining this immortal puppet, he already came to understand this array. Actually, before he refined this puppet, Mo Wuji already knew how to open this array. However, he would need to use his spiritual eye. But now, he didn¡¯t even need to use his spiritual eye. With just ten array flags, and less than ten breaths of time, this array was opened. Han Long never expected that the array she thought would require a few years to break, would now be casually opened by Mo Wuji. Before she could even sigh in praise, she was stunned still be the statue that appeared before her. This statue actually looked similar to her, especially the eyes and the nose. That was not the main point, the main point was that she recognised this statue. This statue actually had a 90% resemblance to her Han Clan ancestor, Han Yi. Her Han Clan ancestor, Han Yi, was the number one person in the entire Planet High Hope. It was because of this Han Yi, that the Han Clan¡¯s name spread throughout Planet High Hope and in the countless of years, no one dared to lay hands on the Han Clan. Mo Wuji also noticed that this statue looked similar to Han Long. His spiritual will then turned towards the jade letter in the statue¡¯s hand. The jade letter wasn¡¯t sealed so Mo Wuji was easily able to see the contents, "Since you¡¯re able to come here, it must mean that you are related to the Han Clan. My name is Han Yi, I came from Planet High Hope¡¯s Han Clan. In the Very High Heavens, I was plotted against by Hu Chisheng and I fled to the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Hu Chisheng is extremely powerful, so no matter who obtains this storage ring, you must not seek revenge for me. That immortal puppet isn¡¯t from the Immortal World, nor is it from the Very High Heavens. I managed to obtain it by chance, and in the ring, there¡¯s six crystals which can power the puppet, use them frugally. The ring requires blood to be refined, otherwise, it would be destroyed." Han Long had already picked up the jade letter and her spiritual will soon saw the contents within. "Pa!" The jade letter fell onto the floor. No wonder why she had never been able to find her ancestor Han Yi. It turns out that her ancestor had already perished in the Great Desolate Sea Domain. There was also no wonder why she seemed to feel some calling when she passed by this array. So this was a place prepared by her Han Clan ancestor. Mo Wuji also came to an understanding; this was the ruins of a Han Clan ancestor. The reason why Han Long could enter this place wasn¡¯t because of some ancient bloodline, but because of the Han blood that flowed within her. From the looks of it, that puppet that he obtained was Han Long¡¯s. This left Mo Wuji slightly disappointed. However, he was soon able to cast this disappointment aside. Even without the puppet, he could negotiate with Zhuo Pingan. He did not believe that there was no place in the Immortal World that he couldn¡¯t run to. After some time, Han Long walked to the ring agitatedly. She dripped a drop of blood on it and that ring landed in her hand. That ring disappeared. Then the statue crumbled. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say a word. There were indeed immortal herbs here but they were all withered. From outside the array previously, that Emperor Dao Fruit looked normal but when Mo Wuji entered, he could feel that there wasn¡¯t any sort of immortal spiritual energy or dao energy within it. Chapter 612: The Tragic Tian Ji Sect Disciples Chapter 612: The Tragic Tian Ji Sect Disciples Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Han Long looked at the crumbled statue in a daze. She only regained her countenance after some time. She carefully placed the crushed stones into her storage ring then she turned to Mo Wuji and said apologetically, "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯m truly sorry. I thought that this place was an immortal herb garden that even contained the Emperor Dao Fruit. I didn¡¯t expect that it was the resting place of my Han Clan ancestor." Mo Wuji hurriedly waved his hand, "It¡¯s okay. I have many Tier 7 immortal herbs which are already enough for me to advance and become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. Whether there are immortal herbs here doesn¡¯t really make a big impact on me." With that, Mo Wuji waved his hand again and brought that immortal puppet out, "Dao Friend Han, since this is left behind by your Han Clan ancestor, then you should keep it." Han Long shook her head, "No. Since I obtained my ancestor¡¯s ruins, these items are mine. I have already agreed to give it to you. Moreover, I¡¯m even asking Pill Master Mo to concoct pills for me¡­" When Han Long got here, she suddenly stopped. She retrieved five green crystals and handed them to Mo Wuji and said, "Pill Master Mo, my ancestor left eight of these crystals. There should be used to fuel the puppet. I¡¯m keeping three and I will five to you." If not for the fact that he had far too many enemies, Mo Wuji would definitely have rejected it. This was equivalent to receiving gifts from Han Long for free. But now, he really couldn¡¯t reject the crystals. He accepted the five crystals and was about to express his thanks. However, the moment those crystals landed in his paln, the pure immortal spiritual energy left him stunned. This thing was not only more concentrated in spiritual energy than high grade immortal crystals, it seemed to be at an even higher grade than his immortal essence crystals. It didn¡¯t merely contain immortal spiritual energy; there was even a sort of dao energy. This was definitely some good stuff. Mo Wuji carefully took a jade box out and stored the five crystals. Then, he took out a Seven Flower Fire Heartstone and handed it to Han Long and said, "Dao Friend Han, I really obtained a lot this time because of you. In the future, if you need my help, I definitely won¡¯t reject you. I¡¯m giving this Seven Flower Heartstone to you; I no longer need it." No matter what, he really owed Han Long a considerable debt of favour. Han Long accepted the Fire Heartstone and laughed, "We¡¯re already considered friends. In the future, we should mutually help one another. However, Pill Master Mo, we shouldn¡¯t return to the Cape of Peace now. Let¡¯s find someplace and enter seclusion. I will wait for you to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor." Mo Wuji smiled proudly, "There¡¯s no need to find some other place, here is enough. I have confidence that I will become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor in half a year. Moreover, it¡¯s not necessary that we don¡¯t return to the Cape of Peace. That immortal puppet definitely isn¡¯t weaker than Lun Cai." Han Long directly ignored the last part of Mo Wuji¡¯s words. She asked in pleasant surprise, "Pill Master Mo, you¡¯re saying that you can concoct the Draining Immortal King Pills in half a year?" No one could understand Han Long¡¯s desire for the Draining Immortal King Pill. "That¡¯s right. I¡¯m sure that I will definitely be able to concoct the Drainining Immortal King Pill in half a year." To sooth Han Long¡¯s heart, Mo Wuji continued speaking in a voice of certainty. In reality, after he gained enlightenment on the foundations of a Tier 7 immortal pill, he did have that much certainty and confidence. "Alright, we¡¯ll enter closed doors here," Han Long said promptly. Her wish to advance to the Immortal King Stage was always hanging on her heart. Mo Wuji retrieved some array flags and started to install an array. He was going to stay here to continue trying to concoct Tier 7 immortal pills. Previously, he felt a sort of heavenly dao from that puppet; it was extremely useful to his understanding of concocting Tier 7 immortal pills. During this closed doors session, organising his understanding and thoughts was his utmost priority. ¡­ Ding Po Immortal City. One of the number cities in Luo Ling Immortal Domain. At this instant tall bare-footed man with golden hair was walking into the immortal city. The moment this man appeared, he immediately caught the attention of the crowd. The reason why people were looking at him wasn¡¯t because of his bare foot or his golden hair, but because of the spear that he carried on his shoulder. There wasn¡¯t anything special about the spear; what was unique was the people the hanging on the spear. That¡¯s right, there were people hung on the spear. It was not just one person, but four people. The four people were naked; not even a single shred of skin could be seen in their entire bodies. Their entire bodies were dipping with blood. What caused people¡¯s hearts to turn cold was that the four people were impaled through their collarbones, and their heads were drooping on the spear. As the bare-footed man walked into the immortal city, a trail of blood could be seen behind him. It was unknown whether the four on his spear were dead or alive. "How cruel¡­" A cultivator muttered softly outside the city gates. However, before his words could fully form, his companion hurriedly pulled him away and scolded him in a hushed voice, "Feng Yi, are you tired of living? Do you know what that is? That¡¯s the Great Sword Path Immortal Reverent Sa Jian¡¯s direct disciple, Ni Ju. In Sa Jian¡¯s Honorable Sword School, he¡¯s status is only second to Huang Sha. The four people hanging on his spear should be the survivors from Tian Ji Sect." "Ah¡­" When he heard that this person was Great Sword Path Sa Jian¡¯s disciple, that cultivator exclaimed in fear. At the same time, in another corner outside the city gate, a veiled woman¡¯s entire body was trembling. Tears was staining the veil on her face. Beside this woman, there was a thin looking youth. When he saw the situation, he whispered, "Senior Sister Su, what do we do now?" That veiled woman anxiously pulled the thin youth and the two swiftly walked off. Only when they were far from Ding Po Immortal City, that woman said in a sobbing tone, "The people impaled on Ni Ju¡¯s spear are all my fellow disciples of Tian Ji Sect. That person is truly too cruel. It¡¯s not bad enough that he¡¯s killing the disciples of Tian Ji Sect, but he even used such vicious methods¡­" "That beast. Unfortunately, big brother is not around. If big brother was here, he would definitely take revenge." That thin youth clenched his fists tightly and scolded. These two were exactly Dou Hualong and Su Rou¡¯Er. When Grand Emperor Lun Cai sent people to destroy Mo Wuji¡¯s Tian Ji Pill Court, the two of them coincidentally weren¡¯t around. When Tian Ji Pill Court¡¯s array was still blocking the other party, Yi Lan hurriedly sent them a message, allowing them to preserve their lives. However, Yi Lan, Bian Huiyu, as well as two Tian Ji Sect disciples that they saved, were killed. Because Mo Wuji left behind large amounts of pills and cultivation resources in Tian Ji Sect, Dou Hualong is already at the early Golden Immortal Stage, while Su Rou¡¯Er had just advanced into the Xuan Immortal Stage. After Dou Hualong uttered that sentence, he recalled the rumours that Mo Wuji had already died, and he sighed. He didn¡¯t continue speaking any further. Previously, he was a useless oddjob, but because he got to know Brother Mo, he was able to get to where he was today. Su Rou¡¯Er also turned silent; the two of them didn¡¯t know where they should go. The Immortal World was so big but they realised that they didn¡¯t have any place that they could take refuge in. "Senior Sister Su, I heard that Brother Mo is from Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Why don¡¯t we go there." Dou Hualong said after some time. His anger had already faded, grief took its place. Before Su Rou¡¯Er could respond, they heard two cultivators discussing loudly not far from them. "Grand Emperor Lun Cai really fought with Grand Emperor Pingan?" "That¡¯s definitely true, one of my friends witness it personally. The power from their battle seemed to be able to turn the entire Cape of Peace into a wasted ruins. If not for Grand Emperor Pingan having a sacred art that was no weaker than Grand Emperor Lun Cai, then there might no longer be a Cape of Peace." "Has Lun Cai gone mad? He actually went to offend Grand Emperor Pingan? Doesn¡¯t he know that Grand Emperor Pingan is an expert that shouldn¡¯t be offended?" "I heard that Mo Wuji took refuge in the Cape of Peace. Thereafter, Lun Cai tried to find Mo Wuji, and ended up angering Grand Emperor Pingan¡­" As the two talked, they had already walked into the distance. However, Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong stopped. They had just received some important news: Mo Wuji was in the Cape of Peace. "Senior Sister Su, why don¡¯t we go over to the Cape of Peace to look for big brother." When he heard that Mo Wuji was alive, a hint of spirit appeared within Dou Hualong¡¯s eyes. In his eyes, Mo Wuji was a god-like existence that no one else could compare to. When Su Rou¡¯Er heard that Mo Wuji was alive, she also seemed to have a new sense of direction. She calmed down and after a brief moment of contemplation, she said seriously, "I heard of the Cape of Peace before. Without a large amount of immortal crystals, you won¡¯t be able to enter that place. With the immortal crystals that both of us have combined, we might not even be able to enter the shores of the Cape of Peace. Moreover, since Brother Mo is in the Cape of Peace, we would only be causing him trouble. With Brother Mo¡¯s character, he definitely wouldn¡¯t let things go now that such unfortunate things happened to him. I think, we should search for a remote place to cultivate and wait for more news about Brother Mo." "Senior Sister Su, I¡¯ll listen to you. Where should we go?" Dou Hualong didn¡¯t have much opinions of his own. Now that Su Rou¡¯Er had brought up such a logical argument, he would naturally agree with it. "I hear that Water Ying Immortal City had gotten a lot of benefits from Brother Mo. Why don¡¯t we hide in Water Ying Immortal City," Su Rou¡¯Er answered. ¡­ Mo Wuji, who had been behind closed doors for two months, was now concocting a batch of Trio Revolving Blood Solitary Pill. Initially, he wanted to integrate that puppet¡¯s heavenly dao with his own Pill Dao. However, after practising and trying for two months, Mo Wuji came to a conclusion: he wasn¡¯t able to do it. Firstly, he wasn¡¯t able to do it. Secondly, that heavenly dao was diametrically opposite with the dao that he was cultivating. It was like walking in the opposite direction. On theory, even if one walked in opposite direction, as long as he continued to persevere, he would still be able to reach his destination eventually, albeit he would have to spend much effort and time. For instance, if you want to get from your front door to your back door, you only need to cross the distance of your living room. But if you choose to take the other way, you would still be able to get to your back door. It¡¯s just that instead of the distance of a living room, you would be crossing the distance of the entire planet. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have the effort to cross the distance of the entire planet. He was going to use his own Great Dao and insert it into the pill and concoct a Tier 7 immprtal pill. His Great Dao was about turning the mortal into an immortal. If he treated these immortal herbs as ordinary items, then with his own Pill Dao, as well as his own Great Dao, he would turn these ordinary objects into unordinary ones. Chapter 613: Tier 7 Pill Emperor Chapter 613: Tier 7 Pill Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Purifying the immortal herbs, removing the impurities, extracting the essence, separating the essence¡­ Mo Wuji wholehearted placed all his effort into this batch pills, up till four hours later when Mo Wuji was hauling the pills, a muffled explosion came from his pill furnace. Another failure. Mo Wuji regained his countenance, but he wasn¡¯t half a bit disappointed. Previously, he had tried concocting many Tier 7 pills, spending 100 over Tier 7 immortal herbs in the process. However, he had never had a batch of pills that could reach the pill hauling stage. But now, right when he understood what a Tier 7 pill needed the most, his first batch of pills reached that stage. Clearly, his conjecture was right; a Tier 7 pill did indeed need to contain some heavenly dao energy. If it was some pill refiner that had yet to advance to the Immortal King Stage, they would probably have given up when they knew of that. After all, to insert the heavenly dao energy of Immortal Kings and above into the pill required one¡¯s cultivation to be of a certain level. Moreover, knowing was one thing and being able to do it was another. There was no need to talk about how cultivators below the Immortal King Stage might not understand, or even have any contact with an Immortal King Dao, even if they knew about it, they would require large amounts of Tier 7 immortal herbs to practice on. Not everyone had so many Tier 7 immortal herbs like Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t give up. Even without spiritual roots, he was still able to cultivate and he even reached the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. How could he be fazed by the difficulty of concocting a Tier 7 immortal pill? Moreover, the Immortal King Dao that others understand might not necessarily be more profound than his own Dao. His Dao was making the mortal, immortal; turning the impossible, possible. Second batch, Trio Revolution Solitary Blood Pill: pill hauling - fail! Third batch, Trio Revolution Solitary Blood Pill: spirit condensing - fail! Fourth batch, Trio Revolution Solitary Blood Pill: pill retrieval - fail! Fifth batch, Green Bodhi Pill: pill retrieval - fail! ¡­ 17th batch, Wind Scar Blood Pill: pill retrieval - fail! ¡­ 29th batch, Green Bodhi Pill: pill retrieval... Success! At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was covered in pill dust. However, all his attention was on the pills in his hand. As he looked at the four immortal pills in his hand, Mo Wuji was incomparably excited. Over the past few months, he had never stopped concocting pills. After every failure since his third batch, he would stop to ruminate for a day, or even several days. After understanding where he went wrong, he began to work on his next batch of pills. The reason why he concocted 29 batches of immortal pills at one go was because after every batch he attempted, he would always have an improvement. Even though the improvements were very minute, Mo Wuji continued practising. Fortunately, he had large amounts of Tier 7 immortal herbs which was sufficient for him to spend extravagantly. Originally, Mo Wuji intended to use 50 batches of herbs, but he never expected that he would be successful in concocting four Tier 7 immortal pills on his 29th attempt. Even though the four pills were low grade Tier 7 immortal pills, to Mo Wuji, it was a huge success. Over these 29 batches, he tried four to five different kinds of pills but he still managed to succeed. After half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji kept the four Tier 7 immortal pills. A full batch of Tier 7 pills was six pills. Even though Mo Wuji managed to concoct four low grade pills, it did not mean that he was a true Tier 7 Immortal Pill Emperor. After cleaning himself up, Mo Wuji went into seclusion and contemplated on his insights. Ten days later, he started concocting his 30th batch of Tier 7 pills. This time, Mo Wuji went back to Trio Revolution Solitary Blood Pills. Following the same steps, Mo Wuji did not face any obstacle as he concocted a batch of Trio Revolution Solitary Blood Pills. This batch only contained five pills. Even though it was not a full batch, it contained an intermediate grade Trio Revolution Solitary Blood Pill. Mo Wuji finally heaved a sigh of relief; he was very clear of his own standards of the Pill Dao. As long as he succeeded, he wouldn¡¯t encounter any sort of unstable scenarios. A primary reason was due to his purification of immortal herbs. For those old fogies, their stability in concocting pills was due to their experience and understanding towards the Pill Dao. But for Mo Wuji, more than his understanding towards the Pill Dao, his stability in concocting pills was due to his purification of the immortal herbs. After concocting another 15 batches of Tier 7 pills in a row, Mo Wuji finally concocted six unique grade Bodhi Pills on his 15th batch. Mo Wuji knew that he was a true Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor now. It wasn¡¯t far from his prediction. It was roughly half a year since he made his promise to Han Long. Looking at the energetic Grade 7 Scholar¡¯s Heart in his hand, Mo Wuji felt really emotional. His cultivation was merely at the Grand Yi Immortal Stage but he actually became a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. Indeed, adversity and pressure was what allowed a person to grow. If not for his urgent need to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he would probably need a few decades to achieve his success today. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t immediately go out. Instead, he cleaned his pill furnace and brought out a Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit as well as a pile of other herbs. Next, he was going to attempt to concoct the Tier 7 Draining Immortal King Pill. The Draining Immortal King Pill was not the hardest pill to concoct among Tier 7 pills, but its value was definitely the highest among Tier 7 pills. It was the pill desired by every Grand Luo Immortal; countless of Great Circle Grand Luo Immortals were unable to even obtain a Draining Immortal King Pill in their entire life time. Mo Wuji, who had already concocted more than ten batches Tier 7 immortal pills, was already very expereinced. He placed the immortal herbs in toto the pill furnace and started purifying them. After two hours, Mo Wuji already started separating the pills. After four hourse, Mo Wuji started condensing spirituality. Thereafter, comes pill retrieval¡­ Without surprise, Mo Wuji retrieved four red and white pills. The six pills, which were roughly of the same size, landed in Mo Wuji¡¯s palm. Even though they looked incredibly ordinary, Mo Wuji knew that they were all unique grade Draining Immortal King Pills. Every single Draining Immortal King Pill was enough to cause a crazy riot. However, he was able to concoct six of them so easily. In the future, if he ran out of immortal crystals, he only needed to auction some of these Draining Immortal King Pills and the immortal crystals would come rolling in. Four hours later, Mo Wuji retrieved his second batch of Draining Immortal King Pills. They were also all unique grade. Mo Wuji placed the six pills into a jade vase, but he didn¡¯t store the jade vase in his ring. He knew that he could go out now. Keeping his pill furnace, and releasing his seals, he discovered that Han Long didn¡¯t enter closed doors, but was gazing at those withered immortal herbs. "Pill Master Mo, you¡¯re out?" Han Long clearly wasn¡¯t observing those immortal herbs, but paying attention to Mo Wuji¡¯s situation. Mo Wuji knew the feelings of anxiety in Han Long¡¯s heart. He handed the jade vase in his hand to Han Long and said, "Dao Friend Han, things went well. I already concocted a batch of Tier 7 Draining Immortal King Pills." "Ah¡­" In her excitement, Han Long even forgot about her decorum as she directly grabbed the jade vase and opened it. Thereafter, she exclaimed, "They are actually all unique grade Draining Immortal King Pills, Pill Master Mo¡­ Eh¡­" "What¡¯s the matter?" Mo Wuji saw Han Long¡¯s expression turn from glee to astonishment, and he asked puzzledly. Han Long¡¯s glee had suddenly disappeared. Her expression was weird as she said to Mo Wuji disappointedly, "Pill Master Mo, your Draining Immortal King Pill might not work¡­" The disappointment in her heart could not be expressed using words. She had clearly obtained unique grade Draining Immortal King Pills, but she actually discovered that these might not even be true pills. It would be weird if she could conceal her disappointment. "Why?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brow and looked at Han Long in confusion. He had put in much effort to concoct these Draining Immortal King Pills, and he had even integrated his own understanding of the Dao into the pills. Morever, with his purification, he did not even waste a hint of the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit¡¯s medicinal properties. Mo Wuji believed that not every Tier 7 Pill Emperor could do the same as him. But now, Han Long was telling him that his pills were useless. This left Mo Wuji¡¯s heart feeling rather uncomfortable. The reason why he was so fervent in researching and improving his Pill Dao was indeed because he had thoughts of engaging in a trade with Zhuo Pingan. However, it was also because he wanted to repay Han Long. Han Long had helped him greatly, so he urgently wanted to help Han Long advance and become an Immortal King. Han Long could see Mo Wuji¡¯s discomfort and she hurriedly explained, "Pill Master Mo, a true Tier 7 Draining Immortal King Pill would have a faint pill fragrance and it would also emit a dao energy." Han long didn¡¯t continue speaking. The pills that Mo Wuji concocted only looked like a Draining Immortal King Pill, but they didn¡¯t have the other qualities; Mo Wuji¡¯s pills didn¡¯t have the pill fragrance, nor exude dao energy. When Mo Wuji heard Han Long¡¯s words, he was also slightly dumbfounded. He believed that Han Long would have a deep understanding of the Draining Immortal King Pill. After all, Han Long wholeheartedly desired to become an Immortal King, so how could she not understand what a Draining Immortal King Pill was? However, he didn¡¯t encounter any problem when he concocted the Draining Immortal King Pills? And he even inserted his own understandings of the Dao in during the process. However, his Dao had always been derived from his dao revelation channel and his Immortal Mortal Technique. He had didn¡¯t really interact with other Pill Emperors so he didn¡¯t know the unique characteristices of the Draining Immortal King Pill. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji said directly, "Dao Friend Han, I¡¯m still confident with the pills that I concocted. If Dao Friend han believes me, then try one of the pills. If it really doesn¡¯t work, then Dao Friend Han can tell me what was wrong. I still have some Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits on me, so I can continue trying." Han Long promptly said, "I will naturally agree. Later, I will try to break into the Immortal King Stage so I still need Pill Master Mo¡¯s help to defend me." ¡­ Half an incense later, the two were at a protruding reef on the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Mo Wuji had helped Han Long install a spirit gathering array and was acting as Han Long¡¯s defender. From within the spirit gathering array, Han Long nodded towards Mo Wuji. Then she carefully poured out a Draining Immortal King Pill from the jade vase, kept the jade vase, then placed the pill into her mouth. The reason why she was acting so carefully was because she wanted to tell Mo Wuji that regardless whether Mo Wuji¡¯s pills worked or not, she still respected them. After all, a pill refiner had entered seclusion for so long just to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill for her. If she behaved carelessly, she would only cause Mo Wuji¡¯s heart to swell. Chapter 614: Da Huang Chapter 614: Da Huang Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment the Draining Immortal King Pill dissolved in her mouth, Han Long sighed; it was worse than she had predicted. Previously, she guessed that while this pill might not increase a person¡¯s chances of advancing into the Immortal King Stage, it should at least provide some immortal spiritual energy for her to cultivate. So because of that, when she swallowed the pill, she also started circulating her cultivation technique. It wasn¡¯t because she wanted to induce the Immortal King Tribulation, but because she didn¡¯t want to waste the pill that Mo Wuji worked so hard for her. But in reality, the moment the pill entered her mouth, nothing happened. There wasn¡¯t even half a bit of immortal spiritual energy or medicinal properties. That meant that the pill that Mo Wuji created was just like an ordinary pill with some red coloring added on it. Oh, it should be said Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit red coloring. Just when Han Long wanted to stand up, a dao will suddenly appeared within her mind. She suddenly felt like she was back to when she first started cultivation; she experienced the wonder and excitement from when she absorbed her first strand of spiritual energy. How many years ago was that? Thereafter, within Han Long¡¯s body, she felt the sensation of her first spirit channel opening, then her second, then her third¡­ Thereafter, she transcended mortality, she formed her Yuan Dan. Soon, she re-experienced the feeling of just stepping into the Worldly Immortal Stage, then Earthly Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal¡­ Han Long clearly already had those cultivation, but as she was preparing to enter the Immortal King Stage, the feelings when she entered those past stages portrayed themselves again in the deepest part of her heart. It was like she had went back to becoming an ordinary mortal and she was slowly walking on the path to immortality. She had finally advanced to the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. The time Han Long spent in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage was the shortest, so the feeling of advancing was still familiar. At this instant, she felt that familiar sensation again. Soon, she felt the Dao of an Immortal King; it was a sort of energy from the Heaven and Earth; it felt like a new Heaven and Earth where she shed the shackles of her body. As long as she advanced into the Immortal King Stage, she would become a true expert, someone with a strand of chance of controlling her own fate. Han Long didn¡¯t have time to think whether these sensations were due to the Draining Immortal King Pill. At this instant, her insights on the Immortal King Stage were getting deeper and deeper; it was so deep to the point that Han Long had never envisioned herself ever having such a clear understanding towards her own great Dao. Even if she stepped into the Immortal King Stage, she didn¡¯t expect herself to have such a profound understanding of her own Dao. That understanding seemed to etch itself onto her brain, allowing her to step into that stage with but a single thought. The spirit gathering array finally showed its use. Because at this instant, Han Long was furiously drawing in boundless amounts of immortal spiritual energy. The sky dimmed, seemingly brewing ominous and intense lightning clouds. Han Long¡¯s eyes were tightly closed as both her hands rapidly formed various enigmatic hand seals. At this instant, her aura was continuously getting stronger. By the side, Mo Wuji also heaved a sigh of relief. He extended his hand and threw a million immortal crystals into the spirit gathering array. Previously, he got a shock when Han Long said that there was a problem with the Draining Immortal King Pill that he concocted. From the looks of it, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems, otherwise, Han Long wouldn¡¯t be beckoning for the Immortal King Lightning Calamity. How could Mo Wuji¡¯s Draining Immortal King Pill have any problem? If Han Long could speak right now, she definitely wouldn¡¯t hesitate to say that this was the number one Draining Immortal King Pill in the entire world. No, this should not be considered a Draining Immortal King Pill; the Draining Immortal King Pill did not have such an intense Pill Dao energy, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Multiple thick lightning bolts came descending down. Mo Wuji knew that it was all up to Han Long now. Only Han Long herself knew how long she longed for and prepared for this day. The moment the lightning bolts came, she unhurriedly took out a defensive treasure, then she continuously condensed her immrotal elemental energy. By the side, Mo Wuji looked at the lightning bolts and he was thinking: Meh. If he was the one facing Han Long¡¯s Immortal King Lightning Calamity, he could pass it, and he could pass it at a more relaxed way than Han Long. The Draining Immortal King Pill that Han Long was gaining insights from was concocted by him, so Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t really interested in the heavenly dao energy that was currently in the surrounding. These things could be said to be mere leftovers. He directly took out that immortal puppet, then placed the green crystal into the puppet¡¯s crystal groove. The moment the crystal entered the immortal puppet, there did not seem to be any change on the puppet¡¯s surface, it was still incredibly ugly. However, Mo Wuji could immediately feel the change within the puppet. A sort of energy which seemed capable of destroying the heavens and splitting the earth appeared within his spiritual will. At this instant, Mo Wuji had a feeling that if he wanted it to, he could easily order this immortal puppet to do just that. That might just be an illusion, but it also demonstrated that this puppet was truly impressive. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s worry that the immortal puppet would expend too much energy from the crystal, he would have wanted to try his puppet out, to see how powerful one of its punches was. Mo Wuji extended his hand and carressed this immortal puppet¡¯s head, wondering whether this immortal puppet was enough to block that b*stard Lun Cai. "Shuai Guo, you come out too." Mo Wuji saw that Han Long¡¯s tribulation would still take some time so he directly threw Shuai Guo out. Shuai Guo merely glanced at Han Long for a moment before he lost interest. In its eyes, Lord Mo¡¯s tribulation was much more spectacular. "My lord, that ugly lump looks really stupid, could¡­" Shuai Guo landed on that immortal puppet¡¯s shoulder and said. But before it could finish this sentence, that immortal puppet snorted, "You¡¯re the ugly lump. Your whole family are ugly lumps." Shuai Guo wasn¡¯t the only one startled. Even Mo Wuji was shocked. He didn¡¯t know that this immortal puppet could talk, it was truly quite intelligent. It was good that it could talk, but why did the way this fella talked sound rather familiar? "You can speak? Then why didn¡¯t you feel anything when I was refining you?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment. Even though Mo Wuji seemed to be asking an innocent question, his heart was already on guard. If it could speak, it meant that it had its own intelligence, And if it had its own intelligence, it meant that this puppet would have its own opinions. A puppet that had its own opinions wasn¡¯t terrifying, the terrifying part was if he didn¡¯t have full control of the puppet. Unless this ability to speak was due to some computer chip, he wouldn¡¯t be at ease. The immortal puppet spoke in a low and muffled voice, "I have always been able to speak. This thing has been sealed by that fella Han Yi. Only if the crystal enters, than I can vomit it out and let it be refined by you." When it finished speaking, the immortal puppet opened its mouth and vomited a palm-sized object that was engraved with runes and handed it to Mo Wuji. The moment Mo Wuji accepted this object, he knew that this immortal puppet wasn¡¯t powered by some computer chip, but an artificial equipment spirit. This artificial equipment spirit seeemd to be made from some unknown material; it actually contained some hints of vitality. That means to say, if this immortal puppet was washed in some heavenly dao energy, it was possible for this artificial equipment spirit to become a true equipment spirit. Since this immortal puppet possessed life and intelligence, it wasn¡¯t impossible for it to come alive. What impressive forging skills; Mo Wuji sighed with emotion as he started refining this artificial equipment spirit. In merely half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji refined this artificial equipment spirit. Only at this time, did Mo Wuji finally let his guard down. He learnt that this immortal puppet wouldn¡¯t turn on its owner. He also learnt that this artificial equipment spirit was the source of life for the immortal puppet. With a single thought, he could completely destroy this immrotal puppet. Mo Wuji also ginnaly understood why Han Yi would seal this artificial equipment spirit, requiring the green crystal for it to be accessed. As long as it wasn¡¯t a descendant of the Han Clan, they wouldn¡¯t be able to make use of the immortal puppet even after they obtained it, because they wouldn¡¯t have the green crystals. Within the Han Clan blood, the storage ring wouldn¡¯t recognise an owner. Forcefully opening it would cause the space within the ring to collapse and the things inside would be destroyed. When he understood this logic, Mo Wuji felt a lot better. He then placed the artificial equipment spirit back into the immortal puppet¡¯s mouth and said, "You can take this back. Oh, I offended a late stage Immortal Emperor. Are you able to beat him?" The immortal puppet spoke in contempt, "A late stage Immortal Emperor only counts as fart." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think any further. When he heard those words, he immediately patted the immortal puppet¡¯s head in delight, "Not bad, not bad. In the future, I will call you¡­" Mo Wuji started thinking of a name for the immortal puppet. If he knew that the meaning behind the immortal puppet¡¯s words was that it had seen far too many late stage Immortal Emperors before, and not that the power of a late stage Immortal Emperor was only fart compared to it, perhaps Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have the mood to think of a name. "My lord, why don¡¯t you call him Shuai Wan. I¡¯m Shuai Guo, and he can be called Shuai Wan. " When Shuai Guo saw that Mo Wuji was thinking of a name for that ugly lump, it immediately thought of that rotten idea. In its eyes, a pot is more important than a bowl. [1] "My lord, then I will be called Shuai Guo too." The immortal puppet kept its equipment spirit and spoke unhesitantly. It even began to learn from Shuai Guo the way to address Mo Wuji. "That¡¯s impossible. Shuai Guo is my name. You can only be called Shuai Wan. And lord is for me to call. You are just a puppet, so you must call master." When the mosquito saw that this lump actually dared to steal its name, it was instantly enraged. "But I want to call my lord, lord, lord, lord¡­" The immortal puppet continued to diss Shuai Guo with a ¡®what-can-you-do-about-it¡¯ face. Shuai Guo¡¯s breath started getting heavy. Unfortunately, while it had been following Mo Wuji for quite some time, it was still a Class 7 beast. Compared to this immortal puppet, 108,000 li was but a step in the distance between them. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "I will call you Da Huang then. Anyway, I found you in the Great Desolate Sea Domain. This name is not bad." [2] "Many thanks master, in the future, I will have the name Da huang, which is slightly better than the name Shuai Guo." The immortal puppet did not dare to be impolite to Mo Wuji. "Brother Da Huang, don¡¯t you know about respecting your elders. You only just came, must you stand on top of my head and sh*t on me? Do you believe that I will eat you up in a few bites?" The puppet¡¯s words infuritated Shuai Guo. How could there be a better name than Shuai Guo? Da Huang was about to rebut, but Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Everyone, stop fighting. We still have to help each other in the future." Mo Wuji was very clear of Shuai Guo¡¯s origins. Perhaps Da Huang didn¡¯t think much of Shuai Guo¡¯s words. But Mo Wuji knew that Shuai Guo was a descendant of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito, so he knew that Shuai Guo¡¯s words were true. This big mosquito really did have the capability to eat Da Huang. If one day, this mosquito waits for an opportunity when Da Huang didn¡¯t have any crystal powering it, and when he was cultivating, to eat Da Huang, then it would truly be a huge loss. [1] Guo is pot, while Wan is bowl. So maybe Mo Wuji¡¯s future pet could be a fork? Or maybe a knife. [2] Da Huang is the Hanyu Pinyin for Great Desolate. Chapter 615: Come To My Peace Resthouse Chapter 615: Come To My Peace Resthouse Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Half a day later, Han Long¡¯s Lightning Calamity gradually dispersed. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to look at Han Long, he only needed to feel her energy to know that Han Long had already advanced to the Immortal King Stage and was currently absorbing immortal spiritual energy to stabilize her cultivation. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in a hurry; he started to converse with Da Huang. It was just that Da Huang knew little; it only knew the person who forged him was a green robed man. It seems like that green robed man was forging a magic treasure and had some leftover materials so he casually used those materials to forge Da Huang. As for the green robed man¡¯s appearance, name and location, Da Huang didn¡¯t know anything The only thing it knew was that after that green robed man forged it, he didn¡¯t seem too satisfied. After some time, that person felt that Da Huang really looked too unsightly so he casually threw it into the void. Initially, Mo Wuji admired this green robed man, as he was able to easily create such a powerful immortal puppet. But when he heard that the green robed man casually threw Da Huang away just because he wasn¡¯t satisfied, Mo Wuji¡¯s recognition of this person fell by a bit. If Da Huang was an ordinary immortal puppet, then so be it. But the key thing was that Da Huang had an artificial equipment spirit, which meant that it was something that had the possibility of life. Casually throwing such a puppet away was really different from the way Mo Wuji would have done things. The big mosquito Shuai Guo was very discontented with the way Mo Wuji was treating Da Huang. In its heart, it was thinking of ways to show Da Huang who was boss. Of course, all this had to wait till Lord Mo wasn¡¯t around. Three days later, Han Long had tentatively stabilised her cultivation and the first thing she did was to find Mo Wuji. She bowed to Mo Wuji emotionally, "Pill Master Mo, many thanks for your Draining Immortal King Pill, this was the best Draining Immortal King Pill that I have seen, Other Draining Immortal King Pills, even unique grade ones, would only increase a Grand Luo Immortal¡¯s chance of advancing to the Immortal King Stage by 30 to 40%, but yours was at least 90%. No, it would definitely allow a Grand Luo Immortal to become an Immortal King with 100% certainty." Mo Wuji laughed and said, "I was entrusted by Dao Friend Han to concoct this pill so I would definitely do my best. However, in this world, there¡¯s no Draining Immortal King Pill which could allow a person to become an Immortal King with 100% certainty. It was just that Dao Friend Han was much better prepared." After Han Long advanced to the Immortal King Stage, her breasts were recovered. Now, she had the curves that a beauty should have. This left Mo Wuji rather satisfied; he did really want to help Han Long. Compared to Da Huang, ten batches of Draining Immortal King Pills wouldn¡¯t even be worth anything. The value of a Draining Immortal King Pill was nothing compared to Da Huang. Han Long continued with a serious expression on her face, "No, I was wrong previously. Your Draining Immortal King Pill is indeed different from the ones concocted by other Pill Emperors, it allowed me to feel extraordinariness from within the ordinariness, it even contained an eternal and lasting dao energy. That allowed me to naturally step into the Immortal King Stage without any sudden interruptions, and it didn¡¯t even require much." These words of Han Long were genuine; she really felt the unordinariness from Mo Wuji¡¯s Draining Immortal King Pill. No, it should be said that this ordinary pill was actually able to create such unordinary dao effects. Originally, she intended to use 50 years to charge to the Immortal King Stage. She didn¡¯t expect that not even a year passed but she was able to advance to the Immortal King Stage. Her current feelings of gratitude towards Mo Wuji simply couldn¡¯t be described with words. After saying that, Han Long took that jade vase out, "Pill Master Mo, with such a powerful pill, only three is enough. The remaining three can be returned to you. Mo Wuji waved his hand, indicating that Han Long could keep the pills, "I¡¯m a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. These pill really don¡¯t mean much to me, so you can keep it. Now, let¡¯s return back to the Cape of Peace, then I intend to make a trip to Sharphorn Ruins." When she heard that Mo Wuji wanted to return to the Cape of Peace, Han Long hurriedly said, "Pill Master Mo, we really can¡¯t return back to the Cape of Peace now. If you don¡¯t want to stay in the Great Desolate Sea Domain, we can skirt around the Cape of Peace and find some other place to hide." There was no need to talk about Mo Wuji, even Han Long knew that she, herself, couldn¡¯t return to the Cape of Peace. She was the one who brought Mo Wuji out of the Cape of Peace. If she were to return, those experts would definitely force her to reveal Mo Wuji¡¯s whereabouts. Mo Wuji patted Da Huang and said, "Previously, we couldn¡¯t go out. But now we can." "You¡¯re going to depend on this immortal puppet?" Han Long looked at this puppet that was only half the size of a person and asked in astonishment. "That¡¯s right. It is now called Da Huang and it can help me. So this time, I should be the one grateful to you. If you hadn¡¯t brought me to the Great Desolate Sea Domain, I wouldn¡¯t have met Da Huang." Just like how Han Long was grateful towards Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was also feeling deep gratitude towards Han Long. "But even if this is a Grade 9 immortal puppet, it wouldn¡¯t be able to match against an Immortal Emperor. Pill Master Mo, you should know that an ordinary immortal puppet couldn¡¯t be compared to a dao body of the same grade¡­" Before Han Long could finish speaking, Da Huang interrupted her with its low and muffled voice, "Who says I¡¯m an ordinary puppet? I¡¯m no lesser than a dao body. Immortal Emperor, so what? In my eyes, they only count as fart!" "..." Han Long stared at Da Huang in shock. It was only after some time that she muttered, "You can speak? You are a dao body that contains life?" Dao body. It refers to beings with life and intelligence which could cultivate to grow. "It¡¯s no sh*tty dao body. It¡¯s merely an artificial equipment spirit," Shuai Guo shot a diss from the side. Shuai Guo was currently lamenting its low cultivation. If it was a little stronger, if anyone dared to be disrespectful to it, this heroic and handsome bird, oh, it should be this big mosquito, Shuai Guo would show that thing what this mosquito could do. "Han Long was disrespectful just now. I hope that you would forgive me." When Han Long knew that Da Huang had its own thoughts and didn¡¯t even place Immortal Emperors in its eyes, she immediately clasped her fists in apology. In the eyes of a cultivator like her, an expert was an expert and a weakling was a weakling. In front of Da Huang, she was a weakling. ¡­ Cape of Peace. After the battle between Grand Emperor Lun Cai and Zhuo Pingan, this place seemed to gradually regain its original appearance. When some of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors knew that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in the Cape of Peace, they took their leave. When Mo Wuji and Han Long returned to the Cape of Peace, they didn¡¯t really cause a big stir. There were some people who didn¡¯t even recognise him. Even though the other experts had already gone, there was still a Zhuo Pingan. During the first time, Zhuo Pingan had ignored Mo Wuji, allowing Mo Wuji to come and leave from his territory. He definitely wouldn¡¯t allow such a thing to happen again. So the moment Mo Wuji returned to the Cape of Peace, Zhuo Pingan immediately knew about it. "Let¡¯s go the Peace Hotel first. I still have some friends in Peace Hotel, so before leaving with you, I would need to bid my farewells." Han Long said as they stepped onto the pier of the Cape of Peace. Mo Wuji was also about to say that he intended to bid his farewells to Gai Guangyi and co. too, when a gentle voice rang beside his ear, "Pill Master Mo, I am Zhuo Pingan. If Pill Master Mo doesn¡¯t have anything to do, come to my Peace Resthouse for a talk." "What¡¯s the matter?" Han Long hurriedly asked when she saw the disoriented expression on Mo Wuji¡¯s face. Mo Wuji said helplessly, "Zhuo Pingan invited me to Peace Resthouse for a talk." Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t use the word ¡®invite¡¯; he was very forceful in asking Mo Wuji to go over. "Ah¡­." Han Long exclaimed. Thereafter, she immediately transmited a message to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, you definitely can¡¯t directly address him as Zhuo Pingan. You must call him Grand Emperor Pingan, or Senior Pingan." Mo Wuji smiled slightly; it wasn¡¯t that he wasn¡¯t willing to call Zhuo Pingan as Grand Emperor Pingan or Senior Pingan. But he was intending to have a trade with Zhuo Pingan. If he addressed Zhuo Pingan as a senior, then they wouldn¡¯t be on equal terms during the trade. "I will follow you over." Han Long didn¡¯t even wait for Mo Wuji to reply as she hurriedly added. "There¡¯s no hurry. I will first go to Peace Hotel to greet a few friends before heading to Peace Resthouse. After going to Peace Resthouse, I will be leaving the Cape of Peace," Mo Wuji said calmly. Han Long was speechless but since Mo Wuji said that he wanted to see his friend first, there was nothing else she could say. When Mo Wuji and Han Long returned to Peace Hotel, they discovered that Gao Guangyi and co. had already left Peace Hotel a few months ago. They also seemed to have gone to the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Mo Wuji could only leave a message behind and entrust the attendant at Peace Hotel to pass it to Gai Guangyi and co. ¡­ At the same time, on the highest floor of Peace Resthouse, a pale looking youth smiled in disdain, then he muttered to himself, "Zhuo Pingan, keke, how many years had it been since a junior dared to call me like that? Leave the Cape of Peace? Probably in your next life." In his eyes, now that Mo Wuji was here, Mo Wuji would have to concoct pills for him. Leave? This Mo Wuji must be dreaming. ¡­ "Han Long, this place is much richer in immortal spiritual energy than your Peace Hotel," Mo Wuji sighed as the two of them arrived at the entrance of Peace Resthouse. He was already familiar with Han Long, so the way that he talked to her had also become more casual. Han Long laughed self-deprecatingly, "That Peace Hotel isn¡¯t mine. I¡¯m only a worker there." "Pill Master Mo has arrived?" An attendant welcomed them with a face full of smiles. As for Han Long, this attendant directly ignored her. "Yes, that¡¯s me." Mo Wuji nodded. The attendant hurriedly said, Pill Master Mo, please follow me." Mo Wuji gestured to Han Long and the two brought Da Huang and Shuai Guo into Peace Resthouse. There was an expert like Zhuo Pingan inside, so if Da Huang wasn¡¯t by his side, Mo Wuji really wouldn¡¯t dare to enter. The attendant directly brought Mo Wuji to the entrance of the fifth floor and said, "Pill Master Mo, please enter. I will be taking my leave now." Thereafter, Mo Wuji, Han Long and Da Huang entered and arrived in a huge room. There was only a pale youth sitting in the room. In front of him, there was a cup of immortal tea, and by the tea set, there was a folding fan. This youth¡¯s skin was truly too white; Mo Wuji could not help but notice it. And this room was also too empty. Besides the tea set and the chair that the youth was sitting on, there was nothing else. There weren¡¯t even any chairs for Mo Wuji and Han Long to sit on. Chapter 616: The Pill Zhuo Pingan Needs Chapter 616: The Pill Zhuo Pingan Needs Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You are Mo Wuji? Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King?" Zhuo Pingan¡¯s gaze landed on Mo Wuji. As for Han Long and Da Huang, he acted as though he didn¡¯t notice them. Mo Wuji lifted his hand and brought out two stone stools and he first said to Han Long, "Han Long, first take a seat. The host doesn¡¯t have the habit of treating his guests with courtesy but we can¡¯t allow ourselves to suffer." "I¡¯m fine standing." Han Long wasn¡¯t as bold as Mo Wuji. In front of Zhuo Pingan, she really didn¡¯t dare to take a seat. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care. As long as Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t use his strength to suppress him, then he didn¡¯t need to feel inferior. Thus, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate to sit down. Seeing Mo Wuji invite himself to sit, an additional hint of disdain appeared in the corner of Zhuo Pingan¡¯s eyes. To act so unbridledly in front of him, Zhuo Pingan; did this Mo Wuji think that this would improve Zhuo Pingan¡¯s impression of him? And he even dared to bring his own guests here; besides his Pill Dao, this Mo Wuji did not seem to know anything else. To Mo Wuji, the Immortal World was the same as the cultivation world. Only the strong could speak. Now that he had Da Huang, even if Da Huang wasn¡¯t as powerful as Zhuo Pingan, Mo Wuji believed that Da Huang wouldn¡¯t be far off. Moreover, Mo Wuji did not believe that an invalid like Zhuo Pingan would attack him, someone who had no enmity with Zhuo Pingan and could even be of help to Zhuo Pingan. Since that¡¯s the case, Mo Wuji did have the rights to talk to Zhuo Pingan on equal standings. Thus, Mo Wuji directly ignored Zhuo Pingan¡¯s contempt and said indifferently, "Half of Dao Friend Zhuo¡¯s words were wrong. I am indeed Mo Wuji, but I¡¯m not a Honored Grade Tier 5 Pill King, but a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor." "Is what you¡¯re saying true?" Zhuo Pingan suddenly stood up at stared squarely at Mo Wuji. As for the disrespect that Mo Wuji showed him previously, he had already cast it aside. When he heard this answer from Mo Wuji, even though he was a wise and firm late stage Immortal Emperor, he still couldn¡¯t maintain his calm. Mo Wuji looked calmly towards Zhuo Pingan; he did not reply to Zhuo Pingan¡¯s words. He knew that this was a crucial time to balance the power. Once the power was balanced, it would be easier for him to negotiate. "Stay in the Cape of Peace and concoct pills for me. Even if you have offended Lun Cai, he wouldn¡¯t dare to touch you." Zhuo Pingan was, after all, an Immortal Emperor. In an instant, he was able to make his decision. As a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji did deserve to act arrogantly in front of him. As for the girl that Mo Wuji brought in, he was willing to let her go. Of course, that was based on the condition that Mo Wuji concocts pills for him. "I can concoct pills for you, but there will definitely be conditions. At the same time, I will not be staying in the Cape of Peace." Mo Wuji¡¯s tone remained calm. A vicious expression flashed across Zhuo Pingan¡¯s eyes, thereafter, an intense energy suddenly came pressing down on Mo Wuji. There was clearly nothing in front of him but Mo Wuji could actually feel something pressing against his chest, forcing him to be unable to breath. This aggressive energy didn¡¯t simply stop there; instead, it got heavier and heavier. Standing by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, Da Huang could also feel this vehement Immortal Emperor aura. A faint green light shot out from its eyes, and thereafter, a fierce energy no inferior to Zhuo Pingan¡¯s burst out. The two forces clashed in mid air and the space in between them started to hum. A hint of astonishment appeared in Zhuo Pingan¡¯s face; he only just discovered that he had completed disregarded this immortal puppet. This immortal puppet actually had such an intense dao aura; from the looks of it, it was at least a Grade 9 immortal puppet. Zhuo Pingan finally understood why Mo Wuji would act so boldly in front of him; it was because of this immortal puppet. He sneered in his heart, even if it was a Grade 9 immortal puppet, it was still useless in front of him. As he thought of this, Zhuo Pingan¡¯s aura raged with greater intensity. Previously, he didn¡¯t intend to injure Mo Wuji. Not only couldn¡¯t he injure his pill refiners, he didn¡¯t want to waste a single bit of his pill refiner¡¯s vitality. Similarly, Da Huang¡¯s aura also started to grow; whether it was its dao domain, or its oppressive aura, Da Huang was in no way inferior to Zhuo Pingan. In fact, it even started to surpass Zhuo Pingan¡¯s aura. Zhuo Pingan startled; this was definitely not a Grade 9 immortal puppet. He knew that he would no longer be able to merely use his aura to intimidate Mo Wuji. Just when he intended to personally take action, Mo Wuji suddenly said, "Zhuo Pingan, if you try to lay your hands on me, I will immediately leave the Cape of Peace. As for the matter of the cooperation, I believe that you aren¡¯t the only one that needs to cooperate with." When he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the malicious intents within Zhuo Pingan¡¯s heart suddenly soared; a mere ant-like cultivator actually dared to threaten him, Zhuo Pingan. "Da Huang, prepare to fight." Feeling Zhuo Pingan¡¯s malicious intents, Mo Wuji stood up and took a few steps back. He was also prepared to fight. Naturally, Han Long also braced herself to help Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji understood that his cultivation was low, but he should be able to aid Da Huang. Moreover, he had his own hidden cards such as his spatial imprisonment and his spirit storage channel. Even though these things would only be a mere itch to Zhuo Pingan, but in a fight between experts, even a mere itch could have a huge impact on the outcome of the battle. "Very good. You have the rights to discuss with me." Zhuo Pingan¡¯s malicious intents gradually faded as he stared at Mo Wuji calmly. In his heart, he was still feeling very resentful. In that instant, he did want to attack to teach this immortal puppet a lesson. How dare an immortal puppet dare clash with him in terms of aura, it was simply courting death. But eventually, he had no choice but to suppress his feelings. There was no other reason but the fact that Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. Mo Wuji had such a puppet, which meant that Mo Wuji did not need to help him, Zhuo Pingan, to concoct pills. What if Mo Wuji was really very young? The pill Mo Wuji concocted might possibly thoroughly treat his ailment. Seeing Zhuo Pingan calm down, Mo Wuji also signalled for Da Huang to stop. "You¡¯re really a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor?" Zhuo Pingan took in a deep breath, then he stared at Mo Wuji and asked solemnly. This time, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t remain silent. He answered with great certainty, "That¡¯s right, I am indeed a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. A few months ago, Han Long was still a Grand Luo Immortal but she¡¯s now an Immortal King because of a Draining Immortal King Pill that I concocted for her." "Are you more than 1,000 years old?" Even though Zhuo Pingan already guessed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t likely to me more than 1,000 years old, he still wanted to verify it. "No." Mo Wuji answered simply. In his heart he was thinking: There¡¯s no need to talk about 1,000 years old, he was still far from being 100 years old. Zhuo Pingan nodded, his face was expressionless and aloof, as though he wasn¡¯t the same person that was shocked after knowing that Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. Mo Wuji was sure that he had met Zhuo Pingan¡¯s requirements. As for why Zhuo Pingan wasn¡¯t as emotional as he had been previously, it was perfectly normal. Previously, Zhuo Pingan thought that he, Mo Wuji, was simply a fish that had no capability to resist. That¡¯s why Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t need to care about his emotions. But now that Zhuo Pingan knew how strong Da Huang was, he naturally wouldn¡¯t reveal any primal emotions before the negotiations concluded. Whether Zhuo Pingan revealed his emotions or not wasn¡¯t critical to Mo Wuji. If they couldn¡¯t come to an agreement, then he could just forget about it. He did have the base card. "This bird of yours is not bad." Zhuo Pingan suddenly changed the topic and focused his attention on Shuai Guo. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know the meaning behind Zhuo Pingan¡¯s words. Logically, he should be ralking about Da Huang, but he unexpectedly praised the unassuming Shuai Guo. Da Huang said discontently, in its low and muffled voice, "Did you think that it was that tiny bird that blocked you? It was me, Da Huang, ok? Your words are really too unpleasant to the ears. Why don¡¯t we spar once and I¡¯ll let you see my power." "Da Huang, don¡¯t talk nonsense." Mo Wuji scolded Da Huang. He didn¡¯t want Da Huang to actually fight with Zhuo Pingan. It wasn¡¯t because he was afraid of Zhuo Pingan, but because Da Huang was simply a money burning machine. Moreover, he only had five of those crystals that could power Da Huang. Every time Da Huang made a move, he would have one less move which he could use to ensure his own safety. "You can talk?" Even though Da Huang was able to block his aura previously, Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t really care too much about it. But now when he heard Da Huang speak, he was truly shocked. A speaking immortal puppet; that meant that this immortal puppet had an equipment spirit. Any equipment with an equipment spirit was a first class equipment. A puppet could also have an equipment spirit? Da Huang pouted its lips and didn¡¯t answer. Zhuo Pingan continued, "I take back my previous words. You are not bad too." After saying that, Zhuo Pingan turned and looked at Mo Wuji with greater seriousness, "Have you heard of the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "I¡¯m sorry. Even though I¡¯m a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, I don¡¯t know many pill formulas." Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t find it unexpected; he continued, "The Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill has three main ingredients. The first one is the pill refiner¡¯s vitality." After saying this sentece, Zhuo Pingan paid special attention to Mo Wuji. Actually, this wasn¡¯t a hidden secret. There were a few people in the Cape of Peace that know that he needed pills with vitality inserted in them. When he saw that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any reaction after hearing his sentence, he knew that Mo Wuji was already cognizant of that fact. Even though he was a tyrant in his own right, Zhuo Pingan actually heaved a sigh of relief. If it was before this meeting, such a thing wouldn¡¯t have happened. When he, Zhuo Pingan, needed pills, there was no need to talk about vitality. Even if he asked for their lives, the pill refiner would still have to give it. "Secondly, it needs the Green Bodhi Flower¡­" Zhuo Pingan continued speaking. There was nothing much about the Green Bodhi Flower. Even though it was expensive, it wasn¡¯t that difficult to procure it. This immortal herb was also the primary ingredient for the Green Bodhi Pill, one of the peak healing pills. "Thirdly, it needs the Heavenly Nature Grass." When Zhuo Pingan said this, his eyes dimmed. This Heavenly Nature Grass was truly too hard to obtain. "It needs the Heavenly Nature Grass?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment. Zhuo Pingan nodded, "That¡¯s right. That¡¯s what the pill formula says. The Heavenly Nature Grass is a Tier 7 immortal herb and it is already hard to find. Over these few years, I only managed to find the Heavenly Desolate Grass. The Heavenly Desolate Grass is, after all, only at Tier 5. The worst part is that the Heavenly Desolate Grass is extremely hard to purify. All this time, even the best Pill Emperors are only able to concoct Four Runes out of the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t interrupt him. Only he knew that the Heavenly Desolate Grass was actually the precursor to the Heavenly Nature Grass; their only difference was just a difference in purity. The Pill Emperors that Zhuo Pingan found didn¡¯t even understand about the Heavenly Desolate Grass and Heavenly Nature Grass. So what dog¡¯s fart Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill could they concoct? Chapter 617: Mo Wuji’s Condition Chapter 617: Mo Wuji¡¯s Condition Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You¡¯re requesting for me to help concoct the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill for you?" Mo Wuji only asked calmly when Zhuo Pingan was finished speaking. Zhuo Pingan''s lips twitched slightly. He was a peak Immortal Emperor, did he need to ¡®request¡¯ for a pill refiner who was not even at the Immortal King Stage to do something? However, he was helpless as Mo Wuji did not seem to place a regional tyrant like him in his eyes. Even though the other party''s cultivation wasn''t high, as a Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji did have the qualifications to use the word ''request¡¯. As he thought of this, Zhuo Pingan calmed down; his tone was tranquil as he said, "That''s right. I''m requesting for you to concoct the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill for me." The way he said ''request¡¯ was especially jarring. Mo Wuji did not mind Zhuo Pingan''s attitude. It was true that an Immortal Emperor was a peak existence. However, there were still several other Immortal Emperors. On the other hand, he, Mo Wuji, was the one and only cultivator without spiritual roots. His existence was no less unique to an Immortal Emperor, and moreover, he was the a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. That was an existence which was even rarer than an Immortal Emperor. "Why should I concoct the pill for you?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows slightly. Supposedly, he shouldn''t be the one asking this question; Zhuo Pingan should have taken the initiative to suggest a remuneration and they would negotiate. However, he never thought that this fella would be so thick-skinned, to not mention anything about remunerations. Did this fella think that it would be an honor for Mo Wuji to concoct a pill for a Grand Emperor like him? Mo Wuji didn''t need this kind of bullsh*t honor. Indeed, when he heard Mo Wuji''s words, Zhuo Pingan''s face sunk; the malicious intent in his heart threatened to explode once more. It was just as Mo Wuji expected, he had never unintended to offer Mo Wuji any form of remuneration. At the most, he could allow Mo Wuji to use his name. "Da Huang, prepare to fight. We will try to leave immediately." When Mo Wuji felt Zhuo Pingan''s anger and malicious intent, he was also ruffled. He did not come here to please Zhuo Pingan, but to have a mutual negotiation. It could even be said that he came to offer help. But this old thing seemed to constantly want to his power to threaten him. Even he, Mo Wuji, had limits to his patience. "Pill Master Mo, what do you mean by that? Why aren''t you willing to concoct pills for me?" Zhuo Pingan opened his palm and that folding fan appeared in his palm. At the same time, his domain started to extend outwards. However, he did not merely use his domain and his aura this time, his heavy killing intent also swept towards Mo Wuji. A Grand Emperor had a Grand Emperor''s pride. Did this mere ant think that it was very impressive because it had an immortal puppet? Today, his, Zhuo Pingan''s, patience had been pushed to the limits. It was his first time speaking with such patience to an ant, but he never expected this ant to think that it was on top of the entire world because of an immortal puppet. Mo Wuji directly retreated to the entrance of the staircase and said coldly, "Who do you think you are? Why must I concoct pills for you? Da Huang, fight." Zhuo Pingan didn''t lay his hands on Mo Wuji, he merely wanted to his killing intent to suppress Mo Wuji. He didn''t think that Mo Wuji didn''t even fear him and even took the initiative to attack. Da Huang had already released its punch; minute tears began to appear in the space around it. Its immortal elemental energy exploded violently, causing the protective array within this room to make ricketing and cracking noises. A simple punch had directly sealed this area in space. Han Long, who actually wanted to help, immediately felt difficulty breathing. She anxiously retreated, her heart was in aghast. Previously, she thought that as an Immortal King, she would at least be able to offer a bit of help. But the moment Da Huang came with this punch, she knew that in the battle between Immortal Emperor level experts, she didn''t even have the rights to intervene. However, the next scene left Han Long stunned. Supposedly, if she didn''t have the rights to intervene, then Mo Wuji should have even lesser rights. However, Mo Wuji was actually standing beside Da Huang as it attacked. Not only that, he even wielded his saber and slashed towards Zhuo Pingan. Mo Wuji''s cultivation was clearly much lower than hers¡­ However, when she thought about how Mo Wuji was able to advance from a Tier 6 Pill King to a Tier 7 Pill Emperor in merely have a year, and that Mo Wuji was able to concoct such a unique Draining Immortal King Pill, Han Long came to an understanding. A person like Mo Wuji should not be judged using conventional means. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji could advance to Tier 7 Pill Emperor in such a short time, just the fact that Mo Wuji dared to remain so calm on front of a powerhouse like Zhuo Pingan was something that she, Han Long, wouldn''t be able to do. If Han Long''s heart was pounding in astonishment, then Zhuo Pingan''s heart was reverberating in shock. Han Long only saw Mo Wuji slashing his saber. But she didn''t know that Mo Wuji''s domain was able to merge with Da Huang''s domain, creating a whirlpool effect that suppressed Zhuo Pingan''s domain. More importantly, that slash of Mo Wuji''s was like a winding river cascading from the Heavens. That incomparably tyrannical killing intent left a deep impression in Zhuo Pingan. This slash did not pose a threat to him now, but if this slash continued to grow, then there will come a day when he will no longer be able to defend against this slash. This slash encompassed a natural killing aura, and from the looks of it, it was a prelude of a more powerful slash. This thought only fleeted across Zhuo Pingan''s head. He immediately half-opened his folding fan, and similarly, he swept up a heaven shaking wave of force which boomed towards Da Huang''s punch. As for Mo Wuji''s slash, he didn''t care about it. That slash was very strong, but its strength came in its potential. But now, this saber wasn''t of any threat to him. "Boom!" The two juggernauts of elemental energy slammed against each other in this tiny building. Rips appeared in the space between them. It was as though firecrackers had exploded within the room as the room began to fall apart. Indeed, it was as Zhuo Pingan had predicted, Mo Wuji''s slash was like an ocean, but it didn''t cause a splash. Zhuo Pingan lightly waved his folding fan. Soon, the crumbling room reverted back to its original appearance, as though no explosion had happened. "Let''s go Da Huang." Da Huang seemed to be raring to fight but Mo Wuji extended his arm and stopped it. He could tell that Da Huang was slightly weaker than Zhuo Pingan. If Zhuo Pingan really went all out, he would still be able to escape, but Da Huang would definitely be reduced to shreds. Zhuo Pingan didn''t continue either. He also knew that with this immortal puppet, it did not seem possible for him to keep Mo Wuji. The only possibility was that as he was destroying Da Huang, Mo Wuji would use that opportunity to escape. This would be of no benefit to him at all. There was no need to say how Mo Wuji''s future was bright and limitless, he would be losing out if he offended such a fella with potential. Moreover, Mo Wuji was the Tier 7 Pill Emperor that he was searching all over for. "Pill Master Mo, I was too reckless. I, Zhuo Pingan, would like to apologize." Zhuo Pingan threw away his pride and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. If Da Huang was the one suppressing Zhuo Pingan in the previous battle, Mo Wuji would not hesitate to leave even if Zhuo Pingan apologized. But in reality, during that exchange, even though he had helped, Da Huang was still in the losing end. If he were to leave now, Zhuo Pingan should not continue to stop him, but how was he going to deal with Lun Cai? If Da Huang wasn''t able to defeat Zhuo Pingan, then it also shouldn''t be able to trump over Lun Cai. Mo Wuji did not wish for Da Huang to be destroyed in a skirmish with Lun Cai. Thus, after Zhuo Pingan apologized, Mo Wuji also stopped. He clasped his fists in return, "Dao Friend Zhuo was too serious. I can here to offer help to Dao Friend Zhuo help. How could I have known that Dao Friend Zhuo looks down on me." How could Zhuo Pingan, this cunning fella, not know that Mo Wuji was here to negotiate for his protection. His original intention was to simply lend Mo Wuji his name. But now, he could tell that he wasn''t even able to keep Mo Wuji here, so he could only say, "Pill Master Mo, let''s start on a clean slate. I have the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill Formula here, can Pill Master Mo take a look and see whether you are able to concoct it?" With that Zhuo Pingan already fetched a jade letter and handed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "Let''s temporarily not talk about the pill formula. As long as it''s a Tier 7 Pill, I will definitely be able to make it. If Dao Friend Zhuo doesn''t believe me, you can take a look at this Green Bodhi Pill." When he finished speaking, Mo Wuji retrieved a Green Bodhi Pill and threw it to Zhuo Pingan. If he saw the formula and didn''t come to an agreement with Zhuo Pingan, then things would be bad. The moment the Green Bodhi Pill entered Zhuo Pingan''s hand, a trace of agitation appeared on his face. The Green Bodhi Pill was a pill that he used and saw frequently. The pill that Mo Wuji took out was completely perfect; and this was even his first time seeing such a fresh unique grade Green Bodhi Pill. Zhuo Pingan very seriously handed the pill back to Mo Wuji and he asked in a low tone, "Pill Master Mo, if you have any conditions, say them. If I, Zhuo Pingan, am able to do it, I will definitely offer my help." Mo Wuji nodded; now that''s the way. If you had such an attitude from the start, wouldn''t things have been much faster? "Let me first tell you what I can do. Firstly, I can definitely be able to concoct at least a Four Runes Glimpsing Pill. However, I estimate that the actual pill that I concoct would be have Five Runes. Secondly, twenty years later, I promise Dao Friend Zhuo that I would be able to concoct a true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill." He did not see the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill Formula, but he did know about the Heavenly Desolate Grass and the Heavenly Nature Grass. The Heavenly Desolate Grass is an extremely difficult immortal herb to purify, so it''s expected that other pill refiners weren''t able to purify out the Heavenly Nature Grass. At the same time, Mo Wuji was very confident with his own Pill Dao. He believed that if other Pill Emperors were able to concoct a Four Runes Glimpsing Pill, then he would definitely be able to do it too. The reason why he estimated that he was able to concoct a Five Runes Glimpsing Pill was because Mo Wuji did not think that those pill refiners only managed to concoct the Four Runes one because they weren''t able to get the Heavenly Desolate Grass to a purity of 90% and above. When the Heavenly Desolate Grass was purified to above 90%, it would become the Heavenly Nature Grass. "You''re able to concoct a Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill twenty years later?" Zhuo Pingan was truly emotional this time. If Mo Wuji was able to concoct the true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill twenty years later, then he would be willing to promise anything. No, there''s no need to talk about twenty years, even if it was a century, or two centuries, he would be willing to wait. Mo Wuji said calmly, "That''s right. I am sure that I will be able to concoct the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill twenty years later. The condition is that you follow me for the twenty years. If anyone is blind enough to do anything to me, then you will need to help me discipline that person." Zhuo Pingan did not hesitate to say, "As long as you are able to concoct a Glimpsing Pill with four runes or above right now, I believe that you will be able to concoct the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill twenty years later. I, Zhuo Pingan, will be willing to follow you for twenty years, but the premise is that I will not follow you to take your revenge. I will only appear when someone lays his hands on you. I also wouldn''t help you if you offend go about offending people for no apparent reason." Zhuo Pingan was, after all, an Immortal Emperor; he had his own sense of discernment. If Mo Wuji randomly offended people everywhere he went, then how many enemies would he, Zhuo Pingan, have to accumulate? Even if he managed to get the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill twenty years later, it would still be a loss. Thus, he definitely needed to make things clear now. Mo Wuji chuckled, "If I, Mo Wuji, want revenge, I also wouldn''t want for you to interfere. I only need for you to tell me if you can do this. Even if no one comes to offend me throughout this twenty years, and even if you never made a move at all, our transaction will still conclude." "Alright, deal." Zhuo Pingan lifted his hand and a spiritual will imprint appeared in mid air. Then he stared at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not form his own imprint to merge with Zhuo Pingan''s. Instead, he waved his hand and dispersed Zhuo Pingan''s spiritual will imprint, then he said calmly, "Gentlemen¡¯s agreements are as clear as water. I believe Dao Friend Zhuo, and Dao Friend Zhuo must have trust in me too." "Hahahaha! Then I, Zhuo Pingan, will trust you this once!" "Since that''s the case, then may Dao Friend Zhuo please take out the pill formula. I will attempt to concoct the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill now." Mo Wuji said on the spot. Chapter 618: The Unordinary Pill Emperor Chapter 618: The Unordinary Pill Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Zhuo Pingan didn''t utter any nonsense. He did not hesitate as he retrieved a storage ring and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, inside contains the immortal ingredients for a batch of Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill, as well as the pill formula. I will wait here as you concoct the pill." Mo Wuji could feel that when Zhuo Pingan handed him the ring, Zhuo Pingan also sealed the array in the room that they were in. However, he wasn''t afraid. At the very most, he and Da Huang would bring Zhuo Pingan down with them. There''s nothing much to be afraid of. The storage ring was not sealed. The moment Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will in, he saw more than a hundred strands of immortal herbs; most of them were Tier 7 immortal herbs. A pill which required 100 over herbs was already considered a relatively difficult pill. The immortal herbs were maintained relatively well. From the looks of it, as Zhuo Pingan searched around for pill refiners, he must have picked up some skills on preserving immortal herbs. Mo Wuji took all the herbs out from the ring and piled them by the side. Thereafter, be retrieved the jade letter from within the ring. As his spiritual will penetrated into the jade letter, he soon found the pill formula within. The pill formula was extremely detailed, and it even included some observations that some other Pill Emperors made during the pill concoction process. This pill formula could simply be considered a perfect pill formula. But when Mo Wuji saw that the pill formula didn''t mention anything about the Heavenly Desolate Grass and the Heavenly Nature Grass, he knew that it was still lacking. The herbs that Zhuo Pingan gave him were strictly according to the pill formula; not a single one was missing. Mo Wuji placed the pill formula down, but he didn''t immediately start on the concoction. He was closing his eyes and rehearsing the process in his mind. After all, Zhuo Pingan only gave him enough herbs for one batch of pills. Even though he was a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he would still need to prepare himself before trying a new pill. Zhuo Pingan was not anxious as he waited silently by the side. In fact, Mo Wuji''s actions caused his heart to be more at ease. He had met several Pill Emperors who simply start and follow according to the pill formula, but ultimately most of them would meet with failure. Even if they succeeded, they would only get two runes out of the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill. To him, a Two Runes Glimpsing Pill was insufficient. To this kind of people that were so irresponsible with his immortal herbs, even though they were Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he would still cut them down. Don''t simply look at the fact that he''s a Grand Emperor. It wasn''t easy for him to obtain the Heavenly Desolate Grass. After all, he didn''t only need one to two strands of it. Moreover, in the recent years, he discovered that the Heavenly Desolate Grass was increasingly hard to find. This sort of immortal herb was completely unable to be farmed, so one used Heavenly Desolate Grass was one less grass. Only Pill Emperors that didn''t rush to concoct the pill, but took the time to analyse and rehearse the pill formula, were more reliable. The longer time they spent rehearsing, the higher the success rate in concocting the pill, and more runes would also be formed. Most Pill Emperors take half a year to a year to analyse the formula; only a rare few were able to do it within half a year. What left Zhuo Pingan disappointed was that Mo Wuji had only spent a day analysing before starting on the pill. To be honest, a day''s analysis was akin to not doing it at all. However, since he had already formed an agreement with Mo Wuji, he couldn''t renege on it. After Mo Wuji brought his pill furnace out, he ignited his Scholar¡¯s Heart. Scholar''s Heart was a Grade 7 immortal flame; the moment the flame appeared, Zhuo Pingan''s eyes went bright. There was no need to talk about Zhuo Pingan, even Han Long''s heart started pounding. They never expected that Mo Wuji would have such good stuff. The reason why Mo Wuji didn''t conceal anything was because he wanted Zhuo Pingan to be assured with his Pill Dao. That way, when Zhuo Pingan was protecting him, he would do so with greater effort. At the same time, Mo Wuji also knew that now that he had Da Huang, he no longer needed to be a person who curls his tails and hides his powers. Except for items like the Book of Luo and and Breath of Hongmeng, it wouldn''t be of much impact for him to reveal his capabilities. After cleaning the pill furnace multiple times, he threw the immortal herbs in. Zhuo Pingan had seen many Pill Emperors concocting the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill. By now, he was also quite familiar with the Pill formula. To concoct this pill, the first step was to purify the Heavenly Desolate Grass; the main reason why the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill was so hard to concoct was exactly because of the Heavenly Desolate Grass. Thus, it was important that the Heavenly Desolate Grass be the first to be purified. If the others were purified first before the Heavenly Desolate Grass, it might waste the previous efforts if the Heavenly Desolate Grass wasn''t purified properly; the essences would end up with too much impurities and the concoction would fail. In reality, it was also according to the pill formula to place the Heavenly Desolate Grass in first. Today was the first day he saw a pill refiner first place a herb other than the Heavenly Desolate Grass into the pill furnace. Instead of the Heaven Desolate Grass, he added the Rainbow Mulberry Stalk. When he saw that the first herb that Mo Wuji placed in the furnace was the Rainbow Mulberry Stalk, Zhuo Pingan''s face turned dark. He started to suspect that Mo Wuji was merely boasting previously. After all, Mo Wuji was truly too young. One must know that whether it was the Pill Dao or the Smithing Dao, they were the culmination of countless ages of experience. Mo Wuji was not even a thousand years old, was he really a Tier 7 Pill Emperor? As he played around this that thought, Mo Wuji had already threw the rest of the immortal herbs into the pill furnace. At this instant, the medicinal dregs were already being disposed out of the pill furnace; one could clearly see how fast Mo Wuji¡¯s purification was. In Zhuo Pingan¡¯s memories, other Pill Emperors would take at least 2 hours to purify the Heavenly Desolate Grass before placing the other herbs into the pill furnace. Then, they would take another two to four hours before discarding the medicinal dregs. Their speeds weren¡¯t as exaggerated as Mo Wuji¡¯s. He did not know that Mo Wuji could be said to be the number one herb purifier in the entire Immortal World. To Mo Wuji, the reason why he placed the Rainbow Mulberry Stalk in first wasn¡¯t because he wanted to be unconventional. He was clearer than any other pill refiner about the difficulty of purifying the Heavenly Desolate Grass. The reason why the Heavenly Desolate Grass was called so, was because of how the impurities intertwined with the medicinal essence. They were so strongly intertwined that they gave the impression of lasting together till the end of time. [1] The Heavenly Desolate Grass was completely unable to purify. Since it could not even be purified, then what more about pill concoction? Thus, in an average pill refiner¡¯s eyes, the Heavenly Desolate Grass could not be used for pills. Only Tier 7 Pill Emperors and above could grudgingly use the Heavenly Desolate Grass in pills. But whether or not they were deceiving others and themselves, only the Pill Emperors themselves know. Previously, Mo Wuji had tried purifying the Heavenly Desolate Grass before, so he know exactly how hard it was to purify. However, Mo Wuji was only a Tier 4 Pill King back then. Now, he was a Tier 7 Pill Emperor and his cultivation was vastly higher than what it was back then. Thus, Mo Wuji believed that he should at least be able to purify the Heavenly Desolate Grass to 90%. The reason why he placed the Rainbow Mulberry Stalk first was because the Rainbow Mulberry Stalk essence required simmering; it would not lose its spirituality because of a longer time. During the entire pill concocftion process, this step would only have a minor effect. However, to concoct the perfect Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill, Mo Wuji even factored this detail in. Four hours passed and Mo Wuji was done with his purification. It was just as he expected, now that his Pill Dao had improved and his cultivation had increased, refining the Heavenly Desolate Grass had become much simpler. The reason why he stopped was because he felt that he should have already purified the Heavenly Desolate Grass to 90%. If he were to continue purifying, he might reach 99%. When that happens, it would become a true Heavenly Nature Grass. However, Mo Wuji was not sure whether he could actually achieve that. Regardless of whether he could do it or not, he was not going to try it out now. Now, he did not intend to truly concoct a Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill, so he did not need to purify the Heavenly Desolate Grass to become a true Heavenly Nature Grass. Zhuo Pingan looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s complex hand seals as he continuously removed the medicinal dregs; in Zhuo Pingan¡¯s heart, he started to suspect whether the previous Pill Emperors were quacks, and only this Pill Master Mo was a true Pill Emperor? In reality, the difficulty of the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill wasn¡¯t in the concoction itself; its first difficulty was purifying the Heavenly Desolate Grass, and its second difficulty was injecting vitality into the pill. However, these two didn¡¯t pose any problems to Mo Wuji; a portion of his vitality from his vitality channel had already soundlessly entered into the pill furnace. No matter what, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t going to use his own body¡¯s vitality for Zhuo Pingan¡¯s pill. With the vitality entering the pill furnace, as well as the high purity of the immortal herbs, the pill concoction process became very simple. In another four hours, Mo Wuji waved his hand and six faint green Seven Runes Glimpsing Pills were sent into the jade plate that Mo Wuji prepared. The six pills each had five faint, grey runes, and they were brimming with vitality. "You really succeeded? And its unique grade Five Runes Glimpsing Pills?" Zhuo Pingan stood up agitatedly as he stared at the jade plate in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. If it was some other pill refiner, he would have already grabbed a pill and tried it. However, he slightly apprehensive towards Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji completely had no fear for a Grand Emperor like him, and Mo Wuji was someone with true capabilities. "Dao Friend Zhuo, you¡¯re wrong again. These pills look like they¡¯re unique grade, but they could barely even be called top grade. In fact, they should only be in the intermediate grade," Mo Wuji explained. Even though he had only concocted one batch of the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill, his understanding towards the pill was far more than Zhuo Pingan. If he wasn¡¯t even able to create a Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill with seven runes, how could it be unique grade? His Five Runes Glimpsing Pill should only be considered interemediate grade, and he was sure that those Four Runes Glimpsing Pills that Zhuo Pingan used previously were basically all low grade pills. "Pill Master Mo, can I try those pills?" Zhuo Pingan fidgeted with his hands, a hint of desire appeared in his eyes. The previously arrogant and threatening Grand Emperor had long disappeared. Mo Wuji passed all six Glimpsing Pills over, "I concocted these pills for you. Try one." Zhuo Pingan eagerly grabbed one Five Runes Glimpsing Pill and threw it into his mouth. In merely a few breaths time, an expression of disbelief appeared within his eyes. Immediately, his pale white skin seemed to have some additional red colour. Even Han Long could feel Zhuo Pingan¡¯s life force increasing. Moreover, there seemed to be something within Zhuo Pingan stabilising his life force. "Great pill. Pill Emperor Mo, previously I was blind. I almost missed out an opportunity with Pill Emperor Mo. I hope that Pill Emperor Mo would forgive me." It was not unexpected for a Grand Emperor to have this bit of open-mindedness. Moreover, Zhuo Pingan was truly contented at this moment; he had finally met a pill refiner that could help him concoct pills. He could finally see some hope of him recovering his health. Mo Wuji nodded his head. After waiting Zhuo Pingan to calm down from his excitement, Mo Wuji acted exhausted as he said, "Dao Friend Zhuo, concocting this Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill has a severe impact on my longevity. I feel a bit fatigued right now. It will take a long time before I can concoct the next batch of pills." [1] Until the end of time here is actually an idiom that contains the Chinese characters for Heavenly and Desolate. In literal terms, the idiom is talking about staying together till the heavens turn barren. Chapter 619: Ping Fan Chapter 619: Ping Fan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Zhuo Pingan was like a little chicken as he nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, we will naturally follow according to Pill Master Mo''s words. Moreover, these six Five Runes Glimpsing Pills are enough for me to last several years." Zhuo Pingan did not know that Mo Wuji was feigning it, because he knew that concocting the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill required a pill refiner''s vitality. That''s why he did not feel that following Mo Wuji for 20 years in exchange for Mo Wuji''s services was a huge price. Moreover, Mo Wuji still had to help him concoct the true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill twenty years later. "If Dao Friend Zhuo doesn''t have any matter to tend to, then please follow me to make a trip to the various Immortal Domains." When Mo Wuji saw that his pill had taken effect, as well as Zhuo Pingan''s attitude, he knew that he should not face any problem if he were to make such a request. Mo Wuji believed that with his Pill Dao standards, as well as Zhuo Pingan''s desire for the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill, even if he dragged this this fella around for a hundred years, he would still be absolutely willing to do it. However, Mo Wuji did not want to do that. The path to immortality was like sailing against the currents; it required fate and resilience. If he had these two peak experts constantly by his side, he would achieve everything smoothly without any danger or challenge; even if he were to become an Immortal Emperor, he would only be an average one. Only by sailing through adversity and facing different challenges would one be able to improve. Of course, within the danger and challenges, he might have to face the possibility of death. But since he had chosen the path of cultivation, Mo Wuji knew that this was necessary. Getting Zhuo Pingan as his bodyguard wasn''t merely because he wanted to protect himself, he also wanted to search for Cen Shuyin and make a trip back to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. For these two places, he would need to go there outrightly. And if he didn''t have any experts following him, he would definitely be killed. If he was lone, he did have some methods to avoid that b*stard Lun Cai. "I don''t have any matters to tend to. Is Dao Friend Mo thinking of going to Gods Immortal Domain?" Zhuo Pingan said unhesitantly. Even if he wasn''t personally in the Cape of Peace, his immortal crystals would still continue rolling in. In fact, even if Mo Wuji didn''t want him to tag along, he would want to follow Mo Wuji closely. If he were to lose contact with such a godly Pill Emperor like Mo Wuji, he would never be able to live with the regrets.He wanted to constantly be by Mo Wuji''s side for these twenty years. Mo Wuji shook his head, "I don''t need your help to deal with Lun Cai. When the time comes, I will go to him by myself¡­" Mo Wuji thought that Zhuo Pingan asked him about Gods Immortal Domain because Zhuo Pingan was worried about him searching for Lun Cai. Han Long, however, knew that Zhuo Pingan wasn''t worried about that. She hurriedly said, "Senior Zhuo is referring to the opening of the Gods Tower in Gods Immortal Domain. What he''s asking is whether you will be going to the Gods Tower." Mo Wuji jolted and asked hurriedly, "Han Long, you''re saying that Gods Immortal Domain''s Gods Tower will be opening soon?" Mo Wuji had two unique tokens on him; one was the Heaven Seeking Token and the other was the Universal Peak Token. The reason why he had these two tokens was because he promised the white whiskered elder back at Heaven Seeking Palace that he would take these two tokens to Gods Tower, then save Ji Li from the immortal sealing array. Since he had already made this promise, Mo Wuji did not intend to renege on it. Now that he knew that the Gods Tower was in the Gods Immortal Domain, and that it would be opening soon, Mo Wuji felt that he would have to make that trip to Gods Immortal Domain. "It should only be two to three years to the opening of Gods Tower. I heard that it''s extremely hard to enter the Gods Tower; everyone that entered would need to possess the Gods Token. It''s rumoured the Gods Tower was the battleground of ancient gods. As a result, there are several ruins and treasures inside. So, each placing to enter the Gods Tower is extremely precious. Typically, the big sects in Gods Immortal Domain are the ones in control of who gets the Gods Token," Han Long explained. When Mo Wuji heard Han Long''s explanation, he did not hesitate for a single moment as he said, "We will first handle some matters, then head to Gods Immortal Domain and host an auction. I don''t believe that a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor like me wouldn''t be able to obtain a Gods Token." Zhuo Pingan, who was acting ignorant by the side, sighed as he took out two black tokens and said, "I have two Gods Tokens here. I have been to Gods Tower before, there are indeed many treasures inside. However, it is also a place of great danger where one could easily perish. I''m giving these two tokens to Pill Master Mo. As for the auction, there''s no need to organise one." Deep in his heart, Zhuo Pingan did not wish for Mo Wuji to go to Gods Tower. However, he knew that if Mo Wuji was to publicly announce his status and even his ability to concoct unique grade Tier 7 pills, then it truly wasn''t difficult for Mo Wuji to obtain a Gods Token. Since that''s the case, he had no use hiding his Gods Tokens. After all, he did not want for Mo Wuji to announce his prowess with the Pill Dao. If other people know that Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor, then there would be too many people requesting Mo Wuji for pills. That would not be good for him. Mo Wuji was clear about what was going through Zhuo Pingan''s mind; he did not care too much about it. Now that Zhuo Pingan had taken out the tokens, he said delightedly, "Indeed, there are many benefits when being with an Immortal Emperor. Such a priceless token could be casually taken out just like that. Han Long, I will give one to you." "Thank you, Wuji." Han Long excitedly accepted the token. She had never thought that there would come a day when she could obtain the token to Gods Tower. This was simply unbelievable. One must know that such a thing could only be obtained by peak experts or peak sects. "There''s no need to be so courteous to one another. We''ll first go to Devil Moon Immortal School, then to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Our final destination will be Gods Tower," Mo Wuji said as he waved his hand towards Han Long. "Wuji, when Gods Tower opens, there will be many powerful sects present. You''re a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, and you have exceptional talent. I suggest that you join a powerful sect. That way, Emperor Lun Cai wouldn''t be able to do anything to you," Han Long said as she kept the Gods Token. She was especially clear of how talented Mo Wuji was. She really didn''t want a cultivator of such talent to get killed by an expert for no apparent reason. Zhuo Pingan was indeed very strong, but Zhuo Pingan would only follow and protect Mo Wuji for 20 years. To an immortal, 20 years were as short as a blink of an eye. After 20 years, Mo Wuji would no longer have the protection of an Immortal Emperor. What would he do then? When he heard Han Long''s words, Zhuo Pingan immediately frowned. He discovered that he detested this little girl, to actually come out with such a rotten idea. What''s so good about joining a sect? Being free and unfettered so much cooler. "I still believe that it''s better to be free and unrestrained. There''s so many stupid restrictions when you join a sect. There''s nothing good that would come from joining a sect." Zhuo Pingan did not want Mo Wuji to join a sect. Because Mo Wuji had an immortal puppet, he wouldn''t be in too much danger in Gods Tower. But the moment Mo Wuji joins a sect, then the sect will interfere with his interaction with Mo Wuji. That wouldn''t be any good to him. Mo Wuji did not respond immediately. Instead, he brought his flying shuttle out and said, "Everyone, hop on my flying shuttle then." After Zhuo Pingan boarded the flying shuttle, he waved his hand and a pathway opened in the array protecting the island. Thereafter, he said, "We can directly fly out." After Han Long got on the flying shuttle, Mo Wuji controlled the flying shuttle to charge out of the Cape of Peace. Only then, did he speak in a serious tone, "I don''t intend to join any sect. I intend to form my own sect. Originally, the sect was supposed to be called Tian Ji Sect. But now, I will call it Ping Fan. Tian Ji Sect will be a branch of my Ping Fan." Mo Wuji originally wanted to rebuild Tian Ji Sect. But now that he had certain success in the Pill Dao, he was able to temper his physique, he had stepped into the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, his own technique had been improved and he had accepted some disciples, Mo Wuji''s idea changed. He could ignore the fact that he was the not the one to personally establish the sect, but he could not ignore his legacy, and the legacy that he would pass down was not related to Tian Ji at all. Following this change in his attitude, Mo Wuji began to see things more clearly. Even if he rebuilt Tian Ji Sect, not every person of Tian Ji Sect would be grateful to him. Moreover, he wanted to pass down his own legacy, his Immortal Mortal legacy. Since his legacy was unrelated to Tian Ji Sect, if he were no longer around, would his disciples inherit Tian Ji Sect or inherit his Immortal Mortal Technique? The most terrifying prospect was if a sect head like Yuan Gu appeared in Tian Ji Sect, then the successors of his Immortal Mortal legacy might simply be extinguished. Whether it was from a public perspective or a private perspective, he would need to establish his own direct sect. As for Tian Ji Sect, it could be a branch of his Ping Fan. If the disciples of Tian Ji Sect don''t agree, then he would just cut that branch away. "Not bad, not bad, establishing your own sect is much better than being a guest at some other person''s house. Pill Master Mo, I support your decision to establish your own sect. When the time comes, I, Zhuo Pingan, will be there to support you. The name Ordinary [1] is full of character. We''ll go with that." When he heard that Mo Wuji wanted to establish his own sect, Zhuo Pingan did not hesitate to show his support. "Ordinary?" Han Long looked at Mo Wuji quizzically. What kind of sect would have such a name?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "It''s not Ordinary, but Ping Fan [1]. It''s the Fan from Sanskrit." "This seems to have some links to Buddhism?" Han Long was even more confused. According to her understanding of Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji did not seem to have any sacred arts of the Buddhist Dao among his skills. Mo Wuji laughed, "Actually, it is supposed to be Ordinary, but Ordinary doesn''t sound cool enough, so I changed it to Ping Fan. The technique that I cultivate is very ordinary, which was why I chose that name." Zhuo Pingan blushed slightly in embarrassment. But he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good, good. The name Ping Fan sounds more imposing; it has the grand demeanor of the Heavens and Earths." This time, even Shuai Guo could not help but roll his eyes, "I say, Dao Friend Pingan, aren''t your bootlicking skills a little too subpar? Even Da Huang is slightly better than you." When Da Huang heard that Shuai Guo was talking about it again, it immediately jerked its shoulder, throwing Shuai Guo off. Then, it grunted, "The most capable bootlicker here is you. I, Da Huang, don''t do such things; I depend on my true capabilities." When Han Long heard Mo Wuji''s words, she immediately recalled the Draining Immortal King Pill that Mo Wuji concocted. That pill was just as Mo Wuji said, ordinary without any form of dao aura or pill fragrance. However, the effects were still the same; when it first entered the mouth, it seemed to be some ordinary pill, but then, it displayed some unordinary effects. As she thought of this, Han Long smiled, "Pill Master Mo, if I don''t have anywhere else to go in the future, can I join your Ping Fan?" [1] Ordinary is also Ping Fan in Chinese. The Ping is the same but the Fan is different. Chapter 620: Luring Lun Cai Out Chapter 620: Luring Lun Cai Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Devil Moon Immortal School could be considered one of the big sects of Six Paths Immortal Domain. Even though it wasn¡¯t one of the peak sects, it was a sect that had an Immortal Emperor. When Mo Wuji and co. arrived at Devil Moon Immortal Sect, it no longer had its grandeur as a big sect. The sect¡¯s protecting array wasn¡¯t even repaired yet, and there was only one disciple standing guard at the entrance. As he stood there, he gave people the impression of defeat. "Do the few of you have some business here?" When this disciple saw Mo Wuji and co., he hurriedly bowed and asked modestly. Mo Wuji stopped, "I¡¯m here to find Moon Seeking Mountain¡¯s Summit Lord Shi Gulan. Please report our arrival." "Senior, Moon Seeking Mountain no longer exists in Devil Moon Immortal School, and Summit Lord Shi Gulan has disappeared without a trace." When this disciple heard that Mo Wuji was searching for Moon Seeking Mountain¡¯s Shi Gulan, his tone became even more modest. "Then is Lin Gu here?" Mo Wuji continued asking. That disciple replied, "Senior Sister Lin Gu was already gone for several years before the Moon Seeking Mountain itself was destroyed. She currently isn¡¯t in the immortal school." When he heard that Lin Gu hadn¡¯t returned to Moon Seeking Mountain, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart eased slightly. From this disciple¡¯s words, Mo Wuji could tell that Lin Gu had not returned since their trip to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji said to Zhuo Pingan, "I want to make a trip to Six Paths Ruins. Before we get to Six Paths Ruins, I still need to get some placings to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond." Zhuo Pingan did not know why Mo Wuji wanted to go to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, but when he heard that Mo Wuji wanted a placing, he said proudly, "There¡¯s no need. I have plenty of placings to enter Six Paths Ruins¡¯ Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. Let¡¯s head there straight away." Even though Mo Wuji still did not have any news about Cen Shuyin, he could not help but be impressed with the cards that these Grand Emperors had; they truly had the placings for everything. Previously, when he wanted to go to Gods Tower, Zhuo Pingan was able to take out two placings. Now, he wanted to go to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond and Zhuo Pingan even had the placings for that. From the looks of it, when he becomes powerful, he would need to keep these placings constantly by his side. That way, he would not need to search all over for one if he ever needed it. ¡­ Three months later, the group was in a private room in Starlying Resthouse, the biggest immortal resthouse in Starlying Immortal City. All three of them were present. Additionally, Da Huang was standing behind Mo Wuji. At this moment, even the garrulous and talkative Shuai Guo did not dare to speak. Everyone could tell that Mo Wuji was in a bad mood. Even though Starlying Resthouse¡¯s immortal wine was amazing, Mo Wuji did not even touch the wine gourd in front of him. Zhuo Pingan was also silent; he knew that Mo Wuji did not find the person he was looking for in the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. In his perspective, this matter wasn¡¯t as important as a bad constipation. If the two of them didn¡¯t already have an agreement, he really would have looked down on such a fainthearted Pill Emperor. Han Long also knew that Mo Wuji was looking for a person called Cen Shuyin. She saw that the atmosphere was slightly gloomy, so she sighed and said, "Wuji, perhaps Shuyin had already left the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. In the future, when you establish your sect, she would definitely receive news about it and she would find you at Ping Fan Sect." Previously, Mo Wuji promised her that she could join Ping Fan as long as she was willing too. Since then, she had subconsciously treated Ping Fan as her own sect. Zhuo Pingan sneered in his heart. He did not know exactly how Mo Wuji was able to escape unscathed after entering the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, but he was sure that Mo Wuji had some unique methods. However, he was sure that few would have methods like Mo Wuji. It was unlikely that Cen Shuyin and Lin Gu had left; they were probably already buried deep in the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond. If he was the one that fell into a place like that, even he would have to put in 120% of his effort. Even then, he would still face the danger of death. However, he was lazy to say such words to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s true. Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s head over to Gods Immortal Domain first. Then we would find a suitable location to establish Ping Fan." Originally, Mo Wuji intended to make a trip to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. But after his trip to Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, he felt that it would be useless for him to go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Any lucky survivors of Tian Ji Pill Court were unlikely to remain in Sharphorn. "Good. Pill Emperor Mo is truly an adaptable person. Starlying Immortal City was plenty of transfer arrays. There¡¯s even one that leads to Gods Immortal Domain. We can head over any time you want." Zhuo Pingan purposely emphasized on the word ¡®Good¡¯. This time, even Da Huang shot Zhuo Pingan a look of disdain. After interacting with Shuai Guo, Da Huang had also become sharp and sarcastic with its words. Zhuo Pingan¡¯s noob bootlicking really made it cringe. Mo Wuji stood up, "Since that¡¯s the case, we¡¯ll head to Gods Immortal Domain now¡­" "Bang!" Before Mo Wuji could even finish his sentence, the seal over their private room was smashed apart. A green faced man appeared in the room. He looked coldly at Mo Wuji, then swept his gaze across Zhuo Pingan and Han Long. As for the immortal puppet and Shuai Guo, he directly disregarded them. When he looked at Zhuo Pingan¡¯s sickly appearance, he also dismissed him. Only Han Long¡¯s Immortal King aura left him slighly shocked. "Han Long, it looks like someone doesn¡¯t want us to go to Gods Immortal Domain." Mo Wuji could see through this green faced man¡¯s cultivation; he was also in the Immortal King Stage, and his cultivation was even slightly higher than Han Long¡¯s. The green faced man then brought his gaze back on Mo Wuji. His voice was icy cold as he said, "You won¡¯t be going anywhere. You will follow this king back to Unfettered Emperor Palace. Remember, this king¡¯s name is Lai Yi." "You are Lun Cai¡¯s lackey?" Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding when he heard the Unfettered Emperor Palace. "Courting death. How dare you be to disrepectful to a Grand Emperor. Just because¡­" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Lai Yi was instantly infuriated. When Mo Wuji heard that this fella was Lun Cai¡¯s lackey, why would he still want to be polite? Before Lai Yi could finish speaking, he had already slashed forward. Anger and fury flashed across Lai Yi¡¯s eyes. He heard that Mo Wuji was only a Xuan Immortal, but this Xuan Immortal actually dared to attack an Immortal King like him? If not for the fact that this fella was needed to treat the Emperor¡¯s concubine, he would have directly smashed Mo Wuji¡¯s brain into juice. This slash of Mo Wuji¡¯s was not sharp. In fact, it did not contain any sacred art dao energy, only killing intent. This slash, to Lai Yi, would only hurt as much as an itch. Lai Yi¡¯s lips curved into a smile of contempt. He did not even move as he intended to use his immortal elemental energy to suspend Mo Wuji in the air. He had a good idea, but when Lai Yi was conjuring his immortal elemental energy, he found that his energy had been sealed by a majestic and boundless aura. He had been following by Grand Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s side for so many years, how could he not know that this was the aura of an Immortal Emperor? Before Lai Yi could even react, Mo Wuji¡¯s blunt saber light landed on his skull, directly slashing him in half. Immediately after, a lightning bolt slammed down on him. Lai Yi¡¯s primordial spirit wasn¡¯t even able to flow out before it was exploded by the lightning bolt. Mo Wuji nodded towards Zhuo Pingan. Just now, he had made a sudden and casual move because he wanted to see whether Zhuo Pingan was constantly ready to assist him. Indeed, Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t disappoint him. The moment he slashed with his saber, Zhuo Pingan¡¯s Immortal Emperor Domain had already restrained Lai Yi. That way, Mo Wuji¡¯s saber was easily able to decapitate Lai Yi. "Crash!" After killing Lai Yi, Mo Wuji continued to slash randomly with his saber light. Starlying Resthouse¡¯s array had been completely ripped apart. The second floor of the resthouse collapsed, followed by the third floor. Han Long lowered her head. She was sure that Mo Wuji was doing this intentionally. Mo Wuji was indeed doing this intentionally. He had just entered the resthouse and Lai Yi had already come chasing after him. Naturally, he could deduce that someone in the resthouse had leaked news about him. This actually wasn¡¯t the reason why Mo Wuji was so angry at the resthouse. The main reason was that Lai Yi was even able to find his private room. One thing could be confirmed, the resthouse had specifically told Lai Yi of his location, and had even allowed Lai Yi to battle him. Logically, they were the customers of the resthouse. If someone was looking for them, even if the resthouse wasn¡¯t able to stop the other party, they should have at least informed him about it first; even a early warning would have been good. "Friend, why are you purposely destroying my Starlying Resthouse?" A middle-aged man landed in front of Mo Wuji and co. Noticing Lai Yi¡¯s corpse on the floor, he spoke with an especially warm tone. The Starlying Resthouse¡¯s second and third floor had collapsed. Everyone, including Mo Wuji and co., were all in the first floor hall. Starlying Resthouse was one of the best resthouses in Starlying Immortal City. Naturally, this resthouse would have a strong backer. Mo Wuji had actually destroyed the second and third floor of such a resthouse. Thus, many cultivators remained in the first floor hall, to see who exactly was the tyrant that dared to do such a thing. Mo Wuji unhurriedly placed his saber on his back. Then he said, "These words of yours are wrong. Which one of your eyes saw me destroying the resthouse? Just now, that lackey of Lun Cai¡¯s tried to attack me. I could not help but retaliate, which was why I accidentally broke some tiles and bricks. This fella is an Immortal King. I guess I will have to compensate somehow, so I will give his corpse to your Starlying Resthouse." As Mo Wuji finished speaking, he opened his palm and Lai Yi¡¯s storage ring got drawn into his hand. Lun Cai¡¯s lackey? When they heard these words, a majority of the immortals hurriedly retreated, then silently left the resthouse. It was better if they avoided this kind of trouble. Who didn¡¯t know that Lun Cai was a mad man. If they dared to stay here to watch the show, Lun Cai might suddenly appear and kill each and every last one of them. This person was clearly courting trouble. The middle-aged monk¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. Anyone that would find trouble with Lun Cai was not someone his Starlying Resthouse could offend. Mo Wuji was indeed courting trouble. He was waiting here for Lun Cai. He believed that with if Lun Cai was nearby, he would immediately receive news of his lackey¡¯s death and immediately come here. This place was a suitable place to have a battle with Lun Cai. In fact, he was afraid that Lun Cai wouldn¡¯t come. After all, he would eventually have to battle with Lun Cai. If Lun Cai didn¡¯t come, then this battle would have to be postponed at Gods Immortal Domain. But Lun Cai was a powerhouse of Gods Immortal Domain. Fighting there would be extremely disadvantageous to him. "You are truly bold. You actually dared to kill my, Lun Cai¡¯s, man. Today, let this emperor see how robust your soul is." A faint voice could be heard in the distance. Right when this voice was heard, a tall and thin man with a crown on his head started to walk towards them from mid air. Chapter 621: Gods Heavenly Chasm Chapter 621: Gods Heavenly Chasm Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Almost the same instant that Grand Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s voice appeared, the cultivators that were looking from the sidelines all left. When an Immortal Emperor came raging, would you stay there to wait for death? Moreover, this Immortal Emperor was one well known for having a weird temperament, Grand Emperor Lun Cai. "Da Huang, remember what I said. When the time comes you must give that guy a dirty blow." Mo Wuji slashed his saber at Grand Emperor Lun Cai right after sending this message to Da Huang. The saber radiance rose to five meters high, and illuminated a radius of tens of meters. "Ha ha ha, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s saber radiance, Lun Cai broke into a laugh. This was indeed the first time he met an ant that dared to attack him. However, before he could finish, he had to swallow his words, because at the same time, a blanket of dense aura came pressing down on him. It directly suppressed his domain, following which a fan came swinging down on his head, with the countless fan spines forming a formation of spears that secured the space between them while blasting straight at Lun Cai. Every single fan spine encompassed the frightening roar of a type of ancient beast, seemingly swallowing up the heaven and earth, and Lun Cai was just a mere leaf within this space. When Lun Cai appeared, even if Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t present, Zhuo Pingan would have attacked anyway. This b*stard destroyed a good part of his Cape of Peace and randomly killed people there, which made him lose a lot of face. Hence, he had to get some payback today. "It¡¯s you¡­" Once Zhuo Pingan made his move, Lun Cai recognised that this sickly scholar was him, a Grand Emperor no weaker than him. After seeing Zhuo Pingan, Lun Cai¡¯s heart sank. If Mo Wuji had Zhuo Pingan¡¯s protection, he really couldn¡¯t take him away. Regardless whether he could bring Mo Wuji away or not, anyone that made a move against him, Lun Cai, had to die. Also, no matter how impressive Zhuo Pingan was, he would only be able to hide at his Cape of Peace. A Blazing Babel Pillar was lifted up by Lun Cai, and it exploded instantly, filling the entire area with flames, and causing small spatial cracks. The sea of flames covered half of the sky of Starlying Immortal City. Countless buildings turned to dust under the effects of the Blazing Babel pillar. Deep rumbling echoed throughout the city, and booming sounds of Zhuo Pingan¡¯s fan spines clashing with the sea of flames could be head periodically. In such a large scale battle, other than the initial attack, Mo Wuji could not interfere at all. Han Long similarly shied to one side. After the both of them backed up, Da Huang stepped forward instead. Wild immortal elemental energy continuously exploded around his body, and the flames of the Blazing Babel Pillar swept over his body one wave after another, but to him, they were no different from someone scratching an itch of his. He always kept Mo Wuji¡¯s words in mind: to strike this noble piece of sh*t with all his strength when the moment was right. "Zhuo Pingan, what do you want¡­" The Blazing Babel Pillar almost engulfed the entire Starlying Immortal City, but Zhuo Pingan¡¯s fan was still not affected. Lun Cai clearly knew that this situation was disadvantageous to him. Even if it were advantageous, he wouldn¡¯t be able to kill Zhuo Pingan. One could say that once he met Zhuo Pingan, there wasn¡¯t much difference whether he fought this battle or not. However, Zhuo Pingan did not speak. He knew that based on Mo Wuji¡¯s style, if he didn¡¯t take this chance to fight Lun Cai one on one now, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take on Grand Emperor Lun Cai either. Indeed, Zhuo Pingan¡¯s guess was spot on. Lun Cai stopped mid sentence as he felt an endless wave of immortal elemental energy coming his way. No, this elemental energy was even a little stronger than immortal elemental energy. Even Zhuo Pingan might not have been able to create such frightening power. Could this be another Grand Immortal Emperor? In response, Lun Cai wildly tore at the restrictions on him, but no matter how wild he was, it was still a little too late. "Boom!" Da Huang¡¯s fist landed on Lun Cai¡¯s chest, creating a crater of blood. Lun Cai spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body twisted a few times in mid air before disappearing completely. As Lun Cai vanished, so did the Blazing Babel Pillar. If it weren¡¯t for the scene of destruction left behind and the countless buildings that were incinerated, everyone might have thought that nothing had happened. They had left as quickly as they arrived. "Let¡¯s go, we can¡¯t use the transfer array here anymore. Everyone, board my flying ship, we¡¯ll fly straight to the Gods Immortal Domain." Zhuo Pingan had become much paler after he landed on the ground. "Roger." Mo Wuji replied. Although they didn¡¯t manage to kill Lun Cai this time, but at least he got seriously injured. In the near future, this guy would definitely not dare to act against him. While Mo Wuji really wanted to find an opportunity to exact revenge against Lun Cai, but he knew that the time was not ripe yet. ¡­ Heavenly Chasm City. In the entire Gods Immortal Domain, this was the most famous city. The Heavenly Chasm City was not only famous because it was big, but because it was close to the number one heavenly chasm in the Immortal World: Gods Heavenly Chasm. It was rumored that this heavenly chasm was left behind after the War of the Gods. No one knew how long or wide this heavenly chasm was. All that was known about it was that this heavenly chasm passed through the Gods Immortal Domain, and extended into the endless void. As for its width, no one could really cross the Gods Heavenly Chasm, and thus no one knew what domain was at the other side. All that was known was that the opposite side of the heavenly chasm would regularly face spatial disturbances, which would bring top grade equipment forging materials and immortal herbs to the Gods Immortal Domain. On top of that, there were some floating pieces of land in Gods Heavenly Chasm where you could find many good stuff normally. As a result, countless people flocked to this area to try their luck, or to purchase some immortal herbs or materials. Naturally, the Heavenly Chasm City flourished with activity, but all this was not what really propelled the city to fame. Most immortals came for the Gods Tower, which was located in the center of the Gods Heavenly Chasm. Before the Gods Tower opened, its surrounding area remained blurry, and only after it opened up would it become clear for all to see. Mo Wuji and co. arrived outside of Heavenly Chasm City, and the first thing they saw wass a gigantic display array outside of the city. The word ¡®Invitation¡¯ was at the top of the array, followed by the following message below, "Gods Tower is about to open. Heavenly Chasm Resthouse welcomes all immortal friends coming to Gods Immortal Domain. In the three years before Gods Tower opens, there will be a large scale trade forum at the hall on the top floor of Heavenly Chasm Resthouse at the end of the ninth month. As long as you are staying at the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, you will be able to enter for free." "The Gods Immortal Domain sure are generous, to actually provide free lodging. Just that we don¡¯t know what the conditions for that are." Mo Wuji gave rare words of praise after seeing the larg display array. He was very clear that in such a situation, resthouses would be the most profitable, and this was when they could strike it rich. Having gone into many secret domains in the past, including the opening of Broken World¡¯s third level, Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition, etcetera. The most expensive thing was always accomodation. "He he, generous? Wait till you¡¯ve moved in, then you¡¯ll know how well Heavenly Chasm Resthouse does business. But back to your point, the way that Heavenly Chasm Resthouse does things is very commendable. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to find somewhere to stay at this kind of time. Moreover, Heavenly Chasm Resthouse is the number one resthouse in Heavenly Chasm City, so they weren¡¯t boasting about that." Zhuo Pingan casually commented. Indeed, Mo Wuji agreed with Zhuo Pingan¡¯s comments. With so many people coming and going, it would be rather difficult to find a slot in an above average resthouse. ¡­ Heavenly Chasm Resthouse was not boasting indeed. The moment Mo Wuji set foot into the resthouse, he could sense extremely dense immortal spiritual energy. The entire resthouse was very grand and spacious too. "Fellow dao friends, Heavenly Chasm Resthouse is currently only serving guests who have a Gods Token, so could you please¡­" Once Mo Wuji and co. entered the place, they were promptly stopped by a member of staff. Before the guy could even finish speaking, Mo Wuji took out his Gods Token and said, "We are guests who have Gods Tokens. Three rooms please." Without any prompting from the staff member, Han Long took out her own Gods Token, while Zhuo Pingan drew out a black card. After the staff member saw the black card, he suddenly became much more respectful. As fast as he could, he helped the three of them check in with their Gods Token numbers, and brought them upstairs. "The room is indeed quite good." After Mo Wuji entered the room, he nodded his head while praising it. Not only did the room have dense immortal spiritual energy, there were many different types of cultivation rooms that came with it. The staff member spoke with a smile, "This is our resthouse¡¯s VIP room. Since the three of you are VIPs, it¡¯s only natural that you are allocated the VIP room. I¡¯ll make a move first, if you need anything, just call for me." Once the staff member left, Mo Wuji chuckled, "It¡¯s rather good to have an Immortal Emperor travelling with you, we even got the VIP room for free." Zhuo Pingan replied, "Next month it will be the end of the ninth month. There¡¯s many good things at the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse¡¯s trade forum. I suggest that you refine some top grade Tier 7 immortal pills, otherwise you¡¯ll have nothing to exchange for something that you want." Knowing that Mo Wuji would not miss out on such an opportunity, Zhuo Pingan casually dropped some hints, giving him a free favour. Even without Zhou Pingan¡¯s reminder, Mo Wuji already planned to attend the trade forum at the end of the ninth month. Those who could stay in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse were obviously not ordinary people. If they weren¡¯t Immortal Emperors, then they would be a leader of their own area. Top grade items would only appear with such people. As he was in Grand Yi Immortal Stage, the cultivation resources he needed were of higher quality, so there wouldn¡¯t be a point to attend normal trade forums. On top of that, he wanted to promote himself as a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor. If he were alone, then he wouldn¡¯t have cared whether his reputation was good or bad. But now that he wanted to build a sect, it couldn¡¯t be done just with words. He had to have a certain status, and at the same time also have a proper network of connections. For his status, he did not even fear Lun Cai. And for connections, he would naturally rely on his status as a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor. Chapter 622: Scr*w Off Chapter 622: Scr*w Off Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor, he was already well versed in refining Tier 7 immortal pills. Within a few day¡¯s time, the pills he concocted included the Draining Immortal King Pill, Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill, Green Bodhi Pill, and tens of other valuable Tier 7 immortal pills. Every single one of them were unique grade without exception. There was still a good half a month before the end of the ninth month, but just as he stopped making Tier 7 immortal pills and was about to start to try concocting Tier 8 immortal pills, a voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s Castellan, Ku Zhu, welcomes all esteemed immortal friends to Heavenly Chasm City. Heavenly Chasm Resthouse set the exchange forum to be held at the end of this month, because Master Xu has come out from closed door cultivation and successfully advanced to Grade 9 Smith Emperor. Master Xu intends to forge an extremely important magic treasure, and came to Heavenly Chasm City as a guest. To welcome him, and to entertain all of the immortal friends staying in Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, the exchange forum will be brought forward to tonight. Other than the immortal friends from Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, some other immortal friends from Heavenly Chasm City will get the chance to join in. Finally, I hope that all friends that made their way here will be able to leave satisfied." Regarding when the exchange forum would be held, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care. What he really cared about was Master Xu, who actually was a Grade 9 Smith Emperor. Wouldn¡¯t this mean that Master Xu could forge Grade 9 immortal equipment? Although he had just started learning smithing, but he could only forge Grade 2 immortal equipment at best. How revered a guest an Smith Emperor that could forge Grade 9 immortal equipment must be, Mo Wuji could imagine. Just for this Smith Emperor, Heavenly Chasm Resthouse brought forward the exchange forum, even inviting all experts in Heavenly Chasm City. All this made sense. To Mo Wuji, if he could get acquainted with this Master Xu, it would benefit him tremendously. That grey saber had already become insufficient for his uses, and now he had the Half Moon Halberd Blade and the Tian Ji Pole, so if he could combine both items into a top grade halberd, it would be the best outcome for him. All of his blade dao sacred arts, Grand Desert, Winding River, Setting Sun, when unleashed with a halberd would have a sort of oppressive and grand aura about it. After all, the halberd was the true king of the battlefield. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji quickly packed up his pill furnace and changed into a fresh set of clothes, deciding to leave for the exchange forum¡¯s location. "Pill Master Mo is preparing to go to the exchange forum now?" Once Mo Wuji opened the restrictions on his door, Zhuo Pingan was standing right outside his doorway. He nodded, "Yes, Dao Friend Zhuo, let¡¯s go over together." However, Zhuo Pingan shook his head, "I¡¯m not going. This exchange forum doesn¡¯t have much that¡¯s worth exchanging for me. Moreover, such exchange forums are very safe, so even if Da Huang doesn¡¯t tag along, no one will dare to do anything to you. I¡¯m just here to remind you, no matter what, do not offend Xu Suren." "Xu Suren?" Mo Wuji asked with a puzzled tone. Zhuo Pingan nodded his head, "Xu Suren is that Master Xu, the Grade 9 Smith Emperor. You just have to remember what I said. He can¡¯t be compared to Lun Cai. For Lun Cai, if you offended him, then that¡¯s about it. But if you offend Xu Suren, unless you¡¯re already not in Gods Immortal Domain, otherwise it would be very difficult to leave Gods Immortal Domain." "Dao Friend Zhuo, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m already intending to make friends with him, so how could I offend him?" Mo Wuji immediately replied. If what Zhuo Pingan said was true, then all the more he had to get acquainted with Master Xu. Why would he offend a Smith Emperor with such power? Just that this guy¡¯s name had such an ordinary feel to it, to be actually named Xu Suren [1]. "Wuji, since Elder Zhuo is not going, why don¡¯t we go over together. There¡¯s bound to be many people there tonight, so if we¡¯re late, we might have to sit in the corner." Han Long swiftly approached them. At such an exchange forum, Han Long would very likely not exchange anything, but for such an event, she really wanted to go to take a look. One could imagine that those who attended such an exchange forum were top notch experts from various large Immortal Domains, or at least people who were the leaders of some large organisation. "Good, let¡¯s go Da Huang." Mo Wuji patted Da Huang who was on his side, walking towards the top floor with Han Long. Even if it were safe, he wouldn¡¯t allow Da Huang to leave his side. As for Shuai Guo, there wasn¡¯t much use for him to attend such a function, so he was sent into te Undying World. ¡­ Heavenly Chasm Resthouse¡¯s top floor¡¯s doors had already been opened, and over 10 beautiful immortal women of Xuan Immortal and above were lined up on both sides. These immortal women seemed to have been handpicked, and if you picked any one of them by random, that woman would still be prettier than Han Long, who was already considered rather ravishing. Mo Wuji walked through the front door with Han Long, and no one checked the identity cards. In reality, as long as one could enter Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, one would have qualified to attend this exchange forum. The interior of exchange forum location was like a rather flat pot, with a large piece of white jade of radius three meters in the center. All of the seats surrounded this large piece of white jade, and extended outwards row by row, from low to high. Other than the first two rows, the seats had been occupied to the fifth row already. Hence Mo Wuji quickly brought Han Long to sit at a more prominent spot at the fifth row. There were many seats here, but the space in the room was definitely sufficient. Moreover, there was a white jade table in front of every seat. A few immortal women slid between the rows non-stop, serving tea and water for the people who were seated. In such spacious environment, there would be no issues even if one wanted to move around freely. Although this exchange forum didn¡¯t really look like some social event, but with the amount of space and level of service provided, it wasn¡¯t much different from one. Many immortals were even bringing cups of wine and going around to chit chat with other people. The moment Mo Wuji and Han Long sat down, tens of eyes turned their way immediately. While the rest of the room still had vacant seats, the fifth row was considered to be one of the front rows, which was not somewhere all those that arrived early could sit at. And Han Long¡¯s cultivation level of Immortal King might have had some weight in a small town, but here, it was nothing to write home about. There were simply too many Immortal Reverents and Immortal Kings around. Even Immortal Emperors could be spotted from time to time. "Greetings, my name is Yan Wei. I¡¯m from Luo Ling Immortal Domain¡¯s Waterfall Immortal Sect. May I ask how I should address my fellow dao friend? And which upper immortal estate you¡¯re from?" Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t sat down for long before a young man behind him took the initiative to ask him some questions while bowing respectfully. This guy was actually an Immortal King, which made Mo Wuji quite shocked. Yan Wei didn¡¯t look like a talented person, and was wihout much spirituality, but in the end he was an Immortal King. It seemed like Yan Wei was a little younger than Han Long too. Mo Wuji responded by bowing respectfully as well, "I¡¯m Mo Wuji, a rogue cultivator. This is my friend Han Long, also a rogue cultivator." As for the Waterfall Immortal Sect, Mo Wuji had heard of it before. Their sect head, Immortal Emperor Wen Lan, whose dao was created from a waterfalls, advanced to Immortal Emperor before subsequently founding the Waterfall Immortal Sect. The sect itself wasn¡¯t a small one. At the same time, Han Long could sense that Yan Wei¡¯s strength was higher than her own, hence she swiftly returned the bow. "Dao Friend Mo, you¡¯re a rogue cultivator?" Upon hearing that Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator, Yan Wei was stunned momentarily. A rogue cultivator dared to seat at the fifth row? He dared to sit on the sixth row not because he was an Immortal King, but as the Waterfall Immortal Sect was at least a large sect with an Immortal Emperor. Moreover the sect founding sect head of Waterfall Immortal Sect was Immortal Empress Wen Lan, one of the famous Immortal Emperors of the seven great immortal domains. "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m a rogue cultivator." Mo Wuji replied. This caused Yan Wei¡¯s expression to change slightly, and he spoke in a hushed tone, "Dao Friend Mo, if you trust me, Dao Friend Han and you should occupy seats from the 10th row onwards." When Mo Wuji turned around to take a look, in the short period of time, the first ten rows had already been fully occupied. Sitting at a seat further back wasn¡¯t something he was very keen on doing either. He had a motive for coming here, and that was to promote his upcoming new sect. If he were so low key, what sect could he set up then? Before Mo Wuji could say that he was comfortable in his current seat, a gentle voice appeared by his ears, "Friends, would you be willing to give up these two seats for me. I¡¯ll naturally not disadvantage you either." A slightly pale youth stood in front of Mo Wuji and spoke with a smile on his face. Beside this youth was a lady wearing a light green dress. After hearing this guy¡¯s words, Mo Wuji knew that he had heard what Yan Wei said, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even dare to ask for the seat. Even if he wanted to, he would have to ask about Mo Wuji¡¯s background first. On the other hand, the lady was extremely beautiful, and based on Mo Wuji¡¯s estimates, she wouldn¡¯t lose out to Cen Shuyin at all. It seemed like this youth wanted to find a seat in the front rows for the pretty lady. Seeing that Mo Wuji did not answer, the youth began to frown, and asked once more while bowing respectfully, "I¡¯m Yan Zhenjiang, from Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s Dao Seeking Palace. This is Green Immortal house¡¯s Mo Xianmo. If you¡¯re willing to give me some face, I will owe you a favour." "Dao Friend Mo, Dao Seeking Palace is one of the big sects in Gods Immortal Domain. Its strength is unparalleled. If we offend Dao Seeking Palace, it would be difficult for a rogue cultivator to leave Gods Immortal Domain. Green Immortal house is even more well connected, and has greater influence in Gods Immortal Domain than Dao Seeking Palace. That Mo Xianmo is also one of the seven immortal women of Green Immortal House." Yan Wei frantically sent a message to Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. Gazing at Mo Xianmo, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t believe that he would find someone of the same clan around here. But as she saw that Mo Wuji was looking away, she frowned slightly, with a tinge of disdain appearing in her eyes. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even care about Mo Xianmo¡¯s look of disdain. It was only a surname, so this woman was still equivalent to a stranger, hence he casually replied, "O¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t intend to give up my seat. Both of you please find a seat somewhere else." "Don¡¯t try to push your luck." Yan Zhenjiang said. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s position did not change, hence his expression immediately changed. He had gone through so much trouble to invite one of the seven immortal women of Green Immortal house, and wanted to use the exchange forum to get acquainted with her. Who knew a rogue cultivator wouldn¡¯t even give up a seat to him. In his original plans, when he, a member of Dao Seeking Palace, asked a rogue cultivator to give up a seat for him, the rogue cultivator should have happily stood up and bowed respectfully while vacating the seat. But now not only was there no bowing, but the rogue cultivator had given him a slap to the face. "Scr*w off." Mo Wuji scolded directly. His gaze never even fell on Yan Zhenjiang, and had always been fixated on Lun Cai who was walking over, while at the same time, Da Huang was preparing to attack. He could ignore Yan Zhenjiang, but not Lun Cai. Who knew whether that psychopath would start attacking him here? [1] The Suren in Xu Suren is Ë×ÈË, which means ordinary man. Chapter 623: Scr*w Off Again Chapter 623: Scr*w Off Again Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Eh, it¡¯s you?" A surprised voice broke Mo Wuji¡¯s concentration. A beautiful white haired woman walked over swiftly, and looking at the happiness in her eyes, one could sense how elated she was to see Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew this white haired woman, and her name was Nai He. He also knew why she was so happy to see him: because he had the Immortal Seeking Token and Universal Peak Token. Thus, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t that excited to see her. Just based on the fact that Nai He wanted the two tokens on him, he didn¡¯t have anything to say to her, much less after they clashed in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. This woman was rather talented, to have reached Grand Yi Immortal Stage just like him after a short period of time. "Junior Sister Nai He, you know him?" Yan Zhenjiang naturally knew Nai He, but when he saw her so excited upon arriving, he became a little suspicious about whether Mo Wuji was truly a rogue cultivator. Yan Zhenjiang was aware of Nai He¡¯s background as one of Gods Immortal Sect¡¯s core disciples. Who would actually dare to claim that Gods Immortal Sect was lousy while inside of Gods Immortal Domain? Gods Immortal Sect was once the top sect in Gods Immortal Domain, and even though it had fallen from its peak, it was still one of the large sects. This sort of large sect had very strong foundations, so it could rise again at any moment. Hence, although Dao Seeking Palace was very popular now, Yan Zhenjiang couldn¡¯t be disrespectful towards Nai He. "Pill Master Mo, greetings from Emperor Lun Cai." At this moment, Grand Emperor Lun Cai also walked over, and to Mo Wuji¡¯s surprise, Grand Emperor Lun Cai actually bowed respectfully towards him. Regardless whether it was Nai He, Yan Zhenjiang, or Mo Xianmo, all of them were stunned. How could they not know who Grand Emperor Lun Cai was? This was a rather bipolar Grand Immortal Emperor with an eccentric side. Moreover, he was also extremely strong, and loved to do things that angered others. Finding absurd reasons to kill someone was not beyond him. So why would such a person bow respectfully towards Mo Wuji, a mere rogue cultivator? Did they see things wrongly? "Grand, Grand Emperor¡­" Yan Zhenjiang stuttered as he bowed respectfully, while Nai He and Mo Xianmo followed suit at the side, not even daring to breath. Dao Seeking Palace, Gods Immortal Sect, and Green Immortal House did not fear Lun Cai, but sects were sects, and they were themselves. If Lun Cai¡¯s unusual temperament got triggered, what would stop him from killing them? With a casual strike they would be disabled, and no one would listen to their cries of bitterness. In her heart, Nai He regretted. Once she saw Mo Wuji, she immediately lost sight of her surroundings. If she had seen Grand Emperor Lun Cai earlier, she definitely would not have come for Mo Wuji that quickly. Since Mo Wuji had come here, he would not leave that soon. She was equally shocked about how Lun Cai treated Mo Wuji too, as she knew much more about what happened between Lun Cai and Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji was a Honoured Grade Immortal King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, it would be impossible for Lun Cai to bow respectfully to him. So what exactly was going on today? By the next moment, most of the people¡¯s attention was focused towards Mo Wuji¡¯s area. "I know that your name is Lun Cai, there¡¯s no need for introduction." Mo Wuji stood up, and went one step back, while Da Huang took one step forward at the same time. Now Da Huang, who was originally behind Mo Wuji, was half a step in front of Mo Wuji. The reason he stood up was not out of respect for Lun Cai, but out of worry that once Lun Cai attacked, he would lose the initiative by being seated. As for Lun Cai¡¯s bowing, Mo Wuji knew what was going on. In his heart, his respect for Lun Cai grew. This guy actually liked his concubine that much, to the point that he could put aside his pride as an Immortal Emperor to bow respectfully at Mo Wuji. However, the enmity between Mo Wuji and Lun Cai could not be resolved through apologies. Someone that killed his friends, had to pay with blood. "I offended you previously because my beloved concubine was severely ill. I would like to invite you to lend a helping hand as a doctor, considering that we¡¯re all on the same path of immortal dao." After speaking, Lun Cai bowed respectfully once more. Mo Wuji stared coldly at Lun Cai. If this were anywhere else, he would immediately summon Zhuo Pingan, and kill this bast*rd. Cure your beloved concubine? Ha ha, Lun Cai, you must be joking. As the surrounding crowd saw Mo Wuji remain silent, they were very worried for him. Grand Emperor Lun Cai actually treated an ant-like character with such dignity and respect, but this ant didn¡¯t even care in the slightest. While this place had rather strict rules, if Lun Cai killed Mo Wuji, nothing would happen to him at all, and he would still be able to attend the exchange forum. Sometimes things like rules were like a circle, and there would always be some people outside of this circle. Lun Cai was one of the experts outside of the circle. "Pill Master Mo, you should reply Grand Emperor quickly¡­" Nai He could sense the killing intent emanating from Lun Cai, hence she frantically sent a message to Mo Wuji. Once Mo Wuji was killed, the items on him would be taken away by Lun Cai for sure, so she wouldn¡¯t be able to get anything. Similarly, Mo Wuji could feel Lun Cai¡¯s killing intent, but he was not afraid. He and Da Huang already had a plan. If Lun Cai dared to make a move on them, they wouldn¡¯t allow him to leave as easily as before. As long as Da Huang could occupy Lun Cai, Zhuo Pingan would come within a breath¡¯s time. Then he would take the time to set up all kinds of trap arrays, and even if his trap arrays could only trap Lun Cai for one tenth of a breath, to Da Huang or Zhuo Pingan, that would be enough. "Heng Jun, who is that? He actually made Grand Emperor Lun Cai bow respectfully?" Not that far away from Mo Wuji, an elegant youth ask at the front row. A middle aged man with a head of red hair sat beside this youth, and that middle aged man was Pill Dao Alliance¡¯s Tier 7 Pill Emperor, Heng Jun. "Alliance Head, he¡¯s Mo Wuji." Heng Jun respectfully replied. His voice had a hint of confusion, as he had heard that Lun Cai wanted to kill Mo Wuji, but in the end Lun Cai turned out to be rather courteous towards Mo Wuji instead. The elegant youth suddenly stood up, and asked in shock, "He¡¯s that Mo Wuji? The Tier 5 Honoured Grade Pill King? The one that Hu Zhenyu gave up on?" There was another sentence that he did not say, which was that after he had come out from closed door cultivation, there was another error their judgement. Nodding his lowered head, Heng Jun didn¡¯t even want to speak any more. In the Pill Dao Alliance, he and Gong Yangxue knew the extent of Mo Wuji¡¯s talent in pill dao the best. Back when they consulted with Mo Wuji, he and Gong Yangxue both gained quite a bit from the exchange, and after that, his success rate at refining Tier 7 immortal pills increased. In short, it was all due to Mo Wuji. Based on his assessment, Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding of purification was number one in the Immortal World. Even the Pill Dao Alliance¡¯s Alliance Head that sat by his side, in the peak of Tier 8 Pill Emperor, Xiao Lishi, was still beneath Mo Wuji in this aspect. If he knew that Mo Wuji did not die, he would have helped Mo Wuji out with Tian Ji Pill Court.. "Heng Jun, let¡¯s go take a look too." Xiao Lishi took in a deep breath, before he spoke again. "But Alliance Head, didn¡¯t you ask the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to secretly get rid of him¡­" Heng Jun asked, puzzled. Although the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had not succeeded yet, but this sort of thing would be made known to Mo Wuji sooner or later. Since that was the case, what was the point in getting on his good side? Xiao Lishi took in another deep breath, then he explained, "I believe that I shouldn¡¯t have given that order. I should have first taken a look at what kind of person Mo Wuji was. This guy does not falter in front of Grand Emperor Lun Cai, not even being courteous towards him at all. He must be a very intelligent man, so if my Pill Dao Immortal Alliance makes an enemy out of him, it would be difficult to predict the outcome. On top of that, he has that immortal puppet, which seems rather extraordinary, by his side." "..." Heng Jun still did not really understand the intent behind these actions. No matter how intelligent Mo Wuji was, he was still an ant. So shouldn¡¯t everything be fine and dandy after killing him? Sighing, Xiao Lishi understood what Heng Jun was thinking about. However, the part that he left out was that it was not impossible to kill Mo Wuji. Even someone as crazy as Lun Cai had to bow respectfully towards Mo Wuji, so there should be a power behind Mo Wuji that was no weaker than Lun Cai. Otherwise, based on Lun Cai¡¯s personality, how could he be so nice? Since Mo Wuji had strength rivalling Lun Cai¡¯s, then he was no longer someone that they could easily wipe off the face of the world. Hence, the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance had to change their plans. ¡­ "Pill Master Mo, as long as you give the word, I will bring Ding Zhu here, and I won¡¯t complain at all. As for your compensation, just tell me what you want. As long as I, Lun Cai, can do it, I will not go against my word." However, Mo Wuji replied coldly, "Lun Cai, we¡¯ll settle out debts slowly. The debt for your murder of my disciples of Tian Ji Pill Court will not be forgotten. I¡¯ll give Heavenly Chasm Resthouse some face today, and not touch you. One day, I, Mo Wuji, will flatten that dog kennel of yours." Once Mo Wuji¡¯s last word landed on his ears, the veins on Lun Cai¡¯s face popped up. If he could kill Mo Wuji, he would have attacked immediately. But he didn¡¯t dare to, not because he was afraid of the rules here, but as he knew that Zhuo Pingan was also around. Moreover, that ugly puppet¡¯s immortal elemental energy seemed to be stronger than his own. If he acted first today, perhaps he really wouldn¡¯t be able to leave Heavenly Chasm City. The injury from his last clash with Zhuo Pingan had not fully healed yet, so he didn¡¯t have the ability to fight once more. Indeed, his temperament was a little odd and he was rather arrogant, but this arrogance was built on the premise that he wasn¡¯t in any danger. Once his life was at risk, these traits would disappear completely. "Good, very good, I, Lun Cai, will wait for you to come to my Unfettered Emperor Palace to take revenge." Lun Cai clenched his fist tightly, but he still did not dare to fight here. "Scr*w off!" Seeing that Lun Cai dared not attack, Mo Wuji shouted without hesitation. No one knew, and no one believed that when Mo Wuji and Lun Cai clashed, Lun Cai was the weaker party. In reality, Mo Wuji hoped from the bottom of his heart that Lun Cai would attack. Once Lun Cai made the first strike, he would be the defending party, and as the defending party, he could call out Zhuo Pingan, without anything holding him back, to teach Lun Cai a painful lesson. If his luck was good, Lun Cai would die or get injured to the point that his cultivation level dropped, then he would be able to eradicate the Unfettered Emperor Palace. However, Lun Cai actually dared not attack, so it would seem that his usual personality was faked. Even those unreasonable bursts of anger were intentional. This sent a signal to everyone: he, Lun Cai, did not function logically, and could get angry for no reason. As he thought about this, a shiver went down Mo Wuji¡¯s spine. These old guys were indeed not simple. Chapter 624: Scr*w Off No.3 Chapter 624: Scr*w Off No.3 Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Seeing that Lun Cai also turned around and left after Mo Wuji asked him to screw off, Yan Zhenjiang¡¯s heart froze. This bast*rd is a rogue cultivator? Even Grand Emperor Lun Cai had to obediently leave in front of this rogue cultivator, so wouldn¡¯t he, Yan Zhenjiang, not be recognised at all? "Pill Master Mo, it was my mistake just now. I¡¯ll take my leave now!" After Yan Zhenjiang finished speaking, without waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s response, he sped off. As for the title ¡®Pill Master Mo", he had borrowed it from Lun Cai. Nai He¡¯s heart also sank. She was here to find Mo Wuji for the Universal Peak Token. Logically speaking, since he did not have the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance as a backer anymore, it should have been easier for her to negotiate. However, he could even ask Lun Cai to scr*w off, so what could her, a mere Grand Yi Immortal, do? Initially back in the cultivation world¡¯s universe, she was sure that Mo Wuji¡¯s future achievements were immeasurable, but this was a little too fast wasn¡¯t it? How long had it been only, and Mo Wuji already grew so much? Although she knew that taking the Immortal Seeking Token and Universal Peak Token from Mo Wuji was as hard as reaching the heavens, but she couldn¡¯t stop. These two tokens were too important to her, much too important. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care about these guys, and once again, a familiar face approached him. Heng Jun, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Tier 7 Pill Emperor. Truthfully, Mo Wuji still had a rather good impression of Heng Jun and Gong Yangxue previously. This had nothing to do with the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance at all. The impressive part of the both of them wasn¡¯t their cultivation level, but their pill dao. Initially, when he had discussed about pill dao with these two Pill Emperors, he didn¡¯t hide anything. They were only constrained by time, so the two Pill Emperors had taken away a limited amount of information from him. For the incidents that followed, it made him very disappointed. Pill Dao Immortal Alliance gave up his pill court in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, and Gong Yangxue might have really not known about the issues surrounding Tian Ji Pill Court, as this old fart was obsessed with pill dao, not caring about anything else. But if one said that Heng Jun did not know anything, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t really believe it. Since Heng Jun knew, then he should have helped on the basis of their relationship from the pill dao exchange. If it were Mo Wuji, if he knew that Heng Jun¡¯s or Gong Yangxue¡¯s family members had any problems, he would lend a helping hand to them. However, Tian Ji Pill Court was still destroyed by Lun Cai, and the people of the pill court were killed by Lun Cai too, hence it seemed like Heng Jun didn¡¯t help at all. "Pill Master Mo, it¡¯s been a long time since we¡¯ve met." Heng Jun bowed respectfully from a distance. Before he even walked over, laughter could be heard. Mo Wuji¡¯s face was expressionless, not even with a smile. Neither did he bow respectfully, nor did he greet Heng Jun. Since Heng Jun was not worth getting acquainted with, these fake actions were all excessive to him. Heng Jun also understood Mo Wuji¡¯s intent, hence he awkwardly put his hands down. In reality, he was a little regretful, as back then he did know about Hu Zhenyu giving up on Mo Wuji. Tian Ji Pill Court could not have been saved by him, but saving some of the helpers in the pill court in advance was not beyond him. From his perspective, a few helpers dying didn¡¯t mean much. But who knew that Mo Wuji actually valued these helpers greatly, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have asked Lun Cai to scr*w off. Yet, Xiao Lishi acted as though as he never saw Mo Wuji ignore Heng Jun, smiling and bowing respectfully while speaking, "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯ve heard of you for so long. Indeed, you¡¯re as good as the rumors say." A strong aura hit him right back in the face, while Mo Wuji¡¯s squinted that little bit. Mo Wuji felt that this Xiao Lishi wasn¡¯t a simply person. Although this guy looked like a youth, by Mo Wuji¡¯s guess, he was at least in intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Why was such an expert being so courteous towards him? Regardless, the other party was a Immortal Emperor. Hence Mo Wuji still returned the bow, "Could I ask who dao friend is?" Xiao Lishi replied, "Actually it seems like we have rather great enmity between us. Previously I was in closed door cultivation, and only found out about Hu Zhenyu¡¯s foolish decision after I came out. I represent Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to apologise to Pill Master Mo. Don¡¯t worry, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s doors will always be open for you, so you can return anytime. As for your loss, the alliance will make it up to you many times over." However, Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes turned cold, and he was no longer that courteous as before, "You¡¯re the Alliance Head of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Xiao Lishi?" "That¡¯s right, I am Xiao Lishi." Anger started to build up in Xiao Lishi¡¯s heart. After all, he was the Alliance Head of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, and also an advanced Immortal Emperor, so Mo Wuji was still being a little too rude. "Alliance Head Xiao, is what you¡¯re saying true?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. "Of course, I, Xiao Lishi, never lie. Hu Zhenyu has been sacked from his position as Vice Alliance Head due to your issue." Xiao Lishi explained. While his face still had a kind expression on it, but there was not also the dignity of an Emperor. "Then Alliance Head Xiao is also aware of the great enmity between Lun Cai and me?" Mo Wuji asked again. Nodding his head, Xiao Lishi replied, "Naturally yes. If Lun Cai dared to make a move just now, I would have acted without hesitation too." "Oh." Mo Wuji spoke expressionlessly, "Since that is so, then why could Lun Cai still stand here today? Unless the whole Pill Dao Immortal Alliance couldn¡¯t even handle a single Grand Emperor Lun Cai? Or does the alliance not know where Lun Cai¡¯s Unfettered Emperor Palace is at?" "..." Xiao Lishi didn¡¯t know what to say in response. Wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji a little too unreasonable? To actually ask something like that in such a setting, didn¡¯t it not allow anyone to back down? This was openly disrespecting the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. What Mo Wuji hated the most was this sort of hypocritical fellow who could put on a smiling face while lying. At this moment, after Xiao Lishi was stunned by his line of questioning, he unceremoniously shouted, "Scr*w off!" Towards such a hypocritical piece of trash, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste a single word more. This was still before Mo Wuji was aware that Xiao Lishi wanted to kill him. If he knew, then he wouldn¡¯t have just uttered the words ¡®scr*w off¡¯ today. "You¡¯re asking for it¡­" Xiao Lishi charged forward out of rage. He wasn¡¯t Lun Cai, so even though he guessed that Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal puppet was strong, but he never imagined that it would be as strong as a Grand Immortal Emperor. A mere Tier 5 Pill King actually asked him, the Alliance Head of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, to scr*w off. Wasn¡¯t this asking to die? With an Immortal Emperor¡¯s dignity, how could he allow an ant to be so disrespectful? Strong waves of energy flew towards Mo Wuji. He wouldn¡¯t just attack straight up, instead intending to cripple Mo Wuji with the aura of his domain. Since Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be brought to their side, then he would use this excuse to incapacitate mo Wuji. With a cold snort, an equally strong aura was generated from Mo Wuji¡¯s side.As both auras clashed in the air, it caused a direct explosion in the air. Two Grand Immortal Emperors, even if no attacks were made, such an explosion was enough to destroy everything in the vicinity. However, before the wild energy could spread out, a brown clothed middle aged man landed at the side, and with a wave of his hand, the energy all disappeared completely. In an instant, Xiao Lishi¡¯s anger vanished. He stared at Da Huang, who was by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, in fear. After his strong aura and killing intent shot towards Mo Wuji, it was easily diffused by this immortal puppet. The strength of the immortal puppet seemed to be greater than his own. Once they began fighting, he, Xiao Lishi, would lose all of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s face. No wonder even Lun Cai didn¡¯t dare to make a move. Thus he immediately gave up on the idea of fighting Mo Wuji, bowing respectfully at the brown clothed man, "Castellan Ku, just now I was a little out of hand." Obviously, the brown clothed man knew who Xiao Lishi was, and responded with a bow, "I would like to request for Alliance Head Xiao to refrain from fighting here on the account of Heavenly Chasm City. I, Ku Zu, would be extremely grateful." "Castellan Ku what are you saying, it was indeed I who was at fault just now. When we have the time I¡¯ll make it up to you." Xiao Lishi turned and walked towards his seat after speaking, not looking at Mo Wuji anymore. "Mo Wuji greets Castellan Ku." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to be disrespectful, hence he also bowed respectfully. Ku Zu¡¯s strength was weaker than Xiao Lishi, but from his aura, Mo Wuji could sense that this guy was still an Immortal Emperor. Surprisingly, Ku Zu did not use an Immortal Emperor¡¯s power to teach Mo Wuji a lesson, instead he broke into a smile while speaking, "Immortal Friend Mo is too kind. Everyone here is a guest of my Heavenly Chasm City. If Immortal Friend Mo doesn¡¯t mind, I can arrange for you to sit at the first row." Just now, Mo Wuji asked both Lun Cai and Xiao Lishi to scr*w off, and both of them could not do anything about it, hence although Ke Zu did not really know Mo Wuji that well, he could sense that this guy was not simple. If Mo Wuji did not want to set up a sect, he would definitely have rejected this opportunity. But now since he wanted to do so, he naturally had to promote himself before his sect could become famous. Moreover, he also wanted to get acquainted with Xu Guren. "Thank you Castellan Ku then." Mo Wuji accepted the offer. Seeing that Mo Wuji had agreed, Ku Zu¡¯s was even more impressed with Mo Wuji. Frankly, the first row of such an exchange forum was not that easy to sit at. Sometimes even when someone gave you a seat, you wouldn¡¯t dare to sit there either. Since Mo Wuji dared to sit at the first row, it meant that he was powerful enough. "Immortal Friend Yan, thanks for just now. I¡¯m a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor, so you can look for me directly if you need any pills refined in the future." Before he left, Mo Wuji turned around and thanked Yan Wei with a bow. "Ah¡­ Thank you, thank you very much¡­" Even though Yan Wei was an Immortal King, he was still rather touched. Mo Wuji had asked Dao Seeking Palace¡¯s core disciple, Grand Emperor Lun Cai, and Pill Dao Alliance¡¯s Alliance head to scr*w off. These three ¡®scr*w off¡¯s displayed Mo Wuji¡¯s strength and power prominently, and such a guy actually got acquainted with him. No, that was not the point. The main point was that Mo Wuji was also a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor, how heaven defying could he be? "Immortal Friend Mo is a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor?" Ku Zu, who had been guessing Mo Wuji¡¯s origins became excited. A Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor meant someone equivalent to a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Based on Mo Wuji¡¯s age, eventually advancing to Tier 9 Pill Emperor seemed like a possibility. He finally understood why Lun Cai had to beg Mo Wuji. Lun Cai¡¯s favourite concubine was seriously ill, so it was definitely to ask Mo Wuji to help with pill refining. Chapter 625: Xu Suren Chapter 625: Xu Suren Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji initially wanted to advertise his status as a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor, hence there was no hint of humility in his words, "Of course, if Castellan Ku needs any Tier 7 or 8 immortal pills refined in the future, you can look for me." To Mo Wuji, advancing to Tier 8 Pill Emperor was only a matter of time. Once Ku Zu heard this, he felt surprised and happy. What a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. One had to know that in the entire Immortal World, the person with the highest pill dao level was Xiao Lishi, who was at the peak of Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Moreover, Xiao Lishi looked like a youth, but in reality everyone knew that he was an old fart that had lived for millions of years. In terms of talent, Xiao Lishi paled in comparison to Mo Wuji. "Brother Mo, please take a seat at the front row." Ku Zu changed his title for Mo Wuji to ¡®Brother Mo¡¯ after he found out that Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Although he was an Immortal Emperor, but a Tier 8 Pill Emperor¡¯s status was no lower than an Immortal Emperor¡¯s. As Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s Castellan and an Immortal Emperor, there were simply too many reasons for him to borrow the expertise of a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Xiao Lishi might have also been a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, but he was the Alliance Head of Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, a much higher social status than him, Ku Zu. If he made a request to Xiao Lishi to concoct some pills, who knew how high a price he would have to pay, even possibly having to beg. However, Mo Wuji was different, as it would be much easier to request for pills from a rogue cultivator. If he could get on Mo Wuji¡¯s good side and become friends¡­ As Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s Castellan, Ku Zu understood this difference. As for Mo Wuji¡¯s sworn enemy, Lun Cai, Ku Zu didn¡¯t care either. No matter how crazy Lun Cai seemed, he wouldn¡¯t dare to anger Heavenly Chasm City. With Ku Zu personally escorting him, Mo Wuji went to sit at a prominent spot on the first row. All those around him were either sect heads or various large immortal domain¡¯s leaders. "Brother Mo, you can sit peacefully. Part of Heavenly Chasm Resthouse also belongs to me, so I have to go to entertain some guests. In a moment, Smith Emperor Xu will arrive, I¡¯ll have to receive him too." After Mo Wuji and Han Long sat down, Ku Zu said apologetically. Standing up, Mo Wuji replied, "Immortal Friend Ku please do as you please, I¡¯m rather good here." Naturally, Mo Wuji understood the intention behind Ku Zu befriending him, and he did not reject it. Ku Zu wanted to make use of his pill dao, and he also needed a powerful friend like Ku Zu. Regardless whether it was in the Mortal World or the Immortal Word, this was reality. Having a few friends who would die for you in your life was already considered very lucky. But most of your friends would definitely come from mutually beneficial exchanges. This was the reality, and also essential. With Ku Zu¡¯s departure, a few cultivators in the vicinity took the initiative to greet Mo Wuji. His previous declaration that he was a Tier 7 Honoured Grade Pill Emperor was heard by them, so who wouldn¡¯t want to get acquainted with one? In other words, their intention was to befriend Mo Wuji while his cultivation level was still low, otherwise they probably would not have the qualifications to befriend him after he grew strong. "Welcome Master Xu to Heavenly Chasm Resthouse¡¯s exchange forum, and at the same time we would like to congratulate Master Xu for advancing to Grade 9 Smith Emperor and becoming the only Grade 9 Smith Emperor in the seven great Immortal Domains." Ku Zu¡¯s voice echoed out in the room. Following which, everyone in the exchange forum location stood up to welcome Master Xu. Mo Wuji saw Ku Zu and a few immortals with exceptional auras escorting a skinny man into the room. Upon seeing the skinny man, the first thing he noticed was that this guy was rather similar to him, without any spirituality about him. If he didn¡¯t know that this was Xu Suren, he would have assumed that this guy was just another passerby on the street Since Xu Suren was a smith, there should have a grand flaming aura about him, or so Mo Wuji thought. Who knew that the actual person differed from his expectations by that much. The skinny man before him didn¡¯t seem that old, but had the appearance of a middle aged man. "Greetings Master Xu!" "Elder Xu¡­" When Xu Suren passed by, all of the people in the vicinity greeted him, and he responded with a smile, which made everyone feel that his gaze fell on them for a good period of time. This was a form of respect indeed, and at the same time, Mo Wuji knew that it was also a form of strength. It was apparent that Xu Suren¡¯s strength was no lower than Lun Cai. In his heart, Mo Wuji decided that he had to raise his cultivation level more, even though he already had achieved a certain level in pill dao. If he were as strong as Xu Suren, who would dare to attack those close to him in his absence? As Mo Wuji was thinking about how to raise his strength, he suddenly felt Xu Suren stare at him, hence he quickly bowed respectfully and greeted Xu Suren. Could his senses have lied to him? He felt that Xu Suren nodded at him, but didn¡¯t see this with his eyes at all. "Welcome immortal friends from all great Immortal Domains to the exchange forum, while I, Ku Zu, thank everyone for attending, I would like to take this opportunity to give everyone a welcome gift. In celebration of Master Xu¡¯s advancement to Grade 9 Smith Emperor, the exchange forum will only charge a 5% transaction fee¡­" When he heard this, Mo Wuji was stunned, and he asked, "Han Long, exchange forums charge a transaction fee?" Han Long shook her head, "I don¡¯t know, but 5% doesn¡¯t seem like a lot." Mo Wuji frowned slightly. 5% might not be much to other people, but not to him. His main item for exchange were Tier 7 Immortal Pills, and it wouldn¡¯t only be for one or two transactions only. If 5% was charged each time, how much would he lose? "He he! You can ask Ku Zu to scr*w off too, to actually dare to charge a fee¡­" Someone behind Mo Wuji let out a round of laughter, seemingly mocking Mo Wuji¡¯s previous three ¡®scr*w off¡¯s. "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯m very sorry. My sect¡¯s disciples are ill disciplined, so please don¡¯t take it to heart. I am the Nunnery Head, Yuan Yi, of Buddhist Immortal Domain¡¯s Meditation Nunnery, this is my disciple, Su Xi." Before Mo Wuji said anything, an apologetic voice sounded out. When Mo Wuji turned around, he noticed that the two people that spoke were actually nuns. The older nun appeared around 20+ years old, and she was stunningly beautiful, with a naturally clear aura. He was sure that this was definitely not her real age, and it wouldn''t be unusual for her to be a few million years old, as she had a strong aura, possibly even around the cultivation level of Ku Zu. Regarding the young nun that called for him to ask Ku Zu to scr*w off, she seemed like a young girl, and with her shiny bald head, she looked around the age of 14 to 15 years old. Although she was young, but it was difficult to mask her ravishing beauty that would defeat most of the girls her age. However, Mo Wuji did not think that this young nun was older than him. But he did not look down on this young girl either, as he could see that her cultivation level was no lower than his own, probably having just advanced to Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Meditation Nunnery, what an old fashioned name, while also a very ordinary name, almost as ordinary as his Ping Fan. Normally people would choose more impressive names for a newly set up sect in the Immortal World. For example, if it were other people naming his Ping Fan, they would likely name it as Great Fan Immortal Sect or Heavenly Fan Dao Sect Only when one reached Mo Wuji¡¯s level of dao then one would realise than Ping Fan was the most suitable name based on his self made technique¡¯s dao. Just like the Meditation Nunnery, one the surface it seemed ordinary, just like Xu Suren¡¯s name¡­ Eh, Xu Suren? Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that Xu Suren appeared almost like a mortal, just like him, so could it be that this Xu Suren also cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique? "My apologies Pill Master Mo, I shouldn¡¯t have made that joke just now¡­" Seeing that Mo Wuji did not reply, the small nun, Su Xi, started to worry. This guy was an expert that could ask Lun Cai and Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Alliance head to scr*w off, so her Meditation Nunnery couldn¡¯t afford to offend him. At this moment she hated herself for speaking too much. The main reason behind her actions was that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seem scary, just like an ordinary mortal. Once Mo Wuji regained his senses, he didn¡¯t think Xu Suren any more, chuckling while speaking, "What are you saying Master Yuan Yi, Sister Su Xi was just joking. These small issues are not worth bringing up. After all, Sister Su Xi, you¡¯re so beautiful. I¡¯m happy that you would joke with me." "Pill Master Mo, you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m beautiful?" Su Xi¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing Mo Wuji praise her for being beautiful, and her hands subconsciously moved up to touch her face. She was a sheet of paper untainted by the world, Mo Wuji thought to himself. Thankfully it was him that she joked with, if it were that pseudo-crazy Lun Cai, he might have attacked and killed this cute little Su Xi. "Su Xi, don¡¯t be disrespectful." Yuan Yi chided once more. After scolding her, Yuan Yu quickly explained to Mo Wuji, "Heavenly Chasm Resthouse¡¯s exchange forum and other auctions all have a transaction fee. Once a transaction is confirmed, the usual rate is 15%, and it¡¯s taken from both the buyer and seller. The 5% this time is indeed very little already." Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji thought to himself, "Why not just rob us?" Each transaction would incur a fee of 15%, and the total of both parties would be 40%. Wasn¡¯t this tax a little too high? No wonder it was free to stay in Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. Which one of the people who could obtain a Gods Token would be a pauper? These people would definitely attend some exchange forum or auction, and by taking a percentage of the transactions as fees, it would be enough to feed the resthouse. "...That¡¯s good, I won¡¯t continue rambling on. This exchange shall start with Master Xu¡­" Ku Zu ceased his introductions. Mo Wuji finally understood the benefits of sitting in the front row. When you wanted to make an exchange, you could raise your token, but the order of precedence started from the first row. For example, if there were multiple people in the first five rows that raised their tokens at the same time, then the person in the first row would be the first to show his goods for the exchange. If all of them were from the first row, then it would be based on one¡¯s seat number. Mo Wuji¡¯s seat number was 78, which meant that if another person in the first row raised his/her token before him, as long as the other party¡¯s seat number was not lower than 78, then he would be able to report the items he was putting up for exchange first. Chapter 626: Something Everyone Wants Chapter 626: Something Everyone Wants Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xu Suren stood up and clasped his fists towards everyone before speaking out in a pleasantly warm tone, "I arrived late yet I am the first to transact so I would like to thank all the immortal friends here for your understanding. I am only an equipment master with not many extremely useful items with me. I only have eight and nine grade immortal equipments¡­" In the hall of the trade forum, everyone took in a deep breath together. Not many extremely useful items, only right and nine grade immortal equipments¡­ "My immortal equipments include defensive, offensive and flying immortal equipments. Besides these, I can also go according to your request and forge any equipment of your wish." Xu Suren paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, I still have an Primal Wood Crystal¡­" Many people were like Mo Wuji as they had no idea what the Primal Wood Crystal was but Mo Wuji noticed that when Xu Suren mentioned this, numerous Immortal Emperors in the first row revealed their desire for it. Who knows what this item was to even get those Immortal Emperors to be this interested. Xu Suren chuckled, "Perhaps many of my immortal friends here have no idea what the Primal Wood Crystal is so let me introduce it to everyone. The Primal Wood Crystal is a treasure which can nurture wood attributes. In fact, as long as there is sufficient time, one could even breed the wood elemental bead out of it." Mo Wuji heard this and his heart skipped a beat as he remembered about the 11 fire-red crystals he had. A single fire-red crystal was able to turn his Scholar¡¯s Heart into a Grade 7 immortal flame yet didn¡¯t exhaust much of its energy. It was evident that this fire-red crystal was not simple. Moreover, Mo Wuji was also certain that his fire-red crystal was able to breed out a fire elemental bead so could his fire-red crystal be a Primal Fire Crystal? "The items I wished to trade for would be two types of materials and a treasure. The first material would be the Underworld Dao Thread and the second would be the Nine Flowers Fire Heartstone. The third item I need would be the Primal Fire Crystal. Of course, my Primal Wood Crystal would only be exchanged for the Fire Crystal." Xu Suren¡¯s words welcomed a series of discussion because most of them, like Mo Wuji, only knew what the Nine Flowers Fire Heartstone was but not the Underworld Dao Thread. Mo Wuji confirmed that there was a high possibility that the 11 fire-red crystals he had with him were the Primal Fire Crystals. The entire venue became silent as the first exchange was already stuck with no one answering Xu Suren. This was because nobody was able to bring out the treasures that Xu Suren wanted. Or rather, even if ordinary people were to possess such valuable items, they wouldn¡¯t dare to trade it openly. Su Xuren seemed to have already predicted this as he simply smiled, "I will be temporarily staying at the ninth floor of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, Room 19A. I will be welcoming anybody to find me within the next three months. I am sorry to have delayed this exchange, everyone please continue without bothering about me." Evidently, Xu Suren knew that the items he wanted were far too valuable. Even if he asked for it in a large scale trade forum like this one in the Heavenly Chasm City, he might not get what he asked for. The moment Xu Suren finished speaking, tens of tokens from the first row rose up. Cultivators of the further rows were well aware that it was not their time to exchange for their items. "May I invite Number 16 of Row 1 to bring out your item for exchange," In less than a second, the chosen cultivator brought his item up for exchange. "It is Xiao Lishi," Han Long whispered into Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. Even without Han Long¡¯s reminder, Mo Wuji had already noticed that Xiao Lishi was the one sitting on seat number 16. This proved that the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s position was rather decent. Xiao Lishi took out a jade vase before saying, "This is a vase of 4 high grade and 2 intermediate grade Grand Virtual Reverent Pills. What I need would be the Undying Holy Bamboo or other immortal herbs that are similar to the Undying Holy Bamboo. Of course, those who don¡¯t want the Grand Virtual Reverent Pill can also approach me and put forward your own personal request." It was something he had again. In fact, Mo Wuji had more than one Undying Holy Bamboo with him. However, he would definitely not trade with Xiao Lishi. The Grand Virtual Reverent Pill was considered to be a Tier 8 immortal pill which was meant for a Immortal Reverent to use for cultivation. It was capable of helping many Immortal Reverents break through mini bottlenecks for example, from the elementary stage to the intermediate stage or the intermediate stage to the advanced stage. For an ordinary Immortal Reverent, this was an extremely useful pill but to Mo Wuji, this was thrash. He might not be able to concoct Tier 8 immortal pills now but he had no need to concoct such pills now. Truth be told, even if Mo Wuji needed the pill urgently, he wouldn¡¯t trade with Xiao Lishi. The Undying Holy Bamboo was not something that could be easily obtained and even if someone had it, they would be as unwilling as Mo Wuji to exchange it. Eventually, Xiao Lishi didn¡¯t managed to exchange anything. The third person chosen to bring out their item to exchange was a well built man as he instantly placed a piece of pitch black iron stone onto the white jade table. This iron stone had a volume of one cubic metres and despite it being enveloped by all sorts of arrays in the surrounding, everyone could feel the heaviness when the stone landed on the table. "This is a Heavy Rootless Gold?" An astonished voice exclaimed. At the same instance, Mo Wuji managed to recognise this Heavy Rootless Gold. A fist sized Heavy Rootless Gold would already be an invaluable treasure let alone such a big piece. Even though Xu Suren¡¯s item worthed much more than this item, everyone knew that it was impossible to exchange for the Primal Wood Crystal. However, this Heavy Rootless Gold was something everyone believed they would be able to obtain. Some people¡¯s eyeballs were already turning red as they stare intensely at this evidently peak Grade 9 immortal material. In the Immortal World, this item was considered to have surpass a Grade 9 immortal material and it belonged to an even higher grade of treasures. This was a supreme material used to forge offensive immortal equipment and its value was not something that could be measured. "Thats right, this is indeed the Heavy Rootless Gold. The item I want to exchange for must be of similar value to this Heavy Rootless Gold and it must also be beneficial for me to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. If you¡¯re unable to fulfill this two requests, please don¡¯t bother trying. Immortal friends who are interested, please transfer the item for me to inspect and if I think it is suitable, we will strike a deal immediately," The man clasped his fist after putting his item down. Even after giving a speech like this, there were still five to six reporting lights that lit up. Mo Wuji was also interested because he needed this piece of Heavy Rootless Gold urgently. Xu Suren would be at the Heavenly Chasm City so as long as he managed to obtain this piece of Heavy Rootless Gold, he could request for Xu Suren to help him forge his Half Moon Halberd Blade with this Heavy Rootless Gold into a true Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Originally, Mo Wuji was intending to melt his Tian Ji Pole to recover the Half Moon Green Halberd but now that this Heavy Rootless Gold appeared, there was no need for him to melt his Tian Ji Pole anymore. Unless he was truly desperate, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to melt this iconic treasure of the Tian Ji Sect. Furthermore, Su Rou¡¯Er even mentioned that the Tian Ji Pole was related to an extremely huge secret. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have much items which were of similar value to this Heavy Rootless Gold. The Primal Fire Crystal might be plausible but the value of the Primal Fire Crystal was much more than the Heavy Rootless Gold so Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t want to touch it. Additionally, this Primal Fire Crystal would not be of much use for the man to advance into the Immortal Emperor Stage. As for the Breath of Hongmeng, he would naturally not touch it unless he met something he yearned for the longest time like the Five Elemental Bead. Oh yes, he had an Emperor Dao Fruit with him. The Emperor Dao Fruit¡¯s value was not low but because the opponent¡¯s Heavy Rootless Gold was so huge and he only had one Emperor Dao Fruit, the value might still be slightly lower... As he sensed the man¡¯s energy around his body, Mo Wuji confirmed that he was in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage and that this man was slightly similar to him. His energy were calm and vast and didn¡¯t exude any ethereal illusory which the ordinary Immortal Reverents would have. Mo Wuji¡¯s physique tempering was almost in the Immortal Physique Stage so it only took a second for Mo Wuji to realise that this man was also an expert who tempered his physique. This was no wonder he was able to sit in the first row despite being in the Immortal Reverent Stage. Now that he was aware that the man was an expert who tempered his physique, things should be easier for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took out two jade box as he placed the Emperor Dao Fruit and a Undying Holy Bamboo into the two different boxes before shutting it up and pressing his reporting light. The moment Mo Wuji pressed his light, it attracted the attention of many people around him. Who wouldn¡¯t want the Heavy Rootless Gold but not everyone would be able to match the price tag of the man. Mo Wuji was merely a tiny ant to think that he could exchange for such a big piece of Heavy Rootless Gold. Ah, this is the true meaning of ¡®The ignorant is fearless¡¯. If this item could be exchanged for any rubbish, the number of people trying their luck would not be just five. Even Yuan Yi, who was seated behind Mo Wuji, shook his head when she saw Mo Wuji trying his luck. Many people came forward to meet Mo Wuji earlier only because they knew he was a Honoured Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor and not because they knew about his cultivation level. In everyone¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji¡¯s action made him look like someone who hadn¡¯t seen much of the world and when he saw a good item, he wanted it immediately. This would be a problem of his character. Secondly, she knew the man who owned the Heavy Rootless Gold. He, Ni Fengnie, was an expert of the number one physique tempering sect, Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect. There were not many fellas who would be able to match Immortal Emperors while being in the Immortal Reverent Stage. The moment Mo Wuji made such a person furious, he would be seeking trouble for himself. As for those who stepped out to make friends with Mo Wuji earlier on, she was sure that none of them would come out to save him. "Wuji, I¡¯ve heard about this person. He is Ni Fengnie of the Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect and I¡¯ve heard that the Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect is the number one physique tempering sect. If we were to anger him, we¡­" Han Long transmitted a message to Mo Wuji when she saw Mo Wuji sending his items over for exchange. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Don¡¯t worry. I believe the items I offer would be sufficient. If he thinks otherwise, he could just call off the exchange." Ni Fengnie had already seen all five of the treasures that were transferred to him and was extremely disappointed. None of these treasures could be comparable to his Heavy Rootless Gold and the difference was pretty vast. Furthermore, these items had no use for him to breakthrough to become an Immortal Emperor. Just as he sent all five items back after rejecting them, he noticed yet another item being transferred to him and his eyes lit up. Following which, he noticed that the light at Mo Wuji¡¯s seat was still bright. If he didn¡¯t see Mo Wuji, he would still be full of confidence but when he saw that Mo Wuji was not even an Immortal King, he got off the stage furiously. Does everyone thinks that he, Ni Fengnie, was very nice to lie to? For all of them to use rubbish to exchange for his items? Chapter 627: The Exchange That Everyone Was Jealous Of Chapter 627: The Exchange That Everyone Was Jealous Of Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My name is Ni Fengnie and I am from the Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect. If your item worth much lesser than my Heavy Rootless Gold and waste my time, don¡¯t blame me for destroying it on the spot. If you are unhappy, you can find the Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect directly, I, Ni Fengnie, would accept any challenges from you. For such an invaluable item like the Heavy Rootless Gold, not everyone who yearned for it would be able to obtain it," When the two jade boxes were transferred to Ni Fengnie, he hadn¡¯t even open it but chose to stare coldly at Mo Wuji before making a statement like this. The crowd turned to stare at Mo Wuji as some were making fun of him while others remained speechless. Those who knew that Mo Wuji was a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor were slightly less obvious in their discussions of Mo Wuji but those didn¡¯t know anything started looking down on him without holding back. Nobody knew how Mo Wuji knew Ku Zhu and managed to obtain a seat in the first row but even Ku Zhu would not be able to make a fair judgement for Mo Wuji if Ni Fengnie were to destroy the items of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji replied faintly, "If you have the guts, try destroying my items. If you were to destroy my items and still made it out of the Heavenly Chasm City alive, I, Mo Wuji, would deserve it. Of course, you would be free to destroy the items once you hand the Heavy Rootless Gold to me." Mo Wuji was not even fearful of Grand Emperor Lun Cai or Xiao Lishi so why would he be afraid of the threatens from a mere Immortal Reverent? Even if he was an Immortal Reverent who tempered his physique, he was still only an Immortal Reverent. Perhaps his Emperor Dao Fruit and Undying Holy Bamboo might still be worth slightly lesser than his Heavy Rootless Gold, Mo Wuji believed the difference was minute. More importantly, it would be useful for Ni Fengnie if he wanted to advance into the Immortal Emperor Stage. His Emperor Dao Fruit would help his progress to become an Immortal Emperor while his Undying Holy Bamboo would help the tempering of his physique. If Mo Wuji were to look at things from Ni Fengnie¡¯s perspective, he wouldn¡¯t think that either one of Mo Wuji¡¯s item was poor but that his Heavy Rootless Gold was slightly more valuable. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t willing to take advantage of others so he decided to take out two items to trade with Ni Fengnie. Once he brought these two items out, even if Ni Fengnie was unwilling to exchange, he wouldn¡¯t be qualified enough to destroy his items. It would be fine if he was unwilling to exchange and sent his items straight back to him. However, if Ni Fengnie dared to destroy his items, the first thing he would do would be to ask Ku Zhu if the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse was going to intervene and if Ku Zhu said no, he would attack Ni Fengnie immediately. Following which, he would transmit a message to Zhuo Pingan to ask him not to let Ni Fengnie leave the Heavenly Chasm Immortal City. If two Grand Emperors were unable to finish one Immortal Reverent off, Mo Wuji would really deserve it. "Hahaha¡­" Ni Fengnie laughed out loud, "I, Ni Fengnie would really want to see if your methods were as powerful as your words. When I destroy your items, I really do want to see how you¡¯re going to stop me from leaving the Heavenly Chasm City." Not everyone noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s conversation with Lun Cai and his actions towards Xiao Lishi and Ni Fengnie definitely didn¡¯t see it. If he saw it, even if he didn¡¯t hold Mo Wuji in high regard, he wouldn¡¯t say such things to Mo Wuji. Lun Cai was sneering in his heart and the person he was mocking was Ni Fengnie. He had always looked down on immortal experts who tempered their physique because he always thought that they were simple minded people. While others might think that Mo Wuji would be unable to stop Ni Fengnie from leaving, Lun Cai was certain that if Mo Wuji wanted to kill Ni Fengnie in the Heavenly Chasm City, it would be as easy a pinching an ant to death. "To let you understand that I, Ni Fengnie, is not someone who likes to bully, I will open the jade box for everyone to see¡­" The moment Ni Fengnie finished speaking, he opened the first jade box. Mo Wuji chuckled, bully? An Immortal Reverent really did say he could bully him. Even if Zhuo Pingan wasn¡¯t here, Da Huang was still with him. Ni Fengnie was already stunned and he wasn¡¯t the only one as everyone in the hall was equally stunned. This was because even though Mo Wuji¡¯s first item was not worth as much as the Heavy Rootless Gold, it was not some sort of rubbish. This was an Undying Holy Bamboo which the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Xiao Lishi wanted earlier. The initially rowdy hall became much quieter and while the Undying Holy Bamboo was really not able to exchange for this large piece of Heavy Rootless Gold, Ni Fengnie would really be bullying if he dared to destroy the Undying Holy Bamboo. An item like this should be returned in one piece if he wasn¡¯t interested in exchanging for it. Ni Fengnie¡¯s expression turned slightly ugly because he needed this Undying Holy Bamboo. While it was not enough to exchange for his Heavy Rootless Gold, he had already said what he said so if he didn¡¯t destroy it, he would be viewed as weak. The person with the worst expression was Xiao Lishi because this Undying Holy Bamboo was something he really wanted. When he requested for it earlier on, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother about him. It seemed like he would be finding Mo Wuji later on because this Undying Holy Bamboo would really be of use to him. The first jade box was the Undying Holy Bamboo and even if the item in the second jade box was not worth as much as the Undying Holy Bamboo, it shouldn¡¯t be much worse. Everyone was starting to think that Mo Wuji was really not just trying his luck but was actually taking out decent items. At this moment, everyone was focused on the second box on Ni Fengnie¡¯s hand as everyone wanted to know what Mo Wuji brought out in addition to the Undying Holy Bamboo. Ni Fengnie opened the second jade box in front of everyone. A grey fruit was lying in the middle of the jade box and there was pin drop silence throughout the entire hall. Even though this fruit was locked in by countless of seals, everyone could feel the Heaven and Earth Dao spirituality seeping out of the box. A few cultivators in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage were so rash that they almost couldn¡¯t control themselves from rushing forward to snatch it away. Mo Wuji was cursing in his heart at how stupid this fella was. By showing everyone a precious fruit like the Emperor Dao Fruit was simply equivalent to courting his own death. However, Ni Fengnie courting his own death would have nothing to do with him. The Emperor Dao Fruit was extremely rare and to be able to find one was already incredibly miraculous, let alone two. The moment Ni Fengnie took out the Emperor Dao Fruit, everyone would only find that fool and not think that Mo Wuji had a second one. In fact, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t have a second one. "Emperor Dao Fruit¡­" A breath of cold air was took in by everyone as many more rapacious breaths could be heard. Everyone expected this second item to be something like a tret in addition to the Undying Holy Bamboo and not the other way round. In terms of value, the Emperor Dao Fruit might not worth as much as the Primal Wood Crystal but in terms of practicality, the Emperor Dao Fruit was something everyone wanted. If one were to place both the Primal Wood Crystal and an Emperor Dao Fruit in front of an Immortal Reverent, he would definitely choose the Emperor Dao Fruit and not the Primal Wood Crystal. Many people started to laugh at Mo Wuji in their hearts because they couldn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji actually took out such a treasure for exchange. Not only that, he also added in the Undying Holy Bamboo. One must know that the Emperor Dao Fruit should be able to exchange for a Heavy Rootless Gold and even if it was not enough, the difference should be very minute. Furthermore, Ni Fengnie added that he wanted a treasure which could help him with his advancement into the Immortal Emperor so even this made it certain that even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t add in the Undying Holy Bamboo, Ni Fengnie would agree to exchange. "Bang!" Ni Fengnie closed the jade box immediately as he banged the table and transferred the Heavy Rootless Gold to Mo Wuji. After doing so, he turned and bowed to Mo Wuji before saying, "I, Ni Fengnie, was indeed villain hearted and Dao Friend here is indeed the generous one. To be honest, the Emperor Dao Fruit is enough to exchange for my Heavy Rootless Gold and the fact that Dao Friend added in the Undying Holy Bamboo proved that Dao Friend is really truly an upright person. I, Ni Fengnie, would like to apologise to this Dao Friend here and I hope for your forgiveness. But because this Undying Holy Bamboo would be too useful for me, I will accept it shamelessly. I, Ni Fengnie, would owe you a favour and my Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect is a rather decent sect for physique tempering. In the future, if Dao Friend wants to find a place to temper your physique, you can find my Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was tempted because he was also a cultivator who tampered his physique. The Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect was the number one sect for physique tempering so they might be of use to Mo Wuji in the future. This Ni Fengnie was really considered bright, upright and had no hesitation in admitting his mistake. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fist, "I, Mo Wuji, will definitely find you if I ever need you." Ni Fengnie clasped his fist in return before leaving. Now that he had gotten what he needed, there was no need for him to stick around for any longer. Too many people coveted for the Emperor Dao Fruit and since he had it in his hands now, he should hurry up to ignite his tribulation with it. "This Pill Master Mo is really a fool to think he actually added a Undying Holy Bamboo for free when he could have gotten it with the Emperor Dao Fruit," After Ni Fengnie left, Su Xi, who was sitting behind Mo Wuji, transmitted a message to her mentor, Yuan Yi. Yuan Yi was like the rest as he never expected Mo Wuji to actually exchange something so treasured for the Heavy Rootless Gold but she seemed to have thought of something after hearing Su Xi¡¯s message, "Su Xi, it is not disadvantageous to suffer some losses at times. This Mo Wuji is not a simple man, you have to show some respect if you ever see him again." Yuan Yi was an Immortal Emperor and after his exchange with Ni Fengnie, she could sense the extra admiration everyone held for Mo Wuji. A person who was willing to suffer some losses would always be able to gain the admiration of people around him. Everyone would be more than willing to befriend such a person. Fool? How many fools are there seated here? Mo Wuji¡¯s addition the Undying Holy Bamboo didn¡¯t only win the admiration of the crowd but also Ni Fengnie¡¯s friendship and gratitude. He even invited Mo Wuji to the Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect. Chapter 628: The Insidious Elder Of The Lightning Sect Chapter 628: The Insidious Elder Of The Lightning Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The next few items up for exchange might not be as valuable as the Heavy Rootless Gold and the Emperor Dao Fruit, but they were all still peak grade treasures. One of them was a peak grade earth transformation sacred art which was not any weaker than the Emperor Dao Fruit. This sacred art allows the use to turn the surrounding earth elements into other elements. It could also be used for combat on ground or in vile environment hence, it was definitely a peak grade method. Mo Wuji had intentions to exchange for this sacred art but he had limited treasures on him. This sacred art was not something ordinary items could exchange for and if Mo Wuji were to bring out extraordinary items consecutively, it would attract unwanted attention from the others. Just the few exchanges earlier on proved that this was the most notable trade forum in the entire Immortal World. Presently, a male cultivator in purple silk robe stood up and took out a jade box before clasping his hands, "I have a portion of an ancient treasure and I would like to invite everyone to identify it." The man opened up the jade box immediately and it contained a grey thick thread. To be exact, it was a lampwick. When Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on the lampwick, he revealed a dignified expression. This lampwick was definitely not an ordinary item because it contained dao energy of the ancient vicissitudes of life. When his spiritual will landed on it, it was as if it landed on a vast ocean with no specific details of anything. Upon more detailed observation, the lampwick exuded the feeling of a world and it contained an endless law on the energy. As compared to the Half Moon Green Halberd which he received previously, this lampwick was of a slightly higher grade. Because Mo Wuji had already condensed his own Undying World, he only needed one look to realise that this lampwick had a world of its own of decent grade. But because this lampwick had no lamp dish, the world should still be unable to form up. Mo Wuji was certain that if the lampwick was able to find its lamp dish, this would be a treasure which value would greatly surpass the Heavy Rootless Gold. This was not just a spiritual treasure because it also brought along a spatial world. "Han Long, do you know who this purple silk man is?" Mo Wuji looked at the fella with the lampwick and sensed that he was up to no good. He put this lampwick up for exchange because if anyone was willing to exchange for it, it would mean that the lamp dish was with the person. This fella could be searching for the person who had the lamp dish with him and definitely did not want to trade this item away easily. Otherwise, no matter how good the item was, it was still incomplete so what¡¯s the point of spending a large amount to obtain it? Similarly, since he dared to bring this treasure out for exchange, it showed how emboldened he was. "I recognise this man. He is the most powerful elder of the Lightning Sect, Qi Junyi. I¡¯ve heard this man was very close to being a Grand Emperor and even had a lightning attribute sacred art. He was not someone a normal Grand Emperor would dare to fight with," Han Long whispered to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded his head subtly because given his strength, nobody would have the guts to harbour intentions of obtaining the lampwick. Mo Wuji was confident that no one would stand up to exchange because even if they had the lamp dish with them, they wouldn¡¯t want to risk their life exchanging for this lampwick. This was such an obvious trap so unless the person was a fool, he wouldn¡¯t reveal the lamp dish in his possession. Or rather, only those who thinks that they are stronger than Qi Junyi would dare to exchange for it. Qi Junyi continued, "I am only here in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse¡¯s trade forum incidentally. After this ends, I would be leaving the Lightning Sect to look for a secret hideout to undergo my closed doors cultivations for 300,000 years. After I am out from my closed doors, I will not appear in the Immortal World anymore. This lampwick is of no use to me so if anyone is interested, please bring out 50,000,000 high grade immortal crystals and 10 stalks of Tier 9 immortal herbs to exchange for it. Naturally, if you do not have that much, you could use something of similar value to exchange for it." Mo Wuji thought to himself, this fella was simply forcing someone to exchange for it. Because if the person had the lamp dish and chose not to exchange for the lampwick in this forum, he might not have the chance to do so in the future. This fella mentioned that he was about to be behind closed doors for 300,000 years and would not even return to the Immortal World afterwards. If someone had the lamp dish, he would rather believe his words because what if he really did go behind closed doors for 300,000 years and not come out after that? The regulated time was up and there was still no one interested in the exchange. Qi Junyi said with a trace of disappointment, "Since this is the case, I shall take my leave now. I wish that everyone would be able to exchange for something they want by the end of the day." After saying that, Qi Junyi really left the hall in a jiffy without stopping by. Mo Wuji shook his head at how vicious this fella was. This was evidently a tactic of loosening the reins only to grasp them better. Who knows how many auctions and trade forums he had used this method on? As long as one was not a fool, one would definitely not follow him out at this juncture. The moment someone followed Qi Junyi out of the place, wouldn¡¯t he be giving himself away? Mo Wuji thought that there would be no one foolish enough to follow Qi Junyi out but the reality was the exact opposite. Just as Qi Junyi left the place, Yuan Yi actually brought her disciple, Su Xi out of the place. Mo Wuji was slightly astonished at the foolish act of this nun. By following out there like that, even if she didn¡¯t have the lamp dish, others would think that she had the lamp dish with her¡­ Soon after, Mo Wuji realised that the lamp dish must be with Yuan Yi. Qi Junyi had finally managed to fish for the person who had the lamp dish of the lampwick. Mo Wuji could only shake his head because this was something he couldn¡¯t and wouldn¡¯t interfere with. Even though Yuan Yi was an Immortal Emperor, Mo Wuji was certain that Yuan Yi would not be a match for that sly old Qi Junyi. By following him out, Qi Junyi could have already swallowed even the bones of Yuan Yi. Mo Wuji felt pitiful for the small nun, Su Xi, because Mo Wuji still had a good impression of the pure and innocent Su Xi. After letting this incident go, Mo Wuji raised his exchange token. And after so many exchanges, it was finally his turn. Mo Wuji retrieved a large jade box before taking out over ten different types of immortal pills to put on display, "Fellow Immortal Friends, I am an Honoured Grade Tier 7 Immortal Emperor so I am willing to bring out some unique grade Tier 7 immortal pills which I¡¯ve concocted. My immortal pills for exchange includes the Draining Immortal King Pill, Wind Scar Pill, Trio Revolving Solitary Blood Pill, Green Bodhi Pill¡­" While a small portion of people had already found out that he was a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor previously, the entire hall had heard his words now that he used the exchange to announce himself as a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor. This method was evidently more effective. Even though Tier 7 pills were considered valuable, it didn¡¯t mean much in a venue like this. However, this was not the point of this exchange because the point was that Mo Wuji was an Honoured Grade Immortal Emperor. Discussions filled the entire hall because from the exchange between Mo Wuji and Ni Fengnie earlier on, most people already knew about Mo Wuji¡¯s origins. However, the news that they received was that Mo Wuji was an Honoured Grade Tier 5 Pill King who was abandoned by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. How was it possible that Mo Wuji had managed to become a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor in such a short period of time? Majority of the people¡¯s spiritual wills landed on the immortal pills and everyone was able to tell that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t lying. The reason being that all the pills Mo Wuji brought out were unique grade Tier 7 immortal pills. "There is even the unique grade Draining Immortal King Pill¡­" If unique grade immortal pills meant nothing, unique grade Draining Immortal King Pill would definitely not be a simple pill. This was a pill which was worth more than an ordinary Tier 8 immortal pill. Even though the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Xiao Lishi brought out the Tier 8 Grand Virtual Reverent Pill, the majority of people here would choose the rare Tier 7 Draining Immortal King Pill over it. "Pill Master Mo, I need a Draining Immortal King Pill. What are your requests" Someone couldn¡¯t control his excitement as he shouted out. "Pill Master Mo, are you able to help concoct a furnace of Tier 7 immortal pills?" Another excited person exclaimed. Previously when Xu Suren and Xiao Lishi was on stage, nobody dared to ask questions like these. Given the status of Xu Suren and Xiao Lishi, asking questions in this manner would cause others to think that you¡¯re arrogant and even anger the two experts. However, things were different with Mo Wuji because Mo Wuji was not that reputable and he was not even a member of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. A rogue cultivator Pill Emperor helping to concoct pills was definitely normal. ¡­ Initially, Mo Wuji wanted to sit throughout the entire trade forum but after watching Xu Suren leave, Mo Wuji changed his mind, he wanted to visit Xu Suren even before this trade forum ends so that he could request for Xu Suren to help forge his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Mo Wuji stood up and chuckled before clasping his fist, "Fellow Immortal Friends, if I were to exchange for each and every one of my pills, I might waste everyone¡¯s time. I thought of an idea and that is after this trade forum ends, those who wishes to exchange for some of my pills or those who wants me to concoct some pills could proceed to the seventh floor Room 6A of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse to find me. I will be staying at the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse for a prolonged period of time so I would be able to help everyone concoct immortal pills. Naturally, because this was the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse¡¯s trade forum, I will hand out the necessary fees to the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse when an exchange is completed." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, everyone guessed that Mo Wuji had deep connections with the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. In the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, no matter which level it was, as long as the person lived in the ¡®A¡¯ room, he should be of high status. This evidently showed how good Mo Wuji was at conducting himself. He announced his status as a Tier 7 Pill Emperor here, and initiated to help others concoct pills in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse together with the exchange of pills without neglecting the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. Ku Zhu might have thought highly of Mo Wuji¡¯s Pill Dao but Mo Wuji was not willing to take advantage of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse because of Ku Zhu¡¯s high regard. Whether he was a true friend or a beneficial friend, friendship and benefits had to be mutual. Ku Zhu¡¯s voice was heard across the hall, "Pill Emperor Mo would be a friend of my Heavenly Chasm Resthouse in the future so I would warmly welcome anyone who would wish to find Pill Emperor Mo at my Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. As for the fees that Pill Emperor Mo mentioned, my Heavenly Chasm Resthouse would not accept Pill Master Mo¡¯s immortal crystals no matter how poor we¡¯ve become." There was still a sentence which Ku Zhu didn¡¯t mentioned and that was to say that those who wishes to enter the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse to visit Mo Wuji to concoct pills would still have to pay the fees to the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse to enter. Mo Wuji was able to tell Ku Zhu¡¯s intentions but was not bothered by it at all. Since they had come to find him to concoct pills, they must not be people of simple backgrounds so if he were to be concocting their pills for them at the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, it was only necessary for the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse to collect the required fees. Chapter 629: Half Moon Weighted Halberd Chapter 629: Half Moon Weighted Halberd Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Many thanks Castellan Ku and I would like to announce one more news. 10 years later, I will be establishing my own sect, Ping Fan. I would like to welcome Immortal Friends from all over the Immortal World to show your support then. When that time comes, I will be concocting pills for everyone for three months. Ping Fan has a branch sect called the Tian Ji Sect so I would like to welcome all the remaining disciples of the Tian Ji Sect to return home from everywhere you are. From today onwards, enemies of the disciples of the Tian Ji Sect would be enemies of Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji made use of this opportunity to announce his future establishment of his Ping Fan. Mo Wuji mentioned about the Tian Ji Sect because he did have the capability to protect the survivors of the Tian Ji Sect now. Concurrently, he wanted to let those who have been bullying disciples of the Tian Ji Sect to let go before Mo Wuji vents his anger on them. After announcing all these, Mo Wuji brought Da Huang out of the trade forum. As for Han Long, because she had no important matters on hand, she didn¡¯t follow Mo Wuji out of the hall. Once Mo Wuji left the trade forum hall, he didn¡¯t return straight to his residence but went to level 9 Room 19A instead. Even before Mo Wuji could touch the sensor of array at the entrance, a gentle voice could be heard, "Since you¡¯re here, please come on in." The entrance opened up and the first thing Mo Wuji saw when he walked in was Xu Suren working on an equipment which even Mo Wuji had not seen before. The restrictions on the door were put in place once again and Xu Suren completed his work on the equipment before placing it to one side when he saw Mo Wuji walked in. "Rogue Cultivator Mo Wuji greets Senior Xu," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and greeted with an extremely respectful tone. "Immortal Friend Mo, please take a seat. You are a Honoured Grade Tier 7 Immortal Emperor and in time to come, your status would not be any lower than mine. Therefore, there is no need to be so punctilious between us," Xu Suren nodded and said. The fact that he left early and was still aware that Mo Wuji was an Honoured Grade Tier 7 Immortal Emperor showed that someone transmitted the message to him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stand on ceremony because in the Immortal World, power comes with respect. However, Mo Wuji was respectful to Xu Suren not because he was a Level 9 Immortal Emperor but because of his character. From the moment Xu Suren stepped into the trade forum till the moment he left, Mo Wuji noticed that he didn¡¯t exude or display any aura to pressure others. Mo Wuji was also able to sense that Xu Suren¡¯s politeness to everyone was not a pretentious act but a sincere attitude he held with him through his life. There was one more point and that was the fact that he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique because he felt that Xu Suren had a similar type of energy around him. After Mo Wuji sat down, Xu Suren noticed the immortal puppet behind Mo Wuji and said, "This immortal puppet is very strong which even I am unable to forge. If my guess is not wrong, it shouldn¡¯t be from the Immortal World." "Yes indeed, in my eyes, Da Huang is my friend and someone I¡¯ve met coincidentally," Mo Wuji answered. Mo Wuji was already prepared to let Xu Suren observe Da Huang for a while if he requested for it. After all, it would be very hard for a Smith Master like Xu Suren to be not curious at the sight of Da Huang. Looking at how Mo Wuji treated an immortal puppet as his friend, Xu Suren¡¯s eyes lit up and formed an even more favourable impression of Mo Wuji. Neither did he continue harping on the immortal puppet nor request for Mo Wuji to let him have a look at Da Huang but took the initiative to ask instead, "May I know why Immortal Friend Mo is looking for me?" Mo Wuji took out that piece of Heavy Rootless Gold and the Half Moon Halberd Blade before saying, "Junior would like to request senior to help me smith out a new halberd." "Great items," At the sight of the two items Mo Wuji brought out, Xu Suren couldn¡¯t help but to praise it. The first thing Xu Suren grabbed was not the Heavy Rootless Gold but the incomplete Half Moon Green Halberd. After flipping the incomplete halberd for numerous times to look at it, he placed it back on the table without saying anything. Mo Wuji stood up and clasped his fist once more, "Senior Xu, I¡­" Mo Wuji truly wanted a good magic treasure so he intended to use an Primal Fire Crystal to exchange for Xu Suren¡¯s help to forge this magic treasure. Naturally, the value of one Primal Fire Crystal would definitely be much higher than someone¡¯s help to forge a magic treasure so Mo Wuji was intending to request for a Grade 9 flying equipment from Xu Suren too. What Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect was that even before he could complete his sentence, Xu Suren interrupted and said, "Pill Master Mo, are you cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique?" Upon hearing Xu Suren¡¯s words, Mo Wuji confirmed that Xu Suren cultivated this technique too as he nodded straightaway, "Yes, I am indeed cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique. Could senior¡¯s cultivation technique be the same one too?" Mo Wuji was indeed cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique but it was not the Immortal Mortal Technique which Xu Suren thought it was. He was cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique which he had modified himself and in fact, it was the exact opposite because his modified technique was the Reverse Immortal Mortal Technique. Xu Suren didn¡¯t reply Mo Wuji¡¯s question but continued speaking, "Pill Master Mo please wait for me here as I would need about five days to forge this magic treasure. During the process of smithing, I would need some of your blood so that this magic treasure would merge much more thoroughly with you." Mo Wuji was shocked because Xu Suren didn¡¯t mention anything about the price or said anything about whether he was also cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique. He simply agreed to help him just like that? One must know that the price and effort to forge out an offensive Grade 9 immortal equipment should be shockingly high. What is the meaning behind these actions of Xu Suren? At this instance, Xu Suren was already fully focused on analysing the halberd and Mo Wuji could only wait patiently for him to finish before saying anything else. Fortunately, he still had some items with him which should be able to cover the fees Xu Suren might claim from him. Xu Suren analysed the halberd for a full four hours before releasing a flame from his hand. A terrifying temperature could be felt and Mo Wuji subconsciously leaned back away from the flame. There was a tint of redness within the violet flame flower and within the flame, Mo Wuji saw nine faint flower buds. This was a Grade 9 immortal flame? Mo Wuji was secretly speechless because he had no idea how many years he would take to advance his Scholar¡¯s Heart to become a Grade 9 immortal flame if he didn¡¯t obtain the Primal Fire Crystal. The violet flame with a tint of red in front of him was actually a Grade 9 immortal flame and Mo Wuji had no idea what kind of flame it was. He wondered why Xu Suren still wanted an Primal Fire Crystal if his flame was already a Grade 9 immortal flame. The more shocking thing was that Xu Suren actually threw Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Halberd into the flame to start merging it. Even though the Half Moon Halberd was a peak grade treasure, with its restrictions being destroyed, the halberd would eventually melt under a Grade 9 immortal flame no matter how strong the material of the halberd was. Wasn¡¯t he supposed to merge the Heavy Rootless Gold into the Half Moon Halberd to turn it into an improved halberd? If he were to resmith a new halberd from the Half Moon Halberd, would the new magic treasure still be related to the Half Moon Halberd? Wouldn¡¯t it be a brand new halberd? Xu Suren¡¯s hands moved increasingly fast and after the Half Moon Halberd was melted, he sent the Heavy Rootless Gold into the flame. Under the Grade 9 immortal flame, the speed at which the Heavy Rootless Gold melted was extremely fast too. In just half a day, the melted items had been converted into a distorted liquid. Xu Suren constantly executed all sorts of hand seals and with every seal executed, it seemed as though countless of impurities were crowded out. Mo Wuji was also a Grade 5 Immortal Array Master and had been dabbling with restrictions and arrays but he realised that he was still way too far behind the proficiency of this Xu Suren in front of him. No wonder it was said that every smith expert would be a top notch array master. Mo Wuji had no idea how good Xu Suren was in smithing but he was confident that Xu Suren was definitely a peak grade array master. Following Xu Suren¡¯s constant execution of hand seals, the formless halberd started to exude a sharp, murderous intent. "Spurt out some blood now!" At this instance, Xu Suren shouted at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had been in contact with Equipment Dao and was even able to forge out a Grade 2 immortal equipment so when Xu Suren shouted at him, he naturally understood what was going on. WIthout any hesitation, he spurted out some blood into the embryo of the equipment. After Mo Wuji released some blood, the halberd seemed to have a new life within it. The energy of this new life seemed to have faint connections to Mo Wuji¡¯s will. "Continue spurting out more blood¡­" Xu Suren¡¯s face was turning pale as the execution of his hand seals were getting faster. At this moment, he started to draw out all sorts of arrays in the embryo of the equipment. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to waste any time as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Under normal circumstances, two mouthful of blood should suffice but Mo Wuji had no idea that this was only the beginning. Because of Xu Suren¡¯s instructions, Mo Wuji had to constantly spit out mouthful of blood from time to time. Days passed and the embryo started to take the shape of a halberd while Mo Wuji¡¯s face started to turn paler by the day. If not for the support of his Vitality Channel, Mo Wuji suspected that he might not be able to last any longer. When even Da Huang started to feel uncomfortable, Xu Suren shouted, "Collect!" "Boom!" A faint cry could be heard and it was gone in the next second. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too bothered by it as his focus was on the long halberd. "Ding!" A clear sound could be heard a two metres long halberd started suspending in front of Mo Wuji. The long halberd¡¯s body was faint green in colour. However, this green was not sumptuous at all and was in fact, a little ugly because it even looked like there were moss growing on it. About one third of the long halberd had the shape of a half moon and it didn¡¯t look very glorious either. No matter how he looked at it, this long halberd looked like an extremely ordinary magic treasure. Even though he had to grab hold of the halberd, Mo Wuji could feel the connection between the halberd and his heart. Mo Wuji subconsciously opened his palm and the halberd landed onto Mo Wuji¡¯s hand automatically. An extremely sharp and mighty energy was released as a lofty pride surged in Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. He had a sensing that as long as he was willing, he would be able to slice everything apart with this incredible halberd. What a mighty feeling! Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal energy started circulating and the halberd in his hand let out a metres long green radiance surged with killing intent. Mo Wuji hurried to withdraw his immortal energy before bowing excitedly at Xu Suren, "Many thanks Senior Xu for helping junior forge out such an incredible magic treasure." This long halberd looked very ordinary but Mo Wuji was well aware of how extraordinary this halberd was the moment it landed on his hands. This was definitely a Grade 9 immortal equipment and could even be an existence which surpass the Grade 9. The only doubt he had was that this halberd didn¡¯t require him to refine it by himself. "Your blood was added into this halberd so there is no need for you to refine and no one would be able to snatch it away from you. This is a halberd belonging to you alone so you should give it a name," The exhausted Xu Suren appeared as if he could read Mo Wuji¡¯s mind as he explained to Mo Wuji. "I shall call it the Half Moon Weighted Halberd then," Mo Wuji said casually. He knew that he was able to give it a much more creative name but he still felt as though the more ordinary the name was, the more apt it was for his halberd. Chapter 630: The Peculiar Master Xu Chapter 630: The Peculiar Master Xu Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xu Suren nodded his head, "This name seemed pretty strong. This halberd turned from an ordinary weapon to an immortal weapon so the more ordinary the name, the more suitable it was. Regardless, this long halberd is most suitable for you." "Senior, should I change it to a more ordinary name?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask because it wasn¡¯t easy to come up with a simple name. Xu Suren shook his hand, "The first name that came out from your mouth was already recognised by the halberd. It coincides with the Heaven and Earth¡¯s Dao spirituality so there is no need to change it anymore. This would be the name of the halberd." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue speaking because even though he had yet to reach that realm, he could feel the faint laws of that realm. "Senior, because you have forge out such an invaluable treasure for me, I have a¡­" Before the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in front of Mo Wuji, he had no intentions to tell Xu Suren that he was willing to use an Primal Fire Crystal to exchange for his service. After he had seen the Half Moon Weighted Halberd, he changed his mind. For a treasure like this, Mo Wuji was even willing to use two Primal Fire Crystals in exchange for it. Perhaps the Half Moon Weighted Halberd would never be worth the same amount as the Primal Fire Crystal, Mo Wuji had already grew a liking towards it. And to Mo Wuji, nothing was more important than his likings. What made Mo Wuji stressed out was that Xu Suren interrupted his sentence yet again as he even handed Mo Wuji a jade letter and a communication token, "I am not interested in any of your items so this a communication token from me. In the future, just lend me a helping hand if I ever need your help. The jade letter contains some of my insights towards smithing so you should keep it well too. Alright, I want to rest now so I shall not send you to the door. Please take care." He didn¡¯t want anything from Mo Wuji and all he needed was Mo Wuji¡¯s help in the future? Mo Wuji looked suspiciously at Xu Suren and only when Xu Suren indicated for him to leave, Mo Wuji bowed to show his respect before leaving Xu Suren¡¯s residence doubtfully. Something feels wrong here because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even say what he was about to offer so why did Xu Suren thinks that Mo Wuji had nothing he was interested in? It would make some sense if Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t completed the exchange with Ni Fengnie. However, after he took out the Emperor Dao Fruit to exchange with Ni Fengnie, it could be said that nobody would dare to say Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any more decent items with him. How could a reputable figure like Xu Suren make such a mistake? If there was no chance of him making such a mistake, there would only be one possibility left. That was the fact that Xu Suren was aware of the valuable items on him and knew that he even had the Primal Fire Crystal but he simply wasn¡¯t willing to let Mo Wuji bring them out. Xu Suren had clearly just came out of his closed doors and even went to the trade forum in high profile to ask for the Primal Fire Crystal so why was he not willing to let Mo Wuji bring out his items? Besides, he even gave Mo Wuji a jade letter which contained some of his insights and knowledge on smithing? One must know that Xu Suren¡¯s smithing insights and knowledge was something as treasured as the Emperor Dao Fruit. Mo Wuji was certain that he had no association with Xu Suren in the past and was not aware of his existence before this. He lowered his head to look at the communication token before using his spiritual will to scan through it. Following which, he stopped in his tracks before throwing the jade token in his Undying World before leaving in a hurry. Mo Wuji was a Grade 5 Immortal Array Master so he was naturally proficient in his understandings towards communication token. The communication token which Xu Suren gave him was a little peculiar because it contained a trace of Xu Suren¡¯s spiritual imprint. This imprint was not meant to track him but for allowing Xu Suren to meet Mo Wuji once more moments before he dies. Given Mo Wuji¡¯s smartness, he was able to understand Xu Suren¡¯s meaning in the shortest possible time. It seemed like Xu Suren really knew about the valuable items Mo Wuji had with him and was unwilling to take his items and even let Mo Wuji say out what he had. When Mo Wuji arrived at the entrance of his own doors, Mo Wuji was astonished at the crowd of people gathered in front of him door. "Pill Emperor Mo is back!" The excited crowd rushed towards Mo Wuji at the sight of him. Han Long had also walked over before explaining to Mo Wuji, "The trade forum has ended and these people are here to exchange for your immortal pills. Some are even here to invite you to concoct pills for them." Mo Wuji¡¯s mind had been occupied with the Xu Suren¡¯s incident so he really didn¡¯t expect so many people to be gathered here to exchange with him. When Han Long woke him up from his daze, he clasped his fists and said, "Fellow Immortal Friends, because I have been concocting pills for someone for the past few days, I am feeling slightly lethargic now. I would need to rest for about three days so may I ask everyone to come back in three days time? I will start concocting pills of your requests or exchange some of the available pills I have with me three days later." For the Half Moon Weighted Halberd, Mo Wuji had lost too much blood and what he needed now was rest more than anything else. Even though most of the Immortal Friends here were slightly dissatisfied, they could only agree to Mo Wuji¡¯s request. After sending these cultivators away, Mo Wuji put up the restrictions in his residence before taking out the jade letter. The seals on the jade letter were broken easily and the first sentence Mo Wuji saw was, "If a Smith Master requests to take a look at your immortal puppet, you must not agree. For a cultivator who practised the Immortal Mortal Technique, once you¡¯ve reached a certain standard, it would be extremely easy for you to learn pill concoction or smithing. However, such techniques are easy to learn but hard to master. This is because generally, most pills or magic treasures are made from the most ordinary of materials and herbs and this was similar to the Immortal Mortal Technique in the grand Dao Spirituality. You are the only person whom I have seen managed to cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique and reached the Grand Yi Stage. This is my outline and some insights of the Equipment Dao and I hope it will be useful for you in the future." After this would be some of his opinions of the Equipment Dao as there were no other words or hidden meanings. Regardless the case, Xu Suren had good intentions in his heart so Mo Wuji kept the jade letter before swallowing some immortal pills to recover his immortal energy. Three days later, Mo Wuji had fully recovered the immortal energy he lost as he started concocting and exchanging some Tier 7 pills with the interested cultivators. During these exchanges, Mo Wuji¡¯s main purpose was to collect a few Tier 8 immortal herbs or some more important Tier 7 immortal herbs as he began his preparations to become a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. As for the pills that he brought out for exchange, Mo Wuji brought out a total of six Draining Immortal King Pills. It was not that he didn¡¯t have more but because he was reluctant to bring out too many of such pills. The Draining Immortal King Pill was a strategic immortal pill and since he wanted to establish his own sect, he should have more of such pills. Moreover, he had promised some people in the Broken World to help them concoct the Draining Immortal King Pills so in other words, a portion of the Draining Immortal King Fruit belonged to others. Therefore, he would definitely not waste it casually. For over ten consecutive days until Mo Wuji announced that he had stopped the exchange, there were still people streaming towards his residence. Mo Wuji was no longer willing to continue exchanging because during this period of over 10 days, other than publicising his reputation and exchanging out a bunch of Tier 7 immortal pills, he didn¡¯t receive much Tier 8 immortal herbs that he needed. "Fellow Immortal Friends, I wish to go undergo closed doors cultivation for a while. I have basically exchanged out all the Tier 7 immortal pills I had with me so the exchange with me has come to an end," Seeing that there were still about seven to eight cultivators who were unwilling to leave, Mo Wuji expressed his intentions to go behind closed doors so as to chase them away. Mo Wuji was a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor who was not even fearful of Ni Fengnie of the Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect so now that he was unwilling to exchange anymore, nobody dared to force Mo Wuji to exchange with them. Even if they were slightly reluctant to leave, these cultivators had no other choice but to respect his decision and leave. "Why are you still here? I have already said that for the time being, I am not willing to exchange any more pills nor concoct any more pills for anyone," After everyone left, Mo Wuji questioned when he saw a short youth still standing at his entrance. The youth cupped his fist towards Mo Wuji, "Pill Emperor Mo, I would only like to invite you to help me concoct a few furnace of Zhi Desolate Pills¡­" ZHi Desolate Pill? Mo Wuji¡¯s heart skipped a beat because the Zhi Desolate Pill needed the Heavenly Desolate Grass which both himself and Zhuo Pingan needed. Despite his emotions, Mo Wuji¡¯s expression remained calm. He was able to tell that this youth had intentionally paused for a moment when he mentioned the Zhi Desolate Pill. When he noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s calm expression, this youth continued, "If Pill Master Mo is willing to help me concoct the Zhi Desolate Pills, I am willing to tell senior where the Zhi Desolate Grass are located at." Mo Wuji maintained his emotionless expression before saying, "My apologies, I have already mentioned that I am not going to concoct any more pills for the time being. Please take your leave." The place where the Heavenly Desolate Grass could be found was similar to the Heavy Rootless Gold in which there would be nothing else in the area. Additionally, it was in a place where one without vitality wouldn¡¯t be able to find the place with the five elements. Therefore, the Heavenly Desolate Grass was extremely rare. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t agree immediately because he was certain that this youth would not give up just like that. The Zhi Desolate might indeed be a Tier 5 immortal pill but this pill was not something a Pill King could concoct. An ordinary Pill King would find it extremely difficult to perfect the concoction of this pill. This youth looked like he was in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage and he would simply be dreaming if he were to think that he was strong enough to request a Pill Emperor to help him concoct the pills. The only way for him to get the Zhi Desolate Pill would be to continue pleading Mo Wuji. Indeed, when he heard that Mo Wuji had no opinions towards the Heavenly Desolate Grass, the youth¡¯s expression changed slightly and increased the speed of his voice, "Pill Master Mo should know that the Zhi Desolate Pill is used to condense spiritual will and increase the primordial spirit. The reason why I want to concoct this immortal pill was because I found an incomplete scroll and the scroll contained a sacred art to condense the primordial spirit. If Pill Master Mo is willing to help me concoct the pills, I am willing to offer this sacred art to Pill Master Mo." Mo Wuji wanted to hear this sentence because Mo Wuji knew that this youth must have had a primordial spirit related sacred art which was why he wanted the Zhi Desolate Pill. Mo Wuji created his own technique to condense spiritual will but it was still full of weak points and had yet to turn into a proper form. Since he wanted to establish his own sect, he would naturally need a sacred art like this. After finishing his piece, the youth noticed that Mo Wuji had remained silent and when he was about to continue, Mo Wuji suddenly called out for the youth, "Since this is the case, come on in." The moment he entered Mo Wuji¡¯s residence, this youth took out the incomplete leather scroll before passing it to Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, this is the incomplete scroll that I¡¯ve obtained but there are far too many missing parts." Mo Wuji took over the scroll and knew at that instance that this youth was not being honest with him. There were simply far too many missing parts of the scroll and that this was merely the introduction. If this really only the introduction, the youth in front of him would never be able to condense his spiritual will and primordial spirit hence, he would not need the Zhi Desolate Pill. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too bothered by this because his technique was different from everyone else and even if he were to receive a complete sacred art, he would alter it anyway. "Star Sea Sacred Technique?" As he saw the name of the sacred art and the next few sentences, Mo Wuji said in doubt, "This doesn¡¯t seem like a technique for condensing of spiritual will and primordial spirit ah." Chapter 631: Asking For Help Chapter 631: Asking For Help Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After saying that, Mo Wuji sensed that every word on the scroll seemed to contain an endless amount of dao spirituality within it. Every word was like a technique was its own and even though there were only a few sentences on the scroll, Mo Wuji could feel the vast interaction of the universe. The interlace of the vast universe seemed to be forming a few more words. Could this be the letter of Great Dao? The letter of Great Dao was not a simple letter by its own but it is something which looked simple but complicated, turning from complicated to vast and then something simple would be derived from the vastness of the letter eventually. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji¡¯s dao revelation channel seemed to have found a trace of dao spirituality and this spirituality was forming a brand new dao insight. The dao energy started to turn into an embryonic form in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind as Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. He knew that the item on his hand was definitely not a sacred art to condense spiritual will or primordial spirit but a technique to condense the sea of consciousness. From a certain angle, this would be much more rare than a technique to condense spiritual will and primordial spirit. The extent of increase of one¡¯s sea of consciousness would be directly related to the cultivator¡¯s talent, cultivation technique and his own fate. He didn¡¯t expect to have found a true technique to condense his sea of consciousness and he believed that this was much more valuable than the Heavy Gold. The youth in front of him only showed him the introduction while keeping the remaining part of it for himself. However, Mo Wuji believed that this was more than enough because if he were to look through the entire scroll, it might affect his understanding towards the sea of consciousness. "Pill Master Mo, this incomplete scroll is definitely beneficial to the primordial spirit which is why I wanted to try cultivating it with the Zhi Desolate Pill. If Pill Master Mo is willing to help me concoct the Zhi Desolate Pill, this incomplete scroll would belong to you," The youth said calmly. "Alright," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t waste any more time as he kept the scroll without any hesitation before saying to the youth, "Bring out the herbs needed for the Zhi Desolate Pill and also the location of the Heavenly Desolate Grass." The youth was the astonished one now because he didn¡¯t expect the negotiations to be this simple. He thought that Mo Wuji might suspect that he had hidden the remaining parts of the scroll. He had even thought of the excuse to say to Mo Wuji which was why he really didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to not talk about it at all. "Yes, these are the ingredients and the location of the Heavenly Desolate Grass," The youth reacted very quickly as he handed Mo Wuji a storage ring. After four hours, Mo Wuji managed to concoct four batches of Zhi Desolate Pills. Because the Zhi Desolate Pill was a Tier 5 immortal pill, it was simply too easy for Mo Wuji. "What¡¯s your name?" Mo Wuji handed the pills to the youth before asking him abruptly. "Tai Shixiao," The youth was still shocked at Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of concoction and when Mo Wuji suddenly asked him, he answered subconsciously. "Alright, you may leave now," Mo Wuji nodded as he saw Tai Shixiao accepting his pills. On his way out of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, Tai Shixiao was still annoyed at why he told Mo Wuji his name. After sending off Tai Shixiao, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue analysing the Star Sea Sacred Technique because an technique like this was not something he could gain enlightenment in just a few days, not even with his dao revelation channel. What he wanted to do now was to leave the Heavenly Chasm Immortal City with Da Huang to visit the Gods Heavenly Chasm. ... "Bang!" Two shadows landed outside the entrance of a merchant house in the Heavenly Chasm City and all the other cultivators gave way at the sight of the splattering blood. Those who were aware of the rules in the Heavenly Chasm City sighed because these two people must have been chased by others and ended up with nowhere to run which was why they broke through the restrictions of the Heavenly Chasm City and entered forcefully. One must know that the Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s defensive arrays would not always be ignited completely and an ordinary Immortal Emperor would be able to break through it. However, being able to break through it didn¡¯t mean that one would be daring enough to break through it. One had to be held responsible if one were to tear apart the restrictions of the Heavenly Chasm City and anyone who dared to do such things would instantly become the great enemy of the Heavenly Chasm City. "I recognised the two immortal nuns; they were there at the Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s trade forum a few days ago¡­" A small discussion was heard from within the crowd. "I am also aware of them. They were chasing after the Lightning Sect¡¯s elder Qi Junyi and I didn¡¯t expect them to suffer such heavy injuries to the extent that they had to force their way back here." ¡­ The one who forcefully broke the restriction arrays of the Heavenly Chasm City was indeed mentor Yuan Yi and her disciple Su Xi, who had left the trade forum a few days ago. However, Yuan Yi¡¯s energy was distorted and her entire body was filled with blood stains. Other than this, the immortal energy around her was dissipating and death was looming around her. It was clear to everyone that she was escaping desperately from whoever was after her. Nobody would dare to step out at this moment because anyone who was associated with this incident would bring trouble to themselves. Without mentioning the Heavenly Chasm City, even the Lightning Sect was not a sect to anger. "Master¡­" The young nun, Su Xi, was crying in desperation as she held onto Yuan Yi without knowing what to do. A few strong forces hurried into the Heavenly Chasm City and two of them brought along killing intent with them. Yuan Yi managed to force her eyes open and when she saw the mighty forces which had barged into the Heavenly Chasm City, she appeared to be at a loss. Mediation Nunnery don¡¯t usually socialise so they wouldn¡¯t have much friends here. At this moment, she knew that escaping into the Heavenly Chasm City would give her a glimpse of hope but after reaching her, she had no idea where to go and who to ask for help. As the Lightning Sect members were getting closer to her, Yuan Yi suddenly said, "Su Xi, hurry to the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse and get Pill Master Mo to help¡­" Before she could even finish her sentence, she lost her will and the deathly energy which was looming around her grew denser. She was not very close with Mo Wuji but after thinking for a long while, she realised that other than the one time fate with Pill Master Mo, she couldn¡¯t think of anyone else to ask for help. Su Xi had noticed the few people who were approaching them and she was well aware that the moment they fell in the hands of the Lightning Sect, she and her master would be finished. Now that her master ordered her, she didn¡¯t even think as she carried her master and ran straight to the entrance of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. Fortunately, the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse was only half a street away from where they landed. At the same time, a few cultivators from the Lightning Sect continued their pursuit and landed right at the entrance of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse too. "Pill Master Mo, I am begging you to save my master¡­" Su Xi no longer cared about the people behind as she kneel while carrying her master in front of the entrance of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. Mo Wuji just walked out of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse and he saw Su Xi hugging her master and kneeling while pleading for help. Following which, he noticed members of the Lightning Sect chasing after them and an extremely angered Elder Qi Junyi was further behind. Three disciples of the Lightning Sect, which included two men and one woman, were chasing after Su Xi and her master. Out of the two men, one of them was a Grand Luo Immortal while the other was an Immortal Reverent. The woman was an Immortal King. Mo Wuji had lightning attributes sacred art of his own so when he sized the three of them using his spiritual will, he knew that all three of them cultivated lightning attributes sacred art. This was especially so for the Immortal Reverent because even though he was only in the elementary Immortal Reverent Stage, the lightning spirituality around him were forming up well. If a cultivator who cultivated the mana technique were to face up against such lightning spirituality, even before the fight, he would have felt a form of innate restraint. The reason why the Lightning Sect had such great reputation was not unrelated to the Lightning Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. The Grand Luo Immortal sized Mo Wuji up and realised that Mo Wuji would not be his match so he didn¡¯t hesitate as he took a step forward to grab Su Xi. His action was instantly obstructed by the Immortal Reverent beside him as the Immortal Reverent clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, these two people surprised attacked the elder of my Lightning Sect, causing him to suffer sevre injuries. My Lightning Sect wishes to capture these two and we hope that Pill Master Mo would not intervene as we have to answer to our higher ups." The anxious Grand Luo Immortal stopped in his tracks when he heard the words of the Immortal Reverent. If even an Immortal Reverent of the Lightning Sect had to be this polite and respectful to Pill Master Mo, he must not be someone simple. Qi Junyi walked towards them and clasped his fists too, "Pill Master Mo, this is the personal feud between the Lightning Sect and the Mediation Nunnery so I would like to invite Pill Master Mo to stay out of this." As he noticed how terrified Su Xi was, Mo Wuji lifted his hand and Su Xi could feel a strong energy holding onto her as she got onto her feets involuntarily. Even though Mo Wuji and Su Xi were in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, the reality was that Mo Wuji was so many folds stronger than Su Xi. "Junior sister Su Xi, your master¡¯s primordial spirit is dissipating and her vitality is weak. She is already a dead person and no matter how strong I am, I am unable to bring the dead back to life," Mo Wuji said apologetically and while he was speaking, he lifted his hand and sent a stream of vitality energy into Yuan Yi¡¯s body. Mo Wuji¡¯s words were true because back when Cen Shuyin had fallen, the fortunate thing was that her complete primordial spirit managed to enter the Yin Underworld. However, Yuan Yi¡¯s primordial spirit was almost disappearing so how could he save her? After receiving Mo Wuji¡¯s stream of vitality, Yuan Yi woke up. Even right before her death, she managed to realise how precarious the situation her disciple was in. She took out the ring in her hand and placed it in Su Xi¡¯s hand before saying to Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, my Mediation Nunnery always had a direct line of succession so I would like to plead Pill Master Mo to save Su Xi¡¯s life. As for the rest, Pill Master Mo could do whatever you want¡­ Su Xi, you have to listen to Pill Master Mo, you¡­" This stream of vitality managed to allow Yuan Yi to say out what she wanted to say in her final breath but the pity was that even before she could say out her complete will, her primordial spirit had been completely dispersed. ¡­ Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s Castellan Mansion. The person standing in front of Ku Zhu was a grey robe Immortal King as he hurried to say, "Mediation Nunnery¡¯s Lord Yuan Yi had torn the restriction arrays of the Heavenly Chasm City apart but was found dead at the entrance of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. The Lightning Sect including Elder Qi Junyi wants to bring her disciple, Su Xi, away¡­" Ku Zhu nodded his head as he was naturally well aware of the reason for this act. Yuan Yi was simply courting death to think she would actually find Qi Junyi for the exchange. It was her fortune that she managed to make it back to the Heavenly Chasm City alive. However, no one should expect to be alive after having the guts to tear the restriction arrays of the Heavenly Chasm City apart. Since Yuan Yi had fallen, her disciple shall be held responsible for it. Just as Ku Zhu was about to order his men to bring Yuan Yi¡¯s disciple back to the castellan¡¯s mansion, the grey robe Immortal King continued, "Pill Master Mo of the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse decided to intervene as he seemed to have some personal deal with Yuan Yi. He is currently negotiating with the members of the Lightning Sect. Should I bring her here first?" "Hold on¡­" Upon hearing that Mo Wuji was interfering with this incident, Ku Zhu replied, "Go over once their negotiations are over." Chapter 632: The Conflict With The Men From Lightning Sect Chapter 632: The Conflict With The Men From Lightning Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Yuan Yi perished, Su Xi instantly started bawling. Ever since she could remember, she had always been with her master, and all they would do was cultivate. If her master didn''t deduce that Meditation Nunnery''s legacy treasure was about to appear, she wouldn''t even have left Meditation Nunnery. She realised how pleasant life was when she was with her master. She did not have to worry about anything; all she needed to do was to work hard and cultivate. But now that her master was gone, she realised that even though the Immortal World was vast and wide, she actually didn''t know where she could go. Mo Wuji did not care about the bawling Su Xi. Instead, his gaze landed on Qi Junyi. Qi Junyi only looked heavily injured, which was a much better condition than Yuan Yi''s. But when Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on Qi Junyi''s body, he immediately realised that he had underestimated Yuan Yi''s ability. Qi Junyi''s was no less than Yuan Yi''s. It was just that the former had eaten some peak grade healing treasures which suppressed his injuries. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will then landed on Yuan Yi''s fallen corpse. When he saw the fatal energy on Yuan Yi''s body, he finally came to an understanding. When Yuan Yi and Qi Junyi were battling, Qi Junyi actually wasn''t a match for Yuan Yi. The two afflicted injuries on one another, and in fact, Qi Junyi''s injuries were heavier. If nothing unexpected occurred, Yuan Yi would have eventually trump over Qi Junyi and take away Qi Junyi''s lampwick. But just at this moment, something unexpected did occur: someone from Lightning Sect had helped. The ones that helped Qi Junyi are naturally the Immortal Reverent, Immortal King and Grand Luo Immortal in front of him. On the other hand, Su Xi¡¯s cultivation was too low, and she was inexperienced, so she was completely unable to be of help. Even in such circumstances, Yuan Yi was still able to escape with Su Xi, and even managed to flee to Heavenly Chasm City. One could clearly see how impressive Yuan Yi was. Logically, with such heavy injuries, Qi Junyi shouldn''t have pursued Yuan Yi to Heavenly Chasm City. But not only was he able to chase her over, even his accomplices had tagged along. The only explanation was that Qi Junyi hadn''t managed to obtain the lamp dish, and he also wasn''t at ease with asking his men from Lightning Sect to get it for him. That''s why he took the risk to come to Heavenly Chasm City. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji''s killing intent instantly swelled. He also had an enmity with Lightning Sect; back in the Broken Ruins, because of the seven pages of the Book of Luo, he had a clash with Lightning Sect''s Chen Jushan. He was sure that the Lightning Sect knows about the Book of Luo, but they just didn''t manage to find him all this while. If the Lightning Sect were to know of his whereabouts, they would definitely force him to reveal whether Murong Xiangyu had given him the Book of Luo. Even if the matter with the Yuan Yi master-disciple pair didn¡¯t occur, he wouldn¡¯t be friends with the Lightning Sect. If he didn¡¯t have the capabilities, he would eventually be secretly eliminated by the Lightning Sect. Now that Qi Junyi, he should take the opportunity to strike him when he is down. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t give Qi Junyi any face as he said coldly, "I have some relationship with the Yuan Yi master-disciple pair. Today¡¯s matter will end now. Please take your leave." "Pill Master Mo, have you considered the consequences of going against my Lightning Sect?" Seeing that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even going to show them any face, Qi Junyi¡¯s face sunk. If not for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, how could he speak to Mo Wuji in such a manner. "Is the Lightning Sect very impressive? Then let your Lightning Sect come find me. No matter how dire the consequences are, I, Mo Wuji, will be waiting. Go on then. Junior Sister Su Xi, please come in." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to trample over Qi Junyi¡¯s threats. He even wanted to take Qi Junyi¡¯s life, so why would he still want to remain courteous? Qi Junyi¡¯s face turned dark with killing intent. He glanced towards that Immortal Reverent. Even if he had to offer an apology or compensation to Heavenly Chasm City, he definitely wouldn¡¯t let the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp escape from right under his hands. When that Immortal Reverent noticed Qi Junyi¡¯s glance, he immediately grabbed towards the ring in Su Xi''s hand. They were in no rush to kill Mo Wuji; the item was what took precedence. Just as that Immortal Reverent extended his hand, Mo Wuji directly punched his chest. A mere ant actually dared to act against him. As he thought of this, that Immortal Reverent sneered. Just when he prepared to counterattack, he suddenly felt the boundless aura of an Immortal Emperor enveloping him. At that instant, all the space around him had been sealed; he couldn''t move even if he wanted to. "Bang!" Without fail, Mo Wuji''s punch directly smashed against this Immortal Reverent''s chest. His raging immortal elemental energy instantly exploded within this Immortal Reverent''s body. A trail of blood slowly flowed out of this Immortal Reverent''s mouth. The cultivators by the side only saw a simple punch. Only this Immortal Reverent himself knew that he was thoroughly screwed; this punch of Mo Wuji''s had directly destroyed his dao foundation, and at the same time, shattered all his spirit channels. What a vicious fella. This Immortal Reverent''s face turned pale white as he stared hatefully at Mo Wuji. He knew clearly in his heart that he would no longer have a future. Some cultivators who did not know about Da Huang thought that this was Mo Wuji''s personal strength, and their hearts began palpitating in fear. He was able to injure an early stage Immortal Reverent with a single punch; exactly how powerful was he? "Good, good¡­" Qu Junyi''s face was ashen as he muttered those words. He was just about to send a message when two man in maroon coloured robes walked over. The man walking at the front was of a medium build. He kept a beard and he had a stern expression on his face. The man at the back was slightly taller and had drooping eyebrows. He looked as though he was merely passing by. "My Heavenly Chasm City does not allow any conflict or battle." The one speaking was the middle-aged man in front. These two were Immortal Kings and their powers did not seem low; they should be Heavenly Chasm City''s immortal enforcers. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart. Immediately, he wondered whether Ku Zhu would show him face this time around. If Ku Zhu didn''t, then he could only leave Heavenly Chasm City. When Qi Junyi saw this men, he heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn''t have much power left. He was already struggling just to stand here. It was just as Mo Wuji; he wouldn''t be at ease if someone else took the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Even if it was someone from his sect, he wouldn''t rest assured. It was just that he never expected that a wild Mo Wuji would appear. That immortal puppet by Mo Wuji''s side seemed to have the power of an Immortal Emperor. No wonder why this little kid dared to challenge Heavenly Weighted Immortal Sect¡¯s Ni Fengnie to a fight. "These two immortal enforcers, these people tore Heavenly Chasm City''s spatial restriction array, and at the same time, Pill Master Mo actually heavily injured my Lightning Sect''s Immortal Reverent Elder. I request that the two immortal enforcers report this matter to Castellan Ku Zhu and beseech Castellan Ku Zhu to return the order to Heavenly Chasm City." Qi Junyi did not even mention the reason why they were here. Instead, he pointed out the matter of Yuan Yi destroying Heavenly Chasm City''s spatial restriction array and Mo Wuji''s malicious harm towards Lightning Sect''s Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart; indeed, the saying ''the thief is the first to cry thief¡¯ was true. If you didn''t have a status, then someone could randomly point fingers at you and you would be unable to even refute. However, while Mo Wuji wasn''t comparable to a regional lord, he was still someone with a high status. Towards such words, he had no reason for fear. That immortal enforcer clasped his fists to Qi Junyi, then turned to clasp his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, you are of a distinguished status. However, the Heavenly Chasm City prohibits fighting; anyone that fights in Heavenly Chasm City will be punished heavily, or even killed." Mo Wuji clasped his fists in return, "Two immortal enforcers, many people here saw what had happened. I am an esteemed Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor, but this Immortal Reverent still tried to lay hands on me. I only injured him entirely out of self defense. Because this is the Heavenly Chasm City, I went easy on him. Otherwise, things wouldn''t have ended so simply." Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, that Immortal Reverent could not help but cough a mouthful of fresh blood. Even my dao foundation and spirit channels had been wasted and you call that going easy? Then can I ask what do you consider a heavy injury? And did I lay hands on you? The one I was trying to lay hands on was that little nun. As he was thinking of this, that Immortal Reverent suddenly recalled something important. If Mo Wuji was really an ant, how could Mo Wuji be able to easily wreck his dao foundations? If it had been someone else, even if he had been suppressed by an Immortal Emperor, would his dao foundation have been so easily destroyed? Much less his spirit channels? One must know that every person''s dao foundation and spirit channels were different. How did Mo Wuji know the position of his dao foundation and his spirit channels so acutely? Could it be that this pill refiner wasn''t actually a low levelled immortal, but a real Immortal Emperor expert? And the one that helped him wasn''t that immortal puppet¡­ When he thought of this, that immortal Reverent started to shiver. "Is this really the case?" That immortal enforcer¡¯s gaze turned to the injured Lightning Sect Immortal Reverent. This Immortal Reverent was currently worrying that if Mo Wuji was really an Immortal Emperor expert, then would he let go of the Lightning Sect? Because he was engrossed in his thoughts, he was completely unaware of the immortal enforcer''s question. When that immortal enforcer didn''t receive a reply, he directly said, "It seems like that''s the truth. In that case, the person at fault isn''t Pill Master Mo. Also, there''s one more matter, someone destroyed our Heavenly Chasm City''s spatial restriction array. Does Pill Master Mo know anything about this?" Qi Junyi sighed in his heart because Mo Wuji was indeed speaking the truth; Lightning Sect was indeed the one that made the first move. However, the person he was attacking wasn''t Mo Wuji, but that little nun. Unfortunately, he did not dare to say this. If he did, even an idiot would know that there was something precious in the little nun¡¯s ring. Moreover, acting on the little nun was still the same as acting first. Mo Wuji sighed and said, "This matter is indeed true. If Yuan Yi was still alive, I would have definitely persuaded her to apologize to Castellan Ku. At the same time, I will ask her to compensate for all the damages incurred by Heavenly Chasm City. But, Yuan Yi is¡­ Hai¡­" When he got to this point, Mo Wuji sighed once more. Then he clasped his fists and said, "Even if Yuan Yi is no longer around, an apology still needs to be made. I, Mo Wuji, will apologize for Yuan Yi. After this matter ends, I will personally make a trip to the castellan mansion to apologize to Castellan Ku." Before the immortal enforcer came, they had received Ku Zhu''s instructions; they naturally knew Ku Zhu''s intentions. When he heard the sincerity behind Mo Wuji''s words, and the way Mo Wuji seemed to place Heavenly Chasm City''s reputation as the top priority, he nodded, "Since the person involved is already dead, then we will let the matter rest." Thereafter, he turned to Qi Junyi and said, "Elder Qi, even though this Immortal Reverent from Lightning Sect was the one that had been rash in his actions, on the account that he was injured, we will end the matter here. Everyone, if you wish to pursue this matter, please do it outside Heavenly Chasm City. "Naturally, naturally¡­" Mo Wuji clasped his fists, then casually said some additional words of courtesy. Thereafter, he brought Su Xi back to Heavenly Chasm Resthouse. As he looked at Mo Wuji''s back, Qi Junyi seethed with killing intent. After some time, he gave a long sigh and said, "Let''s go." In Heavenly Chasm City, he was completely helpless against Mo Wuji. He would need to first return to Lightning Sect and think of another plan. Before Mo Wuji even returned to his room, he sent Zhuo Pingan a message, asking Zhuo Pingan to immediately leave Heavenly Chasm City to eliminate all these people from Lightning Sect, including Qi Junyi. Chapter 633: The Ordinariness That Could Not Be Transcended Chapter 633: The Ordinariness That Could Not Be Transcended Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations To Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t be able to reconcile his problems with the Lightning Sect. Since that¡¯s the case, he might as well kill of one of their Immortal Emperors to take a cut at their power. Moreover, he even heard that this Qi Junyi was the Lightning Sect¡¯s strongest Immortal Emperor. After killing him, Mo Wuji was sure that the Lightning Sect would definitely have a headache. But would he wait till Qi Junyi recovers to kill him? He was not that dumb. Mo Wuji did not know what kind of plaything that lamp was, but since Qi Junyi had endured his heavy injuries just for it, Mo Wuji knew that the lamp wasn¡¯t simple. Now that the lamp didn¡¯t end up in Qi Junyi¡¯s hands, it would be weird of Qi Junyi simply let the matter drop. If Qi Junyi was given time to recover, he would definitely find all sorts of ways to eliminate him, Mo Wuji. Now, he did have some power, but that power did not belong to him; a portion of it was from Da Huang, while another portion of it was from Zhuo Pingan. In this sort of situation, he wasn¡¯t going to allow himself to constantly be on Qi Junyi¡¯s hunting checklist. ¡­ "Grand Elder, how could that Mo Wuji be so strong? Elder Ming is an Immortal Reverent, but he was heavily injured with just a simple move?" After leaving Heavenly Chasm City, that girl asked with a hint of lingering fear; she was the one controlling the flying treasure. By the side, Qi Junyi¡¯s face was still unsightly. When he heard those words, he snorted, "How powerful can that mere Mo Wuji be. I didn¡¯t expect that the immortal puppet beside could be so strong; it should be on the level of an Immortal Emperor. Wait till my injuries recover, I will return to settle this debt." If he wanted his injuries to recover quickly, he could only return back to his Lightning Sect¡¯s Lightning Pond. This was also the reason why he wanted to leave Heavenly Chasm City as soon as possible. "Grand Elder, will that Mo Wuji chase after us and eliminate us?" That Grand Luo Immortal was slightly worried. Qi Junyi sneered, "He does not have the guts. He¡¯s merely depending on that immortal puppet of his." He really didn¡¯t fear a pursuit from Mo Wuji. First, there was no need to talk about the spiritual intelligence of a puppet. Even in terms of speed, that immortal puppet wouldn¡¯t be comparable to his flying treasure. If Mo Wuji really dared to come after them, then he would try all means necessary to ensure that Mo Wuji never returns to Heavenly Chasm City. A puppet that had the power of an Immortal Emperor was still a puppet. An unintelligent thing could never hope to be able to stop him, Qi Junyi. Even with all his heavy injuries, he, Qi Junyi, was still an Immortal Emperor. "You¡¯re wrong. He really has the guts. If not, I wouldn¡¯t be here." A warm and gentle voice could be heard. Thereafter, the silhouette of a person appeared in front of the ship. The ship was forcefully enveloped in a powerful domain and it screeched to a stop. "Who are you?" Qi Junyi suddenly stood up. As he looked at this pale scholar in front of him, his heart could not help but pound with shock. Even though he was not the one controlling the flying ship, a person that could easily force a flying ship controlled by an Immortal King to stop must definitely be an Immortal Emperor expert. Moreover, this person¡¯s aura was even stronger than him before he got all these injuries¡­ That means that even if he wasn¡¯t injured, he wouldn¡¯t be this person¡¯s match. Before Zhuo Pingan could answer, a name suddenly appeared in Qi Junyi¡¯s mind. He immediately said solemnly, "Could this immortal friend be the Cape of Peace¡¯s Zhuo Pingan?" Zhuo Pingan easily landed on the deck of Qi Junyi¡¯s flying ship. The seals over the ship were simply like thin air to him. "I never expected that someone was able to recognise me outside of the Cape of Peace." Zhuo Pingan¡¯s footsteps were very slow. He also spoke in an idle manner, seemingly in a state of nolstalgia and solitude. "Immortal Friend Zhuo, my Lightning Sect does not have any enmity with you. But Immortal Friend Zhuo suddenly blocked our way. What¡¯s the meaning of this?" Qi Junyi wasn¡¯t an idiot; he could clearly feel Zhuo Pingan¡¯s killing intent. Zhuo Pingan¡¯s sudden appearance wasn¡¯t to engage in idle chit chat with him, but to kill him. "I was here under orders. Who asked you to offend Mo Wuji? He asked me to kill all of you, so I had to come. Ah, life¡¯s tough. I have actually become someone¡¯s hired thug." Zhuo Pingan sighed as he slowly raised his hand. "What?" Qi Junyi stared at Zhuo Pingan in a daze. He truly didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji was even able to bring Zhuo Pingan under him. With Zhuo Pingan, even the entire Lightning Sect did not have the rights to find Mo Wuji for revenge. He could clearly feel Zhuo Pingan¡¯s killing intent. His heart felt like it had been dunked into a bucket of ice water. If he could do this all again, he would rather not have obtained the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp¡¯s lampwick. ¡­ "Junior Sister Su Xi, tell me what happened." When they returned the room, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to reform the seals and ask this question. The little nun carefully placed Yuan Yi down, then she wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes as she said, "That Lightning Sect¡¯s Qi Junyi plotted this. He lured my master out to somewhere not far from Heavenly Chasm City. My master said that she wanted to trade for that lampwick, and she even offered Qi Junyi the things that he wanted. After Qi Junyi received the things that my master prepared for him, he did not go back on his words as he threw that lampwick to my master. But just as my master caught the lampwick, Qi Junyi suddenly attacked. My master hurriedly kept it and had a huge battle with him. Eventually, both of them fought to a standstill. Just when I was about to bring my master to leave, he was so despicable as to call the other people from Lightning Sect to surround us. My master risked her life to escape to Heavenly Chasm City¡­" The part that came afterwards did not need to be said; Mo Wuji already knew about it. "Is that lamp very important? Your master should not have know of Qi Junyi¡¯s ideas, right?" The only thing that Mo Wuji did not expect was that Yuan Yi could actually be so strong, to even be able to suppress Qi Junyi. If this was put in some other words, if Yuan Yi had not been so agitated during the trade which resulted in her being sneak attacked by Qi Junyi, this trade might have ended smoothly. Su Xi nodded, "Yes, it¡¯s the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. It is one of the core treasures of my Meditation Nunnery. In the past, my master told me the Meditation Nunnery was the number one Buddhist sect in the entire Immortal World. However, because the lampwick of the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp went missing, the Meditation Nunnery gradually went into moribund, and eventually became a sole legacy." "You¡¯re saying that now that your master is dead, you¡¯re the only person left in Meditation Nunnery?" Mo Wuji asked in doubt. Su Xi nodded, then she shook her head. After her master died, she did not know where she could go. However, she knew that regardless what happened, she must not let the Meditation Nunnery end. "You seem to have some words to say?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly when he noticed Su Xi¡¯s conflicting actions. Su Xi hesitated before saying, "Actually, Meditation Nunnery has another branch, it¡¯s called the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡­" "That¡¯s not right. You said that the Meditation Nunnery¡¯s core treasure is the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, so the Great Kun Buddhist Sect should have been the main sect, right?" Mo Wuji immediately detected the flaws in Su Xi¡¯s words. Su Xi shook her head and said, "It¡¯s not like that. The Great Kun Buddhist Sect was only formed by some disciples who left the Meditation Nunnery after the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp disappeared. It¡¯s said that a great war happened those years ago. After the war, the Meditation Nunnery began to crumble. The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp had also disappeared during that war." "Then is the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp¡¯s lamp dish in your master¡¯s hands?" Mo Wuji continued asking. Su Xi was as clean as a piece of white paper; she completely didn¡¯t know anything about schemes or anything of the like. The moment Mo Wuji asked her this question, she did not have any qualms as she answered, "Yes, this lamp dish is incredible. It was because of this lamp dish that my master was able to know the direction of the lamp wick. The reason why my master brought me to Heavenly Chasm City was to merge the lamp dish and the lampwick." "Then does the Great Kun Buddhist Sect know that the lamp dish is with the Meditation Nunnery?" Mo Wuji asked one question after another. "They don¡¯t know. My master said that they must not know. If they ever find out, they would definitely not let go of my Meditation Nunnery." When he heard Su Xi¡¯s words, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk. From the looks of it, he didn¡¯t merely deepen his enmity with the Lightning Sect by saving Su Xi; he even formed a new enemy. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji felt bouts of pain in his head. If he were to let this paper-clean little nun out to fend on her own, it would be akin to throwing her out to die. But if he kept her behind, then he would be forming more enemies. This was unless Su Xi decides to give the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp away when Great Kun Buddhist Sect comes. However, the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was something that Yuan Yi had exchanged her life for, would Su Xi simply give it up like that? "If the Great Kun Buddhist Sect came for your Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, what would you do?" Mo Wuji still decided to ask this question; such matters needed to be confronted upfront. Su Xi went into a daze; she had just realised that the Lightning Sect was not the only one coveting her Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. The Great Kin Buddhist Sect wanted it to. Soon, she answered resolutely, "This was exchanged for with my master¡¯s life. I will never hand it to them, unless I die." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, then he said, "You¡¯re lacking experience. In the future, if anyone asks you about the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, you must say that you don¡¯t know anything about it." Su Xi stared at Mo Wuji blankly. She only nodded after some time. "You should go to the room and rest. I will help you handle the other matters. Once a person is dead, he cannot be brought back to life. What you need to do now is to raise your cultivation," Mo Wuji consoled. When he first met Su Xi, Su Xi would even joke with him. She was innocent and naive, without any stains from the viccissitudes of life. After experiencing all these things, Mo Wuji could see a hint of haziness in Su Xi¡¯s eyes. Some times, growing up was accompanied by darkness; Su Xi would slowly enter into this contaminated world and he had no means of stopping it. He only hoped that she would still be able to maintain her pure heart. Su Xi bowed to Mo Wuji, then she carried her master into the other room. Mo Wuji released the seals on the door and Zhuo Pingan walked in. He looked at Su Xi¡¯s room and sighed, "You just caused another huge trouble." Mo Wuji ruffled his hair; how could he not know that he was in deep trouble. Even though the Meditation Nunnery was merely a sole legacy sect, it had an expert like Yuan Yi. Since that Great Kun Buddhist Sect was a branch of the Meditation Nunnery, how could it be simple? But would he just let Su Xi go? He was sure that the moment Su Xi¡¯s first feet left Heavenly Chasm City, the rest of her body would quickly be turned to a corpse. Mo Wuji really couldn¡¯t bear to do such thing. Sometimes, he felt that he was already adapted to the cruelty of the Immortal World. But he found that he was still an ordinary human, with an ordinary heart. He was unable to neglect the sanctity of life. Even though he was already at the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, as well as a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he was still unable to transcend this ordinariness. However, he did not want to transcend this ordinariness. Chapter 634: What’s Meant To Come, Will Come Chapter 634: What¡¯s Meant To Come, Will Come Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Great Kun Buddhist Sect is very strong. Since you have gotten yourself in this mess, I suggest that you look for Su Xi and ask her for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Perhaps it might be of some use to you." When Zhuo Pingan entered, he left behind some rings, said these words, then shook his head and left Mo Wuji¡¯s room. Mo Wuji picked up the few rings. He did feel slightly grateful towards Zhuo Pingan. There was an Immortal Emperor¡¯s storage ring among these rings; there would definitely be many good things inside. Zhuo Pingan was actually willing to leave all these things to him. Moreover, the seals in these rings weren¡¯t even touched. Clearly, Zhuo Pingan was indeed a straightforward and upright man. Of course, Mo Wuji knew the meaning behind Zhuo Pingan¡¯s actions. That is if the Lightning Sect were to pursue him, he, Mo Wuji must bear the responsibility for eliminating those people from Lightning Sect. Regardless, Mo Wuji had noted this favour in his heart. Even if Zhuo Pingan hadn¡¯t given him these rings, he would not deny his involvement in the matter. In reality, anyone with a functioning brain would know that he was the one that killed those people from Lightning Sect. Who else would be willing to form an enmity with the Lightning Sect? Mo Wuji did not immediately ask Su Xi to show him the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. He knew that Su Xi was still at a loss. He wanted to give this little nun some time. Returning to his room and forming the seal on the door, the first thing Mo Wuji did thereafter was to take out Qi Junyi''s ring. Qi Junyi had already been killed by Zhuo Pingan so his ring was very easily opened. When Mo Wuji saw the things within Qi Junyi''s ring, Mo Wuji finally realised how ´óÆø Zhuo Pingan was. The number of high grade immortal crystals was counted in the billions; to be exactly, there were definitely more than 1.5 billion immortal crystals. And that was just a small portion of his fortune. The immortal herbs and smithing materials were at least Tier 5 (or Grade 5 for smithing materials), and a majority of them were Tier 7 and above. Immortal euipments, pills, talismans, they all formed huge piles of their own; Mo Wuji even suspected that he was in the treasury of a sect. Thereafter, came the technique jade letters. Mo Wuji roughly swept through them with his spiritual will; there were plenty of sacred arts and a plethora of skill manuals. This fella was clearly a moving department store; the more Mo Wuji looked, the more Mo Wuji looked, the more excited he got. He even found some lighting crystals; not only could lightning crystals be used by lightning type cultivators to cultivate, it could also be used to forge lightning type magic treasures. This was a Grade 9 smithing material that was simply priceless. Finally, Mo Wuji found a green pearl. When his spiritual will penetrated into the pearl, he discovered that this was a moving immortal herb garden. This immortal herb garden contained all five elements, and it even had the elements of light and darkness. There was no need to talk about the various immortal herbs inside, just the value of this garden alone was immeasurable. However, he soon found that these things still did not count for much. Because within this immortal herb garden, he actually found two huge immortal spirit veins. Mo Wuji only needed to feel the energy to know that there were high grade immortal spirit veins. He truly was an Immortal Emperor expert; he''s simply too rich. Mo Wuji actually felt that he was considered quite rich, but except for his Breath of Hongmeng and the Primal Fire Crystals, the other things he had wasn''t even equivalent to a random corner in Qi Junyi''s ring. As for the other three cultivators, while they were also quite wealthy, they simply weren''t on the same level as Qi Junyi. Mo Wuji organised everything nicely, then threw them into his Undying World. Thereafter, he kept a huge pile of immortal crystals in his storage ring. Originally, he wanted to continue practising on Tier 8 immortal pills. But now that he had so many high grade crystals, he decided to change his mind. With so many immortal crystals, be naturally had to cultivate. The Pill Dao was only secondary in the true path of cultivation. Huge piles of immortal crystals were directly thrown out, and using the immortal crystal method, Mo Wuji installed a peak grade spirit gathering array. Mo Wuji knew that his cultivation method was different from others; he needed much, much more immortal crystals. If it wasn''t inconvenient for him to enter his Undying World here, he would have already used the immortal spirit vein inside. Millions of immortal crystals were piled up in this array, and with a hum, the spirit gathering array activated. At that instant, all of Mo Wuji''s meridians started to reverse circulate. Copious amounts of immortal spiritual energy were sucked out of the crystals, and in a short amount of time, a dense fog of immortal spiritual energy formed around Mo Wuji. In merely an hour, all of Mo Wuji''s neighbors knew that Mo Wuji was cultivating. This was because Mo Wuji''s cultivation was truly causing a huge disturbance. Even in a place like the Heavenly Chasm City, he was able to form a whirlpool of immortal spiritual energy. Fortunately, Mo Wuji''s adjacent neighbors were Zhuo Pingan and Han Long. They both knew of Mo Wuji''s extraordinariness and they were already used to Mo Wuji''s cultivation method. As for Su Xi, it seemed to her that it was only just the previous night when she was with her master. Knowing that Mo Wuji was undergoing secluded cultivation, she arranged her master''s stuff and also started to cultivate. ¡­ Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Huge piles of immortal crystals were reduced to dust by Mo Wuji''s crazy absorption rate. Even though his cultivation speed had been elevated, he was still far from the intermediate Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji also knew that cultivation was the culmination of ages of hard work. Even with amazing talent, if one didn''t encounter a fortuitous event, one could only progress a step at a time. Sometimes, even if one encountered a fortuitous event, he would still need to build a firm foundation. To everyone, cultivation wasn''t a simple matter of reaching the Heavens in a single step. Mo Wuji chose to cultivate his physique. One reason was his insanely powerful Lightning Calamities, and another reason was that he worried that his cultivation might process much faster than his fleshly body would endure. There was still some time to the opening of Gods Tower. Mo Wuji decided to wholeheartedly devote himself to cultivation because he was clear that Zhuo Pingan and Han Long wouldn''t interfere with him during this period. What left Mo Wuji surprised wa that Han Long clearly knew that he was in secluded cultivation, but she actually sent him a message, saying that he had received Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s Castellan Ku Zhu¡¯s invitation. If it was any other person, Mo Wuji would definitely have dismissed and disregardd it. However, he couldn¡¯t do so for Ku Zhu. There was no need to talk about how he had received Ku Zhu¡¯s support previously during his trade at Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, but Ku Zhu even implicitly stood by his side during the matter with Su Xi. Ku Zhu had helped him repeatedly, but he had yet to pay a visit to express his thanks. Now that Ku Zhu had specially invited him over, he naturally couldn¡¯t reject it. "Brother Mo, you¡¯re going out?" The moment Mo Wuji emerged from his room, Su Xi detected it and she also hurriedly came out. After spending two months adjusting herself, she had become thoroughly clear of her current predicament. Besides following Mo Wuji, all other roads undoubtedly led to death. Mo Wuji looked at Su Xi and sighed. The innocent little nun was gone; her eyes weren¡¯t clear and uncontaminated like before. Instead, there seemed to be a stain of hatred within them. She even changed his salutation from Senior Brother to Brother. A piece of white paper might remain pristine and clean for many years, but it only needed a single moment to stain it. Mo Wuji nodded, "Su Xi, stay here and cultivate. Work hard to improve your cultivation. Here, no one would dare to do anything against you. Of course, that¡¯s on the premise that you don¡¯t go out." Zhuo Pingan was here so Mo Wuji believed that no one would dare to come over to their living area with any malicious intents. "Yes Brother Mo. I will stay here." Su Xi bowed respectfully. ¡­ Heavenly Chasm Pond. It wasn¡¯t actually an immortal pond, but a park. Here, one can drink the best immortal wines and eat the tastiest immortal fruits in the entire Immortal World. At the same time, this was also a great place for a gathering. Heavenly Chasm City Castellan Ku Zhu¡¯s greatest pride wasn¡¯t his Heavenly Chasm City, but his Heavenly Chasm Pond. Just as Mo Wuji reached the entrance of Heavenly Chasm Pond, a pretty hostess walked over, "Welcome Pill Master Mo¡­" "You are Pill Master Mo? The same Immortal Friend Mo Wuji that rescued my sect¡¯s Yuan Yi¡¯s disciple?" A warm and affable voice sounded by Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. In merely a breath¡¯s time, a monk and a nun appeared in front of Mo Wuji. The monk had a medium built, but he had a face that resembled Guan Yu [1]; handsome and heroic. However, this wasn¡¯t what caught Mo Wuji¡¯s attention; Mo Wuji noticed that this monk¡¯s eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, it was as round as sphere, and it was completely flawless. This was definitely an Immortal Emperor, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s unknown whether he was at the early stage or late stage. The nun was slightly older. Her loose daoist robes made it impossible to see her figure. From her breath and aura, Mo Wuji could deduce that this nun¡¯s cultivation was not low either, it should not be lower than Kui Fengyun when Mo Wuji first saw him back in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji knew that Kui Fengyun was a Quasi-Emperor then, so this nun should also be a Quasi-Emperor. It seems like what¡¯s meant to come, will come. Mo Wuji sighed, but he still clasped his fists in courtesy, "Yes, I am Mo Wuji. You two are?" Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t afraid of these two fellas. He had Da Huang by his side. He wasn¡¯t afraid of Lun Cai, so what more this monk and this nun. The monk placed his palms together and spoke using a warm and resonant voice, "This poor monk is Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Guang Ning. This over here is my Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Defender Tai Sha." The nun also placed her palm together and gave a buddhist bow. "Haha¡­ Your Great Kun Buddhist Sect is actually really wealthy. I heard of your Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Buddhist Herb Valley and that it contains a plethora of peak grade immortal herbs." A loud chortle could be heard. Thereafter, a slender man with a sharp and defined face walked over. This man seemed like he was immersed within the clouds; Mo Wuji was completely unable to discern his cultivation. However, just from his voice alone, it evoked a heavy and oppressive pressure. One could clearly see how impressive this person was. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes contracted slightly; he was sure that this man was even more powerful than Zhuo Pingan. Behind this man, there was a pretty girl in a red dress. The girl looked very young; her long and lustrous hair was bundled into a bun; her beauty seemed like it was taken out of a painting. She was definitely a gorgeous beauty. Guang Nian laughed slightly and he placed his palm together and bowed, "Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Guang Nian greets the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor¡¯s sacred arts are increasingly vast and boundless. It¡¯s not something that I can compare with." Heavenly Emperor? Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding. Heavenly Emperor wasn¡¯t a cultivation level, but an address for the king of an Immortal Domain. Guang Nian actually called this man a Heavenly Emperor; Mo Wuji started to wonder which Immortal Domain was this Heavenly Emperor from. "Very good, very good. Master Guang, please make your way then. I wish to chat with Pill Master Mo," The man said casually. Even though Guang Nian still wanted to speak with Mo Wuji, at this moment, he could only say, "Since that¡¯s the case, then this monk will find a later opportunity to thank Pill Master Mo." With that, Guang Nian brought Defender Tai Sha into the Heavenly Chasm Pond. [1] Yes, Guan Yu is the God of War of China. Chapter 635: An Enemy Is Here Chapter 635: An Enemy Is Here Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Pill Master Mo, I had just done you a favour." After Guang Xing 1and Tai Sha entered, this man smiled and said to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew this person¡¯s intentions, but he chose to act oblivious as he said, "This immortal friend, I don¡¯t really understand what you are saying." "Haha¡­" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, this man started to chuckle. However, immediately after, he said, "Pill Master Mo, ever since I, Gai Ao, entered the Dao, this is the first time a mere Grand Yi Immortal addressed me as an immortal friend." Gai Ao? A thought immediately flashed in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind as he instantly knew who this man was. He had never seen Gai Ao before, but he had heard of this name. Lin Gu was the one who told him about it; Gai Ao was the Heavenly Emperor of Six Paths Immortal Domain. He was also the expert who went to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond to save his daughter. The reason why Lin Gu knew that it was possible to resurrect someone using the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond was because of this precedence of Gai Ao. If this person in front of him was Gai Ao, then clearly, this person¡¯s cultivation was extraordinary. From the looks of it, this gorgeous beauty in the red dress was very likely to be Gai Ao¡¯s daughter, Gai Feiyan. "Mo Wuji greets Heavenly Emperor Gai. Because of my inexperience, I wasn¡¯t able to recognise the Heavenly Emperor. I seek the Heavenly Emperor¡¯s forgiveness," Mo Wuji clasped his hands and said apologetically. He had no enmity with Gai Ao, so Gai Ao probably wouldn¡¯t cause any trouble for him. From the way he looked at it, a person like Gai Ao definitely wouldn¡¯t want to form any relations with a mere Grand Yi Immortal like him. Previously, he had addressed Xu Suren as a senior, but he did not necessarily have to address Gai Ao in the same way. In terms of cultivation, he did, indeed, have to address Gai Ao as a senior. But from a different perspective, he was also an Emperor level figure. If a Pill Emperor could be compared to an Immortal Emperor, then he could indeed, grudgingly, be placed on the same level of seniority as Gai Ao. Since they were on the same level of seniority, then why must he lower himself. Not only was Xu Suren an Immortal Emperor, Xu Suren¡¯s achievement in the Smithing Dao was vastly above his in the Pill Dao. Moreover, Xu Suren also cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. To address Xu Suren as a senior was very suitable. "You¡¯re really a Tier 7 Pill Emperor?" The red dressed girl suddenly asked out of curiosity. Mo Wuji, once again, clasped his fists and said, "Mo Wuji greets this senior sister. I am indeed a Tier 7 Pill Emperor." "This is my daughter, Gai Feilan," Gai Ao suddenly grinned and said. Mo Wuji suddenly startled. Immediately, he knew the meaning behind Gai Ao¡¯s words: You called my daughter Senior Sister, so whether you say it out loud or not, I am your senior. When he heard Gai Ao¡¯s words, Mo Wuji impression of him actually improved. He immediately said, "The Heavenly Emperor¡¯s love for your daughter is known throughout the Immortal World. Mo Wuji admires your act deeply." "Hahaha¡­" Gai Ao chuckled once more, "It isn¡¯t easy to get admired by a Pill Emperor like you. This time, I specially came to Heavenly Chasm City to see the Pill Emperor that dared to go against the Lightning Sect, and even dared to go to Soul Condensing Immortal Pond to save his friend." Mo Wuji noticed that when Gai Ao was speaking, Gai Feilan¡¯s beautiful eyes were staring at him, giving him a feeling of apprehension. "The Heavenly Emperor must be joking. This little one behaved recklessly as though I was a Heavenly Emperor. I guess I give off the impression of overestimating my own strength." Mo Wuji did not know what these two¡¯s intentions were, so he could only reply casually. Gai Ao¡¯s face turned serious and his tone also became solemn as he said, "Even though I don¡¯t know what treasure you had which allowed you to survive the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, but seeing how you took the risk to participate in Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition, then obtained the Underworld Heart Flower, and eventually go to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond to save a life, I know that you are a person that values kinship and friendship. So today, when Guang Xing came to you asking for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, I helped you to avert the trouble." Mo Wuji sighed. Indeed, everyone already knew about the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. If this Heavenly Emperor also wanted the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, then he really wasn¡¯t able to protect it. "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji intentionally acted surprised. "It doesn¡¯t matter whether you¡¯re feigning it or not, we will talk in greater detail when we go inside. Anyway, I have one thing to say to you, I really admire you," Gai Ao snickered, then he went into the Heavenly Chasm Pond. Mo Wuji saw that Gai Feilan seemed to be waiting for him, so he hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Feilan, please head in first. I will walk behind you." Gai Feilan¡¯s face had actually turned red. She lowered her head with an ¡®En¡¯, then she swiftly walked in. Mo Wuji¡¯s EQ was definitely not lower than 250. The moment he saw Gai Feilan¡¯s expression, he jolted slightly. In his heart, he was thinking: That doesn¡¯t seem right. He had never met Gai Feilan before, so was there a need for such an expression and attitude? Moreover, Gai Feilan was already at the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, which was much higher than him. He did not think that he had the looks of Adonis. To be able to attract a girl with a single look was simply bullsh*t. When the hostess, that was receiving the guests, saw that the Gai father-daughter pair had entered, she hurriedly said, "Pill Master Mo, the castellan tells you to be careful. Everyone here is too strong, he is unable to help you." Mo Wuji nodded and expressed his thanks. Then, he also walked into the Heavenly Chasm Pond. He had the help of Da Huang, so as long as the other party wasn¡¯t on the level of Gai Ao, he was confident that he should still be able to protect himself. The moment he entered the Heavenly Chasm City, he felt rich immortal spiritual energy rush towards him. A waterfall, of unknown origins, cascaded over a lotus flower pond and a few immortal cranes flew around the sky. The fragrance of the lotus from the lotus flower pond pervaded through the air, evoking the sense of being in a dreamy paradise. A few covered bridges and rotating pavilions floated in mid-air, immersed in the rich immortal spiritual energy, adorning this dream-like place with greater mysticism. Immortal wine and immortal fruits floated in mid-air, and they were all over the place. Anyone could casually pluck one out and consume it. In a pavilion not far away, there were some immortal ladies dancing gracefully. Many of the immortals that were already here were engaged in their own conversations, occasionally taking a sip of the immortal wine. Not only did Mo Wuji not know a majority of the people here, he didn¡¯t even see most of them before. However, there was one thing Mo Wuji did know, that was the cultivation of these other guests were very high. There basically wasn¡¯t another Grand Yi Immortal. Even if there was, that Grand Yi Immortal was accompanying a senior. Mo Wuji also casually grabbed a cup of immortal wine and drank it. The cold and distinct wine fragrance instantly exploded in his mouth; that feeling of intoxication directly spread into Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians. Even though Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t cultivating, he could feel his cultivation rising. What an amazing immortal wine; Mo Wuji praised in his heart. All this while, he had always been eating pills, using immortal essence or using piles of immortal crystals. It was the first time that he had such amazing effects with a single cup of wine. From the looks of it, he had only been living a peasant life in the Immortal World. He had never thought of getting some of such wine. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji grabbed another cup of wine. A whole different wine sensations spread throughout his entire body. Mo Wuji did not only feel his entire body relaxed, all the way down to his pores, but he could also feel his cultivation rising. Another one. Mo Wuji was not going to let such a good opportunity go to waste. He grabbed a third cup of wine. Three different cups, three entirely different flavours. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to grab a fourth cup. He was very curious whether every cup here contained a wine of a different flavour, and whether every cut could bring a rise to his cultivation. "Where did such a cockroach come from?" A voice suddenly resounded, causing Mo Wuji, whose eyes were slightly close in enjoyment, to open his eyes. Mo Wuji stared coldly at the fella who just spoke. It was a tall and sturdy man who was barefooted. What was most drawing about him was his long hair. It wasn''t because of its length, but because the hair was gold in colour. Because of his towering figure, the long spear on his back did not look jarring. This person''s cultivation wasn''t high; he should be in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. However, his killing intent had already started to seep out of his body, giving off the impression that he had just emerged from a sea of blood and corpses. "Ni Ju, this is no cockroach. Let me introduce the all of you, this is Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor Mo." A delicate voice same over. Thereafter, three ladies walked over. The one in front was a pretty dame. On first glance, this pretty dame wasn''t particularly stunning. However, the more you looked at her, you could feel her startling magnetism. She was different from other women; usually, people attract others with their outer appearance. However, this pretty dame''s attractiveness came from the inside. She had the kind of beauty that got better the more you looked at her. Among the two ladies behind her, Mo Wuji recognised one of them. She was Mo Xianmo. Previously, when Yan Zhenjiang acted all pompous in front of him, she was the woman who he asked to screw off. The other lady was even prettier than Mo Xianmo, and she seemed to have the same quality as that pretty dame. The more you looked at her, the prettier she got. She gave the impression of an otherworldly beauty. These three people weren''t simple, especially that pretty dame. Mo Wuji suspected that she had that special characteristic because of a unique cultivation technique. Not only that, her cultivation was not low. In Mo Wuji''s perspective, she should at least be a Quasi-Emperor, or an expert half a step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. Could these three ladies be from the Green Immortal House? "Ni Ju greets Senior Qing Yang." When the tall, barefooted and golden-haired man saw the pretty dame, he actually bowed. After bowing, he immediately turned and stared at Mo Wuji coldly, "So you''re Mo Wuji, the fella that said that anyone who killed a disciple of Tian Ji Sect would become your enemy? Oh right, not long ago, I just killed a few disciples of Tian Ji Sect. Let me think how I killed them¡­ Oh, I remember now, I skinned them and impaled them and I dragged them into the immortal city. Yup, that''s how I did it. Actually, that''s what I do every time I kill a Tian Ji Sect disciple¡­" A deep killing intent started to brew in Mo Wuji''s heart. At the end of the day, he was the Tian Ji Sect Head back in Zhen Xing. This b*stard had killed the Tian Ji Sect disciples in such a brutal way, and after he killed them, he even humiliated them. If he wasn''t able to settle this enmity, then he didn''t deserve to be a sect head. Feeling the killing intent emanating from Mo Wuji, that pretty dame said, "Pill Master Mo, let me help you with an introduction as well. Ni Ju is the disciple of the Great Sword Path''s Elder Sa Jian. I heard that Elder Sa Jian has just stepped into the late Immortal Reverent Stage." Great Sword Path¡¯s Sa Jian? Mo Wuji immediately recalled who that was. Tian Ji Sect was destroyed because of Sa Jian. This fella also had another disciple called Huang Sha. Huang Sha ascended from Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and he killed 317 geniuses from Yong Ying Immortal Domain before escaping to join the Great Sword Path. Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed his killing intent as he clasped his fists to that pretty dame and said, "May I know how I may address this immortal friend?" Chapter 636: Venerable Envoy From The Very High Heavens Chapter 636: Venerable Envoy From The Very High Heavens Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The beautiful dame smiled sweetly, "Green Immortal House Lord Qing Yang greets Pill Master Mo. Actually, my title isn¡¯t fully accurate because I¡¯m only the second House Lord of Green Immortal House. Actually, I came here today to apologize to Pill Master Mo. A few days ago, one of my disciples, Mo Xianmo, had a clash with Pill Master Mo. We hope to seek Pill Master Mo¡¯s forgiveness." By the side, Mo Xianmo hurriedly bowed to indicate her apology. "So it¡¯s House Lord Qing Yang," Mo Wuji returned the courtesy and continued, "what happened previously was simply a small matter. There¡¯s no need to mention it. In the future, I, Mo Wuji, still have to rely on your Green Immortal House. I hope that House Lord Qing Yang wouldn¡¯t be so stingy when that happens." Mo Wuji knew why the other party respected him like so. It wasn¡¯t because of his talent or something of the like, but because he was a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. The Green Immortal House was one of the ten great sects in Gods Immortal Domain, so it was necessary for them to befriend a Pill Emperor like him. Mo Wuji naturally also wanted to befriend Green Immortal House; it¡¯s said that Green Immortal House¡¯s information network spans throughout the entire Immortal World. He might not necessarily need help from Green Immortal House now, but it was better to form such connections. Qing Yan grinned and said, "My Green Immortal House will definitely welcome Pill Master Mo. Pill Master Mo, this is my daugher Qing Ruoyue." When Qing Yang saw that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t as arrogant as the rumours said, she heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately, she introduced the young beauty by her side. As expected by Mo Wuji, she was here to befriend him. Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Tier 7 pill Emperor; there would only be benefits for her Green Immortal House to befriend him. "Qing Ruoyue greets Brother Mo." The young girl by Qing Yang¡¯s side hurriedly came forward to greet Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also returned the courtesy. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Ni Ju attempting to leave. He promptly took a step forward and blocked Ni Ju¡¯s way, "You brutally killed the people from my Tian Ji Sect. Do you think you can just leave without accounting for what you have done?¡¯ When Ni Ju saw that Mo Wuji had blocked his way, he jolted slightly, but he immediately started to chuckle, "I, Ni Ju, finally know what is crazy. Is a Pill Emperor very impressive? Only a live Pill Emperor is impressive; a dead Pill Emperor is no different from a dog." "Pill Master Mo, what¡¯s the meaning of this? Could it be that you want to start a fight here?" Just as Ni Ju finished speaking, before Mo Wuji could even reply, an icy cold voice interrupted. "Qing Yang greets Elder Sa Jian." Qing Yang did not wait for Mo Wuji to ask anything as she clasped her fists and said. Mo Wuji knew that Qing Yang was trying to tell him who this person was. He never expected that this fella was actually Sa Jian, the fella that destroyed the Immortal World¡¯s Tian Ji Sect. As he looked at this fella, Mo Wuji could tell that he was indeed in the late Immortal Reverent Stage. This fella had a face uglier than a horse, and he was thinner than a stick. When juxtaposed against Ni Ju, it was like a withered twig next to a tree. "I heard that you have joined forces with Zhuo Pingan, and together with Zhuo Pingan, you managed to heavily injure an Immortal Reverent from Lightning Sect. It¡¯s even said that it¡¯s unknown whether Qi Junyi is still alive. That matter is also probably related to you. Today, Zhuo Pingan isn¡¯t with you. I truly want to see what methods you have." As Sa Jian was speaking, his sharp and oppressive Immortal Reverent aura had already boomed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had been in secluded cultivation for so long. With so many people investigating on his whereabouts, it did not come as a surprise that people had discovered his association with Zhuo Pingan. Without a peak expert like Zhuo Pingan, Mo Wuji probably wouldn¡¯t have dared to challenge Grand Emperor Lun Cai even if he was a Pill Emperor. However, Lun Cai did not reveal the matter of Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal puppet, so everyone didn¡¯t know exactly how impressive Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal puppet was. After all, this was common knowledge; in the Immortal World, no matter how strong an immortal puppet was, it generally wouldn¡¯t exceed the Immortal Reverent level. Who had seen an immortal puppet at the level of an Immortal Emperor before? Even with Xu Suren¡¯s level, he could only forge an immortal puppet on the level of an Immortal Reverent at the most; Xu Suren was completely unable to forge an immortal puppet on the level of an Immortal Emperor. Even though Xu Suren couldn¡¯t forge an immortal puppet as powerful as Da Huang, he could tell Da Huang¡¯s power. However, not everyone had the same discernment as Xu Suren. Qing Yang casually waved her hand and Sa Jian¡¯s violent and oppressive aura vanished without a trace. Sa Jian looked at Qing Yang in confusion, "House Lord Qing Yang, my Great Sword Path had always had a cordial relationship with your Green Immortal House. What¡¯s the meaning behind your actions?" Qing Yang smiled and said, "Immortal Friend Sa Jian is misunderstanding my actions. I¡¯m worried that your actions may be too rash. This gathering was organised by Castellan Ku Zhu, and it¡¯s said that people from up there might come down. If Immortal Friend Sa does anything reckless, the people from up there might blame you. That would be too dangerous." Slightly far away, Gai Feilan said anxiously, "Father, that pole seems to want to do something bad to Pill Master Mo." Gai Ao chuckled, "My daughter hasn¡¯t left the house but her elbow already seems to be bending in the opposite direction. I¡¯m afraid that in the future, you might not even recognise this old father of yours." Gai Feilan¡¯s face turned bright red as she said hurriedly, "Father only knows how to talk nonsense." Gao Ao then said with a serious face, "This Pill Master Mo is considered quite loyal and affectionate, and he is also rather capable. He just barely meets your requirements. However, that does not mean that he has met my requirements. If he wants to marry my, Gai Ao¡¯s, daughter, this is far from enough. If he isn¡¯t able to get out of his own problems, then such a person really isn¡¯t worth my, Gai Ao¡¯s, eye. A fella that only knows how to draw trouble to himself; am I supposed to protect him from all of that?" "Father¡­" When Gai Feilan heard these words, she instantly went anxious. Ever since she came back to life from the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, Gai Feilan had set a standard for her dao companion. For one, he must be capable. Two, he must be loyal and true to his closed ones. Three, he must have the courage to enter the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond for his closed ones. Regarding her three conditions, it was because she wanted to find a man that was like her father; capable and doting of her. After all, she was saved from the Soul Condensing Pond because of her father Gai Ao. In reality, when she set these standards, she basically doomed herself to a life without a dao companion. Where was she going to find such a person? Even if there were people that could meet the first two criteria, there wasn¡¯t anyone that could fulfil the third one. After all, anyone who jumped and entered into the Soul Condensing Pond would basically die. However, such a person had actually appeared; that person was the newcomer Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t ascended to the Immortal World for a long time, yet he had already become a Honored Grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor. How impressive was that? Additionally, Mo Wuji singlehandedly, with no regards for his own life, jumped into the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond to save his friend from the cultivation world. Even though he did not manage to successfully save his friend, his mere act of doing it had already met Gai Feilan¡¯s standards. Sa Jian said indifferently, "My Great Sword Path will naturally know how to show our respects when the people from up there come. However, this junior actually dared to show disrespect to my Great Sword Path. This is no longer a personal matter as it also involves my Great Sword Path¡¯s reputation." At the same time, Sa Jian transmitted a message to Ni Ju, "Immediately kill him. No matter what happens, our Great Sword Path will be able to take the blame." Knowing that Mo Wuji had borrowed Zhuo Pingan¡¯s power to kill an Immortal Emperor from Lightning Sect, Sa Jian had always been in a state of threat. The longer Mo Wuji was alive, the greater that threat would be. This place was not the best place to kill Mo Wuji, in fact, this place would result in the most serious consequences if he were to kill Mo Wuji. However, no matter how serious the consequences could be, it would not be as important to him as his own life. Sa Jian did not think that he was more impressive than Lightning Sect¡¯s Qi Junyi. Mo Wuji was even able to kill Qi Junyi. Now that Mo Wuji had also publicly announced that he would stand up for Tian Ji Sect, how could he, Sa Jian, want to continue taking this risk? Sa Jian did not know how powerful Mo Wuji was, but he had done his investigations. He had to take this opportunity that Zhuo Pingan wasn¡¯t around to kill Mo Wuji; it would be too late if Mo Wuji was to regroup with Zhuo Pingan. If Mo Wuji was dead, he would have to accept a portion of the blame. However, he believed that Ku Zhu would be able to see the benefits that he would offer. As long as he paid the compensation, and helped Ku Zhu to regain this loss in reputation, then no one would care about the already dead Mo Wuji. NI Ju had long wanted to kill Mo Wuji. Now that he had received his master¡¯s orders, why would he still be patient; his killing intent concentrated as he prepared to stab with his spear. Just at this moment, a resonant voice resounded, "Please welcome the Venerable Envoy from the Very High Heavens!" "Hurry and stop." When Sa Jian heard that voice, he didn¡¯t care about anything else as he hurriedly pulled Ni Ju back. Ni Ju was not a fool; when he heard that voice, he had also paused before his master even said anything. If they were to act against Mo Wuji now, his master and him would be killed, and even his Great Sword Path would be razed. The Great Sword Path was strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was nothing but an ant when compared to the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart; if Ni Ju and Sa Jian didn¡¯t make a move, then he really didn¡¯t dare to do so either. He could only swear at this dogsh*t envoy for coming at such a timing; if this envoy had arrived 10 breaths later, he was confident that he would have been able to eliminate Sa Jian and his disciple. At this instant, a clean-shaven youth in yellow robes had already walked in. There were two people by his side; Mo Wuji recognised one of them as Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s Castellan Ku Zhu. The other person was wearing a crown; he had brown hair, a tall and sturdy figure, and bright eyes. His aura was not half a bit weaker than Gai Ao. Mo Wuji guessed that this person was very likely to be Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor, Ou Gu. Seeing these three people walk in, the originally scattered immortals came from all over to pay their respects and greetings. Mo Wuji saw that even Gao Ao had clasped his fists in respects, and he knew that the yellow robed youth definitely wasn¡¯t simple. He had heard of the Very High Heavens; even though he didn¡¯t know what kind of plaything this Venerable Envoy was, he did not dare to be conspicuous as he joined the rest of the crowd to clasp his fists. The yellow robed youth swept across the crowd, then he said gently, "Everyone, please be at ease. Today, I have received to orders to come here for the Gods Tower. At the same time, we will select several exceptional disciples to cultivate in the Very High Heavens¡­" Everyone knew that this envoy from the Very High Heavens was definitely here because of the Gods Tower. However, they never expected that the Very High Heavens would also be selecting disciples to go there and train. At this instant, everyone held their breaths in anticipation as they waited for the names of the lucky people to have been chosen by the Very High Heavens. The yellow robed youth nodded, seemingly satisfied with the respect paid towards him. He announced loudly, "May the following disciples prepare yourself, the moment the Gods Tower closes, you will follow me to enter the Very High Heavens. Six Paths Immortal Domain Devil Immortal School¡¯s Lu Jiazhi, Sala Buddha Immortal Domain Seven Buddha Great Temple¡¯s Yi Ning, Gods Immortal Domain Green Immortal School¡¯s Qing Ruoyue, Luo Ling Immortal Domain Great Sword Path¡¯s Fang Shijiang¡­" Chapter 637: Dao Emperor Chapter 637: Dao Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Among the names that the yellow robed youth reported, Mo Wuji was familiar with a few of them. Among those that he was familiar with, almost all of them were Nine Star Geniuses. It could be deduced that amaong those that he didn¡¯t know, most were probably Nine Star Geniuses as well. The yellow robed youth stopped after saying close to 20 names. Even though some sects whose names weren¡¯t mentioned were slightly disappointed, they didn¡¯t dare show any form of disrespect to this yellow robed youth. Feeling the respect from the crowd, this yellow robed youth nodded contentedly and said, "Originally, before these talented disciples go to the Very High Heavens, there was supposed to be an assessment for them. Thereafter, we would also organise an independent selection.. But because the Gods Tower is opening soon, and to save time, we will do without the assessment. This time, I have come to Gods Immortal Domain, not only to recruit disciples, but to also formulate the plans to enter Gods Tower. Thus, I don¡¯t have time to go around every single sect and I made use of Castellan Ku¡¯s gathering to share my news. For the immortal friends here, pass on this news to the sects that aren¡¯t here today. Tell them that during our selection of disciples, do not waste our Very High Heavens¡¯ time. After this, i will still need to discuss with Castellan Ku Zhu and Heavenly Emperor Ou Gu about the exact details regarding the opening of Gods Tower, so I wouldn¡¯t disturb anyone any further. When the time comes, I will request Castellan Ku Zhu to distribute the gifts that my Very High Heavens has prepared for the few of you." When this yellow robed youth prepared to leave, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. When he heard that the yellow robed youth was here because of the Gods Tower, his heart began to filled with concern; he was worried that the matter of his Univeral Peak Token would be exposed. Even though Nai He was the only one who knew of this, who could be sure that Nai He would reveal this matter to anyone else? Moreover, Nai He was in the Heavenly Chasm City now, and she might even be in this Heavenly Chasm Pond. Ku Zhu clasped his fists apologetically and said, "Various immortal friends, I invited everyone to this gathering on behalf of Heavenly Chasm City. But because of the matters regarding the Gods Tower, I will not be accompanying you. I seek the forgiveness of my immortal friends. Everyone, please rest assured. The moment the matter with the Gods Tower concludes, I, Ku Zhu, will definitely offer a proper apology and present the gifts from the Very High Heavens. Lastly, I wish that everyone would enjoy your time in the Heavenly Chasm Pond today." Ku Zhu was going off to discuss matters with the Venerable Envoy from the Very High Heavens, so the crowd was naturally forgiving of him. After Ku Zhu, Ou Gu and the yellow robed youth left, Mo Wuji heard Gai Ao¡¯s voice transmitted into his ear, "Pill Master Mo, I wonder if you are free?" When Mo Wuji saw that Sa Jian and Ni Ju had already left, he knew that now wasn¡¯t a good time to kill those to fellas. He would need to wait. "Of course I am free. Even though I don¡¯t know what the Heavenly Emperor wishes to say, I, Mo Wuji, will definitely listen to them humbly." Mo Wuji concealed the killing intent in his heart. Gai Ao smiled faintly, "You should not have any killing intent here. There¡¯s no need to talk about how that sickly scholar isn¡¯t here, even if he was, killing someone from the Great Sword Path would only lead to death." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jolted; he discovered that he had seemed to have walked into a dead end. That is, if Great Sword Path killed him, it would only be treated as a trivial matter; but if he killed someone from the Great Sword Path, then he would definitely have to be constantly on the run again. He had always thought that he had been on the same playing field as everyone else, but with Gai Ao¡¯s reminder, he came to a rude awakening. With his mere status as a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he wasn¡¯t on the same level as the Great Sword Path. Don¡¯t just see how there were many people trying to befriend him; if he were to really start a war with the Great Sword Path, probably none of them would help him. In fact, it would already be really good if they only watched the show and didn¡¯t try to strike him while he was down. "Many thanks for the Heavenly Emperor¡¯s reminder. Mo Wuji will take it to heart." Mo Wuji sincerely expressed his gratitude. Gai Ao laughed faintly, then he said, "Follow me then." "Aunt Yang, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to look for Pill Master Mo?" Seeing Mo Wuji leave with Gai Ao, Mo Xianmo asked in doubt. In reality, she had also wanted to ask where Mo Wuji was from. Mo Wuji shared the same surname with her, and she suspected that Mo Wuji might have come from the same family. Qing Yang looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s back and smiled, "Originally, I wanted to hook Ruoyue up with Mo Wuji¡­" "Mother¡­" Qing Ruoyue exclaimed in surprise; she did not know of this matter. She had only met Mo Wuji today. Now that her mother had said such a thing, how could she not be flustered and shocked? Qing Yang spoke with a solemn tone, "Ruoyue, you must not underestimate this Pill Master Mo. I know of his origins very clearly. He was from Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡­" "Could he be a cultivator that ascended to Yong Ying Immortal Domain?" Mo Xianmo asked curiously. Qing Yang sighed and spoke with a tone of admiration, "If he was merely an ascended cultivator, I wouldn¡¯t have thought as highly of him, I wouldn¡¯t even have bothered investigating on him. I¡¯m sure the two of you heard of Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Half Immortal Domain; it¡¯s the trash place created by the self-defeating Yong Ying Immortal Domain. All cultivators in Half Immortal Domain practically aren¡¯t able to be able to come to the Immortal World. However, this Mo Wuji traversed across the Immortal Chasm to come to the Corner of Yong Ying¡­" "What?" Even Qing Ruoyue looked at Qing Yang in shock. As people from Green Immortal School, they were all too clear of Yong Ying¡¯s Immortal Chasm. There, a Xuan Immortal, or even a Grand Yi Immortal would face a 90% possibility of dying. When Mo Wuji reached Half Immortal Domain, his cultivation would only be at the Earthly Immortal Stage at the very most. And, would it even matter if he was a Heavenly Immortal at that point? He was actually able to cross a place that no one else was able to survive through? And he was a pill refiner. Usually, the combat power of pill refiners were among the lowest. Qing Yang nodded, "Everything that I have said is true. When this person go to the Corner of Yong Ying, he was able to kill Golden Immortals while at the Heavenly immortal Stage. Before Yong Ying Immortal Domain dispatched any experts over, he was actually the tyrant of the Corner of Yong Ying. And not much time had passed since then, but he had already progressed to such a level. He even managed to get an expert like Zhuo Pingan on his side. As days pass, how could he remain as another tiny fish in the pond? Ruoyue, you might have a Nine Star talent, and even be the head of the Green Immortal House¡¯s Seven Fairies, I believe that this Mo Wuji would be a suitable match for you. Don¡¯t just look at how he doesn¡¯t have any foundations nor any backers; his potential is simply staggering." Qing Ruoyue also went silent; she knew that what her mother said was true. This Mo Wuji did not have any background or foundation; he was equivalent to a grass in this Immortal World. However, this grass was able to use its own power to grow to such a level. This was definitely not what an average person could achieve. "If I¡¯m not wrong, this Gai Ao probably also has the same intentions; he wants to find a son-in-law for his Feilan. He probably wants to recruit Mo Wuji, this Tier 7 Pill Emperor, to his Six Paths Immortal Domain," Qing Yang said as she looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s disappearing figure. "Ah, then Aunt Yi, why are you simply letting Pill Master Mo go?" Mo Xianmo asked in astonishment. Qing Yang smiled faintly, "The circumstances have changed. If Ruoyue wasn¡¯t chosen by the Very High Heavens, then Mo Wuji would have been the best option. But it¡¯s different now; Ruoyue would soon be going to the Very High Heavens. How many geniuses are there in the Very High Heavens? There will definitely be people like Mo Wuji. Moreover, this Mo Wuji truly does not seem to control himself. Just because of his talent, he seems to have gotten arrogant and offended many people. In just a short period of time, he offended the Lightning Sect, Lun Cai, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, Great Sword Path¡­ I am sure that he will continue to offend many more. Even though this person is capable, he is a double edged sword. Since Ruoyue would have better options, it is better to abandon this one." Qing Ruoyue¡¯s graceful eyebrows wrinkled slightly; she did not really like the way her mother did things merely for personal interest. However, she understood her mother¡¯s intentions. She was a person that would be going to the Very High Heavens; she would be walking a completely different path from Mo Wuji. Her mother¡¯s choice wasn¡¯t wrong. ¡­ Within a pavilion in Heavenly Chasm Pond, Gai Ao indicated for Mo Wuji to sit down. By the side, Gai Feilan had already prepared two cups of immortal wine for Mo Wuji and Gai Ao. "Since Heavenly Emperor Gai has called me over, is there something of the matter?" Mo Wuji asked. In front of Gai Ao, Mo Wuji did not have a single shred of self-confidence. Even though Da Huang was standing right behind him, Gai Ao was truly too wrong. Da Huang simply wouldn¡¯t be a match. "You should have some questions that you want to ask me. You can ask them first," Gai Ao smiled and said as he drank the wine. Mo Wuji did have many questions. Now that Gai Ao had allowed it, he naturally wouldn¡¯t be courteous. He clasped his fists and said, "Heavenly Emperor Gai, what kind of place is the Very High Heavens? Even a Heavenly Emperor needs to be so polite to a mere Venerable Envoy?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Gai Ao¡¯s face turned serious. He raised his hands to form a few seals, then he said slowly, "Wuji, you must have come from the mortal world, right? In the mortal world, there¡¯s the emperors and the officials. To draw a parallel, the Very High Heavens is where the emperor stays. The few of us are his officials." "Southern Heavenly Gates? Jade Emperor?" Mo Wuji unconsciously said in astonishment. Gai Ao furrowed his brows slightly, "What Southern Heavenly Gates and Jade Emperor?" Mo Wuji hurriedly waved his hand, "This junior suddenly thought of the myths from my mortal world. There¡¯s a Jade Emperor, and the entrance to where he stays is the Southern Heavenly Gate." Gai Ao did not seem to mind. He nodded, "It¡¯s roughly as you said. The emperor in the Very High Heavens is called the Dao Emperor. It¡¯s said that his power has already passed the Immortal Emperor Stage and he has reached a whole new realm. I am also a Grand Emperor. Over these years, I have traversed across the Immortal World but I¡¯ve never even come close to reaching the Dao Emperor¡¯s level. Not only me, this is also the same for the other Immortal Emperors in the Immortal World. Don¡¯t just look at how we seem to reign supreme in the Immortal World. In reality, in front of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo, we are not even seen as ants." Mo Wuji subconsciously exhaled a breath of cold air. He was all too clear of the power of an Immortal Emperor. Grand Emperor Lun Cai could crush him with a single finger. He had an experience of that power during the battle between Zhuo Pingan and Lun Cai. If the two of them went all out, they would turn multiple huge immortal cities into ashes within a single exchange. If they weren¡¯t even ants in front of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo, then how impressive was that Dao Emperor Zi Changluo? "Then the various Heavenly Emperors in the Immortal World are designated by the Dao Emperor?" Mo Wuji had already calmed down. Gai Ao sighed, "That¡¯s not the case. The Heavenly Emperors all got their positions based on their own abilities and combat power. The Dao Emperor does not care about this. But the moment a person gets close to the Dao Emperor¡¯s realm, I¡¯m afraid¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started to turn cold. He was suddenly reminded of his Undying World. At this instant, he felt as though the Immortal World was the Dao Emperor¡¯s own world. They were all within the Dao Emperor¡¯s little world. Chapter 638: Rejecting The Good Intentions Chapter 638: Rejecting The Good Intentions Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Gai Ao did not know what was on Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. But if he did, he might be thoroughly speechless. It was true that the Immortal World was under the jurisdiction of the Very High Heavens, but it was not the Very High Heavens¡¯ backyard; it was completely different from a little world. "Wuji, I feel that your cultivation isn¡¯t high, but you have offended many people." Gai Ao changed the topic. Mo Wuji knew that they have come to the reason why Gai Ao called him over. He cast his previous thoughts to the side as he said awkwardly, "I also didn¡¯t intend for that. Even without my knowledge, I had already offended people." Did he want to offend Lun Cai? Just because he had some ability, he had unconsciously offended Lun Cai. This was unless he was willing to lower himself; to slave himself for Lun Cai despite the fact that Lun Cai had killed his people. If he really did that, he, Mo Wuji, would rather have died. Did he want to offend the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? He was simply disgusted when he saw the actions of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. If he was to feign civility with them, he was worried that his dao heart would be negatively affected. As for the Great Sword path, he was already destined to be enemies with the Great Sword Path the moment he because the sect head of Zhen Xing¡¯s Tian Ji Sect. Such a thing clearly couldn¡¯t be avoided. The only enemy that he could have avoided was the Lightning Eye. If he chose to turn a blind eye to what happened, then his enmity with the Lightning Sect could have been kept within control. Unfortunately, he, Mo Wuji, had seen the Yuan Yi master-disciple duo get bullied in front of his very eyes. If he was to turn a blind eye and let Su Xi, that little nun, get taken away, then he wouldn¡¯t be Mo Wuji. "Are you interested in going to my Six Paths Immortal Domain¡¯s Yue Lun Immortal City?" Gai Ao smiled and asked. Mo Wuji knew of Yue Lun; it was the Heavenly Emperor City of Six Paths Immrotal Domain; i.e. the immortal city that Gai Ao stayed in. It was rumored that it was one of the most exceptional immortal cities in all the seven Immortal Domains. Before Mo Wuji could reject, Gai Ao asked another question, "Pill Master Mo, what do you think of my little daughter, Feilan?" Even though Gai Feilan was an expert that was about to reach the Immortal King Stage, when she heard her father¡¯s words, she still lowered her blushing face. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Feilan is excellent and exceptional. Whether is it in terms of appearance, or talent, she is outstanding." Gai Ao nodded, "Your eyesight is not bad. Feilan is slightly appreciative of you. What I¡¯m saying is, after you go to Six Paths Immortal Domain, you can roam around the Immortal World with Feilan. The two of you have been to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, so you have several common topics." Gai Ao didn¡¯t dally around as he directly talked about getting Mo Wuji to become Gai Feilan¡¯s dao companion. Since it had already gotten to such a stage, Mo Wuji also didn¡¯t dare to act courteous any further. He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Gai Ao, "Whether is is in terms of talent or status, Senior Sister Feilan exceeds me. I will only lower her status by being with Senior Sister Feilan. Moreover, I already have a dao companion, so it isn¡¯t very suitable for me to be with Senior Sister Feilan." Gai Ao¡¯s face immediately sunk; his tone also took a sharp turn as he said, "Do you think that Zhuo Pingan is enough to maintain your safety? If so, then you¡¯re grievously mistaken. Each one of your enemies are stronger than Zhuo pingan. Moreover, you will soon have another huge enemy, the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. If not for the fact that you are a loyal person, do you think I would value you?" Mo Wuji was not humble, nor haughty, as he replied, "Many thanks for the Heavenly Emperor¡¯s appreciation. But if I were to find a backer merely because I was afraid, then I wouldn¡¯t be Mo Wuji. I seek the Heavenly Emperor¡¯s understanding." "Hmm! You don¡¯t know how to appreciate favours. Feilan, let¡¯s go." Gai Ao suddenly stood up and turned to leave. Gai Feilan shot Mo Wuji a look of loneliness, then she lowered her head and rushed off with her father. At least, she felt that one of Mo Wuji¡¯s ideas was right; if Mo Wuji simply hid behind a Heavenly Emperor because he was afraid of death, then he wouldn¡¯t be Mo Wuji, and he wouldn¡¯t be worth her respect. Just as the Gai father-daughter left, Guang Xing and Tai Sha seemed to be like specters as they appeared in the pavilion. "Amitabha. This poor monk is able to meet Pill Master Mo once again." Guang Xing placed his palms together and smiled. "These two masters, please take a seat." Mo Wuji¡¯s head was aching; he knew the reason why Guang Xing and Tai Sha were here, and he knew that he wasn¡¯t able to do anything. The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was exchanged for with Yuan Yi¡¯s life; Su Xi probably wouldn¡¯t want to hand it over to the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. As for Yuan Yi, if she had been willing to hand it over to the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, that she wouldn¡¯t have carried the lamp dish around for several years by herself. "Benefactor Mo¡­" Just as Guang Xing said these two words, Mo Wuji raised his hands to stop him, "Master Guang Xing, I think it¡¯s better to call me Pill Master Mo." The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp wasn¡¯t his, so he didn¡¯t have the rights to be called a benefactor. Guang Xing did not mind as he changed the address, "Pill Master Mo, on behalf of Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Guang Xing would, once again, like to thank you for saving my sect¡¯s Yuan Yi and her disciple¡­" Mo Wuji interupted Guang Xing¡¯s words again, "Master Guang Xing, I really don¡¯t dare to accept your gratitude. Yuan Yi was from the Meditation Nunnery. I¡¯m don¡¯t really know what¡¯s the relationship between Meditation Nunnery and Great Kun Buddhist Sect, nor am I interested to know. I had only saved Junior Sister Su Xi casually. Su Xi had already thanked me, so there¡¯s no need for any further thanks from anyone else." Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t dare to acknowledge such a gratitude on behalf of Su Xi. If he did so, it would be equivalent to saying that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s. If he accepted it, he would be making things hard for her. Tai Sha, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly had a solemn expression on the face. The three buddhist beads on her neck started to glow with grey light. When Mo Wuji felt this light, he unconsciously released his domain. This grey light was killing intent. He never expected that this Tai Sha would be so murderous; he had merely said a sentence and she had already developed killing intent towards him. Guang Xing began to chant the names of Buddha, then he said, "Pill Master Mo, Yuan Yi has a lamp called the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. This buddhist lamp is the core treasure of my Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Now that Yuan Yi has perished, I request that Pill Master Mo return the buddhist lamp to my Great Kun Buddhist Sect. My Great Kun Buddhist Sect will be endlessly grateful." When Mo Wuji heard these words, he began to seethe in anger. He understood it now. Previously, he believed that Guang Xing wanted to use him to get to Su Xi. But from the looks of it, this person believed that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was in his, Mo Wuji¡¯s, hands. They were saying that it wasn¡¯t out of goodwill that he, Mo Wuji, saved Su Xi. And that he did it for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. He had thought too much of a gentleman in Guang Xing. It was truly hard to be a good person in this day and age. "Master Guang Xing, I said it before. I don¡¯t know anything about the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. I had only helped Meditation Nunnery¡¯s Yuan Yi and her disciple. If Master Guang Xing has a matter, you should find the people from Meditation Nunnery. I am not related to this." Mo Wuji did not want to create another enemy of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Even though Guang Xing suspected him, he still wanted things to end calmly. If Su Xi was willing to hand the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, then it woudn¡¯t be his matter anymore. If Su Xi wasn¡¯t willing, then with Zhuo Pingan, Guang Xing and Tai Sha wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. "Hmm!" Tai Sha snorted coldly, "Pill Master Mo, an honest man doesn¡¯t lie. How could a little girl like Su Xi be your opponent? You dare say that you didn¡¯t save Su Xi because of the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp? If it was anything else, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect wouldn¡¯t have mind. But we must take back our Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. If Pill Master Mo doesn¡¯t want things to blow up, then return the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp to its rightful owner. If you¡¯re not willing, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect also has a Grand Emperor existence and we¡¯re not afraid of you." Looks like the other party was bent on believing that he was the big bad wolf that saved a little white rabbit. Mo Wuji knew that there was no use for any further debate, nor was he even interested in debating. He slowly stood up and said indifferently, "The fact that your Great Kun Buddhist Sect has a Grand Emperor is none of my business, nor will I be threatened. Moroever, I don¡¯t want to continue wasting my words pointlessly. As for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp that you guys want, I don¡¯t know anything about it." With that, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered about the two of them as he turned and walked out of the pavilion. For no good reason, he had another burden on his back. Mo Wuji really felt really discontented. Moreover, he was also very sure that even if he gave the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp to Guang Xing, people would still believe that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was with him. ¡­ Even though he was still interested in the gift that the yellow robed youth from the Very High Heavens brought, Mo Wuji no longer had the mood to stay here. He hastily walked out of the Heavenly Chasm Pond; there were some matters that he needed to make prior preparations for. Facing a big sect like the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji did not have the confidence that he would be able to protect Su Xi; it would already be great if he could protect himself. "Master, that Mo Wuji is leaving." The moment Mo Wuji¡¯s front foot left Heavenly Chasm Pond, Ni Ju alerted anxiously. Sa Jian stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s disappearing figure and snorted coldly, "He temporarily wouldn¡¯t leave Heavenly Chasm City. Now that he would be regrouping with Zhuo Pingan, we wouldn¡¯t be a match for him. He had swallowed the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp for himself, so the Great Kun Buddhist Sect wouldn¡¯t let him go. When the time comes, we can ally with the Great Kun Buddhist Sect and the Lightning Sect to get rid of him." Ni Ju understood his master¡¯s meaning. Destroying Tian Ji Sect was done by his master, Sa Jian. To be honest, it wasn¡¯t really related much to the Great Sword Path. Because this was a private grudge between Sa Jian and Mo Wuji, they really couldn¡¯t request for the sect¡¯s Immortal Emperors to help. Chapter 639: The Crisis of The Heavenly Chasm City Chapter 639: The Crisis of The Heavenly Chasm City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Pill Master Mo, please hold on," Just as Mo Wuji walked to the entrance, he was called back by a voice. Mo Wuji stopped to look at the calm looking Lun Cai. Despite all the admiration he had for Lun Cai because of the way he was willing to disregard his own pride to plead his opponent for his concubine, Mo Wuji would never help Lun Cai. If it was some small feud, Mo Wuji could still forget about it. However, ever since Lun Cai killed his people and even caused the disappearance of Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji had already formed a deadly feud with Lun Cai. Upon hearing Lun Cai¡¯s call for Mo Wuji, the rest of the people in the Heavenly Pond started paying close attention to the two of them consciously. The main reason was because of Mo Wuji¡¯s recent limelight and there were even rumours saying that even Zhuo Pingan had became Mo Wuji¡¯s bodyguard. In the Immortal World, even a Heavenly Emperor would not be qualified to hire a Grand Emperor to become his bodyguard. Or rather, even if a Heavenly Emperor managed to hire a Grand Emperor to be his bodyguard, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hire Zhuo Pingan. "Pill Master Mo, I know that you¡¯re in an unfavorable situation as well. Therefore, if you are willing to help me this time, I, Lun Cai, would be standing right next to you whenever you need me. Whatever you request of me, as long as it''s within my means, I, Lun Cai will do it without hesitation," Lun Cai walked over to Mo Wuji and took the initiative to clasp his fists. Back in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, his exasperation towards Mo Wuji surged to the maximum and he simply couldn¡¯t wait to fight Mo Wuji. The instance Mo Wuji asked him to ¡®scram¡¯, Mo Wuji was already a man he promised to kill personally. However, when he returned and saw his skinny and rugged Xiang Shu and how she couldn¡¯t hold on any longer, his immense fury turned into tenderness and heartache. All he could do now was to throw the pride of a Grand Emperor aside to take the initiative to continue pleading Mo Wuji. "Pill Master Mo, I am aware of some of your misunderstandings with Grand Emperor Lun Cai. I am aware that some of your men died innocently but dead men can¡¯t be brought back to life which is why we should always look forward to the future. I believe that Grand Emperor Lun Cai would definitely agree to your request in rebuilding the Tian Ji Pill House. If Pill Master Mo trust me, why don¡¯t everyone bury the hatchet and move on," Qing Yang walked over in an attempt to advise Mo Wuji. On the surface, she appeared as if she was helping Lun Cai but only she knew that she was helping Mo Wuji. A few of his men were dead but there was nothing they could do to undo that now but if he were to form a good relationship with Lun Cai, he would have plenty of capable men working for him as long as he requested. Furthermore, there will always be unimportant people dying everyday in the Immortal World so Mo Wuji shouldn¡¯t let the death of his men affect his future. Mo Wuji was naturally aware of Qing Yang¡¯s intentions to help him. He was in a tight spot now and the addition of Lun Cai¡¯s help would be equivalent to another layer of strength. However, he was unable to accept Qing Yang¡¯s point of view that those few of his men were unimportant. To Mo Wuji, those people were his friends in the Immortal World. Back on earth, Mo Wuji had already form his moral values and he was unable and unwilling to change that now. Moreover, Lun Cai forced Cen Shuyin into hiding and Mo Wuji still couldn¡¯t find her. This was definitely not a small feud that could be forgotten easily. "Mo Wuji thank Landlord Qing Yang for her good suggestion," After Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Qing Yang, he turned to Lun Cai and said, "Lun Cai, I have nothing to say to you. Also, you and I are people from two different worlds and we would never become friends." Mo Wuji turned and walked away the moment he finished his sentence. "Arrogant little b*stard, you are only a mere Grand Yi Immortal who had dogsh*t luck to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. You won¡¯t be able to remain this arrogant for long and think that the entire Immortal World is under your feet," As he watched Mo Wuji neglecting the request of Grand Emperor Lun Cai, Sa Jian grasped the opportunity to curse at Mo Wuji. "That¡¯s right, he became a Tier 7 Pill Emperor by luck. It seems like you¡¯re in luck too so why don¡¯t you turn into a Tier 9 Pill Emperor at this instance?" The moment Sa Jian cursed at Mo Wuji, a clear and crisp voice could be heard. Sa Jian grunted and just when he was about rebut, he saw the Gai Ao father and daughter pair. Evidently, the one speaking was Gai Ao¡¯s daughter, Gai Feiyan. He swallowed the words he was about to say and bowed respectfully, "Greetings Heavenly Emperor." Gai Ao nodded his head without saying anything. He looked down on people like Sa Jian who was only good at cursing behind the back. If it wasn¡¯t for the face of the Great Sword Path, Gai Ao wouldn¡¯t even bother nodding his head. ... Mo Wuji hurried back to his residence in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse and noticed that Zhuo Pingan and Han Long were both in his room. "Big Brother Mo, members of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect came here to bring me away but was stopped by Senior Zhuo," Su Xi said anxiously. Zhuo Pingan added, "It was Hang Ke from the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. His cultivation level was very high and I believe he was only one step away from joining the ranks of the Grand Emperors. Mo Wuji clenched his fist because no matter how hard he tried to overestimate Guang Xing¡¯s shamelessness, Mo Wuji realised he was still underestimating him. This fella actually came up with a double insurance. Not only did he try to force out the location of Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, he even sent an Immortal Emperor expert to bring Su Xi away. The moment Su Xi was brought away and even if the Great Kun Buddhist Sect managed to obtain the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, he would still make Mo Wuji carry the blame. Fortunately for him, Zhuo Pingan was around to protect Su Xi. "Wuji, I have to go now," Han Long commented by the side. Mo Wuji looked puzzledly at Han Long, "Han Long, aren¡¯t you going to the Gods Tower?" Han Long explained, "My purpose of coming here was indeed to go to the Gods Tower and I even managed to get one rare slot to enter the Gods Tower out of luck. However, I have something urgent on hand which I¡¯ve written on the jade letter." Han Long handed Mo Wuji the jade letter and the Gods Tower token after explaining to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t look at the jade letter or question Han Long any further because he knew that everyone needed to make their own decision at some point in time. He took out a few bottles of pills for Han Long, "Please take care of yourself and we will meet again if fate permits." Han Long nodded, "Once I am done, I will definitely find you at your newly established sect." Han Long bade goodbye to Zhuo Pingan and Su Xi before leaving. Once Han Long walked out, Zhuo Pingan said, "Pill Master Mo, this Heavenly Chasm City is full of dark storms with all the countless of experts gathering here so we shouldn¡¯t stay here for a prolonged period of time." Mo Wuji was clear of Zhuo Pingan¡¯s intentions because even he knew that staying for a prolonged period in the Heavenly Chasm City would only bring more troubles to them. However, the Gods Tower was about to open and so he shouldn¡¯t possibly leave during this period of time right? "What does Immortal Friend Zhuo mean by that?" Mo Wuji was able to detect Zhuo Pingan¡¯s worrisome tone. Zhuo Pingan couldn¡¯t be faulted because when he struck a deal with Zhuo Pingan, nobody expected that so many experts of the Heavenly Chasm City would be watching him. Zhuo Pingan was mentally prepared to answer so when Mo Wuji asked, he answered straightaway, "Pill Master Mo, I know that you have made a few friends in the Heavenly Chasm City too so forgive me for being direct but I believe that your friends here would not support you in your tough times. Most of them were befriending you because of your pill concoction skills. These people would drink and have fun with you but they will definitely not step out to block a blade for you. I have two suggestions. The first would be to get rid of the enmity instead of keeping it alive by helping Lun Cai¡¯s concubine and bring him over to your side. The second suggestion would be let Su Xi bring out the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp openly so that we could bring the Great Kun Buddhist Sect on our side. Otherwise, staying in the Heavenly Chasm City would be extremely precarious for us." Mo Wuji¡¯s expression remained calm but if he agreed to both suggestions of Zhuo Pingan, he wouldn¡¯t be the Mo Wuji who made it thus far. In other words, if he would do such things, he wouldn¡¯t have form so many disputes with so many people. Regardless, he was still very grateful for Zhuo Pingan because he stood out to help Su Xi even when Mo Wuji was not around. This showed that even though Zhuo Pingan won¡¯t put ordinary people in his eyes, he was still a person with character which was as good as gold. "Does Immortal Friend Zhuo wish to leave the Heavenly Chasm City?" Mo Wuji asked casually. Zhuo Pingan sighed once more, "Pill Master Mo, since I have made my decision to follow you for 20 years, I will not leave so easily. However, even if Da Huang and I were to combine forces, we wouldn¡¯t be able to stop these people. Until then, if Ku Zhu were to face overwhelming pressure, we might not even be able to stay in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse." Mo Wuji remained silent for a while before taking out his pill furnace suddenly. Despite not knowing why Mo Wuji brought out a pill furnace at a time like this, Zhuo Pingan chose not to speak. When he saw that Mo Wuji took out a Heavenly Desolate Grass, he seemed to understand Mo Wuji¡¯s intention and he had mixed feelings. He and Mo Wuji were basically friends because of the mutual benefits. He would protect Mo Wuji only because he had invited Mo Wuji to concoct pills for him. After spending this period of time with him, he was starting to understand the type of person Mo Wuji was. Indeed, Mo Wuji placed a huge amount of emphasis on friendship and loyalty but lacked decisiveness to kill and was too soft. In other words, he shouldn¡¯t even get involved in Su Xi and Yuan Yi¡¯s problems in the first place. Also, he formed an enmity with Lun Cai because of a few unimportant people and this was definitely not a logical act. However, these were the values of Mo Wuji that made Zhuo Pingan confident of Mo Wuji¡¯s success in concocting a true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill 20 years later. While Zhuo Pingan was still having his internal conflict, Mo Wuji had already started his purification. Even Zhuo Pingan couldn¡¯t help but to admire Mo Wuji because watching him concoct pills was like admiring an art; a form of enjoyment. Over four hours had passed and Mo Wuji brought out 6 immortal pills. How strong was Zhuo Pingan¡¯s spiritual will? The moment he saw Mo Wuji brought out 6 immortal pills, he quickly took a step forward and even he couldn¡¯t control his trembling hands. If he wasn¡¯t wrong, he was sure that Mo Wuji had concocted the pills with seven runes. How many years has Zhuo Pingan coveted for the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill? At this moment, he forcefully controlled his urge to question Mo Wuji as he simply looked at Mo Wuji with extreme desire. Mo Wuji kept the pill furnace silently before passing the jade vase to Zhuo Pingan, "Immortal Friend Zhuo, I¡¯ve had some rewards during my closed doors concoction previously. I am finally able to concoct a true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill so may I invite Immortal Friend Zhuo to check it out." Zhuo Pingan¡¯s trembling hands opened the jade vase as he really saw six Seven Runes Glimpsing Pills inside. "Thank you, thank you, thank you¡­" Zhuo Pingan seemed to have completely forgotten about the pride, prestige and dignity which a Grand Emperor should have. In his eyes, there was only this vase of Seven Runes Glimpsing Pills. Initially, Zhuo Pingan believed that 20 years would flashed by very quickly but now, it wasn¡¯t even one year and he received the true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pills. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Dao Friend Zhuo, this is what I¡¯ve promised you. Now that I¡¯ve given Dao Friend Zhuo this vase of Seven Runes Glimpsing Pills in advance, I have something to request from Dao Friend Zhuo." Chapter 640: Setting Sun Chapter 640: Setting Sun Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Zhuo Pingan kept his jade vase carefully before taking a deep breath while looking at the roof. He clasped his fists discreetly at Mo Wuji before saying respectfully, "Pill Master Mo, your pill concoction skills and character are the best I, Zhuo Pingan, have ever seen. I, Zhuo Pingan, will avenge and repay when necessary and I will never boast or give empty promises. I, Zhuo Pingan, want to tell you today that no matter what you want me to do, I will do it." Mo Wuji chuckled, "I only have one request which is for Immortal Friend Zhuo to bring Su Xi away until she is capable of protecting herself." Zhuo Pingan laughed, "This is nothing at all. I, Zhuo Pingan, guarantee to not let anything happen to her and no one would be able to take the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp away from her. Concurrently, I will continue protecting you for one year so matter how many experts came to obstruct you, I will make sure you enter the Gods Tower safely." Mo Wuji smiled, "Thank you Dao Friend Zhuo and just like you mentioned, I won¡¯t be staying in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse anymore." Mo Wuji was not carried away by a whim as he knew that staying here would harm both himself and others. The moment the experts of the Lightning Sect and the Great Sword Path arrived, coupled with Lun Cai¡¯s help, he would be fraught with grim possibilities. Letting Zhuo Pingan and Su Xi stay here would also harm them. Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to leave the Heavenly Chasm City but if he insisted on leaving, Zhuo Pingan believed that he still had the capabilities to protect Mo Wuji on his way out. He agreed with Mo Wuji¡¯s intention that leaving the Heavenly Chasm City now would be the most appropriate. Even before Zhuo Pingan could speak, Su Xi interjected, "Big Brother Mo, I will not leave with Senior Zhuo. I want to leave with you." Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at Su Xi, "Su Xi, I am only in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage and I have no means of protecting your Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Once we are caught by the opponent, I will not be able to escape with you so by following me, you are simply courting death." Su Xi said convincingly, "Big Brother Mo, before my master passed on, she told me to follow you." Mo Wuji replied calmly, "Your master told you to listen to me and she didn¡¯t specify to have you follow me." All Su Xi did was to shake her head as she looked extremely resolute in her decision. Zhuo Pingan saw Su Xi¡¯s unwillingness so he added, "Pill Master Mo, since you¡¯re leaving the Heavenly Chasm City, I don¡¯t think it would be much of a difference if Su Xi follows you. The Immortal World is vast so even if the two of you were obstructed by one or two experts, they wouldn¡¯t be your match if Da Huang is with you. The situation would definitely not be similar to the one in the Heavenly Chasm City where so many experts were gathered together. Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji could only reply honestly, "I have no intentions to leave far because I am planning to head to the Gods Tower." Back when he was only an Earthly Immortal, Mo Wuji managed to traverse through the Immortal Chasm between the Half Immortal Domain and the Corner of Yong Ying. Presently, he was in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage and was definitely multiple folds stronger than before. Additionally, he wasn¡¯t intending to traverse the Gods Heavenly Chasm but only to cultivate for a period of time in the Heavenly Chasm. There shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to cultivate there while waiting for the opening of the Gods Tower. "You want to stay in the Gods Heavenly Chasm to wait for the opening of the Gods Tower?" Zhuo Pingan asked surprisingly when he found out about Mo Wuji¡¯s intention. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, that''s what I¡¯m thinking." "No way! Given your strength, the probability of you staying alive would be slim. There are too many powerful existences in the Heavenly Chasm and these people were all not afraid of spatial splitting. Unless your body was tempered to the Immortal Physique stage but you are only in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage so you are still quite a distance away from the Immortal Physique¡­" Zhuo Pingan said without holding back. "I¡¯ve already made my decision," Mo Wuji responded because since he had already decided, he would want to try it out. As she saw Mo Wuji looking towards her, Su Xi answered coldly, "My life was picked up once by my master and the other time by Big Brother Mo. Following my ¡®life¡¯ to the Heavenly Chasm would be the only reasonable thing to do." After saying this, Su Xi bowed towards Zhuo Pingan and Mo Wuji before saying, "Senior Zhuo, Big Brother Mo, please accept my request. My master told me before that whether we cultivate the immortal way, buddhism or even magic, the foundation of it all is to cultivate the heart. If I am unable to even follow my heart, how could I continue cultivating?" "Alright," Zhuo Pingan nodded with acknowledgement. This sentence might seem simple but it was in fact, very hard to act on it. Mo Wuji saw Su Xi¡¯s absolute determination to follow him out so he simply said, "Since this is the case, you will leave with me. Following me would mean that our life and death would be ruled by fate. "Yes, Big Brother Mo!" Su Xi was no longer as tender and shy as she were when she first met Mo Wuji. "Are you leaving now?" Zhuo Pingan asked. Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, we will leave tomorrow. Before we leave, there are still two more people I must kill." One night had passed and on the morning of the next day, Mo Wuji brought Su Xi and Da Huang out of the Heavenly Chasm City while Zhuo Pingan was no longer around him. Even though there were countless of people streaming in and out of the Heavenly Chasm City, news would spread the moment a person like Mo Wuji, who was watched closely by many, walked out. Despite being shameful of the actions of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji was still not prepared to fight them now. The person he wanted to kill was the Great Sword Path¡¯s Sa Jian and his disciple, Ni Ju. The Heavenly Chasm City was not that far away from the Gods Heavenly Chasm so Mo Wuji only needed less than half a day on the flying treasure to reach. Just as Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle was drawn out and after leaving for less than two hours, a yellow flying treasure flew over. Three people stood on the flying treasure and Mo Wuji recognised two of them to be Guang Xing and Tai Sha. Mo Wuji had not seen the third person before but according to Zhuo Pingan¡¯s description previously, Mo Wuji guessed that the person should be the Immortal Emperor expert of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Hang Ke. Mo Wuji felt annoyed because he really didn¡¯t wish to meet these fellas. "Pill Master Mo, please take your time¡­" Even before the yellow ship reached Mo Wuji, Guang Xing called out anxiously. "Haha¡­" Yet another laughter could be heard and a sickly scholar landed right in front of the yellow flying ship, "Immortal Friend Hang Ke, we meet again. I was just about to visit you at your Great Kun Buddhist Sect to chitchat for a while so I really didn¡¯t expect to meet you so soon." As he saw the hidden Zhuo Pingan coming out to block off the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji was secretly pleased. Perhaps this was the way to get Sa Jian to show up. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji made a sharp turn with his flying ship and flew off. After just one hour and when the Gods Heavenly Chasm was right in front of them, a silver flying car stopped in front of Mo Wuji in the shortest possible time. "Pill Master Mo, we meet again," Sa Jian and Ni Ju had already stepped out of the flying car as they dashed towards Mo Wuji¡¯s flying shuttle. "Su Xi, wait for me on the flying shuttle," Immediately after saying this, Mo Wuji brought Da Huang out of the flying shuttle. The Tian Ji Sect was obliterated by Sa Jian while the disciples of the Tian Ji Sect were killed by Ni Ju. Now that he finally managed to lead them out, how could he not avenge his disciples? "Hold on¡­" As he watched Mo Wuji came out of his flying ship daringly, Sa Jian took a step forward to stop Ni Ju, who was about to rush up to grab Mo Wuji. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji shouldn¡¯t dare to come out on his own now that Zhuo Pingan was dealing with the members of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Could Mo Wuji have any other secret method which he was unaware of? Sa Jian¡¯s eyes fell on the immortal puppet beside Mo Wuji and he immediately noticed that this immortal puppet was not simple at all. It could very well be an expert in the Immortal Reverent Stage. "Sa Jian, are you the one who destroyed the Tian Ji Sect?" Mo Wuji was so experienced that he didn¡¯t bother beating around the bush. Sa Jian stopped looking at Da Huang as he stared coldly at Mo Wuji instead, "That¡¯s right, I am the one who obliterated the Tian Ji Sect. I¡¯ve heard that you wanted to avenge the Tian Ji Sect so come straight at me." "What was the reason?" Mo Wuji opened up his palm and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared on his hand. The Half Moon Weighted Halberd looked very ordinary but the moment Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent was shown, impressives waves of killing intent surged out from the halberd too. Ni Ju felt the incredible waves of killing intent and his eyes lit up immediately, "I want this halberd." "Reason? You are not qualified to know," Sa Jian charged towards the immortal puppet beside Mo Wuji almost immediately after saying that. Since he could tell that Mo Wuji was relying on this immortal puppet, he made his decision to finish the puppet off first. "Da Huang, fight," Mo Wuji ordered and his halberd slashed out a silver river towards Ni Ju. Mo Wuji was aware that Ni Ju was in the Grand Luo stage and was definitely not the average Grand Luo Immortal while Mo Wuji was nearly in the intermediate Grand Yi Stage but was still not there yet. As compared to a Grand Luo Immortal, he was still a few levels away from him. This was the reason why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hold back as he slashed out his Winding River Sacred Art in his first move. A bone piercing coldness could be felt and Ni ju subconsciously shivered because he didn¡¯t believe a mere Grand Yi Immortal could release such terrifying coldness. However, he had to believe what he experience so even without thinking, he drew out the saber from his back and a space splitting radiance was released towards Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River. The Half Moon Weighted Halberd swept up a bottomless halberd river radiance and Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t felt but to feel satisfied. Back when he executed the same move with his saber, he didn¡¯t even feel that pleasurable. Despite the fact that his Winding River was not completed yet, Mo Wuji could feel that his Winding River was at least one fold stronger than before. "Puff!" A stream of blood appeared in front of Ni Ju¡¯s eyes as he watched dazedly at his master Sa Jian¡¯s blood filled hole in his chest. At that instance, he even forgot to block against Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Winding River. His master was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage so what on earth was the immortal puppet? How could the puppet finish his master in less than a move? "Ni Ju, hurry up and leave. Tell the sect, revenge¡­" Sa Jian didn¡¯t look anything like an Immortal Reverent now because all he had in his eyes were fear and bewilderment. Only until now, he realised that Mo Wuji¡¯s puppet was actually an Immortal Emperor, a very strong and mighty Immortal Emperor. At this instance, all he wanted to do was to restrain Da Huang¡¯s movement so that his disciple could escape and make the report. Even up till now, he still believed that Mo Wuji was an unimportant ant. The pity was that he overestimated his own strength and just when he muttered this sentence out, his primordial spirit was extracted and crushed by Da Huang. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River landed on Ni Ju¡¯s saber and following the immense explosions of the immortal energy, the saber¡¯s radiance started to die off. Ni Ju was already in daze when Mo Wuji attacked and if not for his strong domain and saber, his forehead would have been split apart. Nevertheless, Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd still managed to slash out a stream of blood off Ni Ju¡¯s body. What kind of Grand Yi Immortal is this? Ni Ju was feeling a mixture of panic and anger as his saber swept up massive amount of energy as he no longer dared to underestimate Mo Wuji. "Setting Sun!" Mo Wuji wielded his halberd as he finally executed his third sacred art. Chapter 641: Pinning Sa Jian And His Disciple Chapter 641: Pinning Sa Jian And His Disciple Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Bottomless halberd radiance exploded and in the next instance, it turned into a brutal silver disc with immense murderous energy overwhelming within in. It was falling towards Ni Ju like a planet which had lost its gravitational pull from the sun. Ni Ju was basically trembling because it was at this moment when he felt restrained by an endless amount of halberd radiance while watching this silver disc almost crushing him into pieces. "No!" Ni Ju let out a devastating cry as his saber swept up billions of saber radiance. Presently, his saber seemed like an exploding universe welcoming Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd silver disc. Ni Ju was certain that from the day he started cultivating, he had never unleashed a power like this. In fact, strike of the saber seemed to combine everything he had learnt including those saber dao which had yet to take its shape. If it was during any other fight, Ni Ju would be jumping in joy because once he executed this move, it would mean that his saber dao had reached yet another realm. "Boom!" The exploding saber¡¯s radiance clashed against the silver halberd disc as a mad amount of killing energy was raging ferociously and everything around them had turned into nothingness. Even though this clash didn¡¯t create cracks in space, it had to be the most powerful clash between two experts under the Immortal King Stage. "Puff!" The halberd silver disc split apart and Mo Wuji was blown away while spitting out a mouthful of blood. Ni Ju¡¯s face turned ghastly as the blood scar caused by Mo Wuji earlier on was torn further apart. He stared blankly at Mo Wuji as he believed that his attack should be frightening even against an Immortal King. However, all it did to Mo Wuji, a mere Grand Yi Immortal, was a mouthful of blood. Is this fella really only a Grand Yi Immortal? Mo Wuji wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth before saying to Da Huang, "Kill him off for me. This fella is too strong and I would need to waste too much of my energy to kill him." Da Huang raised his hand and Ni Ju¡¯s primordial spirit was extracted out by Da Huang and even before Ni Ju could regain his composure from the earlier attack, he was killed by Da Huang. Mo Wuji swallowed a healing pill before taking in a breath. His cultivation level was simply too low as he could barely match up against a Grand Luo Immortal. He wasn¡¯t all too satisfied with the Setting Sun he executed with his halberd. The Setting Sun¡¯s silver disc that he enlightened wasn¡¯t supposed to look like a falling shooting star. It was supposed to be wrapped with deathly energy and descend like the evening sun while trapping the opponent. The opponent should be killed viciously under the setting sun. The moment he executed his Setting Sun, he could feel the vast difference between the sacred art that he enlightened and the one he successfully executed. He was well aware that there was still much more work to be done. Once Mo Wuji got hold of both storage rings from Sa Jian and Ni Ju, he grabbed Ni Ju¡¯s saber before pinning Sa Jian and Ni Ju up in space. Didn¡¯t Ni Ju enjoy pinning the disciples of the Tian Ji Sect on his saber? Today, he saw let this master and disciple be pinned up together as well. ¡­ After receiving the message which told him that Mo Wuji had reached the Gods Heavenly Chasm safely, he took the initiative to let go of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s flying ship. He looked at the faraway Gods Heavenly Chasm before mumbling to himself, "Others might think that you save Yuan Yi and her disciple and offended two big sects for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp but I know you didn¡¯t. People like you in the Immortal World should be already extinct. The journey in the Immortal World is long and arduous so I wish you all the best and hopefully, we might meet again in the future." After mumbling to himself, Zhuo Pingan disappeared without a trace from his original position. He wanted to return to the Cape of Peace now and now that Mo Wuji had concocted a vase of true Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill for him, he, Zhuo Pingan, wished to stand on the peak of the Immortal World once again. Mo Wuji brought Su Xi with him while Zhuo Pingan left. However, there was no peace between the Heavenly Chasm City and the Gods Heavenly Chasm as there was a saber with two fallen cultivators pinned onto it in the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm. The two cultivators were the Great Sword Path¡¯s Immortal Reverent Elder Sa Jian while the other one was Sa Jian¡¯s disciple, Ni Ju. Almost everyone on their way from the Heavenly Chasm City to the Gods Heavenly Chasm would have seen this bloody sight caused by Mo Wuji in the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm. "This Pill Master Mo is certainly vicious. I can¡¯t believe he would actually offend the Lightning Sect and Great Kun Buddhist Sect for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Now he even killed off the Great Sword Path¡¯s Elder Sa Jian so brutally." "I think this shouldn¡¯t be considered vicious because I¡¯ve heard that he was the sect head of the Tian Ji Sect in the Cultivation World. Previously, Ni Ju stripped the disciples of the Tian Ji Sect and pierced them through his saber while walking into the city. As compared to that, Pill Master Mo seems to be gentler. As for him offending the two big sects for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, this act is definitely ruthless." "I¡¯ve heard about that Great Kun Buddhist Lamp and that it is an ancient treasure which was the Mediation Nunnery¡¯s legislated treasure. This Pill Master Mo is definitely ruthless because if you were in his shoes, you would not dare to take the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp even if it was right in front of you." "What Mediation Nunnery? There is no more Mediation Nunnery now, only the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. However, I do believe that Pill Master Mo is a ruthless man. Imagine how much blood was shed for him to advance so quickly into the Tier 7 Pill Emperor." "So will Pill Master Mo enter the Gods Heavenly Chasm?" "Ah, do you think a person like him would seek death? By pinning Sa Jian and his disciple here is to make others think that he entered the Gods Heavenly Chasm. However, the truth was that as long as he was not an idiot, why would he dare to enter that place?" ¡­ Whether it was the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm or within the Gods Immortal City, there were all sorts of discussions about Mo Wuji. At almost the same time when Mo Wuji went missing, the Lightning Sect, Great Sword Path, Mirage Mountain and Great Kun Buddhist Sect all issued the immortal order to capture Mo Wuji. Those with insider news would know that there were many more forces who were secretly finding Mo Wuji even without issuing the his wanted poster. Examples would be Unfettered Emperor Palace¡¯s Lun Cai and Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡­ "This person really knows how to cause trouble," In one of the resthouse in the Heavenly Chasm City, Gai Ao shook his head as he drank a sip of immortal tea before continuing, "Feiyan, this person is not a good match for you because you would be certainly be implicated if you stay with him. My guess is that this Mo Wuji would not be able to escape from the pursuit of so many sects and his bones would be smashed into powder sooner or later." After saying this, Gai Ao sighed as even he couldn¡¯t wrap his head as to why Mo Wuji would have such a strong death wish. Logically speaking, a Tier 7 Pill Emperor like himself should be able to live a free and luxurious lifestyle in the Immortal World yet he chose to offend so many experts in such a short period of time. Gai Feiyan lifted her head and looked at her father wishfully, "Father, that is because the sects after him are all too greedy. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t come to the rescue of people, he wouldn¡¯t have offended so many experts. Father, do you think there will still be a person in this world who is willing to offend big sects just to save two unfamiliar people?" Gai Ao sneered, "Feiyan, you are way too naive. Do you really think that Mo Wuji did that to save the two nuns? He did it for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp might be good but it was the buddhist holy vessel which even I would not dare to fight for, let alone a mere Mo Wuji." "No," Gai Feiyan shook her head convincingly, "I believe that he is not a person like that; he didn¡¯t do it for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. He truly wanted to help the Mediation Nunnery¡¯s small nun and he is a good person. As for the Great Sword Path, weren¡¯t there rumours about how Mo Wuji was from the Tian Ji Sect? Sa Jian of the Great Sword Path obliterated the Tian Ji Sect so what¡¯s wrong with him avenging his sect? As for Lun Cai, that person killed everyone close to Mo Wuji. Does it mean that Mo Wuji had to get on his knees and accept all his wrongdoings just because Lun Cai is a Grand Emperor? If he really did that, I wouldn¡¯t have been so impressed by him." Gai Ao stared dazedly at his daughter as he started to blame himself. Ever since he saved his daughter from the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, he had watched over her too closely. Otherwise, why would she think that Mo Wuji was a good person after saving the master and disciple of the Mediation Nunnery for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp? Gai Ao stood up and replied helplessly, "Feiyan, there is a recent gathering of experts in the Heavenly Chasm City. Let me bring you there to enrich your experience of crowded places like that. You lack experience and this is my fault because I shouldn¡¯t always keep you here at the palace." ¡­ The instance Mo Wuji stepped into the Gods Heavenly Chasm, immense waves of space splitting energy surged towards him and with breaths, two deep scars appeared on Mo Wuji¡¯s skin. Mo Wuji became anxious because he was in the Great Circle of the Spirit Physique Stage and was only one step away from the Immortal Physique Stage. If even his body was scarred so easily by the space splitting energy of the Gods Heavenly Chasm, how was Su Xi supposed to endure? At this moment, Mo Wuji felt a vast and boundless buddhist spirituality. A faint light radiance enveloped Su Xi¡¯s entire body and that buddhist spirituality felt like the sanskirt of the horizon as it constantly produced rings of radiance to cover Su Xi. "Big Brother Mo, quickly come under my Buddhist Lamp. We would not need to fear the space splitting energy in the Gods Heavenly Chasm under my lamp," Su Xi¡¯s voice could be heard. Mo Wuji looked dazedly at these rings of faint buddhist spirituality lamp radiance before saying, "This is the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp? Junior Sister Su Xi, you managed to refine the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp already?" Su Xi shook her head, "Nope but I have refined half of it and it¡¯s lamp radiance is still able to protect me." "Incredible," Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but to praise the lamp and he finally understood why the Immortal Emperor of the Lightning Sect and the Great Kun Buddhist Sect would covet for it. This lamp was simply too heaven-defying; how terrifyingly powerful would it be if it was completely refined?" "Big Brother Mo, I¡¯ve heard from my master that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp is one of the three great treasures of Buddhism," Su Xi explained immediately when she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s gasp. Mo Wuji nodded and landed under the lamp radiance of the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Mo Wuji managed to catch the buddhist spirituality and all sorts of space splitting energies in the Gods Heavenly Chasm disappeared without a trace. Evidently, this Great Kun Buddhist Lamp is truly too powerful. Seemed like if Tai Shixiao was able to make it here, he must have had a peak grade treasure with him. He was aware of Tai Shixiao¡¯s Star Sea Sacred Art and the fact that the Heavenly Desolate Grass was located in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue using his spiritual will to feel the buddhist spirituality. He predicted that with his spiritual will in the buddhist lamp coupled with his dao revelation channel, he might be able to enlighten a peak grade buddhist sacred art. However, he didn¡¯t like the idea of enlightening some buddhist sacred art because he was still cultivating the immortal mortal Dao. Mo Wuji nodded towards Su Xi to indicate for her to continue controlling the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp while he took out Sa Jian and Ni Ju¡¯s storage rings as well as the jade letter Han Long handed him. When Han Long left, she didn¡¯t want to say the reason in front of Zhuo Pingan and only gave Mo Wuji a jade letter with her note and reason in it. ..... Chapter 642: Void Nirvana Root Chapter 642: Void Nirvana Root Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Han Long¡¯s note was very simple as all she said was that she found a message while tidying up her ancestors¡¯ relics. Her ancestors told her that after reading the message, she had to let go of everything on hand to visit the designated place. It was no wonder Han Long would pass this message to Mo Wuji using a jade letter because she didn¡¯t trust Zhuo Pingan and was worried that Zhuo Pingan might follow her. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that Zhuo Pingan would do such a thing, he felt that Han Long¡¯s cautious act was the right move. Afterall, Han Long¡¯s ancestors must be incredibly impressive. Sa Jian¡¯s storage ring was also refined by Mo Wuji and he noticed many decent items in it. Nothing much caught Mo Wuji¡¯s eye except for a stone tablet. Mo Wuji picked up the stone tablet and there were only two words on it: Tian Ji. This stone tablet was definitely not the Tian Ji stone tablet which the Tian Ji Sect Sect Head Yuan Yi [1] saw initially. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that this was a stone tablet which was made with reference to the one the Sect Head saw. Sa Jian must have obliterated the Tian Ji Sect and kept this stone tablet in his storage ring which shows that there were rumours about Tian Ji Sect¡¯s origins. The obliteration of the Tian Ji Sect might not be as simple as it looked. "Su Xi, control the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp and follow closely behind me," Mo Wuji kept the storage ring before ordering Su Xi. He wanted to go to the place where Tai Shixiao found the Heavenly Desolate Grass. Even though he had finished helping Zhuo Pingan with the concoction of the Seven Runes Glimpsing Pill, he needed a large quantity of Heavenly Desolate Grass so that he could practice purification and achieved the 99% purity and hence, the Heavenly Nature Grass. The Gods Heavenly Chasm was like a black hole and even with Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, all he could see was pitch black darkness all around him. Some unknown objects would cross his spiritual will every now and then and very soon, his spiritual will was suddenly twisted off by a spatial whirlpool before disappearing without a trace. Mo Wuji only took a moment to observe before withdrawing his spiritual will. Under such circumstances, he couldn¡¯t possibly leave his spiritual out there for a prolonged period of time because after a while, it would be very exhausting. Concurrently, Mo Wuji was cursing Tai Shixiao in his heart because this fella was simply mocking the fact that he had not been to the Gods Heavenly Chasm before. All the landmarks like the tortoise shape floating island or the mobile river stated in the positioning ball given by Tai Shixiao were absolutely inaccurate because he had yet to see any of them. Moreover, inside this pitch black Gods Heavenly Chasm and the lack of usage of his spiritual will, even if there was such a place, he wouldn¡¯t have found it anyway. It seemed like he could only depend on his luck in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. "Boom!" The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp¡¯s radiance rings were trembling intensely as a formidable force from the outside was countering against the lamp radiance. Su Xi, who was controlling the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp spat out a mouthful of blood as the lamp radiance started fading rapidly. "Roar!" A loud roar could be heard and all Mo Wuji could see was a gigantic mouth exuding immense killing intent. Without any consideration, Mo Wuji grabbed Su Xi and teleported outwards. At times, luck is only a part of fate. If they were in the Gods Heavenly Chasm and didn¡¯t meet any spatial gaps, that would be luck. If they were met with spatial gaps, they could only blame it on their bad luck. By teleporting in the Gods Heavenly Chasm, Mo Wuji relied entirely on luck. If they were to accidentally bump into a spatial tear, they could either be split into two or turned into fine powder. However, when faced against an unknown gigantic mouth like that, Mo Wuji had no other choice but to escape using his teleportation. When a spatial tear appeared in front of Mo Wuji, he could only sigh in his heart at how bad his luck was. If he tried to avoid the tear in front of him, both he and Su Xi could very well be left with half a body each. At this moment, he had no other options other than grabbing Su Xi and entering this spatial tear. Once Mo Wuji entered the tear, he could hear a sharp and mournful roar. He was rejoicing in his heart for his decision to enter the spatial tear because if he didn¡¯t they would have been swallowed alive by the unknown demonic beast. When he teleported, he actually didn¡¯t realise that massive beast was tailing them. If the beast wasn¡¯t torn apart by the spatial tear, his guess was that he would be inside the stomach of that beast before realising that he didn¡¯t manage to escape from that beast. "Big Brother Mo, this place feels deathly¡­" Su Xi said while shivering. Despite her incredible growth after the death of her master, Su Xi was still an inexperienced young girl. The instance she entered this place, she could feel the deathly aura looming all around her. Mo Wuji stopped and looked at the surrounding only to realise that this place lacked vitality and there were no elements of life which Mo Wuji could detect. "There is no vitality here so I doubt there will be any powerful beast around. Follow behind me while I go and check it out," Mo Wuji instructed Su Xi before he started walking cautiously. Two hours later, Mo Wuji came to a halt and much to his surprise, he saw a bunch of spiritual herbs suspending in mid air. To be specific, it was a bunch of Heavenly Desolate Grass which was suspended. Tai Shixiao mentioned that the Heavenly Desolate Grass originated from the Gods Heavenly Chasm but he was unable to use the positioning ball given by Tai Shixiao. Who would have thought that he managed to find such a large bunch of Heavenly Desolate Grass inadvertently? "This is the Heavenly Desolate Grass?" Su Xi was not that clueless as she had heard of the Heavenly Desolate Grass before. Mo Wuji nodded excitedly, "Yes this is indeed the Heavenly Desolate Grass which would be extremely useful to me. Wait for me here while I pick up all the other Heavenly Desolate Grass." There were a total of over 1000 Heavenly Desolate Grass and were all picked up by Mo Wuji. After keeping all the Heavenly Desolate Grass, he saw a long purple root. This long purple root was located under the Heavenly Desolate Grass so if he didn¡¯t pluck these Heavenly Desolate Grass out, he wouldn¡¯t notice this long purple coloured root. "Big Brother Mo, what is that?" Su Xi asked curiously because her knowledge was limited for her age. Despite so, she knew that in a place with no vitality and any of the five elements, other than the unique Heavenly Desolate Grass, it was extremely difficult for any other herbs to survive. Mo Wuji picked up that purple root eagerly and the unique energy released by it was instantly captured by him. In fact, he had this strong urge to bring this long root back to the Gods Heavenly Chasm to temper his physique immediately. After keeping the long purple root, Mo Wuji took in a deep breath before saying, "This is a Void Nirvana Root, a priceless treasure which I really didn¡¯t expect to find it here. Indeed, there would be no rewards without sacrificing." If he didn¡¯t dare to risk sacrificing his life to stand out for Su Xi and her master, he wouldn¡¯t be here in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. And if he wasn¡¯t here in the Gods Heavenly Chasm, he wouldn¡¯t have found this Void Nirvana Root. The Void Nirvana Root was the best treasure to allow an immortal to temper and model his body. If he were to use such a peak grade item to help his advancement into his Immortal Physique Stage, he might not need any more immortal herbs to step into the higher realms in the future. Initially, Mo Wuji was intending to use the Undying Holy Bamboo to help temper his physique but now that he had the Void Nirvana Root, he would naturally chose this over the Undying Holy Bamboo. Comparing the potentiality of the two items, the Undying Holy Bamboo was not even the same grade as the Void Nirvana Root. The obtaining of the Void Nirvana Root might be purely due to luck but to Mo Wuji, this was also the endorsement of his spiritual soul. Who knows if there is a type of force out in the world which balances the kindness and righteousness of people? He managed to obtain the Void Nirvana Root so soon after rescuing Su Xi. "Ah¡­" Even Su Xi jumped up in surprise because she knew of the Void Nirvana Root despite her lack of experience. This was a gradeless treasure which surpass the Grade 9 treasures. "Congratulations to Big Brother Mo," Su Xi was instantly delighted for Mo Wuji as she could tell that Mo Wuji grew very fond of the Void Nirvana Root in such a short period of time. "Su Xi, I am intending to go under closed doors to concoct pills here. I suggest that you refine your Great Kun Buddhist Lamp while waiting for me to concoct Tier 8 immortal pills. Once I am capable of doing so, we will find a tear to get out of here," Mo Wuji calmed himself down before telling Su Xi his plans. He wanted to concoct pills because he wanted to advance to become a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. His main purpose of wanting to become a Tier 8 Pill Emperor was not to garner reinforcements but to concoct the Tier 8 Dry Wimple Pill. The Dry Wimple Pill¡¯s only usage would be to alter a cultivator¡¯s appearance and aura. As long as he used a Dry Wimple Pill, even people who were most familiar with him might not be able to recognise him. Now that he had offended so many powerhouses, this could come in handy when he is leaving the Gods Heavenly Chasm. All the masks would never be as good as the Dry Wimple Pill and furthermore, not every cultivator would be qualified to use the Dry Wimple Pill. "Alright, I will listen to Big Brother Mo," Su Xi nodded. She is not very talented so cultivating in a place like this would not be very beneficial for her. As for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, she needed to continue refining it. As long as she could refine the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp to 50% of its full power, she could at least protect herself in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. ¡­ The periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm had turned into a temporary city square. Because the Gods Tower was turning clearer by the day, everyone was aware that the Gods Tower was about to be opened. Once it is opened, there would naturally be many people streaming in to exchange for items. By shifting the entire trade forum to the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm, it would be the most convenient thing to do. In the middle of the Gods Heavenly Chasm, a hazy tall tower started to appear. Everyone nearby was aware that that was the Gods Tower. Standing on the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm, one wouldn¡¯t be able to tell what''s on the top of the tower as well as where the bottom of the tower was located at. All they could see were the faint tiles of the tower and the occasional golden lights shining from the tower. A short youth stood on the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm as his eyes kept gazing over at the Gods Tower with his eyeballs constantly on the move. If Mo Wuji was here, he would be able to recognise this youth as Tai Shixiao who invited Mo Wuji to help concoct his Zhi Desolate Pill and the one who gave him the Star Sea Sacred Art as well as the location of the Heavenly Desolate Grass in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. ¡­ At the same time, Mo Wuji took out six pure white coloured pills and was feeling extremely satisfied with himself. After over a year, he didn¡¯t cultivate at all as he spent all his time on concocting pills and enlightening pill dao. Just when he exhausted all the Tier 8 immortal herbs he had with him, he finally managed to charge into the ranks of a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. With the vase of unique grade Dry Wimple Pills in his hands, he was currently standing at the peak of pill dao in the Immortal World. Mo Wuji looked at the boundless void outside before thinking about the opening of the Gods Tower and how he must find a way out as soon as possible. Chapter 643: The Crafty Tai Shixiao Chapter 643: The Crafty Tai Shixiao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Junior Sister Su Xi, how was it?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask as he noticed that Su Xi stood up too. "I¡¯ve already refined 30% of it so I should be capable of protecting myself in the Gods Heavenly Chasm," Su Xi kept the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp in her hands. "Alright, we shall try and figure our way out then," Mo Wuji brought Da Huang out the moment he said this. When Mo Wuji first came into the Gods Heavenly Chasm, he was overconfident by leaving Da Huang inside his Undying World. To reduce the risk of being swallowed by an unknown beast like before, Mo Wuji decided to more cautious. Mo Wuji would search for a path while Da Huang will protect his back and Su Xi would concentrate on controlling her Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Previously when he was stationary while concocting his pills, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel much about the surrounding. Now that he started walking through this void, even Mo Wuji felt a sense of panic as if the next step he took would lead him directly into a black hole. This void seemed to be endless because even after Mo Wuji walked with Da Huang and Su Xi for over 10 days, the surrounding was still pitch black like before. Without mentioning about a spatial tear to exit from, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even find a speck of dust in here. Mo Wuji could only sigh because he finally realised how fortunate he was to have found all the Heavenly Desolate Grass so soon after entering this place. "Lord, we walked past here earlier on," Just when Mo Wuji had no idea which direction to continue, Da Huang suddenly commented. Mo Wuji stopped moving as he finally realised what was going on. In this void, there was simply no direction and one had to depend on one¡¯s subconsciousness to walk therefore, it wouldn¡¯t be a surprise if they were simply walking on the same spot all these while. It was no wonder he could find the large amount of Heavenly Desolate Grass so quickly earlier on. It was not due to fortune but because this large amount of Heavenly Desolate Grass was far too eye-catching in a place like this. As it seemed, this void ain¡¯t very big. "Da Huang, are you able to tell directions in here?" Mo Wuji recalled that Da Huang was so much stronger than Mo Wuji and Su Xi so he casually asked. "No because I can only rely on my instinct to tell that we¡¯ve been to this spot before. I am not able to tell our specific position because the spiritual will around here was all the same¡­" Mo Wuji only wanted to smack his own brains when he heard this. One¡¯s spiritual will might not be able to sense much of a difference in a place like this but Mo Wuji had the spiritual eye. The spiritual eye could see through any unfounded things and this was merely an unfounded void. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t believe that he neglected the most important factor of this place while wandering around here. Mo Wuji hurried to condense his spiritual eye and even though they were still in the same void, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye saw something everyone else couldn¡¯t see. There were neither five elements nor vitality here but there were time and space. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye also caught hold of a trace of faint immortal energy. Mo Wuji thought so because even if the Heavenly Desolate Grass could only survive in voids, how could they continue growing if there were no immortal energy of dao spirituality? Just because there were immortal energy here didn¡¯t mean that this wasn¡¯t the void space. The immortal energy from the outside world would have probably seeped through the occasional tears which appeared. A perfect void would not have any of such energy so these immortal energy would be constantly absorbed by the Heavenly Desolate Grass. What he needed to do now would be to find the direction of the immortal energy he could sense and that would be the direction which would lead him to the spatial tear. Once he found the spatial tear, he would be able to leave this place. With this train of thoughts, Mo Wuji¡¯s speed increased tremendously. After just four hours, he could sense that the immortal energy was getting denser than before. A massive tortoise shaped island appeared in front of Mo Wuji and the flowy silver river by the periphery of the island was even more eye catching. As he saw these two landmarks, Mo Wuji really wanted to curse out loud. That Tai Shixiao fella was really terrifyingly insidious because he wasn¡¯t lying about the fact that the Heavenly Desolate Grass would be beside a tortoise shape island and a silver river. Everything he mentioned about the positioning map was true. However, this place was within the void. If he couldn¡¯t enter this void, even if he were to be searching for his entire life in the Gods Heavenly Chasm, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find these two landmarks. If he managed to enter the void, he wouldn¡¯t even need the two landmarks to actually find the Heavenly Desolate Grass. If Tai Shixiao was able to enter this place, he would evidently benefitted a lot. Looking at the large amount of Heavenly Desolate Grass left behind, Mo Wuji knew that this fella would definitely come again. Perhaps, he might even be aware of the one stalk of the Void Nirvana Root. He would have never expected Mo Wuji to be able to enter this tear which was why he would be so daring to leave the Void Nirvana Root and all the other Heavenly Desolate Grass to grow in here. In fact, Mo Wuji should have thought of this in the first place. If that Tai Shixiao fella was able to find the Heavenly Desolate Grass, why wouldn¡¯t he have took everything away? This was indeed a loophole which Mo Wuji was disappointed that he didn¡¯t realised about it. However, now that he found this place, that fella could forget about retrieving any of the remaining herbs here. Mo Wuji dashed over to the tortoise shape island to realise that other than an ancient looking stone wall, this island was really empty. Mo Wuji brought Da Huang and Su Xi over to the stone wall and the first thing they saw was four big words: Star Sea Sacred Technique. The Star Sea Sacred Technique¡¯s outline was missing but after the outline was the detailed descriptions of the Star Sea Sacred Technique. Other than describing how to cultivate the Star Sea Sacred Technique, they even included the herbs needed to support every level of the technique. "Big Brother Mo, this Star Sea Sacred Technique appears to be quite extraordinary. I¡¯ve only memorise a small bit of it and I am already having a throbbing headache," Su Xi said with some fear in her voice. Mo Wuji nodded, "I understand now. Wait for me." He had the outline of the Star Sea Sacred Technique with him while the cultivation technique was found on this island. Su Xi and Tai Shixiao had similar cultivation level and since Su Xi experienced a throbbing headache only after looking at it for a while. Mo Wuji guessed that Tai Shixiao would probably not remember much of the content too. Since this was the case, he shall take away the entire stone wall today so that Tai Shixiao wouldn¡¯t be able to read any more of the content in his future trips back here. Mo Wuji retrieved a few array flags and after one hour, following Mo Wuji¡¯s movements and brandishing of the array flags, this entire stone wall was brought into his Undying World. "Big Brother Mo, I think this is a technique to cultivate the primordial spirit," Su Xi couldn¡¯t help but commented as she watched Mo Wuji kept this stone wall. Mo Wuji took out a copy of the Star Sea Sacred Technique which he made from the one Tai Shixiao gave him before passing it to Su Xi, "You are right but this is not to cultivate the primordial spirit. It is used to cultivate the sea of consciousness. This is the outline for you to try cultivating. If it is effective for you, I will carve out the rest for you in succession." Su Xi was pleasantly surprised because regardless who it was, a technique to cultivate the sea of consciousness would be a top notch technique. Even if the Mediation Nunnery had a rich and long history, they didn¡¯t have a treasure like this too. "We can leave now," Feeling satisfied that he managed to collect some ¡®interests¡¯, Mo Wuji said to both Su Xi and Da Huang. He had took a glance at the silver river and to him, it looked like an ordinary river. It seemed like a scene which was formed after some substances were brought into the void from the spatial tear from the Gods Heavenly Chasm. Because Mo Wuji reckoned that there would not be many useful items there, he didn¡¯t go over to check it out. "Have we found the way out?" Su Xi inquired. Mo Wuji pointed in front, "In front of us is a spatial tear and all we needed to do would be to time our escape the moment the spatial tear opened up." Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction was not wrong because without waiting for long, a spatial tear appeared right in front of them. At the instance the spatial tear opened up, Mo Wuji and Su Xi managed to charge out of the void under the protection of Da Huang. An immense energy surged towards them but Su Xi¡¯s faint lamp radiance managed to block out the energy surged. This was when Mo Wuji knew that they had left the void and was back at the Gods Heavenly Chasm. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan outwards and there was no visible landmarks around them. Evidently, Tai Shixiao had already drawn out the position of this location in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. In a place further away from them, an indistinct silhouette of a tower appeared in the range of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. "That is the Gods Tower and it would be opening soon," Even Su Xi was surprised at the sight of the tower. Mo Wuji passed Han Long¡¯s Gods Tower token and a few pills to Su Xi before saying, "We will head towards the Gods Tower together once it is open. These are a few Dry Wimple Pills, a Tier 8 immortal pill, which could help you alter your appearance and spirituality as often as you wish in a year. In the event where we are separated, I am sure that you have a method to survive on your own. As for the Dry Wimple Pill, swallow one of it just before the Gods Tower opened up." Just as Mo Wuji finished his sentence, more and more light radiance were shining from the periphery of the Gods Tower. "It is going to open soon!" Su Xi said anxiously as she swallowed the Dry Wimple Pill simultaneously. "Not yet, I believe it would still need some time before opening officially. I¡¯ve heard that the Gods Tower¡¯s opening would require the lower levels to be completed revealed first," Similarly, Mo Wuji also swallowed the Dry Wimple Pill as he urged Su Xi to not get too anxious. ¡­ In the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm, countless of people were simply staring at the Gods Tower which was emitting golden radiance in all four directions. Everyone looking in that direction knew that the Gods Tower was where most of the extraordinary items come from. These were items left behind from the battle of the gods in the ancient times. There were rumours that some of these treasures even surpassed the Grade 9 immortal equipments. Moreover, if one was able to obtain a legacy, it would definitely be an incredible boost for their cultivation in the future. Despite knowing that entering the Gods Tower was full of risks and that it was no simple task to leave the tower alive, everyone still longed to enter at least once in their life. Why was the Very High Heavens¡¯ Zi Changluo able to become a Dao Emperor, an existence which every immortal cultivators looked upon? It was precisely because Zi Changluo managed to obtain a supreme treasure from the Gods Tower which resulted in his ascension to become someone who was even mightier than a Grand Emperor. As for the actual cultivation level of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo presently, no one could be certain of it. The pity was that the slots to enter the Gods Tower was extremely limited and most of the slots belonged to the bigger sects of the Gods Heavenly Chasm. As for sects of the other immortal domains, even a powerhouse like Pill Dao Immortal Alliance would only receive at most three jade tokens. It would already be pretty impressive for the other sects to receive one or two jade tokens and as for those sects without any Immortal Emperor, they would basically not be qualified to enter the Gods Tower except for a few extremely fortunate ones. Chapter 644: Opening of Gods Tower Chapter 644: Opening of Gods Tower Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The light shining from within Gods Tower became increasingly stronger, causing the fog that had been blocking Gods Tower to melt away gradually. Soon, the full view of Gods Tower was revealed, and one could even see that there was a large pathway made of bluestone in front of it. Another half a month passed, before new sounds echoed through the area, while the fog that surrounded Gods Tower got torn away like a set of clothes, making the tower instantly clear. "The Gods Tower is about to open." As one person shouted out, cultivators with Gods Tokens anxiously stood waiting at the edge of Heavenly Gods Chasm. Once Gods Tower opened, they would charge straight in. Tai Shixiao also stood at the border, but while everyone¡¯s attention was fixed onto the bluestone pathway, his eyes were focused on the depths of Gods Heavenly Chasm. "You¡¯re Tai Shixiao?" A voice suddenly rang out beside Tai Shixiao¡¯s ears. A chill ran down his spine, following which a ghostly pale young man appeared before him. This guy was staring at him intently with a cold gaze. "I am Tai Shixiao, do you have any business with me?" Tai Shixiao asked while bowing respectfully. The young man casually said, "You previously used a Grade 8 immortal equipment and two bottles of Zhi Desolate Pills to exchange for Junior Sister Lu Yu¡¯s Gods Token, is that so?" "Ah¡­" Tai Shixiao stared at the young man blankly, and asked, "Gods Token? Are you talking the token that allows one to enter the Gods Tower?" "Don¡¯t try to act dumb, so did you or did you not exchange those items for Junior Sister Lu Yu¡¯s Gods Token?" The young man¡¯s furrowed his brows, questioning Tai Shixiao once more with a hint of impatience in his voice. Suddenly, Tai Shixiao responded, "Your grandpa did exchange items for it, so what can you do to your grandpa [1]?" After speaking, he immediately charged towards the Gods Tower. Most of the crowd had remained around the borders of the Gods Heavenly Chasm, because Gods Tower had not opened yet. But since there was one person that charged into Gods Heavenly Chasm, it set off a chain reaction, and a large portion of cultivators followed suit. The young man that stopped Tai Shixiao was stunned, but found out that Tai Shixiao had entered Gods Heavenly Chasm a long time ago. "Wait, Gods Tower has not opened yet." An experienced expert quickly shouted out. However, majority of them had already leapt into Gods Heavenly Chasm, so who could still be bothered about whether Gods Tower had opened or not? The thinking of men was always the same, no matter whether they had lived for 100 or 10,000 years. Once a new location opened up, the first to enter would have a greater chance of obtaining better things. ¡­ "Brother Mo, why are there suddenly so many people?" Su Xi, who was hiding in Gods Heavenly Chasm with Mo Wuji, saw a large group of people dashing straight at Gods Tower, hence she asked out of curiosity. Logically speaking, Gods Tower had not completely opened yet. Mo Wuji frowned, as he didn¡¯t know what was going on either. The Gods Tower was indeed supposed to be closed still. "Boom!" A thunderous sound echoed out, and a gigantic golden door appeared at the end of the bluestone path. The door opened up, releasing waves of ancient aura out into the open. In his heart, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but respect these fellows. Gods Tower was not open when they entered Gods Heavenly Chasm, but the moment that they approached the tower, it opened so coincidentally. "Su Xi, quickly keep the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Gods Tower has opened, so we¡¯ll go in immediately. Remember, except when absolutely necessary, do not use the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp ." Mo Wuji instructed her, before sending Da Huang into the Undying World. Minutes later, Mo Wuji and Su Xi silently merged into the crowd that was charging into Gods Tower. At this point, Mo Wuji had turned into a slightly tan youth, while Su Xi became his junior sister, no longer sporting her original nun look, and allowing her hair to drape down onto her shoulders. Gods Tokens were not easy to obtain, but that did not mean that there were only a few of them. It was rumored that every time Gods Tower closed, many cultivators would have died inside the tower, but every single Gods Token left inside would be sent out. Hence, every time Gods Tower opened up, there were large numbers of cultivators entering it. Most of the people holding Gods Tokens were charging furiously towards the golden doors, and Mo Wuji and Su Xi blended into the crowd, becoming very low profile. ¡­ At the border of Gods Heavenly Chasm, a blue haired man stared at the doors of Gods Tower intently, and every single cultivator that entered would be imprinted into his mind. But as the more people went it, the number of people outside grew lesser, and his expression grew uglier. His entire body seemed to be engulfed in lightning, with the aura of boundless, wild lightning essence. "Brother Guyun, you¡¯re waiting for that little bast*rd right?" A crisp voice sounded out beside the blue haired man. Turning around, the blue haired man looked towards the skinny man, and bowed respectfully, "So it¡¯s Great Sword Path¡¯s Brother Ming Xu. It seems like we¡¯re here for the same thing." The blue haired man was from Mahesvara Immortal Domain¡¯s Lightning Sect, and was the sect¡¯s number one expert. Back when he had just advanced to Immortal Emperor, a large sect that also had an Immortal Emperor was wiped out single-handedly by him. The skinny man carried a long sword on his back, and had a set of sharp brows and small eyes. His status was no lower than Lei Guyun, as he was the Sect Head of Luo Ling Immortal Domain¡¯s Great Sword Path. Since Great Sword Path¡¯s Immortal Reverent elder had been killed, he couldn¡¯t do nothing as the sect head. Moreover, the Immortal Reverent was Sa Jian, the master of Great Sword Path¡¯s genius, Huang Sha. "Brother Guyun¡¯s lightning spirituality is overflowing. It seems like you¡¯re at the cusp of breaking through for your great sacred art." Yi Mingxu knew that Lei Guyun was about to break through with one look, as there wouldn¡¯t be such excessive lightning spirituality otherwise. Normally, Lei Guyun wouldn¡¯t come out at this time, but since he did, and even came to Gods Heavenly Chasm, it was apparent how furious he was. Lei Guyun took in a deep breath, "That¡¯s right, this little b*stard killed the First Elder of my Lightning Sect, Qi Junyi, as well as another Immortal Reverent and Immortal King. If I don¡¯t break his bones and turn him into dust, I, Lei Guyun, would have cultivated for naught all these years." Nodding his head, Yi Mingxu agreed, "This person is extremely brutal and inhumane. To nail my the master-disciple pair of my Great Sword Path¡¯s Sa Jian at the border of Gods Immortal Chasm. I would love to extract his soul and cook it." Naturally, Lei Guyun understood what Yi Mingxu meant, and asked, "Logically speaking, this guy obtained a Gods Token, so he should have entered the Gods Tower, but why haven¡¯t I seen him?" Yi Mingxu casually replied, "There¡¯s many ways to change one¡¯s appearance. Since this Mo Wuji could reach Tier 7 Pill Emperor at such a young age, he definitely isn¡¯t a person that would give up easily. My guess is that he used some way to alter his appearance before entering Gods Tower. We just have to wait here, and as long as he doesn¡¯t die, he will come out. If he dies in Gods Tower, he¡¯s a lucky guy." ¡­ After entering the shiny golden doors, Mo Wuji felt a strong wave of energy sweeping him away. Under this almost boundless energy, he couldn¡¯t even fight back one bit. "Plop!" A freezing cold sensation seeped through his body, and Mo Wuji knew that he probably fell into some water. The first thing he did was to take out Da Huang. "Boom!" Once Da Huang came out, he threw out a punch, causing immortal elemental energy to wildly explode around him. This created a giant whirlpool in the surrounding waters. A fish with a mouth full of sharp fangs left a pool of blood behind as it quickly fled the scene. The smell of blood permeated the surroundings, and Mo Wuji instantly sensed that something was wrong. Hence, he called out to Da Huang, and immediately leapt out of the water. A moment later, countless unknown species of fish charged to his previous location in the water. Chills ran down Mo Wuji¡¯s spine as he realised that if he had been a second late, he would have been devoured till not even bits of his bones would remain. Who knew where Su Xi got sent to, but Mo Wuji just hoped that she wasn¡¯t in the same predicament as him, being sent to this sort of dangerous waters. However, Mo Wuji still did not dare to take out his flying shuttle, instead carefully treading the water surface with Da Huang. Eventually, they landed on a large smooth rock on the beach. Around the large stone, there was a whole stretch of grey sand which didn¡¯t seem that different from an ordinary beach. Heaving a sigh of relief, Mo Wuji was about to step onto the sand, but Da Huang suddenly jumped up, and threw out another punch. "Boom!" The surrounding sand turned into dust under the impact of the immortal elemental energy, and a small little goblin-like thing speedily escaped, almost instantly charging into the nearby sea. Upon seeing this, Mo Wuji sucked in a breath of cold air. He was aware of how strong Da Huang was, and the punch was at the level that even a Great Immortal Emperor would have to block with all his might. However, that little goblin did not flinch after being hit, and could still escape into the sea. "Da Huang, what was that scary thing?" Mo Wuji asked with some fear in his heart. In a muffled voice, Da Huang replied, "It seemed like some equipment spirit, but what exact equipment spirit, I don¡¯t know." After speaking, Da Huang scratched his head. Equipment spirit? An equipment spirit was so strong? Mo Wuji told himself to be more careful. Once he landed on the ground, there was a large bronze ring in the crater that Da Huang created. The bronze ring was made of some unknown materials, and his spiritual will couldn¡¯t penetrate it either. But it seemed like it was not a piece of scrap metal, as there was no spirituality about it. "Da Huang, from what I see, the equipment spirit that just escaped should have belonged to this bronze ring. The bronze ring looks like it¡¯s more powerful than Grade ( immortal equipments¡­" As Mo Wuji spoke, he stretched out his arm to grab the bronze ring. "Boom!" A jet of water shot out of the sea, and targeted Mo Wuji. Thankfully, Da Huang was just at his side, and let out a punch. "Splash!" An explosion rang out, and the thing that jumped out of the water was blown away by Da Huang once again. Mo Wuji ordered without hesitation, "Let¡¯s go Da Huang, we¡¯re leaving this place immediately." That equipment spirit wasn¡¯t nice to play with, each punch Da Huang threw out expended a portion of his green crystal. Once all of the green crystals were used up, Mo Wuji would probably be in danger. As for the bronze ring, he did not want it anymore. He was sure that the bronze ring belonged to the equipment spirit, and if he took it away, the equipment spirit would definitely come after him for his life. [1] Figure of speech in chinese Chapter 645: Death Everywhere Chapter 645: Death Everywhere Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he did not take the bronze ring, the equipment spirit indeed did not chase after him. "Da Huang, I believe that this is really where ancient gods battled." After they were a good distance away from the beach, Mo Wuji then spoke. Even though Da Huang had an artificial equipment spirit, and was only an immortal puppet, but when Mo Wuji spoke to him, he could only chuckle, without any further speech. Mo Wuji started to observe his surroundings. There were many shards of broken rock around, and the immortal spiritual energy was rather sparse too. The borders of his spiritual will was a blur, just like inside Gods Heavenly Chasm, with no sense of direction. Frowning, Mo Wuji thought hard. Logically speaking, Gods Tower was very tall, and should have many levels. Even if he was at the lowest level, there should be some entrance to the second level, but his spiritual will could neither give him a sense of direction, nor detect where the entrance was. It was a pity that he had exited Heavenly Chasm City so suddenly, otherwise he would have asked for a map of the interior of Gods Tower. "Whoosh!" A ear piercing sound echoed through the air, bringing with it intense killing intent. A sort of deathly aura descended upon Mo Wuji, and he didn¡¯t even have any means to avoid it. Almost instinctively, Da Huang threw out a punch, breaking up the tension in the air. At the same time, he backed up a few steps. Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned paler. That tension seemed to be a wave of killing intent. This wave of killing intent had been condensed in Gods Tower for an unknown amount of years, to the point that it had such a fearsome aura. If he didn¡¯t have Da Huang, he would have become a dead man by now. How long had it been since he entered Gods Tower? Not even two hours, and he had already met with wave after wave of danger. Each time, there was no way for him to fight back, and he could only rely on Da Huang to diffuse the situation. If entering Gods Tower was so dangerous, who could actually survive? "Da Huang, follow me closely and always be alert for dangers around us." Mo Wuji suspected that he had been sent to a special location. Otherwise, if Gods Tower was so dangerous, why wouldn¡¯t he have heard of it before? As he had lost his sense of direction, he could only choose a direction at random. About half a day of travelling with Da Huang later, there was a heavenly halberd stuck in the ground in front of them. The heavenly halberd was dark red in colour, and both sides of it seemed to be unaffected by the passage of time, still exuding a terrifying violent aura. Before Mo Wuji even got close to the halberd, he could sense the frightening killing intent. Compared to the killing intent that shot out suddenly previously, this one was many times stronger. Other than the killing intent, he could detect a sort of boundless characteristic of the halberd. This made Mo Wuji stop, not daring to proceed any further. With his current cultivation level, he would probably have been torn to shreds before coming close to the halberd. While he could not make out the grade of this halberd, Mo Wuji was sure that it surpassed Grade 9 immortal equipments. What was this place? Mo Wuji was shocked. There were treasures that surpassed Grade 9 immortal equipment everywhere, and equipment spirits were easily found too. On top of that, killing intent seemed to be sentient, and after a long period of time, the killing intent almost formed its own dao. Another question was that, since there were so many good things around, why hadn¡¯t anyone refined and taken them away yet? His cultivation level was merely at Grand Yi Immortal Stage, and could not refine these top grade treasures that had terrifying killing intent. But those that entered Gods Tower did not have cultivation levels as low as him, even though the rules stated that Immortal Emperors were not allowed to enter. But every time, there were a few that snuck in. On top of that, a large number of Immortal Reverents entered as well. "Master, I don¡¯t think this a good place." Even Da Huang worriedly voiced his concern. How couldn¡¯t Mo Wuji know that Da Huang was right? He knew from the start that this wasn¡¯t a good place to be. There were many good things lying around, but none of them could be taken away. At this point, he just hoped to leave this place as soon as possible. "Da Huang, let¡¯s move in a different direction. The killing intent from this side is too heavy¡­" Mo Wuji decisively spoke. Although the land around this halberd was just an empty plain, but Mo Wuji felt as though as he was looking at a graveyard of corpses. The scene before him was so picturesque, it almost seemed like a god was conducting a massacre with the halberd. Countless experts had been reduced to dust under this halberd, and their corpses lay behind the man. But in the War of the Gods, there never was one strongest expert that emerged. There were only stronger experts than the ones before. While this man that wielded the heavenly halberd was strong, but he still met an expert even stronger than he was, and ultimately died. Even his halberd also fell from the sky, sticking into the ground here, bringing about killing intent and endless regret to the area. ¡­ At the same time, Su Xi landed. The only difference between Mo Wuji and her was that she was with the rest of the crowd, and was sent onto a gigantic plaza. Most of the people left the plaza swiftly with their own groups. Unsure of her surroundings, Su Xi looked around, but could not find any trace of Mo Wuji. This made her very afraid, as she did not understand why Brother Mo was not sent over with the rest. Without Mo Wuji by her side, even though she had taken a Dry Wimple Pill, she dared not go too close to other people. Thus, she left the plaza after choosing a direction to go. Right after she set foot outside the plaza, she could feel a dense and wild spiritual energy¡­ No, this wasn¡¯t spiritual energy. Instead it was something even higher quality than spiritual energy. Although it was weak, Su Xi could sense that cultivating in such an environment would be many times better than undergoing closed door cultivation in a cave in the Immortal World. Recalling that she was about to break through to intermediate Grand Yi Immortal Stage, Su Xi decided to find a location to consolidate her progress, before studying the Star Sea Sacred Technique. She was not the same as other people. The reason that she entered the Gods Tower was not to search for treasure, but purely to be with Mo Wuji. When her master was still around, her master was her everything. However, since her master had died, and Mo Wuji saved her, she took Mo Wuji as the only person she could rely on. In her heart, she would only feel safe with Brother Mo around. Tis was also why she was not willing to leave with Zhuo Pingan alone, even though Zhuo Pingan¡¯s was much stronger than Mo Wuji, instead choosing to explore Gods Heavenly Chasm with Mo Wuji. Now that Brother Mo was not around, she did not want to move around haphazardly. Everything could wait till she found a spot to wait for Brother Mo. ¡­ At the borders of Gods Heavenly Chasm, a flying ship landed, and out came an unassuming man. This man not only appeared ordinary, with a slightly yellow face, even his clothes were ordinary too. A body covered with clothes made with hemp cloth, and a pair of hemp shoes. This made him seem like an ascetic immortal cultivator. However, his gaze was particularly sharp, and a light aura of blood lingered around him, almost as though as he had just climbed out of an ocean of blood. After getting off the flying ship, he quickly walked over to Yi Mingxu, bowing respectfully, "Disciple Huang Sha greets Sect Head." Yi Mingxu, who was originally staring at the entrance to Gods Tower with Lei Guyun, loosened up, nodding as he saw he hemp clothed man approach. He spoke warmly, "Huang Sha, not bad, you didn¡¯t disappoint your master and the sect. In a short period of time, your dao has become more condensed, and your cultivation level has improved to the peak of advanced Immortal King Stage too. With a little more work, you¡¯ll join the ranks of Immortal Reverents. Compared to your lousy master, you¡¯re much stronger. The man named Huang Sha immediately bowed again, "Disciple¡¯s skills are still lowly, I dare not compare myself with master." Waving his hand, Yi Mingxu replied, "You need not be that humble. You¡¯re also aware of Sa Jian¡¯s standard. In Great Sword Path, I look favourably upon both you and Fang Shijiang. Fang Shijiang will be entering Very High Heavens soon, so he¡¯ll have his own cultivation in the future. Hence, the future of Luo Ling Immortal Domain¡¯s Great Sword Path will lie in your hands." "Disciple will not disappoint Sect Head." Huang Sha coldly assured Yi Mingxu. Yi Mingxu nodded his head, "My reason for summoning you here today is to let you enter Gods Immortal Tower. It was not easy to obtain this slot. After you enter, you only have to kill one person." Before Yi Mingxu could reveal the name of this person, Huang Sha looked up with determination in his eyes, "I will kill Mo Wuji, and avenge my master and junior brother." Satisfied with Huang Sha¡¯s response, Yi Mingxu added on, "You must remember, the immortal puppe at Mo Wuji¡¯s side is not simple, and is very likely an Immortal Emperor expert. There¡¯s an elemental energy that supasses spiritual energy in Gods Tower, so with your level of talent, and this pill, I believe that you will be able to advance to Immortal Reverent." After speaking, Yi Mingxu took out a jade bottle and a gray array disc to pass to Huang Sha. As Huang Sha received the jade bottle, uncontrollable happiness welled up within. His spiritual will had detected that an Extreme Reverent Pill was inside the jade bottle. Extreme Reverent Pills were not run of the mill Tier 8 immortal pills. They could give an Immortal King a 40% chance of advancing to Immortal Reverent. The quality of the Extreme Reverent Pill in his hands was extremely good, almost reaching unique grade. With his resources and the immortal spiritual energy in Gods Tower, combined with this Extreme Reverent Pill, one could consider him as halfway in Immortal Reverent Stage. "Many thanks Sect Head, just what is this array disc for?" Huang Sha¡¯s tone reflected some of his excitement. Slightly smiling, Yi Mingxu explained, "Even if you were an Immortal Reverent, you wouldn¡¯t be able to fight an Immortal Emperor immortal puppet. This array disc is a Grade 9 immortal equipment, puppet restricting disc. Any puppet type magic treasures will have its spiritual will and immortal elemental energy restricted under the effects of this array disc. You will have enough time to deal with Mo Wuji. Remember, if you can capture him alive, then do so and bring him back. If you can¡¯t then kill him, and bring back his treasures. Also, Mo Wuji should have altered his appearance. I trust that you can detect him with your instincts." "Roger Sect Head." Joy erupted in Huang Sha¡¯s heart. His luck was rather good, "Go now, the doors of Gods Tower are about to close." Yi Mingxu gestured to Huang Sha. With that, Huang Sha turned around and charged into Gods Heavenly Chasm, entering Gods Tower a short while later. "Your Great Sword Path has great geniuses. Regardless whether it¡¯s Huang Sha or Fang Shijiang, they¡¯re all nine star geniuses with exceptional talent." Lei Guyun commented jealously from the side. Yi Mingxu chuckled, "Your Lightning Sect recently took in a super genius. I heard that he¡¯s of nine star caliber, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know about it." Upon hearing this, Lei Guyun finally smiled. Lei Hongji wasn¡¯t just of nine star caliber. Even he had never seen someone as great a genius as Lei Hongji. Compared to Lei Hongji, a nine star genius wasn¡¯t much. .. Chapter 646: Grand Zhi In A Flash Chapter 646: Grand Zhi In A Flash Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji came to a halt again but this time, there were two corpses in front of him. He had no idea how long these two corpses had been dead for but the faint golden radiance within the skeleton was still very eye catching. The two corpses were about ten feets away from each other and despite not having their fleshly bodies or their primordial spirits, they seemed to be in some sort of confrontation with each other. There was a giant axe stuck across the throat to the left chest of one of the corpse. While the giant axe was driven deep into the skeleton, traces of killing intent were still pervading around the axe. On the other corpse, a Wolf Fang Mace perforated through the lower abdomen of the body and the killing intent encircling it was equally as shocking. These two weapons were immortal equipments which surpassed Grade 9. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath because he had seen countless of such situations on the way here but normally, he would simply evade the corpse and chose not to touch these treasures and the corpses itself. He was aware that given his current strength, he wouldn¡¯t be capable enough to touch it even if he wanted to. The instance he went closer to it, he would be torn apart by the terrifying killing intent. This time round, Mo Wuji swallowed his saliva as he stared at the finger of the corpse with his lower abdomen pierced through by the Wolf Fang Mace. There was an exquisite looking storage ring and Mo Wuji could only imagine how incredible the items inside would be if it belonged to an expert like this. Previously, it wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji had no intentions of acquiring the other storage rings but because the killing intents of the corpses he met were simply too mighty. He was simply unable to approach any of the corpses even if he really wanted to. He was similarly unable to approach this corpse but the storage ring was in a reachable position. "Da Huang, help me see if you could retrieve that storage ring back for me. Remember not to force it," Mo Wuji warned Da Huang repeatedly before drawing out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he guarded Da Huang anxiously. Da Huang let out a ¡®En¡¯ sound before walking cautiously towards the side of the corpse. Mo Wuji watched on with great anticipation as Da Huang¡¯s fingers were about to touch the storage ring safely. "Boom!" The instance Da Huang¡¯s fingers touched the storage ring, a terrifying killing intent surged towards the sky and Da Huang seemed to have been electrocuted as he was blown up into the sky like a kite before falling back down. Mo Wuji got worried as he dashed over immediately. A natural looking half inch deep groove appeared on Da Huang¡¯s chest and the fluctuation of Da Huang¡¯s energy turned extremely weak. Mo Wuji quickly sent a green crystal into Da Huang¡¯s body and Da Huang stood up once again," My Lord, that storage ring is way too frightening for me to retrieve. This man was much stronger than the person who forged me." "Forget it, we won¡¯t take this," Mo Wuji replied in a hurry because he really didn¡¯t want it anymore. He could forget about it if it was something even Da Huang was unable to retrieve. His futile attempt to retrieve the storage ring caused more harm than good because he wasted a green crystal and even caused Da Huang to suffer great pain. To make things worse, he only had three more of the green crystals meant for Da Huang. The moment he exhausted all three of the green crystals, he would lose Da Huang¡¯s protection and a friend. In Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, Da Huang had already been considered his friend. After learning his lesson the hard way, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue coveting for any item in here as he was mainly focused on finding the way out of the place. Mo Wuji and Da Huang had been wandering cautiously for over seven to eight days but there were only skeletons, all sorts of treasures or killing intent which were impossible to guard against in this place. On this day, Mo Wuji finally sensed a trace of denser immortal energy, no, it was an elemental energy which was similar to the one of the green crystal. "Da Huang, could you sense an elemental energy which was similar to your green crystal?" Mo Wuji suspected himself as he turned and questioned Da Huang, who was closely behind him. Da Huang said in a low and muffled voice, "Yes, I have indeed felt it. It was like, like¡­" Da Huang seemed to be finding the correct words before saying, "It was like the elemental energy I felt when I was first forged out. However, the energy here was not as dense as the one I first left." "Let¡¯s check it out," Mo Wuji quicken his footsteps. Mo Wuji and Da Huang walked forward and the immortal energy became denser while the number of corpses on the floor was also increasing. Mo Wuji and Da Huang were both trying their best to avoid these corpses and regardless of how strong the magic treasures appeared to be, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother with any of it. After three days, Mo Wuji finally came to a halt as he saw a flight of stairs. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji had been searching for a flight of stairs. Since the Gods Tower was a tower, there would be many levels in it. As long as he could find a flight of stairs, he would be able to leave this level. At this moment, Mo Wuji should be elated at the sight of a staircase but Mo Wuji was feeling suspicious and puzzled instead. Since he was just transferred into the Gods Tower, he should be in the lowest level according to common sense and the flight of stairs that he found should be leading up to the second level. On the contrary, the flight of stairs in front of him was leading down and his spiritual will was unable to sense the end of the flight of stairs. Could this level that he was on be the highest level of the Gods Tower? Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t wrap his head around this but he chose to stop thinking about it because whether he was on the highest level or not, he didn¡¯t wish to stay in this dangerous level for any longer. The items on this level were indeed so incredible such that every single one of them would be able to set off a massive uproar in the Immortal World. The pity was that every item here was as impractical as a Dragonsword to him. Beside this flight of stairs was a massive and round energy gathering array. Mo Wuji finally realised why the elemental energy throughout the level was so weak because all the energy was gathered here by the array. Mo Wuji approached the energy gathering array carefully as he confirmed that there were indeed no danger within the array. Once he confirmed that, he bit his teeth before stepping right into the energy gathering array. Extremely dense elemental energy surged over as Mo Wuji took one deep breath in. This was a place which was naturally most suitable to cultivate in because these were elemental energy which were converted from the energy of the green crystal. "Da Huang, I am going to cultivate in here for a while. Help me guard the outside," Mo Wuji made his decision not to waste an opportunity like this. He had an intuition that cultivating here for a year would be better than cultivating in some other place for tens or even hundreds of years. When Mo Wuji started cultivating his reverse immortal mortal technique and formed a massive spiritual circulation with every single one of the 108 small circulations, he found out that he had clearly underestimated the effectiveness of cultivating here. It wasn¡¯t because of the density elemental energy but the much higher grade of the energy here as compared to the energy of high grade immortal crystals. Even though the layer of energy was not extremely dense here and was even considered slightly thin, the thin layer of energy that was converted into immortal energy filled up Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians very quickly. Even the small circulations of all 108 meridians and the large circulation was unable to completely utilise all the elemental energy here. This was the first time Mo Wuji was unable to fully utilise the energy in the surrounding for his cultivation. As time passed by, this was the first time Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level soared at an insane rate after the difficult Grand Yi Immortal Stage. In no time, he was in the intermediate Grand Yi Immortal Stage and in less than a month, he managed to touch the bottleneck of the advanced Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Six months later, Mo Wuji arrived directly at the Great Circle of the Grand Yi Stage and even without using the Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill, he managed to step into Grand Zhi Immortal... This isn¡¯t right as Mo Wuji stopped cultivating immediately. How could he enter the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage so mysteriously? Logically speaking, advancing from the Grand Yi Immortal Stage to the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage should be accompanied by lightning tribulation but yet he didn¡¯t feel any lightning tribulation. Could he be trapped in a hallucination after entering this place? At the thought of hallucination, Mo Wuji panicked before standing up and letting out a punch. His raging immortal energy was countless of folds much stronger than before and he was well aware that this was indeed the strength of a Grand Zhi Immortal. In fact, even his sea of consciousness was expanded tremendously. As he looked at Da Huang, who was still guarding the outside, Mo Wuji was in a dilemma. He was unsure if he should continue cultivating because this place was simply too peculiar. The grade of every magic treasure and it''s killing intent were extremely frightening while the rate of cultivation was even more exaggerated. He could still neglect all these but the key was that neither did he undergo any lightning tribulations nor did he take in any Immortal Cleansing Grand Zhi Pill when advancing from the Grand Yi Immortal Stage to the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. He was really suspecting that this might be an illusion or a hallucination but the realistic display of his strength earlier on proved that it wasn¡¯t. Should he continue to cultivate? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji noticed that the flight of stairs leading downwards was starting to turn faint as if it was about to disappear any time soon. At this moment, why would Mo Wuji continue cultivating as he jumped right towards the stairs while shouting, "Da Huang, follow me. Quick, we are getting out of here fast." Despite the great advantages of cultivating here, Mo Wuji knew that he couldn¡¯t stay here for long because a place like this could take his life away at any moment. At the instance when he jumped onto the stairs, Mo Wuji was already prepared to draw out his Book of Luo when needed. However, he realised that he was simply over thinking because the flight of stairs was extremely safe and was no different from an ordinary flight of stairs. Mo Wuji counted and after about 100 over steps, Da Huang and himself were already standing on a flat ground. As he looked behind him, the flight of stairs had already disappeared which meant that he wouldn¡¯t be able to return even if he wanted to. Mo Wuji was not too concerned about the fact that he was unable to head back up because what was the use of going back up? He was not even strong enough to pick up any of the useful items on the top floor and if he was not careful, he could lose his life easily. What he was worried now would be if this level would be the same and filled with dangers. Also, where was the immortal sealing array mentioned by the white moustached fishing old man? Or rather, which level of the Gods Tower was it on? Mo Wuji took out two tokens: The Immortal Seeking Token and the Universal Peak Token. When he received this Immortal Seeking Token, he found out that this token was left behind by a man called Ji Feiqian. Mo Wuji had no idea where Ji Feiqian picked up the Heaven Seeking Staircase from and how it ended up at the Zhen Xing¡¯s Heaven Seeking Palace. Additionally, there was also an unknown white moustached fishing old man watching over it. Furthermore, the surname of the person the white moustached fishing old man requested for Mo Wuji to rescue was also Ji and the name was Ji Li in full. He had no idea how Ji Feiqian and Ji Li were related to each other too. Regardless, since he was already here in the Gods Tower, he had to take a look within it. Mo Wuji said that he would do his best and if it was really out of his means, he should not be held accountable. After all, this Gods Tower was so petrifying that he almost died a few times after just walking one round in it. Chapter 647: The Secret Of The Universal Peak Token Chapter 647: The Secret Of The Universal Peak Token Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as Mo Wuji was pondering as to which direction to walk, the Universal Peak Token in his hand suddenly displayed an extremely dazzling light. This was a fleeting light like a flame burning on the surface on the Universal Peak Token for a while. Moments later, the faint green on the surface of the Universal Peak Token disappeared as it turned into a bright scene of the universe. Mo Wuji felt the energy of the boundless universe in his hands instead of the warmness of jade which he used to feel. At this instance, Mo Wuji felt as though the entire universe was in his hands. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on the Universal Peak Token and he could instantly feel himself in the vastness. Two rows of tiny words which were inscribed on the Universal Peak Token were seemingly floating in the vast universe in front of him. "War of the Gods, The Shattered Universe." Following which, Mo Wuji was surprisingly able to sense the position of the Gods Tower from the Universal Peak Token. He noticed that the Gods Tower consisted of a total of 36 levels and he was currently on the 35th level. His guess was indeed correct as he first arrived at the peak level of the Gods Tower. Mo Wuji was able to locate the flight of stairs on the 35th level which would lead him downwards and similarly, there was an energy gathering array right beside the entrance of the stairs. "Da Huang, watch the staircase from the outside of the energy gathering array and the moment this flight of stairs turn faint, inform me immediately," Mo Wuji finished his orders and dashed right inside the energy gathering array to start cultivating. He wasn¡¯t simply going to let such a good opportunity slip by just like that. Concurrently, he was starting to suspect that the flight of stairs was related to the elemental energy within the energy gathering array. His guess was that the instance he started to absorb too much of the elemental energy, the staircase would turn faint. Mo Wuji had been cultivating within the energy gathering array for over five months and just as he was about to enter the intermediate Grand Zhi Immortal Stage, Da Huang shouted for him. Mo Wuji stopped cultivating and he really did notice that the staircase leading from the 35th level to the 34th was starting to turn faint as if it was about to disappear. "Not bad, we can go down now," Mo Wuji patted on Da Huang¡¯s brain pleasingly as he decided to head towards the 34th level to continue his cultivation. At this moment, Mo Wuji naturally knew why Nai He wanted the Universal Peak Token. While Mo Wuji had no idea how Nai He was aware of this, he realised that the Universal Peak Token contained the overall layout of the Gods Tower including the entrance and exit of every level. Every level in the Gods Tower was vast and boundless so without this Universal Peak Token, one would not be able to find each level in a short amount of time. Nai He probably wanted the Universal Peak Token because she wanted to obtain all sorts of treasures in the Gods Tower. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart at how wrong Nai He was because even if Mo Wuji had given Nai He the Universal Peak Token, she would not be able to obtain any of the treasure here in the Gods Tower too. This was an ancient battlefield and the lack of killing intents in the lower level was probably because of the frequent opening of the Gods Tower which resulted in the good items being acquired by others. The higher levels would probably have not been opened before which was why it was filled with so much terrifying killing intent that even Da Huang was unable to take a mere storage ring away. It would be odd if Nai He was able to take anything away from the Gods Tower. And because of this simple reason, other than cultivating in every single level, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t harbour any thoughts of obtaining any of the items here. ¡­ It had already been three years since Mo Wuji entered the Gods Tower and at this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the flight of stairs leading from the 19th level to the 18th level. He knew that he could forget about cultivating any more because the elemental energy in each level from the 18th level onwards would get significantly lesser. Moreover, the amount of time he cultivated in each level was getting lesser and lesser which proved that he was getting closer to levels which people had searched through. In three years, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t obtain a single treasure but he didn¡¯t feel disappointed at all because of what he had gained. In three years, he managed to advance from a Grand Yi Immortal to an expert in the Great Circle of the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage and was only one step away from becoming a Grand Luo Immortal. He might not even attain such progress in the Immortal World even if he were to be behind closed doors for 30 years. Furthermore, he still had all his immortal crystals with him after three years of cultivation. The only thing he didn¡¯t understand was why would he be transferred to the 36th level and not the first? Mo Wuji brought Da Huang down the stairs from level 19 to level 18 and the Universal Peak Token started displaying an additional red line and the red line pointed to another direction. Could the immortal sealing array be located on this level? Regardless, Mo Wuji had returned to his original appearance as he didn¡¯t continue using the Dry Wimple Pill. At such low levels was where he might meet other cultivators and Da Huang would be too eye catching. However, he did not dare to not bring Da Huang along to the immortal sealing array so as long as he brought Da Huang along, there was no need for him to conceal his appearance. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare waste any more time because he had no idea when the Gods Tower would be closing up. If he finally made it into the Gods Tower and didn¡¯t manage to locate the immortal sealing array before the Gods Tower closed, he would simply be a joke. A few silhouettes appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will but Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t wish to interact with them at this point in time. Just as he was about to change course, the few people had already landed right beside him. "Pill Master Mo?" A clear and surprised voice could be heard. Mo Wuji chuckled, "So it is Junior Sister Ruoyue of the Green Immortal House? A pleasure to meet you indeed. I didn¡¯t expect that you would arrive at the 18th level so quickly because I thought everyone was still wandering around the first few levels and I was the only one here." Two males and one female were the few people who came over to Mo Wuji. One of the man was wearing a yellow robe while the other one was wearing a brown one. The female was Qing Ruoyue of the Green Immortal House and her mother was Qing Yang, who Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of because of the way she conducted herself. Mo Wuji was also aware that Qing Ruoyue was chosen by the Very High Heavens and that after this trip to the Gods Tower, Qing Ruoyue would be heading towards the Very High Heavens to cultivate. "Hahaha!" Qing Ruoyue heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t control but to burst out in laughter, "Pill Master Mo, it has already been three years and those with the Gods Tower map would basically be on the 18th level already." She thought to herself that this Pill Master Mo must have looked highly upon himself to think that he would believe he was the only one on this 18th level. Furthermore, she was already in the elemental Grand Luo Immortal Stage and while Mo Wuji shouldn¡¯t have reached the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, why did he addressed her as ¡®junior sister¡¯? It was just as Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction, most of the people did have the map. "You are Mo Wuji? That rogue pill master? The one who saw the opportunity to steal the Mediation Nunnery¡¯s Great Kun Buddhist lamp before using Zhuo Pingan to kill the Great Sword Path¡¯s Sa Jian?" The person speaking was the man in yellow on the left of Qing Ruoyue and to Mo Wuji, this yellow robe looked like the colour of dog pee, extremely unpleasant. On the contrary, this man was actually extremely good looking with his sharp eyebrows and long, elegant hair. His entire body was exuding with energy and with a saber on his back, he looked even more arrogant. His cultivation level was pretty decent as well because he was already in the advanced Grand Luo Immortal Stage and was about to enter the realms of an Immortal King. With such good looks, he really didn¡¯t know how to match his outerwear as he chose to wear a dog pee colour robe. Qing Ruoyue heard from her mother about Mo Wuji and how he was not one who would bow down to anyone just because they were stronger. According to people, this fella even dared to ask Lun Cai and the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s head to screw off in front of everyone. Now that her partner said such things to Mo Wuji, she was worried that Mo Wuji might get angry so she hurried to step in and said, "Pill Master Mo, let me introduce to my friends. This is the Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s Immortal Blade Path¡¯s Dao Feng. Senior Brother Dao Feng¡¯s talent for blade dao was incredibly exceptional and because this was his focus from the very beginning, he even changed his surname to be Dao. [1] Senior Brother Dao Feng, Pill Master Mo came out to help the Mediation Nunnery should be out of kind heart and not for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp." Qing Ruoyue was apparently not very good with her words because even though she meant that Mo Wuji would not kill Su Xi for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, it sounded odd when she actually said it out. Dao Feng could only chuckle faintly, "Who could be sure of anything in this world? I see Pill Master Mo now but I don¡¯t see Junior Sister Su Xi." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother wasting time with these people so he casually said, "You are right and I have the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp with me but I am not intending to give it to you. Junior Sister Ruoyue, I¡¯ll see you again." Mo Wuji turned and left immediately after his sentence as he didn¡¯t really bother about his claim to Dao Feng that he harmed Su Xi and took her Great Kun Buddhist Lamp away. To him, he actually wanted people to believe that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was with him. If people believed that, less attention would be brought onto Su Xi. "Pill Master Mo, I¡¯ve heard that you used saber in the past too so why don¡¯t you let me see how are your blade dao? Of course, I know that your immortal puppet is pretty incredible so I will admit defeat the moment you used your immortal puppet to attack," Dao Feng heard that Mo Wuji was leaving so he took a step sideways to block off Mo Wuji¡¯s path. Previously, Mo Wuji only treated Dao Feng like a passerby but now, he started to observe this fella carefully. Having known that Mo Wuji had an incredibly strong immortal puppet and tricks up his sleeves, this fella must have a unique character to actually dare to challenge him. "Do you really think that just because your blade dao is exceptional that I won¡¯t dare to kill you?" Mo Wuji looked calmly at Dao Feng. Dao Feng laughed, "Pill Master Mo even dare to kill the Immortal Emperor of the Lightning Sect and pinned the Immortal Reverent using a saber at the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm so why would you not dare to kill a mere being like me? However, even if I were to be killed by you, I want to witness your blade dao. I¡¯ve heard of your three blades sacred art and I was hoping to be able to block it." Mo Wuji was finally able to understand why this arrogant fella would use cheap words to try and agitate him. This fella was truly hoping to spar with him using their blades and it seemed like this fella was truly in love with blades. "I shall fulfill your wish then," Mo Wuji indicated for Da Huang to move aside before raising his hand and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in his hand. When he was in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, he was already able to match up with a Grand Luo Immortal. Now that he was only a step away from the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, why would he need Da Huang to deal with a Dao Feng. "You changed magic treasure?" Dao Feng noticed that Mo Wuji¡¯s weapon was the Half Moon Weighted Halberd before asking with a frown on his face. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Dao Feng, I can¡¯t believe you specialise in blades. In my eyes, blade dao is the halberd dao which is also the spear dao, sword dao and the dao of everything. In your eyes, you only have one blade and neglected the true blade dao. The true blade dao is not just one blade but a killing dao." Dao Feng clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji unexpectedly before saying, "I¡¯ve learnt a lot from you. Pill Master Mo, please have a look at my blade." As he spoke, Dao Feng¡¯s blade in his hand started to tremble as it turned into an endless leaf blades. An autumn bleak passed by and Mo Wuji could feel himself being brought by the autumn wind into a forest with countless of residual leaves. These leaves looked harmless but it turned into blade intents as it locked up this entire space. Mo Wuji turned serious because he never expected Dao Feng¡¯s blade dao to be this advanced. This type of casual Falling Leaves Blade Dao would definitely not be something that was learnt but a blade dao sacred art which he enlightened on his own. Chapter 648: I Am Here To Kill Him Chapter 648: I Am Here To Kill Him Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji wielded the Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he swept up a halberd radiance. If Dao Feng¡¯s blade radiance was falling like leaves in the sky, Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance would be like a fierce wind sweeping up a land of gravels. The falling leaves brought along forlorn late autumn feels while the gravels swept up the grand and extravagant desert. Both of them didn¡¯t use their domain because this was not a fight but a duel between a blade dao sacred art and a halberd dao sacred art. "Boom!" The falling leaves clashed with the grand desert and the entire sky was overwhelming with radiances. Killing intent could be felt everywhere around them as the sky full of falling leaves turned instantly into tiny blades while the grand desert on land exploded and started raging against the leaves. Dao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up because this was the type of sacred art he wanted. His sacred art was lacking that type of majesty and vigorous because the moment he executed it, what it displayed was a depressing, miserable and chilly attack, just like a wing forward. While Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert¡¯s extravagant and vastness was exactly what he wanted. Perhaps, today could be the day he obtained what he was lacking the most. At this instance, even the cultivators on the outside could feel the bone piercing energy emitting from the duel as they all took a step back. Dao Feng¡¯s excitement was surging and even though the explosive halberd radiance had already torn his clothing and caused multiple scars on his body, he appeared as if he didn¡¯t see it. He continued taking a step forward as he wielded the saber from the inside to the outside. "Cross Blade Descending Shadow Autumn.." The blade became even more chilly as it brought along a blade intent as if the world was crying while the cross was struck forward. A blade in the shape of a cross was swung forward and the entire space was split into four sections. The seemingly scratched space was overwhelming with depressing and chilly energy. If Dao Feng¡¯s first blade was the Autumn Falling Leaves then his second blade would be Mournful Autumn. Under a space splitting attack like this, everything would be torn apart by the blade. The blade was cold as ice and the strike would definitely not show any mercy on the opponent. It was really a blade dao of his own and meanwhile, Mo Wuji swung his Half Moon Weighted Halberd once more and the land of desert disappeared. His first halberd radiance attacked from bottom upwards but now, his halberd radiance was attacking from top to bottom. Once the halberd was wielded, it was no longer a radiance but a long, silver river. The river started pouring down as it tried to engulf the entire cross. "Boom boom boom!" The two sacred arts confronted each other as the sky was bursting in explosions yet again. Blade radiance dissipated while the halberd¡¯s shadow started tearing apart. The desolate autumn was engulfed completely as all they could feel was extravagance and vastness. "Kacha!" Dao Feng¡¯s hand was burst apart by the tremendous counter attack of Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd shadow but he could only stare blankly at the long river flowing down. This halberd managed to engulf his ¡®Cross Blade Descending Shadow Autumn¡¯ sacred art and turned it into a silver river. Just like his first blade sacred art, his second blade lost to Mo Wuji as well and they shouldn¡¯t even be compared on the same level. The eyes of Qing Ruoyue, who was watching by the side, instantly lit up. When Dao Feng wielded his first strike, she was so close to tears because facing such a terrifying attack, there should be nothing Mo Wuji could do other than to sacrifice his blood. She couldn¡¯t figure out what methods Mo Wuji had to defend against this attack or maybe he could dodge it in the nick of time. However, when she saw Mo Wuji¡¯s river came pouring down, she knew that she was wrong. As compared to the chilly cross blade shadow, Mo Wuji¡¯s attack was much more grand and majestic. Perhaps, this was the true dao, whether it was the blade dao, halberd dao or even the sword dao. Dao Feng was able use the reason of being embarrassed or wounded to escape but he chose to stare at the river pouring down in torrents. If he were to die under a sacred art like that, he would still consider it to be his good fortune. He was a little regretful that he wouldn¡¯t have the time to gain proper insights on a sacred art like that. "Kacha!" The immortal energy suddenly solidified as blood started appearing on the corner of Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd stopped in midair as Mo Wuji was utterly speechless. This Dao Feng fella was simply too ridiculous. Even though his halberd river was strong, it wouldn¡¯t be strong enough to kill Dao Feng but this fella actually chose not to dodge this attack so that he could feel this halberd sacred art firsthand. He didn¡¯t wish to kill Dao Feng so he stopped his own halberd river forcefully. It was truly depressing that when going up against a Grand Luo Immortal, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hurt the opponent but hurt himself instead. "Great halberd," Dao Feng saw the stationary halberd and couldn¡¯t help but to praise it. Instead of thanking Mo Wuji for saving his life, he chose to praise Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd. Mo Wuji kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd before saying, "Don¡¯t find me if you¡¯re courting your own death. I¡¯ve had enough troubles on my plate." Dao Feng appeared like he didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji was talking to him as he continued, "I¡¯ve heard that you still have the third blade¡­ Oh, I meant third halberd sacred art so why didn¡¯t you execute it?" What can Mo Wuji say to a person like this? He could only calm himself down and said, "I have no hatred against you so I really didn¡¯t wish to kill you." Mo Wuji was not boasting about this even though Dao Feng was much stronger than Ni Ju. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s current strength was so much stronger than when he was fighting against Ni Ju. If he didn¡¯t avoid using his third halberd sacred art, even Mo Wuji might not be able to control the last sacred art if it was executed. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Dao Feng revealed a disappointed expression. Following which, he said enthusiastically, "Brother Mo, why was my blade dao only a small stream as compared to your halberd dao¡¯s big river?" In terms of such theoretical subjects, Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding would definitely be a realm greater than Dao Feng. All his techniques were self created and such techniques would definitely not be something Dao Feng could compare to. In reply to Dao Feng¡¯s question, Mo Wuji chose to be completely honest, "This is because your blade dao only contain blade intent and not blade force. Sacred art with only intent and not force might be effective on some days but it will never become a true, peak grade sacred art. You saw how desolate the autumn was but you didn¡¯t see the autumn¡¯s rewards, you didn¡¯t see the autumn¡¯s beauty and you didn¡¯t see the autumn¡¯s magnificence. What you saw was only one side of the autumn which was why your sacred art only displayed one side of its true power, which lacked the blade force in it." Dao Feng¡¯s eyes opened so widely as he pondered as to why he didn¡¯t thought of all these in the past. If he could think of all these, his sacred art would definitely be countless of folds stronger. "Many thanks Brother Mo for your guidance," Dao Feng clasped his fist respectfully before saying in a serious tone, "The reason why I didn¡¯t choose to dodge your second winding river sacred art was because I really liked that. Even if I were to die under such an attack, I would be more than satisfied. I believe that in the future, I might be able to see sacred art stronger than your winding river but I will definitely not see a sacred art which could touch my heart like yours did." Mo Wuji shook his head because he was unable to understand such beliefs. Dao Feng seemed to understand Mo Wuji¡¯s meaning so he continued, "Anyway, I would only suffer terrible injuries and I would probably recover after hundreds of years so I might not die. Just like what Brother Mo said earlier on, blade dao, halberd dao, spear dao and sword dao are all killing dao so I would only be able to truly enlighten that if my body experienced the full force¡­" "He is speaking nonsense!" An abrupt voice interrupted Dao Feng¡¯s words. A medium built man wearing a sesame coloured robe and shoes while carrying a long sword on his back walked over. Everyone¡¯s attention fell on this man as his looks were as ordinary as his clothing and his face was a little sallow. His sword had no sheath on it as his entire body was exuding blood thirsty killing intent. Dao Feng furrowed his brows and before he could ask, the sesame robe man spoke again, "Every dao is unique. The blade dao is the blade dao while the sword dao is the sword dao, how could they be the same?" "Who are you?" Dao Feng questioned because his entire life was about blade dao. Now that Mo Wuji simplified everything, Dao Feng started to hold the same view as Mo Wuji because Mo Wuji¡¯s words merely expanded his horizon. However, the words of this sesame robe man seemed so blurry and even though it was his previous understanding, Dao Feng was slightly loss. "Great Sword Path¡¯s Huang Sha," The sesame robe man walked closer to Mo Wuji before coming to a halt. While he was answering Dao Feng, he looked at Mo Wuji instead. Mo Wuji replied faintly, "Are you here to avenge your Master Sa Jian?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wait for Huang Sha¡¯s reply as he looked at Dao Feng and said, "Brother Dao, this man is better than you at being pretentious. If you were to wear this sesame coloured robe and shoes, your level of pretentious will increase too. Your yellow...robe is simply too indecent. I suggest that you go back and learn from this pretentious fella." Dao Feng didn¡¯t understand why he needed to be pretentious but upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s suggestion, he answered instantly, "Brother Mo is right and I will definitely get it change when I go back." To him, everything else was not important in front of his blade dao. The reason why he was wearing a yellow robe was because he casually bought it but not because he chose it specifically. Mo Wuji¡¯s previous words were all logical and he was extremely honest so he didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji was lying to him. Every minute changes would affect his sacred art and this was something that he agreed. Huang Sha didn¡¯t bother about Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude as he said calmly, "You are right but also wrong. You are right because I am indeed here to avenge my master. You are wrong because I suddenly had an important thing to do which is to guide you on what is sword dao. Don¡¯t ever put any rubbish dao on the same level as the sword dao. The sword dao is the best dao with no equals." "Hahahaha! You are really making me laugh," Yet another voice could be heard and a slightly taller man walked over. Even before he appeared, his laughter could be heard and when he came closer, he pointed at Huang Sha and laughed out loud, "Huang Sha, your Great Path Sword must be really proud of yourself right? An Immortal Reverent actually challenged an Immortal King, no, Pill Master Mo should not be in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage yet right? An Immortal Reverent actually challenged a Grand Zhi Immortal, how shameless!" The most attractive part about this man was his pair of purple eyes. "I am not here to challenge him, I am here to kill him," Huang Sha finished speaking and his sheathless sword landed on his hand. Following which, he didn¡¯t even glance at the purple eye man before taking a few steps towards Mo Wuji. Chapter 649: The Oppressive Immortal Sealing Array Chapter 649: The Oppressive Immortal Sealing Array Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Da Huang took a step forward to stand beside Mo Wuji. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to endure an attack from an Immortal Reverent in the state that he was in. Even if he was an irritating Immortal Reverent, he was still an Immortal Reverent while Mo Wuji was only a Grand Zhi Immortal. Furthermore, was Huang Sha an average Immortal Reverent? He had just ascended to the Immortal World and managed to kill 317 geniuses in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji looked cautiously at the approaching Huang Sha and he was ready to escape once he attacked. The Great Sword Path was a peak grade sect so they should be able to find out about Da Huang¡¯s strength and that Sa Jian was killed by Da Huang. One must know that Sa Jian¡¯s cultivation level was much higher than Huang Sha as he was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage yet he still died. Mo Wuji was unable to kill Sa Jian and it was known that Zhuo Pingan was busy with the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s expert, Da Huang was the only possible one to have killed Sa Jian. Since the Great Sword Path was aware of this, Huang Sha must be aware too. And if Huang Sha was aware of this and was still daring enough to approach Mo Wuji with Da Huang by his side, he must have had a secret plan to deal with both Mo Wuji and Da Huang. Therefore, Mo Wuji was prepared that the moment Da Huang was restrained by Huang Sha, he would escape to as far away as he could. He might not be stronger than Huang Sha but in terms of escaping, he wasn¡¯t afraid of being caught. His wind escape technique was close to the Wind Teleportation Stage so as long as there was wind in the surrounding, he would be able to escape quietly. This was much stealthier than the spatial teleportation because there would be spatial movements during the execution of spatial teleportation. However, for the Wind Teleportation, it made use of wind and after a few seconds, any traces left behind would be blown away by the wind. Huang Sha walked a few steps but didn¡¯t attack as he simply stared coldly at the purple eye man, "Ling Lunan, are you sure that you want to help Mo Wuji and go against my Great Sword Path? Could this be the intention of your Gods Immortal Sect?" The purple eye man, who was addressed as Ling Lunan, chuckled before saying, "Huang Sha, don¡¯t exaggerate this matter however you wish. I, Ling Lunan, am just not used to seeing an Immortal Reverent acting against a Grand Zhi Immortal. This is my own choice and it has nothing to do with my sect. You, Huang Sha, only have such tactics? To bring up the sects whenever you like? I¡¯ve seen too many people like you." "Very good," Huang Sha gave Ling Lunan a final glance before leaving even without looking at Mo Wuji. To Huang Sha, despite having just advanced into the Immortal Reverent Stage, he was still capable of killing Ling Lunan who was in the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage. The pity was that he couldn¡¯t kill Ling Lunan in a place like this. As for Mo Wuji, Ling Lunan might have saved him this time round, Huang Sha would still kill him in the later days. "Brother Mo, thank you for your guidance. I, Dao Feng, shall make my move first," Dao Feng was still extremely grateful for Mo Wuji¡¯s teachings. Qing Ruoyue also came forward to bid her goodbye to Mo Wuji before heading off with Dao Feng. After the few of them left, Mo Wuji came forward and clasped his fists towards Ling Lunan before saying, "Many thanks Immortal Ling for your assistance." After Mo Wuji heard that Ling Lunan was from the Gods Immortal Sect, he instantly realised that Ling Lunan came to his rescue evidently for the Universal Peak Token. Indeed, Ling Lunan clasped his fists back towards Mo Wuji, "Immortal Friend Mo, I actually came to request for your help. I guess that you must have predicted that Nai He is my junior sister and we are all disciples of the Gods Immortal Sect." "Is it for the Universal Peak Token?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother beating around the bush. Ling Lunan nodded, "Yes it is indeed for the Universal Peak Token." Mo Wuji said apologetically, "I am truly sorry because I cannot give you this Universal Peak Token." Ling Lunan hurried to say, "I do not need you to give it to me as I only need you to take it out. As long as you take out the token, it would show the entire map of the Gods Tower. I am not intending to go up and it is practically not possible for me to head down so I only need to go somewhere on this level. As long as you can bring me there, I wouldn¡¯t need the Universal Peak Token." "Where?" Mo Wuji asked. "Immortal Sealing Array," Ling Lunan said excitedly as he looked enthusiastically at Mo Wuji with the hope that Mo Wuji would not reject him. Mo Wuji was shocked and wondered if Ling Lunan already found out that he was heading there too? However, it didn¡¯t seem that way from Ling Lunan¡¯s expression. "I am also intending to go to the Immortal Sealing Array and since this is the case, we shall head there together," Mo Wuji replied truthfully. "Such a coincidence? A trace of suspicion flashed across Ling Lunan¡¯s eyes but he hurried to say pleasingly, "Many thanks Immortal Friend Mo, we have to hurry because there is less than two months before the closure of the Gods Tower. Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask when the Gods Tower would be closing, he didn¡¯t expect that Ling Lunan took the initiative to tell him that. "Immortal Friend Ling, can I ask if there were a lot of people going above the 18th level every time when the Gods Tower opened?" Before entering the Gods Tower, Mo Wuji knew nothing except for his task, a Immortal Seeking Token and a Universal Peak Token. Now that Ling Lunan had already considered Mo Wuji to be his ally, he chose to be completely honest with him as he replied, "Not that I¡¯ve heard of. Rumours spread that it was impossible to enter the 19th level and even if you managed to do so, it would be impossible to take anything from there. Try imagining, since almost no one had entered the 19th level before, the killing intent shrouding the area must be incredibly strong so it would be impossible to retrieve any of the treasures there. As for the first 18 levels, because so many people had been through it before, the killing intent were not as strong which was why it was so much easier to pick things up at sight." Mo Wuji asked again, "Since this was the case, wouldn¡¯t the items in the 18 levels keep getting lesser?" Ling Lunan shook his head, "It is not like that because from the bottom to the top of the Gods Tower, the area of each level would get smaller and smaller but the highest level would still be immensely boundless. Even though I¡¯ve reached the 18th level, I have only travelled a small portion of every level on my way up. Therefore, no matter how many times the Gods Tower had been opened before, there would be places which no one had been to before. Taking this 18th level for example, no matter how many times this Gods Tower was opened, there would be countless of places on this level which people had yet to set foot on. This was also why a majority of those who entered the Gods Tower would be lucky enough to obtain a treasure of an ancient expert." Mo Wuji recalled the 36th level¡¯s sea and if he were to search the entire sea, he would need more than a few hundred years to do so. However, the 36th level was indeed the level with the smallest surface area. Seemed like Ling Lunan¡¯s words were true. "Immortal Friend Ling, let¡¯s get moving then," Mo Wuji drew out his flying shuttle and left for another direction immediately. Ling Lunan hurried to get his flying treasure and followed closely behind Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji and Ling Lunan left, a silhouette appeared tens of metres away from them and this person was Huang Sha. Huang Sha stared calmly at the direction at which Mo Wuji disappeared to and left in the other direction only after a while. It would only be disadvantageous for him to follow behind Mo Wuji if Ling Lunan was with him. The Gods Tower would only be opened for two more months so he wanted to see where Mo Wuji would run to. As long as it was someone he, Huang Sha, locked on, the person could forget about escaping from his clutches. As for that Ling Lunan, he wouldn¡¯t be spared too. ¡­ Two days later, Mo Wuji and Ling Lunan finally came to a halt after countless of turns. The two of them stared shockingly at the space in front of them without saying anything. Despite having cultivated to the Immortal Reverent Stage, even Ling Lunan had never seen such majestic energy in the space. The space in front of them seemed like it was solidified as it brought along densely oppressive energy. Even if they had yet to approach it, they could feel the difficulty in breathing. Standing within a space like this, everything seemed to be bounded whether it was their spiritual will, immortal energy or even their train of thoughts. If there was still a word that could describe how the duo were currently feeling, it would be ¡®tiny¡¯. This was the first time they felt so tiny, so tiny when facing this piece of space in front of them. Two massive swords which hilts couldn¡¯t be seen was inserted in front of them as the majestic energy and their oppressive feeling seemed to be brought along by these two massive swords. The distance between the two massively wide swords was about a thousand feet and it was just like two babel swords rooted onto the ground. There was a faint, foggy energy between the swords as the fogs formed a faint word on the swords: Seal. "What a mighty Immortal Sealing Array," Mo Wuji muttered to himself. This two swords should be the array base of this Immortal Sealing Array so how could he save someone from such a massive array? What a joke, he, Mo Wuji, didn¡¯t have such capabilities. "Master had got it wrong¡­" Ling Lunan was also muttering to himself. "You¡¯re here to rescue someone too?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to approach because with his pitiful cultivation level, it would be decent enough for him to approach that safely let alone, rescuing someone. Ling Lunan regained his composure before looking back at Mo Wuji as he clasped his fist, "Yes indeed Immortal Friend Mo. My senior sister was trapped within this Immortal Sealing Array and my master believed that I could save her as long as I found the Immortal Sealing Array. However, it seemed like I wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the Immortal Sealing Array without the Immortal Seeking Token." "We can enter the Immortal Sealing Array with the Immortal Seeking Token?" Even though Mo Wuji had two tokens with him, he had no idea what were the uses of it. "I¡¯ve heard that the original name of the Immortal Seeking Token was the Immortal Unsealing Token and it was forged out by an expert from within the Immortal Sealing Array. He was trapped by the Immortal Sealing Array but was still able to forge out the Immortal Unsealing Token¡­" "Hold on!" Mo Wuji interrupted Ling Lunan¡¯s words, "Immortal Friend Ling, even that expert was trapped in the Immortal Sealing Array but the Immortal Unsealing Token that he forged could rescue people?" Ling Lunan was also slightly loss as he replied, "I am also not too sure because the news that my master received was not very complete. All I know was that the Immortal Seeking Token is forged by someone from within the Immortal Sealing Array and that the Immortal Seeking Token was brought to the cultivation world by an expert called Ji Feiqian. The truth was that without the Universal Peak Token, no one else would be able to locate the Immortal Sealing Array. Mo Wuji nodded because when he received the Immortal Seeking Token, he did heard that it was left behind by a person called Ji Feiqian. "Immortal Friend Ling, how much do you know about Ji Feiqian?" Mo Wuji questioned. Ling Lunan was completely honest, "Ji Feiqian was a peak grade expert and back then, he didn¡¯t only obtain the Immortal Seeking Token but also the Universal Staircase in the Gods Tower. However, after being severely wounded, he brought the Universal Staircase to the cultivation world. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but asked once more, "Immortal Friend Ling, I still have two questions for you. The first is how did your master know about this? And the second is that according to what I¡¯ve heard, Ji Feiqian obtained the Heaven Seeking Staircase and not the Universal Staircase so did I get it wrong or are you wrong?" Mo Wuji knew that he couldn¡¯t have gotten it wrong because it was Ji Feiqian himself who said that he managed to pick this Heaven Seeking Staircase up. Chapter 650: The Origins Of The White Whiskered Fisherman Chapter 650: The Origins Of The White Whiskered Fisherman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ling Lunan shook his head, "Regarding the second question, you are definitely the one that is wrong. Ji Feiqian obtained the Universal Staircase, not some Heaven Seeking Staircase. The reason why I know about it is related to your first question. Back when Ji Feiqian escaped, there was another person with him; that person is my Gods Immortal Sect¡¯s founding ancestor. Back then, the place that Ji Feiqian and my Gods Immortal Sect founding ancestor escaped to is where my Gods Immortal Sect stands today. Thereafter, Ji Feiqian used some secret method to leave the Immortal World. He said that he was from Zhen Xing; so he wanted to return to his roots. On the other hand, my founding ancestor established the Gods Immortal Sect. Then, the Gods Tower opened once more. My founding ancestor entered the Gods Tower once more; thereafter, there was no longer any news about him." "You want to save your Gods Immortal Sect¡¯s founding ancestor?" Mo Wuji asked in doubt. "No," Ling Lunan answered, "I¡¯m here to save my ancestor. After the Immortal World stabilised and divided to form the various Immortal Domains, my ancestor also entered the Gods Tower. Because my ancestor was from the same bloodline as the founding ancestor, he was able to obtain a part of the location of the immortal sealing array. He went to search for my founding ancestor, but there was also no further news from him." "Then how do you know that your ancestor is also trapped in the immortal sealing array?" Mo Wuji asked. This time, Ling Lunan didn¡¯t answer. Clearly, this involved some secrets of his sect. Mo Wuji did not mind either. Instead, he brought his Immortal Seeking Token out and asked, "Immortal Friend Ling, do you know what is the function of the Universal Staircase?" Out of Mo Wuji¡¯s expectations, Ling Lunan nodded, "I know a bit of it. It¡¯s said that the Universal Staircase is a ranking board. No matter what world or domain it appears in, it would be that world¡¯s number one ranking board. Moreover, it¡¯s rumoured that if you reach the 36th level of Gods Tower, you could borrow the Universal Staircase to refine the stone tablet of Gods Tower." Mo Wuji jolted; could it be that he was still not at the 36th level? Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s astonishment, Ling Lunan thought that Mo Wuji was regretting that he didn¡¯t refine the Universal Staircase. He explained, "Back when you discovered the Universal Staircase, your cultivation wouldn¡¯t have been high enough to refine the Universal Staircase. You probably wouldn¡¯t have even be able to do anything about it, so there¡¯s no need for you to feel so disappointed. Let¡¯s take a step back, even if you refined the Universal Staircase, you wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the 36th level of Gods Tower." "That means that the Universal Peak Token that I have is not from the Gods Tower?" Mo Wuji started examining his Universal Peak Token. It seemed to contain the boundless starry space. "No. According to what I¡¯ve heard, the Universal Peak Token and the Universal Staircase were brought here by an expert that took part in the War of the Gods. After that expert died, the Universal Staircase was picked up by Ji Feiqian. As for the Universal Peak Token, if the Universal Staircase gets brought to a different world and stabilises, your Universal Peak Token will disappear and return back to the Universal Staircase. The Universal Staircase will then become the number one ranking board of that new world." Ling Lunan was clearly more knowledgeable than Mo Wuji regarding this matter. "But the Universal Peak Token is able to reflect the situation at each level of Gods Tower?" Mo Wuji said; he really didn¡¯t believe that the Universal Peak Token was not related to Gods Tower. Ling Lunan smiled slightly, "Actually, every time the Universal Staircase comes to a certain world, the Universal Peak Token would contain the perfect positions and bearings within that world. Otherwise, how could it become the number one board?" So it¡¯s like that. Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved a positioning ball and inscribed the positions of the different levels of the Gods Tower. If his Universal Peak Token were to suddenly disappear, he would, at the very least, still be able to find his way around. Waiting for Mo Wuji to translate the Universal Peak Token to a positioning ball, Ling Lunan said, "Brother Mo, why don¡¯t we enter this immortal sealing array?" Mo Wuji was slightly hesitatant. He made an agreement with that elderly fisherman; that is, he would help when he had the capabilities to do so. But this immortal sealing array was releasing such a daunting and boundless pressure; would he be able to escape if he entered? Seemingly seeing through Mo Wuji¡¯s hesitation, Ling Lunan clasped his fists and said, "Immortal Friend Mo, if you don¡¯t want to enter, you can stay here and wait for me. Give this Immortal Seeking Token to me, and when I return, I will definitely return it to Pill Master Mo." Mo Wuji, who was still hesitating, said, "It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s go in together." He did agree with the white-whiskered old man that he would do it when he had the capability. He did have the ability; at the very least, the dangers hadn¡¯t appeared. The moment there was any danger, he could simply retreat. If he were to not enter simply because he was afraid, then he would be infringing on the agreement. "Good." Ling Lunan stepped into the space between those two longswords. Mo Wuji also walked in, holding his Immortal Seeking Token. A suffocating pressure immediately enveloped him. Mo Wuji was not able to breath. This wasn¡¯t a simple lack of oxygen; he wasn;t even able to activate the spiritual energy within his body. If he spent too much time here, even an immortal would die of asphyxiation. Even though Ling Lunan¡¯s cultivation was much higher than Mo Wuji¡¯s, his face also changed drastically. Outside the immortal sealing array, they could only feel the pressure within. But now that they had actually entered the array, that pressure had become suffocating. He hurriedly retrieved a talisman and pasted it on his own body. At the same time, he brought out a huge cauldron. The huge cauldron emitted an grand and terrifying energy; it seemed to create an independent space of its own, blocking the pressure around them. Even Mo Wuji felt much better. Actually, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care too much about the suffocating pressure. He had the breath scattering channel; no matter how heavy the pressure was, he would not suffocate as long as he had the breath scattering channel. However, he was really shocked by this huge cauldron of Ling Lunan; this was definitely a treasure that was even more powerful than his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. The cauldron¡¯s aura was grand and oppressive; he only needed one look to tell that it was better than a Grade 9 immortal equipment; it was a true ancient treasure. Indeed, he could not underestimate others. Previously, Mo Wuji thought that with Da Huang by his side, he would be able to suppress Ling Lunan if they were to have any sudden conflicts. However, now that he saw Ling Lunan¡¯s treasure, he knew that it clearly wouldn¡¯t be the case. This treasure, which exceeded Grade 9, when used properly, would be equivalent to a turtle shell. Da Huang probably wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything about it. If Da Huang was a true Grand Immortal Emperor, then it wouldn¡¯t really better. However, Da Huang was an immortal puppet that depended on his green crystals. If it used too much energy, it would eventually become useless. His cultivation was much lower than Ling Lunan. If Da Huang was out of the picture, then he could only wait for death in front of Ling Lunan. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t wait for Da Huang to run out of energy before he escaped. Looking at this huge cauldron, Mo Wuji was reminded of Huang Sha. Huang Sha dared to deal with him; so he should also have a treasure that was similar to this cauldron which could pin Da Huang down. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; indeed, any form of external power was akin to fleeting clouds. "This treasure was left behind by my ancestor. Actually, it was also the treasure of my Gods Immortal Sect¡¯s founding ancestor. It should be enough to protect us." Seemingly feeling Mo Wuji¡¯s shock, Ling Lunan laughed and explained. Mo Wuji also laughed, "Previously, I saw that Huang Sha had killing intent towards you, and I even wanted to warn you about him. From the looks of it, I am merely a frog in a well." Ling Lunan thanked Mo Wuji, then he added, "I was waiting for him. I know that Huang Sha is very impressive, and he had killed many other geniuses at the same level. But if he dares to have any malicious intents towards my Gods Immortal Sect, he is still lacking. It¡¯s okay if he doesn¡¯t come and find trouble, but if he does, I will make sure that he regrets it." Clearly, Ling Lunan also knew of Huang Sha¡¯s murderous intents towards himself. It was just that he was too lazy to care about it. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart shuddered. Indeed, no one was a fool. What differed between them was merely their methods. Because of the cauldron¡¯s protection, the surrounding pressure eased significantly. Mo Wuji and Ling Lunan then turned to the Immortal Seeking Token. As expected, a crack appeared on the Immortal Seeking Token. It was like an outer coating had been scraped off; rows of minute words appeared on the Immortal Seeking Token. "I am Ji Feiqian, a cultivator from Zhen Xing. During the War of the Gods in Gods Tower, I was fortunate enough to escape with my life, and I even managed to obtain the Universal Staircase. I have brought the Universal Staircase to Zhen Xing, and I believe that after some time, it would become the number one board in Zhen Xing. At the same time, I have placed the Immortal Seeking Token on the replica Heaven Seeking Staircase. Since you were able to get here, you should have already seen my equipment spirit, White Whiskers¡­" When Mo Wuji saw this, he finally came to understand that the Heaven Seeking Staircase was merely a replica. At the same time, he was rendered speechless by the white whiskered fisherman; he was actually an equipment spirit. What was even more shocking was the the Gods Tower was a battlefield of ancient gods. "When you stepped on top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase, White Whiskers should have given you the techniques and some items that you could only dream off¡­" "What bullsh*t!" Mo Wuji could not help but curse out loud. Ji Feiqian had clearly gave that equipment spirit instructions to give some benefits to the person that reached the top of the Heaven Seeking Staircase. Not only didn¡¯t that old man not give him anything, he needed to barter with that old man for some help. This equipment spirit was clearly a greedy old man. In reality, Mo Wuji was really wronging that equipment spirit. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to give anything to Mo Wuji, but it was because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any spiritual roots. To the white whiskered fisherman, giving Ji Feiqian¡¯s items to Mo Wuji would be wasting those treasures. Since that¡¯s the case, he decided to have two separate plans. The first plan was to let Mo Wuji come. The second plan was to leave Ji Feiqian¡¯s items to another person. If Mo Wuji failed, at least there would still be a strand of hope. As for Mo Wuji¡¯s interests, naturally that equipment spirit wouldn¡¯t give two sh*ts about that. "Even though I am asking too much, since you are here, this Ji would like to request you to save my daughter, Ji Li. My daughter, Ji Li, is also within the immortal sealing array. Her cultivation is higher than mine; so as long as these words could still be seen, she should be fine¡­" Mo Wuji was slightly at a loss. He did come to save Ji Li, but he didn¡¯t really have the confidence against this array. "I have heard of Senior Ji Li before. She¡¯s also in this immortal sealing array. Brother Mo, since you¡¯re here to save Senior Ji Li, then we are on the same side." After seeing all this, Ling Lunan came to understand that Mo Wuji was indeed here to rescue someone. Chapter 651: The Directing Senior Chapter 651: The Directing Senior Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Crack!" Just as Ling Lunan finished saying that sentence, Mo Wuji''s token transformed into a pure white pearl; the true Immortal Seeking Token had emerged. An arrow was pointing in a particular direction. As Mo Wuji held the pearl in his hand, he could clearly feel the spiritual will contained within the pearl. "The direction to walk has appeared. Let''s hurry; the immortal sealing array is very big so we might have to take a very long time," Ling Lunan immediately said with glee when he saw the arrow on the Immortal Seeking Token. After saying that, Ling Lunan observed that Mo Wuji still staring at the white pearl; so he promptly added, "That¡¯s a bloodline seeking pearl; that arrow might pass by Senior Ji Li''s location, but it might not necessarily reflect it. The moment the colour of the bloodline seeking pearl changes, it would mean that a cultivator with the same bloodline as Senior Ji Feiqian is nearby." "That means you have one too?" Mo Wuji asked. Ling Lunan shook his head, "I don''t. However, this cauldron of mine was previously refined by my ancestor. As long as I''m near, this cauldron would have some form of resonance. If Brother Mo doesn''t mind, I would suggest that you keep your immortal puppet." Mo Wuji nodded his head in agreement and kept Da Huang. In a place like this, even if he was any stronger, he wouldn''t be able to break through this array. They had to depend on the direction on the Immortal Seeking Token, and if they were to ever get trapped, even a hundred immortal puppets wouldn''t be enough to help them. Within the immortal sealing array, it was simply a patch of blur. Mo Wuji and Ling Lunan couldn''t see their feet clearly, and they weren''t even able to spread their spiritual will outwards. The only thing they could do was to follow according to the arrow on the Immortal Seeking Token. Mo Wuji did not release his spiritual eye. Even if he was able to see his immediate surroundings, he wouldn''t be able to break through this array. His spiritual eye was one of his hidden cards; unless it was necessary, he wasn''t going to use it in front of Ling Lunan. It was just as Ling Lunan had said: the immortal sealing array seemed to be vast and boundless. The two followed the arrow for over ten days but they were still facing a blur with no end in sight. They still weren''t able to discern their location, nor did they discover anything. "Immortal Friend Ling, if the time of the Gods Tower ends and we have yet to leave the immortal sealing array, then would we be trapped here?" Mo Wuji asked abruptly. Ling Lunan went blank; he hadn''t considered that question. Under normal circumstances, no matter where a person was in the Gods Tower, he would be transported out when the Gods Tower closes. However, they were in the immortal sealing array. Many experts were trapped here. If these experts weren''t able to leave, then why would they be able to do so? Before Ling Lunan could answer, a terrifying force slammed against the exterior of the cauldron. Ripples appeared on the defenses of the cauldron and some killing intent seeped in. A trail of blood seeped out of the corner of Mo Wuji''s mouth. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had already landed on his page of the Book of Luo. From the looks of it, it wasn''t completely safe in this immortal sealing array. Because Ling Lunan was the one controlling the cauldron, when the killing intent invaded, blood also dripped out of his mouth. He hurriedly swallowed a healing pill and said, "Brother Mo, there''s no need to worry. This killing intent didn''t originate from the immortal sealing array. Instead, it was emitted by the experts trapped within the array. Because they are sealing in this array, they have been constantly roiling and releasing killing intent. This sort of killing intent definitely wouldn''t¡­" "Boom!" Before Ling Lunan could even finish his words, another force of killing intent crashed against the cauldron. This time, Ling Lunan directly coughed out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was almost sent flying. Mo Wuji hurriedly extended his hand to grab Ling Lunan and helped Ling Lunan to stabilize. When Ling Lunan finally settled down, he said with hints of lingering fear, "Brother Mo, many thanks." His cultivation was higher than Mo Wuji, but what kind of place was this? It was the immortal sealing array. If he were to be brought into the depths of the immortal sealing array without the direction from the Immortal Seeking Token, then an intermediate stage Immortal Reverent like him would still die. "Brother Ling, something''s not right here. Let''s hurry and leave¡­" As Mo Wuji finished speaking, he directly charged away from their location. He was already veering off the direction from the Immortal Seeking Token. It wasn''t because he wanted to do it, but the intense threat of death was simply too overwhelming. It was to the point that even his bones were trembling; Mo Wuji really didn''t dare to continue staying there. Ling Lunan also felt the same danger. However, he was slower by a single step. Before he could reach Mo Wuji, multiple forces of killing intent slammed over. He had an Immortal Reverent cultivation; with such a cultivation, it was indeed possible for him to go unhindered as he walked around the Immortal World. But in the immortal sealing array, his cultivation was not much different from Mo Wuji¡¯s: they were the lowest among the low. "Psssh¡­" When the killing intent struck against the cauldron, it released a peculiar sound. Even though that cauldron had already been completely refined by Ling Lunan, he was still unable to fully control it. The huge cauldron was directly smashed flying. Thereafter, another force of killing intent surged over, sweeping Ling Lunan into the depths of the immortal sealing array. Mo Wuji had already retrieved his Book of Luo. Even though he didn¡¯t witness the scene of Ling Lunan being swept away, he knew that things definitely didn¡¯t bode well for Ling Lunan. Ling Lunan¡¯s cultivation was much stronger than him, and Ling Lunan also had a much greater understanding of the immortal sealing array. However, even Ling Lunan wasn¡¯t able to endure the forces within the array. Then how was he, Mo Wuji, going ot be able to save that Ji Li? Moreover, that equipment spirit did not follow the instructions of his master; it actually didn¡¯t give Mo Wuji the things that were meant for him. Mo Wuji had already done his part by getting to this stage. Now, what he wanted to do was to get out of here. Mo Wuji did not know where he was, and even though his Immortal Seeking Token was still indicating the direction, he did not dare to follow it. He had activated his Book of Luo to envelope himself; so that he could protect himself from any sudden killing intent. After calming himself down, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye. Indeed, his spiritual eye was able to see the surroundings within a few tens of meters in radius. Beneath his feet, was some dark brown soil. Mo Wuji tried trampling it and he discovered that it was incomparably hard. Roughly seven meters on his left, there was a huge rock. There was a broken sword stabbed into that rock. Four to five meters in front of him, there was a dried up pond; within that pond, there was the skeleton of some peculiar fish. On the right, there was nothing; it was very empty. Behind him, there were some piles of shattered rocks; they seemed to be arranged in a particular order. How peculiar. Mo Wuji did not cultivate the Sword Dao, but he could clearly feel the terrifying sword intent within that broken sword. If he were to walk in that direction, he might very likely trigger that sword intent and directly get ripped apart. Just when Mo Wuji was contemplating on what direction he could take, a warm voice suddenly sounded beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear, "Young man, since you are able to come here, you must have my immortal unsealing token." "Who are you?" Mo Wuji suddenly lifted his head as he stared warily at the empty space on his right. It sounded like that voice was from his right. "Who I am isn¡¯t important. The important thing that the token in your hands is forged by me. If you want to go out, you need my help. One more thing, when speaking to your senior, you need to show respect and use the proper address," That voice said calmly and steadily. So the Immortal Seeking Token was forged by this fella. [1] Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know who this person was, or where he was even at, Mo Wuji still asked calmly, "It¡¯s true that one must be respectful to seniors. However, I almost died because of this immortal unsealing token, and it¡¯s unknown whether my companion is dead or alive. I think that it¡¯s more likely that it¡¯s the former, and it is because of your immortal unsealing token." A sigh could be heard, "Ai, I can¡¯t ask too much of people from the lower realm. Your cultivations are just too low. To think that you would be unable to defend against some remnant killing intent; I also don¡¯t know whether it was wrong for me to have led you here. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart; this was remnant killing intent? He had came down 36 floors and he knew what remnant killing intent was, and that wasn¡¯t remnant killing intent. Remnant killing intent would only come occasionally; it wouldn¡¯t be continuously emitted. Just now, that killing intent seemed to come in saves, as though it was specifically targeting Ling Lunan. Otherwise, with the protection of his huge cauldron, any remnant killing intent wouldn¡¯t have swept Ling Lunan into the depths of the immortal sealing array. "Senior, please direct me," Mo Wuji said sincerely. Since the immortal unsealing token was forged by this fella, Mo Wuji¡¯s way out would also be in him. "En." That voice seemed to acknowledge Mo Wuji¡¯s respect. After a brief moment of silence, it said, "In front of your, there¡¯s a pond. Within the pond, there is a green piece of stone. Get that green stone for me. That green stone is an incredibly valuable smithing material; the array disc that I will create cannot lack it." Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and looked at that pond. In the center of that pond, there was still that terrifying set of fish bones. It did not seem to follow any rules as the bones poked out in all the different directions. Moreover, Mo Wuji could feel that those fish bones were rather peculiar. If he were to get stabbed by those bones, he might actually die. As for the green stone, Mo Wuji definitely didn¡¯t see it. Seeing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t move after some time, that voice said, "There¡¯s no need for you to worry. At the very least, there¡¯s no danger in front of you. Killing intent very rarely comes to where you are currently at." These words that were meant to comfort Mo Wuji; actually left Mo Wuji feeling a tinge of anxiety. Just because killing intent rarely comes, it did not mean that it would never come. Mo Wuji carefully took a few steps forward, then he asked, "Senior, is there any danger in that pond?" The voice chuckled, "The immortal sealing array isn¡¯t as impressive as the stories make it out to be. The only impressive things about the immortal sealing array are the two sword array foundations outside. In that pond, there¡¯s nothing else besides that green stone. There¡¯s no need for you to worry." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief; this fellas was indeed unable to see his spiritual eye. That meant that this fella knew that he was there, but this fella didn¡¯t know what Mo Wuji could do, nor see what Mo Wuji was doing. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have lied without batting an eye. There was clearly a set of fish bones in the pond but he actually claimed otherwise. Even though he knew that this fella was lying, Mo Wuji still walked to the edge of the pond. Besides the set of fish bones, everything else was as the voice had said: it was just an ordinary looking pond. "Senior, I¡¯ve just reached the edge of the pond. I will be going down now." Mo Wuji hollered. The voice in the dark sounded once more, "Go in then. Bring that green stone out. Ai, what a pity that you don¡¯t have any treasures similar to the green stone. I might not actually be able to forge the array disc even with this green stone¡­" Even though it sounded calm, Mo Wuji could feel a tinge of excitement in the voice. "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji shrieked, "Senior, I seem to have been stabbed by fish bones¡­" [1] Ok, from how I understand this, Ji Feiqian forged the replica of the Universal Staircase, the Heaven Seeking Staircase. There, he placed the Immortal Seeking Token. It was unknown in 650 whether Ji Feiqian was the one that created that token, but it seems like it¡¯s this senior was the actual one. Chapter 652: The Immortal Lattice Stones Chapter 652: The Immortal Lattice Stones Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What''s the matter? Wasn''t there supposed to be a green stone inside? How did it become a fish bone?" The voice in Mo Wuji''s ear paused briefly before transmitting this message. Mo Wuji was constantly paying attention to this voice. The moment he noticed that pause, he knew that the other party seemed to have found some problems with his words. "Senior, even though I was pricked, I wasn''t injured. My defensive treasure managed to block it off for me. Right, I do see a green piece of stone, it''s under the fish bones¡­" Mo Wuji added. This time, Mo Wuji did, indeed, see a green stone below the fish bones. It was unknown how long the green stone had been left there for, but it was still glowing with a faint, green luster. It should be some good stuff. Besides this green stone, there also seems to be a human corpse. To maintain such a complete corpse so long after his death, it could clearly be seem that this person was also a powerhouse back when he was alive. The hidden voice went silent; Mo Wuji didn''t speak either. Mo Wuji was calmly looking at his surroundings with his spiritual eye. At the same time, he placed Da Huang by his side, preparing for a fight at any moment. Even if he wouldn''t be able to put up much of a fight, he still wanted to offer some resistance before he dies. After some time, that voice sighed, "I also don''t really understand what''s going on. Carefully, bring that green stone out from underneath the fish bones. Remember not to get pricked by the fish bones." "Alright." Mo Wuji directly transmitted a message to Da Huang, indicating for Da Huang to get the green stone according to his instructions. Da Huang could not see the green stone, but Mo Wuji could act as its eyes. Da Huang did not hesitate; the moment Mo Wuji gave it the order, it immediately jumped into the pond. However, the moment it went over the pond, it was as though a powerful force had sucked him in. He was stabbed strongly by the fish bones. Even though Da Huang was a Grand Emperor level immortal puppet, and this fish seemed to have died for ages, the fish bone was still able to pierce through Da Huang easily, leaving Da Huang impaled on the bone. "What''s the matter?" The disturbance caused by Da Huang was too big. The voice sounded out once more, this time, with greater emotion. A faint white light rose from the fish bones, seemingly trying to suck something out of Da Huang. Unfortunately, after sucking for close to half a day, it did not seem to get what it wanted. Mo Wuji had an unsightly expression on his face; he was sure that there was something wrong with this pond. Otherwise, with Da Huang''s power and his instructions, Da Huang definitely wouldn''t have been impaled by the fish bones. That voice that was giving him instructions was definitely insidious. "Nothing much. I was stabbed again. Fortunately, my defensive treasure was able to help me once more." Mo Wuji''s tone seemed to be anxious and discontent. He could see that Da Huang did not seem to be able to move. "Come up first then." That voice seemed to sigh. Mo Wuji instructed for Da Huang to retrieve that green stone the moment it could escape. As expected, the moment that the voice spoke, Da Huang was able to easily climb out of the fish bone. It followed according to Mo Wuji''s instructions: the instant it sprang out of the pond, it grabbed the green stone. A cold snort could be heard. Immediately, Mo Wuji felt shivers throughout his entire body. Fortunately, Da Huang was already out of the pond with the green stone. Mo Wuji hurriedly retreated with Da Huang, then he used the Book of Luo to protect Da Huang and himself. At the same time, his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will penetrated into that green stone. The green stone was filled with all sorts of complex runes; Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was completely unable to resolve those runes. "Did you take the green stone?" The voice suddenly asked. Mo Wuji calmly kept the green stone, then he blatantly lied, "No. That green stone was too hard to take." He believed that the other party knew that he had already taken the green stone. He also believed that, at this instant, the other party also knew that he could see whatever was in the pond. However, he wasn''t simply going to confess. As expected, after a short pause, that voice suddenly said, "Young man, you''re very smart and cautious. If I''m not wrong, you should possess eyes which could see through everything, right?" Mo Wuji didn''t answer. All this wasn''t related to him being able to leave this place; so there was no need for him to reply. "Very good, young man. Previously, it was my, Yu Minjiang¡¯s, fault. I should not have lied to you. Now, let''s make a deal. Return that green stone back to the pond and I will guide you out," The voice that identified itself as Yu Minjiang said slowly. While Mo Wuji didn''t really understand such a complex array, he was someone who knew a bit about arrays. At this instant, he could already faintly see that there should be various arrays in that pond. That fish bone was very likely able to absorb blood. Unfortunately for it, Da Huang was merely a puppet that did not have a single drop of blood to be sucked. The green stone had already been placed into his ring. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that this thing wasn''t simple; he wasn''t going to simply return it back to the pond. Moreover, he did not believe that this voice would be so kind as to guide him out. He held his Immortal Seeking Token and asked, "You really forged this?" "That''s right. I was indeed the one that forged that token, and it allows you to walk in and out of the immortal sealing array," Yu Minjiang said solemnly, his tone was neither urgent nor anxious. It was unknown whether Mo Wuji was simply over thinking, but he actually felt a hint of anxiety in this Yu Minjiang''s voice; he was seemingly anxious that Mo Wuji hadn''t returned the green stone. "Since you can create such a token, why haven''t you left?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. "I have been stabbed by a sword, and at the same time, I have been sealed by the array flags of the immortal sealing array. How am I able to get out," That voice said helplessly. Mo Wuji suddenly turned to the huge rock on his left; that rock had been stabbed by a broken sword. "So you''re this rock." "You''re indeed able to see through the falsities here. That''s right, I am this rock. More accurately, I am trapped within the rock." This time, the voice did not seem to come from an unknown direction, but from that rock itself, "In the immortal sealing array, a rock, a grass, or even a drop of water, can be a trap. You don''t understand the immortal sealing array. If you''re not careful, you might end up like us: forever unable to get out." "So if you were to guide me, I wouldn''t fall into those traps?" Mo Wuji said calmly. "Of course," Yu Minjiang replied with pride. Mo Wuji sneered, "If you''re so amazing, then why are you trapped? Aren''t you a genius?" If not for his spiritual eye, he might really have entered the pond and have all his blood sucked out by those fish bones. Towards such a person, Mo Wuji would not behave courteously. Yu Minjiang went silent. He only spoke after some time, "Whether you believe it or not, I had been plotted by someone. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have been sealed in the immortal sealing array. If you work with me, you will definitely be able to leave. If you don''t, then it wouldn''t be of a great loss to me. The immortal sealing array would simply have another unfortunately fool to suck elemental energy out of." "First, answer a few of my questions. Then we can discuss about the cooperation." Mo Wuji did not continue behaving sarcastically towards Yu Minjiang. Instead, he said solemnly, "Firstly, is that friend of mine dead? Secondly, exactly what are those fish bones? Thirdly, what''s the purpose of you forging the Immortal Seeking Token?" This time, Yu Minjiang was very straightforward. "Firstly, the immortal sealing array is called a sealing array because it doesn''t have any killing functions. As long as your friend isn''t killed by the roaming killing intent, then he wouldn''t die. Secondly, that fish is my beast. If it obtains fresh blood, it will recover a portion of its freedom and be of help to me. Thirdly, I created the Immortal Seeking Token because I wanted people to escape. As long as someone leaves, then another person would be able to enter with the token." "Then what is the green stone?" When Mo Wuji noticed that Yu Minjiang was very straightforward with his answer, he asked another question. This time, Yu Minjiang went silent, not replying to Mo Wuji''s question. Mo Wuji guessed that he had reached the other party''s limits. He did not continue asking about the green stone, but asked, "Since that''s the case, then how should we cooperate? What do you need in order to help me get out?" Yu Minjiang only started speaking again when he heard that Mo Wuji was interested in cooperating, "Firstly, you need to return the green stone to me, or send it back to the pond. Secondly, you need to find a particular thing for me. When the Gods Tower opens again, pass the Immortal Seeking Token and that thing to another person; then get him to come here. If you swear that you would do these two tasks, I will immediately provide you with the way out." Mo Wuji said calmly, "One, I don''t return the things that already belong to me. Two, I don''t swear casually. Since you aren''t willing to work with me, then I will find my own way out." With that, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and scanned his surroundings with greater caution than before. Yu Minjiang had said it: any grass and tree could be a sealing spot in the immortal sealing array. He definitely needed to be more careful. "Alright, I agree. You don''t need to swear. As long as you can help me find the consciousness crystal of the ancient gods, then I would guide you out." When Yu Minjiang noticed that Mo Wuji was leaving, he called out urgently. Mo Wuji asked in doubt, "Consciousness crystals of the ancient gods?" "Yes, the consciousness crystals of the ancient gods. If you go to the battlefields of the ancient gods, you would be able to find some. Wait, let me give you a sample. It was brought in by another fella that entered the Gods Tower previously¡­" As he spoke, a black, murky stone landed in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will landed on the black stone. Only after verifying that it wasn''t a trap, did he pick it up. "Immortal lattice stone?" When Mo Wuji grabbed this black stone, he immediately understood what is was. It was the Half Immortal Domain''s immortal lattice stone; he had hundreds of millions of them. So this was some consciousness crystal of the ancient gods. From the looks of it, the immortal lattice stones weren''t simple. "You recognise this thing?" Yu Minjiang asked agitatedly. Mo Wuji said calmly, "This isn''t something special; it''s just an immortal lattice stone. Many Heavenly Immortals use them to condense their immortal lattice; then advance to a higher level." "Do you have any on you?" Yu Minjiang was especially excited. Mo Wuji chuckled, "I''m already a Grand Zhi Immortal. Why would I need this thing?" He definitely wasn''t going to confess that he had hundreds of millions of immortal lattice stones. Since the other party needed it urgently, then he would have to trade for it. Chapter 653: Cunning Old Man Chapter 653: Cunning Old Man Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ignorant¡­" Yu Minjiang sneered; but he quickly changed his words, "then are you able to get hold of this thing?" Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say, "I can get it¡­" Yu Minjiang responded with an ''En¡¯, then he said, "Since that''s the case, as long as you are promise that you would bring immortal lattice stones the next time Gods Tower opens, I would guide you out. Of course, you need to convince me to believe your words." Mo Wuji jolted. So simple? He doesn''t even want his green stone anymore? Could it be that this Yu Minjiang understands that he can''t negotiate on equal terms; so he lowered his conditions? Regardless what was the reason, Mo Wuji wouldn''t lose out. He responded promptly, "How about this, I will leave behind a strand of my spiritual will imprint. If I don''t come back, you can find me if you ever manage to free yourself. Alternatively, you can get others that enter the immortal sealing array to come and look for me." Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel could easily simulate any spiritual will imprint. Even if he left it behind, Yu Minjiang wouldn''t be able to locate him. Actually, even if he left behind a trackable spiritual will imprint, he knew that it wouldn''t be enough to convince Yu Minjiang. But they were negotiating; so he would definitely start with the lowest option. When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he anticipated some bargaining from Yu Minjiang. Against his expectations, Yu Minjiang actually said, "Ok." So simple? Mo Wuji was slightly at a loss. He even started to suspect Yu Minjiang had some hidden methods up his sleeves. This shouldn''t be the case. It was true that a cultivator could constantly monitor another cultivator through the spiritual will imprint. However, there was a limit to the effective radius of the imprint. The universe was so vast; if the cultivator were to walk past that limit, then the spiritual will imprint would no longer be able to track him. But this shouldn''t be a trap. From the looks of it, this Yu Minjiang must be feeling helpless; so he lowered his conditions. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji modified the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel and injected it into a jade talisman. He then threw the talisman to the huge rock. The moment the jade talisman landed on the rock, it disappeared. A few instants later, Yu Minjiang¡¯s voice sounded once more, "Very good. You¡¯re very straightforward. I will give this genuine guide token to you." Thereafter, a jade token flew towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji left the jade token on the floor. He only picked it up after verifying that there was nothing wrong by using his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will. When he picked the jade token up, he found that there was, indeed, a new route inside. "Follow according to that route and you would soon be able to walk out of the immortal sealing array. Remember our agreement. I hope that you would play your part, as I played mine." Mo Wuji frowned. It was so simple; that it was suspicious. However, he wasn¡¯t able to find a single loophole. Yu Minjiang wanted him to find some immortal lattice stones; so Yu Minjiang wouldn¡¯t want to trap him. However, the critical thing was that green stone; Yu Minjiang seemed to value it immensely, but he no longer asked about it. "Oh, it¡¯s best that you leave that green stone behind. Otherwise, you might get blocked when you try to leave the array," Yu Minjiang¡¯s voice coincidentally sounded as Mo Wuji was thinking of this. When Mo Wuji heard these words, he sighed in relief. That¡¯s more proper. However, it was impossible to ask him to leave the green stone behind. He had the Undying World. He did not believe that the array would be able to detect the green stone if it was placed in his Undying World. "Since that¡¯s the case, I will be leaving first." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even mention anything about the green stone, as he opened his spiritual eye and carefully treaded forward. In just ten meters, Mo Wuji started to feel that something was amiss. Terrifying waves of killing intent continuously brush against him; some even slammed directly agains this Book of Luo. It could be said that without his Book of Luo, he would already be dead. "Yu Minjiang, you old man tried to lie to me." If Mo Wuji still believed that Yu Minjiang was trying to guide him out safely; then he would be a fool. He clenched his fists angrily, turning that jade token into dust. Even though he was raging, Mo Wuji was still wondering what went wrong? Why didn¡¯t Yu Minjiang believe that he was going to come back for him with the immortal lattice stones? While his spiritual will imprint wasn¡¯t the perfect promise, it was already considered a really honest method. For cultivators that weren¡¯t willing to make promises, leaving behind a spiritual will imprint was the best choice. Moreover, Mo Wuji definitely didn¡¯t believe that Yu Minjiang would be able to detect his spirit storage channel. He didn¡¯t let anyone else know about his spirit storage channel; it was his personal secret. Indeed, Yu Minjiang¡¯s voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, "Now, you have walked out of the area of safety. No matter where you go, you will be faced with killing intent. That page of the Book of Luo is not bad, but it can¡¯t guarentee your safety in the immortal sealing array for more than ten years. Also, you should give up any hope that you would be transported out when the Gods Tower closes. The Gods Tower¡¯s transfer doesn¡¯t affect the immortal sealing array." "What do you want?" Mo Wuji inhaled deeply and forced himself to calm down. At this moment, anxiety would only make things worse. From the looks of it, the reason why he could walk safely previously was indeed because of the Immortal Seeking Token. It had brought him to the safety zone that Yu Minjiang wanted him to be at. Yu Minjiang said flatly, "Firstly, leave behind all of your immortal lattice stones. Secondly, leave the green stone behind. Then, we would all go our separate ways. Of course, I will provide you with the genuine guide token." Mo Wuji startled. How did Yu Minjiang know that he had immortal lattice stones? This thought only briefly fleeted across Mo Wuji¡¯s mind before he came to an understanding. Previously when Yu Minjiang asked him whether he could acquire the immortal lattice stones, he did not hesitate to say that he could. It seems like that was the problem. If he didn¡¯t have any immortal lattice stones, he would have to contemplate before deciding that he could do it. Even a brief hesitation was a hesitation. However, he did not hesitate at all. Perhaps an average person might dismiss that. However, for a cunning old fox liek Yu Minjiang, he noticed it immediately. A sense of helplessness arose in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. Facing this old man¡¯s plethora of schemes, he was tricked because of a slight carelessness. At least he was in a safety zone previously; so he could slowly deliberate on how he could leave the immortal sealing array. But now, he was facing waves of killing intent all around him. If the killing intent wasn¡¯t enough, he also needed to be cautious of any kinds of seals. A strand of grass, a wooden twig, a tiny stone¡­ Anything that appeared in front of him could be a seal. If he was sealed in the immortal sealing array, then he could forget about leaving in his entire lifetime. As Mo Wuji controlled the Book of Luo to block the occasional killing intent that hit him, he also condensed his spiritual eye as he carefully manoevred with Da Huang. Yu Minjiang¡¯s voice was calling out continuously, calling for Mo Wuji to trade and to give him some immortal lattice stones. But now, Mo Wuji was more willing to be trapped in the immortal sealing array, then to engage in a trade with Yu Minjiang. He didn¡¯t even bother replying Yu Minjiang as he trodded away quickly. Yu Minjiang, this old thing, was far too cunning. No matter what he did, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get the upper hand. Since that was the case, then the trade wouldn¡¯t be fair and equal. And since the trade wouldn¡¯t be fair, then what was the need for the trade? Mo Wuji believed in that point strongly and decided to proceed on with his spiritual eye and his instincts. By now, he didn¡¯t have great hopes of leaving. He only hoped that he could find another safety zone. As for the Immortal Seeking Token, it was directly thrown into his spiritual ring. As expected, after a complete lack of response from Mo Wuji, Yu Minjiang started to get anxious. He was worried that if Mo Wuji got too far, even if Mo Wuji was trapped in the immortal sealing array, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get hold of Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring. Unfortunately for him, his plans might have been meticulous, but Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a fool. After two hours, Yu Minjiang knew that he had won the battle, but lost the war. Even though he might have many other methods and ideas up his sleeves, he was completely helpless if Mo Wuji ignored him. Yu Minjiang could only be filled with depression; he had never met a fella like Mo Wuji before. Not only didn¡¯t he not gain anything, he even lost a consciousness crystal and his important green stone. Fortunately, he still had the spiritual will imprint. As long as he had the spiritual will imprint, he would be able to locate Mo Wuji, then get his ring. That¡¯s not right¡­. Yu Minjiang quickly felt that something was amiss. Mo Wuji had given him the spiritual will imprint which should be able to feel Mo Wuji within the immortal sealing array. That¡¯s not right; even if he couldn¡¯t get Mo Wuji¡¯s location, he should at least be able to feel Mo Wuji. A wave of depression flooded into Yu Minjiang¡¯s mind. He had been played with by an ant twice. ¡­ "Boom!" Another wave of killing intent slammed against the Book of Luo. Even though the killing intent was entire blocked by the Book of Luo, the powerful impact still left Mo Wuji¡¯s chest unsettled and his meridians circulating with difficulty. Fortunately, Mo Wuji was experienced by now. He knew that these waves of killing intent didn¡¯t come consecutively. As long as he defended against one, it would take some time before the next killing intent arrives. Actually, the killing intent wasn¡¯t the greatest threat here. The greatest threat was that he could easily get sealed if he was ever careless. If not for his spiritual eye, he probably would have been sealed over a hundred times. An exquisite stone arch bridge appeared in front of Mo Wuji; below the stone arch bridge was a relatively narrow, dried-up river. That stone arch bridge looked innocuous, but Mo Wuji decided to stop in his tracks. He had a premonition that if he stepped on that bridge, he would be sealed in the bridge forever. He wasn¡¯t going to step on that bridge. Just when Mo Wuji decided to skirt over the bridge, a faint red colour appeared on the white pearl in his hand. This was the bloodline seeking token that Ji Feiqian left behind. Did this red colour mean that Ji Li was nearby? Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding as he hurriedly walked back. At the instant that Mo Wuji retreated, he saw some faint foot prints in front of him. These foot prints were clearly not his; they were bigger than his by an entire fold. Mo Wuji could catch a faint elemental energy and enigmatic runic energy from those foot prints. A layer of cold sweat instantly formed on his back. If not for the red colour on the bloodline seeking token, he might have stepped on those foot prints. According to his experience, those foot prints were definitely a seal in the immortal sealing array. "Thanks." Mo Wuji silently thanked Ji Li. If Ji Li wasn¡¯t in his surroundings, how could he have avoided that. From the looks of it, he still wasn¡¯t careful enough. [TL¡¯s thoughts] I¡¯m rather confused about the Immortal Seeking Token, but here¡¯s how I think it actually is. Yu Minjiang created the Immortal Seeking Token, which was also an unsealing token. (But it needed the green stone for some array). Ji Feiqian also used this token as a bloodline seeking token, so that Mo Wuji could find Ji Li. Chapter 654: Ji Li Chapter 654: Ji Li Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji followed accordingly to the red spot on the bloodline seeking token as he started shifting his body cautiously. Mo Wuji spent a total of over four hours to travel along 10 metres as he carefully observed every stone that appeared. It was only at this moment that Mo Wuji knew he had been relying completely on good fortune that he wasn¡¯t trapped despite leaving the safe area for some time already. Within this immortal sealing array, Mo Wuji could not be sure whether there would be no dangers at all or numerous dangers over the same distance of a few metres. In other words, it meant that there were pits everywhere. After walking in this manner for over 20 days, Mo Wuji finally stopped as there was a willow about six to seven metres ahead of him. A haggard looking girl was tied onto the willow and even though only half her face could be seen, her astonishing beauty could no longer be concealed. Even though Mo Wuji had no idea how many years she had been tied up for, there was still a form of ethereal beauty from the space between her eyebrows. The haggard looking face didn¡¯t exude any aura of a strong expert but a grand and spectacular aura of intellectual instead. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes fell on that willow was emerald green in colour and there was even a few droplets of dew on it. Mo Wuji had seen too many willows before but this was the first time Mo Wuji saw a willow hanging down mysteriously without its roots and body. However, he was within the immortal sealing array so Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be too surprised to see anything strange here. The girl was tied onto the hanging willow and she appeared to be unable to move at all. Mo Wuji continued walking a few metres forward and he came to a halt when he was about 4 metres away from the girl¡¯s position. The girl seemed to have sensed something as she suddenly lifted her head. Mo Wuji saw a pair of exhausted eyes but despite the weary eyes, they were still shockingly beautiful to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath and even before he could speak, the girl spoke, "The Gods Tower has been opened again? Where are you from?" Contrary to what Mo Wuji expected, this beautiful girl¡¯s voice was dry and hoarse while her elemental energy seemed impractical. Mo Wuji guessed that it was because she was trapped in the immortal sealing array for too long. Mo Wuji believed that this girl was unable to see him because in the immortal sealing array, spiritual will was rendered to be useless. Not only was the spiritual will useless, even the eyes were just as useless. He was able to see her only because of his spiritual eye which could see everything. "That¡¯s right, the Gods Tower is reopened and I am from Zhen Xing¡­" Mo Wuji answered calmly as she stared at the gorgeous eyes of this girl. Indeed, after hearing that Mo Wuji was from Zhen Xing, traces of excitement flashed across the girl¡¯s eyes as she looked longingly and hopefully in front of her. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and as he realised that this girl must be Ji Li. "My father reached Zhen Xing? How is he doing now? Has he recovered from his injuries?" A series of questions were thrown at Mo Wuji. Decent. This girl was still considered to be decently unselfish who cared more about others. Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of this girl would have dropped to zero if the first question she asked was whether Mo Wuji could rescue her out. Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important and if a person is unable to display this virtue, nothing else mattered. This woman¡¯s first words were words of concern for her father which made her pretty filial. "May I ask if your name is Ji Li?" Mo Wuji chose to ask his own question instead of answering the woman¡¯s question. The woman calmed herself down before saying, "That¡¯s right. I am Ji Li while my father is called Ji Feiqian. Just before I entered the immortal sealing array, he said that he might head towards Zhen Xing. Mo Wuji exclaimed, "Your father had indeed arrived at Zhen Xing and even left a note with his last words to request for people to rescue you¡­" When she heard ¡®last words¡¯, Mo Wuji noticed that there were already tears flowing down Ji Li¡¯s eyes so he stopped talking. After a while, Ji Li stopped crying as she looked at the position at which Mo Wuji could be heard from, "Thank you for bringing the news of my father here¡­" Mo Wuji threw out the bloodline seeking token forward, "This token was the only item left behind by your father and now it shall return to its rightful owner. Even though your father requested for me to rescue you, the pity was that I am simply too weak so I could only bring this message to you. As for saving you, I am afraid I might not be able to do so. As Ji Li held the bloodline seeking token, she started bawling uncontrollably again as if she could sense her father standing right in front of her. Her talent was peerless and was doted by her parents since birth. As she grew older, her strength was even more outstanding and had even surpassed her father. After the war between gods started, she was worried for her father which was why she took the initiative to enter the battlefield to help her father. However, not only was she unable to help her father, she even caused her father to be plotted by someone in the dark while she ended up trapped in the immortal sealing array. "I am sorry, to have implicated you," What Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect was that Ji Li actually apologised to him. Mo Wuji forgot that Ji Li couldn¡¯t see him as he waved his hand and said, "I have accepted the request on my own accord so it''s okay. Regardless, that equipment spirit had also helped me so it¡¯s only necessary that I help him bring this message to you. Goodbye then, I have to leave now so do take care." "Didn¡¯t my father hand you his inheritance?" Ji Li asked curiously. Mo Wuji became furious when he heard this but he wasn¡¯t angry at Ji Li but that cunning equipment spirit. The equipment spirit is truly a stingy person to let him go through so many deathly dangers without even giving him any of the good items from Ji Feiqian. If he could obtain something good from Ji Feiqian back then, he wouldn¡¯t have needed to go through such hardships. "I didn¡¯t and I shall blame it on my unluckiness to have been fooled by that old fella," Mo Wuji said depressingly, "Other than the bloodline seeking token in your hands, I don¡¯t have anything else." It was true because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have anything else which belonged to Ji Feiqian other than the bloodline seeking token. "I am so sorry. Why don¡¯t you have my own inheritance?" Ji Li said apologetically as she heard that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t receive anything even for risking his life coming into this dangerous place. Mo Wuji was only depressed for that second because this happened so many years ago which was why he didn¡¯t really put this matter to heart. Furthermore, this Ji Li¡¯s character was decent so at least he wasn¡¯t doing it for some vicious and black hearted person. "Forget it, I don¡¯t need your inheritance or anything. I have wasted too much time here and I needed to get out of here as soon as possible because once the Gods Tower is closed, I would really be trapped here," Mo Wuji answered so casually because he really didn¡¯t need it. If it was before he could deduce his own techniques, he would be jumping in joy if Ji Li offered him such a good deal. Now that he had his very own unique inheritance and technique, he wouldn¡¯t be interested in any other technique no matter how good they were. "I am truly so sorry¡­" Ji Li apologised once again. Mo Wuji sighed because this Ji Li might be tough but her character was very soft. In just their short conversation alone, she apologised three times. "I¡¯ve already said that it¡¯s okay so goodbye then," Mo Wuji turned the moment he finished. "I meant that I am afraid you might not be able to leave now. As long as you have entered the immortal sealing array for more than three days, you wouldn¡¯t be able to exit anymore. You were here for at least half a month already right?" Ji Li asked. Mo Wuji was shocked because this was indeed a pit to trap people. "Isn¡¯t there any way to get out of here?" Mo Wuji was not willing to accept his fate of being trapped here so he asked Ji Li. Ji Li kept silent and after a few minutes, she replied, "There are indeed a couple of ways out. The first would be if you are a peak grade Gods Array Master, you might be able to escape. Also, I¡¯ve heard that Minjiang was also trapped in the immortal sealing array so if you¡¯re able to find him before you¡¯re trapped, you might have a shot at escaping. Lastly, if you have the Universal Peak Token¡­" Just as Mo Wuji was still thinking about what was a Gods Array Master, he suddenly heard that the Universal Peak Token was a way out so he hurried to question, "Are you saying that I can escape if I have a Universal Peak Token? How do I use it?" As for Yu Minjiang, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t trust that fella anymore. That fella might have a way out but have him guide Mo Wuji out of this place, Mo Wuji might need to shed some skin first. This Yu Minjiang was the most cunning person he had ever met and was even more deceitful than the old equipment spirit. While Mo Wuji was questioning, he had already taken out the Universal Peak Token. Following which, he suddenly smacked his own brain and said, "I am such a pig. This Universal Peak Token was definitely much more supreme than this immortal sealing array." Indeed, there was a clear path from the immortal sealing array displayed on the Universal Peak Token. This route would directly lead him out to the entrance of the 17th level. Whether or not the immortal sealing array was around or not, it was unable to stop the Universal Peak Token from displaying the route. "You even have the Universal Peak Token?" Ji Li asked astonishingly. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes I do have it but it was something I picked up because of fate. Fortunately, there is a clear route displayed on this. Ai, you could see my Universal Peak Token?" "The Universal Peak Token is like a star as it is unrestrained by any time or spatial array. Even in the immortal sealing array, I could see it the moment you take it out," Ji Li explained. Even though the Universal Peak Token was related to Ji Feiqian, Mo Wuji knew that this wasn¡¯t something that belonged to Ji Feiqian. After obtaining the Universal Staircase, he left the Universal Staircase in Zhen Xing which attracted the Universal Peak Token to it." Ji Li looked at the Universal Peak Token in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands before saying, "If you are able to refine the Universal Peak Token, you would be able to understand everything here in the immortal sealing array. I suggest that you don¡¯t refine this token because given your cultivation level, you might need about tens of thousands of years just to refine it." Ji Li was already toning it down because she was certain that Mo Wuji would never be able to refine this Universal Peak Token in his entire lifetime. "So I would be able to rescue you if I were to refine this Universal Peak Token?" Mo Wuji was suddenly in a dilemma because if he could rescue Ji Li by refining this Universal Peak Token, it seemed a little immoral to leave by himself now. "No, the Universal Peak Token only remembered the space around the surrounding and had nothing to do with breaking the arrays. Even with the route displayed to you, it would be extremely difficult for you to escape," Ji Li was surprised at Mo Wuji¡¯s fate but even she knew that the chances of escaping with the Universal Peak Token was extremely slim. One must know that within the immortal sealing array, even if everything was well illuminated, it would be difficult to leave let alone, a route filled with extreme dangers. "It¡¯s okay, I only needed a chance, no matter how slim¡­" Mo Wuji paused as he suddenly thought of something else. He had the route out but the Gods Tower was about to close so the moment the Gods Tower closed, even if he could escape the immortal sealing array, he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave the Gods Tower. Forget it. He shall leave the immortal sealing array before anything else because this place was way too strange. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t wait anymore so he asked, "Senior Sister Ji Li, can I ask you two questions?" Ji Li¡¯s cultivation and age was far greater than Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji could it to awkward to address a person, who looked about the same age as himself, as an elder. This was why he chose to address her as Senior Sister. Chapter 655: The Use of An Immortal Lattice Stone Chapter 655: The Use of An Immortal Lattice Stone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ji Li wasn¡¯t too bothered by it as she casually said, "Please ask." "The first question was if you knew what this stone, which I obtained, was? And also its uses. The second question would be why was there a need for the Gods War? And also about the battlefield of the Gods War too," Mo Wuji threw Ji Li an immortal lattice stone after asking what he wanted to ask. This immortal lattice stone must be a peak grade treasure for Yu Minjiang to be this protective and concerned over it. The reason why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t ask Yu Minjiang about the uses and purpose of the immortal lattice stone was because Mo Wuji knew that Yu Minjiang would not speak the truth. Now that he had met Ji Li, Mo Wuji felt the urge to ask. "This is a consciousness crystal¡­" Ji Li said excitedly the moment she got hold of the immortal lattice stone. Mo Wuji remained silent because he knew that Ji Li would continue explaining for him. Indeed, Ji Li managed to control her emotions forcefully before taking a deep breath, "I have no idea what was the cause of the Gods War and the way the battlefield was divided isn¡¯t something I would know. Therefore, I am unable to answer your second question. The Gods War was not a one or two time event because I¡¯ve heard that there were Gods War back in the ancient days too. There would be countless of experts who perished in each Gods War. These great power of these experts¡¯ Dao were boundless and even their body managed to condense and contain countless of laws between the Heaven and Earth. Their sea of consciousness was formed by the merging of the different laws of Heaven and Earth and after they perished, their sea of consciousness would dispersed. However, the energy of their laws of Dao would not disappear because of that and after many years of scouring against the accumulated Heaven and Earth¡¯s Dao spirituality, it formed a unique crystalise body which was called the consciousness crystal. Every consciousness crystal would contain the energy of the ancient Heaven and Earth as it possessed a supreme type of Dao spirituality. To every cultivator, this would be an invaluable treasure as it could even track down a single trace of energy of the purest origin. To cultivators who were trapped like us, the value of this consciousness crystal was even more staggering. This was also why he felt that something was wrong the moment he came into contact with a blackstone. It seemed as though it contained a mighty Heaven and Earth¡¯s spirituality and that it was mainly because this was formed by the sea of consciousness of many experts. "I would still like to learn from Senior Sister Ji Li as to how this consciousness crystal would be specifically useful like you," Mo Wuji clasped his fists. Ji Li continued, "The immortal sealing array was strong only because everywhere in the immortal sealing array would be constantly changing. For example, the path that you came in from might be a safe path when you came in but if you were to walk out from the exact same path, that path could have turned into a trap. Back then, many experts were also unable to find the way out and was eventually trapped just like everyone else. In the immortal sealing array, both the elemental energy and even the sea of consciousness would be locked. However, the laws of Heaven and Earth of the immortal sealing array would be unable to restrain the the laws of dao spirituality of the Heaven and Earth which ancient experts managed to enlighten. One example would be your Universal Peak Token and the consciousness crystal was a similar type of item just that its value was far lesser than that of the Universal Peak Token. As long as the trapped cultivator had sufficient amount of consciousness crystal, he would be able to borrow the spiritual will of these crystals to unlock his own sea of consciousness and eventually set himself free. Moreover, these crystals were extremely beneficial for us to enlighten our sacred art dao spirituality as well as enlightening the laws of our own world." Mo Wuji suddenly understood why the old fella Yu Minjiang was so desperate for the immortal lattice stone. So that old fella wanted to free himself. "So this is the main purpose of this consciousness crystal. Previously, a lot of my friends treated this item as an immortal lattice stone to condense their immortal lattice," Mo Wuji answered. Ji Li sighed, "It is simply a waste of the treasure if you use the consciousness crystal to condense the immortal lattice...What a waste of treasures." "Was it inappropriate? Could it be that these cultivators who used the consciousness crystal to condense their immortal lattice would be limited in their future progress?" Mo Wuji questioned. Mo Wuji had heard about stories of many genius disciples choosing not to use the immortal lattice stones to condense their immortal. Ji Li explained, "The consciousness crystal was condensed out from the laws of the ancient experts¡¯ sea of consciousness so there would definitely be a restriction. That restriction would be the fact that you would be limited to the Dao¡¯s advancement of the ancient expert. In other words, cultivators who used the consciousness crystal to condense their immortal lattice would forever not be able to surpass the rightful owner of the consciousness crystal. However, do you have any idea how strong an expert would be if he could condense a consciousness crystal just from his sea of consciousness? Even without using the consciousness crystal, not many people could surpass these ancient experts. Furthermore, after using these consciousness crystals, their future enlightenment of the Heaven and Earth¡¯s Dao spirituality would be so much swifter and thorough which would be an advantage. Even without taking into account for all these, the consciousness crystal is still a treasure which could be used for smithing too." Mo Wuji shook his head as it seemed like he had unnecessary worries. It wasn¡¯t just him but also the rest of the fellas who had no idea what the true uses of the consciousness crystal. Would any other method of condensing the immortal lattice by as effective as using the consciousness crystal? "Did you use the consciousness crystal to condense your immortal lattice too?" Ji Li asked abruptly. "Nope," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even condense his immortal lattice and not just the immortal lattice, he didn¡¯t even have the primordial spirit. He was after all only a mortal with no spiritual roots and the only reason he could cultivate till this day was because he managed to open his meridians for cultivation. Ji Li continued explaining, "The reason why using the consciousness crystal to condense the immortal lattice was a waste because every cultivator who used it to condense their immortal lattice would only extract out less than 1% of the immortal Dao laws from within the consciousness crystal. Once this portion of immortal Dao laws were extracted from the consciousness crystal, the consciousness crystal would be completely scattered away. Therefore, it is truly the greatest waste for one to use the consciousness crystal to condense one¡¯s immortal lattice. It was no wonder why Han Qingru used up so many of the immortal lattice stones while trying to condense her immortal lattice. She was actually ruining them all. "Furthermore, there would be an extreme hidden danger for cultivator with low cultivation level to use these consciousness crystals to condense their immortal lattice¡­" "What hidden danger?" Even before Ji Li could finish explaining, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but to interject. His first few friends all used the immortal lattice stones to condense their immortal lattice so it would spell trouble if there was a hidden danger. Ji Li answered, "Even though it was already some time back since these ancient experts perished, some of the rather malicious experts would mark some of their thoughts onto some of the consciousness crystals. The moment a weak cultivator used consciousness crystals like this, they could end up becoming the slaves of these ancient expert and eventually seized upon." Mo Wuji fell silent because this was indeed a great danger. A long while later, Mo Wuji asked, "Senior Sister Ji Li, why didn¡¯t you ask me for the consciousness crystal?" Ji Li said remorsefully, "You didn¡¯t even take away anything from my father and even came to send a message to me so how could I be so shameless to ask you for a consciousness crystal? I do have a few items in my storage ring but I am unable to open my own storage ring at the moment. Even if I were to gift you my storage ring, you might not be able to open it in the next hundred years." Mo Wuji sighed at how different two people could be. If that Yu Minjiang treated him sincerely, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for Mo Wuji to gift him some immortal lattice stones. To Mo Wuji, the immortal lattice stones were really not of much use to him. "How many immortal lattice stones do you need to be able to leave this place?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. "100,000 immortal lattice stones I guess¡­" Ji Li said with some uncertainty. Mo Wuji took out a storage ring as he threw it over, "This storage ring does not require spiritual will but only willpower to open it. There are about 1,000,000 immortal lattice stones in it, oh yes, hold on for a while¡­" After he said that, Mo Wuji retrieved a water crystal ball before carving a route from the Universal Peak Token onto it. After tossing it to Ji Li, Mo Wuji said, "this is the route out of the immortal sealing array and you can only depend on yourself if you want to leave this place in the future." Ji Li received the item and trembled slightly in disbelief because she had never seen a cultivator as generous as Mo Wuji. Exchanging of benefits would be the norm between a deal between two cultivators; a certain benefit in exchange for an item. She didn¡¯t even help Mo Wuji in any way yet he took out about 10 times more immortal lattice stones than what she stated. With this 1,000,000 immortal lattice stones, she was 100% confident that she could free herself from this willow and recover her original body. Ji Li suddenly felt as though she understood Mo Wuji¡¯s intention as she hurried to say, "If I am quick, I might need hundreds of years to free myself but if I am slow, I wouldn¡¯t take more than 10,000 years. At that point, I will bring you out¡­" Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, "I can¡¯t wait for that long so I shall make my move now. I wish you all the best and we will meet again if fate permits." Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye immediately after his sentence and left. By giving Ji Li more immortal lattice stones for her to escape, Mo Wuji considered it as accomplishing one of his intention of entering the Gods Tower. In fact, Ji Li was an ancestor of the Zhen Xing¡¯s cultivators so it should be necessary that he helped her. Ji Li¡¯s face turned warm as she realised that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even harbour the intention of asking her for help. At the thought of this, she hurried to call out for Mo Wuji, "Hold on¡­ I shall give you this star locket." She used her mouth to break apart the necklace on her neck as she threw it accurately at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji caught the star locket and he could instantly feel a faint, clear and warm scent. A vast and boundless type of energy seeped out of it and Mo Wuji knew in that instance that this was definitely a peal grade treasure. In his eyes, the immortal lattice stones which he gave Ji Li was not even worthy of a mention hence, it was certainly not of the same value as this treasure. Even before Mo Wuji could return the star locket, Ji Li said, "If you choose not to accept this star locket, I wouldn¡¯t have the face to accept your items too." Mo Wuji looked at this star looking star locket before replying, "Alright, I shall accept it then." "May I know what¡¯s your name?" Ji Li¡¯s tone became much more relaxed at the sight of Mo Wuji accepting the star locket. "My name is Mo Wuji and I am a rogue cultivator," Mo Wuji casually hung the star locket on his neck as he started to shift out cautiously. The immortal sealing array was filled with dangers everywhere so even if he knew the way out, he dared not move carelessly. ¡­ Su Xi stood up as the great density of the elemental energy in the Gods Tower was simply too terrifying. She was only behind closed doors for a few years and had actually darted into the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. Not only that, Su Xi didn¡¯t experience any lightning tribulation too. From her judgement, three years should be almost up and she would be preparing to leave now. Among all the cultivators who entered the Gods Tower, she was the only person who didn¡¯t enter the second level in these three years. Su Xi just walked out of her closed doors and an immense spatial tremble could be felt from somewhere not too far away from herself. If not for Mo Wuji¡¯s repeated nagging, she almost couldn¡¯t control herself and was this close to bringing out her Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. "Boom!" Half an arm dropped from the sky as it fell onto the ground which were only several feets away from her. Su Xi¡¯s first glance was the storage ring on the half arm that landed and as she scanned the surrounding using her spiritual will, she couldn¡¯t sense any suspicious trace. At this moment, the Gods Token on her body started to vibrate vigorously and faint light radiances were shot out. The Gods Tower was about to close so Su Xi hurried to the half arm as she picked up the storage ring before keeping it in her pocket. Just as she finished doing this, a faint and weak radiance swept her away. Chapter 656: Possession Chapter 656: Possession Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A faint gold coloured plaza was floating outside the Gods Tower and at this moment, the gold plaza was already filled with thousands of people standing around it. These people were not cultivators who came out of the Gods Tower but were there to await the return of the cultivators who had entered the Gods Tower. After the Gods Tower was closed, all cultivators inside the Gods Tower would be transferred onto this golden plaza before returning back to shore from this floating plaza. This golden plaza only existed for a short period of time and after a maximum of 2 hours, it would disappear completely. However, every cultivator who was transferred out of the Gods Tower would appear instantly here. Experts from the Great Kun Buddhist Sect like Hang Ke and Guang Xing were so impatient that they almost stepped onto the golden plaza. Besides them, Grand Emperors like Lei Guyun of the Lightning Sect and Yi Minghu of the Great Sword Path were also standing extremely close to the golden plaza. In fact, even the Grand Emperor of the Vast Ocean Immortal School, Jin Yusheng was here too. Further away from them, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance¡¯s Head Xiao Lishi was standing with another expert in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. As for the Six Paths Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Gai Ao, Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Ou Gu and the Heavenly Chasm Immortal City¡¯s Castellan Ku Zhu were all accompanying the Very High Heavens¡¯ venerable envoy as they stood at the periphery of the Gods Heavenly Chasm. Qing Yang of the Green Immortal House shook her head as she saw a line up of experts like this. Mo Wuji had simply offended way too many people and made too little friends. Any one person here would be able put him in his deathbed yet his dependable Zhuo Pingan was not here. She was certain that the instance Mo Wuji appeared on the golden plaza, he would have to die or even suffer so badly that he wished he was dead. No matter how Mo Wuji changed his appearance, he would definitely not be able to escape the watchful eyes of these experts. The pity was that if Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t offended so many experts and would most likely perish today, a young and talented expert like him would have such a bright future ahead. Qing Yang shook her head because she believed that Mo Wuji seeked death because he was a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. For a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, the attention and respect he received on a daily basis was simply too much that he forgot that he was still only a rogue cultivator. No matter how talented a rogue cultivator was, he would just be a floating cloud without any powerful backing. "Boom!" Radiances started flashing from the Gods Tower and people started streaming out one after the other. Every cultivator who appeared would be approached and protected by experts of his own sect. In actual fact, these cultivators would be protected all the way till they leave the Gods Heavenly Chasm safely. The instance Huang Sha came out, he stood by the side and stared intensely at the other cultivators. No matter how Mo Wuji disguised himself, he would still be able to recognise him. However, as his eyes glanced through every cultivator who appeared on the golden plaza, he didn¡¯t actually sense Mo Wuji¡¯s presence. "Huang Sha, could he have failed?" Yi Minghu¡¯s low voice could be heard because he had already glanced through the people here. Other than a slightly odd looking girl, he didn¡¯t notice Mo Wuji. "When I wanted to kill him, he was protected by the Gods Immortal Sect¡¯s Ling Lunan and surprisingly, even Ling Lunan is not out yet. I saw with my own eyes Ling Lunan and Mo Wuji walked away together so could it be that both of them had fallen in the Gods Tower?" Huang Sha said with a fearful voice. He promised to kill Mo Wuji yet he didn¡¯t manage to fulfil his promise. Yi Minghu suddenly asked, "Who else was with Mo Wuji and Ling Lunan when they left?" "There was also Qing Ruoyue of the Green Immortal House, Dao Feng of the Immortal Blade Path and one more person whom I don¡¯t recognise," Huang Sha clenched his fist as he started to regret. He wouldn¡¯t be satisfied even if Mo Wuji were to perish in the Gods Tower because he had said before that he would personally kill Mo Wuji. "Are you upset because you weren¡¯t the one who personally kill Mo Wuji?" Yi Minghu spoke with a faint voice. Huang Sha bowed, "Yes, disciple can¡¯t wait to burn his soul away." Yi Minghu¡¯s eyes swept through the cultivators who came out from the Gods Tower once more before saying, "There is a high chance that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t perish in the Gods Tower and he could even be one of the people here." "Ah¡­" Huang Sha stare blankly because he really didn¡¯t sense Mo Wuji¡¯s energy. He had slaughtered countless of people and the instance he was bent on killing someone, killing intent would burst forth from his heart the moment he saw the person regardless of the disguise he put on. Yi Minghu exclaimed, "If we could spot him so easily, this man wouldn¡¯t have been as accomplished as he is now. I¡¯ve done my research on this person¡¯s origins and past and ever since the first time he appeared from the Lifeless River, this man had been increasingly experienced and cautious. Additionally, this person was extremely vicious and would never allow anyone to pry on his secrets. If my guess is right, that Ling Lunan would have died in his vicious hands because of some treasures." Huang Sha heard this and started shivering because if Mo Wuji was indeed this terrifying, how was he supposed to find Mo Wuji? Even though his Great Sword Path was reputable, it still wouldn¡¯t be qualified enough to search every cultivator who appeared from the Gods Tower. Of course, this was unless his Great Sword Path was willing to offend that many sects. Yi Minghu laughed coldly, "So what if he was alive? I would destroy every piece of land which he stepped in the Immortal World." Despite the countless of people he had killed, Huang Sha still shivered subconsciously. ¡­ A few experts of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect were also here but they were well aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s predicament the moment he appeared. Therefore, there was no reason for them to defend Mo Wuji. While Yi Minghu was talking to Huang Sha, Lei Guyun was inspecting every cultivator who came out of the Gods Tower. At this moment, the quiet Hang Ke of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect suddenly stepped up to stop a long hair woman, "Miss, please hold on." If Mo Wuji was here, he would be panicking because this woman was Su Xi after altering her appearance and energy. "What¡¯s the matter?" The long hair woman¡¯s tone was icy cold as her entire body felt uneasy. Concurrently, a vicious killing intent surged out as if it was about to freeze the entire space around them. Hang Ke pulled back his glare as he hurried to mouth, "Amitabha, old man here almost recognised the wrong person. Please go ahead, Miss." The long hair woman grunted as she turned and dashed into the Gods Heavenly Chasm instantly. "Senior Uncle Hang Ke, why did you let her off? She was clearly wearing a disguise and I suspect that she is Su Xi. You must know that Mo Wuji is an honoured grade Tier 7 Pill Emperor so it shouldn¡¯t be impossible that he is able to concoct the Tier 8 Dry Wimple Pill," Guang Xing watched the woman¡¯s shadow disappear into the Gods Heavenly Chasm as he questioned Hang Ke¡¯s action. Hang Ke shook his head, "That woman is not Su Xi because even if she used the Dry Wimple Pill, it could only alter her appearance and energy but definitely not her aura and technique. This woman¡¯s body exude cold, vicious aura and her cultivation level is likely to be in the Immortal Emperor Stage. My Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s top priority is to find the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp and not form feud with an expert like her." "Thank you Senior Uncle for your teachings," Guang Xing hurried to clasp his fist and said. Immortal Emperor would not be allowed to enter the Gods Tower but every time the Gods Tower was opened, some Immortal Emperors would enter it nevertheless. This was a known secret. If his Great Kun Buddhist Sect were to offend an Immortal Emperor who entered the Gods Tower, there would definitely be unwanted consequences for them. The truth was that many people were watching Hang Ke¡¯s act of stopping the woman and once they saw him let her go, everyone¡¯s focus changed instantly. Su Xi was from the Mediation Nunnery and her cultivation technique was from the same source as the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. Additionally, Su Xi¡¯s cultivation level was low so no matter how she tried to disguise herself or alter the energy exuded from her, she shouldn¡¯t be able to escape the eyes of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Now that even the Great Kun Buddhist Sect had eliminated the possibility that this woman could be Su Xi, this woman would naturally not be Su Xi. ¡­ Su Xi felt like she just had a very long and odd dream because this dream seemed to be never ending as she couldn¡¯t wake up from it. How could I let this happen? How am I supposed to avenge my master like that? Furthermore, Big Brother Mo would be waiting for me outside so if I don¡¯t wake up from this dream, how do I avenge my master? What if Big Brother Mo waited for too long and was spotted by others? Su Xi forced herself to open her eyes and she instantly sensed that something was amiss. Her own body was no longer in her control. "Possession?" Su Xi was from a reputable sect and her master was a person who could match with a Grand Immortal so even if she didn¡¯t have much experience, she understood what was going on instantly. Someone was trying to swallow her soul and primordial spirit and then control her body, "No¡­" Su Xi started to resist. "Aye?" The escaping Su Xi came to an abrupt stop as she shot out an extremely cold radiance before grunting coldly with a hoarse voice like a dying old woman, "How dare a mere Grand Zhi Immortal like you resist me? It is your fortune that I picked your body." "Get out, get out, get out¡­" Despite going through her master¡¯s death, Su Xi was still rather pure and innocent as she had no idea what vile words could drive the old woman who was about to take over her body. In the end, all she could do was to shout repeatedly for her to leave. She had already regretted her act of picking up that storage ring. Nothing in this world comes without a price so was this the price of the storage ring which fell in front of her? "I was still intending to swallow you slowly but since you¡¯re unwilling, merge with my will and become a part of me¡­" An immense willpower landed in Su Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness as it tried to shatter Su Xi¡¯s soul will forcefully. Just like a jet-black ink, this energy which contained all sorts of wishful thoughts started to permeate intently towards Su Xi¡¯s soul. However, this broken soul was shocked in the very next moment. This was the first time she saw such a clean soul and if not for that tiny bit of obsessiveness for revenge, the broken soul might not be able to seep through it at all. Su Xi¡¯s soul and primordial spirit was like a white piece of paper and any sort of wishful thoughts would not be able to stay on it. Even the obsessiveness for revenge lasted for only a short while so it was still not suitable for the merging of her soul. "Since this is the case, I shall swallow you directly," The broken soul sighed helplessly because even though it seemed simple to possess and swallow her directly, she still had to merge the souls completely after swallowing her. This would waste too much time and treasures for it to be successful. "Soul Possession!" Just as this thought appeared, a buddhist lamp suddenly appeared in Su Xi¡¯s sea of consciousness. This buddhist lamp was like a shining bright tower in a pitch black area and this reignited Su Xi¡¯s dying primordial spirit. "Great Kun Buddhist Lamp? Why would you have such an item?" The broken soul exclaimed. Su Xi was currently standing under the light radiance of the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp as she directed overwhelming radiances towards the broken soul which was about to possess her. Chapter 657: The Number One Villain In The Immortal World Chapter 657: The Number One Villain In The Immortal World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The highly anticipated Gods Tower was finally closed up but this was definitely not the end. Rumours spread that there were three immortal equipments that surpassed Grade 9 which made it out of the Gods Tower together with a wide variety of other peak grade techniques and treasures. Some of the weaker sects took the initiative to give away these already revealed treasures while the stronger sects would be more ambitious as they wanted more. Many of the killings happened after the Gods Tower was closed was mainly because of the treasures that were brought out of the Gods Tower. Concurrently, everyone was full of envy at the genius disciples chosen by the Venerable Envoy of the Very High Heavens. Everyone here was aware that any genius who was chosen to enter the Very High Heavens would definitely be a peak existence in the future. Other than the genius disciples chosen by the Very High Heavens, the other famous person was Mo Wuji. Rumours spread that Mo Wuji was now a legitimate Tier 8 Pill Emperor, concocted and used the Dry Wimple Pill on his way out of the Gods Tower without anyone noticing him. However, this was not the only rumour involving Mo Wuji. Everyone in the Immortal World was now aware that when Huang Sha of the Great Sword Path wanted to kill Mo Wuji in the Gods Tower, Ling Lunan of the Gods Immortal Sect stepped out to rescue Mo Wuji and chased Huang Sha away. However, Mo Wuji was ruthless and especially vicious when he saw an ancient treasure on his way out with Ling Lunan so he managed to plot against Ling Lunan before leaving with the ancient treasure. This news had already spread across every resthouse or immortal house in the entire Immortal World. Ding Po Immortal City was the number one peak grade immortal city of the Luo Ling Immortal Domain. The Waterfall Immortal Sect was located at the Ding Po Immortal City and back then, Immortal Empress Wen Lan underwent her realisation of the Immortal Dao at the waterfall which was where she established the Waterfall Immortal Sect. The Waterfall Inn was the number one inn in the Ding Po Immortal City and it was said that Immortal Empress Wen Lan came here for a drink before. Therefore, whether it was passersby, neighbouring sects or residences of the Ding Po Immortal City, they loved to visit the Waterfall Inn for a flask of Waterfall Wine. Even if they couldn¡¯t afford the best quality Waterfall Wine here, they would still opt for a slightly more affordable one here. Even though the Waterfall Inn had a very big hall, it was always crowded with people from everywhere. At this moment, the Waterfall Inn was indeed filled with people and a sharp chin man was blabbering about the incidents in the Gods Tower. He had just finished describing how Mo Wuji assassinated Ling Lunan, who rescued him previously, in the dark before snatching away the peak grade treasure. "That shouldn¡¯t be possible because I¡¯ve heard that Pill Master Mo values friendship and loyalty. Grand Emperor Lun Cai only killed a few of his accountants yet Pill Master Mo dared to go straight up against him. Why would a person like this assassinate his benefactor?" One of the passerby asked inquisitively. Sharp chin man laughed out loud, "It is impossible to judge a man¡¯s heard from his face or acts because it is still possible for someone to do good in the morning before killing someone at night. Furthermore, under the temptation of an immortal equipment surpassing Grade 9, how many people could resist the urge? We might curse at Mo Wuji¡¯s character but we are also envious over what he had obtained." "I might not be envious but this person with the surname Mo is definitely a sc*mbag. Since I just returned from the Gods Immortal Domain, I shall describe something I saw personally," A man with a face full of meat stood up and said. Everyone in the hall fell silent as they focused on the words of the man. This man did enjoy having the spotlight to himself and even though he enjoyed it, he continued with a stern face, "Back then, I saw with my own eyes that Pill Master Mo rescued the master and disciple of the Mediation Nunnery. Initially, I was still applauding Pill Master Mo because he did something I would never dare to do. Afterwards, I finally understand his intentions¡­" "What intention?" "Senior Yuan Yi of the Mediation Nunnery was after all an expert near the Grand Emperor Stage so even if she was injured, how could she have perished? However, she mysteriously passed away and then her disciple, Su Xi, started following beside Mo Wuji. The pity was that because of that Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, Su Xi had mysteriously gone missing too," The man said furiously. "Are you saying that Mo Wuji assassinated both Su Xi and Yuan Yi of the Mediation Nunnery all for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp?" Someone exclaimed astonishingly. The man sighed, "I wasn¡¯t the one who said it but everyone knew that Mo Wuji was so vicious that he wouldn¡¯t even let an adorable and innocent girl like Su Xi off all because of the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. We could still forget about it if he simply snatched away the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp but why must he kill the girl?" "This matter was indeed true because I¡¯ve also heard that Mo Wuji killed both Su Xi and her master over the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp," Yet another person commented. At the corner of the hall, a woman grabbed the wine flask in her hands as her face turned pale. She would absolutely not believe that Mo Wuji would do such things because nobody knew Mo Wuji¡¯s character better than she did. If it wasn¡¯t for Mo Wuji, she, Han Qingru, would have perished a long time ago. She didn¡¯t dare to step out to speak for Mo Wuji because she knew that if she did so, a puny Golden Immortal rogue cultivator like herself might be eaten alive leaving not even the bones. "I still don¡¯t believe these rumours because I¡¯ve interacted with Senior Mo and I know that he is definitely not such a person," A voice suddenly interjected everyone¡¯s discussions. Just as the man telling the story was about to act out violently, he stopped in his tracks and shut his mouth when he saw who the person interrupting them was. Who was he kidding? The woman in front of him was Shen Muqing of the Floating Flower Immortal Valley. He was merely a tiny ant when compared to an expert of the Floating Flower Immortal Valley. The man didn¡¯t dare to talk back to Shen Muqing didn¡¯t mean that others didn¡¯t dare. A similarly icy cold voice interrupted Shen Muqing¡¯s words, "It is your problem if you don¡¯t believe but it didn¡¯t mean that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t do such things." The person speaking was also a woman and this woman looked soldierly and beautiful while the energy exuding from her was vast and boundless. In fact, she was even much stronger than Shen Muqing. Shen Muqing wrinkled her delicate brows because she recognised this person, Ao Yulu, a disciple of the Dragon Clan. After the Dragon Clan was rinsed in a blood bath by someone in the West Moat Ocean, all the disciples of the Dragon Clan scattered all across the world and they were not too different from a rogue cultivator. Despite so, nobody dared to look down on a disciple of the Dragon Clan because the Dragon Clan didn¡¯t only originate from the West Moat Ocean. "Senior Sister Yulu, it is sometimes best if we don¡¯t jump to conclusions about things we didn¡¯t witness personally. Senior Brother Mo is straightforward and upright and I¡¯ve seen his character which was why I know he is definitely not a despicable and nasty person," Shen Muqing said calmly. "Haha, straightforward and upright¡­" Ao Yulu started laughing hysterically but there were only hatred in her eyes. "Shen Muqing, if someone were to slaughter your entire family and sect, would you still call him straightforward and upright? Would you still think that the person is not nasty and despicable?" Shen Muqing furrowed her brows even more, "Senior Sister Yulu, I am indeed sorry for the misfortune at the West Moat Ocean but what was Senior Brother Mo¡¯s cultivation level back then? You have to state facts if you¡¯re trying to make a point." Ao Yulu said word by word, "Everything I¡¯ve said are facts because back when my West Moat Ocean was exterminated, I had just returned. I personally saw a fresh blood covered Mo Wuji walking out from the transfer array of the West Moat Ocean and that particular transfer array was towards the encampment of my sect. Moreover, the blood on his body were all fresh blood of the disciples of my Dragon Clan because I would never be able to forget that energy in the air." Ao Yulu was indeed unable to forget Mo Wuji even though she didn¡¯t know that the person she saw back then was Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation might be low but he was after all still a Tier 7 Pill Emperor and relying on just his status alone, he was already famous across the entire seven immortal domains. Even if she didn¡¯t wish to find out that was Mo Wuji, it wasn¡¯t possible because of the news about him. Also because she found out that the person who walked out of the Dragon Clan with a body stained with the blood of the Dragon Clan¡¯s disciples was Mo Wuji, she swore to find Mo Wuji and avenge her clan. Shen Muqing didn¡¯t say anything and even though she didn¡¯t witness any of this, she suspected that there must be a reason. However, now that Ao Yulu had witnessed it with her own eyes while she didn¡¯t, there was simply no basis for her to rebut. "Yes, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level might be low but he is still a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. It is definitely logical for a Tier 7 Pill Emperor to hire others to exterminate my Dragon Clan. Moreover, a Tier 7 Pill Emperor could also make use of poison. Shen Muqing, do you still think that Mo Wuji had nothing to do with the incident of my Dragon Clan?" Ao Yulu said while clenching her teeth. If Mo Wuji were to hear of all these, he would feel so accused. Back then, not only did he not kill any member of the Dragon Clan, he even saved two fishes who escaped the net. Additionally, he only became a Tier 7 Pill Emperor some time later. Back when he was at the West Moat Ocean, he was still far from becoming a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. "I also believe that Pill Master Mo is vicious, malicious and ruthless. Back when the Mirage Mountain was trying to capture Mo Wuji, didn¡¯t they mention that he was perverse and didn¡¯t he obliterated the Mirage Mountain of the cultivation world too? What else could a person like him not do?" "Ai, he was simply too brutal. To think he would kill a benefactor, a small girl and even use unscrupulously methods all for his cultivation. No wonder he was able to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor at such a young age. His status as a Tier 7 Pill Emperor was actually the accumulation of fresh blood of innocent people." "Heng, if that person was here now, even if I, Li Rong, is not his match, I would attack him too. Why did I embark on my cultivation journey? Immortal Dao is still the Justice Dao and the Immortal World is only so corrupted because of a rubbish like that man." ¡­ The discussions in the hall was relentless and unending and Mo Wuji had already turned into a figurehead of evil. He became the first villain in the Immortal World and all these people in discussions were suddenly the incarnations of justice. Afterwards, rumours of Mo Wuji f*cking his junior sisters, Mo Wuji killing his own mentor because of a legacy, Mo Wuji cultivating using the primordial spirit of other cultivators and other ridiculous stories started popping up everywhere. Han Qingru forced her urge to explain everything as she made her decision to visit the Gods Immortal Domain. Even though the path to the Gods Immortal Domain would be unimaginable for a mere Golden Immortal like herself, it wouldn¡¯t be enough of a reason to stop her from finding Mo Wuji. She still believed that Mo Wuji was not a person like this and at this point in time, Mo Wuji would need his friends with him. As for the few of them whom he considered friends, they hadn¡¯t been of much help to him after entering the Immortal World. She was certain that these rumours would definitely be spreading beyond the Ding Po Immortal City and even across the entire Immortal World. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was palpating with fear at the sight of a small piece of broken knife blade. If he wasn¡¯t proficient in array dao, he would have fallen. This broken knife blade contained an immense energy of a sacred art which Mo Wuji didn¡¯t notice. He picked the knife blade and noticed a hidden array rune before letting it go immediately. Who would have thought that a broken magic treasure would be a trap in the immortal sealing array? After a huge war, wouldn¡¯t it be normal for there to be broken pieces lying around? This was simply too frightening and Mo Wuji made his decision to not pick up anything from now till he got out of here. This included the five elemental bead. At the thought of this, he really did see a bead. The bead was as big as two fists as its entire body was exuding a faint water energy. Chapter 658: Immortal Physique Level 3 and Remnant Chasm Chapter 658: Immortal Physique Level 3 and Remnant Chasm Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations To Mo Wuji, if there was anything more appealing than being a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, it would definitely be the five elemental beads. There was clearly a Water Elemental Bead right in front of his eyes and if Mo Wuji were to find this bead in any other place, he would do everything in his might to obtain this bead. However, Mo Wuji dared not touch this particular Water Elemental Bead in this particular place. He was inside the immortal sealing array and in fact, just as he thought of the five elemental beads, the Water Elemental Bead appeared. This made Mo Wuji wary that he could be within an illusionary array. Even if there were no illusionary array around, Mo Wuji would still not dare to take this Water Elemental Bead away from here. Not daring to take was one matter and the appeal of the Water Elemental Bead was another matter. Even though he knew that he shouldn¡¯t bring this Water Elemental Bead away, Mo Wuji still used his spiritual eye to observe it. After observing it for over one hour, Mo Wuji was certain that there was no traps laid on this Water Elemental Bead. The initially resolute Mo Wuji started to be tempted yet again because once he obtained the Water Elemental Bead, his Undying World would have water and it would be one step closer to perfection. After a long while, Mo Wuji sighed once more because he was simply too weak. This meant that even if there were traps, he might not be strong enough to realise it. The most fearful thing about the human nature would be greed. It wouldn¡¯t matter how many five elemental beads he could obtain if he were to lose his life or was stuck in the immortal sealing array forever. After letting out a faint breath of air, Mo Wuji stopped looking at it without hesitation as he started to search for his way out. Regardless whether or not the Water Elemental Bead was real, he didn¡¯t want it anymore. One would definitely have to struggle throughout his journey of cultivation but it should be only within his means. If one had less than 0.5% chance of succeeding, it would be considered trying to defy death brainlessly. After a few moments, Mo Wuji suddenly felt that his mental state was much wider now and his thoughts were much clearer. At this moment, he was 100% certain that he could charge into the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Greed could really deceive and obstruct the mind from further progression. After a few hours, the Water Elemental Bead was no longer in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. Mo Wuji had his spiritual eye and with the slight use of his spirit storage channel, he was still able to move gradually according to the direction stated on the Universal Peak Token. Mo Wuji dared not deviate from the stated direction because the grade of the immortal sealing array was simply too high. Without the Universal Peak Token, he could forget about leaving this place. Now that he had the Universal Peak Token, he would definitely not waste his only chance to get out of here recklessly. Just like that, Mo Wuji had been walking for over one year as he finally heaved a sigh of relief while walking out from the two massive swords. Looking back at the vast and hazy immortal sealing array, Mo Wuji still had lingering fears. He was able to escape from the immortal sealing array only because of luck, Universal Peak Token and his own spiritual eye. An ant like him was never supposed to enter such a huge array. Back then, that equipment spirit old man clearly didn¡¯t care whether Mo Wuji live or die when he asked him to enter the immortal sealing array to rescue Ji Li. Mo Wuji would never have agreed to the deal so casually if he had known how terrifying this peak grade array was. However, even Mo Wuji had some rewards while being trapped in the immortal sealing array for over a year. Firstly, he had reached a point where he could advance into a Grand Luo Immortal anytime now. Secondly, he had much deeper understanding towards array dao. He was confident that one day, he would be able to rely on his own ability to enter and exit this immortal sealing array easily. Perhaps, there would be a day where he could set up such a massive array too. The Gods Tower had long been closed so even Mo Wuji was self aware that he would no longer be able to be transported out. However, Mo Wuji still felt glad because staying elsewhere in the Gods Tower was much better than staying within the immortal sealing array. At least he could move freely from time to time and was even able to cultivate as he please. If he was stuck in the immortal sealing array, it would be equivalent to waiting for his death. 16 days later, Mo Wuji managed to advance successfully into the Grand Luo Immortal Stage at the entrance of the 18th and 17th level. Just like when he advanced into the Grand Zhi Immortal, he didn¡¯t ignite any lightning tribulation. Mo Wuji had already searched through the entire 18th and 17th level but he didn¡¯t find any immortal herbs or broken pieces of magic treasures. After one month, Mo Wuji reached the first level of the immortal sealing array. Mo Wuji had already made plans to cultivate till he reached the Immortal King Stage if he couldn¡¯t find any exit on the first level. Once he reached the Immortal King Stage, he would start brainstorming for ideas to get out of here. What made Mo Wuji extremely surprised was that after reaching the first level of the Gods Tower, a path appeared on the Universal Peak Token and this path clearly indicated the existence of one more level below the first level. Whether it was true or not, Mo Wuji still left a water crystal guide ball on the first level. If Ji Li was capable enough to leave the immortal sealing array, she would be able to follow the path down too. One day later, Mo Wuji managed to appear mysteriously at the Gods Immortal Chasm. As he looked back, there was no longer the Gods Tower in sight. All he recalled was that after following the path indicated on the Universal Peak Token, he reached the end and his body suddenly felt weightless. Before he realised anything, he was already at the Gods Immortal Chasm. Just as Mo Wuji was trying to recall if there was transfer array on the first level of the Gods Tower, loud intense sound could be heard from above his head. In the next moment, an immense lightning bolt surged towards Mo Wuji. This was not the first time Mo Wuji was ambushed by a lightning tribulation so the moment the lightning fell, he finally understood what was happening. When he advanced to the Grand Zhi and Grand Luo Immortal Stage, he wasn¡¯t met with any lightning but the moment he left the Gods Tower, the lightning tribulations came to ask for their debts. If he hadn¡¯t tempered his body before, Mo Wuji would definitely draw out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd and then absorbed the lightning source of the tribulation to weaken the lightning bolts. Presently, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he took out the Void Nirvana Root and at this moment, his physique was extremely close to becoming an Immortal Physique. It would be the best case scenario if he was able to make use of the Void Nirvana Root to transform his physique into the next level while undergoing the lightning tribulation. "Boom boom boom!" The first wave had about 10 continuous lightning bolts striking Mo Wuji as the suspended Void Nirvana Root started to dissolve under Mo Wuji¡¯s physique tempering technique. Purple fog started to permeate out of the Void Nirvana Root before being absorbed completely by Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Even though there were no changes to Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level, the energy exuded from his body was continually strengthening while his fleshly physique was also constantly becoming stronger. Initially, there were still traces of fresh blood and scars when the lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji. Towards the end, the lightning bolts were only able to leave behind black scars on Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Mo Wuji¡¯s bones were starting to produce the ¡®kaka¡¯ sounds as if it was all breaking apart as well as forming back together. Even his blood was continuously boiling inside while some impurities were being disposed out of his body. Eventually, even his meridians were starting to transform, expand¡­ The combined tribulation of the Grand Zhi and Grand Luo Immortal Stage descended onto Mo Wuji and its might was incredibly powerful unlike any of the previous tribulation. These series of lightnings were relentless and unending. The good thing was that Mo Wuji was undergoing this tribulation in the Gods Immortal Chasm. The Gods Immortal Chasm was shrouded in dense fog all year round so even if there was such a huge activity going on, nobody would actually notice it. After an entire day of lightning tribulation, it finally subsided. Mo Wuji¡¯s clothings had already been burnt crisp while the Void Nirvana Root had disappeared completely. The surging energy within the body finally calmed down while his bones became much tougher. An energy surged from within his bones up to his mind and Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. Presently, his body was tending towards perfection and after a round of physique tempering, he was starting to look more like himself back on earth. It was only up till today that Mo Wuji might finally have a method to protect himself. Mo Wuji¡¯s physique tempering was aided by the ancient witch race¡¯s method but the majority of his technique was carved and polished up by himself. He divided his immortal physique into nine levels and after the use of the Void Nirvana Root, Mo Wuji felt that his body was at least in the Immortal Physique Level 3. In fact, not many Immortal Emperors would have a physique much stronger than Mo Wuji¡¯s physique presently. In the Immortal World, not many Immortal Emperor would temper their physique because they only cultivated their primordial spirit which was why most of their physique would never come close to Mo Wuji¡¯s. It wasn¡¯t because these Immortal Emperors didn¡¯t know about the advantages of physique tempering but because it was simply too difficult. The first difficulty would be finding time because cultivation itself would already take up 90% of their time so how were they supposed to find time to temper their physique? Additionally, immortal don¡¯t only focus on cultivation dao because with their spare time, even if they didn¡¯t learn pill or equipment dao, they would be occupied with array dao too. Secondly, techniques need to get on each other. Some peak grade technique would clash with the tempering of the physique so between these two, most cultivators had to choose one. The third difficulty would be the in finding resources. If not for the Void Nirvana Root, Mo Wuji would have to use the Undying Holy Bamboo. Using the Undying Holy Bamboo would result in his physique being one level weaker. Mo Wuji satisfyingly executed the clear water technique to clean himself him up before changing to a new set of clothes. To be able to advance into the Grand Luo Immortal Stage and Immortal Physique Level 3, why would he not be satisfied? He believed that his greatest reward this time round was not the chance to enter the Gods Tower but the Void Nirvana Root. Just as he was about contact Su Xi, yet another insight rushed up to his mind. As he opened up his palm, the Half Moon Weighted Halberd landed in his hand. Mo Wuji stood within the Gods Immortal Chasm as the Half Moon Weighted Halberd in his hand hacked an arc in space. "Kaka!" The space produced sound of explosions and a 100 feet clear and long halberd scar was hacked out in space by Mo Wuji. This halberd scar didn¡¯t scatter and after a few breaths, this halberd scar became even clearer than before. The killing intent from within was like a germinating seed as it suddenly rose up and rings and rings of ripples started spreading out. "Boom boom boom!" The spreading halberd scar killing intent struck several trash around the area and these trash in the Gods Immortal Chasm turned into nothingness the instance it was struck. Mo Wuji stared shockingly at the ripples of killing intent brought along by the halberd and he completely understood what was going on. His halberd shadow was actually able to leave behind killing intent and the instance the opponent was unfocused, the opponent would be hurt by the killing intent of the remnants left behind by his halberd. Other than this, this weapon would be best used to mass kill. The ripple like halberd intent could almost spread to outside of his domain. This halberd should be affected by the influence of the killing intent left behind by the ancient experts in the Gods Tower. After going through the details of the Dao Revelation Channel after advancing into the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, he would naturally be able to form his own killer move. In the future, this shall be called the Remnant Chasm because it was able to hack the Heavenly Chasm apart and leave behind killing intent. When this Remnant Chasm¡¯s energy reached the third dao, it wouldn¡¯t lose to his Setting Sun. Chapter 659: Location Revealed Chapter 659: Location Revealed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A day later, Mo Wuji left Gods Heavenly Chasm worriedly. He had sent over ten messages to Su Xi, but he never received a single reply. He understood Su Xi, that young nun. If nothing had happened, she would definitely have replied him immediately, Did this mean that Su Xi¡¯s disguise had been seen through, and something had happened to her? The more Mo Wuji thought about it, the more likely he felt it was. The Dry Wimple Pill was not bad, but the people that had their eyes on them weren¡¯t bad either. In fact, there were a few Grand Emperors among them. Perhaps the Dry Wimple Pill might fool the unattentive eye. However, if a serious investigation was conducted, then the Dry Wimple Pill¡¯s disguise could have been exposed. When Mo Wuji thought about how Su Xi might have been taken away by the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, his heart immediately started to burn with anxiety. The monks of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect weren¡¯t benevolent and befitting of their title. If Su Xi were to end up in their hands, then things wouldn¡¯t bode well for her. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji urgently rushed towards Heavenly Chasm City. If the Great Kun Buddhist Sect got hold of Su Xi, then there would definitely be some news about it in Heavenly Chasm City. Compared to when the Gods Tower was about to open, Heavenly Chasm City wasn¡¯t as crowded. However, it was still bustling with activity. At this instant, Mo Wuji was disguised as a middle-aged rogue cultivator. The moment he reached the city, he immediately headed to the nearest resthouse. For such matters, it was most suitable for him to obtain information from resthouses. Right when Mo Wuji entered Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s gates, a short man with a rogue cultivator hat on his head stood up. He stared coldly at Mo Wuji¡¯s disappearing figure as he gritted his teeth and said, "Mo, this old man just knew that you would return to Heavenly Chasm City. Do you think that I, Tai Shixiao, will simply let you go after you took my thing? Stop dreaming. This old man can¡¯t beat you, but I definitely won¡¯t make things simple for you." On his forehead, he actually had a spiritual eye similar to Mo Wuji¡¯s. However, his spiritual eye only flashed briefly before it disappeared. Mo Wuji really guessed it right; those Heavenly Desolate Grass and the Void Nirvana Root were indeed left behind by Tai Shixiao. Tai Shixao had two unique capabilities; they were his sense of smell and premonition. Don¡¯t simply look at the fact that Mo Wuji had left that void place for quite some time; the moment Tai Shixiao returned to that void place, he immediately knew that the person who took his stuff was Mo Wuji. To him, that Void Nirvana Root was his greatest fortune. Now that his greatest fortune had been robbed by Mo Wuji, how could he simply let it go? Ever since the Gods Tower closed, he had been waiting here for Mo Wuji. He was sure that after Mo Wuji left Gods Tower, he would definitely make a trip to Heavenly Chasm City. This was his instinct and premonition. Eventually, Mo Wuji had been trapped within the immortal sealing array, and didn¡¯t emerge for more than a year. However, this Tai Shixiao was truly too patient; he actually spent more than a year waiting for Mo Wuji. Originally, he had planned to ambush Mo Wuji after Mo Wuji left Heavenly Chasm City. As long as Mo Wuji didn¡¯t take out his immortal puppet, he would be able to take back his things after successfully ambushing Mo Wuji. But today, he felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s power had already vastly exceeded his. He decisively gave up on his idea of an ambush, and he even gave up on his Void Nirvana Root. He could tell that if he were to fight with Mo Wuji, he would definitely die. He could not deal with Mo Wuji, but there were others who could. He, Tai Shixiao, definitely wasn¡¯t the kind to simply swallow his grudges. An hour later, Mo Wuji emerged from an immortal resthouse. The look of worry on his face did not diminish. Su Xi hadn¡¯t been discovered, but this did not mean that Su Xi was safe. It was possible that Su Xi didn¡¯t even emerge from Gods Tower. Now, he was completely helpless regarding Su Xi¡¯s matter. Mo Wuji decided to make a trip to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. After all, that was the site of his first business. He wanted to make a detailed inquiry about whether there were any survivors after Lun Cai destroyed his Tian Ji Pill Court. There were very few transfer arrays from Heavenly Chasm City to the other Immortal Domains. There was only one transfer array, and it was built only three years ago. Actually, this transfer array was related to Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji entered Gods Tower, Vast Ocean Immortal School and the Great Sword Path joined hands to provide the resources to build this transfer array from Da Yi Immortal City to Heavenly Chasm City. Da Yi Immortal City was situated on the edge of Zero Heaven Immortal Domain. By constructing a transfer array from Da Yi Immortal City to Heavenly Chasm City, it could shorten the journey from the other Immortal Domains to Gods Immortal Domain. If not for this transfer array, Mo Wuji would have to use his flying shuttle to slowly make his way to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Now, he could first transfer to Da Yi Immortal City, then take another transfer array from Da Yi Immortal City. This way, he would save a few months of his time. Because this was the only array in Heavenly Chasm City that led to other Immortal Domains, this transfer array was constantly brimming with people. After Mo Wuji purchased the transfer tickets, he could only queue and wait. Unbeknownst to Mo Wuji, as he was queuing, a pair of eyes were fixed on him. At the same time, his location had already been revealed. ¡­ Da Yi Immortal City was originally an ordinary, intermediate grade immortal city. But every since a transfer array had been erected from the city to Gods Immortal Domain, this place had gradually gotten lively, and it had the momentum to develop and become a high grade immortal city. Eight Point Immortal Resthouse, one of the three biggest immortal resthouses in Da Yi Immortal City. A woman in the resthouse¡¯s attendant uniform was carefully serving a jar of immortal wine. This woman looked ordinary. In reality, a few people of higher cultivation could tell that she had slightly changed her appearance. However, this matter was too trivial. Even if they knew that an attendant had altered her appearance, no one would really care about it. This woman was Han Qingru. She was heading towards to Heavenly Chasm City, but when she arrived at Da Yi Immortal City, she found that she didn¡¯t have enough immortal crystals to afford the transfer array. And with her power, it would be far too dangerous for her to fly to Heavenly Chasm City. Even if things go smoothly, she would have to take many years to actually reach her destination. Thus, she applied for a job at Eight Point Immortal Resthouse. On one hand, she could earn immortal crystals as an attendant. On the other hand, she could obtain news about Mo Wuji while in the resthouse. Han Qingru was serious and meticulous, and she was also very observant. She was soon able to obtain the acknowledgment of the resthouse. As a result, she was trusted to serve some of the primary, private rooms. Today, she was serving two immortal array masters in a private room. Han Qingru was rather compliant with her deacon¡¯s instructions. Her deacon had instructed her to be careful, and to not displease the customers. With the gourd of wine in her hands, Han Qingru interacted with the seal on the private room. The seals were released, and two men were seated within the private room. On the left, there was a man in grey robes with some spots on his face. Onm the right, there was a relatively short man, and he seemed like a lively person. Han Qingru first bowed towards them, but before she could place the wine on the table, a flying messenger sword whizzed over. Han Qingru hurriedly dodged to the side and the short and fat man received the flying sword. He only scanned it briefly with his spiritual will before a smile emerged on his face and he stood up, "Brother Yu, that Mo Wuji will soon be coming to Da Yi Immortal City. The Great Sword Path and Vast Ocean Immortal School have invited us to take part in the instalment of the grand immortal jar array... Er, you can take your leave first. There¡¯s nothing left for you here." As he was speaking, that short and fat man suddenly recalled Han Qingru¡¯s presence, and he immediately waved his hand towards Han Qingru. "Yes." Han Qingru suppressed the anxiety in her heart as she placed the wine gourd down and slowly walked out of the room. However, she did not reactivate the soundproof seals. Not only that, she walked especially slowly. Fortunately, the two of them didn¡¯t care about this mere attendant. That grey robed man said doubtfully, "Will we make it in time?" "It¡¯s not as if you don¡¯t know how long one would have to wait at Heavenly Chasm City¡¯s transfer array. It would take at least two hours. That Mo Wuji is cunning and sly, and he even has an Immortal Emperor level puppet with him. It would be hard to prevent him from leaving. Only by luring him into the grand immortal jar array, wouldn''t things go smoothly? Moreover, according to the flying messenger sword, the person heading the installment of the grand immortal jar array is Seven Tune Array Path¡¯s grand array master, Senior Nuo Yi. If we participate in this installment, not only would we gain some pointers from Senior Nuo Yi, we would also receive great remunerations. Not only that, if we can help to catch that evil-doer, Mo Wuji, it would be great for our reputation," That short and fat man chuckled and said. Han Qingru¡¯s back was already drenched in cold sweat. Unfortunately, she had no means of contacting Mo Wuji. She had heard of that grand immortal jar array before. Even if a stronger person was trapped in the grand immortal jar array, he would become the turtle in the jar, and have no means of escape. Moreover, there were many experts overseeing the array. Even if Mo Wuji had some heaven-exceeding power, he would definitely die if he was lured into the grand immortal jar array. Even though the transfer array between Da Yi Immortal City and Heavenly Chasm City was outside the city, if Mo Wuji were to come here, he would definitely step into Da Yi Immortal City¡¯s city gates. Even though Han Qingru didn¡¯t know much about arrays, she could guess that Da Yi Immortal City would be the jar of the grand immortal jar array. As long as Mo Wuji stepped in Da Yi Immortal City, it would be equivalent to stepping into the grand immortal jar array. Moreover, by setting Da Yi Immortal City as the grand immortal jar array¡¯s jar, it would not arouse Mo Wuji¡¯s suspicion. After all, it was typical for an immortal city to be protected by all sorts of arrays. Which immortal city didn¡¯t have arrays? But she was merely a Golden Immortal. What could she do? The more she thought about it, she more she felt her hands turning weak. She didn¡¯t know how Mo Wuji could have revealed his location. ¡­ At the same time, ten beams of light descended outside Da Yi Immortal City. A cultivator with an oppressive aura swiftly descended from a flying ship. Da Yi Immortal City¡¯s Castellan Wu Teng was personally standing at the entrance of the city. Such a huge event was going to happen in Da Yi Immortal City, how could he not know about it? As for the grand immortal jar array that Vast Ocean Immortal School, Great Sword Path, and Lightning Sect wish to build in his Da Yi Immortal City, he was showing his wholehearted support. Mo Wuji was an evil-doer that even dared to kill Immortal Emperors. A tiny castellan like him couldn¡¯t afford to offend Mo Wuji. However, he was even more worried about offending huge powers like the Great Sword Path, Vast Ocean Immortal School and Lightning Sect. Soon, he saw ten experts walk speed towards his city gate. Wu Teng hurriedly stood forward and bowed, "Da Yi Immortal City Wu Teng greets Elder Lei, Elder Jin, Sect Head Yi and Senior Nuo Yi." Lei Guyun, Jin Yusheng, and Yi Minghu were indeed Grand Immortals. However, Nuo Yi¡¯s reputation was no lower than theirs. Nuo Yi was the number one array expert in Seven Tune Array Path. When it came to status, he was only below a person like Xu Suren. Only a coalition of the Lightning Sect, Great Sword Path, and Vast Ocean Immortal School can invite such an expert in such a short period of time. Chapter 660: Why? Chapter 660: Why? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji stood up. According to the number of people in front of him, it would take roughly half an incense¡¯s time till it was his turn. To a cultivator, half an incense¡¯s time was simply negligible. However, Mo Wuji could not help but feel a tugging on his heart; it seemed as though someone was watching him. But after scanning the entire hall with his spiritual will, he verified that no one was watching him. Could he have advanced too rapidly, and his state of his heart was left unstable? But after he gave up on the Water Elemental Bead, his mental state clearly improved. However, there was no other reason why he would feel so uneasy. Mo Wuji had absolute confidence in his Dry Wimple Pill. The only possibility was that a Grand Emperor was especially staring at him, and it was not a simple Grand Emperor at that. However, Mo Wuji immediately shook his head. Even if a Grand Emperor was staring at him, how could he tell that he was Mo Wuji? It could only be possible if the other party had a spiritual eye or some other special method. But how could there be such a coincidental situation? Even though he had a spiritual eye, it could only work after it was condensed. Mo Wuji forcefully calmed himself down. Regardless of what happened, he was prepared. "Can the people behind please enter the transfer array¡­" The cultivator controlling the transfer array announced. Mo Wuji knew that his turn had come. He followed a few cultivators and walked into the transfer array. The transfer array between Heavenly Chasm City and Da Yi Immortal City was considered a long-range transfer array. Even with Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation, he felt some slight discomfort. However, this transfer array¡¯s speed was quite fast. In a mere ten breaths of time, Mo Wuji could feel his feet touching the ground. He knew that he had already arrived at Da Yi Immortal City¡¯s transfer array. Da Yi Immortal City¡¯s transfer array was constructed outside the city. The main reason was that of the huge flow of human traffic which would make things very messy in the city. The moment Mo Wuji left the transfer array, his feeling of unease became more apparent. He lifted his head to see Da Yi¡¯s city gates, and he was slightly filled with doubt. He had never come to Da Yi Immortal City before, but this place seemed incomparably calm. But no matter what, he would need to enter Da Yi Immortal City to get to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Mo Wuji shook his head. Perhaps he was being too sensitive. Even if an Immortal Emperor dealt with him, so what? As long as he took Da Huang out, he could roam freely within a place like Da Yi Immortal City. What¡¯s there to worry about? As Mo Wuji thought of this, his heart seemed to calm significantly. His previous unease also seemed to gradually disappear. Ever since Da Yi Immortal City had this transfer array towards Heavenly Chasm City, it was constantly filled with a huge flow of cultivators. Mo Wuji squeezed into Da Yi Immortal City among the crowd. Nothing seemed out of place. A woman in a green dress was slowly walking out of the city with a haggard expression on her face. Even though this woman looked slightly haggard, her gorgeous features soon attracted the gaze of many in the crowd. The woman seemed to be engrossed in thought as she walked listlessly. Even if she didn¡¯t want to be noticed, it was impossible. A gorgeous beauty with only a Golden Immortal cultivation was walking within the crowd so conspicuously. Some cultivators with a higher cultivation already formed intentions to hit on her. As Mo Wuji was walking towards the city gate, the first thing he saw was naturally this green dressed woman. Han Qingru? Mo Wuji paused. He didn¡¯t expect to see Han Qingru in a fringe city like Da Yi Immortal City. What was Han Qingru doing here? "Senior Sister Qingru, what are you doing here?" Mo Wuji hurriedly walked in front of Han Qingru. At the same time, he transmitted a message to Han Qingru, informing her that he was Mo Wuji. Previously, she intended to tell Mo Wuji to flee the moment she saw him. But when Mo Wuji approached her, she knew that she had been too naive. A spiritual will had soundlessly enveloped her body. If she dared to tell Mo Wuji to flee, she might not even be able to utter a word before she got crushed by that spiritual will. Han Qingru took in a deep breath. She was still grateful to Mo Wuji for giving her so many immortal lattice stones to condense her immortal lattice. Even though her cultivation speed wasn¡¯t the fastest, her dao will was much stronger than other cultivators at the same stage. Other Golden Immortals might not be able to detect this sort of immaterial spiritual will, but she was able to feel it clearly. Han Qingru swiftly retreated a few steps, widening the gap between her and Mo Wuji. At the same time, she raised her hand, pointed at Mo Wuji and shouted angrily, "Mo Wuji, you ungrateful, maniacal b*stard. Just for some magic treasures, you killed your benefactors and murdered the innocent. I must have been blind to know a person like you. Everyone, come. This person ios Mo Wuji. It¡¯s that heartless Pill Master Mo. He is currently in disguise¡­" In that short period of time, Han Qingru blurted all these words. After she said those words, her back became drenched in cold sweat. She knew that that strand of spiritual will had shifted away from her body. Perhaps it was because she spoke too quickly, or perhaps it was because that spiritual will knew that killing her would only alarm Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji? The Immortal World¡¯s number one villain? In the Immortal World, you might not know all the Grand Emperors. You might not know of Xu Suren, and you might not even know who were the Heavenly Emperors of the various Immortal Domains. But in the Immortal World, no one didn¡¯t know the number one villain. It was Mo Wuji - the heartless and maniacal person. He killed Ling Lunan, the person that saved him. For the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, he killed the master-disciple pair from Meditation Nunnery. For a treasure of the dragon race, he sent his companion to slaughter the dragon race. It had even been revealed that the companion was the Cape of Peace¡¯s Zhuo Pingan. Such a notorious person had actually appeared outside Da Yi immortal City. Some of the cultivators that were beside Mo Wuji hurriedly moved to the side as they wielded their magic treasures and stared at Mo Wuji warily. ¡­ "Pa!" Sitting at the resthouse right in front of the city gates, Yi Minghu slammed the wine gourd in his hand to the ground. "Who¡¯s that woman? She actually dared to reveal Mo Wuji¡¯s identity?" Yi Minghu¡¯s eyes seemed to be burning in fury. Ten more meters. Just ten more meters and Mo Wuji would have walked into Da Yi Immortal City. Even if he was a photon, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. But within this ten meters, he was actually stopped. If he was an average cultivator, then so be it. But was Mo Wuji an average cultivator? If he didn¡¯t enter the grand immortal jar array, no one would dare say with certainty that he could capture Mo Wuji. "We¡¯ve already managed to find out about her. That woman is called Han Qingru. She got acquainted with Mo Wuji back in the Corner of Yong Ying. But after they ascended into the Immortal World, the two of them were no longer in contact. In just a little more than ten breaths of time, information about the relationship between Han Qingru and Mo Wuji had already ended in Yi Minghu;s hands. In reality, any news of Mo Wuji had already been investigated previously. Now that Han Qingru had stopped Mo Wuji with her original appearance, she was easily recognised. "This woman is blocking Mo Wuji from entering Da Yi Immortal City?" Lei Guyun¡¯s voice was slightly vicious. Lightning Sect¡¯s number one Immortal Emperor had already been killed by Mo Wuji. Unless he killed Mo Wuji, he would never rest. Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Elder Jin Yusheng was also a Grand Emperor. He wasn¡¯t as hot-tempered as Lei Guyun. Instead, he was slightly gloomy. When he heard Yi Minghu¡¯s and Lei Guyun¡¯s words, he shook his head, "I¡¯m afraid this might not be the case." Seeing everyone¡¯s eyes turn towards him, Jin Yusheng said calmly, "Everyone, think about it carefully. When did we join hands to install the grand immortal jar array? It was not more than four hours ago. Who is this Han Qingru? She is merely a Golden Immortal, how could she know about such matters?" "I understand. I just crushed my own feet while trying to move a rock." Yi Minghu rubbed his glabella as he said speechlessly. Yu Jinsheng nodded, "Brother Minghu was right. Now, who has the worst reputation in the Immortal World? It¡¯s Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji killed his benefactor, Su Xi - that cute nun, and even the dragon race. Even though an expert like Grand Emperor Lun Cai requested him for help, he would rather see Lun Cai¡¯s concubine die than to help her. Even his friends wouldn¡¯t be willing to stay with such a person. It was as Brother Minghu had said previously. Such a person no longer has a foothold in the Immortal World." The fact that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a foothold in the Immortal World was exactly orchestrated by Yi Minghu. Back when they found out that Mo Wuji had escaped by himself, he started to gather all of Mo Wuji¡¯s information and started to splash dirty water all over him. It could be said that no one in the Immortal World was willing to claim to be friends with Mo Wujil. Han Qingru¡¯s reaction was actually within reason. After saying this, Jin Yusheng paused slightly before saying, "So, I think that after Mo Wuji kills all those ants outside, he would still walk into Da Yi Immortal City. Such a person is maniacal with no limits. He definitely wouldn¡¯t place Da Yi Immortal City in his eyes. So we should not do anything unnecessarily, and alarm him." "Brother Jin is right. We will continue waiting. If that Mo Wuji really doesn¡¯t come into Da Yi Immortal City, then we will immediately employ our Plan B." Yi Minghu nodded. Da Yi Immortal City was right at the edge of the Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji had the help of his immortal puppet. If they alarmed him, he might actually escape. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned cold. He stopped and stared calmly at Han Qingru. In his previous life, he had been plotted against by his love. How could such a thing happen again? Even though he didn¡¯t believe that Han Qingru was such a person, the reality was already presented right in front of him. Moreover, he had a slight inkling of his current reputation. Back in Heavenly Chasm City, he could faintly detect that someone had splashed dirty water all over his name. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really care if his opponents splashed dirty water over him. But Han Qingru was directly exposing his identity. This really caused his heart to turn cold. From whatever perspective, he hadn¡¯t done Han Qingru anything wrong. In fact, Han Qingru was the one who owed him, not the other way round. But today, he had seen the second Xia Ruoyin; he had seen the second woman to harm him. Even though Han Qingru wasn¡¯t his dao companion, she was his trusted friend. Their relationship was even similar to that of siblings; how was that much different from being dao companions? "Why?" Mo Wuji¡¯s hands were slightly trembling as he uttered that word again. After saying that word, the scene of Xia Ruoyin plotting against him appeared in front of his eyes. Before he died, he had also said this word. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t manage to get an answer then. Will he get an answer now? Chapter 661: The Old Monk Had Been Waiting For You For A Long Time Chapter 661: The Old Monk Had Been Waiting For You For A Long Time Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Old Monk Had Been Waiting For You For A Long Time Han Qingru pointed at Mo Wuji with a trembling finger, "Mo Wuji, I admit that I had been blind. I never thought that you would actually be such a venomous person, to even kill the person who saved you. It was already enough that you take the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. But why must you kill the innocent Su Xi? It¡¯s true that you have a grudge with Grand Emperor Lun Cai, but his concubine is innocent. Why didn¡¯t you save her?" Every single word was like a needle, stabbing deep into Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. "Right. Kill this human scum." Waves of murmurs could be heard as hundreds of cultivators surrounded Mo Wuji. Many people even prepared an escape talisman. Mo Wuji had many great treasures, but Mo Wuji also had an impressive immortal puppet. The moment Mo Wuji brought his immortal puppet out, they would quickly escape. Mo Wuji frowned slightly. Even if Han Qingru despised his character, she wouldn¡¯t behave in such a manner. It was already peculiar that she exposed him. But she had actually scolded him twice. It was true that people change, but people wouldn¡¯t change to such a degree. "Kill!" A light from a magic treasure boomed towards Mo Wuji. In the blink of an eye, Mo Wuji was bombarded by countless of attacks. Mo Wuji opened his hand and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in his palm. His domain had formed an elemental energy whirlpool; dissipating 90% of the attacks that came towards him. Boundless of halberd light slashed outwards. It didn¡¯t matter that he didn¡¯t know this people, or that this was all a misunderstanding. These people had tried to kill him, so why would he hesitate? Moreover, with his current cultivation, he didn¡¯t have the rights to hesitate. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The weighted halberd¡¯s haldberd light formed a ring of killing intent. Under this ring of killing intent, huge mists of blood formed. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally had a grasp of how strong he had bcome. Except for a few Immortal King experts, those with weaker cultivations would be damped by his whirlpool domain, then maimed or killed by his halberd light. Mo Wuji roared; the pent up depression within him had dispersed significantly. "Not good, he has advanced to the Immortal King Stage...." Someone immediately cried out. If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t an Immortal King, how could he have such a terrifying domain and killing power? A few weaker cultivators had already started to retreat. However, there were more cultivators that came to surround Mo Wuji. It was rumoured that Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. Besides the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, Mo Wuji would also have the various treasures that he obtained from Gods Tower. If they killed him, how much rewards would they get? Even though Mo Wuji was an Immortal King, that wasn¡¯t enough to deter cultivators from attacking him. Countless of people cried out for the death of Mo Wuji, the human scum. However, in the back of their minds, they were only thinking about how they could get a share of the rewards after killing Mo Wuji. As for whether Mo Wuji was a human scum, that was only something that they heard from rumours. Who actually thought that it was true? In fact, it didn¡¯t matter whether it was true. Except for a minute number of cultivators, all the cultivators were only thinking about the rewards the could get from Mo Wuji. A few Immortal Reverents swifly flew in, sealing Mo Wuji¡¯s escape path. Among which, a thin and tall man shouted harshly, "Towards a human scum like this, everyone in the Immortal World has the responsibility to kill him. I suggest that everyone joins hands to kill him; so that he would no longer plague the Immortal World. If anyone gets injured, you will be reimbursed from this person¡¯s belongings." With that simple speech, the cultivators that surrounded Mo Wuji started to have order. Everyone understood the meaning behind this thin, tall man¡¯s words. He was telling everyone that as long as they took part in the encirclement, they would have a share of the spoils. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about these people. Even without Da Huang, he could still escape easily. He only cared about Han Qingru. At this instant, he found that Han Qingru was actually slowly retreated; she even retreated close to the city entrance. "Kill!" Yet another hoarse cry. Another tens of sharp light sped towards Mo Wuji. Compared to the first attack, this attack was stronger by multiple folds. Previously, with his halberd, he had killed at least ten weaker cultivators. Now, the weaker ones had already retreated, while the strong had come forward. This instantly raised the pressure on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s expression hardened. He could finally see that something was amiss. At the edge of Da Yi Immortal City, there were signs of a newly installed array. Moreover, this array was a peak grade trap array; it even resembled the grand killing jar array. If not for his one to two years in the immortal sealing array, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have recognised this grand killing jar array. But he had been trapped in a supreme array like the immortal sealing array for more than a year. In the Immortal World, what array couldn¡¯t he, Mo Wuji, see through? Perhaps he might not be able to install it himself, but were they trying to insult his intellect with this makeshift array? He was an immortal array master that was infinitesimally close to Grade 6 after all. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart actually relaxed significantly. Indeed, he didn¡¯t misjudge Han Qingru. He would rather have been trapped by the experts in the grand immortal jar array, than to be plotted against by Han Qingru. Even though he didn¡¯t know how Han Qingry got to know of this peak grade array, he was very clear of the reason why Han Qingru had blocked him previously. He even understood why Han Qingru didn¡¯t transmit a message to him. It was because Han Qingru knew that there was a peak expert here, and any transmitted message definitely couldn¡¯t be concealed. There was also one more thing, Han Qingru didn¡¯t want to a burden to him. If she were to transmit a message to him, then he would have to bring her away. Countless of magic treasures had already started descending down towards him. Mo Wuji swept his halberd upwards. This time, he wouldn¡¯t show mercy. He directly used his sacred art - Grand Desert. "Boom!" A huge halberd light slashed outwards, then it transformed into a boundless and vast desert. Anyone that was within his Grand Desert was instantly devoured. At the same time, Mo Wuji called Da Huang out. Even if he was any stronger, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fight with Immortal Reverents. He could only leave them to Da Huang. "Bang!" Da Huang had received Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions and began to punch out without restraint. Terrifying waves of Immortal Emperor elemental energy surged outwards. With Da Huang¡¯s fierce power, neither Immortal Kings nor Immortal Reverents could remain standing. At the instant Da Huang appeared, a few Immortal Reverents that were prepared to escape realised that it was time to do so as they hurriedly retreated. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent was already sky high. How could he simply let these people who encircled him to escape? Da Huang¡¯s overbearing spatial domain had enveloped the entire area. Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert also went rampage in the area. "Pff!" Once again, blood mist started to fill the air as figure after figure fell. The cultivators that had decided to gang up against Mo Wuji, had now all seemed to have chosen to flee. Under Da Huang¡¯s domain pressure and Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert, no one below the Immortal Emperor Stage was able to withstand it. Unfortunately, there was no Immortal Emperor here. Mo Wuji had killed one to two hundred people but he didn¡¯t even suffer a single injury. "Flee!" Some lucky survivors didn¡¯t get mired within Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert and they all tried to escape. Not only didn¡¯t Mo Wuji chase after them, he turned to escape as well. In reality, Mo Wuji had another plan. As long as he charged to Da Yi¡¯s city gates and retreated immediately after grabbing Han Qingru, he had a 60% certainty that he could escape safely. However, he didn¡¯t dare to do so. Han Qingru had gone through such lengths and risks to warn him. That meant that if he dared to approach Da Yi Immortal City, Han Qingru might directly tell him the truth. If that happened, then he would be harming both of them. Not only would he harm Han Qingru, he might fall into a worse encirclement. By this time, if Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t know what was going on, then he wouldn¡¯t have lived for so long. Ever since he entered Heavenly Chasm City, he had been feeling uneasy. That meant that he had been recognised the moment he walked into Heavenly Chasm City. Moreover, it had only been half a day since he entered Heavenly Chasm City. In just half a day, such a peak grade array was installed over Da Yi Immortal City. Was this something that an average person could do? Besides the experts from Lightning Sect or Great Sword Path, who else could do this? Perhaps, they might even have joined hands. But now, there actually wasn¡¯t any Immortal Emperor expert that joined in to surround him. That meant one thing: those Immortal Emperors were constantly eyeing on him. If he didn¡¯t enter Da Yi Immortal City, then they would immediately act. Additionally, these experts were waiting for him in Da Yi. He wasn¡¯t facing any problems now. But the moment he retreated, something would definitely go down. But even if that something was huge, Mo Wuji could only retreat. At this moment, he did not dare to flee upwards. Even if he didn¡¯t look, he knew that the surrounding space would have already been sealed. Perhaps these seals might be crude and badly formed, but as long as it could delay him for even a single breath of time, then he would be screwed. Indeed, the moment Mo Wuji retreated, multiple overbearing auras shot out from Da Yi Immortal City. At the same time, multiple savage blasts of elemental energy shot towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about anything else; he held Da Huang closely and instantly teleported. Only by fleeing to the edge of Zero Heaven Immortal Domain, would he have a chance to survive. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three blasts of elemental energy landed on Mo Wuji consecutively. Even though these three blasts of elemental energy were shot from relatively far away, they were still attacks from Immortal Emperor experts. Even though Mo Wuji had a Level 3 Immortal Physique, these three blasts of elemental energy still forced him to cough out three arrows of blood. At the same time, the bones in his body emitted cracking sounds. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s instant teleportation and his Wind Escape Technique were pushed to the max. He wanted to use the shortest time possible to charge to the edge of the Immortal Domain, and enter the void. When he reached the edge of the Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji actually paused. He suddenly thought of something horrifying. If he could tell that Han Qingru was helping him, then what about these Immortal Emperors? Even if they didn¡¯t think about it immediately, after this matter ends, would they think about it then? Even though he had only paused for a breath¡¯s time, he was already enveloped by the energy of death. Mo Wuji knew that when facing these Immortal Emperors, even half a breath¡¯s time was a luxury. If he were to return, not only wouldn¡¯t he save Han Qingru, he would be placing himself in a worse predicament. His only option was to escape into space. That would also give Han Qingru some time to escape. Mo Wuji directly ignited his life force. Even though he was heavily injured, his entire body instantly disappeared from his spot. At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji vanished, three spatial forces locked onto his previous location. At the same time, a terrifying blast of elemental energy reduced that spot into nothing. "Benefactor Mo, how have you been? This old monk has been waiting for you for a long time." A warm voice could be heard. Guang Xing suddenly appeared and blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s path. He seemed to know that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t walk into Da Yi Immortal City as he stationed himself outside the Immortal Domain to wait for Mo Wuji. Chapter 662: Surrounded In The Void Chapter 662: Surrounded In The Void Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Surrounded In The Void Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He was clearer than anyone else how each single breath of time was incomparably precious to him. But it was just at this moment that he was blocked by Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Guang Xing. "Guang Xing, do you know that if I don¡¯t die today, your Great Kun Buddhist Sect and I will have an irreconcilable enmity?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was slightly cold. "Take the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp out and this old monk would let you go." Guang Xing did not even place Mo Wuji¡¯s threat in his eyes. Da Huang condensed his elemental energy and was about to attack. Mo Wuji, however, stopped Da Huang, "There¡¯s no need, Da Huang." If Da Huang¡¯s attack was going to be useful, then he wouldn¡¯t have talked nonsense just now, but simply let Da Huang attack. Even if Guang Xing was crippled, Guang Xing would still be able to delay him and Da Huang. Indeed, just as Mo Wuji¡¯s words were uttered, three waves of elemental energy rippled in the surroundings. Three figures and Guang Xing surrounded Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation was only at the early Grand Luo Immortal Stage, but his knowledge and experience was not low. He had worked with Zhuo Pingan before; so he was all too clear of a Grand Emperor¡¯s aura. The moment these three arrived, he knew that the three of them were all much more powerful than Monk Guang Xing. Clearly, there were all Grand Emperors. "Mo Wuji, if we let you go today, then I, Yi Minghu, no longer deserves to be the sect head of the Great Sword Path," An extremely graceful man with almond shaped eyes stared at Mo Wuji and said coldly. Guang Xing chuckled and chanted a name of Buddha. Then he said, "Sect Head Yi, Elder Lei, Elder Jin, this little monk has come here because I want to retrieve my Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s core, the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp¡­" "Monk, we recognise your efforts. Later, we will return the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp to you. However, this brat is cunning and sly. You better not let him escape from your direction," Yi Minghu said calmly. What was the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp? It wasn¡¯t anything useful to his Great Sword Path. It was a magic treasure of the Buddhist Dao. Keeping it would only be creating a grudge with the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Moreover, the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s roots were deep; there were no worse than his Great Sword Path. "Mo Wuji, you have commited many evil-doings, but we are not asking for your life. As long as you cripple your sea of consciousness and your spirit channels and follow us, it would be enough." Against Mo Wuji¡¯s expectations, the four didn¡¯t directly attack him after they surrounded him. Instead, it was a scholarly looking elder that tried to persuade him with kind words. Mo Wuji had the spirit storage channel and the breath scattering channel; so he was especially sensitive to any form of obscure energy. The moment the four surrounded him, he immediately felt the change in the surroundings. In that instant, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. It definitely wasn¡¯t because they feared his Da Huang, but these few fellas were secretly installing a seal around the area. There was no wonder why these three Immortal Emperors and a Quasi-Emperor would behave so idly after surrounding him. They wanted to create a congenial atmosphere, then leave him no room for escape. "You shamelessold things. Da Huang, attack." Mo Wuji said immediately, and at the same time, he instructed Da Huang to attack Lei Guyun. Lei Guyun¡¯s lightning aura was strong and overbearing. One look and you could tell that his combat power was definitely not weak. However, the thing that Mo Wuji was least afraid of was lightning. Mo Wuji also knew that Guang Xing had the lowest cultivation, but actually, the remaining three were diverting some of their attention on Guang Xing. If Mo Wuji dared to force his way through Guang Xing, then he would definitely suffer greatly. Da Huang also knew that any carelessness now would leave Mo Wuji dead. Thus when he attacked, he attacked with his full power. "Courting death!" When he saw that Da Huang had actually attacked him, Lei Guyun was enraged. He opened his hand and a huge lightning hammer appeared in his palm which he then used to smash towards Da Huang. At the same time, the other three made their moves. Three Grand Emperors and a Quasi-Emperor were acting against a Grand Luo Immortal. This might be the first time such a situation occured in the entire Immortal World. "Boom!" A violent burst of immortal elemental energy exploded. Even though he had Da Huang defending him from the front, Mo Wuji instantly knew that he was screwed. It was true that Da Huang was a Grand Emperor. But even if Da Huang was any stronger, it could only deal with one of them. He might even be in the disadvantage during that exchange. Now, three Immortal Emperors and a Quasi-Emperor were attacking them simultaneously. Even if Da Huang was an entire fold stronger, it still wouldn¡¯t be enough. "Kacha!" A huge crack appeared on Da Huang¡¯s body. "Pff!" Mo Wuji opened his mouth unconsciously as he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. His internal organs had been ruptured, directly turning in dregs which were forced out of his mouth together with his blood. His previous attack was like throwing eggs against a rock; it didn¡¯t even cause a ripple. The immensity of a Grand Emperor¡¯s strength had thoroughly left Mo Wuji feeling helpless. Feeling Da Huang¡¯s energy gradually disappearing, and his own vitality slowly fading, Mo Wuji cried out in grief, "Da Huang¡­" Da Huang was an immortal puppet but he had long treated Da Huang as his friend. At this moment, Da Huang was dying because of him. "My lord, hurry and escape¡­. Da Huang can¡¯t beat them¡­" A hint of emotion actually appeared within Da Huang¡¯s low and muffled voice. It knew that it was soon going to depart from this world, and its voice contained a hint of reluctance. "Ka! Ka! Ka! Crack!" The bones in Mo Wuji''s body shattered continuously. An undeniable death intent surged into Mo Wuji''s mind. Even if he died, he wasn''t going to let these bast*rds have a single thing of his. "He''s going to explode himself!" The moment Mo Wuji firmed his conviction to die, Jin Yusheng cried out harshly. Yi Minghu scoffed, "He doesn''t have the qualifications to explode himself in front of us." As he spoke, he had already retracted his longsword. He lifted his hand to form ten enigmatic hand seals. They each formed a rune which flee towards Mo Wuji. At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji decided to self destruct, the star locket hung on his chest began to glow with warm light. It was like a star rising into the sky, circles of light wrapped around him. "Pff! Pff! Pff!" Mo Wuji continued to cough out blood; the bones and muscles on his body shattered inch by inch. The star locket''s light completely defended against Yi Minghu''s runic attack. Even the power of the Grand Emperor Domains were blocked by the star locket. Even if Mo Wuji was a fool, he would know that this star locket wasn''t simple. It would be weird if this magic treasure which could defend against the attacks of three Grand Emperors was simple. He immediately retracted his decision to self destruct. If he could live, why would he be willing to die? "Crack!" Da Huang, however, exploded, forming countless bits of dust which dispersed in the vast void around them. "Da Huang!" Mo Wuji immediately felt Da Huang''s energy disappear completely. He couldn''t suppress the grief in his heart as tears streamed down his face. As for his previous mentality, it had already been thrown to the side. Da Huang didn''t follow him for a long time, but no matter what happened, Da Huang would stay loyally by his side. As for ¡®abandon¡¯, that word never existed in Da Huang''s dictionary. But now, Da Huang had been killed. It had been killed by these three Immortal Emperors and this Quasi-Emperor. "That''s a god equipment!" When Jin Yusheng saw the faint light emanating from Mo Wuji''s chest, he cried out in alarm. It wasn''t just Jin Yusheng. Even Yi Minghu''s and Lei Guyun¡¯s eyes had turned red. Mo Wuji clearly didn''t know how to use this weapon. Otherwise, this god equipment''s defensive capability wouldn''t have been activated only when he was about to self destruct. "There''s no need to worry. That''s a defensive treasure; so it doesn''t pose any threat to us. We just need to join hands and attack one more time. Even if we can''t break through this treasure¡¯s defense''s, we can kill him with the impact," Yi Minghu said coldly. Lei Guyun scoffed, "This animal really got off easy. I was originally intending to torture his soul." Mo Wuji controlled his grief. He stared at these Immortal Emperors coldly; he knew that they were right. Even with his star locket, he wouldn''t be able to last through another attack. Four blinding light of immortal elemental energy were conjured simultaneously. Thereafter, they whizzed towards Mo Wuji, seemingly tearing the entire space apart on their path of wrath. Mo Wuji slowly lifted his own arm that still had an intact bone, and he said calmly, "Revolving Star Passage Technique¡­" This was the first sacred art that Mo Wuji obtained in the cultivation world. Unfortunately, he only had the first three stages and not the fourth stage. When Mo Wuji advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Stage, he didn''t spend time to research on this sacred art; so he no longer cultivated it after reaching the Xing Stage. However today, besides this sacred art, all his other sacred arts were simply usless in front of this coalition of Immortal Emperors. Now, even with this star locket protecting him, his chances of escaping alive with this sacred art was extremely slim. "You¡¯re indeed courting death!" Seeing Mo Wuji condense his energy for this sacred art against the four of them, Jin Yusheng snorted in contempt. It didn¡¯t matter how strong Mo Wuji¡¯s sacred art was. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t even at the Immortal King Stage. In front of Immortal Emperors like them, he wasn¡¯t even on the level of an ant. "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Multiple blasts of savage immortal elemental energy landed on the light of Mo Wuji¡¯s star locket, causing intense waves to ripple across the star locket¡¯s light. But no matter how intense the ripples were, the light didn¡¯t dissipate by a single bit. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s sacred art energy crashed against the four experts¡¯ immortal elemental energy. A terrifying and violent force surged over. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s Immortal Physique was at Level 3, and he had the star locket to help defend him against the Immortal Emperor Domains, he was unable to bear the force of the immortal elemental energy. Moreover, these Grand Emperors were holding back their strength as they did not want to turn Mo Wuji to mush. Not only did they want the things on Mo Wuji, they wanted to keep his head to brandish their might. Mo Wuji had provoked several huge sects. Did he think that the sects would simply kill him? That was simply too naive. "Crack! Crack! Crack!" Mo Wuji¡¯s bones, which already shattered, started to break into even smaller pieces. His flesh also started to disintegrate under this intense force. At this instant, Mo Wuji looked nothing more than a mangled skeleton with two eyes. Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t faint. He knew that he needed a bit of consciousness. If he fainted, then his previous Revolving Star Passage Technique would have been wasted. His body had been torn apart, but he still had his exceedingly strong sea of consciousness. As long as his sea of consciousness was still present, then he would be able to attack. The raging force was directed by Mo Wuji into the void right in front of him. With this power, Mo Wuji formed a tear in space which was only 30 centimeters wide. At almost the same instant this tear appeared, Mo Wuji swept up Da Huang¡¯s artificial equipment spirit and charged into the tear. The tear instantly closed up. The moment Mo Wuji disappeared, Yi Minghu and co. were stunned still. They all had unsightly expressions on their faces. They knew that it was now impossible to kill Mo Wuji. With their powers, they could join hands to force open another spatial tear. However, they might not form a spatial tear that would lead to the same world that Mo Wuji had just escaped to. One must now that just a slight difference in the spatial tear could lead to completely different places. Chapter 663: Immortal Domain’s Mortal Village Chapter 663: Immortal Domain¡¯s Mortal Village Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Extreme Glade Sea was located at the borders of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Out of the seven great immortal domains the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was the one with the thinnest and weakest spiritual energy. Being located at the borders of the domain, the spiritual energy in the Extreme Glade Sea was the most sparse in the entire Immortal World, making cultivating there practically impossible. The Divergent Immortal Village could be considered a small fishing village that existed along the edge of the Extreme Glade Sea. In the immortal realm there were little to no settlements that were called villages. Normally, areas with a lower concentration of spiritual energy were known as Immortal Neighbourhoods, Immortal Capes or Auxiliary Immortal Cities. For a location to be known as a village meant that it had been renounced by the entire Immortal World and was completely worthless in every way. In the past, this village was once known as the Forsook Village. Later on a powerhouse had supposedly emerged from the village and its name was changed to the Divergent Immortal Village. Regardless of whether a powerhouse actually emerged from the village it was still just a small village in a small desolate corner of the immortal realm. The village barely had 30 families living in it. The only notable similarity that they all had was that no one practiced cultivation. All the residents here either lacked spiritual roots, had broken spiritual roots, or were wandering cultivators that had given up hope on themselves and decided to settle down. Since the spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm was much higher than another other ordinary realms, even though the spiritual energy here was not sufficient for cultivating it still benefited the mortals that lived in the Divergent Immortal Village. The average lifespan of the villagers was 200 years. Those whose bodies were stronger or had accidentally consumed some immortal herbs could even live past 250 years old. Though the villagers couldn¡¯t cultivate nor did they have any strong cultivators protecting them they did not suffer from any attacks from demonic beasts. Another benefit the village enjoyed was its abundant resources. Since it was located so near to the Extreme Glade Sea, it allowed the villagers to live comfortably without any lack of food or clothes. Almost all the villagers were fishermen and some would occasionally go further inland to clear out plots of land to grow fruits and vegetables. Yu Jingfeng was a fisherman like everyone else in the village. However due to his talent he was already going out to sea alone despite being only 13 years old. On a normal day he would set out before dawn and only return after the sun had set. On this day Yu Jingfeng had just finished preparing his boat and was about to set off when he made a shocking discovery on the beach. Washed up on shore was a corpse! No¡­ it would have been more accurate to call it a skeleton since all that was left was its bones and a head. The constantly undulating waves had washed the bones of the skeleton clean and bleached it. As he stared at the skeleton Yu Jingfeng¡¯s gaze fell on its finger. Its finger was already broken into several pieces and didn''t have a scrap of flesh on it yet oddly enough there was a ring on the finger. Even though Yu Jingfeng didn''t have spiritual roots and was only 13 years old, it didn''t mean he didn''t know anything about cultivators. Living at the edge of the Ying Yong Immortal Domain, Yu Jingfeng had naturally heard stories of immortal cultivators. He had even seen immortals riding their flying swords flying over the village before. Yu Jingfeng had always envied these immortal cultivators who could fly. However, since he lacked spiritual roots, he could never cultivate. Even up till today he could still remember what his grandfather had said to comfort him. "Feng¡¯er¡­ it isn¡¯t necessarily a bad thing that you don''t have spiritual roots. Even people with spiritual roots might not live as long as us. What¡¯s more, that year when your father found out that he had decent spiritual roots he immediately set out to join a sect to start his cultivation. Ever since he left we completely lost contact with him¡­ And there¡¯s still your older brother. Don¡¯t you remember what happened to him? Wasn¡¯t it because he realised he had spiritual roots and insisted on leaving the village to embark on cultivation? And what happened to him? The only news we ever got of him was that he had passed away. Sigh¡­ your poor sister in law¡­" When his grandfather had told him all of this, Yu Jingfeng had only been 5 years old. In the 8 years since then, the now 13 year old Yu Jingfeng had long since gotten used to the life of an ordinary mortal fisherman. But today, he had found and immortal cultivator¡¯s skeleton. And not just the skeleton, but possibly the cultivator¡¯s storage ring as well! He had heard stories of how rings like this one were spatial treasures and how cultivators could use it to store all their other treasures and valuables. At this moment, his heart was wildly beating in excitement. Even if he couldn''t become an immortal himself, this ring could still bring him untold riches. Suddenly Yu Jingfeng noticed several other villagers approaching from a distance. Suppressing his excitement, he hurriedly carried the skeleton into his boat and hastily set off. Yu Jingfeng might have been young, but he wasn¡¯t a fool. He knew that even if he took the ring and left the other villagers would still find the skeleton. Increasing the speed of his boat, he then steered it into the deep sea. After confirming that there was no one else in the vicinity Yu Jingfeng entered his cabin to retrieve the ring from the skeleton. Just as his finger touched the ring, Yu Jingfeng noticed that the previously bleached heart in the skeleton now had a slight rosy hue. Not only that, the heart seemed to faintly beat¡­ The skeleton had a heart inside it and that very heart was still beating! The very sight was frightening beyond belief. However, having heard numerous stories of immortals, Yu Jingfeng knew that some were able to come back to life as long as a small part of their body remained intact. Since the heart of this cultivator was still beating, he was obviously not dead yet. At this point all of Yu Jingfeng¡¯s excitement died down. His grandfather¡¯s words rang in his ears, "Jingfeng, in the Immortal World we are one of the lowest existences there is. What¡¯s the point of having so much wealth? All it does is breed laziness and greed in the hearts of humans. The moment your heart has greed, you¡¯ve already lost yourself. Remember grandpa¡¯s words, simply being alive is already the greatest happiness there is. Humans can live without wealth, but we can¡¯t live without perseverance¡­" "Grandpa, what¡¯s perseverance?" he asked. "You¡¯ll understand one day" Yu Jingfeng slowly moved his fingers away from the surface of the ring, he felt as though he finally understood what his grandfather meant by ¡®perseverance¡¯. With that he left the cabin and began inspecting his nets and preparing to cast them out. ¡­ Mo Wuji felt as though someone was moving him. But regardless of how much he struggled to open his eyes, he lacked the ability to do so. He even tried to enter the Undying World but found himself unable to do that as well. He could feel how battered and broken his body was at the moment. Roughly 90% of the meridians in his body had been destroyed and the only 2 that were still intact were the vitality channel and one spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji knew that the current him was completely powerless. If anyone wanted to kill him or reduce him to ashes there was nothing he could do but accept his fate. Mo Wuji understood very clearly that it would be immensely dangerous to try and interact with the Undying World as he was now, but he chose to ignore the dangers. He knew that if he didn''t try and do something now, even if he could survive this ordeal he would never be able to cultivate again. If he couldn''t cultivate then how would living on be any different from death? Mo Wuji was different from normal cultivators since he did not have a primordial spirit, no matter how high his cultivation was he would always remain a mortal. Hence he couldn''t afford to let his physical body truly be destroyed. He had to regenerate his physical body immediately no matter the cost. Using the spiritual will in his remaining spirit storage channel, he linked up with his sea of consciousness and entered his Undying World. "My Lord?" The moment that Mo Wuji entered the undying world Shuai Guo inside could feel how weak and unnatural he was. "Open the purple gourd¡­" This was the only phrase that Mo Wuji could transmit to Shuai Guo. With his current strength, he wasn''t able to open the purple gourd even if it belonged to him. Shuai Guo immediately rushed to open the purple gourd the moment he received the message. A wisp of the Breath of Hong Meng was quickly swept up by Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and immediately saturated his body. Even though Mo Wuji only had his vitality channel and one spirit storage channel left, his sea of consciousness was still in perfect condition. His two remaining meridians soon formed a major circulation and began rapidly restoring his broken meridians. Mo Wuji then split off a portion of his will and began using his Physique Tempering Technique and then entered an unconscious state again. He knew that with his body destroyed and his meridians broken, using the Breath of Hong Meng while circulating his Physique Tempering Technique would be better than circulating any cultivation techniques by a long shot. Wisp after wisp of barely existent energy began to slowly fill Mo Wuji¡¯s broken body following the circulation of his vitality channel and spirit storing channel and the gradual recovery of his other broken meridians. Every time a meridian was successfully repaired, the energy in his body would make a quantitative leap. ¡­ "Grandpa I¡¯m home!" Yu Jingfeng shouted as he entered the courtyard of a small stone house. He was currently carrying the skeleton on his back while holding two large bags of fish in his hands. From inside the house, an audibly aged voice sounded out, "Jingfeng why¡¯re you back so late today? The sun already set long ago." Yu Jingfeng immediately placed the skeleton on his back onto a nearby stone chair and replied, "It¡¯s because of this person I found on the beach today grandpa. I was afraid that if I came back any earlier the other villagers would have seen him." "A cultivator?" his grandfather replied with a frown. Seeing his grandfather frown so deeply Yu Jingfeng hurriedly said, "If I didn''t save him he would have surely died. When I first found him he was is a much worse state than now. Within the day, I could feel the life force in his body growing! What¡¯s more, just look at his ring!" Hearing this, his grandfather could only let out a long sigh. He turned and told Yu Jingfeng, "Go place him on the bed in your room then come out. Grandpa has a few things to tell you." "Yes grandpa" Yu Jingfeng then hurriedly carried Mo Wuji¡¯s body onto the bed in his room then closed the door and left. "Jingfeng, I¡¯m sure that you know that man is a cultivator and that he has a storage ring full of treasure right?" His grandfather asked with a serious expression. Yu Jingfeng began to panic. He and his grandfather had always depended on each other for survival. Looking at the stern expression on his grandfather¡¯s face he started to wonder if he had truly done something wrong. "You didn''t take his storage ring¡­ That was the right thing to do." His grandfather continued on in a low voice. "Grandpa you¡¯ve taught me before that humans can lack wealth but we can¡¯t lack perseverance." Yu Jingfeng sensed that his grandfather wasn''t going to scold him and felt slightly more at ease. "Good! For you to already be able to do this at your age is already considered very good. Then from today onwards you¡¯ll be the one in charge of taking care of the man in your room. Remember, not a word about this entire matter to anyone else." His grandfather shouted. "Yes grandpa!" Yu Jingfeng hurriedly replied. After mulling over it for a moment he asked, " Not even sister in law?" "I¡¯ll tell her when she comes home later¡­" His grandfather sighed. He still had something else he wanted to tell Jingfeng. Even if a cultivator was dead, would taking his storage ring necessarily mean obtaining immense wealth? No! It would only spell an early death! Even if a cultivator couldn''t move, his body still wasn¡¯t something a mortal could touch. Even without a body, cultivators still had their primordial spirit. Whether saving this cultivator and bringing him back was a blessing or a curse, he still didn''t know for sure. In the eyes of immortals, ordinary mortals were existences on the same level as ants. Looking at the extent of the damage on this immortal cultivator¡¯s body, it was obvious that he had been gravely wounded by an enemy. It didn''t matter if it his enemy found his whereabouts or if the cultivator himself awoke in anger, the both of them would be finished. Unfortunately Yu Jingfeng had already brought the cultivator back and the two of them had no way out of the situation. Chapter 664: God Physique Chapter 664: God Physique Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations God Physique Yu Jingfeng¡¯s grandfather was Yu Cheng. Compared to Yu Jingfeng, the experienced Yu Cheng had seen and heard much more about the pugilistic world. Ever since Yu Jingfeng brought back the heavily injured Mo Wuji, he had been preparing for the fateful moment to face off with Mo Wuji¡¯s foes and enemies, who had never once given up the idea of killing Mo Wuji before massacring the entire Divergent Immortal Village. Due to his age and experience, the seasoned Yu Cheng knew his place in the world. He realised that regardless whether one was a mortal or immortal, one needed to possess the consciousness of a mortal. He often told his grandchildren that being able to live in this very world peacefully was worth much more than all the riches and material possessions. Sometimes, when two immortals started duelling, their immense power could cause unimaginable destruction that would wipe out every bit of civilisation around them. A village in the mortal world was very different from a city of the immortals. A battle between immortals was unlikely to occur in a immortal city and even if there was one, the immortals had arrays to block attacks. Therefore, the immortals definitely had an upper hand. Despite being outnumbered, killing the mortals was akin to stepping on a colony of ants for the immortals. It was not the first time Divergent Immortal Village faced such a crisis. From Yu Cheng¡¯s recollection, there had been two previous instances and one of which led to an overwhelming 80% of the population dying. Months passed in the blink of an eye. Peace befell Divergent Immortal Village and no one came to seek revenge. The heavy rock hanging in Yu Cheng¡¯s heart was finally lowered. Heeding the words of his grandfather, Yu Jingfeng shifted to the storeroom and clear his room for Mo Wuji to recuperate in. ... Having successfully channelled the Breath of Hong Meng into his body, Mo Wuji knew that someone saved him. Similarly, Mo Wuji also felt a sense of relief and he immediately initiated the repair of his breath scattering channel which in turn sped up the recovery of his injured body. Even though Mo Wuji was still unable to gain full consciousness, he could clearly sense that the Breath of Hong Meng when combined with physical conditioning helped to facilitate the reconstruction of his skeleton, gaining back strength for his bones. After half a year of recuperation, the 108 meridians in his body completely healed. Likewise, his skeleton was also rapidly recovering. A pale golden hue constantly radiated from within his skeleton, penetrating deeply into the bones. Mo Wuji opened his eyes and he could instantly feel the lack of immortal spiritual energy around him. Luckily he could utilize the Breath of Hong Meng, else his recovery would not have been possible in tens of thousands of years. However, using his spiritual will to control the Breath of Hong Meng to heal his physical body was too slow, the best bet was still to be enshrouded completely by the Breath of Hong Meng. After scanning out with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji quickly realised where he was in. From the faint presence of immortal spiritual energy, he was still in the immortal realm. However, seeing that many mortals are living here, the exact location he¡¯s in was probably a spot in the immortal realm where mortals without spirituals roots thrived, and it was a mortal saved him. Mo Wuji felt a sense of relief. Lady Luck must had been watching over him for him to be saved by a mortal. If he was discovered by a cultivator, he would have been erased from existence. Even though mortals lived here, the place was technically part of the immortal realm. Every day that his strength was not back, was a day of danger. He had to recover all his strength as soon as possible. Without hesitation, Mo Wuji grabbed 10 array flags and using them, he concealed his room and entered his Undying World. "Master...", the frantic Shuai Guo exclaimed and rushed over upon seeing the entrance of Mo Wuji. With an abundance of immortal crystals and pills, Shuai Guo had became a true Class 9 Demonic Beast and he was one step away from the immortal class. At this moment, Mo Wuji seemed to have miraculously recovered, but Shuai Guo still looked astonished. Shuai Guo could not imagine what Master had to go through, and what about Da Huang. Where was the Da Huang that he always fooled around with? Mo Wuji waved his hands gently and landed right beside the violet gourd. The rich Breath of Hong Meng instantaneously wrapped Mo Wuji before he threw the Undying Holy Bamboo into the Breath of Hong Meng. Even if he did not have the Undying Holy Bamboo, he could still heal his physical body, but now he had the treasure in his possession, there was no doubt that he would use it. Mo Wuji lay amidst the Breath of Hong Meng. The difference between the using his spiritual will as a guide and totally immersing himself in the Breath of Hong Meng was just too drastic. The 108 meridians that were on the road of recovery were constantly growing. Under this new mode of recuperation, the golden hue radiating from Mo Wuji¡¯s body darkened and gradually transformed back to the healthy glow before he sustained his injuries. In a moment¡¯s time, it could be clearly observed that Mo Wuji¡¯s physical body was healing at an unimaginable pace. As they recovered and fused, the bone and muscles started making faint crackles. Mo Wuji sat up upon complete recovery of his body. He could feel himself being physically stronger. Immortal Physique Level 4, Level 5¡­ Level 7, Level 8... "Boom!" A thunderous boom was heard and it came from Mo Wuji¡¯s body. It was as if his body was going to be torn apart again. A circle of golden light surrounded Mo Wuji¡¯s body and was quickly channelled inside. A sense adrenaline that was never felt before rushed through his body. Mo Wuji unexpectedly stood up and howled towards the skies. His physical body that was initially torn apart had completed healed. Furthermore, he reached Immortal Physique and restored his strength all the way up to Grand Luo Immortal Stage. This howl into the sky seemed to have released all his frustrations. There were many Immortal Emperors in the Immortal World, but only a few could advance to Immortal Physique. Although Mo Wuji was still far from reaching to stage of becoming an Immortal Emperor, he was probably the first Grand Luo Immortal to advance to Immortal Physique since the beginning of time. Now, even if he decided to redirect the power of three Immortal Emperors and one semi-Immortal Emperor to make a spatial tear with the Revolving Star Passage Technique, he would still sustain serious injuries. However, these injuries would definitely not reduce him to a skeleton. "Master, are you feeling good? Where is Da Huang?" Shuai Guo rushed over frantically. There was silence for a long while before Mo Wuji took out a tattered equipment spirit. "Da Huang sacrificed himself to protect me. This equipment spirit is what¡¯s left of him." Shuai Guo sensed the frustration within Mo Wuji. He didn¡¯t want to probe further and could only sigh in the corner. Even though Da Huang was considerably strong, it wasn¡¯t enough to protect his life. This meant that Shuai Guo still had much training to do. Mo Wuji delivered Da Huang¡¯s equipment spirit into the breath of Hong Meng and then spoke to Shuai Guo. "Shuai Guo, the Breath of Hong Meng carries energy from the creation of the universe. I don¡¯t know if Da Huang¡¯s equipment spirit will gain its own consciousness if I leave it here. Help me look out for any signs of life while you cultivate in the Undying World." "Yes, Master,"Shuai Guo replied immediately. ... The moment Mo Wuji came out from the room, a lady in a grey dress barged into the room and rushed towards him. The beautiful lady had snow-white skin. Except for her rough hands, she did not look like a coast-dweller. At this moment, her hair was messy and her clothes were dotted with stains of blood. Even her face had red blotches and the blood-stained hair stuck to her face. It was a gory sight. Mo Wuji scanned the lady and he could tell that the lady wasn¡¯t really hurt and the blood was probably from someone else. "Who are you?" The lady asked as she stood in the centre of the room and stared at Mo Wuji Mo Wuji chose not to reply in such an awkward situation. Firstly, he did not know the lady and secondly, he could sense the return of his saviour. "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" The blood-stained lady immediately caught Yu Jingfeng¡¯s eye. Yu Jingfeng was rather happy today as he caught a red snapper. Red snapper was considered as an luxurious treat well received and feasted by the immortals. Just this one catch was valued higher than all the other fish he caught for the past half a month. Therefore, Yu Jingfeng returned to the shore this morning and was greeted by unexpected visit from his sister-in-law, who has not visited him for the past year. "Jingfeng, where is Grandpa? And who is he?" The lady questioned in a shaky voice, as if she just went through some form of immense trauma. "My friend, you¡¯re awake!" Yu Jingfeng immediately recognised Mo Wuji. A few months back, Mo Wuji¡¯s room looked as if it was meant to be hidden from sight. Yu Jingfeng found it rather strange but kept his curiosity in check by obeying the advice of his grandfather. Few months later, after getting used to it, he finally saw the appearance of Mo Wuji. Yu Jingfeng scanned Mo Wuji from head to toe. Mo Wuji had completely recovered from his injuries and the recovery process was perfect. "Thank you for saving my life. I would have perished long ago if not for you." Mo Wuji wrapped his left palm around his right fist as he paid respects. "You¡¯re welcome, my friend. My grandfather always taught me...Oh, sister-in-law, what happened to you?" As he spoke, the image of his blood-stained sister in law flashed in the mind of Yu Jingfeng and he immediately started the probe. "I...", the lady stuttered and glanced at Mo Wuj, hesitating. Although she had not visited Divergent Immortal Village in recent months, she was very familiar with everyone living in village. However, she had never seen Mo Wuji before. "You guys go ahead and chat, I¡¯ll leave for a stroll." Mo Wuji said. He sensed that the lady was uncomfortable to speak in his sight. Yu Jingfeng immediately waved his hand. From his grandpa, he learnt that Mo Wuji was an immortal and it would be disrespectful to ask him to vacate the place in order for the conversation with his sister-in-law to take place. "Congratulations on your great recovery. Our humble shed is probably too tattered to be comfortable for a master like you" Yu Cheng¡¯s voice came booming from the door as he hurried his footsteps. Chapter 665: The Grand Luo Immortal That Lived In A Mortal Village Chapter 665: The Grand Luo Immortal That Lived In A Mortal Village Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Grand Luo Immortal That Lived In Mortal Village "Immortal master?" Upon hearing the phrase, the woman subconsciously took a step back as her mind raced with fear. Although Mo Wuji was already at the initial phases of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, his attitude was unlike the other immortals as he was from Earth. To him, the mortals who lost their spiritual roots that stood in front of him were not much different from himself. "You¡¯re far too polite, it is I who have to thank you for saving me." Mo Wuji said with much gratitude. Yu Cheng was taken aback, he was different from Yu Jingfeng; he had met many immortals, and even worked odd jobs around a great immortal sect. Mo Wuji by far was the most polite immortal amongst the many he had met, being even more polite than low ranking immortals. Yu Cheng quickly sensed the difference between Mo Wuji and the other immortals. Immortals were usually surrounded by an immortal aura, making them seem like a proud and detached group. The immortal standing in front of him felt no different from themselves, it felt like there was nothing differentiating him from mortals who have lost their spiritual roots. Perhaps he was mistaken; Mo Wuji was not an immortal, but merely a mortal who has did not have spiritual roots? That did not seem right either. When Mo Wuji first arrived, he looked as if he was merely a head carrying a body full of damaged organs and broken bones. Within a year, Mo Wuji had almost recovered completely from his injuries. That was a feat only an immortal could accomplish. "You¡¯re too polite", Yu Cheng dared not accept Mo Wuji¡¯s gratitude, he hastily added: "The nearest immortal city is some distance away from here should the Immortal Master wish to go there. I only know the general directions to it." Mo Wuji still did not know where he is at. He concluded that he must be in a secluded area as he had managed to stay without disturbance from other Immortals for almost a year. During his year of unconsciousness, he used his spiritual will and the Breath of Hongmeng to nourish his body. He had a spiritual storage channel as he was different from others. The usage of spiritual will and the Breath of Hongmeng started from his spiritual storage channel and circulated his body day and night. This method of circulation ensured that there was no leakage. There was still some aura present despite the absence of leakage. He would run the risk of exposing his identity if an immortal got too close while his body was still recovering. It could only mean that this was in a very secluded location, as his identity remained unexposed for the past year. Comparing the current Mo Wuji to the Mo Wuji of a year ago, the current Mo Wuji possessed a different physical strength and attitude. Although previously Mo Wuji possessed an immortal puppet, and was a Tier 7 pill master; his strength had been insignificant in the eyes of the other strong immortals. What he needed was not aimless wandering, but a consolidation of his knowledge. A consolidation of his understanding of the martial arts, as well as knowledge gained from his development as a person. He wanted to take revenge on Lightning Sect, Great Sword Path, and Vast Ocean Immortal School. But he knew this was not the time, this was the time for him to consolidate his strength. "Is it possible for me to stay here for a period of time?" Mo Wuji asked respectfully. "Of course, my Lord Immortal Master" Yu Cheng replied. "My cultivation level is low, I can¡¯t be considered as an immortal, just call me Da Huang" Mo Wuji beckoned. "And how can you be addressed?" Mo Wuji asked. Yu Cheng immediately shook his hand in fear, he was interrupted by Mo Wuji before he had the chance to speak. "Just call me Da Huang, you should know the reason why I am here. I am just like the rest of you" Mo Wuji said. "Yes, yes¡­" Yu Cheng nodded his head in fear despite Mo Wuji¡¯s reassurance. After a few more ¡®yes¡¯s, he pointed at Yu Jingfeng and said: "This is my grandson Yu Jingfeng." Yu Cheng then pointed at the blood stained girl and said: "This is my granddaughter-in-law Lian Yingxian. My name is Yu Cheng and I have been residing in the Divergent Immortal Village" Granddaughter? Mo Wuji looked at Yu Jingfeng questioningly and then shot a look at Lian Yingxian. Liang Yingxian¡¯s eyes still carried shock even though she was covered in blood. Her beauty carried with it a sense of maturity, her presence alone granted the place a homely feel. Her rough hands seemed to be a reflection of her hardworking personality. Although Yu Jingfeng was physically big, his immaturity lead Mo Wuji to suspect that he might not even be 15 years old. How could a 15 year old have such a mature wife? As he was shocked, Yu Cheng explained: "Yu Jingfeng is only 13. Lian Yingxian was the wife of Yu Jingfeng¡¯s brother who met with an accident." Mo Wuji rubbed his face embarrassingly, he seemed to recall Yu Jingfeng calling Lian Yingxian his sister in law. "Immortal¡­ Da Huang, please sit." Although Yu Cheng was still perturbed, he understood that it was probably better to listen to Mo Wuji. After everyone took their seats, Mo Wuji asked; "Liang Yingxian seemed to have encountered an incident, can I ask what it was?" He owed his life to the Yu Family and he wanted to help them. Although he had plans to distance himself from the society, he would not stand to do nothing while the Yu Family was bullied. Lian Yingxian could tell that Mo Wuji was different from the other immortals. His tone was gentle and did not look down on them either. "Yes¡­" Yu Cheng stood up and replied. It was only at Mo Wuji''s cue, did he sit down and prompt Lian Yingxian to explain what happened. Yu Cheng became relaxed after talking to Mo Wuji for a while. He was assured that Mo Wuji was not like the other arrogant immortals. Lian Yingxian dared not sit down all this while, upon hearing what Yu Cheng said, she paid her respect to Mo Wuji before beginning to explain the situation. "Duo Sheng returned a year ago with heavy injuries. His sister Duo Cai went to the deep end of the Extreme Glade Sea to look for some immortal herbs to treat his injuries. In the process, Duo Cai too was crippled. I have been looking after the pair ever since" she explained. Yu Cheng was afraid that Mo Wuji could not understand the situation, and further explained: "Yingxian¡¯s house is less than 60km from here in Light Glade Village. The Duo siblings were her neighbors and they have been helping each other all the time. Light Glade Village is similar to Divergent Immortal Village in that its residents are all mortals that have lost their spiritual roots. The two village would often trade and have weddings, so everyone is familiar with each other." 60km was not a great distance for mortals who lived in the Immortal World. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to sweep the area and indeed saw a village less than 60km from the Divergent Immortal Village. The village was in ruins, and carcasses littered the area. The culprit did not even attempt to destroy the crime scene. Lian Yingxian continued: "Duo Cai was originally be able to walk soon, but two immortals barged into Duo Cai¡¯s house today. They demanded Duo Sheng to hand something over, and he produced a jade box. The immortals then slaughtered the siblings right after they got the jade box." Yu Cheng looked at Lian Yingxian suspiciously and thought: "She was able to describe the scene in such detail. It was as if she was present herself. If she was there, why was she not killed?" Lian Yingxian¡¯s voiced quivered: "The immortals wanted to kill me after they killed the Duo siblings. Unexpectedly, one of the immortals killed his partner¡­" Mo Wuji sighed, such cruelty was common in the world of cultivation. The object produced by Duo Sheng had to be valuable enough to prompt such betrayal. "Who would have expected the immortal that was betrayed to be able to retaliate. The two immortals started to fight. I was so scared that I took this opportunity to slip away and ran all the way home. The blood on my body was the blood spilled by the Duo siblings when they were murdered." Lian Yingxian said in the single breath, her face white with fear. Unconvinced, Yu Cheng asked: "Yingxian, did the immortals pursue you?" Lian Yingxian shook her head and said: "I don¡¯t know. I had originally planned to tell grandfather and Jingfeng about it, before going to hide in the Extreme Glade Sea." Yu Cheng shook his head and remarked: "The distance between Light Glade Village to the Divergent Immortal Village is nothing to an immortal. They didn¡¯t pursue me, which means they must have left. Or¡­" Yu Cheng wanted to say that the immortals must have killed each other. Seeing Mo Wuji was here, he swallowed his words. Mo Wuji suddenly asked: "How did Duo Sheng get injured?" Lian Yingxian has calmed down since, hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s question, she replied: "Five years ago, Duo Sheng said that he wanted to find if he was fated to cultivate and become an immortal. He left and never returned up till a year ago, when he returned with heavy injuries." Upon seeing the frightened look on Yu Cheng, Mo Wuji smiled reassuring and said: "60km is indeed nothing to an immortal, based on the fact that they have not arrived, it could be very possible that they have killed each other. Or the stolen treasure was of such importance that the cultivator had to abandon everything and run away. It is a pity that I had not cultivated for long, and lack the power to fully recover from my injuries, or else I would be able to take a look at the situation." Yu Cheng hurriedly said: "Da Huang, please do not go. Let¡¯s just leave it at this. This incident was a blessing and not a disaster, otherwise we would not have been able to avoid it. Xian¡¯Er, please stay here from here on out. Go to the room and change your clothes. We shall discuss this again after things have settled down." "Yes." Lian Yingxian bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji again before rushing off into the furthest room to change. Mo Wuji too stood up timely, back facing Yu Cheng and his grandson, he activated his spiritual eye. He saw flashes of spirituality race across his vision and disappeared. He sighed again. His guess was correct. On the surface, although Lian Yingxian¡¯s replies seemed to hold up, her body language and tone gave her away. He had suspected that Lian Yingxian was a cultivator, which was why he did not use his spiritual will. Mo Wuji had learnt much after being surrounded and attacked by a Grand Immortal Emperor, he was now more cautious when approaching matters. Using his spiritual eye, he confirmed that Lian Yingxian was a cultivator. Perhaps she was even of a higher cultivation level than himself, at least in advanced Grand Luo Immortal Stage. If he had not owed the Yu family a favor, Mo Wuji would have wanted to leave immediately. Chapter 666: Yu Jingfeng’s Revelation Chapter 666: Yu Jingfeng¡¯s Revelation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Mo Wuji had failed to advance in cultivation and pill refining. The lack of immortal spiritual energy in this place rendered his cultivation futile. Cultivating in the Undying World was a possibility, especially with the heaps of immortal crystals Mo Wuji had with him. However, there was a downside to this: the five elements were incomplete. At low levels of cultivation,the side effects of cultivating in such an environment would be minimal, whereas at high levels, doing so would interrupt the flow of his dao. In addition to this, Mo Wuji had advanced to the level of Grand Luo Immortal in a short span of time. Even though he had not sensed any destabilisation in his fundamentals yet, it was not a bad time to take a step back and gather his thoughts instead of cultivating. In these recent months, Mo Wuji had been rigorously conducting research on smithing. He possessed the book on Equipment Dao, as well as the Guide To Smithing and the Knowledge Of Smithing given to him by Xu Suren. Mo Wuji had obtained the book on Equipment Dao long ago, but never had the time to study it. If not for the serious injuries he took this time around, in addition to the destruction of Da Huang, it was quite possible that he would never have researched smithing, as his goal for researching it was to restore Da Huang. One thing that offered Mo Wuji some solace was that even though Lian Yingxian was a Grand Luo Immortal, she hadn¡¯t caused any trouble after living here. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even seen her cultivate either. Every day, she would only assist Yu Cheng in cleaning the fish that Yu Jingfeng caught. Occasionally, she would also leave Divergent Immortal Village with Yu Jingfeng to trade and exchange goods. Whenever Mo Wuji conducted his research on smithing, no one would ever bother him. It was almost as if they knew that immortals did not like to interact with mortals. Due to his frequent refining of array flags, which bore some resemblances to smithing, Mo Wuji already possessed a strong foundation in smithing. The more complex array flags were arguably even harder to refine than some high grade immortal equipment. In addition to this, Master Pu Zi had imparted to him many smithing techniques in the Half Immortal Domain. In actuality, as an immortal array master, Mo Wuji was very self-aware that if his smithing did not improve, his Array Dao would definitely be adversely affected. In the Gods Tower, one Immortal Sealing Array could seal countless experts. After suffering in the shackles of the Immortal Sealing Array, Mo Wuji¡¯s belief that he needed to rigorously research Array Dao was further fortified. Within a month, Mo Wuji could refine and create Grade 4 immortal equipments. Although they were the simplest of that level, it did show that there was certain improvement. Mo Wuji attributed much of his progress to Xu Suren, who gave him the the Guide To Smithing, and provided many valuable insights into smithing, which hastened his research tremendously. The most complex issues in smithing were all virtually explained by Xu Suren in the book of Equipment Dao. One could say that this book was even more precious than Grade 9 immortal equipment. One day, while Mo Wuji was refining a Grade 5 immortal long sword, Yu Jingfeng, who usually did not disturb him, knocked on his door. Yu Jingfeng was a young man of good character and morals. After knowing that Jingfeng was the one who saved him, Mo Wuji had even considered accepting him as his disciple. However, Mo Wuji hesitated, as he did not know whether imparting techniques to Yu Jingfeng would benefit him or harm him instead. After staying at Divergent Immortal Village for so long, Mo Wuji had begun to understand the lives of Yu Jingfeng and his grandfather. They could not cultivate to become immortals, but led fulfilling lives without any boring days, frequently encountering surprises in the Extreme Glade Sea. If he allowed Yu Jingfeng to cultivate, it could very well disrupt the peace and balance in his life. Moreover, after he leaves the village, Yu Jingfeng might perish while gathering resources for cultivation. In comparison, leading a simple life may not have been that bad after all. The good thing was that Yu Jingfeng had never inquired about the matter of immortal cultivation, which gave Mo Wuji time to take his mind off the issue, until this day, when Jingfeng had come to Mo Wuji¡¯s doorstep. "Jingfeng, you¡¯re looking for see me?" Mo Wuji asked as he kept his half-refined long sword. At his current level of skill, abruptly ending the refinement of this long sword was equivalent to wasting the effort he had put into refining it to this point. This however, did not concern Mo Wuji as he had a vast amount of low grade smithing materials in his ring, much more than the amount of immortal herbs. "Yes, brother, I have something that I¡¯ve always wanted to speak to you about, but grandfather didn¡¯t let me bother you for no reason, so I kept it to myself up till now. He is out with sister in law now, which is why I had the chance to come and talk to you in the first place," Jingfeng said in a flurry as he stood at the door. "It¡¯s only been a month, but you¡¯ve grown quite a bit" Mo Wuji remarked as he invited Jingfeng in. Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian were indeed not at home. Even though Jingfeng often said that he admired and idolised Mo Wuji, Wuji himself felt that the admiration was a result of Yu Cheng¡¯s teachings. Wuji no longer shrouded himself with the caution that he once did, as after such a long time, he felt that the differences between immortals and mortals were insignificant. "Hey, I¡¯m already 14, and seafaring helps me train my physique as well," Jingfeng replied as he earnestly rubbed his own head. "Where have your grandfather and sister in law gone to?" Wuji asked as he gestured for Jingfeng to sit. "They¡¯ve gone to Extreme Glade City to get the Thousand Fusing Rice. It¡¯s the harvesting season for it now," Jingfeng said without a second thought. Mo Wuji knew about Extreme Glade City ¨C In the region of the Extreme Glade Sea there were many villages similar to Divergent Immortal Village, between these villages, there needed to be a set location for the purpose of trade, which led to the formation of Extreme Glade City. Everyone in the villages would come here if they needed to buy anything, and the immortal energy in the air here was as scarce as it was in the other parts of the region. Even though Ji Ke City was a City for mortals in name, there were some cultivators here as well, as the city was, in reality, co-inhabited by low level immortals and mortals. However, the immortals here were either talentless, or were severely limited in their ability to cultivate. The Thousand Fusing Rice could only be planted in areas near Extreme Glade City, and was the rice ate by most of the regular beings. Every time harvesting season came, all the people living around Extreme Glade City would bring the unique produce from their respective villages and exchange them for Thousand Fusing Rice. "Jingfeng, your sister in law is gorgeous, I don¡¯t think there are many in this village who can compare to her beauty," Wuji suddenly said while grinning. Perhaps having sensed Wuji¡¯s relaxed disposition, Jingfeng eased into the conversation. At this point of time, he had completely forgotten that his grandfather once told him that Wuji was an immortal cultivator, and that there were taboos that they could not violate. "Big brother, it¡¯s not only Divergent Immortal Village, not anyone in Extreme Glade City could match up to my sister in law¡¯s beauty. Have you perhaps fallen for her? But... she has no spiritual roots, it would be impossible for her to cultivate." Mo Wuji hurriedly leapt to his own defence. "No no no, you¡¯re overthinking, it was just a passing comment. Speaking of which, what happened to your elder brother?" In his heart, Mo Wuji deeply admired Lian Yingxian, as he did not know how what cultivation technique she used, and what means she had to disguise her cultivation level. Had he not used his spiritual eye, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to assess her cultivation level, which meant that from an outsider¡¯s point of view, Lian Yingxian was a completely ordinary person, which added that much more credibility to the prowess of her concealment technique. This was different from himself. Apart from a few top-notch cultivators, most cultivators would not be able to asses her cultivation level as he cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, which was unique in that the more one cultivated in the technique, the more ordinary the user would seem. A memory flashed across Jingfeng¡¯s mind, and after a moment of silence, he said, "10 years ago, when I was three, my brother came back from the sea and said he had felt some immortal spiritual energy. Afterwards, he sneaked out and went to Extreme Glade city to buy a few books about cultivation, and told me that he had discovered the hidden spiritual roots within him. However, my grandfather refused to even entertain the possibility of him becoming an cultivator, leaving him lost and helpless. He eventually married my sister in law under the insistence of my grandfather. Less than 3 months after sister in law came, my brother left a letter behind and left the village to join a sect, stating that he had to become an cultivator no matter what. Another few years passed, and people in the village were saying that something bad had happened to my brother while he was out venturing. When the rumours proved to be true, my grandfather allowed sister in law to go home, even giving her the liberty to decide whether she would remarry or not. She has been very kind to us, often dropping by to visit us because she¡¯s worried for grandfather." "What about your parents?" Wuji asked. Jingfeng got a little teary. "Not long after I was born, they got into an accident at sea and never returned." Mo Wuji sighed. No matter how safe the Extreme Glade ocean was, it was still a sea in the immortal world, and seafarers would inexplicably face some form of danger. "What happened to your aunt then? Has she always lived in Divergent Immortal Village? Was she older or younger than your brother?" Wuji asked. In reality, Mo Wuji was only asking this much for one sole reason - to find out more about Lian Yingxian¡¯s background and history. In his opinion, a Grand Luo immortal, even a genius at that, had to train for a few hundred years before achieving such prowess that Yingxian possessed. Jingfeng grinned and chuckled, " Big brother, my sister in law is not even thirty yet, if you indeed have feelings for her, my grandfather would definitely approve, I would be happy if you married her!" Wuji sneered in his mind. He knew that it was not possible. "We¡¯ll talk more about his next time, don¡¯t get the wrong idea. Before this, I even thought she was at least 40!" Still forgetting the fact that Wuji was an immortal, Jingfeng hastily refuted. "Impossible! What poor judgement you have big brother, my parents and her¡¯s were the best of friends, when she was born, my parents even went to congratulate them!" Wuji was taken aback by this fact, could it be possible that a person, not even at the age of thirty yet, could reach the later level of Grand Luo Immortal? Even with possession it would seem absurd. "It must be a mistake on Jingfeng¡¯s part," he thought to himself. Wuji did not plan on inquiring further, and without even asking about her parents, he decided to change the subject. "So, Jingfeng, what was it that you wanted to speak to me about?" It was only at this moment Jingfeng recalled why he was here. Patting the back of his head, he revealed, "Uhm.. It goes like this big brother, a month ago I caught a Red Herring, and today I went back to the place I caught it in search for more, but before I even got close, a blinding ray of white light rose from the depths of the ocean. Several white lights emerged, and an object shot out from within them, eventually landing in my boat." While speaking, Jingfeng took out a bunch of broken pieces and passed them to Wuji. "This is it," Jingfeng said. Array flag? Mo Wuji knew what they were once he received the pieces from Jingfeng. These pieces were as old as time, and even Wuji didn¡¯t know when they were made. Chapter 667: Choosing A Location For His Sect Chapter 667: Choosing A Location For His Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Jingfeng, please tell me the exact location." As soon as Mo Wuji saw the array flag, he made the decision to cross the Extreme Glade Sea. Although Mo Wuji¡¯s smithing skills were below average, after having practiced for some time now, his eye for the craft was not bad. The person that set up this defensive array, on top of his attainment in the Array Dao, his Equipment Dao was no worse than most people. An array flag made by a smithing expert of such calibre, how bad could its concealment ability be? Furthermore, this array flag came from the Extreme Glade Sea, which meant that the array had been broken, Mo Wuji had to move fast to reap any benefits. Once this news spread, it was unknown how many people would rush here. If those strong cultivators started to do battle here, the Divergent Immortal Village might very well be destroyed. "Brother Da Huang, I¡¯m too am unable to discern its exact location, why don¡¯t I accompany you over." Yu Jingfeng immediately stood up. Mo Wuji had already guessed that Yu Jingfeng was a mortal, with only a rough idea of where they were headed. His could only reply saying "Alright, let¡¯s set off now." ... Even without an exact idea the direction, Yu Jingfeng was still very familiar with the Extreme Glade Sea. After travelling for half the day, he stopped the fishing boat and pointed towards an unremarkable point saying, "This is the place, previously a long white pillar soared towards the sky, which resulted in many fragments falling down, one of the fragments that I previously gave you came from here¡­.." Before Yu Jingfeng finished what he had to say, streaks of whirlpools started forming in the direction that he was pointing at. Soon after, a white fog rushed out, even though it was not more than 10 feet high, it was at still a foot in length. A rich spiritual energy permeated the air, Mo Wuji realised that this was no ordinary location, and he immediately said. "Jingfeng, I am going down to take a look, wait for me up here." "Alright." Yu Jingfeng hurriedly answered. Mo Wuji¡¯s dashed forward, charging straight towards the ocean. Based on his current cultivation level, as soon as he entered the ocean, the water would immediately part for him. Even though there weren¡¯t any demonic beasts in the Extreme Glade Sea, the Yong Ying Immortal Domain was in fact a large, underwater domain. The location that Mo Wuji was at could only be considered in the periphery of the underwater domain, however it was still extremely deep. Based on Mo Wuji¡¯s current speed, it would take him more than an hour to descend to the bottom of the ocean. The moment he landed on the sea bed, a dense wave of spiritual energy blasted towards him. Given the density of the spiritual energy here, cultivating would definitely not be any less effective compared to Cultivating within the Gods Tower! Using his spiritual will to sweep across the seabed, Mo Wuji soon discovered a shattered array base. The dense spiritual energy was being released by this very array base. After coming out from the immortal sealing array, Mo Wuji¡¯s attainments in Array Dao was infinitely close to that of a Grade 6 array master. He didn¡¯t even need to use his spiritual will to scan the array base. With a look he knew that it was a spiritual sealing array. After confirming that there were no threats in his immediate surroundings, Mo Wuji entered the spiritual sealing array. A defensive water array then appeared in front of Mo Wuji, behind the water array was an array that blocked out spiritual will. As he looked past the arrays him, Mo Wuji saw a world of white crystals before him. After closely inspecting what the white crystals before him were, he was utterly stunned. Countless pieces of immortal crystal essence, streams and streams of spiritual energy flowing into the distance. The spiritual energy in this area took a physical form and flowed continuously into the depths. Mo Wuji sucked in a cold breath of air, just how much immortal crystal essences and spiritual energy veins was there in this place? Could there actually be someone storing all these resources in this location? Mo Wuji quickly threw this idea out of his head, this land of immortal crystal essences and spiritual energy veins continued for at least a thousand miles. Furthermore, there existed a spiritual energy vortex in the depths of this land, the source of these cultivation resources. Not only did this vortex not expel spiritual energy, it seemed to have been sucking in the spiritual energy from the outside world, storing it them in the depths of this spiritual sealing array. At this point, Mo Wuji thoroughly understood. The immortal crystal essence in this place and the spiritual energy energy were not hidden here by anyone, but were formed naturally. The spiritual vortex in this place had amassed all the spiritual energy in the surroundings into this area which, over time, led to the accumulation of immortal crystal essences and spiritual energy veins accumulating in this place. However, this also caused the quality of the resources to be of uneven quality. While good ones could be considered top grade products, there were some that could barely be considered low quality scraps. No wonder the Extreme Glade Sea barely had any spiritual energy or demonic beasts. All the spiritual energy had been accumulated into this one place, so having any spiritual energy on the outside would be surprising. The sparse amount of spiritual energy in this place would naturally result in fewer cultivators. With fewer cultivators, the chances of this area being discovered became smaller and smaller. If it had not been for the spiritual sealing array outside having been broken and discovered by Jingfeng, Mo Wuji himself would not have known that there would be so many treasures here. He began to suspect that the sparse amount of spiritual energy in the entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain was related to this place. It looked like the spiritual sealing array previously had been specially arranged by someone, Mo Wuji was not the first person to have discovered this place. This first person to have discovered this place had arranged the spiritual sealing array. Through the passage of time, the spiritual sealing array had gradually lost its effectiveness, resulting in the spiritual energy in this place flowing out. Mo Wuji used his spiritual sense to observe the surroundings and immediately understood, the spiritual energy in this area should not be so haphazardly touched. All the immortal crystal essence and the spiritual energy veins had formed here, and they had gradually stabilised in this place. If anyone of them were to be taken away, this could cause the entire area to collapse. If this place were truly to collapse, the spiritual energy that had been accumulated here would gradually disperse, resulting in an immense waste. Given his current capabilities, he had no way to move this entire area into his own Undying World. Even if he could move this entire area into his undying world, Mo Wuji would not want to do so. This place was naturally formed, and even had a top grade, naturally formed spiritual vortex. This was not something that could be arranged by anyone. While this place did in fact cause the surroundings to have and extremely sparse amount of spiritual energy, truly destroying this place was also too much of a waste. Given his rate of cultivation, if he relied on this place to cultivate in the future, he would definitely be able to quickly step into the Immortal King Stage. The thought of cultivating suddenly made Mo Wuji¡¯s heart tremble, was he not looking for someplace to set up Ping Fan? In his heart, Ping Fan was not only a sect, if not, he might as well have just named it the Buddhist Sect. He wanted to create a glorious and all-encompassing symbol for it, much like the Tian Ji Sect. Since he wanted to make Ping Fan become a symbol, then why couldn¡¯t he just establish the sect in this underwater domain? Once he became stronger, he would eventually obliterate Great Sword Path, Lightning sect, Vast Ocean Immortal School. He would eventually sweep these sects off their domains, leaving the greatest symbol of the Immortal World in this Extreme Glade Sea, Ping Fan. The more he thought the more emotional Mo Wuji got. As started to visualize the endless, glorious sect that he would create, Ping Fan. In this place, the only difference between the immortals and mortals were their life spans. This was a tough road to walk; Mo Wuji knew that he did not have the ability to make the entire Immortal World like this. But at the very least, he could do so in his own sect. After some time had passed, Mo Wuji gradually calmed his emotions and began to mend the spiritual sealing array with array flags. Even though he did not have the ability to establish his own sect now, he knew that this was the place he would establish his sect in the future and he could at least reserve this place for then. As he laid down the array flags one after the other, the spiritual energy that was previously dissipating from the area gradually stopped, once again being sealed in the array. Two days later, Mo Wuji finally rushed out of the sea. "Brother Da Huang...." As Yu Jingfeng saw Mo Wuji coming out of the water, he hurriedly rowed his fishing boat over. Mo Wuji landed on the boat and gave Yu Jingfeng a pat on his shoulder, he greatly appreciated Yu Jingfeng¡¯s gesture. The Extreme Glade Sea was extremely dangerous, even more so if one tried to stay the night. From what Yu Jingfeng had told him, Mo Wuji learnt that many villagers living in the Divergent Immortal Village had lost their lives in the Extreme Glade Sea. Hence, very few fishermen would stay overnight in the Extreme Glade Sea. Yu Jingfeng did not know that Mo Wuji had left an imprint on the boat to protect him, yet he still remained here and waited for Mo Wuji for two days, showing his excellent character. "Jingfeng, would you like to follow me to cultivate?" Mo Wuji finally asked. If he had not seen the vast amounts of immortal crystals essence and the spiritual energy veins, and had Yu Jingfeng not brought up the matter of cultivating, Mo Wuji himself would not have broached the subject. After having seen the vast amounts of the spiritual energy veins, and even having spiritual energy veins gathering in this place, Mo Wuji resolved to establish his own sect here. Since he wanted to establish his own sect, all the mortals in this area would be under his Ping Fan. Therefore, there was no harm in getting Jingfeng to start cultivating earlier. "Ah¡­" Yu Jingfeng stared at Mo Wuji with an expression of shock, and asked in a state of utter disbelief "Big Brother, I have no spiritual roots." Mo Wuji spoke in a grave tone, "Jingfeng, my path of cultivation just so happens to require people with no spiritual roots. I myself do not have a spiritual roots, but still managed to cultivate to this level today." Yu Jingfeng had no idea what level Mo Wuji had cultivated to, but the moment he heard that it was still possible to cultivate without a spiritual root, he immediately knelt on the floor and exclaimed "Brother¡­no, Master, I am willing to have you as my master to cultivate." Yu Jingfeng had a simple character, yet was not naive or foolish, very quickly changed the way he addressed Mo Wuji to ¡®Master¡¯. Mo Wuji nodded his head and said "The way that we cultivate may be shocking to others, but once this news spreads, it would be hard to know whether it would be beneficial to us or not. So if you follow me to cultivate, you cannot let anyone else find out, even if it¡¯s your grandfather or sister in law. This is the first condition, can you agree to this?" "Yes Master, I can definitely fulfill this condition." Yu Jingfeng agreed without any hesitation. "Ok, the second condition is that as long as your life is not in danger, you absolutely cannot use your techniques. The third condition is that you have to maintain your current state of mind, do not become like some cultivators and think of mortals as ants, something that you can kill on a whim. The fourth condition, this place that we are at and everything that you have seen, cannot be told to anyone." Mo Wuji continued. The moment that Yu Jingfeng used his techniques, he would expose his method of cultivation. This was the reason why even when Mo Wuji himself cultivated, he had to be extremely prudent, never daring to say that he did not have spiritual roots, he always lived with the reputation that he had trash spiritual roots. "Yes Master, disciple will do as you say." Yu Jingfeng resolutely replied. "Good, since this is the case, let us return first. Come to my place in two days time and I will help you open your meridians." Mo Wuji was also very satisfied, since Yu Jingfeng was the first official disciple he had accepted since the time that he himself had started cultivating. Chapter 668: A Situation Arises Chapter 668: A Situation Arises Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before Mo Wuji could reach ashore, his spiritual will swept through the numerous villagers who were pacing nervously at the front of Yu Jingfeng house, while apparently Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian were still not back home. According to Yu Jingfeng, Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian would only need two days to go Extreme Glade City, however, they should have been back since it had already been the third day. Furthermore, with the nervous villagers pacing around Yu Jingfeng house, Mo Wuji guessed that something was amiss. He immediately took a Dry Wimple Pill and altered his appearance. In this present life, Mo Wuji¡¯s resembled himself in his previous life, but as his cultivation level rose, his skeleton got restructured, and he advanced to God Physique, his new appearance became even closer to what he looked like on Earth In terms of aura, Mo Wuji had always been a mortal and the biggest change he had was this unchanging aura. "Master, your appearance..." Yu Jingfeng commented as he saw that Mo Wuji¡¯s appearance grew to become more rugged, showing a close resemblance to a fisherman who spent most of his time fishing at sea. "It is common for a cultivator to change his appearance, for I have offended a number of people, therefore, I have to change my appearance in order to prevent them from seeking revenge." Mo Wuji explained. Mo Wuji chose to be more cautious, even though he believed that people from either Lightning Sect or Great Sword Path would not dare to chase him till Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Each time he was severely injured meant a time he grew.. The restructuring of his bones and flesh as he advanced to God Physique meant not only a transformation of his body, but also in his life experiences. "Jingfeng, I guess both your grandfather and sister-in-law has met with some trouble. You have to remember, regardless whatever happens, you must not panic. As a cultivator, it is important to stay calm." At that moment, the fishing boat reached the shore, as Mo Wuji comforted and pat Yu Jingfeng¡¯s shoulder while he was anchoring the boat. This was from Mo Wuji¡¯s personal experience. Ever since he entered the cultivation world, he had always been constantly reminding himself to stay calm. As a matter of fact, due to his ability to stay calm, this aided him to escape several disasters. The last time he failed to keep his cool, it almost caused his demise at the outskirts of Da Yi Immortal City. If he was calm enough, he would have noticed something was wrong and stopped before he continued his journey towards Da Yi Immortal City. He has always thought that his change in appearance would not be noticed, but in fact, there was someone who has noticed it. This showed that there was no absolute thing in the world. Therefore, it was best to plan for the worst before committing any action. "Ah..." Yu Jingfeng exclaimed, "Master, what could have happened to my grandfather and sister-in-law?" "Let¡¯s head back first before we talk about this, and next time address me as Brother Da Huang when there are people around, you will address me as Master only when there is no one else." Mo Wuji exhorted. "Jingfeng!" Someone at the beachside shouted out before Yu Jingfeng could reply Mo Wuji. After which, a tanned skin and strong looking youth trotted over. Yu Jingfeng replied hastily, "What is the matter, Brother Ju Cai." The strong youth briefly gazed at Mo Wuji before he eagerly replied, "Jingfeng, something happened to your grandfather and sister-in-law..." Yu Jingfeng was in a daze, as he started to panic. What his master has mentioned previously was turning out to be true? He subconsciously looked at Mo Wuji, immediately he remembered that his master was an immortal master, therefore, it was not surprising for him to know beforehand. As he thought of this point, Yu Jingfeng started to calm down. "Brother Ju Cai, what actually happened?" Yu Jingfeng asked calmly while suppressing his nervousness, as he remembered what Mo Wuji had taught him. The youth, Ju Cai, was suspicious of Yu Jingfeng¡¯s calmness,and he was slightly stunned for a moment before he hurriedly replied, "Both your grandfather and sister-in-law offended Seaside Trade Union of Extreme Glade City, and they were detained by the people from the Seaside Trade Union." Upon hearing the news of both his grandfather and sister-in-law being detained by Seaside Trade Union, Yu Jingfeng could no longer keep his cool, and began displaying a panicked expression on his face. Before he could ask Mo Wuji for help, a few others came running along, and eagerly said, "Jingfeng, you have to hurry to Extreme Glade City, your grandfather and sister-in-law have been detained by the people from Seaside Trade Union." "Brother Da Huang..." Yu Jingfeng who was trying to keep calm became flustered, as he looked to Mo Wuji. It would have been okay if something minor happened to his grandfather and sister-in-law, but Seaside Trade Union was the largest trade union in Extreme Glade City, and according to rumors, this trade union was linked with Immortals, even the union head and managers were all Immortals. It would be impossible to save anyone who had been detained by them. "Jingfeng, who is he?" A middle-aged woman asked hesitantly after seeing Mo Wuji. Yu Jingfeng could not hear other people¡¯s words as he could only think about his grandfather and gister-in-law. Mo Wuji took the initiative and said, " I came from Light Glade Village, and due to some mishap that happened in Light Glade village, only both Yingxian and I managed to escape. As I do not have a place to go, I could only stay at Jingfeng¡¯s house." After knowing how it turned out to be, the people around felt relieved. Everyone knew what happened to Light Glade Village, even the people from Divergent Immortal Village knew about the fact that Lian Yingxian managed to barely escape. Lian Yingxian was Yu Jingfeng¡¯s sister-in-law, and because she hardly came out, the people did not know whether there were only one or two survivors from the Light Glade Village. "Everyone should head back first, Jingfeng and I will have a look in Extreme Glade City." As Yu Jingfeng did not know what to do, Mo Wuji had taken initiative and spoke. Yu Jingfeng started to recall what Mo Wuji taught him, and the panic on his face also started to ease up a little, but he felt a little uneasy too, as he did not know whether his master would be disappointed in him for his failure to keep calm. But he could not help but feel anxious. If both his grandfather and sister-in-law were gone, what use would that be for him to cultivate. "Yes, Brother Da Huang and I will head over to take a look, Brother Ju Cai, Uncle Kui, Aunt Ping, you guys should head back first, I doubt anything will happen to them." Yu Jingfeng was still trying to keep calm while replying with a shaky voice. Some of the people could only sigh, as they could not be of any help. Seaside Trade Union was not somewhere they could negotiate at. They heard that people who were taken away by Seaside Trade Union would most likely die. "By the way, does anyone of you know why would Seaside Trade Union detain people?" Mo Wuji asked. He was thinking since Lian Yingxian was a advanced Grand Luo Immortal, whose strength is better than his, therefore, how could she be detained by a trade union. Even though Mo Wuji had not been to Extreme Glade City, yet he knew that there was no high level cultivator in this city. Ju Cai, the strong looking youth who came the earliest, replied, " I do not know the details, but I heard Sister Yingxian took something from the trade union." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He thought that Lian Yingxian was a Grand Luo Immortal, and he suspected whether this was the thing that Duo Sheng brought back. If that was true, it would only mean trouble. This expert must be at Immortal King level, as Lian Yingxian, a advanced Grand Luo Immortal, could not handle him. He himself had already offended a few Grand Immortal Emperors, and things were starting to stabilise, therefore, if he were to mess with this expert, he was afraid that he would be exposed soon. This area had a location for cultivation where nobody could disturb him. For Mo Wuji this was the most suitable place for him to cultivate. He did not wish to be on the run anymore, and nor was he willing to expose his identity. "Brother Da Huang..." Yu Jingfeng could only look at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji tried to speak gently, "Let''s go take a look at Extreme Glade City, whether the situation is good or bad, eventually we will have to make a trip there. Furthermore, no matter what, do not panic, this is my second and final warning to you." "Yes¡­" Yu Jingfeng hurriedly lowered his head. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will scanned Extreme Glade City. A mortal city like it, unexpectedly had a defensive array that blocked out all spiritual will. Although Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could penetrate through this defensive array, he did not do so. If his spiritual will entered the array and spied on the situation inside, the cultivator who was controlling this defensive array would be alerted immediately. Right now he was on the run, and hence could not afford to expose himself. Once he did, who knew how many ruthless men would come to kill him. ... The distance between Extreme Glade City and Extreme Glade Sea¡¯s beach was not too great. By beast carriage, it would only take half a day for mortals to arrive there. Mo Wuji along with Yu Jingfeng, definitely would not require half a day. After he left Divergent Immortal Village, he immediately teleported to the outskirts of Extreme Glade City. "Master..." Yu Jingfeng shockingly cried out, as he looked upon Extreme Glade City. A few moments ago, both Jingfeng and his master were still at Divergent Immortal Village, but moments later, both of them were standing right outside of Extreme Glade City. "This will be an easy feat for you in the future." Mo Wuji said. Yu Jingfeng took a deep breath, with both his fists clenched. If he did not have any ideas about cultivation previously, well now he definitely The walls of Extreme Glade City were all stacked by huge black rocks, the riot of colors for the sign ¡®Extreme Glade City¡¯ that was placed on the exteriors of the walls showed that this was a city with a long history. In fact, Mo Wuji knew the history of Extreme Glade City and compared to the other immortal cities, it could be said that it had been set up. The reason for such a mottled appearance was because, other than the hidden array, there were no protective array and immortal spiritual veins. Given a few hundred years duration, everything could be mottled by the elements of nature. What led Mo Wuji to be surprised was the two guards that are situated at the entrance of Extreme Glade City. The two guards seemed to be guarding the entrance, and they do not charge any fees into the city. Even though this may be a common mortal city, Mo Wuji did not utilize his own spiritual will. With the presence of the protective array that is shielded against spiritual will, this has already stated that there was an immortal. He had long-term plans in mind and would not expose himself over such a trifle matter. Even without the use of spiritual will, some of the low-level immortals¡¯ cultivation could be clearly seen by Mo Wuji. Even Golden Immortals were not the strongest, as there were advanced Heavenly Immortals around. Most of them are just common mortals, normal cultivators, whose cultivation were not at the immortal realm yet.. Mo Wuji actually planned to find and question a person on the whereabouts for Seaside Trade Union, however, he knew he did not need to look any further after entering Extreme Glade City. The huge words of Seaside Trade Union could be seen clearly within 10 meters. The words that were erected up in the sky, clearly displayed the power of Seaside Trade Union in Extreme Glade City. The city¡¯s government might not even be as powerful as Seaside Trade Union. Chapter 669: Seaside Trade Union Chapter 669: Seaside Trade Union Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Mo Wuji walked into the first level hall of Seaside Trade Union, he thought that he had walked into a modern office building. The first level hall was very spacious, and towards the interior, there were a row of counters. There weren¡¯t items on sale on these counters. Instead, there were various signs. For example, there was the Sea Commodity Trade Counter, the Grain Trade Counter, the Fishing Gear Trade Counter, etc. Within every counter, there was a sales attendant. Behind the counter was a door that led to a different room. Such a clear demarcation ostensibly had a huge effect on their efficiency. Within the hall, there were several people waiting for their turn. Mo Wuji listened in to their conversations briefly and he found that most of them were doing wholesale. On the path towards the second floor, there was a huge sign. The sign wrote: Immortal Crystal Trade and Treasure Trade on the 2nd Floor. "Is this friend interested in a trade?" Noticing Mo Wuji wait at the second floor sign for a long time, a sales attendant approached him. Mo Wuji said, "Is your manager here? I want to ask about how to trade immortal crystals." Immortal crystal trade? When this sales attendant heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, he jolted slightly, then he hurriedly said, "Friend, not everything can be traded for immortal crystals. Why don¡¯t you let me take a look at your item first? If it¡¯s truly worth it, then I can bring you to the second floor." Mo Wuji¡¯s face sunk, "What kind of thing are you? You dare to see my precious? Go call your boss. If he doesn¡¯t come, don¡¯t blame me for finding some other person to trade with." As Mo Wuji was speaking, he had already sent his spiritual will throughout Seaside Trade Union. As expected, Seaside Trade Union was filled with different spiritual will inhibiting seals. Not only was the spiritual will unable to invade the second floor, it wasn¡¯t even able to penetrate into the ground. "What¡¯s your precious?" A low voice sounded over. Thereafter, a middle-aged man in golden robes walked over. This was a late stage Heavenly Immortal. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to use his spiritual will to discern this middle-aged man¡¯s cultivation. "Who are you?" Mo Wuji asked. The sales attendant hurriedly said, "This is our Seaside Trade Union¡¯s Deacon Wu. The immortal crystal trade on the second floor is managed by Deacon Wu." Mo Wuji casually took out a Tier 4 immortal herb, a Green Perch Wood, and said, "This is an immortal herb that I managed to obtain. I¡¯m not too sure what tier it is, but I know that it releases a comfortable sensation when I hold it in my hand. Clearly, it is not simple." Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s Green Perch Wood, this Deacon Wu¡¯s eyes shone. Immediately, he nodded calmly, "That¡¯s right. This is indeed a Tier 2 immortal herb, the Green Spiritual Grass. It can be exchanged for immortal crystals. Follow me up then. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. This fella was truly shameless, a Tier 4 immortal herb had been instantly reduced to being a mere Tier 2 herb. Moreover, the Green Perch Wood was a pretty good Tier 4 immortal herb. This herb could be used to concoct the Deadwood Pill. The Deadwood Pill was a cosmetic pill. After using the pill, your facial appearance wouldn¡¯t change. Even to immortals, it was a rather valuable pill. As for the Tier 2 Green Spiritual Grass, Mo Wuji had never heard of such a herb even though he was already a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. "I¡¯m not selling this immortal herb. I just want to exchange it for two people." Mo Wuji placed the Green Perch Wood back in his pocket. When he did that, his hand trembled slightly, making it seem as though he was feeling afraid. When Deacon Wu saw Mo Wuji¡¯s actions, he frowned slightly and said impatiently, "Exchange for who?" "My Grandpa Yu Cheng and my sister-in-law Lian Yingxian," Yu Jingfeng, who was behind Mo Wuji, said hurriedly. Deacon Wu¡¯s face sunk. His tone immediately turned cold as he said, "The two of them have committed a grave crime. We are temporarily unable to allow them to leave Seaside Trade Union." "Then Lord Immortal Master, can you allow us to see them?" Mo Wuji asked in a seemingly worried tone. Deacon Wu suddenly revealed a smile, "Of course you can. Our Seaside Trade Union is a reasonable place. Moreover, Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian wouldn¡¯t be confined for long. Once we complete our investigation, we will let them off." "Then we will have to trouble Lord Immortal Master to lead the way." Mo Wuji smiled fearfully. "Alright, then follow me." Deacon Wu didn¡¯t say anything further as he started walking. Mo Wui was clear about what was on this Deacon Wu¡¯s mind: he wanted to lead them to Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian, before bringing them away and taking his Green Perch Wood. However, he acted ignorant as he brought Yu Jingfeng to follow Deacon Wu in. After a few minutes, Deacon Wu had brought them in front of the deepest room in the building. Then, he opened the door. The moment they entered the room, Mo Wuji saw a seal. Deacon Wu then took out a jade token and tapped on the seal. A dull and gloomy staircase appeared in the center of the room. Deacon Wu casually said to Mo Wuji and Yu Jingfeng, "There¡¯re down there. Follow me then." As they headed down the staircase, the air got increasingly moist. After walking for two whole minutes, they finally arrived in an underground prison. There wasn¡¯t any spiritual will inhibiting seals in this place. With a quick sweep, one could see that there were tens of steel jail cells, and almost all these cells were housing prisoners. A nauseating smell filled the air. Mo Wuji saw that there were some decomposing corpses within a few of the cells. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes soon came to Yu Cheng and Lian Yingxian. Lian Yingxian was at the corner of her cell and a jailer was standing in front of her, seemingly forcing her to do something. This jailer seemed to be really into it; even after the three arrived, he didn¡¯t even notice it. Even after Lian Yingxian¡¯s repeated rejection and shaking of her head, he extended his hand and ripped off Lian Yingxian¡¯s top. Lian Yingxian shriekd in fear as she cowered deeper in the corner. At the moment, Deacon Wu grunted. This jailer finally became aware of the situation and he urgently ran out and bowed towards Deacon Wu, "Lord Deacon." "Go and empty a room. The prisoners¡¯ family has arrived," Deacon Wu said calmly. "Yes." After this jailer responded, he swept his eyes across Mo Wuji and Yu Jingfeng, a hint of disdain could be seen within them. The two of them were suddenly thrown into a cell. Yu Jingfeng looked at Deacon Wu in fear, then turned to Mo Wuji and asked in disbelief, "Brother Da Huang, we¡­ we¡¯re going to be trapped here?" When they entered, Yu Jingfeng already saw the conditions here in this prison. He knew that if he was imprisoned here, then there was no other way out other than death. Mo Wuji was also speechless. He thought that Deacon Wu would only want the Green Perch Wood. He didn¡¯t expect that this fella would be so evil, to simply bring them down here and lock them up. Indeed, in the eyes of these immortals, mortals weren¡¯t even worth as much as ants. "Jingfeng, why are you here?" When Yu Cheng saw Yu Jingfeng, anxiety started to fill his heart. It was true that Mo Wuji was an immortal masters, but the entire Seaside Trade Union was full of immortal masters. Mo Wuji also asked in shock, "Lord Immortal Master, we are also going to be imprisoned here?" Even though he was speaking, Mo Wuji was actually inwardly filled with confusion. Lian Yingxian was a late stage Grand Luo Immortal. Even if she had intentionally allowed herself to be captured, she wouldn¡¯t be bullied to such a degree, right? Before the middle-aged deacon could reply, a wave of tremors could be felt. Thereafter, a thin man dragged a relatively fat man in. "Union head¡­" When Deacon Wu saw the person being dragged by thin man, he cried out in astonishment. Mo Wuji was thinking: So this relatively fat fella was the union head. His cultivation was indeed higher than Deacon Wu; he was already at the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage. However, the thin man dragging him was even more powerful, he was a early stage Grand Yi Immortal. A Grand Yi Immortal actually appeared in a tiny mortal city. Deacon Wu could also easily tell that this thin man was very strong. Even the union head had been captured. For this thin man to kill him, it was even easier than flipping his palm. He subconsciously started to retreat. But just on his third step, this thin Grand Yi Immortal casually shot out a radiant blade. Deacon Wu was directly cut in half; even his primordial spirit didn¡¯t have a chance to escape. "Who¡¯s from Light Glade Village?" After this Grand Yi Immortal killed Deacon Wu, he seemed as though nothing had happened as he calmly asked that question. Mo Wuji immediately transmitted a message to Yu Jingfeng, instructing Yu Jingfeng to speak the truth. Thus, Yu Jingfeng hurriedly said, "Answering Lord Immortal Master, my sister-in-law is from Light Glade Village." Lian Yingxian seemed to just regain her countenance and she hurriedly said, "I¡¯m from Light Glade City, ah¡­" Hearing Lian Yingxian say ¡®Ah¡¯, this thin Grand Yi Immortal asked, "Do you know this person?" As he was speaking, he brought the fat man in front of Lian Yingxian. Lian Yingxian nodded, "Yes, he is the person that went to Light Glade Village and killed Duo Sheng and Duo Cai¡­" "Explain what happened in greater detail." The thin Grand Yi Immortal¡¯s eyes shone, while his voice became laced with a hint of killing intent. Lian Yingxian did not dare to hide anything. With a hint of caution, she said, "He came to Light Glade Village with another person. They forced Duo Sheng to take out a jade box. After Duo Sheng took that jade box out, he killed Duo Sheng and Duo Cai. At this moment, he was betrayed by the other person, and they ended up fighting." "Union Head Rong Xu, I didn¡¯t think that you would be the thief that cries thief. You took the item, but you actually imprisoned the witnesses here, then acted as though nothing happened? I give you three breaths, tell me where¡¯s the item?" The thin Grand Yi Immortal laughed coldly and threw the fat man onto the ground. The cracking sounds of bones shattering could be heard, and that Union Head Rong Xu hurriedly cried out, "Senior, please show mercy. Indeed, I have kept the item for myself. I will take it out for you¡­" "There¡¯s no need for so much nonsense. If you don¡¯t take it out, I will directly kill you. If you take it out, I will spare your life, but I will cut off one of your limbs." As this thin Grand Yi Immortal finished speaking, he had already formed a radiant blade and sliced off one of Rong Xu¡¯s arms. "I will take it out, I will take it out¡­" Rong Xu knew that if he delayed any further, the other party would definitely kill him. As he was speaking, Rong Xu had already retrieved a jade box. Even Mo Wuji didn¡¯t see where this fella got the jade box from. He sighed in his heart: All this fellas have their own unscrupulous methods. This Rong Xu had been betrayed by his companion, but he was the one that survived. Seeing that his companion was already dead, this fella started to cry thief. Cleaarly, he knew that the news of this jade box would be revealed. Mo Wuji even suspected that he intentionally let himself get betrayed. And this Grand Yi Immortal was even more impressive. He was actually able to track it all the way to Rong Xu. The thin Grand Yi Immortal opened the jade box, and a rich water-type energy was immediately detected by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes sparkled; even in his dreams, he never thought that he would encounter a Water Elemental Bead in a mortal city. Chapter 670: Primal Water Crystal Chapter 670: Primal Water Crystal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t intend to massacre everyone here; so he didn''t extend his spiritual will, but secretly used his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will. Spiritual will from the spirit storage channel was different from that from the sea of consciousness; the former was extremely obscure. Moreover, Mo Wuji''s cultivation was vastly higher than the other party; so when his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will landed on the jade box, that Grand Yi Immortal didn''t even notice it. However, when Mo Wuji saw what was in the box, he immediately became disappointed. The item inside was indeed valuable enough to topple cities; it was a treasure that even Xu Suren wouldn''t be willing to casually take out. To water-type cultivators, even Immortal Emperors, this treasure was simply too hard to find. But to Mo Wuji, this thing wasn''t anything much. Because in the jade box, there was a primal water crystal. No matter how valuable the primal water crystal was, it would never be enough to replace a Water Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji also had 11 primal fire crystals, but wasn''t he still lacking the Fire Elemental Bead? However, Mo Wuji soon recalled that the primal fire crystals were born together with the Fire Elemental Bead. Could this be the case for this primal water crystal as well? Since this Grand Yi Immortal was able to track the crystal here, he should have been following some clues. Since there were clues, then he might know exactly where the primal water crystal came from. He would not dare to ask Xu Suren about the origins of Xu Suren''s primal water crystal for fear of revealing his Undying World, but that didn''t mean that he wouldn''t dare to ask a mere Grand Yi Immortal. Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, he heard a loud explosion. Immediately, his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will detected three figures sprinting into this basement. As for the seal outside the basement, it had been forcefully destroyed by these three people. Mo Wuji hurriedly left a spiritual will imprint on the primal water crystal, then onto this Grand Yi Immortal, before he finally retracted his spiritual will. The three figures had already landed in front of them. The one in front was actually a beautiful and young girl. This young girl had a slender figure; her long hair was tied into a bun; her eyes were big and bright; and her skin was looked so delicate, it seemed like it would break with a simple blow. As she stood there releasing her young and vigorous aura, it gave a sense of comfort and solace. The moment Mo Wuji saw this young girl, he was reminded of Su Xi. He wondered whether Su Xi was doing well. And there was Han Qingru; did she manage to escape Da Yi Immortal City? Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low. He was completely helpless to do anything. This young girl''s cultivation wasn''t very high; it was only at the late Xuan Immortal Stage. The two people beside her, however, were rather powerful. The cultivator on her left was a Great Circle Grand Luo Immortal, while the black faced elder on her right was a true intermediate stage Immortal King. The young girl''s gaze quickly swept through the crowd, and it soon landed on Rong Xu. Her tone was especially cold as she said, "You should be Seaside Trade Union¡¯s Rong Xu, right? Tell me, where did you lock Zhe Sang up in?" Mo Wuji quickly understood the reason why these people were here. There were like him; they came to find a person. Seaside Trade Union had committed far too many evil deeds; they were bound to face their retribution. This time, they didn''t only offend him, but they also offended a fella that had the backing of an Immortal King. Originally, Mo Wuji intended to exchange his friends for his herb and leave, then he would secretly come back to raze the entire Seaside Trade Union. But from the looks of it, this wasn''t necessary. When this young girl asked about Zhe Sang, Rong Xu was instantly at a loss. Even though this Rong Xu looked very blank, Mo Wuji could clearly feel his fear. "I know!" A man in the cell by the side suddenly shouted loudly. "Zhe Sang had been imprisoned in the cell opposite mine. However, he died a few days ago, and his corpse hasn''t even been removed yet." As he was speaking, this man was already pointing towards the cell across of his. Within that cell, there was a corpse shackled to the wall. That corpse had already started to turn black. Rong Xu started shivering and he said anxiously, "It''s none of my business. I didn''t even know that he was being locked up here. It was Deacon Wu¡­" Before he could even finish speaking, the Grand Yi Immortal closest to him had already sliced downwards with a radiant blade. At the same time, he shouted harshly, "Human scum! Including my nephew, how many people have you killed?" The radiant blade contained some fire type energy. As it descended, both Rong Xu¡¯s body and soul burned into ash. Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. This fella was decisive and smart. He knew that if this matter continued any further, Rong Xu would expose the matter of his primal water crystal. Thus, he directly eliminated Rong Xu. As expected, this pretty and young girl turned to this Grand Yi Immortal and said, "Your nephew has also been imprisoned by this person?" That Grand Yi Immortal nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Yes. This person is simply a scum of the Immortal World. He''s an immortal but he actually goes around slaughtering mortals. He even built himself this evil, underground prison." That young girl nodded, "Not bad. You were right to kill him." The Grand Yi Immortal then clasped his fists and said, "Lu Tong will take my leave now then. We will meet again if fate permits." When he finished speaking, he shot Mo Wuji and co. a vicious glance, then turned and left swiftly. Mo Wuji was slightly speechless. This young girl was truly too inexperienced. That Grand Yi Immortal revealed so many loopholes in his words but she didn''t even detect a single bit of it. There should at least be ten thousand holes in that Grand Yi Immortal¡¯s words right? Perhaps even more. His nephew''s father was his brother, who should also be an immortal of considerable cultivation. Usually, unless there were unique circumstances, the direct descendants of immortals would have spiritual roots. However, this fella actually said that his nephew was a mortal. Just that sentence alone was already problematic. Let''s take a step back. Even if his nephew was truly a mortal, his nephew''s longevity would be limited and he probably wouldn''t have lived till this day. It wasn''t that this was impossible, but the possibility of that was incredibly rate. Moreover, was his nephew an idiot? He simply remained silent after being caught by Seaside Trade Union? He only needed to say that he had an uncle that was a Grand Yi Immortal. Would Seaside Trade Union still dare to touch him then? "Little miss, that man that just left seems to have lied to you." After that Grand Yi Immortal left, that Immortal King suddenly uttered. That pretty, young girl frowned slightly, then she immediately snorted angrily, "Father was indeed right. There are truly too many insidious people in the world. If we were to meet again in the future, I would definitely teach him a lesson." In that simple sentence, Mo Wuji knew that this pretty girl was relatively kind. If it was an average person, he would not have taught a lesson, but directly killed that Grand Yi Immortal. He might even have called the Immortal King to chase and kill that Grand Yi Immortal. "Who are you?" The young girl''s gaze then turned to Mo Wuji and Yu Jingfeng. Yu Jingfeng hurriedly said, "My grandfather and my sister were caught. Brother Da Huang and I came to see them, but these people also wanted to imprison us here." The young girl nodded, "Not bad. Ecen though you know that Seaside Trade Union has immortals, you mortals still came to save your relatives." When she finished speaking, this young girl raised her hand, conjuring multiple radiant blades which swept through the prison and sliced the steel bars of the prison cells. After doing that, she said, "Everyone, leave. Next time, try not to interact with such venomous trade unions." After the people in the cells obtained their freedom, they immediately fled. Even those that were immobile struggled to drag themselves out. Yu Jingfeng hurriedly went to support Yu Cheng. On the other hand, Lian Yunxian held her chest closely, not daring to stand up. That young girl casually threw a set of clothes to Lian Yingxian, and at the same time, formed a concealment seal over her. After some time, Lian Yingxian emerged from the seal wearing those clothes and bowed gratefully towards that young girl. That young girl sized Lian Yingxian up, then she suddenly said, "Are you willing to follow me to the immortal city?" Lian Yingxian had already regained her spirit by this time. When she heard these words, she did not hesitate to shake her head, "Immortal master, many thanks for your appreciation. However, I am more used to life by the sea." A hint of disappointment appeared on the young girl''s face, then she promptly said, "Where do you stay at?" "Divergent Immortal Village." Lian Yingxian replied respectfully. "I understand." With that, the young girl then turned to the two other immortals, "Let''s go then." In a flash, the three had already disappeared. Yu Cheng knew that Mo Wuji was an immortal. He was not surprised that Mo Wuji had changed his appearance. He hurriedly tried to thank Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji raised his hand to stop him, "Let''s head back first." At the same time, Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel''s spiritual will landed on Lian Yingxian''s body. Soon, he felt that something was amiss. Lian Yingxian''s cultivation seemed rather peculiar. When he first saw her, she was a Grand Luo Immortal. But when he used his spiritual will to observe her, it looked as though she had never cultivated before. Could his spiritual eye be wrong previously? Lian Yingxian truly never cultivated before? As he thought of this, his spiritual will directly entered into Lian Yingxian. After a few breaths of time, a strange expression appeared on Mo Wuji''s face. Lian Yingxian did not have a cultivation; she was as ordinary as a mortal. Thereafter, Mo Wuji directly condensed his spiritual eye, and Lian Yingxian¡¯s cultivation soon reappeared. It was truly the late Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Her spirituality had been completely restrained within her, and not a single bit leaked out. If you were to merely observe her physical body, it really looked as though she had never cultivated. From the looks of it, Lian Yingxian¡¯s body was indeed rather peculiar. However, Mo Wuji was still thinking about that primal water crystals; so he decided to go look for it first. After that matter ended, he would return to Divergent Immortal Village to ask Lian Yingxian about this. Many people already knew that a calamity had befallen Seaside Trade Union. No one found it weird that Mo Wuji and co. escaped from Seaside Trade Union. In fact, there were many people standing outside spectating the scene. As for the counters on the first floor hall, they were long emptied; there were no longer any sales attendents within them. "Jingfeng, don¡¯t look around. Hurry up." Seeing Yu Jingfeng look at the gathering crowds in curiosity, Yu Cheng called out to him. Yu Jingfeng hurriedly lowered his head, and the four of them swiftly left Extreme Glade City. After experiencing all that, Yu Cheng didn¡¯t even mention about how his Thousand Fusing Rice had been taken away by Seaside Trade Union. To him, it was more important to get back to Divergent Immortal Village. "Jingfeng, Uncle Cheng, I have some matters to tend to. When I¡¯m done, I will return," Mo Wuji said the moment they left Extreme Glade City. He felt his spiritual will imprint getting further and further. He was worried that something might go wrong. "Good, good. Go on then. We¡¯re fine here." Hearing Mo Wuji call him Uncle Cheng, Yu Cheng felt some slight fear. Today, he personally witnessed how terrifying immortals were. With two simple waves of their hands, Seaside Trade Union¡¯s union head and Deacon Wu were sliced in half. Chapter 671: Lake of Poison Chapter 671: Lake of Poison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment he left Extreme Glade City, Mo Wuji reverted back to his original appearance. From a seaside fisherman, he turned into a white faced scholar. He then radiated his spirituality; so at first glance, he seemed to be a Grand Yi Immortal. Mo Wuji''s Wind Escape Technique had already reached the third level - Wind Teleportation. Thus, even without using a flying treasure, his movement speed was in no way slow. In merely half a day, Mo Wuji caught up to that Grand Yi Immortal''s flying ship. The seals on the flying ship were merely decorations in front of Mo Wuji. With a single flip of his hand, Mo Wuji directly tore the seals on the flying ship apart. "Who are you?" The thin Grand Yi Immortal, who was sitting on the main deck, sprang up in surprise. He stared warily at his sudden intruder. He was concentrated on controlling his ship; so he didn''t even detect it when Mo Wuji approached him. Moreover, his ship was supposed to have seals. However, he didn''t even feel anything when they were destroyed by Mo Wuji. "Take it out." As Mo Wuji was speaking, he had already formed ten enigmatic hand seals, reinforcing and modifying the ship''s previous seals. A hint of astonishment fleeted through the thin Grand Yi Immortal''s eyes. Based on that action alone, he knew that he definitely wasn''t a match for Mo Wuji. "Immortal friend, may I ask?" This Grand Yi Immortal forcefully suppressed his fear as he asked in confusion. Mo Wuji waved his hand and a radiant blade sliced outwards. This Grand Yi Immortal clearly saw Mo Wuji sending the radiant blade towards him, but he was unable to even dodge. He could only stare as one of his arms got sliced off by Mo Wuji. "I will take it out." Before Mo Wuji could do anything further, this Grand Yi Immortal retrieved the jade box with the primal water crystal and threw it to Mo Wuji. He was sure that Mo Wuji was here for the primal water crystal. If he continued to feign ignorance, it would only bring his death closer. However, his heart was filled with reluctance and resentment. He went through great lengths to obtain this primal water crystal, but in the blink of an eye, it was taken away. When Mo Wuji received the jade box, how spiritual will directly erased the existing imprints on the box. Thereafter, he threw the primal water crystal into his Undying World. Feeling his imprints disappear without a trace, this Grand Yi Immortal knew in his heart that this primal water crystal was no longer his. Now, he could only worry about how he was going to preserve his own life. "Immortal friend, I''ve already handed the thing over to you," This Grand Yi Immortal said as he saw Mo Wuji keep the primal water crystal, seemingly reminding Mo Wuji of the matter. Mo Wuji maintained an indifferent expression as he said calmly, "How did you find out about this primal water crystal. If you dare to miss out a single word, I will slowly roast your primordial spirit and your soul." As he was speaking, Mo Wuji flashed out his Scholar''s Heart. The Scholar''s Heart was already a Grade 7 immortal flame. Just from its aura alone, this Grand Yi Immortal could feel the impending feeling of death. He stared aghast at the Scholar''s Heart. He knew that Mo Wuji only needed a single thought to burn him in his body and soul. How could a Grand Yi Immortal possess a Grade 7 immortal flame? He immediately knew that Mo Wuji wasn''t a Grand Yi Immortal, but something much higher. "I''ll speak, I''ll speak," This Grand Yi Immortal did not hesitate to say. He was very clear that Mo Wuji wasn''t bluffing. He, himself, had always been doing such things. He knew that was the method to quickly force a person to reveal the truth. Mo Wuji was currently using this method. "One year ago, because I was heavily injured, I entered seclusion in Mount Kongji. Two cultivators happened to battle in the vicinity. I recognised one of them, he was Seaside Trade Union''s Rong Xu. The battle was very intense, and eventually, Rong Xu managed to kill his opponent using a talisman. He retrieved a jade box from his opponent''s storage ring, which was this primal water crystal. During that time, I thought of snatching it away. It was just that my injuries hadn''t healed fully; so I could only leave it as that. Not long ago, my injuries had healed fully. That''s why I immediately went to Seaside Trade Union to snatch this primal water crystal away." If Mo Wuji didn''t witness the event personally, and knew that Light Glade Village¡¯s Duo Sheng was the one who brought the primal water crystal, and that it was robbed recently, Mo Wuji might have really believed this fella''s words. When this Grand Yi Immortal finished speaking, he stared at Mo Wuji worriedly. He seemed worried that Mo Wuji wouldn''t fulfil his side of the agreement. Mo Wuji waved his hand and another radiant blade shot forward. This Grand Yi Immortal clearly saw the blade coming, but he was completely unable to stop it. It seemed as though the surrounding space was within Mo Wuji''s control, and he could only stare as his other arm got sliced off. That wasn''t the end of it. Mo Wuji''s Scholar''s Heart began to creep towards this Grand Yi Immortal''s back. As he felt the terrifying flame breathing down on him, he seemed to smell death itself. "Immortal friend, you¡­"This Grand Yi Immortal was truly scared now. "I will give you another chance. If you dare to fabricate another story, don''t blame me for killing you. Let me give you a reminder, this primal water crystal was brought back by a mortal." Mo Wuji''s words were tinged with killing intent. When he heard Mo Wuji''s words, this Grand Yi Immortal''s face turned pale white. He finally understood why Mo Wuji was able to chase him. It turns out that Mo Wuji also knew about where this primal water crystal came from. "I''ll speak," This Grand Yi Immortal quivered, "this primal water crystal came from the Lake of Poison. My friend, Xi Zhen, and I received news that there was a peak water-type treasure in the Lake of Poison. During that time, we didn''t know that the treasure was the primal water crystal; so we joined hands to go to the Lake of Poison to search for the treasure." "What kind of place is the Lake of Poison? How is it dangerous?" Mo Wuji interrupted this Grand Yi Immortal''s words. To him, the origins of the primal water crystal was more important. This Grand Yi Immortal did not dare to hide anything. He replied carefully, "the Lake of Poison is not far from here. It''s north of Wind Plains Immortal City. The water in the Lake of Poison is extremely toxic. No antidote pill is enough to clear this poison." "Since there''s no antidote for the poison, why did you and that Xi Zhen dare to enter the Lake of Poison?" Mo Wuji snorted unkindly. This Grand Yi Immortal hurriedly explained, "I managed to obtain two antidote pills. I told Xi Zhen that we would each take turns to enter the Lake of Poison to search for two hours. We had exactly two pills for the two of us. Because I was the one who obtained the pills, he would go down first. In less than an hour, he returned with a primal water crystal. Back then, he was already heavily poisoned; his entire body had turned black and even his primordial spirit had started to corrode. He said that I lied to him and that the antidote pill didn''t work. Because of that, he suddenly attacked me. I was heavily injured and I fled to Mount Kongji to heal my injuries¡­" Mo Wuji sneered, "You probably already know that your antidote pill wouldn''t work for the Lake of Poison''s water, right? So you lied to Xi Zhen and got him to search for the primal water crystal for you. You''re truly an insidious man. Tell me, how did that primal water crystal end up in a mortal¡¯s hand, and eventually with Seaside Trade Union''s Rong Xu?" This Grand Yi Immortal seemed to know that he no longer had any hopes of living pass this day. He directly said, "I''m willing to speak. I only plead that you give me a chance to reincarnate." "Alright. If you speak, I will give you a chance to reincarnate," Mo Wuji replied. It seems like this Grand Yi Immortal knew that Mo Wuji was definitely going to kill him. "Because that mortal has pretty good spiritual roots, he was accepted by Xi Zhen as a disciple. Back then, he was also by the lake. After Xi Zhen heavily injured me, he passed that primal water crystal to his disciple. His disciple was a mortal; so even though he didn''t touch the toxic water, he was infected by the poisonous air. I estimated that he wouldn''t last much longer. I''m not too sure about how Seaside Trade Union''s union head found out about the primal water crystal, but because I left a spiritual will imprint on that primal water crystal, I was able to track it to Rong Xu." That Grand Yi Immortal spoke quickly, seemingly not hiding anything. "Who is Xi Zhen?" "He''s a person from Frosty Immortal Lake. I could somewhat be considered his friend," The Grand Yi Immortal replied swiftly. Frosty Immortal Lake? Mo Wuji found that name rather familiar. He soon recalled that a girl, Xi Li, was also from Frosty Immortal Lake. Back then, he had just entered the Immortal World through Lifeless Secret Domain. That was where he met Xi Li, and Xi Li even helped him. He never thought that he would hear Frosty Immortal Lake''s name again today. "It was Xi Zhen''s misfortune to have befriended someone like you." As Mo Wuji finished speaking, he sent his fist downwards. This Grand Yi Immortal''s body instantly shattered and his primordial spirit was destroyed. Only his soul was left behind. This was Mo Wuji''s promise of reincarnation. After doing all this, Mo Wuji directly swept up this Grand Yi Immortal''s storage ring and flying ship. His figure flashed and he disappeared. Feeling Mo Wuji disappear, that soul cursed hatefully; when he reforged his body, he was definitely going to kill Mo Wuji a thousand times over. "Kacha!" A light crisp sounded from within the soul. If he could still curse, this soul would definitely swear at Mo Wuji for being so evil and shameless. Instants later, all the remaining memories and willpower within the soul dissipated. Only a soul without a single memory left the area and flowed towards where souls went to reincarnate. Mo Wuji had already experienced all sorts of things. How could he simply allow a soul that had enmity with him retain its memories? If this Grand Yi Immortal really thought that Mo Wuji would do that, then Mo Wuji could only tell him that he was overthinking. Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t make the mistake of allowing this soul to retain its memories. ... When Mo Wuji was returning, he did not even travel for half an incense''s time when he felt violent vibrations in the air. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will swept outwards and he found six cultivators battling. He recognised three of them: they were the three that went to Seaside Trade Union not long ago. There was the young girl, the Grand Luo Immortal and the Immortal King. Supposedly, in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, this trio were already considered very powerful. But in reality, these three people were in the disadvantage. That black faced elder was being blocked by another Immortal King. Even though he wasn''t being suppressed, he couldn''t suppress the other either, much less help his companions out. That female Grand Luo Immortal also didn''t need any help. But she was also being tangled by her opponent. The one that needed help was that pretty, young girl. That pretty, young girl was going against a Grand Zhi Immortal. If not for her peak grade defensive treasure, she would probably have long been eliminated. However, she could only get trashed around. Clearly, she couldn''t last much further. Chapter 672: Lian Yingxians Secret Chapter 672: Lian Yingxian''s Secret Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t specially avoid the battle. He simply continued with his own journey. Seeing Mo Wuji pass by, all six of then turned to face Mo Wuji. When they discovered that Mo Wuji was merely a Grand Yi Immortal, most of them no longer paid attention to him. It was that Immortal King that called out, "He Jian, kill this passing ant¡­" When this Immortal King said those words, he immediately felt that something was amiss. Why would a Grand Yi Immortal have the guts to pass by? Before he could say anything else, that Grand Zhi Immortal already threw his magic treasure towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn''t even take notice of that Grand Zhi Immortal''s attack. He simply punched forward. This punch wasn''t meant for that Grand Zhi Immortal. Instead, it boomed towards the Grand Luo Immortal. Mo Wuji was used to battle. He naturally knew that the key to breaking the balance wasn''t by killing this Grand Zhi Immortal that was suppressing the young girl, but the Great Circle Grand Luo Immortal. "Boom!" The violent pressure of immortal elemental energy pressed downwards. The two Grand Luo Immortals could feel the sheer might behind Mo Wuji''s punch. One of the Grand Luo Immortals discovered in shock that he was the one within the fist¡¯s attack sphere. Mo Wuji was already an early stage Grand Luo Immortal. Even Immortal Kings would have to be careful towards his punch. This punch was still far from being able to deal with Immortal Emperors, but it was more than enough for a mere Grand Luo Immortal. "Bang!" This punch directly shattered the domain of the Grand Luo Immortal that was fighting the female Grand Luo Immortal. This Grand Luo Immortal was just thinking about escaping when he felt a terrifying spatial pressure. "Pff!" Blood splattered as the immortal elemental energy from the Domain Smashing Fist exploded, maiming this Grand Luo Immortal. That female Grand Luo Immortal hurriedly grabbed the opportunity to attack with her full power, enveloping that Grand Luo Immortal with her magic treasure. If not for Mo Wuji''s punch, that girl would only be an even match for that Grand Luo Immortal, at the very most. But now, Mo Wuji''s punch directly shattered that Grand Luo Immortal''s domain, and even heavily injured him. Now, with this girl''s full powered attack, no matter how impressive this Grand Luo Immortal was, he wouldn''t be able to escape death. The Grand Zhi Immortal''s attack only just reached Mo Wuji at this instant. Mo Wuji couldn''t even be bothered to kill this fella. His figure flashed and he vanished without a trace. By killing that Great Grand Luo Immortal, the balance of the battle had already been broken. He didn''t even need to stay here any longer. Indeed, just as Mo Wuji left, that girl killed that Grand Luo Immortal. And with a twist of her magic treasure, the Grand Zhi Immortal that tried to attack Mo Wuji was completely tied down. Against a Great Circle Grand Luo Immortal, a Grand Zhi Immortal completely had no means of resistance. In merely a breath of time, that Grand Zhi Immortal was killed by the girl. "This immortal friend, please wait. We have yet to thank you for your saving grace¡­" When the pretty young girl called out to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was already long gone. "Senior Sister Xiao Yu, who is that person? Why did he suddenly help us and leave without saying a word?" That young girl asked in confusion. That other girl said hurriedly, "Wait, let me first help Uncle Yu¡­" Just as that girl called Xiao Yu had finished speaking, that black faced elder transmitted, "There''s no need. That person has already escaped." When the Immortal King that was battling Uncle Yu saw the tides change, he did not hesitate to escape. "Little miss, let''s hurry back. It seems like someone has eyes on us," The elder walked over and said. The young girl frowned and said, "That person talked about some water crystal. We had never seen such a thing before. Where were we supposed to have gotten it from?" Xiao Yu also shook her head and spoke in a solemn tone, "We seem to have been caught up in a conspiracy. The best thing to do is to rush back to the manor. Uncle Yu, did you see that person that helped us? Is he in the Immortal King Stage?" She believed that Mo Wuji was definitely in the Immortal King Stage. After all, Mo Wuji was able to heavily injure a Great Circle Grand Luo Immortal in a single punch. The other party didn''t even have a chance to resist. If Mo Wuji wasn''t an Immortal King, then what was he? Uncle Yu shook his head, "I only know that someone offered help. As for his cultivation, I was too busy to take a look. There''s only one thing that we can confirm: his cultivation definitely isn''t as simple as a Grand Yi Immortal." ¡­ By the time Mo Wuji returned to Divergent Immortal Village, Yu Cheng, Yu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian had also just returned. When the three saw Mo Wuji, they were all very happy. This was especially the case for Yu Jingfeng. Even though his grandfather and his sister-in-law was not ultimately saved by his master, his master had followed him to save them. Moreover, his master even almost got imprisoned by the Seaside Trade Union because of him. How could he forget this goodwill? "Sister Yingxian, can I speak to you privately?" Mo Wuji smiled at Lian Yingxian and said. When Yu Cheng heard Mo Wuji''s words, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave. Yu Jingfeng also rushed off claiming that he needed to pack the nets. Mo Wuji knew what they were doing, but he didn''t mind. Lian Yingxian lowered her head and responded with a soft ''En¡¯. "Let''s go to my room and talk." Mo Wuji led the way to the house. Seeing Mo Wuji walk into the house, a hint of conflict flashed across Lian Yingxian''s eyes. However, she still followed Mo Wuji in. To her, Mo Wuji was a venerable immortal. Offending an immortal would result in the extinguishment of her entire family; that was worse than defying Heaven''s will. Mo Wuji waited for Lian Yingxian to enter the house. Thereafter, he casually formed a few seals, then he stared at Lian Yingxian. His spiritual will was also observing Lian Yingxian''s spiritual roots. He really wanted to know whether Lian Yingxian was a subsidiary body of an expert, or whether there was some other reason. Feeling Mo Wuji''s gaze, Lian Yingxian''s face turned deep red. However, she found that Mo Wuji didn''t say anything after some time. She could only take the initiative to say, "Brother Da Huang, as long as you don''t do anything to Grandpa and Jingfeng, I''m willing." Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Sister Yingxian, I don''t have such intentions. Come pass your hand to me." This time, Mo Wuji directly grabbed Lian Yingxian''s wrist and sent his spiritual will in. Instants later, Mo Wuji also sent his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will to enter her. After some time, Mo Wuji finally identified the source of Lian Yingxian''s cultivation. Within her mind palace, there hid a crystal point which was even smaller than a tenth of a sesame seed. The crystal point contained vast and boundless cultivation energy. The reason why his spiritual could see it was because his spiritual eye could see through the falsity. It was able to detect the power hidden within Lian Yingxian. The reason why his spiritual will wasn''t able to detect it was because this terrifying power was being shrouded by a layer of some indistinct thing. Mo Wuji retracted his hand. He didn''t dare to confirm what that crystal point was. It wasn''t a primordial spirit, and it seemed to belong to Lian Yingxian. He also didn''t dare to touch it. With his cultivation, he would likely ignite that terrifying energy, turning Lian Yingxian into dust. Seeing Mo Wuji retract his hand and frown, Lian Yingxian began to feel uneasy. She didn''t know what was this immortal thinking; did he want her or not? After a whole half an incense of time, Mo Wuji finally asked, "Sister Yingxian, can you tell me about your past?" When Lian Yingxian heard Mo Wuji''s words, she hurriedly suppressed her panic and said, "Lord Immortal Master, I have never performed any skinship with Yu Jingshan even after we got married. He wholeheartedly wanted to become an immortal and he was worried that losing his virginity would affect his cultivation foundations¡­" Mo Wuji said, "I''m not talking about that. I''m asking about your childhood. We can talk about your parents, and did you receive any sort of external shock while your mother was expecting you?" When she heard Mo Wuji ask about her parents, Lian Yingxian knew that she might have misunderstood this immortal master. After interacting with Mo Wuji for some time, she felt that Mo Wuji was different from other immortal masters. For instance, he was especially calm every time he spoke. She gradually let go of her fears and her voice became calm, "After my mother gave birth to me, she suffered a severe blood deficiency. My father constantly went out to Extreme Glade Sea to search for various items to nourish my mother''s body. However, one day, my father didn''t return." As she got to this point, Lian Yingxian''s eyes were already red and swollen. She rubbed her eyes and continued, "After my father left, my mother wasn''t able to push any longer, and she followed my father. I was only seven years old then. The reason why I survived was because Grandpa raised me." Mo Wuji nodded, he was sure that Lian Yingxian¡¯s cultivation was related to her birth. Lian Yingxian might even be the transmigrant of some powerful expert, and this powerful expert had concealed his cultivation and memories in that crystal point. On the surface, Mo Wuji''s spiritual eye saw Lian Yingxian''s Grand Luo Immortal cultivation. However, he knew that it was possible that her cultivation was vastly above that. This matter sounded hitherto unheard of, and before this, Mo Wuji would never have considered such a possibility. However, there were many more people stronger than him in this universe. What he thought was unimaginable might not be impossible for others. "Yingxian, there''s no need for you to think too much. I had merely examined your body, especially your spirit channels and your bloodline. Your body is rather peculiar, and I an unable to determine anything now. At the same time, I feel that you might have spiritual roots. If you are willing, I can accept you as my disciple¡­" Mo Wuji said and looked at Lian Yingxian expectantly. He had a feeling that Lian Yingxian had exceptional spiritual roots. It was just that it had been sealed by that crystal point in her Mind Palace. If Lian Yingxian gradually releases her spiritual roots, her cultivation speed might be higher than anyone else in the Immortal World. Moreover, researching on Lian Yingxian''s cultivation legacy would be an important part in his pursuit of the Grand Dao. "Ah¡­" Lian Yingxian stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief, her mouth was slightly agape. Mo Wuji was also feeling awkward. He could only continue speaking, "Yingxian, it¡¯s fine if you aren''t willing to be my disciple. You can treat me as your senior brother, friend, or even a senior¡­" If Lian Yingxian wasn''t even willing to become his friend, then he could only forget about it. "I''m willing, I''m willing¡­" Lian Yingxian''s voice was quivering slightly, it even sounded like she was about to cry. Seeing the way Lian Yingxian looked at him, Mo Wuji could tell the agitation and emotions deep in her heart. He hurriedly said, "Since you''re willing, then we''re family now. There''s no need for you to hold yourself back, and¡­" Chapter 673: Complicated Relationships Chapter 673: Complicated Relationships Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Master¡­" Before Mo Wuji managed to explain that Jingfeng was also his disciple, Lian Yingxian suddenly rushed forward and hugged him; her face was streaming with tears. A soft feeling assaulted him. Mo Wuji instantly understood Lian Yingxian''s emotions, and he didn''t have the slightest impure thought. Lian Yingxian looked very resolute, and she had always been silent and disciplined when she did things. But in reality, she was lacking familial love. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her no choice but to mature. Yu Cheng didn''t provide her with that love, but merely the essentials to survive. Mo Wuji''s guess was right; Lian Yingxian was indeed inundated with emotion. She had never known what was pampering, nor what was support. When she was seven, she worked hard to be mature. At least in the eyes of others, she was an independent and hardworking woman. Besides his relationship with her parents, Grandpa had provided for her largely because he wanted to wed her to Jingshan. This caused her to develop this resilient attitude. However, her resilience did not signify insensitivity. She could feel the sincerity and lack of ulterior motives when Mo Wuji said he wanted to accept her as his disciple. When she had been caught and thrown in prison to be humiliated and bullied, she felt herself becoming increasingly insignificant. She yearned for some form of support. The moment Mo Wuji said those words, she could feel that Mo Wuji wasn''t lying to her. Thus, she could not help but release her years of pent up emotions and hardship. "Kacha!" The seals over the room were suddenly torn apart. A slightly ugly youth stood at the door. By this ugly youth''s side, there was a relatively tall man. This relatively tall man''s arm just lowered to his side. Clearly, he was the one that forcefully opened the seals. The moment the seals were touched, Mo Wuji immediately turned to face the door. The first thing he saw were these two people. The reason why he formed the simplest seal, and why he didn''t spread his spiritual will outwards, was because be didn''t think that anyone in Divergent Immortal Village would be strong enough for him to need to do so. The two people standing at the door were cultivators. The slightly ugly youth''s cultivation was very low; it was merely in the Nihility God Stage. On the other hand, the relatively tall man was an early stage Golden Immortal. In Mo Wuji''s eyes, he was also an ant-like existence. "Yu Jingshan?" Lian Yingxian jumped out of Mo Wuji''s embrace like a frightened chick. She stared at the ugly and enraged youth by the door in astonishment, and she subconsciously cowered behind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji finally understood. So it turns out that Yu Jingfeng''s brother hadn''t died, but had actually gotten himself into a sect and had even cultivated to the Nihility God Stage. In just a short ten years, Yi Jingshan went from an innocuous fisherman to a Nihility God. Even though this was the Immortal World and he was cultivating with immortal spiritual energy, it could be seen that Yu Jingshan¡¯s spiritual roots and temperament were startlingly high. "Lian Yingxian, you slut. To think that I came back just to bring you to my sect. Go and die¡­" Yu Jingshan shouted angrily as he prepared to make a move. "Stop." Yu Cheng rushed over and stepped in front of Yu Jingshan. "Grandpa, you''re helping this outsider? My woman is having intimate affairs with another man, but you''re helping that man?" Veins could be seen popping out from Yu Jingshan''s forehead. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. If not for the fact that Yu Jingfeng saved him, he would have directly left with Lian Yingxian. No matter how talented Yu Jingshan was, he could not compare with Lian Yingxian. Moreover, it was very possible that Lian Yingxian was the reincarnation of some expert, and her memories were even concealed within her. If Yu Jingshan were to ruin her innocence, then something unforeseen might happen. Mo Wuji''s head ached slightly. He was already prepared to accept Yu Jingfeng as his disciple. The moment Yu Jingfeng becomes his disciple, then he would be Mo Wuji¡¯s direct disciple. Today''s misunderstanding might cause Yu Jingfeng to develop hatred towards him. On behalf of Yu Cheng and Yu Jingfeng, he definitely mustn''t kill this Yu Jingshan. Not killing Yu Jingshan didn''t mean that he was still going to accept Yu Jingfeng as his disciple. It would be going against his principles to accept the brother of an enemy as his disciple. He didn''t believe that these brothers would truly grow to become unrelated to one another. If he didn''t consider this fact, then he would only be causing trouble for himself in the future. That Golden Immortal by the side said blandly, "Why is there a need for so much nonsense, Junior Brother, just kill them. You can sleep around with slutty women like her, but you definitely can''t take it too seriously. You can kill that man, have a good time with that girl, then kill her afterwards. There''s no need to worry about anything. If there''s any problems, I will take it for you." Yu Jingshan understood the meaning behind his companion¡¯s words. He was saying that even if Mo Wuji was a cultivator, he would help out. A Golden Immortal was actually giving a Nihility God advice. Very clearly, Yu Jingshan had an esteemed position within his sect. "Brother, you aren''t really going to kill sister-in-law, right? The people in the village said that you met with a mishap outside. That was why Grandpa and I decided to allow Brother Da Huang to marry sister-in-law¡­" When Yu Jingfeng heard those words, his heart raced with anxiety. He hurriedly joined his Grandpa Yu Cheng to stand in front of Yu Jingshan. His brother had flown over. When his brother descended from the sky, his heart was incomparably shocked. Previously, Mo Wuji had teleported with him. However, he didn''t know that teleportation was infinitely harder than flight. He believed that flying looked much more impressive, and it represented greater strength. In his eyes, as long as he cultivated, teleportation was simply a beginner skill. "Little b*stard, f*ck off to the side. If not because of Grandpa, I would have crushed you with a single step," Yu Jingshan scolded angrily. "Shut your mouth," Yu Cheng pointed at Yu Jingshan with a slightly pale face, "do you still have your parents and I in your eyes? You actually dared to say such unfilial words?" "Grandpa, am I wrong? He IS a b*stard." Yu Jingshan snorted coldly, but he didn''t make a move. It should be on the account of Yu Cheng. Yu Cheng, "Jingshan, I know that you''ve become a cultivator, and I really admire that. An immortal master finally came from my Yu Family. But Jingfeng''s words were not wrong, you shouldn''t have scolded him." "Grandpa?" Yu Jingfeng stared at Yu Cheng in confusion. He didn''t understand why his own brother would call him a little b*stard. Yu Cheng sighed, "I had hoped that such a day would never come when I have to explain the truth. But since things have already gone this far, I have to explain things clearly. Jingshan, I hope that you don''t blame Yingxian. This has nothing to do with her." The time that Yu Jingshan became an immortal master wasn''t very long. He clearly didn''t develop the habit of treating mortals like ants yet. When he heard Yu Cheng words, he gradually calmed down. "Back then, your father''s life was saved by Yingxian''s parents. Even though they weren''t able to save your mother, Yingxian''s mother had also become severely affected because of that event. It was because of this, that she had been lying in bed ever since Yingxian was born. If you lay your hands on Yingxian now, then you would be an ingrate. Didn''t I often teach you? A man needed to be resolute and principled. Otherwise, what''s the meaning of any form of success? Moreover, I have also agreed to Yingxian''s matter¡­" Hearing Yu Cheng¡¯s words, Mo Wuji secretly nodded. Yu Cheng was of high moral character; Yu Jingfeng should have inherited these values from Yu Cheng. The reason why Yu Jingshan was able to withstand his companion¡¯s instigations should also be because of Yu Cheng¡¯s past teachings. "Grandpa, my mother¡­" Yu Jingfeng immediately noticed an anomaly in that story. If Yu Jingshan¡¯s mother had died a long time ago, then where did he come from? Yu Cheng stroked Yu Jingfeng¡¯s head and sighed, "Jingfeng, if it was possible, Grandpa really wanted to continue living with you peacefully here in Divergent Immortal Village. But the recent matters have shown Grangpa that the trees long for peace but the winds never cease. You won¡¯t attain peace just because you ask for it. Sometimes, you have to take a look at the weather¡­" Ai, it¡¯s time I told you this. When Jingshan¡¯s mother died, Jingshan¡¯s father had been cheerless and listless. Eventually, your mother came to Divergent Immortal Village. She was already expecting you then. Jingshan¡¯s father saved her, and after she delivered you, she continued living here with Jingshan¡¯s father¡­" When he finished saying that, Yu Cheng turned towards Yu Jingshan and said, "Jingshan, you are indeed my only biological grandson. You should know that I am no longer able to go out to sea. Those years ago, after you left, Yingxian singlehandedly supported all of us. Jingfeng also started to go out to sea when he was just 11 years old. If not for Yingxian and Jingfeng, I would already have turned to bones. Moreover, Yingxian and you never went through any formal marriage rites. When news of your mishap spread through our village, shouldn¡¯t I have helped Yingxian find a dependable person to support us? Jingshan, since you have become an immortal master, your future is bound to be bright. A woman is not allowed to have a second husband. Since I have already made the decision to wed Yingxian to Da Huang, I will also make the decision to end your relationship with her." Yu Jingshan was indeed a filial grandson. When he heard his grandfather¡¯s words, he lowered his head. Actually, cultvation was the most important thing in his heart. Everything else was secondary. This time, he came back to bring his Grandpa and Yingxian away. As for Yu Jingfeng, he never had any intentions of bringing him away. The reason why he wanted to bring Lian Yingxian away was because he never found another girl that was prettier than Lian Yingxian back in his sect. Even if Lian Yingxian didn¡¯t have any spiritual roots, he was already rather satisfied with her. Moreover, he could still find another dao companion in the future. When Yu Jingfeng heard this story, he was shocked still. He never thought that he actually wasn¡¯t from the Yu Family, and he didn¡¯t even know who was his father. Mo Wuji was also speechless. An ordinary family was actually so complicated. But this was also for the better. Otherwise, he would really have to consider not accepting Yu Jingfeng as his disciple. The reason why he wanted to take Yu Jingfeng in wasn¡¯t due to Yu Jingfeng¡¯s talent, but his character. Moreover, his desired disciple was a mortal. It might be heard to find immortals with exceptional talent, but ordinary mortals were everywehre. Even if he didn¡¯t accept Yu Jingfeng as his disciple, he could still use other means to repay Jingfeng¡¯s saving grace. "Grandpa, are all your words true?" After some time, Yu Jingfeng finally stammered and asked this question. Yu Cheng nodded, "Sorry Jingfeng. Everything I said was true. And I am not your grandfather." "No, you will always be my grandfather," Yu Jingfeng said immediately. In his heart, Yu Cheng was his grandfather. If not for Yu Cheng, he wouldn¡¯t have lived till this day. Yu Jingshan was frowning. He really wanted to kill Mo Wuji. As for Yu Jingfeng, it didn¡¯t matter if he was killed. As for Lian Yingxian, he definitely had to take her away. Chapter 674: Sect’s First Disciples Chapter 674: Sect¡¯s First Disciples Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Right at this instant, that Golden Immortal suddenly transmitted a message to him, "Jingshan, why don¡¯t we bring your grandpa and leave first. Later, I will secretly come back and get rid of this ant Da Huang. As for you b*stard brother, I can easily slaughter him too." A mere early stage Golden Immortal actually dared to transmit a message in front of an expert like Mo Wuji. He simply wouldn¡¯t know what death is until death is placed in front of him. If not for the fact that Yu Cheng would be losing his support, Mo Wuji would have already killed these two fellas. "Grandpa, I came here to bring you away with me. Let¡¯s leave this place first then. Rest assured, I am a core disciple of a big sect. No matter what you want, I will be able to get it for you. Yingxian, I can forget about what just happened. Follow me back to the sect and I will make sure that you will not suffer any unjust. And Jingfeng, I was too rash with my words. Don¡¯t take them to heart. It doesn¡¯t matter where we came from, we all share the same "Yu" surname." When Yu Jingshan heard his companion¡¯s message, he immediately made his decision. At the start, Yu Jingfeng didn¡¯t really care about Yu Jingshan¡¯s words. He never really interacted much with this brother of his. When he first started to walk, Yu Jingshan had already left Divergent Immortal Village. But when Yu Jingshan called him a b*stard, but then said that they both shared the same ¡®Yu¡¯ surname, he could not help but take it to heart. Yu Jingfeng walked in front of Yu Cheng and kneeled, "Grandpa, if not for you, Jingfeng would already be dead. Jingfeng is genuinely happy that Grandpa now has someplace to live safely. I won¡¯t be following Grandpa. I want to follow Brother Da Huang. Grandson is unfilial. I no longer have the face to bear the ¡®Yu¡¯ surname. Grandpa, please tell me what was my mother¡¯s surname." Yu Cheng gave a long sigh. If he could choose, he would rather continue staying in Divergent Immortal Village with Yu Jingshan than to live blissfully in that immortal sect. But he was also very clear that if he didn¡¯t follow his biological grandson and chose to stay with Yu Jingfeng, then his grandson would lose all his face. That might even harm Jingfeng and Yingxian. He extended his hand and stroked Yu Jingfeng¡¯s hair. He said with a trembling voice, "Your mother¡¯s name is called Yu Lan. Your name Jingfeng was also given to you by your mother. In the future, you will be called Fu Jingfeng. Let Grandpa make this decision for you." "Yes Grandpa, grandson will be called Fu Jingfeng from now on." After Yu Jingfeng changed his name to Fu Jingfeng, he kowtowed multiple times before he finally stood up. From this moment on, Yu Jingshan no longer had the rights to call him a b*stard. Fu Jingfeng wouldn¡¯t be following him back back to the sect; so Yu Jingshan didn¡¯t really care. He only hoped that his grandfather and Lian Yingxian would leave with him. Seeing Yu Jingshan¡¯s gaze on her, Lian Yingxian walked in front of Yu Cheng and bowed, "Grandpa, from now on, Yingxian would also follow Brother Da Huang. Grandpa, take care." Hearing Fu Jingshan call her master ¡®Brother Da Huang¡¯, Lian Yingxian swallowed the word ¡®Master¡¯, and called Mo Wuji by Brother Da Huang as well. "Yingxian, you¡¯re not following me back to the sect? By following this rogue cultivator, you will eventually die without a proper grave." When he heard that Lian Yingxian wasn¡¯t going to follow him, Yu Jingshan¡¯s heart started to pound and he questioned her severely. Lian Yingxian pursed her lips and kept silent. If this was before Mo Wuji appeared, and even if Yu Jingshan didn¡¯t call her a slut, she also wouldn¡¯t have left with Yu Jingshan. She had already repaid the goodwill that Grandpa Yu Cheng had showed to her. After Yu Jingshan¡¯s parents died and after Yu Jingshan left the village, she was the one that took up the role of a man to go out to sea to support Yu Cheng and Fu Jingfeng. She had suffered many difficulties and hardships but she didn¡¯t talk about them, nor did she intend to talk about them. It was only until Fu Jingfeng was able to go out to sea that she returned back to Light Glade Village. Even so, she would often bring gifts for Grandpa Yu Cheng and Jingfeng. Back when she agreed to marry into the Yu Family, it wasn¡¯t because she had fell in love with Yu Jingshan, but it was purely because she wanted to repay Grandpa Yu Cheng. Now, she had already repaid this favour, and she already knew the truth that Yu Jingshan¡¯s parents were the ones that owed her parents, why would she still choose to follow Yu Jingshan? "Jingshan, since Yingxian isn¡¯t willing, then leave her be. Immortal Master Da Huang, I treat Yingxian and Jingfeng like my very own grandchildren. In the future, I will have to trouble you to take care of them." Yu Cheng walked in front of Mo Wuji and bowed. "Grandpa, I am already a core disciple of a big sect. There¡¯s no need for you to do such things." When Yu Jingshan heard that Lian Yingxian wasn¡¯t going to follow him, his heart already started to brew with anger. Now, his grandfather even bowed to a mere rogue cultivator. He really couldn¡¯t wait to murder this Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about Yu Jingshan. He only said to Yu Cheng, "Rest assured. Even though it might be slightly dangerous for Jingfeng and Yingxian to follow me, they definitely wouldn¡¯t suffer." Even though he didn¡¯t like the way his grandson spoke, Yu Cheng knew that he couldn¡¯t casually reprimand his grandson since he had already become an immortal master. He could only say, "Since that¡¯s the case, Jingshan, let¡¯s go." That Golden Immortal stared at Mo Wuji in disdain. Then he waved his hand, "Let¡¯s return back to the sect." A soft cloud zoomed appeared in front of them. Yu Cheng and Yu Jingshan stepped on that cloud, and in an instant, they shot into the sky and disappeared. When she noticed Fu Jingfeng¡¯s looks of envy, Lian Yingxian suddenly said, "Jingfeng, stop looking. There¡¯s nothing much to be envious about. Everyone has their own way of living." Fu Jingfeng hurriedly said, "Of course. Master is much more capable¡­" Seemingly noticing that he had uttered the wrong words, Fu Jingfeng awkwardly scratched his head. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "In the future, Yingxian will also be my disciple. Even though Jingfeng entered the sect earlier by a few days, Yingxian is slightly older; so Jingfeng will call Yingxian by senior sister." "Ah¡­" Fu Jingfeng stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Then he turned to look at Lian Yingxian. After some time, he finally said, "Master, aren¡¯t you going to marry Sister Yingxian?" In his perspective, if master accepted Sister Yingxian as a disciple, then his master wouldn¡¯t be able to marry Sister Yingxian. Lian Yingxian also suddenly thought about this matter. She stared at Mo Wuji in shock. If Mo Wuji wanted to marry her, then would she still be his disciple? Mo Wuji patted Fu Jingfeng¡¯s head, "What are you thinking of. I already have a wife. In the future, Yingxian will be your senior sister. Let me tell you, if you don¡¯t work hard to cultivate, your senior sister will overtake you." "Master, rest assured. I will definitely cultivate hard. I definitely wouldn¡¯t lose out to senior sister by much," Fu Jingfeng patted his chest and proclaimed. When Lian Yingxian heard that Da Huang wasn¡¯t going to amrry her, an indescribable emotion flashed across her eyes. It was unknown whether it was joy or disappointment. However, she soon cheered up. When she thought that Da Huang was going to be treating her like family, her spirit immediately uplifted. Mo Wuji knew very clearly that no matter how hard Fu Jingfeng worked, or how talented he was, as long as he was able to help Lian Yingxian release her cultivation, then it would be very hard for Fu Jingfeng to catch up to Lian Yingxian. Lian Yingxian originally wanted to ask Mo Wuji about how Jingfeng was going to cultivate without spiritual roots. However, when these words got to her mouth, she chose to swallow it down. Since her master was an immortal, he should have his ways. Little did she know that even Immortal Emperors didn¡¯t know how to allow a person to cultivate without spiritual roots. "Master, are we going to stay here and cultivate?" Now that his grandfather had left, cultivation was the most important thing to Fu Jingfeng. Once again, Mo Wuji formed a few seals around the room. This time, not only did he form a sound inhibiting seal, he even formed a defensive seal. With this seal, even a Grand Yi Immortal wouldn¡¯t be able to break it, much less a Golden Immortal ant. After forming these seals, Mo Wuji gestured for Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian to sit down. Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng also noticed that their master¡¯s attitude had suddenly turned serious. They hurriedly sat down and listened to Mo Wuji closely. Mo Wuji said solemnly, "Yingxian, Jingfeng, now that you¡¯ve become my disciples, I need to tell you about my predicament. Whether you choose to follow me after this is up to you." "Master, no matter what, I will follow you." Before Mo Wuji even managed to explain his situation, Fu Jingfeng proclaimed loudly. Lian Yingxian also hurriedly said, "I will also follow master." Mo Wuji waved his hand, indicating for them to quiet down. "My real name is Mo Wuji. It hasn¡¯t been long since I first ascended into the Immortal World. Including the time I spent in the cultivation world, the time I spent cultivating would only add up to a few decades. So, that means that I¡¯m not much older than the two of you¡­" When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Lian Yingxian¡¯s and Fu Jingfeng¡¯s mouth went agape. They stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief. Even though Divergent Immortal Village was a mortal village, they weren¡¯t unfamiliar about immortals. After all, they could go to Extreme Glade City and be exposed to all sorts of books about immortals. They might even be able to meet immortals in Extreme Glade City. For an immortal to have a certain level of power, he would require thousands or tens of thousands of years. The two were clearly shocked when Mo Wuji said that he was not much older than them. Immediately, Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng understood that their master¡¯s cultivation might be very, very. However, the two of them didn¡¯t mind. The level of Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation wouldn¡¯t affect the way they felt about Mo Wuji. "Then master, is your cultivation¡­" Fu Jingfeng had a pure and unblemished heart. The moment he thought of it, he immediately uttered it. Even Lian Yingxian wasn¡¯t able to stop him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hide anything. He nodded and said, "Yes, my cultivation is indeed very low. Previously, I was heavily injured because of my low cultivation. I had to depend on my friend to escape to Extreme Glade Sea where Jingfeng saved me. That friend of mine died while saving me." In Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, Da Huang was his friend. As for Da Huang¡¯s death, Mo Wuji had always been keeping in close to his heart. Sighing, Mo Wuji said, "My dao is the Mortal Dao, because I was originally a mortal. So if you cultivate under me, you must not reveal our Mortal Dao. Under normal circumstances, try not to casually get into conflicts unless people really try to climb on top of your heads." "Yes." Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng responded harmoniously. Mo Wuji continued speaking, "I was the one that created my own dao. I could be considered a progenitor; so I don¡¯t have a master, and you guys don¡¯t have other references." "Then master, are Senior Sister Yingxian and I the first generation of disciples?" Fu Jingfeng asked elatedly. Like Lian Yingxian, he didn¡¯t have any concept about the difficulty in creating and forging one¡¯s own dao. Chapter 675: I’m Really Worried That I Would Regret This Chapter 675: I¡¯m Really Worried That I Would Regret This Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "In theory, the two of you are indeed the first generation disciples of my Ping Fan Sect. However, in the cultivation world, I did accept several disciples. They are Pan Wu, Pan Jie and Lou Yueshuang. If they have the chance to ascend to the Immortal World, they will require your care." The Pan siblings¡¯ talents were not bad. The same could be said for Lou Yueshuang. However, Mo Wuji was clear that no matter how amazing their talents were, they couldn¡¯t compare to Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng. Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng by his side and could receive his pointers. Naturally, their speeds would be remarkable. Morever, this was the Immortal World. There was no need to compare talents; the spiritual energy in the cultivation world could never be compared to the immortal spiritual energy of the Immortal World. Moreover, Hai Yi Continent couldn¡¯t really be considered a good cultivation world. "Yes master," Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng responded. "One final thing, because I have many powerful enemies, don¡¯t reveal that I am your master. At the very least, don¡¯t do so until I establish the sect," Mo Wuji instructed. Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian were fishermen by birth. Naturally, they wouldn¡¯t be arrogant because they could cuiltivate. Thus, these instructions by Mo Wuji were already natural to them. "Master, then what should we do now?" Fu Jingfeng asked. Mo Wuji contemplated briefly before he said, "We will temporarily leave Divergent Immortal Village and head to Extreme Glade Sea." Lian Yingxian asked doubtfully, "How are we going to cultivate in the Extreme Glade Sea?" Mo Wuji explained, "Even though that Yu Jingshan is considered rather filial, he will definitely return with that senior of his to kill Jingfeng and I after they helped to settle Uncle Yu Cheng down. I am not willing to have a conflict with him so we will temporarily head to Extreme Flade Sea. After the two of you have a certain foundation, we will return." "Then what if he comes again?" Lian Yingxian asked worriedly. "There¡¯s no need to worry, they will not come again." Mo Wuji smiled and said. The reason why he said that wasn¡¯t because he was sure that Yu Jingshan wouldn¡¯t make another trip. It was because if they did come again, they can¡¯t blame him for killing them. He wouldn¡¯t kill Yu Jingshan. After all, killing Yu Jingshan was equivalent to killing Yu Cheng. However, he would kill that companion of Yu Jingshan. Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng didn¡¯t think too much on Mop Wuji¡¯s words. Compared to the complex relationship between cultivators, they were considered relatively pure. "Let¡¯s go. We will head to Extreme Glade Sea now." Mo Wuji stood up. Four hours later, it was exactly as Mo Wuji predicted. That Golden Immortal that came with Yi Jingshan secretly came back to Divergent Immortal Village. However, Mo Wuji and co. had already went to the Extreme Glade Sea and this Golden Immortal was only greeted by an empty house. ¡­ The moment they entered the Extreme Glade Sea, Mo Wuji kept his fishing boat. He whipped up a cloud of immortal elemental energy which he used to carry Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng towards that sea domain with that immortal spiritual vein. Yu Jingfeng¡¯s heart was racing excitedly. His master could actually fly. When he cultivated and became an immortal, he was also going to fly across the seas to catch fish. It did not occur to him that he wouldn¡¯t need to catch fish after he became an immortal. Mo Wuji sped up. In half an incense¡¯s time, he brought Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian to the bottom of the sea where the spiritual vein was. "Heavens, what place is this, why are they so many white crystals? Standing here makes me feel comfortable all over." Fu Jingfeng stared in against at the immortal essence crystals and the immortal spiritual vein. His voice was slightly emotional. Lian Yingxian was much more experienced than Fu Jingfeng; she had seen immortal crystals before. But as she stood here, her mouth also went wide. After some time, she asked in disbelief, "Master, could these be immortal crystals and the legendary immortal spiritual vein?" Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right. But these aren¡¯t immortal crystals. They are the purer immortal essence crystals. It was because of what Jingfeng told me taht I was able to find this place. In the future, I will build a sect here. Before the sect is established, we will need to cultivate here. Moreover, I am a pill refiner. It could be said that when it comes to cultivation resources, core disciples of huge sects, elders and even sects heads can¡¯t compare to the two of you. Thus, your future success only depends on the two of you." The two didn¡¯t have any concept of what a pill refiner was. But when they heard that they would have better cultivation resources than sect heads, the two of them became filled with confidence. "Master, how are we going to start cultivating?" Fu Jingfeng asked impatiently. Mo Wuji grabbed ten array flags and started to install arrays. In merely two hours time, MO Wuji stopped. Then, he said to Lian Yingxian, "Yingxian, wait for me outside. I will first teach Jingfeng how to open meridians." With that, he grabbed Fu Jingfeng and entered the array. Thereafter, he pointed to the area filled with dancing lightning and said, "This is the meridian opening lightning pond that I created. This lightning pond has three different levels from high to low. After you open your first 36 meridians in the low level lightning pond, you can enter the intermediate level lightning pond. After you open your 72th meridian, you can enter the high level lightning pond. Remember, the power of the lightning gets increasingly powerful as you move from the edge to the center of the lightning pond. Be careful not to lose your life." After explaining this, Mo Wuji raised his hand and patted Fu Jingfeng¡¯s head. Then, he transfered his meridian opening experience, his cultivation technique and some simple cultivation knowledge into Fu Jingfeng¡¯s mind through his spiritual will. When Mo Wuji finally released his hand, Fu Jingfeng was filled with shock. He never thought that his master was constantly dancing on the line between life and death when he first started cultivating. He never knew that the first step in the Mortal Dao was so hard. Mo Wuji waited for his transferred knowledge to slowly assimilate into Fu Jingfeng¡¯s mind. Then, he said, "This was what I did those years ago. Whether you are able to open your meridians, and how many meridians you are able to open all depends on you. I am unable to help you. Of course, if you find a better method, feel free to experiment it." It wasn¡¯t that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to help Fu Jingfeng open his meridians. But doing so would lose the core intentions of accepting Fu Jingfeng as his disciple. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, he had already provided Fu Jingfeng with all the conditions required. If Fu Jingfeng wasn¡¯t able to open his meridians, that would mean that Fu Jingfeng wasn¡¯t suitable for the Mortal Dao. Forcefully opening meridians for Fu Jingfeng wouldn¡¯t have any meaning. It would only allow Fu Jingfeng to become a low grade cultivator that had to continuously fight for cultivation resources. He would rather have Fu Jingfeng live peacefully as a mortal. "Master, rest assured. I will definitely do it." Fu Jingfeng had started to go out to sea to catch fish ever since he was 11. He wasn¡¯t a fool; he understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words. "Good." Mo Wuji then took out ten over jade vases and placed them on a table next to the lightning ponds, "These jade vases contain my meridian opening solution. After you open your first meridian opens, the first few levels of my Immortal Mortal Technique will appear in your memories. When your willpower becomes strong enough to open this ring, you will find that there are some cultivation pills. The uses of these pills will appear in your memories when you open your 4th meridian. During your cultivation, if you don¡¯t need to use pills, try not to use them." Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to inscribe his cultivation method and technique into Fu Jingfeng¡¯s memoeries. The moment Fu Jingfeng reached Channel Opening Level 7, he wouldn¡¯t have any memories from Mo Wuji. Instead, Mo Wuji will get Fu Jingfeng to browse through some books. Fu Jingfeng knelt on the floor, "Master, I will definitely do it." Mo Wuji nodded, then he retrieved ten over Fasting Pills and placed them on the table, "When you are hungry, you can eat one of these pills. Exactly how far you can go is entirely up to you." After passing everything down, Mo Wuji stepped out of the lightning array. He had never accepted any mortal disciples; Fu Jingfeng was the second one, besides him, to open meridians. As for whether or not Fu Jingfeng would succeed, even he didn¡¯t know. "Master, Jingfeng has started cultivating?" The moment Mo Wuji emerged, Lian Yingxian asked hurriedly. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Jingfeng doesn¡¯t have spiritual roots; so he can¡¯t cultivate yet. He would have to open his meridians first. Whether or not he could cultivate is entire dependent on him. Your condition, however, is much more complicated than Jingfeng. Let¡¯s go to the side and I will explain your condition in greater detail." ¡­ A few thousand meters away from Fu Jingfeng¡¯s cultivation spot, Mo Wuji installed another defensive array and brought Lian Yingxian in. Mo Wuji retrieved a huge futon and indicated for Lian Yingxian to sit. After Lian Yingxian sat, Mo Wuji finally said, "Yingxian, before I officially accept you as my disciple, I have to tell you something." "Master, please speak." At this instant, Lian Yingxian didn¡¯t have any barriers with Mo Wuji. She frequently went to Extreme Glade City. Even if her master didn¡¯t teach her how to cultivate, how could she not know the intentions behind her master bringing her here? This was a cultivation holyland; it was filled with immortal crystals and immortal spiritual veins. Other immortals couldn¡¯t wait to hide this place for themselves. Who would behave like her master, to openly bring her and Jingfeng here? When her master brought her here, she knew that she was right. Her master had truly treated Jingfeng and her as his own family. Mo Wuji organised his thoughts, then he said slowly, "Yingxian, I have been suspecting that you are the reincarnation of an ancient expert. Within your Mind Palace, there hides an extremely powerful cultivation." "Ah¡­" Lian Yingxian stared at Mo Wuji, "Master, I¡­" Mo Wuji gestured Lian Yingxian to keep silent, then he continued, "You may not have a concept of this now. There¡¯s no need for you to worry. On the other hand, I am worried that you are truly the reincarnation of an ancient power and that you might regret it if you accept me as your disciple. So, I am mentioning it upfront. Of course, even if you don¡¯t take me as your master, I will still teach you how to cultivate." Lian Yingxian took a long time to regain her composure. Her eyes turned bright and her lips suddenly curved into a smile, "Master, I¡¯m really worried that I might regret it¡­" Mo Wuji was stunned. Even though he said that, he was sure that Lian Yingxian wouldn¡¯t regret. He only said that as a form of precaution; he wanted to make sure that Lian Yingxian wouldn¡¯t come to hate him when she regained her memories. What left he unexpected was that Lian Yingxian really said that she would regret. He was temporarily unable to find the right words to say. Chapter 676: The Woman Seeking To Cooperate Chapter 676: The Woman Seeking To Cooperate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Master, if you are going to establish a sect, then would you be the sect head?" Lian Yingxian suddenly asked. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right. If I establish a sect, then I would indeed be the sect head." In reality, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t merely going to establish a sect. He was going to build Ping Fan, a domain that exceeded a sect. However, he didn¡¯t need to explain such things to Lian Yingxian. "Then why don¡¯t you be the head senior brother, and I be your junior sister?" Lian Yingxian looked at Mo Wuji nervously as she said that. After Mo Wuji brought her to this remote place filled with immortal crystals, she felt her attitude changing slightly. Back in Divergent Immortal Village, she was feeling gratitude, and treated Mo Wuji as she would a senior. But now, she felt moved. She would rather be Mo Wuji''s friend than be his disciple. Mo Wuji was slightly confused. How was becoming a disciple or a junior sister related to him establishing a sect? However, he immediately thought about how Lian Yingxian was definitely going to be an expert in the future. It didn''t matter of she was his disciple or his junior sister; she would still be a member of Ping Fan. Since Lian Yingxian wasn''t willing to be his disciple, it was fine if she became his junior sister. "Alright, then you will be my junior sister. My cultivation technique was created by myself. It is suitable for Jingfeng, but I''m not clear whether it would be suitable for you. I have two ideas. The first is for you to do the same as Jingfeng, to open your channels according to the method I will pass down to you. Then, you would cultivate my technique and slowly release the cultivation hidden within your Mind Palace. Gradually, you will convert it into your own power. The second method is to use my own technique to temper your fleshly body. When your fleshly body reaches a certain level, then we would try to release the cultivation hidden in your Mind Palace. If we don''t do this, your fleshly body might not be able to withstand the cultivation," Mo Wuji explained. Even though Lian Yingxian knew of immortals, and had a wider knowledge than Fu Jingfeng, she was ultimately still a mortal. She didn''t understand the two methods that Mo Wuji mentioned. She could only say, "Senior Brother, I think you should decide for me." "I''ll choose the first one then. If it doesn''t work, we can try the second method," Mo Wuji answered. With the second method, there wouldn''t be a situation of a conflict in cultivation techniques. After all, when Lian Yingxian recovers her memories, she would have her own technique. However, the second method was slightly dirty; it required their bodies to touch. This was not suitable for Mo Wuji and Lian Yingxian. "I will listen to senior brother and use the first method." Even though Lian Yingxian wasn''t very clear about tempering the fleshly body, she instinctively felt that Mo Wuji''s method of tempering her body might be inappropriate. ¡­ Half a month later, Mo Wuji left the seabed of Extreme Glade Sea. He had helped Lian Yingxian install a meridian opening lightning array. And just like he did with Fu Jingfeng, he imparted his cultivation technique and knowledge to Lian Yingxian. Before he left, he didn''t use his spiritual will to check on Fu Jingfeng''s condition. However, he felt the waves of lightning essence within Fu Jingfeng''s lightning array. It was very possible that Fu Jingfeng had already opened several meridians. The reason why Mo Wuji was leaving was because he was rushing to the Lake of Poison. His Undying World was still lacking the Fire Elemental Bead, Wood Elemental Bead and the Water Elemental Bead. A primal water crystal appeared within the Lake of Poison, so it was possible that there were a Water Elemental Bead. Furthermore, the news of the water crystal had already caused a stir. He didn''t want to miss this opportunity. ¡­ Wind Plains Immortal City was only an intermediate grade immortal city in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. The only thing exceptional about it was its results back during the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition. The pill refiner Ma Dian that represented Wind Plains Immortal City in the competition got a pretty good result of 300th place. It was just that Ma Dian was a pill refiner from Pill Dao Immortal Alliance; he didn¡¯t really have huge ties to Wind Plains Immortal City. After that pill competition, Wind Plains Immortal City also reverted back to its previous calm. Recently, however, Wind Plains¡¯ name started to spread once more. It wasn¡¯t due to the immortal city itself, but due to the lake nearby, the Lake of Poison. The Lake of Poison got its name because of its poisonous waters. What¡¯s worse was that these waters were extremely toxic. It was said that even Immortal Emperors wouldn¡¯t be able to defend against the toxicity of the lake water. Many have also said that only those that have God Physiques have the rights to enter the lake. Many people have also tried entering the lake using antidote pills. However, all the cultivators that did that only faced a single outcome: Death by poison. The only difference was that they managed to prolong their death. But no matter how long they prolonged it, they still wouldn¡¯t last more than a day. And that¡¯s if they escaped from the lake. If they continued to stay in the lake, then they wouldn¡¯t have lasted more than two hours. The reason why the Lake of Poison suddenly became so proliferated was because of a recent rumour. It was rumoured that a cultivator risked his life to enter the Lake of Poison, and he actually emerged with a primal water crystal. What kind of thing was a primal water crystal? It was something that even Immortal Emperors desired. If a water-type cultivator obtained it, he would soar to the sky in a single step. Even if non water-type cultivators obtained the primal water crystal, they could easily exchange it for something else. Thus, recently, countless of cultivators swarmed to the Lake of Poison. They all had the same goal: to obtain a primal water crystal. Mo Wuji was one of them. At this instant, he was disguised as a black faced monk. This was the same appearance he had when he was Rogue Cultivator 2705 back in the cultivation world. The only difference was that he had an additional scar on his face. It twisted and curved on his face, as though something was crawling within. It looked extremely terrifying and menacing. He also had a malicious and suffocating aura. One glance and you could tell that he wasn¡¯t someone that you would want to offend. As for his cultivation, he had controlled it to be at the early Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. Originally, a Grand Zhi Immortal was already considered an expert in Wind Plains Immortal Domain. However, there were so many cultivators that came over that a Grand Zhi Immortal didn¡¯t count for much. It was Mo Wuji¡¯s vicious appearance and baleful aura, however, that caused people to be unwilling to observe him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t intend to stay here for long. He didn¡¯t even enter Wind Plains Immortal City, but skirted past it from the outside and headed directly to the Lake of Poison. The Lake of Poison¡¯s area wasn¡¯t very big; it definitely didn¡¯t exceed an area of 100 square kilometers. Even on Earth, such an area wouldn¡¯t be considered big, needless to say the Immortal World. The sides of the Lake of Poison were already installed with several temporary establishments; there were stalls, pill houses, resthouses, etc. The flow of people was not small either. Many of them were merely pacing around the edges of the Lake of Poison. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t actually see anyone entering. As he walked past the stalls, Mo Wuji found that the most of the products sold were antidote pills. There were all sorts of antidote pills, and every kind of pill was portrayed like a garden of heavenly roses. Many of them were unknown even to a Tier 8 Pill Emperor like Mo Wuji. No matter which kind of antidote pill he saw, he would find a remark at the bottom, claiming that the salesperson was not responsible for any lack of effect towards the poison in the Lake of Poison. Even though there was this remark, Mo Wuji still saw several cultivators buying all sorts of antidote pills. They might not have entered the lake itself, but simply spending a prolonged time by the edge of the river required antidote pills. Mo Wuji shook his head. Indeed, as long as there was opportunity, there would be people who would take the risk. Even if they might lose their lives, it would not be for waste. As he thought about it, wasn¡¯t he also the same? The only difference was that these people were here for the primal water crystal, while he was here for the Water Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji walked into a resthouse and called for a cup of spiritual tea. He originally wanted to ask a waiter about the conditions of the Lake of Poison. However, he didn¡¯t expect that the people beside him were exactly discussing about that. Since that¡¯s the case, he wouldn¡¯t talk to the waiter but eavesdrop on this discussion. "That¡¯s not right. That Wei Bing died a whole 8 hours after he left the lake. He bought his antidote pill from Misty Immortal Pill Pavilion. He should be the one that lasted the longest¡­" "What you¡¯re saying is old news. This morning, I heard that Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s Bai Pingzhi lasted 10 hours after leaving the lake." "I suspect that there might only be one primal water crystal in the lake. Otherwise, why didn¡¯t any of the people that entered obtain anything?" "How would you know that? Those that entered the Lake of Poison were quickly taken away. Who knows whether they found anything? People like us are merely here to look at the show. Even if we found anything, we wouldn¡¯t be alive to enjoy it." ¡­ These people discussed with fervour. From their discussion, people could tell that there were already many people that entered the Lake of Poison. "This friend must have just arrived at the Lake of Poison?" As Mo Wuji was eavesdropping on the neighbouring discussion, a sharp and clear voice interrupted Mo Wuji. A curvy and slightly graceful woman walked in front of Mo Wuji. The moment this woman appeared, a faint fragrance wafted into Mo Wuji¡¯s nose. A pure, primal feeling surged into Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. A mere Grand Zhi Immortal actually tried to poison him. This woman was clearly courting death. His detoxification channel circulated once and that faint toxin instantly vanished. "May I ask if I can sit here?" This woman smiled sweetly, adding onto her seductiveness. Mo Wuji stared at this woman¡¯s neck and nodded, "Feel free to do so." This woman¡¯s body bent forward as she sat down, she was seemingly unaware that her ample chest was already slightly exposed. She spoke to Mo Wuji with caution, "Does immortal friend want to make an attempt in the Lake of Poison?" "That¡¯s right. I did intend to take a look. It was just that after observing for a few days, no one was able to come out from the Lake of Poison and survive. I¡¯m currently facing a dilemma," Mo Wuji frowned and said. The woman lifted her hand and formed a seal around them, "Immortal friend, I have a Tier 7 antidote pill. If immortal friend is willing to cooperate with me, I will be willing to offer this pill? I only have one condition, if immortal friend finds primal water crystals, I only want one third of them. I don¡¯t need anything else." "What if I die?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. The woman maintained her calm as she said with a hushed voice, "The chances of death if you enter the Lake of Poison is very high. Even though I have a Tier 7 antidote pill, I cannot confirm that immortal friend will turn out fine. Since we¡¯re working together, we both must face a risk. I am taking out a Tier 7 antidote pill. You should know that a Tier 7 antidote pill is a treasure that is as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. If you don¡¯t have an antidote pill, you would also die if you enter the Lake of Poison. Only with risk, would there be reward." Chapter 677: Deciding To Enter The Lake Chapter 677: Deciding To Enter The Lake Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Let me see the antidote pill." Mo Wuji licked his lips as he spoke, finally understanding why this woman was knocking on his door. While he seemed like a guy that did not care about anything while performing a task, she had already taken his personality into consideration. Although making a Tier 7 antidote pill was simple for him, but Mo Wuji did not believe that this woman could produce such a pill. It would take at least a Tier 7 Pill Emperor to concoct Tier 7 antidote pills. Moreover, antidote immortal pills were much harder to make than ordinary immortal pills, hence a person at the peak of Tier 7 Pill Emperor or Tier 8 Pill Emperor would be required to concoct such good quality Tier 7 antidote pills. However, she was a mere Grand Zhi Immortal, so what treasures could she produce to compel a Tier 8 Pill Emperor to refine pills? The woman smiled slightly, and placed a jade bottle in front of Mo Wuji, who reached out to take it, opening it up. Without pouring the pill out into his hands, Mo Wuji knew that this was a Heart Questioning Pill. Heart Questioning Pills were authentic Tier 7 immortal pills, and she wasn¡¯t wrong. This was a Tier 7 antidote immortal pill indeed. The most important thing to note was that the Tier 7 antidote immortal pill in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands was also an intermediate grade pill. Soon after, the woman took the pill back from Mo Wuji, smiling as she spoke, "I¡¯m Leng Yulin. If you¡¯re willing to cooperate with me, then I¡¯m yours for today. After you¡¯ve enjoyed yourself, I¡¯ll give you the pill and we¡¯ll go to the Lake of Poison. How does that sound?" "There¡¯s so many people around, why did you choose me?" Mo Wuji regained his cool, and asked calmly. This kind of woman actually had the name Leng Yulin¡­ "Because I found you pleasing to the eye. Someone that looks as fierce as you, is the kind of person that will keep to his word. As long as you agree to work with me, I won¡¯t go back on my word." Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even distinguish whether she was speaking the truth or not, hence he smile and replied, "Sure, we can work together. But what you¡¯re offering is not enough. The antidote pill is indeed rather rate, but in reality even you can¡¯t guarantee that this pill will be effective, can you? You¡¯ve an antidote pill that might not really be an antidote, but I still have to risk my life to cooperate with you?" After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave. "Immortal friend, wait up. I still have a map here. Take a look at it." Leng Yulin stopped Mo Wuji, taking out a jade sliip to pass to him. With a sweep of his spiritual will, Mo Wuji stared at Leng yulin in shock, "This is a map of the interior of the Lake of Poison?" Although there were restrictions placed on the surroundings, Leng Yulin kept her voice low, "Yes. Spiritual will can¡¯t be used in the lake, so I put my life on the line to obtain this map. You must know that there¡¯s no benefits to gain from sitting around. If you don¡¯t need to risk anything, then why would I take out this map and antidote pill? I believe that you know too. Since ancient times, which expert standing at the peak didn¡¯t climb up from a pile of the dead. If you have the heart of an expert, we should work together. If you don¡¯t, then everything I said would have been for naught." "We can work together. " This time Mo Wuji replied decisively, since spiritual will couldn¡¯t be used in the lake, and he wasn¡¯t sure that he could see through his spiritual eye either. The Lake of Poison was a poisonous place after all, so while he had a detoxification channel, he still hoped to get out as soon as possible. A look of joy appeared on Leng Yulin¡¯s face, "How should I address you immortal friend?" "My name is Fan Lin, let¡¯s go now." Mo Wuji wanted to enter and exit the lake as fast as possible. After all, Yong Ying Immortal Domain was a place without many experts, and if news of this place spread, there would be Immortal Emperor level experts coming here for the Primal Water Crystals, which wasn¡¯t good news for him. "You don¡¯t want to sleep with me?" Leng Yulin asked quizzically. "Must I sleep with you? If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll do it." Mo WUji spoke as he stared coldly at Leng Yulin. While he said such a statement, but in reality he wouldn¡¯t have done it. Why would he waste his first time on a public bus like her that everyone could ride? Upon hearing this, Leng Yulin was stunned, and shook her head, "No. Since immortal friend wants to go there quickly, we¡¯ll head over now." By then Mo Wuji had already walked out of the resthouse, using his actions to tell Leng Yulin that it was time to go. At this moment, he had withdrew his spiritual will, but still kept his spirit storage channel tracking Leng Yulin¡¯s surroundings. What puzzled Mo Wuji was the absence of any tricks from her, instead she just followed closely behind him. There were man shophouses and resthouses set up around the Lake of Poison, but there weren¡¯t many cultivators around. The moment Mo Wuji and Leng yulin reached the lakeside, a commotion was stirred up. Within a few breath¡¯s time, hundreds of people surrounded the Lake of Poison, and more were still coming. Apparently, someone entering the lake was a very big thing to them. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze swept across the crowd, before he suddenly spoke, "Immortal Friend Leng, there¡¯s so many people surrounding the lake, can you ensure my safety after I come out?" Immediately, Leng Yulin responded, "Immortal Friend Lin Fan, rest assured, I will make sure you are safe. As for how I do it, please don¡¯t ask." Nodding his head, Mo Wuji gestured, "Give me the antidote pill." A jade bottle was passed to him, and Leng Yulin added on, "Remember, this pill must be consumed quickly after it leaves the bottle, otherwise its effectiveness will drop significantly." For the unique characteristics of Heart Questioning Pill, Mo Wuji knew much more than Leng Yulin. This pill indeed had to be consumed as soon as possible after being taken out. As he used his spiritual will to scan through one last time, Mo Wuji confirmed that it was still a Heart Questioning Pill in the jade bottle. He poured the pill out, but got a shock when it landed in his hand. A Tier 7 Heart Questioning Pill was clearly just in the bottle, but after he tilted the bottle, it had turned into a Tier 4 Cleansing Pill. This Cleansing Pill seemed to have been processed to possess an identical appearance and aura as a Heart Questioning Pill. Whether the Tier 7 Heart Questioning Pill could counter the liquid poison in the Lake of Poison, Mo Wuji was still unsure, but he was confident that this Tier 4 Cleansing Pill would not work. Spreading his spiritual will into the jade bottle, he instantly found out what was going on. There was actually a hidden mechanism in the jade bottle. A transfer array was concealed in the center, so once he tried to pour the pill out, the pill in the jade bottle would be transferred away, while another pill would be transferred to take its place. Mo Wuji was equivalent to a Tier 6 Immortal Array Master, and was locked up in the Immortal Sealing Array for over a year, so what kind of high level array techniques had he not seen before? A mere transfer array, no matter how concealed, would not escape from his eyes. It was this woman named Leng Yulin that was the most impressive, to be able to perform such a switch in an instant. Under normal circumstances, pills that had been inspected by spiritual will in the bottle would only be checked for a short instant before being consumed. However, she probably did not expect that Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, so disguised pills were useless in his eyes. What a pity it was for her to have met him. Not only was Mo Wuji an excellent array master, but also a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, hence there was no use in playing such tricks in front of him. Surprisingly, Mo Wuji did not expose the ruse. Instead casually popping the Cleansing Pill into his mouth, while using the spiritual will in his spirit storage channel to sent the pill into his Undying World. Seeing that Mo Wuji had taken the antidote pill, Leng Yulin happily passed a jade slip to Mo Wuji, "Look at this." After receiving the slip, he looked at Leng Yulin with a puzzled expression.There was a map on the jade slip, but it was completely different from the one that she had shown him previously Apologetically, Leng Yulin explained, "Immortal Friend Fan Lin, because it was the first time that we met, I withheld some things from you. The map I gave you previously was a fake, while this one is real. There¡¯s a gap in this jade slip, and I recommend that you place your rings in there for the time being, as the Lake of Poison not only corrodes a cultivator¡¯s flesh and primordial spirit, but also various kinds of immortal equipment. This jade slip was made from special materials, so it won¡¯t be corroded." As Mo Wuji let his spiritual will seep him, indeed he saw a gap. But there was a similar transfer array concealed at the side, so once he place something in there, it would be transferred away. What a cunning woman. Not only did she want him to throw away his life, but she also wanted his ring, and whatever he got from the Lake of Poison. No matter how strong the poison was, he would not let it seep into his rings, much less dissolve them. Mo Wuji then smiled as he replied, "No wonder Immortal Friend Leng isn¡¯t afraid that I take everything for myself, since there¡¯s such a measure in place." Leng Yulin stared at Mo Wuji with a pair of apologetic eyes, while flirtatiously smiling, "Immortal Friend Fan Lin please don¡¯t be offended, after all we¡¯re partners. Once you come out, I will open up the gap in this jade slip." "Ok, no problem with that." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he took the jade slip, and went to the side of the Lake of Poison. There was a thin layer of mist at the surface of the lake, which was no different from an ordinary lake. "Go in, go in!" Seeing Mo Wuji stand at the side, the onlookers started to edge him on. "You can¡¯t go in, the water of this lake is extremely toxic. Even if you have antidote pills, you can¡¯t counter it." A crisp voice sounded out from afar. When he looked up, Mo Wuji realised that he knew the owner of the voice. It was the beautiful girl that he rescued. An old Immortal King stood by her side. This girl was not very street smart, and she was the only one that was willing to point out that the lake was very poisonous, so no one should enter, despite everyone being aware of the fact. On the other hand, the rest of the crowd not only kept their mouths shut, but also hoped that Mo Wuji would jump in sooner. Leng Yulin sighed, "The antidote pill is only effective for a limited period of time, so I recommend that you jump in sooner. Otherwise once the pill loses effect, it wouldn¡¯t be good." However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother with Leng Yulin anymore. His spiritual will tried to enter the lake, but couldn¡¯t penetrate it as expected. The only thing his spiritual will could see was a blurry scene. Without hesitation, Mo Wuji dove headfirst into the Lake of Poison. Since spiritual will was useless in the lake, he obviously couldn¡¯t part the lake¡¯s ¡®water¡¯ either. Chapter 678: The House Beneath The Lake Of Poison Chapter 678: The House Beneath The Lake Of Poison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Once in the Lake of Poison, Mo Wuji felt a cold sensation on his skin. Even though he was of God Physique, he could sense that vitality was leaving his body rapidly. What impressive poison this was, no wonder Immortal Emperors couldn¡¯t enter the lake. Those cold sensations were just an illusion, when in reality it was caused by poison which would eat away at one¡¯s vitality and primordial spirit. Mo Wuji¡¯s detoxification channel began its major circulation, converting the poisonous substances that seeped in his body into immortal spiritual energy after one round. However, just as Mo Wuji absorbed the immortal spiritual energy from the first round, more poison entered his body. Now he understood that even with his detoxification channel, he couldn¡¯t stay in the Lake of Poison for very long, unless he continuously cultivated. Continuous cultivation was not on Mo Wuji¡¯s agenda though. He was worried that he would detoxify the entire lake while he cultivated, which would lead to countless experts rushing into the lake once there was no poison. The first thing he did wasn¡¯t to follow the directions on the map, instead he opened his spiritual eye. A woman like Leng Yulin couldn¡¯t be trusted. What made Mo Wuji heave a sigh of relief was that even though this Lake of Poison could obstruct his spiritual will, it couldn¡¯t do the same for his spiritual eye. A radius of a thousand meters around him was as clear as day with it. This Lake of Poison seemed to be deeper than the Extreme Glade Sea, as he took almost an incense¡¯s worth of time before seeing the bottom of the lake. It was pitch black, except for a few black rocks and messy piles of skeletons. These skeletons had been corrupted by the poison in the lake completely, appearing dirty and extremely frightening. As Mo Wuji began to go in the direction markedout on the jade slip, a large black door came into sight within half an incense¡¯s time. There was actually a building at the bottom of the lake, and this door seemed like the only way in. He tried to knock down the door with a punch, but to no avail. Mo Wuji was aware that with his current cultivation level, without some special means, it would be seemingly impossible for him to open the doors. The grade of this defensive array wasn¡¯t that high, but all attempts to break the array to enter failed. The only method left was to forcibly break in. Array flags were thrown out one by one, together with piles of immortal crystals that were sent into the array base formed by the array flags. A good four hours later, Mo Wuji had set up his own array to boost his attack. After setting all of this up, he still did not attack immediately. First, he set up another array to conceal all aftershocks, before drawing out a large hammer, striking blow after blow at the black door. ¡­ At this moment, the cultivators surrounding the Lake of Poison had gradually dispersed, as it usually meant that a person was crippled after two hours in the lake. Four hours without any news meant the person was most likely dead, and Mo Wuji was in his sixth hour in the lake. If he could live, it would be highly unusual. Leng Yulin who was standing at one side also sighed, mumbling to herself, "Useless." The things she gave away weren¡¯t that cheap, so she couldn¡¯t leave that soon. One Tier 4 antidote immortal pill, a jade bottle with a transfer array, and a jade slip that could transfer items, these items were rather valuable. Hence it was quite a pity for her to throw them all away into the Lake of Poison. If she knew that Mo Wuji was such a useless person, she wouldn¡¯t have invested to much in him. Luckily this guy did not want to sleep with her, otherwise her losses would have been even greater. ¡­ "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s giant hammer landed on the black door, and the supportive attack array also shot a blast on energy out. The power of the hammer more than doubled in an instant, causing the black door to begin shaking. Seeing this, Mo Wuji attacked relentlessly, swinging the hammer time after time, landing strike after strike. A few hours later, a ¡®crack¡¯ could be heard from the black doors, which made Mo Wuji mad with joy. Then, he swung the hammer down even harder for the last few times. "Crack!" The doors finally broke apart from the center, revealing a giant crack where dense water type aura seeped out. With a wave of his hand, tens of array flags were thrown out, containing the aura that had leaked out, while he leapt through the doors himself. At the same time, a grey clothed man stared at the center of the Lake of Poison from the side of the lake without blinking. He was sure that his eyes did not play tricks on him, and the center of the lake seemed to have had some activity, with the ripples still propagating outwards. As the Lake of Poison was too toxic, there weren¡¯t any fishes or organisms living in it. Indeed, when a gust of wind blew past, the surface of the lake would be disturbed. However, the ripples that were produced by wind and these circular ripples were completely different. This sort of ripples propagate outwards from the center of the lake, which meant that someone was obviously attacking something at the bottom of the lake. Could that scarred man that entered the Lake of Poison many hours ago did not die? Instead finding the secret at the bottom of the lake, and currently was attacking it? When he thought of this, the grey clothed man grew excited. If that was the case, then he would have struck the jackpot. While this situation was unlikely, it was not impossible. What if that scarred man had some means to block out the poison? Taking in a deep breath, the grey clothed man went to sit on a rock in a secluded area, and began monitoring the center of the lake. But what disappointed him was that after this, those ripples seemed to vanish completely. Just like that, but the grey clothed man did not intend to leave. If his judgement wasn¡¯t wrong, there was another opportunity for him: when the scarred man sneaked out of the lake. He had seen the scarred man¡¯s cultivation level before: a mere Grand Zhi Immortal. As a Grand Luo Immortal, it would be as easy as squishing an ant to kill a Grand Luo Immortal. ¡­ After entering the house, Mo Wuji kept his spiritual eye away. There was obviously some array in place, as the water of the Lake of Poison could not get in. Without the lake water, he could see everything in the house clearly with his spiritual will, no longer requiring his spiritual eye. The house was not that big, possibly around 10 square meters large. In the center of the house was a table, and a skeleton sat in the corner of the house. The skeleton had been preserved very well, and had a ring on its finger. When Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on the ring, he immediately felt that something was up. Based on his research into various kinds of restrictions, he could detect that the restriction on the ring had been touched recently. This meant that the skeleton was still alive, Mo Wuji thought to himself. Cold sweat dripped down his back, while a look of happiness appeared in his eyes. He was about to jump at the ring, but at this moment, something on the table caught his eye, and caused him to stop to walk towards it. There were five Primal Water Crystals on the table, which Mo Wuji grabbed, feeling disappointed. What he wanted were not Primal Water Crystals, but a Water Elemental Bead. Even if there were a hundred Primal Water Crystals, he wouldn¡¯t care. "What a pity, these Primal Water Crystals are useless to me. I heard that Primal Water Crystals were located close to Water Elemental Beads, but I guess that I had assumed too much. Sigh¡­" Shaking his head, Mo Wuji took out a Primal Fire Crystal, mumbling to himself, "First Primal Fire Crystals, then Primal Water Crystals, where are the Water Elemental Beads!" While he was speaking, Mo Wuji spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will had seeped into the ground beneath him. At this moment, his back was faced at the skeleton, but as long as there was any movement, he would be alerted immediately. After mumbling to himself for a long while, Mo Wuji kept the Primal Fire and Water Crystals into his ring, before throwing the table to one side. Perhaps it was because of his desperation to find a Water Elemental Bead, he had forgotten about the ring on the skeleton¡¯s hand, but once Mo Wuji flipped the table, he was stunned. Initially, his plan was to leave after flipping the table away. Who knew that the table was would be a concealment array base. Once it was thrown to one side, the concealed items were revealed. He saw a fountain with the densest water type aura gushing out of it. One bead around the size of two fists was floating above the fountain. Water Elemental Bead? Mo Wuji excitedly grabbed the Water Elemental Bead, and this moment he finally understood what was going on. This fountain did not form out of nowhere, but it was due to the presence of the Water Elemental Bead. Over time, it created a fountain. As for the Primal Water Crystals on the table, they were placed there intentionally by someone. The first person that came to mind was the skeleton in the corner. There was a 90% chance that the skeleton did it. As for why the Water Elemental Bead was beneath the table, while the table was converted into a concealment array base, Mo Wuji could not figure it out. He did not have to either. All that mattered was that he had the Water Elemental Bead. The bead was kept into a jade box with lightning speed, and sent into a storage ring. After completing these actions, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing. If there was someone else here, he would think that Mo Wuji¡¯s next line of action was to take the ring. But without even turning back, Mo Wuji left the house. In the instant that Mo Wuji left, a terrifying aura filled up the house. A wild, unrestrained rage emerged, that Mo Wuji would be able to sense even when enveloped by the black water. As he left, Mo Wuji clenched his fists out of fear. All of his actions in the house was just an act. He was very afraid that the primordial spirit within the skeleton would act against him, even though he had an extremely large sea of consciousness, and the Scholar¡¯s Heart that could go inside it. However, his cultivation level was simply too low, being only at elementary Grand Luo Immortal Stage. If he met with an expert from the ancient times, this wouldn¡¯t be enough. Luckily he did not touch that ring, and thankfully his guess that the primordial spirit probably couldn¡¯t leave the house was right. If he did touch the ring, it would very likely have been him that wouldn¡¯t be able to leave instead. Chapter 679: Sister Chapter 679: Sister Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji drew out his spiritual eye once again, looking through the Lake of Poison. Perhaps he had dwelled in the lake for too long, as the crowd of cultivators had dispersed. Even Leng Yulin was no longer present, probably thinking that he had died. After throwing the jade slip and the Cleansing Pill into the lake, Mo Wuji prepared to go ashore. As he was in the Lake of Poison, his eyes might not have covered every corner of the shore. All these years, who knew how many dangerous situations Mo Wuji had went through, the last one even costing him Da Huang and almost his life. Thus, even though Mo Wuji knew that there was no one on shore, he still teleported away instantly, disappearing from the edge of the Lake of Poison. The grey clothed man that lay in ambush was worried that Mo Wuji would jump into the lake again, so he did not dare to go too close, preparing to act after Mo Wuji left the Lake of Poison. However, to his dismay, before he could make a move, Mo Wuji disappeared from the spot. What a sly fellow, the grey clothed man thought to himself, and immediately chased in the direction that Mo Wuji escaped in. But moments later, he knew that this was a fruitless venture. He couldn¡¯t even catch a glimpse of Mo Wuji¡¯s shadow, much less catch up with Mo Wuji. He hated himself for being too careless, at the same time confirming that Mo Wuji had obtained some treasure from the Lake of Poison. No matter what, he had to catch Mo Wuji. How was a mere Grand Zhi Immortal qualified to possess the treasure of the Lake of Poison. Those treasures should belong to him. ¡­ A good hour of escaping later, Mo Wuji finally found a location to start detoxifying himself. The process of turning all of the poison in his body to immortal spiritual energy took two more hours, and 10 droplets of poison was forced out of his body to be kept in a jade bottle. The Lake of Poison was extremely notorious for its toxicity which could even poison Immortal Emperors. However, this poison also had a unique characteristic, which was that it couldn¡¯t leave the lake. Once it did, it would lose its toxicity very quickly. The reason Mo Wuji kept a portion of the poison was to check if he could preserve the poison forced out through his detoxification channel. Although his top priority was to research into the Water Elemental Bead in his possession, he did not dare to take it out here. The Water Elemental Bead was kept in his Undying World together with the few Primal Water Crystals, then he altered his appearance to the initial look he had when going to Extreme Glade City with Fu Jingfeng, before walking out. "Whoosh!" Right as Mo Wuji walked out, a spatial ripple came his way. At first, he wanted to attack, but after seeing the figure that landed, he gave up on that idea. This person was someone he knew, that young woman. He was still with her during the day, so who would have known that she would appear here suddenly? However, Mo Wuji quickly realised the situation she was in. She probably got severely injured by someone and fled here using a talisman. "Eh, it¡¯s you? Why are you here?" The young woman was a little shocked after seeing Mo Wuji. How could an ordinary mortal like him run this deep into the wilderness? "Sister, you¡¯re hurt?" Mo Wuji stuttered as he asked. With messed up hair, and bloodstains all over her check, you could see that this young woman was injured straight away. When she heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. As a mortal, Mo Wuji actually called her, a person at the Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal, ¡®Sister¡¯. He was simply courting death. Luckily she did not like to kill, thus the thought of doing so never crossed her mind. She only reached out and grabbed Mo Wuji before swiftly leaving their current position. An incense¡¯s time later, she finally stopped, throwing Mo Wuji onto the ground. She then spoke, "Don¡¯t tell anyone that you saw me¡­ That¡¯s right, you haven¡¯t answered the question i asked just now. How did you end up here?" This location wasn¡¯t that far from Extreme Glade City to her, a Grand Luo Immortal. But for an ordinary mortal like Mo Wuji, there was an extremely great distance between both places. Mo Wuji quickly explained, "Old Man Yu Sheng¡¯s grandson joined an immortal sect, and they¡¯re all not in Divergent Immortal Village anymore. I felt a little lonely living there, so I wanted to try my luck in the outside world. Who knew I would get lost on the way, and eventually end up here?" When she heard this, the young woman nodded her head. Over a month¡¯s time was indeed enough for someone to reach this place by taking carriages and walking. "Since you have nothing to do, follow me." The young woman suddenly recalled something as she was about to leave, and told Mo Wuji. In his heart, Mo Wuji thought to himself, who would have the time to leave with you? He had just obtained a Water Elemental bead and was preparing to upgrade his Undying World. Leave with her? Stop dreaming. In response, Mo Wuji rejected the offer, "I¡¯m not going. I have to return to prepare for building a house. This project is rather large, and concerns whether I can pass on my skills in the future. So I cannot leave with you." If she wasn¡¯t seriously injured, the young woman wanted to burst out in laughter. An ordinary fisherman actually said that his skills would not be inherited. Thinking back to her present situation, and Yuerong¡¯s situation, she could no longer laugh, instead saying, "Lady Yuerong is injured, and I¡¯m about to go save Uncle Qian, so I need you to help take care of her for me. She¡¯s very innocent and naive, hence I¡¯m afraid that she will panic. All you have to do is to keep her occupied with conversations." Mo Wuji stared suspiciously at this woman, "Who is Yuerong? Who is Uncle Qian?" "Did you forget? The girl that saved you from the prison underneath Seaside Trade Union is our Young Lady, and her name is Yan Yuerong. Back then both Uncle Qian and I were by her side. My name is Xiao xiaoyu, and Uncle Qian is Yu Qian. Think about it, if it weren¡¯t for Yuerong, the few of you would probably have died. Since she saved you guys, would it be too much to ask for you to take care of her for a short while?" Xiao Xiaoyu explained. That young lady is injured? Mo Wuji was shocked. He remembered that when he entered the Lake of Poison, she was still ok, even reminding him to be careful of the poison in the lake. This put Mo Wuji in a difficult position. Although nothing would have happened to him even if Yan Yuerong did not go to Seaside Trade Union, but that girl really left a deep impression in Mo Wuji. She was kind-hearted, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t have lent a helping hand when passing by him. Looking at Xiao Xiaoyu, he felt a little unhappy. A Grand Luo Immortal bodyguard like her was still not good enough in terms of cultivation level, despite being at the Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal. There weren¡¯t many kind-hearted girls like Yan Yuerong in the Immortal World, so after rubbing his forehead, Mo Wuji decided that since he had encountered her, then he would just go over to help her out. "So are you going or not. Say something. I don¡¯t have all the time in the world to wait for you." Xiao Xiaoyu got a little irritated. After all she was at the Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal, but actually still faced such difficulties when asking a mortal to do something. Impatiently, Mo Wuji replied, "Ok then, I will go over to help you take care of Sister Yuerong." Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s eyes bulged out as she stared at Mo Wuji, "Be careful with your words. Yuerong is our Young Lady. Even if you were an immortal, you still can¡¯t call her ¡®Sister¡¯. You must refer to her as ¡®Lady¡¯, understand?" "Sure." Mo Wuji sighed. "Come with me." After speaking, Xiao Xiaoyu reached to grab Mo Wuji again. But before she could do so, Mo Wuji quickly remarked, "That¡¯s right, I found a dead immortal at the roadside a few days ago, and he was holding a jade bottle like this in his hands. Can you see if this thing is meant for immortals to consume?" After speaking, he handed a jade bottle over to Xiao Xiaoyu. Puzzled, Xiao Xiaoyu gazed at Mo Wuji and received the jade bottle, at the same time opening its cover. The next moment, she covered her mouth in shock, with her hands trembling as well. A Draining Immortal King Pill. This was actually a Draining Immortal King Pill, and a unique grade one at that. Chapter 680: Emergency Immortal Sect Meeting Chapter 680: Emergency Immortal Sect Meeting Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Now the Draining Immortal King Pill was amongst the list of the most valuable items in the Immortal World. This was a Tier 7 Immortal Pill that could assist a person in Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal to advance to Immortal King, hence one pill was worth a fortune. She closed the cover of the jade bottle, and stared at Mo Wuji for a while, before asking, "You really picked this up?" You couldn¡¯t blame her for being suspicious, as Mo Wuji¡¯s story was simply too ridiculous. If one could randomly pick up Draining Immortal King Pills from the roadside, then there would be too many Immortal Kings around. Luckily Mo Wuji said that this happened a few days ago, otherwise she would make him bring her to the location of the dead body. Many people at the peak of Grand Luo Immortal couldn¡¯t find this pill, and subsequently remained stuck at this cultivation level. Just as she said, if she had a Draining Immortal King Pill, she would have advanced to Immortal King a long time ago. Mo Wuji gazed at Xiao Xiaoyu with a puzzled look, and said, "Yes, is something wrong about it? Or is this not something that immortals would use?" Precisely because Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t stand the sight of Xiao Xiaoyu constantly getting injured due to her cultivation level being too low, only at the Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal, he took out a Draining Immortal King Pill to give her. Once she advanced to Immortal King, that Yan Yuerong wouldn¡¯t require his care anymore right? Draining Immortal King Pills might have been very valuable to other people, but to a Tier 8 Pill Emperor like him that had a Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit Tree, it wasn¡¯t much. Xiao Xiaoyu forced herself to calm down, and after continuously inspecting Mo Wuji, she reached a conclusion. Mo Wuji was indeed a mortal. Even she couldn¡¯t believe his luck. A mortal actually found a Draining Immortal King Pill. Fate seemed to work in mysterious ways. "I remember you¡¯re called Da Huang right? Da Huang, this pill you picked up is extremely important to me, so could you give it to me? Of course, if there¡¯s anything you need, just tell me, and I¡¯ll try my best to fulfil your request." Xiao Xiaoyu took in a deep breath, and pleaded with Mo Wuji with a tone she had never used before. With a casual wave of his hand, Mo Wuji replied, "If you need it then just take it. I have two hands and two legs, so I won¡¯t die of hunger. Regarding Sister¡­" Before Mo Wuji could complete his sentence, Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s expression changed, and she immediately brought him away from their present location. It seemed as though something had happened. At that point, Mo Wuji gave up on going back to Extreme Glade Sea straight away. Both Jingfeng and Yingxian were in closed door cultivation, so there wouldn¡¯t be much difference if he went back a little later. After leaving the Lake of Poison at the outskirts of Wind Plains Immortal City, Xiao Xiaoyu brought him back to Wind Plains Immortal City. "Follow closely behind me. Many things have happened in Wind Plains Immortal City recently, so don¡¯t look around randomly." Xiao Xiaoyu placed Mo Wuji down, then walked into the city. She seemed to be in a rush, as Yuerong had just asked her to return to Wind Plains Immortal City quickly, but did not mention what had happened. A few hours ago, Mo Wuji had just left Wind Plains Immortal City. Although there were many people around then, but there was an absence of the tense atmosphere that he felt now. Frowning, Xiao Xiaoyu felt the changes to Wind Plains Immortal City. Straight away, she brought Mo Wuji into the number one immortal resthouse of the city, Fixed Plains Resthouse. When Mo Wuji entered Fixed Plains Reshouse, he anxiously lowered his head. Yong Ying Immortal Domain wasn¡¯t that large an immortal domain, and for Wind Plains Immortal City that was at the edge of the immortal domain, it naturally was only a small immortal city. Hence Immortal Kings would be a rare sight. After he had entered Fixed Plains Resthouse, Immortal Kings were everywhere. There were even a few Immortal Reverents that ran past them, one of which he suspected to be a Quasi-emperor. One had to note that Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor, Kui Fengyun, was only a Quasi-emperor, and back then he had taken away Kui Fengyun¡¯s Emperor Dao Fruit, so it was unknown if this guy could still advance to Immortal Emperor in good time. Now that a Quasi-emperor had appeared, it probably wasn¡¯t Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor. "Respected Leader, why are you here?" Xiao Xiaoyu quickly bowed respectfully after she entered the room. Thankfully Yuerong called her back not because something had happened, but as their respected leader had arrived. The person standing in the center of the room was a middle aged man with a white beard. This man looked rather skinny, but had reached intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage. Mo Wuji did not really care about Immortal Reverents. Although he wasn¡¯t a match for one, but if an Immortal Reverent wanted to check his background, it wouldn¡¯t be possible. All the while, the people that interacted with him were Quasi-emperors, Immortal Emperors, and Grand Immortal Emperors. On top of that, there were also experts like Xu Suren, Xiao Lishi, and Lei Guyun. A intermediate Immortal Reverent was just an ant in the face of these Grand Immortal Emperors. The middle aged man nodded at Xiao Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, you¡¯ve worked hard. If it weren¡¯t for you, Manager Qian probably wouldn¡¯t be alive." "Uncle Qian is ok?" Xiao Xiaoyu asked excitedly. After she led the enemies away, she wanted to turn back to save Yu Qian, but now that she heard that he was ok, joy naturally filled her heart. Nodding his head once again, the middle aged man replied, "Because you led a few experts away, Manager Qian could hold out until I arrived. He¡¯s recuperating inside the room now." Once he finished his sentences, he turned to look at Mo Wuji, who was standing behind Xiao Xiaoyu, calmly asking, "Who is this mortal?" Xiao Xiaoyu quickly made an introduction, "This is Da Huang, a fisherman from Divergent Immortal Village at the edge of Extreme Glade Sea. Little Miss saved him once, and I met him in the wilderness this time. As I was worried about his situation, and Little Miss was seriously injured, I brought him back to run errands. But I didn¡¯t expect that Revered Leader would be here¡­" Mo Wuji nodded to himself. It seemed like Xiao Xiaoyu did not bring him to Wind Plains Immortal City purely for her Little Miss, but also to take care of him. A mortal left in the wilderness would easily lose his life there. Birds of the same feather flock together indeed. That Little Miss named Yan Yuerong was very kind, and Xiao Xiaoyu wasn¡¯t a bad person either. There weren¡¯t many immortals that would lend a helping hand to mortals. "Eh, Da Huang, it¡¯s really you." A voice filled with surprise echoed out as the slightly pale Yan Yuerong approached. "Little Miss, you¡¯re ok?" Xiao Xiaoyu exclaimed, "That¡¯s right, Revered Leader is here, so there¡¯s naturally no need to worry about Little Miss¡¯ injuries." Chuckling to herself, Yan Yuerong replied, "Sister Xiaoyu, how many times have I told you, call me Yuerong, not Little Miss." With a face of seriousness, Xiao Xiaoyu responded, "Manners must not be forgotten, and these small things reflect one¡¯s character" "Whatever, do whatever you want." Yan Yuerong seemed to be more interested in Mo Wuji. After she completed her sentence, he gaze fell on him as she said, "Da Huang, why are you here?" When she finished, she spoke to the middle aged man too, "Great grandfather, Da Huang is very loyal. When the family that took him in was captured by Seaside Trade Union, he risked his life to save them. He¡¯s even more upright than us immortals." The man that Xiao Xiaoyu referred to as Revered Leader nodded his head at Mo Wuji, "Although you don¡¯t have spiritual roots, but you have the attitude of an immortal¡­" After a short pause, he continued, "It¡¯s ok if you can¡¯t cultivate, from now on you can stay at Yuerong¡¯s side and help her run errands. Even though you can¡¯t live for long, but we can at least ensure you¡¯ll reach a few hundred years of age." He simply doted this granddaughter of his a little too much. Hence, since she valued Mo Wuji¡¯s character, then he would let him run errands for her. "Great grandfather, don¡¯t make conclusions that quickly. I can help Da Huang find some martial arts techniques. Who knows, he might have talent for martial arts." Yan Yuerong added on. She really admired Mo Wuji a lot. The middle aged man nodded his head in agreement, "You¡¯re right, the heavens always gives everyone a chance. It isn¡¯t unheard of for people without spiritual roots to seek dao on the path of martial artists." As he heard their conversation, Mo Wuji was speechless. Make him, a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, run errands for this little Grand Yi Immortal? You must be dreaming. Just as he was about to reject the offer, the middle aged man carried on speaking, "The Yong Ying Immortal Sect Meeting at Wind Plains Immortal City¡¯s Castellan¡¯s estate will be starting soon. Yuerong, you and Xiaoyu can go to observe it." "What Yong Ying Immortal Sect Meeting?" Yan Yuerong asked quizzically. Revealing a smile, the middle aged man explained, "A few hours ago there was a Grand Zhi Immortal named Lin Fan that entered the Lake of Poison. This guy had some sort of treasure so he didn¡¯t fear the poisonous water of the lake, and stayed in there for hours. In the end he obtained all of the treasures in the Lake of Poison, which are rumored to be 10 Primal Water Crystals, and a Water Elemental Bead. On top of that, there¡¯s a ring that was left behind by some ancient power. To catch this guy, Wind Plains Immortal City is holding an immortal sect meeting to make this guy a wanted man." Mo Wuji was shocked. There was only one guy that knew he obtained a Water Elemental bead, so how did this news leak out? No, that skeleton also knew. The only possibility now is that there was someone that entered the Lake of Poison after him, reached the house he blew open and met the skeleton¡­ "No wonder I felt something was up in Wind Plains Immortal City when I returned." Xiao Xiaoyu remarked. Upon hearing this news, Yan Yuerong frowned, "Great grandfather, since those items were obtained by that guy named Lin Fan, why is everyone after him? Didn¡¯t he get them with his own strength?" A grin appeared on the middle aged man¡¯s face, "Yuerong, you¡¯re kind at heart, which makes great grandfather very happy. But the Immortal World isn¡¯t a place that¡¯s full of upright people like you imagine it to be. There are many things going on in the dark. You were hunted by other people on two occasions right? The first time you were saved by a passing expert, while I managed to save Manager Qian today. They were after you because it is rumored that one of the Primal Water Crystals is in your possession." "But I didn¡¯t take any." Yan Yuerong frantically said. Sighing, the middle aged man spoke, "I know you didn¡¯t take it, but other people don¡¯t. In the Immortal World, it would be better to believe that something is true regardless whether it really is true or not. There¡¯s currently a lack of cultivation resources, and what kind of a treasure is a Primal Water Crystal? Once it appears, who wouldn¡¯t want to obtain it? Thankfully I still have some level of influence, otherwise, do you think we would be able to stay here so comfortably?" Chapter 681: Meeting A Past Acquaintance Chapter 681: Meeting A Past Acquaintance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As Yan Yuerong thought back to the few times she was hunted down, she quieted down, and her belief in the upright character of immortals slowly disintegrated. Sensing Yan Yuerong¡¯s unhappiness, Xiao Xiaoyu pass a jade bottle to the middle aged man and said, "Revered Leader, this is a Draining Immortal King Pill that Da Huang obtained. I planned to give it to Yuerong¡­" Mo Wuji turned around with a shocked expression. Although Xiaoyu herself needed this immortal pill urgently, she could still suggest giving it to Yan Yuerong. If it were any other person at the peak of Grand Luo Immortal, it would be very difficult for him/her to make that decision. "Draining Immortal King Pill?" The middle aged man reached out to open the jade bottle, after which he was pleasantly surprised, "It¡¯s actually a unique grade Draining Immortal King Pill, Xiaoyu, how do you have such a valuable immortal pill?" Since the Draining Immortal King Fruit Tree of the Immortal World had withered, Draining Immortal King Pills became increasingly expensive. On top of that, this was a unique grade Draining Immortal King Pill, which was something that only Tier 8 Pill Emperors could make. Xiao Xiaoyu quickly pointed at Mo Wuji, "Da Huang found this pill¡­" Following which she narrated the story that Mo Wuji told her. Picked it up? The middle aged man¡¯s spiritual will immediately enveloped Mo Wuji. He did not believe that Draining Immortal King Pills could be picked up randomly. In his heart Mo Wuji was laughing to himself. So what if this was an Immortal Reverent? Could one discover his meridians? Stop dreaming. Draining Immortal King Pills indeed could not be randomly found, and similarly, an Immortal Reverent could not find out his cultivation level. A good while later, the middle aged man withdrew his spiritual will, sighing, "What a opportunity this man stumbled upon. It¡¯s a pity that he is a mortal and only has mortal spiritual roots." The proposal made by yan Yuerong about finding some martial arts techniques for Mo Wuji was simply a proposal. Even if she could find a top grade martial arts technique, how many people would successfully train with it? The path of martial arts was even tougher than that of immortal dao, and there were much stricter requirements for one¡¯s innate talent. At this point, he could only believe that Mo Wuji was an extremely lucky guy, to be able to pick up a Draining Immortal King Pill. After all, while the possibility of such an event occurring was very low, but it wasn¡¯t zero. Conversely, it was impossible for a mortal like Mo Wuji to obtain a unique grade Draining Immortal King Pill on his own. The middle aged man passed the jade bottle back to Xiao Xiaoyu, "It¡¯s your good fortune to have obtained this. After the immortal meeting tonight, I will stand guard for you while you prepare to undergo heavenly tribulation to advance to Immortal King. As for Yuerong, once she reaches the Great Circle of Grand Luo Immortal, she¡¯ll naturally have her own opportunity." "Roger, thank you Revered Leader." Xiao Xiaoyu quickly bowed respectfully to thank him. She had indeed desired to advance to Immortal King for a long time. Upon hearing this, Yan Yuerong happily walked over to Mo Wuji, thanking him, "Thank you Da Huang. Come with us tonight to take a look at the immortal sect meeting, who knows, you might pursue dao with martial arts in the future." After speaking, she pleadingly gazed at the middle aged man, "Grandpa, let me bring Da Huang to the immortal sect meeting please. Since he will be following me in the future, it¡¯ll be good for him to be exposed to more things." Perhaps it was because Mo Wuji had brought back a Draining Immortal King Pill, as the middle aged man agreed after sighing for a moment, "Sure. Because this meeting involves a Water Elemental Bead, no matter what you hear regarding the five elemental beads, just remember them and don¡¯t say to much." Actually, Mo Wuji really did not want to attend such a immortal sect meeting, and intended to leave after finding out that Yan Yuerong was fine. However, her great grandfather¡¯s last sentence made him stop in his tracks. Information about the five elemental beads was exactly what he was looking for too. ¡­ Wind Plains Immortal City was a small immortal city, and its largest location was the meeting hall in the castellan¡¯s estate. The issue of a Water Elemental Bead and multiple Primal Water Crystals appearing in the Lake of Poison caused a great commotion throughout the entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Who could bear having a mere Grand Zhi Immortal in possession of this treasure? Hence, even though it was a last minute immortal sect meeting, the number of experts from various sects that came was still rather large. Everyone only had one goal in mind: The Primal Water Crystals and Water Elemental Bead. Mo Wuji followed closely behind Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu. As a ¡®mortal¡¯ he did not want to be denied entry. Thankfully, no one checked if he was a mortal or not, hence it was rather easy for him to arrive at the meeting hall. At this moment, the castellan estate¡¯s meeting hall had transformed in to a posh event location, and Mo Wuji could even spot a few familiar faces in the crowd. Supreme Dao Sect¡¯s Qin Yihe, the master of Murong Xiangyu. As he did not see Murong Xiangyu, he didn¡¯t know whether she returned to Supreme Dao Sect after coming out from Broken World¡¯s Third Level. There was also One Sword Sect¡¯s Tu Bei, and expert in intermediate Immortal Reverent. Yan Yuerong¡¯s great grandfather''s cultivation level of Immortal Reverent did not seem outstanding amongst these people. Now Mo Wuji was observing Qin Yihe, as she had interacted with him while he was Yan Ye. Eventually he relied on Murong Xianyu to arrive at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, before using his own strength to reach the Broken World. In Broken World, he saved Murong Xiangyu and helped her to secure the seven pages of the Book of Luo. In the end, Murong Xiangyu gave him two pages as thanks, out of which one was with him, while the other was passed to Lin Gu to give to Cen Shuyin. Just at this moment, a wave of fragrance wafted from behind him. Since Mo Wuji had come with Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu, he was sure that it wasn¡¯t either of them behind him. Originally, he wanted to get out of the way quickly, but upon realising that he was just a mortal now, he decided to act as though he didn¡¯t know anything, continuing to observe the situation. "What is your name?" A familiar voice rang out. This gave him a rather great shock, and he quickly turned his head around. So it was really a familiar face, Ji Yue. Ji Yue was extremely beautiful the last time they met, and after all these years, she had become even more alluring. "Da Huang¡­" Mo Wuji stuttered. He did not understand why Ji Yue wanted to look for him. It would be near impossible for her to recognise that he was Yan Ye. "I don¡¯t know why, but I feel like I know you." Ji Yue smiled at Mo Wuji, "Anyway, you look like you have some backbone." At this point, cold sweat was dripping down Mo Wuji¡¯s back. This woman was simply too scary. His greatest worry was meeting such a person that relied heavily on his/her instincts. Not only was this woman¡¯s instincts frighteningly sharp, her way of doing things was brutal too. Her cultivation level had increased from advanced Xuan Immortal Stage to the current intermediate Grand Yi Immortal Stage, while she appeared to be rather well nourished. It seemed like she had escaped from becoming a sacrificial bride ofr the Ji Clan. "Da Huang, who is she?" Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu, who was bidding goodbye to Yuerong¡¯s great grandfather, returned and asked when they saw the ravishing Ji Yue. With a chuckle, Ji Yue replied, "I¡¯m just a passerby, I¡¯ll be leaving now." After speaking, she turned and left without any hesitation. Mo Wuji shook his head quizzically, "I don¡¯t know either, she just came to say that I have some backbone, and flashed that beautiful smile of hers at me. It looked like the kind of smile that the ladies in my village used to seduce men, so I¡¯m not sure if she was trying to seduce me¡­" "Pfft!" Even Xiao Xiaoyu, who usually did not laugh, was amused by Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Would a beautiful woman at Grand Yi Immortal Stage seduce a fisherman? Ji Yue almost fell over when she heard this a distance away. Just at this moment, a voice brought her out of embarrassment, "Fellow immortal friends, this immortal sect meeting was convened in a rush because things are rather urgent. Many immortal friends here today have greater reputations and cultivation levels than me, but because of the last minute nature of this immortal sect meeting, I, Wind Plains Immortal City¡¯s Castellan, will be hosting the event. Now may I invite all immortal friends to take a seat." The man who was speaking had a beard, and was at elementary Immortal Reverent Stage. One could not determine his age just by his appearance, as he appeared to be younger than Yan Yuerong¡¯s great grandfather. The trio of Yan Yuerong, Xiao Xiaoyu, and Mo Wuji sat down too. As their statuses were rather low, so their seats were quite far back. "Sister Xiaoyu, is this Wind Plains Immortal City¡¯s Castellan, Dong Shanglie?" Yan Yuerong asked softly. After quickly setting up a sound isolation restriction, Xiao Xiaoyu replied, "Little Miss, you can¡¯t speak freely here. No matter how quietly we speak, at our current cultivation levels, it will still be heard by others." Nodding her head, Yan Yuerong did not dare to ask any more questions. However, Mo Wuji already knew that Yan Yuerong¡¯s conversation was definitely heard by Dong Shanglie. It would be weird if an Immortal Reverent could not hear someone report his name at such a close distance. Thankfully, this guy wasn¡¯t some guy with an eccentric temperament, so he didn¡¯t care about low leveled immortals saying his name. "I won¡¯t beat around the bush. The main aim of this meeting is to discuss the Water Elemental Bead and 10 Primal Water Crystals from the Lake of Poison¡­" Although everyone knew that this was the reason for convening this meeting, there was still a large commotion after Dong Shanglie spoke. Slightly pausing for a moment, Dong Shanglie continued, "Based on eyewitness accounts, the cultivator that took away the Primal Water Crystals and Water Elemental Bead is a Grand Zhi Immortal with a scar on his face." After speaking, Dong Shanglie waved his hand, and the image of Mo Wuji disappeared, "This person could not only protect himself from the poisonous waters of the lake, but also had means of teleportation. Hence his appearance had probably been altered." "Castellan Dong, this person left once he came out of the lake. How do you know that he obtained 10 Primal Water Crystals and a Water Elemental Bead?" A tall advanced Immortal Reverent expert suddenly questioned. Bowing respectfully, Dong Shanglie replied, "Immortal Friend Huang¡¯s question makes sense. After that person left, there were others that entered the Lake of Poison immediately, and found the house that he took the Primal Water Crystals and Water Elemental Bead away from. Although everything was taken from the house, but a jade slip was left behind. "So where is this cultivator that took the jade slip?" The tall Immortal Reverent asked. Depressingly, Dong Shanglie said, "He was severely poisoned, and we¡¯re not sure if he¡¯ll last through the night." Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. He was sure that there was no jade slip in the house beneath the lake. So as for the cultivator that was poisoned after entering the lake, he was extremely sure that that person had been possessed. This meant that the expert from the lake had come out. Luckily he had the Undying World, otherwise, who knew if that guy could sense the aura of the Water Elemental Bead. ... Chapter 682: The Scheming Woman Chapter 682: The Scheming Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The reason why this meeting has been held is because that person might be able to disguise his face, but he wouldn''t be able to conceal his cultivation aura. At this point, we need to thank Immortal Friend Leng Yulin. She was the one who provided us with that cultivator''s cultivation aura¡­" As Dong Shanglie got to this point, he raised his hand and a crystal ball floated in front of him, "This crystal ball contains the cultivation aura of that cultivator named Fan Lin. Everyone, there''s no need to take note of his name; it is very likely to be false. However, no matter how he tries to disguise himself, his aura would never change. Now, everyone please send your spiritual will into this crystal ball and duplicate a portion of the cultivation aura. I believe that if this person''s cultivation aura is revealed, he wouldn''t be able to escape our Yong Ying Immortal Domain no matter how hard he tries to flee." Everyone in the hall knew that Dong Shanglie''s words were right: even if a cultivator was able to disguise himself, he wouldn''t be able to change his aura. This was unless he possessed a Grade 7 or above disguising equipment, or if he used a Tier 8 Dry Wimple Pill. However, the total number of Dry Wimple Pills in the entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain probably wouldn''t even exceed the number of fingers on a single hand. How could a Grand Zhi Immortal possess such a treasure? As for a disguising equipment that was Grade 7 or above, its value was even higher than a Dry Wimple Pill. Mo Wuji really wanted to use his spiritual will to probe this Dong Shanglie; he wanted to see whether this person was being controlled. He suspected that all this was contrived by that discarnate soul that lived in the Lake of Poison. Its motive was to use this net method to locate his whereabouts. Fortunately, Mo Wuji forcefully suppressed his impulse. The Water Elemental Bead and the primal water crystals were all on him; so there was no need for him to be so curious. Moreover, when he was with Leng Yulin, his aura had been fabricated. He had mortal roots, which meant that he didn''t have any sort of spiritual aura. Even if Dong Shanglie was possessed by that soul, he wouldn''t be able to identify Mo Wuji even if Mo Wuji was standing right in front of him. After waiting for everyone to duplicate the cultivation aura from within the crystal ball, Dong Shanglie continued, "Everyone should know what kind of treasure the Water Elemental Bead is. It is one of the five elemental beads, and its value far exceeds the primal water crystal. If the five elemental beads are gathered, it can create a world. As long as one had the fortune and the treasures, this world could even become a primordial world. Thus, during this meeting, there''s another matter we will discuss about, besides the matter of the Water Elemental Bead. It pertains to another of the five elemental beads - the Wood Elemental Bead." When he heard the Wood Elemental Bead, Mo Wuji''s heart started to pound. He was still lacking the Fire Elemental Bead and the Wood Elemental Bead. He never thought that his luck would be so good, that he would actually be able to receive news of a Wood Elemental Bead here. It wasn''t just Mo Wuji; all the cultivators here began to look at Dong Shanglie in anticipation, hoping that Dong Shanglie would reveal the whereabouts of the Wood Elemental Bead. Among the five elemental beads, the most valuable one was clearly the Wood Elemental Bead. It didn''t matter what elemental type your spiritual roots were. As long as you possessed a Wood Elemental Bead, your future would undoubtedly become bright. Simply burying the Wood Elemental Bead in a immortal herb garden and the garden would start to flourish. Immortal herbs that might not be able to grow in others¡¯ gardens might be able to survive in yours. Dong Shanglie waved his hand and a map¡­ it should be a portion of a map, appeared in mid air. This map was extremely clear, and at the bottom portion of the map, there was a Wood Elemental Bead. When Mo Wuji saw this map, his heart skipped a beat. He had an ominous feeling. Because this map was the same as his. Before Yan Ye died, Yan Ye gave him this map in exchange for a dying wish. Even though he didn''t agree to marry Ji Yue, Mo Wuji did help Yan Ye pass his storage ring to his sister Yan Yi. This map was clearly in his Undying World. How did it end up here? The only possibility was that before Yan Ye passed the map to him, someone had made a replica of the map. He had previously made enquiries about this before; no one had heard about the scenes on the map. This was why he gradually calmed his heart. He didn''t expect that he wasn''t the only one that possessed this map. "This map doesn''t seem complete¡­" Someone immediately pointed out. Dong Shanglie nodded, "That''s right, this map is indeed incomplete. However, the other portion is with me. Because I don''t know where this map is depicting, it is very hard to find. If anyone has any impression of what''s being depicted on the map, I am willing to cooperate." The people in the hall tacitly duplicated this half of the map. Everyone knew that the matter of the cooperation wasn¡¯t going to be raised here. They would have to wait for this meeting to end before they approached Dong Shanglie. Everyone also understood Dong Shanglie''s intentions; that was to spread news of this half of the map, and anyone who had any clues could approach him. Dong Shanglie kept the map and said, "Even though this meeting is called an immortal sect meeting, it was organised very hurriedly. Besides finding the Water Elemental Bead and the Wood Elemental Bead, anyone that has news of the remaining elemental beads can seek me out to cooperate. Of course, I would also like to talk about a secondary matter. Recently, I have accepted a disciple¡­" As he said that, Dong Shanglie waved his hand, "Yue¡¯Er, come out." Ji Yue bashfully walked out and stood by Dong Shanglie''s side. Dong Shanglie chuckled, "This is Ji Yue. Her talent is not bad. Because I spend most of my time in seclusion, and I also need to occasionally handle the affairs of Wind Plains Immortal City, I don''t have that much time to take care of this disciple of mine. I hope to borrow this opportunity to find her a dependable dao companion with similar interests¡­" The moment Dong Shanglie stopped talking, there were already waves of discussion below. Ji Yue''s beauty was higher than the number one beauty if several sects. Moreover, she was already a Grand Yi Immortal at such a young age. She was definitely a great option for a dao companion. What''s more, her master was Wind Plain''s Dong Shanglie, an Immortal Reverent expert. Mo Wuji immediately understood that Dong Shanglie''s map must have been from Ji Yue and Ji Yue should have gotten the map from Yan Ye. Yan Ye listened to Ji Yue religiously. He would have even dug his heart out for her. It did not seem unexpected that he gave a portion of the map to Ji Yue. This woman is really impressive. She managed to escape from the Ji Clan through some unknown means. Now, she probably knew that the map to the Wood Elemental Bead wasn''t of much use to her; so she gifted it to Dong Shanglie and used this opportunity to take Dong Shanglie as her master. Not only that, she even made use of her master''s, Dong Shanglie''s, mouth to spread news of her, allowing her to find a talented and powerful dao companion. A woman that seemed to be able to make use of everything was the most terrifying. Now, even an Immortal Reverent was being used by her. Her shy and bashful appearance should probably be one of her schemes. "This sister is really pretty," Yan Yuerong, who was by Mo Wuji''s side, could not help but praise. She was speaking the truth. Ji Yue seemed to be lowering her head shyly, but this seemed to eccentuate her beauty. A usual oval face would give a snobbish impression, but Ji Yue¡¯s oval face had some sort of unspoken beauty. It felt like she was shrouded in mist. Many immortals have already started jumping in their spots. If Dong Shanglie wasn¡¯t going to talk about the method to ask for Ji Yue¡¯s hand, then one of these people might already step forward. "This meeting will come to an end. The reason why we are in such a hurry is because we cannot delay for too long. That Fan Lin''s speed is really fast. Before he leaves Yong Ying Immortal Domain, we need to spread his cultivation aura around. No matter what, we cannot allow Fan Lin to escape. At the same time, we will not delay the geniuses from heading towards Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." When Dong Shanglie announced the conclusion of the meeting, many people were disappointed as he didn''t pick a dao companion for Ji Yue here. It was exactly as he said, this meeting had started hastily, and it ended hastily. His final sentence of not delaying everyone''s opportunity to go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins also left many in confusion. The immortals within the hall stood up. In reality, few of them actually had the mood to continue staying here. The news regarding the Wood Elemental Bead was secondary. What''s important now are the Water Elemental Bead and the ten primal water crystals. Just obtaining any one of those treasures would propel them to unimaginable heights. Moreover, the one who took these treasures away was merely a Grand Zhi Immortal. Who wouldn''t be tempted? "Fairy Ji Yue, I am Sea Canopy Immortal City''s Zuo Yixian. I wonder if fairy is willing to show me some face to follow me and have a seat at Fixed Plains Resthouse?" A warm voice called out not far from Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji lifted his head, he saw the medium built Zuo Yixian and he found it pretty laughable. Zuo Yixian was Sea Canopy Immortal City''s young castellan; his father was the castellan. This fella''s character was not bad: he was warm and cordial, and he wasn''t proud nor hot tempered. Mo Wuji was actually appreciated him. Not only that, Zuo Yixian was even a Seven Star Genius. The only unfortunate thing was that this fella''s appearance was average. He was in no way handsome. Mo Wuji didn''t expect that this fella would actually have his eyes on Ji Yue. "Ji Yue naturally wouldn''t reject Senior Brother Zuo¡¯s invitation¡­" Ji Yue blushed and said in a soft voice, "It''s just that, just that¡­" She stammered and mumbled for a long time, but she didn''t say anything concrete. Mo Wuji was sure that this woman knew of Zuo Yixian''s origins. Otherwise, she would directly reject him. Why would she go through such antics? "Fairy Ji Yue doesn''t need to be worried. I''m only inviting you to drink some tea and take a look at the scenery around Wind Plains. That''s all." Zuo Yixian clearly didn''t know how to court girls; his words were so crude. Unexpectedly, Ji Yue lowered her head and responded with an ''En¡¯. Zuo Yixian rejoiced, "Then Fairy Ji Yue, there¡¯s no better time than the present. Why don''t we go to Fixed Plains Resthouse now? Anyways, searching for the Water Elemental Bead and the primal water crystals is not something achievable by people like us." "En¡­" Ji Yue responded once more, only at a softer volume. Mo Wuji shook his head speechlessly. He really wanted to advise Zuo Yixian to not get involved with such a woman. However, there were too many experts here; he was worried that he might accidentally cause trouble for himself. "Senior Brother Zuo, I heard that you''ve gone to the Broken World''s Broken Ruins?" Ji Yue suddenly asked. Zuo Yixian jolted, but he promptly nodded, "Yes, I have been to the Broken Ruins before." "Then do you know about Yan Ye? I heard that he had also gone to the Broken Ruins¡­" Ji Yue asked in a slightly anxious tone. Mo Wuji''s heart pounded. Why was this woman still asking about him? He specially slowed down his footsteps in an attempt to listen in to what this woman was going to say. Chapter 683: Startling And Grievous News Chapter 683: Startling And Grievous News Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Zuo Yixian jolted, and he subconsciously nodded, "I know of him." "Did he change his name to Mo Wuji?" Ji Yue asked urgently. "Yes. I heard that he isn''t even Yan Ye. He had always been Mo Wuji," Zuo Yixian said awkwardly. How could he not know of Mo Wuji? This was the fella that shocked many huge sects of the seven great Immortal Domains. He had been investigated on multiple times; this fella ascended from Yong Ying Immortal Domain and he took the name of Yan Ye. With Yan Ye''s name, he headed towards Sharphorn Immortal Ruins where he became a Honored Grade Tier 4 Pill King. Not only that, Mo Wuji suppressed many Eight and Nine Star Geniuses in the Broken World, and had become the pride of Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, this fella¡¯s sharpness couldn''t be concealed. After he became a Honored Grade Pill King, he obtained the top few placings in the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition, and he offended several experts as a result. If it was simply that, then things would have been fine. After all, Mo Wuji was a Honored Grade Pill King of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. However, Mo Wuji actually did more terrifying things. He killed people from the Lightning Sect, Great Sword Path, and the Vast Ocean Immortal School, causing him to be wanted throughout the entire Immortal World. According to what he heard, Mo Wuji stole the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp and even got his companion to exterminate the dragon race¡­ To be honest, any one of these things was enough to leave his heart palpitating in shock. He truly didn''t believe that Mo Wuji was able to commit so many atrocities. It didn''t matter whether he believed it or not. After all, many big sects had joined forces to arrest Mo Wuji. If they even went to such lengths, would such matters still be false? "So that''s the case¡­" Ji Yue seemed to speak through gritted teeth. She was thinking why Yan Ye, who she had bit so tightly on, would suddenly have the guts to ignore her. It turns out he was a total different person. She actually wasn''t even able to see through that fella''s disguise. What impressive disguising skills¡­ Eh, that''s not right¡­ When Ji Yue thought of this, she suddenly turned. She was looking for Mo Wuji. Previously, when she first laid eyes on Mo Wuji, a peculiar emotion rose on her heart. It felt like she had met an ordinary mortal with no hints of spirituality. Thereafter, she seemed to feel that again. If this went on, she would have completely lose track of that feeling in two to four hours. As she thought of this, she was really impressed with that fella¡¯s skills of disguise. "Fairy Ji Yue, do you know that the Very High Heavens will be organising a genius disciple selection in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins?" Seemingly noticing that Ji Yue''s focus seemed to be all over the place, Zuo Yixian hurriedly changed the topic. Ji Yue casually nodded, "I heard of it, but I''m not too clear about it." Zuo Yixian immediately said, "Previously, after the Gods Tower closes, the Very High Heavens¡¯ venerable envoy accepted several peak geniuses to the Very High Heavens for nurturing. It''s said that the Very High Heavens¡¯ Dao Emperor is approaching the limits of the Immortal Dao, and would be entering a new stage. Before the new Dao Emperor takes over, he wants to nurture more talents for the Very High Heavens. Moreover, the conditions of this selection are different from before; this time, as long as your talent is Four Stars or above, you would have the chance to enter the Very High Heavens¡­" "Really?" Ji Yue was finally interested by Zuo Yixian''s words. She had always been trying to bite onto a golden tortoise dao companion. Even though her master had told her that the Very High Heavens would be accepting disciples, she didn''t put it to her. After all, her talents were limited. Now that she heard that she was qualified, she would naturally be excited. Zuo Yixian pat his chest and said, "Of course it''s true. Everyone heading towards Sharphorn Immortal Ruins are the young and stellar geniuses of our Immortal World. Junior Sister Ji Yue is able to achieve the Grand Yi Immortal Stage at such a young age; your chances of being selected is very high. If junior sister is interested in trying, we can go together." "Alright, let''s go together," Ji Yue did not hesitate to say. Unfortunately for Zuo Yixian, his actions had harmed himself. Unbeknownst to him, Ji Yue had previously treated him as a reserve of a reserve. But after knowing that the Very High Heavens was even providing Four Star Geniuses with the chance of being selected, Ji Yue had completedly kicked Zuo Yixian out of the game. ¡­ The moment he left the castellan''s estate, Mo Wuji thought of leaving. He had only came here to help out. Now that he had already done that, he was naturally going to leave. Before Mo Wuji could even say anything, that great grandfather of Yue Yanrong walked over, "Xiaoyu, immediately bring Rong¡¯Er to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins with Yu Qian." "Great grandfather, is something the matter?" Yan Yuerong urgently asked. "Immortal Friend Yan Tian, why are you so anxious to leave? If there''s something, we can take our time to discuss." Suddenly, a voice cried out before Yue Yanrong''s grandfather could reply her. The voice belonged to a clean-shaven fella with a relatively short figure and a flushed red face. His cultivation was actually higher than Yan Yuerong¡¯s great grandfather; it should be in the late Immortal Reverent Stage. Yan Tian¡¯s face sunk, "Immortal Friend Jin Ze, I''ve said it before. That primal water crystal wasn''t taken by my family''s Rong¡¯Er. Even if you continue to look for me, I am unable to take one out for you." Mo Wuji soon came to an understanding: from the looks of it, many still believe that Yan Yuerong was the one that took the primal water crystal. That red-faced Immortal Reverent called Jin Ze chuckled and said nonchalantly,"I will still say what I''ve always said: if immortal friend is done contemplating, you can always find me, Ao Jinze. I will add on a horn of a Class 9 Uni-Horn Tiger." Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked; this fella was really rich. A Class 9 Uni-Horn Tiger¡¯s most valuable part was it''s horn. Even Xu Suren wouldn''t necessarily have such a peak grade smithing equipment, but this Ao Jinze actually had it. It was unknown exactly where this fella came from. "Rong¡¯Er, let''s go." Yan Tian couldn''t even be bothered to entertain this Ao Jinze as he turned to leave. Ao Jinze snickered but he didn''t follow them over. "Great grandfather, why was that person so unreasonable?" After leaving the castellan estate, Yan Yuerong finally said unhappily. Yan Tian sighed, "Unreasonable? Perhaps in his eyes, he is already being very reasonable. This person is an expert from Surging Dragon Golden River. We are currently at Wind Plains Immortal City and my cultivation is not much lower than his. If we weren''t here, he probably wouldn''t have behaved so warmly; I suspect that he would directly try to lay his hands on us. Rong''Er, I previously intended for Caretaker Yu Qian to bring you and Xiaoyu over to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. From the looks of it, I will have to make the trip myself. With such a fella laying his eyes on you, I will not be able to rest assured." "What are we going to do in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins?" Yan Yuerong asked. "I heard that the Very High Heavens are accepting some genius disciples. Their selection conditions are very broad, you only need a talent of Four Stars or above to qualify for the selection. I hope that you would be able to enter the Very High Heavens. Cultivating in the Very High Heavens is more than a hundred times better than in Yong Ying Immortal Domain." Yan Tian''s voice was very low; he was clearly still thinking of something. "Why must I go to the Very High Heavens? Isn''t it fine for me to cultivate with great grandfather?" Yan Yuerong was still very confused. This time, Yan Tian wasn''t the one speaking. Instead, Xiao Xiaoyu explained by the side, "Little Miss, whether it is in terms of cultivation resources of heavenly laws, the Very High Heavens is vastly superior to the Immortal World. I heard that the Very High Heavens is a perfect world. It''s different from the Immortal World which had been disintegrated before. Cultivating there would be much more efficient." Yan Tian added, "If you want to stand upon higher peaks, then you must go to the Very High Heavens. Otherwise, with your talent, my level is already the maximum that you could go." As he got here, Yan Tian paused briefly before continuing, "After I bring you to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, I''m going to leave for a trip. Rong''Er, there''s one thing that I need to forewarn Xiaoyu you. This time, the people from the Very High Heavens should also have come to try and forcefully open the fourth level of the Broken World. Remember my words: No matter what, you guys must not enter the Broken World. Do you understand me?" The Broken World''s fourth level was about to be open? Mo Wuji''s heart started to beat eagerly. Previously when the third level opened, he managed to obtain many fortunes from within. His Draining Immortal King Dao Fruits and his Metal Elemental Bead were from the third level. Not only that, the Book of Luo that had saved him umpteenth times was also from the third level. Actually, what Mo Wuji cared about the most was actually the Broken Ruins within the third level. In the Broken Ruins, there was a Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Regardless of whether the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was genuine, it was definitely a peerless treasure. He must go to the fourth level of the Broken World. The resources in the Immortal World had always been sparse. It could be said that the majority of the peak treasures in the Immortal World had been concentrated in the Broken World. If he missed this opportunity, it would be too late for regrets. From the looks of it, the matter of farewells wasn''t as urgent anymore. When the time comes, he could just send another message, telling Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian that there was no need to wait for him. He had left then with a storage ring. Within the ring, there were definitely more than enough fasting pills for the two of them. "Great grandfather, I heard that there are many treasures in the Broken World. Those years ago, that Mo Wuji actually obtained the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit and the seven pages of the Book of Luo from the Broken World. Why don''t you want me to go?" Yan Yuerong asked in confusion. Yan Tian knew that his precious great granddaughter had always been living in his shelter, and was completely ignorant of the evils and complexities of the outside world. "Rong¡¯Er, not everyone is like Mo Wuji. In a few years since he ascended into the Immortal World, he became a Honored Grade Pill King. In another few years, he became a Honored Grade Pill Emperor. His enemies are the huge juggernauts like the Lightning Sect and the Great Sword Path. There''s no need to talk about you, even your great grandfather, me, doesn''t have that capability. You want to compare yourself with such a person?" "Great grandfather, if you met him, wouldn''t you be able to kill him?" Yan Yuerong was still doubtful. Yan Tian laughed self-deprecatingly, "Even in the encirclement of several Grand Immortal Emperors, he was still able to escape. How could a mere Immortal Reverent be able to kill him? To put things in another perspective, if I met him, I would choose to befriend him than to kill him." "Why? Didn''t they say that this person is vicious and evil? Didn''t he killed the master disciple pair from Meditation Nunnery, snatched the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, killed his benefactor, and even got his companion to exterminate the dragon race?" Yan Yuerong frowned. Yan Tian shook his head, "You will understand in the future. If you actually encounter that Mo Wuji in the future, you can only try to befriend him. Do not have any other intentions. As for the rumors that are being spread, it''s enough got you to listen to them, there''s no need to treat them as the truth." How could Yan Tian, this old demon that had lived for countless of years, not see through the truth behind this matter? These rumors and conspiracies were just methods used to leave that Mo Wuji with no place to run or hide. At the end of the day, these huge sects were simply eyeing the treasures on Mo Wuji. "In fact, if you''re talking about despicability, that Great Sword Path is far more despicable. When they weren''t able to catch Mo Wuji, they actually caught a girl that was merely in the Golden Immortal Stage and subjected her to hundreds of different tortures. They are simply shameless trash." Xiao Xiaoyu, who was by the side, suddenly interjected. When Mo Wuji heard these words, his brain started to buzz. A wave of rage surged up into his mind. Chapter 684: Great Sword Path’s Sword Prison Chapter 684: Great Sword Path¡¯s Sword Prison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Da Huang, is something the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Coincidentally, Yan Yuerong turned to face Mo Wuji at this moment, and she saw his enraged expression. She immediately asked curiously. Mo Wuji exhaled deeply and shook his head, "After hearing you speak about that Mo Wuji, I got enraged." Yan Yuerong hurriedly said, "Da Huang, you are a mortal; so don¡¯t think too much about such matters. Moreover, my great grandfather has always said that Mo Wuji was very likely to have been maligned." "Rong¡¯Er, don¡¯t casually discuss about such matters. You guys head back to our rooms and wait for me. I still have some matters to tend to." Yan Tian stood outside of Fixed Plains Resthouse and waited for Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu to enter. Then, he hurriedly left. After Yan Tian left and as the trio were heading back to their rooms, Mo Wuji asked, "Little sister, just now, you said that Great Sword Path had captured a Golden Immortal girl. What¡¯s the matter with that? From the sounds of it, that Great Sword Path sounds like a very huge sect. On the other hand, I heard that Golden Immortals are immortals that have only just entered the Immortal World. Why would such a big sect want to capture a girl that had just entered the Immortal World?" Yan Yuerong covered her lips as she chuckled, "Da Huang, why did you call Senior Sister Xiaoyu your little sister?" Xiao Xiaoyu, however, did not mind that address. Mo Wuji had given a Draining Immortal King Pill to her. She wouldn¡¯t mind even if she had to acknowledge this mortal as a bigger brother. Because she was filled with gratitude towards Mo Wuji, she didn¡¯t really mind Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Instead, she answered seriously, "That Mo Wuji killed people from the Great Sword Path, and he challenged the Great Sword Path¡¯s dignity. With some great difficulty, the Great Sword Path managed to trap him in a place called Da Yi Immortal City. However, their plan was foiled by a girl called Han Qingru. It¡¯s rumored that Han Qingru and Mo Wuji know each other, which was why she took the deadly risk to warn Mo Wuji, all so that he could escape Da Yi Immortal City." The skin on Mo Wuji¡¯s palm had already been pierced through by his finger nails. He was truly too naive. He actually tricked himself into believing that those Grand Emperors wouldn¡¯t think of Han Qingru¡¯s actual motive, and that Han Qingru would be able to escape. What¡¯s the difference between him and an ostritch hiding its head in the sand? If anything happened to Han Qingru, how was he going to forgive himself? "That Han Qingru is so loyal and true!" Yan Yuerong sighed in praise. "Why didn¡¯t the Great Sword path kill her?" Mo Wuji forcefully swallowed the fury in his heart, and tried to maintain a calm tone. Xiao Xiaoyu glanced at Mo Wuji quizically. She felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s reaction seemed to be overly emotional. However, she still asnwered, "The Great Sword Path has locked Han Qingru up in their Sword Prison. The Sword Prison is Great Sword Path¡¯s most terrifying prison. Anyone imprisoned there would constantly feel the pain of their heart being stabbed and their souls being sliced. They will continuously agonise in torture, but be unable to die¡­ Da Huang, what¡¯s wrong with you¡­" Xiao Xiaoyu noticed that there was indeed something amiss with Mo Wuji; at this instant, not only were both of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes red, they even seeemd to be tearing. Yan Yuerong also rubbed her eyes, "Don¡¯t blame Da Huang. Even my heart aches when I heard that story. That Sister Qingru is so loyal, but she was actually tortured by the Great Sword Path so cruelly." As cultivators, the three of them knew all too clearly how painful it was to have one¡¯s soul ripped and sliced by sword qi. There was no need to talk about how Han Qingru was continuously being subjected to that sword qi. Just a slightly damage to a soul was already enough to cause a person to die from the pain. No matter how Mo Wuji trained his physique, he would only be training his fleshly body and not his soul. Xiao Xiaoyu was much more experienced that Yan Yuerong; she still felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s emotions were different from Yan Yuerong¡¯s. Even if Mo Wuji pitied Han Qingru, he shouldn¡¯t have gotten so agitated. Mo Wuji took a deep breath and struggled to calm himself down. "I have a bigger sister who¡¯s also called Qingru. If not for Qingru, I would have long been dead. So when I heard about the suffering of that Han Qingru, I was reminded of what happened in the past and I felt a little upset." So that¡¯s the case. Both Xiao Xiaoyu and Yan Yuerong could sympathise with Mo Wuji¡¯s feelings. "Ai, I don¡¯t know whether that Mo Wuji would go to save Han Qingru. She¡¯s truly too pitiable," Yan Yuerong sighed. "He probably wouldn¡¯t. The Great Sword Path is one of the number one immortal schools in the entire Immortal World. Moreover, the Great Sword Path¡¯s sect head, Yi Minghu, was the one that imprisoned Han Qingru. This person is a Grand Emperor with profound strength. In our entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain, we probably wouldn¡¯t be able to find a person that could atch him evenly." Xiao Xiaoyu shook her head. "Senior Sister Xiaoyu, since he is a Grand Emperor from the Great Sword Path, why would he let that Mo Wuji escape? Could a Grand Emperor be unable to catch one Mo Wuji? How powerful is that Mo Wuji? Could it be that he¡¯s also a Grand Emperor?" Yan Yuerong asked curiously. "No, it¡¯s said that Mo Wuji is only a Grand Yi Immortal. When Mo Wuji was being surrounded, Yi Minghu wasn¡¯t the only grand Emperor there. Besides him, there was Lightning Sect¡¯s number one expert, Lei Guyun, as well as Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Elder Jin Yusheng. There was even the Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Quasi-Emperor Guang Xing. Mo Wuji escaped while being surrounded by these four people." When she heard Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s words, Yan Yuerong exhaled a breath of cold air. After some time, she muttered, "How impressive." It was unknown whether she was talking about Mo Wuji, or the people that surrounded him. The three went silent. After some time, Yan Yuerong seemed to recall something and she suddenly said, "Senior Sister Xiaoyu, do you think that the Great Sword Path¡¯s sect head would go for the opening Broken World¡¯s fourth level?" Xiao Xiaoyu nodded, "He should be. There were already far too many precious treasures in the third level. Even the Book of Luo appeared. I guess it¡¯s because of the treasures in the third level were so shocking, which galvanised the people from the Very High Heavens to attempt to forcefully open the fourth level. Even a Grand Emperor wouldn¡¯t want to miss such an opportunity." "Do you think that Mo Wuji would take that opportunity to head to the Great Sword Path¡¯s Sword Prison to save his friend?" Yue Yanrong seemed to be pleasantly surprised at this ¡®good¡¯ idea of hers. Xiao Xiaoyu looked at Yan Yuerong speechlessly, "Little miss, do you think that the Great Sword Path¡¯s sect head wouldn¡¯t have considered that? Even if he wasn¡¯t present in the Great Sword Path, the Sword Prison would still be protected with dense defences." "Little sister, exactly what kind of place is that Sword Prison?" Mo Wuji suddenly interjected. Xiao Xiaoyu turned serious, "It¡¯s rumoured that it is a dmain. Within that domain, there would constantly be boundless sword qi running rampant. Everyone caught and thrown into the Sword Prison would be protected by the Great Sword Path¡¯s sword talisman¡­" "Senior Sister Xiaoyu? Since the Great Sword Path has caught those people and thrown them to prison, why are they still protecting these prisoners with their sword talisman?" Yan Yuerong was still confused. Xiao Xiaoyu sighed, "Do you think that the Great Sword Path would simply let their prisoners die? That sword talisman isn¡¯t really protecting them. It allows the sword qi to continuously ravage the prisoners¡¯ flesh and soul, but it prevents them from dying. This sword talisman also has different grades. The lowest grade one would allow a person to die after 49 days of torture. On the other hand, the highest grade one would only allow a person to die after being continuously tortured for 9,999 years. Think about it, as sword qi tears your soul inch by inch, and slices off your flesh bit by bit, you wouldn¡¯t be thirsting for survival, but death¡­" "How cruel¡­" Yan Yuerong shivered. "So the Great Sword Path¡¯s Sword Prison is the most terrifying prison in the entire Immortal World. There is no doubt about that," Xiao Xiaoyu said indifferently. The more he heard her words, the more anxious and enraged he got. Mo Wuji forcefully maintained his calm, "Little sister, then can the people locked in the Sword Prison be taken out?" "Once they enter the Sword Prison, it would be akin to losing their lives. There is no way out. No one that was locked in the Sword Prison has ever come out," Xiao Xiaoyu answered. "Then the people from the Great Sword Path aren¡¯t worried that someone might escape from Sword Prison?" Mo Wuji stabilised himself. Xiao Xiaoyu glanced at Mo Wuji speechlessly, "I¡¯ve said it before. The Sword Prison is hell itself. As long as you enter, you can only wait for death. There is no exception. So after you enter Sword Prison, no one would even care about you because you are already a dead man." "Xiaoyu, I really have to thank you this time. If you hadn¡¯t helped to lure those fellas away, these old bones of mine wouldn¡¯t have been able to endure till Lord Reverent arrived." As they were speaking Yu Qian walked in. "Uncle Qian, your injuries have healed?" Xiao Xiaoyu was rather elated. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t bear waiting any further. He interupted, "Little Sister Rong¡¯Er, Little Sister Xiaoyu, Uncle Qian, I will be leaving now. You guys take care of yourselves." "Ah¡­" Yan Yuerong stared at Mo Wuji in shock, "Da Huang, where¡¯s a mortal like you going to go? Didn¡¯t you say that you would follow us?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "I have always intended to go on a trip by myself. You are all immortals, I would only be a burden by following you. That would also lose the meaning behind my trip." "No no no," Yan Yuerong shook her head like a rattle. "A mortal like you would only get yourself killed by running around by yourself." When Yu Qian heard the way Mo Wuji called his little miss and Xiao Xiaoyu, he was inwardly shocked. However, the little miss and Xiao Xiaoyu did not seem to find it out of the ordinary; so he didn¡¯t say a word. Mo Wuji said calmly, "The Extreme Glade Sea is where I should go. I intend to establish my own territory in the Extreme Glade Sea. If you are willing, you could visit me at the Extreme Glade Sea in the future. I will leave now." As he finished speaking, Mo Wuji turned to leave. He did not hesitate a single moment. It didn¡¯t matter how many precious treasures there were in the fourth level of the Broken World; they wouldn¡¯t obstruct him from saving Qingru. Yan Yuerong wanted to pull Mo Wuji back, but she was stopped by Xiao Xiaoyu, "Little Miss, everyone has their own dreams and ideals. Perhaps we might really be able to see Da Huang if we go to the Extreme Glade Sea in the future. Why don¡¯t you let him go for his own journey? This might make him happier." "But¡­" After muttering that single word, Yan Yuerong still placed her hand down. Then, she walked to the door to see Mo Wuji¡¯s gradually disappearing figure. "Da Huang, you take care of yourself too." When Mo Wuji¡¯s figure finally disappeared, Yan Yuerong mumbled to herself. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji left Wind Plains Immortal City, he took out his flying treasure and headed to Yuan Yan Immortal City with the fastest speed possible. There was a transfer array to Luo Ling Immortal Domain at Yuan Yan Immortal City. When he got wind of the news that Han Qingru had been imprisoned in Great Sword Path¡¯s Sword Prison, he could not wait to just charge to Great Sword Path¡¯s door. It didn¡¯t matter whether Yi Minghu had intentionally caught Han Qingru as bait. It didn¡¯t matter whether Yi Minghu was at Great Sword Path itself. It didn¡¯t matter whether it was all a trap. Mo Wuji did not hesitate; he was going straight to Great Sword Path. He would rather himself be the one to have his soul tortured instead of Han Qingru. Chapter 685: The Great Dao Is Not Absolute; A Thread Of Life Chapter 685: The Great Dao Is Not Absolute; A Thread Of Life Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Great Sword Path. This was one of the peak sects in Luo Ling Immortal Domain. Perhaps among the peak sects, the Great Sword Path might not be have the greatest number of Immortal Emperor level experts. However, it was definitely among the top in Luo Ling Immortal Domain when it came to combat power. The Great Sword Path''s sword cultivation had always been allowing its disciples to be superior when compared to other immortals at the same cultivation level. This wasn''t just in Luo Ling Immortal Domain. In fact, very few in the Immortal World don''t know of the Great Sword Path''s name. It was the peerless when it came to the Sword Dao, and it was the holyland for immortals that seek the Sword Dao. There were three particularly reputable places in the Great Sword Path. The first was the Great Sword Mountain. The Great Sword Mountain wasn''t simply a mountain; it was also the Great Sword Path''s symbol. The reason why it got its name was because this mountain came down from the sky and penetrated into the ground, just like a treasured sword. This huge sword mountain contained boundless sword intent. This sword intent continuously increased in intensity and majesty. The higher one climbed out the mountain, the more profound the sword intent. Every disciple of the Great Sword Path could come here and seek enlightenment on sword intent. After entering the Great Sword Path, the greatest indicator of your potential was this climb of enlightenment on the Great Sword Mountain. The second place was the Sword Prison. Even though the Sword Prison wasn''t a man-made prison, it was far more terrifying and horrifying than any man-made prison could be. This was because there would still be some hopes of surviving within other prisons. However, death was the only outcome for those that entered Sword Prison. There had never been any stories or examples of anyone that survived after entering the Great Sword Path''s Sword Prison. The sword qi in the Sword Prison was sharp and incisive; it was especially potent to the soul. Even if it was an Immortal Emperor that entered, he would die undoubtedly. The only difference was that he would last for a longer time within the prison. The third place was called Sword Exchange Valley. Actually, Sword Exchange Valley was the place which was supposed to guard the entrance of Sword Prison. Thereafter, it was found that there was no need for any guards. No matter how impressive an immortal was, he would not survive the moment he entered Sword Prison. Thus, this place gradually transformed into a site of transaction, and there was only one medium of transaction: Sword Qi Bone Flower. Sword Qi Bone Flower was only the size of a finger. It looked just like an unbloomed flower, and it could only grow at Sword Exchange Valley. This bone flower could be used against enemies. During battles, it could be used as a hidden weapon and thrown towards the enemy. Once it was thrown, the bone flower would transform into sword qi and assault the opponent. Not only that, this bone flower could also be used to gain insights on sword intent. It was exactly because of this that the Sword Qi Bone Flower was very popular. It could only form in one place, that was the entrance of Sword Prison. On both sides of Sword Prison, there would be some slight holes and gaps. The Sword Qi Bone Flower grows out from such gaps. After some time, this place came to be called Sword Exchange Valley. It was the place of exchange and transaction for Sword Qi Bone Flowers. The time it takes a Sword Qi Bone Flower to form wasn''t fixed; it could range from a year to even centuries. The longer the Sword Qi Bone Flower, the more powerful it becomes, and the sword intent concealed within would also become more profound. Thus, the value of a Sword Qi Bone Flower was also based on its forming time. In the Great Sword Path''s Sword Exchange Valley, there was an extremely harsh rule. No matter who you are, you couldn''t get within 30 meters of where the Sword Qi Bone Flower was grown. As long as you were within those 30 meters, it didn''t matter what your intent was, you would be thrown straight into Sword Prison. Almost all cultivators that came to Sword Exchange Valley knew of this rule. Cultivators that came here would consciously transact for the Sword Qi Bone Flower, then they would leave speedily. It was seven days later when Mo Wuji arrived outside Great Sword Path. Rage continued to run rampant in his heart, but his mind also became increasingly calm. Over these few days, he had already made sufficient preparations. It was exactly as Yan Yuerong said; this was his best opportunity to go to the Great Sword Path. The Great Sword Path''s Immortal Emperors, Quasi-Emperors, and even their peak Immortal Reverents have gone to the Broken World. To Mo Wuji, this was the safest time he could come. On the other hand, Xiao Xiaoyu believed that even if Yi Minghu wasn''t around, he wouldn''t his focus and guard towards Mo Wuji. On reality, her guess was wrong. Yi Minghu didn''t even believe that Mo Wuji would be able to recover in such a short period of time. He didn''t think that MonWuji would actually try to make a rescue within these 100 years. Moreover, this was a cautious estimate. In fact, it might take 10,000 years and Mo Wuji might not even have recovered. After all, Mo Wuji had suffered such heavy injuries. Even if Mo Wuji was an Immortal Emperor and had the best healing treasures, he wouldn''t be able to recover in such a short period of time. Yi Minghu wouldn''t have expected that Mo Wuji''s cultivation might not make it, but Mo Wuji''s physique was actually comparable to an Immortal Emperor''s. It was even further out of his imagination that Mo Wuji would have the vitality channel and the Breath of Hongmeng. Thus, Mo Wuji didn''t take 100 years, in fact, he didn''t even need two years to return. For others, entering the Great Sword Path''s Sword Prison would be akin to throwing oneself towards death. Mo Wuji, however, did not have such thoughts. Before he came to Great Sword Path, he had already made his plans. Besides the information that he had already gotten from Xiao Xiaoyu, he was going to conduct another round of investigation. Sword Prison was indeed at Xiao Xiaoyu had said: it was filled with boundless sword qi which tore at one¡¯s flesh and soul. However, Mo Wuji had a God Physique. How many people in the entire Immortal World had a God Physique? Moreover, he had a peak physique tempering technique. Sword qi tearing against his flesh would only cause some minor pain; he didn''t really care about it. Mo Wuji paid even less heed to the ripping of the soul. The soul was condensed from the primordial spirit; ripping the soul began from one''s primordial spirit. His God Physique was based on a mortal body. He didn''t cultivate a primordial spirit, and only had a boundless, violet sea of consciousness. This ripping of his soul wouldn''t affect him at all. As long as he could enter the Sword Prison, his first step would have succeeded. Everyone that entered the Sword Prison would be placed with a sword talisman. Not only would this sword talisman protect your final breath of life, it could actually increase the intensity of the sword qi on your soul and body. That means that it would worsen the torture, but made it such that you wouldn''t die. Mo Wuji had a God Physique and he didn''t have a primordial spirit, but that didn''t mean that he wanted a peak grade sword talisman on himself and suffer from the corrosion of the sword qi. Thus, the second step was to earn the contempt of the people in charge of Sword Prison. That way, they would only use the lowest grade sword talisman on him. The third step was to search for Han Qingru. This step would have to depend on the conditions within Sword Prison. The fourth step was to leave Sword Prison after finding Han Qingru. According to the Sword Prison''s recorded history, no prisoner that entered Sword Prison had left alive. However, Mo Wuji didn''t fully believe this. Since his journey on the Dao, he became cognizant of one fact: no matter what happened, there would always be a thread of life. In this vast universe, there was no place of absolute death. The reason why you would think that there wasn''t hope, was either because you didn''t search for it, or your luck simply wasn''t enough. Mo Wuji created his Immortal Mortal Dao and forged the path of cultivation for mortals. Because of this, his insights towards the Heavenly Daos increased day by day. He believed that either the Great Sword Path should have hidden the truth of people surviving the Sword Prison, or the cultivators that entered Sword Prison had yet to find that thread of life. No matter what, that thread of life was definitely present. Based on the Heavenly Dao, there was no place of absolute death. Once one reaches the limits, a thread of life would appear. This was Mo Wuji''s understanding towards the Heavenly Dao. It was exactly due to this understanding that he could forge the Mortal Dao. Otherwise, how could mortals, who were absolutely devoid of spiritual roots, be able to cultivate and become immortals? It was true that mortals could pursue the Martial Dao, but martial arts wasn''t the same as the Immortal Dao. It was very much different from cultivating to become an immortal. At the same time, Mo Wuji had the resolute belief that opportunities would come on those who prepare themselves. Even though his cultivation wasn''t sufficient, he would still need to prepare for all situations before entering Sword Prison. Seven days. In these seven days, Mo Wuji had prepared a pile of transfer array discs. Ever since he reached the periphery of Great Sword Path, he started to secretly install the transfer array discs. Whether these transfer arrays turned out to be of use or not, he was still going to install them. As he reached the periphery of , Mo Wuji looked up and saw the Great Sword Mountain which towered into the clouds. He firmed his conviction; as long as he had the opportunity, he would definitely destroy this Great Sword Mountain. According to the information that Mo Wuji obtained, the simplest method to enter Sword Prison was to barge into the place where Sword Qi Bone Flowers were grown. To make things convenient for cultivators to trade for Sword Qi Bone Flower, Sword Exchange Valley was situated at the fringe of Great Sword Path. Sword Exchange Valley wasn''t guarded. After all, this was a site of transaction and there was a relatively steady stream of people. Mo Wuji followed the crowd and easily walked into valley. The entire was like a small scale city square. There were resthouses, stalls, hotels¡­ Of course, the biggest establishment was the Sword Exchange House. Anyone that wished to trade for Sword Qi Bone Flower only needed to enter Sword Exchange House. If one didn''t have enough immortal crystals, he could browse around the stalls outside. Because the Sword Qi Bone Flower was very valuable, many cultivators who wanted Sword Qi Bone Flower that had a longer forming time would stay in the resthouses or hotels here. Sword Exchange House was considered the building that was the furthest within . If one continued to head inwards, there would be a red line. Behind the red line was where the Sword Qi Bone Flowers grew. The Great Sword Path did not allow anyone to trespass into that area. At this instant, Mo Wuji was disguised as a wandering nomad. His cultivation was only at the late Golden Immortal Stage, and he had a Grade 3 immortal longsword on his back. The sword''s sheathe looked slightly dull. On the surface, it looked like this sword had followed its owner for some time. His hair was slightly disheveled, but his appearance still looked heroic and handsome. His linen clothes made him look like a devout sword immortal. "I want Sword Qi Bone Flower." As Mo Wuji walked into Sword Exchange House, he headed to the closest transaction window. He spoke in a simple and concise manner, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. When the attendant in the stall saw Mo Wuji''s anxiousness, he smiled and said, "Dao friend, there''s no need to be anxious in Sword Exchange Valley. No one would dare lay hands on you hand. If you want a One Year Sword Qi Bone Flower, the price is 3¡­" The attendant suddenly stopped talking. His eyes were glittering slightly as he stared at the jade box in Mo Wuji''s hand. Mo Wuji had already opened the jade box, inside lay a light green immortal fruit. As an attendant of , his cultivation was not very high, but his knowledge was not low. He only needed a single glance to recognize this as a Hundred Chanels Leafless Fruit. Chapter 686: Entering Sword Prison Chapter 686: Entering Sword Prison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit was a Tier 8 immortal fruit. One could only dream of a treasure like this. The Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit''s greatest use was in the concoction of the Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill. What kind of thing was the Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill? It was a treasure that could heal the spirit channels of Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Reverents. Today, he had actually seen a Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit today. "This fruit can be exchanged for a Sword Qi Bone Flower of what forming time?" Mo Wuji''s voice was urgent, he was clearly uncertain. After asking that, he immediately closed the jade box and held it tightly in his hands. "This immortal friend, wait for a moment." The moment this attendant finished speaking, he immediately sent a message. In just a short amount of time, a Grand Yi Immortal wearing a low crown and brown robes hastily ran over. Before that Grand Yi Immortal could say anything, that attendant pointed at Mo Wuji and signaled. This Grand Yi Immortal then clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and said, "You intend to exchange your immortal herb for what kind of Sword Qi Bone Flower?" "I intend to exchange it for a Hundred Year Sword Qi Bone Flower..." Mo Wuji hesitated before he said with uncertainty. When he finished speaking, he opened his jade box once more, allowing this Grand Yi Immortal to take a look. Mo Wuji had a longsword on his back, he was ostensibly a sword immortal. It was a very common occurrence for a sword immortal to come here with intentions to exchange for a Hundred Year Sword Qi Bone Flower. In terms of value, the Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit in Mo Wuji''s hand was far more valuable than a Hundred Year Sword Qi Bone Flower. But the Great Sword Path typically only transacts Sword Qi Bone Flowers of Fifty Years and below. Those that had a forming time that exceeded fifty years were usually reserved for the use of Great Sword Path''s disciples. "I''m truly sorry. Immortal friend, your fruit can only be exchanged for a Fifty Year Sword Qi Bone Flower at the very most¡­" "Oh¡­ then forget about it." A hint of disappointment fleeted across Mo Wuji''s eyes, and he promptly turned to leave. "Wait¡­" This Grand Yi Immortal called out to Mo Wuji, "Can you lend me see your immortal fruit?" "What do you want to do?" Mo Wuji stared warily at this Grand Yi Immortal. At the same time, he anxiously retreated out of Sword Exchange House. That Grand Yi Immortal hurriedly said, "There''s no need for you to worry. I just want to take a look and verify the authencity of the immortal fruit in your hands." An expression of complete disbelief hung on Mo Wuji''s face. He stared straight at this Grand Yi Immortal as he hastily retreated. When this Grand Yi Immortal saw that Mo Wuji was retreating in the direction where the Sword Qi Bone Flower were growing, his mouth went agape. However, he seemed to recall something and he hurriedly said, "Stand still, you can''t move randomly run away here." Mo Wuji continued to have an expression of aghast on his face as he sped up his retreat. "Stop. You have already entered within 30 meters of the Sword Qi Bone Flower growing zone. You are simply courting death¡­" That Grand Yi Immortal scolded harshly. Mo Wuji instantly revealed an expression of fear. He hurriedly stopped as he turned to look at the Sword Qi Bone Flowers growing not far behind him. His voice was slightly trembling as he said, "I, I didn''t mean to¡­" "It doesn''t matter whether it was intentional, you have trespassed into the Great Sword Path''s prohibited area¡­" A cold voice resounded. Thereafter, a hand of immortal elemental energy grabbed over. Mo Wuji stared blankly as this hand enveloped him. He seemed to completely unable to move. This immortal elemental hand instantly sealed Mo Wuji. Thereafter, this Grand Yi Immortal hurried over. He grabbed Mo Wuji''s jade box, as well as Mo Wuji''s storage ring, then he said, "Senior Brother, this person has been captured and his items confiscated." Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel''s spiritual will had already formed an imprint on this Grand Yi Immortal. Even though the things in his storage ring did not even have a value of 100 immortal crystals, anyone that dared to steal his items must pay. "Hmm!" A late stage Grand Luo Immortal walked out. He glanced at Mo Wuji indifferently and said, "A mere Golden Immortal actually dares to trespass in our Sword Qi Bone Flowers growing zone. I''m not gonna waste my sword talisman on you. Get in there!" As this Grand Luo Immortal was speaking, he slashed downwards with a jade talisman. In the middle of where the Sword Qi Bone Flowers were growing, a black murky spatial fracture appeared. That Grand Luo Immortal couldn''t even be bothered to place a sword talisman on Mo Wuji as he directly threw Mo Wuji into that fracture. At almost the same instant, Mo Wuji threw out a concealed transfer array disc. ¡­ Mo Wuji landed on hard ground. However, he wasn''t able to see anything clearly, even with his spiritual will. Before he could leave a spiritual will imprint on this spot, a sword qi shot over. Even though Mo Wuji had a God Physique, this sword qi still managed to slice a small trail of blood on his skin. Besides that, he felt no other discomfort. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He felt some invisible sword qi piercing straight into his sea of consciousness. It was just that he didn''t even have a primordial spirit, and these sword qi were directly swallowed within his sea of consciousness. Indeed, the sword qi here was helpless against him. From the looks of it, a God Physique was his prerequisite for surviving the rampant sword qi. "Pff! Pff!" Another few beams of sword qi flew over; another additional lines of blood formed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Mo Wuji stopped in shock. He lowered his head and noticed that these sword qi actually didn''t cause a single tear on clothes. It merely caused some cuts on his skin. Mo Wuji directly closed his eyes and allowed the sword qi to come at him. Mo Wuji had come in without a sword talisman. Without a control, each beam of sword qi seemed to be aiming to take his life. Half an incense''s time later, Mo Wuji finally understood what was going on. These sword qi were indeed evil; they seemed to be able to distinguish and discern life force. His clothes and magic treasure didn''t have any life force. On the other hand, his fleshly body and his sea of consciousness was brimming with life force. This was why these sword qi would directly stab through his sea of consciousness and his body, but his clothes were left completely undamaged. In other words, even if one had a supreme defensive treasure, it still wouldn''t protect him from these sword qi. This was unless you possessed a pocket dimension that was at a higher grade than this world. If you entered that world, these sword qi would be unable to detect your existence. This was how you could avoid the sword qi. Some fear lingered in Mo Wuji''s heart. Fortunately, he didn''t have a primordial spirit. No matter how much sword qi came at him, it would directly be swallowed by his violet sea of consciousness. If he did have a primordial spirit, he would probably be wishing for death right now. An incense''s time later, Mo Wuji had gradually became accustomed to the sword qi here. He could feel that the intensity of the sword qi in this space wasn''t constantly the same. Some times, there would be sword qi that was more than a fold stronger than average sword qi. The moment Mo Wuji became used to the sword qi here, even the stronger sword qi could only serve to temper his physique. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji''s physique had was already tempered to an unbelievable degree. In the Immortal World, it was truly difficult to find a place that could train a God Physique any further. No longer influenced by the sword qi, Mo Wuji slowly extended his spiritual will outwards. His spiritual will wasn''t able to extend very far, a radius of 5 kilometers was his limit. Mo Wuji also discovered a strange phenomenon. The visibility within this place seemed to fluctuate vastly. At some places, he couldn''t even see his fingers. At others, it was a grey and hazy blur. There were also places that were as bright as day with great visibility. He even encountered a red blurry space. There, it seemed like the entire area had been covered in a red veil, turning the entire space red. The surrounding terrain was also very weird. It wasn''t a flat plain, nor was it elevated hills. Mo Wuji placed Han Qingru''s communication bead on his wrist. He had gotten this back when he was in the Corner of Yong Ying; so its sensitivity was rather low. Even though Mo Wuji was already a Grand Luo Immortal, his sensitivity radius didn''t exceed 50 kilometers. Even though he had managed to enter Sword Prison, Mo Wuji wasn''t the least but happy. He could feel that the domain within Sword Prison was vast and boundless. Moreover, his spiritual will had been severely limited. He might not be able to find Han Qingru even after hundreds of years. At this instant, Mo Wuji could only hope that Han Qingru was also wearing her communication bead in her hand. That way, he would have an additional strand of hope. Just when Mo Wuji was still deciding on what direction he should go, a figure flashed by. This was a person? Mo Wuji soon determined that this was indeed a cultivator. In just a few breaths time, this cultivator reached Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji had seen many scary sh*t, he still subconsciously retreated. The thing that charged towards him shouldn''t be considered a person, but a moving corpse. There did not seem to be any whole piece of flesh on his face, and even his bones seemed to have scars formed from sword qi. His clothes had already been drenched purple, and it looked like a thick piece of tree bark. Not only that, it seemed like a knife was constantly digging at his internal organs as his entire, broken eyes looked like they were completely filled with pain and agony. Mo Wuji was very clear, however, that the pain this person was suffering definitely exceeded that of a knife digging at his organs. This was because this person was experiencing the constant pain of his primordial spirit being torn. Looking at this person''s aggrieved appearance, Mo Wuji''s inner fire began to burn with greater intensity. He needed to find Han Qingru as soon as possible. This person was intending to charge past Mo Wuji. But when he saw that Mo Wuji appeared completely fine, he immediately stopped and stared at Mo Wuji. Chapter 687: Vine Mountain Of Safety And Sword Qi River Chapter 687: Vine Mountain Of Safety And Sword Qi River Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Why are you fine?" This man suddenly asked. His voice was slightly airy and his words weren''t pronounced clearly. Mo Wuji retreated by a few steps and looked warily at the corpse that''s left of that man and asked, "Who are you? Roughly where are the people that are being imprisoned here?" The reason why he was on guard was because this man in front of him had a powerful cultivation. Mo Wuji guessed that the other party was an Immortal Reverent. "Hehe¡­" This man uttered a ear-splitting laughter. Immediately, he extended his spotty and withered hand towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to slash out with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. His halberd conjured a half moon halberd light which slammed towards that bony arm. "Boom!" Immortal elemental energy exploded, and Mo Wuji was directly sent flying. At almost the same instant as when Mo Wuji attacked, a sword qi from within the Sword Prison shot straight towards Mo Wuji''s bones. Fortunately, Mo Wuji''s fleshly body was strong to an unimaginable degree, and this sword qi was only able to cause him some slight pain. This spotted and scar filled corpse man stared at Mo Wuji in shock. At the very next instant, his bone went "Kacha!" as one of his finger bones broke. It wasn''t that he was worse than Mo Wuji. It was because he had been corroded by sword qi for countless of years. Even now, he was continuously being ripped apart by the Sword Prison''s sword qi. This ripping didn''t affect his body alone, it also tore his soul apart. Every time he activated his immortal elemental energy, the power of this ripping sword qi would increase by multiple fold. However, Mo Wuji was different. Not only didn''t he have any sword talisman on him, he wasn''t even affected by the sword qi here. It could be said that he was equivalent to an Immortal Reverent here. More accurately, he possessed even greater power and freedom than an Immortal Reverent. Even when he was attacking which caused the power of the sword qi to concentrate, if didn''t affect him much. Mo Wuji landed tens of meters away. In his heart, he now knew that this Immortal Reverent''s power wasn''t of any threat to him. "Senior, please help me. I''m willing to follow senior and be at your beck and call¡­" This bony corpse suddenly kneeled on the ground and uttered words which even left Mo Wuji stupefied. In his eyes, since Mo Wuji was able to attain the upper hand in a straight on exchange, that meant that Mo Wuji was a senior. It wasn''t in his considerations that he only had a fraction of his full power left. An esteemed Immortal Reverent actually kneeled in front of an unassuming Grand Luo Immortal like him. There was no need to talk about his Grand Luo Immortal cultivation. Even if he was a Quasi-Emperor, or even an Immortal Emperor, it was simply impossible to get an Immortal Reverent to kneel willingly. Any Immortal Reverent had his own pride. they would rather die than to have their knees touch the ground. Mo Wuji wielded his Half Moon Weighted Halberd in front of him as he approached this Immortal Reverent. After sizing this Immortal Reverent up, he finally asked a string of questions, "Stand up and talk. What''s your name? Why are you here? How long have you been here? And why do you want me to help you?" This Immortal Reverent stood up and said respectfully, "I am called Fei Ling. I have been imprisoned in Sword Prison for 4,000 years. I have always been staying in Vine Mountain of Safety. Because I offended Pang Hong, he actually got me to go down to Sword Qi River to collect water for four consecutive times. I could only escape¡­" "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji stopped Fei Ling, "What''s Vine Mountain of Safety? What''s Sword Qi River? And why must you collect water?" Fei Ling explained, "Senior doesn''t have a sword talisman on you, so it doesn''t feel as unbearable¡­" When he said the word ''unbearable¡¯, the corner of Fei Ling''s eyes twitched unconsciously. Clearly, his primordial spirit was still suffering from the sword qi. "Being in here and suffering from the sword qi, one could only continuously search for a place where the sword qi is weaker. Vine Mountain of Safety is such a place. That place is filled with thick roots as well as vines that extended up and out. At the same time, the sword qi there is very weak. There are even four hours in a day when there won''t be sword qi invading and corroding our souls. Anyone that entered Sword Prison would eventually find their way to Vine Mountain of Safety." "Great Sword Path doesn''t know that there''s this Vine Mountain of Safety in Sword Prison?" Mo Wuji asked. Fei Ling shook his head, "They definitely don''t know about it. Entering Sword Prison is equivalent to death. There''s no means of communication with the outside world. Moreover, it hadn''t been long since Vine Mountain of Safety was discovered. The Great Sword Path definitely doesn''t know of Vine Mountain of Safety. They might not even know of Sword Qi River." "Continue speaking." Mo Wuji nodded. It was not far off from his expectations. The Great Sword Path only threw people into this Sword Prison. They only knew that Sword Prison was filled with sword qi that corroded one''s flesh and soul. However, they didn''t know the exact situation within Sword Prison itself. Feeling that Mo Wuji was very likely to help him, Fei Ling''s spirits uplifted, "Sword Qi River is a river that¡¯s near Vine Mountain of Safety. The river water in this river is extremely valuable. The river could offset the effects that the sword qi does to your flesh and soul. Not only that, if you drink enough of it, it could even heal your damaged primordial spirit. Unfortunately, the amount of water we can obtain from the river is extremely little; so every single drop was precious." "Why? Is there very little water in the river?" Mo Wuji was slightly confused. Fei Ling shook his head, "It''s not that. It''s because the river water is very hard to procure. That entire river is filled with water, but it''s hard to approach the river. As you get closer to the river, the corrosive power of the sword qi increases. Every step you take, the ripping pain would increase by multiple fold. The reason why I have such a wretched appearance is because I went to Sword Qi River to collect water. Not only is the journey to Sword Qi River extremely terrifying. If you touch the water, the power of the sword qi would increase once more. The more water you collected, the more terrifying and painful it gets. With my cultivation at the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage, I could only obtain approximately half a catty of water during each trip. I don''t know how I managed to offend that Pang Hong. Usually, people would only be tasked to collect water from Sword Qi River once every few years. I was actually asked to do it four times in the same year. I didn¡¯t go for this fourth time because I know that if I were to go, I would undoubtedly die. I could only escape. In Sword Prison, one must continuously fly and flee. If you stop like I am now, you would suffer even greater agony¡­" As he said this, an expression of extreme pain emerged in the corner of Fei Ling''s eyes. Even though Mo Wuji could defend against this constant onslaught of sword qi, he had no means of helping Fei Ling. Even if he could help Fei Ling, he wouldn''t do so. Helping an Immortal Reverent expert to ameliorate the ripping of the sword qi was equivalent to courting his own death. It was exactly because Fei Ling was constantly being agonised by the sword qi that Fei Ling wasn''t of thread to him. If he helped Fei Ling to defend against the sword qi, then the other party could kill him at any given moment. Even though the possibility of that happening was very low, and even if it was any lower, Mo Wuji wasn''t going to take that risk. "You say that the Vine Mountain of Safety is near Sword Qi River. Logically, the sword qi at the Vine Mountain of Safety should be especially strong. Why do you say that the sword qi at the VineMountain of Safety is incredibly weak? And why would there even be four hours without sword qi?" Mo Wuji sounded off his doubts. Fei Ling shook his head, "Senior might not know this, but it''s very possible that all the sword qi in Sword Prison originates from Sword Qi River. According to logical deduction, VineMountain of Safety, which is very close to Sword Qi River, should experience stronger and more intense sword qi. However, what happens in Sword Prison cannot be defined by logic. From the way I look at it, Sword Qi River is a light, and the Vine Mountain of Safety is the shadow beneath the light." Mo Wuji nodded; this analogy was acceptable. By now, he already had a rough understanding of the Vine Mountain of Safety. According to what Fei Ling said, any cultivator with a sword talisman would subconsciously find their way to the place with the weakest sword qi; that was the Vine Mountain of Safety. Han Qingru had already been locked in here for over a year. It was very likely that she had already found her way to the Vine Mountain of Safety. "Is it true that those with higher cultivation would experience greater ripping effects from the sword qi?" Mo Wuji guessed that the immortals here would be different. It was very possible the effects of sword qi would be greater corresponding to one¡¯s higher cultivation. "Yes, it¡¯s like that. The sword qi here has its own spirituality. Not only does it rip a cultivator¡¯s flesh and soul with different intensity according to cultivation level, it also seeks out and devours life force. As long as you have a cultivation and life force, you would only be food for the sword qi. One day, you will be devoured till there¡¯s nothing left of you," Fei Ling nodded and said. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart suddenly started to race. He thought of a critical problem. The sword qi he was feeling wasn¡¯t really intense. Could it be because he didn¡¯t have any spiritual roots? Did the sword qi judge him as a weak mortal? If that¡¯s the case, then the sword qi here was truly too terrifying. If a mortal like him was already experiencing such powerful sword qi, then what would it be like for immortals? The more Mo Wuji lingered on these thoughts, the more anxious he was to find Han Qingru. Han Qingru was a true Golden Immortal with true spiritual roots. "After you entered Sword Prison, how long did it take for you to find the Vine Mountain of Safety?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone got slightly urgent. "I used a little over a month to find Vine Mountain of Safety. If we head over now, it would only take half a day," Fei Ling said with a slight fawning tone. In his perspective, the sword qi here didn¡¯t have any effects on Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji¡¯s combat power was much stronger than his. If Mo Wuji went to the Vine Mountain of Safety, he would definitely attain a seat of power. As long as he followed behind Mo Wuji, he would be able to find some safety. "Tell me about that Pang Hong who forced you away? Is the entire Vine Mountain of Safety under his control?" Mo Wuji wanted to go to the Vine Mountain of Safety, and that meant that he would have to meet with the experts there. Before he made his way there, he definitely needed to understand the situation properly. Fei Ling shook his head, "He doesn¡¯t have that capability. There are three primary powers in the Vine Mountain of Safety. One of them is indeed Pang Hong¡¯s Devil Hand. He occupies a quarter of the territory. The second power is Wei Zidao. He started an alliance called Immortal Hunters and he also controls a quarter of the Vine Mountain of Safety. The last one is by Shang Hegao. He established the alliance called Righteousness Moutain, and similarly, he occupies one quarter of the land. The remaining one quarter of the Vine Moutain of Safety is the worst part in the entire Vine Mountain. The people who stayed there are those that didn¡¯t join these three powers. Or more accurately, they were the people unwanted by these three powers." Chapter 688: Kiss me Chapter 688: Kiss me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "If you bring me over now, will I clash with the three primary powers?" Mo Wuji spoke with a prudent tone as it was true that he was desperate to find Han Qingru but he didn¡¯t wish to become Fei Ling¡¯s weapon to fight. "You won¡¯t because as long as you display your own strength, they wouldn¡¯t dare to act against you. Attacking someone here comes with a huge price to pay¡­" Even before Fei Ling could finish his sentence, his eyes couldn¡¯t stop twitching. Mo Wuji understood this sentence because when he condensed his immortal energy to swing his halberd at Fei Ling, the extent of laceration by the sword qi on his body did increase by at least one fold. As Mo Wuji noticed Fei Ling¡¯s twitching eyelids, Mo Wuji knew that this fella couldn¡¯t hold on for any longer so he said, "Lead the way and I will follow behind you." "Yes senior," Fei Ling didn¡¯t see Mo Wuji as a junior because in this place, he would treat those stronger as senior and Mo Wuji was definitely one of them. The instance they started flying, the anguish in Fei Ling¡¯s eyes became much fainter as it seemed that he managed to distract himself from the pain he was feeling earlier on. Fei Ling wasn¡¯t lying because after just half a day, a boundless vine appeared in front of Mo Wuji and there could be a lot of tree roots within it. The entire vine was grey in colour without any leaves vitality. The grey vine extended outwards limitlessly. All the vines or roots were twisted and shaped differently as it enveloped the entire area completely. From far, this place did look like a mountain of vines. Mo Wuji dashed right into the mountain of vines the moment he spotted it as he instantly expanded his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel fearlessly. Previously, Mo Wuji refused to use the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel because he was worried that he might encounter unexpected situations. Now that Han Qingru could be at the Vine Mountain of Safety, why would he exercise restraint on his methods. An average person¡¯s sea of consciousness could only extend to a limit of 10 miles in the Sword Prison while Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will from his spirit storage ring could extend over 100 miles. The Vine Mountain of Safety was never big to begin with so 100 miles would have covered the entire mountain. Just like how Fei Ling explained, the people of the Vine Mountain of Safety were divided into four and there seemed to be a transaction place in the middle. A river without ripples was flowing outside of the Vine Mountain of Safety and no one stood close to the river. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that this should be the Sword Qi River. At this moment, Mo Wuji had no intention to bother about the Sword Qi River as his spiritual will continued charging towards the Vine Mountain of Safety. Very soon, a few experts noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will but nobody came up to find trouble with Mo Wuji. In the Vine Mountain of Safety, as long as you don¡¯t find trouble with people or violate anything, nobody would care much about what you do here. To be able to extend one¡¯s spiritual will to that far and even offended people, this act alone could cause restraining fear. For the experts trapped in the Sword Prison, most of their edges had already been smoothen out. However, a few top experts suddenly stood up as they sensed Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. Before they could continue to track and follow Mo Wuji, he had already withdrawn his spiritual will. After just tens of breath, Mo Wuji was stunned as his spiritual will landed on a massive rock at the periphery of the Vine Mountain of Safety. Beside that rock was a skinny cultivator with hair draping over the shoulders as Mo Wuji had no idea whether the cultivator was dead or alive. Mo Wuji saw the cultivator and knew that it was Han Qingru. There were no messages on the communication bead on his hand so this showed that Han Qingru had nothing on her now. "The one with the surname Fei, you must be courting death to dare to come back!" An abrupt voice exclaimed. Fei Ling, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, started trembling as he subconsciously stood closer to Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered about Fei Ling at this instance as he charged frantically towards the other side of the Vine Mountain of Safety. "Who are you? How dare you break into the territory of my Righteousness Mountain?" While someone was still reprimanding Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji had already broke through that area. Fei Ling noticed that Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and Fei Ling was also reluctant to talk to that cultivator who was scolding them so he simply followed closely behind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was his backer now and he would need to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety if he were to break contact with Mo Wuji. Even if he managed to escape the Vine Mountain of Safety without Pang Hong chasing after him, he would definitely not last long. The extent of laceration of the sword qi at the Vine Mountain of Safety now was simply heaven-like to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji took a few steps forward and landed right next to Han Qingru before holding her in his arms. Han Qingru was as light as an empty shell and Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold and sore instantly. The moment he carried Han Qingru in his arms, Mo Wuji could feel the few sword qi permeating through and he immediately absorbed these sword qi into his body without any hesitation. Han Qingru suddenly jerked up before saying in a coarse and faint voice, "If you dare to touch me, I will kill myself at this instance¡­" She had totally forgotten that she was restrained by the sword talisman and it would be tough even for her to kill herself. "Senior Qingru, it¡¯s me. I am Mo Wuji¡­" Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even complete his sentence as his heart was filled with anger and torment. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could sense that Han Qingru¡¯s entire body was basically filled with bruises and her clothing was drenched in blood. Her vitality was so weak that only her breath remained while no immortal energy was left within her. The extent of sword qi a cultivator could feel here was indeed directly proportional to their cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the sword qi felt. How could one help if Han Qingru¡¯s level of cultivation was simply too low, a Golden Immortal and even one at the elementary stage. There was nothing a cultivator at this level could do other than to endure the torment of the sword qi. Even with such weak sword qi that she was experiencing, she was finding it so tough to survive. Yet a few more sword qi surged over and was also absorbed into Mo Wuji¡¯s body. By hugging Han Qingru, he could draw away the sword qi directed at her and this would make his heart feel a little more at ease. A few pills were brought out by Mo Wuji and sent straight into Han Qingru¡¯s mouth. Han Qingru¡¯s body was too weak so even Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to feed Han Qingru with every healing pill he had with him. "Wuji¡­" Han Qingru opened her eyes and when she saw Mo Wuji in front of her, her face displayed an expression of absolute despair. She was well aware of the place she was in so if Mo Wuji was also here, it would signify that Mo Wuji would be like her and suffer the devastating lacerations of the sword qi. A few moments later, her face of despair turned into thirst and hope for a chance to survive. Since she was unable to escape, why should she be so pessimistic? "Senior Sister Qingru¡­" Mo Wuji saw Han Qingru¡¯s bright like jade face and was a little emotional. Even though Han Qingru¡¯s entire body was full of bruises and bloody marks, her face was completely unharmed. Han Qingru slowly lifted her hand as her hand was covered in blood scars while the bones of her fingers could be seen clearly. There were even huge and deep scars on her neck. A large piece of her white bone was exposed and most part of it had already turned into dark grey colour. Her hand finally managed to come in contact with Mo Wuji¡¯s face while Mo Wuji was still absorbing the sword qi away from her. His heart was bleeding because he had only been here for a while and had already blocked over ten sword qi for her. This was in fact a place with weaker sword qi so imagine how much pain Han Qingru would suffer if she was in a place like the prison? One could imagine how a Golden Immortal like Han Qingru was struggling to survive for the past year. If he were to arrive half a year or even two or three months later, he might not get to see Han Qingru ever again. "Don¡¯t call me Senior Sister, just call me Qingru¡­" As she felt the warmth of Mo Wuji¡¯s face, Han Qingru revealed a slight smile. "Qingru, I will definitely obliterate the Great Sword Path and avenge you," Mo Wuji clenched his fist tightly as he said angrily. Han Qingru coughed as she struggled to say, "I am already feeling blessed to be able to see you here. Even if the sword qi were to rip my body apart, I would want to leave my face unharmed in fear that you wouldn¡¯t recognise me when I¡¯m dead¡­" "Qingru¡­" Mo Wuji looked astonishingly at Han Qingru because even though he was close to Han Qingru, it wasn¡¯t the type of relationship a man would have with a woman. His heart was only occupied by Cen Shuyin and he had never thought of getting close to any woman in that way. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t lack EQ so he would definitely sense if Han Qingru had any feelings for him previously. The truth was that even after knowing Han Qingru for such a long period of time, Mo Wuji never sense even the slightest love from Han Qingru. However, why did Han Qingru¡¯s words made him feel slightly odd? "I am only close to two people in this world and while my father was one of them, you are the other one¡­" Han Qingru didn¡¯t look like she could feel the effects of the healing pills given by Mo Wuji as she continued to immerse in her emotions, "Back at the Hundred Flowers Manor, you were unwilling to leave on your own and was insistent to bring me along. After that, I have a shadow of you in my heart and even I didn¡¯t realise it. However, deep in my heart, I am aware that I am not good enough for you¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth was wide open because did he just hear Han Qingru say that she was not good enough for him? He was merely a mortal and even though he wasn¡¯t considered ugly, he wasn¡¯t extremely handsome because there were so many more handsome men in the Immortal World. As if she could sense that Mo Wuji was going to speak, Han Qingru shook her head and continued, "I am a person who was married once and even though it was fake, I never intended to look for another another Dao companion. My biggest regret would be rejecting you when you placed both arms on my shoulders¡­" Mo Wuji looked at Han Qingru doubtfully because did such a thing happen? When did he grabbed Han Qingru¡¯s shoulders? Oh yes, he suddenly recalled the incident where he heard from Han Qingru that there was a possibility to rescue Cen Shuyin. He was so excited that he couldn¡¯t help grabbing Han Qingru¡¯s shoulders. "If I had one more chance, I wouldn¡¯t reject you¡­" Han Qingru stared at Mo Wuji before continuing, "Do you know how tough it was for me to survive over the years in the Immortal World alone? I always think about your act of giving me so many immortal crystals to condense my immortal lattice and you grabbing me as we escaped¡­ I was always thinking that if we were still together in the Immortal World, even if we were to lose our lives easily, at least I was able to stay with someone I like¡­" The scene of Han Qingru condensing her immortal lattice and her fairy like smile appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. At that instance, Han Qingru was indeed leaving a scar in his heart. "I am only certain of my feelings today which was why I dare to say all these. If we could die together here, I would finally not be lonely¡­ You should kiss me now¡­" Han Qingru slowly shut her eyes. She really thought that she was going to perish here which was why she poured her heart and feelings out to Mo Wuji. Chapter 689: The Number One School in the Immortal World Chapter 689: The Number One School in the Immortal World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Newbie, how arrogant can you get? How dare you touch the person I want?" An abrupt voice interrupted Han Qingru¡¯s words and woke Mo Wuji from his daze. In a glance, Mo Wuji could tell that the red robe man standing a distance away from him was an Immortal KIng. However, there was evidently some problems with the immortal energy in his body because he seemed much weaker than other Immortal Kings outside this place. What made Mo Wuji even more suspicious other than this red robe man¡¯s unstable energy was how he didn¡¯t appear hurt at all. It seemed like the red robe man was just like him as they were both not affected by the sword qi. Han Qingru opened her eyes and she finally noticed something was amiss, "Wuji, why do I feel much better now?" Without waiting for Mo Wuji to answer, Han Qingru confirmed that she had indeed gotten better. In fact, it wasn¡¯t considered slightly better because she could clearly sense the replenishing of her lost blood as well as her constantly increasing vitality. Even her damaged soul was slowly recovering, this¡­ "You don¡¯t have to worry about your own injuries," Mo Wuji casually comforted her. He thought to himself that if he wanted to gain a foothold here at the Sword Prison, he would need to have a safe turf of his own. Regarding the injuries caused by the sword qi which Han Qingru was suffering from, it was truly not notable in front of a Tier 8 Pill Emperor like himself. In fact, Mo Wuji even had the Zhi Nature Pill used to recover primordial spirit and the soul. Hearing that she would be fully recovered in no time, Han Qingru started feeling uneasy. Facing death, she could say what she said earlier but when she confirmed the fact that she wouldn¡¯t die and would have to face Mo Wuji again, she was at complete loss. She had no idea if she should tuck her head into Mo Wuji¡¯s embrace and act like an ostrich. If she knew that Mo Wuji could save her life, she would definitely not have said what she said. "Let her go and then scram," The red robe man didn¡¯t attack but warned Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about him as he simply looked down at Han Qingru, who was in his arms, and asked, "Who is this person? What does he want?" "Nothing, let¡¯s get out of here. As long as we are not in this place, he wouldn¡¯t do anything to us," Han Qingru said softly. Fei Ling, who was standing behind Mo Wuji, hurried to say, "Senior, this person is Devil Hand, Pang Hong¡¯s henchman. He is merely an Immortal King who I can finish off in one punch." Mo Wuji took out two pills and handed it to Fei Ling, "Consume this two pills and answer my question later." After arriving here and having a sensing of how the powers were distributed here, Mo Wuji knew that he should start nurturing his own men. "Many thanks Senior," Fei Ling swallowed the pills excitedly because he was already full of hope when he saw Mo Wuji taking out the pills to feed Han Qingru. After swallowing the two pills, it turned into a refreshing solution as this solution seeped into Fei Ling¡¯s bones and sea of consciousness. Seconds later, his bones started to heal while his immortal energy started to condense again. Fei Ling¡¯s eyes were wide opened with a gaping mouth as he looked unbelievably at Mo Wuji. The healing pill recovered his fleshly body and even the damages to his bones. Fei Ling didn¡¯t think that this was a coincidence but the thing that really shocked him was how his soul as well as primordial spirit were recovering too. "Could this be the Zhi Nature Pill?" Fei Ling couldn¡¯t believe it because he was aware that the Zhi Nature Pill was a Tier 7 immortal pill but it wasn¡¯t something a Tier 7 Immortal Emperor could concoct. In actual fact, only a few Tier 8 Pill Emperor would be able to concoct the Zhi Nature Pill. Moreover, only Tier 9 Pill Emperors would be able to concoct the pills which Mo Wuji just handed him. He forcefully swallowed half the sentence back as he looked at Mo Wuji with a newfound respect. What kind of person was Mo Wuji? To be able to casually give away a Zhi Nature Pill for him to use? Other than the Zhi Nature Pill, Mo Wuji also gave Fei Ling an Immortal Copious Pill. He needed to rope in a few people so he should naturally not be stingy or too generous. These two pills would be able to recover a portion of Fei Ling¡¯s elemental energy but not a complete recovery. "What pill did you consume?" That Immortal King stared shockingly at Fei Ling because he only barely managed to maintain his complete body because of his level of cultivation as well as a portion of the Sword Qi River¡¯s water. As for his primordial spirit, he didn¡¯t even have one tenth of what he used to have in his prime. "Qingru, we would be dead if we were to leave this place. We have to stay here so you must tell me everything that happened here," Why would Mo Wuji bother himself with an Immortal King as his thoughts was only occupied with thinking of ways to stay alive in the Vine Mountain of Safety. Han Qingru naturally understood the logic behind this as she slowly became more comfortable than before, "This person is from the Devil Hand and he wanted me to join the Devil Hand before healing me. Following which, I would have to serve a person with the surname Pang. If I am unwilling to do so, they wouldn¡¯t allow me into their territory. To be fair, they didn¡¯t force me to do anything against my will." "Senior, this place is indeed the territory of Pang Hong and he would definitely come and deal with us by staying here," Fei Ling spoke with great energy as he felt his strength coming back to him and most of his injuries healed. Mo Wuji nodded as it seemed like Pang Hong still maintained some dignity of an Immortal Emperor by not forcing a mere Golden Immortal like Han Qingru to do something against her will, "Fei Ling, bring me to meet Wei Zidao now." "Yes," Fei Ling was after all an Immortal Reverent and had lived for countless of years so the moment Mo Wuji said this, he understood his intention instantly. Mo Wuji was looking for an alliance. This made him even more satisfied because Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was higher than his and was also much stronger than him. If he could find Wei Zidao to be his alliance, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to gain a foothold in the Vine Mountain of Safety. As he watched Mo Wuji leaving with Fei Ling while carrying Han Qingru, the red robe Immortal King really wanted to act but eventually didn¡¯t have the guts to do so. He was already helpless against a mere Fei Ling and from the calmed and composed look of the unknown youth, the red robe Immortal King knew that he shouldn¡¯t be trifling with him. "Fei Ling, why didn¡¯t that Pang Hong come over to deal with you?" Fei Ling was originally forced out by Pang Hong and since Fei Ling had returned for such a long period of time, Pang Hong should have already started his pursuit of Fei Ling. Fei Ling chuckled bitterly, "Because this was Pang Hong¡¯s time to retrieve the water. Otherwise, why would I dare to come back?" Retrieve water? Back when he used his spiritual will to scan the area, he didn¡¯t actually sense that. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji extend his spiritual will outwards yet again and this time round, he did find something peculiar. At the periphery of the Sword Qi River, there was a faint and concealed array and Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t believe that Pang Hong would actually instal a concealment array just to retrieve water. Mo Wuji retracted his spiritual will as he didn¡¯t charge towards the concealment array. Fei Ling took the initiative to explain, "Everyone here would install a concealment array when retrieving water so as to prevent people from finding out how much water they retrieved." Mo Wuji nodded, "Indeed." "Senior, you can see the Sword Qi River?" Fei Ling¡¯s heart turned cold because even if Pang Hong was standing at their position, even he might not be able to use his spiritual will to reach the Sword Qi River. Mo Wuji simply answered, "Yes." Fei Ling didn¡¯t dare to continue probing as he had already treated Mo Wuji as an Immortal Emperor. If he wasn¡¯t an Immortal Emperor, how could he take out a Zhi Nature Pill so casually and how would he be able to sense the Sword Qi River from where they were standing at? "Senior, we have reached the territory to hunt for pigs. Actually, I feel that Righteousness Mountain¡¯s Shang Hegao would be easier to befriend as Wei Zidao was always acting proud and aloof. Anyone who he dislikes can forget about meeting him. Even if you get to meet him, you wouldn¡¯t be able to work with him," Fei Ling did a short introduction softly. "I get it now. After meeting Wei Zidao, we will go find Shang Hegao. Oh yes, my name is Mo Wuji so you can address me as Sect Head Mo instead of senior in the future," The reason why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t find Shang Hegao immediately was because he didn¡¯t really like the Righteousness Mountain¡¯s name. According to his past interactions with people, those who claimed to be righteous were usually the most unrighteous people. On the contrary, those who don¡¯t often talk about righteousness were usually the most righteous people. "Yes Sect Head Mo," Fei Ling answered respectfully as his heart was in a perilous situation. It was no wonder this youth had so much information and was this strong; it was because he was also a sect head. Sect Head Mo was imposing and vehement because all he did was to did some errands and he received two peak grade immortal pills. He had to follow Mo Wuji tightly and become a member of his sect. "Sect Head Mo, I will go inform Wei Zidao and say that we¡­" Fei Ling paused and looked excitedly at Mo Wuji as he still had no idea what the name of the sect was. "Our name is Ping Fan, the number one in the Immortal World," Mo Wuji said unbridledly. Number one in the Immortal World? Fei Ling¡¯s heart was going wild because he had been in the Sword Prison for all these years and since when was there actually a number one sect in the Immortal World? Since Mo Wuji was the head of the number one sect, why would he be sent to the Sword Prison by the Great Sword Path? He didn¡¯t dare ask any of these questions so he answered with respect, "Roger that Sect Head. I will go inform him now." Chapter 690: Scaring Wei Zidao Chapter 690: Scaring Wei Zidao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Number one sect in the Immortal World?" A man stared sharply at Fei Ling while speaking in a stern tone. In the early days, Gods Immortal Sect of the Gods Immortal Domain could barely be considered as the number one sect in the Immortal World. After the fall of the Gods Immortal Domain, the Immortal World no longer had a number one sect and nobody dared to claim that title. He recognised Fei Ling but he didn¡¯t expect Fei Ling¡¯s guts to be this huge for him to dare address this young man as the sect head of the number one sect of the Immortal World on the turf of his Immortal Hunterer. He, Wei Zidao, would love to see what kind of man would self proclaimed himself as the sect head of the number one sect of the Immortal World. If anyone were to spout rubbish in front of him, Wei Zidao, they shouldn¡¯t blame him for being ruthless. Even though Wei Zidao knew that he would need to pay a hefty price to attack, he would still kill this arrogant fella. That¡¯s right, the skinny man seated in front of Fei Ling was indeed Wei Zidao, founder of the Immortal Hunter. Among the Immortal Emperors who were held captive in the Sword Prison, Wei Zidao was the only advanced Immortal Emperor. However, after they arrived at the Sword Prison, whether or not you¡¯re an advanced Immortal Emperor or an intermediate Immortal Emperor, the strength that remained was no longer significant Even if Wei Zidao was that strong, he wouldn¡¯t attack casually in the Vine Mountain of Safety. By attacking in the Sword Prison, there would be several extremely pricey repercussions to suffer even if one was no longer within the Sword Prison anymore. Even though Wei Zidao looked exactly like an ordinary immortal, the truth was that presently, he had insufficient amount of blood, scattered primordial spirit and even his elemental energy was at the stage when it could collapse anytime. Just because of this reason, he would need to pay a hefty price if he chose to attack. Of course, other than Wei Zidao, Devil Hand¡¯s Pang Hong would also need to pay a hefty price if he made his decision to attack. Even if he needed to pay a hefty price, he wouldn¡¯t be able to swallow the fact that someone dared to claim to be the sect head of the number one sect of the Immortal World in front of him. A mighty spiritual will was released by him as it charged fearlessly towards Mo Wuji. As he waited outside while holding on to Han Qingru, Mo Wuji could feel an extremely valiant spiritual will surging towards him. On any other day, Mo Wuji would not have much of a reaction as he would need to conceal his own secret. However, Mo Wuji was well aware of his own predicament today and that he needed to show Wei Zidao his true strength in hope of a chance to work together with him. Just as that spiritual will came in contact with Mo Wuji¡¯s domain, Mo Wuji¡¯s normal spiritual will as well as his spiritual will from the spirit storage channel stomped out without holding back. Before Mo Wuji cultivated the Star Sea Sacred Technique, his spiritual will was already ridiculously strong and was even stronger than most Immortal Kings. Besides this, he was also able to expand his spiritual whirlpool. His Domain Smashing Fist brought along the spiritual will whirlpool which was capable of turning the tide of a battle in his favour easily. Presently, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was not affected in the Sword Prison while he had no idea if Wei Zidao even had 0.1% of his actual spiritual will left in him. Even if he had that much, Wei Zidao wouldn¡¯t be able to fully utilise it because the instance he tried to activate his spiritual will forcefully, his sea of consciousness would possibly collapse. Once his sea of consciousness collapsed, his primordial spirit would follow suit and he wouldn¡¯t be too far away from death. As the two spiritual will clashed against each other, Wei Zidao felt a massive hammer smashing into his sea of consciousness as it almost broke his entire sea of consciousness apart. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will from his spirit storage channel was much more effective on the offensive than the spiritual will from the sea of consciousness so how Wei Zidao supposed to go against Mo Wuji? "Ai!" Wei Zidao spat out an arrow of blood as he could almost feel his immortal energy dispersing in the next moment. Wei Zidao naturally didn¡¯t dare to continue using his spiritual will to seek revenge from Mo Wuji as he withdrew it before draining the cup of water beside him in one gulp. "It seems like Immortal Friend Zidao don¡¯t really welcome me here?" After experiencing Wei Zidao¡¯s impoliteness and teaching him a lesson, Mo Wuji carried Han Qingru into the Immortal Hunter¡¯s simple and crude hall. "Sect Head Mo¡­" Wei Zidao stood up with a pale face before clasping his fists towards Mo Wuji, "It was a misunderstanding earlier on and I hope Sect Head Mo would not put that to heart. Sect Head Mo should know that we have been trapped within the Sword Prison and had been suffering every second which explains some of our inappropriate actions." In Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was so impressive so he must be so much stronger than himself too. He wanted to teach Mo Wuji a lesson only because Mo Wuji loved to sprout nonsense such as his claim that he was the sect head of the number one sect of the Immortal World. Additionally, he knew that Mo Wuji was only very young so how could he stand the words of someone as ignorant as Mo Wuji? Having experienced Mo Wuji¡¯s mighty spiritual will attack, he didn¡¯t dare to go against Mo Wuji regardless of whether Mo Wuji was truly the sect head of the number one sect in the Immortal World. It was never easy to survive here in the Sword Prison and while he finally gained a foothold in the Vine Mountain of Safety, he really didn¡¯t wish to casually throw this position away. "I will take it that it was a misunderstanding then," Mo Wuji would naturally not want to get into a conflict with Wei Zidao. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will might be able to restrain Wei Zidao casually but if he were to get into a real fight with an Immortal Emperor like Wei Zidao, Mo Wuji might not be able to win. After all, a weakened camel would still be stronger than a horse. "Sect Head Mo, please take a seat!" Wei Zidao saw that Mo Wuji was no longer harping over it so he heaved a huge sigh of relief before pointing out a seat for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded and sat without feeling restrained. Wei Zidao took out a cup before pouring Mo Wuji some water, "Sect Head Mo, please enjoy the water." "Could this be the water of the Sword Qi River?" Mo Wuji questioned. Wei Zidao said proudly, "Yes, this is the water of the Sword Qi River and it is getting increasingly rare." "Yes, Sect Head. This cup of water requires an Immortal Reverent to spend a few days to acquire it," Fei Ling whispered to Mo Wuji after Wei Zidao finished his sentence Mo Wuji nodded before taking a sip of the water. It was clearly water but after it entered Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth, it turned into an odd kind of energy. This energy quickly spread into the other parts of Mo Wuji¡¯s body and a faint sword intent was felt by Mo Wuji. There were almost no sword qi within Wei Zidao¡¯s hall and because the sword qi outside this place would not affect Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji only felt a faint sword intent and nothing else after drinking this cup of water. As for its ability to counter the sword qi, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t even affected by the sword qi outside so what was the water supposed to counter against? "How was it?" Wei Zidao looked excitedly at Mo Wuji because after witnessing Mo Wuji¡¯s strength, he decided to be on the good side of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded yet again, "It is pretty decent as there was even a faint sword intent within it. I am not used to this kind of water so Fei Ling, why don¡¯t you drink it?" If not for the fact that it would appear rude, Mo Wuji was intending to return this cup of water back to Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao was momentarily shocked because why would there still be a person like Mo Wuji? Does he have any idea how precious the Sword Qi River¡¯s water was? He offered it to someone else? "Yes, many thanks Sect Head," Fei Ling couldn¡¯t wait as he grabbed the cup and gulped the water down impatiently. After swallowing the water, he even shut his eyes to ponder upon the feeling of the water in his mouth. All the cultivators in the hall looked enviously at Fei Ling because everyone knew what a rare opportunity it was to drink a cup of this water. After Fei Ling finished the cup of water, Wei Zidao sighed, "Sect Head Mo is indeed not ordinary and I have yet to ask for the name of Sect Head Mo." Previously, Fei Ling only mentioned that he was Sect Head Mo of the number one sect in the Immortal World so Wei Zidao still had no idea what was Mo Wuji¡¯s name. "My name is Mo Wuji and I am here today to befriend Immortal Friend Wei," Mo Wuji replied faintly. In a place like this, he came over with the same status as Wei Zidao so Mo Wuji knew that he mustn''t disrespect Wei Zidao¡¯s position and status. "Sect Head Mo, I hear from Immortal Friend Fei Ling that you¡¯re the sect head of the number one sect in the Immortal World, Ping Fan Sect?" Wei Zidao spoke cautiously. Mo Wuji said convincingly, "Other than some small details, Fei Ling is right. Ping Fan is not exactly Ping Fan Sect but the number one school in the Immortal World. Within the Ping Fan School, there would be various branch sects.Ping Fan is an existence far more superior than a sect which is why it is the number one in the Immortal World." "Wouldn¡¯t that be an immortal domain?" Wei Zidao was even more shocked. The seven great domains in the Immortal World had already been divided well and the eighth domain would be an underworld domain, extremely unattractive to immortals. If anyone dared to disrupt the balance of the seven immortal domains here by setting up an individual domain, it would definitely bring about the combined attacks of many experts in the existing immortal domains. What abilities did Mo Wuji have? To think he dare call his own sect an immortal domain? Mo Wuji chuckled, "Immortal Friend Wei misunderstood me because even though my Ping Fan is the number one school in the Immortal World, it is not an immortal domain. Any sects can join Ping Fan and once they joined Ping Fan, they would have to follow the rules of Ping Fan in terms of how they run their sect. In other words, Ping Fan¡¯s domain would practice a set of rules and might would not necessarily make right." "I understand now," Wei Zidao took in a deep breath of cold air because the words of this Sect Head Mo was simply too shocking. "I was wondering how Sect Head Mo entered the Sword Prison?" Wei Zidao had this query in his heart because if Mo Wuji was as strong as what he said he was, why would he be thrown into the Sword Prison? Mo Wuji replied calmly, "I was surrounded by Great Sword Path¡¯s Yi Minghu, Lightning Sect¡¯s Lei Guyun, Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Jin Yusheng and Guang Xing of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. As expected, I was not a match for them so I escaped with severe injuries. Who knew that the Great Sword Path would be so despicable to capture my senior sister before throwing her here. I am only here in the Sword Prison to rescue my senior sister." Wei Zidao was instantly dumbfounded because others couldn¡¯t even avoid the Sword Prison no matter how hard they tried but this man actually took the initiative to enter it. This wasn¡¯t the main point because the main point was that Wei Zidao recognised all four people Mo Wuji mentioned. Back in his days in the Immortal World, he would need to bow and make way at the sight of any one of the four experts mentioned. Other than Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Guang Xing, the other three were all Grand Emperors and any one of them would be able to finish Wei Zidao off in seconds. This was especially so for the Great Sword Path¡¯s Yi Minghu because this man was not only extremely strong, he was even more crafty. Wei Zidao was injured because of Yi Minghu and eventually thrown into the Sword Prison. This Sect Head Mo actually managed to escape alive after being surrounded by the four of them. How could this not be shocking? Chapter 691: Unrest In The Vine Mountain of Safety Chapter 691: Unrest In The Vine Mountain of Safety Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he looked at the disbelieving Wei Zidao, Mo Wuji simply said, "Immortal Friend Wei, we can discuss about these later on. My purpose here is to form an alliance with Immortal Friend Wei because I wouldn¡¯t be able to leave this place any time soon. My time in the Sword Prison¡­" Before Mo Wuji could complete what he wanted to say, Wei Zidao interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s words with his trembling voice, "Sect Head Mo, are you saying that you can leave the Sword Prison in the future?" Mo Wuji still had no clues as to whether he could leave this place but he had plenty of methods to surprise Wei Zidao, "I have yet to form a plan to leave this place but I am not worried at all. I believe that as long as I am willing, I would make it out of this Sword Prison eventually because I entered using a method unknown to others. However, Immortal Friend Wei¡¯s soul primordial spirit has been severely wounded and if nothing was done to remedy it, I¡¯m afraid that it might be unable to recover forever." "Sect Head Mo, are you saying that you can even recover the primordial spirit wounded by the sword qi here?" Even an Immortal Emperor like Wei Zidao was no longer able to conceal his own emotions. Presently, he was restrained by the sword talisman and his soul primordial spirit had been suffering and accumulating wounds from the sword qi. It could be said that his current strength was not even 0.001% of his strength during his prime. To think that such a mightily powerful Immortal Emperor would end up as pathetic as he was right now. He could even forget about this but now that his life was in danger, even his attacks were restrained and if it was any other person, they would feel just as unreconciled to their fate. The words of Mo Wuji that said he could recover the spirit soul and primordial spirit simply touched the depths of Wei Zidao¡¯s soul. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue answering Wei Zidao¡¯s question because he said what he needed to say, show off what he could show and had even boast about himself without batting an eyelid. Indeed, everything he said was real but there were indeed some parts where he exaggerated to make it seem more impressive. Why was he able to escape the combined attacks of four Grand Emperors? It was only because of Da Huang, who was also an Immortal Emperor himself. Da Huang exchanged its life for his safety before he made used of the power of the four Grand Emperors to tear open a gap in space as he made his escape from there. If it wasn¡¯t for all these methods and luck, even his bones would have turned into ashes. How could Wei Zidao not know Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions? Mo Wuji wanted him to make a decision by stating all these conditions. He could choose to work with Mo Wuji, join Mo Wuji¡¯s Ping Fan or even rent out a piece for land for Mo Wuji. The first decision he had to make would signify the relationship between himself and Mo Wuji. Wei Zidao bowed respectfully before saying, "Immortal Friend Mo, I am a unconstrained person so I am temporarily unable to join your Ping Fan. However, I am willing to collaborate with Immortal Friend Mo by forming an alliance together." At this instance, Wei Zidao managed to calm himself down because Mo Wuji¡¯s words didn¡¯t mean that he would give Wei Zidao an immortal pill to recover his soul and primordial spirit but to see Wei Zidao¡¯s decision before making his own decision. He longed for Mo Wuji to give him the immortal pill but the pity was that he was able to join Mo Wuji¡¯s school unconditionally. Mo Wuji was slightly disappointed because he was indeed trying to get Wei Zidao to join his Ping Fan. As long as Wei Zidao joined his Ping Fan, Mo Wuji was confident of turning him into a Grand Emperor in the shortest possible time once they escaped from the Sword Prison. After they leave this place, Mo Wuji would find Zhuo Pingan and he would have two Grand Emperors in his school. Once Ping Fan had these two Grand Emperors, he would definitely be able to match up with the Great Sword Path. He would finish off Yi Minghu before the Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School could react. No matter how vicious the Great Sword Path was, the moment Yi Minghu was killed, they would merely be an immortal school that practiced sword Dao. Since Wei Zidao made his decision, Mo Wuji could only stand up before saying. "Immortal Friend Zidao, I hope to find a quiet place in the Immortal Hunters so that I could help heal my senior sister. Once my senior sister recovered, I would head over to see Immortal Friend Shang Hegao." Mo Wuji was desperate to heal Han Qingru and besides healing her, there was an even more important matter regarding Han Qingru¡¯s immortal lattice condensed from immortal lattice stones. For an ordinary immortal, this would indeed be the best kind of immortal lattice. The immortal lattice stones, which contained all sorts of peak grade grand Dao spirituality, were formed by the sea of consciousness of ancient experts who had fallen. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t intrigued by it and moreover, using the immortal lattice stones to condense immortal lattice would make one vulnerable to being possessed. Mo Wuji intended to heal Han Qingru first before completely removing the hidden danger within Han Qingru¡¯s immortal lattice. Others might find it troublesome to resolve this but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel the same because of his Undying World as well as Breath of Hongmeng. If all these didn¡¯t work out, he would get Han Qingru to try cultivating using meridians. Since he was going to heal Han Qingru, he needed a safe and quiet place. Wei Zidao was the single chief of the Vine Mountain of Safety so forming an alliance with Wei Zidao and then finding a safe place here to reside in temporarily would be the best case scenario. "This is not a problem because within 200 metres radius of my place, the sword qi are much lesser than any other place. I will bring you over to search for a place for you to stay." As Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mention anything about helping him recover his soul and primordial spirit, Wei Zidao was slightly disappointed. Even if he felt disappointed, Wei Zidao still treated Mo Wuji enthusiastically. Mo Wuji took out a pill before handing it to Wei Zidao, "Immortal Friend Zidao, try this pill and see if it¡¯s effective." A Zhi Nature Pill to Wei Zidao¡¯s soul and primordial spirit would be like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood; an utterly inadequate measure. However, Mo Wuji made his intentions clear by offering him this pill. As long as Wei Zidao grew interest in his Zhi Nature Pill, he would have a chance to bring this Immortal Emperor, who could only await his death meaninglessly, over to his camp. "Many thanks Sect Head Mo," A trace of excitement flashed across Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes as he grabbed the pill given by Mo Wuji and swallowed it without even inspecting it. He was excited not because of the pill but because he really wanted to know if his soul and primordial spirit could truly be recovered. Deep in his heart, he still had doubts over the words of Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji was aware that even though Wei Zidao swallowed the pill very quickly, his spiritual will had already scanned the pill for at least a few times in the instance he swallowed it. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t bothered by this act because if he was Wei Zidao, he might even inspect the pill for a while before swallowing it. The moment the pill entered his mouth, Wei Zidao could hear a faint humming sound coming from his sea of consciousness. Following which, his exploding soul started to calm itself down and the pain he had been feeling instantly disappeared. In fact, even his dississipating primordial spirit stabilised itself at the same moment. The excitement in Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes could no longer be concealed because if he still had his doubts for Mo Wuji¡¯s words previously, he now trust every word said by Mo Wuji after swallowing the Zhi Nature Pill. Mo Wuji gave him a unique grade Zhi Nature Pill and how many people in this Immortal World could obtain such an immortal pill? Without mentioning that he was in the Sword Prison now, even if he was in the Immortal World, he wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain such an immortal pill. This pill made Wei Zidao started to seriously reconsider if he should join Ping Fan. He knew that Mo Wuji would definitely not casually bring out such precious immortal pills just from his words that he would join Ping Fan. There would definitely be all sorts of terms and conditions. "Wei Zidao, my Devil Hand wouldn¡¯t violate or offend your Immortal Hunters normally but it didn¡¯t mean that I, Pang Hong, would be fearful of you," At this instance, a cold and sharp voice could be heard as a strong spiritual will was sent right across the hall. Wei Zidao¡¯s face turned ugly because he knew why Pang Hong would dare to barge in so arrogantly. Fei Ling was wanted by Pang Hong so now that Fei Ling was here, Pang Hong would evidently think that he violated the Vine Mountain of Safety¡¯s agreement and accepted Devil Hand¡¯s traitor. Additionally, the gorgeous woman that Mo Wuji was carrying in his arms was someone that Pang Hong wanted. The reason why Pang Hong didn¡¯t force her to stay was not because he didn¡¯t care but because he knew that after a while more, this woman would come looking for him again. Now that this woman was rescued by Mo Wuji and with Fei Ling following behind Mo Wuji too, it would be odd if Pang Hong, who just returned from the Sword Qi River, didn¡¯t act out violently. "Sect Head Mo, please hold on while I go check it out," Wei Zidao grunted before walking out of the door. Mo Wuji knew that Pang Hong was here for Han Qingru and Fei Ling so he would naturally not wait here, "Immortal Friend Zidao, since we are working together, let¡¯s face the problem together. How can I let Immortal Friend Zidao handle this alone?" "Alright, Sect Head Mo truly didn¡¯t disappoint. Let¡¯s go out together then," Wei Zidao chuckled. ¡­ Mo Wuji walked out of the hall of the Immortal Hunters and he instantly saw six people at the entrance. It could be perhaps of the long period of exposure to sword qi because the aura of these six people didn¡¯t seem strong. Even so, Mo Wuji could tell that there were at least five Immortal Emperors while the last one was a Quasi Emperor. His heart was shocked because initially, he already found it impressive that the founders of the three powers were Immortal Emperors. Who would have expected that right now, there was a total of six Immortal Emperors, including Wei Zidao, standing in front of him? Very soon, Mo Wuji noticed that this six people were split into two forces. The leader on the left should be an expert in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. He had long hair, looked elegant and his eyes brought along a trace of evil within it. Mo Wuji guessed that this person could be Devil Hand¡¯s Pang Hong. Among the six people, there were at least two Immortal Emperors and one Quasi Emperor standing behind this man. On the other side, there was only two people and the one infront was a fair skin middle age man. He was also in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage while the person with him was in the elementary Immortal Emperor Stage. Wei Zidao looked slightly fearful at the sight of these six people. In terms of individual strength, he might be slightly stronger than Pang Hong. In terms of collective strength, he would need to work fight alongside the Righteousness Mountain to be able to go against the Devil Hand. Pang Hong¡¯s Devil Hand had a total of three Immortal Emperors, two Quasi Immortals and even more Immortal Reverents. The Righteousness Mountain had two Immortal Emperors. One of them was founder of Righteousness Mountain, Shang Hegao while the other was Nie Chongan, elementary Immortal Emperor. Even though Wei Zidao was an advanced Immortal Emperor, he had no Immortal Emperors or even Immortal Reverents with him. All these while, he had been in an alliance with the Righteousness Mountain¡¯s Shang Hegao and had barely managed to be a match for Pang Hong¡¯s Devil Hand. Today, Shang Hegao was standing beside Pang Hong against him so what on earth was happening? If the Righteousness Mountain were to combine forces with the Devil Hand, his Immortal Hunters wouldn¡¯t exist for much longer. "What is the meaning of these?" Wei Zidao¡¯s tone was slightly cold as he looked intently at Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. Pang Hong sneered, "Wei Zidao, I didn¡¯t bother you previously because we had already talk things over. Today, you took the initiative to provoke my Devil Hand by taking away my traitor as well as the woman I wanted, tsk¡­" Following Pang Hong¡¯s cold grunt, killing intent seemed to seep through from outside of the Vine Mountain of Safety. Chapter 692: Leaving So Easily? Chapter 692: Leaving So Easily? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes fell on Shang Hegao because at this moment, Shang Hegao¡¯s attitude was the most important. If Shang Hegao chose to ignore Pang Hong, he would attack instantly. A scum like Pang Hong should be punched in the face for being men over to the entrance of his Immortal Hunters. Shang Hegao used his peripheral vision to glance at Mo Wuji hugging Han Qingru before saying faintly, "Brother Zidao, the Vine Mountain of Safety is only able to become our safe haven because we respected each other and maintained the balance. Today, Brother Zidao violated the rules by bringing someone from the outside in and even kept the traitor of the Devil Hand. Therefore, I would have to stand with Brother Pang on this matter." Wei Zidao laughed faintly, "Shang Hegao, seems like you found yourself a good backing ah. Since this is the case, there is nothing much for us to rattle on about so let¡¯s fight if that¡¯s what you want. I, Weizidao, fear no one so come at me." Shang Hegao¡¯s voice turned cold, "Brother Zidao, please don¡¯t misunderstand. No matter how strong you are, you are only one person strong. I have five Immortal Emperors here so do you really want to fight this battle alone?" Mo Wuji raised his hand and threw a jade vase to Wei Zidao, "Immortal Friend Zidao, finish these pills before anything else." Wei Zidao took over the jade vase pleasingly because the instance he opened the vase, his spiritual will detected three Zhi Nature Pills inside. Currently, why would Wei Zidao care about Shang Hegao¡¯s words as he instantly threw all three Zhi Nature Pills into his mouth. An indescribable energy eased into his sea of consciousness and his primordial spirit rapidly recovered while even though his broken soul had yet to completely stabilised, he could still attack freely now. "Many thanks Sect Head Mo," Wei Zidao clasped his fist towards Mo Wuji before taking a step out towards Pang Hong. "Attack," Pang Hong saw Wei Zidao¡¯s action and shouted furiously as he threw a punch out too. In the Vine Mountain of Safety, nobody used their magic treasures or at least not till the very end. Only an extremely rare number of people would be like Mo Wuji as he started the attack by drawing out his weapon. By drawing any magic treasure here, as long as the weapon contained immortal energy, it would provide a state for sword qi to penetrate. In order words, using magic treasure would increase the burden on oneself. Everyone knew they came here for a fight so the moment Wei Zidao attacked, Pang Hong and the two Immortal Emperors beside him started attacking too. Only the Quasi Immortal was slightly slower in his movement. Once Shang Hegao saw the stance of Wei Zidao, he wanted to join in the attack against Wei Zidao but he only took one step forward before stopping himself forcefully. Pang Hong and Wei Zidao¡¯s domains clashed against each other and his heart sank. Even though he had always thought highly of Wei Zidao, only today did he realised that he wasn¡¯t even half as strong as Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao was like the vast ocean with a constant flow of immortal energy while the gaps in his spiritual will had almost been completely patched up. Shang Hegao started to suspect and wonder if Wei Zidao¡¯s primordial spirit was even affected in the first place. "Boom boom boom!" Immortal energies clashed as it covered the entire sky above them. Pang Hong appeared like he was struck in the heart as his entire body seemed to be almost falling apart. He was already numb to pain but the lacerations of his fleshly body made him spat out arrows of blood while flying backwards. As he was flown away, he understood something. When Wei Zidao attacked, he definitely had a method to restrain the sword qi from attacking his soul and primordial spirit. Otherwise, the difference in strength between them would certainly not be that huge. One must know that the real reason why Shang Hegao was standing on his side was not because Wei Zidao broke the rules but because he, Pang Hong, had found a method to obtain large amount of Sword Qi River¡¯s water. Evidently, Shang Hegao chose to follow him because he wanted some of these water. Once he had large amount of water from the Sword Qi River and his primordial spirit recovered, he would no longer need to be restrained whenever he attacked. This was the only reason he would go against Wei Zidao in this manner. Evidently, Wei Zidao had found a similar method to recover his soul and primordial spirit. Wei Zidao¡¯s main focus was Pang Hong but as he faced the other Immortal Emperors going against him, his immortal energy brought along the same kind of force. Mo Wuji¡¯s Zhi Nature Pill gave him sufficient confidence and strength. What Wei Zidao desperately wanted to see now was Pang Hong¡¯s shocked expression after he throw out another punch once his soul stabilised. Wei Zidao was attacking so Mo Wuji would naturally not stand idle. He directly drew out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd and once he extended his domain, he swung his halberd. A spatial tearing halberd radiance Winding River descended from above as it hacked against the elementary Immortal Emperor Stage expert beside Pang Hong. The difference between Mo Wuji and the rest was that he exerted his full force without holding back. Halberd Radiance Winding River pierced through space towards the Immortal Emperor who was completely enveloped by Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was weak as he was only at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. However, his strength at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage was already able to match against experts in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage and even some weaker Immortal Kings. After entering the Sword Prison, his strength didn¡¯t decrease at all. The few Immortal Emperors behind Pang Hong had their soul and primordial spirit torn apart by the sword qi for long period of time and were already like an arrow at the end of its flight. Moreover, Wei Zidao¡¯s immortal energy was still restraining that Immortal Emperor and now that Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River was charging down at him, his domain could barely block against Mo Wuji¡¯s first halberd radiance. The second attack instantly destroyed his domain and coupled with Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain, this Immortal Emperor could no longer be bothered about the penetration of the sword qi as he drew out a saber. "Dang!" The saber continued clashing with the Winding River. The saber radiance wielded by this particular Immortal Emperor was directly ulcerated by Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance and he was swallowed by the Winding River afterwards. "Kacha!" The already weak bones of the Immortal Emperor continued to break apart under Mo Wuji¡¯s all out attack. At the sight of this Winding River almost crushing him to death, a long whip swept across and brought this Immortal Emperor away. The Winding River crashed against the ground as it created a 100 feet deep moat. The entire place fell silent at the deathly sight. Mo Wuji grabbed his Half Moon Weighted Halberd tightly while staring coldly at Shang Hegao and Panghong as he stopped attacking. The Immortal Emperor who was supposed to die at his hands was rescued by Shang Hegao¡¯s long whip. Mo Wuji was clear that the reason why he was almost able to kill an Immortal Emperor who had less than 0.001% of his actual strength was not because of Mo Wuji¡¯s own strength but also because of Wei Zidao¡¯s restriction. Now that Wei Zidao wasn¡¯t attacking, he would naturally not take the initiative to attack. After Shang Hegao rescued Pang Hong¡¯s man, he didn¡¯t do anything except to look at Mo Wuji intently before clasping his fist and asked, "May I know how do I address this Immortal Friend here?" Not only was Shang Hegao¡¯s tone serious, his attitude was respectful too. At this moment, even Pang Hong didn¡¯t continue rattling on. In fact, even Wei Zidao, who was standing beside Mo Wuji, looked fearfully at Mo Wuji. Without mentioning Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation for the time being, everyone couldn¡¯t believe how Mo Wuji was actually able to exert all his strength in using his magic treasure to attack his weapon was even a halberd, which was known for absorbing sword qi. He was currently in the Vine Mountain of Safety and if he were to be outside of the Vine Mountain of Safety and still be able to display such strength fearlessly, he would be in an invincible position. To make things more impressive, Mo Wuji was still carrying a person when he attacked. Even though Shang Hegao saved the Immortal Emperor he was about to kill, Shang Hegao wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji¡¯s main enemy as it was Pang Hong. Therefore, when Shang Hegao asked for his name, Mo Wuji replied faintly, "Ping Fan¡¯s Mo Wuji." Ping Fan¡¯s Mo Wuji? While Shang Hegao was still in confusion, Fei Ling had already stepped out and shouted, "Senior Mo is the sect head of the Immortal World¡¯s number one; Ping Fan." Shang Hegao¡¯s expression changed instantly and even Pang Hong¡¯s expression changed too. Their primordial spirit had been severely injured. Even though the water from the Sword Qi River could recover the primordial spirit and fleshly body, the recovery rate was extremely slow and large amount of water would be needed. He had only obtain so little water previously so after the clash against Wei Zidao, he finally started to feel the effects. Now that he heard that Mo Wuji was the sect head of the number one sect in the Immortal World, his expression turned even uglier. Whether this was true or false, ain¡¯t this title a little too frightening? Mo Wuji continued speaking, "Immortal Friend Shang, we don¡¯t know each other, had yet to form any feud and I had no intentions to form any kind of hatred between us. In fact, I just told Immortal Friend Wei that I had the intention to pay you a visit. But if you think that it is right for someone to bully and abuse my senior sister, come right at me. I, Mo Wuji, had faced the combined attack of Yi Minghu, Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng so why would I be concerned over one more Shang Hegao? Now that Mo Wuji had said this, both Shang Hegao and Pang Hong¡¯s heart started shivering in fear like how Wei Zidao did previously. The combined attacks of Yi Minghu, Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng? Who in this world would be able to escape from the combined attacks of these three people? This Mo Wuji in front of them was actually capable of doing so? This man could very well be the sect head of the number one sect of the Immortal World. Through the many years in the Sword Prison, there had been countless of change in the Immortal World so nothing was impossible. "Brother Shang, let me just tell you the truth. My Sect Head wasn¡¯t captured and thrown into the Sword Prison as he came in voluntarily to rescue someone," Fei Ling instantly promoted himself to be a member of Ping Fan. As for how he addressed Shang Hegao, he couldn¡¯t be bothered any more. If he was outside without Mo Wuji, why would he dare to address an Immortal Emperor as a brother? He would only bow his head and address him as senior. Shang Hegao took in a deep breath before clasping his fist towards Mo Wuji, "Sect Head Mo¡¯s words are too serious. My Righteousness Mountain would only stand on a neutral position and is not here to go against Sect Head Mo. Naturally, my Righteousness Mountain would not help Sect Head Mo if he chose to deal with anyone else. My Righteousness Mountain shall remain neutral here in the Vine Mountain of Safety." After saying this, Shang Hegao took a few steps backwards and the few Immortal Emperors with him followed suit. His current action made it appear like whatever he said when he first arrived and how he rescued an Immortal Emperor of the Devil Handno longer had anything to do with him. Mo Wuji laughed coldly because he despised people like Shang Hegao the most. He had just arrived at the Vine Mountain of Safety and was considered an outsider so he would naturally not take the initiative to form a feud with Shang Hegao now. "Let¡¯s go," Pang Hong stared coldly at Mo Wuji before turning in his attempt to leave. "Pang Hong, are you leaving so easily?" Mo Wuji¡¯s cold voice could be heard because to Mo Wuji, Shang Hegao might be considered as a passerby but the fact that Pang Hong actually dare to think of violating Han Qingru made his blood boil. Chapter 693: Vine Mountain Of Safety Chapter 693: Vine Mountain Of Safety Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What do you want to do? Show me whatever you¡¯ve got, I, Pang Hong, am not afraid." After Pang Hong heard that Mo Wuji wanted to force him to stay, his aura instantly exploded outwards. As he cooled down a moment later, he suspected whether Mo Wuji was really the sect head of the number one sect. Somehow Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level didn¡¯t seem to surpass Immortal King Stage. How could a mere ant, that wasn¡¯t even an Immortal King, try to make him stay behind? At this point his strength had declined significantly, hence Mo Wuji¡¯s battle prowess was not something to look down on regardless of his actual cultivation level. Add Wei Zidao¡¯s strength into the picture, and Pang Hong would not dare to carry on. What infuriated him the most was that he didn¡¯t choose to fight his way out of this because Mo Wuji had kept him here. Although he, Pang Hong, was like a dragon trapped in sand, he hasn¡¯t dropped to the level that could be threatened by an ant. With a wave of his hand, Pang Hong shot out a warning signal. At the Vine Mountain of Safety, everyone avoided using spiritual will as far as possible. Short tens of breaths later, many figures speedily arrived, surrounding the territory of the Immortal hunters. However, Wei Zidao¡¯s expression did not change. He was different from Mo Wuji in the sense that he clearly knew that numbers meant nothing at the Vine Mountain of Safety. After a battle began, no one would risk their lives. The only people that had any effect were the experts at Immortal Reverent or above, while the rest were insignificant. Although his Immortal Hunters had fewer members than Devil Hand, they had a similar number of experts at Immortal Reverent Stage or stronger. Despite Wei Zidao not firing off any signal, the members of Immortal Hunters had arrived too. "Sect Head Mo, if we can avoid it, I would recommend not fighting. Even though Pang Hong had just taken a hit, in reality, he had many tricks up his sleeves. We might be able to finish him off in the end, but we¡¯ll have to pay a hefty price too. Of course, if Sect Head Mo really wants to attack, I, Wei Zidao, will be on your side." Wei Zidao sent this message secretly to Mo Wuji. Yet, Mo Wuji remained silent. Wei Zidao¡¯s words sent a clear message across: don¡¯t expect too much from the strength that isn¡¯t yours. Wei Zidao had spoken nicely, but if a battle really broke out, he would definitely hold back. If Pang Hong really put his life on the line, while Wei Zidao fought with self-preservation as a priority, which would make Mo Wuji lose out. Immediately, Shang Hegao could feel the tense atmosphere, and stepped forward to speak, "Brother Pang, Sect Head Mo, let me be the middleman. Previously Brother Pang did not know that woman is Sect Head Mo¡¯s senior sister, and he only spoke to her, but he did not attack her in any way. Since everyone did not lose anything, and Sect Head Mo just arrived at this location, why don¡¯t the both of you give each other some leeway? Brother Pang will give a piece of land on the Vine Mountain of Safety to Sect Head Mo, so that you may have a place to set up camp, and Sect Head Mo can forget about the things that happened in the past. Everyone will not bear any grudges against each other this way. In the future, we¡¯ll live according to the peaceful rules of the mountain, how about that?" After listening to Wei Zidao¡¯s words, Mo Wuji had already eliminated the option of fighting. Since Wei Zidao was not willing to go all out, he would definitely not be able to triumph over Pang Hong. The moment Sheng Hegao finished speaking, Pang Hong coldly added on, "My Devil Hand has a lot of land, but my men live on most of it. If I do give any up, I can only offer the piece that forms a 5km radius around the sword qi whirlpool, and not a single inch other than that." Pang Hong¡¯s tone did not reflect any hint of weakness, but his statement made it clear that he did not want to fight with Mo Wuji, and wanted to take a step back. All eyes were on Mo Wuji, waiting for his response. Whether a fight would occur depended on what choice he made. Now, Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze fell onto Fei Ling. Fei Ling could arrogantly face Shang Hegao, yet did not dare to look Pang Hong in the eyes. The shadow of being abused by Pang Hong hadn¡¯t disappeared from his heart. It didn¡¯t matter how afraid of Pang Hong he was, Mo Wuji still looked towards him for advice. However, he did not dare to remain quiet. Mo Wuji was his new master, so who would want a minion like him that did not dare to speak from the start? "Sect head, that sword qi whirlpool is very dangerous. At the Vine Mountain of Safety, that sword qi whirlpool is also called the whirlpool of death. Only death awaits those who go close to the sword qi whirlpool, because it will pull people in, and the terrifying sword qi inside will tear a person to shreds. No matter how strong you are, it¡¯s no use." Fei Ling explained, Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji frowned. Staying close to such a location didn¡¯t seem to be a safe choice. "However¡­" Fei Ling hesitated before he carried on, "As long as you don¡¯t go close to the whirlpool, nothing will happen to you." "How long has the whirlpool existed?" Mo Wuji probed. "It¡¯s rumored that the sword qi whirlpool was there since the Vine Mountain of Safety was discovered. It has been at least tens of thousands of years." This time, Fei Ling replied quickly. Mo Wuji nodded his head. Since tens of thousands of years had passed, the sword qi whirlpool probably didn¡¯t pose a great threat. Moreover, he wasn¡¯t planning on staying at the Vine Mountain of Safety for long. "Immortal Friend Fei Ling is right. The Vine Mountain of Safety was discovered because Immortal Emperor Ding He used his own strength to destroy the restriction sword talisman of Great Sword Path, which opened up the restriction binding the mountain. Before this, not a single soul survived after entering Sword Prison." Wei Zidao spoke approvingly. "Immortal Emperor Ding He?" Mo Wuji never heard of this guy since he came. If he was that prominent, this shouldn¡¯t be the case. It was unsure whether Shang Hegao was trying to mend his relationship with Mo Wuji, but he still took the initiative to respond, Immortal Emperor Ding he perished from exhaustion after opening the concealment restriction over the Vine Mountain of Safety. We can benefit today thanks to his efforts." "Ok, I want this 5km radius of land." Mo Wuji directly said after understanding the situation. Staying on the territory of the Immortal Hunters would make him a guest, while he could only establish himself with land to call his own. Hearing that Mo Wuji had accepted Pang Hong¡¯s land, Wei Zidao and Shang Hegao heaved a sigh of relief. Regardless which of them it was, neither one wanted to fight a large scale battle here. After all, the Vine Mountain of Safety was where they set up camp, and battling here would destroy all of the crisscrossing vines. Who knew whether the mountain would still be able to protect them from the sword qi like before when the vines were gone? Pang Hong¡¯s face went sullen. Mo Wuji only said that he accepted the land offered to him, but made no mention of the grudge between them. It seemed like this grudge would not disappear just because of this small plot of land. If Pang Hong knew this in advance, he wouldn¡¯t have given it away. However, he could not take back his words now. Actually, Wei Zidao also wanted to cosy up with Mo Wuji too, hence after Mo Wuji accepted the land offered by Pang Hong, he quickly added on, "Since it¡¯s like that, my 5km radius of land near to the sword qi whirlpool is also Sect Head Mo¡¯s." This action stunned Shang Hegao. Since Pang Hong and Wei Zidao had given up their land, how could he not follow suit? Even if he didn¡¯t offend Mo Wuji previously, it seemed that not giving up his land now would do so. When he thought of this, Shang Hegao chuckled, "Since both of them gave up land of 5km radius each, I, Shang Hegao, naturally can¡¯t fall behind. I¡¯ll give up another 5km of land next to the sword qi whirlpool for Sect Head Mo." "If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to thank all of you." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully as he thanked everyone. Pang Hong didn¡¯t want to fight a battle, so he gave up 5km of land. Wei Zidao wanted the Zhe Nature Pill, so he gave up 5km of land too. Lastly, Shang Hegao couldn¡¯t act as though as he didn¡¯t know anything, hence he could only give up 5km of land too. This way, Mo Wuji¡¯s land totaled 15km in radius. To someone that just arrived at the Vine Mountain of Safety, this was an extremely ridiculous thing. However, Mo Wuji did not let this get to his head. These three guys gave up their land with a goal in each of their minds. His land was also surrounded by theirs too, which meant that he could only escape to the sword qi whirlpool if they decided to join forces against him. It was absurd to think that Wei Zidao, Pang Hong, and Shang Hegao didn¡¯t reach this conclusion too. Thankfully, his strength still had some significance here, as the inhabitants of the Vine Mountain of Safety probably saw him as an outsider. "Everyone, I¡¯m a little tired from my journey, and still have to settle my new land, so I won¡¯t stay much longer." Mo Wuji did not fear the hidden intentions of those three, because he was a Grade 6 immortal array master, on top of being able to ignore sword qi. He had advanced to Grade 6 immortal array master after entering the Sword Prison too. While there were some defensive arrays in Devil Hand¡¯s, Righteousness Mountain¡¯s, and Immortal Hunter¡¯s territories, they could not hold a candle to Grade 6 immortal arrays. "If Sect Head Mo needs any help, please feel free to ask. We, Immortal Hunters, might not be able to bring out our Immortal Emperor, but there are still some capable hands on our side." Wei Zidao didn¡¯t forget to spite Devil Hand¡¯s Pang Hong with his words. This was simply because the chance to regain his strength was right in front of him, hence he did not want to create a ruckus at the Vine Mountain of Safety. "Thank you Immortal Friend Zidao, but I won¡¯t need any help for the moment." Mo Wuji turned around and left after finishing his sentence. In his heart, he laughed coldly to himself. What Wei Zidao meant was very clear, and to that, he only had one response: you¡¯re thinking too much. If Wei Zidao well all out against Pang Hong previously, he might have really given a Zhi Nature Pill to Wei Zidao. But now, Wei Zidao could only continue dreaming. The Zhi Nature Pills belonged to him, Mo Wuji, and not Wei Zidao. As for Wei Zidao¡¯s 5km of land, his four Zhi Nature Pills should have been sufficient compensation. Pang Hong¡¯s land was considered as payment for the threats made towards Han Qingru. Finally, for Shang Hegao, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about such a two-faced guy. His 5km of land was taken as atonement for his sins. To Mo Wuji, his top priority now was to set up shop, and a defensive array, in his land soon. ¡­ Chapter 694: I Want To Speak Up For Mo Wuji Too Chapter 694: I Want To Speak Up For Mo Wuji Too Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The most exciting location in the seven immortal domains was definitely Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. When Mo Wuji headed to the Sword Prison, the geniuses and experts from all immortal domains headed towards Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. This was because two very significant events were about to happen there. The first was arrival of the envoy from the Very High Heavens, who planned to force open the fourth level of Broken World. Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s first and second levels contained many types of precious immortal herbs, immortal equipment of tier five and above as well as manuals for cultivation. That was why the opening of Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s third level was not attractive to many experts; the immortal herbs and materials presented little value to them. Experts flocked to the Sharphorn Immortal ruins upon hearing the emergence of the Book of Luo, Dao Fruit of the Draining Immortal King, Metal Element Bead and even the Red Karmic Fire Lotus from the third level of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin,. The emergence of these treasures prompted experts from the Very High Heavens to attempt to breach the fourth level. All experts from the Immortal Domain, let alone ones from the Very High Heavens felt that the fourth level would contain even better treasures. The opportunity to go to the Very High Heavens was another reason why many cultivators flocked to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. It was the place cultivators from the Immortal Emperor cultivation level to a low level cultivator yearned to go. It was rumored that the Very High Heavens had a complete set of rules for the Heavens and Earth and crystal clear traces of Dao. It was said that training in the Very High Heavens would allow one to train much more efficiently. It was a pity that the envoy from the Very High Heavens only recruited small numbers of disciples each time, with strict requirements. The interval between each recruitment was dreadfully long as well. The delightful news was that the Very High Heavens lowered their requirements from recruitment this time round. Four star geniuses could be recruited, even those who have yet to attained four star genius but have shown talent had the opportunity to go to the Very High Heavens. This news was almost too good to be true. Past recruitments into the Very High Heavens required potential disciples to be at least of nine star genius level, even eight star geniuses stood little chance of going to the Very High Heavens. This shocking news was the reason why countless geniuses flocked to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. There wasn¡¯t anyone who did not want to enter the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s Fourth level, nor was there anyone who did not want to go to the Very High Heavens. ... Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s garden was the most luxurious and beautiful place in Sharphorn Immortal Ruin. Almost all opening of the Broken World or major activities in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins happened in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s gardens. The opening of the fourth level of the Broken World in addition to the massive recruitment by the Very High Heavens in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin had caused the gardens to be packed to the brim every day. Countless geniuses and top disciples from many great Immortal Sects gathered in the garden. Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu too gathered amongst the many geniuses and experts in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s gardens. Yan Yuerong¡¯s great grandfather Yan Tian was an honored Immortal expert in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Yan Yuerong was also held in high regard in the domain, even the owner of High Immortal City would give her his regards. Yan Yuerong was however a nobody in the Sharphorn Immortal Run, any passerby was likely to have a much higher status than she did. Evidently, Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu knew of this, the two were merely drinking some Immortal Spiritual tea in the corners of the garden, wanting to get to know a genius or two. Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s garden was also the place immortals from all over the world competed. Genius from various Immortal Sects gathered to boast about their own Sect¡¯s status. Immortals from various Immortals Domains couldn¡¯t care less about the behavior of the geniuses. It was the immortals of low cultivation level and rouge disciples who dared not speak loudly. They only cared to look for opportunities to meet experts from all over the world. The hot topics often included the recruitment by the Very High Heavens, the emergence of which new treasures in the Broken World¡¯s third level and also what treasures might be discovered in the fourth level. "I heard that the Red Karnic Fire Lotus was not discovered. Many entered the third level but not could find it¡­.." "No one would have told you even if the Red Karnic Fire Lotus was discovered and taken away." "The emergence of the Red Karnic Fire Lotus in a place like Sharphorn Immortal Ruin would bound to be publicized. Everyone knew about Mo Wuji obtaining the Metal Elemental Bead and the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit Tree. Everyone also knew about Murong Xiangyu obtaining the Book of Luo!" "Rightly said, but who knows where Murong Xiangyu or Mo Wuji is now?" "Wasn¡¯t it said that Mo Wuji was murdered? He committed many atrocities and would obtain treasures unscrupulously. Jing Xing An master and disciple were both murdered by him." "Even so, Mo Wuji managed to obtain many treasures. Notwithstanding the Metal Elemental Bead and the Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, he also obtained the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, treasures of the dragon race as well as treasures from the pagodas of various immortals, enough for him to reach many new levels¡­." "My dragon race was slaughtered by this man, I Ao Yulu swear to take revenge or I am not a member of the dragon race." A towering voice broke the chattering amongst the crowd. Everyone was merely gossiping about the recent events; but this voice was different, it was filled with emotions. "I feel that we should not jump to hasty conclusions. Did anyone of you actually see Mo Wuji kill the Jing Xin An master and disciple or the Dragon Race? It might just be a false rumor after all." Someone said gently. "And who might you be? How dare you say that Mo Wuji had nothing to do with the death of my Dragon Race?" Ao Yulu turned suddenly turned and shouted at her. "I recognize her, she is the daughter of the owner of the Water Ying Immortal City, Wen Lianxi. Water Ying Immortal City could not have become a high grade Immortal City without the help of Mo Wuji. It was said that Kui Fengyun of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain suffered financial losses due to Mo Wuji as well, it was curious that they did not punish Water Ying Immortal City. It is no wonder she stood up for Mo Wuji. Hehehe¡­." An eccentric voice added. It was indeed Wen Lianxi that stood up for Mo Wuji. She like many others came here in hopes to go to the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji robbing Kui Fengyun of his Immortal Emperor treasure was a well-known event, Wen Lianxi¡¯s family knew of it as well. Wen Lianxi¡¯s father even reconciled with the fact that his family might be killed. Unexpectedly, Kui Fengyun went into a state of closure after the alchemy competition, never to be heard from again. Miraculously, Water Ying Immortal City and Wen Lianxi¡¯s family could live peacefully again. Wen Lianxin still constantly felt danger lurking everywhere in the city, but the family dared not move out of the city. Wen Lianxi wanted to take advantage of the recruitment by Very High Heavens to go to the Very High Heavens. Her Wen family could finally not have to live in fear should she managed to go to the Very High Heavens. As a disciple of an small Immortal Domain¡¯s Immortal City¡¯s owner, Wen Lianxi dared not to speak loudly in public. But she could not stand hearing others slandering Mo Wuji as her family was in Mo Wuji¡¯s debt, so she stood out and defended Mo Wuji. "That is right, I am Wen Lianxi. I know Mo Wuji, he is not the person you all made him out to be. I once misunderstood him as well, but he was in fact a man with a big heart¡­." "Shut up Wen Lianxi, do you not think that I Ao Yulu dared to kill you? You and the murderer Mo Wuji are jackals of the same tribe. I will lay waste of you even if it means doing it in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s garden." Ao Yulu interrupted Wen Lianxi as he charged towards her. Although it was said that crimes cannot be committed in the garden, participants of this event couldn¡¯t care less. Each one of them was filled with energy and couldn¡¯t wait for something to happen. No one would stop Ao Yulu should he chose to murder Wen Lianxi here. Color flushed from Wen Lianxi¡¯s face. She was merely a Xuan Immortal and could do nothing but await death against a Grand Luo Immortal like Ao Yulu. She calmly said: "I will speak up for Mo Wuji even if you were to kill me." "I dare you to lay a finger on her." Another voice boomed, this was the voice of a young person. Ao Yulu stopped abruptly, she stared blankly at the people walking towards. She could not believe her eyes and stammered: "Ao Xia, Sang Zi, you guys, you guys¡­" "You were looking forward to our deaths, weren¡¯t you?" Ao Xia said coldly. "Are you guys really fine?" Ao Yulu was genuinely happy, disregarding Ao Xia¡¯s icy tone. Sensing that Ao Xia still wanted to continue ridiculing Ao Yulu, Ao Sangzi blocked Ao Xia. She said: "Greetings my fellow immortals, I am Ao Sangzi and this is my cousin Ao Xia. We are here with the intent to go to the Very High Heavens, but we also have to publicly announce something, or we will be remorseful our entire lives." The crowd quietened, many knew that Ao Sangzi and Ao Xia were geniuses of the Dragon Race which disappeared after the massacre of the Dragon Race. Everyone thought that the pair had been murdered, unexpectedly they were still alive. Ao Sangzi¡¯s statement meant that the secrets behind the massacre of the Dragon Race was soon to be revealed. Who would not want to know about such secrets? Ao Sangzi still refused to look at Ao Yulu, and said: "A few years ago, a man donning yellow and a man donning gold came to the Dragon Race of the West Moat Ocean and massacred the Dragon Race of the West Moat Ocean. We too would have been killed if we had not met Mo Wuji. He risked his life to save us, he risked it again to send out safely away. It was only then that we managed to find experts of the Dragon Race and survive." "Throughout the ordeal, Mo Wuji never once demanded anything from us. We initially wanted to cultivate in closure, but we could no longer stand hearing about our own race slandering Mo Wuji. I could stand it no more but to tell the truth¡­" "You siblings are still young¡­." Ao Sangzi raised her arm and interrupted Ao Yulu, she took out a crystal ball and said: "This was the crystal ball from then. Everyone will know who is young and immature once you see this!" Chapter 695: Establishing a Footing Chapter 695: Establishing a Footing Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A man donning a yellow robe was muttering furiously to himself near a pool of blood. Anyone could tell he was the one who massacred the dragon race of the West Moat Ocean. "Who is this unfamiliar face?" someone asked. "How could an expert of such caliber be unknown in the Immortal Realm? He must have been disfigured." Another answered. Au Yulu¡¯s faced flushed red with embarrassment. Over the years, she spreaded hatred of Mo Wuji wherever she went. Reality hit her hard, the person she had been shaming all these years turned out to be the sole benefactor of her race. At this moment, she felt like someone was who bite the hand that fed her. "Au Yulu, our race pride ourselves with repaying kindness with gratitude. You didn''t even bother finding out the truth, but instead chose repay Mo Wuji¡¯s kindness towards us by ruining his reputation." Au Sangzi said coldly. "Even if that was so, why did he not bother explaining to me¡­." Au Yulu broke off halfway through her speech. She realised she had refused to listen despite Mo Wuji¡¯s attempt at explaining. Back then, she refused to listen to Mo Wuji when he explained that it was not him who commited the crime and that things were not what they looked like. The crowd understood what was going on from the look on Au Yulu¡¯s face. Au Sangzi said indifferently: "I believe that you refused to give brother Wuji a chance to explain did you? Mo Wuji was of a low cultivation level when he rescued us, he could never have stood a chance against a Grand Luo Immortal like you. Our race would forever hang our head in shame should he have died in your hands." "I am so sorry that i¡¯ve wronged him." Au Yulu walked up to Wen Lianxi and bowed as apology. She understood what had happened then, there was no doubt why Mo Wuji was covered in blood in such a situation. She was honourable to have apologised upon knowing her mistakes. Wen Lianxi calmly said: "There is no need for your apologies, I do not have the seniority to accept your it, nor will we become friends in the future. I just believe that brother Wuji would not commit such atrocities and did not wish for him to be wronged." Wen Lianxi would not forgive Au Yulu no matter how many times she apologised. In her eyes, the Au Yulu was the reason why so many people were incited to kill brother Wuji. "Didn¡¯t I say Pill Refiner Mo would never do such things." "What about the time he murdered Jing Xing An master and disciple and the time he stole the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp?" "How could you be sure Mo Wuji stole the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp when you had not seen it with your own eyes? Didn¡¯t Au Yulu accuse Mo Wuji of massacring the dragon race? We all know what happened in the end." ... People who originally planned to crusade against Mo Wuji all had a change of heart upon hearing Au Sangzi¡¯s explanation. "The arrival of the envoy from the Very High Heavens!" A voice towered over the chattering crowd, silencing it at once. The dense crowd parted, forming a pathway. There was order again amongst the many immortals in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s garden. A man of great youth and stunning looks walked through the crowd. His minimalistic black robe exemplified his superior aura. The immortals in Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s garden stood in shock. It was common for them to have even seen the highest of all cultivation, the Immortal Emperor. The young man who donned a black robe had an aura no weaker than any Immortal Emperor. It was very possible that a man of such young age was one himself. A man and women stood beside the young man who donned a black robe. The man was tall, lanky, and had wide palms. His gaze could be felt even though his eyes looked to be closed. There was nothing ordinary about this ordinary looking man. His body seemingly contained an explosive force that struck fear into the hearts of others. The women had exceptional beauty, she was like a goddess in the morning fog, gentle and fleeting. She looked dignified yet frivolous. "I am Jin Yu, the envoy representing the Very High Heavens for the recruitment of disciples." The gentle and welcoming tone of the man diffused the heightened tension within the crowd. "There is no need for worry, the Very High Heavens aims to have a massive recruitment this time round. Even cultivators who are four star genius but possessed potential would have a chance to enter the Very High Heavens¡­" Many let out a sigh of relief upon hearing what Jin Yu said. Most present were above four star geniuses. Moreover, the envoy said that even those who were not four star geniuses had a chance of entering the Very High Heavens. "Additionally your sect and duration of cultivation would play no role in the selection process. As long as you can prove your worth to me here and now, you will be able to enter the Very High Heavens. Standing beside me are two great examples, we have Lei Hongjie from the Lightning Sect and Ji Yue from the Yong Ying Immortal Realm." All eyes fell on the pair that stood next to Jin Yu. They were envious of the pair for being selected even before the official selection process started. Jin Yu smiled and said: "Lei Hongjie had managed to reach the peak of the intermediate stage of the Grand Luo Immortal with less than a hundred years of cultivation. This was why he was selected. Ji Yue was a rouge disciple. She did not have stable resources nor the support of her family. Nonetheless she was able to reach the stage of the Grand Yi Immortal as a mere four star genius. This was why she too was selected to enter the Very High Heavens." Jin Yu¡¯s words changed the crowds opinions of the pair. Lei Hongjie must have possessed immense aptitude for cultivation to be able to reach the intermediate stage of the Grand Luo Immortal in less than a hundred years. Even the Nine Star Geniuses that was selected from the previous recruitment could not hold a candle against Lei Hongjie. Although Ji Yue was not as good as Lei Hongjie, it was remarkable that she was able to advance to the level of Grand Yi Immortal in such a short time as only a four star genius. Jin Yu sensed the admiration the crowd had for the pair, and continued: "There is no need for anyone to envy Lei Hongjie or Ji Yue. The opening of the Fourth Level of the Broken world presents new opportunities for everyone. One can obtain new resources in the Fourth Level to aid in their qualification for the Very High Heavens¡­." The geniuses in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruin¡¯s garden all hardened their resolve to obtain enough resources in the Fourth Level of the Broken World to fight for a place in the Very High Heavens. "I¡¯ve heard about the abilities of a newbie called Mo Wuji. Does anyone know his whereabouts?" His scanned through the crowd and he spoke, looking for a response. The crowd grew solem as no dared speak. ... Mo Wuji had only focused on defending his territory with arrays in the nine days since he obtained it. He had also set-up deathtrap arrays and monitoring arrays on top of his defensive arrays, to alert him of any intruders. Fei Ling was the only help Mo Wuji had. Fei Ling had set up a network of immortal caves as instructed in the days that Mo Wuji took to set-up the various arrays. Mo Wuji resided in the central immortal cave with Han Qingru while Fei Ling had set-up his immortal cave to the right of Mo Wuji¡¯s. Han Qingru has managed to make a full physical recovery in mere nine days with the help of Mo Wuji¡¯s healing pills and the Undying Holy Bamboo. It only a matter of time before her primordial spirit and soul made a full recovery. Even Fei Ling¡¯s body was almost fully recovered by consuming many types of immortal pills Mo Wuji possessed as an eighth grade pill emperor. "I will be imparting to you techniques of physical tampering. My techniques are effective in both resisting sword qi as well as tampering your physical body." Mo Wuji had always planned to impart Han Qingru techniques of physical tampering once the defensive arrays for the immortal cave was completed. He also planned to change Han Qingru¡¯s techniques. Mo Wuji did not have plans to go to the Undying World. What type of people lay await in the Undying World he thought. He had managed to frighten a few experts in his time here, allowing him to stay here undisturbed. However, those Immortals Emperors would tear him to shreds when they find out that he was a mere Grand Luo Immortal and that he owned the Undying World. The interaction between Mo Wuji over the past few days was very awkward for Han Qingru. She was slightly disappointed that Mo Wuji had not made any advances on her despite her confession to him. It was impossible for her to confess a second time. She managed to pick up the courage to confess to Mo Wuji when she was on the verge of death. There were still an onslaught of sword qi in the surroundings despite them being in the Vine Mountain of Safety. She had to resist the sword qi by herself in the days that Mo Wuji was setting by the arrays. Luckily for her, the presence of an immense amount of immortal pills meant that the sword qi was not very damaging to her. Han Qingru was captivated by Mo Wuji¡¯s techniques of physical tampering as she realised that the techniques Mo Wuji imparted her allowed her to easily neutralize the sword qi. She could then use the sword qi to strengthen her physical body. She wanted to try the new technique out of Vine Mountain of Safety where the sword qi was stronger, but was dissuaded by Mo Wuji who urged her to keep the technique a secret. Mo Wuji not only imparted Han Qingru with his personal physical tempering techniques, but also imparted Han Qingru the Star Sea Scared Technique. He was unable to change Han Qingru¡¯s technique as she was not suitable for his style of techniques. He could only search for another technique suitable for Han Qingru, albeit not as good as his own technique, was still many times better than Han Qingru¡¯s current techniques. As Mo Wuji was explaining the technique to Han Qingru, Fei Ling voice echoed: "Sect Head, Revered Lord Wei from the Immortal Hunters wishes to see you." "I got it, I will be there shortly. Please make him feel at home." Mo Wuji was impressed with Wei Zidao. Mo Wuji had expected Wei Zidao to visit him after five days. Unexpectedly, Wei Zidao had waited for nearly half a month before visiting him. Such patience is commendable. ... Chapter 696: Something’s Up with The Vine Mountain of Safety Chapter 696: Something¡¯s Up with The Vine Mountain of Safety Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Sect Head Mo." Once Mo Wuji came out, Wei Zidao immediately stood up and bowed respectfully while greeting him. With one look, Mo Wuji knew that Wei Zidao had regained a large portion of his strength after consuming the four Zhi Nature Pills. At least there was a sliver of an Immortal Emperor¡¯s aura coming from his body. "I¡¯ve been busy with my own territory, so forgive me for neglecting Brother Zidao. Please take a seat." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully too, gesturing for Wei Zidao to sit. If Wei Zidao wanted to ask for more Zhi Nature Pills from him, no matter what price he offered, Mo Wuji would definitely not take any more out. In reality, those four Zhi Nature Pills had broken the balance on power in the Vine Mountain of Safety, making him the strongest on the mountain. If Mo Wuji continued to give Wei Zidao any more, he would be in danger. After roaming the Immortal World for so many years, if he didn¡¯t understand this simple fact, he wouldn¡¯t have lived till this day. Wei Zidao was aware of this fact too. But precisely because of this, he did not intend to go all out when Mo Wuji was about to fight Pang Hong. However, he did not regret his actions. It was a fair trade to give up 5km of land and help diffuse a tense situation for four Zhi Nature Pills. Even if he did use all of his strength to deal with Pang Hong, Sect Head Mo probably wouldn¡¯t be willing to give him more Zhi Nature Pills either. Just like Pang Hong, he could sense that Mo Wuji probably wasn¡¯t that strong, which meant that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t allow anyone to regain enough strength to completely control the Vine Mountain of Safety. Who knew if Wei Zidao would still have came over if he knew that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t give him any pills. "It¡¯s okay Brother Mo. Those four Zhi Nature Pills were extremely useful to me. I came today especially to thank you." Wei Zidao spoke while smiling. Mo Wuji replied with a smile of his own, "Brother Zidao, we don¡¯t have to be so formal with each other. On the Vine Mountain of Safety, if we join forces, what can Pang Hong do to us? If we don¡¯t, it would just be disadvantageous for both of us." "Indeed." Wei Zidao agreed, "Although I find it hard to ask this, but I¡¯ll still try my luck. Brother Mo, do you have any more of that Zhi Nature Pill? If you do, I can accommodate any request you make." If Mo Wuji said that another 5km of land could be traded for four Zhi Nature Pills, he would immediately give up 10km. Even if Mo Wuji wanted him to give up all of Immortal Hunter¡¯s territory, there would be room for negotiation as long as Zhi Nature Pills were concerned. Apologetically, Mo Wuji responded, "I don¡¯t have that many Zhi Nature Pills either, and I¡¯ll still need some as leverage on the Vine Mountain of Safety. So there¡¯s none available at the moment. If I do make more in the future, I¡¯ll approach you to make a deal first." Although this was the conclusion he expected, and he knew that Mo Wuji had other means to protect himself, Wei Zidao still felt rather disappointed. Thankfully Mo Wuji agreed to give him some leeway for Zhi Nature Pills in the future, but it seemed like a deal would not happen unless Mo Wuji was backed in a corner. "Since that¡¯s the case, then I won¡¯t force you to give me any. I¡¯m not sure if Sect Head Mo would like to make a trip to the Sword Qi River? Recently, Pang Hong and Shang Hegao have joined forces, and they have some means to obtain large amounts of river water. If they are able to get enough of it and regain their strength, it wouldn¡¯t be good news for either of us." As an expert in advanced Immortal Emperor Stage, Wei Zidao was still rather open minded. Mo Wuji had already intended to take a look at the Sword Qi River, but he just didn¡¯t have the time as he was building up his territory. Now that Wei Zidao had invited him, he replied without hesitation, "Sure, how about we head over now?" "Sure." Wei Zidao stood up happily. He really admired how direct Mo Wuji was. ¡­ If one had to choose the most terrifying place in the Sword Prison, it would be the Sword Qi River. The sword qi within the river was very frightening. An accidental touch would cause one to perish. Just going close to the river was extremely difficult, so no one even though about entering it. But if one had to choose one¡¯s favourite place in the Sword Prison, it would still be the Sword Qi River. Precisely because of its presence, there was peace in the Vine Mountain of Safety. At the same time, the water from the river could not only repair flesh torn by sword qi, but also heal one¡¯s primordial spirit. Thus, regardless whether a person liked the Sword Qi River or not, many still sneakily went there to collect whatever river water they could. Only Devil Hand¡¯s Pang Hong, Immortal Hunters¡¯ Wei Zidao, and Righteousness Mountain¡¯s Shang Hedao openly went to the Sword Qi River. These three men had underlings who would take turns going to and fro from the riverside to collect water. This was why Fei Bing betrayed Devil Hand. If he didn¡¯t run away, he would eventually die from continuously going near the river. The Vine Mountain of Safety was completely covered in criss crossing vines. No matter where you went on the mountain, there would be various vines overlapping one another. These vines seemed to be built like a completely irregular tent, and no one knew where these vines originated from or where they led to. All they knew was that the vines grew out from underground, and were about the same as trees. "After exiting the Vine Mountain of Safety, it¡¯ll be just a few kilometers ahead." Wei Zidao explained as they wove in and out of the vines. A short moment later, both of them had exited the mountain. Once they took the first step outside, the density of sword qi increased tremendously. Wei Zidao also shut up. Although he was strong enough to withstand this level of sword qi, but withstanding it was all he could do, hence it wasn¡¯t a good time to lose focus by talking. Remaining silent would help him conserve spiritual will and immortal elemental energy. Suddenly, Mo Wuji paused, as he stared at the Vine Mountain of Safety behind him while frowning. "What¡¯s the matter Sect Head Mo?" Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s actions, Wei Zidao asked out of curiosity despite not intending to speak. "Brother Zidao, wait for a moment." After finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji entered the Vine Mountain of Safety, and came out once again. A look of confusion appeared on Mo Wuji face, and Wei Zidao stopped when he saw that. "It¡¯s nothing, let¡¯s continue heading towards Sword Qi River." Mo Wuji waved it off as he smiled. He didn¡¯t know whether it was just paranoia, but the instant he left the mountain, it felt like a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. This feeling was a little too unusual. The Vine Mountain of Safety was supposed to be the safe area, while anywhere outside it was where dangerous sword qi resided. So how could he have felt more relaxed after coming out of the mountain? Due to this weird sensation, Mo Wuji went into the mountain again. But the feeling of relief disappeared when he exited for the second time. "Did Sect Head Mo discover anything?" Wei Zidao did not completely believe what Mo Wuji had just said. With a chuckle, Mo Wuji replied, "I must be too high strung. After all, I was being hunted down by a few guys not long ago. So I probably developed a habit of being on guard, which made me a little paranoid¡­" At this moment, Mo Wuji paused again. Could his instincts really have been wrong? Back when he entered Heavenly Chasm City after exiting Gods Tower, he had sensed danger in a manner not too different from what he just experienced. He didn¡¯t care about it then, and almost got killed by a few old fogies at Da Yi Immortal City. In the end, he also lost Da Huang while escaping, while Han Qingru was thrown into the Sword Prison and almost died. This meant the feeling he just got was an indication that the Vine Mountain of Safety was a dangerous area. Taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji told himself that he would not fall like this a second time. No matter what, he would have to look for some way to leave the mountain after returning from the river. There was definitely something weird about this place. He probably couldn¡¯t sense it the second time as he had gotten used to it. Naturally, Wei Zidao could sense that something was on Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. But since Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything, he didn¡¯t probe either. Everyone had their own secrets, and that was a fact. Just as expected, every two steps they took, the stronger the sword qi became. As Wei Zidao was a resident of Sword Prison for many years, and also at advanced Immortal Emperor Stage, he had his own means to defend himself from the sword qi. While he did so, he continued to observe Mo Wuji from the side. All this while, he had questioned what Mo Wuji¡¯s actual level of strength was. Based on the spirituality Mo Wuji had, it seemed like Mo Wuji had a very low cultivation level, possibly even below Heavenly Immortal Stage. It wouldn¡¯t even be absurd to call him a mortal. But when Mo Wuji attacked, he felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was rather high, possibly at a level up to Immortal King Stage. Moreover, the sacred art of Mo Wuji greatly exceeded what an ordinary Immortal King could unleash. With that many things unusual about Mo Wuji, it made him feel that this guy was very mysterious. What was an expert like him most afraid of? Mysterious men or things. "Sect Head Mo, could you be a physique tempering expert?" A few kilometres later, Wei Zidao finally thought of what made Mo Wuji different. When the dense sword qi landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body, they looked like they slid away. Even the sword qi that made it into his body didn¡¯t seem to cause much damage. Laughing, Mo Wuji did not reply Wei Zidao¡¯s question, instead pointing at a location nearby, "Brother Zidao, it looks like Pang Hong and Shang Hegao have indeed found some method to obtain large amounts of the Sword Qi River¡¯s water." Only then did Wei Zidao notice Pang Hong and Shang Hegao in the distance. Both of them were carrying a wooden bucket together. That bucket was rather large, and a large volume of Sword Qi River water would fit in a mere one third of it. ... Chapter 697: Collecting Water From The Sword Qi River Chapter 697: Collecting Water From The Sword Qi River Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Are you really going to use a wooden bucket?" Mo Wuji chuckled at Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao replied: "A wooden bucket is the only way you can collect water from the Sword Qi River. Any items smelted from magical treasures would be corroded by the sword qi severely." His hypothesis was correct. Pang Hong and Shang Hedao had spent hours trying to fetch water from the Sword Qi River and finally found out the trick was to use a wooden bucket. Wei Zidao subconsciously increased his pace as the strengthened sword qi increased the rate of corrosion The sword qi present was no threat to Mo Wuji although it was many times stronger than usual. It had not affected his sea of consciousness, but merely injured him physically. His soul would remain unharmed as long as his sea of consciousness was not affected. Physical injuries caused by the sword qi were inconsequential to him as he was a practitioner of physical tampering. Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao was near Shang Hegao and Pang Hong when; "pfff" An arrow of blood shot out of both Shang Hegao and Pang Hong simultaneously. The pair left the river quickly after. The injury was no mere surface wound, the cut extended deep into the flesh, exposing bare bones. Mo Wuji could estimate the severity of the injury to their primordial spirit and soul even though he could not see them. Pang Hong and Shang Hegao¡¯s injuries were of no surprise to Wei Zidao. He understood the high risks involved with fetching water from the Sword Qi River. A large bucket of water from the Sword Qi River was well worth the risk in his mind. "It is impressive that you¡¯re able to relax in such an environment, Mo Sect Head." Pang Hong said to Mo Wuji coldly. Pang Hong paid no attention to Shang Hegao as he was sure Wei Zidao would not harm him here. Mo Wuji was the most relaxed and at ease although he was covered in blood just the like rest, he. Pang Hong could not feel Mo Wuji¡¯s fatigue was even though they were already at the edge of the Sword Qi River. This caused Pang Hong to suspect that Mo Wuji might also be an Immortal Emperor. Water from the Sword Qi River was extremely difficult to obtain. The level of sword qi felt was different for everyone, the higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the sword qi was. Even though that was the case, only a select few cultivators under the level of Immortal Emperor could manage to fetch water from the river. Even a high level Grand Luo Immortal could only manage to fetch a tiny cup of water each time. Mo Wuji ability to move near the Sword Qi River with relative ease reignited Wei Zidao¡¯s suspicion that Mo Wuji was an expert at physical tampering; but he could never get to the bottom of things as Mo Wuji would always change the topic when he inquired. Mo Wuji smiled and replied: "I was used to physical pain growing up in a poor family, it trained up my pain tolerance from young. It must be difficult for you have to fetched so much water at one go Immortal Pang." Pang Hong and Shang Hegao managed to almost fetch almost a bucket full of water. "Haha, Mo Sect Head should not worry about our pains." Pang Hong coldly replied. He was not fooled by the poorly crafted story from Mo Wuji. It was still unlikely that Mo Wuji would attempt anything devious here despite his lack of fear of the sword qi. Mo Wuji thought that Wei Zidao would have spoken a few words, but he remained eerily silent throughout the conversation. Mo Wuji felt uneasy about the current situation as he suspected that Wei Zidao plotted to join Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. It would be even more dangerous for him stay in the Vine Mountain of Safety should Wei Zidao chose to leave him. But he could not give Wei Zidao the Zhi Nature Pill to entice him to stay either. In his moment of panic, We Zidao chuckled and said: "Let me try fetching myself a bucket of water too." With that said, Wei Zidao walked towards the Sword Qi River. The Sword Qi River was enveloped by a thick layer of fog, much like a typical lake would be on a cool winter¡¯s morning. Mo Wuji chose to wait and observe how Wei Zidao was going to fetch the water from the Sword Qi River. Pang Hong and Shang Hegao stayed to watch too. He did not wish for Wei Zidao to discover the method to fetching large amounts of water. The corrosion was tolerable for the pair as long as they stayed out of the Sword Qi River. Wei Zida¡¯s footsteps slowed as he approached the river. Waves of sword qi cut deep into his body, streams of blood cascaded down his body, leaving bloody footprints with every step he took. However, Mo Wuji knew that the damage Wei Zidao sustained to his primordial spirit and soul was far more severe than any physical injuries he sustained. Wei Zidao¡¯s footsteps grew slow and heavy, his body trembling ever so slightly as the approached the river. Mo Wuji was unsure of what to make of the situation, Shang Hegao and Pang Hong on the other hand knew exactly what was going on. They knew that Wei Zidao must be stronger than they were as he was moving much faster than they did. Their bodies would not have been able to withstand the corrosion should they have moved at that speed. The pair slowly backed away from the river as they watched Wei Zidao. The corrosion of the sword qi weakened as they moved away from the river. Mo Wuji stood motionless watching Wei Zidao as he circulated his physical tampering techniques. Wei Zidao was enveloped in Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will projected from his spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji could even feel the vehemence of the sword qi through his spirit storage channel. Wei Zidao took the time of half a joss stick to finally reach the edge of the river. He bent down and took out a relatively small bucket. A fountain of blood shot out of Wei Zidao¡¯s mouth the moment his bucket touched the water surface. His body was covered in a fine mist a blood as he attempted to fetch the water. Wei Zidao could take it no more, he took the bucket out of the water the moment it touched the surface. Mo Wuji saw that the bucket was merely a quarter way full. This was bad news, it meant that it was be likely for Wei Zidao to join Pang Hong and Shang Hegao to find out their secret to fetching water from the Sword Qi River. Wei Zidao retreated rapidly and did not bother to attempt fetching more water. He retreated out of the river¡¯s edge and said: "I am heading back to tend to my injuries now, I am too heavily injured Mo Sect Head." Wei Zidao left without waiting for Mo Wuji¡¯s response. His injuries were far more severe than that of Pang Hong or Shang Hegao. Mo Wuji was worried. He was invited by Wei Zidao to attempt to fetch water together, but Wei Zidao went ahead and did it himself. Mo Wuji understood the reasons behind Wei Zidao¡¯s actions. Wei Zidao wanted to show Shang Hegao and Pang hong that he did not have an exceptional relationship with Mo Wuji, he also wanted test if it was easier to fetch water from the spot Shang Hegao and Pang Hong used. Wei Zidao realised that Shang Hegao and Pang Hong mastered the technique of fetching water from the river of qi as he found out that the sword qi was just as vicious there. With those conclusions drawn, he decided to form an alliance with them, ditching Mo Wuji instead. He thought to himself, forming an alliance with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao would guarantee him a large amount of water from the Sword Qi River. An alliance with Mo Wuji on the other hand would not even guarantee him another Zhi Nature pill. This decision was a no brainer for him. Pang Hong and Shang Hegao were no slouge. They picked up Wei Zidao¡¯s intentions to form an alliance with them. It would only be a matter of time before they could chase Mo Wuji away should the alliance be formed. Pang Hong and Shang Hegao too left hastily when they saw Wei Zidao leaving. At this moment, Mo Wuji understood that he must produce the Zhi Nature Pill should he want Wei Zidao to form an alliance with him. He was unwilling to do so as he understood that it would only keep Wei Zidao in an alliance with him temporarily. Mo Wuji took out a jade bucket and walked towards the river as the three left. He wanted to test for himself just how difficult it was to fetch water from the river. Sword qi thickened as he approached the river, it ripped his flesh to shreds, exposing the white bone underneath. Mo Wuji could not withstand the sword qi here even with his God Physic and his physical tampering techniques. In reality, the years Pang Hong, Wei Zidao and Shang Hegao spent in the sword prison has strengthened their bodies significantly even without and physical tampering. Mo Wuji¡¯s God Physic only gave him a small advantage over the other three. His sole advantage was his lack of primordial spirit and inhibition by the sword talisman. These had allowed him to roam more freely in the sword prison. Additionally, the presence of the violet lake helped him to contain the sword qi. These gave him the confidence staying in the sword prison. Mo Wuji made it to the river¡¯s edge after half a joss stick time. He attempted to use his spiritual will from his sea of consciousness and the his spiritual will from his spirit storage channels to move the bucket, but to no avail. He could only bent down and send the bucket into the water like everyone else did. Mo Wuji felt never ending waves of sword qi swell up into his body from the river as his bucket touched the surface. In this moment, Mo Wuji felt that even this furious rotation of this physical tampering techniques could not ease the pain of his body getting torn to shreds. ... Chapter 698: I Will Not Give You Any Face Chapter 698: I Will Not Give You Any Face Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations He felt his body being torn to shreds, blood spurted out of him at such volume that he was soon surrounded by a fine mist of his own blood. He was dyed red with blood from head to toe. "Omph" He quickly retrieved the jade bucket and took a few steps back. There was no doubt that a slip into the Sword Qi River could very well have ended his life. His cultivation level was far too weak as compared to his strengthened immortal body. With that body of his, he would have been able to fetch a bucket of water with ease should he have been an Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji quickened his steps back to his newly established immortal cave. "What had happened to you Sect Head?!" Fei Ling was frightened by the horrid state Mo Wuji was in. His concern was not out of genuine loyalty, but of fear that his good days would end should Mo Wuji be dead. "Wuji, what happened¡­." Han Qingru was alarmed by the state Mo Wuji was in. She ran out of the cave upon hearing about Mo Wuji¡¯s return. She have had a bad feeling about Mo Wuji departing alone with Wei Zidao. Han Qingru unlike Fei Ling, was genuinely concerned about Mo Wuji. She knew that any injuries sustained in the sword prison was even harder to recover from. She couldn''t care less about anything else and rushed to Mo Wuji¡¯s side. "There is no need to worry, I am fine." Mo Wuji knew he was going to be alright despite his alarming look. Mo Wuji was able to get as many healing pills as he wanted as an eighth grade Pill Emperor. In fact, his condition had been improving tremendously since entering the Vine Mountain of Safety. Han Qingru became more at ease when she recalled that Mo Wuji had the abilities to heal even her injuries. Fei Ling had far bigger concerns. He knew someone or something must have gone terribly wrong for Mo Wuji to have sustained such injuries. Fei Ling hypothesised that Mo Wuji must have gotten injured in a fight; as there was no reason for he would attempt to fetch water from the Sword Qi River seeing the amount of healing pills he had. He was afraid that Wei Zidao was the one who injured Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not notice that Fei Ling was deep in thought, he said: "Follow me." Mo Wuji produced an inhibition ray when the trio entered the cave. He solemnly said: "Fei Ling, do you know of any other place besides the Vine Mountain of Safety that might be safe?" "Did something happened, Sect Head?" Fei Ling was worry stricken. Just a few days back, he was celebrating the fact that he had met a man who could forcefully obtain a safe haven from the many experts residing in the Vine Mountain of Safety. His happiness however seemed to be short lived. Mo Wuji asked again: "Reply me if there was one." Mo Wuji was determined to leave even if there wasn''t a place as safe as the Vine Mountain of Safety. If Fei Ling was loyal, he would impart Fei Ling techniques of physical tampering and attempt to remove his sword talisman. If Fei Ling was only trying to take advantage of him, he would leave with only Han Qingru Mo Wuji always had an inkling feeling that the Vine Mountain of Safety was a bad place to stay despite the weakened sword qi. It was important that they leave before Wei Zidao formed an alliance with Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. Fei Ling sighed, he could tell that Mo Wuji seemed to have trouble on his hands and they have to leave this place no matter what. "There is another place but it is much lousier than the Vine Mountain of Safety." Fei Ling said after much hesitation. "What place is it?" Mo Wuji asked. "It was the Whirlpool of Sword Qi I mentioned earlier." Fei Ling replied. Mo Wuji frowned: "Wasn''t the whirlpool you mentioned a deathtrap?" Fei Ling nodded: "That is correct. But it was said the desert opposite the whirlpool had much a weaker sword qi as most of the sword qi had been swept up by the whirlpool.That being said, It was still nowhere as optimal as the Vine Mountain of safety." "Just how big is it?" "It had a perimeter of around 1722 metres. People from the Vine Mountain of Safety once went to the desert, but had mysteriously disappeared since. It was said that they were swept away by the whirlpool. No one dared venture into the dessert ever since. " Fei Ling replied. 1722 metres was an area big enough for Mo Wuji. He said: "Fei Ling, would you be interested in leaving here for the desert?" "But we have just finished setting up the arrays here, moreover Gobi Desert has a much stronger sword qi, it is also near the whirlpool¡­." Fei Ling said with much uneasiness. Mo Wuji had an ominous feeling when he combed his surrounding area with his spiritual will. "If that is so, I will leave for the Gobi Desert with Han Qingru, you can stay here alone if you wish." Mo Wuji stood up. Han Qingru too stood up without any hesitation. She was willing to follow Mo Wuji wherever he went. "I am willing to follow you Sect Head." Fei Ling felt that he had no choice but to follow Mo Wuji, he was nothing but a sitting duck were he to stay without him. Mo Wuji stared at Fei Ling intently and said: "I am the Sect Head of Ping Fan. Albeit it is still not well established, but I have no doubt that it one day will become the top immortal sect. I have to ask you this, are you willing to make an oath and join the sect? If you¡¯re not, I will have to leave you here with some pills." Fei Ling was speechless. None of it mattered to Fei Ling in this point of time. Even the strongest of immortals from the Very High Heavens could not break out of the sword prison. What Mo Wuji promised to achieve outside of the sword prison in the Immortal World had no significance to him. Fei Ling recovered from his initial shock and made a decision. He bowed and said to Mo Wuji: "Fei Ling is willing to become a disciple in the Ping Fan Sect. Fei Ling would be shot by lightning and consumed by his inner demons, never to achieve the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor should he do anything to let the Sect Head down." Mo Wuji nodded and handed two jade bottles to Fei Ling. "These bottles contained two Zhi Nature Pill and six Immortal Copious Pills respectively. Use it to treat your injuries." Mo Wuji was sure that Fei Ling made his oath sincerely and truthfully, else he would have left him. Mo Wuji was sure that there had to be way to escape the sword prison, he was unsure however if he could ever find it. Each and every pill would become very precious to Mo Wuji should he fail to find a way out. Mo Wuji felt that there was no need to be stingy with Fei Ling as he felt his resolve to join Ping Fan. "Thank you Sect Head" In retrospect, Fei Ling thought that he should have joined the Ping Fan Sect earlier should he have know that it would get him these powerful pills from Mo Wuji. "Lets leave here now" Mo Wuji said as Fei Ling kept the pills. A voice bellowed from outside the caves as Fei Ling was about to ask Mo Wuji what to do with the arrays. "Where is Mo Sect Head?" "It must be Shang Hegao." Fei Ling recognised the voice. Mo Wuji brought Fei Ling and Han Qingru out of the caves as he lifted the defensive arrays. Eight man stood waiting outside his defensive arrays. There were six Immortal Emperors, including Wei Zidao as well as two more Quasi Emperors. Although Wei Zidao looked to have recovered from all his physical injuries, his breath was still short and unstable. He had not fully recovered from his ordeal at the Sword Qi River. "And what brings you here?" Mo Wuji asked humbly. Shang Hegao said: "I heard that brother Zidao exchanged 5km of land for some Zhi Nature Pill with you. I too wish to obtain some Zhi Nature Pills from you." Mo Wuji kept a calm outlook and looked at Wei Zidao, Wei Zidao however dared not meet his gaze. How could Mo Wuji not understand Shang Hegao¡¯s intentions. Shang Hegao wanted Mo Wuji to give him Zhi Nature pills in exchange for the land that Mo Wuji had already owned. "So you have came to demand for some Zhi Nature Pills?" Mo Wuji said calmly. Mo Wuji was not afraid that Shang Hegao and co. would attempt to murder him here. He had many deathtrap arrays set up and was confident on taking them on. Additionally, he knew that they would never murder him here on the Vine Mountain of Safety as no one would risk damaging the only safe haven in sword prison. "That is correct. I am demanding four Zhi Nature Pills for this land you¡¯re standing on. I will not hesitate to reclaim it should you refuse." Pang Hong was blunt. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze fell on Wei Zidao: "Did you come to ask for Zhi Nature Pills too?" Wei Zhidao knew he could avoid it no more, he said apologetically: "I would never dare ask for more Zhi Nature Pills from you Mo Sect Head. I am willing to buy four more pill from you if you¡¯re willing to sell them. Please understand that I have no choice but to return this land to Shang Hegao and Pang Hong as I have owed them a huge favour." Wei Zhidao continued: "There is no need to worry about accommodations Mo Sect Head. My Immortal Hunters have far better accomodations for you. Please do me the honour of providing you with one." Mo Wuji said coldly: "I will not." ... Chapter 699: We Want To Leave The Vine Mountain Of Safety Chapter 699: We Want To Leave The Vine Mountain Of Safety Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wei Zidao was furious that Mo Wuji had openly embarrassed him in front of Pang Hong and Shang Hedao. He was nevertheless still an Immortal Emperor of the advanced stage. He contemplated if he should take on Mo Wuji; but he had yet to recover from his ordeal at the River of Sword Qi. Just as Wei Zidao was about to attack, Shang Hedao said: "We shall take back this land and remodel it since Mo Sect Head is unwilling to hand the pills over." Mo Wuji was disappointed. He had planned to trigger an attack from Pang Hong and co. by inciting an attack from Wei Zidao. The deathtrap arrays that he painstakingly emplaced would then have allowed him to decimate the experts easily. It was a pity that Shang Hegao resolved the tension during Wei Zidao¡¯s moment of hesitation, ruining any chances of a fight breaking out. "Lets go." Mo Wuji left the place without hesitation with Han Qingru and Fei Ling, not bothering to provoke Wei Zidao any further. None of Pang Hong and co. pursued the trio as they disappeared into the distance. They knew they could take Mo Wuji¡¯s life whenever they pleased as they have found the secret to obtaining large amounts of water from the river of sword qi. The priority now was to recover from their injuries and face Mo Wuji with their full strength in the future. "Mo Wuji was bound to have something up his sleeves, it was fortunate that you had not attacked, Wei Zidao." Shang Hegao cautioned Wei Zidao after Mo Wuji left. Wei Zidao nodded in agreement. Wei Zidao replied: "Indeed. It is amazing that Mo Wuji could actually manage to set up a sixth grade deathtrap array in the sword prison." Pang Hong said: "Mo Wuji is a very cunning man. He was trying to lure us into the deathtrap array the entire time by inciting Wei Zidao to attack." They would have had little trouble destroying a mere sixth grade deathtrap array should it have been constructed outside of the sword prision. But the sword prison had left them with only a fraction of their original powers. "I could not find out anything about him during our interactions either. Let the three of us investigate this deathtrap array that he have left behind." Wei Zidao agreed with what the pair had said. "Alright." Both Pang Hong and Shang Hedao agreed to Wei Zidao¡¯s suggestion. The remaining six waited outside the array while the trio entered it. An Immortal Emperor of the elementary level that was behind Pang Hong turned around and walked away as the trio entered the array. No Immortal Emperor of any organisation could challenge the authority of Pang Hong, Shang Hedao and Wei Zidao in the Vine Mountain of Safety. As such, no one dared to question the Immortal Emperor who had the audacity to leave the place without waiting for the trio. "Jian my immortal friend, why don''t you wait for me? Where are you headed?" Another voice said as Jian the Immortal was leaving the Vine Mountain of Safety. Jian the Immortal stopped and stared at him: "Nie Chongan, lets not interfere with each other¡¯s business. Besides, I have no reason to answer to a person from the Righteousness Mountain." He was aware that Nie Chongan was one of the two powerful Immortal Emperors from the Righteousness Mountains, the other being Shang Hegao. "Hahaha, there is every reason for you to do so my friend. If my guess was correct, you¡¯re planning to leave the Devil Hand to seek Mo Wuji? You should know how severely Devil Hand punishes betrayers." Nie Chongan challenged Jian the immortal. Jian the immortal replied: "Firstly, I have every right to leave the Devil Hand as and when I pleased. There was no betrayal involved as Pang Hong and I were merely partners. Secondly, I Jian Mingcheng have no reason to fear you even though you¡¯re of considerable strength." Nie Chongan did not mind what Jian Mingcheng said, he calming replied: "You¡¯re mistaken my friend. I have come to join, not challenge you." "Could it be that you..." Jian Mingcheng was shocked beyond words. Xie Chongan nodded silently. ... Han Qingru¡¯s physical tampering techniques had allowed her to barely resist the surrounding sword qi. Fei Ling¡¯s potential and his frequent trip to the river of sword qi also meant that he had a much easier time resisting the sword qi compared to Hang Qingru even though he did not have physical tampering techniques. Mo Wuji did not help Han Qingru to resist the sword qi even though it had already resulting in a mist of blood surrounding her. He knew that Han Qingru had to go through this to master the physical tampering technique. Besides, it was better for Han Qingru adapt to the sword qi as he knew he could not be around to aid her all the time. "Please stop Mo Sect Head¡­." Mo Wuji and co. were nowhere near the whirlpool when a voice came from behind him. He stopped and saw two man. One man was of average build but slightly fat with extremely sharp eyes. He recognised this man. He was the Immortal Emperor of the elementary stage that was following Shang Hedao. He had recalled Wei Zidao mentioning that this was a powerful man was called Nie Chongan. The other man was had a smaller build, jet back hair and intriguingly was only born with nine fingers. This was an Immortal Emperor of the elementary stages. Mo Wuji only knew that he followed Pang Hong, but not of his name. There were two Immortal Emperors that followed Pang Hong around. One was nearly killed by him but was saved in the nick of time by Shang Hedao, this was the other Immortal Emperor that followed Pang Hong. Mo Wuji was worried. He would have had no problems handing them had they attacked back in the Vine Mountain of Safety where he emplaced his deathtrap array. He knew that it was unlikely now that he could defeat the pair without his deathtrap array nor help from Wei Zidao. "These are two powerful man are Jian Mingcheng from Devil Hands and Nie Chongan from the Righteousness Mountain." Fei Ling took up a fighting stance beside Mo Wuji and took out his magical treasures, cautiously preparing for battle. He was now a member of the Ping Fan Sect and was willing to give his life defending it. He kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. He understood that it was going to be hard to kill or injure them outside of the Vine Mountain of Safety. "What could have brought the two of you out of the Vine Mountain of Safety to me?" Mo Wuji asked respectfully. Mo Wuji was battle hardened and fought even Great Immortal Emperors, he was not to be intimidated by two mere Immortal Emperors. "Jian Mingcheng greets Mo Sect Head." "Nie Chongan greets Mo Sect Head." The pair bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji found it against the norm that the pair did not mention that they were from the Devil Hands or the Righteousness Mountain. Mo Wuji kept silent and awaited the pair to explain themselves. Jian Mingcheng was a few of few words and merely shot Nie Chongan a look. Nie Chongan said: " We wish to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety and follow Mo Sect Head." Fei Ling stared at the pair blankly. He could not understand why the pair wanted to follow Mo Sect Head and leave a great place like the Vine Mountain of Safety. Mo Wuji too was suspicious and asked: "Why would the two of you want to follow me? You do know that we do not have a place to stay after we leave the Vine Mountain of Safety." Nie Chongan explained: "I believe that Mo Sect Head is heading towards the Gobi Desert behind the Whirlpool of Sword Qi? It is a more secure spot compared to the Vine Mountain of Safety albeit less comfortable." Mo Wuji said: "I would not have left would I have been able to stay in the Vine Mountain of Safety." He implied that he did not believe what Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng said. Jian Mingcheng explained quickly even though he was usually a man of few words: "If my estimates were correct, Mo Sect Head had planned to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety. It was pure coincidence that you have bumped into us on your way out. You could have very well been on your way out of the Vine Mountain of Safety should we have arrived later." Mo Wuji declined to comment. It was possible that Wei Zidao and co. have inferred it as he had made no attempts to reclaim the land after leaving. Seeing that Mo Wuji was still unconvinced, Nie Chongan added: "Jian Mingan and I suspected that something was amiss in the Vine Mountain of Safety and did not want to stay there for any longer." What Nie Chongan said had convinced Mo Wuji, he said: "Let¡¯s go to the Gobi Desert and have a more detailed discussion if that was the case." "Yes Mo Sect Head." The pair was elated as they knew that Mo Wuji had allowed them to stay temporarily. Miles later, they saw a huge whirlpool hanging in mid air. The sword qi from the whirlpool torn any nearby spiritual will to shreds. The whirlpool made people feel as though they were getting swept into it when their spiritual will landed close to its edge. "This is the Whirlpool of Sword Qi. We have to stay further away or risk getting swept into its roaring currents. " Nie Chongan pointed to the sky and warned the others. Mo Wuji circled away from the whirlpool instinctively. He was unable to tell it depth as it sucked in even his spirit storage channel and sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji would have used his spiritual eye to find out what was at the bottom of the whirlpool should he not have wanted to hide it. ..... Chapter 700: Integration Of The Water Elemental Bead Chapter 700: Integration Of The Water Elemental Bead Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The sword Qi whirlpool was simply too terrifying and even if Mo Wuji really wanted to find out more, he wouldn¡¯t do it now. The five of them bypassed the sword Qi whirlpool cautiously and after another 10 miles, a dark grey coloured desert appeared right in front of their eyes. As they stood on this piece of desert, Mo Wuji could clearly feel that the sword Qi in the surrounding was much weaker than before. Even though it was still not as safe as the Peaceful Vine Mountain, this place could be considered a heaven when compared to the other places in the Sword Prison. This piece of desert had a perimeter of about three miles; just like how Fei Ling described it previously. "Out of all the known places in the Sword Prison with the exception of the Peaceful Vine Mountain, this place contained the least amount of sword Qi. This place was slightly unusual because I¡¯ve heard that a few people have been dragged into the sword Qi whirlpool unknowingly after arriving here," Nie Chongan added as he noticed how Mo Wuji was observing the place. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t start installing the grand defensive array immediately as he stopped to observe the desert. Following which, he looked towards Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng before saying, "Since the two of you are able to cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor, you must not be ordinary at all so I shall speak my mind in front of the two of you. This desert does not belong to me alone so if the two of you wish to stay here, we can simply split this place evenly¡­" Even before Mo Wuji could finish what he wanted to say, both Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng bowed at the same time, "Sect Head Mo, the reason why we left the Peaceful Vine Mountain was so that we could join Ping Fan and we do wish Sect Head Mo would accept us." In the Immortal World outside of the Sword Prison, if any Immortal Emperor wishes to join a sect, the entire sect would desperately lift a chair to carry the Immortal Emperor into their sect. As much as Mo Wuji needed to strengthen Ping Fan, he wouldn¡¯t want to have time bombs beside him, "Then I shall be honest with the two of you. Ping Fan had yet to be established and it would only become number one in the future." Mo Wuji realised that up till this point, both Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng¡¯s expressions remained calm as they didn¡¯t reveal any signs of surprise or shock. Evidently, it didn¡¯t matter much to them whether or not Mo Wuji¡¯s Ping Fan was the number one sect or school. Perhaps, they would have already guessed that it wasn¡¯t the case. "Secondly, if you want to join Ping Fan Immortal School, you have to swear upon a deadly oath and it has to be from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise, may I invite the two Immortal Emperors to return wherever you came from¡­" Mo Wuji said this and noticed that Jian Mingcheng wanted to speak so he raised his hand to stop him, "The swearing can wait. Thirdly, the two of you have to tell me the truth as to why you want to leave the Peaceful Vine Mountain and follow a newbie like me, who just entered the Sword Prison. Of course, there¡¯s no need to tell me why if you are unwilling to swear upon the deadly oath." Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan exchanged a single glance and Jian Mingcheng spoke, "Let me start. The first time I entered the Peaceful Vine Mountain and left, my entire body felt relaxed mysteriously. At that point in time, I found it odd but what made me even more doubtful was that the second time I entered and left the Peaceful Vine Mountain, that feeling disappeared without a trace as if I am used to the Peaceful Vine Mountain already. From then on, I¡¯ve always wanted to leave the Peaceful Vine Mountain. However, I didn¡¯t know where to go and even though the Peaceful Vine Mountain made me feel uncomfortable, at least I could still survive there. Everyone living at the Peaceful Vine Mountain were well aware that the amount of sword Qi around the Peaceful Vine Mountain was getting lesser by the year. Mo Wuji nodded because he finally confirmed that he wasn¡¯t the only one who felt this way. "Since this was the case, why didn¡¯t you come here earlier?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. Jian Mingcheng shook his head, "I dare not come over because there was an Immortal Emperor who came over before. This Immortal Emperor was even in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage and after arriving here, he was mysteriously swept into the sword Qi whirlpool. The reason why I chose to follow Sect Head Mo was because Sect Head Mo was even an Immortal Array Grand Master. As long as Sect Head Mo is able to install a Grade 6 protective array here, I would be protected from being swept unknowingly into the sword Qi whirlpool." Nie Chongan followed suit, "Other than feeling uncomfortable at the Peaceful Vine Mountain, there was one more reason. The method Pang Hong found out to fetch the Sword Qi River¡¯s water would hurt lesser for those with higher cultivation level. Those below the Immortal Emperor Stage would basically not be able to fetch water from the river. Beside Immortal Friend Shang, I am the only Immortal Emperor in the Righteousness Mountain. I believe that if I didn¡¯t leave, I would end up like how Immortal Friend Fei Ling ended up very soon; as soon as I am incapable of fetching more water, that would be my doomsday." There was one more thing that Nie Chongan didn¡¯t mention and that was how he was second in terms of status in the Righteousness Mountain behind Shang Hegao. This meant that the amount of Sword Qi River¡¯s water he received would only be one fifth of what Shang Hegao received. For him to risk in life in exchange for a minority share of the Sword Qi River¡¯s water, Nie Chongan really didn¡¯t want to continue doing so. "You know Pang Hong¡¯s method of fetching water?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Nie Chongan shook his head, "I don¡¯t know but I am able to guess so. If I knew, I wouldn¡¯t be able to leave the Righteousness Mountain." "Alright, I trust the both of you. I have already told you about my Ping Fan so if the both of you are still willing to join me, please swear upon the deadly oath," Mo Wuji said. If he was an Immortal Emperor, he wouldn¡¯t need Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng to swear but because he was only a Grand Luo Immortal, this vows would be absolutely necessary and treated seriously. The mentally prepared Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan swore without any shreds of hesitation because nothing was more important than staying alive in the Sword Prison. Therefore, when both of them vowed upon their life, it was from the bottom of their heart without any intention to cheat Mo Wuji. When these two Immortal Emperors swore, even if they were within the Sword Prison, echos of thunders could be heard. ... Very High Heavens¡¯ Venerable Envoy Jin Yu had already left the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Garden quite some time ago. The enthusiasm among the geniuses in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins Garden didn¡¯t die down because of his departure. On the contrary, everyone was more enthusiastic than ever as they started discussing about the opening of the 4th level of the Broken World as well as the genius selection to enter the Very High Heavens. "Sister Xiaoyu, I feel that there¡¯s a major loophole in this method. For example, isn¡¯t it unfair if everyone who entered the 4th level of the Broken World had to pass what they obtained to a single person?" After Jin Yu left, Yan Yuerong whispered beside Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s ear. Xiao Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "Little miss, do you think others didn¡¯t think of this? I believe that at that point in time, the Very High Heavens would have a better way to differentiate this. Moreover, if you really obtain a treasure like the Book of Luo, would you exchange it for a slot to enter the Very High Heavens?" "I would definitely do so. Even though I am already a disciple of the Very High Heavens, I am still extremely earnest and sincere towards the Very High Heavens. As long as it¡¯s something the Very High Heavens need, I would hand it over willingly. From the way you two speak, it seems like you are not very respectful towards the Very High Heavens," A crisp and clear voice could be heard. "Xiao Xiaoyu and Yan Yuerong greets Fairy Ji Yue. We were simply talking nonsense earlier on so we would seek Fairy Ji Yue¡¯s forgiveness," Xiao Xiaoyu saw the woman who walked over so she hurried to grab Yan Yuerong before bowing respectfully. This woman was indeed the most scheming person Xiao Xiaoyu had ever seen. Not too long ago, she acknowledged ·ç´¨Ïɳǡ¯s castellan, Dong Shanglie, as her master before using his status to publicly announced that she was looking for a Dao companion. In a blink of an eye, she became the disciple of the Very High Heavens. Xiao Xiaoyu was an experienced person so unless she had no choice, she wouldn¡¯t want to have any sort of interaction with Ji Yue. Ji Yue walked over chuckling, "I recall seeing a man called Da Huang walking with you previously. Where did he go to?" "Ah¡­" Yan Yuerong was shocked because Da Huang was only a mortal so she wouldn¡¯t expect that a person like Ji Yue would be looking for him. Very soon, she reacted and replied, "Da Huang said he wants to walk on his own and didn¡¯t wish to follow us anymore." "Where is he staying at?" "A small village near the Extreme Glade Sea called the Divergent Immortal Village. We also met him incidentally at the city." "Many thanks, young sister," Ji Yue smiled at Yan Yuerong before leaving. ¡­ Mo Wuji spent yet another five days as he finished surrounding this entire desert with several massive arrays. Han Qingru had already started cultivating and tempering her physique in her residence while Fei Ling started recovering his own primordial spirit and fleshly body after building up the other immortal caves. It was the two new members of Ping Fan, Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng, who were the happiest. They just received two Zhi Nature Pills and three Immortal Copious Pills each from Mo Wuji. As compared to the Sword Qi River¡¯s water, the Zhi Nature Pill was much more effective in healing the primordial spirit as well as soul. After Mo Wuji took out the Zhi Nature Pill, both Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan were rejoicing in their hearts at the correct decision they made to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety. In the first few days, Mo Wuji was still worried that Pang Hong and Shang Hegao might find trouble with him. After his defensive arrays had been set up and Pang Hong and co. were still not here, Mo Wuji knew that Pang Hong and co. shouldn¡¯t be coming anymore. Those three people should be desperately trying to collect the Sword Qi River¡¯s water. After setting up multiple seals on his own immortal cave, Mo Wuji entered his Undying World. Ever since he obtained the Water Elemental Bead, Mo Wuji had not been into his Undying World. Previously, it was because he didn¡¯t have enough time but after he reached the Vine Mountain of Safety, he constantly unsafe so he didn¡¯t dare to enter. After leaving the Vine Mountain of Safety, the first thing Mo Wuji thought about was to integrate the Water Elemental Bead into his Undying World. Shuai Guo knew that he was simply too weak so it had been constantly cultivating madly in the Undying World. Presently, it had reached the Great Circle of Class 9. Shuai Guo had already chosen the immortal crystals it wanted to consume in the Immortal World. He started consuming these immortal crystals without even looking at them so how could the progress of a demonic beast without immortal lattice be slow if it constantly swallowed large amount of immortal crystals to cultivate? Mo Wuji took out that Water Elemental Bead in his Undying World and it instantly turned into a vast and boundless water attribute energy. This energy slowly expanded outwards while the vitality in his body was being extracted vigorously. The entire Undying World was transforming and the originally dry world seemed started becoming clear and fresh. Shuai Guo noticed something was amiss so he immediately flew out and stared shockingly at the ever changing Undying World. Not only was the Undying World expanding limitlessly, it was constantly filled with water energy everywhere. Mo Wuji fell seated on the ground because he had already been used to how the Five Elemental Beads would extract his vitality while integrating it with the Undying World. As long as he could hold on, this whole process wouldn¡¯t last very long. Chapter 701: Change Chapter 701: Change Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Indeed, after a few hours, the Undying World stopped its transformation. Even Mo Wuji was able to sense the great changes in the Undying World. Mo Wuji swallowed pill after pill and after swallowing a large amount of high quality pills, Mo Wuji¡¯s body started to recover rapidly. A day had passed and once Mo Wuji recovered completely, he extended his spiritual will outwards. Han Qingru¡¯s energy was on the rise and with the help of the Zhi Nature Pill, her primordial spirit and soul were almost completely healed too. Presently, Han Qingru was cultivating madly with large amount of immortal crystals and it seemed like it wouldn¡¯t take long for her to advance into the intermediate Golden Immortal Stage. The trio Fei Ling, Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng were all still recovering and despite the numerous days that had passed, they were still trying to fully utilise every bit of the medicinal value of the Zhi Nature Pill. To them, unique grade Zhi Nature Pill was not something they could obtain even if they were not trapped in the Sword Prison. Mo Wuji was extremely satisfied because with the powers he had with him, he wouldn¡¯t lose out in a fight against Pang Hong and co. Mo Wuji made his decision to check out the sword qi whirlpool once more because he still found this whirlpool extremely odd. "Sect Head, you¡¯re heading out?" The moment Mo Wuji walked out of his immortal cave, Nie Chongan noticed him and hurried to approach Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji praised Nie Chongan in his heart at how he was still an Immortal Emperor even if he hadn¡¯t regain his full strength. If it were Fei Ling, he might not even detect that Mo Wuji was leaving. "Yes indeed, I am preparing to walk around outside. Oh yes, I have a technique to temper your physique here so do try it with Jian Mingcheng and then go through it with Fei Ling too," Mo Wuji said while handing a jade letter to Nie Chongan. "Many thanks Sect Head for your care," Nie Chongan used two hands to receive the jade letter given by Mo Wuji excitedly. As an Immortal Emperor who was trapped in the Sword Prison for such a long period of time, Mo Wuji guessed that Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng would not have tempered their body and their fleshly body should only be in the advanced Immortal Physique Stage. There were very few immortals who would bother about tempering their physique. Firstly, they felt that physique tempering was embarrassing because it would only be practiced by barbarians. Immortals exude immortal energy so who would bother about physique tempering? Secondly, as long as their cultivation level increased, their fleshly body would become stronger too so what they focused on would be the cultivation of sacred art and immortal energy. However, things were different now that they were trapped in the Sword Prison because a physique tempering technique here was much more valuable than anything else. Not only could physique tempering strengthened the fleshly body, it could also effectively resist the corrosion of sword qi in this place. This was precisely the reason why Nie Chongan was so excited to receive the physique tempering technique because with this, his chances of survival had increased by yet another fold. Mo Wuji nodded, "I am going to go out for a walk now and I¡¯ll be back soon. After I return, I will try removing the Great Sword Path¡¯s sword qi restriction on the few of you before finding a way out." "Sect Head can find a way out?" Nie Chongan was shuddering as he spoke. Mo Wuji shook his head, "I¡¯m not certain but the heaven¡¯s dao would eventually have more than one way and the only reason why we hadn¡¯t found a way out was not because there wasn¡¯t any but because we hadn¡¯t found one. I will try and look for a way on my trip out now and if I still couldn¡¯t find it, we will brainstorm for more ideas." Nie Chongan¡¯s heart was trembling because how could the Sect Head think of such a simple logic yet this had never crossed his mind? "Sect Head, I want to follow you out," At this moment, Nie Chongan really do believed that Mo Wuji could find a way out. Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, "No need, the few of you just focus on cultivating here. I will go alone and I will be back very soon." "Roger that, Sect Head!" Nie Chongan was starting to have much more respect and admiration for Mo Wuji.This Sect Head must be really not simple because not only was he an Immortal Array Master, he was also able to casually take out a few Zhi Nature Pills and even possessed a physique tempering technique which Immortal Emperors could use. It seemed like even if he wasn¡¯t in the Sword Prison, joining Ping Fan wouldn¡¯t be a bad thing. ... Just like when he first arrived, the sword qi whirlpool was still rocketing towards the sky as it swept an overwhelming amount of sword qi with it. Even before Mo Wuji could approach closer, that terrifying sword qi was already trying to sweep Mo Wuji into the whirlpool. Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and when his sight fell on that black hole like sword qi whirlpool which was rocketing towards the sky, he could see clearly everything within the black hole which his spiritual will couldn¡¯t. Ordinary spiritual will would not be able to get hold of the sword qi within the Sword Prison. Only when the sword qi was tearing the body apart or when it was hurting the primordial spirit or soul could one feel the sword qi. Now that Mo Wuji had condensed his spiritual eye, he could clearly see the faint sword qi moving freely around the black hole before being swept down rapidly. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye followed the path of the sword qi being swept down and after just one kilometre, he was shocked. He could actually see a man with an emotionless face sitting on a protruding rock and the endless amount of sword qi seemed to ease past him without bringing much harm to him. How was this possible? Mo Wuji¡¯s first thought was that this was too ridiculous to be true because this man was still alive and he still had some dried out skin on him. In fact, Mo Wuji could sense a faint vitality energy exuding from this man. If it was any other person, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be surprise if they could last an incense worth of time after being swept into the sword qi whirlpool, let alone sitting within the whirlpool. After tens of breaths, Mo Wuji could tell that this man was actually tempering his physique. Everytime the faint sword qi skimmed past the man¡¯s body, it would evoke a faint fluctuation of immortal energy. Mo Wuji was confident that his spiritual eye wasn¡¯t wrong. Mo Wuji took multiple steps forward and his spiritual eye went beyond this man as it looked further down the sword qi whirlpool. The pity was that Mo Wuji soon realised that even his spiritual eye was unable to see what¡¯s further beyond and deeper down the whirlpool. This sword qi whirlpool was almost similar to the Sword Qi River in a sense that the closer you approached it, the more terrifying the sword qi felt. However, there were also some differences between the sword qi whirlpool and Sword Qi River. One difference would be that the disparity of sword qi from the Sword Qi River was simply too huge. Standing by the side of the Sword Qi RIver, Mo Wuji was still able to withstand the sword qi but once he came into contact with the water from the Sword Qi River, he wouldn¡¯t even last a few breaths. To Mo Wuji, this was indeed the most suitable place to temper his physique. Mo Wuji continued walking towards the position where even he couldn¡¯t resist for long period of time and he started executing his physique tempering technique. Very soon, he realised that the more he absorbed sword qi to temper his physique, the rate of absorbing immortal energy became much faster too. In no time, Mo Wuji was completely indulged in tempering his physique. In the past, Mo Wuji had been through all sorts of torture to his fleshly body while trying to temper his body. This sword qi might be terrifying but because he didn¡¯t have primordial spirit and even have a violet lake within his sea of consciousness, this was actually extremely suitable for him to temper his physique. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have this sword qi whirlpool within the Sword Prison, Mo Wuji guessed that it would still be a long time before he could even think about advancing into the God Physique Stage Level 2. Cultivation would take time and so would physique tempering. For a determined physique expert like Mo Wuji, the pain from the lacerations of the sword qi was definitely something that he could handle. Half a year flew by and not only did Mo Wuji stabilized his God Physique Level 1, he even advanced right to the God Physique Level 3. In the Immortal World, it would be extremely shocking to hear that someone managed to temper his physique to God Physique Level 3. A Grand Emperor would not usually have a God Physique let alone, a mere Grand Luo Immortal like Mo Wuji. Back when Mo Wuji first entered the God Physique Stage, his cultivation level was too low. Even though he was doing fine in the Sword Prison, he would still need to bear the pain of the lacerations of the sword qi on his fleshly body once in awhile. Presently, Mo Wuji was in the God Physique Stage Level 3 and even if he were to walk around the Sword Prison casually, his fleshly body would no longer be hurt by the sword qi. Even the stronger sword qi would only scratch out a small bloody scar on his body. Once Mo Wuji reached the God Physique Level 3, he threw everything out his mind as he tried to charge into God Physique Level 4. As a physique tempering expert, Mo Wuji was more aware than anyone else how different the God Physique Level 3 and 4 were. Once he managed to reach God Physique Level 4, it would even be easy for him to retrieve water from the Sword Qi River. Mo Wuji was too desperate to advance into God Physique Level 4 that he had forgotten to be cautious. Before he started his physique tempering here, he constantly reminded himself to not go to close to the sword qi whirlpool. At this moment, Mo Wuji had already tossed his own warning out of his mind. The sword qi around the periphery of the sword qi whirlpool could no longer be beneficial for him to advance to the next level and if he truly wanted to improve, he would need to go even closer to the sword qi whirlpool. ¡­ Concurrently at the Vine Mountain of Safety. The trio Pang Hong, Wei Zidao and Shang Hegao were sitting in the immortal residence of Wei Zidao¡¯s Immortal Hunters territory. The trio had a serious expression on their faces because even though their injuries were much better than half a year ago, their rate of recovery was still far from what they estimated. "Immortal Friend Zidao, please speak first," After a long period of silence, Shang Hegao was the one who started the conversation. Wei Zidao¡¯s face remained solemn as he said, "Did the two of you notice that the more water we used from the Sword Qi River, the less effective it was for our recovery? Also, it is getting increasingly hard for us to retrieve water from the Sword Qi River even with Brother Pang¡¯s method. Previously, Immortal Reverents and Quasi Immortals were still able to collect the water but now, other than the three of us, no one else seemed to be able to collect water from the Sword Qi River. Unless we have been collecting too much water recently that it disrupted the balance within the Sword Qi River?" Shang Hegao replied, "Brother Zidao is right and besides this, did Brother Zidao and Brother Pang notice that the sword qi within the Vine Mountain of Safety is getting lesser? There were even about four hours where there ain¡¯t any sword qi in most places. Now, in a day of 24 hours, there were almost 16 hours where there was completely no sword qi and even the sword qi in the remaining 8 hours were extremely weak." As he said this, Shang Hegao took in a deep breath, "Logically speaking, we should be happy when the sword qi around the Vine Mountain of Safety became weaker. However, I have this odd feeling and that the weaker the sword qi in the area, the more I feel disturbed. I wonder if the two of you were like me?" Hearing Shang Hegao¡¯s words, Pang Hong and Wei Zidao exchanged glances before nodding silently. They had also felt an increased uneasiness as they collected more water and the sword qi around the Vine Mountain of Safety decreased. "I think I am starting to understand why Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng would leave the Vine Mountain of Safety to find Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji possession of the Zhi Nature Pill and the distribution of Sword Qi River¡¯s water for them were only the secondary reasons and the main reason should be¡­" Wei Zidao stopped and none of them continued to speak as all of them were well aware of the common answer in their mind and that was the fact that there was something wrong with the Vine Mountain of Safety. Chapter 702: Finally Here Chapter 702: Finally Here Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Do the two of you know how the Sword Prison came about?" After a long while, Shang Hegao suddenly asked. Pang Hong and Wei Zidao looked towards Shang Hegao even though Wei Zidao had the highest cultivation level while Pang Hong was the strongest here. In actual fact, the most experienced person was Shang Hegao and he was also extremely shrewd. If it wasn¡¯t for luck, the Great Sword Path might really not be able to force Shang Hegao into the Sword Prison. Shang Hegao used his finger to point upwards before saying in a deep voice, "During the War of Gods, the Sword Prison was an inheritance left behind after the war. Rumours were that a peak grade sword dao expert had fallen here and after this sword dao expert perished, the Sword Prison was formed¡­" Shang Hegao paused at this moment before lowering his voice till only the three of them could hear, "This was just like the Gods Tower, Yong Ying¡¯s Immortal Domain¡¯s Lifeless River and even the Broken World: a treasure left behind by the ancient experts. The Lifeless River had the Breath of Hongmeng while there are endless sword qi here. Everyone, try imagining if¡­" Shang Hegao spoke till this point and he seemed to have understood something as his expression changed drastically. Together with Shang Hegao, Pang Hong and Wei Zidao¡¯s expression changed too. Clearly, they have thought of whatever Shang Hegao just thought of. The three all of them stood up at almost the same instance and before anyone could speak, an Immortal Reverent was standing outside the entrance as he reported, "Revered Lord, we have noticed that for the past 24 hours, there were no sword qi for a full 22 hours. For the last 2 hours, there were only a some scattered sword qi around." "Let¡¯s go!" Hearing the news of this Immortal Reverent, Shang Hegao shouted as he darted out without any hesitation. At almost the same instance at which Shang Hegao darted out, Pang Hong and Wei Zidao rushed out too. Seeing the three Revered Lords dashing out without any hesitation, the Immortal Reverent hurried to follow them out. With this motion, the entire Vine Mountain of Safety seemed to be woken up as many cultivators, who had no idea what was happening, rushed outside too. ¡­ Concurrently, a group of four came to a halt on the periphery of the desert which Mo Wuji circled out. The uniqueness of these four people were that all of them were carrying a long sword on their back and the person walking in front was a skinny middle age man. Behind him was a young woman who wasn¡¯t considered to be delicate looking but she did look soldierly. The person at the back was an extremely boorish looking man. "Senior Grand Uncle, this place looked like there is a grand array," The one speaking was a skinny young man with yellow face as he was actually carrying a bamboo sword. The middle age man who was leading the way nodded his head before praising, "Fan Wa has been improving quite a lot recently to be able to notice a grand array here. Indeed, there is definitely a grand array installed here. If I didn¡¯t guess wrongly, this grand array should have been installed by Senior Mo." "This Sect Head Mo is truly impressive because so many people wanted to come to this desert in the past but didn¡¯t manage to stay long. Sect Head Mo arrived and immediately decided to stay here," That soldierly woman commented. "Indeed," The middle age man replied, "There are many experts in the Sword Prison but how many can install Grade 6 immortal array like Senior Mo? The truth was that we have been half a year late in deciding to rely help from Senior Mo. I blame it on my lack for foresight which was never as good as Senior Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng." After saying this, the middle aged man sighed as his tone was slightly melancholy. The woman shook her head, "Senior Grand Uncle is not worse than others but because you knew that the four of us were the remaining few members of the Tian Ji Sect. If we were to perish here, the Tian Ji Sect could be forever gone so Senior Grand Uncle¡¯s every move was extremely cautious." "Zhen Kui, no more mentioning about the Tian Ji Sect in the future, only Sword School," The middle age man said sternly. "Yes," The woman hurried to answer. The middle age man sighed once more as he didn¡¯t continue on the matter before saying with a clear voice, "Sword School¡¯s Su Zi''An requests to meet Sect Head Mo." A moment later, the grand array opened up in front of them and a clear plaza appeared in front of everyone as a man skinnier than Su Zi''An walked out. "Su Zi''An greets Immortal Friend Fei," Even though Fei Ling¡¯s cultivation level was slightly lower than Su Zi''An, Su Zi''An still bowed respectfully to greet him. He started to regret because he should have came over to seek protection from Sect Head Mo earlier. Su Zi''An had seen how devastated Fei Ling was and even though Su Zi''An didn¡¯t seek help from any of the three primary forces in the Vine Mountain of Safety, he had watched everything that happened between the three forces. Fei Ling offended Pang Hong and had escaped the Vine Mountain of Safety with devastating injuries on him. It could even be said that he was merely a skeleton on the run but after just this period of time, other than his eyes, Fei Ling looked just like any other healthy cultivator. One must know that they were in the Sword Prison because even if they were outside the Sword Prison, his recovery shouldn¡¯t have been this rapid. Fei Ling also knew who Su Zi''An was and that he was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. He heard rumours that he cultivated the sword dao and had enlightened several sword dao sacred arts here in the Sword Prison. Without mentioning him, even Nie Chongan might find it difficult to finish Su Zi''An off in the Sword Prison. However, Su Zi''An wasn¡¯t in anyone¡¯s favour nor did he offend anyone as he chose not to join any of the three primary forces. In the Sword Prison, he had always been in one corner. Because Su Zi''An was slightly more low profile, had never clashed with any of the three primary forces coupled with his own strength, he managed to gain a small foothold in the Vine Mountain of Safety. "I wonder what is the reason for Immortal Friend Su¡¯s visit today?" Fei Ling was also very curious because if Su Zi''An wanted to join a force, he would have join the Devil Hand, Righteousness Mountain or even the Immortal Hunters already. If Su Zi''An didn¡¯t want to join a force, what was he doing here? This place was no better than the Vine Mountain of Safety. Su Zi''An clasped his fist once more, "I¡¯ve heard that Sect Head Mo is magnanimous and was exceptionally strong which is why I, Su Zi''An, am here to seek protection." "You want to seek protection from our Ping Fan?" Fei Ling was getting more suspicious because why did this Su Zi''An suddenly change his mind? "Yes, all four of us are interested in seeking help from Ping Fan," Su Zi''An started to reveal a slight agony because he was the elder of the Tian Ji Sect yet he was bringing his Tian Ji Sect disciples here to seek help from another sect. Fei Ling clasped his fist back and said, "Immortal Friend Su, I am really unable to make this decision on my own. My Sect Head had left about 6 months ago and had yet to return. If Immortal Friend Su is willing, you are invited to wait inside. If you are not willing to wait, feel free to leave." "Immortal Friend Fei? Are you saying that Sect Head Mo had been out for 6 months?" Su Zi''An was momentarily shocked. He was naturally well aware of how terrifying the Sword Prison was and given Mo Wuji¡¯s strength, leaving for a few days might not be a problem. However, by staying in here, not only was the sword qi lesser, one could recover their elemental energy too. The moment he left this place for long period of time and allow the sword qi within the Sword Prison to attack, his elemental energy would have taken a great hit when he returned. "Yes, would Immortal Friend Su still be interested in waiting for him?" Fei Ling understood Mo Wuji more than Su Zi''An and was not in the least worried about Sect Head Mo Wuji leaving this array. Since Sect Head Mo had that impressive physique tempering technique, he must have left to temper his physique just like how Jian Mingcheng also left the desert to temper his physique after obtaining the physique tempering technique from Sect Head Mo. The only difference was that Jian Mingcheng would return after a while but Sect Head Mo had yet to return once. "Yes, we shall wait inside then," Su Zi''An regained his composure very quickly before answering with conviction. "Since this was the case, the four of you please enter. You can wait on the plaza itself but even I have no idea how long you¡¯ll be waiting for," Fei Ling explained casually. "Many thanks Immortal Friend Fei," Su Zi''An didn¡¯t stand on ceremony because even though he could still hang on for a period of time after leaving the Vine Mountain of Safety, the few people behind him could no longer hold on for much longer. The youngest and weakest Fan Wa¡¯s entire body was already filled with scars. The four of them entered the plaza and could instantly feel the weakening of sword qi in the surrounding and it felt much better than where they stayed in the Vine Mountain of Safety. "No worries, I will be entering now so please take care of yourself," Fei Ling said and walked straight out of the plaza. "This Sect Head Mo is really a god. He actually knew that someone would visit," After Fei Ling left, Su Zi''An exclaimed. "Senior Grand Uncle, how did you know?" Fan Wa questioned. "Look at this plaza and you should be able to tell that it was between two arrays. The purpose of the plaza would be to hold those who came and was willing to join Ping Fan," Su Zi''An explained. Currently, Su Zi¡¯An had calmed himself down significantly because since Sect Head Mo had predicted that people would come over, it would mean that their chances of joining Ping Fan was high. ... "Boom boom boom!" Explosions could be heard from the Vine Mountain of Safety and all the cultivators who had rushed out of the Vine Mountain of Safety were starting to panic. The boundless vine suddenly started to shrink and every cultivator who touched the vine was instantly sucked of his blood. Shang Hegao retrieved a talisman as he was desperately trying to break the talisman before spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. At this moment, why would he bother about reserving his strength and elemental energy because after guessing what the Vine Mountain of Safety was, he was extremely desperate to leave this place. The pity was that no matter what methods he used, his strength was never the same as before. A vine swept towards him casually as blood and soul from his entire body was instantly absorbed into the vine. Just as he fell to the ground, he was only left with a piece of clothing and nothing else. "Bang!" The midair Pang Hong was brushed down by the vine and just as he landed on the ground, a stolon pierced right through body. In the instance his blood and soul were being absorbed, he started to murmur to himself, "I understand now." He really did understand. He understood how they were responsible for the changes in the Vine Mountain of Safety and eventually their own death. If they hadn¡¯t been so obsessed in chopping off the wooden vine to forge a cask to collect the Sword Qi River¡¯s water, so obsessed in trying to recover their soul and primordial spirit, this Vine Mountain of Safety would definitely not be awoken so soon. Perhaps not in another one or two thousand years but they were simply too careless. Chapter 703: The Unsafe Vine Mountain of Safety Chapter 703: The Unsafe Vine Mountain of Safety Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Countless of people from all corners of the Vine Mountain of Safety started evacuating and other than those who were originally near the edge of the mountain, out of 10 who tried to evacuate the Vine Mountain of Safety, not even one manage to do so. Wei Zidao had almost burnt his entire life span away and was one of the fastest one to escape. At the instance he left the territory of the Immortal Hunters, he had already reached the periphery of the Vine Mountain of Safety. Even so, a vine still managed to creep up and bind his calf. Wei Zidao had always been a rogue cultivator and even though his knowledge might not be as great as Shang Hegao and he might not be as resourceful as Pang Hong, he had something the both of them didn¡¯t possess. That was decisiveness. The second the vine managed to bind up Wei Zidao¡¯s calf, immortal energy was released and his entire calf was instantly detached from his body. In the very next moment, the calfless Wei Zidao was already escaping frantically. At this moment, the sword qi was nothing to him as what he wanted the most was to evacuate as far as he could. Behind Wei Zidao was those massive kyoho-like vines starting to gather like a compressed cage for crickets. Any cultivator trapped within this cage would no longer be able to make it out alive. Not a single drop of blood splattered out because every cultivator who was touched by the vine was absorbed of his or her blood, soul and even fleshly body in the shortest possible time. Only a rare few like Wei Zidao managed to escape out alive. "Ai!" Wei Zidao spat out a mouthful of blood before coming to a halt as he swallowed a healing pill. Behind him, the originally towering and mighty Vine Mountain of Safety had completely disappeared without a trace. The Vine Mountain of Safety had seemingly been compressed down to the ground and everyone who had existed in the Vine Mountain of Safety had vanished with it. The few cultivators who made it out alive saw Wei Zidao and hurried over to gather around him while helping him up. In the Sword Prison, the more company the better. "Revered Lord Wei, what has happened to the Vine Mountain of Safety?" A pale face and blood stained Immortal Reverent asked as his heart still had lingering fears. A Grand Emperor had no capabilities to resist or fight back against the Vine Mountain of Safety so how truly terrifying was this vine? If he wasn¡¯t already near the periphery of the Vine Mountain of Safety, he wouldn¡¯t have succeeded with his narrow escape. The remaining weaker survivors were also listening attentatively because they too, had no idea what was going on with the Vine Mountain of Safety. Wei Zidao finally calmed himself down before saying in a low voice, "It should be a heart left behind by ancient experts. If my guess is right, those vines that you saw were the veins of the heart." "We have been living in a heart?" Someone asked shockingly. Nobody answered his question because everyone believed that Wei Zidao wasn¡¯t speaking mindlessly. This was because the Vine Mountain of Safety was actually shaped like a heart. Wei Zidao was also trembling within because he had personally witnessed how Shang Hegao and Pang Hong was sucked dry of their blood and fleshly body before dying within the mountain. Besides how he was stronger than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao, the reason why he was still alive was because of his decisiveness. However, this was still not the main reason why he managed to escape because the main reason was the four Zhi Nature Pills given by Mo Wuji. The four Zhi Nature Pills made his primordial spirit and soul much more complete than Pang Hong and Shang Hegao and in terms of rate of recovery, his was also the fastest. Because of his almost recovered primordial spirit, he was able to burn his life force to escape from the Vine Mountain of Safety and ended up losing only one leg. It seemed like their guess was right and the reason why Mo Wuji left the Vine Mountain of Safety in advance was probably not just because they wanted to take back their territory but because Mo Wuji had already detected the danger within the Vine Mountain of Safety. He recalled the time he went to the Sword Qi River with Mo Wuji and how Mo Wuji was deep in thoughts while furrowing his brows after he left the Vine Mountain of Safety. Afterwards, he even walked back into the Vine Mountain of Safety to walk out again. He finally came to an understanding that Mo Wuji had already suspected something from that moment on. Previously when Mo Wuji retreated and left so straightforwardly, Wei Zidao thought that it was because Mo Wuji no longer had an alliance and that he had already formed an alliance Pang Hong and Shang Hegao. Come to think of it, it was nothing like that because he believed that even if they hadn¡¯t form the alliance, Mo Wuji would have still choose to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety. When they visited Mo Wuji¡¯s place, he was already preparing to leave so how could things be so coincidental? Given Mo Wuji¡¯s level of knowledge in array dao, if he wasn¡¯t willing to leave, the combined effort of the three of them might not even be able to break Mo Wuji¡¯s array. "Revered Lord Wei, where do we go now?" Everyone was silent and a cultivator suddenly asked. Wei Zidao sighed and said, "The Immortal Hunters is no longer around so everyone can just address me by my name. What Revered Lord? Such a joke." This incident made him understand that no matter how much power they gathered in the Sword Prison, any alliance would be to no avail in the face of a much more powerful catastrophe like this. "All of you should go and find Sect Head Mo for protection," Wei Zidao added as he knew that other than relying on Mo Wuji, these few people had nowhere else to go. "Senior Wei, aren¡¯t you going with us?" The cultivator who was speaking earlier asked. The truth was that even though he asked Wei Zidao where should they go, he was well aware that finding Sect Head Mo Wuji was the only option left for them. Wei Zidao shook his hand and said, "You guys go ahead, I won¡¯t be joining you." After he said that, Wei Zidao instantly walked away and disappeared into the depths of the boundless Sword Prison. He was after all, an advanced Immortal Emperor Stage expert who just destroyed his alliance with Mo Wuji not too long ago before chasing him out of the Vine Mountain of Safety. He wasn¡¯t that shameless to seek protection from Mo Wuji now. One must know that Mo Wuji exchanged the territory he wanted with Zhi Nature Pills but in the end, Wei Zidao took it back without further notice. Whether or not Mo Wuji already had intentions to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety or not, his action was wrong and disgraceful. Moreover, if an Immortal Emperor like him requests for protection from Mo Wuji, who would be listening to who? After Wei Zidao left, the strongest person left behind was that Immortal Reverent. As the Immortal Reverent watched Wei Zidao¡¯s back view disappear, he sighed once more, "Let¡¯s go, we shall go and look for Sect Head Mo." As an Immortal Reverent and also a member of the Devil Hand, he was well aware of the conflict between Mo Wuji and the three primary forces of the Vine Mountain of Safety. Therefore, he could still understand why Wei Zidao was unwilling to seek help from Mo Wuji. ¡­ "Kakaka!" Mo Wuji suddenly felt the intensity of sword qi increasing by multiple folds as his bones started to produce splitting sounds. The excruciating pain experienced by Mo Wuji caused him to open his eyes as he was completely awoken. He looked terrifyingly at his feet as it was currently at the very edge of the whirlpool. However, the whirlpool didn¡¯t actually sweep him inwards. The endless amount of sword qi was absorbed using his physique tempering technique as it entered his body. Besides the endless amount of sword qi here, there was also an endless amount of immortal energy too. Mo Wuji instantly understood that those terrifying sword qi from the whirlpool was completely absorbed by him and the whirlpool had momentarily disappeared which was why he stopped. Presently, he had to focus because he shouldn¡¯t let his bones disintegrate. The moment his bones started to shatter again, he might never be able to enter God Physique Level 4 anymore and might even be swept right into the sword qi whirlpool afterwards. Mo Wuji forcefully remove his distracting thoughts as well as the danger under his feet as he started circulating both his physique tempering and immortal mortal technique using all his strength. All 108 smaller circulation formed up to become a big one and then this big circulation combined with Mo Wuji¡¯s physique tempering technique managed to absorb all the dense immortal energy from within the sword qi whirlpool. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s fleshly body had reached a limit and a valiant aura started surging out from his body and the initially splitting bones and skin started to recover in the next moment. Sword qi which were originally being absorbed into Mo Wuji¡¯s body were now completely blocked off by Mo Wuji. The immortal elemental energy within his body were rising intensely which led to the explosion of a shackle as Mo Wuji instantaneously charged into the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage. The berserk whirlpool¡¯s power to engulf could be felt once again as Mo Wuji subconsciously took many steps back and those sword qi which could sweep him away was absorbed into his body again. During his time at the periphery of the sword qi whirlpool, Mo Wuji¡¯s fleshly body was in the God Physique Level 4 while his cultivation level had reached the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage. He knew that given his current cultivation level, death would be the only outcome if he were to be swept into the whirlpool. Having retreated from the periphery of the sword qi whirlpool, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye to look at the sword qi whirlpool and under the whirlpool, the man had actually disappeared. Mo Wuji¡¯s back started having cold sweat as he quickly sped out of this place. Before he advanced to become an Immortal King, he dared not enter the sword qi whirlpool to check it out. If he didn¡¯t possess any exceptional cultivation resources, he would not be able to advance to become an Immortal King in a short period of time. It seemed like he should go check for any reaction from the transfer array disc he threw outside the Sword Prison. Mo Wuji guessed that the transfer array disc would not be much of a help but since it was still a possible way out, he had to try his luck. ¡­ "May I know if Sect Head Mo is here?" The Immortal Reverent brought about five survivors from the Vine Mountain of Safety to the encampment which Mo Wuji had set up. Fei Ling walked out once more and the waiting Su Zi¡¯An and co. all stood up. "You¡¯re Brother Cha?" Fei Ling exclaimed surprisingly at the sight of the Immortal Reverent. Fei Ling knew this Immortal Reverent called Cha Rui because Fei Ling used to be from the Devil Hand too. Now why would Cha Rui be here? Fei Ling noticed the severely wounded cultivators behind Cha Rui and became even more curious than before. "Immortal Friend Fei Ling, long time no see," Cha Rui¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse as Cha Rui¡¯s status in the Devil Hand used to be much higher than Fei Ling. At this moment, he was rejoicing at the fact that he didn¡¯t offend Fei Ling before. "Brother Cha, what are you doing here? Did you decide to leave the Devil Hand too? Aren¡¯t you afraid of Pang Hong? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to return to the Vine Mountain of Safety anymore?" Even till today, Fei Ling still had lingering fears whenever he mentioned about Pang Hong. Cha Rui sighed, "There is no more Vine Mountain of Safety and no more Devil Hand." "What do you mean?" Fei Ling thought of the words of Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng and his expression changed drastically. If the Vine Mountain of Safety was truly dangerous, this place wasn¡¯t actually very far away from it. Chapter 704: Someone Snatching The Turf Chapter 704: Someone Snatching The Turf Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Hahahaha!" A loud laughter could be heard as everyone looked towards the entrance of the defensive array which Fei Ling just opened. A man in grey robe landed on the plaza like a demon while grabbing another man in his hands. "Revered Lord Wei?" Su Zi¡¯An instantly recognised Immortal Hunters¡¯ Wei Zidao as the man being grabbed hold of by the grey robe man. An expert in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage was actually carried by hand just like that? How strong must this fella be? One must know that back in the Vine Mountain of Safety, Wei Zidao was one of the most powerful immortal so how could he be treated like an mere ant today? Su Zi¡¯An was one of the latest to arrive at the Vine Mountain of Safety so he wasn¡¯t very sure as to who the grey robe man carrying Wei Zidao was. Just because Su Zi¡¯An didn¡¯t know who this man was, Fei Ling and Cha Rui recognised him and they immediately exclaimed at the sight of the grey robe man, "Bai Ye?" "Haha, I didn¡¯t expect that after all these years, there would still be people who recognised me. This place is decent so I shall be staying here in the future. I shall give everyone a chance so bow in front of me and you shall be under me, Bai Ye," The grey robe man laughed out loud as he said pleasingly. Even Nie Chongan could hear such a loud laughter so he instantly rushed out. When he saw the grey robe man, he also had the same shocked expression as he said, "Bai Ye." Very few people who were thrown into the Sword Prison late would recognise Bai Ye. However, the first few in the Sword Prison and especially those who shifted to the Vine Mountain of Safety, there were actually only a few who didn¡¯t know Bai Ye. Bai Ye, an expert in the peak of the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage, was only one step away from entering the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. After discovering the Vine Mountain of Safety, Bai Ye was just like Wei Zidao, Pang Hong and Shang Hegao as he owned a piece of territory too. Because Bai Ye had the wildest ambitions and was also the most guarded man, he owned the biggest territory in the Vine Mountain of Safety. Pang Hong was unhappy with that so he started a fight with Bai Ye. Eventually, it goes without saying that Pang Hong was never a match for Bai Ye. Besides this, after injuring Pang Hong, Bai Ye went on to kill seven Immortal Reverents and two Quasi Immortals under Pang Hong. He was said to be viciously ruthless when dealing with such matters. Just when Bai Y was about to finish Pang Hong off, Wei Zidao and Shang Hegao stood out together to stop Bai Ye and naturally, Bai Ye managed to calm himself down. It was also after the fight that people concluded that Bai Ye could even contend against Wei Zidao. What surprised everyone was that while others were managing their own territories, Bai Ye suddenly gave up on his large piece of territory and disappeared without a trace. Pang Hong had enmity with Bai Ye so the moment Bai Ye left, Pang Hong took over Bai Ye¡¯s territory which explained why Pang Hong¡¯s power was the greatest in the Vine Mountain of Safety afterwards. Previously, nobody knew why Bai Ye would suddenly leave the Vine Mountain of Safety but now, whether it was Fei Ling, Nie Chongan or even Wei Zidao, who was just thrown on the ground, were clear of the reason why he chose to leave. It had to be because Bai Ye had already suspected that something was amiss at the Vine Mountain of Safety which was why he didn¡¯t stay. "Haha, Immortal Friend Nie, not bad at all. After so many years in the Sword Prison, you are still able to maintain the stability of your primordial spirit. So this place is under your control? Not bad, you have quite pretty decent foresight," Bai Ye continued laughing to his heart¡¯s content. Nie Chongan was an Immortal Emperor and one of the first batch of people to enter the Vine Mountain of Safety so Bai Ye naturally knew who he was. "Congratulations Immortal Friend on the further advancement of your dao," Nie Chongan clasped his fist. Bai Ye nodded as he stopped smiling, "Nie Chongan, back then, I had already reckon that something is wrong with the Vine Mountain of Safety which was why I choose to leave. I have also suspected this particular desert but I wasn¡¯t very sure back then. After the catastrophe over at the Vine Mountain of Safety, I¡¯ve reconsidered this place and I reckon that this place is one of the few safe place left in the Sword Prison. My intention for coming back here would be to occupy this place and since this place is under Immortal Friend Nie¡¯s control, I wonder if Immortal Friend is willing to join my sect and gain a foothold here in the Sword Prison?" Bai Ye was proficient in the Dao of Prophecy and simply because he predicted that the Vine Mountain of Safety was unsafe, he made the decision to leave. Now that the Vine Mountain of Safety had disappeared, the danger within it was gone with it. His latest prediction would be that this desert was the safest place in the Sword Prison. After hiding around the Sword Prison for so many years, he was worn out even if he had a physique tempering technique of his own. After sensing that the desert was the safest, he rushed back immediately and he definitely wasn¡¯t expecting to see a severely wounded Wei Zidao. If Wei Zidao was not wounded, even if wouldn¡¯t lose to Wei Zidao, Bai Ye knew that there was no chance of him winning Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao had been burning his blood and lifespan while exhausting the last bit of his energy left in him. After meeting Bai Ye, he was captured alive without even struggling. The only reason why he chose not to kill Wei Zidao was because he wanted Wei Zidao to fetch water from the Sword Qi River for him. He was speaking politely to Nie Chongan only because Nie Chongan was also an Immortal Emperor like him. Nie Chongan was different from Wei Zidao because Nie Chongan¡¯s immortal energy looked denser and even his primordial spirit was not badly injured. He suspected that Nie Chongan had a peak grade physique tempering technique with him otherwise, how could he be living so comfortably in this place? Another reason was also because Nie Chongan was actually able to install a Grade 6 deathtrap array here. He, Bai Ye, might not be afraid of this magic array but he really didn¡¯t wish to get hurt in the Sword Prison. He could very well get hurt if he chose to go head to head with an intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage expert and a Grade 6 deathtrap array. "Big Brother Nie, Big Brother Fei, what¡¯s happening?" Bai Ye¡¯s arrival even startled Han Qingru as she walked out. At the sight of Han Qingru, Bai Ye¡¯s eyes lit up because he noticed that Han Qingru had just advanced into the advanced Golden Immortal Stage. Even if sword qi was the thinnest here, it was simply unbelievable that someone could cultivate and even advance here. If it was possible to advance, he, Bai Ye, would have already stepped into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage during all these free time he had over he years. Evidently, Han Qingru must have some secrets on her. What made him even more elated was that Han Qingru was extremely gorgeous and was very feminine too. He was obsessed with women ever since he was born and before he was thrown into the Sword Prison, he had over hundreds of imperial concubines. After being thrown here, he was too occupied with survival so he didn¡¯t think much about women. Now that a strikingly attractive woman had appeared in front of him, his entire life would have been in vain if he let her go. He completely neglected the fact that Han Qingru could be Nie Chongan¡¯s woman. It was true that he needed Nie Chongan¡¯s support here but what he was lacking now was not Nie Chongan¡¯s support but a beauty like Han Qingru. As he thought about the future which he had to spend in this desert, how could he let Han Qingru slip out of his grasp? "Immortal Friend Bai, our Sect Head is not in currently. If Immortal Friend Bai wishes to stay here, you would need to wait for our Sect Head to return to approve," Nie Chongan clasped his fist and replied politely. Bai Ye¡¯s face turned solemn before sneering, "Nie Chongan, I am telling you that I¡¯m going to stay here, not asking for your opinion. I¡¯m giving you 10 breaths time to release this array completely otherwise, don¡¯t blame me, Bai Ye, for turning nasty." When Nie Chongan said that, Bai Ye was certain that Nie Chongan was lying to him. Given Nie Chongan¡¯s Immortal Emperor strength, it was possible that he could join a force but it was impossible for him to join a sect. Moreover, Nie Chongan¡¯s primordial spirit was stable which meant that he was recovering well. Given his level of recovery, how could he achieve this while being a disciple of a sect? Han Qingru had been wandering on her hand throughout the years so she was no longer the gentle and naive woman she used to be. From Bai Ye¡¯s eyes, she could tell that he was interested in her as well as this entire place that they were in. Presently, Bai Ye was threatening Nie Chongan and because she was worried that Nie Chongan might give in, she hurried to step out and said, "This is the territory of Ping Fan. Disciples of Ping Fan and cultivators who wish to join Ping Fan please step over to my side." Before Mo Wuji left, he handed all the array flags which could ignite the few deathtrap arrays here to her. Now that someone was trying to snatch Ping Fan¡¯s turf, how could she let it be? Fei Ling was the first person who walked over to Han Qingru¡¯s side. Nie Chongan was already standing beside Han Qingru so he didn¡¯t budge and even drew out his own magic treasure. Ever since he made he decision to Ping Fan, he never intended to turn his back on Ping Fan which was why he would be willing to swear upon the deadly oath. Other than Sect Head Mo, who else would be able to hand him a Zhi Nature Pill in the Sword Prison? Moreover, he didn¡¯t believe that Sect Head Mo would not return when Han Qingru ignite the deathtrap arrays. What surprised Fei Ling was that even Su Zi¡¯An and the four men behind him walked over to Han Qingru. He knew clearly that Su Zi¡¯An was one who would do anything to protect himself and even though Bai Ye was only one person here, he was the strongest one around. After Su Zi¡¯An and co. walked over in a hurry, Cha Rui hesitated for a moment before scurrying over too. Following Cha Rui¡¯s choice, two more cultivators hurried over too. Only three cultivators who were with Cha Rui initially chose to stay put as they seemed to think highly of Bai Ye. As for Wei Zidao, he was evidently unable to move his body. Bai Ye was slightly shocked because a lot of people lnew his origins and how strong he was. It could be said that if they were to get into a fight, he was 90% confident of winning. He knew that as long he kill Nie Chongan, the fight would be in his favour because every other cultivators below the Immortal Emperor Stage were basically like ants to him. Something is wrong. The person who was taking charge was not Nie Chongan but that puny Golden Immortal girl. Bai Ye looked doubtfully at Han Qingru because even on his deathbed, he would never believe that Han Qingru was the leader here. "Who are you?" Bai Ye didn¡¯t act immediately because he wasn¡¯t anxious. They were in the Sword Prison so there shouldn¡¯t be any reinforcements against his side. "Why does it concern you?" While Bai Ye was confident no one else would appear, someone arrived behind him and even answered his question. Bai He turned behind and he saw two people walking towards him. The man walking in front was a youth who looked extremely ordinary. However, his black hair and bright eyes were extremely eye catching and his body was perfectly shaped. He was certain that this youth was an physique tempering expert and a pretty decent one. However, the person walking beside Mo Wuji was even more ordinary with an average height and had only nine fingers. He noticed that Mo Wuji was nearly in the Immortal King Stage but this skinny man with nine fingers was already in the elementary Immortal Emperor Stage. Bai Ye¡¯s face turned serious because even though he wouldn¡¯t be afraid of two elementary Immortal Emperor Stage experts, the tide of the fight would be beyond his control. Jian Mingcheng was one of the later one to enter the Vine Mountain of Safety so Bai Ye would naturally not recognise him. The two people who returned were indeed Mo Wuji and Jian Mingcheng. Mo Wuji had already stepped into the God Physique Level 4 and on his way back, he met Jian Mingcheng and decided to come back together. Just when they arrived at the entrance, they met Bai Ye who was trying to take over his turf. "I¡¯m Immortal Emperor Bai Ye," Bai Ye¡¯s voice was slightly soft as he was calculating the odds of him getting rid of the two Immortal Emperors by surprising them with a sudden execution of a grand sacred art. Chapter 705: I Know The Way Out Chapter 705: I Know The Way Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Sect Head Mo, Bai Ye was like the few of us who first arrived at the Vine Mountain of Safety to form the forces. After predicting that there was something wrong with the Vine Mountain of Safety, he suddenly left the Vine Mountain of Safety. Now that he has returned, he should have found out that the Vine Mountain of Safety was no longer around and that this place was the safest," Wei Zidao forced himself to sit up as he took the initiative to explain these to Mo Wuji. If one had the chance to live, who would be willing to die? Bai Ye was indeed very strong and even had a physique tempering technique which allowed him to survive well in the Sword Prison. However, in Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes, Bai Ye was really not worthy to be Mo Wuji¡¯s match. Back then, Pang Hong, Shang Hegao and himself brought three other Immortal Emperors and some other Immortal Reverent but they still didn¡¯t dare to touch Mo Wuji¡¯s residence in the Vine Mountain of Safety. Just because Bai Ye thought that he was slightly adept in array dao, he actually dare to cause such commotion on Mo Wuji¡¯s turf. He was certain that the instance Bai Ye attacked, Bai Ye could forget about leaving this piece of desert anymore. If Mo Wuji was unable to finish Bai Ye off, he would definitely not have the capabilities to leave the Vine Mountain of Safety easily back then. "Something really happened to the Vine Mountain of Safety?" Mo Wuji questioned and just like Wei Zidao¡¯s guess, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t see Bai Ye as an opponent to worry about. Without mentioning that he had two Immortal Emperors with him, even if he was alone in the Sword Prison, he wouldn¡¯t fear Bai Ye. "Yes, just a while ago the vine at the Vine Mountain of Safety suddenly started absorbing everyone¡¯s blood and soul. Other than a few cultivators who managed to make it out, everything within and including the Vine Mountain of Safety completely disappeared. Pang Hong and Shang Hegao didn¡¯t make it out while I lost a leg and barely escaped. My guess was that it was a massive heart," Wei Zidao explained. To survive in the Sword Prison, Wei Zidao used the remaining blood within his body to grow out another leg but the pity was that before he could recover his elemental energy, he met Bai Ye. Previously, Cha Rui didn¡¯t complete his explanation so it was only now that Su Zi¡¯An and co. understood what truly happened at the Vine Mountain of Safety. The four of them exchanged glances and started rejoicing in their heart because if they made their decision to leave slightly later, they might not even be alive anymore. Mo Wuji maintained silent and was also glad that he made the decision to leave. If he were to trust his luck and stayed like how he did when he first left the Heavenly Chasm City, he would have perished together with the Vine Mountain of Safety. Given Wei Zidao¡¯s speed, he was almost swallowed by the Vine Mountain of Safety and even if Mo Wuji¡¯s speed was faster than Wei Zidao, it might be difficult even for him to leave. This was because he would definitely want to rescue Han Qingru first and if he did that, he wouldn¡¯t have any hope of leaving alive. "Sect Head Mo, this is your turf?" Bai Ye noticed Wei Zidao¡¯s attitude towards Mo Wuji and knew that he had left out a crucial person. Regardless, this Sect Head Mo in front of him was not simple at all. "That¡¯s right," Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t like Bai Ye and felt that even the dead Pang Hong was slightly more pleasing to the eye than this Bai Ye. "Split your turf into two then, I only want a small portion¡­" Bai Ye spoke halfway and his body flashed towards Han Qingru. While he said that he only wanted a small portion of the turf, Bai Ye really didn¡¯t intend to stay here. He only wanted to bring Han Qingru away so that one, he would be able to force Han Qingru to share her cultivation secret and two, because he wanted to find someone to wait upon him. The reason why Bai Ye said what he said was so that he could agitate Mo Wuji and allow himself that split second to bring Han Qingru away. No matter how not simple Mo Wuji was, he would be helpless against him, Bai Ye, in the other areas of the Sword Prison. The pity was that this defensive array was installed by Mo Wuji. The second he entered this defensive array, he had already ignited the deathtrap array. Other people would need the array flags to ignite the deathtrap array but Mo Wuji only needed his spirit storage channel to do so. The instance Bai Ye charged towards Han Qingru, his entire surrounding changed and a massive halberd radiance appeared in the space around Bai Ye. How was this possible? When Bai Ye sensed that he was trapped within the deathtrap array, his heart turned cold in disbelief. He was certain that no matter how quick Mo Wuji was, he shouldn¡¯t be able to stop him from grabbing and leaving with the girl. However, the truth was the exact opposite of his prediction. The moment he moved, the grand array was ignited. Previously, Mo Wuji was only intending to teach Bai Ye a lesson for trying to snatch his turf but now that he wanted to grab Han Qingru, the killing intent in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was surging. Once the deathtrap array trapped Bai Ye, Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Weighted Halberd was struck across. Bai Ye extended his arm as he drew out a eight trigrams disc and eight multicoloured light radiance were shot out to form a thin circle. Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance within his deathtrap array clashed against this thin and wide multicoloured circle as it instantly flow towards a position. Within a breath time, light radiance shone extensively at the position and under the bright light, an array gate appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s deathtrap array. Bai Ye sneered as his eight trigrams disc smashed towards the array gate. Mo Wuji was shocked because he didn¡¯t expect someone to be able to find his array gate so easily. The array gate of his deathtrap array was indeed where the lights of Bai Ye¡¯s eight trigrams disc were shining towards so as long as the eight trigrams successfully smashed on the array gate, his deathtrap array would instantly be destroyed. Once the deathtrap array was destroyed, Mo Wuji was certain that he wouldn¡¯t be able to contain or hold Bai Ye back. At almost the same instance Bai Ye¡¯s eight trigrams disc was charging out, Mo Wuji threw out multiple array flags. He didn¡¯t bother about that slashing halberd radiance as he simply threw out a punch. "Boom!" An explosive tremble could be felt and everyone outside the deathtrap array even thought that this place was going to be flipped upside down. Even so, everyone outside the deathtrap array could only see a blurry place and not Mo Wuji or Bai Ye. They could only feel that within those blurs, the entire place was in havoc and filled with explosions of immortal energy and killing intent. When he realised that his eight trigrams had smashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s deathtrap array, Bai Ye revealed a slight sneer. He couldn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji thought a mere Grade 6 deathtrap array was able to hold him back. Bai Ye¡¯s smile instantly disappeared because when his eight trigrams disc smashed against Mo Wuji¡¯s deathtrap array¡¯s gate, it actually didn¡¯t release this array and in fact, his immortal energy rebounded and almost made him spat out a mouthful of blood. All these happened in an instance and at the same time, Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd Winding River had already landed. How could Bai Ye still bother about anything else because if he failed to defend against this Winding River sacred art, this date next year would be his death anniversary. Even if Bai Ye suspected that the array gate of the deathtrap array was right beside the position which he just smashed, he could only retract his eight trigrams disc as it attempted to defend against Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River. "Kacha!" The halberd radiance clashed against the eight trigrams disc and the multicolours of the eight trigrams disc started to disperse as if Mo Wuji had just destroyed a rainbow. The rainbow dispersed and the halberd radiance within the deathtrap array formed up once more as it went full force on Bai Ye. Bai Ye¡¯s years of physique tempering might have been successful but he was only slightly beyond the Great Circle of Immortal Physique and half a step into the God Physique Stage. It wasn¡¯t because he couldn¡¯t advance beyond the God Physique but because he had insufficient preparations. Before being thrown into the Sword Prison, he didn¡¯t prepare any treasures like the Undying Holy Bamboo or Void Nirvana Root. Moreover, he only started tempering his body after being thrown into the Sword Prison. Before that, even though he had a physique tempering technique, he didn¡¯t bother cultivating it. The halberd radiance crashed onto Bai Ye¡¯s body endlessly as it formed a fog of blood. As for Bai Ye¡¯s clothing, it was swept away by the halberd radiance. With the sudden resistance from Bai Ye, Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River sacred art was only able to cause superficial injuries on Bai Ye¡¯s body. "Stop¡­" Bai Ye only managed to utter these two words and Mo Wuji¡¯s domain smashing fist was already on its way. Bai Ye¡¯s domain had originally been restrained by Mo Wuji¡¯s deathtrap array as well as whirlpool domain and now that it had to suffer the force of the domain smashing fist, Bai Ye¡¯s domain was instantly scattered and disintegrated. In the Sword Prison, Bai Ye¡¯s strength was only equivalent to his strength in the Immortal King Stage outside. Now that he was trapped by an unwounded Mo Wuji, a person who had yet to reach the Immortal King Stage, how could Bai Ye feel good? In the instance Bai Ye¡¯s domain was disintegrated, Mo Wuji¡¯s fist landed directly on his heart. "Ai!" Bai Ye spat out blood and felt as though his heart was struck by ten thousand steel hammers. Throughout his many years of physique tempering, Bai Ye had felt all sorts of pain before. However, a heart-crushing pain caused by steel hammers was something he would never forget in his life. Presently, he realised that if this Sect Head Mo didn¡¯t stop, it would be really hard for him to leave this place alive. His eight trigrams disc was indeed able to locate the array gate of the deathtrap array in the shortest possible time but the most terrifying thing was that his opponent could casually alter the position of the array gate. If he tried to destroy this deathtrap array forcefully, Mo Wuji could have killed him over a thousand times. "I admit defeat¡­" After being crushed by Mo Wuji¡¯s fist within his own domain, Bai Ye knew that he had no other choice except to admit defeat. In a simple exchange of blows, Bai Ye estimated that Mo Wuji was at most an Immortal King or might be even lower than that. If Mo Wuji was an Immortal Emperor like him, Bai Ye would have died under such circumstances. He was extremely reluctant to admit defeat because the reason for his defeat was not because he was not strong enough but because his opponent made use of the sword qi within the Sword Prison coupled with the halberd radiance within his deathtrap array which made him completely helpless. "Great!" Mo Wuji answered simply. Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief and he swore to get back at what happened today in the future. He didn¡¯t need to leave the Sword Prison to do so because he was confident that as long as he was outside this small deathtrap array, he would be able to kill this man with the surname ¡®Mo¡¯ easily. Just as Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief, a long extended halberd radiance was flying towards him. The space within the defensive array suddenly condensed and his movement became significantly slower. This was the first time Bai Ye felt an impending death aura looming around him as he saw his pitch black future. This sacred art was definitely much more terrifying than the previous Winding River. Because of the condensation of space around him, he was unable to avoid it. Bai Ye shouted furiously, "Man with the surname ¡®Mo¡¯, how could you go back on your word¡­" He sensed Mo Wuji¡¯s resolute to kill him and even though he knew that he would be killed regardless if he admitted defeat, his heart was still full of anger. "I can only say that you¡¯ve been thinking too much, I only said that it''s great that you admit defeat. Since when did I say I would let you go¡­" After hearing that, a blood fog exploded in the space and with the aid of the deathtrap array, Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd managed to split Bai Ye into two. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart finally heaved a sigh of relief because ever since Bai Ye set his eyes on Han Qingru, Mo Wuji never intended to let him leave alive. "I know the way out¡­" Even though Bai Ye was split into two, his primordial spirit was actually in one piece. Chapter 706: Sword Prison’s Exit Chapter 706: Sword Prison¡¯s Exit Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji''s hand stopped and his halberd light instantly retracted. This was his territory; he had no need to be afraid that Bai Ye would escape. At the same moment that the halberd light disappeared, Bai Ye''s cleaved body instantly joined back together. Bai Ye, whose pale face was as white as a piece of paper, now stood in front of Mo Wuji. He knew that Mo Wuji didn''t even need to use a trap array to kill him. "Say it then, where''s the exit?" Mo Wuji asked coldly. If Bai Ye dared to utter a single lie, then he would not hesitate to turn Bai Ye into dust. "Promise not to kill me, and I will immediately tell you how to leave Sword Prison." Bai Ye''s voice was slightly weak. On the surface, his body seemed to have recovered. But in reality, he was still far from total recovery. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "If you tell me how to leave Sword Prison, then I wouldn''t kill you. If you are still unwilling, or if you don''t believe me, then there''s no need for any further words." The moment Bai Ye heard Mo Wuji''s words, he knew that he didn''t have any other choice. Ever since he started cultivating, he had experienced countless of dangers. How could he not know what he should do now? He could only bet on Mo Wuji''s character, "The exit to Sword Prison is Sword Qi River; I feel that the sword qi whirlpool should also be an exit to this place. But to enter the sword qi whirlpool, you would need to be at the God Physique Late Stage at the very least, and that still wouldn''t be enough to guarantee your safety. That''s why I believe that the only option to leaving Sword Prison is Sword Qi River." Bai Ye seemed to say all these in a single breath. Mo Wuji said coldly, "Are you lying to me? Even Wei Zidao can''t enter into Sword Qi River. If that''s the case, who would be able to leave Sword Prison? And how did you get to know about this?" Bai Ye''s tone was especially sincere as he said, ""I am adroit in the Dao of Prophecy. Those years ago, I prophesied that the Vine Mountain of Safety would meet with a disaster, which was why I left. Thereafter, I prophesied that Sword Qi River was the exit to Sword Prison. This is why I am furiously training my physical body, all so that I could attain God Physique Late Stage and enter Sword Qi River." "Entering Sword Qi River also requires a late stage God Physique?" Mo Wuji frowned and asked. He originally suspected Bai Ye''s words. He had gone to Sword Qi River before; he only managed to get half a bucket of water before he almost got mangled by the sword qi. If they must enter Sword Qi River, then wouldn''t they die without question? Bai Ye answered, "I''m not too sure of this, but I believe that you only need God Physique Level 4 to enter Sword Qi River. I only said God Physique Late Stage to be safe." The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, he looked at the calm Mo Wuji. He had said his piece, but it was equivalent to not saying anything at all. In Sword Prison, who was able to cultivate to God Physique Intermediate Stage, or even God Physique Late Stage? He could only hope that Mo Wuji would leave him with a thread of life. "Go then. I believe your words," Mo Wuji said calmly. When he finished that sentence, Mo Wuji didn''t even move, and the surrounding array disappeared without a trace. Bai Ye reappeared on the plaza. The ten over people at the sides of plaza looked at them with shock and uncertainty. Bai Ye''s heart jolted; what terrifying control of arrays. The strongest array he had seen would require at least array flags or spiritual will to control arrays. However, he was sure that Mo Wuji didn''t even use any spiritual will, but that array was soundlessly released. If he, Bai Ye, also knew of such methods... "Sect Head Mo''s sacred arts are vast and great. I, Bai Ye, am willing to join your school and receive your orders." Not only didn''t Bai Ye escape, he bowed and spoke to Mo Wuji in an especially respectful tone. Mo Wuji had such methods to control arrays, and he even had methods which allowed that girl to advance in a place like this. He, Bai Ye, wasn''t going to miss out on this. Moreover, he believed that Mo Wuji was easy to control. If he was the one in Mo Wuji''s position, he definitely wouldn''t have showed mercy. After the other party revealed the truth about the exit, he would not hesitate to kill. However, this Sect Head Mo didn¡¯t do anything thing to him. This meant that this Sect Head Mo¡¯s dao heart was not resolute. As long as he followed beside a person like this Sect Head Mo, he would eventually be able to find a way to off him. "F*ck off. If you don¡¯t leave in three breaths time, then there¡¯s no need for you to ever leave," Mo Wuji said coldly. Bai Ye¡¯s froze. He rarely made wrong judgments. He believed that Mo Wuji was a fella whose bark was worse than his bite; he didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji would actually do anything to him. Soon, he realised that if he didn¡¯t leave, then really wouldn¡¯t be able to leave. How could Bai Ye still want to analyse and prophesise on the situation now? He hurriedly retreated and charged into the Sword Prison¡¯s blur and boundless sword qi. Even though it was as he predicted, Wei Zidao¡¯s heart sunk when he saw this Sect Head Mo easily take care of Bai Ye. He originally wanted to join Ping Fan. But Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even accept Bai Ye, so why would Mo Wuji accept him? Moreover, he had been very nasty to Mo Wuji previously. He decided that he would immediately leave after he recovered some ability. If he were to be like Bai Ye, and get asked to ¡®F*ck off¡¯, then he would lose all his pride. "Su Zi¡¯An greets Sect Head Mo." "Cha Rui greets Sect Head Mo." ¡­ The moment Cha Rui left, the other cultivators left on the plaza all came to pay respects to Mo Wuji. "You are here to join my Ping Fan?" Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze swept across the group. "Yes. I plead Sect Head Mo to take us," Su Zi¡¯An said with greater respect. "Sect Head, just now when Bai Ye came, Junior Sister Qingru asked those that wish to join Ping Fan to go to her side. Three people didn¡¯t go over. They should have believed that Bai Ye was going to win. Unfortunately for them, sect head was the one who emerged victorious," Fei Ling said when he saw that everyone seemed to want to join Ping Fan. Mo Wuji rushed over to Sword Prison just to save Han Qingru. He, Fei Ling, naturally knew Han Qingru¡¯s position in Ping Fan. If not because of the fact that his cultivation and his power was vastly superior to Han Qingru, he would have even addressed Han Qingru as ¡®Senior Sister¡¯. But doing so would make his bootlicking a little too obvious. The reason why he said these words was because he was worried that Han Qingru was overly kind and wouldn¡¯t be willing to reveal that matter. However, he did not know that Han Qingru would have mentioned it, even if he didn¡¯t. Perhaps the Han Qingru back in the Corner of Yong Ying wouldn¡¯t have said it. But after experiencing so many things, Han Qingru was very clear what should be said, and what shouldn¡¯t. "Yes, Wuji, there were indeed three people that weren¡¯t willing to join Ping Fan just now." Han Qingru also walked over. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze swept across the group and he said indifferently, "The three people that weren¡¯t willing to join Ping Fan, please take your leave. We don¡¯t need the few of you here." Three cultivators that were covered in injuries walked out with their heads lowered. They didn¡¯t say anything; they only clasped their fists towards Mo Wuji, then turned and left swiftly. The three of them knew that they managed to get out of the Vine Mountain of Safety after much difficulty, but they were probably going to perish within the sword qi of Sword Prison. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t show any sympathy. Why would he want disciples that only came when the sect was doing well, and not when the sect needed them the most? Did they treat the sect as their own thing? "Many thanks to Sect Head Mo for your help." Wei Zidao had already recovered some of his power. He stood up, clasped his fists, and prepared to walk out of the defensive array. Mo Wuji suddenly uttered, "Brother Zidao, if you are willing to join my Ping Fan, you can stay. Of course, if you join my Ping Fan, then you must swear not to do anything detrimental to Ping Fan." In reality, among Pang Hong, Wei Zidao, and Shang Hegao, Wei Zidao was the person that Mo Wuji was most willing to befriend. People are inherently selfish. There was nothing wrong with Wei Zidao¡¯s actions if you looked at it from his perspective. According to Wei Zidao¡¯s belief, if he didn¡¯t take back the 5 kilometers of land, then Pang Hong and Shang Hegao wouldn¡¯t cooperate with him. On the other hand, if he took back the 5 kilometers of land, he would be able to obtain large amounts of Sword Qi River river water, large enough to point of recovery. Thus, it wasn¡¯t a hard decision to choose to offend someone he just got to know. "Sect Head Mo." Wei Zidao looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say a word, he only waited for Wei Zidao to make his decision. There were several reasons why he wanted to take in Wei Zidao. For one, Wei Zidao¡¯s character was not bad. Secondly, Wei ZIdao was a late stage Immortal Emperor; just one more step and he would be a Grand Emperor. If they managed to leave, his Ping Fan would need Grand Emperors, and multiple Grand Emperors at that. "Wei Zidao is willing to join Ping Fan. From today onwards, Wei Zidao swears to not do anything which may be harmful to Ping Fan, nor to treat Sect Head Mo as an enemy. If I violate these oath, then inner demons would enter my body, and I would be struck to death by lightning." Wei Zidao immediately reacted and he did not hesitate to swear an oath. After being trapped in Sword Prison for so many years, how could not know what to choose at this point? If they couldn¡¯t escape, then what¡¯s the difference if he swore or not? But if swearing was able to get him out, then he wouldn¡¯t mind even if he had to swear to worse terms. Moreover, he had never intended to go against his words. This sort of oath was of no influence to him at all. Mo Wuji said contentedly, "From today onwards, Brother Zidao will be the Revered Right Protector of my Ping Fan. If we manage to get out of here, I will definitely find some ways to help Brother Zidao to advance and become a Grand Emperor." It was extremely meaningful to Mo Wuji that Wei Zidao joined Ping Fan. Wei Zidao was already so powerful within a place like Sword Prison. If he were to leave Sword Prison, then an average late stage Immortal Emperor definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to contest against him. Moreover, Wei Zidao was very sincere with his oath; he also swore that he wouldn¡¯t treat Mo Wuji as an enemy. "Yes, sect head." Wei Zidao had already weighed the costs and benefits and he had firmed his decision. Since he entered Ping Fan, he was going to be a man of Ping Fan. Before entering Sword Prison, he was a rogue cultivator. Previously, he didn¡¯t join a sect because he was afraid of the constraints and restrictions of a sect. Fortunately, he was the Revered Right Protector. Above him, there was only the sect head. He would still be able to maintain a high degree of freedom. Even if there was a Left Protector, that Left Protector would only be on the same level as him. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes then turned to the other people, "My Ping Fan still isn¡¯t established. But the moment we leave Sword Prison, Ping Fan will be the number school in the entire Immortal World. Those that are willing to join Ping Fan, express your intentions. If you are unwilling, you can still stay here in this plaza. Even though it cannot be compared to the Vine Mountain of Safety, it¡¯s still a thousand better than the rest of Sword Prison. Joining Ping Fan was the only good option. Excluding Su Zi¡¯An, the remaining six people all didn¡¯t show any dissent. All six of them swore to never betray Ping Fan. Mo Wuji nodded. These people had been staying in Sword Prison for a long time. By now, they already know how terrifying Sword Prison was. If he was the one tortured in Sword Prison for millennia, he would have the same thoughts. "Sect head, four of us are actually from Tian Ji Sect. It¡¯s just that Tian Ji Sect has been exterminated, and we were thrown into Sword Prison. This was also why we didn¡¯t dare to reveal our origins. But now that sect head is our leader, Su Zi¡¯An would no longer continue hiding this truth." After Su Zi¡¯An brought the other three people to join Ping Fan, he directly revealed the truth about his origins. "You all are from Tian Ji Sect?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment. Chapter 707: Opening Of The Broken World’s Fourth Level Chapter 707: Opening Of The Broken World¡¯s Fourth Level Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Su Zi¡¯An bowed once more, "Answering the sect head. The four of us are indeed from Tian Ji Sect. My name is Su Zi¡¯An, and I was originally an elder at Tian Ji Sect." Thereafter, Su Zi¡¯An pointed at the wild-looking man beside him and said, "This is Lu Ming, he was the deacon for the Enforcement Hall. The two people behind Lu Ming are two Tian Ji Sect disciples, Hai Zhenkui and Fan Wa." Mo Wuji was elated. Even though he abandoned the idea of establishing Tian Ji Sect by himself, he was still the Tian Ji Sect Head back in the cultivation world. He had always had feelings and emotions towards Tian Ji Sect. There was no need to talk about how Su Zi¡¯An was already a late stage Immortal Reverent, even that Lu Ming was also an intermediate stage Immortal King. And even though Hai Zhenkui was a girl, her talent should be rather impressive; she was actually in the late Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Moreover, there was no difference between a late stage Grand Luo Immortal and an Immortal King. After all, he had the Draining Immortal King Pill. As for the youngest Fan Wa, he was in the late Xuan Immortal Srage. This Fan Wa looked thin and ill. On his back, there was a bamboo sword. Mo Wuji actually felt that this Fan Wa was the one with the greatest potential. In a place like Sword Prison, he was actually able to emit slight sword intent. Clearly, he was different from the others here. Others only managed to protect their lives, while he actually managed to gain insights towards the sword qi here. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze then landed on Cha Rui. Cha Rui was a Quasi-Emperor and he had a handsome and heroic appearance. Similarly, he was also very thin. In a place like Sword Prison, it was already impressive that they were able to survive. Thinness seemed to be the common characteristic that everyone here shared. "Sect Head is above all. Disciple¡¯s name is Cha Rui. Because I accidentally killed a genius disciple of Great Sword Path, I was captured by an Immortal Emperor from Great Sword Path and thrown into Sword Prison with a sword talisman." WHen Cha Rui noticed that Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze had landed on himself, he hurriedly did a self-introduction. Together with Cha Rui, there was a late stage Immortal King and an intermediate stage Immortal Reverent. The intermediate stage Immortal Reverent was a middle-aged woman called Yu Saijun. She did not seem to be a person of many words. Finally, that Immortal King was called Dong Sha. His injuries seemed the heaviest: half of his forehead was gone, and his entire face was spotted with bloodstains. "From now on, we are all from the same place. That place is Ping Fan. Ping Fan¡¯s motto is that everyone is equal. Even mortals and immortals are equal. This might sound like a joke, but this is the target that we are working towards." Mo Wuji did not want to tell Su Zi¡¯An that he was the sect head of Tian Ji Sect; he did not want Su Zi¡¯An and co. to be different from the others here. Now, there was no longer a Tian Ji Sect; everyone was a person of Ping Fan. Mo Wuji¡¯s words came down upon them like a huge rock. Even though this was Sword Prison and everyone knew that the hopes of leaving were sparse, everyone was still unable to understand Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Only Han Qingru was able to slightly understand Mo Wuji¡¯s meaning. Even back in Hundred Flowers Manor, Mo Wuji did not view immortals above ordinary mortals. Treating immortals equally. Even though this might sound absurd, at least it could still be said out loud. However, to treat immortals and mortals as equals was simply a dream. Mo WUji said calmly, "I know everyone might find my words unimaginable. But within Ping Fan, everyone is equal. Actually, I am not the first one to talk about equality. The Buddhist Sects of the Immortal World also have an ideology of equality. Theirs is even more absurd than mine; they are saying that all life is equal. Of course, many of these sects only express this in their words. They wouldn¡¯t even consider putting it in their actions. However, my Ping Fan is different. Since we talked about treating every person as equals, then there will be no demarcation between mortals and immortals." "Wuji, I believe that absolute equality is hard to achieve." Han Qingru, who was by the side, said worriedly. Mo Wuji nodded, "Senior Sister Qingru is right. Whether it was among mortals, or among immortals, it is impossible to attain absolute equality. Take our Ping Fan, for example, we have the sect head and we have the elders. In terms of status, it is already unequal. Then let¡¯s take the example of a criminal; he would no longer have the rights to be treated as equals with others. And if we compare the power and mind state between immortals and mortals, they are also not equal." As he said this, Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes slowly swept across the group, "The equality that I am talking about is referring equality in the measure of dao and moral ideologies. From today onwards, immortals of Ping Fan cannot slaughter mortals without reason. And when immortals trade with mortals, they must trade on equal standings." Being able to stand here, which one of them had not undergone countless of situations and dangers? Everyone naturally understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Even though none of them saw Mo Wuji¡¯s idea favourably, no one stepped out to disagree with it. They did not know that Mo Wuji himself was a mortal without spiritual roots. Thus, they found it very hard to understand why Mo Wuji would suggest treating mortals and immortals as equals. "This is Great Sword Path¡¯s Sword Prison. The Great Sword Path is the first immortal sect that I will destroy after I establish Ping Fan. So, there¡¯s one thing that we must do immediately, to leave Sword Prison. This place is also the first foothold for out Ping Fan." At this point, Mo Wuji suddenly called out, "Wei Zidao." "Wei Zidao is here." Wei Zidao was very clear that Mo Wuji needed to establish absolute control over Ping Fan now. Otherwise, Mo Wuji¡¯s unrealistic goals would simply die young. "You are the Revered Right Protector. You will take charge when I am not around." Mo Wuji fetched two jade vases, "These are Immortal Copious Pills and Zhi Nature Pills. Recover your powers as soon as possible. Get ready to leave Sword Prison at any moment." "Yes, sect head." Wei Zidao''s voice was filled with such emotion that it was trembling slightly. He was very clear how useful Zhi Nature Pills were to him. He could also understand why Mo Wuji didn''t give him these Zhi Nature Pills previously. It was because he hadn''t sworn an oath to join Ping Fan yet. If it was him, he also wouldn''t have given the pills. "Jian Mingcheng. You are Ping Fan''s Revered Lord of Legacy. You are in charge of recruitment of Ping Fan disciples when we get out." "Nie Chongan. You are Ping Fan''s Revered Lord of Internal Affairs. You are in charge of the building of Ping Fan when we get out." "Cha Rui will be Ping Fan''s First Elder, Su Zi¡¯An will be Ping Fan''s Second Elder, Fei Ling will be Ping Fan''s Third Elder, and Yu Saijun will be Ping Fan''s Fourth Elder. The exact allocation of duties will be done when we get out." "Dong Sha, Lu Ming..." Even though they haven''t left Sword Prison, Mo Wuji had already started delegating roles for Ping Fan. To him, it was a great fortune to find so many experts that were willing to join Ping Fan. He, alone, wasn''t enough to establish Ping Fan; he needed a group of like-minded people. He, himself, was only in the intermediate Grand Luo Stage. Even though his physique was already at God Physique Level 4, to establish and insert order into Ping Fan by himself would require more than a million years. A million years. Even his food would turn cold during that time. He wasn''t going to wait for that long. In merely half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji delegated everyone''s roles. At the same time, he gave out a total of twenty vases of Immortal Copious Pills and ten vases of Zhi Nature Pills for everyone to recover. Even before they established the sect, they had already obtained healing pills. This was the first time they were filled with hope and spirit ever since they entered Sword Prison. Wei Zidao, especially, was filled with shock. It was within reason that Mo Wuji could take out one to two vases of Zhi Nature Pills. However, to take out ten vases of Zhi Nature Pills at a single go, and unique grade ones at that, was simply like a fantasy. There was only one explanation, Mo Wuji, himself, was a Pill Emperor that could concoct unique grade Zhi Nature Pills. Since Wei Zidao was able to deduce it, Nie Chongan, Jian Mingcheng, and co. could also faintly guess that Mo Wuji was a Pill Emperor. After guessing that Mo Wuji was a Pill Emperor, these few Immortal Emperors were especially enlivened. In the Immortal World, the people that were most revered weren''t Immortal Emperors, but Pill Emperors and Dao Emperors. Besides these two, there were also supreme array masters. Mo Wuji called Shuai Guo out. After introducing Shuai Guo to everyone, he threw Shuai Guo into his array, allowing Shuai Guo to cultivate and temper his physique. This environment was great; so he was naturally going to let Shuai Guo temper itself here. The reason why he took out so many Zhi Nature Pills and Immortal Copious Pills was to hasten everyone''s recovery. The moment they left, it was very likely that there would be a huge battle. He did not want his disciples of Ping Fan to be entirely annihilated even before Ping Fan was established. After waiting for everyone to enter his defensive array to begin their recovery, Mo Wuji left this stretch of desert. There was no longer any meaning in staying here to cultivate. Now that he had reached God Physique Level 4, there were few places in Sword Prison, besides that sword qi whirlpool, that could harm him. While Mo Wuji wanted to search for a way out, he also wanted to continue tempering himself and his abilities. There were also two places that he wanted to go. The first was the spot that he landed on when he was first transferred here. He had left a spiritual will imprint there, and he wanted to check whether he could resonate with his transfer array discs that he left outside of that spot. If he still couldn''t feel his way out, then he would have to go to Sword Qi River. Actually, he shared similar thoughts with Bai Ye; he also believed that it was very likely that Sword Qi River was the way out. ¡­ The fringes of Broken World''s third level. There were at least hundreds of thousands of immortals squeezed here. Their cultivations ranged from the Heavenly Immortal Stage to the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Originally, only Grand Yi Immortals and below could enter the Broken World''s fourth level when it first opened. This time, the experts from the Very High Heavens used magic treasures which exceeded immortal equipments to forcefully open the fourth level, destroying some of the rules that govern that level. As a result, even Grand Luo Immortals were able to enter. A young man had already opened the entrance to Broken World''s fourth level. Even though there were countless of people squeezed crowded outside the entrance and all that stood in their way was this young man, none of them dared to charge in. Anyone that could come here knew clearly who this young man was. He was Very High Heavens'' Jin Yu, a Grand Emperor expert. Jin Yu''s gaze swept across the crowd and he said slowly, "This Broken World''s fourth level was opened at the expense of a treasure from the Very High Heavens. Thus, everyone that enters the Broken World must offer half of everything you find to the Very High Heavens. We will also use the rewards you obtain from the Very High Heavens to select the genius disciples to enter the Very High Heavens." No one expressed any disagreement; everyone already knew of this. Jin Yu nodded slightly and continued, "In the Broken World''s third level, there was a treasure called the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. However, it disappeared soon after it appeared. We guess that this treasure is likely to reappear in the fourth level. Anyone who obtains the Red Karmic Fire Lotus will have hand it over to the Very High Heavens. Of course, he would receive greater remunerations, and would be the core of our nurturing in the Very High Heavens¡­" "Senior Sister Su¡­" At one corner of the crowd, a thin man was just about to speak when he was instantly glared at by the girl beside him. Thereafter, that girl transmitted, "Junior Brother Hualong, if you have anything to say, say it inside. Don''t continue to utter any nonsense here." These two were exactly Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong who escaped from Mo Wuji''s Tian Ji Pill Court. They had always been hiding in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. However, after knowing that Mo Wuji was likely to have perished after being encircled by several Immortal Emperors, they took the risk to come to the Broken World with the hope of raising their cultivation. Chapter 708: The Red Lotus Appears Chapter 708: The Red Lotus Appears Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Why do I find you familiar?" A man in dark red robes suddenly looked at Su Rou''Er with a frown. Su Rou''Er''s heart started to palpitate in fear. Even if this man in front of her had turned to ash, she would still recognize him. This fella was the manager of the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao Merchant House at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins - Fu Zhensong. Back then, her Senior Brother Bian and her were captured by this exact person. If Yi Lan didn''t manage to obtain the help of Sect Head Mo, then she would have lost her life a long time ago. She had been careful this entire time; she never expected that she would be recognised by this Fu Zhensong. Naturally, Dou Hualong also recognised Fu Zhensong. His back was already drenched in sweat as he started to regret opening his mouth just now. Even though he knew that it was entirely out of coincidence that Fu Zhensong appeared here, he could not help but curse his luck. "I remember now. You''re that survivor from Tian Ji Sect. I caught you back then, I didn''t think that I would see you again today, hahahaha¡­" Fu Zhensong chuckled. Just at this instant, the crowd started to stir. Grand Emperor Jin Yu''s speech had come to an end, and the fourth level was officially opened. At the very first instant, Su Rou''Er grabbed Dou Hualong and charged straight into the Broken World''s fourth level. Su Rou''Er had been in hiding for all these years; when compared to Fu Zhensong, she was much better at grasping the right moment. With so many people flooding into the fourth level, even if Fu Zhensong''s guts were multiplied by a million, he also wouldn''t dare to take out his magic treasure and do anything here. Seeing Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong enter the Broken World, Fu Zhensong was infuriated and he sprinted in after them. "Senior sister, what should we do?" The moment they entered the fourth level, Dou Hualong asked anxiously. "Follow me." Su Rou''Er''s figure flashed as she found a direction to speed towards. The entrance of the fourth level was filled with fog, and spiritual will was also dampened within that space. After Fu Zhensong rushed in, he found that his spiritual will had already lost track of Su Rou''Er''s and Dou Hualong''s trail. This left his heart pounding in anger. He definitely wasn''t going to let these two people escape. "Senior sister, the direction that we are moving seems to be in the direction where spiritual energy is weakest. Big brother said this before, usually when a secret domain opens, places brimming with immortal spiritual energy would be the places where there are treasures." After moving for some time, Dou Hualong could not help but say. He felt that the direction Su Rou''Er was travelling towards was gradually diminishing in spiritual energy. The surrounding immortal herbs looked to be bleached and of low quality; even he wasn''t interested in taking them. Su Rou''Er said seriously, "Junior Brother Hualong, we''re currently being pursued by that Fu Zhensong. He is a Grand Yi Immortal. Even if the two of us joined forces, we wouldn''t be a match for him. The fourth level has just opened; everyone would be heading towards the places where spiritual energy is rich. If we go in the same direction, we would easily be noticed. Hence, we should move towards the direction where spiritual energy is weakest. There would definitely be few people who would come in this direction." "Senior sister is right. I am too inexperienced," Dou Hualong said in admiration. As the two continued moving, the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings for weaker and weaker. A few days later, the two of them couldn''t even find low tiered immortal herbs. That''s when Su Rou''Er slowed down. "For this short period of time, there shouldn''t be anyone here. We will hide around here for a period of them. Thereafter, we will slowly move towards the places rich in immortal spiritual energy. Our abilities are limited; so we could only try to find what other''s have miss out." Su Rou''Er also sighed. There were so many people that entered the Broken World''s fourth level, but now they were aiming to pick up the treasures that others have left behind. That was simply too difficult. Dou Hualong clenched his fists and said hatefully, "No matter what, I must take revenge for big brother. Those shameless b*stards from Great Sword Path and Lightning Sect, they actually sent multiple Grand Emperors to attack big brother¡­" When Dou Hualong got here, he suddenly paused. Immediately, he pointed in front of him and exclaimed in shock, "Senior Sister, what''s that?" Not far away, there was a dried up lake in front. Right at the center of the lake, there was a floating red lotus. The lotus only had 11 petals and it was especially dazzling. "Red Karmic Fire Lotus¡­" Su Rou''Er''s voice quivered. She was sure that this was a Red Karmic Fire Lotus. "Hurry, let''s hurry and collect that Red Karmic Fire Lotus. If this thing ever gets revealed, the two of us wouldn''t even be left with our bones." Su Rou''Er''s voice was trembling heavily. She never expected that she would actually encounter the Red Karmic Fire Lotus at a place where there wasn''t spiritual energy at all. "I know. It should be because the Red Karmic Fire Lotus has sucked away all the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings. This is why the spiritual energy here is especially sparse." Dou Hualong was also incomparably excited. ¡­ Mo Wuji stood on a spacious beach of shredded rocks. His eyes were filled with disappointment. He had left his spiritual will imprint here, but no matter how he tried to activate his transfer array talisman, he wasn''t able to connect with the transfer array discs that he left outside. From the looks of it, it was only a pipedream to use the transfer array discs to leave this place. If he wanted to leave Sword Prison, he could only go to Sword Qi River. Multiple days later, Mo Wuji came back to the edge of Sword Qi River. Ever since the Vine Mountain of Safety disappeared, there didn''t seem to be a single person that came to collect water. At this instant, the surroundings of Sword Qi River was pitch silent. A light fog floated above the surface of Sword Qi River; it looked just like an ordinary dewy lake in the morning. Concentrated sword qi sailed past Mo Wuji. Even though some landed on Mo Wuji, they did not even form a scratch on Mo Wuji''s body. Even though Mo Wuji was only at the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage, his physique had already reached God Physique Intermediate Stage. The sword qi here was indeed very strong, but it was still unable to do anything to his fleshly body. Mo Wuji sat by the bank of Sword Qi River. He didn''t go to collect water. Instead, he sat there silently and felt the sword qi around him. His spiritual will was still unable to penetrate into Sword Qi River; it wasn''t even able to feel the surging and raging sword qi within the river. Mo Wuji waited for himself to grow accustomed with the sword qi at the river bank. Then, he condensed his spiritual eye and looked at Sword Qi River. Under his spiritual eye, the dense and terrifying sword qi was no longer invisible. That boundless and concentrated sword qi condensed from the surface of Sword Qi River, then transformed into countless of sword qi beams that shot out at great speeds. In merely half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji felt his spiritual eye experiencing bouts of pain. He hurriedly closed his spiritual eye and swallowed some pills. Even though the sword qi wouldn''t directly strike his spiritual eye, observing the sword qi for a long time was still too much for his spiritual eye to bear. If he wasn''t in a hurry to get out, Mo Wuji would wait till he was in the Immortal King Stage before he came back. Unfortunately, who knows how long he would take to reach the Immortal King Stage while in Sword Prison. After another two hours, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye again and observed Sword Qi River. He didn''t go down into the river; the sword qi in the river would harm his spiritual eye. This caused Mo Wuji to suspect that he, himself, might not be able to endure it if he entered Sword Qi River. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t observe the process of sword qi forming from the surface of Sword Qi River. Instead, his spiritual eye penetrated through the surface and looked stiahtt into the river. Ten breaths later, Mo Wuji discovered, in astonishment, that there was a longsword stabbed into the riverbed. The longsword looked very ordinary, but Mo Wuji could see clearly that the boundless sword qi was emanated from this longsword. Mo Wuji inhaled a deep breath of cold air. Sword Qi River was indeed the source of the sword qi in Sword Prison. One longsword was actually able to fill the entire Sword Prison with sword qi. It could even tear a person''s primordial spirit. How terrifying was the owner of this longsword? His spiritual eye started to experience waves of pain once more. Mo Wuji immediately closed his spiritual eye. After another two hours, Mo Wuji opened his spiritual eye again. At the same time, he carefully extended an arm into the river water. An icy cold sensation assaulted him. Before Mo Wuji could feel this coldness, boundless sword qi enveloped his entire body. Mo Wuji''s spiritual eye could see it clearly, the boundless sword qi had started to ravage his fleshly body. At the same time, more sword qi had charged into his violet sea of consciousness. "Pff!" An arrow of blood shot out. Mo Wuji''s entire body looked like it was being slashed by countess of radiant blades. In an instant, he had become a blood man. Sword qi furiously tore at Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness and violently ripped Mo Wuji''s flesh and skin. At this instant, every drop of Mo Wuji''s blood, and every inch of his skin was being greedily devoured by these hungry sword qi. Even though his body was being ravaged beyond the point of recognition, Mo Wuji still calmly opened his spiritual eye and observed the devastation of the Sword Qi River¡¯s sword qi. If Mo Wuji came here to extract water, he could have already extracted more water than he would have wanted. One must know that when Pang Hong and co. came to extract water, they would immediately retreat with their buckets the moment they touch the water. Mo Wuji, on the other hand, was already in the Sword Qi River for more than ten breaths of time. The sword qi concentrated on him got heavier and heavier. Mo Wuji could even hear his bones emitting "Chi! Chi!" sounds due to the sword qi. The skin on his face seemed to be nonexistent. Mo Wuji remained calm as he allowed the raging sword qi to ravage his flesh and sea of consciousness. At this instant, not only were his 108 meridians joined in a major circulation path, he even formed circulated his physique tempering technique and his cultivation technique. Not only that, he was even circulating the Star Sea Sacred Technique. Only when one spent a prolonged period of time in Sword Qi River, would one know how intense the immortal spiritual energy within Sword Qi River was. It was because the immortal spiritual energy was so intense, that Mo Wuji decided to cultivate. After circulating his Immortal Mortal Technique, his physique tempering technique would also resonate more strongly with the Immortal spiritual energy, speeding up the tempering of his physique. The Star Sea Sacred Technique, on the other hand, helped to resolve any danger from the sword qi towards the large violet lake within his sea of consciousness. Circulating his Star Sea Sacred Technique was actually more than a hundred folds than under ordinary circumstances. Only when there¡¯s pressure, then there¡¯s motion. For his physique temperong, the Sword Qi River¡¯s boundless sword qi was the pressure. For his Star Sea Sacred Technique, the sword qi continuously stabbing into Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness was also a pressure. Feeling his sea of consciousness getting increasingly sturdy, his violet lake of energy seemed to be experiencing a qualitative change. Mo Wuji even wanted to thank Tai Shixiao. If not for Tai Shixiao, he wouldn''t have the Star Sea Sacred Technique. Moreover, as Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness continued to be ravaged by the boundless sword qi, he started to understand some of the principles of Star Sea Sacred Technique that he didn''t understand before. At the beginning, Mo Wuji''s fleshly body was continuously wrecked as the boundless sword qi continuously wrecked him. Towards the back, Mo Wuji¡¯s physique tempering started to consume the sword qi, and his sea of consciousness training also started to form a balance with the surging sword qi. Mo Wuji completely forgot about the pain that he was feeling as he immersed himself within these constantly ravaging sword qi. Chapter 709: My Tolerance Is Low Chapter 709: My Tolerance Is Low Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he immersed himself in the double pain from his body and his sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji unconsciously advanced from God Physique Level 4 to Level 5. When he reached God Physique Level 5, Mo Wuji didn''t even need to use any healing pills for his surface injuries to gradually recover. The moment his injuries gradually disappeared, Mo Wuji''s cultivation started to soar speedily. Ultimately, cultivating the Dao was about Great Perfection; there cannot be any leaks or flaws. An injured body was a flawed body. It didn¡¯t matter how much immortal spiritual energy you observed, there would still be limits to your improvement. The immortal spiritual energy within Sword Qi River was so dense, it seemed rather exaggerated. Moreover, all 108 of Mo Wuji''s meridians were simultaneously circulating, and they had even formed a major circulation path. His current pace of absorption was borderline terrifying. Even so, his rate of improvement was still extremely slow. It could be said to have halted. This was because his fleshly body was injuried, which meant that it was a flawed body. Mo Wuji¡¯s reverse cultivation technique might have been a modification of the Immortal Mortal Technique, however, it was still based on the dao laws of the Heaven and Earth. If he didn¡¯t exceed these laws, then he would still be helpless and unable to allow a flawed body to advance. Moreover, he was different from most other cultivators; a majority of cultivators still had their primordial spirit even if their fleshly body was injured. Mo Wuji, however, was an existence without a primordial spirit. When Mo Wuji''s physique entered God Physique Level 5 and as his body started to recover, there was a marked increase in his cultivation speed. At this instant, the rich immortal spiritual energy could truly be converted into his personal immortal elemental energy. Half a year passed. When Mo Wuji stepped into God Physique Level 6, his cultivation also advanced into the late Grand Luo Immortal Stage. ¡­ Not far from where Mo Wuji was sitting in concentration, a thin man was staring at Mo Wuji with a devious expression on his face. This man was the one that was heavily injured by Mo Wuji - Bai Ye. During this entire time, Bai Ye only barely managed to recover half his power; he was still far from his previous condition. However, he believed that if he wanted to get rid of Mo Wuji, his current ability should suffice. He did not dare to go to that desert of Mo Wuji¡¯s; Mo Wuji''s killing array had left an indelible impression in him. He wanted to kill Mo Wuji, but he did not dare to do it within Mo Wuji''s territory. However, he had confidence that he would be able to off Mo Wuji if they were any where else in Sword Prison. But at this instant, he was stunned still. He saw that both of Mo Wuji''s feet were actually emersed within Sword Qi River, and it had been in there the whole time. Bai Ye was astutely aware of how terrifying Sword Qi River was. There was no need to talk about placing both his feet into Sword Qi River for a prolonged period of time like Mo Wuji. With his abilities, even if he touched Sword Qi River and immediately backed up, he would still suffering heavy injuries. Could it be¡­ Bai Ye inhaled a breath of cold air. He immediately understood one thing. Mo Wuji definitely had a God Physique. As for the exact level, he wasn''t all too sure. Thereafter, Bai Ye immediately rejoiced. Mo Wuji''s physique tempering technique was definitely much stronger than his. According to ancient records, the strongest physique tempering technique belonged to the witch race. Mo Wuji''s cultivation shouldn''t be too high, but he was actually able to attain the God Physique in such a short period of time. He must definitely be cultivating the witch race''s physique tempering technique. If he managed to get this technique from Mo Wuji, then how great would it be? He would also be able to obtain the God Physique in a short amount of time. As for a nirvanic evolution treasure that could allow him to advance and attain the God Physique, what was better than Mo Wuji¡¯s body? A God Physique body was simply a gift from Heaven. The moment he advanced to the God Physique, he was confident that he could go and investigate that sword qi whirlpool or Sword Qi River. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation was weak, but he, on the other hand, was at the pinnacle of the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. If he was able to find a way out, would there be anyone left in the Immortal World that he, Bai Ye, would need to fear? As he thought of this, Bai He almost laughed out hysterically. Mo Wuji was currently deeply immersed in his cultivation; he only needed to be stealthy and he could eliminate Mo Wuji. Bai Ye forcefully calmed down his racing and agitated heart, and he slowly took out his magic treasure. He needed to kill his opponent in a single blow; he definitely couldn''t give Mo Wuji a single chance to retaliate. With every step he took, Bai He was calculating his distance from Mo Wuji, as well as the probability of success with a single sneak attack. In his eyes, every step he took forward would increase his chances of success by a whole fold. Just when Bai Ye was calculating how many more steps he should take, he suddenly paused. He even forgot to place his feet, which he had just lifted, back down. He stared at Mo Wuji blankly, his heart was entirely filled with fear. Mo Wuji, who was previously sitting by the river bank, was actually slowly entering Sword Qi River. He was sure that Mo Wuji didn''t walk in because Mo Wuji spotted him and tried to retreat on fear. It was because Mo Wuji''s physique had advanced, which was why he could step deeper into Sword Qi River. "Sh!" After a long time, Bai Ye uttered a long moan as he turned and left speedily. He knew that he no longer had the chance to eliminate Mo Wuji. Even if Mo Wuji was out of Sword Qi River, he still wouldn¡¯t have the qualifications to kill Mo Wuji. A cultivator that could enter Sword Qi River. How terrifying was that? How long had he, Bai Ye, been trapped in Sword Prison? How many times had he had collected water from Sword Qi River? He was clearer than anyone else about how terrifying Mo Wuji was at this instant. Mo Wuji didn''t even fear the sword qi from Sword Qi River. Would Mo Wuji fear his simple attack? ¡­ "Pff!" A sword qi, which was almost able to tear Mo Wuji''s heart out of his chest, landed on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji coughed out an entire mouthful of vital essence as his entire body fell forward. Mo Wuji, who was immersed in his physique tempering and cultivation, completely awakened. Mo Wuji was just about to condense his spiritual eye when he discovered, in delight, that his spiritual will was already able to extend outwards. He was currently at the riverbed of Sword Qi River, and he was completely surrounded by river water. He wasn''t completely unaware that he had gradually walked into Sword Qi River. It was just that he was completely immersed in his rapid growth. "Pff!" Another powerful beam of sword qi slammed against Mo Wuji¡¯s chest; he was sent flipping once again. This time, Mo Wuji instantly stabilised his body. He had finally seen what had happened. He was only ten steps away from the longsword embedded in the river bed. That longsword was the source of the sword qi in Sword Qi River. He got too close to it, which was why he was maimed by the sword qi. Even though he was already at God Physique Level 6, he was still an ant-like existence in front of this sword. Mo Wuji tried using his spiritual will to probe that sword, but just as his spiritual will approached it, his spiritual will was sliced cleanly by the sword qi. As a portion of his spiritual will got sliced off, Mo Wuji forcefully endured the intense pain as he retreated backwards. He only managed to stabilise himself when he was 30 meters away from that longsword. On the spot, Mo Wuji adjusted his attitude. This longsword was definitely not something that he could obtain with his current abitlities. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t a sword cultivator; so it didn¡¯t really matter to him that he wouldn¡¯t get this sword. After Mo Wuji continued to retreat another 30 meters, he sat down and started his cultivation. It was unknown where this Sword Qi River originated from, Mo Wuji felt that the immortal spiritual energy here was even richer than his immortal spiritual vein back in Extreme Glade Sea. Even the quality of the immortal spiritual energy here was slightly higher. Since he had already come here, how could he not make use of the immortal spiritual energy here? He was now in the late Grand Luo Immortal Stage. He wanted to cultivate to the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, then advance to the Immortal King Stage. Only then, would he consider leaving. After distancing himself from that longsword, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation started to rise rapidly. The rich immortal spiritual energy was sufficient for his cultivation, but Mo Wuji still used large amounts of Tier 6 pills to assist him. As a Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji knew that using so many immortal pills now would cause many repurcussions in his cultivation in the future. However, he no longer cared about anything else; raising his cultivation was his main priority. Fortunately, he was an expert with a God Physique Level 6 body. As long as his cultivation reached the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, he could spend some time to temper his physique and get rid of some of the residual effects of the pills. Another three months passed. Mo Wuji opened his eyes and punched forward. With this single punch, the river water around him directly blasted away. Even the sword qi was turned into dregs with this punch. At the same time, Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Luo Immortal Domain extended outwards. His whielpool domain directly clashed with the Sword Qi River¡¯s sword qi. With his domain out, there was no longer any sword qi within a 10 meter radius around him. Mo Wuji turned to look at that longsword not far away. If he just had a little bit more time, perhaps just five to six years, he had confidence that he would be able to advance to God Physique Level 7. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t wait that long. He needed to find a way out as soon as possible. Sword Qi River¡¯s river bed wasn¡¯t muddy or sludgy; it was made out of sturdy rock. Thus, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t face any difficulty as he sprinted on the river bed. He did not retract his Grand Luo Immortal Domain; he constantly extended it. He could only extend his domain if his spiritual will could be extended. After continuous training under Sword Qi River, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could already extend up to 30 meters. His domain could, thus, extend outwards for up to 10 meters, sweeping away any sword qi within this area. If he could really find a way out in Sword Qi River, then he would definitely bring away everyone from Ping Fan. Besides him, the others would need the protection of his domain to enter Sword Qi River. One day later, Mo Wuji stopped running. He felt that such aimless running wasn¡¯t going to help. Sword Qi River was like Lifeless River; it was boundless and there was no end in sight. Moreover, his spiritual will was constrained here. If he continued to run aimlesssly, he still might not be able to find a way out even after many years. At this moment, Mo Wuji thought about Bai Ye. If he wanted to find a way out within Sword Qi River, then he would need Bai Ye to help. That fella was adroit in the deduction of heavenly fate. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, Bai Ye was more suitable to be a cultivator of Tian Ji Sect. [1] Mo Wuji was a man of action. He did not hesitate as he charged out of Sword Qi River. He was going to catch Bai Ye and get Bai Ye to deduce where was the exit in Sword Qi River. ¡­ Within a small stone forest in Sword Prison, Bai Ye was hiding under a sturdy rock. The expression in his eyes looked serious; it was unknown what he was thinking of. He didn¡¯t temper his physique, nor did he cultivate. Over these few months, the scene of Mo Wuji entering Sword Qi River had been continuously flashing in his mind. It had left him feeling both fear and jealousy. "Bai Ye, you¡¯re really quite a finder. You actually managed to find such a good place." A voice suddenly pulled Bai Ye out of his thoughts. He stood up and stared in shock as he saw Mo Wuji slowly walking over. "Sect Head Mo, you said that you were going to let go of me. Are you going to go back on your words?" If he hadn¡¯t seen Mo Wuji enter Sword Qi River, Bai Ye would have been delighted right now. But now, his heart was filled with shock and fear. He did not understand how Mo Wuji was able to find him. Mo Wuji said calmly, "I had been intending to let you off. However, a few months ago, you tried to plot against me back at Sword Qi River. Don¡¯t forget that my tolerance is very low." Bai Ye¡¯s head started to buzz. Mo Wuji was clearly deep in his cultivation; how did Mo Wuji know of this? [1] Tian Ji means heavenly fate. Chapter 710: There’s A Shadow In Bai Ye’s Heart Chapter 710: There¡¯s A Shadow In Bai Ye¡¯s Heart Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "How did you manage to find me?" Bai Ye suddenly felt his hairs stand. Trying to find a person in this vast Sword Prison was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. This difficult task was actually done by this Sect Head Mo in front of him; he subconsciously started to shiver. At this instant, he started to feel a sense of self-contempt. He had always been thinking that he wasn¡¯t going to let go of Mo Wuji; he even thought that he could Mo Wuji as long as they weren¡¯t in that killing array. But now, Mo Wuji was right in front of him, but he, Bai Ye, actually didn¡¯t dare to do anything. This was the second time that he had such fear towards Mo Wuji. The first time was when he personally witnessed Mo Wuji enter Sword Qi River; that scene had thoroughly and deeply shocked him. Ever since then, and even now, that scene was fleeting in his mind. What was scariest was the unknown; he didn¡¯t know exactly how powerful Mo Wuji was; he didn¡¯t know why Mo Wuji was able to enter Sword Qi River; and he didn¡¯t know how Mo Wuji was able to find him so easily. "That¡¯s not for you to know. Previously, you tried to plot against me; so I need you to offer some compensation," Mo Wuji said indifferently. Back when Bai Ye left his killing array, Mo Wuji had used his spirit storage channel to leave behind an imprint on baiYe. He was sure that Bai Ye definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to discover that spiritual will imprint. If this was outside Sword Prison, it would simply be a joke if Mo Wuji tried to place a spiritual will imprint on an Immortal Emperor like Bai Ye. However, this was Sword Prison. Back then, Bai Ye¡¯s entire body had been cleaved apart by Mo Wuji; he would have to spend all his effort and energy just to hold himself together and recover. How could Bai Ye have spare energy to check whether there was any spiritual will imprint on him? Even if he did, his primordial spirit had already been badly damaged because of Sword Prison; so it might not necessarily be able to locate the imprint. It was exactly because of this that Mo Wuji knew that Bai Ye was approaching him when he was on the river banks of Sword Qi River. Bai Ye¡¯s killing intent came and left like the wind. Back then, Mo Wuji was at a critical point in his physique tempering and he didn¡¯t bother to chase after Bai Ye. If not because he needed Bai Ye¡¯s help, he would have been too lazy to even look for Bai Ye. "What do you want? I¡¯ve been trapped in Sword Prison for many years. I don¡¯t have any thing of value." Bai Ye stood up and looked at Mo Wuji in fear. His most valuable object was his eight trigrams disc, but this eight trigrams disc was his core treasure, he definitely wasn¡¯t going to give it to Mo Wuji. "Those things on you don¡¯t even catch my eye. I only need you to help me with something. After I entered Sword Qi River, I was unable to find the way out. You are capable in the Dao of Prophecy. Help me deduce where¡¯s the strand of hope in Sword Qi River." Mo Wuji said calmly. Bai Ye went blank. If he hadn¡¯t personally seen Mo Wuji enter Sword Qi River, he would definitely have thought that Mo Wuji was trying to scam him to enter Sword Qi River. "With my current capability, I¡¯m unable to enter Sword Qi River." When Bai Ye heard Mo Wuji¡¯s request, he lamented. With his power, he would simply be courting death if he entered Sword Qi River. If Mo Wuji still wanted to force him to enter Sword Qi River, then he could only burn all his boats and have an all-out battle with Mo Wuji. "What do you think is the possibility of the exit being in Sword Qi River?" Mo Wuji asked another question. After exchanging these few words, Bai Ye¡¯s fear towards Mo Wuji gradually toned down, "There¡¯s a 90% possibility that the exit to Sword Prison is in Sword Qi River, my divination wouldn¡¯t be wrong. Thereafter, I also performed a divination at the sword qi whirlpool. This one, however, was slightly hazy. There seemed to be a path of life, but within that path of life, there also seemed to be a path of death. Moreover, this path of death wasn¡¯t largely related to sword qi. There¡¯s also one thing that I am confused about; I seemed to feel that there was another life within the sword qi whirlpool." When Mo Wuji heard this last sentence of Bai Ye¡¯s, he became more sure of Bai Ye¡¯s divination. There was indeed someone within the sword qi whirlpool; he had seen it himself. "Bai Ye, I need you to follow me to Sword Qi River; I will use my domain to protect you. Besides you, everyone else from my sect will be following us to Sword Qi River. Of course, you would be the one to find us the way out," Mo Wuji stared at Bai Ye and said. Bai Ye jolted; he was going to use his divination to find a way out? Since this Sect Head Mo wasn¡¯t bringing him alone, then it meant that he wasn¡¯t lying. Did that mean that he could get out too? As he thought of this, Bai Ye¡¯s heart immediately started beating with fervour. He clasped his fists to Mo Wuji and said, "Sect Head Mo, there¡¯ no problem with me finding you a way out. But, I need to follow the rest of you out. And after we get out, you must not act against me." Mo Wuji nodded, "Sure, I can promise you that. After we leave, all our favours and enmities would be struck off. Of course, if you dare to offend me once more, then don¡¯t blame me for not being courteous." "Alright, I will take your word for it. After we leave, we will no longer go against one another," Bai Ye did not hesitate to say. Offend Mo Wuji once more? He, Bai Ye, was no idiot. Since he was going to escape, why would he want to offend and create such a terrifying enemy? ¡­ "Sect head found a way out?" Back in Mo Wuji¡¯s protective array, Fei Ling and co. were looking towards Mo Wuji in disbelief. Mo Wuji had left for an entire year, and the moment he returned, he claimed that he found a way out. Why did this sound so unrealistic? One must know that many Immortal Emperors, including Wei Zidao, did not mannage to find an exit even after countless of years. Mo Wuji could see that during this time he had been gone, everyone¡¯s primordial spirits had largely stabilised, and no injuries could be seen on their bodies anymore. He was rather contented. From the looks of it, his Zhi Nature Pill had been effective. Such an immortal pill was a treasure anywhere in the world. Moreover, he gave out ten vases of it at a single go. "That¡¯s right, I have indeed found a way out. It wasn¡¯t that you guys are unable to find it, but it was because you guys don¡¯t have the ability to enter Sword Qi River." Mo Wuji answered. "Sect head, the exit is in Sword Qi River?" Wei Zidao was slightly shocked. In reality, many of them had already guessed that the exit was either in Sword Qi River or the sword qi whirlpool. However, neither of these places were places they could approach. There was no need to talk about finding an exit, just approaching these places could cause them to lose their lives. Mo Wuji explained, "I¡¯m also not too sure about the exact location. We can enter the river first. The exact location would be provided with Bai Ye¡¯s divination. I believe that Bai Ye would be able to achieve that. Also, everyone doesn¡¯t need to worry about the sword qi from Sword Qi River. My domain would act as a safety zone. After we enter the river, everyone just needs to keep within 10 meters from me, then there wouldn¡¯t be a problem." Hearing that Bai Ye would be providing a divination, even Wei Zidao believed that it wouldn¡¯t be wrong. Everyone knew of Bai Ye¡¯s abilty; back then, Bai Ye had prophecised that there would be danger to the Vine Mountain of Safety, which was why he wasn¡¯t willing to stay there. "Sect head, should we find the exit first before we enter?" Jian Mingcheng suggested. He was worried that Bai Ye¡¯s divination might take too long, and Mo Wuji¡¯s domain might not be able to take it. "There¡¯s no need," Mo Wuji said prompty, "we¡¯ll enter Sword Qi River now. As for the sword talismans on all of you, we would have to wait till we exit Sword Prison before we deal with them. I believe that with everyone¡¯s capabilities, you all could easily remove the sword talismans that Great Sword Path placed on you once we leave this Sword Prison." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have the abilty of divination, but he could faintly feel that this desert wasn¡¯t a place that they could stay for long. It wasn¡¯t that there was a problem with the desert, it was just that he didn¡¯t trust Sword Prison. A calamity had even befell the Vine Mountain of Safety; that would always be a prick in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. If the Vine Mountain of Safety was really a heart, then that fella concealed in Sword Prison was truly too scary. If that fella recovers, then none of them could escape. Except for incident with Vine Mountain of Safety, that corpse within the sword qi whirlpool was also a threat. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to deal with any of these things. Previously, he didn¡¯t have any means of leaving, which was why he brought his disciples of Ping Fan to hide in this desert. Now that he had the abilty, he was going to use his fastest speed possible to leave Sword Prison. "Sect head, rest assured. As long as we leave Sword Prison, Great Sword Path¡¯s sword talisman would merely be an itch," Fei Ling said with great confidence. He wasn¡¯t bragging. After spending so much time in Sword Prison, all of them already knew clearly how the sword talisman works. The reason why they didn¡¯t remove them was because they truly didn¡¯t have the capabilty to do so here in Sword Prison. The sword qi here was too impressive; it could damage their primordial spirits and their souls. If that¡¯s the case, then how could they remove the seals from the sword talismans? Bow that Mo Wuji had given them so many Zhi Nature Pills, and they had spent so much time recuperating on this desert, they would soon be able to remove the sword talisman even if they didn¡¯t leave Sword Prison. ¡­ Mo Wuji brought his Ping Fan out; Bai Ye was already waiting for them outside. He clasped his hands awkwardly towards Wei Zidao, "Immortal Friend Zidao, I seek your forgiveness over the previously." Wei Zidao said indifferently, "It¡¯s nothing. After all, I was placed in a disadvantageous situation." Bai Ye raged in his heart; so what if this Wei Zidao was a late stage Immortal Emperor? If not for Mo Wuji, even if he, Bai Ye, wasn¡¯t able to injure Wei Zidao, he still wouldn¡¯t have any need to fear him. This fella was actually scolding him now? However, now that Mo Wuji was here, he didn¡¯t say anything. As long as he could leave Sword Prison, he would have plenty more opportunities to discipline Wei Zidao. He did not dare to go against Mo Wuji, but that didn¡¯t mean that he, Bai Ye, was afraid of Wei Zidao. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything. Wei Zidao was a late stage Immortal Emperor, but he was still bullied by Bai Ye. It would be weird if he accepted it willingly. After these two leave, they would definitely have another battle, but he, Mo Wuji, wasn¡¯t going to care about such matters. The line of people soon came to the edge of Sword Qi River. As they felt the boundless and sharp sword qi, everyone felt uncertain even though they knew that they would have the protection of Mo Wujis domain. Which one of them didn¡¯t know how terrifying Sword Qi River was? There was no need to talk about entering Sword Qi River, just dipping a finger into Sword Qi River could kill them. "Enter the river." Mo Wuji did not hesitate. The moment they reached the edge of the river, he immediately entered. When they saw Mo Wuji enter the river, everyone, excluding Bai Ye, was filled with incomparably shock. This was the same for Wei Zidao. Ever since he came to Sword Prison, he had never thought that a person could actually enter Sword Qi River. Chapter 711: Leaving Sword Prison Chapter 711: Leaving Sword Prison Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Han Qingru¡¯s had the lowest cultivation level; so she closely followed by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. The others also didn¡¯t want to lag behind. The sect head had said it before, his domain only extended up 10 meters. If they were out of those 10 meters, then they would definitely be shredded into pieces by the sword qi here. The line of people entered Sword Qi River with palpitating hearts. When their entire body had entered the river, they actually found that they did not feel a single beam of sword qi. They were incomparably elated and their heavy hearts lightened significantly. Sword Qi River wasn¡¯t very deep. After everyone entered the river, Mo Wuji swept out his immortal elemental energy, instantly blasting all the surrounding water away. At this moment, everyone landed on the firm and sturdy river bed. "What a good sword!" By this time, everyone already discovered the longsword that was stabbed into the river bed. When everyone saw this sword, they finally became clear of the reason why Sword Prison existed. It was due to this longsword. One could only imagine how powerful this sword was. If they could obtain this sword, then it would definitely be the number one magic treasure in the entire Immortal World. "Everyone, stop looking. Even I¡¯m unable to obtain that sword, so there¡¯s no need to overthink it. Bai Ye, hurry and use your divination to find our way out. Our time in Sword Qi River is limited." Mo Wuji directly interrupted everyone¡¯s greedy thoughts. "Yes." Bai Ye also hurriedly retracted his gaze and he quickly retrieved his eight trigrams disc. Everyone thought that Mo Wuji was referring to his domain when he said that their time was limited. They did not know that Mo Wuji said that because he felt that it wasn¡¯t safe to continue staying within Sword Prison. As for the time that his domain could be used for, with his current sea of consciousness, his domain could be extended for several months. Moreover, he still had his spirit storage channel. Bai Ye sat beside the eight trigrams disc as he continuously flashed out various handseals. At the same time, he started to chant some unknown words. After half an incense¡¯s time, that silent eight trigrams disc suddenly glowed with a faint light. This faint light started to get brighter and brighter, and thereafter, it gradually began to condense in a particular direction. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes went bright. He could see that this eight trigrams disc of Bai Ye¡¯s was really an impressive auxilary treasure. Indeed, after two hours, all those spots of light condensed to form an arrow. That arrow pointed towards a particular direction. Bai Ye stood up and kept the eight trigrams disc and said, "Sect Head Mo, we just need to follow according to this direction." Mo Wuji nodded, "Everyone, carefully follow behind me. The sword qi in Sword Qi River is very strong. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you are an Immortal Emperor, if you get more than 10 meters away from me, then you would very likely be torn to pieces by the sword qi." Mo Wuji suspected that Bai Ye didn¡¯t use any sort of divination art just now; it was his eight trigrams disc which had the ability to search for a way out. Back when Bai Ye was trapped in his killing array, Bai Ye was also able to find a way to break the array in a short time. If he didn¡¯t react quickly and changed the position of the array gate, his array could have been easily broken apart by Bai Ye. The reason why Bai Ye was so afraid of him was exactly because of his quick trick. If Bai Ye knew that he could easily break the array, then Bai Ye probably wouldn¡¯t have behaved so well in front of him. Over these years, Bai Ye¡¯s willpower had undoubtedly been tampered. Bai Ye would definitely regain his confidence quickly the moment the he exits the Sword Prison. Mo Wuji moved really quickly; the others didn¡¯t dare to lag behind. Almost all of them stayed within 3 meters of Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji had said that a radius of 10 meters was a safety zone, everyone felt that it was safer to be as close as possible to Mo Wuji. ¡­ Outside the defensive array back at the desert, two sneaky looking cultivators were continuously looking around. After some time, one of them said, "Kuang Yi, this doesn¡¯t seem right. Back when we came to investigate, we found that the immortal spiritual energy in the area was being absorbed; there should be people cultivating inside. But why does it seem so silent now? Could they all have gone?" The cultivator beside him was also staring at the array with wide eyes. After some time, he finally said, "What you said might be right. They might really have left." "Should we attack this array and take a look?" "Hmm! If those people haven¡¯t left and you attacked the array, aren¡¯t you courting death? Let¡¯s just return and tell master that these people might have really left." As the two spoke, they had already started to hastily retreat. Those were the two that left the Vine Mountain of Safety. Because of their self-preservation, they were chased away by Mo Wuji. At this moment, they were charging straight to the sword qi whirlpool. If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely have doubted his eyes. These two cultivators that had never tempered their physiques before, were actually going straight to the sword qi whirlpool without hesitation? Were they courting death? The two weren¡¯t courting death, nor did they end up being grinded by the sword qi whirlpool. Instead, they went to the center of the whirlpool and they were sucked away by some force. At the next instant, the two appeared in a cave. In that cave, there was a man that looked no different from a skeleton. By this man¡¯s side, there was another cultivator kneeling. "Master, that Mo Wuji has brought those people and left. There does not seem to be anyone left in that array¡­" Before that cultivator named Kuang Yi could finish his words, that skeleton¡¯s figure disappeared without a trace. In merely ten breaths of time, that skeleton man appeared outside of Mo Wuji¡¯s array and slammed down on it with his palm. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s array was shattered into pieces and vanished without a trace. However, how could they still be people left inside? "What a cunning kid. These mere prey dare to escape in front of me? Stop dreaming." That skeleton man waved his hand, and all the sword qi in the area, which could cause even Immortal Emperors to quiver in fear, started to form an invisible sword qi circle within this man¡¯s palm. At the next instant, that skeleton stared at Sword Qi River in shock. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "To think that someone could enter the river? And to bring to many people in with him? That¡¯s an amazing physique tempering technique¡­" That skeleton man hastily sped to the side of Sword Qi River, and without hesitation, he jumped right in. This Sword Qi River which could tear one¡¯s flesh and soul did not seem to be able to do anything to this skeleton man. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji and company would not be able to leave from Sword Qi River, his heart was still filled with rage. The Vine Mountain of Safety was that old monster¡¯s; so he did not dare to touch it. But now, the ants that he had been rearing in that desert had actually escaped. If this went on, when would he be able to leave? Because he knew how vast Sword Qi River was, he knew that he would not be able to find Mo Wuji. If he knew that it would end up like this, he would not have allowed them to slowly grow, but directly grabbed them into his sword qi whirlpool. ¡­ Six hours later, Mo Wuji stopped. The directional light from Bai Ye¡¯s eight trigrams disc had disappeared. "Bai Ye, what¡¯s going on?" Mo Wuji frowned and said. This place clearly wasn¡¯t the exit because it was no different from the other parts of Sword Qi River. They were still standing on hard and firm rock, and they were still being surrounded by river water. Bai Ye was also dumbfounded. When he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s question, he hurriedly said, "Sect head Mo, let me try again." Bai Ye sat down and activated his eight trigrams disc once more. After two more hours, his eight trigrams disc still was not able to condense another arrow. No matter how many dots of light came out from the disc, they would quickly vanish. Everyone turned to look at Bai Ye with suspicious gazes. Bai Ye acted as though he did not notice the gazes as he extended one of his hand and placed it on the eight trigrams disc while his other hand continuously formed hand seals. Mo Wuji stared closely at Bai Ye¡¯s hand seals. He was sure that Bai Ye was no longer borrowing the power of the eight trigrams disc to determine the direction. Instead, Bai Ye was truly performing his divination. Bai Ye¡¯s hand seals were profound and enigmatic. Even Mo Wuji, this progenitor of the meridian cultivation technique, was unable to see through the meaning behind Bai Ye¡¯s hand seals. He could only feel that each hand seal of Bai Ye contained the Great Dao of the Heaven and Earth, and each movement of each tremor contained some indescribable dao aura. Another four hours passed. By this time, Bai Ye¡¯s face was already as pale as a piece of white paper. He finally stopped his hand seals and he opened his eyes and said, "Sect head Mo, this is really the exit." "Everyone, stand behind me. I will go in and take a look." Mo Wuji could tell that Bai Ye wasn¡¯t lying. After the group all came close to him, Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye. A faint void transfer rune appeared in front of Mo Wuji. This transfer rune was enigmatic and complex. It seemed to encompass a boundless dao aura of the Array Dao. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with glee. So it was true. There was no need to talk about how this was the exit. Just the dao aura contained within this transfer rune was enough for him to make a huge improvement in his Array Dao. Mo Wuji¡¯s dao revelation channel started to circulate furiously as it continuously tried to gain insights from this enigmatic transfer rune. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s figure shifting continuously, and feeling the dao aura in the surroundings forming powerful ripples, no one dared to do anything. Even Bai Ye didn¡¯t dare to make a single move. Multiple days passed, Mo Wuji finally released a long groan. Thereafter, he started to draw runes in mid air. This was the first time Mo Wuji used rune drawing to form a transfer array. He was sure that this method would be pivotal and meaningful towards his future in the Array Dao. Multiple days passed and Mo Wuji finally drew the final rune. A faint exit appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was so emotional that their eyes started to turn red. After being trapped in Sword Prison for so long, they had finally found the exit. Even the Immortal Emperors found their hearts racing. They had already gotten used to the torture and suffering here in Sword Prison, they had already gotten used to the fact that there might not be a chance to leave. But now that the chance had presented itself in front of them, how could they not be emotional? However, no one dared to move, because Mo Wuji still hadn¡¯t said a word. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes were still tightly closed, and he didn¡¯t utter a single word. After drawing the runes to this void transfer array, he felt that his understanding towards the Array Dao had made a huge improvement. This was his first step in officially joining the ranks of Grade 7 formation masters. At this instant, he was organising his understandings and insights towards the void array runes. After half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji finally opened his eyes. He turned and spoke to the group, "This should be the transfer array out. Wei Zidao will leave first. Then, it will be Nie Chongan, Cha Rui, Su Zi¡¯An, Fei Ling, Yu Junsai, Dong Sha, Lu Ming, Hai Zhenkui, Fan Wa, Bai Ye, Jian Mingcheng, Han Qingru, then I will be last." When he heard that he could also leave, Bai Ye¡¯s heart was filled with emotions. He knew that Mo Wuji definitely had a meaning behind this arrangement. However, he didn¡¯t intend to look for trouble, so he would just leave the moment they exited. He had really grown to fear Mo Wuji. If not for this mysterious Sect Head Mo, there was no need to talk about entering Sword Qi River. Even if he managed to find this place, he wouldn¡¯t be able to open this transfer array gate. Chapter 712: Finally Know Where The Red Lotus Is Chapter 712: Finally Know Where The Red Lotus Is Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was the last to leave Sword Qi River. The transfer runes that he drew were basically learnt and drawn on the spot; so it was extremely weak. Not long after Mo Wuji left, that transfer rune disappeared without a trace, together with that transfer array gate. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji¡¯s feet touched the ground, he felt that something was amiss. His heart sunk; could he have transferred back to Sword Prison? He could still feel sword qi in the surroundings. No, this sword qi wasn¡¯t as terrifying as the sword qi back in Sword Qi Prison. The sword intent within this sword qi was also more distinct. "Sect head!" The moment Mo Wuji emerged, everyone from Ping Fan came to him. "We seem to still be in Sword Prison. We are still surrounded by sword qi," Nie Chongan said solemnly. "Why haven¡¯t you left?" Mo Wuji did not respond to Nie Chongan¡¯s words. Instead, his gaze landed on Bai Ye. Bai Ye clasped his fists, "Sect Head Mo, I¡¯m afraid this is still Sword Prison. It¡¯s just that the sword qi here is relatively weaker, its damage is even lower than back at the Vine Mountain of Peace." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already swept outwards. There were still limits to his spiritual will here. However, it was different from Sword Prison; the restrictions on the spiritual will here were relatively weak. "Sect head, I believe that we are no longer in Sword Prison." Just at this moment, Wei Zidao suddenly said, "If we are in Sword Prison, I would still be unable to remove the sword talisman. But in reality, the moment I came here, I was able to get rid of the sword talisman." "Me too." Jian Mingcheng said hurriedly. Nie Chongan said embarrassedly, "I just got rid of it." Bai Ye¡¯s face changed. Back then, he had been injured too heavily by Mo Wuji; his primordial spirit had not recovered to the same degree as Wei Zidao and co. Until now, he was actually still unable to remove his sword talisman. But upon hearing that Wei Zidao and co. were able to remove their sword talismans, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Many thanks Sect Head Mo for you help. I will take my leave first." With that, Bai Ye¡¯s figure flashed and he swiftly disappeared. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t chase after Bai Ye. After all, he didn¡¯t have any huge enmity with Bai Ye. They were merely acting on mutual benefits; since things had ended, they would naturally disband after the task was done. "Right Protector Wei is right. This indeed isn¡¯t Sword Prison. If I¡¯m not wrong, this should be a training facility of Great Sword Path. Everyone, follow me," Mo Wuji said. The reason why he was so sure was because he could feel the transfer array discs that he had installed around Great Sword Path. "We¡¯re in Great Sword Path?" Wei Zidao suddenly burst forth with killing intent. He had been caught and tortured in Sword Prison because of Great Sword Path. If not for Mo Wuji, he would have died within Sword Prison itself. How could he not take hold back on this enmity? It wasn¡¯t just Wei Zidao. Everyone else was also releasing sharp killing intent. Clearly, they had the same intentions as Wei Zidao: as long as the sect head allows it, they would immediately charge out from this place and kill for themselves a river a blood. When Mo Wuji felt the intense killing intent, he knew what everyone was feeling. In reality, he too had a deep hatred towards Great Sword Path. However, he also knew that this wasn¡¯t the time to take revenge. He waved his hands and said, "Revenge will definitely come. But now is not the time. Everyone had tempered yourselves within Sword Prison for so long. I am sure that as long as we find a place rich in immortal spiritual energy, you would all be able to advance quickly. After everyone¡¯s abilities reach a certain level, and when our Ping Fan is established, we can come back and take our revenge." He was very clear that with that with their current level of abilities, they might be able to cause a huge damage to Great Sword Path, but they would definitely be unable to thoroughly destroy Great Sword Path. Moreover, if news of him were to be revealed, then the Lightning Sect, Vast Ocean Immortal School, and even that Unfettered Emperor Palace would join forces to end them. He had gone through great difficulties to gather this ensemble of power. Naturally, he wasn¡¯t going to casually waste it. With his speed, he didn¡¯t know how many more years he would take to actually advance to become a Grand Emperor. But now, he had three Immortal Emperors and a Quasi-Emperor by his side. This power was going to be the foundation for Ping Fan. Moreover, the revenge that Mo Wuji wanted wasn¡¯t to simply kill the experts of Great Sword Path. He wanted to end Great Sword Path and its legacy thoroughly. Since he was going to take revenge, he was going to be vicious. They would face the pressure from other immortal sects. if they weren¡¯t strong enough. According to the ideas of Wei Zidao and co., they wanted to kill to their heart''s content, then flee. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t willing to act now. "We will go along with what the sect head says." Even though Wei Zidao was a Grand Emperor and his power was the strongest here, he was not arrogant. "Since that¡¯s the case, everyone follow me." Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was not wrong. This was indeed a training facility in Great Sword Path. Many disciples would come here to gain insights on sword qi. However, the sword qi here wasn¡¯t as innocuous and harmless as Mo Wuji and co. thought. In reality, even an Immortal King might die here if he wasn¡¯t careful. However, Mo Wuji and co. had been in the terrifying Sword Prison for so long, which one hadn¡¯t experienced the rampaging sword qi there? Thus, when they came to a place like this, they naturally felt that the sword qi here wasn¡¯t dangerous at all. After an hour, Mo Wuji brought his group and left the training facility openly. They easily killed the two disciples guarding the facility, then they took out an ordinary looking flying ship and easily left the Great Sword Path ¡­ Outside Broken World¡¯s fourth level. Including the Very High Heaven¡¯s Jin Yu, there were many Grand Emperors here. There were also many merchant houses waiting outside the entrance. Because the Broken World had been forcefully opened, Immortal Kings and above still weren¡¯t able to enter even though a year had already passed. It was what everyone had expected. Over this past year, there were many treasures found in the fourth level. Not only did they discover a page of the Book of Luo, they found a True Fill World, and it was even rumoured that someone obtained a Fire Elemental Bead. Hearing such news, Jin Yu could not help but be elated. However, he still had a frown on his face. According to the deduction by the experts from the Very High Heavens, the treasures in the golden house back in the third level¡¯s Broken Ruins were all real. Thereafter, many experts had gone to the Broken Ruins, but that golden house had disappeared. Those treasures should have been transported to the fourth level, and the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was among them. The Red Karmic Fire Lotus was an absolute and supreme treasure. As long as it appeared in the fourth level, it should have been immediately discovered. But why hadn¡¯t it been discovered yet? What kind of natural phenomena would occur the moment the Red Karmic Fire Lotus appeared? At where such treasures appear, there would definitely be immortal spiritual energy¡­ I understand now! Jin Yu suddenly thought of something: if the Red Karmic Fire Lotus appeared, it would definitely furiously absorb the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings. When that happens, the immortal spiritual energy in the surroundings would naturally be very weak. Even some of the energy within the high tiered immortal herbs might be sucked out by the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, causing the herbs to wither. The moment the fourth level opened, everyone would definitely have the same thought: to head towards where immortal spiritual energy was richest. Whoever goes towards the place with the weakest immortal spiritual energy would be the one to find the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Jin Yu took in a deep breath and cried out, "Call a person who came out from the fourth level to come over. I have to speak with him." Jin Yu was a Grand Emperor from the Very High Heavens. Moreover, he was the one in charge of opening the fourth level, and he was even the envoy that was selecting the disciples accepted by the Very High Heavens. The moment he uttered that sentence, a healthy looking man was quickly brought in front of him. This was a Grand Zhi Immortal that had just came out from the Broken World¡¯s fourth level. Because he obtained a relatively amazing immortal fruit, he wanted to charge to the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. This was why he, reluctantly, left the fourth level. "What¡¯s your name and what sect do you come from?" The moment this Grand Zhi Immortal arrived, Jin Yu immediately asked these questions. Who didn¡¯t know who Jin Yu was? The moment this Grand Zhi Immortal heard this envoy¡¯s questions, he lowered his head and answered respectfully, "Junior is Tong Hui, I am a disciple from Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Blade Scar Mountain." Jin Yu nodded, "Very good. When you entered the fourth level, did you feel that there was a direction where the spiritual energy is particularly weak?" Tong Hui jolted; who would know that? After he entered, he would naturally choose the direction where immortal spiritual energy was richest. Who would bother checking the direction where the spiritual energy was weak? The moment Jin Yu saw Tong Hui¡¯s expression, he knew that Tong Hui definitely didn¡¯t know. At this moment, he really wanted to step and crush this useless fool. As an immortal, one shouldn¡¯t immediately rush to snatch for treasures once he enters a secret domain. Instead, one should first observe the surroundings. To not even be able to do that, this fella definitely didn¡¯t have a bright future. "Then did you notice the direction that least people went to?" Jin Yu could only ask another question. "I know this. It¡¯s the left side. Practically no one went in that direction," Tong Hui hurriedly said. As he finished speaking, his thoughts seemed to organise themselves, "That¡¯s right. It¡¯s the left side. The spiritual energy there is relatively weaker." "Good." Jin Yu patted Tong Hui¡¯s shoulder. "You will now go to the left side where the immortal spiritual energy is relatively weak and help me find a particular thing. As long as you find it, I will bring you to the Very High Heavens." "Ah¡­" When Tong Hui heard that promise, he almost went blank. Thereafter, he was filled with mad glee. The Very High Heavens, that was the place that he could only dream of going. When he first came to the Broken World¡¯s fourth level, he was entirely here to try his luck. After all, when it was in terms of talent or anything else, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be chosen to enter the Very High Heavens. But now, the envoy from the Very High Heavens, Elder Jin Yu, directly told him that he could be chosen to enter the Very High Heavens. He would be an idiot to let this opportunity go. "Senior, what¡¯s that thing?" Tong Hui asked urgently. Jin Yu waved his hand, "There¡¯s no need to ask. As long as you enter the Broken World¡¯s fourth level and go towards where immortal spiritual energy is weak, you will naturally know." "Yes, junior will enter straight away." Tong Hui anxiously bowed, then he turned and hastily charged back into the Broken World¡¯s fourth level. He did not know that Jin Yu had already left a spiritual will imprint on him. The moment he sees the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, Jin Yu would know of it. Seeing Tong Hui disappear into the fourth level, Jin Yu sighed. Unfortunately, his abilities were limited and he couldn¡¯t place an imprint on everyone that entered the fourth level. If he could, why would he need to go through so much trouble? Chapter 713: Establishing Ping Fan Chapter 713: Establishing Ping Fan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Sect Head, is this where our Ping Fan¡¯s Immortal School will be situated at?" Standing by the periphery of the Extreme Glade Sea, Wei Zidao asked with a slightly unpleasant expression. Not only Wei Zidao because the expression of Nie Chongan and Jian Mingcheng were also the same. Even the few Immortal Reverents and Immortal Kings were also looking doubtfully at Mo Wuji. Whether or not this place belonged to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain, everyone wasn¡¯t too bothered by it. Given Ping Fan¡¯s current strength, even if Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain came, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to them. What they were concerned about was that the immortal energy here was so thin that it was almost negligible. How were they supposed to establish Ping Fan in a place like this? What Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mention was that this place had the densest immortal energy across all the immortal domains. Based solely on the holy land of immortal veins underneath the Extreme Glade Sea, Ping Fan would only grow to be more exuberant in the future. The bottom of the Extreme Glade Sea could very well be a land where the immortal energies of both the Heaven and Earth¡¯s Grand Daos gathered. Once Ping Fan was established here, there would be an unending stream of immortal energy flowing in from between the Heaven and Earth. The immortal energies of the Heaven and Earth would be reproduced again and when this formed a cycle, this place would be a treasured land which would never be short of immortal energy. This would be of course unless the entire Immortal World enters the Dharma-Ending Age. "That¡¯s right, this is where I choose to establish Ping Fan. Even though everyone had already swore a deadly oath in the Sword Prison, if there is anyone who didn¡¯t wish to stay, you are free to go as long as you don¡¯t do anything to harm Ping Fan in the future. I, Mo Wuji, would not force anyone here to stay," Mo Wuji said calmly. This place was the greatest holy land of immortal energy in the entire Immortal World so if there was still anyone who had doubts about joining Ping Fan, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t wish to break a sweat to convince anyone to stay. By letting one leave on the promise that one would not do anything to harm Ping Fan, it would only be good for Ping Fan. Presently, everyone might think that joining Ping Fan now would be to help him and to honour the oath that they swore. Once Ping Fan had been officially established, everyone would realise how fortunate they were to be able to join Ping Fan. This wasn¡¯t a case of helping Mo Wuji but helping themselves instead. Wei Zidao calmed himself down because he was only a step away from becoming a Grand Immortal Emperor. After all the years of accumulations in the Sword Prison, he would be able to advance to become a Grand Immortal Emperor anywhere he was. Since Sect Head Mo had already chosen this place, he wouldn¡¯t be against it. Nobody chose to leave Ping Fan because firstly, everyone made a vow. As a cultivator, it was still very important that one honour one¡¯s vow. Secondly, it was Mo Wuji¡¯s true strength. Even up till now, all them still find their Sect Head slightly mysterious as to how strong he truly was. Besides being strong, he was capable too. Other than their sect head, who else would dare to enter the Sword Prison on their own accord? Within the Sword Prison, who else would be able to take out so many Zhi Nature Pills? Who would be able to enter the Sword Qi River? Who helped them to escape after being trapped for so many years in the Sword Prison? The answer to everything was Sect Head Mo. "Great, since everyone was willing to stay in Ping Fan, let me go through the plan for Ping Fan," Mo Wuji continued with a clear voice, "Even though our ultimate aim would be to become the number one existence in the Immortal World, our first plan for Ping Fan wouldn¡¯t be too huge. I¡¯ve decided that the node of our Ping Fan would be right here and it would extend 4000km inland and 1000km towards the Extreme Glade Sea. For now, anywhere within 5000km of us would be the domain that we¡¯re in and this would be where we would establish out encampment. Concurrently, we would integrate everyone within 25,000km of Ping Fan¡¯s encampment into our school¡­" Honestly speaking, a school with a perimeter of 5000km would only be considered a small sect in the Immortal World. Even if Mo Wuji were to integrate everything within 25,000km into Ping Fan¡¯s territory, it would still not be comparable to a big immortal sect. In a true big immortal sect, the distance between two large immortal summits would already be 5000km already and within the same sect, it would be formed up by numerous summits. Mo Wuji circled out 25,000km because he was helpless and he knew that if he were to extend even further, he would basically be fighting for land with the Wind Plains Immortal City. His intention was to establish Ping Fan first before taking the initiative to discuss with the castellan of the Wind Plains Immortal City. Ping Fan of the future must cover way more than a mere few thousand kilometres. "Sect Head, isn¡¯t out territory slightly too small?" Fei Ling was now Mo Wuji¡¯s loyal servant so the basis of everything he said and did would be in consideration of Ping Fan and his sect head. As for everyone else, they stared doubtfully and blankly at Mo Wuji because their sect head¡¯s ultimate plan was to turn Ping Fan into the number one school in the Immortal World. Moreover, considering the number of Immortal Emperors and Immortal Reverents Ping Fan had now, Ping Fan would definitely be able to enter the ranks of peak grade immortal sects. However, with a territory of merely a few thousand kilometres, how was he going to turn his dream into a reality? It was simply a joke. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "It is indeed slightly small now but our territory would have some mortals living on it too. Other than this, we would need to convert thousands of miles of the Extreme Glade Sea to the encampment of our school which would prove to be slightly tougher. I shall be in charge of installing the school¡¯s encampment and trap arrays while Fei Ling and Nie Chongan shall go out to purchase materials to fix up the school which would include some materials for arrays. Revered Right Protector Wei shall take Cha Rui and Yu Saijun to set up the Ping Fan Trade Union. Once the trade union starts to operate, Yu Saijun shall take charge while you and Cha Rui return to help me." Mo Wuji took out a storage ring for Wei Zidao, "These are the immortal pills to be used for the initial auction. Once news of these immortal pills were made known, Ping Fan Trade Union would definitely become one of the greatest trade union in the Immortal World." "Alright," Wei Zidao took over the storage ring and was momentarily stunned as he casually used his spiritual will to scan through it He had never seen this many peak grade immortal pills and even the Draining Immortal King Pills came in vases. Once these rare peak grade immortal pills were out, he would simply be took incapable if he couldn¡¯t turn Ping Fan Trade Union into a peak grade trade union in the Immortal World. "Su Zi¡¯An, bring this jade letter to hand it over to Zhuo Pingan of the Cape of Peace. If he didn¡¯t leave any message, you can come back immediately," Mo Wuji took out a jade letter and handed it to Su Zi¡¯An. Wei Zidao would become a Grand Emperor very soon but it wasn¡¯t enough for Ping Fan to simply rely on just one Grand Emperor Wei Zidao. If Zhuo Pingan was willing to join Ping Fan, it would of course be great. But if Zhuo Pingan didn¡¯t wish to do so, there was no point even if Mo Wuji made a trip down himself. "Lu Ming, you shall be in charge of recruiting people to help establish Ping Fan. If we were the only few people working on it, it would simply take too long before Ping Fan could be established officially. We musn¡¯t be stingy to any cultivator who are willing to join the establishment of Ping Fan. Remember, the construction of the surrounding must be according to my intentions," Mo Wuji knew how tough it could be for low level cultivators of the Yong Ying Immortal Domain to survive in a place with such sparse immortal energy and resources. It would be easy to perish in nasty environment in search for cultivation resources but without nasty environment, it would be tough to improve. Mo Wuji was certain that many cultivators would be willing to accept jobs like helping to build a school. After instructing Lu Ming, Mo Wuji handed him a jade letter containing the outline of the construction of Ping Fan. "Jian Mingcheng, Han Qingru and Hai Zhenkui shall be responsible for accepting disciples. It doesn¡¯t matter whether Ping Fan recruits immortals or mortals but the pre-condition to become Ping Fan¡¯s disciple would be to devote wholly to Ping Fan and must definitely not be evil, vicious or deceitful." "Dong Sha, you shall bring Fan Wa to watch after this place and prevent any mortals from entering the sea. Get them to help with the constructions of the periphery of the mortal cities and double their remunerations." After all these tasks had been issued by Mo Wuji and accepted by the various individuals, Mo Wuji took out two vases of Dry Wimple Pill before saying, "Everyone take one Dry Wimple Pill each." Everyone standing here would have some sort of enmity with the Great Sword Path. The instance the Great Sword Path found out that the people in the Sword Prison managed to escape, it wouldn¡¯t do them any good. To Mo Wuji, what he lacked most was time. Once he managed to establish Ping Fan and finish up with the grand arrays, who would dare to find trouble with disciples of Ping Fan? ¡­ After everyone left to complete their task, Mo Wuji entered the Extreme Glade Sea swiftly. He had left for two years and even though he left behind enough Inedia Pills, he was still worried about Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian. After all, the two of them were merely ordinary mortals when he left them. Very quickly, Mo Wuji entered the concealed array which he installed and the extremely dense immortal energy surged towards him. In front of him were still the closely packed immortal veins and immortal essence crystals. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned much lighter because both Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian were still in the midst of their cultivation. Fu Jingfeng had already opened up 93 meridians and was already in the Transcending Mortality Stage Level 9. It gives Mo Wuji the greatest satisfaction to see someone being able to cultivate successfully with the technique he created. Fu Jingfeng was still slightly lacking when compared to Mo Wuji back in the days but given his current cultivation speed, Mo Wuji suspected that even a Nine Star Genius might not be able to match it. Mo Wuji was well aware that Fu Jingfeng could cultivate so quickly not just because of his pointers but also because he was in the Immortal World. This was not just the Immortal World but a holy land where immortal energy was the densest. Under such circumstances, if Fu Jingfeng was still unable to cultivate quickly, he wouldn¡¯t achieve much on his path of cultivation dao. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t interrupt Fu Jingfeng¡¯s cultivation as his spiritual will landed on Lian Yingxian instead. What made Mo Wuji extremely surprised was that Lian Yingxian had already opened 102 meridians and was even in the elementary Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Lian Yingxian¡¯s technique dao spirituality was slightly odd because it contained both his immortal mortal technique dao spirituality and an unknown technique dao spirituality. Mo Wuji was certain that the technique Lian Yingxian was cultivating was incredibly impressive. This time, Lian Yingxian was legitimately in the elementary Grand Luo Immortal Stage and the mighty energy of the crystal point within her mind palace was already starting to overflow slowly. Mo Wuji knew that no matter how great his immortal mortal technique was, how terrifyingly dense the immortal energy here was or even how talented Lian Yingxian was, Lian Yingxian shouldn¡¯t be able to advance to the Grand Luo Immortal Stage in a mere two years. She was only able to do so because the cultivation which was in her mind palace had started to be awaken. This cultivation was exceptionally frightening to be able to combine with his immortal mortal technique to increase Lian Yingxian¡¯s cultivation rapidly. It could be said that Lian Yingxian¡¯s strength was a combination of accumulated immortal energy from cultivating and the releasing of immortal energy from her mind palace. With such a combination, it would be tough even if she didn¡¯t wish to improve that swiftly. After understanding this logic, Mo Wuji started feeling shadowy because he didn¡¯t know if this method would be beneficial or detrimental to Lian Yingxian. The instance the immortal energy from cultivating his immortal mortal technique was unable to strike a balance with the immortal energy released by her mind palace, she wouldn¡¯t survive even if she had 100 lives. Mo Wuji sighed because he was truly incapable of solving such problems. It wasn¡¯t just him because he believed that no one in the entire Immortal World could have a solution to this. Mo Wuji touched the star locket on his chest and he decided to hang this star locket around Lian Yingxian¡¯s neck once she is done with her cultivation. This star locket was immensely extraordinary and it could very likely save Lian Yingxian¡¯s life. Chapter 714: The Fight Over The Red Lotus Chapter 714: The Fight Over The Red Lotus Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Senior Sister Su, I can barely pick up this red lotus but I am definitely unable to leave this place unnoticed with this on me," Within a cave where the immortal energy was extremely sparse, Dou Hualong¡¯s hand had left the red lotus in front of him with his face being extremely pale. Evidently, he had spent quite a lot of energy just to keep this red lotus. "It¡¯s okay because we won¡¯t be going out for the time being. Every level in the Broken World is extremely vast so as long as we are careful, nobody would be able to catch us. Keep the red lotus first, we will change location soon because we have stayed here for too long," Su Rou¡¯Er nodded. Dou Hualong said apologetically, "Senior Sister Su, this red lotus should be yours but you¡­" He was indeed very apologetic because their purpose of coming in was to search for cultivation resources to advance yet Su Rou¡¯Er had accompanied him to hide in this b*llshit place for over a year without any reward for herself. Senior Sister Su Rou¡¯Er was definitely much stronger and of a higher cultivation level than he was yet she didn¡¯t want a treasure like the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Nobody would believe him if this were to spread out. Without mentioning that he and Su Rou''Er were not blood related siblings, Dou Hualong would never have met her if it wasn¡¯t for Big Brother Mo. Even so, Senior Sister Su Rou''Er made used of her experience to save Dou Hualong countless of times during their escape. This time round, she even rejected the Red Karmic Fire Lotus and offered it to him. Su Rou''Er smiled, "Junior Brother Hualong, if I was the one who spotted it, I would have kept it for myself already. The Red Karmic Fire Lotus was spotted by you so it would naturally belong to you. A treasure like this is very particular about fate and if one had no fate with it, keeping it by force would not do one any good." Su Rou''Er had seen more of the world than Dou Hualong so she would naturally be aware that a treasure like the Red Karmic Fire Lotus would only belong to one who had fate with it. Keeping it forcefully would harm others and themselves. She was indeed capable of keeping this Red Karmic Fire Lotus but if Sect Head Mo were to find out that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was spotted first by Dou Hualong and she was the one who kept it, he would definitely view her differently. She knew clearly that Dou Hualong was extremely loyal to Mo Wuji. In fact, even she was full of respect and admiration for Sect Head Mo. "En, I am planning to give this red lotus to big brother in the future. I am too weak so possessing this treasured Red Karmic Fire Lotus would only be ruining it," Since he had already kept the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, Dou Hualong didn¡¯t continue insisting that Su Rou''Er keep it. Su Rou''Er smiled once more, "Let¡¯s hurry then." She was certain that Sect Head Mo would not accept Dou Hualong¡¯s Red Karmic Fire Lotus and she believed that her judgement would not be wrong. Sect Head Mo was a person who just ascended to the Immortal World yet managed to advance to become an honoured grade Tier 8 Pill Emperor and even go up against a few Immortal Emperors. Such imposing attitude cannot be exchanged for even a hundred of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Simply because she knew Mo Wuji which was why she would believe that Mo Wuji would be able to set up an impressive sect and not accept Dou Hualong¡¯s treasure. "Alright, let¡¯s go¡­" Dou Hualong had yet to finish his sentence but he saw Su Rou''Er¡¯s expression changed before executing several hand signs for ignite tens of seals. "Senior Sister Su¡­" "Someone is here," Su Rou''Er stopped Dou Hualong from speaking as she transmitted a message to Dou Hualong. She had countless of experience escaping death so she instantly noticed when someone arrived here at this cave. The person who arrived was the Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s Tong Hui and despite being at the peak of the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage, he wasn¡¯t exactly very talented. The truth was he had spent 99% of his life behind closed doors to achieve what he had achieved today. Occasionally, he would even ask his sister for cultivation resources. His sister, Tong Yuan, was the wife of the Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s Summit Lord, Gou Liyang. Otherwise, with Tong Hui¡¯s talent, no matter how hard he cultivate behind closed doors, he would never make it to become a Grand Zhi Immortal. Even though Su Rou''Er was much younger and not as strong as Tong Hui, Tong Hui was really unable to match her experience when it came to hiding and escaping. Therefore, when the Grand Zhi Immortal Tong Hui was spotted by Su Rou''Er, he was still casually strolling along a cave depression which was not very far away from them. Su Rou''Er was still extremely anxious because she knew that if Tong Hui was slightly more experienced, or slightly more meticulous, he would be able to notice the small cave which they occupied. The array that she installed had an obvious scar which resulted in them having a poor concealment. At this moment, Tong Hui, who initially going to enter the cave depression, stopped abruptly as he lifted his fist to smash against a massive rock beside him. Once the massive rock broke, a small stone about the size of a fist appeared in his hand and there was a faint outline of a seven flower flame. "This is the Seven Flower Fire Heartstone?" Tong Hui¡¯s heart was racing at the sight of this because he had never expected himself to find the Seven Flower Fire Heartstone. During his first year in the 4th level of the Broken World, the combined value of the items he found was not even as great as this Seven Flower Fire Heartstone alone. Could it be that senior from the Very High Heavens was looking for this fire heartstone? No, it can¡¯t be. This was because if he didn¡¯t use his spiritual will to scan the massive rock, he would never be able to find this fire heartstone. Regardless, him finding it first was all that mattered. Just as Tong Hui picked up and kept the Seven Flower Fire Heartstone, he saw a figure approaching him. In an instance, he turned and fled. The figure seemed to have spotted Tong Hui as it chased after Tong Hui almost the instance he started to flee. After Tong Hui sensed that the fella chasing after him was also in the advanced Grand Zhi Immortal Stage, he came to a halt instead. He was in the Great Circle of Grand Zhi Immortal Stage so why would he fear another Grand Zhi Immortal? His current location was a dried up lake¡­ Initially, Tong Hui wanted to inspect the surrounding so that during the fight later, he would be able to make use of the terrain in his favour. When his spiritual will landed on the lake, he was completely shocked as he instantly charged down. At this instance, he had completely neglected the incoming Grand Zhi Immortal. He sensed a mysterious ancient Xiantian Grand Dao energy within the lake as if there was a Xiantian treasure here. The treasure was already taken away and there was even an extremely pure fire attribute energy looming around. Despite not having a fire attributed spirit roots, he really wanted to pry into the mysterious Grand Dao within it. This was definitely not something that his Seven Flowers Fire Heartstone could compare to¡­ Red Karmic Fire Lotus, this had to be the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Tong Hui¡¯s eyes had turned red because even an idiot had heard of the rumours about the Red Karmic Fire Lotus appearing in the 4th level of the Broken World. Just because he hadn¡¯t seen one before didn¡¯t mean he didn¡¯t know about it. He was after all a Grand Zhi Immortal so how could he not know about such an ancient Xiantian treasure? "Hand the item over," An icy cold voice which made Tong Hui quiver could be heard. Standing not too far away from him was a long hair man; the Grand Zhi Immortal who was chasing after him. "What item?" Tong Hui¡¯s heart sunk before calming himself down. At this moment, he had full understanding of what the Grand Immortal of the Very High Heavens was looking for in the 4th level. It had to be the Red Karmic Fire Lotus which meant that even if he obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, it wouldn¡¯t belong to him. The long hair man sneered, "You are pretty decent, to actually have an idea that a Red Karmic Fire Lotus might appear here where the immortal energy was so sparse. If I hadn¡¯t thought hard about this possibility, I¡¯m afraid nobody would fight with you for it even for the next few months." The immortal energy here was already much denser than the time Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong were here. Now that the long hair man thought about it, after a few more months, more immortal energy would start flooding this place and this place wouldn¡¯t be very different from any other place in the Broken World. Tong Hui¡¯s excitement had completely died down and was in fact, slightly terrified now. It would still be alright if he really did obtain the Red Karmic Fire Lotus since it would be handed to the Grand Emperor of the Very High Heavens anyway. He had a firm belief that if he were to keep the Red Karmic Fire Lotus secretly, he would die a horrible death¡­ Keep the Red Karmic Fire Lotus secretly? This wasn¡¯t impossible because if he did obtain it, he could hide in the 4th level of the Broken World to cultivate and only leave when he became much stronger. With the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, why would he worry that he wouldn¡¯t be able to advance to become a Grand Emperor too? Why should he hand over a treasure like this to the Very High Heavens? "Are you going to hand it over or not?" The long hair man¡¯s domain started forming up as it had already surrounded Tong Hui. Concurrently, he had already drawn out his magic treasure and if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Tong Hui was slightly stronger than him, he would have attacked first. Tong Hui quivered at his own thoughts. He didn¡¯t even have the Red Karmic Fire Lotus on him. But will the opponent believe him? Killing intent suddenly started welling up in his heart because he would only be free only by killing his opponent. Otherwise, even if he managed to escape out, it would be disastrous for him once news spread that he obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. At that point in time, nobody would bother listening to his explanation. Attack, Tong Hui thought through things and the Glassy Lamp on his hand had already turned into a green light as it charged out. Simultaneously, his domain extended with all his force because he felt the need to end this as soon as he could. "I knew you wouldn¡¯t give in easily," This long hair man laughed nastily as he wielded his own magic treasure too. ... Ping Fan had already started its construction as Mo Wuji had also been working on refining the various magic arrays around Ping Fan. Despite not being able to forge out Grade 7 immortal equipments, his method of refining array flags was already considered to be very decent. Coupled with the array rune technique which he had just enlightened, he was certain that with sufficient amount of time, he would be able to forge out a Grade 7 defensive array around Ping Fan. Mo Wuji was in charge of the installment of arrays at the Extreme Glade Sea. The installation of such arrays on land was handed completely to Lu Ming. Wei Zidao, who had finished the initial steps of setting up the trade union, had been following Mo Wuji to help him out as he handed the remaining tasks of the trade union to Cha Rui and Yu Saijun. Mo Wuji¡¯s array dao standard might be decent but his cultivation was still too low. If he wished to turn the Extreme Glade Sea into the encampment of Ping Fan, he would need the assistance of an Immortal Emperor. The good thing was that because the Ping Fan Trade Union managed to bring out large amount of rare immortal herbs which Mo Wuji provided, it was able to gather massive piles of immortal materials which were quickly sent back to the temporary encampment on the periphery of the Extreme Glade Sea for Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao to use. To an ordinary mortal, it might be a fantasy story to turn a thousand kilometres wide sea domain into the encampment of a sect. However, in Mo Wuji and and Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes, this wasn¡¯t a complicated matter if they collected abundant amount of resources. Large summits were formed up by Wei Zidao while Mo Wuji¡¯s array dao techniques combined all the land within thousands of kilometres in the periphery of the Extreme Glade Sea into one. The embryonic form of the magnificent and imposing school was starting to become clearer as days passed by. In just a couple of months, Wei Zidao was started to grow fonder of this place. Sect Head Mo¡¯s outline for the school was simply too precise and beautiful which made him certain that once Ping Fan is officially done, it would be the most beautiful school in the entire Immortal World. The only pity was that the immortal energy here was still sparse. On one fine day while Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao were putting one of the immortal summit in order, Dong Sha, who was guarding the periphery, started hurrying over anxiously, "Sect Head, there¡¯s trouble. Su Zi¡¯An, who went out to the Cape of Peace, is escaping back with severe injuries¡­" Chapter 715: The Mighty Elementary Immortal Reverent Chapter 715: The Mighty Elementary Immortal Reverent Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji grabbed a few pills before sending it into Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s mouth with an unpleasant expression. To be more specific, Su Zi¡¯An wasn¡¯t escaping back on his own but was sent back. It was one of the Immortal King under Zhuo Pingan. After sending Su Zi¡¯An back, the Immortal King left immediately. Presently, Su Zi¡¯An suffered grave injuries because not only was his sea of consciousness hurt, even his primordial spirit was damaged. It could be said that if not for Mo Wuji¡¯s Zhi Nature Pills, injuries like this could cause Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s cultivation to be wasted. The mighty effectiveness of the Zhi Nature Pill was seen very quickly as Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s primordial spirit started to condense. He opened his eyes and heaved a huge sigh of relief at the sight of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji instantly used his hand to indicate that he should heal first before anything else. Four hours later, the pale face Su Zi¡¯An walked out of the room. "How are your injuries?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t use his spiritual will to scan through Su Zi¡¯An. "Many thanks Sect Head for exhausting your precious immortal pills on me. I believe that I just need to cultivate for a period of time and my injuries would disappear completely," Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s tone was still immensely respectful. He knew his own injuries the best and he was well aware that if he hadn¡¯t join Ping Fan and be under Sect Head Mo, he would find it extremely difficult to recover from injuries like this. Even if he found a peak grade treasure, his injuries would not heal within one or two days. It could take tens of thousands of years or even millions of years. Even though he was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage, it didn¡¯t mean that he wouldn¡¯t die of old age. Perhaps his time would be up even before his injuries were completely healed. Mo Wuji nodded, "I have burdened you greatly with this trip. You are an advanced Immortal Reverent so how did you get hurt so badly? Who did this to you?" Mo Wuji was certain that it wasn¡¯t Zhuo Pingan because he had a pretty decent relationship with Zhuo Pingan previously. In fact, Zhuo Pingan owed him a favour. Even if Zhuo Pingan was unwilling to leave the Cape of Peace, he wouldn¡¯t attack Su Zi¡¯An. Moreover, if Zhuo Pingan was the one who acted against Su Zi¡¯An, Su Zi¡¯An wouldn¡¯t have come back with injuries. He would certainly be dead. Additionally, Mo Wuji would never believe that Su Zi¡¯An would speak rudely to offend Zhuo Pingan. Among all the experts under him, Su Zi¡¯An was the most mature and earnest so he would definitely not do anything to anger a Grand Emperor like Zhuo Pingan. "The Cape of Peace had been eradicated by someone and it is merely a piece of wasteland now. Just as I was intending to enter so that I can have a look at the state of the Cape of Peace, I met an elementary Immortal Reverent expert¡­" "Hold on¡­" Mo Wuji used his hand to stop Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s words, "Don¡¯t tell me that you were wounded by this elementary Immortal Reverent Stage fella?" Su Zi¡¯An revealed an ashamed expression before nodding his head, "I was indeed injured by him, who I was sure had only just stepped into the elementary Immortal Reverent Stage. Even though I was only considered average in the Immortal World, I had came across and know some of the stronger Immortal Reverents. However, I had never seen one like him." Mo Wuji had a stern look on his face because despite not knowing Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s actual strength, he knew that Su Zi¡¯An was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage and had been through so much tough times in the countless of years in the Sword Prison. How could a person of his calibre not be able to match an elementary Immortal Reverent? To be completely honest, Su Zi¡¯An almost perished in the hands of this elementary Immortal Reverent so how terrifying was this person? "Describe the appearance of that person to me and you have to be detailed," Mo Wuji said with a serious tone. "Yes," Su Zi¡¯An pondered for a while before using his finger to draw out an image of a person in space. This seemed to be a man who didn''t look very old with an average built, yellow face and sharp eyes. He was wearing sesame coloured shoes and robe while carrying a sword without a sheath on his back. "So it¡¯s him," Mo Wuji suddenly had an desperate urge to charge into the Immortal King Stage. The pity was that despite being in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage and had countless of immortal pills or even a self-created legacy, his foundations were simply too weak for him to even go close to the Immortal King Stage. Otherwise, he would have advanced to become an Immortal King even before establishing Ping Fan. "Sect Head recognise this person?" Su Zi¡¯An asked hurriedly. Mo Wuji was surprised at how quickly Huang Sha grew because for a person who had just ascended, he only took such a short period of time to become an Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "It is normal even if the few of you don¡¯t know him. His name is Huang Sha of the Great Sword Path and had only been in the Immortal World for a short period of time. Not only was he extremely bloodthirsty, he was pretty strong too." "Yet another Great Sword Path¡¯s member. I shall finish him off," Wei Zidao¡¯s eyes turned cold and killing intent surged to the maximum. Mo Wuji replied, "The destruction of the Cape of Peace could be highly related to the Great Sword Path. Huang Sha was an incredibly crafty person so even if Right Defender Wei were to go over, you might not see him and he wouldn¡¯t fight against you. When he reappears in front of you, it would mean that Right Defender Wei would have been surrounded by Immortal Emperors of the Great Sword Path. We will seek this revenge but not now." "Sect Head saw this person before?" Wei Zidao asked. Mo Wuji was way too familiar with Huang Sha because Huang Sha tried to kill him in the Gods Tower only to be stopped by Ling Lunan. Speaking of which, he still owed Ling Lunan a favour for his saving grace back then. The pity was that Ling Lunan was trapped in the Gods Tower wishing he was dead instead. "Yes, I killed both his master, Sa Jian and junior brother, Ni Ju. This was why this person was constantly on the lookout for the opportunity to kill me," Mo Wuji answered. "Ah¡­" Su Zi¡¯An was momentarily shocked before bowing respectfully to Mo Wuji, "Many thanks Sect Head Mo for avenging the Tian Ji Sect." Su Zi¡¯An naturally knew who was the one who destroyed Tian Ji Sect and if it wasn¡¯t because of Sa Jian, who requested the assistance of a Quasi-Emperor of the Great Sword Path, how would he be thrown into the Sword Prison? Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Elder Su need not be so polite with me. Back in the Cultivation World, I was the sect head of the Tian Ji Sect. After arriving in the Immortal World, I¡¯ve decided to establish Ping Fan which would include Tian Ji Sect naturally." Su Zi¡¯An was shocked yet again before bowing pleasingly towards Mo Wuji, "Zi¡¯An greets the sect head and ask that sect head would seek justice for Tian Ji Sect." Initially, Su Zi¡¯An dared not talk too much about the matters of Tian Ji Sect but now that he knew Mo Wuji was the sect head of the Tian Ji Sect, he would naturally not have any more considerations. In his heart, he was the most desperate to rebuild Tian Ji Sect and not a Tian Ji Sect within Ping Fan. Mo Wuji sighed, "Elder Zi¡¯An, I understand your intention. Initially, I really wanted to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect in the Immortal World. However, after stepping into a new realm, there were changes to my thoughts as I wanted to build something even greater than sects¡­" "Sect Head, you can rebuild Tian Ji Sect to become greater than any other sect too," Su Zi¡¯An hurried to comment. Mo Wuji shook his hand to indicate to Su Zi¡¯An to stop commenting first as he continued, "Previously, I didn¡¯t want to rebuild Tian Ji Sect because of my urgent desire to establish a school which contained my legacy from the start till the end. At that point in time, I wasn¡¯t completely enlightened but you must know that once I decide on something, I would never waver. The only exception was with the establishment of this school. Previously, I believe that I was the cause of why i wavered but after that nirvanic evolution which I¡¯ve been through, I am finally starting to understand the meaning within." "What is it?" Su Zi¡¯An asked subconsciously. "After I was severely injured, almost died and then came back to perfect my own dao, I started to understand why Tian Ji Sect is not suitable to become an immortal sect. Because we had yet to surpass the Heaven and Earth, we would still gain insights the rules of dao within the Heaven and Earth here. All these could also be considered to be a type of heavenly fate [1]. It would simply be a joke if someone mentioned about reestablishing the Tian Ji Sect. This meant that as long as we had yet to surpass this Heaven and Earth, and still gaining insights of the rules within it, the Tian Ji Sect would be destined to fail." Mo Wuji¡¯s tone became solemn as he too, was starting to understand this logic. Initially, he really wanted to rebuild the Tian Ji Sect but after his dao was starting to perfect, he was against the rebuilding of Tian Ji Sect and had even found countless of reasons to support it. Up till now, when he was about to enter the Immortal King Stage, he was beginning to understand the hidden grand dao meaning within it. Why did the Tian Ji Sect of the Cultivation World get poorer and poorer each year and was eventually obliterated. After reaching the Immortal World, the Tian Ji Sect here was also getting worse by the day and eventually exterminated too. In the unseen world of spirits, there seemed to a tint of dao spirituality which was constantly against the survival of the Tian Ji Sect. "But, the first sect head, Senior Yuan Yi found the Tian Ji Token¡­" Even without waiting for Su Zi¡¯An to finish speaking, Mo Wuji said, "Perhaps the token was not meant for Sect Head Yuan Yi to rebuild the sect as it might contain other meanings within it." Su Zi¡¯An fell silent because he knew how true the words of Sect Head Mo were. Ever since the Tian Ji Sect was established, it was directed towards it¡¯s fall. In the end, even Sect Head Yuan Yi was unable to crack the secret of the Tian Ji Sect. "After Ping Fan had been established, Tian Ji Sect would occupy a mountain in Ping Fan and it will be named as Heavenly Summit," Mo Wuji said as he could sense Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s disappointment. Without wasting anymore time trying to convince Su Zi¡¯An, Mo Wuji said, "I shall complete the installations of the defensive arrays outside of Ping Fan as soon as possible before heading out. Right Defender Wei would be left in charge or whatever is left undone here. Once Elder Zi¡¯An recovered fully, he shall assist Right Defender Wei and Lu Ming to establish Ping Fan." "Since Sect Head is intending to head out, why don¡¯t you let Jian Mingcheng follow you?" Wei Zidao guessed that Mo Wuji would be heading out so as to find treasures to advance to become an Immortal King. He wanted Jian Mingcheng to follow Mo Wuji so that he could act as a protector in his place. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "I will be looking for opportunities to advance into the Immortal King Stage. Mingcheng is too busy so he mustn¡¯t delay projects solely because of me." Mo Wuji had a faint sensing that establishing Ping Fan here was extremely meaningful for him. As to the specific meaning and purpose, even he wouldn¡¯t be able to say it out. "Sect Head, since you¡¯re trying to advance to become an Immortal King, I have something for you," Su Zi¡¯An hurried to take out a jade letter to draw on it. Half an incense later, Su Zi¡¯An handed Mo Wuji a jade letter, "Sect Head, you are right and that Tian Ji Sect should be gone with the past. There is only one Ping Fan now." Mo Wuji nodded as he received the jade letter while looking pleasingly at Su Zi¡¯An. His spiritual will scanned through the jade letter and was instantly stunned as he stared shockingly at Su Zi¡¯An. "How did you know?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully because Su Zi¡¯An actually drew out a map. This map depicted the area which was on the sect head¡¯s blurry white token. (Refer to chapter 540 if you forgot about this) "This was left behind by our ancestors back then and only a few people in the Tian Ji Sect knew about it. It was passed down every generation and would usually be kept among only three people in one generation," Su Zi¡¯An explained. Mo Wuji finally understood how Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s strength in the Tian Ji Sect was one of the top few so it would be normal for a personnel like him to obtain such news. Chapter 716: All Men Are Equal Chapter 716: All Men Are Equal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations With all these experts working together for a common purpose coupled with Mo Wuji¡¯s skills as a peak grade array master, the construction of Ping Fan was successfully completed within a year. This was actually because a portion of Ping Fan was built on the sea domain which would require slightly more effort than usual. Otherwise, they would have completed it within five months. Presently, Ping Fan occupied an area with a radius of 5000km and anywhere within 25000km of Ping Fan was also circled out. Even though the Wind Plains Immortal City was unhappy about this sudden emergence of Ping Fan claiming territory right to it¡¯s backyard, they didn¡¯t dare to do anything. Firstly, it was because their castellan was still in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins and had yet to return and secondly, almost every person who walked out of Ping Fan was at least in the Immortal Reverent Stage. These two reasons would be why the Wind Plains Immortal City chose to keep their dissatisfaction to themselves for the time being while waiting for their castellan, Dong Shanglie to return. Mo Wuji had actually installed a Grade 7 immortal array around the periphery of Ping Fan called the Grand Seven Transformations Ping Fan Array. Mo Wuji was the one who came up with the name because this grand array was the combination of his understandings towards the different types of arrays coupled with the insights he gained of the spatial array runes from the bottom of the Sword Qi River. This grand array was a combination of trap array, killing array, defensive array, illusionary array, concealment array and restriction array. The only missing one was the energy gathering array. Underneath Ping Fan was a grand energy gathering array which had gathered the daos of Heaven and Earth so Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to install any energy gathering array. All he needed to do would be to guide the natural immortal energy over and this Grand Seven Transformations Ping Fan Array would be set. On the outside of Ping Fan was a wide bluestone path which was about 5000km long. Two rows of peak grade Immortal Camphor Wood was already growing on both sides of the path. The Immortal Camphor Wood was a peak grade immortal wood grown by many sects of the Immortal World. Not only was the body of this immortal wood perfectly straight, it had a wide treetop and even released clear energy which could gladden the heart. Besides the bluestone path and Immortal Camphor Wood, there was also a wide sect protecting river. This river was not meant to ensure the safety of the sect but to set off the scenery of the sect. On the periphery of this river was the large fertile land for agriculture established by Ping Fan. This fertile land was meant for mortals living within Ping Fan to grow crops because fishermen of the Extreme Glade Sea had been moved into the territory of Ping Fan. Within Ping Fan itself, there were a few huge districts namely the Mortal District, Immortal District, Mortal Transaction District, Immortal Transaction District and Immortal-Mortal Transaction District. There were no restrictions to these districts and anyone would be able to visit any of the district. For example, mortals can enter the immortals district and vice versa. Everyone who wished to enter Ping Fan could only enter from the main entrance and other possible ways of entering near the Extreme Glade Sea had already been sealed off by arrays. Even though Ping Fan had only covered 25000km of land, Ping Fan had actually circled out an area of 500,000km radius nearer to the Extreme Glade Sea. In fact, the Extreme Glade Sea had been renamed as the Ping Fan Extreme Glade Sea which would be limited to the personal use of Ping Fan. As long as one was in the Extreme Glade Sea, one would be in the turf of Ping Fan. At the entrance of Ping Fan was a massive stone tablet which was inscribed with the words, "One¡¯s Dao can differ, but all Men are equal" Suspending above it were two huge words: Ping Fan. ¡­ In the temporary main mountain, Wei Zidao, Nie Chongan, Jian Mingcheng, Cha Rui, Su Zi¡¯An, Fei Ling and co. were standing on the humongous plaza. Behind them was a majestic Ping Fan Hall and in front of them was the vast and boundless sea which would please the heart at the sight of it. Having built this gorgeous looking school from scratch all by themselves, everyone was exceptionally satisfied with it. Previously, this place was filled with either the sea or desert and now it is filled with huge mountains, greenlands, rivers and etc. As huge mountains were slowly erected, they were now the holy land of each immortal clans here. Even though immortal beasts were not released here yet, everyone could imagine the gorgeous scenery here in the future. "Sect Head is indeed incredible to actually think of turning the Extreme Glade Sea into a portion of our sect and then building up such a magnificently beautiful school. In the future when we shift even more beautiful looking immortal mountains in, Ping Fan would only look increasingly alluring," Cha Rui said pleasingly. He was one who truly admired Mo Wuji as the sect head from the bottom of his heart because in his eyes, the sect head was nothing but incredibly capable. Nie Chongan sighed, "There is only one bad point, moreover¡­" Hearing Nie Chongan¡¯s words, everyone fell silent because everyone knew what Nie Chongan was talking about. The immortal energy here was simply too sparse so no matter how beautiful this school looked, it would simply be a tourist attraction without immortal energy here. The density of immortal energy was the true key to whether a sect would be able to gain a foothold in the Immortal World. Wei Zidao sighed once more because all the places in the Immortal World with good immortal veins producing immortal energy had long been taken by the other sects. Why would there be any good spare spot left for Ping Fan to establish? The sect head¡¯s choice to establish Ping Fan here was also because he had no other choice. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was desperate because Ping Fan looked complete on the surface but he knew that he was only one more step away from completing it. That was guiding the immortal energy into Ping Fan itself. The instance he could guide the immortal energy into the defensive arrays and various sects within Ping Fan, he would have completed the construction of Ping Fan. Only at the point in time would he be able to leave Ping Fan. When Mo Wuji entered the Extreme Glade Sea, he found out with huge surprise that Fu Jingfeng was already in the Spirit Building Stage Level 4 while Lian Yingxian¡¯s speed seemed to have slowed down. Even so, Lian Yingxian was already in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji was still satisfied at their progress and estimated that these two should be ending their closed doors cultivation very soon because the Inedia Pills he gave Fu Jingfeng was almost completely exhausted. Since this was the case, he decided to wait for these two to finish their cultivation before finding the opportunity to advance into the Immortal King Stage. After setting up the defensive array for Ping Fan, Mo Wuji¡¯s array dao had advanced to yet another level. Despite not entering the ranks of a Grade 8 Array Master, his understanding of void runes became even more thorough than before. Void runes was a brand new concept and even in the Immortal World, most immortal array masters required array flags to install arrays. Mo Wuji¡¯s void runes had replaced the traditional array flags and drawing of array foundation. Nobody in the Immortal World had actually understood such a concept yet. It could be said that there wouldn¡¯t be many immortal array masters who could break open the Grand Seven Transformations Ping Fan Array which he installed. This was of course, unless it was destroyed forcefully. However, it was simply a joke if someone could forcefully destroy the Grand Seven Transformations Ping Fan Array. There was sufficient immortal energy beneath the Extreme Glade Sea and Ping Fan had many Immortal Reverents and even Immortal Emperors. Under the protections offered by these experts of Ping Fan, Mo Wuji would simply be too useless if someone could still forcefully destroy his array. This was unless there were more than 10 Immortal Emperors attacking his Grand Seven Transformations Ping Fan Array at one time. However, Mo Wuji guessed that even the combined number of the Immortal Emperors from the Great Sword Path, Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School wouldn¡¯t even add up to 10. Moreover, he would obliterate one of these sect even before all of them could realise what was going on. ... Back at the main mountain, Wei Zidao, who was about to comfort the rest of them, started experiencing a tremble as he looked shockingly at the surrounding. It wasn¡¯t just Wei Zidao because everyone else started looking astonishingly at the surrounding too. At this moment, dense immortal energy started flowing in and everyone was certain that even the peak grade immortal sects wouldn¡¯t have such dense immortal energy flowing in their surrounding. Furthermore, the area covered by this immortal energy was continually expanding and soon, the entire Ping Fan Immortal School was shrouded by dense immortal energy. "I understand now¡­" Wei Zidao finally woke up to his senses. He was right that how could a figure like Mo Wuji choose such an ordinary piece of land to establish Ping Fan? It seemed like that most pleasing point about Ping Fan was not it¡¯s gorgeous scenery or architecture but the great density of immortal energy here. He had no idea how Sect Head Mo did it but he wouldn¡¯t want to know too. All he knew was that he was the Revered Right Protector of Ping Fan now. "Hahaha, this is indeed the number one school," Even the usually quiet Jian Mingcheng laughed out loud as he commented. He would naturally not go back on what he promised but at the thought of having the need to cultivate outside his Ping Fan while being a member of Ping Fan still felt like it wasn¡¯t the most appropriate. Now that his Sect Head had brought in such dense immortal energy coupled with the great number of experts here in Ping Fan, it would definitely be a matter of time before Ping Fan truly became the number one school in the Immortal World. "I am sensing a great Dao opportunity so I shall make my move first," Nie Chongan said excitedly as he charged out instantly. He had charged straight to his own temporary mountain because he wanted to enter the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage there. At almost the same moment Nie Chongan left, Wei Zidao and co. started parting ways too. It wasn¡¯t just Nie Chongan who felt the opportunity because even Wei Zidao felt the urgent need to go behind closed doors. Jian Mingcheng sensed the calling of the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage while Fei Ling was also desperate to charge into the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. The truth was that after coming out of the Sword Prison, many of them had already accumulated enough experience to breakthrough to the next level. The only reason why they didn¡¯t do so was because of the lack of immortal energy here. Now that Mo Wuji had brought in such dense immortal energy, breakthrough would come naturally. ... Mo Wuji had just guided the immortal energy out and before he could seal the immortal vein here, a clear and thorough enlightenment surged up to his mind. He saw a Grand Dao which was broader than Heaven and Earth, sense a vast and boundless energy of the Heaven and Earth and started to enlighten a path of Grand Dao which belonged solely to him. Mo Wuji¡¯s body shivered and he could almost let out a loud cry into the air. All along, whether he used the immortal energy to cultivate or use his dao revelation channel, he wasn¡¯t never able to sense the Immortal King¡¯s barrier. Today, after completing the installations of Ping Fan and guiding of the immortal energy, he was finally able to sense the barrier of the Immortal King Realm. What he was lacking now would be the necessary tribulation. With the cultivation level Mo Wuji had achieved thus far together with his God Physique Level 6¡¯s body, going through tribulation would be as easy as breathing to him. "So this is how it is," Mo Wuji took in a deep breath as he finally understood why he was previously unable to sense the Immortal King Realm. This was because his dao words had yet to be completed. Ever since he started cultivating as a mortal without spiritual roots, this was his own path of legacy. During this period of time, he had also sensed that he should pass down his legacy. A formless promise like this had already became his dao node. The legacy of a Grand Dao can never be completed by one person because no matter how strong or incredible Mo Wuji was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to single handedly maintain his legacy forever. Only after he established Ping Fan and created a true legacy which belonged to him, he would then be able to further undergo nirvanic evolution. Today, he did it and also understood that true dao was one that could be passed down to the next generation. Chapter 717: Entering The Fight For The Red Lotus Chapter 717: Entering The Fight For The Red Lotus Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Senior Brother, you are back¡­" Lian Yingxian¡¯s voice woke Mo Wuji from his deep thoughts as he saw a surprised Lian Yingxian walking over to him. As compared to the first time he saw her, Lian Yingxian had an additional indescribable elegance aura exuding from her. "Junior Sister Lianxian, congratulations on your cultivation success. How was it? Did you recall anything of the past?" Mo Wuji answered pleasingly. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t accept Lian Yingxian as his disciple previously because if he did, it would definitely be super awkward for him in the future. Lian Yingxian¡¯s origins was definitely not simple. Lian Yingxian shook her head, "After I¡¯ve opened up past the 99 meridians, my cultivation started rising at an insane rate. There were instances where I advanced to the next level once every few days but more recently, my speed seemed to be slowing down." Mo Wuji nodded as he predicted that Lian Yingxian should be similar to him when he was close to becoming an Immortal King in a sense that she would need some fate for the right opportunity to come by too. "Go and call Jingfeng out because I am about to seal this place up as the two of you wouldn¡¯t need to cultivate here in the future anymore," Mo Wuji said. Other than himself, no one else would be allowed to enter this place because this would become the source of immortal energy for Ping Fan aka the most important place in Ping Fan. "Alright," Lian Yingxian hurried to call out for Fu Jingfeng without questioning further. Despite being at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage, there wasn¡¯t any exceptional thoughts within her subconscious mind because to her, she still felt like she was a fisher folk living by the seaside. "Master, you¡¯re back!" Fu Jingfeng¡¯s happiness could be seen from his tone at the sight of Mo Wuji. During his cultivation, he had came out a few times before but everytime he came out, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t around and since Lian YIngxian was always behind closed doors, he had no choice but to continue cultivating. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Not bad, your progress is still decent. Let¡¯s go then, Ping Fan is completed so you and Yingxian wouldn¡¯t need to stay here to cultivate anymore." ¡­ Fu Jingfeng and Lian Yingxian never had any concept of how Ping Fan was going to be built or when it will be completed but they were in complete daze when they stood on the main mountain of Ping Fan. The vast, majestic and boundless energy of Ping Fan coupled with the gorgeous looking scenery in front of them made them understood what Mo Wuji meant when he said that Ping Fan was completed. "Sect head!" When Su Zi¡¯An and Cha Rui spotted Mo Wuji, they hurried over to greet him with an agitated voice. Even till now, they were still in shock from when they witnessed the immensely dense immortal energy around them. The first was the first time they realised how different Ping Fan was compared to the other schools or sects. In some other sects, their immortal energy might be just as strong but those were probably where the sect elders or experts go behind closed doors or lived. In Ping Fan, the density of immortal energy throughout the school was homogenous. Mo Wuji was also very satisfied because establishing Ping Fan was considered fulfilling one of his wishes to pass down his dao legacy. "When we obliterate the Great Sword Path and shift all of their immortal mountains over to Ping Fan, all of you can start choosing your own immortal mountains to live in," Mo Wuji still felt that there were too little peak grade immortal mountains in Ping Fan to display their actual strength and power. His spiritual will had detected that Wei Zidao and co. were all preparing to charge into the next realm. Su Zi¡¯An and Cha Rui needed to advance to become Immortal Emperors but because they still have yet to sense that opportunity, they chose to stay put and admire everything around them. "Sect Head, when will we be going to obliterate the Great Sword Path?" Su Zi¡¯An asked anxiously because the greatest enemy of everyone at Ping Fan was the Great Sword Path. Su Zi¡¯An had great enmity with the Great Sword Path because the Tian Ji Sect of the Immortal World was exterminated by the Great Sword Path. Mo Wuji murmured, "When I advanced to the Immortal King Stage, I will go out to find Immortal Emperor Pingan. Regardless of whether I found him, the instance I returned would be the time to obliterate the Great Sword Path." Mo Wuji was already intending to find the location of that blurry map on the Tian Ji Sect¡¯s head token as his main purpose would be to find Immortal King Qi Ji. Now that he had completed establishing Ping Fan and had touched the rim of the Immortal King Stage, there was no rush for him so he decided to advance into the Immortal King before anything else. The reasons why he wanted to find Immortal Emperor Pingan was firstly because he needed a Grand Emperor like Zhuo Pingan. Secondly, he was worried about Zhuo Pingan¡¯s safety. Hearing that his sect head wished to advance to become an Immortal King, Cha Rui hurried to reply, "Sect Head, I¡¯ve just obtained news from Junior Sister Saijun that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus have appeared in the fourth level of the Broken World. If Sect Head is interested in the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, you shouldn¡¯t advance into the Immortal King Stage for now. I¡¯ve heard that Immortal Kings are not allowed to enter the fourth level of the Broken World." "The Red Karmic Fire Lotus appeared?" Mo Wuji questioned. Mo Wuji was naturally well aware of a treasure like the Red Karmic Fire Lotus because there were legends spreading about it even back on Earth. This was a peak grade treasure and rumours described it as a Xiantian treasure. Cha Rui replied confidently, "Yes, Junior Sister Saijun had been outside hosting the matters of the trade union so her news were very extensive. When the Blade Scar Mountain¡¯s Tong Hui and the Revolving Soul Dao¡¯s Fei Suo both found the Red Karmic Fire Lotus at the same time, both of them had an intense fight in the fourth level of the Broken World. Eventually, both of them fled because of the appearance of a third party. Now everyone in the fourth level of the Broken World was looking for both Tong Hui and Fei Suo. "I will head over to the Broken World first," Mo Wuji changed his mind without hesitation. It was considered his fate to have seen the Red Karmic Fire Lotus once and not only did he saw it once, he heard about it once again. For a treasure like this, since he heard and knew about it, he wouldn¡¯t let it go. As for advancing into the Immortal King Stage, he could do it anytime he wanted. "Zi¡¯An, after I leave, you shall be the temporary deputy sect head to help me manage everything in Ping Fan. Once Right Defender Wei and co. succeeded in their cultivation, help me tell them to ensure the stability of Ping Fan." After saying this, Mo Wuji took out yet another two array flags and a jade letter to pass it to Su Zi¡¯An, "These two array flags would be used to ignite the defensive array, one for the day and one for the night. This jade letter contained Ping Fan¡¯s objective and rules as we move forward. Everyone, mortals or immortals must follow the rules no matter what. Also, everyone who wishes to live permanently in Ping Fan would have to go through the regulated procedure strictly." "Roger that!" Su Zi¡¯An took over the array flags and jade letter respectfully as he watched upon the ¡®all Men are equal¡¯ sign. "Elder Cha, go and bring back Saijun now. Since Ping Fan had been established, the future auctions and matters shall be done here at Ping Fan." "Yes, Sect Head," Cha Hui bowed and acknowledged Mo Wuji¡¯s orders. Ever since the sect head entered the Vine Mountain of Safety, he had witnessed how his sect head got things done and how Ping Fan was built from scratch. Everytime Sect Head Mo gave an order, he would not hesitate to execute it. "Zi¡¯An, this is my Junior Sister Lian Yingxian and direct disciple Fu Jingfeng. When I am not around, help me make some arrangements for them. Yingxian and Jingfeng, come over to greet your senior. Su Zi¡¯An, Ping Fan¡¯s Deputy Sect Head. Cha Rui, Ping Fan¡¯s External Affairs Elder," Mo Wuji initially wanted to bring Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng to witness his lightning tribulation. However, now that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus had appeared, he would have to delay his lightning tribulation for a while. "Greetings Deputy Sect Head Su, greetings Elder Cha," Lian Yingxian and Fu Jingfeng regained their composure to show their respect. Hearing that Fu Jingfeng was their sect head¡¯s direct disciple and Lian Yingxian was their sect head¡¯s junior sister, both Su Zi¡¯An and Cha Rui dared not offend them. "I will be leaving first," Mo Wuji was anxious so after giving his instructions, he turned and left in a jiffy. Su Zi¡¯An was emotional because he didn¡¯t expect the Sect Head to task him with such important matters. He would follow everything his sect head instructed him strictly so as to not disappoint his sect head. At the thought of this, Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s spiritual will landed on the jade letter which Mo Wuji handed him and his expression changed drastically. "What is it?" Cha Rui noticed Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s change of expression so he hurried to ask. Su Zi¡¯An said with a pale face, "Sect Head actually let want equality among everyone who stayed at Ping Fan, regardless of immortals or mortals¡­" There was one more sentence which he didn¡¯t mention and that was if an immortal kill a mortal without reason, he would have to pay with his life. Even buddhist sects who practiced equality among people wouldn¡¯t dare to set such rules and they would at most reproach them and then used the excuse of buddhist dao to forgive and not kill the offender. Cha Rui patted Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s shoulder as he said, "Zi¡¯An, let¡¯s just follow Sect Head¡¯s instruction. We might not understand Sect Head¡¯s Dao now but up till today, has he made a mistake?" Looking at the boundless and majestic Ping Fan in front of him, Su Zi¡¯An nodded convincingly as he believed Mo Wuji assigned this task to himself because Mo Wuji trust that he would be able to do it without fail. ¡­ Mo Wuji really did believe that Su Zi¡¯An would be able to do his job well despite only being at the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. This was because Su Zi¡¯An did things with extreme caution and didn¡¯t display any arrogance like most immortals. One fine example was how Su Zi¡¯An was able to bring the few Tian Ji Sect disciples out from the Sword Prison in fine fettle. More importantly, Su Zi¡¯An was deeply loyal to him and Mo Wuji could feel it perhaps because he was originally the sect head of the Tian Ji Sect. Adding these reasons together, Mo Wuji could hand over Ping Fan to him with his heart at ease before heading towards the Broken World. ¡­ In the fourth level of the Broken World, Dou Hualong and Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s faces were extremely pale. For some unknown reasons, nobody visited this place over the past two years but there had been too many people rushing over recently which meant that the two of them could only continue hiding. "Senior Sister, what should we do?" Dou Hualong was very anxious because if they hadn¡¯t come first, they would have been spotted by others. Now that there were so many people surging in, spotting them would only be a matter of time. "These people didn¡¯t come here for us so we just need to try our best to head towards where there are denser immortal energy¡­" "But everyone coming in came from where immortal energy was denser so if we leave now, we would be meet all of them," Dou Hualong said worryingly even before Su Rou¡¯Er could finish her words. Why would Su Rou¡¯Er not know of this but Dou Hualong and herself really had nowhere else to go at this moment. These people definitely didn¡¯t come for them otherwise, they would have been stopped a long time ago. "Senior Sister, why don¡¯t we throw the Red Karmic Fire Lotus away," Dou Hualong had followed Su Rou¡¯Er for such a long time so he would naturally know that it would only be a matter of time before they were caught if he continued to carry the Red Karmic Fire Lotus around. After all, all he did was to hide the Red Karmic Fire Lotus and hadn¡¯t refine it yet. Any leakage of energy around this place would expose them to everyone. Chapter 718: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Reappears Chapter 718: Rogue Cultivator 2705 Reappears Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Hahaha, you guys really know how to hide. To actually hide in this god forsaken place for so long. If the Red Karmic Fire Lotus hadn¡¯t been revealed here, this immortal wouldn¡¯t have found you two ants¡­" A loud laughter caused Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong to go still. The red robed Fu Zhensong had already appeared in front of the two of them. Dou Hualong and Su Rou¡¯Er felt as though they had been dunked in a tub of ice as their entire bodies turned cold. Fu Zhensong¡¯s laughter suddenly stopped. He suddenly thought of something and his voice actually started to quiver, "You two have always been hiding here. Could it be that the two of you have found¡­" Fu Zhensong¡¯s idea shocked even himself. He gradually started to feel that his idea might actually be true. Now, the news, that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was likely to appear in the location where immortal spiritual energy was sparse, had been spreading throughout the entire fourth level. These two Tian Ji Sect ants had been hiding in this place the entire time. Who else but them could have taken the Red Karmic Fire Lotus? Thereafter, Fu Zhensong shook his head. The news that was being spread was very clear; two Grand Zhi Immortals had seen the Red Karmic Fire Lotus at the same time which resulted in a battle that caught the attention of others. "Go aond die then." Fu Zhensong opened his palm and a silver spade light shot towards Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong. Su Rou¡¯Er furiously ignited her vital essence and she stabbed out with her blue mountain dagger. However, Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s blue mountain dagger was like a firefly against Fu Zhensong¡¯s powerful spade light. "Boom!" The light from the blue mountain dagger was directly devoured as Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong were simultaneously sent flying. From the start to the end, Dou Hualong didn¡¯t even have the opportunity to make a single move. An entire groove of blood extended from the bottom of Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s chin all the way past her chest. Fresh blood instantly stained Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s body. "Hualong, I can¡¯t beat this person. I will try to drag him, hurry and flee¡­" Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s face was slightly pale, her voice was filled with anxiety. Dou Hualong did not hesitate to say, "I definitely won¡¯t escape. Even if I have to risk my life, I will make sure that this animal¡­" "Shut up." Su Rou¡¯Er shouted anxiously, "He¡¯s a Grand Zhi Immortal. Even if you risk your life, it would still be useless¡­" Su Rou¡¯Er didn¡¯t continue speaking; she knew that it would be useless. Today, both Dou Hualong and her wouldn¡¯t be able to escape alive. Fu Zhensong had already walked over. He chuckled, "If I still allow you two ants to escape today, then I, Fu Zhensong...." Fu Zhensong suddenly stopped talking. He saw a youth in brown robes walking over. Even though one could be ambushed at any moment while in the fourth level, this brown robed youth was strolling in a carefree and relaxed manner. What left Fu Zhensong shjocked was that this brown robed youth was emanating a terrifying aura which seemed capable of devouring the heavens and splitting the earths. It felt as though this youth could crush him with a single finger. This brown robed youth¡¯s eyes landed on him. He instantly felt an intensely cold sensation; he even starrted to shiver unconsciously. He knew that the strongest cultivation that could enter the Broken World¡¯s fourth level was the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. However, the gaze from this person caused him to suspect that even Immortal Kings wouldn¡¯t be a match for this brown robed youth. Fortunately, this brown robed youth didn¡¯t look at him for long. It seemed as though he, Fu Zhensong, was nothing more than an ant in this youth¡¯s eyes. The brown robed youth then swept his eyes across Su Rou¡¯Er. Immediately, his gaze was fixed. His heart started to point with an intense feeling. His eyes did not shift away from Su Rou¡¯Er. Perhaps this girl wasn¡¯t the prettiest. But her gentle beauty contained an indescribable quality that engraved a mark in his heart. Even though her face was pale, it still wasn¡¯t enough to conceal this quality of hers. This was the first time his heart moved because of a woman, and this was the first woman that made his heart move. "What¡¯s your name?" This brown robed youth voice suddenly turned gentle. "Su Rou¡¯Er." Su Rou¡¯Er struggled to stand up and she carefully retreated. This brown robed man was very strong, but she only wanted to leave as soon as possible. Feeling Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s fragilty and fear, an intense sense of desire arose in this brown robed man¡¯s heart. He was unable to discern whether it was a desire to own, or a desire to protect, or something else all together. He slowly turned his head and his eyes landed on Fu Zhensong. His voice was icy cold as he said, "You were the one who injured her?" Fu Zhensong¡¯s voice was quivering as he hurriedly said, "Senior, I¡­" Fu Zhensong immediately felt an explosive and intense pressure. He even started to feel suffocated; this suffocating pressure seemed to force him to kneel on the ground. "Hurry and go." Su Rou¡¯Er pulled Dou Hualong and they anxiously fled. Even though this brown robed man saved her and seemed to view her with favour, she still felt afraid. She could sense an intense desire in that brown robed man¡¯s eyes, and that desire caused her to be filled with fear. "Senior, they¡¯re going¡­" Fu Zhensong hurriedly said when he saw Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong flee. He hoped that this brown robed man would chase after Su Rou¡¯Er and let him go. "I know. Because you harmed her, you need to pay with your life," This brown robed youth said indifferently. He didn¡¯t chase after Su Rou¡¯Er. He knew that as long as he wanted to, he could easily find Su Rou¡¯Er. Hearing that this brown robed man was going to kill him, Fu Zhensong cried out anxiously, "Senior, you can¡¯t kill me. I¡¯m a disciple of the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao. I¡¯m also the manager of the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao¡¯s merchant house in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." This brown robed youth sneered, "Is the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao very impressive? After you die, you can tell your Empty Mirror Immortal Dao that the person who killed you was Lei Hongji." Just when Fu Zhensong was wondering who Lei Hongji was, a lightning sword shot over as fast as electricity. He could clearly see this lightning sword but he was unable to dodge it. "Pff!" A light of blood flashed. Fu Zhensong could even smell the charred smell from his own body. His eyes were filled with despair but he was unwilling to close them. He wasn¡¯t willing to die like that. "Pa! Pa! Pa!" The sound of applause could be heard. Lei Hongji turned his head. A black faced monk slowly walked over. This monk even had a scar on his face. This person seems familiar, Lei Hongji furrowed his brows. This was an ordinary looking monk, so ordinary to the point that he looked just like a mortal. This monk didn¡¯t even seem to emit form of immortal aura. "Not bad. Your lightning sword is even faster than mine. I heard that you have entered Lightning Sect. Did Lei Guyun, that old fogey, teach you any lightning-type sacred arts?" That black faced monk had already walked right in front of him. This Lei Hongji, who filled Fu Zhensong with fear, did not seem terrifying at all in front of this black faced monk. "Who are you exactly?" Lei Hongji asked coldly. Even though he knew that he was definitely stronger than the other party, he had a peculiar feeling. This person definitely wasn¡¯t simple, and this person even felt rather familiar. "I will say who I am later. Actually, I do know this person that you¡¯re killing, he¡¯s the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao¡¯s Fu Zhensong. Those years ago, I spared his life, but I never thought that he would eventually be killed by you. Rest assured, I will definitely bring this matter to light. Facing your Lightning Sect, the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao is nothing but an ant. Oh right, when your Lightning Sect destroys the Empty Mirror Immortal Dao, don¡¯t forget to call me over. I will go over and watch the show¡­ Oh, I forgot. You might not necessarily be able to leave here." This black faced monk rambled on as though he was chitchatting with a friend. Lei Hongji gasped. He had already recognised this person in front of him, "I was thinking who would be so arrogant in front of me, Lei Hongji, So it¡¯s you, Rogue Cultivator 2705." The black faced monk chuckled, "Lei Hongji, there are few who know that I am Rogue Cultivator 2705. But there are also few who don¡¯t know that I am Mo Wuji." When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he wiped his face. The appearance of the black robed monk vanished without a trace and Mo Wuji appeared in front of Lei Hongji in his original appearance. He seemed to have grown significantly taller and his body was perfect as though it was sculpted. He also had a pair of bright eyes which seemed capable of seeing through a person. This even left Lei Hongji feeling slightly jealous. He had always thought that he was handsome. Unfortunately, his eyes were slightly long and narrow, which spoiled his overall aethestics. Mo Wuji clearly looked very ordinary, but Lei Hongji could not help but feel an intense pressure. He seemed to have met his final opponent. Just like Fu Zhensong, he also had felt suffocated. However, he knew that this was an illusion. It was all because of the heavy pressure that Mo Wuji had on him, as well as the deep hatred that he felt towards Mo Wuji. "Mo Wuji, since we¡¯ve met here today, then let¡¯s settle all our grudges." Lei Hongji calmed down. His enmity with Mo Wuji was as deep as the sea; it could only be resolved when one of them was killed by the other. At this instant, he even felt thankful. He was grateful that those three Grand Emperors and that Quasi-Emperor weren¡¯t successful in killing Mo Wuji. Otherwise, how would he, Lei Hongji, be able to personally take his revenge? Lei Hongji opened his hand and a huge lightning hammer appeared in his palm. At this instant, it wasn¡¯t just Lei Hongji¡¯s body which seemed to be dancing with electricity, even his lightning hammer was brimming with lightning. An intense energy instantly filled this entire space. Under this lightning energy, some of the wild grass directly withered and turned into dust. A sharp and sword-like domain instantly expanded and swept towards Mo Wuji. A serious expression appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. This was the first time he was fighting with Lei Hongji, but he was not unfamiliar with Lei Hongji. He could faintly feel that Lei Hongji¡¯s power would rise explosively every time he advances in cultivation. Feeling Lei Hongji¡¯s sword-like domain surge over, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to form his whirlpool domain. "Boom!" The lightning swords within Lei Hongji¡¯s domain exploded within Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. Trails of lightning filled the air. Far away, some cultivators felt this terrifying energy and they all skirted pass. Emotions filled Lei Hongji¡¯s eyes. This wasn¡¯t revenge, but desire. Since he stepped into the True Lake Stage, he had never met an opponent. No one knew of his secret; at every instnat, his talent was evolving. In other words, there would be a day when his talent was number one in the entire universe. It was exactly because of this, that he wanted to know of Mo Wuji¡¯s secret which allowed Mo Wuji to keep up with him in terms of cultivation level. Chapter 719: The Fated Battle Chapter 719: The Fated Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations It never came to Lei Hongji that Mo Wuji would be his match. No one in the same stage had ever been a batch for him. Even Immortal Kings had fell under his hand. He had also investigated Mo Wuji¡¯s escape from the Immortal Emperors clearly; Mo Wuji was only able to do so because of his Immortal Emperor level puppet. A more important reason was that the Immortal Emperors didn¡¯t want to kill Mo Wuji. Back when they attacked Mo Wuji, all of them held back. It was just that they never expected Mo Wuji¡¯s body to be so strong that he managed to draw the Immortal Emperors¡¯ attacks to tear a gap in space. Lei Hongji slammed out with his lightning hammer once more. The sound of rumbling thunder filled the air, and the entire area in a radius of 5 kilometers became enveloped in dancing lightning. [1] Mo Wuji opened his hand and slashed out with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. A wave of crashing sand filled the air, and this sand instantly transformed into halberd light which saturated the entire space within 5 kilometers. "Boom!" The majestic lightning bolts crashed against the boundless halberd light and exploded in mid air. Deep gorges were plowed out of the ground as a startling, boundless and majestic energy inundated the air. "Pff! Pff! Pff!" Ten beams of halberd light penetrated through the web of lightning and pierced through Lei Hongji¡¯s body, drawing out a few minute trails of blood. At the same time, Lei Hongji saw many more lightning bolts land on Mo Wuji. Lei Hongji smiled in disdain. He knew that these lightning bolts weren¡¯t able to heavily injure Mo Wuji, but he could continue to slowly tear Mo Wuji inch by inch using his lightning bolts. But at the very next instant, Lei Hongji was stunned still. Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd light managed to leave some temporary scars on his body. However, his bolts of lightning didn¡¯t even seem to cause a ripple when they landed on Mo Wuji. They didn¡¯t even cause a crease on Mo Wuji¡¯s robes. Lei Hongji¡¯s pupils constricted. Mo Wuji was able divert away the attack of several Grand Emperors; this meant that Mo Wuji was a powerful physique tempering expert. However, he didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji¡¯s physique would be strong to such a degree, that his lightning web wasn¡¯t even able to leave a scratch. He was extremely clear of how powerful his lightning web was; just one of his lightning bolts was enough to tear a huge scar on an Immortal King. A solemn expression condensed on Lei Hongji¡¯s face; Mo Wuji was the only person at the same stage that could deal with him. Back when Mo Wuji used his whirlpool domain to counter his lightning sword domain, he still wasn¡¯t particularly surprised. But now that he saw how powerful Mo Wuji¡¯s physique was, he started to treat Mo Wuji as a true opponent. He lifted his lightning hammer, and even before he brought it down, a loud and deafening thunder resounded through the air. The air seemed to turn heavy; it felt as though the entire space was rumbling due to the thunder. Mo Wuji also turned serious. In that previous exchange, he felt that his Grand Desert actually wasn¡¯t able to gain the upper. If he was dealing with an ordinary Great Circle Grand Luo Immortal, his Grand Desert would easily have restrained the other party. Thereafter, his opponent could only get slaughtered within his domain. However, Lei Hongji¡¯s lightning web not only negated his Grand Desert halberd light, it was also able to counter his domaoin. Previously, Mo Wuji did not intentionally allow for those lightning bolts to land on him. They only managed to do so because his domain had been ripped apart by the combined forces of Lei Hongji¡¯s lightning sword domain and lightning web attack. If Lei Hongji¡¯s lightning web was merely a probing attack, then this current hammer which had yet to be brought down was the real killer move. That rumbling thunder was formless and indiscernible. It wasn¡¯t a sound-type attack, but it was actually able to cause a person to feel pressure and danger. Mo Wuji calmed down; Lei Hongji had his huge self-confidence, and likewise, he had his own pride. It could be said that ever since he found his Mortal Dao, he had never lost against someone of the stage stage. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd slowly drew an arc in midair. As this arc was being drawn, the oppressive thunder from the lightning hammer gradually weakened. An unending river seemed to form and cascade downwards; a long and winding river of halberd light was conjured among the rumbling thunder. The halberd light was powerful, like a surging silver river. With its power which seemed capable of tearing space itself, it wrapped around Lei Hongji. Even immortals that were hundreds of kilometers away could feel the intense killing intent within this halberd light. This killing intent was not concealed in any manner as it burst forth in full power. Lei Hongji still had a calm expression on his face. At this moment, the solemn thunder in the air had disappeared. What replaced it was a descending lightning hammer which seemed capable of disintegrating the dome of the heavens. The immortals that were spectating this battle from far away could also feel the immense pressure as this terrifying lightning hammer came down. Many of them instantly coughed out fresh blood and they immediately retreated. With their abilities, they did not even have the rights to watch such a terrifying battle. Lei Hongji didn''t only have a calm expression on his face, even his eyes were as still as a pool of dead water. There was never an opponent in the same stage that could defend against his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji was just a Grand Luo Immortal. Even if Mo Wuji was an Immortal King, Mo Wuji could only die against his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. He acknowledged that this halberd river of Mo Wuji''s was very terrifying. But even if it was any better, it could not compare against his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. The sky instantly dimmed and thunder filled the air once more. At the same time, the dazzling halberd light started to get increasingly bright and blinding. The cascading river finally crashed against this terrifying lightning hammer! "Boom! Boom! Boom!" "Kacha!" It felt as thought the entire world was exploding. At this instant, the Winding River had been shattered to pieces and exploded into millions of halberd light. As for the lightning hammer, it was only slowed down briefly before it continued on its descent. Mo Wuji immediately coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood; his Winding River was actually unable to defend against his opponent''s lightning hammer. Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with shock, but the fire in his heart began to burn with greater intensity. Ever since he started cultivating, he had never met an expert like Lei Hongji. Lei Hongji had the same cultivation as him, and even had such incredible means. Only battling such a person had true meaning. Lei Hongji forcefully swallowed his fresh blood back down his throat. He was equally filled with shock. He didn''t know that Mo Wuji''s Winding River was not one of Mo Wuji''s most impressive sacred arts, but he was very clear that his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer was one of his. According to what he thought, his lightning hammer would not even slow down as it destroyed Mo Wuji''s Winding River, and it would continue to descend down on Mo Wuji and smash him into pieces. But what did he see? His lightning hammer did manage to shatter Mo Wuji''s Winding River, but it actually slowed down for a brief moment. During that moment, a gap appeared in the space sealed by his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer, and this gap was enough got Mo Wuji to escape through. Lei Hongji had never felt such an intense a killing intent as he did now. He definitely had to eliminate Mo Wuji today. An ordinary looking longsword appeared in Lei Hongji''s hand. The longsword began to conjure up a beam of white light. Lei Hongji was sure that Mo Wuji would definitely retreat; as long as Mo Wuji retreated, his longsword would shred Mo Wuji into pieces. Tian Ji Sword? The light in Mo Wuji''s eyes condensed the moment Lei Hongji took out the longsword. He could feel the aura of Tian Ji Sword. However, it didn''t matter whether Lei Hongji would take out Tian Ji Sword or not, Mo Wuji had never intended on letting the other party go. He did not think that his Winding River was worse than his opponent, it was merely because his understandings towards Winding River were still shallow. As his Winding River got split and dispersed, how could Mo Wuji continue to allow Lei Hongji to feel arrogant? He did not even move as he stared straight at the descending 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer and punched at it. Domain Smashing Fist. The punch that had its own domain. Mo Wuji did not believe that his fist wasn''t able to defeat his opponent''s lightning hammer. When Lei Hongji saw that Mo Wuji didn''t retreat, he instantly jolted. Thereafter, he saw that Mo Wuji had actually used a fist to deal against his lightning hammer and he started to chuckle. It didn''t matter how impressive Mo Wuji''s name was, whether he was Rogue Cultivator 2705 or Star Lord of Star King Mountain. Logically, Mo Wuji shouldn''t be so stupid. But today, Mo Wuji actually did such a stupid thing. He could not help but laugh hysterically. He was sure that no matter how strong Mo Wuji''s physique was, Mo Wuji still wouldn''t be able to use a fist to deal with his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. Mo Wuji didn''t even care about Lei Hongji''s hysterical laughter. His Domain Smashing Fist contained the energy of an immortal domain, drawing in waves of immortal spiritual energy which landed on the descending lightning hammer. "Boom!" A violent explosion resounded through the air. Just like how the previous lightning hammer hammer shattered Mo Wuji''s Winding River, the boundless lightning dancing on the lightning hammer were instantly scattered. The immortal spiritual energy in the 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer were also blasted away by Mo Wuji''s fist, causing the lightning hammer to shrink rapidly. Immediately, Lei Hongji felt as though his internal organs were exploding from the inside. He was no longer able to resist the intense rebound of energy. Just like Mo Wuji, he also coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire body was also sent flying backwards. As he was sent flying, he saw his lightning hammer being blown away by Mo Wuji''s fist. At this instant, Lei Hongji''s heart was filled with shock and astonishment; he no longer had the same incredulous feeling as before. He had never seen a person that could use a fist to break apart his 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. How powerful was Mo Wuji''s physique? "Bang!" Lei Hongji finally stabilised himself back on the ground. Immediately, he drew his lightning hammer back to his hand. He did not immediately attack Mo Wuji; instead, he looked at Mo Wuji in aghast. This was the first time he felt that Mo Wuji was actually no weaker than him. In fact, Mo Wuji was even slightly stronger than him. The area in between Mo Wuji had him had long been blasted into a huge gorge. Mo Wuji wiped the trail of blood at the corner of his mouth. He opened his hand and his halberd reappeared in his palm. He stated calmly at Lei Hongji as he started to swing his halberd once more. Lei Hongji was far too impressive. If it was possible, he really wanted to kill Lei Hongji right here. Thus, even though his internal organs were injured, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to use his Setting Sun. If his Setting Sun still wasn''t able to kill Lei Hongji, he still had his final killing move, Remnant Chasm. His spiritual will and immortal spiritual energy had been depleted, but he still had his spirit storage channel and elemental storage channels. He did not believe that he wasn''t able to eliminate Lei Hongji. Lei Hongji instantly felt the surrounding air turn still. It felt as though it was being extinguished as the air became filled with desolation. There clearly wasn''t a sun in the sky but he could actually feel a setting sun. He even felt that his life was tied onto that setting sun, the moment that sun sets fully, then his life would end completely. Lei Hongji knew that this was an illusion; Mo Wuji was strong, but he wasn''t strong enough to kill him. However, he didn''t want to continue fighting because he knew that he was also unable to kill Mo Wuji. "One day, I, Lei Hongji, will personally kill you." With that, Lei Hongji''s figure flashed and he vanished without a trace. Mo Wuji kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. He didn''t chase after Lei Hongji. As long as Lei Hongji was serious in his escape, he wouldn''t be able to kill Lei Hongji. Chapter 720: The Old Friend In The Broken World’s Fourth Level Chapter 720: The Old Friend In The Broken World¡¯s Fourth Level Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Lei Hongji left, Mo Wuji didn''t simply stay there; he also left swiftly. He had heard that the person who obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was a Grand Zhi Immortal, and one from Blade Scar Mountain at that. Mo Wuji had always been enemies with Blade Scar Mountain. Moreover, when the treasure was as precious as the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, there was no need to talk about how it was in the hands of someone from Blade Scar Mountain. Even if it was with someone from the Very High Heavens, Mo Wuji could not give up any opportunity to snatch it. Since the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was a fire type treasure, Mo Wuji even resorted to wielding his Scholar''s Heart on his wrist. The Scholar''s Heart was currently a Grade 7 immortal flame, which made it especially sensitive to fire type treasures. The moment the Red Karmic Fire appears, even if it was being hidden, the Scholar''s Heart would be able to faintly detect it. Mo Wuji was sure that no matter who obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, even if it was a peak expert like Lei Hongji, he wouldn''t be able to completely refine the Lotus in these short one to two years. ¡­ At the same moment, Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong had stopped. The two of them had been escaping frantically, and they had already exceeded the range of a Grand Luo Immortal''s spiritual will. "Senior sister, staying here is too dangerous. Why don''t we take the risk and go out. Perhaps¡­" Before Dou Hualong could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Su Rou''Er. Su Rou''Er''s injuries had yet to heal and her face was pale white. She waved her hand towards Dou Hualong, "Hualong, you''re too na?ve. Before we could even leave the Broken World''s fourth level, we would already be discovered." Su Rou''Er was very clear of Dou Hualong''s abilities. With his abilities, it would be hard for him, even if he had a hundred years, to completely conceal the aura of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Of course, actually refining the Lotus might not take that long. After all, Dou Hualong''s power would be continuously increasing at every instant, and the time required to refine the Red Karmic Fire Lotus would constantly shorten. Still, Dou Hualong had no means of concealing the aura of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Even if no one in the fourth level was able to detect it, the moment they left the Broken World, anyone of the Immortal Emperors outside would notice it. There was no need to talk about Immortal Emperors. Even Immortal Reverents or some powerful Immortal Kings could detect the aura from the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. "Your senior sister is right. Your thinking is too na?ve. If you treasure is in your hands, you should hide. Running around and parading it is no good." A calm voice interrupted Su Rou''Er''s words. "Who?" Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong¡¯s heart sank. Even though the two of them didn¡¯t know why that Grand Luo Immortal that killed Fu Zhensong didn¡¯t chase after them, they were very clear that they were mere ants here. No matter who came, the two of them were completely helpless to resist. "Gu Feiyi." After this name was uttered, a figure appeared in front of the two of them. This person was extremely black; he looked as though he had been dipped in ink and he hadn¡¯t washed it off. What shocked Su Rou¡¯Er the most was that the air around this person was completely cold. However, within this coldness, there was seemed to be some brief flashes of the aura of a scorching sun. Su Rou¡¯Er didn¡¯t say anything. She knew that saying anything now would still be useless. "Honesty is hard to accept, but I still have to tell the two of you a hard truth. Even in the Broken World, there are at least 100 to 200 people that can detect the fire-type treasure on the two of you." Gu Feiyi¡¯s domain directly enveloped Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong. Even though his voice was very calm, Su Rou¡¯Er could still hear the anxiety and emotion in his voice. "Hand it over." Gu Feiyi didn¡¯t attack them. Instead, he was continuously using his domain to seal the air in the area. It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of attacking; in his eyes, Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong were merely existences equivalent to ants. He was only worried that at the instant he made a move, the other party would reveal the aura of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Because he was sure that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was on Dou Hualong, he didn¡¯t lie to them in his previous words. As long as a person cultivated either a fire-type technique or a Yin-type technique, it would be very easy for him to detect the peculiar energy on Dou Hualong. Because of this peculiar energy, coupled with the conversation that he overheard, he was sure that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was on Dou Hualong. Su Rou''Er took in a deep breath, "We can give it to you. But you must swear to let the two of us go." Gu Feiyi¡¯s heart was instantly filled with glee. He did not hesitate to say, "Alright, I swear to let the two of you go. Now hand it over." Gu Feiyi was quick in his reply. In his heart, there wasn''t only elation, but contempt for Su Rou''Er. Since they knew the whereabouts of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, they must be dreaming if they think that they could leave. ¡­ Mo Wuji suddenly stopped. He saw two early stage Xuan Immortals battling. One of them had a beard covering his entire face. He was someone that Mo Wuji had always been searching for. "Master Pu Zi, long time no see. I never thought that I would see you here." With a single step, Mo Wuji appeared in front of the two Xuan Immortals. In his heart, he was astonished at Master Pu Zi¡¯s cultivation speed. In such a short amount of time, he actually reached the early Xuan Immortal Stage. Of course, Master Pu Zi and co. couldn''t be compared with his speed. The resources in the Immortal World were scarce, and every step in cultivation was culminated in the building up of immortal elemental energy. Thus, it was not strange for an immortal to take thousands or even ten thousands of years to advance a single stage. Not everyone was as heaven defying as Lei Hongji and him. How long had it been? Master Pu Zi was already an early stage Xuan Immortal? "Sect Head Mo¡­" When Master Pu Zi saw Mo Wuji, he was instantly stunned still. Mo Wuji''s grand name had reverberated throughout the Immortal World; so how could not have heart of Mo Wuji''s deeds? However, the last person he wanted to see was Mo Wuji. This was even though the two of them had been comrades back in Half Immortal Domain. That Xuan Immortal that was battling Master Pu Zi couldn''t discern Mo Wuji''s power, but when he saw the fear in Master Pu Zi''s eyes, he knew that this person was not simple. He did not hesitate to turn and flee, and in an instant, he had disappeared. Mo Wuji didn''t care about that Xuan Immortal as his eyes remained fixed on Master Pu Zi. Back when their crew arrived at the Corner of Yong Ying, Lou Chuanhe and Jia Qi had been betrayed, Abacus had almost died in Ying Bian City, and Tong Cheng had been slaughtered. Pu Zi was the most possible suspect. "Sect Head, listen to me. I have nothing to do with what happened back then. I did obtain the Immortal Traversing Ship, but I didn''t do anything that betrayed my comrades." As he was speaking, Pu Zi had already grabbed a ring and threw it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji caught the ring, but before he could scan it with his spiritual will, his face changed and his figure flashed. In an instant, he disappeared right in front of Pu Zi. Pu Zi jolted, but immediately he was filled with mad glee. He did not hesitate to take out a talisman which he used to escape. Before he reached the Immortal Emperor Stage, he never wanted to meet Mo Wuji again. Even though he didn''t know why Mo Wuji had departed so suddenly, he was very clear that this was his only chance to survive. ¡­ "Pff!" Dou Hualong''s mouth went wide as he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. A portion of his crushed guts spewed out together with this blood. The storage ring in his hand also exploded at this instant¡­ "Stupid thing¡­" Gu Feiyi cried out in anger. Just now, he saw Dou Hualong taking a communication bead out from his storage bead. He thought that Dou Hualong was trying to send a message which was why he promptly destroyed Dou Hualong''s ring. If not because he hadn''t seen the Red Karmic Fire Lotus yet, he would have directly killed Dou Hualong just now. "Where''s the thing?" After destroying Dou Hualong''s ring, he discovered that the ring didn''t contain the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. When Dou Hualong''s ring was destroyed, the things inside would naturally be turned to dust. However, Gu Feiyi was sure that a treasure like the Red Karmic Fire Lotus definitely wouldn''t be harmed. "What thing do you want?" Mo Wuji said coldly. Feeling the domain restrains disappear in an instant, Dou Hualong and Su Rou''Er prepared to flee. But when the two saw that Mo Wuji had come, they were instantly filled with emotions. "This is a matter of my Heavenscraping Mountain. Sir, don''t incur our wrath." Gu Feiyi''s voice was cold and solemn. He regretted; he should have directly killed Dou Hualong and drag the corpse away. Good things come with risk. Just because he tried to avoid the risk, he actually caused the risk to come. Mo Wuji had not made a move, but he could feel that Mo Wuji was extremely powerful. Mo Wuji might even be more powerful than him. "Big brother¡­" "Senior Brother Mo!" Dou Hualong and Su Rou''Er were filled with indescribable emotions. They had never thought that they would see Mo Wuji here. "The two of you wait. I have to settle some debts with this person." Mo Wuji lifted his hand and a concealment seal landed on Dou Hualong. There was a Xiantian fire type energy emanating from Dou Hualong; Mo Wuji felt it the moment he arrived. The purity of this energy was even stronger than his primal fire crystals; what else could it be other than the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. "Kacha!" Gu Feiyi''s domain shattered, and at the very next instant, he felt himself being enveloped by a whirlpool domain. Gu Feiyi''s face went pale. He was a late stage Grand Luo Immortal. Supposedly, he could stroll around the fourth level of the Broken World without fear. But the moment Mo Wuji''s domain appeared, he knew that he wouldn''t even last a single blow of Mo Wuji''s. "Since immortal friend knows these two people, then consider it my fault. I will take my leave." Gu Feiyi turned and tried to leave. "Now that you''re here, you still think you can leave?" Mo Wuji''s voice was tinged with killing intent. Gu Feiyi¡¯s heart went cold and he immediately said, "Immortal friend is being far too unreasonable. Even though my Heavenscraping Mountain might not be a peak sect, it is not something that can be easily bullied. Sir, you can indeed kill me, but the instant I die, Heavenscraping Mountain would know who''s my killer." Mo Wuji seemed as though he didn''t hear Gu Feiyi''s words as he continued to speak coldly, "Who''s Gu Jiushi to you?" "He is my older cousin." When Gu Feiyi heard Mo Wuji mention Gu Jiushi, he did not hesitate to answer. If the two of them knew each other, then things would be easier to handle. His cousin was an intermediate stage Immortal King and was incomparably powerful. It was exactly because he looked a lot like his cousin, with his ink black skin and his Yin and Yang aura, that his cousin viewed him favourably. "Very good. After so many years, I can finally collect some interest." With that, Mo Wuji''s hand opened and a huge hand of immortal elemental energy appeared and pinched Gu Feiyi''s neck. Back in the Lifeless River, he had almost been killed by Li Qinggu and Gu Jiushi in their battle of Yin and Yang. If not for his vitality channel, his corpse would have already decomposed by now. Even though he learnt the Wheel of Life and Death because of this, he would not forget this enmity. All this while, he did not know where these two came from. Today, he finally got to know that Gu Jiushi was from Heavenscraping Mountain. Chapter 721: Escape Or Die Chapter 721: Escape Or Die Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Gu Feiyi¡¯s heart turned cold as a feeling of despair flooded into his mind. The confidence that he built up ever since he started cultivating was shattered at the very moment. It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of death; it was the sense of helplessness that inundated him. He was an esteemed late stage Grand Luo Immortal. However, he was being pinched to death like a tiny chicken by someone that wasn¡¯t even in the Immortal King. This disparity in power was too hard for him to accept. One must know that Immortal Kings weren¡¯t able to enter the fourth level of the Broken World. That meant that this person, who easily destroyed his domain and was currently pinching his neck, was only a Great Circle Grand Luo Immortal at the very most. To be so much weaker than another cultivator at the same stage, how could his confidence not disintegrate? "Kacha!" With a final pinch of his immortal elemental energy, Mo Wuji turned Gu Feiyi¡¯s entire body into a mist of blood. Gu Feiyi had great expectations; he believed that the instant he died, his primordial spirit would immediately transmit his final scene to his soul tablet. Even if his opponent was an Immortal King, that scene could still be transmitted. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji¡¯s didn¡¯t even give him that chance; Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t an Immortal King, but his methods were far more terrifying than one. "Big Brother, I have the Red Karmic Fire Lotus," Dou Hualong said agitatedly. Even though his voice was slightly weak, it could not conceal his incomparable excitement and emotion. Mo Wuji retrieved two healing pills and directly sent them into Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s and Dou Hualong¡¯s mouths. With his ability, he could tell that Dou Hualong¡¯s and Su Rou¡¯Er¡¯s injuries weren¡¯t light. "Big Brother, I will give the red lotus to you." Dou Hualong did not hesitate to pat his Mind Palace, causing a beautiful red lotus to appear in front of him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t simply wait for the red lotus¡¯s energy to spread, as he immediately sent the red lotus into his Undying World. Mo Wuji knew that if the matter regarding the red lotus was revealed, then it would be very hard for him to bring it out. "Let¡¯s go. We will discuss further. The red lotus was obtained by you; so it¡¯s your fortune. When we return back to the sect, I will return the red lotus back to you," Mo Wuji said with a sigh of relief. Actually, he was also impressed with Dou Hualong¡¯s luck. There were so many experts vying for the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, but it actually ended up in Dou Hualong¡¯s hands. What¡¯s luckier was that no one seemed to know about it. Moreover, Dou Hualong¡¯s cultivation might even be the lowest one currently in the entire Broken World. "Big Brother, my cultivation is too low, I can¡¯t¡­" Mo Wuji waved his hand and interrupted Dou Hualong¡¯s words, "Everyone started from a low cultivation. Your cultivation might be low now, but that does not mean that it would always be low. Any other matters regarding this can be discussed later. Let¡¯s leave this place first." If the Red Karmic Fire Lotus had been obtained by someone from Blade Scar Mountain, then Mo Wuji would definitely enter the struggle for it. But since it was Dou Hualong that obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, Mo Wuji would only feel happy on behalf of Dou Hualong. "Senior Brother Mo, the sect has been established?" Su Rou¡¯Er asked in pleasant surprise. "Yes, but the sect¡¯s name has been changed to Ping Fan. Tian Ji Sect¡¯s Su Zi¡¯An, Lu Ming, Hai Zhenkui and Fan Wa have ultimately returned back to the sect," Mo Wuji smiled and said. Previously, a huge reason why he took Su Rou¡¯Er was due to pity. Of course, Su Rou¡¯Er being a Tian Ji Sect disciple was also a contributing factor. However, his opinion towards Su Rou¡¯Er had changed completely; Su Rou¡¯Er was clearly a principled person. Otherwise, Dou Hualong wouldn¡¯t have lived till now, nor would he have the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. When placed in the same circumstances, Pu Zi did something entirely different. Moreover, one must know that when compared to the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, the Immortal Traversing Ship was not even worth mentioning. Even before he could leave a spiritual will imprint on Pu Zi, Pu Zi had already escaped. He did not manage to ask Pu Zi whether he was the traitor, but seeing what happened, Mo Wuji had some rough answers in his heart. If Pu Zi was truly without a guilty conscience, he wouldn¡¯t have escaped. "Ah¡­ Elder Su is still alive¡­" Su Rou¡¯Er cried out emotionally. The name of the sect didn¡¯t really matter to her, but it was great news that her sect¡¯s Elder Su was still alive. "Boom!" An intense tremor resounded through the air, Mo Wuji suddenly turned to face the Northwest direction. "This does not seem like the sounds of a battle," Dou Hualong said carefully. "We¡¯ll go over and take a look. The two of you, follow me," Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say. If it was something else, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have said such a thing. Now that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus had ended up in their hands, the best thing for them to do was to get out of here. After all, the most precious treasure in the entire fourth level was probably the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. However, during that violent tremor, Mo Wuji felt a familiar aura - the aura of the Book of Luo. Mo Wuji still had a page of the Book of Luo on him, and he was especially clear of how impressive it would be if the entire book was gathered. Even if the book wasn¡¯t assembled, just a single page was already a priceless treasure. Now that such a thing had appeared, how could he let it go? "Senior Brother Mo, I still have a matter to tell you." Su Rou¡¯Er said as she followed by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. "What¡¯s the matter?" Even though Mo Wuji was responding to Su Rou¡¯Er, his spiritual will had already reached the site of the explosion. It was actually a ruins that was not much different from the third level¡¯s Broken Ruins. This ruins seemed to be concealed by some array. In front of these ruins, there were at least 1 to 2 hundred people. That explosion just now was due to the combined attack of these people on that array. The aura of the Book of Luo seeped out from the ruins, and he definitely wasn¡¯t the only one that caught that aura. As he was responding to Su Rou¡¯Er, Mo Wuji took out to Dry Wimple Pills and handed them to Su Rou¡¯Er and Dou Hualong, "The two of you, first eat these Dry Wimple Pills, then change your appearance. We will revert back only when we return back to the sect." Mo Wuji also wiped his face as he turned back to Rogue Cultivator 2705. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t worried that Lei Hongji would reveal his identity. If Lei Hongji was the one who won the previous battle, that Lei Hongji would like have informed the experts of Lightning Sect to wait at the entrance of the fourth level to ambush and kill him, Mo Wuji. But since Lei Hongji was the one who lost, then with his stellar talent and his immense pride, he would want to rely on his own power to eventually get back at Mo Wuji. If Lei Hongji didn¡¯t even have such a mentality, his future would have been limited, and he definitely wouldn¡¯t have gotten to where he was today. Thus, Mo Wuji was sure that Lei Hongji would come back to battle him; not only would Lei Hongji do it to build his self-confidence, he would do it to realise his own Dao. If it was him, he would also have done the same. If he wasn¡¯t able to defeat an opponent that was at the same stage, he would rely on his own power to get back at his opponent. Su Rou¡¯Er swallowed the Dry Wimple Pill and changed her appearance. Then, she said, "These years, Junior Brother Hualong and I have been hiding in Water Ying Immortal City. Originally, we wanted to pay a visit to Senior Sister Wen Lianxi. However, we found out that Water Ying Immortal City was being surveilled, and the Water Ying Castellan does not seem to be able to leave the city¡­" Mo Wuji frowned; Water Ying Immortal City should be a high grade immortal city; so who would dare to surveil the city? However, it was true that Wen Lianxi¡¯s father¡¯s, Wen Hou¡¯s, cultivation was slightly too low. After they returned, he would find some time to pay a visit to Water Ying Immortal City. After all, Wen Lianxi¡¯s family is not bad. ¡­ Water Ying Immortal City. When compared to the rest of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, this immortal city was truly unremarkable. Back then, this place had some geographical importance since it was located near to the Corner of Yong Ying. Thereafter, the Corner of Yong Ying had become trashed, and Water Ying Immortal City had become the city right at the fringe of the Immortal Domain. If not because of the results attained by Mo Wuji during the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition which allowed this city to be promoted to become a high grade city, fewer people would know of this place. At this moment, Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s Castellan Wen Hou was sitting in his residences. His entire face was filled with fatigue and worry; his eyes were clearly brimming with anxiety. On his table, there was a bright red invitation card. The veins on his hand were protruding; clearly, his heart was not at ease. A few years ago, Water Ying Immortal City avoided a crisis when it was promoted to a high grade immortal city. Back then, Wen Hou thought that Water Ying Immortal City would continue on this trajectory and continue to get better. He also thought that within a short time, his cultivation would reach the Immortal Reverent Stage. However, after all these years, his cultivation did not rise even a single bit; it was exactly the same as he was previously. It wasn¡¯t because he had a lacking talent, but because Water Ying Immortal City was currently even worse than a low grade immortal city. By his side, were his wife Yan Qianling and his best friend Tan Liang. Because of his time with several Pill Emperors, Tan Liang¡¯s Pill Dao had reached a higher level; he was currently a Tier 5 Pill King. "Wen Hou, Lianxi has gone to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. If she gets chosen by the Very High Heavens, that guy wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything to us even if he already advanced into the Immortal Emperor Stage," Yan Qianling sighed and advised softly. This red card was an invitation card from Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun after he advanced into the Immortal Emperor Stage. In the seven Immortal Domains, only Yong Ying Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun who had a name that sounded greater than his actual capability. This was because he wasn¡¯t an Immortal Emperor. Originally, he wanted to make his of the alchemy competition to obtain an Emperor Dao Fruit from Yunxian Immortal Valley. However, it was actually snatched away by Mo Wuji. Without the Emperor Dao Fruit, he could only behave like a little kid and cultivate assiduously. Fortunately, his Breath of Hongmeng managed to help him, allowing him to realise his Dao and step into the ranks of Immortal Emperors. Water Ying Immortal City¡¯s Wen Hou had close ties with Mo Wuji. It was precisely because of Mo Wuji that Water Ying Immortal City could become a high grade immortal city. After Mo Wuji took away his Emperor Dao Fruit, Kui Fengyun directly started monitoring Wen Hou¡¯s family. The reason why he hadn¡¯t made a move on Wen Hou previously was because he had yet to advance into the Immortal Emperor Stage then. Additionally, Mo Wuji¡¯s name had been spreading throughout the Immortal World all these years, which caused him to be afraid to act. Now that he had advanced and become an Immortal Emperor, and now that he also heard that Mo Wuji had been crushed by the coalition of several Grand Emperors, the first thing he wanted to do was kill Wen Hou. Naturally, he, Kui Fengyun, wouldn¡¯t go to Wen Hou to kill him. Since he wanted to kill them, he wanted Wen Hou and his family to present themselves in front of him. Thus, this invitation card appeared in front of Wen Hou. It wasn¡¯t inviting them to a banquet, but inviting them to their deaths. Wen Hou sighed, "I¡¯m already very satisfied that Lianxi was able to escape Water Ying Immortal City. But for her to be selected by the Very High Heavens, ah, that¡¯s far too difficult. Back then, I thought that I would be able to spring into the heavens when my Water Ying Immortal City became a high grade immortal city. But now, I finally now that I¡¯m only able to see the heavens through a foggy mist." Yan Qianling frowned slightly, "Wen Hou, if not for Pill Master Mo, our family would have been done for many years ago." Wen Hou shook his head, "Qianling, I¡¯m not blaming Pill Master Mo. Towards him, my Wen Family only has gratitude. How can I blame him? I¡¯m only lamenting the fate of my Wen Family." Tan Liang suddenly said, "Brother Wen, I don¡¯t think that we should wait here like sitting ducks. Why don¡¯t we escape Water Ying Immortal City." "Escape Water Ying Immortal City?" Wen Hou stared at Tan Liang in aghast; he had never thought of escaping. Being surrounded by so many experts, how could he escape? Moreover, he was no longer the one in control of the protective array around Water Ying Immortal City. "If you don¡¯t escape, you will die undoubtedly. If you do, there would at least be a thread of hope," Tan Liang said resolutely. Chapter 722: Emotionless Woman Chapter 722: Emotionless Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Alright. My daughter Lianxi has already gone to the Broken World; whether she gets selected by the Very High Heavens depends on her own fate. I, Wen Hou, am not a sitting duck. I will go with what Brother Tan said, we will escape from Water Ying Immortal City." Wen Hou suddenly stood up; his tone was clearly tinged with agitation and anxiety. Under Kui Fengyun¡¯s surveillance, he really didn''t dare to flee. Even though he knew that he would lose his life if he went to Yong Ying Immortal City, he still held onto that bit of hope that Kui Fengyun wouldn''t kill him. If he fled, it would be difficult for an Immortal King like him to escape from Kui Fengyun''s grasps. If he was caught, then he would suffer from a fate worse than death. It was exactly because of this that he never dared to flee this whole time. But now that Tan Liang had warned him, he knew that he was holding onto the wrong hope all along. If he didn''t flee, his nightmare would definitely turn into reality. Tan Liang also stood up, "Brother Wen, since you have decided to escape, then we have to plan our route carefully. In Water Ying Immortal City, there are there late stage Immortal Kings, as well as that killing array that seals the entire city. If we alarm them and they activate the array, then even if we were Immortal Reverents, we wouldn''t be able to flee. My intentions are to invite those two Immortal Kings to be our guests, then¡­" Tan Liang''s voice contained a hint of viciousness. As long as they got rid of the two Immortal Kings, things would be a lot easier. ¡­ "F*ck off!" Just as Mo Wuji brought Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong to the ruins, a cultivator urgently came and punched towards Mo Wuji, trying to blast away the obstructing Mo Wuji. But just as his punch approached Mo Wuji, it was caught within Mo Wuji''s palms. Thereafter, Mo Wuji sent a kick outwards and this cultivator was sent flying with fresh blood spurting out of his mouth. No one took notice of this. Now that the array had been blasted open, everyone was charging into the ruins in a frenzy; why would they notice such trivial matters. Mo Wuji had felt the Book of Luo''s aura a long time ago. Similarly, the others had also felt that aura. This ruins was in no way smaller than the one back in the third level. But because the aura of the Book of Luo was too distinct, almost everyone knew what direction to rush towards. Soon, the crowd gathered once more; everyone had stopped outside of a shrine. The shrine was being protected by an array, and outside of the shrine doors were the aged words - Luo God Shrine. The aura of the Book of Luo was seeping out from this shrine, however, one''s spiritual will could not penetrate in. "The Book of Luo is in this shrine, and there seems to be more than one¡­" "Let''s combined forces and attack it. This defensive array is far from the one outside." "How are we going to split the Book of Luo once we open the array?" ¡­ As everyone discussed, more and more people gathered. However, no one went to attack the array. "Big brother, these people just want to be waiting fishermen. [1]" At this instant, Dou Hualong''s injuries had completely healed, and with Mo Wuji by his side, he was free from all his worries. In his eyes, there was nothing that his big brother couldn''t solve. Before Mo Wuji could say anything, a cold voice resounded, "Make way, I will attack." The crowd naturally split and formed a path. Since someone had volunteered to attack the shrine''s array, they were busy celebrating. Who would be so foolish to block this fella''s way? The man walking to the front of the shrine was actually a youth. This youth looked simple and honest. His long hair had been tied into a bun; his eyes were big; his brows were thick; and his figure was tall and sturdy. Everyone only needed a single look to know that he was a rogue cultivator. "This person is truly too foolish. He''s too honest, to think that he actually volunteered to attack the array of the Luo God Shrine," Dou Hualong shook his head and said speechlessly. Su Rou''Er, however, said, "That might not necessarily be the case. You cannot always judge a book by its cover." Mo Wuji waved his hand, featuring for Dou Hualong and Su Rou''Er to stop talking. Since this youth dared to step forward to attack this shrine''s array by himself, he definitely wasn''t a fool like Dou Hualong describes him to be. Mo Wuji could clearly feel the thick immortal aura around this youth; he was an expert at the pinnacle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Moreover, this youth seemed very confident that he could snatch the Book of Luo away after blasting the array open. Because of this confidence, he took the initiative to attack the array. He definitely wasn''t an idiot. "Hualong, Rou''Er, the two of you retreat for now. I will also go and attack," Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say. Since a treasure like the Book of Luo was right in front of him, how could he simply let it get taken away. This blue robed youth seemed very confident, but he, Mo Wuji, also had the confidence that he could snatch the Book of Luo. This blue robed youth''s magic treasure was an ancient banner. Before that ancient banner was even raised up, thunderous rumbles started to reverberate through the air. A few seasoned cultivators retreated. Many of them could tell that this youth was not simple. Similarly, Mo Wuji also saw that this youth was not simple. Just when he was also about to take out his magic treasure, he discovered that this shrine''s array actually opened by itself. A gorgeous woman was standing in front of the Luo God Shrine. Her graceful immortal aura made her look like a fairy that could drift away with the wind at any moment. Mo Wuji instantly jolted; he knew this woman. Mo Wuji wasn''t the only one, everyone else were also stunned. No one expected that a woman would appear here, and she was already in the ancient shrine. It seems like this woman had already been in this shrine even before the Broken World''s fourth level opened. This white robed woman''s gaze swept across the crowd; her gaze seemed to linger on Mo Wuji for a few breaths of time before she said slowly, "Is everyone here to snatch my Book of Luo?" "The Book of Luo is a treasure of the Heaven and Earth. Since it has appeared in front of everyone, we would naturally compete for it fairly," An early stage Grand Luo Immortal did not hesitate to step forward to say; there was a hint of desire in his voice. It didn''t matter who this woman was, he had no fear. He was from a peak sect of Gods Immortal Domain. How could a strange and random woman deserve to have the Book of Luo more than him? So what if she was pretty? Was that enough to earn a living? Before this Grand Luo Immortal''s words could finish, the surrounding air instantly turned cold. Everyone subconsciously retreated as they saw a white light shoot out. This Grand Luo Immortal immediately felt a cold and deadly energy wrap around him. He desperately tried to retreat, but it seemed like the entire space around him had been frozen solid. And at the very next instant, a white silk cloth shot through his Mind Palace. He died at that very spot. "That was Zuo Lan''An..." A frightened murmur sounded within the crowd. Following which, everyone started to subconsciously retreat; that terrified voice only said a single name, but a majority of the crowd knew what he was going to say next. Zuo Lan''An was a disciple of one of Gods Immortal Domain''s most powerful sects, the God Moon Immortal School. Moreover, his personal power was also impressive. Such a powerful person didn''t even survive a single move of this woman''s; one could clearly see how terrifying this white robed woman was. At this moment, some of the weaker immortals had already started to retreat as they tried to leave. "Since you''re here, how could you all leave so easily?" The moment this white robed woman finished speaking, she rose both of her hands. Immediately, the entire sky above all of them was covered in white. All the cultivators could feel the air around them freezing; every step they took was difficult. Sharp light shot out like stretches of shining silk, and every time one was shot out, an aggrieved cry would be heard. In this short moment, more than a hundred immortal were killed. Only a few Grand Luo Immortal''s that used peak grade talismans had already escaped. "Boom!" This white robed woman''s silk attack bad finally been stopped. The crowd instantly felt the frozen space around them go loose and everyone anxiously fled. No one was willing to stay behind for even another breath of time. Soon, there were only four people left. Mo Wuji stood there, unmoving. By his side, Dou Hualong and Su Rou''Er were still there. "You''re not bad. You''re actually able to defend against my attack, and you even dispelled my frozen space." The white robed woman''s gaze landed on the youth that initially volunteered to Luo God Shrine''s array. "You''re not bad too. An Immortal King was actually able to enter the Broken World''s fourth level," This honest-looking youth didn''t even care about how impressive this white robed woman was. His tone remained cold as he continued, "Since the Book of Luo already has an owner, then I will forget about it. Farewell." With that, this honest-looking youth turned and left. The white robed woman sneered, "You still think you can leave?" "HAHAHA!" This honest-looking youth chuckled loudly, "If I, Meng Yinsan, wants to leave, even an Immortal Emperor can''t stop me. A mere Immortal King like you dares to stop me, Meng Yinsan? Try it if you dare." As he was speaking, Meng Yinsan''s figure flashed and he instantly disappeared. Meng Yinsan? Mo Wuji never thought that he would meet Meng Yinsan here. Even though they both didn''t know one another, Mo Wuji was very familiar with Meng Yinsan''s name. This fella was caught into Half Moon Prison, but he actually managed to kill the warden and escape. Just from this point alone, Mo Wuji was sure that this Meng Yinsan wasn''t a simple person. In his ring, there was still that introduction of Meng Yinsan written by the warden: "Meng Yinsan, Red Lightning Star earth-type cultivator. Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 3111, 14th day of the 6th month, ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. On the same day, he entered Yong Ying¡¯s 11th Prison, Half Moon Prison Room 31. Honest personality; Five Star Genius. Ever since he started cultivation, he took 196 years to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. During his time in Half Moon Prison, Meng Yinsan performed extremely well. He was well-behaved and not rebellious. On Yong Ying 845 Calendar, Year 3224, 2nd day of the 7th month, he formed a blood oath, forever willing¡­" There were no longer any words after that. Because it was at this point that the warden got murdered by Meng Yinsan. It was unknown whether this white robed woman believed Meng Yinsan''s words, or whether she had some other concerns, she actually didn''t chase after him. "Mo Wuji, long time no see. Life is so unpredictable; I never thought we would meet again in the Broken World. You are the only man that left me in regrets for many days. Thus, I won''t kill you, or the two beside you. Just take out the two pages of the Book of Luo that I gave you," This white robed woman said calmly as she stared at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s eyes turned cold; he didn''t think that Murong Xiangyu would be so shameless. The reason why she didn''t kill him was actually because he had previously left her feeling regret. As for his saving grace, this woman didn''t even mention a single word about it. Clearly, it wasn''t that she wasn''t willing to mention it, but that matter wasn''t even placed in her heart. The people from the emotionless sect were truly emotionless out and out. It was enough that she forgot his saving grace, but now she even wanted to take back the compensation she gave him for saving her - the two pages of the Book of Luo. If the previous Murong Xiangyu still had a bit of emotions, then this woman in front of him was completely ice cold. As for how Murong Xiangyu was able to recognise him, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t find it weird. Murong Xiangyu must have refined all her pages of the Book of Luo, and due to that, she seemed to be able to detect the aura of his page on him. [1] This is an adapted version of an idiom. The idiom talks about how a clam was fighting with a crane, and as they both end up injured, the fisherman was the one who benefits. Chapter 723: The Powerful Book Of Luo Chapter 723: The Powerful Book Of Luo Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "It''s indeed out of my expectations that you would advance into the Immortal King Stage in the fourth level of the Broken World. No wonder why no one caught you after you obtained the Book of Luo. I bet that you didn''t even leave, but somehow managed to enter the fourth level of the Broken World." Mo Wuji''s voice was very calm. If he still considered Murong Xiangyu as an old friend previously, now he only saw her as a complete stranger. Murong Xiangyu''s expression hardened. She said coldly, "That''s my business. My patience is limited. I advise you to return the two pages to be. Otherwise, don''t blame me if I turn hostile." [1] Mo Wuji chortled, "Murong Xiangyu, do you still have shame? [1] Why can''t I see it? Return the pages to you? If not for me, you wouldn''t even have seen the cover of the Book of Luo. After saving you, I helped you to retain the seven pages of the Book of Luo. That was already very magnanimous of me. If it was someone else, your bones would already have rotted by now. The two pages of the Book of Luo were your repayment for my help. And if you take a look from a different perspective, it wouldn''t even be too much if all seven pages were given to me. Today, you are actually asking me to return those two pages. Tell me, do you still have shame?" Mo Wuji wasn''t bluffing. If it was someone else, that person definitely wouldn''t have kept the Book of Luo. It was natural for Murong Xiangyu give the seven pages of the Book of Luo in exchange for Mo Wuji saving her life. However, Murong Xiangyu only gave two pages to Mo Wuji. That, in itself, was already too much. Now, she even wanted Mo Wuji to return the two pages to her. That was indeed very shameless. Of course, Mo Wuji didn''t save Murong Xiangyu for the Book of Luo. But if Murong Xiangyu hadn''t been so shameless, he wouldn''t have wagged that favour right in front of her face. Unfortunately, Murong Xiangyu didn''t have similar thoughts. She believed that it was only right for Mo Wuji to save her. After all, she believed she was the one that deserved to stand at the very peak and to be respected and revered by all. As for the two pages that she gave Mo Wuji, she only gave them away because she had been foolish back then. What''s wrong with asking for them back now? There was no need to talk about how she met Mo Wuji here. Even if they didn''t meet, she would go around searching for Mo Wuji and get him to return the Book of Luo. She clearer than anyone else about how amazing the Book of Luo was. If refining one page was 100 points, two pages would be 200 points, and three pages would be 400 points¡­ The increase in power compounded the more pages one had. Even though she was only an early stage Immortal King, she was sure that she could battle a late stage one. The reason for this confidence was that she had already refined the five pages of the Book of Luo. The Book of Luo was profound and its dao insights were as deep as the sea. Only she, Murong Xiangyu, deserved to use such a treasure. Previously, her cultivation was not the strongest but the Book of Luo still ended up in her hands. That meant that it was only right and proper that the Book of Luo should belong to her. "You''re courting death¡­" Murong Xiangyu finally ran out of patience. She lifted her hand and swept up a stretch of white, silky light. The silky light burst into thousands of ice cold shards which shot towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji swept his arm, sending Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong out of the battle area. Thereafter, he took out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. At this instant, he also flashed out his whirlpool domain. The moment his domain appeared, cracking sounds could be heard all over Murong Xiangyu''s frozen space domain. Mo Wuji''s Half Moon Weighted Halberd had already conjured his Winding River which cascaded heavily down towards Murong Xiangyu. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji had already treated Murong Xiangyu as a complete stranger. Even if he was facing a familiar person, he didn''t have the qualifications to hold back against Murong Xiangyu''s attack. When Murong Xiangyu felt her ice-cold domain shattering inch by inch, her heart was filled with shock. She was in the Immortal King Stage, and she possessed the unique ice-cold domain. Even if Mo Wuji was an Immortal King, he shouldn''t be able to shatter her domain with his own. But in reality, her domain really wasn''t worth mentioning in front of Mo Wuji''s. It was easily shredded by Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. Because she knew that Mo Wuji''s cultivation technique was peculiar and made it hard to discern his cultivation, she had thought that Mo Wuji was only a Grand Yi Immortal when she attacked. Actually, she was already viewing Mo Wuji highly when she treated him as a Grand Yi Immortal. After all, only a few years had passed. Not everyone could be like her and possess a treasure like the Book of Luo. Within the Book of Luo, there was a world. Not only could that world superpose space, it could also superpose time. She didn''t mere take a few years to reach the Immortal King Stage; she had used the lengthened time spent within the Book of Luo to reach this high cultivation. But from Mo Wuji''s power, how could he merely be a Grand Yi Immortal? He might even be more powerful than an average Immortal King. Murong Xiangyu didn''t dare to continue treating Mo Wuji like an ant. Both her hands formed countless of hand seals, and following which, a page of the Book of Luo appeared. The Book of Luo instantly transformed into a stone arch bridge. This stone bridge seemed like it wanted to completely consume Mo Wuji''s domain. Mo Wuji felt his domain being sucked away by the arch under the bridge, and at the very next instant, his domain began to shatter inch by inch. At this moment, Mo Wuji furiously circulated his immortal elemental energy. His Winding River halberd light began to shine with greater intensity as it cascaded down like a raging waterfall. The reason why his Winding River lost to Lei Hongji''s 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer wasn''t because Lei Hongji''s lightning-type sacred art was much stronger. It was because Lei Hongji''s 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer wasn''t merely a lightning-type sacred art, but also a power-type sacred art. His Winding River had not been perfected, which was why it was shredded by the power behind the 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. Thereafter, he was able to fight against the 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer with his Domain Smashing Fist. He didn''t understand about the Law of Power, nor did he have any power-type sacred art. However, his Domain Smashing Fist also carried the dao energy of power, which allowed it to have the same effects as the 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. Mo Wuji did not believe that Murong Xiangyu was like Lei Hongji, to have incomparably power or even possess a power-type sacred art. "Boom! Crack!" The Winding River cascaded down heavily onto Murong Xiangyu''s stone arch bridge. The stone arch bridge released a cracking sound as it shattered and disappeared. A scar extended down Murong Xiangyu''s forehead. Murong Xiangyu''s killing intent started to rise, "I was thinking why you would act so boldly. From the looks of it, you have also become an Immortal King. From the looks of it, you have also refined the Book of Luo and made use of the temporal laws inside. Since that''s the case, then die for me." Murong Xiangyu cried out angrily and a majestic and boundless pressure pressed down on Mo Wuji. Breathing became difficult. At this instant, Mo Wuji could feel as though his entire body had been enveloped by this majestic energy, and even his sea of consciousness started to slow down. This was the pressure of an ancient culture; the energy of a vast history. This was the innate sacred art of the Book of Luo. Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with anxiety. Under this pressure, he could not help but feel small and minute. He definitely couldn''t let this woman go on; Mo Wuji''s heart surged with killing intent. So what if she was an Immortal King with five pages of the Book of Luo? He was still going to kill her. His spirit storage channel and elemental storage channels began to circulate rapidly. Mo Wuji''s two hand slowly moved, his speed was much slower than Murong Xiangyu''s. An energy of life and death slowly emerged from his hands. This was Mo Wuji''s peak sacred art - the Wheel of Life and Death. The moment he used the Wheel of Life and Death, Mo Wuji had already prepared himself to die. If he let a person like Murong Xiangyu escape, then he would be bringing disaster onto Cen Shuyin. This was because one of his pages of the Book of Luo was with Cen Shuyin. It was exactly because of this that his killing intent began to rise sky high. The moment the energy from the Wheel of Life and Death seeped out, Murong Xiangyu felt it. Her body trembled slightly. She truly didn''t understand it, under the pressure of her five pages, how was Mo Wuji still able to resist? Moreover, the death energy shocked her. As she felt this death energy revolving around the two of them, she knew that one of them would definitely die. Murong Xiangyu started to hesitate. She was very clear that she wasn''t even able to display a ten thousandth of the power of the Book of Luo. If she died now, wouldn''t it all go to waste? The Book of Luo on Mo Wuji could be retrieved at any time. She didn''t believe that Mo Wuji''s cultivation speed was faster than hers. When she advances to the Immortal Reverent Stage, Mo Wuji would still be an Immortal King. She would get it back from Mo Wuji then. As she thought of this, Murong Xiangyu waved her hand, retrieving her five pages of the Book of Luo. At the next instant, her figure flashed and she disappeared without a trace. Unfortunately, she didn''t know that only Grand Luo Immortals and below could enter the fourth level of the Broken World, and that Mo Wuji wasn''t even in the Immortal King Stage. If she knew that Mo Wuji could fight her even with a lower cultivation, she might not have left today. Mo Wuji sighed. Even though he really wanted to kill Murong Xiangyu, he knew clearly that he wouldn''t be able to do so. It wasn''t a matter of capability, but a matter of magic treasures. If Murong Xiangyu didn''t have the five pages of the Book of Luo, he would still be able to kill her even though she was an Immortal King. However, those five pages were too strong, strong to the point where he wasn''t even able to resist. If Murong Xiangyu didn''t choose to escape, he might even be the one killed by his Wheel of Life and Death. Fortunately, he managed to learn many things from this battle. After some secluded training, he was sure he wouldn''t be suppressed by the Book of Luo again. "Big Brother, that woman''s cultivation rose really fast." Seeing Murong Xiangyu escape, Dou Hualong rushed over. He also knew of Murong Xiangyu, Su Rou''Er also walked over. She was much more knowledgeable than Dou Hualong; she could see that Mo Wuji would have been able to beat Murong Xiangyu easily if he had magic treasures comparable to hers. "Come, we will leave now. We can''t stay here for long," Mo Wuji said solemnly. His Dao was forged by himself. However, his Dao was still far from being perfect. During this visit to the fourth level, he had met several powerful rivals. There was no need to talk about the heaven defying Lei Hongji, even that Meng Yinsan wasn''t simple. There''s still the Immortal King Murong Xiangyu that possessed the five pages of the Book of Luo. ¡­ It was exactly as Mo Wuji predicted. When they left the fourth level, no one came to stop them. Even though there were many powerful spiritual wills that scanned them, they were only scanned briefly. Dou Hualong and Su Rou''Er finally heaved a sigh of relief when they left Sharphorn Immortal Ruins on Mo Wuji''s flying shuttle. "Hualong, I will be making a trip to Water Ying Immortal City. I will return the Red Karmic Fire Lotus when we return to the sect." Mo Wuji was worried that Dou Hualong wasn''t able to conceal the aura of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus and that someone would notice it. If they were discovered, then it would be very troublesome. Before Dou Hualong could even answer, Su Rou''Er said, "Senior Brother, Hualong is still a Golden Immortal. I believe that he would need to be in the Immortal King Stage for him to even be able to use the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Why don''t Senior Brother use the lotus first, in case you meet that woman again." Su Rou''Er did not treat Dou Hualong as an outsider. It was exactly because of that reason that she would say such words. [1] The author plays with words here. Turn hostile, if translated literally is flip face. On the other hand, shame is also face. Thus, when Murong Xiangyu says that she will ''flip face'' with Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji questions whether she even has a face to flip in the first place. Chapter 724: Cleaving Water Ying Immortal City Chapter 724: Cleaving Water Ying Immortal City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Right, right, Big Brother, my cultivation is so low, the Red Karmic Fire Lotus isn''t very useful for now. Big Brother can take it," Dou Hualong said hurriedly. In his eyes, he, Dou Hualong, would probably already be a decomposing corpse in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins if not for Mo Wuji. Moreover, he had originally intended to give the Red Karmic Fire Lotus to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji smiled, "These are two different matters. Hualong, you should have recognised Murong Xiangyu." "I naturally recognised her. That woman must be blind, to repay kindness with revenge. She''s simply trash." Dou Hualong had some understanding towards the relationship between Murong Xiangyu and Mo Wuji. It didn''t matter to him who Murong Xiangyu was, anyone that dared to attack his Big Brother Mo Wuji was his enemy. Mo Wuji said speechlessly, "Hualong, I''m not talking about her character. I am talking about how that woman got to be so powerful. This woman''s talent actually isn''t that high. From what I know, she''s merely a Six Star Genius. There are countless of geniuses with greater talent than hers; I''m sure that Lei Hongji''s talent is more than ten folds better than hers. And when it comes to cultivation technique, her Supreme Dao Sect''s technique is simply a trash among trash in my eyes. I have never seen a technique that could reach the Heavens by abandoning humanity. A few years ago, this woman''s cultivation was only at the Xuan Immortal Stage. But now, she is actually an Immortal King. Junior Sister Rou''Er''s talent is not bad, but she is only a Xuan Immortal. Tell me, why do you think Murong Xiangyu could get so powerful?" Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong both went silent. This was especially so for Dou Hualong; when he knew that Murong Xiangyu was an Immortal King, his jaws dropped in astonishment. Previously, Murong Xiangyu was merely a woman that could only bootlick the other geniuses. Her cultivation was not much higher than use back than. But in a short span of years, she actually advanced into the Immortal King Stage. "Is Big Brother saying that she had never left the Broken World? Could she have found a supreme treasure? Or perhaps a cultivation holyland?" Dou Hualong asked curiously. Mo Wuji shook his head, "With Murong Xiangyu''s talent, even if she found the best cultivation holyland, she wouldn''t be able to step into the Immortal King Stage in just a few years." "Then could she have been possessed?" Su Rou''Er was also very curious. She had the same thoughts as Dou Hualong; she thought that Murong Xiangyu had found some incredible treasures. Mo Wuji paused briefly before he said, "No, she definitely isn''t possessed. I suspect that she had already completely refined all five pages of the Book of Luo. It''s said that the Book of Luo contains a spatial world of its own. Since there''s space, I believe that there would also be time. When I gained enlightenment on the sacred art of Spatial Imprisonment, I also gained some understanding towards the Laws of Time. I suspect that the time within the Book of Luo might be faster; that means to say that the time she spent cultivating might even be ten times more than us. The reason why Murong Xiangyu was able to achieve all that was because she had been completely immersed within the Book of Luo; she had formed a profound understanding towards the laws within the Book of Luo. Hualong, every Xiantian treasure is not simple. The Red Karmic Fire Lotus is no less than the Book of Luo. Perhaps you might not be able to use it now, but if you slowly spend time researching on it, it would be much better for you to have it." "But¡­" Seeing that Dou Hualong still wanted to speak, Mo Wuji stopped him, "My Dao is forged by myself. My sacred arts are also formed based on my various understandings towards the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. But up till now, my arts are all very scattered and cannot be connected together. But when I advance to the Immortal King Stage, my various sacred arts would harmonise and my own Dao would reach a whole new level. By that time, even if Murong Xiangyu is even more powerful than she is now, she still wouldn''t be able to use the Book of Luo to suppress me. This is unless she obtains all the pages, but that''s basically impossible." Mo Wuji was very clear of his own Dao. The moment he stepped into the Immortal King Stage, his sacred arts would meet a harmonisation process. By that time, his power definitely wouldn''t be as simple as a mere Immortal King. It was also because of this that he wasn''t afraid of Murong Xiangyu. And to him, he could step into the Immortal King Stage at any moment. If not for Murong Xiangyu suppressing him with the five pages of the Book of Luo, he might have even tried breaking into the Immortal King Stage at the fourth level of the Broken World. The reason why Mo Wuji said all this was to tell Dou Hualong that he didn''t need the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. If he was the one that personally obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, then he would definitely use it. However, Dou Hualong was the one who found the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Moreover, he also didn''t want to depend too much on the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. "Yes, Big Brother, I understand." Dou Hualong understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji''s words. ¡­ One day later, the flying shuttle approached Water Ying Immortal City. "When the two of you left Water Ying Immortal City, did anything happen?" As they were approaching Water Ying Immortal City, Mo Wuji slowed his flying shuttle down. At this instant in Mo Wuji''s spiritual will, Water Ying Immortal City''s killing array had been completely activated and there were immortal elemental energy ripples in the city. Clearly, there was a battle within the city. "We only learnt that the castellan mansion was being surveilled. Nothing else," Su Rou''Er promptly replied. Mo Wuji stopped the flying shuttle and said solemnly, "There''s a battle within Water Ying Immortal City right now. It seems like someone is being trpped inside. I suspect that Wen Hou had tried to escape and the people monitoring him found out. The two of you wait for me outside. If anything urgent happens, immediately contact me with the communication bead. I will go into Water Ying Immortal City alone." "Big Brother, you have to be careful. Senior Sister Rou''Er said that the people surveilling Water Ying Immortal City were Immortal King experts." Dou Hualong was very confident in Mo Wuji, but he also knew that this big brother of his had yet to advance to the Immortal King Stage. "There''s no need to worry." With that, Mo Wuji passed the flying shuttle to Su Rou''Er. With a flash, his figure had already appeared outside of Water Ying Immortal City''s gate. He did not believe that every Immortal King had the same heaven defying luck like Murong Xiangyu. During his battle with Murong Xiangyu, he lost the initiative and he got suppressed by the Book of Luo. If he didn''t, he could have incited his Lightning Calamity. Thus, even if anyone here had the same luck as Murong Xiangyu, he could call forth his Lightning Calamity. He was sure that no ordinary Immortal King could handle his Immortal King Lightning Calamity. This was Mo Wuji''s first time coming to Water Ying Immortal City. In this first visit, he was already blocked by the city''s defensive and killing array. Water Ying Immortal City''s array was merely a Grade 5 immortal array. To Mo Wuji, this really wasn''t enough to daunt him. With his Half Moon Weighted Halberd out, he slashed down towards Water Ying Immortal City''s array. He could open this array within ten over breaths of time. However, directly breaking it was a much faster option. "Boom!" His halberd light descended with a force like lightning. With merely one strike, Water Ying Immortal City''s array had been cleaved in half. As the halberd light dispersed, Water Ying Immortal City''s array also shattered into pieces and disintegrated. ¡­ Water Ying Immortal City''s Castellan Mansion. Wen Hou was drenched in blood. There was a deep cut right at the center of his head. Just a bit more and his entire head would have been hacked in two. By his side, Tan Liang was already missing an arm. He sat on the ground, pale faced and paralysed. Wen Hou''s wife, Yan Qianling was also heavily injured. She had overexpanded her immortal elemental energy to the point where her hands were trembling. "Sorry, Wen Hou. My plan failed." Tan Liang''s voice was filled with melancholy. He had advanced to the Tier 5 Pill King level not long ago. Before he could aim for higher levels, he was going to perish here. Wen Hou''s eyes were filled with despair. If not for his protective arrays in his castellan mansion, they would already be taken in as lowly prisoners. Even so, how long more could they endure? "You can''t be blamed. Even I didn''t know that there was also another intermediate stage Immortal King besides the two late stage Immortal Kings." Just as Wen Hou swallowed a few healing pills, another blast could be heard against his mansion''s protective array. The protective array started emit ''Ka! Ka!" sounds. One could clearly see that the castellan mansion''s array wouldn''t last much longer. The moment the array breaks, only the most terrible fate would befall them. "Wen Hou, I will take my leave first." Yan Qianling''s eyes were also filed with despair. She knew better than anyone else about how horrible her fate would be if she was caught and brought to Yong Ying Immortal City. Wen Hou was just about to speak when he heard a loud explosion. At this instant, it seemed like the entire Water Ying Immortal City was trembling. The three glanced at one another. This was clearly an attack on Water Ying Immortal City''s array. Besides Kui Fengyun''s men, who would dare to attack Water Ying Immortal City''s protective array? Yan Qianling, who was originally going to commit suicide, charged towards the door. Wen Hou hurriedly grabbed her, "Are you trying to kill yourself!?" She could remain safe within their array. But if she left the mansion, she would merely be like a sheep offering itself to a tiger. "It must be Lianxi. I need to get her to leave." Yan Qianling cried out frantically. It was enough that she was going to die. However, Lianxi was their last hope. If Lianxi died too, then she, Yan Qianling, wouldn''t be able to rest in her grave. "It''s not Lianxi." Tan Liang struggled to stand up. "Lianxi definitely isn''t that powerful." Water Ying Immortal City''s protective array was a Grade 5 immortal array. Morever, Kui Fengyun had also sent an expert to install a Grade 5 killing array. Facing this sort of arrays, Wen Lianxi wouldn''t even be able to cause them to tremble even after attacking them consecutively for an entire day. Yan Qianling also slowly calmed down. She also knew that Wen Lianxi wouldn''t be able to shake this array., She heaved a sigh of relief, but then she asked doubtfully, "Then who would be here to save us?" Wen Hou sighed, "That person might not necessarily be here to save us. But regardless, this is good. The moment the Immortal Kings that are trapping us leave, we can escape." "Who are you? Why did you attack my Water Ying Immortal City''s protective array?" The moment Mo Wuji''s halberd destroyed the array, a short-haired Immortal King landed in front of him. Mo Wuji couldn''t even be bothered to reply. He slashed his halberd towards this late stage Immortal King. Chapter 725: Immortal King Chapter 725: Immortal King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When this Immortal King saw Mo Wuji attack him without any reason, he was instantly infuriated. He was an esteemed man of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. No one in the entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain had the rights to attack him without even explaining. Even if the other party was from a first-class sect, he should have given the Heavenly Emperor Palace some face. Moreover, this Immortal King was sure that his opponent wasn''t an Immortal Reverent. A mere Immortal King actually dared to behave so arrogantly in front of him. Little did he knew that Mo Wuji wasn''t even an Immortal King. A copper mirror appeared in front of him, gathering a huge beam of light which whizzed towards Mo Wuji. "Boom!" The Half Moon Weighted Halberd''s halberd light crashed against this mirror light. All the buildings around them were directly burned to the ground. Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness started to roll and billow. In that single exchange, he knew that his immortal elemental energy couldn''t compare to the other party. His opponent was at least a late stage Immortal King. Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, a emaciated old man charged over. "Wei Xing, come and help. This person is not simple, he might even be a half-step Immortal Reverent." The Immortal King that clashed with Mo Wuji discovered that Mo Wuji was far more powerful than an average Immortal King. In his eyes, Mo Wuji''s attack, and even Mo Wuji''s spiritual will, was stronger than his. It would be weird if Mo Wuji was anything else but a Great Circle Immortal King. This old man was also a late stage Immortal King. With his spiritual will, he discovered that there was also another intermediate stage Immortal King speeding over. In his hands, there were some array flags. Ostensibly, this fella was an array master and he wanted to mend this shattered array. Mo Wuji did not hold back as his whirlpool domain burst forth with full power. Just when this two Immortal Kings were within his domain, he shot a lightning bolt towards that intermediate stage Immortal King. At the same time, he retrieved three Draining Immortal King Pills and sent them into his mouth. His Immortal Mortal Technique circulated furiously as Mo Wuji prepared to charge into the Immortal King Stage. He was very clear that when facing three Immortal Kings, he wouldn''t be their match unless he also entered the Immortal King Stage. "Boom!" These two Immortal Kings tore Mo Wuji''s domain apart. One of them carried on to strike Mo Wuji with a spear light. Mo Wuji did not move, however. He continued to crazily draw in immortal spiritual energy. "This person wants to advance to the Immortal Reverent Stage, hurry and stop him¡­" When the intermediate stage Immortal King saw what Mo Wuji was doing, his heart will filled with both shock and rage. To think that there was a person that tried to advance to a new stage during a battle itself; this fella clearly didn''t know the meaning of the word ''Death''. "That''s not right. He isn''t advancing to the Immortal Reverent Stage, but Immortal King¡­" Feeling the dao energy gathering around Mo Wuji, that Immortal King changed his words. However, he only managed to say half of his sentence before he didn''t dare to continue any further. Addvance to the Immortal King Stage, how was that possible? A Grand Luo Immortal was able to defend against the attack of two Immortal Kings? That was simply a joke. "Pff!" The very first Immortal King''s mirror light condensed into a thick beam, breaking through Mo Wuji''s domain and slamming onto Mo Wuji''s chest. This mirror light was able to draw some blood. This scene immediately left this Immortal King slightly stunned. Logically, when his light beam landed on Mo Wuji, it should have pierced through Mo Wuji''s body. This would be the case even if Mo Wuji was an Immortal Reverent. Why did his light beam only manage to draw that bit of blood? Hurry and leave. This was the thought that ran through their minds. Since they weren''t able to kill Mo Wuji in that time, they couldn''t stay there any further. These two late stage Immortal Kings weren''t willing to be caught up in Mo Wuji''s Lightning Calamity. Mo Wuji''s main intention was to borrow the power of the Lightning Calamity to get rid of these Immortal Kings; so how could he simply let them go? His whirlpool domain began to sweep outwards with greater intensity, enveloping the two fleeing Immortal Kings. "Boom! Boom! Boomboom!" Thunder exploded in the sky. Ten bolts of lightning tore through the sky and descended downwards. Previously, Mo Wuji had already reached the gates towards the Immortal King Stage, and now that he had swallowed three Draining Immortal King Pills, his body became filled with violent immortal elemental energy which seemed capable of tearing his entire body apart. The gates to the Immortal King Stage were instantly blasted open and the Lightning Calamity instantly came crashing. Because of Mo Wuji''s attack, that intermediate stage Immortal King had also been drawn into the Lightning Calamity. The Lightning Calamity was a calamity for any immortal. Usually, no one dare to attack the person the person undergoing the tribulation. Because if you attacked, you would be locked on by the Lightning Calamity. It didn''t matter what your cultivation was, you would be seen as provoking the Lightning Calamity. Likewise, no one dared to invoke the Lightning Calamity during a battle. Because no matter how strong you are, you will be at your weakest after the calamity. At that time, even if your opponent was much weaker than you, he could still easily kill you. "What kind of Lightning Calamity is this?" The three Immortal Kings who were swept up into this were all stunned still. Even an Immortal Reverent Lightning Calamity would not beckon ten lightning bolts at a single go. Moreover, each lightning bolt was much thicker than the lightning bolts in an Immortal Reverent Lightning Calamity. "Pff! Pff! Pff!" Several mists of blood got blasted by the lightning bolts. Under this Lightning Calamity, these three Immortal Kings were like leaves floating in the wind. At this time, there was no need to talk about attacking Mo Wuji. The only thing they could do was to take out their defensive treasures and block against the savage lightning bolts. Mo Wuji was also shocked by the power of the Lightning Calamity. Previously, he intended to attack these three fellas the moment the Lightning Calamity descended. After all, he was at God Physique Level 6, he believed that this Immortal King Lightning Calamity wouldn''t be able to do anything. However, reality had left him speechless. Under his Lightning Calamity, even these three Immortal Kings could only barely defend themselves. Moreover, one must know that this was only the first round of lightning; the lightning would only continue to get more powerful. ¡­ Yan Qianling could feel a change in the atmosphere. Coupled with the deafening sounds of thunder, she asked doubtfully, "Wen Hou, why does it sound like someone is undergoing tribulation?" "Let''s go out and take a look. Perhaps this might be the only chance we have to escape," Wen Hou did not hesitate to say. The castellan mansion''s defensive array had been opened and the three hurriedly sped out. Water Ying Immortal City''s defensive array had already been split open by Mo Wuji. Thus, the moment Wen Hou and co. left the mansion, the three of them noticed the four people facing the Lightning Calamity through their spiritual will. Wen Hou celebrated, "Brother Tan, Qianling, this is truly a golden opportunity bestowed by the heavens. The killing array around Water Ying Immortal City had been broken, and those three Immortal Kings are being trapped by a Lightning Calamity. Let''s use this opportunity to escape." As he was speaking, Wen Hou had already taken out his flying treasure. Now that the defensive array had been broken, there was no longer any restrictions to flying treasures in the city. They could directly use the flying treasure to charge out of Water Ying Immortal City. Yan Qianling frowned and said, "Wen Hou, that person might have come to save us. If we use this opportunity to escape, aren''t we being too despicable?" Tan Liang had been observing the Lightning Calamity this whole time. At this moment, he said, "I understand. That person that came to save us should be an Immortal King. However, he might not have been a match for these three Immortal Kings, which is why he called on his Immortal Reverent Lightning Calamity and used it to trap the three people¡­" "This does not seem like an Immortal Reverent Lightning Calamity¡­" When Wen Hou saw the wild and never-ending slew of lightning bolts, he muttered in doubt. He had been through the Immortal King Lightning Calamity before; he could feel that the dao aura of this Lightning Calamity was similar to an Immortal King Lightning Calamity? But how could an Immortal King Lightning Calamity be so terrifying? If it was, then he would have died all those years ago. There was no need to talk about him. Perhaps only a few Grand Luo Immortals in the entire Immortal World could survive such an Immortal King Lightning Calamity. "The four are defending themselves against the Lightning Calamity. The person that came to help us does not seem to be in danger." Wen Hou did not know that Mo Wuji wasn''t actually defending against the Lightning Calamity. Instead, he was absorbing the lightning essence to stabilise his foundations of the Immortal King Stage, and at the same time, gain insights on his own Dao. This Lightning Calamity wasn''t even enough to help temper his physique sufficiently; so why would he need to defend against it? The people that were really defending against the Lightning Calamity were the three Immortal Kings that Mo Wuji drew in. "Then we will wait here. After this Lightning Calamity ends, we will help him," Yan Qianling said resolutely. "I am enough. Qianling, leave with Brother Liang." "Since you''re staying, then everyone will stay." Before Wen Hou could even finish, Tan Liang did not hesitate to reject Wen Hou''s suggestion. ¡­ Mo Wuji did not attack the three Immortal Kings. Instead, he sat among the lightning bolts with his eyes closed, attuning himself to the dao energy around him. At this instant, his cultivation was also rising constantly. At this instant, one sacred art after another began to appear in his mind and they started to perfect themselves. Ever since Mo Wuji forged his own path of meridian cultivation, he had never had such an experience like he was now; to have such a clear understanding of his own sacred arts and Dao. Many dao insights which were previously hazy also started to clear up at this instant. He felt his mind open up as a grand and majestic power condensed on his body. His rapidly expanding immortal elemental energy and spiritual will made it clear to him that his power was entering a whole new level. He slowly opened his eyes; his eyes were calm. As his cultivation grew, and as his insights deepened, Mo Wuji realised that he was so insignificant. The Lightning Calamity gradually dispersed, but Mo Wuji was clear that on this endless path of the Great Dao, he had only taken an additional step forward. "Who are you exactly?" After the Lightning Calamity ended, the three Immortal Kings, who seemed to have lost half their lives, stared at Mo Wuji in shock. The one that asked the question was the first late stage Immortal King that blocked him. "This Immortal Friend, we are from Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor Palace. I''m sure we all wish to simply mind our own business. How about we forget about our previous misunderstandings and each go our own way." The one speaking now was Wei Xing. He was also a late stage Immortal King and he was the second one that arrived. He had merely attacked Mo Wuji once and he was caught into the Lightning Calamity. The last Immortal King that had been dragged into the Lightning Calamity by Mo Wuji didn''t say anything. He only took out a few healing pills and placed them in his mouth. The three of them looked incomparably haggard. They had charred burns all over their bodies. After all, that Lightning Calamity was truly too terrifying. The three of them didn''t flee; it wasn''t because they didn''t want to, but they didn''t dare to. After that horrifying Lightning Calamity, the three of them seemed to have lost half of their lives. On the other hand, the person that incited the Lightning Calamity, Mo Wuji, looked perfectly fine without even a single injury on his body. Moreover, this was just a surface level reason. What left them even more fearful was that Mo Wuji was already very powerful before the tribulation. Now that the tribulation had ended, Mo Wuji had advanced by a whole level. In front of such an expert, the three of them truly didn''t dare to leave. Mo Wuji''s gaze swept across the three of them. He knew that the reason why they were still fine was because of him. To stabilize his cultivation, he had absorbed most of the lightning essence. This caused the threat of the Lightning Calamity to fall significantly. "Since Kui Fengyun sent the three of you here, he should be advancing to the Immortal Emperor Stage soon? Or did he already advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. Chapter 726: Pleading For Help Chapter 726: Pleading For Help Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Yes, the Heavenly Emperor has validated his Dao. We are here to send an invitation," Wei Xing said respectfully. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "So he''s also joined the ranks of Immortal Emperors¡­" After merely saying half a sentence, Mo Wuji''s halberd transformed into a half moon halberd light. The killing intent emanating from this halberd light instantly surrounded these three Immortal Kings. The moment Mo Wuji''s killing intent emerged, these three Immortal kings felt it. They immediately tried to escape. If Mo Wuji was still a Grand Luo Immortal, he could only tie one of them down. But now that he had advanced to the Immortal King Stage, his power had met with a qualitative change. As the halberd light slashed outwards, Mo Wuji also used Spatial Imprisonment to seal the space around them. In an instant, the three Immortal Kings were confined by Mo Wuji. Even though it was only for a breath''s time, this breath of enough for Mo Wuji to kill the three of them multiple times over. "Pff! Pff!" Two veils of bloodmist exploded; two storage rings fell in Mo Wuji''s hand. The surviving intermediate stage Immortal King stared blankly at the two lifeless corpses. These corpses no longer had their primordial spirits. After some time, he finally reacted and he uttered in a trembling voice, "Senior¡­" He did not think that Mo Wuji was unable to kill him. He was only still alive because Mo Wuji had mercy on him. "Give me your storage ring," Mo Wuji said indifferently. This intermediate stage Immortal King did not hesitate as he anxiously handed his ring over to Mo Wuji. After keeping all three rings, Mo Wuji said, "Do you want to know why I didn''t kill you? It''s because I need you to help me send a message to Kui Fengyun. I want to settle my debts with him, but I''m too lazy to go to Yong Ying Immortal Domain. Get him to find me in my territory. Remember, my territory is called Ping Fan, it''s a newly established immortal school." "Yes, yes, junior will definitely deliver this message," This Immortal King said hurriedly; he was worried that Mo Wuji would suddenly change his mind. "F*ck off then." Mo Wuji lifted his hand and kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. This Immortal King didn''t even dare to turn back as his figure flashed. Within the next instant, he had already disappeared from Water Ying Immortal Domain. To him, he was lucky that he was still alive. "Senior, many thanks for your saving grace." Seeing Mo Wuji easily kill two advanced Immortal Kings, even Wen Hou had some lingering fears. Him, Yan Qianling and Tan Liang hurriedly came forward to express their gratitude. Even though Wen Hou suspected that Mo Wuji had just gone through an Immortal King Lightning Calamity, he truly could not believe that one Immortal King was actually able to suppress three Immortal Kings. Moreover, that intermediate stage Immortal King that Mo Wuji let go had addressed Mo Wuji respectfully as ''Senior''. Mo Wuji reverted back to his original appearance, and he smiled, "Castellan Wen, Pill Master Tan, I am no senior." "Pill Master Mo¡­" Wen Hou and co. stared at Mo Wuji in aghast. They truly couldn''t get it in their heads that Mo Wuji had become so powerful. Even though they were being trapped in Water Ying Immortal City, they still knew of the incident of Mo Wuji being surrounded and attacked by several Grand Emperors. In reality, their family''s enmity with Kui Fengyun was also related to Mo Wuji. Back when Kui Fengyun''s Emperor Dao Fruit was snatched away by Mo Wuji, Kui Fengyun was helpless against Mo Wuji, so he could only vent his frustrations on them. "Long time no see," Mo Wuji laughed and said. "It''s really Pill Master Mo!" Tan Liang cried out in surprise. Immediately, he bowed once more, "Pill Master Mo, that''s not right, I should call you Pill Emperor Mo now. I, Tan Liang, have been able to become a Tier 5 Pill King, and that''s entirely because of your guidance. Today, Pill Emperor Mo has saved my life. This sort of favour can never be repaid in my Tan Liang''s entire life." Tan Liang was actually confused when he heard that Mo Wuji had managed to escape from those Grand Emperors. But after seeing Mo Wuji easily kill two advanced Immortal Kings, he could see that Mo Wuji was truly very powerful. Why would such a powerful immortal need the help of a mere late stage Grand Luo Immortal like him? Even though he could concoct pills, the other party was a Pill Emperor. He could only look hold a candle in Mo Wuji''s presence. "Senior Mo, many thanks for saving my family once again." Yan Qianling also walked over and bowed respectfully. Mo Wuji waved his hands and said, "Everyone doesn''t need to be so polite. I''m in the same generation as Lianxi. It''s better if everyone calls me by Pill Master Mo. I have just established an immortal school. If the few of you are willing, you can join my Ping Fan. Of course, even if you don''t join Ping Fan, you can stay in my territory. No matter how strong Kui Fengyun is, he wouldn''t dare to do anything against my immortal school." Mo Wuji wasn''t bragging when he said this. He had several Immortal Emperors in Ping Fan. Moreover, he estimated that Wei Zidao should have already stepped into the Grand Emperor Stage. With such might, Kui Fengyun would only be sending himself to death by going over. "Many thanks Sect Head Mo, we are willing to join Ping Fan," Wen Hou did not hesitate to say. He guessed that Mo Wuji established Ping Fan to go against Great Sword Path, Lightning Sect, and the other huge sects. However, he still chose to join Ping Fan. He was an advanced Immortal King, so he believed he should be of help to Mo Wuji. Wen Hou didn''t even bother thinking about the implications of joining the sect. Without Mo Wuji, his Wen Family would have already been rotting in their graves. So what was there to hesitate about? Mo Wuji chuckled, "Alright, let''s head back to Ping Fan." ¡­ When they heard Mo Wuji say that Ping Fan was in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, Wen Hou and co. sighed. Indeed, there were fewer available spaces left in the Immortal World. Besides Yong Ying Immortal Domain, where else could one establish a sect? Unfortunately, Yong Ying Immortal Domain had the space, but not the immortal spiritual energy. Among the seven Immortal Domains, Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s immortal spiritual energy was the thinnest. When Wen Hou and co. arrived outside of Ping Fan and saw the boundless agricultural land, they were dumbfounded. Was this an immortal sect, or a farming village? That''s not right, the immortal spiritual energy here seems even richer than Water Ying Immortal City, and those crops do not seem like ordinary crops... Unexpectedly, there were huge stretches of Thousand Fusing Rice. Oh, there was still more? Immortal Elemental Grass, True Bright Grass, Silver Ring Flower¡­ and there was even the Tier 4 Immortal Cedar. "This place¡­" Tan Liang muttered to himself; he suspected that they weren''t in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. If this was Yong Ying Immortal Domain, how could there be such a holyland filled with endless fields of immortal herbs? And why would it be left unclaimed for Mo Wuji to occupy? "Good words¡­" Wen Hou stared, transfixed, at the two words floating in the sky: Ping Fan. He felt that these two words contained some profound dao energy; it seemed to be the dao energy of all the ordinary things in the universe, but it also seems to contain the dao energy of something greater. At the very least, he wasn''t able to comprehend the dao from within these words. Mo Wuji smiled and he casually formed ten hand seals. The two floating words began to change. Not only that, the nine words in front of the sect also started to change. "One''s Dao can differ, but all Men are equal." Wen Hou silently reflected on these changing words. A sense of insignificance Ross in his heart. One must know that he didn''t even feel this insignificant in front of an Immortal Emperor. This meant that the Dao within these words had exceeded that of an Immortal Emperor''s. "This is Ping Fan. Everyone, let''s go in." Mo Wuji courteously extended his hands. Wen Hou''s reflection was not wrong. Only Mo Wuji knew that following his increase in cultivation, the dao aura within those eleven words continued to change. Now, he still needed to insert his insights of the Immortal Mortal Technique into these words, but that would have to wait till his capabilities take another step forward. That way, he didn''t need to return to the sect for these words to continuously change along with his increase in cultivation. If his Dao transcended this part of the world one day, then these words would also exceed this part of the world. In the Immortal World, there were countless of people stronger than Mo Wuji. However, the number of people who could encompass their own Dao into these words like Mo Wuji were few, or even zero. This was because he was the one who forged his own Dao. These eleven words were his legacy. "What rich immortal spiritual energy." Yan Qianling looked at Mo Wuji curiously. She had basically explored the entire Yong Ying Immortal Domain, and the Extreme Glade Sea had one of the thinnest immortal spiritual energy. Where did this rich immortal spiritual energy come from? The immortal spiritual energy was still within their reason, but the sheer richness of the immortal spiritual energy within the sect itself was simply beyond imagination. "Sect Head!" Su Zi''An had immediately come to welcome Mo Wuji. By Su Zi''An''s side, there was a young man. This young man only had an intermediate Immortal King Stage cultivation. "Jiao Chang greets Sect Head Mo." Seeing Mo Wuji, this young man took the initiative to bow towards Mo Wuji. Before Mo Wuji could ask anything, Su Zi''An hurriedly explained, "Sect Head, this is Jiao Chang. Back when I went to the Cape of Peace, he was the one who saved me." Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding. Back then, Su Zi''An had been attacked by an expert when he went to the Cape of Peace, and he almost lost his life. He heard that an Immortal King was the one who sent him back. However, as Mo Wuji heard that the Immortal King left after sending Su Zi''An back, he didn''t expect the Immortal King to return back to Ping Fan. "I know you. Many thanks for sending Elder Su back. Do you know where Brother Zhuo is?" Mo Wuji hurriedly returned the courtesy. "Jiao Chang earnestly pleads Sect Head Mo to help my master," Jiao Chang bowed and said when he heard Mo Wuji''s question. His tone contained a hint of expectation. "You''re Brother Zhuo''s disciple?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Jiao Chang hurriedly said, "Master looks down on my stupidity; so he only accepted me as a named disciple." "Sect Head, Jiao Chang has been here for many days. He brought a message from Senior Zhuo," Su Zi''An hurriedly explained. Mo Wuji didn''t immediately ask Jiao Chang about the message. He knew that such matters shouldn''t be discussed here. Thus, he first introduced Wen Hou and co., then he continued to introduce Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong. "Su Rou''Er greets Senior Uncle Su. My master often talks about you¡­" When she saw Tian Ji Sect''s Su Zi''An, Su Rou''Er''s eyes turned red. Tears almost seemed to burst out from her eyes. "I know you. You are Yu Jie''s disciple. I didn''t think that you were still alive, ah¡­" When Su Zi''An got reminded of his destroyed Tian Ji Sect, his heart felt waves of pain. Chapter 727: Very High Heaven’s Convenation Order Chapter 727: Very High Heaven¡¯s Convenation Order Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Sensing the gloomy atmosphere, Wen Hou hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Elder Su, I''ve long heard of your great name. I didn''t think that I would meet Elder Su here at Ping Fan. It''s truly an honor." Mo Wuji had just introduced Su Zi''An to Wen Hou, it was just what Su Zi''An didn''t recognise Wen Hou. No matter how bad Tian Ji Sect was, it was still a sect, and he, Su Zi''An, was the sect''s Grand Elder. On the other hand, Wen Hou might be a castellan, but he was the castellan of a low grade immortal city in the worst Immortal Domain. Mo Wuji said, "Let''s forget about the past. This time, after Right Protector Wei comes out from his seclusion, we will go cause a ruckus at the Great Sword Path. Zi''An, you''re in charge of helping Wen Hou and co. settle down. From now on, Wen Hou will be our Ping Fan''s Mortal District Deacon." "Yes, sect head," Su Zi''An promptly responded. Wen Hou sighed emotionally in his heart. He was very clear about Su Zi''An''s status; Su Zi''An was a late stage Immortal Reverent and was also the Grand Elder of Tian Ji Sect. Now, he actually ended up in Mo Wuji''s sect. Coupled with the fact that the immortal spiritual energy over Ping Fan was so rich, this place is simply a dao holyland. Mo Wuji, himself, was even a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. One could clearly imagine that Ping Fan would definitely shock the world. This sort of holyland would definitely become packed with people. Him being able to enter Ping Fan at this time, and even get the position of a deacon, was truly due to his daughter Lianxi. She managed to befriend a heaven defying existence like Mo Wuji. "Zi''An, is Senior Sister Qingru out of seclusion?" Mo Wuji asked another question. Back when they were establishing the sect, Han Qingru left halfway after closing an immortal mountain. Mo Wuji had gone to visit her many times to no avail. Mo Wuji was very clear that this was due to him. While they were in Sword Prison, he might not have clearly rejected Han Qingru, but he also didn''t respond properly to her words. Moreover, after leaving Sword Prison, he had never mentioned that topic. Han Qingru was a girl after all; she naturally had her own intentions. She must have had her own thoughts when she chose to enter seclusion; it might not necessarily be because she wanted to avoid him. "Not yet." Su Zi''An had some slight inkling towards the relationship between Han Qingru and Mo Wuji; so he didn''t want to say much. Mo Wuji retrieved a storage ring and passed it Su Zi''An, "Zi''An, if Qingru comes out of seclusion and I''m not in the sect, help me pass this ring to her." "Yes." Su Zi''An accepted the ring. He hesitated for a brief moment before he continued, "Sect Head, if you''re going off to aid Senior Zhuo, I feel that it''s better to wait for Right Protector Wei to come out of seclusion first?" Su Zi''An was worried that Mo Wuji''s cultivation was too low; even a Grand Emperor like Zhuo Pingan could not handle the danger. Thus, he didn''t really want Mo Wuji to go and face the danger alone. If anything happens to Mo Wuji, then Ping Fan, this great place, might fail. If not for the saving grace of that named disciple of Zhuo Pingan''s, he would have directly advised his sect head to not go at all. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "There''s no need to worry. After I leave, this place will be left to you. When Right Protector Wei comes out of seclusion, tell him this: If anyone or any power dares to trespass our Ping Fan, then kill them all." Ping Fan had just been established and had yet to attain a reputation; thus, the number of people trying to seek some gains from them were little. But the moment Ping Fan becomes well-known, many powers would swarm towards them like bloodthirsty wolves. They had to be vicious and merciless towards these people; only then, could Ping Fan grow and flourish. On the other hand, Mo Wuji wasn''t too worried about his own safety. Even against a Grand Emperor, he believed that he had the chance to escape. There was no need to talk about his God Physique Level 6. In reality, when he advanced to the Immortal King Stage, his understanding towards the Wind Escape Technique had rose by another level. Even though he had never used it, Mo Wuji felt that he had reached the fringe of Wind Teleportation. He did not believe that he would be surrounded by multiple Grand Emperors again. And even if he was, with his God Physique and his Wind Teleportation, he should be able to escape with his life. And even if he was heavily injured, he only needed a single breath for him to pull through and survive. "I understand." Su Zi''An answered. He was very aware of the reason Tian Ji Sect had been destroyed. It wasn''t because of their lack of power, but because of their lack of resolution. If not for that, the Great Sword Path definitely couldn''t have simply exterminated them on a whim. Moreover, the person that called for their destruction was a mere Immortal Reverent of the Great Sword Path. Ping Fan had sufficient power, but if it cowered against threats like Tian Ji Sect had, then it didn''t need others to come and destroy it, it eventually collapse by itself. ¡­ After Su Zi''An left with Wen Hou and co., Mo Wuji brought Jiao Chang to the quiet Guest Reception Room. "Immortal Friend Jiao, what happened to Brother Zhuo? Please explain in detail." Mo Wuji was very sure that a person that could pose a threat to Zhuo Pingan definitely wasn''t someone that he could face head-on. Even though Jiao Chang felt that Mo Wuji seemed overly ordinary, he recalled his master''s esteem towards Mo Wuji, as well as Mo Wuji''s position as the sect head of a big sect. This caused Jiao Chang to have some expectations towards Mo Wuji. "Back then, the Great Sword Path''s Yi Minghu and Lightning Sects Lei Guyun joined hands and attacked my master. My master was heavily injured and tried to escape, but the two of them continued chasing after him. During that time, an Immortal Reverent called Huang Sha was with them. After my master fled, Huang Sha directly went ahead to destroy the entire Cape of Peace. No one in the Cape of Peace was able to escape his evil hands; they were all killed¡­" "How did you know of this? How did you escape?" Mo Wuji knew that Huang Sha was a vicious and bloodthirsty person; it was definitely possible that he killed all the innocent people in the Cape of Peace. The Cape of Peace had also been a safe abode in the Immortal World. Usually, cultivators that made it to the Cape of Peace would find safety there. They would never have thought that they would all be killed by Huang Sha. This Huang Sha was truly a vicious person. As Mo Wuji thought of this, he wondered whether Gai Guangyi and co. would be fine. Jiao Chang explained, "Because I am master''s named disciple, I took the initiative to guard the protective array gate at the bottom of the sea. At the same time, my cultivation technique was suitable to cultivate while under the sea. Because there was a monitoring array, I was able to see everything that happened in the Cape of Peace clearly. When he heard this, Mo Wuji had a new hint of appreciation towards Jiao Chang. Zhuo Pingan had only accepted Jiao Chang as a disciple in name, but Jiao Chang actually treated Zhuo Pingan as a real master. Not only did he volunteer to stay under the sea for a protracted amount of time to protect the array foundation, he had been searching for ways to save Zhuo Pingan. If it was any other cultivatior, they would probably have found an opportunity to escape. There was no wonder why he could save Su Zi''An. When Su Zi''An arrived, Jiao Chang was probably still under the sea waiting for an opportunity. "Continue speaking." Mo Wuji nodded, acknowledging Jiao Chang''s explanation. "After Huang Sha left, I saved Senior Su, who had came to find my master. My master frequently tells me that the person most worth befriending is you, Sect Head Mo. When I heard that you were the one that asked Senior Su to find master, I sent Senior Su back here. Then, I went to search for master." At this point, Jiao Chang''s voice became filled with concern, "My master had left behind some tracks. I continued to follow the tracks till they disappeared. But at that point, there was no longer any other marks to look out for. Back then, my master told me this: If anything happened to this, only one person is willing to save him¡­" Jiao Chang didn''t continue any further; he only looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Mo Wuji stood up, "I''m indebted to Brother Zhuo''s favour. Immortal Friend Jiao, take me to where your master''s tracks disappeared. I will go take a look." Before Jiao Chang got to reply, Fei Ling''s voice sounded by the door, "Sect Head, the Very High Heavens sent an order to convene." Very High Heavens? Mo Wuji was slightly at a loss. How long was it since he established Ping Fan? How were they related to the Very High Heavens? What''s the meaning of this order to convene? "Congratulations on stepping into the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage," Mo Wuji opened the door and said to Fei Ling. "Many thanks Sect Head. If I wasn''t following Sect Head, I don''t know how many more years it would take for me to reach this stage," Fei Ling said elatedly. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. Without Mo Wuji''s help, he really wouldn''t have reached the late Immortal Reverent Stage so quickly, even if he was no longer in Sword Prison. Moreover, without Mo Wuji, he wouldn''t have been able to escape Sword Prison. "What does it say on the Very High Heaven''s order to convene?" Mo Wuji asked. Fei Ling answered, "The Very High Heavens requests for the sect heads of every sect in the seven Immortal Domains to convene at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins one month from now. Everyone would gather to discuss an important matter." Mo Wuji frowned; he had never cared much about the Very High Heavens. However, he knew that now wasn''t the time to create a conflict with the Very High Heavens. "How''s Right Protector Wei''s seclusion?" After some contemplation, Mo Wuji decided that it was still better for him to go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. After all, the Very High Heavens were truly too powerful. The various Immortal Domains had their own leaders, but the Very High Heavens were the rulers of all seven Immortal Domains. There was no need to talk about how Ping Fan was just a newly established sect. Even the number one sect in the seven Immortal Domains wouldn''t dare to antagonise the Very High Heavens. If he dared to rebel against the Very High Heavens, then he would be the target of extermination. "Many thanks Sect Head, I have successfully advanced into the Grand Emperor Stage." Wei Zidao''s chuckle could be heard. Glee and happiness could be heard in his voice. "Congratulations Right Protector Wei." Mo Wuji was also elated. Wei Zidao''s advancement was a huge matter for Ping Fan. Fei Ling also hurriedly bowed, "Congratulations Right Protector Wei for advancing to the Grand Emperor Stage." Now that they had a Grand Emperor, Mo Wuji finally felt that Ping Fan had a proper foothold in the Immortal World. He looked at Fei Ling and asked, "Were there any other requests in the Very High Heaven''s order?" "No. It only said that each sect head could only bring one elder and two disciples to take part in the meeting," Fei Ling said respectfully. "Alright. Right Protector Wei, prepare yourself. I will first make a trip to the Cape of Peace. If there''s still time when I return, we will go and destroy the Great Sword Path before heading to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. If there''s not enough time, then we will go to Sharphorn Immortal Ruins first before coming back to destroy the Great Sword Path," Mo Wuji decided promptly. The proclamation of destroying a huge sect sounded like a natural course of action when it came out of Mo Wuji''s mouth. Chapter 728: Desire To Wipe Out The Great Sword Path Chapter 728: Desire To Wipe Out The Great Sword Path Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Numerous days later, Mo Wuji came to a halt near the Great Desolate Sea Domain after following Jiao Chang''s lead. "My master disappeared here and no matter what methods I used, I wasn''t able find any clues of my master''s whereabouts," Jiao Chang pointed to the piece of vast sea in front of him as he said worryingly. Mo Wuji fell silent at this familiar scene. Previously, he and Han Long met husband and wife Wu Ben here at the Great Desolate Sea Domain. When he was about to kill Gou Wuyu, Kuang Benhou shared a secret in exchange for Gou Wuyu''s life and that secret was the untold path to leave the Immortal World. This untold path was right here within the Great Desolate Sea Domain and it was not very far from his current location. Now that Zhuo Pingan had disappeared here, it could be that he used that path to leave the Immortal World. In fact, even Mo Wuji had made plans to escape using this path if he had offended too many experts. However, Mo Wuji had too many matters in the Immortal World which he had yet to settle and too many concerns which was why he couldn''t leave just like that. Zhuo Pingan was his friend so if it was possible, he would be willing to exhaust a large amount of energy to rescue him. The only problem was that now, he needed to leave the Immortal World to an unknown place to rescue Zhuo Pingan without the guarantee that he could return. Mo Wuji simply wasn''t able to do this because he had yet to meet Cen Shuyin again and he still had no news of Yan''Er so how could he just leave the Immortal World like that? "Immortal Friend Jiao, I am well aware of this place. If we go further in from here, even I am not strong enough to survive now. Only when I further advanced into the next realm will I be able to search for Brother Zhuo," Mo Wuji explained honestly. Despite not pointing out that this was the path to leave the Immortal World, he told Jiao Chang tactfully that he was unable to help now. Jiao Chang''s eyes turned dark because he was just trying his luck when he decided to look for Mo Wuji. The truth was that he didn''t believe Mo Wuji would actually be able to rescue his master and had just done his best to maintain that glimmer of hope. Mo Wuji''s words were right because further down would be the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain. Within the depths of the Great Desolate Sea Domain were the existence of peak grade immortal beasts and if one was not careful, one could be trapped by multiple immortal beasts. What he didn''t know was that Mo Wuji wasn''t talking about the beasts but the path to leave the Immortal World. "Many thanks Sect Head," Even if he knew that Mo Wuji was unable to help, Jiao Chang was still thankful that Mo Wuji made this trip. "If Immortal Friend Jiao doesn''t mind, you can cultivate at my Ping Fan," Mo Wuji was still feeling slightly apologetic because he would come back here one day but just not now. Jiao Chang clasped his fists once more, "Many thanks Sect Head Mo but I am intending to wander around the Immortal World first and perhaps there would come a day where I have nowhere else to go. If that day really comes, I might seek shelter from Sect Head Mo again." Jiao Chang indirectly rejected Ping Fan''s invitation as he left immediately after bidding goodbye to Mo Wuji. ¡­ Six days later, Mo Wuji returned to Ping Fan Immortal School. After handing the Red Karmic Fire Lotus back to Dou Hualong, he immediately called Wei Zidao and Su Zi''An over. He didn''t spend much time trying to find Zhuo Pingan because if Zhuo Pingan really left the Immortal World, continue finding him would simply be a waste of time. "Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan are not out yet?" The first thing Mo Wuji asked was about the two other Immortal Emperors when he saw Wei Zidao and Su Zi''An walking over. Wei Zidao had been patiently waiting for Mo Wuji to return and if it wasn''t because Mo Wuji had matters to settle first, he would have went over to finish the Great Sword Path alone. Back then, the Great Sword Path killed his dao companion, snatched his dao venue and even threw him into the Sword Prison. He would never forget his deep enmity with the Great Sword Path. "Mingcheng came out and was now in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage while Nie Chongan still requires a little while more," Wei Zidao replied swiftly. While Wei Zidao was speaking, Jian Mingcheng, Lu Ming and Fei Ling walked hurriedly into the meeting hall together with the newly joined Wen Hou. Jian Mingcheng''s energy was exuding vibrantly as he had indeed stepped into the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. "Great, Right Defender Wei, Mingcheng, Elder Cha Rui, Fei Ling and Lu Ming shall follow me to the Great Sword Path. Matters of Ping Fan shall be handed to Zi''An," Mo Wuji knew that their schedule was slightly tight so he decided to finish off the Great Sword Path now. Su Zi''An stood up instantly, "Sect Head, I am fine with not being involved in anything else but the Great Sword Path exterminated my Tian Ji Sect so I will always have a bump in my heart if I don''t go." Mo Wuji knew that Su Zi''An had been brooding over the Great Sword Path exterminating Tian Ji Sect and now that Ping Fan had emerged abruptly, he wouldn''t want to miss the chance to obliterate the Great Sword Path. Mo Wuji''s eyes fell on Fei Ling and before Mo Wuji could speak, Fei Ling took the initiative and said, "Sect Head, I have to be involved in the oblireratation of the Great Sword Path. If I don''t avenge myself, I will always have a shadow in my heart just like Senior Brother Su." "Since this was the case, Ping Fan shall be temporary left under the charge of Wen Hou. After we obliterate the Great Sword Path, Zi''An would take over from Wen Hou," This was Mo Wuji''s only option left. "Yes, I, Wen Hou, would definitely not let anything happen to the immortal school," Wen Hou acknowledged his responsibility respectfully. Having been at Ping Fan for merely ten days, Wen Hou''s heart was in a perilous situation. When he first entered Ping Fan, he was only amazed at the boundless field of immortal herbs, great density of immortal energy, immortals here and how mortals were treated equally here. Now that he had witnessed the strength of Ping Fan, he was truly stunned and concurrently, he understood why Mo Wuji wouldn''t be fearful of Kui Fengyun. Even if Kui Fengyun had become an Immortal Emperor, he was only able to strut around Wen Hou because if he dared to visit Ping Fan, he would simply be courting death. Knowing how mighty Ping Fan was just increased Wen Hou''s admiration and respect for Mo Wuji. The pity was that Mo Wuji didn''t accept his wife suggestion of marrying Wen Lianxi back then. Otherwise, this Sect Head Mo would have been his son-in-law. "Sect Head, we must not underestimate the Great Sword Path. They have at least three Immortal Emperors and besides Grand Emperor Yi Minghu, I know of the Supreme Elder whose cultivation level should be around the intermediate or advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. There is also a youth called Feng Jian who became an Immortal Emperor just before I was thrown into the Sword Prison," Jian Mingcheng maintained rational even though he was just as desperate to obliterate the Great Sword Path. Mo Wuji nodded his head, "Mingcheng is right but we don''t have to worry. I know that Yi Minghu and Lei Guyun went out to chase after Zhuo Pingan so if I am not wrong, these two shouldn''t return anytime soon. This meant that we would have the advantage in terms of overall strength." If the path at the Great Desolate Sea Domain really did appear and Zhuo Pingan fled into it, there was no reason why Yi Minghu and Lei Guyun would not follow in if they were hot on Zhuo Pingan''s heels. "Sect Head, how could you leave me, Nie Chongan, out of the opportunity to obliterate the Great Sword Path?" Nie Chongan''s pleasant voice could be heard which was followed by mighty energy swarming into the meeting hall. Nie Chongan had just entered the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage and the dao spirituality around him had yet to be absorbed fully. Mo Wuji stood up pleasingly, "With the inclusion of Chongan, we would definitely win this battle. Let''s go, we shall go to the Great Sword Path now." ¡­ Great Sword Path, Luo Ling Immortal Domain''s peak grade sect. If one were to choose top ten peak grade immortal sects in Luo Ling Immortal Domain, the Great Sword Path would definitely be in it. If one had to choose the top five, the Great Sword Path would still be in it. The sword cultivation of the Great Sword Path would allow one to easily defeat one''s opponent in the same stage which was why their reputation in the Luo Ling Immortal Domain would be so great. This was Mo Wuji''s second time here at the Great Sword Path and the first time he was here, he looked for Yi Jiangu to enter the Sword Prison intentionally. This time round, he came to obliterate the Great Sword Path. As he stood outside the protecting array of the Great Sword Path, Mo Wuji sighed at the sight of the myriad ambience of the great sword mountains. "When I first came here, I would have killed everyone here if I wasn''t injured," Wei Zidao stood beside Mo Wuji and said vengefully. "I can''t believe such a majestic immortal sect would hide so many dirty and despicable secrets," Su Zi''An clenched his fist tightly. The Tian Ji Sect was accused and wrongly exterminated by the Great Sword Path which was basically the reason why Su Zi''An was unable to find peace within himself. Mo Wuji said faintly, "Regardless of whether this immortal sect had a majestic aura or not, the Great Sword Path will no longer be in existence after today." At the thought of how he was plotted against Yi Minghu and how Da Huang was brutally killed, the killing intent within Mo Wuji started surging intensely again. Back when Da Huang was killed, he swore to obliterate the Great Sword Path, Lightning Sect and the Vast Ocean Immortal School. The day he was finally able to avenge Da Huang had finally arrived. Mo Wuji raised his hand to retrieve a jade table before taking out Da Huang''s imitation equipment spirit as he placed it in the middle of the table. Following which, he used seals to protect the jade table before saying, "Da Huang, you shall personally witness how I avenge you today." Once he said this, Mo Wuji turned to the crowd of people with sharp killing intents forming around them as he said, "Everyone here was harmed by the Great Sword Path and are now members of Ping Fan. Before we obliterate the Great Sword Path, I shall nag slightly more. No matter which immortal sect, we have to do things with a clear conscious and not bully anyone smaller. This was also Ping Fan''s objective. The Great Sword Path in front of us is a fine example of what we, Ping Fan, must never become in the future. Remember this: To achieve the Dao, we must help! Cultivation involved both sacred art and character." Everyone''s heart was coldly obscured and even Wei Zidao and Jian Mingcheng remained speechless. Mo Wuji''s words were too real because no matter how strong or egoisitic the Great Sword Path was, they were about to be obliterated by a newly established Ping Fan. Would the Great Sword Path suffer this fate if they hadn''t offended so many people in the past? Who would know if there would be anyone that could exterminate Ping Fan in the future? Therefore, when we cultivate our dao, we have to cultivate our character too. "Sect Head Mo, I have been waiting so long for you and the day had finally arrived. Hahaha," A loud laughter could be heard and a skinny looking man walked over with his fists clasps towards Mo Wuji. "Bai Ye? Why? Are you going to stand up for the Great Sword Path?" Wei Zidao was the most unhappy with this fella because Bai Ye plotted against him when he was at his weakest condition. Mo Wuji shook his head to stop Wei Zidao from speaking as he looked at Bai Ye, "Immortal Friend Bai, you are proficient in prophecy so I am guessing that you came here to wait for us to join the attack against the Great Sword Path right?" "Sect Head Mo is indeed bright because that''s right, how can I miss out on my revenge against the Great Sword Path? My only constraint was that I am weak alone so I could only wait and fortunately, Sect Head Mo truly didn''t disappoint me," Bai Ye''s tone was respectful because he had suffered the brute of Mo Wuji and if it wasn''t for Mo Wuji''s mercy, he would have been dead. Even after coming out of the Sword Prison, he could only let his injuries recover and had yet to step into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. The truth was that he was able to step into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage a long time ago but because of the mighty force of Mo Wuji''s attacks, he could only linger around the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Therefore, he would still have lingering fears in front of Mo Wuji. Chapter 729: The Great Sword Path’s Arrogance Chapter 729: The Great Sword Path¡¯s Arrogance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji stared at Bai Ye and even though he didn''t possess the Dao of Prophecy, Mo Wuji suspected that Bai Ye had a hidden motive. It was true that Bai Ye had great enmity with the Great Sword Path but Mo Wuji found it suspicious that Bai Ye would wait for them to come over before joining hands against the Great Sword Path. Mo Wuji knew how cautious and scheming Bai Ye was so if he knew that Ping Fan Immortal School was going to fight the Great Sword Path for him, he definitely wouldn''t join the force. He would at most watch the show by the side and act only against those few loose fish which escaped the net. Moreover, he would only need a while more before being able to advance to become an advanced Immortal Emperor. Even if he wanted to be part of this revenge mission, he wouldn''t have done it while he had yet to advance into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. Therefore, Bai Ye sudden inclusion did seem slightly odd. "Alright, Immortal Friend Bai shall join us against the Great Sword Path. Naturally, there is something which I want to state beforehand. The moment a Grand Emperor of the Great Sword Path stepped out, I would like to request for Immortal Friend Bai to not intervene," Mo Wuji didn''t know what Bai Ye was planning but regardless, Bai Ye would not help the Great Sword Path which meant that his inclusion would only increase their overall strength. "Of course! During this obliteration of the Great Sword Path, I, Bai Ye, shall only follow the lead of Sect Head Mo," Bai Ye made his promise without any shreds of hesitation. He wasn''t completely aware of Mo Wuji''s strength but he was certain that Mo Wuji was a God Physique tempering expert. At the thought of how Mo Wuji was able to enter the Sword Qi River and even protected the whole group of them in and out of the Sword Qi River, there would be a mountain in his heart which he could never transcend. "Who is trying to be all sneaky around my Great Sword Path? If you don''t scram in three breaths time, I will kill and behead everyone there without exception," Mo Wuji and co.''s presence outside the Great Sword Path had finally attracted the attention of the Great Sword Path''s cultivator. "Immortal Friend Bai, let''s attack," Mo Wuji said faintly. "Alright," Bai Ye took a step forward and a hand blade appeared in his hand. Before this Grand Luo Immortal could react, he was cleaved into two by Bai Ye''s blade radiance. Following which, Bai Ye drew out his own eight trigrams disc as it clashed against the Great Sword Path''s protecting array. Mo Wuji instantly transmitted a message to Wei Zidao and co. that once the Great Sword Path had been obliterated, the first thing we retrieved would be the Great Sword Path''s ancient books and records, immortal veins, warehouse and the immortal herbs garden. Besides these, there was still one more important point and that was the need to bring away all the immortal mountains of the Great Sword Path so that Bai Ye would not be able to take advantage of the situation. As a great immortal sect which had existed in the Immortal World for countless of years, the Great Sword Path must have contained many important pieces of information and secrets. Ping Fan had just been established and even though it had infused Heaven and Earth dao energy in their immortal energy foundation, Ping Fan itself didn''t contain much information or treasures. Now that they were going to obliterate the Great Sword Path, it would naturally be to increase Ping Fan''s store of information. Following Bai Ye''s attack, Mo Wuji threw out tens of array flags as he shouted, "Everyone attack with me!" Mo Wuji was a Grade 7 immortal array master so under his guidance, no matter how strong the Great Sword Path''s protecting array was, it wouldn''t be able to handle the combined attack of four Immortal Emperors, Quasi-Emperor and Immortal Reverents. Seconds later, cracking sounds could be heard from the Great Sword Path''s protecting array. A few tears appeared in the air and despite not seeing anything visible in front of them, everyone knew that the Great Sword Path''s protecting array was being torn apart. Cha Rui''s warcry could be heard all across the Great Sword Path and it was followed by countless of bright lights flashing out. The tearing protecting array stopped splitting apart as it started to recover itself. "Everyone continue attacking, this is simply the array master of the Great Sword Path using their immortal veins to reinforce their array. After I settle some matters, I will handle this," Mo Wuji finished his piece and jumped right out as he threw out array flag. He had actually forgotten a very important matter and that was to install a spatial restriction before they started exterminating the Great Sword Path. He had to seal off all kinds of transfer pathway from the Great Sword Path so as to prevent any of their cultivators to escape by means of flying. Since he made the decision to obliterate them, he had to wipe out the entire sect cleanly. Every cultivator in the Great Sword Path was instantly astonished as they would never have expected anybody to dare attack the Great Sword Path at its own ground. Everyone only realised that someone was actually attacking the sect when the code red was sounded off. If any other average immortal sect was under attack, the immortals would feel fear, terror and the urge to leave as soon as possible. On the contrary, immortals of the Great Sword Path''s first reaction was not to run but excitement. Yes, they were truly excited. The Great Sword Path honoured its sword cultivation and its ideology was to always move forward and never back down. The Great Sword Path left a sword qi dao spirituality in all their mountains to tell their cultivators: Sword Dao is the dao of killing. Once the sword is wielded, no mercy shall be shown. The true essence of the Sword Dao would be to let all their opponent turned into their soul and plead under the wrath of their sword. In the Great Sword Path, there is room only for the strong. Sword, the first of all weapons so how could the user bend his head and think about escaping? "Sect Head He, let us kill our way out. Since when did our Great Sword Path rely on repairing our protecting arrays to defend against incoming attacks?" A young man carrying an iron sword on his back walked over to the side of a grey robe elder as he spoke with a slightly disrespectful tone. This grey robe elder was called He Qianling, the substitute sect head after the departure of Yi Minghu. At this moment, he was working with another elder to repair the protecting array of the Great Sword Path. The young man with a disrespectful tone was called Gong Liangye. He had a handsome face, sharp brows, bright eyes and a decent built. However, he was well known for the iron sword he carried on his back instead of his good looks in the Great Sword Path. To Gong Liangye, instead of taking pride in his good looks, he took pride in his talent, strength as well as the iron sword in his back. In the Great Sword Path, everyone considered him as a peak grade talent only behind Fang Shijiang and Huang Sha. However, this was not what Gong Liangye thought because he had always believed that he was the number one genius in the Great Sword Path. The only reason why he wasn''t as reputable and famous as Fang Shijiang and Huang Sha was because he never went out to propagate his name around the Immortal World. This was unlike Huang Sha and Fang Shijiang who had always been flaunting their names outside. Moreover, he was much younger than Fang Shijiang and was already in the intermediate Immortal King Stage. Today, there was actually someone who dared to offend the Great Sword Path so openly which meant that this was Gong Liangye''s time to flaunt his strength. Today, he would kill out a river flowing with his enemies blood before heading down to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins to meet the other geniuses. "Shut up!" The long bearded man currently repairing the protecting array shouted furiously at Gong Liangye. Gong Liangye was extremely displeased but he knew who the person shouting at him was. Great Sword Path''s Supreme Elder Wan Chuan, a Quasi-Emperor expert who was also the Great Sword Path''s number one immortal array master. In the Great Sword Path, Wan Chuan''s status was very high and was only behind a few Immortal Emperors. In fact, his status was even higher than the temporary Sect Head He Qianling. This was why when he was faced with Wan Chuan''s reprimand, Gong Liangye could only hold back his rage and explained, "Supreme Elder Wan, ever since the Great Sword Path was established, who have we feared? Ever since we embarked on cultivating the Sword Dao, we pride ourselves in our sword and people fear us for our sword. Could it be that because the sect head had left the sect, our guts and courage were gone with him?" Wan Chuan took in a few breaths before throwing out a few more array flags as he stared coldly at Gong Liangye, "Gong Liangye, I know you are one of the few peak grade experts of the Great Sword Path. Given your strength, even the slightly weaker Immortal Reverents would not be able to deal with you." As Gong Liangye heard this, he stood proudly because there was no need for him to remain humble. Wan Chuan was speaking the truth because he was indeed capable of finishing off the average Immortal Reverents. This was his triumph card and the Great Sword Path''s triumph card. "However, do you know who are the people out there?" Wan Chuan seemed to breathe out all his pent up frustrations as he said everything under one breath. "No matter who it is, there is only the word ''death'' for anyone who dared to offend the Great Sword Path," Gong Liangye said proudly as he didn''t like to cower. "Hahaha¡­" Wan Chuan laughed at Gong Liangye''s ignorant arrogance as he pointed at Gong Liangye without saying anything. After a few breaths, he finally calmed himself as he said, "The person attacking us is called Mo Wuji and he brought¡­" Before Wan Chuang could mention that Mo Wuji brought a few Immortal Emperors with him, Gong Liangye simply said cooly, "Even if the Heavenly King [1] was here and since he dared to provoke my Great Sword Path, I would never back down even if it means death for me." "Alright, alright, alright¡­" Wan Chuan was so angry he stopped repairing the protecting array as he replied, "Many years ago, this Mo Wuji was encircled by Sect Head Yi, Lei Guyun, Jin Yusheng and Kuang Xing. If you''re as strong as you claimed to be, go and deal with him then." "Elder Wan really thought too highly of me. I am merely an intermediate Immortal King yet you want me to deal with a Grand Emperor," Gong Liangye had always been in either closed doors or their own secret realm so he naturally wouldn''t have heard about Mo Wuji. To him, a person who could escape from the encirclement of four Immortal Emperors had to be a Grand Emperor. "Wrong, not only was Mo Wuji not a Grand Emperor, I doubt he had even reached the Immortal King Stage yet. Even if his progress was insanely fast, I suspect that he would have just stepped into the Immortal King Stage. Back then, he made use of methods to escape the surround of the four experts and also sacrificed a Grand Emperor-like immortal puppet," Wan Chuan''s tone was icy because without his help to repair the protecting array, He Qianling was doing all the work and he could barely prevent it from splitting open. "Alright, let me, Gong Liangye, handle this," Hearing that Mo Wuji was merely an Immortal King, Gong Liangye responded without any hesitation. He was the Immortal King of the Great Sword Path and if he was afraid of another Immortal King, he should just kill himself. ¡­ Mo Wuji landed and his heart heaved a sigh of relief because when he was setting up the restrictions, nobody tried to leave and this was not something he expected. What Mo Wuji didn''t know was that there were simply too many proud cultivators like Gong Liangye in the Great Sword Path. With their swords in their hands, these people fear nothing at all. The truth was also that everytime people hear of the arrival of cultivators of the Great Sword Dao, they would hurry to make way. In the long run, it became an attitude of the Great Sword Path cultivator to look down on everyone. If it wasn''t for the fact that temporary Sect Head He Qianling and Elder Wan Chuan had been sealing up the grand array, some of them might have already charged out to fight. "Sect Head, someone is constantly repairing the protecting array and I doubt we can break through any time soon," Wei Zidao sounded out the moment he saw Mo Wuji landing. Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, "You guys stand back, let me do it." [1]: In ancient China, there are four Heavenly Kings who are the Buddhist protective deities. Chapter 730: Genius Immortal Kings Duel Chapter 730: Genius Immortal Kings Duel Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This protective array was indeed very strong and could almost be classified as a Grade 9 array. However, it had already suffered significant damage which made Mo Wuji confident that as long as he could strike using his halberd on the array foundation at the right time, it would instantly break apart. Even if Wei Zidao and co. were of much higher cultivation level than himself, he believed that he was the only one who could find the array foundation accurately. Mo Wuji opened his palm to grab his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Bai Ye, who was standing to the side of Mo Wuji, saw the halberd and could feel the chill down his spine as he subconsciously took two steps back. Back then, his body was cleaved into two by Mo Wuji''s halberd and if not for Mo Wuji''s mercy, how would he have lived till today? As he stared hard at a deep tear on the Great Sword Dao''s protective array, Mo Wuji took in a deep breath as a heaven splitting energy surrounded Mo Wuji''s body. At this moment, even Grand Emperor Wei Zidao took a few steps back cautiously. Previously when Mo Wuju attacked Bai Ye, he was one who saw everything clearly. Presently, Mo Wuji had condensed similar kind of energy and Wei Zidao instantly knew that Mo Wuji was at least ten times stronger than before. Being powerful was one matter but more importantly, Mo Wuji''s dao spirituality rose rapidly yet again. This was to the extent that even Wei Zidao was no longer able to tell what Mo Wuji''s style of fight. At the same time, he was also aware that Mo Wuji had yet to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage or even the Immortal Reverent Stage. Despite so, Wei Zidao didn''t believe that in a solo battle with Mo Wuji, he would be able to hold Mo Wuji back. To him, Sect Head Mo was simply way too mysterious because who would have ever thought of entering the Sword Qi River? Only Sect Head Mo could and would. Sect Head Mo was not only able to enter the Sword Qi River, he could even bring a group of people to enter it and eventually leaving the Sword Prison. Wei Zidao was certain that even if he could win Sect Head Mo, he wouldn''t be able to hold him back. All these told Wei Zidao that Mo Wuji was terrifying only because he had yet to enter the Immortal Reverent Stage. If Mo Wuji did all these while being at the Immortal Emperor Stage, it wouldn''t be that terrifying. If Mo Wuji was already this formidable even before stepping into the Immortal Emperor Stage, who would actually be a match for him once he advanced to become an Immortal Emperor? Wei Zidao never had his doubts as to whether a person like Mo Wuji would be able to realise his Immortal Emperor Dao. Without mentioning that Wei Zidao was a member of Ping Fan, he would try his best to avoid a person like Mo Wuji even if he wasn''t in Ping Fan. Mo Wuji''s energy had been condensed to the pinnacle as he swung his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. A visible ripple was condensed out from space without any world-shaking explosion, aura or even heaven splitting killing intent. Mo Wuji simply drew out a plain and simple ripple but once everyone''s spiritual will landed on that particular ripple, everyone''s spiritual will was all swallowed by it. "Boom!" Moments later, this ripple suddenly dispersed to form a heaven splitting Halberd Radiance Heavenly Chasm. This Halberd Radiance Heavenly Chasm appeared like it was germinating as it grew dramatically to rip everything around it apart in a short period of time. "Kacha!" The Great Sword Path''s protecting array was instantly lacerated and a 300 metres long halberd radiance gorge appeared in front of everyone. It extended from underneath the people''s legs to within the Great Sword Path. At this moment, the Great Sword Path looked like a young lady having her clothes stripped off as she lay down in front of everyone. The entire scene fell silent as everyone watched the 300 metres long Halberd Radiance Remnant Chasm in shock. One side of the Remnant Chasm was the countless of Great Sword Path cultivators while the other side was the cultivators of Ping Fan who were prepared to charge in anytime they were told to. The Remnant Chasm really did look like it was germinating as it continued growing to rip everything apart. A few weaker cultivators of the Great Sword Path came too close to the Remnant Chasm and were instantly torn apart by the continuously expanding Halberd Radiance Remnant Chasm. The originally arrogant and confident disciples of the Great Sword Path were instantaneously demoralised by Mo Wuji one strike of the halberd. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath because this was the sacred art, Remnant Chasm, which he managed to enlighten when he was back in the Gods Heavenly Chasm. He had only used this sacred art once because he hadn''t completed the whole enlightenment of it. After advancing to become an Immortal King, his ability to gain insights to all his sacred art increased by one more level as he finally managed to execute this sacred art successfully. Bai Ye shivered as he was even more fearful of Mo Wuji now. He knew that Mo Wuji''s cultivation level was lower than him and even if he had one million guts now, he still wouldn''t dare to act against Mo Wuji. "Kill!" Wei Zidao was the first person to react to the situation as his eyes left the Remnant Chasm before stepping right into the Great Sword Path''s sect with billions of killing radiance readied to be shot out. Wei Zidao acted so everyone else from Ping Fan rushed in too. Even though Ping Fan was outnumbered, Ping Fan had three Immortal Emperors and if Bai Ye was included, there would be four Immortal Emperors on their side. Deputy Sect Head He Qianling was slaughtered in the first instance by Bai Ye. "Who dares to act so arrogant here in my Great Sword Path?" An enraged voice was heard and split second later, a white bearded elder descended. Behind the elder was a young man carrying a long sword on his back. "The two people who just arrived are the Great Sword Path''s Supreme Elder Gui Jiancang who looked like an advanced Immortal Emperor as well as the young man called Feng Jian. Feng Jian had just advanced to become an Immortal Emperor recently and he was said to be exceptionally outstanding," Jian Mingcheng explained without wasting any time. Mo Wuji said on the spot, "Bai Ye, go and stop Feng Jian. Wei Zidao, you will deal with Gui Jiancang. After killing Gui Jiancang, help Bai Ye deal with Feng Jian. Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan, go ahead and slaughter every Quasi-Emperors and Immortal Reverents here." There might be a lot of innocent parties here but since they were born in the Great Sword Path, Mo Wuji wouldn''t show any mercy. Chopping the grass without eliminating the root was not something Mo Wuji would do. Returning good for evil was something Mo Wuji could never comprehend. At the thought of how Da Huang was destroyed and how Han Qingru was only left with bones in the Sword Prison, there was an unknown fury growing exponentially inside him. As for his encirclement by the Immortal Emperors back then was in fact, something of less importance to him. "You are Mo Wuji? Even if my Great Sword Path was exterminated today, I will kill you first," Gong Liangye was also astonished at Mo Wuji''s halberd strike but Mo Wuji''s age made him certain that Mo Wuji was definitely not an Immortal Reverent. As long as Mo Wuji was not an Immortal Reverent, he wouldn''t mean much in Gong Liangye''s eyes. Gong Liangye noticed that the Great Sword Path''s likelihood of winning this war wasn''t as high as his ambition because the Great Sword Path only had two Immortal Emperors around while the opponent had four. "Screw off," Why would Mo Wuji have the time to bother about Gong Liangye because his mind was preoccupied with getting hold of the Great Sword Path''s scriptures library and vast amount of resources. Years ago, the Great Sword Path destroyed Da Huang and almost killed Han Qingru and himself so if Mo Wuji merely destroyed the sect and not collect interest, even Mo Wuji would feel that he had let himself down. Who was Gong Liangye? Mo Wuji didn''t even put him to heart because he simply wouldn''t bother about anyone below the Immortal Reverent Stage. The Half Moon Weighted Halberd casually swung out a halberd shadow as Mo Wuji followed it with a punch. The halberd shadow looked terrifying but it wasn''t Mo Wuji''s killer move because his killer move was the Domain Crushing Fist that followed closely behind that halberd shadow. To Mo Wuji, this fist would be able to injure the opponent and when he tried to leave, the halberd radiance would return to take away Gong Liangye''s small life. Gong Liangye was the same as he didn''t regard Mo Wuji at all. In his eyes, any Immortal Kings were basically ants and even though he was also in the Immortal King Stage, he believed that his Immortal King Stage was evidently different from others. The iron sword was drawn as it produced a pitch black sword radiance. In the entire Great Sword Path, only Gong Liangye''s sword radiance was black. It wasn''t because of a different technique which Gong Liangye used but because of his iron sword. "Ka!" The black sword radiance clashed against the halberd radiance as it exploded midair. The chilly sharp halberd radiance''s killing intent penetrated Gong Liangye''s domain which created fear in his heart. He knew that he had belittle Mo Wuji. According to his experience from his consistent killing method, his iron sword would shoot out black coloured sword qi towards Mo Wuji any time now. However, at this moment, he didn''t dare to do so. He retracted his iron sword as it transformed into circles and circles of sword qi barrier. "Boom!" The Domain Crushing Fist landed on the iron sword barrier and it was instantly dispersed. Gong Liangye spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot as he hurried to take a few steps back. Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks because he anticipated Gong Liangye to be utterly defeated and then he could finish him off easily. However, this did not happen. "I can''t believe that in the Great Sword Path, there was still an Immortal King like Huang Sha. You are pretty decent and since this is the case, swallow one more strike of my halberd!" This time round, Mo Wuji didn''t hold back as his whirlpool domain surged out insanely as his halberd turned into the Winding River descending upon Gong Liangye. He used a sacred art because Mo Wuji didn''t wish to waste any more time against a strong and mighty Immortal King like Gong Liangye. Gong Liangye''s heart froze because he truly believed that there was no more Immortal King in the entire Immortal World who could be his match. Today, he met an Immortal King who could crush him so easily. Could he have been the frog in a well all these time? Experts outside were all this strong? Even before Gong Liangye could regain his composure, Mo Wuji''s halberd swept up yet again as it turned into a Winding River. Gong Liangye controlled his immortal energy forcefully and just as he wanted to release his black sword, he could feel himself being drawn into a whirlpool quagmire. Gong Liangye instantly understood that his opponent was strong not just because of his sacred art but also because of this frightening whirlpool domain. One could imagine that if he couldn''t set himself free of this whirlpool domain, he would be cleaved into two by that descending Winding River. Gong Liangye burned his immortal energy frantically as his sword qi tried to overpower the whirlpool domain by turning into circles and circles of sword qi domain around his body. "Boom!" The two domains exploded against each other and Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain was finally blocked. Gong Liangye didn''t manage to catch a breath as his iron sword produced a cracking sound. The sword screen which his iron sword transformed to be had been torn apart by Mo Wuji''s Winding River as the Winding River continued descending right onto Gong Liangye''s head. Darkness rushed forth towards him and Gong Liangye''s heart suddenly grew sorrowful. He had actually lost to an Immortal King and even died in his hands. "You are half a step into the Immortal Reverent Stage right?" Gong Liangye couldn''t help but to ask as he laid down with one side of his body. "No, I have only just advanced to become an Immortal King about less than a month ago¡­" Mo Wuji saw that Gong Liangye was about to die so he answered honestly. Gong Liangye''s eyes turned dark very quickly as he died with much regrets. Right before his death, he understood that he was simply not strong enough and that it wasn''t because there was too huge a gap between Mo Wuji and himself. It was because he lacked the experience of fighting with immortals. Massacring in his secret realm didn''t mean as much as he would have expected. Mo Wuji reached out his hand to retrieved Gong Liangye''s storage ring and iron sword. He used his spiritual will to scan the surrounding subconsciously only to realise surprisingly that Bai Ye had disappeared during this short period of time. Chapter 731: Bai Ye’s Motive Chapter 731: Bai Ye¡¯s Motive Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The person battling Feng Jian was now Jian Mingcheng and Ping Fan didn''t seem to have the advantage anymore. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood why the sword dao was so proud of itself because this fella''s sword dao was indeed very strong. Wei Zidao was an Immortal Emperor and had been roughen up in the Sword Prison for such long period of time but currently, he was still struggling with that Gui Jiancang and didn''t seem to have the upperhand in the battle. Similarly, Jian Mingcheng, who was in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage and had tempered his physique, was still unable to take advantage of Feng Jian in their battle. One must know that Feng Jian was merely an elementary Immortal Emperor only. Fortunately, Mo Wuji still had one more intermediate Immortal Emperor Nie Chongan with him. In actual fact, it was more fortunate that Yi Minghu wasn''t around because this plan to obliterate the Great Sword Path would be a joke if Yi Minghu was still in the Great Sword Path. Ping Fan was still lacking in information and while Mo Wuji''s heart was fuming at the thought of that despicable Bai Ye, his Immortal King domain had already started expanding outwards uncontrollably. To break the balance of the fight in favour of Ping Fan, Mo Wuji knew that he had to act fast. After his domain was expanded outwards, Mo Wuji opened his palm to shoot out lightning webs while his halberd radiance had already exploded towards the countless of Immortal Reverents and Quasi-Emperors surrounding Nie Chongan. Nie Chongan was in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage and it should be a simple task to kill all the Quasi-Emperors of the Great Sword Path. However, these countless of Quasi-Emperors and top grade Immortal Reverents had grouped together to form a sword formation which purpose was to trap Nie Chongan. The pity was that the b*stard Bai Ye had left because if he hadn''t left, they would have been gathering the corpses of these puny disciples of the Great Sword Path. The one person holding the upper hand in their fight was Cha Rui. Cha Rui was a Quasi-Emperor and he was up against Immortal Kings and Immortal Reverents which would explain his slightly more favourable situation. Even the advanced Immortal Reverent Fei Ling and Su Zi''An were not gaining the upper hand in their fights. The originally difficult fights for each individual were instantly turned around when Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain got involved. As they watched countless of lightning webs descending upon them, cultivators of the Great Sword Path who were below the Immortal King Stage were basically helpless to resist or defend themselves. Following which, Mo Wuji drew out a mysterious spatial vestige which charged towards Feng Jian in an attempt to trap him before throwing out a fist. Initially, Feng Jian and Jian Mingcheng were evenly matched while Mo Wuji''s strength was still far off Feng Jian. However, while Feng Jian and Jian Mingcheng were fighting each other, Mo Wuji suddenly attacked Feng Jian with a spatial imprisonment before his Domain Crushing Fist and Feng Jian could instantly feel the pressure on him. Mo Wuji''s spatial imprisonment wasn''t even able to restrain Feng Jian for a breath worth of time and even his fist was easily fended off by Feng Jian. However, this distraction was enough for Jian Mingcheng because while Feng Jian was defending himself from Mo Wuji''s Domain Crushing Fist, Jian Mingcheng''s Nine Faced Pumpkin was finally able to tear Feng Jian''s domain apart as it landed right onto Feng Jian''s forehead. Even if Feng Jian''s head was considered pretty sturdy, it was still smashed broken by the Nine Faced Pumpkin. Feng Jian''s primordial spirit instantly spilled over and was ready to escape. Mo Wuji had already been waiting on one side as he shot out his thick lightning net which directly destroyed Feng Jian''s primordial spirit. Even if he wasn''t able to defeat an Immortal Emperor like Feng Jian, his lightning sword was the ultimate weapon against primordial spirit. "Mingcheng, finish off the remaining ants scrambling around and then go and help Right Defender Wei," Mo Wuji abruptly helped him win the battle, left a message and then disappeared in a flash. He had wasted too much time and he really didn''t want to let Bai Ye get his way. In just a few moments, Mo Wuji landed on the periphery of the Great Sword Path''s main mountain scripture library. Fortunately, the seals around the scripture library had yet to suffer any damage which meant that Bai Ye didn''t come here for this. Mo Wuji didn''t touch the scripture library immediately as he grabbed out tens of array flags to set up an additional protecting array around the library before leaving further into the depths of the sect. Usually, the scripture library of a sect would be placed in the strictest and most protected place and despite knowing that he was in the territory of the Great Sword Path, Mo Wuji wasn''t willing to spare Bai Ye too much time just because Mo Wuji wanted to keep the library for himself. Once he reached the hall of the Great Sword Path, Mo Wuji raised his hand to draw out multiple mysterious looking veined patterns. A blurry shadow appeared in the space in front of him and it flashed off towards one direction. Mo Wuji was secretly cursing at the old fox Bai Ye to think that he would remove every trace which was left behind as he fled. If it wasn''t for the fact that he controlled spatial runes, was an immortal array master and even possessed his own understanding of the heaven and earth dao, he wouldn''t even be able to sense that blurry trace today. ¡­ Mo Wuji managed to kill Feng Jian before leaving and this flipped the tide of the war around. Jian Mingcheng rushed into the sword array and the sword array instantly vanished. He fought hand in hand with Nie Chongan and in front of two intermediate Immortal Emperors without their sword array, all the remaining Quasi-Emperors and Immortal Reverents were basically not any different from ants. The Great Sword Path was indeed strong but there would always be a limit. They simply couldn''t expect an Quasi-Emperor to be able to fight against an intermediate Immortal Emperor. Everyone who came for revenge was once tortured inhumanely by the Great Sword Path in the form of the Sword Prison so now that they had their opportunity presented in front of them, why would any of them bother showing any mercy? After the balance had been broken in their favour, all that was left to do was to slaughter to their hearts'' content. When all the cultivators of the Great Sword Path below the Immortal Emperor Stage had been killed, no matter how good Gui Jiancang was, he wouldn''t be able to survive the encirclement of three Immortal Emperors. The Great Sword Path had already been sealed off by Mo Wuji so Kui Jiancang could forget about leaving as well. "Mingcheng, you and Chongan shall go and collect the Great Sword Path''s scripture library and also some of the immortal herbs immediately. I will be collecting the various immortal mountains here. The remaining of Ping Fan disciples will take instructions from Zi''An to raze the entire Great Sword Path and take whatever we can bring away," Wei Zidao knew that speed was essential because once other sects heard about this, it would turn into a huge trouble for them. Once the Great Sword Path was brought to its knees, people might spread rumours but who would still dare to find trouble with Ping Fan? ¡­ The Great Sword Path was so vast and after chasing for over two hours, Mo Wuji finally saw the figure of Bai Ye on an underground stone steps of the Great Sword Mountain. Bai Ye had been removing his traces as he escaped but what he didn''t know was that Mo Wuji self created his own dao so no matter how hard he tried to erase the traces, he wouldn''t be able to shake Mo Wuji off his heels. In fact, even if Mo Wuji''s spiritual will from his spirit storage channel were to appear around his body, Bai Ye wouldn''t even find out about it. The stone steps of the Great Sword Mountain was extremely long and Mo Wuji scanned through it briefly. He estimated that there were about 9000 over steps in total. Bai Ye seemed to have come here before as he made his way past the steps in the fastest possible way and landed in front of a massive stone gate. Once he reached here, Bai Ye heaved a sigh of relief and actually retrieved a key from his storage ring before inserting the key into the keyhole of the stone gate. The stone gate let out ''kakaka'' sound as it slowly opened up. Two fist sized night illumination pearls shone brightly on a not very big stone hall. In the centre of the stone hall was an offering platform. There were seals all around the offering platform and the item the seals were protecting was an ordinary looking longsword. Because of the seals around it, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was unable to seep through it. Bai Ye turned and was about to close the stone gate before he stared shockingly with his mouth wide open at the sight of Mo Wuji standing at the stone gate. He couldn''t wrap his head around how and when Mo Wuji followed him in. "Pa pa!" Mo Wuji clapped his hands twice before saying, "Bai Ye, you are truly the best at planning. Handing the cultivators of the Great Sword Path to member of my Ping Fan so that you can reap the good things here. We take the blow of the calamity for you so that you can get rich? Good, you''re simply too good!" Bai Ye looked awkwardly at Mo Wuji and laughed, "Sect Head Mo must not misunderstand me. Because Sect Head Mo brought people to exterminate the Great Sword Path¡­" "So you want to thank me? And hand me that sword? But you didn''t want me to know first because you''re planning to give me a surprise? Is that right?" Mo Wuji maintained a smile as he said all these and also prepared himself for a fight. Bai Ye had yet to recover yet he risked his life and pride in search for this sword so it must definitely be not simple at all. "Ah¡­" Bai Ye murmured the ''ah'' and started to be self conflicted. If it was any other item, he would have given it willingly without second thoughts but this sword was not just any other item. He also didn''t dare to act against Mo Wuji because the shadow Mo Wuji gave him before was simply too insidious. Even if he believed that he could defeat Mo Wuji, he wouldn''t dare to do so. Mo Wuji was a God Physique expert so even if his cultivation level was much higher than Mo Wuji, he wouldn''t be able to finish Mo Wuji off within a short period of time. As long as Mo Wuji was able to hold him back, Wei Zidao and co. would arrive next and Bai Ye might end up with only his brain juice left on the floor. Moreover, he had always suspected that he wouldn''t be a match for Mo Wuji. "Sect Head Mo, the Great Sword Path have many good places with countless of famous swords. I am just fond of this particular sword and if Sect Head Mo wants it¡­" Even before Bai Ye finished his sentence, Mo Wuji had already strolled over and ripped the seal surrounding the sword apart. With one sweep of the hand, Mo Wuji had already kept the sword left on the platform. Bai Ye''s eyes was filled with wishful thoughts and disappointment because he had suffered so much for the sword only to lose it in the end. At the instance Mo Wuji kept the sword, Bai Ye really wanted to attack but his rational mind stopped his urge to do so. Bai Ye was different from the rest. Wei Zidao was thrown into the Sword Prison because the Great Sword Path fancied his dao rite. Su Zi''An and co. were sent into the Sword Prison because the Great Sword Path wanted to exterminate their sects. However, the Great Sword Path threw Bai Ye into the Sword Prison because he wanted to steal this sword. Among everyone who were in the Sword Prison, Bai Ye was considered as one who deserved to be thrown in. Bai Ye knew that any item which Mo Wuji had obtained would be impossible to even think about getting it back. Ai, something is wrong. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji shouldn''t be able to keep this sword so casually. This sword was kept here only because nobody in the Great Sword Path was able to use it so how did Mo Wuji managed to sweep this sword up so easily? Could this sword be a fake? "Sect Head Mo, could you show me the sword that you just kept?" Bai Ye looked longingly at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sneered, "Bai Ye, there is no hurry to see the sword. We should settle some scores first. Previously we agreed to fight against the Great Sword Path together but you ended up throwing all the work to Ping Fan and tried to make a fortune for yourself here. This seemed to be violating the agreement to work together." "Sect Head Mo, I admit that I was wrong. I can tell Sect Head Mo the origins of this sword but I only hope to be friends not enemy with Sect Head Mo and of course Ping Fan," Bai Ye instantly understood how dangerously he was living in front of Mo Wuji. The sword had been taken away by Mo Wuji and it''s for sure that he wouldn''t be able to snatch it back. However, if he were to continue angering Mo Wuji, he might not be able to walk out of here alive. Chapter 732: Kun Wu Chapter 732: Kun Wu Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations Seeing that Mo Wuji was still emotionless and speechless, Bai Ye understood that his act of coming to retrieve the sword secretly had angered Mo Wuji. "Sect Head Mo, it is my fault for going back on my promise previously and I would like to apologise once more," Bai Ye''s tone was evidently very sincere. Mo Wuji knew that he could never trust or believe the words of this person anymore and he kept silent because he seriously considering if he should teach Bai Ye a lesson. "Sect Head Mo, I am now an elder of the Revolving Soul Dao. Naturally, my Revolving Soul Dao would not mean much in front of Sect Head Mo but I have to admit that it was my fault this time round." "You''ve joined the Revolving Soul Dao?" Mo Wuji asked shockingly. Mo Wuji naturally knew the meaning of Bai Ye''s words which was to tell him that Bai Ye had a backer behind him now. Even though the Revolving Soul Dao was not as strong as the Great Sword Path, they were still considered to be one of the peak grade immortal sects in the Devil Domain. Mo Wuji was the sect head of Ping Fan so he definitely wouldn''t form a feud with the Revolving Soul Dao over a small matter like this. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji nodded as he said, "Since we''re already acquainted, I will forgive you this once. Say what you know and hope that I''m satisfied." "Don''t worry Sect Head Mo, I will definitely not hide anything from you," Hearing that Mo Wuji decided to stop delving into this matter, Bai Ye heaved a huge sigh of relief. He mentioned the Revolving Soul Dao only because he wanted to make Mo Wuji slightly fearful. Even he knew that the Revolving Soul Dao wouldn''t be able to threaten Mo Wuji because of the personnels at Ping Fan. Despite having established themselves so recently, the Revolving Soul Dao would never be able to match them. The extermination of the Great Sword Path was one fine example of what would happen if they were to offend Ping Fan. Indeed, Mo Wuji got lucky to be able to bring so many Immortal Emperors from the Sword Prison into his Ping Fan. However, luck was also an embodiment of strength. Moreover, how many people could do what Mo Wuji did? Not only did he escaped from the Sword Prison, he managed established such a powerful sect so soon after coming out and was even capable of wiping out the Great Sword Path just like that. Bai Ye reminded himself that unless it was for a legitimate valid reason, he shouldn''t offend this fella called Mo Wuji standing right in front of him. Bai Ye took in a deep breath before saying, "The sword which Sect Head Mo had just obtained was called the Kun Wu Sword¡­" "Kun Wu?" Mo Wuji asked curiously, "Why does this name sounds so familiar?" Bai Ye chuckled, "It is no wonder Sect Head Mo would find it familiar because among the ten greatest ancient God sword, the Kun Wu Sword was one of them." "Which ten ancient God swords?" Mo Wuji asked under his breath but at this moment, he already had some examples forming in his head. "They are the Kun Wu Sword, Sky Sword, Qingping Sword, Yuantu Sword, Zhu Immortal Sword, Lost Legend Sword, Abi Sword, Depressive Immortal Sword, Absolute Immortal Sword and Demon Slashing Sword," Bai Ye answered in details but he was the only one who knew the hidden secret within the Kun Wu Sword. He definitely wouldn''t let Mo Wuji know about such secrets because every single one of these ten great God swords would be able to match against a Xiantian treasure. The reason why he chose not to mention it was because he still had a tiny strand of hope that he would be able to retrieve back he Kun Wu Sword someday. Despite the extremely low chances of that happening, Bai Ye was still unwilling to give up on the last strand of hope. Mo Wuji nodded, "So these are the ten God swords, I seemed to remember some of them now." Mo Wuji''s heart still wasn''t at peace because the Red Karmic Fire Lotus appeared and then familiar names like Depressive Immortal Sword, Yuantu Sword and even Abi Sword. Because he originated from Earth, Mo Wuji was starting to suspect if the legends of the Earth were not unfounded. "Since this was the case, Immortal Friend Bai, you can leave now," Mo Wuji had already used his spiritual will to sense the entire place and was confident that there were no longer anything else except for this Kun Wu Sword. Bai Ye''s eyes revealed a slight trace of unwillingness but still clasped his fist towards Mo Wuji to bid his goodbye before retreating swiftly out of Mo Wuji''s sight. He really wanted to question how Mo Wuji was able to find him but still kept the question to himself in the end. He was certain that Mo Wuji would not tell him anything. When Mo Wuji came out again, even the great immortal mountains were kept by Wei Zidao and his Ping Fan''s sweep of this Great Sword Path was coming to the end. "Sect Head, this is a small world we obtained from the Great Sword Path''s Elder Gui Jiancang, the various great immortal mountains of the Great Sword Path, some immortal herbs, all sorts of scriptures within the scripture library and even the Great Sword Path''s main immortal vein and the storage rings everywhere," Wei Zidao handed a pearl to Mo Wuji the moment he saw Mo Wuji coming out. Jian Mingcheng and co. were also starting to gather as the wiping out of the Great Sword Path was almost completed. "Were there any unexpected incidents which occurred at the scripture library?" Mo Wuji casually asked. "There was a Class 9 demonic beast which was killed by the three of us," Nie Chongan replied promptly. Mo Wuji nodded his head as he handed the small world in his hand to Su Zi''An and said, "Zi''An, you can head back now together with Revered Protector Mingcheng and Revered Protector Chongan to set up the immortal mountains in Ping Fan where we had planned previously. Plant the immortal herbs into our immortal herbs garden and the scriptures into our Ping Fan''s scripture library. I will be heading to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins with Right Defender Wei." After pausing for a moment, Mo Wuji continued adding to his orders, "I must warn everyone that no matter which enemy came to find trouble with us, the first thing to do would be to ignite Ping Fan''s protecting array. Before we find out for sure how strong the enemy was as compared to us, we must know fight an all out war so casually." The obliteration of the Great Sword Path served as a warning to Mo Wuji. If the Great Sword Path chose to continue protecting their array from the inside and wait for further reinforcements when Ping Fan came over, the Great Sword Path might not have been exterminated so easily. The main reason why the Great Sword Path''s obliteration was easy was due to their overconfidence and arrogance in their own abilities. "Yes!" Su Zi''An and co. bowed to acknowledge the order as the group of them left the Great Sword Path speedily, leaving behind an ash gray wasteland. ¡­ Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, it had never been as crowded and lively as it was now. Even the previous few opening of the Broken World did not attract such crowd. At this moment, the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins was packed with people because the Venerable Envoy of the Very High Heavens had gathered all the reputable sects across the seven immortal domains, castellans of the top immortal cities and all seven Heavenly Emperors from the seven immortal domains. Therefore, one would be considered fortunate if one could find a place to stay in the Shaprhorn Immortal Ruins now. The reason why the Venerable Envoy of the Very High Heavens gave up camping outside the fourth level of the Broken World had already been spread across the entire Shaprhorn Immortal Ruins. This was because the Red Karmic Fire Lotus was brought away by someone out of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. The two Grand Zhi Immortals who were suspected to possess the Red Karmic Fire Lotus were eventually trapped by the other cultivators only to find out that they didn''t have it. According to that Blade Scar Mountain Grand Zhi cultivator''s confession, the Red Karmic Fire Lotus had already disappeared when he arrived at the dried lake. Perhaps some other people might still question this confession but the Venerable Envoy of the Very High Heavens didn''t question it. This was because Tong Hui was sent into the fourth level by him so he had already placed a spiritual will imprint on Tong Hui. If Tong Hui had truly obtained the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, he would be the first one to find out. ¡­ The instance Wei Zidao and Mo Wuji arrived at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, the first thing they did was to snoop around for the latest news.They had also been asking around for resthouses and hotels to stay in but because of the insane number of people here, they hadn''t been able to find a place to stay. ''Sect Head, we might need to stay at the trade union at this rate," Wei Zidao said helplessly. It wasn''t that the living conditions at the trade union was bad but because they were currently representing Ping Fan and if they were to stay at the trade union, it would seemingly lower their status. This gathering was planned by the Very High Heavens and had its own agenda, all the individual sects would still be comparing with each other. Even if they were to stay in a small residence, they wouldn''t lose much face. If Mo Wuji was still a rogue cultivator, he wouldn''t mind as long as he had a place to stay. However, now that he was the sect head of Ping Fan, everything he did would be directly affecting the reputation of Ping Fan. If he were to lose his face today, other people might make fun of his Ping Fan''s disciples that their sect head slept by the street during the previous Sharphorn Immortal Ruins gathering. Mo Wuji would naturally not want to sleep at the trade union so he shook his hand, "Don''t worry, I still have a pill house here. Let''s go and check it out now." ¡­ "Sect Head, there seemed to be a new owner here already," When Mo Wuji brought Wei Zidao in front of his Tian Ji Pill House, Wei Zidao asked doubtfully as he stared at the signboard of the Tian Ji Pill House. It was no wonder Wei Zidao would be so doubtful because regardless if they were in the Immortal World or Mortal World, territories would be under protection. No matter how strong you are, you cannot casually take over other people''s territory. This was just like how a cultivator''s handmade immortal cave would belong to himself only. If he left for a while and someone decided to take over his immortal cave just like that, it would mean that he was intentionally forming a deadly feud with him. This deadly feud was similar to the feud between the Great Sword Path and Ping Fan. It wouldn''t end until one party got rid of the other party. Presently, there was a signboard that read ''Unfettered Hundred Treasures Building'' in front of his Tian Ji Pill House. Evidently, it was occupied by someone else. "Destroy this signboard now," Mo Wuji said without hesitation. Of course, Wei Zidao wouldn''t be afraid to follow Mo Wuji''s orders. With a raise of his hand, the suspending words of the pill house was instantly turned into scraps. Mo Wuji contributed by removing all sorts seal and restrictions around the hundred treasures building. "Who dares to touch my hundred treasures building?" An enraged voice could be heard and a Grand Zhi Immortal charged out. "Pa!" Wei Zidao sent out a slap and this Grand Zhi Immortal was sent flying by Wei Zidao. The Grand Zhi Immortal''s teeth were stained with blood as he spat out a mouthful of blood. If not for the fact that no killing intent was allowed in the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, Wei Zidao would have already killed this mere Grand Zhi Immortal. "Pill Master Mo?" A shocked voice could be heard from far away and in the next moment, a yellow dress woman appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and smiled, "Immortal Friend Muqing, long time no see." Shen Muqing bit her lips because she really did find it extremely shocking to see Mo Wuji here. She really wanted to warn Mo Wuji to leave this place as soon as possible but she couldn''t find the words to tell him that. She had heard of some incidents about Mo Wuji and she also knew that this pill house belonged to Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji was back, he definitely want this pill house back but did he not know that he could lose his life easily here at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins? "Pill Master Mo¡­" Shen Muqing hesitated for a while as she didn''t know how to start. Presently, the Grand Zhi Immortal who was sent flying by Wei Zidao''s slap had already sent out a message saying that his shop was being attacked. Countless of figures landed swiftly just moments later. Chapter 733: Lots Of Talk And Little Action Chapter 733: Lots Of Talk And Little Action Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Shen Muqing noticed that a group of people was walking over. She sighed again as she knew that it was too late to say anything. "What happened?"The Immortal King at the front shouted as he arrived. This shophouse belonged to the Unfettered Emperor Palace so regardless of what happened, he had to give a reasonable answer to the Unfettered Emperor Palace. "Main Affairs Lord, they smashed my signboard and bullied me with their superior cultivation level by attacking me," That Grand Zhi Immortal saw the law enforcers of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins arriving so he hurried over and explained the situation. This Immortal King''s eyes fell back on Mo Wuji and was instantly shocked because he recognised Mo Wuji. Back then, Immortal Emperor Lun Cai of the Unfettered Emperor Palace placed a wanted poster for Mo Wuji''s head so how could he not recognise Mo Wuji''s face? This Mo Wuji, a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, was not simple at all; under the encirclement of three Grand Emperors and one Quasi-Emperor, he still managed to escape. Now that he had returned to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, this enforcer wouldn''t believe if they said that this Pill Master Mo came to look for his death. If Mo Wuji had such low IQ, he would have been killed multiple times already. At the same time, this Immortal King was well aware of why Mo Wuji would smash this shophouse''s signboard into pieces. He knew that this shophouse belonged to Mo Wuji previously. However, this Immortal King also knew that the fella who reported this attack was a member of the Unfettered Emperor Palace. He really didn''t want to offend either Mo Wuji or the Unfettered Emperor Palace. As for his intention to give the Unfettered Emperor Palace a reasonable explanation regardless of what happened, he had completely thrown that thought away because his own safety was what was important now. At the thought of this, the Immortal King frowned and clasped his fist to Mo Wuji, "Immortal Friend, why did you smash his signboard?" He could only pretend that he didn''t recognise Mo Wuji because even the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins'' castellan couldn''t afford to offend Mo Wuji, let alone him. Similarly, he couldn''t afford to offend Grand Emperor Lun Cai too. "Because this shop is mine," Mo Wuji said faintly, "This person didn''t get my agreement and set up a business here at my shophouse so I naturally had to smash his signboard." "Rubbish! This shophouse was given to me by the Deacon Guo of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance," The Grand Zhi Immortal replied furiously despite not understanding why the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins enforcer would be so polite to Mo Wuji. Logically speaking, since the enforcer knew that he was a member of the Unfettered Emperor Palace, he should have settled this already. Because of the politeness the enforcer showed Mo Wuji, the Grand Zhi Immortal intentionally sent out a message after saying that. Moments later, Guo Qi rushed over and just as she wanted to ask this Grand Zhi Immortal about what was so important that he had to request for her so urgently, she saw Mo Wuji standing by the side. "Pill Master Mo¡­" Guo Qi exclaimed and instantly understood what was happening. Previously, she was the one who gave Mo Wuji this shophouse but the shophouse was smashed and destroyed after the Unfettered Emperor Palace decided to go after Mo Wuji. Later on, rumours spread that Mo Wuji was encircled by a few Grand Emperors only to have fallen in the void. In her eyes, even if Mo Wuji hadn''t died, he wouldn''t dare to return. This was why she decided to gift this shophouse to a mere Grand Zhi Immortal of the Unfettered Emperor Palace so as to make friends with them. She had never thought about the possibility that not only did Mo Wuji survive, he even dared to return so blatantly. Presently, Guo Qi was extremely vexed because if she knew that Mo Wuji was still alive, she would have used her land deed to reject the member of the Unfettered Emperor Palace. Even if the place was taken away forcefully by the Unfettered Emperor Palace, it would still be 10,000 times better than giving it away herself. "Deacon Guo, what''s happening? No matter what the problem is, my Unfettered Emperor Palace would handle it," Even the Grand Zhi Immortal found Guo Qi''s reaction odd. Mo Wuji didn''t acknowledge Guo Qi''s greeting because the shophouse still items which belonged to him from the past. Because Guo Qi gave this shophouse to him, he was immensely grateful and had even concocted many immortal pills for the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance to pass it to her. To him, he believed he had repaid her kindness by doing that much. He was extremely displeased that Guo Qi actually gave this shophouse away. If it was that simple, Mo Wuji still could forget it because after all, a shophouse wouldn''t mean much to Mo Wuji. What displeased Mo Wuji the most was that Guo Qi actually gave it to the Unfettered Emperor Palace. One must know that he had an extremely deadly feud with the Unfettered Emperor Palace because they went on to kill everyone in his Tian Ji Pill Court, searched the entire world for him, went on to teach Devil Moon Immortal School''s Lin Gu and her master a lesson and eventually, razed the entire Moon Seeking Mountain too. He would naturally not forget a feud like this. Everyone in the Immortal World talked about the feud between himself and Grand Emperor Lun Cai so he didn''t believe that Guo Qi wouldn''t know about it. From this incident, Mo Wuji concluded that Guo Qi was a person to work together for business but he would never treat a person like Guo Qi as his friend. "Pill Master Mo, this shophouse¡­" Guo Qi didn''t know how to continue because if she knew that Mo Wuji could still return, he definitely wouldn''t commit such brainless acts. Noticing Mo Wuji''s emotionless expression, Guo Qi knew that she would never be able to get Mo Wuji to forgive her so she could only say to the Grand Zhi Immortal of the Unfettered Emperor Palace, "This shophouse was indeed Pill Master Mo''s but I handled it poorly so I am willing to compensate¡­" This Grand Zhi Immortal was finally able to understand the reason as he stared shockingly at Mo Wuji, "You, you are that Mo Wuji." "Yes you''re right, I am indeed Mo Wuji so scram. If you are unhappy, get Lun Cai to find me directly," Mo Wuji walked over, swung his hand and the Grand Zhi Immortal was thrown far away. That Immortal King law enforcer saw Mo Wuji walking into the shophouse so he casually shook his hand and said, "Since the few of you have settled your personal grudges, this incident shall end here." After saying that, the Immortal King law enforcer didn''t say anything else as he turned and left hurriedly together with the rest of the people he brought along. The Grand Zhi Immortal, who was thrown away by Mo Wuji one swing of his hand, didn''t even dare to come back to collect his belongings. He left speedily and the first thing he did was to send out a message using his communication bead. Mo Wuji''s appearance at the Sharphorn Immortal Alliance had to be made known to the Unfettered Emperor Palace When the few workers left in the shophouse witnessed how their shopkeeper fled the scene, they started scurrying out of the shop too. As for these small and meaningless creatures, Mo Wuji really couldn''t be bothered by them. As everyone else around the scene saw that there was nothing left to watch, they started leaving in separate directions and spread the news about how the Pill Master Mo, who was chased out of the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, had returned. Guo Qi looked at the shophouse with a pale face but she still chose not to enter the shophouse to apologise. She knew that her friendship with Mo Wuji was completely destroyed. ¡­ "Pill Master Mo¡­" Shen Muqing followed Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao into the shophouse. Because she really did admire Mo Wuji, in addition to the help Mo Wuji provided her once in the past, she still wanted to advise Mo Wuji to leave as soon as possible. "Are you worried that Lun Cai would come and find trouble with me?" Mo Wuji looked at Shen Muqing with a warmly heart because no matter her reason, she was genuinely concerned for him. Shen Muqing nodded, "Yes, other than him, there are also the few other big sects around. To make things worse, those few Grand Emperors are all here at the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins." "You don''t have to worry about all these. Back then, I wasn''t afraid of Lun Cai so I would naturally not be afraid of him now. As for you, it has only been a few years and you''re already in the intermediate Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Congratulations!" Mo Wuji chuckled. Shen Muqing shook her head, "My minute improvements are definitely not worthy of mention in front of Pill Master Mo¡­" Shen Muqing''s tone was slightly hesitant and Mo Wuji knew she still had something to say, "Immortal Friend Muqing, we are already considered old friends so just tell me what''s on your mind." Shen Muqing heard Mo Wuji''s words and she revealed a beautiful smile, "Alright, I''m sorry. The thing is that the ancestor of my sect wants to meet Pill Master Mo. Years ago, I told my ancestors about your incident and my ancestor said that you would definitely turn out to be extraordinary hence, she wanted to meet you. The pity was that a series of unfortunate incidents occured and she never got to meet you at all. In fact, she was even intending to head out to find you. Who would have expected Pill Master Mo to survive thus far so if my ancestor knows about this, she would be extremely delighted." Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that Shen Muqing was from the Floating Flower Immortal Valley but he never knew who the ancestor of the Floating Flower Immortal Valley was. All he could do was to reply apologetically, "Immortal Friend Muqing, I am still not aware of who your ancestor is." Shen Muqing smiled, "Senior Brother Mo, just call me Muqing because immortal friend sounds slightly odd. The truth is that not many people knew about the ancestor of the Floating Flower Immortal Valley. Do you know Immortal Empress Wen Lan?" Mo Wuji nodded, "I''ve heard of her. Rumours were saying that back then, Immortal Empress Wen Lan established the Waterfall Immortal Sect. Could it be that¡­" Shen Muqing nodded back, "Senior Brother Mo''s guess is right. The Floating Flower Immortal Valley was indeed single handedly maintained by Ancestor Wen Lan. The one who established the Floating Flower Immortal Valley was Fairy Piao Hua[1] and she was Ancestor Wen Lan''s daughter. Because of some differences in opinions, Fairy Piao Hua left the Waterfall Immortal Sect to establish the Floating Flower Immortal Valley. However, before the Floating Flower Immortal Valley could finish its construction, Fairy Piao Hua got into an accident. Ancestor Wen Lan was extremely remorseful for letting her own daughter leave in a fit of anger. To complete her daughter''s wish, she still established the Floating Flower Immortal Valley eventually." Mo Wuji didn''t ask why Fairy Piao Hua would leave the Waterfall Immortal Sect as he simply said, "Many thanks for Senior Wen Lan''s high regard. If I have the chance to meet her during this conference, I will definitely greet her." "Many thanks Senior Brother Mo. Ancestor Wen Lan will be coming to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins so I am sure the two of you will meet," Shen Muqing said ecstatically. Because she was an old friend, Mo Wuji enjoyed his conversation with her too. After Shen Muqing bade her goodbye, Mo Wuji reinstalled a new set of protecting arrays over the shophouse and even though he didn''t set up a Grade 7 protecting array, he managed to fix up a Grade 5 one in a short period of time. In the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins, it was already considered extremely impressive for a small shophouse to be protected by a Grade 5 protecting array. Most of the people here were not concerned about the Grade 5 immortal array but the commotion that was bound to happen. Pill Master Mo had a deadly feud with the Unfettered Emperor Palace and now that Pill Master Mo came back, Grand Emperor Lun Cai would definitely come to find trouble. Even if it wasn''t Grand Emperor Lun Cai, other big sects would also come knocking on Mo Wuji''s door and everyone was just here to watch the show. Eventually, many onlookers were left disappointed because two days had passed and without mentioning Grand Emperor Lun Cai, neither of the Great Sword Path, Lightning Sect or the Vast Ocean Immortal School appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Today was finally the day of gathering organised by the Very High Heavens and the venue was the Sharphorn Immortal Garden. [1]; Piao Hua is the hanyu pinyin of Floating Flower. Chapter 734: Someone Definitely Knows Chapter 734: Someone Definitely Knows Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Sharphorn Immortal Garden. This was the most well-known site for gathering in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Here, not only was it spacious and beautiful, the environment was also very good. At this instant, a grand open-air hall had been constructed in Sharphorn Immortal Garden. By the time Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao entered Sharphorn Immortal Garden, there were already many people there. Everyone formed their own groups and engaged in their own conversations; some of them were gossiping, while others were catching up with old friends. Mo Wuji''s name had spread throughout the Immortal World; there were many here that knew of him. However, there weren''t any that came to greet him. "Pill Master Mo, long time no see." A light and clear voice could be heard. Mo Wuji was slightly confused, someone actually dared to greet him? When he turned and saw who it was, he came to an understanding. It was Qing Yang of the Green Immortal House. The Green Immortal House was a major power in the Immortal World, and Qing Yang herself was an absolute expert. Moreover, her daughter, Qing Ruoyue, had been selected by the Very High Heavens. Thus, no one would shun her merely because she came to greet Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also recognised the girl by Qing Yang''s side; it was Mo Xianmo. Even though they both shared the same surname, Mo Wuji did not have any favourable impression towards this Mo Xianmo. "It really is. Long time no see. It seems like House Lord Qing''s cultivation has reached another level. That''s truly worth celebrating," Mo Wuji smiled and said. He was very clear that the reason why Qing Yang came to greet him wasn''t because their relationship was close. It was because she was clever and quick-witted; she viewed Mo Wuji''s attainments in the Pill Dao highly, and she also knew that there wouldn''t be any repercussions from greeting Mo Wuji, only benefits. "Aunt Qing¡­" Another sweet voice could be heard. Thereafter, two beautiful young girls walked over. The young girl in front was not only pretty, she looked innocent and guileless. She gave the impression of a kind-hearted and honest girl. Moreover, with her petite and beautiful looks, anyone would feel tenderness towards her. When Mo Wuji laid his eyes on this girl, his killing intent surged and he almost wanted to kill the young girl. Fortunately, he managed to control his killing intent and he turned to face the girl behind her. This girl had slightly thick eyebrows, but her looks weren''t bad. In between her thick brows, there seemed to be some wrinkles. "Mei Mei, Nini, it''s been a long time since I saw the two of you. I never thought that your cultivations would improve so greatly," Qing Yang smiled and said. "My cultivation hasn''t improved much. Mei Mei, on the other hand, has seen tremendous improvements in her cultivation," The girl with the slightly wild eyebrows said. Mo Wuji knew that this girl was right. When he first saw this Mei Mei, she was just at the early Grand Yi Immortal Stage. But now, she was already at the intermediate Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. Even Nine Star Geniuses wouldn''t have such a rapid improvement. Besides Lei Hongji, this Mei Mei probably had the fastest cultivation among the people he knew. As she continued to converse with the two girls, Qing Yang suddenly felt as though she was being too cold to Mo Wuji. She hurriedly turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Pill Master Mo, these two are Immortal Universe Sword School''s Wu Mei and Tian Nini¡­" "Aunt Yi, compared to those geniuses, I''m still lacking." That innocent looking young girl hurriedly said with a blushing face. After that, she fiddled with her dress uneasily, seemingly too shy to face Mo Wuji. Qing Yang snickered, ''Mei Mei, you are going to leave the school soon. You need to be more open. Let me introduce the two of you, this is Pill Master Mo, he is a Pill Emperor. If Ruoyue hadn''t been chosen to go to the Very High Heavens, I would have introduced Ruoyue to Pill Emperor Mo¡­" As she said this, Qing Yang seemed to recall something. Her gaze went across Mo Wuji and Wu Mei multiple times, then she said with a joking tone, "Pill Master Mo, not only is Wu Mei beautiful, she is also a Six Star Genius. How about I introduce Mei Mei to you?" Mo Wuji didn''t say anything, he only noticed that the thick-browed girl behind Wu Mei had an ugly expression on her face. ''Aunt Qing¡­" Wu Mei cried out softly, her head lowered even more and the blush in her cheeks extended up to her ears. Mo Wuji sneered, "Even if I, Mo Wuji, have to be a bachelor all my life, I wouldn''t want this sort of woman." Wu Mei''s rose-red face turned pale white in an instant. Tears began to gather at the corner of her eyes and one even threatened to drop. Qing Yang''s face turned ugly. She wanted to befriend Mo Wuji because of his potential. But her Green Immortal House was not desperate to befriend Mo Wuji; the Green Immortal House had their own pride. Mo Wuji could choose not to befriend them, but he didn''t need to reject her in such a roundabout manner. These words not only harmed a young girl''s pride, it even made the Green Immortal House look like a laughing stock. If not for the fact that she wanted to maintain her demeanour and that she didn''t want to create an enmity with Mo Wuji, she would have immediately turned and left. At this instant, Qing Yang finally understood why Mo Wuji had so many enemies. It would be weird if an arrogant and supercilious person like him didn''t make many enemies. She wasn''t a fussy person, but if it was anyone else, Mo Wuji would probably have formed a new enemy. "Wow, Pill Master Mo is so awe-inspiring. Not only does he plot against his benefactor, he also bullies the weak." A sneer sounded. Thereafter, a handsome man with a jade-like complexion came over. What left Mo Wuji sighing in praise was that this fella already had a Quasi-Emperor cultivation despite not looking very old. "Senior Uncle, Pill Master Mo shouldn''t be that kind of person¡­" Before Mo Wuji could say anything, a young girl that was standing behind this handsome man interjected. Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding. This fella was from Gods Immortal Sect, no wonder why this fella would find him displeasing. Rumours had been spreading throughout the Immortal World that Gods Immortal Sect''s Ling Lunan had saved him, but Mo Wuji turned against Ling Lunan. However, only he knew the truth; he had never betrayed Ling Lunan. In fact, he had tried to find ways to save Ling Lunan. Unfortunately, his abilities were limited. As for the girl that tried to defend him, Mo Wuji also recognised her. She was Nai He. Back when he first saw her in the cultivation world, he didn''t even have the power to resist her. But now, he was already an Immortal King, while she was still a late stage Grand Yi Immortal. Comparatively, Nai He''s cultivation speed was quite fast. But even if it was any faster, it really couldn''t compare to his. Up till now, Mo Wuji only knew of one person who had a faster cultivation speed than him, that person was Lei Hongji. Oh, that''s not right, there''s this Mei Mei too. Even though her cultivation speed might not be faster than his, she was able to advance to the intermediate Grand Zhi Immortal Stage from the early Grand Yi Immortal Stage in just her few years. It was an exceptional and impressive speed. Mo Wuji soon came to an understanding. This woman definitely had a huge secret. Otherwise, her improvement wouldn''t be so rapid. "What do you know? Others might fear this Mo Wuji, but my Gods Immortal Sect isn''t one of them," This handsome man said angrily. Thereafter, this handsome man stared at Mo Wuji and said, "Mo Wuji, if I had evidence, I would have already killed you." Mo Wuji shook his head. On account of Ling Lunan, he wasn''t going to care about this fella. Qing Yang looked at the sulking Wu Mei and snorted, "Pill Master Mo is indeed exceptional, but you need to consider the feelings of others. If you do not like my suggestion, you could have said it directly. Why must you be so overbearing and hurtful?" If it was anyone else, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t have used such a tone, even if he didn''t like it. It was just that this Wu Mei killed her friend that was genuinely trying to help her. This caused Mo Wuji to recall his tragic past. It could be said that he was thoroughly disgusted by such a woman." "House Lord Qing doesn''t know what this woman had done, so you would find my words inappropriate." The reason why Mo Wuji chose to explain himself was that he felt Qing Yang was a person worth befriending, albeit her character of basing everything on benefits. For the sake of Ping Fan, even if he couldn''t make friends, he shouldn''t create enemies. Qing Yang frowned, "Pill Master Mo, Mei Mei doesn''t like complicated things. Even speaking to a man causes her to blush. What kind of thing would she have done?" If Mo Wuji had admitted his mistake, she would still consider Mo Wuji a possible friend. But now that Mo Wuji actually tried to find an excuse, she had completely lost her respect for Mo Wuji. Even though 99% of the people in the world could never be as capable as Mo Wuji, his character was severely lacking. Mo Wuji shot a glance towards the frightened girl and he said indifferently, "If I had such a woman as my dao companion, I would be worried that I might get stabbed in the back when I''m helping her to concoct pills¡­" When Mo Wuji said this, he recalled his plight and his heart became filled with anger. Until now, he still didn''t understand why Xia Ruoyin would want to stab him in the back. It was exactly because of this, that he was full of killing intent when he saw Wu Mei backstab that Senior Brother Tian that wanted to help her. When she heard Mo Wuji''s words, Wu Mei''s hands started to tremble. Shock filled her heart. She was sure that no one was there when she killed Tian Zhongfu. How did this Mo Wuji know about it? Could he have been there? That''s not possible, she definitely wouldn''t have committed such a low-level mistake. Wu Mei suddenly started to sob, covering her face as she tried to leave. Qing Yang went ahead and grabbed her. She then turned and looked at Mo Wuji coldly, "Pill Master Mo, you can''t go about spouting nonsense. I admit that you are strong. However, Wu Mei is my distant niece. If you don''t give me a proper explanation, even if I don''t do anything, the Immortal Universe Sword School definitely would." Considering Mo Wuji''s status and reputation, she didn''t directly ask Mo Wuji to apologize. A raspy voice suddenly resounded, "That''s right. If Pill Master Mo doesn''t offer a suitable explanation, my Immortal Universe Sword School might not be comparable to Pill Master Mo, but I definitely wouldn''t let things go. Let me introduce myself, I am the head of Immortal Universe Sword School, Qu Cang." The person who came over was a white-haired elder. Even though his voice was raspy and hoarse, Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that he was an early stage Immortal Emperor. From the looks of it, this Immortal Universe Sword School was not bad, it actually had an Immortal Emperor. Mo Wuji really wanted to kill Wu Mei, but he didn''t want to offend the Immortal Universe Sword School. He only said calmly, "Back when I was at the third level of the Broken World, I personally saw this Mei Mei betray her senior brother that was trying to search for a healing pill for her. Back then, she called him ''Brother Tian''. Thus, I only know that her senior brother has the surname ''Tian''. I don''t know anything else. I especially detest such women who portray themselves as angels when they have the hearts of demons." Everyone suddenly went silent. After some time, that girl called Tian Nini stared at Wu Mei in astonishment and muttered, "My brother was killed by you? Why? Why¡­" Chapter 735: The Treasure That Incited Wu Mei To Kill Chapter 735: The Treasure That Incited Wu Mei To Kill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wu Mei lifted her head; her eyes were red and her face was covered in tears. She looked at Mo Wuji mournfully and said, "Pill Master Mo, I have no animosity towards you, nor have I done you any wrong. Why must you frame me like so?" Mo Wuji replied indifferently, "So you also know that I have no animosity towards you. Since that''s the case, why would I want to frame you? Stop quibbling, otherwise, I will take out the crystal ball which I used to record the scene and reveal what happened for everyone to see. Back then, that Tian fella and you joined hands to kill a middle-aged cultivator. Thereafter, you acted as though you were poisoned. When that Tian fella was helping you to search for an antidote, you suddenly stabbed him in the back." "Wu Mei, Tian Zhongfu was really killed by you?" Qu Cang finally felt that something was amiss. He turned to Wu Mei and shouted at her angrily. "I, I¡­" Wu Mei''s tears fell like rain. She didn''t say a single word but the aggrieved expression on her face was more powerful than any word. "Pill Master Mo, with your status, you are a senior to Wu Mei. To say such irresponsible words, aren''t you acting out of place?" Qu Cang could feel that Wu Mei was being wronged and his tone changed slightly. However, there were still some hints of doubts in his voice. This time, Qing Yang didn''t speak up for Wu Mei. She was from the Green Immortal House, and she had seen her fair share of plots and schemes. Just now when Mo Wuji proclaimed that Wu Mei had killed Tian Zhongfu, Wu Mei''s hand trembled and her heartbeat instantly sped up. In that moment, Qing Yang knew that this matter was likely true. She sighed in her heart; one truly couldn''t be judged by the cover. Even the innocent and kind-looking Wu Mei could actually be such a devious person. But this also showed that Wu Mei and Tian Zhongfu must have found some supreme treasure. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have behaved in such a manner. Mo Wuji retrieved a crystal ball and the scenes recorded by the ball were now on full display. The scene where Wu Mei killed Tian Zhongfu was crystal clear; it was exactly as Mo Wuji had said. There was no longer any doubt. Tian Nini shrieked in agony as she grabbed her longsword and stabbed towards Wu Mei. However, the disparity between Tian Nini''s and Wu Mei''s cultivation was too high; even if Wu Mei didn''t do anything, she wouldn''t be harmed. Wu Mei didn''t even need to move as Qu Cang had already lifted his hand and swept away Tian Nini''s longsword. Qu Cang frowned and said, "Nini, this matter will be discussed back in the sect. I will give you an explanation." After which, Qu Cang turned and said to a middle-aged man behind him, "Detain Wu Mei." Towards Mo Wuji, Qu Cang didn''t even feel a morsel of gratitude. Mo Wuji had revealed Wu Mei''s evil doings, and that was equivalent to publicly displaying his Immortal Universe Sword School''s dirty linens. If not because Mo Wuji was overly enigmatic and was even able to escape from multiple Grand Emperors, he would have tried to secretly get rid of Mo Wuji right there and then. Mo Wuji sneered; he knew that nothing bad would befall Wu Mei. There were only two people that truly wanted to kill Wu Mei: one was him, the other was Tian Nini. As for the Immortal Universe Sword School, they definitely wouldn''t do anything to Wu Mei. At the very most, they would detain Wu Mei for a period of time before setting her free. After all, with Wu Mei''s amazing talent, they wouldn''t want to do anything otherwise. Tian Nini''s entire body trembled in anger. She wanted to speak, but not a single word came out of her mouth. She knew; the moment Wu Mei was brought back to the sect, then she would never have another chance at revenge in her entire life. Wu Mei had far too many backers in the sect, while she was merely an ordinary disciple. No one would help her because of her brother''s wrongful death. "Sect Head, please seek justice for Nini and my brother." Tian Nini did not hesitate to kneel down as she pleaded with a face full of hot tears. Qu Cang''s face sunk, "If there''s anything, we will discuss back in the sect. Crying and bawling here is truly a disgrace." After saying that, Qu Cang turned and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Pill Master Mo, many thanks for revealing this matter. I wonder if Pill Master Mo is able to give me that crystal ball. My sect will analyse its contents before coming to a verdict." How could Mo Wuji not know of Qu Cang''s intentions: he wanted to take the crystal ball away, destroy it, then release a claim that the crystal ball was fake. That way, the Immortal Universe Sword School could retain their genius disciple Wu Mei. Mo Wuji only managed to guess half of it right: Qu Cang didn''t only want to retain the genius, Wu Mei, he also wanted to rope in the backer behind her. "Who do you think you are to deserve something from me. F*ck off." Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with contempt towards Qu Cang. He did not hesitate to chide him. Qu Cang''s face turned green as his killing intent instantly seeped out. Fortunately, he was able to calm down quickly and resist his murderous thoughts. If Mo Wuji was so easy to kill, he wouldn''t have come here. Neither would he have been able to escape safely from the encirclement of multiple Grand Emperors. He, Qu Cang, might also be an early stage Immortal Emperor, but when compared to Grand Emperors like Yi Minghu and Lei Guyun, he wasn''t even comparable to an ant. "Sect Head, I beg you to seek justice for us siblings." Tian Nini kowtowed strongly against the ground, fresh blood even began to seep out of her forehead. Qu Cang snorted and waved his hand; a wave of immortal elemental energy threatened to blast Tian Nini far away. He was vexed at Wu Mei for hiding this secret and he was angered at Tian Nini for not knowing how to behave in the right situations. There was no need to talk about how Wu Mei was one of the peak geniuses in the sect, with the person behind her, was she someone that could be killed just because a person said so? Mo Wuji opened his palm and a blast of immortal elemental energy also surged out. Qu Cang''s immortal elemental energy was instantly dispelled by Mo Wuji. Immediately, Mo Wuji sneered, "I finally see how amazing your sect is. Not only do you condone a wrongdoer, you harm the innocent." "This is a matter of my Immortal Universe Sword School. Isn''t Pill Master Mo overstepping his boundaries?" Qu Cang said coldly. Mo Wuji chuckled, "I am purposely overstepping my boundaries. There''s no need to talk about how my relationship with Brother Tian is not shallow, I will even help Brother Tian''s sister." When Mo Wuji saw Tian Nini''s helpless appearance, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. That figure was Wen Xiaoqi. He knew that Wen Xiaoqi was secretly in love with him; she would even give up everything for him. Wen Xiaoqi had always been silently taking care of him. If he needed something, he didn''t even need to say a word and Wen Xiaoqi would take the initiative to help him. It was just that his heart had been fully occupied by Xia Ruoyin; so how could there still be space for Wen Xiaoqi. After he died, the person that was probably in the most pain should be Wen Xiaoqi. If he had a grave, the one that erected it would definitely be Wen Xiaoqi, and the only person that would visit his grave every year could only be Wen Xiaoqi. At this instant, Mo Wuji finally understood the pricelessness of such a person. Unfortunately, he wasn''t able to return back to Earth. If he could, he would try any means to make Wen Xiaoqi happy. You don''t know what you have till it''s gone. Mo Wuji decided to help Tian Nini because Tian Zhongfu was far too similar to him. Tian Nini care for her brother was also similar to Wen Xiaoqi''s care for him. The only difference was that Tian Nini''s relationship with Tian Zhongfu was the relationship between brother and sister. Moreover, with Mo Wuji''s experience and knowledge, how could he not know that Wu Mei had definitely killed Tian Zhongfu because of a treasure. Today, he might not be able to help Tian Nini kill Wu Mei, but he could help Tian Nini retrieve her brother''s items. When everyone heard what Mo Wuji said, they all knew what was going on. Previously, Mo Wuji said that he didn''t know Tian Zhongfu, but now he said that their relationship was not shallow. Mo Wuji was clearly trying to find an excuse to help. "Haha¡­" Qu Cang chortled and a longsword floated above his head, "I want to see how exactly does Pill Master Mo intend to get involved with my Immortal Universe Sword Sect''s matter." Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and he suddenly landed beside Wu Mei, and with a quick grab, he snatched Wu Mei''s storage ring. When Qu Cang knew that Wu Mei killed Tian Zhongfu, he also guessed that it was possible that Wu Mei had a supreme treasure on her. Otherwise, Wu Mei wouldn''t have murdered him. In reality, Qu Cang wasn''t the only one who had such thoughts, everyone else had them, but they just didn''t have an excuse to make a move. At the instant Mo Wuji made a move, Qu Cang tried to stop him. But just as Qu Cang moved a single inch, he felt an intense killing intent envelop him. He was sure that he dared to move another inch, this killing intent would kill him without question. In that moment, Mo Wuji had already taken away Wu Mei''s storage ring. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had easily torn apart the seals and penetrated into the ring. When he saw the things inside the ring, even he could not hold back his elation. Within the ring, there was a small cauldron that was only five inches wide. However, that small cauldron emanated a primordial energy that was no weaker than the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. And if that wasn''t enough, he actually saw two pages of the Book of Luo in the ring. There was no wonder why this woman''s cultivation was so fast. She had actually obtained such treasures. There was also no wonder why this woman would resort to killing her companion, such treasures were truly too heaven-defying. At the same time, Mo Wuji also found some admiration towards this woman''s luck. If she didn''t encounter him today, this woman''s achievements would be no lower than Murong Xiangyu. Qu Cang glanced fearfully towards Wei Zidao. At this moment, he was sure that Wei Zidao was an Immortal Emperor much more powerful than him, "Pill Master Mo is truly capable, to actually snatch from a junior," Qu Cang chided. "Sect Head, Tian Nini will no longer be a disciple of the Immortal Universe Sword School. Many thanks for taking care of this disciple over the years." When Tian Nini saw how her sect head seemed completely uncaring towards her brother''s death and seemed to want to protect Wu Mei, her heart turned cold. Would there still be any meaning if she stayed in such a sect? "Hmm!" Qu Cang''s killing intent rose once more. He was helpless against Mo Wuji, but why would he hold back against a mere Grand Yi Immortal that no longer had a sect? But before he could even say anything, Mo Wuji''s voice sounded, "Junior Sister Tian, if you don''t mind, you can join my sect. I have recently established my own sect." At the same time, Mo Wuji transmitted a message to Tian Nini, "It''s possible that Wu Mei''s items are your brother''s. After we leave, I will hand them over to you." "Many thanks, Sect Head Mo, this disciple is willing." Tian Nini immediately bowed towards Mo Wuji and moved to Mo Wuji''s side. She was very clear that even if Mo Wuji helped her, she wouldn''t be able to kill Wu Mei. If she wanted to take her own revenge, she would have to wait till her power gets higher. "Keke, a senior snatching from a junior. Today, I, Kui Fengyun, have truly seen what the world is like." Kui Fengyun''s voice resounded through the air. Mo Wuji knew that this fella probably didn''t dare to challenge him at Ping Fan alone; so this fella was trying to get the Immortal Universe Sword School to help him. Chapter 736: Huang Sha Makes An Allegation Chapter 736: Huang Sha Makes An Allegation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When the infuriated Qu Cang saw Kui Fengyun, his heart pounded and he hurriedly went forward and clasp his fists, "Many thanks, Heavenly Emperor Fengyun for your words. Also, congratulations for stepping into the Immortal Emperor Stage." "I simply don''t believe that this world is so unjust. Even though I, Kui Fengyun, might have a weak cultivation, I will not condone such matters." With that, Kui Fengyun clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "Various immortal friends, anyone willing to speak for justice, please step forward. He, Mo Wuji, might be strong in the Pill Dao, but he can''t simply do whatever he likes." According to Kui Fengyun''s intentions, with him stepping forward and another Immortal Emperor Qu Cang by his side, there would definitely be a host of people that would step forward. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, he wouldn''t be able to get by this day. It''s true that this is a meeting ordered by the Very High Heavens and it prohibited killing. However, the law doesn''t blame the masses; if everyone came together to deal with Mo Wuji, the Very High Heavens wouldn''t do anything. Even if no one else came forward, the people from the Lightning Sect, the Great Sword Path, the Vast Ocean Immortal School, and even the Unfettered Emperor Palace would. What left Kui Fengyun confused was that after his rallying call, no one actually came forward. He even turned to look at that Quasi-Emperor from Gods Immortal Sect. Previously, he had seen how this Quasi-Emperor came forward to berate Mo Wuji. But now, even this fella acted as though nothing happened. If all these sects claimed that they were angered at Wu Mei''s actions of murdering a senior brother, he, Kui Fengyun, definitely didn''t believe it. What left Kui Fengyun even more confused was that even the people from Vast Ocean Immortal School, Lightning Sect and the Great Sword Path didn''t even say anything. Could something have happened during these few days that he, Kui Fengyun, didn''t know of? Well, Kui Fengyun couldn''t be blamed. He had arrived at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins relatively early and he had been in seclusion ever since. After he emerged from seclusion, he had gone directly to Sharphorn Immortal Garden. There were truly many things that he didn''t know about. If Mo Wuji hadn''t exterminated the Great Sword Path, his call might have probably rallied many people together. But now, many sects know about what happened and no one was willing to offend Mo Wuji. That''s not right. He did not seem to see anyone from Great Sword Path. While there were people from Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School, he didn''t see Lei Guyun and Jin Wusheng. Fortunately, he finally saw someone that he had relatively good ties with - Revolving Soul Dao''s Sect Head Lu Ziting. Previously, Lu Ziting had joined hands with him together in a secret domain. It was just that Lu Ziting''s talent was better than his and was already an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor while he had only just confirmed his Immortal Emperor Dao. "Ziheng!" Kui Fengyun''s eyes lit up as he went forward to greet Lu Ziheng. Immediately, he saw a thin man standing right behind Lu Ziheng. This fella''s aura seemed no weaker than Lu Ziheng''s. Lu Ziheng was dressed in pure white robes, giving off a refined and gentle impression. He clasped his fists and returned the courtesy. Thereafter, he sighed, "Fengyun, how long has it been since the two of us last met?" "Sect Head Mo." What cause Kui Fengyun to frown was that before he could answer Lu Ziheng, that thin man went to Mo Wuji and greeted him. Kui Fengyun''s face turned slightly unsightly, "Ziheng, who''s this person?" He felt that this thin man looked slightly familiar, but he couldn''t remember off the top of his head. "This emperor is Bai Ye. The person I admire the most is Sect Head Mo. If you want to find trouble for Sect Head Mo, don''t blame this emperor for acting out." Bai Ye snickered and said to Kui Fengyun. Clearly, this Bai Ye was not intending to help him, Kui Fengyun, but Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was very clear of Bai Ye''s intentions; this fella had a penchant for tricks and gimmicks. He definitely knew that Mo Wuji and Kui Fengyun definitely wouldn''t fight it out there, which was why he intentionally said such words. Kui Fengyun''s face turned uglier; he had heard of Bai Ye''s name before. He was an Immortal Emperor that vanished for a period of time. He, Kui Fengyun, could never have thought that this Bai Ye would be so respectfully towards Mo Wuji. He was just about to say something to Lu Ziheng when it seemed as though Lu Ziheng had just heard something. Lu Ziheng''s face changed slightly and he awkwardly went to clasp his fists towards Mo Wuji. Thereafter, Lu Ziheng acted as though he saw a familiar friend as he hastily bid his farewells to Kui Fengyun and sped off. Observing all this by the side, Grand Emperor Lun Cai''s lips started twitching. He naturally knew that Lu Ziheng should have just heard the news of the Great Sword Path''s destruction. That was why he would abandon Kui Fengyun and leave. Originally, he was intending to join in if Kui Fengyun could really rally many experts to surround Mo Wuji. However, he didn''t expect that Kui Fengyun wasn''t even able to pull one person in to help him. From the looks of it, the news of Mo Wuji destroying the Great Sword Path was already known by many sects. "The Very High Heavens Envoy Jin Yu arrives." This announcement gave Kui Fengyun an excuse to leave. He no longer cared about his previous words to help the Immortal Universe Sword School as he hurriedly turned and left. He was sure that something had happened in these few days, but he didn''t know what it was. "Everyone, please take your seat." Jin Yu smiled warmly and calmly. It seemed as though he wasn''t here to ask about the Red Karmic Fire Lotus but to genuinely host a meeting. Since the envoy from the Very High Heavens was here, no one dared to utter any further nonsense. Qu Cang took the opportunity to grab the infuriated Wu Mei and retreat. Like Kui Fengyun, he no longer wanted to clash with Mo Wuji. Even a long lost expert like Bai Ye was related to Mo Wuji; he definitely didn''t want his Immortal Universe Sword School to collapse because of this matter. Moreover, he had yet to recognise Wei Zidao. If he did recognise Wei Zidao, he would probably be more afraid. "Great Sword Path''s disciple Huang Sha greets the venerable envoy. I beg the venerable envoy to seek justice for my Great Sword Path." A man in hemp cloths and hemp shoes suddenly walked out and kneeled on the ground. Jin Yu frowned slightly as he said, ''I know of the Great Sword Path. That Fang Shijiang is not bad. If you have anything to say, then stand up and talk." "Yes." Huang Sha stood up, then he suddenly pointed at Mo Wuji and said, "Venerable envoy, this person is called Mo Wuji, sect head of Ping Fan. A few days ago, he brought Ping Fan and destroyed my Great Sword Path. He led to the slaughter of countless of disciples and snatched all of my Great Sword Path''s immortal mountains and resources. With such a tyrant in the Immortal World, the Immortal World would no longer be peaceful. I plead the venerable envoy to seek justice for my Great Sword Path, as well as the Immortal World." Sharphorn Immortal Garden instantly went silent. The news of Mo Wuji destroying the Great Sword Path was only known by a few powerful sects; most sects did not know about this matter. Now that it was being publicly announced, many of them felt a chill in their bones. What kind of sect was the Great Sword Path? It was one of the top sects in the entire Immortal World. The sect churned out outstanding talents in the Sword Dao that were almost undefeatable amongst others on the same stage. Such a sect was actually destroyed. Kui Fengyun started to shudder; he finally understood what was amiss. Mo Wuji was even able to destroy the Great Sword Path. There was no wonder why Mo Wuji wasn''t afraid of a mere Heavenly Emperor like him. Fortunately, he was cautious and he didn''t go to Ping Fan. Otherwise, he would have died without even knowing what killed him. Even though the Heavenly Emperors of the Immortal Domains were protected by the Very High Heavens, Kui Fengyun no longer dared to tangle with Mo Wuji. He even started to have some regrets for not investigating Mo Wuji before antagonising him just now. However, he promptly calmed down. Even if he didn''t step out just now, his feud with Mo Wuji wouldn''t have vanished. The representatives from Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School also hurriedly stepped out. They bowed simultaneously and said, "We plead the venerable envoy to seek justice for us." "What''s the matter with the two of you?" Jin Yu started to frown. He didn''t want to care about such matters; such matters really had nothing to do with him. He only cared about whether he could procure news regarding the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. However, he also knew that as a venerable envoy, he would have to deal with such issues. The representative from the Lightning Sect was an early stage Immortal Emperor. He hastily ran through the conflict between Mo Wuji and the Lightning Sect, then he proceeded to say that either his Lightning Sect or the Vast Ocean Immortal School was Mo Wuji''s next target. Jin Yu nodded and turned to Mo Wuji, "Sect Head Mo, is that the truth?" Mo Wuji didn''t have many concerns. He could tell that Jin Yu didn''t really have much interest towards their conflict, "Answering the venerable envoy, the cause for this situation was because the Great Sword Path''s Yi Minghu, the Lightning Sect''s Lei Guyun and the Vast Ocean Immortal School''s Jin Yusheng joined forces to attack me. It was due to my good luck that I was able to escape with my life. When they saw me escape, they caught my innocent senior sister and threw her into the deadly Sword Prison. How could I not take my revenge?" Since the Great Kun Buddhist Sect didn''t make any allegations, Mo Wuji didn''t drag them in. Seeing the venerable envoy sink into contemplation, Wu Mei also wanted to charge out. However, she was immediately sealed by a powerful force. She heard her sect head transmit to her, "Wu Mei, you might not want to live, but my Immortal Universe Sword School does." Even before Wu Mei could answer, Qu Cang continued transmitting, "I know what you want to say. But no matter what your treasure was, if you talk about it now, you would never get it back. And that Mo Wuji only needs to hand the treasure over to the Very High Heavens and nothing would happen to him. Think about it, that Mo Wuji was even able to destroy the Great Sword Path, you think that he can''t destroy my Immortal Universe Sword School? Now, look at the venerable envoy. Do you think that he would get rid of Mo Wuji simply because of what happened to the Great Sword Path?" These words were like ice water pouring over Wu Mei''s head; she instantly woke up. It was exactly as Qu Cang said, she did indeed want to reveal the matter of Mo Wuji stealing her treasure. She even wanted to reveal what her treasure was. Even if she couldn''t get it back, Mo Wuji should forget about having them. But now that she heard her sect head''s words, she understood the consequences and importance behind her words. Firstly, she would still have some hope of recovering the treasures if they were left with Mo Wuji. If the Very High Heavens took her treasures, then all hope would be gone. Secondly, if the Very High Heavens took the treasures, Mo Wuji was likely to destroy her Immortal Universe Sword School to vent his anger. If it was before this, she definitely wouldn''t have considered such prospects. But now that she heard that the Great Sword Path had been destroyed by Mo Wuji, then it really wasn''t a difficult thing for Mo Wuji to destroy her Immortal Universe Sword School as well. "Both parties are wrong in this matter. Our Immortal World places much importance on harmony. I hope that nothing similar would happen again. Sect Head Mo, let this matter rest. Don''t continue to act against Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School," Jin Yu said calmly. Chapter 737: Spider Threads And Horse Tracks Chapter 737: Spider Threads And Horse Tracks Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations For an envoy like him, it didn''t really matter to him that Ping Fan had taken over the Great Sword Path. At the very least, it doesn''t clash with his interests. Naturally, he wouldn''t offend an up and coming sect just because of a destroyed one. Mo Wuji had originally intended to conveniently destroy the Lightning Sect on his way back after this meeting. But now that the Very High Heavens'' envoy had expressed such words, Mo Wuji knew that it was impossible. It would have to wait till his power reaches a certain level. By that time, he wouldn''t need to care too much about this envoy''s words. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said modestly, "Since the Venerable Envoy has said it, my Ping Fan will naturally adhere to your words. As long as the Lightning Sect and the Vast Ocean Immortal School doesn''t proactively challenge my Ping Fan, I would not lay hands on them without reason." Everyone here could tell that Mo Wuji wasn''t genuinely laying his hands off. He was only stating a premise for his actions. What if there was a reason for him? Since the others could deduce that, Jin Yu was also naturally able to understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji''s words. He smiled faintly and thought in his heart: "This Mo Wuji is truly a figure.". Actually, this Mo Wuji was actually on his list. At such a young age, Mo Wuji had reached the level of a Tier 8 Pill Emperor; he was definitely a fella with his own secrets. As for the destruction of the Great Sword Path, how could he, Jin Yu, not have heard about it? Even though he had always been guarding the entrance of the Broken World''s fourth level, he would still be notified of such incidents. It was exactly because Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, coupled with this fact that Mo Wuji established a sect capable of destroying the Great Sword Path, that he chose to specially invite Mo Wuji here. Originally, he wanted to ask around about Mo Wuji, then use an opportunity to get to know Mo Wuji. He never expected that Huang Sha would immediately make an allegation against Mo Wuji; so he had to act professionally without private interests. "Alright, since that''s the case, this matter shall come to an end. Huang Sha, it''s truly a tragedy that your sect was destroyed. How about this, you will follow me back to the Very High Heavens. I hope that when you get a chance to return to the Immortal World, you can rebuild the Great Sword Path." Jin Yu didn''t persecute Mo Wuji, nor did he throw Huang Sha down a well. Not only was he going to bring Huang Sha up to the Very High Heavens, he was even allowing Huang Sha to rebuild the Great Sword Path. "Yes. Huang Sha will follow according to the envoy''s orders." Huang Sha bowed respectfully, then he went to stand behind Jin Yu. Mo Wuji''s heart suddenly went cold. A thought suddenly came to him. It was possible that this Huang Sha never intended for this envoy to help the Great Sword Path take revenge. Huang Sha probably knew that such a hope wasn''t realistic. Thus, the reason why he came forward was so that he could enter the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji turned to look at Huang Sha; Huang Sha stood there with his low brows and sunken eyes, seeming as though he wasn''t much of a thinker. However, Mo Wuji suddenly felt that this fella was slightly scary. The Very High Heavens did not select cultivators above the Immortal King Stage to enter. In theory, Huang Sha shouldn''t have the opportunity to enter the Very High Heavens. But now that he raised the matter of the destruction of his Great Sword Path, Jin Yu had to find some way to account and compensate him. And the only thing that he could give Huang Sha was the opportunity to go to the Very High Heavens. After all, Huang Sha was the only person left in the entire Great Sword Path. In other words, all this was planned by Huang Sha. At this moment, Jin Yu turned back to the crowd and smiled, "The Broken World''s fourth level has been open for quite some time. During this time, we have selected a large number of outstanding disciples. These disciples will follow me back to the Very High Heavens." A wave of loud applause resounded. Clearly, many sects had disciples that were selected. Jin Yu continued, "I will be leaving for the Very High Heavens soon. However, there''s one thing that leaves me in regret - the Red Karmic Fire Lotus." As he got here, Jin Yu''s gaze swept across the crowd and his tone turned slow, "The matter regarding the Red Karmic Fire Lotus is very important. Perhaps many of you do not understand this, but our Immortal World is not a safe and stable cultivation haven. It is true that our Very High Heavens has multiple times the amount of cultivation resources as the Immortal World, but the reason for this is because the Very High Heavens is protecting the Immortal World from all sorts of external instabilities." "May I ask the Venerable Envoy, is this the reason for the recent selection of disciples?" Someone asked carefully. This person had a relatively close friend that was selected to enter the Very High Heavens. Thus, he wanted to find out whether it was dangerous. Jin Yu answered apathetically, "I know what you''re implying. I''m telling you now, these genius disciples are still unable to be of help to the Very High Heavens. They are only the reserve force of the Very High Heavens. Our experts will be the ones who deal with these outside invaders, but our experts will also fall. If there''s no one to take over, then the Very High Heavens would eventually be devoured." As he got here, Jin Yu''s tone turned icy cold, "And you think that the Immortal World will continue to survive if the Very High Heavens is gone? In the face of danger, training to be strong is the most realistic option. Of course, everyone doesn''t need to be pessimistic; our Very High Heavens has always had the upper hand. Now, it isn''t outsiders who are invading us, but us who are invading the outsiders." When they heard this, the crowd seemed to get excited. Jin Yu''s volume also raised significantly, "At the same time, I have something extremely important to share with everyone." The garden went pitch silent, it seemed like even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone was focused on this important matter that the envoy was going to share. Jin Yu''s tone had eased as he said, "At this current moment, the strongest expert in our entire Immortal World is our Dao Emperor Changluo. His cultivation has already passed the boundaries of the Grand Emperor Stage and he has entered a whole new level." Everyone here knows of Dao Emperor Changluo, he was the ruler of the Very High Heavens, as well as the Immortal World - Zi Changluo. "But what I''m going to tell everyone is: Even though the resources in the Very High Heavens is staggeringly higher than in the Immortal World, and even though the immortal spiritual energy is boundless, Dao Emperor Changluo is no longer able to take another step forward in his cultivation." "Why?" Someone asked subconsciously. Jin Yu sighed and said, "It''s because we are being restricted by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth and the Cosmos; we are being constrained by the Heavenly Daos. Our only hope is to charge out of this part of the world and enter a world that is of a higher level. However, we aren''t able to do that as the outside of our Immortal World is being guarded by many alien tribes. But if we aren''t able to leave this place, then we will only be able to reach that level. If those other tribes are able to find a much higher world and become stronger, then our Immortal World will face its end." Voices and murmurs could be heard among the crowd. Anyone that could come here was a stellar figure of the Immortal World. None of them felt that Jin Yu was lying; after all, there was no need to lie about such matters. Jin Yu sighed, "The Red Karmic Fire Lotus has been taken by someone. However, what I''m going to tell you is that it would be useless even if you take the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, it would be useless. No matter how high your talent is, you would never be able to go beyond the Immortal Emperor Stage. The reason why I''m looking for the Red Karmic Fire Lotus isn''t for myself, it is for Dao Emperor Changluo to continue guarding the Very High Heavens. If anyone hands over the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, I promise, right here, that one of the ten great God Stage Cultivation Holylands of the Very High Heavens will be yours. No matter how great your talent is, we will assure that you will advance to the Grand Emperor Stage. I, Jin Yu, swear¡­" Everyone in the crowd inhaled a breath of cold air. The number of Grand Emperors in the Immortal World could be counted in one''s fingers, and everyone one of them is a regional tyrant. Even if one obtains the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, he might not necessarily be able to advance to the Grand Emperor Stage. Thus, this promise of Jin Yu''s was a promise of countless of amazing treasures. Jin Yu''s gaze swept across the crowd and his tone became more impassioned, "If you don''t have the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, but you share the whereabouts of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, you would also be able to obtain one of the God Stage Cultivation Holylands, and you would also be promised the advancement into the Grand Emperor Stage. Additionally, you would obtain a crystal ball containing the dao insights of Dao Emperor Changluo." At this point, most of the crowd''s eyes had turned red. However, what left Jin Yu disappointed was that no one came forward to say anything even as time passed. Jin Yu was reluctant to accept this. He was sure that the immortal that took the Red Karmic Fire Lotus possessed a peak grade world. That world exceeded the quality of a mere pocket dimension, and it was a world that might even be able to sustain life. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to not detect the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. "Venerable Envoy, I have some information but I''m not sure if it will be of use." A long-faced Grand Luo Immortal stood forward and said respectfully. "Hurry," Jin Yu promptly replied, excitement could be seen in his eyes This Grand Luo Immortal''s tone was especially respectful as he said, "Back when we entered the fourth level of the Broken World, I saw two low levelled cultivators fleeing in the direction of the weakest immortal spiritual energy. Back then, I didn''t pay too much attention to it. After all, their cultivations were very low; so they naturally wouldn''t want to compete with the others. However, when I heard that the Red Karmic Fire Lotus appeared at where the immortal spiritual energy was weakest, I started to have my suspicions." When Mo Wuji heard this, his heart immediately sank. This fella was definitely talking about Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong. If this fella was able to sketch the appearance of the two of them, then they were screwed. Even if his Ping Fan was any stronger, it could not resist the Very High Heavens, at least for now. This Grand Luo Immortal wasn''t sure, but as a Grand Emperor, Jin Yu had a 90% certainty that those two low levelled cultivators were the ones that took the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Jin Yu forcefully calmed himself down and tried to slow his speech, "Draw a detailed sketch of these two people. Don''t make a single mistake. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, you will be rewarded." This Grand Luo Immortal said fearfully, "This junior must apologize. Back then, I was aiming to obtain many treasures and I didn''t pay those two people much heed. Thus, I didn''t really notice their appearance. I only know that one of them was a man, and the other a woman. The man seemed relatively thin, while the woman was slender and tall. Her long hair was tied in a bun¡­" As he got here, this Grand Luo Immortal stopped talking as he tried to recall exactly what the two looked like. Many of the others in Sharphorn Immortal Garden thought that this was logical. With the fourth level of the Broken World just opening, who would care about anyone else? Everyone would frantically head towards where the spiritual energy was rich and try to fight for treasures. It was already relatively observant for this Grand Luo Immortal to notice two low levelled ants heading in the direction of the weakest spiritual energy. Chapter 738: Empress Wen Lan Chapter 738: Empress Wen Lan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After digging through his memories, this Grand Luo Immortal was finally able to sketch the backs of Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong. When he saw the sketch, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. This Grand Luo Immortal''s memories were clearly not accurate, as the similarity between his sketch and the actual people were very low. Jin Yu scanned through this sketch, nodded towards this Grand Luo Immortal and said, "You can follow me to the Very High Heavens." Thereafter, he turned back and faced the crowd in Sharphorn Immortal Garden, "There''s still a few days till I leave. If anyone has news of these two people, you can come and find me. Of course, there''s still a third reason why I gathered everyone here, that is the Very High Heavens has decided to sell six Emperor Dao Pills¡­" The moment Jin Yu uttered these words, the atmosphere in Sharphorn Immortal Garden finally reached a high. Almost every one of them seemed to be engaged on a discussion, and all of them had a hint of desire in their eyes. Emperor Dao Pills, a Tier 9 immortal pill. It''s said that this pill was concocted from the Emperor Dao Fruit and many other top-grade immortal herbs. What was the Emperor Dao Fruit? It was the supreme immortal fruit that could help a Quasi-Emperor to verify his Emperor Dao and advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage. In the Immortal World, the highest you could cultivate to was the Immortal Emperor Stage. Even a Grand Emperor was still an Immortal Emperor. Moreover, the Emperor Dao Pill was far more valuable than the Emperor Dao Fruit. Even though the success rate through the Emperor Dao Fruit wasn''t that high, using the Emperor Dao Pill increases that success rate by an entire fold. And was the Emperor Dao Pill something that any random person could concoct? No, it required Tier 9 Pill Emperors. It was unknown how many Tier 9 Pill Emperors there were in the Very High Heavens, but everyone knew that there wasn''t any Tier 9 Pill Emperors in the Immortal World. It''s said that the person with the highest standards in the Pill Dao in the Immortal World was the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Alliance Head Xiao Lishi. Besides him, there was the Mo Wuji of rumours. It was widely known that Xiao Lishi was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, but it was only rumored in the case of Mo Wuji. Obtaining an Emperor Dao Pill was something that all cultivators wished for. Even Mo Wuji was slightly excited. He didn''t have the same desires to use the Emperor Dao Pill to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage. He simply wanted an Emperor Dao Pill so he could obtain the pill formula from it. Obtaining the pill formula just from a single pill sounds very exaggerated, but it was not impossible for Mo Wuji. He had the elemental storage channel, the spirit storage channel, and even the dao revelation channel. With these three types of meridians, he was able to achieve heights that no one else could. With these three types of meridians, he could do things no one else could ever do. Mo Wuji also sighed with emotion. Even though he was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, it did not seem to have caused a stir within the Very High Heavens. So it turns out that the Very High Heavens had Tier 9 Pill Emperors. Jin Yu waved his hands, gesturing for the crowd to quieten down. Then he said, "There are three ways to obtain the Emperor Dao Pills. The first way is to provide the whereabouts of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus or of that man and woman that fled in the direction of the weakest immortal spiritual energy back at the fourth level. The second way is an exchange with a Void Nirvana Root. The third way is an exchange with some peak grade materials or treasures. Any immortal friend with one, two or more peak grade immortal spiritual veins can also be considered for an exchange." The crowd all went silent. Among the three ways, only the first way where they had to find that man and woman was relatively simple. As for the other two, weren''t they equivalent to staring at a flower through a fog? The Void Nirvana Root was something even more precious than an Emperor Dao Fruit; who would exchange it away? As for the peak grade immortal spiritual vein, even a single one of it was an existence of legend, what more two? Lastly, for the peak grade materials or treasures, there was no need to talk too much about it. Mo Wuji had many good things on him, such as the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow, the primal fire crystals the primal water crystals, etc. However, he did not want to trade away even a single one of them. If any of these items are exposed, nothing good would happen to him. "Senior Brother Mo, I was previously worried for you. I didn''t think that you would actually be the sect head of Ping Fan." Just when Mo Wuji was still wondering how he could obtain an Emperor Dao Fruit, Shen Muqing came to his side. "Thank you." Mo Wuji smiled; he knew that Shen Muqing was genuinely worried for him. "Big Brother Mo, my sect''s ancestor wants to meet you. Are you free? It''s just that my ancestor is not in the garden, but in Sharphorn Immortal Resthouse," Shen Muqing asked nervously. Mo Wuji looked at the six jade vases in front of Jin Yu and a sense of regret arose in his heart. Since he was unwilling to offer anything good, he naturally wouldn''t be able to obtain the Emperor Dao Pill. Since he wasn''t able to obtain it, Mo Wuji directly cast that thought aside, "I''m free. Since that''s the case, I would have to request Junior Sister Muqing to lead the way." Almost everyone in Sharphorn Immortal Garden was staring at the Emperor Dao Pills. Except for some of Mo Wuji''s most hated enemies, no one really noticed that Mo Wuji left. Jin Yu also saw Mo Wuji leave, but he didn''t really place too much importance on it. ¡­ Sharphorn Immortal Resthouse was considered one of the most luxurious resthouses in Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. When they arrived, Shen Muqing directly brought Mo Wuji and co. to the most luxurious room. Even though Mo Wuji was the sect head of Ping Fan, him and Wei Zidao weren''t able to find a place to stay ever since they arrived at Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. On the other hand, Shen Muqing''s ancestor might not have arrived earlier than him, but she was able to stay in one of the best rooms of one of the most luxurious resthouses. This was the difference between sects. However, once the news of Ping Fan destroying the Great Sword Path spreads, Mo Wuji would no longer need to worry about not being able to find a place to stay. "Ancestor, Big Brother Mo is here." Shen Muqing said respectfully at the door. Mo Wuji saw that there were two people sitting in the room. Right in front of him, there was a young looking woman. Her looks were ordinary, but she gave off an otherworldly impression. Mo Wuji could guess that this young woman was Shen Muqing''s ancestor. By the side, there was a strong and sturdy man. His hair and beard were white, his eyes were extremely sharp, and his dao aura was intense. Mo Wuji''s eyes constricted; this fella could be more powerful than Wei Zidao. Shen Muqing also didn''t seem to know this white-haired, muscular man. She also wasn''t able to discern this man''s power; so she simply stood by the side after a simple greeting. That young woman''s gaze only swept across Mo Wuji and co. briefly before she stood up and smiled, "I''ve long heard of Pill Emperor Mo''s illustrious name. Seeing you today, I realise that you truly deserve your reputation." Mo Wuji''s aura was indistinct, even Jin Yu couldn''t accurately discern Mo Wuji''s true cultivation. However, Mo Wuji felt that this young girl was actually able to see through his cultivation; this left him feeling rather shocked. Before Mo Wuji could say anything, this young woman turned and smiled towards Wei Zidao, "This should be the famous Rogue Emperor Wei Zidao. Everyone, please take a seat." Wei Zidao hurriedly returned the courtesy, "Zidao greets Fairy Wen Lan." Even though Wei Zidao also recognised the white-haired man, but since the other party didn''t stand up, he couldn''t be bothered to greet that fella. So what if this fella''s status was higher than his? He was also an esteemed Grand Emperor. On the other hand, Immortal Empress Wen Lan was not simple. If they were to really calculate, she would be Wei Zidao''s senior. Before Wei Zidao even realised his Emperor Dao, she had already established the Waterfall Immortal Sect. "Mo Wuji greets Senior Wen Lan." Mo Wuji also clasped his fists. Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s reputation was like a thunder piercing the ear. As a person who could seek the Dao from a waterfall, how high must her talent and perception be? Moreover, she was a senior but she still stood up to greet him. He didn''t dare to show any disrespect. As for that white-haired man, Mo Wuji could tell that he was staggeringly powerful, but Mo Wuji wouldn''t pay respects to such a rude fella. By Mo Wuji''s side, Tian Nini also hurriedly bowed in courtesy, "Tian Nini greets Senior Wen Lan." Since Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao didn''t greet that white-haired man, she naturally followed suit. Immortal Empress Wen Lan laughed. After waiting for Mo Wuji and co. to sit down, she said, "Let me introduce all of you; this here is Mahesvara Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor Zizai." Hearing Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s introduction, Heavenly Emperor Zizai responded with an ''En'' and nodded towards Mo Wuji and co., seemingly not fussing over Mo Wuji''s previous lack of greetings. Mo Wuji secretly raised his wariness. He had heard of Mahesvara Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor Luo Zizai before. Sharphorn Immortal Ruins used to be part of Mahesvara Immortal Domain, but because this Heavenly Emperor Zizai was only interested in his cultivation, and was totally disinterested in such affairs, Sharphorn Immortal Ruins gradually branched off and became an independent immortal city. It was enough for him to simply be more careful; Mo Wuji wasn''t going to be overly cautious. He had seen more than his fair share of Grand Emperors; there was even one right beside him. He had also seen several Heavenly Emperors before. When it comes to status, he was the sect head of Ping Fan, and he was also a Tier 8 Pill Emperor; so his status was no lower than this Heavenly Emperor Zizai. "Pill Emperor Mo, actually Heavenly Emperor Zizai and I were just at Sharphorn Immortal Garden¡­" Mo Wuji''s heart chilled. He had also been in Sharphorn Immortal Garden, but he actually didn''t notice these two people. Clearly, these peak grade experts all had their own experts; if they didn''t want to be discovered, even he wouldn''t be able to notice them. "Because I saw you in Sharphorn Immortal Garden, I decided to ask Muqing to bring you here," Immortal Empress Wen Lan said in a warm and gentle tone. "Senior, please speak." Mo Wuji knew that a well known Immortal Empress like Wen Lan definitely wouldn''t merely call him over to shower him with praises. Immortal Empress Wen Lan seemed very appreciative of Mo Wuji''s straightforward attitude. She continued calmly, "I tried to sense your cultivation and your talent. What left me shocked was that I had no means of finding out where your legacy came from. Moreover, I also didn''t have any way to sense your talent¡­" Mo Wuji''s heart jolted; Wen Lan had been observing his talent and cultivation legacy but he didn''t even detect a single thing. If Wen Lan wanted to act against him, wouldn''t he have no means of resistance? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji''s heart turned cold. He was a supreme Immortal King, how could his disparity with Wen Lan be so huge? Chapter 739: The Pillars Of The Immortal World Chapter 739: The Pillars Of The Immortal World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Seemingly noticing Mo Wuji''s shock, Wen Lan hurriedly explained, "I am relatively sensitive to the dao changes in the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. I am even able to faintly detect the dao aura of those stronger than me. That waterfall of Immortal World has been cascading for countless of years, but I''m still able to sense the origins of the waterfall and gain enlightenment of a Grand Dao which belongs solely to me. Today, that waterfall has already become my magic treasure." Mo Wuji only knew that Immortal Empress Wen Lan had gained enlightenment from a waterfall. However, he didn''t know that the Immortal World really had a waterfall, and that waterfall had even become Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s magic treasure. Regardless, he could tell that Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s talent was frighteningly amazing. When Immortal Empress Wen Lan finished speaking, she formed an arc with her hand and a silver river began to form and cascade in midair. Even though the silver river was only a mini-version of the actual thing, Mo Wuji could still feel the vast and majestic aura, as well as the boundless natural energy, from within. This river seemed to descend from the Heavens and fall towards nothingness. With just a single glance, Mo Wuji felt that he had a whole new idea for his Winding River. His Winding River had a river''s appearance, but it lacked a river''s origins. At the same time, it was lacking that boundless dao aura and spirit. This enlightenment brought Mo Wuji''s understanding towards his Winding River up by a level. He even contemplated on using his Winding River now to see how powerful his surging Winding River could be. Back then, his Winding River was unable to block Lei Hongji''s 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. But now, he believed that if all else remained the same (ceteris paribus), with his new insights on Winding River, he would be able to match Lei Hongji''s 30,000 Catty Lightning Hammer. Immortal Empress Wen Lan kept her waterfall, smiled and looked at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji stood up and bowed towards Immortal Empress Wen Lan, "Senior, many thanks for your pointers. Junior has learnt much." Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s waterfall also contains the Dao of Natural Beings. Mo Wuji''s insights weren''t simply on the Winding River alone. At this point, if Mo Wuji still didn''t know that Immortal Empress intended to give him some guidance, then he would truly be an idiot. Wen Lan said gently, "I heard that you had a river-type sacred art, so I brought out my waterfall for you to gain insights on. Actually, we share many similar points on the Dao. My Dao is based on the enlightenment from the natural beings under the Heaven and Earth, while your Dao seems more ordinary. Everyone knows that using the more ordinary your Dao is, the less simple it becomes." "Junior is blushing in shame. Back in Sharphorn Immortal Garden, Junior actually didn''t notice that Senior was observing me," Mo Wuji was really embarrassed when he said this. Wen Lan laughed, "That''s because our Daos are similar. Moreover, your attention was focused on the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance''s Xiao Lishi and the Unfettered Emperor Palace''s Lun Cai. Additionally, I didn''t have any malicious intentions, so you wouldn''t notice that I was observing you." "Senior, please tell me why you''ve called me here." Mo Wuji doubts had been cleared, and he even gained some benefits from Immortal Empress Wen Lan. Thus, he didn''t beat around the bush as he directly asked Immortal Empress Wen Lan why she had called him here. Immortal Empress Wen Lan suddenly asked, "Does Pill Emperor Mo know that the Very High Heavens has dropped their standards in their recent selection of disciples, and the standards have even dropped to an unimaginable level? Previously, the Very High Heavens didn''t care much about the resources of the Immortal World, but why are they suddenly so desperate for the immortal herbs in the Broken World?" "Junior is foolish. Senior, please shed light on this issue. Also, Senior can directly call me by Wuji. I don''t dare deserve the address of ''Pill Emperor''." Immortal Empress Wen Lan had given him many benefits; so Mo Wuji was rather respectful towards Wen Lan. "That''s fine. And if Wuji doesn''t mind, you can call me Senior Sister. Your future achievements would vastly exceed mine; so there''s no need to call me senior." The way Wen Lan spoke left Mo Wuji feeling at ease; she was also very straightforward. Only such sincere and genuine words would give Mo Wuji comfort. Otherwise, this conversation would not last more than three sentences before Mo Wuji would take his leave. Thereafter, Wen Lan continued, "There''s an unforeseen situation in the Very High Heavens. Even though Jin Yu''s words were slightly flashy, they were not entirely untrue. The Very High Heavens'' piece of land should be coveted by some alien tribe, and that alien tribe wants to occupy this territory. Currently, it seems like the Very High Heavens still occupies the upper hand." "Then why did the Very High Heavens lower their standards and accepted so many genius disciples of the Immortal World?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. He had a reason to be worried. Wen Hou was a man of his Ping Fan, and he knew that Wen Lianxi was likely to be accepted to the Very High Heavens. If the Very High Heavens had malicious intentions towards their disciples, then he would find ways to get Wen Lianxi to Ping Fan. Wen Lan didn''t directly answer Mo Wuji''s question, but asked, "I wonder if Wuji has heard of the Dao Study of Changes?" "I''ve heard of it. I even know of a person called Bai Ye. His abilities in divination are very strong, he should be learnt in Dao Study of Changes," Mo Wuji hurriedly replied. "It''s true that Bai Ye is strong in the art of divination. However, his abilities are largely due to that eight trigrams treasure of his. He really can''t be considered a true expert in the the Dao of Changes. In the Immortal World, the true expert in the prophecy of change is Mahesvara Immortal Domain''s Immortal Friend Zizai. Immortal Friend Zizai has already brought Dao Study of Changes to a whole new level." Mo Wuji and co. finally came to an understanding. So it turns out this Luo Zizai was also an expert in the Dao Study of Change. Immortal Empress Wen Lan sighed, "According to the divination of Immortal Friend Zizai, the Immortal World is, once again, going to face a collapse. It''s even worse than when the ten Immortal Domains were reduced to the seven Immortal Domains and the broken Underworld." Mo Wuji glanced at Luo Zizai in shock. So this fella was disinterested in running Mahesvara Immortal Domain, and only be immersed in his cultivation, because of the impending collapse of the Immortal World. "This time, the Immortal World''s calamity will be due to the Very High Heavens, because the Very High Heavens have offended an existence that should never have been offended. After the Very High Heavens fall, the Immortal World will be next. Of course, even if the Very High Heavens do no offend that existence, that existence will still come for us. This time, the Very High Heavens intend to accept many disciples and send all of them to death training in the Gods Remnant Domain¡­" Mo Wuji''s heart jolted as he hurriedly asked, ''What do you mean by death training in the Gods Remnant Domain?" Immortal Empress replied in a slightly pained voice, "The Gods Remnant Domain is rumoured to be a remnant of a battlefield of the Gods World. It''s filled with all sorts of danger, but it''s also filled with all sorts of dao insights. Usually, the chances of death for those that enter are 60% and above. One must know that the Very High Heavens usually send their disciples to train in the Gods Remnant Domain for one to three years. But in the coming death training, the Very High Heavens intend to seal the Gods Remnant Domain and only allow the disciples that survive ten years to emerge. Of course, the disciples that survive are likely to be able to enjoy the Very High Heavens'' ten great God Stage Cultivation Holylands. Haiz, but the Gods Remnant Domain is truly terrifying. After ten years, probably only 1 out of 10 disciples would survive. This time, the Very High Heavens seem to have chosen all the peak geniuses of our Immortal World. If all of them die, then what would be the future of the Immortal World? Many years from now, the Very High Heavens would be destroyed. And when the alien tribes invade our Immortal World, there wouldn''t be a single person that can lead a resistance." "Isn''t there still that 10% of disciples? Being able to survive the Gods Remnant Domain, that 10% should be very impressive, wouldn''t they?" Wei Zidao asked doubtfully. Immortal Empress shook her head slowly, "Immortal Friend Zidao only knows one side of the issue. This 10% of cultivators that survive would be sent to cultivate in the cultivation holylands to train for a period of time. Then, they would directly be drafted for war with the alien tribes. To the Very High Heavens, only those that shower in blood would become true experts. Among these cultivators that get sent for war, not even 10% of them would survive. The experts that emerge are forged in exchange for blood and energy of the Immortal World." Mo Wuji was silent and speechless. After some time, he said, "Even though I know that Senior Sister is right, my abilities are limited. I''m unable to prevent such a thing." Immortal Empress Wen Lan explained, "Wuji, I''m not asking you to prevent it. Even though the Very High Heavens still occupies the upper hand in the battle now, they also know that if the key people don''t step forward, the Very High Heavens and the Immortal World will ultimately fall. The Very High Heavens also have their experts in Dao Study of Changes. They have prophecised that there are two very important people for the future of the Very High Heavens and the Immortal World." At this point, even Wei Zidao had a serious expression on his face. He definitely didn''t think that Immortal Empress Wen Lan was speaking without proper reasons, "Fairy Wen Lan is saying that the Very High Heavens have deduced the people that will defend the Immortal World and the Very High Heavens?" These definitely weren''t words of superstition and lies; the Heavenly Dao was filled destinies. If the Immortal Dao doesn''t go extinct, then there would definitely be people to hold up the cauldron of the dynasty. Immortal Empress Wen Lan was also serious as she said, "Yes, it''s one man and one woman. The future of the Immortal World lies on the two of them. The man is called Lei Hongji, while the woman is called Ji Yue. What surprises me is that Ji Yue''s talent seems to be very low." When Wen Lan said this, she frowned. Mo Wuji suddenly came to an understanding. There was no wonder why he heard that Lei Hongji and Ji Yue had been viewed highly by Jin Yu. "Senior Sister Wen Lan, this isn''t really possible, right?" Mo Wuji frowned and asked. It wasn''t that he didn''t believe in Lei Hongji''s and Ji Yue''s capabilities, but he knew what kind of people the two of them were. Whether it was Lei Hongji or Ji Yue, they were both extremely selfish people. He didn''t believe that such selfish people would become the pillar of support for the Immortal World. If the Immortal World was going to be destroyed, and Lei Hongji and Ji Yue were given the opportunity to go to a better world, Mo Wuji was sure that the two of them would not hesitate to go. Wen Lan answered with a straight face, "Yes. This was also prophecised by Immortal Friend Zizai. The Immortal World indeed rests on their shoulders. Today, I have invited you for two reasons. The first reason is to ask you about Lei Hongji. You seem to know Lei Hongji?" "Senior Sister Wen Lan, how do you know that I know Lei Hongji?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. Wen Lan smiled faintly and she answered, "During your huge battle with Lei Hongji in the fourth level of the Broken World, Muqing was there. She recorded the battle down. Even though it was rather hazy, Muqing still recognised you." Mo Wuji sighed. No wonder why Immortal Empress Wen Lan knew of his Winding River. So it was because of this. Chapter 740: Rejection Chapter 740: Rejection Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji answered, "Senior Sister Wen Lan, I do know Lei Hongji. This person''s talent is something that I respect greatly. At the very least, he is much better than me¡­" "Wuji, how do you know that Lei Hongji''s talent is better than yours? To be honest, I might not be able to see through your talent and legacy, but I do know that there are few in the Immortal World that can compare with you in the Immortal World. Otherwise, you wouldn''t be able to step into the Immortal King Stage at such a young age. As for Lei Hongji, he could only be as good as you at the most. He hasn''t even entered the Immortal King Stage." Immortal Empress Wen Lan didn''t even wait for Mo Wuji to finish speaking before she interjected curiously. Mo Wuji was also rather speechless. To compare Lei Hongji''s talent with his was already overestimating him immensely. There was no need to talk about Lei Hongji, any random cultivator would have a stronger talent than him. Because he didn''t even have any innate talents; he was a person without spiritual roots. By the side, Shen Muqing''s heart was increasingly filled with shock. Back then, she knew that Mo Wuji was not simple. Her guess turned out to be right; how could Mo Wuji be simple? Even Nine Star Geniuses were nothing in front of Mo Wuji. And that Nai He, her origins were great, but she was still helpless back in the transfer tower to the Broken World because of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was a Pill Emperor, so it would already be enough to blow her mind if he was also a Grand Luo Immortal. But now, it turns out that Mo Wuji was actually an Immortal King. She, Shen Muqing, was an esteemed Seven Star Genius, but when comparing her cultivation speed against Mo Wuji''s, it was simply too hard to watch. She suddenly thought of Murong Xiangyu. That woman had eyes but she was blind, she actually dumped such a genius like Mo Wuji and decided to court some trash instead. If it was her, she might even be able to protect her chastity in front of Mo Wuji¡­ When Shen Muqing thought of this, she secretly glanced at Mo Wuji. Her heart went blank; she knew that her looks were not bad, but it was difficult for her to get into Mo Wuji''s heart. As Shen Muqing had this dialogue in her head, she didn''t know that Murong Xiangyu''s cultivation was even higher than Mo Wuji. That person was an Immortal King a long time ago. By now, she might even already be in the intermediate Immortal King Stage. Mo Wuji explained honestly, "I was only able to enter the Immortal King Stage because of my good fortune. Lei Hongji''s age is not much higher than me, but his cultivation speed is much faster than mine. I suspect that if not for the fourth level of the Broken World, he would have already stepped into the Immortal King Stage. Since that''s the case, he would have definitely advanced to the Immortal King Stage the moment he leaves the Broken World. The reason why I understand so much about him is because we came from the same cultivation world." "So that''s the case. Continue speaking." Immortal Empress Wen Len nodded. Wei Zidao''s heart was also filled with shock. All this time, he had been wondering whether Mo Wuji had stepped into the Immortal King Stage. It was just that his Dao wasn''t comparable to Immortal Empress Wen Lan; so he wasn''t able to discern Mo Wuji''s true cultivation. Only now, did he finally got to know that Mo Wuji was already in the Immortal King Stage. Clearly, he could see how powerful this sect head of his was. Back then, his sect head wasn''t even in the Immortal King Stage and was already able to lead them out of Sword Prison. Today, this sect head had even established the powerful Ping Fan. Mo Wuji continued, "Lei Hongji is an extremely selfish person. I believe that with his capabilities, he is indeed able to go around unhindered across the entire Immortal World. However, he definitely wouldn''t take up the mantle of protecting the Immortal World. If the fate of the Immortal World rests on such a person''s shoulders, then it would be equivalent to drinking poison to quench a thirst." Mo Wuji was very clear when he said these words. If someone offered a treasure that moved Lei Hongji''s heart, he would not hesitate to betray, or even lead a team to destroy the Immortal World. As for protecting the Immortal World, that''s simply a joke. Immortal Empress Wen Lan laughed gently, "Wuji is thinking too much. If Lei Hongji has the talent and power to defend the Immortal World, then he wouldn''t simply abandon the Immortal World. Because he''s not in that situation, you can only see his innate character. In the Immortal World, everyone has there own character as they pursue the path of cultivation, sometimes, some people would even commit unscrupulous actions. However, when facing a disaster which threatens to destroy one''s home, I believe that any person would know what to do." Immortal Empress Wen Lan didn''t speak any further; she believed that Mo Wuji wouldn''t understand about such things now. Only when one reaches a certain height and stands at a certain position, would one be able to understand such things. It wasn''t simply about reacting to a disaster as she had said; it was a kind of Dao by itself. Lei Hongji obtained his Dao from the Immortal World; so he must defend the Immortal World. Otherwise, he would begin to question his own Dao. Mo Wuji was speechless, but he had no ways of refuting Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s words. Moreover, he had no reason to rebut when he came to such fluffy and hypothetical situations. Originally, he wanted to say that Ji Yue was also a selfish person, but he no longer had the mood to talk about that woman. "Actually, I believe that you, Wuji, are also a person worth training. Unfortunately, the Very High Heavens are far too single-minded in the results of their divination," Immortal Empress Wen Lan sighed and said. Luo Zizai, who had been silent this whole time, suddenly said, "That''s why you are tasting sour grapes because that Lei Hongji dogsh*t luck is better than yours." Mo Wuji jolted; what''s the meaning of this? Why would he taste sour grapes because Lei Hongji had been chosen as the defender of the Immortal World and the Very High Heavens? Moreover, he had no grudges with this Luo Zizai, why must this Luo Zizai be so particular with him? Immortal Empress Wen Lan hurriedly said, "Wuji, don''t take Immortal Friend Zizai''s attitude to heart. One of his good friends is Gui Jiancang." Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding; wasn''t Gui Jiancang the Supreme Elder of the Great Sword Path? In the end, the Great Sword Path was destroyed by him. No wonder why this Heavenly Emperor Zizai was so polar towards him; so this was the reason. "Rest assured. I will not do anything because of the matter with Gui Jiancang. The enmity between sects has nothing to do with me. Since Gui Jiancang is from the Great Sword Path, then he must accept that fate. I was only speaking the truth." Luo Zizai explained himself. Whether he''s speaking the truth or not, no one else knows. Immortal Wen Lan continued to ease the tension, "Wuji, even though Immortal Friend Zizai was joking, what he was saying was the truth. Now that Lei Hongji has been taken away by the Very High Heavens, he would gain access to boundless amounts of cultivation resources. The Very High Heavens have their ten great God Stage Cultivation Holylands, so you can imagine how fast Lei Hongji would overcome all obstacles and stand at the peak. However, I feel that Wuji''s Dao is not simple, Wuji''s talent is also not simple. Thus, I want to use all means that we can to help you step into the Emperor Stage. This is the second reason why I came to find you¡­" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Senior Sister Wen Lan? Didn''t you say that Lei Hongji was the fated defender of the Immortal World? Why do you still want to support me?" Immortal Empress Wen Lan sighed, "Lei Hongji and Ji Yue are going to be nurtured by the Very High Heavens. Even though the Very High Heavens say that this is to protect the Immortal World, there might come a situation where the Very High Heavens can''t even protect themselves. When that happens, they definitely wouldn''t send Lei Hongji and Ji Yue to help the Immortal World. What we''re doing is merely preparing for the worst." Mo Wuji came to an understanding, "Senior Sister Wen Lan, you said you wanted to meet me a few years ago. Could it be due to this as well?" Immortal Empress Wen Lan shook her head, "No. Back then, I only heard that your Pill Dao is startling. Even though the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance has many geniuses in the Pill Dao, none of them really satisfied me. This time, I saw that you were able to match Lei Hongji in a battle. That''s when I discovered that you aren''t only talented in the Pill Dao." Mo Wuji laughed in his heart. Match Lei Hongji in a battle? Lei Hongji was clearly the one that escaped. Immortal Empress Wen Lan seemed to notice Mo Wuji''s thoughts and she said with a stern expression, "Wuji, I have personally met Lei Hongji before. In that battle, you were indeed able to gain the upper hand. However, I am sure that once also Hongji advances to the Immortal King Stage, his power would rise explosively. By then, you would no longer be a match for him. Moreover, he didn''t go all out when fighting you, nor did he use his killer move. You don''t know all that." "Many thanks for Senior Sister Wen Lan''s reminder." Mo Wuji thanked courteously. Even though he still felt that Lei Hongji definitely wasn''t a match for him, he had no need to say it here. Lei Hongji didn''t use his killer move, but did that mean that he did? Even if he was maimed and surrounded, he still had his Wheel of Life and Death. Seeing Mo Wuji''s acceptance, albeit an ingenuine one, Wen Lan said contentedly, "Wuji, there''s a cultivation holyland here which belongs to Immortal Friend Zizai. Besides all sorts of immortal treasures, I can also provide you with a plethora of sacred arts. Thus, you need to go to Mahesvara Immortal Domain to cultivate, and Immortal Friend Zizai''s only condition is for you to take him as your master." When Shen Muqing heard this, she sighed inwardly. She believed that her ancestor wasn''t really cognizant of Mo Wuji''s personality. For one, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t believe that he wouldn''t compare to Lei Hongji after the latter reaches the Immortal King Stage. Secondly, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t accept Luo Zizai as a master. She had interacted with Mo Wuji many times before, she was more knowledgeable than her ancestor on Mo Wuji''s character. Mo Wuji glanced at Luo Zizai, who was currently stroking his beard, and felt speechless. There was no need to talk about how his Ping Fan was also a cultivation holyland. Even if it wasn''t, he still wouldn''t take Luo Zizai as his master. If he were to do that, then what would happen to his Ping Fan? How would Wei Zidao and co. take over? "Many thanks, Senior Sister Wen Lan, I don''t have any intentions of finding a master at this moment." Mo Wuji promptly rejected. He did not have a single shred of hesitation. Immortal Empress Wen Lan startled. In her eyes, any cultivator in the Immortal World did things for the sake of cultivation and cultivation resources. She believed that Mo Wuji established Ping Fan also because of this reason. Even the destruction of Great Sword Path was probably also because of their cultivation resources. Logically, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have rejected her. "Wuji, perhaps I didn''t make things clear. Immortal Friend Zizai''s immortal essence pond is a cultivation holyland no worse than the Very High Heavens'' God Stage Cultivation Holylands; it might even be better. Moreover, on my side, I will provide immortal herbs and treasures. With your talent, it is not impossible for you to step into the Emperor Stage in less than a thousand years," Wen Lan hurriedly explained. Mo Wuji stood up and clasped his fists towards Immortal Empress Wen Lan once more, "Many thanks Senior Sister Wen Lan for your pointers and your kind intentions. At the moment, I don''t have any intentions of finding a master. In the future, if you need any help from Mo Wuji, you only need to send me a message. Wuji will take his leave now." As Mo Wuji bid his farewells, Wei Zidao and Tian Nini also followed suit. "Truly an ignorant kid that doesn''t know how high the Heavens are, nor how deep the Earth is." After Mo Wuji and co. left, Luo Zizai snorted coldly. Chapter 741: Accepting A Disciple Chapter 741: Accepting A Disciple Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t even bother heading back to his pill court and immediately after he left the resthouse, he departed from the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. Both Jin Yu''s current investigation into the matter involving Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong and Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s words made Mo Wuji feel a sense of urgency; the urgency to increase his own strength in the shortest possible time. In fact, Mo Wuji also wished he could return to Ping Fan as soon as possible to warn Wen Hou so that Wen Hou could send a timely message to Wen Lianxi to get her to stay behind. He was aware that even though the criteria to accept disciples were lowered significantly, the Very High Heavens wouldn''t stoop to the extent of forcing someone who was unwilling to join them. As long as Wen Lianxi was unwilling, no matter how talented she was, the Very High Heavens would definitely not force it upon her. After all, there were far too many people interested in entering the Very High Heavens. "Many thanks Brother Mo for telling me who killed my brother," Tian Nini only came over to express her gratitude towards Mo Wuji when they reached the flying ship. Mo Wuji chuckled before handing Tian Nini the storage ring he got from Wu Mei''s hands, "It was simply coincidental that I saw everything. I''m guessing that Wu Mei wanted your brother dead because of the item in the storage ring. I''ve just took a look earlier on and confirmed that the item inside was certainly not simple so I will hand this item back to you." Tian Nini hurried to respond, "I cannot accept all these items because this was retrieved by sect head hence, it would naturally not belong to me. Sect head should keep these items for yourself." Mo Wuji revealed a slight smile, "I believe you still have no idea what was in the storage ring. In fact, even I am extremely interested in these items because with these, I am sure you will be able to step into a much higher realm in the future." Wei Zidao, who was standing by the side, had extreme admiration for Mo Wuji because even though Wei Zidao had no idea what was inside the storage ring, he was certain it was definitely not anything simple or ordinary. This item was retrieved by Mo Wuji and it might not even belong to Tian Nini''s brother but Mo Wuji was actually willing to give it back to Tian Nini. Such extent of magnanimity was not something Wei Zidao could compare himself to. At the thought of this, Wei Zidao sighed in his heart. The extreme difference in principles could very well be the reason why he would never be stronger than Mo Wuji. If he was in Mo Wuji''s shoes, Tian Nini should be extremely grateful for his life saving grace and these items would naturally be kept by himself. Tian Nini replied calmly, "I have ordinary talent and if it wasn''t for a stroke of luck, I wouldn''t have made it into the Grand Yi Immortal Stage. Given my talent, this would be the furthest I could go no matter how hard I work. Therefore, even if sect head gave me peak grade treasures to use, I wouldn''t be able to do much with it." Mo Wuji was shocked because Tian Nini''s sentence had a certain level of truth in it. He could sense that Tian Nini''s spirituality was not very clear and that her talent was indeed very ordinary. If Tian Nini had the items inside Wu Mei''s storage ring, it might even bring harm instead of good to her. "I know sect head is a straightforward and upright man so if sect head doesn''t despise Nini, I, Tian Nini, am willing to take sect head as my master," Tian Nini got on her knees and said with a sincere tone. Mo Wuji responded awkwardly, "With my low cultivation level, I am definitely not worthy to be your master. Since Right Defender Wei is already a Grand Emperor, why don''t you take Right Defender Wei as your master instead?" Tian Nini kneeled on the ground once more, "Nini is willing to take sect head as my master¡­" This made both Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao awkward because after all, Wei Zidao was still an esteemed Grand Emperor. At the sight of this awkward scene, Wei Zidao coughed before saying, "I will take a look at the back of the flying ship." Having said that, Wei Zidao hurried down from the deck as he walked towards the stern of the flying ship. Mo Wuji was also feeling awkward because he certainly didn''t expect this Tian Nini to reject a Grand Emperor as her master¡­ Wait, didn''t she learn this from him earlier on? Minutes ago, he had just rejected the offer of having Luo Zizai as his master. "Tell me why you are so resolute in having me as your master?" Mo Wuji could only ask this question. Tian Nini raised her head and said enthusiastically, "Because I believe Immortal Empress Wen Lan. Back then, Immortal Empress Wen Lan might not be the most talented person in the Immortal World but she was definitely the one with the best judgement of people. Since Immortal Empress Wen Lan held sect head in such high regard, I am certain that sect head''s future achievements would definitely be extraordinary. Moreover, I believe sect head''s words¡­" "What words?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Tian Nini answered, "Sect head said that your own cultivation talent is not high and would never be comparable to Lei Hongji. I believe you." Mo Wuji rubbed his forehead speechlessly, "Can''t I pretend to be humble for a while? I can''t believe you had this much trust in my words. Furthermore, if I had poor cultivation talent and dimmed future, why would you want to take me as your master?" Tian Nini shook her head, "No, I believe that sect head was not being humble and that your cultivation talent is certainly not comparable to Lei Hongji. However, despite being less talented, sect head was still able to be on par with him which shows how sect head''s dao legacy had greatly surpassed Lei Hongji''s dao legacy. I have low if not no talent at all too which is why I believe that I would only have a chance to advance further if I am under sect head''s guidance." Mo Wuji was inwardly surprised and knew at this instance that he had underestimated Tian Nini. One simple sentence of his actually got her thinking so deeply. From this thought process, Mo Wuji could tell that Tian Nini was not simple at all. Her thoughts were incredibly exquisite and she had a far vision. How could such a clever girl not suspect Wu Mei for the death of her brother? After all, Wu Mei and Tian Zhongfu were paired up together to enter the Broken World. As if she knew what Mo Wuji was thinking about, Tian Nini continued to sob as she spoke, "From the very beginning, I had already suspected that my brother''s death could be related to Wu Mei. However, I dared not investigate about it, ask about it or even leave the sect. If Wu Mei was aware that I was suspecting her or if I suddenly decide to leave the sect, I would have been dead a long time ago¡­" Mo Wuji''s tone turned cold, "Which mean that you already had this thought of leaving the Immortal Universe Sword School since a long time ago and you simply made use of my name and reputation." Tian Nini lowered her head and said, "Yes because I know that sect head is not afraid of the Immortal Universe Sword School. If I were to miss this opportunity, no matter how desperate I was to leave the Immortal Universe Sword School, I wouldn''t know when I would be able to do so. I am willing to accept any punishment from sect head and even if you want to kill me, I have nothing to complain about." "Were you planning to assassinate Wu Mei by staying by her side?" Mo Wuji asked. Tian Nini shook her head, "I only wanted to protect myself and I wasn''t certain that she was the one who killed my brother. I suspected her because I am aware of their exceptionally close relationship in the dark. Others might not know that she entered the Broken World with my brother but I am fully aware. However, after my brother had fallen in the Broken World, she never came to find me and I am the one who slowly approached her so that I could get on her good books." Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying. "You can stand up now, I accept you as my disciple." After a slight hesitation, Mo Wuji sighed and said, "I really don''t know if my decision to accept you as my disciple is right or wrong." Mo Wuji was truly hesitant because he still felt that Tian Nini was way too scheming. However, he had no choice but to accept Tian Nini as his disciple because if he rejected her and she leave Ping Fan, she would definitely die. Without mentioning that people who suspected she had treasures on her would go after her, even Wu Mei would not let Tian Nini off easily. This meant that the reason why Tian Nini was so resolute in making Mo Wuji her master today was because she wanted to protect herself at all costs. This proved how scheming his new disciple was. Mo Wuji nodded his head as he took out the two pages of the Book of Luo as well as the small cauldron before saying, "These two pages of the Book of Luo and this small cauldron are extremely incredible items. In fact, the small cauldron could be comparable to the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. I suspect that the only reason why Wu Mei was able to advance so quickly into the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage was because of this small cauldron. Since the Book of Luo is not complete, I shall keep it for myself. Your future achievements depend on this small cauldron so you should keep that for yourself." After saying that, Mo Wuji kept the two pages of the Book of Luo and handed the small cauldron together with the storage ring to Tian Nini. Tian Nini was astonished because despite knowing that the items Wu Mei took was incredible, she certainly didn''t expect it to be this exceptional. Book of Luo and the small cauldron which could be compared to the Red Karmic Fire Lotus¡­ It was no wonder the Very High Heavens wanted people to enter the fourth level of the Broken World; the treasures inside were certainly terrifyingly strong. "Master, I might not be able to protect this item from others,"Tian Nini finally reacted to the situation. Mo Wuji chuckled, "As long as you cultivate in Ping Fan with the aid of the small cauldron, you would definitely be able to spread your name in the future. Before you, I have a disciple called Fu Jingfeng and three named disciples called Lou Yueshuang, Pan Wu and Pan Xie. You will be considered as my second official disciple. My technique is called the immortal mortal technique which was created by myself. The difference between this technique and other techniques was that even those without spiritual roots are able to cultivate using it¡­" Having heard Mo Wuji''s legacy, Tian Nini was completely dazed. As compared to the Book of Luo or the small cauldron, Tian Nini found Mo Wuji''s legacy to be the most shocking one. Cultivate without spiritual roots, open meridians, immortal mortal technique... Every sentence seemed to explode vigorously in her mind and her mind was further blown when she realised that her master was actually the ancestor of a newly created dao. This would mean that she, Tian Nini, would be the first generation of disciples to inherit the new dao. Tian Nini breathed in and she made a decision in her heart to never let down the expectations of her master. Concurrently, she was rejoicing at her own decision to have found the right master to follow. ¡­ Back at Ping Fan, after informing Wen Hou the reason why the Very High Heavens was recruiting disciples, Mo Wuji had been focusing his energy into teaching Tian Nini how to open her meridians. Mo Wuji was also slightly worried that Jin Yu might find out Su Rou''Er and Dou Hualong were the ones who headed towards the location with sparse immortal energy back in the fourth level of the Broken World. A month later, Mo Wuji was finally relieved after he received news that Jin Yu had left the Immortal World with a group of genius disciples. After Ping Fan had shifted the immortal mountains from the Great Sword Path, they had become much more majestic than before. Following which, Ping Fan Trade Union auctioned out large amount of peak grade immortal pills and news of the great density of immortal energy at Ping Fan was spread across the entire Immortal World. Ping Fan''s reputation jolted the Immortal World as an increasing number of immortals came to Ping Fan. At the same time, after the mortals living by the periphery of the Extreme Glade Sea heard about the equality between mortals and immortals at Ping Fan, many of them made their way to Ping Fan too. Mo Wuji waited for another three months but still had no news of Cen Shuyin which resulted in his decision to leave Ping Fan in search of Cen Shuyin. Chapter 742: The Whereabouts Of Shuyin Chapter 742: The Whereabouts Of Shuyin Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The first place Mo Wuji went was the Devil Moon Immortal School where Lin Gu had brought him to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond many years ago. When he was pulled by the force within the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond, he had handed Cen Shuyin over for Lin Gu to take care of her. The reason he had established Ping Fan openly in the Extreme Sea Glade as well as to destroy the Great Sword Path in such high profile was so that he could announce his return to the Immortal World. He was hoping that Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin would find their way to Ping Fan upon hearing his name. However, it had already been quite some time since Ping Fan was established yet neither Lin Gu nor Cen Shuyin returned so he made his decision to search for them instead. Mo Wuji was clear that looking for Cen Shuyin in the vast and boundless Immortal World would be equivalent to looking for a nail in the sea. Because they were afraid of Mo Wuji, the Devil Moon Immortal School allowed Mo Wuji to enter their school without restrains. Lin Gu was from the Devil Moon Immortal School''s Moon Seeking Mountain but after Lun Cai''s rage, even the Moon Seeking Mountain''s Lord Shi Gulan escaped with severe injuries. On his return to the Moon Seeking Mountain, all Mo Wuji saw was a land of ruins. Even without asking anybody here, Mo Wuji knew that neither Shi Gulan nor Lin Gu had returned. After searching through the Moon Seeking Mountain once more, Mo Wuji didn''t obtain any clue. He could only leave the Devil Moon Immortal School helplessly and the second place he wanted to visit would be the Unfettered Emperor Palace. Palace Lord Grand Emperor Lun Cai of the Unfettered Emperor Palace had great enmity with Mo Wuji and even the Devil Moon Immortal School''s Moon Seeking Mountain was razed by Grand Emperor Lun Cai. Mo Wuji suspected that Grand Emperor Lun Cai might send someone to wait outside the Six Paths Ruins to capture Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin. Even though the possibility of this was not high, he still needed to find Lun Cai. This was because if Cen Shuyin fell into Lun Cai''s hands, Lun Cai would definitely use Cen Shuyin to coerce him." Mo Wuji had been to the Gods Immortal Domain before when he visited the Heavenly Chasm and the Gods Heavenly Chasm. Lun Cai''s Unfettered Emperor Palace was located in the Gods Immortal Domain''s most beautiful district. Even before Mo Wuji was close to the Unfettered Emperor Palace, he could sense the dense immortal energy in the air. The Unfettered Emperor Palace was established at the Gods Immortal Domain''s Unfettered Mountain and it was considered to be one of the ten cultivation holylands. "Old Fella Lun Cai, if you are still not out, don''t blame me for smashing your entrance," Even before Mo Wuji reached the Unfettered Emperor Palace, a loud cursing could be heard. Mo Wuji was shocked as he tried to think who this fella might be? He actually dared to curse and shout outside the entrance of the Unfettered Emperor Palace. Despite the fact that Mo Wuji came to find Lun Cai, given Mo Wuji''s current strength, he knew that he was still unable to fight his way into the Unfettered Emperor Palace. On the contrary, Lun Cai wouldn''t dare to do anything to him outside the Unfettered Emperor Palace. Even if he had to fight, Mo Wuji could still use his Wind Escape Technique to escape easily. However, once he entered the Unfettered Emperor Palace, his life wouldn''t lay on his own hands anymore. Mo Wuji directly crossed an arch bridge made of stone which was connected straight to the Unfettered Emperor Palace. Soon after, Mo Wuji landed right outside the entrance of the Unfettered Emperor Palace. On the white jade plaza stood a barefooted itinerant monk who was holding a seven apertures Buddhist staff in his hand. The itinerant monk''s long hair casually fell from his head and he looked very much like a wanderer of the Immortal World. Mo Wuji guessed that the person cursing at Immortal Emperor Lun Cai should be this itinerant monk. It was no wonder this itinerant monk would dare to shout here as Mo Wuji could sense that he was also in the Immortal Emperor Stage. "Monk Da Ning, don''t assume that I, Lun Cai, am afraid of you just because I didn''t wish to be calculative with you," The instance the Unfettered Emperor Palace''s entrance opened up, a skinny man wearing a crown walked out. He was indeed Lun Cai. "Sect Head Mo, my Unfettered Emperor Palace had been minding my own business and staying out of your affairs so what are you doing here?" Lun Cai was glaring intently at Mo Wuji while reprimanding the itinerant monk. Even though Mo Wuji was only in the Immortal King Stage, Lun Cai was more fearful of Mo Wuji than the Immortal Emperor monk. No matter how strong the Unfettered Emperor Palace was, they would never be as strong as the Great Sword Path in today''s world. Frankly speaking, the strongest person in the Unfettered Emperor Palace was Lun Cai himself. Other than Lun Cai, there was no other Grand Emperors in his Unfettered Emperor Palace. On the contrary, Mo Wuji''s Ping Fan had Wei Zidao and rumoured another two more intermediate Immortal Emperors. With such a strong lineup, even the Lightning Sect wouldn''t casually provoke Mo Wuji. In the Sharphorn Immortal Garden, Lun Cai personally heard the Very High Heavens'' venerable envoy forget about Mo Wuji''s destruction of the Great Sword Path with a few warnings to Mo Wuji. This was only because Mo Wuji''s Ping Fan was simply too terrifying. "Sect Head Mo? Which sect do you lead? How come this Buddhist monk here hadn''t heard of it before?" The itinerant monk called Da Ning looked doubtfully at Mo Wuji because he really wondered who Mo Wuji was that even Lun Cai was slightly fearful of him. "I had only just established a school so it was perfectly normal even if this Immortal Friend here hadn''t heard of it before," Mo Wuj answered promptly as he was also curious where this Da Ning came from to actually have a strength like this. However, this fella was clearly a long haired itinerant monk yet he dared to address himself as a Buddhist monk. Even though itinerant monks could still be considered to be Buddhist monks, Mo Wuji just felt that this Da Ning couldn''t be considered as one. Da Ning didn''t continue bothering about Mo Wuji''s newly established school as he asked, "Are you here to find trouble with Lun Cai too? Why don''t we join hands to bash our way through?" Even before Mo Wuji could react, Lun Cai shouted furiously, "Monk Da Ning, how many times have I told you that the disappearance of your disciple, Yi Ning had nothing to do with me? If you really want to fight, my Unfettered Emperor Palace wouldn''t fear your Seven Buddha Great Temple." While Lun Cai was explaining his innocence to Da Ning, he was still staring at Mo Wuji. To him, Mo Wuji was the one who could pose the most danger to his Unfettered Emperor Palace, not Da Ning. It was impossible for the Seven Buddha Great Temple to give his Unfettered Emperor Palace a blood bath but this Sect Head Mo in front of him could. Lun Cai was deeply fearful of Mo Wuji. It could be said that he had watched Mo Wuji grow and at the start, he could still threaten Mo Wuji. Towards the end, he realised that Mo Wuji didn''t even put him or his Unfettered Emperor Palace in his eyes. Mo Wuji thought that this was a little funny and that this itinerant monk had character. His name is Da Ning while his disciple is called Yi Ning, [1] In fact, Mo Wuji had met that Monk Yi Ning before back in the third level of the Broken World when Monk Yi Ning even invited Mo Wuji for a drink. "Small son Lun Cai had cultivated far and likes to quibble now. I have received news that members of your Unfettered Emperor Palace had tried to kill my disciple and even forced him all the way into the Great Desolate Sea Domain," Da Ning said angrily. After saying that, he swung the seven apertures Buddhist staff in his hand. In just one swing, Mo Wuji could feel a violent surge of energy whistling here. The two Tier 6 immortal plants outside the Unfettered Emperor Palace started wavering as if it was about to break. Lun Cai''s expression changed as he took out a water crystal ball and said, "It was indeed my men who chased your disciple into the Great Desolate Sea Domain but I was unaware of it. This was the video recording of the situation when disciples of my Unfettered Emperor Palace were swept into the whirlpool at the Great Desolate Sea Domain." The water crystal ball showed a hurricane like whirlpool and there were multiple people within the whirlpool. Mo Wuji recognised Yi Ning and identified that he was indeed within the few people in the whirlpool. Moments later, these men disappeared without a trace as they were swept away by the whirlpool. Mo Wuji''s expression changed because he actually saw a woman with a back view similar to Lin Gu''s. The other person, who also looked like a woman, was blocked by Lin Gu''s body. If it was a woman together with Lin Gu, wasn''t that Cen Shuyin? "Lun Cai, you are truly an old fella. Was it your men from the Unfettered Emperor Palace who chased after my wife and force her into the whirlpool of the Great Desolate Sea Domain?" Mo Wuji raised his hand and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in his hand. Lun Cai said coldly, "Mo Wuji, my Unfettered Emperor Palace is certainly not comparable to your Ping Fan but I, Lun Cai, am not here for you to bully. I am always willing to accept your fight but if you are looking for someone, I suggest you move out as soon as you can." Lun Cai''s tone was very aggressive but the truth was the he was already being very soft because he really hoped that Mo Wuji wouldn''t act against his Unfettered Emperor Palace. He had decided that after advising Mo Wuji to leave, he would request to form an alliance with the Vast Ocean Immortal School and the Lightning Sect. Mo Wuji understood and stared intensely at Lun Cai, "Lun Cai, could it be that your men were chasing after Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin but was spotted and intervened by Yi Ning. Thereafter, your men tried to kill Yi Ning too but eventually met the whirlpool of the Great Desolate Sea Domain?" Lun Cai knew there was no longer any point in hiding this from Mo Wuji so he simply replied, "That''s right, this was indeed what happened. However, my point was that I had no clue all this was happening because this was all done by my men in hope that they could please me. I, Lun Cai, am still not afraid of anyone or any method so if you want to attack my Unfettered Emperor Palace, come at me." "Old fella, tell me the exact position in the water crystal ball," Da Ning heard the story and was enraged. If it wasn''t because he was desperate to find his disciple, he would have attacked. Lun Cai opened up his hand and the Blazing Babel Pillar appeared in front of him. He guessed that this matter wouldn''t be resolved without a fight so he took out his magic treasure, "I have already said that I wasn''t the one who instructed them so i have no idea where the place was." "Immortal Friend Mo, why don''t we work together to destroy this Unfettered Emperor Palace?" Da Ning''s killing intent surged to the maximum but because he knew he wouldn''t be able to restrain Lun Cai alone, he casually dragged Mo Wuji into this too. Mo Wuji was anxious and he knew that Lun Cai was speaking the truth because that whirlpool was the passage to leave the Immortal World. He had heard of this from the WuBen couple and from his guess that Zhuo Pingan should have left through the same passage. This was the third time he had heard of people entering the whirlpool passage and Cen Shuyin was involved too. He was extremely desperate to find Cen Shuyin because who knew what was on the other side of the passage? "Immortal Friend Da Ning, I know that place. We can destroy the Unfettered Emperor Palace anytime but I am in urgent need to rescue someone now," Mo Wuji transmitted a message to Da Ning. Da Ning heard that Mo Wuji knew about the position of the whirlpool in the Great Desolate Sea Domain and was instantly pleased as he said, "Alright, let''s go there now." Having replied Mo Wuji, he turned his head and spat a mouthful of saliva towards Lun Cai, "Old fella, I am sick of you acting like you''re the strongest. One of these days, I will come back to raze your rubbish palace." [1]: Da = Big, Yi= One So Yi Ning is Da Ning''s disciple. I''m guessing his second disciple would be called Er(two) Ning? Chapter 743: Seven Buddha Scripture Chapter 743: Seven Buddha Scripture Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Mo Wuji, you''re not lying to me right? Do you really know where the place is?" After leaving the Unfettered Emperor Palace, Monk Da Ning asked worriedly. If it was any other day, Mo Wuji would definitely want to interact more with Da Ning and even asked some questions like why his name is Da Ning and his disciple''s name is Yi Ning. However, Mo Wuji really wasn''t in any mood to interact as he was simply too worried and anxious. It would still be okay if Cen Shuyin and Lin Gu were to leave through the passage into a lower level cultivation world. If they were to reach a higher level world or even the alien tribe''s encampment, it wouldn''t be good for them. This was why after informing Su Zi''An, Wei Zidao and co. a message to tell them that he would be leaving for a period of time, Mo Wuji left with a troubled mind. As for Monk Da Ning''s question, he simply skimped through it with a few half hearted replies. Despite having just been established, Ping Fan had a few Immortal Emperors so it shouldn''t be a problem for them to gain a foothold in the Immortal World. Monk Da Ning noticed that Mo Wuji didn''t really wish to speak so he could only shut his mouth. In his heart, he was impressed at Mo Wuji''s speed and stamina. His guess was that Mo Wuji definitely hadn''t reached the Immortal Emperor Stage and the only reason why Lun Cai was fearful of him was because Mo Wuji had an immortal sect backing him. As he followed Mo Wuji''s insane speed to the Great Desolate Sea Domain, he started to suspect his own guess. Even with Monk Da Ning''s cultivation level and speed technique, he still had to put in great effort to follow behind Mo Wuji. Otherwise, he would be easily left behind and logically speaking, Mo Wuji''s speed should slow down after a prolonged period of time. However, Monk Da Ning found out that no matter how far he had to travel, Mo Wuji''s speed hadn''t decrease by a single bit. Besides stopping to catch a breath while sitting in the transfer array, Mo Wuji had been constantly moving at his full speed. "Mo Wuji, your Wind Escape Technique, no, Wind Escape Sacred Art is incredibly impressive. Could you teach me?" After entering the West Moat Sea, Monk Da Ning could no longer contain his urge to ask. Mo Wuji was speechless because only this monk would ask someone to pass down their peak grade sacred art this casually to him. Even though he hadn''t spend much time conversing with Da Ning on the road, Mo Wuji roughly understood what kind of person this monk was. He replied, "Monk, what is the legacy of your Seven Buddha Great Temple?" "Seven Buddha Scripture ah, everyone in the Immortal World knows about it except you. You are truly ill-informed," Monk Da Ning spoke with an extremely surprised tone. Mo Wuji nodded with a straight face, "I remember now, it is indeed the Seven Buddha Scripture. This Buddhist Scripture is very impressive and I''ve even heard that it is the number one Buddhist Technique in the entire Buddhist World." Mo Wuji had never heard of the Seven Buddha Scripture but he had heard of the reputable name of the Seven Buddha Great Temple and was aware that it was one of the peak grade immortal school in the Buddhist Domain. The legacy of such an esteemed school would definitely be extraordinarily impressive. Da Ning said proudly, "That goes without saying. The Seven Buddha Scripture is also extremely famous throughout the entire Immortal World and not just the Buddhist Domain. Do you know about the three most valuable treasures of the Buddhism?" Mo Wuji instantly became interested, "I''ve heard that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp is ranked third but I have no idea what the second and first treasures are." Monk Da Ning chuckled, "Ranked number one is the One Buddha Lotus Seat while ranked number two is my Seven Buddha Great Temple''s Seven Buddha Scripture." Initially, Mo Wuji thought that the Seven Buddha Scripture was merely a very good legacy technique but he certainly didn''t expect it to be one of the top three treasures of Buddhism. This was no wonder the Seven Buddha Great Temple was such a renowned sect. Mo Wuji had no idea whether or not the Seven Buddha Scripture was a magic treasure but Mo Wuji believed that as a legacy treasure, the Seven Buddha Scripture would definitely be more suitable for the sect than the other two. "Then could you pass down the legacy of the Seven Buddha Scripture to me? I don''t need the original copy, I just need you to tell me the content of it," Mo Wuji asked seriously. Monk Da Ning opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "How can I do that? The Seven Buddha Scripture was used to establish my Seven Buddha Great Temple and this is completely different from your Wind Escape Sacred Art." "Oh¡­" Mo Wuji let out an ''Oh'' as he couldn''t be bothered with Monk Da Ning anymore. Monk Da Ning saw that Mo Wuji had no reaction so he said softly, "Mo Wuji, why don''t we exchange in secret. Just don''t tell anyone that I told you the content of the Seven Buddha Scripture, possible?" Previously, Mo Wuji was really just fooling around with Monk Da Ning because he knew that Monk Da Ning would never pass him the Seven Buddha Scripture and in fact, Mo Wuji never intended to learn the Buddhist Dao. He didn''t expect this monk to actually dare to make an exchange with him, how daring could he be? The content of a treasure like the Seven Buddha Scripture, even if it wasn''t the original copy, must most certainly be incredible impressive. Since it was a mutual exchange, what did he have to lose? Even though the Wind Escape Sacred Art was deduced and modified by his dao revelation channel and had become a unique sacred art, it would not be inferior in any respect to other sacred arts in the Immortal World. Mo Wuji was indeed willing to exchange his Wind Escape Sacred Art for the Seven Buddha Scripture. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he sketched out his Wind Escape Sacred Art on a jade letter for Monk Da Ning. Very soon after Monk Da Ning scanned his spiritual will through the jade letter, he was scratching his ear in joy. "It can actually call for the wind. Impressive, truly incredible, incredible¡­" Da Ning only knew how to say incredible as he totally forgot about passing Mo Wuji the Seven Buddha Scripture. Mo Wuji was not worried at all as he simply increased his speed and Monk Da Ning felt the strain very soon after. He hurried to take out a simple and unadorned jade letter for Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, this is the Seven Buddha Scripture so take a look as we travel. Don''t rush through it and remember to not say that I''m the one who showed you this." Mo Wuji didn''t look through the Seven Buddha Scripture as he installed a seal over it before throwing it into his storage ring, "Monk, is the Seven Buddha Scripture back at your Seven Buddha Great Temple also a magic treasure? Could you let me have a look at it when I visit the Seven Buddha Great Temple in the future?" Monk Da Ning hurried to shake his hand and said, "No, no, no way." As he spoke, he had already kept the Wind Escape Sacred Art which was in his hand. He was worried that Mo Wuji might go back on his word and choose not to complete the exchange with him. Mo Wuji also knew that this was not possible and before Mo Wuji could question about the distinct features of the Seven Buddha Scripture, Monk Da Ning suddenly whispered, "Mo Wuji, let me tell you something. Actually, the Seven Buddha Scripture had been missing and it is no longer at the Seven Buddha Great Temple." "Regardless of whether it was lost or not, I never had the intention to obtain the original copy of your Seven Buddha Scripture," Mo Wuji looked at Monk Da Ning''s sneaky action and was no longer able to discern if Monk Da Ning''s words were true or false. Even though Da Ning gave Mo Wuji a feeling that he was a honest and forthright man, Mo Wuji was sure that this fella was extremely devious man. "Monk, previously the Venerable Envoy of the Very High Heavens came to recruit Nine Stars Geniuses and I''ve heard that your disciple, Yi Ning, was recruited. Didn''t he go over with them?" Mo Wuji casually changed the topic of conversation. Hearing Mo Wuji''s question, Monk Da Ning''s expression turned solemn, "If it wasn''t for Lun Cai that old fella who caused Yi Ning to miss his chance to enter the Very High Heavens, Yi Ning could very well be an Immortal King now. Mo Wuji, when I go back to teach Lun Cai a lesson, will you come along?" "We can go over together but we are here now," Mo Wuji stopped. "Here?" Monk Da Ning looked doubtfully at the ordinary looking sea in front of him before looking at Mo Wuji in confusion, "There is nothing here ah, are you sure that we are at the right place?" "I am sure, we just need to wait for a while," Mo Wuji replied convincingly. He was guessing that this passage could be open by array flags but the water crystal ball that he had only showed the place and nothing else." Monk Da Ning trusted that Mo Wuji was not lying to him so he simply landed back on his own flying ship. He then took out the Wind Escape Sacred Art given by Mo Wuji as he started his flavourful analysis of it. ¡­ Half a month passed quickly but the sea domain which Mo Wuji and Monk Da Ning were in was still peaceful and quiet. The deeply concentrated Monk Da Huang could no longer resist anymore as he kept his jade letter and stared at Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, you''re not fooling with me right?" Mo Wuji was equally as anxious but why would he have the mood to explain to Da Ning which was why he simply answered, "If you think I am fooling with you, you can go back first. Nobody is keeping you here." Monk Da Ning laughed awkwardly and just as he was about to speak, trembles could be felt in the space near them. Without Monk Da Ning''s warning, Mo Wuji could also sense that someone was approaching because it wasn''t a tremble in space but intense killing intent. "Brother Mo, please help me." A familiar voice could be heard and before Mo Wuji could recall whose voice it was, the voice spoke again, "No wait, you''re not his match¡­" After saying that, the person changed direction to escape from the side. Mo Wuji could finally recognise the voice of the person asking for help. The man asking for help had yet to fully recover his fleshly body while the man behind him was a dark skin, vicious looking man. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he drew out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he slashed towards the dark skin man in his first attack. A space splitting Winding River descended from above as it charged towards the dark skin man. Before the Winding River was displayed, the space was still the space and the sea was still the sea. After wielding out the Winding River, the space and sea had transformed into a silver coloured Winding River and it seemed to start from the boundless space and strike boundlessly towards its opponent. It was clearly a silver coloured halberd radiance yet it appeared to others like a descending milky way which could sweep everything out of its way. After going through Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s guidance and tips, Mo Wuji''s Winding River had grown even more. Even if he was only still an Immortal king, the Winding River descended with massive amount of boundless and majestic energy within it. "Mo Wuji, this is truly an incredible sacred art. Let me help you with this and make sure you teach me this too," Monk Da Ning cried out in joy and excitement after witnessing this silver Winding River descend. He instantly took out his staff as it hacked towards the dark skin man who was exuding insidious energy. Chapter 744: Seven Underworld Palace’s Restrained Soul King Chapter 744: Seven Underworld Palace¡¯s Restrained Soul King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Boom!" Mo Wuji''s boundless Winding River looked like it had descended on the peak of the sturdiest mountain as the Winding River momentarily disappeared into nothingness. The endless halberd radiance started exploding yet that mountain appeared to be completely unharmed. An insane amount of immortal energy surged over and Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Following which, he could sense his own meridians being torn apart and his vitality seemed to have met a black whirlpool absorbing his life force away. In just one move and before the move was even completed, Mo Wuji could feel a strong sense of helplessness. Mo Wuji was inwardly appalled at the unknown level of cultivation of his opponent. The opponent was so strong that when he executed his mighty Winding River on him, it was just like an egg crashing against a rock. Retreat, if he didn''t retreat fast enough, he wouldn''t be able to save his own life if the insane immortal energy were to sweep him away. However, in the very next moment, Mo Wuji knew he was overthinking because even though the dark skinned man had yet to attack, Mo Wuji was unable to retreat at all. A terrifyingly strong domain had trapped him in and he could only await his death. The sense of helplessness caused Mo Wuji was something he hadrarely felt. Previously, he believed that having advanced to become an Immortal King, he would even be able to deal with the slightly weaker Immortal Reverents. It was only when he met a true expert like today that Mo Wuji finally realised how frightfully weak he was. "Boom!" Yet another explosion of immortal energy could be felt and Mo Wuji''s entire body felt at ease. At that instance, he noticed Monk Da Ning''s staff tearing the dark skinned man''s domain apart. "Many thanks monk," Mo Wuji hurried to retreat out of the opponent''s domain and he was now certain that this dark skinned fella was a Grand Emperor, a terrifyingly powerful one. "Mo Wuji, hurry up and help me as I am not able to deal with this fella alone. Which coffin did this fella appear from? How could he be so strong?" Da Ning''s staff had swirled up a hurricane-like immortal energy billows as he seemed to be able to control everything within 10 metres radius of himself. Even so, he was still telling Mo Wuji of how he was unable to beat this insidious feeling dark skinned fella. Mo Wuji didn''t have the time to talk to Monk Da Ning so he instantly superpositioned his whirlpool domain with Monk Da Ning''s domain. As compared to other cultivators'' domain, Mo Wuji''s domain was one which could casually superposition onto others. Indeed, even though the dark skinned man''s domain was able to split the space within Monk Da Ning''s domain but after Mo Wuji added his domain into the fight, the dark skinned man''s domain was instantly restrained. "Good brother, your domain seemed pretty impressive, remember to teach me after we finish this black ghost off," Monk Da Ning was fully focused on sweeping up immortal energy to fight against the opponent yet he didn''t forget to remind Mo Wuji to teach him afterwards. Mo Wuji didn''t have time to bother with Monk Da Ning''s nonsense because he knew that this black ghost was incredibly powerful. Even though Mo Wuji himself was strong, he was still slightly lacking when compared to the black ghost. He grabbed multiple array flags and was continually setting up deathtrap arrays around them. Mo Wuji had a feeling that if he didn''t kill this black ghost off today, he will definitely cause endless calamity in the future. His cultivation level might not be strong enough but his Pill Dao and Array Dao could be. He might be unable to display the prowess of his Pill Dao in a battle but he was able to do so with his Array Dao. "Who are you? You are merely an Immortal King yet you managed to remain unharm under the lacerations of my Yin Domain?" The horrifying voice of the black ghost was heard and even though Mo Wuji''s cultivation level was extremely low, the black ghost didn''t pay much attention to Da Ning as his eyes fell on Mo Wuji. He only had one pair of eyes and it looked like a pair of deathly pale lanterns shooting out terrifyingly peculiar radiance. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart because he might have a weak cultivation level but he was in the God Physique Level 6. Wouldn''t he be too trashy if his body was torn apart by a mere domain? At this moment, the severely wounded man, who Mo Wuji rescued, had finally regained his senses. He took in a few breaths at where he was before joining the fighting force and shouted, "Brother Mo, you saved me once more." Presently, Mo Wuji''s deathtrap array had taken shape but instead of igniting it straightaway, he continued to carve out array runes outside of the deathtrap array. He wanted to install a garrotte array which would normally go unnoticed by many people. ''Haha, senior is being too polite. Back in the third level of the Broken World, if it wasn''t for your guidance and protection, I would have fallen outside the Golden House or within the dangerous fog. Today, I happened to be present at just the right time so it was only necessary for me to step in to help. However, I am still clueless as to how do I address senior?" Mo Wuji said while laughing. This faint looking man was the statue which Mo Wuji saw during his journey within the third level of the Broken World. Mo Wuji erected this statue back up and even found some of his body parts lying around. Afterwards when he was at the Golden House, a voice warned Mo Wuji and even rescued him. At that point in time, Mo Wuji was wondering if the statue which he helped was the one who rescued him. Hearing that familiar voice today and then seeing this man with an unrecovered fleshly body confirmed his suspicion. "Brother Mo, don''t call me senior anymore. My name is Gu Yongxiao. We shall catch up later because this man in front of us has an extremely extraordinary background and if we don''t finish him off today, we would only be inviting endless calamity upon us," Gu Yongxiao drew out a pair of pencils as he charged wildly towards the dark skinned man. "How could this black ghost be so powerful? Who is this fella? What calamity would fall upon us if we don''t finish him off?" Monk Da Ning continued questioning Gu Yongxiao even as he was attacking the black ghost. Gu Yongxiao replied promptly, "That''s right, this man is indeed a black ghost. His name is Yuan Jie, the Restrained Soul King of the Seven Underworld Palace." "What? This black ghost is actually one of the seven king of the Seven Underworld Palace?" Monk Da Ning heard about this and instantly increased the level of his attack evidently fighting for his life now. Mo Wuji might not know what the Seven Underworld Palace was but he had this feeling that he definitely shouldn''t let this Yuan Jie off. He could sense the Yin energy exuding from Yuan Jie''s body and subconsciously started adding lightning bolts attack into his deathtrap array. "Jie Jie¡­" Yuan Jie suddenly murmured these under his breath before the energy exuding from him started rampaging forward, "Stop thinking that you can kill me, the Restrained Soul King¡­" This fella wanted to leave and the instance Yuan Jie''s energy rose tremendously, Mo Wuji could feel his intent. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he ignited his deathtrap array and simultaneously carved out the garrotte array. Multiple lightning runes were being infused into his garrotte array. "Boom!" Yuan Jie moved slightly and managed to break through Mo Wuji''s deathtrap array. The overwhelming blade radiance and sword qi were merely an itch to Yuan Jie. However, the last wave of lightning bolt at the end made him shocked. Despite the fact that this lightning bolt was unable to injure Yuan Jie severely, it still left scars on his dark skin. Yuan Jie was in a hurry to leave because his domain was constantly being ripped apart by the three domains. "Aye!" Almost at the same time Yuan Jie stopped, Monk Da Ning''s staff struck out a sail of ash grey bloodstain on Yuan Jie''s waist. Gu Yongxiao didn''t miss this opportunity as two black coloured pencils struck directly at Yuan Jie''s temples. Yuan Jie let out a devastating cry and the iron rope in his hand passed through Monk Da Ning''s shoulder. Monk Da Ning also had a whiff of tenacity as he chose not to retreat but to form a hundreds of metres long shovel arc using his staff. The shovel arc combined with Mo Wuji''s superpositioned domain instantaneously locked up the space which Yuan Jie was intending to escape through. A small chant could be heard from the shovel arc and even though it was not directed at Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji still felt like a heavy hammer had struck against his chest. His heart was astonished because this monk was simply too powerful as well. Evidently, Monk Da Ning executed his trump card against this Yuan Jie. After learning about Yuan Jie''s origins, he developed an immense killing intent towards him. Yuan Jie''s iron rope exploded as it transformed into rounds and rounds of small chains to defend against the shovel arc and the buddhist chant was momentarily lowered down. Yuan Jie''s body burst forward and a faint shadow dashed out. If he didn''t know that the deathtrap array installed by Mo Wuji was so powerful, he wouldn''t have rush to escape. If he truly wanted to leave, he would take his time. However, he finally felt the true terror installed by Mo Wuji and the second he was struck again by Mo Wuji''s lightning bolt together with Monk Da Ning and Gu Yongxiao''s combined effort, Yuan Jie''s life was sealed right here at this moment. "Kakakaka!" Lightning webs exploded towards him and within of the lightning web was Yuan Jie''s body with a layer of flesh missing. Just as Mo Wuji''s second layer of garrote array was completed, it managed to restrain Yuan Jie''s body. Mo Wuji was surprised because he hadn''t seen many cultivators who would sacrifice their fleshly body to protect their primordial spirit. As for a person like Yuan Jie who had lost his first layer of flesh but still had a second layer beneath it, it was Mo Wuji''s first time meeting such a person. Today, if he wasn''t with Monk Da Ning, Mo Wuji could only choose to run if he were to meet someone as formidable as Yuan Jie. Monk Da Ning and Gu Yongxiao didn''t waste a second as they started charging frantically at Yuan Jie. In the face of the joint attack of the staff and pencil shadow, Yuan Jie started shouting loudly, "You dare to kill me¡­" "Boom!" It didn''t matter whether they dared to kill him or not because Monk Da Ning and Gu Yongxiao''s attacks had already charged over and Yuan Jie''s second layer of flesh was burnt off. At this very moment, Monk Da Ning''s staff had already managed to rip Yuan Jie apart and a faint golden flame was spouted out in the air. Following which, Yuan Jie no longer had any vitality within him. Chapter 745: Seven World Stone Chapter 745: Seven World Stone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This fella is really incredible, to think he had two layers of fleshly body. If I am alone today, I wouldn''t be able to finish this man off. Mo Wuji, I shall go and heal myself while you and your old friend catch up," Monk Da Ning kept Yuan Jie''s belongings before chuckling away. Having said that, he didn''t even wait for Mo Wuji''s reply as he stepped out into space and onto his own flying ship. Mo Wuji knew that this old monk was afraid that he might want Yuan Jie''s storage ring so he took the opportunity to leave first. The truth was that Mo Wuji never intended to split a portion of Yuan Jie''s items but was still very grateful for Monk Da Ning. If it wasn''t for Monk Da Ning''s aid, he would still be running for his life. Without mentioning that he might not be able to rescue Gu Yongxiao, he would have added one more powerful enemy to his list. "Brother Mo, you''ve saved me this time. If it wasn''t for you, I would have lost my life," Gu Yongxiao clasped his fist towards Mo Wuji appreciatively. Mo Wuji replied worryingly, "Brother Gu, your body seemed to have some severe hidden damage. You should hurry up and find a place to heal yourself." Gu Yongxiao''s body was faint as if it could dissipate anytime now. Gu Yongxiao simply nodded, "I will tell you more about me next time. I shall return to the Six Path Ruins'' Soul Condensing Immortal Pond to merge my fleshly body and soul now. I must warn you about something. You have just participated in the killing of Yuan Jie and he had an extraordinary background. While your cultivation level was still fairly low, you must not go back to your sect because returning would mean extermination of your own sect." "He placed an imprint on me?" Mo Wuji was shocked as his spiritual will started to scan through his entire body. However, after one round of inspection, Mo Wuji didn''t seem to find any spiritual will imprint on himself. "I don''t know," Gu Yongxiao exclaimed, "The Seven Underworld Palace works mysteriously. As long as you managed to kill a member of theirs, they would be able to find you. Even I am not too sure as to what methods they used. I suggest you hide in the fourth level of the Broken World for a while and if possible, you should hide at the Very High Heavens. That friend of yours seemed to know a little about the Seven Underworld Palace so you should probably ask him more afterwards. I still have three pages of the Book of Luo here and I shall pass it to you. We shall meet again because I have to hurry to the Soul Condensing Immortal Pond now. I might not survive if I were to delay any longer." "This item is too precious so I can''t accept," Mo Wuji rejected anxiously before taking out a storage ring for Gu Yongxiao, "Brother Gu, this storage ring contained a few Underworld Heart Flower and some Zhi Nature Pills which I concocted. It should be useful for you to merge your primordial spirit and fleshly body." "It is actually a Underworld Heart Flower? I''ve always been looking for this item but to no avail. You''ve been of great help to me once more," Gu Yongxiao took over the storage ring excitedly before continuing, "Many thanks, you are a brother who I, Gu Yongxiao, acknowledge. Since we''re brothers, we need not be overly courteous with each other and I really need to leave now. Remember what I said and there are a total of thirteen pages in the Book of Luo. Once you''ve collected all thirteen pages and stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage, you wouldn''t need to fear the Seven Underworld Palace anymore¡­" Looking at the three pages of the Book of Luo in his hand, Mo Wuji was starting to admire Gu Yongxiao''s generosity. How could he not know about a treasure like the Book of Luo? He couldn''t believe that Gu Yongxiao simply gifted a treasure like this to him. Back then, he managed to save Murong Xiangyu''s life and protected the seven pages of the Book of Luo but the truth was that if it wasn''t for Mo Wuji''s principles, the seven pages would no longer be in any relation to Murong Xiangyu anymore. For his saving grace, Murong Xiangyu merely offered two pages of the Book of Luo to him and many years later, she even requested for Mo Wuji to return the two pages of the Book of Luo back to her. Out of the thirteen pages of the Book of Luo, he had three and if he included the three that he just received, he had a total of six with him now. Mo Wuji kept these three pages cautiously into his storage ring and he decided to refine all six pages of the Book of Luo when he had free time.Collecting all thirteen pages of the Book of Luo might be slightly difficult but Mo Wuji didn''t mind because with the six that he had with him in addition to the one with Cen Shuyin, he would have seven pages. Even if Murong Xiangyu managed to obtain all the other pages of the Book of Luo, she would still have one less than him. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to inquire more about the Seven Underworld Palace from Monk Da Ning, a faint whirlpool was formed up from the surface of the sea not too far away from them. Initially, this whirlpool wasn''t very obvious but breaths later, this whirlpool had grown into a giant whirlpool and any spiritual will which landed on it would swept right into it. "Haha, the pathway had finally appeared. Mo Wuji, I shall take my leave first¡­" Monk Da Ning shouted and he kept his flying ship before dashing into the whirlpool. He didn''t even stop to answer a question from Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was speechless because he knew the intention of Monk Da Ning. Monk Da Ning was afraid that Mo Wuji might want a share of the items in Yuan Jie''s storage ring and it seemed that the items were pretty decent. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have left without trying to learn about Mo Wuji''s Winding River and whirlpool domain. Mo Wuji was also desperate to enter this passage to leave the Immortal World, he rapidly removed traces of the deathtrap and garotte arrays which he installed earlier on. For some unknown reason, Mo Wuji still felt some fear and trepidation after killing this Yuan Jie which was why he didn''t wish to leave any traces behind. Mo Wuji just cleaned this place up when he felt a cold energy locked onto him. The energy seemed to be growing exponentially and Mo Wuji suspected that if he didn''t leave right now, he would never be able to do so. At a moment like this, why would Mo Wuji still hesitate as he instantly garnered immortal energy to charge right into the whirlpool with all his might. Half an incense later, a blurry figure appeared where the fight occurred. The only difference was that the whirlpool at the Great Desolate Sea Domain was no longer around. ¡­ Just as Mo Wuji entered the whirlpool and a mighty energy swept him in and despite being unable to harm Mo Wuji''s body, Mo Wuji found that he was completely unable to manipulate this energy. At the very same instance, Mo Wuji felt as though he had transcended through countless of space as scenes after scenes appeared and changed within his mind. After an unknown period of time, that sweeping energy weakened and Mo Wuji was finally able to stabilise his body before extending his spiritual will outwards. A humongous piece of half grey half white flat stone was suspended in mid air with absolutely nothing on it. Mo Wuji landed right on this humongous piece of flat stone. A restraining sensation flooded Mo Wuji''s mind and when Mo Wuji tried to use his spiritual will, he realised that something seemed to be blocking off his spiritual will. Despite not being able to extend his spiritual will outwards, Mo Wuji''s eyes fell right on seven pitched black boundless voids in front of him. The boundless voids of these seven pitched black voids was divided into seven different positions on the half grey half white flat stone and they looked extremely clear. One look at any one of the seven voids gave the feeling that entering any of them would be equivalent to entering an endless world. In fact, there were three words beneath his feet which read ''Seven World Stone''. Mo Wuji was dumbfounded at the sight of this because he was certain that all seven voids would lead to seven different worlds but the question was: Which one should he enter? Mo Wuji thought of Bai Ye and Luo Zizai. If he had their ability to prophesy, he would know which one of these seven voids he should be entering. It was truly good to have one more skill and after pondering for half a day, Mo Wuji sighed and shut his eyes as he entered the seemingly closest pathway to him. An extreme dizziness could be felt and no matter how formidable Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness was, all he could see was the constant rotation of space in front of him. Every time his spiritual will tried to extend outwards, he would enter a new space in the very next instance and the spiritual will which he tried to extend would disappeared without a trace. After who knows how long, Mo Wuji finally landed on solid ground. Even though trembles like these were extremely strong, it was nothing much when compared to Mo Wuji''s even more formidable fleshly body. A cold wind which contained pressing Yin energy was felt and Mo Wuji instantly expanded his domain and extended his spiritual will and sight. This was a desert wasteland in which the boundaries couldn''t be spotted at all and on it were closely packed ancient skeletons. Also, there was also a pile of discarded weapons and incomplete magic treasures made of unknown materials¡­ When a type of desolate killing energy was felt, Mo Wuji knew that he was currently at an ancient battlefield. Even if the surrounding was vast and there were no signs of living plants in the wasteland, Mo Wuji could still sense the endless killings of a very powerful army. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath and knew that this was definitely not an illusion. This piece of desert wasteland was most certainly a battlefield. Moreover, this wasn''t an ordinary battlefield but a battlefield which immortals fought on. Mo Wuji bent down to pick up a piece of broken magic treasure and found out shockingly that this magic treasure was not made of ore but the bones of a certain type of demonic beast. Mo Wuji was after all a Grade 6 Immortal Smithing Master and under Xu Guren''s guidance, his smithing standards rose tremendously quick. If it wasn''t for the many incidents which happened afterwards which made him focused on specialising on Array Dao, he could have been a Grade 7 Immortal Smithing Master already. There was no sun in the sky and it looked like a gloomy day as the surrounding looked vast and obscured. Mo Wuji had absolutely no clue as to which direction he should be heading towards now. After staying at the same spot for almost two hours, Mo Wuji suddenly heard a faint and indistinct sound of killing. Someone was still fighting? Mo Wuji hurried over and one hour later, he could only hear the faint sound of killing but not any fighting scene. Could this be an illusion? Mo Wuji immediately condensed his spiritual eye. With the spiritual eye, a majestic scene appeared in front of him. In the wilderness far away from him was countless of people fighting against each other. Mo Wuji saw immortals, herds of demonic beasts and cultivators filled with magic energy¡­ The scene reminded Mo Wuji of back when he was at the Zhen Mo Continent where cultivators of Zhen Xing, alien troops and demonic beasts clashed with each other. As compared to back then, this scene in front of him was much more sensational. Mo Wuji confirmed that there were many cultivators with much higher cultivation level than him but was curious as to why wasn''t there anyone fighting in mid air? Could this be a restricted space? Mo Wuji immediately tried to lift himself off and his expression turned ugly. This was indeed a restricted space which even he couldn''t detect. Only when he tried did he find out that it was impossible to fly here. Fortunately, he still had his Wind Escape Sacred Art and teleportation because otherwise, it would really be stressful to even try to survive in a place like this. Previously, Mo Wuji was still hoping that Cen Shuyin might choose the same world as he did. However, Mo Wuji only had one wish now and that was for Cen Shuyin not to have chosen to enter the same place he did. Chapter 746: Heaven’s Beyond Corridor Chapter 746: Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Desolate bugle horns and killings were intertwined together as humans were falling like wheats that were being cut off. Mo Wuji noticed that the immortals were starting to retreat but the opponents didn''t seem to be chasing after them as they rushed to collect spoils of the war instead. The remaining spoils of the war were collected very quickly and all that was left were basically skeletons. The entire battlefield was emptied out and there wasn''t even a single bird flying across. Mo Wuji retracted his spiritual eye and was getting hesitant. He didn''t know if he should approach the immortals camp or leave this battlefield which gave him so much uncertainty. After careful considerations for half a day, Mo Wuji finally made his mind up to approach the immortals. After all, he was also a human and immortal himself. The very least he could do would be to find out where this place was. Mo Wuji extended his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel. After one hour, Mo Wuji reached the boundaries of the battlefield of the most recent battle. This place was still stained with fresh blood and deathly auras. Looking at these disposed skeletons on the wasteland, Mo Wuji sighed at how cheap the human lives were. Whether it was the losing side or winning side, as long as you perished, your body would remain on this wasteland. To make things worse, the survivors would only bring away your magic treasures and cultivation resources with absolutely no regard for your dead body. Just as Mo Wuji was about to pick up a broken sword equipment to inspect it, his extended spiritual will trembled. Someone''s there? Mo Wuji retreated a few metres and his Half Moon Weighted Halberd landed right in his hand. Very soon, he realised that there was black robe person lying on side of the ground. Judging from the robe, Mo Wuji guessed that this black robe person should belong to the demon race. The energy surrounding that person was extremely unstable and it was evident that the person could die any time soon. Mo Wuji walked over and he saw clearly that the person was a woman. The originally tied up bun was completely let down because of this war. Her clothes were being torn apart and Mo Wuji could tell she was a woman because of her slim waist. Presently, her entire body and half her face were covered with blood while the fatal wound was on her chest. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on it and could clearly sense that there were deathly aura looming around the wound of the woman''s chest. If she didn''t receive treatment soon, she wouldn''t last much longer. As if she could sense Mo Wuji''s arrival, the woman struggled to lift her head up to look at Mo Wuji. When she saw that Mo Wuji was a human, traces of disappointment flashed across her eyes. In fact, even her hand, which was about to send pills into her mouth, started trembling. Mo Wuji was well aware of the pill in her hand and knew that it was an ordinary Drizzle Pill. A pill like this could recover some immortal energy but would be of no help to this woman''s injuries. Moreover, this woman didn''t even possess a storage ring so Mo Wuji had no idea where her pill came from. Mo Wuji took out a Green Bodhi Pill to send it into the woman''s mouth. The severely wounded woman was immensely shocked when she saw that Mo Wuji didn''t kill her and even gave her a pill. However, she swallowed the pill instantly before looking at Mo Wuji in disbelief and shock. The wounds visible on her body were healing at an incredible rate and the deathly aura looming around her wounds started to dissipate and then disappeared in a blink of an eye. Less than half an incense later, the black robe woman sat up and wiped off the blood stain on her face as she revealed a beautiful pale looking face. Mo Wuji was praising in his heart because this woman wouldn''t lose in terms of appearance to Ji Yue. In fact, as compared to Ji Yue''s pretentious look, this woman was much more pleasing to the eye. It seemed like the demon race did not just have weird and odd looking fellas. "This is a Green Bodhi Pill? A Tier 7 immortal pill?" The black robe woman looked surprisingly at Mo Wuji. In a place like this, a Green Bodhi Pill would be equivalent to an extra life. And this immortal human race man actually used it to save her, this was simply¡­ "That''s right, that was indeed a Green Bodhi Pill. However, this pill is not for you to consume it for free. I want¡­" "Kill me then," The woman suddenly shut her eyes as she said this. Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at this woman because he was really confused so he asked, "Why would I want to kill you?" The woman opened her eyes and traces of ridicule flashed across the corner of her eyes before saying, "I can die or even give up anything I have on me but the only thing I refuse to give away would be my pure body." The woman''s voice was slightly hoarse yet it was extremely pleasing to the ear. Mo Wuji said helplessly, "I believe you have misunderstood me. I only wanted to find out from you where we are and which world was this? And today, I witnessed the fight between humans and demons so what was this about?" "You''re a foreign person?" The woman finally understood and started sizing Mo Wuji up. Mo Wuji didn''t choose to conceal anything, "Yes, I am a foreign person but I am considered to be part of the human race. I was about to head there and inquire more but I met you so I decided to rescue you so I can inquire about the specifics." The woman let out a long sigh as she looked pitifully at Mo Wuji, "Many thanks for using the Green Bodhi Pill to save me, my name is Lou Si. We are at the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor and I don''t know if you''re considered lucky to end up here¡­" Lou Si didn''t continue speaking as she evidently believed that Mo Wuji''s luck was sh*tty. "Heaven''s Beyond Corridor? Why would it have such a odd name?" Mo Wuji was gaining interest in this place. Lou Si looked at the surrounding battlefield before saying, "Why don''t we go somewhere else to talk? This isn''t a place we should stay for a prolonged period of time. Hold on, let me listen." Before Mo Wuji could say anything, Lou Si got onto the ground with one ear sticking onto the ground as if she was listening to something. Moments later, two shadows dashed towards Mo Wuji''s direction. Very clearly, one of them was running while the other was chasing. The one running was an demon race cultivator while the one chasing was the human race. Mo Wuji just managed to differentiate the two people and a black radiance was shot towards him. The one who attacked was the demon race and because he felt that Mo Wuji''s cultivation level was average, this radiance was intended to kill Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was enraged and he didn''t even bother using his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he simply threw out a punch without hesitation. It was an ordinary looking punch but because the escaping demon race man''s cultivation level was merely half a step into the Immortal King Stage, Mo Wuji''s punch destroyed his spirit and soul as he was sent flying. Without waiting for him to land back on solid ground, the chasing immortal slashed the demon race man''s head apart. "Thank you for helping me block this fella off," The first thing the immortal did was to grab the opponent''s storage ring before clasping his fist towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded and didn''t speak much. The truth was that before this immortal attacked, Mo Wuji had already killed the demon race cultivator with his punch. However, he had no interest in the storage ring of a cultivator who was merely half a step into the Immortal King Stage so he didn''t bother disputing with the immortal. This immortal shouldn''t have spotted Lou Si, who was lying among the bodies of people, otherwise, he would have acted against her. "Ai¡­" This immortal noticed the Half Moon Weighted Halberd in Mo Wuji''s hand because after he drew the Half Moon Weighted Halberd before meeting Lou Si, he hadn''t stored. Mo Wuji saw the greed in the other party''s eyes so he hurried to store the Half Moon Weighted Halberd. He had only just arrived here which was why he really didn''t wish to kill any immortals of the human race. "Your Half Moon Halberd looks decent, could I have a look at it?" The immortal clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji as he asked. Mo Wuji had been constantly pursued by people and even an Immortal Emperor couldn''t restrain him. This fella was merely in the elementary Immortal King Stage so even if he revealed the slightest of killing intent, Mo Wuji would be able to discern it. "Apologies, this is my magic treasure and I don''t like to show others," Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. In the Immortal World, when two strangers met each other for the first time and one of them requested for the other to hand over his sacred art or magic treasure, it would be considered as the greatest form of provocation. Mo Wuji was fine with Monk Da Ning asking him about his sacred art because Mo Wuji knew the type of person Monk Da Ning was. If it was any other stranger, asking for someone to show his personal sacred art would not be any different from challenging a person to a fight. "Are you blind?" The Immortal King saw how defiant Mo Wuji was and killing intent started to seep out as he pointed to the medal on his left chest. Why would Mo Wuji bother about the nonsense of this fella so he simply took out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd and struck out an arc of halberd radiance with it. Concurrently, he had already locked that Immortal King within his domain. The Immortal King became enraged as he saw that Mo Wuji was actually daring enough to attack him. The long sword in his hand drew out a circular sword radiance and he could feel a killing intent surging from beneath him. Not good, someone was hiding and attacking him from the ground. The Immortal King instantly wanted to avoid the sneak attack from beneath but was completely trapped because of Mo Wuji''s domain. When he finally realised how Mo Wuji''s cultivation level was higher than him, he shouted in despair because Mo Wuji''s Half Moon Weighted Halberd radiance had already cleaved that Immortal King into two. Lou Si jumped up as she looked worryingly at Mo Wuji. "Many thanks for your help," Mo Wuji clasped his fist but he knew that even if she didn''t help, killing off that Immortal King wouldn''t require much effort on his part. Lou Si sighed and said, "You have basically no where to run now. You killed a member of the demon race and a member of the human race. In the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, you¡­" Mo Wuji furrowed and asked, "You will reveal this?" Lou Si shook her head, "This place is extremely odd. The moment you killed someone of the demon race and tried to enter their turf, the protecting array would sound out. This was similar to the human race and their territory. And the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor only had the demon race and human race because for the remaining tribes like the magic tribe and underworld tribe, they would still attach themselves to either one of these two places. "There''s no other way to solve this?" Mo Wuji was utterly speechless when he heard Lou Si''s words. He had only just found out what this place was but he no longer had anywhere to go. "The only solution to this would be to explain to the human race why you killed that immortal. Following which, you need to hand over your storage ring and everything you have to await the decision of the expert," Lou Si explained but even she knew that Mo Wuji would never do such a thing seeing how reluctant Mo Wuji was to even show his magic treasure. Moreover, the person which Mo Wuji just killed had a certain status within the camp. "We can talk about this later but you need to follow me first because we can''t stay here for much longer," Lou Si didn''t wait for Mo Wuji to respond as she chose a direction and left hurriedly. Chapter 747: Cosmos Wall Chapter 747: Cosmos Wall Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved the two''s storage rings and fled with Lou Si. Lou Si was extremely fast. Within half a day, she brought Mo Wuji to a bustling city district. There were a few huge words hung outside the city square - Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square. Before she entered the city square, Lou Si took out a black cloth and covered her face. Clearly, she also knew that her appearance was simply disastrous. Mo Wuji saw the people streaming in and out of the city square, and to his astonishment, he found that these people were from the demon race, the human race, the devil race, and even some unknown race. Before he could ask Lou Si about this, two cultivators, that were originally quarrelling, started to fight. Everyone around them hurried to make way. Soon, the human race cultivator was killed. The other cultivator, a person of the demon race, picked up the human race cultivator''s storage ring and fled. During the entire process, no one came forward to stop them. No one even seemed to care. "Lou Si, didn''t you say that I can''t come to the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor? What''s the meaning of your action? And what''s with this city square, why are there people from every race?" Mo Wuji asked warily. Lou Si did not seem to mind as she walked into the city square. She said in a hushed voice, "I said you can''t go to the human race district and the demon race district. This is the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. No matter what race you are, you can come here. Everyone only comes here for one purpose - trade. Did you see those two people fighting just now? It was because they didn''t come to a common consensus in their trade." "You can kill a person just because you didn''t come to common terms?" Mo Wuji started to sweat. Lou Si sneered, "This place is governed by the law of the jungle; the strong reign supreme here. However, such incidences rarely occur. Usually, people would flee if they weren''t able to win over the other party. Even if a killing actually occurred, it would usually be within the same race." "If it''s like this, then who would dare to engage in trade here?" Mo Wuji was still very confused. Lou Si said calmly, "Prestige is very important here in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. For example, if you were to force a person to buy or sell an item for more than three times, you would no longer be allowed to enter the city square. There''s a monitoring array in the city square which shows the people that force others to buy or sell. Before people trade, they would take a look at your prestige level. Usually, everyone would go to a stall or a merchant house to trade. Roadside transactions like what we just saw are the ones that usually go wrong. The moment something wrong happens, the survivor or the one left behind should explain the situation to the transaction manager of the city square. If no explanation was given, then the cultivators would no longer be allowed back to the city. This would be the case for that demon race cultivator that simply fled." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I can''t enter the human race district or the demon race district, but I can stay here at the very least right?" Lou Si said indifferently, "That''s impossible; this is a city square. If you stay here for more than three days, you will be invited out. This is unless you have a proper establishment here, i.e. a merchant house or a stall. However, an average person wouldn''t even be able to afford a merchant house or a stall. Even if one is able to afford a stall, it would be hard to defend it. Perhaps you might say that you can simply come back every three days. But would you simply continue moving in and out of the city? Then what about your cultivation? If not for cultivation, the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor wouldn''t be that famous." "What''s the meaning of your last sentence?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Lou Si explained, "The reason why the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor is so famous is because it produces a large number of things called green crystal fragments. These things contain a strong heavenly dao energy. If you use them to cultivate, the effects would be better than even the highest quality of immortal crystals. Thus, if you are able to stay and survive in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, your cultivation would definitely rise." Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask what a green crystal was, he saw a man engaging in a trade with a stall. The thing the man brought out was actually a Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit. The Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit was a Tier 8 immortal fruit, and it was an extremely rare fruit at that. If this sort of immortal fruit appeared in the Immortal World, it would definitely be sold in a grand auction. To think that it would appear at some random roadside stall. Mo Wuji stopped. He heard that the man wanted to trade for an Immortal Saliva Pill. He had the Immortal Saliva Pill; it was a sort of healing pill and its effect was far worse than the Green Bodhi Pill that he had given Lou Si. It was merely a Tier 5 healing pill. There was no need to talk about one pill, even one entire vase of pills wasn''t worth a Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit. The Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit was an extremely rare Tier 8 immortal fruit which could be used to concoct the Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill. The Immortal Channel Nirvana Pill could even be considered the best pill to heal spirit channels in the entire Immortal World. How could the Tier 5 Immortal Saliva Pill be even considered alongside a Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit? "I can only give you two Clean Solitary Pills. It''s not enough for an Immortal Saliva Pill." That stall owner said indifferently. Mo Wuji almost spat out. A person actually said that a Tier 8 Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit could only be exchanged for two Tier 4 Clean Solitary Pills? If someone dared to say this to him, his leg would have already flown forward. What shocked Mo Wuji, even more, was that the fella with the Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit was actually contemplating, seemingly considering taking the two Clean Solitary Pills. "Wait¡­" Mo Wuji immediately tried to step forward. He had the Immortal Saliva Pill. That stall owner wasn''t willing to trade, but he was. Only an idiot wouldn''t want this sort of business where you can make a profit of more than a thousand folds. "Hurry and go." Before Mo Wuji could walk over, Lou Si grabbed Mo Wuji and left. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t really understand the reason behind this action, he didn''t say anything. Lou Si had spent more time than him here; so she was naturally more aware of the situation here. The moment they reached a remote alley, Lou Si said hushedly, "Were you intending to exchange for his Hundred Channels Leafless Fruit?" "Yes, what''s wrong?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Lou Si sighed and said, "If you actually called that person out for trade, then you would be dead. Firstly, you would have offended that stall owner. Anyone that can own a stall here definitely isn''t a simple person. Secondly, you would reveal the fact that you have the Immortal Saliva Pill. With your capabilities, a whole mountain of people would swarm you and rob you of your things, even if it meant that they wouldn''t be able to come to this city square anymore. Previously, the value of that Green Bodhi Pill you gave me was already enough to buy over multiple cities. Even in the entire Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, you wouldn''t be able to find it. Thus, you must not reveal that you have such items. If you do, then only death would await you." "Why?" Mo Wuji was starting to feel that Heaven''s Beyond Corridor was rather strange. Lou Si explained, "This place isn''t lacking green crystals, rare ores, or rare herbs. What it''s lacking are smiths and pill refiners. Moreover, there would always be battles every now and then, which makes magic treasures and healing pills extremely rare and precious. Also, any pill refiner or smith would always disappear without a trace." "Then where do these peak grade ores and immortal herbs come from?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. "From the Cosmos Wall," Lou Si said calmly. Before Mo Wuji could even question, she continued, "The Cosmos Wall is in the space in the void above that battlefield you saw previously. After every two to three years, an endless passage would appear above that battlefield. It''s unknown what that passage is made of; we only know that the passage brings boundless green crystal fragments, peak grade immortal herbs, smithing materials, and even supreme magic treasures." "You''re saying these peak grade immortal herbs and materials come from that Cosmos Wall?" Mo Wuji asked in astonishment. "That''s right." Lou Si nodded. "Every time the Cosmos Wall opens, the inside of that stone wall would be filled with countless of peak grade immortal herbs and green crystal fragments. During that time, regardless of race, all cultivators would charge to the Cosmos Wall and snatch the treasures from within." Mo Wuji went silent. After some time, he asked, "Then does anyone know what''s at the end of the Cosmos Wall''s passage?" "No one can pass through the passage. After a certain amount of time, that passage will close. Everyone inside will be swept out and thrown down to the desert wasteland. Because of this, a huge and violent battle would always erupt on that desert wasteland every time the Cosmos Wall closes. Both sides would fight for the rewards from the Cosmos Wall¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Lou Si again and asked, "Previously, that war I saw was because the Cosmos Wall appeared?" "No." Lou Si shook her head. "Sometimes, the Cosmos Wall appears once a year; sometimes, it appears once every two to three years. When the Cosmos Wall doesn''t appear, the two sides would fight for resources. The war you saw previously was due to such a reason." Seeing that Mo Wuji still seemed rather confused, Lou Si continued explaining, "After the Cosmos Wall opens, regardless who you are, and regardless of what you managed to obtain from the Cosmos Wall, the things you obtain would belong to you if you manage to survive and escape the battlefield. However, you would need to hand over a small portion as a fee for the district that you are living in. Every battle was a mutual snatching of resources. A small portion of the spoils of war would also be given to your district. Actually, immortal herbs and smithing materials might be valuable, but the thing that is most valuable here is the green crystal." Mo Wuji finally understood. There were battles that were due to the lack of resources, and the two sides would fight with one another. Also, when he heard of the green crystal, Mo Wuji suddenly recalled the crystal that was used to power Da Huang. Wasn''t that crystal also green in colour? Could it be the green crystal? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji hurriedly retrieved a storage ring. His spiritual will directly tore through the seal and scanned within the ring. The moment a green crystal appeared within his spiritual will, Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with mad glee. This was the crystal that he needed. Not only could this thing be used to power Da Huang, it could also be used for his cultivation. With this crystal, he had confidence that he could breeze through the Immortal King Stage. The Heaven''s Beyond Corridor is truly a good place. This was the first time Mo Wuji felt that this place was not bad. [TL thoughts] So there would be two reasons why there are wars. Firstly, there''s a mad scramble when the Cosmos Wall opens and everyone would battle one another for the items that they found from within the Cosmos Wall. Secondly, a war could be conducted when either side finds that they were lacking resources. This seems more like an Earth-like war. Chapter 748: The Newbie In Heavens Beyond Corridor City Square Chapter 748: The Newbie In Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Immortal Friend Lou Si, do you know how I can obtain a stall in this city square?" After Mo Wuji understood that Heaven''s Beyond Corridor was a cultivation holyland, he felt an even urgent need to establish a foothold here. After that battle with Yuan Jie, he was increasingly clear that he was too weak. Lou Si looked at Mo Wuji awkwardly, and after some brief hesitation, she said, "It''s not impossible, but it''s very hard. The first way is to bribe the trade management for the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor and get them to help. They are the clearest as to which stalls are about to reach the end of their lease, or which stalls are going to be recalled." Mo Wuji asked in astonishment, "So the stall owners only have the rights to run the stall? All the other rights still belong to the management?" Lou Si shook her head, "No. If a person purchases a stall, it would directly become that person''s private property. However, if the owner doesn''t return to the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor in three years, his stall will be taken back by the trade management to be sold or rented to others. Actually, people who are intending to leave the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor would usually notify the trade management to place their stall out for sale. However, I want to remind you that all the people in the management are without conscience. They only care about the benefits. Even though two people might simultaneously present them with great items, they will compare the items and help the one that gave them the item of a higher value. As for the item with the lower value, they definitely wouldn''t return it. And if you want to try to get them to help you again, you would have to offer another item; that previous item you gave them would already have been completely forgotten." Truly corrupt people, Mo Wuji lamented in his heart. He could only continue asking, "Then what is the second method?" "The second method is if you were to know that a stall is going to be put on sale, you can take the initiative to contact the stall owner and purchase the stall directly from him. This method is relatively hard because there basically isn''t any spare stalls here. There''s also one more possible method. Every time the Cosmos Wall opens, there would always be some stalls that become vacant. When that happens, you have to react quickly and snatch one," Lou Si explained. Mo Wuji''s interest was peaked and he asked hurriedly, "Why would some stalls become vacant when the Cosmos Wall opens?" Lou Si sighed, "Because all the cultivation resources here come from the Cosmos Wall. The moment it appears, even stall owners would go there and fight for treasures. Many of them would die in the Cosmos Wall, or die on the desert wasteland battlefield. After they die, their stalls would immediately be vacant. As long as you are able to rush back to the city square before the trade management occupies the stall, then you would have the opportunity of obtaining that stall." "If you do that, then the management would just allow you to take the stall?" "You only need to say that the person who died was your friend or your sect mate. Even though everyone knows that you are lying, because you are the first one that occupied the stall, no one would chase you away." "..." Mo Wuji was left thoroughly speechless. He was actually in this kind of world. "Many thanks for saving me. Unfortunately, I''m unable to help you. I will be returning back to the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor now. But I still want to give you a reminder, even if you occupy a stall, without a certain level of power, you won''t be able to occupy it for long." Even though Lou Si wanted to help Mo Wuji, her abilities were limited and she really couldn''t do a thing. Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "Immortal Friend Lou Si, you''ve already helped me plenty. My name is Mo Wuji." After a short pause, Mo Wuji continued, "Immortal Friend Lou Si, I see that you do not seem to be from the demon race, and your cultivation technique also doesn''t seem to be related to the demon race. If that''s the case, why do you stay with them?" Lou Si sighed and said, "When I first came here, a human race cultivator tried to rob me; so I killed him. You should know, if you killed a human race cultivator, you can only go to the demon race. Thus, I settled in the demon race district, and during every war when the Cosmos Wall opens, I would be battling and killing human race cultivators. There''s no path left for me to retreat now. Actually, I always wanted to leave the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Unfortunately, leaving this place isn''t a simple thing. Immortal Friend Mo, I thank you again for your saving grace. Farewell." "Wait, I managed to obtain some storage rings just now. I will give you one." Mo Wuji saw that Lou Si did not seem to have any storage rings while he managed to pocket two just now. "There''s no need, I was able to hide one. You''re already helped me immensely. Also, if you can have a conflict with any stall owner here, but you can never have a conflict with a shop owner." With that, Lou Si left the city square and disappeared. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart; he could see that Lou Si was truly unable to help him. There was no need to talk about him, Lou Si herself was constantly dancing on the border between life and death. Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of Lou Si. Even though he didn''t know whether she was telling the truth about the storage ring, there was one thing be did know. Lou Si had left very guiltily because she wasn''t able to help him much. Actually, Mo Wuji still had a question he wanted to ask Lou Si, that is why didn''t anyone stay on the desert wasteland battlefield. Unfortunately, Lou Si seemed to have left in a hurry and he didn''t get to ask that question. Mo Wuji decided that he was going to find himself a shop; he had quite a sizeable fortune of immortal crystals. Even though Lou Si said that it was very difficult to find a shop or a stall, he still decided that he was going to ask around each and every one. What if you actually struck one? The first shop that Mo Wuji walked on was one that sold various kinds of materials. The shop was relatively big and there were also many people inside. Even though Mo Wuji guessed that this shop wouldn''t be for sale, he still decided to ask the shop owner. When he heard Mo Wuji asking to buy the shop, that shop owner''s face turned cold instantly and his hand pointed to the exit of the shop. He didn''t even bother answering Mo Wuji''s question. Mo Wuji did not mind as he continued to the second shop. It was exactly as Lou Si had guessed: Mo Wuji had asked 29 shops but not one of them seemed willing to sit down and talk with him. They either directed Mo Wuji to the exit or burst out with profanities. Even though Mo Wuji was being extremely careful, his blatant questioning had incurred the watchful eye of the trade management. Before two of the caretakers could come and stop Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji entered the 30th shop. Mo Wuji also saw those two caretakers. He decided that this was going to be the last shop he asked. If it failed, then he would have to resort to asking the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor''s trade management. If that method failed as well, then he could only go to the desert wasteland battlefield. The desert wasteland battlefield was vast and boundless. Though it wasn''t amazing, he could simply dig a cave under the desert and stay there. There was only one thing that worried him. It was that he hadn''t managed to ask Lou Si why no one stayed at the desert wasteland battlefield. The moment Mo Wuji entered the shop, he was welcomed by a wide arrangement of magic treasures. Most of them were carved using demonic beast bones. Without exception, these magic treasures were very simply fashioned. Even though they could be Grade 6 immortal equipments, it wasn''t because of their smithing quality, but because of their material quality. These magic treasures were simple and plain, their combat power was average, and they wouldn''t be able to effectively release the user''s sacred arts. Mo Wuji did not manage to find even a single good magic treasure. Even without asking, Mo Wuji could guess that these magic treasures were second-hand goods. The shop wasn''t big and there was only a middle-aged man sitting idly at the counter. When he saw Mo Wuji enter, he asked lazily, "What magic treasure do you want?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "May I ask if the shop owner is around?" "That''s me. Could it be that you have some big business deal?" The moment this attendant heard Mo Wuji''s words, his spirit lifted and his back instantly went straight. "I want to ask if there''s any shop in the area for sale?" Mo Wuji asked courteously. "You''re looking to buy a shop?" This attendant stared at Mo Wuji with huge eyes, sizing him up. After some time, he continued asking, "What can you offer?" "Are you selling the shop?" Mo Wuji didn''t say what he was going to offer as he could see the greed into this shop owner''s eyes. Mo Wuji could see through this shop owner''s cultivation; it should be at the intermediate Immortal King Stage. Moreover, this fella should have rushed to this stage as his dao aura was not very stable. Mo Wuji suspected that he could deal with this fella even when he was only in the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. "That''s right, I am indeed selling this shop. However, I need to first see what you can offer." This shop owner''s eyes seemed to glitter. Mo Wuji took out two jade vases and a long jade box, "This is a vase of unique grade Green Bodhi Pills; there''s a total of six pills. The other vase contains Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow. This jade box contains a Grade 9 immortal equipment, Glass Lightning Spear." When he finished speaking, Mo Wuji specially opened the long jade box. Lightning danced around the box and a strong dao aura circulated around the spear within. The Glass Lightning Spear was a spoil of war that Mo Wuji obtained from Lightning Sect''s Qi Junyi. Qi Junyi was an expert at the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage, so his magic treasure naturally wouldn''t be too shabby. Seeing Mo Wuji''s items, a line of drool seeped out the corner of this middle-aged man''s mouth. Mo Wuji''s offer wasn''t too low, but too high. In Mo Wuji''s perspective, the most valuable item here was the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow. But in this shop owner''s eyes, it was the least valuable item here. To him, the most valuable item was Mo Wuji''s vase of unique grade Green Bodhi Pills, then it was the Grade 9 Glass Lightning Spear. In the desert wasteland, each Green Bodhi Pill was enough to save a life. As for the Grade 9 immortal equipment, it was something that he could only dream of. Even though he had all sorts of magic treasures in his shop, they were generally trash. This shop owner''s hand unconsciously moved towards that case of Green Bodhi Pills. Mo Wuji didn''t wait for that fella to touch his vase as his hand moved in a flurry and retrieved his jade vase. At the same time, he asked calmly, "So are you going to sell the shop? If you are, that thing is yours. If you''re not, then I''m leaving." This shop owner woke up from his daze. Right from the start, he had never thought about selling this shop. He simply wanted to see Mo Wuji''s items because there wasn''t any business now. It would be weird if a person going around asking whether he could buy a shop was not a newbie. Since a newbie like Mo Wuji had suddenly appeared in front of him, how could he not consider robbing him? Chapter 749: Cosmos Wall Opens Chapter 749: Cosmos Wall Opens Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I''m selling the shop¡­" This middle-aged man forcefully suppressed his desire to steal as he said dry and heavily. In the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square, shop owners would also be removed from their rights to own a shop if they were to rob their customers. "Then take out the shop''s deed and change the spiritual will imprint," Mo Wuji said calmly. In the cultivation world, many shop''s title deeds were still based on name and identity. However, when it came to the Immortal World, the shop''s title deed was based on one''s spiritual will imprint. To change the imprint would require the agreement from both parties, otherwise, the buyer''s spiritual imprint wouldn''t be able to latch itself on the title deed. "Ok." The middle-aged man retrieved the shop''s title deed and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Send your spiritual will into this jade letter, then pass it to me. I only need to agree to it." Mo Wuji didn''t find this particular because this was indeed how the exchange of a title deed worked. He accepted the jade letter, then imprinted his spiritual will onto it. After which, he returned the jade letter back to the other party. During this entire process, Mo Wuji also placed his spiritual will constantly on the jade letter. He would be able to see whether the other party accepted his spiritual will as the new owner of the title deed. The middle-aged man also knew the meaning of Mo Wuji''s action. He didn''t try any form of trickery as he directly agreed to the transfer of the title deed, allowing Mo Wuji''s spiritual will imprint to become the new owner of the deed and the shop When Mo Wuji''s spiritual will detected this, he retracted it. "I will temporarily keep the title deed with me. I will only hand it to you after you pass the things to me." This shop owner seemed as though he didn''t really trust Mo Wuji. After the transfer of spiritual will, he actually kept this title deed back. Mo Wuji frowned slightly, he could faintly feel that something was amiss. However, against a mere Immortal King with an unstable dao aura, Mo Wuji didn''t worry too much about it. He directly took out the jade box containing the Glass Lightning Spear and handed it over, "This Grade 9 immortal equipment is already in your hands. Now, hand the title deed to me and I will pass you the remaining two items." Back in the Immortal World, the value of the Grade 9 Glass Lightning Spear was countless of folds higher than a vase of the Green Bodhi Pills. However, this wasn''t the Immortal World, it was the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Mo Wuji didn''t stay in this place for long, but he already knew that healing pills were the most valuable things here. "Hmm!" After this shop owner kept the spear, his face turned cold, "Hand the two remaining things over. Since this is a trade, you have to abide by the trade''s rules." Mo Wuji knew that this shop owner was going to try something funny. Logically, the spiritual will imprint on the title deed had already been changed; so this shop should already be his. He didn''t understand why this shop owner would be so stubborn. Could there be some rules that he didn''t know of? Unfortunately, Lou Si was already gone and there was no one else he could ask. Mo Wuji didn''t want to quarrel with the other party; so he retrieved two jade vases and handed them over, "These are the Green Bodhi Pills and the Billion Year Wood Marrow. Hand the title deed over then." The two jade vases were actually empty. Knowing that the other party was trying to play tricks with him, and even though he could easily eliminate the other party, Mo Wuji still didn''t want his items to end up this fella''s hands. This shop owner didn''t check the contents of the jade vases. He casually kept the two jade vases and said indifferently, "Since you don''t want to hand the things over, then the trade will end here." "What did you say?" Mo Wuji''s killing intent instantly erupted. Whether it was Earth or this world that he was in, Mo Wuji had never seen such a shameless person. "I said that I''m not trading with you," This shop owner said coldly. He sneered in his heart, a mere newbie that doesn''t know the rules actually wants to come and purchase a store. In the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, the title deed will have a huge advantage to the shop owner. Even if both parties agreed to change the spiritual will imprint, it will only come into effect after the third day. Thus, the original shop owner can randomly change the spiritual will imprint back to his own on the second day or the third day. This meant that Mo Wuji''s spiritual will could be erased tomorrow or the day after, and this shop owner will still remain as the owner. The reason why it couldn''t be erased on the first day was to give the buyer a little bit of advantage. Mo Wuji didn''t know about all this. He didn''t know that the other party could simply renege on his words even after the items had been handed over. Just when Mo Wuji was thinking of retrieving his Half Moon Weighted Halberd to kill this fella and flee to the desert wasteland, an incredibly bleak-sounding bugle resounded. At the next instant, it seemed like the entire Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square had gone ballistic. With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji saw countless of cultivators charging out of Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square in a frenzy. Even the two caretakers that almost blocked Mo Wuji previously were among them. "The Cosmos Wall actually opened¡­" This shop owner muttered to himself. With a casual sweep of his hand, all the magic treasures in the shop were swept into his storage ring. He rushed out like a delighted little kid, completely ignoring Mo Wuji. Actually, few shop owners have anything good in their shops. Thus, when the Cosmos Wall opens, no one would actually want to rob the shops. The most valuable thing in a shop was the shop itself. The shop itself couldn''t be robbed. As long as you return alive, the shop would still be yours. Mo Wuji, who originally intended to murder this shop owner right there and then, immediately dispelled that thought when he found out that the Cosmos Wall had opened. He did not hesitate to chase after that shop owner. He was still going to murder this fella, but this was not the right place. According to Lou Si''s introduction, there wouldn''t be a huge war before the struggle for treasures in the Cosmos Wall; everyone would first swarm into the Cosmos Wall. Usually, the huge battles would only occur after the Cosmos Wall closes. In less than half an incense''s time, this shop owner had already rushed out of Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square and entered the desert wasteland. At this instant, there were people all throughout the desert wasteland, and every single one of them seemed to be heading in the same direction. The moment Mo Wuji left Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, he directly teleported next to this shop owner and punched out. His first punch was already the Domain Crushing Fist. He wanted to get rid of this shop owner as soon as possible; then take a look at the Cosmos Wall. Everyone in the surrounding immediately felt the immortal elemental energy waves due to the punch. They all moved off to the sides before continuing in their rush; no one stopped to find out what that wave was about. In reality, when the Cosmos Wall opens, there would be too many people heading towards it. Under normal circumstances, no one would stop and fight on the way to the Cosmos Wall. This was because everyone knew about the feast of treasures that could get when the Cosmos Wall opens. In that feast, everyone stands to benefit because the Cosmos Wall was simply an endless cornucopia of treasures. Since that''s the case, why would anyone want to waste their time fighting instead of feasting on the treasures? The only time when there were battles was usually due to some deep enmity. Thus, everyone continued on their own ways when they felt Mo Wuji''s attack. No one really cared about who Mo Wuji was attacking. "You''re courting death. This king originally wanted to spare your life. I never thought that you would be the one to court your own death¡­" When the shop owner felt Mo Wuji''s punch incoming, he instantly raged. He didn''t actually want to spare Mo Wuji''s life. Actually, there was simply something more important to him now: to strike it rich in the Cosmos Wall. At this critical moment, an ant actually dared to lay hands on him. This shop owner immediately retrieved a saver. He wanted to get rid of Mo Wuji as soon as possible. There was an endless amount of treasures in the Cosmos Wall, the time you arrive was the factor that affected how many treasures you could get. "Rippp!" This shop owner''s domain hadn''t even come out on full display before it was torn apart by Mo Wuji''s fist. Similarly, his elemental energy didn''t even get to condense fully on his saber before it was blasted by Mo Wuji''s unyielding power. "Boom!" Immortal elemental energy spilt everywhere. This Immortal King''s saber didn''t get to draw a half an arc before it was sent flying by Mo Wuji''s fist. This fella is at least an Immortal Reverent, this shop owner instantly knew that he had underestimated Mo Wuji''s ability. "Stop. I will hand the things back to you." When he felt Mo Wuji''s overwhelming power, how could this Immortal King shop owner still dare to fight with Mo Wuji? Mo Wuji acted as though he didn''t hear the other party. With his Spatial Imprisonment, he sealed this Immortal King in place. That''s when his Domain Crushing Fist landed straight on this shop owner. "Bang!" This Immortal King, who never even placed Mo Wuji in his eyes, was punched right in the chest. A huge mist of blood burst forth. Mo Wuji opened his palm and grabbed this fella''s storage ring. He also casually shot out two lightning bolts. This shop owner''s primordial spirit had only just left his head before it was reduced into nothingness by Mo Wuji''s lightning bolt. Ever since Mo Wuji made his move, it only took two moves to kill this shop owner. This shop owner didn''t even get to fully display a single move. When they felt Mo Wuji''s power, everyone else made way. No one cared about this trivial matter. At this moment, everyone''s eyes were on the Cosmos Wall. Chapter 750: The Pillage Chapter 750: The Pillage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations An hour later, a vast and endless black hole appeared in Mo Wuji''s spiritual will. This black hole extended down from the void, and countless of cultivators were frantically charging into that black hold. Mo Wuji would even see one or two strands of immortal herbs occasionally falling out from that black hole and down onto the ground. However, no one bothered picking those herbs up; they were only charging into the black hole in a frenzy. So this was the Cosmos Wall. It''s unknown why this Cosmos Wall was filled with so many amazing treasures. Mo Wuji''s figure flashed. Borrowing the power of his Wind Escape Technique, he sped into that whirlpool extending down from the Cosmos Wall. The moment he entered the black hole whirlpool, Mo Wuji felt a whirling and repelling force. This was his first attempt, and because he wasn''t used to it, he was almost pushed out. However, he only needed a short time to get used to the force here. Mo Wuji immediately tried to send his spiritual will outwards. However, he soon realised that his spiritual will, whether it was from his sea of consciousness or his spirit storage channel, was completely unable to be sent out. Fortunately, his bare vision was still able to see the things within 3 meters of himself. He could see that countless of cultivators were still furiously charging upwards. At this moment, some green crystals and ores brushed across Mo Wuji''s body. With a simple extension of his hand, Mo Wuji sent those green crystals and ores into his storage ring. Mo Wuji finally understood why there would always be a huge war every time the Cosmos Wall opens. There were truly so many things in here, and each and every one of these things were related to cultivation. It would be weird if such a treasure haven didn''t incite a huge war. Another few strands of immortal herbs brushed past him. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t bother picking them up. Instead, he activated his immortal elemental energy as he charged upwards at a greater speed. Currently, he was merely at the outer edge of the Cosmos Wall. If there were so many amazing things at the outer edge, then there would naturally be greater things at the inner core of the Cosmos Wall. There were clearly many cultivators with the same thoughts as Mo Wuji as everyone could be seen frantically charging to the top. They would only casually grab the treasures that brush across them. In a place like this, there wasn''t a single battle. There were more treasures here than one could count; who would want to waste time on a battle? After half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji realised that the higher he went, the stronger the revolving repulsion force. Not only that, immortal elemental energy would be expended at a faster rate. If this went on, one would be exhausted of immortal elemental energy and be ultimately expelled out of the Cosmos Wall. Even though he hadn''t truly started picking the treasures in the Cosmos Wall, Mo Wuji finally understood that the stronger ones would be the ones with the greater rewards. They were like fishes swimming against the flow of the river. The stronger ones were the ones that could travel further. Even though Mo Wuji had the elemental storage channel, he did not dare to deplete his immortal elemental energy. The moment he entered this place, he understood that if he were ever to be ejected out, and if he could come back in a second time, he would only be able to pick up the leftovers of others. Mo Wuji subconsciously slowed down, and at the same time, he extended his whirlpool domain. To his pleasant surprise, Mo Wuji soon discovered that his whirlpool domain was able to counter the repulsive force of the Cosmos Wall''s whirlpool; the pressure that he was feeling dropped significantly. With this discovery, Mo Wuji''s speed raised once more. In merely half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji overtook one cultivator after another. There were fewer and fewer cultivators around him. At this point, anyone that could reach this level was much, much stronger than Mo Wuji. Even they did not seem able to overtake Mo Wuji, and they could only watch as Mo Wuji charged past them. When there were no longer any people in his surroundings, Mo Wuji started to collect the green crystals and immortal herbs around him. He was too lazy to even identify the things he was taking. As long as it seemed not bad, he would throw it into his storage ring. Unfortunately, his range of vision was extremely small; it was only around 3 meters. If he could see further, his gains would definitely be immeasurable. 3 meters was probably not even a thousandth of the width of the Cosmos Wall. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji directly condensed his spiritual eye. Immediately, Mo Wuji rejoiced in elation. With his spiritual eye, he saw countless of green crystals, smithing materials, immortal herbs, and even some magic treasures. Of course, there were some cultivators that were still in front of him. Mo Wuji chose to directly increase his speed. He had his whirlpool domain, his elemental storage channel, and even large amounts of immortal pills which could replenish immortal elemental energy. Why must he drink the water that others wash their feet with? Mo Wuji even noticed a hint of ridicule in a cultivator''s eyes when he charged past this cultivator. In his heart, Mo Wuji was thinking that this cultivator was definitely jealous of him. Two hours later, there were no longer any cultivators around him. Thus, he started to collect the treasures. Mo Wuji started to be picky; he could choose the brighter green crystals, the better immortal herbs, ores and materials, and any complete magic treasure were swept away by him. Anything less would directly be neglected; someone else can take them. A day soon passed. The higher Mo Wuji soared upwards, the more treasures he picked. At this point, a strange feeling arose in Mo Wuji''s heart. He started to feel that he wasn''t picking treasures, but rubbish. Because the green crystals he picked were either damaged or fragmented. The immortal herbs were high tiered, but they look like they were thrown away. There were even bruises on the herbs. As for the ores and smithing materials, they might all be Grade 7 and above, but they were mostly scrapped pieces of processing. As for the magic treasures, they were rather crudely fashioned. Occasionally, there were treasures that exceeded the level of immortal equipment. However, their dao auras were clearly off the mark. Could it be there someone up there was discarding these trash? And they were merely staying below the garbage chute? This thought left Mo Wuji speechless. Even though the things he picked up weren''t perfect, they definitely weren''t trash. Take the green crystals, for example, each of them was better than the highest grade immortal crystal¡­ As he thought of this, Mo Wuji jolted. He suddenly thought of the immortal crystal dregs back at Half Immortal Domain; they were merely dregs from the processing of immortal crystals. Wasn''t this scene similar? Could it be that there''s a higher world beyond the Immortal World? That''s not right. There was indeed a world above the Immortal World, and he knew of that world. It was the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji immediately shook his head. If anyone said that the Very High Heavens were the ones to throw these things away, he would be the first one to reject it. Even though the things here weren''t unique or supreme treasures, most of them were of a higher grade than the immortal herbs and materials found in the Broken World. If the Very High Heavens were that rich, they wouldn''t have eyed the things in the Broken World. Also, as long as he could cultivate, why did he need to care about such things? Mo Wuji started to selectively pick the items around him. He primarily wanted green crystals; green crystals were able to raise his cultivation, so they were the most intuitive things that he could use. However, as Mo Wuji got higher, he started to wonder: If he could really reach the other end of this Cosmos Wall, what kind of world would it be? Just when Mo Wuji thought of this, the power behind the Cosmos Wall''s whirlpool force suddenly increased. This force directly shredded Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. This violent power continued to surge forward and it landed heavily on Mo Wuji''s chest. Even though Mo Wuji tried to activate his immortal elemental energy, he had no means of defending against this force. He felt like he was like a falling meteorite, descending downwards rapidly. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart as he furiously tried to activate his immortal elemental energy in an attempt to counter this force. Unfortunately, everything was useless. "Boom!" A huge hole was blasted into the ground. All the bones in Mo Wuji''s body seemed to be out of place and a piercing sensation spread throughout his entire body. He had been forced out of the Cosmos Wall; Mo Wuji''s heart was still filled with lingering shock and fear. Even though he was at God Physique Level 6, that fall almost shattered him. If he didn''t have a God Physique, he would definitely have been dead. As he got through his daze, Mo Wuji finally understood that he wasn''t the only one that was expelled out; almost every cultivator here were also expelled out. The entire air was filled with the sand and dust formed from all the impacts. The Cosmos Wall''s time had come to an end; this was Mo Wuji''s first thought. Indeed, just as he thought of this, he saw some treasures fall loosely from the Cosmos Wall and scattered in all directions. All the cultivators that were forced out like Mo Wuji started to furiously fight for those treasures. There were some cultivators like Mo Wuji who also suffered relatively heavier injuries because they climbed too high. They were unable to react quickly, and as a result, they were ambushed and their storage rings were stolen. A Grand Luo Immortal saw that Mo Wuji seemed to still be in a daze and he directly shot a sword light towards Mo Wuji. Before it could even reach Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji had already sprung out and punched outwards. He easily killed this Grand Luo Immortal and he casually swept away this Grand Luo Immortal''s ring. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji finally understood why he was able to climb the highest. It wasn''t merely because of his strong whirlpool domain, but it was also because many people didn''t dare to climb as high as him. If one climbed too high, they would be forced out with greater pressure. Even an Immortal Emperor would be heavily injured or killed by that force. Mo Wuji ruffled his hair. Indeed, the ignorant were fearless. It was due to his ignorance that he climbed that high. In reality, if not for his God Physique, and perhaps if he was even a level lower, his body would be a bloody mess on the ground right now. No wonder why those people looked at him with contempt when he raced upwards. It wasn''t jealousy, but disdain. Seeing that there were many people still pillaging for treasures, Mo Wuji didn''t take part. Because of his spiritual eye and the height he reached, he had already obtained enough treasures. He would leave this place first. He had killed that shop owner, and according to the rules that Lou Si told him, he only needed to be the first to return to that shop to be its owner. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and he sped away. However, before he could even get to 50 kilometres, he was blocked by a force. Before Mo Wuji could check what this force was, he heard shrill cries behind him. Chapter 751: The Messy Battle Chapter 751: The Messy Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji discovered, in aghast, that the war had escalated; countless of people were engaged in slaughter and battle. Indeed, the human race were fighting against the demon race. As for the other races, some fought on the side of the human race, while others battled on the side of the demons. The entire battlefield was a mess; it resembled a scene from Hell. Indeed, there would be a war every time the Cosmos Wall opens. Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, a powerful force landed on his back, dragging him back into the battlefield. Before Mo Wuji could even examine what was the force that was on his back, several beams of light shot towards him. Mo Wuji could only wield his Half Moon Weighted Halberd and block against these light. However, he didn''t have any intentions of counterattacking. If it was just a few people, then he could just kill them. However, there were countless of experts here, they numbered the tens of thousands; it was impossible for him to kill them all. Moreover, he had killed cultivators from both the human race and the demon race; so he didn''t belong to either side. To be honest, even he didn''t know how the two races were able to distinguish each other. Mo Wuji tried his best to stay at the edge of the battlefield. In a short period of time, he finally saw through it. The immortals on the side of the human race had a faint yellow aura circulating around them. Mo Wuji paid special attention to one particular human race cultivator; every time this cultivator kills a demon race cultivator, a mark would form on the jade bracelet on his wrist. Depending on how strong the demon race cultivator he killed was, the energy behind that mark would vary. On the other hand, the demon race cultivators had a faint green colour around them, and they also had a similar jade bracelet on their wrists. Clearly, there would be rewards depending on the degree of the marks on the bracelets. Mo Wuji didn''t have any bracelet; so he was even less willing to take part in this war Mo Wuji retreated to the edge in self preservation. At the same time, he started to looking out for immortals that didn''t have jade bracelets. After some time, he finally found a cultivator without a bracelet like him. This cultivator was also retreating to a corner. Unfortunately, he was actually surrounded by cultivators from both the human and demon race. Within instants, he was killed. Mo Wuji discovered that killing the human race cultivator that killed this person actually had two new marks on his bracelet. Moreover, the energy within these two marks was very strong. An additional mark was actually rewarded. From the looks of it, this war didn''t allow those that didn''t belong to either side to exist. Mo Wuji started to feel the aura around himself; it was actually yellow with a tinge of green. This meant that he had killed both human and demon cultivators. Anyone that killed him would receive twice the rewards. Indeed, just as Mo Wuji became cognizant of this fact, a few waves of killing intent surged towards him. At this moment, he would be a fool if he continued to fight. He did not hesitate to flee. When the cultivators that attacked Mo Wuji saw him disappear, they didn''t chase after him. It was just that when Mo Wuji came to a stop, more attacks came over. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart, he knew it would be hard for him to rest during this war. Fortunately, he had his Wind Escape Technique and his Spatial Teleportation. Otherwise, he could only die once he was surrounded. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood why this place didn''t allow flight; it was to prevent people from escaping. At the same time, he became clear about what had prevented him from leaving; it should have been a trap array. This trap array was rather peculiar, it seemed to appear because of the Cosmos Wall. If he guessed correctly, this trap array would only disappear when this war ends. Before this war ends, all those that took part in the pillage of the Cosmos Wall must take part in the war. No wonder one must join a side in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. If not, it would be extremely hard to survive in such a war. Even though he had his spirit storage channel and his elemental storage channel, as well as a whole pile of healing drugs, this constant state of fleeing was exhausting him greatly. Unfortunately, he hadn''t know of these rules. If an average person knew of these rules, they would probably hide within Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square and not take part in the pillage, right? But to Mo Wuji, he would still come even if he knew the rules. The benefits from the Cosmos Wall were truly overwhelming. The messy war got messier. There was no order or war tactics; everyone simply engaged in mutual slaughter. If he was an observer that didn''t understand the reason behind this war, Mo Wuji would definitely have looked toward them with disdain. This war was simply a low-level one; everyone was basically fighting individually and their killing intents were directed everywhere. However, the current Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t look at this war with disdain. Because, he knew that this war could only be like that. Everyone was only in this messy battle because of the pillage of the Cosmos Wall. This war wasn''t really a battle between two sides; it was just a random collection of people fighting for themselves. It was completely impossible for there to be war tactics. Moreover, the purpose of this war wasn''t victory, but survival and cultivation resources. The selfishness of cultivators was on full display in this war. The war lasted for an entire day. Mo Wuji was thoroughly drenched in sweat. Even though he didn''t kill a single person, his difficulty was at least a hundredfold more than others. During this entire war, he didn''t get to stop and rest; he could only flee constantly. If he rested for even a moment, he would be drawn into battle. If not for his God Physique, the magic treasure light that constantly brushed against him would have already left his entire body filled with scars. Seeing the people retreat in two directions, Mo Wuji knew that both sides were equally matched. He also hurriedly retreated in the direction of the city square. It was just as Mo Wuji had expected. The moment the war ended, the trap array that confined him had disappeared without a trace. He was able to easily leave the area. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he increased his speed. If not for his spirit storage channel, his elemental storage channel and his God Physique, he would have either died or suffered devastating injuries. At this moment, a human race man in earthen robes stared at the direction that Mo Wuji disappeared in and frowned. Mo Wuji''s aura was both yellow and green; ostensibly, Mo Wuji had killed cultivators from both sides. This wasn''t what surprised him. What surprised him was that a person like Mo Wuji, who didn''t have a bracelet, was actually able to survive to the end of the war. Supposedly, those without bracelets and didn''t belong to a side were the fastest to die. Unfortunately, by the time this fella noticed Mo Wuji, the war had already ended. Thus, he didn''t know that Mo Wuji had an amazing Wind Escape Technique. If he did, he might have actually chased after Mo Wuji. ¡­ By the time Mo Wuji reached Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square, he found that there were only a few people there. Mo Wuji immediately headed towards that magic treasure shop. He had already killed the shop owner. Even if he didn''t have the title deed, it should still belong to him if he was the first to occupy it. The first thing that Mo Wuji did was to completely remove all the arrays protecting this shop, and replace them with a new one. Just when he was about to complete his array, he heard sounds of chatter gradually getting louder. Mo Wuji knew that the main batch of people that went to the Cosmos Wall had returned. Before Mo Wuji could use the defensive array to seal the shop, the shop''s doors were struck open. "Who are you?" The person at the door was a relatively thin man. He stared and frowned towards Mo Wuji. "This shop has already changed owners. I am the new owner of this shop," Mo Wuji said indifferently. This thin man was only in the early Immortal King Stage, this was even weaker than the previous shop owner. Mo Wuji really didn''t place such a person in his eyes. The thin man stared at Mo Wuji for quite some time, then he suddenly chuckled, "You want to make use of Mao Hu''s death to occupy this shop?" Mo Wuji thought in his heart: This was really my intention. "Let me give you some advice. Leave now, otherwise, you won''t be able to escape with your life." Seemingly seeing his words were exactly the case, this thin man did not even wait for Mo Wuji to say anything before he said that coldly. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t really understand the rules here, he wasn''t going to simply give the place that he would be living in away. After battling in the desert wasteland battlefield, Mo Wuji had a faint feeling that the battlefield was a strange place. It might actually be dangerous for him to enter the battlefield alone. "I will give you three breaths of time to leave my shop. Otherwise, don''t blame me for laying hands on you." Mo Wuji''s tone also became cold. This was clearly a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Without power, this fella could kneel on the floor and it would still be useless. This thin man swept his gaze across Mo Wuji disdainfully, then he suddenly placed his hand on a talisman that was at the entrance of the shop. Mo Wuji immediately felt slight ripples in space. He immediately understood what happened, that should have been a talisman that was used to alarm the enforcers. He actually didn''t notice it previously. Indeed, two figures soon sped over. One of them was an early stage Immortal Reverent, while the other was a late stage Immortal King. Chapter 752: Furious Cultivation Chapter 752: Furious Cultivation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This place was abundant in cultivation resources; thus Immortal Reverents weren''t a rare sight. Mo Wuji believed that if he could enter seclusion for a period of time, he would also be able to reach the Immortal Reverent Stage. These two figures were extremely fast. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had only just detected these two and they had already landed in front of Mo Wuji''s shop. That Immortal Reverent coldly swept his eyes across Mo Wuji, then he snorted coldly, "Who dares to disobey the rules?" This thin man bowed, "Lord Enforcers, this is my shop. I sold it to Mao Hu, and we have previously agreed that this shop would automatically be returned to me if Mao Hu dies¡­" Mo Wuji''s heart sunk; there was actually such an agreement. "I''ve gotten wind of the tragic news of Mao Hu''s death; so I came back to take back the shop which belongs to me. I never expected that someone would come an occupy it first." As this thin man finished speaking, he had already retrieved a signed jade letter. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on that jade letter; it was indeed an agreement with Mao Hu. As he felt the spiritual will energy on that agreement, Mo Wuji knew that this jade letter was not fake. The Immortal Reverent Enforcer received the jade letter and scanned it. Thereafter, he stared at Mo Wuji and said coldly, "You should have heard of the rule that the first person who occupies a shop once the shop owner dies would own the shop, right? Well, let me tell you. Even if this rule exists, you are not qualified. Because only people that have spent a minimum of five years in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square can make use of this rule. If I''m not wrong, you haven''t even been here for more than a month." Mo Wuji jolted and he inwardly cursed Lou Si. She actually neglected to inform him of such a critical condition, was she trying to screw him over? "Cripple your dantian, hand over all your belongings and follow us." This Immortal Reverent''s tone was filled with contempt. This kid didn''t even know about the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square''s rules and he decided to learn from others and snatch for shops. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Are you saying that I can''t purchase this shop? And that I don''t have the rights to purchase a shop?" In reality, this was a question that worried Mo Wuji. If there was indeed a rule that restricted the purchase of shops to people who only stayed here for a certain number of years, then he would have to escape from here. "Anyone can purchase shops. As long as you are able to show the title deed that you got from Mao Hu, then this shop would belong to you." This time, the one that was speaking was that late stage Immortal King. In reality, except for Mo Wuji, everyone else was sure that Mo Wuji would definitely be unable to take out the title deed. Unless there were unique circumstances, who would be willing to sell a shop in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square? Mao Hu definitely wouldn''t sell the shop before heading to the Cosmos Wall, because the moment the Cosmos Wall opens, every single shop would have a surge in activity. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he didn''t understand the reasons behind Mao Hu''s previous actions, the title deed of this shop definitely belonged to him. Mo Wuji retrieved the title deed and placed it on the counter, "This is the title deed of my shop." Besides Mo Wuji, the other three all sent their spiritual will into the title deed. It had already been three days; so the spiritual will imprint on the title deed had been completely changed to Mo Wuji''s. When he saw that Mo Wuji had truly purchased this shop, that Immortal Reverent''s face turned black. With a quick swipe, he slapped the thin man flying out of the shop and snorted, "Bring him away." That thin man was also in aghast, he never expected that Mao Hu would actually dare to sell this shop. However, the spiritual imprint on the title deed could not be faked. Mao Hu had definitely sold the shop. "It was our mistake just now. Since you are the new owner, then you would have to pay for the shop''s land occupation fees." That Immortal Reverent actually clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji apologetically. "How much for one year?" Mo Wuji promptly asked. This Immortal Reverent startled; usually people paid by the month. Ostensibly, this new shop owner was indeed a newbie. This Immortal Reverent even started to wonder how Mo Wuji was able to sign the title deed. Even though he knew that there was something peculiar in the exchange of the title deed, he didn''t ask about it. Such a matter was truly too trivial. "2,000 regulated green crystals for a year." The Immortal Reverent Enforcer answered Mo Wuji''s question. "Then what about consecutive years?" Mo Wuji continued asking. "Two years for 3,800 regulated green crystals, three years for 5,300 regulated green crystals¡­" "I will pay for three years." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to bring out a huge pile of green crystals. He knew what regulated green crystals were. Because the green crystals one could obtain within the Cosmos Wall were of different sizes, the city square had a regulated size for easy transaction. When he took out this pile of green crystals, he had already excluded the extremely small ones and broke down the relatively big ones. This Immortal Reverent Enforcer jolted slightly. Don''t simply see how there were many beautiful and vivid shops in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square. He was very clear that there were very few people who could actually take out five to six thousand green crystals at a single go. And even those minute number of shop owners that could do that, wouldn''t do such a thing. They would use those green crystals to cultivate. After all, raising one''s cultivation was the most important thing. This new shop owner clearer hadn''t been in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square for long, but he was actually able to take out so many green crystals at a single go; this newbie must definitely have some amazing background. Mo Wuji had obtained the shop legally. As for the green crystals, no one would really investigate on it. This Immortal Reverent kept Mo Wuji''s green crystals. Thereafter, he retrieved a jade letter and inscribed the message that he had collected three years'' worth of green crystals. He threw it over to Mo Wuji and said, "This is the proof of collection. There are still some secondary fees, but you can pay them after these three years. As for what happened previously, we have truly disturbed you." With that, this Immortal Reverent and the Immortal King brought the thin man and sped out of Mo Wuji''s shop. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. The reason why he handed three years worth of fees at a single go was because he wanted to enter seclusion. He also didn''t expect that things would be so simple. If he knew that the title deed was so powerful, he wouldn''t have wasted his words and simply flashed it out. However, Mo Wuji soon calmed down. He had finally found himself a place to rest his feet. The first thing he was going to do wasn''t to actually sell anything. Instead, he was going to close his shop and start his secluded cultivation. Knowing that no one would be able to snatch his shop away, Mo Wuji started to install a stronger killing array and a more powerful defensive array. At the same time, he also sealed the reporting talisman at the entrance of his shop. He didn''t need to report anything to the enforcers; he only needed to cultivate. During this period of time, the entire Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square was bustling with activity. The Cosmos Wall had just closed and many immortals brought their spoils to trade in the city square. In the entire Heaven''s Beyond Corridor City Square, there was only one shop that was not open for business. That was Mo Wuji''s magic treasure shop. ¡­ Multiple days later, Mo Wuji had finished installing his various defensive seals. This was when he returned to his room and started to organise his spoils. During this period, Mo Wuji''s greatest gains were the six pages of the Book of Luo. He needed to refine these six pages as soon as possible. Mo Wuji knew that the higher his cultivation, the faster he would take to refine the Book of Luo. Thus, he would only start refining the Book of Luo after he had finished his cultivation. Except for the six pages of the Book of Luo, there was also the Kun Wu Sword. Mo Wuji also intended to refine the Kun Wu Sword after this cultivation session. In this place where experts were born easily, his cultivation was simply garbage. Mo Wuji also took out his gains from the Cosmos Wall. Because he went the highest in the Cosmos Wall, Mo Wuji obtained the best of the resources. Thus, he had no fewer than a hundred thousand green crystal fragments. He also had plenty of Tier 7 to Tier 9 immortal herbs. Except for those that were close to extinct, or those that were extremely valuable, such as the Undying Holy Bamboo and the Emperor Dao Fruit, he basically had all the other varieties of immortal herbs. There were even some immortal herbs that Mo Wuji didn''t recognise. As for smithing materials and ores, there was an even more eclectic range of them. Similar to his immortal herbs, he only lacked the rarest materials. Lastly, he had come to magic treasures. The magic treasure that elated him the most was a flying ship. He felt that this flying ship''s grade exceeded Grade 9. It was just that the smith''s skill did not seem up to mark; so it seemed to barely reach Grade 9. However, Mo Wuji guessed that if he handed this flying ship''s materials to Xu Suren, he might actually be able to forge a flying ship that transcended the immortal grade. After organising all these items, Mo Wuji took out his pill furnace and started concocting pills. Before he started cultivation, he needed to adequately prepare himself. Another month passed. Mo Wuji installed a spirit concealment array, then he retrieved a pile of green crystals and multiple vases of pills. He prepared to go all out and cultivate. If he didn''t raise his cultivation, then he couldn''t do anything else. If he was an Immortal Emperor, why would he stay cooped up here in Heaven''s Beyond City Square? He would directly go take a look at the human race district. Mo Wuji had gotten his hands on some green crystals before. These were the fuel for Da Huang. This entire time, he really wanted to use the green crystals to cultivate, but he couldn''t bear to do it. Now that he had 100,000 green crystals, he could finally cultivate as he wished. With his reverse circulation of his Immortal Mortal Technique, coupled with the brimming energy within the green crystals, his 108 minor circulations merged to form a major circulation in almost an instant. When this happened, the rich energy within the green crystals were furiously sucked out by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji immediately felt the difference. It was as he had predicted; not only was the immortal spiritual energy within the crystal of a higher purity, it even contained a more distinct heavenly dao energy. In less than 10 days, Mo Wuji felt his cultivation breaking through to the intermediate Immortal King Stage. Not only that, he felt that his understandings towards his sacred arts had reached a new level. "Crack!" Following his breakthrough, multiple green crystals reduced into dust. Even though Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, and Ping Fan was extremely rich in immortal spiritual energy, he still wouldn''t have been able to advance to the intermediate Immortal King Stage in a matter of days. He would need years or even decades. But the first time he used green crystals to cultivate, he only needed a few days to break past the early Immortal King Stage and enter the intermediate stage. Moreover, he didn''t even use a single pill. Feeling the heaven-defying effects of the green crystals, Mo Wuji took out another pile of green crystals with greater fervour. The green crystals were furiously sucked dry. As time passed, Mo Wuji''s cultivation also rose rapidly. Immortal King Intermediate Stage Pinnacle, Great Circle¡­ Advanced to Immortal King Late Stage! Chapter 753: Help Again Chapter 753: Help Again Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Lou Si dashed back into the the Heaven''s Beyond City Square with a slightly messy hair and the instance she entered, she heaved a huge sigh of relief as this meant that she could stay for another three days again. Presently, Lou Si had a black veil covering her face and her immortal spirituality was unstable. Evidently, she had yet to recover from her injuries. However, in the very next second, she revealed an expression of despair as a tall girl with a pale face walked towards her. The tall girl might be recognised as a girl because of her voluptuous chest but she could also be considered a man because of the obvious Adam''s apple in her throat. "Lou Si, do you want me to attack you here or do you want to leave with me?" The person walked over to Lou Si while speaking in a ridicule tone. His voice sounded horrifyingly peculiar. Lou Si could even feel her legs shivering and goosebumps forming all over her body. At this moment, she felt as though she was standing in front of an extremely disgusting wiggly caterpillar. Lou Si was well aware of this person''s origins and that he was the bisexual Immortal Reverent Ji Qi of the Heaven''s Beyond Demon Corridor. To be specific, he was a hermaphrodite[1] who had tortured countless of of male and female cultivators. Ever since this person saw Lou Si''s features half a month ago, Lou Si had been constantly on the run. In the midst of her escape, she even killed an intermediate Immortal King which left her with nowhere to run anymore. Because Lou Si was incredibly helpless, she could only escape into the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. However, one could only stay a maximum of three days in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square and naturally, there weren''t any resthouse here for her to stay in. Once the three days were up, one would have to leave and could only return after 24 hours. Naturally, exceptions could be made but it would have to be explained to and approved by the Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s management. Evidently, Lou Si wasn''t an exception so she could only stay for three days, hide outside for one day before coming back to stay for another three days. Lou Si did this despite knowing that this wasn''t a permanent solution to her problem because she was at a complete loss. In the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, she could join the demon race nor the human race so she could only hide here in the city square. She thought of Mo Wuji and she didn''t expect herself to end up in the same predicament Mo Wuji was in two years ago. She wondered how that fella named Mo Wuji was coping now. "Kill me then," Lou Si stared coldly at Ji Qi, who was standing in front of her. She would rather die here than to follow this bisexual person, suffer the cruel tortures and then die in a disgusting manner. Ji Qi smiled, "I like you so much, how can I attack you just like that? I shall follow you and when you are willing to leave, let''s leave together." Lou Si''s heart sank because how could she not know what Ji Qi was planning. One could indeed attack in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square but a reason was needed after the attack. Ji Qi had no reason to attack Lou Si so if he were to attack without a reason in here, he would be listed as ''not welcome'' by the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. Naturally, Ji Qi wouldn''t want this to be the case because the Heaven''s Beyond City Square was of great importance to him. Ji Qi wanted to follow Lou Si because he knew that Lou Si had to leave the city square after three days. The moment she leaves, she would be unable to escape from his clutches. Lou Si didn''t continue looking at Ji Qi because even though his looks were still acceptable, Lou Si still felt extremely disgusted at the sight of a person like him. Currently, she was simply walking dazedly along the Heaven''s Beyond City Square while thinking of the possibility that she would kill herself even before the three days were up. Ji Qi might be strong but he shouldn''t be strong enough to stop her from killing herself right? Half a day seemed to fly past and Lou Si finally stopped as she looked at the crowded city square. She started to wonder what was the difference between killing herself now and two days later. Every second was torturous with this sickening caterpillar watching her. Ji Qi''s horrifyingly sharp voice sounded off calmly, "You can kill yourself and I might not be able to stop it but I can definitely stop you from destroying your body. As long as your body isn''t destroyed, I can still bring you back. Hehe, I can refine a puppet with flesh for me to enjoy everyday." Lou Si shivered as cold chills went down Lou Si''s spine. Moments later, while the cold chill was still lingering within her body, she looked around and eventually sat down the entrance of a magic treasure shophouse. Out of the many shophouses here, this was the only shop which was not opened for business. After walking for so many days, she was so exhausted both physically and mentally that she almost didn''t want to stand up anymore. "Creak!" The door of the magic treasure shophouse actually opened up at this moment. Lou Si subconsciously lifted her head and she was shocked at the sight of the person opening the door of the shophouse. She knew the blue robe youth standing behind her. He was Mo Wuji, the man who killed immortals from both the human race and the demon race and the same man who had nowhere to go two years ago. "Lou Si, why are you sitting outside my shophouse? You knew I was here?" Mo Wuji looked shockingly at Lou Si who was lifting her head in disbelief. As compared to the first time he saw Lou Si, Lou Si appeared much more sluggish now. "Mo Wuji, is this really your shop?" Lou Si finally reacted as she jumped and asked doubtfully. How was it possible that Mo Wuji could manage to obtain a shophouse here? Mo Wuji was able to survive till today only because he had been through countless of incidents that no one else could ever go through. One look at the state at which Lou Si was in and sensing the presence of an odd looking man from further away, Mo Wuji knew that Lou Si was being watched closely. No matter what, Lou Si was considered his friend and was even the one who brought him into the Heaven''s Beyond City Square and explained all the rules here to him. Despite the fact that some rules were not fully explained, which resulted in him being in a disadvantage, Mo Wuji was still highly appreciative of Lou Si. Since they were fated to meet again, he would naturally help a friend in need. "Yes, this is indeed my shophouse. Why don''t you come in and talk?" Mo Wuji said chuckily. He had recently advanced to the Great Circle of the Immortal King Stage, finally stabilised his cultivation and was prepared to look for a place to undergo his tribulation. He certainly didn''t expect to see Lou Si the moment he opened his door. "Alright, alright¡­" Lou Si was in an urgent hurry to enter Mo Wuji''s shop because she was about to go crazy under the watchful stare of the bisexual man. "Hold on¡­" Ji Qi took a step forward to interrupt Mo Wuji and Lou Si. He didn''t expect that Lou Si would actually know a shop owner here in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. If he knew about this earlier, he would have brought Lou Si away forcefully from the start. The blacklist of the Heaven''s Beyond City Square would only be last for three years and he could even find ways to remove his name from the blacklist. Mo Wuji stared intently at Ji Qi and said, "What do you want?" "I want to enter to purchase some magic treasures," Ji Qi reacted to the situation after he saw Mo Wuji''s signboard. The instance Mo Wuji bought this shophouse, he went into seclusion which was why other than altering the protecting array of the shop, Mo Wuji didn''t even change the name of the shop. "My shop has yet to start our business so I shall not see you out," Mo Wuji instantly tried to close his door after saying that. He wanted to find out more about Lou Si''s situation before going out for his tribulation. "Alright then, hand me the girl because she is a slave whom I just purchased. Because of my carelessness, I''ve let her escaped into the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. If you insist on interfering with my problems, I suggest you reconsider how long your shop could last in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square," Ji Qi said in a serious tone. "Scram!" Mo Wuji shouted back angrily as he threw out an array flag to ignite his shop''s protecting array concurrently. If Mo Wuju was in anywhere else, he would have attack already. Despite Ji Qi being in the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage, Mo Wuji was 100% confident in his ability to get rid of Ji Qi. However, he didn''t wish to leave an unfavourable image of himself in the city square as he still wanted to undergo closed doors cultivation here. He felt that if he wanted to leave the Heaven''s Beyond City Square to the Heaven''s Beyond Human Race Corridor, he would need to be strong enough. To be more specific, he felt the need to be at least an advanced Immortal Reverent before leaving. "You¡­" Ji Qi was raging at how Mo Wuji ignite the shop''s protecting array before closing the door. Even so, he didn''t dare to attack Mo Wuji''s protecting array because the instance he do something like that, he would only invite endless troubles for himself. ¡­ "Big Brother Mo, you really found a shop here?" Lou Si couldn''t help but ask to confirm her doubts. Without that bisexual man staring at her, Lou Si felt so much more relaxed and even her mind started to clear up. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Back then, my luck was rather good as I coincidentally met someone who wanted to sell the shop. Tell me what had happened? How did you end up so wan, sallow, depressed and injured?" As he spoke, Mo Wuji handed Lou Si a Green Bodhi Pill once more. Lou Si hurried to reject the Green Bodhi Pill, "My injuries are not serious enough for me to use pills. It will recover after a while so you should not continue wasting such valuable pills on me." To her, Mo Wuji appeared as an extremely wealthy man. Moreover, she noticed that Mo Wuji didn''t really want to explain much about how he got the shop which was why he chose to change the topic of conversation. Mo Wuji placed the pill back onto Lou Si''s hand before saying, "I am able be here only because of your directions. These pills mean nothing to me." Sensing that Mo Wuji wasn''t lying to her, Lou Si accepted the pill appreciatively before sending it into her mouth. If she was alone, she would definitely save this pill up for future use but she was simply too embarrassed to keep the pill in front of Mo Wuji. After the pill dissolved, Lou Si could feel her wounds disappearing one after the other and this was when she started speaking again, "The man outside is Ji Qi, who is a bisexual f*cker. Through the years, countless of man and woman had been ruined by him and it was rumoured that once you have been taken by him, you would disappear from the surface of the world. This was why he was given another nickname called the ''Disgusting Caterpillar''. Because of my carelessness, he saw my appearance which was why I am in trouble now. If you hadn''t open your shop and found me there, I really didn''t know what to do. I didn''t even have the courage to kill myself in front of a disgusting person like him." Mo Wuji said calmly. "You can stay with me for now and leave after I send him away." Sending him away was a lie because Mo Wuji was intending to finish that bisexual man off. That bisexual man was simply way too unpleasant for Mo Wuji''s eyes too. [1]: Another term for Bisexual. Chapter 754: Cosmos Communal Domain Chapter 754: Cosmos Communal Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Lou Si shook her head, "I have nowhere else to go. I''m being watched by that demon and I''ve killed an Immortal King of the demon race¡­" Lou Si didn''t continue explaining her situation as she looked longingly at Mo Wuji. Her current predicament was similar to Mo Wuji when he first came here and if Mo Wuji chose not to save her, she could only await her death. Mo Wuji understood Lou Si''s situation as he took out a jade letter before saying, "This is my land deed for the shop. All you have to do is to leave your stamp on it and be my shop assistant for the time being." For a shop like Mo Wuji''s in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, he was allowed to hire two assistants and once hired, the assistant would also be qualified to stay in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. "Many thanks Big Brother Mo," Lou Si exclaimed excitedly. After all, Mo Wuji had already helped her tremendously by offering two extremely rare Green Bodhi Pills. Now that Mo Wuji came to her rescue yet again, even she felt slightly embarrassed. Regardless of how embarrassed Lou Si felt, she had no choice but to accept Mo Wuji''s help as she quickly left her stamp on the land deed. In a situation like this, she really had nowhere else to go. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Don''t worry about it. You should stay in the shop to cultivate while I head out for a while." "Ah¡­" Lou Si let out a surprised ''ah'' before hurrying to say, "You must not go out now. That bisexual Immortal Reverent is still out there and you must know that he is already in the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage." Lou Si was not unsure of Mo Wuji''s cultivation level but she was certain that Mo Wuji was at most an intermediate Immortal King only. Even if Mo Wuji was in the advanced Immortal King stage, the difference between himself and an intermediate Immortal Reverent, Ji Qi, would be too great. Mo Wuji chuckled, "You don''t have to worry about me. In fact, I am worried he might not look for me." Having cultivated to the pinnacle of the Immortal King Stage, Mo Wuji really wanted to challenge an expert to test his strength before advancing to the Immortal Reverent Stage. "I shall go with you then," Lou Si said casually when she noticed Mo Wuji''s resolve to find Ji Qi. Hearing this, Mo Wuji could only explain himself fully, "I have already felt the calling of the Immortal Reverent Stage and I was preparing to find a place to undergo my tribulation." Lou Si was shocked at Mo Wuji''s intention to undergo the tribulation to become an Immortal Reverent. With the great items in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, it was true that a lot of people could advance quickly but they would only be advancing fast within the same realm. For example, one could advance from the elementary Immortal Reverent Stage to the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage in a very short period of time. However, advancing from the Immortal King Stage to the Immortal Reverent Stage or the Immortal Reverent Stage to the Immortal Emperor Stage was like an uncrossable gorge especially in a place like this. The reasons were simply because of the lack of Draining Immortal King Pills and the Extreme Reverent Pills. The Draining Immortal King Pill was used for a Grand Luo Immortal to advance to become an Immortal King while the Immortal King needed an Extreme Reverent Pill to become an Immortal Reverent. Within the Cosmo Wall, there were indeed the main fruit, Draining Immortal King Dao Fruit, and herb, Ancient Stem Flower, to concoct the Draining Immortal King Pill and Extreme Reverent Pill respectively. However, these would not allow one to advance because they were needed to be turned into pills for it to work effectively. In the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, there was a massive shortage of immortal pills, let alone pills of the same calibre as the Draining Immortal King Pill and Extreme Reverent Pill. Fortunately, Lou Si reacted fast as she explained, "Big Brother Mo, if you are going to advance to become an Immortal Reverent, it would be important that I follow you. It would be troublesome if no one watch your back while you undergo your tribulation so I shall guard you." Mo Wuji was slightly helpless because he knew that Lou Si was talking about normal tribulation for normal cultivators. Under normal circumstances, it was indeed necessary for someone to guard the person undergoing his tribulation. However, why would Mo Wuji fear the lightning tribulation? Not only could he absorb the essence of the lightning, he even had a God Physique Level 6 body so how could the lightning tribulation possibly harm him? "Aren''t you afraid of that bisexual man outside?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. Subconsciously, Lou Si shivered before saying, "It doesn''t matter whether I am afraid or not, if Big Brother Mo is going out for his tribulation, I have to follow." This time round, Mo Wuji finally understood Lou Si''s train of thoughts. Once Mo Wuji fell under the hands of that bisexual Immortal Reverent, the shophouse would be taken away and Lou Si would end up just like before. "You can occupy my shop if anything happens to me and in that way, you would be the shop owner," Mo Wuji replied with a laugh. His guess was that Lou Si didn''t completely understand the rules to occupy a shop here which was why she would give him the wrong information. Lou Si said in a low voice, "Big Brother Mo, I am sorry. Previously, I told you the rules even though I wasn''t entirely sure of it myself." "I am just fooling around with you," Mo Wuji said as he had already walked out of the shophouse. Lou Si hurried behind Mo Wuji because her small life was entirely dependent on Mo Wuji now. If Mo Wuji survived, she would have a chance to survive but if Mo Wuji fell, she would most likely fall too. "Big Brother Mo, I know of a shop which sells the Ancient Stem Flower. Even though we''re unable to turn the Ancient Stem Flower into the Extreme Reverent Pill, it would still increase the chances of advancing to become an Immortal Reverent by a few percentage points," Lou Si, who was following closely behind Mo Wuji, whispered. Mo Wuji shook his hand and said, "You don''t have to worry about this. Oh yes, during the two years I''ve been in seclusion, did anything new happened in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor?" "I''ve heard that the human race recruited an exceptional genius and that he is a lightning cultivator. I''ve heard that he was only in the intermediate Immortal King Stage and managed to kill an elementary Immortal Reverent. This wasn''t the most impressive because rumours were spread that he had already advanced into the elementary Immortal Reverent Stage in merely two years¡­" "What is his name?" Mo Wuji hurried to interject Lou Si''s words. "His name is Lei Hongji," Traces of admiration and envy flashed across Lou Si''s eyes because it was simply too heaven-defying for an intermediate Immortal King to defeat an elementary Immortal Reverent. Even so, the most terrifying thing about him was his progress in two years. Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks as he muttered to himself, "Could this be the battlefield which the Very High Heavens send their disciples to? Doesn''t seem like it¡­" In actual fact, Mo Wuji found Lei Hongji''s rate of cultivation normal because excluding himself, Mo Wuji believed that Lei Hongji progressed the fastest among all the cultivators he had met. "You mentioned about the Very High Heavens?" Lou Si looked curiously at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded, "You''ve heard about the Very High Heavens?" Lou Si answered, "Yes of course, the Very High Heavens is merely one of the many Immortal World planeroid fighting in the Cosmos¡­ Oh yes, I''ve heard that the Lei Hongji was from the Very High Heavens. Besides Lei Hongji, there was also a person called Lai Wen. He actually has a page of the Book of Luo and during one of the war, his Book of Luo was revealed so he had no choice but to put it out for auction. If I am not wrong, the auction should take place about a month from now¡­" "What?" Initially, Mo Wuji was already slightly excited when he heard that he could communicate with the Very High Heavens from here. Now that Lou Si mentioned about the Book of Luo, he could no longer contain his excitement because the final page of the Book of Luo had finally appeared. Mo Wuji was aware that the Book of Luo had a total of 13 pages and he had 6 with him and 1 with Cen Shuyin. Murong Xiangyu had 5 while Mo Wuji knew that the last page was from the fourth level of the Broken World. When he first entered the fourth level of the Broken World, he had already heard that a page of the Book of Luo as well as a Fire Elemental Bead appeared. However, Mo Wuji was still unaware of who was the one who managed to obtain that last page of the Book of Luo. Now he know that the fella who took the last page of the Book of Luo was called Lai Wen from the Very High Heavens. He came to the Cosmos battlefield via the Very High Heavens but eventually, he had to auction out his page of the Book of Luo in an attempt to protect his own life. Once an item like the Book of Luo was revealed, if one wasn''t strong enough, one could only auction it out otherwise, it would act like a written taoist voodoo which was supposed to hasten a person''s death. According to Mo Wuji''s plan, he would wait for himself to advance to become an Immortal Reverent first before refining the Book of Luo and Kun Wu Sword. Now that this last page of the Book of Luo had appeared, he would definitely not let it go. Mo Wuji had a feeling that once he missed this page of the Book of Luo, it would be incredibly difficult for him to find it again. After conversing with Lou Si, he managed to pick out a few important points from Lou Si''s words. The Very High Heavens was basically nothing unique here because there were a lot of other planeroid just like the Very High Heavens. Once the page of the Book of Luo was sold to some other person from some other planeroid, how was he ever going to obtain that last page? "If I had known about this, I wouldn''t have killed that immortal from the human race. Now that I am unable to enter the Human Race Corridor, how am I supposed to head to the auction?" Mo Wuji furrowed his brows as he sighed. "Big Brother Mo wants to join the auction?" Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes but is the auction organised by the Heaven''s Beyond Human Race Corridor? If I want to go to the Human Race Corridor, is there any other way to do so?" Lou Si hurried to shake her head, "Big Brother Mo, the auction isn''t organised or hosted by the human race. It is hosted by a communal domain where different races coexist here in the Cosmos. It is a place where regardless of whether you''re from the human or the demon race, you would be able to enter." "What do you mean?" Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at Lou Si. Lou Si explained, "The Heaven''s Beyond Corridor is actually a corridor suspended along the void of the Cosmos without an end. The demon race occupied one side of the corridor while the human race occupied the other side. In each of the demon and human race''s domain, there would be a transfer array and this transfer array would lead people to the true Cosmos domain. 99% of the people in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor came from the transfer array." The reason why she said 99% was because Lou Si was certain that Mo Wuji didn''t come from that transfer array. Otherwise, he wouldn''t not know all these common knowledge. Mo Wuji frowned as he said, "Even so, I would still be unable to leave the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor ah. I''ve killed a member of the demon race and human race so I have hatred from both side?" Lou Si smiled, "If Big Brother Mo wasn''t a shop owner here at the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, you would naturally be unable to go over. Now that you''re a shop owner, there wouldn''t be a problem anymore. Any shop owner of the Heaven''s Beyond City Square would be able to enter the Cosmos Communal Domain from either the demon race or human race''s domain. Regardless whether they are from the demon or human race, they would not be able to act against a shop owner of the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. The only inconvenience would be the exuberant price for a shop owner to transfer to the Cosmos Communal Domain; it is about 10 times more than the ordinary people." Mo Wuji''s spirits was instantly lifted, "I didn''t know there was such an advantage. Let''s go then, let''s hurry to finish my tribulation and then head towards the Cosmos Communal Domain." To Mo Wuji, the auction for the Book of Luo was not the only reason for his intention to visit the Cosmos Communal Domain. In addition to the Book of Luo, Mo Wuji hoped to ask around for more news of the whereabouts of Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin. Chapter 755: Fighting An Immortal Reverent Chapter 755: Fighting An Immortal Reverent Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When the unpleasant looking bisexual Immortal Reverent Ji Qi noticed that Mo Wuji and Lou Si actually dared to leave their shop and walked towards the exit of the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, he was instantly delighted. He wanted both the man and woman now. To think they actually dared to mess with him, he would want to make this man and woman understand what kind of person he, Ji Qi, was. "Big Brother Mo, should we wait for a while before leaving? That bisexual man is still watching us," Even though Mo Wuji might not be fearful of that Ji Qi, Lou Si was still constantly worried about that intersex fella. Mo Wuji chuckled, "I would be more worried if he doesn''t follow us." Having said that, Mo Wuji dashed out of the city square and Lou Si had no choice but to follow closely behind Mo Wuji. "Oh yes, Lou Si, there is still something I want to ask you. The desert wasteland of the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor is vast and boundless which could conceal as many people as it wished but why didn''t anyone choose to hide there?" Mo Wuji finally asked the question that had been bothering him since the very beginning. Lou Si shook her head as she explained, "I am not too sure of the specific reason but all I know is that whoever tried to hide and stay in the desert wasteland, no matter how strong they were, would not last more than 10 days. Ten days later, they would vanished without a trace. It is only during limitless big war where people could actually stay on the desert wasteland. Honestly, I''ve always been wondering how did you end up on the desert wasteland?" Mo Wuji''s heart sunk at the thought of the possibility that Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin could have been transferred to the desert wasteland. "Big Brother Mo, continue walking forward would be the entrance to the desert wasteland. Are we heading there?" Lou Si interrupted Mo Wuji''s train of thoughts. "Yes, let''s go!" Mo Wuji nodded his head because he was certain that his lightning tribulation into the Immortal Reverent Stage would be terrifying and such terrifying tribulation could only be done in the desert wasteland. Mo Wuji and Lou Si had been out of the city square for less than two hours and Ji Qi had already rushed out to block them, "I really admire your courage but you should at most be only an Immortal King right? To think you would actually dare to snatch a person of mine and even lure me out into the desert wasteland." Ji Qi''s hands were behind his back as he stared coldly at Mo Wuji wondering why Mo Wuji had such courage within him. The reason for his guess that Mo Wuji was at most an Immortal King was mainly because of Mo Wuji''s age; he sensed that Mo Wuji was not old at all. Ji Qi had a kind of ability in which even Immortal Emperors might not possessed. This was his ability to judge the estimate age of the other party. In his eyes, Mo Wuji looked less than a hundred years old and in the Cultivation World, he was like a newborn baby. By guessing Mo Wuji was an Immortal King, Ji Qi was already assuming that Mo Wuji was a genius among geniuses to achieve such remarkable progress in such a short period of time. Mo Wuji raised his hand and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared on his hand as he replied, "I admire you too, to think you actually dare to chase after me." Indeed, Mo Wuji had some admiration for this Ji Qi because having seen himself enter the desert wasteland so fearlessly, normal people would reconsider their decision whether or not to follow them in. However, this fella actually dared to follow Mo Wuji into desert wasteland so Mo Wuji did have some level of admiration for his guts. Lou Si, who was standing by the side, had already drew out her magic treasure anxiously as she stared at Ji Qi. "Why aren''t you acting yet?" Seeing that Mo Wuji only drew out his magic treasure and stood down there, Ji Qi was surprised. "What?" If Mo Wuji didn''t wish to test and see if he could finish off an intermediate Immortal Reverent, he would have started igniting his lightning tribulation already. "Didn''t you lure me here so you can use a deathtrap array you set up against me? You can''t possibly be an Immortal Reverent too right?" Ji Qi asked surprisingly. Having noticed Mo Wuji''s protecting array around his shophouse, Ji Qi guessed that Mo Wuji should be an array master and that the reason why Mo Wuji lured him here would be to use a deathtrap array to deal with him. He, Ji Qi, was also an array master so why would he fear Mo Wuji''s deathtrap array? Ji Qi made this assumption because he believed that if Mo Wuji didn''t make use of a deathtrap array, he would have no chance of winning him at all. Even if he judged Mo Wuji''s cultivation level wrongly, he was extremely confident that mo Wuji was not an Immortal Emperor. Without mentioning that an Immortal Emperor would not be allowed to set up a shop in the city square, an Immortal Emperor wouldn''t even need to lure him out to deal with him. Therefore, it never crossed his mind that Mo Wuji might be an Immortal Emperor. This fella''s observation and deduction skills were pretty decent to think that he could tell that Mo Wuji was proficient in Array Dao just from the arrays he installed around his shop. However, this fella was too arrogant if he thinks that Mo Wuji needed to make use of deathtrap array to deal with him. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to waste any more time as his whirlpool domain extended outwards and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd in his hand drew out a wild and overwhelming sand shadow. The instance Mo Wuji attacked, Ji Qi''s face turned serious because he could tell that Mo Wuji was indeed pretty strong. It was his first time witnessing such whirlpool domain and even his Half Moon Weighted Halberd''s overwhelming desert shadow was not an ordinary sacred art. It was only at this moment when he finally realised that Mo Wuji lured him here to attack him head to head. Ji Qi had seen many mad men but this was the first time he saw a person as crazy and ridiculous as Mo Wuji. However, Ji Qi enjoyed the thrill of battle against a madman like this and it had been too long since he fought a real expert. He wanted this man and woman so that he could tell them that he, Ji Qi, is the strongest man and also the strongest woman around. A circular magic treasure was drawn out by Ji Qi and it swept up an entire sky of immortal energy. Concurrently, Ji Qi''s domain was like waves going straight against Mo Wuji''s domain as his intention was to crush Mo Wuji''s domain forcefully. However, it only took a few seconds for Ji Qi to realise that even though he was in the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage, his domain was unable to even break through Mo Wuji''s domain, let alone crush it. On the other hand, Mo Wuji recognised the circular magic treasure the moment Ji Qi drew it out. It was actually a dressing table. Throughout the many years of cultivation, this was the first time Mo Wuji witnessed a cultivator using a dressing table to fight. The dressing table was like a coloured glass wall as it blocked off Mo Wuji''s torrenting silver water halberd radiance. The sky full of halberd radiance exploded in mid air as it was also unable to pierce through Ji Qi''s dressing table. Lou Si, who was standing by the side, soon realised that she had no chance to help out at all. Whether it was against Mo Wuji or against Ji Qi, the difference in strength was simply too vast. "Boom!" The remaining desert exploded, immortal energy surged outwards and while Mo Wuji was sent flying backwards, he shouted in mid-air, "Lou Si, go all the way to the back." Traces of sadness flashed across Lou Si''s eyes because Mo Wuji and herself were both Immortal Kings yet she was helpless while Mo Wuji was evenly matched against Ji Qi. Additionally, she needed to stand further away so that she wouldn''t get in Mo Wuji''s way or be a burden to him." "If you''re only this strong, you should be accompanying me on my bed tonight," Ji Qi''s sharp laughter could be heard as his dressing table transformed into an entire world and this world was like a massive mouth which was about to swallow Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji let out a loud cry as his Half Moon Weighted Halberd fell from the sky. A Winding River descended as this was his true sacred art. The previous overwhelming sand was merely a simplified version of his Grand Desert. His main intention was to test how great the difference between an intermediate Immortal Reverent and himself truly was. The truth didn''t disappoint Mo Wuji because his immortal energy was not any weaker than Ji Qi''s. In fact, the purity of his immortal energy was greater than his opponent and even his sea of consciousness was broader than Ji Qi''s. The opponent was only stronger in terms of his Immortal Reverent''s dao spirituality. However, it didn''t mean much to Mo Wuji because Mo Wuji never felt that he was weaker in terms of any form of dao. Ji Qi''s dressing table was a world itself and this world was transformed from Ji Qi''s sacred art dao spirituality. There are mountains, water, wind and rain¡­ Any person trapped within his world would forever live within Ji Qi''s dao insights. The pity was that his opponent was Mo Wuji, a creator and and forerunner of the immortal mortal dao. The Winding River turned into silver radiance as it looked like massive and long silver cord being drawn out from a grey space. Ji Qi''s dressing table''s world looked perfect but under Mo Wuji''s long silver cord, a crack started appearing on the radiant dressing table. The gap from the crack might be small but even a small gap would cause the energy of the dressing table''s world to seep out. The world started changing rapidly as the mountains and sea started shrinking and the wind and rain started disappearing. The dressing table remained as a dressing table while the Winding River grew clearer and mightier by the second. Ji Qi''s dressing table looked perfect but it was only on the surface. In Mo Wuji''s eyes, the small world was full of loopholes. If Ji Qi used any other magic treasure to fight with him, he could hold off Mo Wuji for a while but it was simply courting death on Ji Qi''s part to use this type of magic treasure against Mo Wuji. "You are in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage¡­" Ji Qi exclaimed shockingly because even after clashing with Mo Wuji''s sacred art and domain, he was still unable to tell Mo Wuji''s true cultivation level. However, this casual silver Winding River sacred art actually broke his world so he presumed that this must be the power of an expert in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage, or even the Immortal Emperor Stage. If he didn''t know that Immortal Emperors were not allowed to open a shop in the city square, he would have believed that Mo Wuji was an Immortal Emperor. Under the destruction of the Winding River, Ji Qi could no longer underestimate Mo Wuji as immortal energy started surging into his dressing table and his domain charged forward aggressively. Even if Mo Wuji was an expert in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage, he wouldn''t be able to force Ji Qi back like Mo Wuji just did. This meant that the only possibility was that Mo Wuji was in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. "Boom!" The Winding River exploded as the glossy radiance from the dressing table dissipated into thin air at this same moment. The massive explosion of immortal energy and domains turned the entire space between them into a humongous gorge. Ji Qi was sent flying with blood coming out from his mouth. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t regard Ji Qi''s world as extraordinary, Ji Qi''s tremendous immortal energy surged over and Mo Wuji could still feel the impact on his chest and trembles in his sea of consciousness. Despite this, Mo Wuji bubbled forward as he stepped out while the halberd turned into thousands of devastating halberd radiance charging towards Ji Qi. He knew his own strength so he was well aware that even if he hadn''t stepped into the Immortal Reverent Stage, he wouldn''t fear an advanced Immortal Reverent. This was unless the opponent was as heaven defying as Huang Sha or Lei Hongji. Chapter 756: The One and Only Immortal Reverent Lightning Tribulation Chapter 756: The One and Only Immortal Reverent Lightning Tribulation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Stop!" Ji Qi shouted anxiously. At the moment he saw a sky filled with only halberd radiance descending upon him, the halberd radiance was the only thing in his mind and even Ji Qi''s faith was destroyed. If Ji Qi was fighting for his life against Mo Wuji using all his sacred arts, Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to kill him this easily. However, after his dressing table was destroyed by Mo Wuji''s Winding River, his guts shrinked and subconsciously, he kept thinking that Mo Wuji was many times stronger than himself. Moreover, because of the fact that he couldn''t fly and escape here, he had lost all fighting spirit. Mo Wuji would naturally not stop as the halberd radiance destroyed Ji Qi''s domain and Ji Qi was the next one to be torn into pieces by the halberd. Lou Si watched on shockingly at Mo Wuji crushing Ji Qi into fragments and was in a complete daze for a long period of time. Ji Qi was afterall a reputable demon race''s bisexual Immortal Reverent and an intermediate one too. Even if he wasn''t that strong, he couldn''t possibly be so weak that he was killed so simply by Mo Wuji? She suddenly thought of the genius immortal Lei Hongji and how he managed to kill an elementary Immortal Reverent while being at the intermediate Immortal King Stage. Due to this incident, he was already famous throughout the entire Cosmos because the number of cultivators like Lei Hongji could be counted with the fingers in one hand. If Lei Hongji was a peak grade genius, what would Mo Wuji be? "Did you think it was very easy for me to kill this bisexual man?" Mo Wuji asked as he walked over. Lou Si nodded subtly because she was really convinced that Mo Wuji killed Ji Qi easily as she didn''t witness any scenes of deadlock between the two of them throughout the fight. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "In a battle between cultivators, the simplicity and flexible use of the immortal energy would be the most important. However, after advancing past the Immortal King Stage, immortal energy would only be secondary." "What is the most important then?" Lou Si casually asked. "More importantly, it is how strong your spiritual will is and how great your sea of consciousness is. Even so, I don''t believe that these are the main factors to determine the winner. If the difference in grade between the two cultivators is not too huge, the main factor to determine the winner would be the dao," Mo Wuji explained calmly. "Dao?" Lou Si seemed to be at loss because in her eyes, the stronger the immortal energy, the stronger you would be and the stronger you are, the stronger your spiritual will and eventually your sacred art. Dao is the enlightenment of every cultivator towards the Laws of Heaven and Earth and every cultivator has a dao belonging to themselves. Such things should not affect a battle and to Lou Si, it would be the factor which have the least effect on the battle. Dao is the embodiment of one''s cultivation and the cognition in which one pursues. "Once you''ve reached a certain level of cultivation, fighting depends on the law of dao. That bisexual man relied on the cultivation resource of the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor to force himself into the Immortal Reverent Stage so his dao foundation is still unstable. In actual fact, I know of a few Immortal Kings who are much stronger than him too," Mo Wuji said this with the intention to offer some guidance to Lou Si. In a place like the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, one would indeed be able to increase one''s cultivation level rapidly but there were many obvious cases of malpractices too. He managed to sense a little bit of this malpractice from Ji Qi''s body which was why he realised that even though his dao was self created, he shouldn''t coop himself in a place like this just to cultivate. "Many thanks Big Brother Mo for your guidance," Lou Si seemed to understand how Mo Wuji was using his own experience to give her pointers. Mo Wuji nodded, "Guard for me as I prepare to undergo my tribulation." The truth was that a majority of people were well aware of the argument which Mo Wuji just put across. However, in the face of that many resources, immortals who could control their thirst to become stronger faster were only a minute few. Before Lou Si''s arrival, Mo Wuji would have finished this bisexual off and then advance into the Immortal Reverent Stage before going back into seclusion. Other than refining the six pages of the Book of Luo, he would want to continue cultivating and reach the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage before coming out of seclusion. However, Mo Wuji had changed his own intention as he decided that after he reached the Immortal Reverent Stage, he would focus on stabilizing his dao foundation as well as solidifying his own Grand Dao instead of cultivating wildly. This was also because one shouldn''t be too weak in a place like the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Otherwise, Mo Wuji would not even advance into the Immortal Reverent Stage here. ¡­ Piles of green crystals, immortal crystals, spiritual veins and even immortal essence crystals were brought out by Mo Wuji before he started setting up his energy gathering array. Lou Si watched upon Mo Wuji''s actions in shock because she was well aware of how long Mo Wuji had been in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Mo Wuji had only been here for a short period of time but he was taking out tens of thousands green crystals at one go. Even though there were a lot of cultivation resources in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, it wasn''t to the extent where there was green crystals everywhere. She was also an Immortal King and she came to the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor much earlier than Mo Wuji but in her case, she had to fight hard for every single green crystal which she obtained. And even after she obtained the green crystal, she would still need to fight against countless of opponents just to survive. Presently, Mo Wuji had already started charging towards the barrier of the Immortal Reverent Stage. The green crystal would not only allow one to cultivate at an insane speed, it would also allow one to touch the barrier of the next realm very quickly. If one possessed all sorts of peak grade pills required, it would indeed be very easy for one to advance into the next realm here in a place like the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. The only thing Lou Si didn''t understand was why Mo Wuji would still take out items like immortal veins and immortal crystals. She knew about the green crystal and how the cultivation effectiveness of the green crystal was much greater than all types of immortal crystals. As she saw that Mo Wuji had started charging towards the Immortal Reverent Stage, Lou Si was completely dumbfounded again. She had never seen a person absorb the energy of the green crystal as immensely as Mo Wuji. The elemental energy extracted from the green crystal were forming a massive whirlpool above Mo Wuji''s head. Wrong, upon closer look, Lou Si noticed that it wasn''t a massive whirlpool but hundreds of small whirlpools merging together to look like one massive whirlpool being absorbed by Mo Wuji. Lou Si took in a breath of cold air as she finally understood why Mo Wuji would draw out the immortal veins as well as the immortal crystals. With such an intense rate of absorbing immortal energy, no amount of green crystals would be enough for him to use. Endless Grand Dao energy of the Heaven and Earth started circulating around Mo Wuji''s body as the aura forming around Mo Wuji started growing exponentially. Lou Si was certain that as long as Mo Wuji had the Extreme Reverent Pill, advancing to the Immortal Reverent Stage wouldn''t be difficult at all. "Boom boom boom!" Explosive thunders could be heard as endless amount of thick lightning bolts started descending. Lou Si was so terrified at the sight of this she hurried to take a few steps back. The truth was that she had seen Immortal Reverent tribulations more than once before but none of them was even close to the state of Mo Wuji''s tribulation. She was certain that even Immortal Emperor''s tribulation would not be as terrifying and chaotic as Mo Wuji''s one. For the normal Immortal Reverent tribulation, every wave of lightning bolts would not exceed 18 but this single wave of Mo Wuji''s tribulation already had hundreds of lightning bolts. Besides, every single lightning bolt that descended were far too petrifying¡­ For such a lightning tribulation, even Immortal Emperor would find it hard to go through it, let alone an Immortal King. Just as Lou Si was still in awe at the frightening lightning bolts, endless amount of lightning bolts had already landed on Mo Wuji''s body. Lou Si was so scared that she couldn''t even open her eyes to witness this scene. She was also disappointed with herself because she was supposed to guard and protect Mo Wuji but she had no way to rescue Mo Wuji under such circumstances. Mo Wuji was also shocked because even though he knew how extraordinarily scary his lightning tribulations were before, he certainly didn''t expect it to be to this extent. For every other tribulation that he had been through, he was different from others because neither did he used any defensive treasures nor armours to fend against the lightnings. This time round, Mo Wuji actually felt vulnerable. Split second later, lightning bolts landed on his body and not only did he circulate his immortal mortal technique to the maximum rate, even his physique tempering technique was executed fully. "Pff!" Despite the insane extent at which Mo Wuji was absorbing and defending against the lightning bolts, blood started splashing out of his fleshly body and his bones started cracking when the boundless lightning bolts condensed to strike his body. Just as Lou Si opened her eyes and saw the devastating state of Mo Wuji, she shut her eyes again as she started praying in her heart. All she could do now would be to wait for Mo Wuji to fall and then bring his corpse out of this place. At the instance the lightning bolt descended on his own body, Mo Wuji could feel his immortal energy rising tremendously and the purple lake within his sea of consciousness started expanding at an extensive manner. Even his fleshly body which had plateaued at the same stage for a long time started tempering again¡­ Initially, Mo Wuji was tempted to take out his magic treasure but he stopped himself forcefully as he swallowed multiple healing pills instead. Concurrently, he continued to circulate his physique tempering technique as he charged towards the Immortal Reverent Realm. This was not only his opportunity to charge into the Immortal Reverent Realm but also his opportunity to charge towards the advanced God Physique Stage. Why would Mo Wuji let such an opportunity slip by? "Boom boom boom boom!" Just as Mo Wuji''s bones were started to heal, more thick and condensed lightning bolts fell. Lou Si opened her eyes and logically speaking, if Mo Wuji died under the first wave of lightning bolts, the second wave shouldn''t have descended right? Could it be that Mo Wuji had yet to die? "Kaka, Boom!" It was almost at the same time the lightning bolt landed on Mo Wuji''s body when he broke through the barrier of the Immortal Reverent as well as the God Physique Level 7. An extremely mighty Immortal Reverent energy started surging around Mo Wuji''s body and the bones broken by the second wave of lightning bolts were healing rapidly. Even before Mo Wuji could stabilise his cultivation, the third wave of lightning bolts started exploding downwards. Not only was the third wave of lightning bolts much more mightier than the first and second wave, it brought along a frightening energy with a trace of death. The dusky space appeared like it was split apart and receptacles of lightning bolts seemed to break apart as all the lightning source turned into descending lightning bolts. The defending Mo Wuji suddenly stood up straight and charged towards the foremost wave of lightning bolts as he threw out a punch. At this moment, his heart had this unassailable thirst to charge towards the source of the lightning bolts just to punch through it. "Kacha!" Lightning bolts exploded and despite the fact that it looked mightier than the first two waves of lightnings, Mo Wuji appeared to be unharm. This was not only due to Mo Wuji advancing into the Immortal Reverent Stage but also because of his God Physique Level 7. "Bang!" Mo Wuji landed with both feet on the ground as it created a deep pit. The desert wasteland had returned to its original appearance as it turned dusky again. Mo Wuji looked unpleasantly at the dusky space in front of him because he wanted more waves of lightning bolts for hm to stabilise his strength. He had just stepped into the Immortal Reverent Realm and God Physique Level 7 yet there were no more lightning bolts to authenticate it. It seemed like he would be the only Immortal Reverent who only had three waves of lightning tribulations. Lou Si was still in a daze as she stared blankly at the ragged Mo Wuji looking towards the sky above the desert wasteland. She simply couldn''t believe her eyes. This was the first time she witnessed an Immortal Reverent tribulation being more frightening that the Immortal Emperor tribulation and also her first time witnessing an Immortal Reverent tribulation with only three waves of lightning. Naturally, this was also her first time seeing someone complete such a heaven defying tribulation and still wanted more of it? Chapter 757: To Obtain Wealth, One Had To Take Risks Chapter 757: To Obtain Wealth, One Had To Take Risks Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Congratulations Big Brother Mo for advancing into the Immortal Reverent Stage," As Lou Si noticed that Mo Wuji had stopped staring at the sky, she hurried to contain the shock within her as she went forward to congratulate Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Given your talent, you wouldn''t take long to step into the Immortal Reverent Stage too. Now that I''ve killed that bisexual man, would you rather stay in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square or follow me to the Cosmos Communal Domain?" Lou Si sighed, "I''ve always wanted to leave the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor but I never had the chance to do so because of the lack of green crystals. For someone like me who had stayed in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor for more than 5 years, I need to give the Demon Clan 10,000 green crystals as a form of contribution if I wanted to leave this place. Additionally, there was also the 2000 transfer array fees. Even if I were to sell everything I have with me, it wouldn''t even add up to that many green crystals." Mo Wuji heard Lou Si''s words and the expression on his face instantly turned ugly. Previously, Lou Si mentioned about how the fees for shop owners to use the transfer array to leave the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor was 10 times more than ordinary people. Where was he going to find so many green crystals? Moreover, he didn''t have enough green crystals for Lou Si too. "I don''t have that many green crystals," Mo Wuji said helplessly. Ten times of 12,000 green crystals would be an amount over 100,000 green crystals. Lou Si replied promptly, "Big Brother Mo, I am the assistant for your shop so you just need to bring me along when you board the transfer array. There is no need to pay additional fees for me. Because you''re the shop owner in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, you only need to pay 25,000 green crystals to board the transfer array to the Cosmos Communal Domain. Naturally, we have to leave from the Human Race''s side because the Demon Race might demand the 10,000 contribution green crystals from me if we choose to leave from the Demon Race''s transfer array." 25,000? Mo Wuji immediately understood that because he wasn''t from the Human or Demon Race, there was no need for him to pay the contribution fees. However, he didn''t even have 200 green crystals on him, let alone 20,000. Mo Wuji entered the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor with only about 100,000 green crystals and he had already used up about 70,000 during his seclusion and another 30,000 for his tribulation. Loy Si saw Mo Wuji''s expression and he instantly knew that Mo Wuji couldn''t bring out 25,000 green crystals. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Big Brother Mo, if you have no intention to come back, you can sell the shophouse." "You''re not planning to come back?" Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at Lou Si because from Lou Si''s tone, he could tell that Lou Si wanted to leave this place for good. Lou Si nodded, "En, back then, I joined the demon army only because I wanted to help someone. It was only some time later when I realised that joining is easy while leaving is simply too difficult." "What do you mean?" Mo Wuji was slightly confused. Lou Si explained, "There are many races living within the Cosmos Communal Domain and while there was no need to participate in the war of the Cosmos Wall, one would still need to pay the necessary rent. Because both cultivation and rent required the use of large amount of green crystals, a friend of mine owed a lot of green crystals because he went under seclusion to cultivate. He was unable to return these green crystals so his only possible solution was to head to the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor to fight for resources from the Cosmos Wall. During the opening of the Cosmos Wall, he was in seclusion so I went to the Cosmos Wall on his behalf. I didn''t expect my trip to be several years long and presently, it is getting increasingly hard even for me to survive here, let alone thinking about leaving this place." Mo Wuji looked surprisingly at Lou Si as he didn''t expect that such a noble and honest immortal like Lou Si still exist in this world. This was equivalent to serving in the army for someone else so it seemed like Lou Si''s relationship with her friend must not be simple at all. "So how did the green crystals you obtained manage to reach him?" Mo Wuji continued to question. Lou Si sighed deeply, "I was introduced to this place by the merchant house in which my friend owed the green crystals to. This merchant house is very successful and even had branches in both the Human and Demon Corridors. I have been here for seven years and participated in four of the wars to snatch for resources. A portion of the rewards I obtained would belong to the Demon Race, a portion to repay the debts to the merchant house and then a portion will be brought to my friend by the merchant house. The remaining would be used for me to cultivate." Mo Wuji sighed too as he didn''t continue questioning any further. He was certain that Lou Si''s friend was up to no good because one couldn''t possibly cultivate under closed doors for such a long period of time continuously. If this friend was of decent character, he would have visited her here at the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor a long time ago. A friend, who made Lou Si fight for resources on his behalf for over 7 years, was evidently taking advantage of her. "Lou Si, I have no green crystals with me but I have an idea. Since we are going to leave the city square soon, we shall start a business here. I will concoct pills while you watch the shop for me. As long as I don''t continue the business for years, it shouldn''t have much influence in the city square," Mo Wuji replied. He would definitely not sell the shophouse in the city square because this was the best place to gather cultivation resources. Once he sold his shophouse, it wouldn''t be easy for him to get it back again. Even if he was not coming back anymore, it wouldn''t matter. "You''re a pill emperor?" Lou Si looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment as she asked in disbelief. If Mo Wuji wasn''t a pill emperor, how would he be able to casually take out Green Bodhi Pills for her? Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right, I am indeed a pill emperor. I believe that with my pill dao alchemy, it wouldn''t take long for me to earn a sum of green crystals in the city square." Lou Si took in a deep breath before looking at Mo Wuji again, "Big Brother Mo, if you trust me, you must not concoct and sell pills here. Otherwise, you will only invite endless troubles for yourself. Do you know why there are extremely little pill refiners as well as smith master?" "Why?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. Lou Si subconsciously lowered her voice as she said, "Because the better pill and smith masters were convinced and brought away. Those who were refused to leave would disappear without a trace after some time." "They were all killed?" Mo Wuji''s heart almost jumped out of his mouth because could this place have something against pill and smith masters? "No, only a minority of pill and smith masters were killed here while majority of them were captured and forced to leave with experts of each race to be concoct pills or refine equipments for them. And these pill and smith masters would basically be on the city square of the Cosmos Communal Domain. Following which, the pills and equipments which they concoct and forged out would be given to the higher ups of the Human or Demon Race depending on who they were brought away to work for," Lou Si explained in details. Even without further explanation from Lou Si, Mo Wuji understood what was going on. Throughout the years, countless of pills and weapons were necessary for the numerous wars that had been fought. To increase their strength, these higher ups of each race needed many more weapons and pills in order to collect more resources in each war. There were not many pills and smith masters to begin with and with so many people in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor in addition to the people in the Cosmos Communal Domain, it would be almost impossible for everyone to be equipped with weapons and pills. Besides these reasons, it was possible that the Heaven''s Beyond City Square was another powerhouse by itself. This powerhouse should have its own merchant house which sells pills and magic treasures. If there were random pill and smith masters walking around the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, there would be much more competition for them. "Lou Si, is there a merchant house with a wide variety of pills which is opened by the Heaven''s Beyond City Square itself?" Mo Wuji spurted out his question at the thought of it. "It seems like even you know about it. Yes, there is indeed a merchant house that sells a wide variety of pills and magic treasures but the prices were simply too intimidating. I''ve heard that it was opened by an extremely reputable person and I am certain that it was not opened by the city square itself," Lou Si replied. Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, "To obtain wealth, one had to take risks. If I am constantly worried about being restrained, I will eventually be restrained. I am going to open up my pill court at the Heaven''s Beyond City Square now but you can decide for yourself. Leave with me if you''re interested but if you''re worried, you should wait for me at the Demon Corridor." Mo Wuji had no alternative because the Cosmos Wall only opened up once every few years and it was already considered fortunate for him to have seen the Cosmos Wall once in his two years here. There was simply way too many treasures in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square and the moment he leaves this place, he would be dreaming if he wished to find another place with these much resources and green crystals again. He was certain that things wouldn''t be this good even in the Cosmos Communal Domain. Once he decided to settle down and cultivate, how long would he take if he had no green crystals and only immortal crystals for his cultivation? "Big Brother Mo, I am following you," Lou Si seemed to have no hesitation when answering Mo Wuji. During her years in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, she had countless of near death incidents. If she wasn''t hardworking enough to fight for everything, she would have still be stuck at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. ¡­ The Heaven''s Beyond City Square was as crowded as before and only a few people noticed that the shophouse, which was closed for about two to three years, had finally reopened. This magic treasure shophouse was turned into Mortal Pill House and it actually sold Immortal Pills ranging from Tier 4 to Tier 6. The most impressive feature about this pill house was that it would even concoct pills for customers. Even though the fee was about six times the price of the already concocted pills, it was still considered dirt cheap as compared to the other shops around. What was the most abundant in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor? There were all sorts of high tier immortal herbs, green crystals and countless of valuable materials. On the other hand, what was lacking the most would be immortal pills, magic treasures and even more so, pill masters willing to help customers concoct pills of their own request. Chapter 758: The Blooming Pill House Chapter 758: The Blooming Pill House Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "A shop called Mortal Pill House recently emerged in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square and it sells pills of high and unique grade. Additionally, there were also countless of healing pills on sale." "Haha, I bet it is another Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion where they really did sell loads of good items but the pity is that you can''t afford it." "Yes, I''ve went to the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion previously to purchase a Clean Solitary Pill. A mere Tier 4 healing pill actually exchanged for my Grade 9 Southern Fire Rod and 5 of my green crystals. Back where I came from, I was able to exchange over ten vases of Tier 9 healing pills with the same items." "No, the Mortal Pill House is truly selling great items at a reasonable price. I purchased a vase of Alioth Gold Pill for only 10 green crystals¡­" "This is definitely impossible! The Gold Alioth Pill is a Tier 5 healing pill and one pill itself was worth more than 10 green crystals and a few immortal herbs in total. You''re lying to us!" "Wang Lu wasn''t lying because I''ve visited the Mortal Pill House too where I''ve even bought a unique grade Green Bodhi Pill. The most affordable item there wasn''t the already made pills but their service of concocting pills of your request. The pity was that I''ve ran out of immortal herbs to exchange because otherwise, I could even request for them to concoct Tier 7 Immortal Pills for me. Moreover, I wouldn''t need to pay a single green crystal because they are only collecting six times the price to concoct the pills." ¡­ Similar discussions were heard all over the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Because of these discussions, countless of immortals surged towards the Heaven''s Beyond City Square regardless of their race. They came to the city square with only one purpose; and that was to visit the Mortal Pill House. Regardless of the validity of the rumours, paying a visit would not go wrong. If it was true, they could purchase several healing pills and even request for someone to concoct pills for them which was equivalent to having one extra life. ¡­ Back at the Mortal Pill House, Lou Si was in shock at the sight of so many people surfing in. The rate at which the rumours spread was simply too exaggerated because their signboard had only been up for three days and so many people had already heard of it. One must know that Lou Si and Mo Wuji didn''t even come up with any publicity measures. Despite her efforts to get people to start queuing up, the queue was still broken up into a mess slightly further down the city square. To make things worse, people in the queue were pushing against each other in an attempt to be further in front in the queue. Lou Si had never experienced such situation before and was therefore, in a loss in front of a crowd of desperate customers like this. Fortunately, Mo Wuji came out as he stood in front of the shop and clasped his fist towards the queue before saying, "The Mortal Pill House was opened in the hope of doing everyone in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor a favour which was why we offered such affordable prices for good quality products. However, if everyone continues to push and squeeze in such chaotic manner, it might cause trouble for the city square. Once the city square intervenes, my Mortal Pill House could only close down and leave." "Whoever dares to let the Mortal Pill House close down, I will be the first to object." "I will kill whoever dares to close down the Mortal Pill House!" ¡­ All sorts of clamours sounded out made Mo Wuji pleased because he wanted such an effect. Even so, he revealed a serious and solemn expression before saying, "I have an idea. How about every person who wants to trade with my Mortal Pill House takes a queue number?" "Where do we take the queue number from?" Some anxious cultivators couldn''t wait for Mo Wuji to finish his words as they asked. Mo Wuji used his hand to indicate for the crowd to lower down their volume, "Everyone please listen to me. I will install an array outside my shophouse for each and everyone of you to collect a number. Everyone would basically need to send 10 green crystals into the array and you will be given a number. The array would call out for your number accordingly and you shall head to my shophouse to trade. Everyone should not worry because the 10 green crystals would only be temporarily placed with me and when it is your turn, the ten green crystals could be considered as part of your trade." This method of Mo Wuji was naturally the most basic queue system back on Earth. Otherwise, with this many people queuing at the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, it would call for the intervention of the Heaven''s Beyond City Square management even if they didn''t cause any trouble here. Moreover, with so many cultivators of different races here, there would bound to be troubles. Naturally, Mo Wuji had a deeper intention by coming up with this system. Indeed, voices of agreement were heard once Mo Wuji''s words were out. Nobody came here with the intention to cause trouble because everyone came in hope of being able to trade for pills that they wanted. Mo Wuji was a Grade 7 immortal array master so he only took an incense worth of time to set up the array used for the queue system. As long as one threw 10 green crystals into the array, one would receive a thin jade token. Those who received the jade token would be required to leave the venue and not allowed to continue queuing. Once the shop called out for an individual''s number, the individual would be able to enter the Mortal Pill House to trade. Once the system was put in place, the queue definitely shorten as even though everyone was nearby wandering about, the queue was no longer as extravagant as before. Just like Mo Wuji''s description, the Mortal Pill House would sound out a number and the immortal with the number would be allowed to enter the shophouse. ¡­ "Big Brother Mo, your idea is indeed great. Otherwise, the Heaven''s Beyond City Square would have used this as an excuse to close our shop," Lou Si said with admiration when she saw the instant orderliness outside the shophouse. This was something she wouldn''t be able to think of in such short period of time. Or rather, even if she thought of this idea, she wouldn''t be able to implement the array so quickly. Her concern was not unfounded because once the queue became too long, the likelihood of fights within the queue was high. "You are now in charge of helping me collect immortal crystals, immortal materials and handing them the pills,"Mo Wuji chuckled as he knew that his plan had worked. "Big Brother Mo, why did you insist that they hand over 10 green crystals first? If they couldn''t make it to trade in the end, sending these green crystals back would take up quite a bit of time," This was something Lou Si didn''t understand. If handing over the green crystals would mean that it belonged to the Mortal Pill House, it would still make sense. However, these green crystals were only advanced payment and if the cultivators didn''t trade for anything, it wouldn''t belong to the Mortal Pill House. Mo Wuji smiled and said, "By making these people hand over 10 green crystals first, it would be equivalent to them standing on our side. If the city square wishes to act against us, they would have to reconsider their option." Indeed, Mo Wuji''s actual motive was to use the advance payment of 10 green crystals as a mean of garnering the strength of these immortals who came to trade. Now that he had collected a large amount of green crystals, if the city square came to find trouble, the first few people to object would not be him or Lou Si but these immortals who had handed their green crystals over for a queue number. The reason why Mo Wuji didn''t claim all these green crystals for himself was because he was well aware that even though immortals here collect a lot of resources from the Cosmos Wall, their life ain''t easy too. For every green crystal, they would have to fight and risk their life for it. Just like how the opening of the Cosmos Wall was an opportunity to obtain valuable cultivation resources, it was also a time for most of them to lose their life. He needed green crystals for cultivation meant that it was the same for others too. He can earn a large amount of green crystals but he wouldn''t do it unscrupulously. Lou Si was not dumb so with Mo Wuji''s brief explanation, she understood his intention. At this moment, she heaved a sigh of relief too because with such a crazy business, it would be impossible for them not to attract any unwanted attention. ¡­ With the queue number system, Mortal Pill House''s business grew rapidly as numerous green crystals and immortal herbs were sent into Mo Wuji''s pocket. On the other hand, pills were sent out from the Mortal Pill House into the hands of each and every visiting immortal. Every immortal who visited the Mortal Pill House took out ten green crystals to collect a number before waiting patiently for their number to be called. Logically speaking, with one trading immortal, the number of people waiting in the city square should decrease. However, the truth was the exact opposite as the greater the number of trades completed, the more customers came forward to collect a queue number. Very soon, ticket scalpers appeared in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square. These ticket scalpers queued for over ten numbers before reselling these numbers at a higher price to those who came later. Mo Wuji was unaware of such practice but even if he knew, he wouldn''t be bothered. He was fully focused on concocting pills and at this moment, he even accepted requests of concocting Tier 8 and even Tier 9 pills. As Lou Si watched upon the countless of immortal pills being sent out, she was already numb to it. Even though she was considered experienced and had met plenty of people before, it was truly her first time meeting a pill emperor like Mo Wuji. Where else could she find a pill emperor who concoct pills at such incredible speed? Other some Tier 9 immortal pills which Mo Wuji placed on hold, even Tier 8 immortal pills were concocted in an extreme rate by Mo Wuji. ¡­ Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. If there was still a rather decent place which sells pills and magic treasures here in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square, it had to be the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. They sold Tier 1 to Tier 9 immortal pills as well as Grade 1 to Grade 9 immortal equipments. Because of their wide range of products, their business should be blooming but they were only popular for a short period of time after the opening of the Cosmos Wall. As time passed, their business stagnated. It wasn''t because of the incomplete equipments or ineffective pills but because the prices here were simply too exuberant. It was so high such that immortals, who came back from the Cosmos Wall, could only afford to visit this shop once or twice. Everytime they came, they had to control their urge to shop more. Such situations meant little to the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion because everytime the Cosmos Wall opened, they would have earned a large sum from the more reputable personnel. However, the abrupt emergence of an extremely popular pill house in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square made them unable to tolerate any further. They came to the Heaven''s Beyond City Square not because they wanted to have competition with anyone but because they wanted to monopolise the entire industry; they wanted to be the exclusive sellers of pills and equipment. The Mortal Pill House had only been opened for four days and the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion convened a meeting which had never been convened for over countless of years. There were only a total of four people participating in this meeting. They were the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s shop owner, Min Cheng, who was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s guard, Kuang Jin, who was also in the same stage. Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s External Affairs Deacon, Wen Li, who was in the intermediate Immortal Reverent Stage and the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Internal Affairs Deacon, Ran Yushui, who was an advanced Immortal King and the only female. "Where did this Mortal Pill House come from?" This was Min Cheng''s first question when he entered as he said with a calm voice filled with intense killing intent. Chapter 759: At Your Door Chapter 759: At Your Door Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This person''s name is Mo Wuji. Two years ago, he suddenly appeared in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Because he killed from both the demon and human race, he was unable to find a place to stay. As a result, he went around Heaven''s Beyond City Square, asking whether there were any shops for sale. Ostensibly, this person wasn''t very clear about the Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s rules. Strangely, his pill house was actually purchased from an original shop owner called Mao Hu. After Mao Hu sold his shop to Mo Wuji, the Cosmos Wall opened. Mo Wuji also went to the Cosmos Wall and he survived. He probably obtained many benefits from the Cosmos Wall because he entered secluded cultivation the moment he returned. He only opened his shop when he emerged from his seclusion." The person answering was Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s External Affairs Deacon, Wen Li. Even though Wen Li didn''t manage to obtain the news of Mo Wuji''s advancement into the Immortal Reverent Stage, she basically had gathered all the information about Mo Wuji within his two years in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. "That means to say that this person isn''t of some great origins?" Min Cheng''s killing intent suddenly weakened. That other woman from Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion stood up and bowed respectfully to Min Cheng, then she said, "Pavilion Head, I''m afraid this person wouldn''t concoct pills for us." She completely understood the meaning behind Min Cheng''s words: he wanted to bring Mo Wuji in to concoct pills for their Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Min Cheng snorted coldly, "This is not up to him to decide. A mere rogue cultivator dares to take advantage of my Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. He''s still too young for that." Even though this woman that just spoke was merely in the Immortal King Stage, she was actually the brains behind Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Her name was Ran Yushui. When she heard Pavilion HeadMin Cheng''s words, she sighed inwardly and continued speaking, "Pavilion Head, a few days ago, the woman by his side, Lou Si, had been harassed by the bisexual Immortal Reverent. After which, Mo Wuji brought that Lou Si out of Heaven''s Beyond City Square. When he returned, there was no longer any news of the bisexual Immortal Reverent." "He killed the bisexual Immortal Reverent?" Wen Li didn''t manage to investigate this matter. When she heard Ran Yushui mention it, she immediately uttered in shock. Ran Yushui nodded, "Even though I didn''t see it personally, I know what kind of person the bisexual Immortal Reverent is. He definitely wouldn''t simply let go of his target. Since he didn''t return, that means that this Mo Wuji must definitely have killed the bisexual Immortal Reverent. I have also investigated on that woman, Lou Si. She only has a cultivation of the Immortal King Stage, so she definitely wouldn''t be of any help. Clearly, Mo Wuji had single-handedly killed the bisexual Immortal Reverent." Min Cheng frowned and looked at Wen Li discontentedly. She was in charge of this investigation but she actually knew less than Ran Yushui. After some time, he turned to Ran Yushui and said, "Yushui, you will go and talk to him. Kuang Jin will follow you." At this moment, Kuang Jin, who had been silent this entire time stood up. His cultivation was at the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage; he was considered the most powerful among the four here. Ran Yushui hesitated briefly before she responded, "Pavilion Head, I think we should report to the higher-ups¡­" Min Cheng waved his hand, interrupting Ran Yushui''s words, "Even if that Mo Wuji was able to kill the bisexual Immortal Reverent, it would mean that he''s only at the late Immortal Reverent Stage. Moreover, that bisexual Immortal Reverent''s primordial spirit had been badly damaged; so even an ordinary intermediate stage Immortal Reverent would be able to deal with him. You and Kuang Jin will go and interact with him. If he still doesn''t know his place, then have Kuang Jin teach him a lesson. If an outsider that doesn''t have a backer requires me to get the intervention of an Emperor-level expert, then I, Min Cheng, would have lost all my face." "Yes." Ran Yushui didn''t dare to say anything else. She knew that others might not dare to use any form of violence in the Heaven''s Corridor City Square, but it was merely a simple act for her Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. ¡­ Mo Wuji was aching in elation. Before he started concocting pills, he had already prepared himself to earn some stacks of cash. However, reality had shocked him pleasantly; he was actually earning more than when the Cosmos Wall opened. Even though there were plenty of good stuff in the Cosmos Wall and he was even able to charge to a very high point, he was unfortunately restricted in his interaction range. It probably wasn''t even a hundredth of the entire Cosmos Wall. The Cosmos Wall was so huge and his range was so limited, it was natural that he would have missed out on many treasures. On the other hand, his Mortal Pill House had only been opened for a few days and he had already earned more than a hundred thousand green crystals. The number of immortal herbs he got was even more than he could count. All this was because he could concoct pills. What left Mo Wuji especially excited was that he obtained two True Emperor Seeking Heart Flowers. The True Emperor Seeking Heart Flower was an extremely rare Tier 9 immortal herb, and it was only second to the Emperor Dao Fruit. This flower could not be consumed directly like the Emperor Dao Fruit; it had to be concocted into the Emperor True Pill. The Emperor True Pill was a Tier 9 immortal pill and it was incomparably enticing to Great Circle Immortal Reverents. This was because this pill was able to allow one to resonate with the Emperor Stage, increasing one''s success rate in breaking through the Immortal Reverent Stage and becoming an Immortal Emperor. Mo Wuji had already obtained the secondary ingredients for the Emperor True Pill. Coupled with his assiduous practice with various Tier 7 and Tier 8 pills, he was confident that he could concoct a Tier 9 immortal pill. The moment he successfully concocts a Tier 9 immortal pill, he would use these two True Emperor Seeking Heart Flowers to concoct the True Emperor Pills. The reason why Tier 9 Pill Emperors were so rare was because concocting Tier 9 immortal pills required the pill refiner to fuse his dao insights into the pill. Typical Pill Emperors have an insufficient understanding towards the Grand Dao of the Heaven and Earth. Thus, many would never be able to step into the Tier 9 Pill Emperor Stage in their entire lives. Even if they managed to scrape their way into the Tier 9 Pill Emperor Stage, they wouldn''t be able to concoct a pill like the True Emperor Pill. Mo Wuji''s Dao, on the other hand, was his self-forged Grand Mortal Dao. Ever since he stepped into the Immortal Reverent Stage, his understanding and insights towards the dao aura of the Heaven and Earth had only become clearer. He believed that as long as his Pill Dao was able to reach the required standard, he would be able to concoct the True Emperor Pill. According to the trajectory of his finances, Mo Wuji believed that he could really sell his shop in three months, just as Lou Si had said. By that time, he would have enough cultivation resources for himself, and he would no longer need to continue opening shop. "Number 7716, please enter the shop." The array at the entrance of the Mortal Pill House cried out the next number. An extremely old man excitedly walked over. "You, wait." A cold voice stopped this old man. Thereafter, a man and a woman stepped in front of this man. "I am Number 7716. I have been waiting all this time, who are the two of you to ask me to wait¡­" This old man only managed to say half a sentence before he suddenly stopped with his mouth left ajar. His face was filled with fear as he stared at this man and woman in front of him; he recognised the two of them. The woman was Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Ran Yushui and the man was Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Defender Kuang Jin. There was no need to talk about how he wouldn''t be able to fight with the late stage Immortal King, Ran Yushui. That Kuang Jin was a Great Circle Immortal Reverent, an existence that was infinitesimally close to being a Quasi-Emperor. How could he dare to utter any nonsense? "Greetings Deacon Ran and Defender Kuang¡­" This aged man bowed hurriedly. Previously, he had been anxiously waiting for his number. However, when his number finally came, these two evil people actually appeared in front of him. Ran Yushui and Kuang Jin could no longer be bothered about this old man as they directly walked into the pill house. "Please hand over your number plate." Lou Si has already seen this scene and she hurriedly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji. At the same time, she could only use such a method to stop the two of them. She also recognised these two people; the moment the two of them arrived, she started to feel trepidations in her heart. She guessed that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion had come to wreck their business. "I am Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Ran Yushui. This is our Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Defender Kuang Jin. We have urgent business with Pill House Master Mo." Ran Yushui went straight to the point. Lou Si''s heart was filled with anxiety. However, at this moment, she actually heard Mo Wuji''s words, "Let Defender Kuang Jin come up. Everyone else can wait." Ran Yushui''s face turned cold. This was clearly dealing a blow to her initial display of strength. However, she had done her investigation on Mo Wuji and she knew that Mo Wuji wasn''t a simple person. Otherwise, she also wouldn''t have requested for Min Cheng to report this matter to the higher-ups. "Defender Kuang, go and invite Pill House Master Mo over to our Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. I will wait for you down here." That anger only fleeted across Ran Yushui''s mind for a brief moment before it was completed smothered. "Ok." Kuang Jin was a man of few words. Moreover, he was also very clear of his status; he was merely a hired thug for Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Ran Yushui''s previous words were for him to forcefully drag this Pill House Master away. He did not know how to invite or negotiate, nor was there a need for him to negotiate in the first place. Kuang Jin was half a feet outside Mo Wuji''s room. Before he could even say anything, Mo Wuji had already opened the door. A strong pill fragrance pervaded out of the room. Even though Kuang Jin wasn''t an expert, he also knew that this smell could only be from the highest quality of pills. "Come in." Mo Wuji''s voice called out from within the room. Kuang Jin subconsciously walked in. At the very next instant, the door closed by itself. Kuang Jin, who originally intended to directly use force, immediately felt some fear and apprehension. He clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Why does Pill Master Mo want to meet me first?" "Because you are a Great Circle Immortal Reverent." Mo Wuji put down the herbs in his hands, turned to Kuang Jin and said. Chapter 760: Tier 9 Pill Emperor Chapter 760: Tier 9 Pill Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Because Mo Wuji held the initiative, Kuang Jin wasn''t sure whether he should have used words or force. Now, he was stunned by Mo Wuji''s seemingly strange words. "What''s the meaning of that?" Kuang Jin stared at Mo Wuji in slight shock, momentarily forgetting his intentions of using force. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Immortal Friend Kuang, you should have been sent here to drag me off to Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, right?" "..." Kuang Jin could only stare at Mo Wuji, thinking: Why would Mo Wuji be so indifferent even though he knew this? Others might not dare to use violence within Heaven''s Beyond City Square, but these rules did not pertain to their Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Mo Wuji knew that Kuang Jin wouldn''t reply. He remained unflustered as he said, "A few days ago, the demon race''s bisexual Immortal Reverent came to find me¡­" "I know, you killed the bisexual Immortal Reverent Ji Qi." Kuang Jin knew that he could not allow Mo Wuji to control the pace of the conversation. Thus, be suddenly interjected Mo Wuji''s words. "If that bisexual Immortal Reverent met me, I wouldn''t even have needed half an incense''s time to kill him." Mo Wuji laughed faintly, then he said calmly, "Back then, I only used one move to kill him." Kuang Jin''s face sunk. Even if Mo Wuji was a Great Circle Immortal Reverent, he wouldn''t be able to kill the bisexual Immortal Reverent in a single move. Kuang Jin knew of Ji Qi; even though this fella was obsessed with his various fetishes, he was still an Immortal Reverent. Moreover, Kuang Jin even heard that Ji Qi had a unique world of his own which he could use to trap and kill people. Mo Wuji continued calmly, "It''s true. I took a few steps, then I killed him in a single move. Kuang Jin snorted coldly and his killing intent burst into the air. Clearly, he didn''t believe that Mo Wuji was really able to defeat Immortal Reverent Ji Qi in a single move. Back then, Mo Wuji naturally didn''t kill the bisexual Immortal Reverent in a single move. However, he took less than ten breaths to eliminate Ji Qi. Still, Mo Wuji wasn''t exaggerating when he said these words; he might even be understating his own power. Back when he killed Ji Qi, Mo Wuji was still in the Immortal King Stage. Now that he was already an Immortal Reverent, one move would really be more than enough to get rid of Ji Qi. "I''m lacking an Immortal Emperor helper. That''s why I called you over, it''s to give you an opportunity. Of course, if you don''t want this opportunity, feel free to lay your hands on me. I believe that you would be able to see Ji Qi very soon¡­ That''s not right, you shouldn''t be able to see Ji Qi. After all, his soul was already completely destroyed." Mo Wuji''s tone was calm, revealing his immense self-confidence. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t extend his domain, Kuang Jin could still feel a formless pressure. In that instant, he started to suspect that Mo Wuji''s words were true. "I''m not an Immortal Emperor." Kuang Jin took in a deep breath and retracted his killing intent. Even though his domain was still secretly enveloping the space around them, there was still some fear and apprehension in his heart. At the same time, he found some admiration towards Mo Wuji''s guts; he had come here to capture Mo Wuji, but this Mo Wuji actually used this opportunity to recruit him. No one else would dare to do such a thing. Mo Wuji continued proudly, "I know that you''re not an Immortal Emperor. But as long as you follow me, you would become an Immortal Emperor." "You''re a Tier 9 Pill Emperor? You can concoct the True Emperor Pill?" Kuang Jin broke off character. In Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, the True Emperor Seeking Heart Flower was the only immortal herb that could allow an Immortal Reverent to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. Moreover, the True Emperor Seeking Heart Flower had to first be concocted into a True Emperor Pill. More effective pills such as the Tier 9 Immortal Dao Pill couldn''t be obtained here. Even though there were plenty of treasures in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, there weren''t any Emperor Dao Fruits. "That''s right. I''m a Tier 9 Pill Emperor." Mo Wuji maintained his prideful appearance. By now, he was clear of the character of immortals. If he answered hesitantly, it would give off the impression that he was lying. "You know that I''m a Great Circle Immortal Reverent. That''s why you want me to help you in exchange for allowing me to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage?" Kuang Jin finally understood why Mo Wuji talked about his cultivation. Mo Wuji said calmly, "You are completely right. If you weren''t a Great Circle Immortal Reverent, I wouldn''t have wasted my time on you. Do you think that you would be able to capture me just because you are a Great Circle Immortal Reverent? There''s no need to talk about you; even if all the Immortal Reverents of your Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion came over, I would still be able to escape unscathed. Those years ago, four Immortal Emperors tried to catch me, three of them were even Grand Emperors. However, I was still able to escape. There''s no need to talk about you lot of Immortal Reverents." "I don''t know how to do business. There''s nothing that I can help you with." Kuang Jin''s tone had eased significantly. His heart, however, was still pounding furiously. Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor¡­ Why did he join Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion? Wasn''t it because he wanted to realise his Dao and become an Immortal Emperor? However, he had already been Mifei''s hired thug for hundreds of years. He had earned his fair share of green crystals but he had never even gotten a glimpse of a True Emperor Pill, much less realise his Dao. The moment Mo Wuji heard Kuang Jin''s words, he knew that he had a chance. Previously, he managed to obtain some news from Lou Si; he learnt that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion didn''t originate from Heaven''s Beyond City Square. The Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion here only had a few Immortal Reverents. The strongest among them was Kuang Jin. Kuang Jin was a man of few words, and the main reason why he joined Mifei was to seek the Dao as an Immortal Emperor. Mo Wuji was sure that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion wouldn''t be able to provide Kuang Jin with the pills to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage. This was why he called Kuang Jin over and tried to recruit him. And the reason for this was because Mo Wuji knew that those people asking for his services would only help promote his business. But if an Immortal Emperor expert were to come, only Lou Si and him actually stay behind. Thus, he needed to find an expert. Not only would this expert help him deal with the Immortal Emperors from Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, the expert would also help him stabilise his Grade 7 immortal killing array. With his current attainments in the Array Dao, coupled with a Kuang Jin to help him, it might be possible for him to trap and kill a late stage Immortal Emperor. If this recruitment wasn''t successful, then he would have to consider leaving Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. It wasn''t that he was afraid of Kuang Jin; he was only afraid that some Immortal Emperors would come knocking on his door. "I only hope that when I''m refining my pills, those little fish and shrimps wouldn''t come and disturb me. After you become an Immortal Emperor, you can stay and become my defender," Mo Wuji replied. Kuang Jin was no longer able to remain calm. If Mo Wuji was really able to give him a True Emperor Pill, why would he continue working at Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion? "You really a Tier 9 Pill Emperor? And you can really concoct a True Emperor Pill for me?" Kuang Jin could not help but ask once more. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t bother replying. He only picked up the immortal herb which he had placed down previously. This act of Mo Wuji''s only left Kuang Jin more certain that Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. It was already degrading for a Tier 9 Pill Emperor to try and recruit him. Thus, it was only natural that his repeated questioning would have left Mo Wuji discontented. "Pill Emperor Mo, I''m merely a defender at Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion; I wasn''t even a sales attendant. I''m willing to join Mortal Pill House and work for you." In that short time, Kuang Jin had already made his decision. Kuang Jin paused momentarily, then he continued, "But if I don''t return, an Immortal Emperor would soon come." The reason why he joined Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion was the True Emperor Pill. However, the facts have shown that he wasn''t a person that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion intended to nurture; he was merely a hired thug for them. Thus, as long as he wasn''t a fool, he would know how to respond to Mo Wuji''s recruitment. Mo Wuji still didn''t say a word as he continued examining his immortal herbs. Kuang Jin was slightly at a loss as to how to react. Fortunately, he had his share of experiences through the years and he soon understood Mo Wuji''s intentions; Pill Emperor Mo wanted him to swear an oath. At this point, Kuang Jin started to hesitate. When he joined Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, he was promised the rights to leave whenever he wanted. As an Immortal Reverent expert that was about to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage, he really didn''t wish to casually swear an oath. Moreover, if an Immortal Emperor from Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion comes, he, Kuang Jin, really wouldn''t be strong enough to deal with it. Mo Wuji suddenly said, "I don''t need you to swear an oath; you only need to promise to follow me for 100 years. After the 100 years, you are free to do as you like. You can continue to follow me and join my sect, or you can leave. As for the Immortal Emperors of Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, I have my own methods to deal with them." It''s so simple? Kuang Jin was in disbelief; 100 years was merely the time for a single secluded cultivation session for an average Immortal Reverent. Even if the terms were any worse, it still wouldn''t be that bad. On the other hand, he actually didn''t have any doubts as to whether Mo Wuji could really deal with the Immortal Emperors. Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, he would be able to go anywhere he wants. Kuang Jin believed that as long as Mo Wuji wasn''t a fool, Mo Wuji wouldn''t simply wait for the Immortal Emperors to come knocking on his door. Since the opportunity was dangling right in front of his face, why would Kuang Jin let it go? "I, Kuang Jin, promise that as long as Pill Master Mo is able to give me a True Emperor Pill, I will follow by Pill Master Mo''s side for 100 years. As long as it doesn''t harm my life or my Dao, I will listen to Pill Master Mo''s instructions. If I go against this promise, I will be struck to death by lightning." "Good. Immortal Friend Kuang, you have just made the correct choice. I will not give you one True Emperor Pill; I will give you as many True Emperor Pils as you need to become an Immortal Emperor. Now, go down and tell that woman that you are now a man of my Mortal Pill House. As for the True Emperor Pills, I will hand them to you one month later," Mo Wuji chuckled and said. The reason why he needed a month was because Mo Wuji still wasn''t a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. However, this wouldn''t be an influence on his plans. With his Grand Mortal Dao and his pill legacy, coupled with his large amounts of herbs, he would be a noob if he wasn''t able to advance and become a Tier 9 Pill Emperor in a month. His Grand Mortal Dao was about imbuing spirituality and immortality into all mortal objects. It was just like how he was able to cultivate to the Immortal Reverent Stage despite being a mortal. If his Mortal Dao was able to successfully merge with his Pill Dao, he could theoretically use any roadside grass to concoct a peak grade immortal pill. "Yes." Kuang Jin forcefully suppressed the mad glee in his heart as he bowed and left the room. Being able to obtain a True Emperor Pill in one month was simply a dream come true. ¡­ "Defender Kuang, you didn''t bring him?" Seeing Kuang Jin appear by himself, Ran Yushui asked in doubt. Kuang Jin''s tone was calm as he said to Ran Yushui, "Deacon Ran, I have decided to stay at Mortal Pill House. Go back and tell Pavilion Head Min that I''m grateful for the help that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion has provided me all these years." "What?" Ran Yushui stared at Kuang Jin in disbelief. She had never expected that their coercion operation would result in the betrayal of Kuang Jin. Chapter 761: The Difficulty Of Becoming A Tier 9 Pill Emperor Chapter 761: The Difficulty Of Becoming A Tier 9 Pill Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations It only took a few breaths for Ran Yushui to understand Kuang Jin''s decision. If it was her, she would have done the same. The only reason why Kuang Jin joined Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion was to realise his Dao and step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. When he first joined, he was already a Great Circle Immortal Reverent. Hundreds of years had passed and he was still a Great Circle Immortal Reverent. During those years, Kuang Jin had definitely obtained many cultivation resources. However, she knew that a majority of those resources were obtained by Kuang Jin, himself, in the Cosmos Wall. As for the True Emperor Pill that Kuang Jin desperately wanted, Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion had never even talked about it. "I understand. Big Brother Kuang, take care of yourself. Farewell." Ran Yushui was able to quickly sort her emotions; she had even changed the way she addressed Kuang Jin. Kuang Jin watched as Ran Yushui left the pill house. Thereafter, he turned to Lou Si and said, "Do you know what she meant when she said ''take care of yourself''?" Lou Si subconsciously shook her head; she was still shocked that Kuang Jin had suddenly become a member of Mortal Pill House. Kuang Jin''s tone was solemn as he said, "Now that I''ve joined Mortal Pill House, Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion should be sending their Emperor level experts over soon." Even though Mo Wuji said that he had his ways to deal with Mifei''s Immortal Emperors, Kuang Jin was still worried. It was exactly as Mo Wuji had thought previously: riches and risks came hand in hand. Since Kuang Jin wanted to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage, he must be willing to risk his life for it. If he couldn''t even handle the risk, Mo Wuji wouldn''t even give him the True Emperor Pill. "Ah¡­" Fear instantly emerged on Lou Si''s face. Even the shock she felt from Kuang Jin''s defection had cast aside. At this instant, she desperately wanted to advise Mo Wuji to escape. However, she knew that Mo Wuji wouldn''t listen to her. She was the one managing the finances and profits of Mortal Pill House; so how could she not know the difficulty of leaving? If Mo Wuji left now, then he definitely wouldn''t be able to bring away all of his peak grade immortal herbs and treasures. ¡­ "What?" Min Cheng suddenly stood up and stared at Ran Yushui in shock. Kuang Jin was his Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s strongest expert in Heaven''s Beyond City Square; he had suddenly defected over to Mo Wuji''s Mortal Pill House. Ran Yushui clasped her fists and said, "Pavilion Head, I suspect that Mo Wuji is also a peak grade Immortal Reverent. Our current capabilities wouldn''t be able to contest with his. I go back to my suggestion of reporting to the higher ups and request for Emperor level experts to help us." Min Cheng calmed down and said to Ran Yushui, "Deacon Yu, it was my fault previously. I didn''t listen to your advice. I will immediately report this matter to the higher-ups¡­" Min Cheng had an ugly scowl on his face; Ran Yushui and Wen Li both knew the reason for that. Truthfully, Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion was merely a source of cultivation resources for those Emperor level experts. Those Emperor level experts practically spent all their time in secluded cultivation or touring the vast cosmos. If they were to request for help, it would take at least a month for an Emperor level expert to come. If Mo Wuji escapes within this time, then he, Min Cheng, would have to suffer the brunt of the responsibilities. "The reason why Kuang Jin joined Mortal Pill House should be due to his loss in faith in Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Deacon Yushui, do you think that Pill Master Mo had promised to give Kuang Jin a True Emperor Pill?" Min Cheng calmed down and started to contemplate the reasons why Kuang Jin would defect. Ran Yushui was already very sure why Kuang Jin had left Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Prompted by Min Cheng''s question, she immediately responded, "Pavilion Head, with Kuang Jin''s current status and pursuits, only a True Emperor Pill would get him to betray Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. If I''m not wrong, Defender Kuang was likely to have left because of a True Emperor Pill." Ran Yushui didn''t have a bad impression of Kuang Jin; in fact, she felt like they were both fellow sufferers. Kuang Jin had tirelessly toiled for Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. However, there was no mention of him obtaining the True Emperor Pill. In fact, he even had to occasionally hand over some of his gains from the Cosmos Wall. All these gains would basically be taken away by the Emperor level experts behind Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. She felt herself to be the same; she was merely a tool for the experts to obtain green crystals. Whatever benefits Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion earned were largely unrelated to them. There was no need to talk about her, even Pavilion Head Min Cheng could only obtain an extremely small portion of the benefits. "That Mo Wuji is a Tier 9 Pill Emperor?" Min Cheng stared at Ran Yushui in astonishment. He had his own assumptions that Mo Wuji was a Pill Emperor, but a Tier 8 one at the very most. Truthfully, in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, there was no lack of Tier 8 Pill Emperors, the number of Tier 9 Pill Emperors, on the other hand, could be counted with only a single hand. However, most Tier 9 Pill Emperors weren''t willing to concoct pills; they would very much rather spend their time on cultivation. Don''t simply see the difference between Tier 8 Pill Emperors and Tier 9 Pill Emperors as a single tier. In reality, the difference was as wide as a heavenly chasm. 99% of Tier 8 Pill Emperors would never be able to become Tier 9 Pill Emperors in their entire lives. This was because they were unable to imbue the dao energy of the Heavens and Earths into their immortal pills. Thus, all Tier 9 Pill Emperors were actually Grand Immortal Emperors that had a deep understanding towards the Dao of the Heavens and Earths. Ran Yushui shook her head, "That''s not possible. That Mo Wuji is incomparably young, his cultivation definitely isn''t in the Immortal Emperor Stage, much less the Grand Emperor Stage. It is already heaven-defying that he is able to become a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. His True Emperor Pill should be obtained through other means. Because of his simple origins and his young age, it is logical for him to use his one True Emperor Pill to recruit a Great Circle Immortal Reverent to help him." Min Cheng nodded; he also believed that it wasn''t possible. Which Tier 9 Pill Emperor wasn''t a renowned and illustrious senior? Why would one be holed up in this city square? Even though this was Heaven''s Beyond City Square, it was still impossible. ¡­ Over the next few days, Mo Wuji had been furiously concocting pills and earning green crystals. Now, he could casually whip up unique grade Tier 8 immortal pills. It was time for him to start on Tier 9 immortal pills. Based on Mo Wuji''s previous thoughts, with his Mortal Dao, his Pill Dao, and his copious amounts of peak grade immortal herbs, he would only require a few batches of practice to concoct Tier 9 immortal pills. But when he had failed for 17 consecutive times, he knew that he was wrong. It seems like concocting Tier 9 immortal pills wasn''t as Tier 8 immortal pills; it wasn''t as simple as more practise and familiarisation. Even though he had obtained many fortunes, he had gone ''bankrupt''. The main thing was that he no longer had enough Tier 9 immortal herbs to practise on. Mo Wuji didn''t continue concocting Tier 9 immortal pills. He suspected that there were some problems with his Pill Dao. This was because his last seven batches had all failed at the same stage - pill condensation. Unfortunately, he didn''t have a master. If he had a Tier 9 Pill Emperor as his master, Mo Wuji believed that his problem would have been quickly resolved. After deliberating for three whole days, Mo Wuji still wasn''t able to find a solution. In his perspective, there weren''t any problems with his hand techniques and his steps. The only problem was that the pills weren''t able to condense. After retrieving ten different immortal herbs, including the Heavenly Silence Grass, Mo Wuji started to clean his pill furnace. He was going to continue and try to concoct the Silent Dust Pill. The way Mo Wuji looked at it, actual practice was the only way out. Since he wasn''t able to discern the solution through reasoning, he would have to slowly discern it through practice. The Silent Dust pill was a Tier 9 healing pill. This pill could be considered one of the most valuable pills in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. After all, Heaven''s Beyond Corridor was fraught with wars and battles; the value of a Tier 9 healing pill was simply immeasurable. The ingredients had been quickly refined by Mo Wuji. Ever since he embarked on the path of the Pill Dao, his methods had already evolved beyond his simple hand techniques and pill techniques. His Pill Dao had developed to the point where every thread of spirituality and energy within the pill furnace was within the control of his spiritual will. Even though Mo Wuji only needed an hour to collect his pills, he decided to use two hours. Previously, his failures always occurred after he collected his pills. Learning from his past mistakes, he directly used his spatial imprisonment technique to forcefully merge the pill essences together. "Crack... Ka¡­" One pill after another started to shatter. What was different from the past was that Mo Wuji was finally able to retrieve one Tier 9 immortal pill. Resting within Mo Wuji''s palm, was a Silent Dust Pill devoid of pill energy; it only exuded a spiritless energy. Very clearly, this was a trash pill. Mo Wuji''s gaze was glued to that trash pill, completely unaware of the time that continued to proceed. One day later, Mo Wuji seemed to have figured something out. He suddenly muttered to himself, "I think I know what''s the reason." A Tier 9 immortal pill was an immortal pill that resonated with the Grand Dao of the Heaven and Earth. With his ordinary methods, even if he could grudgingly concoct a pill, it would lack dao aura. Alternately, it could be said that the pill was without laws. A Tier 9 immortal pill must encompass a law of Dao the Heaven and Earth. Only by infusing a dao law, then could a Tier 9 immortal pill be concocted. Mo Wuji uttered a long sigh. If he was not the progenitor of the Grand Mortal Dao, he would definitely have given up on concocting Tier 9 immortal pills. This was because he knew that any further practice would merely be wasting his Tier 9 immortal herbs. Tier 9 immortal pills could only be concocted by Immortal Emperors that have realised their Daos and resonate with the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. One must gain enlightenment over these laws before he could infuse dao laws into the immortal pill. Moreover, every Tier 9 Pill Emperor would concoct different Tier 9 immortal pills. Different Pill Emperors would concoct pills of different grades and effects. He, Mo Wuji, wasn''t an Immortal Emperor. That was why he didn''t understand that principle previously. If he hadn''t used his Spatial Imprisonment to forcefully concoct a Tier 9 trash pill, he still wouldn''t have understood that principle. He was no Immortal Emperor. However, he was the progenitor of a Grand Dao that even Immortal Emperors couldn''t compare to. Right from the start, his Dao was about finding his own path within the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Since other Tier 9 Pill Emperors could infuse their insights of the dao laws of the Heaven and Earth into their pills, then he could similarly infuse his Grand Mortal Dao into his Tier 9 immortal pill. After understanding this principle, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to retrieve another batch of Silent Dust Pill ingredients. With his fastest speed, he started to purify the ingredients, fuse the medicinal essence¡­ Chapter 762: An Immortal Emperor Arrives Chapter 762: An Immortal Emperor Arrives Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In less than an hour, a faint fragrance wafted out of the pill furnace. With a wave of his hand, six round pills landed in the jade vase he prepared by the side. Mo Wuji was so excited that he didn''t even extinguish his fire as he directly poured a Silent Dust Pill onto his hand. A transient dao energy revolved around the pill; even without needing to try a pill, Mo Wuji knew that this was a peak grade Tier 9 immortal pill. He had finally and officially become a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. As he advanced, Mo Wuji was especially cognizant that he was different from other Tier 9 Pill Emperors. Under normal circumstances, the full batches of different tiers of pills were constant: Tier 1 to 3 - 18; Tier 4 to 6 - 12; Tier 7 to 8 - 6; Tier 9 - 3. But now, he actually concocted six pills in his batch of Silent Dark Pills. He had clearly exceeded an ordinary Tier 9 Pill Emperor. Mo Wuji knew that this wasn''t due to him having a higher talent than others. Instead, it was because his Grand Mortal Dao was far from simple. At the same time, Mo Wuji also became aware of the difficulty to become a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. Even with his Mortal Dao and Pill Dao legacy, he had to borrow his insights into the Laws of Space to advance. This also caused Mo Wuji to change his previous intentions. According to his previous thoughts, he wanted to continue concocting immortal pills. He would concoct Tier 9 immortal pills which he would sell at a higher price. However, now, he knew that he definitely couldn''t reveal the fact that he could concoct Tier 9 immortal pills. If this information was released, then it wouldn''t be long till he loses his freedom. It was so difficult to become a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. Now that he actually became one, it would be weird if no one tried to kidnap him. Another ten over days passed. By this time, Mo Wuji had concocted various sorts Tier 9 immortal pills. Even though he already understood the principle that he had to infuse his dao insights and his understandings of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth into the pills, Mo Wuji still met with frequent failures in his concoctions. Mo Wuji did not mind; he knew that he could overcome this with constant practice. Days continued to pass. Now, Mo Wuji''s success rate was infinitesimally close to 100%. After successfully concocting a batch of True Emperor Pills, he walked out of his room. "House Lord." Seeing Mo Wuji emerge, Kuang Jin hurriedly and respectfully greeted. A Pill Emperor; this was an existence far greater than a mere Great Circle Immortal Reverent like him. After staying here for half a month, Kuang Jin finally understood why Mo Wuji wasn''t willing to leave. This shop was raking in green crystals at an unprecedented rate. Not only that, he even saw some extremely rare peak grade immortal herbs and smithing materials. Moreover, they were getting more and more customers coming here to trade. What left him feeling unsettled was that whenever they received orders for Tier 9 immortal pills, Mo Wuji would concoct Tier 8 immortal pills as a substitute. Fortunately, there was a dearth of peak grade immortal pills in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Thus, those immortals did not argue or quibble and simply accepted the Tier 8 immortal pills. They also knew that if they weren''t to trade, Mortal Pill House could simply refund their green crystals and their items. However, no one wanted that. Since no Tier 9 immortal pills were being concocted, Kuang Jin started to have doubts towards Mo Wuji''s claim that he was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. After all, Tier 9 Pill Emperors were far too rare. At this moment, Mo Wuji retrieved a jade vase, handed it to Kuang Jin and said, "Immortal Friend Kuang, go and try to gain enlightenment on the Emperor Stage. If you fail, I will give you another chance a month later." "These are really True Emperor Pills. You are really a Tier 9 Pill Emperor¡­" Kuang Jin accepted Mo Wuji''s jade vase with shaking hands. Even though he had already cultivated for countless of years, he still couldn''t control his emotions. The Emperor Stage. This was a stage that he had always dreamed of but never had the chance to step on. But now, Mo Wuji even promised him another opportunity to advance to it if he failed this time. How many years had he spent with Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion? He did it all for one True Emperor Pill, however, he never got close to one. The reason why he continued staying there was because he was clear that it was extremely difficult to obtain a True Emperor Pill. He also became clear that Tier 9 Pill Emperors were extremely rare to find. But now, he had only stayed at Mortal Pill House for 20 over days and he received a True Emperor Pill. Only he knew the sheer amount elation and excitement was brimming in his heart at that moment. "Yes. Many thanks, House Lord. I, Kuang Jin, will only take 20 days before I return." Kuang Jin was eventually able to stabilise his emotions and he thanked Mo Wuji calmly. This amount of time clearly wasn''t enough. Kuang Jin hoped that he could return and stabilise his cultivation after he advanced into the Emperor Stage. "There''s no need for you to worry. Just find a place to undergo your tribulation. Even if an Immortal Emperor comes, my Mortal Pill House will be able to persist for one to two months," Mo Wuji laughed gently. Mo Wuji really wasn''t bragging. He believed that even Immortal Emperors wouldn''t dare to go unbridled in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. In this time that Kuang Jin was gone, he would continue to fortify his killing array and his defensive array. With his current abilities, coupled with his Grade 7 arrays, in addition to the fact that they were in Heaven''s Beyond City Square, Mo Wuji even suspected that he could stay safe for another half a year. He didn''t offer any other advice or help to Kuang Jin. To gain enlightenment on the Immortal Emperor Stage, Kuang Jin would need to find an extremely remote place. With Kuang Jin''s years in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, Mo Wuji believed that it should be simple for Kuang Jin to find such a place. Moreover, he had more important things to do. Even if Kuang Jin chose not to return after advancing to the Immortal Emperor Stage, it wouldn''t really of a huge loss to Mo Wuji; it was just a True Emperor Pill. To others, the True Emperor Pill might be a peerless treasure that they might not obtain in their entire lives. But to Mo Wuji, it really wasn''t anything much. In this period of time, he had easily obtained more than ten True Emperor Seeking Heart Flower. "Also, I want to remind you. I don''t mind if you choose to go against your promise. But you definitely cannot reveal my identity as a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. If it does get revealed, I, Mo Wuji, swear that the first person I will destroy is you." Mo Wuji added. Kuang Jin replied solemnly and respectfully, "Kuang Jin will remember the House Lord''s words. I definitely will not casually reveal that information." Compared to Mo Wuji, Kuang Jin was even more aware of the scarcity and rarity of Tier 9 Pill Emperors. If the news that Mortal Pill House had a Tier 9 Pill Emperor was spread, it would really spell disaster for him and Mortal Pill House. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he dared to go against the promise, he didn''t dare to reveal that Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor. How could he not know how powerful a Tier 9 Pill Emperor was? If he offended a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, then he would have to go into hiding for the rest of his life. He would only be courting death if he did such a thing. As she saw Kuang Jin leave excitedly, Lou Si asked in disbelief, "Big Brother Mo, you really gave him a True Emperor Pill?" Mo Wuji chuckled, "That''s right. But that isn''t much. After all this ends, I will also give you the remunerations you deserve. Among which, there would be Extreme Reverent Pill and the True Emperor Pill." Lou Si had helped him significantly. Without Lou Si, he wouldn''t have been able to wholeheartedly concentrate on concocting pills, much less advance to the Tier 9 Pill Emperor Stage in such a short time. "I will get one too?" Even though the rewards hadn''t arrived in her hands, Lou Si''s heart had already started to race in agitation. These two immortal pills were simply pills she could only dream of. She could only get this opportunity because she became acquainted with a Pill Emperor. She never suspected that Mo Wuji would lie to her. After working with Mo Wuji for this period of time, she was especially clear of Mo Wuji''s character. "Of course, what I need to do now is to fortify the arrays outside our pill house," Mo Wuji laughed and said. ¡­ A medium-built, clean-shaven man stepped into Heaven''s Beyond City Square. He had an ugly scowl on his face. The moment this man arrived, Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Min Cheng, Wen Li and Ran Yushui came to greet him, "Min Cheng greets Elder Du." Min Cheng''s tone was filled with respect. As he was speaking, his waist was bowed till his head was almost at the ground. This man snorted coldly, "Useless things. You can''t even control a mere pill refiner and you still have the galls to control Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion." This clean-shaven man was Mifei Trade Union''s Immortal Emperor Du Song. The reason why he was filled with displeasure was because he was at a critical point in his cultivation; he was about to break through to the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. At this moment, every single breath of time was worth as much as gold. However, it was exactly at this moment that he had to come to Heaven''s Beyond City Square to deal with this trivial matter. Why would he not be angry? Moreover, he had no choice but to come. Who asked him to have the lowest cultivation and status among the Immortal Emperors in Mifei Trade Union? "Yes, yes¡­" Min Cheng did not dare to rebut; he could only nod his head incessantly. "Hurry and bring me to that dogsh*t Mortal Pill House. If this Emperor doesn''t burn that place to the ground, this Emperor''s heart would be filled with displeasure," Du Hong snorted. He was only filled with animosity towards Mortal Pill House''s Mo Wuji. A mere ant had actually wasted his time. Chapter 763: Danger To Mortal Pill House Chapter 763: Danger To Mortal Pill House Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Big Brother Mo, take a rest," Lou Si hurriedly said when she saw Mo Wuji emerge from his room. Ever since Kuang Jin left to validate his Dao and advance to become an Immortal Emperor, this was the first time that Mo Wuji left his room in this half a month. "Alright. I will rest for a day. Lou Si, you can take a rest too." Mo Wuji''s tone was brimming with elation. Over this short period of time, not only did they manage to collect all sorts of peak grade herbs and materials, they also managed to gather two to three million green crystals. He sighed in emotion at the abundance here in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. If he continued to concoct pills and sell them for an entire year, he would no longer have to worry about cultivation resources ever again. "I''m not tired. My job has been very simple," Lou Si said hurriedly. Indeed, her job was rather simple; she merely collected the immortal herbs and green crystals and gave out the immortal pills in return. Mo Wuji nodded, "Then you will continue collecting immortal herbs and green crystals. I will be back after one or two days." "Big Brother Mo, you are leaving?" Lou Si asked in astonishment. Mo Wuji retrieved an array flag and handed it to Lou Si, "This is the master array flag. If anyone dares to cause trouble, you can use it to activate the killing array. I will be notified the moment you activate the array." "Yes." Lou Si didn''t know why Mo Wuji was leaving, but she knew that it was better not to ask. Mo Wuji didn''t explain the situation to Lou Si. The reason why he was leaving was because his spiritual will detected the men from Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion welcoming an early stage Immortal Emperor to the city square. And that Immortal Emperor was currently heading towards his direction. Clearly, this Immortal Emperor was one of the backers behind Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, and he had probably come here to tear Mortal Pill House down. Originally, Mo Wuji thought that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion would have sent at least two or three Immortal Emperors over. Even if they only dispatched a single Immortal Emperor, it wouldn''t be one of the early Immortal Emperor Stage. It should be a Grand Emperor, or a late-stage Immortal Emperor at the very least. But when Mo Wuji saw that the other party had only sent a single early-stage Immortal Emperor over, he was rather speechless. These people were clearly underestimating his Mortal Pill House. His killing array wasn''t meant to be used against a mere early stage Immortal Emperor. ¡­ "Mo Wuji?" Ran Yushui recognised Mo Wuji the moment he appeared. Even though she had never seen Mo Wuji personally before, she had done thorough investigations on him. Of course, her investigations were only limited to what that Mo Wuji had done since he appeared in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. "You are Mo Wuji? That Tier 8 Pill Emperor? The House Lord of Mortal Pill House?" Du Hong said coldly. He stopped in his tracks and started sizing Mo Wuji up. Thereafter, he turned and stared at Min Cheng coldly. Even though he wasn''t able to discern Mo Wuji''s exact cultivation, he was sure that Mo Wuji wasn''t in the Immortal Emperor Stage. There was no need to care about any other factors; he only needed to look at Mo Wuji''s age to be sure that Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t an Immortal Emperor. A young cultivator, that could only be an Immortal Reverent at the very most, had actually left Min Cheng helpless and in need of Mifei Trade Union''s help. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "That''s right. I am Mo Wuji. Make way, a good dog knows not to block the road." As he was speaking, Mo Wuji forced himself through the middle of the group. Wen Li''s eyes turned cold as she immediately wanted to attack. However, she was stopped by Du Hong, "So it''s an arrogant kid. Well, there''s nothing wrong with that. After all, a Pill Emperor is an existence that would be revered anywhere he went. Min Cheng, you are a lord in this city square, aren''t you being too cautious? Were you actually scared by this kind of fella? I will let you off this time. I will get rid of this Mo fella for you¡­" Min Cheng hurriedly and respectfully said, "Yes, this is my mistake. Many thanks to Elder Du for your magnanimity. I also know that Elder Du has many matters to handle and doesn''t have time to stay for tea. This is a small token of our appreciation, I hope that Elder Du doesn''t reject it." As he was speaking, Min Cheng offered a storage ring to Du Hong, cupped in both his hands. His heart was bleeding as he cursed Mo Wuji. Of all timings, why did this Mo Wuji choose to come out now? He had gone through many difficulties to syphon off this bit of green crystals, but he lost it all in one go. Du Hong accepted the ring and the tension on his face eased, "That''s how it will go then. If there''s time, I will return." "Yes. Many thanks, Elder Du," Min Cheng bowed once more. Previously, Elder Du definitely wouldn''t return after he eliminated Mo Wuji. But on account of the items in the storage ring, he said that he would return to help them get rid of Kuang Jin as well. "Pavilion Head, I feel that something is strange. Why did that Mo Wuji coincidentally leave his pill house at this moment? Something feels amiss." As she saw Du Hong leaving, Ran Yushui uttered in doubt. Min Cheng sighed, "Just because he''s a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, he feels that he''s the king of the world. I was indeed overly cautious previously. If I knew that he was so arrogant, I would have directly stormed into his Mortal Pill House with this group of us. Why did we go through all this trouble? I, Min Cheng, have been resting on my laurels and I was actually handled by this fella. Let''s go then. We will deal with Mortal Pill House when Elder Du returns." Ran Yushui and Wen Li both knew the meaning behind Min Cheng''s words. It wasn''t that they were insufficient to deal with Mortal Pill House, it was because they were worried that Du Hong might blame them when he returns. With a Tier 8 Pill Emperor and the great flow of business, there would definitely be no lack of goodies within Mortal Pill House. Thus, he would have to wait for Elder Du to return before they could act. That way, they wouldn''t be accused of stealing treasures. Ran Yushui remained silent; she was thinking of Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji was really as idiotic and arrogant as they said, how was he able to recruit Kuang Jin in a single exchange? She suspected that Kuang Jin might not even be in the pill house, but preparing to ambush Elder Du with Mo Wuji. However, her cultivation was the lowest; so she had no rights to talk. If not for her intelligence being relatively good, she wouldn''t even be here. ¡­ Within a round building in the centre of Heaven''s Beyond City Square, a relatively fat man was standing in front of a tall cultivator that had a sallow face. If asked who was the most powerful person within Heaven''s Beyond City Square, everyone would undoubtedly mention this sallow-faced man''s name. He was Teng Feiyan, the castellan of Heaven''s Beyond City Square. This round building was the castellan mansion of Heaven''s Beyond City Square. As the castellan, he was in charge of everything in the city square. The organisational structure of Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s City Hall was rather complicated. It was exactly because of these complications that Mifei Trade Union could run amok and unbridled within the city square. The City Hall was the most powerful organisation in Heaven''s Beyond City Square, and it wasn''t merely a place for administrative and governmental work. Behind the City Hall, there were many various other powers. Teng Feiyan had advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage not long ago. Thus, his time as the castellan of Heaven''s Beyond City Square was running out. The role of the castellan had always been taken by an Immortal Reverent. Because of the high salary, most of these Immortal Reverents would advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage. The moment they advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage, they would leave and a new castellan would take over. "Deacon Lang Bi, you said that Mo Wuji left the city square just as Mifei Trade Union''s Du hong arrived?" Teng Feiyan ruminated for a long time before he finally asked this question. The relatively fat man in front of Teng Feiyan was Lang Bi, he was the number one deacon in Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s City Hall. He was also the person second to Teng Feiyan in the City Hall. Once Teng Feiyan leaves the City Hall, the next in line should supposedly be him. However, both Teng Feiyan and Lang Bi knew that the position definitely wouldn''t go to Lang Bi. With the highest salary in the City Hall, there were far too many people eyeing this position. Lang Bi said respectfully, "Yes. I suspect that Mo Wuji should have done this on purpose. Perhaps Kuang Jin had secretly left the city square and the two of them intend to ambush Du Hong together. Logically, Du Hong should also have thought of such a possibility. I didn''t expect that Du Hong would still choose to follow Mo Wuji." Teng Feiyan sneered, "You think that Du Hong is an idiot? He wouldn''t have thought that Mo Wuji and that Kuang Jin intend to ambush him?" "I believe that Du Hong doesn''t even place the two of them in his eyes," Lang Bi answered. This was the only logical explanation. Otherwise, how could an Immortal Emperor not know that Mo Wuji was intentionally luring him out? "You''re wrong. It''s true that Du Hong doesn''t place Mo Wuji in his eyes. However, the more important reason is that there should be riches on Mo Wuji that even the two of us can never fathom. Unfortunately, that fella is courting death and Du Hong is the only one that gets to feast on him," Teng Feiyan sighed and said. If Mo Wuji didn''t leave, Mo Wuji''s ring would have to be handed over, and the things inside would be centrally administered by Min Cheng. If that happened, Du Hong wouldn''t be the one that obtains the majority of the treasures. Unfortunately, that Mo Wuji was intentionally courting death. As for the riches that Mo Wuji had on him, how could Teng Feiyan, as the castellan, not be clear of it? Every day, countless of immortals head over to Mortal Pill House and engage in trade. Even if they didn''t actually trade anything, just entering the queue would cost them ten green crystals. This, alone, would generate tens of thousands of green crystals for Mortal Pill House. If every immortal traded 100 green crystals with Mortal Pill House, then that Mo Wuji would have at least a million to two million green crystals by now. Moreover, Teng Feiyan was sure that each person wouldn''t simply spend only 100 green crystals. After all, Mortal Pill House was simply dirt cheap compared to other places. All this was even excluding the various immortal herbs, smithing materials, etc. Just when Teng Feiyan was feeling jealous of Du Hong, the communication bead in Lang Bi''s hand shone brightly; a message had been sent over. Lang Bi hurriedly swept it with his spiritual will and reported, "Castellan, news has just come in: Mortal Pill House has been surrounded. The shop owners in Heaven''s Beyond City Square believe that Mortal Pill House is stealing their customers, causing their businesses to start running on a bank." Teng Feiyan sneered, bank run? 1 Even if there wasn''t Mortal Pill House, many immortals in Heaven''s Beyond City Square definitely wouldn''t take their savings out and trade them away. "Come, let''s take a look," Teng Feiyan suddenly stood up and said. He knew that there was still an attendant in Mortal Pill House. That attendant should have a portion of the green crystals. He was going to leave the city square soon; so he should get some benefits from Mortal Pill House, right? He had to make use of Du Hong''s absence. What better time was there than now? Chapter 764: Battling An Immortal Emperor Chapter 764: Battling An Immortal Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment Mo Wuji left Heaven''s Beyond City Square, he sped up rapidly. The reason why he lured Du Hong out of the city square was because he wanted to ascertain his true power now that he had stepped into the Immortal Reverent Stage. Even if he wasn''t able to match Du Hong, he could easily escape with his Wind Escape Technique. In less than an hour, Du Hong''s figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Mo Wuji. "There''s no need to go to your ambush site. Call your companion out, I''m too lazy to continue running along with you," Du Hong uttered in a calm and indifferent tone; he didn''t even take out his magic treasure. Mo Wuji also stopped in his tracks. He wielded his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he said, "You''re so boring. I wanted to bring you further away from Heaven''s Beyond City Square; how could I know that you would want to bring your death forward." Du Hong frowned. He discovered that his guess was off. In what why did this Pill Emperor in front of him look like he was preparing an ambush? This fella clearly wanted to have a head-on battle with him, could this fella be an Immortal Emperor as well? "You''re an Immortal Emperor?" The expression on Du Hong''s face hardened. With a wave of his hand, a pitch black whip appeared in his palm. Not only that, an immortal guard appeared on his chest. Since Mo Wuji dared to utter such words, he was clearly an Immortal Emperor as well. Du Hong didn''t believe that an Immortal Reverent would dare to fight one alone. "Let''s cut the crap. Look out for my halberd." Mo Wuji stepped forward into the air, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd cleaved down towards Du Hong like a huge mountain. "You''re only an Immortal Reverent?" Du Hong was dumbfounded. Even though Mo Wuji''s halberd strike was strong, the moment it emerged, he knew that Mo Wuji wasn''t an Immortal Emperor. When an Immortal Emperor attacked, his attack would be infused with his personal dao aura and contained the Laws of the Heaven and Earth; and his sacred art would be capable of shaking the Heaven and Earth. Thus, it was possible for an Immortal King to challenge an Immortal Reverent, but it was absolutely impossible for an Immortal Reverent to pit himself against an Immortal Emperor. An Immortal Reverent could only depend on the quality of his immortal elemental energy. An Immortal Emperor, on the other hand, could beckon the power of the Heaven and Earth. Immediately, Du Hong felt rage rush into his head. A mere Immortal Reverent had really dared to lure him out for a one on one battle. Was there something wrong with this fella''s brain? He really thought that Mo Wuji was a tiger disguised as a pig, but this Mo Wuji was really a pig. It was unknown how such an idiot could become a Pill Emperor. Perhaps he had always been surrounded by protectors. Now, he no longer had any protectors around him, but he continued to think that he was the number one person in the entire world. "Idiot¡­" Du Hong speechlessly kept his immortal guard. He extended his Immortal Emperor Domain and a Law which contained the power of the Heaven and Earth sealed this part of space. If he had to use both his attack and defence type magic treasures to deal with a mere Immortal Reverent, wouldn''t he, Du Hong, be throwing all his face away? Mo Wuji sneered; his whirlpool domain also extended outwards at this very instant. The reason why he didn''t immediately display his domain was because he wanted Du Hong to underestimate him. Indeed, he wasn''t an Immortal Emperor, and it''s true that he didn''t know how to infuse the Laws of the Heaven and Earth into his attacks. However, he had his own Grand Dao. There was no need to talk about being an Immortal Reverent; the moment he became an immortal, he already had his own Dao infused into his moves. "Boom! Boom! Boom! Kacha! Crack, crack, crack¡­" Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain clashed against Du Hong''s domain, immediately shattering the space between them. Du Hong''s heart started to pound heavily; he actually felt his Immortal Emperor Domain being ground inch by inch by Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. Before he could even react, a halberd light, that seemed as tangible as an actual halberd, cleaved down towards him. Cold sweat oozed out of Du Hong''s back. If Du Hong still didn''t know that Mo Wuji wasn''t a simple Immortal Reverent, then he would have really have wasted all his years of cultivation. Despite not being an Immortal Emperor, Mo Wuji was actually able to behave normally against his power of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, Mo Wuji could even shatter his domain. Within Mo Wuji''s domain, he could feel an ordinary, but hard-to-explain Grand Dao. Clearly, his Immortal Emperor dao aura wasn''t able to provide him with an advantage over Mo Wuji. However, Du Hong also knew that it was too late for him to retrieve his guard. The whip in his hand transformed into a huge dragon. Its mouth opened like a huge black hole, devouring Mo Wuji''s halberd light. At the same time, its tail zoomed towards Mo Wuji. "Boom¡­" Unending waves of immortal elemental energy exploded around them. The sand from the desert wasteland filled the air and the reverberating sounds of explosions echoed in the sand. A violent burst of immortal elemental energy broke into Mo Wuji''s domain. Mo Wuji felt a huge pain in his chest as he immediately felt the sweet taste of blood in his mouth. Mo Wuji knew that when battling experts with a vastly higher cultivation, he definitely couldn''t allow his opponent to regain his composure. If that happened, they would form a deadlock which was anything but good for him. Mo Wuji forcefully endured his impulse to cough blood as he threw his entire body into Du Hong''s domain. At the same time, he threw a punch outwards. Du Hong''s Laws might be able to frighten other Immortal Reverents, but he must be dreaming if he thought that was enough to suppress him, Mo Wuji. Because Du Hong underestimated Mo Wuji, his domain was gradually being shattered by Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. And now, with Mo Wuji''s Domain Crushing Fist, Du Hong''s domain immediately exploded. Feeling that his Immortal Emperor aura was useless against Mo Wuji, Du Hong snorted coldly and his guard appeared. The whip in his hand whipped out once more, conjuring a pitch black whip shadow which sped towards Mo Wuji. At the same time, he solidified his spiritual will and tried to forcefully envelop Mo Wuji''s Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Mo Wuji felt it the moment his Half Moon Weighted Halberd got restrained by Du Hong''s spiritual will; his heart was filled with shock. He had the Starsea Sacred Technique which was a technique used to temper one''s sea of consciousness. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t wholeheartedly cultivate that technique, he already had a preliminary understanding of it. This technique wasn''t merely used to temper the sea of consciousness. Once the sea of consciousness strengthens to a certain level, it would allow spiritual will to become a means of attack; spiritual will would no longer only have an auxiliary function. Once spiritual will could be used as an attack, it would countless of times stronger than immortal elemental energy attacks. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji had always been on the run; while his cultivation had risen, his attack methods remained limited. He also had plenty of treasures on him, but he had never had the tiem to refine them and study them, Now that his Half Moon Weighted Halberd had been sealed by Du Hong''s spiritual will, Mo Wuji knew that he was going to be at a disadvantage. He did not have a primordial spirit, but he was sure that his sea of consciousness was definitely stronger than an early stage Immortal Emperor like Du Hong. Even so, Du Hong was able to use spiritual will to seal his weapon; it was useless even though his sea of consciousness was stronger. Unfortunately, he didn''t even have time to contemplate these matters. At this moment, DU Hong''s black whip shadow suddenly exploded within Mo Wuji''s domain. It transformed into countless of tiny black whip shadows. Even though these whip shadows were formed in the shape of whips, they were extremely sharp as they easily penetrated through Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. "Boom!" Mo Wuji''s Domain Crushing Fist completely shattered Du Hong''s domain, landing strongly on Du Hong''s chest guard. A huge rebound of energy exploded within Du Hong, forcing him to cough out an arrow of blood. However, Du Hong''s expression remained fierce. He knew that he had merely been injured. Mo Wuji, on the other hand, would be thoroughly ravaged by his whip shadows. Even Mo Wuji''s primordial spirit could only dissipate under his Spirit Splitting Whip. By this time, even Du Hong could not help but praise Mo Wuji''s relentlessness. If Mo Wuji chose to retract his punch and retreat, he wouldn''t have been surrounded by Du Hong''s Spirit Splitting Whip. Of course, that was only within Du Hong''s calculations. If Mo Wuji kept his fist and retreated, he would transform his Spirit Splitting Whip to become his Spirit Splitting Killing Array. Mo Wuji would merely be delaying his death. It was just as Du Hong predicted; his Spirit Splitting Whip directly pierced through Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain, enveloping Mo Wuji''s entire body. "Pff! Pff! Pff!" As fogs of blood oozed out of Mo Wuji''s body, he snatched his Half Moon Weighted Halberd back from Du Hong''s spiritual will. Trails of blood continued to shoot out of his body. At this instant, even his face was being ravaged by Du Hong''s Spirit Splitting Whip. "You''re actually okay?" Du Hong grabbed his Spirit Splitting Whip and stared at Mo Wuji in aghast. In his mind, Mo Wuji''s body should have been completely ravaged into a huge fog of blood due to his Spirit Splitting Whip. He definitely didn''t think that only many scars of blood would form on Mo Wuji. Don''t simply look at the fact that Mo Wuji currently looked no different from a blood man. Du Hong was clearer than anyone else that Mo Wuji''s injuries were much lighter than his. He forcefully accepted Mo Wuji''s fist, all so his attack could utterly destroy Mo Wuji''s fleshly body. However, his Spirit Splitting Whip only managed to form scars on Mo Wuji''s body. For immortals, such superficial wounds were no different from itches. Mo Wuji''s eyes were as calm as a pool of dead water. He didn''t even respond to Du Hong''s words as his Half Moon Weighted Halberd transformed into a cascading river. "You have a late stage God Physique?" Du Hong suddenly understood what was going on. Only a late stage God Physique could withstand his Spirit Splitting Whip and remain unharmed. Even though he didn''t fall into an obvious disadvantage, a trace of fear suddenly appeared within Du Hong''s heart. As an Immortal Emperor, he had seen countless of geniuses. However, he had never seen a God Physique cultivator, much less one in the late stage. If Mo Wuji continued to meet his force with force, even an early stage Immortal Emperor like him wouldn''t be able to wind. The Winding River cascaded down from the sky, transforming in the silver coloured light. The light enveloped the entire space around Du Hong, including Du Hong''s domain. "Spirit Splitting¡­" Du Hong maintained a fierce expression on his face as he attacked with his Spirit Splitting Whip once more. His black whip seemed to melt like a cube of ice, instantly filling the entire space with black energy. Mo Wuji immediately felt his spiritual will turning sluggish and his entire sea of consciousness being invaded by this black energy. This was a sacred art that could destroy one''s primordial spirit? Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding. The universe was so vast, there was indeed a myriad of different methods. To think that there was such a move that could destroy one''s primordial spirit during a battle. Unfortunately, this fella met him, Mo Wuji. He did not have a primordial spirit. Instead, he had a vast and boundless sea of consciousness, and within that sea of consciousness, there was a huge violet lake. The violet energy within the violet lake churned, instantly sweeping away that black energy within his sea of consciousness. With this violet lake, Du Hong''s Spirit Splitting Whip would be useless even if Mo Wuji had a primordial spirit. What''s more, Mo Wuji didn''t even have a primordial spirit. At the same instant Mo Wuji expelled Du Hong''s black energy, he punched outwards. However, this punch only moved a short distance before it suddenly stopped. At this moment, Mo Wuji''s face suddenly turned blank. Chapter 765: The Strongest Immortal Reverent Chapter 765: The Strongest Immortal Reverent Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Du Hong saw Mo Wuji''s slack fist and blank face, he heaved a sigh of relief. If his Spirit Splitting Sacred Art wasn''t able to do anything to Mo Wuji''s primordial spirit, then he would have to retreat. He had even killed an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor with his Spirit Splitting Sacred Art before. Thus, he believed that an Immortal Reverent like Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t be able to defend against it. Indeed, Mo Wuji was helpless against his move. "Ant, die for me." With a single step, Du Hong appeared in front of Mo Wuji. He extended his arm and grabbed towards Mo Wuji''s forehead. At such a young age, Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, and incomparably strong Immortal Reverent, and even a God Physique cultivator. Du Hong was sure that Mo Wuji definitely had a secret. Even though he had to suffer some injuries, it was worth it. When Du Hong''s hand was only a few centimetres away from Mo Wuji''s forehead, he suddenly felt the space around him turn still. At this instant, his body suddenly couldn''t move. "Not good, I fell for his trap." Du Hong immediately came to an understanding; his Spirit Splitting Sacred Art didn''t even affect his opponent. The reason why his opponent''s punch stopped suddenly was because that punch was a spatial sealing sacred art; it didn''t even need to land on him. Du Hong was right; Mo Wuji''s punch was indeed his Spatial Imprisonment. He knew that even though he had already advanced to the Immortal Reverent Stage, he could only imprison Du Hong for half a breath''s time. Even so, this half a breath was enough. Because, at this very moment, his Winding River cascaded down on Du Hong. A sense of impending doom surged through his mind. Du Hong''s eyes turned red as he cried out, "Explode for me¡­" "Pff!" As the silver Winding River descended, Du Hong''s entire body was smashed into meat juice. "Boom!" At the same time, Du Hong''s Spirit Splitting Whip suddenly exploded. A terrifying energy flooded the entire space as a rush of force charged towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji immediately felt as though his entire body had been slammed against by the heaviest steel hammer. The ground of the desert wasteland exploded as Mo Wuji was forced down onto the ground. The sounds of his bones shattering could be heard even by himself. However, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that if he didn''t have a God Physique, Du Hong''s self-exploding whip would have defeated him. Even if it wasn''t able to kill him, it would have destroyed his fleshly body. Even though he had a late stage God Physique, he was still heavily injured. At the end of the day, the root cause of all this was that his cultivation was too far from Du Hong''s. Mo Wuji retrieved some healing pills and popped them into his mouth. At the same time, he enveloped the entire space with his spiritual will. He immediately caught signs of a weak primordial spirit, and with a quick swipe of his hand, that primordial spirit was pinched within his palm. "Give me a chance to leave. I will do anything you say." Du Hong''s primordial spirit was extremely weak. He wanted to escape during the explosion, but unfortunately, Mo Wuji''s Winding River was too strong. Not only did it destroy his fleshly body, it continuously tore away at his primordial spirit. Indeed, he was caught by Mo Wuji before he could escape. His heart was filled with regrets; he should not have come here. How could anyone that dared to start a pill house in Heaven''s Beyond City Square be simple? At the same time, he knew that he was likely to die today. Mo Wuji said coldly, "I don''t show mercy to anything that wanted to kill me. Moreover, your ring and your magic treasure have already been exploded, so I can''t even find a reason to spare you." Du Hong''s heart sank, "Mo Wuji, if I wasn''t anxiously trying to kill you, causing me to fall into your trap, you would never have been able to kill me. With my power, even intermediate stage Immortal Emperors would be killed. I''m much stronger than that Kuang Jin. Now, I swear on my soul that as long as you spare my life¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Du Hong''s words, "If I wasn''t afraid of the rebound, I would have long used my Wheel of Life and Death to get rid of you. Why would I wait for you to explode your whip." As he was speaking, Mo Wuji tightened his grip. Du Hong''s primordial spirit directly dissipated, turning into nothingness. Mo Wuji wasn''t lying to Du Hong in his final sentence. He was worried that Du Hong might be too strong, causing his Wheel of Life and Death to rebound back on himself. After experiencing this battle with an Immortal Emperor, Mo Wuji was clear that what he needed to do urgently wasn''t to continue raising his cultivation. Instead, he had to learn to use his spiritual will during battles. If his spiritual will could also be used for attacks, he would have killed Du Hong more easily. And there was also his Wheel of Life and Death; it could be slightly altered. If it didn''t necessarily lead to one life and one death, then it could become his greatest killing ace. Sometimes, what''s strong wasn''t a skill that could get rid of his opponent at a single go. If his Wheel of Life and Death was able to heavily injure his opponent during a battle, it would also be a supreme sacred art. ¡­ Heaven''s Beyond City Square. Outside Mortal Pill House. At this instant, thousands of shop owners were gathered here. They were all calling for the House Lord of Mortal Pill House to come and give them an account. Otherwise, they would storm into Mortal Pill House. "Castellan, should we go over now?" Hidden at some corner, Lang Bi whispered to Teng Feiyan. Teng Feiyan chuckled, "Naturally not. We will wait till the place gets stormed and things get messy. That''s when we go over." Lou SI was at a loss. Currently, she was the only one in Mortal Pill House. Facing so many shop owners that threatened to charge into Mortal Pill House, it wouldn''t be enough even if she activated the killing array. "Everyone, listen to me¡­" Even though Lou Si was nervous, she had to step forward. Even though these hotheaded shop owners hadn''t charged into Mortal Pill House, Lou Si was clear that it wouldn''t be long until that happened. At this point, a tiny spark could incite everyone to flood into Mortal Pill House together. Lou Si''s words lined with immortal elemental energy slightly stunned the surging crowds. She hurriedly used this opportunity to speak loudly, "My Mortal Pill Hous provides pills for all immortal friends. Other shop owners are jealous of our prosperity, and they can no longer earn their money unscrupulously, which is why they want to attack my Mortal Pill House. If my Mortal Pill House is attacked, there''s no need to talk about how everyone would no longer be able to purchase cheap pills. Also, those immortal friends that have already paid would not be able to retrieve their green crystals¡­" After saying this, Lou Si stopped. These words were given to her by Mo Wuji. If these words weren''t enough, then she would have to activate the killing array. Mo Wuji knew that Lou Si wasn''t a good speaker; so he didn''t teach her any other words. If it was him, he would still have other words to deter the crowds of shop owners. Indeed, the moment Lou Si''s words were uttered, the immortals waiting in line outside Mortal Pill House started to get rowdy. They had already paid the green crystals. If Mortal Pill House gets wrecked, then what would happen to their green crystals? As these thousands of immortals stood forward, other immortals also joined them. These immortals were those that intend to purchase pills from Mortal Pill House in the future. When they saw this scene, the shop owners were instantly dumbfounded. They never thought that Mortal Pill House would have such a strong rallying power. None of these people queuing in line was simple; they were all heroes that survived the wars under the Cosmos Wall. At this moment, some shop owners started to leave secretly. The number of shop owners was originally lesser than the number of people in the queue. Now that some people left, it immediately sparked a chain effect. In a short time, all the gathered shop owners left. With a few words, a violent robbery actually didn''t take place. Observing from afar, Teng Feiyan had a solemn expression on his face. By his side, Lang Bi sighed in praise, "This House Lord of Mortal Pill House isn''t simple. So there was a reason why he had all those in the queue pay ten green crystals." Lang Bi was indeed rather impressed. When he saw Lou Si come forward, he thought that she had come to give the shop owners and explanation. However, he knew that Mortal Pill House would never give these shop owners anything. Not only that, Lou Si even turned to scold those shop owners. "Lang Bi, if that Mo Wuji returns to the city square, invite him over to the City Hall. I want to meet him." Teng Feiyan didn''t respond to Lang Bi''s words. Instead, he said some unrelated words. "I know of Du Hong. Even though he is an early stage Immortal Emperor, he is infinitesimally close to the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. I even heard that he had killed an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor with his Spirit Splitting Whip. Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger¡­" Lang Bi didn''t carry on; he knew that Teng Feiyan understood his meaning. Teng Feiyan laughed coldly, "That Mo Wuji even knew that these shop owners would try and turn violent. Would he not know of Du Hong''s power? Even though he knew of Du Hong''s power, he still dared to lure Du Hong out of Heaven''s Beyond City Square. Why is that? It isn''t that Du Hong is weak; he is the same as me. The two of us wouldn''t even place Mo Wuji in our eyes. If it was me, I would also follow Mo Wuji out of the city square if I know that Mo Wuji isn''t an Immortal Emperor." As an Immortal Emperor, how could Teng Feiyan not know how wide was the chasm between an Immortal Reverent and an Immortal Emperor? If Mo Wuji was really able to get rid of Du Hong as an Immortal Reverent, then he was probably the strongest Immortal Reverent in the entire universe. Chapter 766: Getting Acquainted With The Castellan Chapter 766: Getting Acquainted With The Castellan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Once Teng Feiyan just finished speaking, Lang Bi received a message. After his spiritual will swept out, his face turned black, "Castellan, Mo Wuji really returned." "What?" Teng Feiyan suddenly stood up, shocked. Although he guessed that Mo Wuji didn''t lure Du Hong away out of fear, and could probably even eliminate Du Hong. However, once Mo Wuji really came back, after such a short period of time, he was still stunned. If Mo Wuji returned after many days, it would be likely that Du Hong got tricked before being ambushed by him. But in such a short period of time, which did not even amount to a single day, there was only one possibility: Mo Wuji had fought Du Hong head on and Du Hong was defeated. "Invite him over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him." Teng Feiyan quickly calmed down, and said softly. "Roger, I''ll ask him to come over now. I''m only worried about whether he will really take up the offer." Lang Bi also became serious. After all, he somewhat feared Mo Wuji in his heart. From his perspective, no matter how impressive Mo Wuji was, he wouldn''t dare to come to the city hall alone. There was no chance for him to leave this place alive if an ambush was set up here. Moreover, no one would put out their neck for him regarding this issue. Even if he died, he deserved it. Teng Feiyan casually commented,"If he doesn''t come, it means this person is not worth being acquainted with no matter how impressive he is." Seeing Lang Bi leave, Teng Feiyan felt that his strategy might not be the best. If it were any other Pill Emperors who earned a large amount of green crystals, that person wouldn''t dare to come to the city hall either. Hence, judging whether Mo Wuji was worth getting to know wasn''t very appropriate. Would it be better for him to make a trip in person instead? Sc*w it, Teng Feiyan shook his head after hesitating for a moment. Heaven''s Beyond Corridor had many capable men, and he, Teng Feiyan, was still an Immortal Emperor after all. It wouldn''t be fitting if he went to visit a shop owner. ¡­ "Brother Mo, you''re back." Lou Si enthusiastically greeted Mo Wuji as he walked into the pill house. After which, she began recounting what had happened when many people came to attack Mortal Pill House without prompting. Even though many immortals that came had made noise then, but all of them were simply a scattered plate of sand in the face of an Immortal Emperor if the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion really decided to attack the Pill House. At that point, they probably would have to leave Heaven''s Beyond City Square. Thankfully, the Immortal Emperor at Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion was too proud to use such a method and died under Mo Wuji''s hands after trying to oppress the Mortal Pill House. "House Master Mo, our Castellan has invited you to city hall. Do you have the time to go over?" A male voice echoed out from the pill house''s entrance. "Lou Si greets Deacon Lang." Lou Si quickly greeted the man that had just arrived. She then quickly explained to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, this is Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s Deacon Lang Bi. All administrative issues are managed by him." Mo Wuji naturally heard of Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s city hall, and also the Castellan Teng Feiyan. He knew that Teng Feiyan had just advanced to Immortal Emperor not long ago, which meant that the guy would leave Heaven''s Beyond City Square soon. While he had no dealings with Teng Feiyan, and his shop had been obtained by lawful means, Mo Wuji knew that he could not offend this Castellan if he wanted to continue doing business in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. "Lou Si, continue collecting immortal herbs and green crystals. I can''t delay my visit to the Castellan since he has invited me. I''ll be back soon." Mo Wuji made up his mind in an instant. "Roger Brother Mo." Lou Si replied. "Deacon Lang, please show me the way." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully as he spoke with a chuckle. "Ah¡­ Good, House Master Mo please follow me." Lang Bi was prepared to hear Mo Wuji''s reject the offer, but never did he expect that Mo Wuji would take it up. Who didn''t know that this House Master Mo had mountains of treasures on his now? He didn''t even know where Mo Wuji''s confidence came from. Was Mo Wuji so sure that the Castellan wouldn''t attack him? Although Mo Wuji was only at elementary Immortal Reverent Stage, he didn''t fear Teng Feiyan at all. Teng Feiyan was definitely weaker than the Immortal Emperor from Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, so what was there to be afraid of? Trap arrays? How would a Grade 7 Array Master like himself be afraid of trap arrays? ¡­ In Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, Pavilion Lord Min Cheng''s face had turned rather pale. He just heard that Mortal Pill House''s Mo Wuji had just returned only wearing a different set of clothes, and without any injuries at all. This wasn''t the main issue. The main issue was that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Elder Du Hong did not return. "What do all of you think is the reason that Elder Du Hong did not return?" Although Min Cheng was questioning both Wen Li and Ran Yushui, his gaze fell on Ran Yushui alone. SIghing to himself, Ran Yushui guessed that Elder Du Hong was in trouble. However, she definitely could not bring up such a reason. If nothing had happened to Elder Du Hong while she proposed that something did happen, it would put her in an extremely bad position. "I think that Deacon Yushui''s worries were founded. It''s quite likely that Elder Du Hong was ambushed by Mo Wuji." Wen Li spoke as soon as she thought of this. When Ran Yushui saw Min Cheng staring at her, she couldn''t help but speak as well, "Mo Wuji came back within a day, and logically speaking, he wouldn''t be this fast even if he did ambush Elder Du Hong. Unless he faced Elder Du Hong head on. But Elder Du Hong is an Immortal Emperor expert. No matter how strong Mo Wuji is in Pill Dao, and even if he joins forces with Kuang Jin, they shouldn''t gain an upper hand over Elder Du Hong¡­" Ran Yushui didn''t complete her sentence. She just didn''t know how to carry on. "Then why didn''t Elder Du Hong return? What should we do now?" Min Cheng probed deeper. He didn''t know whether they should continue waiting or report this to Mifei Trade Union. Ran Yushui and Wen Li stopped speaking. They knew that they would take the fall if this incident wasn''t handled properly. If they made a report, and Du Hong was alright, they would have offended Elder Du Hong, on top of being deemed as incompetent. If Du Hong really did meet with some accident and they didn''t report it, it wouldn''t be much better for them either. "I''ll go pay that Mo Wuji a visit. Both of you follow me." Min Cheng obviously knew the severity of the situation, so he stood up to say his piece. They could find out more about Elder Du Hong''s whereabouts from Mo Wuji. ¡­ "Ha ha, House Master Mo, I''ve heard great things about you." Teng Feiyan knew that Du Hong had been killed by Mo Wuji the moment he stepped into the city hall with Lang Bi. On top of that, Mo Wuji didn''t fear him either. Otherwise, Mo Wuji wouldn''t even have made this trip. The instant that Mo Wuji entered the city hall, Teng Feiyan decided that he had to get on Mo Wuji''s good side. Regardless whether Mo Wuji was an Immortal Emperor, it wasn''t easy to have achieved that much at such a young age. Moreover, since he was going to leave the city square soon, it would be beneficial to him if he could make friends with a few more experts. What''s more, Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor too. "Mo Wuji greets Castellan Teng." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully. "Dispense with the formalities and come over here. Please take a seat." Teng Feiyan guided Mo Wuji to his seat, and took out top grade immortal spiritual wine, pouring a glass for him. After all this, Teng Feiyan stood up and downed an entire glass of wine, "I had to attend to an envoy from Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos, otherwise, I would have personally paid a visit to House Master Mo at Mortal Pill House. I''m punishing myself with this glass of wine." "I don''t deserve the honour." Mo Wuji downed his glass of wine without hesitation after finishing his sentence. Teng Feiyan was shocked. He was sure that Mo Wuji didn''t inspect the wine with spiritual will, and did not check if it was poisoned. How did Mo Wuji dare to drink his wine without checking anything? Was this an act of putting too much trust in him, or just pure overconfidence? Thinking back to Mo Wuji''s act of bringing Du Hong out of the city square, he quickly determined that Mo Wuji wasn''t overconfident, but simply did not fear being poisoned. This reinforced Teng Feiyan''s determination to befriend House Master Mo. At this moment he regretted not making a trip over to Mortal Pill House instead of inviting Mo Wuji over here. "If Brother Mo doesn''t mind, please call me Fei Wen. Fei Wen is my Emperor Title." Teng Feiyan spoke with a happy expression on his face, taking the initiative to elevate the relationship between them. Replying with a respectful bow, Mo Wuji said, "Roger. I feel very honoured to have received Brother Fei Wen''s invitation." "Ha ha¡­" Teng Feiyan chucked, evidently satisfied with Mo Wuji''s response, "Will Brother Mo be heading to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos soon?" Mo Wuji knew that many people had probably guessed that he intended to leave after earning a significant amount of money, so it wasn''t unusual for Teng Feiyan to reach this conclusion. Hence he replied immediately, "Yes, I''m getting ready to go to the Cosmos Communal Domain. I heard that business is better there." Teng Feiyan nodded in agreement, "Brother Mo is right. Cosmos Communal Domain is much more suitable for cultivation and long-term stays.Top grade treasures often appear there too. However, it''s not easy to get a shop in that gathering place of the Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos." Someone like Teng Feiyan wasn''t the kind of person Mo Wuji wanted to become a close friend with. He knew that their relationship was completely built on how strong he was, which meant this wasn''t a friend that he could rely on in tough times. After hearing Teng Feiyan''s comments, a thought popped into Mo Wuji''s head. Sometimes, one would have to make a few friends that weren''t the kind that would risk their lives for you, but instead find a few that could allow the both of you to benefit. With Teng Feiyan''s last sentence, Mo Wuji knew very clearly that he wanted to set up a relationship between them. At this point, Mo Wuji quickly stood up, and bowed respectfully once again, "Brother Fei Wen, please guide me." With a slight laugh, Teng Feiyan replied, "I don''t dare to guide you, but since we have become such good friends, I''ll have help you in one way or another. The place that I''m staying at in the Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos is called the Heaven''s Beyond Immortal Alliance. Brother Mo can look for me once you''ve reached Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos." Chapter 767: Kuang Jin Validates His Dao; Pill House Threatened Chapter 767: Kuang Jin Validates His Dao; Pill House Threatened Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as Mo Wuji returned to Mortal Pill House, Lou Si announced the visit of Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s Pavilion Head Min Cheng and his deacons Wen Li and Ran Yushui. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to instruct Lou So to reject them; he had no intentions of seeing these people. He was very clear about what their intentions were; to think that they would go so far in their investigations to directly come to him. "Pavilion Head Min, two deacons, my House Master is reaching a critical point in his cultivation. He will not be accepting any guests for the next half a month." Lou Si acknowledged Mo Wuji''s instructions, and she went to the outside of the Pill House and directly rejected Min Cheng and co. Min Cheng''s face turned green in anger. He really wanted to blow Mo Wuji''s pill house apart, but unfortunately, he didn''t dare to do so. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji might be related to Elder Du''s disappearance. Just the recent news that Mo Wuji was a guest of the City Square Castellan for half a day was already a huge deterrent for Min Cheng. "Since that''s the case, I will visit again half a month later," Min Cheng snorted coldly towards Lou Si, turned, and left. "Pavilion Head, I still think we should report to the higher-ups." When she got news that Mo Wuji had formed ties with the Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s Castellan, Wen Li started to get worried. Min Cheng went silent briefly, then he said, "Let''s wait for one more day. If we don''t receive news from Elder Du after a day, then we would immediately make the report." ¡­ At this time, Mo Wuji was furiously concocting pills. He had already succeeded in becoming a Tier 9 Pill Emperor; his speed in concocting typical pills had soared once more. Huge batches of green crystals, peak immortal herbs and smithing materials continuously flowed into Mo Wuji''s storage ring. The number of orders they were receiving was truly astronomical. Even though Mo Wuji''s pill concoction speed had increased multiple times, the number of orders continued to accumulate. Although the number of green crystals in his Undying World already exceeded 5 million, Mo Wuji knew that he could not carry on like this. Otherwise, he wouldn''t even be able to leave this place two months later. Mo Wuji stopped concocting pills and started studying the Star Sea Sacred Technique. The reason behind this was because Mo Wuji wanted to see whether his spiritual will was able to separate into different portions. If his spiritual will could split and operate independently, then he could control two pill furnaces at the same time, or maybe even more. Mo Wuji''s Immortal Mortal Technique went into reverse circulation through his meridians. As he established this path of the Mortal Dao, he formed his own dao revelation channel... Now, as he started to use his Star Sea Sacred Technique to concoct his pills, his dao revelation channel instantly kicked into action. Not only could his Star Sea Sacred Technique temper his sea of consciousness, it could also be used to formulate skills and sacred arts. Because of his dao revelation channel, Mo Wuji fell deep into the immersion of his study. He soon lost track of the passage of time. Half a month passed in a flash. During this half a month, Mo Wuji didn''t concoct a single vase of pills. Because Lou Si didn''t receive any notifications from Mo Wuji, she continued to receive orders. It was only when the number of immortals waiting outside was enough to form a mountain, did she realise that something was amiss. She no longer dared to receive any further orders. She tried to send Mo Wuji messages, but Mo Wuji didn''t respond to a single one of them. She could also feel dao energy billowing from Mo Wuji''s room. It was exactly because of this, that she didn''t dare to interrupt Mo Wuji. Interruption was the bane of both cultivation and enlightenment. If Lou Si continued accepting orders, but told those immortals that the House Master was in seclusion and that they would have to wait for a period of time, then things wouldn''t escalate. Unfortunately, Lou Si didn''t know much about the human psychology. She directly stopped accepting orders and even switched off the array which generated the queue numbers. Coupled with the fact that not a single pill was produced from Mortal Pill House for half a month, the immortals which had already handed over their green crystals started to get restless. Mortal Pill House had a conflict with Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. All of a sudden, Mortal Pill House no longer produced any pills. Could it be that the House Master of Mortal Pill House had already been eliminated by Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion? After Lou Si switched off the switch number generating array, those waiting immortals could no longer endure it any further. All the immortals that had already paid green crystals started to gather outside Mortal Pill House, hollering for the House Master of Mortal Pill House to give them an explanation. The defensive arrays were not attacked, but with more than ten thousand people forming a huge wave at the entrance, Mortal Pill House''s arrays started to tremble. Lou Si was at a loss for words. With so many people here, each of them only needed to attack once to turn Mortal Pill House into dust. "Fellow immortal friends, please be patient. Our House Master is currently researching on a new pill¡­" Bore Lou Si could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an unruly voice, "Deacon Lou, we are all here to request for pills. We don''t have any objections to House Master Mo researching on a new pill. But will the pills that we have ordered be given to us?" "That''s right. We had already paid our green crystals." "House Master Mo should at least give us an explanation." ¡­ "Boom!" At the very start, the crowd was only rambling with their words. However, towards the end, some directly started using their magic treasures to attack Mortal Pill House''s defensive array. "Wait¡­" Lou Si cried out anxiously, "our House Master is currently in secluded cultivation, he cannot be interrupted. If you are worried about the green crystals that you''ve paid, I can refund them back to you." Lou Si was clear that she had to stop people from attacking the shop. Even as she was speaking, several magic treasure lights slammed against the defensive array. The array began to vibrate violently. There were two layers of arrays around Mortal Pill House. The first layer was the pre-installed one that came from Heaven''s Beyond City Square. This array was very low grade and could be destroyed with a few simple attacks. The second layer was a Grade 7 defensive array installed by Mo Wuji himself. This array had attacking and trapping functions as well; if it was attacked, it would sweep the attacker into the array. "We have already waited for so long, who wants your refund? Even if you refund, you need to give us twice the amount. Otherwise, we want our pills." "Right, who cares about your refund." "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Lou Si''s words incited more violent attacks from the crowd. The outer layer of arrays around Mortal Pill House was already of a lower grade. With these tens of attacks landing on it simultaneously, the array emitted a violent cracking sound. The outer layer of arrays around Mortal Pill House started to disintegrate. In her anxiety, Lou Si thought of waking Mo Wuji up. That was when an overwhelming aura loomed over. At the same time, a cold snort sounded into everyone''s ears, "Who dares to cause a ruckus at my Mortal Pill House?" It felt as though the sky was collapsing; everyone felt an immense pressure fall over them; at this instant, they weren''t even able to extend their spiritual wills. Immortal Emperor expert? That''s right, this was definitely an Immortal Emperor expert. Besides an Immortal Emperor, who else could release such a terrifying pressure? "Defender Kuang¡­" Lou Si saw the cultivator that hushed the crowd and cried out in pleasant surprise. Immediately, she came to an understanding that Kuang Jin''s validation of his Dao had been successful. Kuang Jin was now a true Immortal Emperor. "Junior Sister Lou, I don''t like the title of a defender. Just call me senior brother. Exactly what''s going on?" Even though it had only been a little over a month, Kuang Jin''s way of speaking had a newfound confidence and dignity. "Congratulations Senior Brother on verifying your Dao and stepping into the Immortal Emperor Stage." Lou Si hurriedly bowed. Even though Kuang Jin behaved modestly, she, a mere Immortal King, didn''t dare to behave disrespectfully in front of an Immortal Emperor. Kuang Jin nodded. Even though it had already been more than a month since he stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage, he still found it hard to suppress that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in his heart. It was that feeling one would get when one finally saw the peak of the mountain after arduous and hard work. Lou Si hurriedly explained, "Brother Mo suddenly entered seclusion half a month ago. During this half a month, our Mortal Pill House wasn''t able to send out any pills. These people here have already paid t-shirts green crystals." Kuang Jin instantly understood what was going on. He immediately clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "Everyone, please wait. I will consult the House Master." "Wait, Senior Brother Kuang¡­" Lou Si hurriedly stopped Kuang Jin, "Big Brother Mo is currently in a state of insight. If we interrupt, I''m afraid it might affect Big Brother Mo''s enlightenment." Kuang Jin furrowed his brows slightly. Ever since he became an Immortal Emperor, he had a feeling of dignity and nobility. This was natural when one stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage. It was exactly because of that, that he did not consider why Mo Wuji had not emerged. Lou Si''s words reminded him that he was still considered Mo Wuji''s subordinate. Kuang Jin took in a deep breath. Although it wasn''t disgraceful to follow a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, he was still an Immortal Emperor. Fortunately, it was only for a Hundred years. Also, when he made his promise, it was under the condition that it would not affect his life or his Dao. If Mo Wuji infringed on that, then he could also leave. When he thought about his promise to an Immortal Reverent, and that he had to follow by the side of an Immortal Reverent, Kuang Jin felt some discomfort in his heart. However, since he had already made the promise, he, Kuang Jin, would follow it. To him, a mere hundred years was equivalent to a single secluded cultivation session. "Various immortal friends, House Master Mo is still within seclusion. Everyone, please rest assured. I believe that House Master Mo would not allow any of you to leave empty-handed. But if anyone dares to cause a ruckus here, then don''t blame me, Kuang Jin, for behaving impolitely." As he was speaking, Kuang Jin released his Immortal Emperor aura. Several cultivators, who had relatively weaker cultivations and were standing too close, directly coughed out blood under this pressure. Lou Si sighed. She didn''t understand much about Kuang Jin, but she felt that Kuang Jin''s methods were undesirable. After all, these people were here to purchase pills, and they had even paid green crystals. Kuang Jin should not have used his cultivation to place pressure on the crowd. The reason why the Mortal Pill House was about to flourish was due to its public praise and reputation. "Then what if I want to refund my green crystals?" Someone from within the crowd shouted. Which one of the cultivators here didn''t crawl out from a sea of corpses? The moment Kuang Jin revealed his aura, most of them knew that Kuang Jin was an Immortal Emperor. Now that Mortal Pill House had an Immortal Emperor, no one dared to cause any trouble. "Not possible¡­" Just as Kuang Jin said those two words, he heard Lou Si say, "Yes, it''s possible. Immortal friends that want a refund can get an additional two green crystals as a compensation. Everyone, please follow the order of your queue number." Lou Si finally sighed in relief. Just as she felt that Kuang Jin''s attitude was too overbearing, she received Mo Wuji''s transmission. Mo Wuji''s expression was calm. He had just come out with a new sacred art. It was a method of spirit splitting technique. This allows one''s spiritual will to split into two. Each spiritual will could independently concoct a batch of pills. Not only that, the split spiritual wills could even simultaneously control two different sacred arts. However, at this instant, he wasn''t happy. He had seen Kuang Jin''s attitude. Now that Kuang Jin had advanced to the Immortal Emperor stage, he probably felt that he got the short end of the bargain by following Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji originally wanted to depend on Kuang Jin to stay here for another month. But now, Mo Wuji decided to change his plans. After settling these orders, he would immediately leave the city square. Chapter 768: Preparing For Battle Chapter 768: Preparing For Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Now that Mortal Pill House had an Immortal Emperor, no one dared to cause a ruckus. Coupled with Lou Si''s decision to allow refunds, with each person being reimbursed with two additional green crystals, naturally, no one expressed any dissent. In a short time, the crowd queued up in order. They handed over their queue numbers and collected their green crystals. However, there was still a portion of immortals who were willing to wait, instead of having their queue fees refunded. To them, ten green crystals were nothing compared to the opportunity of having a Tier 8 Pill Emperor concoct pills for them. "Kuang Jin greets the House Master. Many thanks to the House Master for helping me in my validation of my Dao, allowing me to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage." Kuang Jin walked to the entrance of Mo Wuji''s pill room and announced emotionally. Mo Wuji smiled, "Congratulations Immortal Friend Kuang. I will still need to continue concocting pills for a period of time. During this time, I seek Immortal Friend Kuang''s help in taking care of Mortal Pill House." "House master, rest assured. As long as Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion doesn''t send an intermediate or late stage Immortal Emperor, I, Kuang Jin, will ensure that not even a single blade of grass at the entrance of our Mortal Pill House would be damaged," Kuang Jin said loudly; his voice was filled with immense self-confidence. He also believed that Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion wouldn''t send late stage Immortal Emperors. "Alright, then I will have to trouble Immortal Friend Kuang." With that, Mo Wuji didn''t speak any further. Originally, Mo Wuji intended to offer Kuang Jin some Tier 9 pills to stabilise his cultivation. However, Mo Wuji no longer had such intentions. Kuang Jin wasn''t a person that he could recruit into Ping Fan. Mo Wuji could tell from the way Kuang Jin behaved and spoke. When Kuang Jin returned, he didn''t ask Lou Si anything about what Mo Wuji was doing before he directly came to Mo Wuji''s pill room. Even Lou Si, an Immortal King, knew about the importance of the lack of interruption during a secluded cultivation session. How could Kuang Jin not know about it? His actions were not necessarily intentionally; it was because he had just entered into the Immortal Emperor Stage and his feelings were as high as the clouds. Perhaps, in his subconsciousness, Kuang Jin might have started viewing anyone below the Immortal Emperor Stage as ants. Perhaps it was because Kuang Jin had been suppressed for too long, or because Kuang Jin''s self-confidence over-inflated since his advancement into the Immortal Emperor Stage; this man no longer wanted to be subordinate to anyone. Mo Wuji didn''t need such a person. Mo Wuji also knew that it was his fault. Not every Immortal Emperor was like those that escaped from Sword Prison. The Immortal Emperors from Sword Prison, whether it was Wei Zidao, Nie Chongan or Jian Mingcheng, were all people that helplessly danced on the borders of death. Because of their experience, they knew that an ordinary Immortal Emperor was nothing special Kuang Jin could tell that Mo Wuji''s tone was rather cold. He did not mind, however. To him, a hundred years was merely a blink. If this was before he advanced into the Immortal Emperor Stage, there was no need to talk about a hundred years, even if it was ten thousand years, he would have accepted it for the True Emperor Pill. But now, he assessed that his value wasn''t the same as Immortal Reverent Kuang Jin; it was now the value of an Immortal Emperor Kuang Jin. The thousands of immortals that wanted their refunds soon received their immortal crystals and departed from Mortal Pill House. The cultivators that continued to wait received better news: House Master Mo was restarting the concoction of pills. As a vase of immortal pills got brought out, these immortals felt incomparably elated. When the immortals that received their refunds saw this scene, they were all filled with regrets. They all tried to pay some green crystals to enter the queue. Unfortunately, they received news which left them wallowing in their regrets: Mortal Pill House was no longer accepting any new orders. If not for the Immortal Emperor here, those cultivators that received their refunds might even have started a riot. In a few short days, Mo Wuji completed all the orders. After which, he resolutely stopped concocting pills. Now, he had countless of high-grade immortal herbs, as well as close to seven million green crystals. With so much cultivation resources, what he needed to do now wasn''t to help others concoct pills, but to raise his own capabilities. "Big Brother Mo, are we going to the Cosmos Communal Domain?" Lou Si asked excitedly when she saw Mo Wuji emerge from his room. Kuang Jin also looked at Mo Wuji eagerly. He knew that Mo Wuji had loads of green crystals on him. If Mo Wuji gave him just 20% of the green crystals, then he would be able to fully stabilise his cultivation at the early Immortal Emperor Stage. Mo Wuji was just about to speak when the communication bead on his wrist started to glow. "Big Brother Mo, is something the matter?" Lou Si was very observant. She noticed that Mo Wuji''s face changed when he saw the message. "Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion has sent three Immortal Emperors: one late stage, one intermediate stage and one early stage," Mo Wuji''s tone was slightly gloomy. Kuang Jin''s heart started racing. After validating his Dao, his self-confidence expanded greatly. However, he was not an idiot. Even if he was any stronger, he wouldn''t be a match for a single one of these three Immortal Emperors. He had just advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage. There was no need to talk about the late and intermediate stage Immortal Emperors; even the early stage Immortal Emperor was not someone he could deal with. Would Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion send a simple Immortal Emperor here? "House Master, what should we do now?" Kuang Jin looked towards Mo Wuji worriedly. He was afraid that Mo Wuji didn''t know exactly how strong an Immortal Emperor was, and that Mo Wuji would try to use this killing array to deal with them. "What do the two of you think?" Mo Wuji didn''t directly answer the question. He was also slightly confused; this response by Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion seemed to be too fast. Kuang Jin said solemnly, "Mifei Trade Union is very powerful. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been able to set up a foothold in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. This time, they sent three Immortal Emperors. I feel that we should leave the city square as soon as possible." In Kuang Jin''s perspective, it would already be pretty amazing for Mifei Trade Union to send two ordinary Immortal Emperors. He truly didn''t expect that Mifei Trade Union would send three Immortal Emperors at one go, and there was even a late stage Immortal Emperor among them. This was because he didn''t know Mo Wuji had already killed an Immortal Emperor from Mifei Trade Union. Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. If they left the city square, and if he was truly an ordinary Immortal Reverent, then it would be equivalent to a dead end for Lou Si and him. Kuang Jin was an Immortal Emperor, so he would be able to escape off on his own. Mo Wuji did not believe that Kuang Jin would stay with the two of them and try to protect them. He believed that Kuang Jin did not know of him killing an Immortal Emperor from Mifei Trade Union; Kuang Jin might not even know that he befriended Teng Feiyan. Otherwise, Kuang Jin wouldn''t behave so arrogantly in front of him. Lou Si didn''t say a word. She knew that even if she stayed or fled, she was basically an existence equivalent to cannon fodder. Mo Wuji retrieved a storage ring and handed it to Lou Si, "Lou Si, bring this and find Castellan Teng Feiyan." "House Master, you''re looking to the Castellan for help?" Kuang Jin asked in shock. He was sure that Mo Wuji''s plan would definitely fail; Teng Feiyan definitely wouldn''t step into such dirty waters. Lou Si received the ring. She looked at Mo Wuji worriedly and said, "Big Brother Mo, I''m afraid this is not possible. Even if you give these things to him, it''s probably¡­" Lou Si didn''t continue any further; both Mo Wuji and Kuang Jin could understand the meaning behind her words. She was implying that even if they gave everything in the ring to the City Hall''s Castellan, it would not be enough to move Teng Feiyan. "Just bring it over," Mo Wuji said simply. Thereafter, he transmitted a message to Lou Si, "There are two jade letters in the storage ring. One is for you, while the other is for Teng Feiyan. Take a look at your jade letter before heading to the City Hall." "Yes." When Lou Si heard Mo Wuji''s transmission, she immediately responded and promptly sped out of the pill house. She did not believe that Mo Wuji would try to harm her. The moment Lou Si left, Mo Wuji immediately retrieved some array flags and threw them out. "House Master, we''re going to stay here to fight with those three Immortal Emperors?" Seeing Mo Wuji install the array flags, how could Kuang Jin not know what was on Mo Wuji''s mind? He asked that question in shock. "Right. When they come, I will be in charge of controlling the array. Listen to my instructions. You can rest assured. Even if we aren''t a match for them, we would be able to escape," Mo Wuji said solemnly. The instant he heard Mo Wuji''s tone, Kuang Jin knew that Mo Wuji was firm with his decision. He sighed. Fortunately, he had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage. If they weren''t able to deal with their opponents, he would still be able to escape. When he made his promise, he said that he would no longer keep his promise if his life was in danger. Mo Wuji had not stepped into the Emperor Stage, so he wouldn''t know about the strength of an Immortal Emperor, what more a late stage one? .... With her fastest speed, Lou Si charged out Mortal Pill House, then she sent her spiritual will into the storage ring. There was a mountain of green crystals within the ring, approximately 100-200 thousand of them. There were also ten jade vases and some jade letters labelled "Sacred Arts and Skills". Lou Si had depended entirely on herself for cultivation. Ever since she started helping Mo Wuji, she hadn''t even cultivation, nor did she have any cultivation resources. Now, with so much cultivation resources placed in front of her, her heart could not help but pound furiously. What she worked so hard to earn in her entire life was not even a fraction of what was in front of her. However, she was very clear that these cultivation resources weren''t for her; they should be for Castellan Teng Feiyan. Previously, Mo Wuji had saved her twice. Regardless whether the Castellan helped them or not, she would deliver these items. Thereafter, Lou Si took out the jade letter that Mo Wuji wrote her. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will imprint on the jade letter wrote: "Lou Si, many thanks for the help you''ve provided me. The cultivation resources in this ring are for you, not for anyone else. According to my original plans, I intend to bring you to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos after I finish concocting the pills. However, our current opponents are too strong; it would be hard for me to protect myself. If we flee immediately, I might not be able to take care of you. Thus, I had you first go to the City Hall. I have some ties with Castellan Teng. He would soon be heading to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos. I believe that he would bring you over." Mo Wuji was also very helpless. If there were only two Immortal Emperors, perhaps he could have gotten Lou Si to stay. But now there were three Immortal Emperors. He was only an early stage Immortal Reverent, while Kuang Jin wasn''t willing to fight with his life on the line. If they weren''t a match for the three Immortal Emperors, he would flee towards the desert wasteland. That''s why it would be hard for him to protect Lou Si. Teng Feiyan was a Castellan. Now that they had some ties, Mo Wuji believed that Teng Feiyan would be willing to help with such a favour. It wasn''t much trouble for the City Square''s Castellan to bring Lou Si to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos. This casual action would earn a favour from Mo Wuji. Unless Teng Feiyan''s previous invitation was false, Mo Wuji believed that this definitely wasn''t a problem. Moreover, the one that told him the news about the three Immortal Emperors was exactly Teng Feiyan. Lou Si kept the jade letter with a blank expression on her face. She just realised that the mountain of cultivation resources was hers. Previously, Big Brother Mo did say that he would leave a portion of cultivation resources for her. However, Lou Si would never have expected such an extravagant amount. Chapter 769: One Versus Three Chapter 769: One Versus Three Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Pavilion Head Min Cheng, Wen Li and Ran Yushui were standing respectfully by the side. Sitting at the central position were two men and one woman. The one at the centre of the three was a man with triangle shaped eyes. His age was not discernible; he had ashy red hair; his aura was surging, and there seemed to be an indescribable dao energy revolving around him. On this red-haired man''s left was a middle-aged woman who simply looked average, while on his right was a slightly pudgy old man. Min Cheng stood by the side, his heart was palpitating in unrest. Wen Li and Ran Yushui only knew these three as Immortal Emperors from Mifei Trade Union. He, however, knew more. This was especially so for the ashy-red-haired man in the centre. His name was Ou Zhaohe, and he was reputed to have an explosive temper. If you behave against his wishes, then there was only death for you. His cultivation was the strongest among the three; he was in the late Immortal Emperor Stage. Min Cheng had once heard that Ou Zhaohe once explored a ruins with a long-time friend. However, because they didn''t agree with how they were going to split the treasures, Ou Zhaohe directly killed that friend. Because of that incident, everyone knew that this man was ruthless. Within Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos, the number of immortals killed by him was more than one''s hands could count. That middle-aged woman was second among the three; she was an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. Min Cheng only knew this woman''s name was Ling Rong. Back then, to validate her dao, she killed everyone that she had close ties with. Don''t simply look at her sunken eyes and her innocuous appearance, this woman was a devil who would be willing to do anything in her pursuit of cultivation. Min Cheng only wasn''t very familiar with that pudgy old man; he only knew that the old man''s name was De Pingsha. "You''re sure that after Du Hong left the city square with Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji returned by himself half a day later?" The one speaking was Ou Zhaohe. Min Cheng hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Answering the Elder. That''s exactly the case. Ou Zhaohe nodded, then he stood up, "Let''s go. I want to see how many heads and arms does this Mo Wuji have. To think he actually ambushed an Immortal Emperor of my Mifei Trade Union." Ou Zhaohe was clearly the leader among the three Immortal Emperors. With Ou Zhaohe standing up, the other two also followed suit. "Three Elders, that Kuang Jin is already an Immortal Emperor." Ran Yushui''s cultivation was the lowest. Originally, she didn''t have the rights to talk. But when she saw Elder Ou completely disregarding Mo Wuji, she could not help but say that sentence. Back then, Du Hong also underestimated Mo Wuji. As a result, it was still unknown whether Du Hong was alive or not. "Only a living Immortal Emperor is a true Immortal Emperor." Ou Zhaohe''s voice was icy cold. There was no need to talk about a mere early stage Immortal Emperor. Even if he was facing another late-stage Immortal Emperor, he, Ou Zhaohe, had nothing to fear. ¡­ "House Master, I''m worried that the two of us might not be able to hold for long." Kuang Jin''s worry could be heard in his voice. If Mo Wuji decided to go through with this, there might be a possibility that they could be trapped and that he wouldn''t be able to escape. He, Kuang Jin, did indeed promise to serve Mo Wuji for a hundred years, but he didn''t promise to sell his life. Mo Wuji handed an array flag to Kuang Jin and said, "Immortal Friend Kuang, I installed all the arrays around here. Even if we aren''t able to match them, we still have a chance to escape. That array flag is the Life Gate Flag. If a threat arises, you can throw that flag and escape from the Life Gate. Facing three Immortal Emperors, Mo Wuji couldn''t ensure that he would have the chance to remind Kuang Jin to flee. If the case really called for it, he didn''t want to obstruct Kuang Jin''s escape. It was true that he had battled several Grand Emperors before; however, those sorts of battles were meaningless to him. This was because he didn''t even have a chance to resist. "Alright." Kuang Jin accepted Mo Wuji''s array flag and heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Mo Wuji continue to install various array flags, Kuang Jin had to initiate the question, "House Master, are you able to lend me some green crystals. I had only just advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage and I haven''t properly stabilized my cultivation." "Of course I can¡­" Just as Mo Wuji uttered those four words, the outer layer of arrays trembled loudly. Kuang Jin looked at Mo Wuji anxiously. How could Mo Wuji not know what this fella was thinking? This fella was waiting for him to hand over the cultivation resources. Mo Wuji laughed ruefully in his heart. This fella took his True Emperor Pill and hadn''t done anything for him, now this fella wants green crystals too? Moreover, even if Mo Wuji was to give Kuang Jin some green crystals, it should be Mo Wuji that raised the matter; it was not something that Kuang Jin should take the initiative to suggest. Back when he recruited Kuang Jin, he didn''t say anything about providing Kuang Jin with cultivation resources; he only said that he would help Kuang Jin step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. As long as Kuang Jin helps him wholeheartedly, would he treat Kuang Jin unfairly? "Immortal Friend Kuang Jin, focus your attack on my red array flag." As Mo Wuji instructed, he had already thrown out multiple array flags, one of them was a red array flag. In reality, when Mo Wuji said those four words, he already knew that Mifei Trade Union''s Immortal Emperors had already arrived. Since he had already eliminated an Immortal Emperor from Mifei Trade Union, he guessed that these Immortal Emperors would not bother negotiating with him, but directly attack him. The truth revealed that his guess was right. That late stage Immortal Emperor directly attacked his outer layer of arrays. "This trap array''s grade is not low¡­" The moment Ou Zhaohe attacked, Ling Rong muttered in shock. She, herself, was knowledgeable in arrays. She was a Grade 5 Immortal Array Master. Ou Zhaohe sneered, "So what if there''s a trap array? A mere ant also wants to use a trap array¡­" Ou Zhaohe''s voice stopped abruptly. He discovered that his position had suddenly changed. He was surrounded by a hazy mist and there was faint killing intent flowing all around him. "This is a Grade 7 killing array. Everyone, follow me and attack the same spot. We will reorganise ourselves after we get out¡­" Ou Zhaohe''s face had already turned unsightly. Previously, he was sure that Mo Wuji wasn''t a high-grade array master. Mo Wuji was an Immortal Reverent, a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, and it was even said that Mo Wuji''s age was not big. Even if Mo Wuji was an even greater genius, he couldn''t be both an array master and a Pill Emperor at the same time. This was because an array master was a profession that requires much time. Without years of accumulated experience, it was hard for an array master to advance in grade. It was even harder than being a pill refiner. This was especially so for Grade 7 and above. Arrays of these grades required countless complex dao energy and peak grade materials. They even required the overlay of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Even if it was an Immortal Emperor that wanted to become a Grade 7 array master, he would require years of experience, and at the same time, he would need to have greater insights to the Dao than an average person. For these three people, any arrays below Grade 7 were simply dismissable. However, this array in front of them was exactly a Grade 7 killing array. This was out of their expectations. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The three attacked at the same spot simultaneously. The entire space around them began to resound with violent tremors. Before the three could react, a fire-red radiant blade came slashing towards them. "This is not right. This isn''t merely a killing array; it is also a trap array and an illusion array¡­" Ling Rong was a Grade 5 Immortal Array Master. Even though she was unable to install a Grade 7 array, she did know about it. Even if Ling Rong didn''t mention it, Ou Zhaohe also knew that this array was not simple. The Mysterious Yang Seal within his hand transformed into a huge mountain and it came crashing out. "Kacha!" A light, crisp sound could be heard. Kuang Jin''s heart tightened. Before he could see what caused that sound, a mountain-like seal came crashing towards his Ba Gua Flame Blade. "Pff!" Kuang Jin coughed fresh blood out on the spot. Before Mo Wuji could hand him healing pills, he threw out the array flag in his hand. A bright light appeared; Kuang Jin dashed towards the light and disappeared without a trace. In merely a single move, he was injured. Moreover, from that immortal elemental energy rebound that he received, he could tell that his opponent was definitely far stronger than him. Kuang Jin was sure that if he continued staying here, he would simply be waiting for his death. Moreover, he had just heard a crisp cracking sound. Why would Kuang Jin dare to stay any longer? That cracking sound was clearly the sound of this array breaking. This matter would threaten his life. He, Kuang Jin, only offered to help Mo Wuji for hundred years. He did not sell his life to Mo Wuji. When Kuang Jin fled, ten radiant blades from the killing array sped towards Ou Zhaohe. Deep bloodied scars lacerated across Ou Zhaohe''s body. Ou Zhaohe hurriedly retreated. At this instant, Mo Wuji''s face turned green in anger. He knew that Kuang Jin would definitely flee. However, he didn''t expect that Kuang Jin would flee before the battle even started proper. If Kuang Jin had stayed, he would definitely have maimed Ou Zhaohe. Unfortunately, the truth remains that Kuang Jin had fled. He could only slash out with his own Half Moon Weighted Halberd. This was Mo Wuji''s own killing array, but even he didn''t dare to attack with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd in a wanton manner. If Kuang Jin was the one to attack, he would be there to control the array flags. But now that Kuang Jin had fled, he couldn''t control the killing array as he attacked. This caused a huge fall in efficacy. "Boom!" The halberd light descended heavily on Ou Zhaohe''s Mysterious Black Seal. However, it only caused some superficial injuries on Ou Zhaohe''s body. "Go all out. That Immortal Emperor has escaped." The moment Kuang Jin left, Ling Rong detected it. Her Pure Yin Ribbon transformed into rings which tried to wrap around Mo Wuji. De Pingsha also didn''t miss this opportunity; his Shadow Spirit Claw slashed outwards. Mo Wuji''s heart sunk. He threw another array flag out. The array in front of them changed once more; this time, boundless lightning came descending towards the three Immortal Emperors. Fortunately, this was his own array. If it wasn''t, Mo Wuji could only flee at this moment. He suddenly felt a huge pressure in the space around him. Thereafter, Mo Wuji saw ring shadows coming towards to him. Before he could dodge, the Shadow Spirit Claw ripped a hole in his chest. Mo Wuji howled loudly. He knew that he could only defend himself. Today, there was no need to talk about killing; it was going to be a problem for him to even flee. Chapter 770: Crazy Battle Method Chapter 770: Crazy Battle Method Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Within the array, Mo Wuji shot out a Yin Yang Seal. At the same time, he threw out ten array flags. A deathly energy instantly swept across this space. "What sacred art is this?" Ou Zhaohe looked at the space in front of him in aghast. He even forgot that his Mysterious Yang Seal had already injured Mo Wuji. The space in front of him had turned greyish-white; one side was life and the other was death. The greyish-white started to revolve; he felt like his life was tied in the revolving wheel of life and death. At any instant, his life could get sucked away by that death energy, but at the same time, he could also see a path of life within that greyish whiteness. Ling Rong and De Pingsha didn¡¯t sense the space of life and death. However, they did feel a terrifying and threatening aura. It felt like the space around them was going to break apart at the very next instant. If they could leave, they would have already have fled. Even De Pingsha, who just injured Mo Wuji was his claw, frantically retrieved his attack-type treasure and brought out a defensive-type clock. As long as they weren¡¯t fools, they would know that Mo Wuji was trying to pit his life on the line. This was the self-explosion of a Grade 7 immortal array, and multiple joined Grade 7 immortal arrays at that. If there was a choice, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn¡¯t have chosen to detonate his Grade 7 immortal arrays. This was a series of arrays; even though his physique was at God Physique Level 7, he might not necessarily be able to defend it. As for hiding in his own world, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to attempt it. His world wasn¡¯t even perfected. Facing the self-explosion of Grade 7 immortal arrays, he wasn¡¯t sure that his world would be able to withstand it. He also didn¡¯t want to try. His world could only be formed once. If his world was destroyed, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to recreate another world. Even if he could recreate another world, Mo Wuji still wouldn¡¯t want to try it. All his goodies were in his Undying World; if it was destroyed, he would have to start over from the beginning. If he must dodge this self-explosion of this chain of Grade 7 immortal arrays, it was not as though he didn¡¯t have any methods; he had his page of the Book of Luo. However, he couldn¡¯t dodge. He was sure that this chain explosion definitely wouldn¡¯t kill the three Immortal Emperors. If he wanted to get rid of these fellas, he needed to attack during the explosion. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be any meaning in the self-explosion. Even if he had the Book of Luo to protect himself, he couldn¡¯t hide in the Book of Luo forever. It was exactly because Ou Zhaohe¡¯s threat was the largest, Mo Wuji decided to use his Wheel of Life and Death on Ou Zhaohe as he started to detonate his killing array. As the Wheel of Life and Death enveloped Ou Zhaohe, Ou Zhaohe also brought out a defensive-type treasure. His Mysterious Yang Seal also fiercely stamped towards Mo Wuji. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The connected chain of Grade 7 immortal arrays exploded. A terrifying blast was swept up! Also at this instant, the Wheel of Life and Death locked onto Ou Zhaohe; Ou Zhaohe¡¯s life force was rapidly being sucked away. At this point, Ou Zhaohe realised that he had committed a stupid mistake. Just now, he should not have attacked Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s Wheel of Life and Death was clearly a sacred art that resulted in one life and one death. If he didn¡¯t have the capability to eliminate Mo Wuji, he should have focused on defending himself. If he defended himself, Mo Wuji would suffer the rebound of his own sacred art. With Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities, coupled with the self-explosion of the arrays, it was clearly not possible for him to eliminate Mo Wuji. The best option for him was to strengthen his defences. However, he diverted a portion of his attention to attack Mo Wuji. If this was not stupid, then what was? Space started to tremble; there were even minute spatial tears being torn open. Mo Wuji was a peak grade Grade 7 Immortal Array Master, and he was controlling the explosion from within the array itself, and it was even the explosion of a chain of Grade 7 immortal arrays. Thus, the threat of this explosion was even stronger than an average Grade 8 immortal array. Ou Zhaohe was Mo Wuji¡¯s first target. During the process of the explosion, Mo Wuji even used his Wheel of Life and Death on Ou Zhaohe. As Ou Zhaohe¡¯s life force was rapidly being sucked away, the explosion came. "Kacha!" Ou Zhaohe¡¯s Mysterious Yang Seal landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s Book of Luo. The Book of Luo had not been completely refined, so when it was struck by Ou Zhaohe¡¯s Mysterious Yang Seal, a tiny fracture actually appeared on it. A boundless explosive force came surging towards Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth open and an arrow of blood shot out; his bones began to shatter inch by inch. If it was any other random immortal, he would have immediately activated his Book of Luo to place the self-explosion of the arrays outside of his defences. However, Mo Wuji actually charged out of the Book of Luo¡¯s defences. As the deathly energy from the Wheel of Life and Death and the destructive power of the self-explosion reaped away at Mo Wuji¡¯s life force, Mo Wuji still continued to punch outwards. When Mo Wuji gained enlightenment on the Wheel of Life and Death, his cultivation was very low. Even though he had continued to receive further insights, his Wheel of Life and Death was still not perfected. Against Ou Zhaohe, who had a vastly higher cultivation than him, the deathly energy of the Wheel of Life and Death began to rebound back against him. This was despite the fact that Ou Zhaohe had tried to attack him. If Ou Zhaohe didn¡¯t, then he, Mo Wuji, would have been dead the moment his Wheel of Life and Death came into presence. Even if he had his vitality channel, it wouldn¡¯t have been enough to save him. Ou Zhaohe had promptly brought out a defensive treasure, and the grade of his defensive treasure was not low either. However, under the self-explosion of Mo Wuji¡¯s arrays, his treasure still broke apart. At this time, his bones were also being shattered inch by inch. Ou Zhaohe knew that he no longer had the ability to attack. Still, Ou Zhaehe sighed in relief; he knew that his life was preserved. Because he had managed to defend against the deathly intent sucking away at his life force; his life force wasn¡¯t depleting at the same terrifying rate as before. At the same time, he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s Book of Luo. His heart only began to burn with greater fervour. To even have a treasure like the Book of Luo. From the looks of it, he didn¡¯t lose out by being sent to Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. In his eyes, under this sort of explosion, Mo Wuji would definitely hide inside the Book of Luo. After this sacred art and this self-explosion fully ended, he would immediately eliminate Mo Wuji and steal all his treasures. Ou Zhaohe¡¯s thoughts only got to this point. He suddenly felt a terrifying burst of immortal elemental energy rushing towards him. Moreover, he still hadn¡¯t retrieved his Mysterious Yang Seal yet; his defensive treasure had just been destroyed and he hadn¡¯t recovered from his injuries. That was when he saw Mo Wuji keeping the Book of Luo, and looking like a man of blood, Mo Wuji¡¯s fist came towards him. The force of the self-explosion continuously tore away flesh from Mo Wuji¡¯s body. However, the killing intent within Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes left Ou Zhaohe shaking in fear. Was this a madman? Under the self-explosion of a chain of Grade 7 immortal arrays, he actually chose to keep his defensive treasure, the Book of Luo? Just give him one breath¡¯s time. He only needed one breath of time and he could seal the deathly energy from the Wheel of Life and Death, then counterattack Mo Wuji. Unfortunately, there was no need to talk about one breath; Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even give him half a breath. At this point, the Domain Crushing Fist had already shattered his already-broken domain and landed on his body. "Kacha!" Ou Zhaohe could clearly hear the sound of his body crumbling. A hint of despair flashed across his eyes. If he knew that he was going to be killed by a puny Immortal Reverent, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have come to this place. Even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t have gotten himself trapped in this array. At this instant, he completely understood why Du hong didn¡¯t return. It was because Du Hong had already been killed by this person. He also understood why Mo Wuji dared to keep his Book of Luo. This person was definitely a physique temperer with a late stage God Physique. Why would a late stage God Physique holder not have cultivation resources? Why would he actually hide in a place like this and open a shop? This madman¡­ "Let me go, I have some words to say¡­" Ou Zhaohe¡¯s body completely collapsed and a primordial spirit appeared. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even mutter half a word. A lightning spear shot out and Ou Zhaohe¡¯s primordial spirit was completely burnt. At the same instant, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stop to pick up the storage ring on the floor. Instead, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd came slashing towards Ling Rong. According to Mo Wuji¡¯s plan, he would immediately eliminate the early stage Immortal Emperor De Pingsha after Ou Zhaohe. However, while De Pingsha had a lower cultivation, his defensive treasure was better than Ling Rong¡¯s. Even though the explosion of the Grade 7 immortal arrays destroyed his defensive treasure, he only received heavy injuries. Thereafter, he charged out of the exploding array and activated his escape art. He had disappeared without a trace. Mo Wuji also heaved a sigh of relief. If De Pingsha didn¡¯t flee, he, Mo Wuji, definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to act against Ling Rong. However, he also knew whey De Pingsha would choose to flee. It was because just as De Pingsha struggled free from the exploding array, he saw Mo Wuji killing Ou Zhaohe with a single punch. De Pingsha had been shocked into fear. Since De Pingsha had already escaped, Mo Wuji naturally attacked Ling Rong. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to flee, but that he was worried that he couldn¡¯t flee. At this instant, his body was heavily injured. If he chose to flee, he would definitely be found by this intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. This place was the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor; he did not think that he was more familiar than his opponent regarding its geography. More importantly, he still had a storage ring which he hadn¡¯t pick up. This was the ring of a late stage Immortal Emperor in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. He was sure that the things inside wouldn¡¯t be bad. Additionally, Lou Si hadn¡¯t left the city square yet. If he fled, who knows whether Teng Feiyan might choose to turn against him and offer Lou Si to this woman? His only choice was to triumph in battle. Even if he didn¡¯t see Teng Feiyan, Teng Feiyan would fear him. "Pff!" Ling Rong¡¯s defensive treasure had been exploded by the array¡¯s destruction; she opened her mouth and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Even though she was an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor, her physique wasn¡¯t as freakish as Mo Wuji¡¯s. As the array exploded, she was injured heavily. Fortunately, the power from the self-explosion started to wane. Before she could even catch her breath, Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Weighted Halberd came descending down. Ling Rong cursed in her heart. If De Pingsha hadn¡¯t fled, she was sure that they would be able to get rid of Mo Wuji. It was because Mo Wuji was also heavily injured; she could see it clearly. However, the truth remains that De Pingsha had fled, leaving her to fend against Mo Wuji by herself. An immense halberd light came cleaving downwards; Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain also wrapped around Ling Rong fiercely. If this was before, Mo Wuji would have some apprehensions in his attacks. He wouldn¡¯t want to damage Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square territory. But now, it was the Immortal Emperors from Mifei Trade Union that initiated the attack. He no longer had any reason to be reserved. As for whether the other shops would be destroyed by his halberd light, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t give a sh*t about that. These other shops have always been trying to strike him when he¡¯s down, why would he need to care about them? He also wasn¡¯t afraid that the city hall would find him for trouble. If the city hall was to find someone to blame, it should be Mifei Trade Union. Chapter 771: Destruction Of The City Square Chapter 771: Destruction Of The City Square Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Courting death!" Ling Rong shrilled. She ignored that all her clothes had already been ripped to shreds as the Pure Yin Ribbon in her hand transformed into a space of cold Yin. She wanted to seal Mo Wuji within her space, capture him, then tear his body inch by inch and burn his soul bit by bit. "Bang!" The Half Moon Weighted Halberd¡¯s lofty halberd light slammed against the cold Yin space. The halberd light tore a hole in the space, but this hole was soon mended. Ling Rong coughed out a mouthful of vital blood, and her Pure Yin Ribbon suddenly exploded and transformed into millions of tiny Yin threads. This threads disregarded Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool array as they rapidly tried to wrap the space around Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart went cold. He was currently heavily injured, his cultivation was far from Ling Rong¡¯s, and the explosion from the arrays had already dissipated. Logically, this woman only needed to stabilise herself and she would be able to trap him. He didn¡¯t expect that this woman would actually burn her vital blood just to deal with him. Not only was she cautious, she was also relentless. An overwhelming sense of danger came to him. Mo Wuji had a premonition that if his opponent¡¯s Yin threads penetrated into his body, even if it was only one, he would die. Now, his opponent¡¯s millions of Yin threads had already started to wrap around his domain. If he didn¡¯t do anything, he would definitely fall into this woman¡¯s hands. This woman was even crazier than him; it was best if he fled for now. Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed as he tried to escape. Back when he was in the cultivation world, he already had an understanding towards Spatial Teleportation. Now that he was an Immortal Reverent, his insights only got even more profound. However, Mo Wuji was soon dumbfounded. The space around him had actually been sealed by those boundless Yin threads. His whirlpool domain wasn¡¯t the only thing being melted, the Yin energy seemed to even melt the Laws of Space around this area. Mo Wuji could no longer try to teleport. At this instant, Mo Wuji also ignited his life force and his longevity. His skin instantly turned old and his hair turned grey. His endless killing intent and halberd light merged to form a deathly pale sun. Those boundless Yin threads began to rapidly melt. Sacred Art - Setting Sun! After Mo Wuji advanced to the Immortal King Stage, he understood why the Setting Sun wasn¡¯t as powerful as he had imagined. There wasn¡¯t anything wrong with the sacred art itself, but that his immortal elemental energy wasn¡¯t sufficient and he didn¡¯t spend enough time understanding it. At this instant, he ignited his longevity and his vital blood. His time began to burn and his immortal elemental energy instantly condensed. The Setting Sun appeared, and on the spot, it began to melt Ling Rong¡¯s Yin threads. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s Setting Sun hadn¡¯t reached the intent-level, the merger of Mo Wuji¡¯s rapidly vanishing time and the incomplete sun was able to create a beautiful but deadly dao will. Ling Rong started to get flustered. She seemed to see a future where she was no longer able to reach higher levels and she was at the ends of her longevity; she saw the emotions which she believed she had severed. Ultimately, she was still unable to avoid the corrosion of time, and she was unable to validate her Emotionless Dao. Under that beautiful setting sun, no matter how determined she was, no matter how resolute she was, she was still just another speck of dust. This was a sacred art which burned one¡¯s time; she was grossly unable to defend against it. She had already been crazy with her methods, but this Mo Wuji was even crazier than her. Hurry and flee! Ling Rong no longer cared about killing Mo Wuji. Her Pure Yin Ribbon re-condensed as she tried to forcefully open a path of retreat. Mo Wuji¡¯s hair continued to turn increasingly white and his body withered increasingly. It was as though he didn¡¯t notice Ling Rong¡¯s Pure Yin Ribbon ripping a passage under his Setting Sun¡¯s domain. He even closed his eyes as he casually formed a seal of the Wheel of Life and Death. The seal descended, trapping Ling Rong. The Wheel of Life and Death; one lives and one dies. At this instant, Ling Rong knew that she shouldn¡¯t have tried to escape. She should have pitted her life against Mo Wuji. She could sense that Mo Wuji¡¯s Wheel of Life and Death wasn¡¯t perfect. If she hadn¡¯t tried to flee, she could have caused the Wheel of Life and Death to rebound against Mo Wuji. Unfortunately, in this sort of battle, even the smallest of mistakes could not be compensated. A fierce expression flashed across Ling Rong¡¯s face. At this instant, she didn¡¯t try to defend against the Setting Sun, nor did she try to prevent that seal of life and death which continued to extract her life force. Instead, she gathered her immortal elemental energy and also started burning her life force. Death energy instantly filled the air. Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and his withered and pale face turned even whiter. He didn¡¯t expect that this woman would actually stay behind and even attempt to self-explode. Was this mad woman learning from him? Logically, if this woman fled, he might not necessarily be able to retain her primordial spirit. At this point, how could Mo Wuji dare to waste even a single breath of time? He didn¡¯t even have time to bring out his Book of Luo? He hurriedly picked up the storage ring on the floor and prepared to use his Wind Escape Technique. This woman could explode by herself; he was not going to accompany her to the grave. "Boom!" Mortal Pill House exploded; everything was completely torn apart. The shop was destroyed thoroughly. Some of the spectators who were too close were directly burned to death. With the naked eye, one could see the rate of destruction. The destruction was still spreading. The self-destruction of an Immortal Emperor was enough to destroy planets with relatively weaker Laws. Countless of immortals tried to flee. However, there were large amounts of them with lower cultivations who weren¡¯t able to escape in time; they were all swept up in the self-explosion of an Immortal Emperor. Immediately after, Teng Feiyan, who was spectating from afar, came to visit the huge ditch formed during the battle. He had an unsightly expression on his face as he looked at this deep gorge; his heart was filled with shock and coldness. Ever since Mo Wuji sent Lou Si to him, he had been spectating the battle from afar. He saw it all. Mo Wuji¡¯s activation of the trap array which trapped the three Immortal Emperors, Kuang Jin¡¯s escape, Mo Wuji¡¯s self-explosion of his arrays and his use of a terrifying sacred art to kill Ou Zhaohe, De Pingsha¡¯s escape, Mo Wuji¡¯s battle with Ling Rong, Ling Rong¡¯s eventual self-explosion, Mo Wuji¡¯s disappearance, Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square¡¯s destruction¡­ In reality, when Lou Si came to find him, he intended to hand Lou Si off to Mifei Trade Union. He was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to fend off the three Immortal Emperors from Mifei Trade Union. If Mo Wuji dies, the ties between them would no longer be there. But the reality showed that even though Mo Wuji was facing three Immortal Emperors by himself, and regardless of his strategies, Mo Wuji had the individual power to kill an Immortal Emperor. The result of that battle was the death of two out of three of Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Immortal Emperors. Mo Wuji, himself, didn¡¯t die. Now, Mo Wuji had disappeared without a trace. Teng Feiyan was sure that it wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji¡¯s body had been disintegrated till it couldn¡¯t be seen, but because Mo Wuji had fled far away. Originally, Teng Feiyan was confused as to why Mo Wuji chose to stay behind and battle the three Immortal Emperors. He believed that since Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage, he should have disguised himself and fled. He really couldn¡¯t understand the reason behind Mo Wuji¡¯s actions. But now, he understood. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t only want to teach Mifei Trade Union a lesson, Mo Wuji also wanted to show him, Teng Feiyan, about what he could do. Teng Feiyan released a long sigh. Whether Mo Wuji wanted him to see the battle or not, he wasn¡¯t going to touch Lou Si. From the beginning, Lou Si had never been an important figure. There was no need for him to offend a genius like Mo Wuji for an unimportant Lou Si. That fella was even able to kill Ou Zhaohe, a late-stage Immortal Emperor. There was no wonder why he was able to return so quickly during the previous time with Du Hong. He, Teng Feiyan, had only just advanced to the immortal Emperor Stage. He probably wasn¡¯t even placed in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. "Castellan Teng, House Master Mo¡­ he¡­" Lou Si carefully walked to Teng Feiyan¡¯s back; her tone was filled with respect. Teng Feiyan waved his hand and said, "House Master Mo will be fine. There¡¯s no need for you to worry. In fact, it would be Mifei Trade Union who would be in trouble for publicly causing a ruckus in Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. This matter wouldn¡¯t end like this. Lou Si, we need to leave as soon as possible. You can follow me to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." If Mo Wuji was killed, Mifei Trade Union would probably only need to compensate some green crystals and this huge matter would be resolved. But now, Mo Wuji, alone, had killed three of Mifei¡¯s Immortal Emperors and a huge portion of Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square had been destroyed. The City Hall definitely wouldn¡¯t let this matter rest so simply. ¡­ Before Mo Wuji could escape the boundaries of Ling Rong¡¯s self-explosion, a terrifying force of immortal elemental energy slammed against Mo Wuji¡¯s back. Even though Mo Wuji¡¯s body was collapsing, he still tried to use his Wind Escape Technique. Unfortunately, the space had been sealed by Ling Rong. He had no means of using his Wind Escape Technique. A minute spatial tear appeared in front of him. Mo Wuji gathered all his immortal elemental energy from his elemental storage channels and furiously punched that spatial tear. The instant that tear widened, Mo Wuji charged in. He was clear that with his injuries, he would definitely die if he remained in the city square. Escaping into this spatial tear would give him a chance to survive. "Bang!" Another force violently impacted his body. Mo Wujis mind started to get blurry. Waves of coldness and desolation swept across him; Mo Wuji knew that he had landed in the desert wasteland. At this time, he definitely couldn¡¯t fall unconscious. If he fainted, he might never wake up. His vitality channel was withered and there was only a strand of elemental energy left in his elemental storage channel. Fortunately, there was still his spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji immediately entered into his Undying World. "My lord, you¡¯re injured again?" Seeing Mo Wuji enter with not a single intact shred of skin, Shuai Guo, who was already a Grade 3 immortal demonic beast, hurriedly rushed over. "Hurry and bring the Breath of Hongmeng¡­" Mo Wuji roared. After saying this sentence, he fainted. He wasn¡¯t even able to bring his Undying World deeper into the sands of the desert wasteland. Chapter 772: The Strength of the Cosmos Edge Chapter 772: The Strength of the Cosmos Edge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was where countless of worlds intersect with each other and rumours spread that this was the only place where one could leave the Immortal World for a place which was on an even higher realm. Moreover, many experts in the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor Stage could indeed sense the dao spirituality higher than that of an Immortal Emperor which in turn, allowed them to progress further to become even stronger. To increase their chances of entering the higher world, countless of experts from all across the universe fought endless civil wars here just so they could obtain beneficial territory in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. After years of endless wars, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos had been shaped into a unique place. After fighting for territories, people started to exchange mutual benefits. Some time later, a communal domain was formed just outside the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Even though there were still occasional killings here, this place was considered peaceful as compared to the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. This place was the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos¡¯ Communal Domain, also known as the Cosmos Edge. Cultivation experts of any race or world were all allowed to trade here in the Cosmos Edge. This was also the reason why the flourishing Cosmos Edge was named to be the place with the most treasures throughout the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Concurrently, the Cosmos Edge was also the miniature version of the entire cosmos because whichever race controlled the largest territory or most number of merchant houses here in the Cosmos Edge would likely to be the greatest power in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Within the Cosmos Edge, the three main sources of treasures would be the Shattered Ruins on the periphery of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, Heaven¡¯s Beyond Secret Realm and the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. The main source of resources from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor came from the Cosmos Wall but the truth was that this place contained the least number of treasures among the three sources. The only notable resource would be the green crystals and while the other items were not of low grade, they weren¡¯t some kind of peak grade or heaven defying treasures. However, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor was indeed the place of origins for cultivation resources. Even though there was a city square within the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor, a majority of the cultivation resources which came out from the Cosmos Wall made its way into the Cosmos Edge. The human and demon race were the two main races who collected the most amount of resources from the Cosmos Wall. However, the reason why these two races were able to occupy the territory right outside the Cosmos Wall was not because they were the strongest. It was because the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor had a rotation system where every thousand years, two different races would occupy the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor to fight for the cultivation resources coming out from the Cosmos Wall. It was the human and demon race¡¯s turns to occupy the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor and within this 1000 years, those who wished to enter the Cosmos Wall for treasures would need to join either the human or demon race. Within this 1000 years, once you¡¯ve joined either the human or demon race, you would need to fight for the side that you¡¯ve chosen till the end. Honestly, immortals who came to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor in search of cultivation resources were all extremely miserable whether they joined the human or demon race. The instance they set foot into the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor, going back would basically be close to impossible because of the astronomical fees which ordinary people wouldn¡¯t be able to afford. The longer you stayed in the corridor, the harder it would be for you to leave. Logically speaking, since the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor opened up the Cosmos Wall often which equate to abundant amount of resources, it shouldn¡¯t matter whether one could return or not. However, this wasn¡¯t the case because there would often be a big war which occurred soon after the opening of the Cosmos Wall. The intense war was fought solely for the cultivation resources and many immortals would perish during such wars. Even without the wars, staying in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor for a prolonged period of time would result in the eradication of one¡¯s dao foundation. There was a type of deathly desolate energy which would darken a cultivator¡¯s dao foundation all across the desert wasteland of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. After many years of wars, the deathly energy accumulated and the longer one stayed here, the harder it would be for one to progress further in terms of cultivation. This was of course with the exception of the first few years in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor; where cultivation level would rise sharply. This was also why no Immortal Emperors would be willing to stay long in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor because even their dao foundation would be affected after some time and the gains simply wouldn¡¯t make up for the losses. The main reason why Teng Feiyan and Kuang Jin could enter the Immortal Emperor Realm was because 6they were always in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square with no need for them to enter the battlefield. At the very most, they would occasionally enter the Cosmos Wall to collect resources. How many cultivators could enjoy such a life? For the majority of cultivators here, they would need to participate in a war once every three to five days in the desert wasteland. Even experts like Teng Feiyan and Kuang Jin would lose their opportunity to realise their emperor dao if they were to stay outside for an extended period of time. Kuang Jin was fortunate to have met a Tier 9 Pill Emperor like Mo Wuji after just a few hundred years. If he were to wait any longer, he might not be able to realise his dao here even if he met Mo Wuji. Teng Feiyan was the castellan of the city square so it would be natural for him to realise his emperor dao with the vast amount of resources offered to him. After realising his emperor dao, he had to leave this place as soon as he could too. ¡­ The Very High Heavens was one of the force which was a part of the human race in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and they first arrived at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos with considerable powers. After the countless of wars over the years, many talented immortals of the Very High Heavens were sent into the war and almost everyone sent there had perished there. Because of this, the strength of the Very High Heavens was gradually weakened and had lost about 90% of the territory it first owned. Now, it only had an ordinary city in the cosmos and even their original encampment was snatched away by others. The Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City was now the only encampment they had left in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Presently, an emotionless middle age man was seated on the main seat in the hall of the Very High Heavens Immortal City. Tens of people sat on either side of him and every one of them was brimming with energy. Even the weakest one among them was in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage. The middle age man was called Ping Lishang, the castellan of the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City, and he was in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. Within the Very High Heavens itself, his status was only second to Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. Everyone was well aware that he worked solely for Zi Changluo and would listen to every order from him. "Zai Yang, let me know the details of how the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square was destroyed as well as the appearance of that Pill Emperor from human race," Ping Lishang said with a tone as unfeeling as his face. "Yes," A slightly skinnier elder stood up with his fist clasped before saying, "There was a Pill Emperor called Mo Wuji who set up a shophouse in the city square called the Mortal Pill House. He was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor and the pills he concocted was way cheaper than the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. This resulted in the unhappiness of the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion who eventually reported to the Mifei Trade Union¡­" "Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion has four Immortal Reverents and they still reported to their trade union?" A young female, who was seated beside Ping Lishang, asked doubtfully. Zai Yang explained, "Even though this Mo Wuji was a Tier 8 Pill Emperor, he should have obtained an extremely high quality legacy because he actually managed to get the Immortal Reverent Kuang Jin of the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion to betray them and rumours were that he even managed to kill the bisexual Immortal Reverent Ji Qi. Min Cheng of the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion had always been very cautious which was why he reported to the trade union." Ping Lishang nodded, "I am aware of this so do continue." Despite the restrains of their powers in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, the Very High Heavens still had a shophouse of their own in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. He had indeed heard of Mifei Trade Union sending an Immortal Emperor to the city square but he simply chose to ignore it. In his opinion, the Mortal Pill House was seeking death and the Immortal Emperor should have eliminated the Mortal Pill House. "The Immortal Emperor sent by the Mifei Trade Union is called Dou Hong and the unexpected incident was how Dou Hong disappeared without a trace after reaching the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. He should have been killed by that Pill Emperor Mo¡­" A voice interjected Zai Yang¡¯s words, "I know Dou Hong and that he was in the pinnacle of the elementary Immortal Emperor Stage. I believe that even the average intermediate Immortal Emperor might not be able to match him so how could like pill master like Mo Wuji kill him? Could Kuang Jin have helped after realising his emperor dao?" Zai Yang continued, "This was what I suspected previously but a few days later, rumours were spreading about how the Mifei Trade Union sent another three more Immortal Emperors, Ou Zhaohe, Ling Rong and De Pingsha to the city square. These three people surrounded the Mortal Pill House and the newly advanced Immortal Emperor Kuang Jin fled from the city square in fear just as the battle started. Mo Wuji alone fought three Immortal Emperors and even managed to kill Ou Zhaohe and Ling Rong when the defensive arrays exploded. Only De Pingsha managed to make it out alive as he escaped out into the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. This shows that the death of Dou Hong should have nothing to do with Kuang Jin." A deep breath of cold air was breathed in as everyone in the hall knew Ou Zhaohe and Ling Rong despite not knowing who Mo Wuji was. Ou Zhaohe was an advanced Immortal Emperor and was a unique existence with unparalleled strength in the Cosmos Edge. On the other hand, Ling Rong was a cold blooded Immortal Emperor and was almost as strong as Ou Zhaohe. To die under the hands of a Pill Emperor of the Mortal Pill House, this was simply unbelievable. Zai Yang¡¯s voice could be heard again, "The Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square was destroyed by that single war but that Mo Wuji had disappeared.Presently at the Cosmos Edge, members of the city square is squaring off with the Mifei Trade Union in terms of the compensation which Mifei Trade Union should pay for the destruction of the city square." "Do you have any image of that Mo Wuji?" Ping Lisha¡¯ tone became even deeper. Zai Yang¡¯s raised his hand to draw an image of a blue robe youth for everyone to view. A golden robe man seated in the corner of the hall clenched his fist tightly at the sight of the image. In less than a breath¡¯s worth of time, he managed to conceal all his anger and emotions. "Has anyone seen this man before?" Ping Lishang scanned through the crowd of people in the hall. No one stood up to say anything as it was evident no one knew Mo Wuji. "Since no one recognise him, this meeting shall end here. Sun Lin, follow me to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Immortal Alliance," Ping Lisha stood up and said. "Yes," The person standing up was a female seated beside Ping Lisha and she was the same person who asked why the Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion reported to the trade union. Experts in the hall started to stand up as everyone was aware that Ping Lisha was going to request for the help of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Immortal Alliance to fight for an encampment in the Cosmos Edge. The human race which the Very High Heavens represented had an encampment in the Cosmos Edge but as the race got stronger while the Very High Heavens got weaker, they were eventually chased out of the Cosmos Edge. Without a foothold in the Cosmos Edge, one would eventually be chased out of the heart of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Chapter 773: Foolish Shuai Guo Chapter 773: Foolish Shuai Guo Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Yiren, you know that Mo Wuji?" The moment they walked out of the hall, a young man stared and questioned the golden robe man. "Ah¡­" The golden robe man exclaimed and instantly knew that his previous action was spotted by his brother. He hesitated but kept quiet. The young man seemed to understand the golden robe man as he smiled faintly, "Because I know that person and even know of his origins." Yiren heard these words and his eyes lit up as he asked anxiously, "Big Brother, who is this person? Where did he come from?" The young man said with a calm tone, "Tell me why are you so furious at this person?" This time, Yiren said without any hesitation, "Back when I was refining my fire in the void, I found a broken planet and it had at least 10 primal fire crystals¡­" "What?" Having heard this, the young man immediately knew that this wasn¡¯t the place to speak so he quickly brought the golden robe man out of the castellan¡¯s hall. An hour later in one of the cabin of a resthouse, this young man asked in a solemn tone, "Yiren, continue to describe the situation back then." At this moment, this young man had a bad feeling that these primal fire crystals didn¡¯t end up with his younger brother. Yiren continued explaining calmly, "Previously, it was that fella who spotted these primal fire crystals too. When he realised that he wasn¡¯t a match for me, he snatched away the piece of planet which we broke. All the primal fire crystals were in that piece of the planet which he took and I¡¯ve been searching for him ever since. I certainly didn¡¯t expect him to arrive at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor." "He wasn¡¯t a match for you?" The young man looked doubtfully at the man called Yiren, "According to Zai Yang¡¯s description, this fella who could kill Immortal Emperors was not a match for you? You are merely in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. Additionally, there was also an advanced Immortal Emperor expert protecting him the last time I saw him. This fella even established an immortal sect in the Immortal World and my guess that he is already an Immortal Emperor now. How could such a person be not a match for you?" This young man was Jin Yu, the envoy sent by the Very High Heavens to the Sharphorn Immortal Ruins. The golden robe man was his younger brother, Jin Yiren, the man who had an intense fight with Mo Wuji over the primal fire crystals. Eventually, the primal fire crystals were snatched away by Mo Wuji. Jin Yiren said convincingly, "I am certain I didn¡¯t misjudged his cultivation level back then. He was merely a Xuan Immortal when I met him while I was already in the elementary Immortal Reverent Stage. Even with the restrains by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, I am still stronger than him which was why he chose to run away. Big Brother, could you tell me who he is?" Jin Yu replied with a stern face, "How dare a newly established sect snatch something from my Jin Clan? This person is asking for death. His name is Mo Wuji, a pill emperor and had established the Ping Fan Immortal School in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain. If I knew this person snatched the primal fire crystals from my Jin Clan, I would have razed his Ping Fan Immortal School. Ai, no¡­" Jin Yu suddenly looked at Jin Yiren and said, "Yiren, you said that he was in the Xuan Immortal Stage but how long has it been since then? Previously, you were in the elementary Immortal Reverent Stage and given the amount of resources presented to you, you are only in the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage now. How could that Mo Wiji advance to become from a Xuan Immortal to an Immortal Emperor in the same period of time?" The brothers exchanged glances as both of them kept quiet. Both of them knew what was in each other¡¯s mind and that was how Mo Wuji had a huge secret on him. Only a huge secret could enable Mo Wuji to advance so quickly into the Immortal Emperor Stage so quickly. "Did you continue scanning through the surrounding where the primal fire crystals appeared?" Jin Yu continued to question. Jin Yiren nodded, "I did scan through the area and I even found a planet called the Morning Flame Star and the core of the Morning Flame Star was a Fire Elemental Bead. At that point in time, I wanted to refine that planet but a madman who claimed to be defending the planet started fighting his life against me. I restrained that madman instead of killing him because I wanted to refine the Morning Flame Star before forcing him to admit if he knew Mo Wuji. What I didn¡¯t expect was that before I could complete the refinement of the Morning Flame Star, that madman self exploded and before I got my hands on the Fire Elemental Bead, it escaped from me. Previously, I was unaware of that fella¡¯s origins but now that I am aware, how could I let him go?" Jin Yiren even shifted the blame for the loss of that Fire Elemental Bead to Mo Wuji. Jin Yu waved his hand, "No hurry because we must not touch his sect now. News of us attacking his sect might spread to the Very High Heavens so our priority now would be capture this Mo Wuji and force him to reveal his treasures. Once Mo Wuji was gotten rid of, it wouldn¡¯t be too late to demolish his sect then." "Alright big brother. That Mo Wuji must have quite a number of decent treasures on him so once we managed to get rid of him, we can split the treasures equally," Jin Yiren said. ¡­ Mo Wuji was after all a God Physique Level 7 expert and with the help of the Breath of Hong Meng and his constantly circulating vitality channel, Mo Wuji only spent slightly over a month to recover from his injuries. In order to deal with Ling Rong, Mo Wuji almost burnt his entire lifespan and vitality away. If it wasn¡¯t for his vitality channel and Breath of Hong Meng, he would have perished. Therefore, even though his injuries were healed, his physical body was still skinny and his hair was still white. Mo Wuji hurried to sit up as his spiritual will seeped out of his Undying World. In the very next moment, he knew that he was still in the desert wasteland of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor, The void within the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor might be very hard to tear but he was well aware that he managed to enter a gap in the void back then. "Master, please ask me out the next time you fight. I am not fearful of some lower level cultivators," Shuai Guo ran over with its jolting butt the instance it noticed Mo Wuji sat up. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered with Shuai Guo but he knew that Shuai Guo¡¯s back leg should be pretty decent. The blood legacy of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito was a peak grade godbeast. The only pity was that its grade was simply too low now as it was only a Grade 3 immortal beast¡­ No, just as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on Shuai Guo, he noticed that Shuai Guo was about to undergo its tribulation, "Shuai Guo, have you prepared for your tribulation to become a Grade 4 immortal beast?" Shuai Guo only managed to undergo one lightning tribulation after advancing to become a Grade 9 demonic beast. Ever since, it had not undergo any tribulation as it constantly advance into the Great Circle of the Grade 3 immortal beast stage. Shuai Guo said embarassingly, "The laws here are incomplete so I am still unable to enter the ranks of the Grade 4 immortal beast. I need to leave this place to undergo my tribulation." Mo Wuji swept his hand and directly brought Shuai Guo out of his Undying World as they landed on the desert wasteland. Concurrently, he threw out an immortal vein and thousands of green crystals before installing an energy gathering array, "Hurry up with your tribulation." "Yes, my Lord," Shuai Guo dashed into the energy gathering array and within half an incense worth of time, he ignited the roars of lightning tribulations. Mo Wuji puffed out a mouthful of air because he knew he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave this place temporarily after he failed to leave the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor even by tearing the space apart. As for heading towards the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, Mo Wuji was not that arrogant. He had just killed three Immortal Emperors of the Mifei Trade Union so once he revealed himself in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, he would definitely be surrounded by multiple experts. At that point in time, he could only await his inevitable death. Back when he was in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, he made use of the self explosion of the trap array and burnt a portion of his lifespan away just to make it out alive. Mo Wuji was well aware that he was only alive mainly because of his formidable fleshly body. Otherwise, how could he survive the self explosion of an intermediate Immortal Emperor? During the battle in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, Mo Wuji found out a weakness of his own. He realised that he didn¡¯t have a lot of sacred arts to choose from and even so, most of the sacred arts he possessed were not complete and were slightly messy too. Additionally, because he hadn¡¯t been able to cultivate during these period of time, he made his decision to first perfect his sacred arts while improving his cultivation level simultaneously. He had loads of green crystals on him and was not short of any immortal pills. The only worry was that he shouldn¡¯t stay in the desert wasteland for a prolonged period of time because it would lead to eventual death. The only problem was that Mo Wuji had nowhere else to go but to stay in the desert wasteland. "Boom boom boom!" Three blue coloured lightning bolts landed explosively and just as Mo Wuji was wondering and about to witness how capable this Shuai Guo was, he looked shockingly at the sight in front of him. Shuai Guo was actually charging towards the sky as it swallowed the three explosive lightning bolts with its wide mouth. Had this mosquito lost its head or was it truly this strong? Mo Wuji was dumbfounded. With his God Physique Body, he could absorb the lightning source but he wasn¡¯t even as crazy as Shuai Guo during tribulation. "Pfft!" Multiple blood radiances shot out and Mo Wuji buried his face helplessly. This mosquito was indeed out of his mind and not that strong after all. Following which, six more explosive lightning bolts descended and including the three which Shuai Guo swallowed, nine lightning bolts almost burnt all the internal organs within Shuai Guo and this first wave of lightning bolts had already force it down into the depths of the ground. Shuai Guo hurried to swallow numerous healing pills and was extremely depressed. It had witnessed how it¡¯s lord underwent his tribulation and how he rose up to punch against the lightning bolts. What origins was it, Shuai Guo, of? He had the blood of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito and this was an existence which could even swallow Xiantian treasures so how hard could swallowing lightning bolts be? However, the truth presented to it that it was still a long way from being able to swallow lightning bolts. If it wasn¡¯t for the effective healing pills concocted by Mo Wuji, it should have perished along with the first wave of lightning bolts. "Boom boom boom!" The second wave of lightning bolts landed and this time, Shuai Guo wasn¡¯t as clueless and dumb as when it was during the first wave. He hurried to spit out a black coloured fire wall. Lightning bolts clashed with the fire wall and the fire wall was destroyed into pieces. However, the lightning bolts which landed on Shuai Guo¡¯s body had been weakened by several levels after passing through the fire wall. Mo Wiji heaved a sigh of relief as this fella had finally woken up from its dumb idea. Chapter 774: Swallowing the Deathly Energy Chapter 774: Swallowing the Deathly Energy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before the third wave of lightning bolts could descend, the energy around Shuai Guo''s body started surging wildly and Mo Wuji knew that Shuai Guo was about to advance. Given how the incredible amount of energy exuding from Shuai Guo''s body, this wave shouldn''t do much harm to it. Indeed, the third and fourth wave of lightnings merely scraped Shuai Guo''s feathers. Even before the fifth wave could land, Mo Wuji was confident that the next few lightning bolts wouldn''t affect Shuai Guo significantly too. Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a slight change in the energy of the surrounding air. However, his spiritual was unable to detect what change was it. When Mo Wuji noticed that Shuai Guo opened its mouth yet again, he instantly condensed his spiritual eye without second thoughts. Under his spiritual eye, grey energy, which couldn''t be detected by spiritual will, was absorbed by Shuai Guo like how a gigantic whale would absorb water. There seemed to be slight changes in the surrounding and Mo Wuji felt much more comfortable than before as the previous oppressive feeling was relieved. Yet another few more waves of lightning bolts descended and Shuai Guo instantly advanced to become a Class 4 immortal demonic beast and the last few lightnings really didn''t affect him at all. However, whether it was during or after its tribulation, Shuai Guo was still opening it''s mouth to constantly absorb the energy in the surrounding. Under Mo Wuj''s watchful spiritual eye, that grey energy brought along a trace of coldness and even some sensing of blackened dao foundation; this was definitely the deathly energy. Mo Wuji''s heart trembled and in one step, he landed right beside Shuai Guo. Shuai Guo hurried to stop absorbing the grey energy as it said embarrassingly, "My Lord, I am a Class 4 immortal beast now." It was worried that Mo Wuji might scold it for being foolish for even trying to swallow the lightning bolts. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "Continue swallowing the grey energy like you did previously." "Alright, this energy tastes decent and I could feel my power rising rapidly after swallowing it," Shuai Guo said pleasingly when it heard that Mo Wuji wasn''t scolding it. Having said that, Shuai Guo seemed to notice that his lord wasn''t very pleased so he didn''t dare to continue spouting nonsense as it opened its mouth once again. This time, Mo Wuji could clearly feel much more comfortable as he concluded that Shuai Guo was indeed able to swallow the grey and oppressive energy in this place. Following Shuai Guo''s swallowing of that energy, Mo Wuji could feel that the surrounding air was clearing up increasingly. Previously, his spiritual will could barely sense the surrounding but after Shuai Guo''s actions, the influence on his spiritual will gradually decreased. Mo Wuji even suspected that once Shuai Guo swallowed all the grey, cold and gloomy energy in this area, the restriction to fly would be released. Shuai Guo had no idea how it was absorbing the grey and gloomy energy and despite being much stronger than Shuai Guo, Mo Wuji could only feel the changes in surrounding and was completely unable to touch it at all. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will tried landing on the grey energy which was absorbed by Shuai Guo and he was shocked in the next instance. In just half a moment later, he could feel some sort of sluggishness in his meridians. "I understand now," Mo Wuji muttered to himself. He finally understood why there were only a few Immortal Emperors here and why people who entered the desert wasteland would disappear after a period of time. There was this mighty deathly energy which could evolve and darken a person''s dao foundation here in the desert wasteland and that was the same grey and gloomy energy Shuai Guo was absorbing. Once Shuai Guo absorbed that same energy, cultivators would feel evidently more comfortable. If ordinary cultivators didn''t possess anything like his Undying World, they would not be able to last long even if they didn''t cultivate in a place like this. This was because cultivation level would constantly be eroded here and the dao foundation would eventually be corroded too. People were able to survive in the Heaven''s Beyond City Square because there was no such energy in the city square; or rather, the grey energy there was of the minimum. Mo Wuji tried absorbing this grey energy to cultivate because he wanted to know how powerful this energy was at corroding his spirit roots and meridians. Very soon, Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find out that despite feeling that sluggish effect immediately after absorbing the energy, this same energy actually turned into immortal energy once it went through his detoxification channel. Additionally, the extremely small portion of the deathly energy that remained was directly discarded which meant that even if he didn''t possess his Undying World, this place wouldn''t be harmful to him. Initially, Mo Wuji was still considering where he should cultivate but now, he had calmed himself down. His Undying World was not complete so he wouldn''t be able to sense the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Since he wouldn''t be affected by the deathly energy around here, he would naturally start cultivating in this place. Two hours later, Mo Wuji brought Shuai Guo further down the depths of the ground where he installed an immortal cave. Shuai Guo didn''t enter his Undying World as he started absorbing the grey energy of this place together with a pile of green crystals, immortal crystals and immortal pills at a rapid rate. His strength was constantly rising too. The first thing Mo Wuji did wasn''t to cultivate but to open up Ou Zhaohe''s storage ring. Even though the millions of green crystals inside were not comparable to his, it was already considered extremely wealthy. Other than the millions of green crystals, Mo Wuji found tens of peak grade smithing materials and even found a Grade 9 flying immortal concealment boat. Moreover, the Mysterious Yang Seal was an immortal equipment which surpassed Grade 9 and even though Mo Wuji had yet to refine it, he knew that this item wouldn''t be much weaker than his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Despite not having an heaven shaking treasures within the storage ring, Mo Wuji was already incredibly satisfied with the loots. After rearranging all the new items into his own storage ring, Mo Wuji took out the six pages of the Book of Luo. He knew that Murong Xiangyu desperately wanted these few pages of the Book of Luo but Mo Wuji never had the intention to hand them to her. If it was Cen Shuyin or Han Qingru who wanted these pages of the Book of Luo, Mo Wuji wouldn''t hesitate to give it to them but as for Murong Xiangyu, she could forget about it. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had became extremely strong and coupled with his spirit storage channel, he started refining the Book of Luo in the Immortal Reverent Stage at a speed much greater than before. Layers and layers of Xiantian restrictions were opened up by Mo Wuji and he was completely indulged in the process of refining the Book of Luo. ¡­ The Cosmos Beyond Immortal Resthouse was the number one immortal resthouse of the Cosmos Edge. Nobody knew who was behind this immortal resthouse but its reputation across the entire Cosmos Edge was extraordinarily good. No matter what kind of feud you had, nobody would find trouble with you once you set foot into this resthouse. Also, the soundproofing restriction within the Cosmos Beyond Immortal Resthouse was also one of the best in the business so any matters discussed here would never be leak out. Presently in one of the intermediate grade cabin of the Cosmos Beyond Immortal Resthouse, two middle age men were seated in the middle. Nobody spoke as they seemed to be waiting for someone. Half an incense had passed and the cabin entrance was interrupted and an elder followed in. Once the elder entered the cabin, he casually brought the restriction back up as he bowed and said, "Feicheng greets the two young lords." "Uncle Cheng please take a seat," Both men stood up with a pleasant expression. The two middle aged men were indeed Jin Yu and Jin Yiren of the Jin Clan. In the Cosmos Edge, a lot of people were putting on masks and so would they. The elder was the manager of the Jin Clan, Jin Feicheng. Similarly because he knew that these two young lords had came to find him, he put on a mask too. "Yes, young lords what do you have for me?" Jin Feicheng didn''t mind their courtesy as he sat down. He had watched Jin Yu and Jin Yiren grow through the years so he had treated them as his own family since a long time ago. "Uncle Cheng, please take a look at this fight that was recorded," After saying that, Jin Yu brought out a water crystal ball and casually struck out a few hand seals. A slightly blurry recording started showing on the space in front of them. This was evidently the fight between Mo Wuji and the three Immortal Emperors from the Mifei Trade Union. Even though the appearance of the few people were not clear, the entire fight was seen clearly. "This was that Pill Master Mo right? I''ve heard that he killed three Immortal Emperors of the Mifei Trade Union¡­" Jin Feicheng saw the recording and said surprisingly. Jin Yu nodded, "Yes indeed, Uncle CHeng. You are in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage and you should be as strong as that Ou Zhaohe. What do you think of this Mo Wuji''s strength?" "Two young lords want to deal with this person?" Jin Feicheng understood once he heard this question. Jin Yiren grunted and said, "This person snatched a treasure from the hands of my Jin Clan so I wouldn''t be at ease till the day I kill him." Jin Yu said calmly, "We can speak freely in front of Uncle Cheng. This person snatched at least ten primal fire crystals from Yiren and even had a huge cultivation secret on him. Besides this, he even made over seven to eight millions of green crystals from the Heaven''s Beyond City Square and also various peak grade immortal herbs and ores." JIn Feicheng took in a deep breath of cold air because a person with seven to eight millions of green crystals would already be considered an extremely wealthy person even in the Cosmos Edge. After understanding the intentions of these two young lords, Jin Feicheng said in a serious tone, "According to the recording of the fight, he should still be in the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. It was impossible for someone to tear the space within the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor apart and leave just like that so in this case, he would return and for the time being, he wouldn''t be able to return to the human or demon corridor. He should be in the west side of the desert wasteland within the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. The five elemental primal crystals had the capability to restrain the deathly energy of the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor so this person''s cultivation level and vitality wouldn''t be affected in the short period of time. Moreover, since he had offended the Mifei Trade Union, he wouldn''t enter either the demon or human corridor and definitely wouldn''t come to the Cosmos Edge. To deal with this person, all we need to do would be to go to the west of the desert wasteland. Jin Yu nodded, Jin Feicheng''s deduction of the situation was exactly the same as his. "According to the fight recording, this person made use of the self denotation of the deathtrap array to kill Ou Zhaohe and Ling Rong so it could be said that this person was an immortal array master and also a physique tempering expert. I predict that this person should already be in the advanced God Physique Stage. In order to fight this person, we must not be trapped within his deathtrap array," Jin Feicheng''s tone became more serious as he spoke. Jin Yu added, "That''s right and this fella''s cultivation level should have yet to reach the Immortal Emperor Stage." Jin Feicheng shook his head, "It doesn''t matter whether or not he managed to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage because what matters was how strong he is. His strength should be comparable to an intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. If he didn''t made use of the explosion of a deathtrap arraay, he definitely wouldn''t be a match for Young Lord Yu." "I know that he isn''t a match for me but this person is extremely crafty. I came to find Uncle Cheng for advice on how to trap him so that he wouldn''t be able to escape. "This matter isn''t difficult but you need to borrow one item. The hardest thing to do now would be to find this person," Jin Feicheng said with a faint smile. Jin Yu''s eyes lit up as he seemed to understand Uncle Cheng''s meaning. Chapter 775: The Peculiar Sacred Art Chapter 775: The Peculiar Sacred Art Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Back in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond desert wasteland, Mo Wuji and Shuai Guo were currently in cultivation seclusion. The underground cave that they were in was protected by multiple arrays and even the concealment and spirit concealing array were of Grade 7. As for whether people would come looking for him, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered at all. In fact, Mo Wiji was certain that someone would be searching for him because he had just killed three Immortal Emperors of the Mifei Trade Union. It would be odd if the Mifei Trade Union didn¡¯t come looking for him and other than the Mifei Trade Union, experts from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos would also be searching for him in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. Having collected so many green crystals and the mountain of top tiers immortal herbs, there would definitely be greedy experts who were confident that they could claim these green crystals and immortal herbs for themselves. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t bothered because he was certain nobody would be able to find him hundred thousand metres down from the surface of the desert wasteland. The desert wasteland was filled with endless amount of deathly energy and with those energy accumulating, the effects would be more severe further down the ground. No cultivator¡¯s spiritual will would be able to scan through such depths and if he didn¡¯t possess the detoxification channel, even he might not be able to do so. In a place like this, those who could use their spiritual will to scan underground with a depth of ten thousand metres would already be considered as a peak grade expert. Moreover, the amount of time spent searching must not be a lot because one¡¯s dao foundation would darken over time. As for Shuai Guo absorbing the deathly energy, it was merely like a drop in the ocean when compared to the vast and boundless Heaven¡¯s Beyond desert wasteland. Because of the distance between Mo Wuji and Shuai Guo, Shuai Guo¡¯s absorption would not affect Mo Wuji¡¯s seclusion area at all. This was of course unless someone also had the detoxification meridian and was not afraid of the deathly energy here. ... West River Religious Order, a renowned area in the Cosmos Edge for being violent. If there was still a place in the Cosmos Edge where one could kill another person openly, it would be the West River Religious Order. One could strike their blade against another person because of a simple dispute and the winner would get to carry on living. There were a few reasons why the West River Religious Order was not the most reputable for the fact that one could kill someone openly here. The first reason would be the West River Religious Order¡¯s Union Head, An Xuecheng. An Xuecheng was commonly addressed as An Xiecheng [1] and he was only in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. If one were to name the top 10 most vicious experts in the entire Cosmos Edge, he would definitely be one of them. Once he was intent to kill you, even a Grand Emperor might not be able to walk away from him alive. The second reason would be the West River Religious Order¡¯s number one treasure, Luo Tian Web. [2] Once the Luo Tian Web was wielded, nobody would be able to escape from it no matter how strong your escaping technique was. Death would be inevitable once the Luo Tian Web was brought out. The Luo Tian Web was the symbol of the West River Religious Order but anyone with status and green crystals would be able to rent the Luo Tian Web. Naturally, ordinary people would not be able to rent it because it would cost 100,000 green crystals to rent it for a day. Besides, one would need to pay a peak grade deposit too. An Xuecheng was never worried that someone would rent the Luo Tian Web and never return it. This was because the Luo Tian Web couldn¡¯t be refine and once you tried to refine it, An Xuecheng would be able to sense it and get it back at the very first moment. Anyone who dared to refine the Luo Tian Web would be facing death in the very next instance. Other than the fact that An Xuecheng was an Immortal Emperor who could triumph over Grand Emperors, there were almost as many experts in the West River Religious Order as there were clouds. Additionally, with the use of the Luo Tian Web, no expert would be able to escape death. Jin Yu, Jin Yiren and Jin Feicheng walked into the West River Religious Order and a sharp killing intent surged over. Despite spending long years cultivating alone, Jin Yiren could still sense that something was amiss. "What¡¯s the matter?" A female with sharp eyes came forward to obstruct the path of the trio. Jin Yu knew that one could rent out the Luo Tian Web from the West River Religious Order but had no idea what the procedure was. Now that he was obstructed by someone, he struck out a soundproof restriction before clasping his fists, "I want to rent the Luo Tian Web." "Please leave and come back half a month later. The Luo Tian Web had already been rented out by someone else and would only be returned half a month later," The woman stared calmly at Jin Yu as she said this. Jin Yu¡¯s heart sank as his eyes landed back on Jin Feicheng. Jin Feicheng nodded and the trio left the order in a hurry. "Forget about this item, let¡¯s go straight to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor," Jin Yu said anxiously once they left the West River Religious Order. The trio understood they were not the only people who wanted to capture the Tier 8 Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji. Even if others were unaware that Mo Wuji had peak grade primal fire crystals on him, the rewards which Mo Wuji collected during his stay in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square was enough to get people¡¯s attention and envy. If the trio were interested in the items which Mo Wuji had on him, it was only natural that other people felt the same way too. ¡­ After refining the Book of Luo in the Immortal Reverent Stage, Mo Wuji realised that the Book of Luo was boundlessly extensive and was definitely not just about its defensive effectiveness. The greater use of the Book of Luo would be its insights of one¡¯s dao and how it could polish a person¡¯s understanding towards their own sacred art. Within the Book of Luo, there was a type of tangled Yin and Yang, unfortunate five elements and an endless Transformation Dao. Every page of the Book of Luo had 108 Xiantian restrictions on it and when Mo Wuji successfully refined the 81st restriction of the first page of the Book of Luo, a new revelation appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. At this moment, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need his dao revelation channel and was able to gain further understanding on the meridian cultivation technique which he deduced on his own. He could actually find some traces of the locus of his own technique within the Book of Luo. Once he reached the 81st restriction, no matter how Mo Wuji continue to refine it, his speed was comparable to a snail. Mo Wuji knew that his strength was limited so he should refine the other pages of the Book of Luo instead of dwelling on this one page which progress was no longer significant. Page after page of the Book of Luo was refined by Mo Wuji and all sorts of dao spirituality was captured by Mo Wuji. Presently, even though he wasn¡¯t focusing on his array dao, his array dao was constantly on the rise silently. Five Elements, Nine Palaces, Time, Space¡­ Once the sixth page of the Book of Luo was refined by Mo Wuji until the 81st restriction, Mo Wuji suddenly raised his hand and his original imprisonment of space became clearer as his understanding towards space had grown yet another level. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood how Murong Xiangyu was able to cultivate so quickly back in the Broken World. She must have made use of the Book of Luo to construct a time passageway through space where time within that space was displaced from time in the real world. This was a brand new law which didn¡¯t belong to the Laws of Heaven and Earth but a law condensed from the Book of Luo. Cultivating for over hundreds of years within a law like this would perhaps equate to less than a year on the real world. Mo Wuji shook his head as he finally understood why Murong Xiangyu was so desperate to complete the entire collection of the Book of Luo. This was because even though the time law within the Book of Luo increased her rate of cultivation, the incompleteness of the Book of Luo and because Murong Xiangyu hadn¡¯t completely refine the five pages of the Book of Luo, it would cause her Grand Dao foundation to be extremely unstable. In the long term, there was a high chance that Murong Xiangyu would delve further into the devilish dao. For a greater rate of cultivation, she had completely forgotten about her own dao foundation. Mo Wuji sighed because he would never use such incomplete time passage to increase the speed of his cultivation. He would rather use the Book of Luo to gain further insights on his sacred art and smoothen out the rough edges of his cultivation technique so as to perfect it. It wouldn¡¯t be too late if Murong Xiangyu could figure this out. As long as she used the Book of Luo to perfect her sacred arts and cultivation technique, her future achievements would definitely be incredibly remarkable. Otherwise, no matter how fast her cultivation rate was, it would be hard for her to reach the pinnacle of all experts. Besides this, the six pages of the Book of Luo could even form a mighty defensive space. Murong Xiangyu constructed a offensive sacred art using the Book of Luo but Mo Wuji threw that thought away. Even if he wanted to do so, he would wait for his Book of Luo to be completed before considering. Just six pages had already given Mo Wuji a vast and boundless enlightenment. The moment all 13 pages were here¡­ Mo Wuji took in another deep breath as he finally understood why Murong Xiangyu was so desperate to ask Mo Wuji for something she had given him. Just how powerful would this complete set of 13 pages be? Mo Wuji kept the few pages of the Book of Luo but he chose not to touch the Kun Wu Sword just yet. Instead, he started deducing his own sacred art. Up till now, Mo Wuji¡¯s greatest sacred art would still be his Wheel of Life and Death. However, his Wheel of Life and Death had major weaknesses in which when faced against a strong expert, his wheel of death could very easily hit back at him with the deathly energy. Secondly, a sacred art like this was simply too extreme as there were only life and death. According to Mo Wuji¡¯s Mortal Dao, the more extreme a sacred art was, the more powerful it would be. On the other hand, it would also mean the greater the weakness. If it wasn¡¯t for his vitality channel, his Wheel of Life and Death would have been completely useless for him. Mo Wuji raised both his hands and blur Wheel of Life and Death imprint appeared in front of him. In front of the imprint, there was only life and death; there were no other routes or options. Mo Wuji shut his eyes as his will seeped into the Wheel of Life and Death and his dao revelation channel started circulating wildly. Perfecting his Wheel of Life and Death was definitely not the same as refining his Book of Luo where time was all that mattered. The Wheel of Life and Death could easily backfire and caused the destruction of one¡¯s mind. Mo Wuji¡¯s hand started condensing out a variety of imprints as his Wheel of Life and Death kept on transforming. Concurrently, the deathly energy and life force within the surrounding was also circulating continuously. After who knew how long, Mo Wuji suddenly jerked up as he could clearly feel the deathly energy around him being swept away by his Wheel of Life and Death. The dao spirituality of the Wheel of Life and Death started changing rapidly as the deathly energy turned clear while the life force was controlled entirely by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji opened his eyes as he stared shockingly at the Wheel of Life and Death which he metamorphosed out. Initially, his Wheel of Life and Death only had the extreme life or death and he wasn¡¯t able to control either one of it. Presently, there was an additional life force which could be controlled by him in the Wheel of Life and Death. The reason was that the Wheel of Life and Death could absorb the deathly energy around him and in this area, there was nothing else except for deathly energy. As his Wheel of Life and Death swallowed more deathly energy, it became much mightier and stronger as time passed by. A sacred art that could cultivate? Mo Wuji took in a deep breath of cold air. In his memory and sensing, only a living matter could possibly cultivate. Sacred art was constructed and it was a combination of dao spirituality and elemental energy that could be controlled by spiritual will. Something like this would only become more powerful when one¡¯s cultivation level increased together with their level of understanding of it. Now that his sacred art could actually absorb deathly energy to become stronger, wasn¡¯t this a way of cultivation? A sacred art which could cultivate meant that this sacred art could give rise to its own spirituality. This made Mo Wuji shivered as he hurriedly opened his palm to blast out the Wheel of Death imprint. A clear and concise control returned to Mo Wuji¡¯s mind as he finally sensed that his Wheel of Life and Death was no longer just life or death. Currently, he could use a death imprint to lock an opposition onto the Wheel of Death and the life force shall belonged to him and only him. "Hush!" Mo Wuji let go of his hand but still felt peculiar. [1]: An Xuecheng was addressed as An Xiecheng because Xie in chinese would be blood. This was to represent how bloodthirsty and vicious this man was. [2]: Luo Tian Web was named after Grand Luo Tian which was one of the three highest heaven in the celestial world. Chapter 776: Dao Discussion Platform of the Cosmos Edge Chapter 776: Dao Discussion Platform of the Cosmos Edge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Whether or not it was peculiar, Mo Wuji knew that there was a fundamental change in his Wheel of Life and Death. While this sacred art could absorb deathly energy to increase its power, his Wheel of Life and Death was no longer just life or death. The Wheel of Life and Death might not be able to kill off stronger experts but it would be able to swallow his opposition¡¯s life force. No, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something and while he was initially not intending to touch his Wheel of Life and Death anymore, he drew out the Wheel of Life and Death yet again. At the same time where he drew out his Wheel of Life and Death, the space between life and death swapped. Because there was no opponent, the Wheel of Life and Death disappeared very quickly and Mo Wuji could sense that his sacred art grew yet again. At this moment, Mo Wuji was truly worried because he could clearly sense that not only was the Wheel of Life and Death able to absorb deathly energy, once the wheel was executed, the wheel would also be able to turn the life force which it swallowed into deathly energy to continue growing even stronger than before. In other words, if he had sufficient spiritual will and constantly struck out the Wheel of Life and Death towards a person, that fella, no matter how strong he was, would eventually be finished off. This was because everytime the Wheel of Life and Death was brought out, the opponent¡¯s life force would be turned into deathly energy by the wheel and this energy would strengthen the wheel again. This was the exact opposite of how normal sacred art would weaken after each consecutive use. This was all theoretical because strong experts would never allow him to continuously execute his Wheel of Life and Death and similarly, he wouldn¡¯t have that much spiritual will to keep using his Wheel of Life and Death. Because of this, Mo Wuji still felt that this sacred art had walked from one extreme to another extreme. Mo Wuji could be considered as the founding father of the Immortal Mortal Dao so he would be more aware of how terrifying a sacred art like this could be. Once such a sacred art grew to a certain level, biting back at its owner was not completely impossible. Regardless the case, his Wheel of Life and Death was currently unable to affect him so Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue analysing and pondering about it. Instead, he started deducing his halberd sacred art. Currently, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd had four sacred arts which was enlightened all by himself. They were his Grand Desert, Winding River, Setting Sun and Remnant Chasm which he gained insights back at the Gods Heavenly Chasm. His Grand Desert Sacred art was overly simplified and even though it was a sacred art meant to kill a crowd of enemies, Mo Wuji was clear that such a sacred art was still short of a fire when faced against his enemies. On the other hand, his Winding River, with the aid of Immortal Empress Wen Lan, had turned into one of his killing sacred art. Setting Sun was a sacred art which Mo Wuji had never been able to complete but this sacred art was Mo Wuji¡¯s strongest intent-level sacred art. The Grand Desert sacred art was simple because this was originally a intent-level sacred art and all that he was putting to use was purely the cohesive halberd radiance. After refining large parts of the Book of Luo, Mo Wuji¡¯s standard of array dao was no longer like before. He casually fused his array dao together with his Grand Desert sacred art. In front of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, miniature sized Grand Desert halberd radiances were formed up and after these radiances transformed into the Grand Desert, it instantly turned into countless of array flags. Even though these halberd radiance array flags were of low grades, ordinary cultivators could forget about escaping such a Grand Desert once all these flags were put together. The array flags formed from the Grand Desert halberd radiances were constantly expanding before continually transforming as endless streams of killing intent were fused within in... Following which were his Winding River and Setting Sun because Mo Wuji wanted to fuse these three intent-level sacred arts with his array dao. This was already Mo Wuji¡¯s third year in the underground of the desert wasteland. With the large amount of deathly energy in the surrounding coupled with the immortal vein and the pile of green crystals it had, Shuai Guo had already reached the pinnacle of Grade 4 immortal beast stage. Shuai Guo was intending to inform Mo Wuji that it was about to prepare for its tribulation but once its eyes fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert¡¯s array flags, its intent was swept away by the Grand Desert. In front of Shuai Guo was a piece of empty grand desert which was extremely desolate and chilly. In the next moment, this desolate grand desert suddenly roared up as endless amount of golden sand was swept up as it turned into a poignant scene. Everything in front turned blur as Shuai Guo witnessed how the golden sand turned into sharp and edgy sand which directly locked onto its state of mind. Just as Shuai Guo was about to step into the Grand Desert, the overwhelming sky full of golden sand suddenly disappeared without a trace as lacerating halberd radiance exploded in front of Shuai Guo. A light radiance, which seemed to be capable of splitting the space apart, exploded as an extremely deep gorge extended further downwards. Shuai Guo stopped in its track as cold and sharp killing intent almost split his forehead into two. "Carry on with your tribulation yourself, here are your cultivation resources," Mo Wuji¡¯s voice landed on Shuai Guo¡¯s ears as a storage ring was thrown to it. At that moment, why would Shuai Guo continue to stay and watch Mo Wuji¡¯s display of his sacred art? Without any hesitation, it flew out in urgent need to cultivate fast. Otherwise, even with its royal and precious bloodline legacy, it would still be too weak when compared to its lord, Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about Shuai Guo as he looked pleasingly at the gorge in front of his eyes because he knew that his Remnant Chasm had become stronger yet again. If his Grand Desert, Winding River and Setting Sun were his intent-level sacred arts, his Remnant Chasm would be his true magic sacred art. When his Grand Desert sacred art was fused with his array dao, his array dao had advanced from Grade 7 to Grade 8. If his array dao was as strong back when he was in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, none of the three Immortal Emperors would be able to escape. In the future, these four sacred arts would be called his Four Halberd Strikes namely the Grand Desert, Winding River, Setting Sun and Remnant Chasm. If he had new enlightenment over his halberd sacred art, he would simply add them accordingly. "Boom boom boom!" Lightning tribulations could be heard from outside and Mo Wuji scanned the surrounding using his spiritual will. In a split second, he could sense that these lightnings would not pose a threat to Shuai Guo, Moving on, Mo Wuji struck out a fist. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s only fist dao sacred art called the Domain Crushing Fist. The Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor was not a place where he could stay long so in order to leave this place, he needed to constantly become stronger and so do Shuai Guo. In just one fist, there seemed to be extra ripples in the space in front of him. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes lit up because he was well aware of how this Domain Crushing Fist could crush domains. Previously, his Domain Crushing Fist could split his opponent¡¯s domain but it would never be as frightening as it was now. His fist could create domain crushing ripples. "Boom!" An oppressive explosion could be heard and the underground which was tens of metres away from Mo Wuji exploded while the firm rocks turned into nothingness. Mo Wuji clenched his fist tightly because he knew that this wasn¡¯t just a result of him getting stronger but because he had new insights and understanding of the Domain Crushing Fist after refining the Book of Luo. It was also because of his increased sea of consciousness which helped in the purifying and rounding of his sacred art. That violet lake within his sea of consciousness was indeed a good feature as Mo Wuji was indescribably impressed. He no longer tried to test his sacred arts because these few sacred arts were sufficient for the time being. Mo Wuji started to cultivate the Star Sea Technique and analysis his spirit splitting technique. The spirit splitting technique was originally created by Mo Wuji for his pill refinement but Mo Wuji was confident that such technique could be implemented into an attack to make it much more incisive than ever. He had his Zhi Nature Pill which he could use to cultivate his Star Sea Technique to condense his sea of consciousness and strengthen his spiritual will. Back then, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really spend proper time to research on the Star Sea Technique and only after proper analysis of it, Mo Wuji realised that this technique could be divided into five levels. The first level would be to condense primordial spirit so that one could use primordial spirit to control their spiritual will to attack. This was indeed frightening because Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t condense primordial spirit as he didn¡¯t have any. He knew that the primordial spirit was symbol to show the existence of a cultivator¡¯s dao body and that it could extend spiritual will from it. However, it wasn¡¯t that terrifying to the extent where the primordial spirit could control the spiritual will to attack like how it was stated in the Star Sea Technique. Most cultivators die when their primordial spirit was at the weakest which meant that if a cultivator didn¡¯t have a method to escape with their primordial spirit, they could only await death once their fleshly body was severely injured. Once a person cultivated the Star Sea Technique even if it was only in the first stage of condensing the primordial spirit, it would allow a broken bodied cultivator a chance to escape. The second level would be transforming the spiritual will into blades which was a true offensive use of the spiritual will. Transforming into blades was a simplified way of describing and what was even mightier would be transforming it into a sacred art. The third level was to split the spirit from the body. This level was even more impressive because once a person could split his spirit, it would mean that he could have a separate body. ¡­ Mo Wuji knew that he couldn¡¯t use this as an reference because he didn¡¯t have primordial spirit. His technique was entirely different from the primordial spirit technique because it was the reverse of it. Fortunately, he had his sea of consciousness and he managed to condense his sea of consciousness using the first level. Even without further cultivation, Mo Wuji was already in the great circle of the first level. If he were to compare the greatness of the sea of consciousness, even Grand Emperors might not be able to beat him. Not only did he have his sea of consciousness, he even had a boundless violet lake within it. The second level was merely the use of spiritual will so as long as his spiritual will was strong enough, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem. Mo Wuji continued deducing his cultivation sacred art and after Shuai Guo finished its tribulation, it carried on swallowing the deathly energy while cultivating using the green crystals. It had a feeling that its lord would leave once he was done with his cultivation. Because he really didn¡¯t want to continue staying in the Undying World and wanted to request for Mo Wuji to let him out, it could only keep becoming stronger to the point where he could be of help to Mo Wuji. ¡­ Cosmos Edge¡¯s biggest gathering area would be the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. Under normal circumstances, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza was used to resolve disputes or to hold large scale events. In the periphery of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza, there was a Dao Discussion Platform. Once you formed a feud with someone in the Cosmos Edge, you wouldn¡¯t be able to fight it off on the streets but there would only be two places you could go. One would be the West River Religious Order and the other would be the Dao Discussion Platform. Even though the West River Religious Order was a good place to settle disputes, the winner of the fight there would need to hand half of the loser¡¯s items up to the West River Religious Order and they would be the one to decide how it divided. Other than this, the winner would need to hang their name in the West River Religious Order. Of course, many people couldn¡¯t wait to hang their names there because of the many benefits that came with it. However, most people with disputes would choose to go to the Dao Discussion Platform. The Dao Discussion Platform was not a platform for two people to talk things out but a platform where only one person could leave. Whoever had a higher dao technique would survive while the survivor would keep everything that the loser had with him. There was also one more advantage to fight on the Dao Discussion Platform and that was the fame that comes with it. In a place like the Cosmos Edge, the more reputable you were, the better it would be for you. Presently at the surrounding of the Dao Discussion Platform, crowds of immortals had already gathered because two people were about to compare dao. It wouldn¡¯t have caused such a commotion if two ordinary people were to fight there. Today, one of the person fighting was definitely not ordinary. He was one of the Three Great Immortal Kings of the Cosmos Edge, Wu Li. He was a supreme talent of the Gods Race and was in the advanced Immortal King Stage yet was capable of killing an existence like an expert in the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. The person courting death against a talented Immortal King like Wu Li was a female from the human race. Chapter 777: Coming Out Of Seclusion Chapter 777: Coming Out Of Seclusion Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A tall and fair looking youth stepped onto the Dao Discussion Stage and the most eye catching feature about him was an extremely clear star shaped scar on his forehead. The youth merely set foot on the Dao Discussion Stage as his blistering and majestic aura burst forth. Discussions could be heard from within the huge crowd of spectators. "No wonder he is one of the Three Great Immortal Kings, I would definitely lose against such aura." "Ah, I¡¯m afraid you might even find it problematic to set foot onto the stage with such a menacing aura on it." "I¡¯ve heard that Wu Li had an extremely notable status back in the Gods Race and that even Immortal Emperors had to be polite to him. What was the Human Race¡¯s female called? Xiao Xiaoyu right? She is basically seeking death by picking a fight with him." "Don¡¯t speak if you don¡¯t know anything. It was Wu Li who challenged Xiao Xiaoyu to the Dao Discussion Stage and I¡¯ve heard that she offended him." ¡­ Among the various discussions within the crowd, a pale face girl slowly walked onto the Dao Discussion Stage as she was well aware that this might be her last few steps. Another female with big and beautiful eyes was almost tearing under the stage but she was equally as helpless as she watched as her Sister Xiaoyu send herself to death. There was no need to mention that her Sister Xiaoyu was only in the elementary Immortal King Stage, even if she was in the Immortal Reverent Stage, facing off with the Gods Race¡¯s Wu Li was simply courting death. If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely recognise the gorgeous young woman with big eyes. Back when he addressed himself as Da Huang, he acquainted with Yan Yuerong and the person fighting on stage, Xiao Xiaoyu. Whether it was Yan Yuerong or Xiao Xiaoyu, Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of them was very pleasant. Because of the increasingly relaxed criterias, even Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu were able to enter the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Watching her Sister Xiaoyu walked towards the arena, Yan Yuerong could no longer hold it in as she dashed towards and knelt in front of a young man spectating the match in tears, "Big Brother Gong Shu, please help Sister Xiaoyu. She would be dead once she set foot onto the stage." Initially, nobody noticed this man, who was standing and watching in a corner far away from the stage, but now that Yan Yuerong approached him in such dramatic fashion, all the attention was directed to him. The young man grunted coldly, "There is nothing wrong with them comparing their dao unless you expect me to disobey the rules of the Cosmos Edge? Screw off." Yan Yuerong was sobbing even more miserably, "Big Brother Gong Shu, I am certain you have the power to say something since you¡¯re the disciple of the Very High Heavens¡¯ Dao Emperor. Moreover, Sister Xiaoyu was also spotted by Wu Li because of you¡­" "Scram!" As Yan Yuerong¡¯s words got increasingly unpleasant to hear, the young man¡¯s kick sent Yan Yuerong, who was only in the Grand Yi Stage, flying. If not for the fact that one couldn¡¯t kill another person so casually in the Cosmos Edge, he would have killed this ignorant woman already. He, Gongshu, was after all a blood related disciple of the Dao Emperor from the Very High Heavens so how dare this Yan Yuerong embarrass him in front of everyone? By causing this commotion, everyone was now aware that it was because of him that Xiao Xiaoyu had to step onto the Dao Discussion Stage. With so many immortals from all the different races here in the Cosmos Edge, where was he going to put his face now that Yan Yuerong pleaded him in front of everyone present? Yan Yuerong got on her feet before dashing towards Gong Shuxiang in tears again. She knew that he was the only person who could stop her Sister Xiaoyu from stepping onto the stage. Watching Yan Yueronh dashing back to him, Gong Shuxiang¡¯s expression turned green and even before Yan Yuerong could speak, he said coldly, "Yan Yuerong, from now onwards, you will no longer be a cultivator of the Human Race. Because you and Xiao Xiaoyan created trouble for no reason and formed unnecessary enemies for our Human Race, I shall represent the Very High Heavens to expel you from the Human Race." Yan Yuerong was dumbfounded and her entire body froze in shock. Being expelled from the Human Race meant that other than awaiting death, she could only become an immortal slave. To make things worse, she couldn¡¯t leave the Cosmos Edge because once she left, she would be captured and sold off by someone else. Back in the Immortal World, she was a pampered lady of the Border Reed Mountain Manor. Her Great Grandfather, Yan Tian, was an Immortal Reverent expert who could walk freely around the Immortal World with her, Sister Xiao Xiaoyu and Uncle Qian. In a place like this, she was nothing at all. Back on the Dao Discussion Stage, Wu Li and Xiao Xiaoyu were already standing on both ends. Immortals, who were distracted by the Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s saga, had also directed their attention back to the stage. "Since you¡¯ve brought me the Xiantian God¡¯s Fire spiritual roots, I shall let you attack first," Wu Li didn¡¯t even bother drawing his magic treasure as he stared faintly at Xiao Xiaoyu. Xiao Xiaoyu stared intently at Wu Li as the energy surrounding her started surging wildly. "You really think you can self explode?" Wu Li raged as he expanded his domain and a blade radiance was slashed towards Xiao Xiaoyu. Xiao Xiaoyu, who was intending to self explode, started forming millions of red thread radiances as it charged towards Wu Li and the entire space between them turned roasting hot. Wu Li laughed at the sight of this, "Not bad, at least you have so intent. However, you are still way too far away from me¡­" "Plop!" Xiao Xiaoyu fell onto the ground and was already a corpse without any vitality in her. Waves of sigh could be heard from the crowd as everyone knew that even though Wu Li and Xiao Xiaoyu were up against each other on stage, they were of totally different calibre. Now that Wu Li finished Xiao Xiaoyu off in less than one move, everyone felt as though they hadn¡¯t seen enough. This was because everyone wanted to witness Wu Li¡¯s heaven defying sacred art. The pity was that even his fighting techniques couldn¡¯t be displayed, let alone his sacred art. A mighty energy was swept up from Wu Li¡¯s body and a green radiance flashed from his forehead¡¯s star shaped scar. In the next moment, he got off the Dao Discussion Stage as his ability to swallow spiritual roots had improved yet again. Today was also the day he stepped into the Immortal Reverent Stage. The short battle ended and everyone started leaving except for a corpse-like Yan Yuerong who simply stood there in shock. At this moment, even those immortals from the Human Race who recognised her didn¡¯t dare to speak to her. Everyone was well aware of her current predicament and how she was already doomed. Besides awaiting death, what else could she do in the place like the Cosmos Edge after being chased out from the Human Race? In fact, she would be fortunate if she died because if she wasn¡¯t lucky, she could be enslaved into an immortal slave with her spiritual soul detained. This would be worse than death. Only after a while did Yan Yuerong walked towards an immortal who was cleaning up the Dao Discussion Stage. As if he knew Yan Yuerong¡¯s intention, he sighed and said, "Hurry up and bring your friend¡¯s corpse away." ... Boom! An immense explosion occurred in the desert wasteland of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor as Mo Wuji walked out from the depths of the ground. During the 20 years of seclusion, not only did he perfect all his sacred art, he managed to create his Three Spiritual Will Arrow. During these 20 years, Mo Wuji was most surprised and proud not because of his advancement into the advanced Immortal Reverent Stage by using over two millions green crystals and countless of immortal pills. Neither was it because he perfected all his sacred art but because of his Three Spiritual Will Arrow. This three arrows were born after Mo Wuji reached the great circle of the self altered second level of the Star Sea Technique. Every arrow was condensed out from his spiritual will and every arrow could gather together the killing intent of the surrounding, lock onto opponent without a trace. The only weakness would be that the required spiritual will needed for this sacred art was too massive and even so for the sea of consciousness. For ordinary immortals who possessed such a sacred art, executing it would harm one¡¯s own sea of consciousness because the sea of consciousness was never made to withstand such terrifying pressure and frightening killing intent. "Master, are we leaving this place yet?" Shuai Guo ran over loftily because it didn¡¯t waste a single second of these 20 years. Presently, it was a Grade 6 immortal beast and only needed one more step to reach Grade 7. Despite how beneficial the deathly energy was to Shuai Guo and how fast it was cultivating, Shuai Guo didn¡¯t wish to continue. No matter how good the energy was, it was already tired of swallowing the same thing for over 20 years. "Go and continue condensing your sacred art because I still need a while more," Mo Wuji finished his piece as he threw out a pile of green crystals and a top grade immortal vein. At this moment, ordinary immortal crystals would have negligible effects on his cultivation unless he was willing to exhaust large amount of time. To him, the only effective items were the green crystals and immortal vein. With Mo Wuji¡¯s current strength, he was even confident of getting rid of an expert in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. Even so, Mo Wuji still felt like he needed to become stronger with a bite. He was only willing to go to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos when he reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. For now, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother hiding underground to cultivate because nobody would dare to attack him while he was cultivating in the desert wasteland. Back when Mo Wuji was cultivating underground, Shuai Guo didn¡¯t realise but now that it witnessed how Mo Wuji was cultivating, it realised how its technique to absorb green crystals was so much more inferior as compared to its lord. Over a million green crystals together with the immortal vein combined to form his pool of cultivation resource. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual circulation, it was directly formed into a gigantic whirlpool. All these immortal energy was surging into Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians at an insane rate. Presently, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to perfect hi sacred art so he could fully focused on cultivating. Even Shuai Guo, who was watching by the side, could see that Mo Wuji¡¯s energy was continually in the rise rampantly. In just half a year, all the green crystals and immortal vein was exhausted into nothingness as Mo Wuji let out a huge cry after standing up. He had reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. "Shuai Guo, let¡¯s go to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos," Mo Wuji chuckled and was too lazy to even draw his flying treasure as he simply wielded his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. The purpose of his trip to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos would be to establish his power, no, to cause trouble. Back then, Mifei Trade Union forced him to escape into the desert wasteland, forced him to self explode his entire Mortal Pill House and even tried to find traces of him in the desert wasteland. All these revenge and anger had to be settled slowly when he arrived at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. This was why he decided to fly over on his Half Moon Weighted Halberd to show his arrogance. "My Lord, I feel that we should first head to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square to make some big bucks," Shuai Guo landed excitedly on the Half Moon Weighted Halberd as it said that because it loved to cause trouble arrogantly. It was completely unable to do so throughout all those years where it was restrained in the Undying World. Shuai Guo was well aware of the benefits of the green crystals because if it wasn¡¯t for the massive amount of green crystals provided by Mo Wuji, it would never reach the ranks of Grade 6 immortal beasts in just 20 years by only absorbing deathly energy and immortal pills. Chapter 778: Robbing Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion Chapter 778: Robbing Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Haha¡­" Mo Wuji patted Shuai Guo on the head, "You¡¯re right. We are going to pass by Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square." He wasn¡¯t able to do anything to the other shops, but he could rake in some money from Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. After 20 years of secluded cultivation, he was left with not more than 2 million green crystals. He would need a larger sum of green crystals in case he discovered something good in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. "My lord is truly wise¡­" Hearing his suggestion immediately get accepted, Shuai Guo was so contented that its butt almost seemed to float towards the Heavens. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s following words instantly plunged it back into Hell, "Shuai Guo, I¡¯ve thought about it. During this trip, it¡¯s best not to expose you. You will stay in the Undying World. I will bring you out once I reach Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." "Ah¡­" Shuai Guo was instantly dumbfounded. It was so rare for it to be able to show its majesty and might and it had even thought of such an amazing idea; to think that his lord actually wouldn¡¯t let him out and play. "My lord, when we get to Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, I will suck anyone that dares to oppose us dry. The moment lord¡¯s grand halberd appears, those Immortal Emperors would be scared sh*tless. I can cheer and holler for my lord at the back¡­" "Stop it with your nonsense. Hurry and go back in. Otherwise, I will have to consider not bringing you to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." When it heard that Mo Wuji threaten to not bring it to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, how could Shuai Guo dare to continue with his nonsense? Even though his discontentment was enough to fill three oceans and four seas, it didn¡¯t dare to show it in front of its lord. It could only say anxiously, "My lord, I suddenly feel that there¡¯s nothing fun at Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. I think I will only come out once we reach Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. My lord, I think you should send me back to the Undying World. Even though my cultivation is already plenty impressive, I think I should continue to work hard, then I can be of greater help¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even wait for Shuai Guo to finish speaking as he directly sent Shuai Guo into the Undying World. Naturally, he understood the meaning behind Shuai Guo¡¯s words; it was telling him not to forget to bring it out when they reached Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t specifically picking on Shuai Guo. It was just that he believed that if he was going to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, he could not directly reveal his identity when he goes to rob Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Even though Mifei Trade Union had encircled and attacked him those years ago, if he wanted to get rich, it was best if he didn¡¯t give such information to his opponent. When he got to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, he could publicly confront Mifei Trade Union. However, he definitely couldn¡¯t let others know that he had already robbed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion before that. By then, even though everyone could guess that he, Mo Wuji, was the one that robbed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, he had to be the one on the moral high ground. No matter how impressive he was, he was only one person. In Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, there would definitely be plenty of Grand Emperors. Perhaps he could defeat one or two, but could he defeat a whole group of them? As long as he didn¡¯t reveal that he was the one that robbed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, other powers would turn a blind eye to his actions. Somethings are known by everyone, but he had to give everyone an excuse to act like they didn¡¯t know. ¡­ Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. The traces of that huge battle had already disappeared as the city square got rebuilt. Disguising himself as a thin man with his Dry Wimple Pill, Mo Wuji walked into the city square. With a scan of his spiritual will, Mo Wuji soon discovered that his Mortal Pill House had been rebuilt. What left him confused was that the shop actually hadn¡¯t been sold. According to the rules in Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, the City Hall would reclaim the shop if the shop owner doesn¡¯t return for three years. Mo Wuji guessed that the reason why his shop hadn¡¯t been sold to a new owner should be due to Teng Feiyan. Teng Feiyan probably wanted to befriend him, and it wasn¡¯t a huge loss to the City Hall to leave a shop without an owner. But if Mo Wuji ever did return, then they would have done him a huge favour. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t return back to his shop. Instead, he headed straight for Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Now that Mortal Pill House was out of the picture, Mifei Pill Smith Pavilion¡¯s business was not bad. The moment Mo Wuji walked into the shop, he started listening out for news. Apparently, the Cosmos Wall had just opened a year ago. "I have a supreme treasure that I wish to trade. I wonder if the Pavilion Head is present?" Thereafter, Mo Wuji went to speak to an attendant of the shop. "Take the thing out for me to see," The attendant said unhurriedly. In Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, treasures were commonplace. Even Tier 9 immortal herbs and Grade 9 smithing materials were frequently seen. There definitely wasn¡¯t a treasure that was extremely out of the ordinary. Even though Mo Wuji might call it a supreme treasure, this attendant believed that it was probably nothing more than some Grade 9 immortal item. "Pa!" Mo Wuji slapped the sales counter, directly turning the counter to dust, "Insolence! A mere attendant like you has the rights to see this Reverent¡¯s treasure?" Even though Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion had lost several Immortal Emperors in the battle 20 years ago, it still retained its might. Someone actually dared to behave so arrogantly in Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion? Although the City Hall was very powerful, it only got Mifei Pill-Smith to compensate for the materials used to rebuild the city square, and nothing else. Thus, this attendant was stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s arrogance. Even the battle between Mortal Pill House¡¯s Mo Wuji and Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion had been incited by Mifei¡¯s Pavilion Head. This was the first time that this attendant saw someone openly challenging them. Some of the other customers also got a fright when this happened. However, they soon regained their countenance as they left the shop excitedly. They prepared themselves to watch a good show. Which one of the immortals in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor was afraid of death? Which one of them wasn¡¯t a tenacious person who survived countless of wars under the Cosmos Wall? Naturally, they weren¡¯t afraid as they waited for the exciting show to unfold. "What galls, you actually dare to cause a ruckus in my Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. I, Yu Xing, want to see exactly how hard your bones are." With a cold snort, a scholarly man suddenly appeared in the room. He had already discerned that this thin man was merely an early stage Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji knew that the previous Pavilion Head was a late stage Immortal Reverent called Min Cheng. However, this person in front of him was an early stage Immortal Emperor. It didn¡¯t take long for Mo Wuji to know what was going on. Because of what happened those years ago, Min Cheng was probably punished. And afraid that another issue would happen, Mifei Trade Union dispatched an early stage Immortal Emperor to be the new Pavilion Head for Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Clearly, Mifei Trade Union had learnt some lessons from what happened those years ago. "I''m here to trade¡­" Mo Wuji didn''t even finish speaking before an immense Immortal Emperor aura pressed down against him. He seemed to be unable to utter another word. Yu Xing snorted coldly, "No matter who you are, no matter what''s your purpose, there''s only one path for those who dare to cause trouble in my Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion - Death¡­" Mo Wuji struggled to throw his jade box over and forced his words, "I will compensate for the damage. First, take a look at what''s inside¡­" A hint of contempt emerged in the corner of Yu Xing¡¯s eyes. However, the moment his spiritual will entered the jade box, his heart started to dance in excitement. He swept his hand and the jade box disappeared without a trace. "You''re stealing my item?" Mo Wuji''s expression changed drastically. "Haha, my Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion would steal your useless item? Since a mere ant like you dares to cause trouble in my Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, you naturally have to be punished." The rage within Yu Xing''s heart had long changed into elation; he didn''t think that Mo Wuji would actually bring out a primal fire crystal. Thereafter, a violent Immortal Emperor Domain enveloped Mo Wuji, sealing the space around him. Anyone that could survive in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor wasn''t an idiot. Who couldn''t figure out that the treasure within Mo Wuji''s jade box was far from simple? If it was an average item, Yu Xing wouldn''t even have thought of taking that jade box away. Even though everyone tacitly understood what was going on, none of them uttered a word. Mo Wuji sneered. Even though he could simply rob Mifei openly, he had developed the habit of finding an excuse. His powerful whirlpool domain instantly appeared; the space around them directly went still. Standing right at the centre of this space, Yu Xing¡¯s face changed. He exactly what was going on; his Immortal Emperor Domain was actually being grinded inch by inch. The pressure of impending doom loomed over him. "Stop¡­" Yu Xing only managed to utter a single word before he was suppressed by a boundless pressure. By this time, if he still didn''t know that Mo Wuji was a tiger acting like a pig, then he was the real pig. "Bang!" Yu Xing''s domain directly shattered. A burst of violent immortal elemental energy directly exploded beside him. Within the fog of blood, Mo Wuji grabbed a storage ring. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Immortal elemental energy started to explode within Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Several deacons and attendants were directly slaughtered by Mo Wuji, and all of their rings were swept away. By the time Heaven''s Beyond City Hall Deacon Lang Bi arrived, there were only ruins left of Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Everyone saw it clearly; Mo Wuji had come here to rob Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Even though Mo Wuji had taken out a treasure which incited Yu Xing''s greed, it was unable to hide the reality that Mo Wuji had intentionally come to rob the place. It had been a long time since Mo Wuji left, but the spectators still had expressions of astonishment on their faces. An Immortal Emperor was actually killed in a single move? Could that fella be a Grand Emperor? Or could he even be an existence as powerful as the Dao Emperor? ¡­ By this time, Mo Wuji had already reverted back to his original appearance. With Shuai Guo perched on his Half Moon Weighted Halberd, they sped towards Heaven''s Beyond Human Corridor. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t bring it out to wreck havoc onto Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, Shuai Guo was plenty happy that it could leave the Undying World. "My lord, now that you had just destroyed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, I''m afraid that people would be able to guess if you immediately went to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos." Perched on the Half Moon Weighted Halberd, Shuai Guo tried hard to make itself sound important. "You think that people wouldn''t know if I delay my trip to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos?" Mo Wuji retorted. He already knew that his action was equivalent to stealing a bell with earbuds on. [1] No matter when he headed over to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos, everyone would guess that he was the one that did it. Mo Wuji was very pleased with his gains from robbing Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. Just from that Yu Xing''s storage ring alone, he obtained approximately three million green crystals. Mo Wuji guessed that this was Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion''s fortune, and not Yu Xing''s personal fortune. Even so, Mo Wuji did not care. Besides these green stones, there were also copious amounts of peak grade immortal herbs and materials. Now, Mo Wuji''s total number of green crystals was five million. [1] This idiom talks about how a thief places earbuds in his ears as he tried to steal a bell. He thought that if he didn''t hear the bell ringing as he stole it, others wouldn''t be able to do so too. Chapter 779: Cosmos Edge Chapter 779: Cosmos Edge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Immortal Friend, please stop. This is the Heaven''s Beyond Human Corridor. No flight is permitted." Just as Mo Wuji reached the Human Corridor''s protective array, he was stopped by an Immortal Reverent. Mo Wuji wasn''t here to start a war; so he kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. On the other hand, this Immortal Reverent''s heart was filled with incomparable shock. The reason why he was so polite was because Mo Wuji was flying. Except for some extremely powerful flying-type treasures, it was basically impossible to fly within Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. However, this fella who did not seem to have a high cultivation could actually fly here. Even though this place was near the Human Corridor, it still wasn''t a simple matter. "I want to borrow the Heaven''s Beyond Human Corridor''s transfer array to make a trip to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos. Friend, may I ask how I can get to it?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. Right in front of him, was the Human Corridor''s protective array. When Mo Wuji arrived, he discovered that there weren''t any warning alarms; this meant that the danger period from killing human race cultivators had already ended. In reality, Mo Wuji wouldn''t be afraid even if there were warning alarms. His current abilities were even enough to kill Grand Emperors, why would he need to care about such minor things. After all, Mo Wuji knew that there were very few Immortal Emperors within Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. This Immortal Reverent was instantly stunned; where did such a provocateur come from? Was the transfer array something that any random person could use? If not for the fact that Mo Wuji could fly, he might have already attacked. Seeing the other party''s silence, Mo Wuji retrieved a jade token and threw it over, "I am a shop owner at Heaven''s Beyond City Square." This Immortal Reverent glanced at the name and shop inscribed within the jade token and his heart started racing. Was this fella Mo Wuji? Who didn''t know of the incident where Mo Wuji killed multiple Immortal Emperors? Before this Immortal Reverent could return the jade token, a message landed within the communication bead on his wrist. The message was simple: Not long ago, a thin man challenged Heaven''s Beyond City Square''s Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, killing Immortal Emperor Yu Xing and robbing Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. When he saw this message, this Immortal Reverent felt his entire body shuddering. Even though this Mo Wuji looked affable, he looked far from weak. By now, if he couldn''t guess that this fella in front of him was the one that robbed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, then he would truly be an idiot. "So it''s House Master Mo. Please enter. From here, you only need to walk straight. After you cross the Human Corridor, you will reach a huge plaza. The transfer array is at the centre of that plaza." This Immortal Reverent hurriedly returned the jade token to Mo Wuji and replied in a respectful manner. Mo Wuji had just razed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion and killed an Immortal Emperor. He didn''t believe that Mo Wuji wouldn''t dare to kill a mere Immortal Reverent like him. "Many thanks." Mo Wuji kept his jade token. His Wind Escape Technique conjured a breeze, and just as fast as the breeze came and went, Mo Wuji disappeared in the Human Corridor. Seeing that Mo Wuji didn''t lay hands on him, this Immortal Reverent exhaled deeply. He even felt cold sweat trickling down his back. This was the first time he had seen such a ballsy person; after killing four Immortal Emperors of Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, he was still outrightly heading over to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos. This fella''s balls was probably big enough to cover the sky, right? ¡­ In a mere half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji arrived at a huge plaza. Before Mo Wuji could even say anything, a Grand Luo Immortal came to him and said reverently "House Master Mo, please enter the transfer array." "How many green crystals is it?" Mo Wuji didn''t intend to act like an unreasonable tyrant. "House Master Mo is a revered senior. How could I accept your green crystals?" This Grand Luo Immortal''s tone became increasingly fervent and reverent. "Then, many thanks." Mo Wuji nodded. He knew that the person in charge wasn''t this Grand Luo Immortal. The experts within Heaven''s Beyond Human Corridor was probably worried that he would cause a ruckus, so they wanted to send him away as soon as possible. The reason why they felt that Mo Wuji was an incomparably arrogant and unreasonable thug. They didn''t want to give Mo Wuji an excuse to attack. Mo Wuji was speechless, but he was also too lazy to explain himself. With a simple word of thanks, he stepped into the transfer array. White light enveloped around him. In a single breath, Mo Wuji landed back on hard ground. He had landed on a huge floating stone. In the centre of this huge stone, there were three transfer arrays. There was a tall wooden pillar erected on the edge of the huge stone. It wrote: Heaven''s Beyond Corridor Transfer Array. There was quite a number of people on this huge stone. When Mo Wuji walked out of the transfer array, he saw two paths. One path headed to the Cosmos Edge, while the other seemed to be sealed. These two paths were floating in mid-air, and they seemed to extend interminably. Even though he could release his spiritual will back in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, he found that it was much easier here. Clearly, there weren''t any restrains on spiritual will here. That death energy which blackens one¡¯s dao foundations also wasn¡¯t present here. The only restrain was a divine sense seal at the end. Mo Wuji had heard of the Cosmos Edge before, but his knowledge wasn¡¯t in-depth. He only knew that it was a place within the Cosmos Communal Domain. Now that he was already here, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t go around asking further. He directly headed straight to Cosmos Edge. If Lou Si hadn¡¯t left yet, she should also be at Cosmos Edge. The distance between the transfer array platform and Cosmos Edge wasn¡¯t very far. With Mo Wuji¡¯s speed, he only took half an incense¡¯s time. Moreover, this was his speed without flying; if he was flying, he would only take two to three minutes, tops. A majestic floating immortal continent appeared in front of Mo Wuji. The defensive arrays around this immortal continent were definitely peak grade immortal arrays. Mo Wuji only needed a single scan of his spiritual will to know that it would be hard for him to escape if he ever gets trapped in this level of immortal arrays. Currently, he was still a Grade 8 Immortal Array Master. Even though he could see through Grade 9 immortal arrays, he might not necessarily be able to break through them. There were two aged words floating in the space above the array - Cosmos Edge. Mo Wuji only hesitated for a brief moment before he stepped into the array gate leading into Cosmos Edge. There were several powers within Cosmos Edge; he didn¡¯t believe that his strife with Mifei Trade Union would warrant the use of Cosmos Edge¡¯s array to trap him. If Mifei Trade Union was really that powerful, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to steal Mifei¡¯s business for an entire one to two months those years ago. The moment he entered the array, a wave of rich immortal spiritual energy swept towards him. Even though this level of immortal spiritual energy would no longer be useful to his cultivation, Mo Wuji was still inwardly shocked. Exactly how many immortal veins were buried under here? The level of immortal spiritual energy here was close to rivalling his Ping Fan. Wide roads and rows of shops appeared in front of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. When he saw this, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. There were indeed many powers here; Mifei definitely wouldn¡¯t openly deal with him. Originally, Mo Wuji thought that he would be surrounded by the men of Mifei Trade Union the moment he entered the Cosmos Communal Domain. What he didn¡¯t expect was that not a single person of Mifei Trade Union had appeared in front of him this whole time. There was also no wonder why there had been such a long delay for them to dispatch help to Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square those years ago. Still, Mo Wuji was sure that Mifei Trade Union would definitely come to find him. It was simply a matter of time. However, he was completely unafraid. In fact, if Mifei Trade Union didn¡¯t come to find him, he would be the one going to find Mifei Trade Union. Now that he had arrived at Cosmos Edge, there were plenty of things that he needed to do. The first thing was to find a resthouse to stay in. "My lord, this place is truly bustling with activity." When Shuai Guo noticed the liveliness of the place, it started to get excited and spirited. It really wished that Mo Wuji would say to it: You can go off and explore by yourself. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even be bothered to respond to its words. "Friend, are you House Master Mo Wuji?" A middle-aged man in green robes walked in front of Mo Wuji and clasped his fists. "That¡¯s right." Mo Wuji looked at this middle-aged man and answered calmly. In his heart, he was guessing whether this person was from Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. An enthusiastic expression immediately emerged on this middle-aged man¡¯s face, "That¡¯s truly too good. I am a deacon of Mifei Trade Union. Our Deputy Union Head wishes to invite House Master Mo to be our guest." Mo Wuji snorted coldly, "What kind of thing is your Mifei Trade Union? It has the rights to invite me?" The expression green-robed man¡¯s face instantly hardened. By this time he regained his countenance, Mo Wuji had already left. He stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s gradually disappearing back and sneered in his heart, If not because most of the Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Immortal Emperors aren¡¯t in Cosmos Edge, do you think a mere ant like you would have the opportunity to even walk in here? Even if you, Mo Wuji, were any more arrogant, you would have to pay for robbing Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Pill-Smith Pavilion. Half an incense¡¯s time later, Mo Wuji stood in front of a luxurious immortal resthouse. It was called Dao Listening Immortal House. He decided that he would temporarily stay in this resthouse. Just when Mo Wuji was about to walk into the resthouse, he saw a hazy figure of a seductive woman appear on the huge display screen in front of the resthouse. Below this figure, there were even some lines of introduction: "Peak Grade Immortal Slave. Gorgeous Appearance. Perfect Choice For A Pure Yin Cauldron. If you are interested in owning here, please attend tonight¡¯s Heavenly Eon Auction." Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks. A hint of fear suddenly arose in his heart; he actually felt that this woman¡¯s figure looked very familiar. At this instant, his hands started shaking. He was afraid that this figure belonged to Cen Shuyin. With Cen Shuyin¡¯s stunning beauty, it wouldn¡¯t be strange if she was caught and sold as an immortal slave. Just when Mo Wuji wanted to continue verifying this, the image on the screen changed. Now, it was the image of a scroll. Below the scroll, it wrote: "Peak Grade Water Escape Sacred Art. If you wish to possess this sacred art, you can head to¡­" "This senior, are you looking for a place to stay?" At this moment, a witty looking attendant appeared in front of Mo Wuji and asked respectfully. "That¡¯s right." Mo Wuji forcefully calmed himself down. He knew that he could disregard average Immortal Emperors, but he still didn¡¯t have the power to challenge the entire Cosmos Edge. No matter how fearful, how angry and how worried he felt, he could only suppress it. Moreover, that figure was hazy; so he could not confirm that it was Cen Shuyin. And if it was Cen Shuyin, then it was even more pertinent that he had to be calm. Otherwise, not only would he be unable to save her, he would also be landing himself in a disaster. Even though there were a myriad of powers within Cosmos Edge, he would still be encircled if he publicly disrupted an auction. Hearing that Mo Wuji wanted a place to stay, this attendant instantly got spirited, "Senior has made the right choice. Our Dao Listening Immortal House is definitely the number one immortal resthouse in the entire Cosmos Edge¡­" "I want a relatively spacious room. Also, send me an introductory jade token of Cosmos Edge. Oh right, I also want a ticket for tonight¡¯s Heavenly Eon Auction." Mo Wuji directly interrupted this attendant¡¯s words. As he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s list of demands, a blank expression appeared on this attendant¡¯s face. After some time, he finally reacted, "Senior, because there are many good things in the coming Heavenly Eon Auction, it is very had to get entrance tickets. The ticket for an ordinary seat would already require 500 green crystals¡­" Chapter 780: Immortal Slave Chapter 780: Immortal Slave Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji cursed in his heart, this price was indeed very steep. He remembered when he used to treat every single green crystal like a treasure; now, a simple entrance ticket already needed 500 of said green crystals. Don¡¯t simply look at his millions of green crystals. He only had that much because he earned them as a Pill Emperor, and because he just robbed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion. For an average immortal in Cosmos Edge, 500 green crystals was truly a lot. "What¡¯s the price of a good room?" Mo Wuji interrupted the attendant¡¯s words again, "20 green crystals for a night. It is rich in immortal spiritual energy and it overlooks half of Cosmos Edge. In the room, there are two cultivation rooms and an auxiliary room. Of course, there are cheaper options. For example, there are rooms which cost 10 or 5 green crystals a night¡­" This attendant could tell that Mo Wuji seemed like a hot-tempered person; so he said all these words in a single breath. Indeed, an average person couldn¡¯t afford to stay here. Back in Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, people only needed 10 green crystals as a down payment for his services. However, Mo Wuji did not mind. These thousands of green crystals weren¡¯t vital for his cultivation. After this attendant finished speaking, he retrieved 1150 green crystals and said, "I want an entrance ticket near to the front of the auction. Also, I want to stay in the room which costs 20 green crystals a night for a month. The remaining 50 green crystals are your tip." "Ah¡­" This attendant was instantly enveloped in joy. However, he quickly reacted and hurriedly kept the green crystals as he said respectfully, "Senior, you can rest assured. I will arrange everything properly for senior." 50 green crystals. This was the biggest tip that he had ever gotten. ¡­ This attendant wasn¡¯t lying. Not only did he help Mo Wuji get a relatively good room in Dao Listening Immortal House, he also helped Mo Wuji get a seat in the first 30 rows of the auction. The moment Mo Wuji entered the room, he immediately modified the seals and arrays protecting the room. Thereafter, he headed for the auction together with Shuai Guo. Even though there were still two to four hours before the auction began, he couldn¡¯t help but feel anxious. If not because of his insufficient abilities, he would have directly gone and questioned the auction. If the immortal slave was really Cen Shuyin, then he would have immediately attacked. The auction site was shaped like a cone; right at the centre, there was a huge jade stage. The items displayed on the jade stage which could be seen clearly in all directions. The auction had yet to start. Thus, Mo Wuji spent the time browsing through the introductory jade letter of Cosmos Edge. Within an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of Cosmos Edge. There were hundreds of races gathered here in Cosmos Edge. It¡¯s rumoured that this is the entrance to a higher world. If an Immortal Emperor wishes to take a step further in his cultivation, he could only leave from here. Otherwise, due to the low-levelled Laws of this world, even the most talented cultivators couldn¡¯t reach a higher level. There were several strong races in Cosmos Edge. There were the Demon Race, the Gods Race, the Devil Race, the Barbarian Race, the Vampiric Race, the Sea Race, the Spiritual Race, etc. The Human Race used to be one of these strong races. However, because of continuous defeat in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, it had lost most of its territory. Now, it doesn¡¯t even have an encampment in Cosmos Edge. It only has a Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. It had thoroughly dropped to the ranks of inferior races. Besides the Cosmos Wall, which he already knew of, there were also other sources of cultivation resources and treasures here in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. They were the Shattered Ruins outside the cosmos and the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Secret Realm. In comparison, the items from the Cosmos Wall were the most ordinary. By most ordinary, it didn¡¯t mean that the things from the Cosmos Wall were of low value. Instead, there were no inferior items here, and the items from the Cosmos Wall were simply the most ordinary ones of the lot. On the other hand, a majority of the best treasures came from the Shattered Ruins. It¡¯s rumoured that even Xiantian treasures had appeared in the Shattered Ruins. It was also specially stated that to survive in Cosmos Edge, one must not offend several powers. Besides the strong races, there were also some trade unions, city squares, organisations, etc. Apparently, Mifei Trade Union was among this list of "Powers that could not be offended". Mo Wuji frowned as he kept the jade letter. He wasn¡¯t afraid of Mifei Trade Union. He was currently at the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage; the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage was just a step away. Even if there was a Grand Emperor, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid. However, Mo Wuji was clear that it was still a long road till he became a peak expert here. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage first before coming. It was because he was very clear of his own Dao. Stepping into the peak of the Immortal Reverent Stage in ten years was indeed too fast. By this time, even if he had more cultivation resources, and even if he was any more talented, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage immediately. Originally, he wasn¡¯t afraid. Since he was by himself, he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He wouldn¡¯t even be afraid to enter the void. But now, he was really worried that the immortal slave on auction was Cen Shuyin. If it was Cen Shuyin, then he couldn¡¯t go according to his previous plans of openly antagonising Mifei Trade Union. Moreover, after reading this jade letter, Mo Wuji became especially clear that he had to be prudent here in Cosmos Edge. He could only act if someone else was the one that challenged him and laid hands on him first. After some time, Mo Wuji sighed. His power was truly not enough. Even though his cultivation speed was heaven-defying to the point where it could not get any better, he could not help but feel his deficiencies at this moment. As time passed, more people entered the auction venue. Soon, the seats around Mo Wuji were filled with cultivators of varying auras. After another incense¡¯s time, the jade stage in the middle of the auction site lit up. A pretty woman in a green dress walked onto the stage. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to use his spiritual will to know that this woman¡¯s cultivation was merely in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. "Welcome esteemed guests from all corners of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos to our Heavenly Eon Auction. I am Yi Luo¡¯Er, the auctioneer for today¡¯s auction. Today is the biggest auction that our Heavenly Eon Trade Union will be hosting this year. This is because the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Secret Realm had just closed. Thus, we are sure that there will be plenty of pleasant surprises for everyone." When Yi Luo¡¯Er finished speaking, she bowed. The auction site went quiet. Even without Yi Luo¡¯Er mentioning it, everyone knew that there was going to be loads of goodies in this auction. They only needed to see the ubiquitous advertisements to know that. Mo Wuji forcefully calmed himself down. He wasn¡¯t here for treasures. "This auction primarily accepts bids of green crystals and high-grade immortal veins. We don¡¯t accept immortal crystals. Now, let¡¯s start the bid for our first item, a sacred art. This sacred art¡¯s name is Dual Layered Waves¡­" Just as Yi Luo¡¯Er mentioned the name of the sacred art, Mo Wuji heard slight sounds of discussion within the crowd. Even though he had never heard of it, he could also guess that this sacred art¡¯s origins should not be simple. Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s following words promptly quelled Mo Wuji¡¯s doubts, "I believe that many of you know who this sacred art belonged to. That¡¯s right, it belonged to Grand Emperor Zhan Peng, the number one expert of the Sea Race those years ago. With this sacred art, one would be able to display a might capable of overturning the oceans. The starting price for this sacred art is 10,000 green crystals, each increment must be no less than 1,000." "11,000¡­" "12,000...." Just when Mo Wuji was wondering what happened to this Grand Emperor Zhan Peng that he had to sell his signature sacred art, the price had already surged to 30,000 green crystals. Even though he had over 5 million green crystals, he knew that he wasn¡¯t extremely rich when he heard these people bidding. Eventually, this sacred art was sold for 37,000 green crystals. Another jade box was transferred in front of Yi Luo¡¯Er. Yi Luo¡¯Er raised the jade box and announced in a loud and crisp voice, "This second item is extremely rare. I believe that many of you have come here especially for this treasure. This treasure came from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Secret Realm, it¡¯s a pair of Void Illusory Wings¡­" Indeed, the moment this name was uttered, the atmosphere in the crowd went electric. Mo Wuji was also startled; he also knew of this treasure. The Void Illusory Wing was actually a peak grade immortal material. Even without the need for a smith, anyone could use it to forge a personal set of wings. When it isn¡¯t in use, this pair of wings can disappear. And when in use, it can appear with a single thought. It was an extremely useful treasure. Most importantly, the Void Illusory Wings could be upgraded. As long as one obtains a better treasure, it could be used to upgrade the Void Illusory Wings. Exactly which fella would actually take such a treasure out for auction? Exactly how short was he of green crystals? "The starting price for the Void Illusory Wings is 100,000 green crystals. Each increment must be no less than 10,000." The moment Yi Luo¡¯Er finished speaking, the price shown on the display screen changed rapidly. Within a short time, the price rose from 100,000 to 300,000. That¡¯s when it finally slowed down. Mo Wuji sighed, he also wanted this treasure. He was also able to afford these hundreds of thousands of green crystals. However, he did not want to waste a single green crystal before he got to see that immortal slave. Even though Mo Wuji guessed that the price of an immortal slave wouldn¡¯t exceed 10,000, he didn¡¯t want anything to go wrong. The Void Illusory Wings was eventually purchased for 370,000 green crystals and 6 immortal veins. The third item on auction was a peak grade flying-type magic treasure; its starting price was 5,000 green crystals. Eventually, it was purchased for 14,000 green crystals. The fourth to sixth items were either extremely rare immortal materials, or god equipment that exceeded the level of immortal equipment. However, no matter what came out, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t interested. That god equipment was snatched from within the Cosmos Wall. Even though it was considered a god equipment, it was broken. Thus, it couldn¡¯t even be compared to a peak grade immortal equipment. Clearly, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the only one who understood this. The pretence of a low-grade god equipment wasn¡¯t enough to get the crowd bidding at higher prices. "Now, we are auctioning an immortal slave¡­" Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s words caused Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes to instantly light up as they went glued to the stage. Actually, few were interested in the sale of an immortal slave. In fact, bringing an immortal slave out for an auction was completely a waste of time. If one wanted a slave, he could simply go to Cosmos Edge¡¯s immortal slave market. Why would one come to an auction? Yi Luo¡¯Er seemed to know that everyone was disinterested. With a smile, she said, "This immortal slave is no ordinary immortal slave. Not only is she an extremely beautiful immortal, she also has a Pure Yin Physique. Moreover, these aren¡¯t the important points. The important point is that this immortal slave has hidden water-type spiritual roots¡­" After hearing these four words, the originally disinterested crowd instantly clamoured noisily. Chapter 781: Where Did This Rash Dolt Come From? Chapter 781: Where Did This Rash Dolt Come From? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank. Hidden spiritual roots might never appear in one¡¯s entire lifetime. But once it did, that person would definitely be treated as a commodity. Hidden spiritual roots are the best targets for possession, and they also make the best cauldrons. As for the hidden water-type spiritual roots, it was especially able to curb cultivation deviation. Cultivation deviation was a common occurrence, especially when one starts cultivating sacred arts. During cultivation deviation, it was easy for one to rupture his veins and burst his spirit channels. However, hidden water-type spiritual roots were able to completely resolve this problem. But once the person with the hidden water-type spiritual roots starts cultivating water-type skills, the value of his hidden spiritual roots would completely disappear. No matter what spiritual roots this person had previously, it would be completely dissolved. At the same time, the hidden spiritual roots would become the sole spiritual roots of the cultivator, and quality of this spiritual roots was also very pure. Thus, when one discovers that he has hidden spiritual roots, he would usually choose to cultivate a technique that was of the same element as his hidden spiritual roots. Not only would it aid in his cultivation, it would also help in self-preservation. Once cultivated, hidden spiritual roots would no longer remain hidden. Yi Luo¡¯Er said with a smile, "I believe that everyone knows the value of hidden spiritual roots, especially water-type ones. The moment this immortal slave¡¯s hidden spiritual roots appeared, she was discovered. Up till now, she has yet to cultivate them." As she was speaking, the stage in front of Yi Luo¡¯Er started to flash. A girl in a blue dress was transferred over. All eyes landed on this girl; everyone knew that this girl was the immortal slave that Yi Luo¡¯Er was speaking of. "The starting price of this immortal slave is 100,000 green crystals. Each increment must be no less than 10,000. Let the bidding begin." Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s voice resounded. The moment he saw this female slave, Mo Wuji knew it was not Cen Shuyin. Even so, Mo Wuji sighed; he recognised this female slave. Mo Wuji remembered that this female slave¡¯s name is Yan Yuerong. She was a pure and kind girl. There was a girl, Xiao Xiaoyu, that constantly followed by her side. Xiao Xiaoyu was also a kind girl. Back when he disguised himself as an ordinary mortal called Da Huang, that Xiao Xiaoyu didn¡¯t try to steal his Draining Immortal King Pill. On the other hand, this Yan Yuerong actually actively tried to save mortals. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji had a favourable impression of Yan Yuerong and Xiao Xiaoyu and treated the two of them as his friends, just from Yan Yuerong¡¯s kindness alone already warranted his help. Even if he ran out of green crystals, he could find other solutions. But if a person was gone, she was gone forever. Yan Yuerong¡¯s expression was pale and blank; it seemed as though her soul had already disappeared. Mo Wuji knew that even if he saved Yan Yuerong, that pure and innocent girl would never return. He recalled Meditation Nunnery¡¯s Su Xi. He had personally witnessed Su Xi¡¯s change. Clearly, in this dog eat dog world, many values were gradually disappearing. In a short time, Yan Yuerong¡¯s value rose to 300,000 green crystals. The value of a hidden water-type spiritual vein was simply immeasurable. There was no need to talk about how beautiful Yan Yuerong looked. Even if she was used as a cauldron, she would already be very valuable. "This Emperor offers 400,000 green crystals!" An icy cold voice resounded from within an auction box. Even though it was merely a voice, it seemed to cause the temperature of the auction site to fall significantly. In that moment, the bidding started to stabilise. No one continued to bid any further. Mo Wuji knew that there were several reasons behind this: 1. The price of 400,000 green crystals was already extremely absurd; 2. Many people feared this fella. In this auction, one would only need to write his bid on a bidding tablet for the bid to appear on the display screen. However, this person publicly announced his bid. He was clearly telling others not to compete with him. Except for Mo Wuji, most of the people in the auction site knew who this icy cold voice belonged to - Leng Ren, the Deputy Head of West River Religious Order. This person had long gone numb from slaughters and massacres. He completely didn¡¯t place the lives of others within his eyes. Additionally, his West River Religious Order had a notorious reputation of being built on fresh blood. Everyone also knew the reason why Leng Ren was willing to purchase this immortal slave at such a high price. It was because Leng Ren had been heavily injured in Shattered Ruins, causing his spiritual roots to suffer irreparable damage. He only had one motive in purchasing this immortal slave - possession. Facing such a vicious person, no one dared to bid any further. Doing so would be offending an unscrupulous expert. Even though this was an auction, no one dared to offend West River Religious Order¡¯s Leng Ren. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to write "450,000 green crystals" on the bidding tablet in front of him. He did not know Leng Ren was; he only knew that he had to bid. Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s crisp voice resounded through the crowd, "Box 29 bids 400,000 green crystals. 400,000 going once¡­" Mo Wuji jolted. This was not right, he had just bid 450,000 green crystals. What was going on? Why didn¡¯t it appear on the display screen? Could his bidding tablet be spoiled? However, Mo Wuji soon dispelled that thought. This was not some electronic device; it definitely wouldn¡¯t spoil for no apparent reason. "400,000 going twice!" Just when Mo Wuji wanted to shout his bid, the price on the display screen suddenly changed. It went from 400,000 to 420,000. Mo Wuji frowned. He knew that this bid also wasn¡¯t his. The moment this new bid appeared, Yi Luo¡¯Er immediately said, "Someone has raised the bid to 420,000 green crystals. If there is no higher price, then¡­" "Wait, who is going against me, Leng Ren?" The icy cold voice resounded from Box 29 once more. A lazy voice could be heard, "This Reverent¡¯s name is Wu Li. You can fight me if you want." What left Mo Wuji shocked was that Leng Ren no longer uttered another word. Disdain filled Mo Wuji¡¯s heart; so this fella was merely a pretentious prick. "420,000 going once¡­" Before Yi Luo¡¯Er could call for twice, Mo Wuji wrote "450,000" on his tablet again. What infuriated him was that his bid still didn¡¯t appear on the screen. Mo Wuji had experienced far too many things. If he still didn¡¯t know that the auction house was pulling some strings, he would truly be an idiot. Clearly, this auction house was fearful of both Leng Ren and Wu Li. The moment these two started bidding, they prevented others from doing so. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with contempt. These people wanted to run an auction with this kind of balls? "420,000 going twice." "450,000 green crystals!" Mo Wuji did not hesitate to interrupt Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s words as he announced his bid loudly. Even though his voice wasn¡¯t as gloomy as Leng Ren¡¯s, it was also able to reverberate throughout the auction site. The crowd went dead silent. Who didn¡¯t know of Wu Li? Wu Li was a genius of the Gods Race; he was also an existence that could not be offended in the entire Cosmos Edge. Even a notorious person like West River Religious Order¡¯s Leng Ren didn¡¯t dare to bid against Wu Li. But now, some fella that didn¡¯t even have an auction box was doing so. If this wasn¡¯t courting death, then what was? Wu Li snorted coldly. But before he could say anything, Mo Wuji said in a loud voice, "Can I ask the auction house, why is my bidding tablet unable to show my bid? Why is the auction house forcing me to say my bid out loud?" Even Yi Luo¡¯Er was shocked by Mo Wuji. Where did this ignorant fool come from? He actually dared to bid against the Gods Race¡¯s Wu Li? "What¡¯s going on? Are my green crystals fake? No one is even answering me. And I have just placed a bid, why doesn¡¯t it appear on the screen?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was stern. He didn¡¯t even acknowledge Wu Li¡¯s cold snort. He had already offended Mifei Trade Union. It¡¯s not much worse to offend another power. "Ah¡­" Yi Luo¡¯Er finally reacted. She hurriedly said, "There should be a temporary glitch with the system. You can place your bid again." In reality, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to place a bid again for his bid to appear on the screen - 450,000. Mo Wuji knew clearly that this was because he had come forward. Thus, the auction house no longer wanted to place restrictions on this matter. "460,000 green crystals." The bid on the screen flashed when Wu Li¡¯s voice was uttered. "That fella that just bid, your balls are pretty fat." Why would Mo Wuji care about Wu Li? He directly raised the bid to 500,000 green crystals. At the same time, Mo Wuji felt speechless about this Heavenly Eon Auction. It was truly doing a terrible job. If not for the great treasures appearing during this auction, Mo Wuji guessed that there probably wouldn¡¯t have been so many people." "Good. Ballsy. And rich." Wu Li¡¯s voice turned as cold as Leng Ren. However, he didn¡¯t bid any further. Even though he was the proud child of the Gods Race and a famous person in Cosmos Edge, it was still a headache for him to cough out that many green crystals. There was only one reason why he wanted Yan Yuerong - her hidden spiritual roots. If he devoured her spiritual roots, the effects would be no less than devouring Xiantian spiritual roots. If not for the rules of the auction, he would have directly used his status to prevent others from bidding. "500,000 green crystals going once, 500,000 going twice¡­" Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s voice was shaking; she was worried that Wu Li would flare up against the auction house. If that happened, then they would be screwed. Fortunately, her worries didn¡¯t come true. With a shaking voice, she said the final words, "500,000 going thrice. Congratulations to Row 28¡¯s Number 136 for obtaining this immortal slave¡­" An expressionless Yan Yuerong was brought to Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Mo Wuji used a storage bag to pay the 500,000 green crystals. Even though there weren¡¯t any discussions in the crowd, Mo Wuji could feel many spiritual wills scanning over. Not only that, many eyes landed on Mo Wuji. Everyone wanted to know who this impulsive dolt was. Chapter 782: Dao Discussion Challenge Chapter 782: Dao Discussion Challenge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yan Yuerong''s expression was plain blank. She was completely unable to recognise Mo Wuji as Da Huang. Mo Wuji only came to this auction for this matter. Now that Yan Yuerong had returned, he did not intend to stay here any further. Just when Mo Wuji was preparing to leave, a calm voice came over, "This Immortal Friend is indeed bold and courageous. I wonder if this immortal friend is willing to follow me, Wu Li, to discuss the dao on the Dao Discussion Stage? I, Wu Li, am officially inviting you to a Dao Discussion Challenge." The auction site went incomparably silent. Only the Heavens know how many talented immortals were killed by Wu Li in the guise of the Dao Discussion Challenge. Also, even an idiot would know why Wu Li was seeking Mo Wuji out for this Dao Discussion Challenge. When the blank Yan Yuerong heard the two words "Dao Discussion", she suddenly cried out in fear, "Don''t discuss the dao." Mo Wuji did not know the exact power of Wu Li. However, he was even willing to antagonize Mifei Trade Union. Why would he be afraid of one Wu Li? There was a clear rule of the Heaven''s Beyond Dao Discussion Stage: the challenger could only challenge someone that was at the same or higher cultivation stage. If a person challenges you, you must accept it, or immediately leave Cosmos Edge. You would only be allowed to return to Cosmos Edge after a hundred years. Mo Wuji was very clear why Wu Li wanted to discuss the dao with him. If he didn''t accept, then he would no longer have the rights to stay in Cosmos Edge, and he would be chased out. The moment he gets chased out, Wu Li would also leave Cosmos Edge and kill him outside Cosmos Edge. If he agrees, then Wu Li would directly kill him on the Dao Discussion Stage. Until now, Wu Li hadn''t even asked him for his name. Clearly, Wu Li already treated him as a dead man. "As you wish." Mo Wuji''s voice was calm, "I''ll see you on the Dao Discussion Stage." Mo Wuji could also guess why Wu Li was so anxious to discuss the dao with him; Wu Li was worried that he would give Yan Yuerong a water-type cultivation technique. "Good. You have some balls." Wu Li chuckled. Mo Wuji''s guess was right. The reason why Wu Li was so anxious was because he was worried Mo Wuji would really allow Yan Yuerong to cultivate a water-type cultivation technique. If Yan Yuerong started cultivating, it would be useless even if he killed Mo Wuji. "Next, we will be auctioning for a map of the Shattered Ruins. It¡¯s rumoured that this map leads to a peak grade Dao Fruit Tree¡­" Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s voice sounded out timely. Everyone was clear that Yi Luo¡¯Er wanted to divert the topic to ease the tension. It was true that the auction house couldn¡¯t afford to offend Wu Li. On the other hand, while Mo Wuji was some unknown person, he was able to take out so many green crystals and he was willing to stand against Wu Li, was he really an impulsive dolt? Mo Wuji had intended to leave, but Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s words stopped him in his tracks. Mo Wuji came to know about the Dao Fruit Tree only after he entered Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. When an immortal came to trade with him for pills, this immortal retrieved an introductory jade letter on immortal herbs, among which contained the simple description of the Dao Fruit. The Dao Fruit was an immortal fruit which contained the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Actually, its level might even surpass the ranks of immortal fruits. It''s rumoured that the Dao Fruit was a heavenly treasure that would raise one¡¯s level of enlightenment. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji already intended to make a trip to the Shattered Ruins. Even if he wasn¡¯t going, he wasn¡¯t going to miss out on this map to the Dao Fruit Tree. "This jade letter map¡¯s starting price is 50,000 green crystals. Each increment must be no less than 5,000¡­" "60,000 green crystals." Before Yi Luo¡¯Er could finish speaking, a voice suddenly interrupted her words. The originally restless crowd instantly calmed down. Even though the bid didn¡¯t appear on the screen, everyone knew who was the one who placed the bid. It was Gods Race¡¯s Wu Li. Wu Li had just been infuriated deeply by Mo Wuji. Everyone knew that even if they wanted this jade letter, bidding for it was simply courting death. Yi Luo¡¯Er had an unpleasant expression on her face. Wu Li was clearly flouting the rules. According to the tacitly agreed rules, Wu Li would have to wait before some time before he could bid; he could only bid after the 10th bid. But now, before anyone could even place a bid, he used his status to place a bid. This was a blatant breach of the rules. Moreover, this was his second time. At this instant, the other people of Heavenly Eon Trade Union were also filled with displeasure. However, they knew that coming forward to reprimand Wu Li would be going against the Gods Race. Wu Li would leave this auction, but the future days would not be good for their Heavenly Eon Trade Union. No one else placed a bid. After some time, Yi Luo¡¯Er said in a hoarse voice, "Someone has placed a bid of 60,000 green crystals. Are there any higher bids? 60,000 going once¡­" Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s heart was palpitating with fear. She realised that she was the one in the wrong, she should not have made the decision to start the next bid to interrupt Wu Li¡¯s matter. This jade letter was supposed to have gotten a higher price, but now, the price wouldn¡¯t rise any further. When this auction ends, she would definitely face a hard time. "65,000 green crystals." Mo Wuji¡¯s voice resounded. From his slow and unwavering voice, anyone could tell that if Wu Li continued to bid, Mo Wuji would definitely follow suit. Yi Luo¡¯Er was too afraid to utter a single word. The other immortals at the auction site, however, felt that this was normal. After all, the feud between Mo Wuji and Wu Li could no longer be redeemed. "Then I will have to thank you. You used your 65,000 green crystals to buy me a map that I really wanted." Wu Li¡¯s voice was still very calm. Everyone knew what he was implying. Even though the jade letter map was going to be purchased by Mo Wuji, it would still ultimately end up in Wu Li¡¯s hands. "65,000 green crystals going once¡­¡¯ Yi Luo¡¯Er¡¯s voice was trembling slightly. Actually, even her legs were trembling. She had committed a huge mistake during this auction. Even when Yi Luo¡¯Er reported thrice, no one placed another bid. Everyone knew that this jade letter was going to end up with Wu Li; so who would dare to raise the price? The jade letter was soon transferred to Mo Wuji. Just as Mo Wuji paid the green crystals, Wu Li¡¯s voice resounded from the exit of the auction site, "I will wait for you at the Dao Discussion Stage." When they heard Wu Li¡¯s words, many of the immortals left the auction site. These people all wanted to know what godly place Mo Wuji came from; to think that he actually dared to go against Wu Li. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to bring Yan Yuerong out of the auction site. He did not care whether Wu Li was waiting for him at the Dao Discussion Stage. He headed straight back to Dao Listening Immortal House. ¡­ When he returned back to his room, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need a minute to remove the seals on Yan Yuerong¡¯s body. At the same time, he popped a Spirit Cleansing Pill into Yan Yuerong¡¯s mouth. Yan Yuerong instantly sprang up. She stared at Mo Wuji fearfully, "Who are you? Where am I¡­" Mo Wuji chuckled, "You don¡¯t recognise me? Where¡¯s Big Little Sister Xiaoyu?" "Ah¡­" Yan Yuerong uttered in shock. She instantly recalled, "You are... You are¡­" She recognised Mo Wuji, but she truly couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. Mo Wuji said gently, "That¡¯s right. I am Da Huang. Those years ago, at Seaside Trade Union¡­" "You¡¯re really Da Huang. How¡­" Yan Yuerong realised that she was right. Because only Da Huang would call Xiaoyu as Big Little Sister Xiaoyu. "How did you end up in this auction? And how was it revealed that you have the hidden water-type spiritual roots? And where are Xiao Xiaoyu and Yu Qian?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Yan Yuerong finally regained her countenance. As she recalled her plight, she instantly started to bawl loudly. She had always been pampered well. However, her time in Cosmos Wall was simply hell. "Thank you, Big Brother Da Huang. If not for you, I, Yan Yuerong, probably even have the chance to reincarnate." Yan Yuerong kneeled on the floor and cried in an aggrieved tone. She faintly remembered what happened at the auction. Da Huang had actually become so powerful. Mo Wuji supported Yan Yuerong up and said warmly, "Come, explain things in detail. There¡¯s no need to worry." "It¡¯s all because of that Gods Race¡¯s Wu Li. He coveted Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s Xiantian fire-type spiritual roots. He wanted to devour Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s Xiantian spiritual roots, so he claimed that Sister Xiaoyu had offended him and he wanted to challenge her to discuss the dao. Sister Xiaoyu and I didn¡¯t dare to leave Cosmos Edge, and no one here wanted to help us¡­" "Bang!" Mo Wuji slapped the tea set as he said angrily, "That Wu Li is an Immortal Reverent. To think that he would so shameless as to challenge an Immortal King to discuss the dao." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s exact cultivation level, but he was the one that gave the Draining Immortal King Pill those years ago. He was sure that even if Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s talent was any better, she still wouldn¡¯t have advanced to the Immortal Reverent Stage. Back when Wu Li left the auction, Mo Wuji had scanned that fella with his spiritual will. Thus, he knew that Wu Li was an early stage Immortal Reverent. Yan Yuerong sobbed, "Back then, that devil hadn¡¯t advanced to the Immortal Reverent Stage. He could be considered the same stage as Sister Xiaoyu. He only entered the Immortal Reverent Stage after devouring Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s Xiantian fire-type spiritual roots. I personally saw him grab Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s Mind Palace¡­" "Then how did you end up as a slave?" Mo Wuji frowned and asked. By now, he already knew some rules of Cosmos Edge. Even though the status of the Human Race was low, and even if it was any lower, a human race cultivator like Yan Yuerong shouldn¡¯t have been placed at an auction. Even if people coveted Yan Yuerong¡¯s hidden water-type spiritual roots, they might secretly kidnap her. However, she shouldn¡¯t have been casually been put in an auction. "After Wu Li devoured Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s Xiantian spiritual roots, I went to plead with Gong Shuxiang¡­" "Wait, who¡¯s Gong Shuxiang?" Mo Wuji interrupted Yan Yuerong¡¯s words. Yan Yuerong said with a pale face, "He is the sixth disciple of Very High Heaven¡¯s Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. He is a late stage Immortal Reverent. Back then, he was also observing the dao discussion. I pleaded him to help Sister Xiaoyu. However, he actually chased me out of the Human Race. Now, I don¡¯t even have the status of the Human Race¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s face turned cold. He could guess the why Gong Shuxiang did that. However, he was a mere Immortal Reverent, why did he have the rights to expel Yan Yuerong from the Human Race? Did he see himself as the originator of the Human Race? "I will find that Gong Shuxiang later. Now, we will go to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Discussion Stage. I do want to see whether this Wu Li has some unknown dao that he could discuss with me," Mo Wuji stood up and said. Chapter 783: Yousve Encountered A Steel Wall Chapter 783: You''ve Encountered A Steel Wall Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Yan Yuerong heard that Mo Wuji wanted to meet Wu Li on the Dao Discussion Stage, she hurriedly cried out, "Big Brother Da Huang, you must not go to the Dao Discussion Stage. That Wu Li used to be one of the Three Great Immortal Kings of Cosmos Edge. Back when he was in the Immortal King Stage, he was already able to kill experts at the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. Now that he had advanced to the Immortal Reverent Stage, he could probably kill Immortal Emperors¡­" Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "No worries. Come let¡¯s go. I will take revenge for Big Little Sister Xiaoyu. Oh right, Where¡¯s her corpse?" Yan Yuerong¡¯s eyes turned red, "My storage ring was taken. Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s corpse was in my storage ring." "Do you recognise the person the person who took your ring? And when did this happen?" Mo Wuji asked. He was a very sentimental person. He had befriended Xiao Xiaoyu and Yan Yuerong under the guise of a mere mortal. This only made this friendship more valuable. He wasn¡¯t able to do anything when disaster befell Xiaoyu because he didn¡¯t know about it. But now that he was aware of the situation, how could he, Mo Wuji, simply ignore it? "It happened half a year ago. That person had an extremely fiece appeareance, and his entire body was shrouded in baleful aura." When Yan Yuerong thought of that man, she could not help but shudder. If not for her sudden awakening of her hidden water-type spiritual roots, she would have been tortured to death by that person. But it was also because of her hidden water-type spiritual roots, that she was sent to the auction. Mo Wuji nodded. This man was the one that sent Yan Yuerong off to the Heavenly Eon Auction. After getting rid of Wu Li, he would then ask the auction about this person. "Your aura is in disorder. It should be because you have not cultivated for a long time and also because your state of mind had been forcefully suppressed. I will go and discuss the dao with that Wu Li. Stay here and cultivate. I will leave this storage ring with you. There are some cultivation resources inside." When Mo Wuji finished speaking, he retrieved a storage ring and offered it to Yan Yuerong. The moment Yan Yuerong heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, she knew that was unable to convince her Big Brother Da Huang to discuss the dao. She did not hesitate to say, "Big Brother Da Huang, I will follow you. If I stay here, I wouldn¡¯t be able to calm myself and cultivate. I want to see Big Brother Da Huang take revenge for Sister Xiaoyu." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind. He knew what Yan Yuerong was thinking. Should he fail in the dao discussion, she wouldn¡¯t be able to escape the fate as an immortal slave. "Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s go." Mo Wuji casually passed the storage ring to Yan Yuerong. ¡­ It had been a long time since Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza was so lively. The reason was simple: This was the first time that Wu Li challenged a person to discuss the dao since he advanced to the Immortal Reverent Stage. Ever since Wu Li came to Cosmos Edge, the number of times he had discussed the dao with others was no less than a hundred. And every time, the dao discussion would not last for more than half an incense¡¯s time. It was because Wu Li was truly too strong. Heaven¡¯s Beyond Resthouse. This was the resthouse closest to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. Currently, there were two people at the highest level of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Resthouse. One was a bearded old man with a reserved aura. He looked extremely ordinary, just like Mo Wuji. If an average person saw this old man, he definitely wouldn¡¯t think that this old man was from the Demon Race. In fact, this old man wasn¡¯t simply of the Demon Race, he was actually a peak expert of the Demon Race. His name was Ji Ku. Ji Ku had stepped into the Grand Immortal Stage over a million years. Even though no one had tested his abilities, many believed that Ji Ku had already reached the level of the Dao Emperor. The other person was a clean-shaven man with a medium built. He exuded a refined and scholarly aura. This man also didn¡¯t look extraordinary. However, anyone that knows him wouldn¡¯t dare to show direspect. This man was Feng Huang, the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge. The reason why Feng Huang was so renowned wasn¡¯t because many people knew him, nor was it because he was the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge. Instead, it was because of his other identity as one of the Five Great Grand Emperors of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. In a place like Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, there were countless of various races gathered here. It definitely numbered in the hundreds. With so many races gathered here, coupled with the vast cultivation resources, Immortal Emperors weren¡¯t outstanding existences. Even Grand Emperors were in abundance here. The Five Great Grand Emperors of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos were naturally the five strongest Grand Emperors here. As one of them, Feng Huang was naturally extremely strong. "Keke, this Wu Li should have have struck against a steel wall. With that Mo Wuji¡¯s bad temper, it would be hard for that Wu Li to survive. He can only blame his arrogance for not investigating on the cultivator that he wanted to discuss the dao with." Ji Ku glanced at the Dao Discussion Stage, then he unhurriedly took a sip of his wine. Feng Huang chuckled lightly, "Brother Ji probably doesn¡¯t understand Wu Li. I¡¯m sure that not only does he know about Mo Wuji, he had even conducted a thorough investigation on Mo Wuji." Ji Ku jolted and he said suspiciously, "Those years ago, Mo Wuji killed two Immortal Emperors of Mifei Trade Union. Not long ago, he even killed Immortal Emperor at Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. This Wu Li is merely at the early Immortal Reverent Stage. What does he have to discuss the dao with Mo Wuji?" "Confidence." Feng Huang said calmly. "There¡¯s no need to talk about how Wu Li is one of the Three Great Immortal Kings of Cosmos Edge. In fact, I believe that Wu Li is the number one ImmortalKing. And who he is, is far from the arrogant and violent person that he portrays himself to be. You see, every time he challenges a person to discuss the dao, he did it for a reason. Every time he succeeds, his talent and confidence rises another level. Not only that, he has such a huge reputation within Cosmos Edge. Over these years, I have never seen a person from the Gods Race support Wu Li. Even so, Wu Li was still able to do as he pleases. This is shows that he, Wu Li, was the strongest in the Gods Race, and in Cosmos Edge. Clearly, Wu Li would hold immense popularity if there was ever a power struggle in Cosmos Edge." "That Mo Wuji is here¡­" Feng Huang also took a sip of his wine. He continued, "The reason why Wu Li dares to challenge Mo Wuji is because he believes that he is also capable to vanquiishing early stage Immortal Emperors, and that he is undefeatable among those in the same stage. Moreover, those years ago, Mo Wuji had killed Ou Zhaohe and Ling Rong with his killing array. This probably wasn¡¯t even placed in Wu Li¡¯s eyes. Unfortunately, Wu Li had indeed met the wrong person this time." ¡­ Feng Huang and Ji Ku knew about Mo Wuji¡¯s origins, as well as what Mo Wuji had done. However, many people in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza did not know about that. At this instant, Wu Li was standing atop the Dao Discussion Stage with his hands behind his back. In what way did he look enraged and arrogant? He looked like a peaceful man appreciating the beauty of a setting sun. "That fella probably doesn¡¯t dare to come, right? Otherwise, why isn¡¯t he here yet?" "He¡¯s just another fool. There¡¯s no lack of fools here in Cosmos Edge." "Senior Wu Li is truly too strong. Even though his dao discussions all end very quickly, I was always able to feel his powerful dao aura." "That¡¯s for sure. Actually, I¡¯m surprised that they didn¡¯t provide a handicap?" "That person is here¡­" The news of Mo Wuji¡¯s arrival spread rapidly. Soon, the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza went silent. Everyone¡¯s eyes shifted to Mo Wuji. As for Yue Yanrong, who was behind Mo Wuji, she had been disregarded. Yan Yuerong had hidden water-type spiritual roots. In the eyes of all these spectators, Mo Wuji was going to be easily killed by Wu Li, and Yan Yuerong would eventually end up in Wu Li¡¯s hands. "Junior Sister Yuerong, wait for me here. I will discuss the dao and return soon." As Mo Wuji walked over, the crowd consciously formed a path for him. Yan Yuerong inhaled deeply. Thereafter, she stared at Mo Wuji resolutely and said, "Big Brother Da Huang, go on. I will wait for you here. I am not afraid." Mo Wuji nodded. With a single step, he went up the Dao Discussion Stage and landed in front of Wu Li. In his heart, Mo Wuji was sighing with emotion. Ever since he started cultivation, he had always been fighting against opponents that had a higher cultivation than him. Today was actually his first time challenging a fella with a lower cultivation. From the looks of it, this fella was brimming with self-confidence. This fella actually challenged a peak Immortal Reverent despite only being at the early Immortal Reverent Stage. "If you are in the Immortal Emperor Stage, perhaps you would have some chance of matching me. Unfortunately, you aren¡¯t very smart." Wu Li spoke to Mo Wuji in a warm and calm tone. He did not have the same arrogance as he did back during the auction. Mo Wuji was utterly exasperated when he heard these words. To be honest, he had never lost against any other cultivator in the same stage. The person that was closest to him was Lei Hongji. Back then, the two of them were Great Circle Grand Luo Immortals and their battle resulted in Lei Hongji fleeing. So who exactly gave this Wu Li his confidence. Wu Li said calmly, "Cultivators at the same stage as me have never been able to walk out of the Dao Discussion Stage alive¡­" Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t be bothered to banter with this fella. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd formed a crescent arc in mid air and landed in his hands. He said coldly, "Banter can wait till you reach the Circle of Reincarnation. Half a year ago, Sister Xiaoyu perished here. Today, I will take revenge for Sister Xiaoyu¡­" A faint killing intent swept outwards. At this moment, Wu Li also took half a step forward, bursting forth with his domain. At this instant, the entire Dao Discussion Stage felt suffocating. So what if Mo Wuji could transcend realms and kill early stage Immortal Emperors? He, Wu Li, had just advanced to the early Immortal Reverent Stage. He was also able to kill early stage Immortal Emperors. Wu Li brought out a huge, gold stamp. In an instant, it covered the entire Dao Discussion Stage. Mo Wuji slashed his halberd, using his second move of his Four Halberd Strikes, Winding River. After twenty years of secluded cultivation, Mo Wuji¡¯s insights towards Grand Desert, Winding River, and Setting Sun were no longer as uneven as before. Now, his Four Halberd Strikes had become a chain sacred art. His first strike, Grand Desert, could transform into millions and millions of array flags. However, facing an early stage Immortal Reverent like Wu Li, Mo Wuji really couldn¡¯t be bothered to go serious. Millions and millions of array flags? This Wu Li was truly overestimating himself. If not because Mo Wuji knew that Wu Li definitely wasn¡¯t simple, he wouldn¡¯t even have used his Winding River. The silver Winding River cascaded down from mid air. In an instant, it filled the entire stage with a deadly white waterfall of killing intent. The pressure from Wu Li¡¯s domain instantly dissappeared as the killing intent surrounded Wu Li. Wu Li¡¯s face changed. This was the first time that he had been too careless. This Mo Wuji definitely wasn¡¯t only capable of killing early stage Immortal Emperors; he could probably slaughter Grand Emperors as well. In merely half an exchange, Wu Li knew that he had met with a steel wall. Even if he used all his methods, he wouldn¡¯t be an opponent for Mo Wuji. Chapter 784: Setting Sun Chapter 784: Setting Sun Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Stop, I am the Young Lord of the Gods Race. If you kill me, there''s nowhere under the skies that you can run to¡­" Wu Li shouted harshly. Even though he still had some methods to escape, it would be at the cost of igniting his vital dao foundations. If he did that, it would be hard for him to recover the talent that he worked so hard to accumulate. Moreover, he would not be able to devour spiritual roots to raise his talent. Additionally, he had already released his killing ace; his killing ace was Broken Sand. Within the void, there was an extremely rare kind of flower. This flower was called Broken Sand Flower. The Broken Sand Flower didn''t have a tier; it was an extremely beautiful flower that bloomed in the void. However, if it was refined into Broken Sand, then it would be an undefeatable weapon. Many knew of Broken Sand, but only few could actually obtain it. This was because this flower truly too rare. Broken Sand wasn''t a sacred art, but it was far more terrifying than any sacred art. This was a poison without an antidote. It''s rumoured that it didn''t matter how powerful you are, even if you''re a Dao Emperor, Broken Sand would be able to turn you into minute grains of sand. Thereafter, you will disappear without a trace as you scatter into the wind. This was one of the reasons why Wu Li dared to continuously challenge experts and obtain such a huge reputation. Another reason was because he was sure that he would be able to escape. All this while, he had never met a person that required him to use his forbidden escape technique, nor had he met an opponent who he had to use his Broken Sand on. When Wu Li knew that Mo Wuji was much stronger than him, he cried for Mo Wuji to stop. That was also when he used that chance to release his Broken Sand. Even though Broken Sand was rare and valuable, it wasn''t as important as his future and his life. Stop? Mo Wuji acted as though he didn''t hear his opponent''s words. He had never stopped when battling G his opponents. "Crack!" It was like slicing through tofu; Winding River sliced through Wu Li''s gold stamp and ripped through Wu Li''s domain. How was this possible? When Wu Li saw that nothing had happened to Mo Wuji even after he used his Broken Sand, his face changed drastically. By this time, did he still have to consider whether he should use his forbidden escape technique? One spiritual root after another was ignited as his entire body started to turn illusory. "Pff!" As Winding River descended upon him, Wu Li''s illusory body returned to its tangible state. A fog of blood burst out as Wu Li''s tangible body was sliced in half. "No¡­" The decapitated Wu Li shrilled in grief. He didn''t believe that he would die like this; he didn''t believe that someone would be able to resist his Broken Sand; he didn''t believe¡­ However, darkness continued to sweep over him. He no longer had the chance to find an answer. Mo Wuji opened his palm, retrieving Wu Li''s storage ring. Thereafter, he shot out a ball of flame and burned Wu Li''s body to dust. Only a gold stamp, which had been sliced in half by Mo Wuji, sat desolately at a corner of the Dao Discussion Stage. Mo Wuji''s heart was also filled with shock. Don''t simply look at how simple it was for him to kill Wu Li. In reality, he knew that if he didn''t have the detoxification channel, he would have been screwed. To think that this Wu Li had a potent poison like Broken Sand. There was no need to talk about how this poison didn''t have an antidote, even if it did, who was able to administer it in time during a battle? The entire Heaven''s Beyond Dao Plaza went silent. It wasn¡¯t out of the ordinary for a Dao Discussion Challenge with Wu Li to last a single move. This was because Wu Li had always ended many dao discussions with a single move. However, that was Wu Li vanquishing his opponent in a single move, not his opponent vanquishing him. Immediately, many people thought about the aftermath of this incident. Even though Wu Li had never received any support from anyone in Cosmos Edge, it was because Wu Li didn¡¯t need anyone¡¯s help. But now that Wu Li was killed, things definitely wouldn¡¯t be so simple. Many believed that Wu Li had an unordinary status in the Gods Race. Now that such an unordinary person had been killed on the Dao Discussion Stage, how could the Gods Race simply let it go? If the Dao Discussion Stage was truly a fair place, then perhaps things might be simpler. However, even an idiot knows that neither the Dao Discussion Stage, nor the entire Cosmos Edge itself, was a fair and just place. ¡­ "So strong." With the room at the highest level of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Resthouse, Ji Ku was stroking his beard. He had completely forgotten about the wine that he wanted to drink. Beside him, Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Lord Feng Huang also exhaled and said, "He¡¯s indeed very strong." After some time, Ji Ku said slowly, "Even though this person isn¡¯t comparable to me, he¡¯s not far off." Previously, he already guessed that Mo Wuji would win. However, he would never have thought that Mo Wuji would win in such a clean and straightforward matter. He even intended to find some trouble with Mo Wuji after this Dao Discussion Challenge. Naturally, his excuse would be that Mo Wuji had killed the bisexual Immortal Reverent. Since Mo Wuji was so rich, he wanted to extort some green crystals from Mo Wuji. That way, not only would he obtain green crystals, he would also be doing a favour for the Gods Race. But now, he directly abandoned this thought. Even though Mo Wuji was not as powerful as him, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t much worse. He did not need to offend such a person for mere green crystals. Feng Huang didn¡¯t say a word. He was sure that Mo Wuji was stronger than Ji Ku. Unfortunately, that Wu Li had been too weak; so Mo Wuji only needed a single sacred art, Winding River, to defeat him. Feng Huang had seen this sacred art before in the recording crystal ball. Now that he had personally witnessed it, he started to contemplate on how he could avoid it if he was the one attacked by it. ¡­ "You dared to kill Young Lord Li¡­" An aggrieved shout could be heard as three figures charged onto the Dao Discussion Stage. On the surface, these three people looked like ordinary immortals. However, the moment they stepped onto the Dao Discussion Stage, their aura burst forth violently. Even the weakest Yan Yuerong knew that these three were all Immortal Emperors. Yan Yuerong didn¡¯t even have time to commiserate Xiao Xiaoyu before her face turned deadly pale. Three Immortal Emperors were actually encircling her Big Brother Da Huang. Even if Da Huang was heaven-defying, he was definitely going to die here today. Mo Wuji stared calmly at these three Immortal Emperors: two early stage Immortal Emperors and one intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. Honestly, this ensemble really didn¡¯t catch his eye. In his mind, he was only thinking about how stuck-up and arrogant these people were. On the Dao Discussion Stage, only Wu Li was allowed to kill others. If Wu Li was killed, then it was considered a crime. "Kill!" The three people seemed to shout at the same time. In an instant, multiple beams of light sealed the entire space. Below the Dao Discussion Stage, the spectating immortals all hurriedly retreated. These Immortal Emperors had broken the seals over the Dao Discussion Stage. Facing the sheer might of three Immortal Emperor Domains, the spectators could not help but retreat. Besides retreating, these people were also sighing. They all knew that Mo Wuji was screwed. With three Immortal Emperors surrounding him, it would be weird if Mo Wuji could survive. Moreover, these were Immortal Emperors that the Gods Race assigned to protect Wu Li. It would also be weird if these three were weak. Mo Wuji chuckled as his whirlpool domain flooded out like violent waves. Even though he was facing three Immortal Emperors, his domain definitely wasn¡¯t at a disadvantage. Unless, these three Immortal Emperors could merge their domains. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" As the domains clashed, immortal elemental energy erupted. There was even some dao energy which spilt outwards. Shock suddenly entered the three¡¯s infuriated hearts. It was true that their domains couldn¡¯t mere. But even so, they were three Immortal Emperors. But now, Mo Wuji¡¯s one domain was completely able to defend against their three domains. That whirlpool domain surged strongly like waves, forcing them to concentrate to prevent their domains from being shattered by Mo Wuji¡¯s. If their domains were shattered, then this entire space would become Mo Wuji¡¯s backyard. The three calmed down. They knew that Mo Wuji was able to kill Wu Li based on true capability, and not schemes or luck. If they continued to fight with an unstable mentality, they might find themselves losing. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even wait for the three of them to join hands; his halberd light transformed into a boundless desert. Waves of halberd light swept over, blocking out the entire sky. It looked as though millions upon millions of array flags had covered the entire Dao Discussion Stage. The halberd light within the Grand Desert continued to spread, then they rapidly transformed into waves of sand. These waves of sand directly penetrated through the three¡¯s domain and surged violently towards them. These three Immortal Emperors suddenly felt that they were in the middle of a raging and tumultuous ocean. Moreover, they weren¡¯t strong ships facing this violent ocean, but mere planks of wood. At this instant, they really couldn¡¯t tell whether they were facing an ocean or a desert. "This is an intent-level sacred art formed from this person¡¯s halberd light. Let¡¯s directly attack¡­" That intermediate stage Immortal Emperor was the first one to awaken from his daze. After saying that sentence, a huge stalk formed from his hands. In an instant, that huge stalk formed countless of vines which shot towards Mo Wuji. The other two Immortal Emperors also woke up. One sent a black flag which enveloped the space around Mo Wuji, while the other used a huge hammer to smash down towards Mo Wuji¡¯s head! This clearly wasn¡¯t the first time that these three were working together. Their actions were smooth and fluid. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert started to emit ripping sounds. The vines in front of Mo Wuji directly transformed into a huge vine hand. If Mo Wuji took a step forward, this vine hand would grab him. If Mo Wuji took a step backwards, he would be within the domain of the black flag and he would be directly smashed into meat juice by that huge hammer. However, a calm expression remained on Mo Wuji¡¯s face. He simply waved his hand and Winding River came descending down. That intermediate stage Immortal Emperor snorted coldly. He had seen this sacred art before. Even though it was very strong, it wasn¡¯t enough to heavily injure them. And even if they were heavily injured, they were still going to destroy this human race cultivator that killed their young lord. The Winding River looked sad and beautiful. Before it fully descended, it had already ripped the space sealed by the flag and caused that huge hammer to slow down. "Boom!" Grand Desert finally exploded. At this moment, there was no place on these three Immortal Emperor¡¯s bodies that were without injuries. However, at the same time, two vine shadows pierced through Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. A grey and deathly energy swept towards Mo Wuji. Even though that intermediate stage Immortal Emperor had been injured by Grand Desert, he could not help but be filled with elation. His God Vine was going to suck Mo Wuji¡¯s life force, then split Mo Wuji¡¯s body apart. However, he was instantly startled. Mo Wuji did not seem to be affected at all as he punched outwards. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s fist landed on that giant hammer. The bones in his hands shattered. But at the same time, the hammer was sent flying by Mo Wuji. That intermediate stage Immortal Emperor promptly uttered, "He has been sealed by my God Vine. We only need to protect ourselves, there¡¯s no need to attack him¡­" Before this Immortal Emperor could finish speaking, he stopped. He stared in aghast as a setting sun appeared before him. He felt as though his life had been fused with the setting sun. As the sun set, his life also came to an end. Chapter 785: Destroying The Dao Discussion Stage Chapter 785: Destroying The Dao Discussion Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Boom! The incomplete sun exploded. These three Immortal Emperors immediately felt their domains shattering as their dao energy seeped outwards. This person is too strong. We have to escape. This thought ran through all of their minds. "Kacha!" The wave-like sand suddenly exploded. Without the protection of their domains, the three of them were directly ravaged by the sand. The two early stage Immortal Emperors¡¯ bodies directly got destroyed. Just as their primordial spirits emerged from their shattered bodies, they were torn apart by the halberd light within the Grand Desert. That intermediate stage Immortal Emperor was slightly stronger. Even though the sand wave ripped through his body, he still had a chance to retreat. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t give him that chance; the vast and unending desert disappeared, transforming into a boundless beam of halberd light. This halberd light seemed to have torn space apart as a huge chasm appeared in the space between them. It was simply and undeniably tyrannical. The halberd light sliced through this intermediate stage Immortal Emperor¡¯s body; he didn¡¯t even have a chance to resist. His eyes closed gradually. Before he died, he wasn¡¯t thinking about Mo Wuji¡¯s final sacred art - Remnant Chasm. In reality, he completely didn¡¯t understand why Mo Wuji would want to use the Remnant Chasm Sacred Art. The moment that the incomplete sun set, this intermediate stage Immortal Emperor no longer had a chance to resist. This intermediate stage Immortal Emperor also wasn¡¯t thinking about what would happen now that the Gods Race had created an enemy out of such an expert. Instead, he was thinking about the very first move - Grand Desert. Grand Desert did not look as terrifying as Winding River, and it wasn¡¯t as breathtaking as Setting Sun. However, when all three of them had their bodies destroyed by the halberd light within Grand Desert, he finally came to an understanding on Grand Desert. The moment Grand Desert appeared, it was continuously restraining their energy and staring at them. If they revealed even a single gap, Vast River would explode violently, directly turning their bodies to dust. "What a strong chain intent-level sacred art¡­" This intermediate stage Immortal Emperor closed his eyes. He didn¡¯t even release his primordial spirit. He knew that it would only take an additional slash from Mo Wuji to destroy his primordial spirit; it would be better if he directly sent it into reincarnation. ¡­ "What a strong chain of sacred arts!" When Ji Ku saw Mo Wuji kill three Immortal Emperors in such a short time, he exhaled deeply and sighed, "I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t be a match for him." Feng Huang remained silent. He was stronger than Ji Ku, and his discernment was also higher than Ji Ku. He could tell that Mo Wuji¡¯s sacred arts were chain intent-level sacred arts, and not merely a chain of sacred arts. "Brother Feng, that Mo Wuji completely didn¡¯t need to use his fourth sacred art to kill the last person. So why did he still choose to reveal his sacred art?" Ji Ku asked curiously. In his eyes, Mo Wuji¡¯s chain of Grand Desert, Winding River and Setting Sun had already killed two Immortal Emperors, and left the final one with only a single breath. At this time, using his fourth sacred art would be unnecessarily revealing his methods. This didn¡¯t seem compatible with his reputation. Feng Huang sighed and said, "Take a look¡­" Even without Feng Huang saying it, Ji Ku had already taken a look. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s Remnant Chasm, the Dao Discussion Stage had been directly reduced into ruins. "I understand," Ji Ku said in aghast. Feng Huang said helplessly, "He is clearly showing his disdain of Cosmos Edge, for creating such an unworthy Dao Discussion Stage. Thus, he made use of his final halberd strike to turn this Dao Discussion Stage into dust. It was true that Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Discussion Stage didn¡¯t deserve its name. Otherwise, someone would have stopped those three Immortal Emperors of the Gods Race from encircling Mo Wuji. "This¡­" Ji Ku was speechless as he stared at the remnants of the Dao Discussion Stage, "Isn¡¯t he afraid creating too many enemies in Cosmos Edge? He even dares to destroy the Dao Discussion Stage?" Feng Huang said bitter, "Tell me, does he look like a person afraid of offending others?" Ji Ku understood Feng Huang¡¯s feelings. Feng Huang was, after all, the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge. Mo Wuji¡¯s actions were simply a slap to his face. "That¡¯s true. This person killed several Immortal Emperors of Mifei Trade Union, but he still dares to come to Cosmos Edge. This shows that he is a very bold person. If that¡¯s not true, he wouldn¡¯t have killed Wu Li. Brother Feng, if you went against him, would you be able to restrain him?" When he finished speaking, Ji Ku turned to look at Feng Huang. Feng Huang shook his head, "I¡¯m not confident. If there¡¯s no need for it, I suggest that Brother Ji doesn¡¯t allow the Demon Race to offend him. Unless you are able to kill him at a single shot, you would only be creating boundless disaster for the Demon Race." "I know. Actually, I believe that he also understands a bit about rules. Otherwise, he would have long stormed Mifei Trade Union." Ji Ku nodded his head. Feng Huang laughed coldly, "I¡¯m sure that he would cause a ruckus at Mifei Trade Union soon." "Why?" Ji Ku looked at Feng Huang in confusion. Logically, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to wait till now to deal with Mifei Trade Union. He could have done so the moment he reached Cosmos Edge. "Because he has a reason now," Feng Huang said calmly. Ji Ku didn¡¯t ask any further; he also understood what was going on. If Cosmos Edge really cares about rules, then those Immortal Emperors wouldn¡¯t have been allowed to surround Mo Wuji after he killed Wu Li. Since that¡¯s the case, it demonstrated that Cosmos Edge didn¡¯t even care about rules. Consequently, there¡¯s no need for him, Mo Wuji, to be afraid of rules. Ji Ku suddenly felt a chill. He finally understood why Mo Wuji decided to use his final sacred art to destroy the Dao Discussion Stage: 1. He wanted to test Cosmos Edge¡¯s bottom line; 2. He wanted to let everyone know not to offend him; 3. He wanted to give off the impression of a thug; since he was a thug, it was simply natural for him to cause trouble for Mifei Trade Union since they had offended him. ¡­ Even though there were many people in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza, it was dead silent. Many of those that didn¡¯t know about Mo Wuji were currently inquiring about him. Mo Wuji opened his palm and collected the three storage rings. At the same time, he grabbed that life-sucking vine and casually removed the spiritual will imprints on it. Then he threw it directly in his storage ring. If not for his vitality channel, that vine would really have been able to restrain him. The moment he gets restrained, he could only wait for death. There was no need to talk about this vine, even that previous Broken Sand Poison had left Mo Wuji feeling trepidations. Indeed, in the vast cosmos, there were countless of experts and countless of methods. He might have the vitality and detoxification channel to deal with some methods. But what if there was a method that he couldn¡¯t deal with? The Gods Race was one of the reigning races in Cosmos Edge. It would definitely have many Grand Emperors. If those Grand Emperors gathered at Cosmos Edge to trap him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape even if he had three heads and six arms. It was exactly because he knew that his abilities were insufficient that he used his final sacred art to destroy this unworthy Dao Discussion Stage. After destroying this Dao Discussion Stage, he would immediately head over to Mifei Trade Union. He knew that Cosmos Edge wasn¡¯t a place that he could stay for long. Since he had to leave, then why shouldn¡¯t he rob some money before he leaves? "Brother Da Huang." Seeing Mo Wuji walk out from the shattered Dao Discussion Stage, Yan Yuerong hurriedly went to receive him. Her voice was so agitated that it was trembling slightly; Brother Da Huang had really helped Sister Xiaoyu take revenge. "Yuerong, we need to go to another place." Mo Wuji smiled and side. He was too lazy to even return back to his resthouse. After robbing Mifei Trade Union, he would immediately leave this place. "Brother Da Huang, I will stay with you." Yan Yuerong had long seen Mo Wuji as her bigger brother. If not for Mo Wuji, she, Yan Yuerong, would have already been dead. "Alright, from now on, you are my younger sister," Mo Wuji said loudly. He knew that Yan Yuerong had no means of support besides him. If he wasn¡¯t with her, she would definitely die. Thus, he said those words loudly as he wanted everyone here to know. If anyone wanted to deal with Yan Yuerong, then they would first have to get through him, Mo Wuji. Even without Mo Wuji saying anything, the crowd had already started to disperse. There were some people that wanted to befriend Mo Wuji, but at this instant, none of them dared to approach him. Who did Mo Wuji just kill? He just killed three Immortal Emperors and a young lord of the Gods Race. Who would still dare to talk to Mo Wuji now? Wouldn¡¯t they be throwing themselves into conflict with the Gods Race? Even though no one dared to speak to Mo Wuji, many still had their eyes on Mo Wuji. They wanted to know where Mo Wuji was heading to now. Some of them even wanted to stalk Mo Wuji and see where he stayed. That way, when the experts from the Gods Race came over, they would be able to report it to the Gods Race experts and earn some rewards. "I think I know who he is?" Someone in the crowd finally cried out in alarm. "Who is it?" Multiple people asked at the same time. "He¡¯s Mo Wuji, the one that opened a pill house in Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square those years ago. I heard that he killed two Immortal Emperors of Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion¡­" "Yes, that¡¯s him. I also heard rumours that he destroyed Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square¡¯s Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion before coming to Cosmos Edge. He even killed their Immortal Emperor Yu Xing." "So impressive¡­" "He¡¯s definitely heading over to Mifei Trade Union. Take a look at the direction that he¡¯s heading towards." "Let¡¯s hurry and take a look. There¡¯s definitely another good show to watch. Over these years Mifei Trade Union has been earning a huge fortune from Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. They didn¡¯t even allow other pill houses to sell any good stuff. This time, they finally offended the wrong person¡­" "However, Mifei Trade Union isn¡¯t the Gods Race. Many experts of the Gods Race aren¡¯t here, but most of Mifei¡¯s experts are." ¡­ "House Master Mo¡­" Just as Mo Wuji walked to the front of Mifei Trade Union, a green-robed man hurriedly came to greet him. Mo Wuji recognised this green-robed man; he was a deacon of Mifei Trade Union. Back when he first entered Cosmos Edge, this was the man that stopped him, claiming that the Deputy Union Head of Mifei Trade Union had invited him. "F*ck off." Mo Wuji directly released a slap. This Immortal King deacon was directly sent flyings tens of meters by Mo Wuji¡¯s slap. He landed heavily on the ground and immediately coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. Mo Wuji instantly felt multiple spiritual wills land on him. However, these spiritual will only scanned him briefly. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart; Cosmos Edge was truly a marvellous place where people only cared about the snow right in front of their doorstep. (i.e they only care about their own business.) This was good; he liked it that way. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd slashed an arc in the air, forming a silver halberd light which sailed towards Mifei Trade Union¡¯s door. "Kacha!" The three gold words above the door, Mifei Trade Union, was directly reduced to ash. In fact, the entire door was turned into dust. Mo Wuji felt truly carefree. Those years ago, when he opened his Mortal Pill House in Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square, he didn¡¯t antagonise Mifei Trade Union, but they still tried to screw him. Today, he could finally collect some interest. "Stop!" A cold and harsh voice cried out. Thereafter, a middle-aged man in yellow robes landed on the rubble. This yellow-robed man didn¡¯t attack. Instead, he spoke coldly, "House Master Mo, why did you attack my Mifei Trade Union without a reason?" Chapter 786: Compensation Chapter 786: Compensation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji allowed his Half Moon Weighted Halberd to float by his side as he asked coldly, "Who are you?" "This Emperor is Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Deputy Union Head Ju Chuan." As this yellow-robed man spoke, he allowed his aura to burst forth. Even though he didn¡¯t want to fight against Mo Wuji, he wanted Mo Wuji to know that he, Ju Chuan, was a Grand Emperor. It was enough as long as Mo Wuji had apprehensions towards him. His Mifei Trade Union was also not willing to continue their conflict with a lunatic like Mo Wuji. What was a person that dared to kill the young lord and three Immortal Emperors of the Gods Race if not a lunatic? Moreover, many experts of Mifei Trade Union weren¡¯t present at the moment. According to Ju Chuan¡¯s idea, Mo Wuji would definitely have some reservations after he revealed his Grand Emperor aura. Thereafter, Mo Wuji would want to negotiate with him. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji, so he couldn¡¯t have known what Mo Wuji was thinking. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even utter a single word of rubbish as he, similarly, burst forth with his whirlpool domain. At the same time, he slashed with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd, conjuring a devastating halberd light. "You¡­" Anger and shock surged into Ju Chuan¡¯s heart; he didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji would be such a deviant of towards the rules. All this while, Ju Chuan had been rather contented with the rules of Cosmos Edge. Cosmos Edge was simply a place where only the strong were allowed to talk. If the weak dared to break the rules, then enforcers would immediately appear. Today, however, Ju Chuan had a newfound opinion. Mo Wuji had been behaving so arrogantly in front of his Mifei Trade Union. However, there weren¡¯t any enforcers being dispatched over. What was the use of such dogsh*t enforcers? Hurriedly, Ju Chuan brought out a copper mirror. Instantly, the copper mirror conjured millions of golden light on the mirror surface. "Boom!" Remnant Chasm directly tore Mifei Trade Union¡¯s defensive array apart and proceeded towards Ju Chuan¡¯s domain. Even Ju Chuan, himself, could see his domain shattering in front of his eyes. Explosions of immortal elemental energy reverberated through the air, and some traces of dao energy seeped outwards. Ju Chuan¡¯s millions of golden light were instantly scattered as a raging force of immortal elemental energy landed on his chest. On the spot, Ju Chuan coughed out a mouthful of blood and he was forced back tens of meters. He struggled just to remain standing. That single instant had caused Ju Chuan¡¯s heart to turn cold. Even though he knew that he was a Grand Emperor, he wasn¡¯t a match for Mo Wuji. Only the Five Great Immortal Emperors of Cosmos Edge could defend against an expert like Mo Wuji. The only thing he could do was try to delay Mo Wuji. If a huge ruckus and destruction were created here, people would definitely come. Mo Wuji knew that he had taken the initiative; so how could he simply allow Ju Chuan to collect himself? Taking another step forward, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd formed millions of halberd light. At the same time, a Spiritual Will Arrow began to condense in the violet lake within his sea of consciousness. In that single exchange with Ju Chuan, Mo Wuji knew that the only way he could get rid of Ju Chuan in a short time was to use his Spiritual Will Arrow. Otherwise, this battle would drag on for a long time, which was not what he wanted. Originally, Ju Chuan wanted to blast forth with his sacred art. However, at this instant, he suddenly felt the air around him turn cold; it felt as though he had been locked on by some deadly energy. Moreover, he actually couldn¡¯t tell where this deadly energy was coming from. The previous exchange had left him feeling that he was only slightly inferior to Mo Wuji. But now, Ju Chuan knew that he was completely unable to delay Mo Wuji. If that deadly energy was released, then he, Ju Chuan, would undoubtedly die. "Stop!" Ju Chuan cried out frantically. Mo Wuji completely disregarded Ju Chuan¡¯s cry. Why would I stop just because you asked me to stop? "Immortal Friend Mo, this is Cosmos Edge after all. I hope that Immortal Friend Mo can take into account of my, Feng Huang¡¯s, reputation and stop temporarily." A gentle voice came over. Mo Wuji jolted and that Spiritual Will Arrow condensing within his sea of consciousness gradually scattered. Just from this person¡¯s aura alone, Mo Wuji knew that this oncoming person was no weaker than him. If he had to battle this person, he would definitely be forced to reveal all his cards. Unless it was truly against his interests, he really wasn¡¯t willing to offend such an expert. Moreover, he didn¡¯t come to Mifei Trade Union to kill, but to obtain cultivation resources. In his eyes, Ju Chuan was merely a simple Immortal Emperor that could be killed at any time. On the other hand, this Feng Huang definitely wasn¡¯t a simple person. Not only that, he felt that this Feng Huang¡¯s spiritual will was slightly familiar. If he was not wrong, Feng Huang¡¯s spiritual will should have been on him during his battle on the Dao Discussion Stage. Seeing Mo Wuji retract his killing intent, Ju Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. Thereafter, he clasped his fists towards the oncoming man and said, "Many thanks, Dao Lord Feng." At a time like this, face was secondary. Ju Chuan knew better than anyone else that if Feng Huang hadn¡¯t arrived, then he could only wait to die. Mo Wuji turned to see the oncoming people: there were two of them. One was the clean-shaven man who addressed himself as Feng Huang. He had a refined and scholarly appearance, as well as the aura of a Grand Emperor. However, Mo Wuji was sure that this fella was not a simple Grand Emperor. He should definitely be much stronger than Ju Chuan. By Feng Huang¡¯s side was a bearded old man. He was also a Grand Emperor. In terms of dao aura alone, he was also stronger than Ju Chuan. Feng Huang nodded towards Ju Chuan, then he smiled and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Perhaps Immortal Friend Mo doesn¡¯t know me. I am the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge, Feng Huang. This is my good friend, as well as a Grand Emperor of the Demon Race, Ji Ku." When Ji Ku saw the battle between Mo Wuji and the three Immortal Emperors of the Gods Race, he already started to have apprehensions and slight fear towards Mo Wuji. Now with Feng Huang¡¯s introduction, he hurriedly took the initiative to clasp his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Immortal Friend Mo¡¯s sacred arts are staggering. Ji Ku is truly impressed." "So it¡¯s Dao Lord Feng and Immortal Friend Ji. Please forgive Mo Wuji for my previous lack of courtesy." Mo Wuji clasped his fists in return. He had just offended the Gods Race and Mifei Trade Union. Now, it seems like this Feng Huang didn¡¯t want to offend him; so he naturally wasn¡¯t going to offend such an expert. Moreover, this expert was the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge. "I¡¯ve long heard of Immortal Friend Mo¡¯s illustrious name. However, I wonder why House Master Mo destroyed the doors of Mifei Trade Union?" Feng Huang said while maintaining his smile. He was also feeling rather helpless. According to his intentions, he definitely didn¡¯t want to ask such a question. Even if Mifei Trade Union was destroyed, why would it matter to him? However, as the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge, he had to ask about it. "Dao Lord Feng, this person is arrogant and disrespectful. He had complete disregard for the rules of Cosmos Edge. The moment he came, he destroyed Mifei Trade Union¡¯s doors and defensive array. I plead Dao Lord Feng to stand up for Cosmos Edge, and to stand up for Mifei Trade Union." Before Mo Wuji could speak, that green robed deacon hurriedly came over and expressed his grievances. Ju Chuan¡¯s heart sank; he knew that things have gone bad. How could he not know what was on Feng Huang¡¯s mind? If the rules of Cosmos Edge were truly of use, then that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t have been allowed to destroy the Dao Discussion Stage. If Feng Huang dares to talk about the rules, then Mo Wuji would immediately mention the matter of being ganged up by three Immortal Emperors on the Dao Discussion Stage. This deacon was really a pig. If Feng Huang could easily be coerced by such words, then he wouldn¡¯t be the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge. The reason why Feng Huang was here wasn¡¯t because he wanted to help Mifei Trade Union, but because he had no choice but to do so. However, Ju Chuan also knew why this deacon said these words. This was because Mo Wuji had slapped all his teeth away, causing him to feel humiliated. Feng Huang remained calm. However, in his heart, he was laughing coldly: You actually dare to threaten me with the rules. "F*ck off!" Ju Chuan also slapped over. This deacon had just been slapped by Mo Wuji. Now, he was also slapped by Ju Chuan. His newly growing teeth were, once again, slapped out of his mouth. After slapping this deacon away, Ju Chuan didn¡¯t wait for Mo Wuji to say anything as he said, "Dao Lord Feng, actually, my Mifei Trade Union is in the wrong. Previously, my Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion saw that House Master Mo had opened a pill house in Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. Due to our jealousy, we provoked House Master Mo. Now, House Master Mo has come to seek an account for our actions. On behalf of Mifei Trade Union, I am willing to compensate House Master Mo." Feng Huang maintained a calm expression on his face. If Ju Chuan wasn¡¯t even willing to say these words, then he, Feng Huang, really couldn¡¯t be bothered to resolve this situation. Moreover, he knew that even if he were to personally get involved, he wouldn¡¯t be able to restrain Mo Wuji. If that¡¯s the case, then why would he want to offend an expert like Mo Wuji for Mifei Trade Union? When Ju Chuan finished speaking, he threw a storage ring towards Mo Wuji. "Ding!" Just as this ring was thrown, it landed back on Ju Chuan¡¯s feet. "House Master Mo, what¡¯s the meaning of this?" Ju Chuan¡¯s expression turned unsightly. At the same time, he was inwardly shocked at the strength of Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will; he actually wasn¡¯t even able to throw "Keke, he¡¯s implying that the things inside the ring isn¡¯t enough to compensate for Mortal Pill House." A voice sounded out from the crowd not far away. Ju Chuan¡¯s heart pounded. Could it be that this Mo Wuji was able to use his spiritual will to open his ring in that short time? Isn¡¯t that too terrifying? Even Feng Huang¡¯s heart was racing. There were seals on Ju Chuan¡¯s storage ring. It hadn¡¯t been that long, but Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was actually able to break through those seals? Feng Huang suddenly felt that he was still underestimating Mo Wuji. "Keke, that immortal friend is right. Those years ago, a tenth of the value of the pills and herbs within my Mortal Pill House is already more than these measly 300,000 green crystals. However, my Mortal Pill House was destroyed by your Mifei Trade Union and not a single strand was left. Could it be that Deputy Union Head Ju is bullying me because you believe that I have never seen green crystals before? Well, that¡¯s true. How can my small pill house be as rich as your Mifei Trade Union? A few hundred thousand green crystals would have left me excited and out of breath." As Mo Wuji was speaking, killing intent started to gather around him. It was true that he had apprehensions towards Feng Huang. However, if Mifei Trade Union didn¡¯t offer the appropriate compensation, then no one could blame him for not showing courtesy. Feng Huang didn¡¯t say a word. 300,000 green crystals were indeed too little. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s demand of 3,000,000 green crystals was also too exorbitant. [1] "I¡¯ll give it." Ju Chuan¡¯s face sunk as he threw another storage ring to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji saw that this ring has 3,500,000 green crystals as well as some Tier 7 and 8 immortal herbs. Mo Wuji accepted the ring. Thereafter, he stared coldly at Ju Chuan and said, "On account of Dao Lord Feng¡¯s reputation, this matter will end here. But if your Mifei Trade Union dares to find me trouble again, then you can¡¯t blame me for not behaving so courteously." "My Mifei Trade Union will definitely engrave House Master Mo''s words in our hearts," Ju Chuan said coldly. Seeing this matter come to an end, Feng Huang clasped his fists and said, "Immortal Friend Mo, I wonder if you¡¯re free to have a sit with me at a resthouse?" Mo Wuji was in a rush to leave Cosmos Edge; so he naturally wasn¡¯t going to waste time with Feng Huang here. However, before he could answer, Feng Huang continued, "Immortal Friend Mo, the experts of Mifei Trade Union and the Gods Race wouldn¡¯t return to Cosmos Edge for the time being because they have to attend to a matter." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded. Just when he was about to reply, he heard Yan Yuerong say, "Brother Da Huang, I just received a transmission telling me where the person who caught me is." [1] Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say it directly. I guess it¡¯s cos Mo Wuji said that 300,000 is worth a tenth of what he lost. Chapter 787: Notorious Throughout Cosmos Edge Chapter 787: Notorious Throughout Cosmos Edge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Where is it?" Mo Wuji promptly asked. "At the West River Religious Order." Just as Yan Yuerong answered the question, she felt like she had committed a mistake. Wasn¡¯t this getting her Brother Da Huang to offend the West River Religious Order? She had heard Sister Xiaoyu say that the Head of West River Religious Order was very strong. As she thought of this, she hurriedly said, "Brother Da Huang, I think it¡¯s better if we leave this place. After all, I turned out fine." "There¡¯s no need to worry." Mo Wuji gave Yan Yuerong a reassuring gaze. Thereafter, he clasped his fists towards Feng Huang and said, "Many thanks, Dao Lord Feng for your invitation. However, I need to settle some private matters first." Now that he knew that the experts from the Gods Race wouldn¡¯t return for a period of time, Mo Wuji was no longer in a rush to leave Cosmos Edge. He believed that Feng Huang had to reason to lie to him. After all, the two of them didn¡¯t have a feud; so there would be no reason for Feng Huang to screw him. "Immortal Friend Mo can naturally do as he pleases." Feng Huang had a gentle smile on his face. His demeanour was especially elegant. He had also heard Yan Yuerong¡¯s words. Even if Mo Wuji caused a ruckus at West River Religious Order, it wouldn¡¯t be of any impact for him. The West River Religious Order had always been a bellicose place, and its Order Head, An Xuecheng, was equally famous as him; he was also one of the Five Great Immortal Emperors of Cosmos Edge. Currently, An Xuecheng wasn¡¯t present, but Leng Ren was here. Compared to An Xuecheng, Leng Ren wasn¡¯t much weaker. Feng Huang was really interested to know who was the stronger one among Mo Wuji and Leng Ren. The immortals that came here for the show originally wanted to disperse in their own separate ways. However, when they saw Mo Wuji bring Yan Yuerong to West River Religious Order, they gathered back again. ¡­ "This is West River Religious Order. If you have no business here, then f*ck off." A grey robed woman blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s path. She still didn¡¯t know that the man in front of her was the infamous Mo Wuji. "I need to go in and find someone." Mo Wuji said calmly. This grey robed woman caused him to feel uncomfortable. Her entire figure was exuding a baleful aura. Clearly, this grey robed woman had killed many people, and it even seemed like she killed every single day. The look in her eyes was like she was looking at dead people. "F*ck off!" This was the second time this grey robed woman told Mo Wuji to f*ck off. At the same time, her body began to release heavy killing intent in all directions. Mo Wuji was very clear that even if he turned now, this woman will try to kill him. Cosmos Edge was truly a mystical place. There¡¯s truly no reason here. He only said a single sentence, but he was going to be killed. This time, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even be bothered to explain. He took a step towards this woman. This woman had only just wielded her longsword when Mo Wuji lifted his hand and slapped this woman across her face. "Kacha!" The sound of bones shattering reverberated through the air. The moment this woman opened her mouth, blood splattered out. Her entire body had been slapped flying and she landed heavily against the wall. "You crippled my cultivation¡­" This woman stared at Mo Wuji in disbelief. She, then, coughed out another mouthful of blood. Even though she was only an early stage Immortal Reverent, she killed people like she would ants. She had never shown mercy. She would never have thought that she would have been slapped flying and that her cultivation would have been crippled. At this instant, her spirit channels were ruptured and her sea of consciousness was evaporating. "House Master Mo, kill Kill-Girl Li!" A call cried out from within the crowd. This grey robed woman had an alias killed Kill-Girl Li. Within West River Religious Order, Kill-Girl Li¡¯s cultivation couldn¡¯t be considered the highest, but she was definitely the one that killed the most people. As long as the person is weaker than her and didn¡¯t know the rules of West River Religious Order, that person would die under her sword. Many believed that she cultivated the Dao of Killing. Only through constant murder and slaughter, could she perfect her Grand Dao. "Sister, your vengeance has finally been repaid in half." Among the crowd, a youth stared excitedly at the crippled Kill-Girl Li; he was so agitated that he was shaking. He had always wanted to kill this demented woman. However, his power was too inferior compared to Kill-Girl Li. "You dared to cripple my cultivation. You actually dared to cripple my cultivation¡­" Kill-Girl Li was still muttering in disbelief. This was the West River Religious Order, and she was the West River Religious Order¡¯s Kill-Girl Li, but she was actually crippled in front of West River Religious Order. Mo Wuji looked at this grey robed woman speechlessly. He really couldn¡¯t get it in his head. Where did this woman¡¯s sense of superiority come from? She could kill others, but she didn¡¯t allow others to cripple her cultivation? "House Master Mo, my Religious Order is indeed a place where you can kill. However, you would have to go to the Religious Hall first. House Master Mo is only at the doorstep of my Religious Order but you already tried to kill a person of my order. Could it be that you really believe that you are the number one in this cosmos?" A cold voice could be heard. Following which, an old man appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I know you. You wanted to purchase my little sister as your immortal slave during the auction. Now, you¡¯re coming to cause trouble for me. Very good." The moment Mo Wuji opened his hand, the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in his palm. He knew of this old man back during the auction. He was Leng Ren, the Deputy Order Head of West River Religious Order. "Haha¡­" Leng Ren chuckled loudly, however, there did not seem to be a hint of humour on his face. "Mo Wuji, my Religious Order¡¯s Immortal Emperors aren¡¯t here, but do you think that my Religious Order would be afraid of you? If you want to fight, I, Leng Ren, am willing to oblige." Mo Wuji said calmly, "I will say it one more time. I want to go in and find a person. If you make way, I will take today¡¯s matters as though they have never happened. But if you continue standing in my way, then don¡¯t blame me for attacking." It wasn¡¯t that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to fight. However, he could only depend on himself here and he also had to take care of Yan Yuerong. If not for that, he would have already slashed his halberd down. He even discovered that Leng Ren¡¯s body was revolving with death energy. Clearly, Leng Ren was a person at the end of his longevity. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to pit his life against such a person. Leng Ren¡¯s face sunk. Honestly, he didn¡¯t want to fight against a hot-tempered dolt like Mo Wuji too. He had just purchased an Immortal Shell Fruit during the auction which could allow him to extend his longevity by 60 years. If he used these 60 years properly, he would definitely be able to find a suitable body which he could possess. If he succeeds in his possession, he would no longer have to depend too much on the religious order. At this moment, he was feeling slight regret. He regretted leaving the auction so early. He should have continued staying at the auction site till Mo Wuji was done with his business. During Leng Ren¡¯s hesitation, Mo Wuji had already brought Yan Yuerong to the second floor¡¯s Religious Hall. The West River Religious Order¡¯s Religious Hall was extremely spacious. It was installed with grand spirit gathering arrays, causing the spiritual energy to be dense to the max. There were even some traces of the Laws. Mo Wuji only needed to stand there for a moment to know that this was a great place to cultivate. There were countless of seals. Within each seal, there was a cultivator cultivating. Except for those cultivators in the seals, there were also several cultivators at another corner of the hall discussing the dao. The hall exuded a faint bloody smell. Yan Yuerong whispered to Mo Wuji, "I heard Sister Xiaoyu say that a single word of disagreement here could lead to a bloody battle. Don¡¯t simply look at how those two seem to be discussing the dao calmly. Perhaps, at the next moment, the two would start flashing their magic treasures and start battling." Mo Wuji nodded. Thereafter, he threw out ten array flags and said, "Yuerong, take a look. Is the man who captured you here?" The moment Mo Wuji threw the flags out, the Religious Hall instantly went clear. Even the cultivators cultivating within the seals came to plain sight. "It¡¯s him." Yan Yuerong seemed to instantly notice that messy haired man. Mo Wuji looked at the direction that Yan Yuerong was pointing towards. Indeed, it was a fella that was brimming with baleful aura. He also had a fierce appearance. Mo Wuji only needed one glance to tell that this was a vicious man. It was just that this man¡¯s cultivation really wasn¡¯t enough for Mo Wuji to even look at. He was merely at the pinnacle of the Immortal King Stage. Even though the people in the Religious Hall were all vicious people, no one acted when Mo Wuji used his array flags to see through the seals within the hall. Vicious wasn¡¯t equivalent to stupid. Since Mo Wuji dared to do such a thing within West River Religious Order, it meant that he was definitely a peak expert. "Alright." Mo Wuji responded and extended his hand over. "Kacha!" This man¡¯s seals were directly shattered. At the next instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal elemental energy hand grabbed onto this man¡¯s neck and dragged him over. "I was cultivating within my seals. How have I offended this senior?" This man was originally cultivating in seclusion, but Mo Wuji had suddenly ripped his seals apart and grabbed him. But just as he finished speaking those words, he saw Yan Yuerong who was standing behind Mo Wuji. His heart instantly turned cold. Before Mo Wuji could even say anything, he hurriedly said, "Senior, I didn¡¯t know this girl back then. I also didn¡¯t know that this girl was related to senior. I, Ao Lu, am not willing to accept it if senior kills me because of this." "Where¡¯s my little sister¡¯s storage ring?" Mo Wuji asked coldly. "I have already destroyed the corpse inside. The remaining things are still there¡­" When she heard that Sister Xiaoyu¡¯s corpse had been destroyed, Yan Yuerong started to bawl. Before Ao Lu could finish speaking, Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal elemental energy hand squeezed tight. Ao Lu was directly turned to a fog of blood. "Let¡¯s go." Mo Wuji kept the storage ring, then he brought the sobbing Yan Yuerong past the green-faced Leng Ren. When he felt the deathly energy around Leng Ren, Mo Wuji understood why Leng Ren didn¡¯t do anything. The closer one was to death, the more one was afraid of it. If not for this, Leng Ren wouldn¡¯t have been afraid of Gods Race¡¯s Wu Li. ¡­ "This Senior Mo is too strong. He doesn¡¯t even fear the West River Religious Order!" "It should be because Order Head An isn¡¯t here, right?" "I¡¯m sure that even of Order Head An was present, Senior Mo would have still dared to do what he just did." In a short time, Mo Wuji¡¯s name had spread throughout Cosmos Edge. In just half a day, Mo Wuji went from destroying the Dao Discussion Stage, to wrecking Mifei Trade Union, to causing a scene at West River Religious Order. It would be hard to not hear of Mo Wuji. ¡­ Half an incense¡¯s later, Mo Wuji brought Yan Yuerong to Feng Huang¡¯s and Ji Ku¡¯s private room in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Resthouse." "Immortal Friend Mo takes his vengeance swiftly. Your heart is free from hindrances. Ji Ku is truly impressed." After the four took their seats, Ji Ku took the initiative to start. At this point, Mo Wuji stood up and raised his wine cup, "Many thanks for Dao Lord Feng¡¯s and Immortal Friend Ji¡¯s magnanimity. You have permitted me to run unbridled in Cosmos Edge." Feng Huang and Ji Ku naturally knew that Mo Wuji was only saying nice words. Even if Feng Huang and Ji Ku chose to step in, Mo Wuji would still have done what he wanted. "Immortal Friend Mo is too polite. Please take a seat," Feng Huang said hurriedly. Mo Wuji took a seat. Thereafter, he directly asked, "Dao Lord Feng, you previously said that the experts of the Gods Race and Mifei Trade Union are all not present. I wonder where they went?" Mo Wuji was sure that this was also the case for West River Religious Order. Otherwise, Leng Ren definitely wouldn¡¯t have been the only one person standing against him when he went to West River Religious Order. Chapter 788: The Experts From The Gods Race Return Chapter 788: The Experts From The Gods Race Return Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Does Immortal Friend Mo know what¡¯s the stage after the Grand Emperor Stage?" Feng Huang didn¡¯t directly answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question. Mo Wuji nodded, "I¡¯ve heard of it. It should be the Dao Emperor Stage. Didn¡¯t they say that the Very High Heavens¡¯ Zi Changluo is a Dao Emperor? He seems to above Immortal Emperors." Feng Huang said disdainfully, "Zi Changluo can only be arrogant in that tiny piece of land he calls the Very High Heavens. Would he dare to come to the Cosmos Edge? Immortal Friend Mo, don¡¯t simply look at how you destroyed the Dao Discussion Stage, wrecked Mifei Trade Union and disgraced West River Religious Order. In reality, the number of experts that can easily deal with you can be counted in more than a hand." Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe this, he knew that Feng Huang wasn¡¯t shooting in the dark. There would definitely be experts more powerful than him in Cosmos Edge; that part is true. However, to say that they could easily deal with him was truly underestimating him. "I hope Dao Lord Feng could shed more light on this." While Mo Wuji didn¡¯t agree with this, his tone was still very humble. Feng Huang nodded. He had been intentionally direct in his words as he wanted to see whether Mo Wuji still had space for growth. If Mo Wuji was arrogant to the point where he believes that he could claim to be tyrant in Cosmos Edge, then there was no point in befriending Mo Wuji. This was because such a person definitely wouldn¡¯t grow any stronger. "Immortal Friend Mo, one reason why no one has dealt with you while you were in Cosmos Edge is because many experts aren¡¯t present. The second reason is that there is a vast jumble of powers, and they all only care about the snow in front of their own doors. In fact, some powers delighted at your ruckus with Mifei Trade Union and West River Religious Order. The weaker their opponents, the stronger they would be. This was also why no one confronted you after you destroyed the Dao Discussion Stage and caused scenes at Mifei Trade Union and West River Religious Order." Mo Wuji agreed with Feng Huang¡¯s words. The moment he acted against Mifei Trade Union, he already knew about the mystical place that was the Cosmos Edge. Feng Huang continued, "Just now, I asked you about the stage after the Grand Emperor Stage. Actually, I don''t know about that stage myself, but I know that it''s not Dao Emperor. Dao Emperor sounds like a stage, but at the end of the day, there''s no qualitative difference between a Dao Emperor and an Immortal Emperor. It''s said that when you reach the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage, you can only take a step forward if you obtain a God Seat. Immortal Friend Mo, you should have heard of god equipment before, right?" Even though Mo Wuji had already guessed that Dao Emperor wasn''t after Immortal Emperor, his thoughts became clearer after hearing Feng Huang''s words. He hurriedly said, "I¡¯ve heard of god equipment before. I heard that god equipment frequently appear within Heaven''s Beyond Corridor''s Cosmos Wall, and that it surpasses immortal equipment." Feng Huang laughed faintly, "Those god equipment from the Cosmos Wall could only be considered at trash. They might not even be comparable to immortal equipment. Of course, the reason why we know of god equipment and God Seats isn''t because someone had gone to the world with God Seats. Instead, it''s because the items dropped from the Cosmos Wall contain information about them. This time, all the experts in Cosmos Edge aren''t present because someone discovered the ruins of a God Seat Holder within the void. Not only are there powerful cultivation techniques there, there are also manuals revealing methods on how to obtain a God Seat as well as peak grade god equipment. That Zi Changluo that you talked about has also gone over. If not for that, neither Mifei Trade Union''s Union Head Qian Yisa, nor West River Religious Order''s Order Head An Xuecheng would have allowed you to do as you please. Oh right, that Qian Yisa is one of the Dao Emperors you talked about. Even though Dao Emperor isn''t actually a new stage, I know that I''m not a match for that Qian Yisa." Mo Wuji''s heart clenched. It wasn''t that he was afraid that he wasn''t able to beat Qian Yisa. Instead, it was because he was worried that as a Dao Emperor, Qian Yisa might have the rights to activate the Cosmos Edge''s killing array. If he was trapped by Cosmos Edge''s killing array, it would truly be hard for him to escape. From the looks of it, he needed to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would only remain as a pawn. Feng Huang laughed and said, "And that Wu Li you killed on the Dao Discussion Stage was a young lord of the Gods Race. He was a peerless talent that could devour spiritual roots and continuously raise the quality of his own spiritual roots. Such a talent was actually killed by you before he could mature. I''m afraid¡­" Before Feng Huang could finish speaking, a flying messenger sword landed on his hand. Even though Mo Wuji cultivated his Starsea Sacred Technique, and could thus easily break through the seals of that flying messenger sword, he didn''t do so. Feng Huang''s spiritual will had already penetrated into the flying messenger sword. Immediately, his face changed and he went silent. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate any further. His spirit storage channel''s spiritual will had already seeped over. Those seals on the flying messenger sword weren''t even able to act as obstacles in front of his spiritual will. Mo Wuji saw the contents of the flying messenger sword clearly; there was only one sentence inside. "I request Dao Lord Feng to delay that Mo Wuji for half a day, four Dao Emperors of my Gods Race will rush to Cosmos Edge in half a day." Mo Wuji''s heart sank. Just one Dao Emperor was an existence that he had to look up to. Four Dao Emperors¡­ Perhaps he could only wait for his death. Even though he knew this, Mo Wuji still didn''t say a word. He wanted to know what Feng Huang would do. "Brother Feng, what''s the matter?" By the side, Ji Ku asked doubtfully. Feng Huang sighed, "Just some trivial matters. Oh right, Immortal Friend Mo, if you are interested, would you like to go to my Dao Lord Mansion and share a toast?" Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. He knew that Feng Huang''s choice was normal, but he could not help but feel slightly disappointed. Originally, he wanted to treat Feng Huang as a friend. After validating his Dao and stepping into the Immortal Emperor Stage, he could join hands with Feng Huang and establish a firm foothold in Cosmos Edge. Befriending him was equivalent to an investment. However, Feng Huang wasn''t willing to take risk. Mo Wuji stood up and clasped his fists towards Feng Huang and Ji Ku, "I''ve already learnt a lot from this conversation with Dao Lord Feng and Immortal Friend Ji. I will not impose on Dao Lord Feng any further. We will meet again in the future." With that, Mo Wuji turned and left. He didn''t even slow down. "Wait, Immortal Friend Mo, I have some god equipment from Cosmos Wall in my mansion. Even though they aren''t anything much, it would provide a glimpse of the stage beyond the Immortal Emperor Stage," Feng Huang hurriedly cried out. Mo Wuji turned his head and said solemnly, "I understand Dao Lord Feng¡¯s kind intentions. But now, I need to find a person." "I wonder where Immortal Friend Mo is heading towards?" While he knew that he wouldn''t be able to get Mo Wuji to stay, Feng Huang still chose to ask. "I will look around." By the time he finished saying that, Mo Wuji had already left the resthouse with Yan Yuerong. "What''s wrong?" Feeling that something was amiss with Feng Huang, Ji Ku asked this question again. Feng Huang frowned and said, "The Gods Race asked me to get that Mo Wuji to stay. They would rush to Cosmos Edge in half a day. It seems like I¡¯ve underestimated the importance that Gods Race placed on Wu Li. I originally wanted to befriend Mo Wuji before he leaves Cosmos Edge. As long as Mo Wuji leaves before the people from Gods Race arrive, then this would no longer be my business. However, I never expected that the Gods Race would send a message even before Mo Wuji left. They were clearly threatening me." Feng Huang indeed wanted to make an investment. However, he didn''t expect that before he could complete his investment, the Gods Race had sent him that flying messenger sword. Clearly, the Gods Race were very clear of his personality, and they also placed much importance on that Wu Li. Ji Ku asked doubtfully, "Just now, that Mo Wuji seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Could he have seen the contents from the flying messenger sword?" Feng Huang shook his head, ¡®Thaht¡¯s impossible. Just now, there wasn¡¯t any spatial ripples formed from the usage of spiritual will. Even if there was, there are seals on the flying messenger sword. They wouldn¡¯t be simply broken. Even though Mo Wuji is a Grade 7 Array Master, he wouldn¡¯t be capable of that." The reason why Feng Huang dared to make such assertations was because he had felt Mo Wuji releasing his spiritual will back when Mo Wuji broke the seals on Ju Chuan¡¯s storage ring. However, he didn¡¯t feel any movement of spiritual will at all just now. "There¡¯s no need to care about the Gods Race. Brother Feng had tried to get Mo Wuji to stay, to no avail. At that point, you would have to battle with Mo Wuji in order to get him to stay," Ji Ku reassured. Feng Huang nodded but didn¡¯t say a word. He had recorded what had happeend just now. When the Gods Race sent that message, he could help as much as he can. However, he definitely wouldn¡¯t pit his life against Mo Wuji¡¯s just because of a flying sword from the Gods Race. ¡­ At the same time, a flying ship was speeding towards Cosmos Edge. There were four people on the flying ship. The man at the front had black and white runic tattoos on his face. His body was exuding sharp and heavy killing intent, and his aura was so intense that it seemed to tear the space around him. This man was a Dao Emperor of the Gods Race - Wu Wang. Not only was he the ancestor of Wu Li, he was also Wu Li¡¯s master. "We just sent a flying messenger sword to Feng Huang. Feng Huang wouldn¡¯t help Mo Wuji by telling Mo Wuji about us, right?" The one speaking was an old man standing next to Wu Wang. His skin was like a tree bark and his voice was like a leaky flute. His aura was also strong and intense; his cultivation was no lower than Wu Wang. Wu Wang said coldly, "Anyone that dares to kill the young lord of my Gods Race would rush to leave Cosmos Edge. I understand Feng Huang¡¯s character very well; he likes to create opportunities. If I didn¡¯t send that flying messager sword to him, he might actually befriended that person, then helped that person to escape. But now that I sent him that message, he doesn¡¯t have the balls to reveal the secret. Knowing that we will arrive in half a day, he will try to keep Mo Wuji for at least an hour or two. That would be enough. That fella killed my Gods Race¡¯s young lord and three Immortal Emperors. If I don¡¯t shatter this person¡¯s bones, scatter his ashes, and burn his soul, I, Wu Wang, would be wasting my long years of cultivation. ¡­ "Brother Da Huang, are the experts of the Gods Race coming?" Seeing Mo Wuji anxiously bringing her to leave Cosmos Edge, Yan Yuerong knew that something was amiss. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes. The content of that flying messenger sword was a request from the Gods Race, asking Feng Huang to try and delay me for half a day. Four Dao Emperors from the Gods Race would be coming soon." Yan Yuerong heaved a sigh of relief, "That¡¯s ok. Half a day is enough for us to escape." Mo Wuji laughed ruefully and said, "Half a day? I¡¯m sure that it would already be amazing if we even have an hour. The Gods Race is making use of Feng Huang¡¯s character. If Feng Huang saw half a day, he would not wholeheartedly delay me, and would only get me to stay for an hour or so. He would already consider that helping the Gods Race. I am sure that in less than an hour, the experts from the Gods Race would arrive in Cosmos Edge." "Ah¡­" Yan Yuerong realised that she was still too inexperienced. She hurriedly asked, "Then where are we going?" "To the Shattered Ruins. I have a jade letter map of the Shattered Ruins. Only if I am able to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage within the Shattered Ruins, then I would have the qualifications to return and discuss the dao with these Dao Emperors." Mo Wuji retrieved his immortal concealment boat. After entering it with Yan Yuerong, the boat shot into the vast void. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace. Chapter 789: Battling A Dao Emperor Chapter 789: Battling A Dao Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations It hadn''t even been an entire incense''s time since Mo Wuji left when a grey ship stopped outside Cosmos Edge. They''re the Gods Race''s Dao Emperor Wu Wang and Dao Emperor Lun Pa¡­" The moment the people within the shop emerged, they were immediately recognised by the people outside Cosmos Edge. These people all hurried to move to the side to make way for them. The Gods Race was one of the most powerful races in Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos. Moreover, besides Wu Wang and Lun Pa, there were still two other Dao Emperors within the ship. Everyone all knew the reason why they had come. The Gods Race''s Young Lord Wu Li had been killed in Cosmos Edge. It would be weird if the Gods Race didn''t flip out. Wu Wang, together with the wood-bark-like Lun Pa, walked into Cosmos Edge. The other two Dao Emperor experts remained outside Cosmos Edge, clearly in case Mo Wuji tried to escape. "Feng Huang greets Dao Emperor Wu Wang and Dao Emperor Lun Pa." Just as Wu Wang entered Cosmos Edge, Feng Huang came to welcome him with a smile plastered on his face. "Dao Lord Feng, I wonder if that Mo Wuji is present?" Wu Wang''s voice was cold; he was seemingly prepared to pummel Feng Huang under his fist. Feng Huang sighed and said, "He was determined to leave. Even I was unable to have him stay." Feng Huang only realised that the Gods Race definitely wouldn''t need half a day to arrive sometime after Mo Wuji left. The reason why Mo Wuji had been so anxious to leave should also be because Mo Wuji had guessed the contents of the flying messenger sword. Honestly, Feng Huang was very impressed with Mo Wuji, to actually be able to guess the contents so accurately. At the same time, he felt slight disdain towards Wu Wang. If Wu Wang had not sent the flying messenger sword, then he, Feng Huang, would have unconsciously helped them retain Mo Wuji. Actually, Wu Wang''s predictions were right: Mo Wuji wanted to leave Cosmos Edge immediately after killing Wu Li. If not for him, Mo Wuji would have left a long time ago. It was because he told Mo Wuji that the experts from the Gods Race wouldn''t be returning temporarily. That caused Mo Wuji to stay for a little longer. However, that Wu Wang decided to be an extra; he sent a flying messenger sword over and this sword was coincidentally noticed by Mo Wuji. "What?" Wu Wang instantly exploded with killing intent. He stared coldly at Feng Huang and said, "Could it be that Dao Lord Feng treats my Gods Race''s words like farts?" Feng Huang sneered in his heart, but his tone remained calm as he said, "Dao Emperor, these words of yours are inappropriate. I, Feng Huang, am merely a Dao Lord; I¡¯m unable to control the actions of others. However, I, Feng Huang, have done the best I can. I do not ask for Dao Emperor Wu to thank me, but I¡¯m not willing to accept Dao Emperor Wu''s anger either." With that, Feng Huang threw a crystal ball to Wu Wang. The flames of anger within Wu Wang''s hearts cooled down. He understood what Feng Huang was implying: It''s true that your Gods Race is strong, but I, Feng Huang, am not a person of your Gods Race. It''s already an act of favour for me to help you, and it really wouldn''t be a big deal even if I don''t. At this instant, Wu Wang sent his spiritual will into the crystal ball. He saw that when Mo Wuji left, Feng Huang had tried to get him to stay, but to no avail. Wu Wang also knew that it wouldn''t be practical to think that Feng Huang would battle with Mo Wuji because of them. Moreover, Wu Wang was also feeling some regret. He knew that it was his flying messenger sword which made Mo Wuji so bent to leave. How would he know that Mo Wuji would not immediately leave after killing Wu Li? If he did, he definitely wouldn''t have sent Feng Huang that flying messenger sword. "Just now, I was too agitated because of Wu Li''s death. I request Dao Lord Feng to tell me: where did that Mo Wuji go?" Wu Wang inhaled deeply, then he clasped his fists and asked. In his heart, there was still huge amounts of anger that were enough to fill three oceans and four seas. However, if he didn''t catch Mo Wuji, he had no means of venting that anger. Feng Huang said apologetically, "That Mo Wuji said he was finding someone. I didn''t expect that he would immediately leave Cosmos Edge. He left using Ou Zhaohe¡¯s immortal concealment boat." "I wonder if Dao Lord Feng knows of this Mo Wuji''s origins?" Even though Mo Wuji had just destroyed Mifei Pill-Smith Pavilion, the Gods Race couldn''t be bothered to care about such a matter. But now that Mo Wuji had killed Wu Li, Wu Wang naturally wanted to investigate on Mo Wuji. Even though Feng Huang had some guesses on Mo Wuji''s origins, he still said, "I''m truly not sure. I only chatted with that Mo Wuji for a little bit." Feng Huang was clear that Mifei Trade Union would definitely have investigated on Mo Wuji''s origins. However, while he had not actually befriended Mo Wuji, he didn''t want to offend such an expert. "Dao Emperor Wu, I have investigated that Mo Wuji briefly. He should be of the Human Race. Dao Emperor Wu only needs to question Zi Changluo to know of this person''s origins." Leng Ren¡¯s voice came timely. "Human Race." Wu Wang snorted coldly, "Since he''s from the Human Race, then the Human Race no longer needs to exist. Lun Pa, help me to gather my troops. First, we''ll occupy Very High Heavens Immortal Cosmos City; then, we''ll directly destroy the Very High Heavens. As for the Immortal World, we can treat it as a place for our Gods Race to rear our cattle." "Yes." That old wood-bark-like man behind Wu Wang promptly responded. Before this wood bark could turn, one of the Gods Race experts, that was stationed at the entrance of Cosmos Edge previously, rushed over hurriedly. He said to Wu Wang, "Grand Elder, news had just arrived. It says that Mo Wuji was heading in the direction of the Shattered Ruins. From the looks of it, he wants to hide within the Shattered Ruins." "Very good. We will temporarily postpone the subjugation of the Human Race. We will catch that Mo Wuji first. Lun Pa, chase after him; we will follow suit." Wu Wang¡¯s voice was cold. "Yes." Lun Pa responded promptly. Suddenly, a pair of wings grew out of his back. With a strong flap, Lun Pa disappeared without a trace. Lun Pa¡¯s speed was the fastest, which was why Wu Wang sent him to stop Mo Wuji. ¡­ The map in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands was obtained from Wu Li. It could be said that his time in Cosmos Edge had been very fruitful. There¡¯s no need to talk about how he obtained more than 3 million green crystals from Mifei Trade Union. From Wu Li¡¯s ring alone, there was close to a million green crystals and countless of treasures. There were even some jade boxes which he had yet to open. Additionally, there were still the rings of those three Immortal Emperors from the Gods Race. He didn¡¯t have the time to open them yet. That would have to wait till he reaches the Shattered Ruins and settles down. The immortal concealment boat was a Grade 9 flying treasure; so its speed was very fast. In a short two hours, Mo Wuji found the Shattered Ruins positional imprint on the jade letter map. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He had seen the introduction of the Shattered Ruins before; he knew that as long as he entered the Shattered Ruins, the Gods Race might not necessarily be able to find him even if they sent in all their experts. "Brother Da Huang, how long more till we are able to enter¡­" Yan Yuerong didn¡¯t even manage to finish her sentence when a blast of killing intent directly slammed against Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal concealment boat. Even though the boat was installed with some defensive arrays, under the pressure of that immense killing intent, Yan Yuerong was momentarily unable to talk. Not good. Mo Wuji had battled with Wu Li and the three Immortal Emperors before. At this moment, how could he not tell that this was a peak expert from the Gods Race? "Yanrong, hurry and control the immortal concealment ship. Go into the Shattered Ruins, find a remote place to hide and wait for me. If I don¡¯t return, stay in there and cultivate¡­" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even finish his sentence as he charged out of the ship; his Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured a halberd light which was tens of thousands of meters long which slashed towards the oncoming person. When Yan Yuerong finally reacted, the immortal concealment ship had already been blasted far away from the violent immortal elemental energy. Within her mind, there was suddenly the spiritual will instructions on how to control the ship, and a jade letter map of Shattered Ruins was at her feet. Yan Yuerong instantly reacted. If she stayed behind, she would only be a burden for her Brother Da Huang. She did not hesitate to control the immortal concealment ship and sped towards the Shattered Ruins. Seeing Yan Yuerong leaving decisively, Mo Wuji sighed in relief. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd light ruptured a huge silver fissure within the void. However, this fissure was easily destroyed with a single punch. As the halberd light exploded, it looked like fireworks had been set off within the void. "No wonder why you were able to kill three Immortal Emperors and the Young Lord of my Gods Race. You truly do have some methods." An old man whose skin was like a tree bark appeared in front of Mo Wuji. His voice seemed to have come out of a broken flute; it was extremely hard to hear. On his back, was a pair of wings. Clearly, these wings were the reason why he was able to chase after Mo Wuji so quickly. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk; he started to suspect whether Feng Huang had intentionally tried to retain him. If Feng Huang hadn¡¯t told him that the experts from the Gods Race wouldn¡¯t return for the time being, he would have left the Cosmos Edge right after coercing some green crystals from Mifei Trade Union. He wouldn¡¯t have wasted his time with West River Religious Order. "This Emperor is Lun Pa. Hand over your storage ring and I can consider showing you mercy¡­" What left Mo Wuji confused was that this wood-bark-like old man actually didn¡¯t continue attacking. Instead, he wanted Mo Wuji to hand over his storage ring. Mo Wuji¡¯s mind spun, and he immediately figured out the reason. This fella was stalling for time; this fella wasn¡¯t afraid of him, but this fella was afraid that Mo Wuji would try to escape. When he thought of this, why would Mo Wuji want to waste any more time? His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured his Grand Desert which swept towards this old man. At the very next instant, his Winding River also cascaded down, and by the side of the river, was an incomplete sun.. The first three sacred arts of his Four Halberd Strikes were released almost simultaneously. Even though these three were intent-level sacred art, they didn¡¯t cause a huge pressure due to his strong sea of consciousness and spiritual will. Even though Lun Pa had only responded with a punch previously, and it had been a defensive punch, Mo Wuji was clear that the density of his immortal elemental energy could not compare with this Lun Pa. Since Lun Pa was so strong, he had no other choice but to give it his all. Moreover, it wasn¡¯t set in stone that he was going to lose. His Grand Desert could transform into a killing array. Back on the Dao Discussion Stage, those three Immortal Emperors were too weak, and they weren¡¯t able to force him to display the full might of his Grand Desert. Besides his Grand Desert, he was also a physique cultivator at God Physique Level 7. Of course, he still had his killing aces: the Spiritual Will Arrow and the Wheel of Life and Death. Lun Pa was strong, but Lun Pa was worried that he would escape. That meant that Lun Pa would hold back and behave cautiously. In such a scenario, it meant that he, Mo Wuji, would have a high chance of getting rid of Lun Pa. Seeing Mo Wuji attack so furiously, Lun Pa snorted coldly. A giant tree appeared above his head; the huge roots of that tree shot over. Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain was shattered inch by inch, and his Winding River had only descended halfway before being split apart by the roots. The violent force of immortal elemental energy rebounded back on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt a huge ache in his sea of consciousness and he almost coughed out some vital blood. The only one of his three intent-level sacred arts which managed to form fully was his Grand Desert. This time, Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert didn¡¯t form into boundless and endless waves of sand, but into millions of array flags. These millions of array flags shot into the space between the two of them. Mo Wuji did not falter. Waving his Half Moon Weighted halberd, that incomplete Setting Sun suddenly transformed into a gigantic star which came crashing towards Lun Pa. "Trivial tricks!" Lun Pa sneered. The giant tree erupted, transforming into a mountain of wood which blocked the Setting Sun. The red star exploded; Mo Wuji¡¯s Setting Sun¡¯s intent had yet form fully before it was forcefully dispersed. Mo Wuji could no longer hold it in as his mouth opened and an arrow of blood shot out. Lun Pa¡¯s giant tree shattered once more, transforming into a web of wood which sealed the surrounding area. He was sure that Mo Wuji would try to escape after knowing the difference between them. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t escape. Not only didn¡¯t he escape, Mo Wuji took a step forward. He directly condensed a Spiritual Will Arrow. Immediately, killing intent filled the entire web-locked space. Chapter 790: Killing A Dao Emperor Chapter 790: Killing A Dao Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "This is the Spiritual Will Arrow¡­" Lun Pa was an expert hardened through countless of battles; he felt it the moment Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual WIll Arrow locked onto him. At this instant, Lun Pa¡¯s heart turned cold. When he was fighting against Mo Wuji, he could immediately tell that Mo Wuji had yet to validate his Dao and step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. Lun Pa would never have thought that a mere Immortal Reverent could actually condense the Spiritual Will Arrow? Lun Pa was clearer than even Mo Wuji himself of the terrifying might of the Spiritual Will Arrow. Once shot, this arrow speeds along without a trail and without a trace. Moreover, if the Spiritual Will Arrow reaches a certain level, not only would it destroy the opponent¡¯s fleshly body, it would even eradicate the opponent¡¯s sea of consciousness. The reason why the Spiritual Will Arrow was so terrifying was because it could not be blocked. This was unless your spiritual will and sea of consciousness were stronger than the user, and you would need to possess a spiritual will defensive technique. Otherwise, you would need a spiritual will treasure, or simply persevere through the attack. Usually, only Xiantian or peak Houtian treasures have methods to defend against spiritual will attacks. However, Lun Pa did not have such treasures. There was no small amount of immortal cultivators that could use spiritual will techniques. However, the experts that could condense a Spiritual Will Arrow or possess strong spiritual will sacred arts definitely could only be counted within one¡¯s fingers. A looming pressure fell over the entire space. Lun Pa furiously tried to concentrate his domain. Before Mo Wuji shot his Spiritual Will Arrow, Lun Pa did not dare to take out his magic treasure. Also, Lun Pa knew that there was a fatal flaw with the Spiritual Will Arrow; that was, the moment the Spiritual Will Arrow was shot, the user would fall into a state of great weakness. That was the best moment to counterattack. Lun Pa was waiting for that instant. Mo Wuji had frequently tested his Spiritual Will Arrow before. Naturally, he knew of the weakness after using it. However, his sea consciousness was strong, so he had never placed it to heart. But as Mo Wuji condensed this Spiritual Will Arrow to lock onto Lun Pa, he knew that he was wrong. The Spiritual Will Arrow was crazily sucking away his spiritual will and his immortal elemental energy; it was even sucking away his life force. In that instant, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. The reason why he never had such a drastic feeling with his Spiritual Will Arrow before was because he had never met an expert on the level of Lun Pa. That also meant that he had never truly shot a Spiritual Will Arrow with his full killing intent. The moment this arrow shot out, he was sure that he would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He had shot the Spiritual Will Arrow before but this particular arrow seemed to suck out almost everything that he had. As the Spiritual Will Arrow continued to condense with greater killing intent, Mo Wuji gradually felt that it was getting arduous to even stand. He struggled to circulate his spirit storage channel and his elemental storage channel. Even if his sea of consciousness was sucked dry, he would still have some control as long as he had his spirit storage channel. Mo Wuji exhaled strongly. A sense of emptiness flooded into him and around him. The moment this Spiritual Arrow was released, it felt like everything in his surroundings had been swept away. "Kacha!" This crisp sound rang through the void. Lun Pa knew that Mo Wuji had released his Spiritual Will Arrow. "Pff!" A fog of mist exploded at Lun Pa¡¯s forehead. Lun Pa could immediately hear his Mind Palace releasing cracking sounds. Lun Pa naturally knew that this was an indication that his Mind Palace was shattering. However, he was not shocked, but pleasantly surprised. This was because he knew that Mo Wuji was dead meat. As long as this Spiritual Will Arrow didn¡¯t kill him, he would have the chance to eliminate Mo Wuji. As for the damage to his Mind Palace, the Gods Race had plenty of heavenly treasures which would be able to help him recover gradually. Immediately, Lun Pa retrieved a wooden nail which was only 3 inches long. It instantly shot towards Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. Mo Wuji could feel Lun Pa¡¯s wooden nail speeding towards him. However, he did not block, nor did he try to dodge. He knew that he didn¡¯t have the opportunity to do so. "Bang!" The meat around Lun Pa¡¯s head exploded, he looked like a bloody skeleton. His Mind Palace was also shattering at a rapid rate, even he could feel it clearly. At the same time, the wooden nail landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s left chest. Even though Mo Wuji was at God Physique Level 7, this nail still penetrated his chest and infiltrated into his body. The wooden nail was eventually stopped 1 centimetre away from his heart. However, due to the intense immortal elemental energy contained within the nail, tears began to appear on Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. A deathly, grey energy instantly inundated Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body, and it continued to metastasize towards Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji completely disregarded his own injuries as he stepped towards Lun Pa. His two hands conjured countless of enigmatic hand seals and soon, a Yin Yang Wheel appeared in front of him. Sacred Art - Wheel of Life and Death. "This is impossible." The skeleton-like Lun Pa stared at Mo Wuji in shock. His Gods Wooden Nail had landed on Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji¡¯s body actually didn¡¯t explode. Could it be that Mo Wuji had a God Physique? In fact, let¡¯s not talk about the God Physique; this was his first time that he saw a person continue to use another sacred art after shooting the Spiritual Will Arrow. Under that Spiritual Will Arrow, Lun Pa¡¯s sea of consciousness had split apart and a good, front half of his head had exploded. Even though he wanted to continue attacking, a sense of dread and impending doom enveloped him. At this instant, he felt as though he was drowning in a sea of death. His life force was rapidly being sucked away, and as that happened, the deathly energy holding him in place seemed to get stronger and heavier. His spirit channels started to rupture and his Mind Palace started to evaporate¡­ "What¡¯s this sacred art¡­" Right after Lun Pa said those words, the deathly wheel imprint landed on him. All energy within him rapidly got sucked out of his body. He was filled with unwillingness. He was an expert standing at the peak of this world, but he was actually killed by a mere Immortal Reverent. Moreover, this was in the circumstance where he was actively trying to kill the other party. He even felt some fear; if Mo Wuji was so terrifying as an Immortal Reverent, then how powerful would he be when he gets stronger. If he could still move, what he would do was to send a flying messenger sword to Wu Wang, telling Wu Wang not to continue chasing Mo Wuji, and not to act against the Human Race¡­ "Wheel of Life and Death." Mo Wuji finally said the name of his sacred art. Unfortunately, Lun Pa was not able to hear it. His primordial spirit had already been extinguished within the Wheel of Life and Death. Mo Wuji opened his hand, sweeping in a storage ring and an extremely small pair of wings. As Lun Pa died, that giant web of wood reverted back into a tree that was roughly a meter long. Mo Wuji also retrieved it. A sense of weakness immediately pervaded throughout his body. Mo Wuji did not immediately run away. He popped some pills, then he started to gather Lun Pa¡¯s dao energy. After doing all this, Mo Wuji grabbed Lun Pa¡¯s corpse. With his Wind Escape Technique, he fled in a different direction. ¡­ In less than half an incense''s time since Mo Wuji left, a ship stopped at where Mo Wuji and Lun Pa battled. Wu Wang was the first one to leave the ship. He stood, unmoving, at the battle site for a long time before he finally snorted coldly, "Lun Pa tried to stop that Mo Wuji here and the two of them engaged in battle. That Mo Wuji escaped. He didn''t continue moving towards the Shattered Ruins, but chose to flee in a different direction¡­" Thereafter, Wu Wang closed his eyes and extended his spiritual will. Soon, he discovered the dao energy left behind by Lun Pa. He immediately said, "Let''s go. Lun Pa left behind traces. We can follow them. A mere human race ant dares to kill the young lord of my Gods Race. I will let him know the true meaning of regret." Wu Wang entered the ship. The ship changed directions, and soon, it vanished without a trace. As hours passed, the expression on Wu Wang''s face continued to get uglier. The traces left behind by Lun Pa continued to get weaker, and at this point, it had completely disappeared. "Grand Elder, Elder Lun Pa''s speed is number one in our Gods Race. Logically, with Elder Lun Pa''s speed and capabilities, he shouldn''t have taken that long to chase after that human race ant. But now, we have been pursuing them for hours but there are still no new signs. I''m afraid¡­" A short haired middle aged man walked to the back of Wu Wang and said; his voice was solemn and filled concern. Wu Wang inhaled deeply, then he said solemnly, "We fell into his trap. If I''m not wrong, Lun Pa has already fallen under this person''s venomous hands. I was wrong. I underestimated this person. From now on, I definitely wouldn''t underestimate this person. There''s no need for us to continue moving in this direction. Turn back, let''s go to the Shattered Ruins." ¡­ At this instant, Mo Wuji had already cremated Lun Pa''s corpse, made a huge round trip, and arrived back outside Shattered Ruins. He still hadn''t removed the wooden nail from his body and the injury on his chest had gotten bloodied and mottled. He had always been on the run and he didn''t seem capable of expelling the deathly energy contained within that wooden nail. Even though he was continuously taking peak grade immortal pills, his face was extremely pale and his entire body exuded a sort of energy of decay. This was even with his vitality channel; if he was anyone else, he would probably be dead. Shattered Ruins. This was one of the three Holylands of the Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos. This place is filled with boundless fortunes and treasures. At the same time, this place is fraught with dangers. Most of the cultivators that come to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos would choose to go to the Shattered Ruins. Even though the Shattered Ruins was dangerous, it was better than the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor in the point that the Shattered Ruins didn''t have that deathly energy. As long as one had the cultivation resources, cultivating here would reap great results. The Shattered Ruins wasn''t a planet, nor was it a floating continent. Its entrance was merely a huge void door which looked like a void transfer array. In reality, it''s very simple to enter this void gate and anyone could do so. Outside the void gate, there was even a makeshift plaza. There were several shops and resthouses on this plaza. Cultivators that met with trouble within the Shattered Ruins could return to this plaza to rest and restock their supplies. Mo Wuji''s Wind Escape Technique was extremely fast. He directly crossed the plaza and entered the Shattered Ruins. Even though Mo Wuji was exuding a faint bloodied energy, no one seemed to care about it. They had seen such scenes frequently; many cultivators avoiding the pursuit of their enemies would escape into the Shattered Ruins. ... The moment he entered the Shattered Ruins, Mo Wuji felt a sort of motley energy. The immortal spiritual energy here was very rich, but it was not suitable for cultivation; it seemed to be stained with random bits of impure energy. Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks. His current location didn¡¯t even have a single root of grass. As he gazed ahead of him, he could only see a continuous range of mountains. Alternatively, the scene in front of him could be a large row of cracks and crevices. An intense sensation of weakness started to strike him. Mo Wuji knew that what he needed to do now wasn¡¯t to find Yan Yuerong, but to rush into the depths of the Shattered Ruins. With his current condition, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to dodge if the experts from the Gods Race arrives. Chapter 791: Depths of the Shattered Ruins Chapter 791: Depths of the Shattered Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji took out Wu Li¡¯s storage ring and other than the large quantity of green crystals, there was also a peak grade escape talisman. Even though Mo Wuji was not proficient in Talisman Dao, there was dao spirituality circulating on the surface of the talisman which made Mo Wuji certain that this was at least a Grade 9 immortal escape talisman. Mo Wuji spat out some fresh blood and the escape talisman exploded into a faint and greyish radiance which swept Mo Wuji off his feet before disappearing without a trace. In the next instance, Mo Wuji felt dizzy and this was when he realised that there was a high possibility that the escape talisman which he ignited had surpassed Grade 9. Otherwise, he shouldn¡¯t have felt dizzy even if he was injured severely. Mo Wuji forced himself to maintain his consciousness because he knew that once he passed out when the talisman completed its task, he would be in grave danger. This was the Shattered Ruins and not some peaceful place. After an unknown period of time, Mo Wuji felt trembles in his legs before hearing cracks from his own bones. Just as his brain was starting to lack oxygen, Mo Wuji sent himself into the Undying World even before he passed out. Moments later, a few metres long beaver stepped down from the void as it entered right into a pond which was near the Undying World. ¡­ Shuai Guo, who was already a immortal beast in the pinnacle of Class 6, saw how Mo Wuji fell into the Undying World with a body filled with injuries as he muttered to himself helplessly, "My lord is always on the verge of death every time he enters the Undying World. Fortunately, a smart and capable Shuai Guo is around because otherwise, who knows how many times my lord would have perish? Ai, I¡¯m always the one doing so much and I¡¯m also always the one getting scolded." The well experienced Shuai Guo hurried to shift Mo Wuji under the Breath of Hongmeng. Under normal circumstances, Shuai Guo was well aware that under the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would always recover well no matter the severity of injuries. However, Shuai Guo started to feel like something was amiss a few days later. Even though the other parts of the Mo Wuji¡¯s body were recovering well, his chest was constantly bleeding as a certain grey energy of defeat was seeping out continually. Moreover, this was Shuai Guo¡¯s first time sensing that its lord was getting weaker with his life force dissipating. Shuai Guo was after all an immortal beast which was about to advance to become Class 7 so it would be a complete waste of resources if Shuai Guo couldn¡¯t tell that Mo Wuji was in trouble. Shuai Guo dashed over to Mo Wuji and started permeating through Mo Wuji¡¯s wounds using its spiritual will. A three inches long grey nail was caught by Shuai Guo as it was the one which was emitting the greyish energy of defeat. It seemed like this nail was the cause of it. Without hesitation, Shuai Guo opened its mouth and the grey deathly energy was swept away by it. In the very next moment, Shuai Guo was dumbfounded because once he managed to sweep away the grey energy, the nail started exuding new grey energy of defeat. This item was certainly not simple and as Shuai Guo bite onto this grey nail in an attempt to pull it out, it was to no avail regardless of how hard it tried to pull. It could even bite onto the nail and drag Mo Wuji away because the nail was deeply embedded into Mo Wuji¡¯s bones. *Spat out in contempt* "I can¡¯t believe there is still something which I, Shuai Guo, couldn¡¯t handle. I shall eat¡­" Shuai Guo grunted as it opened its mouth to chew on the tailend of the nail. A faint scar started appearing on the wooden nail and Shuai Guo was not in the least discouraged. It didn¡¯t believe that it couldn¡¯t bite off a nail because in its memory, its ancestor could even eat Xiantian treasures. It, Shuai Guo, was a descendant of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito which its lord mentioned to be one of the five greatest and most vicious bugs. Exerting all its force, Shuai Guo opened its mouth to bite onto that wooden nail again and under faint circulation of the dao spirituality, the corner of the wooden nail was instantly bit off by Shuai Guo. Once the corner of the nail was bitten off, the deathly energy of defeat surrounding them started to weaken. Within one absorption, Shuai Guo swept away the deathly energy in the air before biting on the nail again. That wooden nail was like a jelly bean as half of it was bitten off by Shuai Guo. The remaining part of the nail was no longer able to attach itself on Mo Wuji¡¯s bones so Shuai Guo pulled it out directly before swallowing it. The moment the wooden nail was removed, Mo Wuji¡¯s injuries started to recover rapidly with the aid of the Breath of Hongmeng. At this moment, even without the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would still be able to recover well with his vitality channel alone. "Brr!" Before Shuai Guo could check on the condition of Mo Wuji, it started hearing rumbles coming from its own stomach. Immense pain was felt next and Shuai Guo couldn¡¯t help but to roll around the ground in pain. Very soon, its stomach started expanding and Shuai Guo fell while facing up. It watched its expanding stomach and grunted, "No good, my stomach is about to explode. This item is really too incredible." ¡­ When Mo Wuji woke up, Shuai Guo¡¯s stomach had already been deflated. Presently, Shuai Guo¡¯s dao spirituality was starting to circle around it and evidently, it had entered a deep-seated sleep. Mo Wuji casually threw out a few green crystals as he helped Shuai Guo to install an energy gathering array before checking on his own condition. Mo Wuji was aware that Shuai Guo helped him by swallowing the wooden nail but his consciousness was still indistinct and blur. He remembered getting struck by the wooden nail on his chest and if it wasn¡¯t for Shuai Guo¡¯s help to remove the nail, Mo Wuji knew that he would perish eventually even with his vitality channel. Mo Wuji¡¯s extended his spiritual will outwards and was surprised to see that his Undying World had actually landed on the periphery of a pond of water. Sensing that there were no dangers outside, Mo Wuji cautiously made his way out of his Undying World. The great density of the immortal energy in the surrounding was shocking which made Mo Wuji suspect that cultivating here could be comparable to using green crystals to cultivate. Green crystals were definitely of a higher grade than immortal energy but Mo Wuji guessed that the green crystals he obtained should be only a fragment or edge which was why the Laws of Dao within it was not complete. "Ta!" A sound which caused trembles in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart could be heart as Mo Wuji hurried to conceal himself behind a massive rock. Even before Mo Wuji could recognise what demonic beast it was, "Boom!" the pond in front of him exploded and a massive beaver with a body length of more than 9 metres charged out. This beaver instantly darted towards the incoming humongous black ape and while the beaver was already considered big, this black ape was almost twice the size of the beaver. "Boom boom boom!" The beaver clashed with the black ape and the entire space started swaying immensely. Mo Wuji took in a breath of cold air because either one of the beaver or black ape was definitely stronger than him. These two enormous creatures were definitely no weaker than the Dao Emperor from the Gods Race which he had just finished off recently. He started to ponder about where had he arrived at to find so many powerful beast here? Mo Wuji was certain that the beaver should have spotted him but because it was busy chasing the black ape away, it didn¡¯t have time to entertain Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t choose to run away because he knew that if he had truly landed in the deepest depths of the Shattered Ruins, there would be peak grade demonic beasts everywhere he went and it would be the same no matter where he choose to go. All he would be doing would be to barge from one demonic beast¡¯s territory into another demonic beasts¡¯ territory. By staying here, he still had a small sliver of hope because once the beaver and black ape managed to injure each other severely, that would be his chance. After all, Mo Wuji was a person who had killed a Dao Emperor so he believed that he should still be able to deal with a severely wounded demonic beast. Intense elemental energy exploded and the entire place was in a complete mess as sand and rocks started flying around. Tall and ancient trees were directly smashed by the two gigantic demonic beast and even the 30 over metres rock was split apart. In just a few moments, Mo Wuji understood that the pond must have a peak grade treasure which was why the beaver was so insistent that the black ape shall not approach the pond. Despite knowing that there was a treasure in the pond, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t act instantly. He knew that once he made his way to snatch the treasure, the beaver would give up fighting the black ape to attack him instead. At that point in time, he would have made things so much easier for the black ape. Mo Wuji guessed that both the beaver and black ape had already spotted him but was too busy to bother with him. As Mo Wuji thought about how he wanted to own a piece of territory here in the future, he casually took out a few array flags to install a deathtrap array. "Ai!" Fresh blood started splattering all over the place and the black ape¡¯s brain was split open by the beaver. Similarly, the beaver¡¯s stomach was ripped apart by the black ape as its organ was hanging on the outside. The explosive battle was coming to an end and as the heavily wounded black ape realised that he couldn¡¯t finish the beaver off, he gradually retreated. The beaver didn¡¯t bother chasing after the black ape and even before it take note of its injured body, it flew and charged right towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji stood up and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd turned into a lacerating blade radiance as it slashed towards the beaver. He had waited for this moment for a long time and because this pond seemed decent, Mo Wuji decided to establish his foothold here. "Boom!" The Half Moon Weighted Halberd struck against the beaver¡¯s massive claw shadow and a ray of blood suddenly appeared. Mo Wuji retreated instantly as the beaver¡¯s massive claw was blasted by Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance. In the very next moment, the beaver had already landed within Mo Wuji¡¯s deathtrap array and as Mo Wuji started to throw out array flags, the beaver started to let out devastating cries in an attempt to escape. If the beaver was in a fresh condition, Mo Wuji¡¯s Grade 8 deathtrap array would only be able to stall the beaver for a moment. Now that the beaver was clearly wounded and was struck by Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance, it was completely helpless against Mo Wuji¡¯s arrays and besides crying out, there was nothing it could do. Two hours later, Mo Wuji entered the deathtrap array as he used his halberd to finish off the extremely exhausted beaver. After killing off the beaver, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t rush to enter the pond to find the treasure but started to install all sorts of defensive and deathtrap arrays on the periphery of this area. He wanted to cultivate here so he must first mark out his territory. From today onwards, he shall be the ruler of the piece of land he was standing on. Mo Wuji was completely unaware of his current location but he knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave this place now. To leave this place, he needed to improve further. Four hours later, all the defensive and deathtrap arrays were concealed up by Mo Wuji. He believed that even if peak grades immortal beasts were to arrive, they would be able to discern the meaning of these deathtrap arrays. That was to announce that this was his territory now. Once he completed this, Mo Wuji stepped into the pond. Chapter 792: Danger In The Immortal World Chapter 792: Danger In The Immortal World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The instance the slightly chilled water of the pond touched Mo Wuji¡¯s skin, his entire body felt instantly relaxed even if before he started cultivating. He tried to circulate his physique tempering technique and that cooling pond water started cleansing the impurities within his body. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was jumping gleefully because he didn¡¯t expect the pond to be the treasure itself. On the surface, the pond looked as ordinary as any other pond and even his spiritual will didn¡¯t detect any difference. Once he entered the pond, Mo Wuji instantly knew that this bond was definitely the best place to temper his physique and it was certainly not an ordinary pond. If Mo Wuji were to cleanse his body for a few years in this pond before going back to temper his physique, its effectiveness would definitely be on the next level. Similarly, it would be just as effective if he were to cleanse his body here immediately after tempering his physique. He was already in the God Physique Level 7 and how extraordinary was this pond if it could still cleanse a physique at the level that he was in? This beaver really did know how to enjoy to think that it could actually find such a great place to reside in. Mo Wuji suspected a lot of demonic beasts were unaware of the heaven-defying effects of this pond because otherwise, all of them should be heading here to fight for it. Wait, at least the black ape was aware of it right? Otherwise, why would it come over? Just as Mo Wuji was considering if he should send this entire pond into his Undying World, a green smear appeared in front of his eyes. At the bottom of the pond, there was a fruit tree right smack in the centre of it. Around the tree was a natural water repelling array which separates the tree from the water surrounding it. On top of the fruit tree were seven spotlessly white immortal fruits and as Mo Wuji landed right next to the fruit tree, the faint fragrance immediately perked Mo Wuji up. Mo Wuji walked into the water repelling array and once he saw what kind of tree this was, his heart couldn¡¯t stop beating fast. He finally understood why the black ape wanted to charge in and why the beaver would want to stop the black ape from coming in. The black ape wasn¡¯t going for the pond but was intending to snatch the immortal fruit at the bottom of the pond. Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor so he was fully aware of the the immortal fruit in front of him. The immortal fruit, which people couldn¡¯t discern the grade, was called the Transformation Dao Fruit. To demonic beast, this was a peak grade immortal spiritual fruit because the Transformation Dao Fruit could allow Class 10 immortal beasts to transform into a human dao body. Transformation of demonic beasts was actually not difficult and a lot of the demonic beasts didn¡¯t even need to enter the immortal beast realm and could transform even during the ordinary Class 9. However, such a transformation would not be of much help to a demonic beast¡¯s cultivation. The Transformation Dao Fruit was different because if a demonic beast made use of the Transformation Dao Fruit to transform, not only would the transformation be thorough, they would also have a physique which was suitable to gain insights on the Grand Dao of the Heaven and Earth. Demonic beasts who used the Transformation Dao Fruit would not be any weaker in terms of their enlightenment and merging of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Additionally, their physique would definitely surpass the human cultivators. This was the reason why every single Transformation Dao Fruit was a peerless treasure to demonic beast and moreover, such a fruit was extremely rare. Right in front of him was actually an almost ripen Transformation Dao Fruit Tree with 7 Transformation Dao Fruits on it. Even while using the toe of his feet to think, Mo Wuji could imagine the kind of attention it would attract from all the various strong beasts once the Transformation Dao Fruits ripen. Once the fruit ripen, its fragrance and da spirituality would permeate through the entire place. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t possess his Undying World, he might constantly install all sorts of concealment arrays to conceal this Transformation Dao Fruit Tree. Now that he had his Undying World, he would not hesitate to shift this entire Transformation Dao Fruit Tree into his world. Before advancing into the Immortal Emperor Stage, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t want to find too much trouble for himself. At the periphery of the natural defensive array of the Transformation Dao Fruit Tree was a bluestone pathway. Water was also repelled on both sides of the bluestone pathway and Mo Wuji could sense with his spiritual will that this pathway leads directly into a narrow immortal cave. The immortal cave even had a few simple energy gathering array, which Mo Wuji looked down upon, on its outside. Evidently, the beaver was not very proficient in array dao. Once Mo Wuji entered the immortal cave, the first thing he did was to change the energy gathering array on the outside.Concurrently, he installed a few more protecting and deathtrap arrays before taking out the five storage rings. One of the storage ring belonged to the beaver while the other four belonged to the experts of the three Gods Race experts including the three Immortal Emperors which he killed. While the beaver¡¯s storage ring had piles of various peak grade ores and immortal herbs, there was not many green crystals. However, the immortal herbs within the ring were of much better quality in terms of grade and colour than the ones Mo Wuji obtained in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond City Square. In fact, he even found a peak grade Emperor Dao Fruit in the same storage ring. As for materials, other than a pile of Grade 9 immortal materials, Mo Wuji even found some materials which he didn¡¯t recognise. From the appearance of the dao spirituality of the items itself, Mo Wuji could tell that these items were definitely not weak. Within the three storage rings of the Immortal Emperors of the Gods Race, Mo Wuji found a total of about 1 million green crystals and had tidied up the rest of the immortal herbs and materials. The most shocking thing was that in the storage ring of the Dao Emperor which he recently killed with his Spiritual Arrow, the total number of green crystals accumulated to over three millions and including a wide variety of materials, herbs and techniques; this storage ring was literally a warehouse. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was beating in excitement because he actually found the Five Elemental Soil within the same storage ring. The Five Elemental Soil was a priceless treasure because not only could this soil grow all sorts of peak grade immortal herbs, there was an even more valuable use for it. That was the fact that the soil could refine spatial herbal field or even a small world. As for the other treasures including that pair of wings, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to spend time refining it for the time being. He had his own Wind Escape Technique which was why he wasn¡¯t too interested in that pair of wings. With that many treasures obtained coupled with the green crystals and cultivation resources that he originally had, Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn¡¯t need to source for more cultivation resources temporarily. These items should be sufficient for him to step into the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Piles of green crystals were taken out by Mo Wuji to install the energy gathering array because to him, his strength at the pinnacle of the Immortal Reverent Stage was only enough for him to protect himself. Now that he had offended both the Gods Race and West River Religious Order, he needed to up his strength by a notch or two. Presently, cultivation was of the highest priority. As for Yan Yuerong, Mo Wuji was not worried at all. He left loads of items in the storage ring he gave Yan Yuerong which even included Draining Immortal King Pills. Yan Yuerong would definitely enter into such depths of the Scattered Ruins because she only needed to find a secluded spot to conceal herself while cultivating. ... The Cosmos Edge was getting increasingly oppressed or rather, the cultivators of the Human Race were getting increasingly oppressed. A year ago, Mo Wuji killed Wu Li on the Dao Discussion Stage and even destroyed the entire stage in the Cosmos Edge. This wasn¡¯t all because Mo Wuji even killed three Immortal Emperors of the Gods Race, forced the Mifei Trade Union to compensate millions of green crystals and also ripping the cultivation of the arrogant Killer-Girl Li from the West River Religious Order. Back then, many top experts of the Mifei Trade Union, West River Religious Order or even the Gods Race were not around. Additionally, Feng Huang of the Cosmos Edge refused to intervene and after Mo Wuji did what he did, he actually left the Cosmos Edge. Thereafter, the Gods Race went after Mo Wuji and they didn¡¯t reveal whether or not they managed to capture him. After the mess created by Mo Wuji in the Cosmos Edge a year ago, the Cosmos Edge started the massacre of cultivators from the Human Race under the lead of the Gods Race. Other than this, the Gods Race even started to assemble their massive army as they prepared to attack the only encampment of the Human Race in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos: Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. Everyone knew that the Gods Race had started acting out violently mainly because of the fact that their young lord, Wu Li, was killed. As to why the Cosmos Edge didn¡¯t say anything about the violence exhibited by the Gods Race, it was because the Union Head of the Mifei Trade Union, Qian Yishang and the West River Religious Order¡¯s An Xuecheng both supported the Gods Race¡¯s actions. Human cultivators of the Cosmos Edge started to flee hurriedly and those slower ones had already been slaughtered. ... The Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City was the only encampment of the Human Race in the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Presently, it was pin drop silence in the castellan¡¯s mansion in the city. Almost every experts of the Human Race in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos had gathered here in the castellan¡¯s mansion but the only difference from the past was that the person hosting this meeting was no longer Ping Lishang but a phoenix eyebrow youth. The energy around this youth was almost completely concealed and nobody could tell how strong he truly was. However, one only need to look at Ping Lishang seated below him to know that he must be the Very High Heavens¡¯ Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. The atmosphere in the entire hall was very intense as everyone waited in silence. About half an incense worth of time later, a middle aged Immortal Reverent man with thinly spread hair walked in swiftly as he greeted Zi Changluo before saying, "Speaking to the mighty Dao Emperor, I¡¯ve completed a thorough research of that Mo Wuji¡¯s background. That person came from the Yong Ying Immortal Domain and had established a Ping Fan Immortal School back there. That Mo Wuji had deadly feuds with the Great Sword Path, Lightning Sect and the Vast Ocean Immortal School. Ping Fan exterminated the entire Great Sword Path and there was a immortal vein located at where Ping Fan was situated at and the immortal energy there was extremely dense." "Ping Fan Immortal School?" Zi Changluo repeated this name because he had heard of Ping Fan before. He had heard that the School Head Mo Wuji rose to power abruptly and was even a Tier 8 Pill Emperor. He didn¡¯t put it to heart back then because even a Tier 8 Pill Emperor didn¡¯t mean much to him. Jin Yu, who was standing by the side, already knew what he needed to say but his heart was still trembling in fear because he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to progress to such an extent. The encirclement of three Immortal Emperors didn¡¯t manage to kill him and rumours even spread that Wu Wang personally pursuited Mo Wuji but to no avail. It seemed like it was indeed risky when he went to find Mo Wuji previously in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. Evidently, Mo Wuji truly had quite a number of good items on him but the pity was now that the matter had been blown so big, it would never be his Jin Clan¡¯s turn to claim everything Mo Wuji had. "Speaking to the Dao Emperor, I¡¯ve heard of this Mo Wuji before. Ping Fan Immortal School had a Grand Emperor and a few ordinary Immortal Emperors. In the Immortal World, Ping Fan¡¯s strength could be considered as peak grade. However, who would have guessed that he would be so daring to implicate so much trouble to the Human Race. I am willing to volunteer myself to bring a few men over to first exterminate Ping Fan," Jin Yu clasped his fists before saying this. Mo Wuji had way too many good items and even snatched Jin Yiren¡¯s primal fire crystals so regardless the case, his Jin Clan must collect some interests from him. Zi Changluo shook his hand, "We will definitely exterminate Ping Fan but on a more urgent note, the Gods Race military is planning to launch an attack on our Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City so this matter could hold out for the time being." Chapter 793: Besiegement of Ping Fan Chapter 793: Besiegement of Ping Fan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao Emperor, I think we should perhaps capture everyone in Mo Wuji¡¯s Ping Fan Immortal School and send them here to the Gods Race so as to appease their anger," Jin Yu hurried to add in because he really wanted to initiate the attack on Ping Fan. He suspected that the people at Ping Fan knew about Mo Wuji¡¯s whereabouts and if so, not only would he be able to obtain the good items from Ping Fan, he would also be informed as to where Mo Wuji was hiding. "Foolish!" A cold and sharp voice sounded, "Our Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City had always been lust after by others and this time, it was simply because the Gods Race found an excuse to act against us. Even if the Gods Race didn¡¯t find an excuse to do so, other races would also find excuses to get rid of the Human Race. The one speaking was a middle aged man with sharp eyebrows and he seemed slightly skinny. Everyone in the hall recognised this man as the Very High Heavens¡¯ Grand Emperor, Zhong Minshan and he was also one of the main court protectors of the Very High Heavens. Zhong Minshan was very strong but he was slightly old-fashioned and had a very bad temper. This was the reason why he didn¡¯t have much friends in the Very High Heavens. Jin Yu stared coldly at Zhong Minshan before saying, "According to the words of court protector, are you saying that Mo Wuji¡¯s act of killing the talented young lord Wu Li didn¡¯t cause any trouble for us, Human Race?" Zhong Minshan laughed out loud as his expression of ridicule became increasingly obvious. Concurrently, he raised his hand, pointed at Jin Yu and shouted, "It is because of weaklings and cowards like you which was why our Human Race in the Immortal World was getting increasingly oppressed and eventually shrinking into only a small immortal city. Even if we¡¯re only a small immortal city here, cowards like you would ruin it in time to come." Zi Changluo¡¯s expression turned ugly and there was even traces of coldness in his eyes. The main reason why the Human Race was severely oppressed in the Immortal World and was eventually left with only a small immortal city was because of him, Zi Changluo. After stepping into the Grand Emperor Stage, he had already sensed that he had surpassed the Laws of the Immortal World. After finding out about the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, he was ambitious and wanted to take command of the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos despite the large territory that the Human Race controlled in the Immortal World. At that point in time, the Human Race was the strongest race in the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Eventually, some smaller races started telling the other bigger races like the Gods Race, Demon Race and Devil Race about the appearance of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. The intervention of these races resulted in the eventual taking over of the Human Race¡¯s territories. In the end, they were only left with the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. The Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City was able to survive only because it had a peak grade defensive array. This defensive array was even slightly stronger than the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge. Moreover, all the other races were frantically trying to collect as many cultivation resources as possible so why would they pit their life against the Human Race? After all, the Human Race was only left with one last immortal city in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos so any attempt to snatch this immortal city would result in a possible all out retaliation by the Human Race. Because Zi Changluo was the main reason why the Human Race was only left with one immortal city, Zhong Minshan caused his expression to turn ugly when he mentioned about this incident. Jin Yu clasped his fists towards Zi Changluo before replying Zhong Minshan with a cold tone, "According to your logic, Mo Wuji should cause trouble for the Human Race by killing Wu Li, should provoke the West River Religious Order and the Mifei Trade Union? We, the Human Race, should sacrifice our lives to settle his debt?" Zhong Minshan said disdainfully, "How many talents of the Human Race had Wu Li killed using the name of the Dao Discussion Stage? I could easily think of over ten geniuses who were killed by Wu Li. You actually want to exterminate Ping Fan, capture all their members and hand them over to the Gods Race to plead that they don¡¯t attack us just because Mo Wuji killed Wu Li? Jin Yu, don¡¯t think that nobody know how your Jin Clan had a share in the Mifei Trade Union. You are not worthy of being a Human Race cultivator let alone the Very High Heavens. "Enough! Zhong Minshan, go back down now," Zi Changluo¡¯s tone got increasingly cold. Even though Zhong Minshan was talking about Jin Yu and the Jin Clan, he was actually disrespecting Zi Changluo by talking so brazenly here. "Boom!" An intense tremble could be felt and the entire hall was shaking. Zi Changluo stood up hurriedly with a worried look. The Gods Race experts had already arrived to attack their defensive array even before the Gods Race military is here. This was simply not putting the Human Race in any regards at all. ¡­ Mo Wuji stopped cultivating with an equally ugly expression. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want to continue cultivating but because he had been in seclusion for over a year now, exhausted over one to two millions green crystals and was still unable to touch or sense the Immortal Emperor Stage. It wasn¡¯t just the Immortal Emperor Stage but even the Quasi-Emperor Stage was still too far away from him. He knew that his prediction had turned into reality. That was how the amount of time he accumulated was too little and even with the fortune of cultivation resources he had coupled with his unbelievable immortal mortal technique, he was still unable to advance into the Immortal Emperor Stage in the short term. Fortunately in the past year of secluded cultivation, his immortal energy had been further improved and was already in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. He was definitely stronger by yet another level. Shuai Guo was still in its deep slumber in Mo Wuji¡¯s Undying World while the seven Elemental Dao Fruit was already ripped and kept in seven different jade vases. Because he was no longer able to improve any further and the dangerous beasts outside, Mo Wuji stopped cultivating and chose not to leave but started refining equipments instead. Currently, he had mountains of materials to refine equipments and not only could refining and forging of equipments help improve his smithing standard, it could also stablise his insights towards his own dao. In terms of his Grand Dao, smithing of equipments was a method to improve and Mo Wuji was well aware that he mustn''t rush through things at a time like this. The more he rushed, the more sluggish his Grand Dao would be. As time passed by, the mountains of equipment materials beside Mo Wuji shrinked while the number of immortal equipments beside him grew increasingly. It grew from Grade 5 to Grade 6 and ended up with loads of Grade 7 immortal equipments beside him. Yet another two years had passed and just as Mo Wuji was barely able to forge Grade 9 immortal equipments, he realised that he only had over 10 peak grade immortal materials left. He had already exhausted the rest of the materials. After these few years of forging equipments, Mo Wuji could truly sense how extraordinary his Immortal Mortal Technique was. Changing something rotten into something magical could best describe his Immortal Mortal Technique. If it was anyone else, they would definitely not able to advance from a Grade 6 Smith Master to a Grade 9 Smith Emperor so quickly even with Xu Suren¡¯s guidance. The only regret Mo Wuji had was that he was still in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. Despite this, his energy was much rounded as compared to three years ago. In his heart, Mo Wuji was clear that he had yet to enter the Quasi-Emperor Stage let alone, touch the rim of the Immortal Emperor Stage. Fortunately, there was still a pond with him and he decided to cleanse himself for another three years. If he was still unable to feel the Immortal Emperor Stage within the three years, he would leave this place even with the risks present. The pond was slightly chilly but not icy cold. Mo Wuji sat at the bottom of the pond as he used all his force to circulate his physique tempering technique. The water within the pond might not be able to temper Mo Wuji¡¯s physique but when he executed his physique tempering technique, it could cleanse the impurities within his body. Once there were lesser impurities in the fleshly body, one¡¯s understanding towards their own dao insights would be greater, their rate of cultivation would double and their physique would improve to the next level too. While Mo Wuji was completely immersed in the pond to cleanse himself, Ping Fan¡¯s defensive array was surrounded by over ten experts. If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely recognise Jin Yu and Jin Yiren among the group of people here. Further away from Ping Fan¡¯s defensive array was a stunning looking woman standing on mid air. She looked suspiciously at Ping Fan as she followed her own star locket here. She clearly gave the star locket to Mo Wuji but why was it hung on another woman¡¯s neck? "Boom!" Jin Yu and co. had already completed the installation of the deathtrap array as they started attacking Ping Fan. "Stop! Why is your Very High Heavens attacking my Ping Fan?" Su Zi¡¯An shouted furiously as he landed on the periphery of the defensive array. Wei Zidao, Jian Mingcheng and Nie Chongan were all standing on the side of Elder Su. Even though Su Zi¡¯An was still one step away from becoming an Immortal Emperor, he was the designated sect head for the time being. When Mo Wuji was not around, Su Zi¡¯An would be the sect head. "Ping Fan?" Jin Yiren laughed wildly, "Mo Wuji had committed so many crimes in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos so why should Ping Fan still exists? Let me tell you that we would even extract and refine the soul of a dog found in Ping Fan." "Boom! Just as Jin Yiren finished his piece, Jin Yu shouted and over 10 Immortal Emperors and Grand Emperors drew out their magic treasures. "Stop!" Yet another clear voice could be heard and the one speaking was no longer a person from within Ping Fan but a stunning looking woman. She was standing right in front of the ten Immortal Emperors surrounding Ping Fan but no one actually knew when she arrived. "The extermination of Ping Fan is a decree of the Dao Emperor and who might you be to actually dare to obstruct?" A yellow bearded Grand Emperor stood out to shout. "The few of you want to exterminate Ping Fan but what has this got to do with Mo Wuji?" The stunning looking woman¡¯s tone was extremely calm. Perhaps because this woman came abruptly which was why the few Grand Emperors didn¡¯t notice her. Now that she asked, someone replied, "Mo Wuji is the sect head of Ping Fan and he had committed some severe crimes in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and implicated the Human Race. Because of this, the Dao Emperor had ordered for us to exterminate Ping Fan." Once the stunning looking woman heard these words, she shook her hand and said, "Since this is the case, then all of you should leave. Mo Wuji is my junior brother so I will not allow you to exterminate Ping Fan." Jin Yu shouted yet again, "Everyone attack together!" Over ten Immortal Emperors drew their magic treasures simultaneously as they charged towards the woman. A sky overwhelmed with energy swept over and at that very moment, even Su Zi¡¯An and co. who were inside the array could feel the oppressiveness of space. This stunning looking woman only needed a single swing of the han and over 10 peak grade magic treasures disappeared without a trace. The oppressive and dark energy in the sky had instantly dissipated too. At this moment, the woman said faintly, "Leave now because otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for turning nasty." Having said that, this woman¡¯s mighty domain extended towards them and all these Immortal Emperors could feel a steel hammer banging against their chest as they spat out fresh blood and flew backwards. Without the need for this woman to repeat herself, these Immortal Emperors escaped in a hurry as they didn¡¯t even have the courage to retrieve their own magic treasures. They were certain that even Dao Emperor Zi Changluo wouldn¡¯t be a match for this woman. "Many thanks senior for lending your helping hand. Ping Fan¡¯s temporary sect head, Su Zi¡¯An greets senior," Su Zi¡¯An hurried to open the protecting array to greet the senior. This good looking woman nodded her head, "My name is Ji Li and because I am about to leave this place, I¡¯ve decided to pay a visit to Junior Brother Mo Wuji." Ji Li was warm, kind hearted and hated killing. This was also the reason why she didn¡¯t kill any one of those people who tried to besiege Ping Fan. Chapter 794: Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor Chapter 794: Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Bang!" The tremor from the attacked defensive array shocked Mo Wuji, who was fully focused on tempering his physique. He instantly put on some clothes as he dashed out of the pond and landed right on the periphery of the defensive array. Standing outside the defensive array were three people and one of them was a tall built, squared and black face man. The other two included a tiny, delicate looking yellow haired girl and another small size youth, who was almost half the height of the black face man. Mo Wuji estimated that he was only at most 1.5metres tall. Mo Wuji recognised the black face man as the same black ape previously. This fella had yet to got its hands on the Transformation Dao Fruit and was already able to transform. "Its you?" The black face man exclaimed at the sight of Mo Wuji because back when he was battling Beaver Chu, his spiritual will had detected Mo Wuji too. To him, regardless of how severely injured Beaver Chu was, getting rid of Mo Wuji should be as easy as getting rid of an ant. What he didn¡¯t expect was that Beaver Chu was no longer around while that Mo Wuji remained here. The truth presented itself in front of him which clearly meant that Mo Wuji had gotten rid of Beaver Chu. "That¡¯s right, its me. What is the meaning of the few of you attacking the defensive array of my immortal cave for no reason?" Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turned ugly as the energy surrounding him started surging. Under the pressure from Mo Wuji¡¯s energy, the space between them even started to tremble slightly. Mo Wuji was clear that even though the three of them looked like humans, all three of them should be peak class demonic beasts who used to live here. Regardless of whichever came out, they wouldn¡¯t be any weaker than that beaver. Even so, Mo Wuji was not fearful of any of them because after the many years of secluded cultivation, his strength was several folds stronger than before despite not advancing into Immortal Emperor Stage. Furthermore, this was his territory and there were several deathtrap and killing arrays installed at the side of this place. Sensing that Mo Wuji¡¯s aura was not much weaker than an Immortal Emperor¡¯s aura, the three people took a few steps back subconsciously. Simultaneously, they were inwardly shocked because they knew that Mo Wuji was no weaker than any one of the trio. That delicate woman chuckled before clasping her fists, "Since this big brother is staying here, I¡¯m guessing that the dumb beaver had fallen." Mo Wuji pretended to be surprised as he said, "That I am really unsure because when I arrived, I find this place decent and the fact that nobody came to disturb intrigued me to turn this place into my immortal cave." It would be impossible for him to admit that he killed that beaver because he would rather fight than to let the opponent have information which they could use against him. The delicate woman smiled once more, "It''s okay since that dumb beaver is no longer around. Let me introduce you to the few of us. My name is Fox Chunchun and I am from the Hidden Abyss. These two are Big Brother Ape Mo and Big Brother Golden Iron Crane from the Shattered Mountain and the Land of the Phoenix Nest respectively." Mo Wuji clasped his fists in return, "It¡¯s an honour to meet the few of you at last. I am sure that the few of you are experts of this area but I still couldn¡¯t wrap my head around why the few experts would attack my place?" Other than that black ape who Mo Wuji had met before, Mo Wuji was completely unaware of where Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane were from. However, Mo Wuji was certain that whoever could survive in a place like this would definitely not be weak. Today, he could forget about the fact that these few strong demonic beasts attacked his immortal cave but it would definitely be much tougher for him to survive in a place like this in the future. "And may I know the name of this Dao Friend here?" He Chunchun¡¯s tone was gentle and modest. "My name is Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji replied calmly while his killing intent rose concurrently. If this woman continued to ignore his question blatantly, he would attack immediately. "Big Brother Mo, please don¡¯t be angry because I¡¯ll explain why we are here now. Initially, we found a decent historical remnant and was only short of one more person to open it up. We wanted to find that Beaver Chu to leave with us but since he is not around, why don¡¯t Big Brother Mo group up with us and go over together? This is of course, if Big Brother Mo is willing," Fox Chunchun said hurriedly. So it seemed like the beaver which he previously killed was called Beaver Chu. Mo Wuji answered calmly, "I have only been here for a few years and even though I am pretty confident of my own ability, I am afraid of being plot against in the dark. There were countless of experts here and if the few of you want to invite a passerby like me to join your group, I don¡¯t have enough guts to go over before making clear of the situation." The shorter Golden Iron Crane said abruptly, "Big Brother Mo, the fact that you could get rid of Beaver Chu meant that you are not weaker than any one of us here. It is not that we didn¡¯t want to find anyone else but because both Diao He and Bao Bu were selfish fellas who couldn¡¯t get along with us. We are truly sincere in asking Big Brother Mo to join us but naturally, we wouldn¡¯t force Big Brother Mo if you are really reluctant." Mo Wuji could sense that Golden Iron Crane was not lying to him and moreover, these few people should be here to look for Beaver Chu. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Is it possible for you to tell me what the historical remnant is related to?" Golden Iron Crane and the two others exchanged glances before Fox Chunchun replied, "Big Brother Mo, I believe that you should have heard about the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor?" Mo Wuji felt slightly awkward because he had never heard of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. From Fox Chunchun¡¯s tone, it seemed like the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor was very renowned. "The rumour about that historical remnant was about the location of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor," Fox Chunchun continued. "Junior Sister Hu, I am not completely aware of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor so may I get Junior Sister Hu to explain briefly to me," Mo Wuji hurried to ask. Fox Chunchun and co. stared blankly at Mo Wuji because to them, it should be impossible for him to be unaware of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor regardless of the race he was in. Given Mo Wuji¡¯s strength, he should have cultivated for over a few hundred years already right? How could such an expert not know of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor? Fox Chunchun came back to her senses very quickly and whether or not Mo Wuji knew about the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor, she explained patiently, "Back then, there was a supremely talented cultivator of the Demon Race, whose name was unknown even up till today and the only name he left behind was the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. This was because he had three treasures which names are famous throughout the entire cosmos. He was from the Demon Race yet he cultivated the Buddhism Dao and was a master of the Buddhism Dao with deep insights. In a very short period of time, he managed to step into the pinnacle of the realm of Buddhism Dao. At that time, he left the Demon Race to move towards the top races and while he was in those races, he continued to expand his Buddhism Dao while continuously passing on his own Buddhism Dao¡¯s legacy. We are unsure of how many legacies the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had left behind as it was eventually lost within the vast void. The historical remnant that we found was rumoured to be the location of secluded cultivation by the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. However, we also suspected that the same place was where the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had fallen." Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "May I ask what the three renowned treasures are?" "There is a One Buddha Lotus Seat, Seven Buddha Scripture and the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp." Mo Wuji was shocked because he had heard of all three treasures. In fact, wasn¡¯t the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp the one that Su Xi had? Wasn¡¯t these three treasures the three great treasures of the Buddhist Sect in the Immortal World so since when was it the items of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor? The Seven Buddha Scripture was a duplicated jade letter and he even had one of it with him which he exchanged with Monk Da Ning previously. Because his rate of cultivation had been rapid and possessed quite a number of sacred arts himself, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t look at the Seven Buddha Scripture. He didn¡¯t expect that someone would actually invite him to look for the immortal cave of the owner of the Seven Buddha Scripture. Noticing that Mo Wuji remained silent, Fox Chunchun continued, "The Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had cultivated to the extreme and rumours spread that he had found the realm after the Grand Emperor Stage. Presently, we are all stuck at the same stage without being able to progress further which was why we hope to find the historical remnant of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor as it would definitely worth more than our own hundred years secluded cultivation." "Isn¡¯t the stage after the Immortal Emperor Stage called the Dao Emperor Stage?" Mo Wuji asked intentionally as he had heard from Feng Huang that it wasn¡¯t the Dao Emperor Stage. Ape Mo, who remained silent throughout chuckled coldly, "That is their own foolish fantasy because the Grand Emperor Stage was equivalent to our Demon Race¡¯s Class 9 experts. According to their logic, Class 10 of our Demon Race should be equivalent to the Dao Emperor Stage but the truth was there would only be quantitative changes when advancing from Class 9 to Class 10 and no qualitative changes involved. The lies about Dao Emperor were simply a joke." Mo Wuji was impressed with Ape Mo because he simply didn¡¯t expect this black ape to be able to say such logical words. Regardless, he was indeed interested to take a look at the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor¡¯s historical remnant because he himself was stuck at the Immortal Reverent Realm. He really wanted to know how the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor further progress past the Grand Emperor Stage. "Alright, I agree to go look for it with the few of you," Mo Wuji no longer hesitated as he agreed to the invitation of these three demonic beasts. By being acquainted with these few fellas, he would at least have some familiar friends by the time he left this place. "Big Brother Mo is indeed a forthright man," Golden Iron Crane praised excitedly. "Immortal Friend Mo, I wonder if you could exchange one fruit which you obtained from Beaver Chu with me?" Hearing that Mo Wuji was willing to look for the historical remnants of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor with them, Ape Mo suddenly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji. An item like the Transformation Dao Fruit was not particularly valuable to Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji was aware of how important and precious this fruit was to Ape Mo. He replied without any hesitation, "Of course! Once we¡¯ve completed the search, I will trade the fruit with you." "Alright, great! Many thanks Brother Mo, many thanks Brother Mo¡­" Ape Mo sounded slightly excited because he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to be this straightforward and easy going. If he knew that Mo Wuji was this easy going, he would have came over to trade with Mo Wuji earlier. Previously, he took out a few items to trade with Beaver Chu for one Transformation Dao Fruit but that Beaver Chu was reluctant to trade and eventually resulting in losses on both side. "Dao Friend Hu, could I invite you to lead the way? We could leave from wherever is the nearest," Mo Wuji said while laughing because he wanted to also ask about the route to leave this place. Fox Chunchun said hurriedly, "This is not possible because the two fellas, Diao Hen and Bao Bu occupied the two large areas which lock up the exits here. If we were spotted by these two fellas on our way out, they would definitely not let us go peacefully. We will leave from Big Brother Ape Mo and Big Brother Jin¡¯s territory and despite the longer route, it wouldn¡¯t delay anything important." Mo Wuji was astonished and glad that he didn¡¯t choose to leave this place in a hurry. Listening to how Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane mentioned about Diao Hen and Bao Bu twice, nothing good would probably come from being trapped by those two fellas. Chapter 795: Oblique Space Sea Island Chapter 795: Oblique Space Sea Island Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Fox Chunchun led the way with Golden Iron Crane just behind her followed by Mo Wuji and then Ape Mo watching the back. The four of them didn¡¯t draw out their flying treasures as they simply moved swiftly on land. Whether it was Fox Chunchun or Golden Iron Crane, their speed was extremely incredible as they looked like a ray of light flashing by. The reason why Fox Chunchun moved so fast was because she wanted to know if Mo Wuji¡¯s speed was as incredible as his strength and aura. After moving for less than half an incense worth of time, Fox Chunchun, Golden Iron Crane and Ape Mo were all equally shocked. Whether they sped up or slowed down, moved through a bend or advanced through water, Mo Wuji appeared like he was strolling carefully as his actions looked effortless. Evidently, all three of their speed would not be a match for Mo Wuji unless they used magic flying treasures. At this moment, Fox Chunchun started to suspect that Mo Wuji was not the Human Race but the Demon Race, who was extremely sensitive to speed. "Dao Friend Ape, I accidentally broke my storage ring which contained the map of the Shattered Ruins in my previous battle. Do you still have any detailed spatial map of the Shattered Ruins on a jade letter to duplicate one copy for me?" Mo Wuji whispered to Ape Mo, who was moving behind him. "Map of the Shattered Ruins?" Ape Mo asked the question again before saying, "I am truly sorry but I¡¯ve never been to the Shattered Ruins so I don¡¯t have that map." Mo Wuji almost came to a halt as he heard this. As long as he wasn¡¯t an idiot, he would know that Wu Li¡¯s escape talisman didn¡¯t send him into the depths of the Shattered Ruins. However, what kind of place would have this many experts if it wasn¡¯t the Shattered Ruins? "Ah, its okay then. I fought my way here and now I no longer know the path back to the Shattered Ruins," Mo Wuji was really interested to find out the exact location of the place he was in. Ape Mo questioned curiously, "Dao Friend Mo, how did you arrive here at the Oblique Space Sea Island?" This place is the Oblique Space Sea Island? Mo Wuji sensed Ape Mo¡¯s doubt so he knew that he couldn¡¯t continue to speak blindly because otherwise, Ape Mo would definitely detect it. Mo Wuji sighed and said, "I was surrounded by eight Dao Emperors and after I killed one of them, I used an escape talisman to escape. I landed right where Beaver Li stayed at and you should be aware of everything that occurred after that. Mo Wuji intentionally increased the number of Dao Emperors who surrounded him by 8 folds so that Ape Mo would feel frightened when he heard this. Ape Mo was rejoicing secretly that he didn¡¯t try to snatch the Transformation Dao Fruit forcefully because he probably won''t know how he died even after death. "Brother Mo, your sacred art is indeed impressive and I, Ape Mo, is full of admiration," Ape Mo said truthfully. Ape Mo wouldn¡¯t find it surprising if Mo Wuji managed to kill a Dao Emperor in a fight but to say that Mo Wuji killed one Dao Emperor while being surrounded by 8 of them before managing to escape successfully, this was simply too frightening. Even the 8 Grand Emperors in the Oblique Space Sea Island wouldn¡¯t be able to do so. He didn¡¯t suspect that Mo Wuji could be lying because it was true that Mo Wuji killed Beaver Chu. After a few encounters with Beaver Chu personally, Ape Mo knew that Beaver Chu was no weaker than him which meant that Mo Wuji could easily get rid of him too. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Brother Ape, this meant nothing but how do I leave this Oblique Space Sea Island now? This is my first time hearing about this island." How was Mo Wuji supposed to leave this place if he had never heard of it before? Perhaps it was because Ape Mo really wanted the Transformation Dao Fruit which was why he answered patiently, "Dao Friend Mo, I am afraid that it would be slightly tough for you to exit the Oblique Space Sea Island once you¡¯ve entered. Do you know about the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor?" "I know of that and I also know that the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor is a decent place with quite a few decent items appearing occasionally," Mo Wuji answered without hesitation. Since Ape Mo was finally talking about a place that he knew, he had to speak directly. Ape Mo explained, "Honestly, the Oblique Space Sea Island is quite similar to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. The island we are on is on the Oblique Sea and the Oblique Sea belonged to the space which is why this place is called the Oblique Space Sea Island. We are on the island now but once leave the island, you will be able to see what the Oblique Space Sea looks like." "Does Brother Ape have a map?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. Ape Mo took out and handed Mo Wuji a jade letter, "Brother Mo, this is the map of the Oblique Space Sea Island but giving it to you is equivalent to not giving at all." "Why?" Mo Wuji asked inquisitively as he took over the map. Ape Mo sighed, "Because there are eight peak grade experts on the Oblique Space Sea Island and they are called the Eight Great Grand Emperors. The Oblique Space Sea Island have countless of mighty demon cultivators but the strongest would be the Eight Great Grand Emperors. These Eight Great Grand Emperors actually sealed up a large portion of the Oblique Space Sea Island using their own defensive array and the island itself was also protected very tightly. Anyone who wished to leave the island would alert the Eight Great Grand Emperors and eventually be killed. No one is allowed to leave this place." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath of cold air as he was inwardly rejoicing that he didn¡¯t choose to leave rashly. "Won¡¯t we be spotted since we are leaving now?" Mo Wuji hurried to ask. Ape Mo chuckled, "You don¡¯t have to worry about this because with Fox Chunchun leading the way, it would be safe and moreover, we wouldn¡¯t be leaving the Oblique Space Sea Island as we would simply be looking for some opportunities at the periphery of the island. Many people are there in search of opportunities and at that point in time, all we needed to do would be to offer them some benefits." "Brother Ape, are Diao Hen and Bao Bu two of the Eight Great Grand Emperors?" Mo Wuji asked. Ape Mo replied, "Yes, out of the Eight Great Grand Emperors, these two are the hardest to work with because they are selfish and greedy. This time, we will be heading towards the Red Eyes Turtle¡¯s territory because he was considered to easiest to negotiate terms with." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will scanned through Ape Mo¡¯s jade letter and the instance he saw what he saw on the jade letter, he was left speechless. Mo Wuji had seen way too many seas in the world but this was the first time Mo Wuji saw something like the Oblique Space Sea. Even the energy exuded from the map on the jade letter felt vast and magnificent. A boundless sea suspended in the middle of space and from the position seen from the jade letter, this vast sea seemed to be inclined on a slope within the vast space. Within the slanted sea, there was a lot of islands and one of them was marked out with a bright spot. Mo Wuji knew that this bright spot should be where they were located at and besides that, some territories owned by the Eight Great Grand Emperors were also marked out. Mo Wuji kept the jade letter as he was prepared to take a deeper look at this map when he had spare time. He must find at least one safe route before preparing himself to the fullest before leaving this island. Enroute to their destination, Mo Wuji saw a few low tier immortal herbs and even spotted Tier 7 immortal herbs. Evidently, this island was pretty rich in resources. Fox Chunchun didn¡¯t appear like it was her first time navigating through this path as she turned left and right swifty. After moving for almost half a day, Fox Chunchun finally came to a halt before looking at Mo Wuji and the two others, "Three Big Brothers, right ahead of us would be Big Brother Red Eyes¡¯ territory. There is a path from Big Brother Red Eyes¡¯ territory which we can walk through but to do so, we needed to each take out something in exchange. I am going to offer a top grade immortal vein." "I am also taking out a top grade immortal vein," Golden Iron Crane hurried to add in. Ape Mo looked at Mo Wuji as he asked, "What is Immortal Friend Mo intending to take out?" Mo Wuji replied, "Can I use green crystals?" From his own senses, the energy from the green crystals was much denser and of a higher grade than immortal veins but immortal veins were of much broader use to immortals than green crystals. Fox Chunchun paused for a moment before answering, "Big Brother Mo, it would be better if you used immortal vein. Big Brother Red Eyes is a negotiable person so it would be better if we don¡¯t shortchange him. Who knows if we ever need Big Brother Red Eyes¡¯ help in the future to go to the Oblique Space Sea?" Mo Wuji questioned, "Could green crystals not be as good as immortal vein?" Golden Iron Crane chuckled as he said, "This is what the people at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos believed because in the Oblique Space Sea Island, nobody would think that green crystals are better than immortal veins. Cultivating with green crystals is indeed fast and the energy within is also of a higher grade than immortal energy. However, don¡¯t forget that green crystals are only fragments of another crystal and is not a complete crystal of its own." An item like this lacked the Heaven and Earth¡¯s dao spirituality and also lacked the dao spirituality of enlightenment. The only advantage of cultivating with the green crystals would be the rate of cultivation. On the other hand, there were far too many disadvantages and one example for cultivators who used large amount of green crystals to cultivate would be being stuck at the same stage without being able to progress further. Another example would be that the capability of gaining insights of sacred art would be weaker and it wouldn¡¯t be beneficial for further advancements." Fox Chunchun added, "Fragments like the green crystals contained energy which belonged to a much higher grade crystal. If we are not at that level and we choose to use green crystals to cultivate, we would merely be absorbing the elemental energy within it. Once we¡¯ve cultivated to the level that we¡¯re at, we are all aware at that cultivation requires both elemental energy and insights of the Heaven and Earth dao spirituality." Mo Wuji was feeling slightly agonized because he had treated the millions of green crystals on him as treasures while he put away the three immortal veins in his Undying World. It seemed like experts of the Gods Race didn¡¯t hold high regard for immortal veins because out of the five storage rings which he took, he only obtained three peak grade immortal veins. His guess was that the intermediate and top grade immortal veins were used to install their own energy gathering array. Mo Wuji started to wonder if the reason why he couldn¡¯t step into the Immortal Emperor Stage was related to his use of green crystals to cultivate. "Could I use a True Emperor Pill then?" Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t want to take out his peak grade immortal vein because he intended to head back to use his immortal vein to cultivate instead of green crystals. "You have a True Emperor Pill?" Fox Chunchun exclaimed and before she could wait for Mo Wuji to respond, she took the initiative, "It is definitely possible with the True Emperor Pill because this is extremely valuable in the Oblique Space Sea Island." Mo Wuji took out a jade vase to Fox Chunchun as he said, "I won¡¯t need this now so let¡¯s give it away then." Fox Chunchun didn¡¯t mind because as she thought of it, Mo Wiji had already stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage a long time ago. A mightily strong Immortal Emperor naturally didn¡¯t need the True Emperor Pill. What gained her admiration was that Mo Wuji was actually willing to take out a True Emperor Pill and one must know that the True Emperor Pill was extremely valuable here in the Oblique Space Sea Island. Chapter 796: Battling One Of The Eight Great Grand Emperors Chapter 796: Battling One Of The Eight Great Grand Emperors Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The few of them passed their things over to Fox Chunchun. With Fox Chunchun leading the way, they soon arrived at a huge and spacious plaza. Even though it looks like a plaza, Mo Wuji knew that it was actually a pier. Three sides of the plaza were surrounded by seawater, and the entire space was protected by arrays. Clearly, this plaza was the pier to enter the Oblique Space Sea. There were many people in the plaza, and they were of various kinds of shapes and forms. Demonic beasts that were in their true forms occupied a good half of the plaza. There were even some plant-like beings that came to the plaza. Mo Wuji did not seem to find another true human race cultivator. Mo Wuji and co. followed behind Fox Chunchun. When they reached the edge of the pier, Fox Chunchun handed over three high-grade immortal veins and a True Emperor Pill. "Eh, there''s a True Emperor Pill?" A sound of exclamation came from the seafaring fee collection window. "Who brought a True Emperor Pill?" A deep voice sounded. Thereafter, a muscular and sturdy man walked over. This man exuded a power which seemed capable of tearing through anything, and his stature was not much smaller than Ape Mo. Additionally, there were multiple white tattoos on this man''s head, and his arms were extremely long. Even though he was so tall, his long arms extended beyond his knees; they even seemed capable of touching his heels. "Fox Chunchun greets Territory Lord Bao." When she saw this man, Fox Chunchun''s face changed slightly and she hurriedly bowed in respect. It wasn''t just Fox Chunchun, even Ape Mo and the Golden Iron Crane bowed respectfully. Mo Wuji did not recognise this man, but after hearing Fox Chunchun address him as "Territory Lord" and feeling his immense power, Mo Wuji could guess that he was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors feared by Fox Chunchun and co. - Bao Bu. Mo Wuji didn''t want to offend this person, so he followed Fox Chunchun and co., and clasped his fists. "Little fox, it''s clearly closer for you to enter the sea from my territory. Why did you go the distance to come to Red Eyes¡¯s territory?Do you look down on me, Bao Bu?" The muscular man stared at Fox Chunchun through squinted eyes and snorted coldly. Fox Chunchun went still; she was momentarily unable to speak. After all, she couldn''t say that they didn''t dare to leave from Bao Bu¡¯s territory because they were afraid of him, right? "Haha! Little Brother Bao Bu, since you''ve come to my territory, why didn''t you come and pay a visit? You made me think that you were here to snatch my territory." A loud chortle broke the silence. Following which, a middle-aged man which a relatively normal stature walked over. This middle-aged man had copper skin, and there were occasional flashes of red in his eyes. Even though his size was much smaller than Bao Bu, the moment this man walked over, that overbearing pressure of Bao Bu''s was instantly negated. Bao Bu was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors. Seeing that this relatively short man easily dismiss Bao Bu''s immense aura, Mo Wuji could easily guess that this man should also be one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors - Red Eyes Turtle. "I was pursuing someone. I was intending to pay a visit to Brother Red Eyes, but I didn¡¯t think that I would encounter the people I was pursuing," Bao Bu replied similarly with a chuckle. "Oh, I wonder who Little Brother Bao is pursuing?" Red Eyes Turtle asked in astonishment. Mo Wuji could already see that Bao Bu had some reservations towards Red Eyes Turtle. At least in terms of address, Bao Bu didn¡¯t dare to place himself on a higher seniority than Red Eyes Turtle. "My things have been stolen. I chased them following their aura and I finally found some loose threads here," Bao Bu said indifferently. Mo Wuji saw that when Bao Bu was speaking, Bao Bu¡¯s gaze towards them. He silently lamented in his heart. "What kind of things?" Red Eyes Turtle asked in doubt. Bao Bu¡¯s tone became more casual, "Just some things of little value. There are some True Emperor Pills among them¡­" "True Emperor Pills?" Red Eyes Turtle was incomparably shocked. He had come relatively late and he didn¡¯t know that one of those True Emperor Pills had already fallen into his possession. On this Oblique Space Sea island, there was no dearth of immortal herbs. In fact, the amount of peak grade immortal herbs here was enough to even form a hill. However, various kinds of pills were very rare, much less a Tier 9 pill like the True Emperor Pill. This sort of pill was already very rare among the alchemy-adept human race. This was even more pronounced on this island. Bao Bu pointed towards Mo Wuji and co. and he said with a cold chill in his voice, "Just now, that True Emperor Pill was from the four of you, right? Follow me back to Thousand Mountains Channel to explain yourselves." Red Eyes Turtle did not know the exact situation, but he could feel that there was something amiss in Bao Bu¡¯s words. However, he also didn¡¯t want to offend Bao Bu for no reason. At this point, Mo Wuji noticed that Fox Chunchun seemed like she wanted to speak, and he knew that things weren¡¯t going to go well. The group of them were merely strangers that met by chance; they were only a team that was formed temporarily to search the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor¡¯s treasures. If Fox Chunchun were to speak, she would definitely throw the three of them under the bus so that she would be absolved of the blame. "Let me speak." Mo Wuji took a step forward, standing in front of Fox Chunchun. When Fox Chunchun saw Mo Wuji stand forward, she also didn¡¯t dare to say anything further. At this point, Mo Wuji transmitted a message to Ape Mo and asked, "Brother Shuai, the territory that I¡¯m living in belongs to which Grand Emperor?" Ape Mo did not find this shocking; he knew that Mo Wuji had accidentally barged into the Oblique Space Sea Island and didn¡¯t know much about the powers here. He immediately answered Mo Wuji¡¯s message in a transmission, "You killed Beaver Chu, so that pool is your personal territory. In the Oblique Space Sea Island, every expert has their own territory and these territories don¡¯t belong to any Grand Emperor. However, the Eight Great Grand Emperors¡¯ territories border the sea. Anyone that wishes to set out to sea must go through them. This is how they amass large fortunes for themselves." So it was like that. After Mo Wuji understood that point, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother Red Eyes, Bao Bu is uttering nonsense. He probably knows that I can concoct pills, which is why he wants to capture me and have me concoct pills for me. That True Emperor Pill was concocted by me, but he actually used it as an excuse to capture me. He is simply shameless." "You can concoct the True Emperor Pill?" "You are a Tier 9 Pill Emperor?" Red Eyes Turtle and Bao Bu uttered in exclamation at almost the same time. Even Fox Chunchun and co. stared at Mo Wuji in shock. Who didn¡¯t know about the value of a Tier 9 Pill Emperor? In Oblique Space Sea Island, a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, or a person that controls a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, would definitely become a first-rate power in this island. "Haha!" Bao Bu was the first to react. He chortled loudly and said, "Who are you to speak of such extravagant claims! Today, you stole my items, so you must follow me. Brother Red Eyes, I, Bao Bu, am dragging away a thief on your territory. Bao Bu would definitely compensate you for this act." From Bao Bu¡¯s exclamation, Red Eyes Turtle could already tell that Bao Bu should be lying. However, he was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors. Before verifying whether Mo Wuji was truly a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, it really wasn¡¯t his place to interfere. After all, Bao Bu occupied the logical standpoint here. Feeling the immense pressure that Bao Bu was releasing, Fox Chunchun and co. subconsciously retreated. Mo Wuji wielded his Half Moon Weighted Halberd, furiously released his whirlpool and said coldly, "Bao Bu, you killed my friend Beaver Chu, stole Beaver Chu¡¯s storage ring and his five Emperor Dao Fruit. Even if you don¡¯t come to me, I would never let you go." Bao Bu jolted. Since when did he kill Beaver Chu? He stole Beaver Chu¡¯s Emperor Dao Fruit? At the very next instant, he reacted. Just like how he was maligning Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji was framing him. By this time, Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Weighted Halberd had already slashed forward: Sacred Art - Remnant Chasm. A lofty and boundless halberd light was rapidly being compressed by Mo Wuji till it was only 30,000 meters long. This 30,000m halberd light directly sealed the space around, At this instant, even Fox Chunchun and co., who were outside the domain of this halberd light, could feel the chilling killing intent released by this halberd light. "Boom!" Before this halberd light could descend, Mo Wujis and Bao Bu¡¯s domain clashed. What left Bao Bu shocked was that even when facing his savage domain, Mo Wuji¡¯s domain only dissipated slightly and recovered quickly. That whirlpool power within Mo Wuji¡¯s domain left him momentarily unable to release his control the surrounding space. Before Bao Bu could study Mo Wuji¡¯s domain, that sky-splitting halberd light had already descended. Anything in its way was directly ripped apart. Bao Bu extended an arm and blocked Mo Wuji¡¯s Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Waves of explosion reverberated through the air; both Mo Wuji¡¯s and Bao Bu¡¯s domains started to shatter. Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked. His Half Moon Weight Halberd was a peak Grade 9 immortal equipment. Even if Bao Bu¡¯s physique was impressive, and even if Bao Bu inherited insane qualities from his demonic beast legacy, Bao Bu still couldn¡¯t use his mere arms to defend against his Grade 9 Half Moon Weighted Halberd, right? Previously, he also used his fist to deal with immortal equipments. However, that was his Domain Crushing Fist; it was a sort of sacred art. Bao Bu clearly wasn¡¯t using some sacred art; he was simply using his arm to defend against the Half Moon Halberd Halberd. "Boom!" The sound of a violent clash resounded through the air. Immortal elemental energy exploded and domains shattered. A strong rebound from the Half Moon Weighted Halberd landed back on Mo Wuji, sending him flying back for tens of meters. He barely managed to maintain standing. His sea of consciousness was roiling continuously and the immortal elemental energy within his meridians was in chaos. Mo Wuji forcefully swallowed the blood that was forced into his mouth. His heart turned cold; compared to Bao Bu, he was truly too weak. If he didn¡¯t think of something, then this might be his final resting place. As Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded, Bao Bu¡¯s heart was also incomparably shocked. The way he saw it, that punch of his should have maimed Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji only retreated for a few tens of meters; Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even cough out any blood. Clearly, this self-proclaimed Tier 9 Pill Emperor was very impressive. Don¡¯t underestimate his move as a casual punch; Bao Bu knew clearly that his arms were his magic treasures. His arms were no weaker than Grade 9 immortal equipments; they might even be stronger. Compared to magic treasures, his arms were part of his body. Thus, they could move freely at will without any sort of sluggishness or delay. Moreover, he felt that Mo Wuji did not seem to have entered the Immortal Emperor Stage yet. If this guess was true, then this fella was truly too terrifying. He definitely had to get rid of Mo Wuji before he matures any further. Otherwise, if this fella advances to the Immortal Emperor Stage, then he, Bao Bu, could only wait and die. As he thought of this, Bao Bu erupted with his domain once more. His aura seemed to surge to its peak. With a single step, he appeared in front of Mo Wuji and he prepared for his next attack. Chapter 797: The Jiaolong Enters The Sea Chapter 797: The Jiaolong Enters The Sea Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji''s spiritual will turned to the seals at the edge of the pier; he wanted to see whether he could break through those seals in an instant, then escape into the Oblique Space Sea. He had to escape. No matter what he did, he wouldn''t be a match for Bao Bu. He could use his Spiritual Will Arrow, but Mo Wuji believed that even if he did that, it would not be enough to defeat Bao Bu. Moreover, if he uses the Spiritual Will Arrow, he would enter a state of extreme weakness. At that time, he would simply be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. "Wait." Just as Mo Wuji decided to sacrifice a Grade 9 defensive treasure to bear a blow from Bao Bu and use that opportunity to tear through the seals of the pier, Red Eyes Turtle called out. As he said this, Red Eyes Turtle had already landed in front of Bao Bu. Bao Bu¡¯s overbearing pressure was swept away by Red Eyes Turtle. At this time, Mo Wuji continued to retreat by several meters. He was still prepared to tear open the seals and escape at any given moment. He had scanned the array with his spirit storage channel and he knew that this defensive array was not a Grade 9 array. He had confidence that he would be able to escape in a short time. Red Eyes Turtle looked more honest than Bao Bu. However, Mo Wuji never believed in such things; he only believed in personal power. As long as one is powerful enough, then would one have the rights to speak. "Brother Red Eyes, you want to interfere with a brother''s matter?" Bao Bu had an ugly expression on his face, but he didn''t continue to attack. Red Eyes Turtle was no weaker than him and this was Red Eyes Turtle''s territory. Additionally, according to the history of Oblique Space Sea Island, his age was not even half of this Red Eyes Turtle in front of him. Red Eyes Turtle chuckled, "Little Brother Bao Bu, you can''t say that. We''re both from the Eight Great Grand Emperors; I will naturally help you. It''s just that my territory emphasizes reason and logic. Previously, I believed that this person had stolen your treasures, which was why I didn''t act. However, this person just said that you killed his friend, Beaver Chu, and even robbed five Emperor Dao Fruits. This puts me in a predicament. I don''t know who is speaking the truth, and who is telling lies." Mo Wuji sighed in relief. His previous words have taken effect. When he said that he could concoct Tier 9 immortal pills, both Red Eyes Turtle and Bao Bu would desperately try to get him. Thereafter, he showed that he was capable of resisting Bao Bu. Thus, Red Eyes Turtle had a greater impression of him and decided to help him. If he didn''t say that he was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, he was sure that an old fox like Red Eyes Turtle wouldn¡¯t bother to even come forward. Bao Bu''s expression went overcast, "Does that mean that Brother Red Eyes wants to help the man that stole my things? If that''s the case, then don''t blame me if I invite some brothers to come seek justice for me." Red Eyes Turtle maintained the wide smile on his face as he said, "Could it be that Brother Bao doesn''t understand me, Red Eyes? Why would I do such a thing? Of course, it''s because I heard what this brother said. If this brother is willing to have a sit at my residences, I will naturally be more than willing to extend an invitation. I, Red Eyes, have always been a good host. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be so many friends entering the Oblique Space Sea from my territory. If this brother isn''t willing to visit my residences now, I''m also willing to welcome him at another time." "May I ask how I can address this brother?" Red Eyes Turtle acted as though he didn''t notice Bao Bu''s gloomy expression as he turned to clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji also clasped his fists, "Mo Wuji. I really have to thank Brother Red Eyes for speaking up for me." "There¡¯s no need for that. I, Red Eyes, have always done things on the side of reason. Where is Brother Mo heading to now? If you''re interested in being a guest at my residences, I, Red Eyes, will definitely welcome you warmly," Red Eyes Turtle said with a warm smile. He was sure that Mo Wuji would definitely request to follow him. After all, there was nowhere else that Mo Wuji could go. Besides his residences, anywhere else that Mo Wuji went would be in danger of Bao Bu''s pursuit. Bao Bu was feeling very helpless; he knew that Mo Wuji would definitely choose to go with Red Eyes. If Mo Wuji follows Red Eyes, then it would be difficult for him to capture Mo Wuji, this Tier 9 Pill Emperor. "Many thanks, Brother Red Eyes. I intend to go to the Oblique Space Sea. I have already paid the seafaring fees. When I return from the Oblique Space Sea, I would definitely pay a visit to Brother Red Eyes to show my gratitude," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. Red Eyes Turtle was momentarily stunned. Mo Wuji was still going to the Oblique Space Sea? Was this Mo Wuji trying to court death? However, he had already said those words and it was too late for him to regret. Bao Bu, on the other hand, was filled with mad glee. He was originally intending to invite some of his brothers to cause trouble for Red Eyes Turtle. After all, a Tier 9 Pill Emperor was an impressive existence. At least on this Oblique Space Sea Island, none of the Grand Emperors could afford to disregard one. Mo Wuji did not wait for Red Eyes Turtle to respond as he handed a sealed jade box over to Ape Mo and said, "Brother Ape, I will hand this over to you first. I will come and visit your Shattered Mountain to take my items back." As he finished saying that, Mo Wuji then sent a transmission to Ape Mo, Fox Chunchun and the Golden Iron Crane, "I will wait for you guys at the Oblique Sea. I will contact you guys after I throw off Bao Bu." Fox Chunchun and co. looked at Mo Wuji in shock as he slowly walked towards the exit to the Oblique Sea. They were in a state of disbelief. Mo Wuji clearly knew that Bao Bu would pursue him but he still dared to enter the Oblique Sea alone. His balls were clearly big enough to cover the skies, Indeed, just as Mo Wuji left, Bao Bu clasped his fists towards Red Eyes Turtle and said, "Brother Red Eyes, I was just intending to enjoy the sights around the Oblique Sea. I will bid my farewells for now." Bao Bu didn¡¯t even bother acting as he directly followed behind Mo Wuji into the Oblique Sea. Fox Chunchun and co. weren¡¯t in a rush to leave. They were sure that Red Eyes Turtle would definitely question them about Mo Wuji. At this moment, however, Ape Mo was especially agitated. He didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji would be so generous to actually give him the Elemental Dao Fruit beforehand. This caused his impression of Mo Wuji to soar rapidly. He had also checked the jade box, there wasn¡¯t any spiritual will imprint of any kind. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t understand Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji wanted to make a spiritual will imprint, even Bao Bu wouldn¡¯t be able to notice it, much less him. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji entered the Oblique Sea, his Wind Escape Technique was stimulated to its maximum ability. Instants later, he thoroughly disappeared into the depths of the Oblique Sea like a gentle breeze. Mo Wuji had never considered that he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from Bao Bu¡¯s pursuit. As long as he could enter the Oblique Sea, he wouldn¡¯t need to place Bao Bu on his heart. Once he enters the Oblique Sea, he would be like a Jiaolong. [1] If not for his insufficient abilities, he would have even stopped to install some killing arrays and prepare an ambush for Bao Bu. After experiencing that fist of Bao Bu¡¯s, Mo Wuji was deeply stunned by Bao Bu¡¯s overbearing power. Bao Bu was even stronger than that Gods Race Dao Emperor that he killed previously. Facing such an expert, he could only barely eliminate the other party at the very most, and that would be at the cost of heavy injuries. Additionally, incurring heavy injuries in a place like this was akin to death. Mo Wuji did not wish to pit his life against a Demon Emperor like this. Bao Bu seemed to have followed right behind Mo Wuji. However, the moment he entered the Oblique Sea, he was dumbfounded. Where was Mo Wuji? There didn¡¯t even seem to be any ripples in the space around the area. According to his previous intentions, even if Mo Wuji¡¯s escape art was any stronger, he would be able to trace Mo Wuji through spatial ripples. Only now did he realise that his intentions were simply a huge joke. As Mo Wuji reached the depths of Oblique Sea, he noticed the sloping sea and his heart was filled with incomparable shock. Compared to the description on the jade letter, this sloping sea surface of the Oblique Sea was simply majestic. Back on Earth, the sea surface looked like a curve. This was because the Earth was spherical; so the sea surface would be curved like a sphere as well. The sea surface here, however, was like a flat slope which extended as far as the eye could see. The sea surface was gleaming in the sunlight, leaving one feeling its vastness and boundlessness. Knowing that Bao Bu wouldn¡¯t be able to find him, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t in a rush to leave. Now that he had entered the Oblique Sea, he would have to advance to the Immortal Emperor Stage before he could return to the Oblique Sea Island. After a little more than two hours, Mo Wuji felt Ape Mo¡¯s position. He did not hesitate to speed over. Above this vast and boundless Oblique Sea, Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique allowed him to be like a fish in water. He did not leave a single trace as he sped across the surface of the water. "Should we send Brother Mo a message?" After the three entered the depths of the Oblique Sea, Ape Mo could no longer hold this thought in. Fox Chunchun¡¯s tone was indifferent, "Big Brother Ape, Big Brother Mo is currently being pursued by Bao Bu. It wouldn¡¯t be appropriate for us to send him a message, right?" There was one more sentence that Fox Chunchun didn¡¯t say. That was if Mo Wuji had already fallen into Bao Bu¡¯s hands, sending a message would lead Bao Bu to them. With Bao Bu¡¯s overwhelming strength, the three of them wouldn¡¯t be a match even if they joined hands. "But that ruins requires four people to open." Ape Mo¡¯s character was straightforward. Since he had received Mo Wuji¡¯s Elemental Dao Fruit Transformation Dao Fruit, he felt that they should wait for Mo Wuji. Fox Chunchun was just about to say something when their communication beads suddenly lit up simultaneously. "Brother Mo is sending us a message. He¡¯s asking us where we are." Golden Iron Crane uttered in astonishment. He thought that since Mo Wuji was being pursued by Bao Bu, it was likely that Mo Wuji had already perished. He didn¡¯t expect that Mo Wuji would send a message after such a short time. "That fella Bao Bu is vicious and devious. Could he have caught Brother Mo, then¡­" Fox Chunchun didn¡¯t manage to finish her sentence when Mo Wuji¡¯s voice sounded from behind them, "Fortunately you guys haven¡¯t gone far. I was able to catch up." "Brother Mo, how did you know that we were here?" Golden Iron Crane¡¯s voice was filled with shock. The Oblique Sea was vast and boundless. To find them in such a short amount of time was definitely not an easy act. Mo Wuji was already approaching them. He smiled and said, "I can only say that I¡¯m lucky. I simply sent a message to the three of you, and I felt a spatial ripple in this direction. I decided to come over to take a look, and it was indeed the three of you." Fox Chunchun chuckled, seemingly believing that it was truly based on luck. She was carefree as she said, "Big Brother Mo, you¡¯ve truly come at the right time. You came just when we were thinking of how we could find you. Now that the four of us have gathered, we can finally begin. This time, I will continue leading the way. The three big brothers only need to follow behind me." As they were speaking, Fox Chunchun already activated her flying treasure. Mo Wuji also retrieved his flying treasure and followed behind Fox Chunchun. "Brother Mo¡­" Ape Mo controlled his flying treasure to move next to Mo Wuji. He seemed to want to say something. Mo Wuji smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Ape, we hit it off right from the start. Next time I visit your Shattered Mountain, let me take a look at your immortal herbs." "Brother Mo is really a Tier 9 Pill Emperor?" Ape Mo asked in alarm. He thought that Mo Wuji was merely boasting previously to get out of the situation. "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m indeed a Tier 9 Pill Emperor." Mo Wuji did not act humble. Ape Mo and co. were vastly weaker than Bao Bu. He was completely able to deal with them; so there was no need to continue behaving modestly. [1] The Jiaolong is a legendary dragon that has the power to control the rain and floods. Chapter 798: Three Treasures Buddhist Emperors Ruins Chapter 798: Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor''s Ruins Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ape Mo didn''t ask any further. Instead, he threw a storage ring towards Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, these are some immortal herbs that I found. I will give some to you to compensate for that fruit you gave me. If you have leftover pills, you can give me one or two vases." Ape Mo was straightforward, but he was not a fool. In fact, he was very experienced. During this period of interaction with Mo Wuji, he knew that Mo Wuji didn''t have the same character as Fox Chunchun. When dealing with a person like Mo Wuji, one cannot play mind games. Instead, one must reciprocate sincerity with sincerity. Mo Wuji had given him a Transformation Dao Fruit. If he acted ignorantly and didn''t reciprocate, he was sure that he would be the next Beaver Chu. If he displayed his sincerity in front of a person like Mo Wuji, he was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn''t disadvantage him. Among the three partners, Mo Wuji appreciated Ape Mo the most. He wasn''t scheming like Fox Chunchun, nor overly wary like the Golden Iron Crane. Not only that, Ape Mo knew how to act according to the circumstances. As expected, he didn''t even mention the matter of the Transformation Dao Fruit, but Ape Mo had taken the initiative to give him a storage ring. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will penetrated into Ape Mo''s storage ring and he was greeted by large amounts of high-grade immortal herbs, enough to form a mountain. Moreover, the lowest ones were already at Tier 8. Previously, he framed Bao Bu for stealing five Emperor Dao Fruits from Beaver Chu. Now, he actually found Emperor Dao Fruits within Ape Mo''s ring, albeit only two of them. One must know that a single Emperor Dao Fruit was enough to cause huge waves within the Immortal World. But now, Ape Mo had given him two of them at one go. Even other rare herbs like the Undying Holy Bamboo and the True Emperor Seeking Heart Flower could be found within Ape Mo¡¯s ring. To the Demon Race, the Transformation Dao Fruit was a peerless treasure. However, to Mo Wuji, it really wasn''t worth much. Even though Mo Wuji had already given the Transformation Dao Fruit to Ape Mo, Ape Mo still reciprocated with so much good stuff. [1] Clearly, Ape Mo truly wanted to befriend him. It also shows that Ape Mo wasn''t a person of a black heart, but a person worth befriending. Mo Wuji kept the storage ring, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Ape, a friend like you is worth befriending. When I''m done concocting pills, I will definitely invite Brother Ape over to receive some pills." His Undying World had not been perfected, and that water pool of Beaver Chu could not be moved. Since he had befriended Ape Mo, he could also invite Ape Mo over to his territory and help Ape Mo temper his physique. "Many thanks, Brother Mo. It''s my, Ape Mo''s, honour to be able to obtain Brother Mo''s invitation." When he heard Mo Wuji''s words, Ape Mo was filled with elation. He didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji was feigning courtesy. He hadn¡¯t actually gone to that water pool of Beaver Chu¡¯s before. Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane noticed that Mo Wuji and Ape Mo seemed to have undergone a trade. However, this matter wasn''t related to them; it was enough if everyone would work together to open the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor''s ruins when the time comes. As the group continued on their journey, Mo Wuji could not help but sigh at the vastness of the Oblique Space Sea. They had already been travelling for more than ten days, and according to Ape Mo, they were still far from the borders of the Oblique Space Sea. Another five days passed before Fox Chunchun stopped. She turned towards the rest and said, "We are here. Everyone, keep your flying treasures, then follow me down." Mo Wuji looked at Fox Chunchun in doubt. He really didn''t know how Fox Chunchun was able to find this location. This was just an ordinary spot in the Oblique Sea; there was no sort of irregularities whatsoever. Fox Chunchun''s next action quickly resolved Mo Wuji''s doubts: she took out a jade compass. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on this jade compass and he saw that it was indeed pointing towards this spot. Hu Chunchun didn''t waste any words as she directly activated the jade compass. The rims of the jade compass began to emit nirvanic light. The seawater around them began to disperse as an array gate appeared in front of them. Fox Chunchun didn''t hesitate as she stepped into the array gate. Mo Wuji and co. didn''t fall behind and they followed right behind her. As Mo Wuji entered the array gate, he felt emptiness below him. But before he could examine his surroundings, his two feet landed on hard ground. The array gate behind him had changed into rows of screens. These screens seemed to be made entirely out of water. In front of them was a path paved from golden bricks. This path was 3 meters wide and it extended into the distance. Mo Wuji sighed in emotion; there was no need to talk about anything else, just the sheer amount of golden bricks required was already astounding. Fox Chunchun pointed towards the water screens behind them and said, "This is the way out. If you step through these screens, you will arrive back at the surface of the Oblique Sea. No one can enter this place without my jade compass. Of course, I¡¯m not trying to show off my accomplishments. Since I, Fox Chunchun, invited you three bigger brothers, then we would all contribute equally. It¡¯s just that before we begin, I feel that there¡¯s something that we need to clarify." "Junior Sister Chunchun, please speak." Golden Iron Crane was the first to clasp his fist and reply. His tone was slightly emotional. It was probably due to the thought that this was the ruins of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. Perhaps because of this fortune, he might become an existence no weaker than the Eight Great Grand Emperors. "This is indeed the ruins of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. However, even I don¡¯t know what the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor had left behind within these ruins. Thus, before we begin exploring the ruins, we need to discuss how we are going to split the treasures that we find," Fox Chunchun continued. Ape Mo nodded his head, "Junior Sister Chunchun is right. Such matters need to be discussed beforehand. That way, we can prevent any hurt and animosity." Fox Chunchun turned to Mo Wuji, "Big Brother Mo, what do you think?" Mo Wuji smiled and said, "I also agree that we should discuss this. How about this, after we open the ruins, anything that can be shared will be split equally. Anything else would depend on our individual fates. Of course, Junior Sister Chunchun was the one who led the way; so she could have a slightly higher share when we split." "I agree with Brother Mo¡¯s words." Ape Mo was the first one to respond. "I also agree," Golden Iron Crane hurriedly said. Fox Chunchun bowed towards the three of them, "Then I will have to thank the three big brothers. Now, let¡¯s follow along with this golden path to its end." In reality, Fox Chunchun knew that if she didn¡¯t bring Mo Wuji and co. here, she would never be able to open the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor¡¯s ruins. This wasn¡¯t the first time that she came here. The golden path was thousands of meters long. Mo Wuji led the way, with his spiritual will cautiously scanning the surroundings. He soon discovered that the entire path was surrounded by various kinds of killing arrays. However, the energy source of these arrays should have been removed or depleted, causing the arrays to be in a state of paralysis. If not for that, things wouldn¡¯t have been so easy for them. The group didn¡¯t walk especially fast, but they only needed half an incense¡¯s time to reach the end. When they saw what was in front of them, they finally realised why Fox Chunchun required help. This was a Four Element One Door Array. The Four Element One Door Array was an activation method. It was a commonly seen activation method; so even novices of the Array Dao knew about it. This activation method required four people to simultaneously inject elemental energy of different elements to the four array bases. Only by doing this, would a door appear. Even if Fox Chunchun came a hundred times, she would never be able to open this door by herself. Mo Wuji¡¯s standards of the Array Dao was infinitesimally close to Grade 9. The moment he scanned the area with his spiritual will, he knew that this entire area was a killing array. This Four Element One Door Array was the array heart of this killing array. The moment this array heart was ignited by four people, the killing array would be activated. As for the reason why there was a killing array, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too sure. However, he knew two points: 1. The Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor wasn¡¯t a kind man; 2. After igniting the array heart, the door would definitely open. However, all these observations about the killing array weren¡¯t important. This was because the immortal vein powering the array was severely depleted. If the four of them stimulated the Four Element One Door Array, they would only activate the door, and not the killing array. "I¡¯m sure everyone knows that this array is; it¡¯s the Four Element One Door. Now, the four of us will each go to an array base and simultaneously ignite this array heart." After saying this, Fox Chunchun was the first to walk towards an array base by the side. Mo Wuji and the rest also didn¡¯t waste any time as they reached walked to an array base. The four of them simultaneously released injected their immortal elemental energy. A faint golden light shone from the array heart. This golden light soon transformed into a solid key. After this key formed fully, a faint door appeared in front of the four of them. The huge door soon became tangible. With a "Jiya" sound, the door started to open slowly. "We¡¯ve succeeded. Everyone, let¡¯s go in." Fox Chunchun was the first to charge into the door. Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique was faster. While Fox Chunchun was the first to enter, he easily overtook her. Immediately, he grabbed an inconspicuous grey stone. At the same time, Mo Wuji saw Hu Chunchun pick up a lotus flower. Mo Wuji suspected that this was one the three treasures of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor - the One Buddha Lotus Seat. Golden Iron Crane kept a golden coloured wooden fish, while Ape Mo grabbed a Buddhist staff. Besides these items, there was also a stack of extreme grade immortal veins. There were at least 50 to 60 of them. None of the four touched these extreme-grade immortal veins. This was because everyone had discussed it before; those that can be split will be split. There was no use to snatching for them. Hu Chunchun coughed and said, "It seems like everyone¡¯s fortunes are far from ordinary. Now, how will we split these immortal veins?" "Junior Sister Chunchun, you should have obtained the One Buddha Lotus Seat, right? Even though I also obtained a wooden fish, it is only a simple magic treasure. Compared to Junior Sister Chunchun, mine is far too inferior," Golden Iron Crane said intentionally. Hu Chunchun chuckled, "How can there be the One Buddha Lotus Seat here? If it was here, Brother Mo would have definitely picked it since he was the first to arrive." Mo Wuji understood what Golden Iron Crane was saying. That was when they were splitting the immortal veins, it would be done equally; they should not allow Fox Chunchun to continue to take advantage of them. Mo Wuji took the initiative to say, "There are 61 immortal veins here. We will each take 15. Since Chunchun led the way, she will take 16." "I agree." Ape Mo was the first to speak. "I agree as well." Fox Chunchun hurriedly said. Even though she didn¡¯t understand why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want the lotus flower, she knew that the item that Mo Wuji took was not simple. Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t notice it. Even so, she believed that the lotus flower that she obtained was the best treasure here. Golden Iron Crane naturally couldn¡¯t disagree. The 61 extreme grade immortal veins disappeared in an instant. This was when the four noticed that there was a 30 centimetre long golden brick behind the immortal veins. In the centre of this golden brick, there was a finger-thick hole. [1] Sometimes, the selfish acts that the author feels a person would do stumps me. I have to think about it many times to understand the logic. Here, I guess that the logic is that since the item was already in Ape Mo''s hands, there was no need for Ape Mo to do anything, or at the very least, there was no need for him to give Mo Wuji so much stuff. Moreover, this was under the circumstances that Mo Wuji didn''t mention anything. Chapter 799: Seven World Finger Chapter 799: Seven World Finger Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "There¡¯s definitely something good behind that." Golden Iron Crane¡¯s eyes sparkled; his voice was slightly emotional. This was something that was previously blocked by 61 extreme grade immortal veins; it would be weird if it was something simple. As he was speaking, Golden Iron Crane already grabbed towards that square brick. It was just that even with Golden Iron Crane¡¯s pinnacle Grade 9 immortal demon power, it was not enough to cause that brick to budge even a single inch. "Everyone, let¡¯s attack together." Ape Mo said as he retrieved his Wolf Fang Mace. Fox Chunchun also retrieved a sheathless red sword while Golden Iron Crane brought out a broadsword. Since the three of them prepared to attack, Mo Wuji naturally retrieved his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Mo Wuji had also scanned this golden brick with his spiritual will. This brick did not seem to be held in place by an array; it could only be removed forcibly. Four different magic treasure light struck heavily on the surface. Immortal elemental energy violently reverberated through the air, and even the space around them seemed to tremble. However, that square brick did not move a single inch; there wasn¡¯t even a single scratch on it. "I¡¯m afraid that even if we continue striking for years, we still wouldn¡¯t be able to break through this," Ape Mo said gloomily. Just now, the four of them had attacked with their full power. However, the square brick didn¡¯t even move. Ostensibly, it wouldn¡¯t matter even if they struck it multiple times. When the four of them attacked that square brick, Mo Wuji felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. Previously when they first entered, the reason why he chose that grey stone was because that stone contained an energy similar to the Breath of Hongmeng. Not only that, that stone was also similar to his Undying World, it exuded the feeling of the creation of a Heaven and Earth. If not for that, why would he still pick the stone despite knowing that the lotus flower was likely to be the One Buddha Lotus Seat? After attacking that square brick, he felt that energy of creation again. He even faintly felt an energy of destruction; a might capable of extinguishing the Heaven and Earth. "I feel that this place is rather stranger. Just now when we attacked, there seemed to be an energy of destruction that was strong enough to destroy the Heaven and Earth," Fox Chunchun said as she looked at that square brick fearfully. She was worried that the power would suddenly erupt, and none of them would be able to escape alive. Golden Iron Crane wielded his broadsword once more and said, "We have to fight for our fate. It¡¯s true that there was an energy of destruction, but who¡¯s to say that it isn¡¯t due to a treasure? Everyone, let¡¯s continue attacking." "Boom!" Even before the rest could say anything, his broadsword slammed against that square brick. Compared to when the four attacked together, this slash of Golden Iron Crane wasn¡¯t able to even cause a ripple. "Alright, let¡¯s continue attacking." Fox Chunchun nodded. Mo Wuji felt that this place could not be forcefully opened. However, he didn¡¯t have any better idea. Since Fox Chunchun and Golden Iron Crane chose to attack, he could only follow suit with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. A day passed in a flash. It was unknown exactly how many times the four of them attacked. However, the brick remained exactly the same; it did not move a single bit. "I decided that I don¡¯t want this magic treasure. Farewell." Ape Mo stopped attacking. He clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and co. and said. Thereafter, he turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, thank you. If you have time, feel free to visit my Shattered Mountain." Mo Wuji knew why Ape Mo was so anxious to leave. He had already obtained the Transformation Dao Fruit. If nothing goes wrong, Ape Mo would definitely make a huge improvement after a period of seclusion. Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of the power levels here in Oblique Space Sea Island. The Eight Great Grand Emperors should be Grade 10 immortal demonic beasts. On the other hand, Ape Mo was only at the pinnacle of Grade 9. "Sure. I will definitely visit Shattered Mountain if I am free." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. With a single step, Ape Mo walked out of this hall. Soon, he had completely disappeared. "Eh, I¡¯m leaving too. I am not fated with this treasure," Golden Iron Crane sighed and said. The combined efforts of four of them weren¡¯t able to do anything. Now that Ape Mo had left, the three of them were even less capable of achieving any results. He was also anxious to refine that wooden fish. He could feel that the wooden fish was a spatial treasure; he even suspected that there might be treasures within the wooden fish. Now that Ape Mo and Golden Iron Crane had left, Fox Chunchun didn¡¯t dare to be alone with Mo Wuji. She had personally seen Mo Wuji¡¯s power before; he was an existence that could defend himself against Bao Bu. She, on the other hand, could only die if Bao Bu were to confront her. "Big Brother Mo, I¡¯m also leaving. Are you leaving too?" Hu Chunchun clasped her fists towards Mo Wuji and said. Even before Mo Wuji could reply, she had already turned and started to leave. This time, her rewards were the greatest. It was likely that her treasure was the One Buddha Lotus Seat. "Junior Sister Fox, wait¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly called out. When Fox Chunchun heard Mo Wuji call her, she retreated warily. She clasped her fists cautiously, "Big Brother Mo, do you have any further instructions?" Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "I don¡¯t dare to instruct you. It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t manage to obtain any good treasures here; so I want to research on that jade compass of yours. Could you sell me that jade compass? Anyway, there¡¯s nothing left of this ruins." When Fox Chunchun heard those words, she heaved a sigh of relief, "That jade compass is already useless. I can gift it to Big Brother Mo. This little sister will take her leave now." Fox Chunchun threw her jade compass to Mo Wuji. Then, she turned and vanished. She knew why Mo Wuji wanted her jade compass. Mo Wuji was going to stay here to research on the square brick. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t allow her to take the jade compass away. What if she passed that jade compass to Bao Bu? When he received the jade compass, Mo Wuji also sighed in relief. He was indeed worried that Fox Chunchun would hand the jade compass to Bao Bu. If Bao Bu came over as he was studying the square brick, he could only wait and die. More importantly, he didn¡¯t dare to leave. His cultivation was only at the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage. Before he stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage, he could only die if he returned to Oblique Sea Island. Mo Wuji kept the jade compass. He didn¡¯t continue attacking the brick; he was sure that attacking the brick wasn¡¯t the solution. Instead, he placed his hand on the brick and tried to forcefully refine it. Time passed. The area that Mo Wuji and co. entered the ruins from had long regained its calm. Even Bao Bu could only return back to Oblique Sea Island helplessly after wasting an entire month running around the Oblique Sea. By this time, Mo Wuji had tried refining the brick for ten over days. Similarly, he could not help but give up on his idea to continue refining. After studying this brick for a month, he could faintly feel that the hole in the centre of the brick was the key to activating it. Unfortunately, his immortal elemental energy and his sacred art were all unable to do anything to this hole. When Mo Wuji thought of giving up, he suddenly recalled the Seven Buddha Scripture. Since his immortal elemental energy and sacred art didn¡¯t work, would immortal elemental energy of the Buddhist Dao work? After all, this was the ruins of the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. Others might not be able to cultivate the immortal elemental energy of the Buddhist Dao, but he could. This was because he had the Seven Buddha Scripture. This was one of the three treasures of the Buddhist school of thought, and it was even one of the treasures left behind by the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor. Anyway, he didn¡¯t dare to return before he improved his powers. He decided to take a look at the Seven Buddha Scripture. The initial pages of the Seven Buddha Scripture was actually a sacred art, "Seven Buddha Sacred Art: All Dharmas are empty. In Emptiness, there is no form, feelings, thought, will consciousness¡­" [1] The more he read, the more shocked Mo Wuji felt. The Seven Buddha Scripture wasn¡¯t an inscrutable sacred art. Instead, it was far too awesome. He understood the meaning behind the first sentence: once one successfully cultivates the Seven Buddha Sacred Art, all laws are illusory and all space is imaginary. In front of this sacred art, everything, including spiritual will, divine sense, attacks, etc, were simply too inferior. This was a great sacred art which disregards the Laws of Space. If he knew that the Seven Buddha Scripture was such a sacred art, he would have read it a long time ago. However, as Mo Wuji continued flipping through the pages, his face turned ugly. Besides the front which contained the description of this sacred art, the rest of the scripture was filled with the circulation techniques for the cultivation of spirit channels. He really looked down on such a cultivation technique. In fact, with his Immortal Mortal Technique, other cultivation techniques really couldn''t catch his eye. If not for the sacred art at the front, perhaps he would have to try cultivating the Seven Buddha Scripture to obtain the Buddhist Dao elemental energy. But now that there was this sacred art, Mo Wuji completely dismissed the rest of the Seven Buddha Scripture. Mo Wuji turned back to the Seven Buddha Sacred Art; this was a sacred art that could ignore the Laws of Space. At the beginning, Mo Wuji decided to set this sacred art as a punch. However, as he gradually modified it, he discovered that it was far more terrifying if a finger was condensed from this sacred art. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Ever since Mo Wuji started cultivating this sacred art from the Seven Buddha Scripture, the hall was constantly reverberating with loud rumbles. Time passed gradually. Mo Wuji was totally absorbed in the modification of this finger. He had a premonition that if he successfully condensed this finger, it would not be weaker than his Wheel of Life and Death. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji always felt as though that this finger was lacking something. "Boom!" Mo Wuji pointed his finger towards a square stage, reducing it to rubble. However, he still seemed disappointed as he lowered his hand despondently. At this time, he finally understood why Monk Da Ning was so magnanimous to give the Seven Buddha Scripture to him. Even though this Seven Buddha Scripture wasn''t fake, it wasn''t enough to cultivate an impressive attack. Even though it had been several months since he started cultivating this finger, he still felt that he was lacking a spark. Compared to continuing to waste this time here, it might be better if he used those immortal veins and charge to the Immortal Emperor Stage. Mo Wuji turned back to look at that square brick which he had left untouched for half a year. In his unwillingness to give up, he stabbed this finger towards the brick. After months of cultivation, this finger might not be some grand sacred art, but it was still a powerful attack. This finger coincidentally landed in that hole in the centre of the brick. "Boom!" "Kacha!" An enigmatic energy seemed to connect with Mo Wuji''s finger. Before Mo Wuji could react, that square brick, that they were all helpless against, had actually shattered. A book, which was exuding faint golden light, lay silently behind that brick. Mo Wuji started briefly before wild elation kicked in. At this time, how could he not know that the Seven Buddha Scripture was the key to opening this square brick? Mo Wuji did not even think twice as he grabbed that book in his hands. In his heart, he guessed that this should be the complete version of the Seven Buddha Scripture. This book gave a peculiar sensation to his hand; Mo Wuji was unable to tell whether this book was heavy or light. However, the words at the front of the book allowed Mo Wuji to understand that this was not the Seven Buddha Scripture. Even though the "Seven" word was still there, the other two words were different. Mo Wuji knew how to read the words: Seven World Finger. [1] These are exact words from the Heart Sutra. It has been difficult to translate. Chapter 800: World Of Man Chapter 800: World Of Man Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When he flipped to the first page, he was greeted by six majestic, golden words: One Finger To Break Seven Worlds! Even though Mo Wuji hadn''t seen the contents at the back yet, he felt his scalp turning numb. One finger to break seven worlds? There was such a sacred art in Cosmos Edge? He believed that his Wheel of Life and Death and his Spiritual Will Arrow were considered impressive sacred arts, but in front of this one finger, they really did not seem like much. As he continued flipping, he was greeted by golden words. He could feel the energy of Creation flowing out the pages. "It all began from primordial chaos. The cosmos split, forming millions of dao insights and millions of worlds¡­ In this Dao, All Dharmas are empty. In Emptiness, there is no form, feelings, thought, will consciousness¡­" From this, Mo Wuji finally understood where the Seven Buddha Scripture came from. So it turns out the Seven Buddha Scripture was a complete plagiarisation of a portion of this Seven World Finger. An extract actually became one of the three supreme treasures of the Buddhist School of Thought. Mo Wuji was sure that the Seven World Finger was not a sacred art of the Buddhist Dao. The Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor was actually able to extract the Seven Buddha Scripture from the Seven World Finger, even though it was a plagiarisation, demonstrated that this fella was definitely a genius. When he thought that even the Seven Buddha Scripture was merely an extract of this Seven World Finger, Mo Wuji¡¯s interest in this sacred art soared greatly. Mo Wuji took out two extreme grade immortal veins. Thereafter, he completely immersed himself into the study of this Seven World Finger. At this instant, not only was his brain furiously trying to decipher this Seven World Finger, his dao revelation channel was also involved in the deduction and the integration of the cultivation of Seven World Finger with his 108 meridians. Time flowed slowly; the extreme grade immortal veins under Mo Wuji gradually shrunk; Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation also became more stable. Even though he was at God Physique Level 7, such long periods spent in study had caused his body to go thin. Loud rumbles resounded throughout the hall. However, compared to when Mo Wuji was cultivating the Seven Buddha Sacred Art, the current rumbles were more majestic. "Ka!" The loud sound of an explosion jolted Mo Wuji up from his study. He looked at the huge golden gate he just destroyed, but his heart remained indifferent. He guessed that it had at least been two to three years since he started delving into the Seven World Finger. Even though the time he spent on the Seven World Finger was much more than he had with the Seven Buddha Sacred Art, Mo Wuji was clear that what he knew was not even a drop in the ocean. His Seven World Finger seemed to be lacking something; it seemed to be lacking the boundless and majestic energy of Creation¡­ The majesty of Creation¡­ Mo Wuji suddenly thought about that grey stone that he obtained from here. The reason why he chose that grey stone was because the stone contained a sort of primordial energy of Creation. Could it be that the stone is the key to cultivating the Seven World Finger? If that¡¯s the case, then the Three Emperor Buddhist Emperor was a good guy after all? To leave the stone behind for him to use? Regardless of whether this was the case, Mo Wuji decided to retrieve the stone. He had been here for close to four years, but he actually hadn¡¯t taken a proper look at the stone. The stone looked very ordinary. The moment Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to try and communicate with this stone, he instantly felt a majestic primordial energy. At this instant, his understandings towards the Seven World Finger became clearer by a bit. However, it still felt like a body without a spirit. It was lacking a sort of cosmos-tearing aura. [1] Mo Wuji continuously tried to resonate with the energy within the grey stone, working hard to use that energy to allow him to gain insights on the Seven World Finger. "Boom!" An intense tremor exploded within his sea of consciousness. Immediately, he felt that this grey stone had fused with his Undying World. Finally, he had a faint understanding why the Three Treasures Buddhist Emperor wasn¡¯t able to cultivate the Seven World Finger; it was because he didn¡¯t have a world of his own. The boundless and majestic dao energy fused together; Mo Wuji could even feel the process of the creation of the Heaven and Earth from the primordial universe. At this instant, his Undying World became more tangible. Even though his Undying World had yet to gather all five elements, it now had a power of origination. That grey stone shrunk rapidly until it finally disappeared. A clear enlightenment surged into Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. Mo Wuji suddenly stood up, and stabbed forward with his finger. At this instant, space disappeared. In fact, at this instant, everything disappeared. With this finger, everything within this space dissipated like clouds; everything seemed to have been extinguished and exterminated. "Boom!" The hall that Mo Wuji was in exploded; all the seals and arrays were turned to dust. The outside seawater, however, was unable to enter into this space. This entire space had been destroyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s finger. However, even if it was any more power, this finger would still dissipate. After some time, space returned, and the seawater came flowing in. Mo Wuji closed his eyes and he remained within the water. There was a clear insight still lingering within his dao revelation channel. Even though he was extremely weak at this moment, he wasn¡¯t willing to move. He would rather suffer the pressure of the seawater than to miss this enlightenment. The Seven World Finger was truly able the to break seven worlds. The reason why he was only able to destroy this ruins was because he was still unable to fully display the finger¡¯s true might. The Immortal Mortal Technique went into reverse circulation. In an instant, 108 minor circulations joined to form a major circulation. The major circulation concentrated around his dao revelation channel, continuously supplying energy to it. Mo Wuji¡¯s personal insights towards the Seven World Finger became increasingly clear. Currently, he was unable to break seven worlds with a single finger. However, this finger of his was gradually becoming a sacred art which could release seven forces capable of killing worlds. If his one finger could consecutively release seven World Killers, wait¡­ there¡¯s no need for seven, as long as he could consecutively three World Killers, he was confident that he could eliminate Bao Bu with his current cultivation. After Mo Wuji gained enlightenment on his own World Killers, another insight appeared in his mind. A concept of his Seven World Killers derived from the Seven World Finger appeared. Not only that, he came up with a name for his First World Killer - World of Man [2]. Just as Mo Wuji thought of the name ¡®World of Man¡¯, the second to seventh names of his Seven World Killers appeared in his mind. Second World Killer: Heaven and Earth; Third World Killer: Fortune; Fourth World Killer: Yin Yang; Fifth World Killer: All Creation; Sixth World Killer: Falsehood; Seventh World Killer: Returning Mortality. Mo Wuji inhaled deeply. Through the development of his Immortal Mortal Technique, the Seven World Finger actually became his own unique skill. The moment he thought of his Seventh World Killer, he knew that it was related to his Immortal Mortal Technique. Mo Wuji¡¯s dao insights belonged to him. Even though he had borrowed the help of the Immortal Mortal Technique, he was still able to rapidly gain understanding on his Seven World Killers. The Heaven and Earth is the furnace, Fortune is the labour, Yin Yang is the charcoal, All Creation is copper¡­ In this world, was there a difference between Man and the copper burning within a furnace? It didn¡¯t matter whether a thing is living, or just another one of the All Creations within the Heaven and Earth, that thing is either an ant that was going to be burned in a furnace or a material to burn that ant for the Heaven and Earth. Only through breaking the falsehood of this dao will, can one break the seven worlds and obtain a new life for oneself. That was the true meaning of being a mortal; it¡¯s not about being an ant with the constant threat of being burned or crushed. "Boom!" The immortal elemental energy around Mo Wuji surged strongly. His dao will moved with greater fervour, breaking out of his sea of consciousness as it started to revolve undyingly around his body. Mo Wuji took a step forward. The sea in front of him automatically split into two. He seemed to instantly appear at the surface of the Oblique Sea. The pressure of the Heaven and Earth came looming; his energy got stronger and stronger. Mo Wuji was very clear that the Immortal Emperor Stage, which had always been so elusive, was appearing right in front of him. At this instant, he didn¡¯t use any immortal pill. Even though he had the Emperor Dao Fruit, he also didn¡¯t consume it. He was sensing a Dao which belonged to him; he was sensing a road that was only for him to tread on. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Ten thick bolts of lightning came crashing. Not only didn¡¯t Mo Wuji take out any magic treasure, he flew towards the lightning and punched. The Heaven and Earth was a huge furnace. To get out of this furnace, he needed to find a world which belonged to him. "Crack! Crack!" The tearing sounds of bones cracking could be heard. Even though it was only the first wave of lightning, it had already caused injuries all over Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Mo Wuji¡¯s Level 7 God Physique was like a paper tiger in front of this terrifying Lightning Calamity. However, Mo Wuji was unafraid; he didn¡¯t even take any pills. His vitality channel went into furious motion and he charged back up to the surface of the sea. The injuries on his body only served to bolster his willpower and his fighting spirit. Boom! Boom! Boom! The lightning bolts got increasingly savage. Mists of blood exploded out the exterior of Mo Wuji¡¯s body. However, the expression in his eyes didn¡¯t change; he still continued to charge up and release his punches. He had enough of being pressured and oppressed. He needed his own voice to speak. His punches struck against the lightning bolts; the bones in his hands continued to shatter. Boundless amounts of immortal spiritual energy were being swept towards Mo Wuji. The moment the third wave of lightning descended, Mo Wuji¡¯s aura had already soared to the max. "Ka!" The sound of a Grand Dao of the Heaven and Earth breaking could be heard. An aura that was more than ten times more majestic than before burst out of Mo Wuji¡¯s body. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The third wave of lightning bolts descended down on Mo Wuji. However, the expression in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes became increasingly calm. He knew that he had stepped into the ranks of the Immortal Emperor Stage; he was now a true Immortal Emperor. The instant he stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage, he gained enlightenment on things he didn¡¯t understand before. At this instant, the lightning sword and lightning web skills that he learnt in the Cultivation World had become his sacred art. Ever since he entered the Immortal World, Mo Wuji rarely used his lightning-type skills. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t like them, but because they were not strong enough. But now, as he advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage, his skill had become his sacred art. From now on, not only did he have his Four Halberd Strikes, Domain Crushing Fist, Wheel of Life and Death, Spatial Imprisonment, and Spiritual Will Arrow, he also had the Seven World Finger and the lightning-type sacred art. Boundless lightning continued to descend down on him. By now, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother retaliating. He allowed these violent lightning bolts to land on him as he retrieved an immortal vein and sat down. Lightning continued to crash. Mo Wuji¡¯s majestic aura gradually began to shrink in. Once again, he had returned back to his appearance as an ordinary mortal. Perhaps, he could be the only person that could tell others that he was a mortal, but he wasn¡¯t a mortal that could be simply trampled on. Mo Wuji kept the immortal vein. He uttered a long shout. Thereafter, he retrieved his flying treasure. He was going back to Oblique Space Sea Island. It was time to receive his compensation. [1] The creation of Heaven and Earth is the myth of Pangu. Hopefully, this short extract of the myth will make the motifs clearer. In the beginning, there was only primordial chaos in the world. Pangu was born from within a black egg. With his might, he cleaved this black egg in two; the top half forming the Heaven, and the bottom half forming the Earth. This is not the full myth, but it should explain about the tearing force required in the creation of a Heaven and Earth. [2] Not trying to be sexist. The author is referring to the world of people, and I can¡¯t say Human¡¯s World as there are those from the other races as well. Thus, I used Man with the capital ¡®M¡¯. Chapter 801: Oblique Space Sea Island Chapter 801: Oblique Space Sea Island Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After only three to four days, Mo Wuji landed on the pier at the territory of the Red Eyes Turtle. "Are you that Mo Wuji¡­ Tier 9 Pill Emperor?" Someone exclaimed the instance Mo Wuji entered the pier. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind because he knew that the Red Eyes Turtle would definitely get people to take note of him. It was all within his expectations that someone would obstruct him when he appeared. It would be odd if no one came forward to stop him. He was certain that if he wanted to leave now, these people would obstruct him until the Red Eyes Turtle arrived. "That¡¯s right, I am Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji continued walking as he spoke. Even though he had a slightly more favourable impression of the Red Eyes Turtle, he would still turn against the Red Eyes Turtle if he dared to obstruct him forcefully. The fella obstructing him was a red haired man and Mo Wuji guessed that he was a transformed demonic beast. While he was speaking, Mo Wuji had already noticed the flying messenger sword sent out by that fella. The best flying messenger sword coupled with spatial transferring technique, this method was much faster than using a communication bead. "Pill Emperor Mo, the Great Grand Emperor had always spoken highly about you. The Great Grand Emperor repeatedly reminded us to invite Pill Emperor Mo to his residence as an esteemed guest," The red haired man said anxiously as he should have realised that he wasn¡¯t a match for Mo Wuji. "Forget it, I don¡¯t have time so goodbye," Just as Mo Wuji was prepared to leave, a flying sword flew over. The red haired man grabbed the flying sword and said instantly, "The Great Grand Emperor is currently attending the Oblique Space Sea Island Conference with the seven other Great Grand Emperors as well as experts from all across the island. The Great Grand Emperor invited Pill Emperor Mo to attend it as well. Additionally, the Great Grand Emperor said that it¡¯s okay if Pill Emperor Mo didn¡¯t wish to attend and he would even come over to hold a welcoming dinner for Pill Emperor Mo." Mo Wuji stopped and asked, "What conference is this about that so many experts are attending?" The red haired man hurried to reply, "It is time for the Oblique Space Sea Island to open its defensive array and because we¡¯re going out to trade, the conference is to allocate the names who are eligible to go out." Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "We still have to go through allocation to leave the island? Doesn¡¯t anyone who wants to leave gets to leave?" This time, it was the red haired man who was doubtful because he believed that such clear matter should be obvious to Mo Wuji. Fortunately, he reminded himself that Mo Wuji was a person held in high regard by the Great Grand Emperor so he hurried to answer, "The Oblique Space Sea Island¡¯s defensive array is a natural array and it will open once after a period of time. My Oblique Space Sea Island has abundant of resources as well as dense immortal energy but we lacked many things as well. Therefore, when the array is open, experts of the Oblique Space Sea Island would be able to leave the island to trade for other items." "Why was there a need for the limitations of names?" "Because the defensive array is a Area of Spatial Irregularities and after the array is open, one would need the Tier 9 Black Spatial Fruit to leave and the production of this Black Spatial Fruit is limited¡­" When Mo Wuji finally understood, he was secretly shocked. The Black Spatial Fruit was indeed one of the most valuable peak tier immortal fruit in the immortal world because it contained energy from the Laws of Space and one could use it to enlighten Laws of Space¡¯s sacred arts. Once someone ate the Black Spatial Fruit, one would indeed be able to sense the changes in space in a very short period of time. In this way, one would be able to breeze through the Area of Spatial Irregularities without any danger. However, Mo Wuji still couldn¡¯t believe this group of people from the Oblique Space Sea Island actually used the Black Spatial Fruit just to cross the Area of Spatial Irregularities. It was simply a waste of the item. "Alright, I will go over. Hand me the location of the conference," Mo Wuji said without any hesitation. "Ah¡­" The red haired man didn¡¯t respond promptly because he was still thinking of ways to hold Mo Wuji back once Mo Wuji rejected him. He certainly didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to accept the invitation so readily. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t in a daze for a long time as he hurried to pass Mo Wuji a jade letter containing the map, "Pill Master Mo, this map contained the route towards Oblique Space Sea City and that is where the conference was held." Mo Wuji took over the jade letter before saying casually, "Many thanks, goodbye." Once he said that, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed and had left this plaza. This red haired cultivator was still in a slight daze and even though he was a Class 8 immortal beast, he was sure that he wouldn¡¯t survive a slap from Mo Wuji. Luckily for him, this Pill Master Mo agreed to visit the Oblique Space Sea City and didn¡¯t cause any inconvenience for him. Mo Wuji had already guessed the existence of a big immortal city in this place and just like his prediction, that Oblique Space Sea City should be one of the bigger gathering ground on this island. He was about to leave the Oblique Space Sea Island so he did have the intention to visit a more crowded gathering area to trade. Mo Wuji was fully aware of how wealthy the people of this island were. He compared the map on the jade letter given by the red haired man to the one he asked from Ape Mo previously and found out that they were basically the same. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t head towards the Oblique Space Sea City immediately as he chose to return to his residence first. He wouldn¡¯t take the longer route like what Fox Chunchun did as he would take the shortest possible route right to his destination. Even before a slightly mighty spiritual will could sense Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji had already left. After two hours, Mo Wuji¡¯s flying treasure stopped by the water pond. The sight in front of Mo Wuji made his face turned gloomy because the defensive array he set up was completely destroyed. Water within the pond was also swept away and even the soil of the pond was dug several metres deep. As for his previous cultivation venue, it had disappeared completely without a trace. "Could this be Big Brother Mo?" A surprised voice was heard and a short, black haired man darted over. "Yes, I am indeed Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji retracted his anger and killing intent but he had made his decision to not even listen to the explanations of whoever destroyed his place. "Big Brother Mo, Big Brother Ape told me to wait for you here. Big Brother Ape wanted me to let you know that you should head to the Oblique Sea now and never return. Bao Bu contacted a few other experts to get rid of you and even the Red Eyes Turtle ain¡¯t harbouring any good intentions," The black haired man hurried to explain. Mo Wuji knew that this Big Brother Ape was Ape Mo and in this place, Ape Mo was the only person he had a decent relationship with. "Where is Brother Ape now?" Mo Wuji asked. The man replied anxiously, "The Oblique Space Sea City is currently discussing about the opening of array so Big Brother Ape went over too." "Do you know who destroyed my residence?" "It was Bao Bu. Because he couldn¡¯t find you, he came back to wreck your residence." Mo Wuji nodded before handing a jade vase to the messenger man, "Many thanks, this is a True Emperor Pill and it could help you step into the ranks of Class 9 immortal beasts." "True Emperor Pill?" This short man received the jade vase excitedly and before he could even express his gratitude, Mo Wuji had already left without a trace. "Big Brother Ape¡¯s friend is truly different," The man muttered to himself before leaving. ¡­ Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother concealing as he simply controlled the flying treasure and travelled through the Oblique Space Sea Island on a direct path without fear. He was clear that no matter how concealed and cautious he made his way to the Oblique Space Sea City, he would still be unable to prevent the impending war. Since it was not unavoidable, why bother? Many immortal demonic beasts chose to remain silent as Mo Wuji breezed past their territories. However, not every immortal beast had such tolerance as a several metres long grey centipede extended its domain and opened its mouth in an attempt to swallow Mo Wuji and his flying ship. Mo Wuji raised his hand to release lightning explosions and one of them entered the centipede¡¯s mouth. It wanted to puke but was unable to do so as it exploded into two halves. Fortunately for the centipede, Mo Wuji had no intentions to kill it and after injuring this Class 8 immortal centipede, Mo Wuji simply ease past it without slowing down. As if everyone already knew of Mo Wuji¡¯s prowess, nobody tried to stop or obstruct him after this. The speed of his flying ship had reached the maximum and in just one day, he landed right outside the enormously majestic city. Ever since he stepped into the Cultivation world, Mo Wuji had rarely seen cities which was built on bricks because most cities were constructed by all sorts of arrays. Presently, he actually saw a wall made entirely from bricks carved with four words which had dao spirituality circulating around it. The four words were ¡®Oblique Space Sea City¡¯. There was a plaza on the outside of the city and within the plaza was a pathway. This pathway leads to the entrance of the Oblique Space Sea City as it splits the massive plaza into two. Cultivators of the many different races were walking around and it was evidently very crowded. Mo Wuji kept his own flying ship as he walked directly to the entrance of the city. At the same time, his spiritual will covered the entire sky as it extended outwards. Even his spirit storage channel wasn¡¯t resting. Just as Mo Wuji was about to reach the entrance of the city, he came to an abrupt stop. He sensed the defensive array of the Oblique Space Sea City and recognised that it was a Grade 9 immortal array. Grade 9 immortal arrays might be extremely impressive to others but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind. What he was surprised was the material used to build the wall he saw. A material like this was definitely not ordinary because it was a Grade 9 immortal material called the Lightning Soul Rock. Currently, Mo Wuji could be considered as a Grade 9 Smith Emperor so he would naturally know what the Lightning Soul Rock was. The Lightning Soul Rock was extremely rare in the Immortal World and had an exuberant price tag on it. Even if a non-lightning attribute cultivator used it forge a magic treasure, it was still extremely useful and precious. The Lightning Soul Rock had a few uses as it could suppress one¡¯s spiritual will and bound the opponent¡¯s primordial spirit. Besides this, it could turn into a peak grade lightning attribute deathtrap array if it was fused with a deathtrap array. Mo Wuji was cursing in his heart as the b*stards in the Oblique Space Sea City must be really wealthy to think they would use such a precious item to build a wall in the city. It was still acceptable if they used it to build the wall but the most infuriating fact was how terrible the person¡¯s skills was. With that many pure Lightning Soul Rock used, it was only a Grade 6 immortal equipment forged. Furthermore, this equipment could no longer be refined and could only be used here as a wall. All in all, it¡¯s only use was to merge with Grade 9 immortal array on the outside to aid in the locking of cultivators¡¯ primordial spirit and igniting the lightning attribute deathtrap array. If this Lightning Soul Rock wall was also a Grade 9 immortal equipment, Mo Wuji would really reconsider his decision to enter the city. And if he did enter, he would need to prepare beforehand. A Grade 6 immortal equipment which could not be refine was of not much difference when compared to rubbish. Chapter 802: I Have A Little Injust Chapter 802: I Have A Little Injust Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though he didn¡¯t need to prepare anything special, Mo Wuji still used his spirit storage channel to permeate through as he installed void array runes within the defensive arrays of the Oblique Space Sea City. After gaining enlightenment over array runes back when he was in the Sword Qi River in the Sword Qi Prison, Mo Wuji became increasingly interested in array runes. Such void arrays could not only be installed within voids, it could also be casually installed in the sea, underground or within any matter. If Mo Wuji¡¯s array runes technique was put into consideration, even a peak Grade 9 array master might not be able to win Mo Wuji in an array battle. "Haha, Brother Mo, I have been looking all over for you and I¡¯ve finally met you," A clear and bright voie could be head as a striking red¡¯s Red Eyes Turtle walked over with a smile. "Brother Mo, why are you here?" Another voice was heard as Mo Wuji saw the tall Ape Mo. Despite not being as tall and huge as before, Ape Mo was still considered tall at around 2 metres. Moreover, the dao spirituality around him had solidified even further and from this point alone, Mo Wuji knew that Ape Mo had joined the ranks of a Class 10 immortal demonic beast and would not be much weaker than Red Eyes Turtle. "Congratulations Brother Ape for advancement in Dao," Mo Wuji walked forward to greet Ape Mo with a smile. After greeting Ape Mo, Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Red Eyes Turtle, "Great Grand Emperor Red Eyes, long time no see." Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude towards Ape Mo and Red Eyes Turtle was completely different because Ape Mo was considered his friend while the Red Eyes Turtle could only be considered as someone he knew. As if he didn¡¯t notice how Mo Wuji placed less emphasis on him as compared to Ape Mo, Red Eyes Turtle continued smiling, "The Oblique Space Sea Island is currently having their conference so Brother Ape Mo and I are here to welcome Brother Mo. If Brother Mo doesn¡¯t mind, you could go over and have look too. Oh yes, Bao Bu and co. are all aware of your arrival." How could Mo Wuji not know what Red Eyes Turtle meant with his last sentence? He was threatening Mo Wuji saying that since he stepped into the city, he should forget about escaping from here. The moment Mo Wuji tried to leave, Bao Bu would definitely chase after him. "Brother Mo, hurry up and leave because Bao Bu and co. are waiting there for you," Ape Mo was worried that Mo Wuji would really head inside so he hurried to transmit a message to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded towards Ape Mo before saying to Red Eyes Turtle, "Alright, I''ve heard that the conference is about the division of the Black Spatial Fruit and since I¡¯m also interested in it, let¡¯s go to the conference together then." "Haha, Brother Mo is indeed straightforward, this way please," Red Eyes Turtle laughed as he extended his arm to direct Mo Wuji. In his heart, he was despising Mo Wuji for being so ignorant even as death closed in on him. Instead of pleading him, Red Eyes Turtle, for help, he even dared to mention about the Black Spatial Fruit. Ape Mo could only sigh as he was completely helpless as well. At this moment, Mo Wuji could really forget about escaping anymore. ¡­ The distance between the entrance of the city and the Oblique Sea Island Hall of the Oblique Space Sea City was about a few thousand metres. Even as Red Eyes Turtle was walking speedily, Mo Wuji continued to walk at his own pace as he casually started chatting with Ape Mo. With every step that Mo Wuji took in this city, he would use his spirit storage channel to install a void array. As Red Eyes Turtle noticed Mo Wuji¡¯s slow pace, he could only stop to wait for Mo Wuji as he started planning on how to obtain the most out of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor so one could imagine how much more time Mo Wuji would spend on concocting pills in the future. To detain Mo Wuji on his own might be impossible now so what he needed was to maximise the number of pills he would obtain from Mo Wuji. After an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji saw the Oblique Sea Island Hall. The hall was also made of the lightning soul stone and even though the lightning radiance was concealed, Mo Wuji could still sense the immense oppression and energy from the lightning source due to the limited abilities of the smith master. "Brother Mo, please enter," Red Eyes Turtle extended his warm warmly once again. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stand on any ceremony as he entered willingly. The hall was incomparably wide and it was designed luxuriously. Within the round shaped hall, there were tens of people seated down and once Mo Wuji entered, all the eyes and attention fell on Mo Wuji. "Mo Wuji, I was still thinking that you don¡¯t intend to return from the Oblique Sea. Are you here to return my item?" Bao Bu¡¯s icy cold voice could be heard as faint killing intent started shrouding Mo Wuji. Red Eyes Turtle didn¡¯t mind Bao Bu¡¯s killing intent as he turned to Mo Wuji with a smile before saying, "Brother Mo, let me introduce some people to you. I will skip myself and Bao Bu since you knew us beforehand. Let me introduce you from Condor Hen onwards. This man with an imposing appearance is Condor Hen¡­" Mo Wuji saw that the person Red Eyes Turtle was pointing at was a black robed man with an aquiline nose, long face and thin ears. From whichever angle Mo Wuji looked at him, he didn¡¯t look like someone with an imposing appearance. Mo Wuji lamented in his heart because if he let Red Eyes Turtle and this Condor Hen stand on a performing stage, this sentence alone would definitely come with a round of applause. "... Beside Condor Hen on the side nearer to myself are Wu He, Sen Lan, Ye Yizhong, Peng Fei¡¯Er and Xue Lu respectively. The eight of us have a special term of address for ourselves in the Oblique Space Sea Island, called the Oblique Sea Island Eight Great Grand Emperors. Of course, Ape Mo has also followed closely behind us as he stepped into the ranks of Class 10." When Red Eyes Turtle was introducing, Mo Wuji had already noticed that Wu He was wearing a crimson robe with faint fog exuding from him. Even without using his spiritual will to scan, Mo Wuji knew that he must be a fella with centipede extract and energy in him. Ye Yizhong was the only human race expert among everyone. Despite not being able to tell whether this fella was born from the Immortal World, his human race energy was clearly felt by Mo Wuji. As for that Sen Lin, Mo Wuji guessed Gods Race because this fella had tree bark as his skin and was similar to those Dao Emperors from the Gods Race which he previously killed. Peng Fei¡¯Er looked extremely handsome with his pale skin but Mo Wuji was unable to guess which race he came from. That fella called Xue Lu had a spirituality just like his name[1] as he exuded faint energy of blood. Mo Wuji had never seen a blood race cultivator but Mo Wuji could tell that this fella should be one of them. Red Eyes Turtle didn¡¯t introduce the rest of the people there and Mo Wuji could guess from their spirituality that they were the weaker fellas. Golden Iron Crane and Fox Chunchun didn¡¯t come and Mo Wuji wondered if its because they were not done refining their magic treasures or because of other matters. Ape Mo pulled Mo Wuji and said, "Brother Mo, sit beside me." Mo Wuji nodded as he ignored Bao Bu and as he walked to a seat beside Ape Mo. Noticing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t express or say anything, he sat down too as Red Eyes Turtle hurried to say, "Fellow Dao Friends, this is the Tier 9 Pill Emperor, Mo Wuji whom I¡¯ve talked about." "A Tier 9 Pill Emperor is indeed different, even Brother Bao Bu¡¯s words could be so casually ignored," Condor Hen said faintly. Mo Wuji knew that this Condor Hen must be extraordinarily powerful because otherwise, Red Eyes Turtle wouldn¡¯t mention him first and Ape Mo and co. wouldn¡¯t be so fearful of him. "Fellow Dao Friends, previously, this Mo Wuji stole my item and I¡¯ve yet to settle this score with him. Today, I shall settle my scores with him so I please everyone to be magnanimous enough to allow me so," Before Mo Wuji could say anything, Bao Bu casually stood up. Nobody spoke because everyone was certain that Mo Wuji was bound to be concocting pills for everyone here in the Oblique Space Sea Island in the future. Mo Wuji would naturally be needed to be taught a lesson before detaining his soul. "Great Grand Emperor Bao Bu is right but before that happens, I want to ask some questions," Wu stood up as he clasped his fist and his urge to speak was clearly evident. Bao Bu saw that Wu He had stood up so he said, "That is of course, Brother Wu please go ahead." Wu He pointed at Mo Wuji before saying in a stern tone, "This fella is extremely arrogant and was extremely unbridled on his way to the Oblique Space Sea Island causing restrictions of some of our friends on this island to be damaged. A grey centipede of my clan was in closed cultivation but this fella broke through his defensive array and even injure him with a lightning ball. Every please discuss whether it is just for me to demand for some compensation?" Everyone heard Wu He¡¯s words and started their own discussions. Everyone was certain that Mo Wuji would be concocting pills for this island in the future but one could imagine the amount of good items would be on a Tier 9 Pill Emperor¡¯s storage ring? Before sealing up Mo Wuji¡¯s primordial spirit, one would definitely earn a fortune if he could get a share of Mo Wuj¡¯s items. "Of course it should be the case. A treasure of my residence was also stolen by this fella and it showed clearly how vile this fella was," Bao Bu was the first to respond. He knew that Wu He had the same thinking as him as both wanted a share of Mo Wuji¡¯s items. "Brother Mo, could this be true?" Red Eyes Turtle looked doubtfully at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded, "It is indeed true but Red Eyes, don¡¯t tell me there are still rules on this island? Compensation is needed even if I accidentally tore an immortal residence and injured a grey centipede? You should know that as a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, I will be respected and admired wherever I go in the Immortal World." The crowd found this funny because this fella was clearly used to be arrogant and domineering during his time in the Immortal World. Before waiting for Red Eyes Turtle to speak, a cold voice grunted before saying, "Tsk, my Oblique Space Sea Island had always been a fair place and whoever, even a Tier 10 Pill Emperor, would face the same consequence for the same crime offended. Mo Wuji, do you have anything else to say?" Condor Hen grunted as he shouted after slamming the table. This time, even Red Eyes Turtle sighed as he said, "Ai, Brother Mo violated the rules of the Oblique Space Sea Island and even I am unable to help your cause." Mo Wuji asked surprisingly, "I only broke some restrictions and I didn¡¯t even destroy his immortal residence¡­" Condor Hen replied coldly, "If you destroyed someone¡¯s else residence, do you think you would still be alive now?" Mo Wuji hurried to clasp his fist, "So destroying someone¡¯s residence would cause one to lose their life? Oh no, I really didn¡¯t know that this was such a just and safe place. Since this is the case, I must definitely compensate but how do I go about it?" "On the account that you know Red Eyes, just hand over your storage ring," Wu He said faintly. "Alright," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he handed Wu He his storage ring. The storage ring Mo Wuji retrieved only had a few rubbish spirit stones from the Cultivation World and nothing else. However, the restrictions on his storage ring was very strong so Wu He could forget about opening the storage ring in a short period of time. Seeing that Mo Wuji took out his storage ring willingly, Bao Bu sat down because what he needed to do next was to share the gains with Wu He. "Fellow great powers, when I¡¯ve heard that the Oblique Space Sea Island is a just and safe place, I am truly rest assured which is why I am more than willing to compensate. However, I have a little injustice to report too so I wonder if I am allowed to speak?" Mo Wuji said once again after taking out the storage ring. Chapter 803: The Crushing Finger Chapter 803: The Crushing Finger Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The entire hall quietened down as everyone looked surprisingly at Mo Wuji. Was this fella too used to being admired and respected in the Immortal World that he became dumb here? Fair and just? How did this fella become a Pill Emperor? "Haha, Pill Master Mo can definitely do so. Our Oblique Space Sea Island is indeed fair and Pill Master Mo would be able to experience it personally very soon," Wu He said while laughing because he was currently in a good mood. With the storage ring of a Tier 9 Pill Emperor in his hands, how could he not feel good? "That is great because I am a person who fancies justice too," Mo Wuji said pleasingly before pointing at Bao Bu, "Some years ago when I left for the Oblique Sea, this person tore apart the restrictions of my immortal cave and destroyed my entire immortal cave. I could forget about this but the 9000 over peak grade immortal veins and a peak grade cleansing marrow pool was swept away by this fella too. According to Great Grand Emperor Condor Hen explanation previously, this fella should be slaughtered. May I plead the fellow Great Grand Emperors for your just opinions." Some slightly weaker fellas lowered their heads because if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they weren¡¯t qualified enough, they would have started laughing hysterically. 9000 over peak grade immortal veins? Does this fella thinks that immortal veins are like soil on the roadside? Wu He nodded his head seriously, "Pill Emperor Mo is right and should definitely punish Brother Bao Bu. We allow Pill Emperor Mo to punish Brother Bao Bu as you wish." "Yes, we have no objections," The other Great Grand Emperors agreed while Bao Bu revealed a slight expression of ridicule and was too lazy to even bother opening his eyes fully. Mo Wuji saw that Red Eyes Turtle didn¡¯t comply and agree with the rest and his impression of Red Eyes became slightly better. "Since this is the case, I shall not be courteous then," Mo Wuji chuckled as he clasped his fists in one round. Before his round was completed, Mo Wuji suddenly raised his arm and drew out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd before sweeping out millions of halberd radiance towards Bao Bu. "Kacha!" All the tables and chairs within the round shaped hall were instantly destroyed by Mo Wuji¡¯s endless halberd radiance. Terrifying and wild killing intent instantaneously filled up every corner of the space and at this moment, everyone in the hall could feel that icy cold killing intent. In fact, even the space started to tremble under the pressure of such killing intent. Presently, everyone wouldn¡¯t care about anything else except to extend out their own domain. However, the instance everyone extended their domain, that immense whirlpool-like energy started surging towards everyone. "Kakaka!" Despite not bearing the brunt, the domain who a few slightly weaker cultivators were ripped apart under Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain. Those immortal demonic beasts who had just stepped into Class 9 even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as they scurried back anxiously. Even the domains of the Eight Great Grand Emperors started trembling under the wrath of Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain. This included Bao Bu as his own domain had been torn apart too. Bao Bu knew that this was trouble and because he didn¡¯t put Mo Wuji in his eyes, he didn¡¯t expect that Mo Wuji would actually be this frightening. Suddenly, he was being crushed by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew that he was still a distance apart from Bao Bu in terms of strength and it wasn¡¯t that close till the extent that he could easily crush or restrain Bao Bu. Currently, he made use of the fact that Bao Bu had yet to take him seriously so that he could kill Bao Bu in the shortest possible time before using this as a warning to others. "Boom boom boom!" Bao Bu finally responded as he hurried to extend his domain again but it was instantly swept away by Mo Wuji as the endless halberd radiance locked onto the entire space around him. Bao Bu panicked as he quickly grabbed his Qiankun Hook. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji slashed his Half Moon Weighted Halberd and his halberd radiance didn¡¯t take long to destroy the Qiankun Hook radiance. Soon after, the entire space around Bao Bu was under Mo Wuji¡¯s control once again. "Everyone help¡­" Bao Bu only murmured two words and he could instantly feel that his body was being confined. Less than a second later, he saw a finger. An energy similar to that of the world collapsing and exploding surged towards Bao Bu¡¯s mind. If he was considered an ant in his World of Man, this finger controlled the entire World of Man as it directly transcended the endless void and slowly oppressed against this ant. At this moment, his one finger was the dictator of the entire Heaven and Earth, the origin of the vast universe. Under his finger, everything could be exterminated, everything could disappear. "No!" Bao Bu cried out devastatingly as he wanted to burn his entire blood essence just to escape this finger. However, his blood essence had been restrained and everything was under absolute control of this finger. If he had one more chance, he, Bao Bu, would definitely not offend this Pill Master Mo in front of him. However, he wouldn¡¯t have that chance again as he could only stare blankly at the destruction brought along by this finger onto his body. Mo Wuji was still one step in the void and after he executed his spatial imprisonment sacred art, he pointed out his finger as he wanted to test his own Seven World Finger. Once the finger was out, the space around them started to distort and change. Mo Wuji shut his eyes and everything within his will started to clear up. In fact, he even had a sensing that under finger, everything became ant-like and his finger was like the dictator of the entire World of Man as it controlled even the adjudication of all life and death. Even if Bao Bu was one of the Eight Great Grand Emperor, one of the peak grade expert of the Oblique Space Sea Island, he was still only an ant under this finger. So this was how it worked, Mo Wuji opened his eyes. "Bang!" Bao Bu¡¯s fleshly body was lacerated as it turned into a blood fog and disappeared far away. Even his primordial spirit had disappeared without a trace under this same finger. Mo Wuji opened his hand to sweep up the storage ring. He knew that he had underestimated his own Seven World Finger because with this finger, there was simply no need to execute his spatial imprisonment sacred art first. This was because after this finger, all space became fabricated. Mo Wuji was even clearer about the Seven World Finger¡¯s "...In Emptiness, there is no form, feelings¡­" Under this finger, all the rules became imaginary while all the space could be disregarded. He had only executed his first World Killer- Seven World Finger so how terrifying would it be if his entire Seven World Finger was completed? Back when he was in the Immortal Reverent Stage and he executed his Seven World Finger, it basically swept away his entire body¡¯s immortal energy and spiritual will. Now that he stepped into the Immortal Reverent Stage, his one finger only caused his face to turn pale. Because of this, he wondered how it would be if he executed his Spiritual Will Arrow now. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath before saying, "My apologies, my attack was slightly too heavy and have destroyed some of the flowers. I am sorry, truly sorry and yes I know, I know I will definitely compensate because this place is fair and just. There is no need for anyone to remind me." Even after Mo Wuji completed his silence, the entire hall remained silent. The few Class 9 immortal demonic beasts, who spat out blood earlier on, were staring at this scene in absolute fear. The seven Great Grand Emperors, including Condor Hen, were all shivering with a back full of cold sweat. If they hadn¡¯t realise what kind of existence they had offended at this very moment, they wouldn¡¯t be fit to be one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors. How long did it even take for Mo Wuji to oppress and eventually kill of Bao Bu? Even with the join attack of the Seven Great Grand Emperors, they might not be able to finish off Bao Bu in a short period of time and might not even be able to stop him from escaping. Now that Mo Wuji had killed off Bao Bu using just one finger, it implied that Mo Wuji was capable to restraining any single one of these Seven Great Grand Emperors left. Condor Hen was equally speechless as a layer of fear grew in his thin eyes. Even so, he continued to say, "So do you mean to say that, just because Pill Emperor Mo is strong, you came to my Oblique Sea Island to kill people so arrogantly?" Once he regained his composure, Condor Hen felt that Mo Wuji only managed to kill off Bao Bu because it was a sneak attack. If all the Great Grand Emperors here including the other experts around joint hands to attack Mo Wuji, they might have a chance of succeeding. "So whatever you said previously was b*llshit? I should gain compensation because others destroyed my residence but I followed your words to kill Bao Bu, who was the one who destroyed my residence, and this is considered arrogance? Very good, this place is indeed fair and just. Then I guess I wouldn¡¯t have to go by logic anymore¡­" The moment Mo Wuji said out the last word, he took a step forward as he threw out a punch. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s sacred art, Domain Crushing Fist. Simultaneously, the void array runes which Mo Wuji installed had already locked onto the space around Condor Hen. The Seven World Finger would exhaust himself very quickly so he mustn''t keep using it as there were still many experts around. Condor Hen felt Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent as he instantly retreated but just as he moved half a step backwards, he felt some slight warping of the space around him. Condor Hen had never experience void array runes before so he didn¡¯t know that the type of array runes Mo Wuji set up could only scare someone. Even if Condor Hen continued to retreat, he wouldn¡¯t face any danger. However, with Bao Bu as a vivid example, who would still dare to touch a warped space? Without daring to move, Condor Hen threw out a punch. "Boom!" Terrifying flame exploded in mid air and Condor Hen could actually sense that Mo Wuji¡¯s punch actually extended out a domain. His domain was already oppressed by Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain and this domain extended out from the punch actually directly put off his punch "Bang!" The terrifying flame coupled with the Domain Crushing Fist resulted in an intense immortal energy adding to a flame which directly turned Condor Hen¡¯s arm into nothingness. Condor Hen could no longer care about the warping of the space behind him caused by the array runes as he retreated wildly. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t chase after him because he knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to do so even if he chased after him. Condor Hen was already frightened by how Mo Wuji managed to kill of Bao Bu so there was a little fear during his fight with Mo Wuji. Once Condor Hen retreated and realised that the array runes didn¡¯t affect him, he would come to his realisation. Mo Wuji was very satisfied with this punch because it had been long time since his Domain Crushing Fist merged with his Scholar¡¯s Heart. Now that he managed to merge them together, even if Condor Hen realised about the array runes, he would still be hurt badly. The only difference was that this Condor Hen¡¯s arm was already gone. Mo Wuji¡¯s fight with Condor Hen only lasted for an instance and when everyone came to their senses, the battle had already ended and Condor Hen had an arm lacerated by Mo Wuji. Condor Hen¡¯s face turned gloomy as he realised that he was frightened by Mo Wuji and even lost an arm in the process. At this moment, he was certain that if everyone worked together willingly, they would still be able to get rid of Mo Wuji. Despite so, he didn¡¯t continue to speak because he knew that nobody would stand up at this moment to support him. If he continued to offend a vicious and ruthless man like Mo Wuji, he might be the next one to follow Bao Bu¡¯s footsteps. An unknown immortal fruit was swallowed by Condor Hen and that lost arm instantly restored. Everyone was well aware that because of this arm, Condor Hen¡¯s strength had decreased significantly and it wouldn¡¯t recover fully within a few million years. Mo Wuji chuckled and said to the extremely quiet crowd as he said, "Everyone please take a seat and we shall start talking about the Black Spatial Fruit." Chapter 804: Plotting Against Mo Wuji Chapter 804: Plotting Against Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Red Eyes Turtle said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Mo is right and now that the misunderstandings have been cleared, we should sit down and discuss this." Even as he addressed Mo Wuji as Brother Mo, his heart was in a perilous situation. When he first received news of Mo Wuji¡¯s return to the Oblique Space Sea Island, he did have the intention of detaining Mo Wuji at his small Black Tortoise Mountain alone. However, he thought of the fact that news of Mo Wuji¡¯s return would definitely be leaked out too. Bao Bu would definitely be aware of Mo Wuji¡¯s return and if he were to capture Mo Wuji himself, there was a high chance that he would offend Bao Bu and the other seven Great Grand Emperors. At the thought of this, he didn¡¯t choose to capture Mo Wuji forcefully. Currently, he was secretly rejoicing and fearful that he didn¡¯t try to capture Mo Wuji himself. Looking at how terrifying Mo Wuji was, the Red Eyes Turtle would have already disappeared from the surface of the world if he even attempted to do so. "Yes...yes¡­" The others started taking out their own stools and nobody dared to mention anything about Mo Wuji¡¯s compensation for destroying the furniture. Ape Mo was beyond elated because he would have never expected Mo Wuji to become so strong. However, he wouldn¡¯t say anything at a moment like this and because Mo Wuji still had the upper hand in this situation, there was no need for him to offend anyone else now. Once the crowd settled down, Mo Wuji scanned through the crowd with his eyes. As Wu He felt Mo Wuji¡¯s scan, he felt a slight chill because he had just forced Mo Wuji to hand over his storage ring. What should he do if Mo Wuji chooses to find trouble with him now? At this moment, even an idiot would know that the storage ring Mo Wuji gave Wu He was nothing but rubbish because why would someone with a character like Mo Wuji hand over his precious items just like that? Moreover, Mo Wuji drew out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd which clearly indicated that he still had other storage rings with him. If obtaining Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring earlier on felt like drinking a cup of ice cold water in the summer, all he was feeling now was uneasiness as if he was being roasted in an oven. If it wasn¡¯t for his pride, he would have taken the initiative to return that storage ring to Mo Wuji. Just as Wu He was considering if he should return the storage ring to Mo Wuji, Condor Hen¡¯s voice could be heard in his mind, "Brother Wu, do you think that just because you return the storage ring back to that fella, he would let you go? He would kill mercilessly and Bao Bu was one fine example. Bao Bu had never intended to kill him as all he wanted was to hold Mo Wuji accountable but what happened to him eventually? Having taken his storage ring, you still hope that he would let you go? That is simply a foolish man¡¯s dream. Give up on this impractical idea and once we leave the Oblique Sea Hall, the seven of us work together to make use of the Oblique Sea Lightning City as well as the grand killing array. At that point in time, we would definitely be able to get rid of him. I will continue contacting the rest of them and you simply need to acknowledge in silence¡­" Almost concurrently, Red Eyes Turtle and the four others received Condor Hen¡¯s message. How could Mo Wuji not notice the fluctuations in the space surrounding them? However, because Condor Hen¡¯s cultivation level was high, Mo Wuji was unable to discern what he was telling the rest of them. Mo Wuji noticed that Ye Yizhong was about to greet him but stopped right after he almost stood up and this made Mo Wuji guess that their plan should be to deal with Mo Wuji together. Even so, Mo Wuji was not afraid at all. It was true that the city was refined by lightning soul stone but these lightning soul stone had been destroyed. Despite having the Grade 9 defensive array city, the standard of construction and refinement of the lightning soul stone was simply too low. Additionally, he had made some preparations beforehand by installing the void array runes all over the city. If they were to get into a fight, Mo Wuji, a Grade 8 array master, was confident of controlling the entire defensive array of the city. Even if he was unable to do so, it was sufficient for him to protect himself. "Dao Friend Wu He, I wonder where this Black Spatial Fruit is located at?" Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes landed on Wu He. Wu He sighed in his heart because he really didn¡¯t want Mo Wuji to put the attention on him. Now that Mo Wuji questioned him directly, he really didn¡¯t dare to not answer. If he chose not to answer Mo Wuji, it would be giving him an excuse to act and Wu He really didn¡¯t have the guts to give Mo Wuji any excuses to act against him at a point like this. There wasn¡¯t any peak grade deathtrap array within this hall and even on the outside, he wasn¡¯t capable enough to ignite it. Just as Wu He had no idea how to reply Mo Wuji, one of the Eight Great Grand Emperor, Sen Lan, spoke abruptly, "Dao Friend Mo is a member of my Oblique Sea Island so you would naturally be given a share of the Black Spatial Fruit. However, every time before we divide the Black Spatial Fruit, we would always gather here to undergo a round of transactions. Of course, we could split the Black Spatial Fruit first if Dao Friend Mo couldn¡¯t wait." The instance Sen Lan¡¯s words were out, Condor Hen was elated because everyone else understood Sen Lan¡¯s intentions. This was their agreement to Condor Hen¡¯s plan to eliminate Mo Wuji together. Even though the Oblique Space Sea Island had a chain deathtrap array which could join up with lightning attacks, this grand array was basically never ignited. After all, the powerhouses had already been finalised and confirmed throughout the countless of years. The Eight Great Grand Emperors controlled the island and they would naturally be in control over the grand array too. Nobody would be allowed to ignite the grand deathtrap array alone and now that Sen Lan had spoken to stall Mo Wuji, it was to allow someone else to go ahead to ignite the deathtrap array. The reason why time was needed was because Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring was with Mo Wuji and one of the array flag needed to ignite the grand array was in Bao Bu¡¯s ring. Now that they were unable to retrieve Bao Bu¡¯s array flag, they would need time to think of a new way to ignite the grand array. Mo Wuji chuckled, "I am naturally fine with it. However, I am on a tight schedule so if there isn¡¯t any decent item, I am afraid that I would not extend my stay here." Mo Wuji was not aware that all eight array flags were needed to ignite the grand deathtrap array of the city but he had guessed that these fellas were clearly trying to stall time. There would only be two reasons why they would want to stall time and the first was because they were trying to evacuate the Black Spatial Fruit and second would be that they were trying to trap him. He was not afraid of having the Black Spatial Fruit shifted elsewhere because if they were unable to take out a Black Spatial Fruit for him, he would go visit each and every one of the Great Grand Emperor¡¯s residence accordingly. He basically didn¡¯t believe that they wouldn¡¯t bring out the Black Spatial Fruit if he were to cause such a ruckus on the island. As for the possibility of them trapping him, they would at most make use of the lightning attributed deathtrap array which he wouldn¡¯t even be afraid of. "That is of course. I shall start the ball rolling humbly then. The item I am willing to give up is a Grade 8 immortal array plate called the Ten Thousand Protective Array. What I need is a peak grade offensive magic treasure¡­" Once Mo Wuji finished speaking, Sen Lan was the first to speak. Mo Wuji was shocked because even though the defensive array plate was a decent item, how could this be considered a good item? In his eyes, an item like this was no different from rubbish. If he wanted, all he needed was materials and he would be able to forge out piles and piles of such an array plate. "I have a Grade 8 immortal equipment called the Flowy Flying Immortal Spear and if possible, I would like to trade this with Brother Sen¡¯s defensive plate," Ye Yizhong hurried to respond the moment he heard of the defensive plate. "My offer is the Heavenly Domain Ring and this magic treasure could not only attack as it could defend too," Mo Wuji said with a trace of convincing excitement in his eyes. Moments later, Mo Wuji reacted. Sen Lin¡¯s Grade 8 defensive immortal array plate was meant for him and his guess was that Sen Lin¡¯s purpose was definitely not for an offensive treasure. He wanted to test to see if Mo Wuji was proficient in array dao because if Mo Wuji was, he wouldn¡¯t be so enthusiastic about the array plate. Evidently, these fellas wanted to use the deathtrap array of the city to trap him. Regardless of whether his guess was right or wrong, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he made his offer. He didn¡¯t only kill one or two Immortal Emperors and he would definitely have obtained a few Grade 9 immortal equipment from their storage rings. He was a Grade 9 Smith Master himself and despite having just stepped into it recently, he could still barely forge out Grade 9 immortal equipment. Flashes of unwillingness was seen from Ye Yizhong¡¯s eyes and soon after, he shook his head and didn¡¯t continue to offer an even higher bid. "Alright, this defensive array plate shall go to Dao Friend Mo then," Sen Lan said as he handed Mo Wuji the plate instantly. Mo Wuji also took out the Grade 9 Heavenly Domain Ring as he tossed it over while sneering in his heart. It was true that none of the Gods Race members was decent being. This fella was truly cautious to think that he would use this method to confirm that he wasn¡¯t a top grade array master. Being a Pill Emperor alone would require a long and arduous amount of years coupled with the mammoth amount of resources so it would simply be impossible for a Pill Emperor to also be a top grade immortal array master. The pity was that this fella didn¡¯t know that he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. Back then, Smith Emperor Xu Suren did tell him in his face that those who cultivated using the Immortal Mortal Technique would find it easy whether they were learning Equipment Dao, Pill Dao, Array Dao or even talisman. Moreover, their ability to gain insights on such daos were also multiple times greater than average people. The truth was indeed like this because ever since he started cultivation, he had also been able to deduce many things from one case using his dao revelation channel. This was why he knew Array Dao and wasn¡¯t bad in Equipment Dao too. Mo Wuji was certain that Bao Bu didn¡¯t reveal the entire situation of his water pond residence because otherwise, Sen Lan would have known that he was an immortal array master of a decent grade. "I want to trade off a Grade 9 Diamond Fantasy Gravel and I want to trade for a fist type sacred art¡­" The second person to speak was Xue Lu. A trace of disappointment flashed across Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes as he even shook his head. Wu He had been watching Mo Wuji intently and as he noticed Mo Wuji expression, he was shocked as he knew that Mo Wuji was not interested in these items. It wasn¡¯t only Wu He as even Condor Hen, who was intending to plot against Mo Wuji, was starting to worry. If they were to keep using such average items to trade, Mo Wuji might not have that much patience to wait here. Nobody was willing to trade with Xue Lu and without waiting for anyone else to speak, Condor Hen took the initiative to clasp his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Dao Friend Mo, my previous attitude towards you was wrong. However, Bao Bu is my friend so I hope that you would bring out his storage ring to trade. Please state your price Pill Master Mo¡­" After a short pause, Condor Hen continued, "Naturally, if Dao Friend Mo is willing and is open to state your price, the pre-condition was that Pill Master Mo must not take away any of Brother Bao Bu¡¯s items. If Dao Friend Mo is willing to trade, you must not use your spiritual will from now on. Otherwise, our negotiation is over." Everyone heard these words and didn¡¯t continue speaking. Evidently, everyone knew what Condor Hen¡¯s intention was as he wanted to retrieve Bao Bu¡¯s array flag to save everyone¡¯s time. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think that Condor Hen would actually want his storage ring and no matter what Condor Hen¡¯s intention was, Mo Wuji had already used his spirit storage channel to surpass Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring¡¯s restrictions. Others might be able to detect when he used his spiritual will but even if Condor Hen was ten times smarter, he wouldn¡¯t be able to guess that he had a spirit storage channel. Chapter 805: A Deal To Everyone’s Delight and Satisfaction Chapter 805: A Deal To Everyone¡¯s Delight and Satisfaction Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was a Grade 8 immortal array master and also a Grade 9 Smith Emperor so poor standards like Bao Bu¡¯s restriction had never posed a problem for him. Moreover, Bao Bu had already been killed so the restrictions on the storage ring were even simpler to remove. In fact, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t break the restrictions of Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring as the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel had already wind open the restriction and he had already seen everything within the storage ring. There were at least 40 immortal veins and half of those were even of the peak grade. In addition to that, there was also a pile of Tier 7 immortal herbs as well as small pile of lightning soul stone. Mo Wuji suspected that these Eight Great Grand Emperor had found a massive lightning soul stone mining area which was why the luxurious use of the stone to build this city before splitting the remainder among themselves. When Mo Wuji saw a stalk of the Void Nirvana Root, he finally understood why Condor Hen wanted to trade for Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring. The Void Nirvana Root was a supreme treasure as it was one of the few treasures without a grade or tier. If he didn¡¯t have the Void Nirvana Root, even Mo Wuji would do everything in his might to trade for it. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he swept away 60% of the lightning soul stones, taking away about 10 peak grade immortal veins as well as half of the immortal herbs around. As for the Void Nirvana Root, he sent it directly into his Undying World. Given his current strength, as long as he placed his Undying World near to the storage ring before using the spirit storage channel to shift the items, no one would be able to see anything. While he was transferring the items, there was absolutely no trace of any fluctuations in space caused by spiritual will. Mo Wuji kept this items because he wanted to find out what kind of offer Condor Hen would come up with. "So what do Dao Friend Mo thinks about it?" Noticing that Mo Wuji kept quiet, Condor Hen asked once more. Mo Wuji rubbed his forehead before saying with a frown, "Offer me a price and I¡¯ll see if it is suitable. If I don¡¯t fancy it, I will not accept this trade. After all, I obtained Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring and because he is also one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors, his items would probably not be any worse than yours¡­" Just as he said this, Mo Wuji saw an array flag within Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring. Evidently, this was the array flag to control the defensive array of the city. Throughout these years of cultivation, Mo Wuji had faced countless of encirclement and dangers before. Once such an array flag appeared, he knew that his previous guess that Condor Hen wanted the Void Nirvana Root might be wrong. For a treasure like the Void Nirvana Root, Bao Bu wouldn¡¯t have told Condor Hen about it. It was very likely that Condor Hen was actually after this array flag as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will could sense that this was actually an array flag which needed the use of other array flags to ignite the grand array of the city. This was meant to say that there was a high possibility that to ignite the grand defensive array, all Eight Great Grand Emperors would have to come together to control it. Bao Bu¡¯s array flag was merely one of the eight array flags needed to do so. Now that he had gotten rid of Bao Bu and if he didn¡¯t hand the array flag over to Condor Hen, they might find it difficult to activate the defensive array outside. In other words, they might spend much more time doing so. If this was the case, the purpose of this trade would be fairly obvious. They were planning to stall him here while they think of a new way to activate the deathtrap array without the use of the eight array flags. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart as he started using his spiritual will to carve out array runes on the array flag. If he didn¡¯t know Array Dao, it would be well deserved if he fell for their trap. Now that they actually used a deathtrap array in front of a peak grade immortal array master like Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would teach these fellas a lesson on why they shouldn¡¯t offend an array master. Just like Condor Hen and the rest, Mo Wuji was indeed hoping that they would activate the Oblique Space Sea City¡¯s grand defensive array to deal with him. If they didn¡¯t activate the defensive array, these experts would rely on their joint attack to go head to head against him. When that happened, his only option would be to escape. Even though he managed to kill Bao Bu, it was only because no one else intervened. Moreover, Bao Bu was arrogant as he treated Mo Wuji as the same Mo Wuji back when he was still an Immortal Reverent which was why it was no surprise that he was killed by Mo Wuji¡¯s finger. Once the city¡¯s defensive array was activated, it would be a different case because as long as he could gain control over the array here, he wouldn¡¯t fear the encirclement of all these experts. The worst case scenario would at most be him escaping once he realised he couldn¡¯t beat everyone of them. "My storage ring is here and Dao Friend Mo can check it out¡­" Condor Hen actually threw out his own storage ring left it suspending in the air. Mo Wuji said faintly, If Dao Friend Hen is truly sincere in trading, please remove the restrictions on ur storage ring." As he spoke, Mo Wuji had also thrown out Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring to suspend in the air to indicate that he didn¡¯t have any other intention. Watching Mo Wuji threw out Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring, Condor Hen and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. The time between Condor Hen¡¯s mentioning of the trade to Mo Wuji¡¯s act of taking out the storage ring was simply too short. If Mo Wuji could remove the storage ring¡¯s restriction within such a short period of time, his array dao would be too terrifyingly strong. Condor Hen hurried to say, "My apologies, I actually forgot about that." Just as he said this, Condor Hen removed all the restrictions on his storage ring and at this moment, everyone else could look at Condor Hen¡¯s items. There was a total of 50 immortal veins but there was only about 10 peak grade ones. Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that Condor Hen had kept most of the items in his storage ring. He was also feeling disdainful because if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he wanted Condor Hen to take the array flag away, he would really not mind calling this deal off. There was also a large pile of lightning soul stones and was in fact, much more than Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring. There were similar amount of immortal herbs, and all sorts of jade letters¡­ The content of the jade letters were basically all cultivation techniques and some simple sacred arts. A simple and unadorned pill furnace appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and Mo Wuji was instantly attracted by it. The pill furnace he was currently using was still the Grade 8 pill furnace which he forged himself. Before this, his pill furnace had always been a below average Grade 8 pill furnace. As for this pill furnace, Mo Wuji was convinced that it wasn¡¯t an immortal grade equipment and that it must have surpassed the grades of immortal equipments. There was an indescribable feeling felt by Mo Wuji as if this pill furnace was calling out for him to refine it. What a great item, this was definitely a great item. Mo Wuji finally understood why Condor Hen was confident that this would attract Mo Wuji. It had to be this pill furnace because Mo Wuji was Tier 9 Pill Emperor which was why he must be extremely enthusiastic about such a pill furnace. A good pill furnace was something most pill masters would not be willing to give up on. Mo Wuji had no choice but to admit that Condor Hen succeeded because he really wanted this pill furnace. Even if he was unaware of their plan to use the array flag, he would still have went ahead with the deal. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will went past the pill furnace as he saw a golden coloured jade letter. Mo Wuji had seen many jade letter before but there were very few that were golden in colour. His spiritual will seeped through it and when Mo Wuji saw the content of the jade letter, he almost jumped out in shock. This was actually a jade letter which described the refinement of a puppet and this was the first time Mo Wuji had a thirst for something. It was true that he was a Grade 9 Smith Emperor but he was never proficient in refining or forging puppets. Smithing and refining puppets were two different matters because to refine puppet, one must not only be proficient in smithing, one would need to be proficient in array dao too. Beside this, one must have a certain level of understanding towards some other knowledge. This was in fact, not to refine the average kind of puppets but a puppet with equipment spirit just like Da Huang. Therefore, the knowledge required would be multiple thousands times greater. This was also the main reason why good immortal puppets were so rare. This jade letter did not only introduce how to refine puppets, it even introduced some methods and techniques to refine puppets with equipment spirit. Even if there weren¡¯t any pill furnace, Mo Wuji would not let this trade go off just because of this jade letter. Da Huang was a puppet but was already considered as his friend since a long time ago. Initially, Da Huang had even fought and defend against countless of experts just to protect Mo Wuji and was eventually destroyed by the combined attack of three Immortal Emperors and one Quasi-Emperor. Up till today, Mo Wuji was still unable to forget Da Huang last words, "Master, please leave now...Da Huang is unable to beat them¡­" This sentence brought along immense emotions and a tint of unwillingness to leave this world from Da Huang but he was still eventually destroyed into pieces. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, Da Huang was merely a child who¡¯s wisdom had yet to be matured and just when he was starting to grow and observe the world, he was killed by several experts. Revenge had to be sought after but before he did that, Mo Wuji really wanted to bring Da Huang back first. A part of Da Huang¡¯s equipment spirit was still kept in his Undying World. He had always wanted to look for a master who was proficient in the refinement of puppets to learn from him but had always failed to find one. Today, he finally saw a sliver of hope. "Dao Friend Mo, do you want to trade? All I need from you is one word," Condor Hen started to become anxious. "Trade!" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he pushed Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring towards Condor Hen and grabbed Condor Hen¡¯s storage ring before sending it into his own Undying World. Condor Hen remained emotionless and was in fact, slightly solemn and respectful. In his heart, he was jumping with joy and the instance he got Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring, his spiritual will opened up the restrictions without hesitation. EVeryone knew that Condor Hen was removing the restrictions so nobody dared to disrupt him but a Class 9 immortal beast actually stood up to say, "I have a peak grade physique tempering technique and I am interested in exchanging for a good flying immortal equipment." This time round, there were indeed interested parties in this physique tempering technique. Even though the few Great Grand Emperors didn¡¯t bid, those of lower status than them were bidding for it crazily. However, at a moment like this, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about it anymore. He was entirely focused on the golden jade letter itself. Concurrently, Condor Hen didn¡¯t bother about it as his focus was on opening Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring. Mo Wuji only took a few breaths worth of time to open Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring but Condor Hen actually took over a few minutes and could barely used his spiritual will to open Bao Bu¡¯s restrictions. The first thing Condor Hen saw in Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring was the array flag and that was when he heaved a huge sigh of relief. Next, he kept the storage ring and actually didn¡¯t do anything else. The remaining Great Grand Emperors were relieved as they noticed Condor Hen¡¯s lack of action. This indicated that the item was in their hands. Mo Wuji predicted that Condor Hen should be done with opening Bao Bu¡¯s storage ring so he stood up to say, "It ain¡¯t early now and I doubt these trade will not end anytime soon so why don¡¯t we discuss about the division of the Black Spatial Fruit before everyone else comes back to trade again? I think I need to head back to rest soon as well because I have yet to have proper rest ever since I¡¯ve came back from the Oblique Sea." Xue Lu stood up and said, "I agree with Dao Friend Mo¡¯s suggestion because the Black Spatial Fruit is indeed of slightly more importance. After all, the defensive array outside the Oblique Sea would be opened after a few more days." The other Great Grand Emperors stood up and Red Eyes Turtle nodded before saying, "Since this is the case, let¡¯s go look at the Black Spatial Fruits first." Chapter 806: Falling Out Chapter 806: Falling Out Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as Mo Wuji walked over to the entrance of the hall, he stopped abruptly to ask, "How many layers does the Black Spatial Fruit Tree here have?" Mo Wuji was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor and despite not seeing a Black Spatial Fruit before, Mo Wuji was pretty knowledgeable when it came to the characteristics of the various fruits and fruit trees. The Black Spatial Fruit Tree had a few layers and the higher the grade of the tree, the more layers it would possess. Take for example a Black Spatial Fruit Tree with three layers. Once the all the Black Spatial Fruits on the first layer had been harvested, this first layer would start growing out new Black Spatial Fruits. However, in terms of age, this new first layer of fruits would be much younger than the fruits grown on the second layer. Mo Wuji guessed that because of the frequent ventures out of the Oblique Sea Island, there should be a significant number of layers grown on this tree. Even so, they would most likely always pick from only the first layer. Concurrently, Mo Wuji guessed that the age of the Black Spatial Fruits shouldn¡¯t be too old because with their system of taking turns to pick, the fruits would only be considered average regardless of how many layers it had. An average Black Spatial Fruit would require at least 3000 years to form some traces of the Laws of Space while the better ones were all above 100,000 years old. Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be requesting for such old and good Black Spatial Fruits as he simply wished to obtain some 3000-5000 years old ones. This was because the Black Spatial Fruit had another important use and that was to concoct the Black Spatial Pill. This Black Spatial Pill also allowed one to enlighten the Laws of Space and was in fact, worth slightly more than the fruit itself. Mo Wuji already had his own enlightenment towards the Laws of Space but his Ping Fan would require a large amount of Black Spatial Pills. Wu He hurried to reveal a pleasing smile before saying, "Dao Friend Mo would definitely not be disappointed because the Black Spatial Fruit Tree here at the Oblique Space Sea Island has 10 layers and we will only harvest one layer every 500 years¡­" "What? 10 layers?" Mo Wuji stared shockingly at Wu He because he knew that once a Black Spatial Fruit Tree grew to 10 layers, it could be considered as a peak grade tree already. Such a tree would only grow a layer every few millions of years and any changes in between the years would cause instant death of the tree. 10 layers¡­ That would require almost tens of millions of years before growing to that form. Without mentioning about the fruits, even this tree alone would be a priceless treasure. Red Eyes Turtle added, "It is indeed true that the Black Spatial Fruit Tree on our Oblique Space Sea Island had 10 layers. Moreover, ever since we found this tree, each of us only took one Black Spatial Fruit each from the 10th layer and after that, none of us touched it anymore. Everytime we head out, we would take turns to harvest from the 1st layer to the 9th layer." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was in mad glee because if he really obtained a ten million years old Black Spatial Fruit, his understanding towards the space would certainly increase to yet another level. Once that happened, his spatial sacred art would also improve yet again. "Where is that Black Spatial Fruit Tree located at?" Mo Wuji was slightly impatient presently. "It is right in the center of the Oblique Space Sea City," The one speaking this time around was Great Grand Emperor Sen Lan as he spoke with a disdainful tone. He couldn¡¯t believe Mo Wuji would actually dare to covet for the ten million years old Black Spatial Fruit which even they couldn¡¯t bear to touch. "Alright," Mo Wuji only answered with one word before increasing his speed. "Attack!" Just at that very instance Mo Wuji stepped out of the hall, Condor Hen threw out two array flags before shouting. In fact, even without Condor Hen¡¯s shouting, everyone else who walked out had already thrown out their array flags. This included the seven Great Grand Emperors and Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had his void array runes carved out within this grand deathtrap array but he would still need his own array flags to coordinate the use of the array runes. Without the use of his array flags, his array runes would only have the form but not the spirit. "Boom boom boom!" Explosions could be heard as the entire Oblique Space Sea City turned gloomy as lightning radiance started forming in the air and a terrifying killing intent condensed in the city. At this moment, every cultivator in the city stopped their own actions instantly as everyone here knew clearly that the grand deathtrap array had been activated. Every cultivator here was in extreme shock because under such deathtrap array, all they could do was to stay at their own spot before drawing out their defensive treasures to block against the lightning bolts and killing intent which was about to be released from the deathtrap array. "Kacha! Ka ka ka ka!" Lightning bolts fell and the deathtrap array, which had never been activated throughout the countless of years, was finally activated and all the buildings and architectures here were met with great calamity. Multiple lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji¡¯s body but there was not a single response from Mo Wuji as he continued to throw out his own array flags. There were his own array runes within Bao Bu¡¯s array flag so when the eight array flags landed, the deathtrap array of the city was activated and after Mo Wuji threw out his own array flags, he could sense clearly every corner of the space in which the deathtrap array was divided into. The deathtrap array of the Oblique Space Sea City was originally a Grade 9 array but now that it combined the attack from the lightning soul stone wall, this deathtrap array actually became weaker. This was mainly because of the low standard of the lightning soul stone wall. Once the standard of the deathtrap array was lowered, there would be an increasing amount of lightning energy. The average cultivators, who were afraid of lightning, would be attacked by the endless amount of lightning bolts and once faced with the encirclement of experts, it was true that they would fall very soon. Mo Wuji was not the average kind of cultivators because he was not only a Grade 8 array master, he was also not afraid of lightning bolts at all. "Surround and attack that man¡­" Once the explosive lightning bolts fell on Mo Wuji, Condor Hen could sense Mo Wuji¡¯s position and didn¡¯t hesitate as he drew out his own magic treasure to charge towards Mo Wuji. Condor Hen was certain that once he started attacking, the other six Great Grand Emperors would follow suit. Under such a deathtrap array, all six of them could see Mo Wuji clearly but Mo Wuji would be unable to extend his spiritual will at all. Moreover, not only did Mo Wuji need to endure the lightning bolts and blade radiance from the lightning soul stone wall and deathtrap array, he would have to suffer the combined attacks of the seven Great Grand Emperors. He believed that today would be Mo Wuji¡¯s doomsday even if Mo Wuji was truly beyond talented. A sky overwhelmed with blade radiance and compacted lightning bolts continued to form up as Condor Hen revealed a slight smirk. The killing energy and intent of his Eight Cloud Rope had finally reached a maximum. It was only soon after that Condor Hen noticed something was amiss. The blade radiance and lightning bolts were actually charging towards him and not Mo Wuji. Additionally, he didn¡¯t see anyone else attacking Mo Wuji together with him. Despite losing an arm to Mo Wuji earlier on, Condor Hen was not an idiot. If he still wasn¡¯t certain that Mo Wuji was actually a peak grade array master and had meddled with the array flags, he could just kill himself now. A devastating Winding River was already landing and a feeling of despair grew in Condor Hen¡¯s heart. He didn¡¯t bother pleading for his life because he was well aware that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t bother listening to his plea. Condor Hen used up all his remaining energy in his one last attack as not only did he not withdraw his Eight Cloud Rope, he didn¡¯t even bother trying to dodge Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River. Even if he were to die today, he wouldn¡¯t let Mo Wuji walk away completely unharmed. Enormous killing intent swept towards Mo Wuji as a sensing of danger crept into his heart. There was also a slight change in Mo Wuji¡¯s expression because he never expected Condor Hen to be this fierce and resolute. He was actually willing to exchange his life for Mo Wuji¡¯s head after finding out that Mo Wuji had control over the deathtrap array. At this moment, all of Condor Hen¡¯s killing intent had swept towards Mo Wuji and had also locked onto the space around him. Mo Wuji was clear that as long as he didn¡¯t wish to risk his life, he could break free of Condor Hen¡¯s locked space and would certainly decrease the severity of attack from his Winding River. That would mean that Condor Hen would hold the upper hand and even his Winding River would at most injure him and not kill him. However, even if Mo Wuji were to be injured, he wouldn¡¯t retract his own weighted halberd. He was an expert with a Gods Level 7 Physique and with the aid of the elemental storage channel, he would definitely risk his life to make sure that Condor Hen wouldn¡¯t walk out of here alive.More importantly, Mo Wuji was clear that he only had the slightest of control over the deathtrap array here. A while later, once the other Great Grand Emperors realised this and broke free of his control over the deathtrap array, killing Condor Hen would be tough. This was why he needed to kill Condor Hen swiftly "Boom!" The Eight Cloud Rope instantly ripped Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain apart as it crashed into Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji could feel the cracking of his ribcage as a deep blood scar exploded near Mo Wuji¡¯s waist. "Ai!" At the same time, Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River crashed explosively into Condor Hen and a blood fog appeared at the bottom of the river. Condor Hen shut his eyes in despair but if he could still speak, he would want to shout with all his might: ¡®Mo Wuji is not that strong, we have been frightened by him.¡¯ Just as the Winding River was tearing his fleshly body apart, Condor Hen could sense clearly that Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was not till the extent that he could deal with the combined attack of all Eight Great Grand Emperors. Their first move was already a mistake as they shouldn¡¯t have made use of the deathtrap array to deal with Mo Wuji. They should have attacked Mo Wuji together at the hall and even if they weren¡¯t able to kill off Mo Wuji then, they would have gained the upper hand in the fight. Presently, they had made the wrong move over and over again. First, they allowed Mo Wuji to kill Bao Bu and then kill Condor Hen. As long as Mo Wuji carried on to kill another two more, this Oblique Space Sea Island would definitely not be able to contain Mo Wuji anymore. Mo Wuji swallowed a Tier 9 healing pill as his vitality channel started to circulate rapidly while picking up Condor Hen¡¯s storage ring. Even though Mo Wuji had yet to recover fully, he continued to throw out multiple array flags before throwing out a fist. Mo Wuji¡¯s target this time around was the Gods Race¡¯s Sen Lan because Mo Wuji had wanted to kill this fella for a long time coming. He was well aware that his control over the deathtrap array would only last for maybe ten more breaths before being blast opened. Just as the lightning bolts from the deathtrap array was landing on himself, Sen Lan knew that he and his fella Great Grand Emperors had been plotted against by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was a peak grade array master and Mo Wuji knew clearly their purpose of bringing out the array plate. In his heart, Mo Wuji was simply too mighty and now that he knew that Mo Wuji could control the deathtrap array, his first instinct was to break free and leave before anything else. Just as he opened up an array gate, all the space around him had been locked onto by a killing intent. Sen Lan had experienced Mo Wuji¡¯s fist sacred art which broke off Condor Hen¡¯s arm and this flaming killing intent was now locked onto the space around him. How could he not know that Mo Wuji was targeting him now? An ebony staff turned into a pitched black space as Sen Lan shouted, "Dao Friend Mo, I have nothing to do with this matter and I am willing to compensate. Everything is initiated by Condor Hen¡­" "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s fist merely ripped Sen Lan¡¯s defensive space and didn¡¯t manage to crush Sen Lan himself. Mo Wuji knew that things were not going as expected and while he wanted to execute his Remnant Chasm sacred art, he changed it by throwing out a finger. To kill Sen Lan in the shortest possible time, he had to use the most decisive of methods. Sen Lan was also shocked at how Mo Wuji¡¯s fist was actually much weaker than before. Chapter 807: Killing Sen Lan Chapter 807: Killing Sen Lan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Split second later, Sen Lan came to her senses. Previously, Mo Wuji¡¯s finger which crushed Bao Bu was simply too frightening but the truth was that even though Mo Wuji was stronger than them, it wasn¡¯t to the extent where he could crush every one of them easily. Sen Lan really wanted to shout to warn the others but he had lost his chance to do so at the sight of Mo Wuji¡¯s same finger. The only difference was that previously, that finger was towards Bao Bu and now, the finger was charging towards him. There seemed to be an instant change between Heaven and Earth as boundless energy surged over making Sen Lan feel suffocated and tiny. At this instance, the laws around him started changing and everything seemed to have transformed until it was no longer related to Sen Lan himself. Sen Lan suddenly felt like a small ant in a massive world. If the space was a swamp, he would a negligible any struggling in the swamp. The space started tearing apart, time started to turn sluggish and everything else started to collapse. Even though the energy of death and destruction from Mo Wuji¡¯s finger had yet to land on him, Sen Lan knew that that was something could happen at the very next moment. "No!" Sen Lan cried out from the bottom of his heart as he started burning his blood essence rapidly in a resolute attempt to break free from this finger. Once he broke free of this finger, he would be able to shout out to the others to tell them that they didn¡¯t even need to make use of deathtrap array to deal with Mo Wuji. All they needed to do was to combine forces to fight him head on and even if they were unable to kill him, they wouldn¡¯t be restrained by him too¡­ By burning his blood essence, Sen Lan suddenly felt the easing of the space around him. Traces of excitement flashed across his eyes as he seemed to have broken free from the deathly World of Man. At a moment like this, even his breathing became much smoother. "Everyone doesn¡¯t need to be afraid of him, he only has that one¡­" Sen Lan started shouting desperately as he regretted lowering his aura from the very beginning. If he wasn''t that fearful of Mo Wuji from the start, he wouldn¡¯t have ended up in this situation even if he didn¡¯t underestimate Mo Wuji. As he was shouting his lungs out, Sen Lan¡¯s ebony staff had already brought along every bit of his remaining immortal energy before charging towards Mo Wuji. When he broke free from Mo Wuji¡¯s finger, he could sense that Mo Wuji had yet to recover fully from the previous battle. Therefore, he was convinced that he could use his staff to injure Mo Wuji severely. Sen Lan¡¯s words were suddenly disrupted as traces of extreme fear appeared in his eyes. An expression of disbelief was revealed on his face as he saw Mo Wuji tracing out a Yin Ying imprint mark¡­ A type of deathly energy shrouded him as this was definitely different from the finger earlier on. He had experienced the finger twice as one was for Bao Bu while the other time was the one he broke free off. That finger was suffocating and vast while this one had a deathly energy which was growing exponentially. It was locking onto Sen Lan¡¯s life force much more rapidly than that finger. No, it should be said that his life force was being swallowed at an immense rate and every time one breath of his life force was swallowed, that deathly energy that locked onto him grew denser. Sen Lan found a trace of life force within this deathly energy but that trace was not in his space. Only by sending himself into the area of deathly energy would he be able to grab hat trace of life force. It was at this moment that Sen Lan finally understood how Mo Wuji had never intended to kill him using that finger sacred art. What he thought was the finger sacred art was simply an energy Mo Wuji stimulated and only because Sen Lan had witnessed the finger that killed Bao Bu before which was why he was that fearful of it. Because of this, the instance he broke free of that finger, he felt elated and couldn¡¯t wait to launch his counterattack on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s main intention to kill Sen Lan with this Wheel of Death Imprint. He could still see the seals Mo Wuji was striking out with his hands as he blasted out marks of this Wheel of Death Imprint¡­ The ebony staff swept up a pitch black space which locked onto Mo Wuji. Within that pitch black space, there were countless of pitch black radiance lacerating Mo Wuji¡¯s domain as it exploded towards Mo Wuji¡¯s Dantian and heart. Mo Wuji¡¯s face was slightly pale. He was unwilling to reconcile to this because he knew that if he didn¡¯t block off that ebony staff¡¯s energy, his Wheel of Life and Death would be left with a scar. Once that happened, Sen Lan could escape with his life intact and it would be tough for him to kill Sen Lan again. Could it be that he had to risk his life again just like he did with Condor Hen? If he had to do this every time he fought, Mo Wuji¡¯s injuries would worsen by the minute. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because he was still not strong enough. If he was sufficiently strong, he would be able to block off Sen Lan¡¯s attack directly. I must not suffer another heavy injury, Mo Wuji thought to himself as he used the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to sweep up a Spiritual Will Arrow. He didn¡¯t dare to touch the spiritual will from his sea of consciousness because the Spiritual Will Arrow formed from that would be too terrifying. In fact, it would result in him being in a state of weakness after that. The Spiritual Will Arrow from his spirit storage channel wasn¡¯t meant for attacking Sen Lan directly but to explode against the spiritual will energy which Sen Lan used to control the ebony staff. "Boom!" The clash of spiritual will caused an explosion and Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. Waves of emptiness started to spreading from his spirit storage channel. Bang! Concurrently, his Wheel of Life and Death swept away all the life force from Sen Lan. In the same instance Sen Lan fell to the ground, the ebony staff landed on Mo Wuji and several blood scars were formed. Mo Wuji raised his hand to retrieve Sen Lan¡¯s storage ring before swallowing several healing pills. He was inwardly ecstatic because even though his Spiritual Will Arrow didn¡¯t block off the entire killing intent from the ebony staff, it weakened the attack on him. If one day his Spiritual Will Arrow sacred art of his spirit storage channel grew even stronger or immediately formed the Spiritual Will Arrow Net sacred art, he would be able to trap every attack against him using the arrow net. In this way, he could finish off experts of the same stage as him easily. Just like when he killed off Condor Hen, he wouldn¡¯t have been injured if he had his Spiritual Will Arrow Net to lock onto and block off Condor Hen¡¯s attack. The lightning bolts of the deathtrap array had disappeared along with the killing intent. Mo Wuji knew that Red Eyes Turtle and four others must have released the deathtrap array, which he had temporary control over. They must have realised that he was an immortal array master which was why they kept the array flags belonging to them. The entire Oblique Space Sea City was a mess as countless of cultivators had been killed by the deathtrap array. "Brother Mo, you¡¯re okay," A slightly exhausted Ape Mo cried out in joy as he saw that Mo Wuji was fine. Following which, he noticed the corpse of Condor Hen and Sen Lan. Ape Mo wasn¡¯t the only one as the other five Great Grand Emperors had also noticed the corpses of Condor Hen and Sen Lan lying on the floor. Mo Wuji was standing right next to Sen Lan¡¯s corpse which clearly showed that Sen Lan was just killed by him. "Brother Mo¡­" Red Eyes Turtle¡¯s eyes retracted from Sen Lan¡¯s corpse as his throat started to dry up. Mo Wuji raised his hand to throw out two balls of flame to burn Condor Hen and Sen Lan¡¯s corpse into ashes before saying coldly, "The few of you activated the deathtrap array of the Oblique Space Sea City to kill me? Since this is the case, don¡¯t blame me for turning nasty. The few of you can leave now but as long as you¡¯re still on the island, I will personally visit each and every one of you." Once he said that Mo Wuji grabbed out an array flag to start installing arrays. Red Eyes Turtle hurried forward to clasp his fist and said, "Brother Mo please slow down, this matter really had nothing to do with us. Previously, Condor Hen and Sen Lan wanted to activate the deathtrap array and you should know that Condor Hen transmitted the message to inform me of his decision to activate the deathtrap array. If I don¡¯t agree, my small Black Tortoise Mountain would disappear from the Oblique Space Sea Island once Brother Mo leaves this place. After all, Brother Mo will not be staying on this island in the long run while we still needed a place to stay here." "Yes indeed, yes¡­" The other four Great Grand Emperors stood out one after the other in agreement of Red Eyes Turtle¡¯s words. The few of them thought to themselves that if they didn¡¯t release the deathtrap array in time, the one trapped would not be Mo Wuji but the few of them. Wu He was trembling in cold sweat because he knew that if the five of them delayed the releasing of the deathtrap array for any longer, the next person to be killed would be himself. The truth was that Wu He¡¯s guess was not wrong because Mo Wuji¡¯s plan was to kill Condor Hen, Sen Lan then Wu He and then the others. After killing off Bao Bu, Condor Hen and Sen Lan, Mo Wuji was well aware that he was still not strong enough. Perhaps he would be strong enough to crush these fellas easily when he reached the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage but now was certainly not the time to do so. Whether it was Condor Hen or Sen Lan, Mo Wuji had to pay a little price for it. "Haha!" Mo Wuji laughed out loud but his face was still cold as ice with not even the slightest of smile. There was only an absolute aura that was constantly on the rise, "So according to the words of Great Grand Emperor Red Eyes, it should be right that I was assassinated? It should be right that I was plotted against by everyone using the deathtrap array and then suffer severe injuries?" The five Great Grand Emperors were all completely helpless because did Mo Wuji look severely injured? He appeared to be in better shape than anyone else but nobody dared to say anything because even if the five of them were to join up to attack Mo Wuji, they wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to him. Once Mo Wuji managed to eliminate one of two of them, they could expunge their own title as the Eight Great Grand Emperors. "Brother Mo, I¡¯ve just received the truth of the previous incident. It turns out that the grey centipede was the one who obstructed Brother Mo which was why Brother Mo would be infuriated. Since this is the truth, how could I still accept Brother Mo¡¯s storage ring," Wu He could no longer bother about his pride as he hurried to apologise to Mo Wuji and even returned the storage ring. Mo Wuji shook his hand and said in an equally serious tone, "Regardless the reason, I was wrong too and because this is such a fair and just place, I should compensate since I am in the wrong. By returning the storage ring to me, isn¡¯t that equivalent to Dao Friend Wu slapping my face?" Mo Wuji would naturally not want the storage ring back because why would he need a storage ring filled with a few useless stones from the Cultivation World? Wu He was shocked because and was still feeling uneasy. Because Mo Wuji refused to take back his storage ring, Wu He suspected that Mo Wuji would still act against him. Just when Wu He was feeling uneasy, Mo Wuji suddenly asked, "I¡¯ve heard that this place produces lightning soul stones so if Dao Friend Wu feels bad, perhaps you could give me some of the lightning soul stones." "This is not a problem as I have some," Wu He didn¡¯t hesitate as he brought out a storage ring and handed Mo Wuji all the lightning soul stones in the storage ring. The lightning soul stones might be a peak grade treasure in a place like this but it was nothing but rubbish on this island. "I didn¡¯t know that Brother Mo needed such items as I, Red Eyes, have some of these too," Red Eyes Turtle also took out a storage ring for Mo Wuji. The remaining of them followed suit as everyone handed Mo Wuji storage rings filled with lightning soul stones. Chapter 808: Peak Grade Black Spatial Fruit Chapter 808: Peak Grade Black Spatial Fruit Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji kept these storage rings without any hesitation before clasping his fists and said, "We shall let bygones be bygones and now that the main culprit has been executed, why don¡¯t we go take a look at the Black Spatial Fruits?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the five Great Grand Emperor were overjoyed. Mo Wuji¡¯s words meant that he would no longer pursue on this matter and as for the Black Spatial Fruits, they would simply have to give Mo Wuji a few. This was inevitable but they still hoped that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t ask for too many ruthlessly. "Brother Mo, I shall not head over then," Ape Mo hurried to say. The Black Spatial Fruits on the Oblique Space Sea Island were all controlled by the Eight Great Grand Emperors and even though Ape Mo had advanced to become a Class 10 demonic beast, he was still not considered one of the Great Grand Emperor. He came here only because he hoped to receive a Black Spatial Fruit as a reward for his advancement into the Class 10. "Brother Ape, you would naturally have to come along. In the future, there will be seven Great Grand Emperors, you and Brother Mo¡­" Before Red Eyes Turtle could finish his sentence, Mo Wuji interjected, "Dao Friend Red Eyes, after leaving the Oblique Sea City this time around, I would be leaving the island so the five of you plus Ape Mo shall be the Six Great Grand Emperors. There is no need to include me." Ape Mo hurried to say, "Brother Mo, we have some familiarity at first sight and after staying here on the island for over a few million years, I am already sick of this place. If Brother Mo doesn¡¯t mind, I would like to follow Brother Mo out." The truth was that even without the Mo Wuji incident, Ape Mo was already intending to leave this island. He had advanced into a Class 10 beast and would be of no use even if he continued staying here on the island. Moreover, with the Eight Great Grand Emperors controlling everything on this island, Ape Mo wouldn¡¯t enjoy as much freedom as he would outside of this island. Mo Wuji laughed as he said, "This would be great! I have a school in the Immortal World and since Brother Ape is bored of staying here, follow me back to my school then." "This shall be it then," Ape Mo replied promptly. "Congratulations to Brother Ape for breaking away from the Oblique Sea Island. Brother Red Eyes, we should hurry take a look at the Black Spatial Fruit," Xue Lu chuckled because Ape Mo¡¯s departure would not affect them at all. Moreover, it would even reduce the fight for resources here on the island. ¡­ Black Spatial Fruit was indeed in the centre of the Oblique Sea City and just as Mo Wuji approached the centre, he could already sense the dense immortal energy. In the Oblique Space Sea City, the area closer to the periphery of the Black Spatial Fruit Tree was not allowed to have any buildings. There were all sorts of restriction arrays there and anytime someone approached it, they would be trapped and killed by the array. Unless it was time for the natural defensive array to be opened, no one was allowed to open up the restriction array here. Presently, due to the upcoming opening of the natural defensive array of the island, the restriction array around the Black Spatial Fruit Tree was released. Entering the restriction array of the Black Spatial Fruit Tree would require an array flag which the Eight Great Grand Emperors would take turn to control. Every one of the Eight Great Grand Emperors would be able to sense it wherever and whenever someone tried to approach the array. The person holding on to the array flag this time around was Peng Fei¡¯Er, who barely spoke and looked extremely delicate. Mo Wuji felt that this person was the hardest to see through including this person¡¯s cultivation level as well as race. "Since I am in charge of the array flag this time around, let me open up the restriction then," Peng Fei¡¯Er took the initiative to step out before throwing out an array flag. The array flag swept up a faint and weak white light as it entered the restriction array in front of them. The originally blurry restriction array let out a ¡®Ka ka¡¯ sound which followed by the gradual opening of the restriction array and the surging of the dense immortal energy. Even Mo Wuji, who had been used to cultivating within dense immortal energy, could feel that extreme immortal energy surging towards him. In front of Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes was indeed a massive tree which was about several metres long. This massive tree was right in front of them yet it gave them a feeling of endless void. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan through it and confirmed that it truly had 10 layers. The tree was full of either green or grey Black Spatial Fruit and the highest layer had six transparent Black Spatial Fruits. A mysterious spatial energy exuded from that six transparent Black Spatial Fruits and Mo Wuji was incredibly excited about it. This was indeed a ten million years old Black Spatial Fruit which value was uncomparable. Besides the transparent Black Spatial Fruit on the top layer of the tree, Mo Wuji noticed the dark grey Black Spatial Fruit which was on the third layer from the top. Mo Wuji knew that this should be the Black Spatial Fruits which was about to be picked and harvested. When a Black Spatial Fruit started growing, its colour would be green and as time passed by, the colour would fade to become faint green. From faint green, it would continue fading to become dark grey, grey, white, faint white and eventually transparent, which was the hardest to achieve. Red Eyes Turtle chuckled and said, "Brother Mo, we will be harvesting the Black Spatial Fruits on the third layers and if Brother Mo wishes, you could pick a few and leave with it. The Black Spatial Fruits on the first layer were all 4000-5000 years old which contained clear energy of the Laws of Space." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "I am in fact not in need of the third layer¡¯s Black Spatial Fruits so I would actually only need one of it. The Black Spatial Fruits on the highest layer are actually of important use to me so I wonder if I am able to pick a few of it?" Mo Wuji¡¯s words made the remaining Great Grand Emperor¡¯s mouth cramped up. There were only six of the top layer Black Spatial Fruits and if Mo Wuji wanted to pick a few of it, what would happen to the entire Oblique Space Sea Island? "Aiya!" Mo Wuji suddenly held onto his waist as he seemed to be some sort of pain. "Brother Mo, what happened?" Ape Mo hurried to ask. MO Wuji said with a low voice, "I believe the deathtrap array from earlier on hurt my muscles and bone and there are still some pain now. I wonder if there would be any repercussions in the future. This place is truly dangerous so I might need to stay here for my recovery for a period of time." Red Eyes Turtle didn¡¯t wait for Mo Wuji to continue speaking as he said, "Brother Mo, there are six Black Spatial Fruits which are over a few thousand years old. If Brother Mo doesn¡¯t mind, you can pick two. After all, this tree is the symbol for our Oblique Space Sea City. If we were to pick too many for you, we might not be able to answer to the people of the Oblique Space Sea Island." Even though he was speaking, Red Eyes Turtle was actually feeling extremely speechless. He, Mo Wuji, would actually feel pain in his waist? "Ai, my waist seems to feel better now," Mo Wuji muttered to himself before appearing to have heard Red Eyes Turtle¡¯s words as he clasped his fists and said, "Many thanks Great Grand Emperor Red Eyes and the other Great Grand Emperors for your generosity. If the few Great Grand Emperors visit the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos in the future, I, Mo Wuji, would definitely welcome you ceremoniously." Mo Wuji already knew that he would at most be able to take away two of these transparent Black Spatial Fruit and in fact, he would be happy even if he had only managed to get one. Now that the Red Eyes Turtle had immediately offered him two of the fruits, why would he not be satisfied? As for the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, Mo Wuji had already intended to sweep the entire Gods Race away once he returned. Given his strength now, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to maintain a foothold in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Mo Wuji certainly didn¡¯t mind offering such casual favour to these Great Grand Emperors. "Many thanks Brother Mo then and please go ahead to pick your Black Spatial Fruits," The few Great Grand Emperors hurried to clasp their fists. It was certain that Mo Wuji was going to take away the Black Spatial Fruits. Why would they not be satisfied if Mo Wuji was only going to bring away only two thousand years Black Spatial Fruits? Mo Wuji was not going to stand on any ceremony as his body flashed and had already darted up the tree. Two Black Spatial Fruits were instantly cut off using his spiritual will and kept into two jade boxes. After Mo Wuji landed back on the ground, Red Eyes Turtle initiated to pack another two more Black Spatial Fruits from the third layer into two jade boxes as he presented in to Mo Wuji and Ape Mo respectively. He was afraid that Mo Wuji might come up with any more funny ideas to taunt them and for Ape Mo, he was originally going to receive one anyway. To leave the Oblique Space Sea Island, it didn¡¯t mean that one person had to have one Black Spatial Fruit each to leave. Usually, two Black Spatial Fruits would be responsible to bring five people out and back into the island. The person holding the Black Spatial Fruit would walk in front while everyone else followed closely behind. On their return trip, they simply had to do the same thing. Mo Wuji had obtained several benefits and he knew that prolonging his stay here would cause others to hate him. He casually clasp his fists as he said, "Fellow Dao Friends, you can continue dividing your Black Spatial Fruits and I shall not disturb everyone else. Ape Mo and I shall take our leave first." Upon hearing this, the few Great Grand Emperors of the Oblique Space Sea Island finally heaved a sigh of relief as they finally managed to send this lord away. "Brother Ape, where is the position of the exit of this natural defensive array?" The instance they left the Black Spatial Fruit Tree, Mo Wuji questioned. Ape Mo explained, "We would need to be on a transfer array from the Oblique Sea City which would transfer us directly to the entrance of the natural array." "Let¡¯s head there now unless Brother Ape has anything else to do?" The Oblique Space Sea City had became a mess after the destruction caused by the deathtrap array which was why Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t feel like prolonging his stay any further. Ape Mo replied, "I have nothing else as I have already sent a message out. Once I¡¯ve cultivated to this point, there is no longer a point for me to stay here on this island." ¡­ Perhaps it was because of Red Eyes Turtle and the other Great Grand Emperors¡¯ repeated warning, Mo Wuji was transferred out the moment he reached the transfer array even without the need for him to pay any immortal crystals. Once he exited from the transfer array, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was instantly blocked. There seemed to be a layer of formless barrier in which his spiritual will and sight were unable to pass through. "Brother Mo, spiritual will would not work through here because this is natural peak grade defensive array which nobody would be able to break apart," As if he knew Mo Wuji had used his spiritual will to check, Ape Mo explained. Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked because he was certain that even if his array dao standard had reached Grade 9, he might not be able to open up this defensive array too. He condensed his spiritual eye and a blurry silhouette appeared in front of his eye. As he used his spiritual eye to further look into it, his head started to feel dizzy. Mo Wuji hurried to withdraw his spiritual eye and was incomparably shocked. After advancing into the Immortal Emperor Stage, the grade of his spiritual eye was also very high. Even so, he was still unable to look through and find out any tiny clue about this defensive array. "Brother Ape, I want to go behind closed doors for two days. Once this defensive array is open, call me immediately," There was still about two days time before the opening of the natural defensive array and Mo Wuji wanted to make use of these two days to analyse the puppet creation jade letter. "Brother Mo, go ahead and I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s time," Ape Mo had always been thankful for Mo Wuji because if it wasn¡¯t for Mo Wuji who gave him the Transformation Dao Fruit, he would have never been able to step into the ranks of the Class 10 demonic beasts in such a short period of time. Chapter 809: Cosmos Edge Wants Mo Wujis Arrest Chapter 809: Cosmos Edge Wants Mo Wuji''s Arrest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will into this puppet creation jade letter, he knew that he had obtained a treasure. It was unknown who left this jade letter behind. If it was an average smith, or even an ordinary Smith Emperor that saw this jade letter, they would definitely find it hard to understand and accept. This was because the smithing methods described in this jade letter contained dao will. This means even if a person learns the smithing methods within this jade letter, he still wouldn''t be able to infuse the dao will within the methods. However, Mo Wuji did not feel the same. He believed that it''s because this jade letter had high requirements; one had to be a Grade 9 Smith Emperor at the very least. It just so happened that he was a Grade 9 Smith Emperor. The creation of an immortal puppet was extremely complex. As he read through this jade letter, Mo Wuji felt that he was standing in front of an unopened gate of smithing. He believed that if he could push through this gate, his smithing standards would experience a huge qualitative leap. Unfortunately, two days was truly too short. Just as Mo Wuji immersed himself into his study, Ape Mo''s message came. The natural arrays of Oblique Space Sea Island had opened; it was possible to leave now. Mo Wuji could only keep the jade letter. When he walked out, he saw that the Five Great Grand Emperors were present. Seeing Mo Wuji emerge, these Grand Emperors all came to greet him. A passage appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji could not use his spiritual will to scan this passage, he could tell that this passage was relatively chaotic space. "Brother Mo, you''re the guest. You can go first." Red Eyes Turtle grinned and gestured with his hand. It was true that Mo Wuji had disgraced the Eight Great Grand Emperors. However, after Mo Wuji''s leaves, the power dynamics in Oblique Space Sea Island would change. It could be said that the five of them would earn much more them before. After all, they didn''t really lose much to Mo Wuji; they only lost some lightning soul stones. "Many thanks, Brother Red Eyes. Many thanks, Grand Emperors. Since this is the case, then I won''t be too polite." Mo Wuji wanted to leave as soon as possible. When he was at Cosmos Edge previously, he was completely unable to investigate anything. Now that he was going to return back to Cosmos Edge, he was definitely going to investigate on Shuyin''s whereabouts. Honestly, Mo Wuji did not hope for Shuyin to be in Cosmos Edge. He only hoped that Shuyin was safe; Cosmos Edge was truly too chaotic and complex. "Brother Ape, follow behind me." With that, Mo Wuji walked into that spatial array gate. Ape Mo hurriedly followed suit. At the same time, he transmitted, "Brother Mo, there are large amounts of spatial blades within this array gate; there are even several spatial tears. You can only sense these spatial irregularities if you consume the Black Spatial Fruit." Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "There''s no need to worry. I will definitely be able to get through it." Mo Wuji had already learnt about the Laws of Space back when he was in the cultivation world. That book, The Brief Theory of Space, had been especially helpful to him. The Spatial Imprisonment he learnt from it was even able to imprison Grand Emperors. His understanding towards the Laws of Space was definitely more effective than a 10,000-year-old Black Spatial Fruit. Ape Mo was very clear of Mo Wuji''s strength. Even when he was within the Oblique Sea City¡¯s killing array, Mo Wuji was still able to slaughter two Grand Emperors. It was not strange that he was so confident that he could get through this spatial array gate. The moment Mo Wuji stepped into the array gate, he could feel the ripples caused by the spatial blades. It was just as he expected; this spatial array gate wasn''t a killing array in nature, but a protective one. Within this array, Mo Wuji could clearly sense the spatial blades, as well as other spatial irregularities. Ape Mo followed behind Mo Wuji. Shock continued to grow within his heart. He discovered that Mo Wuji''s understanding towards this space was much stronger than any Grand Emperor of the Oblique Space Sea Island. Even consuming a 10,000-year-old Black Spatial Fruit couldn''t help achieve the speed that Mo Wuji was currently going at. In merely an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji felt a sensation of extreme lightness. He knew that he had already left the Oblique Space Sea Island. "Brother Mo¡¯s understanding towards the Laws of Space is staggering. This is the fastest I took to leave the array." Ape Mo, who was following behind Mo Wuji, sighed in praise. Mo Wuji chuckled, "I¡¯m indeed slightly knowledgeable towards the Laws of Space. Wait¡­" After saying that, Mo Wuji handed a jade letter over to Ape Mo, "Ape Mo, this is some of my insights towards the Laws of Space. From now on, you can call me directly by my name. Ape Mo was indeed a person worth befriending. Back in Oblique Sea City when Mo Wuji was oppressed by many powers, Ape Mo didn¡¯t strike him when he was down. From that, Mo Wuji knew that Ape Mo was a principled person. "Thank you, thank you¡­" Ape Mo emotionally accepted the jade letter with both his hands. He was clearer than anyone else about the value of this jade letter. This jade letter contained insights towards the Laws of Space. If he could gain some control and understanding towards the Laws of Space, his power would definitely rise by another level. Such a precious item could not be bought anywhere else in the world. Mo Wuji retrieved a flying treasure and patted Ape Mo¡¯s shoulders, "I will need to go into seclusion for a period of time. Help control this ship towards Cosmos Edge." "It will require at least three months to get to Cosmos Edge. Wuji, you can rest assured and enter your seclusion." Ape Mo suppressed his elation as he replied Mo Wuji resolutely. ¡­ With Ape Mo controlling the flying ship, Mo Wuji entered the internal cabin of the ship and retrieved Condor Hen¡¯s storage ring. What left Mo Wuji speechless was that Condor Hen¡¯s storage ring was the one that he had handed over. It could be seen that when Condor Hen was trading storage rings with him, Condor Hen didn''t really hide anything. What delighted Mo Wuji the most was Sen Lan¡¯s storage ring. The goodies within the storage ring of this Gods Race expert was truly enough to pile into a mountain. The only thing that was lacking was lightning soul stones; it wasn¡¯t even half of what the others gave him. When Mo Wuji opened one of the jade boxes within Sen Lan¡¯s ring and saw a pearl surrounding by lightning, he almost went slack-jawed. He actually saw a Lightning Origin Bead. This was not the first Origin Bead [1] that Mo Wuji obtained; so he was sure that this was a Lightning Origin Bead. Even though his Undying World didn¡¯t require a Lightning Origin Bead, he knew that the value of this Origin Bead was no lower than the five base Elemental Beads. From a certain perspective, the value of this Lightning Origin Bead was even higher. This huge reward left Mo Wuji incomparably elated. He carefully closed the jade box, formed additional seals on it, then sent it into his Undying World. During this trip to the Oblique Space Sea Island, this Lightning Origin Bead could rank third among his rewards. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, the greatest reward was the golden jade letter introducing the construction of immortal puppets. Then came the Seven World Finger; and third was the Lightning Origin Bead. As for the Black Spatial Fruit, the pill furnace and the lightning soul stones, they were all top grade rewards. This was especially so for the lightning soul stones; he had so many of them that he could form a small mountain. Mo Wuji prepared to use these lightning soul stones to forge a magic equipment. After Mo Wuji arranged everything within the rings, he went back to that golden jade letter. He started to study the methods to forge immortal puppets. Time passed gradually. Heap after heap of smithing materials were forged into various kinds of immortal puppets. Gradually, Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding in the construction of immortal puppets got increasingly profound. Even though he hadn¡¯t started constructing immortal puppets with equipment spirits, he didn¡¯t face any problems with constructing Immortal King level puppets. This was also because Mo Wuji was originally a Grade 9 Smith Emperor, and the construction of immortal puppets was considered a branch of smithing. The techniques used were roughly the same. However, to Mo Wuji, this was far from being enough. Not only didn¡¯t he want to rebuild Da Huang to its original state, he wanted Da Huang¡¯s spiritual intelligence to be no weaker than before, stronger even. Mo Wuji estimated that three months had already passed. He stopped his practice and walked out to the deck of the flying ship. "Wuji, I have learnt much during these few months¡­" Ape Mo said elatedly when he saw Mo Wuji come out. It was as he said, during these three months, he had gained an understanding of one of the Laws of Space. Mo Wuji¡¯s position in his heart had only grown stronger because of this. Mo Wuji was probably the only person who would give such a jade letter away. Mo Wuji was just about to speak when his spiritual will detected a flying ship sailing by. The flying ship was an ordinary Grade 7 immortal equipment, but he recognised the cultivator on the ship. It was Yan Wei. Mo Wuji first met Yan Wei back in Heavenly Chasm City.Yan Wei was a disciple of the Waterfall Immortal Sect, his cultivation was at the intermediate Immortal King Stage, and his character was not bad. Currently, Yan Wei was riddled with injuries and he seemed to be on the run. "Ape Mo, let me control the ship." Mo Wuji accepted control over the flying ship and increased its speed. In merely half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji¡¯s ship appeared in front of Yan Wei¡¯s flying ship. "Even if I, Yan Wei, die, I wouldn¡¯t¡­ Pill Emperor Mo, it¡¯s you¡­" Yan Wei only got through half his sentence when he noticed that the person on the deck of the other ship was Mo Wuji. "Brother Yan, long time no see. What happened to you?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. "Brother Mo, you should leave as soon as possible. Posters of you are pasted all throughout Cosmos Edge, calling for your arrest. As long as one is able to catch you, the rewards can be as high as a million god crystals, tens of immortal veins, and even a plethora of magic treasures¡­" Yan Wei soon recalled that Mo Wuji¡¯s circumstances were even worse than his, and he hurriedly cried out in warning. "It¡¯s you? Mo Wuji?" Another flying treasure charged over and stopped not far from Yan Wei. A late-stage Immortal King was standing on that flying treasure. He first noticed Yan Wei, then he saw Mo Wuji. "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Mo Wuji. What is it?" The moment Mo Wuji laid eyes on this late stage Immortal King, he knew that it was a cultivator of the Gods Race. Mo Wuji¡¯s hatred towards the Gods Race seeped deep into his bones. Otherwise, back in Oblique Space Sea Island, he wouldn¡¯t have decided to kill Sen Lan right after Condor Hen. "No, no, there¡¯s nothing. I will be leaving." This Immortal King directly manoeuvred his flying treasure as he prepared it to speed away in the opposite direction. Don¡¯t simply see how Mo Wuji was being treated as a wanted criminal in Cosmos Edge. Mo Wuji had a fierce and notorious reputation in Cosmos Edge, and it was even rumoured that Mo Wuji had even killed a Dao Emperor of the Gods Race. At this time, how could he dare to utter rubbish? Listing Mo Wuji as wanted was one thing, but actually attempting to capture Mo Wuji was another. "Since you¡¯re here, then there¡¯s no need to leave." As Mo Wuji was speaking, an immortal elemental hand grabbed over. This Immortal King was simply like a helpless chick as he got grabbed and held up in front of Mo Wuji. [1] Probably Elemental Bead Chapter 810: Cosmos Edge’s Human Race Chapter 810: Cosmos Edge¡¯s Human Race Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Senior, even though I''m from the Gods Race, I have always admired senior¡­" This Immortal King cried out as he got pinched within Mo Wuji''s elemental hand. He did not see Mo Wuji kill a Dao Emperor from the Gods Race, but he did personally witness Mo Wuji killing the Gods Race''s young lord and three Immortal Emperors. If he did not know that Mo Wuji had killed the Gods Race¡¯s Young Lord Wu Li, he might actually try using his race to threaten Mo Wuji. But now, he clearly didn¡¯t dare to do that. "Pill Emperor Mo¡­" Yan Wei looked at Mo Wuji in aghast. He naturally heard of Mo Wuji¡¯s notoriety in Cosmos Edge. However, he also knew that Mo Wuji was forced out of the Cosmos Edge by the Gods Race, West River Religious Order and Mifei Trade Union. He would never have ever expected that Mo Wuji would be so awesome. This Gods Race expert was a late stage Immortal King. Even an Immortal Emperor couldn¡¯t pinch an Immortal King like an ant-like Mo Wuji was doing now, right? "I¡¯ve only left Cosmos Edge for a few years. Who dares to order my arrest?" Mo Wuji asked indifferently. Before this Gods Race Immortal King could speak, Yan Wei hurriedly said, "It¡¯s the coalition of the Gods Race, West River Religious Order and Mifei Trade Union. They massacred all the Human Race cultivators in Cosmos Edge and destroyed the Human Race¡¯s only immortal city in Cosmos Edge - Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. Thereafter, the chased everyone from the Human Race out of the Very High Heavens Cosmos¡­" When Mo Wuji heard this, a fire of anger began to burn in his heart. He didn¡¯t think that his actions would have implicated so many cultivators. The immortal elemental hand tightened. That Gods Race Immortal King couldn¡¯t even say a word as he was crushed into a mist of blood. Sweeping away the storage ring, Mo Wuji looked at Yan Wei and asked, "Yan Wei, I¡¯m sorry. I have implicated everyone. I also didn¡¯t know that the Gods Race would be so shameless as to vent their anger on the entire Human Race." Yan Wei immediately shook his head, "Immortal Empress Wen Lan, the progenitor of my Waterfall Immortal Sect, had said this before: this matter is not related to Pill Emperor Mo. In reality, even if Pill Emperor Mo hadn¡¯t killed Wu Li in Cosmos Edge, the Very High Heaven¡¯s immortal city in the Beyond Heaven¡¯s Cosmos would still get occupied. It was only a matter of time. Pill Emperor Mo merely gave the Gods Race an excuse to act. Even if Pill Emperor Mo hadn¡¯t done what he did, the Gods Race, the Vampiric Race, or even the Demon Race would have occupied Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City." Mo Wuji sunk into silence. He knew that Immortal Empress Wen Lan was right. Back when he was in Cosmos Edge, the genius of the Human Race could casually be killed. No one even dared to say a word when a Human Race cultivator was put for sale as a slave. Clearly, in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, the Human Race were merely ants waiting to be stepped on. And if this was not enough, another key problem was that the Human Race wasn¡¯t united. Otherwise, Yan Yuerong wouldn¡¯t have been expelled from the Human Race by Zi Changluo¡¯s disciple Gong Shuxiang. Logically, Zi Changluo¡¯s disciple didn¡¯t even have the power or rights to do such a thing. However, the spark of this entire issue was him, Mo Wuji. He still had to bear the responsibility. "Why were you being pursued?" Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. He couldn¡¯t even protect himself back then, how could he have helped gather the power of the Immortal World? As he thought of this, he felt contempt for that Very High Heavens¡¯s Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. That fella probably only cared about his own self-interest. Yan Wei sighed, "Back then, the Gods Race wrecked havoc upon the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. The number of cultivators who perished numbered in the millions. To prevent the Gods Race from attacking the Very High Heavens, Dao Emperor Zi Changluo abandoned the Human Race cultivators that were still fighting hard for the immortal city; he actually destroyed all passages from the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City to the Very High Heavens. All the Human Race cultivators that were pitting their lives for Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City were abandoned by Zi Changluo. My master and two other seniors brought the survivors of the Human Race and escaped Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. We have temporarily established a foothold on a meteorite at a remote corner of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." The more Mo Wuji listened, the more infuriated he could. This Zi Changluo was a Dao Emperor, the leader of the Very High Heavens, and the self-proclaimed ruler of the Immortal World. This b*stard actually escaped by himself, leaving behind the Human Race immortals that were fighting for him. "After we escaped Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City, Demon Race¡¯s Ji Ku and Heaven¡¯s Beyond Immortal Alliance¡¯s Teng Feiyan helped to speak up us. Oh right, Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Lord Feng Huang also helped to say some words. This was what allowed our Human Race to enter the Cosmos Edge. However, the Gods Race and the West River Religious Order did not let go of this matter. They made use of the Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Discussion Stage to slaughter the immortals of our Human Race. I even heard that the Gods Race is preparing to massacre all Human Race survivors within the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. However, because the Gods Race is being hindered by a matter, they hadn¡¯t gotten to us yet," Yan Wei¡¯s tone got increasingly filled with grief and indignation. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was already filled with killing intent. He knew why Human Race cultivators still chose to go to the Cosmos Edge even though they clearly knew that it was a place of death. That¡¯s because the Cosmos Edge was the only place they could increase their power; the Cosmos Edge was the only place they could obtain cultivation resources. Yan Wei continued, "Gods Immortal Domain¡¯s Nai He, Ju Zishuo, Zuo Yixian and several other geniuses managed to survive and escape from Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. However, they still ended up getting killed on the Dao Discussion Stage. They were either killed by the Gods Race or the West River Religious Order. Sometimes, they were killed by the experts from some other races." "Very good." Fire was burning within Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes. Originally, he was only intending to chase the Gods Race out of Cosmos Edge. But since the Gods Race decided to be ruthless, then they couldn¡¯t blame him for directly exterminating their entire Gods Race. "Wuji, just do what you want. No matter what, I, Ape Mo, will fight by your side." Ape Mo did not hesitate to say. He finally understood why Mo Wuji first killed Gods Race¡¯s Sen Lan back in Oblique Space Sea Island, and not Wu He who offended Mo Wuji more. "Aiya, this is not good." Yan Wei exclaimed as he seemed to suddenly recall something. Before Mo Wuji could ask anything, he anxiously said, "Virtual Qing Dao¡¯s Junior Sister Ning Xiaoyu will soon be discussing the dao with West River Religious Order¡¯s Grand Luo Immortal Fei Guang. I¡¯m afraid things will not bode well for Junior Sister Nong Xiaoyu." "Nong Xiaoyu?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically. He seemed to have heard this name before. However, he was more familiar with Xiao Xiaoyu; Xiao Xiaoyu was the girl that always followed by Yan Yuerong¡¯s side. Yan Wei hurriedly said, "Nong Xiaoyu is an Eight Star Genius from Virtual Qing Dao. Senior might not know her, but Senior should know her older sister, Xiao Xiaoyu." "Nong Xiaoyu is Xiao Xiaoyu¡¯s younger sister?" Mo Wuji asked in shock. Mo Wuji had a very good impression of Xiao Xiaoyu. Back when he posed as a mortal named Da Huang, he always addressed Xiao Xiaoyu as Big Little Sister. If it was any other immortal, he would have already been slapped to death. However, Xiao Xiaoyu never had such intentions. In fact, to protect him, she brought him to an immortal city. Xiao Xiaoyu and Yan Yuerong were genuinely kind people. It was exactly because of this, that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate to help Yan Yuerong take revenge for Xiao Xiaoyu. "Yes, Nong Xiaoyu and her sister split up when they were young, with one following the mother and the other following the father. Because senior killed Wu Li to take revenge for Xiao Xiaoyu, Nong Xiaoyu has been extremely grateful towards senior," Yan Wei answered. Mo Wuji nodded. His ruckus in Cosmos Edge was too huge. Everyone in Cosmos Edge would definitely know about him saving Yan Yuerong and taking revenge for Xiao Xiaoyu. Thus, it did not come as a surprise that Yan Wei and co. knew about it. "Since that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll go take a look at Cosmos Edge. If it¡¯s a fair dao discussion, then so be it. But if they dare to play any tricks, then they can¡¯t blame me for not behaving politely." Mo Wuji snorted and said. He took control of the flying ship. In an instant, it sped up and charged towards Cosmos Edge. ¡­ Cosmos Edge did not become more solemn and gloomy by the destruction of the Human Race¡¯s last immortal city in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. In fact, it became even more bustling than before. When Mo Wuji brought Yan Wei and Ape Mo to Cosmos Edge, they noticed huge streams of people flowing in and out of the city. It was extremely lively. Yan Wei whispered to Mo Wuji¡¯s ear, "It¡¯s said that the Cosmos Wall is opening soon. That¡¯s why many people want to head over to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. However, our Human Race definitely wouldn¡¯t have a chance to go to the Cosmos Wall and fight for treasures." "No worries." Mo Wuji responded simply, then he sped up his footsteps. He was indeed not in a hurry. Now that he, Mo Wuji had returned, everything that belongs to the Human Race had better be placed in front of him. Likewise, he wouldn¡¯t go and instigate fights for things that didn¡¯t belong to the Human Race. Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza was extremely crowded. Even from a distance, Mo Wuji could see it filled with cultivators from various races. There were two cultivators engaged in an intense battle on the Dao Discussion Stage. One was a girl in a light blue dress. Her cultivation was at the early Grand Luo Immortal Stage. The other one was a medium built man. He was in the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage. That girl shared similar features Xiao Xiaoyu. It was just that her skin was whiter, and her looks were significantly prettier than Xiao Xiaoyu. Mo Wuji soon felt relieved. Even though this girl was only at the early Grand Luo Immortal Stage, her combat abilities were far from ordinary. A green cloud revolved strongly around her; Mo Wuji did not need to use his spiritual will to tell that she was at an advantage. Even though that intermediate stage Grand Luo Immortal battling Nong Xiaoyu had a slightly higher cultivation, he seemed to be tied down in both his skills and his magic treasure. It could be said that it was only a matter of time till Nong Xiaoyu wins. "Senior Mo¡­" Mo Wuji stopped Yan Wei from continuing, "Dao Friend Yan, I have some ties with Immortal Empress Wen Lan, and I had obtained some benefits from her before. We can also be considered long acquaintances. It¡¯s okay if you call me Wuji or Senior Brother Mo." Yan Wei hurriedly said, "Yes, Senior Brother Mo. The one on the stage is Nong Xiaoyu. She¡¯s battling West River Religious Order¡¯s Fei Guang. It¡¯s said that this Fei Huang is a core figure within the West River Religious Order even though he is only at the intermediate Grand Luo Immortal Stage. I¡¯m afraid that if Xiaoyu suppresses him, the experts from West River Religious Order will act." Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "There¡¯s no need to worry. In fact, I¡¯m afraid that no one would come forward. As long as someone dares to act, then it¡¯s good." Actually, this was what Mo Wuji genuinely thought. If someone from the West River Religious Order dared to act, then he would destroy this Dao Discussion Stage for a second time. Then, he would go to the West River Religious Order to demand an explanation. Chapter 811: Who Do You Think You Are? Chapter 811: Who Do You Think You Are? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was right. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, Nong Xiaoyu managed to seize an opportunity. Her green cloud exploded into a wave of green light which enveloped around Fei Guang. Before Fei Guang could tear this green light apart, Nong Xiaoyu used that window of time to break Fei Guang¡¯s domain with a forbidden sacred art. This sacred art was similar to Spatial Imprisonment; it caused Fei Guang to be unable to move for an extremely short period of time. Thereafter, a few beams of light appeared behind Nong Xiaoyu¡¯s back and sped towards Fei Guang¡¯s forehead. Everyone under the Dao Discussion Stage knew that if nothing goes wrong, Fei Guang was doomed. However, everyone also knew that the one going to die wasn¡¯t Fei Guang, but Nong Xiaoyu. Indeed, at this instant, a grey light shot off the side of the Dao Discussion Stage. It was extremely fast. Right after this grey light, came a white light. The reason why there was a difference was that this grey light blocked Nong Xiaoyu¡¯s attack on Fei Guang, while that white light shot towards Nong Xiaoyu¡¯s forehead. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded in fury. It was indeed as Yan Wei said. If things didn¡¯t go right on the Dao Discussion Stage, someone would pull strings below the stage. Not only that, the one trying to kill Nong Xiaoyu was a late stage Immortal Reverent. A late-stage Immortal Reverent actually tried to ambush an early stage Grand Luo Immortal. This was simply too shameless. Mo Wuji opened his hand. Those two lights suddenly changed direction. After turning 180 degrees, they suddenly shot towards a clean-shaven man below the stage. "Pff!" A mist of blood exploded. This man¡¯s brain was directly shredded by these two light. His primordial spirit didn¡¯t even get to emerge before it was destroyed. When Nong Xiaoyu saw those two beams of light, her heart was filled with desolation. She knew that this couldn¡¯t be avoided, but she still had to face it. She could only hope that she was killed after she killed Fei Guang. However, her wishes clearly fell shot. That light beam was even faster than her forbidden light shadow. But Nong Xiaoyu soon went ecstatic. She discovered that the two light beams shooting towards the Dao Discussion Stage stopped suddenly, turned 180 degrees and flew back. The sense of doom that loomed over here instantly vanished. At almost the same instant that the Immortal Reverent was killed, Fei Guang¡¯s head exploded. "Who dares to kill a deacon of my West River Religious Order under the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza¡¯s Dao Discussion Stage?" A voice filled with infuriation resounded. Thereafter, a violent and terrifying killing intent burst forth. It caused most of the cultivators under the Dao Discussion Stage subconsciously shudder. Even Nong Xiaoyu subconsciously retreated. She was momentarily too afraid to collect her spoils of war. After this explosive killing intent appeared, a tall man with long grey hair stepped up. That man was in mid-air. He formed a huge elemental hand which grabbed towards Nong Xiaoyu. From his killing intent and the baleful aura around him, anyone could tell that this tall man had killed countless of people. "Your grandpa was the one who did it." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to step forward. He also went into mid-air as he punched outwards. An overbearing pressure filled the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. If that killing intent and angry voice was said to leave the cultivators in the Dao Plaza pressured, this fist of Mo Wuji had almost left everyone kneeling and feeling suffocated. At this instant, that explosive killing intent disappeared. Everyone could clearly see an immense fist shadow. That fist was enveloped by searing hot flames, and it seemed capable of destroying everything in the Heaven and Earth. It moved towards that tall, grey-haired man. ¡­ Ju Shenghui hadn¡¯t even descended when he saw Mo Wuji¡¯s fists. He even heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Instantly, his heart became filled with greater killing intent. Even though he didn¡¯t know Mo Wuji, he could see that Mo Wuji was young. So what if a young ant was an Immortal Emperor? It wasn¡¯t enough to behave arrogantly in front of an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor like him. "Die for me." In his rage, Ju Shenghui¡¯s elemental hand didn¡¯t grab Nong Xiaoyu, but turned towards Mo Wuji. At the next instant, he went still. The space around him had suddenly been sealed. His sacred arts were completely unable to break through this sealed space. Could it be that this person was a Dao Emperor? "Stop, I¡¯m an elder of the West River Religious Order¡­" Ju Shenghui cried out frantically. He only managed to say part of a sentence before he stopped suddenly. At this instant, he finally recognised who the person in front of him was. Mo Wuji¡¯s image had been pasted throughout the Cosmos Edge. He would never have imagined that Mo Wuji¡¯s balls would be so huge as to return back to Cosmos Edge. Mo Wuji sneered, "West River Religious Order certainly has a huge reputation. Unfortunately, it isn¡¯t enough to scare this old man." "Bang!" The Domain Crushing Fist directly shattered Ju Shenghui¡¯s domain and landed at Ju Shenghui¡¯s dantian. The violent flames coupled with the overwhelming strength of the fist directly turned Ju Shenghui into juice. "Bam!" Just as Mo Wuji swept the storage ring towards him, the Dao Discussion Stage collapsed. As long as one wasn¡¯t a fool, one could clearly tell that Mo Wuji intentionally destroyed the Dao Discussion Stage. Nong Xiaoyu finally woke up from her shock. She finally understood that the person in front of her was Mo Wuji. If Nong Xiaoyu used to have suspicions towards the rumours of Mo Wuji killing a Dao Emperor of the Gods Race, those suspicions were now gone. Even a Dao Emperor couldn¡¯t kill an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor with a single fist. Nong Xiaoyu was all too familiar with West River Religious Order¡¯s Ju Shenghui. He was an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor that killed countless of Human Race experts in Cosmos Edge. But now, he was vanquished with a single fist of Mo Wuji¡¯s. Exactly how strong was Mo Wuji? No wonder why, back in the Immortal World, three Grand Emperors and a Quasi-Emperor weren¡¯t able to kill Mo Wuji despite surrounding him. Nong Xiaoyu soon reacted accordingly. She did not hesitate to shoot a fireball to destroy Fei Guang. Thereafter, she swept up Fei Guang¡¯s storage ring. Even though the pressure from Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Crushing Fist had already scattered, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Plaza remained silent. Nong Xiaoyu wasn¡¯t the only one who knew of Ju Shenghui. In fact, who in Cosmos Edge didn¡¯t know of Ju Shenghui? But now, West River Religious Order¡¯s Immortal Emperor Ju Shenghui had been eliminated with a single punch. Everyone knew what this entailed. Cosmos Edge was going to be swept into a storm of blood and violence. "Many thanks, Senior Mo for your saving grace." Nong Xiaoyu hurriedly walked over and bowed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji waved his hand, "We will talk later. You and Yan Wei retreat now." Just as Mo Wuji finished speaking, ten over shadows descended and surrounded Mo Wuji. This was different from when Mo Wuji killed the Gods Race¡¯s young lord and three Immortal Emperors. This time, a whole group of experts came when he killed an Immortal Emperor of the West River Religious Order. Mo Wuji knew that these fellas had returned from their treasure hunting trip. Previously, he was lucky as many experts weren¡¯t present in Cosmos Edge. The experts of the Gods Race also came back after some time because he killed their young lord. But in the end, didn¡¯t he still kill one of their Dao Emperors and escape? "House Master Mo, you are not a person unfamiliar to Cosmos Edge. Why did you destroy my Cosmos Edge¡¯s for a second time?" A deep voice sounded. The one speaking was an old man in black robes. Mo Wuji could see that he was just a Grand Emperor. "Who do you think you are?" Mo Wuji snorted coldly. His spiritual will had already scanned through the ten over fellas surrounding him; they were all Immortal Emperors. There was a Grand Emperor and three late-stage Immortal Emperors. The rest were in the early or intermediate stages. Mo Wuji really despised these fellas. In the Dao Discussion Stage, why didn¡¯t these fellas say anything when experts acted against the Human Race cultivators? Honestly, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t hold these people in regard. There¡¯s no need to talk about how he had Ape Mo, an expert equivalent to a Dao Emperor to help him. Even if he didn¡¯t have a helper, these fellas weren¡¯t enough to kill him. What kind of opponents did he face in Oblique Space Sea Island? They were all existences equivalent to Dao Emperors. Moreover, they weren¡¯t average Dao Emperors. An average Dao Emperor definitely didn¡¯t qualify to be a Grand Emperor on the Oblique Space Sea Island. "Attack together. Kill this person." When he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s incomparably arrogant reply, this black-robed man shouted angrily. In reality, even though this Grand Emperor hadn¡¯t said anything, all these Immortal Emperors had already whipped out their magic treasures and started moving towards Mo Wuji. "Ape Mo, help me to prevent any arrays. I, alone, am enough." Mo Wuji retrieved his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. As he was speaking, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd had already conjured millions of halberd light, transforming into boundless amounts of sand. If these ten over Immortal Emperors used an array or worked together, perhaps Mo Wuji might be a little fearful. However, these Immortal Emperors were fighting individually. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, they were simply a bunch of loose crows. After releasing his Grand Desert, Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd light transformed into countless of array flags. Mo Wuji continued as he released boundless amounts of lightning bolts. This was Mo Wuji¡¯s lightning-type sacred art - Lightning Flash. When he advanced to the Immortal Emperor Stage, his lightning-type skills evolved into a sacred art. One of the sets within the lightning-type sacred art was this Lightning Flash. His strong whirlpool domain directly enveloped this entire space. All the Immortal Emperors attacking Mo Wuji could feel it. At this instant, they felt like they have fallen into a vast desert of quicksand. As they got stuck in this quicksand, lightning danced wildly around them. The black-robed Grand Emperor was the first to discover that something was amiss. Mo Wuji¡¯s power was even higher than a Dao Emperor. Their individual attacks wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to Mo Wuji. "Everyone, listen to my orders¡­" Just as this black-robed Grand Emperor said a few words, a looming sense of doom enveloped him. He felt his life force seeping away. He even saw grey clouds of death. "What is this sacred art?" This black robed Immortal Emperor¡¯s heart started racing. Ever since he started on the path of cultivation, he had never seen such a terrifying sacred art before. "This is the Wheel of Life and Death. It will teach you to behave properly." Mo Wuji¡¯s voice resounded. After which, this black-robed Grand Emperor saw a grey-white Bagua imprint slowly embed itself within his life force. It was formless and shapeless; he didn¡¯t even have a chance to stop it. An overwhelming sense of death surged into his mind. At this instant, this black-robed Grand Emperor even felt that his entire soul was boiling. "Everyone, use the Eight Immortal Killing Array¡­" This black robed Grand Emperor finally reacted. He anxiously ignited his vital blood, and at the same time, he expended his remaining longevity as he waved his gong towards Mo Wuji. Chapter 812: One Versus Fifteen Chapter 812: One Versus Fifteen Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Bang!" By the time the square gong broke through Mo Wuji''s domain and landed on Mo Wuji''s chest, this black-robed Grand Emperor''s life force had been completely sucked away by the Wheel of Life and Death. Before he died, he saw a trail of blood form on Mo Wuji''s chest. At the same time, he saw six other Immortal Emperors suffer the same fate as him; they all perished under Mo Wuji''s Half Moon Weighted Halberd. This person''s too strong. This was this black-robed Grand Emperor''s final thought. Mo Wuji simultaneously used three sacred arts: Grand Desert, Winding River and Wheel of Life and Death. In a short time, he killed seven Immortal Emperors, including the black-robed Grand Emperor. He, himself, received a deep scar on his chest from that black-robed Grand Emperor''s square gong. It could be said that if not for Mo Wuji''s strong physique and his Grand Desert''s trap array, that square gong could have ripped him in half at a single go. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath, then he activated his Grand Desert once more. Millions of halberd light instantly transformed into array flags, forming a complete Grade 7 immortal killing array. It was true that a Grade 7 array was unable to trap an Immortal Emperor. However, this array was formed from Mo Wuji''s sacred art. Thus, it would continuously change according to Mo Wuji''s will. At the same time, he shot two Spiritual Will Arrows. These two Spiritual Will Arrows were locked onto two late-stage Immortal Emperors. As for the remaining six Immortal Emperors, which were at the early and intermediate stage, Mo Wuji slashed out his Winding River once more towards them. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The boundless halberd light was struck down by the combined attacks of the eight Immortal Emperors. Explosions reverberated throughout the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River descended down at an oblique angle; this beautiful halberd light came cascading down like a crescent ring. "Pff! Pff! Pff!" Mists of blood exploded. At this point, Mo Wuji felt a wave of weakness from his sea of consciousness. He knew that he was over-extended himself. Two early-stage Immortal Emperors didn¡¯t even have the ability to resist as they were cut down by Mo Wuji¡¯s oblique Winging River. That one late-stage Immortal Emperor, that hadn¡¯t been locked on by Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrow, and two intermediate stage Immortal Emperors used the instant that Mo Wuji used to kill those two early-stage Immortal Emperors to break through Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert Array. Thereafter, three magic treasures came simultaneously towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness ached. The spiritual will in his spirit storage channel came to supplement it. Even so, the gap in Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert Array became bigger and bigger. Now, there was another magic treasure that came towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s sense of danger was tingling. At this point, Mo Wuji could no longer hold back on his methods; he took out two pages of the Book of Luo. Even in the Oblique Space Sea Island, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t take out the Book of Luo. This was because he didn¡¯t want others to know that he had the Book of Luo. Even though he still didn¡¯t want others to know, when his life was being threatened, Mo Wuji could no longer keep them under covers. Ape Mo had been paying attention to Mo Wuji. He knew that Mo Wuji was very strong, but Mo Wuji was currently facing 15 Immortal Emperors at the same time. Even though they might not be attacking in a group formation, it still wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with them. When he saw Mo Wuji get injured by that black-robed Grand Emperor, and was also currently being targeted by multiple magic treasures, Ape Mo prepared to act. But just at this moment, he saw Mo Wuji take out two pages of the Book of Luo. These two pages were like two huge barriers; the four magic treasures were blocked by the barriers formed from the Book of Luo. An intense rumble pervaded through the air; the surrounding space started to tremble. Ape Mo sighed in relief. He knew that when Mo Wuji took out the Book of Luo, Mo Wuji would no longer be in danger. "Mo Wuji, I, An Xuecheng, have wanted to kill you for a long time. Today, you finally presented yourself in front of my door¡­" An airy voice could suddenly be heard. Thereafter, three figures could be seen charging towards them. Two figures charged straight to Ape Mo. The other one, a man in white robes, descended from the air and punched towards Mo Wuji¡¯s Grand Desert Array. "If you want to attack, you would first have to ask me, Ape Mo." Ape Mo wielded his Wolf Fang Mace. The moment this Wolf Fang Mace appeared, the space under it seemed to go under the Wolf Fang Mace¡¯s control. At this point, Nong Xiaoyu and Yan Wei, who had already retreated to the fringes, hurriedly retreated once more. The two early stage Immortal Emperors, that wanted to block Ape Mo, weren¡¯t even able to take out their magic treasures before they were sealed in place by Ape Mo¡¯s domain and the Wolf Fang Mace¡¯s killing intent. "Pff! Pff!" Two mists of blood exploded; these two Immortal Emperors died simultaneously. Ape Mo didn¡¯t even bother retrieving his Wolf Fang Mace. He formed a hand seal and the Wolf Fang Mace sped towards An Xuecheng. Feeling his life being threatened, An Xuecheng could not help but retract the fist that he was aiming towards Mo Wuji. ¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness ached. Four Immortal Emperors grabbed this opportunity to attack Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s Book of Luo had only given him a short instant. Those two late-stage Immortal Emperors that were locked on by Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrow also grabbed this opportunity. Even though the two hadn¡¯t released themselves from the Spiritual Will Arrow, they still sent their magic treasures flying towards Mo Wuji. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The magic treasures landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s Book of Luo. The Book of Luo¡¯s majestic aura started to dissipate. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River merged with his Grand Desert. Once again, another three mists of blood formed. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji¡¯s ribs shattered. Even though he was protected by the Book of Luo, and he had his Grand Desert Array, he was still unable to remain unscathed. The ashen Mo Wuji had a trail of blood flowing out the corner of his lips. However, he didn¡¯t retreat. His Winding River had just fully merged with his Grand Desert. A Setting Sun and a 30-meter long halberd light directly tore through this space. The Four Halberd Strikes¡¯ Setting Sun and Remnant Chasm were simultaneously released. As he used these two sacred arts, Mo Wuji grabbed a handful of Zhi Nature Pills and popped them in his mouth. This was the first time he used all Four Halberd Strikes: three intent-level sacred arts and one killing sacred art. His sea of consciousness was already aching before this. After using these two sacred arts, the violet lake within his sea of consciousness began to surge with greater intensity. The violet energy within the violet lake instantly filled the entire sea of consciousness. At this instant, the ache caused by the overuse of spiritual will faded rapidly. Mo Wuji celebrated wildly. He never thought that the violet lake in his sea of consciousness could have such a useful power. The spiritual will in his sea of consciousness gradually regained its strength. Likewise, the aura in the Setting Sun and the Remnant Chasm began to surge. At this time, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to release another sacred art, Boundless Lightning Rain. Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s previous insufficient spiritual will, the power in his two Spiritual Will Arrows weakened significantly; they weren¡¯t even able to kill those two late-stage Immortal Emperors. Even so, those two Spiritual Will Arrows were still insanely strong. Those two late-stage Immortal Emperors were heavily injured to the point where they were strongly vomiting blood. Their sea of consciousness even started to evaporate. These two heavily injured late stage Immortal Emperors weren¡¯t even comparable to an early stage Immortal Emperor. Space trembled; the sun started to set. The remaining Immortal Emperors all felt a sense of desolation; they felt a grief which seemed to tear at their very souls. A 30-meter long Remnant Chasm came descending down towards them. No one was able to dodge. Even though they knew that Mo Wuji was also injured, no one chose to attack Mo Wuji. They all retreated frantically. "Crack!" Whether it was a domain or a magic treasure, they all shattered. Thereafter, boundless lightning bolts came flashing towards them. Multiple corpses fell from the sky. The surroundings finally calmed down. Only a single late-stage Immortal Emperor was left. He stood there, staring blankly at the bloodied Mo Wuji. 15 Immortal Emperors attacked Mo Wuji; there were even three late-stage Immortal Emperors and a Grand Emperor among the 15. How long had it been? He was the only one left? A sense of weakness pervaded throughout Mo Wuji¡¯s body. However, Mo Wuji did not care as he waved his Half Moon Weighted Halberd to conjure a halberd light. "House Master Mo, please stay your hand. I concede defeat. I¡¯m an Immortal Emperor of Cosmos Edge, I don¡¯t have much enmity with you¡­" This late-stage Immortal Emperor cried out frantically. He wanted to escape, however, this entire space was sealed by Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. He couldn¡¯t even retreat. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother saying a word. The halberd light sailed through the air. After that blood mist dissipated, Mo Wuji swept up the ten over storage rings. There was no need to talk about your identity as someone from Cosmos Edge. Even if you were the boss of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, as long as you tried to kill Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would not show mercy. Moreover, among the ten over Immortal Emperors that attacked him, the only ones that posed a true threat were the three late-stage Immortal Emperors and that black-robed Grand Emperor. "Pff!" An Xuecheng coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood as he came falling from the sky. He stared at Ape Mo in aghast. Previously, he thought that Ape Mo was just a random lackey of Mo Wuji¡¯s. Now, he knew Ape Mo was an expert that could even kill Grand Emperors. "Who are you? Why¡­" An Xuecheng did not continue asking. He saw that Mo Wuji had slaughtered the last Immortal Emperor. An Xuecheng¡¯s heart suddenly started to tremble. He even felt regret for antagonising Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had single-handedly killed 15 Immortal Emperors, among which were three late-stage Immortal Emperors and a Grand Emperor. He, An Xuecheng, could only dream of such power. It was true that he, An Xuecheng, was one of the Five Great Grand Emperors of Cosmos Edge. However, if he was in Mo Wuji¡¯s position¡­ No, even if the number of Immortal Emperors attacking was reduced by half, he would still die. Moreover, Mo Wuji had the help of a heaven-defying expert like Ape Mo. There was no longer anyone that could threaten Mo Wuji in Cosmos Edge. "House Master Mo, previously I was not in Cosmos Edge. That may be the reason for our misunderstanding¡­" An Xuecheng no longer had any thoughts of killing Mo Wuji. Anxiety could be heard in his voice. This was the Cosmos Edge. If Mo Wuji was bent on killing him, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. Mo Wuji completely disregarded An Xuecheng¡¯s words. He only spoke to Ape Mo, "Ape Mo, when I¡¯m killing this person, you need to make sure that he doesn¡¯t escape¡­" Before he even finished speaking, Mo Wuji had already taken a step forward. His whirlpool domain came surging towards An Xuecheng. Until now, Ape Mo finally answered, "Wuji, rest assured. If I can¡¯t even defend against a mere intermediate stage Immortal Emperor, then I, Ape Mo, might as well be sleeping." [1] It was true that An Xuecheng was powerful. Even so, he was only a mere intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. "Mo Wuji, you won¡¯t get any benefits from killing me. If we join hands, we will both get to benefit¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s surging killing intent, An Xuecheng hurriedly retrieved his magic treasure and released his domain. His mouth never stopped moving. Mo Wuji¡¯s face was calm. He only sent a finger towards An Xuecheng. [1] I think this is cos the Oblique Space Sea Island has different standards. Like how Grand Emperors there are actually far more powerful than Dao Emperors in Cosmos Edge. Chapter 813: Knocking Up Mifei Trade Union’s Door Chapter 813: Knocking Up Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Door Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations There was no need to talk about how An Xuecheng proclaimed that he wanted to kill Mo Wuji just as he arrived. Even if An Xuecheng hadn''t said it, with what the West River Religious Order had done to the Human Race in Cosmos Edge, it was undoubted that Mo Wuji would kill him. At the same time, Mo Wuji knew that his abilities still weren''t enough. Just because of 10 over Immortal Emperors, he had to use his Book of Luo. If he was going to engage in a war with the entire Gods Race, he would need to gather more power. Thus, if he eliminated An Xuecheng and Mifei Trade Union, he could gain a large territory within Cosmos Edge. Seeing that Mo Wuji had completely no intentions of stopping, An Xuecheng promptly decided to escape towards his West River Religious Order; there was a transfer array there. However, that was when he saw Mo Wuji''s finger. He immediately felt as though the entire Heaven and Earth was changing. At this instant, this finger seemed to occupy the entire Heaven and Earth; this finger had suppressed all space that belonged to him, An Xuecheng. This space was the world, and in this world, he was the most insignificant life form. And his life was being controlled by this world. Suppressed. "No!" An Xuecheng howled furiously. He was one of the Five Great Grand Emperors; he did not fear any other Grand Emperors. How could he get suppressed by this single finger? He wanted to ignite his inner rage and resistance; he wanted to break out of this finger''s suppression. However, this plot of space seemed to come alive; there seemed to be a trace of life within this space. An Xuecheng wasn''t even able to muster a single bit of force as he got suppressed. At this time, he was like an insignificant speck of dust in this World of Man. The finger transformed into a ten thousand ton mountain. This huge mountain descended down from the sky. A sense of despair inundated An Xuecheng''s heart. Ever since he started on the path of cultivation, he had never felt as powerless as he was today. The energy of death seeped into the depths of his soul. At this instant, he was no longer thinking about how he could avoid this finger. Instead, he wondered: Exactly what did he gain from opposing Mo Wuji? Perhaps it was because he had the same thoughts as everyone else: Mo Wuji had offended the Gods Race; so he wouldn¡¯t have the chance to come back, right¡­ "Pff!" A fog of blood exploded. An illustrious Grand Emperor; one of Cosmos Edge¡¯s Five Great Grand Emperors; an esteemed Order Head of the West River Religious Order, An Xuecheng died without even having the chance to resist. He was indeed a Grand Emperor. The only reason why that black-robed Grand Emperor was able to have an attack land on Mo Wuji was because Mo Wuji was surrounded by 14 other Immortal Emperors. As for him, An Xuecheng, he was facing Mo Wuji by himself. A storage ring and an elemental bead were swept away by Mo Wuji. By this time, there were more spectators in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. Paradoxically, the Dao Plaza was quieter. A 30-meter long gully extended out from the Dao Discussion Stage, resulting in a deep fissure in the centre of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. "..." Yan Wei still hadn¡¯t recovered from his shock. Mo Wuji had actually single-handedly slaughtered 16 Immortal Emperors, including one of the Five Great Grand Emperors An Xuecheng. This sort of power, could he be a Dao Emperor? Even a Dao Emperor couldn¡¯t be so powerful. In reality, since he had already cultivated to such a level, Yan Wei was clear that a Dao Emperor was still within the Immortal Emperor Stage; it was just that Dao Emperors had a greater level of understandings towards the Laws of the Heaven and Earth than other Immortal Emperors. "Brother Mo, I really didn¡¯t expect to see you again so soon¡­" Feng Huang¡¯s elated voice could be heard. Thereafter, his figure swiftly walked over. Mo Wuji was all too clear of Feng Huang¡¯s character. This person only did things based on his own self-interest. Don¡¯t simply look at how he spoke up for the Human Race. That was probably because he either feared or admired Mo Wuji. With a few simple words that do not cost anything, he was able to improve his ties with Mo Wuji. Wouldn¡¯t he be happy to do that? Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I have to thank Dao Lord Feng for helping to speak up for my Human Race previously. Just now, I accidentally killed a few Immortal Emperors of Cosmos Edge. I hope to seek Dao Lord Feng¡¯s understanding." Feng Huang hurriedly said, "Brother Mo, your words are inappropriate. I¡¯ve long been acquainted with Brother Mo, so there¡¯s no need to thank me for saying some words. As for those people that Brother Mo killed, they were arrogant fellas that tarnished the reputation of Cosmos Edge. Now that Brother Mo killed them, it could even be considered as doing me, Feng Huang, a huge favour." Feng Huang wasn¡¯t bluffing. Just now, Mo Wuji¡¯s slaughter of a few experts of Cosmos Edge was really helping him. If not because he wanted to befriend Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t even be here right now. Instead, he would have gone to wrest control of Cosmos Edge. Currently, Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Lord Estate had several vacancies. He, Feng Huang, would definitely be able to gain control all in one go. Mo Wuji could naturally see Feng Huang¡¯s anxiety. He waved his hand and said, "Dao Lord Feng, please feel free to do what you want. I still need to collect some old debts before I meet Dao Lord Feng to talk and reminisce about the past." Feng Huang knew Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions; Mo Wuji wanted to go and destroy West River Religious Order and Mifei Trade Union. "Alright, then I will catch up with Brother Mo later." Feng Huang spoke quickly, then he sped away. Mo Wuji did not care about what Feng Huang was doing. Instead, he landed in front of Mifei Trade Union¡¯s entrance. He had already swept through West River Religious Order with his spiritual will; after An Xuecheng was killed, most of the people inside had already deserted. Besides the two immortal veins buried under West River Religious Order, there wasn¡¯t really anything much that Mo Wuji liked about that place. Mifei Trade Union was different. That was actually an immortal essence pond inside. "House Master Mo." Just as Mo Wuji arrived at Mifei Trade Union¡¯s entrance, a bald man walked out and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji just killed close to 20 Immortal Emperors as Cosmos Edge¡¯s Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Plaza. Mo Wuji¡¯s mere act of using his spiritual will to scan Mifei Trade Union had already alerted the entire Mifei Trade Union that he was coming. "You are Qian Yisa?" Mo Wuji knew that the Union Head of Mifei Trade Union was called Qian Yisa; Qian Yisa was at the level of Dao Emperors. Qian Yisa forcefully suppressed the anger and fear in his heart. He clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji once more, "I¡¯m indeed Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Union Head Qian Yisa. Previously, my Mifei Trade Union had some conflict with House Master Mo. Unfortunately, I wasn¡¯t in Cosmos Edge at that time. When I learnt about it upon my return, I have always been blaming myself for what happened." Under the encirclement of close to 20 Immortal Emperors, Mo Wuji was able to slaughter them all and emerge almost completely unscathed. This was something that he, Qian Yisa, could never do. Otherwise, just the mere act of Mo Wuji ripping through Mifei Trade Union¡¯s seals with his spiritual will would have already warranted him to kill Mo Wuji. "Oh." Mo Wuji responded flatly. Then, he continued, "Among the 15 Immortal Emperors that encircled me, how many were from Mifei Trade Union?" "There were five people. However, I completely didn¡¯t know that these five people left. I had always been in seclusion. I only rushed out because I heard that Dao Friend Mo had arrived," Qian Yisa said apologetically. In reality, he really didn¡¯t really care about that matter. He was, after all, a Dao Emperor. Even though he had some reservations towards Mo Wuji, he believed that Mo Wuji wouldn''t dare to act against him. Of course, the premise was that he had to show Mo Wuji some face and provide Mo Wuji with some benefits. As for killing Mo Wuji, that was not a matter that he could do alone. He would have to collaborate with the experts from Gods Race, as well as other powerss before he could get rid of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was of the Human Race; if the Human Race became strong in Cosmos Edge, it would be a conflict of interest with several races. "After the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City was destroyed by the Gods Race, the Human Race retreated to a piece of meteorite. I heard that Mifei Trade Union frequently killed cultivators of my Human Race on the Dao Discussion Stage?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was very calm, it seemed as though he was narrating something that had no relations with him. Qian Yisa laughed and said, "That¡¯s indeed the case. However, House Master Mo also knows, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos is a place where only experts can speak. It¡¯s not possible to prevent losses on the Dao Discussion Stage. I believe that if House Master Mo sets up an encampment at Cosmos Edge, such matters definitely wouldn¡¯t happen again." In reality, such matters really didn¡¯t matter in Qian Yisa¡¯s eyes. The people who died were some unimportant people. Who asked the Human Race to not have any speaking rights in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos? Even in his Mifei Trade Union, there were more than one Human Race Immortal Emperors. When so many Human Race cultivators were being killed in Cosmos Edge, did they even stand up and say anything? "Very good¡­" After Mo Wuji muttered these two words, his domain suddenly burst forth. During this entire conversation, Mo Wuji had always been very calm. How could Qian Yisa expect that Mo Wuji would suddenly release his whirlpool domain? With Mo Wuji¡¯s domain being so powerful, Qian Yisa hadn¡¯t even reacted even after he had been enveloped by the domain. From the start, Qian Yisa was already weaker than Mo Wuji. Now that he was enveloped by Mo Wuji¡¯s domain, he immediately fell into a severe disadvantage. Just as he released his domain, Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrow had already condensed. This wasn¡¯t the tangible sort of Spiritual Will that he used to blow Lun Pa¡¯s brains out. This was a shapeless and formless Spiritual Will Arrow that could directly penetrate into the sea of consciousness. At this instant, Qian Yisa felt as though he was being eyed on by a fierce tiger. His entire body was shivering but he forced himself not to move. He seemed to afraid that a tiny movement would startle the tiger. "House Master Mo, please don¡¯t attack. The reason why I came was to offer you some compensation¡­" "Kacha!" The sound of a released arrow, that could not be seen with the naked eye, resounded through the air. It directly shot towards Qian Yisa¡¯s forehead. By this time, how could Qian Yisa not know that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t here for compensation, and was instead here to kill him? He no longer cared about anyone else. He hurriedly retracted his Immortal Emperor Domain, and a blinding white light condensed in front of his forehead. At this same time, he brought out a black shield. Before he could completely retrieve his black shield, he felt the surrounding life force in air being swept away; death energy continued to concentrate on him. That¡¯s not right, this is a Spiritual Will Arrow. Qian Yisa¡¯s show body trembled. He was a Dao Emperor. Thus, he was especially clear that Spiritual Will Arrows were among the hardest to defend against among spiritual will type attacks. Spiritual Will Arrows could only be defended by the highest grade of magic treasures. He, Qian Yisa, might be rich. However, he wasn¡¯t rich to the point where he could purchase such treasures. This Spiritual Will Arrow was different from the two he shot at the two late stage Immortal Emperors. Back then, he was injured, and he was also tied down by six other Immortal Emperors. This time, Mo Wuji was facing Qian Yisa on a one on one battle. There was no need for him to hold back. Even if Qian Yisa was any stronger, he wouldn¡¯t be strong enough to disregard a Spiritual Will Arrow. Qian Yisa frantically burned his vital blood. Originally, he wanted to battle Mo Wuji with some of his sacred arts to show Mo Wuji that he, Qian Yisa, wasn¡¯t a person worth offending. Thereafter, he would continue bargaining with Mo Wuji. But now, Qian Yisa no longer had such thoughts. There was only one thought in his mind, that was to leave Cosmos Edge as soon as possible. An intense sense of pain struck him. "Kacha!" Qian Yisa heard a cracking sound in his own sea of consciousness. His heart sunk; his sea of consciousness had been shattered. If this continued, then he would definitely die. Qian Yisa hurriedly retrieved a talisman. Before he could fully activate the talisman, the space around him suddenly went rigid. Thereafter, he saw a flame covered fist. By this time, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even need to use his whirlpool domain. This flame-covered fist had directly smashed through Qian Yisa¡¯s domain. This was the aura of the Laws of Space! At this instant, there was only regret in Qian Yisa¡¯s mind. He didn¡¯t know that the disparity between Mo Wuji and him was so huge. If he knew that, he wouldn¡¯t have thought of escaping. He would have definitely pit his life against Mo Wuji. Even if he couldn¡¯t eliminate Mo Wuji, it would still be good if he could heavily injure Mo Wuji. "Bang!" Qian Yisa, whose sea of consciousness had already been shattered by Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrow, was directly turned into meat juice under Mo Wuji¡¯s Domain Crushing Fist. Chapter 814: Feng Huang’s Decision Chapter 814: Feng Huang¡¯s Decision Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji grabbed the storage ring, then he pointed at the remaining people in Mifei Trade Union and said calmly, "From now on, Mifei Trade Union is completely disbanded. This piece of land now belongs to me. Everyone has ten breaths to get out of here. If anyone even dares to take a tiny strand of grass with you as you leave, I will kill without mercy." When Mo Wuji killed Qian Yisa, everyone in Mifei Trade Union felt their hearts shaking. Even the elders at the Immortal Emperor Stage didn¡¯t dare to utter a single word of nonsense. At this time, Mo Wuji had already disbanded Mifei Trade Union. Only a fool would stand forward and waste words. At almost the same instant that Mo Wuji announced that Mifei Trade Union was a thing of the past, everyone fled out of Mifei Trade Union. In a few breaths, they had already escaped into the distance. Ape Mo sighed, "Wuji, you¡¯re truly too kind. If it was me, I wouldn¡¯t have spared a single one of them. He did feel that Mo Wuji was being too kind. If this sort of incident happened in the Oblique Space Sea Island, all offenders would definitely have been massacred. Mo Wuji laughed, "Ape Mo, help me stand guard at West River Religious Order, then put it out for sale. I need to enter seclusion for a period of time." The reason why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t kill the people in Mifei Trade Union was that there really wasn¡¯t a need to do so. A trade union was different from a sect; a trade union was formed solely due to personal interests. The moment the trade union gets disbanded, these people would simply seek their interests elsewhere. No one would bear a grudge over who disbanded their previous trade union. Just now, when Qian Yisa was being suppressed by him, he didn¡¯t see anyone offering to help. From that, Mo Wuji knew that these were a bunch of crows that banded together based on their mutual interests. "Senior Mo¡­" Yan Wei suddenly walked in front of Mo Wuji and called him ¡®Senior¡¯ again. Mo Wuji was rather speechless. He didn¡¯t care too much about the salutations; however, since the disparity in cultivation got too wide, Yan Wei couldn¡¯t be as casual as him. "Yan Wei, if you have anything, just say it. We could be considered as friends after all," Mo Wuji waved his hand and said. Yan Wei hurriedly said, "After Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City got occupied by the Gods Race, more than a hundred thousand Human Race cultivators from the Immortal World were left with no place to go. Now, they have gathered on a piece of meteorite with little cultivation resources. I request that Senior Mo doesn¡¯t sell West River Religious Order¡¯s land, but let it be operated by our cultivators from the Immortal World¡­" "Yes Senior Mo, Senior Brother Yan¡¯s words are true. The Human Race cultivators from the Immortal World have gathered on that meteorite. It is hard to even survive, much less cultivate¡­" Nong Xiaoyu hurriedly added. Yan Wei, her and many others weren¡¯t willing to stay on that meteorite and slowly deplete their life force. This was why they took the risk to come to Cosmos Edge. In reality, even though they wanted to survive in Cosmos Edge, many immortals still died. If not for Mo Wuji, Yan Wei and she would have already died. It was exactly because of this, that Nong Xiaoyu came forward to speak for the cultivators of the Immortal World. Mo Wuji nodded, "Alright. Then Yan Wei and you will handle this matter. I will need to enter seclusion for a period of time. During this time, Ape Mo will be in charge." The reason why Mo Wuji was in a rush to enter seclusion wasn¡¯t simply because Mifei Trade Union had an immortal essence pond. More importantly, it was because he felt his own deficiencies. It was true that he could kill Dao Emperors; however, he wouldn¡¯t be able to face the encirclement of multiple Dao Emperors. And exactly how many Dao Emperors did the Gods Race have? Besides Dao Emperors, the Gods Race even had many Immortal Emperors, Immortal Reverents, Immortal Kings¡­ Ape Mo was clear about what Mo Wuji was thinking. Back when Mo Wuji was forced to escape Oblique Space Sea Island by Bao Bu, he entered seclusion for a few years. When he emerged, he was able to kill his way back into Oblique Space Sea Island. Mo Wuji probably felt his own insufficiencies, which was why Mo Wuji wanted to continue cultivating for a period of time. "Wuji, you can rest assured and enter seclusion. I can handle everything here," Ape Mo didn¡¯t hesitate to say. "This friend is right. Brother Mo can rest assured and enter seclusion. As long as I, Feng Huang, am still in Cosmos Edge, no one would dare to do anything to the people around Brother Mo," Feng Huang¡¯s voice came over. These years, his role as the Dao Lord had been difficult. Even though he was a Dao Lord, there were far too many people that didn¡¯t listen to him. Even during the previous trip to search for treasures, they didn¡¯t bring him along. Time time, Mo Wuji had slaughtered multiple Immortal Emperors from Cosmos Edge, it even included Grand Emperor Fei Hu. These were people that have gone against him. Now that they were gone, he only needed a short time to gain complete control over the Dao Lord Estate. Mo Wuji knew what Feng Huang was saying. Feng Huang was the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge. Even though he was not a Dao Emperor, he was still able to climb to such a position. This meant that he was not a simple person. "Many thanks, Brother Feng. I really do have a matter that I would like to request Brother Feng¡¯s help with." When Mo Wuji thought about how his secluded cultivation could take a long period of time, he didn¡¯t reject Feng Huang¡¯s attempts at befriending him. However, if Feng Huang was all talk and no action, then he would simply not continue interacting with Feng Huang. He only felt disgust towards such people. Feng Huang said loudly, "Brother Mo, please speak. As long as it¡¯s something that I, Feng Huang, can do, then I, Feng Huang, will definitely try my best." Mo Wuji said, "I believe that Brother Feng will definitely be able to do this. More than a hundred thousand of my Immortal World¡¯s Human Race cultivators have been living in a piece of meteorite. I hope that Brother Feng can help to find them a safe place to stay. When I come out of my seclusion, I will definitely show you my gratitude." When Mo Wuji comes out of seclusion, he was going to go to Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City. As for the Gods Race cultivators in Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City, hehe, they can¡¯t blame him for slaughtering them if they chose to stay behind. "Ah¡­" Feng Huang startled. It wasn¡¯t that he wasn¡¯t able to help, but this matter was truly too huge. If the number was in the thousands, then he would definitely help. But this was more than a hundred thousand. How was he, Feng Huang, going to help? There was indeed a large plot of land in Cosmos Edge. However, that piece of land was coveted by many people. It might look like Feng Huang controls that piece of land. However, Feng Huang didn¡¯t even have any rights to dictate who that land would belong to. As an increasing amount of cultivation resources flows into Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, Cosmos Edge would only get more and more crowded. Any relatively power race would eye that piece of land. Moreover, if he handed this piece of land to Mo Wuji, he would be publicly offending the Gods Race. The Gods Race was one of the most powerful sects. Even though he, Feng Huang, had a strong background, it was not strong to the point where he could contend against the Gods Race. Mo Wuji smiled indifferently, "If Dao Lord Feng feels that this is difficult, then forget about it." Feng Huang gritted his teeth; he already had a decision in his heart. He only needed to tell Mo Wuji about that piece of land. If the Human Race were the ones that take the initiative to stay there, then it would no longer be his fault. "It¡¯s not, actually¡­" Feng Huang¡¯s words got stuck in his throat. If this was any other cultivator, perhaps his half-hearted action might earn him a friend. But this was Mo Wuji; he was afraid this wasn¡¯t enough to befriend a person like Mo Wuji. To befriend a person like Mo Wuji, he had to be willing to bear some suffering and risk. If he only used his mouth without taking action, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain any benefits. Let¡¯s not talk about befriending one another; it would be difficult for him to even maintain good ties with Mo Wuji if he did such a thing. He was sure that if he said that the Human Race could occupy the plot of land and he would feign innocence, Mo Wuji would definitely understand his meaning. From then on, Mo Wuji would severe all possibilities of interaction. Those years ago, he wanted to help the Gods Race retain Mo Wuji. That was because Mo Wuji was truly too weak. He, Feng Huang, was also unable to resist the Gods Race. But now, Mo Wuji had single-handedly killed more than ten Immortal Emperors. Some weaker races didn¡¯t even have that many Immortal Emperors. "Brother Mo, there¡¯s indeed a place like that in Cosmos Edge. Many races want that place. I will take the responsibility to leave it for Brother Mo and the Human Race cultivators. However, I have some disgraceful words that I wish to say. If I do this, there would definitely be people that try to act against me. If that happens, I hope that Brother Mo wouldn¡¯t stand by the side." Feng Huang finally made his decision; if he wasn¡¯t willing to accept the consequences, then he could forget about befriending a person like Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji chuckled, pat Feng Huang¡¯s shoulder, then passed a communication bead to Feng Huang, "Feng Huang, you are indeed a friend worth befriending. Even though you base things based on your own self-interest, you are courageous enough to take action. If there¡¯s anything, feel free to directly contact me, Mo Wuji." "Haha, Wuji, obtaining this promise from you really isn¡¯t simple. You can rest assured enter your seclusion. Even if the experts from Gods Race come, they can¡¯t disregard me within Cosmos Edge." When Feng Huang heard that Mo Wuji considers him a friend, his heart was filled with glee. He had stayed at Cosmos Edge for so long. Even though his cultivation might not be the highest, he was able to obtain the position of the Dao Lord. This was because he was a knowledgeable and experienced person. He was sure that Mo Wuji would definitely have an incomparably bright future. Otherwise, a Dao Emperor like Ape Mo wouldn¡¯t follow by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. Moreover, Mo Wuji was so strong that he couldn¡¯t even be killed even when encircled by many experts. ¡­ In a corner of the void millions of miles away from Cosmos Edge, that was a huge meteorite floating in mid-space. The meteorite was protected by defensive arrays and there were cultivators continuously patrolling the borders. Dense amounts of spatial treasures and immortal estates could be seen on the meteorite. Ever since the Gods Race waged war on the Human Race¡¯s last immortal city in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, the Human Race was chased away with nowhere else to go. They could only follow under the leadership of three Immortal Emperors to this meteorite, and struggle on whilst at death¡¯s door. Everyone was clear that this meteorite wasn¡¯t a place they could stay for long. There was no need to talk about the Gods Race might continue to pursue them. Even if the Gods Race didn¡¯t come, this meteorite was tight and poor in immortal spiritual energy, so it wasn¡¯t a place where they could cultivate. Unfortunately, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos¡¯s vast void was filled with dangers. Anyone that left the meteorite faced an 80 to 90 percent chance of dying. Years have passed. Some Human Race cultivators could no longer bear life on this meteorite. They left and disappeared without a trace. It was possible to go to the Shattered Ruins, but any Human Race cultivator that approaches the Shattered Ruins would be slaughtered. The Gods Race had already placed many guards around the entrance of the Shattered Ruins. The only place they could go to was the Cosmos Edge. On the surface, the Cosmos Edge might seem like a fair place. At the very least, no one would directly lay hands on you. Even if they wanted to, the battle would have to be on the Dao Discussion Stage. If you disagree, you would have to leave Cosmos Edge. However, less than 10 percent of the immortals that went to Cosmos Edge survived. Most of them perished on the Dao Discussion Stage. A minute few were able to hide in the resthouses, but how long could they hide for? At this instant, there were three people in a hall at the centre of the meteorite. They were all furrowing their brows. Mo Wuji recognised two of them: one was Waterfall Immortal Sect¡¯s Immortal Empress Wen Lan and the other was Revolving Soul Dao¡¯s Lu Ziting. Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t recognise the last one, he was Virtual Qing Dao¡¯s Dao Lord Jie Ying. These three were Immortal Emperors. The reason why the cultivators from the Immortal World were able to survive was because these three led them to safety. But now, all three of them were very clear that if they didn¡¯t find a way out, they could only die if they stayed on this meteorite. Chapter 815: The Human Race Finally Has An Expert Chapter 815: The Human Race Finally Has An Expert Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I suggest that we go to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor. While that place seems like an extreme choice, at least we would be able to obtain some cultivation resources. That beats sitting here, waiting to die," Lu Ziting sighed, breaking the silence. "I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s very hard. Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor is a dog-eat-dog place. It¡¯s true that that place has plenty of cultivation resources, but it isn¡¯t a place suitable for cultivation. This is unless we leave Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor after we obtain cultivation resources. Otherwise, we would only get killed, or become weaker in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor," Virtual Qing Dao¡¯s Dao Lord Jie Ying shook his head. Lu Ziteng immediately said, "That¡¯s not necessarily the case. Those years ago, Sect head Mo was merely in the Immortal Reverent Stage. But wasn¡¯t he still able to lead an impressive life in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor? He even opened a pill house." Jie Ying said calmly, "Sect Head Lu, not everyone can be Sect Head Mo. Moreover, even though Sect Head Mo did things according to his wishes, what turned out of him? It¡¯s rumoured that he was killed by the Gods Race." "That¡¯s not right. According to the rumours I heard, Sect Head Mo killed a Dao Emperor from the Gods Race, then fled in a disguise," Lu Ziting did not hesitate to rebut. Back when Mo Wuji was only an Immortal King, he established Ping Fan. This had earned the admiration of Lu Ziting. Even though he knew that the rumours of Mo Wuji killing a Dao Emperor was definitely false, he didn¡¯t want to accept reality. Only when he was in a place like the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, that he realised the importance of an expert in the Human Race. Seeing that Jie Ying wanted to continue this argument, Wen Lan waved her hand and said, "Those years ago, I had the fortune of meeting Mo Wuji. It could be said that Mahesvara Immortal Domain¡¯s Brother Luo and I helped him. He shouldn¡¯t have died prematurely. I believe that he should be fine. However, the matter regarding Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor isn¡¯t practical. It might look like there is quite a number of survivors from our Human Race. But in reality, if we go to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor, it wouldn¡¯t take a few years before we go extinct¡­" Immortal Empress Wen Lan didn¡¯t finish speaking when she suddenly stood up. Glee could be seen on her face. "What¡¯s the matter?" Jie Ying and Lu Ziting asked at the same time. On this meteorite, surprise was common, but glee was not much so. Wen Lan explained, "My sect¡¯s Yan Wei has returned. I didn¡¯t expect that he would actually be able to return here¡­" Immortal Empress Wen Lan truly didn¡¯t expect this. None of the cultivators that left this meteorite ever returned. Wen Lan was also very helpless when Yan Wei was bent on leaving. She knew that even though it was likely that Yan Wei would perish, forcing him to stay behind would only cause Yan Wei¡¯s cultivation to stagnate at the intermediate Immortal King Stage. In reality, Yan Wei¡¯s talent is not bad. He was a person that had a high status within Waterfall Immortal Sect. Immortal Empress Wen Lan had even considered having Yan Wei as her heir. "Hurry and call him over and ask him about the condition in Cosmos Edge. And also ask him about what happened to my Virtual Qing Dao¡¯s Eight Star Genius Nong Xiaoyu," Jie Ying said anxiously. As they were stuck in this meteorite, they were only filled with despondency and helplessness. The disciples that left occasionally were their only strands of hope. They, themselves, were unable to leave this place. If they did, and should they perish, they deaths would be an equivalent to a death sentence to everyone else left on this meteorite. "There¡¯s no need. He is already walking over. That¡¯s not right¡­" Wen Lan¡¯s face changed slightly, ¡®There¡¯s an unfamiliar expert beside Yan Wei." "No matter who he is, we don¡¯t have anywhere else to go. Even if he forced Yan Wei to reveal this position, we are merely fishes caught in a net. There¡¯s nothing we can do." Jie Ying snorted. He also stood up. Wen Lan waved her hand, "That shouldn¡¯t be the case. I understand Yan Wei¡¯s character. Even if he was threatened death, he wouldn¡¯t betray the Human Race." "Sect Head, Senior Jie, Senior Lu, Junior Yan Wei has returned." Yan Wei¡¯s voice resounded from the entrance of the hall. Excitement and eagerness could be heard in his voice. "Hurry in." Wen Lan was also very eager. She was actually unable to see through the cultivation of the tall man next to Yan Wei. "Yes." As Yan Wei was speaking, he brought the 2-meter tall man in with him. The moment they entered the hall, Yan Wei bowed and introduced, "Sect Head, seniors, this is Senior Ape Mo. Senior Ape has received the request of Sect Head Mo to bring our Human Race survivors to Cosmos Edge¡­" "Wait¡­" Immortal Empress Wen Lan, Lu Ziting and Jie Ying seemed to cry out at the same time. There was too much going on in Yan Wei¡¯s words. And Yan Wei¡¯s words were too shocking. Received Sect Head¡¯s Mo¡¯s request? Bring the Human Race survivors to Cosmos Edge? "Yan Wei, which Sect Head Mo are you referring to?" Wen Lan finally asked. Yan Wei calmed himself down, then he hurriedly explained, "Sect Head Mo is Pill Emperor Mo. He is Mo Wuji." "Mo Wuji is actually fine?" Immortal Empress Wen Lan said elatedly. She did have a favourable impression towards Mo Wuji, otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have shown him her waterfall, allowing Mo Wuji to gain deeper insights into his Winding River. "Haha, how could anything happen to Wuji? Those little shrimp in Cosmos Edge aren¡¯t enough to do anything to Wuji." Ape Mo chuckled. He did not have a filter over his words. Yan Wei hurriedly explained, "Senior Ape Mo is a Dao Emperor. He was entrusted by Sect Head Mo to escort me here¡­" Dao Emperor? Even though a Dao Emperor was merely another Immortal Emperor in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, but to Wen Lan and co., a Dao Emperor was a lofty existence that they were unable to reach. They didn¡¯t have the opportunity like Mo Wuji to kill more than one Dao Emperor. Moreover, they frequently receive propaganda from the Very High Heavens about the peerlessness of Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. This only fostered a deep sense of reverence in their hearts towards Dao Emperors. If not for Zi Changluo¡¯s action of severing the path towards Very High Heavens, their admiration towards Dao Emperors would only be greater. "Greeting Senior Ape." The three Immortal Emperors gradually regained their countenance. They forcefully suppressed their astonishment and bowed towards Ape Mo. Ape Mo waved his hand and said, "You guys are being too courteous. Wuji especially said that Wen Lan is his senior sister. It¡¯s enough for the few of you to call me by my name or Brother Ape." "Senior¡¯s cultivation far exceeds ours. How can we address senior like so?" Jie Ying hurriedly explained. When they felt that Ape Mo wasn¡¯t an unapproachable Dao Emperor, the three of them immediately felt slightly relieved. "Haha, I merely have little more insights towards the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, and have a little more elemental energy. Even Wuji himself has killed many Dao Emperors. It¡¯s better for the few of you address me on an equal level of seniority," Ape Mo chuckled and waved his hand. "Sect Head Mo has really killed Dao Emperors?" Lu Ziting muttered in shock. Honestly, even he believed that the rumours of Mo Wuji killing a Dao Emperor were false. However, such rumours bolstered the morale of the Human Race cultivators, so he continued to let it spread. By the side, Yan Wei hurriedly said, "Sect Head Lu, this matter is true. I personally saw Sect Head Mo kill Mifei Trade Union¡¯s Dao Emperor Qian Yisa¡­" "What?" Even Wen Lan stood up in shock. She even forgot that there was a Dao Emperor standing by the side. Her voice was trembling as she said, "Yan Wei, you said that Sect Head Mo killed Dao Emperor Qian Yisa?" Mo Wuji was indeed not bad. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have viewed him so highly those years ago. But even so, in Wen Lan¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji would need hundreds or even a thousand years before he could become an Immortal Emperor? But how long had it been since then? Mo Wuji could already kill Dao Emperors? "Yes, Sect Head," Yan Wei answered." "Hurry and explain what happened." This time, before Wen Lan could say anything, Jie Ying was the one who couldn¡¯t hold back his curiosity. He even momentarily forgot to ask about Nong Xiaoyu¡¯s situation. Yan Wei said respectfully, "After Junior Sister Xiaoyu and I arrived at Cosmos Edge, we found that it was true that the Human Race cultivators wouldn¡¯t have any place to survive. When I arrived, I heard that Human Race cultivators that come to Cosmos Edge would not last three days before being challenged to the Dao Discussion Stage. Indeed, I was challenged. So was Junior Sister Xiaoyu. I knew that if we accepted the challenge, then we would definitely die. That was why I secretly left Cosmos Edge. I wanted to relay the message not to go to Cosmos Edge. Just as I left Cosmos Edge, an expert from Gods Race noticed me. Even though I had a talisman, I was still unable to escape. It was in the void that I met Sect Head Mo. Sect Head Mo killed that Gods Race Immortal King that pursued me then followed me to Cosmos Edge¡­" "Then what happened?" Jie Ying was rather anxious. Nong Xiaoyu was a genius disciple of the Virtual Qing Dao. The Virtual Qing Dao had spent many resources to nurture Nong Xiaoyu. It would be a huge loss if Nong Xiaoyu died on the Dao Discussion Stage. "When we arrived at Cosmos Edge, Junior Sister Nong was discussing the dao with a Grand Luo Immortal from West River Religious Order. Junior Sister Nong Xiaoyu managed to obtain the upper hand, but an Immortal Reverent from West River Religious Order actually tried to interfere. As a result, that Immortal Reverent was killed by Sect Head Mo. Thereafter, an Immortal Emperor from West River Religious Order came, and he was killed by Sect Head Mo with a single fist¡­" "Good! Good kill!" As Lu Ziteng heard the story, his heart started to boil. He clapped and said, "Our Immortal World is exactly lacking this sort of expert to lead us." Everyone knew what Lu Ziteng was talking about. He was scolding Zi Changluo for not being suitable to control the Very High Heavens and lead the entire Immortal World. Lu Ziteng was indeed scolding Zi Changluo. Ever since the Gods Race assailed the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City, he, Lu Ziteng, had been holding in this resentment. If they had someone like Sect Head Mo to lead them in battle, then he wouldn¡¯t have regrets even if he was killed. "I didn¡¯t expect that 15 Immortal Emperors would suddenly appear and encircle Sect Head Mo. Among them, was Grand Emperor Fei Hu. Regardless, Mo Wuji released one sacred art after another, directly killing these 15 Immortal Emperors. Thereafter, he killed West River Religious Order¡¯s An Xuecheng. Finally, he went to Mifei Trade Union to kill Qian Yisa. He disbanded Mifei Trade Union and passed West River Religious Order¡¯s land to us. He is currently in secluded cultivation within Mifei Trade Union¡­" "Good!" Even Jie Ying couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. Any Immortal Emperor that could come to Cosmos Edge was experienced with battles and war. Mo Wuji was actually able to kill 17 of such Immortal Emperors, and even a Dao Emperor. How strong was that? Now, Lu Ziteng and him had the same thought. They hated themselves for not being in Cosmos Edge. If they could fight side by side with Sect Head Mo, it would have been more than a million times better than fighting for a person like Zi Changluo. Only in a place like Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos did the importance of a true expert really matter. Now, an expert has finally appeared in the Human Race. Chapter 816: Refining Kun Wu Chapter 816: Refining Kun Wu Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "After Sect Head Mo disbanded Mifei Trade Union, the other powers in Cosmos Edge actually didn¡¯t come forward. Moreover, Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Lord Feng Huang took the initiative to befriend Sect Head Mo. In fact, Sect Head Mo had requested the help of Dao Lord Feng Huang in the settling of our Human Race in Cosmos Edge. Senior Ape Mo is Sect Head Mo''s friend and he has been entrusted by Sect Head Mo to bring us over. By now, Sect Head Mo should have already started his secluded cultivation." Yan Wei said all these in a single breath before he finally slowed down. "Could Sect Head Mo be injured?" Jie Ying asked anxiously when he heard that Mo Wuji had entered seclusion. The safety of the Human Race in Cosmos Edge depended greatly on an expert like Mo Wuji; thus, Jie Ying was rather concerned about Mo Wuji''s situation. Immortal Empress Wen Lan sighed emotionally, "It seems like I had underestimated him. Dao Lord Jie, there''s no need to worry. I''m sure that Junior Brother Mo isn''t injured. If I''m not wrong, the purpose of his seclusion should be to prepare himself to wrest back the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City." "Hahahaha¡­" Hearing Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s words, Lu Ziting could not help but chuckle loudly. He had wanted to kill those Gods Race b*stards for a long time. Finally, there''s someone to lead the charge. He wanted to tell everyone from the Gods Race that he, Lu Ziting, was also a hot-blooded warrior; he wasn''t a coward that only knew how to flee and retreat. Those years ago, he could only watch helplessly as countless of Immortal World cultivators got massacred by the Gods Race. If he, Lu Ziting, didn''t take his revenge, his dao heart would be affected. "Let''s go, let''s hurry to Cosmos Edge. What are we waiting for? When Sect Head Mo goes to reclaim our immortal city, I, Lu Ziting, will be the first one to charge in with him," Lu Ziting said straightforwardly. Immortal Empress Wen Lan and Jie Ying did not hesitate to agree with Lu Ziting''s words. The Human Race had been trapped on this meteorite with nowhere else to go. Now that Mo Wuji had some speaking rights within Cosmos Edge, they would naturally go to Cosmos Edge. Firstly, they would be able to gain a proper place to stay. Secondly, they would be able to support Mo Wuji; they definitely couldn''t let Mo Wuji fight for the Human Race alone. ... When the Human Race cultivators on the meteorite heard that they could leave this place and go to Cosmos Edge, they all cheered and celebrated. If they continued staying on this meteorite, only death would start them. Many already considered leaving this place; now that they received this piece of good news, no one wanted to waste a single bit of time. If it was a hundred thousand ordinary people, then relocation would probably require many days. However, these people were all Xuan Immortals and above. Only a simple order was needed, and everyone was ready to speed off. In the shortest time possible, these over hundred thousand people entered a huge flying ship. Just as Lu Ziting controlled this flying ship to leave the meteorite, they were blocked by multiple small ships. "They Immortal Emperors from the Gods Race¡­" Jie Ying had battled with the Gods Race far too many times. The moment those flying ships'' arrived, he was able to recognise them as Gods Race''s Immortal Emperors. Seven Immortal Emperors formed a single row in front of the huge flying ship. The leader, a middle-aged man, snickered and said, "Everyone, there''s no hurry to leave. Just stay here for another year. In fact, there''s no need to wait another year. Our Gods Race will soon come and invite everyone to be our guests." Lu Ziting charged to the deck. When Jie Ying, Wen Lan and him heard those words, they immediately knew that the reason why they were able to live on this meteorite so peacefully wasn''t because the Gods Race hadn''t found them. Instead, it was because the Gods Race wanted to wait for a period of time. The three of them glanced at one another meaningfully. They were clear of the Gods Race intentions; the Gods Race definitely wouldn''t be inviting them over to be guests. "What are you inviting us over for?" Immortal Empress Wen Lan asked calmly. She wanted to know why the Gods Race needed to wait for a period of time before they could act. "What? Of course it''s for something good." This Gods Race Immortal Emperor snickered once more. Ape Mo knew that there was a huge enmity between Mo Wuji and the Gods Race. He couldn''t be bothered to waste any more time. He directly stepped out of the flying ship and swung his Wolf Fang Mace. There were seven Immortal Emperors here, but only one of them was in the late Immortal Emperor Stage. The rest were either in the early or intermediate stages. Even though he, Ape Mo, wasn''t as powerful as Mo Wuji, he did not have to fear these puny Immortal Emperors. At almost the same instant as Ape Mo, Lu Ziting and co. charged out as well. No matter the relationship between Mo Wuji and Ape Mo, Ape Mo was ultimately still a guest. They couldn''t allow the guest to act while they, the hosts, watch, right? Ape Mo''s domain surged out strongly. In an instant, these Gods Race Immortal Emperors knew what was going on; this was the domain of a Dao Emperor. There were only seven of them. If they faced a Dao Emperor and three Immortal Emperors, wouldn''t that be equivalent to courting their deaths? "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several domains clashed against one another. Two early-stage Immortal Emperors didn''t even have the chance to make a move before they were crushed by Ape Mo''s Wolf Fang Mace. As for that late stage Immortal Emperor, he received special attention from Ape Mo. This was the first time that Ape Mo used his Spatial Imprisonment since Mo Wuji taught it to him. Before that late stage Immortal Emperor could bring out his magic treasure, he was sealed in place by Ape Mo. At the very next instant, his brains were smashed in by Ape Mo¡¯s Wolf Fang Mace. The remaining four Immortal Emperors tried to escape, but Lu Ziting and co. weren¡¯t there for show. The three of them were heads of their sects after all; they were able to suppress three Immortal Emperors. As for that intermediate stage Immortal Emperor that fled, he didn¡¯t get far before he was caught up by Ape Mo. By the time Ape Mo returned, Immortal Empress Wen Lan had already killed that early stage Immortal Emperor that she was battling with, and was currently helping Jie Ying. At one go, Ape Mo used two Spatial Imprisonment. The two remaining Immortal Emperors were easily cut down. "Senior Brother Ape¡¯s insights towards the Laws of Space is far from what we can ever reach." To be able to kill seven Immortal Emperors that easily, Wen Lan and co. felt deep admiration for Ape Mo. At the same time, a deeper sense of fear towards Dao Emperors rose in their hearts. Even though they helped, most of the work was done by Ape Mo. If they were the subjects of Ape Mo¡¯s Spatial Imprisonment, then like those Immortal Emperors, they could only face death. Ape Mo chuckled and said, "I merely understand a scratch of the Laws of Space. The one with the truly profound understandings towards the Laws of Space isn¡¯t me, but Wuji. In fact, the one who taught me this scratch was Wuji. He¡¯s the most talented cultivator I know." "Ah¡­" Wen Lan and co. were instantly excited. Ape Mo¡¯s use of the Laws of Space had left their hearts cold. If Ape Mo¡¯s understandings were imparted by Mo Wuji, then wouldn¡¯t they also be able to request Mo Wuji to teach them as well? Wen Lan was more cognizant of Mo Wuji¡¯s character; she knew that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a petty person. "Let¡¯s rush off to Cosmos Edge. Gods Race shouldn¡¯t know that we have left. If the Gods Race experts get wind of it, even if we manage to flee, we would have to pay a price," Jie Ying recovered his countenance and said hurriedly. "Alright." Wen Lan and Lu Ziting agreed strongly. The Gods Race must definitely be planning something huge if they wanted to trap the Human Race on that meteorite. But now, the Human Race finally had an expert to lead them. As long as they could find Mo Wuji, they could find hope. ¡­ Mo Wuji had installed peak grade defensive arrays around Mifei Trade Union¡¯s territory. At this instant, Mo Wuji was currently sitting within Mifei Trade Union¡¯s deepest cultivation room. Even though it¡¯s called a cultivation room, there was only an immortal essence pond here. Mo Wuji had seen immortal essence ponds before, but it was rare to see a peak grade one like the one in Mifei Trade Union. Mists of immortal spiritual energy floated above the immortal essence pond. Mo Wuji knew that if placed some extreme grade immortal veins here and used some green crystals, he would definitely be able to reach the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage in a few years. However, Mo Wuji also knew that he didn¡¯t have years of time. Perhaps the Gods Race already know about his arrival at Cosmos Edge. That would mean that his war with the Gods Race was imminent. The main purpose in this seclusion was to refine the Kun Wu Sword. The reason why he chose to refine the Kun Wu Sword now was sparked by the Book of Luo. During that encirclement by 15 Immortal Emperors, he would have been heavily injured if not for those two pages of the Book of Luo. The Book of Luo had prevented him from heavy injuries; this clearly showed the importance of Xiantian treasures. This also gave Mo Wuji some confidence as he didn¡¯t only have two pages of the Book of Luo, but six. Additionally, his Spiritual Will Arrow couldn¡¯t be dodged even by a Dao Emperor like Qian Yisa. It was able to directly shatter Qian Yisa¡¯s sea of consciousness. Ostensibly, this showed the power of spiritual will attacks. He had his violet lake and his Book of Luo. If he also had his Kun Wu Sword, he would have an additional layer of protection, especially if he was facing an expert that also used spiritual will attacks. Moreover, Kun Wu Sword was also a peak grade attack-type treasure. When he goes to exterminate the Gods Race, he would require such a treasure. Because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t cultivate the sword, he didn¡¯t study Kun Wu in detail after he obtained it. This was the first time he actually took a close look at Kun Wu Sword. Kun Wu was 3 feet and 1 inch long. It didn¡¯t have a sword guard and a sword knob, but it did have a sword hilt. Its body was fully grey; it didn¡¯t have the splendour of an ancient sword at all. Mo Wuji casually waved the sword; it was like an ordinary longsword. It didn¡¯t even exude any dao aura. However, Mo Wuji did not mind. He was cultivating the Mortal Dao after all; didn¡¯t he look like an ordinary mortal but was still able to kill Dao Emperors? Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will slowly penetrated into Kun Wu. What shocked him was that he seemed to encounter the Great Way of Hua Gong. [1] The Kun Wu Sword suddenly erupted with power. This power seemed to surge like waves, violently sweeping away his spiritual will. Facing such an unexpected situation, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with shock as he hurriedly tried to retract his spiritual will. However, he was soon shocked still; he was completely unable to recover his spiritual will. Not only that, his spiritual will was being sucked away at a faster rate. Possession? Could there be a primordial spirit hidden within the Kun Wu Sword? That¡¯s not right. Mo Wuji soon rejected that thought. This definitely wasn¡¯t an act of possession. From the looks of it, this Kun Wu Sword was rather peculiar. However, even if it was any more peculiar, it was dreaming if it thought it could suck Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will dry. Previously, when Mo Wuji was fighting against the 15 Immortal Emperors, he almost depleted his spiritual will. That¡¯s when his violet lake erupted with stronger spiritual will. Because of that, his sea of consciousness expanded and his spiritual will got stronger. Since this Kun Wu Sword wanted to suck his spiritual will, then he would have to see whether his spiritual will was stronger, or this Kun Wu was stronger. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer tried to retract his spiritual will. Instead, his spiritual will surged towards Kun Wu Sword like a silver river. Not only that, he even sent his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will towards Kun Wu Sword. [1] This is an attack from Jin Yong¡¯s novel. It is a move which sucks other¡¯s internal energy and make it your own. Chapter 817: Both Are Destruction Chapter 817: Both Are Destruction Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations With such an extravagant use of spiritual will, even if Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was any stronger, it didn¡¯t take two hours for Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness to start drying up. This time, Mo Wuji did not wait for his violet lake to spontaneously replenish his spiritual will. Instead, he popped some Zhi Nature Pills and started circulating his Star Sea Sacred Technique. As expected, the moment his Star Sea Sacred Technique began circulating, his violet lake started to rapidly replenish his spiritual will. Once again, Mo Wuji could clearly feel his sea of consciousness expanding and his spiritual will getting stronger. "Kacha!" A light crisp sound rang. Mo Wuji felt as though a bridge had been formed between him and the Kun Wu Sword. He felt a clear resonance with the Kun Wu Sword, and he immediately sensed a terrifying killing intent within. I managed to refine the first level of seals of the Kun Wu Sword just like that? Mo Wuji was very confused. Even though he knew that his current abilities were more than a hundredfold higher than what he used to be, the Kun Wu Sword should be a treasure on the same level as the Book of Luo. He should have taken at least one or two days to refine its first level of seals, right? But how long had it been? It¡¯s only been two hours. Moreover, he didn¡¯t even use proper refining methods. He only sent large amounts of his spiritual will into the Kun Wu Sword. At this time, the Kun Wu Sword was still furiously sucking away at Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. Not that the first layer of seals had been refined, Mo Wuji began to release his spiritual will with a greater lack of restraint. At the same time, he continuously consumed Zhi Nature Pills and revolved his Star Sea Sacred Technique. Every time his spiritual will got depleted and replenished, Mo Wuji would feel his sea of consciousness expanding and his spiritual will receiving a qualitative improvement. However, the second level of seals of the Kun Wu Sword seemed to be as deep as an ocean; he was completely unable to sense an end. Multiple days later, Mo Wuji forcefully stopped his refining of the Kun Wu Sword. Fortunately, after refining the first level of the Kun Wu Sword, he could stop sending his spiritual will in. Otherwise, he would probably be sucked dry. The violet lake in his sea of consciousness could replenish his spiritual will, but it could not replenish his vital essence. The refined Kun Wu Sword floated in front of Mo Wuji; it didn¡¯t look much different from before. In fact, it might have turned greyer and dimmer. Mo Wuji, however, could feel a tyrannical energy within the sword. He even suspected that with a single thought, his Kun Wu Sword could destroy an Immortal Domain of the Immortal World. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to stand up, a sword intent suddenly appeared in his spiritual will. This sword intent contained a ruthless grandeur and an energy of destruction. Even though Mo Wuji was ordinary, that sword intent of destruction still flooded into him and filled his entire being. At this instant, the ordinary him seemed to exude the aura of a sharp sword capable of devouring the heavens. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart raced. He immediately came to a realisation; this was one of the powers of the Kun Wu Sword. He didn¡¯t know exactly how many later of seals there were within the Kun Wu Sword. However, he gained a faint understanding that with every layer of seals he refined, he would obtain a sword intent within his spiriitual will. Mo Wuji released a breath of cold air. He could feel the might within this sword intent. He was sure that if he used this sword intent, it would be even stronger than his Seven World Finger. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the least bit happy. When he started refining the Kun Wu Sword, it was because he wanted to use the Kun Wu Sword as a means of attack; he wanted the Kun Wu Sword to be his magic treasure or weapon. He did not intend for the Kun Wu Sword to leave behind a sword intent within his sea of consciousness which might not even be able to be controlled when stimulated. This sword intent was strong, but it was definitely not what he needed. He, Mo Wuji, did not need anything that he couldn¡¯t control to appear within his spiritual will or body. Refine for me! At almost the same instant this destructive sword intent appeared within his sea of consciousness, Mo Wuji¡¯s boundless spiritual will swept towards it. His spiritual will enveloped this sword intent and tried to refine it. However, reality left Mo Wuji in shock. Just as his spiritual will enveloped it, this sword intent released a terrifying sword light, directly slicing his spiritual will in half. An intense sensation of pain pervaded through his entire body. Mo Wuji opened his mouth and an arrow of blood shot out. As he consumed a few Zhi Nature Pills, Mo Wuji had an unpleasant expression on his face. If he knew that the Kun Wu Sword was so terrifying, he would rather not refine it. All his six pages of the Book of Luo were brought into his sea of consciousness. After using the six pages to form a barrier in the space around this sword intent, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to send his Scholar¡¯s Heart to his sea of consciousness and assail this sword intent. Expectedly, the moment his Scholar¡¯s Heart touched this sword intent, this sword intent reacted violently. A sword light, even more powerful than before, shot forth. It ran rampage within Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had made his preparations; this sword light was blocked by the Book of Luo. Mo Wuji panted slightly. He could feel his Scholar¡¯s Heart slowly burning the ruthlessness and destructiveness within the sword intent. However, the speed it was doing so was too slow. Scholar¡¯s Heart¡¯s grade was too low. Mo Wuji opened his hand and Scholar¡¯s Heart appeared on his palm. There were seven faint fire sprouts within Scholar¡¯s Heart; this was the sign of a Grade 7 immortal flame. Back then, Mo Wuji tried to use the primal fire crystals to help his Scholar¡¯s Heart advance, but it was unable to advance beyond Grade 7. It wasn¡¯t because the primal fire crystal wasn¡¯t powerful enough, but because the Laws of the Heaven and Earth over that area were saturated. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation and spiritual will were limited, restricting his Scholar¡¯s Heart from evolving any further. But now, his cultivation was already at the early Immortal Emperor Stage and there was also an immortal essence pond here. He believed that the Scholar¡¯s Heart should be able to evolve. Mo Wuji retrieved his primal fire crystal. Surrounded by the rich immortal spiritual energy from the immortal essence pond, the fire sprouts within the Scholar¡¯s Heart opened and swept the primal fire crystal away. A searing hot energy appeared. Mo Wuji felt that the spiritual energy from the immortal essence pond was like river water from a burst dam; it flooded into his Scholar¡¯s Heart. After two hours, the primal fire crystal suddenly dropped. A verdant flame appeared in front of Mo Wuji; the number of sprouts within the core of the flame went from seven to nine. Mo Wuji could clearly feel that the temperature of his Scholar¡¯s Heart was multiple folds more than what it used to be. He was clear his Scholar¡¯s Heart had advanced to Grade 9. This should be the max that it could go. If he wanted to continue evolving his flame, he would probably have to find a place with richer immortal spiritual energy. Mo Wuji turned to the primal fire crystal and sighed emotionally. Even after advancing the Scholar¡¯s Heart to a Grade 9 immortal flame, he actually didn¡¯t feel a significant loss of energy within the primal fire crystal. This primal fire crystal was truly too heaven-defying, and he actually had 11 of such crystals. As for the immortal essence pond below him, it no longer had the splendour that it had before. Most of its immortal spiritual energy had been sucked away by the Scholar¡¯s Heart. After keeping his primal fire crystal, Mo Wuji turned back to that sword intent in his sea of consciousness. When Mo Wuji recalled his Scholar¡¯s Heart, that sword intent went back silent. But now that the Scholar¡¯s Heart assailed it again, this sword intent turned violent. Boundless sword qi ran rampage within his sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started pounding in fear. If he didn¡¯t have the six pages of the Book of Luo, would the terrifying might of the sword qi destroy his sea of consciousness and turn him into an idiot? "Chi!" Sounds rang from that destructive sword intent; it seemed like something was getting burned by the Scholar¡¯s Heart. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, he could tell that the Scholar¡¯s Heart was burning at a rate which was ten times faster than before. As the Scholar¡¯s Heart continued to burn, that baleful and destructive energy gradually got refined. An enlightenment suddenly appeared within his mind. Mo Wuji immediately closed his eyes and started circulating his Immortal Mortal Technique. As the sword intent gradually got refined and as that baleful and destructive energy disappeared, that sword intent exuded an aura of majesty and boundlessness. With his Immortal Mortal Technique, this majesty was converted to ordinariness. After an unknown amount of time, Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. That destructive sword intent disappeared; there was no longer a trace of it within his sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji¡¯s aura reverted back to its ordinary state; it wasn¡¯t suffocating and overwhelming anymore. As for the Kun Wu Sword, it also disappeared. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, a faint sword-shaped scar appeared on his wrist. After successfully refining the first level of seals of the Kun Wu Sword, Mo Wuji was very clear that this was the Kun Wu Sword. The first sword intent of the Kun Wu Sword was still present. However, it had become something that he could control. If he wished it, he could allow this sword intent to transform into a majestic and boundless sword intent. It was no longer that suffocating sword intent of destruction. No wonder why Bai Ye wanted the Kun Wu Sword. If this majestic sword intent could be controlled, wouldn¡¯t Bai Ye get insanely strong? At this point, Mo Wuji laughed in his heart. He was actually helping that b*stard by not letting him have the Kun Wu Sword. The first level of seals of the Kun Wu Sword was already so terrifying; Bai Ye probably couldn¡¯t refine it. Even if Bai Ye was able to refine the first level, he would only be a slave for the Kun Wu Sword in its quest for destruction. He did not believe that Bai Ye had his powerful sea of consciousness and enough Zhi Nature Pills. Bai Ye wouldn¡¯t even have the Star Sea Sacred Technique. Taking millions of steps back, even if Bai Ye had all that, he still wouldn¡¯t have the Book of Luo and a Grade 9 immortal flame. Perhaps, there were really few that were like Mo Wuji and could control the Kun Wu Sword. In his perspective, he was merely at the beginning of refining the true first level of the Kun Wu Sword. The true refining of the first level was to refine that destructiveness. That way, it might actually become an equipment spirit or even a killing machine. A new enlightenment suddenly appeared in Mo Wuji¡¯s mind: The reason why the Heaven and Earth could be destroyed is because there¡¯s a power that¡¯s above the Heaven and Earth. For example, that destructive sword intent of the Kun Wu Sword¡­ Mo Wuji could no longer hold back his agitation. He lifted his hand and a finger shot forward. This finger destroyed all seals within Mifei Trade Union. It directly shattered all arrays of Cosmos Edge. The entire World of Man was within the control of this finger. This was just the beginning. The World of Man is the fostering of life. When fate reaches its peak, this finger would burst forth with greater power. Heaven and Earth have disappeared. At this instant, there was only destruction. At this moment, Mo Wuji wanted to roar. He could finally control his Second World Killer - Heaven and Earth. They were both Destruction. However, this finger of destruction could be controlled, but Kun Wu¡¯s destructive sword intent still couldn¡¯t. Chapter 818: Or What? Chapter 818: Or What? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji retracted his finger contentedly. This was when he discovered that the area around him had turned to rubble. "Wuji, this is too¡­" Feng Huang''s voice sounded over; he had a helpless expression on his face. He couldn''t have expected that Mo Wuji would cause such a shock the moment he emerged from his seclusion. It wasn''t that bad if he destroyed Mifei Trade Union, after all, Mifei Trade Union was Mo Wuji''s territory right now. However, to tear the defensive array of Cosmos Edge itself, this was not a dismissible matter. "Apologies, apologies. I was too careless just now." Even though he might say that, Mo Wuji didn''t really feel a hint of remorse. Back then, he had gained enlightenment of the Seven World Finger''s Second World Killer, Heaven and Earth. If he didn''t try it out immediately, it wouldn''t feel right. Moreover, Mo Wuji didn''t really care since he was in Cosmos Edge. Countless of Human Race cultivators had died in Cosmos Edge; currently, he was afraid that no one would come and confront him. Ultimately, slaughter was the only way to redivide the interests and boundaries within Cosmos Edge. Additionally, he had intentionally torn Cosmos Edge''s defensive array. As the saying goes: The new won''t come if the old remains. He wanted to install a new array over Cosmos Edge, so he had to find an excuse to destroy the existing one. If he had to constantly live under the array of other''s, he, Mo Wuji, wouldn''t be at ease. Feng Huang suddenly transmitted, "The Human Race cultivators have already arrived at Cosmos Edge, and I have made suitable arrangements. When they arrived, there was intense opposition by the Vampiric Race, Sea Race and Gods Race. Even though I tried my best to obstruct them, they still killed more than ten thousand Human Race cultivators. I originally wanted to call you, but I was afraid that it would affect your enlightenment into your sacred art. Fortunately, Ape Mo and my Dao Lord Estate were there. Those people are slightly afraid of you, so they temporarily stopped." While there were arrays around Mo Wuji when he was gaining enlightenment into his sacred art, the overwhelming aura could still be felt from the outside. Feng Huang wanted for Mo Wuji''s sacred art to get even stronger, and coupled with the fact that the other powers were still within his control, he chose not to interrupt Mo Wuji''s seclusion. Just as Feng Huang finished speaking, ten over experts appeared in front of Mifei Trade Union. Anger rose in Mo Wuji''s heart. Although Ape Mo and him had killed close to 20 Immortal Emperors, it still wasn''t enough to prevent these fellas from killing his Human Race cultivators. From the looks of it, his methods weren''t fierce enough; he would need to take tougher actions. Concealing his killing intent, Mo Wuji casually swept across this crowd with his spiritual will. He immediately knew that among these ten over experts, there were 3 Dao Emperors, 5-6 Grand Emperors, and the rest were all late-stage Immortal Emperors. Mo Wuji didn''t even see a single early or intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. Previously, no one showed up when Mo Wuji disbanded Mifei Trade Union and destroyed West River Religious Order. But the moment he tore Cosmos Edge''s array, a whole gang arrived. A tall red-haired man landed in front of Mo Wuji, clasped his fists and said, "House Master Mo, we understand that your sacred arts are staggering. We are also extremely welcome of your arrival in Cosmos Edge. But you can''t just destroy Cosmos Edge''s defensive array the moment you arrived, right? We understand your grudge against the Gods Race, but there are also other races within Cosmos Edge. We request that House Master Mo gives us an explanation, or¡­" Mo Wuji had fought with the Vampiric Race''s peak grade expert Xue Lu before. The moment this tall red-haired man stood forward, Mo Wuji knew that this was an expert from the Vampiric Race. This fella''s cultivation should be above the Grand Emperor Stage; he was an existence on the level of Dao Emperors. "This is the Vampiric Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Ni Kai," Feng Huang transmitted. "Or what? You will lay hands on me?" Mo Wuji said coldly, his aura rising steadily. Even if the experts from the Vampiric Race didn''t come, he would be the one to go after them. Even after he, Mo Wuji, returned, they still killed more than ten thousand Human Race cultivators in Cosmos Edge. Was he, Mo Wuji, such an amiable person? In a place like Cosmos Edge, only those with big fists would be allowed to talk. Otherwise, even if you kneel and beg, no one would pity you. Ni Kai¡¯s expression changed slightly; he didn¡¯t expect for Mo Wuji to not show them any face. Before he could speak, another Dao Emperor stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Fellow daoists of Cosmos Edge, from the looks of it, House Master Mo wants to use his powers to forcefully occupy Cosmos Edge. A few days ago, he relocated more than a hundred thousand Human Race cultivators; and now, he publicly destroyed Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array. Cosmos Edge belongs to everyone; I hope that everyone can stand with Dao Emperor Ni Kai and me to see exactly how strong this arrogant House Master Mo¡¯s sacred arts are." Multiple experts came forward and stood beside the two Dao Emperors; they stared fiercely at Mo Wuji. Even though no one made a move, the space around them had already been filled with the overlapping domains of these experts. "Wuji, I, Ape Mo, have arrived." The tall Ape Mo directly landed in between them. The moment Ape Mo entered, the pressure from the domains instantly weakened significantly. "And I, Lu Ziting!" "I, Jie Ying!" "I, Cen Qinlan!" Three figures landed by Mo Wuji¡¯s side. With the exception of Jie Ying, Mo Wuji recognised Lu Ziting and Immortal Empress Wen Lan. Mo Wuji nodded contentedly towards the three. After which, he stared at the experts in front of him and said, "Previously, I accidentally broke Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array because of a breakthrough in my cultivation. I¡¯m sorry about this, and I will mend the defensive array later. Anyone that doesn¡¯t intend to become enemies with my Human Race, please step back. Of course, those that killed my Human Race cultivators in Cosmos Edge previously, there¡¯s no need to step back. Because even if you do, I will still kill you." When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, several Immortal Emperors and Grand Emperors, that were hesitating previously, swiftly stepped back. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji could easily kill Dao Emperors, the sheer amount of Immortal Emperors killed by Mo Wuji was staggering. If they weren¡¯t able to kill this person today, then they would be bringing a calamity down to their own race. Moreover, no one here was a fool; who didn¡¯t know that the Gods Race was trying to make use of them? If the Gods Race could oppress Mo Wuji, then they wouldn¡¯t mind being used. However, the reality was that the Gods Race wasn¡¯t able to do that. Thus, no one was willing to continue being manipulated. If the Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array was still intact, perhaps they could try ganging up on Mo Wuji. But now, the defensive array had been torn apart by Mo Wuji. Whether he did it intentionally or not, it still remains a fact that this increased the difficulty in killing Mo Wuji. Moreover, Mo Wuji still had three Immortal Emperors and a Dao Emperor by his side. Coupled with the fact that Dao Lord Feng Huang was on Mo Wuji¡¯s side, who would be willing to take the risk. Seeing the Dao Emperor of the Demon Race step back, the Dao Emperor of the Vampiric Race started to have some regrets. He felt like he had been screwed over by the Gods Race. Previously, with the permission of Feng Huang, more than hundred thousand Human Race cultivators moved to Cosmos Edge. The Gods Race invited him to represent the Vampiric Race to express some thoughts to Feng Huang. However, the Gods Race never mentioned anything about killing the Human Race cultivators. His Vampiric Race needed to create a foothold within Cosmos Edge and they had coveted the piece of land for very long. Even if they couldn¡¯t have it all, he would be satisfied if they could get a portion of it. He never expected that this Dao Emperor of the Gods Race would, without reason and warning, start killing the Human Race cultivators. This had put him in a quagmire. Thus, when Mo Wuji ripped Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array, he grabbed this opportunity to blame Mo Wuji. Originally, he simply wanted Mo Wuji to accept the blame and offer compensation. Because he was the first to stand forward, his Vampiric Race would be likely to obtain more of that piece of land. He, Ni Kai, would never have thought that Mo Wuji would dare to forcibly occupy that piece of land for his Human Race for a long time. Even if Mo Wuji was a peak Dao Emperor, he shouldn¡¯t have dared to do it. There were hundreds of races in Cosmos Edge and even more powers. Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t have the capacity to offend so many people at one go. When Mo Wuji saw that there was only two Dao Emperors, three Grand Emperors, and one late-stage Immortal Emperor left behind, he celebrated. Just six fellas dare to act against him? Even if they were all Dao Emperors, would they be able to do anything to him? "Ape Mo, attack¡­" Mo Wuji opened his hand and Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared. "Wait, let me retreat. My Vampiric Race has never killed your Human Race cultivators. But if House Master Mo is bent on going against my Vampiric Race, I will have to let you know that my Vampiric Race is not something that you could simply mould to your will." Ni Kai resolutely made his decision. Ever since Mo Wuji appeared in the Human Race, the Human Race was bound to rise. Now that his Vampiric Race had not offended the Human Race to an irreconcilable stage, he was going to withdraw quickly. Almost at the same time that Ni Kai spoke, that Gods Race Dao Emperor had already pounced towards Mo Wuji. Previously, those over ten thousand Human Race cultivators were all killed by the Gods Race. They wanted to drag the other races in to deal with Mo Wuji together. Mo Wuji¡¯s combat power was truly stupefying. Even if his Gods Race had any more people, it would not be enough. Mo Wuji completely didn¡¯t care when Ni Kai retreated. His Half Moon Weight Halberd conjured a Winding River which cascaded down towards this Dao Emperor. The reason why he didn¡¯t use his Grand Desert Killing Array was because Mo Wuji saw that the Vampiric Race Dao Emperor and two Grand Emperors had retreated. For three people, why would he need to install his Grand Desert Killing Array? Mo Wuji could also guess that these three people were all from the Gods Race. Even though there were many people that came today, none of them was a fool; no one would be willing to be made use of by the Gods Race. However, if he, Mo Wuji, didn¡¯t show his capabilities, then these spectating fellas were likely to swarm him. No matter the place, it was hard to prevent the weak from being food from the strong. The Winding River descended down majestically from mid-air, forming a beautiful silver river in the sky. While it was beautiful, this Winding River was also filled with killing intent and desolation. This Gods Race Dao Emperor did not wait for Winding River to fully form as he fetched out a long neck flask. The opening of the flash suddenly expanded explosively; it seemed like the mouth of a gigantic beast as it devoured everything in front of it. This Dao Emperor knew of Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities. After using his flask, he also burst forth with his domain. Even though he was not the strongest Dao Emperor in the Gods Race, his domain was definitely the strongest. As long as his domain could destroy Mo Wuji¡¯s domain and restrain Mo Wuji for a single breath of time, he had confidence in maiming Mo Wuji. Perhaps he might not be able to kill Mo Wuji, but he was sure that he could heavily injure Mo Wuji. If he could do that, he would have an opportunity to get the experts from the other races in. "Boom!" Winding River clashed against that long-necked flask; minute beams of light exploded everywhere. This Gods Race Dao Emperor¡¯s face instantly changed. His domain, which had been so confident of, wasn¡¯t able to trump over Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. In fact, it was being grinded away by Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain. Thereafter, he felt a terrifying pressure. In the vast space above him, a finger appeared. As it appeared, the Heaven and Earth seemed to be filled with the oppressive aura of death. Chapter 819: Number One Expert In Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos Chapter 819: Number One Expert In Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This Gods Race Dao Emperor frantically tried to call his long-necked flask back. He decided that after defending against this finger of Mo Wuji¡¯s, he would flee to the ends of the earth. Mo Wuji¡¯s power was too terrifying. If he had some doubts as to how Mo Wuji killed Lun Pa and Qian Yisa, those doubts were all gone. Boom! Kacha! The flask was directly shattered. The World of Man started its destruction. This Gods Race Dao Emperor fell into despair; if it was only the World of Man, perhaps he might have a chance to escape. However, after he saw the destruction of the world of man, he saw the collapse of Heaven and Earth. Everyone was reduced to nothingness; he no longer had a chance. The Laws of the Heaven and Earth exploded; this Dao Emperor¡¯s everything - his cultivation, his insights, his domain, etc, were all destroyed. When the surroundings finally calmed down, everyone only saw a deep hole which was tens of meters wide at where that Gods Race Dao Emperor once was. That Gods Race Dao Emperor had already disappeared. At the same time, the remaining two Immortal Emperors from the Gods Race were also killed by Ape Mo, Lu Ziting and co. Out of the ten over Immortal Emperors and Dao Emperors that came, only three of them ultimately fought with Mo Wuji. And in a short time, these three were slaughtered. What shocked everyone was that finger Mo Wuji used to kill that Gods Race Dao Emperor; that finger seemed capable of destroying the World of Man, and even the Heaven and Earth itself. It contained a power of destruction which felt unstoppable. Everyone thought about that finger; if that finger was not pointed towards that Dao Emperor, but them, how would they be able to defend against it? Their answer to that question left their hearts reeling in shock: they wouldn¡¯t be able to defend against it. Immortal Empress Wen Lan was especially emotional; she knew from a long time ago that Mo Wuji had a sacred art called Winding River. Previously, she even showed her Waterfall to Mo Wuji so that he could gain deeper insights into his Winding River. However, that Winding River that Mo Wuji just used was far superior to what she had shown him. And that finger of Mo Wuji¡¯s, that finger seemed capable of destroying this entire cosmos. In just a few short years, Mo Wuji had actually grown to such a stage. Immortal Empress released a long breath. Those years ago, both Heavenly Emperor Zizai and the experts from the Very High Heavens prophecized that Lei Hongji and Ji Yue would be the future of the Immortal World. However, the Immortal World had been chased away by the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and the remaining survivors of the Human Race were left in their last breaths. Where were Lei Hongji and Ji Yue? Instead, it was Mo Wuji that allowed the Human Race to continue surviving. "Brother Mo, I was previously tricked by Gods Race¡¯s Chai Nuo. However, I assure you that I didn¡¯t kill any Human Race cultivators¡­" Vampiric Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Ni Kai had already swiftly walked forward and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji respectfully. He, Ni Kai, had seen Mo Wuji¡¯s act of killing Chai Nuo with a single finger clearly. He was sure that if that finger was aimed at him, his outcome wouldn¡¯t be any better than Chai Nuo. There probably weren¡¯t any Dao Emperors that could be a match for Mo Wuji in a one-on-one battle. Even the Gods Race¡¯s most powerful Dao Emperor, Wu Wang, probably wasn¡¯t a match for Mo Wuji. To put it in other words, Mo Wuji was the number one expert in the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Moreover, Mo Wuji had another powerful Dao Emperor by his side. It can be ascertained that the Gods Race would be chased out of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos by Mo Wuji. This was because the Gods Race¡¯s remaining strength was no longer enough to support them here. There were only a total of four Dao Emperors in the Gods Race. One of them went to seek for greater heights and had disappeared without the trace. Of the remaining three, two had been killed by Mo Wuji. Would the remaining Wu Wang be able to defend against Mo Wuji? Not only that, Mo Wuji had killed a whole pile of Gods Race¡¯s Immortal Emperors, even multiple Grand Emperors and late-stage Immortal Emperors had been killed by Mo Wuji. Coupled with the help of Feng Huang, Mo Wuji only needed to stall Wu Wang, and that Ape Mo could lead the charge for the Human Race to exterminate all the Gods Race cultivators of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. What left Ni Kai fearful was that he had never seen Mo Wuji going all out. Mo Wuji was an expert that could easily tear through Cosmos Edge¡¯s Grade 9 immortal array; would his all-out attack be any weaker? Mo Wuji did not respond to Ni Kai. Instead, he clasped his fists towards Lu Ziting and co., "Mo Wuji greets Senior Sister Wen Lan and the two sect heads." In Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, he was much closer to Immortal Empress Wen Lan than the other two. "Sect Head Mo, if not for you, our Human Race would have been screwed," Jie Ying hurriedly bowed and said. He was far older than Mo Wuji, but Jie Ying didn¡¯t dare to show any disrespect. Every act of Mo Wuji was bigger than the previous one. This time, Mo Wuji even fought his way directly into Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and tore the Cosmos Edge¡¯s array. Which one of his acts was simple? Wen Lan hurriedly introduced, "Junior Brother Wuji, this is Virtual Qing Dao¡¯s Dao Lord Jie Ying. This time, the reason why our Human Race could still have a hundred thousand survivors is largely due to Dao Lord Jie Ying¡¯s and Sect Head Lu Ziting¡¯s efforts." Jie Ying and Lu Ziting felt cold sweat forming on their heads. Honestly, when the Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City got invaded by the Gods Race and Zi Changluo abandoned them, the two of them only thought about fleeing. Instead, it was Immortal Empress Wen Lan, who had the lowest cultivation among them, that anxiously tried to defend against the attacks of the Gods Race experts so that more Human Race cultivators could survive. When it came to character, they were guilty of being inferior to Immortal Empress Wen Lan. However, it was also during their anxious retreat that steeled their resolution to fight hard for the Human Race. Mo Wuji also clasped his hands and said, "I have some matters that I will have to trouble the two sect heads. I request that the two sect heads lead the way to collect the Gods Race¡¯s properties within Cosmos Edge." "Leave this matter to me. I know that Gods Race¡¯s biggest property in Cosmos Edge is the Gods Cultivation Peak. I can bring my men over there." Lu Ziting was the first to respond. Mo Wuji also knew that he had probably killed all the Gods Race¡¯s Immortal Emperors in Cosmos Edge. Lu Ziting and his men would definitely be enough. As for what Lu Ziting needed to do, there¡¯s no need for him, Mo Wuji, to say it. Naturally, it was to kill every single one of the Gods Race cultivators. "Alright, then I will have to trouble Sect Head Lu," Mo Wuji answered. Lu Ziting chuckled, "This is the most refreshing matter I could do since I, Lu Ziting, arrived at Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. How could it be considered a trouble? In fact, I have to thank Brother Mo for giving me this opportunity." With that, Lu Ziting left. Through his spiritual will, Mo Wuji saw Lu Ziting leading more than a thousand cultivators, at the Grand Luo Stage and above, towards Gods Cultivation Peak. No one else said a word. The power that Mo Wuji displayed was too overwhelming; no one was willing to offend Mo Wuji at such a time. If Mo Wuji had to struggle to kill Gods Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Chai Nuo, then one of them here would definitely come forward to express his dissent. Vampiric Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Ni Kai also wouldn¡¯t have apologised to Mo Wuji. However, the truth was that Mo Wuji had easily slaughtered Chai Nuo. Which one of them was tired of living? Which one of them would dare to form a grudge with an expert like Mo Wuji? After Lu Ziting left, Mo Wuji looked at Ni Kai and said, "The news I received was that the Gods Race, Vampiric Race, and Sea Race surrounded and killed more than ten thousand cultivators of my Human Race. Although my Human Race doesn¡¯t have any form of support, it is not a race that could be randomly slaughtered." A sense of helplessness arose in Ni Kai¡¯s heart. His Vampiric Race could not compare with the Gods Race. Including him, his Vampiric Race only had two Dao Emperors. Two Dao Emperors definitely wasn¡¯t enough to fight against Mo Wuji. Moreover, seeing how Mo Wuji spoke in such a candid matter, Ni Kai knew that if he didn¡¯t offer a price, his Vampiric Race was the next after the Gods Race. At this instant, Ni Kai was cursing in his heart; he was cursing the brainlessness of the Gods Race. If the Gods Race had enough brains, they should have concentrated all their power to kill Mo Wuji when he just returned to Cosmos Edge. As long as the Gods Race¡¯s two Dao Emperors and Immortal Emperors all came, coupled with his Vampiric Race, Sea Race, West River Religious Order and Mifei Trade Union, this Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to survive even if he had three heads and six arms. But now, the number of Dao Emperors and Immortal Emperors that Mo Wuji killed already numbered more than 20. Moreover, West River Religious Order and Mifei Trade Union had been disbanded, and a strong race like the Demon Race wasn¡¯t willing to come forward. The Gods Race, which only had one Dao Emperor left, was destined to fall. "Brother Mo, my Vampiric Race is willing to compensate for this matter," Ni Kai said helplessly. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "There¡¯s no need for compensation. Who knows whether, after today¡¯s compensation, you would form another coalition with the Gods Race and other races to attack my Human Race? I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have time to waste words with you now. My Immortal World¡¯s Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City had been occupied by the Gods Race. I intend to reclaim it." By this time, if he didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji was trying to drag him into the water, then he, Ni Kai would be a fool. He could only lament his fortune; there truly wasn¡¯t a free lunch in the world. Because his Vampiric Race wanted the benefits, it was previously dragged into the water by the Gods Race. Now, the Human Race also wants to drag him into the water. It was impossible for him to avoid. If he still had the rights to reject Chai Nuo previously, those rights no longer existed in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji might not lay hands on him now, but after Mo Wuji exterminated the Gods Race from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond, his Vampiric Race was likely to be next. "Brother Mo, I feel angry the moment the Gods Race is mentioned. If not for Chai Nuo, that despicable fox, how could I, Ni Kai, have fallen for his tricks? Since Brother Mo wants to go to Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City, then count me in, Ni Kai," Ni Kai did not hesitate to say. Mo Wuji shook his head, "Dao Friend Ni Kai, there are more than one or two Gods Race cultivators there. I intend to lead all my Human Race cultivators over." Thereafter, Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the various experts, "Fellow daoists, the Gods Race has been behaving like tyrants in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos for too long. Today, my Human Race has decided to remove this tumour from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Anyone that is willing to follow me, please step forward. Of course, once my Human Race wrests back our Very High Heavens Cosmos Immortal City, we will move back there. As for the land that my Human Race is occupying now, it would be divided among the races that go with me." "Brother Mo, my Vampiric Race will naturally join you." How could Ni Kai not understand Mo Wuji¡¯s intentions? This time, it was a matter of race. He, Ni Kai, was dreaming if he thought that he, alone, was enough. Chapter 820: Dao Lord Of Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos Chapter 820: Dao Lord Of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My Sea Race has decided to respond Brother Mo¡¯s call. My Sea Race has an army of more than tens of thousands of soldiers," A man with a musky sea smell stepped forward. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. If the Sea Race didn¡¯t come forward, he definitely wouldn¡¯t invite them. After he exterminated the Gods Race, his next target wouldn¡¯t be the Vampiric Race, but the Sea Race. Since the Sea Race knew how to act, then he would dismiss the recent incident. Most of the experts from the Gods Race had already been killed by Mo Wuji. At the same time, many of them knew that the situation had gone south; so they had already left Cosmos Edge. Lu Ziting and his men swept the entire Gods Cultivation Peak clean with an unstoppable force. When Lu Ziting returned, he happened to hear that Mo Wuji was going to reclaim the Very High Heavens Cosmos City. He immediately stepped in front of Mo Wuji agitatedly and said, "Brother Mo, I must spearhead this battle¡­" Back then, the cultivators from the Immortal World were so helpless that they weren¡¯t even able to resist. He, Lu Ziting saw countless of cultivators getting killed. They fled in all directions, but they were pursued and killed¡­ Today, he finally had a chance to strike back. He, Lu Ziting, thought that this day would have been far in the indefinite future, or it might never happen at all. He never expected that it would come so soon, and it was all because of Mo Wuji. "Ziting, listen to Brother Mo," Jie Ying said solemnly. He was also like Lu Ziting, he was also raring to take his revenge. However, he was also very clear that Mo Wuji wanted to pull the other races in. Currently, the Human Race only had Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji was no longer here, it was always better if the Human Race had some allies. In a place like the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, there¡¯s no such thing as permanent enmity. Back then, the Human Race and the Demon Race each occupied half of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. It was exactly because of that, that the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor was still separated into the Human Corridor and the Demon Corridor. But what was it like now? The Human Race had gradually declined, while the Demon Race remained in power. Various races had robbed the Human Race of their territories. But under the pressure of Mo Wuji, weren¡¯t these races currently making the choice to help the Human Race to deal with the Gods Race? "My Demon Race¡¯s Elder Ji Ku had always admired Brother Mo. This time, my Demon Race will definitely offer our help," The Demon Race Dao Emperor stepped forward. Ji Ku had only helped the Human Race say a single sentence, but it was a testimony to the Demon Race¡¯s intentions to befriend Mo Wuji. "I represent Cosmos Edge. Cosmos Edge will definitely support Wuji." Feng Huang did not hesitate to step forward. At the same time, he demonstrated that his relationship with Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t shallow. "My Allheaven Race has also been dissatisfied with the Gods Race for a long time." ¡­ Multiple races stepped forward. Even some smaller races noticed that the Gods Race was sure to decline, and they also stepped forward. Vampiric Race¡¯s Ni Kai still felt that he had underestimated the influence of Mo Wuji; his previous claim of saying that he, alone, would help Mo Wuji might have dissatisfied Mo Wuji. Even though he eventually supplemented his words, his Vampiric Race was still on the wrong side when compared to the other races. As he thought of this, Ni Kai said loudly, "Gods Race is truly unreasonable and tyrannical. It''s natural for our races to deal with the Gods Race. Back then, the Gods Race killed millions of Human Race cultivators in Very High Heavens Cosmos City. It was only until recently that I found out why the Gods Race chose to let off more than a hundred thousand Human Race cultivators¡­" "I request Dao Friend Ni Kai to shed light on this matter," Mo Wuji immediately clasped his hand and said. In reality, he had always been confused about this matter. The Gods Race slaughtered the Human Race cultivators as they would pigs; why were Immortal Empress Wen Lan and the two Immortal Emperors still able to save more than a hundred thousand cultivators? One must know that the three Immortal Emperors didn''t have a very high cultivation; none of them was even in the late Immortal Emperor Stage. Ni Kai appeared infuriated as he said, "It''s rumoured that the Gods Race discovered an ancient ruin. This ruin requires the blood sacrifice of a hundred thousand people for it to be opened¡­" There was no need for Ni Kai to say any further; everyone knew what was going on. The reason why the more than a hundred thousand Human Race cultivators were able to survive wasn''t because the Gods Race weren''t able to kill them, nor because the Gods Race decided to show mercy. It was because the Gods Race wanted to keep them for their blood sacrifice. Even though everyone knew that Ni Kai''s frustration was pretentious, this act of the Gods Race was truly very cruel. Mo Wuji, who was already very firm on exterminating the Gods Race, steeled his resolve when he heard this. By the side, Immortal Empress Wen Lan and co.¡¯s faces had turned green. Previously, they could tell that something was peculiar when the Gods Race wanted to trap them on that meteorite. They originally wanted to tell Mo Wuji about it when they found the time. But now, they finally know the reason. Mo Wuji looked at Feng Huang and asked, "Feng Huang, how many immortal cities does the Gods Race have in Heaven''s Beyond?" "A total of five immortal cities. Four of which used to belong to the Human Race," Feng Huang promptly replied. When he heard this, Ni Kai hurriedly transmitted a message to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, my Vampiric Race had also taken an immortal city from the Human Race¡­" Mo Wuji waved his hand; he did not transmit in return, but said openly, "Anything that happened before I, Mo Wuji, came to Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos can be forgotten. Now, we are all comrades. I hope that after we exterminate the Gods Race, everyone can help me reclaim the cities from the Gods Race." "Even if Brother Mo doesn¡¯t mention it, we will do it." An expert from Sky Race came forward. Mo Wuji was very clear that the Sky Race must have earned off the Human Race before; otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t say such words. However, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was such a place; it was a place where only the experts could speak. There was no meaning in being too particular about what happened in the past. In fact, that would only earn him more enemies. What he needed to do now, was to gradually revitalise the Human Race. "Right, my Sea Race also agrees." "My Winged Race also agrees¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s words were very clear: I wouldn¡¯t be calculative if you took my Human Race¡¯s territory before. But now that I want Gods Race¡¯s territory, all those that took my Human Race¡¯s territory must help. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for collecting that debt in the future. Seeing that everyone understood the meaning behind his words, Mo Wuji knew that it was time for him to give everyone some incentives. This plot of land in Cosmos Edge was far from enough. Once again, he clasped his fists and said, "Dao friends from the various races, as Dao Friend Ni Kai had mentioned previously, it¡¯s possible that the Gods Race discovered an ancient ruin. According to the limited information that I know, the world above the Immortal World is called the God World. It¡¯s rumoured that the ancestor of the Gods Race was the first to discover the God World. Even though there doesn¡¯t seem to be many relations between the God World and the Gods Race now, I suspect that the ruins discovered by the Gods Race might be linked to the God World. This time, after we exterminate the Gods Race from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond, we will charge to the Gods Race¡¯s higher domain and pull the Gods Race out from their roots. As for that ruins, we will open it together, and all races that participate would be allowed to enter." For a race like the Gods Race, it should also have a higher domain like the Human Race. Perhaps this domain might not be called the Very High Heavens, but it should be similar. This was a domain that was linked to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. These words of Mo Wuji was telling everyone that the races that take part in the extermination of the Gods Race would have a chance to open the ruins. "I agree with Dao Lord Mo¡¯s words." "Right, Dao Lord Mo¡¯s suggestion is extremely appropriate." ¡­ Many people immediately came forward to express their agreement. As for whether Mo Wuji would use the Gods Race¡¯s blood to open the ruins, no one mentioned it. Previously, no one would have minded if the Gods Race used the blood of hundred thousand Human Race cultivators to open the ruins. That was because the Human Race didn¡¯t have a place in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos back then. There was no need to talk about a hundred thousand people, even if it was a million people, the Human Race couldn¡¯t complain about it. In terms of morals standards, everyone had always assessed their decisions based on utilitarian means. Mo Wuji knew the character of these people. He said calmly, "We will not be as inhumane as the Gods Race as to use a blood sacrifice to open the ruins. We can slaughter the Gods Race in battle, but we will not use their blood for sacrifice. I am a Grade 9 Formation Master. After this matter ends, I will rebuild the defensive array around Cosmos Edge, and at the same time, I will use my methods to open the ruins." The main point of these words was to declare that he, Mo Wuji, was going to be the one to rebuild the defensive array around Cosmos Edge. By saying it upfront, that would prevent people from chirping and making noise when the time comes. No matter what, he wanted the defensive array around Cosmos Edge to be within his control. When Feng Huang saw this scene, he knew that Mo Wuji had already obtained the absolute speaking rights here. He directly said, "Just now, there were already two dao friends that addressed Brother Mo as ¡®Dao Lord¡¯. Thus, I have a suggestion. Our Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos is vast and boundless. I, the Dao Lord of Cosmos Edge, can only manage this small city. Wuji should be the number one expert in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Why don¡¯t we designate a Dao Lord for the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, and have the first Dao Lord be Mo Wuji?" "I agree." Ni Kai hurriedly said. Actually, he also had such intentions. Originally, he also wanted to say it to form closer ties with Mo Wuji. Now that Feng Huang had mentioned it, he was naturally the first to agree. "I also agree." The Demon Race Dao Emperor added. Seeing two Dao Emperors agree, the smaller races were even less willing to show dissent. Some larger races were unwilling, but they also didn¡¯t want to offend Mo Wuji. Thus, they maintained their silence. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "The matter of the Dao Lord can be left for another time. Now, it¡¯s time to expel the Gods Race from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Sect Head Lu, Sect Head Jie and Senior Sister Wen Lan, immediately dispatch the Human Race cultivators. Thereafter, when we split the land in Cosmos Edge, it will be according to the number of soldiers sent by the various races." When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Lu Ziting and co. weren¡¯t the only ones making a move. The remaining experts hurried to send flying messenger swords, requesting for their armies in their immortal cities to attack the Gods Race. ... Gods Precipice Continent. This was a cosmos continent of the Gods Race which was similar to the Very High Heavens. This was the higher realm mentioned by Mo Wuji. It was just that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know that its name was Gods Precipice Continent. In terms of immortal spiritual energy and the integrity of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, the Gods Precipice Continent was no worse than the Very High Heavens. Moreover, the land was vast and boundless. The Gods Precipice Court was the hub of Gods Precipice Continent, where only the most powerful figures in the Gods Race could enter. Currently, in Gods Precipice Court, Wu Wang had a dark expression on his face. It was dark to the point where his black tattoos couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. Even though he was the most powerful Dao Emperor in the Gods Race, his fingers were trembling slightly. This was a clear indication of the anxiety in his heart. He could not help but be anxious. He had just received news, under the leadership of Mo Wuji, the various races of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos went around slaughtering cultivators of the Gods Race. The five immortal cities occupied by them would soon belong to someone else. The Gods Race was going to be ousted out of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Chapter 821: Accepting The Role As A Dao Lord Chapter 821: Accepting The Role As A Dao Lord Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Master, our Gods Race has as many experts as there are clouds¡­" A boy, who looked only a few years old, said proudly to Wu Wang. Before he could finish his words, Wu Wang¡¯s palm slapped across this boy¡¯s face, directly causing some of this boy¡¯s teeth to fall off. All the Gods Race experts within Gods Precipice Court were so shocked that their mouths went ajar. No one could understand why Elder Wu Wang, who adored the young lord deeply, would actually lay hands on the young lord. One must know that countless of maidservants had been killed just because they didn¡¯t meet the expectations of the young lord. The boy, whose mouth was now bloodied, sat there on the ground, staring at his master in disbelief. He had actually been slapped by his master, and many of his teeth had actually been shattered. "Wu Li, you b*stard. Do you know the calamity you have brought to the Gods Race? My Gods Race is soon going to be exterminated, and that¡¯s all because of your arrogant and wanton killing of geniuses back in Cosmos Edge. If you hadn¡¯t been so arrogant as to offend Mo Wuji, why would you have been killed by that fella on the Dao Discussion Stage? Now, it has even caused my Gods Race to fall to such a state? If I knew that this would happen, I would have let you die. Why did I waste my Gods Race most supreme treasure on you?" Wu Wang seemed to be roaring as he pointed and scolded this young boy. At this moment, Gods Precipice Court was deafeningly silent. Everyone knew that this young boy was the Gods Race¡¯s Young Lord Wu Li. The young lord had been killed by Mo Wuji on the Dao Discussion Stage, infuriating the Gods Race and leading to the massacre of millions of Human Race cultivators. At the same time, the Gods Race used a supreme dao fruit which allowed Wu Li to be reborn from a trace of his soul. "Elder Wu, that Mo Wuji is only one person, nor does he have three heads and six arms. As for that puny army of the Human Race, it isn''t even enough to cause a dent in our army. As long as we get rid of that Mo Wuji, the other races would definitely sway their loyalties. Those people are merely rats that follow where the wind blows. After we eliminate Mo Wuji, we will slowly settle our debt with them." A late-stage Immortal Emperor walked forward, bowed and said. "Yes, Grand Master, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the young lord. Our Gods Race is the superior race; our young lord was honouring those people when he devoured their spiritual roots. To actually go against us, these people are clearly courting their deaths." Another man came forward. This time, it was a Grand Emperor. Wu Wang''s anger seemed to have dissipated after that previous outburst. He remained silent for some time before he waved his hands towards those people that came forward, "If that Mo Wuji was so easy to deal with, my hands wouldn''t be so tied. To true experts, quantity would not be a threat. Even though my Gods Race has many people, I am the only Dao Emperor. Do you know how long it took for Mo Wuji to kill Chai Nuo? Two moves. Chai Nuo only managed to block half of Mo Wuji''s first move, before he had his body and soul destroyed by Mo Wuji¡­" The experts in Gods Precipice Court all went silent. It was true that Chai Nuo could not be compared to Grand Elder Wu Wang. However, Elder Wu Wang could dream of killing Chai Nuo in two moves. "According to the news I received, he also has a Xiantian Godsword. In Very High Heavens Cosmos City, he only needed a single slash to kill tens of thousands of experts of my Gods Race. There were even intermediate-stage Immortal Reverents among them. Think about it, does our Gods Race have enough experts to get cut down by that Godsword of his?" Wu Wang sighed, "Actually, this was also my fault. I have been too indulgent with Wu Li." A bearded Immortal Emperor came forward and said, "Grand Elder and Wu Li cannot be blamed for this matter. Wu Li is the hope of our Gods Race; there''s nothing wrong with him devouring mutated spiritual roots in Cosmos Edge. Cosmos Edge is where experts gather; that''s also the place of Wu Li''s fortune. The only thing we didn''t expect was that a Mo Wuji actually appeared in the Human Race." Wu Wang waved his hand, "Our mistake wasn''t because of Mo Wuji, but choosing to act against the Human Race. The Human Race was the original race that began cultivating the Dao. In the vast cosmos, there are countless of stellar talents. Even if Mo Wuji didn''t appear, there would be other experts." "Grand Elder, what should we do now? With Mo Wuji''s power, he definitely wouldn''t stop at the cities that we have in Heaven''s Beyond." The very first late-stage Immortal Emperor said anxiously. Wu Wang sighed once more, then he turned to look at the bloodied Wu Li. After some time, he finally said, "You are right. Even though I have yet to see that Mo Wuji, I know how powerful he is. He definitely wouldn''t stop at that. If I''m not wrong, they would definitely come to our Gods Precipice Continent. Even though our Gods Precipice Continent is rich in immortal spiritual energy, we aren''t as elusive as the Human Race''s Very High Heavens. The moment the Very High Heavens gets closed off from the Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos, it would be hard to find it. However, our Gods Precipice Continent isn''t able to do the same¡­" As he said this, Wu Wang''s gaze swept across the hall. He suddenly raised his volume, "Immediately being Wu Li away from Gods Precipice Continent. At the same time, bring all the cultivation talents away from Gods Precipice Continent¡­" "Grand Elder¡­" When these Immortal Emperors heard Wu Wang''s decision, they lost the colour in their faces. The Gods Precipice Continent was the wellspring of the pagoda Race''s strength. Grand Elder Wu Wang''s words meant the abandonment of Gods Precipice Continent. If they did that, the Gods Race could only cower within a lower world. It would be hard for them to rise again. Wu Wang extended his hand, "This matter is decided. Execute it immediately." With that, he especially walked to Wu Li''s side, supported Wu Li up and said warmly, "Wu Li, you are the only inheritor of my Gods Race''s ancient bloodline. If you are able to awaken your bloodline, you would definitely be able to lead the Gods Race to greater heights. I only hope that you remember who was the one who forced our Gods Race to this state and take revenge for our Gods Race. It''s true that I shouldn''t have acted against the Human Race. However, my Gods Race doesn''t have to fear what we have already done. It''s true that the Human Race is strong, but our Gods Race ancient bloodline is much stronger." "Yes, master. Wu Li will definitely remember master''s words. If I don''t destroy that Mo Wuji''s body, scatter his ashes and burn his soul, then I, Wu Li, am not fit to be a member of the Gods Race. As long as I, Wu Li, am still alive, I will make sure that the Human Race goes extinct," Wu Li clenched his fists and swore resolutely. "Alright. Leave now." Wu Wang was a man of action. With that, he immediately announced the exodus of the Gods Race from Gods Precipice Continent. ¡­ Very High Heavens Cosmos City. The seals and defensive array around the city had been reduced to dust. The huge words "Gods Race¡¯s Fifth Immortal City", which had been placed up by the Gods Race after the Human Race had been chased out, was also torn apart. None of the tens of thousands of Gods Race cultivators in the city escaped; they were all slaughtered by the coalition of various races. Mo Wuji stood in mid-air outside the city. The Immortal World cultivators had already started to clean up the battlefield, while the cultivators from the other races had started to withdraw from the city. The Gods Race had finally been expelled from Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. The five immortal cities that the Gods Race owned in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos now belonged to the Human Race. The Dao Emperors from the Demon Race, Vampiric Race and the Sea Race, as well as tens of Grand Emperors and late-stage Immortal Emperors stood behind Mo Wuji. Feng Huang and Ape Mo stood right next to Mo Wuji. At this instant, all of them had complicated feelings in their hearts. They looked at Mo Wuji with eyes filled with respect and fear. Mo Wuji had already shocked them with his individual combat power, but that Godsword of Mo Wuji¡¯s had shocked them even further. When they were invading Very High Heavens Cosmos City, Mo Wuji merely used one slash. With that one slash, Mo Wuji ripped the defensive array of the city apart. Not only that, more than ten thousand Gods Race cultivators were reaped of their souls with that slash. Even though everyone knew that Mo Wuji intentionally used that slash as a demonstration of his power, they could not help but reel in fear. The majesty and boundless killing intent within that slash still lingered in their minds. Even a Dao Emperor could not resist Mo Wuji. If you offended this person, then your race might really get exterminated. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said loudly, "Even though everyone was discontented with how the Gods Race was bullying all of us, I, Mo Wuji, still have to thank everyone for lending a hand to help my Immortal World wrest back our five immortal cities." "Brother Mo, congratulations on having the five immortal cities return to their rightful owner. We still need Brother Mo to lead us to invade Gods Race¡¯s Gods Precipice Continent," Vampiric Race¡¯s Ni Kai celebrated secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he had not been bent on cooperating with Gods Race¡¯s Chai Nuo. Otherwise, he would be a person condemned in the Vampiric Race¡¯s history. "Wuji, you should not reject it any further. Our Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos requires a Dao Lord. Wuji, your cultivation is the strongest, so it¡¯s natural for you to take that role." Feng Huang brought up the topic again. "Right, Dao Lord Mo should not push this matter away. Besides Brother Mo, there¡¯s no one else that I would accept as the Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." Ni Kai did not hesitate to show his agreement. "That¡¯s right. We agree that Brother Mo should be the first Dao Lord¡­" Back in Cosmos Edge, there were still a significant number of people that disagreed. But now, almost everyone jumped to support Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was very clear that there was no need reject this matter any further. In actuality, everyone wanted this role as the Dao Lord. However, not everyone was as strong as him. If he became the Dao Lord, the status of the Human Race in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos would rise, and the Human Race would be able to obtain more benefits. This was instrumental in the rise of the Human Race. "Fellow daoists," Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos has indeed been a mess for a long period of time; the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor itself is especially fraught with casual murders. Since I have the support from everyone, then I, Mo Wuji, humbly accept the position as the first Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. After the matter with the Gods Race concludes, I will organise a gathering at Cosmos Edge to discuss important matters. This First Dao Lord Estate will be constructed at the place that my Human Race used to stay in Cosmos Edge." [1] "Dao Lord Mo, rest assured. I, Feng Huang, promise to make the First Dao Lord Estate the number one building in the entire Cosmos Edge," Feng Huang did not hesitate to say. Most of the big powers had already nominated Mo Wuji as the Dao Lord. Even the address of the First Dao Lord Estate had been chosen. At this time, no one showed any dissent. When Immortal Empress Wen Lan, Jie Ying, and Lu Ziting heard that Mo Wuji was going to be the first Dao Lord of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, they were filled with incomparable emotions. This meant that even if Mo Wuji was no longer in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, the Human Race wouldn¡¯t be bullied. Mo Wuji announced, "Let me arrange some matters regarding the immortal cities first, then I will bring everyone to Gods Race¡¯s Gods Precipice Continent." With that, Mo Wuji said to the Human Race Immortal Emperors, "Immortal Empress Wen Lan, Sect Head Jie, Sect Head Lu, our Immortal World doesn¡¯t have enough people. Thus, we will temporarily seal the other four immortal cities. Wait till I install more powerful arrays and till our Immortal World has more people before we open them up for use. Now, let the cultivators of our Immortal World stay in this city in front of us. From now on, this immortal city would no longer be called Very High Heavens Cosmos City. It will be called Ping Fan Immortal City." [1] LOL I thought he was going to split this land with the races that helped him. Scumbag much? Chapter 822: Shuai Guo Advances Chapter 822: Shuai Guo Advances Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Gods Race¡¯s Gods Precipice Continent was separated from Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos by a chasm similar to that between Half Immortal Domain and the Corner of Yong Ying. With the capabilities of the experts from Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, this chasm was simply nothing. Tens of thousands flying treasures traversed the chasm with no obstruction whatsoever and arrived at Gods Precipice Continent. "We¡¯re late. The Gods Race has already moved away." The Demon Race Dao Emperor Ce Hong said solemnly as they arrived at Gods Precipice Continent. Mo Wuji also discovered that the Gods Race had already evacuated. However, this was within his predictions. The Gods Race cultivators with Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos had all been massacred. If the Gods Race in Gods Precipice Continent wasn¡¯t able to receive that news, then the Gods Race wouldn¡¯t have attained such their previous status. It was enough for him to gain control of Gods Precipice Continent. Chasing the Gods Race away from the Gods Precipice Continent was equivalent to oppressing them. The Gods Precipice Continent was similar to the Very High Heavens; Gods Race cultivators could only advance to the Dao Emperor Stage in Gods Precipice Continent. Without the Gods Precipice Continent, the Gods Race would gradually weaken. "Dao Lord Mo, what are your intentions?" Vampiric Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Ni Kai asked. If Mo Wuji suggested that they chased the Gods Race to the lower worlds, they would do it. However, they would not send their full forces for such efforts. After all, the main reason why the supported Mo Wuji as the Dao Lord was because of their own self-interest. By exterminating the Gods Race from Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and conquering Gods Precipice Continent, they would be able to obtain many benefits. However, chasing to surviving Gods Race cultivators to the lower worlds was a waste of time, and they weren¡¯t willing to do that. Just as Mo Wuji wanted to speak, he suddenly felt a stir within his Undying World. Those years ago, Shuai Guo devoured the wooden nail which Lun Pa used against him. Ever since then, Shuai Guo had entered into a deep sleep. After so many years, there was finally a stir from Shuai Guo. Even though Mo Wuji always scolded Shuai Guo, he still cared about Shuai Guo. He hurriedly said, "Everyone, there are very few Gods Race cultivators left in Gods Precipice Continent. Wu Wang is the only expert left behind here. Everyone, surround and kill Wu Wang, then slaughter all the remaining Gods Race cultivators left here. This territory would be distributed according to merits. When you find that rumoured secret domain of the Gods Race, I will come over. As for the lower worlds, we will temporarily let them go." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will noticed that there was a Dao Emperor left on Gods Precipice Continent; he guessed that it was Wu Wang. "Dao Lord is not following us?" Ni Kai asked hurriedly. Mo Wuji explained, "My pet beast is soon undergoing its tribulation. I will stay here to act as its protector. By the time my pet beast passes its tribulation, I believe that everyone should have already found the whereabouts of the Gods Race¡¯s ancient ruins." "Alright, since that¡¯s the case, we will first make a move," The Demon Race Dao Emperor Ce Hong hurriedly said. These few Dao Emperors were simply elated that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t participating. The Gods Race had evacuated in a hurry; there would definitely be large amounts of resources and treasures left in Gods Precipice Court. If Mo Wuji, this Dao Lord, participated, then their share of the treasures would be significantly lesser. The Dao Emperors, tens of Immortal Emperors, and tens of thousands of experts charged towards Gods Precipice Court. Since the rewards were being divided, no one wanted to fall behind. After everyone sped off, Mo Wuji directly sent Shuai Guo out of his Undying World. "My lord, I¡¯m about to undergo my tribulation," Shuai Guo said excitedly the moment it emerged. Mo Wuji could also feel that there was a qualitative change in Shuai Guo. Its sharp beak became flatter, while there wasn¡¯t any change to its three feet. Its aura was rumbling; clearly, Shuai Guo had grown significantly during these few years. "I know. You only need to worry about your tribulation." As Mo Wuji was speaking, he brought out two extreme grade immortal veins and a pile of immortal crystals. Green crystals were extremely useful for cultivation. However, they were scraps of processing, so they severely lacked natural dao energy. Just as Mo Wuji finished installed a spirit gathering array, multiple bolts of lightning came crashing down. Mo Wuji could feel Shuai Guo¡¯s aura surging; he guessed that these few bolts of lightning wouldn¡¯t really affect Shuai Guo. What he didn¡¯t expect was that, like what it did previously, Shuai Guo actually soared towards the sky. It opened its mouth and started to devour those lightning bolts. Mo Wuji stared at Shuai Guo blankly; this kid didn¡¯t eat enough the previous time? You¡¯re still eating more? "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Rumbling thunder reverberated through the air and some lightning crashed against Shuai Guo. Mo Wuji discovered in shock that Shuai Guo had only been knocked to the ground; there weren¡¯t many injuries on its body. Not only that, lightning danced around Shuai Guo¡¯s body. Clearly, this kid was starting to digest the lightning bolts. Mo Wuji was incomparably excited. He didn¡¯t expect that after a few years of hibernation, Shuai Guo was actually able to consume lightning bolts. Even when he was facing his own tribulation, he would have to face the lightning bolts with his fists before he could absorb the lightning essence. He wasn¡¯t able to directly eat the lightning. One wave after another came crashing down. Shuai Guo dealt with the lightning easily. Mo Wuji could feel Shuai Guo¡¯s aura getting stronger; he knew that this Lightning Calamity was no longer a threat to Shuai Guo. "Boom!" A terrifying explosion reverberated in the distance. There were even huge disturbances in the Laws of the Heaven and Earth within the area. Mo Wuji received a shock, but he immediately realised what happened. Gods Race¡¯s last Dao Emperor Wu Wang must have self-exploded. No matter how strong Wu Wang was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the attacks of four Dao Emperors. Mo Wuji believed that if he was there, Wu Wang definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to self-explode. However, to Mo Wuji, whether Wu Wang self-exploded was not as important as Shuai Guo¡¯s tribulation. "Wuji, Wu Wang has self-exploded. The Gods Race¡¯s ruin has also been found. It¡¯s at Gods Precipice Court. We are waiting for you here." Ape Mo transmitted a message over. As for how many people Wu Wang dragged down with him during his self-explosion, Ape Mo didn¡¯t mention it. Mo Wuji also didn¡¯t care about it; after all, he was the only one from the Human Race here. As for Ape Mo, he was a Dao Emperor expert; Wu Wang¡¯s self-explosion would only cause Ape Mo some minor injuries at the very most. "My lord." Shuai Guo¡¯s emotional voice sounded. Mo Wuji could sense that Shuai Guo¡¯s surging aura had finally stabilised. Scanning Shuai Guo with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji could immediately tell that Shuai Guo was definitely top-class among Grade 7 immortal demonic beasts. Shuai Guo¡¯s aura contained the vigour and self-confidence of an ancient bloodline; Mo Wuji could even see some indiscernible dao aura revolving around Shuai Guo. Additionally, Shuai Guo¡¯s feathers weren¡¯t sparse and thin like before. Now, Shuai Guo had a healthy, sleek, black coat of feathers. "Not bad. You¡¯re able to pass your Grade 7 immortal demonic beast Lightning Calamity so easily. You were even able to consume the lightning bolts." Mo Wuji was very satisfied with Shuai Guo¡¯s performance. "My lord, that puny lightning was nothing more than an itch. In the future, all sorts of Lightning Calamity are nothing to me." When Shuai Guo heard Mo Wuji praise it, its tail contentedly raised and pointed towards the sky. Mo Wuji sneered, "You¡¯re so impressive, but you¡¯re still a mosquito." Mo Wuji understood Shuai Guo, this kid. If you gave him an inch, he would take a mile. When Shuai Guo heard these words, its head instantly drooped, "My lord, I have already obtained a portion of my legacy. How can ordinary mosquitoes compare to me?" "Stop grumbling. Exactly what was that wooden nail that you devoured?" Mo Wuji really wanted to know the origins of that wooden nail that the Gods Race Dao Emperor used on him. That nail was filled with death energy; it was simply too terrifying. If not for Shuai Guo saving him, he might have actually died because of that nail. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s question, Shuai Guo instantly became enlivened, ¡®My lord, that wooden nail is called Godly Yin Wooden Stake. It¡¯s refined from the Godly Yin Wood, and it contains a noxious Yin energy. I believe that I will soon be able to gain enlightenment on the Yin-type sacred art from within it. By that time, I will be able to wreak havoc throughout the world, and sweep across¡­" Sensing Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turning dark, Shuai Guo knew tactfully shit its beak. "Let¡¯s go. Follow me and take a look at the Gods Race¡¯s Gods Precipice Court." Mo Wuji had never heard of the Godly Yin Wooden Stake, and he knew that nothing would come out of asking Shuai Guo any further. The reason why Shuai Guo even knew about was because it consumed it, and not because it was experienced and knowledgeable. ¡­ Gods Precipice Court looked far more majestic than Cosmos Edge. From a distance, it looked like a floating continent surrounded by beautiful rainbow-coloured clouds. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to enter Gods Precipice Court to know that most of the immortal veins had already been extracted by the fellas that came before him. He did not mind it though. He had already obtained plenty of immortal veins back in Oblique Space Sea Island. A white stone path which was approximately 30 meters wide sloped upwards; it seemed to be leading to the peak of the Cosmos. Mo Wuji brought Shuai Guo and sped through this path. The first thing he saw was a huge hall. The hall was not destroyed; Mo Wuji could guess that this was the where the top brass of the Gods Race gathered. Traversing the array, he was immediately welcomed by a shattered array. "Dao Lord Mo, this is your immortal pet?" Just as Mo Wuji arrived, Demon Race¡¯s Ce Hong exclaimed in surprise. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Yes. To think about it, this fella is considered part of your Demon Race." A Grand Emperor from the Demon Race remarked, "Dao Lord Mo, this immortal pet of yours is impressive. Even within the Demon Race, its bloodline is extremely rare." "Cheh, what is the Demon Race? My bloodline is far more dignified than some Demon Race," Shuai Guo did not hesitate to rebut. "Shuai Guo, don¡¯t talk nonsense." Mo Wuji knew that strictly speaking, Shuai Guo was indeed part of the Demon Race. However, Shuai Guo¡¯s words were not wrong either. Compared to the typical Demon Race, the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito was truly much more terrifying. Ce Hong¡¯s gaze reluctantly shifted away from Shuai Guo. If Shuai Guo wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji¡¯s pet, he would have definitely snatched it away. He could tell that Shuai Guo¡¯s bloodline was as Shuai Guo, itself, had said. It was extremely dignified. If he could obtain Shuai Guo, wouldn¡¯t that be a fortune for him? Unfortunately, Shuai Guo was Mo Wuji¡¯s pet. If there was only one person in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos that he, Ce Hong, didn¡¯t dare to offend, it would be Dao Lord Mo. "Dao Lord Mo, this should be the ruins that the Gods Race wanted to use the blood sacrifice to open." Ni Kai pointed towards a runic diagram in front of them. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already landed on the runes. These runes were extremely complicated and majestic; each of them was connected to the other. Not only were the runes complex, there seemed to be an extremely enigmatic diagram hidden within the ruins. Within a few instants, Mo Wuji suddenly felt dizzy. His heart was filled with shock. He was sure that although his cultivation was the lowest here, no one else could compare with his sea of consciousness and spiritual will. If even he was befuddled by these runes, it could be seen how terrifying these things were. "Dao Lord Mo, these array runes would cause your spiritual will to be muddled upon observation." When the Sea Race Dao Emperor saw that Mo Wuji was also affected, he secretly gasped. Mo Wuji said solemnly, "These aren¡¯t array runes." Chapter 823: Thousand Talismans Mountain And Phecda Clay Chapter 823: Thousand Talismans Mountain And Phecda Clay Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What are they?" The moment Mo Wuji''s words were uttered, many people asked at the same time. Anyone that could be here were either Dao Emperors, Grand Emperors, or late-stage Immortal Emperors. Even though their Array Dao might not be as strong as Mo Wuji''s, they were no fools when it came to arrays. These runes were clearly a type of array runes; it was just that they had yet to learn about them. Some people even suspected that Mo Wuji said these words intentionally; thereafter, he would secretly come back by himself so that they would be kicked out of the picture. Mo Wuji hesitated briefly before he said, "I¡¯m also not too sure. Even though I have never seen such things before, I sense that they are a sort of ancient curse runes." Mo Wuji¡¯s Array Dao began from Chu Xingzi¡¯s legacy. Thereafter, he continued to develop it with his Immortal Mortal Technique. When he went into the Gods Tower¡¯s immortal sealing array, his Array Dao met with a qualitative chance. Thereafter, in Sword Prison, he gained enlightenment on the spatial array rune. With his current attainments in the Array Dao, he was sure that he could become a Grade 9 Array Master if he spent some time studying it. It was exactly because of this, that Mo Wuji was sure that these runes weren¡¯t array runes. Even though he didn¡¯t use his spiritual eye, he could faintly feel the power of curses within these runes. "It¡¯s likely that Dao Lord¡¯s words are true. The Gods Race is an extremely mysterious race. I once heard that there used to be an extremely powerful curse-type sacred art in the Gods Race. However, I do not know whether that sacred art was performed through the use of runes," Sea Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Jiao Luan nodded his head in agreement. He truly felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s words were logical. His Sea Race used to have a conflict with the Gods Race, so he was relatively clearer about such matters. "Brother Jiao, are you talking about the Great Curse Art?" Ni Kai seemed to recall something and he immediately uttered. "Yes, I was referring to the Great Curse Art. However, even if these runes contain the art of curses, it wouldn¡¯t be the Great Curse Art, but a minor one." Jiao Luan nodded. "Does Dao Lord Mo have a method of expelling the curse?" Demon Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Ce Hong looked towards Mo Wuji expectantly. His cultivation had reached the highest possible level here, and it was hard for him to make an improvement. If he wanted to attain a higher level, he needed to leave this region of the world. Unfortunately, after these countless years, Ce Hong only found Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos which had relatively higher Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Now that the Gods Race had a possible passage to a higher world, Ce Hong was one of those that desired it greatly. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have the confidence in opening this passage. Even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t open it now. The Gods Race had imbued the curse art within these runes. Who knows what would happen if it was opened? Even if he wanted to take the risk, that would have to wait till he reaches the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage and had no other means to make an improvement. If these weren¡¯t curse runes but array runes, perhaps Mo Wuji would have tried it. "My cultivation is limited. If these were array runes, perhaps I can try it. However, I have never learned about the curse arts before and I¡¯m unable to open it," Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate to say. A sense of disappointment arose in Ce Hong¡¯s heart. He hesitated briefly before he said with unwillingness, "Perhaps we can use the blood sacrifice¡­" Mo Wuji shot Ce Hong a cold glance. He knew that sacrificing the lives of hundred thousand people to open this passage was the most ruthless and cruel thing in the world. However, to these experts, the lives of others were equivalent to the lives of ants. There was no need to talk about a hundred thousand people, even if it was the lives in an entire planet, these people probably wouldn¡¯t even bat an eye. Seemingly feeling Mo Wuji¡¯s displeasure, Ce Hong laughed awkwardly, "This is open to everyone¡¯s discussion. We should suggest the methods we can employ to open this passage." Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Since I am the Dao Lord of Heaven¡¯s Beyond, let me decide this matter. I will seal this place temporarily and we will open it when we find a suitable method. As the saying goes: There are no standards without rules. Three months later, we will hold a meeting at Cosmos Edge¡¯s Dao Lord Estate and discuss the exact rules within Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." "I believe that Dao Lord Mo¡¯s words are right. We still don¡¯t know exactly how strong the curse art is. However, this is something from the ancient Gods Race. It¡¯s better to be careful," Ni Kai agreed. "Alright, since that¡¯s the case, I will begin installing the seals." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother hearing the opinions of others; he directly began throwing out array flags to seal this piece of land. He didn¡¯t know exactly how strong the curse art was. However, he could faintly feel that this wasn¡¯t a good place. If it was opened, it might affect more than just the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. ¡­ "Wuji, did you notice that when you were sealing that Gods Race ruins, Demon Race¡¯s Ce Hong and Sea Race¡¯s Jiao Luan looked rather unwilling?" Ape Mo said as Mo Wuji and him were leaving Gods Precipice Continent. Mo Wuji nodded, "I know, but this place is anything but good. Regardless of their interests, I will not agree to open it." "Actually, that cursed rune road might actually be a passage to a higher world. If our cultivation is higher, we could come back and take a look," Ape Mo said seriously. "That¡¯s right. I still have some unfinished business here. Also, after I finish them, I want to find a way to make a trip back to the Immortal World¡­" As he said this, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something, "Ape Mo, let me ask you a question. If I want to go to a specific lower world, are there any special methods?" As his cultivation continued to rise, Mo Wuji¡¯s yearning to make a trip back to Earth grew stronger. Perhaps Wen Xiaoqi might no longer be alive, but he still wanted to see her descendants. Now that he had experienced two lives, he was especially cognizant of the efforts and difficulties that Wen Xiaoqi had gone through for him. Even if he could not compensate her directly and could only meet with her descendants, Mo Wuji¡¯s heavy heart would be able to lighten considerably. Besides the matter with Wen Xiaoqi, he also wanted to find out exactly why that woman plotted against him. "Wuji, you want to go to a lower world?" Ape Mo asked in confusion. Mo Wuji sighed and said, "Yes, I came here because of a friend. However, I¡¯m sure that my friend is not here. Thus, after I settle the matter regarding the Immortal World, I will enter secluded cultivation. When my abilities reach a certain level, I will try to open that ruin. If I can¡¯t, then I will make a trip to the Cosmos Wall." Every few years, copious amounts of cultivation resources and materials would come falling from the Cosmos Wall. Mo Wuji believed that if he continued to scale the Cosmos Wall, it was highly possible that there was a higher world. With his current abilities, he wasn¡¯t able to do that. But perhaps he could once he becomes a Great Circle Immortal Emperor? As for Cen Shuyin and Lin Gu, Mo Wuji guessed that they weren¡¯t in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. If they were in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos or Cosmos Edge, they were definitely have heard his name. Ape Mo ruminated for a long time before he finally said, "It¡¯s not that there aren¡¯t methods. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s very hard. The first way is to use the Reincarnation Dao Fruit. You will send a strand of your spiritual will into it and it will be reincarnated into the lower world. Usually, its lifespan is 30 years. The second way is to use a peak grade World Rending Talisman. However, there are some issues regarding this method: 1. Peak grade World Rending Talismans are hard to get; 2. After using this talisman to get to the lower world, you will still face an immense pressure from the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Without a treasure to resist the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, even Dao Emperors would be crushed to smithereens. Of course, I even heard of a third method. I heard that once a person¡¯s cultivation reaches the extreme, it becomes possible to dismiss the restrains of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. I¡¯m not too clear about what this ¡®extreme¡¯ level is, but I¡¯m sure that it¡¯s not the Dao Emperor Stage." "Then where can I get that World Rending Talisman?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. He cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique, so he didn¡¯t need to fear the restrains of the Laws over lower worlds. This is because he was considered a mortal. "Has Wuji heard of the Thousand Talismans Mountain?" Ape Mo asked. Mo Wuji shook his head, "I¡¯ve not." Ape Mo explained, "The Thousand Talismans Mountain is a sect formed by the descendants of the Talisman Race. The Talisman Race are innately born with the talent to create talismans and all peak grade talismans come from the Talisman Race. However, due to some unknown reason, the Talisman Race offended some supreme expert. That expert exterminated the Talisman Race. The survivors of the Talisman Race fled to Thousand Talismans Mountain, and that was where they finally resided. Oblique Space Sea Island frequently trades with Thousand Talismans Mountain and purchases peak grade talismans from them." "Where is the Thousand Talismans Mountain?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. Ape Mo answered, "I know where the Thousand Talismans Mountain is. It¡¯s just that the Thousand Talismans Mountain probably doesn¡¯t have those peak grade World Rending Talismans anymore. During the extermination of the Talisman Race, they lost most of their talisman legacies. But if Wuji is still keen, I can bring you over." Mo Wuji went silent momentarily. Then he said, "Let¡¯s return to Cosmos Edge for now. I will enter seclusion for three months to forge immortal puppets. After I¡¯m done forging my immortal puppets and resolving the matters in Cosmos Edge, I will go to the Thousand Talismans Mountain alone." Cosmos Edge had just stabilised. With Ape Mo staying behind, there was someone to look after the Human Race. "My lord, you¡¯re using the Phecda Clay to revive Da Huang?" Shuai Guo hurriedly asked. "The Phecda Clay to revive Da Huang?" Mo Wuji looked at Shuai Guo in doubt. He knew that when Shuai Guo advanced to Grade 7, it received many new legacies. But what was this Phecda Clay? When Shuai Guo saw that it knew something that its master didn¡¯t know about, it was instantly elated, "My lord, the Phecda Clay is a Xiantian material. Not only is it the best material used for recovering one¡¯s fleshly body, it could also be used forge peak grade immortal puppets. If an immortal puppet is forged using this material, it will be able to independently absorb spiritual energy and cultivate. It would also possess its own intelligence." "Shuai Guo, you¡¯re saying that an immortal puppet forged using this Phecda Clay will be able to absorb spiritual energy on its own? It doesn¡¯t need to use any sort of energy crystal to attack?" Mo Wuji asked agitatedly. Mo Wuji¡¯s feelings for Da Huang were very deep. It was exactly because of this, that he decided to learn how to forge immortal puppets. With his current methods, he could easily forge Immortal Reverent-level immortal puppets. However, he still didn¡¯t begin reforging Da Huang. This was because he wanted Da Huang to possess the same intelligence as it had before. Hearing Shuai Guo¡¯s words, not only would the Phecda Clay be able to recover Da Huang¡¯s intelligence, Da Huang would even be able to cultivate. He must obtain this Phecda Clay. There was no other reason, it was just for Da Huang. "Right, my lord. This is what I learned from my legacy." Shuai Guo said resolutely. "Where can I get the Phecda Clay?" Mo Wuji¡¯s brows knitted in contemplation. He was wondering if he could release this as a mission. But even he hadn¡¯t heard of such a thing, would others know about it?" "My lord, don¡¯t you already have the Phecda Clay?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, it was Shuai Guo¡¯s turn to be confused. Chapter 824: Da Huang Returns Chapter 824: Da Huang Returns Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I have the Phecda Clay?" Mo Wuji looked at Shuai Guo with an expression of confusion. According to Shuai Guo¡¯s words, the Phecda Clay was a Xiantian material, it was a treasure equivalent to the Clay of Life [1], it was a treasure on the same level as the primal crystals. How could he have it? He did have the Five Elemental Soil, but this thing was heavens apart from the Phecda Clay described by Shuai Guo. "My lord, that green stone inside is the Phecda Clay," Shuai Guo said to Mo Wuji speechlessly. In reality, since Ape Mo was here, Shuai Guo didn¡¯t want to mention the Undying World and the Breath of Hongmeng which was next to the green stone. "Which green stone?" Mo Wuji asked. However, he didn¡¯t wait for Shuai Guo to answer before he came to a realisation. He immediately retrieved a piece of green stone in his Undying World and asked, "Shuai Guo, you mean that this is the Phecda Clay?" "That¡¯s right, this is the Phecda Clay." Shuai Guo suddenly felt that its lord was not overly abnormal; there were still some things its lord didn¡¯t know about. "I understand," Mo Wuji muttered. He did understand. If Shuai Guo¡¯s words were right, this might really be the Xiantian treasure, Phecda Clay. Previously, he thought that the Phecda Clay would look like soil. How could he have thought that this green stone was the Phecda Clay? He obtained this green stone from the immortal sealing array. Back then, the cunning fox, Yu Minjiang, tried to scheme against him. Yu Minjiang got him to retrieve this green stone from a dried lake. In reality, this rock was positioned under a sharp and piercing fish skeleton. If he didn¡¯t have his spiritual eye, he would really have fallen for that scheme. Thereafter, he got Da Huang to retrieve this green stone. He didn¡¯t expect that Yu Minjiang, that old fox, would still try to trick him. Fortunately, he grabbed the right opportunity. He didn¡¯t dare waste any words with that old fox. Instead, he fled by himself. There was no wonder why Yu Minjiang wanted this green stone. If Yu Minjiang was only left with his primordial spirit, and if this green stone was really the Phecda Clay, it wasn¡¯t hard to discern the reason why Yu Minjiang wanted the Phecda Clay. Mo Wuji sighed emotionally. Back then, Da Huang was the one who retrieved this green stone. Now, he was going to use this green stone to reforge a body for Da Huang. Clearly, fate comes around. "Not bad, Shuai Guo. You¡¯ve done well." Mo Wuji patted Shuai Guo¡¯s head. ¡­ When Mo Wuji returned back to Cosmos Edge, he immediately installed a defensive array around Mifei Trade Union and he started his seclusion. Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array was broken. However, because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t say anything, no one mentioned the reinstallation of the arrays. After all, Mo Wuji was the Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and Cosmos Edge was the hub of Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Thus, the reinstallation of the arrays had to go through Mo Wuji. Back at that almost dried-up immortal essence pond, Mo Wuji planted another two immortal veins. Thereafter, he carefully retrieved a broken piece of artificial equipment spirit; this was Da Huang¡¯s artificial equipment spirit. Back when he was surrounded by three Grand Emperors and a Quasi-Emperor, Da Huang sacrificed its life for him. The only thing he managed to retain was this equipment spirit. Placing this artificial equipment spirit by the side, Mo Wuji then took out the green stone. His spiritual will wasn¡¯t even able to penetrate into this green stone. Now, Mo Wuji was worried; he didn¡¯t know whether his Scholar¡¯s Heart was enough to melt this green stone. Mo Wuji flashed out his Scholar¡¯s Heart, then he nervously placed the green stone within the fire. The Scholar¡¯s Heart was a Grade 9 immortal flame. If the Scholar¡¯s Heart wasn¡¯t able to melt this piece of green stone, then Mo Wuji really wouldn¡¯t have any other methods. He could only wait till his cultivation gets higher then he would make another attempt to save Da Huang. After half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji sighed. His guess was right: his Scholar¡¯s Heart was unable to melt this green stone. Even after half an incense of time, there was no change to this piece of green stone. The Phecda Clay was a Xiantian treasure. Perhaps only Xiantian treasures could cut open this green stone¡­ The moment Mo Wuji thought about Xiantian treasures, he immediately thought about his Kun Wu Sword. Even though he had only refined the first layer of seals of Kun Wu Sword, the Kun Wu Sword was still a Xiantian Treasure. The Kun Wu Sword might actually be able to cut this green stone. However, Mo Wuji soon shook his head. It would be useless even if the Kun Wu Sword was enough to cut this green stone. Even if he cut this green stone into halves, it wouldn¡¯t be able to bring Da Huang back. Regardless of its usefulness, Mo Wuji still decided to try. Mo Wuji wielded the Kun Wu Sword. It immediately conjured a sword beam with sliced towards that green stone. "Ka!" A light and crisp sound resounded. This green stone was cut in half. So easy. Mo Wuji stared at one of the halves of the green stone. Immediately, he noticed that something was amiss. After being sliced, this green stone ad become especially soft; it felt like real clay. Mo Wuji hurriedly formed some hand seals. As the hand seals landed on the green stone, it continuously changed. A powerful life energy and a pure breath came over. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was instantly shaking with excitement. At this moment, Mo Wuji was sure that this green stone was the Phecda Clay. This time, he didn¡¯t even need to use the Scholar¡¯s Heart. He only needed to use his spiritual will to control this immortal puppet. Originally, Mo Wuji wanted to engrave array runes inside. But after controlling the Phecda Clay, he changed his mind. What kind of material was this? He was using the Phecda Clay. This was a Xiantian material. If he used his method of engraving array runes, he would simply be forging an immortal puppet. However, he wanted Da Huang to be like Shuao Guo; he wanted Da Huang to have its own spirit to cultivate and advance on its own. As Mo Wuji thought of this, a new insight appeared in his mind. This insight was similar to when he first formed the Undying World; it seemed to contain a Grand Dao Energy of Creation. The Phecda Clay continued to morph. Slowly, it reverted back to Da Huang¡¯s original appearance. By this time, that damaged artificial equipment spirit was also inserted into the Phecda Clay. The only difference was that Da Huang¡¯s inner body wasn¡¯t filled with seals and arrays. Instead, meridians and spirit channels appeared, then came his bones and his organs¡­ At the beginning, Mo Wuji used his willpower to control this. Towards the end, Mo Wuji depended entirely on his dao will to synthesise Da Huang. Perhaps in this vast universe, this was the only living creature that possessed 108 spirit channels and 108 meridians. After some unknown period of time, Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. He didn¡¯t even cultivate; he had only used his Phecda Clay to sculpt Da Huang. However, his cultivation rose to the pinnacle of the early Immortal Emperor Stage. His aura seemed to become more ordinary, it seemed as though he was one with the space around him. Indeed, every road was a path within the Grand Dao. He only focused on rebuilding Da Huang, but during this short period of time, his cultivation rose faster than if he cultivated for eight to ten years. Da Huang had already reverted back to its original appearance. There was even a layer of skin on Da Huang. The only difference was that Da Huang still didn¡¯t seem to have life. Mo Wuji slowly lifted his hand and placed his finger on Da Huang¡¯s forehead. Life force and dao intent were being channelled into Da Huang¡¯s body. As long as he knew it, it would be transmitted into Da Huang. Following Mo Wuji¡¯s transmission of his life force and dao intent, the Phecda Clay started to have obvious changes. The spirit channels and meridians within Da Huang¡¯s body suddenly started to have life. Blood flowed from Da Huang¡¯s forehead and soon it filled the entire of Da Huang¡¯s body. After two full hours, Mo Wuji finally retracted his finger. His face was slightly pale. "My lord, wasn¡¯t my body smashed to smithereens by those fellas? Why am I still alive?" When Da Huang saw Mo Wuji, he immediately cried out in pleasant surprise. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes were slightly moist. From this moment on, Da Huang was no longer an immortal puppet. "My lord, you saved me¡­" Da Huang soon came to an understanding He could feel the artificial equipment spirit within his body. That artificial equipment spirit was slowly fusing with the Phecda Clay. Eventually, that artificial equipment spirit would disappear without a trace. "Da Huang, you¡¯ve finally returned," Mo Wuji said emptionally. Da Huang suddenly closed his eyes, and at the very next instant, he reopened them. He looked at Mo Wuji in disbelief as he said, "My lord, you used the Phecda Clay to reforge my body? It¡¯s the Phecda Clay¡­" "That¡¯s right, how do ypu feel?" Mo Wuji was elated. Now that Da Huang had returned, the state of his heart had risen by a level. "This is such a waste, it¡¯s truly a waste¡­" Da Huang muttered to himself. He previous owner couldn¡¯t even obtain Phecda Clay the size of a dragon¡¯s eye. Now, his entire body was formed from Phecda Clay. Mo Wuji chuckled and patted Da Huang¡¯s shoulder, "To me, infinite amounts of Phecda Clay couldn¡¯t compare to your return. Come, let¡¯s go." "Yes, my lord." Da Huang¡¯s heart was boiling with emotions. His body had just been formed and he was still at the period of adjustment. All this, however, wasn¡¯t important. The important thing was that his lord had used an entire piece of Phecda Clay to sculpt his body. He, Da Huang, was only an immortal puppet, His lord didn¡¯t hesitate to give a puppet like him a new life. "Da Huang, welcome back." The moment they emerged, Shuai Guo came running over with its butt high. It was very clear that the previous Da Huang didn¡¯t count for anything much, but the Da Huang formed using Phecda Clay was no lower than a mosquito like it. "Thanks Shuai Guo." Da Huang¡¯s heart was still filled with emotions. Shuai Guo sighed, "Da Huang, you¡¯re much more polite than before. But now, your abilties are much weaker. Hoho, you shoudl only be in the Immortal Reverent Stage." "I will cultivate. I will soon become stronger than before and protect the lord," Da Huang didn¡¯t hesitate to say. He wasn¡¯t a half bit disappointed. His previous power level wouldn¡¯t have increased no matter what he did. Now that his lord had sculpted a new body for him, he could cultivate and grow stronger. [1] So it¡¯s a clay that can be used to sculpt living things. If I had it, I would rather sculpt Wonder Woman. Chapter 825: Laws of the Heaven’s Beyond Cosmos Chapter 825: Laws of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao Lord Mo, congratulations on advancing once again. The Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array had been broken for a few months now, should we reinstall a new one soon?" The instance Mo Wuji came out of seclusion, the few Dao Emperors landed in front of him together. The truth was that they had been waiting for Mo Wuji to come out of seclusion for the brand new division of benefits in the Cosmos Edge as well as the need for a new defensive array to be installed. Their array dao might not be comparable to Mo Wuji¡¯s but it would be impossible for Mo Wuji to think that he could control the entire defensive array of the Cosmos Edge. "Naturally," Mo Wuji smiled faintly before saying to the incoming Feng Huang, "Dao Lord Feng¡­" Feng Huang hurried to say, "Dao Lord Mo, in order to avoid any confusion or clash between us, I am now that castellan of the Cosmos Edge." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind as he said, "Castellan Feng, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos is about to draw up a standardise rule so help me inform every existing power, race¡­ to gather for a conference at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Lord Residence two hours later." "Yes," Feng Huang hurried to respond before adding another sentence, "Dao Lord Mo, what should we do to those who are unwilling to attend the conference?" Mo Wuji chuckled, "Then it would be up to them and we shall not force it upon them." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Feng Huang wasn¡¯t the only shocked one as even the few Dao Emperors felt slightly suspicious. According to their understanding of Mo Wuji, he wasn¡¯t a Dao Lord that was easy to speak or negotiate with. Nothing might happen to you if you didn¡¯t offend Mo Wuji but once you offend this Dao Lord Mo, the Gods Race would be a good example of what would come your way. Now that Mo Wuji had organised a conference as the new Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond, not attending this conference would mean not respecting Mo Wuji as the new Dao Lord. ¡­ Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Lord Residence was a place Feng Huang rebuilt back up in the Cosmos Edge. One could say that in the entire Cosmos Edge, there wasn¡¯t any architecture more magnificently grand than this Dao Lord Residence. However, the Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond was the number one existence of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos so it was only natural for his Dao Lord Residence to be the grandest and magnificent. Two hours later, about a thousand of people gathered within the splendid and spacious Dao Lord Residence¡¯s hall. Almost 100% of the sect heads of the remaining powers who chose to remain in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos were all here in the hall. Besides the few races and forces who casually sent a few random personnel here, most of the people here were power holders for each of their races and forces. After all, attending this conference wouldn¡¯t take up much time so nobody would be willing to offend the number one Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos for a small matter like this. Despite the fact that this was only a titular address, this person had just brought people to exterminate the entire presence of the Gods Race in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. "Dao Lord Mo, every race and force are all here," Even Feng Huang didn¡¯t expect that there would be such attendance. Mo Wuji nodded and in fact, this was within his expectations. A meeting like this involved the future direction in which the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos would head towards as well as the new plan to divide the benefits within the Cosmos Edge. As long as they weren¡¯t foolish, they would be here. Initially, Mo Wuji was intending to come up with a foreign race regulation to deal with races which chose not to attend this conference. However, since everyone was present today, it seemed like there was no need for him to add in this rule. Once everyone had settled down and received the immortal tea which Feng Huang prepared, Mo Wuji clasped his fists before saying, "Indebted to the high regard held by many Dao Friends here in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond, I shall be the first Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Since I am the Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, I would naturally have to make a contribution to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Now, I would like to appoint the personnel to form up the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Dao Lord Constitution." Everyone in the hall fell silent because Mo Wuji only became the Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos because his strength was number one in the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond. Didn¡¯t everyone witness how a mighty race like the Gods Race got exterminated just because they offended Dao Lord Mo? In the Dao Lord Constitution, Mo Wuji alone would never be enough. Now that Dao Lord Mo was about to nominate the Dao Lord Constitution, it would mean that whoever was chosen would be standing on a much higher status than everyone else in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Mo Wuji knew what everyone was thinking about. Even though he was supposed to nominate the members, decisions had already been made for some of the more important positions. Mo Wuji scan across the hall using his eyes before saying, "Other than myself, the Dao Lord, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos Dao Lord Constitution would have five designated cosmos defenders. They would be Demon Race¡¯s Ce Hong, Blood Race¡¯s Ni Kai, Sea Race¡¯s Jiao Luan, Sky¡¯s Race Yuan Peiluo and Devil Race¡¯s Fang Hushen respectively. The hall was still silent and evidently, nobody was too surprised at Mo Wuji¡¯s arrangement. The five cosmos defenders were basically all Dao Emperors and were all present today too. Once Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was heard, the five nominated defenders stood up and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji before sitting back down. The following names would the eight law enforcers of the Dao Lord Constitution. They are Spiritual Race¡¯s Hai Yidou, Human Race¡¯s Jie Ying¡­" In a place like this, Mo Wuji would not be too particular about the races that were being chosen. If the Human Race was really going to establish a powerful foothold in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, they would first need a foothold within the Dao Lord¡¯s Constitution. During the nomination this time around, three of the Human Race Immortal Emperors were appointed. Even Ape Mo was appointed as an honorary elder. Once he finished appointing the more important positions, Mo Wuji continued, "Since we have an integrated administration in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, I would wish to draw up a series of regulations. The Dao Discussion Stage could still be established again but no one else should intervene during a dao discussion on the stage. Anyone who intervened shall be killed without mercy. Concurrently, the dao discussion shall end the moment someone admits defeat on stage and similarly, anyone who violates this rule shall also be killed immediately¡­ The Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor shall stop having that war among armies and once the Cosmos Wall is open, anyone would be qualified to enter to fight for the treasures and would also be qualified to return with their treasures to the Cosmos Edge or Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor¡­" If there were still some opinions regarding Mo Wuji¡¯s first rule, there were simply too many objections to the second rule. The very existence of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor was to fish for a large number of cultivation resources. A place like the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor was simply not suitable for cultivation and 90% of the cultivators there was existence like cannon fodders. Mo Wuji¡¯s suggestion would basically put those cultivators at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor on the same equal footing as the other cultivators. "Dao Lord Mo, wouldn¡¯t this cause a greater mess?" Sky Race¡¯s Dao Emperor Yuan Peiluo stood up to ask. Mo Wuji replied faintly, "If even this could cause a mess, there would no longer be a point in the existence of our Dao Lord Constitution as well as the defenders." Yuan Peiluo heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and was instantly shocked, he hurried to clasp his fist before sitting back down. The truth was that even though his Sky Race did send some cultivators to partake in the move to exterminate the Gods Race, he didn¡¯t involve himself. The only reason Mo Wuji would choose him to be a defender was because he was a Dao Emperor. If he dared to continue speaking without thinking, he might be the first defender to rip off his title so quickly. "The Cosmos Edge shall become a fair trading place and would not allow for force buying or selling as well as bullying or humiliating of others. The moment such cases appeared, kill without pardon. The various big city square, exchange market, associations¡­ shall go according to the scale of the transaction to collect the fees. Concurrently, the Cosmos Edge shall establish transfer arrays for all races so that anyone would be able to travel from the Cosmos Edge to the immortal cities of each race or the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Corridor easily. The precondition would be that every transfer would require the payment of a standard fee. All the fees collected would be used to pay for the expenses of the Dao Lord Constitution¡­" Mo Wuji listed down regulations after regulations and nobody dared to object. The list that Mo Wuji came up with had basically surpassed the framework of regulations and could even be considered as laws. However, Mo Wuji was now the number one expert of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and the Dao Lord coupled with the fact that the regulations he implemented didn¡¯t harm any race specifically. Every race would have to pay the equal amount of fees so nobody would actually stand out to object. Once he went through the framework of regulations which he came up with, Mo Wuji continued, "These regulations shall be addressed as the laws of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos in the future. For now, let¡¯s discuss the installation of the Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array." Hearing that Mo Wuji was going to talk about the defensive array, the power holders of each race or force suddenly had their spirits lifted up. The defensive array of the Cosmos Edge was the point which most of them were concerned about because the Cosmos Edge was the main gathering of resources in the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. This was also the place where they would visit the most frequently in the future which was why this defensive array must not be controlled by Mo Wuji alone. Mo Wuji said calmly, " I am the Dao Lord so I shall be the one taking charge of the installation of the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge." "Dao Lord Mo, I feel that the defensive array should be installed by a Grade 9 immortal array master and we can lend our support from the side," Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, a Grand Emperor, who didn¡¯t know Mo Wuji personally, stood up. "Yes, the defensive array would naturally need a Grade 9 immortal array master to install. I believe that Master Song Chengwang can lead the way while we help out together¡­" Yuan Peiluo was the second to step out as Song Chengwang was the array master of his Sky Race. Mo Wuji questioned with a calm tone, "Song Chengwang was the one who installed the previous defensive array of the Cosmos Edge?" "Yes indeed, the previous defensive array of the Cosmos Edge was indeed installed by Senior Song Chengwang," The Grand Emperor, who spoke first, added in. Mo Wuji¡¯s tone turned cold as he slammed the table and shouted, "Which race are you from? Why do you want to harm the people of my Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos?" This Grand Emperor was stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s abrupt rage as he hurried to clasp his fists and said, "Dao Lord Mo, I am from the Barbarian Race and I have never thought of harming the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. I am sincere in wanting to establish a more stable defensive array of the Cosmos Edge." Without waiting for Mo Wuji to speak, Dao Emperor Ni Kai of the Blood Race sneered, "Did you know that the defensive array installed by Song Chengwang was torn apart by a single finger of Dao Lord Mo during his secluded cultivation? Dao Lord Mo¡¯s reprimand was actually not accusing you. If we were to let Song Chengwang install the same type of defensive array again, wouldn¡¯t we be vulnerable to the other people¡¯s future invasion of the Cosmos Edge?" "Ah¡­" This Barbarian Race Grand Emperor was shocked because even though he knew that the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge was torn apart, he certainly didn¡¯t know that it was done by a finger of Mo Wuji. A defensive array which could be torn apart by a single finger must be really trashy which explained the Dao Lord¡¯s fury. Mo Wuji said faintly, "Dao Friend Ni Kai is right because the original defensive array of the Cosmos Edge was simply too trashy to be destroyed accidentally during my secluded cultivation. Naturally, this was also a good thing because otherwise, we would still be living under a trashy defensive array. Dao Friend Yuan Peiluo¡¯s words are also logical because to install the defensive array of this place, a Grade 9 immortal array master would naturally be needed. And I, Mo Wuji, am coincidentally a Grade 9 immortal array master." Chapter 826: Heading Towards The Thousand Talismans Mountain Chapter 826: Heading Towards The Thousand Talismans Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Out of the Dao Emperors here, the Sky Race Dao Emperor Yuan Peiluo had the least understanding of Mo Wuji. Everyone else knew that Mo Wuji was a Grade 9 immortal array master but he didn¡¯t know that. Now that Mo Wuji had mentioned he was a Grade 9 immortal array master, Yuan Peiluo had nothing to say to rebut Mo Wuji¡¯s claim to take charge of the installation of the transfer array. "I support the decision to let Dao Lord Mo take charge of installing the defensive array," Demon Race¡¯s Ce Hong was astute, crafty and well experienced. One look at this situation, he knew that Dao Lord Mo was determined to be the one taking charge of the installation which was why he didn¡¯t hesitate as he stepped out to support Mo Wuji. After Ce Hong, the other Dao Emperors, as well as Immortal Emperors from each race, displayed their support for Mo Wuji. Despite knowing that the outcome wouldn¡¯t change, Mo Wuji was still very pleased as he stood up to say, "This defensive array which I am about to install for the Cosmos Edge would have eight main controlling flags. Because the installment of the defensive array requires a large amount of high grade immortal materials, I shall get to control one of the main controlling flags while the other seven main controlling flags shall be given to whoever contributes the most. After allocating this seven personnel, I would go according to the races who contributed the most to the construction of the defensive array to decide the territory given." The truth was that to install a defensive array for the Cosmos Edge was just like installing one for an immortal city. It didn¡¯t require many resources but since Mo Wuji was going to do it himself, he wouldn¡¯t want to install an ordinary one. Moreover, he needed a large number of resources because not only did he need it for the Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array, he would also need to take care of the Ping Fan Immortal City¡¯s defensive array. Besides all these, he would want to revamp the Ping Fan Immortal School¡¯s defensive array once he returned to the Immortal World. Immediately after Mo Wuji¡¯s words were heard, many races were all suddenly willing to contribute resources magnanimously. "Now let me address my final issue," Mo Wuji indicated for everyone to quieten down, "Because I am the first Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, after I leave the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, there would be a need for a successor for the Dao Lord position. Today, I shall refine a Dao Lord Token and the following Dao Lord shall follow the procedure on this Dao Lord Token as a continued tradition." Mo Wuji finished speaking and instantly took out a Star Soul Stone and a Primal Fire Crystal the size of a longan to start refining the token in front of everyone. The Primal Fire Crystal was a very decent item but no matter how decent the item was, nobody dared to covet for it as long as it was on Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. Moreover, the piece that Mo Wuji took out became a small one very soon after. Mo Wuji was already a Grade 9 Smith Emperor so something like refining a token would only take a matter of seconds. Once this token, which contained the energy of a flame, was completed by Mo Wuji and started suspending in mid-air, Mo Wuji said, "In the future, this token shall be the Dao Lord¡¯s warrant and it shall be passed on throughout the generations that lived in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." The Star Soul Stone might be rare but it was still attainable by most of the experts here. As for an item like the Primal Fire Crystal, it was a treasure that was hard even to find or see it. Additionally, this Dao Lord Token would even have the array runes carved out by Mo Wuji so he believed that he would be the only person capable of making such a token. The Dao Lord Constitution had been established, the laws had been drawn out, the Dao Lord Token was born and Mo Wuji had finally started on installing the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge. One could say that the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos had truly entered a new era and it was no longer the same messy place where might makes right and slaughtering of cultivators was allowed everywhere. There was completely no need for Mo Wuji to mobilize the force to start the construction of the defensive array because people were already all fired up to start installing. Because of the abundant supply of resources provided, Mo Wuji installed the deathtrap array, killing arrays and even added in energy gathering array as well as an illusion array. Mo Wuji honoured his promise as he created eight main controlling array flags used to activate the array. Other than this, Mo Wuji also carved in a bunch of array runes into his defensive array and deathtrap array. For such array runes, he would be the only one who could tell because even Grade 9 immortal array masters could forget about figuring out what Mo Wuji did to the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge. Because Mo Wuji was the Dao Lord and also the person who spearheaded the installation of the defensive array, nobody had any objections about the fact that his main array flag could activate the defensive array and deathtrap array by himself. If a Dao Lord could not even control the activation of the defensive array, what was the point of the Dao Lord? As for the remaining seven people who held onto the array flags, as long as four of them gathered and threw out their array flags together, they would be able to activate the defensive array. These were not Mo Wuji¡¯s main motive as his true method was those void array runes within the defensive array. These void array runes constructed another peak grade deathtrap array which could only be activated by Mo Wuji himself. The installation of the Cosmos Edge¡¯s defensive array was very swift because in just a single month, the entire defensive array was completely constructed. Mo Wuji handed out the controlling array flags before tasking Jie Ying and Feng Huang to deal with the respective rewards to be given out while he started sealing up the other immortal cities meant for the Human Race. Other than the Ping Fan Immortal City, the Human Race had another four more immortal cities in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Because the number of people in the Human Race was simply way too little, they would only occupy the Ping Fan Immortal City for the time being. For the Ping Fan Immortal City, Mo Wuji also installed a peak grade defensive array and deathtrap array before handing the array flags to Immortal Empress Wen Lan and Ape Mo. "Wuji, from the looks of your defensive arrays, it seemed like even experts who surpassed the Dao Emperor Stage might not be able to break through it easily," As he saw Mo Wuji finally completing the defensive array of Ping Fan Immortal City, Ape Mo commented with admiration. He was truly unable to imagine where did Mo Wuji learn his array dao from and how much time he had actually spent learning. Mo Wuji sighed and said, "Back when I cultivated to the Worldly Immortal Stage, I presumed that my strength was incomparable and that nobody would ever be a match again. However, the truth was that I am only a frog in the well who had yet to see the world. Therefore, even though my defensive array might look strong and impenetrable, I am afraid that once true experts intend to open this place up, it would only need a wave of their hand to do so. Mo Wuji was truly emotional as he thought of everything he saw back at the Gods Tower. WIthout mentioning the experts like Yu Minjiang and Ji Li from the Gods Tower, even the revival of any one of those stranded equipment spirit could easily oppress the entire Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. "Is Junior Brother Mo leaving the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos?" While Mo Wuji was installing the defensive array, sealing the other four immortal cities as well as setting up Ping Fan Immortal City¡¯s defensive array, Immortal Empress Wen Lan had always followed closely behind him. She sensed that Mo Wuji seemed to have some inner thoughts. Now that Mo Wuji said such words, she was even more certain that Mo Wuji was going to leave. Mo Wuji nodded, "I am indeed going to leave for a period of time. Senior Sister Wen Lan, Ape Mo, I would like to trouble the two of you with some matters." "Wuji, go ahead and tell us," Ape Mo said without hesitating. Wen Lan looked convincingly at Mo Wuji and even though she didn¡¯t say anything, she had already expressed that as long as it was within her means, she would not let Mo Wuji down. Mo Wuji raised his hand to strike out a soundproof restriction before saying, "My wife is called Cen Shuyin and there was a high possibility that she and another female called Lin Gu came to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. However, I haven¡¯t manage to obtain any news about them during this period of time so when I am not around, I would like to ask the two of you to help me look out for them." "Wuji, you don¡¯t have to worry," Ape Mo nodded. Wen Lan also added in, "Junior Brother Mo, you can rest assure that as long as your wife, Shuyin, is here, I would definitely be able to find her." She and Ape Mo were well aware as to why Mo Wuji would trouble them to help and even struck out the soundproof restrictions to ask for their help. Even though Mo Wuji was the Dao Lord of the Cosmos Edge, there were probably countless of people who wanted Mo Wuji¡¯s head. If people knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s wife was in the Cosmos Edge, they might target Mo Wuji¡¯s wife since they might not be able to deal with Mo Wuji himself. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and replied, "Since that is the case, I shall make my move first. I will come back as soon as I could and then find the pathway which leads back to the Immortal World." The territories in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was decided by Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji was certain that the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos needed the arrival of more Human Race cultivators so that the Human Race could truly establish a proper foothold here. This would be much more ideal than relying on him alone or a small cluster of Human Race cultivators. As she watched upon Mo Wuji¡¯s departure, Immortal Empress Wen Lan was still speechless. She knew that Mo Wuji was the future of the Immortal World¡¯s Human Race and that Mo Wuji was also the person suffering the greatest grievance in the Immortal World. Nobody else was like Mo Wuji where he was cursed and scolded at by many people even before reaching the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Nobody else was like Mo Wuji where he was encircled by three Grand Emperors and one Quasi-Emperor even before he reached the Immortal King Stage. To put things into greater perspective, nobody else was like Mo Wuji fighting his life for the Human Race here while the Very High Heavens¡¯ Zi Changluo was only focused on eradicating his legacy in the form of Ping Fan Immortal School. However, she didn¡¯t dare to tell Mo Wuji about all these because she would have told him if the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos even had a pathway to the Very High Heavens. Now that the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos didn¡¯t have the pathway which leads to the Very High Heavens, telling Mo Wuji would only make him worry and ruin his current mood. Mo Wuji was at the pinnacle of his Grand Dao and was also rising speedily. If she were to affect Mo Wuji¡¯s mood at this crucial period of time and stall Mo Wuji¡¯s progress, she, Wen Lan, would be the most guilty criminal of all time. "Junior Sister Wen Lan, you don¡¯t have to worry about Mo Wuji. He¡¯ll be fine," Ape Mo could sense the Immortal Empress Wen Lan''s worry for Mo Wuji so he casually comforted her. He knew that Mo Wuji was heading towards the Thousand Talismans Mountain and with Mo Wuji¡¯s level of dao, there really wasn¡¯t an existence which could threaten Mo Wuji there. ¡­ The Thousand Talismans Mountain was not in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and was like the Gods Precipice Continent where he needed to cross an immortal chasm. The Gods Precipice Continent and the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was only an immortal chasm apart from each other while the Thousand Talismans Mountain and the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was about four immortal chasm apart. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have the spatial positioning map given by Ape Mo, he would definitely not be able to find the Thousand Talismans Mountain. Within the vast and boundless space, there were all sorts of heavenly chasm, immortal chasm and even different variety of void canyons. Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car was forged just like how Cen Shuyin traded with him and it was handed to Shuai Guo to take the realm. He and Da Huang were both in secluded cultivation. Shuai Guo was asleep for many years and was temporarily unable to continue increasing his cultivation level which was why he was the one controlling the flying car. Da Huang had just been revived by Mo Wuji so he chose to cultivate Immortal Mortal Technique which also required time. Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level had reached the peak of the elementary Immortal Emperor Stage and was only a step away from the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Naturally, he would want to increase his cultivation level to the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage before arriving at the Thousand Talismans Mountain. Chapter 827: Twists and Turns Chapter 827: Twists and Turns Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Twists and Turns The flying car trembled and Mo Wuji came to his senses from his secluded cultivation. That feeling of being disturbed abruptly from enlightenment was something that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t enjoy. The green crystals and immortal crystals which he took out were basically all turned into dust and to be honest, he was certain that if he were given a few more days, he would be able to enter the Immortal Emperor intermediate stage. The pity was that the flying car trembled and now, he could only remain stagnant at the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor elementary stage. "Shuai Guo, what was going on? Don¡¯t you know that Da Huang and I are in the midst of our secluded cultivation?" Mo Wuji raged as he walked onto the deck. "My Lord, our flying car seemed to be suddenly attacked by something causing it to stop," Shuai Guo hurried to explain. It could clearly feel that something like a massive mountain crashed into the flying car but on closer look, it didn¡¯t manage to see anything. Mo Wuji could also feel the fluctuations in space as he took out the spatial map which Ape Mo gave him before saying doubtfully, "This is the Thousand Talismans Mountain? Why are there no longer any entrance?" According to the information Ape Mo provided him, even though cultivators of the Thousand Talismans Mountain would not travel across space, the Thousand Talismans Mountain had always been trading with the world outside. And this position should be where the entrance of the Thousand Talismans Mountain was located at. Shuai Guo commented anxiously, "Yes, yes, I have followed the spatial map and after reaching here, there is no longer anywhere else to go." Mo Wuji opened up the restriction of the flying car and used his spiritual will to scan through the surrounding in details only to find no clue. He instantly condensed his spiritual eye and was indeed able to see a faint void barrier. Mo Wuji extended his arm to grab the faint void barrier and an indistinct cracking sound could be heard. A weak and obscured trace of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in empty space in front of them. A faint mountain range also appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will. "Ai, my Lord, it seems like this place is blocked off by a restriction? No, could this be a domain?" After Shuai Guo advanced to become a Class 7 immortal beast, his knowledge was definitely more than when he was a clueless three-legged bird. "Someone is coming," Mo Wuji extended his arm to stop Shuai Guo from speaking. Once Mo Wuji¡¯s voice was heard, a silhouette suddenly appeared at the place where the torn vestige was previously at. This was a middle age man wearing yellow robe whose face was slightly pale and even had a peculiar energy hovering around him. Mo Wuji only needed one scan to know that he was in the Immortal Emperor elementary stage. The yellow robe man sized Shuai Guo and Mo Wuji up before looking at Mo Wuji, "Why did this Dao Friend here tear the restriction talisman of my Thousand Talismans Mountain without any reason?" He forcefully contained his killing intent but the truth was because Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was simply too terrifying. The Thousand Talismans Mountain was sealed up by a Pseudo-World Talisman which was something even the average Grand Emperors would not be able to breakthrough. In other words, other than the laws which was why it wasn¡¯t as stable as the real world domain, once the Pseudo-World Talisman was used, it wouldn¡¯t be much of a difference when compared to a real world domain. However, this person in front of him was actually able to rip the Thousand Talismans Mountain¡¯s Pseudo-Word Talisman easily which proved how frightening this person truly was. He was at the very least one of those Dao Emperors on the outside. Mo Wuji was never proficient in Talisman Dao so he said apologetically, "I am here specifically to ask for help from the Thousand Talismans Mountain. As I suddenly found out that the spatial position my friend gave me had disappeared, I accidentally tore your mountain¡¯s restriction talisman. I do seek your forgiveness." "Since this is the case, it is too bad for you because my Thousand Talismans Mountain has been sealed off," This yellow robe man said with a very cold tone as he drew out his talisman to repair the pseudo world domain. Mo Wuji frowned before saying calmly, "This Dao Friend here, I have travelled from far away to visit the Thousand Talismans Mountain and the way you treat your guests doesn''t seem very appropriate." "Hahahaha¡­" The yellow robe man laughed out loud but didn¡¯t even reveal a slight smile on his face, "You tore the Pseudo-World Talisman of my Thousand Talisman Mountain and I am already respecting you by not asking you for compensation yet you still say that my acts were inappropriate? Unless you¡¯re telling me that just because this Dao Friend here is a Dao Emperor, you could casually bully my Thousand Talismans Mountain? Even if my Thousand Talismans Mountain was not a peak grade place, we wouldn¡¯t be afraid of a Dao Emperor like you." Mo Wuji¡¯s expression turned serious before saying coldly, "In that case, why does your Thousand Talismans Mountain have to install an offensive array talisman in the void? You should know that any low grade immortal equipments would have been destroyed into nothingness under the attacks of your offensive array talisman. Moreover, while I was cultivating in seclusion, your offensive array talisman struck on my flying car and interrupted my secluded cultivation so who should I get an explanation from?" Initially, because the other party was the Thousand Talismans Mountain and Mo Wuji needed help from the Thousand Talismans Mountain, he didn¡¯t mind even though their offensive array talisman attacked and interrupted his progress to enter the Immortal Emperor intermediate stage. Now that this fella commented such rude remarks, Mo Wuji was indeed starting to feel infuriated. The yellow robe Immortal Emperor continued, "Does that mean my Thousand Talismans Mountain was at fault just because we installed an offensive array talisman around us?" Mo Wuji replied faintly, "Nobody ever said that it was your, Thousand Talismans Mountain, fault for installing a bunch of offensive array talismans within your mountain. However, installing offensive array talismans within the void was indeed a wrongdoing on your part. The path of the void was meant for everyone and not just your Thousand Talismans Mountain alone." After saying these words, Mo Wuji had made his decision not to request for any talisman from them anymore. Looking at their attitude, it would be odd if they would be willing to gift him the talisman which he wanted. "I am unconcerned about the other areas but areas around my Thousand Talismans Mountain would belong to my Thousand Talismans Mountain," The yellow robe man wielded his flying sword. Evidently, the instance Mo Wuji attacked, he would strike back using his flying sword. Mo Wuji was not someone who had to request the Thousand Talismans Mountain for a talisman so desperately as he didn¡¯t even bother with the yellow robe man but turned to Shuai Guo instead, "Shuai Guo, continue controlling the flying car as we will be leaving now. Da Huang, you can continue cultivating as there is no need for you to come out." "Yes, my Lord," Shuai Guo responded promptly. Da Huang, who had just stepped onto the deck heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and went straight back into the flying car. What caught Mo Wuji by surprise was that the moment he turned his back and was prepared to leave, the yellow robe man called out, "Hold on." "What else could be the matter?" Mo Wuji turned around calmly. The other party hid an offensive array talisman which disrupted his secluded cultivation causing him to not enter the Immortal Emperor intermediate stage. On the other hand, he destroyed the other party¡¯s Pseudo-World Talisman so these incidents should have cancelled each other out. As long as the Thousand Talismans Mountain didn¡¯t continue pursuing, he wouldn¡¯t want to bother himself with them anymore. If the Thousand Talismans Mountain chose to bully him, they shouldn¡¯t blame their fate if Mo Wuji turned nasty towards them. Mo Wuji was already so fearless in the Oblique Space Sea Island so why would he be fearful of a mere Thousand Talismans Mountain? As compared to when he faced the Eight Great Grand Emperors of the Oblique Space Sea Island, Mo Wuji¡¯s strength was multiple folds greater than before. What Mo Wuji was surprised was that this yellow robe man actually clasped his fists politely before saying, "I am truly apologetic for the earlier incident and for my problematic attitude. My senior uncle has already found out about this matter and had transmitted a message to reprimand me. If Dao Friend doesn¡¯t mind, why don¡¯t you pay our Thousand Talismans Mountain a visit? As for whichever talismans this Dao Friend needs, I, She Du, would definitely not disappoint you." As he spoke, the yellow robe man sent out a flying messenger sword. Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked at how rapid the change of attitude this She Du displayed. It seemed like the senior uncle of She Du must be of a decent status. "Since this is the case, many thanks then," Mo Wuji came to the Thousand Talismans Mountain for the purpose of requesting for a talisman and since the other party had made this offer to him, he would Indeed, a young female cultivator darted over moments later. The moment this female cultivator arrived, she bowed respectfully to greet She Du, "Huan Feifei greets Deacon She." She Du nodded to this female cultivator before saying, "This is an esteemed guest of our Thousand Talismans Mountain so bring him into the guest hall and I¡¯ll be there soon." Once done, She Du turned apologetically to Mo Wuji, "This friend here, I have to go and invite my senior uncle. Even though I have a few decent talismans on me, I am afraid it might not intrigued you. My senior uncle is a master of talisman and could even forge Grade 9 immortal talismans." Mo Wuji hurried to reply, "Dao Friend She, please go ahead. I will be waiting in the guest hall." "Senior please follow me," Huan Feifei bowed towards Mo Wuji and said respectfully. "En, please lead the way," Mo Wuji kept his flying car as he brought Shuai Guo and Da Huang into the Thousand Talismans Mountain. ¡­ Once Mo Wuji was brought away, there was an extreme delight within She Du¡¯s eyes. His body flashed and he disappeared far away. In half an incense worth of time, he appeared on the periphery of a mountain¡¯s restriction. Once She Du contacted the restrictions, it opened up and a slightly old voice could be heard, "Is there any matter that you would disturb me so abruptly?" She Du hurried to bow and said, "Yes Master, disciple has an extremely important incident to report." "Please come in," The old voice said once more. She Du flashed inside and in less than ten breaths¡¯ worth of time, he entered a stone hall. There were suspended talismans all over the stone hall and a skinny man was seated right in the centre. His back was facing the entrance as his hands held onto a manual with immortal energy exuding out from him. "Please speak," After She Du entered, the skinny man spoke. She Du bowed before saying with a low voice, "Master, I saw a Phecda Clay today." "What?" The originally seated skinny man stood up and stared at She Du excitedly, "Did you just say you saw a Phecda Clay today?" She Du took in a deep breath before nodding his head, "Indeed, I really did see a Phecda Clay today. However, the Phecda Clay was ruined by this fella as he actually used it forge an Immortal Reverent Stage immortal puppet." "How long since the immortal puppet was forged?" The skinny man said with increasing amount of excitement. She Du replied convincingly, "Definitely less than a year because otherwise, my strength wouldn¡¯t have been able to detect the Phecda Clay." "That¡¯s right, if it was more than a year, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to sense the Phecda Clay given your knowledge of the Talisman Dao. Hurry up and tell me where is that person now?" The skinny man wanted to control his excitement within his heart but was unable to control the eagerness in his tone. "He should be here to trade for a talisman and I have already held him back. He is currently waiting at our guest hall. That person was not of a low cultivation level because my guess was that he had barely made half a step into the Saint Stage," She Du said calmly. Chapter 828: I Want Dao Friend Mo’s Immortal Puppet Chapter 828: I Want Dao Friend Mo¡¯s Immortal Puppet Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The skinny man said faintly, "Even if he was in the void and not in the Kun Guest Hall, a fella who had yet to enter the Saint Stage shouldn¡¯t expect to escape from me, Fu Feiyan. Let¡¯s go and meet this person together." "Master, only the two of us?" She Du was slightly hesitant as he was quite fearful of Mo Wuji. The man who addressed himself as Fu Feiyan shouted, "Once something like the Phecda Clay reveals itself, who in the Thousand Talismans Mountain wouldn¡¯t want it? This is a peak grade material for talisman which is capable of reconstructing the heavenly talisman and fleshly body. How could we reveal it to everyone else?" "Yes, Master," She Du hurried to answer. ... "Senior, this is our Kun Guest Hall. May I invite senior to head in?" Huan Feifei brought Mo Wuji to the entrance of a luxurious looking hall. She stopped and extended her arms to direct Mo Wuji. Yet, Mo Wuji stood there with his furrowed brows. Having installed the defensive array of the Cosmos Edge and Ping Fan Immortal City, he consider himself as a legitimate Grade 9 immortal array master. Moreover, there were still some differences between an average Grade 9 immortal array master. The difference was that he deduced his Array Dao from his Immortal Mortal Technique so it was considered to be one of its kind. Because of the Immortal Mortal Technique, Mo Wuji could even treat something ordinary like trees and grass as array flags. Additionally, Mo Wuji was also proficient in void array runes technique. Yet, when standing in front of this guest hall, Mo Wuji felt incredibly uneasy. Other than his sixth sense, Mo Wuji could sense something different given his current standard of Array Dao. This seemed to be an extremely concealed deathtrap array. Mo Wuji frowned at how treacherous She Du''s plan to assassinate him with a plot like this was. "Oh yes, what do you call this hall again?" Mo Wuji questioned. "Kun Guest Hall, this is one of the big three conference hall of our Thousand Talismans Mountain. Usually, we would usher the respectable guests to either the Kun Guest Hall or the Qian Guest Hall," Huan Feifei explained. Mo Wuji sneered at the names of these halls. Kun Guest Hall and Qian Guest Hall in other words would be ¡®trapping guest¡¯ and ¡®capturing guest¡¯. [1] Naturally, a sect which installed concealed deathtrap array within their own guest hall showed how unsurprisingly narrow minded this sect was. Mo Wuji did believe that She Du brought him over to the Kun Guest Hall with ill-intentions. Otherwise, She Du wouldn¡¯t have not asked for Mo Wuji¡¯s name after his 180 degrees change in attitude. In fact, She Du didn¡¯t even ask for Mo Wuji¡¯s name or where he came from throughout their entire encounter. As Mo Wuji was about to install a few void array runes, a haggard looking middle aged man walked over. Huan Feifei hurried to bow and greet this middle aged man as he walked over, "Huan Feifei greets the Talisman Lord." The Talisman Lord of the Thousand Talismans Mountain? Mo Wuji had heard of this person from Ape Mo so he stood out with his clasped fists, "Could this be the Talisman Lord, Fu Xiuhan of the Thousand Talismans Mountain?" The middle aged man looked doubtfully at Mo Wuji as he asked, "I am indeed Fu Xiuhan and may I ask who this Dao Friend is?" Before Mo Wuji could reply, Huan Feifei interjected and said, "This senior is Deacon She¡¯s friend. Deacon She has to attend to some matters and will be very soon." Hearing that Mo Wuji was She Du¡¯s friend, the originally doubtful look of Fu Xiuhan had disappeared without a trace as he said, "Since this is the case, treat the guest properly." Having said that, Fu Xiuhan hurried off and couldn¡¯t even be bothered to listen to what Mo Wuji had to say. Mo Wuji was slightly speechless. Everyone here in the Thousand Talismans Mountain treated him like he was extremely desperate for a talisman. Was a Grade 9 Talisman Emperor very impressive? He, Mo Wuji, was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, Grade 9 Smith Emperor as well as a Grade 9 Array Master. Even so, he didn¡¯t think of himself as impressive. Because of the unfavourable impression Mo Wuji held for the Thousand Talismans Mountain, he continually used his spirit storage channel to carve out array runes after array runes. In a short period of time, the entire entrance of the Kun Guest Hall was filled with Mo Wuji¡¯s array runes. "Senior, please," After Fu Xiuhan left, Huan Feifei bowed and said. Mo Wuji nodded as he secretly drew out a few array flags to hide within his array runes before entering the Kun Guest Hall. Huan Feifei¡¯s had a limited cultivation so she had no idea Mo Wuji actually managed to do so many things in that short period of time. Once Mo Wuji entered the Kun Guest Hall, he knew that the concealed deathtrap array was even stronger inside. In fact, it was chained with the one outside too. He said to Huan Feifei, "You can wait outside while I sit and wait here." "Yes, Senior," Huan Feifei dared not speak much as she left the Kun Guest Hall in a hurry. Huan Feifei left and Mo Wuji grabbed a bunch of array flags. He started to install a counter deathtrap array fearlessly. Simultaneously, he started sketching out array runes. This Kun Guest Hall was also a Grade 9 deathtrap array. For others, countering a deathtrap array of this standard would almost be impossible. Without mentioning how rare it was to find Grade 9 Array Masters, even Grade 9 Array Masters who could notice the Grade 9 deathtrap array wouldn¡¯t be able to counter it in a short period of time. Once someone entered the area covered by this deathtrap array, they could forget about leaving. Mo Wuji was not an average person because he cultivated the Mortal Dao. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, no matter how deep the array flags were concealed, it would simply look ordinary to Mo Wuji. Moreover, Mo Wuji reversed his Immortal Mortal Technique and was thus, skilled at countering such deathtrap arrays. "My Lord, is there something wrong here?" Looking at how Mo Wuji installed the various array flags, Da Huang asked. Shuai Guo said disdainfully, "What do you know? Whether something is wrong or not, our Lord is preparing for the worst. Da Huang, you should watch and learn instead of just cultivating." "Haha I¡¯ve let this Dao Friend wait too long. I am the Thousand Talismans Mountain¡¯s number one Supreme Elder Fu Feiyan. May I ask how do I address this Dao Friend here?" A loud laughter could be heard and a skinny, skeleton-like man walked over. The person behind this man was She Du, who Mo Wuji knew from earlier on. Mo Wuji stood up and said, "Rogue cultivator Mo Wuji greets Dao Friend Fu. I¡¯ve heard of the reputable name of the Thousand Talismans Mountain so I came in hope of a specific talisman." "Alright, let¡¯s take a seat and discuss about this." Fu Feiyan¡¯s eyes instantly fell on Da Huang while he was speaking to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sat down once again and knew why She Du would try to plot against him. The reason must be Da Huang. This Thousand Talismans Mountain must have some impressive technique to be able to see through Da Huang¡¯s Phecda Clay body. "Dao Friend Mo, this immortal puppet seems to have an average type of spirit and wisdom. May I ask where Dao Friend Mo manage to obtain this immortal puppet?" Fu Feiyan didn¡¯t act immediately because he seemed to sense some peculiarity about Mo Wuji. He was half a step into the Saint Stage yet he was unable to sense the spirituality fluctuations around Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji just appeared to look like an ordinary mortal. Fu Feiyan didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji was ordinary. Would an ordinary person be able to tear their Grade 9 Pseudo-World Talisman? Indeed, Mo Wuji smiled as he said, "Da Huang is my friend and had lost his fleshly body during one of the battles. On one rare circumstance, I managed to find a piece of Phecda Clay and used it to condense Da Huang¡¯s fleshly body." "Ah¡­" Fu Feiyan stared at Mo Wuji with a gaping mouth. He was shocked at not only how Mo Wuji said without hesitation that Da Huang was forged using the Phecda Clay, he was even more dumbfounded at how Mo Wuji knew about the Phecda Clay and still used it to forge an immortal puppet¡¯s fleshly body. Had this fella gone crazy? "Sigh!" Fu Feiyan puffed out a breath before containing his emotions as he said, "Dao Friend Mo, may I know where did you get your Phecda Clay from? And if it is convenient to let me know?" Mo Wuji smiled, "There is nothing inconvenient about it. I was within the depths of a trap array and met this benefactor called Yu Minjiang. This benefactor is kind and charitable as he told me about the location of the Phecda Clay and then let me obtain it." "So do you still have any Phecda Clay?" Fu Feiyan asked while feeling uneasy. Fu Feiyan could already tell that Da Huang¡¯s fleshly body had been forged for less than half a year. This meant that they could still retrieve apart of the Phecda Clay from Da Huang. However, the more Phecda Clay he could obtain, the better for him especially so for Phecda Clay which had yet to be used. "I have used everything to recover Da Huang," Mo Wuji maintained his smile. Only half of the Phecda Clay Mo Wuji had was used on Da Huang while the other half was still in his Undying World. Mo Wuji would naturally not bring out a treasure like the Phecda Clay so casually. Fu Feiyan was cursing in his heart at how this fella was ruining this item. "Dao Friend Fu, I¡¯ve heard that the Thousand Talismans Mountain have all sorts of talismans. I wonder if I could request for a few talismans?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to continue blabbering about the Phecda Clay so he simply mentioned his purpose of visit. "May I ask which talismans does Dao Friend Mo need?" Fu Feiyan suppressed his thirst for the Phecda Clay as he inquired calmly. "I would like to ask for a few World Rending Talismans and preferably the World Rending Talisman which could lead me to the Mortal World," Mo Wuji asked while clasping his fists. After his talk with Ape Mo, Mo Wuji knew about the different grades of the World Rending Talisman. The grade of the talisman allowing one to head from the Immortal World to Cultivation World would be lower than that which allowed one to head from the Immortal World straight to the Mortal World. Fu Feiyan replied, "My apologies because a World Rending Talisman like this was something no one in my Thousand Talismans Mountain was able to forge. Without mentioning the World Rending Talisman which could bring one directly to the Mortal World, our Thousand Talismans Mountain didn¡¯t even have a talisman which could bring one from the Immortal World to Cultivation World. If Dao Friend Mo¡¯s cultivation level is below the Grand Luo Stage, I might still be able to help you get a few World Rending Talismans of that grade." Mo Wuji was instantly disappointed when he heard this before sighing with his fist clasped, "Since that is the case, I shall not disturb Dao Friend Fu anymore." "Hold on." Seeing that Mo Wuji was not interested in that Grand Luo World Rending Talisman, Fu Feiyan added. "Dao Friend Mo, even though I might not have a direct method of getting the highest grade World Rending Talisman, I might have an indirect method." "Oh, please share some pointers with me," Mo Wuji was inwardly pleased as he asked. "Does that mean Dao Friend Mo is willing to trade with me?" Fu Feiyan asked again. Mo Wuji knew what the other party was thinking about yet he remained calmed and said. "That¡¯s right, as long as you are able to get me the World Rending Talisman which would allow me to head back to the Cultivation World, I am willing to trade." "Very good, I need Dao Friend Mo¡¯s immortal puppet," Fu Feiyan pointed to Da Huang, who was standing right beside Mo Wuji. [1]: Different words with the same Hanyupinyin. Qian and Kun here are two of the Eight Trigrams of ancient China (as well as two of the ancient Chinese compass points) Chapter 829: I Am Not Trading My Immortal Puppet Chapter 829: I Am Not Trading My Immortal Puppet Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I¡¯m sorry but I am not trading my immortal puppet," Mo Wuji said with a calm tone. Fu Feiyan threw out two array flags as he replied, "That wouldn¡¯t be up for you to decide because since we¡¯ve decided to trade, you have to trade. Since you chose to renege, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite¡­" At the same time Fu Feiyan threw out array flags, Mo Wuji also threw out over ten array flags. The surrounding space changed and an oppressive energy was instantly felt. That was the moment Fu Feiyan sensed that something was amiss. The array flags he threw out didn¡¯t activate the deathtrap array or rather, it did activate the deathtrap array but he wasn¡¯t in control of the array. The deathtrap array didn¡¯t trap Mo Wuji as the boundless killing energy and spatial tears were shrouding Fu Feiyan instead. Evidently, this deathtrap array was controlled by the other party. A dazzling white radiance flashed by and Fu Feiyan saw Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd radiance striking towards his disciple She Du. Despite knowing that the halberd radiance was aimed at She Du, he was completely incapable of stopping it. Blood radiance splattered out and Fu Feiyan only saw a smear of red colour disappearing without a trace. At this moment, he could no longer bother about She Du¡¯s life. Because this Kun Guest Hall was controlled by Mo Wuji, he had to free himself from the deathtrap array as soon as possible. Otherwise, he might suffer the same fate as She Du even if his cultivation level was one level higher than Mo Wuji. "Boom!" A fist directly tore Fu Feiyan¡¯s spatial domain as it exploded towards his forehead. A suffocating heat was felt and Fu Feiyan couldn¡¯t bother about breaking out of the deathtrap anymore. He simply raised his hand as he retrieved and ignited multiple talismans. Mo Wuji¡¯s fist domain appeared like it exploded on an unbroken space producing more exploding spaces. Regardless of how many spaces exploded out, it was unable to hurt Fu Feiyan. Mo Wuji was not anxious because he knew that Fu Feiyan was strong. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, this fella was even slightly stronger than the Eight Great Grand Emperors of the Oblique Space Sea Island. Even so, Fu Feiyan was still not a threat to Mo Wuji. Even without this deathtrap array, he would still be able to finish off Fu Feiyan easily. The reason why he had yet to reveal all his techniques was because he had yet get his hands on the World Rending Talisman. "Dao Friend Mo, please stop. This time, I admit defeat and regardless of what request Dao Friend Mo has, I, Fu Feiyan¡­" How would Fu Feiyan not know that whether it was Array Dao or combat skills, he was never a match for Mo Wuji? If he continued fighting, only death would await him. Even though Fu Feiyan managed to block off Mo Wuji¡¯s Crushing Domain Fist, all sorts of killing energy in the deathtrap array had already torn Fu Feiyan¡¯s skin gruesomely. Mo Wuji was already deep in the fight so why would he stop at this moment? Even if he must stop, he would immobilise Fu Feiyan before considering about stopping. A Spiritual Will Arrow was shot out by Mo Wuji and following the Spiritual Will Arrow was a Remnant Chasm Sacred Art. ... Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t walk far before he could feel the waves of intense explosions within the Kun Guest Hall. He came to a halt subconsciously as he thought of how Mo Wuji was fooled into the Kun Guest Hall as a hostage by Fu Feiyan¡¯s disciple, She Du; This was not the first time something like this happened. However, his title as the Talisman Lord didn¡¯t live up his actual power because he didn¡¯t really have much control over things in the Thousand Talismans Mountain. As for the affairs of Fu Feiyan and his disciple, he was even more powerless to interfere. Today¡¯s situation was something Fu Xiuhan had never seen before. Under normal circumstances, there would usually be no further news of the hostage once he was brought in. The Kun Guest Hall was installed with deathtrap array so even if a strong expert were to enter, it was basically impossible for someone to turn the tides in his own favour against Fu Feiyan and the deathtrap array. Presently, there were intense spatial fighting fluctuations exploding from within the Kun Guest Hall. There was even energy of the laws mixing together with it. In half a second later, Fu Xiuhan finally understood that this time, Fu Feiyan and his disciple had struck an iron panel. He subconsciously turned over and walked towards the Kun Guest Hall. Regardless of what had happened in the past, Fu Feiyan was still a Supreme Elder of the Thousand Talismans Mountain. "Stop¡­" At this moment, Fu Xiuhan actually heard Fu Feiyan¡¯s plea to stop. This person must be incredibly strong was Fu Xiuhan¡¯s first reaction. Despite being trapped by the deathtrap array, this person could even get Elder Fu Feiyan to plead for his life. This could no longer be classified as incredibly strong but simply ridiculously strong. Within the Thousand Talismans Mountain, the number one expert was actually Fu Feiyan. Fu Xiuhan could no longer stand idle as he took a step into the entrance of the Kun Guest Hall before saying with a clear voice, "May I ask that this Dao Friend stop your attack? If there is any form of misunderstanding, my Thousand Talismans Mountain is willing to pay you twice the compensation." Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already sensed the incoming Fu Xiuhan. He was in the Grand Emperor Stage but Mo Wuji suspected that this person¡¯s cultivation would not be lower than the average Dao Emperor. He was plotted by the Thousand Talismans Mountain once so why would he stop now? Even before Fu Xiuhan stepped into his deathtrap array, the Remnant Chasm had already swept up all the spatial killing intent before charging down. Fu Feiyan heard Fu Xiuhan¡¯s voice and was pleasantly surprised. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, Fu Feiyan was confident of getting out o this deathtrap array with the intervention of Fu Xiuhan However, at this very moment, a deathly energy enveloped him. All the killing intent within the deathtrap array was swept in by the deathly energy and was almost crushing Fu Feiyan into pieces. Cold sweat started dripping down Fu Feiyan¡¯s back. The talisman shaped magic treasure in his hands had turned into a space, protecting his own entire body. "Kacha!" Fu Feiyan heard a soft explosion and was scared to his wits. He could actually feel a deathly arrow piercing right into his sea of consciousness. When Mo Wuji first enlightened his Spiritual Will Arrow, he was still unable to control the intensity of the Spiritual Will Arrow. Previously when he fought Pa Lun, his entire body hollowed out after shooting out one arrow. Due to the strength of the Spiritual Will Arrow, Pa Lun was also instantly killed by this one arrow. After which when Mo Wuji cultivation rose significantly, he started controlling the intensity of the Spiritual Will Arrow. Mo Wuji knew that if he circulated his spiritual will and immortal energy wildly, he would also be able to kill Fu Feiyan with one arrow. However, Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t wish to weaken himself by shooting out that one arrow. This was why he only chose to tear Fu Feiyan¡¯s sea of consciousness with that same arrow. To Mo Wuji, this was more than enough. Once his sea of consciousness was torn, the might of his talisman looking magic treasure would be reduced instantaneously. At the same time Fu Feiyan spat out a mouthful of blood, Mo Wuji¡¯s Remnant Chasm Sacred Art landed. "Boom!" The entire Kun Guest Hall was smashed under this halberd attack as a few metres long deep Remnant Chasm expanded outwards in a ghastly manner. "Puff!" A blood fog exploded out and Fu Feiyan¡¯s arm was cleaved off from his shoulder. Fu Xiuhan just landed in the Kun Guest Hall yet the entire hall was already a piece of ruins. Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t have time to bother about the Kun Guest Hall or Mo Wuji as he immediately activated the talisman which produced a green radiance. The green radiance enveloped Fu Feiyan, whose arm was cleaved off by Mo Wuji. Within seconds, the green radiance recovered Fu Feiyan''s physical body. Even after being healed, Fu Feiyan¡¯s face remained as pale as a white sheet of paper. After his body was cleaved apart by Mo Wuji, almost all his vital blood had been wasted. Fu Xiuhan¡¯s talisman might be good but was still unable to heal his vital blood in a short period of time. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart as he knew that Fu Feiyan was finished. Even though Fu Xiuhan managed to recover Fu Feiyan¡¯s body using a talisman, it was only on the surface. Fu Feiyan¡¯s sea of consciousness had been ripped apart and all the spirit channels in his body had been completely destroyed. If Fu Feiyan could still recover from this, that fella must have been extremely fortunate because he must possess the highest grade treasure of Heaven and Earth. Noticing the incredibly pale face of Fu Feiyan, Fu Xiuhan sighed because even he knew that it was over for Fu Feiyan. "May I ask how should I address this Dao Friend here?" Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t question about Mo Wuji¡¯s destruction of the Kun Guest Hall or about heavily injuring Fu Feiyan. He simply clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji to ask this. "Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was calm and couldn¡¯t even be bothered to return his greetings. Mo Wuji had already met this fella once but this fella chose to ignore him. Now that Fu Feiyan and his disciple tried to assassinate him and this fella returned. It would not be Mo Wuji¡¯s character to show him respect at such a moment. Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t mind Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude as he continued to say modestly, "Previously, my Thousand Talismans Mountain was at fault. If Dao Friend Mo wants any talisman, I am willing to trade with you." Fu Xiuhan knew what type of people Fu Feiyan and his disciple were. Even if he didn¡¯t know, how could he not tell that Fu Feiyan and his disciple were going after Mo Wuji¡¯s immortal puppet, Da Huang. "Elder Feiyan, go and rest," Fu Xiuhan glanced coldly at Fu Feiyan before saying with an indistinct tone. "Yes," Fu Feiyan bowed and hurried off. As for Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t even have the guts to look at him. Fu Xiuhan suddenly felt a type of carefree because the Supreme Elder Fu Feiyan of the Thousand Talismans Mountain was never so polite to him. Usually, Fu Feiyan would ignore Fu Xiuhan even if Fu Xiuhan spoke respectfully to him. He subconsciously looked at Mo Wuji and thought to himself that maybe it might not be a bad thing that his Supreme Elder was hurt by this Mo Wuji in front of him. Mo Wuji would naturally not bother about Fu Feiyan as he clasped his fists this time round, "I am intending to go to the Mortal World so I would need a few peak grade World Rending Talismans. I wonder if Talisman Lord would be able to help?" Since Fu Xiuhan admitted their mistake, Mo Wuji had no need to waste his time on Fu Feiyan. Fu Xiuhan was dumbfounded as he said apologetically, "Dao Friend Mo, my Thousand Talismans Mountain was no longer the Talismans Race we used to be. The talismans Dao Friend Mo requested for are in fact, one of the highest grade talismans. Back then, after my Talisman Race suffered a calamity, we went into hiding and no longer had anyone who could forge out talismans of such grade. In fact, we don¡¯t even have any talismans which could allow those above Immortal King to go back to the Cultivation World." This shocked Mo Wuji and made him slightly disappointed. To think that Fu Feiyan was indeed not lying to him; that there was truly no peak grade World Rending Talisman to head down to the Mortal World. Noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s disappointed look, Fu Xiuhan added, "Even though my Thousand Talismans Mountain might not be able to forge such talismans, there is indeed one more way. However, I am afraid that by revealing this method, Dao Friend Mo might think that I have ill-intentions." Chapter 830: The True Realm Chapter 830: The True Realm Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Talisman Lord, please go ahead and tell me about it. I, Mo Wuji, would be able to distinguish between good and ill-intentions," Mo Wuji replied courteously. The World Rending Talisman was of great importance to him and even if he was unable to return to Earth, returning to the Immortal World would be good enough too. Having left the Immortal World for such a long time, even Mo Wuji began to miss things there. "My Talisman Race was actually an ancient race but had now fallen to being worse than an intermediate grade sect. Presently, we have deviated so far from average that we wouldn¡¯t even dare to enter the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos¡­" Fu Xiuhan sighed. Mo Wuji asked, "Previously, the person who tried to steal my items, Fu Feiyan, should be a peak grade Dao Emperor right? With an expert like this in your Talisman Race, you should have some foothold even if you enter the Heaven¡¯s Beyond right? Moreover, with an expert like this around, you should be able to find a place to survive even if you weren¡¯t at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." Mo Wuji was indeed curious because Fu Feiyan¡¯s strength had definitely surpassed the majority of Dao Emperors back at the Heaven¡¯s Beyond. The Talisman Race shouldn¡¯t have found it difficult to establish a strong foothold in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos with an expert like Fu Feiyan around. Fu Xiuhan shook his head, "Dao Friend Mo might not know the full story. Elder Fu Feiyan was indeed very strong but he had no interest in the Talisman Race. In his eyes, the Sage Dao Talisman of the Thousand Talismans Island was of the utmost importance. If it wasn¡¯t for the Sage Dao Talisman, Fu Feiyan would have left the Thousand Talismans Mountain a long time ago. Previously, I stopped Dao Friend Mo not because Elder Fu Feiyan made great contributions to our Thousand Talismans Mountain or how important he was to the Talisman Race. The only reason would be that once Elder Fu Feiyan was killed, there would no longer be any more experts in the Thousand Talismans Mountain. Mo Wuji revealed a faint smile as he didn¡¯t comment anything. Fu Xiuhan might be a Grand Emperor but he was definitely not any weaker than the average Dao Emperors. Therefore, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t make much of Fu Xiuhan¡¯s words and Fu Xiuhan could forget about trying to confuse Mo Wuji. As for the Sage Dao Talisman of the Thousand Talismans Mountain, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t interested. "Actually, Dao Friend Mo said something wrongly earlier on," Fu Xiuhan suddenly changed the topic of conversation. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Do enlighten me." Fu Xiuhan replied, "If Dao Friend Mo doesn¡¯t mind, could you follow me back to the Talisman Lord Residence where I cultivated?" "Since this is the case, Talisman Lord please lead the way," Mo Wuji was not fearful of any tricks Fu Xiuhan would try to play on him. Any tricks would remain pointless in front of true strength. ¡­ The Kun Guest Hall was located at the waist of the Thousand Talismans Mountain so Mo Wuji presumed the Talisman Lord Residence would be at the summit of the mountain. Unexpectedly, Fu Xiuhan actually brought Mo Wuji to the foot of the mountain. Located right at the foot of the mountain was a lonely looking hall which had three huge words carved on it: Talisman Lord Residence. Looking at how doubtful Mo Wuji was, Fu Xiuhan laughed, "The summit of the Thousand Talismans Mountain was occupied by Elder Fu Feiyan. This is indeed where I, the Talisman Lord, stay." In actual fact, Mo Wuji had no interest in any gossips within the Thousand Talismans Mountain so he didn¡¯t even bother to question any further. The spiritual will from his spirit storage channel had already scanned through the entire space around him except the back of the hall which was inaccessible using his spiritual will. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t find any sort of marks or traces of deathtrap arrays here. This improved Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of Fu Xiuhan because if he were to find all sorts of deathtrap array here readied to trap Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t guarantee that he wouldn¡¯t raze the entire Thousand Talismans Mountain when he leaves. Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t speak much as he took the initiative to serve Mo Wuji a cup of immortal tea after ushering him to his seat in the Talisman Lord Residence. It was only after this that he said, "Earlier on, Dao Friend Mo said that Fu Feiyan was a Dao Emperor but this was actually wrong." Mo Wuji was dumbfounded. Could Fu Feiyan be a Grand Emperor too? That¡¯s not right, Fu Feiyan was certainly even stronger than some of the Dao Emperors he fought in the Oblique Space Sea Island so how could he be a Grand Emperor? Unless the cultivation technique of the Talisman Race was truly this mighty? Similar to his Immortal Mortal Technique where the strength would surpass those of the same stage? "Dao Friend Mo, do you know what is after the Dao Emperor Stage?" Fu Xiuhan saw Mo Wuji¡¯s confused eyes so he asked. "Wasn¡¯t it the Grand Emperor Stage?" Mo Wuji asked subconsciously. Fu Xiuhan shook his head, "A Grand Emperor was actually also an Immortal Emperor but because of the deficiency in the Laws of Heaven and Earth, it remained very difficult for Immortal Emperors to reach the pinnacle. Therefore, everyone addressed this rare few Immortal Emperors who managed to reach the pinnacle as Grand Emperors. The truth was that Immortal Emperor and Grand Emperor were both of the same stage without any qualitative differences." Mo Wuji clasped his fist in a serious manner, "Do continue enlightening me." He had already noticed how Fu Xiuhan was much more knowledgeable in terms of realms. Previously, Mo Wuji only knew about Immortal Emperor, Grand Emperor and Dao Emperor. Fu Xiuhan said with a straight face, "After the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor Stage would be the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. Because of the same deficiency in the Laws of Heaven and Earth, cultivating to the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage was much more difficult than before. This was also why many Immortal Emperors started enlightening their own laws of the Grand Dao after cultivating to the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. They made use of the countless years of experience and accumulation to enlighten their very own law. Once the enlightenment of the law is complete, they could stimulate out the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage and witness a significant increase in strength. This was not only a physical improvement but also in terms of their understanding of the Dao. Hence, this group of people who used their own laws to stimulate out the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage was called the Dao Emperors." Mo Wuji was extremely shocked. He knew that Grand Emperors were still within the category of Immortal Emperors and had also guessed that Dao Emperors were also the same. Now that Fu Xiuhan had explained in such details, his guess was indeed right. In fact, they couldn¡¯t even be considered as a true expert in the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage as they simply stimulated using their own laws. "This means that both Grand Emperor Stage and Dao Emperor Stage belonged to the same Immortal Emperor Realm. Not many people outside the Talisman Race knew of this explanation and this was the first time I actually told someone who is not in the Talisman Race," Fu Xiuhan explained. The reason why Fu Xiuhan was willing to explain everything thoroughly to Mo Wuji was that he wanted to befriend Mo Wuji. He believed that Mo Wuji was definitely someone worth befriending. Given Mo Wuji¡¯s power, there was simply no one who could deal with him after the death of Fu Feiyan. Precisely because of this, Fu Xiuhan was convinced that Mo Wuji was a man with principles. This was because even after he arrived at the scene of battle, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t stop him from saving Fu Feiyan. Not only this, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even ask for Fu Feiyan¡¯s storage ring. A person like this was truly almost extinct even in the vast and boundless cosmos. Mo Wuji stood up and clasped his fists respectfully once more, "Regardless of whether I managed to get the talisman I want today, I have already benefited a lot from the words of the Talisman Lord. Many thanks, Talisman Lord. If the Talisman Race choose to visit the Heaven¡¯s Beyond in the future, I, Mo Wuji, would definitely give the Talisman Race a place to stand." Fu Xiuhan was stunned as he stared at Mo Wuji. Despite knowing that Mo Wuji was not simple, wasn¡¯t this guarantee from Mo Wuji a little too exaggerating? The Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was such a huge, extensive and complicated place where all sorts of forces interact with each other. For a small and insignificant race like the Talisman Race, any random fight between two big races would easily crush them into extinction. Mo Wuji¡¯s promise of giving them a place to stand in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was simply¡­ Seeing that Fu Xiuhan was still in shock, Mo Wuji said, "I am sorry for the brief introduction of myself earlier on. I am actually from the Heaven¡¯s Beyond and am now the first Dao Lord of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." "Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos has a Dao Lord now?" Fu Xiuhan muttered to himself as he finally understood. He stood up hurriedly before looking at Mo Wuji anxiously, "Dao Lord Mo, is there a change to the structure of the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos?" Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes it has changed. In the past, the Gods Race which has been bullying and killing other races for fun have been exterminated under my lead. There is no longer any Gods Race in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and I am now the Dao Lord. Under my reign, there are five defenders of the Cosmos and they are Dao Emperors of the Demon Race, Blood Race, Sky Race, Sea Race and Devil Race respectively. No, they should be called experts in the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage instead." Fu Xiuhan was barely able to contain the excitement in his heart as he bowed, "Many thanks Dao Lord Mo for allowing my Talisman Race to head into the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Dao Lord Mo, do go ahead to instruct and I, Fu Xiuhan, would do my utmost best to complete the task." Fu Xiuhan was truly excited because the only reason the Talisman Race didn¡¯t dare to head out was their fear of being crushed to death if they did. Even so, Fu Xiuhan knew in his heart that even if the Talisman Race remained in the Thousand Talismans Mountain, they would eventually be obliterated within the boundless universe. Their only hope of blooming again would be to walk out of their Thousand Talismans Mountain. In fact, the number of people in the Talisman Race had been decreasing and they had reached a state where they had to head out now or face the consequences of extinction. Even so, the Elder Fu Feiyan didn¡¯t bother about the livelihood of the people in the Talisman Race as he continued to conceal the Thousand Talismans Mountain with the Pseudo-World Talisman just so he could cultivate the Sage Dao Taliman. Mo Wuji got Fu Xiuhan to sit back down before taking out a token for him, "Talisman Lord, go ahead to bring your people to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos and this token allows you own a shop there. I believe that with the capabilities of your Talisman Race, you would be able to continue developing with a shop. After reaching the Cosmos Edge, hand this token to Castellan Feng Huang or any of the five defenders of the Cosmos or even the eight enforcers. You don¡¯t have to worry about the Cosmos Edge being like what it used to be because that place is now fair and just." "Thank you, thank you¡­" Fu Xiuhan took over the token appreciatively and he couldn¡¯t wait to send people over to the Cosmos Edge now. The Cosmos Edge was not only ideal for starting a business, the main gathering area of the resources was also at the periphery of the Cosmos Edge. Anyone who wished to head there would have to pass by the Cosmos Edge. Moreover, with the materials left behind by their ancestors, the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos was the key location to leave this world. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Dao Friend Fu, this is also the best that I could do for you. May I ask Talisman Lord about the realm after the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage?" Fu Xiuhan finally calmed himself down before explaining, "Originally, one should face the restrains of the Laws of Heaven and Earth after the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. They would then go on to face their lightning tribulation before advancing into a whole new realm. However, after that great war between Gods, the world domain crumbled and the laws were disrupted. The whole new realm no longer had any order and nobody knew the specific situation in that whole new realm. This was why for those cultivators who had gone beyond the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage, our Talisman Race called them as Half-Sage." Chapter 831: Exchange Chapter 831: Exchange Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji remained speechless as he recalled of his trip to the Gods Tower. He was well aware that even if he were to cultivate to the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage, he would still be considered an ant in the eyes of others. Now that this point had been further reaffirmed to Mo Wuji, his heart still felt helpless and frustrated. After a while, Mo Wuji replied, "I¡¯ve truly benefited greatly from the words of Talisman Lord today. Previously, Talisman Lord mentioned something about a method of getting the peak grade World Rending Talisman. May I further inquire about it?" Fu Xiuhan hurried to answer, "Have Dao Lord Mo seen Fu Feiyan¡¯s magic treasure?" Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes I have, it was a talisman shaped magic treasure." Frankly speaking, Mo Wuji had many sorts of talismans before but it was his first time seeing a talisman shaped magic treasure. Fu Xiuhan explained, "Fu Feiyan¡¯s magic treasure was actually made with reference to our Talisman Race¡¯s Sage Dao Talisman. Back then, my Talisman Race offended an expert and was exterminated by that expert. Eventually, some experts of our Talisman Race brought the remaining few survivors and ignited our race protecting treasure, Sage Dao Talisman. The Sage Dao Talisman escaped into the void and transcended several planes and worlds before arriving here. As a result, these experts, who managed to ignite the Sage Dao Talisman, lost their life force. Fortunately, there was a continuous and long stretch of gigantic mountains here. Because we were unable to shift the Sage Dao Talisman away, our Talisman Race could only transform and rename this stretch of mountains as the Thousand Talismans Mountain and resided in here." Mo Wuji asked, "This should be the top secrets of the Talisman Race so why would Talisman Lord be telling me these?" With a ridiculed laughter, Fu Xiuhan said, "This was indeed the top secret of our Talisman Race but if we continue to keep this secret to ourselves, we would be facing extinction very soon. As my Talisman Race resided here at the Thousand Talismans Mountain, our population decreases with each passing day. As for cultivators above the Immortal Emperor Stage, there was only one other person who was closing in to the end of his longevity besides Elder Fu Feiyan, his disciple and myself. I believe that Dao Lord Mo is a trustworthy person and moreover, you would need the Sage Dao Talisman to ask for the World Rending Talisman which was why I choose to tell you these." Fu Xiuhan truly believed that Mo Wuji was not a despicable person. More importantly, Fu Xiuhan knew that there would no longer be any future for the people of the Talisman Race to continue living on the Thousand Talismans Mountain. Even if he didn¡¯t tell Mo Wuji about this, his Talisman Race could only await upon their death. Now that Mo Wuji had given his Talisman Race an opportunity to survive in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, it would be rightful for his Talisman Race to go into extinction if he, Fu Xiuhan, didn¡¯t make full use of the opportunity given. "Talisman Lord please go ahead and explain," Mo Wuji nodded as he roughly managed to understand Fu Xiuhan¡¯s intention. Fu Xiuhan nodded and said in a seriously tone, "Not only does the Sage Dao Talisman contained the highest grade talisman of our Talisman Race, it even concealed countless peak grade talismans within it. Fu Feiyan¡¯s reason for staying behind was so that he could refine the Sage Dao Talisman. The pity was that the Sage Dao Talisman was no easy feat to refine and throughout the countless years, nobody of our Talisman Race managed to refine it. I am telling Dao Lord Mo about this matter today is because our Talisman Race could no longer keep hold of this Sage Dao Talisman." "Could it be that Talisman Lord wants me to enter the Sage Dao Talisman to look for the World Rending Talisman?" Mo Wuji questioned. Fu Xiuhan replied, "I know that my words sounded like I am repaying gratitude with ill intentions but the truth is just like that." Fu Xiuhan paused for a moment before continuing, "The Thousand Talismans Mountain was never considered a world and had almost no laws here. I know that if our Talisman Race refused to be exterminated, we would have to leave this place. If my Talisman Race leaves, we wouldn¡¯t be able to bring the Sage Dao Talisman away. Instead of leaving it for any random expert that passes by, I would rather Dao Lord Mo has it. If Dao Lord Mo is able to bring the Sage Dao Talisman away, the Sage Dao Talisman shall belong to Dao Lord Mo. I am well aware that the Sage Dao Talisman is extremely difficult to bring away. However, there is indeed World Rending Talisman within the Sage Dao Talisman. There is a 90% chance of death if you choose to enter the Sage Dao Talisman to look for the World Rending Talisman. Countless experts of my Talisman Race have indeed found many peak grade talismans within it but less than 10 made it back out alive; Fu Feiyan was one of them. Therefore, it is entirely up to Dao Lord Mo to decide if he wants to enter the Sage Dao Talisman." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. The Talisman Race is about to leave this place without the Sage Dao Talisman. Even if he didn¡¯t meet Fu Xiuhan, he would have seen the Sage Dao Talisman here and would have tried his luck in refining it. Regardless, the fact that Fu Xiuhan talked about this from the onstart proved that he was a straightforward and upright person. Whenever Mo Wuji interacts with another person, he would always think on the good side of people first. No matter what, a Talisman Lord was also considered a Race Lord and to make a decision like this must not be easy at all. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji said, "No matter the reason, the fact that Talisman Lord was able to say such words increased my admiration for you. In the future when the pathway between my Immortal World¡¯s Human Race and the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos is opened, my Immortal World would welcome your Talisman Race with open arms. Whether or not I am able to refine the Sage Dao Talisman, these two vases of pills shall be used as an exchange gift for Talisman Lord." Mo Wuji took out two vases of pills as he handed it to Fu Xiuhan. Fu Xiuhan was a little confused because even though his Talisman Race might be poor, he shouldn¡¯t be so poor that he couldn¡¯t even afford two vases of immortal pills right? Even Tier 9 immortal pills wouldn¡¯t count for much to his Talisman Race. Even so, Fu Xiuhan bowed respectfully as he accepted the two jade vases given by Mo Wuji. When his spiritual will scanned through the pills within the vases, a shocked look was revealed. "This, this is actually two vases of True Emperor Pills?" A True Emperor Pill would allow an expert in the Great Circle of the Immortal Reverent Stage to gain insights on the Immortal Emperor Realm. Despite being behind in value to the Emperor Dao Pill, every one of such pills was worthy of an entire city. To any race, a pill like this was the most effective for combat. Because of the lack of resources, the Talisman Race had always been unable to produce a new Immortal Emperor. Mo Wuji was basically making a huge contribution for the development of his Talisman Race. Mo Wuji gave the Talisman Race two vases of True Emperor Pill and that add up to a total of 12 pills. In terms of pricing, these wouldn¡¯t even be comparable to a corner of the Sage Dao Talisman. From a different perspective, these two vases of True Emperor Pills were what the Talisman Race needed the most desperately. As for the Sage Dao Talisman which Fu Xiuhan promised Mo Wuji, it was like the moon in the lake: only meant for viewing. Countless years had passed and nobody in the Talisman Race had been successful in refining the Sage Dao Talisman. It would be a complete joke if an outsider simply came in and successfully refined the Sage Dao Talisman. Fu Xiuhan kept the True Emperor Pills cautiously before bowing towards Mo Wuji, "Dao Lord Mo, if you¡¯re still willing to look for the World Rending Talisman in the Sage Dao Talisman, I can bring you there now." Not only did Mo Wuji promise to allow the Talisman Race to reside in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, he also promised a place in the Immortal World. Additionally, Mo Wuji even gifted him two vases of True Emperor Pills. On the other hand, he, Fu Xiuhan, merely promised him an unrefinable Sage Dao Talisman to Mo Wuji. Comparatively, the differences in offers between Fu Xiuhan and Mo Wuji was simply too drastic. "Irregardless, I have to go and take a look. Talisman Lord, please lead the way," Mo Wuji said without any hesitation. If that Fu Feiyan managed to survive the Sage Dao Talisman, why wouldn¡¯t he, Mo Wuji, be able to do the same? It didn¡¯t matter to Mo Wuji if he could refine the Sage Dao Talisman. What mattered to Mo Wuji was that he could find a World Rending Talisman within the Sage Dao Talisman. Fu Xiuhan nodded but didn¡¯t continue to say anything. He walked to the periphery of the back wall of the Talisman Lord Hall and spat out a mouthful of blood. A pathway suddenly appeared within the ordinary looking hall and Fu Xiuhan pointed as he said, "Dao Lord Mo, this pathway leads directly to my Talisman Race¡¯s Sage Dao Talisman." While speaking, Fu Xiuhan had already set foot onto the pathway. Mo Wuji kept Da Huang and Shuai Guo as he followed Fu Xiuhan onto the pathway. In merely tens of breaths, he was already standing on the periphery of a void. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was unable to scan through it. He certainly didn¡¯t expect such a vast and boundless void right behind the Talisman Lord Hall. Within the void in front of him was a blurry talisman suspended in mid air. A faint silver colour could be seen from the talisman while the surrounding was shrouded in fog. A vast and boundless energy surged over and Mo Wuji knew in that instance that this was definitely not a simple talisman. "Dao Lord Mo, this is the Sage Dao Talisman of my Talisman Race. It has been suspending here for countless years but nobody has been able to refine it." Fu Xiuhan sighed. He, Fu Xiuhan, was also one of the few who made it out alive from the Sage Dao Talisman and he was also unable to define it. Between the Sage Dao Talisman or the survival of his Talisman Race, he had chosen the survival of the Talisman Race. "Many thanks Talisman Lord for bringing me here. May I ask how do I enter the Sage Dao Talisman?" Mo Wuji was immediately interested in entering the Sage Dao Talisman at the sight of it. A talisman with such boundlessness was simply equivalent to a universe. Fu Xiuhan answered, "The Sage Dao Talisman required the blood of the descendants of my Talisman Race and it only opened once every thousand years. If Dao Lord Mo has made his decision, I can send Dao Lord Mo inside now." Requires the blood of the descendants of the Talisman Race? Mo Wuji also understood how Fu Xiuhan would actually be making some sort of contribution too. In other words, if the Talisman Race left, no one would be there to open the Sage Dao Talisman. Without mentioning how he wouldn¡¯t be able to refine it, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter the Sage Dao Talisman. Given the how vast and humongous this talisman was, Mo Wuji was certain that he wouldn¡¯t be strong enough to enter this talisman alone. If Fu Xiuhan left after bringing Mo Wuji here, Mo Wuji believed that the items he gave Fu Xiuhan would be sufficient. Now that Fu Xiuhan even used his blood so that he could enter the talisman, Mo Wuji felt that the items were still not enough. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t one who liked to take advantage of someone else as he suddenly recalled how Fu Feiyan wanted his Phecda Clay. Mo Wuji knew that this item must be fatally important to the Talisman Race. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji took out the remaining half portion of Phecda Clay before saying, "Even if I am unable to refine this Sage Dao Talisman, this was after all the number one treasure of the Talisman Race. I have nothing much to exchange for it so I shall gift this Phecda Clay to your Talisman Race." "Ah¡­" Fu Xiuhan was dumbfounded because the price of this piece of Phecda Clay from Mo Wuji was basically impossible to estimate. All he did was to show Mo Wuji the way to the unrefinable Sage Dao Talisman before he leaves. Even so, he knew that the reason why Mo Wuji chose to take out this Phecda Clay eventually was because he didn¡¯t know that Taliman Race¡¯s blood was needed initially. Mo Wuji was indeed a straightforward and upright person too. This made Fu Xiuhan even more convinced that he would not lose a friend like Mo Wuji. He had a feeling that even if Mo Wuji was unable to refine this Sage Dao Talisman, he would be able to emerge from it safely. An additional friend like Mo Wuji was something his Talisman Race would definitely cherish. "Dao Lord Mo, I am afraid I cannot accept this Phecda Clay. After all, the odds of Dao Lord Mo being able to refine this Sage Dao Talisman was less than 1%. If I continue to accept the Phecda Clay, it is simply¡­" Chapter 832: Fast Change of Scene Chapter 832: Fast Change of Scene Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "But if I managed to refine it?" Despite knowing that the Phecda Clay was a supreme treasure to the Talisman Race, Mo Wuji was really unwilling to take advantage of them. Another reason was that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t actually understand the real use of the Phecda Clay. All he heard was the small portion from Shuai Guo. The truth was that the Phecda Clay was actually a supreme treasure not only to the Talisman Race but every cultivator. In Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, nothing would happen if he was unable to refine the Sage Dao Talisman. However, if he managed to refine it, taking out the Phecda Clay now would do him good in the future. After all, the Sage Dao Talisman was still a treasure of the Talisman Race. Fu Xiuhan said in a serious tone, "If Dao Lord Mo is able to refine the Sage Dao Talisman, this proves the affinity between Dao Lord Mo and the Sage Dao Talisman and it should belong to Dao Lord Mo. I know that Dao Lord Mo is upright and straightforward but the price of this big piece of Phecda Clay is simply¡­ This might be the only piece of Phecda Clay left in this cosmos¡­" While speaking, Fu Xiuhan could sense that Mo Wuji was truly sincere in giving this Phecda Clay to him. Therefore, he continued, "Since you insist, why don¡¯t we split this Phecda Clay into two? Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have the face to become friends with Dao Lord Mo. A friend who only knows how to receive benefits and not sacrifice is not considered a true friend." To Fu Xiuhan, the piece of Phecda Clay which Mo Wuji brought out was simply too big. His understanding of the Phecda Clay might be more than Mo Wuji but even he was still unable to gauge the true value of a Phecda Clay. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to delay any more time so he used his Kun Wu Sword to split the Phecda Clay into two without hesitation. A terrifying sword intent overwhelmed the entire void around them and the Phecda Clay was already divided into two very soon after. An item like the Phecda Clay needed to be refined immediately after cutting it apart. Otherwise, it would turn extremely hard afterward. Mo Wuji kept his half of the Phecda CLay before handing the other half to Fu Xiuhan. "We shall go according to Brother Fu¡¯s words then. Brother Fu shall be my friend from today onwards." Fu Xiuhan was also unwilling to take advantage of Mo Wuji and this made Mo Wuji admired him even more. Fu Xiuhan could even reject an item like the Phecda Clay and this proved that he was truly a person worth befriending. At the sight of the Kun Wu Sword, Fu Xiuhan¡¯s heart was even more impressed. He was certain that during his battle with Fu Feiyan, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even display half of his true strength. Even the terrifying sword intent which he had just witnessed should be able to split the entire Thousand Talismans Mountain into many pieces. "To be able to befriend a person like Brother Mo is truly my fortune. Since this is the case, I shan¡¯t reject it any further." Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t stand on any ceremony as he kept the half of the Phecda Clay. He was also pleased that Mo Wuji was no longer addressing him as Talisman Lord. Evidently, Mo Wuji started treating him as a true friend. After keeping the Phecda Clay carefully, Fu Xiuhan indicated to Mo Wuji the suspending talisman before striking out a few hand signs. Mo Wuji was an array master and had even analysed a sacred art like the Seven World Fingers before. While watching Fu XIuhan¡¯s hand signs, he seemed to have seen a whole new world. Fu Xiuhan¡¯s hand signs were the combination of talisman signs and array dao restrictions as it formed a unique dao hand technique. Closely packed hand signs were struck by Fu Xiuhan and after half an incense worth of time, Fu Xiuhan suddenly smacked his forehead. A strikingly red blood was smacked out by him and sent into the void as it entered that suspending silver talisman. A faint silver radiance appeared from the massive silver talisman and these silver radiance quickly turned into a massive silver gate. The gate was faint and it looked like it could break anytime. Fu Xiuhan¡¯s face was slightly pale and he didn¡¯t hesitate as he continued to smack out blood. The faint looking gate started to become clear and it turned into a gate which at least one person could enter. "Brother Mo, hurry in. We shall meet in the future again," Fu Xiuhan called out for Mo Wuji desperately. He knew that once Mo Wuji entered the Sage Dao Talisman, he would only exit after many years or even not come out ever again. "Many thanks Brother Fu, please speak your mind if you have any problems you need my help with in the future," Mo Wuji clasped his fists and his body flashed as he entered the silver gate. Mo Wuji just entered the gate and the silver gate disappeared. Fu Xiuhan heaved a sigh of relief. He had opened the Sage Dao Talisman countless times but he always felt that it was getting increasingly harder to open it. If there was a next time again, he had doubts as to whether he would actually be able to open it successfully. Truthfully, this was another reason why Fu Xiuhan chose to leave the Thousand Talismans Mountain and not continue protecting the Sage Dao Talisman. One aspect was the decreasing number of people with Talisman Race¡¯s blood and the other aspect was his own gut feel that the Sage Dao Talisman was getting increasingly unrelated to the Talisman Race. He was afraid that a few more years later, even the blood of the Talisman Race might not be able to open the Sage Dao Talisman up. At that point in time, the Talisman Race would basically not be able to call the Sage Dao Talisman theirs. Before Fu Xiuhan could regain his senses, an extremely loud explosion caused the entire void around him to tear apart. Following which, Fu Xiuhan stared blankly at the silver light shooting in all four directions in front of him. The Sage Dao Talisman began rotating at extreme speed and the mightily powerful force and energy made Fu Xiuhan feel that this place could explode into pieces in the very next moment. The entire void, including the Thousand Talismans Mountain, would be crushed into pieces by this force. "Not good," Fu Xiuhan¡¯s heart froze. He suspected that because he sent in a person without the Talisman Race¡¯s blood, the Sage Dao Talisman started acting so violently. Even though he felt guilty like he had let Mo Wuji down, Fu Xiuhan knew that his priority now would be to shift everyone in the Talisman Race to safety. Fu Xiuhan didn¡¯t waste time pondering as he darted out of the Talisman Lord Hall and shouted, "As the Talisman Lord of the Thousand Talismans Mountain, I am ordering everyone to leave the Thousand Talismans Mountain at once. This place is about to be swallowed by the void so everyone has to leave right now." Even without waiting for Fu Xiuhan¡¯s orders, the people of the Talisman Race could feel that something was amiss. It wasn¡¯t just the trembling of space or the messing up of laws, the entire Thousand Talismans Mountain was trembling violently as if an earthquake. Fu Xiuhan rushed out of the Thousand Talismans Mountain and had already drawn out a massive flying ship stopped outside the Thousand Talismans Mountain. Tens of thousands of people had rushed out of the Thousand Talismans Mountain onto this ship. As he watched upon the collapse of the Thousand Talismans Mountain as well as the destruction of the void in front of him, Fu Xiuhan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He continued to control the flying ship out of that area. The only person who didn¡¯t escape the Thousand Talismans Mountain was Fu Feiyan. Fu Feiyan had his cultivation wasted by Mo Wuji and without anyone¡¯s help, he was simply unable to escape on his own. "Boom!" A frightening explosion was heard and including Fu Xiuhan, everyone in the Talisman Race heard it clearly. The void around them started collapsing and the faraway Thousand Talismans Mountain had been destroyed into nothingness. Even Fu Xiuhan¡¯s flying ship felt the waves of explosions and started trembling violently. "Talisman Lord, what has happened? Where are we heading to now?" The one other Immortal Emperor walked over to inquire more from Fu Xiuhan. Fu Xiuhan looked at the missing Thousand Talismans Mountain as he sighed and said, "Even though it was a little rushed, it made my heart more resolute than ever. We shall head towards the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos now and that shall be where we carry on our lives." ¡­ The instance Mo Wuji entered the Sage Dao Talisman, he felt something was amiss. Previously, his guess was that the Sage Dao Talisman was only a dangerous world something like a secret realm. After entering this place, Mo Wuji knew that he was wrong. The space around him was blurry and he was unable to see any sky, ground or basically anything at all. The only thing he could feel was the constant warping of space ever since he entered. Even though Mo Wuji knew the Wind Escape Technique and was capable of hiding long here, he knew this wasn¡¯t a long-term solution to his problem. As time goes by, the warped space would certainly be able to tear him into pieces. "Ai!" A lacerating pain was felt across Mo Wuji¡¯s thigh and a large piece of meat was missing from Mo Wuji¡¯s thigh. Regardless how unwilling Mo Wuji was to enter his Undying World or how his Undying World could be destroyed by the warped space, he had no choice but to enter his Undying World now. No wonder Fu Xiuhan would say that there was a 90% chance of death in this place. How could this be 90%? It was almost certainly 100% death if he didn¡¯t do anything. No wait, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of how Fu Feiyan was also able to enter the Sage Dao Talisman. Mo Wuji was well aware of Fu Feiyan¡¯s capabilities and that he was indeed an expert. However, he wouldn¡¯t believe if someone were to say that Fu Feiyan was stronger than himself. If Fu Feiyan wasn¡¯t stronger, how was Fu Feiyan able to survive in the Sage Dao Talisman? Or could it be that the danger Fu Feiyan faced after entering this place wasn¡¯t this terrifying warped space? "My Lord, should I shift the Breath of HongMeng over?" Shuai Guo ran over as he saw how Mo Wuji entered the Undying World injured once again. "Hurry up and go cultivate," Mo Wuji said impatiently. If an injury like this needed the Breath of Hong Meng, his tempered physique would simply be too worthless. Shuai Guo looked helplessly over at the cultivating Da Huang as it went on to find a place to start cultivating. To Shuai Guo, the most torturous thing was cultivating. As long as it didn¡¯t need to cultivate, it was willing to do anything. Who would have expected that after reaching Class 7, it would still need to cultivate? Mo Wuji used his spiritual will cautiously to seep out as he sensed that the space outside was still constantly being warped. Mo Wuji shook his head and cleared his mind. Fortunately, his Undying World was small and while the warped space was sweeping up the space around his Undying World, it was unable to affect or tear his Undying World apart. Even though he almost lost his life earlier on, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t suspect Fu Xiuhan. His intuition told him that Fu Xiuhan and Fu Feiyan were two very different people. The situation he found himself in after entering the Sage Dao Talisman would definitely not have anything to do with Fu Xiuhan. It was highly likely that Fu Xiuhan wasn¡¯t even aware of what had happened inside. Chapter 833: Ism Truly Too Strong Chapter 833: I''m Truly Too Strong Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The warped space continuously folded and twisted. Mo Wuji wasn''t in the mood, but he was also afraid of staying idle within his Undying World. His Undying World was not stable; he was worried that a period of carelessness could cause this warped space to tear his Undying World apart. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was constantly revolving outside his Undying World. Sometimes, he would even try using his will to avoid the bits of space which were especially twisted. At this moment, a green talisman flashed through his spiritual will. Mo Wuji suddenly stood up. Even though he hadn''t studied the Talisman Dao, he could tell what that talisman was. It was a Grade 9 immortal talisman, Jia Zi Life Talisman[1] This talisman''s value was in that it could increase the longevity of an ageing Immortal Emperor by sixty years. Sixty years might seem like a blink for an ordinary immortal, but a talisman that could increase the longevity of an Immortal Emperor was definitely not a simple thing. There were really talismans here! As Mo Wuji thought of this, he began to extend his spiritual will further. His motive here was the World Rending Talisman. As for the damage the warped space would have towards his sea of consciousness and his spiritual will, Mo Wuji directly dismissed them. His sea of consciousness was sturdy and strong; as long as he didn''t send his spiritual will to the wrong places, the damage the warped space could do to his sea of consciousness was limited. Moreover, he had the spirit storage channel; this wouldn''t even cause any damage to his sea of consciousness. In less than two hours, Mo Wuji saw a Grade 9 Wind Escape Talisman, a Grade 9 Gigantic Peak Talisman, a Grade 9 Pseudo-World Talisman, a Grade 9 World Rending Talisman¡­ Mo Wuji''s heart was shaking with mad glee. The Grade 9 World Rending Talisman was exactly what he wanted. Unfortunately, this space was warped to an extreme degree. Even with the level of his physique, he didn''t dare to step out. After several hours, Mo Wuji could faintly feel that the warped space outside easing; it did not feel as violent as when he had first entered. Mo Wuji immediately left his Undying World and appeared within the Sage Dao Talisman Space. Another bit of warped space came sweeping towards him. This time, Mo Wuji chose not to avoid it. Indeed, the Distortion Law of Space wasn''t as strong as before. It only caused some pressure and ache to his body. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Now, he wasn''t thinking about exactly how this Sage Dao Talisman was created. Instead, he was wondering how he could find the Grade 9 World Rending Talisman. His spiritual will swept outwards. Mo Wuji soon discovered that this place also didn''t have a sky, nor any land; it was entirely filled with the hazy void. The only difference was that the Distortion Law was weaker here. An hour later, an unpleasant expression appeared on Mo Wuji''s face. He finally found a pattern. The stronger the spatial distortions, the higher the chances of talismans appearing. Conversely, the weaker the spatial distortions, the lower the chances of finding talismans. As the warped space got weaker and weaker, the number of talismans he found got lesser and lesser. By the time there were no spatial distortions at all, he probably wouldn''t even find a single talisman. Mo Wuji''s guess was right. After another two hours, the spatial distortions had completely disappeared. Now, he wasn''t even able to catch a glimpse of a shadow of a talisman. On the other hand, land had appeared. However, it wasn''t made of sand and soil, but the joining of countless of enigmatic talisman runes. The moment Mo Wuji''s spiritual will made contact with these talisman runes, a majestic Talisman Dao energy came surging towards him. Mo Wuji felt as though he had come to an entirely new school. If Fu Xiuhan¡¯s imprint gave him a window, then these runes gave Mo Wuji an entire world. Each talisman rune began to glow with a profound light which seeped into Mo Wuji''s spiritual will. Even though it was just a few breaths of time, Mo Wuji had found himself completely deep within these runes. The Talisman Dao, from the profound to the simple¡­ His Mortal Dao stemmed from the simplest and most ordinary things of the mortal world; it could be anything from a grass to a tree. On the other hand, these talisman runes¡¯ dao energy seemed to contain the most complex enigmas of the Heaven and Earth; it seemed to originate from the Grand Dao of the Cosmos. At this instant, Mo Wuji''s dao revelation channel was filled with insights. Together with his other meridians, his dao revelation channel formed a major circulation path. It was not that Mo Wuji didn''t know how to create talismans; it was just that his talismans were extremely low in grade. He probably couldn''t even create a simple Grade 1 immortal talisman. After these profound talisman runes seeped into Mo Wuji¡¯s dao revelation channel, there was suddenly the dao aura of the Talisman Dao within Mo Wuji¡¯s own Grand Dao; various kinds of enlightenment bloomed like flowers He rapidly began to absorb the various Talisman Dao from the Heaven and Earth, and tried replicating them into various kinds of talismans. After an unknown period of time, a new and powerful will suddenly appeared within Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji, who was deep in his insights, awoke abruptly. He stared in astonishment at the illusory spirit body at the side of his violet lake. "Eh, you actually don''t have a primordial spirit. No wonder why you have such a powerful sea of consciousness and spiritual will. And your physique, it''s also incomparably strong," This spirit exclaimed as it saw Mo Wuji''s violet lake. Possession? Although Mo Wuji knew that the other party had yet to possess him, how could he simply allow this random spirit to continue staying in his sea of consciousness? Intense killing intent was condensed as three Spiritual Will Arrows were formed; they shot towards this spirit. "You also have the Spiritual Will Arrow? And such strong ones at that¡­" This spirit was momentarily confused. However, it was immediately shocked and it threw out multiple talismans. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Violent explosions reverberated throughout Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness. He could feel his sea of consciousness collapsing slightly and his face turned pale. As he opened his mouth, an arrow of blood shot out. So strong. Mo Wuji''s heart was palpitating in shock. He had never met such a powerful spirit body. Even his Spiritual Will Arrows could be blocked using some talismans. Mo Wuji wasn''t clueless about possession; in fact, he had experienced possession attempts before. However, he had never feared possessions because of his insanely strong sea of consciousness. Not only that, he didn''t have a primordial spirit. And since he developed his Spiritual Will Arrow, he was even less worried about being possessed. But today was the first time he encountered a spirit that wasn''t even affected by his Spiritual Will Arrow. Not only was this spirit not harmed, it even caused him to vomit blood. "You can also try eating one of my talismans." When this spirit saw that Mo Wuji was merely injured by the violent explosions within his sea of consciousness, it was also incomparably shocked. Over these countless years, he had encountered many targets of possession. Even though he had never succeeded, he had never met an expert like Mo Wuji with such a strong sea of consciousness. What left this spirit even more astonished was that this fella, who didn''t even have a primordial spirit and had an insanely strong sea of consciousness, wasn''t even a descendant of the Talisman Race. This spirit whipped out a talisman. As it appeared, tears and scars began to form around it. An extreme sense of disgust and discomfort pervaded. Just as Mo Wuji was about to faint, he did not hesitate to bring out his six pages of the Book of Luo. "Boom!" The talisman transformed into a sharp light which slammed against Mo Wuji''s Book of Luo. Once again, Mo Wuji was forced to cough blood as he collapsed on the ground of intersecting talisman runes. Mo suspected that if this spirit continued to use this attack, his sea of consciousness would crumble even if the Book of Luo was able to defend against it. "The Book of Luo? And six pages of it?" The spirit stared at the six pages of the Book of Luo in extreme surprise. His voice was shaking and even Mo Wuji could notice his agitation. "Originally, I only wanted to possess a descendant of my Talisman Race. Unfortunately, the talents in my Talisman Race only got lesser throughout the years. Even though you don''t have a primordial spirit, your sea of consciousness is extremely strong. Your fleshly body exceeds even the most talented of my Talisman Race. Now, you even have the Book of Luo. Why don''t we negotiate? I want your body. If you have any unfinished wishes, I can help you fulfil them. There''s also no need for you to resist any further, less your sea of consciousness collapses." This spirit finally calmed down. Mo Wuji raged in his heart. This b*stard wanted to possess him but it still wanted him to accommodate it? Seemingly sensing Mo Wuji''s anger, this spirit said in a steady tone, "You should know, with my strength and my talismans, whatever attacks you throw at me would be useless. So when I possess you, you can only defend it, but you can''t go against it. To me, you are nothing but an ant." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. He suppressed his anger as he said coldly, "I know who you are. Back when the Talisman Race was being exterminated, there was an expert of the Talisman Race that escaped into the void with the Sage Dao Talisman. You are that expert, right? Fu Xiuhan thought that you had already perished. No one would have thought that you were actually hiding here waiting to possess a body." This spirit sighed and said, "That''s right. I am Fu Jiujiang. Unfortunately, after all these years, the disciples of my Talisman Race that entered the Sage Dao Talisman had never been suitable for possession. To be honest, I have high hopes for you. Your fleshly body is very strong, so it might be able to withstand my possession without exploding." "That means to say, those spatial distortions aren''t caused because I''m not a descendant of the Talisman Race?" Mo Wuji was speaking with his mouth, but in his heart, he was frantically thinking of a way to deal with this Fu Jiujiang. He was very clear that Fu Jiujiang''s words were right; Fu Jiujiang was so strong that even his Spiritual Will Arrow wasn''t able to do anything. He really didn''t have any methods which he could use to continue resisting Fu Jiujiang. Whether it was his Wheel of Life and Death or his Seven World Finger, Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to use them to deal with Fu Jiujiang. There was no need to talk about how these two sacred arts would damage his sea of consciousness, even if he could control the damage, it still wouldn''t be enough to deal with a strong foe like Fu Jiujiang. "Even though that''s not the whole truth, it''s pretty much the case. After multiple failures, I learned that without a strong fleshly body, anyone that was able to enter this Sage Dao Talisman wasn''t suitable for possession. The only thing I didn''t expect was that the spatial distortions got to a point where it was beyond my control. Ai, now that I mention it, I''m truly too strong," Fu Jiujiang sighed emotionally. Mo Wuji had already come to an understanding. The reason why Fu Feiyan and the countless of people before him were able to escape the Sage Dao Talisman wasn''t because of their strength but because Fu Jiujiang showed mercy on them. The reason behind this was simple: Fu Jiujiang couldn''t simply kill them all; he needed someone to stay behind to protect Thousand Talismans Mountain and to give hope to the following generations of descendants. He wanted them to know that death was not a certainty within the Sage Dao Talisman. [1] One Jia Zi is a sixty year cycle Chapter 834: Destroying Nine Pillar Island Chapter 834: Destroying Nine Pillar Island Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "From the looks of it, you will not yield. That''s expected, someone like you is definitely an amazing existence on the outside, right? But if you think that I wouldn''t be able to do anything if your sea of consciousness is destroyed, then you''re wrong. It would only take a few tens of thousands of years for me to repair it. But to me, the least valuable thing is time¡­" After the spirit said that, his hand opened and at least ten talismans floated around him. Even though these talismans had yet to be ignited, Mo Wuji could already feel the deathly threat from them. Mo Wuji''s heart sunk. He was sure that if this fella used these talismans, his soul was bound to be destroyed and his fleshly body would end up with this b*stard. Originally, Mo Wuji was still hesitating between using Lightning Web and Wheel of Life and Death. But now, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to activate the Kun Wu Sword. Mo Wuji had only refined the first layer of the Kun Wu Sword. Consequently, he only obtained one of its sword intent sacred art. Mo Wuji was very clear about the might of this sword intent. This sword intent was even able to slice through the hardest of surfaces, much less his sea of consciousness. All this while, he had never been fully able to control the Kun Wu Sword, and if he used it now, he might never have the ability to control it again. What this means was that Mo Wuji was sure that his sea of consciousness would be destroyed by this sword. But at this moment, he didn''t even have another choice. If he didn''t use wield this sword, his body would no longer belong to himself. Within Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness, an ordinary looking longsword came cleaving down. Fu Jiujiang sneered. A mere sword wanted to stop him, Fu Jiujiang? To him, even if this sword was any stronger, it would cause him nothing more than an itch. But within a few instants, Fu Jiujiang knew that something was amiss. This ordinary sword suddenly swept up all the power within the Heaven and Earth, converting it to the energy of destruction. At this moment, anything under this sword would be devoured; anything around it would be reduced to nothingness. "This is the Kun Wu Sword Intent? This is the Kun Wu Sword?" Fu Jiujiang cried out in aghast. He soon verified that this was definitely the Kun Wu Sword in front of him. Who was this person? Not only did he have six pages of the Book of Luo, he also had the Kun Wu Sword? "You''re mad. You can''t even control the Kun Wu Sword. As this sword descends, everything would be destroyed. Stop¡­" Fu Jiujiang cried out frantically. To him, the collapse of Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness due to the Kun Wu Sword was a minor issue. The terrifying thing was that he definitely wouldn''t be able to survive under the Kun Wu Sword. The Kun Wu Sword was ranked one among the ten ancient godswords. Even if he, Fu Jiujiang, was any stronger, he couldn''t deal with the Kun Wu Sword as a mere spirit. Mo Wuji didn''t even have half an intention of stopping. The violet lake within his sea of consciousness erupted violently; boundless spiritual will got swept away by the Kun Wu Sword. That all-devouring energy of destruction expanded crazily within Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness. Fu Jiujiang''s spirit was originally rather opaque. But under this terrifying killing intent, it began to tremble; it seemed that it would dissipate at the very next instant. "Stop¡­" Besides calling out to Mo Wuji, there was nothing that Fu Jiujiang''s shaking spirit could do. The talismans floating around him also got suppressed by the intense pressure of the sword intent; they were completely rendered powerless. "Boom!" The raging energy of destruction of Kun Wu¡¯s sword intent finally descended. "Ah¡­" It was unknown how much more powerful Fu Jiujiang was above the Immortal Emperor Stage. However, when placed under this destructive sword intent, it still had no chances of resisting. At this instant, Fu Jiujiang only felt regret. If he knew that Mo Wuji had the Kun Wu Sword, and if he knew that Mo Wuji was a madman who would dare to use the Kun Wu Sword within his sea of consciousness, he definitely wouldn''t have tried possessing Mo Wuji''s body. He had already spent so many years. What''s wrong with another few years? Unfortunately, it was all too late. A cry of grief could be heard. Under the unstoppable might of Kun Wu''s sword intent, Fu Jiujiang was reduced into nothingness. "Crack!" At the same time, Mo Wuji felt an intense pain which felt like his soul was shattering; his sea of consciousness also gradually started to blur. "An intense feeling of unwillingness boiled within Mo Wuji''s heart. He knew that his sea of consciousness had collapsed. Unfortunately, he was powerless; he could only allow his sea of consciousness to crumble as he fell into a state of unconsciousness That feeling of unwillingness was felt by the Kun Wu Sword. Mo Wuji suddenly had an urgent wish in his heart. If only he could go back to Earth before he died. Unfortunately, he was in the Sage Dao Talisman; he was completely unable to return to Earth. "Boom!" Kun Wu Sword''s sword intent suddenly rushed out of Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness; it appeared within the Sage Dao Talisman. Mo Wuji only sensed that something seemed to have shattered within the Sage Dao Talisman. After which, he fell unconscious. ¡­ At the same time, two women stopped above a dull grey tree root. "Lin Gu, there¡¯s no meaning in continuing any further. Our guess was right, Nine Pillar Mountain is a void island. The two of us have been trapped here for years and we¡¯re unable to escape." The one speaking was the green-robed woman on the left. The woman called Lin Gu nodded, "Shuyin, you¡¯re right. We have wandered around for more than a year. We have practically gone to every possible part of this island. Besides those nine peculiar pillars, there is nothing else here. This should be an island hidden within the void." These two women were exactly Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin. Back then, they also landed on the Seven World Stone, just like Mo Wuji. They also chose a direction and dove in. However, because the two of them were too weak, Lin Gu had to use the Book of Luo to protect the two of them. What the two of them didn¡¯t expect was that halfway during their journey, they were swept away by a strong and unknown force. If not for the Book of Luo, the two of them would have been ripped into pieces. When the two of them finally awoke, they found themselves in this desolate island. This island was extremely rich in elemental energy. Although Lin Gu was from a huge sect, she had never encountered a place with such rich elemental energy. She felt that the elemental energy here was even better than immortal spiritual energy; it was more suitable for cultivation. As for Cen Shuyin, she was even less aware of such things. The only peculiar thing was that despite the richness of the elemental energy on this island, there weren¡¯t any plants nor any other forms of life. There were some occasional tree roots, but they seemed to have been withered for countless of years. Because there were nine pillars on this island, the two of them named it Nine Pillar Island. After the two verified that there were no other people here on the island, they decided to start cultivating. When Lin Gu arrived, she was at the Grand Zhi Immortal Stage. With Mo Wuji¡¯s pills and the rich elemental energy, she was able to reach the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage in just a few short years. Cen Shuyin¡¯s talent had always been top class. Moreover, her body had been washed by Mo Wuji using the Breath of Hongmeng, and her primordial spirit had been nourished by Mo Wuji using the Underworld Heart Flower. When her fleshly body and her primordial spirit merged back with one another, her talent got even better than before. Coupled with the rich elemental energy in the area, she also reached the Great Circle of the Grand Luo Immortal Stage in just a few years. However, there seemed to be limits on the Laws of the Heaven and Earth here. The two of them didn¡¯t have profound insights, nor any pills for advancement. Thus, even though the energy here was extremely rich, the two of them were unable to advance any further. Cen Shuyin was also worried about Mo Wuji, so she was also not willing to continue staying here any further. Thus, the two of them stopped cultivating and began searching for a way out. A year passed and the two seemed to have searched the entire island. The two of them came to a conclusion: This island was within the void and it was sealed by a natural array; they could only enter but they couldn¡¯t leave. "Lin Gu, I believe that if we want to leave, we have to begin from those nine pillars. Those nine pillars should be the key to this Nine Pillar Island. If we can break those nine pillars down, we might actually be able to leave this place." When Lin Gu heard Cen Shuyin mention the nine pillars, she also believed that those nine pillars might be the key. Lin Gu hesitated briefly before she said, "Shuyin, where have you refined your Book of Luo to?" "The 67th seal." Cen Shuyin replied. Lin Gu gritted her teeth and said, "Shuyin, we¡¯ll do as you say. We¡¯ll join hands and attack those nine pillars. However, you need to constantly use the Book of Luo to protect us. I¡¯m worried that when those nine pillars crumble, Nine Pillar Island will collapse along with it." "Alright." Cen Shuyin nodded. ¡­ The Nine Pillar Island truly deserves its name. Besides those nine pillars, there was only murky grey throughout the island. Over these few years, Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin had already grown used to dangers. They didn¡¯t simply escape from danger once or twice before. Through their countless escapes from death, the two of them knew that hesitation was the bane of action. Thus, when the two of them decided to destroy the nine pillars, they didn¡¯t have a single shred of hesitation. Originally, Lin Gu and Cen Shuyin thought that the two of them might not be enough to destroy the pillars. However, after attacking a pillar with their full force, the two of them knew that they were wrong. The pillar seemed to be lacking a proper support; with every attack, the pillar would crumble bit by bit. "Shuyin, I understand now. These pillars should have been installed by someone. The reason why we are able to move them should be because they were left without sufficient elemental energy for a long time." Lin Gu came to an understanding after several attacks. Knowing that these pillars could be destroyed, the two began to strike with greater fervour. They even began using their sacred arts. One year later, the first pillar crumbled. At the instant it fell, Cen Shuyin and Lin Gu both felt that the space around them had turned slightly unstable. The two glanced towards each other and nodded. They knew that this was indeed the way out. The second pillar only took three months to crumble, then the third, the fourth¡­ When the two finally destroyed the ninth pillar, the space around them suddenly started to twist and distort. The ground beneath them began to collapse as space itself began to tear. Rumbles reverberated through the air; it felt as though the entire cosmos was collapsing. Cen Shuyin and Lin Gu hugged each other in fear. They hid within the Book of Luo. At the next instant, the violent spatial distortions directly swept the two of them into the void. ¡­ At almost the same instant, many Great Circle Earthly Immortals from various planets looked up into the sky in astonishment. At this moment, they felt the power of ascension. Chapter 835: The Blue Sea Turned Into Mulberry Fields Chapter 835: The Blue Sea Turned Into Mulberry Fields Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Mo Wuji opened his eyes, he saw a bleached yellow ceiling on top of him. He suddenly sat up and waves of pain struck his mind like needles. "Hu¡­" Mo Wuji released a long breath. As he gradually calmed himself down, the pain in his mind also began to subside. What is this place? Where am I? Mo Wuji knitted his brows. Just as he thought about what happened back at Thousand Talismans Mountain, his mind felt that unendurable pain once more. Mo Wuji could only force himself to not recall anything as he tried to assess his current situation. He was in a relatively big room. Besides the bleached ceilings, the bedsheets were also bleached. Mo Wuji turned to his side and saw a rusty steel stretcher. Right next to his bed, there was a paint-peeled bedside cabinet which had several vases of medicine¡­ Wait¡­ Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes went wide. He finally came to a realisation. He was in a hospital. That raging pain came crashing into his mind once more. This time, Mo Wuji forcefully endured the pain, and after a few minutes, he completely understood what had happened. He had gone to the Thousand Talismans Mountain requesting for a World Rending Talisman. Thereafter, he entered the Sage Dao Talisman, and the space within the Sage Dao Talisman began to twist and contort. He was possessed by Fu Jiujiang. After which, Kun Wu Sword appeared within his sea of consciousness, and with that sword¡­ That¡¯s not right¡­ Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that he should still be in the Sage Dao Talisman. How did he end up in this hospital bed? With his fastest speed possible, Mo Wuji pulled out the IV drip needle from his wrist. Just as he was about to get out of the bed, he was stunned still. On his wrist, there were now two faint scars. A sword scar was suppressing a talisman scar¡­ This are the Kun Wu Sword and the Sage Dao Talisman? Mo Wuji soon verified that his eyes weren¡¯t playing tricks on him. There were indeed two scars on his wrist, and these should be the Kun Wu Sword and the Sage Dao Talisman. Mo Wuji remembered that right after he brought out his Kun Wu Sword, his final thought was that he wanted to return to Earth. Could the Kun Wu Sword have felt his intentions? It suppressed the Sage Dao Talisman and sent him back to Earth? Mo Wuji hurriedly tried to use his spiritual will to form a link with his Kun Wu Sword. Just as he was about to use his spiritual will, his brain began to buzz with immense pain. It scared Mo Wuji from doing anything further. Instants later, Mo Wuji soon came to an understanding of his situation. Currently, besides his insanely strong fleshly body, he didn¡¯t have anything else. "Eh, you¡¯re awake?" A voice tinged with slight pleasant surprise sounded from the door. Following which, a youth that was approximately 20 years old walked in. This youth had a simple and honest appearance. "Why did you pull out the needle?" Behind this youth was a middle-aged nurse. She saw that Mo Wuji had actually sat himself up and she immediately scolded him. "This big brother, those are antibiotics that prevent your injuries from infection, you must not, eh¡­ your injuries..." The youth¡¯s voice gradually tapered off. He discovered that the horrifying injuries on Mo Wuji¡¯s body had virtually disappeared. The middle-aged nurse also witnessed the situation and she stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Mo Wuji reacted and hurriedly said, "I have an ointment passed down from my ancestors. I only need to rub it over my injuries and they would heal quickly." Just as Mo Wuji thought that these two would continue to ask him questions, he discovered that this nurse and this youth no longer had their previous looks of surprise. It was as though his words were very normal. "Where am I? My previous memories are slightly hazy?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion. The youth hurriedly answered, "This is Qi Shu City¡¯s biggest hospital, Xing Da Auxiliary Hospital. I discovered you heavily injured at the feet of Luo Yang Mountain. I thought that you had fallen off the mountain, which was why I carried you on my back to this hospital." Mo Wuji actually knew of Qi Shi City. He had been here before; this was the provincial capital of Kai Nam Province. From the looks of it, Kun Wu really sensed his thoughts and had sent him back to Earth. Not only that, Kun Wu was still suppressing the Sage Dao Talisman. This Kun Wu Sword was really not simple. But¡­ This dilapidated place was the biggest hospital in Qi Shu City? Tattered bedsheets, smelly blankets, and dirty bleached ceilings? Was it a joke? How could the biggest hospital of a provincial capital be so run down? Also, back when he had left Earth, the casual use of antibiotics had been prohibited. How many years had it been? Why were antibiotics being applied through the IV needle? "Many thanks for saving me. I still don¡¯t know how I can address you." Mo Wuji hurriedly expressed his gratitude. The youth laughed and waved his hand, "There¡¯s no need to be so courteous. It¡¯s just a simple matter. I¡¯m Xian Zhiyang, I¡¯m a student of the Faculty of Extraterrestrial Biology at Xing Wu University." Mo Wuji smiled, "It might be a simple matter for you, but it¡¯s far from simple for me. Oh right, I¡¯m called Mo Wuji." Actually, Mo Wuji knew that even if Xian Zhiyang didn¡¯t save him, he shouldn¡¯t meet with any further injuries since he was on Earth. Even if he met with some wild animal, that animal wouldn¡¯t be able to harm him. His God Physique would definitely be too tough for the fangs of the animals here. This IV needle was different; it didn¡¯t pose any harm to his body. "Since you are fine, then you can go and settle the payment," After saying this to Xian Zhiyang, the nurse walked into the room and began tidying the medicines and the tools. "Alright Mo Wuji, you can follow me. After we pay the fees, we can go for a meal," Xian Zhiyang said jovially as he patted Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any bag. Although Xian Zhiyang didn¡¯t know where Mo Wuji got his ointment from, he was clear that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have any cash or identity card with him. "Many thanks. The air here rather smelly, it¡¯s best if we leave soon," Mo Wuji said hurriedly. He seemed to feel that something was amiss. He decided that he was going to ask Xian Zhiyang some questions. Xian Zhiyang chuckled, "Wuji, the air here has been purified. Once we leave the hospital, you will have a real taste of what¡¯s smelly. However, our country is researching on a nationwide air purification device. When that time comes, things wouldn¡¯t be as bad as it is now." "Zhiyang, Xing Da Auxiliary Hospital seems rather old and dilapidated. How can it be the biggest hospital in Qi Shu City?" As he followed Xian Zhiyang to pay the bills, Mo Wuji took the opportunity to ask. Xian Zhiyang sighed, "The equipment here is already tens of years old. Qi Shi City cannot compare to other cities. Our city is not developed in terms of spatial navigation. After entering the Age of Space, the Earth¡¯s atmosphere was damaged the air was contaminated. The rich and powerful all chose to leave Earth and head for Planet Diyuan. Our country is considered one of the more powerful countries in the world; we own a piece of habitable land on Planet Diyuan. As long as one is capable, one would have the opportunity to go to Planet Diyuan." The two had already reached the payment counter. Mo Wuji saw Xian Zhiyang¡¯s receipt; it was $631. The key thing he saw was the date; the year 2077 was especially stunning. Since he left, half a century had already passed. He didn¡¯t know whether he would meet any familiar faces on this Earth. "Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s have a good meal. Oh right, where¡¯s your hometown? Why did you come to Qi Shu City?" Xian Zhiyang said in an extremely carefree matter after paying the fees. "It¡¯s Chang Luo. Thereafter, I worked at Jing Yang for a period of time. Oh right, I worked for Jing Yang¡¯s Xia Clan. Have you heard of it?" Mo Wuji was feeling rather absent-minded. Actually, he didn¡¯t really have the same urge to see Xia Ruoyin at this moment. Instead, he wanted to find Wen Xiaoqi. Was she doing well after these decades? Did she have grandchildren? Or had she gone to that Planet Diyuan that Xian Zhiyang mentioned? "I naturally know of Jing Yang¡¯s Xia Clan," Xian Zhiyang said to Mo Wuji with an expression of respect, "The Xia Clan has direct access to Planet Diyuan. In fact, they have their own spaceship. Xia Clan¡¯s body tempering fluid is something the entire world desires. It¡¯s said that Planet Diyuan isn¡¯t as safe as Earth. Even though the air there is clean and the environment is beautiful, there are actually plenty of fierce beasts¡­" As he said this, Xian Zhiyang seemed to recall something. He said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, that ointment of yours is not bad too. It actually healed you in such a short period of time. You didn¡¯t even need any antibiotic injections. If you start a company and sell that ointment, you might be able to tap into a huge market in Planet Diyuan." Mo Wuji silently clenched his fists tightly. Xia Clan¡¯s body tempering fluid? That was his meridian opening fluid, ok? It was just that the formula that he kept in his notebook wasn¡¯t perfect and there were also some key ingredients and steps which he didn¡¯t write down. After Xia Ruoyin plotted against him, she didn¡¯t receive the exact formula. Clearly, Xia Clan¡¯s body tempering fluid was modified from that incomplete formula of his meridian opening fluid. However, he would definitely take back whatever belongs to him. "I don¡¯t have the formula. And that ointment was left behind from my ancestors. After I used it, it¡¯s gone." Mo Wuji was good at discerning people¡¯s character. He could tell that Xian Zhikang wasn¡¯t trying to use an indirect approach to obtain his formula. Expectedly, Xian Zhiyang sighed, "That¡¯s a pity¡­ Wuji, The Xia Clan¡¯s space pharmaceutical company is one of the best in the world. It must have been hard for you to enter. Why did you leave?" Mo Wuji also sighed, "Because I wasn¡¯t good enough, I was chased out. I was almost killed too." Xian Zhiyang didn¡¯t to seem to have found it peculiar when Mo Wuji said that he was almost killed. In fact, it seemed like it was normal to him. By now, the two had already walked out of the hospital. Indeed, the air outside was far polluted compared to the air in the hospital; it was filled with an indescribable odour. Mo Wuji lifted his head and saw the dull grey sky. He sighed with deep emotions. Xian Zhiyang also sighed, "If not for that planet which exploded near the Solar System those years ago which destroyed Earth¡¯s atmosphere, the Earth wouldn¡¯t be as it is now." Even though Mo Wuji really wanted to ask about the explosion of that planet, he still resisted it. It would be weird if he didn¡¯t know of such a huge incident. However, after hearing Xian Zhiyang¡¯s words, Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of how Earth got here. It didn¡¯t seem to be entirely man-made. That also seemed right, when he left Earth those years ago, conservation and protection of the Earth¡¯s atmosphere were important matters. Chapter 836: The Old Friend Is No Longer Here Chapter 836: The Old Friend Is No Longer Here Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Leaving the hospital, Mo Wuji saw that there didn''t seem to be many cars on the street. There were, however, streams of people and open shops. Clearly, this city was still considered quite lively. Perhaps they had grown used to it but the people on the street did not seem to notice the foul air. An hour later, Mo Wuji and Xian Zhiyang arrived at Xing Wu University. The entrance of Xing Wu University was rather majestic: two towering pillars were erected at the two sides, emanating an imposing aura. Xian Zhiyang pointed at the three words "Xing Wu University" and said, "Qi Shu City''s Xing Wu University is not bad, it''s one of the top twenty schools in the country. There are even some foreign students that pursue their studies here. I can bring you to the best canteen in the university. It''s much cheaper than outside food and it tastes great too." Although Mo Wuji couldn''t use his spiritual will, he was still an Immortal Emperor with a large scope of vision. The moment he entered the university, he noticed multiple environment cleaning machines. The air within the school was also much cleaner than the outside. Actually, besides his unfinished business here, Mo Wuji had another reason why he wanted to come to Earth. He could faintly feel that if he wanted to advance beyond the level of the Immortal Emperor Stage, he had to find a resolution to all his matters here on Earth. Mo Wuji wasn''t clear why it was so. He cultivated the Mortal Dao, so he only had a faint feeling regarding this. Thus, Kun Wu could be said to have helped him obtain his wish. When he recovers his cultivation and leaves Earth, he would install an array around Earth. At the same time, he would try to restore Earth''s environment to an optimal condition. He could take it as contributing to the land that he was born in. "We''ve arrived. It''s here." The canteen that Xian Zhiyang mentioned was actually not far from the school''s entrance. There weren''t many people in the canteen. Just as Mo Wuji and Xian Zhiyang entered, they saw two women and one man leave. "Ya Qi, you''re also¡­" Xian Zhiyang said subconsciously; then his gaze landed on that male student. Mo Wuji noticed a flustered expression appear on that Ya Qi''s face. However, this woman''s mental state was not bad; she was able to revert back to normal in a short time. "Zhiyang, why are you back in school? Didn''t you go to the hospital¡­" This woman called Ya Qi replied with a question. She didn''t even finish her sentence. The male student that was by Ya Qi''s side extended his hand and said, "You should be Xian Zhiyang, right? My name is Feng Nan. I come from Jing Yang Star School. I''m a friend of Ya Qi''s." Mo Wuji wasn''t the same idiot in love that he used to be. The moment he saw that scene, he knew that there was something going on between Xian Zhiyang and this Ya Qi. They might even be in a relationship. Expectedly, Xian Zhiyang had an unpleasant expression on his face. He didn''t respond to Feng Nan, nor did he extend his hand to return Feng Nan''s handshake. Instead, he looked at Ya Qi and asked, "Ya Qi, when I asked you to follow me to the hospital, you said that you wanted to revise for the Star Grade Exam. Why are you here?" Ya Qi lowered her head awkwardly. An air of silence fell over them. After some time, she suddenly lifted her head and said, "Fellow student Zhiyang, you should know that I''m going to graduate this year. Going to Planet Diyuan has always been my only dream." She didn''t go on any further. Even Mo Wuji understood what she was implying: Xian Zhiyang didn''t meet her standards. Xian Zhiyang was probably a reserve. Since she had already met another one, she had to choose between the two. "Xian Zhiyang, you''re really lacking in manners. There''s no need to talk about how Ya Qi isn''t your girlfriend. Even if she is, you shouldn''t be so disrespectful to her classmates. This isn''t about the details, doing this would not be any good to your future," The other female student frowned and said. That Ya Qi had a short hair and a round face. Even though she could be considered pretty, she was only a little above average. The girl that was scolding Xian Zhiyang, however, was much better. Her figure was slender, her skin was translucent and white, her facial features were refined, and her long hair reached her shoulders. She was much better than Ya Qi. Xian Zhiyang''s face was slightly pale. Clearly, his heart was disturbed. Even though Mo Wuji knew that Xian Zhiyang''s previous actions were indeed without grace, he still laughed and patted Xian Zhiyang''s shoulder, "Zhiyang, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. You don¡¯t have to care too much about some matters." It was unknown whether Zhiyang had thought it through by himself, or Mo Wuji''s words had taken effect. He looked at Ya Qi with a hint of reluctance, then he turned to that slender woman and said, "Tan Zhenman, you''re right. I''m not even in a close relationship with Ya Qi. I was simply overthinking it." After saying this, Xian Zhiyang said to Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, let''s go and have a good meal. My school canteen''s mountain pelican is especially tasty." "That''s the way. Let''s go." Mo Wuji appreciated Xian Zhiyang''s carefree and straightforward attitude "You''re called Mo Wuji?" That woman called Tan Zhenman suddenly exclaimed. Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right, I''m called Mo Wuji. Is there anything wrong?" He didn''t believe that Tan Zhenman recognised him. He had already left years for several decades. Moreover, he had wholeheartedly immersed himself in the research of herbs and plants back when he was here. His only red threads were with Wen Xiaoqi, who had a one-sided love for him, and Xia Ruoyin, who stabbed him in the back. "Oh, it''s nothing. It''s just that the name ''Mo Wuji¡¯ is too famous. That¡¯s why I was momentarily shocked," Tan Zhenman reacted and replied apologetically. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "May I request Student Tan to tell me why is the name Mo Wuji famous?" Seeing Mo Wuji clasped his fists, it wasn¡¯t just Tan Zhenman, but even Xian Zhiyang was astonished. Mo Wuji¡¯s robes already looked quite archaic. Now, he even showed courtesy through the clasping of his fists. Tan Zhenman said hurriedly, "There¡¯s nothing much. You will know it if you go to Jing Yang. Many people in Jing Yang know of Mo Wuji. Because many years ago, a gravestone appeared on Jingshou Mountain. There were two lines of words on the gravestone: Mo Wuji¡¯s Grave; Erected by Wen Xiaoqi." "Right, this isn¡¯t a bizarre thing. Everyone in Jing Yang knows about it," By the side, Feng Nan nodded and said. Even though Xian Zhiyang ignored his gesture for a handshake, he still behaved courteously. "Mo Wuji¡¯s Grave, Erected by Wen Xiaoqi¡­" Mo Wuji muttered to himself. In his eyes, a bashful but pretty girl appeared. Her name was Wen Xiaoqi. Perhaps after he died, the only person who remembered him was Wen Xiaoqi. "That gravestone looked like an ordinary piece of stone, but it was actually a rare piece of jade. Because of that gravestone, there was a conflict in Jing Yang¡­" Tan Zhenman noticed that Mo Wuji seemed to be at a loss, so she continued explaining. "Many thanks, Student Tan. Do you know where on Jingshou Mountain did this gravestone appear at? And where is it now? And did anyone investigate on that Wen Xiaoqi?" Mo Wuji suppressed the anxiety in his heart and he asked a chain of questions. Tan Zhenman nodded, "After that jade gravestone was discovered, investigations were carried out on Wen Xiaoqi. She seems to have been a lonely person who didn¡¯t get married. She had died and prior to her death, she had also requested to be buried on Jingshou Mountain. As for that jade gravestone, it was already long gone. A few other classmates and I have visited the gravestone site before." Wen Xiaoqi is dead? Mo Wuji felt that intense pain in his head once more. It felt as though millions of needles were stabbing his brain at the same time. His face instantly turned pale. This intense pain in his head, however, wasn¡¯t able to overwhelm the sadness and regret he felt in his heart. His eyes turned misty. Previously, he cried for Cen Shuyin. This time, he was crying for Wen Xiaoqi. He had returned far too late; he had no way of bringing Wen Xiaoqi away. A woman remained lonely all her life, all for a man who didn¡¯t give her any promise nor any chances. How much determination was required for that? How deep was her love? However, he didn¡¯t notice all this. She had always supported him from the back. She never asked for anything in return, nor did she hope for any sort of happy ending. Perhaps, Wen Xiaoqi only hoped to see his smile and to hear his greetings every morning. But he didn¡¯t even give her these. His heart had been focused on the research on the meridian opening solution. His love had also been given to that Xia Ruoyin, that backstabbing woman. "Mo Wuji, are you fine?" Xian Zhiyang asked anxiously. Mo Wuji wiped his eyes and shook his head, "I¡¯m fine." Thereafter, he looked at Tan Zhenman and said, "Student Tan, I know that my words might sound rude. However, this matter is extremely important to me. Can you bring me to where the gravestone was discovered in Jingshou Mountain?" "Ah¡­" Tan Zhenman looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. She could never have thought that Mo Wuji would have such an unreasonable request. She had no relations with Mo Wuji. Moreover, Mo Wuji looked sickly and his attire looked weird. If not for the fact that ancient Han clothing was in fashion, she would have really thought that Mo Wuji was a madman. However, she didn¡¯t have a bad impression of Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji looked like he was in dire straits, he also seemed to give off an indescribable feeling. While Mo Wuji¡¯s clothing was old and tattered, his aura was actually clean and bright. "Zhiyang, Senior Mo is your friend?" What left Feng Nan and Ya Qi shocked was that Tan Zhenman actually didn¡¯t reject him directly. Instead, she asked Xian Zhiyang a question. Xian Zhiyang hurriedly said, "Wuji is a friend that I just made. He injured himself falling down Luo Yang Moutain. I was the one who brought him to the hospital." "Zhenman, why don¡¯t you draw a map for Mo Wuji. After all, this place is too far from Jing Yang," Feng Nan hurriedly said when he saw that Tan Zhenman actually seemed to be contemplating it. Right at this instant, the school¡¯s broadcasting system sounded, "Graduating students of Xing Wu University, please take notice. The Joint Space Navigation Federation will be accepting three students from our Kai Nam Province. As long as you pass the Three Star Exam, you will be able to take part in the selection. Registration will be at Qi Shu City¡¯s Observatory Plaza¡­" The announcement repeated a total of six times. Mo Wuji saw that all of them revealed an expression of longing; Xian Zhiyang seemed to have forgotten that he had just been ditched. "Ai, unfortunately, I haven¡¯t passed Three Star Exam¡­" Tan Zhenman sighed. "If you promise to follow me to Jingshou Mountain, I promise to coach you so that you would pass the three exams," Mo Wuji suddenly said. He didn¡¯t know what the Three Star Exam was. However, he believed that for an Immortal Emperor like him, it should be nothing. Chapter 837: Slash Me Chapter 837: Slash Me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before Tan Zhenman could say anything, it was Ya Qi who scolded harshly, "What nonsense are you uttering? Even the number one expert in the federation, Senior Xi Li, wouldn¡¯t dare to promise anyone a guaranteed pass in the Three Star Exam. That would require talent and qualifications. You actually dare to say such words?" Mo Wuji calmly looked at Ya Qi and said, "I¡¯m different from you. When you do things, you take into account all considerations. Even when it comes to a boy-girl relationship, you find spares. If I¡¯m not wrong, this Student Feng Nan should also be one of your spares, right? But the fact that you can make a decisive choice to change your spares is considered quite a character. On the other hand, I don¡¯t have many considerations. If I can do it, I will do it. If I can¡¯t do it, I will not consider any further." Not only did Mo Wuji notice that Ya Qi¡¯s affection towards Feng Nan wasn¡¯t deep, he also noticed that Feng Nan also seemed to care more about Tan Zhenman. "You¡­" Ya Qi¡¯s face turned crimson right but she was unable to explain anything. In reality, her kind of thinking was very normal. Xian Zhiyang¡¯s character was not bad and his family condition was also okay. If she was unable to get to Planet Diyuan, then Xian Zhiyang was indeed her best option. However, Xian Zhiyang¡¯s talent was clearly lacking. He definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to go to Planet Diyuan. Thus, if she could go to Planet Diyuan, Xian Zhiyang was definitely not suitable for her. On the other hand, Feng Nan has the opportunity to go to Planet Diyuan. In her perspective, her choice of Feng Nan was very normal. However, it was exactly as Mo Wuji said. If she found a target better than Feng Nan, she would cast Feng Nan aside. In this era, love was just an accessory; this was her, Lu Yaqi¡¯s ideology. "Zhenman, I personally don¡¯t have any opinions towards Senior Mo. It¡¯s just that Senior Mo¡¯s words are truly too shocking. Actually, Ya Qi is not wrong. Even if Senior Xi Li is here, he cannot guarantee anyone a pass in the Three Star Exam." Feng Nan didn¡¯t seem to express any opinion towards Mo Wuji¡¯s claim that he was another spare of Ya Qi¡¯s. Instead, he was extremely sincere in his advice. Xian Zhiyang didn¡¯t say a word. In his heart, he also thought that Mo Wuji¡¯s words were too impractical. It was truly too hard to pass the Three Star Exam. This was no conversational language exam. However, he was different from these people. He seemed to feel that Mo Wuji was not simple. What shocked everyone was that Tan Zhenman actually looked at Mo Wuji and said seriously, "Senior Mo, are your words true?" "They¡¯re true. As long as you¡¯re willing to bring me, I will make it happen," Mo Wuji said resolutely. "Alright, I believe you." Tan Zhenman actually nodded her head. Yaqi was filled with anxiety; she hurriedly grabbed Tan Zhenman¡¯s hand, "Zhenman, are you crazy? You actually believe such words?" A hint of frustration flashed across Tan Zhenman¡¯s eyes. She promptly shook her head and said, "Yaqi, my talent is incomparable to yours. You have the chance of passing the Three Star Exam, but I don¡¯t have that possibility. You also know what¡¯s waiting for me if I fail to pass the Three Star Exam. I¡¯m truly not willing for that, ah¡­" Yaqi sank into silence. Tan Zhenman was also a descendant of a sizeable clan. In the Age of Space, beauty was useless. For clans, talent was the most important. Even if a girl was extremely pretty, she still wouldn¡¯t have much value to the clan. The only thing she could do was to help form ties between clans via marriage. That will help the clan form relations with more powerful clans. This fate was something that Tan Zhenman couldn¡¯t control. "Let¡¯s go. Follow me to my dorm. I will prepare some essentials, then I will immediately bring you to Jing Yang." Seeing Yaqi turn silent, Tan Zhenman looked and spoke to Mo Wuji resolutely. "Zhenman, I will also be returning to Jing Yang Star School. How about I follow you and Senior Mo," Feng Nan hurriedly said. Tan Zhenman shook her head, then she looked at Feng Nan and said, "Feng Nan, we¡¯re not suitable for each other. Moreover, we have our paths. You may be able to follow me once, but you can¡¯t follow me forever. Let¡¯s go, Senior Mo." "There¡¯s no need to call me senior. It¡¯s fine if you call me Mo Wuji. It¡¯s been a long time since I was a student." Mo Wuji felt some admiration towards this Tan Zhenman. She was very decisive; she didn¡¯t falter when she had made her decision. "..." When Feng Nan heard Tan Zhenman¡¯s words, he instantly felt embarrassed. Honestly, he did feel more affection towards Tan Zhenman than Lu Yaqi. If not because he knew that his chances with Tan Zhenman were lower, he would have chased after Tan Zhenman instead of Yaqi. Mo Wuji knew of Jingshou Mountain; it was incredibly big. If he could use his spiritual will, he probably wouldn¡¯t have needed Tan Zhenman¡¯s help. But now that he didn¡¯t have his spiritual will, it would be hard to find that gravestone on the vast Jingshou Mountain. "Mo Wuji, I¡¯ll send you." Xian Zhiyang hurriedly said when he saw that Tan Zhenman was willing to bring Mo Wuji to Jingshou Mountain. Mo Wuji stopped and said, "Zhiyang, many thanks for sending me to the hospital. When I leave now, I don¡¯t know whether we will be able to meet again. I wonder whether you have any plans?" Hearing Mo Wuji ask about his plans, Xian Zhiyang¡¯s eyes turned dim, "My talent is limited. It¡¯s already not bad if I can pass the Two Star Exam. Thus, I probably wouldn¡¯t have the opportunity to go to Planet Diyuan in my entire life. I only hope that after I graduate, I will be able to help my parents run their business. Perhaps if my business flourishes, I can use my capital to purchase the rights to go to Planet Diyuan." Mo Wuji patted Xian Zhiyang¡¯s shoulder and said, "I only have two things to tell you: 1. Don¡¯t go to Planet Diyuan. I¡¯ve never been there before but I¡¯m sure it isn¡¯t better than Earth; 2. If your business flourishes, all the more you shouldn¡¯t go to Planet Diyuan. Listen to my words, purchase large amounts of land from the developed cities. My words definitely will not be wrong." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t blindly speaking. The universe was filled with countless of planets that have been destroyed by experts. If a planet like Planet Diyuan got discovered by experts, it would either be refined or destroyed in battle. He didn¡¯t know how Planet Diyuan was discovered but he was sure that Planet Diyuan wasn¡¯t as concealed as Earth. Earth should be one of the most concealed planets within the vast universe. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have survived to this day. Moreover, Mo Wuji decided that he would install a huge array over Earth before he leaves. He would even install a grand array over the entire Solar System. If any expert does discover this system, they still wouldn¡¯t casually destroy his Grade 9 defensive array. This is because destroying this array would be forming a grudge against the person who installed the array. Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn¡¯t want to form an enmity with an expert who could install a Grade 9 immortal array, right? As he saw Mo Wuji and Tan Zhenman walk off into the distance, Xian Zhiyang had a sudden impulse. He wanted to defer his studies and stock up on land. Now, the rich and powerful have all left the planet. Earth¡¯s environment was now heavily contaminated and land had become the least valuable thing here. "You should not have given Xian Zhiyang that advice. Earth¡¯s environment is only getting worse. It¡¯s a matter of time before it collapses. At least he will get a chance of life at Planet Diyuan. What you¡¯re doing is breaking his fighting spirit," When they were in a distance, Tan Zhenman suddenly said. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind Tan Zhenman¡¯s words. One¡¯s words depended on one¡¯s knowledge and experience. With Tan Zhenman¡¯s knowledge and experience, there was nothing wrong with her saying such words. He also didn¡¯t have any intentions of advising Tan Zhenman to stay on Earth and to not take part in her whatever exam. That had nothing to do with him. He had only promised to help her pass her Three Star Exam. Seeing that Mo Wuji remained silent, Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t talk any further. She was indeed a unique person. In less than half an hour, she had already organised all her items and had brought Mo Wuji out of the university campus. "From Qi Shu to Jing Yang, the high-speed rail will take 6 hours while a flight will take 4 hours. How should we go?" Tan Zhenman asked the moment they left the campus. She was more eager than Mo Wuji since this was related to passing the Three Star Exam. Mo Wuji hesitated briefly before saying, "I lost my identification¡­" "Then we¡¯ll take the high-speed rail. I have a method of getting you through the checks," Before Mo Wuji could suggest a chartered car, Tan Zhenman directly interrupted him. ¡­ Tan Zhenman truly wasn¡¯t bluffing. In an hour, she and Mo Wuji were already sitting on the high-speed rail towards Jing Yang City. Not only that, she even had a personal commercial box. Clearly, Tan Zhenman¡¯s family was really wealthy. "Senior Mo, I think it¡¯s more appropriate for me to call you by senior. After all, I still need your help to pass the Three Star Exam. Now that there are at least 6 hours till we reach Jing Yang, I wonder whether Senior Mo can use this time to instruct me as to how I can pass the Three Star Exam?" The moment the train roared into action, Tan Zhenman locked the room and directly asked Mo Wuji about his promise. Mo Wuji nodded and asked, "First, tell me what¡¯s tested in the Three Star Exam. What are the requirements?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Tan Zhenman stared at Mo Wuji blankly. At the next instant, her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even know what¡¯s tested in the Three Star Exam but he still assured her that he would help her pass. Her mind must have been malfunctioning. Why did she actually believe such a person? After some time, the anger and disappointment within Tan Zhenman¡¯s eyes gradually faded. It was replaced by helplessness and acceptance. "Ha¡­" Tan Zhenman sighed. She slowly said to Mo Wuji, "Just take it as I gave you a free ride. I will stop at the next station. Thereafter, you will walk your own path while I will traverse my own." Mo Wuji knew what Tan Zhenman was thinking. He looked at Tan Zhenman and said calmly, "It¡¯s not because I¡¯m inferior that I don¡¯t know about the Three Star Exam. Conversely, it¡¯s because the Three Star Exam is too inferior. It¡¯s inferior to the point where I didn¡¯t even care about understanding it. Now, it¡¯s because I need your help to lead the way that I chose to lower myself to learn about this exam. If not for your help to lead the way, I wouldn¡¯t care about how you choose to walk your path. Now, the only thing I can do is for you to believe me." As he got here, Mo Wuji turned to Tan Zhenman¡¯s bag and said, "If I¡¯m not wrong, you have a knife in your bag. You can take your knife out and slash my arm." "You want me to use my Tan Clan¡¯s knife to slash you?" Tan Zhenman¡¯s eyes went wide open. She even suspected that she had met with a madman. The rise of the Tan Clan was due to their tools and equipment. Some people that head towards Planet Diyuan even purchased equipment from the Tan Clan. Now, Mo Wuji actually asked her to slash him with one of the Tan Clan¡¯s knives. Didn¡¯t he know that the Tan Clan¡¯s knives were even capable of slashing through one¡¯s skull? Chapter 838: Recovering The Spirit Storage Channel Chapter 838: Recovering The Spirit Storage Channel Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "That¡¯s right. You didn¡¯t hear wrongly." Mo Wuji extended his arm. Inside, he was filled with helplessness. Now, he really had nothing else besides his insanely strong body. If he could use even a strand of his spiritual will, he wouldn¡¯t suggest such a thing. Tan Zhenman looked at Mo Wuji seriously and said, "Mo Wuji, my Tan Clan rose with our knives. Even experts qualified to go to Planet Diyuan would purchase weapons from my Tan Clan. The knife in my hand, in particular, is a peak grade product of my Tan Clan. You sure you want me to slash you?" Mo Wuji said indifferently, "That¡¯s right. Just do it. I hope that after you slash me, you will hurry and tell me about the Three Star Exam. I don¡¯t really have that much time." To Mo Wuji, time was indeed the most precious thing. His sea of consciousness had been split apart and he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to use his spiritual will. Now, his only hope was to forcibly open his storage ring. That way, he would have a strand of hope. Alternatively, he could forcibly try and enter his Undying World. As for the knife, although he lost his cultivation, even low-grade immortal equipment wouldn¡¯t be able to cause an injury to his body. "Alright." Tan Zhenman was extremely straightforward. With a quick movement of her hand, she retrieved the knife from her bag. She didn¡¯t even slow down as she slashed that knife down towards Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. Seeing Tan Zhenman¡¯s actions, Mo Wuji could tell that this girl was experienced with battles. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have such fluid movements. Clearly, she had some confidence when she decided to follow him to Jing Yang by herself. As Mo Wuji saw the knife descend, he felt speechless. This slash was clearly a false move. From the looks of it, Tan Zhenman still believed that he was lying to her. Indeed, the knife suddenly stopped just as it was a few centimetres away from Mo Wuji¡¯s arm. Tan Zhenman looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment, "You¡¯re really not dodging?" Mo Wuji looked at Tan Zhenman calmly, "My time is really limited. If you really trust me, then you should tell me what¡¯s tested in that Three Star Exam. If you don¡¯t trust me, then hurry and slash me." "Alright!" Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t raise the knife in her hand. Instead, she pressed it down softly. With the sharpness of her Tan Clan¡¯s knife, even a light pressure should be enough to cut Mo Wuji. If her knife cut through Mo Wuji¡¯s skin and Mo Wuji still wanted her to slash him, then she would no longer care about this madman. Immediately, Tan Zhenman was stunned. At the start, she only used a little strength. Towards the end, she used more force. However, her knife was unable to even cut through Mo Wuji¡¯s skin. "You cultivate the Steel Sleeve Technique?" Tan Zhenman suddenly recalled a martial art from a novel. Mo Wuji was too lazy to answer Tan Zhenman. He directly closed his eyes and he tried to slowly communicate with his spiritual will. In merely a breath¡¯s time, that soul-stabbing pain caused Mo Wuji to give up on that crazy idea. When Tan Zhenman saw Mo Wuji ignoring her, she lifted her knife by 1 inch then slashed down, then 2 inches¡­ After ten consecutive times, she was sure that Mo Wuji¡¯s arm was truly very tough. She then decided to slash at Mo Wuji in earnest. Even so, she still subconsciously retracted her force as her knife approached Mo Wuji¡¯s arm. Even after that slash, there wasn¡¯t even a white mark left on Mo Wuji¡¯s skin. Tan Zhenman gritted her teeth. This time, she didn¡¯t have any intentions of holding back. She raised her knife. Almost drawing an entire arc, she forcefully sliced down towards Mo Wuji¡¯s arm. At the most, she would send Mo Wuji to the hospital and help him reattach his arm. Thus, this knife contained her intentions of slicing Mo Wuji¡¯s entire arm off. As this knife approached Mo Wuji¡¯s arm, Mo Wuji actually felt a hint of killing intent. "Bang!" The knife directly rebounded off Mo Wuji¡¯s arm. The power of the rebound actually sent Tan Zhenman moving backwards, slamming against the door of the commercial box. Tan Zhenman looked at Mo Wuji in shock. This was the first time she witnessed such a bizarre incident. Even if the federation¡¯s number one expert, Xi Li, got struck by that slash, his arm would be heavily injured, right? Now, she didn¡¯t even see a single mark on Mo Wuji¡¯s arm. What did this mean? Tan Zhenman¡¯s heart suddenly burned with fervour. This meant that Mo Wuji was truly someone with capabilities. If that was true, then that would mean that Mo Wuji could actually be able to guide her to pass the Three Star Exam. "Big Brother Mo¡­" Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t dare to call Mo Wuji by his name, she didn¡¯t even call him senior anymore. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t reply. She could see that Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes were closed and he seemed to be deep in something. His brows were continuously twitching, as though he was being tortured by a great pain. Could he have been injured by that slash? Tan Zhenman soon cast that idea aside. Her slash didn¡¯t even leave a mark on Mo Wuji¡¯s arm, how could it have injured Mo Wuji? She didn¡¯t dare to interrupt Mo Wuji. Instead, she carefully kept her knife. After she kept her knife, she finally felt the intense pain around her body. That rebound just now had actually caused her muscles to ache. "Is there anything you need help with?" A service attendant¡¯s voice sounded from the outside of the box. Tan Zhenman hurriedly said, "No need, no need. We are busy." The attendant heard Tan Zhenman¡¯s words, shook his head and left. The wealthy really know how to entertain themselves. To think that they would do such a thing in the commercial box of a train. ¡­ At this instant, Mo Wuji was completely oblivious to what Tan Zhenman was doing. That hint of killing intent exuded by Tan Zhenman actually stimulated his breath scattering channel. Currently, he was trying to link with his breath scattering channel. As long as he got communicate with the breath scattering channel, he could use it communicate with the other meridians. Mo Wuji no longer dared to count on his sea of consciousness. Now, he could only place his hope on his spirit storage channel. "Crack!" Mo Wuji finally communicated with his breath scattering channel. He forcefully suppressed his agitation as he got his breath scattering channel to begin its circulation. Earth didn¡¯t have any spiritual energy but Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians were filled with elemental energy. After forming one complete circulation, his breath scattering channel then linked with his second meridian. After the two meridians finished a circulation, they connected with the third meridian. Fourth, fifth¡­ When Mo Wuji finally communicated with all 108 meridians successfully, he opened his eyes in agitation. His injuries were heavy and he was currently unable to recover. However, this was not important. Now, he had obtained the chance to recover. Seeing Mo Wuji sit still without moving, Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t dare to interrupt him. She seemed to feel a majestic energy circulating around Mo Wuji. This gave her a peculiar feeling. She felt like she was young again and she was looking up towards the grand space through a telescope. The current Mo Wuji actually gave her the same impression as space; they were both majestic and unfathomable. "Big Brother Mo¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji open his eyes, Tan Zhenman cried out once more. Mo Wuji waved his hand. Thereafter, he popped an entire vase of Zhi Nature Pills in his mouth, then he threw out a pile of green crystals around himself. In merely a few breaths time, Mo Wuji kept his green crystals. He sighed emotionally; it truly wasn¡¯t simple for him to heal his sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji only revealed his green crystals for a short moment. However, during that short moment, Tan Zhenman actually felt like an entire century had passed. The moment she glanced at those crystals, she felt her brain clearing up significantly. In fact, that instant could be the greatest instance of clarity in her entire life. She almost wanted to beg Mo Wuji to give her one green crystal. She would rather have it than to pass the Three Star Exam. Mo Wuji looked at Tan Zhenman, whose eyes were now glued to him. He said, "If you are willing to trust me, then tell me what¡¯s tested in the Three Star Exam. Oh right, because I have always been learning the martial arts with my master in the depths of the mountains, I don¡¯t really have an understanding of the outside world. You can also tell me about the critical matters regarding the Age of Space." In reality, the moment Mo Wuji managed to communicate with his spirit storage channel, he no longer needed Tan Zhenman¡¯s help. It wouldn¡¯t be a problem for his spirit storage channel to search one Jingshou Mountain. This was why Mo Wuji¡¯s meridian cultivation was so impressive. If he was any other cultivator, he would be crippled the moment his sea of consciousness collapses. Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have his sea of consciousness, he had his spirit storage channel and his elemental storage channel. Tan Zhenman slowly regained her composure. Her eyes flashed with an indescribable glee, "I believe you, Big Brother Mo. After Earth entered the Age of Space, the 200 over countries on Earth formed the Space Navigation Federation Control Centre. Every person, organisation, or country that wishes to go to space must apply through the control centre. After discovering that Planet Diyuan was habitable, the Spatial Navigation Federation moved to Planet Diyuan. At the same time, the talents on Earth could use the various methods offered by the federation to get to Planet Diyuan. Getting to Planet Diyuan through school is the simplest way. One would only need to pass the selection test. However, not everyone would get a chance to take part in the selection test. Only those that pass the Three Star Exam get to have the rights to participate. It¡¯s very hard for those that aren¡¯t in schools to get to Planet Diyuan. For these people, they have to pass the challenges. During these challenges, they would fight with various kinds of beasts. One can only enter Planet Diyuan after succeeding in three challenges. In reality, I heard that out of everyone ten thousand people that take the challenge, not more than 20 would succeed. A majority of those that fail either die or suffer heavy injuries." Mo Wuji said, "You¡¯re saying that if I help you to pass the Three Star Exam, you would only obtain the rights to compete with others to enter Planet Diyuan? You¡¯re not guaranteed an entrance to Planet Diyuan?" Tan Zhenman nodded, "Yes. Actually, it¡¯s already very hard to pass the Three Star Exam. Xing Da University doesn¡¯t even have ten people that pass the exams every year. I have already passed the One Star and Two Star Exams. However, I have failed the Three Star Exam three times. The Three Star Exam has a theory and a practical portion. Most people can pass the theory portion. You only need to work hard and study. However, the practical portion is hard. It composes of the endurance test, gravity test, strength test, poison resistance test, physical resistance test, senses test¡­" Mo Wuji stopped Tan Zhenman from speaking. He already understood; this was a test of multiple capabilities, "I understand now. I have two options for you¡­" Chapter 839: Returning To Jingshou Mountain Chapter 839: Returning To Jingshou Mountain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What are the two options?" Tan Zhenman did not seem to be able to hold it in when she asked this question. "The first method is for me to help you to complete three challenges in an hour¡­ no, in less than an hour. Of course, with what I will be teaching you, it should be easy for you to pass any tests¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, Tan Zhenman said earnestly and anxiously, "Big Brother Mo, you¡¯re saying that if you help for the next hour, I will definitely be able to pass the Three Star Exam? Not only that, I can also place among the top three in the federation¡¯s selection?" "That¡¯s right," Mo Wuji nodded, "not only that, even if you choose not to take the exam, but go for those free-for-all challenges, you will still be able to pass and enter Planet Diyuan." Even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know what¡¯s the difference between the Joint Space Navigation Federation and Earth¡¯s Space Navigation Federation [1], he couldn¡¯t be bothered to ask about it. "Big Brother Mo, is what you¡¯re saying true? Only 20 to 30 people out of 10,000 actually pass the challenges¡­" Tan Zhenman was so agitated that her voice was trembling slightly.Mo Wuji said with certainty, "My words weigh more than gold." His 108 meridians had already been fully linked. Even though his sea of consciousness hadn¡¯t recovered, his current abilities could still put him at the top of the Immortal World. If he helped Tan Zhenman and she still wasn¡¯t even able to deal with some puny animals, then he would be a fake Immortal Emperor. "I¡¯m willing. I choose this method." Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t hesitate to say. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, "You¡¯re not willing to hear my second option?" Even though Tan Zhenman¡¯s temperament was not bad, it seems like she was still not suitable to be his disciple. She should have kept her cool and waited for him to say both his options before she made her decision, right? The reason why he suddenly considered of accepting Tan Zhenman as a disciple was because Tan Zhenman had really helped him. If not for Tan Zhenman¡¯s slash, his breath scattering channel wouldn¡¯t have been stimulated. Consequently, his other meridians wouldn¡¯t have been stimulated. This was especially important for his spirit storage channel and his elemental storage channel. This time, his sea of consciousness had suffered a terrible damage. Even his Star Sea Sacred Technique and his Zhi Nature Pills weren¡¯t able to do much. Thus, he could only depend on his spirit storage channel. Even though it was going to be a long and arduous process, it was only made possible due to that slash. Moreover, Tan Zhenman was relatively kind; she did more than 10 probing slashes before she finally decided to go all out. Mo Wuji even left his legacy behind on Planet Heavenly Crow. Naturally, he intended to leave behind a part of his legacy on Earth, and that person definitely couldn¡¯t be a bloodthirsty person. Xian Zhiyang was not bad, but Mo Wuji only needed a single glance at Xian Zhiyang to tell that his innate talent could not make it. In a place sparse in spiritual energy like Earth, lacking talent as well was simply a waste of time. He wouldn¡¯t spend his time to slowly develop a disciple with his meridian opening solution. Thus, he could only give Xian Zhiyang some riches. Tan Zhenman¡¯s face was slightly red; she knew that she had been too agitated and had lost her calm. She asked awkwardly, "Big Brother Mo, what¡¯s this second option?" "The second option is for you to give up on Planet Diyuan and accept me as your master. I will teach you for one month, and your results after this one month will depend on you," Mo Wuji said solemnly. He was an Immortal Emperor. Even in a place lacking in spiritual energy like Earth, a month was more than enough to help Tan Zhenman step into the Yuan Dan Stage and walk the path of cultivation. "Ah¡­" Tan Zhenman uttered. She didn¡¯t know how she should reject Mo Wuji. The first option allowed her to fulfil her wish to go to Planet Diyuan. On the other hand, the second option was for her to learn under Mo Wuji for only a month, and she even had to give up on Planet Diyuan. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance at Tan Zhenman¡¯s expression to know what she was thinking. His heart was slightly disappointed as he said, "You only have one chance to choose. After this choice, you can no longer change it. I will not give you another chance to change." Tan Zhenman pursed her lips, "Big Brother Mo, I choose the first option: To have the ability to pass the federation¡¯s test after one hour." "Alright. Sit in front of me with your back facing me." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t waste any words. Since Tan Zhenman had already made her choice, he wasn¡¯t going to explain any further. Every individual¡¯s path was decided by oneself. Whether the decision was right or wrong, every individual must take the responsibility of the consequences. In Tan Zhenman¡¯s perspective, she chose the option which she found the most beneficial to her; in her right, it wasn¡¯t a wrong option. "Yes." Tan Zhenman excitedly sat in front of Mo Wuji with her back facing him. Mo Wuji¡¯s voice gently sounded beside her ear, "Close your eyes. Try to calm yourself down, from your body to your mind¡­" Tan Zhenman followed according to Mo Wuji¡¯s instructions. Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation flowing down from the top of her head. At this moment, she felt like she had entered a hot spring. The hot spring seemed to continuously cleanse the dirt on her body. It was truly dirt. At this instant, Tan Zhenman even felt the dirt within her body oozing out of her. She wanted to open her eyes and take a look, but her eye bags felt too heavy; she was completely unable to open her eyes. After an unknown amount of time, her brain suddenly felt like it was being washed with ice-cold water. Her mind gradually got clearer. Countless of information was entering her brain; a complete fist art and a complete knife art appeared within her mind. Thereafter, there was an art of agility. Just when Tan Zhenman was hoping that this feeling could carry on forever, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. Tan Zhenman suddenly opened her eyes and she saw Mo Wuji looking at her calmly. "Big Brother Mo, I¡­" Tan Zhenman merely said half a sentence but she could feel that something was different. It felt as though her entire body was lighter. At the same time, her mind felt clearer. She suspected that if someone gave her a profound text now, she could memorise it without missing a single word. She clearly didn¡¯t have a proper training in martial arts but she felt strong and self-confident. She was sure that even a strong martial artist wouldn¡¯t even be able to do anything to her. Tan Zhenman subconsciously stood up, then she suddenly punched out; "Bam!" The teacups in the box room were directly smashed into pieces by her punch. Mo Wuji said, "I¡¯ve helped you to wash your marrows and clean your channels. I¡¯ve also incribed some things within your mind. Of course, you would still need to go through several days of practice for all these to set in. Thereafter, you would be ready to take part in the exam. Remember to practise your fist art every day. Even though it can¡¯t increase your longevity, it would be able to help increase your inner energy." Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t even respond to Mo Wuji¡¯s words. She felt that all this was so unreal. However, she could clearly feel the changes to her body. "That¡¯s not right. Big Brother Mo, I remembered that my body seemed to secrete a lot of dirt¡­" Tan Zhenman finally recalled what happened to her body not long ago. Mo Wuji pointed to an egg-sized ball of dirt in the rubbish bin and said, ¡®Those are the impurities within your body. I helped you to expel them." That was a simple impurity removing technique. To Mo Wuji, the marrow cleansing process was even harder. Of course, it was impossible for him to raise Tan Zhenman¡¯s potential indefinitely. After all, he only had one spirit storage channel and the recovery of his sea of consciousness depended on his spirit storage channel. Even though the Zhi Nature Pill could replenish spiritual will, he didn¡¯t have much Zhi Nature Pills left either. Moreover, before his sea of consciousness was completely recovered, he didn¡¯t dare to casually concoct pills. "The train has arrived at Qi Kou. Passengers heading to Qi Kou, please take note¡­" An announcement came from the train¡¯s system. Mo Wuji stood up, "Go back and acclimatise yourself for a few days. Then, you should be ready to take the exam. I will get off now." "Big Brother Mo, you don¡¯t need me to follow you to Jing Yang?" Tan Zhenman asked hurriedly. Mo Wuji replied, "Yes. I suddenly have a method to find that place. I no longer need you to accompany me." With that, Mo Wuji opened the door to the box and left with the crowd. It was only until Mo Wuji disappeared into the crowd that Tan Zhenman suddenly realised that she had countless questions that she wanted to ask Mo Wuji. By the time she anxiously left the train, Mo Wuji had already disappeared. Tan Zhenman started to quicken her footsteps. She seemed to have a feeling like she had missed out on something. However, just as she used strength in her footsteps, she suddenly sprang forward by several meters. In her shock, Tan Zhenman stopped moving. Thereafter, she ignored the surprised gazes as she left the scene swiftly. She finally understood the meaning behind Mo Wuji¡¯s words; she needed some time to get used to her new power. Now that Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel had recovered, he naturally didn¡¯t need Tan Zhenman to follow him. He could directly fly to Jing Yang and with his spirit storage channel, he could easily search through the entire Jingshou Mountain. ¡­ Jingshou Mountain. This wasn¡¯t an unfamiliar place; Mo Wuji had been here before. Jingshou Mountain was near Jing Yang City, and it could be considered the tallest mountain within Jing Yang. Back when Mo Wuji first came here, he felt the majesty of Jingshou Mountain. With Jing Yang River nearby, Jingshou Mountain had an additional sense of loftiness. Even though Jingshou Mountain was near the river, this place didn¡¯t develop into a tourist site. This was because Jingshou Mountain didn¡¯t have any other special characteristics besides its height. Today, Mo Wuji paid another visit to Jingshou Mountain. Now, Jingshou Mountain had turned bare and was littered with grey rock and sand. Jing Yang River seemed to have dried up a long time ago; now, its riverbed was filled with all sorts of rubbish. Mo Wuji stood at the peak of Jingshou Mountain. He remained silent without speaking. If Wen Xiaoqi knew that the Jing Yang River below Jingshou Mountain would become a trash dump, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have chosen this place to be his grave. After a simple sigh, Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will out. Jingshou Mountain wasn¡¯t small. But with Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation, he didn¡¯t need a long time to penetrate into every bit of Jingshou Mountain. In merely ten minutes, Mo Wuji landed on the side of the mountain next to Jing Yang River. He opened his hand and grabbed a button from the ground. Even though he was in his second life, Mo Wuji could still feel that this was the button from the clothes that he was wearing when he was on Earth. This should be the place that Wen Xiaoqi chose to be his grave. [1] The second one is referring to the control centre established by the 200 over countries. Chapter 840: Examination Chapter 840: Examination Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Besides this button, there was no other of his belongings. Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will scanned the surroundings once more; in a short time, he understood what was going on. This place had been excavated, and it was excavated more than once. He clenched his fists tightly, killing intent revolved around him. If he knew who was the one that excavated this place, it didn¡¯t matter who that person was; it didn¡¯t matter if that person was an ordinary person, he would not hesitate to reduce that person to ashes. He got a second chance at life, so his corpse wasn¡¯t that important. However, Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s corpse was also in the area. Now that this place had been excavated like this, where on Earth could he find Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s corpse? After a long time, the gloominess in his heart gradually receded. Mo Wuji decided that he would first find a place to recover his cultivation. Regardless whether Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s corpse was still in Jingshou Mountain, he would still find Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s relatives. An hour later, Mo Wuji sold some jade stools at a jade equipment shop. Thereafter, he rented a remote room in Jing Yang City and started to recover his sea of consciousness. He didn¡¯t know how long this seclusion would last; thus, he had no means of staying at a hotel. ¡­ Qi Shu City was the provincial capital of Kai Nam Province. However, it wasn¡¯t very famous within the country. And when compared to the entire world, Qi Shu City could only be considered a small city. There were even many people that had never heard of it. But because the Joint Space Navigation Federation was recruiting three graduating students here, the inconspicuous Qi Shu City had suddenly brimmed with activity. Countless people streamed towards Qi Shu City. They all had the same goal: To obtain one of the three places to Planet Diyuan. The public announcement by the Joint Space Navigation Federation was very clear, that was only students from Kai Nam Province could take part in the examinations. However, the ones truly taking part in the examination wasn¡¯t limited to native students from Kai Nam Province; there were even foreign students as well. Since the federation made the announcement, the busiest people weren¡¯t from the federation itself. Instead, they were from the various universities in Kai Nam Province. This was because countless students were trying to use their connections to enrol in the various universities in Kai Nam Province. Everyone was clear that when compared to going through the three challenges, passing the federation¡¯s test as a student was less dangerous and had higher rates of success. Qi Shu City¡¯s Observatory Plaza. Not only was this one of the biggest public plazas in Qi Shu City, it was also where the examinations were being held. Thereafter, the Joint Space Navigation Federation¡¯s selection was also going to be conducted in the same plaza. Because the Joint Space Navigation Federation was soon going to accept three students from Kai Nam Province, there were many students coming here to take part in the Three Star Exam. Currently, Tan Zhenman was sitting calmly in the hall. She had already reported her name but because there were too many people, she had to sit here and wait. Don¡¯t simply look at how her Tan Clan was a relatively powerful clan. In this sort of examination site, the Tan Clan also wouldn¡¯t have the qualifications to make use their relations. This was even more so for a female of the Tan Clan; if the Tan Clan had some relations that they could tap on, they would reserve it for a male descendant. There were many students waiting in the hall. They were all engaged in their own discussions about the topics tested in the Three Star Exam. At the same time, they were discussing the various little tricks and tips they could employ during the different tests. Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t engage in such discussions. She had come to take part in this examination by herself; she didn¡¯t even tell any of her classmates. After a month of training, Tan Zhenman¡¯s heart was especially clear that what Mo Wuji had taught her was extremely dumbfounding. No, it shouldn''t be ¡®taught her¡¯ but ¡®gave her¡¯. She merely spent one month to adapt to her new abilities and knowledge. If it was the previous her, she definitely wouldn¡¯t believe that she could jump over this 8m-tall wall in front of her. There was no need to talk about 8m; even if it was 4m or 5m, she still wouldn¡¯t be able to get over it with her full effort. Moreover, that was even after she had trained hard for the Three Star Exam. But now, this 8m-tall wall was nothing. She only needed to jump up with her feet; she didn¡¯t even need to use her hands. She was very clear that if she had another few months to train, there was no need to talk about 8 meters, even if it was something taller, she would still be able to get over it. The Three Star Exam was exactly as Mo Wuji had told her - it really wasn¡¯t anything much. She had 100% certainty that she was able to pass it. When Mo Wuji left, Tan Zhenman was wondering why she felt like she had lost something. Now, she could faintly feel that she had lost the greatest opportunity in her life. What she gained was something beyond her wildest dreams. Tan Zhenman knew that if she became Mo Wuji¡¯s disciple, these gains would only be a fraction of what she could get. Now, she was sure that Mo Wuji was definitely an heir to a powerful martial artist; he was definitely a man of substance. The only thing she couldn¡¯t understand was why she had to stay on Earth if she wanted to be Mo Wuji¡¯s disciple. "This junior, are you also here to take part in the Three Star Exam?" A robust-looking youth walked to Tan Zhenman and sat down beside her. He invited himself to a conversation. "Yes." Tan Zhenman answered indifferently. This robust youth did not seem to mind Tan Zhenman¡¯s indifference. Instead, he grinned and extended his hand, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Gong Xuefeng, I¡¯m from Ping Hai¡¯s Gong Clan and I¡¯m a student of Hai Tong Aviation University. Now, I have transferred to Xing Wu University and I¡¯m also here to take part in the Three Star Exam." Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t extend her hand. She only nodded and said, "Hello. Tan Zhenman. Also from Xing Wu." If it was one month ago, she would definitely have stood up and introduced herself to this Gong Clan¡¯s Gong Xuefeng. In terms of clan history, her Tan Clan wasn¡¯t even a tiny dot in front of the Gong Clan. But today¡¯s Tan Zhenman knew that even if the entire Gong Clan was in front of her, they would still be far inferior to that mysterious Big Brother Mo. Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t know where Mo Wuji came from. Half a month ago, she wanted to ask Xian Zhiyang about it. However, Xian Zhiyang had actually quit school and had disappeared. Tan Zhenman suspected that Xian Zhiyang really listened to Mo Wuji¡¯s words to give up on Planet Diyuan and purchase land on Earth. Currently, all the wealthy people on Earth wanted to go to Planet Diyuan. Land was the least valuable thing left on Earth. When Gong Xuefeng saw that Tan Zhenman still dismissed him even after he stated his background, he was slightly infuriated. This had never happened before. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his name was announced. Following which, he heard Tan Zhenman¡¯s name. He was actually in the same examination batch as Tan Zhenman. Tan Zhenman took in a deep breath and stood up. Then, she walked towards the Three Star Exam¡¯s physical examination site. Although she was sure that she would be able to pass the Three Star Exam, she was still feeling slightly nervous. After all, any student that could pass the Three Star Exam was an incredible existence. There was no need to talk about how they would be respected in their schools; even their clans would focus resources on them. Even if they weren¡¯t able to go to Planet Diyuan, anyone that passed the Three Star Exam would have a high status on Earth; it was a status that an ordinary person could never hope of comparing to. The first event of the Three Star Exam¡¯s physical examination was the Gravity Test. The Gravity Test was different from the Endurance Test; the Endurance Test was still separated into minor tests such as Heat Endurance, Cold Endurance, etc. There was only one test in the Gravity Test, that was to cross nine gravity steps. The gravitational force on these nine steps increased gradually. Ordinary people that have never trained in their lives definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand these nine gravity steps. By the time they reached the final two steps, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to lift their thighs. Bones fracturing due to the pressure was a common sight. Some wealthier clans would purchase the body tempering solution from the Xia Clan. After using the solution to temper their bodies, they would attempt the Gravity Test. However, most people were like Tan Zhenman, they could only go through this test with their own innate talents. Tan Zhenman was sure that if she hadn¡¯t met Mo Wuji, she would never pass this Gravity Test in her entire life. If she couldn¡¯t even pass the Gravity Test, then there was no need to even mention the other tests. As she stood in front of the nine gravity steps, Tan Zhenman actually calmed down. She lifted her feet and placed it on the first gravity step. The pressure, that she used to be unable to endure, actually didn¡¯t seem to affect her at all. She subconsciously turned to see the people falling off the steps around her; her heart was increasingly filled with gratitude towards Mo Wuji. Even though this physical examination wasn¡¯t life-threatening like the Three Challenges, injuries were still a common sight. The second step, third step¡­ Tan Zhenman casually climbed up the nine steps and easily passed the Gravity Test. Just as Tan Zhenman passed the Gravity Test, an automatic announcement sounded, "Examinee Tan Zhenman has passed the Gravity Test. Please head down to the next test room for your Endurance Test." In the Examination Score Calculation Office, a man and a woman were engaged in a conversation. It was unknown what they were talking about but the two of them seemed to be increasingly absorbed in it. In reality, for such an examination, the Examination Score Calculation Office was merely there to handle minor inquiries. Once an examinee enters the test rooms, the tests would run automatically. Even the points were automatically allocated by the system; no one could externally change the scores. The two of them heard the announcement regarding Tan Zhenman passing the Gravity Test but they didn¡¯t pay much heed to it. After all, the Gravity Test was only the first test. However, on the huge display screen behind them, a row of words appeared: Tan Zhenman, Three Star Exam Gravity Test Score - 100. It was one thing to pass the Gravity Test, but another to score 100 points. It¡¯s rumoured that since the inception of the Three Star Exam Gravity Test, less than 10 people in the entire Earth attained full marks of 100 points. Planey Diyuan¡¯s number one expert, Xi Li, was one of the few that scored 100 points. If the two of them saw the score, perhaps they would have been stupefied. Then, they would run off in a fluster to inform their higher-ups. This was the first time Tan Zhenman came to the Endurance Test Room. She had attempted the Three Star Exam several times before but she had always been eliminated in the very first round. The moment she entered the room, Tan Zhenman saw an orange flame. In front of the orange flame, there was a line of words: Walk into the fire. The temperature of this fire wasn¡¯t exceptionally high. Moreover, if the examinee faints or suffers heavy injuries while within the fire, the fire would be immediately extinguished and help would be sent over. Tan Zhenman walked into the fire. She only felt some slight heat. Ten minutes later, she got past the fire and walked into an icy-cold pool. Chapter 841: Huge Stir Chapter 841: Huge Stir Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tan Zhenman walked out of the Three Star Exam¡¯s building; a feeling of emptiness appeared in her heart. One month ago, passing the Three Star Exam was her greatest dream. But now, after passing the Three Star Exam, she discovered that she had lost the goal that she was fighting for. She once heard that the person who passed the Three Star Exam in the shortest time was Senior Xi Li; he only needed one day. This was because rest was allowed after every test. On the other hand, Tan Zhenman didn¡¯t even use two hours. Moreover, this was even when some tests required her to spend a fixed amount of time during the test. Otherwise, her time would have been shorter. At this instant, participating in the Joint Space Navigation Federation¡¯s selection wasn¡¯t important to her anymore. With her current abilities, she could easily go use the ¡®challenge¡¯ method to get to Planet Diyuan. There was completely no need for her to fight with others for those three placings. Tan Zhenman lowered her head to look at the Star Grade Watch on her wrist. Previously, there were only two stars on the watch. Now that she had passed the Three Star Exam, there was an additional star on the watch. This watch was a symbol of her status. Even if she didn¡¯t go to Planet Diyuan and stayed on Earth, she would still be respected everywhere she goes. Moreover, the three stars on her watch were gold. Only students that got full marks for the Three Star Exam would obtain gold stars. According to Tan Zhenman¡¯s understanding, Senior Xi Li was the only other person with three golden stars. Senior Xi Li? Tan Zhenman smiled with self-contempt. This senior probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to withstand a slap from Mo Wuji. A feeling of regret rose in Tan Zhenman¡¯s heart. She had made the wrong choice. As she looked at the bustling Observatory Plaza ahead of her, Tan Zhenman suddenly clenched her fist. She decided to give up on this struggle for those three places. With her abilities, she could go to Planet Diyuan at any time she wanted. Perhaps, what was most important to her now was to find that Big Brother Mo Wuji. Even though she knew that Mo Wuji said that he would only give her one chance, she still wanted to try her luck. ¡­ The Three Star Exam Score Calculation Office. That man and woman finally concluded their conversation. When that woman stood up, her eyes suddenly went wide. She stared straight at the huge display screen behind the man. "Wanfei, are you alright?" The man was shocked by the expression in the woman¡¯s eyes. He also stood up anxiously. The woman called Wanfei pointed at the display screen behind the man. Her voice was stammering as she said, "Ju Shangqi, you, you, look¡­" Ju Shangqi suddenly turned. His mouth went agape. After some time, he stuttered, "Full marks in all the tests. Three Golden Stars. A time of 1 hour and 49 minutes. This, this¡­" "Hurry and report to the higher-ups. That person would definitely have left by now. We¡¯re screwed¡­" Wanfei finally reacted; her voice was trembling. "Right, right¡­" In a fluster, Ju Shangqi grabbed a telephone. Then, he pressed the red button on it. ¡­ Nan Ji. When the Age of Space came, this used to be where the headquarters for the Joint Space Navigation Federation was located. After Planet Diyuan was discovered, the headquarters was relocated to Planet Diyuan. This place then became the biggest Joint Space Navigation Federation Branch on Earth. At this instant, within the Nan Ji Joint Space Navigation Building, more than a hundred people were in an important meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how the Joint Space Navigation Federation was going to accept 200 talented students and nurture them to enter Planet Diyuan. The one at the head of this meeting was the Joint Space Navigation Federation¡¯s Chief Deacon, Ka Sanuo. "Deacon Ka Sanuo, the condition on Planet Diyuan is getting worse and worse. I feel that accepting 200 people is far too inadequate." The person speaking was a German. He was a committee member of the Joint Space Navigation Federation. His name was Woolf. The number of placings the Chinese had in the Joint Space Navigation Federation Committee was getting higher. Even the current Chief of the Space Navigation Federation, Wei Yiyu, was a Chinese. Even though Chinese hadn¡¯t eliminated the use of English, it had become one of the two major languages of Earth. After Woolf finished speaking, another committee member stood up and said, "Deacon Ka Sanuo, I believe that Committee Member Woolf¡¯s words are very reasonable. The costs of sending people from Earth to Planet Diyuan is indeed very high. However, I feel that at this stage, nurturing talent is the most important thing we should do. 200 people are truly too little." After these two, a few other people also stood up and expressed their agreement. Basically, they felt that 200 people were too little and that they should send more people to Planet Diyuan. Ka Sanuo¡¯s was thin and tall, and his eyebags were very heavy. When some people came forward to suggest alternative opinions, he didn¡¯t interrupt. Instead, he waited for everyone to finish speaking before he said slowly, "With the resources on Planet Diyuan and with our current abilities, we can only nurture 200 people. That is the maximum. Even an expert like Xi Li doesn¡¯t have the ability to protect himself when he arrived at Planet Diyuan. Selecting more people that do not have the talent is useless; you would only be sending them to their deaths. Even among these 200 people, if 20 of them could survive after one year, it could already be considered a miracle." There were some matters that some of these committee members weren¡¯t clear of. However, he, Ka Sanuo, was extremely clear about them. When Planet Diyuan was first discovered, Earth used their advanced technology to occupy a huge plot of land on Planet Diyuan. The air on Planet Diyuan was very clean and it was rich in ores and minerals. This caused all the rich and powerful people on Earth to head towards Planet Diyuan. Following which, their territory on Planet Diyuan expanded. At the same time, more and more people headed towards Planet Diyuan. That¡¯s when various problems started to appear. One of these problems was the appearance of savage beasts; these beasts started to devour the human beings that were living on Planet Diyuan. These beasts had staggering physical resistance and strong healing factors. Weapons of smaller calibres were completely useless against these beasts. Only huge guns were able to kill them. However, these huge guns were generally very heavy; a single person wouldn¡¯t be able to carry one on him. As for tanks, they couldn¡¯t even be operated on the densely forested Planet Diyuan. Moreover, there were beasts that were ten times larger than an elephant. These beasts only needed a single foot to crush multiple tanks into pieces. After multiple battles with the savage beasts, the human beings realised that cold weapons were more effective against these savage beasts. These cold weapons would deal more damage to the beasts, and at the same time, the injuries formed by the cold weapons take longer for the beasts to heal. Recently, some scientists discovered that the beasts didn¡¯t seem to fear fire. It was even possible for the essence within the fire to become the nutrition of these beasts. Some beasts could even absorb the explosive power of a bullet and convert it into their own energy. Because the scientists on Earth didn¡¯t know anything about physique tempering, they couldn¡¯t understand why these beasts could absorb the power of bullets. If the bullets didn¡¯t kill the beast, that beast would get stronger. As for the residual effects of the bullets in the beasts¡¯ bodies, the beasts were too stupid to consider them. They would simply fight to their deaths. The beasts that could be killed by bullets were basically the weaker ones. This was why the Federation¡¯s tests didn¡¯t place much emphasis on guns. Planet Diyuan was a place the human beings wanted to relocate to. Naturally, human beings didn¡¯t dare to casually use nuclear weapons. If nuclear weapons were used to frequently, then Planet Diyuan might no longer be habitable. Besides all this, there was another secret in Planet Diyuan. That was the meat and innards of these beasts contain some mystical power. Human beings that consume these meats would see an increase in their strength and their physical resistance. The premise was that these beasts had to be killed using cold weapons. If the beasts were killed using heat-type weapons, the quality of the meat would change. Even though there were still some effects, these effects weren¡¯t even a tenth of when the beasts were killed using cold weapons. As more people got killed by the savage beasts, human beings were forced into a small corner. Many of the wealthy people that went towards Planet Diyuan started to regret their decisions. It was just that the Federation had a tight seal over this information; they didn¡¯t allow any sort of panic to spread to Earth. After Ka Sanuo said those words, the meeting room went silent. Even though the Federation tried to keep the information sealed, many of the people here could already faintly guess that the situation on Planet Diyuan wasn¡¯t good. Woolf sighed and didn¡¯t speak any further; his knowledge was slightly higher than most of the others here. Right at this moment, a switchboard operator hurriedly came to Ka Sanuo¡¯s side and whispered, "This is an important call." "Hurry." Ka Sanuo anxiously accepted the call. His heart was beating rapidly; he thought about the defensive line on Planet Diyuan. They had gone through many difficulties to find Planet Diyuan. Almost half of Earth¡¯s talented scientists and other sorts of talents were on Planet Diyuan. Because there were far too many strong beasts on Planet Diyuan, they spent a large number of resources to build a defence line. If this defence line was torn apart by the savage beasts, then those people on Planet Diyuan would have lost all hope. The phone call was connected. When Ka Sanuo heard that this wasn¡¯t regarding Planet Diyuan, he heaved a sigh of relief. Thereafter, he got angry. This was an important meeting, why was such a call allowed in? Before Ka Sanuo could express his rage, he cried out excitedly, "You said that you found an examinee passed the Three Star Exam in less than 2 hours and even got full marks in all the tests? Ok, ok, immediately find that person. I will immediately head over to Qi Shu City¡­" Even when Ka Sanuo put down the phone, he was still very excited. The pillar of support in Planet Diyuan was experts. The number one expert, Xi Li, had said it before: To suppress the beasts on Planet Diyuan, the only way is to find more experts. Perhaps only one absolute expert was needed to suppress all the beasts here. This was also why the Chinese had such a high standing. It was because most of the experts were from China. At the same time, this was also why the Federation wanted to recruit talented students to Planet Diyuan; they wanted to nurture experts. ¡­ "What?" At the same time, Xia You suddenly stood up. His eyes were red as he stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. He spoke, one word at a time, "You are saying, someone passed the Three Star Exam with full marks? And that person did it within 2 hours?" "Yes, it¡¯s definitely true. According to what I know, the Space Navigation Federation¡¯s Ka Sanuo is already heading to Qi Shu City." Xia You clenched his fists tightly. He did not hesitate to say, "Make use of all of the Xia Clan¡¯s power. We need to find that person as soon as possible. We must snatch that person before Ka Sanuo does." Chapter 842: Where Should I Go Chapter 842: Where Should I Go Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. In the past month, he had been carefully using his spirit storage channel and continuously consuming Zhi Nature Pills which gradually started the healing process for the large crack in his sea of consciousness. Due to that strike, the violet energy lake in Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness had been split open. At this moment, not only was the violet energy lake completely devoid of any violet energy, it was dry to the point of cracking. However, Mo Wuji was not worried. Anything new would be difficult at the beginning, but as long as you start on it, things would get progressively easier. If he finished repairing his sea of consciousness, the violet energy lake would also be filled up once again. Indeed, his guess was spot on. Once his sea of consciousness began healing, the speed of restoration became faster over time. Towards the end, on top of his spirit storage channel, even his Star Sea Sacred Technique and Zhi Nature Pills kicked into effect. Days passed, and the pain from his sea of consciousness disappeared suddenly. He felt as though a seed had just sprouted in his head, and a completely new feeling overwhelmed him. Out of excitement, Mo Wuji jumped up. His sea of consciousness had actually turned into a sort of realm. A sea of consciousness could be easily invaded by expert¡¯s souls because it was just a sort of consolidation of a cultivator''s spiritual will and dao. Under normal circumstances, one¡¯s sea of consciousness would be rather difficult to break into, but once the other person¡¯s cultivation level was much higher than yours, it was a completely different story. But this was different after a realm was formed. Any expert that wanted to gain access to your sea of consciousness would have to pass through the realm first. No matter how strong a soul and primordial spirit were, they were just a form of willpower. Other than for a few special cases, most realms with some defences were impossible to invade. This meant that as long as his sea of consciousness could become totally consolidated, no one would be able to possess him in the future unless he allowed their primordial spirit to enter his sea of consciousness. As long as he remained sane, Mo Wuji would never allow other people¡¯s primordial spirit to enter his sea of consciousness. As his sea of consciousness¡¯ realm took shape, his sea of consciousness gradually healed, and violet energy started to return to the violet energy lake. Everything inside the sea of consciousness became clear. Previously, Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness exceeded that of an Immortal Emperor, but now, not only was it larger than before by many times, it had become much more solid. Soon, Mo Wuji¡¯s attention was brought to a large talisman that was left in a corner of his sea of consciousness. The Kun Wu Sword formed layers of sword qi around it, which had a suppressive effect. That talisman was too familiar to Mo Wuji: it was the Sage Dao Talisman of the Talisman Race. So the Kun Wu Sword had indeed suppressed the Sage Dao Talisman. Since the talisman was already inside his sea of consciousness, it could forget about ever leaving. Mo Wuji formed tens of array flags without hesitation and dragged the Sage Dao Talisman straight into his Undying World after locking onto it. Inside the Undying World, no matter how impressive the Sage Dao Talisman was, it wouldn¡¯t be able to escape. The Undying World was his territory, and once he was free, this Sage Dao Talisman would definitely be refined by him. The Sage Dao Talisman was obtained after striking a deal with Fu Xiuhan and putting his life at risk, hence even if the Talisman Race were to demand it, he wouldn¡¯t give it u. As soon as the Sage Dao Talisman was suppressed inside the Undying World, the Kun Wu Sword let out a distinct buzz before landing in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. "Thank you. This time, you¡¯ve saved me and helped me to suppress the Sage Dao Talisman. It¡¯s not your fault that my sea of consciousness got broken. The main problem is my lack of strength." Mo Wuji said appreciatively towards the Kun Wu Sword. He knew that although this sword did not have an equipment spirit, it would have some sort of subconscious mind. Since the Kun Wu Sword helped him this much after he only refined the first layer of its seals, it obviously made up its mind to follow him. Originally, Mo Wuji intended to give the Kun Wu Sword away as he did not cultivate the Sword Dao, but at this moment, he discarded that idea. After putting away the Kun Wu Sword, Mo Wuji began investigating why his sea of consciousness started forming a realm. Within moments, he understood the reason behind it. It had to do with his world channel. Back when his world channel consolidated his Undying World, although it continued to undergo minor circulation with his 108 meridians, its main role was to stabilise and grow the Undying World. During the circulation process, the world channel actually integrated part of the dao aura into his sea of consciousness. It seemed like after his sea of consciousness broke, the world channel also took the initiative of improving on its defensive capabilities, forming a realm for his sea of consciousness. As expected, without destruction, there would not be any construction. If he didn¡¯t split his sea of consciousness open with the Kun Wu Sword, the world channel might not have helped to form a realm for it. Mo Wuji knew that once his cultivation level was high enough, and his understanding towards the dao was deep enough, these things would happen too. However, for it to happen now, it had a completely different meaning. Now he still had a low cultivation level, so doing these things was like sending him coal on a snowy day. In the future when his cultivation level grew higher, it would only be icing on the cake. At this point, even without him going into closed doors cultivations, the Star Sea Sacred Technique, spirit storage channel, and world channel would continuously repair his sea of consciousness. It was finally time to search for Xiaoqi¡¯s family. Once he found them, his next move would be to go to the Xia family to look for Xia Ruoyin. If Xia Ruoyin was dead, he would still take back what rightfully belonged to him. Finally, when he was ready to leave, he would help to restore the environment of Earth and set up a Grade 9 immortal defensive array before going away. As for Planet Diyuan, he had zero interest in going over there. ¡­ Chang Luo City, this was Mo Wuji¡¯s birthplace, and also where he got acquainted with Wen Xiaoqi. However, the thought of visiting the Mo family never crossed his mind. There were no longer any feelings for them left in him. The Mo family was considered to be a decent clan which gained their riches through salvaging items from the sea. Mo Fan was the main member of the Mo family involved in these operations, and rumors had it that he once salvaged a treasure worth 110 million from the ocean. But for someone like Mo Fan that made such immense contributions, he could only live an ordinary life, collecting a month salary from the company. On top of that, he had an ordinary appearance, kept to himself, and couldn¡¯t even find a wife in the end. Back then, Mo Wuji was picked up by Mo Fan by chance, and eventually, they relied on each other heavily. Finally, during one of the salvage trips, Mo Fan never returned, which meant that no one really cared for Mo Wuji anymore. At that point in time, he was only 11. As Mo Wuji had become mature at that young age, he was able to live on his own despite being 11. The inheritance Mo Fan left behind was also sufficient for him to complete his university studies. After graduation, Mo Wuji even went back to search the area in the sea that Mo Fan had disappeared in, but nothing came out of it. Based on subsequent investigations, Mo Wuji found out that the Mo family had treated Mo Fan as a piece of salvage equipment as he was part of a very distant branch of the family. Moreover, Mo Fan was a little too honest and old-fashioned. If it were anyone else, they would be able to get a share of at least a million after salvaging a treasure worth over 100 million, but Mo Fan only took a few thousand dollars as a reward. On the other hand, Wen Xiaoqi was a classmate of Mo Wuji from back when he studied in Chang Luo First Middle School. ¡­ Even though decades had passed, Chang Luo First Middle School was still around, albeit looking more run down than before. The only thing missing was that familiar figure on the school grounds. Mo Wuji stood at the gate of Chang Luo First Middle School, gazing at the numerous students wearing the school uniform streaming in and out, and an unspeakable feeling began moving within him. He was once just like this together with Wen Xiaoqi. Every day, they would go home together after school, and meet at the same location, at the same time, before heading to school. Eventually, both of them were admitted to Jin Nan University, which was the present day Jing Yang Star School. It was at Jing Yang Star School that Xia Ruoyin overshadowed Wen Xiaoqi. Why didn¡¯t he choose to get together with Wen Xiaoqi in the end? Instead he choose Xia Ruoyin? Mo Wuji suddenly thought of a woman named Yue Lingshan from a novel. She didn¡¯t choose to be together with her senior brother but went with the person that wanted to kill her instead. Could love not blossom if both parties knew each other too well? Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes began to redden. He knew that this was not the real reason. It was because he simply did not know how to love another person. More importantly, it was because he had slept with Xia Ruoyin once. If it were still the Mo Wuji from decades ago, he would still think that he had forced himself onto Xia Ruoyin out of a drunken stupor. But the Mo Wuji now knew that it was definitely not the case. Since young, he had developed an independent and mature mindset, and after that many years of a close relationship with Wen Xiaoqi, he never did anything out of line. How could he have bedded Xiao Ruoyin within half a year of entering university? No matter what the reason was, the fact remained that he slept with her, so he couldn¡¯t just abandon her. Hence, from that moment on, he started drifting apart from Wen Xiaoqi. Although he had intentionally distanced himself from Wen Xiaoqi, she did not complain at all, continuing her trips to his dorm, and silently tidied up his room and helped him with little errands. As long as she caught wind of any issues, she would secretly help him settle them. In those days Mo Wuji was just like an ostrich - with his head in the sand, pretending that he didn¡¯t know what was going on, and devoting all of his energy and time on researching solutions. Only now did he realise that Xia Ruoyin had followed him just for his knowledge and talent for medicine. If he hadn¡¯t published multiple revolutionary medical papers in high school, if he didn¡¯t create a solution that could increase one¡¯s vitality, if he didn¡¯t go to university and receive the invitation of the greatest medical research institute in the world¡­ Without all that, would Xia Ruoyin have known who he was? Would Xia Ruoyin have used drugs to trick him into bed? Xia Ruoyin dared to do all that and even knew what his personality was like. She knew that as long as she slept with him, he wouldn¡¯t shirk the responsibility. What a devious woman. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath of cold air as he thought of this. "Your surname is Mo?" A slightly raspy voice appeared beside Mo Wuji. When he lifted up his head, a lady not older than 30 came into sight. This gave Mo Wuji a shock. The lady actually had a few similarities with him. On top of that, he could feel a sort of relation by blood. Chapter 843: Foolish Woman Chapter 843: Foolish Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he thought about bloodlines, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t calm down anymore. His reborn self looked very similar to his original self, and after cultivation, his appearance changed to become even more alike to him in his previous life. This woman could recognise him and was connected to him by blood. Could she be a relative of his? That wasn¡¯t very possible. Even if the other party was one of his relatives, it shouldn¡¯t provoke such a strong blood connection within him. At most, it would be a brief feeling. Suddenly, Mo Wuji thought of one possibility. Back in the day he had slept with Xia Ruoyin once, could it be¡­ As he thought of this, his hands began to shiver. If this woman was Xia Ruoyin¡¯s descendent, how would he deal with her? "May I ask if your surname is Mo?" The lady realised that Mo Wuji¡¯s reaction was a little off, so she prompted him with another question. Only then did Mo Wuji respond. It¡¯s impossible. She couldn¡¯t be Xia Ruoyin¡¯s descendant, because someone like Xia Ruoyin would definitely reveal such information to make him more loyal to her. Moreover, Xia Ruoyin was by his side almost everyday, and even when he drank tea, the tea was warm, all because she stuck by him and took proper care of him while he dove into his research. So how could he not know if she was pregnant? Sighing, Mo Wuji spoke softly, "That¡¯s right, my surname is Mo. You look rather similar to me, may I ask who are your parents?" Just as the lady was about to speak, her expression changed. After turning around, she pulled Mo Wuji along as she walked away, "Let¡¯s leave first, we¡¯ll talk about this later." "Qingche, who is he?" Although the lady was the one pulling Mo Wuji, a tall, well built man still blocked them. The woman named Qingche replied with a grunt, "This is my cousin. I have something on now, get out of my way." After giving Mo Wuji a glance, the man did not rebut what Qingche said since Mo Wuji indeed looked rather similar to Qingche. "Qingche, there¡¯s only a few days left, have you not come to a decision yet?" The man asked again. Biting onhis lips, Qingche responded, "Tomorrow, I¡¯ll give you an answer tomorrow." "Good, I¡¯ll find you in school tomorrow. Don¡¯t forget what you just said." After he finished speaking, the man scanned past Mo Wuji with a cold gaze before turning around and leaving. All this while Mo Wuji remained quiet. Even till now he did not know what kind of relation he had with this woman named Qingche. But he didn¡¯t believe that that man stopped her because he was interested in her. Although Qingche had a refreshing look, with well proportioned features, but yet wasn¡¯t really an extremely beautiful woman. On the other hand, that tall man was very handsome and exuded a sort of noble aura. Qingche, however, obviously had a humble background. Even her clothes were kind of worn out. As expected, Qingche did not live in a very good house. It was a room not more than 30 square meters on the bottom floor of an old building. Other than a pile of books, there were only a few old cupboards in it. After entering the room, Qingche poured a cup of water for Mo Wuji, and asked while sitting opposite him, "Is your grandpa Mo Wuji?" Once he heard her ask whether his grandpa was Mo Wuji, he knew that he had a real connection with Qingche. It wouldn¡¯t be some branch of his uncles or aunts, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t know the name "Mo Wuji". Sadness welled up in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. The only woman that he had sexual relations with was Xia Ruoyin, and since Qingche asked if his grandpa was Mo Wuji, this meant that she was definitely Xia Ruoyin¡¯s descendent, and Xia Ruoyin gave birth to a child without telling him. Xia Ruoyin was unforgivable in his eyes, but this child was totally innocent. "My name is Mo Qingche. My grandfather was also Mo Wuji." Seeing a glint of sadness appear in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, Qingche heaved a sigh of relief and explained. Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji tried his best to soothe his own emotions while he asked, "What are your parents¡¯ names? What is your grandma¡¯s name?" Since Mo Qingche had said that her grandpa was Mo Wuji, she was definitely his descendant. Worldly affairs were just as such. Today, he looked even younger than Mo Qingche, but he was her grandpa. "Then what¡¯s the name of your grandma?" Mo Wuji knew that her grandma was Xia Ruoyin, however he couldn¡¯t resist asking this question. "My grandma is called Wen Xiaoqi¡­" "Crack!" Even though Mo Wuji was an Immortal Emperor, his hands couldn¡¯t help but quiver, knocking over the cup of water on the table. "It¡¯s impossible, completely impossible, your grandma can¡¯t be Wen Xiaoqi." Mo Wuji stood up in disbelief. The two of them might have been in love, but there was never anything that went beyond their boundaries. Mo Qingche was not affected by Mo Wuji¡¯s actions, and she spoke calmly, "I should refer to you as cousin right. It seems like grandpa told you everything, so you must think that my grandma is that b*tch named Xia Ruoyin." This sentence cooled Mo Wuji off. He knew that things couldn¡¯t be so simple. However, he did not tell her straight up that he was Mo Wuji, instead, he sat down and probed further, "Qingche, tell me everything. No matter what it is, I¡¯ll take responsibility." Yet, she shook her head lightly. Mo Wuji appeared so downtrodden, so how could he take any responsibility for her? "For us to have met today, it must be because grandma is looking over me from heaven. I brought you here today because there¡¯s something very important I have to pass to you." Mo Qingche warmly explained. "Explain why your grandma is Wen Xiaoqi first, passing anything to me can wait." Mo Wuji cut her off. Nodding her head, she spoke, "Even if you didn¡¯t bring this up, I would have told you anyway. Actually this was recorded in grandma¡¯s diary, and that diary was given to me by my grandma, so how could I not know?" "Your grandma is still around?" Mo Wuji stood up again. Sadly, Mo Qingche replied, "How am I supposed to hand over the item from the Mo family if you¡¯re so wishy washy? Eh, something¡¯s not right¡­" When she reached this point in her sentence, she seemed to recall something and stood up to inspect Mo Wuji from head to toe. A full minute later, she muttered in a confused manner, "Grandma said that grandpa was killed by that b*tch, Xia Ruoyin, so how could you appear here¡­" At this moment, Mo Qingche slammed her hand on the table, "I understand now. Men are indeed nothing good. Grandpa must have had a third woman secretly behind Xia Ruoyin and grandma¡¯s back. This is because Xia Ruoyin was still a virgin after killing grandpa, so you are definitely not her grandson. But that¡¯s not right, how could it be such a coincidence. The Xia family just found me and wants to take something that belongs to me, while you simply just appeared. Could it be that grandma was deceived, and you are really Xia Ruoyin¡¯s grandson¡­" When Mo Wuji heard the second half of Mo Qingche¡¯s statement, he felt a little guilty. He really had Cen Shuyin, but as he listened to her last couple of sentences, everything began to fall apart, and he asked with an ugly look on his face, "You said that people from the Xia family came looking for you?" "You¡¯re not Xia Ruoyin¡¯s grandson? If you are, then take it that I never said anything at all and please leave." Mo Qingche said without hesitation. In response, Mo Wuji calmly refuted, "I have nothing to do with Xia Ruoyin. Even if there is, it¡¯s only hate towards her." This statement made Mo Qingche stare at Mo Wuji for a good period of time, and after ascertaining that he was not lying, she nodded her head, "I believe you, a member of the Xia family would not be as down and out . Xia Ruoyin killed our grandpa, Mo Wuji, so she¡¯s naturally our common enemy." He didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, and without any prompting from him, she carried on, "Back then, my grandma¡¯s family was poor, and grandpa loved to do research. However, medical research is an expensive venture. After entering university, Xia Ruoyin was interested in grandpa¡¯s talent and hence provided all sorts of equipment, laboratories, and materials for his research¡­ Grandma¡¯s heart was always with grandpa, but all she could do was to help him with some errands. Grandma never stopped grandpa from getting together with Xia Ruoyin even though she knew Xia Ruoyin¡¯s true intentions as she knew that Xia Ruoyin could help grandpa in ways she could not, until one day¡­" When Mo Qingche reached this point, her eyes turned red and she paused for a moment. By then, emotions were swirling inside Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. He recalled that he had told Wen Xiaoqi that the labs and research materials were provided by a research institute specialising in medical research. This was because he had given the patents for a few of the medicines he had created to that institute, and also signed some contracts with them. So how did this have anything to do with Xia Ruoyin¡¯s family? The Xia family was at most a middleman. Soothing her emotions, Mo Qingche continued with her story, "Until one day, a woman from Jin Nan University went to my grandma and kneeled in front of her while confessing that she already had someone that she loved, so she begged grandma to secretly tell grandpa to let her go..." "What was the meaning of that?" Mo Wuji had a bad feeling about this. Mo Qingche explained, "That woman said that Xia Ruoyin requested for her to sleep with grandpa for a night at Jing Shang Hotel¡­" Now Mo Wuji completely understood everything. It was indeed Xia Ruoyin who played some tricks to get him drunk, even using some drug. Obviously, she did not intend to lose her virginity to him. Moreover, after drugging him, she used another woman to replace her while he was in a groggy state. However, this woman that Xia Ruoyin found as a substitute did not dare to plead with the powerful Xia family, nor did she dare to plead with him, and only went to Wen Xiaoqi. After all, he had been immersed in his research in Jin Nan University, and other than Xiao Ruoyin, the other person that was close to him was Wen Xiaoqi. This was a devious woman indeed. No wonder Xia Ruoyin always avoided this topic, and wanted their second time to only be on their wedding night. If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t sure why Xia Ruoyin killed him before, now he definitely understood her intentions. He had concocted such a drug, so it wasn¡¯t unusual for this sort of woman to kill him. "My grandma was very kind hearted, and on top of that she also loved my grandpa from the bottom of her heart. Hence she hid inside the room, and took the place of that woman after Xia Ruoyin left. How silly was she¡­" Mo Qingche sighed after saying her piece. Inside she really felt that her grandma was stupid to do such a thing. Chapter 844: My Name Is Mo Wuji Chapter 844: My Name Is Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Is your grandma still around?" The guilt in Mo Wuji¡¯s heart began to build up. He knew that if he did not fanatically pursue his research without a care in the world back then, he wouldn¡¯t have lost Wen Xiaoqi, and she wouldn¡¯t have lived a life of solitude and sorrow. At the same time, Mo Wuji was aware that without all of this, there wouldn¡¯t be him standing here today. Without the channel opening solution, he would just have been another begrudged soul even after reincarnating. There was nothing wrong with creating the channel opening solution, but it wasn¡¯t right for him to have been an ostrich and not think about Wen Xiaoqi. Mo Qingche shook her head, "My grandma has long passed. Grandma and grandpa once studied at Chang Luo First Middle School, and after grandma died, I came here to be a teacher." "So where is your grandma buried at now? What about your parents?" Mo Wuji probed further. To this, Mo Qingche replied, "My father failed at being an entrepreneur and incurred heavy debts. In the end, he wanted to try his luck at the casino, but he simply lost even more. My mother then died of depression. Soon after, as my father had owed too much to the casino, they chopped off both his hands, and he died in a hospital bed. My grandma had always lived in Jing Yang. Once she caught wind of this, she secretly brought me away. Otherwise, based on the brutal nature of that casino, I probably wouldn¡¯t have gotten off easy either. After grandma passed away, I followed her wishes and buried her at Jingshou Mountain, together with grandpa. Who knew that grandpa¡¯s tombstone was made of pure jade, and when other people found out about that, the area became a digging ground. Hence I quickly relocated both grandpa and grandma¡¯s remains to a small village in Chang Luo City. What made me puzzled was that grandpa didn¡¯t even have any remains. The inside of his coffin was empty. I only dared to come back to grandma¡¯s alma mater to teach only because Planet Diyuan found out about the casino, and it spent almost all of its resources to deal with them." This story stunned Mo Wuji. Never did he imagine that his descendants would have such a tough life. "Where are your father¡¯s remains?" Mo Wuji sighed to himself. "My father¡¯s and mother¡¯s ashes were scattered into the ocean. This was my father¡¯s last wishes." "Bring me to see your grandma." Mo Wuji felt a profound feeling of sadness. He couldn¡¯t even suppress this sadness. The rate of healing of his sea of consciousness started to slow down too. After Mo Qingche finished speaking, she grabbed a shovel by the door, opened the door, took away the mat, and began digging at the door. The concrete was quickly broken apart by her, and she dug up a box from inside, before filling up the hole with concrete again. These actions left Mo Wuji speechless. This Mo Qingche actually tried the best she could to hide something outside of the house. The box was opened up by Mo Qingche, and she took out a plastic bag. There were a few layers of plastic, which revealed a few pieces of yellowish paper filled with words after being opened up. On top of that, there was a well preserved diary. "This was left behind by grandma. The diary is grandma¡¯s too. You¡¯re a man of the Mo family, so I¡¯ll pass it all to you." Mo Qingche handed over the pieces of paper and diary to Mo Wuji. As he received the items, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t open up the diary, instead, his gaze fell on the few yellowish papers and understood what was going on. The contents of these papers were the incomplete formula that he used as reference while doing research into the channel opening solution. He had obtained that incomplete formula by chance, but now that he saw it again, how could he not realise that this was given to him by Wen Xiaoqi by some means? This was just a copy, while the original had already been destroyed by him. "This formula is very valuable. I heard that grandpa was killed by Xia Ruoyin over this. Leave once you take it, and if there¡¯s a chance in the future, you can produce the thing listed inside this formula. Perhaps the Mo family will have a chance to prosper from it." Mo Qingche spoke extremely seriously. Grabbing the formula and diary in is hands, Mo Wuji sent them into his storage ring. "Where have you hidden those items?" Mo Qingche stared at Mo Wujji with a surprised expression. She suspected that Mo Wuji was performing some sort of magic, making something disappear into thin air. However, he did not answer her question, instead replying with one of his own, "You mentioned that it was the Xia family that wanted this formula. What are you going to do when they come looking for you again since you have already given it to me?" Mo Qingche shook her head again, "There¡¯s nothing I can do. I¡¯ll just leave straight away. We cannot leave together, you¡¯ll go your way, I¡¯ll go mine. I gave you the items, and even though we have the same grandpa, I¡¯m very poor now, so I can¡¯t help you out financially." "You think the Xia family will let you go? I suspect that right outside the area, there¡¯s a lackey of the Xia family monitoring you." Mo Wuji did not suspect this, and neither did he have to extend his spiritual will out to check, he just knew. "Unless it¡¯s something big, there¡¯s nothing that I, Mo Qingche, have not seen before. What is there to be afraid of? If you¡¯re afraid then please leave first." Mo Qingche replied uncaringly. "Pack up everything you need and leave with me, then bring me to take a look at your grandma¡¯s final resting place." Mo Wuji sighed. Surprisingly, she didn¡¯t object to this, very willingly responding, "Ok. That¡¯s right, till now I still don¡¯t know your name. I can¡¯t just keep calling you ¡®cousin¡¯ right." Mo Wuji stared at Mo Qingche, and Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s figure seemed to appear before his eyes. Memories of their time together in Chang Luo flashed through his mind. "Hey, I¡¯m asking you a question. What are you staring at me for?" Mo Qingche was very unhappy at his unresponsiveness. "My name is Mo Wuji." Just as she had lifted up her cup of water and was about to take a sip, she spat out all of the water in her mouth after hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s reply. But this water did not hit him and just fell to the ground. "You said that your name is Mo Wuji. You have the same name as grandpa¡­" Mo Qingche didn¡¯t dare to continue this line of thought. No matter how unfilial, he shouldn¡¯t dare to take the same name as their grandpa. Unless this person was her grandpa, but this was simply not possible. With a look of complete seriousness, Mo Wuji nodded his head, "I am indeed Mo Wuji. Just as you must have guessed, I can be considered to be your grandpa." "You¡¯re a lackey of the Xia family? Have you come to swindle me of my stuff?" Mo Qingche accused Mo Wuji loudly. With a sigh, Mo Wuji refuted her, "This might sound a rather impossible, but it¡¯s really happening, listen to my explaination¡­" ¡­ On a mountainside of Jing Shou Mountain, four men in black clothes stopped Tan Zhenman. Tan Zhenman had come here t look for Mo Wuji, but she never expected that four black clothed men would block her way. "What are you guys doing?" After the initial fright, she calmed herself down. After all, she had taken lessons from Mo Wuji, that mysterious expert, so how could she be afraid of a few ordinary black clothed men? "Nothing much, we just need you to cooperate with us and follow us to meet our boss." One of the four sniggered. Tan Zhenman¡¯s face darkened, "I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t have the time. Get out of my way." "That¡¯s not up to you to decide." All four of the men charged at her simultaneously. Inside, she began to panic, forgetting that she could use her lightness skill to easily weave through these four men. At this point, she drew out a dagger without hesitation and slashed out. "Sss...Sss...Sss...Sss¡­" Four spurts of blood splashed out. Before any of the four men could get close to Tan Zhenman, they were killed by this blade. Each of them had a slash mark on their necks, the precision of which made her doubt her eyes. Fearful, Tan Zhenman took a few steps back. She looked down at the dagger in her hand. When she took action just now, she could clearly sense the location of the men¡¯s necks and she direct slashed in those directions. "How strong." She mumbled to herself, repressing the discomfort in her heart. She didn¡¯t mean that she was strong, but that Mo Wuji was indeed very strong. Just with an hour¡¯s guidance, and a month of self-training, she had come to possess such impressive techniques. So how powerful would Mo Wuji himself be? Tan Zhenman looked at the four men that she had just killed, then swept her gaze through the surrounding Jingshou Mountain. At this moment she knew that she had lost a great opportunity that day. It was already very lucky of her to have met an expert like Mo Wuji, so how could she meet one like him a second time? There was also the issue of these four men. Without any investigation, she knew that these were men of the Xia family. Usually, she was not one that bore grudges, and the only time she stood out was during the Three Star Exam. Only the Xia family could find out her exam results this quickly, and only the Xia family would come to capture her after finding that out. Now that she had killed members of the Xia family, other than passing the exam of the Space Navigation Federation and leaving for Planet Diyuan, there was not other option left. As she thought of this, Tan Zhenman kept her dagger, and decided to return to Qi Shu City. Chapter 845: Xia Family’s Power Chapter 845: Xia Family¡¯s Power Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Mo Wuji finished speaking, Mo Qingche stared at him out of disbelief, only responding a good while later, "Are you an idiot or do you take me for an idiot? Why don¡¯t you say that you can fly instead¡­" In the middle of her sentence, Mo Qingche suddenly stopped. She discovered that Mo Wuji gradually went higher, and she exclaimed when she looked down, "You really can fly¡­" At this point, Mo Wuji landed, and spoke in a serious tone, "That¡¯s right, everything I¡¯ve said is true." Then, he grabbed out with his hand, creating a black-hole-like crack in midair. Once Mo Qingche¡¯s gaze fell on the black hole, a dizzy feeling began to overwhelm her. She felt as though the black hole crack let to an endless world. The space surrounding them shuddered, and she found herself floating as if she was in a giant ocean. Thankfully, the black hole soon reverted back to its original state, which made her heave a sigh of relief. Without any prompting, Mo Wuji explained, "This is the void that I tore open. Don¡¯t think that this black hole is just right in front of you. Once you go in, it¡¯s like entering a vast space that¡¯s who knows how many hundreds of million of light years away from Earth. In the void, a random blade of wind can turn you into nothing." "You¡¯re really my grandpa. You must teach me, is this immortal cultivation?" Mo Qingche became very agitated. Finally, she believed Mo Wuji¡¯s words, and grabbed onto his arm tightly. If there weren¡¯t Planet Diyuan, perhaps she might not have believed him. But since Planet Diyuan had been discovered, and it was rumored that the beasts on Planet Diyuan were powerful beyond measure, so how could what Mo Wuji said not be possible? Patting Mo Qingche¡¯s hand down, Mo Wuji said, "You really aren¡¯t anything like your grandma." "It¡¯s enough for me to be like you. Teach me. I¡¯ll bring you to where grandma is¡­" Mo Qingche became a little incoherent. "Let¡¯s go." Mo Wuji nodded his head. He originally didn¡¯t plan on leaving Mo Qingche alone on Earth since he wouldn¡¯t be returning after he left. Once she heard his instructions, she quickly tidied up her clothes, "Let¡¯s go, erm¡­ Forget it, I¡¯ll just call you grandpa." A short while later, Mo Qingche had calmed down and held her hand to her forehead. Calling a man that looking younger than her ¡®grandpa¡¯ really didn¡¯t sit well with her. However, she also felt that Mo Wuji was speaking the truth, and she also had some innate feeling that he was indeed her grandpa. "Someone¡¯s here." Once Mo Wuji¡¯s completed his sentence, a knocking sound came from the door. This made Mo Qingche rather puzzled as very few people came knocking on her door since she moved in. Before she went to open the door, the knocking sound grew louder. In a swift motion, she opened up the door, and a man and woman appeared before her. "You¡¯re Mo Qingche? Mo Si¡¯s daughter?" The woman asked upon seeing Mo Qingche. Deep inside, Mo Qingche felt uneasy, but she still nodded, "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m her." The woman carried on with a snort, "Mo Qingche, do you know that your father owes our casino a large sum of money?" These words cause Mo Qingche¡¯s heart to sink. She didn¡¯t know why these people would come to chase their debt at this time, hence replying in an impatient manner, "I know, but do I look like someone that can return that money to you guys? If I had the money, I wouldn¡¯t be living in this house." However, the woman calmly retorted, "If you don¡¯t have money, you can use other items as collateral. As long as it¡¯s something left behind by your family." In an instant, Mo Qingche knew what was going on, and replied with a cold face, "You¡¯re also here for the formula?" Obviously, the objective of the Xia family was found out by the casino, and they wanted to intercept the formula before she handed it over to the Xias. "If you have the formula, we can use that as collateral. If you don¡¯t, you¡¯ll have to come with us." The woman remained expressionless. "Let¡¯s go, the formula is with me. Bring me to the casino, I¡¯ll personally hand it over to your boss." Mo Wuji stopped Mo Qingche, who was about to continue speaking. If it weren¡¯t for his still-damaged sea of consciousness, his spiritual will would have swept outwards long ago. Before his sea of consciousness healed fully, he didn¡¯t want to use any spiritual will from it. The spiritual will in his spirit storage channel was also meant for repairing his sea of consciousness, hence he wouldn¡¯t use it for a few ants either. Even if the casino didn¡¯t come here today, Mo Wuji would have gone searching for them once his sea of consciousness had healed. Out of 10 rounds of gambling, 9 probably had cheating involved. He knew that Mo Si was very likely cheated by the casino even without visiting it. If it were just swindling Mo Si¡¯s money, then that would just be it. But they actually chopped off Mo Si¡¯s two hands. He would be a rather useless Immortal Emperor if he couldn¡¯t at least collect on this debt. "You want to go to the casino?" The woman sized Mo Wuji up with a shocked expression on her face. When she realised that he had some resemblance to Mo Qingche, she knew what his intentions were. "Lead the way." Mo Wuji said impatiently. "Ok." Without any further delays, the woman turned around and started walking. At this point, Mo Qingche kept quiet. If this was before she knew that Mo Wuji was an immortal cultivator, she would have tried her best to hide or escape with him. But now that he had revealed that he was an immortal cultivator, in her mind no amount of lackeys could match up against him. ¡­ On a summit in the South Pole. A flying ship stopped, opening its doors, and out stepped a man with numerous scars on his face. This man was a good 1.9m tall, well built, and exuded a bloody aura from his entire body. Behind him, there was another middle sized fat man. Over 10 people of various skin colours gathered over almost immediately, all greeting at the same time, "Instructor Xi Li, Star Enforcer Kan Er." The man with the scar on his face was Planet Diyuan¡¯s number 1 expert, Xi Li, and was also the overall instructor for the entire planet. The fat man was the Space Navigation Federation¡¯s number 2 in charge, Kan Er, who was only Second Star Enforcer, only second to the First Star Enforcer, Yu Yiwei. Although Xi Li¡¯s rank wasn¡¯t as high as Kan Er¡¯s, but his influence in the Space Navigation Federation greatly exceeded Kan Er¡¯s, possibly being even on par with Yu Yiwei. Xi Li wore a serious expression, and he asked after nodding, "Why don¡¯t I see Ka Sanuo?" "Head Enforcer Ka Sanuo went to Hua Xia¡¯s Qi Shu City. I heard that a student that achieved full marks for the Three Star Exam appeared there." Replied Federation Committee Member Woolf. Upon hearing this, Xi Li slightly frowned. To him, there were quite a few students that achieved full marks on the exams every year, and all it took was hard work to achieve this, so why did Ka Sanuo have to make a trip in person? One look at Xi Li¡¯s face was all it took for Woolf to know what he was thinking about, hence Woolf quickly explained, "It wasn¡¯t full marks for the written component, but for the practical component. She received full marks for every single aspect of the practical component¡­" "What? There¡¯s such a student?" Xi Li exclaimed, and a his eyes gleaned. His objective for returning here this time was to oversee student admissions, and in reality he also knew that it was almost impossible to recruit extremely talented students. Without these geniuses at Planet Diyuan, they might just have to retreat back to Earth in the end. "Yes, not only did she achieve full marks for all aspects of the physical component, she completed the whole thing in less than two hours." Woolf added on. "Quick, bring me to Qi Shu City now. Immediately." Xi Li didn¡¯t even think about resting inside the house and gave these orders in an instant. The situation on Planet Diyuan was worsening by the day, and his potential was near maximised already, so leading the planet had begun to become out of his hands. Full marks for the Three Star Exam¡¯s physical component was something that even he couldn¡¯t do back in the day. Not only that, his score was also much too far off from full marks. ¡­ "Pui!" Tan Zhenman spat out a mouthful of blood as she stumbled into Qi Shu City¡¯s Observatory Plaza. She knew that this was her only way to live. After killing the four experts with a slash each, she didn¡¯t expect the Xia family to deal with her that quickly. But to her surprise, once she came out from Qi Shu¡¯s Ju Feng Airport, she was shot straight away. If weren¡¯t for the fact that the other party didn¡¯t intend to kill her, perhaps she would have already become a dead soul. She swiftly ran all the way till she reached the Observatory Plaza. However, as she had been running frantically since she was shot, by the time she reached this location, she had damaged her internal organs. The Space Navigation Federation¡¯s Three Star Exam venue in Qi Nan Prefecture was the Observatory Plaza, hence there was a small branch here. If the Space Navigation Federation couldn¡¯t help her, then she could only wait for death. "Tan Zhenman, are you going to shirk off the responsibility after killing men at a whim?" Before she could step into the Space Navigation Federation¡¯s exam hall, two men stopped her. "You¡¯re Tan Zhenman?" A man about two meters tall excitedly rushed forward. "You¡¯re Head Enforcer Ka Sanuo?" Since Tan Zhenman had been stopped by men from the Xia family, she had already lost all hope. However, at this moment she actually saw Ka Sanuo, someone who was definitely one of the top five members of the Space Navigation Federation. She had seen him on television more than once too. Ka Sanuo answered, :That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Ka Sanuo...What¡¯s wrong with you? You¡¯re injured?" After he had arrived here, Ka Sanuo did not manage to find Tan Zhenman, which made him very frantic. Who knew that she would come knocking on his door of her own accord. When the excitement faded away, he then realised that her waist was covered in bloodstains. One of the men that blocked Tan Zhenman stepped forward, stretched his hand out to Ka Sanuo while speaking, "Head Enforcer Ka Sanuo, Tan Zhenman just killed four men. We were about to take her away." Now Ka Sanuo finally understood where the injury on Tan Zhenman came from. Hence he loudly commanded, "Tan Zhenman is a three star genius of the Space Navigation Federation. I don¡¯t care who you are. You don¡¯t have the authority to take her away." He was so angry to the point that he did not bother extending his own hand to shake the man¡¯s hand. These men shot a student who achieved full marks for the Three Star Exam, which was simply too bold a move. "Oh really?" The man that was about to bring Tan Zhenman away coldly chuckled. "I¡¯m from the Xia Family Federation. Head Enforcer Ka Sanuo, do you mean that men of the Xia family can be killed at one¡¯s whim?" This stunned Ka Sanuo. If there was someone or something that the Space Navigation Federation feared, it would naturally be the Xia family. The Xia family controlled the body tempering fluid, which was what the Space Navigation Federation urgently required. Because of it, the Xia family would earn disgusting amounts of money from the federation. Chapter 846: Scary Experts Chapter 846: Scary Experts Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Take her away." Seeing that Ka Sanuo was stunned, the man that claimed to be from the Xia family laughed coldly while another went forward to grab Tan Zhenman. "Splat!¡¯ A bright light flashed, and after that a spurt of blood exploded. The man that reached out towards Tan Zhenman fell onto the ground with his eyes opened up wide. There was a bloody hole through his throat, and a three inch long blade lay on the floor behind him. That blade actually pierced through his throat completely. A tall man with an extremely intimidating aura walked over, staring at the remaining man, "Even the Xia family cannot take a genius of the Space Navigation Federation away." "Head Instructor Xi Li." Ka Sanuo instantly exclaimed in joy when he saw the man that approached them. "Xi Li, even if you¡¯re the head instructor of the Space Navigation Federation, you can¡¯t kill men of the Xia family as you please." The remaining Xia family man declared loudly. However, Xi Li didn¡¯t bother with this guy, instead looking at Tan Zhenman warmly, "You¡¯re not bad. Don¡¯t worry, no matter how daring the Xia family is, they can¡¯t take away someone of the Space Navigation Federation. Head Enforcer Ka Sanuo, immediately arrange for Tan Zhenman to receive treatment, then I¡¯ll bring her away from here." On the way to Qi Shu City, Xi Li had investigated everything thoroughly. Tan Zhenman had passed the Three Star Exam with full marks and the Xia family wanted to take her away, but she killed four of them. While escaping back to Qi Shu City, she was intercepted by men from the Xia family. ¡®My Xia family has always respected the Space Navigaition Federation and also Instructor Xi Li. However, we don¡¯t fear the Space Navigation Federation. Our Xia family¡¯s men aren¡¯t people that others can kill at a whim, not even for those from the Space Navigation Federation." A chilling voice echoed from behind. Following which, a yellow clothed man walked out. This man was about 1.85m tall, and had a slender face despite being a male, which made him appear rather weird. Behind this man, there were five muscular men in brown. "Xia Fengkuang?" Xi Li could ignore all members of the Xia family except for this man before him. Xia Fengkuang¡¯s name wasn¡¯t self-given, but established through fights on Planet Diyuan. Back in the day, this slender faced man killed an uncountable amount of beasts on Planet Diyuan. Once he entered his battle mode, he would execute extremely wild movements. Regardless whether it was man or beast that he faced, he wouldn¡¯t back off until the other party died. Although Xi Li didn¡¯t battle with him before, but he knew that this man was an expert. At this point, Xi Li was aware that there was a good gap in strength between the both of them, but he still couldn¡¯t kill Xia Fengkuang. There weren¡¯t many experts on Earth in the first place, hence the death of Xia Fengkuang would be a great loss to the cause. "You¡¯re not my match. Even if all of you attack at the same time, you still won¡¯t be my match." Xi Li calmly said. "Ha ha, I didn¡¯t fight you in the past not because I¡¯m afraid of you, but because the Space Navigation Federation is the cash cow of my Xia family. Today, let me see if you, Xi Li, are qualified to call yourself number 1¡­" Xia Fengkuang ordered as he dashed towards Xi Li, "Bring that woman that killed men of the Xia Family away. If anyone gets in the way, kill them without exception." "Roger!" The five brown clothed men following Xia Fengkuang leapt at Tan Zhenman. With a cold snort, Xi Li threw a punch at Xia Fengkuang, at the same he opened his other hand, shooting out six beams of light. "Pew pew pew!" Six streams of blood spurted out. Including the member of the Xia family that remained at the Observatory Plaza, six people fell to the ground, each of them penetrated in the throat by a blade. Tan Zhenman simply stood there staring at the six men, stunned and shivering. Whne the six men leapt towards her, she had reacted as well, but because of her injury, she couldn¡¯t even draw her dagger. On the other hand, Xi Li used six flying knives to kill six people with a wave of his hand. Obviously, he was much more capable than she was. At the same time, she realised how powerful cold steel was. If a gun was used, it would definitely not be able to kill the six of them at once. "Boom!" Xi Li¡¯s fist connected with Xia Fengkuang¡¯s, blowing Xia Fengkuang back, with him spitting out a mouthful of blood in midair. "You¡­" Xia Fengkuang sat on the ground, staring at Xi Li in chock. He was sure that Xi Li¡¯s strength had more than doubled since he had left Planet Diyuan. In the old days, Xi Li was not this strong for sure, so his Xia family¡¯s intel had some error. "I won¡¯t kill you. Please leave. Tell Mr Xia You, the Space Navigation Federation and Xia family will still have a cooperative relationship." Xi Li calmly told Xia Fengkuang as he stared at the man lying on the ground. However, Xia Fengkuang did not respond to his words, directly pilling out a circular token two inches in radius and throwing it out. A bright light shot into the sky, and even though it was daytime, the light still blew open the fog in the air, shining brightly for all to see. Seeing the firework that shot upwards, Xi Li frowned as he said, "Xia Fengkuang, no matter how many men from the Xia family you call over, it¡¯s useless. If the Xia family dares to use explosive weapons in Qi Shu city, don¡¯t blame the federation for being unpleasant." Xia Fengkuang only stared at Xi Li, not speaking a single word. "Is that it?" A voice suddenly rang out. Following which, Xi Li noticed that another person had suddenly appeared. This seemed to be an extremely young man. "Who are you?" Xi Li trembled in his heart. After years of battle with the wild beasts at Planet Diyuan, he could clearly sense that this man was much more dangerous than most of those beasts. Although the other party did not make any moves yet, that sort of oppressive aura made it difficult for him to catch his breath. He, Xi Li, was the number one expert after all, and he also had some special opportunities on Planet Diyuan, but this person could still suppress him with such ease? The strong will hardened through long periods of battle with wild beasts gave Xi Li the mental fortitude to let out a roar, step forward, and throw out a punch. "Since you¡¯re confident in your fist, let me give you one too." The man threw a punch while speaking. "Crack!" Xi Li could clearly hear the bones in his fist shattering, and just like Xia Fengkuang moments ago, he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Who are you? Why are you so strong?" Xi Li¡¯s eyes were filled with shock as he fell butt first onto the ground. "Xia Zhi." The young man casually said, at the same time gradually approaching Xi Li. When she saw this, Tan Zhenman rushed forward to help Xi Li up, frantically pleading with the young man, "You can¡¯t kill Instructor Xi Li." "Ha ha." Xia Zhi chuckled, "If I, Xia Zhi, want to kill anyone, no one can stop me. Initially, I thought that I would just be passing through Qi Shu City. Who knew I would have to really join the fight." Tan Zhenman desperately pleaded once more, "If you don¡¯t kill Instructor Xi Li, I¡¯ll tell you guys my secret." She was very aware that the reason the Xia family wanted to take her away was for the secret she had. This made Xia Zhi stop in his tracks, coldly staring at Tan Zhenman, "Speak." The icy stare made her feel a sort of coldness that would determine whether she lived or died, just as if a poisonous snake was staring at her. She forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart and explained, "An expert not from out world taught me some techniques. He told me to wait for him here at the beginning of next month and he would continue instructing me then¡­" "Very good, I¡¯ll come at the start of next month. If you two dare to leave Observatory Plaza by a single step, I will wipe out everyone in the Space Navigation Federation and all members of the Tan family. Of course, you guys will die as well." Xia Zhi coldly spoke. As he spoke, he suddenly threw out two silver needles which were as thin as a cow¡¯s hair, and they buried themselves in Tan Zhenman;s and Xi Li¡¯s chests. Following which, Xia Zhi waved his hand, and a formless blade slashed across Kan Er¡¯s neck. Even when Kan Er fell to the ground, he didn¡¯t know how he had died. After finishing these last few acts, Xia Zhi turned and left. Although in the recent years, the climate and environment had become worse, and most people wanted to leave Earth, law and order was still rather intact. Many people had died on Observatory Plaza, but the surrounding crowds had been dispersed long ago, and the entire area cordoned off. All participants for the Three Star Exam were sent away too, leaving only personnel from the Space Navigation Federation, Ka Sanuo, Xi Li, and Tan Zhenman on the plaza. "There¡¯s no use, I know that you were trying to delay it by days, but Xia Zhi has already progressed to a stage that¡¯s frightening beyond my imagination. Even some of the most vicious beasts on Planet Diyuan are not as impressive as he is." After the plaza quietened down again, Xi Li spat out a mixture of saliva and blood while slowly speaking. "No, The expert i know is stronger than Xia Zhi." Tan Zhenman quickly explained. Upon hearing this, Xi Li was stunned. Since when did this many experts appear on Earth? Only some time later did he ask, "Are you sure that guy is stronger than Xia Zhi? Do you know how Xia Zhi killed Kan Er just now? That was the inner qi blade of legends. I always thought that these things never existed, but it seems like I was wrong." This time Tan Zhenman became a little more doubtful, as she replied hesitantly, "The person that taught me shouldn¡¯t be weaker than him¡­" Xi Li simply sighed, "If an expert like Xia Zhi went to Planet DIyuan, I would definitely give up the position of head instructor to him. I don¡¯t understand why he still wants to remain on earth. Sigh." The few of them remained silent, but after awhile, Xi Li carried on, "Ask that expert to stay away. He¡¯s definitely not Xia Zhi¡¯s match. If I hadn¡¯t seen Xia Zhi yet, and I heard that someone could produce a student like you, I would have personally gone to invite your master over. But if he came over now, it would just be another life lost." Tan Zhenman shook her head, "He won¡¯t come. I just wanted to delay Xia Zhi before going to look for him." When he heard these words, Xi Li was speechless. There was actually someone with such naive thinking in this world. ¡­ "We¡¯re here, the two of you can get out and follow me inside." The woman at the front seat of the car said to Mo Wuji and Mo Qingche who were seated behind. "Grandpa, this is Xi Guan Casino, Calm Sea District¡¯s largest casino, and also one of the 10 largest casinos in the world." Mo Qingche softly explained to Mo Wuji. After a few hours of close interaction, she could call him ¡®grandpa¡¯ without any awkwardness. Mo Wuji nodded his head. In front of them were two grand skyscrapers. The plaza of the skyscrapers had over 10 security guards patrolling, and in between the buildings, four gigantic words were erected: Xi Guan Organisation. Ignoring the lady, Mo Wuji directly walked to the building on the right. His spirit storage channel had already scanned through the entire building, giving him a clear view of all the different entertainment venues, gambling halls, and the meeting that was going on in the top floor of the right building. Chapter 847: Another Step Forward Chapter 847: Another Step Forward Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As he walked into the grand skyscraper, Mo Wuji exclaimed to himself. If it were at Cosmos Edge or Immortal World, he wouldn¡¯t have even set foot into the building. Instead, he would have used his immortal elemental energy to crush both of them to bits. However, he couldn¡¯t do that here. This was Earth, where he was born; his home planet. There were many innocent people inside the skyscraper, and since the beginning of his cultivation, he had understood something very important about his dao. He could be so brutal and unfeeling before because he had a conviction and a baseline. His dao became increasingly complete over time also because he had no regrets and followed his principles. Thus, he did not grind the buildings to dust, not even killing those who killed Mo Si without distinguishing between right or wrong, instead coming here to get an answer from them. A formless gate seemed to open, and at this moment, Mo Wuji felt as though as his sea of consciousness was extremely cooling. The sea of consciousness, that initially had an unknown time till being completely healed, had suddenly totally recovered in an instant without any warning. "Crack!" The bottleneck for Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level seemed to break open as well, and a new world appeared before him: the healed sea of consciousness expanded by multiple times and extended outwards. On top of that, his spiritual will became more condensed, and the realm of his sea of consciousness became firmer. Streams of dao aura from the heavens and earth surrounded Mo Wuji, forming countless runes that vanished in his dao, causing him to become increasingly ordinary. Finally, intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Mo Wuji heart suddenly calmed down. He had become enlightened on many things. Sometimes one¡¯s cultivation level could also be advanced under circumstances other than having the presence of dense immortal spiritual energy and top grade laws. He had just crossed the boundary between elementary and intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage not with the laws of heaven and earth, but with a breakthrough in his own laws. This was his dao, his immortal mortal dao. Everything was built on his own world. Deep in his heart, an unexplainable desire surfaced, and even though it was very blurry, Mo Wuji knew that one day, this desire would become increasingly clear to him. When Mo Wuji stopped, Mo Qingche, who was walking behind him, stopped as well. Those two people that brought him over wanted to scold them, but sensed a sort of boundless aura. This sort of boundless and endless aura was something they could not understand, but it could make them feel how insignificant they were. Under this aura, they were ants. No, they weren¡¯t even considered as ants. Thankfully, this aura disappeared as quickly as it had come. Once they looked at mo Wuji again, they could sense that something about him had become more ordinary than before. Even a random passerby would attract one¡¯s attention more than him. "Grandpa¡­" Mo Qingche regained her senses and asked out of concern. Patting her head, Mo Wuji sighed, "Qingche, the path with me is destined to be a lonely one, much lonelier than you would expect¡­" "Grandpa, I¡¯m not afraid. I¡¯m already used to being lonely." Mo Qingche declared. But Mo Wuji shook his head, "You don¡¯t understand the level of loneliness I¡¯m talking about¡­ Before we leave, if you have any friends, say goodbye to them. There won¡¯t be any chance for us to return here in the future." "Please follow me upstairs." The woman that brought Mo Wuji over started to respect him a little more. ¡­ "Wait outside." When they reached the top floor of Xi Guan Building, the woman instructed Mo Wuji before going to knock on the door. In reality, it was because her boss was simply too interested in the item that Mo Qingche had, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t dare to interrupt him meeting at this time. "There¡¯s no need for that." Mo Wuji stepped forward. Without touching the woman, she subconsciously backed off. Before the woman could understand what was going on, Mo Wuji kicked down the doors to the meeting room. "Bang!" The door broke, and everyone in the meeting room jumped up from shock. "It¡¯s you?" The man at the head of the table recognised Mo Qingche who was standing behind Mo Wuji, and he immediately shouted, "You¡¯re really ballsy, barging in here. Security, chop this guy¡¯s legs off¡­" The order to search for Mo Qingche was given by him, but never did he imagine that she would bring someone who dared to kick down the meeting room at the top floor of the Xi Guan Casino. "Splat, splat!" The security guard didn¡¯t even have the time to come over as two flashes of blood spurted out. The man who was about to cut Mo Wuji¡¯s legs off had his own suddenly split open. He then fell only the large chair behind him. This reduced the entire meeting room to silence. All those present were naturally not ordinary men, and each of them had some level of training. However, none of them knew how Mo Wuji chopped off Fei Youqi¡¯s legs because neither Mo Wuji nor Mo Qingche made any moves since they entered. "Who are you? When did I, Fei Youqi, offend you?" Although both his legs had been cut off by Mo Wuji, Fei Youqi¡¯s hands still reached for his handgun. He still desired for the Mo family¡¯s formula, but he didn¡¯t make a move yet. "It looks like I won¡¯t be treating you unjustly. I only kicked down your door and you want to chop off my legs? The order to chop Mo Si¡¯s hands off here was given by you back then right?" Mo Wuji casually commented. "Mo Si?" The pale Fei Yousi repeated out of confusion. He seemed to remember who this ¡®Mo Si¡¯ was, but in the next moment he raised up his hand and fired multiple shots at Mo Wuji. Even though he shot many times, but only bullet flew out, while the rest seemed to be jammed in the gun, not able to exit the barrel. "There¡¯s no need to look at your handgun, I only allowed one bullet to be fired, otherwise you wouldn¡¯t have been able to shoot a single one out." Upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Fei Yousi looked up instinctively. To his surprise, the single bullet was floating right in front of Mo Wuji. The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. At that moment everyone knew that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t someone that they could afford to offend. "I don¡¯t know¡­" Right after saying those words, Fei Youqi felt as though as he couldn¡¯t control his mind any more as he spoke, "Mo Si¡¯s arms were chopped off by Hong Yi. He set up the trap to make Mo Si bet his house and¡­" "There¡¯s no need to explain any further, who is this Hong Yi?" Mo Wuji¡¯s tone turned cold. A bald man man over 50 quickly spoke up, "I am Hong Yi, Mo Si¡¯s arms were chopped off by me¡­" Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze swept across the remaining men, and he clearly saw that every single one of them had some evil energy from unjust souls lingering in the aura. All those were were able to enter this meeting room indeed had stained their hands quite a bit. Sighing, Mo Wuji said, "Let¡¯s leave it at that. Qingche, we¡¯re leaving." After finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji turned and left, leaving Mo Qingche puzzled as to why her grandpa would let these people off. But she didn¡¯t say anything as she already knew that this grandpa of hers wasn¡¯t that simple¡­ "Grandpa, this is not the elevator¡­" Seeing that Mo Wuji brought them to the end of the corridor, Mo Qingche quickly pointed out. "I know¡­" When Mo Qingche heard these two words, she shockingly discovered that she was already on the ground. As she turned around to look at the top floor, she felt that her grandpa was too kind. If she were so capable, things wouldn¡¯t have stopped with just cutting Fei Youqi¡¯s legs off. At the very least, that guy named Hong Yi would be crippled. "This person is very strong¡­" Only after Mo Wuji vanished did Fei Youqi say this while shivering. Hong Yi also wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had said this to himself unknowingly just now. Get out of here quickly. This was the only thought in everyone¡¯s mind. However, just when this thought popped into their head, the space around them started to twist and bend, and a crushing feeling overwhelmed them. "Grandpa, did we fly down?" Mo Qingche forgot how afraid she was and asked out of curiosity. "Not really, we only took a step down. You¡¯ll know how to do this very soon if you follow me." Mo Wuji smiled. With his current abilities, Mo Qingche¡¯s cultivation level would naturally increase by leaps and bounds if she cultivated with him. Clenching her fist tightly, Mo Qingche¡¯s heart beat wildly in her chest. She never thought that such extraordinary things would happen to her. A short moment later, she eased herself and asked, "Grandpa, why did you let Hong Yi off the hook? He¡¯s the person that killed my father¡­" While she spoke, Mo Qingche took another look at the meeting room on the top floor. Her jaw dropped when she saw that the top two floors of the building were in ruins and subsequently disappeared. Obviously, the two top floors had been turned to dust. The twin buildings that were originally of the same height now had the building on the right a good bit shorter that that on the left. If it weren¡¯t for the unsettled dust, she would have assumed that something was wrong with her eyes. Mo Wuji¡¯s voice rang out, "Qingche, the cultivation world is many times for brutal than the mortal world. You must remember not to be merciful towards your enemies. Being kind to them means being cruel to yourself. However, my dao has a baseline, and its own principles." If it were any other cultivator, such as Immortal Emperor Lun Cai, perhaps it wouldn¡¯t have just been the top floor of the building that was destroyed, but the entire planet. There were many things that Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t teach Mo Qingche and could only let her experience for herself. "Yes grandpa." Mo Qingche quickly replied. She witnessed the brutal side of Mo Wuji that easily reduced two floors of a skyscraper to dust. Obviously, no one in those two floors were alive. As Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will spread outwards, he easily saw that Tan Zhenman was seriously injuried by someone and also pinned by a Soul Fixing Needle. However, he didn¡¯t really care about this. Instead, his gaze fell on the back of a small village. There was a grave that had grass growing all over it. A gravestone with the words ¡®Grandma Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s grave, erected by unfilial granddaughter Mo Qingche.¡¯ was erected in front of it. "Grandpa, let me bring you to grandma¡¯s grave. The gravestone was carved by me¡­" Mo Qingche didn¡¯t continue speaking as she sensed that something was off with Mo Wuji. ... Chapter 848: The Unusual Quake Chapter 848: The Unusual Quake Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Following which, Mo Qingche felt a little dizzy, and the next moment she realised that she was standing in front of her grandma¡¯s grave. Her grandma¡¯s gravestone was hand-carved by her, but because she didn¡¯t know the format for gravestones, she carved two simple sentences based on her own format. "Grandpa, how did we¡­" A few words into her sentence, Mo Qingche stopped herself. Since her grandpa could bring her out of a building a few tens of storeys high, there was nothing unusual about bringing her to grandma¡¯s grave in an instant. She also didn¡¯t dare to probe further as the sadness in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes was very apparent. In this moment, she felt like her grandpa: just a simple, ordinary person, not an immortal. Previously, she thought that her grandpa was heartless as he abandoned grandma who was sincerely in love with him. Only after Mo Wuji explained the situation did she feel that her grandpa was very distant, like an illusion. But now she felt that her grandpa was very real, possibly even the most pitiful as her grandma knew part of the story and Xia Ruoyin knew another part of it, while this grandpa knew nothing at all. She felt that it was right for grandma to lie to grandpa in her own way. She also felt that it was right for Xia Ruoyin to lie to grandpa in her own way too. Upon seeing the grass and weeds growing all over grandma¡¯s grave, Mo Qingche was a little guilty. Because of her job, she only came back to visit grandma once every Qingming [1]. Mo Wuji stood in front of Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s grave for a good hour, completely motionless. Mo Qingche, on the other hand, didn¡¯t have the endurance of her grandpa, so she just sat at one side, waiting. When it was sunset, Mo Wuji finally let out a sigh, raising his hand to clear away all the grass around Wen Xiaoqi¡¯s grave. After which, he took out a pile of high grade immortal crystals and encircled the grave with them. Then, he planted a few immortal flowers too. Originally, he wanted to move the entire grave into his Undying World, but gave up on this idea. Although he was reincarnated, he didn¡¯t understand much about the process. Even after cultivating to Immortal Emperor, there were still some things beyond his reach. Wen Xiaoqi was a mortal who had never cultivated, so if he moved her remains into the Undying World, who knew if it would affect her reincarnation? Perhaps she would not remember anything about her past life after reincarnating, but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to affect her reincarnation process still. "Grandpa, I¡¯m afraid that others will dig up all these beautiful flowers that you¡¯ve planted here." Seeing Mo Wuji earnestly planting flowers on the grave, Mo Qingche commented at the side. "No one will touch anything here." Mo Wuji stood up and threw out tens of array flags. The surroundings gradually faded away. In the end, it appeared as though nothing was here. "Where¡¯s grandma¡¯s grave?" Mo Qingche was shocked. Staring at the vanished location for a good while, Mo Wuji then spoke, "I¡¯ve placed some protection over it. Even if the Earth no longer exists, no one will be able to disturb your grandma." He had set up an immortal array which wouldn¡¯t even be scratched if the planet exploded. Once this array received any attacks, no matter where he was, he would be able to sense it. Inside the array, he also left a small strand of his spiritual will behind. Mo Qingche heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to ask why her grandpa dumped grandma and chose that evil woman, Xia Ruoyin. However, she kept this question to herself. Even though Mo Wuji appeared younger than her, he was still her grandpa. "Grandpa, where are we going?" Mo Qingche could sense Mo Wuji¡¯s sadness, and took the initiative to ask. "To the Xia family. The Xia family earned quite a lot from the formula i developed. It¡¯s about time for me to take it back." Mo Wuji slowly walked down the hillside after speaking. Seeing that grandpa didn¡¯t use any immortal techniques to whisk her away, instead choosing to walk, Mo Qingche didn¡¯t to probe any further into this matter. ¡­ The Xia family was the most powerful family on Earth. There were no more than 10 families that could be considered family federations, and the Xia family was the first to be given this title. However, the Xia family didn¡¯t have many assets, other than a few super luxury hotels in various large cities, there was only a pharmaceutical organisation. This pharmaceutical organisation was based in Jing Yang City. Out of the 11 districts in Jing Yang City, the 11th district, Lian Mai District, was where this organisation resided. It was the only company in the district. The entire Lian Mai district included Xia family¡¯s pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, medicinal plant greenhouse, pharmaceutical research and development center, pharmaceutical purifying center¡­ On top of these, there were many villas of the Xia family. All of the workers in the manufacturing plant could live in a villa of their own. It was rather obvious how rich the Xia family were. ¡­ Mo Wuji brought Mo Qingche in front of a large sign board which was beside a eight lane wide road. The sign board had these words on it: Xia Family Organisation Pharmaceutical Center, no unauthorised personnel beyond this point. A few hundred meters away from this sign board, there was a large gate that had at least seven to eight men, possibly security personnel, standing around it. "Grandpa, this is Jing Yang City¡¯s Lian Mai District. No one can enter Lian Mai District unless you have an entry pass." Mo Qingche quickly explained as she saw that Mo Wuji had brought her outside of Lian Mai District. As Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already scanned the entire Earth, he knew very clearly that the Xia family only had this one pharmaceutical research and development center. Nodding his head, Mo Wuji replied, "Then let¡¯s not go in and just observe from here." Lian Mai District¡­ Meridian Refining District [2], a mere incomplete solution and they dared to call it meridian refining. Regardless whether it was complete, the formula was developed by him years ago, and he didn¡¯t intend to allow the Xia family to continue earning a fortune off it. ¡­ Even though the Lian Mai District only had one branch of the Xia family¡¯s business, the area wasn¡¯t that dead. Quite the opposite, due to the presence of too many employees, the whole district turned into a city within a city. Of course, the location with the greatest population density was still the Xia family¡¯s Body Tempering Fluid¡¯s manufacturing area, where factories were linked in an entire row. It was during working hours, hence every factory had many people streaming in and out, while also producing the loud rumbling of machinery. But just at this moment, everyone felt vibrations in the ground. "Earthquake!" A shrill voice rang out, and all personnel within the factories and various research centers starts heading for the outside. An earthquake was occurring indeed, causing all factories and research centers to shake violently, as though as they would collapse at any moment. However, though these factories shook more and more, they simply did not fall. This gave those escaping a chance to live. Facing imminent death, everyone frantically charged outside and headed towards open areas or fields. The Xia family¡¯s investment in Lian Mai District was indeed an insane amount. Even though there were countless factories, villas, and research centers, there were still many wide open fields and soccer pitches; one could even find top notch golf courses. After everyone escaped to these open areas, they realised that only the factories and research centers were shaking. Once they were out, the vibrations disappeared. They could clearly see that it wasn¡¯t an earthquake, but instead only those particular buildings were wobbling. When the initial panic wore off, a few of the researchers immediately thought of taking away their important research materials. Hence they hastily grabbed notebooks and a few folders, but to their surprise, once they picked up these items, their legs felt as though they were were a thousand kilos heavy. No longer could they take a single step forward. It seemed like energy returned to their body after throwing away the items in their hands. This sort of freaky scenario made them give up on the idea of touching anything in there and just run for their lives. "Grandpa, what¡¯s happening inside Lian Mai District? It seems like there¡¯s some commotion." Mo Qingche, who was standing outside, could sense that something was going on. "Nothing much, I¡¯m just taking back some things that belonged to your grandma and me." Mo Wuji explained. He couldn¡¯t just massacre everyone here. What he could do was to destroy all of the research in this area. "Did everyone get out? Why haven¡¯t any ambulances come after such a long while? The paramedics have not arrived either?" A bald man shouted after reaching the vast golf course. "Not a single building has fallen after shaking for so long, so everyone should have escaped right? But none of our calls are going through¡­" "Boom boom boom!" Just as these words left the man¡¯s mouth, the previously wobbling research center and manufacturing factories began to collapse. What stunned everyone was that they had never witnessed an earthquake like this, because only dust was produced from the collapse. There wasn¡¯t even a single complete brick, and no building pieces could be seen either¡­ The earthquake had turned all the buildings to dust? What earthquake was this? "Qingche, let¡¯s go, to the Xia family¡­" Mo Wuji knew that there were more people that he wanted to kill inside, but he wouldn¡¯t act today. As long as he lifted the connection restrictions on this area when he left, the Xia family would gather at once. ¡­ Xia You held the phone in his hand in disbelief, with buzzing sounds echoing in his head. He even wondered if he was dreaming? A freak earthquake in Lian Mai District had turned all research centers, manufacturing plants, and warehouses to dust while not a single person was injured. Was this some story out of a storybook? Regardless whether this was a story, Xia You knew that it was definitely not a simple earthquake. There had to be someone behind this, possibly using some terrifying explosives to blow up all the Xia family facilities. However¡­ Not a single person was injured. Was there such an explosive in the world? If there were, then this story would be much more of a fantasy story. "Xia Fengkuang, immediately bring some men to Lian Mai District and seal off the entire area¡­" Xia You commanded. "Uncle You, Fengkuang has already¡­" Xia Zhenni, who passed the phone to him, quietly commented. This woke Xia You up, and he calmly spoke, "Immediately inform Xia Ji to seal the Lian Mai District, then inform Xia Family Pharmaceutical¡¯s main members to meet in meeting room 1. Also, ask Xia Zhi to return at once, remember, at once¡­" "Roger!" Xia Zhenni quickly replied as she shuffled out of the room. [1] Qingming, also known as Tomb-sweeping Day, is a day that people go to pay their respects to their ancestors at cemeteries, graves, memorial halls, etc. [2] Meridian Refining¡¯s hanyupinyin/romanisation is also lian mai, albeit with different intonation. Chapter 849: I’m Here To Collect My Debt Chapter 849: I¡¯m Here To Collect My Debt Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Qingche, after I finished settling things with the Xia family, we''ll be leaving Earth. Are you sure there''s nothing you need to leave behind? You must know that cultivating dao also means cultivating destiny, cultivating life, cultivating enlightenment, cultivating everything you can feel. Happiness, Anger, Sadness, all forms of emotions are included. I don''t wish that you have some lingering thoughts about this place, which might make you lose the opportunity to go further in cultivation!" Standing outside the residential area of the Xia family, Mo Wuji stopped and spoke seriously to Mo Qingche. "I¡­" Mo Qingche really wanted to say that she did not have any connections left and it would be ok to leave Earth immediately. However, after listening to what Mo Wuji said, she couldn''t help but stop herself from saying just that. She had never cultivated the dao of the heavens and earth, but she knew that her grandpa would not deceive her. It could be that grandpa came back to resolve some issues that he never finished back in the day. "Grandpa, there are indeed some things, but¡­" Mo Qingche didn''t know how to bring this topic up. She originally had a boyfriend, named Wen Rong. However, due to issues with the Mo family''s solution formula, she chose to break up with her boyfriend. The reason that the solution''s formula was leak was this boyfriend of hers. There was one occasion when she said that the solution''s formula wouldn''t be any worse than the Xia family''s by a slip of her tongue. To her surprise, Wen Rong actually asked her to show him the formula. Her grandma had repeatedly instructed her that this was the only piece of inheritance of the Mo family and she could only reveal it to a male of the Mo family, so how could she show it to Wen Rong? Even if Wen Rong were married to her, she wouldn''t want to disregard her grandma''s wishes, much less if he was just her boyfriend. What made her infuriated was that Wen Rong actually passed this news on to the Xia family for some unknown benefits. This was the last straw. Without any hesitation, she broke up with him. "I know. Sit down." Mo Wuji gestured at Mo Qingche, refusing to allow her to explain any further, then casually setting up a defensive array. Once Mo Qingche was seated, he wrapped a bunch of Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow around her. At this point, his sea of consciousness had recovered, and his cultivation level had crossed into intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage, hence the process of helping Mo Qingche cleanse and open her consciousness was a relaxed one. With the help of the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow, in half an incense''s time, the entire process was completed. "I¡­" When Mo Qingche regained her senses, she realised that her mind was many times clearer than before. Many things that she couldn''t understand previously suddenly became obvious. What''s more, he entire body was extremely relaxed, giving her the illusion that she could fly at this moment if she wanted to. "Grandpa, have I become an immortal?" Mo Qingche excitedly asked. Shaking his head, Mo Wuji replied, "I''ve only helped you to pave the way for cultivation. You still have to rely on yourself for future cultivation." Of course, he didn''t treat her as he treated Tan Zhenman. As Tan Zhenman did not choose to become his disciple, he naturally would not have taken out the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow to enhance her aptitude and expand her spirit channels. Since Mo Qingche was sure that she wanted to follow him to cultivate, he could only help her build a good foundation. How much she achieved in the future would completely depend on her. Thus, Mo Wuji did not impart any techniques to her. After he finished with his piece, Mo Wuji passed a necklace over to Mo Qingche, "Wear this necklace on you, it will automatically recognise you as its owner. Ok, I''m going to settle some things with the Xia family so you should go to tie up your loose ends, sever your connections with people, then I''ll bring you away." "But how will I find you?" Mo Qingche asked. "There''s not need for that. I''ll know where you are." Mo Wuji replied with a smile. Sensing the changes in her body, Mo Qingche''s confidence was boosted greatly, and she quickly responded, "I''ll be going then. I''ll take at most two days to settle my things." "Wait." Mo Wuji took out a ring, gave it to her, then he poked her hand, causing a single drop of her blood to land on the ring. "This is a spatial ring. Your large bag can be stored inside. Only you will be able to use the ring, and all you have to do is use your willpower." He explained as he handed the ring over. "Ah¡­" This time, Mo Qingche was really stunned. ¡­ The Xia family was able to become the number one family not just because they had the Meridian Refining Solution. Once Xia You gave the order, many members of the family rushed back to meeting room one. Back in the day, the head of Xia Family, Xia Zhiding, once said that the Earth''s environmental condition was worsening by the day, so the Xia family had to have a sort of sensitivity to danger and definitely could not just hole up in the empire of their ancestors while enjoying themselves. The descendents of the Xia family achieved this indeed. The children of the Xia family that had the slightest bit of talent were basically all sent to Planet Diyuan. To others, going to Planet Diyuan was extremely difficult, but to the Xia family, it was as simple as making a phone call. When Xia You appeared in the meeting room, all of the core members of the Xia family had all arrived. "I believe everyone knows what has happened. All of the solution refining facilities in Lian Mai District were completely destroyed. This seems rather absurd, but it''s the truth. I didn''t want to believe it at first¡­" Xia You sat at the head of the room, and even though he tried to suppress his emotions, this anger still couldn''t be contained. "Regardless who it is, he can forget about living since he dared to lay his hands on the Xia family." Before Xia You could complete his sentence, an old man sitting beside Xia You angrily shouted out. This was Xia Zhidao, Xia Zhi''s uncle, and the younger brother of the previous family head, Xia Zhiding. "I suspect that the Space Navigation Federation is behind this. Only they have the resources and balls to do it. As for why, it''s probably because our Xia family severely injured Xi Li¡­" Another stepped forward to speak. Xia You frowned slightly, and before he continued speaking, a voice echoed from the outside, "It''s not the Space Navigation Federation, they don''t have the ability to do so. The Space Navigation Federation''s Xi Li was pinned by me on Qi Shu''s Observatory Plaza, hence he can''t move at all. Even if it were him, he wouldn''t be strong enough to break through the defensive array I set up." Following the appearance of this voice, a young, long haired man walked in. "Xia Zhi, you''re back." While Xia You was the family head, he dared not act rashly. Xia Zhi might have looked young, but in reality he was much older than Xia You. Not only did Family Head Xia You rise, everyone else, including Xia Zhidao, also stood up. There was already one person that took the initiative to moving a chair to the side of Xia You, and Xia Zhi went over to sit down on it. Only after Xia Zhi sat did the rest of them sit as well. "Xia Zhi, you know who did this?" Xia You asked carefully. With a snort, the young man replied in a low voice, "This man is not simple. I went check the scene of the incident out. This was probably the work of an extremely strong cultivator." This news made Xia You''s hands shake, knocking over the porcelain cup right beside him. Hot water splashed on his foot, but it seemed as though as he did not feel any pain. Cultivator. Other people might not be familiar with this term, but not Xia You. This was because the Xia family had two cultivators, one was Xia Zhi, and the other was Xia Ruoyin who had gone missing years ago. It was also Xia Ruoyin who brought back the formula for the Body Tempering Fluid too. Xia Zhi was the younger brother of the long vanished Xia Ruoyin, hence Xia You guessed that Xia Zhi''s cultivation technique was left behind by Xia Ruoyin. However, Xia Zhi did not mention anything about releasing the technique for the other members of the Xia family to cultivate with, and he didn''t say much about that either. "Then what will happen to out Xia family?" After listening to Xia Zhi''s words, Xia You''s chest was filled with rage. His rage would have some effectiveness against weaker member of the Xia family, but once it came to those stronger than the Xia family, he naturally was a little lost. "Family head, don''t worry. My elder sister was able to build the family up back then, and before I leave, I''ll naturally eliminate all threats to the family too. I''ve just broke through to a new level, so as long as this person is still on Earth, no matter where he''s hiding, I''ll be able to hunt him down." Xia Zhi mockingly spoke, revealing a great confidence behind his words. When Xia You heard this, he was immediately jolted up, and said without hesitation, "Then I''ll get the Space Navigation Federation to stop all flying objects from leaving Earth right now." He knew how impressive Xia Zhi was, while the elder sister of Xia Zhi was at a level that he didn''t even want to imagine. Hence, he did not bear any suspicion towards Xia Zhi''s words. "There''s no need for that, I didn''t hide myself." Another voice echoed out, following which, Mo Wuji waltzed into the Xia family''s meeting room. "Who are you?" Xia You stood up in shock. When the Xia family had a meeting, it would have been an exaggeration to say that the air from the outside couldn''t come in, but at the very least, no one would be able to enter. Xia Zhi could do so because he was one of the core members of the Xia family. Without waiting for Mo Wuji to carry one, Xia Zhidao asked shakily, "Could, could you be a descendent of Mo Wuji?" Based on their investigation, Mo Wuji did not have any descendants remaining after he was killed. Even the woman that spent the night with him had been murdered by Xia Ruoyin right after. But if that was so, who was this person before them that posed a striking resemblance to Mo Wuji? "You''re the one that destroyed our research center?" Xia Zhi also shot up from his seat. He could not sense how scary Mo Wuji was, as Mo Wuji didn''t seem any different from an ordinary person from where he stood. It seemed like he had overestimated Mo Wuji. "Yes, I destroyed it. I''m here to collect some debts. Destroying that area was only the first step. The second step is to come to the Xia family and kill some people." Mo Wuji coldly remarked. After finding out that the woman with him that night was Wen Xiaoqi and Xia Ruoyin was just using him all the while, Mo Wuji decided he wanted to use the lives of the Xia family to pay for the debt. Xia Zhi chuckled coldly, and tried to grab Mo Wuji while shouting, "Then I guess you''re going to lose your life¡­" But Xia Zhi was stopped mid sentence as he found out that his legs could no longer touch the ground and his outstretched arm could not move. The space around him seemed to have froze, fixing him on the stop. Chapter 850: Grudge Chapter 850: Grudge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Not bad, you were actually able to reach Spirit Building Stage on Earth. Your talent indeed warrants such pride." Mo Wuji casually commented. But he wasn''t just spouting nonsense. For Xia Zhi to be able to use a few decades to cultivate till Spirit Building Stage on a resource and spiritual energy deficient Earth, he must have been a genius amongst geniuses. Even in the cultivation world, he would be a core disciple of a sect. "You can actually sense my cultivation level?" Xia Zhi''s face was drained of colour. How frightening was it for him to see Mo Wuji as a mortal while Mo Wuji could detect his cultivation level. "How is Xia Ruoyin related to you?" Mo Wuji spoke with a completely cold tone, as he felt that this Xia Zhi had some connection to Xia Ruoyin. Xia Zhi replied solemnly, "Xia Ruoyin is my elder sister. Her cultivation level is more than a hundred times stronger than mine. If you dare to lay a hand on me, she will definitely kill you in revenge when she returns." "Oh, Xia Ruoyin has left Earth?" Mo Wuji frowned slightly. No matter how much Xia Ruoyin cultivated, she couldn''t have reached that high a level on Earth. Although Xia Ruoyin was much more talented that Xia Zhi, could she really leave Earth? Xia Zhi''s mindset of a cultivator kicked in and he finally cooled down. Taking in a deep breath, he spoke, "You still have a disciple in my hands. I''ve used a unique method to suppress her, if¡­" Without waiting for Xia Zhi to finish speaking, he drew out two needles as thin as a cow''s hair, "Are you talking about these two needles?" "You¡­" Xia Zhi couldn''t take it anymore, and cold sweat flowed down his back, soaking his clothes. The higher the level one cultivated to, the more one valued his own life. An expert like Xia Zhi that stood above all other men would have valued his life much more than an ordinary person. With a random grab of his hand, Mo Wuji could remove the needles from inside Tan Zhenman and Xi Li despite them being a few thousand kilometers away in Qi Shu City. This sort of ability was beyond what Xia Zhi could sense. "Tell me where Xia Ruoyin went, how she went there, and I''ll keep your corpse intact." Mo Wuji threatened. "You should be Mo Wuji right? You were considered friends with Xia Ruoyin of my Xia family, and we are also cultivators. Now you''re going to deal with mortals like us. Don''t you feel guilty?'' Xia Zhidao totally understood now. This person in front of him wasn''t Mo Wuji''s descendant, but Mo Wuji himself. Since a member of the Xia family could cultivate and maintain his appearance for decades, so why couldn''t Mo Wuji do the same? Back when Xia Ruoyin hadn''t started cultivating yet, she still had to steal the formula from Mo Wuji. "I don''t know, you can''t kill me¡­" Without the ability to move, Xia Zhi was covered with sweat. Bead after bead of sweat dripped down from his forehead. By this time, Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to continue with this bullsh*t, hence he drove his spiritual will directly into Xia Zhi''s consciousness. In a few breath''s time, he withdrew his spiritual will and had an ugly look on his face. Xia Zhi really did not know how Xia Ruoyin left Earth, but only knew that she did so. His cultivation technique was given by Xia Ruoyin. At the same time Xia Ruoyin had told him to focus on cultivating and she would come back to bring him away eventually. Without the patience to linger around here any longer, Mo Wuji opened his hand and drew a blood out of Xia Zhi''s forehead. This drop of blood was brought into mid air, after which rune after rune was inscripted into it. Following which, ripples invisible to the naked eye formed around it and they began to spread outwards, as though as someone had thrown a pebble into a calm pond. As the drop of blood was levitating in mid air, Mo Wuji didn''t ask any questions, turning and walking out of the meeting room of the Xia family. At the same time, the chains on the ten over men inside the Xia family''s underground prison broke off on their own, and all of the automatic doors in the prison opened as well. Only when Mo Wuji''s figure disappeared from sight did Xia You dare to heave a sigh of relief, "Uncle Zhidao, is this man really Mo Wuji?" Xia Zhidao''s face turned green as he let out a small breath, "That''s right, this man is Mo Wuji. Back then it was Ruoyin who killed him, but who knew that he didn''t die in the end¡­" "What?" When Xia Zhidao suddenly paused, Xia You probed further. Frowning, Xia Zhidao continued, "That''s not right. I''m sure that Mo Wuji was killed¡­" Back then, both he and Xia Zhiding were outside the laboratory, hence he could clearly recall that Xia Ruoyin''s father entered the lab after Xia Ruoyin stabbed Mo Wuji once, adding on tens of stabs onto Mo Wuji''s body. His head was nearly chopped off as a result. How could Mo Wuji not have died after being inflicted such a terrifying amount of damage? If Mo Wuji died, then who had just came in? Xia Zhi suddenly felt like his body was mobile again, and he declared, "I want to leave this place immediately, that Mo Wuji didn''t lay a hand on us this time, but we never know about the next time...|" He stopped abruptly mid-sentence. Fear and disbelief were reflected in his eyes, and moments later, his entire body blew up. Just as though as a tap had been opened, after Xia Zhi''s body blew up, Xia You''s and Xia Zhidao''s followed suit. In the Blood Culling divine technique that Mo Wuji used, all males of the Xia family would be killed by the divine technique once 15 year old or older. No matter where they were, as long as it was still on Earth, they wouldn''t be able to escape this. Everyone in the meeting room was of the highest echelons of the Xia family, hence in Mo Wuji''s eyes, they had to be part of the main branches of the Xia family. He never expected that there would be two men remaining. A bloody stench emanated from the meeting room, and these two men shakily stood up, looked at each other, before charging out without hesitation. Even if they were idiots, they would have known that they were not part of the Xia family in the first place, and precisely because of this, they were able to cling onto their lives. Even if they were members of the Xia family, after surviving this ordeal, they would no longer identify as one, much less if they weren''t a member at all. ¡­ Mo Wuji calmly walked out of Jing Yang City. His heart was much lighter than before. The thorn that had been pricking deep in his heart had finally disappeared completely. As for murdering all males 15 years old and above in the Xia family main branch, he didn''t feel guilty about it either. Xia Ruoyin killed him without telling him the reason, even when he was her lover. Thus, one could see how cruelly the Xia family treated others. Compared to other cultivators, he still had his own baseline. If it were any other, even the most docile of people, would probably massacre the entire Xia family. From this day on, the issue between him and Xia Ruoyin would totally end. At this point, Xia Ruoyin was no different from people like Lun Cai and Murong Xiangyu. After staring at Jingshou Mountain for a good while, Mo Wuji took a step out and vanished. He was ready to set up a defensive array and a elemental energy restoration array for Earth. With his current level of cultivation and Array Dao, he could even set up a defensive array for an entire star system, hence a grand array to purify the elemental energy of Earth was nothing much. Array flags were integrated one after another into the space around Earth, and a slight amount of immortal spiritual aura was added in as well. The foggy layer of dust haze that covered Earth''s surface was instantly sucked away, as if someone had used a large vacuum cleaner on the area. The destroyed ozone layer was also rapidly healed by Mo Wuji''s defensive array. The Earth that had not seen any sunlight for a long time finally had a few rays of light landing on certain areas. ¡­ Gua Cheng City, a medium city, the home of Xian Zhiyang. Zhiyang could be considered an ordinary person in Gua Cheng, because Xian Donghai of the Xian family had good business acumen, earned some money, and used it to set up a mould company. The rest of the Xian family were pulled into the mould company and each of them possessed a small percentage of the company''s shares. However, there were many internal arguments in the Xian family due to a very simple reason: Xian Donghai''s son, Xian Zhiyang, suddenly returned from school and began to invest in real estate. How could an average mould company earn that much money? No matter how cheap land was, after Xian Zhiyang had his go at it, his funding started to run out. "We don''t wish to continue arguing. Convert our shares into money and give it to us. Since you want to buy the entire Earth, we won''t care that much anymore." Xian Dongxi was Xian Donghai''s younger brother, and also the largest shareholder with 7% to his name. "It was Donghai that brought you guys into the mould company, and you''re still in the process of finding other jobs." Xian Donghai''s wife was enraged. These brothers and sisters were all thankless wretches, completely forgetting how Donghai treated them in the past. "How much money/" Xian Donghai was tired of scolding his son any more, and now he just wanted to find a way to raise the money for his relatives. "We have a combined 13% of shares, which adds up to 5.21 million. We don''t want that much from you, so just give us 5 million and we''ll be square." Xian Dongxi spoke again. Before Xian Donghai could reply, Xian Dongyang stood up, "Dad, I''ll go to borrow the money." After speaking his piece, Xian Dongyang called Tan Zhenman. He was just an acquaintance of Tan Zhenman, possibly even not acquainted with her at all. Back then, it was Mo Wuji that told him to invest in real estate, hence he wanted to ask if Tan Zhenman passed the Three Star Exam. If Tan Zhenman really did, then he must have judged Mo Wuji correctly. If that was the case, he intended to take a loan from her, as the Tan family was much wealthier than the Xian family. However, if Tan Zhenman did not pass the Three Star Exam, he could only try sell the land at a dirt cheap price, gather 5 million, and give it to these heartless relatives. ¡­ In the Observatory Plaza of Qi Shu City, Xi Li and Tan Zhenman stared at each other. They had been stuck here for days, and even their meals were bought by some workers from the outside. Just now, they felt that the thin needle which could kill them at any moment had disappeared, and they could sense that no matter how far they walked, it wouldn''t be a problem. On top of that, both of them had regained their strength. "What''s going on?" Tan Zhenman asked in disbelief. Xi Li had a little more experience, and while it was very unusual, he could feel that someone far away had taken these needles out from their brain. "Zhenman, someone should have helped to remove those needles from our bodies." Xi Li couldn''t believe what he was saying, but his senses shouldn''t have betrayed him. Chapter 851: True Freedom Chapter 851: True Freedom Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tan Zhenman stared at Xi Li for some time before speaking, "If what you said is true and someone helped us, it could only be the guy that taught me¡­" She didn¡¯t know how to address Mo Wuji. ¡®Elder brother¡¯ seemed inappropriate. ¡®Master¡¯ wasn¡¯t right either, as she had declined going under his wing, which probably was the greatest regret of her entire life. "It¡¯s your master?" Xi Li asked. But Tan Zhenman could only smile while shaking her head, "No. Even though he taught me some technique, I declined taking him as my master." "..." Now it was Xi Li¡¯s turn to stare at Tan Zhenman in disbelief. If such an expert took him as a disciple, he definitely wouldn¡¯t turn him down. He couldn¡¯t understand what Tan Zhenman was thinking back then. Seeing Xi Li¡¯s surprised expression, Tan Zhenman sighed, "Back then I only thought about going to Planet Diyuan. I didn¡¯t want to remain on Earth at all, but that man required me to stay on Earth as his disciple." "Ah?" Xi Li didn¡¯t comprehend the rationale behind this. The Earth¡¯s environment was already polluted to a frightening extent, even to the point that the Earth might start breaking down. So what was the use of staying on Earth? On top of that, he couldn¡¯t understand why Tan Zhenman was so adamant about going to Planet Diyuan till she gave up being that man¡¯s disciple. "Senior Xi Li, what should we do now?" Tan Zhenman might have been cleansed by Mo Wuji, but she still did not possess much battle experience, hence she did not know whether to stay or to leave. In a low voice, Xi Li responded, "We¡¯ll leave right away. If it was that man that saved us, then the Xia family¡¯s Xia Zhi would definitely have been killed by him. Otherwise, saving us would be pointless because Xia Zhi would murder us once we leave this place. If we leave the plaza and Xia Zhi does not appear, then we would know what had happened." "Ding Ling Ling!" Xi Li¡¯s mobile phone suddenly rang, which made him scramble for it. After picking up, he only heard a few sentences before hanging up with a look of shock on his face. "Senior Xi Li, what¡¯s the matter?" Tan Zhenman quickly asked. Taking in a deep breath, Xi Li explained with a rather weird expression, "Just now the Space Navigation Federation informed me that the Xia family¡¯s pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Jing Yang City¡¯s Lian Mai District were all destroyed, and not a single bit was left behind. On top of that, all males of age in the Xia family were killed¡­" Both of them stared at each other again. Even though Tan Zhenman was still in school, she knew very clearly how scary the Xia family was. Adding Xia Zhi to the mix, the Xia family was definitely the number 1 family on Earth. They were the most powerful and profitable. What kind of power would be required to destroy them in such a short period of time? "Zhenman, where was the elder that taught you those techniques from? Where does he live? Can I pay a visit to him?" Xi Li gazed at Tan Zhenman intently. If he could invite Mo Wuji to Planet Diyuan, then the migration of Earth would be more or less successful. The beasts on Planet Diyuan were definitely not a match for an expert of this calibre. Unfortunately, Tan Zhenman shook her head, "I only know that his name is Mo Wuji. That¡¯s right, he was brought to school by a schoolmate of mine¡­" Just as she spoke till this point, her mobile phone rang as well. She quickly picked up the call, and became emotional upon hearing Xian Zhiyang¡¯s voice on the other end of the line. "Zhiyang, where are you?" Tan Zhenman agitatedly asked. She couldn¡¯t find Mo Wuji, and only Xian Zhiyang could. As he heard Tan Zhenman¡¯s emotional voice through the phone, Xian Zhiyang was stunned for a few seconds, then he said, "I¡¯m at Gua Cheng City¡­" Since when did he become so close with Tan Zhenman? For her to directly call him ¡®Zhiyang¡¯? And with a tone that sounded like she was talking to an old friend which she had not seen for years? "I¡¯ll come over immediately. You won¡¯t be leaving right?" Tan Zhenman¡¯s voice was still quivering. This string of events made Xian Zhiyang stare at his phone, speechless. Was he the one trying to find her, or was it the other way around? Why did it seem like she really wanted to find him from the tone of the tone of her voice? Hence, he quickly followed up, "I¡¯m not leaving. Oh yes, Tan Zhenman, I have something I need you to help with¡­" "What? Just tell me, and I¡¯ll help you if I can." Tan Zhenman said unhesitantly. "Well¡­" Xian Zhiyang hesitated for a moment, but still continued, "I¡¯m short of some money, and need to borrow five million from you. I spent all my money on buying land. Once the price of land increases, I¡¯ll return the money to you as soon as possible." Without a second thought, Tan Zhenman immediately replied, "Sure, send me your card number. I¡¯ll transfer the money using my phone." When Tan Zhenman put down the phone, Xi Li thought, ¡®Who was that? Tan Zhenman actually became so emotional?¡¯ "Senior Xi Li, the person that called was my schoolmate, the one that brought Senior Mo to our school. Because he did so, I got to know Senior Mo, and gained an opportunity."Tan Zhenman quickly explained. Xi Li also became agitated, "So can we visit this schoolmate now?" "Beep beep!" A new message popped into Tan Zhenman¡¯s phone, and in it was Xian Zhiyang¡¯s card number. "Sure, he¡¯s in Gua Cheng City. I¡¯ve already talked to him about it, so wee can head over immediately." Tan Zhenman spoke while transferring the money to Xian Zhiyang. "Ok, let¡¯s leave right away." Without even greeting any of his colleagues here, Xi Li quickly walked out of the plaza. Once they took a step out of the plaza, and there wasn¡¯t any danger, Xi Li knew that Xia Zhi had been killed by that senior for sure. ¡­ After Xian Zhiyang hung up the phone, he suddenly realised that he forgot to ask if Tan Zhenman passed the Three Star Exam. She was simply too emotional on the phone, to the point that he thought that they were good friends. "Have you borrowed the money?" When Xian Zhiyang was thinking about whether he should make another call, Xian Dongxi probed. "Beep beep!" His phone received a new message, and after looking at it, Xian Zhiyang solemnly told everyone, "The money is here, please sign the contracts, once that¡¯s done, I¡¯ll transfer the money over to everyone." With cash on hand, everything was easily executed. The contracts for transfer of shares were ready and in a short period of time, everyone finished signing them. Then, Xian Zhiyang transferred the money to Xian Dongxi and the others. Once Xian Dongxi received the money, his frown was turned upside down. He chuckled while talking to Xian Zhiyang, "Zhiyang, earning money isn¡¯t easy nowadays. You can¡¯t compare yourself to the men from those large families just because you¡¯ve gone to study at a university in a big city." Xian Zhiyang coldly replied, "There¡¯s no need for you to worry about how my family spends our money. I won¡¯t be seeing you out, please leave." "Elder brother, something¡¯s not right¡­" Just at this moment, Xian Zhiyang¡¯s sister exclaimed as she ran into the room. "What¡¯s wrong?" Xian Donghai asked. "The sun has rose, and the haze is gone. On top of that, there¡¯s no longer any weird smell in the air¡­" Without any further explanation, everyone in the house charged outside. No one could remember when was the last time that they had seen the sun. Indeed, the sun had appeared in the sky. More accurately speaking, the haze that covered the sun had been blown away. All they could see was that the haze seemed to have been sucked away by some unknown entity. Not only was the haze gone, the weird smell in the air was gone as well. No one knew how long it had been since rays of sunlight directly hit their faces. The sky was blue, the air was fresh, as though as the entire place was a utopia. Other than the Xian family, everyone else in the world rushed out of their homes and offices, raised their heads to admire the clear blue skies, and took in deep breaths of clean, fresh air. Cheers and celebrations erupted in every corner of the globe. Countless people knelt on the ground, thanking god for returning their original home to them. At this moment, everyone could feel true freedom. Being able to freely breath clean air, that was true freedom. There was nothing complicated about it. All it took was fresh air. "The haze is really gone¡­" Xian Dongxi came to a realisation. He turned around to look at Xian Zhiyang and Xian Donghai, and felt like he had been cheated by them. "Donghai, did you guys know that things would turn out this way, hence you tricked us?" Xian Dongxi¡¯s heart was filled with regret. He demanded for two to three million dollars, only to lose hundreds of millions. He knew very clearly how cheap the land that Xian Zhiyang bought was. Agitated, Xian Zhiyang clenched his fists. He did not have to ask Tan Zhenman anything now as it was obvious that everything Mo Wuji told him was true. The environment on Earth was now better than one century ago, so why go to Planet Diyuan? The large plots of land that he bought was finally going to make him rich. ¡­ Tan Zhenman, who had not boarded the plane yet, also stopped in her tracks. The entire Qi Shu City discovered that in a short period of time, the haze covering the city like a blanket was rapidly sucked away, revealing blue skies, white clouds, sunlight, and green grass. The previously rancid air was replaced by a fresh mixture which even brought a tinge of sweetness with it. Clenching his fists tightly, Xi Li stared at the sapphire blue skies. If Earth was restored, was there a need to go to Planet Diyuan? "I understand now!" Both Tan Zhenman and Xi Li said these three words at the same time. Tan Zhenman understood what Xi Li understood as well: why Mo Wuji asked her not to go to Planet Diyuan. It was because the Earth would be restored to its former glory, a place of luxury without pollution or weird smells. She also understood why Mo Wuji asked Xian Zhiyang to buy land. With this transformation of Earth, all land prices would shoot through the roof. While she didn¡¯t know how much land Xian Zhiyang had bought, it was clear that his net worth could possibly far exceed that of the Tan family. "If this was the work of that senior, he¡¯s just too powerful¡­¡¯ Xi Li mumbled to himself as he shivered in excitement. Tan Zhenman also clenched her fist, saying with great conviction, "Senior Xi Li, it could only be that senior that can restore the blue skies and clean air of Earth. It must be him, because he said¡­" At this instant, Mo Wuji was already a deity-like figure in Tan Zhenman¡¯s heart. She couldn¡¯t believe that someone like her had actually received instruction from someone like him. Chapter 852: Refining The Sage Dao Talisman Chapter 852: Refining The Sage Dao Talisman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Qingche stopped at the gate of Xihe University, and just like everyone else, she stared at the increasingly clear sky blankly, breathing in the air that became fresher by the second. Countless people cheered; countless people knelt down and cried. Mother Earth which had been abused by them had finally been restored. They could once again freely breath everywhere. With a similar emotion in her heart, Mo Qingche gazed at the sapphire blue sky. Back when she was just born, Earth¡¯s environment was already in a rather devastated state, which inspired her father to give her the name ¡®Qingche¡¯[1]. Now she could finally see clear [2] skies and breathe the clear [2] air. While she didn¡¯t see Mo Wuji, deep inside she knew that only her grandpa could do something like this. At this moment, she suddenly felt immense pride because this was what her grandpa did, and it was the farewell present he was leaving behind for Earth before leaving the planet. All of the bad memories vanished from her heart, and the shadow of Wen Rong disappeared as well. She did not have to look for Wen Rong anymore, as she had surpassed her past, hence to her, it was just like some water that flowed past or some ice that melted. "Qingche, you finally came looking for me." A surprised voice rang out, and a yellow clothed man rushed out of the university. Within a few steps, he was right in front of Mo Qingche, and he frantically said, "Are you finally convinced of the idea? As long as we can link up with the Xia family, what does going to Planet Diyuan mean. Qingche, we don¡¯t have to go to Planet Diyuan now either. The Earth¡¯s environment has been restored, so we just have to go to the Xia family¡¯s pharmaceutical group¡­" Wen Rong was no Xi Li. Even though the Xia family had been wrecked for quite some time, he was still unaware. "Wen Rong." Mo Qingche interrupted him. Raising her head towards the sky, she replied, "I wanted to bid you farewell, but once I arrived here, I suddenly understood many things. Hence, I¡¯m no longer here to look for you, and I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any greetings I have to make either. Since there was no beginning, why would there be an end? I only wanted to take a look at my alma mater. Back in the day I studied here for a few years, so perhaps this is the only place I want to see before leaving." Mo Qingche¡¯s family was very rather poor, and she possessed average looks. Add that to the slightly proud personality she inherited from her grandma, it wasn¡¯t unusual that she didn¡¯t have many friends here. "You¡¯re going to Planet Diyuan? Did you bring me up with them¡­" Wen Rong was shocked, and quickly move forward to grab her arm. However, before his hand could touch her, a faint light knocked him backwards. This made Wen Rong stare at his hand, not registering what had just happened. Ignoring Wen Rong, Mo Qingche spoke at the sky, "Grandpa, there¡¯s nothing worth remembering left here for me. I want to leave." Just as her last word left her mouth, a faint rainbow formed around her. Wen Rong looked on as she vanished into the vast space, without a clue of what was going on. ¡­ "Grandpa, were you the one that restored the Earth¡¯s environment?" Mo Qingche excitedly asked after appearing beside Mo Wuji. With a chuckle, Mo Wuji replied, "That¡¯s right, I did it. I¡¯m also going to set up a defensive array, so I¡¯ll send you to my world first." At this point, he felt very excited as well, because he could feel a formless power that the Earth was giving him. Although he couldn¡¯t utilise it yet, but it seemed like this power was very important. "What world?" Mo Qingche asked with a puzzled expression. However, Mo Wuji gave a weird look. He couldn¡¯t send Mo Qingche into the Undying World. It wasn¡¯t that no one had entered the Undying World before. Ao Sangzi and Ao Xia of the Dragon Clan hid in his Undying World for a short period of time. "What¡¯s wrong?" Mo Qingche asked as she saw her grandpa frown slightly. "It¡¯s nothing much, I¡¯ll just set up a defensive array to protect the Earrth, then I¡¯ll bring you out of here." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to continue thinking about it. The Undying World was his, so it was just a matter of time before he found out what was the cause of this. "Grandpa, after you protect the Earth, does that mean flying ships can no longer enter and leave Earth as they please?" Mo Qingche clarified. "No, my defensive array will not affect any flying ship. It will only affect the highest tier of living things that cultivate. Under my defensive array, if any cultivators or extremely strong demonic beasts arrive, they will be instantly killed." "What are demonic beasts?" Mo Qingche was very curious. "..." ¡­ A mere few days later, Mo Wuji completed the setup of Earth¡¯s defensive array. After which, he drew out his own flying car and brought Mo Qingche away from Earth. Only when the flying car entered space did Mo Wuji call out Shuai Guo and Da Huang. Now, he wanted to find some way to refine the Sage Dao Talisman in his sea of consciousness. Only after it was refined would he be able to obtain the items inside of it. Thus the flying car was handed over to Shuai Guo to control, while Da Huang was to serve as a guard because Mo Qingche had never cultivated before, despite the fact that his flying car had a defensive array of its own. The laws in space were weak, and on top of that the flying car was isolated by the defensive array with his aura, hence both Shuai Guo and Da Huang did not face suppression by the laws when they came out. "Qingche, Da Huang and Shuai Guo are friends. I¡¯m going into closed door cultivation for some time. During this period, they will keep you company. Once we reach the sect, I¡¯ll teach you how to cultivate. We¡¯re in space, and the laws are not complete, so you don¡¯t need to cultivate for now." Mo Wuji urgently wanted to refine the Sage Dao Talisman, thus he quickly gave these instructions after bringing Da Huang and Shuai Guo out. "Don¡¯t worry my lord, leave everything to me." Shuai Guo patted his chest confidently. Upon hearing this, Mo Qingche stared at Shuai Guo and exclaimed, "A bird that can talk?" Since Mo Wuji wanted to get back to the Immortal World as soon as possible, he didn¡¯t have the time to explain everything and just went into the cabin and set up restrictions all around. His consciousness delved into his sea of consciousness. In the space of such a low level world, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, Da Huang commented snidely, "It¡¯s not a bird. It¡¯s just a mosquito." "Hehe, a Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito is a mosquito, but have you seen a bird that more impressive than a Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito? I wouldn¡¯t even want to be a bird. Elder sister, are you a discipline of my lord?" Shuai Guo chuckled and immediately spoke to Mo Qingche with a fawning look on his face. Finally regaining her senses, Mo Qingche quickly replied, "Mo Wuji is my grandpa. My name is Mo Qingche." "So you¡¯re my lord¡¯s grandchild?" Shuai Guo frantically bowed after hearing this, and while joy rose up in his heart, he spoke with complete seriousness, "Oh sure. Since your surname is Mo, it¡¯ll be enough if you to call me Big Brother Shuai Guo in the future." Seemingly afraid that Da Huang would stir up trouble in front of Mo Wuji, Shuai Guo added on, "This is Da Huang. You can call him Brother Da Huang, but of course, you can refer to him as second brother as well. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, I became acquainted with my lord earlier, and Da Huang only came to know him much later. As for the titles of big brother and second brother, I¡¯ll leave that up to you." With a grunt, Da Huang retorted, "I¡¯m still much stronger than you." By now, Mo Qingche realised that this Shuai Guo was somewhat special, and didn¡¯t really give a hoot about who¡¯s big brother or second brother. She just asked curiously, "Shuai Guo, you¡¯re really a Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito?" "You know of Bloodthirsty Blood Mosquitos too?" Once Shuai Guo heard Mo Qingche bring up the topic of Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitos, he immediately replied respectfully. Nodding her head, Mo Qingche replied, "Of course I do. The Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito was one of the five greatest beasts of the savage period. You¡¯re really one of them? So you¡¯ve eaten a Grade 3 Virtuous Golden Lotus before?" Upon hearing this, Da Huang couldn¡¯t take it any longer, and responded impatiently, "It¡¯s just dreaming. It only has a little bit of the bloodline of Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitos." "That¡¯s already very impressive." After all, Mo Qingche knew that Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitos were beasts of legends, but she never imagined that she could see one today. When these words left her mouth, Shuai Guo became even happier and said to Mo Qingche, "Da Huang isn¡¯t that capable, and he even wanted my name. However, my lord had given me the best name, so he could only be called Da Huang." "Shuai Guo is the best name?" Mo Qingche stared at Shuai Guo in shock. Shuai Guo responded proudly, "Naturally. Do you know what Shuai Guo means? Let me educate you, it means handsome and grand." "Puaa!" She couldn¡¯t keep her laughter in any longer, and then said, "That¡¯s right, this name is indeed handsome and grand." ¡­ The giant Sage Dao Talisman in the sea of consciousness was suppressed by runes, but Mo Wuji could still sense the dao ripples circulating around it. Although his sea of consciousness was many times stronger than before, he didn¡¯t dare to underestimate this Sage Dao Talisman. After using a few tens of array flags to suppress the talisman further, Mo Wuji took out the Kun Wu Sword and levitated it over the Sage Dao Talisman for insurance. Completing these steps, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will slowly seeped into the Sage Dao Talisman. The moment that his spiritual will entered the talisman, it felt like a dam had broken apart and countless inscriptions gushed out. Different grades of inscriptions continuously flowed into Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. While is sea of consciousness surpassed that of an Immortal Emperor, he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. There were only two choices available. The first was to exit the Sage Dao Talisman this instant. As he had just entered it, there was still enough time for him to exit. The second was to try to absorb these inscriptions and make them his own. In the end, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t exit the Sao Dao Talisman. He had a feeling that since this was his second time entering the talisman, if he backed out now, he would never be recognised by it. This meant that he would never be able to refine the Sage Dao Talisman once he exited. [1] Another term with a the same hanyupinin means clear. [2] The homophonous term for ¡®Qingche¡¯ is used here Chapter 853: Deadly Danger Chapter 853: Deadly Danger Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Large numbers of inscriptions of various grades gushed into Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. While he did not have the ability to refine them instantly, he wasn¡¯t willing to exit the Sage Dao Talisman either, so the only other option he could think of was to filter the inscriptions. One inscription after another were cut down before they could enter Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. Only a small amount was absorbed and understood by him and turned into something of his own. Other people might have thought this was a waste and possibly not dare to even do it in the first place out of fear that it would affect the power of the Sage Dao Talisman. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care at all. He cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, so he didn¡¯t need that many inscriptions from the Sage Dao Talisman. As long as he could master part of the basic inscriptions, he could use his dao revelation channel to understand a Talisman Dao that truly belonged to him. As he continuously cut down various inscriptions, the pressure on his sea of consciousness was reduced slightly. Around him, silver inscriptions began to form. These silver inscriptions flashed constantly, and eventually covered him completely. ¡­ Gua Cheng City, inside Xian Zhiyang¡¯s temporary office. Xian Zhiyang stared at the dust covered Tan Zhenman that stood before him in shock. Never did he imagine that she would actually come over. When his gaze fell on Xi Li that was standing behind her, it was like he saw a ghost. He pointed at Xi Li, stuttering, "You¡¯re¡­ Number 1 expert Xi Li¡­" With a smile and a bow, Xi Li responded, "That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Xi Li. Compared to Senior Mo Wuji, I¡¯m really nothing much. Please don¡¯t say that I¡¯m the number 1 expert." After regaining his composure, Xian Zhiyang looked at Tan Zhenman with a surprised look, "Tan Zhenman, you really passed the Space Navigation Federation¡¯s Three Star Exam?" Xi Li took the iniative to reply, "With Tan Zhenman¡¯s skill level, even Planet Diyuan¡¯s Five Star Exam would be a piece of cake." Tan Zhenman quickly clarified, "Yes, I¡¯ve already passed the Three Star Exam. The things Brother Mo Wuji taught me are simply too powerful¡­" As Xian Zhiyang and Mo Wuji were friends, and he was also her classmate, she did not want to refer to Mo Wuji as ¡®senior¡¯ in front of him. Xian Zhiyang was not a dummy though, and not only was he not a dummy, he had a very high IQ. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have sensed that Mo Wuji was special. Once he heard Tan Zhenman¡¯s words, and with Xi Li coming to a small location like Gua Cheng, he immediately knew what they were here for: definitely to find Mo Wuji. However, he did not know where Mo Wuji was. It was only by chance that he had saved Mo Wuji once. Without any means to communicate with Mo Wuji, where could he start the search from? As expected, Tan Zhenman followed up, "Xian Zhiyang, I was blind back then to not have taken Brother Mo Wuji as my master. Now Senior Xi Li wants to look for Brother Mo, can you tell us his address?" With a slight difficulty, Xian Zhiyang replied, "Tan Zhenman, I really don¡¯t know where Brother Mo went. Back then, I had only met him by chance on Luo Yang Mountain. He was injured and I sent him to the hospital." Upon hearing Xian Zhiyang¡¯s explanation, both Tan Zhenman¡¯s and Xi Li¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. Just when Xi Li wanted to ask where Luo Yang Mountain was, his phone range again, which prompted him to quickly pick up the call. Halfway through the phone call, his hand shivered and the phone fell towards the ground. As Tan Zhenman was just standing right beside Xi Li, she swiftly grabbed the phone before it hit the floor. "Senior Xi Li¡­" When she was about to probe further, a panicking voice came from the phone, "...Countless beasts that are stronger than ever before appeared, and we can¡¯t even take a single hit from them. The construction of Planet Diyuan¡¯s defensive structures has been demolished, countless humans have been massacred by the beasts¡­ They seem to have some level of intelligence, as they gave up on murdering and forced humans to send them to Earth in flying ships that they stole¡­" "Clack!" Tan Zhenman could not hold onto the phone anymore, which sent it clattering onto the ground. Due to the phone¡¯s good quality, a frantic voice continued to echo out from the phone after it hit the ground, "Instructor Xi Li, Instructor Xi Li, respond if your hear this transmission, respond if you hear this transmission¡­" "It¡¯s over, it¡¯s all over¡­" A tinge of hopelessness hung in Xi Li¡¯s voice. "Senior Xi Li, don¡¯t worry. Brother Mo is still here, so those beasts won¡¯t be able to do anything even if they make it to Earth." Tan Zhenman comforted him. Xi Li just shook his head and replied in a more downtrodden fashion, "Zhenman, you don¡¯t understand. Do you know why I came back so urgently? Back in the day I hid behind a rock on Planet Diyuan and saw two beasts fighting. THey were actually meters high and could even spit out blades. Those blades could slice even the largest tree in half. No matter how strong that Senior Mo is, he is only one person. Once those beasts flock to Earth, mankind is done for¡­" Despair was deeply rooted in Xi Li now. He was the number 1 expert that went from Earth to Planet Diyuan, but when facing these beasts, he wouldn¡¯t be able to block a single wind blade. Who knew that humans would have attracted these beasts over right after the Earth¡¯s environment had been restored? This stunned Tan Zhenman. While she had never fought against Xi Li before, she knew that she was definitely not his opponent. Now that Senior Xi Li was also afraid of these beasts, how could anything good come out of their arrival on Earth? If it were only one or two of them, they could still be blown apart by nuclear weapons. But if it were a large group, going nuclear would simply be seeking death. Sighing, Xi Li spoke, "We shouldn¡¯t have built the flying ship that can reach that sort of speed. As we ventured out, we also brought the enemy back, so it¡¯s just all for naught." "So what should we do?" Tan Zhenman forgot that she was just comforting Xi Li as she didn¡¯t know what they could do at this point in time anymore. Xi Li¡¯s eyes turned towards the crystal clear skies that no longer had any haze, and said with conviction, "Even if I die, I¡¯ll die at the frontlines of battle. Zhenman, you have great potential. When those beasts take over the Earth, there¡¯ll be some groups of mankind that survives. I hope that you will continue living and work hard to turn your potential into strength, eventually leading more men to drive those beasts away. If we humans are not meant to go extinct, the day that we chase them away will come." After finishing his piece, Xi Li turned around and left. Those beasts were already in space, hence they would reach Earth in a few month¡¯s time. In these few months, he had to make some preparations. "Senior Xi Li, I will leave with you. If it weren¡¯t for Brother Mo¡¯s instruction, I, Tan Zhenman, would still be an ignorant student. With my power comes responsibility. Even if I can only fight against a single beast, I would gladly do so." The grand feelings of Xi Li had moved her deep inside. When Xi Li was the first expert to leave Earth, he led the Earth¡¯s experts to occupy an area on Planet Diyuan. Now that the beasts had come to Earth, he was the first to step forward to risk his life to protect the planet. Never did Xi Li think about himself, and if Tan Zhenman had this sort of mindset, she would have become Mo Wuji¡¯s disciple by now. But because she was selfish, wanting to go to Planet Diyuan to live a good life, did she lose something that would have belonged to her. After staring at Tan Zhenman for a good while, Xi Li nodded his head, "Sure, you¡¯ll leave with me then." Although he asked her to hide herself, in reality, after those beasts came to Earth, where would she be able to hide at? "Tan Zhenman, Senior Xi Li, let me help as well." Xian Zhiyang quickly added on. However, Xi Li just patted his shoulder, "You¡¯re a good person, but this is not something that you can help with." ¡­ The South Pole. By the time Xi Li and Tan Zhenman arrived here, there were three to four layers of explosive weapons set up. Some of the top grade missiles had been moved over too, all in the hope of eliminating the beasts on Earth in the shortest time possible. "Instructor Xi Li." Once Xi Li disembarked from the plane, Ka Sanuo, who had come back earlier, trudged towards him with a serious expression. Waving it off, Xi Li tried to be as casual as he could, "When we first arrived on Planet Diyuan, didn¡¯t we face even more beasts? Since we could set up a foundation there, we can also stop the beasts from setting foot in Earth." Ka Sanuo didn¡¯t make any comments. He knew that Xi Li¡¯s words weren¡¯t meant for his ears, but for the soldiers. Nearly none of the soldier present had gone to Planet Diyuan before, and most had special forces backgrounds. "Are you building a laser wall?" Xi Li asked curiously as he observed the construction works going on around him. Ka Sanuo acknowledged it, "Yes." But Xi Li did not reply, as it was clear to him that the presence of a laser wall didn¡¯t make much of a difference. Planet Diyuan had a similar laser wall which was fortified over many years to the point that no normal laser walls could match up to it. If those beasts could destroy the laser wall on Planet Diyuan and steal flying ships to come over, what use would this last minute laser wall be? At this moment, Woolf also walked over, asking softly, "Instructor Xi Li, are we going to prepare to use nuclear weapons?" "There¡¯s no need for that. Even if we were able to kill all of the beasts with nuclear weapons, the Earth would be on the brink of destruction. Without using them, perhaps many years down the road, we humans can still take back the home that rightfully belongs to us." ¡­ As compared to the uptight South Pole which had a continuous stream of soldiers going there, everywhere else on Earth experienced a period of happiness. What could make one happier than breathing clean air and seeing the clear blue skies after suffering for a few decades? Even the number of disputes and arguments seemed to decrease. Humans would always be the most adaptable species. Within a short span of months, almost all stock prices rose tremendously. If there were any that saw their stock price drop, it would undoubtedly be those companies that earned the most from purifying air or something similar. However, the tension in the South Pole was building up. Inside a gigantic command center, large screens displayed the dense pack of flying ships approaching Earth. Based on their trajectory, it would take at most half a month for those flying ships to land on the South Pole. The most ironic thing was that these flying ships were manufactured on Earth. ... Chapter 854: All You People Chapter 854: All You People Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The group of flying ships has slowed down. 59 minutes remaining till entry into the atmosphere¡­" The voice from the AI rang out loud and clear inside the hall. The person standing all the way at the front and staring at the armada of flying ships on the monitors, Xi Li, had fear and pain etched into his eyes. "49 minutes remaining till the flying ships enter the atmosphere¡­" The AI¡¯s voice seemed to jolt the stunned Xi Li back to his senses, as he suddenly instructed, "Everyone pay attention, once the flying ships enter the atmosphere, lock onto them and fire. For those flying ships that manage to avoid all missiles, engage them with the heaviest firepower when they land on Earth¡­" Xi Li was aware that there were many humans beings being forced to do things inside the flying ships. Destroying anyone might not kill the beasts inside, but all man inside would definitely die. However, he couldn¡¯t help but give the command to do so. No matter how many people died, they couldn¡¯t allow the flying ships to land in the South Pole. Moreover, Xi Li also knew that while there were many land-to-air missiles in the South pole, there wasn¡¯t any guarantee about how many flying ships they could take down. Those flying ships that made it to Planet Diyuan represented the forefront of Earth¡¯s technology, so they could predict the trajectory of the missiles or other attacks and avoid them. "Sudden movement detected in the flying ship armada, they are starting to decelerate abnormally. Flying ships have stopped short of the atmosphere and are circling the Earth¡­" This new piece of news brought by the AI cause everyone to become stunned. That¡¯s right, the South Pole had a flying ship space harbour, and who knew how many weapons were pointed at this area. If the flying ships did not land at the South Pole, instead choosing another location, while they could still carry out attacks, they would be far less effective. As for whether the attacks would cause collateral deaths, this was already ignored from the start. "Instructor Xi Li, what should we do?" Many people, with Ka Sanuo as their representative, turned to look at Xi Li. Xi Li was the instructor of the Space Navigation Federation and also the leader of the long battle against beasts on Planet Diyuan, and now he was the only one that could give an idea for the way forward. Taking in a deep breath, Xi Li was about to announce the start of the offensive, but a sudden emergency broadcast came from the command hall, "Urgent message! Urgent message! I am Space Navigation Federation¡¯s Space Enforcer Yu Yiyu, the beast threat onboard the flying ships has been neutralised. Flying ship armada seeking permission to land at the South Pole harbour, please respond¡­" "What?" Regardless whether it was Xi Li, Ka Sanuo, or anyone else, no one could believe the truth that was before them.Si Li had detailed how scary the beasts were, and how they couldn¡¯t deal with the beasts on Planet Diyuan, so how could those beasts have been eliminated before the flying ships even landed? "Could he be coerced by the beasts?" An officer said cautiously. Without anyone else¡¯s comments, Xi Li spoke confidently, "That¡¯s impossible. I¡¯ve known Yu Yiyu for decades and fought side by side with him. I know what kind of man he is better than anyone." There was a good reason for Xi Li to believe Yu Yiyu, and he also believed that if they swapped places, Yu Yiyu would trust his words too. To them, when it came to the choice between their lives or the safety of Earth, they would throw their lives away without hesitation. The AI spoke once again, "Federation YL021, YL102, Federation MH199, MH311, Federation GKQ015¡­ Requesting to share internal cabin feed¡­" "Approved." Xi Li immediately agreed. Even if the flying ships requesting to land did not offer to share their internal cabin feed, he would have asked for it. There was no chance that he would allow any flying ship to land before seeing the internal cabin condition, not even if Yu Yiyu requested for it. A spacious cabin appeared on the gigantic display, which shocked all personnel in the control hall upon seeing it.. The Space Navigation Federation¡¯s flying ships were an amalgamation of the latest technology in the world, and almost all famous rocket scientists took part in its design and construction. As a flying ship would be gone on a voyage of up to decades-long, its interior was intentionally designed in a way that was not only spacious but also very intricate. However, what was the scene before their eyes? A room covered in blood. Those beasts were cut open by who knows what knife. Some died after taking a few slashes, while others were decapitated with one slice. Inside the big flying ship¡¯s cabin, there were the dead bodies and bloodstains of all sorts of beasts piling up everywhere. "Grant permission to flying ships whose cabins have been inspected to land. Put the attack on hold, standby for further orders." Xi Li ordered. Once the flying ships received permission to land, they rapidly entered the atmosphere and docked at the giant flying ship harbour of the South pole. At this point, Xi Li had already brought Ka Sanuo and a group of men to wait here. The first to exit the flying ship was a single armed, middle-aged man covered in bloodstains and sweat. Upon spotting him, Xi Li quickly went forward, "Yiyu, your arm¡­" Surprisingly, Yu Yiyu did not care about his arm at all, instead grabbing Xi Li using his remaining arm and with a smile on his face, "Thank you Xi Li." Xi Li quickly replied, "Yiyu, your arm is gone, why are you still thanking me?" Staring up at the sapphire sky, Yu Yiyu squinted at the sun while explaining agitatedly, "Do you know? When I heard that the Earth¡¯s environment had been restored by a mysterious expert, joy blossomed in my heart. It is indeed as such, no, it is 10,000 times better than I had imagined it to be. Even Planet Diyuan does not have such a natural environment." With a forced smile, Xi Li responded, "This is not my doing. It was a senior named Mo Wuji. I¡¯ve never even met this Senior Mo before." "What about Senior Mo¡¯s disciple Tan Zhenman?" Yu Yiyu asked. Tan Zhenman, who had always been standing beside Xi Li, stepped forward and greeted, "Tan Zhenman greets Star Enforcer Yu." Towards Yu Yiyu, Tan Zhenman had nothing but the highest level of respect. Under his sound leadership only did Earth manage to create a flying ship that could travel between galaxies, which enabled them to discover Planet Diyuan, a backup plan for Earth. What made her feel even closer to him was that Yu Yiyu was also a Chinese like her. Yu Yiyu bowed back at her, "Zhenman, you¡¯re the disciple of Senior Mo, and Senior Mo is a great benefactor of Earth. I, Yu Yiyu, thank your master here today. We¡¯re also fellow Chinese, so if you respect me, call me Brother Yu." Upon hearing this, Tan Zhenman frantically returned the bow, "Brother Yu, Senior Mo did not take me as his disciple, but he¡¯s indeed a Chinese like you and me." By this moment, the number of people in the area had grown, and Xi Li asked, "Yiyu, what¡¯s going on? Why did Planet Diyuan¡¯s beasts suddenly lose control, and since they had come to Earth, why were they suddenly killed?" Xi Li knew the structure of Earth¡¯s flying ships too clearly. While it had many excellent functions, there weren¡¯t any weapons that could kill beasts. Only then did Yu Yiyu speak fearfully, "Not long after you left, the beasts went wild. They broke through all our defenses and killed countless humans. Those beasts were quite smart. Not only did they leave some humans alive, they forced the survivors to control the flying ships to head towards Earth. Back then I was already prepared to make the flying ship implode in space. However, we underestimated the intelligence of the beasts. They learned how to control the flying ship very quickly and contained us in a fixed area. Do you know? The first to receive news that the Earth¡¯s environment was overhauled wasn¡¯t the humans but those beasts. When the flying ships approached Earth, I gave up all hope¡­" "So how were those beasts killed¡­" Ka Sanuo couldn¡¯t help but blurt out. Yu Yiyu continued on, "In reality, I don¡¯t know what happened. When the flying ship approached Earth, formless blades suddenly shot in from the outside of the flying ship. Those blades seemed to have eyes, cutting down the beasts in the shortest amount of time possible." "Ah¡­" Everyone was stunned after hearing Yu Yiyu¡¯s words. A flying ship was sealed up extremely well while traveling through space, so how could blades, or formless blades for that matter, shoot in from the outside? Was this a fictional story? "I know everyone doesn''t believe me. Actually, i don¡¯t really believe this myself. Even till now I suspect whether I was dreaming. It seemed like some invisible things seeped into the flying ship before condensing to form blades that killed the beasts." Yu Yiyu explained after taking in a deep breath. "I know, it must be the work of Senior Mo. Only he is powerful enough to prevent the beasts from entering Earth." Tan Zhenman said excitedly. "But¡­" Someone asked out of suspicion, "This doesn¡¯t seem very realistic. Can someone control formless wind blades outside of Earth? And send them into a flying ship to kill the beasts while recognising their targets?" This might have sounded rather absurd, and even Tan Zhenman, who was adamant that Mo Wuji did it, didn¡¯t dare to rebut the person when he questioned her assertion. After she cooled down, she also felt that this was not logical at all. Although Xi Li did not dare to confirm that Mo Wuji did it, he still greatly respected this Senior Mo that he never met before. After seeing many bloody men exit the flying ships, he quickly instructed, "Everyone please rest first. We¡¯ll convene a federation meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter." Just when Xi Li finished his sentence, a sigh echoed out from space, "All you people, I just restored the Earth¡¯s environment and set up a defensive array, and you bring back so many demonic beasts. Let me tell you, while my defensive array is of a rather high grade, but it requires immortal spiritual energy to sustain. If you continuously bring back demonic beasts and experts, no matter how high a grade my array is, it will lose its effect eventually due to the exhaustion of immortal spiritual energy. Since Earth¡¯s environment is back to normal, isn¡¯t it good enough for everyone to live happily on Earth? Remember that everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment, so don¡¯t let something like this happen again. Also, don¡¯t go searching for some Planet Diyuan and bring back all sorts of nonsensical demonic beasts. I can¡¯t help you if the defensive array is gone since I¡¯ve left long ago¡­" The voice gradually turned softer, before it finally faded into space. "It¡¯s Brother Mo, Senior Mo¡­" Tan Zhenman was so emotional that she was flushed and couldn¡¯t control the words coming out of her mouth. Even though it was all men from the highest echelons of Earth here, they knelt to the ground and thanked Mo Wuji after hearing the message left behind by his spiritual will. "So it was Senior Mo indeed, it was Senior Mo indeed¡­" Xi Li¡¯s face turned bright red as well. His only regret was that he could never meet this Senior Mo face to face. Yu Yiyu clenched his fist tightly. He regretted never coming back with Xi Li to meet his Senior Mo even once. Chapter 855: A Familiar Friend In A Cultivation World Chapter 855: A Familiar Friend In A Cultivation World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Kacha!" The Sage Dao Talisman in Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness released a crisp sound. It felt as though a flood dam had burst as the various kinds of talisman runes surged into Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. An empty silver-grey space appeared within Mo Wuji''s mind. MonWuji knew that he had refined the first layer of seals of the Sage Dao Talisman. With a flash, Mo Wuji appeared within this space. Mo Wuji had entered the Sage Dao Talisman before; this was his second visit. When he first came, this space was filled with boundless spatial distortions; Mo Wuji knew that those spatial distortions were due to that Fu Jiujiang. Standing at the Sage Dao Talisman''s first layer, he didn''t feel any sort of spatial distortion. At the same time, he didn''t see any talismans floating around, not even the lowest grade one. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will out once more, he soon made contact with the second layer of the Sage Dao Talisman. The talisman runes within the seal were even more profound and complex, he felt like he was facing a sea of smoke. Mo Wuji sighed; he didn''t try refining the second layer. Refining the first layer already took him half a year, but for this second layer, he might not necessarily be able to successfully refine it even if he used a decade. Moreover, there were clearly a third and a fourth layer beyond this second layer. When would he be finally able to completely refine this Sage Dao Talisman? Mo Wuji was clear that if he wanted to obtain the peak grade talismans within this Sage Dao Talisman or to learn some of the Laws of Talisman, he would have to refine the Sage Dao Talisman to Fu Jiujiang''s degree at the very least. But very clearly, he didn''t have that much time now. Tens of years might not mean much to him, but for Mo Qingche, this time is vital. Now that he had refined the first layer of seals for the Sage Dao Talisman, he didn''t continue having it within his sea of consciousness. Instead, he moved to Sage Dao Talisman to his Undying World. There were still many layers of seals that he was unaware of; he didn''t even know if there were any other people like Fu Jiujiang within the talisman. The Sage Dao Talisman was indeed the number one sage talisman but before he fully refined it, he wasn''t going to have this dangerous object within his sea of consciousness. "My Lord, you''re out." Seeing Mo Wuji emerge, Shuai Guo eagerly greeted him. "Grandpa, Da Huang and Shuai Guo are truly interesting." After several months of interaction, Mo Qingche had long regarded Da Huang and Shuai Guo as her good friends. "Qingche, even though the Laws are not complete, you need to start cultivating. I still don''t know how long more we would have to stay in the void." Mo Wuji was worried that they would spend too much time in the void. Mo Qingche''s longevity was reaching its; it was critical for her to start cultivating. But now, he didn''t have the World Rending Talisman so he didn''t know how long he would take to return to the Immortal World. "That''s good." Mo Qingche had wanted to cultivate for a long time. Now that she heard Mo Wuji''s words, she was especially delighted. During the whole journey, she had been very envious of Shuai Guo''s magic. Unfortunately, she wasn''t able to perform them. Moreover, the taste of fasting pills really wasn''t anything good. She heard from Shuai Guo and Da Huang that once her cultivation reaches a certain level, she wouldn''t need fasting pills to fast anymore. What drew her further in was the vast and majestic void; the beautiful scenery had enticed her deeply. Mo Qingche knew that if not for the protection of the flying car, she wouldn''t even last a minute in the void. That''s why she urgently wanted to cultivate; that way, she could tour around in this endless and beautiful void. Mo Wuji said solemnly, "Qingche, you have spiritual roots and your spiritual roots are not bad. Moreover, I used the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow to help you cleanse your marrow. On the other hand, I don''t have spiritual roots. This is a secret so you cannot reveal it to anyone. The reason why I''m telling you this is because you can choose to cultivate the same technique that I''m using, or you can choose to cultivate a technique that regular spiritual roots holders cultivate¡­" "Grandpa, I will cultivate the same technique as you," Mo Qingche didn''t hesitate to say. To her, her Grandpa was an existence which seemed capable of splitting the skies and shattering the earth. Naturally, she wanted to cultivate the same technique as Mo Wuji. "Alright, then today, I will impart to you my cultivation technique. My cultivation technique is the Immortal Mortal Technique. This technique existed even before me but after my modifications, this technique is not quite the same as before. However, I must tell you, my cultivation technique is no worse than any other cultivation technique. It''s just that at the start, you would need to suffer a little¡­" Mo Wuji explained. "I''m not afraid of suffering." Mo Qingche anxiously wanted to start cultivating; why would she care about suffering? Mo Wuji''s flying car was forged by himself; it was spacious and it was even a Grade 9 immortal equipment. Moreover, there were plenty of magic arrays within it. After imparting the Immortal Mortal Technique and some cultivation knowledge to Mo Qingche, Mo Wuji directly installed a lightning array in the inner compartment to help Mo Qingche open her meridians. At this instant, Mo Wuji''s arrays wouldn''t be as life-threatening as when he first opened his meridians. The strength of his lightning array was specific to the level of meridians opened. Not only that, the quality of Mo Wuji''s current meridian opening solution was much better than the one he used those years ago. ¡­ As Mo Wuji was teaching Mo Qingche about the process of cultivation, both Da Huang and Shuai Guo didn''t dare to interrupt. This was especially so for Da Huang since he also cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. When he heard that Mo Qingche had to reopen her meridians, he knew that his body, which had been sculpted from Phecda Clay, was extremely impressive; he could skip many difficult matters. Seeing Mo Qingche enter seclusion, Da Huang also requested to enter seclusion. Compared to Shuai Guo, Da Huang was more assiduous in his cultivation. After Da Huang and Mo Qingche finally entered their secluded cultivation, Shuai Guo finally dared to speak, "My Lord, we aren''t even going in any specific direction. Where are we?" "This should still be the lower plane. We should go to a higher plane." With that, Mo Wuji directly tore open the space in front of him. Under the protection of Mo Wuji''s domain, the flying car travelled into a higher plane. Indeed, after reaching this plane, Mo Wuji was no longer able to form tears in space. Mo Wuji had previously expected this; with his ability at the Immortal Emperor Stage, he could only tear through the space of a mortal world. Even though he could tear through the space of the cultivation world as well, it would only lead him to another part of the cultivation world. With his current power, he was completely unable to tear through the space of the cultivation world to get to the Immortal World. "There''s spiritual energy here." Shuai Guo could also feel the spiritual energy within the void. Mo Wuji really wanted to try using Kun Wu to see whether he could directly form a tear from the cultivation world to the Immortal World. However, after some contemplation, he decided against it. Even if he could form a tear, the spatial distortions within the tear would be extremely terrifying. If his flying car ever gets damaged by the spatial distortions, then Mo Qingche would undoubtedly die. "Shuai Guo, do you want to cultivate like Da Huang, or do you want to help control the car?" Mo Wuji really wanted to find out exactly where they were. Shuai Guo didn''t even consider, "My Lord, I will naturally help to control the car." Shuai Guo liked lively places filled with people. If there weren''t any people around, it would rather control the flying car than cultivate. "Alright, you can control the car, but don''t disturb me. Also, you need to pay attention to my array flag. Whatever direction my array flag points to, you would move in that direction." After Mo Wuji handed the helm over to Shuai Guo, he sat at the extreme front and sent his spiritual will outwards. Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness was even stronger than a Dao Emperor. In the void of a cultivation world like this, his spiritual will was able to extend for thousands upon thousands of miles. Within this void, there was no reference point nor anyone he could ask. Mo Wuji could only move in the direction of higher spiritual energy. Fortunately, this wasn''t his first time doing this. Back when he was a Xuan Immortal, he was already able to get to the Immortal World from the cultivation world. Now that he was already an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor, he believed that he didn''t need long to find the right path. Multiple months passed. Mo Wuji could sense that Mo Qingche had already reached Channel Opening Level 2. However, he still didn''t manage to find any inhabited planets. Mo Wuji decided to search for one more month. If he still didn''t find anything, he would take the risk to use Kun Wu to tear through worlds; he would forcefully try to get to a higher plane. Just as Mo Wuji made this decision, a familiar aura appeared within his spiritual will. A familiar person? Mo Wuji immediately got Shuai Guo to move away; he personally controlled the flying car to fly forward at its fastest speed. If he could find a familiar person within this part of the world, it would mean that there was a planet nearby. Mo Wuji''s flying car was a Grade 9 immortal equipment, and it was even controlled by himself. In this sort of cultivation world, he only needed breaths to reach his destination. The person in front of Mo Wuji was actually a barefooted youth in violet robes. He was entirely bloodied and he had an expression of fear on his face. When he saw Mo Wuji in front of him, he cried out in anxiety, "This big brother, hurry and move out of the way. That b*stard is coming. He wants to cook me and eat me¡­" However, he suddenly stopped speaking. Instantly, a look of pleasant surprise emerged. He recognised Mo Wuji. Chapter 856: Insanely Strong Opponent Chapter 856: Insanely Strong Opponent Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations That expression of pleasant surprise soon disappeared. That violet robed youth soon cried out anxiously, "Big Brother, hurry and flee. That person is too terrifying¡­" Mo Wuji laughed and said, "It¡¯s too late to flee, that person is already here. I say, Yan Li, I gave you a vase of Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow those years ago but you don¡¯t seem to have grown much. Even your transformation isn¡¯t complete, there are still two golden horns on your head." This violet robed youth was Yan Li, he was the Golden Horn Violet Dragon that Mo Wuji saved. Back then, Mo Wuji was able to leave the cultivation world because of the Hidden Dragon Pool that Yan Li told him about. Not did the Hidden Dragon Pool help him to get back to the Immortal World, it also helped him greatly: his physique had improved greatly and his cultivation also rose. After all these years, Mo Wuji could feel that Yan Li¡¯s cultivation was approaching the Heavenly Immortal Stage. With Yan Li¡¯s cultivation, he only needed a single step and he would be able to ascend from this world. Yan Li said anxiously, "Even though I don¡¯t know why you haven¡¯t left for the Immortal World, our matters should be left for later. We have to leave¡­" Yan Li¡¯s voice stopped abruptly. A grey shadow suddenly appeared between him and Mo Wuji. "Little worm, continue running." An icy-cold voice filled with contempt sounded. This was a very young-looking man. He had a head full of brown hair which grew to the back of his shoulders. His voice sounded like a prepubescent kid who had yet to break his voice. Mo Wuji was inwardly filled with shock. This young man¡¯s cultivation definitely exceeded every expert that he had ever met. He was sure that even Dao Emperors would be treated like ants in front of this young man. Around this young man, there were boundless of talisman runes flashing and revolving. Mo Wuji could faintly see the talisman rune of the World Rending Talisman emerging from the young man. Mo Wuji was in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage and he was also the progenitor of his own Dao. He only needed a single glance at this man to know what was going on. This young man was definitely much stronger than him. The only thing that reassured him was that this fella had a peak grade regulation talisman on him. Due to this regulation talisman, the Laws of the Heaven and Earth didn¡¯t directly crush this young man to juice. But even though this young man had the regulation talisman, the pressure of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth still formed trails of blood on his body. With Mo Wuji¡¯s judgement, this fella could only display a power above that of an Immortal King, but below that of an Immortal Emperor. Yan Li cried harshly, "I don¡¯t know why you must kill me. But Mo Wuji is my friend and he¡¯s not related to this." "Haha¡­ Go and die, little worm." The brown-haired man laughed maniacally, he opened his hand and grabbed towards Yan Li. Mo Wuji sprang out of his flying car and punched towards this young brown-haired man. Yan Li was his friend; how could he simply let Yan Li be killed in front of him? "Big Brother, you have to hurry and flee. This person is extremely powerful¡­" Yan Li urgently wanted Mo Wuji to run away. He was very clear that even if Mo Wuji had grown more powerful than before, Mo Wuji still wouldn¡¯t be able to last a single move from that brown-haired man. "What galls, you actually attack me¡­" The brown-haired man snorted coldly. The palm he extended towards Yan Li turned into a fist. He then punched out towards Mo Wuji; the way that he moved was the same as Mo Wuji. He wanted to use the exact same method that Mo Wuji was using to crush Mo Wuji into pieces. "Boom!" Elemental energy exploded violently. Yan Li, who was caught in the crossfire, was directly sent flying by this clash of elemental energy. Moreover, this was after Mo Wuji forcefully tried to shield Yan Li from the impact. Otherwise, Yan Li would have directly been killed. "Kacha!" The sound of something shattering could be heard. "Ah!" Following that was a terrifying roar. The eyes of this brown-haired man turned crimson red; they shone with deep hatred and fury, "Who are you exactly? You are actually able to use the power of an Immortal Emperor here? I¡¯m going to devour you¡­" Even as this brown-haired man was saying those words, his body continuously tore apart. The flashing talisman runes around him also started to burst. Now, even his pupils had turned red. He maniacally released a punch towards Mo Wuji. Compared to the previous punch, the power in this punch was multiple folds higher. "Bang!" Just as this punch was released, this brown-haired man exploded into a mist of blood. After Mo Wuji shattered his regulation talisman, he was no longer able to resist the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Not only did his body explode into a mist of blood, his belongings were also reduced to ashes by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Even though this youth had been suppressed by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, that dying punch of his was still able to send Mo Wuji flying. Fortunately, the dao energy within the punch was no longer perfect the moment that brown-haired man died. Thus, Mo Wuji only suffered some light injuries. "Big Brother, how were you able to get rid of that fella with a single punch?" Yan Li rushed over in excitement and glee. Mo Wuji slowly caught his breath. He was also in disbelief as he said, "Yan Li, you¡¯re just a Violet Dragon that had yet to reach the Heavenly Immortal Stage. How did you manage to offend such a powerful enemy?" Yan Li stroked his forehead, "Big Brother, I don¡¯t even want to think about it. That fella seemed bent on finding me. I was chased by him for more than half a month. I don¡¯t even know him." Mo Wuji looked at Yan Li in doubt, "Yan Li, I¡¯m not underestimating you but this fella¡¯s cultivation is extremely terrifying. Even ten thousand of you working together wouldn¡¯t be his opponent. He would need half a month to chase you?" "Big Brother, actually, you have some misunderstandings. WIthin my bloodline, there¡¯s a unique ability. I can easily find nodes between different places in the same plane, and I can traverse between them. Every time I move to a different part of the void, I lose track of this fella for a period of time. Unfortunately, this fella seems bent on chasing after me and he would eventually find me. When that happens, I would need to continue finding nodes and leave that part of the void. If not for that, I would have been caught by him a long time ago," Yan Li explained helplessly. "A bloodline¡¯s sacred art?" Mo Wuji uttered in astonishment. Having cultivated for so long, he naturally knew that this was a bloodline sacred art, and not some unique ability. From the looks of it, this Violet Dragon¡¯s background wasn¡¯t simple. "It¡¯s a sacred art?" Yan Li¡¯s brows knitted together as he thought about it. His cultivation was still lacking so he had yet to inherit his full legacy; there were many things that he still didn¡¯t know about. Mo Wuji directly interrupted Yan Li¡¯s thoughts and asked urgently, "Then are you still able to find the location of the Hidden Dragon Pool?" Yan Li shook his head, "Big Brother, I don¡¯t even know how far I had run, or how many galaxies I had been too. If you ask me now, how would I be able to find it? However, I have a method. I am able to ascend at any moment. When I ascend, Big Brother can follow me." Mo Wuji nodded; he knew that Yan Li ascended, the passage between the cultivation world and the Immortal World would open briefly. As long as the passage was opened, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to return to the Immortal World with his Immortal Emperor Stage cultivation. "I was just about to ask you, why haven¡¯t you ascended even though you¡¯re so close to the Heavenly Immortal Stage?" Mo Wuji asked hurriedly. Yan Li said with a bitter expression on his face, "It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to, it¡¯s that I don¡¯t dare to. I have the bloodline of the Golden Horn Violet Dragon, the moment I ascend to the Immortal World, even my bones would get eaten." Mo Wuji patted Yan Li¡¯s shoulders, "There¡¯s no need to worry. You can ascend now. When the passage to the Immortal World opens, I will follow you." "Big Brother, rest assured. As long as I want to ascend, I can do it." Yan Li patted his chest; he had absolute trust towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was even able to eliminate that pervert chasing after him. Clearly, this Big Brother of his was also insanely strong. "Wait, let me return this to you. Those years ago, I didn¡¯t manage to meet your mother, so I can only return this pearl to you." Mo Wuji retrieved a green pearl. This green pearl was the one that Yan Li passed to Mo Wuji those years ago. He requested for Mo Wuji to hand this pearl to his mother should they ever meet. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t manage to meet Yan Li¡¯s mother but now that Yan Li was going to ascend to the Immortal World, he should return the pearl to Yan Li. Yan Li accepted the pearl with a blank expression on his face. Clearly, he missed his mother deeply. "Don¡¯t think too much about it. Your abilities are still lacking greatly. Don¡¯t just think about how you seem to have transformed. Honestly, even an idiot can tell that you¡¯re a Golden Horn Violet Dragon. Let me give you another thing. After you refine this, then you can ascend." When he finished speaking, Mo Wuji took out a jade box and handed it to Yan Li. Yan Li accepted the jade box in doubt; he was wondering what thing could help complete his Dragon Race transformation. When he finally opened the jade box, he immediately cried out in surprise, "Transformation Dao Fruit? Big Brother, you even have such a thing? Back then, you gave me the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow. Now, you¡¯re giving me this Transformation Dao Fruit. Big Brother, do you still have¡­" "Stop bullsh*ting. Hurry and refine." Mo Wuji knocked Yan Li¡¯s forehead. He felt that this fella definitely shouldn¡¯t meet Shuai Guo. If the two of them met, a highly explosive reaction might take place. "Alright, I will refine it immediately." Yan Li elatedly grabbed the Transformation Dao Fruit and jumped onto Mo Wuji¡¯s flying car. He didn¡¯t treat himself as an outsider. ¡­ One month later, Yan Li stood up. His eyes were filled with delight. Even though his cultivation level didn¡¯t rise, his understandings towards the Dao had gotten more profound. Not only that, his Golden Horn Violet Dragon aura had completely vanished; even the two little golden horns on his head had disappeared. As for the violet energy revolving around him, it had been completely retracted. "Not bad." Mo Wuji was also very happy. He could tell that Yan Li¡¯s future was going to be bright. Don¡¯t look at how that kid Shuai Guo seemed to have an undefeatable bloodline legacy; actually, Yan Li¡¯s bloodline was no lower than Shuai Guo¡¯s. Moreover, Shuai Guo wasn¡¯t as hardworking as Yan Li in cultivation. It wouldn¡¯t be weird if Yan Li overtook Shuai Guo. On the other hand, it was Da Huang¡¯s potential that Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t discern accurately. He had given Da Huang 108 meridians as well as 108 spirit channels. If Da Huang were able to fuse his spirit channels and his meridians, Da Huang might even end up more powerful than him. "Big Brother, I¡¯m ready to face my tribulation." Yan Li had already noticed that Mo Wuji had parked his flying car at some desolate planet. "Alright, go on and face your tribulation. When you ascend, there¡¯s no need to care about me. I will follow you." Mo Wuji waved his hand towards Yan Li. While waiting for Yan Li to pass his tribulation, Mo Wuji sent Da Huang and Shuai Guo into his Undying World. Then, he called Mo Qingche out. Over these short months, Mo Qingche¡¯s aura had grown to be like Mo Wuji; it had become more like a mortal. Her cultivation had also improved, she was already at Channel Opening Level 3. Chapter 857: A Lot Of People Are Going To Die Today Chapter 857: A Lot Of People Are Going To Die Today Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yan Li¡¯s cultivation had long reached the pinnacle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. The moment he released his aura, the faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the air. In just a single breath¡¯s time, nine dancing lightning bolts came crashing down. Yan Li¡¯s physique was clearly not weak. Even though he didn¡¯t charge up to face the lightning like Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t need to take out any form of defensive treasure; he simply accepted the blows of the lightning. Waves of lightning landed on Yan Li. They tore through Yan Li¡¯s skin, splashing fresh blood all over his body. Yan Li was truly tough; he didn¡¯t release any grunts of pain, nor did he use any defensive treasure. Standing by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, Mo Qingche witnessed the sight with a palpitating heart. She said worriedly, "Grandpa, this Lightning Calamity is so terrifying. In the future, would I also have to face it?" Mo Wuji said calmly, "That¡¯s right. If you wish to pursue greater heights, you need to pass a tribulation of lightning. If you fail, then you would be reduced to ashes." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even try to encourage Mo Qingche. As a cultivator, if she couldn¡¯t even accept this, then any encouragement was useless. He couldn¡¯t possibly stay by Mo Qingche¡¯s side the whole time; Mo Qingche would eventually have to walk on her own path. Mo Qingche seemed to understand Mo Wuji intentions. She firmed her resolution and said, "Grandpa, rest assured. In the future, when I¡¯m facing this lightning, I definitely will not falter." One day later, the Lightning Calamity finally dispersed. The bloodied and fatigued Yan Li finally passed it and he was greeted by rainbow clouds of recovery. In half a day, Yan Li excitedly sprang out of the lightning-blasted ditch. "Big Brother, that Lightning Calamity is truly refreshing. I already feel the power of ascension. As long as I release my Heavenly Immortal aura, we would immediately be able to ascend." Yan Li elatedly ran over; his voice was filled with excitement. Mo Wuji could also clearly feel a qualitative change in Yan Li; Yan Li was much stronger than before. Mo Wuji nodded and said, "You can ascend now. I will follow you." Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t left the Immortal World for a long time, and this time was simply nothing for the experts of the Immortal World. However, the reason why Mo Wuji was so anxious was because of what he left behind. It was true that he destroyed the Great Sword Path, but Mo Wuji was clear that the Great Sword Path¡¯s greatest expert, Yi Minghu, was still alive. There¡¯s no need to talk about Yi Minghu. All three of the Grand Emperors and the Quasi-Emperor that surrounded him and tried to kill him were all still alive. Moreover, his enemies weren¡¯t simply these four. There were still Grand Emperor Lun Cai and the Alliance Head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. It could be said that during his absence, his Ping Fan was left in a precarious state. What kind of people was in Ping Fan? There was only one newly-advanced Grand Emperor, Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao¡¯s abilities were not bad; he was able to control a faction within Sword Prison. However, compared to true experts, Wei Zidao wasn¡¯t anything special. "Alright." Yan Li responded and immediately released his aura. A loud rumble came from the vast void; a passage began to form above Yan Li¡¯s head. A strong force of suction directly swept Yan Li up, sucking him away. Mo Wuji extended his hand and grabbed Mo Qingche; he rushed up the passage together with Yan Li. Just as Mo Wuji entered the passage, a powerful force of repulsion tried to push Mo Wuji away. There seemed to be an obstacle within the passage. Yan Li was able to pass this obstacle unhindered, but Mo Wuji and Mo Qingche were blocked. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart race; he was clear that once Yan Li fully ascends, this passage would disappear completely. He would no longer be able to use this passage to return to the Immortal World. At this instant, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate any further. He retrieved a page of the Book of Luo to protect Mo Qingche. After which, he grabbed his Kun Wu Sword and cleaved down towards this obstacle. A violent sword intent swept outwards, forming a tear on that obstacle. Mo Wuji then punched towards that tear, blowing it apart. A small gap appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hurriedly grabbed Mo Qingche and raced through that gap. Various kinds of spatial blades sailed past him. Even though Mo Wuji had a strong late-stage God Physique, injuries still formed throughout his body. Mo Wuji was inwardly glad that he had used the Book of Luo to protect Mo Qingche. Otherwise, among these terrifying spatial blades, he would have no means of protecting Mo Qingche. The power of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth was truly terrifying. Now, he was trying to go against these Laws. If he were any weaker, he would have probably been killed. After getting through that obstacle, Mo Wuji immediately felt immortal spiritual energy. A ripple filled with natural runes appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was an array master and he had also recently learnt about different kinds of talismans. Thus, he only needed a single glance at these runes to know that they were transfer dao runes formed from the dao aura of the Heaven and Earth. Mo Wuji had never ascended before. However, his spiritual will detected that Yan Li had entered those dao runes. Grabbing onto Mo Qingche, he went into those dao runes. Indeed, after stepping into the dao runes, an otherworldly sensation flooded towards him. At the next instant, Mo Wuji landed in a deep pool surrounded by mists of spiritual energy. Above this deep pool, there was a line of huge golden words: Luo Ling Immortal Domain Tenth Ascension Pond. "Big Brother, the immortal spiritual energy here is really rich." Yan Li was incomparably excited. As he was speaking, he had already sat down and started to stabilise his cultivation. On the other hand, Mo Qingche¡¯s cultivation was too low to feel the benefits from the ascension pond. Mo Wuji waited for Yan Li for half a day. After Yan Li stabilised his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, he also stopped cultivating. ¡­ Mo Wuji knew that every Immortal Domain had several ascension ponds. It was just that he didn''t come to Immortal World through the usual means, so his understanding towards the ascension ponds was limited. No immortals were allowed into the ascension pond. One reason for that was because the passage to the cultivation world was in the ascension pond. Even though an ordinary person could not open the passage, this was still a top secret of the Immortal World. After Mo Wuji and co. left the ascension pond, they arrived at a huge hall. Before the three of them could ask anything, two immortals came to them, "Are the three of you newly ascended?" The one speaking was a Golden Immortal. The moment he finished his question, he felt that something was wrong. Yan Li did have the aura of a newly ascended Heavenly Immortal. However, Mo Wuji and Mo Qingche looked no different from mortals. They didn''t even have the aura of ascension on them. How could they also be newly ascended immortals? "You brought mortals into the Immortal World?" The other person stared at Yan Li and shouted. There weren''t many people in the hall, but when they heard those words, they all swarmed over. In their perspectives, anyone that could bring mortals during ascension definitely had some powerful treasure. Usually, it should be safe for a newly ascended immortal. Not only did the Immortal Domains extend some form of protection towards these newly ascended immortals, experts also wouldn''t lower themselves to attack a newbie. After all, how could a newly ascended immortal possibly be worth attacking? But now that Yan Li had revealed himself to have some peak grade treasure, things were different. Mo Wuji was rather speechless; an ordinary cultivator could bring a mortal up to the Immortal World? These people needed to add some points their intelligence. He was an Immortal Emperor, one that wasn''t restricted by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth at that. Even so, he needed to borrow the help of Kun Wu Sword to use the ascension passage to get to the Immortal World. How could an ordinary person be capable of doing such a thing? Yan Li said disdainfully, "Are you stupid? If I had a treasure to bring mortals up to the Immortal World, I wouldn''t reveal bring the mortals into this hall." "Let''s go, Yan Li." Mo Wuji wasn''t in the mood to waste any time. He knew of Luo Ling Immortal Domain. Immortal Empress Wen Lan was from Luo Ling Immortal Domain. Not only that, the Great Sword Path that he exterminated those years ago was also from Luo Ling Immortal Domain. Seeing Mo Wuji and co. leave the hall, the few cultivators gave each other knowing glances. Thereafter, they all sped after Mo Wuji and co. Facing newly ascended cultivators, they didn''t dare to publicly attack them in an immortal city. If the group of them walked into an immortal city, then things would no longer be so easy. Mo Qingche asked in confusion, "Grandpa, aren''t mortals prohibited from using the ascension passage? These people seem intent on stopping us. Since that''s the case, why don''t they use that as an excuse?" Yan Li snickered, "If they used that excuse, then our treasures would no longer belong to them." Mo Wuji didn''t even bother to place these puny fish in his eyes. His spiritual will had already spread into the distance. He didn''t specifically try to break open the immortal city''s seals. With the strength of his spiritual will, he was able to quickly locate the position of the transfer array. Through that scan, Mo Wuji also found out where they were. This was a famous immortal city in Luo Ling Immortal Domain - Ding Po Immortal City. Mo Wuji was all too familiar with Ding Po Immortal City. Those years ago, those big sects had set up a trap array here in an attempt to ambush him. Because of Han Qingru''s warning, he was able to avoid it. Even so, he almost perished in the void outside Ding Po Immortal City. Mo Wuji also knew of a cultivator from Ding Po Immortal City called Chen Hu. Chen Hu was an Eight Star Talent. Back in the third level of the Broken World, he had a trade with Chen Hu. Chen Hu''s character was not bad; he was steady and magnanimous. Mo Wuji even heard that Chen Hu''s father was also an Immortal Emperor. However, he also heard that Chen Hu had already perished in Cosmos Edge. He never thought that he would return back to Ding Po Immortal City. From the looks of it, he was rather fated with this immortal city. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will soon extended beyond Ding Po Immortal City. Outside Ding Po Immortal City, a huge wanted order was erected. Mo Wuji knew that person on the wanted poster all too well. It was himself. It was written clearly on the poster, he was accused of plundering the resources of the Immortal World, killing the innocent, and committing many other misdeeds. All cultivators were encouraged to do a good deed and kill Mo Wuji. At the same time, anyone that provided news on Mo Wuji would be hugely rewarded. Seeing this wanted order, Mo Wuji''s heard sunk. He wasn''t afraid of being arrested; with his power, who in the Immortal World would dare to arrest him? Instead, he was worried about his Ping Fan Immortal School. If even he, the sect head of Ping Fan, was wanted, it would be weird if Ping Fan was left unscathed. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will continued to extend outwards. When he saw several corpses nailed below the wanted order, Mo Wuji was thoroughly incensed. There was a clear description below those corpses: Mo Wuji''s companions. Mo Wuji opened his palm, calling out Shuai Guo and Da Huang. He had an overcast expression as he said, "Da Huang, you and Shuai Guo protect Yan Li and Qingche. Today, many people are going to die." Chapter 858: Five Punches Chapter 858: Five Punches Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Back then, he wasn''t even an Immortal King when he exterminated the Great Sword Path. Now, he was already an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor. Even if it was the Very High Heavens that tried to destroy his Ping Fan, he would not hesitate to extinguish them. "Sister Qingche, my Lord seems to be very angry. What happened?" Shuai Guo carefully walked to Mo Qingche''s side and asked. Mo Qingche didn''t even know what happened. She shook her head, "I also don''t know. It''s just that some people in the Ascension Hall wanted to steal Big Brother Yan Li''s items." "What? Some ants dare to have any intention on my brother? Where are those ants? I will suck them dry," Shuai Guo shouted angrily. Da Huang shot Shuai Guo a look of disdain. He knew Shuai Guo for a long time; he naturally knew of this kid''s character. This kid might sound righteous and angered now, but in reality, even if Yan Li fingered those people out, Shuai Guo wouldn''t do anything. More accurately, Shuai Guo wouldn''t dare to do anything. It''s not that Shuai Guo was afraid of those fellas; it was that Shuai Guo was afraid that the Lord would get angry. Da Huang could only admit that he was inferior to Shuai Guo in terms of acting. Unless the Lord personally ordered it, Shuai Guo''s words would merely be a bluff. Yan Li could feel that Shuai Guo''s power vastly exceeded his. He hurriedly came forward and clasped his fists modestly, "Big Brother, many thanks for speaking up for me. My name is Yan Li, I''m an old acquaintance of Big Brother Mo." Shuai Guo waved its hand, "Since you are friends with my Lord, you are my younger brother now. From now on, I, Shuai Guo, will protect you. Oh right, this fella here is Da Huang. Da Huang says that he is very strong. One time, he got into a fight with someone and got smashed into pieces. Eventually, it was my Lord that helped him to forge his body. Da Huang is really not bad. Of course, I also help my Lord to fight in battles. It''s just that my bones are harder and I can take the hits." Shuai Guo didn''t say anything that Da Huang wasn''t. However, he also didn''t say that Da Huang was far stronger than him. It''s just that when Yan Li hears Shuai Guo''s words, it felt to Yan Li that Shuai Guo was immensely stronger than Da Huang. Didn''t you hear Shuai Guo''s words? Da Huang helped the Lord to battle once, resulting in his body being smashed to pieces. On the other hand, Shuai Guo constantly helped the Lord in battles but he was still alive and well. "Big Brother Shuai Guo, Brother Da Huang, please take care of me." Yan Li instantly recognised the hierarchy; he placed Shuai Guo above Da Huang in that hierarchy. ¡­ At this instant, Mo Wuji was already in front of the four corpses nailed to the city wall. His eyes were filled with anger. He didn''t know who these people were, nor did he know why these people would be left to rot here. With a wave of his hand, the four bodies landed on the floor. Thereafter, he grabbed multiple healing pills and placed them into one of the bodies¡¯ mouth. Among the four, only this person still had a breath of life. With Mo Wuji''s abilities and resources, as long as the soul was still attached to the body, and as long as there was still a breath of life, he would be able to save that person. "You actually dare¡­" A few of the cultivators that were tailing Mo Wuji since the Ascension Hall witnessed this scene. They all pointed at Mo Wuji in aghast, too speechless to continue talking any further. At the same time, they came to realise a cruel fact: Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t a newly ascended immortal. There was no need to talk about a newly ascended immortal, Mo Wuji wasn''t even an Immortal King. It definitely wasn''t a simple matter to release those nailed corpses. These people glanced towards each other, then they hurriedly turned and tried to leave. It was just that the moment they turned, a wind blade sailed by, slicing all of them into halves. Even their primordial spirits weren''t able to escape. Two guards stationed at the city wall were already extremely shocked when they saw Mo Wuji release the corpses. Now that they saw Mo Wuji publicly kill people in Ding Po Immortal City, they immediately knew that this matter wasn''t simple. The shrill cry of an alarm sounded. The cultivators around the area all frantically moved out of the way. Shuai Guo¡¯s mouth went wide with excitement; it did not like cultivating, but it liked causing a ruckus. Unfortunately, Shuai Guo was usually afraid of angering the Lord, so it suppressed its character. After ten breaths of time, that cultivator that Mo Wuji fed the pills to opened his eyes. His cultivation was only at the late Golden Immortal Stage. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s pills were the highest of tiers of healing pills. Thus, this cultivator had soon recovered. "Senior, many thanks for saving me." This cultivator stood up and clasped his fists. "It¡¯s you? Qu Yang?" This cultivator¡¯s entire body was bloodied, and there wasn¡¯t even a single intact piece of meat on his face. However, the moment he opened his mouth to speak, Mo Wuji recognised him. This person was actually Qu Yang. Those years ago, he was pursued by Nai He in the cultivation world and he fell into canyon in the void. In that canyon, he met Qu Yang. Moreover, Qu Yang was even a cultivator of Zhen Xing as well. It was just that Qu Yang¡¯s Absolute Sabre Sect had long perished from the history of Zhen Xing. Qu Yang cultivates the Saber Dao, and his character was upright and proper. When Mo Wuji first saw Qu Yang, Qu Yang had a plain and simple sabre on his back; Qu Yang looked lofty and proud like a pine tree. When Mo Wuji left Half Immortal Domain, he didn¡¯t meet Qu Yang. If he did, he would definitely have invited Qu Yang along with him. In terms of character, Mo Wuji felt that Qu Yang was much better than Bian Shuangbi and Mu Yingqiao. He didn¡¯t think that Qu Yang would also leave Half Domain Immortal and that Qu Yang would be suffering here. "You are Mo Wuji?" Qu Yang also came to a realisation; the person in front of him was indeed Mo Wuji. Towards Mo Wuji, he only felt utmost respect and admiration. If not for Mo Wuji, he would have still been trapped in that canyon. If not for Mo Wuji, he would not have been able to leave Half Immortal Domain. While Mo Wuji might not have brought him away, Mo Wuji had forcefully opened the transfer array between Half Immortal Domain and the Edge of Yong Ying. That had saved countless of lives. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s character was even more worthy of respect. Back in Half Immortal Domain, Mo Wuji was the only one that dared to disciple Meng Tianyu, as well as that Dao Lord Guang Quan. Besides Mo Wuji, who else dared? Not only must one have the backbone, one must also have the ability. "It¡¯s me. I really didn¡¯t think that we would meet again at Ding Po Immortal City. Exactly what¡¯s going on? Who are these people? Why were they nailed to death here because of me?" Mo Wuji was also rather elated; he didn¡¯t think that the person he casually saved was actually Qu Yang. Before Qu Yang could answer, a cold voice interrupted, "Mo Wuji, you are truly bold. You actually dare to show yourself in Ding Po Immortal City." "Shua¡­" More than ten figures descended from the sky, surrounding Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji saw the people surrounding him, he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid. Among these ten over people, there were only four Immortal Emperors; there was one late-stage Immortal Emperor, one intermediate stage Immortal Emperor, and two early stage Immortal Emperors. The rest were either Immortal Kings or Immortal Reverents. Mo Wuji felt speechless; back when he was in Oblique Space Sea Island, the people that surrounded were all experts at the level of Dao Emperors. There was no need to talk about Oblique Space Sea Island, even back in Cosmos Edge, the people that tried to kill him were either Immortal Emperors or Grand Emperors. His powers had already increased since that time; his cultivation had even reached the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. However, the people encircling him actually got weaker. "Mo Wuji, the Heaven truly has virtues. We also do not wish to kill you. Just tie yourself and allow yourself to be captured. We also do not wish to destroy Ding Po Immortal City." The one speaking was the late stage Immortal Emperor. Clearly, he had heard stories of Mo Wuji and he knew that Mo Wuji was not simple. Mo Wuji did not look at him. Instead, he faced one of the intermediate stage Immortal Emperor and said, "If I¡¯m not wrong, you should be Chen Hu¡¯s father, right?" This intermediate stage Immortal Emperor looked similar to Chen Hu. Additionally, the energy of his cultivation technique was also the same. Mo Wuji guessed that this person was Chen Hu¡¯s father. This intermediate stage Immortal Emperor clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and nodded, "That¡¯s right. This Emperor is Chen San. I have heard stories about you from Chen Hu. You are truly not a bad person. It¡¯s just that¡­" Chen San didn¡¯t continue any further. He felt that any further words would not be appropriate. Mo Wuji calmly asked, "Chen Hu and I could be considered acquaintances. Since you are Chen Hu¡¯s father, I want to ask you something, how¡¯s my Ping Fan Immortal School?" Mo Wuji still hadn¡¯t received a reply from the message that he sent to Ping Fan. Chen San hesitated momentarily but he still said, "Ping Fan Immortal School is slightly damaged, but the place is still there." When Mo Wuji heard those words, the killing intent in his heart burned fervently. Chen San¡¯s words might sound simple, but Mo Wuji knew that it was far from that. If his Ping Fan was really destroyed, then he would go around paying a visit to everyone that contributed to its destruction. Ping Fan was his legacy. Anyone that destroyed his legacy must compensate with their lives. "Dao Friend Chen San, I have one word. It¡¯s up to you whether you choose to listen. I have interacted with Chen Hu before, and Chen Hu is really a good person. Thus, I have never treated Chen Hu as my enemy¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, Chen San immediately said, "Sect Head Mo, I understand what you¡¯re saying." After which, Chen San clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "Everyone should know what I, Chen San, am like. My son, Chen Hu, is still missing and it¡¯s unknown whether he is even alive. Sect Head Mo used to have a cordial relationship with Chen Hu. I will not join you in dealing with Sect Head Mo." Actually, Chen San already felt that it was disgraceful for so many people to gang up against Mo Wuji who didn¡¯t even seem to be at the Immortal Emperor Stage. Moreover, Chen Hu had said it before: Mo Wuji was not simple and was full of potential. Of course, Chen San knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s potential was going to be wasted. It¡¯s just that he still remembered his son¡¯s words. A gloomy voice said, "Chen San, you should also know whose order this is. There are so many sects in the Immortal World that support this. On the other hand, this Mo Wuji is probably only an Immortal Reverent at the very most. There would be no difference whether you participate or not. But if you choose to retreat like this, you cannot blame others when you suffer the consequences." "Haha¡­" Chen San chuckled, "I, Chen San, don¡¯t need to listen to your criticisms to what I do." With that, Chen San¡¯s figure flashed and he retreated to the sides. "Attack." Seeing Chen San retreat and that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seem to have any intentions of turning himself in, that late stage Immortal Emperor ordered harshly. He was the first one to attack with his magic treasure. Qu Yang truly wanted to help. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t even comparable to an ant among these people. There was no need to talk about helping; just standing among the pressure of these experts already made it difficult for him to even breath. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even move. Within his domain, all that suffocating pressure disappeared without a trace. It seemed as though he didn¡¯t notice the magic treasures moving towards him. He simply stood there and released five punches. Chapter 859: Kill Zi Changluo Chapter 859: Kill Zi Changluo Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Mists of blood formed under that punch. If Mo Wuji used four punches to deal with those three Immortal Emperors, then he only used a single punch to deal with everyone else. Moreover, the other party¡¯s attacks didn¡¯t even manage to break through Mo Wuji¡¯s domain. After those five punches, three Immortal Emperors, five Immortal Reverents and six Immortal Kings were killed without exception. The only one that Mo Wuji used two punches on was that late stage Immortal Emperor. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s powerful whirlpool domain, even that late stage Immortal Emperor could only struggle before being killed by Mo Wuji¡¯s punches. With five simple punches, more than ten experts were killed. There was no need to talk about the power behind those attacks, the precision was even more impressive. There wasn¡¯t any leftover energy behind Mo Wuji¡¯s attacks. Five punches, no more, no less. At this instant, the spectators didn¡¯t even dare to breathe. The only person that they could think of was the Very High Heavens¡¯ Dao Emperor Zi Changluo. Perhaps only Zi Changluo had such power. The moment they thought about Zi Changluo, some of them figured out who ordered the arrest of Mo Wuji. The Very High Heavens was indeed the one that ordered Mo Wuji¡¯s arrest. With that order, and Mo Wuji¡¯s immense strength¡­ Many of them predicted that an earthshaking change was going to befall the Immortal World. This change was either the death of Mo Wuji or the collapse of the Very High Heavens¡¯ Zi Changluo¡¯s rule over the Immortal World. Chen San stared blankly at the experts that have been reduced to mists of blood by Mo Wuji. He saw as Mo Wuji retrieved the ten over storage rings without uttering a single word. By now, he finally understood that the reason why Mo Wuji wanted him to retreat wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji was afraid. It was because Mo Wuji wanted to give him a way out on account of Chen Hu. Others might think that only Zi Changluo could be as powerful as Mo Wuji, but he knew clearly that even Zi Changluo wouldn¡¯t be able to do a thing. This was because he had met Zi Changluo before; Zi Changluo was far from being as impressive as Mo Wuji. After some time, Chen San clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji respectfully, "Many thanks, Sect Head Mo for sparing my life. Otherwise, Chen San would have already perished." Mo Wuji nodded, "Chen Hu was not a petty person. I can also tell that you are a forthright person. Why did you kill the innocent just because of the Very High Heavens?" Chen San sighed and said, "Sect Head Mo, this is because I want to plead the Very High Heavens to send people to search for my son, Chen Hu. That¡¯s why I went against my conscience." As Chen San was speaking, Mo Wuji had already condensed a huge hand from immortal elemental energy. With a sudden grab, Ding Po Immortal City¡¯s array started to rumble and shatter. It seemed as though a layer of translucent air had been shaved off Ding Po Immortal City; the city seemed clearer and the atmosphere felt looser. Chen San was an intermediate stage Immortal Emperor; he naturally knew that Mo Wuji had just destroyed a layer of Ding Po¡¯s arrays. To be honest, he felt that even though Ding Po Immortal City¡¯s Castellan Wan Mi had taken part in the attack on Ping Fan, Ding Po Immortal City itself wasn¡¯t at fault. If Mo Wuji was going to exterminate everyone in Ding Po Immortal City because of that, he felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s actions were too cruel. When many knowledgeable cultivators saw Mo Wuji¡¯s actions, their hearts began to shiver in fear. Many of them were worried that Mo Wuji was going to raze the entire Ding Po Immortal City. However, no one had the guts to leave. Fleeing in front of an expert like Mo Wuji was only bringing your death closer. "Sect Head Mo, it¡¯s Castellan Wan Mi and part of the Castellan Estate¡¯s men that took part in the attack against Ping Fan Immortal School. Just now, Brother Mo has already killed Wan Mi. I would like to request Brother Mo to not destroy Ding Po Immortal City." Chen San¡¯s heart was filled with worry. He knew that Mo Wuji would only need a single punch to kill him, however, he still hardened his resolution to make this request. There were many innocent people in Ding Po Immortal City. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even have the intentions of razing Ding Po Immortal City; he was not Grand Emperor Lun Cai. Now that he heard Chen San say that Ding Po Immortal City¡¯s Castellan Wan Mi had also participated in the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School, he immediately threw out multiple array flags, sealing the entire Castellan Estate. Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "Immortal friends, I believe that everyone should know who I am. Those years ago, I was cornered by several huge sects and pursued by multiple Grand Emperors. If not for my good luck, this world would not have a Mo Wuji a long time ago. There¡¯s no need for me to elaborate on why I was being pursued. Everyone should know it; it was the simple reason of greed." The whole crowd went silent. When an expert like Mo Wuji was speaking, who would dare to utter any noise? Sensing the fear and apprehension towards himself, Mo Wuji continued, "I, Mo Wuji, am not a coarse man like that Lun Cai. I will not take my anger out on the innocent. My sect is Ping Fan Immortal School. In my sect, even the most ordinary of mortals could have authority to speak for themselves; no immortals are allowed to kill mortals. Why would I act against the people of Ding Po Immortal City? I stand in front of all of you today, only to share the evil deeds of certain people. As for that array that I just destroyed, it¡¯s not actually a defensive array but a grand immortal jar array. It¡¯s used to trap people. Those years ago, this grand immortal jar array was installed to trap me. However, it didn¡¯t manage to catch me. I didn¡¯t think that this array would still be here. I didn¡¯t destroy this immortal jar array for myself, but for everyone." As expected, when everyone heard that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t destroy the defensive array of Ding Po Immortal City, almost all of them eased up. Don¡¯t simply look at the accusations against Mo Wuji by the powerful sects and the malicious announcements made by the Very High Heavens. In reality, that are few fools among those that could cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Which one of them would treat those accusations and announcements as the truth? Those years ago, weren¡¯t there claims that that Mo Wuji had exterminated the Dragon Race¡¯s bloodline in West Moat Ocean? Ultimately, it was revealed that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the villain, but the benefactor of the Dragon Race. In fact, it was a survivor of the West Moat Ocean¡¯s Dragon Race that cleared Mo Wuji¡¯s name. This sort of testament was more effective than any other form of explanation. With this incident as the precedent, who would still continue to believe the lies about Mo Wuji? "Sect Head Mo, we believe you." Someone in the crowd shouted. Compared to the Very High Heavens, people were more willing to trust Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s Ping Fan Immortal Sect was already a clear example. In the Immortal World, where could all men live together equally? There was only one such place - Ping Fan. Buddhist schools claim that all lives are equal. However, the true reality was that countless of murders still take part in the Buddhist Immortal Domain. Not only that, Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Guang Xing had personally participated in the encirclement of Mo Wuji. That was common knowledge. Mo Wuji eased his tone. He spoke with a clearer voice, "I urgently want to return to my Ping Fan Immortal School. However, I still want to let everyone know of the deeds of Very High Heavens¡¯ Zi Changluo. Not only ago, I was just at Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos." Hearing that Mo Wuji was at Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos not long ago, almost everyone went silent. Previously, few knew about the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. Now, few were unaware of it. This was because the Very High Heavens had announced to the Immortal World that more than a hundred races in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos had joined hands to deal with the Immortal World¡¯s Human Race. Almost all of the Human Race cultivators in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos were killed. Very High Heavens¡¯ Dao Emperor Zi Changluo fought valiantly but he only managed to save a few people and they fled back to the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji had just returned to the Immortal World; he still didn¡¯t know that Zi Changluo had painted black as white. His tone was calm as he continued, "Immortal Friends, the Very High Heavens is the face of our Immortal World; the protection of the Human Race cultivators in the Immortal World should be their objective. However, in reality, any other race can kill our Human Race cultivators in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos¡¯s Cosmos Edge. In the entire Cosmos Edge, the Human Race does not have any dignity or honour to speak of. Does everyone know what Zi Changluo has done? He hid in his nest, too afraid to come out. He didn¡¯t even dare to speak up for those Human Race cultivators that got unreasonably killed in Cosmos Edge. Thereafter, I came to Cosmos Edge. I saw the Gods Race¡¯s young lord killing our Human Race cultivators without reason. I was not able to hold it in. I killed that young lord, and at the same time, I killed the Gods Race¡¯s Immortal Emperors that encircled me¡­" Hearing these words of Mo Wuji, an applause sounded from within the crowd. Mo Wuji raised his volume, "But what did Zi Changluo do? He actually tried to appease the Gods Race; he took part in the Gods Race order to arrest me. It¡¯s just that the Gods Race had long had the intentions of occupying the last immortal city that the Human Race had in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. They didn¡¯t even care about Zi Changluo¡¯s actions as they sent their armies to surround the Human Race¡¯s city and slaughter the people within. I don¡¯t know how Zi Changluo managed to become the Dao Lord of the Very High Heavens, or how he was even able to control the entire Immortal World. I only have one sentence to say about that: This person is not worthy. When the Gods Race were invading our city, when the cultivators of our Human Race were fighting with their lives on the line, do you know what he did?" Mo Wuji shouted harshly, "Zi Changluo didn¡¯t fight with them. He secretly snuck out of the immortal city. If that was not enough, he abandoned millions of Human Race cultivators to ensure his escape. He only brought ten over people with him when he fled. After he fled, he closed the passage between the Very High Heavens and the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. This was what that coward, Zi Changluo, did." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the crowd started to get agitated. Many of the cultivators that went to Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos were friends and relatives to the people here. Zi Changluo told them that he had fought hard for the Human Race. They didn¡¯t think that the truth would be the exact opposite. This was clearly a form of humiliation. "Sect Head Mo, how did you know of this?" Someone in the crowd asked. Mo Wuji grabbed a crystal ball and said, "Back then, Zi Changluo had abandoned many Immortal Emperors. However, only three managed to survive. The three are Waterfall Immortal Sect¡¯s Immortal Empress Wen Lan, Virtual Qing Dao¡¯s Dao Lord Jie Ying and Revolving Soul Dao¡¯s Sect Head Lu Ziting. The three of them fought bravely. Coupled with the fact that the Gods Race wanted to leave behind some of the Human Race cultivators for a blood sacrifice, the three of them were able to escape the immortal city with little more than a hundred thousand cultivators. I¡¯m truly grateful that one of those cultivators recorded what happened; he allowed us to forever remember that instant." With that, Mo Wuji activated the crystal ball. The scenes of a violent battle appeared. Indeed, there were scenes of Lu Ziting, Immortal Empress Wen Lan and Jie Ying fighting courageously with countless of Human Race cultivators. The Human Race cultivators were continuously being slaughtered; the diminishing numbers could be seen with the naked eye. However, within those scenes, there was no Zi Changluo; nor were there any of the people that returned back with him. "Kill Zi Changluo!" "That shameless man!" "False gentleman! Let¡¯s storm into the Very High Heavens¡­" The cries of anger got louder and louder. Ultimately, they seemed to join together into one loud chant: "Storm the Very High Heavens! Kill that shameless Zi Changluo!" ... Chapter 860: No More Mercy Chapter 860: No More Mercy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Immortal Friends, I will definitely storm the Very High Heavens. But before that, I will return to my Ping Fan Immortal School. No matter who they are, anyone that dared to kill the innocent of my Ping Fan Immortal School must pay the price." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue further; he didn¡¯t have time to talk about how he had exterminated the Gods Race and that the Human Race now had rights in Cosmos Edge. "Sect Head Mo, under the leadership of the Very High Heavens and three huge sects, many experts have gathered to attack it. That entire area is prohibited from entry." A person within the crowd explained Ping Fan¡¯s current situation. In reality, no one was really clear about the exact situation; all these information were largely based on rumours. "Sect Head Mo, we are willing to follow you." ¡­ Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, " There are some people in Ding Po Immortal City that participated in the attack on my Ping Fan Immortal School. I hope that everyone can provide the names of those people." "I know, Ma Kangxuan, Di Yi¡­" "There¡¯s also Wan Mi¡¯s disciple¡­" In a short period of time, more than a hundred names were mentioned. With a quick scan with his spiritual will, Mo Wuji found that there were approximately a hundred people in the Castellan Estate. He was worried that Ping Fan might be in danger. He directly formed a huge palm of immortal elemental energy. The entire Castallen Estate was crashed into dust. "Immortal Friend Chen San, Ding Po Immortal City no longer has a Castellan. I have to trouble Immortal Friend Chen San to temporarily control Ding Po Immortal City," Mo Wuji said before he left. Chen San answered seriously, "Sect Head Mo, I am naturally willing to take up the mantle. It¡¯s just that I want to follow Sect Head Mo to Ping Fan Immortal School. I, Chen San, might not very strong, but I might be able to be of help." "We are also willing to help Mo Wuji, kill those shameless b*stards of the Very High Heavens," Some people shouted from the crowd. Mo Wuji could only say, "I, alone, am enough to deal with the matter regarding Ping Fan. After I¡¯m done with that, and when I¡¯m going to storm the Very High Heavens, I welcome everyone to join me." "Since that¡¯s the case, I will stay here and organise Ding Po Immortal City. In the future, I will definitely follow Sect Head Mo to the Very High Heavens." Chen San said in a straightforward manner. He was clear that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t boasting. With Mo Wuji¡¯s power, even if there were any more people encircling Ping Fan, it still wouldn¡¯t be enough. "Brother Qu, what happened to these friends of your?" Mo Wuji turned to Qu Yang and asked. Qu Yang clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "The few of us were from Half Immortal Domain. Previously, we helped to speak up for Brother Mo and we were caught by the men from the Castellan Estate. Wan Mi personally nailed us to the city wall. If not for that b*stard Wan Mi torturing me, I would have died a long time ago. The three of them truly died for no good reason. I have implicated them, ai¡­" It was exactly as Qu Yang said; among the four of them, only he was alive. These three people could not even be called people anymore. It was more accurate to call them dry wood; their bones were withered and there was no intact piece of meat left on their bodies. Seeing these three corpses, Mo Wuji could only sigh in his heart. He didn¡¯t know these people. It could be said that these people managed to survive and come to the Immortal World because of him. They wouldn¡¯t have expected that when they got to the Immortal World, they would be killed over a single sentence by a b*stard like Wan Mi. If Mo Wuji knew about this beforehand, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have let Wan Mi have such a simple death. "Brother Qu, are you willing to follow me back to Ping Fan?" Mo Wuji invited Qu Yang. However, he could guess that with Qu Yang¡¯s pride, Qu Yang probably wouldn¡¯t follow him. Indeed, Qu Yang said, "I know that if I go to Ping Fan Immortal School, my path would be smoother. However, I swore that I would definitely rebuild the Absolute Saber Sect in the Immortal World one day. Thus, I cannot follow Brother Mo." "Then Brother Qu, take care of yourself. Also, I have to request Brother Qu to help me take care of the funerals of these few friends." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Qu Yang, then he bowed towards the three withered corpses. After which, he retrieved his flying car and sped off with Shuai Guo, Da Huang and Mo Qingche." He didn¡¯t directly give Qu Yang a storage ring; when he left, he secretly slipped a ring on Qu Yang¡¯s finger. By the time Qu Yang calms himself down, he would naturally notice it. "Go, let¡¯s also go to Ping Fan immortal Sect. After Ping Fan emerges from its encirclement, I will be the first to follow Sect Head Mo to storm the Very High Heavens." The moment Mo Wuji left, someone within the crowd shouted. "Right. Also, we should spread the disgraceful deeds of the Very High Heavens to all the Immortal Domains. We must let everyone open their eyes and see the true appearance of the Very High Heavens." ¡­ The area around Ping Fan Immortal School was indeed sealed. The ones that sealed it were five Grand Emperors, namely Great Sword Path¡¯s Yi Minghu, Lightning Sect¡¯s Lei Guyun, Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Jin Yusheng. There were also two Grand Emperors from the Very High Heavens, one was Dao Emperor Zi Changluo¡¯s loyal subordinate, Ping Lishang, and the other was the Jin Clan¡¯s Jin Yu. Ping Fan Immortal School was built on the edge of Extreme Glade Sea, a portion of it was even built on Extreme Glade Sea itself. Under the combined attack of many experts, Ping Fan¡¯s herb farm and immortal city had already been destroyed. Countless simple immortals and mortals were killed. Even so, Ping Fan had not been completely broken through. It was rumoured that when the Very High Heavens first invaded Ping Fan Immortal School, an expert passed by. This expert had driven away the experts from the Very High Heavens. After this expert sent the men from the Very High Heavens¡¯ away, that expert didn¡¯t stay in Ping Fan for long. It was just that before this expert left, this expert left a defensive array over Ping Fan that was far above Grade 9 immortal arrays. Even the Grand Emperors of the Very High Heavens weren¡¯t able to forcefully break this array apart. However, the most powerful of defensive arrays will still experience a day of its destruction. After multiple years of attack on the defensive array, Ping Fan had been forced into a corner. One could imagine that this array would eventually be collapsed. ¡­ Mo Wuji stood outside Ping Fan Immortal School. It was exactly as he heard: Ping Fan¡¯s territory had been sealed. Outside the seals, there was a sign: Ping Fan Immortal School opposes the Dao and disrupts the order of Immortal World. Their Sect Head, Mo Wuji, bullies the weak and behaves arrogantly. By orders of the Very High Heavens, Ping Fan Immortal School will be destroyed, all living things will be killed¡­ Below this sign, there were also the imprints of several huge sects. The most conspicuous ones were from Great Sword Path, Lightning Path, Vast Ocean Immortal School, Mirage Mountain, and Immortal Universe Sword School. What left Mo Wuji confused was that he didn¡¯t see the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. And if that wasn¡¯t enough, he also didn¡¯t see Lun Cai¡¯s Unfettered Emperor Palace. Logically, Lun Cai should he the person that was most eager to kill him. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual eye could see through the seals clearly, the outer fringes of Ping Fan Immortal Sect had already been reduced into a wasteland. Chen San said that Ping Fan Immortal School was slightly broken, but at this instant, Mo Wuji could see that it was far from that. In fact, Ping Fan had already been forced into the Extreme Glade Sea itself. Mo Wuji could also see why Ping Fan was still standing. It was because someone had installed an additional peak grade array around Ping Fan; this array was one that even he couldn¡¯t install. He could only feel some signs of the immortal sealing array from it. Mo Wuji then saw the cultivators attacking the array. He inhaled deeply. The killing intent in his heart now was far greater than when he was dealing with the Gods Race. Even Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who were standing by Mo Wuji¡¯s side, could clearly feel Mo Wuji¡¯s killing intent. Mo Wuji opened his hand and the Half Moon Weighted Halberd appeared in his palm. He didn¡¯t know how long it had been since he used his Half Moon Immortal Halberd. At this instant, only the Half Moon Weighted Halberd could fully display his killing intent and rage. "Boom!" His Half Moon Immortal Halberd conjured a huge halberd light. With a flash of the halberd light, it struck right at the core of the seals. The seal formed by the five Grand Emperors were directly turned into dust by this single halberd slash. "Who dares to attack the seal?" An early stage Immortal Emperor shouted harshly. Before he even revealed himself, a blinding light came shooting towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even falter. He only took half a step forward and that light directly dissipated. Following which, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd moved lightly. This early stage Immortal Emperor didn¡¯t even have the chance to speak; he was sliced in half and his primordial spirit had shattered. There were thousands of people encircling Ping Fan Immortal School; the lowest cultivation here was already at the Grand Luo Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji saw seven Immortal Emperors and there were four Grand Emperors among them. When Mo Wuji killed that early stage Immortal Emperor, all the attackers reacted. They stopped their attacks on the array and stared at Mo Wuji warily. "This Emperor is the Very High Heavens¡¯s Ping Lishang. Who are you? Why did you destroy my Very High Heavens¡¯ seal? Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Immortal World?" An icy-cold voice sounded. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even answer. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured millions of halberd light; these halberd light then transformed into a huge span of desert. No life seemed capable of surviving in this grand desert. As Grand Desert was forming, three silver rivers came cascading down from the sky. Winding River was majestic and brimming with killing intent. After Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness strengthened, his Winding River had become more powerful. If not because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want anyone to escape, he would have sent five of his Winding River down. "This person is Mo Wuji. Everyone, attack together¡­" Lei Guyun shouted harshly. Seeing that Mo Wuji had the galls to attack them, killing intent rushed into his mind. Mo Wuji wanted to kill him, Lei Guyun. He, Lei Guyun, also wanted to kill Mo Wuji. Thus, the moment he saw Mo Wuji, he instantly pounced towards Mo Wuji. The first one to respond to Lei Guyun was Vast Ocean Immortal School¡¯s Jin Yusheng. When Jin Yu saw Mo Wuji, he also eagerly charged over. He followed behind Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng. He was clearer than anyone else about how terrifying Mo Wuji was. However, he also needed to be close to snatch the stuff on Mo Wuji. Only he knew exactly how many priceless treasures Mo Wuji had. "Pff! Pff! Pff!" Multiple mists of blood formed. Under Mo Wuji¡¯s halberd light, except the Immortal Emperors and some powerful Immortal Reverents, no one survived. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three silver rivers came cascading down. The Immortal Emperors that were under the river were directly sliced in half. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother about the cultivators that he had easily squashed. Instead, he welcomed the oncoming Lei Guyun with a finger. No one will escape from this place alive; he will no longer show any mercy. Under this finger, the sky started to change colour and the clouds started to tremble. Chapter 861: Exterminate Chapter 861: Exterminate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The entire world was beneath this finger. This finger had controlled this entire World of Man. At this moment, the original Laws began to shatter and dao energy was reorganised This finger wanted to change the Heaven and Earth within this World of Man; the owner of this finger was going to control all life, death and reincarnation within this World. "Boom! Kacha!" Lei Guyun had already hurled his lightning hammer; it transformed into a leviathan-like lightning ball which went to welcome this finger. If not for this finger, the world beneath this hammer would be his, Lei Guyun¡¯s, world; it would be run under his, Lei Guyun¡¯s, Laws. In fact, he already envisioned Mo Wuji being burned into bits of dust by his lightning hammer. Unfortunately, because of Mo Wuji¡¯s finger, this Heaven and Earth had become the World of Man. All Laws were determined by this finger, and not his lightning hammer. The Laws within the lightning ball shattered and the lightning ball, itself, exploded into millions of arcs of lightning which filled the air. "Pff!" A hole of blood formed in the middle of Lei Guyun¡¯s forehead. At the same instant, his primordial spirit withered and his life force started to rapidly seep away. "So strong." Lei Guyun¡¯s eyes started to turn dull. He was not strong enough to defend against Mo Wuji¡¯s finger; thus, he could only die. Remorse and longing could be seen in his eyes; he knew that his Lightning Sect was screwed. With his ability at the Grand Emperor Stage, he could not even resist a finger of Mo Wuji¡¯s. It would be weird if his Lightning Sect was able to survive. At this instant he died, he understood one principle: Even the strongest sect could not allow greed to blind its eyes. If not for the Lightning Sect¡¯s Qi Junyi who killed Yuan Yi for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, would all these troubles have befallen them? He was also wrong. The moment Mo Wuji destroyed the Great Sword Path, he should have immediately pulled his Lightning Sect out. This idea sank into his mind, then it turned into eternal darkness. No one would ever know what that trace of longing in his eyes was for. If Lei Guyun managed to get a chance to attack Mo Wuji because he was the first to move, then that Jin Yusheng didn¡¯t have a single chance at all. He didn¡¯t even manage to bring out his magic treasure before the World of Man directly exploded him into a mist of blood. Perhaps he was the only Grand Emperor in the entire Immortal World that died in such a depressing way. He didn¡¯t even expect that Lei Guyun was unable to block Mo Wuji¡¯s finger, leaving him with no chance to resist as well. Jin Yu was the last among the three and he was also on guard against Mo Wuji. When Lei Guyun was killed, his heart instantly sank. Mo Wuji was far more impressive than he had predicted; the moment Lei Guyun was killed by that finger, he knew that Mo Wuji was no longer someone that his Jin Clan could go against. He frantically retreated. Fortunately for him, he had a Jin Yusheng in front of him. By the time Jin Yusheng had been reduced into a mist of blood, Jin Yu had managed to bring out a huge war drum. At the same time, he had already retreated to more than 300 meters away. Still, he didn''t slow down. He continued to rapidly flee backwards. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Sect Head Mo, my Jin Clan is wiling to offer you a compensation for this matter. If you kill me, you would be creating enemies out of my Jin Clan¡­" "Boom!" The Seven World Finger''s First World Killer, the World of Man, finally crashed against Jin Yu''s huge drum. "Dong! Kacha!" Jin Yu''s drum emitted an ear-splitting sound as it was ripped through. Thereafter, it thoroughly exploded into millions of pieces. Mo Wuji could feel that the World of Man within this finger had finally ended. He heaved a sigh of relief as he retrieved a talisman. Before he could even use that talisman to escape, he felt the entire Heaven and Earth overturning. In this overturned Heaven and Earth, he wasn''t even comparable to an ant. Within this overturned Heaven and Earth, he saw a world. This was a world created by a finger. Within this world, all objects were destroyed. He, Jin Yu, wasn''t lucky; he had become one of the members of this world. "This finger actually has a Second World Killer. So strong¡­" After Jin Yu muttered those words, he was turned into juice by the Second World Killer. The Second World Killer didn''t end just because of that. After killing Jin Yu, it''s horrifying killing intent continued to sweep outwards. If was like a surging wave of knives. All cultivators struck by this wave of knives were sliced apart. No one was spared. It was just one finger. After that finger, the Heaven and Earth finally calmed down. If there was still any noise, it would be from Mo Wuji''s Grand Desert halberd light. Anyone that was mired in the Grand Desert was soon shredded into nothingness by the halberd light. The only remaining Grand Emperor, Ping Lishang, stared at Mo Wuji in a daze. He had never met someone as powerful as Mo Wuji before. He wasn¡¯t an inexperienced person that had been living in a well. He, Ping Lishang, had even stayed in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos for a long period of time. Which experts has he not seen before? However, he clearly never met any expert that was as powerful as Mo Wuji. He was sure that Zi Changluo wasn¡¯t as powerful as Mo Wuji. Not only that, when compared to Mo Wuji, Zi Changluo wasn¡¯t only off by one or two points. Their difference could be comparable to the difference between the Heaven and the Earth. "Sect Head Mo, there must be some misunderstanding. It should be Jin Yu, that b*stard, that incited the Dao Emperor¡¯s anger¡­" How could Ping Lishang dare to battle with Mo Wuji? Seeing that even Grand Emperor Ping Lishang didn¡¯t dare to attack, the surviving thousand of cultivators didn¡¯t even dare to make a single move. All of them stared at Mo Wuji in aghast; they had all completely forgotten that they were calling for Mo Wuji¡¯s death not long ago. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t speak. Instead, he closed his eyes. The remaining thousand of survivors appeared within his mind. These people destroyed his home; they had killed his family and his friends. To him, there was no misunderstanding. Just because the wolf pack stopped attacking, it didn¡¯t mean that he would do the same. At this moment, his whirlpool domain burst forth explosively. In an instant, he enveloped everyone within his domain. "He wants to exterminate all of us. We need to hurry and attack." When Ping Lishang saw Mo Wuji¡¯s actions, he knew that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have the intentions of sparing them. However, it was all too late. When fighting against an expert stronger than you, you would have to fight with more than 100% of your power. Mo Wuji¡¯s power was already far stronger than all of them, but now, these people even let Mo Wuji take the initiative. Once again, his Grand Desert swept outwards; the halberd light within the Grand Desert was multiple times stronger than before. At this time, Mo Wuji had already killed three Grand Emperors. The only Grand Emperor left was Ping Lishang and the remaining Immortal Emperors were only at the early stage. There was no need for him to hold back any longer. Within the Grand Desert, there was no Winding River. Instead, boundless lightning began to descend from the sky. Halberd light swept across the ground while lightning bolts danced around the sky. Mournful cries for mercy could be heard. When these people were killing the disciples of Ping Fan, they only felt glee and excitement. When it was their turn to be killed, they only felt endless fear. At this moment, the wastelands of Ping Fan Immortal School had become an Asura Hell. With Mo Wuji¡¯s savage attacks, no one was spared. When the final lightning bolt disappeared and the Grand Desert dispersed, this entire wasteland had turned into a charred mess of corpses. The only one remaining was Ping Lishang. Ping Lishang didn¡¯t die. He knew that it wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t kill him, but because Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t killed him. Just now, he had tried umpteen times to break out of Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain and Grand Desert, but all his efforts were in vain. Perhaps if they had initially prepared an array when they first saw Mo Wuji, some of them might have been able to flee. However, when they faced Mo Wuji as a scattered bunch of crows, they were simply extending their necks in preparation for an execution. "Pff!" A halberd light directly shot through Ping Lishang¡¯s Mind Palace. As it destroyed his sea of consciousness, it also prevented him from being able to commit suicide. "Say it then. Who was the one who wanted to destroy my Ping Fan Immortal School? If you are straightforward, I will also give you a straightforward death. But if dare to take your time, then you would come to regret it." Mo Wuji stared at Ping Lishang calmly. Ping Lishang didn¡¯t even utter any words of resistance. Similarly, he said calmly, "The Jin Clan knows that you have peerless treasures on you. At the same time, Dao Emperor Zi Changluo believes that you should not have offended the Gods Race and implicated the Very High Heavens." Mo Wuji knew that Ping Lishang wasn¡¯t bluffing. He opened his hand and Ping Lishang was directly killed. Sweeping across the area, thousands of storage rings were swept away. Thereafter, he gathered those corpses into a small mountain. Throwing a ball of flames at them, these corpses burned into nothingness. Even though such a huge battle had occurred, there wasn¡¯t a stir within Ping Fan Immortal School. Clearly, Ping Fan was shrouded by a thin veil of fog as they were forced into the Extreme Glade Sea. Mo Wuji had spent some time in the immortal sealing area before. He could tell that this defensive array has the marks of the immortal sealing array. It was just that the person who installed this array had limited materials, which was why the array wasn¡¯t perfect. Even so, Mo Wuji was clear that he wasn¡¯t able to break through this array in a short period of time. This was even in account of the fact that he had stayed in the immortal sealing array and had some understandings towards it. Otherwise, he might not be able to break through it even if he spent years. Mo Wuji also understood why he didn¡¯t receive any responses to his messages; it was due to this array. "Big Brother, you are far too strong. I am sure that the strongest person in the Immortal World of my Dragon Race is also no match for you." Yan Li was the first to run over, his voice was filled with admiration. Mo Qingche also came over. The time that she spent in the Immortal World with her grandfather felt like centuries. She didn¡¯t know that a situation where the Very High Heavens and huge sect gang up against a sect like Ping Fan might not happen even after a million years. However, this incident had influenced her deeply. She did not know the reason behind this incident. She only knew that she had to become strong; she had to become much stronger. Otherwise, her time in the Immortal World might not even be as long as it would have been on Earth. Mo Wuji retrieved a jade letter and passed it to Yan Li, "Yan Li, these are the original plans I used to develop Ping Fan previously. Now, this place has already been turned into a wasteland. Help me to rebuild the sect." "Grandpa, I can also help," Mo Qingche hurriedly said. Mo Wuji nodded, "You can follow Yan Li to find people to rebuild it. The payment matters can be left to Da Huang." As he was speaking, Mo Wuji passed a storage ring to Da Huang, "Da Huang, the few of you help to rebuild the sect. I want to open this array. Opening this array will not be a matter of one or two days, even for me." Even though Mo Wuji eagerly wanted to exterminate Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School, he still resisted his intentions. Ping Fan had been forced into a corner and no news came from within. Mo Wuji was worried; he needed to open this array before doing anything else. Chapter 862: Broken Soul Man Chapter 862: Broken Soul Man Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was originally a Grade 9 Immortal Array Master. After refining the first layer of the Sage Dao Talisman, his understanding towards arrays only got more profound. The defensive array around Ping Fan immortal School was based on Ji Li¡¯s understanding towards the Gods Tower¡¯s immortal sealing array. What kind of people were sealed in the immortal sealing array? There¡¯s no need to talk about Immortal Emperors, even Dao Emperors were considered ants within the immortal sealing area. Mo Wuji considered himself as a person who had spent time within the immortal sealing array. He believed that he would be able to break through this array in a short period of time. But just when Mo Wuji truly got into the intricacies within this array, he finally knew what he was facing. Even though Ji Li¡¯s methods were only an imperfect imitation of the original immortal sealing array, Mo Wuji still felt that he was facing a sea of smoke. No wonder why these people spent years but they were still unable to break through this array. Mo Wuji soon went deep into breaking this array. In just a short time, a thin layer of mist formed around him. Within this mist, array runes were flowing incessantly. If a person who liked arrays was by Mo Wuji¡¯s side now, he would definitely learn a lot. As Mo Wuji was trying to break through Ping Fan Immortal School¡¯s defensive array, Yan Li and co. were rebuilding Ping Fan according to the original plans. In reality, Yan Li didn¡¯t even need to go off searching for help. Not only after Mo Wuji returned to Ping Fan, countless immortals came over. Most of these people came from beyond Ding Po Immortal City. They all heard of Mo Wuji¡¯s revelations of the misdeeds of the Very High Heavens. Moreover, the resources that Mo Wuji gave Da Huang were as plentiful as the hair on a cow. Because of that, the reconstruction of Ping Fan was visible to the naked eye. Not only that, when Chen San arrived, Chen San arranged for the expansion of Ping Fan. The huge herb farm was rebuilt and a wide blue jade path extended into the distance. Besides this, an entire immortal city was built. As more people surged to Ping Fan Immortal School to take part in the reconstruction, more news was spread out. Almost everyone in the seven Immortal Domains knew of the Very High Heavens¡¯ misdeeds. The news of Mo Wuji killing close to 20 Immortal Emperors, including four Grand Emperors, as well as the thousands of cultivators that were involved in the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School was also spread. In a single night, Lightning Sect suddenly disappeared. No one knew where they went. Lightning Sect wasn¡¯t the only one; Vast Ocean Immortal School also disappeared. As for sects like Mirage Mountain and Empty Mirror Immortal Dao, they had vanished even before the Lightning Sect. Grand Emperor Yi Minghu also suddenly disappeared. Great Sword Path, which was in the process of reconstruction, was completely abandoned. ¡­ Within the Ping Fan Immortal School, the only things left displayed at the entrance of the Discussion Hall were the two huge stone tablets engraved by Mo Wuji. One of the stone tablets wrote ¡®Ping Fan¡¯ while the other wrote: One¡¯s Dao Can Differ, But All Men Are Equal. These were brought in by Ping Fan Immortal School¡¯s substitute Sect Head Su Zi¡¯An when they retreated. In Su Zi¡¯An¡¯s eyes, Ping Fan Immortal School was established by Mo Wuji. These two stone tablets were left behind by Sect Head Mo. Ping Fan Immortal School could be destroyed, but as long as these two stone tablets remained, there would be a day when Ping Fan would be rebuilt. Within the Discussion Hall, Su Zi¡¯An had a haggard expression on his face. Those years ago, Ping Fan Immortal School was huge and powerful. But now, only 20 over people remained and were in this Discussion Hall. Before the innermost defensive array of Ping Fan Immortal School could be activated, they suffered with a disastrous number of casualties. Among the Immortal Emperors that established Ping Fan with Mo Wuji, Wei Zidao had suffered heavy injuries while Nie Chongan had died in the battle. Besides them, Cha Rui and Lu Ming had also been killed. Su Zi¡¯An looked at the increasingly gloomy hall and said solemnly, "Those years ago, Sect Head Mo established Ping Fan Immortal School so that we could have a safe and stable place to cultivate. Who can blame reality for being so cruel? Some people do not allow for such a safe place to exist in the Immortal World. If Senior Ji Li did not help us install this peerless array those years ago, protecting the core of our Ping Fan Immortal School, we would have perished a long time ago. Our comrades who fought together with us those years ago are now either dead or injured. Yesterday night, I went to take a look at the array core that Senior Ji Li left behind. Out of the 108 array flags, only 18 remain. I believe, in half a year or even less than that, our Ping Fan Immortal School¡¯s final layer of arrays would be completely broken¡­" The other people in the Discussion Hall all knew what Su Zi¡¯An was saying. If all 108 array flags that Senior Ji Li left behind were destroyed, it would mean that their final place of sanctuary would soon be torn apart. "Now, I want to hear everyone¡¯s opinions." Seeing the silence in the Discussion Hall, Su Zi¡¯An could only continue. Wei Zidao had suffered heavy injuries which he had yet to recover from. Even so, he had come to the Discussion Hall. In Ping Fan Immortal School, Su Zi¡¯An was the substitute sect head appointed by Mo Wuji. On the other hand, Wei Zidao was a Grand Emperor and was the most powerful person in Ping Fan. Thus, his opinions were also extremely important. When they saw that no one came forward to speak, both Wei Zidao and Su Zi¡¯An knew that the people here all knew that their chances of survival were bleak. Wei Zidao suddenly shouted loudly, "Immortal Friends, when everyone was trapped in Sword Prison, none of us thought that we could escape. Even I, Wei Zidao, was filled with despair, But, Sect Head Mo went to Sword Prison out of his own initiative. In fact, I believe that Sect Head Mo is the first person to do that. When he did, not only did he save all of us, he even destroyed the owners of Sword Prison, the Great Sword Path. I¡¯m not the only one here that escaped from Sword Prison; most of us were from Sword Prison. Everyone, tell me. Is the despair that we¡¯re feeling today comparable to the despair we felt in Sword Prison?" "No!" Including Su Zi¡¯An, ten over people in the Discussion Hall responded loudly. Revered Protector Wei was right. Back then, they were even able to escape from Sword Prison alive. Now, they had yet to lose all hope. How could this compare? Waiting for the crowd to calm down, Su Zi¡¯An said with greater solemnity, "Perhaps we don¡¯t have a choice. If all our array flags shatter, then we have to fight the invaders whose powers far exceed us and face their massacre. I remember that the Sect Head said this once before: Do not let your fate be controlled in the hands of others. Thus, I would like to proclaim right now. We will not wait for all the array flags to shatter. We will charge out and fight. Even if we only kill one person, it would not be for waste." Some people immediately stood up and expressed their agreement. At the same time, some remained silent. If offered a choice between life and death, no one would be willing to pick death. If they opened the array now, they would be sending themselves to death. Su Zi¡¯An slowed down his words, "I know that everyone still hopes for a miracle. In reality, I am sure that by now, only 17 array flags remain." "I agree with Senior Uncle Su¡¯s words. We will fight our way out," Fu Jingfeng stood up and said loudly. With the wealth of cultivation resources in Ping Fan Immortal School, Fu Jingfeng had already opened a total of 103 meridians and was at the True Lake Stage. To be honest, the True Lake Stage might be of influence in the cultivation world. However, in the Immortal World, this cultivation wasn¡¯t even comparable to ants. Su Zi¡¯An waved his hand towards Fu Jingfeng and said, "It¡¯s the exact opposite for you. You need to take the two stone tablets and leave. I hope that the revered words left behind by the Sect Head would be able to protect you. You are the disciple of the Sect Head. If the Sect Head doesn¡¯t return, you must be the one to rebuild Ping Fan Immortal School." "Senior Uncle, I rather die in battle than to leave by myself," Fu Jingfeng didn¡¯t hesitate to say. Just as Su Zi¡¯An was able to speak, Dou Hualong hurriedly rushed over. He had a look of delight on his face as he said, "Senior Uncle Su, there are still 18 array flags and they are no longer flashing." Hearing these words, not only Su Zi¡¯An stood up in surprise, everyone else also stood up. Since the attack on Ping Fan Immortal School¡¯s final layer of arrays, the array flags had never stopped flashing. Now that the array flags had stopped flashing, it meant that no one was attacking them. "Could the Sect Head have returned?" Su Zi¡¯An said emotionally. Dou Hualong promptly replied, "It must definitely be Big Brother. Only Big Brother¡¯s return would stop those pricks from attacking our Ping Fan Immortal School." "Right, Master must have returned." Fu Jingfeng was also incomparably excited. He had deep feelings for Mo Wuji. In his life, he only had three people he was close with: his Master Mo Wuji, his current Senior Aunt Lian Yingxian, and his Grandpa Yu Cheng. His Grandpa Yu Cheng had left Extreme Glade Sea while his Senior Aunt Lian Yingxian left Ping Fan Immortal School together with Han Qingru. Now, the only person left was Mo Wuji. Naturally, he was extremely happy with Mo Wuji¡¯s return. ¡­ Very High Heavens. Compared to the Immortal World, the Laws of the Heaven and Earth here were far more complete. Not only that, the immortal spiritual energy here was not something the Immortal World could hope to compete with. If Mo Wuji came to the Very High Heavens, he would really think that this was the Southern Heavenly Gate and the Emperor¡¯s Palace [1]. The Very High Heavens¡¯ Dao Emperor Palace was built in a place surrounded by spiritual clouds. Broad steps of white jade extended up towards the palace. By the sides of the staircase, there were immortals holding enforcer weapons. Zi Changluo wore a crown on his head. At this moment, he had an overcast expression as he sat at the highest point of the Dao Emperor Hall. At the two sides of the hall, were also two rows of immortals. Anyone that could stand in this hall was either an Immortal Emperor or exceptional characters. Because of Zi Changluo¡¯s expression, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and heavy. "Dao Emperor, Ping Lishang¡¯s soul tablet has shattered. It¡¯s possible that he might have met that expert that once stayed in the Immortal World. According to the words of that person from the Jin Clan, that expert should be from above." Feeling the tense atmosphere, a yellow-bearded man beside Zi Changluo said softly. Zi Changluo had two loyal followers. One was Ping Lishang, while the other was this yellow-bearded man, Gongshu Shipan. Those years ago, Gongshu Xiang, the person who chased Yan Yuerong out of the Human Race was this Gongshu Shipan¡¯s nephew. Zi Changluo waved his hand, "No, that expert has already left the Immortal World. There¡¯s no doubt about that. I¡¯m definitely right about this. Lishang¡¯s death should be due to another reason¡­" After a short pause, Zi Changluo suddenly stood up. His voice was lined with slight madness as he cried, "Men, go to the Soul Seal Prison. Bring the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin, over. No, Shipan, you personally bring Zhu Yin over." [1] These are references to the Heavenly Court of the Jade Emperor of Chinese Mythology. Chapter 863: Vicious Person Chapter 863: Vicious Person Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Few in Very High Heavens know of the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin. However, as Zi Changluo¡¯s right-hand men, Gongshu Shipan and Ping Lishang both knew of Zhu Yin all too well. When this person first came to the Immortal World, not only did he have an extremely rapid cultivation pace, he also had a vicious character. If anyone dared to offend him, they practically lost their chances in life. The more absurd thing was that this person killed cultivators above his level as easily as breathing. When he was merely a Grand Yi Immortal, he was able to kill a Grand Luo Immortal. When he was a Grand Luo Immortal, he could easily slaughter Immortal Kings. Besides some extreme geniuses, who in the Immortal World could kill Immortal Kings while in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage? Even if a person did achieve that, it would be a rare incident and he would have to fight all-out. However, Zhu Yin killed Immortal Kings as commonly as one would have a home-cooked meal. Even if he was in an immortal city drinking tea, if an Immortal King said anything that offended him, he would not show any mercy. In less than a million years, Zhu Yin managed to reach the Grand Emperor Stage. In the Immortal World, unless one had some extremely fortuitous encounter, the ones that could reach the Immortal Emperor Stage within a million years were all geniuses among talents. Indeed, there were some talents like that. This was especially so for cultivators that ascended from lower worlds; their talents were extremely absurd. These people could only depend on themselves for everything, but their cultivation speeds were somehow faster. However, different Immortal Emperors have completely different levels of power. Zhu Yin was one such person with preposterously high levels of power. After he advanced to the Grand Emperor Stage, he single-handedly destroyed a top-class sect of the Immortal World. That sect was one with seven to eight Immortal Emperors, and among which were three Grand Emperors. These seven to eight people all surrounded Zhu Yin who was by himself. However, they were still annihilated; Zhu Yin only suffered some injuries. The more terrifying thing was Zhu Yin¡¯s cultivation technique. Every time he kills his opponent, his power would rise by a bit. Zhu Yin originally wanted to establish a new sect over the sect that he exterminated. In fact, many people already knew of the name of his new sect; it was called the Broken Soul Dao Sect. Zhu Yin¡¯s title, the Broken Soul Man, was also given during this time. As Zhu Yin was building his sect, he accidentally found the passage to the Very High Heavens. He immediately abandoned his intentions of building a sect in the Immortal World; he wanted to build his sect in the Very High Heavens. In reality, Zi Changluo had been alerted to Zhu Yin¡¯s existence a long time ago. Zi Changluo was the one who allowed Zhu Yin to discover the passage towards the Very High Heavens. That was when he started to act against Zhu Yin. Zhu Yin was inherently a scheming person; he actually figured out that Zi Changluo might have been luring him over. Even so, Zhu Yin did not hesitate to go towards the Very High Heavens. He had immense confidence in his own abilities. However, despite his self-confidence, he didn¡¯t expect that Zi Changluo would possess an array disc for an array which exceeded Grade 9 immortal arrays. Not only that, he didn¡¯t think that Zi Changluo would invite 17 Grand Emperors to deal with him alone. Moreover, Zi Changluo himself was a Dao Emperor that surpassed Grand Emperors. During that campaign, Zhu Yin killed eight Grand Emperors and injured four. Ultimately, Zhu Yin himself was heavily injured. Zi Changluo remembered that Zhu Yin cultivated the Broken Dao Technique, which was why he wasn¡¯t willing to kill Zhu Yin, Instead, he imprisoned Zhu Yin in the Soul Seal Prison. Before imprisoning Zhu Yin, Zi Changluo refined Zhu Yin¡¯s mind and vital blood. As long as Zi Changluo wanted it, he could kill Zhu Yin at any time he wanted. After years of continuous interrogation, Zi Changluo finally came to understand part of Zhu Yin¡¯s cultivation technique. Indeed, Zhu Yin was cultivating a malicious cultivation technique. This technique allowed one to devour the other party¡¯s soul to strengthen one¡¯s sea of consciousness. The most shocking part was that this technique actually didn¡¯t have any side-effects. A person¡¯s strength was largely determined his sea of consciousness. Zhu Yin¡¯s sea of consciousness was abnormally strong, which was why he was much stronger than those in the same stage. Zi Changluo¡¯s own cultivation technique had already taken form. He wanted to research on how he could integrate this Broken Dao Technique into his own cultivation technique, so he didn¡¯t think of Zhu Yin for a long time. This time, the Very High Heavens met with a serious problem in the Immortal World; Ping Lishang wasn¡¯t the only person that died. Clearly, his opponent was no weaker than him. This was why he was reminded of Zhu Yin. Before Gongshu Shipan returned, a flying messenger sword landed in Zi Changluo¡¯s hands. Zi Changluo¡¯s face instantly turned ugly. He didn¡¯t think that this problem was caused by Mo Wujil. Not only did Mo Wuji return, he even brought people with him to the Immortal World. ¡­ Gongshu Shipan soon brought a wretched looking man to the Dao Emperor Hall. If one didn''t use spiritual will go probe, one would only see a long-haired monster that released a peculiar smell and aura. If one did use spiritual will to observe this man, you''ll discover that the eyes veiled by his hair looked empty; this man seemed completely numb. "Zhu Yin, you committed a grave crime. Even if you were killed a million times, it still wouldn''t be enough to atone for your actions. But now, I''m giving you a chance at redemption," Zi Changluo harrumphed harshly when he saw this monster. Clearly, this wretched looking freak was Zhu Yin. Zhu Yin seemed as though he hadn''t heard Zi Changluo''s words; his two eyes remained blank and empty. Zi Changluo, however, revealed an expression of contentment. Suddenly, he patted his forehead and a talisman shot towards Zhu Yin''s forehead. Thereafter, he brought out a crystal ball and passed it to Zhu Yin, "This man is Mo Wuji. He is at a place called Ping Fan Immortal School. You will immediately go to him and kill him. If you see anyone around him, you will kill them. All living things in Ping Fan Immortal School will be killed." "Kill, kill¡­" Zhu Yin repeatedly muttered that word. "That''s right, kill them all." Zi Changluo acknowledged solemnly. His voice seemed to penetrate deep into Zhu Yin''s mind. After hearing these words, Zhu Yin instantly burst forth will killing intent. He lifted his head and his eyes were revealed; they were filled with viciousness. It seemed as though everything in front of him should be killed. Zi Changluo heaved a sigh of relief, then he said to Gongshu Shipan, "Shipan, you and Hu Chisheng will bring 10 experts of the Very High Heavens with this Zhu Yin. At the same time, bring an army of immortals to raze Ping Fan Immortal School to the ground. Kill that Mo Wuji on sight. Ai, this injury of mine. It''s truly not the right time." "Yes," Gongshu Shipan bowed and said. At the same time, a man with a blurred face walked out from the row on Zi Changluo''s right. People of the Very High Heavens know of him as Hu Chisheng, but no one knew of his origins. This was because he never made any friends. Gongshu Shipan then picked another seven people in the hall. Thereafter, he brought these people and left with Zhu Yin. Zi Changluo stood up. He looked at Gongshu Shipan''s gradually fading silhouette with a solemn expression. His eyes were filled with satisfaction; even though he was injured, there were still people in the Very High Heavens that were willing to step forward. Actually, no one knew that his injury had already recovered. Logically, facing someone as powerful as Mo Wuji, he should be the one that led the way. However, since the very start, Zi Changluo had never had any intentions of personally going. Ever since he heard that Mo Wuji had killed the Gods Race''s Dao Emperor Lun Pa those years ago, he never wanted to face Mo Wuji while he was only at the Dao Emperor Stage. At the same time, no one knew that after Zhu Yin left the Dao Emperor Hall, a hint of bone-chilling coldness flashed across his vicious eyes. Even if Zi Changluo was ten thousand times smarter, he might not have thought that Zhu Yin allowed himself to fall into Zi Changluo¡¯s trap. Zhu Yin had intended for himself to be captured. In terms of viciousness in cultivation, there was probably no second person in the entire world that could compare with this Zhu Yin. Not only was Zhu Yin vicious to others, he was also vicious to himself. In reality, he had reached the Grand Emperor Stage a long time ago. Because he was limited by his environment and his cultivation resources, his cultivation stagnated. After exploring the entire Immortal World, he came to know of a place called Soul Seal Prison. He knew a secret that even Zi Changluo didn''t know about: there was an extremely pure soul pool beneath Soul Seal Prison. This place was extremely important to his own Grand Dao. If he didn''t enter Soul Seal Prison, he wouldn''t be able to take another step forward in his cultivation. This was just like how Mo Wuji had to truly return to the life of a mortal if he wanted to get past the Grand Emperor Stage. This was because Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao and he was the progenitor of the Mortal Dao. Zhu Yin cultivated the Broken Dao. Similarly, he was also the progenitor of the Broken Dao. In his Broken Dao, he absorbed other cultivators¡¯ soul for his cultivation. He borrowed the souls and primordial spirits of others to strengthen his own. It was an extremely evil cultivation technique. Of course, in Zhu Yin''s eyes, there was no evil or just in cultivation techniques; there was only the strong and the weak. When this cultivation technique was cultivated to the peak, his soul and sea of consciousness faced the restraints of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth; it was extremely hard for him to take another step further. After many years of stumbling around, Zhu Yin finally understood the principle within. If he would like to break through these shackles, he would need grind away the alien dao present within his soul and sea of consciousness. Even though Zhu Yin¡¯s talent was exceedingly high and his Broken Dao was extremely impressive, his sea of consciousness could not remain pure after devouring that many souls and the dao within them. The method that Zhu Yin deduced to solve this problem was to use the Very High Heavens¡¯ Soul Seal Prison. In Soul Seal Prison, his soul would be sealed. His soul would then he tortured, depleted, tempered, and finally, perfected. Once a person enters a place like Soul Seal Prison, he would basically lose all hopes of life. If it was anyone else, he wouldn''t willingly send himself to Soul Seal Prison. However, Zhu Yin did just that. Not only that, he did it without Zi Changluo noticing his intentions. One must know that if Zi Changluo had even half an intention of killing him, then he, Zhu Yin, would undoubtedly die. After so many years of torture, he continued to persist so that his cultivation technique could be perfected. Just as he wanted to leave Soul Seal Prison, Zi Changluo provided him with the opportunity. When Zi Changluo brought him out of Soul Seal Prison, it broke the seals that the Soul Seal Prison had on him. The moment he stepped out Soul Seal Prison, he knew that his life and death was once again back within his control. The reason why he still followed Gongshu Shipan to Ping Fan Immortal School wasn''t because he wanted to help Zi Changluo deal with Mo Wuji. Instead, it was truly because he wanted to have a battle with that Mo Wuji. He, Zhu Yin, really wanted to know exactly how strong was that expert? How strong was he that even Zi Changluo was afraid? At the same time, Zhu Yin wanted to know exactly how strong had he gotten after his Broken Dao achieved a major success? Also, he wanted to treat Mo Wuji as his first meal after perfecting his cultivation technique. He only hoped that this meal wasn¡¯t a scanty one. Of course, he didn''t know that after he ascended to the Immortal World, his descendant established a Reincarnation Dao Sect in Zhen Xing. Thereafter, the Reincarnation Dao Sect was destroyed by Tian Ji Sect. Zhu Qu, another one of his descendants, then established the Broken Sect, but it was also destroyed by Mo Wuji. If he knew all this, he wouldn''t simply be going towards Mo Wuji with a meal in mind. Chapter 864: The Horrifying Zhu Yin Chapter 864: The Horrifying Zhu Yin Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations In less than a month, Mo Wuji had finally made contact with the array runes of the defensive array. These array runes and methods were definitely superior to Grade 9 immortal arrays, but they were not insanely absurd; they were suitable for Mo Wuji¡¯s current level of the Array Dao. As Mo Wuji researched into these array runes, his standard of the Array Dao continued to rise rapidly. Unknowingly, his Array Dao standards had already surpassed Grade 9 and had stepped into a newer level. This also caused Mo Wuji to know that he had previously overestimated the time he would take to open this array. This was because he didn¡¯t add his rising Array Dao standards into the calculation. Just as Mo Wuji was about to open the next layer of array foundations, he actually felt this array releasing a slight cracking sound. This definitely wasn¡¯t the sound of the array foundations opening. Instead, it was because this array had been opened from within; the people that were trapped within the array wanted to come out. At this point, Mo Wuji stopped studying the array. His heart was filled with emotions. In his mind, the first person to come out would be Han Qingru. Then, he suddenly recalled the words that Han Qingru said to him while they were in Sword Prison. "Shua!" At this moment, a fire-red flying sword landed in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. When Mo Wuji saw the message in the flying sword, his face sunk and killing intent began to revolve around him. "Sect Head, it¡¯s really you!" Su Zi¡¯An cried out in pleasant surprise. "Master¡­" "Big Brother¡­" Su Zi¡¯An, Fu Jingfeng and Dou Hualong all ran towards Mo Wuji emotionally. Mo Wuji then saw the injured Wei Zidao, as well as Jian Mingcheng. At the same time, he noticed that there many people that were not present; Nie Chongan, Cha Rui, and Lu Ming all weren¡¯t there. "Sect Head, I am to blame. Venerable Lord Nie, Deacon Cha, Lu Ming and the rest all perished in the huge battle¡­" When Su Zi¡¯An saw Mo Wuji¡¯s glee turn into confusion, he knew that the Sect Head wanted to know why so many were missing. "Then what about Qingru and Lian Yingxian?" Just as Mo Wuji asked this question, another flying sword flew over. "Han Qingru and Lian Yingxian left the sect a few years ago to temper themselves. They have yet to return," Su Zi¡¯An replied promptly. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will had already detected the large numbers of flying ships charging towards Ping Fan Immortal School. He retrieved a jade vase of pills and threw it towards Wei Zidao, "The Very High Heavens¡¯ army is here. I will go take a look." ¡­ "Sect Head Mo, Zi Changluo has personally taken action." Chen San said solemnly when he saw Mo Wuji come out. However, he wasn¡¯t all too worried; he knew that with Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities, Mo Wuji definitely had no need to fear Zi Changluo. However, he was worried about the Very High Heavens¡¯ capabilities. There were far too many experts in the Very High Heavens; if they managed to surround this place, Mo Wuji, alone, wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. "It¡¯s not Zi Changluo, but Gongshu Shipan." The one speaking was an early stage Immortal Emperor that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t recognise. Mo Wuji nodded towards the two of them. Thereafter, he brought out a stack of array flags and threw them out. Soon, Ping Fan Immortal School, which was under reconstruction, was now covered in a faint veil of mist. This wasn¡¯t the first time Mo Wuji was encircled and attacked. At his level, what was the use of superior numbers? He was only worried that Ping Fan Immortal School, which was still in the process of reconstruction, would be damaged again by the battle. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A flying ship fearlessly landed on the ground. Because they intentionally didn¡¯t control the landing, every time a ship landed, it would form a huge hole in the ground, sweeping up large patches of dust. More than ten thousand immortals from the Very High Heavens¡¯ disembarked from the ships. They soon surrounded the fringes of Ping Fan Immortal School. Compared to the organised army, the randomly ordered people on Mo Wuji¡¯s side was a perfect definition of a messy crowd. "Zi Changluo really didn¡¯t come. The person that came is Grand Emperor Gongshu Shipan, as well as Grand Emperor Cai De, Yong Yutang, Si Heyi¡­ Wait, that person is¡­" Just as Chen San was introducing the invaders to Mo Wuji, he stopped abruptly. His voice even started to tremble. "That¡¯s Zhu Yin, that¡¯s actually Zhu Yin¡­" The early-stage Immortal Emperor also recognised the person next to Gongshu Shipan; his voice also became filled with fear. "Who is Zhu Yin?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. He turned towards that emaciated man with messy hair; Chen San and this early stage Immortal Emperor seemed to be afraid of this person. Before this early stage Immortal Emperor could reply, Gongshu Shipan had already walked to the front of Mo Wuji and he said coldly, "You don¡¯t need to know much about Zhu Yin. You only need to know that he is the person that will kill you¡­ Zhu Yin, kill this man¡­" Just as Gongshu Shipan finished his words, Mo Wuji sensed a terrifying burst of killing intent. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t make a move; he could sense that this killing intent wasn¡¯t aimed towards him. "Zhu Yin, you¡­" Gongshu Shipan only managed to say these three words when he heard his bones shattering and his sea of consciousness collapsing. "Remember, no one can order me. You simply took a step towards death before Zi Changluo. Even though your soul is just ordinary, I will be keeping it." These words were the last words that Gongshu Shipan would hear in his entire life. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes turned serious. Gongshu Shipan was no weaker than Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng. However, this expert¡¯s neck was actually easily broken by this emaciated man and his soul had also been devoured. Others might not be able to see this emaciated man eat Gongshu Shipan¡¯s soul, but he, Mo Wuji, could see it very clearly. Mo Wuji was extremely clear that this fella was no weaker than him. Zhu Yin¡¯s dao aura was complete and his aura was majestic. This person definitely wasn¡¯t an ordinary Grand Emperor or Dao Emperor. "He is the Broken Soul Man, Zhu Yin." Chen San caught his breath and muttered. Broken Soul Man Zhu Yin? Who is this person? He had never heard of such a person before. "It¡¯s said that this person is the progenitor of the Broken Dao. He massacred countless lives in the Immortal World and he exterminated no less than 30 sects. The number of experts that died by his hands is more than one could count. Thereafter, he discovered the passage towards the Very High Heavens and he went to challenge Zi Changluo. Thereafter, he was never seen again. Everyone thought that he was dead. No one would have thought that he had actually changed sides¡­" Chen San didn¡¯t continue any further. He originally wanted to say that the Broken Soul Man Zhu Yin had changed sides and joined Zi Changluo. However, Gongshu Shipan was the right-hand man of Zi Changluo, and Zhu Yin had just killed Gongshu Shipan. No matter how he looked at it, it didn¡¯t seem as though Zhu Yin had turned to Zi Changluo¡¯s side. The other Grand Emperors that came with Gongshu Shipan all subconsciously took a few steps back. Zhu Yin had actually killed Gongshu Shipan. "You are Mo Wuji? Let me have a taste of your soul and primordial spirit. Don¡¯t leave me disappointed." Zhu Yin bore his deathly pale teeth and stared at Mo Wuji. He didn¡¯t guess wrong, nor did he see wrong. Mo Wuji, who Zi Changluo sent him over to deal with, was definitely not a simple person. He was not a person that someone like Gongshu Shipan could hope to compare with. Even if Mo Wuji¡¯s aura was any more ordinary, he, Zhu Yin, would not disregard him because of this ordinariness. Mo Wuji turned to Chen San and co. and said, "You guys leave immediately." "Yes." Chen San and co. all knew that against a person like Zhu Yin, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to be of help. If they stayed here, they would only become the souls that Zhu Yin could use to replenish his strength. After Chen San and co. retreated, Mo Wuji turned to Zhu Yin and said, "These people that you brought over are too annoying. It would influence the battle between me and you, so I want to get rid of this trash." Zhu Yin chuckled loudly, "This is simple¡­" He opened his hand wide and a huge imprint formed in the sky. Below this imprint, a whole new world of Laws seemed to have formed. The immortal army that Gongshu Shipan brought over was basically filled with experts that were in the Grand Luo Immortal Stage and above. However, the moment Zhu Yin¡¯s imprint Laws formed above them, none of them was able to escape. Thereafter, they could only see as mists of blood began to explode below this imprint. Mo Wuji could see loads of primordial spirits and souls being devoured by Zhu Yin. He could feel his skull turning numb. No wonder why Chen San and co. were so afraid of Zhu Yin; this fella wasn¡¯t even a human. When those other Grand Emperors saw this, they frantically tried to break out of Zhu Yin¡¯s world. Zhu Yin snickered, "You are in the world of my, Zhu Yin¡¯s, Laws. You still think you can escape?" As he was speaking, Zhu Yin pointed his finger towards them. The moment his finger pointed at a person, that person would explode into a mist of blood. These Grand Emperors didn¡¯t even have any chance to resist; they were killed by Zhu Yin¡¯s finger sacred art. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold. He knew that Zhu Yin¡¯s finger attack was far from comparable to his Seven World Finger. However, he also knew that his Seven World Finger couldn¡¯t kill that many Grand Emperors as easily as Zhu Yin did. The only explanation was that his abilities were far from Zhu Yin. The moment he thought of this, Zhu Yin suddenly seemed to look more terrifying. "How impressive. No wonder why this person still dared to charge towards the Very High Heavens even though he knew that Zi Changluo had a trap laid for him." Chen San saw Zhu Yin¡¯s methods and exhaled a breath of cold air. Even though Chen San spoke softly, Mo Wuji was still able to hear him. "Zhu Yin, the Dao Emperor saw that it had been hard for you to reach your cultivation level, which was why he didn¡¯t kill you. I didn¡¯t think that you would not only be so ungrateful, but you would even try to kill us. If the Dao Emperor knows of this, you would definitely be captured and sent back to Soul Seal Prison¡­" A Grand Emperor stared as Zhu Yin condensed a hand of elemental energy which loomed over him. He knew that he couldn¡¯t escape, so he could only scold as much as he wanted. Locked in Soul Seal Prison? Mo Wuji hurriedly transmitted a message to Chen San, "Immortal Friend Chen San, do you know about Soul Seal Prison?" Chen San hurriedly transmitted, "It¡¯s the most terrifying prison in the Very High Heavens. It¡¯s even more terrifying than the Great Sword Path¡¯s Sword Prison. If you are imprisoned in there, your soul and primordial spirit would be continuously eroded by icy-cold wind and burned by flaming-hot fire. Eventually, your soul would be grinded clean and you would turn into a complete idiot¡­" "You see, I already helped you exterminate these people. Come, let¡¯s have a good talk." After Zhu Yin killed the last Grand Emperor, he turned and grinned towards Mo Wuji. Under his imprint of Laws, the Very High Heavens¡¯ army continued to explode behind him. He acted as though he didn¡¯t see any of this. Mo Wuji said slowly, "Zhu Yin, your cultivation technique is not bad. You are actually able to devour the souls and primordial spirits of others and use them for your cultivation¡­" "I have some deep insights towards the devouring of souls. If you need it, you can try to restrain me and I can teach them to you," Zhu Yin grinned and said. The moment he heard these words, it seemed as though a lightning had flashed across Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. In an instant, the fear that he had towards Zhu Yin disappeared. Chapter 865: Finger Against Finger Chapter 865: Finger Against Finger Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Zi Changluo kept you imprisoned for so many years. Why didn¡¯t you kill Zi Changluo before you came to me?" Mo Wuji said indifferently. Especially vicious people have especially deep schemes. At this point, Mo Wuji was sure that Zhu Yin¡¯s entering into Soul Seal Prison wasn¡¯t because Zhu Yin was helplessly caught, but because Zhu Yin intentionally wanted to go into Soul Seal Prison. The reason why Mo Wuji could think of this was because he, himself, was the progenitor of his own Dao. In his Mortal Dao, he also needed to truly immerse himself in the life of a mortal in order to understand the true meaning within this Grand Dao. Zhu Yin¡¯s cultivation technique which was based on devouring souls was indeed evil. However, there¡¯s no need to judge whether a cultivation technique was evil or not. This was because to a cultivator, all Daos could lead to the pinnacle that they are aiming for. However, all Daos have their own form of shackles; these shackles needed to be continuously broken. Mo Wuji¡¯s own Mortal Dao also had shackles; he didn¡¯t believe that this wasn¡¯t the same for Zhu Yin¡¯s Broken Dao. His Grand Dao required him to become a true mortal in order to understand its true meaning. As for Zhu Yin¡¯s Grand Dao, it should be related to souls and primordial spirits. Before Mo Wuji ascertained what the Soul Seal Prison was about, he didn¡¯t dare to make such assumptions. But after Chen San explained about Soul Seal Prison, Mo Wuji immediately knew that Zhu Yin definitely went to Soul Seal Prison because he wanted to temper his Broken Dao. The reason why Zi Changluo didn¡¯t think of this wasn¡¯t because Zi Changluo was more stupid than Mo Wuji. Instead, it was because Zi Changluo wasn¡¯t the progenitor of his own Grand Dao. Thus, from a certain perspective, Mo Wuji and Zhu Yin were the same kind of people. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that a vicious person like Zhu Yin wouldn¡¯t immediately kill Zi Changluo for locking him for countless years, albeit it was within his intentions. By now, Mo Wuji completely understood the reason why Zhu Yin didn¡¯t kill Zi Changluo. This was because Zhu Yin wanted Zi Changluo to help him one more time. When he first left Soul Seal Prison, he would definitely have to pay a price even if he tried to kill Zi Changluo. Now, Zi Changluo had dispatched many experts and even an entire army to attack Mo Wuji. Zhu Yin simply wanted to use these people¡¯s souls to recover his own elemental energy. Previously, Zhu Yin had already devoured countless souls and primordial spirits. By now, Zhu Yin should have fully recovered. Unfortunately, he, Mo Wuji, didn¡¯t know of Zhu Yin¡¯s cultivation technique and origins beforehand. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have allowed Zhu Yin to easily consume all those primordial spirits and souls. Now that Zhu Yin had recovered his elemental energy, Zhu Yin probably wanted to kill him and devour his soul. Thereafter, Zhu Yin would head back to the Very High Heavens to kill Zi Changluo. From the looks of it, Zhu Yin probably thought that Zi Changluo was stronger than him. The reason why Mo Wuji¡¯s fear towards Zhu Yin disappeared was because he also discovered how Zhu Yin was able to easily slaughter multiple Grand Emperors. Mo Wuji was also the progenitor of a Grand Dao. He didn¡¯t believe that there would be a huge gap in power between the two of them despite only having a small gap in cultivation. In reality, there should have been days of work behind those simple-looking finger attacks. How could a vicious person like Zhu Yin not plot against the experts of the Very High Heavens as they were travelling to the Immortal World? As long as he managed to plot against those Grand Emperors, Zhu Yin would naturally be able to eliminate them easily. As for how Zhu Yin managed to plot against those Grand Emperors, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to think about that. He was sure that Zhu Yin definitely had his own ways. Even though Zi Changluo wasn¡¯t as vicious as Zhu Yin, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe that Zi Changluo would have done nothing to Zhu Yin after capturing Zhu Yin. Since Zi Changluo had done something to Zhu Yin, but Zhu Yin still remained fearless, it would mean that Zhu Yin was far more devious than Zi Changluo. Indeed, when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s question, Zhu Yin laughed indifferently, "It¡¯s because I really want to know how strong is the person that even Zi Changluo has reservations towards¡­" As he was speaking, Zhu Yin had already brought out a gigantic wooden fish. This wooden fish seemed as huge as a continent as it moved towards Mo Wuji. Back when Zhu Yin killed more than 10,000 people, he didn¡¯t even use his magic treasure. However, against Mo Wuji, he immediately brought out his magic treasure. Clearly, this person was very cautious. In Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, Zhu Yin didn¡¯t use his magic treasure on him because he was strong. Instead, it was because Zhu Yin didn¡¯t understand him, but understood the people that were dispatched from the Very High Heavens. In fact, it could even be a form of mocking when Zhu Yin used his magic treasure. The moment Zhu Yin acted, Mo Wuji whipped out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Don¡¯t simply look at how Zhu Yin had already killed more than 10,000 people. By now, Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t know the true methods of Zhu Yin. The attacks that Zhu Yin had shown so far probably wasn¡¯t even one-billionth of his actual capabilities. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured a sky-splitting halberd light; this halberd light split into nine silver rivers which cascaded down from the sky. All of a sudden, Zhu Yin¡¯s wooden fish suddenly exploded. The shockwaves from the explosion actually left Mo Wuji slightly shocked. These shockwaves weren¡¯t elemental shockwaves but spiritual will shockwaves. This was actually a Law that he had never seen before¡­ In the blink of an eye, this Law transformed into a world of its own. Mo Wuji clearly prepared himself but he was still drawn into the world. Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold. By this time, he understood that this world should be Zhu Yin¡¯s Broken Dao World. His cultivation level wasn¡¯t as high as Zhu Yin but he also had his own world. It was just that the completeness of his world wasn¡¯t the same as Zhu Yin¡¯s; at the very least, his world couldn¡¯t be used in battle. Boundless black runes filled the sky; Mo Wuji seemed to return back to the distorted and warped space in the Sage Dao Talisman. However, this was different from those spatial distortions. The spatial distortions were a power of the Sage Dao Talisman; Fu Jiujiang could only activate it but didn¡¯t have any means of controlling it. However, this talisman world was created by Zhu Yin, himself. Thus, Zhu Yin had absolute control over the Laws of his Broken Dao World. Indeed, just as Mo Wuji thought of this, a terrifying force brushed across the edge of his sea of consciousness. It seemed to want to suck away the roots of his Dao. In an instant, Mo Wuji knew what was going on; this was Zhu Yin¡¯s method to extract one¡¯s primordial spirit. If he really had a primordial spirit, he would have been caught off guard and he would actually have fallen under Zhu Yin¡¯s attack. Even though he didn¡¯t have a primordial spirit, his soul still got slightly unstable. Zhu Yin¡¯s cold laughter could be heard, "I was still thinking about how strong you could be. From the looks of it, Zi Changluo is getting weaker¡­" Zhu Yin¡¯s laughter stopped abruptly; he actually didn¡¯t manage to grab a single trace of Mo Wuji¡¯s primordial spirit. Before he could react, a Spiritual Will Arrow filled with death energy locked onto him. His Broken Dao World was under his own Laws, everything should be within his control. However, he was unable to control this arrow intent. Not only that, his mind was even locked on by this arrow intent. This is the Spiritual Will Arrow? Zhu Yin soon reacted. This was definitely the Spiritual Will Arrow. He definitely couldn¡¯t allow this Spiritual Will Arrow to continue gathering the deathly energy in the area, nor could he allow himself to get completely locked on by this arrow. Just as Zhu Yin thought of this, that Spiritual Will Arrow had already ripped through the air and shot towards his forehead. Mo Wuji had never intended to have his Spiritual Will Arrow completely locked onto Zhu Yin. "Boom!" Zhu Yin¡¯s wooden fish world suddenly exploded. A blinding light flashed across Zhu Yin¡¯s forehead, it actually shattered Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrow. Zhu Yin instantly coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. "Pff!" A glimmer of blood flashed; Zhu Yin¡¯s right arm had been sliced by the cascading Winding River. Zhu Yin landed among the corpses of the army that he had just slaughtered. He lifted his only hand and wiped off the blood that seeped out of the corner of his mouth. He stared at Mo Wuji and said, "You¡¯re very strong. You¡¯re strong beyond belief. Since I, Zhu Yin, started cultivation, you are the first person to force me to a disadvantage besides my intended capture by Zi Changluo. However, this isn¡¯t because I¡¯m worse than you, but because I didn¡¯t know that your secret is actually bigger than mine. Now, why don¡¯t you try my Soul Capturing Finger¡­" Zhu Yin slowly raised his left hand. He looked as though he was picking flowers as he only pointed his finger towards Mo Wuji softly. Mo Wuji knew the meaning behind Zhu Yin¡¯s words. Zhu Yin was saying that it was simply because he didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a primordial spirit, which was why he had suffered a disadvantage. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. Even if he did have a primordial spirit, Zhu Yin should still forget about touching his sea of consciousness. After that battle with the Sage Dao Talisman and Fu Jiujiang, his sea of consciousness had already evolved into a new level. Even Zhu Yin probably didn¡¯t know that there would be a sea of consciousness which possessed its own realm. Zhu Yin¡¯s finger only pointed lightly, but the entire world seemed to change. At this instant, the world turned black and white. In between these two colours of black and white, all souls would be shocked and captured. With this finger, the Heaven and Earth turned into nothingness, space extinguished, and souls dispersed¡­ "Then why don¡¯t you also try my finger¡­" Mo Wuji also pointed his finger forward. The World of Man of the Seven World Finger appeared. The Heaven and Space appeared again and the extinguished space turned into the World of Man. In this World of Man, all living things were like white clouds - insignificant. All life and death existed within this World of Man. "Boom!" The two auras of the two Dao Progenitors clashed. Mo Wuji could even feel his sea of consciousness vibrating violently; there seemed to be a force which wanted to wrest away the soul from his sea of consciousness. That force surrounded his willpower and his soul. Since Mo Wuji started cultivation, the one thing he didn¡¯t lack was willpower. Even though that soul capturing power was incredibly strong, he still remained unmovable like a mountain. All his dao energy transformed into the World of Man under his finger. Zhu Yin¡¯s expression was calm. It didn¡¯t matter how strong your willpower was; his Soul Capturing Finger was able to capture his opponent¡¯s soul, even if it was only a single strand of it. In just a few breaths, Zhu Yin¡¯s expression changed. His Soul Capturing Finger was actually unable to break through Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness actually possessed its own realm, and that realm belonged to Mo Wuji¡¯s own Laws. Since he, Zhu Yin, started cultivation, he had never met such a freak like Mo Wuji. If not having a primordial spirit was not enough, Mo Wuji even possessed a sea of consciousness which had its own realm? A single mistake was enough for an ordinary person to perish. However, he, Zhu Yin, was not an ordinary person. He no longer dared to continue fighting a freak like Mo Wuji. Before he could escape, he saw the vicissitudes of life within the World of Man. In this World of Man, he was simply an ant. Chapter 866: This Person Is Too Terrifying Chapter 866: This Person Is Too Terrifying Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Zhu Yin¡¯s eyes turned cold. His Soul Capturing Finger no longer struck towards Mo Wuji. Instead, it transformed into ripple-like surfaces as he tried to defend against Mo Wuji¡¯s finger. After Mo Wuji shot out with his Seven World Finger, no one would be able to locate where his Seven World Finger was; but Zhu Yin could. "Boom!" The two finger¡¯s dao energy slammed into each other; Laws exploded and filled the sky, forming spatial whirlpools in the air. "Pff!" Zhu Yin coughed out a mouthful of blood. His Soul Capturing Finger had been completely shattered. A hint of madness flashed across Zhu Yin¡¯s eyes. At the same time, a strand of glee could also be seen within them. It seemed as though he wasn¡¯t the one who was at a disadvantage after that finger battle. Indeed, at the very next instant, the Soul Capturing Finger¡¯s dao energy rapidly rebuilt itself. It soon condensed for form a murky black dao rune, forming a Law of the Heaven and Earth over this area. Anyone that saw that Law rune would feel their souls shaking. Many people knew that Soul Capturing Finger Sacred Art was very strong. However, no one knew that his Soul Capturing Finger had more than one Capture. Not only was there the First Capture, Heavenly Charge, but there was also a Second Capture, Spiritual Intelligence. The reason why no one knew it was because no one was even strong enough to force him to use his Second Capture. After displaying the Second Capture, Zhu Yin retrieved his wooden fish. The same thought as Zi Changluo fleeted across his mind; he wanted to capture Mo Wuji and bring Mo Wuji into his wooden fish¡¯s world. Mo Wuji was the most impressive expert that he met in the entire Immortal World. He was especially envious of Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness which possessed its own realm and he was curious as to how Mo Wuji was able to cultivate without a primordial spirit. When one¡¯s cultivation was low, possessing a primordial spirit would be useful for battles. However, once one¡¯s cultivation got higher, not having a primordial spirit was so much more terrifying; Zhu Yin was extremely clear about that. Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger, Zhu Yin believed that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to completely defend against his Second Capture. At the most, Mo Wuji would prevent the Soul Capturing Finger from entering his sea of consciousness. However, in reality, Zhu Yin¡¯s Second Capture didn¡¯t even need to enter the sea of consciousness; it needed to capture Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual intelligence. As long as Mo Wuji lost his capacity for thought, even if it was for a single breath, he would be able to drag Mo Wuji into his wooden fish world. Zhu Yin was also sure that in this short period of time, Mo Wuji would have no means of dodging or using a new sacred art. The instant the World of Man dissipated, Zhu Yin¡¯s Soul Capturing Finger transformed into his Second Capture. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s Seven World Finger didn¡¯t dissipate completely. Instead, it transformed into the Second World Killer - Heaven and Earth. The World of Man was only capable of controlling living things. However, Heaven and Earth was capable of controlling Laws. Thus, within this Heaven and Earth, all Laws, all life, and all sacred arts were within the control of his Heaven and Earth. The moment Heaven and Earth appeared, everything had fallen into Mo Wuji¡¯s hands; Mo Wuji was the one in control of this Heaven and Earth. "Boom! Kacha!" If the First Capture of the Soul Capturing Finger was still able to contend with Mo Wuji¡¯s World of Man for a short while, then this Second Capture wasn¡¯t even able to tear through Mo Wuji¡¯s domain before it was controlled by Heaven and Earth. The Law within the Soul Capturing Finger shattered entirely, turning into nothing beneath Heaven and Earth. After the Soul Capturing Finger shattered, Zhu Yin saw a finger behind the Heaven and Earth aiming towards his forehead. This finger didn¡¯t crazily absorb deathly energy like the previous Spiritual Will Arrow. However, the deathly energy of this finger was far more terrifying. Zhu Yin cultivated the Broken Dao, causing his sea of consciousness and his soul to be far more powerful than an average cultivator. The Spiritual Will Arrow was indeed very strong, but because of the strength of his sea of consciousness and his soul, it was only able to injure him. However, this finger, Heaven and Earth, seemed truly capable of ending and extinguishing him. Under this Heaven and Earth, he, Zhu Yin, would undoubtedly die if he didn¡¯t do anything. When this finger came, Zhu Yin¡¯s skull turned numb. He thought that his Soul Capturing Finger having a Second Capture was one of a kind. He didn¡¯t think that Mo Wuji¡¯s finger would also have a Second World Killer and it was even much stronger than the First World Killer. An intense sense of unwillingness filled his mind; this was the first time he was overwhelmed by boundless regret. He didn¡¯t regret fighting Mo Wuji. Instead, he regretted his carelessness despite knowing that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t a simple person. If he, Zhu Yin, had a Second Capture for his Soul Capturing Finger, why wouldn¡¯t others have a Second World Killer? After being trapped in Soul Seal Prison for so many years, did he forget how he managed to travel all the way to the top? It was through vigilance, vigilance and more vigilance. If he had been more careful, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have fallen under Mo Wuji¡¯s Heaven and Earth. In terms of capabilities, he believed that he was not weaker than Mo Wuji. In fact, he had even more powerful sacred arts which he had yet to use. "Spiritual intelligence, shatter for me¡­" Zhu Yin howled; a complex rune brimming with his dao energy suddenly appeared. This complex rune transformed into a murky black blade. This blade light slashed forward from Zhu Yin¡¯s sea of consciousness and cleaved against Mo Wuji¡¯s finger. This was a slash paid at the price of his spiritual intelligence. "Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s Heaven and Earth clashed against this huge black blade. A soul-tearing force swept through the air. Mo Wuji could no longer hold it in as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. At this instant, his soul actually started to wither and his entire body felt fatigued. At the same time, Zhu Yin heard a cracking sound from the depths of his sea of consciousness. His head was bleeding. On the surface, it looked like he only faced minor injuries. In reality, he knew exactly what he had lost. To defend against this finger of Mo Wuji, he had to pay with his spiritual intelligence. To Zhu Yin, the shattering of his spiritual intelligence wouldn¡¯t merely cause a fall in his power, his Soul Capturing Finger would also be unable to use its Second Capture, Spiritual Intelligence, ever again. This wasn¡¯t the most terrifying thing to him; the most terrifying thing was that with his spiritual intelligence shattered, he would have to find another place like Soul Seal Prison and torture himself for thousands of years before he could recover his power. If he wasn¡¯t able to find such a place, then he would never be able to improve again in his entire life; his Great Dao would cease there. No matter what, he had to flee, he had to flee far away. Before he recovered his power, he wasn¡¯t going to return. Mo Wuji was far too terrifying. Even though his soul felt withered, Mo Wuji still released his domain explosively. At the same time, he prepared his Wheel of Life and Death. He anxiously wanted to kill Zhu Yin. What shocked Mo Wuji was that after defending against his Seven World Finger, Zhu Yin suddenly shattered into pieces. Thereafter, he transformed into a black mist, and in an instant, that mist dispersed into the surroundings and vanished without a trace. Even though Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye, he was still unable to determine where Zhu Yin had fled to. Mo Wuji was speechless. He knew that with his capabilities, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find Zhu Yin. It would be the same if he lost; Zhu Yin wouldn¡¯t be able to find him. With his Wind Escape Technique, he could transform into a light breeze and disappear. Clearly, Zhu Yin¡¯s escape art was related to the soul. The surroundings of Ping Fan were filled with people. After Zhu Yin fled with heavy injuries, dead silence descended onto the crowd. There¡¯s no need to talk about those that didn¡¯t know about Zhu Yin. However, the experts that knew of Zhu Yin felt their hearts shaking in waves of shock. How strong was Zhu Yin? The sect that Zhu Yin destroyed those years ago was one that even the combined forces of the Lightning Sect, Great Sword Path and Vast Ocean Immortal School couldn¡¯t compare with. It was rumoured that when Zi Changluo brought ten over Grand Emperors to encircle Zhu Yin, Zhu Yin was still able to kill eight Grand Emperors and heavily injure Zi Changluo before he was eventually captured. Such a vicious person was actually unable to defeat Sect Head Mo. Not only that, he was even heavily injured by Sect Head Mo and had one of his arms cut off. To the people that know of the Broken Soul Man Zhu Yin, this act of Mo Wuji was far more difficult than killing multiple Grand Emperors. No one knew that Zhu Yin didn¡¯t only lose an arm. Compared to the shattering of his spiritual intelligence, Zhu Yin¡¯s decapitated arm was merely an itch. Mo Wuji turned to the dazed Su Zi¡¯An and said, "Zi¡¯An, Ping Fan Immortal School will be left to you and Wei Zidao. I will need to leave for some time. Mo Qingche is my relative, help her arrange for a quiet place to cultivate." After which, Mo Wuji turned to Mo Qingche and said, "Qingche, if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t know, you can ask Elder Su or Protector Wei." "Zi¡¯An understands." Su Zi¡¯An finally returned to his countenance. He suppressed the agitation in his heart as he bowed respectfully. With the Sect Head of Ping Fan being so strong, even Zi Changluo would no longer dare to cause trouble for them. Wei Zidao was even more agitated. There was no need to talk about the current Zhu Yin, even the Zhu Yin tens of thousands of years ago was capable of squashing him. Over these tens of thousands of years, he, Wei Zidao, merely advanced from the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage to the Grand Emperor Stage. On the other hand, the Sect Head of his Ping Fan Immortal School was actually able to suppress Zhu Yin. Indeed, it was the right choice for him, Wei Zidao, to have stayed with Ping Fan. "Yes, Grandpa," Mo Qingche said hurriedly. This battle with Zhu Yin didn¡¯t last very long, but it had shocked her deeply. At the same time, she was more aware of how powerful her grandfather actually was. That Zhu Yin fella was so strong that he could kill 10,000 people with a single palm. Even though he was so impressive, her grandfather was still able to defeat him. She was cultivating the legacy of her grandfather. If her Grandpa Mo Wuji could do it, then she, Mo Qingche, would also be able to do it too. Mo Wuji then clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "Immortal Friends of the Immortal World, my Ping Fan Immortal School is being rebuilt and it requires large amounts of resources. I seek everyone¡¯s help. Of course, my Ping Fan Immortal School will compensate with the required immortal crystals." The moment Mo Wuji said these words, many immortals came forward to express their support. Chen San was the first to come forward, "Sect Head Mo, we actually came here to lend you our fists in battle. But now, we weren¡¯t even strong enough to lend you our fists. Since Ping Fan Immortal School is going to be rebuilt, I, Chen San, will be the first to show my support." "Right! We will support the rebuild of Ping Fan Immortal School!" The crowd hollered loudly. Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the crowd once more. Then, he turned to Chen San and said, "Immortal Friend Chen San, when I was in Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, I heard some news about Chen Hu. It¡¯s rumoured that he had met with a mishap. However, this matter has yet to be verified and I didn¡¯t witness it personally. When I return to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, I will definitely find Chen Hu." When Chen San heard that it was likely that Chen Hu had met with a mishap, his eyes turned red. He bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "Sect Head Mo, I only request that when Sect Head Mo returns to the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, you will bring me, Chen San, along." "Alright." Mo Wuji accepted Chen San¡¯s request. At this instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s priority was to go to the Very High Heavens. As for the sects like Lightning Sect and Vast Ocean Immortal School, he didn¡¯t have to go after them at all; he knew that the people in those sects would definitely have fled already. Moreover, Mo Wuji only wanted to kill Lei Guyun and Jin Yusheng. Now that those two were already killed by him, he didn¡¯t care that their sects have been disbanded. At this instant, Zi Changluo was the one that he wanted to kill. Chapter 867: Died So Simply Chapter 867: Died So Simply Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Very High Heavens, Dao Emperor Palace. Zi Changluo couldn¡¯t help but feel uneasy. Days had passed but no news came from Gongshu Shipan. If that wasn¡¯t enough, the sects that regularly send him news of the Immortal World were also silent. No. Carrying on like this is the not the solution. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have the feat of killing a Dao Emperor, Zi Changluo really wouldn¡¯t have cared too much about him. However, the key thing was that Mo Wuji¡¯s battle records were indeed too shocking; Mo Wuji was even able to kill Lun Pa. One must know that even he, Zi Changluo, wouldn¡¯t be able to kill Lun Pa. "Men, get Lei Hongji here," Zi Changluo decided not to wait any further. "Yes." A response came from outside the Dao Emperor Palace. In less than half an incense¡¯s time, a deep voice came from outside the palace, "Master, you¡¯re finding me?" Zi Changluo said warmly, "Hongji, come in. I have some matters I want you to handle. "Yes, Master." The tall and muscular Lei Hongji came in. Compared to when his first arrival at Very High Heavens where he had lightning bolts dancing all around him, Lei Hongji no longer had the same unbridled lightning aura. Zi Changluo nodded contentedly, "Not bad, not bad. Out of all my disciples, only your talent is truly spectacular. Your Immortal Emperor Stage cultivation has completely stabilised and you already have the aura of a master." Lei Hongji bowed respectfully and said, "Master is over-praising me. Compared to my other senior brothers, Lei Hongji is still lacking." Zi Changluo pointed towards the chair opposite him and said, "Hongji, ever since you became my disciple, I have regarded you as my son. There¡¯s no need for you to be so polite here." Lei Hongji bowed once more before he sat down. Zi Changluo also sat down. After Zi Changluo took a seat, he brought out a tea set, placed it at the corner of the table and said, "Hongji, Master is slightly sorry. Master has to borrow something from you." Lei Hongji stood back up and said modestly, "If Master needs anything, there¡¯s no need to say anything about borrowing. You only need to ask this disciple." When he finished speaking, Lei Hongji took the initiative to pick up the teapot and served Zi Changluo a cup of spiritual tea. Zi Changluo accepted the tea but he didn¡¯t drink it. Instead, he placed the teacup on the table and said, "This thing is also very important to you, so Master feels very guilty¡­" Lei Hongji laughed, "Master, please say it. If I, Lei Hongji, have extra, I wouldn¡¯t mind giving it to you." Zi Changluo jolted slightly. He could naturally tell that something was wrong with Lei Hongji¡¯s words. What did he mean by extra? "Lei Hongji, I know that your spiritual roots are amazing; they should be self-evolving spiritual roots, right? Honestly, in my entire life of cultivation, I, Zi Changluo, have never seen self-evolving spiritual roots. It¡¯s been a long time since I reached the Dao Emperor Stage, and my cultivation potential has also reached its end. So, the thing I want to borrow is your spiritual roots¡­" When Zi Changluo finished speaking, he stared calmly at Lei Hongji. Lei Hongji did not seem to be surprised. Instead, he said indifferently, "I¡¯m afraid I cannot lend you that." "Eh, that¡¯s not up to you, nor is it up to me. You should be able to see that this teapot of mine is an array disc right? However, it was useless for you to have moved it away from the corner of the table. Now, even I am unable to release this trap array." ZI Changluo sighed, stood up and tried to pat Lei Hongji¡¯s shoulder. He had purchased this trap array from Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos; it was an array that exceeded Grade 9. As long as it was activated, everyone else besides him would have their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed. When Zi Changluo tried to raise his hand, his face changed. He discovered that his immortal elemental energy and spiritual will were trapped within his body and could not be used. "You¡­" Zi Changluo¡¯s heart sunk. Even an idiot would know that something was amiss. Lei Hongji said indifferently, "I thought that you would have waited for some time. I didn¡¯t think that you would be so impatient. You truly disappointed me." "You know?" Zi Changluo¡¯s heart sank to the bottom of an abyss. Lei Hongji¡¯s voice was calm as he said, "If I didn¡¯t know, I, Lei Hongji, wouldn¡¯t have gotten so far. Honestly, I really admire you. You are the first person to completely understand how heaven-defying my spiritual roots are. Even if you didn¡¯t act today, I would have acted against you a few days later." "I¡¯m your master." Zi Changluo growled lowly. He didn¡¯t shout; he knew that it would be useless to shout within this trap array. Lei Hongji shook his head and said with slight disdain, "You can only be considered my fifth master. Oh right, do you want to know what happened to my first four masters?" "What?" Zi Changluo asked subconsciously. Lei Hongji said slowly, "My first master helped me to open my spirits. He was also the first to discover that my spiritual roots could evolve. Thereafter, he died. My second master was a Star Lord. He gave me countless cultivation resources. Then, he also died. My third master was my first master in the Immortal World. He had an alias, it was Grand Emperor Venom Sky¡­" "Venom Sky¡­" Zi Changluo¡¯s face changed. He finally understood how he fell into such a state; he had been poisoned. How could he not know about Grand Emperor Venom Sky? This was a person that even he wasn¡¯t willing to offend. It was rumoured that this person could even place venom in the sky and that anyone that touches his hand would undoubtedly die. Lei Hongji continued monotonously, "He also died. My fourth master is called Lei Guyun. I heard that he died a few days ago. He is also the only master that I didn¡¯t kill personally. You are the fifth. Actually, you could have a few more days, ai¡­" "Tell me, how was I poisoned, and how are you able to remain unaffected by my trap array? Otherwise, I will not be able to die peacefully¡­" Zi Changluo cried harshly. "Who says that I am unaffected? Also, why would I care whether you die peacefully?" Lei Hongji suddenly pulled out a short sword from his sleeve and he walked next to Zi Changluo. "So you weren¡¯t able to break my trap array¡­" A hint of hope appeared within Zi Changluo¡¯s eyes. So Lei Hongji was also the same as him; they both had their immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed. Lei Hongji smiled with contempt, "I¡¯m not the same as you. You have been poisoned by me, causing your entire body to turn numb. As for me, I only have my immortal elemental energy and spiritual will sealed. I can still move like an ordinary person." "Hahaha¡­" Zi Changluo chuckled loudly. He was a Dao Emperor. A Lei Hongji without spiritual will and immortal elemental energy wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him even if Lei Hongji had 100 years. There was no need to talk about 100 years. If he didn¡¯t come out after a few days, his subordinates would definitely get suspicious. "..." Zi Changluo¡¯s laughter stopped abruptly. Lei Hongji clearly didn¡¯t have immortal elemental energy nor spiritual will. However, the sword in Lei Hongji¡¯s hand was still able to easily pierce into his forehead, destroying his sea of consciousness and extinguishing his primordial spirit and soul¡­ "What¡¯s this sword?" Zi Changluo muttered to himself. He didn¡¯t hope that Lei Hongji would give him an answer, he only hoped that he could live. In his life, he became a Dao Emperor, he lived in the Very High Heavens, and he ruled the Immortal World. What pleasures had he not enjoyed? What sights had he not seen? He didn¡¯t think that he would have died so simply, so easily. If he could turn back time, he would rather die in the battle for the Very High Heavens Cosmos City. "This sword¡¯s name is Tian Ji. You could consider it an honour to die under Tian Ji Sword and my Lei Hongji¡¯s hands. Oh right, you want to know how you got poisoned? I merely helped you pour a cup of immortal tea which you didn¡¯t drink," Lei Hongji said indifferently. Honour? A hint of self-ridicule and disdain flashed across Zi Changluo¡¯s eyes. In his life, he had killed many people and he had backstabbed many friends. Today, he died by his own disciple¡¯s hands. It could be considered a form of retribution. "Kacha!" Zi Changluo¡¯s primordial spirit shattered and his fleshly body collapsed. A drop of vital blood was caught by Lei Hongji. Countless of runes landed on that vital blood. In less than two hours, an array disc the size of a palm appeared in Lei Hongji¡¯s hand. After grabbing that array disc, Lei Hongji picked out a pearl from Zi Changluo¡¯s body, then he sliced off Zi Changluo¡¯s finger and grabbed the storage ring. He then walked out the door. He carefully placed a seal on the door and said to the empty air, "My master has some sudden insights. He needs to be left alone for 49 days. Even if there¡¯s anything urgent, don¡¯t disturb my master." "Yes." A few voices sounded from shadows. Lei Hongji nodded, then he calmly walked out of the Dao Emperor Palace. ¡­ Just as Mo Wuji walked out of Ping Fan Immortal School, four figures appeared in front of him. They were three men and one woman; he actually recognised three of them. One was Six Paths Immortal Domain¡¯s Heavenly Emperor Gai Qing and another one was the Second House Master of Green Immortal House, Qing Yang. When Mo Wuji saw Qing Yang those years ago, Qing Yang was only a Quasi-Emperor. Now, she was already in the early Immortal Emperor Stage. The third person was Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s Heng Ke. This fella, Heng Ke, actually dared to appear in front of him? It wasn¡¯t because he was magnanimous that he chose not to exterminate Great Kun Buddhist Sect, but because he didn¡¯t have the time. "Sect Head Mo!" Before Mo Wuji could rage, the four simultaneously clasped their fists and paid their respects. Heng Ke, in particular, bowed deeply. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart; even though it wasn¡¯t Heng Ke but Guang Xing who teamed up with Jin Yusheng, Lei Guyun and Yi Minghu to deal with him, he, Mo Wuji, really wouldn¡¯t forget about that grudge. Those years ago, if Guang Xing hadn¡¯t blocked him, he wouldn¡¯t even have been surrounded by the other Grand Emperors. "The three of you, please wait. I need to settle some debts today." Mo Wuji burst forth with killing intent. Heng Ke seemed to know that Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. He did not wait for Mo Wuji to attack as he brought his palms together and said, "Sect Head, the incident that happened those years ago was due to my Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s greed. As the sect head, Guang Xing actually did such a tyrannical thing. Guang Xing knew that he had sinned greatly. So as not to implicate the sect, Guang Xing has gone back into the circle of reincarnation a few days ago." Guang Xing had committed suicide? However, was Guang Xing¡¯s suicide enough to make him forget about his revenge? He, Mo Wuji, wasn¡¯t such a nice person. Those years ago, if not for that star locket that Ji Li gave him, his Revolving Star Passage Technique and his God Physique, he would have definitely died. But this Guang Xing also knew how to act. To actually commit suicide, this Guang Xing was rather bold. "Amitabha, we all know that Sect Head Mo had been wronged. It¡¯s just that the Seven Immortal Domains are in grave peril. This monk boldly pleads that Sect Head Mo temporarily places aside this karma." The one speaking was a monk; the only one of the four that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t recognise. Chapter 868: The Site Of Tian Ji Chapter 868: The Site Of Tian Ji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Who are you?" Mo Wuji stared calmly at the monk in front of him. Heng Ke was also a monk, causing him to suspect that this other monk could be a helper of Heng Ke. However, even if all four of them surround and attack him now, he wouldn''t need to worry. Qing Yang hurriedly came forward and said, "Sect Head Mo, please don''t misunderstand. This is Sala Buddha Immortal Domain Seven Buddha Great Temple¡¯s Buddhist Emperor Xing Shan." Xing Shan? Mo Wuji inwardly thought that this name was so filled with love. [1] After seeing the greedy monks of Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji had always lacked favour towards the Buddhist sects in Sala Buddha Immortal Domain. However, he did have a favourable impression towards Seven Buddha Great Temple. Before he entered the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos, he had met Seven Buddha Great Temple¡¯s Monk Da Ning. Monk Da Ning¡¯s character was really not bad; he had always done things in the light. This was unlike Great Lin Buddhist Sect who only knew how to plot in the shadows. "This poor monk is Xing Shan." Xing Shan looked friendly and his tone was also amiable. Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "So it''s Immortal Friend Xing Shan. Previously, I had the fortune of meeting your sect''s Immortal Friend Da Ning." When Xing Shan heard Mo Wuji mention Da Ning, he hurriedly asked, "Is Da Ning doing well?" Mo Wuji replied, "I only had a brief encounter with Immortal Friend Da Ning. We were separated midway and I didn''t see him again. Thereafter, I also didn''t hear any news of him, so I''m no longer clear about his exact situation." "Ai!" Monk Xing Shan sighed but no longer asked any further. "Is there any special reason why the few of you have stopped me?" Mo Wuji no longer continued acting against Heng Ke. The few of them turned to face Qing Yang, seemingly wanting Qing Yang to explain the situation. Qing Yang took the lead and said, "Sect Head Mo, before you came to the Immortal World, you should have been the Sect Head of Tian Ji Sect, right?" "That''s right." Mo Wuji nodded. This sort of thing would be revealed in a simple investigation. Moreover, there was no need for him to continue hiding it. With his capabilities, he wouldn''t need to worry if all of Tian Ji Sect''s enemies came after him; he will face them all. When Qing Yang heard Mo Wuji''s words, she heaved a slight sigh of relief and continued, "Someone discovered a place in the Immortal World which is emitting a violent energy of death and destruction. As long as anyone entered, then that person would undoubtedly die. Eventually, someone finally managed to escape alive but he died soon after. That person only said two words when he came out: Tian Ji." "Are you able to show me an illustration of that place?" When Mo Wuji heard the words ''Tian Ji¡¯, his interest was immediately piqued. Qing Yang was clearly prepared; she immediately retrieved a jade letter and passed it to Mo Wuji. The moment Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will in, he could see that the surroundings shown within this jade letter were roughly the same as the map that Su Zi¡¯An gave him. This was also the same as the faint diagrams on the Tian Ji Sect Head Token. Mo Wuji had long wanted to take a look at this place, it was just that he had never known its exact location; so it had been delayed for so long. He didn''t expect that someone else would discover it, and it even seemed to be a danger zone. "Sect Head Mo, we''ve been there once before. Whether it was Buddhist Emperor Xing Shan or Heavenly Emperor Gai Ying, they both had a premonition that this place was extremely dangerous. If this danger wasn''t resolved, it could cause the entire Immortal World to collapse. Thereafter, Buddhist Emperor Xing Shan and Heavenly Emperor Gai invited Heavenly Emperor Zizai and Immortal Emperor Jin Ping. They also had the premonition that this place could cause the collapse of the entire Immortal World. Seeing that this matter is far from simple, the four of us prepared to invite an expert to take a look. We happened to learn that Sect Head Mo had returned, which was why we specially hurried over to find Sect Head Mo," Qing Yang''s way of speaking was straightforward and she also explained things clearly. Mo Wuji also knew clearly about what their original intentions were. What ''happened to learn that Sect Head Mo had returned¡¯? What ''specially hurried over to find Sect Head Mo¡¯? They probably were prepared to report this incident to the Very High Heavens. It was just that they came to know that Mo Wuji had screwed the Very High Heavens and had even killed many Immortal Emperors of the Very High Heavens. This was why they decided to change their plans at the last minute to request for his help instead. Of course, Mo Wuji saw no need in revealing that he knew of such matters. Now that the map towards Tian Ji had appeared, he would have made a trip there even if Qing Yang and co. didn''t invite him. "Sect Head Mo, Heavenly Emperor Zizai is adroit in the Dao Studies Of Changes. His opinions are sometimes more precise than ours." By the side, Gai Ying added. Mo Wuji knew of Heavenly Emperor Zizai''s skill with the Study of Changes. However, Mo Wuji didn''t dare to respect Heavenly Emperor Zizai''s skill. This fella predicted that Lei Hongji was going to be the saviour of the Immortal World; he, Mo Wuji, didn''t believe that bullsh*t. Would a person like Lei Hongji sacrifice himself to save the Immortal World? This fella could probably do better trying to fool the dead. "I wonder where Heavenly Emperor Zizai is?" Mo Wuji casually asked. Monk Xing Shan answered with his palms placed together, "Immortal Friend Zizai and Immortal Devil Path''s Immortal Emperor Jin Ping are currently guarding over that place, along with several other Immortal Emperors." "Alright, I agree to go. But before this, I still have to handle some matters, so I would have to push this matter off for some time," Mo Wuji decided on the spot. Xing Shan placed his palms together once more, "May I ask what matters will Sect Head Mo be attending to? And how long would it take?" Before Mo Wuji could reply, Qing Yang said, "If Sect Head Mo is intending to go to the Very High Heavens, I would suggest against it. I have met the Very High Heavens¡¯ Zi Changluo before. He is an extremely cautious person. When he sent his army to the Immortal World, he didn''t even come. Even if you know the location of the passage to the Very High Heavens, he would have closed it off." Mo Wuji thought in his heart: This Qing Yang was really quite piercing. He really did intend to get rid of Zi Changluo first, then he would return. In reality, he didn''t even know where the passage to the Very High Heavens was; he intended to go to Gods Immortal Domain and ask around for directions. Now that he heard Qing Yang''s words, he knew that he could only postpone that matter even if he was especially eager to do it. Moreover, it seemed that he should resolve the matter of Tian Ji''s appearance as soon as possible, whether it was for himself or for the Immortal World. "I will first return to my sect to install a sect protecting array. Thereafter, I will follow the few of you to where Tian Ji is." Mo Wuji gave up his intention of going to the Very High Heavens. However, installing a protective array for Ping Fan Immortal School was something that he needed to do. Previously, because he accidentally landed himself in the Heaven''s Beyond Cosmos, he wasn''t able to return to the Immortal World for many years. Who knew exactly where Tian Ji was? If he was unable to return for a protracted time, then his sect would be left without a protective array. "Of course this is fine. We can even assist Sect Head Mo with this," Gai Ying hurriedly said. Heng Ke, who hadn''t spoked for a long time, grabbed this opportunity to say, "To compensate for my Great Kun Buddhist Sect''s past mistakes, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect would provide the materials for Ping Fan Immortal School''s sect protecting array." This was definitely going to be a huge sum. As a Grade 9 Array Master, Mo Wuji was naturally going to install a Grade 9 immortal array. Not only was the amount of materials needed for a Grade 9 array going to be stupefying, the grade of the materials was going to be dumbfounding as well. Hearing Heng Ke''s words, Mo Wuji revealed a smile, "Very well then since the Great Kun Buddhist Sect has such intentions. If your sect is really able to help with this, then I will forget about the past." Grade 9 immortal array? Keke, that''s a thing of the past. Now, the protective array that Mo Wuji was going to install was going to exceed Grade 9. He wouldn''t read till he wrests away half of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect''s savings. ¡­ Ten days later, Heng Ke finally saw Mo Wuji complete Ping Fan¡¯s defensive array with a pale expression on his face. The Great Kun Buddhist Sect¡¯s stores could be considered top-class in the entire Buddhist Sect. However, this array of Mo Wuji¡¯s almost emptied out their deep stores. While his heart ached, Heng Ke also felt relief. He finally resolved the grievances between Sect Head Mo and his Great Kun Buddhist Sect. Otherwise, his Great Kun Buddhist Sect could only follow the example of the Great Sword Path or learn from the Lightning Sect and vanish without a trace. Either way, the sect would basically cease to exist in the Immortal World. Ping Fan Immortal School had expanded to more than multiple times its original size. Because there were many people that supported Ping Fan, the sect stood far more majestic than before. Originally, Mo Wuji even intended to install a large scale lightning tempering array. However, Monk Xing Shan was especially anxious about the matter of Tian Ji, he could only prepare a temporary lightning tempering pond for Mo Qingche. Thereafter, he followed the group out of Ping Fan Immortal School and towards the site of Tian Ji. ¡­ "What a great flying car. This car seems to have been forged not long ago, could it be a work of Smith Emperor Xu Suren?" Gai Ying exclaimed in wonderment when he saw the array flags and array runes along the flying car. In the Immortal World, there were extremely few Smith Emperors that could forge Grade 9 immortal equipment. Whether it was in terms of defences or speed, Mo Wuji''s flying car was at the very top. In Gai Ying''s perspective, only Xu Suren could have forged this flying car. Qing Yang sighed and said, "The Heavenly Emperor''s judgement is wrong. If I am right, this flying car should have been forged by Sect Head Mo himself." Gai Ying was momentarily stunned. He already suspected his eyes when he saw Mo Wuji install a sect protecting array which even exceeded Grade 9 immortal arrays. If Mo Wuji was also a Grade 9 Smith Emperor, then¡­ "This flying car is indeed forged by me," Mo Wuji smiled and said. "Sect Head Mo is truly the number one genius in our Immortal World," Gai Ying sighed," I didn''t think that my acumen would be worse than my daughter, Feiyan." If he heard these words before he met that brown haired man that was hunting Yan Li, Mo Wuji would have really felt contented. But now that he met that brown-haired man, Mo Wuji knew that his bit of abilities was truly not worth mentioning. It was just like when he was in the Worldly Immortal Stage back in the cultivation world, he still felt as though he wasn¡¯t at the top. This was because even though he was standing at the peak of the cultivation world, he still couldn¡¯t see the light. In front of him, there were only taller mountains. Qing Yang also had similar thoughts as Gai Ying; previously, she thought that Mo Wuji didn''t have any potential for growth and decided to go against her initial thoughts of betrothing Qing Ruoyue to Mo Wuji. If she knew that Mo Wuji would have progressed to such a stage, she wouldn''t have dared about how shameless it might seem, she would have tried to bring Qing Ruoyue and Mo Wuji together. "Sect Head Mo, that Zhu Yin really didn''t have any means of resisting you?" Qing Yang changed the topic. The moment she thought about Qing and Mo Wuji, she would get vexed. Mo Wuji''s expression turned serious, "No, this person is extremely strong. If he didn''t underestimate me or overestimate himself, even if I could win him, it wouldn''t have been an easy victory." Even though Mo Wuji seemed to have defeated Zhu Yin easily, Mo Wuji was very clear that Zhu Yin still had many methods which he didn''t reveal. It was primarily because he had just emerged from Soul Seal Prison that Zhu Yin''s self-confidence swelled, causing him to underestimate Mo Wuji. Of course, even if that fella didn''t underestimate him, Mo Wuji didn''t have any reason to fear. [1] Xing Shan means to do good deeds. Chapter 869: I Want To Change The Heavenly Emperor Chapter 869: I Want To Change The Heavenly Emperor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations What Mo Wuji didn''t expect was that even though they didn''t use any transfer arrays, they were still able to reach their destination in merely two days. Moreover, the place looked very familiar. To put it in other words, the site of Tian Ji was in the same Immortal Domain as his Ping Fan Immortal School. "This is Yong Ying''s Immortal Chasm?" Mo Wuji asked with furrowed brows. Yong Ying Immortal Chasm was the chasm to Half Immortal Domain. Those years ago, he even traversed across it. "That''s right. This is Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Edge of Yong Ying. To think about it, it is in the same Immortal Domain as Sect Head Mo''s Ping Fan Immortal School," Gai Ying answered. Mo Wuji saw at least ten experts not far away, he even recognised a few of them. This included Heavenly Emperor Zizai and Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun. This place was truly too familiar; back when he traversed across Yong Ying''s Immortal Chasm, there was a killing array here. However, at this moment, that array was no longer present; it should have already been destroyed. "This place used to be restrained by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth; only Golden Immortals and below could come here. But not long ago, it suddenly changed. Cultivators from lower worlds could ascend into the Immortal World and the Laws here are no longer oppressed by the Heaven and Earth," Qing Yang explained. Mo Wuji came to a realisation. Back when he first came, there were indeed restrains to the Laws of the Heaven and Earth here. He even made use of those restraints to kill some Golden Immortals from the Immortal World. It was just that he cultivated the Mortal Dao, causing him to not face any of these restraints. This was why he didn''t think about it at the very first moment. "Greetings Sect Head Mo¡­" The ten over experts guarding over the Yong Ying Immortal Chasm all came over to greet. News of Mo Wuji''s deeds had already spread over here. Thus, no one here dared to show any disrespect to Mo Wuji. Even though Kui Fengyun eagerly wanted to kill Mo Wuji, Kui Fengyun knew that he couldn''t kill the current Mo Wuji. In fact, if Mo Wuji had any killing intent towards him, he was the one that was going to be easily killed. "Kui Fengyun greets Sect Head Mo." At this instant, Kui Fengyun''s heart was palpitating in uncertainty; he was incomparably respectful towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s eyes swept across Kui Fengyun coldly, his tone did not contain half a strand of respect as he said, "Kui Fengyun, now that cultivators can ascend to the Immortal World, are you going to think of another method to kill those newly ascended cultivators?" Kui Fengyun jolted and he hurriedly said, "I don''t dare. I have long realised my mistake. Without cultivators ascending to the Immortal World, my Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s power gradually got weaker. I''ve already ordered the great efforts to protect newly ascended cultivators." At this instant, Kui Fengyun could only curse in his heart. Why must this problem happen in his Yong Ying Immortal Domain? If it wasn''t in Yong Ying, he definitely wouldn''t have come. But now that it had happened in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, as its Heavenly Emperor, he couldn''t find a reason not to come even if he was searching from a pool of a million reasons. Even though Xing Shan and co. hoped that Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t get caught up in such trivial matters and to hurry over to the site of Tian Ji, they didn¡¯t dare to come forward and offend Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji coldly snorted, "As the Heavenly Emperor, you were too selfish and your cultivation is also too weak. I''m too lazy to accuse you of a crime. After this matter ends, hand your position as the Heavenly Emperor to Wei Zidao." In reality, Mo Wuji had long been discontented with Kui Fengyun''s rule as the Heavenly Emperor. This fella was too selfish; he had never considered the Immortal Domain in his decisions. With such a Heavenly Emperor, the Immortal Domain would eventually be doomed. His Ping Fan Immortal School was in Yong Ying Immortal Domain. If Kui Fengyun continued to imprison the talents that ascend to Yong Ying Immortal Domain from the cultivation world, then Yong Ying would eventually grow weaker than the others. Ping Fan, being in Yong Ying Immortal Domain, wouldn''t be any better off either. "Ah¡­" Kui Fengyun even prepared for the scenario if Mo Wuji attacked him. However, he never expected that Mo Wuji would directly remove him from his position as a Heavenly Emperor. Did this fella think he was the Dao Emperor of the Very High Heavens? He could just decide who the Heavenly Emperor was going to be? A voice filled with derision sounded, "Mo Wuji, others respect your Pill Dao and call you Sect Head Mo, but you actually consider yourself as the Dao Emperor of the Very High Heavens? Yong Ying Immortal Domain''s Heavenly Emperor had been decided on a long time ago, how can it be changed along with your whims? Moreover, who are you to meddle with what a Heavenly Emperor does?" The one speaking was a black-robed old man behind Kui Fengyun. Mo Wuji had sensed that this fella was a Grand Emperor some time ago. "Who are you?" Mo Wuji''s tone was icy cold. "This Emperor is the Grand Protector of Yong Ying Immortal Domain, Chang Beihe. Mo Wuji, I know that your sacred arts are strong and that I am not your opponent. However, Yong Ying Immortal Domain is not a place where you can cover over its skies with your hands and have it go along with your dictations. You are merely a sect head but you actually want to interfere with the matters of Yong Ying Immortal Domain and interfere with the matters of the Heavenly Emperor¡­" The surrounding people glanced towards each other; they really didn''t know what madness Chang Beihe was going on about. Mo Wuji even dared to challenge Zi Changluo, you think that he wouldn''t dare to attack you? A mere protector? Mo Wuji was too lazy to speak; he directly released a punch towards Chang Beihe. He didn''t even use his domain but his fist still easily tore through Chang Beihe''s domain. "Sect Head Mo, please stop." When Xing Shan saw Mo Wuji''s actions, he hurriedly tried to step forward to stop Mo Wuji. It was just that Gai Ying blocked his way. Qing Yang, Gai Ying, and those of the likes could tell that something was wrong with Chang Beihe. As a Grand Emperor, he still dared to challenge Mo Wuji despite knowing about his deeds. Wasn''t he simply courting his death? Kui Fengyun''s face changed and he didn''t move. He was very clear that he was the number one person that Mo Wuji wanted to kill here. If he dared to make a move, he might be Mo Wuji''s next target. Moreover, he could tell that Chang Beihe was indeed trying to court his own death. "Kacha!" This fist of Mo Wuji''s easily landed on Chang Beihe''s chest; even those at the furthest edge could hear the sound of cracking. Mo Wuji could defeat Zhu Yin and he could even kill multiple Grand Emperors. It really wouldn''t be strange to see him kill Chang Beihe this easily. What left everyone shocked was that after this fist landed on Chang Beihe, a black mist oozed out of Chang Beihe''s body. His aura didn''t get weaker, and in fact, it became slightly stronger. Before everyone could even react, they saw a scene that left them in greater disbelief: Chang Beihe actually whipped out his magic treasure. Logically, even if Mo Wuji''s fist wasn''t able to kill Chang Beihe, Chang Beihe still wouldn''t be able to retaliate with such energy and spirit. But when Chang Beihe finally attacked, everyone saw that Chang Beihe''s target actually wasn''t Mo Wuji, but Kui Fengyun. Even Monk Xing Shan understood what happened. There seemed to be a seal within Chang Beihe''s body and that fist of Mo Wuji''s helped to remove that seal. Looking at Chang Beihe''s actions, anyone that wasn''t a fool could tell who was the one who laid the seal. Indeed, when he saw Chang Beihe''s attack locked onto himself, Kui Fengyun''s face changed. He immediately retrieved a talisman. But at the instant where he wanted to activate that talisman, he suddenly felt the space around him harden. A hint of hatred flashed across his eyes. He knew that Chang Beihe didn''t have the capability to do such a thing; Mo Wuji definitely was the one. "Pff!" Chang Beihe''s magic treasure landed on Kui Fengyun''s body, turning Kui Fengyun into a mist of blood. Chang Beihe''s hand flipped, sweeping Kui Fengyun''s storage ring into his hand..He immediately handed the ring over to Mo Wuji and said, "Many thanks to Sect Head Mo for your saving grace. This is the ring of Kui Fengyun that thief." Mo Wuji did not show any courtesy as he kept that ring. Chang Beihe was seeking to die. On the contrary, he saved Chang Beihe''s life. After accepting the ring, Mo Wuji didn''t pry into the incident that happened between Chang Beihe and Kui Fengyun. He smiled and faced the crowd, "I was once the sect head of Tian Ji Sect and I heard that this is the site of Tian Ji. I still need those that arrived earlier to tell me when the site of Tian Ji first appeared." When even a person of Yong Ying Immortal Domain like Mo Wuji didn''t ask about what happened between Kui Fengyun and Chang Beihe, the others were even less willing to ask about it. Heavenly Emperor Zizai was more familiar with Mo Wuji. He stood up and said, "This place used to be the Immortal Chasm. However, when Half Immortal Domain collapsed, this Immortal Chasm began to spread outwards. A passage appeared nearby. This passage opens intermittently and every time it opens, it will open for roughly half a day. However, any cultivator that entered this passage would indubitably die¡­" Just as Heavenly Emperor Zizai got here, a mist began to form over the innocuous-looking Immortal Chasm. Following which, an entirely new sight appeared before everyone. A huge stone, hundreds of meters tall, stood tall above the mist. At the top of this huge stone, there seemed to be another stone that lay horizontally. The moment Mo Wuji saw this sight, he knew that Qing Yang and co. were right; this really matched the faint image on his white Sect Head Token. This huge stone was standing above a marsh, which was also described in the jade letter than Su Zi¡¯An gave him. Indeed, there was a strong energy of destructive wafting out from that passage. It felt equivalent to an ordinary person standing on top of a landmine - extremely uncomfortable. "When you go closer, you will see two words on that horizontal stone. Those two words are ¡®Tian Ji¡¯," Gai Ying explained. "Over the few days that you all went here, something else happened," Heavenly Emperor Zizai added. "What happened?" Monk Xing Shan seemed especially concerned over the events here. This was why he was extremely anxious. "Another two people went in. However, their corpses haven¡¯t been sent out," Heavenly Emperor Zizai said solemnly. Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, "Don¡¯t tell me that when people enter and die inside, their corpses would be sent out?" "Yes. As long as anyone dies inside, their corpses would be sent out. It seems as though something inside feels disgust towards these corpses," Gai Ying explained. "Anyone recognises these two people? And did they go in together?" This time, it was Mo Wuji¡¯s turn to be anxious. Standing by Heavenly Emperor Zizai¡¯s side, a pale clean-shaven man said, "I recognised one of them; he was the Very High Heavens¡¯ Hu Chisheng." Hu Chisheng? Why did this name sound so familiar? Mo Wuji soon recalled when he heard of this fella. This fella screwed over Han Yi, who was the ancestor of Han Long. Even though Han Long didn¡¯t come to Ping Fan Immortal School, she was also considered one of them. Moreover, Han Yi was the one that brought Da Huang to the Immortal World. Chapter 870: The Land Of Tian Ji Chapter 870: The Land Of Tian Ji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Heavenly Emperor Zizai also said, "Even though I didn¡¯t recognise the second person, I could tell that he was wearing a mask. Moreover, I could sense that he was very young; young to the point of disbelief." As he was speaking, Heavenly Emperor Zizai glanced towards Mo Wuji, implying that the second fella¡¯s age was comparable to Mo Wuji¡¯s. Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly asked, "Immortal Friend Zizai, you mean that the second person is roughly the same age as me? How was his cultivation?" "I¡¯m afraid that his cultivation is not weaker than mine and I¡¯m unable to discern it clearly. I even suspect that I¡¯ve seen him before," Heavenly Emperor Zizai said honestly. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank; he was 100% sure that the second person was Lei Hongji. That fella possessed the Tian Ji Sword. Now that the site of Tian Ji has appeared, that fella definitely wouldn¡¯t miss out on this opportunity. "Sect Head Mo, you can also feel the terrifying energy from within the passage. In terms of power, I believe that Sect Head Mo is already standing at the absolute peak of the Immortal World. This problem is not one that can be solved with greater numbers. With our current powers, even if we can install powerful seals over the passage, they will still be to no avail in the face of such terrifying energy," Xing Shan tried hard to speak in an indirect and tactful manner. It was just that he wasn¡¯t an expert at doing so. Anyone that heard Xing Shan¡¯s words could tell what he was implying. He was saying that Mo Wuji was the strongest person in the Immortal World; among all of them here, only Mo Wuji could take a look inside. The others all prepared for Mo Wuji¡¯s rejection. And if Mo Wuji really rejected Xing Shan¡¯s words, everyone could only join hands to seal this place, then find a way to get to the Very High Heavens. Even though there were seven Immortal Domains in the Immortal World and each Immortal Domain was separated by the vast void, the Laws across the Immortal Domains were connected. If this energy of destruction explodes, the Laws of the Heaven and Earth would collapse. When that happens, Yong Ying Immortal Domain wouldn¡¯t be the only one that gets destroyed. "Alright, I will go in and take a look. But if I¡¯m unable to escape, then I would have to request for everyone¡¯s help to take care of my Ping Fan Immortal School," Mo Wuji answered in a straightforward manner; he did not beat around the bush. "Sect Head Mo, my life was saved by you. In the future, when Immortal Friend Zidao takes over as the Heavenly Emperor, I, Chang Beihe, would definitely show him my full support," Chang Beihe was the first to clasp his fists. "Alright, farewell everyone." With that, Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed and he directly entered that passage. The remaining people didn¡¯t even have time to react. Why was Mo Wuji so forthright and straightforward? Why didn¡¯t he even ask for any benefits? Xing Shan sighed, "Sect Head Mo is truly a hero among men. I, Xing Shan, am inferior." Qing Yang could only shake her head. She didn¡¯t know whether she should be complimenting Mo Wuji or sighing for him. They did have intentions of asking Mo Wuji to enter the passage when they invited him over, but Mo Wuji always seemed to rush through things. He didn¡¯t even prepare himself; he simply entered the passage. He was the same those years ago. And it was exactly because of his straightforward and direct way of doing things which caused him to be pursued by multiple Grand Emperors. After Mo Wuji entered, Gai Ying stepped forward and said, "Because of certain reasons, our Immortal World¡¯s strength gets weaker as the days pass. Sect Head Mo should be the strongest expert of our Immortal World. No matter what happens, we should still prepare for the worst and start to install a seal over the passage." Gai Ying¡¯s words immediately received the acknowledgement from everyone. Everyone all took out their best materials and started to join hands to install a grand seal. Whether this seal was successful or not, they were still going to attempt to form it. ¡­ If he didn¡¯t know that Lei Hongji had already entered, Mo Wuji might actually have prepared a plan and asked for some benefits before entering the site of Tian Ji. But now that he knew that Lei Hongji was a step ahead of him, how could Mo Wuji still have the time to think about anything else? Only Mo Wuji knew exactly how terrifying Lei Hongji was. Moreover, since Heavenly Emperor Zizai said that Lei Hongji¡¯s cultivation was no weaker than his, it would mean that Lei Hongji had also stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage. The reason why he, Mo Wuji, could step into the Immortal Emperor Stage at such a fast pace was because of his Immortal Mortal Technique and his 108 meridians. At the same time, he obtained vast amounts of green crystals in the Heaven¡¯s Beyond Cosmos. This Tian Ji Secret Domain was definitely far from simple. If Lei Hongji managed to conquer it, then it would definitely have a huge impact on the gap between Lei Hongji and him. The moment he entered the passage, Mo Wuji linked to his six pages of the Book of Luo. The moment anything feels amiss, he would immediately activate his Book of Luo to protect himself. The curious thing was that there wasn¡¯t even any form of danger. Besides the deep concentrated elemental energy here, this whole passage was a blur. He wasn¡¯t even able to release his spiritual will. Mo Wuji cultivated with green crystals before. The moment this natural elemental energy flooded towards him, he could feel that a portion of the energy was similar to the energy of the green crystal. And even though his spiritual will couldn¡¯t be released, Mo Wuji still had his spiritual eye. Condensing his spiritual eye, a vast and boundless swamp appeared in front of Mo Wuji. What¡¯s different from usual was that this swamp was inclined downwards. Additionally, there weren¡¯t any signs of life in the swamp; even the puddles around the swamp were all dried up. At the centre of this downward-sloping swamp, there stood the huge stone. When Mo Wuji saw that stone previously, he estimated that it was only 300 meters at the very most. But now, he could see that this huge stone was at least multiple times of that. At the top of this huge stone, there was indeed another piece of stone laying horizontally. Two words could be seen on the horizontal stone - Tian Ji. As Mo Wuji moved forward, the natural elemental energy around him got thicker. In less than a single breath¡¯s time, the space around him suddenly started to bend and a violent force began to tear at Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Even though Mo Wuji had a late stage God Physique, trails of blood still started to form throughout his body. At this instant, Mo Wuji finally understood why no one was able to escape. The Laws of Heaven and Earth over this area were too strange. He had his Book of Luo but his Book of Luo couldn¡¯t even be activated. Perhaps he might be able to use his Book of Luo once he fully refines it, but for now, he wasn¡¯t able to use it at all. Even with his spirit storage channel, he was unable to make use of his defensive treasure. There was no need to talk about others; it was definitely impossible for them to use their defensive treasures. That fella that managed to escape definitely must have been a physique tempering expert. Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, he suddenly felt a pain akin to ant bites over the injuries that just formed over his body. Following which, a layer of faint white smoke oozed out from his injuries. Mo Wuji''s detoxification channel immediately went into reverse circulation. Very soon, the remaining meridians all joined it in circulation. As this happened, smoke continuously got expelled from Mo Wuji''s injuries. Mo Wuji was inwardly very impressed. The spatial distortions that could easily tear through the bodies of cultivators actually weren''t the most terrifying threats here. Instead, it was the poison which entered him without him even noticing it. If he didn''t have his detoxification channel, he would have already died by now. Even though he was a Tier 9 Pill Emperor, he wasn''t sure that he could resolve this poison through his pills alone. Since the two people that went ahead of him were still alive, it was clear that the two of them were truly impressive. Mo Wuji did have some idea as to how powerful Hu Chisheng was. This fella had lived for god knows how many years, and if he wasn''t strong, he wouldn''t have been able to kill Han Long¡¯s ancestor, Han Yi. On the other hand, if the other fella was really Lei Hongji and if Lei Hongji was really still alive, then he would need to reevaluate Lei Hongji''s strength. Mo Wuji proceeded with greater caution and speed. Soon, Mo Wuji reached the edge of this strange swarm. To his astonishment, he discovered that the huge stone, which should have been near the centre of the swamp, was now further in the depths of the swamp. Indeed, this was a peculiar place. As Mo Wuji stood at the edge of the swamp, his spiritual eye saw that there was only one direction in the swamp where the natural elemental energy was getting thicker. The other directions were much weaker in comparison. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to enter into the swamp. The spatial distortions got stronger and stronger; the pressure that Mo Wuji''s body had to bear also got increasingly terrifying. At this instant, Mo Wuji really appreciated the fact that he was a true physique temperer. Otherwise, he really would have died by now. Perhaps he could try retreating, but he had a faint premonition that he wouldn''t be able to retreat. His physique tempering technique also went into circulation. What delighted Mo Wuji endlessly was that this place was actually very suitable to temper his body. Moreover, as the spatial distortions caused more injuries to form throughout his body, more poison was absorbed into his detoxification channel. The poison was converted into a form of elemental energy and this elemental energy was able to strengthen Mo Wuji''s body at a hitherto unheard of pace. Mo Wuji had been stuck in God Physique Level 7 for a very long time. But this time, he only needed a short moment to step into God Physique Level 8. If not for the secrets of Tian Ji and the fact that Lei Hongji was a step ahead of him, Mo Wuji would have stayed here to cultivate. After all, this place was truly too suitable to temper his body. ¡­ With his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji saw that this swamp was vast and boundless. However, in reality, this swamp wasn¡¯t really without an end. At the end of the swamp, there was a door. Behind that door, there was a hall with no walls. If the walls couldn''t even be seen, one could only imagine how vast this hall was. If not for that door and the hard ground, perhaps this place would simply be the void. At this instant, there were three people facing each other in the hall. If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely have recognised one of them as Leo Hongji. Even though Lei Hongji might be disguised and the two of them didn''t have many encounters, Mo Wuji would still be able to immediately notice Lei Hongji''s intense lightning-type dao aura. Among the other two, one was an old man with a slightly blurred face while the other was a young woman. Chapter 871: Familiar Woman Chapter 871: Familiar Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The two of you are actually able to reach here. That takes some abilities. No, I should say, that takes some secrets." The one speaking was that young woman. As she was speaking, the young woman suddenly opened her hand. A violent tornado suddenly seemed to sweep up around them. The other two hurriedly brought out their defensive treasures. This tornado soon disappeared. At the same time, the faces of the two other people changed. At this instant, the disguise of the black-robed man with the blurry face was revealed. He was a youth with slightly pale skin. The other person was also a young man; he had a long face and a pair of eagle-like eyes. Seeing this young woman easily remove their disguises with a simple opening of her hand, the two of them were incredibly shocked. They were both top class powerhouses of the entire Immortal World, but at this instant, both of them were unable to even see through this woman¡¯s cultivation. "This dao friend¡¯s methods are indeed not ordinary. However, it still shouldn¡¯t be easy for you to kill us, right? If we go all-out, I¡¯m sure that the regulation talisman on dao friend would definitely shatter." The one speaking was the pale-faced black-robed youth. Secretly, his heart was shaking in shock; he had not expected that Lei Hongji would appear here. Now that Lei Hongji¡¯s disguise had been destroyed by that young woman, he was naturally able to recognise Lei Hongji. Likewise, Lei Hongji also didn¡¯t think that he would meet the most mysterious subordinate of Zi Changluo here. He only knew that this fella¡¯s name was Hu Chisheng, nothing else. The young woman laughed blandly, seemingly dismissing the words of this pale-faced youth. She remained calm as she said, "If you don¡¯t have the Four Marks of Tian Ji, then screw off. If you don¡¯t believe me, the two of you can try attacking me together. Let¡¯s see whether I can kill the two of you." Lei Hongji suddenly said, "My name is Lei Hongji and I really don¡¯t believe you. If this senior sister really wants to fight, I, Lei Hongji, will accompany you to the very end." Hu Chisheng regained his composure the moment Lei Hongji said those words. Perhaps this young woman might be stronger than them but she was definitely bluffing when she said that she could squash them easily. He could not help but feel slightly ashamed. Because he was too cautious, he wasn¡¯t able to immediately tell that this woman was trying to deceive them. Just now, it must have been due to some unique sacred art which allowed her to destroy their disguises. It was not because she was leagues above them. Indeed, this young woman jolted slightly in response to Lei Hongji¡¯s words. She didn¡¯t utter any further threats. Even though this young woman didn¡¯t threaten them any further, Lei Hongji retrieved a sword and said, "This should be one of the marks of the Four Marks of Tian Ji that you mentioned, right?" This sword looked very ordinary, but at the same time, it looked strange. This sword didn¡¯t have a sword knob nor a sword blade; it was a sword with a sword point and sword face that were of equal thickness. "Tian Ji Sword!" The moment this woman saw the sword, she cried out in astonishment and her eyes turned serious. "I wonder if this sword is considered one of the four marks?" Lei Hongji said unhurriedly. The young woman nodded, "That¡¯s right. This is indeed one of the Four Marks of Tian Ji - Tian Ji Sword." Thereafter, her gaze landed on Hu Chisheng. Now that Lei Hongji had taken out the Tian Ji Sword, if Hu Chisheng didn¡¯t have anything to show, it was likely for Lei Hongji to join hands with her to deal with Hu Chisheng. Hu Chisheng opened his hand and a palm-sized black token appeared in his hand. Seeing the black token in Hu Chisheng¡¯s hand, a hint of delight flashed across the young woman¡¯s eyes. Indeed, only those that possess the Four Marks of Tian Ji could arrive here. "I wonder if this is considered one of the Four Marks of Tian Ji?" Hu Chisheng said gloomily. The young woman responded, "That¡¯s right. This is the Yin Mark of the Four Marks Of Tian Ji." Lei Hongji unhurriedly kept his Tian Ji Sword and said, "This dao friend, Dao Friend Hu Chisheng and I have both brought out our marks of Tian Ji. Aren''t you going to take yours out too?" The young woman didn''t retrieve anything. Instead, she said calmly, "I don''t have any of the four marks. But which one of you knows how to use the four marks to open Tian Ji? Only I know how to do it, so I have my own leverages. Of course, since we''re all working together, I will reveal my name. I am Yu Zhenna." "Then are we able to open Tian Ji now?" Hu Chisheng wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. He was different from Lei Hongji, he was dispatched to the Immortal World by Zi Changluo to destroy Ping Fan Immortal School. It was just that he discovered the site of Tian Ji, which was why he detracted from the mission to deal with Mo Wuji and came here instead. Thus, he didn''t know that the army sent by the Very High Heavens to deal with Mo Wuji had already been decimated, nor did he know that Lei Hongji had already killed Zi Changluo. "No. We need all Four Marks of Tian Ji to open Tian Ji." Yu Zhenna did not hesitate to reply. Hu Chisheng and Lei Hongji glanced towards each other. They were still missing two marks, so what bullsh*t ¡®working together¡¯ was she talking about. Yu Zhenna said calmly, "From the looks of it, the two of you still don''t know what are the Four Marks of Tian Ji. Since they''re called the Four Marks of Tian Ji, the people that possess them would definitely know that this place has opened. Once they do, they would come here. This is also part of heavenly fate." [Tian Ji is translated to heavenly fate]. "What if they enter but are unable to reach this place. What do we do then?" Lei Hongji asked worriedly. Yu Zhenna smiled faintly, "As long as it enters, each of the marks of Tian Ji will find their way here. If the person who possesses the mark of Tian Ji dies, the mark would automatically fly here. However, do you think that any random person could obtain a mark of Tian Ji?" Yu Zhenna didn''t need to continue speaking any further for Hu Chisheng and Lei Hongji to understand her meaning. She was saying that one must possess a certain level of heavenly fate and luck in order to obtain any one of the Four Marks of Tian Ji. "Since that''s the case, we will wait here." With that, Hu Chisheng retreated ten steps, closed his eyes and stopped speaking. The instant Hu Chisheng sat down, Yu Zhenna and Lei Hongji also retreated. They each found a spot to cultivate. ¡­ Following Mo Wuji''s continuous advancement, the pace of his physique tempering got increasingly faster. However, no matter how far he walked, the huge stone would always be in front of him. Five days later, Mo Wuji stopped. He had walked to the end of the swamp. Even at the end of the swamp, that huge stone was still erected in the distance. But at this point, it looked far taller. Mo Wuji didn''t pay attention to that huge stone. Instead, he was looking at the black door which was at the end of the swamp. This door was like an array gate; it stood alone at the end of this dried-up swamp. Mo Wuji''s Array Dao had long exceeded Immortal Grade 9. He was very clear that this wasn''t an array gate. This door was an ordinary door. However, there was dao energy flowing within this door, giving it an indescribable aura. Mo Wuji did not immediately step into the door. By this point, he had already calmed down significantly. He didn''t think that traversing this swamp would take him five days. Now that so many days had passed, Lei Hongji might already have found the treasure and it would be useless for him to go in and fight for the treasure. On the other hand, it was better for him to be careful and to use this opportunity to eliminate Lei Hongji. If Lei Hongji hadn''t even obtained the treasure, then there was even lesser need for him to worry. Mo Wuji condensed his spiritual eye and carefully peeped through the door. Behind the door was actually a vast and spacious hall; he couldn''t even see where the hall''s walls were. Within the hall, there were three people. These three people were sitting in a triangle, seemingly on guard against one another. Previously, Heavenly Emperor Zizai said that there were only two people that entered. But now, he clearly saw three and one of them was even a woman. Yu Zhenna seemed to notice Mo Wuji''s gaze; she actually opened her eyes. In an instant, Mo Wuji closed his spiritual eye. At the same time, his figure flashed, retreating by tens of kilometres and landing back within the swamp. If he didn''t guess wrong, the two young men inside should be Hu Chisheng and Lei Hongji. He had never seen Hi Chisheng before while he had battled with Lei Hongji once. On the other hand, he felt a strange sense of familiarity from that woman. That woman gave him a sense of danger, so huge to the point where he felt that he would immediately die if he walked through that door. As he inscribed hundreds of array runes around himself, Mo Wuji thought: Who¡¯s that woman? In merely a few breaths of time, Mo Wuji''s face turned pale. He finally remembered. Before returning to the Immortal World, he killed a mysterious brown-haired youth. That brown haired youth¡¯s cultivation was far higher than his. If not for that brown-haired youth''s cultivation being sealed by the regulation talisman and that talisman causing the youth''s entire body to tear apart, there was no need to talk about killing the youth, Mo Wuji might not even be able to withstand a single of his sacred arts. This woman actually looked similar to that brown-haired youth. By this time, if Mo Wuji didn''t know where that chilling sense of impending doom came from, then he would be too much of an idiot. Clearly, that brown haired youth was related to this young woman. If he went in, that young woman would definitely kill him to take revenge for that brown-haired youth... That''s still not right, Mo Wuji frowned. Only those with him would know that he killed that brown-haired youth. None of them would reveal that news, so how would this woman know about it? Mo Wuji shuddered. He finally came to an understanding. There was a 100% certainty that some sort of imprint latched onto him after he killed that brown-haired youth. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji was increasingly sure that he was right. No one would have noticed the spiritual will imprint besides that brown-haired youth''s family. Now that it was likely that this young man was a relative of that brown-haired youth, she would definitely discover the spiritual will imprint if he appeared before her. Mo Wuji''s expression turned slightly unsightly. He stood up and retreated another tens of kilometres before he stopped. This wasn''t his first or second time that someone left a spiritual will imprint on him. Thus, after he killed the brown-haired youth, he checked himself for any imprints but he didn''t find any. From the looks of it, he had been too careless. The imprint was still there; it was just that he didn''t locate it. As for the threat that this young woman posed to his life, Mo Wuji didn''t suspect it. The brown-haired youth was in the cultivation world; the pressure from the regulation talisman in the cultivation would definitely be at least two times the pressure here in the Immortal World. When he saw that young woman just now, he saw that there weren''t any blood cracks throughout her body like that brown-haired youth. With such power, would she even face any difficulty in killing him, Mo Wuji? Chapter 872: Four Marks Of Tian Ji Chapter 872: Four Marks Of Tian Ji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yu Zhenna lifted her head to face the door; her brows furrowed slightly. Was that a misperception? She actually felt that there was a person peeking at her through the door. Soon, Yu Zhenna placed that thought aside. No matter who it was, that person would definitely come in here ultimately. Thus, if it was not a misperception and if there was actually a person peeking at them, then that person would eventually come in. After obtaining this fortune, she would return. Her brother and her obtained two peak grade regulation talismans and secretly came to this lower realm. The two of them split apart in the void, so she didn''t know where her brother was now. As long as she obtains the opportunity here, it would be worth it even if her father locks her up for a period of time. ¡­ Mo Wuji sat within the swamp; his surroundings were hidden within a concealment array. His spiritual will from both his spirit storage channel and his sea of consciousness continuously flushed through his body. He searched every nook and cranny on his body at least ten times but the results always left him depressed. He was unable to find any imprint. If it was before, Mo Wuji might have thought that he was overthinking things. However, ever since he was ambushed by those three Grand Emperors and Quasi-Emperor, he would feel a deep sense of foreboding. Even back when he left Heavenly Chasm City, he also felt some bad omens. However, he still chose to head towards Ding Po Immortal City. Indeed, something bad happened and Han Qingru was even caught and thrown into Sword Prison. Moreover, that woman he saw was 70% similar to that brown-haired youth. This only left Mo Wuji more unwilling to take the risk. His spiritual will searched through his body another ten times but he still didn''t find anything. Mo Wuji stopped using his spiritual will; he felt that if he continued using such a method, he still wouldn''t find anything even after 10,000 years. He needed to find a new and reliable method. As Mo Wuji frowned and sat in contemplation, the spatial distortions in the air continued to tear Mo Wuji''s skin apart. As his skin continued to lacerate, Mo Wuji felt more pain throughout his body. This also caused him to awake from his rumination. His vitality channel went into circulation, healing the injuries caused by the spatial distortions. Looking at the cracks form on his skin before being completely healed by his vitality channel, Mo Wuji''s heart started pounding. He stopped his vitality channel from circulating. He even stopped his detoxification channel. Not only that, he burned the clothes on him and scraped off all his hair. After Mo Wuji stopped the detoxification and the healing of his injuries, his body started to get riddled with cracks. The spatial distortions caused injuries to form on every single inch of his body. Because he stopped the circulation of his detoxification channel, the poison in the air gathered around Mo Wuji. Soon, a white mist of poison could be seen rolling round him. His life force got weaker and weaker and his eyes started to turn dim. He still didn''t circulate his detoxification channel but started to use his spiritual will to search his entire body. This time, in just a few breaths, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will stopped near his heart. All his blood had been invaded by the poison and had started to turn white. However, a fist-sized blob of blood still continued to flow around his blood. It didn¡¯t show any signs that it was poisoned. In fact, it was still bright red. Mo Wuji was the one who created his own path of cultivation. Naturally, he was extremely clear about his own body. Under such venomous poison, he wouldn¡¯t be able to leave a blob of blood unaffected. There was definitely a problem with this unaffected blob of blood. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate as he gorged into his chest. He grabbed that blob of blood, threw it into a jade box and sealed it. By this time, Mo Wuji¡¯s bones started to emit a grey aura of death. The only reason why he was able to endure till now was because of his God Physique. After gorging out that blood blob, Mo Wuji struggled to consume a vitality pill and continued to use his spiritual will to inspect his body. After searching for three more times and verifying that there weren''t any abnormalities in his body, Mo Wuji started to circulate his detoxification channel to resolve the poison in his body. At the same time, his vitality channel also started reverse circulation to heal his injuries. If he delayed the detoxification any further, his meridians would have started to rot. His detoxification channel furiously went into reverse circulation. With his fastest speed, Mo Wuji expelled the venom within his body. From his previous experience, Mo Wuji was clear that he could temper his physique more efficiently here. Thus, while he expelled the venom out of his body, he also used his physique tempering technique and circulated it to the max. In merely a few cycles, Mo Wuji was stunned still. He had never felt that physique tempering was so easy before. His God Physique Level 8 soon reached the peak of the level and he was able to step into God Physique Level 9 without facing any bottlenecks. The moment he stepped into God Physique Level 9, Mo Wuji could clearly feel that the damage the spatial distortions could deal to him had fallen significantly. If he chose to activate his elemental energy, the spatial distortions wouldn''t even be able to leave scars on his body. In half a day, Mo Wuji''s detoxification channel had removed all the venom within him. At the same time, his physique stabilised at God Physique Level 9. Indeed, fortune and danger come together. If he simply stayed here and cultivate, it wouldn''t have been so easy for him to enter God Physique Level 9. After completely recovering, Mo Wuji allowed himself to get poisoned for the second time. Because the damage that the spatial distortions have on him had decreased, he had to forcibly absorb the poison in the air. After poisoning his entire body once more, Mo Wuji used spiritual will to search again. After verifying that there weren''t any abnormalities, he started to detoxify himself. After using poison to temper his physique twice, Mo Wuji''s physique had strengthened to the peak of God Physique Level 9. After changing into a set of clean clothes, Mo Wuji entered his Undying World. While in the Undying World, he opened that jade box. In that jade box, there was a blob of blood. This was the blob that he had just pulled out of his body. If he wasn''t poisoned, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to notice that this blood blob was different from the rest of his blood; this blood blob was completely mixed in with the rest of his blood. When he searched his body with his spiritual will, he wasn¡¯t able to notice this blood blob out of the rest of his blood. Even now, his spiritual will was unable to detect any abnormalities in this blood blob. It could clearly be seen how terrifying this imprint was. Moreover, Mo Wuji knew that if he decided to use this method to search for imprints right after he killed that brown-haired youth, his affected blood wouldn¡¯t be so huge as to form a blob. In order words, if he hadn¡¯t inspected his body now, perhaps all the blood in his body might have been converted by this imprint. Even if he used this poison method, he wouldn¡¯t be able to notice the difference. If someone told him that the imprint was within his blood, he wouldn''t even be able to remove it with his current level of cultivation. Would he have to release all the blood within his body? The more Mo Wuji thought about it, the more fearful he got. He didn''t know exactly who he killed, but he did know one thing: that brown-haired fella must definitely be of some terrifying background. The Undying World was Mo Wuji''s own world but he still didn''t dare to have this blood blob exist within it. He installed array after array around it and had the Book of Luo to guard him. Thereafter, he whipped out his Scholar¡¯s Heart and threw it at this blood blob. The Scholar¡¯s Heart was a Grade 9 immortal flame. Moreover, this was Mo Wuji¡¯s territory. The flame engulfed the blood blob and the blood blob was soon ignited and burned. An extremely small drop of blood floated within his defensive array. No matter how his Scholar¡¯s Heart tried to burn it, that blood drop didn¡¯t evaporate. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with shock. This imprint was so strong. Even his Grade 9 immortal flame was helpless against it. If the owner if this imprint were to discover it, wouldn¡¯t he definitely be screwed? Mo Wuji did not continue trying to burn this imprint. This was his Undying World. He even whipped out piles of array flags and installed arrays around this imprint. Not only that, he even used two pages of the Book of Luo to guard over this imprint. He didn¡¯t dare to casually throw this imprint away. If this imprint was thrown into the Immortal World and discovered by that expert who made it, then the entire Immortal World might be destroyed because of him. Leaving the Undying World and cleaning his tracks, Mo Wuji returned back to that huge door. He still didn''t go in immediately. Instead, he condensed his spiritual eye and continued to observe that vast and boundless hall. The moment Mo Wuji''s gaze landed on that woman, she turned her head to face the door and she sneered coldly. Mo Wuji knew that the first time he laid eyes on her, she knew that he would definitely return. This was why she didn''t chase after him. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate to step into the hall. This was because he no longer felt any sort of deathly threat. Clearly, that imprint was the existence that could have threatened his life. "I thought that you were going to hide for a few more days. I didn''t think that you would come so soon." Yu Zhenna stared at Mo Wuji. Her mouth arced into a smile of disdain. When Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng saw Mo Wuji, they also stood up. "Mo Wuji, it''s you? Previously, I didn''t manage to kill you. This time, I wanna see how much you''ve improved." Lei Hongji stared at Mo Wuji; his eyes were filled with incomparably sharp killing intent. Compared to Mo Wuji''s desire to kill him, his desire to kill Mo Wuji was far greater. He knew that Mo Wuji was strong and was also an Immortal Emperor. However, he, Lei Hongji, remained dauntless. Even though he was only in the early Immortal Emperor Stage, he was sure he could easily kill Zi Changluo in an open battle. Those that never crossed swords with him before wouldn''t know that he was completely different from other Immortal Emperors. Mo Wuji sneered, "If I recall correctly, I wasn''t the one that fled previously." "So you''re called Mo Wuji. It takes some capabilities to arrive here. Do you have the Four Marks of Tian Ji?" Yu Zhenna had no interest in the grudge between Mo Wuji and Lei Hongji. By the side, Hu Chisheng didn''t wait for Mo Wuji to speak as he brought out a black token and said, "The Four Marks of Tian Ji are four different kinds of things. My token here is the Yin Mark of the Yin Yang Marks. Lei Hongji''s sword is the Tian Ji Sword." Indeed, this black token was similar to his white token; there were also some faint diagrams on it. Looking at the three''s postures, Mo Wuji immediately knew that if he didn''t take out any of the Four Marks of Tian Ji, the three of them would probably join hands to attack him. There was no need to talk about joining hands; Mo Wuji guessed that he wouldn''t even be a match for that young woman. This woman was definitely related to that brown haired man; they looked far too similar. "What do the Four Marks of Tian Ji do?" Mo Wuji didn''t immediately retrieve his Tian Ji Pole and his white token. Instead, he asked a question. Chapter 873: Extracting Fate Chapter 873: Extracting Fate Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "If you don''t have any of the Four Marks of Tian Ji, then f*ck off. If you have one, then I will naturally explain," Yu Zhenna said harshly. She felt great contempt towards this cowardly Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji completely ignored Yu Zhenna as he walked into the depths of this hall. Su Rou''Er had said it before, the white token and the Tian Ji Pole could also open this place. Thus, he was going to go in and take a look. He could tell that Yu Zhenna was being restrained by a regulation talisman. However, he could also guess that he still wouldn''t be a match for her. Even so, he wanted to test out this woman''s capabilities. In the event that they had to vie for treasures, he needed to know where he stood at the very least. Expectedly, the moment Mo Wuji went about on his own, Yu Zhenna suddenly opened her hand and a hand of elemental energy grabbed towards Mo Wuji. The Laws of Space was instantly activated by this elemental hand as it tried to seal Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji turned and released a punch. This was his most ordinary Domain Smashing Fist; he didn''t even imbue it with his immortal flames. "Boom!" The Laws of Space that tried to seal Mo Wuji were instantly blown apart, it was as though a lorry¡¯s tyre had exploded suddenly. The energy that sealed Mo Wuji then transformed into an elemental hammer which slammed against Mo Wuji''s chest. Bang! A muffled sound resounded throughout the hall. Mo Wuji was sent flying for tens of meters before he finally landed on the ground. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, he was far weaker than this young woman. But it was also clear that this young woman was restrained by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth and she didn''t dare to use her full power. Otherwise, that simple exchange would have already been enough to shatter his limbs. Clearly, he still had some power to contest with them. This was unless this young woman chose to ignore her regulation talisman and forcefully try to kill him. With this young woman''s current power, she could threaten his life if she decided to forcefully ignore the Laws. This young woman was definitely not simple. At the very least, her background wasn''t simple. At this instant, Mo Wuji was especially glad that he had removed the imprint before entering. Otherwise, his consequences would be too disastrous to consider. "Eh." Yu Zhenna exclaimed in astonishment when she saw Mo Wuji accept the brunt of her elemental hammer and only retreat a few tens of meters. She thought that with that blow, she would have at least forced Mo Wuji to cough out blood. From the looks of it, she had underestimated the experts in this realm. "You''re not bad. You deserve the rights to be here and know about the Four Marks of Tian Ji. There''s no need for you to go deeper in because without all Four Marks of Tian Ji, we are completely unable to release the fate of Tian Ji. So, there''s no use in you going in alone." Yu Zhenna didn''t continue attacking. Even though she was restrained by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth here, she didn''t use her full power in her previous attack. However, she could also guess that Mo Wuji didn''t go all-out in that fist of his. Mo Wuji also didn''t continue moving on his own. Su Rou''Er''s information had been passed through many hands, so it might not necessarily be accurate. Even Yuan Yi, who established Tian Ji Sect, might not be fully clear of the exact situation. "Is this one of the Four Marks of Tian Ji?" Mo Wuji brought out his white token. "That''s right. That¡¯s the Yang Mark of the Yin Yang Marks." Yu Zhenna said delightedly when her eyes landed on the white token in Mo Wuji''s hand. By now, she had a rough understanding of Mo Wuji''s character; Mo Wuji was a person that wouldn''t bend in the face of threats. Lei Hongji had long guessed that the Yang Mark would be with Mo Wuji. Thus, he didn''t find it strange when Mo Wuji brought the white token out. Hu Chisheng clasped his fists and said, "Sect Head Mo, let me make the introductions. I am Hu Chisheng of the Very High Heavens and this is Lei Hongji from the Lightning Sect. I believe the two of you are already acquainted. Also, the one that just attacked you is Dao Friend Yu Zhenna. Her origins are still unknown." Hu Chisheng carefully stoked the flames between Mo Wuji and Yu Zhenna. Currently, he was also slightly curious as to how Mo Wuji could appear here. However, he didn''t ask Mo Wuji about it; he didn''t even care about such matters. Zi Changluo might have dispatched him to kill Mo Wuji, but to him, it was simply a matter of convenience. In his eyes, whether it was Lei Hongji or Mo Wuji, they were only brats that he could easily deal with. "I wonder if Dao Friend Mo knows about the tale of fate?" Yu Zhenna asked. Mo Wuji shook his head, "Never heard it." Even though he never heard it, Mo Wuji knew that fate existed. Whether it was a person, a sect or a world, they all had fates. "The land of Tian Ji has extracted the fate of the Immortal World. This sort of fate is majestic and vast. It could be said that even if this fate is split equally among the four of us, each of one will be able to pull ahead of the masses. We will be able to step onto the peerless path of the Dao and stand at the pinnacle of the entire universe¡­" Before Yu Zhenna could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mo Wuji, "You''re saying that this place is extracting the fate of the Immortal World?" This time, Yu Zhenna didn''t have to be the one to answer. Lei Hongji sneered, "Natural fate has always been predestined. Do you think fate comes out of thin air? The disasters befalling the Immortal World and even the fact that there are seven Immortal Domains are because the Immortal World''s fate has been extracted." Hu Chisheng nodded, "Since a long time ago, I knew that someone was extracting the fate of the Immortal World. Do you know that there used to be ten Immortal Domains in the Immortal World? When fate is extracted, it will cause a person or even a cosmos to collapse. A planet without fate would be struck by meteorites and debris, and it would ultimately be destroyed. On the other hand, if a planet has its own fate, it would condense its own Laws. These Laws would protect it from collapsing. The fate of the Immortal World had been gradually extracted for a long time. Because the entrance of the extraction is Yong Ying Immortal Domain, Yong Ying Immortal Domain has become the weakest Immortal Domain. Eventually, it would also be the first Immortal Domain to crumble." Mo Wuji''s heart sunk. He was very clear about what was going on. If Yu Zhenna''s words were really true and if he obtained the fate here, even if it was only one-quarter of the total, it would provide incomparable benefits to his Great Dao. However, he didn''t have such intentions. If he did so, he would be nothing more than a leech. If he really did this, then wouldn''t the Immortal World eventually be reduced to the state of the environmentally damaged Earth? Because the Earth''s environment had been damaged, Earthlings were forced to leave Earth and find other planets. If the fate of the Immortal World was fully extracted, what would the Immortal World be left with? He cultivated in the Immortal World and absorbed its immortal spiritual energy. If he really extracted the fate of the Immortal World, then he would be too much of an ingrate. This was worse than biting the hand that feeds you. At the same time, he understood why Monk Xing Shan, Gai Ying and co. all felt forebodings. Their forebodings were true. If the group of them really divided the fate here, then the Immortal World was likely to collapse. "Will anyone know if we divide the fate in here?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. He really wanted to kill the three people here, but he was very clear that he definitely wouldn''t be able to defeat that Yu Zhenna. Yu Zhenna''s tone was also calm as she said, "The Immortal World''s fate has been extracted to this place but it still remains in the Immortal World. So before we divide up this fate, no one would know. After we split the fate up among ourselves, it is likely that the Immortal World would collapse. By that time, the Immortal World will no longer be related to us." What a vicious woman. Even though he knew that he couldn''t kill this woman, his heart still burned in killing intent. Among the four of them here, he was the only one that wanted to leave the fate here for the Immortal World. If they really decided to fight, he would have no chances of winning. "I have one final question. Is this extraction of fate due to artificial or natural reasons?" Mo Wuji''s tone was slightly excited as he clasped his fists and asked. In reality, there was no need for Mo Wuji to act excited. Because no one here would suspect that Mo Wuji would try to return the fate back to the Immortal World. Only an idiot would reject this extracted fate after knowing its vast benefits. "Tian Ji is an ancient existence. It could be considered a primordial form of fate. However, this primordial fate wouldn''t extract the fate from other objects, but absorb the fate from the vast cosmos to strengthen itself. Many years ago, a peerless expert found this place. During that time, the Immortal World''s fate had yet to reach its peak. That expert made use of Tian Ji to build this location to extract the fate of the Immortal World. Unfortunately, he didn''t manage to reap the benefits of his actions. He was pursued by his enemies and has since vanished without a trace." Yu Zhenna seemed to be much more patient towards Mo Wuji than towards Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng. Mo Wuji asked confusedly, "If we take away the fate, will others also be able to do so in the future?" Yu Zhenna laughed coldly, "Ignorance is so pitiable. Is fate so easy to take? This place has the primordial fate of Tian Ji and it is also able to extract the fate of the Immortal World due to that ancient expert. Even so, we still need to use the Four Marks of Tian Ji in order to open this place. The moment this land of fate opens, it will be reduced into nothingness. Even if the Immortal World manages to avoid collapse, who would still be able to extract the fate of the Immortal World? Even if you are a lord of Gods, you cannot dream of doing it." "What''s a lord of Gods?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. Yu Zhenna''s gaze swept across Mo Wuji disdainfully. This time, she couldn''t even be bothered to answer him. Mo Wuji also didn''t have any further questions. He clasped his fists and said, "Three Dao Friends, we haven''t taken an actual look at the place where Tian Ji is extracting fate. Why don''t we go in and take a look?" "Without the Tian Ji Pole, we would only be wasting our time," Yu Zhenna said coldly. Mo Wuji did not seem to mind; he continued speaking, "If we don''t go, how would we know its a waste? Little lady, you know much more about this place than the three of us. Could you be trying to deceive the three of us, which is why you''re stopping us from taking a look?" "Who''s a little lady?" Yu Zhenna''s eyes went large and killing intent exploded out of her. If not because she knew that she wasn''t able to immediately kill Mo Wuji, she might have already swatted him. Hu Chisheng saw the opportunity and hurriedly said, "Sect Head Mo is also right. We can go take a look at how the site of extraction looks like first. I believe that when the holder of the Tian Ji Pole arrives, he would know to go there." Lei Hongji added, "That''s right. After all, we aren''t familiar with this place." Seeing that the three agreed to go in and take a look, Yu Zhenna could only say, "Since that''s the case, then let''s go in and take a look." Chapter 874: Fifth Mark Of Tian Ji Chapter 874: Fifth Mark Of Tian Ji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Indeed, this hall was very huge. The group walked for an entire hour but they still couldn''t see its walls. Mo Wuji inwardly praised his luck. If Yu Zhenna and the other two weren''t near the door, he might have directly entered. The moment he entered, Yu Zhenna might discover the imprint he got from killing that brown-haired youth and the consequences would be too disastrous to consider. After walking for another incense''s time, the group stopped. In front of them wasn''t the wall of the hall, but a rune sheet. This rune sheet looked transparent and it rippled with powerful dao laws. Ordinary methods definitely weren''t able to open those dao runes. At the same time, Mo Wuji wondered whether his Kun Wu Sword could slice this sheet open. After all, Kun Wu was one of the ten ancient godswords. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was completely unable to penetrate through this sheet. "This is the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. These runes on the exterior of this sheet is a peak-grade primordial fate array. It¡¯s said that no one can replicate this sort of array because it can only form with the primordial fate of Tian Ji. Within the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate, is the land where the Immortal World¡¯s fate is being extracted." Yu Zhenna pointed at that rune-filled sheet and said. "Then how do we open this Sheet of Fate?" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was feeling slight uncertainty. Even with his attainments in the Array Dao, he was actually unable to see that this was actually a huge array. Yu Zhenna said indifferently, "We¡¯ll take when the Tian Ji Pole arrives." Mo Wuji was truly helpless. If he was in her position and believed that all four marks hadn¡¯t been gathered, he would have said the same thing. Yu Zhenna shot Mo Wuji a glance of disdain, "Don''t tell me you¡¯ve never heard of fate attachment? The Laws of Fate far exceeds the Laws of Space and the Laws of Time. Some even say that fate has no laws. You might have heard of various kinds of sacred arts, but have you heard of a fate-type sacred art? Besides the extracted fate, there''s no form of life within the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. If we are able to get past the sheet, fate will automatically attach itself to our body. As for exactly how much each of us gets would have to depend on our own luck." Mo Wuji was sure that it wasn''t going to be based on luck. It was likely that this fate was based on cultivation or based on a cultivator''s Laws. If he really wanted to divide this fate with them, the fate that would attach itself to his body would most probably be the least. He cultivated the Mortal Dao. Fate was something that could not be seen nor touched; why would it attach itself to him? And if it wasn''t based on Laws, it would be based on cultivation level. Over here, his cultivation level was only slightly higher than Lei Hongji. "Then if we enter, is it possible for the fate to disperse itself?" Mo Wuji exclaimed. He anxiously hoped that Yu Zhenna would reveal how the fate inside could be dispersed. According to what this woman was saying as far, if he manages to disperse the fate here, it would automatically return to the Immortal World and it would no longer be extracted. This time, Yu Zhenna turned serious, "So we need to work together. When the Four Marks of Tian Ji are gathered and placed into their respective spots, a force of suction will instantly appear around the Four Marks. This suction force is what absorbs the extracted fate. After the fate is absorbed into us, the array will collapse and disappear. What I''m saying is that when the suction force appears, we must not resist the suction force. Otherwise, the fate would be dispersed. Even if it was a single breath of time, a good half of the fate inside would be dispersed." Mo Wuji celebrated. These words of Yu Zhenna''s had revealed two important information. Firstly, for then to open this array and absorb the fate, they would need to place the Four Marks of Tian Ji into their four respective spots. Secondly, fate disperses easily. Even a short delay would allow the fate to slip through the gaps and disperse considerably. If he delayed them for some time, it might be possible to return all the fate back to the Immortal World. Mo Wuji focused his attention on the sheet. However, no matter how he observed with his spiritual will, he was unable to see the places where they could place the Four Marks of Tian Ji. This time, Mo Wuji intentionally moved closer and condensed his spiritual eye. Indeed, Mo Wuji saw four, no, five grooves. Among which, two of the grooves were roughly the same size as the token in his hand; they should be for the Yin Yang Marks. There were also two other grooves; one was shaped like the Tian Ji Sword while the other was shaped like his Tian Ji Pole. It was just that they were all roughly the size of a palm; Mo Wuji really didn''t know how he could place the Tian Ji Pole in. Besides these four palm-sized grooves, there was a groove which was slightly larger. This groove looked like a square brick. Mo Wuji opened his spiritual eye for only an instant. But the moment he saw the five grooves, he knew that Yu Zhenna had not been totally honest. He recalled what Su Rou''Er said those years ago. When the Tian Ji Tablet shattered, it split into five different items. One of it was the Tian Ji Stone Tablet. ''Dao Friend Yu, the three of us all have a mark. What about you? Don''t tell us that you would just follow along because I definitely wouldn''t believe such lies," Mo Wuji said calmly. Yu Zhenna stared at Mo Wuji and said, "I really couldn''t tell that you actually have the spiritual eye." When Mo Wuji heard these words, he truly felt quite awkward. He thought that his spiritual eye only opened for an instant. He didn''t expect that this woman would actually notice it. He even went on to act in his own self-directed show. "I''m indeed able to see that there are five grooves here." Mo Wuji didn''t continue hiding. It didn''t matter that she knew about it; he had no reason to fear. Yu Zhenna brought out a square brick and said, "You''re right. There are not four, but five marks of Tian Ji. I concealed some information, but I don''t have any malicious intentions. By the time everyone arrives, I would have still revealed the fifth mark." Mo Wuji slowly retreated, "I don''t want to work with you anymore. Your plots are too deep. When the time comes, I might have been scammed by you and I still have to help you count your money." "Wait¡­" Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, Yu Zhenna was truly anxious. Mo Wuji didn''t have any intentions of stopping. He even brought out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as he raised his guard against Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng. Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng had originally already had some reservations towards Yu Zhenna. After hearing Mo Wuji''s words, they were even less inclined to join hands with her to deal with Mo Wuji. When Yu Zhenna saw the situation, she hurriedly said, "I admit that I have been too cautious. But don''t tell me that all of you have been 100% honest with me? Dao Friend Mo, when you saw us previously, didn''t you also leave secretly for a few days in order to prepare a plan against us? I have always proposed the idea of working together. Working together is beneficial for everyone and I won¡¯t gain any benefits from having any malicious intentions." Mo Wuji stopped retreating but he was still wary as he said, "Since that''s the case, then let me take a look at your mark and see if there are any problems with it." When Yu Zhenna heard Mo Wuji''s words, her voice turned cold, "Pass my mark to you? Your idea is truly good¡­" Mo Wuji brought out his Yang Mark and said, "To prevent any mishaps, I will pass my Yang Mark to you. If you still don''t dare, then that would only show that there''s a problem with you." Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Yu Zhenna frowned. Then, she turned and saw the wary Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng. She hesitated slightly before she said, "Ok, but you must return it immediately after you look." Mo Wuji didn''t say anything as he directly placed his Yang Mark on the floor. Yu Zhenna could only place the square brick on the floor. The moment her square brick touched the ground, Mo Wuji''s hand swept over. However, that square brick was protected by her domain. At the same time, Mo Wuji''s Yang Mark was swept away. When they saw Yu Zhenna''s actions, Hu Chisheng and even Lei Hongji who had an enmity with Mo Wuji brought out their magic treasures. Yu Zhenna had thoughts that Mo Wuji''s Yang Mark would also be defended by his domain and she would have used that as an excuse to reject handing over her Tian Ji Mark. She didn''t think that Mo Wuji wouldn''t even extend his domain and she would only need a slight movement of her spiritual will to sweep the Yang Mark into her hands. By this point, if she still insisted on keeping her Tian Ji Mark then things would get problematic. As she thought of this, she could only let go of her Tian Ji Mark. At the same time, she prepared herself. If Mo Wuji dared to retreat, she wouldn''t hesitate to attack him. The moment Mo Wuji grabbed this square brick, he saw the two words: Tian Ji. He was very clear that this square brick was the most valuable mark of the five. The value of this square brick definitely far exceeded that of his Yang Mark. "You should have taken a good look by now. Return it to me." Yu Zhenna had already blocked Mo Wuji''s path of retreat. When they saw Yu Zhenna pass the square brick to Mo Wuji, Lei Hongji and Hu Chisheng didn''t say anything further. From the looks of it, Yu Zhenna really wanted to work together with them. Mo Wuji didn''t even have any intentions of retreating. Instead, he took a step forward and came in front of the biggest groove on the sheet, "I want to take a look and see if it''s fake." "Idiot, we''re still lacking one mark. Even if you try now, it would be useless," Yu Zhenna berated. Mo Wuji said coldly, "Dao Friend Yu Zhenna, do you still think that I don''t know that this is a land of fate and that there are five grooves here? I have a spiritual eye and I only need a moment to verify it. Also, I have something to add. I am able to obtain that Yang Mark because of my fortune. Also, I know of an item that can replace the Tian Ji Pole." "What item?" All three of them seemed to exclaim at the same time. "Everyone, stand at your respective positions. I will stand at the position of the Tian Ji Mark. In at least six hours and at most one day, I can allow everyone to experience the suction force of fate." Mo Wuji started to bullsh*t. Yu Zhenna''s voice was icy cold, "Return my Tian Ji Mark to me, then share your method." Mo Wuji chuckled and said with contempt, "Why? Since you didn''t manage to deceive us, you decided to go the hard way?" "My abilities are the highest. Naturally, I will be in charge of such matters." Yu Zhenna forcefully tried to suppress her anger. She was highly suspicious with Mo Wuji¡¯s incoherent words. Previously, he didn''t know anything, but now he suddenly seemed to know how to open this Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. Mo Wuji continued his bullsh*t, "Idiot, who told you that you require cultivation to open this place? This place requires the combined forces of the Array Dao, the Dao of Changes, and the Dao of Conning [1]. How many of them do you know?" Yu Zhenna instantly frowned. She was proficient in both the Array Dao and the Dao of Changes. But what was the Dao of Conning? [1] The word for Conning here is ºöÓÆ (Hu You) which also has other meanings such as flickering and swaying. Thus, she might not immediately get that Mo Wuji was referring to the ¡®conning¡¯ meaning. Chapter 875: I Wonst Give You Time To Think Chapter 875: I Won''t Give You Time To Think Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Before Yu Zhenna could make sense of his words, Mo Wuji had already slapped the Tian Ji Mark into the groove. By this time, how could he give Yu Zhenna time to think? If she thought any further, she would definitely come to a realisation. The moment the square-shaped Tian Ji Mark was slapped into its groove, the remaining four grooves immediately appeared on the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. Various dao laws revolved around the edges of each groove. "What are you guys waiting for? Hurry and place the other marks into the grooves. My method can only work once. If we don''t hurry, don''t blame me if we miss this opportunity," Mo Wuji cried loudly. At this instant, Mo Wuji had occupied the initiative. He didn''t even give the remaining three any time to consider. Even though all of them simply wanted to devour Mo Wuji right now, they could only place their marks into the grooves. It took them much difficulty to get to this place which contained the fate of the entire Immortal World. If their delay stopped them from obtaining this fortune, then it would be too late for regrets. No matter what grudges they had towards Mo Wuji, they would have to wait. Yu Zhenna''s teeth were gritted so tightly that they almost shattered. No matter how this matter ends, she would definitely kill Mo Wuji. "Everyone, pay attention. One incense''s time later, you will feel the majestic energy of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. When that happens, everyone must take note to defend against it. This is to prevent any injuries from the sudden Tian Ji light¡­" Mo Wuji was still on with his bullsh*t. Originally, the three of them thought that they would be able to go through the Sheet of Fate at any moment. If Mo Wuji failed at this moment, they would definitely join hands to murder Mo Wuji. They didn''t think that Mo Wuji would still ask them to be on the guard for some Tian Ji light. If such a thing actually appeared, would they even be able to dodge it? Even though Yu Zhenna had never heard of this Tian Ji light, she could only choose to believe it at this moment. The three that were originally prepared to charge in now subconsciously used their elemental energy to protect themselves. They weren''t raring to charge through the sheet like before. Mo Wuji noticed that when Lei Hongji placed the Tian Ji Sword in front of its groove, it automatically went in; there were no problems faced in placing it in the groove. At almost the same instant the three of them placed their marks into the grooves, he brought his Tian Ji Pole in front of its groove. Indeed, the Tian Ji Pole was like the Tian Ji Sword, it automatically went into the groove. It fitted into the groove nicely; it was not too big, nor too small. With all five marks gathered, an immense and overbearing Law descended down onto the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. In less than a breath¡¯s time, the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate went "kacha!". Following which, everyone felt a majestic force of suction. Because of Mo Wuji''s warning, the other three subconsciously defended themselves. Mo Wuji frantically steadied himself. After which, he brought out Kun Wu and cleaved downwards. The overbearing sword intent crashed down on the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. A loud crashing sound reverberated throughout the air. Fate has always been something that was intangible; it was not something that the five senses could feel. With Mo Wuji''s attack, the fate was directly turned into nothingness and returned back to the Immortal World. The entire process didn''t even take a single breath''s time. By the time the three realised that Mo Wuji actually possessed the Tian Ji Pole and had opened the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate, the entire Tian Ji Sheet of Fate had already been turned into nothingness. Fate attachment was not bad. But if Mo Wuji, Lei Hongji, Yu Zhenna and Hu Chisheng went into the Sheet of Fate, the one that would benefit the most from the fate attachment would definitely be Yu Zhenna. But because Mo Wuji used Kun Wu Sword to rip the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate apart, all the extracted fate was completely returned to the Immortal World. In an instant, the entire hall felt fragile and empty; it seemed as though everything was melting apart and dissipating. "You''re courting death¡­" Yu Zhenna was the first to react. With a twist of her hand, she conjured a black light which transformed into a curved rope which whipped towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could feel the Laws of Space in area breaking apart. He hurriedly brought out his Book of Luo. At the same time, he extended his hand to grab his Tian Ji Pole and the Tian Ji Square Brick. He knew that he wouldn''t be able to grab the Tian Ji Sword. By the time Lei Hongji reacted, Lei Hongji immediately grabbed the Tian Ji Sword instead of joining hands with Yu Zhenna to attack him. On the other hand, Hu Chisheng reacted by whipping out a talisman. Seemingly, he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. It could clearly be seen that Hu Chisheng was a rational man. Even though Mo Wuji had ruined his opportunity with the fate within the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate and he simply wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he still chose to leave at this moment instead of joining Yu Zhenna to attack Mo Wuji. "Pff!" A mist of blood exploded from Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji''s entire body was almost split in half by that black rope. Boom! This entire place also started to collapse. Mo Wuji allowed the Book of Luo to protect himself as he followed the collapsed hall as it got swept into the endless void. The ripping force of the void came ravaging over. However, Mo Wuji''s was already at the pinnacle of the God Physique. Thus, this bit of ripping force wasn''t enough to cause him any damage. As the threat of death gradually passed, Mo Wuji''s heart remained shaking with lingering fear. That Yu Zhenna was truly too terrifying. Even though he had the Book of Luo to protect himself, albeit his Book of Luo had yet to be fully refined, he was still almost decapitated in half by that black rope of Yu Zhenna¡¯s. If he didn''t have the Book of Luo, he would already have been dead. His vitality channel furiously went into motion and Mo Wuji''s injuries started to gradually heal. To Mo Wuji, as long as he wasn''t insta-killed just now, he wouldn''t die. After Hu Chisheng fled, Lei Hongji also grabbed the Tian Ji Sword and escaped. The only one that wasn''t swept away by the collapsing hall was Yu Zhenna. She stared hatefully at the dark void; her killing intent was so concentrated that it almost seemed to take form. She knew that Mo Wuji was the only one that was swept into the void. However, she didn''t go and chase after him. She was clear that Mo Wuji was already dead meat. If not for that page of the Book of Luo, her rope would have already turned Mo Wuji into dust. Actually, even though Mo Wuji had the Book of Luo, he would still undoubtedly die. That strike of hers was enough to destroy Mo Wuji¡¯s primordial spirit. After Mo Wuji¡¯s primordial spirit gets destroyed, the killing intent from that strike would gradually tear at Mo Wuji¡¯s body and sea of consciousness. Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger, he could only prolong his death. Those with higher cultivations than her would also die by that strike. The only unfortunate thing was that page of the Book of Luo. She knew that after Mo Wuji dies and his primordial spirit collapses, that Book of Luo would disappear into the cosmos. Even if she chased after him, she wouldn''t be able to retrieve it. Yu Zhenna sighed; she knew that it was time for her to return. Perhaps her brother had already returned. She wondered what kind of fortune her brother managed to obtain in this trip. As she thought about how the fate of an entire world slipped out of her hands because of that b*stard, she simply felt like vomiting blood. ¡­ "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thunderous rumbles resounded through the air. The experts standing outside Yong Ying Immortal Chasm all glanced at each other. They stopped their preparations of the seal because they knew that the seal was no longer needed. The entire Yong Ying Immortal Chasm had collapsed and reduced into a patch of nothingness. "What happened? That terrifying energy of destruction has disappeared." Heavenly Emperor Zizai was adroit in the Dao of Changes. Thus, he was the first to react. "The Immortal Chasm has collapsed. That huge stone has also disappeared¡­" The Immortal Emperor beside Heavenly Emperor Zizai muttered. It could be said that everyone gathered here were the strongest experts of the entire Immortal World. Everyone soon understood what had happened and they all glanced towards each other meaningfully. After some time, Gai Ying said solemnly, "If I''m not wrong, Sect Head Mo should have used his efforts and his sacred arts to resolve this threat. But Sect Head Mo, he¡­" That terrifying energy of destruction had disappeared but Mo Wuji hadn''t returned. They didn''t need to think to know that things didn''t bode well for Mo Wuji. "Excellent, excellent (Shan Zai, Shan Zai)[1]! Sect Head Mo has done a great deed for the Immortal World. I¡¯m ashamed¡­" Xing Shan only said half his sentence when he suddenly lifted his head to face the vast sky. It wasn''t just Xing Shan; the other Immortal Emperors also felt it. "Why do I feel that the Immortal World is different from before?" Devil Immortal School''s Grand Emperor Jin Ping exclaimed in astonishment. Heavenly Emperor Zizai said emotionally, "That''s right, the Immortal World''s fate has become deeper and more profound. I¡¯m unable to deduce anything but I know that the Immortal World is definitely different from before." "It''s definitely related to Sect Head Mo." Qing Yang suddenly felt that her knowledge could not be applied to Mo Wuji. Previously, she was speechless towards Mo Wuji''s rash actions. But now, not only did Mo Wuji resolve their threat, he even caused helped the fate of the Immortal World to become more profound. "The Laws here are crumbling. Things don¡¯t bode well for Sect Head Mo. No matter what happened to Sect Head Mo, I suggest that we erect a statue of Sect Head Mo here." Heavenly Emperor Zizai was skilled with the Dao of Changes. The instant he felt a change in the Immortal World¡¯s fate, he knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s contributions were far more than what the others could have imagined. "These words are excellent." Xing Shan placed his palms together in agreement. Even though he felt that Mo Wuji¡¯s penchant for slaughter was too strong, Mo Wuji still cared for the Immortal World and disregarded his own safety to enter the site of Tian Ji. Ultimately, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t manage to escape but he still resolved the threats from the site of Tian Ji. Even he, Xing Shan, couldn¡¯t compare to such magnanimity, what more the other immortals in the Immortal World? [1] ÉÆÔÕ (Shan Zai) is a term of praise used by monks. Chapter 876: God King Lone Cauldron Chapter 876: God King Lone Cauldron Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tangled streams of force continuously swept towards Mo Wuji. Even though this ripping force wasn''t enough to cause Mo Wuji any damage, Mo Wuji was still extremely worried. He was worried that he would get swept out of the Immortal World by these streams. During that violent explosion when the site of Tian Ji collapsed, it wouldn''t be strange if a tear was formed in space. At the beginning, Mo Wuji didn''t resist these tangled streams. He only allowed the Book of Luo to protect him as he used all his effort to heal himself. Besides his heavy injuries, another reason why he did this was to prevent Yu Zhenna from chasing after him. Multiple days passed. Mo Wuji''s injuries had fully healed and he did not detect any signs of Yu Zhenna chasing after him. At this time, Mo Wuji wanted to release his domain and take a look at his surroundings. He soon discovered that he wasn''t able to release his domain. Moreover, his spiritual will and elemental energy could only linger within the area around his body. Also, the tangled streams didn''t get weaker, but increasingly violent. What caused Mo Wuji to be more worried was that there seemed to be a boundless force of gravity below him. Coupled with the streams in the air, he was continuously being drawn downwards. Initially, Mo Wuji could still protect his entire body and try to manoeuvre himself. However, after a month, Mo Wuji couldn''t do anything else besides protecting himself. The gravity below him seemed to get stronger and stronger; Mo Wuji''s speed also got faster and faster. This left Mo Wuji extremely worried. He suspected that if he continued like this, he might be squashed into meat juice. Even if his body was any stronger, if he continued to fall at this continuously accelerating pace, he would definitely die. He was completely unable to communicate with his Undying World. Now, the only thing he could do besides protecting himself with his elemental energy was to cultivate. Even if Mo Wuji''s heart was any bigger, he wouldn''t be able to calm down and cultivate. He couldn''t even bring out his other pages of the Book of Luo. Besides the page of the Book of Luo which he was using to protect himself now, his other pages were all stuck in his Undying World. Mo Wuji grudgingly expanded the domain of the Book of Luo protecting him. Thereafter, he tried to find a way to reduce his speed. Two months later, the continuously increasing speed caused Mo Wuji to keep his Book of Luo in anxiety. The Book of Luo could protect him but it was unable to help him slow his descent. Over these months, his speed had already accelerated to an unimaginable degree. If this carried on, even if the Book of Luo could protect him, he would still get killed by the rebound force within the Book of Luo. Moving at this terrifying speed way beyond the controls of his spiritual will, Mo Wuji could not help but feel bouts of dizziness despite his strong sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji didn''t have time to think about that. He frantically used his Wind Escape Technique. After a few days, Mo Wuji was finally able to stop this crazy descent. With his Wind Escape Technique, he was no longer falling at an accelerated pace. Even though he was still falling at a scary pace, Mo Wuji''s heart was slightly reassured. At this pace, he would be able to survive with heavy injuries at the very most. Mo Wuji didn''t dare to bring out his Book of Luo. When he was descending at such uncontrollable speeds, the Book of Luo had restricted the use of his Wind Escape Technique. Several more months passed. Just as Mo Wuji was wondering whether there was even an end, he felt a tremor beneath his feet. "Boom!" Dust and sand were directly sent flying into the air by Mo Wuji. He could clearly hear the sounds of his bones breaking. Thereafter, a sensation of suffocation came. This suffocation wasn''t on his breathing, but on his vitality and his meridians. His life force turned sluggish and his meridians were on the brink of shattering. Fortunately, this process didn''t last for a long time. Mo Wuji''s surroundings suddenly cleared up, and at the next instant, he had landed properly on hard ground. Feeling his shattered bones, his blood all over his body, and the remaining blood inside his body which threatened to shoot out of his mouth, Mo Wuji actually sighed in relief. He had finally reached the end. As long as he had a single breath left, he would be fine. Mo Wuji then tried to release his spiritual will. This time, his spiritual will could actually extend to a radius of 3 meters. Mo Wuji immediately jumped into his Undying World. Da Huang and Shuai Guo were both cultivating furiously. This was especially the case for Da Huang; Mo Wuji could feel that Da Huang was multiple folds stronger than when he had first been rebuilt. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t use the Breath of Hongmeng. After all, his injuries were on his physical body. As a physique temperer at the Great Circle of the God Physique, he was least afraid of physical injuries. Of course, Mo Wuji also wasn''t affected by attacks or injuries to his primordial spirit; he didn''t even have a primordial spirit. Mo Wuji sat on multiple peak-grade immortal veins. All his 108 meridians went into reverse circulation and formed a circulation path. Among them, his vitality channel circulated at an even faster pace in order to heal the injuries on Mo Wuji''s body. Compared to when he was first ganged up on by several Grand Emperors, Mo Wuji''s injuries were a lot lighter. It wasn''t because the damage was lesser, but because he was at least a hundred million times stronger than he was back then? In merely a month, Mo Wuji''s bones reverted to normal and his body had recovered. Besides his overpowered vitality channel, Mo Wuji knew another important reason for this was that he was a physique temperer. Mo Wuji didn''t go and disturb Shuai Guo''s and Da Huang''s cultivation. Instead, he left his Undying World. With his injuries completely healed, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will could not expand to a radius of close to 30 meters. He lifted his head to look above him. Even with his spiritual eye, he could only see a deep patch of grey. However, Mo Wuji was clear that he passed by something similar to a planet¡¯s open land right before he landed. The ground beneath his feet was solid. It seemed to be formed from burnt tiles and the tiles were randomly cobbled together. There weren''t any signs of life around him. Mo Wuji only walked for an incense''s time when his spiritual will detected a huge inclined stone wall. The stone wall looked relatively polished and it was slate grey. Mo Wuji had a sense of foreboding. He hastened towards this stone wall. He lifted his head to look up; this downward sloping stone wall gave him an extreme sense of pressure. It felt like he was in a giant pot and this stone wall in front of him was the wall of the pot. Mo Wuji was naturally very clear about where this place was; it was the Yong Ying Immortal Chasm. Back when he traversed it those years ago, the edge of the Immortal Chasm gave him the same feeling. But Mo Wuji was also clear that this place definitely wasn''t the Yong Ying Immortal Chasm. It was just extremely similar. Mo Wuji¡¯s fist landed on this wall. Rocks shot everywhere as a huge hole formed in the wall. To his aghast, this hole was actually started to mend itself. In less than half a day, that hole had completely mended. The only difference was that it no longer had that same slate grey coating. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji didn''t have intentions to leave through this wall. Even if he did, he could only give up on that idea now. If he entered this wall of unknown thickness, he might possibly seal himself within this self-mending wall. Mo Wuji guessed that he was trapped in a strange place. This place didn''t seem to have the various dangers that Yong Ying Immortal Chasm had. At the same time, the Laws here were much higher than the ones in Yong Ying Immortal Chasm. Mo Wuji went to feel the terrain. He decided to walk along the edge of this stone wall to a higher ground. No matter whether it was possible to escape, he was going to try. If one year wasn''t enough, he would take two. If that was still not enough, he would take three. There would definitely be one day when he would walk out of this chasm. ¡­ While Mo Wuji was trying to find his way out of that unknown chasm, Yu Zhenna arrived in front of a huge floating rock in the void. This rock was half grey and half white. There were three words on the rock - Seven World Stone. This was the same place that Mo Wuji had been to before. It was just that Mo Wuji had come here through the Great Desolate Sea while Yu Zhenna came here using a talisman. Yu Zhenna didn¡¯t know that she could get to the Seven World Stone through the Seven World Sea. If she did, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have wasted that talisman. At the opposite end of the Seven World Stone, there were seven black and seemingly endless holes. Mo Wuji didn''t do the same thing as Mo Wuji and randomly picked a hole to enter. Instead, she slapped the regulation talisman that was on her body. The violent pressure of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth came down in her. Yu Zhenna''s entire body began to ooze out with blood. At this time, a suction force came from one of the black holes at the other end of the Seven World Stone. It swept Yu Zhenna away and she disappeared without a trace. ... To immortals of the Immortal World, they would ascend to a higher realm once they reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor Stage, just like in the cultivation world. This higher realm was called the God World. In reality, over countless years, no one ascended into the God World from the Immortal World before. Most didn''t even know of the God World. In the eyes of the immortals of the Immortal World''s seven Immortal Domains, the Very High Heavens was a more conspicuous place. The status of the Very High Heavens was higher than the Immortal World, and its leader, Zi Changluo, was even addressed as a Dao Emperor. This caused many immortals to view the Very High Heavens as the higher realm. Thereafter, the Gods Tower appeared. Inside, various magic treasures, cultivation techniques and dao marks that far exceeded the Immortal World could be found. The concept of a God World formed, but it still largely remained as a place of myth. After all, no one had been to the God World nor met any of its experts. Even in the Gods Tower itself, no one saw an actual God. The God World was a true place. However, it wasn''t called God World but God Domain. In God Domain, the strongest beings naturally weren''t the Gods, but God Kings. God Kings were different from Immortal Kings. There were still Immortal Reverents and Immortal Emperors above Immortal Kings. However, God Kings were the pinnacle of existences in the entire God Domain. God Domain was vast and endless. Anyone that could become a God King in God Domain was an exceptional and peerless existence in the entire cosmos. As long as they reached the stage of God Kings, even those God Kings that weren''t ranked within the Ten Great God Kings and those that didn''t have titles, they would be at the peak of the entire cosmos. God King Lone Cauldron wasn''t only an existence at the God King Stage. He was also one of the Ten Great God Kings. Even though his cultivation was the lowest at only God King Level 6, he was able to use his cauldron to obtain the title of God King Lone Cauldron. Not only that, his abilities were able to suppress the ranked 10 God King Clear Rise, ranking him as 9th. One must know that God King Clear Rise was at God King Level 7. At this moment, God King Lone Cauldron was in his own God King Hall. His face was ashen. In his hand was a shattered soul tablet. This soul tablet belonged to his son, Yu Zhen¡¯Er. The fact that it was shattered meant that his son was already dead. Who? Who actually dared to kill the son of Lone Cauldron! Chapter 877: The Rusty Hilt Chapter 877: The Rusty Hilt Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations While he was feeling angry, God King Lone Cauldron was also worried for his daughter Yu Zhenna. His two children left together. Now that his son was dead, how could he not worry about his daughter? "Reporting to the God King. Young Mistress Zhenna has returned!" Just as God King Lone Cauldron was feeling anxious about his daughter, a handsome young man walked in, bowed and announced. God King Lone Cauldron suddenly stood up. The anxiety in his face turned into anger, "Bring her in." Yu Zhenna had been oppressed by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth and her injuries had yet to fully recover. God King Lone Cauldron noticed it the moment she entered the hall. His tone was icy cold as he said, "Not bad, you actually have the capability to go to a lower realm." "Daughter knows her mistake. Father Emperor, please forgive me." Yu Zhenna was proud and lofty in front of Mo Wuji and co. but she didn''t dare show any of that in front of her father. With an angry harrumph from God King Lone Cauldron, she fell to her knees in fright. Don''t think that God King Lone Cauldron was a protective father who indulged his children. He was definitely not such a compassionate father. If any of his children went against his will, it might be possible for them to be beaten to death. In fact, among the few children that Lone Cauldron had, a few were beaten to death by him. Yu Zhen¡¯Er had been killed. Besides feeling the grief at the loss of a son, he was more infuriated at the fact that someone would dare to kill the son of him, Lone Cauldron. "Tell me, how did your brother Zhen¡¯Er die?" Lone Cauldron calmed himself down and asked slowly. This was on the account that his daughter had been heavily injured by the pressure from the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. If not for that, he definitely wouldn''t be speaking in such a genial tone. "What? Big brother is dead?" Yu Zhenna instantly went still. Since she was young, her brother had helped her significantly in her cultivation. Compared to her stern God King Father, her older brother had been much warmer to her. Now, her older brother had actually died. She simply couldn''t accept that fact. God King Lone Cauldron frowned, "Didn''t you leave with Zhen¡¯Er?" Yu Zhenna recovered from her grief and she cried, "Big Brother and I obtained two peak-grade regulation talismans that allowed us to leave God Domain. We were afraid that Father Emperor wouldn''t permit our actions so we secretly left. Big Brother and I were separated in the void. Thereafter, I obtained a Tian Ji Mark. Because Big Brother was much stronger than me, I wasn''t too worried about him. Thus, I went to investigate more about Tian Ji¡­" Lone Cauldron interrupted Yu Zhenna''s words, "You say you''ve obtained a Tian Ji Mark?" Mo Wuji and co. weren''t very clear about the Tian Ji Mark, but this wasn''t the case for Lone Cauldron. This was an item formed from the primordial fate Tian Ji. If used properly, it could extract the fate of an entire world. Imagine, the fate of an entire world used to strengthen you. Even if you didn''t have talent to become strong, that fate would make you strong. "Yes. That Tian Ji Mark was formed from the shattered primordial fate Tian Ji. There was already a person that tried to use primordial fate Tian Ji to extract the world''s fate and I managed to find that place." Yu Zhenna''s tone was still laced with sorrow. She didn''t manage to obtain a world''s fate and her brother had died. If she could do it all over, she would definitely have advised her brother not to use the regulation talisman to go to the lower realms. "You''ve obtained the fate of an entire world?" Lone Cauldron''s voice was trembling slightly. Even he couldn''t see a thing like fate. Thus, he could only ask his daughter to know whether she had obtained that fate. Yu Zhenna shook her head. It wasn''t weird to her that her father was more concerned about the Tian Ji Mark than the death of her brother. "Just as I was about to open the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate, my plans were foiled by an ant. He probably did it to preserve the Immortal World''s fate. He actually sliced the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate apart and released the extracted fate back into the Immortal World. Thereafter, that person was swept away by the collapsing Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. He should already be dead," Yu Zhenna said honestly. Lone Cauldron sat down disappointedly. To actually lose such a great opportunity, this was simply¡­ "Father Emperor, how was Big Brother killed? Are you able to know who killed him?" Yu Zhenna rubbed her eyes; she was still unwilling to accept her brother''s death. Once a thing like fate was dispersed, it could not be recovered. Lone Cauldron was a God King. Thus, his heart also had some slight waves before he regained his calm. He suppressed his feelings of unwillingness and said, "Since your big brother wasn''t killed in God Domain, there shouldn''t be anyone from the lower realms who would be able to kill him. From the looks of it, there should have been a problem with his regulation talisman." Yu Zhenna hurriedly said, "That''s not possible, Father Emperor. If I didn''t tear my own regulation talisman, it wouldn''t have shattered. The regulation talismans that we obtained are peak grade talismans¡­" Yu Zhenna''s words stopped abruptly. She recalled that she had only gone to the Immortal World. What if her older brother went to an even lower realm? The pressure faced by the regulation talisman would have been much higher. Under that terrifying pressure from the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, it wouldn''t be impossible for his regulation talisman to break apart. "So you''ve thought of it," God King Lone Cauldron harrumphed, "your regulation talisman allowed you to go to the realm right below the God Domain. What if you went to an ever lower realm, what would happen then?" "Ah¡­ I remember something." After saying that, Yu Zhenna retrieved a pearl that looked like a crystal from her storage ring. The instant she looked at the pearl, she started to bawl, "Father Emperor, Big Brother was killed. This pearl contained both of our blood shadow imprints. If there had been a problem with the regulation talisman, the blood shadow imprint would have disappeared. If we were killed, the blood shadow imprint would turn black. Now, Big Brother''s blood shadow imprint had turned black. This means that Big Brother had definitely been killed." After Yu Zhenna verified that Yu Zhen''Er had been killed, killing intent burst forth from Lone Cauldron''s body. After a long time, he said slowly, "Regardless who it is, killing my son can only be paid with the life of a world. Zhenna, which world did you go to?" "Father Emperor, what about the regulation talisman to go to the lower realm... " Yu Zhenna wasn''t bothered by her father''s claim that he would destroy the Immortal World. Lone Cauldron¡¯s eyes were filled with conviction, "I will think of a way. You can leave first. Remember, don''t decide such matters on your own in the future. I will not spare you for a second time." Even a God King couldn''t go to a lower realm without a peak-grade regulation talisman. "Yes, Father Emperor. Daughter takes her leave." Yu Zhenna hurriedly bowed and retreated. She wasn''t all too happy that her father didn''t punish her. After all, her brother had been killed. She would rather have been locked up for 100,000 years. ¡­ After months of caution, Mo Wuji decided to move faster. He didn''t know where this chasm was. Besides some restraints to his spiritual will, there weren''t many dangers here. The only thing that Mo Wuji found pitiable was that he couldn''t cultivate here. With his reverse Immortal Mortal Technique, he wouldn''t face any problems with moving and cultivating. As for physique tempering, it wasn''t really suitable here. Moreover, Mo Wuji''s physique had already reached the peak of God Physique Level 9, so it really wasn''t possible for him to make any huge improvements here. Fortunately, Mo Wuji could still condense his spiritual will as he moved. One year passed. At the very beginning, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will could only expand to a radius of 30 meters. Now, it could already expand to a radius of 300 meters. He felt that there was some sort of Law here. As long as his spiritual will could bypass this Law, it could even expand even further. By this time, he was basically accustomed to this Law. Now, his spiritual will didn''t even need to bypass this Law to expand beyond 300 meters. Originally, Mo Wuji prepared himself to refine his spiritual will in a casual manner as he moved. However, a sudden and ominous threat of death caused him to stop. He looked in front of him; no matter whether he used his spiritual eye or his spiritual will, he could only see a patch of grey. Even though he didn''t see anything, Mo Wuji didn''t continue moving forward. He placed a page of the Book of Luo into his storage ring. At the same time, he moved the square-shaped Tian Ji Mark and the Tian Ji Pole into his Undying World. Only then, did he slowly advance forward. After experiencing these threats of death multiple times, Mo Wuji realised that his Mortal Dao was especially sensitive towards such threats. He was a mortal and he cultivated the Mortal Dao. Naturally, a mortal was most worried about death. Thus, he would have a foreboding every time he was going to have a close encounter with death. Heading forward, Mo Wuji felt this threat getting stronger and stronger. If he was anywhere else, Mo Wuji would not have hesitated to turn and leave. However, there was nowhere else he could go to. This was a chasm; he could only advance forward or retreat. Mo Wuji had never considered retreating. He had been walking in this direction for over a year. And who''s to say that there wouldn''t be any danger in the other direction? After walking another few hundreds of meters, Mo Wuji stopped. He felt that he couldn''t advance any further. Just 30 meters in front of him, there was a rusty long hilt stabbed into the ground. Mo Wuji couldn''t see the part of that hilt which was under the ground with his spiritual will. And the part that was above the ground looked like a handle of some magic treasure. Mo Wuji had been to the Gods Tower''s immortal sealing array before. That old fox, Yu Minjiang, had hidden within a rock. "You''re the first cultivator to come here. Tell me, how did you get here?" In less than three breaths since Mo Wuji stopped, a voice sounded gently. Mo Wuji''s heart pounded. His guess was right. This voice clearly came from that long hilt. "I was battling someone while in the void and I accidentally ignited a talisman. Thereafter, I ended up here." Mo Wuji blurted as though that was what actually happened. "You''re lying. Say it then, how many marks of the Five Marks of Tian Ji do you have?" The other party seemed to understand why Mo Wuji was here very clearly. When Mo Wuji heard the other party talk about the Five Marks of Tian Ji, he felt as though a lightning bolt had flashed across his mind. He knew who this fella was. This person was definitely the one that installed the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. He didn''t expect that this fella actually didn''t die but ended up in this mysterious chasm. This fella was willing to extract the fate of an entire world. One could clearly see how ruthless this person was. "Your guess is right. I was the one that installed the Tian Ji Sheet of Fate. I believe that you should have obtained no small amount of benefits from it." This voice was like a roundworm living in Mo Wuji¡¯s stomach. He was clear about what Mo Wuji was thinking of. Mo Wuji stared at this rusty long hilt. This fella could read his mind? Chapter 878: The Terrifying Sea Of Consciousness Chapter 878: The Terrifying Sea Of Consciousness Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You want to possess me and steal the fate that I obtained?" Mo Wuji suddenly said. "You really obtained the fate of a world?" That voice was clearly stirred up. Mo Wuji heaved s sigh of relief. He thought that this fella could really peep into his thoughts. From the looks of it, this fella couldn''t do that. "You''re very smart. If I''m not wrong, you didn''t obtain that fate. You used a Xiantian treasure to rip my Tian Ji Sheet of Fate apart, then you were swept in here by the collapsing hall, right? Being to arrive here safely, that shows that you are at least in the late stage God Physique." Mo Wuji was even more relieved. Even though the other party was 99% sure that he didn''t obtain the fate, he would still hug on to that 1% chance. From the looks of it, this sort of fate could be transferred. This fella definitely couldn''t move for some reason, which was why this fella hoped that he obtained the fate and this fella would then forcefully rob it. Mo Wuji could only say that this fella was overthinking. Even if he was to be killed, he wouldn''t willingly hand the fate over. "Who are you exactly? If you don''t speak, I will walk in the other direction," Mo Wuji said calmly. "There''s no harm in telling you. This sage is Kun Yun. I will tell you another thing. You probably guessed that I have been trapped. But even if you changed directions, you still wouldn''t be able to leave." Kun Yun''s voice was laced with an additional strand of coldness. "What do you mean?" Mo Wuji took a fear steps back and he stared at that rusty hilt which represented Kun Yun. Kun Yun''s voice went silent. He didn''t answer Mo Wuji''s words. "What do you want?" After an entire hour, Mo Wuji could not help but ask another question. After some time, Kun Yun''s voice sounded, "Originally, I wanted to ask you to help me. But looking at your wary appearance, it would be too hard to ask you to save me. How about this, give me a portion of that fate and I will tell you the way out." After Kun Yun finished those words, the ground beneath Mo Wuji suddenly started to tremble. Following which, huge areas of the sides of the chasm began to crumble. Mo Wuji rapidly retreated. The place that he was just standing on had already been buried by the falling rocks and sand. "This is a common occurrence. It won''t threaten your life. These places that crumbled would soon revert to their original states, and after some time, they would collapse again. The largest collapse I saw was when millions of miles of this chasm all came crashing down¡­" Mo Wuji stared at this rusty hilt and he suddenly had a terrifying thought. He had seen such a scene before. It was back when he was in Half Immortal Domain. Half Immortal Domain¡¯s Mining Area of Death also had such earthquakes. Back then, everyone guessed that it was because the Mining Area of Death was living. After meeting Yan Li in the Immortal World, Mo Wuji was clearer about what the Mining Area of Death was. It was the sea of consciousness of a supreme cultivator. The immortal lattice stones that they excavated in the Mining Area of Death were sea of consciousness crystals. As Mo Wuji thought of this, he inhaled a breath of cold air. This pot bottom¡­ How was this a chasm? This was a terrifyingly large sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji''s own sea of consciousness was also large and had taken form. However, Mo Wuji knew that if his sea of consciousness was thrown into this one, it would merely be a drop in the sea. There was no need to talk about his sea of consciousness. Even that sea of consciousness back at the Mining Area of Death couldn''t compare to this terrifying sea of consciousness. Kun Yun could control the collapse of the walls here. Clearly, he was the owner of this sea of consciousness. There was no wonder why it could mend itself. A trail of cold sweat trickled down Mo Wuji''s back. He didn''t know that he had actually ended up in someone else''s sea of consciousness. That rusty hilt was clearly a scam. If this was Kun Yun''s sea of consciousness, then his voice could have come from anywhere. In other words, Kun Yun didn''t lie to him. Even if he turned and left, he would still be within Kun Yun''s sea of consciousness. The reason why he only felt a sense of danger now was probably because Kun Yun was somehow sealed and required him to get closer to that rusty hilt in order to make a move. "You seem to be very afraid. I said it before, with your physique and capabilities, even if this place continuously collapsed for 10,000 years, it still wouldn''t be enough to kill you," Kun Yun said calmly. "Tell me then, how can I transfer some of my fate to you." Mo Wuji forcefully calmed himself down. Even though it seemed like Kun Yun was heavily injured, he was still in Kun Yun''s territory. He would rather the other person be in his sea of consciousness. "You see that long hilt? That''s a supreme treasure. My primordial spirit is hidden within that treasure. It''s just that I''m too weak and I can''t condense my primordial spirit. So, you need to grab that hilt and follow this method¡­" As Kun Yun was speaking, a jade letter landed a few steps away from Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was silent. If he didn''t know that this place was a huge sea of consciousness, he might actually believe the other party''s words. After all, primordial spirits generally need to be hidden within peak-grade magic treasures. Those years ago when he saw Yu Minjiang, Yu Minjiang had also been hidden within a stone. But now that Mo Wuji knew that the entire place was the other party¡¯s sea of consciousness, he would be a fool to believe those words. In his own sea of consciousness, why would Kun Yun need to place his primordial spirit in a magic treasure? "I don¡¯t need much. Just one-third, no, one-fourth of your fate is enough," Noticing Mo Wuji¡¯s hesitation, Kun Yun spoke once more. Just as Mo Wuji was about to use his spirit storage channel, he suddenly felt that sense of danger again. He swiftly retreated. By the time the sense of danger disappeared, he was already standing far away. "Since you are not willing to cooperate, then forget about it." Kun Yun said calmly when he saw Mo Wuji retreat; there was a slight disappointment in his voice. Even though he sounded rather disappointed, he seemed to be able to accept it. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on that jade letter and he discovered that there wasn¡¯t any problem with it. He retracted his spiritual will, then sent his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will onto that jade letter. Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel immediately detected a faintly discernible energy. At this instant, Mo Wuji completely understood what was going on. This Kun Yun was truly devious. He thought that the rusty hilt was the threatening existence, but in reality, this jade letter was the one that was truly dangerous. Before Mo Wuji managed to retract his spiritual will, Kun Yun cried in alarm, "You actually have the spirit storage channel¡­" Mo Wuji no longer cared to reply Kun Yun. Kun Yun was far too terrifying. Since he forged his meridian cultivation method, Kun Yun was the first person to know that he had the spirit storage channel. Kun Yun should be helpless against him. Otherwise, Kun Yun would have attacked him by now. "Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t have spiritual roots and a primordial spirit? You are a mortal? You actually created the mortal method of cultivating with meridians? How is that possible...?" Kun Yun uttered a series of questions; his tone was filled with agitation. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji already knew that this person was terrifying so he didn¡¯t respond to this fella. Compared to Yu Minjiang, this fella was far more terrifying. Even though Yu Minjiang was very impressive, he still needed to make use of his surroundings. "Come over. I promise that I will no longer try to lay hands on you. I have many things to tell you. I admit that I was too cautious previously. I swear that I don¡¯t have any evil intentions." Kun Yun cried out anxiously. He finally understood why Mo Wuji could detect his killing intent; Mo Wuji actually cultivated the Mortal Dao. Even though Mo Wuji was still 108,000 li from validating his Dao, if Mo Wuji was successful, he would definitely be an expert that stood at the peak of the entire cosmos. That sloppy old man¡¯s guess those years ago was actually right. He guessed that mortals could also cultivate but he was derided by many of the other experts. Kun Yun didn¡¯t think that after so many years, when most cultivation paths had reached their final stages, someone was still able to create the path of mortal cultivation. How impressive must this person be? If he knew that Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao, he definitely wouldn''t have employed his previous method. A young cultivator of the Mortal Dao was enough for him to give up everything, including his already recovering giant sea of consciousness. Despite Kun Yun''s beautiful promises, Mo Wuji continued to retreat backwards. There was no wonder why he couldn''t cultivate here; this was a sea of consciousness after all. The reason why Mo Wuji was retreating so hurriedly was because he was sure that Kun Yun''s control over the sea of consciousness was limited. Otherwise, Kun Yun would have known about his Undying World. After retreating for a thousand miles, Mo Wuji stopped and brought out his Kun Wu Sword. Against this old man, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd would be useless. Kun Wu Sword conjured a sharp sword intent which was hundreds of meters long! "Boom!" The sword intent slashed against the walls. Rocks from both sides of the walls shattered. A gull that was close to 3000 meters long was sliced out from the inclined walls. This was on the account that Mo Wuji''s spiritual will could only be released a radius of 300 meters. If his meters could reach 3000 meters, then that slash would have been multiple times more powerful. Mo Wuji swept the crushed rocks to one side. Thereafter, his Scholar''s Heart descended down on these crushed rocks. The way Mo Wuji saw it, since this was a sea of consciousness, its life force could be burnt using the Scholar''s Heart. Of course, the damage he could deal through such actions was far from fatal, but he had no lack of time. What he needed to do was to prevent this sea of consciousness from recovering. Even though his cultivation was far from this self-proclaimed sage Kun Yun, he could slowly move this mountain. As long as his Kun Wu Sword continuously sliced at this sea of consciousness, then this sea of consciousness would take a longer time to recover. "Stop, since you can tell that this is my sea of consciousness, it means that you know that I have the power to restrain you. It''s just that I don''t to disperse that fate and waste my elemental energy." Mo Wuji''s actions finally caused Kun Yun to be flustered. He was no longer in total control. There was another reason why he drew Mo Wuji over to that rusty hilt. In the case that Mo Wuji decided to attack, the walls of his sea of consciousness within that area were within his control. He would be able to stop Mo Wuji. But now, Mo Wuji had retreated to a place where he had almost no control over. This had caused him to lose his bottom line. He really couldn''t believe that Mo Wuji was able to figure out that this was a sea of consciousness. No one else would dare to believe this entire place was a sea of consciousness. Stop? Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. The more you threaten Mo Wuji, the less afraid he would be. Not only didn''t he stop, his Kun Wu Sword conjured up a sword intent which was far stronger than before. Chapter 879: The God World Of Legends Chapter 879: The God World Of Legends Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Boom!" Huge masses of the walls were sliced apart. Then, they were sent to burn in the Scholar''s Heart. "Dao Friend, even if you destroy my sea of consciousness, I will still be able to recover it slowly. Must you be that persistent in trying to kill me? I admit that I''m unable to trap you. I am willing to guide you out of here, and from here on, we will have nothing to do with one another." After a brief moment of fury, Kun Yun recovered his calm. He finally understood Mo Wuji''s intentions; Mo Wuji was trying to dig through his sea of consciousness wall. If he could fully control his sea of consciousness, even if this ant in front was hundreds time stronger, it could only dream of doing anything to him. But now, he was clear that the ant had chosen the best option. He was unable to fully control his giant sea of consciousness. Even though the other party had fallen into his sea of consciousness, neither of them would come out victorious. His sea of consciousness would take a longer time to heal while the other party might be trapped here forever. To Kun Yun, the more important reason why he decided to give up on Mo Wuji was because he was sure that Mo Wuji didn''t obtain the fate. If a cunning fella like Mo Wuji didn''t obtain the fate, then he, Kun Yun, wasn''t willing to continue wasting his time. When Mo Wuji heard that Kun Yun was no longer enraged, he stopped. He also knew that his actions could only lengthen the time the other party took to recover and he was unable to eliminate Kun Yun. And when it came to cunningness, he was definitely inferior to Kun Yun. If he stayed in Kun Yun''s sea of consciousness for too long, he might actually end up falling for one of Kun Yun''s schemes. In both Mo Wuji''s and Kun Yun''s heart, the other was as devious as a ghost. "How do I get out?" Even though Mo Wuji stopped, his Kun Wu Sword was still surging with sword intent. "You will definitely suspect this method, but continue digging like this. Begin at the position 40 meters behind you. I will give you three days. During this three days, I will not mend my sea of consciousness. But this is on the premise that you dig in a stable manner." Kun Yun''s clear voice had suddenly turned hoarse. "Ok." Mo Wuji didn''t utter a single word of nonsense. In a straightforward manner, he retreated by 40 meters. His Kun Wu Sword stabbed forward and a 3000-meter deep sword scar formed in the wall of the sea of consciousness. Kun Yun kept to his words; he didn''t continue healing his sea of consciousness. Seeing Mo Wuji take action without uttering any nonsense not asking anything about his past, Kun Yun knew that Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t simple. He especially hated such decisive and cunning people. Mo Wuji wholeheartedly wanted to escape as soon as possible. He knew he had to leave while the other party still couldn''t fully control this giant sea of consciousness. After all, the Dao was something that was uncertain. The other party might suddenly have an enlightenment which allowed him to heal his sea of consciousness rapidly. If that day comes, he, Mo Wuji, would die without being able to resist. A person like Kun Yun was so terrifying that Mo Wuji didn''t want to spend even half a breath more than he should. Mo Wuji''s speed was staggering. Coupled with the help of Kun Wu Sword, he only needed two days before there was nothing in front of him. A sensation of freedom came over; Mo Wuji''s spiritual will could sweep out unbridledly. He exhaled deeply. He had finally escaped; he had finally left that terrifying sea of consciousness. There were no longer any traces of Kun Yun''s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji didn''t even know where he came out from. However, Mo Wuji didn''t want to think too much about it. If such an ancient power couldn''t even do such a thing, then he wouldn''t be able to survive these years with such injuries. But Mo Wuji was soon dumbfounded. He was sure that this was not the void. The Laws of the Heaven and Earth here seemed much stronger than the Immortal World. Not only that, the immortal spiritual energy here was much thicker. No, this wasn''t immortal spiritual energy, this was an energy similar to that within the green crystals. The reason why he knew that this wasn''t the void was because there was air around him and his surroundings were murky black. This gave Mo Wuji the impression that he had just left one strange chasm and entered another. Mo Wuji could only whip out his Book of Luo to protect himself while he continuously moved upwards. A day passed and some light pierced through the darkness. Mo Wuji celebrated gleefully; he could tell that this was light from the Sun. Right at this moment, a terrifying feeling came from below his feet. Mo Wuji didn''t think too much as he directly teleported. "Kacha!" It felt as though the entire space had been bitten; Mo Wuji felt an intense sensation of emptiness around him. Fortunately, he had already landed on hard ground. Through his spiritual will, he noticed a terrifyingly large mouth flash by. Cold sweat trickled down Mo Wuji''s back. If he had been slower or if that giant mouth detected him earlier, he would have already been dead. Looking around, he found that he was standing at the edge of a deep gully. He had just come out from that gully. It was unknown exactly how deep that gully was as his spiritual will wasn''t even able to reach its bottom. Not only that, his spiritual eye also couldn''t see what was inside clearly. He added caution to his caution but he still almost got screwed by Kun Yun. That old demon Kun Yun, he must have used some method to send Mo Wuji from his sea of consciousness to this deep gully. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will swept around his surroundings. This place was desolate; there wasn''t even a strand of wild grass. That feeling of threat was constantly within his heart. Mo Wuji didn''t dare to stay here any further. He immediately fled using his Wind Escape Technique. After moving for a day, the energy around him got thicker and he finally stopped. There was finally signs of life here. A green and tender grass appeared by the side of the path. Mo Wuji elatedly sent over to dig this grass up. Exactly where did he end up in? There was actually a Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass by the side of the road. This was a Tier 9 immortal herb used to concoct a Tier 9 healing pill, the Immortal Dust Pill. He didn''t have much use for a healing pill but such a thing was a priceless treasure for other people. Just as Mo Wuji picked the Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass up, two shadows swiftly landed beside him. Mo Wuji grabbed his jade box and hurriedly retreated. He actually felt that these two were much stronger than him. At this instant, Mo Wuji''s heart was even bellowing angrily. Why were there so many experts? There were two women. Their looks were considered pretty and they both had almond-shaped faces. One of them was relatively taller. The two''s gaze swept across the jade box in Mo Wuji''s hand. When they saw that it was only a Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass in the jade box, a hint of disdain flashed across their eyes. That relatively taller woman asked, "What''s your name? Why have you appeared so near to Tao Tie Valley? Did you see a youth that is slightly shorter than you in the area?" Mo Wuji was slightly startled. Tao Tie Valley? Could it be the deep gully that he had just come out from? "I was asking you a question, didn''t you hear it? Also, why can''t I see through your cultivation?" The relatively taller woman suddenly harrumphed harshly. Following her harrumph, an intense aura pressed down on Mo Wuji, causing him to be unable to breathe. Mo Wuji''s heart pounded; he finally came to a realisation. This two woman''s auras were similar to that Yu Zhenna. Yu Zhenna was definitely from a realm higher than the Immortal World. Since these two could release the same auras as Yu Zhenna without needing regulation talismans, it meant that this place wasn''t the Immortal World. "I was here looking for some herbs. I didn''t see any youth," Mo Wuji said hurriedly. "Big Sister, this person looks a little slow. He even wants such rubbish herbs. He wouldn''t even notice it even if Uncle brushed past him," The shorter woman added. The taller one nodded, seemingly in agreement with the shorter woman''s words. Her tone became slightly gentler, "Then why can''t I see through your cultivation?" "I have a concealment technique which is not bad. If these two senior sisters are interested, I¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, that taller woman waved her hand, "Who wants your concealment technique? Also, with your bit of cultivation, why would you need to conceal it?" Mo Wuji said awkwardly, "I cultivate this technique on the side." "Little sister, let''s go." The taller woman felt that Mo Wuji was simply a passer-by, an insignificant one at that. Thus, she couldn''t be bothered to continue wasting her words on Mo Wuji. As the two walked into the distance, Mo Wuji could still hear their voices, "Big sister, that fella was looking for herbs in the vicinity of Tao Tie Valley. He truly leaves people speechless." The taller woman sneered, "With his capabilities, he wouldn''t even be able to get to the area with the lowest tier of god herbs. Even if he does, he would be courting his death." "Big sister is right." The shorter woman responded. By that time, the two were already in the distance. Mo Wuji looked at their disappearing silhouettes, the glee in his heart had vanished without a trace. Originally, he would have no qualms about leaving the Immortal World. But now, he still had a huge enemy left in the Immortal World - Zi Changluo. How could he rest at ease if Zi Changluo was still alive? He also didn''t know whether this was the God World of legends. Chapter 880: Sent To Mine Chapter 880: Sent To Mine Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as Mo Wuji was pondering about where he should head towards, he noticed a youth, who was half a head shorter than him, approaching from faraway. Even though the youth had yet to reach Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could guess that this youth should be the uncle mentioned by the two women; the person they were looking for. "This Dao Friend must be in good spirits to be looking for God spiritual herbs here at the Tao Tie Valley," The youth started laughing out loud at the sight of the Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass on Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. Mo Wuji kept the Two-leaved Immortal Dust Grass as he praised the beauty of this youth in his heart. That¡¯s right, he was indeed beautiful. Fair skin, large eyes and a delicate pair of hands which looked almost like a woman¡¯s. Only his hoarse voice gave him some aura of a man. "Ahah, I have a low cultivation so I don¡¯t dare to set foot onto the production land of the God spiritual herbs. Therefore, I could only find a desolate place like this to pick some low tier herbs," Mo Wuji replied awkwardly. The youth nodded when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, "That¡¯s true. Oh yes, did those two women came to look for me earlier on?" Mo Wuji replied, "They asked me about their uncle but they left right after I told them I have no idea who or where their uncle was." The youth pat Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder before saying, "Well said. Why don¡¯t you follow me? I shall bring you to a place to pick higher tier God spiritual herbs." Mo Wuji could sense that this youth¡¯s cultivation was much higher than his which was why he started feeling uneasy. "Many thanks, but I think I am still too weak now so I¡¯ll pass." Mo Wuji had no idea who this person was and comparatively, Mo Wuji was indeed much weaker than him. Given his current level of strength, following this man around would simply be courting early death. The youth lowered his voice and said, "I am not lying to you and I¡¯ve even heard of the existence of a god lattice there. I doubt you have obtained a god lattice right¡­" Mo Wuji was slightly dumbfounded as he wondered what a god lattice was. Could it be the same thing as an immortal lattice? From the words of this youth, it seemed like god lattice shouldn¡¯t be the same as an immortal lattice. Immortal lattice could be condensed using immortal lattice stones aka consciousness crystals or could be condensed using one¡¯s own Grand Dao spirituality. This youth mentioned ¡®existence¡¯ which meant to say that the god lattice was an actual object. Just as Mo Wuji was about to inquire more about the god lattice, the youth¡¯s expression changed and his body flashed across. In almost an instance, he disappeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could only feel a slight fluctuation in space and was unable to see how this youth disappeared right in front of him. However, just a few seconds later, the previous two woman landed right in front of Mo Wuji again. "What¡¯s your name?" The taller woman asked once more. Previously, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mention his own name but now that the other party came back to ask him again, he answered, "My name is Mo Wuji." "Very good, you are quite pleasing to the eye so follow us then," The taller woman sized Mo Wuji up once more before saying abruptly. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jumped. Leave with these two women? "Sorry, I have other matters to attend so I won¡¯t be able to follow you," Mo Wuji rejected without hesitation. The taller woman sneered, "This isn¡¯t up to you to decide." Having said that, she expanded her palm in an attempt to grab Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt relieved because this woman didn¡¯t seem to be able to control the space around him. Since the other party wasn¡¯t able to control the space around him, he would have the opportunity to escape. At the thought of this, a few streams of elemental energy was actually restraining him. In a hurry, Mo Wuji let out a punch. Bang! An oppressive sound was heard and Mo Wuji¡¯s domain crushing fist tore apart the restraining elemental energy. In the next moment, he had already escaped out from the restraining elemental energy. Simultaneously, his power of his domain crushing fist seemed like it had disappeared completely into an ocean. "Ai, I really couldn¡¯t tell that you have a few tricks up your sleeves," Having failed to capture Mo Wuji, the taller woman was not only not disappointed, her spirits seemed to be lifted. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was heavy because that shorter woman had yet to make her move. The punch that he let out also made him understood the logic as to why the opponent was unable to restrain his surrounding. That was because the Laws of Heaven and Earth here were much higher and if the opponent could restrain the space in a place like this, her cultivation would be enough to finish Mo Wuji easily. Mo Wuji had already extended his spiritual will to scan the surrounding as he prepared to escape. Even though the two women were clearly much stronger than him, he believed that he was still capable of escaping. The taller woman appeared to know what Mo Wuji was planning so she sneered and said, "If you are planning to escape, I assure you that you will be dead very soon. I have no idea how you came to this place but I can tell you that there are only three directions for you to leave this place. All three directions would end up in dead ends and you would be captured to mine for ores. Eventually, you will die in the boundless field. The only difference would be the different mining area you would be thrown to. And I assure that nothing would happen to you if you follow me. I have no ill-intentions towards you and in fact, you would be thankful you choose to follow me. If you are still doubtful, why don¡¯t you check it out yourself¡­" Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Wuji shifted and ignited his Wind Escape Technique to the maximum. "This fella¡¯s cultivation might not be high but he definitely had some experience in escaping," The taller woman didn¡¯t chase after him as the shorter woman exclaimed. The taller woman sneered, "Since he is so eager to die, we shall let him be. To think he would actually treat our kindness so indifferently, this fella would deserve it if he died in the mining area. Let¡¯s go, I don¡¯t believe we can¡¯t find a person to replace uncle." ¡­ After tens of breath, Mo Wuji knew that the two women didn¡¯t chase after him. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he grew a little more cautious. He suspected that the taller woman¡¯s words about someone obstructing him from leaving this place were true. Therefore, he had to be more cautious from now on. On the way, Mo Wuji picked out a few peak grade immortal herbs and even managed to pick out a few unknown herbs. These herbs exuded energy exceeding Tier 9 immortal herbs and Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that these were God spiritual herbs. "Looks like you¡¯ve picked up quite a few God spiritual herbs eh?" Just as Mo Wuji picked up another unknown God spiritual herb, he heard a faint voice. Mo Wuji¡¯s first thought was to shift away but just as he moved, a blade radiance exploded towards him. Mo Wuji¡¯s body flashed and before he could act, a rope, which looked like it had eyes, tied him up tightly. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue struggling because there were three people surrounding him and every one of them was stronger than the previous tall woman. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been so clueless even when the opponent was already in front of him. Fortunately, Mo Wuji knew that these people were not out to kill him because if they were, he would have sensed their killing intent. "An average cultivation level, I doubt he would be able to last long," A copper face man held onto the thick sword on his back as he sized Mo Wuji up. Evidently, his tone was filled with disappointment. "Ai, it is getting increasingly hard to find miners nowadays. Let¡¯s just be glad with that we found one, feed him with some Black Transformation Pill and send him away. He should still be able to dig out some god crystals and if we¡¯re lucky, we might even get some peak grade ones," A skinny and tall man standing on the left side of the copper face man exclaimed. The copper face man suddenly lifted his fist and before his fist could land on Mo Wuji¡¯s face, Mo Wuji took the initiative to open his mouth. "Not bad, you¡¯re pretty tactful." The copper face man laughed as he retracted his fist. In the next instance, a pill with fishy smell landed into his mouth. The moment the pill entered his mouth, his meridians actually showed signs of being routed. Mo Wuji cursed in his heart and hurried to circulate his detoxification meridian. Once the detoxification meridian was circulated, the wild and dark energy was instantly turned into a unique elemental energy. At that point in time, Mo Wuji could actually feel his cultivation rising exponentially. The pity was that he didn¡¯t dare to cultivate now and had to waste his opportunity. What an incredible pill. Despite not allowing the Black Transformation Pill to waste his meridians, Mo Wuji understood the use of this Black Transformation Pill. This was a pill which could blacken spirit roots and once the cultivator¡¯s spirit roots were blackened, it could be transform into energy. Moreover, the few guys talked about digging for god crystals so clearly, this was a pill to stop people who were supposed to mine from cultivating. By piecing up the words of these three people, it seemed like the Black Transformation Pill was used to support the miner¡¯s life force. In other words, mining would quicken the death of the miner. Pity was that these fellas didn¡¯t know that Mo Wuji had no spirit roots or even spirit channels. The toxic which could blacken his meridians had already been swept away by his detoxification meridian. Half an incense later, the short and fat man, who fed Mo Wuji the Black Transformation Pill, brought along a spirit roots detector to Mo Wuji. He took away Mo Wuji¡¯s ring before placing his hand on the spirit roots detector. The detector displayed a dark grey colour and no other colour. The skinny and tall man nodded as he knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit roots had already been blackened; primordial spirit should have dissipated too. With a sweep of his hand, he kept the rope which was tying Mo Wuji up. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t take the risk to try and escape. He could tell that these three fellas were well experienced in capturing people. With his current strength and inexperience of the place, the chances of him successfully escaping was slim. "Even without spirit roots or primordial spirit, you don¡¯t have to worry. As long as you dig out enough god crystals in the stipulated time, you will have the chance to recover your spirit roots and earn your freedom. Of course, if you choose to view this passively, you shall lose your chance at reincarnation. That would be pretty miserable," The skinny and tall man said to Mo Wuji. At this moment, Mo Wuji realised that the opposition was not only trying to blacken his spirit roots but also his primordial spirit. He didn¡¯t thought of this was because since he didn¡¯t have spirit roots, he would naturally not have primordial spirit too. ... Two hours later, Mo Wuji was brought to a massive flying ship. The copper face man threw Mo Wuji into a huge cabin before shutting the restriction of the ship and left. Mo Wuji realised that there were already over ten people on this ship but everyone here had a face of despair. Perhaps, he was the only one in the cabin who was still thinking about how to escape. Chapter 881: God Lattice Has Different Grades Too Chapter 881: God Lattice Has Different Grades Too Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The ship¡¯s cabin was very spacious and over 10 people were seated within in. Mo Wuji¡¯s spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will scanned through the cabin and could tell that these people¡¯s spirit roots had all been completely destroyed. However, the elemental energy surrounding their body was still surging turbulently. Everything was stored within the Dantian as Mo Wuji guessed that they should have been given the Black Transformation Pill. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t speak as he found a place to sit down. Just as he sat down, a skinny man shifted next to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji furrowed his brows because since the entire cabin was so spacious, what was the meaning of this fella¡¯s act? "Big Brother, my name is Tian Nu. May I ask how do I address Big Brother?" The skinny man asked softly. "Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji simply said this and didn¡¯t continue further. He was prepared to use his spirit storage channel to observe the surrounding before finding an opportunity to escape. As for mining, it shall be left with those who are interested; Mo Wuji had never intended to go over. "Could Big Brother Mo be guarding against me? Actually, I am the same type of person as Big Brother Mo." Tian Nu noticed that Mo Wuji was not exactly interested in talking to him so he added. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t reply, the same type of person? He had just come over from the Immortal World and was even unaware of the structure of the God World so how could he be the same type of person as this skinny man. Tian Nu further lowered his voice, "Big Brother Mo, if my guess wasn¡¯t wrong, Big Brother should still have your spirit roots and is still able to use your spiritual will." Mo Wuji was shocked and following which, he instantly realised that his use of his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will must have been detected by this man. His spirit storage channel was extremely concealed. Even if these people¡¯s spirit roots were not destroyed, they shouldn¡¯t be able to detect it so quickly. How would this skinny man know? At the instance Tian Nu mentioned about his use of spirit roots, Mo Wuji was already prepared to act and get rid of this skinny man. Tian Nu seemed to have sensed Mo Wuji¡¯s intention so he hurried to explain, "Big Brother must not misunderstand me. I am able to find out Big Brother¡¯s use of spiritual will only because I am a little unusual. Does Big Brother Mo has any other plans? Little Brother here is willing to follow you everywhere to support your cause. All I ask is for Big Brother to bring me away." Mo Wuji said faintly, "When I first arrived here, they had already told me that if I could mine enough god crystals, I would be able to earn my freedom back." Tian Nu said helplessly, "Big Brother Mo, you don¡¯t have to test me. If I really intended to plot against you, I would have told the manager directly that your spirit roots were not destroyed and you could still use your spiritual will. Why would I bother discussing terms with you?" Mo Wuji was already convinced by Tian Nu¡¯s words but he had no concrete plans yet so how could he form an alliance with someone else? Moreover, this skinny man should have no idea that he was only in the intermediate Immortal Emperor Stage. Otherwise, he should be pretty disappointed. Wouldn¡¯t it be a joke for an Immortal Emperor to bring a cultivator of the God World away? He didn¡¯t continue questioning why Tian Nu still had his spirit roots and spiritual will. Like himself, Mo Wuji understood that everyone had their own secret. "Could Big Brother Mo be thinking of using your spirit roots and spiritual will to get some god crystals from the god mining field before using it to leave?" Tian Nu said once again as he saw that Mo Wuji was still unwilling to reply. Mo Wuji pondered for a moment before saying, "Is that not possible?" Tian Nu said in a solemn tone, "If Big Brother Mo was planning to do that, you would be gravely mistaken. Do you really think we will be sent to mine for god crystals?" "Are we not?" Mo Wuji was confused. Initially, he was still considering to mine for some god crystals if he really had no other way out. Having some god crystals wouldn¡¯t do him harm because he still had his Undying World with him. Tian Nu said with an incredibly soft voice, "Big Brother Mo, think about it. With our destroyed spirit roots and primordial spirit, how long would we be able to mine for god crystals while only being supported by pills which replenish part of our elemental energy? If we are really going to mine for god crystals, they wouldn¡¯t have destroyed both our spirit channels and primordial spirit." "So what are we mining for?" Mo Wuji suddenly felt slightly frightened as he actually believed the words of those who captured him. It was as ridiculous as a wolf saying to a sheep: I am employing you to consume grass and once you¡¯ve consumed enough, I will let you go. Mo Wuji had studied psychology before so he would naturally know what was this about. The other party had captured him so it should be easy for them to kill him off. Now that they didn¡¯t kill him, he subconsciously thought that they wouldn¡¯t lie to him. Tian Nu¡¯s words were clearly correct too because without spirit roots or spirit channels coupled with the blackened primordial spirit, one wouldn¡¯t be able to mine for a prolonged period of time no matter how much elemental energy one had. "Big Brother should have some understanding towards god lattice right?" Tian Nu asked. Mo Wuji answered, "I have heard of it but I am not too sure about it. Could you help by explaining to me? Because of my low cultivation level, I am even unaware of the realms in the God World." "Ah¡­" Tian Nu let out an ¡®ah¡¯ when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes. It seemed to be because Mo Wuji said that his cultivation was still low. However, he readjusted his attitude and said with an even softer voice, "Big Brother, you¡¯re not from here right?" Mo Wuji guessed that it should be because he appeared clueless about even the realms of the God World which was why Tian Nu started suspecting him. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t choose to conceal anything as he nodded, "Yes, I am indeed not from this place. Hopefully Brother Tian Nu can provide some explanation to me." Tian Nu suddenly stopped talking and moments later, the cabin door was reopened and two more unconscious cultivators were thrown in. In one look, Mo Wuji knew that these two fellas were captured to mine as well. Whether or not they were really going to mine or not, their fate should be the same as everyone else in here. Once the cabin door was shut again, Tian Nu said, "Actually, this place isn¡¯t called the God World but the God Domain. In the God Domain, the strongest would be God Kings. However, there weren¡¯t many God Kings even in the entire God Domain. Those who had just entered the God Realm would be in the Nascent God Stage and it is split into 9 levels. As long as one cultivated to level 9 of the Nascent God Stage, one would be able to condense god lattice and step into the Heavenly God Stage. Heavenly Gods are the true gods who have been recognised by the Heaven Dao Laws. The Heavenly God Stage was also divided into 9 levels and one would be able to charge towards the God Monarch Stage at the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage. Big Brother Mo, the most precious thing in the God Realm isn¡¯t any treasure or pills but the god lattice¡­" Mo Wuji was intending to inquire further about the stages after the God Monarch Stage but hearing Tian Nu talked about how precious the god lattice was, he asked, "Brother Tian Nu, could you explain more about the god lattice?" Tian Nu knew that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t from the God Domain so he didn¡¯t find it odd, "A Nascent God who wishes to enter a higher stage must condense his own god lattice. The grade of the god lattice would eventually affect how far one could go in the future." "There are different grades to the god lattice?" "Of course there are, the god lattice is graded by stars. One star would be the lowest grade while five stars is the highest. You should know about God King Wu Jie right? Oh yes, I doubt you would know about him. I¡¯ve heard that he had condensed a five stars god lattice. In the entire God World, the number of experts with five stars god lattice were as rare as a phoenix feather and a unicorn horn. Tian Nu appeared extremely familiar with these matters as he explained everything in great details. Just as Mo Wuji was going to inquire further, Tian Nu raised his hand to stop Mo Wuji from speaking, "I know what you¡¯re going to ask. In the God World, there are many forms of appearance for the existence of god lattice. The main ones would be God Lattice Dao Fruit, god lattice crystals and I¡¯ve even heard that consciousness crystals could even be used to condense god lattice. The God Lattice Dao Fruit would only form god lattice of three stars and below so the god lattice crystals would still be the most valuable treasure to condense god lattice. God lattice crystals are graded by the number of colours. One coloured god lattice crystals are the most commonly seen and the use of one coloured crystal would form a one star god lattice. Five coloured god lattice crystals are the rarest and every one of them would ignite a bloody reign of terror¡­" Mo Wuji hurried to ask, "What is the consciousness crystal? It could also be used to condense god lattice?" Tian Nu replied, "There are huge restrains in using the consciousness crystal and even dangers. This is crystal rock condensed from the sea of consciousness of fallen ancient experts. Those who used the consciousness crystals would usually not be able to achieve their full potential and could even degrade along the way. One example would be if an expert with five stars god lattice had fallen, his sea of consciousness could at most form three stars god lattice. I¡¯ve even heard of a type of god lattice called the primal god lattice which was rumoured to be a heaven splitting existence. People called this god lattice the god tablet and those who condensed the god tablet lattice are likely to be creators of a new world." Mo Wuji nodded as Tian Nu¡¯s explanation was not far off from Ji Li¡¯s explanation and the only difference was the Ji Li didn¡¯t explain about the god lattice. Mo Wuji had nothing much on him except loads of consciousness crystals which he would not use for himself. At the very least, he would sell them away in the future. "You said we weren¡¯t going to mine so why are we going to do?" "I¡¯m suspecting that we wouldn¡¯t be mining but to collect god lattice crystals¡­" Tian Nu said in a low voice. "How is this different from mining?" Mo Wuji questioned because collecting sounded the same as mining. Tian Nu answered, "In the God Domain, 90% of the god lattice crystals are at the God Burial Valley¡­" At this moment, Mo Wuji felt a slight tremble at the bottom of his feet. He exchanged glances with Tian Nu and both of them new that the flying ship had moved off. Mo Wuji said calmly, "Brother Tian Nu, I have decided to work with you so please continue." Despite sensing that Mo Wuji was not that strong, Tian Nu was still pleasantly surprised, "I knew that Big Brother Mo isn¡¯t ordinary . The god lattice crystal still had a unique character and that is that it was suspended within the God Burial Valley. It is extremely firm and one wouldn¡¯t be able to bring it down unless one had sufficient elemental energy. Anybody who brings the god lattice crystal down would have his primordial spirit and spirit roots merged and then condense the god lattice." "Are you saying that if our primordial spirit and spirit roots were not blackened, we would be the ones using the god lattice crystals once we touched it?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. "Indeed." "Since this is the case, why don¡¯t those people who want to condense their god lattice grab the god lattice crystals themselves?" Tian Nu sighed, "If the god lattice crystals were so easy to obtain, it wouldn¡¯t be that valuable anymore. The God Burial Valley was reputable only because anyone who enters would have his life force depleted. Once you enter the God Burial Valley, you could lose your entire life force even before you find any god lattice crystal." "So frightening," Mo Wuji exclaimed in his heart. If he hadn¡¯t met Tian Nu, he would really believe that he could mine for some god lattice crystals to bring away. Chapter 882: The Change Outside The God Burial Valley Chapter 882: The Change Outside The God Burial Valley Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Tian Nu continued, "Big Brother Mo, if my guess is right, we would lose our consciousness and thought once we reached the God Burial Valley. After which, our hands would be carved with transfer array runes before being sent into the God Burial Valley. In this manner, we would be focused only on finding the god lattice crystal and once we find those crystals, it will be immediately transferred to the greedy people outside. Therefore, we have to find a way to escape even before we reach the God Burial Valley." "Are there any examples of people surviving even after entering the God Burial Valley?" Mo Wuji asked. Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Tian Nu said anxiously, "Big Brother Mo, your future would definitely be extraordinary but you must not think about this. Even a God King with nine lives wouldn''t survive once he entered the God Burial Valley. Indeed, there were people who managed to escape alive but they had either turn retarded or died the moment they escaped. The only person who escaped with no major injuries was God King Wu Jie. In fact, he managed to obtain his five coloured god lattice crystal from the God Burial Valley." Mo Wuji nodded, "I get it now. Brother Tian Nu, do you have any good idea?" From Mo Wuji''s perspective, this person named Tian Nu was definitely not simple. Even while he knew that Mo Wuji had low cultivation, he didn''t seem to have any hesitation. Because Mo Wuji had created the Mortal Dao, he managed to enter this place unharmed. If Tian Nu could also enter unharm, how could he be a simple person? Tian Nu shook his head, "Big Brother Mo, I have two Mind Palaces which was why I have two seas of consciousness. One of my sea of consciousness could stimulate out fake spirit roots and spirit channels. The reason why I am capable of using my spiritual will now is not because I am incredibly powerful but because only one of my sea of consciousness, one set of fake spirit roots and spirit channels have been destroyed. My strength is at concealment and I''m weak in other areas. As long as Big Brother Mo could get us out of here, I would have a way to conceal the both of us¡­" Mo Wuji understood why Tian Nu wanted to work with him. It was so that Tian Nu could borrow his strength. Mo Wuji didn''t dare to extend his spiritual will outwards because he knew how weak he was compared to everyone else in this place. If even Tian Nu could notice his spiritual will, how could he expect the others to not notice him? Even if it was because Tian Nu had a unique ability, Mo Wuji was not willing to risk. "Tian Nu, you can address me by my name in the future. I might be even weaker than you so I''m afraid we wouldn''t be able to escape this ship at all. Also, I don''t think I am fit enough to be addressed as Big Brother by you," Mo Wuji said honestly. Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, there was indeed a flash of disappointment in Tian Nu''s eyes. Even so, he concealed his emotions well as he said, "Precisely because Big Brother Mo is not very strong, the people outside wouldn''t be able to notice your situation which is why Big Brother Mo''s future would be incredibly promising. Big Brother Mo, feel free to suggest any ideas and regardless of success or failure, Tian Nu would agree to it all." "Great," Mo Wuji said, "Given our strengths now, trying to leave the ship would be an impossible dream. My plan would be to wait till we reach the periphery of the God Burial Valley. If all else fails, we shall enter the God Burial Valley." "Ah¡­" Tian Nu was momentarily dumbfounded when he heard of Mo Wuji''s idea. These people want them to look for god lattice crystals so they would definitely make them lose their consciousness once they reached the God Burial Valley. Without consciousness, how would they be able to think of any idea. Moreover, even if they retained their consciousness, their life force would be sucked away by the God Burial Valley. Mo Wuji patted Tian Nu''s shoulder as he said, "Tian Nu, just have faith in me." Mo Wuji had the detoxification and vitality channel so he didn''t believe the God Burial Valley could finish him off. Even though this was his thoughts, Mo Wuji was still very frustrated and helpless. He was well aware that other than entering the God Burial Valley, there was no other way around this. With his intermediate Immortal Emperor''s strength, he wouldn''t have any means of escaping even if he had monstrous intelligence against these people who captured him so easily. Sometimes, everything else would simply be like fleeting clouds in front of true strength. "Big Brother Mo, I trust you," Tian Nu knew that Mo Wuji made his decision helplessly but he had no other choice too. Listening to Mo Wuji would bring about a slight chance because if he chose not to trust Mo Wuji, what could he do on his own? Just as Mo Wuji was about to speak again, Tian Nu suddenly shut his eyes with a face of despair. Mo Wuji knew that Tian Nu was extremely sensitive in this aspect so he followed suit to shut his eyes while revealing a disappointed expression. Half a moment later, the cabin door was opened and a bald headed man walked in. After entering, he didn''t say anything as he simply sat beside the door. Mo Wuji had no choice but to keep all his burning questions by the side of his heart. He could only wait for further opportunities to ask Tian Nu. ¡­ Multiple days later, the bald headed man had yet to leave but the flying ship came to a halt. The flying ship stopped and the door opened. The bald headed man looked at the people inside the cabin as he said with a cold voice, "Everyone follows me and we shall consume an antidote first. Because the air of our mining area contains poison, everyone needs to consume the antidote first. Those who perform well will be rewarded with your freedom a year later. Those fortunate and are able to find peak grade god crystals would be rewarded your freedom immediately. Additionally, you will be given a god pill to recover your spirit roots. It was perhaps the bald headed man''s last sentence that came into effect because everyone suddenly felt rejuvenated. Pills were passed down by the bald headed man and Mo Wuji received one pitched black pill too. The pill brought along a fishy smell and it looked similar to the ordinary antidote for poisons. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he swallowed the pill in his hand. Tian Nu saw that Mo Wuji had swallowed the pill so he followed suit. He was certain that his judgement would not be wrong. Mo Wuji was not only able to retain his primordial spirit as well as spirit roots so Tian Nu was confident in Mo Wuji''s abilities. More importantly, he believed that Mo Wuji was trustworthy enough. Corroding dao spirituality expanded throughout his body and Mo Wuji could feel everything blackening in his mind. Concurrently, the detoxification meridian started circulating. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief as he was worried that his detoxification meridian might not work. If the detoxification meridian worked, he would still have an opportunity of escaping. At the same time, his spirit storage channel made use of his detoxification meridian to sweep up the toxic in Tian Nu''s body. Mo Wuji''s detoxification meridian would be able to disregard even the peak grade highly poisonous toxic. Therefore, these two pills worth of toxic merely needed one circulation of the meridian to cleanse it. After Tian Nu sent the pill into his mouth, his face turned pale immediately. The toxic pill was simply so terrifying that it wrapped around his entire nervous system almost instantaneously. With a toxic like that, what would be the point even if he managed to escape with Mo Wuji eventually? The numbness could be felt and before Tian Nu entered the state of daze, he could feel a spiritual will extending towards him. Following which, a mighty elemental energy swept all the toxic away from his mind without leaving a single bit behind. An indescribable happiness overwhelmed his heart as he knew that this must be Big Brother Mo''s help. Just when his consciousness was about to be erased, Mo Wuji silently helped him removed the toxic. Just how terrifyingly strong was Mo Wuji? In fact, Mo Wuji''s character made him even more thankful and excited. After all, Mo Wuji''s act of helping him at a moment like this would land himself in great danger. Moreover, Mo Wuji had no need to help him now. Tian Nu was certain that this wasn''t the time to be grateful as his face turned numbed and dazed. Mo Wuji was also like Tian Nu as his face appeared numbed and dazed. The bald headed man saw everyone standing in front of him turn dazed so he nodded satisfyingly, "I am about to tell you two things now. Firstly, put on this gloves." As he spoke, a pair of gloves was floating in front of everyone here. Mo Wuji, like everyone else, put on the gloves that were suspending in front of him. The instance he held the gloves, Mo Wuji knew that this was a pair of gloves with transfer array carved on it. It seemed like Tian Nu''s guess was not wrong. "Secondly, everyone please follow me." The bald headed man said as he led the way. Mo Wuji was in the middle of the group of people with his dazed eyes. He didn''t use his spiritual will or his spirit storage channel but he could see that this was indeed a desolate place. Moreover, Mo Wuji noticed that there were already hundreds of people gathered here. These people were just like them as all of their eyes were dazed and numbed too. Very soon, Mo Wuji understood what was happening. Those people who captured them here were not after god lattice and instead, they brought them here to sell. The hundreds of people here were evidently brought here by the various groups of ''kidnappers''. A green robed man appeared in front of Mo Wuji and co. as he scanned through their bodies. With a stern tone, he said, "I have an opportunity for everyone now. Everyone is to walk inside and remember to keep walking forward. If you find anything along the way, remember to grab onto them with force." Once he said that, the green robe man took out an edgy shaped crystal. Mo Wuji looked dazedly at this particular white crystal. After everyone looked through it, the green robe man said, "This crystal could be multi-coloured too. Whichever colour you see, you have to grab hard and this will be your opportunity at life. Understand?" "Yes," A jagged reply was heard and every voice seemed to have a preset order to it. "Alright, you can head in now." The green robe man waved his hand as he pointed to a curved dirt road. The hundreds of people followed the path into the curved dirt road and not one of them had any opinions. At this moment, Mo Wuji could feel that his surrounding let out an explosion. Following that, Mo Wuji heard as though something was broken and everything in front of him cleared up. Previously, this place was protected by a defensive array. This was Mo Wuji''s first reaction when the explosion was heard. "Ying Congchang, your Black Mustard God Merchant House actually installed a concealed grand array at a remote corner of the God Burial Valley and commit such outrageous act? Even the entire God World will never forgive a scum like you¡­" An enraged voice was heard and a piercing blade radiance, which even Mo Wuji could feel, landed. Chapter 883: Completely Reliant On Acting Chapter 883: Completely Reliant On Acting Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Killing intent shrouded the entire area and Mo Wuji certainly didn¡¯t think that would still be a person with justice in the God World. Mo Wuji knew that no one would bother about them at this moment in time so he transmitted a message to Tian Nu, "Remember to avoid killing intent." "I get it, many thanks Big Brother." Tian Nu transmitted the message back with emotions. He didn¡¯t expect the big brother he met would be so heaven defying that he could even detoxify poison which could blacken the nervous system. Not only that, Mo Wuji even helped him detoxify the poison in him unknowingly. The elemental energy continued to explode in space and random cultivators were constantly being killed. Even in the periphery of the battle, Mo Wuji felt that breathing had became difficult. This made Mo Wuji realised how truly weak he was in this great big world. "Dao Friend, it wouldn¡¯t do you any good by killing me, Ying Congchang. Let me go and I could at least save these people¡­" A hoarse voice sounded out. Mo Wuji heard the voice clearly and knew that it was that previous Zi Pao. "Alright¡­" All Mo Wuji heard was an ¡®alright¡¯ and in the next moment, he heard Ying Congchang¡¯s desperate cry, "Despicable¡­" Mo Wuji knew that Ying Congchang had been killed. From the looks of it, the person who killed Ying Congchang didn¡¯t really seem like he wanted to save them. The surrounding quieten down and a clear voice could be heard, "All of you, turn around." Including Mo Wuji, the hundreds of dazed looking people turned around to look at the person speaking. The person was a female with slightly yellow skin. Additionally, her hair was evidently yellow too and her eyes were rather big. She wasn¡¯t considered ugly but wasn¡¯t particularly pretty too. If her skin was slightly fairer, she could be described as delicate. It was the two women standing on either side of her that made Mo Wuji sigh. These two women were the two people he had escaped from earlier on. Who would have expected that after all these drama, he would still be captured by these two women. Standing behind the yellow hair woman was an old lady. This old lady might look old but one could still see her once delicate appearance. Killing intent were still exuding from her body and she still looked a little blood-thirsty. Evidently, she was the one who attacked and was probably their main force. "Where is uncle?" The yellow hair woman scanned through the crowd and asked with a calm voice. The tall woman hurried to bow as she replied, "Little miss, I followed them all the way because uncle was captured by them. This was also how I managed to leave traces behind. I didn¡¯t expect uncle to be not around but that fella is here. That fella refused to listen to me and was indeed caught by these people." Having said that, she pointed at Mo Wuji, who was standing amidst the crowd. The yellow hair woman¡¯s eyes fell on Mo Wuji before saying, "Aunt Jun, can this person be recovered?" The old lady standing behind the yellow hair woman shook her head, "Little miss, this person had his spirit roots and primordial spirit blacken by the Black Transformation Pill. To make things worse, his nervous system had been destroyed by the Perplex Spiritual Pill. At the very most, I would be able to recover part of his consciousness, allow him to have simple interactions and do simple tasks. The others¡­" The old lady didn¡¯t continue on. The yellow hair woman sighed, "Since he almost became my husband, I guess we have some affinity. Aunt Jun, go save him." The old lady didn¡¯t speak as she raised her hand and landed a pill accurately into Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth. Once the pill enter, it formed a icy cold stream which moisten Mo Wuji¡¯s mind. Mo Wuji suspected if he had truly lost his consciousness from the Perplex Spiritual Pill. This pill might have helped him recover fully. A while later, Mo Wuji revealed extra signs of life force in his eyes and even took a few steps forward to look around doubtfully. "There is no need to look around anymore. My little miss had saved your life," The tall woman, who wanted to bring Mo Wuji away, spoke with a stern voice. "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji stared at the tall woman and didn¡¯t react for a while. The yellow hair woman sighed before saying, "Bring him away and let him do some simple tasks in the farmstead." "Yes," The old lady raised her hand and Mo Wuji could feel a mighty elemental energy sweeping towards him in an attempt to bring him away. Tian Nu saw that Mo Wuji was brought away so he quickly darted out from the crowd of people as he escaped swiftly. ... Two days later, the flying ship stopped on a massive station plaza. Mo Wuji followed the four women down and he saw four massive words: Shen Jiang Transfer Station. The yellow hair woman kept the flying ship as she said, "Let¡¯s head over to check out the Phecda God Sect. I¡¯ve heard that they are recruiting disciples."Mo Wuji, who was standing by the side, was shocked because he didn¡¯t know if Phecda is his Tian Ji [1]. He was extremely curious to know why the God Domain had this sect and that there was only an additional ¡®God¡¯ behind it. "Little miss, we must not leave the Lightning Sword Manor at a moment like this because if we leave, the Lightning Sword Manor would no longer belong to the surname ¡®Xi¡¯." The tall woman said with a slightly anxious tone. The yellow hair woman sighed, "What can I do? Now that they have brought out the teachings of the Xi Clan¡¯s ancestors and we haven¡¯t found an uncle to enter the Lightning Clan, we are basically not able to enter the ancestral hall." The tall woman¡¯s eyes landed back on Mo Wuji and Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jumped. You can¡¯t possibly want me to be your uncle right? I already have an incomplete consciousness and you still want me to be your uncle? Aren¡¯t you setting the standards too low? "Little miss, how are you going to obtain Old Lord¡¯s legacy if you can¡¯t enter the ancestral hall? This uncle issue is only a makeshift strategy and your agreement would also be part of the makeshift strategy. Once you¡¯ve obtain Old Lord¡¯s legacy, you would be able to create your own world and control the Lightning Sword Manor." The tall woman said energetically. That short woman also agreed, "Little miss, Sister Qian Hua¡¯s words are right. You¡¯ve even saved Mo Wuji and if it wasn¡¯t for you, Mo Wuji would have been dead. He would have helped you at a moment like this." The truth was that both of them were certain Mo Wuji¡¯s intelligence was not sufficient enough to fight back like before. The yellow hair woman¡¯s eyes lit up as she instantly looked back at Mo Wuji, "Qian Hua, you and Xun Ji are right. Mo Wuji, you shall be the uncle of my Xi Clan and rest assure that I wouldn¡¯t ill-treat you. When I take control of the Lightning Sword Manor, I would find a way to help you recover your spirit roots." To continue acting like a dazed person, Mo Wuji could only despise this woman in his heart. Mo Wuji exclaimed in his heart, how could you be bashful about this and didn¡¯t even bother asking me before making the decision for me? Fortunately, he heard that he only had to be their temporary uncle which was still acceptable by him. The shorter woman sighed, "I¡¯m only afraid that they find out that this uncle is fake and find other reasons to give us trouble." The quiet old lady sneered, "Even if you find the real uncle back, they would still think its a fake. What¡¯s important is for little miss to enter the ancestral hall and everything else is secondary." The yellow hair woman nodded seriously, "Aunt Jun is right. Whether or not they know that the uncle I found is fake, they wouldn¡¯t be able to stop me from entering my Xi Clan¡¯s ancestral hall." Once she said this, the yellow hair woman turned to Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, all you have to know is that I am your wife. There¡¯s nothing else for you to know and also, my name is Xi Nianmo¡­" Xi Nianmo didn¡¯t look down on Mo Wuji and actually explained everything to Mo Wuji. Half an incense later, Mo Wuji had a rough idea of everything that had happened. Xi Nianmo came from the Lightning Sword Manor and the original owner of the Lightning Sword Manor was Xi Jing. Xi Nianmo never mentioned about Xi Jing¡¯s cultivation level but Mo Wuji¡¯s guess was that it wasn¡¯t low. Many years ago, Xi Jing did something extremely dangerous and never came back. The entire Lightning Sword Manor believed that he had fallen. The temporary lord of the Lightning Sword Manor ended up to be Xi Jing¡¯s only daughter, Xi Nianmo. The Xi Clan¡¯s legacy had always been kept in the Xi Clan¡¯s ancestral hall. Logically speaking, Xi Nianmo was Xi Jing¡¯s only daughter and inheriting the Lightning Sword Manor and entering the Xi Clan¡¯s ancestral hall shouldn¡¯t be a problem at all. However, there was indeed a problem. The problem lies with the fact that Xi Jing once brought back a pregnant woman named Fan Lin. Fan Lin gave birth to a boy back when she was at the Lightning Sword Manor. The boy followed his mother¡¯s surname and was called Fan Sui. After Xi Jing had fallen suspiciously, Fan Lin actually stood out to say that Fan Sui was Xi Jing¡¯s son and that Xi Jing didn¡¯t mention it previously because of pride. If she didn¡¯t had the support of other people in the Lightning Sword Manor, Fan Lin would have been killed for saying such things. The key was that when Fan Lin mentioned about how Fan Sui was also Xi Jing¡¯s son and could inherit the Lightning Sword Manor, half of the elder of the Lightning Sword Manor actually supported Fan Lin. They believed that according to the teachings of the ancestors, Xi Nianmo was not married so she shouldn¡¯t inherit the legacy of the Lightning Sword Manor¡¯s Xi Clan. Once she reached this point, Mo Wuji understood the story. He was also helpless at how he came out quagmire just to enter another one. "Mo Wuji, this matter had nothing to do with you initially. I know that you would probably only understand half of what I¡¯ve said but just remember that I am your wife and you are the uncle of the Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Nianmo comforted Mo Wuji after reciting everything to Mo Wuji in simple terms. "I get it," Mo Wuji replied in a low muffled voice because what else could he say now? If he said that he was never poisoned, could he have left this place alone? That would probably be the way to death. He didn¡¯t expect that after all these years of cultivation, he had to rely on his acting skills to survive. [1]: Phecda in chinese would be Tian Ji as well. However, the ¡®Ji¡¯ in Phecda is a different character from the Tian Ji Sect that Mo Wuji was from. Chapter 884: Clan Meeting Chapter 884: Clan Meeting Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After coming down from the transfer array, Mo Wuji sat on another flying ship for over a month before it finally stopped. As Mo Wuji walked down the flying ship, the first thing he saw was a verdant hillside. Incredibly dense elemental energy could be felt and Mo Wuji''s entire body felt relaxed at the same moment. He guessed that this should be the god spiritual energy. The god spiritual energy here was multiple folds denser than that of the Tao Tie Valley but what made Mo Wuji felt so comfortable was that the spiritual energy here didn''t have as much impurities as those at the Tao Tie Valley. The clearness in the laws of Heaven and Earth made Mo Wuji can''t wait to sit down immediately to undergo enlightenment. Mo Wuji was certain that he could step into the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage if he started cultivating here. This was only the periphery of the Lightning Sword Manor as Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had already scanned further down the hillside where three gigantic words were displayed: Lightning Sword Manor. A clear and wide bluestone path was inclined upwards as it stretched directly to the Lightning Sword Manor. Xi Nianmo led the way while the old lady named Xi Jun followed closely beside her. The two women Qian Hua and Xun Ji followed behind her and Mo Wuji could only walk at the back. After stepping onto the bluestone path towards the Lightning Sword Manor, Xi Nianmo walked for over ten steps before stopping and turning back intentionally towards Mo Wuji, "Husband, you should walk right next to me." Mo Wuji could only answer with an ''en'' as he walked right next to Xi Nianmo. What made Mo Wuji suspicious was that Xi Nianmo was after all still the temporary Manor Lord but now that she had returned, nobody actually stood out to welcome her. However, by looking at the expression of Aunt Jun, Xun Ji and Qian Hua, Mo Wuji knew that there was something unusual regarding this matter. Only when Xi Nianmo arrived right outside the main entrance of the Lightning Sword Manor, the inner defensive array of the Lightning Sword Manor opened up. Two green robed disciples stood at the entrance as they bowed, "Greetings, little miss." "How daring! Don''t you know how to address the Manor Lord properly?" Qian Hua shouted furiously. "Qian Hua, having followed little miss out for a few days, your temper had indeed been affected. Why do I think that he wasn''t wrong in addressing little miss? Little miss is after all only the temporary Manor Lord. Because little miss have yet to return after a few days, the replacement Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor is Young Master Xi Sui¡­" A calm voice was heard and a middle age man wearing grey robe walked out from the side. Xi Sui? Xi Nianmo hesitated for a while before coming back to her senses. Isn''t Xi Sui the same person as Fan Sui? She had only been out for two months and a person, whose identity had yet to be confirmed, actually took over her position as the temporary Manor Lord and even changed his surname to ''Xi'' so publicly. "Xi Di, you''re merely a manager so how dare you speak to little miss with such tone? Since you''re courting death, I shall fulfill your wish¡­" Xi Jun, who was standing right next to Xi Nianmo, was enraged as she sent a palm flying towards the grey robe middle aged man. Even though the wild elemental energy had been condensed into one palm, Mo Wuji could sense the killing intent from within. Mo Wuji thought in his heart: this old lady''s temper is not a joke. One sentence which displeased her and she wants him dead. Mo Wuji sensed that this grey robe manager named Xi Di was much weaker than this old lady and the difference in strength wasn''t one or two point only. If this palm landed on him, Xi Di would probably not survive. "Boom!" Xi Jun''s palm exploded in mid-air and a terrifying waves of elemental energy exploded out. Even though Mo Wuji subconsciously retreated immediately after Xi Jun acted, Mo Wuji was still sent flying after being struck by the remnants elemental waves of explosion. Mo Wuji was merely hit by the waves of explosions but he saw Xi Jun spitting out a mouthful of blood. Mo Wuji was shocked because he had witnessed Xi Jun''s strength before when she killed off the Black Mustard God Merchant House so easily. An expert like this would actually spit out blood in a simple combat like this. Mo Wuji had severely underestimated the power of the Lightning Sword Manor and was even more upset that he was dragged into a battle like this. This was never what he intended and if Xi Nianmo failed to regain the throne, he could very well perish together with her. How would he, a small fry, be able to protect his own life in a place like this? A square face man appeared in front of everyone and evidently, he was the one who threw out the fist from far away to intercept Xi Jun''s palm. "Elder Baren, what is the meaning of this?" Xi Nianmo''s face turned serious as she said angrily. "Little miss, the manor must have the manor''s rules. Manager Di didn''t say anything wrong and Elder Jun wanted him dead. If a small matter like this would cost the life of a manager of our Lightning Sword Manor, my Lightning Sword Manor would decline very soon." The square face man said with a calm tone and was evidently not too bothered by Xi Nianmo. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because if he was Xi Nianmo, he really wouldn''t come back to fight to be the Manor Lord. It was clear that in this manor, her speaking right had been severely restrained. Xi Nianmo took in a breath of air before saying with a calm tone, "Aunt Jun was slightly rash in this matter so we shall forget about it now." "Since little miss says to forget about it, we would naturally forget about it." The square face elder said. Mo Wuji despised this fella because he was even better at acting than himself. Mo Wuji really wanted Xi Nianmo to bite back to say that she wanted Xi Di dead to see how this square face elder would react. Xi Nianmo controlled her rage as she said once more, "I have yet to return so why did you give away my position as the temporary Manor Lord?" Hearing Xi Nianmo''s words, the square face elder reverted back to his serious face as he said, "Little miss isn''t wrong and I was initially against the idea of taking away little miss'' position as the temporary manor lord. However, i am unable to further rebut their argument that according to the rules of the Lightning Sword Manor, the Manor Lord must be fully grown to take up this responsibility. Their definition of fully grown would be to get married. Little miss wasn''t married¡­" Xi Nianmo waved her hand and interrupted the square face elder''s words as she pointed at Mo Wuji concurrently. Mo Wuji was helpless as he could only walk to the side of Xi Nianmo. Xi Nianmo grabbed onto Mo Wuji''s hand as she said, "Elder Baren, this is my husband, Mo Wuji. Wuji, this is one of the five great elders of my Lightning Sword Manor, Elder Xi Baren. Hurry up and greet him." Mo Wuji looked dazedly at Xi Nianmo before sizing up Xi Baren and then saying with a confused voice, "Xi Baren?" Having said that, Mo Wuji furrowed his brows as he wondered why this square face elder would be called Xi Baren. Xi Nianmo hurried to explain to Xi Baren, "Elder Baren, Wuji was captured by the Black Mustard God Merchant House to look for god lattice crystals so he had been given the Perplex Spiritual Pill. This was why his answers to questions now are a little simplistic. I hope that Elder wouldn''t mind this." Xi Baren smiled, "Little miss is too serious about this. Since he is the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor, we will do our very best to save him." Mo Wuji had experienced too many incidents over the years and he wasn''t those type who only knew how to cultivate behind closed doors. From Xi Baren''s casual words, Mo Wuji knew that he had already done his investigation on everyone here. He should know about his origins and where Xi Nianmo came from. Mo Wuji wasn''t wrong because Xi Baren had indeed checked on where Xi Nianmo had been to. As for the filthy acts of the Black Mustard God Merchant House, too many people were aware of it. However, not everyone was as forthright as Xi Nianmo to eliminate the entire Black Mustard God Merchant House. Firstly, too many people have done such things and secondly, the implications to future benefits would be too severe. On the surface, Xi Nianmo killed the Black Mustard God Merchant House but unknowingly, she had offended many other people. After Xi Baren''s casual sentence, he changed the topic of conversation immediately, "Little miss, since you''re back at the manor, why don''t we organise a clan meeting three days later to reach an agreement on the matter of the manor lord position?" Xi Nianmo replied faintly, "Why should we wait for three days later? Let''s go and discuss matters right now at the clan''s meeting hall." "Alright, I shall go arrange matters now," Xi Baren replied promptly as he turned to Manager Xi Di behind him, "Xi Di, go inform all the elders and direct disciples to head towards the clan''s meeting hall now." "Roger that," Xi Di bowed in respect, took a few steps back before turning away. As compared to Xi Nianmo, Xi Di''s attitude towards Elder Baren was much better. "I shall go prepare some matters too," After Xi Di left, Xi Baren mentioned this and before Xi Nianmo could say anything, he had already left. "Little miss, I''m afraid that in the few days we''re not around, the Lightning Sword Manor already had major changes to it," Xi Jun said worryingly after the two of them left speedily. Xi Nianmo said calmly, "No matter how great the change is, the Manor Lord token is in my hands. Without my token, nobody would be able to enter the Xi Clan''s ancestral hall. Wuji¡­" "I am here," Mo Wuji looked dazedly at Xi Nianmo as if he couldn''t understand why he was here and why Xi Nianmo would call out for him. Xi Nianmo looked at Mo Wuji before saying one word at a time, "After reaching the clan''s meeting hall, you shall not speak at all. If anyone asked you anything, all you need to say is that you are my husband and that you have no idea about anything else." "Oh," Mo Wuji answered as he didn''t continue saying anything. ¡­ The Lightning Sword Manor''s clan meeting hall was not big and it looked just like an assembly hall. The furnitures and decorations here were extremely simplistic with only a few stone pillars and tables. The clan meeting hall had a massive pond in the middle which Mo Wuji couldn''t wrap his head around. Mo Wuji didn''t have spirit roots so he wasn''t personally experienced in terms of the metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning and ice attributes of spirit roots. However, because he had cultivated lightning attribute sacred art before, he could sense that the pond in the hall was a lightning pond because of the great lightning energy from within it. Only Xi Jun and Mo Wuji followed Xi Nianmo into the meeting hall because Xi Jun was the elder of the Lightning Sword Manor, she was qualified to enter. Mo Wuji was Xi Nianmo''s husband so he would naturally be able to enter. As for Qian Hua and Xun Ji, they could only wait outside. Xi Nianmo didn''t stand on any ceremony as she went directly to the head seat. Xi Jun sat on her right while Mo Wuji sat on her left. After the three of them settled down, people started streaming into the hall. Even though Mo Wuji had a low cultivation level and was acting dumb, he could tell that every single one who entered were not of low cultivation and everyone was much stronger than himself. In less than half an incense worth of time, the average sized clan meeting hall was filled up. "Little miss, we have yet to decide on the eventual manor lord so shouldn''t that seat be left empty first?" After everyone was seated, someone stood up to comment. The one speaking was a beardless elder and what he meant to say was that Xi Nianmo shouldn''t be sitting on that seat for now. Chapter 885: You Shall Be The Last To Die Chapter 885: You Shall Be The Last To Die Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xi Nianmo stood up as she took out a green token to slap it on the stone table in front of her, "This is the Lightning Sword Manor Lord¡¯s token left behind by my father. Could it be that even this token is not allowed to sit here?" Without waiting for the beardless elder to speak, a youthful looking middle aged man stood up. "Nianmo, that seat is yours so there is no harm in you sitting on it." Xi Nianmo heard this sentence and instantly bowed towards this middle aged man with slightly reddish eyes as she sat back down. The beardless elder no longer had any objections when he heard the words of the middle aged man. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at how difficult this must have been for Xi Nianmo. There was finally someone willing to speak out for her. Moreover, this middle aged man didn¡¯t seem to be any weaker than Xi Baren. Xi Baren stood up and said with a clear and concise voice, "A few months ago, little miss Nianmo left the Lightning Sword Manor and the manor had no manor lord in charge for that period of time. That was the reason why we chose Xi Sui to be our temporary Manor Lord¡­" The middle aged man, who spoke for Xi Nianmo earlier on, replied, "Elder Baren, Xi Sui is merely chosen to deal with the few guests in the Lightning Sword Manor for that period of time. He shouldn¡¯t be considered as a temporary manor lord." Xi Baren chuckled, "It is no longer important if he could be considered a temporary manor lord or not. Now that little miss has returned, we should elect our new manor lord. Back then when Old Manor Lord left the Lightning Sword Manor, he didn¡¯t indicate his preference on who should be the next manor lord. Fortunately for us, even though Old Manor Lord didn¡¯t return, he left behind two blood related descendant. Nianmo and Xi Sui¡­" "Elder Baren, my father would return sooner or later. You shouldn¡¯t be spouting nonsense about some things." Xi Nianmo¡¯s slightly icy tone interjected Xi Baren¡¯s words. "Fellow elders, little miss Nianmo should be the next manor lord. I¡¯ve let down Sui¡¯Er¡¯s father, I¡­" A weak sounding female voice was heard and before she could even finish her sentence, she started sobbing in front of everyone. Mo Wuji saw the woman speaking and was praising this woman¡¯s beauty in his heart. Not only did she possess an exceptionally gorgeous face, she even had an extremely tender looking skin. Beside this woman was a man and another woman. The man looked young and ugly with a thin and gloomy eyes. The woman had her head lowered and appeared to be pregnant. "Sister-in-law, you wouldn¡¯t need to care about this matter anymore. Regardless, the fact that you could raise young master into an adult in silence was already something difficult." The previous beardless elder sighed as he comforted the sobbing woman. Xi Nianmo was so furious that she started trembling slightly. She knew that this woman had absolutely no relations with her father but she was unable to prove it. Xi Jun, who was seated beside Xi Nianmo, said lividly, "A b*stard like him is also worthy to be the Lightning Sword Manor Lord?" "Who are you calling a b*stard?" The thin eyes youth suddenly stood up in fury. Xi Baren said with a stern face, "Elder Jun, Young Master Sui had been through the Xi Clan¡¯s blood test about a month ago. Results proved that he was indeed Old Manor Lord¡¯s son. Even though both female and male are qualified to be the manor lord of our Lightning Sword Manor, everyone knows that Xi Sui is slightly more apt for the position. I would also prefer Nianmo to be the manor lord but I cannot lie that Xi Sui would be more suitable." Mo Wuji looked blankly at Xi Baren and instantly concluded that it must take some skills to be as horrible a human as Xi Baren was. "Aunt Jun, there¡¯s no need to say anything else. Since this is the case, let¡¯s carry on with the selection of the Manor Lord." Xi Nianmo said with a calm tone but her heart was trembling in fear. This was because she knew that Fan Sui never had her father¡¯s blood but Xi Baren actually said that he was also a blood descendant of the Xi Clan. Even so, Elder Xi Yibo didn¡¯t actually step out to object. This proved that Xi Baren¡¯s test was actually true. "Nianmo, the Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor has to be¡­" Before Xi Baren could continue, Xi Nianmo raised Mo Wuji¡¯s hand as she said, "Let me introduce him to everyone. This is my husband, Mo Wuji, and he would be a member of my Lightning Sword Manor in the future. Because of some reasons, his brain suffered a shock but he is as interested as me in the affairs and well-being of the Lightning Sword Manor." "Nianmo¡­" Hearing that Xi Nianmo actually called Mo Wuji out to be her husband, the youthful looking middle age man with thin eyes could no longer contain his anger anymore. The beardless elder stood up once again, "Nianmo, we can understand your frustrations. You should know that to enter the clan¡¯s meeting hall, one had to bear the rinsing of the clan¡¯s meeting hall lightning pond right? Otherwise, even a blood descendant wouldn¡¯t be qualified to enter this place." "Elder Xi Ti, what do you mean by this?" Xi Nianmo¡¯s face started turning pale. Without mentioning the fact that Mo Wuji had his spiritual roots blackened, he shouldn¡¯t be rinsing himself in the lightning pond even if his spiritual roots were not blackened. So this person was called Xi Ti. Mo Wuji was certain that this beardless elder was working for Fan Sui. Only at this moment did Mo Wuji finally understood what was the purpose of this lightning pond. "What I meant to say is that if one is unable to rinse himself in this lightning pond, he wouldn¡¯t be qualified to be the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Ti said with a cold tone. Mo Wuji had no idea how powerful this lightning pond was but he was certain that he would be able to bear with it. However, he would definitely not step out to say he could rinse himself there at a point like this. "Big Brother Yibo, what are your takes on this?" Xi Jun saw that Xi Nianmo was speechless so her eyes landed back on that youthful looking elder. Xi Yibo said slowly, "Everyone here are members of the Lightning Sword Manor and a few months ago, Xi Sui¡¯s wife was also unable to rinse herself in this lightning pond. Only after she cultivated our Lightning Sword Manor¡¯s cultivation technique, she managed to rinse herself there. Why don¡¯t we let uncle cultivate here in the Lightning Sword Manor for a few months before putting him through the test." "I agree." Xi Baren said immediately. Even the beardless elder, who had been going against Xi Nianmo, nodded as he said, "I agree too. After all, Xi Nianmo is also the daughter of the Manor Lord and should be treated equally." Xi Nianmo¡¯s face turned increasingly pale but she didn¡¯t blame Xi Yibo. Mo Wuji had his spiritual roots destroyed and primordial spirit dissipated and while Xi Baren knew about it, Xi Yibo should be completely unaware of this. If Xi Yino knew about it, he wouldn¡¯t have suggested an idea like this. Xi Yibo saw Xi Nianmo¡¯s pale face and knew that he must have came up with a bad idea. "Many thanks Uncle Yibo. Nianmo have decided to give up on the position of the Manor Lord and leave the Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Nianmo stood up and said this. She initially thought that once she have a husband, there wouldn¡¯t be a problem but things didn¡¯t turn out as what she expected. Mo Wiji hurried to stand up as well because he really couldn¡¯t wait to leave this place too. "Little miss, the Lightning Sword Manor is your home and we really don¡¯t wish to see you leave. Moreover, the God Domain is huge so where will you find¡­" Xi Ti¡¯s voice brought along a trace of sadness. "Many thanks for your concern but you don¡¯t have to worry about where I¡¯m going to," Before Xi Ti could finish, Xi Nianmo interrupted. Xi Baren sighed and said, "Every one of us wouldn¡¯t wish to see little miss leave but if little miss insists, that would be her own freedom. The Old Manor Lord¡¯s Lightning Sword Token is the symbol of our Lightning Sword Manor so little miss must not bring that away." "This is an item left behind by my father and I refused to give it to anyone." Xi Niao said with a slightly pale face and her hand was trembling in fear. "You are wrong. That is not left behind for you but for the Lightning Sword Manor." Yet another elder stood up to comment. "That¡¯s right, the Lightning Sword Token is definitely not your personal item." Within the clan meeting hall, many disciples started to add in their opinions. While Xi Nianmo was still enraged over the Lightning Sword Token, Mo Wuji started to worry. He sensed danger and that if he followed Xi Nianmo out of here, he could very well be killed along with her. "All of you are wrong. Let me tell everyone that the Lightning Sword Token is left specifically for Mo¡¯Er." A hoarse voice with a trace of coldness could be heard throughout the hall and a brown robed man walked in. "Manor Lord?" "Big Brother¡­" A brown robe man walked in and everyone in the clan meeting hall was dumbfounded. Thereafter, everyone stood up in shock. "Father¡­" Xi Nianmo dashed out crying as she threw herself at the brown robe man¡¯s arms. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect that Xi Nianmo¡¯s father Xi Jing would actually appear at a time like this. Regardless, he had made it out of one danger. "Manor Lord, without you in the Lightning Sword Manor, we were like headless chickens," Xi Ti said with a ¡®surprised¡¯ expression but his body movement showed that he was fearful. "Is that so? But it seemed like you¡¯re chasing my daughter away¡­" Xi Jing¡¯s words brought along icy cold energy and once she said that, his hand had already moved. Elder Xi Ti, who was constantly pressing Xi Nianmo earlier on, was smacked into a mist of blood without any strength to fight back. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jumped because the difference in strength was simply horrifying. The Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor was simply outrageously powerful. "Manor Lord, Xi Ti¡­" Xi Baren only said this four words and Xi Jing sent another slap. Xi Baren also had no means of defending himself as he was instantly turned into another mist of blood. Xi Jing continued to say, "Am I deaf? Could I have not heard how you treated my daughter?" After killing two elders, Xi Jing stared coldly at Fan Lin, "Fan Lin, I rescued you many years ago but since when did your son turn into my son? Not only that, you actually tried to chase my daughter out of the Lightning Sword Manor?" Fan Lin¡¯s face turned pale as she said with a trembling voice, "Xi Jing, you swore that you would not hurt me and my son. You promised and are you going to go back on your promise?" Xi Jing¡¯s became even more serious and after keeping silent for a while, he said furiously, "Leave and never let me see the two of you ever again." Fan Lin grabbed the trembling Fan Sui as they hurried out. As for that pregnant woman, both of them didn¡¯t even look back at her. Xi Jing¡¯s killings didn¡¯t stop and everytime he struck out a hand signal, a mist of blood would appear soon after. Everyone in the hall was stunned and no one had any means of defending against it. When the hall was left with half the number of people from the start, Xi Jing stopped his killing as he looked at Mo Wuji, "You are quite daring to actually pretend to be the uncle of my Lightning Sword Manor. You shall be the last to die¡­" Before finishing his sentence, a slap was sent towards Mo Wuji. Chapter 886: The Change In The Manor Chapter 886: The Change In The Manor Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Xi Nianmo never expected that her father would even want to kill Mo Wuji so she stretched out her arm frantically to grab Mo Wuji. Xi Jing only needed a casual slap to kill Mo Wuji so now that his daughter had intervene, he had moderated the amount of energy in his slap. "Boom!" The oppressive elemental energy from the hand whizzed past Mo Wuji¡¯s body and instantly destroyed the stone pillar behind Mo Wuji into pieces. Despite Xi Nianmo¡¯s last minute effort to grab him, Mo Wuji was still caught up by the aftermath of the attack as he spat out a mouthful of blood. When compared to Xi Jing, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even be considered an ant. Mo Wuji was enraged and disappointed. Despite knowing that Xi Jing was going to attack him, he was completely unable to avoid it. If it wasn¡¯t for Xi Nianmo¡¯s intervention, he would have been smashed into pieces already. "Father, please do not kill Mo Wuji for he is innocent. In fact, he had even helped me by coming to the Lightning Sword Manor. If you kill Mo Wuji, I would forever not be at peace and it will definitely harm my dao heart¡­" Xi Nianmo didn¡¯t wait for Xi Jing to act gain as she hurried to explain everything briefly. Xi Jing sized Mo Wuji up before saying, "Since this is the case, Yibo, bring Mo Wuji into one of the immortal residence for closed door cultivation for a period of time to make up for his contributions." Once Xi Jing said that, he threw a token to Xi Yibo. Concurrently, Xi Yibo heard Xi Jing¡¯s transmitted message to him, "Bring Mo Wuji to the place I cultivated and kill him there. Seal up that place and never let Mo¡¯Er find out about this. Also, we are going to leave the Lightning Sword Manor very soon and this place would cease to exist in the future." "Yes," The youthful looking Xi Yibo stood up promptly as he grabbed Mo Wuji and left the clan meeting hall speedily. "Father, his primordial and spiritual roots have been blackened so he wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate at all¡­" As Xi Yibo brought Mo Wuji out, Xi Nianmo finally responded as she exclaimed. Xi Jing sighed, "I have very dense god spiritual energy as well as peak grade god spirit pills and my legacy in my cultivation lab. By leaving him there, it would depend on his fate to see if he could recover and cultivate well." "But¡­" When Xi Nianmo tried to continue, Xi Jing waved his hand to stop her. Following which, Xi Jing said to the rest of the people in the clan meeting hall, "In less than half an incense worth of time that I¡¯ve been back, I¡¯ve heard things that I didn¡¯t wish to hear. There¡¯s a saying that goes: Those who are not from the clan will always have ulterior motive. Xi Baren, Xi Ti, Xi Zhen and co. were all brought back by myself many years ago and had conferred to the surname ¡®Xi¡¯. After my disappearance, all of them suddenly jumped up to take charge. Fortunately, everyone seated here are direct descendants and disciples of my Xi Clan." Everyone in the clan meeting hall remained speechless. Back then, their Manor Lord was already boundlessly strong. After all these years, it seemed like his strength had increased to yet another level. As for those who were killed, they were indeed not from the Xi Clan. Xi Jing¡¯s tone turned solemn, "If possible, I wouldn¡¯t have wish to come back to the Lightning Sword Manor. However, I had to come back because if I don¡¯t, nobody here would survive. I still have my Lightning Sword Manor¡¯s legacy, clan mates and family here which I refused to abandon¡­" Small discussions started within the crowd and Xi Jing waved his hand once more to indicate for everyone to listen, "I am the one responsible for inciting the extermination of our sect which is why all of us must leave the Lightning Sword Manor now. There are too many people here but I wish that after we leave this place, everyone can go on their separate ways to find a sect suitable for yourself. No matter what happened in the future, everyone must remember that your surname is Xi and you came from the Lightning Sword Manor. One day, my Lightning Sword Manor would rise again¡­" "Father¡­" Xi Nianmo was invariably stunned when she heard the words of her father. If no one would survive here and that he wanted to bring everyone away, why did he send Mo Wuji to cultivate in his lab? "Boom!" Just as Xi Nianmo called out for her father, the entire Lightning Sword Manor seemed to have been struck by massive hammer. The trembles felt was incredibly intense. Xi Jing¡¯s expression changed because he didn¡¯t expect these people to arrive so quickly. He initially believed that he had at least half a day more to bring everyone from the Lightning Sword Manor away. At a moment like this, there was nothing he could do as he said anxiously, "Xi Jun, bring everyone to the various defensive array to protect the Lightning Sword Manor. I will reinforce and strengthen the defensive array¡­" ... Xi Yibo was a strong expert himself and after grabbing Mo Wuji, he flew past tens of places before heading downwards. In less than half an incense, Xi Yibo stopped as he struck out a hand sign with the token in space. Soon after, a traceless big gate opened gradually. Xi Yibo grabbed a pill as he sent it down Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth, "Ai, because of the fact that you¡¯ve helped little miss, let me give you a piece of advice. In your next life, pray for better fortune. This was where Manor Lord underwent his secluded cultivation and evidently, it has dense god spiritual energy. It isn¡¯t bad that this will be where you have your long sleep. Consider this a compensation because you helped little miss." After saying that, Xi Yibo immediately threw Mo Wuji into the gate and left in a hurry. The door gradually closed and there was no longer any traces of it on the outside. Mo Wuji fell to the ground but didn¡¯t move. The pill that Xi Yibo gave Mo Wuji was clearly an extremely poisonous pill. The instance the pill entered his mouth, the toxic was instantly felt by the detoxification meridian and swept away in that same instance. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t concerned about the toxic but was concerned about whether he could get out of this place or not. Mo Wuji used the spiritual will of his spirit storage channel to scan the outside and he was able to see where he was. He was in a sealed up space. The god spiritual energy was incredibly dense and there was absolutely nothing in the room. As he sensed that he was not in any danger, Mo Wuji immediately stood up to check for any possible exit. Regardless of how many times Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to check, he wasn¡¯t able to find any exit. This defensive array seemed to be sealed up naturally. Similarly, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t find any monitor array around as he instantly grabbed out array flags to install a concealment restriction and a concealed spirit array. Regardless if there were still monitor arrays which he didn¡¯t manage to spot, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t care less anymore. The fact that he didn¡¯t die after being fed the poison already revealed a major problem. There was no longer any point in concealing anything anymore. What was important was that he should make use of the time to cultivate. This was the first time Mo Wuji cultivate in a place where the laws were complete and the god spiritual energy was so dense. When he used all his force to circulate the Immortal Mortal Technique to absorb the god spiritual energy, his entire body felt like it was immersed in the laws of Heaven and Earth. The god spiritual energy was swept away intensely by Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual circulation and Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation rose incredibly. Additionally, the laws of his sacred arts were constantly being perfected. Initially, Mo Wuji intended to think of a way and leave in another two days. Now that he was completely engrossed in his cultivation, he had forgotten that he should leave this place. ¡­ Mo Wuji had no idea that when he was absorbing the god spiritual energy crazily and increasing his own cultivation level, the Lightning Sword Manor had been blast countless times over. If it wasn¡¯t for Xi Jing¡¯s frightening strength and expertise in array dao, the Lightning Sword Manor would have been utterly destroyed. Even so, the entire Lightning Sword Manor was trembling because of the explosions. "Kacha!" After over 20 days, the Lightning Sword Manor was no longer able to hang on as the array was directly crushed. Just when the array was broken, a dark radiance was shot from outside as it skidded through the air and pierced right through Xi Jing¡¯s chest. Tens of shadows charged in and those disciples not previously killed by Xi Jing had all turned into mists of blood. "Xi Jun, bring Mo¡¯Er away immediately¡­ Mo¡¯Rr, never think about avenging me in the future. Always remember that¡­" Xi Jing said that and instantly dashed into the incoming crowd. ... "Boom!" Mo Wuji felt as though his entire body exploded from within as an incomparable energy flooded his body. Advanced Immortal Emperor Stage, Mo Wuji was so elated he only wanted to shout his lungs out. If he was in the Immortal World, he would probably rely on the accumulation of years to cultivate to the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage. Here, he only used one month and managed to reach it. What Mo Wuji was even more ecstatic about was that his immortal energy had turned into god energy. Despite not seeing what a true god crystal was, Mo Wuji guessed that the green crystals he obtained previously were slabs of the god crystals. Because those green crystals didn¡¯t have complete laws within them, those were unable to help Mo Wuji transform all his elemental energy into god energy. This was the God Domain where the Laws of Heaven and Earth were completed which was why he could easily transform it into god energy. Simultaneously, he had a deeper enlightenment for the laws of his sacred art. Mo Wuji had been in the same place for over a month and nobody came to visit him. This made Mo Wuji wonder if he had been forgotten. Regardless the case, he needed to leave this place as soon as possible. Even though it seemed like Mo Wuji only made a small improvement by entering the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage, Mo Wuji felt like he had taken a huge step forward. The main reason was because he managed to transform all his elemental energy into the mightier god energy. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel to scan the outside as he started deducing the defensive array around this area. Mo Wuji¡¯s array dao had already surpassed the standard of a Grade 9 array master. As for the defensive array he installed for Ping Fan, it should be considered as a Grade 1 god array. Mo Wuji felt that there was no need for him to break this array apart as he only needed to find one exit. Logically speaking, it shouldn¡¯t pose much of a problem. Instead, Mo Wuji was stressed about the fact that even after deducing and studying it for five days, he wasn¡¯t even able to understand the array let alone find any exit. A few more days passed and just as Mo Wuji was wondering if he should continue doing so, the defensive atray suddenly opened without warning. Mo Wiji knew that no matter who or what opened it, it was his only chance of escaping. If he was brought to Xi Jing, he would definitely not survive. At the very moment the defensive array opened, Mo Wuji dashed out and was prepared to shift away. However, when Mo Wuji saw the woman lying outside the defensive array, he stopped. This woman was actually the pregnant woman back in the Lightning Sword Manor clan¡¯s meeting hall. According to Mo Wuji¡¯s deduction, she should be Fan Sui¡¯s wife. "You¡¯ve saved me?" The reason why Mo Wuji stopped was because he saw this woman holding onto a token and this token was the one that opened this array. Chapter 887: Extremely Smart Woman Chapter 887: Extremely Smart Woman Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ah¡­" When the woman saw that Mo Wuji actually walked out of Xi Jing¡¯s secluded lab, she let out an ¡®ah¡¯ as if she didn¡¯t expect to see him. Mo Wuji saw the woman¡¯s shocked look and he knew that this woman didn¡¯t come to save him intentionally. This woman looked much prettier than Xi Nianmo but because of her pregnancy and injury, her face actually looked pale and the energy exuding from her was in complete disorder. "Regardless, many thanks." Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards this woman as he took a step out and extended his spiritual will. Even if Xi Jing didn¡¯t kill this woman, she shouldn¡¯t have been allowed to enter this area? Since this woman was here, there must be something going on. "Hold on¡­" This woman assumed that Mo Wuji was going to leave so she hurried to call out for him. Even without the calling of this woman, Mo Wuji would have waited. His spiritual will sensed that the Lightning Sword Manor had already been turned into ruins and other than a few corpses lying around, this place looked like it had just experienced a massive earthquake. The greenery on the outside of the Lightning Sword Manor had also turned into a piece of desolate land. Everything proved to show that the Lightning Sword Manor had just experienced a calamity. "What happened to the Lightning Sword Manor?" Mo Wuji asked while staring at that woman. This woman¡¯s cultivation level should be higher than his but Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t fearful. "I thought you were¡­" After hearing that Mo Wuji¡¯s words were all direct and straightforward coupled with Mo Wuji¡¯s expression, she knew that Mo Wuji¡¯s previous dazed look was an act. Mo Wuji understood the woman¡¯s surprise look as he said mindfully, "I am indeed not a complete idiot yet but my spirit channels and primordial spirit are truly gone." "I understand now, you¡¯re just like me. The difference is that I¡¯ve been captured by the b*stard Fan Sui and his mother and was ultimately stained by him. I thought that Xi Jing would definitely kill you and I really didn¡¯t expect him to not do so." This woman struggled to get on her feet. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart but kept silent. This woman was simply too accurate in her guess because Xi Jing did order Xi Yibo to kill him. If it wasn¡¯t for his detoxification meridian, he wouldn¡¯t have survived till now. This woman should have accidentally obtained the token to open this array. She must have thought that there might be extremely good treasures or items in the place where Xi Jing cultivated which was why she came over in search for treasures after the incident at the Lightning Sword Manor. "I managed to obtain Xi Yibo¡¯s storage ring coincidentally so I came here in search of healing pills. I certainly didn¡¯t expect to see that you¡¯re fine." The woman appeared like she understood Mo Wuji¡¯s thoughts as she explained herself. She was indeed a smart woman and Mo Wuji really didn¡¯t want to continue interacting with this woman. But because he was indeed rescued by this woman, he said, "Xi Yibo should have been worried that little miss would be upset so he let me live. I never thought that I would survive inside and I didn¡¯t expect you would actually open up this place. You¡¯ve technically saved my life but I¡¯m going to leave now so do you need any help from me?" "I¡¯m severely injured so I simply came to see if there are any healing pills here at Xi Jing¡¯s lab. It seems like there are none of it here," The woman saw that Mo Wuji was not holding on to any storage ring and when she opened the place, there was nothing inside. Evidently, there shouldn¡¯t be anything in that lab. Mo Wuji replied honestly, "Indeed, my storage ring had been snatched by others and there are nothing in here." "Are you able to send me to the Nine Evolutions God Sect? I know I¡¯m putting you in a difficult position but if I don¡¯t go to the Nine Evolutions God Sect, I will definitely die. After being plotted against by Fan Sui and his b*tch mother, the day Fan Sui obtained the throne would be my doomsday. Who knew that Xi Jing actually returned and allowed me to break free from the mother and son," The woman¡¯s tone brought along a trace of desire and expectation. Even though Mo Wuji really wanted to help, he still shook his head and said, "You should know that I¡¯m considerably weak so I would only be able to bring you out of the Lightning Sword Manor. As for the Nine Evolutions God Sect, I¡¯ve never even heard of it let alone the experience to bring you there." The woman could sense that Mo Wuji was willing to help but simply didn¡¯t know the route so she hurried to say, "Senior Brother Mo, the Nine Evolutions God Sect could be considered a big sect in the God Domain. My master is the Mountain Lord of the Nine Evolutions God Sect so if you¡¯re willing to bring me back, I¡¯m confident I can let you join the Nine Evolutions God Sect. "But I don¡¯t even have any primordial spirit left ah," Mo Wuji asked questionably. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seem to understand her intentions. The woman noticed that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t seem to understand her intentions so she explained, "Senior Brother Mo, it would be very dangerous for you to remain alone in the God Domain while your primordial spirit and spiritual roots are destroyed and that you can¡¯t cultivate. I can guarantee your spot as an outer disciple of the Nine Evolutions God Sect. An outer disciple at my sect would already have a place to stay as well as some cultivation resources. Even if you could no longer cultivate, you could at least have a family and career and live a peaceful life there. Of course, when we reached the sect, I suggest that you would pretend like how you did at the Lightning Sword Manor. Act dumb and dazed so nobody would treat you as an opponent and you wouldn¡¯t offend anyone." Mo Wuji¡¯s was tempted because he was not familiar with the God Domain. If he could find a sect to cover and cultivate on his own, it might not be a bad thing. As for this woman¡¯s shrewdness and cleverness, what has it got to do with him? Once he reached the sect, he would merely be an outer disciple and wouldn¡¯t come in contact with her life anymore. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji clasped his fists, "I agree but I¡¯ve yet to ask for Senior Sister¡¯s name. Senior Sister is far more powerful than me so please call me junior brother instead of senior brother." The woman replied excitedly, "Alright, Junior Brother Mo. My name is Liu Ruting and my master, Xiang Weiyang, is the Mountain Lord of the Lilac Mountain of the Nine Evolutions God Sect. The Lightning Sword Manor¡¯s Lord, Xi Jing, had offended a tremendously powerful enemy and about a month ago when Xi Jing sent you here, the enemies came chasing after him here. Besides Xi Nianmo, everyone in the entire Lightning Sword Manor should have perished." "Xi Nianmo isn¡¯t dead?" Mo Wuji was truthfully very thankful for Xi Nianmo. Xi Nianmo brought him out of the Buried God Valley and even saved him from Xi Jing¡¯s hands. Whether or not it was intentional, Mo Wuji would always remember these acts of hers. "Yes, she¡¯s here too. When I used the talisman my father gave to me to conceal myself, I saw Xi Jun using a similar treasure to conceal her energy¡­" Liu Ruting replied. Mo Wuji said apologetically, "Senior Sister Liu, you should know that Xi Nianmo saved my life. Therefore, I hope that you would tell me if you know where she is. I really hope I can save her this time around." Liu Ruting smiled, "Junior Brother Mo, I have already intended to rescue her from the onstart. Without her ring, we would really not be able to return to the Nine Evolutions God Sect." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because this woman really had everything planned out well. Mo Wuji really wondered how a scheming and smart woman like her would fall into the hands of Fan Sui and his mother. To think that she actually lost her virginity and became pregnant because of this too. Xi Nianmo¡¯s hiding spot wasn¡¯t very far off Mo Wuji¡¯s position and with Liu Ruting leading the way, Mo Wuji quickly found a spot beside a broken stone tablet. "Right inside this stone tablet," Liu Ruting pointed at the stone tablet as she said that. With her injuries, she even found it difficult to walk around so she would definitely not have the capability to open the stone tablet. Despite not being a cultivator of the God World, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t considered weak. After all, he was in the advanced Immortal Emperor Stage and in fact, an extraordinary advanced Immortal Emperor. Under Liu Ruting¡¯s guidance, Mo Wuji broke the stone tablet easily. Just like what Liu Ruting said, Xi Nianmo appeared in front of Mo Wuji with her eyes shut. Xi Nianmo¡¯s body was filled with blood and her energy was scattered. Liu Ruting took the initiative to knead Xi Nianmo¡¯s forehead and moments later, Xi Nianmo opened her eyes. When she saw Liu Ruting and Mo Wuji, she jumped up in joy. Xi Nianmo appeared as though she suddenly recalled what happened as she asked frantically, "Where¡¯s my father?" Liu Ruting sighed, "Everyone in the entire Lightning Sword Manor and perished and only the three of us remain. I am from the Nine Evolutions God Sect and if Senior Sister Xi is willing to follow us, we can go to the Nine Evolutions God Sect together. I have no god crystal on me at all so I would need Senior Sister Xi to pay for the road funds first. When we reached the Nine Evolutions God Sect, I guarantee that Senior Sister Xi would be able to join the Nine Evolutions God Sect." Xi Nianmo revealed a despair look but she didn¡¯t cry or waste time spouting any nonsense. She simply stood up and bowed towards Liu Ruting, "I don¡¯t even have a home now so it is my fortune that Senior Sister Liu is willing to take me with you. As for Senior Sister Liu calling me ¡®Senior Sister¡¯, I really don¡¯t deserve it. While she spoke, she had already prepared an empty storage ring to store all the god crystals inside for Liu Ruting. After experiencing many things, Xi Nianmo had understood how to continue living. Moreover, before she lost her consciousness, she personally witnessed her father being struck several times. Liu Ruting handed the storage ring back to Xi Nianmo, "Nianmo, you shall keep the storage ring to yourself. You only need to hand over the crystals when we are required to pay for the fees of the flying ship or transfer arrays." "Alright," Xi Nianmo nodded as she kept the storage ring. From the start till the end, she didn¡¯t question how Mo Wuji was able to survive or how he made it here. It could be because she knew that Mo Wuji was not mentally sound to answer her questions. Chapter 888: You Are A Peak Grade Talent Chapter 888: You Are A Peak Grade Talent Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ten days later, Mo Wuji realised how egotistical and laughable his decision to bring Liu Ruting back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect was. Within these ten days, the three of them would have to pay a large amount of god crystals everytime they took a transfer array. He personally witnessed how Xi Nianmo had to fork out piles and piles of god crystals. If Liu Ruting didn¡¯t make use of Xi Nianmo¡¯s wealth, Mo Wuji would definitely not be able to bring her back to the Nine Evolutions God Sect. While he moved from places to places, he noticed that whether it was at the transfer station or the great cities here, earning god crystals wasn¡¯t an easy task. Even a person who sets up a stall to sell god spiritual herbs to earn money for the use of the transfer arrays, would need years and years of saving up to do so. In this short period of time, he could forget about earning enough god crystals to bring Liu Ruting back. He would perhaps earn by selling his consciousness crystals but Mo Wuji knew that if he were to see consciousness crystals here, he might be attacked by those who yearn for the crystals. This shouldn¡¯t be considered as sending Liu Ruting back as this was basically taking advantage of both Liu Ruting and Xi Nianmo. It was as if Liu Ruting and Xi Nianmo were the ones bringing to the Nine Evolutions God Sect. Mo Wuji had always wanted to ask Liu Ruting as to why she would want to bring him along. This was because there was really no need for her to bring him along as Xi Nianmo alone should be enough to send her back. Eventually, he couldn¡¯t control his urge anymore. Firstly, he was supposed to be a dumb and dazed person in front of Xi Nianmo. Secondly, he believed that a thoughtful and scheming person like Liu Ruting wouldn¡¯t have done meaningless things and help him unnecessarily. Since she brought him along, she must be up to something. A few more days had flown by and the increasingly pale faced Liu Ruting arrived at a massive plaze carved from entirely white jade alone. Even though the plaza was incredibly huge, it was still crowded with people everywhere. Mo Wuji noticed that everyone in the plaza seemed to be testing for something. Everyone were queuing up and there were more than one line of people queuing. Liu Ruting shot out a flying sword and a few breaths later, a person landed right in front of the three of them. "Senior Sister Ruting, what happened to you?" The young man in purple robe asked and one could tell that he was very good looking. His tone brought along a sincere worry. Liu Ruting was breathless as she replied, "Junior Brother Xingteng, the two of them managed to send me back. Help me arrange a place inside the sect for them and preferably make them an outer disciple. There are some problems with my body so I shall go see master now¡­" "Rest assure Senior Sister, I would definitely make the necessary arrangements," The purple robe man answered with a confident smile on his face. "Many thanks Junior Brother Xingteng," Liu Ruting thanked him once more as she turned to Mo Wuji and Xi Nianmo, "Thank you for sending me back but I shall go and see my master first. I¡¯ll be back to thank you properly." After saying this, Liu Ruting hurried away and disappeared completely very soon later. After Liu Ruting left, the smile on the purple robe man had disappeared as well. He nodded towards Mo Wuji and Xi Nianmo, "My name is Lu Xingteng and I¡¯m full of admiration for my Senior Sister Liu. Any matters of my Senior Sister Liu would be a matter of mine. The two of you endured all sorts of hardship to bring my senior sister back so please let me know of any requests you have." Mo Wuji started to have a bad sensing about this. Just earlier on, Liu Ruting already instructed Lu Xingteng to make both himself and Xi Nianmo an outer disciple. What was the meaning of Lu Xingteng¡¯s words now? Clearly, Xi Nianmo was able to spot something amiss but instead of asking directly, she pointed to the crowd in the middle of the plaza and said, "Senior Brother Lu, what are all these people gathered here for?" Lu Xingteng said faintly, "A few big sects would be selecting and recruiting disciples over the next few days and everyone there are promising disciples. In fact, even my Nine Evolutions God Sect is here too. If the two of you came a few days earlier, I might be able to make the two of you an odd job disciple. Now that the sects are recruiting disciples, everybody on the namelist would be closely examined." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sunk because now that he couldn¡¯t even get an odd job disciple status, what was he even doing here? At the same time, Mo Wuji understood that this was actually not where the Nine Evolutions God Sect was located at. Xi Nianmo hurried to bow, "Senior Brother Lu, I¡¯m fine with it and I shall try my luck later. However, my junior brother here was injured and is currently unable to speak properly. I wonder if Senior Brother Lu could help¡­" Without waiting for Xi Nianmo to finish her sentence, Lu Xingteng replied, "It is definitely possible. The two of you just hang around here while I go and ask around. If I find something, I would come to meet the two of you as soon as possible." Having said that, Lu Xingteng couldn¡¯t even be bothered to clasp his fists as he simply turned and disappeared into the crowd of people. Mo Wuji knew that this fella would definitely not head back anymore. "Mo Wuji, this person didn¡¯t even ask for what help I wanted with or any means of contacting him. I¡¯m guessing that he wouldn¡¯t be coming back at all. I¡¯m prepared to go take a look at the sects here and see if I¡¯m able to join any. You should follow beside me and if I manage to enter a sect, I¡¯ll bring you along." Xi Nianmo exclaimed. She even suspected that Liu Ruting never intended to help them and only deceived them into sending her back. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel that Liu Ruting didn¡¯t want to help and his guess was that after seeing Liu Ruting with a baby in her stomach, Lu Xingteng had lost the previous respect he had for Liu Ruting. Regardless, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to follow behind Xi Nianmo. "I am your husband so how can I simply depend on you¡­" Because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to have any more relations with Xi Nianmo, he was hoping that they would part ways after Xi Nianmo heard what he said. When Xi Nianmo heard that Mo Wuji was still mentioning about being her husband, she hurried to block Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth with her hand, "Mo Wuji, stop spouting rubbish¡­" The few men and women who walked past the two of them started chuckling to themselves. After the few of them passed by, Xi Nianmo heaved a huge sigh of relief, "Mo Wuji, our previous relationship is fake. From now onwards, you¡¯re Mo Wuji and I¡¯m Xi Nianmo. We are no longer related, understand?" Mo Wuji let out an ¡®oh¡¯ before repeating the phrase ¡®we¡¯re no longer related¡¯ as he turned and left. "Hold on¡­" Seeing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t actually rebut, Xi Nianmo heaved another sigh of relief but called out for the departing Mo Wuji. "You still want me to be your husband?" Mo Wuji stopped and looked at Xi Nianmo with a doubtful face. Xi Nianmo held onto her forehead speechlessly, "No, you should stick with me but you¡¯re not my husband. Can you remember that?" If Mo Wuji¡¯s brain wasn¡¯t damaged, she would have let Mo Wuji left alone a long time ago. Mo Wuji was also feeling helpless because he could simply tell Liu Ruting that even though his primordial spirit and spiritual roots were destroyed, his consciousness and IQ were still there. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to tell her directly because Xi Nianmo knew that he had taken a Perplex Spiritual Pill. A person who was still conscious and not affected by the Perplex Spiritual Pill was definitely not normal. Xi Nianmo might not harm him but Mo Wuji still felt the need to be cautious since they were not that familiar after all. "By letting me stay by your side, that would make me your husband ah," Mo Wuji frowned and made Xi Nianmo¡¯s words sound silly. Xi Nianmo was utterly defeated by Mo Wuji but she couldn¡¯t bear herself to blame Mo Wuji. Instead, she maintained silent. "I shall head off first then," Mo Wuji chuckled as he turned and left without hesitation. "Mo Wuji, this is for you then," Xi Nianmo didn¡¯t wish to continue insisting that Mo Wuji stay beside her as she took out a storage ring. However, as she took out her storage ring, she thought about it for a moment before putting it back. This time around, she took out a storage bag for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji knew that Xi Nianmo wasn¡¯t being stingy but because she was worried that others might steal his items. In the God Domain, a person carrying a storage bag would simply mean that the person was from a poverty-stricken family. Nobody would bother robbing a person carrying a storage bag. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind as he took over the storage bag before leaving without even saying goodbye. As she watched upon Mo Wuji¡¯s backview enter the crowd of people, Xi Nianmo muttured to herself, "I hope that you would stay safe." After that, she turned and left on her own. The entire Lightning Sword Manor was exterminated and everyone she was close to was killed in front of her. She was simply unable to forget any of this hatred within her. Regardless of whatever reason, now that she was the only one left in the Xi Clan. She had to avenge her father, Aunt Jun, Yibo, Qianhua and co. ¡­ After Xi Nianmo left, Mo Wuji also squeezed into the crowd. At least Lu Xingteng wasn¡¯t lying about one matter and that was all the big sects were indeed recruiting disciples here. A row of signboards recruiting disciples were displayed out as if it was a human talent market. Forgotten Creek Dao School, Phecda God Sect, Godly Grain Valley, Moonlight God Sect, Refined Star God Sect, Heavenly Turbid God Sect... All sorts of big sects could be found here and other than Phecda God Sect and Nine Evolutions God Sect, Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t heard of any of the others. He could only judge which sect were the bigger sects by the popularity among the disciples here. Mo Wuji looked through the sects seriously and for peak grade sects like the Phecda God Sect and Nine Evolutions God Sect, there were basically many people surrounding them. Their tests were clearly more stringent than the rest and only those who had reached a certain standard would be able to participate in the next round of tests. This made Mo Wuji feel helpless and frustrated because he knew that if he were to go for the tests, he would be one of the weakest there. How was he supposed to test if he didn¡¯t have primordial spirit or spiritual roots? Mo Wuji wandered around for half a day and he spotted an extremely unique sect called the Heavenly Mortal Sect. This sect made Mo Wuji think about his own Ping Fan. The Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t appear to be a large sect and there were at most seven to eight people standing around it. In fact, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even see a single person signing up for it. The ones recruiting disciple was a man and a woman. While the man looked like an elder, who had one foot in his coffin, the woman looked incredibly young compared to him. Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before walking over eventually. Before he even asked anything, that elder stared at Mo Wuji with wide opened eyes, "Your bones look incredible and should even be considered peak grade. The only weakness is that you lack a peak grade technique to temper and that your talent had been concealed so nobody could actually see it. Oh my, I cannot believe I, Wei Jie, actually managed to find a talent like you here. Are you willing to join my Heavenly Mortal Sect? I guarantee that you will be an inner disciple here with peak grade cultivation resources to work with." The elder named Wei Jie started getting more and more excited as he spoke and eventually, he even grabbed onto Mo Wuji. His eyes were filled with desperate wish that Mo Wuji would join him. Mo Wuji was shook because this elder was actually able to see that he was a peak grade talent even without any tests? Could his self-created Mortal Dao be discovered by this person? Wouldn¡¯t this be simply too scary? Chapter 889: Heavenly Mortal Sect Chapter 889: Heavenly Mortal Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s first thought was to reject his offer immediately. His cultivation of the Immortal Mortal Technique and the opening of meridians were few of the most concealed secrets of his. Once such a matter was exposed, it could invite calamity upon himself. At second thought, Mo Wuji felt that he shouldn¡¯t reject him. Since this person was able to tell that Mo Wuji was this heaven-defying and managed to path the way for mortals to cultivate, he might be the target for others if he left this place. "Answer me quickly! Are you willing to become an inner disciple of my Heavenly Mortal Sect?" The elder starting speaking with an anxious tone. Mo Wuji asked cautiously, "Does my spiritual roots or anything have to be tested later on?" Wei Jie¡¯s stared at Mo Wuji with a frown, "How could I, Wei Jie, misjudge a person? There is absolutely no need to undergo any tests. I am certain that you¡¯re a genius with supreme talent." Mo Wuji heard these words and said, "Alright then¡­" When Wei Jie heard Mo Wuji¡¯s verbal agreement, he instantly brought Mo Wuji to the young woman as he said, "This is an inner disciple of our Heavenly Mortal Sect, hand him the items meant for inner disciples¡­" Mo Wuji was slightly shocked because he didn¡¯t feel particularly respected. After hearing that he was willing to join the Heavenly Mortal Sect, what kind of attitude was this? Was this how the Heavenly Mortal Sect treats their genius with supreme talent? When he thought of this, Mo Wuji already guessed that the other party shouldn¡¯t have guessed that he started as a mortal. In other words, he was duped. The reason why he was duped was because he knew that he was indeed able to cultivate at a much greater speed than those ¡®geniuses¡¯ out there. The words of the old falsifier were true which was what led to the misunderstanding. If he didn¡¯t cultivate the mortal dao, he would have found out the old falsifier was lying to him from the very first sentence. Knowing that the other party was lying to him, Mo Wuji actually felt relieved. He rather the old falsifier duped him than have his mortal dao exposed. "What is your name? How is your cultivation?" The woman in charge of administration for the Heavenly Mortal Sect said with a very clear and gentle voice. Just as Mo Wuji was about to answer, he heard Wei Jie¡¯s excited voice again, "Aiya, you are definitely one of the most talented cultivators around here. Your bones are truly too amazing¡­ The pity is that your talent and spiritual roots have been concealed so nobody would notice it. As long as you come to my Heavenly Mortal Sect, I guarantee that you will be an inner disciple here. No, even a status as the legacy disciple wouldn¡¯t suit a talent like you¡­" Mo Wuji turned his head and saw Wei Jie grabbed onto another ordinary cultivator as he chattered on and on. Looking at how that old falsifier was acting, Mo Wuji almost spat out a mouthful of blood despite already knowing that he was duped. There were actually people like this old falsifier in the God Domain and the joke¡¯s on him that he actually thought that he was exposed. At this moment, there was a scene playing in Mo Wuji¡¯s head where an old fella held onto all sorts of martial arts cheat books as he grabbed onto a child to say something like, ¡®Aiya, I see that your bones are innately different and extraordinary compared to others. I have a book which could expand your potential so the peace of the entire universe would be dependent on you in the future¡­" However, not everyone would be duped like Mo Wuji was. The person Wei Jie held onto instantly rejected him, "I don¡¯t wish to join the Heavenly Mortal Sect." Wei Jie could only let go of his hand awkwardly, "What a pity, what a pity¡­ A body of good bones is wasted." Noticing that Mo Wuji didn¡¯t speak, the woman asked once more and Mo Wuji could only sigh and reply, "My name is Mo Wuji and I have a very low cultivation. Moreover, my primordial spirit and spiritual roots have been broken so I¡¯m afraid that I¡­" "Its okay, you can rest assure and join our Heavenly Mortal Sect. Our Heavenly Mortal Sect is capable of turning the most ordinary people into extraordinary beings. Naturally, since your primordial spirit and spiritual roots are broken, you can only be an inner disciple¡­" Wei Jie turned around when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words. However, before he could even complete his sentence, he seemed to have spotted another genius with supreme bones as he chased after that person. Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Senior Sister, I am still able to join the inner sect even with my primordial spirit and spiritual roots destroyed?" The woman nodded, "Yes if Elder Wei Jie says its possible then its possible." "I agree then but how do I address this senior sister?" Mo Wuji replied without hesitation. The outer disciples of the Nine Evolutions God Sect have their individual place to stay so even if the inner sects of the Heavenly Mortal Sect was slightly weaker, it shouldn¡¯t be too huge of a difference from the outer disciples of the Nine Evolutions God Sect right? "My name is Su Xia and this is your token as an inner disciple. Wait here for a while and after the recruitment of disciples is completed, we shall head back to the sect together." Su Xia gave Mo Wuji a token which was actually made from wood. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because even in the Cultivation World, disciples¡¯ token were mostly made of jade. Regardless, it was still a good thing that he became an inner disciple just like that. Mo Wuji walked over to the resting area of the Heavenly Mortal Sect and there were already four disciples seated there. They should be recruited before Mo Wuji was brought in. "Junior Brother here, how are an inner disciple?" Noticing that Mo Wuji walked over with an inner disciple token, a slightly tanned woman questioned. Mo Wuji returned the question, "Are the few of you not inner disciples?" "I am a legacy disciple," The woman took out her wooden token. "I am a core disciple." "I am also a legacy disciple¡­" After the four of them displayed their tokens, Mo Wuji realised that he was the only inner disciple there. He was ¡®supremely talented¡¯ but was only offered a slot as an inner disciple. Fortunately, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too bothered by it as he laughed it off, "It is still better than being an inner disciple." The four people heard Mo Wuji before exchanging glances with each other while remaining speechless. After a while, the tanned skin woman said softly, "The Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t have any outer disciples as they only accept direct disciples, core disciples, legacy disciples and inner disciples." As he heard this, Mo Wuji stared at the old falsifier, Wei Jie, who was still trying to pull cultivators desperately. He suddenly felt uneasy about this fella. Everyone else could tell that Mo Wuji was not feeling very pleased so they tried to mollify him. Luckily, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too disturbed by it for long and very soon, he made friends with these few senior brothers and sisters. The tanned skin woman was called Yin Lin, the brown hair one was called Pu Jia, slightly fatter senior sister was called Ai Dong¡¯Er and the tallest one was called Di Butong. The four of them were rogue cultivators and was also hoping to use this recruitment period to join a sect. Even though the four of them were limited in their cultivation potential, they were already in the pinnacle of the Nascent God Stage. Without mentioning the difficulty in finding a god lattice crystal, even if they could find a few, they might not be able to step into the Heavenly God Stage with their talent. Because they had average talents, the four of them decided to join this Heavenly Mortal Sect after making a round around the plaza. It was perhaps because Mo Wuji looked the poorest as he was only carrying a storage bag, the few of them conversed while paying special attention to Mo Wuji¡¯s feelings. ¡­ Another three days had passed by and the recruitment had finally ended. Despite the hard work of Wei Jie, he only managed to recruit one more disciple after Mo Wuji. It was a female cultivator who didn¡¯t look too old and could even be considered a small girl. The girl¡¯s name was a little odd as her name was Ku Cai [1]. Mo Wuji was not aware of her cultivation level but he saw that she was hesitating outside the registrations of other sects for a long period of time. She looked like she didn¡¯t dare to ask more about it. Only when she walked past the Heavenly Mortal Sect, the talkative Wei Jie played his old tricks and managed to trick this girl into the Heavenly Mortal Sect easily. Wei Jie walked in front of Mo Wuji and co. before waving his head, "All of you are the future of my Heavenly Mortal Sect. Follow me back to the sect and we shall reveal every last bit of your talent and potential." Having said that, Wei Jie drew out a flying ship. Because this plaza was located right outside a transfer array hall, all the disciples of the other sects left through the transfer arrays. Wei Jie was probably the one who drew out the flying ship. "Why aren¡¯t we taking the transfer array?" The one asking the question was Yin Lin. Out of all the disciples recruited by the Heavenly Mortal Sect today, she was comparatively the more lively one. Wei Jie chuckled, "The few of you have just joined the sect so you have yet to cultivate any peak grade dao laws sacred art. If anything happened within the transfer array, there might be disorder within the space which would be life-threatening in any sense. All of you are the future of my Heavenly Mortal Sect so I didn¡¯t dare to take the risk." Once he said that, Wei Jie rushed everyone into the ship as he controlled his flying ship out of the plaza. After entering the ship¡¯s cabin, Su Xia spoke to everyone in a soft voice. "Don¡¯t take Senior Uncle Wei Jie¡¯s words too seriously because the transfer array is actually much safer than flying ship. Our Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t have enough god crystals to send everyone through the transfer arrays. This was why we had to travel using flying ship." The few of them became speechless because if a sect couldn¡¯t even afford enough god crystals to take transfer arrays, how long could this sect even last? In a way, everyone wasn¡¯t particularly disappointed because everyone knew that with their poor talent as compared to others, there weren¡¯t many other sects which they could join. Other than the normally quiet Ku Cai and Mo Wuji himself, the rest of them were conversing rather enthusiastically. Even though Wei Jie¡¯s flying ship was of a higher grade than Mo Wuji¡¯s one, the space within it was simply too small. Mo Wuji wanted to find a secluded place to cultivate but was unable to do so which was why he was forced to listen to their conversations. The good thing was that through these people¡¯s conversations, he managed to obtain even more information regarding the god domain. A month later, the flying ship stopped. After everyone left the flying ship, they were all stunned. The flying ship stopped on a dried up swamp and if this dried up swamp was the plaza, behind the plaza would be two extremely tall and erected mountains. The two mountains had three majestic words hung between it which was shrouded in fog, "Heavenly Mortal Sect". Just looking at these two mountains, there was still an imposing aura about the Heavenly Mortal Sect. However, with the addition of the dried up swamp and the surrounding, one could tell how wretched the Heavenly Mortal Sect truly was. Without mentioning about how thin the layer of god spiritual energy the surrounding had, even the periphery of the Lightning Sword Manor had much denser god spiritual energy than this place. Even if he were to look at the two mountains, Mo Wuji had honestly rarely seen any sect in the Cultivation World with only two mountains. Even the poorest sect had at least nine mountains right? Most sects would even have up to thousands of mountains belonging to themselves. This was truly Mo Wuji¡¯s first time seeing a sect with only two mountains. "How is it? Our Heavenly Mortal Sect is very imposing right? Let¡¯s go, follow me into the sect," Wei Jie kept the flying ship as he introduced it loftily before walking forward. He didn¡¯t even notice that all the recruited disciples except Ku Cai had a disappointed expression on their faces. [1]: Ku Cai is the hanyupinyin of bitter vegetables; which was why Mo Wuji found the name slightly odd. Chapter 890: The Odd God Spiritual Energy Chapter 890: The Odd God Spiritual Energy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations From the outside, the Heavenly Mortal Sect looked as though they only had two mountains and nothing else. However, after Mo Wuji entered the sect itself, he could sense how extraordinary this sect used to be. After entering the defensive array, a few metres wide green jade stairs extended to the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the summit were all sorts of immortal residences and rest houses built on it. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that these were the only two mountains around, this sect would definitely have the aura of a powerful sect. The only point that wasn¡¯t coordinated was the slightly dilapidated green jade stairs. Moreover, the god spiritual energy here was extremely sparse to the point that was even worse than an ordinary city of the Cultivation World. There was a true plaza at the foot of the mountain and in the centre of the plaza was a towering statue. The statue looked slightly broken as if it had been through endless of hardships. "Mo Wuji, the eyes of this statue looked slightly like yours," Yin Lin suddenly mentioned. Mo Wuji had already noticed the pair of eyes on this statue and indeed felt that it looked like his. Before Mo Wuji could speak, a middle-aged man in grey robe had already brought four people as they walked speedily down the green jade stairs. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t tell this middle-aged man but he could feel the tremendous strength of this man. In fact, Mo Wuji suspected that he might be even stronger than Xi Jing. "Wei Jie (Su Xia) greets the Sect Head!" Wei Jie and Su Xia, who were leading the way, hurried to bow to show their respect as they saw this middle-aged man walking down. Mo Wuji and co. were shocked because they didn¡¯t expect the sect head to be out here to welcome the few newcomers like themselves. Wasn¡¯t such a thing unseen or unheard of since ancient times? The middle-aged man laughed out loud as he hurried to take a few more steps forward to hold Wei Jie back up. "It must have been tough of Elder Wei Jie and Su Xia to be recruiting disciples this time around." Wei Jie replied with a guilty face. "I¡¯ve let Sect Head down because I¡¯ve only managed to find six new disciples this time around." The middle-aged man said. "Elder Wei Jie, as compared to the previous few attempts where we didn¡¯t even manage to recruit a single disciple, six is much better than nothing." "This is the sect head of our Heavenly Mortal Sect. Why are the few of you still standing around and not greeting our Sect Head?" Wei Jie turned and shouted at Mo Wuji and co." Mo Wuji followed the rest of the disciples as everyone bowed in sync. The middle-aged man waved his hand as he said with a bright smile on his face. "My name is Shi Su and I am the Sect Head of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. These people beside me are the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Elder Pang Fengban, Elder Xu Yi, Elder Hui Yu and Elder Niu Zhitian respectively. In the Heavenly Mortal Sect, we''re one big family. Therefore, if you have any questions regarding cultivation, you are free to ask any of us." "Many thanks, Sect Head!" Even though Mo Wuji and co. had no idea what was going on, they harmonized their gratitude perfectly. To welcome the few newly recruited disciples, the sect head brought the elders down to greet them. Additionally, he even mentioned that they could ask any of the elders and sect head himself if they had any questions in the future. This was simply a treatment received by the number one disciples of a sect. "Su Xia, I have to trouble you to help arrange the residences of these newly recruited disciples before briefing them about some matters of the sect. Elder Wei Jie, you¡¯ve worked hard this time around. Do head towards the sect¡¯s Cultivation Holyland to cultivate for half a year." Shi Su was still smiling and it almost felt like he was incredibly ecstatic to have recruited six new disciples. "Many thanks, Sect Head." Wei Jie smiled as he hurried straight up the green jade stairs and disappeared right before the sect head¡¯s eyes. Mo Wuji was slightly speechless because this sect head really didn¡¯t feel like the sect head while the elders didn¡¯t feel like elders of any other sects. He started to wonder if he was actually kidnapped by these random people. Could it be that these fellas were like Zhu Yin, who liked to swallow cultivator¡¯s primordial spirit and soul to cultivate? However, the few of them were unwanted disciples so even if the sect swallowed their primordial spirits, it shouldn¡¯t be much of a use or benefit to them. After Sect Head Shi Su left with the few elders, Mo Wuji whispered, "Senior Sister Su Xia, how many members are in our sect?" Ever since they arrived here, Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t really seen anyone else except the sect head and the few elders he brought along. "Including the few of you, I believe we should be reaching about 100 members now." Su Xia replied with a smile. Mo Wuji and co. were instantly at loss for words. How wretched must a sect be to have less than a hundred members? Su Xia knew how everyone felt upon hearing that so she didn¡¯t continue to say anything else. The truth was that when she first joined the Heavenly Mortal Sect, she felt even worse than Mo Wuji and co. presently. Back then, the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t even have 50 members. Over the years, they managed to increase by multiples of tens. If she were to compare it with the past, the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s progress was actually pretty decent. "Sister Su Xia, the Heavenly Mortal Sect does look very imposing and I¡¯m certain that it must have been a huge sect in the past. How did it fall to a state like today¡¯s? Yin Lin disrupted the awkward silence in the air. Su Xia explained, "I¡¯ve heard that the Heavenly Mortal Sect used to be one of the peak grade sects. In fact, it was even greater than Phecda God Sect as well as the Forgotten Creek Dao School. For some unknown reason, a change occurred and amidst the change, the Heavenly Mortal Sect suffered tremendous losses and almost our entire army fell. The many mountains of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were eventually shifted away by others. Fortunately, Ancestor Pang Jie survived and even though he was only an outer disciple, he was extremely capable. He single-handedly prevented the complete extermination of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Our current sect head was indeed Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s direct disciple. Elder Pang Fengban was also the descendant of Ancestor Pang Jie. Also, there''s a reason why the god spiritual energy here was so sparse and almost nobody was willing to come here. That was due to the fact that many of our god spiritual veins had been extracted out by others after that massive war." Regardless of how incredible Su Xia described the Heavenly Mortal Sect was in the past, they could only describe the current Heavenly Mortal Sect as down and out. What made Mo Wuji feel slightly better was that even though the immortal residences weren¡¯t very luxurious, they were pretty impressive. After entering the sect, everyone realised something. Despite the fact that Mo Wuji was accepted as an inner disciple, all disciples here were treated equally. Not only did Mo Wuji get assigned to an immortal residence in good condition, there was even a herbal field for him. As for the important Scriptures Library, Assignment Hall, Technique Transference Hall and etc, the Heavenly Mortal Sect had neither of them. Whether you were a direct disciple or inner disciple, you wouldn¡¯t need to complete assignments. Naturally, there wouldn¡¯t be any pills or technique for you to collect. It felt like Mo Wuji and co. were recruited into the Heavenly Mortal Sect only to increase their numbers. Mo Wuji asked around and he found out that the Heavenly Mortal Sect allowed their members to leave the mountains at will. This meant to say that they could leave the sect¡¯s territory anytime as long as they didn¡¯t quit the sect permanently. This made Mo Wuji heaved a huge sigh of relief. Because of the sparse god spiritual energy here at the Heavenly Mortal Sect, Mo Wuji had just moved into his immortal residence but Yin Lin and co. had already come looking for him. They were asking if he wanted to leave the sect to look for cultivation resources with them. While the immortal residences here at the Heavenly Mortal Sect was really impressive, they came here to cultivate and not to stay at the residence. Since they couldn¡¯t cultivate here, heading out to find cultivation resources to cultivate was what they needed to do. Mo Wuji rejected Yin Lin and co.¡¯s suggestion because he still had some immortal veins and green crystals on him. He decided to step into the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage first before thinking of a way to become a Nascent God. Unless he stepped into the Nascent God Stage, he wouldn¡¯t leave this place. This was the God Domain where the laws of Heaven and Earth were much greater than the Immortal World. Mo Wuji believed that even with the lack of abundant cultivation resources, he would be able to advance into the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. The greatest benefit in the Heavenly Mortal Sect was the freedom Mo Wuji had. He installed a few defensive arrays and concealment arrays around his immortal residence. This was his preparation to enter secluded cultivation. He cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique which required all 108 meridians to circulate spiritual energy simultaneously. Even if the god spiritual energy here was sparse, his cultivation would still cause a great commotion. He really didn¡¯t want anyone to find out about his cultivation secret so he chose to install a series of different arrays around his immortal residence. As for spirit gathering array, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother installing any. He believed that due to the sparse god spiritual energy here, it wouldn¡¯t matter whether he installed it or not. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t start by taking out the immortal crystals and immortal spiritual veins. He intended to try cultivating to see how sparse was the level of god spiritual energy here. When Mo Wuji started forming circulations with his 108 meridians, he was completely dumbfounded. A frightening amount of god spiritual energy appeared as though it emerged out of thin air. It surged towards his meridians before fusing with all 108 circulations. The extent of cultivation here was definitely more than ten folds greater than when he cultivated at the Lightning Sword Manor. Mo Wuji was so astonished that he stopped cultivating. The frightening rate of god spiritual energy absorption was simply beyond his wildest imaginations. When he stopped cultivating, the god spiritual energy seemed like it suddenly disappeared. Following that, the god spiritual energy in the entire space around him turned sparse again. Could it be because of his own Immortal Mortal Technique, he could absorb the dense god spiritual energy which others couldn¡¯t even see or feel? If this was true, he would have truly found the right place and Mo Wuji was understandably very excited. Fortunately, he was also a sect head of a sect and was well experienced. When he finally calmed himself down, he started to install more defensive arrays again. Multiple spirit concealment arrays were installed as he was worried that his absorption of god spiritual energy would be so immense that others would notice. The second time Mo Wuji started cultivating, he was much more cautious. No matter how cautious he was, Mo Wuji entered the state of indulgence very quickly after he started cultivating under such circumstances. ¡­ This was already the seventh month Mo Wuji started his secluded cultivation. In the sect head¡¯s hall of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, Sect Head Shi Su sat down. Other than the four elders who followed him the previous time, Wei Jie, Su Xia and the other disciples which Mo Wuji and co. had not seen before were all seated in the hall. "While everyone else is under closed doors cultivation, I¡¯ve invited everyone here because there are some matters which my Heavenly Mortal Sect is unable to avoid." Shi Su said with a lack of energy. "Sect Head, please go ahead and tell us. Even though our Heavenly Mortal Sect is down and out, we wouldn¡¯t be exterminated as long as there are still members here." Wei Jie said so convincingly he was only lacking the act of the patting of his chest. Shi Su nodded, "Su Xia, how are the six disciples who had most recently joined us?" Su Xia stood up hurriedly, "Yin Lin and Di Butong had just returned to the sect and I¡¯ve heard that Pu Jia got into an accident. Ever since Mo Wuji arrived at the sect, he had been behind closed doors. Ku Cai didn¡¯t go into seclusion and she appeared slightly eccentric as if she had no idea what she should be doing." Chapter 891: Stepping into Nascent God Stage Chapter 891: Stepping into Nascent God Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Bring them over then," Shi Su ordered. "Roger that!" Su Xia bowed and backed out of the hall. The seated Wei Jie started feeling uneasy about this matter. He somehow knew that this was related to the incubation of the God Domain Nest. The God Domain was vast and boundless but the laws were extremely stable. There was never once when the domain was unstable and in fact, it even kept expanding. The area which expanded out from the God Domain was called the God Domain Nest. Every time the area expanded outwards, there would be a unique name tagged to it called the God Domain Nest incubation. Once the God Domain Nest underwent incubation, countless peak grade treasures would appear. Other than the massive amount of ores and peak grade god spiritual herbs piled up like mountains, there were even all sorts of heaven-splitting treasures. Every time the God Domain Nest incubated, it would be during times of bloodied war in the God Domain. It was also considered the feast of experts here. Because the God Domain Nest constantly incubated, the surface area of the God Domain kept expanding continually. Experts in the God Domain believed that the God Domain was an incomplete world domain. Once the world domain had formed up completely, the God Domain would be even more stable and the laws would be even stronger. The only problem was that everytime the God Domain incubated, countless peak grade experts would perish. Moreover, it would make the strong grow even stronger and weak become even weaker. This wasn¡¯t something beneficial to the God Domain. Later on, the ten great God Kings of the God Domain gathered as they came to a consensus. Their decision was that everytime the God Domain incubated, everyone in the God Domain would have the opportunity to partake in the collection of treasures. It wouldn¡¯t be an individual participation but by their sect. The participation qualification would be decided from the battles between disciples of the various sects. After all, the battle between experts would always result in severe injuries and incite more violence between sects. Therefore, the ten great God Kings decided to hand the battles to the disciples of sects. Those participating in the fight must not be above the Heavenly God Stage. Once you¡¯ve surpassed the Heavenly God Stage and reached the God Monarch Stage, you would already be considered a victor. A person like this would not be allowed to participate in the fight between disciples. Everytime the incubation occurred, there would be a specific warning sign and time before it. This time around, all the various sects were already made known of it. This was also the reason why a few months ago, all the sects started to recruit more disciples. They wanted to prepare themselves for the battle for the God Domain Nest. The Heavenly Mortal Sect had never intended to participate in such battles. Whether it was the sect head or the disciples, none of them felt that they should take part in such battles. But, this time around, the ten great God Kings announced an additional rule. It stated that every sect in the God Domain must participate in the fight for the God Domain Nest. As for the reason, the Heavenly Mortal Sect wasn¡¯t qualified enough to know. Because he knew of all these beforehand, Wei Jie felt uneasy. Only he knew how he recruited the six new disciples. Instead of saying recruited, the word ¡®duped¡¯ would be more appropriate. Now that the sect head asked Su Xia to bring the newly recruited disciples here, it was certainly to test their aptitudes and abilities. Once he tested them, everything would be exposed. Some of the newly recruited disciples were still of decent cultivation level. Only Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was a spectacle too horrible to endure. ¡­ Having cultivated for over half a year, Mo Wuji was completely unaware of how long he had been in seclusion. The more he cultivated, the more confident he grew. Four months ago, he had already managed to enter the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. Even at the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage, he was still able to increase his cultivation rapidly. At a moment like this, Mo Wuji would definitely not want to leave his seclusion unless someone used a magic treasure to attack him. Mo Wuji was continually enlightening more laws and the laws of his sacred arts had started to change gradually. This was already the seventh month since Mo Wuji stepped into the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. Mo Wuji was constantly absorbing an insane amount of god spiritual energy to increase his cultivation level while perfecting the laws of his sacred art. "Boom!" An alarm that sounded like exploding lightnings sounded within Mo Wuji¡¯s will. Presently, Mo Wuji felt different as though his entire body was emptied. If someone from the outside were to look at Mo Wuji now, he would be able to see that Mo Wuji had infinite laws of dao flickering and revolving around his body. Concurrently, the energy around Mo Wuji was continuously on the rise and he was certainly exuding a mighty aura. These laws of dao were continually entering Mo Wuji¡¯s body and his aura would disappear together with the laws of dao. In other words, he was becoming more ordinary by the minute. "Kacha!" Mo Wuji¡¯s original laws of his sacred arts started to break apart while the new dao laws of his sacred arts started to form up. An incomparable mightiness surged up Mo Wuji¡¯s mind and he suddenly opened his eyes excitedly. Initially, he was intending to look for resources which could aid his cultivation towards the Nascent God Stage after reaching the Great Circle of the Immortal Emperor Stage. What he didn¡¯t expect was that under the laws of the God Domain, he actually started to gain enlightenment on a new set of laws of Heaven and Earth. The brand new set of laws made him reluctant to give up as he continued to cultivate and perfected his own Grand Dao Laws. On the seventh month, he managed to break out of the Immortal Emperor shackles naturally as he took a step into the first level of the Nascent God Stage. In his Immortal Mortal Technique manual, the term Nascent God was merely an address. Whether it was Nascent God or any other names, he would breakthrough the moment he reached the extreme. Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but felt excited because he knew clearly what the Nascent God Stage meant for him. What Immortal Emperor, what Dao Emperor, what Half-Sage¡­ these were all imaginary. These were terms for cultivators, who couldn¡¯t progress any further, to comfort themselves with. His current Nascent God Stage, was certainly a legitimate stage and was definitely not an exaggeration. After advancing into the Nascent God Stage, Mo Wuji wanted to halt his cultivation to leave his seclusion to take a look outside. However, as he stepped into the Nascent God Stage, immensely dense god spiritual energy swept over and he could no longer bear to leave. As his Immortal Mortal Technique was in full force, god spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth started enveloping him. Mo Wuji felt as though he had opened up a magical pandora box and was incredibly difficult to stop himself from cultivating at an insane rate. ... On the other mountain at the Heavenly Mortal Sect, a skinny middle-aged man had his eyes shut. If it wasn¡¯t for the slight fluctuations in the energy around him, others might be convinced that he was a dead man. At the instance Mo Wuji broke through the Immortal Emperor Stage and stepped into the Nascent God Stage, the skinny man opened his eyes abruptly. He raised his head to take a look shockingly before shutting his eyes again. At this moment, he could actually feel a sudden emergence of dense god spiritual energy around the Heavenly Mortal Sect, where god spiritual energy had dried up for many years now. Not only was the god spiritual energy pure, it contained infinitely perfect laws of Heaven and Earth. He personally witnessed how the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s god spiritual veins and god mountains were extracted away by others. He was well aware of why the god spiritual energy was sparse here. The only reason why he didn¡¯t leave the Heavenly Mortal Sect was because this was his root. Even if he was about to perish, he had to perish while protecting his own sect. He was the sect head of the previous generation¡¯s Heavenly Mortal Sect, Pang Jie. The god spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth started to grow even denser and the laws were also becoming clearer by the minute. Pang Jie got excited as he had been stuck at level 9 of the Worldly God Stage for countless years. He wasn¡¯t able to step into the God King Stage because he lacked a peak grade cultivation area with dense god spiritual energy as well as perfect and clear laws of Heaven and Earth. At this moment, what he was lacking for many years was presented right in front of him. Regardless of where this energy came from, Pang Jie couldn¡¯t help but to start cultivating. Once he cultivated the Heavenly Mortal Technique, dense spiritual energy started forming circulations around his body. His Grand Dao was started to perfect itself using the clear laws of Heaven and Earth presented to him. "Boom boom boom!" A series of wild explosions were heard from above Pang Jie¡¯s head. Pang Jie was neither depressed nor elated as he completely cleansed his decayed energy swiftly. His life force got increasingly exuberant, sacred art laws started clearing up and his primordial spirit became increasingly resounding. ¡­ Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s hall was where Su Xia brought three disciples in. Standing in the center of the hall, Su Xia bowed. "Sect Head, except Junior Brother Mo Wuji who was still in seclusion, Yin Lin, Di Butong and Ku Cai are all here." "Greetings Sect Head, greetings elders," Yin Lin and co. hurried to bow to everyone in the hall. Shi Su looked doubtfully at Su Xia as he spoke. "The god spiritual energy here is so sparse so why is Mo Wuji cultivating behind closed doors for so long?" Su Xia replied hurriedly. "I believe that it is because Junior Brother Mo has a low cultivation level to begin with. Therefore, even the sparse god spiritual energy here should be of some benefits to him." "Yes, that Mo Wuji¡¯s talent is only average so I merely made him an inner disciple," Wei Jie decided to settle one at a time. He shall use the excuse that Mo Wuji had the worst talent among the rest of them first. Later on, he would continue finding excuses for the other disciples. Shi Su didn¡¯t mind the words of Su Xia because he already knew that Wei Jie wouldn¡¯t be able to recruit extremely talented disciples. He looked at the other three disciples. "All of you are disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect so you have to be confident and there¡¯s no need for you to worry. Come, the three of you shall go and test out your aptitude." A white jade magic treasure for the test was already installed in the middle of the hall. To test for aptitude in the God World, one simply needed to sit on this tester before cultivating at full force. Noticing that Di Butong and Ku Cai were slightly astonished, the usually optimistic Yin Lin took the initiative. "Let me go first." Having said that, she immediately sat on the white jade magic treasure and started cultivating. Even though cultivators in the Cultivation World, Immortal World or God World called it spiritual roots, the essence of it would be different. After cultivators from the Cultivation World ascended into the Immortal World, their spiritual roots would turn into immortal spiritual roots. After reaching the God Domain, their spiritual roots would turn into god spiritual roots. Even though many cultivators had peak grade spiritual roots in the Cultivation World, not all of them would have peak grade immortal spiritual roots. If the transformation of the spiritual roots to immortal spiritual roots weren¡¯t complete, they would be considered as cultivators with average immortal spiritual roots. Naturally, those whose spiritual roots were transformed well would have greater aptitude in the next world. Presently, there were about nine pillars as thick as an infant hand surrounding the white magic treasure. The middle pillar was black in colour while the remaining eight pillars were clear. The black pillar in the middle was used to test for spiritual roots. The more complete the transformation of spiritual roots were, the black pillar would turn into pure white colour. If the transformation wasn¡¯t complete, the white would have some grey and the greater the grey, the more incomplete the transformation was. The eight pillars on the side were used to test for the attributes of the spiritual roots. After Yin Lin sat down to start cultivating, the black pillar in the middle turned white. Very soon after, there was more grey colour induced within the white. Shi Su sighed but didn¡¯t say anything. Yin Lin¡¯s spiritual roots transformation was evidently not complete. With her level of aptitude, it was no wonder she would choose to join the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Chapter 892: Battle of Grand Dao Chapter 892: Battle of Grand Dao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yin Lin always knew that her spiritual roots were not of good quality. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have hovered around the Nascent God Stage for so many years. This was why she wasn¡¯t particularly disappointed when she saw the result of her test. After Yin Lin came down, Di Butong went forward to take his seat. His spiritual roots were similar to Yin Lin¡¯s and even if some were to consider his to be slightly better than Yin Lin, the difference was really only marginal. The middle black pillar turned white and then similarly, many grey coloured marks were induced within it. Shi Su sighed and despite knowing that Wei Jie wasn¡¯t able to recruit talented disciples, he still felt disappointed at how poor their aptitudes were. He was no longer able to conceal his disappointment. After Di Butong came down from the tester, Shi Su turned to the shy Ku Cai. "Come and have yourself tested." Su Xia was aware of Ku Cai¡¯s character so when she saw that Ku Cai didn¡¯t dare to step forward, she grabbed onto Ku Cai¡¯s hand. "Junior Sister Ku Cai, the sect head is just like our family member and you are part of that family when you arrived here. Go and have yourself tested, you don¡¯t have to worry about the result." Ku Cai answered with a soft ¡®en¡¯ as she walked towards the magic treasure before cultivating. A dazzling white light exploded from the black pillar and on the surface, it looked like a black cloth covered it. It suddenly became pure white colour and this white colour was even emitting faint radiance. The eight other pillars were also pure white in colour. As compared to the white on the previously black pillar, the white colour on the eight pillars was evidently lacking a sort of dao spirituality. Shi Su stepped forward excitedly as he almost wanted to grab Ku Cai. "This is the stainless spiritual root¡­" An elder muttered to himself and even his hand was trembling. In the God Domain, there were all sorts of spiritual roots. There were many varieties of peak grade spiritual roots but the stainless roots were definitely the greatest peak grade spiritual roots. When tested using the magic treasure, any peak grade spiritual roots would reveal some faint traces of grey. Naturally, some of the insignificant grey traces would be neglected most of the time. Where there was not even a single shadow of grey and was even emitting faint radiance, only one type of spiritual roots matched Ku Cai¡¯s ones. It was the stainless spiritual roots. No matter how the stainless spiritual roots came about, it wouldn¡¯t change. For example, a cultivator in the Immortal World with stainless spiritual roots would continue having the stainless spiritual roots in the God World. Only a minute few people in the entire world would have such unchangeable spirit roots. "Elder Wei Jie, thank you, thank you¡­" Shi Su grabbed onto the astonished looking Wei Jie and was beyond thankful. Cultivators with stainless spiritual roots might not even exist in peak grade sects in the God World. Any sect with disciples carrying the stainless spiritual roots would definitely be the number one disciple of the sect; the person that the sect would be fully focused on to nurture. In other words, if the other sects found out about Ku Cai¡¯s stainless spiritual roots, she would be the target everyone fights for. While Wei Jie was preparing an excuse for himself, he didn¡¯t expect that he actually found a disciple with the stainless spiritual roots. He came back to his senses as he said seriously, "To bring Ku Cai back to the sect, I¡¯ve tried many methods. Fortunately, it all turned out well for us." "Something¡¯s not right, take a look at her spiritual roots attribute¡­" Elder Xu Yi exclaimed out a sudden. Even without Elder Xu Yi¡¯s exclaim, everyone¡¯s eyes landed on the eight purely white coloured pillars. These eight pure white pillars actually turned into black coloured and one of them was even blue in colour. "What is going on? What attribute does the black colour refer to?" Everyone exchanged glances with each other as they were completely dumbfounded at the sight of the black colour. They were aware that the blue colour indicates the presence of lightning attribute spiritual roots. If Ku Cai¡¯s test didn¡¯t reveal the black colour and only blue, the entire Heavenly Mortal Sect would be jumping in joy. Now that the attributes showed black, everyone started feeling uneasy. "I know why it is black in colour." Pang Fengban stood up abruptly. Not only was he an elder of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he was also the descendant of Pang Jie. "Elder Pang, what is going on?" Shi Su asked anxiously as he was the most concerned. With a talent like Ku Cai in the Heavenly Mortal Sect, they would most likely be able to regain its past glory. Pang Fengban answered, "Back then, my grandfather told me that in the ancient times, cultivators only had two types of spiritual roots." "There should be eight types of spiritual roots, how could it be only two?" A few of the elders commented simultaneously. Even though there were questions, nobody suspected Pang Fengban¡¯s words. This was because he was indeed the grandson of the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Pang Jie. Pang Jie was only an outer disciple back then but if it wasn¡¯t for Pang Jie, the Heavenly Mortal Sect would have disappeared into the books of history. Pang Fengban continued, "It is also right to say that there are eight types because there are indeed eight types in the God Domain now. In the ancient times, there were only two types of spiritual roots namely the light and dark spiritual roots. Among which, the light spiritual roots were divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning and ice while the dark spiritual roots remained as only dark. According to this explanation, there should be nine types of spiritual roots inclusive of the dark spiritual roots. "Elder Pang, are you saying that Ku Cai¡¯s spiritual roots are a mixture of both dark and lightning?" Shi Su asked shockingly. Pang Fengban nodded, "Indeed, because that middle pillar definitely proved that she had dark spiritual roots. The only thing that is troubling me is that I¡¯ve heard that dark spiritual roots shouldn¡¯t coexist with other spiritual roots, let alone lightning spiritual roots." "But we¡¯ve never heard of any dark spiritual roots before?" Elder Xu Yi frowned and while his cultivation was not high, he was quite experienced. Given the number of years he had stayed in the God Domain, he should have heard of at least one example of a dark spiritual roots right? Pang Fengban explained, "My grandfather told me before that dark spiritual roots exist within the vast universe and shouldn¡¯t be on the same plane as our God Domain. This meant to say that in the plane where we are on, there aren¡¯t any dark spiritual roots. Ku Cai has dark spiritual roots so the only explanation would be that she didn¡¯t come from the same plane as we did." "Alien cultivator?" Everyone exchanged even more frightened looks. If there was still an existence in the God Domain which everyone was afraid of and wished to kill, it would be alien cultivators. Whether cultivators ascended from the Immortal World, Magic World, Demon World or any other worlds, everyone were still cultivators of the same plane. For cultivator of the same plane, even with the grading of worlds, those who cultivated to the limit before ascending would have the same system in them. Ever since a long time ago, all the planes in the God Domain were named as the Seven World Planes. However, whether you¡¯re in the God Domain or a world beneath the God Domain, everyone would still be on the same plane. There were no comparisons to be made so nobody bothered to find out what their planes were called. Alien cultivators were different as they didn¡¯t come from any one of the Seven World Planes. They came from a totally different plane where their system of cultivation, laws of sacred arts were all different. In other words, their understanding of their Grand Dao was completely different from everyone else. There was once when an alien cultivator arrived at the Seven World Planes and appeared in the God Domain. After finding out that the cultivation system was completely different from his understanding, he developed an idea to establish his own cultivation system here in the Seven World Planes. Naturally, no cultivators in the Seven World Planes would accept an idea like this. Eventually, there was a heaven trembling war called the Battle of Grand Dao. Rumours spread that after that war, there were more than millions of God Kings of our God Domain perished. Presently, the entire God Domain didn¡¯t even have a hundred God Kings. Try thinking what would signify of our future when those millions of God Kings perished back then? Fortunately, the experts of the Seven World Planes managed to strip all the power of this alien cultivator before slaughtering him. Even so, the God Domain failed to produce many God Kings even after so many years. After that incident, alien cultivators became the taboo of the God Domain. One could imagine how perilous the situation would be if another alien cultivator were to appear on the Seven World Planes. Today, an alien cultivator appeared in the Heavenly Mortal Sect. What were the chances the Heavenly Mortal Sect could continue existing? Everyone started thinking the same way: Kill Ku Cai. As long as Ku Cai was dead, the appearance of Ku Cai in their sect would never be exposed. Shi Su was incredibly stressed out. The Heavenly Mortal Sect finally had a supreme talent but they had no other choice except to kill her. This was simply¡­ Everyone felt the need to kill Ku Cai but nobody was willing to voice out this idea; Nobody would be willing to do it as well. There were not many people in the Heavenly Mortal Sect and even though the god spiritual energy here was sparse, everyone led a peaceful life. This was because everyone in the Heavenly Mortal Sect believed that once we entered the sect, everyone would be part of a big family. Just as everyone had no idea on what to do about Ku Cai, intense sounds of thunders could be heard from outside the sect. Shi Su heard the sounds and shouted angrily, "My Heavenly Mortal Sect was indeed down and out and we will not head out to fight for anything. However, to treat my Heavenly Mortal Sect as an existence to trample your foot on, we would defend our pride until the very end even if we were to perish." Having said that, Shi Su¡¯s body flashed and he had darted out of the sect¡¯s hall. The remaining elders rushed out one after the other because everyone knew what the Sect Head was fuming about. Someone actually dared to undergo lightning tribulation here at their Heavenly Mortal Sect. This was simply unacceptable. Yin Lin looked at Ku Cai, who was still cultivating and sighed. She had heard of the story of alien cultivators and as much as she wanted to help Ku Cai, there was almost nothing she could do. Chapter 893: Ku Cai’s Plead Chapter 893: Ku Cai¡¯s Plead Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji felt mightily comfortable in the Nascent God Stage Level 1. He desperately wanted to fight another expert in the Nascent God Stage to test the limits of his new strength. Besides this, he also wanted to test his various sacred arts. After his laws had strengthened, the powers of his sacred arts must have improved significantly as well. At this moment, exploding thunders could be heard from outside. The explosion was so deafening and there were fluctuations in the laws of Heaven and Earth. Evidently, someone was undergoing his tribulation here and this fella must be pretty strong. Mo Wuji even suspected that this person was so strong that Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even hold a candle to him. After entering the Nascent God Stage, Mo Wuji¡¯s rate of cultivation had slowed down. Now that someone was actually undergoing a tribulation in the Heavenly Mortal Sect, Mo Wuji no longer had any motivation to continue cultivating. Once Mo Wuji packed his items, he kept the array flags before opening up the defensive array. Before Mo Wuji even walked out of his small garden, a skinny silhouette darted towards him. "Junior Sister Ku Cai?" Mo Wuji looked curiously at the incoming small girl. Ku Cai looked as though she lacked nutrition because her hair was not only sparse, they were slightly yellow too. In the Heavenly Mortal Sect, Mo Wuji only had seniority over Ku Cai. Out of the six disciples which Wei Jie recruited, the first four were Mo Wuji¡¯s senior sisters and brothers. Only Ku Cai was younger than him and also the last to be recruited which was why she could be considered as Mo Wuji¡¯s junior sister. "Senior Brother Wuji, save me." Ku Cai knelt on the floor immediately after pleading. Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at Ku Cai because if Ku Cai¡¯s life was in danger, his life would also be in danger. If this was true, how was he supposed to help Ku Cai? Furthermore, not only was the god spiritual energy here in the Heavenly Mortal Sect sparse, the people around were also very loving. Nobody would actually bully Ku Cai right? As he took a step to think about this possibility, Mo Wuji realised that Ku Cai wouldn¡¯t come pleading him even if someone was bullying her. From the very beginning, he didn¡¯t even share a conversation with Ku Cai before. In other words, the two of them were not familiar with each other so why would Ku Cai plead for his help? "Stand up and tell me what had happened?" Mo Wuji lifted his head to look at the dark clouds overhead. Someone was really undergoing his tribulation here. Ku Cai didn¡¯t say anything as she said while tears rolled down her cheeks. "The Sect Head wants to kill me¡­" Mo Wuji was shocked because if the Sect Head wanted to kill Ku Cai for whatever reason, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t be able to save Ku Cai. Moreover, the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Sect Head Shi Su looked lenient and understanding so why would he want to kill an ant-like disciple like Ku Cai? ¡­ "It¡¯s my grandfather! My grandfather didn¡¯t perish¡­" As they dashed out of the sect, everyone saw the cultivator undergoing the tribulation in the dried up swamp. Pang Fengban was the one shouting in great excitement. "It¡¯s master¡­" Shi Su was equally as excited and emotional. Everyone in the Heavenly Mortal Sect couldn¡¯t help themselves as all their eyes turned red. All the elders knew Pang Jie because he was Pang Fengban¡¯s grandfather and also because he was the greatest savior of the sect. He contributed the most to prevent the Heavenly Mortal Sect from extermination. Despite not bringing the Heavenly Mortal Sect back into its glory days, preventing complete extermination of the sect was an extremely important contribution. The reason why Pang Jie was unable to bring the Heavenly Mortal Sect back to its glory days was not that he was incapable but because he wasn¡¯t strong enough. Back then, Pang Jie was only in the Heavenly God Stage Level 9. It was already an incredible achievement for a mere Heavenly God Stage Level 9 expert to salvage the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s foundation. His success in holding onto to the sect¡¯s foundation came entirely because of his own wisdom, courage and some luck. When the god spiritual veins of the Heavenly Mortal Sect had been extracted away, the sect was equivalent to being wasted. Pang Jie wasn¡¯t completely dispirited because of that as he grabbed a few survivors of the Heavenly Mortal Sect back. They were cultivating crazily while thinking of ways to rebuild the Heavenly Mortal Sect. The Heavenly Mortal Sect wasn¡¯t rebuilt but it wasn¡¯t completely gone as well. However, Pang Jie stumbled upon an opportunity and managed to step into the God Monarch Stage. This wasn¡¯t the end because after pacing back and forth in the God Monarch Stage for over 100 thousand years, he actually stepped into the Worldly God Stage. 100 thousand years from the God Monarch Stage to the Worldly God Stage was considered fast even for a core disciple. However, Pang Jie was merely an outer disciple. The pity was that even after stepping into the Worldly God Stage, he still wasn¡¯t considered as a powerful figure in the God Domain. The only good thing was that as a Worldly God, he finally had his own confidence. Afterwards, no matter how hard Pang Jie worked, he was still stuck in the Worldly God Stage. Perhaps knowing that he would no longer be able to step into the God King Stage, he left the sect to his disciple Shi Su before he left and never appeared again. Everyone in the sect including Shi Su and Pang Fengban believed that Pang Jie had perished a long time ago. Who would have expected that not only did Pang Jie not perish, he returned to the sect and even started his tribulation here... How could anyone not get excited and emotional? Many years ago, Ancestor Pang Jie was in the Worldly God Stage. Now that he was undergoing a tribulation, he would be a God King after this. How many sects in the God Domain had a God King with them? In the God Domain, there were far too many sects with Worldly Gods in them. However, only those renowned sects had the existence of a God King in them. The difference between the God King Stage and the Worldly God Stage was like a watershed. Who knew how many Worldly Gods have spent countless years and still failed to enter the ranks of a God King? "God King, God King¡­" Shi Su muttered to himself. My Heavenly Mortal Sect finally has a God King. With a God King, we would be a peak grade sect or rather, it would be hard for us not to become a peak grade sect. All the elders were incomparably excited and even the newly recruited Yin Lin and Di Butong couldn¡¯t contain their excitement. If people knew that there was a God King in the Heavenly Mortal Sect, people would want to join the sect even if the god spiritual energy here was sparse. Not for any other reason but because there was a God King here. The thunders continued to sound as the lightning bolts landed continually. Pang Jie constantly used his magic treasure to defend himself from the wrath of the lightning bolts. The energy around his body was becoming incredibly unstable as if it was about to break through a new shackle. An insane lightning tribulation like this had eventually attracted a crowd of cultivators over. In just half a day, the periphery of the dried up swamp outside the Heavenly Mortal Sect was filled with spectators. A lot of cultivators even sat down to start gaining enlightenment from the changes in laws of Heaven and Earth induced from Pang Jie¡¯s tribulation. Shi Su and co. noticed the crowd of experts around the swamp and started becoming anxious. But because they were simply too weak, they weren¡¯t qualified enough to ask these people to leave. At this moment, they knew they should sit down and gain enlightenment from the fluctuations in laws of Heaven and Earth induced by Ancestor Pang Jie. However, they didn¡¯t have the mood to do so. ¡­ Mo Wuji heard the entire story from Ku Cai including the words of Pang Fengban. He was equally shocked that there was this story about alien cultivators. Moreover, he had also never heard about the dark spiritual roots before. "Junior Sister Ku Cai, why did you thought of coming to me for help?" After a while, Mo Wuji questioned Ku Cai. Ku Cai was stunned by Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Why did she ask Mo Wuji for help? She didn¡¯t even know Mo Wuji personally and Mo Wuji was the only inner disciple among all of them who were recruited this time around. The rest of them were at least recruited as a legacy disciple. However, who else could she find if she didn¡¯t find Mo Wuji? Out of the six newly recruited disciples, two hadn¡¯t returned and no one knew if they were still alive. If Yin Lin and Di Butong wanted to help her, they would have talked to her. Other than Mo Wuji, she really had no one else to seek help from. Mo Wuji understood Ku Cai¡¯s thoughts as he grabbed onto the kneeling Ku Cai. He was equally as helpless in his heart. "I¡¯m sorry, Senior Brother Wuji," Ku Cai bowed slightly as she turned around gradually. Just because she spoke less didn¡¯t mean that she was a fool. She knew most of the things around her but was only unwilling to express her thoughts openly. She was slightly regretful that she didn¡¯t listen to the words of her father. Her father once told her that she must not join any other sect or have her spiritual roots tested. After cultivating to a bottleneck and was eventually unable to step into the Nascent God Stage, she really couldn¡¯t control herself anymore. When she heard the news that many sects were recruiting disciples, she thought about it for a long time. When the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Wei Jie grabbed onto her, she couldn¡¯t help herself but join the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "What is the technique you cultivate with?" Mo Wuji suddenly asked. "I cultivate the Laws of Darkness Technique and I regret not listening to my father¡¯s words." Ku Cai replied sobbingly. Mo Wuji was a master of cultivation technique and was the forefather of the Mortal Dao. His level of understanding wasn¡¯t something Ku Cai could compare with but after hearing Ku Cai¡¯s words, his heart moved. "Junior Sister Ku Cai, could you show me your cultivation technique?" Ku Cai came to a halt as she looked doubtfully at Mo Wuji. After a few breaths worth of time, she nodded, "Yes I can." Having said that, she handed Mo Wuji a crystal ball which she retrieved from her storage ring. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will entered the crystal ball and a boundless darkness surged over. Under a darkness like this, everything disappeared. It felt like if even the strongest magic treasure would disappear if it ever landed in this darkness. A type of soul trembling dao spirituality revolved around Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath as he started circulating his Immortal Mortal Technique. The dao revelation meridian fused with this crystal ball very soon after. A completely different world of laws appeared in front of Mo Wuji. The extensive laws of dao spirituality made Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help himself as he took in yet another deep breath of cold air. Following which, sentence after sentence of mnemonic chants and dao spirituality of Grand Dao started appearing in his sea of consciousness ineffably¡­ Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue wandering in this Laws of Darkness crystal ball. Even though his cultivation level was low, he was a legitimate progenitor as he founded the Mortal Dao. He was much more capable than average cultivators in terms of the use of the laws of Heaven and Earth as well as some other dao laws. Handing the crystal ball back to Ku Cai, Mo Wuji said, "Junior Sister Ku Cai, you said that the God Domain didn¡¯t have any darkness attributed spiritual roots right? If there were no dark spiritual roots, it would likely mean that there are no dark attribute laws of Heaven and Earth here in the God Domain. Since there are none of such laws of Heaven and Earth here, you wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the Nascent God Stage no matter how you cultivate. In order words, you would be unable to breakthrough to the Nascent God Stage regardless of which sect you joined and however high your aptitude was." This wasn¡¯t rubbish made up by Mo Wuji because after coming into contact with Ku Cai¡¯s crystal ball, he really did sense that there were no dark laws of Heaven and Earth here. Even though there was darkness, it was completely different from dark laws of Heaven and Earth. "Ah¡­" Ku Cai was slightly shocked as she even forgot to take over the crystal ball. Without the dark laws, it would signify that as long as she was on this plane, she would never be able to break into the Nascent God Stage. Chapter 894: Heavenly Mortal Sect’s God King Chapter 894: Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s God King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji suddenly said, "Didn¡¯t you say you also have lightning attribute spiritual roots? Why didn¡¯t you cultivate the lightning attribute technique?" Ku Cai shook her head dejectedly, "It is not that I didn¡¯t wish to cultivate but because my father only left me with this technique crystal ball. My father told me that the lightning attribute technique is far too expensive. The higher the grade, the more expensive it was and some of the great sects didn¡¯t even have such techniques. I have no rights nor qualification to come into contact with such techniques." Having said that, Ku Cai pushed the crystal ball back to Mo Wuji. "Senior Brother Wuji, I am going to be a dead person soon. This was the only item left behind by my father so I shall gift this to you." Mo Wuji subconsciously took over the crystal ball as he was well aware of how incredible this crystal ball was. If he could control the Laws of Darkness and then deduced a Law of Darkness sacred art, his power would be frightening. Earlier, Mo Wuji heard from Ku Cai that Pang Fengban talked about the many God Kings who attacked an alien cultivator and eventually suffered heavy losses. Why did they do so? Just because that alien cultivator¡¯s Laws of Darkness was too strong? He had no relations with the dark spiritual roots and without mentioning the dark spiritual roots, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even any of the eight normal spiritual roots. Wasn¡¯t he still able to cultivate with his Mortal Dao? "My father says that the Laws of Darkness sacred arts are the strongest of them all. Once one could cultivate to the God King Stage, one would be able to be the strongest existence in the entire God World." Ku Cai seemed to have given up on her hope of pleading for help as she calmed herself down. Mo Wuji said slowly, "Ku Cai, this darkness technique crystal ball is of great use to me so you would be helping me greatly by leaving it with me for the time being. How about this? I might not have any lightning attribute technique but I am proficient in lightning sacred arts. If you don¡¯t mind, I can help you deduce a lightning attribute technique made especially for you." Mo Wuji chose to keep this crystal ball with him not just because this crystal ball would be of great use to him. More importantly, Mo Wuji knew that if he left the crystal ball with Ku Cai, it would invite calamity. If experts used their spiritual will to scan through Ku Cai¡¯s storage ring, Ku Cai would no longer have any privacy. Mo Wuji was different because he could place this crystal ball in his Undying World. Unless they kill him and destroy his sea of consciousness, nobody would be aware of his Undying World. "Senior Brother Mo, you are able to deduce technique?" Ku Cai stared shockingly at Mo Wuji. Just because she was an introvert, it didn¡¯t mean that she was clueless. She was well aware as to what kind of people would be able to deduce techniques. Her father, or even her grandfather who barged into the God Domain many years ago, wouldn¡¯t be able to deduce techniques. "If you trust me, I would be able to deduce. However, I wouldn¡¯t be certain of the grade of the technique I deduce." Mo Wuji answered honestly. He was able to deduce the Immortal Mortal Technique, possessed the dao revelation channel and had vast experience with lightning attributes laws. As long as he knew Ku Cai¡¯s spirit channels, he would be able to deduce a lightning technique out for her. The only uncertainty would be the grade of the technique he deduced. "Big Brother Wuji, will your deduced technique allow me to step into the Nascent God Stage?" Ku Cai asked curiously. The way she addressed Mo Wuji seemed to have changed unknowingly. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said confidently, "Don¡¯t worry, I am certain you will be able to step into the Nascent God Stage." Mo Wuji was a Nascent God himself now and while he was uncertain if his technique could allow her to step into the Heavenly God Stage, he was confident that the Nascent God Stage wouldn¡¯t be a problem. "May I ask Big Brother Wuji to help me deduce¡­" Ku Cai only completed half her sentence as she seemed to remember about her own fate. She shook her head and didn¡¯t continue speaking. Mo Wuji commented, "Ku Cai, many years ago, I was in greater danger than you were. However, I still made it out alive didn¡¯t I? If the Sect Head truly wanted to kill you, would you have survived till now? Since he didn¡¯t kill you on the spot, it meant that there was hesitation. If there was hesitation, it meant that you would still have hope. Listen and have faith in my words: If you don¡¯t accept that your fate is predestined, you would still have a hope of living. If you accept that you will die today, you will not have any strands of hope left. Even if you are in front of a dead end, anything could still happen until the very end." Ku Cai lifted her head as she stared convincingly at Mo Wuji, "Big Brother Mo, I shall listen to you." ¡­ "Boom boom! Ka! Ka! Kacha!" The lightning bolts grew denser and thicker. At this very moment, lightning radiance had covered almost the entire dried up swamp outside the Heavenly Mortal Sect. All the elders in the Heavenly Mortal Sect were watching on anxiously. There were plenty of experts who had failed their Worldly God tribulation and eventually perished. "Ka!" Yet another thick lightning bolt landed and everyone at the Heavenly Mortal Sect held their breath. Following which, a mighty and vast energy surged into the sky as this energy instantly oppressed the entire space around the dried up swamp. The lightning bolts subsided as dao spirituality clouds started to clear up. Pang Jie emerged from the subsiding lightning bolts with an increasingly mighty aura. He almost felt like he was going to break through the horizon. Everyone in the Heavenly Mortal Sect including Shi Su fell to their knees and almost everyone had their eyes turned slightly reddish. There was finally a God King in the Heavenly Mortal Sect which signified that the Heavenly Mortal Sect would not remain as obscure as before. "Congratulations Sect Head Pang on realising your God King Dao as you tower majestically above the God Domain¡­" Countless congratulations could be heard. Following that, the dao spirituality clouds above Pang Jie¡¯s head initially disappeared as the energy around his body started to be concealed. The God King energy wasn¡¯t as evident as it was initially. Everyone knew that the God Domain had one additional God King from today onwards. Pang Jie didn¡¯t continue cultivating as he clasped his fists to all the spectating cultivators. "My Heavenly Mortal Sect would be organising a sect reopening ceremony as well as God King ritual 30 days later. All the fellow friends here are welcome to attend this ceremony at my Heavenly Mortal Sect." Even though there were no God Kings among the spectating crowd of cultivators, everyone was well aware that Pang Jie was trying to tidy up the sect. 30 days later, there would be a brand new peak grade sect in the God Domain. The crowd went on to congratulate Pang Jie and also indicated that they would be present 30 days later to attend the ceremony. A few of the experts who had once taken items from the Heavenly Mortal Sect started trembling in fear. If the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t have any God King experts, those Worldly God experts wouldn¡¯t fear even if they were to break the Heavenly Mortal Sect apart. Now that the Heavenly Mortal Sect had a God King, they would be doomed if the sect were to revisit what happened many years ago. "Disciple Shi Su greets Master." The moment Pang Jie walked out of the dried swamp, Shi Su walked over towards him speedily. Following Shu Su¡¯s lead, the elders and remaining disciples started moving forward to greet Pang Jie. Pang Jie swept his eyes across everyone before exclaiming. "Back then, my Heavenly Mortal Sect was also considered a peak grade sect. I cannot believe that it had fallen to this state today." "Ancestor, now that you¡¯ve become a God King, our Heavenly Mortal Sect would be able to regain our past glory." A few elders hurried to comment. "Yes, grandfather. You are a God King now so our Heavenly Mortal Sect will return to what it used to be." Even up till now, Pang Fengban was still unable to believe what he just witnessed. Pang Jie nodded his head as he lifted his head to stare at the two towering mountains. "The few of you are right. We shall get back everything and even more than what we lost many years ago. 30 days later, my Heavenly Mortal Sect shall feast with guest and reopen the sect¡¯s hall. Shi Su, settle this matter for me while I go stabilise my cultivation. After which, I will need to head out for a while." "Yes," Shi Su replied promptly. He was slightly hesitant as to whether he should inform Pang Jie about Ku Cai. Pang Jie noticed Shi Su¡¯s hesitation so he asked faintly, "Shi Su, you are my disciple. I¡¯ve told you before that the Heavenly Mortal Sect will always be open and straightforward. If you have any issues, just let me know immediately." "Yes, may I invite Sect Head to return to the sect¡¯s hall." Shi Su bowed respectfully. ¡­ Half an hour later, they arrived back at the sect¡¯s hall. Pang Jie sat in the head¡¯s seat while Shi Su and the few elders hurried to sit on either side of him. Even though Ku Cai¡¯s dark spiritual roots had stressed everyone out, the emergence of a God King in the Heavenly Mortal Sect got everyone excited again. "Tell me about it." Pang Jie nodded at Shi Su. Throughout all these years, even though Pang Jie didn¡¯t show his face, he had never stepped foot out of the Heavenly Mortal Sect before. He was well aware of what Shi Su had done. In his opinion, he was very pleased with everything Shi Su had done thus far. The Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t have a God King or even a Worldly God. Shi Su¡¯s plan to not expand the sect or let the sect possess any god spiritual energy was a very logical move. "Yes," Shi Su stood up, bowed and explained the entire Ku Cai¡¯s incident. Initially when Pang Jie heard that Ku Cai had a set of stainless spiritual roots, he was incomparably excited about the prospect. When he heard the later portion, his face became increasingly serious. After Shi Su finished his explanation, Pang Jie remained silent for a long while before speaking again. "Do you know what happened to the God Domain after that alien cultivator was encircled and killed in the God Domain?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, Pang Jie continued, "Back then after that alien cultivator was killed, everyone wasn¡¯t thinking about the Battle of Grand Dao. They were interested in a portion of a technique. That technique was the one left behind by that alien cultivator called the Laws of Darkness cultivation technique." The crowd exchanged glances and everyone understood what Ancestor Pang Jie meant. If that alien cultivator was able to kill so many God Kings surrounding him at that point in time, one could imagine how powerful his cultivation technique was. With a technique like this, everyone would naturally fight for it. Pang Jie sighed, "Who knew if that alien cultivator had planned to leave this Laws of Darkness technique behind? Even when that alien cultivator was killed, experts in the God Domain started fighting against each other for that technique. When they were fighting the alien cultivator, the space in the God Domain was already becoming unstable. When everyone started fighting each other again, a tear in the God Domain finally appeared from all the fights. The originally depleted number of God Kings decreased significantly once again. At that point, everyone went crazy as they drew out all sorts of magic treasures. For example, the Book of Luo, Qian Kun Cauldron, etc were all drawn out. Ai¡­" As he recalled that terrifying battle, Pang Jie sighed once more. "Where is Ku Cai now?" Shi Su answered, "She went to the residence of the other disciple, Mo Wuji. She should be aware that we wanted to kill her so she panicked and pleaded for his help because she didn¡¯t know anyone else." Shi Su shook his head because Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator brought back by Wei Jie. He was deemed as being worse than Yin Lin and if it was the previous Heavenly Mortal Sect, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t even be qualified to be a service disciple. Ku Cai pleading for Mo Wuji¡¯s help was probably because she had nowhere else to go. "Bring her in then," Pang Jie ordered. Chapter 895: Speaking To Help Chapter 895: Speaking To Help Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "No, there must still be a problem here." Mo Wuji suddenly thought of a very serious problem. "Big Brother Wuji, what is it?" The initially motivated Ku Cai became nervous once more. Mo Wuji asked seriously, "When you were being tested back at the hall, didn¡¯t you cultivate the technique in the crystal ball?" "Big Brother Wuji, it is that technique for I only know one technique. Moreover, I only know a small portion of that technique which my father had taught me before. I am unable to comprehend the entire crystal ball." Ku Cai hurried to explain. Mo Wuji replied in a solemn tone, "When you head back to the sect¡¯s hall to explain yourself later, you mustn''t tell them you know of this technique. In the future, you must not say you know of this technique too. Even if you wish to cultivate this technique, you must do it secretly¡­" "But¡­" Ku Cai was in a slightly difficult position because she only knew one technique. Mo Wuji shook his hand before Ku Cai could say out her thoughts. "Don¡¯t worry about this, relax your heart and mind. I shall give you an ordinary technique first." Even though the content of that crystal ball was vast and boundless, Mo Wuji sort of understand a little bit of it from just one look at it. In this short period of time, he might not be able to create any powerful technique for Ku Cai. However, he should still be able to teach a few spiritual circulation techniques to Ku Cai. "I shall listen to you, Big Brother Wuji." Ku Cai started to relax her heart and mind after saying this. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed in Ku Cai¡¯s sea of consciousness and spirit channels. That was when he was truly astonished. This was his first time seeing how stainless a spiritual roots could be as if there were no impurities at all. This would make his task much easier than when he was guiding his disciple Fu Jingfeng back then. In fact, Mo Wuji was easily able to find the most suitable spiritual circulation according to Ku Cai¡¯s incredibly clean and stainless spirit channels. Mo Wuji was well experienced in lightning attribute laws and even though he had just stepped into the Nascent God Stage, he wouldn¡¯t be able to deduce a complete set of cultivation technique for Ku Cai. Having seen Ku Cai¡¯s spirit channels clearly, it was an easily achievable task to help her deduce a few spiritual circulations in this short period of time. In less than half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji managed to help Ku Cai deduced out five spiritual circulations for her spirit channels. "Try it yourself." Mo Wuji taught Ku Cai the basics of spiritual circulations before handing her a pile of immortal crystals. Ku Cai tried cultivating using the method Mo Wuji taught her and as she managed to form one circulation, she opened her eyes shockingly. "Big Brother Wuji, using your method of cultivating, it is much easier and faster than what I used to do." While Ku Cai was cultivating, Mo Wuji could sense how terrifying her rate of absorption of the immortal energy was. He was inwardly praising how unbelievable the stainless spiritual roots were. If it wasn¡¯t for the lack of dark laws here, Ku Cai would have already stepped into the Heavenly God Stage with her aptitude. "Go and have yourself tested again later. While being tested, use the circulation method I taught you. As for your origins, just say¡­" Just as Mo Wuji was pondering as to what excuse Ku Cai should use, Ku Cai initiated, "Big Brother Wuji, my father had taught me before. I know what to say." "Alright, your Laws of Darkness technique crystal ball is incredibly powerful. After I analysed it, I will teach you." Mo Wuji continued. "I shall listen to Big Brother." Just as Ku Cai said this, Su Xia¡¯s voice could be heard from outside. "Wuji, Ku Cai, the Sect Head and Ancestor Pang Jie are waiting for the two of you at the sect¡¯s hall. Let¡¯s hurry over together." ¡­ Very soon, Mo Wuji and Ku Cai was brought into the hall by Su Xia. Mo Wuji found out that the previous generation Ancestor Pang Jie didn¡¯t perish and had just underwent his tribulation to become a true God King. The Heavenly Mortal Sect would be hosting a reopening ceremony and God King ritual a month later. "Disciple Mo Wuji and Ku Cai greets Ancestor, Sect Head and the elders." Mo Wuji took the initiative to help Ku Cai greet everyone in the hall. Pang Jie looked like an ordinary looking middle aged cultivator. Even though his cultivation had yet to be stabilised, and there were still fluctuations in his energy, Mo Wuji concluded from his appearance that he shouldn¡¯t be a hot tempered person. Mo Wuji appeared natural and relaxed and wasn¡¯t all too frightened to speak just because Pang Jie was a God King. This came as a huge surprise to Pang Jie himself. However, one look at Mo Wuji¡¯s dao spirituality and one could tell that he should be a cultivator with average aptitude. Pang Jie¡¯s eyes landed on Ku Cai as he asked, "Your name is Ku Cai?" Ku Cai bowed shyly as she replied with a soft voice. "Replying Ancestor. Disciple¡¯s name is indeed Ku Cai." "Where did you come from? Where are your parents? Have you formally become an apprentice to any one?" Pang Jie spoke in a warm tone but no matter how warm his tone was, the aura of a God King had already frightened Ku Cai. "My father and mother are both rogue cultivators and had perished a long time ago. I have no master and had always been alone." Ku Cai replied softly. "Then where did your cultivation technique come from?" Pang Jie followed up with yet another question as his tone became even more strict. Ku Cai shivered and answered fearfully, "It is an incomplete technique given by my father. I followed it accordingly to cultivate¡­" "Shi Su, bring out the magic treasure again. Let Ku Cai try cultivating it once more." Pang Jie said faintly. "Yes," Shi Su responded as he got people to bring out the white coloured magic treasure. "Sit there and cultivate that incomplete technique of yours." Pang Jie nodded at Ku Cai. Even though Mo Wuji had briefed her before, Ku Cai could still feel her legs trembling as she had never experienced this before. At this moment, she could only walk up onto the magic treasure before sitting down to cultivate the technique. In just one spiritual circulation, the black pillars started turning white and radiance were emitted from it. Out of the eight white pillars on both side of the magic treasure, two of them displayed blue colour. One of the blue was striking to the eye while the other slowly became black. However, the black colour was far from being as dark as the previous test. "It is indeed the stainless spiritual roots and is even the peak grade¡­" Pang Jie stood up abruptly as he muttered excitedly to himself. If he had Ku Cai¡¯s aptitude coupled with the opportunities he had, he would have already been in the Great Circle of the God King Stage a long time ago. Ku Cai recalled Mo Wuji¡¯s words so she stopped cultivating after only three spiritual circulations "Not bad, your technique is pretty impressive. However, this technique appear to be lacking a lot as well." Pang Jie and Shi Su were different as Pang Jie could tell Ku Cai¡¯s technique as she cultivated. If Ku Cai was cultivating the Laws of Darkness technique, Pang Jie would definitely be able to tell. "Master, previously when Ku Cai cultivated, her dark spiritual roots were far more obvious than her lightning spiritual roots. This time around, her lightning spiritual roots were more obvious." Shi Su told Pang Jie his doubts. "Ku Cai, I have no idea how your dark spiritual roots came about but the fact remains that it is prohibited in the God Domain. This was even if you don¡¯t cultivate the Laws of Darkness technique." Pang Jie sighed as he said to Ku Cai. He really liked Ku Cai and he was certain that with her aptitude, he would be able to guide her to become another God King of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Ku Cai revealed a fearful expression because now that Pang Jie still wanted to kill her, what should she do? Mo Wuji noticed that Pang Jie couldn¡¯t bear to kill Ku Cai. He knew that he should step out to say something before Pang Jie continue his sentence. If Pang Jie continued, it would be to make that order to kill Ku Cai. "Mo Wuji greets Ancestor and as the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s inner disciple, there are some words I must say." Mo Wuji bowed as he said with a comfortable air of arrogance. Seeing that Mo Wuji actually had such guts, Pang Jie grew even more flabbergasted as he nodded. "Please go ahead. My Heavenly Mortal Sect is able to last until today is mainly because we respect and love each and everyone here." Mo Wuji said calmly, "Ancestor have said that our Heavenly Mortal Sect is able to last until today because we respect and love everyone here. Ku Cai joined the sect so she should be considered a disciple of this sect. Firstly, she had done nothing wrong and secondly, she didn¡¯t cause any trouble. By punishing her for who she is seemed to be lacking a little justice. If the Heavenly Mortal Sect really did this to her, the Heavenly Mortal Sect would no longer be the Heavenly Mortal Sect. The love and respect mentioned by the Ancestor and sect head would merely be words that mean nothing." "Don¡¯t you know that cultivators with dark spiritual roots here in the entire God Domain was an existence which everyone hated? This will invite trouble and calamity upon our Heavenly Mortal Sect." Shi Su reprimanded Mo Wuji furiously. Mo Wuji maintained his composure as he replied. "I believe that for a sect to exist, it must have a reason to exist. When the Heavenly Mortal Sect was encircled by countless experts, we managed to survive because of united friendship and love. As long as everyone was united, even if we can¡¯t beat our opponents, we wouldn¡¯t back down. This is our spirit and the reason why our Heavenly Mortal Sect was able to survive till today. Now that we don¡¯t have any enemy invading us, we are going to kill a disciple just because she has dark spiritual roots. This would add a smear in the history of our Heavenly Mortal Sect and cause us to lose this unique spirit. A sect without spirit would never last long even if we became stronger because ancestor had just stepped into the God King Stage. If yet another incident occurred like before, the sect would not have the mindset or trust to hold on. Ku Cai indeed has dark spiritual roots but this wasn¡¯t her choice. As long as nobody leak this out, who would find out? Moreover, I believe that Ku Cai is not the only one with dark spiritual roots here in the God Domain." "Oh? Please continue." Pang Jie let out an ¡®oh¡¯ as he nodded at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of Pang Jie improved tremendously. As a God King, he was an existence at the very peak of the God Domain but he was still humble enough to speak so casually with a disciple who had just joined the sect. This was indeed something not everyone could do. "Yes," Mo Wuji clasped his fists once more. "I¡¯ve heard that after that alien cultivator perished in the God Domain that many years ago, his laws had spread into the God Domain. I believe that alien cultivator must be very strong and his laws had condensed darkness attribute laws within the God Domain itself. This meant that it isn¡¯t entirely impossible to have dark spiritual roots here in the God Domain¡­" Pang Jie heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words and the shock in his eyes intensified. Unless one had extremely deep understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth, one shouldn¡¯t be able to say what Mo Wuji just said. Or rather, Pang Jie had never heard an explanation like this before. Could it be that Mo Wuji was also another talent? Chapter 896: The Way To Conceal Spiritual Roots Chapter 896: The Way To Conceal Spiritual Roots Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "What is your spiritual roots type?" Pang Jie looked anxiously at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was dumbfounded at how Pang Jie asked for his spiritual roots for no apparent reason. He answered promptly, "In reply to Ancestor, I have a mixture of spiritual roots and because my spiritual roots transformation wasn¡¯t very thorough, I am only in the Nascent God Elementary Stage." Pang Jie sighed and even though Mo Wuji¡¯s reply was within his expectations, he still felt disappointed. A person with such high capability to comprehend actually didn¡¯t have good aptitude in cultivation. Pang Jie¡¯s eyes landed back on Ku Cai, "Ku Cai, are you willing to accept me as your master?" "Ah¡­" Ku Cai was dumbfounded. It was already a miracle that he wouldn¡¯t kill her but now he actually want to take her as his disciple? Ku Cai wasn¡¯t the only one as Shi Su and the elders were all equally shocked. How fortunate must it be for a God King to take her as his disciple? Pang Jie noticed the shock in everyone¡¯s eyes so he went on to explain, "Actually, Wuji¡¯s words are true. If a sect decides to kill their own disciple because of the fear of future troubles, there isn¡¯t any need for the sect to exist any longer. My Heavenly Mortal Sect only managed to survive until today because of our spirit of friendship and love. It is true that Ku Cai has dark spiritual roots but there is hope as long as I can help her find a complete lightning attribute technique. Once she forged her own god lattice to enter the Heavenly God Stage, it should be impossible for anyone else to test and find out about her dark spiritual roots." As for the possibility that Ku Cau could have a technique of her own for dark spiritual roots, Pang Jie hadn¡¯t even thought about it. How precious was the dark spiritual roots technique? Back then, a set of that alien cultivator¡¯s technique caused such a huge commotion in the entire God Domain. Eventually, there was still no traces of that technique. Moreover, his spiritual will had already scanned through Ku Cai¡¯s storage ring to confirm that there were no Laws of Darkness technique within it. Evidently, she was merely a rogue cultivator with nothing much on her. "Ku Cai, shouldn¡¯t you be on your knees now?" Noticing that Ku Cai was still in a daze, Shi Su warned her sternly. Ku Cai finally reacted as she got onto her knees, "Ku Cai thanks Ancestor for letting me live. However, I had swore to myself that I will find the remaining portion of my own cultivation technique. This meant that I am unable to take you as my master now¡­" This was what Mo Wuji agreed with Ku Cai earlier on. If the Sect Head really allowed her to live, she mustn''t take anyone as her master. With the little secret on her, she would be exposed the moment she agreed to be anyone¡¯s disciple here in the sect. Pang Jie sighed, "It is rare that you are so insistent. You have the peak grade lightning spiritual roots and by taking me as your master, I am indeed unable to find a cultivation technique more suitable for you than your own one. Forget it, Shi Su, help me look after Ku Cai. Arrange a slightly better cultivation immortal residence for her." How could Pang Jie not understand the words of Ku Cai? Ku Cai meant to say that if she were to find a person with the complete set of lightning attribute technique which she currently cultivates, she might take him as her master. Everyone else was shocked at her response. They all felt that Ku Cai was being a little immature in rejecting a God King¡¯s request to be his disciple. This opportunity was something countless people coveted for their entire life. "Many thanks Ancestor, many thanks Sect Head. I wish to stay together with Big Brother Wuji so there is no need for further arrangement." Ku Cai bowed continually. Shi Su looked back at his Master Pang Jie as Pang Jie nodded at him. "Let Ku Cai stay with Wuji then. Wuji, go ahead and bring Ku Cai down first." Nobody was surprised at Ku Cai¡¯s request because everyone could tell that Ku Cai was inexperienced and had yet to see much of the world. When Pang Jie mentioned that he was not going to keep a person with dark spiritual roots, only Mo Wuji stood up to speak for her. Naturally, she would develop a sense of dependency on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji answered promptly as he quickly brought Ku Cai out of the hall. He was full of respect for Pang Jie for being so broad minded. After Mo Wuji and Ku Cai departed far away, Pang Jie spoke up once more. "Shi Su, regardless of what stage Ku Cai cultivate until, she mustn¡¯t leave the sect as long as her dark spiritual will could still be spotted from the test." "Yes." Shi Su replied anxiously. Even without his master¡¯s reminder, he wouldn¡¯t allow her to set foot out of the sect so easily. It wouldn¡¯t be a trivial matter if her dark spiritual roots were exposed. Pang Jie nodded as he didn¡¯t continue to speak about Ku Cai. "My Heavenly Mortal Sect must have a concealed peak grade god spiritual vein which was yet to be discovered. Now that I¡¯ve advanced into the God King Stage, I would be able to instal a spirit gathering array here in the sect. In this period of time, other than stabilising my own cultivator, I would also be looking for that concealed god spiritual vein. I will open it so that everyone in the sect can cultivate at full force." "Master, our sect only has two mountains so should we try and get more back?" Hearing that the sect still had concealed god spiritual vein yet to be discovered, more ideas popped up in his head. The Heavenly Mortal Sect only had about 100 disciples which was simply too little. By shifting in more mountains, they would be able to recruit more disciples again. "There is no hurry. Some of those people who had shifted our mountains away previously will ultimately return us." The usually warm and friendly Pang Jie actually said that with a trace of killing intent. The mountains of a God King Sect wasn¡¯t something that should be easily taken away. "Master, there is one more incident. The God Domain Nest is about to incubate once more¡­" "Shi Su, you¡¯re saying that the God Domain Nest is going to incubate again?" Pang Jie stood up abruptly as his tone became evidently more excited. He had just advanced into the God King Stage and wanted to expand his Heavenly Mortal Sect. The incubation of the God Domain Nest would be the perfect opportunity to send the Heavenly Mortal Sect back to its glory days. "Yes, the God Domain Nest is set to incubate once more. Additionally, the ten great God Kings had come to an agreement that every sect must participate. Our Heavenly Mortal Sect was no exception which was why we would head out to recruit disciples." Shi Su explained. Pang Jie laughed out loud, " The heavens must be really pleased with our Heavenly Mortal Sect. That¡¯s right, our Heavenly Mortal Sect must participate. Shi Su, after our reopening ceremony and God King Ritual a month later, continue to recruit disciples. This time around, we shall have a mass recruitment of disciples." Hearing Pang Jie¡¯s instructions, the few elders in the hall were incomparably excited as well. Previously, they were existence similar to salted fish but now that the sect was going to mass recruit disciples, they would no longer be salted fish. ... The main reason why Ku Cai followed Mo Wuji back to his residence was certainly not the same as Pang Jie¡¯s guess. It was because if she wanted to cultivate lightning attribute technique, she needed Mo Wuji to deduce it for her. Fortunately, there were not many disciples here at the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Therefore, every disciple¡¯s immortal residence was extremely big and there was even a god spiritual herb garden attached to it. In fact, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem even if Mo Wuji were to invite a few more people to stay at his residence. Everyone in the Heavenly Mortal Sect grew busier and even the newly recruited Nascent God Stage Level 7 Yin Lin and Di Butong had their own tasks. Moreover, Sect Head Shi Su actually didn¡¯t allow anyone to disturb Mo Wuji and Ku Cai. When Mo Wuji found out that the sect head intentionally prevented people from disturbing them, he was actually very touched. If it wasn¡¯t for the urgent need to help Ku Cai with her technique, Mo Wuji would definitely offer his help. It was important to both Ku Cai and the Heavenly Mortal Sect that her technique was deduced out as soon as possible. After close to 30 days, Mo Wuji handed Ku Cai a set of cultivation technique which could be considered complete. He based it off his own Immortal Mortal Technique, his understanding towards lightning laws as well as Ku Cai¡¯s spirit channels to deduce a set of lightning attribute cultivation technique. However, Mo Wuji was uncertain of the grade but Ku Cai was still incredibly touched and satisfied. Cultivating using the lightning attribute technique that Mo Wuji handed her resulted in a much faster rate of progress than her Law of Darkness technique. What she was most satisfied with was that with Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation technique, she was able to easily conceal the power of the Laws of Darkness technique into one of her spirit channels. In other words, if she were to go through the test again, she would be able to conceal the power of her dark spiritual roots so that she could pass the test. Seeing that Ku Cai had started cultivating madly, Mo Wuji was very satisfied. He was only able to let Ku Cai hide the elemental energy of the Law of Darkness technique because he had the spirit storage channel as well as the elemental storage channel. Just because Mo Wuji could help Ku Cai conceal her dark spiritual roots didn¡¯t mean he could help others to conceal their spiritual roots. Other than the possession of his elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel which could help alter the Immortal Mortal Technique, Ku Cai¡¯s stainless spiritual roots were the more important factor. He wouldn¡¯t be able to do what he did if Ku Cai didn¡¯t possess the stainless spiritual roots. After helping Ku Cai concealed her spiritual roots, Mo Wuji also had a revelation of his own. While he didn¡¯t have spiritual roots, he was able to use his understanding of the laws to stimulate out fake spiritual roots. For example, he would be able to stimulate lightning spiritual roots by using lightning attribute laws and fire attribute laws for fire spiritual roots. This was a massive help to him because similarly to Ku Cai, the fact that he could cultivate without spiritual roots must be concealed. After Ku Cai started to cultivate, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t cultivate as he installed defensive arrays before heading towards the hall. He believed that as a member of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he should contribute especially when the entire sect was busy. "Senior Sister Su Xia, is there anything I could help with?" The instant Mo Wuji left his residence, he saw Su Xia scrambling around with a few of the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s members which he didn¡¯t recognised. They seemed busier than ever. "Junior Brother Wuji, it is great that you¡¯re around now. Three days later is the day we reopen the sect so go and find Senior Sister Yin Lin and Senior Brother Xu Bo to be in charge of welcoming the guests." Su Xia hurriedly instructed Mo Wuji before heading off rapidly again. ¡­ As Mo Wuji hurried over to the guest¡¯s hall, there were about seven to eight people standing around the guest¡¯s hall. A skinny and tall yellow robe disciple was instructing a few others as to where to arrange and place the jade tables and chairs. "Junior Brother Wuji, you¡¯re here. Hurry up and help.." Yin Lin called out for Mo Wuji as she saw him walking in. Mo Wuji was slightly speechless as he looked at the huge guest hall being arranged accordingly to what was planned. He hesitated for a while before commenting, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, I am afraid that such an arrangement would not do." "Are you Junior Brother Wuji? I am Xu Bo and should be considered as your senior brother. Could Junior Brother explain why you mentioned that this arrangement would not do?" The skinny and tall yellow robe man hurried over as he clasped his fists. The Heavenly Mortal Sect already had so few people to begin with and the few people here were evidently not experienced with reception jobs. The Sect Head made him in charge of reception but up till now, he was like a headless housefly and was completely loss at what he was doing. Mo Wuji saw how polite and respectful Xu Bo talked to him and was even more impressed at how everyone at the Heavenly Mortal Sect treated each other humbly and politely. "Senior Brother Xu, this would be the God King Ritual of our Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Ancestor so there might be many big figures coming to congratulate him. In fact, there might even be other God Kings coming to visit. The arrangement of the chairs in the hall shouldn¡¯t be the consistent throughout as we should segregate the difference in grades. Besides this, we must prepare gifts for those who came to observe. We might even need to pour tea for our guests so with an arrangement like this, it wouldn¡¯t be convenient for us¡­" Mo Wuji went through all the ideas and suggestions in his mind one after the other. Xu Bo didn¡¯t wait for Mo Wuji to finish speaking as he held onto Mo Wuji¡¯s hands and said, "Junior Brother Mo, I shall hand this guest reception to you. I really have no idea what to begin with." "Alright," Mo Wuji noticed that Xu Bo wasn¡¯t being humble but because he was really clueless about this. Because he had a good impression of this Heavenly Mortal Sect, he was rather willing to help them out for such matters. Chapter 897: External Affairs Hall Lord Chapter 897: External Affairs Hall Lord Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Pang Jie stood delightedly at the centre of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, in front of a concealed array opened up by him. There was 99 peak grade god spiritual veins and all 99 of them had formed a looping array. As soon as he ignited it, all the god spiritual energy would be swept over. By using the peak grade array used to conceal all 99 peak grade spiritual veins, one could gain clear insights on the Grand Dao laws of Heaven and Earth. The looping energy gathering array formed by these 99 peak grade spiritual veins would last forever unless it was damaged. The precondition would be that his Heavenly Mortal Sect must replenish some god crystals or regular god spiritual veins into it occasionally. The forefathers of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were indeed mighty to be able to install such a massive energy gathering array. Even peak grade sects like the Nine Evolutions God Sect or the Forgotten Creek Dao School might not have such energy gathering array. This energy gathering array even contained the laws of Heaven and Earth. Before, he believed that all the god spiritual veins of the Heavenly Mortal Sect had been extracted and stolen away. However, he now knows that the true foundations of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were never even touched. The god spiritual veins which were stolen were merely the extra god spiritual veins. More precisely, they were like the supporting god spiritual veins. If he hadn¡¯t stepped into the God King Stage, how was he supposed to find this place? Or find out about the true foundation of the Heavenly Mortal Sect? No, Pang Jie¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he realised something. If he hadn¡¯t managed to absorb the pure and dense god spiritual energy so abruptly before, he would never have been able to advance into the God King Stage. In other words, he might not even have found this place even if he had entered the God King Stage. He was only able to find this place because he had absorbed the peak grade spiritual energy here before. Only then was he able to use that previous feeling to guide himself to this location. Could it be that more ancestors of the Heavenly Mortal Sect had yet to perish and was protecting the Heavenly Mortal Sect all these while? Allowing him to step into the God King Stage and then finding this location? Pang Jie threw this thought aside very quickly. He believed that if more ancestors were still around, they wouldn¡¯t have been in hiding. Regardless, he wasn¡¯t able to open up this peak grade Heaven and Earth energy gathering array formed by these 99 peak grade god spiritual veins. This array would only act as Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s underground support. What he needed to do was to find ordinary god spiritual veins to install on the outside before combining it with the use of this array. This was the only way to guarantee that the Heavenly Mortal Sect would become a true holyland for cultivation. However, they mustn''t reveal the existence of this peak grade energy gathering array. It must remain as a secret for the Heavenly Mortal Sect. ¡­ Presently on the periphery of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, about 20 to 30 people including Xu Bo and Su Xia looked at Mo Wuji in awe. The dried up swamp outside the sect was rebuilt into a massive plaza under Mo Wuji¡¯s guidance. Mo Wuji installed a simple array around the plaza as spiritual mist lingered around faintly. The plaza was planted with two rows of beautiful trees and hundreds of immortal birds were purchased to fly around the trees on the plaza. An immortal sound array was installed by Mo Wuji on the plaza. Once someone entered the plaza, he/she would be able to hear the elegant and supple immortal music clearly. In the plaza itself, a few meters wide green jade path extended into the sect. A golden carpet was laid on the green jade path which improved the overall appearance of the Heavenly Mortal Sect by several folds. Up above the plaza were three massive flamboyant words with dao spirituality around it: Heavenly Mortal Plaza. These three words were handwritten by Mo Wuji himself. Even though these few words looked very ordinary, his deep understanding of the Grand Dao coupled with a sharp increase in cultivation resulted in the continual increase in the laws of dao spirituality of these words. The initially ruined Heavenly Mortal Sect looked so much mightier after Mo Wuji¡¯s simple makeover. "Junior Brother Wuji, you are really capable. I can¡¯t believe this is our Heavenly Mortal Sect." Su Xia looked pleasingly at the clean and spacious Heavenly Mortal Plaza as she listened to the sweet sounding music playing in the background. She only came over to help Xu Bo after completing her task of decorating the guests'' immortal residences. What she didn¡¯t expect was that Xu Bo actually hands the entire guest reception task to her Junior Brother Mo Wuji. What was even more surprising was that he would actually do such an impressive job. "Yes, Wuji, you are far more capable than any one of us here." Xu Bo was equally as excited at the sight of this plaza. Mo Wuji hurried to reply. "These are merely the appearance as our surrounding defensive array was still of a low grade. In fact, it lacked god spiritual energy too. At the very most, it was only pleasing to the eye." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t speaking blindly because everything he had installed, including defensive array, were all of very low grades. They were at most the same standard of a grade one god array. He was certain that even the weakest sect around here wouldn¡¯t install such poor arrays. The pity was that out of the ten disciples that came to help, his standard of array dao was already the highest among them. The rest of them might not even be able to install a grade one god array. Just as Mo Wuji finished speaking, dense god spiritual energy suddenly filled up the entire space. Everyone looked surprisingly above their heads as Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s voice could be heard from far within the mountains. "I have already implanted a few god spiritual veins so everyone can start cultivating now. In the future, we would implant even more god spiritual veins into our Heavenly Mortal Sect and our land of cultivation would only get better." "The Heavenly Mortal Sect shall last forever! Ancestor shall last forever!" All the elders and disciples within the Heavenly Mortal Sect bowed respectfully. Mo Wuji had only done up the appearance of the Heavenly Mortal Sect while Pang Jie had revived the god spiritual energy of the sect. This was the true foundation of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "Ai, who did this?" After implanting the god spiritual veins, Pang Jie¡¯s spiritual will saw the change in the dried swamp outside the Heavenly Mortal Sect. In the very next moment, he landed right on this plaza. The swamp outside the Heavenly Mortal Sect used to be a heavenly pond. Because of the calamity suffered by the Heavenly Mortal Sect, everything on the outside including god spiritual veins, herbal gardens and even mountains had been taken away from them. The heavenly pond of the Heavenly Mortal Sect had also dried up and eventually ending up as a dried up swamp. Pang Jie was intending to rebuild the sect¡¯s hall first before getting Shi Su to recover the original state of the heavenly pond. What he didn¡¯t expect was that before he did that, the heavenly pond had actually turned into a massive plaza. Not only that, this plaza looked incredibly impressive and majestic. Despite the rows of beautiful trees and defensive arrays were not up to standard in terms of their grades, the immortal music was very pleasing to the ear and the welcoming trees did look elegant. Including the golden carpet in the middle of the plaza, the Heavenly Mortal Sect looked so much more majestic than before. Otherwise, people would still look down upon the sect¡¯s ruined territory while observing his God King ritual. "In reply to Ancestor, we did it under the guidance of Junior Brother Mo." Su Xia bowed hurriedly to reply Pang Jie. Pang Jie looked elatedly at Mo Wuji before saying, "Not bad, you¡¯re not only knowledgeable but also capable. Shi Su, help Wuji test out his spiritual roots." Hearing Pang Jie¡¯s words, Xu Bo, Su Xia and even Yin Lin and co. were all happy for Mo Wuji. This showed that Pang Jie had started to value Mo Wuji. As long as his spiritual roots were of decent grades, Mo Wuji would definitely be an important figure in the future. As Shi Su and the few elders had arrived here, they were equally astonished at Mo Wuji¡¯s deeds. In only a few days, the Heavenly Mortal Sect looked so much more dignified than before. Regardless of how good his spiritual roots were, Mo Wuji was definitely a capable person. Shi Su retrieved the magic treasure very quickly as Pang Jie said enthusiastically. "Wuji, there¡¯s no need for you to worry. Just have yourself tested and regardless of the result, you are still a disciple of my Heavenly Mortal Sect." "Yes." If this was before deducing a technique for Ku Cai, Mo Wuji would be slightly hesitant. However, he didn¡¯t hesitate at all now because he was able to use his elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel. He knew that he could control the characteristics of his spiritual roots. This was a secret he kept to himself. Even though Ku Cai knew he could do that, she wouldn¡¯t be able to find out how he did it. Mo Wuji never intended to make his spiritual roots extraordinary. During the test, he simply circulated the laws of wind and lightning attributes. "Ai, you actually have both lightning and wind attributes spiritual roots. Such rarity¡­" Seeing that Mo Wuji had two different attributes, Pang Jie exclaimed before sighing. "The only pity is that your transformation of spiritual roots is slightly poorer. Ai¡­" Shi Su and co. didn¡¯t speak because they didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji¡¯s transformation was just slightly poor. Looking at how half the pillars were black in colour, this wasn¡¯t slightly poor but poor to the extent where it couldn¡¯t get any worse. Pang Jie maintained silent for a while before speaking again. "Wuji, you are a capable and knowledgeable disciple. It is okay even if your transformation of spiritual roots were poor. Many years ago, we have a lot of cultivators with poor spiritual roots stepping into the God King Stage. Therefore, as long as you continue to work hard, you would have a chance. Moreover, now that the God Nest is about to incubate, we might be able to find a magic treasure to help cleanse your transformation of spiritual roots¡­." Mo Wuji replied, "Disciple¡¯s technique and rate of cultivation are still decent. Therefore, disciple ain¡¯t too disappointed." "Not bad, your attitude is great." Even though Mo Wuji had a poor aptitude, Pang Jie still nodded satisfyingly. With Mo Wuji¡¯s attitude, he was one of the most suitable people to cultivate. Pang Jie decided that if he were to find a treasure which could cleanse spiritual roots, he would definitely nurture Mo Wuji, a disciple with high capabilities to comprehend things. Not only was Mo Wuji¡¯s ability to comprehend impressive, he had this comfortable air of arrogance even in front of a God King like Pang Jie. This was certainly the attitude of a true expert. In fact, even Shi Su and his grandson, Pang Fengban didn¡¯t possess an attitude like this. At the thought of this, Pang Jie said to Shi Su, "After we completed collecting back our mountains, arrange an entire mountain just for Wuji. Appoint Wuji as the Hall Lord of the External Affairs Hall. Also, this plaza shall be called the Heavenly Mortal Plaza in the future and there isn¡¯t a need to change it back to a heavenly pond anymore." "Yes, may I invite master to rewrite the words ¡®Heavenly Mortal Plaza¡¯. After All, Wuji¡¯s cultivation is still very low." Shi Su answered immediately. Pang Jie smiled faintly at Mo Wuji. "The three words written by Wuji might have poor dao spirituality but there is something extraordinary about the words. I am not going to change these three words and this is also my commendation for Wuji. After all, it was Mo Wuji¡¯s idea to turn this heavenly pond into a plaza." Chapter 898: Peculiar Guests Chapter 898: Peculiar Guests Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations To be honest, nobody cared about the Heavenly Mortal Sect even though it had always existed. In the eyes of others, it didn¡¯t matter whether this sect existed or not. Because of this reason, Pang Jie wanted to have this reopening of the sect. The news of the reopening of the Heavenly God Sect had spread across half the God Domain in less than a month. The reason for the fast spread of news was mainly because of the emergence of a God King in the God Domain. The reopening of the Heavenly Mortal Sect would be held on the same day as the God King ritual. Many sects, as well as rogue cultivators, hurried over to the Heavenly Mortal Sect when they heard of the news. Most of the sects came over to congratulate the reopening of the Heavenly Mortal Sect while rogue cultivators came with the intention to join the sect. Now that a God King emerged from the Heavenly Mortal Sect, one could imagine how great of a sect it will be in the future. Even if it didn¡¯t become a peak grade sect, it will be at least a high grade sect. As the Heavenly Mortal Sect only had a few disciples now, joining the sect now would mean a higher status in the sect. ¡­ Because Mo Wuji had been appointed as the Hall Lord of the External Affairs Hall, this guest reception had completely become his task. Even Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect so many people would make the trip down to the Heavenly Mortal Sect today. Crowds after crowds of people streamed into the Heavenly Mortal Plaza. The name cards and gifts of these people were dealt separately by Mo Wuji. Any guest, regardless of cultivation level, would be asked to walk through the golden carpet into the plaza within the defensive array. As for Sect Heads, or experts above the World God cultivation, would be invited and guided to the guest¡¯s hall. The Heavenly Mortal Sect had a lack of manpower from the very beginning. Even so, Mo Wuji¡¯s management prevented chaos in the guest¡¯s hall. In fact, every reputable personnel and personnel who had prepared gifts would walk through the golden carpet of the Heavenly Mortal Sect and have their names announced and a ¡®thank you¡¯ for their gifts. A few average cultivators, who came to observe this ceremony, saw how complete and perfect the sect¡¯s welcoming ceremony was and was inwardly full of praise. Even though it was merely an ordinary golden carpet, Mo Wuji¡¯s plan to announce the names of those who presented gifts to the sect made it so much more extraordinary. There were only a few members in the Heavenly Mortal Sect but a large crowd came to visit. Now that the defensive array had been opened, everyone in the plaza could see the crowd of people waiting to enter. With so many people watching on, those who prepared gifts for the sect and had their names announced felt extremely comfortable and pleased. Many experts, including some Sect Heads, had even intentionally added in more gifts. A few cultivators, who had never intended to gift anything, felt awkward so they would also prepare a small gift. How awkward would it be when they walked through the golden carpet with no gifts on their hands? Others who prepared gifts would have their names announced so how embarrassing would it be for those who didn¡¯t? Initially, the guests were from the relatively smaller sects as well as a few ordinary rogue cultivators. Towards the end, more big figures arrived. "Welcoming the School of Sword Law¡¯s School Head Zhuang Yingnan to the Heavenly Mortal Sect. School Head Zhuang Yingnan had prepared an intermediate grade god spiritual vein as a congratulatory gift¡­" "Welcoming the River Pill School¡¯s Sect Head Li Ru to the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Sect Head Li Ru had prepared a low grade spiritual vein, a Channel Severing God Silk¡­" "Welcoming the Godly Grain Valley¡¯s Elder Zhen Qi to the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Elder Zhen Qi had prepared two peak grade god mountains¡­" ¡­ The School of Sword Law and the River Pill School weren¡¯t considered a big sect and they didn¡¯t have an existence of a God King too. However, the Godly Grain Valley was different because they were one of the peak grade sects in the God Domain. Valley Lord Wen Mingyang of the Godly Grain Valley was even ranked 6th out of the ten great God Kings in the God Domain. When Elder Zhen Qi of the Godly Grain Valley arrived, the discussions in the plaza grew louder. "Even Godly Grain¡¯s Valley Elder Zhen Qi, who is in the World God Stage Level 9, came today. It seemed like the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s God Ritual had really gathered quite a few experts here." Someone in the crowd exclaimed. "Ah, out of all the peak grade sects, do you see any other sects except for the Godly Grain Valley? Even the Godly Grain Valley only sent their elder here." Someone in the crowd refuted immediately. The people around the discussion maintained silent after hearing this. It did seem like there was only one elder who came from a big sect. There were quite a few of the other sects but the best one would only be the School of Sword Law. It was rumoured that the School Head Zhuang Yingnan was in the World God Stage Level 6. Without any reminder, nobody seemed to realised this. Now that someone had reminded them, they realised that even though there were many people here, the only peak grade sect was the Godly Grain Valley. Just like what the other cultivator mentioned earlier, the Godly Grain Valley merely sent an elder here. This meant to say up till now, there was still no sign of any other God King. Truthfully, Mo Wuji, who was standing at the reception desk, had already noticed this. They had welcomed quite a number of guests and received quite a number of gifts. However, there were no signs of any God Kings which made him slightly disappointed. Regardless of how the Heavenly Mortal Sect was like in the past, a God King had emerged from it now. He couldn¡¯t believe that no other God Kings came to show their face. Mo Wuji concluded that the God Kings of the God Domain were all looking down on the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Isn¡¯t an expert in the God King Elementary Stage also considered a God King? While Mo Wuji had been in the God Domain for more quite some time now, even he knew how incredible the existence of a God King was. He had heard that if they added up the total number of God Kings in the God Domain, it wouldn¡¯t even sum up to 100. And how many people were there in the God Domain? Over a quadrillion of people? Less than a hundred out of a quadrillion of people were God Kings. Was this a huge percentage? No, it was simply too little. Noticing that almost all the guests had entered the plaza and just when the sect defensive array was about to close up, the announcing disciple suddenly announced. "Welcoming God King Wei Zheng to the Heavenly Mortal Sect. God King Wei Zheng had prepared a peak grade god spiritual vein, high grade god spiritual vein and ten peak grade god mountains¡­" Before this disciple could complete his announcement, Pang Jie had already hurried out from within the sect with a face full of smiles. "Small brother is preparing to rebuild the Heavenly Mortal Sect and it actually alerted Brother Wei Zheng. What an honour, what an honour!" "Haha." God King Wei Zheng merely laughed before clasping his fists. "Congratulations Dao Friend Pang on joining the ranks of a God King like myself. I¡¯ve received the news slightly late but it seems like I made it in time. I am truly fortunate, very fortunate." "Brother Wei Zheng, please hurry in¡­" Pang Jie personally invited God King Wei Zheng into the sect. Even though the welcoming ceremony was coming to an end, the arrival of God King Wei Zheng brought a new climax to the crowd¡¯s emotions. "Didn¡¯t you say no God Kings came to observe this ceremony? Look at that! God King Wei Zheng, one of the greatest God King among the rogue cultivators." "Of course I know about God King Wei Zheng. Even though he is a rogue cultivator, he does things fairly and forthrightly. Moreover, he was in the God King Stage Level 4, one of the highest existence in the God Domain." ¡­ Mo Wuji also heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the arrival of God King Wei Zheng. Otherwise, there would still be something lacking no matter how good of a job he had done as the Hall Lord of the External Affairs Hall. Just like a chain reaction, God King Wei Zheng had just arrived and the announcing disciple carried on his announcement loudly. "Welcoming Forgotten Creek Dao School¡¯s disciple Lan Ou, Forgotten Creek Dao School¡¯s disciple Bian Huang¡¯Er, Moonlight God Sect¡¯s disciple Gong Qianchan and Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s disciple Gan Luan to the Heavenly Mortal Sect!" Following the announcement, four extremely beautiful women walked in from the golden carpet. Mo Wuji was dumbfounded because every single one of the four women were incredibly gorgeous. With Mo Wuji¡¯s judgement, he noticed that none of the four had entered the Heavenly God Stage. All of them were still in the Nascent God Stage. It was okay even though these four beautiful women, of rather low cultivation level, came to observe the ceremony. The more important point to note was that none of them brought gifts but carried on walking on the golden carpet with a clear conscience. Hold on, Mo Wuji had heard of these few sects. Wasn¡¯t that Liu Ruting woman also from the Nine Evolutions God Sect¡­ Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about the few sects, Su Xia had already whispered in his ears. "They are all from peak grade sects namely the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Nine Evolutions God Sect and Moonlight God Sect." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the only one feeling apprehensive as the rest of the guests were discussing intensely. Previously, they were still mentioning about how the Godly Grain Valley was the only peak grade sect around. In a blink of an eye, so many other peak grade sects had arrived. Forgotten Creek Dao School, Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Moonlight God Sect were all reputable existences in the God Domain. But why does it feels wrong? Not only did these disciples who came to visit not bring gifts, isn¡¯t their cultivation level slightly too low? Not even a Heavenly God Stage disciple but four Nascent God Stage disciples... Were they here to congratulate or insult? Mo Wuji seemed to understand what was going on in his heart. It would be okay if these few big sects didn¡¯t come to congratulate but to send a few ants over? Wasn¡¯t this a form of insult? However, as the External Affairs Hall Lord, he could only contain his fury as he turned to Su Xia. "Su Xia, bring them to the guest¡¯s hall then." Ultimately, they still came to represent their peak grade sects. If the reception for them wasn¡¯t done appropriately, he might invite hatred from these sects for the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "Are you the one in charge?" What surprised Mo Wuji was that just as he ordered Su Xia, the four women came to a halt. One of them even walked intentionally in front of Mo Wuji to question him. Chapter 899: Rejection Chapter 899: Rejection Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "That¡¯s right, I am the person in charge." Mo Wuji guessed that these four women must have heard from the disciples outside to know about Mo Wuji. "I am Lan Ou from the Forgotten Creek Dao School and you can call me Senior Sister Lan. You are definitely a talent. I¡¯ve heard that you¡¯ve only used a few days to turn this a wasteland into something so spectacular. Even though it isn¡¯t luxurious, everyone seems extremely pleased with it. Moreover, you manage to collect so many gifts from so many people. You are indeed pretty incredible." Lan Ou stared at Mo Wuji with a smile. "That¡¯s right, this plaza is sloppy and ordinary. Furthermore, I can break through the defensive array with a lift of my hand. The immortal birds and music are not worth anything at all. Even the golden carpet is rubbish¡­ yet when all these low grade items come together, they made everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. In fact, to have so many people present gifts to your sect so willingly, you are indeed a talent. However, the four of us are very poor so we don¡¯t have any gifts for you." Yet another woman chuckled as she said this. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart started fuming slightly because of the comment ¡®rubbish¡¯. She should have realised that she have crossed the line which was why she stopped herself at the last minute. Mo Wuji said faintly, "The four of you come from peak grade sects and if I am as fortunate to be born in the same sect as you are, I probably wouldn¡¯t need to spend any god crystals when I shop outside." Lan Ou seemed to have failed to notice the sarcasm in Mo Wuji¡¯s words as she replied calmly. "If you¡¯re willing, you can join our sect. Your aptitude seems average but you are indeed capable. I can guarantee you a slot as an outer disciple. Just because your aptitude is average, it didn¡¯t mean you will not progress further. My Forgotten Creek Dao School has many average cultivators who made it into the Heavenly God Stage eventually too." Mo Wuji replied coolly, "Thank you for your kind offer but I know myself the best. Being able to enter the Heavenly Mortal Sect is already one of my greatest fortune. As for your peak grade sect, I really don¡¯t dare to have extravagant hopes. Su Xia, bring the guests into the guest hall." If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t fearful that he might cause trouble for the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he would have added in a few more words of sarcasm. However, Mo Wuji was well aware that he mustn¡¯t offend any one of these four women. If he did, he would be inviting calamity upon the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "Yes." Su Xia answered before turning to the four women. "May I invite senior sisters to follow me?" "Tsk, simply unappreciative of my senior sister¡¯s kindness. My senior sister allowed you to join the Forgotten Creek Dao Sect as an outer disciple and that was your opportunity. I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re so pretentious by rejecting her. Do you think my Forgotten Creek Dao Sect accept disciple so casually? You should know that given your aptitude, you would never be able to enter the Heavenly God Stage right?" The red robe woman shouted furiously at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s dao spirituality was gloomy which proved that his aptitude was low. This was something everyone could tell. Even so, Mo Wuji maintained his coolness as he replied. "I know that the few senior sisters are experts in the Heavenly God Stage and I know I might not be able to even step into the Nascent God Stage. Fortunately, I am flexible and ready to adapt anywhere so I really don¡¯t mind." "We are currently not in the Heavenly God Stage but all of us would charge into the Heavenly God Stage very soon." The red robe woman said while feeling slightly embarrassed. She didn¡¯t believe that Mo Wuji saw through their cultivations and was mocking them. Out of the four women, she had the lowest cultivation level at Nascent God Level 8 while the rest were all in level 9. Even if Mo Wuji had entered the Nascent God Stage, he would at most be in the elementary stage of it. For a Nascent God Elementary Stage ant to see through their cultivation level? He could only dream about doing that. "Ah¡­" Mo Wuji appeared shocked but didn¡¯t continue saying anything. However, his silence contained more killing intent than a million words. Lan Ou smiled faintly as she grabbed the red robe woman. "Forget it, Huang¡¯Er. Let¡¯s go in first." Having said that, she turned to Mo Wuji once more. "Junior Sister Huang¡¯Er¡¯s words might not be pleasant to the ear but why don¡¯t you think more about her words? Also, we will definitely meet again." Su Xia, who was observing the entire situation, hurried to lead the way as she prepared to bring these four women into the guest¡¯s hall. These four women were supposedly not qualified to enter the guest¡¯s hall. It was only because they came from peak grade sects which was why special arrangements were made for them to be invited to the guest¡¯s hall. Otherwise, they would really invite unnecessary troubles for themselves. "Senior Sister, that person¡¯s spirituality is blur and he clearly has a rubbish aptitude for cultivation. Why do you want him to be an outer disciple at our Forgotten Creek Dao School?" The red robe Huang¡¯Er transmitted a message after leaving Mo Wuji¡¯s sight. Lan Ou replied, "My Forgotten Creek Dao School is a peak grade sect in the entire God Domain. We are a sect not comparable to the Heavenly Mortal Dao Sect which had almost all their resources ruined and wasted. However, when we hosted a ceremony the previous time, did you take a look at the arrangements and set up? It was simply not matching of our renowned name. This Mo Wuji only had like ten helpers and very little resources yet he was able to set up such a scene in a few days. Evidently, he is a master of guest reception. We definitely need a talent like him because this involves the pride of our sect." "That Mo Wuji actually don¡¯t know how to appreciate your kindness. Why don¡¯t we ask Pang Jie directly? I doubt he will reject you." Huang¡¯Er transmitted the message back to her. "Huang¡¯Er, you must not spout nonsense. Senior Pang Jie is after all a God King expert and had his pride as a God King. Remember not to say such words ever again." Lan Ou¡¯s tone became stricter. Huang¡¯Er said disdainfully, "Our Forgotten Creek Dao School has two God Kings. Our supreme lord is already in the advanced God King Stage. So what if he is a God King¡­" Lan Ou could only answer, "Huang¡¯Er, our current strength is miles away from Sect Head Pang Jie¡¯s strength. We are invited to the guest hall not because of our strength but because of the strength of our sects. Therefore, even if we want Mo Wuji, we cannot mention it now. Mentioning it now would be equivalent to slapping the Heavenly Mortal Sect in their face. With Mo Wuji¡¯s capability, he would definitely want to be sent to the God Domain Nest¡¯s incubation. At that point in time, we can ask our sect head to negotiate with God King Pang Jie for the exchange of Mo Wuji for a few items. This was possible as long as we don¡¯t embarrass the Heavenly Mortal Sect too severely." ¡­ Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t understand why the Forgotten Creek Dao School¡¯s Lan Ou must stare at him. Fortunately for him, she didn¡¯t continue pestering him. Now that she had entered the guest¡¯s hall, it would not be his problem to settle anymore. Now that the welcoming ceremony had ended, Mo Wuji¡¯s job was also almost finished. As for the receiving and entertaining of guests, that would be the task of Ancestor Pang Jie and the elders of the sect. He would only need to prepare himself by the side so that he could settle any problems that might appear abruptly. ¡­ After a few days, the reopening ceremony and God King ritual had finally concluded. Even though the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t have much manpower, Mo Wuji¡¯s planning ensured that there were no major issues throughout the ceremony. At least there were still several praises from the public after the ceremony. As the guests started departing the sect, Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Shi Su started recruiting new disciples on the Heavenly Mortal Plaza. Mo Wuji was the External Affairs Hall Lord so the recruitment of disciples had nothing to do with him. Just as he was about to return to cultivate, Ancestor Pang Jie personally called him over. "Wuji, please take a seat first. You have done a very good job for the guest reception this time around. If I were to do it, I might not have done a job as great as you. This was especially so in your treatment of the low grade disciples of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Nine Evolutions God Sect and Moonlight God Sect. I¡¯ve not misjudged you because not only are you extremely capable in comprehending issues, you have extraordinary abilities." The instant Mo Wuji reached Pang Jie¡¯s residence, Pang Jie started talking. Mo Wuji replied calmly, "This is all because of Ancestor Pang¡¯s prestige which attracted so many experts here to observe the ceremony." Pang Jie exclaimed, "You were in charge of reception so you should have realised that other than the Godly Grain Valley¡¯s Elder, none of the big sects came. The few disciples of the big sects were merely passing by so they decided to join the ceremony coincidentally. Wei Zheng God King was also the only God King who came and he was a rogue cultivator who had a good relationship with us since a long time ago. Wuji, do you know why?" "Disciple does not know why." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know why Pang Jie was telling him these. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji was only an ordinary disciple who would have no qualification to discuss such matters with Ancestor Pang Jie. "Many years ago, almost all the big sects, except the Godly Grain Valley and a few sects who were located further away, came to rob my Heavenly Mortal Sect. If there wasn¡¯t a rule which prevented God Kings from plotting against or attacking each other, someone might have came to assassinate me already." Pang Jie didn¡¯t continue as he looked at Mo Wuji, "I want to help you find a master and that is God King Wei Zheng. God King Wei Zheng had a wide collection of sacred arts and was in the God King Intermediate Stage. If you¡¯re willing to accept God King Wei Zheng as your master, I will do my best to help you cleanse your spiritual roots." When Mo Wuji heard that Pang Jie was finding a master for him, he stood up anxiously. "Many thanks Ancestor but even though I have an average aptitude, my speed of cultivation is still decent. Moreover, I have my own technique so I don¡¯t intend to take anyone as my master." Pang Jie was shocked because he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to reject his offer. Logically speaking, such a good offer wouldn¡¯t be rejected no matter who the person was. As he recalled that Ku Cai had also rejected his offer to take her as his disciple, Pang Jie couldn¡¯t help but feel agonised. Fortunately, Pang Jie was open minded and kind as he didn¡¯t mind Mo Wuji¡¯s rejection. He sighed and said, "Wuji, I know you have a low aptitude. I hold you in high regard because you are inspirational and is capable of supervising and managing. Even though you had the lowest cultivation level, you are still able to lead a group of senior brothers and sisters in getting the reception job done. The truth was that after I become a God King, it wasn¡¯t impossible for the Heavenly Mortal Sect to recruit a few peak grade talents. However, my Heavenly Mortal Sect would still need a leader within the disciples. If your spiritual roots could be cleanse, I intend to make you that leader. Also, for the God Domain Nest Incubation which would happen soon, I intend to let you lead a group of our Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s newly recruited disciples over." Mo Wuji inwardly praised the good temper of God King Pang Jie as he stood up and bowed. "Ancestor, I, Mo Wuji, am already a disciple of the Heavenly Mortal Sect so I would definitely do my best for the sect. As for the cleansing of my spiritual roots, I would like to search for that possibility in the incubating God Domain Nest myself." Looking at how convincing Mo Wuji sounded, Pang Jie could only say, "Since that is the case, go back and cultivate then. As for cultivation resources, you can collect them from Elder Hui Yu. After the sect is completely rebuilt, you can choose a mountain for yourself." Chapter 900: Held In High Regard Chapter 900: Held In High Regard Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though Pang Jie told Mo Wuji that he could collect cultivation resources, Mo Wuji didn''t go to collect them. After all, Pang Jie was considered one of the Heavenly Mortal''s ancestors so he must have some good items on him. After reopening the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he had barely managed to rebuild the Heavenly Mortal Scripture Library. Mo Wuji didn''t collect cultivation resources and also didn''t cultivate for the time being. He spent all his available time at the scriptures library. As the scripture library was just built up, any ordinary disciples could go in to look for materials regarding techniques. This was even without any contribution to the sect. The reason was that the sect contribution system had yet to be in place at this point in time. As the External Affairs Hall Lord and also a future Mountain Lord, he would naturally have the rights to be reading in the entire scriptures library. Because he had just arrived at the God Domain not too long ago, Mo Wuji was still unsure of many things in the God Domain. In fact, he didn''t even recognise any of the god spiritual herbs here. Although the scriptures library only had a portion of the scriptures kept by Pang Jie after the attack on the sect, it was sufficient for Mo Wuji. In fact, Pang Jie managed to retain quite a lot of items. Other than a few peak grade techniques which he didn''t display, there were some reading notes regarding the God Domain, some ordinary techniques and even a full range of introduction and explanation to the cultivation in the God Domain. As for the introduction of arrays, talismans, god spiritual herbs and all sorts of peak grade materials, Mo Wuji placed quite a bit of emphasis on them. Three months later when Mo Wuji had almost finished reading most of the techniques and introductions, Su Xia entered. She told Mo Wuji that all 108 god mountains of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were finally put in place. Additionally, the Sect Head had personally installed a grand array over the sect. She came to inform him to choose the god mountain he preferred. The Sect Head was truly very kind to Mo Wuji. Despite Mo Wuji''s limited cultivation, the Sect Head still gave Mo Wuji quite a bit of privilege. Not only was he able to enter the Heavenly Mortal Scripture Library casually, he was also able to choose any god mountain he favored. In other words, Mo Wuji could choose any god mountain he liked except for the main mountain. The Heavenly Mortal Sect had only just been rebuilt and even though it had 108 god mountains, many of them were there to serve as a stopgap for the time being. By letting Mo Wuji choose, he was simply gifting Mo Wuji with the best god mountain possible. Mo Wuji was already very pleased with this arrangement. However, after the sect''s Assignments Hall was built up, Mo Wuji''s External Affairs Hall Lord token had an immediate increase of 1,000,000 sect contribution points. These 1,000,000 contribution points were equivalent to future cultivation resources. He could also use these to exchange for anything in the sect. After hearing about this, Mo Wuji was really appreciative of Ancestor Pang Jie''s generosity towards him. Having read for a few months worth of scriptures, Mo Wuji had a new understanding towards the God Domain''s cultivation. He was about to start incorporating this understanding into his Immortal Mortal Technique. Concurrently, he would help Ku Cai alter her cultivation technique too. Now that the sect offered him a god mountain, he would naturally not reject it. However, he didn''t choose a good mountain as he chose an isolated one. He named it the Mortal Mountain and it would be where he cultivates. After the emergence of a God King and the mass recruitment of disciples, the Heavenly Mortal Sect was no longer like when Mo Wuji and co. first joined. The entire sect appeared to have a flourishing energy surrounding it. ¡­ In the Heavenly Mortal Sect''s hall, Ancestor Pang Jie, Sect Head Shi Su and the various elders were all gathered here. After the reconstruction of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, there were few experts within the sect itself. Other than God King Pang Jie himself, there wasn''t even another World God around. Below Pang Jie, Shi Su''s cultivation was the highest among everyone else. Even so, he was also only in the God Monarch Intermediate Stage. Among the newly recruited disciples, the strongest talent was only in the Heavenly God Stage. Usually, sects in God Domain wouldn''t be able to recruit Heavenly God disciples. However, Heavenly Mortal Sect was able to recruit a few. This was even despite the Heavenly Mortal Sect''s previous fall. After Pang Jie and co. sat down, Pang Jie addressed. "My Heavenly Mortal Sect had been through supreme glory and also the lowest of dire straits. In fact, we were almost exterminated. Fortunately for our Heavenly Mortal Sect, we had a bit of luck and I managed to enter the ranks of a God King. Over the few months, we managed to recruit disciples and I would consider it a successful recruitment. I could tell that everyone treated this place as their home and had all our hearts devoted to improving the sect. I want to talk about a few unrelated matters now. According to what I know, there is an unknown number of places similar to our God Domain in the vast and boundless universe. Any planet domain, regardless of how rich it was in terms of cultivation resources, would eventually delve into dullness and loneliness after countless years. The God Domain is indeed a boundless place but no matter how boundless the place was, overexpansion of the place would always end in the exhaustion of cultivation resources. This was of course except for the restricted places or places where men are incapable of leaving a footprint." Pang Jie paused as he sighed. Frankly speaking, when Pang Jie saw the 99 concealed peak grade god spiritual veins underground, he was incomparably shocked at the hidden wealth of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. One must know that if a sect had even one peak grade god spiritual vein, they would already be considered wealthy. Many peak grade sects would only have a few of these peak grade spiritual veins. A person like God King Wei Zheng, who would generously present a peak grade spiritual vein as a gift, was incredibly rare. However, rumours spread that almost every peak grade god sect in the ancient times would have at least 100 peak grade god spiritual veins. Even sects with over 1000 god spiritual veins were nothing surprising. Pang Jie raised his voice. "The difference between our God Domain and the other planet''s domain would be that our God Domain Nest could incubate. Occasionally, our God Domain would be able to expand our area and this expanded area often consists of many unexpected treasures. The main reason for the emergence of some God Kings after a period of time would be because we had a foundation like this. Now that the God Domain Nest is about to incubate once more and my Heavenly Mortal Sect had just been rebuilt, we have to head over. Not only must we go over, we must fight for more disciples of our Heavenly Mortal Sect to enter the God Domain Nest early. For the God Domain Nest this time around, I shall personally lead the way. External Affairs Hall Lord, Mo Wuji, shall be in charge of the disciples. Shi Su, has Hall Lord Wuji moved into his new mountain?" Shi Su stood up quickly to reply, "Hall Lord Wuji had already chosen his god mountain and had moved into it. The mountain was named as Mortal Mountain and he should be in seclusion now." Pang Jie nodded and as he was about to continue, Shi Su commented. "Master, Hall Lord Wuji might be capable but his aptitude is simply¡­" Shi Su didn''t continue his words but everyone knew what he meant. Pang Jie looked across the hall as he said in a calm tone. "I believe everyone thinks that I gave Wuji a god mountain of his own and even assigned him to be the External Affairs Hall Lord because he did well in hosting the ceremony previously right?" Nobody spoke but their expression indicated this belief. Pang Jie explained. "If we were to compare the love for our sect, I believe everyone loves the Heavenly Mortal Sect as much as myself. In fact, I know that everyone would even sacrifice our lives for it. But I have to be completely honest when I say that even Shi Su and Pang Fengban would only be ordinary disciples of our sect. If the sect was at its golden age and flourishing, this would be a good thing. However, now that our sect is rebuilding and would face strong wind and rain, we need someone capable to defend the wind and rain for us." Even though everyone wanted to refute to say that Mo Wuji still had a poor aptitude, nobody dared to talk back while Ancestor Pang Jie was speaking. Pang Jie continue. "I agree that Wuji''s aptitude is very ordinary now. Nevertheless, I believe that before he transformed his spiritual roots, he should be one of the top in terms of aptitude. Even one with the peak grade¡­" Everyone exchanged glances doubtfully as Pang Jie explained further. "Wuji''s bones are very young and even though I didn''t check it, I believe the age of his bones wouldn''t exceed 10,000 years. It might even be much lower than what I thought. How poor could his aptitude be if he could reach the Nascent God Stage in less than 10,000 years? The problem should have been when he was transforming his spiritual roots into god spiritual roots. This should be why his peak grade spiritual roots turned bad. In the incubation of the God Domain Nest this time around, as long as we find a magic treasure to help cleanse his spiritual roots, don''t you think Wuji will have a tremendous future ahead of him?" "Many thanks master for your explanation. Disciple understands it now." Shi Su and co. seemed to have finally understood the Ancestor''s intentions and hard work. Pang Jie smiled slightly, "There is also one more point which I believe none of you managed to pick up. When I developed a killing intent to Ku Cai, only Mo Wuji stood up. For a newly recruited disciple with poor aptitude, doesn''t he know that standing up against a God King would mean death? Even so, he stood up so what does this prove? This shows his resolute and that he would go all out to safeguard a junior sister which he barely knows. With a character like this, he would never betray the Heavenly Mortal Sect as long as we treat him sincerely." ¡­ After Mo Wuji settled Ku Cai''s cultivation technique, he was indulged in his own cultivation. He felt that as long as he was using his Immortal Mortal Technique, he would be able to absorb that incomparably dense god spiritual energy which contained the laws of Heaven and Earth. In the Heavenly Mortal Sect, his cultivation progress was extraordinarily rapid. Five months flashed by and Mo Wuji had completely stabilised himself in the Nascent God Level 1. After entering the Nascent God Stage, no matter how quickly he managed to absorb god spiritual energy, entering the Nascent God Stage Level 2 was still very long away. Today, while Mo Wuji was absorbing wildly, the restrictions he installed around his Mortal Mountain was disrupted. Mo Wuji stopped his cultivation as he opened the restriction. To his surprise, Sect Head Shi Su came personally to visit him. Since Sect Head Shi Su was here, he hurried out to welcome him. "Haha, Hall Lord Wuji, I guessed I have disrupted your cultivation?" Before he even entered, Shi Su was chuckling. Mo Wuji replied, "No, I was about to head out for a walk coincidentally. Why has the Sect Head come to visit me?" As he spoke, Mo Wuji had already guided Shi Su into this own guest hall in his immortal residence. As Shi Su stopped Mo Wuji from pouring immortal tea, Shi Su said, "Wuji ah, you should know about the incubation of the God Domain Nest right?" "Yes, I do." Mo Wuji nodded because he recalled Ancestor Pang Jie mentioning about it. He would naturally not let an opportunity like this slip by. "Previously when the God Domain Nest incubates, our Heavenly Mortal Sect would only be there to make up the numbers. Now that Ancestor is back, our Heavenly Mortal Sect would no longer be there for the sake of being there. The time of incubation is not certain yet but regardless, our Heavenly Mortal Sect would be heading out three days later. Have you prepared yourself?" Shi Su said with a faint tone. Chapter 901: Someone Is Unhappy Chapter 901: Someone Is Unhappy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was also interested in heading to the God Domain Nest. While he had 108 meridians and had access to peak grade god spiritual energy in the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he knew that it was impossible to break through to the next stage so quickly. Rumours spread that there were peak grade treasures after the incubation so Mo Wuji would naturally not want to miss out. "Sect Head, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. Three days later, I will bring the sect¡¯s disciples over to the God Domain punctually." Mo Wuji said convincingly. "Since that is the case, I shall make my move first. Do prepare yourself too." Shi Su stood up as he was rather satisfied with Mo Wuji thus far. Just like how his master described, Mo Wuji¡¯s innate character and capabilities were all extraordinary. The only drawback was his poor aptitude for cultivation. The most likely cause of this problem should be during the spiritual roots transformation. ¡­ Three days later, Mo Wuji brought Ku Cai into the plaza of the sect. At this moment, there was already a massive flying ship stopped in the middle of the plaza. It was about ten times more impressive and glamorous than the flying ship that brought him here. There were at least over hundreds of people on the plaza. However, Mo Wuji only recognised a mere tens of people there. "Wuji, why did you bring Ku Cai along?" Shi Su was also on the plaza and when he spotted Ku Cai, he hurried over to question. Mo Wuji whispered, "Sect Head, Ku Cai had already advanced into the Nascent God Stage. Her dark spiritual roots will not reveal itself even during the spiritual roots test." Mo Wuji was also very impressed by Ku Cai¡¯s progress. With his 108 meridians, his rate of cultivation was definitely considered rapid. From the Cultivation World to the Immortal World, he really hadn¡¯t seen a few cultivators with a faster rate than his. Back then, Murong Xiangyu¡¯s progress was only faster than his because she had the few pages of the Book of Luo. Otherwise, Mo Wuji was certain than Murong Xiangyu¡¯s cultivation would definitely not surpass him. However, Ku Cai¡¯s rate of cultivation was really frightening. In just half a year, Ku Cai was able to conceal her dark elemental energy as well as taking a step into the Nascent God Stage. Presently, Ku Cai was already in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage Level 1. On the other hand, Mo Wuji had barely been able to stabilise his cultivation at Nascent God Stage Level 1. "Ah, really?" Shi Su asked emotionally. Following that, Ancestor Pang Jie transmitted a message over. "Wuji, Ku Cai really managed to conceal her dark spiritual roots while being in the Nascent God Stage? This matter mustn¡¯t be taken lightly because if anything were to happen outside, our Heavenly Mortal Sect would be in trouble." Mo Wuji walked over and bowed to Pang Jie, who was coincidentally nearby. "Ancestor, it is indeed true." Pang Jie nodded before saying to Ku Cai. "You follow me up to the flying ship for the test." "Yes, Ancestor." Ku Cai answered promptly. After Pang Jie brought Ku Cai away, Shi Su brought Mo Wuji to the crowd of disciples before saying with a clear voice. "This is the External Affairs Hall Lord Mo Wuji who is currently residing in the Mortal Mountain. He would be the Head Disciple of our Heavenly Mortal Sect during this trip to the God Domain Nest. Just like how Mo Wuji didn¡¯t recognise many of them, only some of the disciples in the crowd could recognise Mo Wuji. Other than the few disciples who knew Mo Wuji beforehand, the rest of the disciples merely expressed their welcome pretentiously. Evidently, they could tell from Mo Wuji¡¯s faint dao spirituality that he was only able to become the External Affairs Hall Lord because of connections. "Sect Head, why is our sect sending so many disciples over?" Mo Wuji looked shockingly at the hundreds of disciple standing on the plaza. Shi Su revealed a bitter smile. "49 disciples will be heading over this time around but it will be 50 including Ku Cai. My Heavenly Mortal Sect had just been rebuilt and even though we managed to recruit quite a few decent disciples, the time period was simply too short. I doubt we will be able to gain any advantage in the fight for the God Domain Nest. Ai¡­" Everyone knew the importance of the God Domain Nest. However, the fight for it was not something a single God King could resolve. Mo Wuji looked around and noticed that there were a few disciples in the Nascent God Stage Level 8 and 9. Even so, Mo Wuji was able to empathise with Shi Su¡¯s helplessness. These Nascent God Stage Level 8 and 9 experts had clearly not cultivated much in the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Just like Yin Lin and Di Butong, they were probably already in the Nascent God Stage Level 7 when they joined the sect. A strength like this might seem decent on first look but when compared to the talented disciples from the bigger sects, there was really nothing they could do. Very soon, Wei Jie announced the orders of Ancestor Pang Jie that all the disciples heading towards the God Domain Nest could board the ship now. The team leading the Heavenly Mortal Sect were Pang Jie, Mo Wuji and Elder Wei Jie. Sect Head Shi Su and the remaining elders only came to send them off. After Mo Wuji boarded the flying ship, Ku Cai had returned to his side too. Her face was full of smiles as her dark spiritual roots were clearly hidden well in the test Pang Jie did for her. Among the 50 disciples including Mo Wuji and Ku Cai, Yin Lin and Di Butong were also in it. This made Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of the Heavenly Mortal Sect much more favorable once more. This proved that the Heavenly Mortal Sect respected their relationship with their disciples. In terms of strength, Yin Lin and Di Butong should never have been chosen to enter the God Domain Nest. He also made it into the group only because he was slightly capable in managing events. In fact, he was even rewarded with the title of ¡®Head Disciple¡¯. Now, even Ku Cai was allowed to join them for this trip. Once the flying ship started moving off, Wei Jie called out for all the disciples heading towards the God Domain Nest. Wei Jie was originally a falsifier but other than Mo Wuji and co. not many of the newer disciples knew what he had done. To the other disciples, they only knew Wei Jie as an elder of the sect; a very old and qualified type of elder. This was the reason why the crowd of disciples acted very discipline when Wei Jie was talking. Wei Jie nodded his head with a stern look on his face. "All of you are very fortunate because not every sect would have a God King to accompany their disciples to the God Domain. But all of you have the luck and honour of the very best." Wei Jie was truly capable of hoaxing people with good words. With a few sentences like this, all the disciples here started feeling proud and thankful. Wei Jie nodded satisfyingly, "From today onwards, Mo Wuji will be your Da Shixiong[1] and you can report everything to Wuji. If Wuji is unable to settle any problems, I will step out to help. Alright, the journey including transfers to the God Domain Nest will take months so please go and rest up." Having said that, Wei Jie simply waved his hand casually before heading straight back to the ship¡¯s cabin. A few friendlier or slightly weaker disciples came forward to greet Mo Wuji. Despite the fact that Da Shixiong, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level was below them, Wei Jie had already mentioned he would be the one leading the group of them. They had only joined the sect for a few months so they naturally wouldn¡¯t go against the instructions of an elder. "Wuji, I know that you¡¯ve joined the sect several months earlier than the few of us. According to the order, you are indeed our senior brother. However, as our Heavenly Mortal Sect aspires to become a peak grade sect, only the strong can lead the way. I hope to ¡®consult¡¯ Hall Lord Mo and if I lose, I will definitely regard you as Da Shixiong and listen to you." Not everyone would obey Elder Wei Jie¡¯s words and the moment Wei Jie left, a tall built young man stood out. Even though Mo Wuji was only in the Nascent God Stage Level 1, he could tell that this fella should be in the Nascent God Stage Level 9. Mo Wuji sighed because none of the original disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect would make such comments. After the mass recruitment, the close friendship and bond between members of the sect disappeared gradually. In the fight for benefits and authority, everyone lost the most precious and valuable spirit of the sect. "What is your name?" Mo Wuji asked faintly. Mo Wuji was well aware that Elder Wei Jie wasn¡¯t the one who made the decision for him to lead the group of disciples. It was Pang Jie and he knew that he must not give away this title of Da Shixiong so easily. It would not only disappoint Pang Jie but also suffer a huge loss in terms of his own benefits. If he were to lead the group and the Heavenly Mortal Sect was only awarded one slot to enter the God Domain Nest, he might have that opportunity to enter. If he gave away this opportunity to lead the group, he would simply be giving the chance to enter the God Domain Nest away. Ever since Mo Wuji cultivated his dao, he knew of the logic to grasp chances when it came. "I am Disciple Pu Yin of the Main Mountain. May Hall Lord Mo show me your way." The tall man walked out as he clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji. However, he didn¡¯t draw any magic treasure. Because the Heavenly Mortal Sect had just been reopened, all the other disciples resided in the Main Mountain. Mo Wuji was the only disciple who had his own mountain. After a specific period of time, there would be grand competition in the sect. After that, the many disciples would then be split into the various God Mountains taken care of the various Mountain Lords. The Heavenly Mortal Sect doesn¡¯t have a lot of Mountain Lords so all these disciples here could become a Mountain Lord like Mo Wuji in the future.. Because Pu Yin knew that Mo Wuji was also a disciple and while he was already a Mountain Lord, his status wasn¡¯t much higher than the rest. In terms of cultivation level, Mo Wuji¡¯s one was not even comparable to his own. Simultaneously, he heard that Mo Wuji was chosen to become a Mountain Lord not because of his aptitude but because he knew how to host a guest reception. In Pu Yin¡¯s eyes, events like guest reception are jobs for the service disciples, the lower class disciples. Previously, the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t have any lions so even the monkey dared to address themselves as the overlord. He, Pu Yin, was much better in every aspect when compared to Mo Wuji. This was why he dared to step out to challenge Mo Wuji¡¯s position. With his current ability, Pu Yin was certain that he would also become one of the Mountain Lord in the near future. Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes landed on the other disciples before asking calmly. "Anyone else, like Junior Brother Pu Yin, feels unsatisfied with me being your Da Shixiong?" Hearing that Mo Wuji continued calling him junior brother so unhesitatingly, Pu Yin¡¯s anger started surging from within. A red robe woman stood out with her fists clasped, "Hall Lord Mo, I am Main Mountain¡¯s Disciple Dan Ya. We are all in awe of Hall Lord Mo¡¯s capability in hosting the guest reception for our God King well. However, I still feel that Senior Brother Pu Yin¡¯s words are also true. The God Domain Nest is not a children¡¯s playground and we would be going there to fight. Senior Brother Pu Yin is in the Nascent God Stage Level 9 so I feel more certain with him." Dan Ya looked very pretty with a nice figure and clear voice. Her cultivation level was also not weak as she was at the Nascent God Stage Level 8. Just as Dan Ya finished speaking, yet another disciple stood out. He was a short and fat fella in the Nascent God Stage Level 5. He spoke while smiling, "I am Main Mountain¡¯s Disciple Jiao Xiangqi. I also believe that Senior Brother Pu Yin¡¯s words are true and just like what Senior Sister Dan Ya mentioned, we are not going there to play¡­" [1]: Da Shixiong also refers to Big Senior Brother if everyone remembers from very long ago. Chapter 902: Fear of Battle Chapter 902: Fear of Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations From within the ship¡¯s cabin, Wei Jie stood respectfully in front of Pang Jie. "Ancestor, these newly recruited disciples don¡¯t look like they are willing to obey or comply with Mo Wuji. From the looks of it, it seemed like they¡¯re going to fight. Should I go ahead and berate them?" Pang Jie replied faintly, "Previously, the group of disciples at our sect were all amiable with each other because our sect was still rather obscured. Now that our sect is going to expand, there had to be competition. As long as nobody dies, we shouldn¡¯t need to intervene when disciples have disputes. A sect like a pool of stagnant water would never progress far." "But Mo Wuji would at most be in the Nascent God Stage Level 3 and with very poor aptitude. That Pu Yin is a talented boy and is already in the Nascent God Stage Level 9. If they really fought, Mo Wuji might not be his match ah¡­" Wei Jie answered anxiously. Up till now, he was still very satisfied with Mo Wuji¡¯s performance in the sect. It wasn¡¯t just because Mo Wuji was personally recruited by him. More importantly, Mo Wuji¡¯s handling of the sect¡¯s guest reception didn¡¯t lose the aura of a great sect which the Heavenly Mortal Sect used to have. Pang Jie shook his hand, "I hold Mo Wuji¡¯s ability in high regard and I know he is definitely not a match for Pu Yin. However, he and Pu Yin are both in the Nascent God Stage. While one of them is in Level 1 and the other in Level 9, they are after all, still in the same stage. If he wasn¡¯t able to convince Pu Yin, who was in the same stage as himself, he shall remain as just an External Affairs Hall Lord forever." "Yes, Ancestor." Wei Jie answered promptly but his heart was still feeling uneasy. This dispute appeared like it had to be settled with a battle but how was Mo Wuji supposed to convince Pu Yin and co. if he can¡¯t fight? Even Wei Jie, a talent at speaking and reasoning, wouldn¡¯t be able to convince them if he were in Mo Wuji¡¯s shoes. ¡­ Because of Mo Wuji¡¯s question as to who else was also unsatisfied with him being the Da Shixiong, Dan Ya and Jiao Xiangqi stood out in support of Pu Yin. Following which, a lot more people stood out to Pu Yin¡¯s side. Evidently, Mo Wuji¡¯s words had seemingly lifted a rock off everyone¡¯s feet. Eventually, only about nine people remained on Mo Wuji¡¯s side. These nine people included Ku Cai, Di Butong, Yin Lin and Mo Wuji himself. In other words, among the newly recruited disciples, only 5 of them agreed for Mo Wuji to be their Da Shixiong. Out of the 5 disciples, four were already on Mo Wuji¡¯s side as they came over to greet Mo Wuji initially. If they knew that Mo Wuji would have so little votes, they might be regretful about coming over from the start." Pu Yin turned to the 30 plus people behind him as he clasped his fists and said, "Many thanks fellow junior brothers and sisters for supporting me, Pu Yin. I will definitely not let everyone down." Having said that, Pu Yin turned back to face Mo Wuji. "Hall Lord Mo, if we are going to play, I wouldn¡¯t fight with Hall Lord Mo for the opportunity to lead everyone. However, we¡¯re going to the God Domain Nest and it concerns the future of our Heavenly Mortal Sect so I, Pu Yin, have no choice but to fight. This is because I am a member of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Even if Elder Wei Jie came down to blame me, I will admit what I¡¯ve done. When we are back from the God Domain Nest, I will naturally return this position back to Hall Lord Mo." If Pu Yin didn¡¯t mention the last sentence, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t mind everything that he had said. With might comes respect, Mo Wuji was already used to this logic. However, by adding that last sentence, Mo Wuji knew instantly that this Pu Yin is a hypocrite. He sneered in his heart because now that this matter had been blown up, how could Elder Wei Jie not know about it? Unless Elder Wei Jie was an idiot of course. The reason why Pu Yin¡¯s tone could become stricter was because he already knew of Elder Wei Jie¡¯s tacit approval. Who would actually believe that he would give up on the Da Shixiong¡¯s title when they returned? "Senior Brother Pu Yin is certainly noble and benevolent that Junior Sister Dan Ya is full of admiration." After that speech by Pu Yin, Dan Ya¡¯s clear and crisp voice could be heard once more. Following Dan Ya¡¯s praise was the compliments of the other disciples. Pu Yin had already said everything he needed to say so everyone was basically staring at Mo Wuji now. As long as Mo Wuji agreed to the battle against Pu Yin, the outcome wouldn¡¯t change. If Mo Wuji fought against Pu Yin and Mo Wuji lost, Pu Yin would be the legitimate Da Shixiong. If Pu Yin lost¡­ Ah, Senior Brother Pu Yin was in the Nascent God Stage Level 9 and also a peak grade genius so how could he lose? Mo Wuji replied faintly, "Junior Brother Pu Yin, I will not fight against you. My Heavenly Mortal Sect emphasise on love and respect between members. My blade is only meant for enemies, not for my sect mate¡­" The instant Mo Wuji¡¯s words were heard, everyone started discussing as disdainful eyes fell onto Mo Wuji¡¯s body. Not pointing of the blade towards sect mates? He must have known that he wasn¡¯t a match for Pu Yin which was why he decided to avoid the battle. Even more people shook their heads because the sect actually recruited a coward to be their Da Shixiong? If Senior Brother Pu Yin didn¡¯t step out, how many people were they going to lose in the God Domain Nest? Everyone standing behind Mo Wuji except Ku Cai were all disappointed at Mo Wuji¡¯s lack of courage to accept a fight. Even if Mo Wuji were to lose, it would be better than avoiding a fight altogether. At least he had the courage to stand up against a fight instead of acting like a coward. Only Ku Cai knew how powerful Big Brother Wuji was. For whatever reason Mo Wuji was avoiding the fight, she was convinced that Mo Wuji was not a coward. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart because he really didn¡¯t bother about what these people had to say. Even though he was in the Nascent God Stage Level 1 and Pu Yin was in the Nascent God Stage Level 9, Mo Wuji was confident he could get rid of Pu Yin. This was entirely based on the confidence he had of himself. But killing Pu Yin was simply too unrealistic. His Spiritual Will Arrow, Wheel of Life and Death and Seven World Fingers were all peak grade sacred arts. Why would he execute these sacred arts if he had no intention to kill someone? Moreover, he noticed that Pu Yin was in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage Level 9 and was already near a breakthrough in terms of his understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth. If he were to fight Pu Yin and executed these sacred arts, he had 60% confidence that he could let Pu Yin gain new enlightenment from the realms of life and death on new laws of sacred arts. This was, of course, if Mo Wuji doesn¡¯t kill off Pu Yin. Why should he help Pu Yin for no apparent reasons? If not for the fact that executing his peak grade sacred arts or the Four Halberd Strikes would help Pu Yin gain new enlightenment on sacred art dao spirituality, Mo Wuji would have accepted his challenge. Even though the Four Halberd Strikes were slightly weaker, Mo Wuji was still unwilling to help Pu Yin. Because he wasn¡¯t going to kill Pu Yin, there would be loopholes in his sacred art. With loopholes like that, Pu Yin would definitely be able to grasp it. The closer he is to death, the easier it would be for Pu Yin to gain enlightenment. Mo Wuji was different from others because his sacred arts were self-created. Now that he had entered the Nascent God Stage Level 1, all sorts of dao spirituality would be the clearest if he attacked. "Hall Lord Mo really knows how to disappoint me." Pu Yin shook his head as his tone brought along a strong sense of disappointment. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind as he turned to the people behind him, "If the few of you are willing to trust Junior Brother Pu Yin, you can head over there too." Even though two of them hesitated for a while, but all eight of them remained where they were. None of these recruited disciples were foolish. If they were to stand on the other side from the very beginning, nobody would complain. If they were to switch places now, they would offend both Mo Wuji and the future Da Shixiong Pu Yin. After all, they didn¡¯t choose Senior Brother Pu Yin from the start. Noticing that nobody went over, Mo Wuji said with a clear voice. "From today onwards, I will bring the eight of you along with me while Junior Brother Pu Yin can lead the people behind him. As for whether we would be able to obtain opportunities in the God Domain Nest, we would have to depend on everyone¡¯s ability. After the God Domain Nest concluded, I would welcome those who want to join my Mortal Mountain. Alright, this matter has come to an end. Everyone, please rest well in your cabins." By saying such words, Mo Wuji was equivalent to admitting that Pu Yin¡¯s snatch of leadership was half completed. Many of the disciples could imagine that the Head Disciple of the sect after returning from the God Domain Nest would be Pu Yin. Pu Yin smiled faintly as he said to Mo Wuji. "Hall Lord Mo is indeed capable. Since that is the case, I shall not accept this responsibility willingly." After saying that, he turned to the crowd of disciples behind him once more. "Thank you, everyone for having faith in me. We would definitely need some luck and fate in the God Domain Nest but I believe strength is more important." He acted as though Mo Wuji had agreed to hand over the responsibility of a Da Shixiong. "We support Senior Brother Pu!" The cheers of the crowd were twice as loud. Mo Wuji¡¯s backing down allowed Pu Yin to gain everyone¡¯s approval. ¡­ "Senior Brother Mo, why didn¡¯t you fight with him? At the very most, you could still afford to lose." After entering the cabin, Yin Lin was still slightly unhappy with the outcome. She was full of admiration for Mo Wuji. Despite Mo Wuji¡¯s lack of courage to fight, she had personally witnessed Mo Wuji¡¯s ability. Pu Yin might be stronger than Mo Wuji but if Pu Yin were to host the guest reception, she was confident that Pu Yin wouldn¡¯t be able to do what Mo Wuji did. ¡®Indeed, I really can¡¯t wait to teach that fella a lesson. The pity was that I am also not a match for him." Di Butong also commented unhappily. Mo Wuji chuckled as his eyes landed on that slightly fatter young man. "What is your name?" "In reply to Da Shixiong, my name is Zhu[1]." The slightly fatter man bowed. Pig? Fortunately, Mo Wuji reacted quickly and realised that his name was Zhu, not pig. This person named Zhu was the only person who walked through the crowd of people to support Mo Wuji. This was during the period when support for Pu Yin was unrivaled. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t question why Zhu wasn¡¯t like the rest as he simply said. "There are still a few more months before our destination. Everyone, focus on your cultivation and I shall head back in to cultivate too." ¡­ Wei Jie returned back to the Ancestor¡¯s room as he bowed. "Ancestor, do you think we made a mistake? That Mo Wuji actually backed out from a fight. Even though he didn¡¯t directly say that he had given up on the position of a Da Shixiong, his performance somehow implied that." Pang Jie revealed a slight smile as he shook his hand, "Don¡¯t worry about this. Go back and cultivate because your cultivation level is still too poor." "Yes." Wei Jie didn¡¯t dare to speak much as he hurried away. Pang Jie¡¯s eyes landed on Pu Yin, who was addressing the crowd of disciples. He shook his head because he felt that Pu Yin was far too obsessive with utilising people. While Pang Jie was also slightly disappointed at how Mo Wuji chose to resolve this dispute, he knew that Mo Wuji only did that because he was helpless. In his eyes, Mo Wuji would at most be only in the Nascent God Stage Level 1 and was definitely not in Level 3. For an ordinary disciple to fight against a Nascent God Stage Level 9 genius disciple, it was simply asking too much of Mo Wuji. However, he wasn¡¯t convinced that Mo Wuji backed out because he was scared. Mo Wuji had even stood up for Ku Cai in front of him so why would he be afraid of one Pu Yin? Chapter 903: Suspicion Of An Immortal Swindler Chapter 903: Suspicion Of An Immortal Swindler Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations For the next four months, they had been constantly changing between travelling on the flying ship and transfer arrays. Just as everyone was complaining about how far away the God Domain Nest was, the flying ship came to a halt on an extremely grand plaza together with the other ships. While some of the flying ships were magic treasures which could be kept away, many others were those massive flying ship which were unable to be kept. There were a great number of shophouses and rest houses on the plaza. Therefore, Mo Wuji lost count of the number of people passing by here. Initially, Mo Wuji thought that this would be an extremely big cultivation city or city square. After descending from the flying ship, he realised that the average cultivation city or city square would definitely not be of such large scale. Mo Wuji had no idea how long the continuous stretch of shophouses extended for while towering buildings were seen one after the other. The most worthless thing here seemed to be the land as even the narrowest path were a few metres wide. One more difference between this place and a god city was that there were almost no god restrictions here. Other than the individual shophouses which had their own arrays, the entire street seemed boundless and the spiritual will had a panoramic view of everything. Looking at all the shocked expressions of the disciples, Wei Jie said proudly. "Haven¡¯t been to the God Domain Nest before right? The one thing this place doesn¡¯t lack was land. Anybody, as long as you¡¯re willing, could set up a shophouse or immortal residence at the periphery of this place. This was why the people here ranged from God Kings to even mortals with their spiritual roots wasted." Yin Lin whispered, "Could this really be the God Domain Nest? Why is it look like a levelled wilderness?" Pu Yin chuckled, "Junior Sister Yin Lin wouldn¡¯t have known of it since you¡¯ve not heard it before. This is indeed the God Domain Nest but this was the area of the God Domain Nest which was incubated a long time ago. The incubated God Domain Nest would be searched over and over again so even the most concealed underground treasures would be dug away. Even so, there were countless treasures being found. This was because the periphery space around the God Domain Nest would be incubated and everytime it incubates, it would add on from the original foundation of this place. Following incubations after incubations, there was an increase number of treasures found here so even more people gathered here. Gradually, it had turned into what you see today. Even the most uneven places would have been even off by people. However, everyone has a share to this place and while you can build immortal residences here, you cannot mark out your territory. This was also why there are no signs of any huge arrays in place here." Pu Yin clearly knew a lot about this place and he had been constantly explaining and describing everything to everyone. Mo Wuji also found out from his words that no matter how many times the God Domain Nest was searched, there would still be some undiscovered treasures. With Ancestor Pang Jie leading the way, Mo Wuji and the group of disciples travelled past the business district into the sect gathering district. Even though no signs of strong spiritual will swept across them, the instant Mo Wuji entered the sect gathering district, he could feel an oppressive aura. He could clearly feel that in this district, there were far too many experts around. At the periphery of the biggest plaza in the sect gathering district, Mo Wuji noticed the God Domain Nest Dao Discussion Plaza, God Domain Nest Battle Plaza and many other plazas. In the area further into the sect gathering district, Mo Wuji noticed the signboards of even more sects. God Evolution Sect, Godly Grain Valley, Moonlight God Sect, Five Oceans Godly Palace, Refined Star God Sect, Heavenly Turbid God Sect¡­ Almost all the sects had an encampment here and Mo Wuji also noticed the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s. The Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment was adjacent to the other peak grade sects. The sign looked like it had just been put up not too long ago. The reason should be the recent emergence of a God King which was why they were treated with slightly more prestige as compared to the other ordinary grade sects. "Haha¡­ Brother Pang, because I was in the God Domain Nest, I couldn¡¯t make it for your God King ritual a few months ago. I hope that Brother Pang would forgive me for this." Even before Pang Jie could bring Mo Wuji and the other disciples into the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment, a long bearded elder walked over. In fact, he clasped his fist to greet Pang Jie even when he was still physically far away. Pang Jie also returned the greetings with a smile. "So its God King Li He. The Phecda God Sect has so many disciples and the God Domain Nest is busy as ever. God King Li He would naturally be too busy to come over." Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to tell God King Li He¡¯s specific cultivation level. Even so, he could sense that God King Li He was probably more than an entire level above Ancestor Pang Jie. Mo Wuji also paid special attention to this God King Li He as this fella was the God King of the Phecda God Sect. Back in the Immortal World, there was also a sect called Tian Ji Sect so he wondered if there were any differences between Phecda God Sect and the Tian Ji Sect. [1] "I wonder if Brother Pang had added a God King Throne?" God King Li He asked enthusiastically. Pang Jie replied, "Because I¡¯ve only just entered the God King Stage and the ritual was rushed, I haven¡¯t been able to add a God King Throne." God King Li He laughed, "That is great! One of the ten great God King, God King Clear Rise is also here. Why don¡¯t Brother Pang follow me over and discuss about Brother Pang¡¯s addition of the God King Throne? This is definitely not a small matter." Without waiting for Pang Jie to answer, God King Li He continued speaking. "Let these disciples enter the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment to have some rest on their own. Anyway, the God Domain Nest has yet to incubate and we might even need to wait here for another hundreds of years." Pang Jie nodded, "Will do." Having said that, Pang Jie turned to Wei Jie. " Wei Jie, you shall be in charge of bringing the disciples into the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment to rest. Restrain and make sure that our disciples don¡¯t go wandering around." "Yes." Wei Jie bowed respectfully as he received the orders. After Ancestor Pang Jie and God King Li He left, Wei Jie mentioned loudly. "All disciples are to take note, you are only allowed to walk around the God Domain Nest¡¯s residential district. No one is allowed to walk out of the residential district." "Why not? Didn¡¯t Pu Yin said previously that there were still treasures undiscovered in places where nobody is living? If we go on a search, we might actually find some more treasures?" Yin Lin asked curiously. Wei Jie chuckled, "Do you think those treasures would wait for a small Nascent God expert like you to be discovered? If the treasures were so easily found, I, Wei Jie, would have left to find them already. Stop spouting nonsense and follow me back to the encampment to rest." Pu Yin commented faintly, "There are indeed treasures but dangers exist too. There are way too many people here and everyday, someone would die in areas where nobody else is there. Even though the God Domain Nest had been searched countless times, there were still plenty of dangers around. Some dangers were man-made while some dangers remained natural." Mo Wuji never intended to leave this place. The instant he entered the God Domain Nest, he sensed that the god spiritual energy was dense. However, there was an indescribable feeling within the laws of Heaven and Earth here. It was as if something had yet to mature, the laws of Heaven and Earth didn¡¯t appear completely formed up. From Mo Wuji¡¯s guess, this should be related to the God Domain Nest. The God Domain Nest had yet to be fully incubated so the laws of Heaven and Earth would naturally not be complete. Cultivating here would be a notch lower than when he cultivated in his own Mortal Mountain. Fortunately, even if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t cultivate, he had many other things to do. He could deduce talisman or learn more about god array dao. If Mo Wuji chose not to head out, Ku Cai and the other disciples under Mo Wuji, would naturally not head out too. After nine consecutive days of seclusion and when Mo Wuji could deduce a grade 2 god array, someone knocked on his room¡¯s restriction. Mo Wuji opened up his restriction to find Elder Wei Jie with an anxious look outside his door. "Elder Wei Jie, what happened?" Mo Wuji asked worriedly. Elder Wei Jie¡¯s body flashed as he entered Mo Wuji¡¯s room directly. He said, "Wuji, could you help me think of a way quickly?" "What is it?" Mo Wuji was confused. From what he remembered, Elder Wei Jie¡¯s cultivation might not be very strong but when faced with problems, he was always calm and collected. Wei Jie answered anxiously, "Because Shen Ming managed to purchase a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit¡­" "Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit?" Mo Wuji repeated the name shockingly. After the few months of reading up in the Heavenly Mortal Scripture Library, Mo Wuji was no longer that clueless in terms of god spiritual herb. A dao fruit like this was extremely valuable because it was also a dao fruit which could cleanse someone¡¯s spiritual roots. Even though the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit was one of the lowest grade dao fruits capable of cleansing spiritual roots, it was still very valuable. Try imagining how many people would have incomplete transformation of spiritual roots when advancing into the Nascent God Stage? As long as there were many people with incomplete transformation, this dao fruit would remain priceless and treasured. Previously, Ancestor Pang Jie mentioned that he would help him get a dao fruit to cleanse his spiritual roots. This Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit should also be considered as a dao fruit Pang Jie promised. And now, Shen Ming actually managed to purchase one Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit? Mo Wuji was stunned at how many good items the God Domain Nest had. And someone would actually bring the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit out to sell? Wei Jie nodded, "Yes, but this is not the main point. The main point is that Shen Ming ate this Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Now, the other party wants Shen Ming to pay back with another Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit¡­" "Elder Wei Jie, hold on. While my cultivation level is not high, I¡¯m not completely inexperienced. I know that a fruit like the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit is not usually brought out for sale. Even if someone wanted to sell, it would be usually during an auction right? Alright, let¡¯s take a step back and say that the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit was really sold there. Shen Ming had that many god crystals to purchase?" Mo Wuji asked. Elder Wei Jie sighed, "This is where the problem lies. The person who sold the dao fruit to Shen Ming didn¡¯t know it was the Soul Cleaning Dao Fruit. He thought that it was the Heart Cleansing Fruit." Mo Wuji had not seen both the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit and Heart Cleansing Pill before but according to the manual he read, these two fruits indeed look similar. The only difference was that the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit contained a law of god dao. On the other hand, the Heart Cleansing Fruit was merely an ordinary god spiritual herb. "Elder Wei Jie, It still doesn¡¯t add up ah. Since it was the other party¡¯s mistake, it should be counted as Shen Ming¡¯s gain right?" Even though Mo Wuji said this, he started suspecting something. A God Domain Cultivator, unless he had just arrived here, should never have mistake these two fruits for each other. Elder Wei Jie said, "That person is a disciple of the Phoenix God Soul Estate and he simply said he made a mistake and would compensate Shen Ming with some god crystals in exchange for the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit back. However, Shen Ming had already eaten the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit and they had detained him. I suspect that this might all be part of their plan but I have no prove¡­" Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. He was certain that this person was definitely an immortal swindler. "Elder Wei Jie, you are an elder so why have you come to me for help?" Wei Jie exclaimed, "You don¡¯t know the rules here right? As long as we¡¯re in the residential district, Heavenly God Stage experts cannot intervene disputes between Nascent God Stage disciples. God Monarch Stage experts cannot intervene disputes between Heavenly God Stage experts. The Phoenix Soul God Estate also had a God King and countless of genius disciples under them. This matter couldn¡¯t be resolved with violence¡­" "Elder, Senior Brother Pu Yin had gone to rescue Shen Ming already¡­" Yet another disciple came over in a hurry. [1]: Remember that Phecda in chinese hanyupinyin is also Tian Ji with another character ¡®Ji¡¯ Chapter 904: Something Ain’t Right Chapter 904: Something Ain¡¯t Right Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ah, we should hurry over now. Pu Yin is prideful and arrogant so we must not allow him to get into a fight with the Nascent God Stage Disciple of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable¡­" Wei Jie said worriedly. Even though he was a falsifier, he was able to see many things very clearly. Even though a God King had emerged from the Heavenly Mortal Sect, the Heavenly Mortal Sect should be considered as the weakest sect among all the other sects with a God King in it. In fact, some of the intermediate grade sect with good foundation might even be stronger than the Heavenly Mortal Sect. If Pu Yin were to offend the Phoenix Soul God Estate, even Ancestor Pang Jie couldn¡¯t do anything to help. Shen Ming didn¡¯t get into trouble in the sect gathering district but at the business district of the God Domain Nest. This place could be considered as a massive open air city square or could also be said to be a cultivation city which was complete as compared to a city square. After they exited the sect gathering district, Mo Wuji only walked for a few minutes before he noticed a crowd of people. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will sensed Shen Ming easily. Shen Ming¡¯s face was pale and his hands were trembling with fear. Other than Pu Yin, who was standing right next to Shen Ming, there were also about five to six more disciples from the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Contrary to Wei Jie¡¯s guess, Pu Yin hadn¡¯t got into a fight with the members of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. However, there were blood stains at the corner of his lips and the energy around him was slightly unstable. Evidently, he had already gotten into a clash with the other party. Even though Pu Yin had blood stains at the corner of his lips, there were no other injuries on him. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will sensed that Pu Yin looked like he was given tight slaps on both sides of his face. In fact, the marks of the slaps seemed to be disappearing. Standing on the opposite of the six to seven disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were four Nascent God Stage experts. Among the four people, the one standing in front was an average built man. In terms of cultivation, he seemed weaker than Pu Yin. In Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, that fella would at most be in the Nascent God Stage Level 7. Behind this average built man were three other Nascent God Stage cultivators. There was a delicate and pretty woman with slightly smaller eyes while the other two men were both very tall. What made Mo Wuji doubtful was that these three cultivators standing at the back all seemed stronger than the average built Nascent God Stage Level 7 man. They were either in the Nascent God Stage Level 7 or 8. It seemed like the Phoenix Soul God Estate had their weakest man standing in front to handle the problem. Without asking, Mo Wuji already knew that these four people were from the Phoenix Soul God Estate. As these four people confronted Pu Yin and co, there was already a huge crowd of people watching on. "Tang Wuzhen, what do you want? My Heavenly Mortal Sect has a God King too." When Mo Wuji and Wei Jie arrived, they heard Pu Yin¡¯s seemingly furious voice. Evidently, the average built man standing in front was called Tang Wuzhen. He pulled back his shoulders intentionally as he screamed. "Aiya, I am so scared. A sect with a God King, hahahaha¡­" "Pu Yin, do you not know that you shouldn¡¯t attack here in the God Domain Nest?" Wei Jie had already squeezed through the crowd as he grabbed onto Pu Yin¡¯s hand angrily. Pu Yin saw Wei Jie and instantly revealed an expression of relief. He hurried to answer, "Yes." "What? Could it be that your Heavenly Mortal Sect is going to send a Heavenly God expert to deal with us? Oh yes, your Heavenly Mortal Sect has a God King so you¡¯re naturally so brazen." Tang Wuzhen saw Wei Jie scurrying over before commenting with a cold tone. Everyone knew that Wei Jie didn¡¯t come with the intention to deal with the Phoenix Soul God Estate. Even though he looked like he was reprimanding his own disciples, he was also warning the Phoenix Soul God Estate that they couldn¡¯t act here. However, the Phoenix Soul God Estate didn¡¯t seem to acknowledge his warning. Wei Jie hurried to answer, "I am not intervening for I am only here to watch." After saying that, he instantly stood to the side and kept quiet. Tang Wuzhen sneered at the sight of Wei Jie. It almost seemed like he didn¡¯t even put a Heavenly God Stage Level 9 expert like Wei Jie in his eyes. Noticing that Wei Jie had backed down, Tang Wuzhen didn¡¯t continue staring at Wei Jie. Instead, he said with a faint tone. "Since nobody from your Heavenly Mortal Sect could settle this matter and even threatened my Phoenix Soul God Estate with your God King¡­" "Hold up, I am the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Da Shixiong. Come at me if you want to settle any matter. Regardless where the Heavenly Mortal Sect has a God King or not, it has nothing to do with this matter. Unless your Phoenix Soul God Estate wants to act against us using the excuse that you have a few God King experts backing you?" When Mo Wuji heard that the other party mentioned about the matter of God Kings, his heart jumped. This matter shouldn¡¯t be as simple as it appeared on the surface. "Who are you?" Tang Wuzhen saw Mo Wuji walking over before asking coldly. He could tell that Mo Wuji had an average aptitude and his cultivation level was also very low. Mo Wuji said calmly, "Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s disciple Mo Wuji and I am also the Da Shixiong who is leading the group of Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s disciples into the God Domain Nest. Whether it is the matters regarding Junior Brother¡¯s Shen Ming or Junior Brother Pu Yin, I am going to settle it for them." "Very good! I do want to see how you¡¯re going to settle this." Tang Wuzhen looked disdainfully at Mo Wuji. Tang Wuzhen didn¡¯t even smile but every other cultivator spectating this conflict laughed out loud when they heard that the lowest cultivation disciple would be settling this matter. At this moment when Mo Wuji continued to address himself as Da Shixiong, Pu Yin no longer dared to say anything else. Mo Wuji looked at Shen Ming before saying. "Shen Ming, tell me everything that had happened in full details." "Hold on, if I am not wrong, you look like you¡¯re only in the Nascent God Elementary Stage. Could it be that because you couldn¡¯t handle this, your Heavenly Mortal Sect keeps sending useless disciples to waste everyone¡¯s time?" Tang Wuzhen waved his hand as a god elemental energy surged towards Shen Ming. Shen Ming, who wanted to step out to speak, was sent right back to his position by the god elemental energy. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t obstruct his act as he turned to the crowd. "Fellow Dao Friends, even though my Heavenly Mortal Sect is a sect which had just been reconstructed, we aren¡¯t an existence for anyone to insult as they wish. I am the Head Disciple of the Heavenly Mortal Sect who came to settle this matter. However, the Phoenix Soul God Estate didn¡¯t even allow my junior disciple to explain what happened. The first thing they mentioned was that my cultivation level was too low. Oh, could it be that everyone in the Phoenix Soul God Estate became a God King the moment they were born? I really want to know that is it just because the Phoenix Soul God Estate is a big sect which is why they can casually convict whoever they want of a crime?" Mo Wuji had this feeling that something was not right here but because he really had no idea what was not right, he wanted to let all the spectators understand what happened. "Hahahaha, you are merely in the Nascent God Elementary Stage and you dare call yourself their Da Shixiong? Are you lying to me or everyone? If my guess ain¡¯t wrong, you should the one with the lowest cultivation level among everyone from the Heavenly Mortal Sect who came here right?" Tang Wuzhen started laughing hysterically. After Tang Wuzhen was done laughing, Mo Wuji replied calmly. "My cultivation level was indeed the lowest among the disciples who came from the Heavenly Mortal Sect. If I am not wrong, you are also the one with the lowest cultivation level out of the four of you here right? Why was it that your Phoenix Soul God Estate can send the lowest cultivation one to settle matters but my Heavenly Mortal Sect couldn¡¯t do the same? Even if your Phoenix Soul God Sect claims to be one grade above my Heavenly Mortal Sect, we aren¡¯t standing on your turf. This is the God Domain Nest which is not somewhere your Phoenix Soul God Sect can hide the truth from the masses." Tang Wuzhen didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to be able to tell his cultivation level. One must know that his cultivation level wasn¡¯t something a Heavenly God could tell. "Very good, let him say then." Hearing that the crowd around him started to whisper, Tang Wuzhen reacted on the spot by saying this." Mo Wuji turned to Shen Ming immediately, "Step out and tell us everything that happened. Also, try to be more concise in your description." "Yes," Shen Ming bowed towards Mo Wuji before continuing. "I was initially planning to walk around the God Domain Nest city square for a while but I didn¡¯t expect to see him setting up a stall just as I reached this open air transaction district¡­" Shen Ming spoke hesitantly and even pointed to one of the taller man standing behind Tang Wuzhen. "I got excited because I actually saw a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit for sale at his stall. When my spiritual roots were transforming into god spiritual roots, it wasn¡¯t a thorough transformation but it was still decent. I am certain that with one Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit, my spiritual roots would cleanse the speck of impurities¡­" Nobody was surprised with what Shen Ming said because no matter who it was, seeing a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit would definitely make them incredibly excited. "At that time, this person said: You like this Cleansing Fruit? If you want, you can have it for this figure as he extended three fingers." Shen Ming¡¯s tone was filled with regret as he continued the story. "I thought he meant three high grade god crystals so I took out the three high grade god crystals without any hesitation. At this very moment, a person came over to talk to him so I placed the three god crystals on his stall before leaving with my fruit. What I didn¡¯t expect was that after about ten steps, he seemed to have realised something. Following which, the person he was speaking with chased over¡­" Mo Wuji sighed because that fella was indeed a swindler. If he wasn¡¯t wrong, Shen Ming saw the two people chasing after him so he hurried to swallow the fruit instantly. The Soul Cleansing Fruit had a benefit which was that it could be consumed anytime. Also, the person consuming didn¡¯t need to circulate his spiritual roots for it to take effects. Shen Ming shouldn¡¯t be blamed because anybody who was frightened would have done the same. When someone finally spotted a loophole, that item would naturally belong to him after paying for it. If this item was of tremendous use for the person, he might not even be willing to return it even if the other party realised his mistake. Shen Ming did exactly how anyone else would have done. "Whether or not I¡¯ve mistaken my dao fruit for another dao fruit, you took away my item even before the transaction was completed. What is the meaning of that? Just because your Heavenly Mortal Sect has a God King, you can buy whatever you want forcefully?" The taller man pointed out by Shen Ming stood out to respond furiously. "Who says that the transaction was not completed? I¡¯ve paid the god crystals before taking your item. Moreover¡­" Before Shen Ming could finish his sentence, that same tall Nascent God cultivator refuted. "You¡¯ve paid the god crystals but have I agreed? Yes, I was indeed talking to someone else back then but I¡¯ve only extended three fingers when I told you the price. Who says that my three fingers meant three high grade god crystals? I actually meant to say three thousand peak grade god crystals. Furthermore, you left the god crystals on my stall and before I even say that I agree with your transaction, you took my item and leave. This is simply daylight robbery." Chapter 905: Alerting The God Kings Chapter 905: Alerting The God Kings Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Three thousand peak grade god crystals was definitely not a small figure. Sometimes during the mining of a god minefield, obtaining one or two peak grade god crystals was already considered very impressive. How many minefield would have to be dug out to even accumulate three thousands peak grade god crystals? Moreover, even a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit wouldn¡¯t be worth three thousand peak grade god crystals. "Why are you even selling your Heart Cleansing Fruit for three thousand peak grade crystals in the first place?" Shen Ming refuted. "Who says that the fruit I sold you was a Heart Cleansing Fruit? I was selling a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit." "You clearly said Cleansing Fruit." "Yes, isn¡¯t Cleansing Fruit the short form for the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit?" "You¡­" Shen Ming¡¯s expression turned from pale white to red. "But you clearly gave me a Heart Cleansing Fruit. I initially thought it was a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit too but after consuming it, I realised it isn¡¯t." Mo Wuji was really speechless when he heard this. He initially thought that Shen Ming really did consume a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Mo Wuji thought that even if Shen Ming were to suffer a bit eventually, at least he consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit and had cleansed his spiritual root. He didn¡¯t expect that after all these drama, Shen Ming had only ate a Heart Cleansing Fruit. However, Mo Wuji started to comprehend the entire situation. He was certain that Shen Ming wanted to take advantage of the transaction. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have acknowledged the price of three god crystals on his own even before the other party told you specifically. If Shen Ming managed to make it back to the encampment, things would have been much easier to settle. After all, the transaction would have been completed for some time already. Now, Shen Ming was held back at the transaction place and even swallowed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Evidently, Shen Ming lacked reasoning for this matter. Mo Wuji was confident that Shen Ming consumed a Heart Cleansing Fruit instead of a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. However, Mo Wuji had this faint feeling that a bigger problem would arise if they kept insisting that Shen Ming consumed a Heart Cleansing Fruit and not a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. As to what the problem might be, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t sure as this was just a feeling he got. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji commented instantly. "Dao Friend Tang, I admit that the disciple of my Heavenly Mortal Sect was at fault and we shall accept the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. I would ask the friends from the Phoenix Soul God Estate to name a price for the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit and we will compensate." "I¡¯ve already said that this Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit was from a billion years old Soul Cleansing Tree. This tree had only bore 11 of the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit so every single one was worth cities¡­" Before the cultivator who sold the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit could finish his sentence, everyone in the crowd understood something. They had come to realise that this matter might not be resolved with the compensation of the normal price of a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Indeed, the cultivator continued with his sentence. "Since I¡¯ve already said that it is for sale at three thousand peak grade god crystals, my Phoenix Soul God Estate will not be unreasonable to ask for me. Just three thousand peak grade god crystals will do." When Shen Ming heard the last sentence, his heart froze. Three thousand peak grade god crystals was something even Ancestor Pang Jie would not be able to afford. If the Heavenly Mortal Sect wants to abandon him, they could simply shirk responsibilities off themselves. He started suspecting if Mo Wuji intentionally admit that he took away a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit so he can use this opportunity to chase him out of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "How could it be? There¡¯s no need to mention that Junior Brother Shen Ming purchased a Heart Cleansing Fruit and not a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Even if he had bought a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit, it wouldn¡¯t even be worth three thousand peak grade god crystals. Junior Brother Mo, is this how you, as a Da Shixiong, is going to settle this matter?" Pu Yin¡¯s raging voice could be heard as he didn¡¯t even bother addressing Mo Wuji as Hall Lord Mo. Pu Yin¡¯s words instantly gained the support of all the disciples from the Heavenly Mortal Sect who had rushed over. Even Wei Jie felt that Mo Wuji was mishandling this situation. Shen Ming clearly didn¡¯t purchase a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit yet Mo Wuji chose to admit it. This was equivalent to putting yourself at a disadvantage or rather, admitting that you¡¯re terrified from the start. What kind of tactic was this? "The Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit should be able to be detected if it was consumed within a day right?" A soft voice could be heard from the crowd. Pu Yin overheard this sentence and shouted instantaneously. "Yes, yes it would be able to detect." Truthfully, he had no idea how it could be tested to prove if someone had consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Tang Wuzhen seemed shocked and this made Pu Yin shout even louder. "Who knows how to test if someone had consumed a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit? Please let us know." Yet another voice from the crowd was heard. "Testing for the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit requires the help of two God Kings. As long as the person who consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit opens their sea of consciousness spirit channel unrestrictedly, the two God Kings will be able to pervade into the sea of consciousness spirit channel. By using their own spirit channels to test if there are any changes to the person''s spirit channels, they would be able to tell if someone had consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit." "Very good, since your Heavenly Mortal Sect insists that what we sold wasn¡¯t the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit, we shall have it tested now. Just like what you¡¯ve mentioned earlier, your Heavenly Mortal Sect has a God King, my Phoenix Soul God Estate has a God King too." As he spoke, Tang Wuzhen had already waved his hand to send out a message. Mo Wuji was suspecting why two God Kings were required to use their own spirit channels to check it Shen Ming consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Logically speaking, one God King should be able to detect it right? After Tang Wuzhen heard the news, he instantly sent out a message without hesitation. From his attitude, it seemed like he was going to call out for their God King. This made Mo Wuji even more uneasy. What kind of existence was a God King? They were existence standing on the peak of the entire God Domain. Regardless of how high Tang Wuzhen¡¯s aptitude was, he shouldn¡¯t be qualified enough to summon a God King over with a single message right? Before Mo Wuji could even figure out what was happening, a skinny man wearing a black robe arrived at the scene. Even though the skinny man looked ordinary, Mo Wuji detected a strong law of Heaven and Earth energy when this man arrived. Mo Wuji had a talk with God King Pang Jie before so he knew instantly that this person was much stronger than God King Pang Jie. Evidently, he was also a God King. What Mo Wuji didn¡¯t expect was that the moment this skinny man appeared, Tang Wuzhen and co. bowed respectfully to him. "Greetings God King Salt Pavilion." Even those cultivators who didn¡¯t know God King Salt Pavilion all bowed respectfully. The entire scene turned silent and orderly. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank because Tang Wuzhen was merely a Nascent God and he really did summon a God King. If this wasn¡¯t planned beforehand, Mo Wuji would never believe what he just saw. At this moment, Wei Jie felt incredibly uneasy too. With a slightly pale face, he bowed and said, "Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Wei Jie greets God King Salt Pavilion." Pu Yin and co. were so frightened that they no longer dared to speak. They didn¡¯t expect that they needed the presence of two God Kings to test if Shen Ming had consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. "What¡¯s happening?" God King Salt Pavilion said it with a monotonous voice. Tang Wuzhen explained the entire situation and he didn¡¯t actually exaggerate or cut down on any details. Mo Wuji hurried to pay his respects. "Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Disciple Mo Wuji greets God King Salt Pavilion. My Heavenly Mortal Sect is at fault for this matter and I am already thinking of compensating for the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit." God King Salt Pavilion glanced coldly at Mo Wuji before saying with a faint voice. "We always emphasise on being fair and just in whatever we do. Just because they are disciples of the Phoenix Soul God Estate, it didn¡¯t mean that they would be speaking the truth. I was just having a conversation with Brother Pang so in this case, let me invite Brother Pang¡­" Just as God King Salt Pavilion mentioned about inviting Pang Jie, Pang Jie landed right in front of everyone. He chuckled as he said, "I¡¯ve heard about the earlier incident and this matter is just like what Disciple Mo Wuji said. It is the fault of our Heavenly Mortal Sect and compensation is a must." Evidently, Wei Jie had already told the full story to God King Pang Jie. God King Salt Pavilion laughed out loud. "Dao Friend Pang, you and I are existences standing on the very pinnacle of the God Domain. The God Domain had always been so peaceful because everyone believes in justice here. Even if I am not friends with Brother Pang, I would definitely not believe my disciples¡¯ side of the story and conclude just like that." Hearing the words of God King Salt Pavilion and looking at Pang Jie¡¯s expression, Mo Wuji was certain that the Phoenix Soul God Estate wasn¡¯t going after the three thousand peak grade god crystals. They wanted Ancestor Pang Jie and God King Salt Pavilion to test and check if Shen Ming really did consume the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. In other words, the Phoenix Soul God Estate definitely had an ulterior motive. Mo Wuji even suspected that they were more concerned as to whether Pang Jie wanted to test it with God King Salt Pavilion. Just as Mo Wuji was about to speak, another clear voice could be heard. "What¡¯s there to conflict about? Just check this fella¡¯s spirit channels and we can all head back to enjoy our wine." Once everyone heard this, a fat monk and a refined looking man in green robe landed. Everyone saw the arrival of these two men and they started bowing respectfully again. From the greetings of the crowd, Mo Wuji knew who these two people were. The fat monk was God King Yan Du and the refined looking man was God King Yi Ming. No matter what happened, he mustn¡¯t let Ancestor Pang Jie do the test for Shen Ming. Even with the arrival of these few God Kings, he had to find a way to stop this. "Wuji, I definitely cannot conduct the test with God King Salt Pavilion to see if Shen Ming really consumed the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit¡­" Ancestor Pang Jie transmitted a message anxiously to Mo Wuji. Even before he could finish his message for Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji saw that Ancestor Pang Jie had already went forward to greet God King Yi Ming and God King Yan Du enthusiastically. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath before clasping his fists. "Disciple Mo Wuji of the Heavenly Mortal Sect greets the few God King seniors. A small matter like this actually alerted the few God King seniors and I, as the junior, sincerely apologetic. If every small matter would need the help of the God King seniors, our God Domain would be in chaos. Junior has a suggestion and that is we abide by the regulations of the God Domain Nest. Shall we let the Nascent God Stage disciples settle this conflict? If we really cannot come to a conclusion, then I would like to trouble the few seniors to intervene." Mo Wuji¡¯s first suggestion was to follow the regulations of the God Domain Nest to settle this. Heavenly God experts cannot intervene disputes between Nascent God Stage cultivators, let alone God Kings. Before the few God Kings could respond, Pang Jie said in a serious tone. "Mo Wuji, they are all your seniors of the God King Stage. The next time you speak, you must not be so rash." After reprimanding Mo Wuji, Pang Jie clasped his fists towards God King Salt Pavilion. "Brother Yan Ting, my rash disciples¡¯ words had some sense too. After all, the God Domain Nest emphasises on letting the same stage cultivators settle their own problems. Why don¡¯t we watch and see how our juniors settle this? We will step in if they couldn¡¯t settle this." God King Salt Pavilion glanced at Mo Wuji interestingly before chuckling. "Dao Friend Pang is right." Having said that, he turned back to Mo Wuji. "Since that is the case, fill us in on how you¡¯re going to settle this." ... Near the periphery of the crowd was a green robe woman and another woman in a blue dress. The green robe woman asked, "Sister Lan Ou, that is the Mo Wuji of the Heavenly Mortal Sect whom you talked about right? He is indeed daring. Let¡¯s watch and see how he handle this situation and if he is worth your high regard." The woman in blue dress was indeed Lan Ou. She smiled and said, "This person definitely has guts. Back then, if he hadn¡¯t controlled his anger, he would have thrown us out. However, I doubt this matter is something he could settle." Chapter 906: Settle With A Battle Chapter 906: Settle With A Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After saying that, Lan Ou turned to the other side to ask another woman in a faint blue dress. "Senior Sister Qu, do you think Mo Wuji would be able to settle this matter?" Once this question was asked, the few women around Lan Ou turned to this faint blue dress woman. Even though there were about seven to eight women who came to watch the show with Lan Ou, this Senior Sister Qu looked like the most outstanding one. Among the few of them, none of them could even compare with her in terms of class, appearance or even figure. Not only did she possess picturesque general face features, perfect figure, she had this classy aura around her which made people want to keep looking at her. Lan Lu was already considered outstanding but this Senior Sister Qu was definitely on another level when compared to Lan Ou. Noticing that everyone was staring at her, Senior Sister Qu shook her head. "I¡¯m not familiar with him but if someone were to settle this matter, it would be lead by the member of the Phoenix Soul God Estate." She was just like the others as she failed to notice that God King Salt Pavilion really wanted to test for Shen Ming spirit channels together with God King Pang Jie of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. She was only wondering why Mo Wuji would suggest to settle among the own stage cultivators. In her eyes, nobody in the Nascent God Stage from the Heavenly Mortal Sect could compare with that Tang Wuzhen from the Phoenix Soul God Estate. ... Upon hearing God King Salt Pavilion¡¯s words, Mo Wuji felt some killing intent exuding from him. He knew that he had enraged this God King expert. If it wasn¡¯t for Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s last-minute word of support, God King Salt Pavilion might have already written his name in the Deathnote. He faintly felt that whether it was God King Yan Du or God King Yi Ming, they seemed to be helping God King Salt Pavilion instinctively. Both of them appeared as though they also wanted God King Pang Jie and God King Salt Pavilion to test and check if Shen Ming really did consume the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. "Senior God King Salt Pavilion is definitely big-hearted to allow junior to try and settle this. This is already a huge honour for me so why would I dare to suggest anything? This solution to this was of course suggested by the senior and junior brothers of the Phoenix Soul God Estate and I would only ask for one additional condition." Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was respectful and humble. Mo Wuji knew that if he must not continue to insist that Shen Ming ate the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit and suggest to compensate. Otherwise, God King Salt Pavilion would definitely talk about how he must uphold ¡®justice¡¯ and then carried on to check Shen Ming¡¯s sea of consciousness. Therefore, Mo Wuji chose to not mention about this at all. Tang Wuzhen immediately stood out to bow to God King Salt Pavilion. "Hearing what Ancestor said, disciple finally realise something. Even when one was certain about something, one should still use the fairest and just method to settle. Just like how disciple was certain that Shen Ming purchased a Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit, this matter must be acknowledged by the Heavenly Mortal Sect. This should be the way of handling matters. If disciple were to suggest a solution, it would be to let the two Ancestors check for the change in Shen Ming¡¯s spirit channels. However, this Junior Brother Mo seems to have an objection. Since that is the case, why don¡¯t the Nascent God disciples of the Phoenix Soul God Estate and the Heavenly Mortal Sect swap some pointers? After which, we shall go according to the suggestions of the disciples of the winning side." God King Salt Pavilion nodded satisfyingly. "Wuzhen, you are pretty decent. Disciples of my Phoenix Soul God Estate will never bully the weak, invert right and wrong or even use our powers to pin others down. We shall go according to your intention then." Following which, he turned to Pang Jie. "Brother Pang, shall we go ahead with this?" Pang Jie could only force a smile as he replied. "There are truly so many talents being nurtured by your Phoenix Soul God Estate. We shall settle this using the God Domain Nest¡¯s method so as to prevent any more entanglement between both parties." Upon seeing Pang Jie¡¯s acknowledgment, Tang Wuzhen turned back to Mo Wuji. "Junior Brother Mo, I, your senior, started cultivating because I want to control my own destiny and roam the vast and boundless universe. Only the mighty will be able to control their destiny. Since you let me suggest a solution to this matter, I¡¯ve thought of the most direct one. How about a battle? Whoever wins, shall suggest the solution to this matter. How about that?" Mo Wuji was certain that Tang Wuzhen would suggest a fight. Even though he was only in the Nascent God Stage Level 7, Mo Wuji was convinced that he should be pretty strong. Moreover, Mo Wuji guessed that the two slaps on Pu Yin¡¯s face were given by Tang Wuzhen. It wasn¡¯t simply because Tang Wuzhen was the leader of the group of Nascent God Stage experts from the Phoenix Soul God Estate here. Another point was that when Tang Wuzhen was speaking, Pu Yin looked timid. Pu Yin was in the Nascent God Stage Level 9 but was slapped twice by Tang Wuzhen. Evidently, Tang Wuzhen should be incredibly strong. When Tang Wuzhen suggested a battle, Mo Wuji noticed how Pu Yin lowered his head. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t the only one who noticed that action as even Pang Jie saw it. Pang Jie had already guessed that Pu Yin wouldn¡¯t be a match for Tang Wuzhen. However, Pu Yin was the only one in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage Level 9. If someone had a chance to win Tang Wuzhen in a face-off, it had to be Pu Yin. After noticing that Pu Yin lowered his head, Pang Jie sighed as he knew that he couldn¡¯t rely on Pu Yin anymore. He was all mighty and arrogant when trying to fight for the title of Da Shixiong but when faced against Tang Wuzhen, he didn¡¯t even dare to utter a single word. Mo Wuji chuckled as he said. "Then we shall go according to Junior Brother Tang¡¯s suggestion." When Tang Wuzhen heard that Mo Wuji even called him a junior brother, his heart was boiling with anger. A mere Nascent God Elementary Stage expert actually dared to address him as junior brother?" "Junior Brother Mo certainly looks imposing. Previously, you mentioned about asking for an additional condition. You can go ahead and let us know now. Of course, you can ask for as many conditions as you want. Since a battle would definitely come with injuries or death, Junior Brother Mo can forget about asking if you are trying to plead for mercy. Junior Brother Mo, you can arrange or choose anyone to fight against me." Tang Wuzhen¡¯s tone was filled with killing intent. He believed that Mo Wuji asked for an additional condition to request for the choice of venue or even suggest something like ending the battle at a certain point. Mo Wuji was still thinking that if Tang Wuzhen forgot about his additional condition, he would take the initiative to remind him. He certainly didn¡¯t expect Tang Wuzhen wanted to let everyone around know how big-hearted he was by showing his willingness to accept almost every condition that he, Mo Wuji, requested for. Mo Wuji clasped his fists awkwardly in all four directions. "Since I am the Da Shixiong, it should be natural that I am the one to fight you. However, I have a unique sacred art which could be easily learned by others. Even so, I would still need to fight Junior Brother Tang. Therefore, my only condition would be that I hope we can fight in an enclosed and sealed up location. Whoever wins, shall walk out of the place. As for life and death, we shall go according to Junior Brother Tang¡¯s words. Dying simply meant that one party was not strong enough." To Mo Wuji, he was never afraid of fighting Tang Wuzhen. He sensed that Tang Wuzhen should be pretty strong so the Four Halberd Strikes might not be enough to oppress him. Whether it was his Wheel of Life and Death or Seven World Fingers, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to reveal it in front of everyone now. By executing his Wheel of Life and Death, Tang Wuzhen should be unable to see through it. However, his sacred arts would definitely not escape the eyes of God Kings. Now that he had yet to step into the Heavenly God Stage, his understanding towards the laws of Heaven and Earth of the God Domain were still not thorough. This was why a gap within the laws would be captured by the other experts watching on if he chose to execute his sacred arts in front of them. These sacred arts were a protection of his own life so he wouldn¡¯t expose the gaps of his laws to anybody. He also didn¡¯t want anyone to learn his sacred arts once he displayed them. "Alright, I agree. The hall behind this place used to be a speech hall and we shall fight there." Tang Wuzhen was slightly surprised at Mo Wuji¡¯s courage to really dare to fight him. After he said that, he dispersed the crowd as they entered a massive grey coloured hall. Mo Wuji bowed towards God King Yan Du before saying. "May I ask Senior Yan Du to help me install a layer of protective array restriction over this hall?" God King Yan Du smiled, "Go ahead, I will install it for you." "Yes, many thanks senior. "Mo Wuji bowed once more as he entered swiftly into the speech hall with Tang Wuzhen. After the two of them entered the hall, God King Yan Du really did help them install one layer of a protective array. At this moment, everyone outside would no longer be able to see what was happening on the inside. Even though they couldn¡¯t say anything, everyone continued to stare excitedly at the speech hall. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji will definitely lose. But if Mo Wuji will definitely lose, wouldn¡¯t accepting the challenge not make sense at all? Moreover, Mo Wuji wanted to fight in a concealed and enclosed arena. Could it be that Mo Wuji possesses some incredible talisman or magic treasure? While everyone was discussing the possible reasons, Mo Wuji had already set foot in the hall. Even though the hall had already been abandoned, the concept of the designs was very majestic and it was indeed a massive hall. "The one with the surname Mo, since you want to die so badly, don¡¯t blame your grandfather for being merciless." As he watched Mo Wuji stepped in, Tang Wuzhen sneered and took out an oval-shaped magic treasure. Mo Wuji smiled faintly as he replied without fear. "Junior Brother Tang, please hold on for a second." Having said that, Mo Wuji threw out a few array flags and covered up the internal space within the hall very quickly. "Ahah, are you trying to trap me with arrays?" Tang Wuzhen laughed as he didn¡¯t seem concerned with what Mo Wuji was planning. Mo Wuji stopped installing as he answered. "I¡¯m afraid that the monk outside would peek on us which was why I installed another array to prevent peeking. Use an array to fight you? Tang Wuzhen, you¡¯ve overestimated yourself." "What?" Tang Wuzhen looked slightly troubled. If God King Yan Du could watch the entire situation of him and Mo Wuji before Mo Wuji installed that additional array, wouldn¡¯t God King Yan Du saw the inconsistency of his own words earlier? No wonder when he addressed Mo Wuji as ¡®the one with the surname Mo¡¯, Mo Wuji still called him Junior Brother Tang. This fella was indeed scheming. "Then let me see if you are as incredible as your words¡­" Tang Wuzhen could no longer be bothered to waste time with Mo Wuji. He only had to kill Mo Wuji and he could let the two God Kings check Shen Ming¡¯s sea of consciousness spirit channel. At this moment, Mo Wuji was confident that God King Yan Du could no longer seep his spiritual will in. Even though the defensive array which he installed was slightly weak, it was attached to a warning sound. If any expert¡¯s spiritual will tried to come close, it would let out an ear piercing sound. He believed that a peak grade expert like God King Yan Du wouldn¡¯t embarrass himself that much. Without the surveillance of anyone, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t go easy as well. When he extended his whirlpool domain, three Spiritual Will Arrows were shot out concurrently. Mo Wuji wanted to end this battle as soon as possible so after the three Spiritual Will Arrows were shot out, he started preparing his Wheel of Life and Death. This was his first battle against a Nascent God Stage expert so he mustn¡¯t go easy. Chapter 907: Remember Not To Offend Me Chapter 907: Remember Not To Offend Me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Tang Wuzhen¡¯s domain clashed with Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain, it didn¡¯t appear to affect Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain at all. This was when Tang Wuzhen¡¯s heart sank and he knew Mo Wuji was definitely not in the Nascent God Elementary Stage. In fact, Mo Wuji could be in the advanced or even Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. Tang Wuzhen, who was initially still underestimating Mo Wuji, no longer dared to do so. The oval-shaped magic treasure in his hands exploded as it turned into an oval-shaped starry sky array. Stars, one after the other, started warping from within as it turned into a vast and boundless starry sky which had Mo Wuji trapped in the middle. Just as Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will started to blur out, his three Spiritual Will Arrows pierced through Tang Wuzhen¡¯s domain. Presently, there was no longer any protective screen in front of Tang Wuzhen. A deadly threat was felt and Tang Wuzhen panicked. He no longer cared about how he was going to trap and attack Mo Wuji with his starry sky array as three of his star shadows was swept over by him. "Boom boom boom!" Consecutive explosions were heard and the stars called back by Tang Wuzhen exploded one after the other. The lacerating elemental energy was finally torn. Tang Wuzhen felt that his sea of consciousness was going to be ripped apart as he spat out a few mouthful of blood. The weariness of his sea of consciousness could be felt again as he finally heaved a huge sigh of relief. He had exhausted three star shadows of his starry sky array to block off Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrows. The stars in his starry sky array had yet to be completed but every star was formed from extreme energy and sacrifices. In one single attack from Mo Wuji, he had exhausted three of his stars which pained his heart really badly. This was the first time a same stage cultivator could destroy his Spiritual Will Arrow so casually. That starry sky array of the oval-shaped magic treasure even almost locked onto his sea of consciousness. Fortunately, he acted fast with his three Spiritual Will Arrows which pierced through the opponent¡¯s domain so swiftly. This was how his sea of consciousness cleared up once again. At a moment like this, Mo Wuji was fully aware of how extraordinary Tang Wuzhen¡¯s magic treasure was. This oval-shaped starry sky should be a growing shape magic treasure. The stars inside this magic treasure should be arranged according to Tang Wuzhen¡¯s thoughts and sacred arts. Additionally, every star should be condensed using a method only Tang Wuzhen had. As the stars within the starry sky array became more solid, this magic treasure would become even more incredible undoubtedly. Earlier, Mo Wuji¡¯s three Spiritual Will Arrows were able to destroy three of the stars not because Tang Wuzhen¡¯s oval-shaped starry sky array was incapable. It was only because the stars within the starry sky had yet to form up completely. In fact, they weren¡¯t even in the embryonic form. If the stars within Tang Wuzhen¡¯s oval-shaped starry sky array were more complete, Mo Wuji will lose without a single doubt even before he could put up a fight. As the gap within Tang Wuzhen¡¯s oval-shaped starry sky array expanded and after Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness cleared up, Mo Wuji changed his mindset at the last-minute. Tang Wuzhen was strong and possessed an incredibly powerful oval-shaped starry sky array. The starry sky array was perplexed and vast in nature so even while fighting against it, Mo Wuji had no idea how many stars there were within. By executing his Wheel of Life and Death now, he would certainly not be able to restrain the other party. At the very most, he would only be able to destroy a few more of Tang Wuzhen¡¯s stars. Mo Wuji drew out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as a winding river descended. "Kacha!" Just like lightning descending from the sky without restrains, Mo Wuji finally had a clear look at this oval-shaped starry sky from within the silver radiance killing intent. The starry sky had over ten stars suspending within it. Because Mo Wuji had destroyed three of the stars, Tang Wuzhen¡¯s starry sky array was no longer able to restrain or trap Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness. "Boom!" A slightly more condensed star appeared like it had smashed through the heavens. Before Mo Wuji¡¯s Winding River Sacred Art could descend completely, the star landed right onto the river. Insane elemental energy swept over and Mo Wuji¡¯s chest tightened. Tang Wuzhen was evidently very experienced in battles because without waiting for Mo Wuji to act again, yet another star was swept over. This particular star charged directly at Mo Wuji. However in this instance, Mo Wuji never even thought about retreating. Not only did he not retreat, he even sent out a punch with his left hand- the Domain Crushing Fist. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t withdraw the Winding River as the killing intent of the halberd radiance became much sharper. The initially weakening halberd radiance became condensed back once again. "Boom! Kacha!" The star clashed against the Domain Crushing Fist and Tang Wuzhen¡¯s fourth star exploded. Under the backblast of the incredible god energy, Mo Wuji forcefully swallowed a mouthful of blood. Even so, he didn¡¯t take a step back as he moved forward towards Tang Wuzhen¡¯s oval-shaped starry sky array. He struck out a Yin and Yang hand seal with his right hand. Sacred Art, Wheel of Life and Death! The space enveloped by Tang Wuzhen¡¯s starry sky was split into two abruptly. Tang Wuzhen sensed that the space was split into two extremes, life and death on either side. The deathly energy swept away all his life force while his primordial spirit and soul were gradually being bound. The deathly energy overwhelmed the space around him and Tang Wuzhen¡¯s heart shivered. He really couldn¡¯t wrap his head around how Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and sea of consciousness could be this powerful. His own spiritual will was already considered mighty yet he was unable to display such ferocity in his sacred arts when compared to Mo Wuji. "Stop." Tang Wuzhen shouted sternly. He had crossed swords with Mo Wuji for only a short period of time and a few exchanges of sacred arts. From this, he concluded that Mo Wuji was no weaker than him. No, Mo Wuji was even stronger than himself. With such the threat of a deathly wheel imprint like this, Tang Wuzhen couldn¡¯t help but feel the extreme danger to his life. As the deathly energy grew stronger, you would need to exhaust half the number of stars from within his starry sky to protect himself. Four of these hard-earned stars formed using years and countless sacrifices had already been destroyed. If more were to be destroyed, his magic treasure would be completely done for. This magic treasure was his proudest and most valuable capital. A huge reason why he gained fame while being at the Nascent God Stage was because of this magic treasure. No matter what, he mustn¡¯t allow his starry sky array to be destroyed so easily. Mo Wuji had no intentions to stop and not only did he not stop, the life and death marks of the wheels became even clearer. One life and one death but the deathly energy were forming up around Tang Wuzhen¡¯s body. "Mo Wuji, I know you¡¯re strong but if I were to break the cauldrons and sink the boat [1], you wouldn¡¯t be able to kill me. You will only deepen the enmity between your Heavenly Mortal Sect and my Phoenix Soul God Estate¡­" Tang Wuzhen shouted furiously and if Mo Wuji still chose not to stop, he will instantly sink the boat with all his might. Even if he were to destroy his magic treasure, he didn¡¯t want to lose his life here. "Tang Wuzhen, if I want to kill you, I can kill you no matter what you try to do. Try me if you dare. Of course, I can stop my attack but are you sincere in admitting defeat? If I stop and you attack me once you¡¯re free, wouldn¡¯t I be wasting effort?" Mo Wuji said with sarcasm. He also admired how good Tang Wuzhen was at speaking. Tang Wuzhen didn¡¯t mention about deepening the enmity of himself and Mo Wuji but between the Heavenly Mortal Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. The truth was that Mo Wuji never intended to kill Tang Wuzhen. Even so, he was confident that if Tang Wuzhen were to bring out his trump card, Mo Wuji could still finish him off with his Seven World Fingers. However, killing Tang Wuzhen will unquestionably form a lifelong animosity between the Heavenly Mortal Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate. This wouldn¡¯t do Mo Wuji any good as well. He was not fearful because he could simply run away. However, he didn¡¯t want to invite unnecessary pressure or animosity for the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "Mo Wuji, I admit defeat so I plead for you to stop." Once Tang Wuzhen said out these words unwillingly, the deathly energy around him stopped increasing in pressure. While the energy was still oppressive, his heart was slightly more stable now. "I only have one condition now. After we leave this place, the incident regarding the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit shall be written off at one stroke and both parties will no longer owe each other anything. As for the reason, just say that we had a deep talk and you feel that it would be better to squash enmity rather than keeping it alive." Mo Wuji said calmly. "Then I wouldn¡¯t be able to account to God King Salt Pavilion." A sense of helplessness overwhelmed Tang Wuzhen. "That shall remain as your problem." Mo Wuji replied coldly. "Alright, I agree." Tang Wuzhen clenched his teeth as he agreed. Mo Wuji released the Wheel of Life and Death. If it was years ago, someone had to die the instant he executed the Wheel of Life and Death. However, he could control it however he liked now. After withdrawing his starry sky array, Tang Wuzhen¡¯s entire back was drenched in cold sweat. He looked down on Mo Wuji before saying. "You are indeed very capable at disguising yourself. An expert in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage actually disguises yourself as a cultivator in the Nascent God Elementary Stage. God spirituality was almost hidden perfectly. I may be hypocritical but you¡¯re much worse than me." "Tang Wuzhen, you are not in the position to comment about me. Remember never to offend me in the future, otherwise, I will be hypocritical to you when nobody is around." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t bother about what Tang Wuzhen had to say about him. "Very good, I, Tang Wuzhen, will remember this." Tang Wuzhen grunted as he prepared to leave. Mo Wuji took out a water crystal ball before saying. "Tang Wuzhen, I have a water crystal ball which recorded everything that happened and everything you¡¯ve said earlier. After you step out of this hall, you are free to say anything you want. If I am unhappy with what you say, everyone will receive a copy of this water crystal ball. And after I distribute this water crystal ball, I will challenge you to a battle at the battle stage. At that point in time, I wouldn¡¯t be as friendly as I am talking to you now." "You¡­" Tang Wuzhen looked shockingly at the water crystal ball in Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. He couldn¡¯t believe there was a fella as despicable as Mo Wuji. This was his first time seeing someone as despicable as Mo Wuji. The truth was that even if he won Mo Wuji, he would never have thought of using a water crystal ball to record everything. Mo Wuji kept the water crystal ball as he continued. "I know what you¡¯re thinking. You are thinking about how you wouldn¡¯t use the water crystal ball even if you managed to win me right? Because you will kill me directly. I am much more loving than you so look, I didn¡¯t even touch a single strand of your hair, let alone kill you. So remember not to offend me. Humans must always appreciate and be thankful." "Very good." Tang Wuzhen clenched his fists as he left the speech hall. ¡­ "Interesting." God King Yan Du chuckled as he never expected Mo Wuji to install another protective screen array from the inside. Just like Mo Wuji¡¯s prediction, God King Yan Du was indeed able to see through the hall even after helping Mo Wuji install the layer of the array on the outside. Indeed, he had heard what Tang Wuzhen said when they first entered the hall. It wasn¡¯t because he wanted to eavesdrop but because he was the one who installed this array, a movement of his thought and he would be able to see everything. Mo Wuji¡¯s addition of another protective screen array was indeed full of loopholes in the eyes of God King Yan Du. However, he didn¡¯t wish to touch it because why would a God King lower himself to the level of a mere Nascent God cultivator. However, God King Yan Du was also very curious what Mo Wuji was planning to do to win against Tang Wuzhen. "Tang Wuzhen of the Phoenix Soul God Estate is out. The winner is Tang Wuzhen, I¡¯ve told you so¡­" Someone from the crowd exclaimed. "Isn¡¯t this a little too fast?" Yet another person commented. Chapter 908: Secret Of The Heavenly Mortal Sect Chapter 908: Secret Of The Heavenly Mortal Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations God King Salt Pavilion was pleasantly surprised. While he was confident Tang Wuzhen could get rid of Mo Wuji in seconds, Mo Wuji¡¯s request to conduct the battle in closed doors made him slightly uneasy. If he wasn¡¯t a God King and had to care about his own pride, he would have cut Mo Wuji off and negated his suggestion. Pang Jie revealed a trace of disappointment. Even though he knew that the chances of Mo Wuji¡¯s victory were slim, he was still hoping that Mo Wuji would give him a pleasant surprise and emerge victorious. Now that Mo Wuji had lost his life, Pang Jie would also be required to give away the greatest secret of his Heavenly Mortal Sect. "I didn¡¯t expect him to actually lose his life here¡­" Lan Ou shook her head with disappointment. She couldn¡¯t believe that she was still thinking of ways to get Mo Wuji to become a disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. "He didn¡¯t die." Senior Sister Qu said with a cold expression. Lan Ou was shook and before she could ask anything, Mo Wuji walked out. Not ony did Mo Wuji not die, he didn¡¯t even have a single injury on him. From the outside, it almost seemed like Mo Wuji went in for a cup of tea before coming out. "Senior Brother Tang actually didn¡¯t kill Mo Wuji of the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡­" Someone from the crowd explained. Presently, everyone was staring at Mo Wuji. Before entering, Tang Wuzhen mentioned that life and death would depend on fate the moment they entered the speech hall. It just didn¡¯t seem right that Mo Wuji would leave the hall with his life intact. "I know, Senior Brother Tang must be very magnanimous to spare Mo Wuji¡¯s life." "That is of course. The Phoenix Soul God Estate is a peak grade sect and I bet all of you don¡¯t know that the Estate Lord of the Phoenix Soul God Estate was incredibly magnanimous as well. Such magnanimity was indeed not something we could expect of everyone." ¡­ As God King Salt Pavilion heard the discussions among the crowd, he nodded his head pleasingly. He felt that Tang Wuzhen had done a great job because the effects of not killing Mo Wuji had achieved a much better outcome. "Brother Cheng, this disciple of your Phoenix Soul God Estate is really decent. He is definitely very broad-minded." God King Yi Ming went on to compliment Tang Wuzhen. God King Salt Pavilion smiled, "Yes, he really didn¡¯t disappoint me. Sometimes killing is not the only way to win." The fat monk God King Yan Du chuckled. "I¡¯m not too sure about this matter yet." Based on the difference in expression which Tang Wuzhen displayed before entering and after leaving the speech hall, God King Yan Du didn¡¯t believe Tang Wuzhen would let Mo Wuji off. Since there was no chance of Tang Wuzhen letting Mo Wuji off, why would these two people come out unharmed? There was only one possibility left; Mo Wuji was the one who let Tang Wuzhen off. Pang Jie was also surprised when he saw that Mo Wuji had walked out. However, at the thought of what was about to happen, his pleasant surprise disappeared without a trace. "Greetings God King Seniors." After exiting the hall, Mo Wuji walked even faster than Tang Wuzhen. After surpassing Tang Wuzhen, Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards the four God Kings. God King Salt Pavilion nodded before asking. "We didn¡¯t see the battle between you and Wuzhen but I guess you¡¯ve come to a conclusion?" Following that, Mo Wuji acted terrified as he answered. "Thank you Senior God King for the trouble to ask this question. Junior Brother Tan and I had familiarity at first sight and managed to have a good talk. Because the senior God Kings were still waiting outside for us, we hurried out." God King Salt Pavilion frowned because Mo Wuji¡¯s tone didn¡¯t look like he had been taught a lesson by Tang Wuzhen. Indeed, Mo Wuji continued to explain. "After a pleasant discussion between Junior Brother Tang and I, we¡¯ve agreed to not let this harm the peace between both parties. We¡¯ve concluded that this matter shall be resolved just like that." God King Yan Du suddenly started chuckling. "Mo Wuji, are you saying that the conclusion of your discussion with Tang Wuzhen concluded that this will be it?" Mo Wuji laughed, "In reply to Senior Yan Du, yes, this is what I meant." Even God King Yan Du laughed out loud as he looked at Mo Wuji with a weird expression. God King Salt Pavilion was fuming inside but he maintained a calm expression as he looked at Tang Wuzhen. "Wuzhen, so this matter regarding the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit has been settled? If you dare alert us for such small matters in the future again, you will be severely punished." If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t record everything that happened using that water crystal ball, Tang Wuzhen would definitely say it had not been settled. He might even say that the conclusion would be to test Shen Ming¡¯s spirit channels. Currently, he didn¡¯t dare to say such things. Mo Wuji had evidence with him and if he said such things, the water crystal ball would definitely be made public. Despite being fearful of the questioning from his God King Salt Pavilion, Tang Wuzhen could only reply with trembling fear. "In reply to Ancestor, it is indeed like what Junior Brother Mo says. Junior Brother Mo says that it is better to squash enmity than to keep it alive. After serious consideration, I¡¯ve realised that our Phoenix Soul God Estate was able to gain a foothold for so many years mainly because of our magnanimity and universal love. We would simply be disrupting the peace of the God Domain Nest if we were to spoil the relationship between both parties for a single Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit. Disciple thought of what Ancestors had taught us so I agreed to Junior Brother Mo¡¯s suggestion. This matter shall end like this and there¡¯s no point in any more questions." Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t even be bothered with Tang Wuzhen¡¯s boasting of his sect. As long as Ancestor Pang Jie need not check Shen Ming¡¯s spirit channels, Tang Wuzhen could say whatever he wanted. God King Salt Pavilion laughed, "Not bad, Wuzhen, you really have the demeanor fitting of my Phoenix Soul God Estate. This is the right way to handle this matter and even though it might seem simple to do, it was actually not easy to handle it this way. Must have been tough on you to handle it so well today." God King Salt Pavilion then turned to Pang Jie and the other God Kings before suggesting. "Since this has concluded, why don¡¯t we go for a good drink?" From Tang Wuzhen¡¯s words, God King Salt Pavilion knew that Mo Wuji had something to threaten Tang Wuzhen. He will undoubtedly not question his own disciple at this moment. Even if he needed to ask, he would wait for everyone to return back to their encampment before asking. Pang Jie was even more surprised because he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to settle this problem so soon after entering the hall. When God King Salt Pavilion invited him for a drink, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yan Ting, even though your disciple is being magnanimous this time around, my disciples were still at fault in the first place. I have to make a trip back first." God King Salt Pavilion¡¯s original name was Yan Cheng. Because of the comparatively close relationship between God King Yi Ming and God King Salt Pavilion, God King Yi Ming addressed God King Salt Pavilion as Brother Cheng directly. Pang Jie of the Heavenly Mortal Sect was merely an acquaintance to God King Salt Pavilion and God King Salt Pavilion even tried to link up with God King Yi Ming and co. to steal the legacy of his Heavenly Mortal Sect. While he appeared polite to God King Salt Pavilion, he only addressed him as Yan Ting directly. "Since that is the case, I shall not hold Dao Friend Pang up anymore." Once he said that, God King Salt Pavilion signalled before leaving with God King Yi Ming and God King Yan Du. Once the three God Kings had left, Pang Jie said with a cold voice. "All the disciples from the Heavenly Mortal Sect, get back to our encampment right now." "I¡¯ve indeed not misjudged him. This person is much more capable than what I thought. I really wonder how did he¡­" Lan Ou commented as he watched God King Pang Jie leaving with the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s disciples behind him. "Sister Lan Ou, are you saying that Mo Wuji is even stronger than Tang Wuzhen?" The green robe woman beside Lan Ou asked. Lan Ou shook her head, "No, that shouldn¡¯t be quite possible. I believe that he didn¡¯t actually fight Tang Wuzhen and merely used his great eloquence to strike an agreement. I actually didn¡¯t believe Tang Wuzhen would be convinced by his words so I really wondered what he said at that point in time. Evidently, this person is so much better at handling matters than any of us. The only pity would be his lack of cultivation." "Sister Lan Ou, I¡¯m afraid it might be incredibly difficult for us to recruit him into our Forgotten Creek Dao School now." Yet another woman commented. Lan Ou smiled but kept quiet. In her opinion, the more capable Mo Wuji became, the greater the possibility of him joining the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Only when Mo Wuji was truly capable, she would be confident in convincing the elders of the Forgotten Creek Dao School to talk to God King Pang Jie. ... At the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment in the God Domain Nest, Pang Jie sat on the head seat in the meeting hall with an ugly expression. "Shen Ming." After about ten silent breaths, Pang Jie finally calmed himself down before calling out for Shen Ming. "Disciple greets Ancestor." Shen Ming stood up, terrified as he bowed. Pang Jie looked at Shen Ming before saying, "From today onwards, you are no longer the disciple of my Heavenly Mortal Sect. This is the God Domain Nest so you are free to go anywhere." Shen Ming¡¯s face turned pale. He thought that because Mo Wuji had settled the matter, he would at most be reprimanded. He didn¡¯t expect to be expelled from the sect just like that. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t an idiot as he knew that Ancestor Pang Jie had already controlled his anger to the best of his ability. Otherwise, Ancestor Pang Jie would only need a lift of his hand to turn Shen Ming into bits. "Yes, disciple understands." Shen Ming answered and was brought out by Elder Wei Jie. After Shen Ming was chased out of the sect, Pang Jie told the rest. "From today onwards, Mo Wuji will be the Big Disciple of our new generation. There will no longer be any further disputes over this, understand?" "Yes," All the disciples bowed promptly. Even though Pu Yin was still unhappy with Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t dare to say anything. A disciple got into trouble, he went to mediate but was given two slaps by the opponent instead. Eventually, he even alerted the God Kings of the sects. Mo Wuji might not be strong but he really did know how to speak. Just like how he hosted the sect¡¯s guest reception, he did a good job today. This could only be said as Mo Wuji¡¯s good fortune. Now that the Ancestor had given his orders, everyone knew that this fact would no longer be altered. Mo Wuji would be their Da Shixiong. The good point was that even while their Da Shixiong had average cultivation and didn¡¯t dare to accept Senior Brother Pu Yin¡¯s challenge, he was still pretty impressive in convincing Tang Wuzhen. "Alright, everyone may go out now except for Mo Wuji." Seeing that everyone acknowledged the fact that Mo Wuji was their Da Shixiong, he really didn¡¯t wish to reprimand anyone anymore. After all the remaining disciples left, Pang Jie indicated for Mo Wuji to sit. "Wuji, you should know that this was an intentional plot right?" Mo Wuji nodded and while he didn¡¯t know what the plot was trying to achieve, he was certain that it had to be a plot. Pang Jie explained satisfyingly, "Wuji, you¡¯ve really done very well whether it was before or after I came back. Do you know why God King Salt Pavilion wants to check Shen Ming¡¯s spirit channels with me?" "May Ancestor enlighten me," Mo Wuji bowed. Pang Jie sighed and said, "Our Heavenly Mortal Sect is famous only because we have a big secret. That is how we manage to allow even the most average of cultivators to have the chance to enter the God King Stage. In the God Domain, there was a saying about how those with aptitude below five stars will never be fated with the God King Stage." "Could it be that aptitude in the God Domain was also divided into nine stars?" Mo Wuji asked because he knew that the Immortal World classified the aptitudes of cultivators with the maximum of nine stars. Chapter 909: Heavenly Mortal Sect’s Guan Huan Chapter 909: Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Guan Huan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Pang Jie nodded, "Yes, the aptitudes in the God Domain is indeed divided into nine stars. However, our nine stars are different from the nine stars of the lower plane. Once the spiritual roots were transformed, they would no longer change. In the God Domain, One Star cultivators would usually stagnant around the Nascent God Stage while Two Stars cultivators would stagnant around the Heavenly God Stage. I am a Three Stars cultivator and according to the order, I should only be in the God Monarch Stage. However, not only was I able to charge past the God Monarch Stage, I was even able to surpass the Heavenly God Stage. Eventually, I¡¯ve even entered the God King Stage." The first thing Mo Wuji thought about wasn¡¯t why Pang Jie was able to break into the God King Stage even with his Three Stars aptitude. What he thought about was how the aptitudes of the God Domain was divided into nine stars. According to the order, Five Stars cultivators would be equivalent to the God King Stage. So what about the six, seven, eight or nine stars aptitude? "Do you know why I only have three stars aptitude yet I was able to enter the God King Stage?" Pang Jie questioned Mo Wuji after explaining the relationship between aptitude and cultivation level. Mo Wuji answered hurriedly, "Disciple does not know." Truthfully, he was not interested in this. He, himself didn¡¯t have spiritual roots and was even a mortal with extremely low aptitude. Wasn¡¯t he still able to arrive here at the God Domain? Pang Jie explained patiently, "Because my Heavenly Mortal Sect has a unique cultivation secret which could allow ordinary cultivators to surpass the realms of their own aptitude. Because God King Salt Pavilion knew of this, he wanted to use the excuse of checking for the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit to get a glimpse of his Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s secret." Without waiting for Mo Wuji to ask anything, Pang Jie continued his explanation. "Anyone who consumes the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit will have a change in their spirit channels. Their aptitude and sea of consciousness would also be up one level. As soon as I check Shen Ming¡¯s spiritual roots concurrently with God King Salt Pavilion, he would be able to have a glimpse of my cultivation. At the same time, he would be able to detect all circulation of the dao spirituality in his spirit channels. Even if God King Salt Pavilion only managed to capture a hint of our secret, he would have his ways to find out about the dao fruit I consumed before my breakthrough and the methods to refine a dao fruit like that. If God King Salt Pavilion found out about these secrets, my Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Heavenly Mortal Technique would no longer be a secret. "Ancestor, does this mean that our secret would be exposed when any God King of our Heavenly Mortal Sect gets captured?" Mo Wuji questioned. He was thinking about what kind of secret could be exposed so casually by others. Pang Jie smiled, "No, as long as the dao spirituality of my dao fruit dissipated and my God King Stage stabilised, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get a glimpse of my secret. He only set up this plot because he saw that I had just advanced into the God King Stage and had yet to have my cultivation level stabilised." Noticing that Mo Wuji seemed to be in deep thoughts, Pang Jie interrupted Mo Wuji¡¯s train of thoughts. "Wuji, there¡¯s no need for you to overthink. Your aptitude is average and my Heavenly Mortal Sect is basically a sect which doesn¡¯t think highly of good aptitude. If we could help you find spiritual roots cleansing magic treasure during the upcoming God Domain Nest Incubation, that would be the best case scenario. Even if we couldn¡¯t find, all you need to do is to cultivate my Heavenly Mortal Technique seriously coupled with the secret method of my Heavenly Mortal Sect. With your ability to comprehend, stepping into the God King Stage would not be impossible for you at all. The only worry is that you have lightning type spiritual roots. Other than my Heavenly Mortal Technique, I don¡¯t have any other good lightning type technique to help you¡­" Mo Wuji knew that Pang Jie was sincerely interested in nurturing him. At this moment, he felt that he should tell Pang Jie the truth as he stood up and bowed in front of Pang Jie. "Ancestor, the reason why I didn¡¯t take you as my master was not because of lightning type techniques. The reason is that I am also a sect head and I have a sect in the Immortal World called Ping Fan. In the future, I might be establishing my own sect so I cannot take you as my master or even cultivate your Heavenly Mortal Technique." Pang Jie was slightly shocked at what he had heard. If any other Nascent God Stage cultivator were to say that they wanted to establish a sect in the God Domain, Pang Jie would have kicked him far away. However, when Mo Wuji mentioned that he wanted to establish a sect, Pang Jie didn¡¯t think that it would be impossible. Pang Jie sighed as he helped Mo Wuji up. "Wuji, I believe that your future will definitely be limitless. As for how you convinced Tang Wuzhen, I will not ask you about it. Since you have your own way of thinking, you shouldn¡¯t call me Ancestor anymore. Just address me as Senior Brother directly. You want to establish a sect, that would only happen a few thousands of years later. Until then, the Heavenly Mortal Sect will be your home." "How can I do that?" Mo Wuji was astonished because he didn¡¯t have the guts to address a God King as Senior Brother. He was thankful for Pang Jie for not questioning how he convinced Tang Wuzhen. Evidently, Pang Jie knew that he had his own secret. Also because Mo Wuji wanted to establish his own sect in the future, Pang Jie decided not to ask such a sensitive question. What Mo Wuji was even more appreciative of Pang Jie was his attitude upon hearing that Mo Wuji would be leaving the Heavenly Mortal Sect in the future. Pang Jie¡¯s response had won Mo Wuji¡¯s respect and admiration. After Pang Jie got Mo Wuji to sit down once again, he spoke. "Wuji, what you¡¯ve just said would be deemed as egotistical by anyone else. However, I do believe you. Do you know how my Heavenly Mortal Sect was established? Back then, the ancestor of my Heavenly Mortal Sect was called Guan Huan. He only had a one star aptitude and cultivators with one star aptitude in the God Domain were not very different from mortals. Because Ancestor Guan Huan had a low aptitude, he was looked down upon by everyone everywhere he went. Additionally, because of his fat appearance, he was almost like a clown ridiculed by people whenever he appeared in public." As if he could empathised with his ancestor back then, Pang Jie sighed. "However, Ancestor Guan Huan still laughed it off whenever people made fun of him. Because Ancestor Guan Huan always maintained his smile even when bullied, he found joy in everything or everyone. Techniques or sacred arts unwanted by others or even incomplete techniques would be thrown to Ancestor Guan Huan. However, Ancestor Guan Huan¡¯s ability to comprehend was incredibly shocking. He actually used over 900,000 thousand years to merge all the techniques he had collected together. This was how he wrote out the Heavenly Mortal Technique and through these 900,000 over thousands of years, he had been stuck at the Nascent God Stage. After writing out the Heavenly Mortal Technique, Ancestor Guan Huan¡¯s cultivation level started rising tremendously. Eventually, he ruled over a place and founded the Heavenly Mortal Sect." "So Ancestor Guan Huan of our Heavenly Mortal Sect is no longer around?" Mo Wuji suddenly had a deep admiration for Ancestor Guan Huan. As compared to Guan Huan, his experience was already much better. Even if he was betrayed on Earth, he was still an existence being looked up to by people. Even if he was reborn into the Country of Cheng Yu, his life was still better than some of the poor people. A person ridiculed at by everyone still managed to maintain his bubbly attitude. How broad-minded must he be? Given Guan Huan¡¯s ability to comprehend issues and establishing the Heavenly Mortal Technique, he was clearly not an idiot. Pang Jie shook his head as he chose not to answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question. Perhaps because Mo Wuji would eventually leave the Heavenly Mortal Sect, Pang Jie no longer had the mood to continue explaining to him. He said to Mo Wuji, "You should go back and rest now. The powers in the God Domain Nest are intertwined. Having just entered the God King Stage, I¡¯m not really qualified to comment on it." "Yes, Ancestor." Mo Wuji was initially intended to ask if it was easier for those with five stars aptitude to enter the God King Stage. Noticing that Pang Jie no longer had any mood to converse, Mo Wuji chose not to ask anymore. He believed that he could simply find someone to ask this question. Pang Jie smiled, "I still think you should address me as your senior brother in the future." After hearing Pang Jie¡¯s story about Guan Huan, Mo Wuji knew that Pang Jie didn¡¯t let Mo Wuji address himself as a senior brother for no apparent reason. Therefore, he answered directly, "Yes, Senior Brother." ¡­ After experiencing the incident regarding the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit, the disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were no longer as excited as when they first arrived. In terms of movements, they really did cut down significantly. At least they were now aware that the Heavenly Mortal Sect really was a small existence in the God Domain Nest. This fact doesn¡¯t change even though they had a God King as their ancestor. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even step out once because he knew that the members of the Phoenix Soul God Estate would definitely keep thinking about him. He was merely a Nascent God Stage Level 1 expert so if Tang Wuzhen wanted to deal with him, he only needed to summon a Heavenly God expert. Mo Wuji also wasn¡¯t a fool so why would he head out at a time like this? Furthermore, he had extremely poor so he wouldn¡¯t be able to do much outside. Other than a few consciousness crystals, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a lot of valuable items on him. In a blink of an eye, four months passed and Mo Wuji had dedicated himself to further progress from the Nascent God Stage Level 1. The only pity was that he didn¡¯t have any god crystals on him. He was certain that his progress would be even more significant if he had a few piles of god crystals beside him while cultivating. Even while his progress was shockingly slow, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t neglect to cultivate. He was well aware that in the God Domain Nest, his cultivation level was probably one of the lowest. On one of the day Mo Wuji was cultivating in seclusion, someone knocked on his restriction. Ever since the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit incident, Mo Wuji was, in fact, an existence only second to Ancestor Pang Jie in the God Domain Nest¡¯s Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment. Even Wei Jie cannot order Mo Wuji around casually. Therefore, nobody would actually disturb Mo Wuji for the daily issues. The first was the change in a status of Mo Wuji. Secondly, not many of the disciples who came to the God Domain Nest were on good terms with Mo Wuji. Even while Ancestor Pang Jie had already mentioned that the Da Shixiong was Mo Wuji, a majority of them still supported Pu Yin in their heart. Not for any reason but because Pu Yin was still the strongest disciple in terms of cultivation. Mo Wuji saw that the person standing outside the door was Ku Cai so he instantly opened the restriction for her. "Ku Cai, congratulations on entering the Nascent God Stage Level 2." Mo Wuji only needed a split second to notice her breakthrough. "Big Brother, I had only just broken through into the Nascent God Stage Level 2." Ku Cai¡¯s heart felt comfortable as her cultivation progress was beyond comparison. This made her even more determined to follow Big Brother Mo because her current cultivation technique was given by Senior Brother Mo. It was even multiple folds much faster than her previous technique. "Why have you come to my place instead of cultivating further?" Mo Wuji said while smiling. He knew that Ku Cai was a cultivation addict. Every time she had spare time, she would unquestionably be cultivating. Ku Cai hurried to answer, "A gorgeous sister came and she said that she wanted to find you for some matters." Chapter 910: God Domain Nest Incubation Chapter 910: God Domain Nest Incubation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Gorgeous sister? Mo Wuji thought and couldn¡¯t think of anyone he met in the God Domain whom he considered gorgeous. The prettiest woman he met was probably only Liu Ruting, who could only be considered decent and not gorgeous. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will scanned outside and he saw a faint green dress woman standing outside the encampment of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. The slight wind blew onto her dress and she looked like she could be blown away easily. The slight wind which blew onto her green dress set off her perfect figure which was hard to shift your eyes away from. The woman had picturesque general face features as she looked so perfect that it almost felt like an illusion. This woman reminded Mo Wuji of Shuyin and that if Shuyin were to stand beside her, she definitely wouldn¡¯t lose to this green dress woman. Any other women who tried to stand beside this woman would only make this woman look even prettier. This woman was definitely worthy of being addressed as a gorgeous sister. "I shall go take a look." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know who this woman was and also didn¡¯t understand why she would come to look for him. "Qu You greets Senior Brother Mo." Just as Mo Wuji arrived at the periphery of the encampment and before he could say anything, this gorgeous woman took the initiative to greet and bow towards Mo Wuji. "You are?" Mo Wuji looked doubtfully at this gorgeous woman whom he really didn¡¯t recognise. He really wondered why this woman was looking for him. Qu You said a trace of helplessness. "Senior Brother Mo, can I head in to have a few words with you?" This was the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s encampment so other than Ancestor Pang Jie and Elder Wei Jie, no other person should be allowed to bring anyone into the encampment for no apparent reason. Mo Wuji was the Da Shixiong so he actually had this power to bring people in. Mo Wuji could tell that this woman was in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage Level 9. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t too concerned about her cultivation level as he nodded. "Alright, you can come in with me." "Big Brother, I will go and cultivate now." Seeing that Mo Wuji had brought Qu You into the encampment, Ku Cai, who was following Mo Wuji, informed him. When Qu You came to find Mo Wuji, she met Zhu coincidentally. Because Zhu didn¡¯t dare to disturb Da Shixiong Mo Wuji, he could only call out for Ku Cai to inform Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji patted on Ku Cai¡¯s shoulder before saying. "Go on then and work hard in cultivating. You might even be allowed to go to the newly incubated God Domain Nest in the future." Ku Cai didn¡¯t doubt Mo Wuji¡¯s words at all as she answered promptly before leaving quickly. ¡­ After Mo Wuji brought Qu You to his room, put up restrictions and served a cup of immortal tea, Mo Wuji asked. "Dao Friend Qu, please tell me whatever you wish to say." From how Mo Wuji only gave her a cup of immortal tea and his storage bag, she guessed that Mo Wuji should be very poor. She stood up before bowing towards Mo Wuji. "Senior Brother Mo, I am actually a core disciple from the Forgotten Creek Dao School." Mo Wuji was astonished because he wasn¡¯t as clueless as before. He knew that the Forgotten Creek Dao School was one of the peak grade sects in the God Domain. Rumours spread that they even have two God Kings in their sect. In fact, he had even heard that one of the ten great God Kings, God King Scoured Sea was also from the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Previously, only a small Nascent God Stage disciple from the Forgotten Creek Dao School attended God King Pang Jie¡¯s ritual yet his Heavenly Mortal Sect already had to treat her like the other high profiled personnel. Evidently, this was how mighty the Forgotten Creek Dao School was. "I wonder why Dao Friend Qu is looking for me?" Mo Wuji didn¡¯t wish to have any association with disciples of such big sects. Therefore, he kept reminding himself not to think about what had happened before with the disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Qu You could clearly sense what Mo Wuji was thinking as she sighed and continued. "I am here to ask Senior Brother for help." Mo Wuji laughed, "Dao Friend Qu, if it is a problem which even a legacy disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School like yourself couldn¡¯t resolve, I, Mo Wuji, would naturally not be able to help." Even before Qu You could mention the request, Mo Wuji instantly rejected her so Qu You said in a helpless tone. "Senior Brother Mo, this has nothing to do with our sects but there will be an exchange event tomorrow night among all the Nascent God Stage cultivators in the God Domain Nest. I saw something that I want but so did many others. When everyone goes to the exchange, they will be exchanging merits and demerits of their goods. Even though I am confident that my item would be decent, I am not very fluent with words so I only hope that Senior Brother Mo can follow me there¡­" Mo Wuji finally understood that she came because she wanted him to do the advertising for her. It seemed like the incident where he managed to convince Tang Wuzhen had spread far. Mo Wuji was slightly speechless. No matter where he went, as long as he was capable, there would be a market for him. He was merely misunderstood as being a genius with speech and someone came with the intention to hire him. The fact that Qu You came to find him personally proved that this item should be of great importance to her. "My apologies, I am unable to help you with this because not everyone is as fair and reasonable as Junior Brother Tang Wuzhen." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t hesitate in rejecting her request. Qu You bit her lips as her eyes revealed an expression of delicate anticipation. "Senior Brother Mo, this item is truly too important to me. Senior Brother Mo talked about the God Domain Nest before so if Senior Brother Mo helps me this time, I guarantee that I can help Senior Brother Mo obtain a slot to enter the incubation." Mo Wuji continued to shake his head even though Qu You¡¯s delicate look could really make it hard for a majority of men to reject. However, Mo Wuji was an exception. Mo Wuji was confident that he could obtain a slot to enter the God Domain Nest Incubation himself. Even if he couldn¡¯t, Mo Wuji would still not commit such a brainless act. He was certain that the item Qu You wanted should be extraordinary. Those who could compete with Qu You for the treasure will definitely be of high status too. The moment he agreed to help, he would offend others whether or not he managed to help Qu You get the treasure. Mo Wuji would undoubtedly not do such strenuous and unrewarding act. Can good looks protect your life? Moreover, what has Qu You¡¯s good look got to do with Mo Wuji? Qu You didn¡¯t appear to expect Mo Wuji to reject her directly. The rejection was so direct that it shook her a little. She didn¡¯t like to plead with anyone but if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this item was of incomparable importance to her, she would definitely not come to plead a stranger like Mo Wuji. The reason she came to look for Mo Wuji was that she personally saw how Mo Wuji convinced Tang Wuzhen and also Lan Ou¡¯s constant compliment of Mo Wuji. Qu You was never fluent in her speech and the words she¡¯ve just said to Mo Wuji was rehearsed over and over again. Now that Mo Wuji had rejected her so directly, she could no longer find any words to say. She could only say to Mo Wuji, "Many thanks, Senior Brother for your reception. Qu You shall leave now." Even though she expressed her gratitude, she was still disappointed beyond words within her heart. Mo Wuji stood up as he didn¡¯t continue to say anything else. This was never a matter which he would be willing to help. ¡­ Just as Mo Wuji sent Qu You away, Ancestor Pang Jie appeared inside Mo Wuji¡¯s room. Mo Wuji hurried to show his respects. Pang Jie nodded as he told Mo Wuji, "Did that woman ask you for help earlier?" "Indeed, she said something about an exchange event between Nascent God Stage cultivators of the God Domain Nest. She saw something she liked and hope that I can help her with the exchange which I rejected." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t conceal anything. Pang Jie nodded once more. "It is right that you rejected her because that item is not something simple. No matter who went to exchange for it, my Heavenly Mortal Sect should never intervene." "Since it is that precious, why was it brought out for exchange?" Mo Wuji questioned. Pang Jie exclaimed in reply, "Because this item wasn¡¯t brought out by anyone for exchange but spotted concurrently by 11 God Kings of the God Domain Nest. Because there was only one of it, the 11 God Kings came to an agreement to let the Nascent God Stage cultivators exchange for it. Moreover, the items brought out by the Nascent God Stage cultivators must be of the Nascent God Stage peak grade. The item shall belong to whoever brought out the most valuable exchange item." Mo Wuji finally understood why Qu You would come to find him for help. It seemed like all the items brought out by everyone should be around the same standard and the eventual victor should have to rely on their description of their item. Whoever can describe their item as the most outstanding will emerge victoriously. "What is it?" Mo Wuji asked curiously. "It is a Five Elemental Bead¡­" Just as Pang Jie finished half his sentence, explosions from outside could be heard. The entire God Domain Nest seemed to be trembling due to these explosions. "The God Domain Nest has started incubating. Inform Wei Jie and the rest of the disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect to wait for me at our encampment. No one is to rush indiscriminately into action¡­" Once the last two words were uttered, Pang Jie had already disappeared in front of Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji heard about the Five Elemental Bead, his heart was slightly excited. His Undying World was incomplete mainly because he didn¡¯t have all five elements. What he didn¡¯t expect was the sudden incubation of the God Domain Nest at this point in time which resulted in him being unable to ask what attribute the elemental bead was. "Where¡¯s ancestor?" Just as Pang Jie left, Wei Jie hurried over anxiously. "The God Domain Nest has started incubation and ancestor had gone over to check it out. Elder Wei Jie, since the God Domain Nest is incubating now, is it time for us to prepare to enter the God Domain Nest?" Mo Wuji was very excited. Ever since his days in the Immortal World, he was used to fast cultivation and quick advancements. He had never experienced such slow progress like presently and it was almost like a snail¡¯s speed. Now that there was this God Domain Nest Incubation, it was his fate and opportunity. Wei Jie shook his head, "No, it is still too early. The explosions of the God Domain Nest were simply the warning signs of incubation. There was still about half a year to three years before the complete incubation of the God Domain Nest. Moreover, we would still need to decide on the namelist of people to enter the God Domain Nest. Everytime it incubates, you would go according to the namelist. Every slot would be chosen wisely with the winners of contests." "But wait, I see a lot of people charging towards the periphery of the God Domain Nest. They look like they¡¯re heading towards the area of incubation?" Mo Wuji sensed the situation outside as he saw everyone charging towards the explosions. Wei Jie laughed, "When the God Domain Nest incubates, the periphery would produce a large amount of dao spirituality essence and even some peripheral treasures. Those people must have gone to fight for those treasures and essences. Death rates would usually increase exponentially every time the God Domain Nest incubates." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart jumped as he asked abruptly. "Elder Wei Jie, do you have any god pills used for disguise?" Chapter 911: Emergence Of Dark Type Law Chapter 911: Emergence Of Dark Type Law Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You mustn¡¯t do this." Wei Jie reacted immediately after Mo Wuji asked. "Mustn¡¯t do what?" Mo Wuji asked once more. Wei Jie replied. "You asked if I have pills for disguise so you can head to the periphery of the God Domain Nest to try your luck right?" Mo Wuji chuckled, "Given my low cultivation level, why would I want to go there? I¡¯m only intending to make a few rounds in the God Domain Nest itself. Since most experts will be heading over to the incubated area, the God Domain Nest should be relatively safer now. Even so, I¡¯m still worried because I¡¯ve offended members of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. This was why I feel that heading out with a disguise would still be much safer." Hearing that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t heading towards the periphery of the God Domain Nest, Wei Jie heaved a sigh of relief. He took out a face mask for Mo Wuji before speaking again. "Pills for disguise are extremely valuable so I don¡¯t have any. However, I have this low grade god face mask which you must remember to return me after use. This item is considered very important to me." "Elder Wei Jie, why are you still so petty ah?" Mo Wuji received the face mask and chuckled. "Small kid, don¡¯t look at me as only an Elder. I¡¯m in fact much wealthier than you¡­" As Wei Jie spoke, he looked over at Mo Wuji¡¯s storage bag on his waist, pondered and decided to swallow his next sentence. Mo Wuji had never replaced this storage bag in the God Domain. This was even after Ancestor Pang Jie told him that he was allowed to collect any cultivation resources whenever he wanted. After Elder Wei Jie left, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to consume a Dry Wimple Pill. The Dry Wimple Pill was a Tier 8 immortal pill and in the Immortal World, it was the best pill for disguise. Because this was the God Domain, Mo Wuji was worried that the laws of the Dry Wimple Pill would be too weak, making it impossible to block others from using their spiritual will to snoop around. After using the Dry Wimple Pill to disguise himself as a tanned cultivator with small eyes, Mo Wuji left the encampment of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. After which, he put on the face mask as he turned himself into a fair skin and treacherous looking man. The reason why he really wanted to disguise himself was not because Mo Wuji wanted to make a few rounds in the God Domain Nest. Just like what Wei Jie was worried about, he was going to try his luck at the periphery of the incubating God Domain Nest. ¡­ The moment he left the God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji could feel that the laws of Heaven and Earth in the surrounding were beginning to lack order. Moreover, the god spiritual energy around the area was also in a mess with an uneven distribution of god spiritual energy density. Mo Wuji was well aware of such situations because it was very common in the void. The main reason for this was that the Laws of Heaven and Earth were not complete. The incubating area of the God Domain Nest continued to explode and there were also many other cultivators rushing towards Mo Wuji¡¯s destination. These people were just like Mo Wuji, rushing to get there, so nobody would notice the others. Mo Wuji executed his Wind Escape Technique and he was incomparably rapid. As his speed kept increasing, even some Heavenly God Stage experts weren¡¯t able to match his speed. After traveling for an entire day, Mo Wuji came to a halt. At this moment, there were countless of people in this area. Everyone stared shockingly at the explosions far away. The space far away looked like it was going to be torn apart or collapse as the laws within that space kept fumbling. The fumbling laws were constantly condensing, transforming and then forming into new laws¡­ Over ten God King experts were continually throwing out array flags at the periphery of the space with fumbling laws of Heaven and Earth. Clearly, these experts were installing arrays. Among those experts, Mo Wuji noticed Ancestor Pang Jie, who was also helping. A devastating cry could be heard from beside Mo Wuji. In the next moment, Mo Wuji saw a young cultivator with a pale face spitting out blood. "This idiot! He must have used his spiritual will to try and get a glimpse of the incubating God Domain Nest. In the end, he destroyed his own sea of consciousness. This is what I call suicide." Another person by the side commented. When Mo Wuji heard this, cold sweat rolled down his back. He was preparing to extend his spiritual will to sense the change of laws of Heaven and Earth within that fumbling space. If he could capture a tinge of how the laws of Heaven and Earth condensed and formed new laws, it would be of incredible use to him. Hearing the words of that spectator, Mo Wuji realised that extending the spiritual will would end up in death. The laws in the faraway space turned into greater disorder as radiance after radiance were shot out from within. The explosions were continuous and even revealed some dao spirituality occasionally. This dao spirituality originated from a Grand Dao energy which everyone yearned for. "This feels like a new creation ah. The Grand Dao of it is simply too intriguing." A cultivator from the other side exclaimed. "This is indeed a new creation because I¡¯ve heard that when the God Domain first formed up, it wasn¡¯t thorough. Later on, every time the God Domain Nest incubates, it was equivalent to the creation of the very beginning. The fumbling laws of Heaven and Earth were actually condensing of new laws and forming of a new domain within Heaven and Earth." "Indeed, the pity is that our spiritual will are unable to seep into it. Otherwise, to be able to gain insights or sense such heaven splitting dao spirituality would definitely do cultivators a world of good." "I¡¯ve heard that when the God Domain Nest incubates, even a God King¡¯s spiritual will be struck back by the laws of Heaven and Earth. Eventually, their sea of consciousness would be hurt too¡­" "Yes, when compared to the creation of a universe, God King is merely like a drop in the ocean." Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart shivered. Even if the sea of consciousness spiritual will couldn¡¯t seep through it, it shouldn¡¯t affect him that much right? He had the spiritual will of the spirit storage channel and even if there were backblast, it would at the very most, cause damage to his spirit storage channel. This would mean that his sea of consciousness wouldn¡¯t be affected at all. Mo Wuji carefully extended his own spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will. Half an incense later, Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will finally reach the space with fumbling laws of Heaven and Earth. A vast and mighty law of Heaven and Earth surged over and Mo Wuji could feel his own dao will defeated. It was as if everything that he had cultivated thus far was about to be utterly destroyed in this moment. Mo Wuji instantly circulated his dao revelation channel. This energy of the laws of Heaven and Earth captured by his spirit storage channel¡¯s spiritual will was shifted to his dao revelation channel. Concurrently, all 108 meridians started forming spiritual circulation to support it. The extensive laws of Heaven and Earth were swept in by Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will and then abandoned through the dao revelation channel. Even when over billions of laws were passed through Mo Wuji¡¯s dao revelation channel, it only managed to retain one or two of the laws. There were even more impressive energy of the laws of Heaven and Earth were abandoned by Mo Wuji because they were either too extensive, mysterious or too rarefied. If messy laws like these weren¡¯t abandoned instantly, it would only cause damage to Mo Wuji¡¯s meridians. Even though he only managed to capture one or two laws out of the billions of them that passed through his dao revelation channel, Mo Wuji was still satisfied. He could still feel that his cultivation level was constantly on the rise even if he didn¡¯t cultivate. Because he had gain insights over these laws, his sacred arts became clearer too. Time passed gradually as everyone stared intently at the fumbling laws of Heaven and Earth. Everyone was patiently waiting for the incubation to end before the emergence of treasures. Just like the others, Mo Wuji was standing around. Unlike the others, he wasn¡¯t simply waiting as he was busy cultivating. He had already been in the Nascent God Stage for over a year. Throughout this year, there was almost no progress in his cultivation level. Yet the disorderly energy from the God Domain Nest ensued speedy rise in his cultivation. In just a number of days, he charged towards the pinnacle of the Nascent God Stage Level 1 and was only a step away from the Nascent God Stage Level 2. Just when Mo Wuji was considering if he should charge into the Nascent God Stage Level 2, a unique energy of the law was captured by Mo Wuji. Without hesitation, he controlled his dao revelation channel to give up on all the other laws just to capture this particular one. Mo Wuji was indescribably excited because he actually managed to sense a dark type law from the location of the incubating God Domain Nest. Others might see or even touch it but not realised that it is the dark type law. However, because he had the Laws of Darkness technique which Ku Cai gave him, he could instantly capture it when he sensed it. The dark type law grew clearer in his dao revelation channel and Mo Wuji suddenly had an uncontrollable urge. He wanted to start cultivating the Laws of Darkness cultivation technique immediately. Fortunately, he was still rational enough to control his urge. His spiritual will stopped trying to gain insights over any other laws as he started to capture the position of this dark type law. As the God Domain Nest continued to incubate, all sorts of laws were still traversing across the space. Mo Wuji cautiously controlled his spiritual will to enter the depths of the incubating God Domain Nest. Even more terrifying and extensive dao laws surged over but Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t tempted as he directly threw these laws aside. In this instance, his priority would be to find the exact location of these dark type laws in the upcoming incubation of the God Domain Nest. As time passes, the explosions of the incubation lessened. The trace of dark type law which Mo Wuji captured suddenly disappeared within the boundless space. Mo Wuji was no longer able to sense any of that energy. "Boom boom boom!" Even more intense explosions occurred and following that, endless amount of densely packed light radiance emerged. At almost the very same moment, Mo Wuji managed to breakthrough from Nascent God Stage Level 1 to Level 2. "Treasures are starting to fall in the incubated God Domain Nest!" Surprised voices could be heard while everyone started charging towards the countless treasures from the light radiance. Under the sky full of flashing radiance, this was when cultivators started fighting. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t head over to fight for the treasures at the first moment. Instead, he went to put down a marker on the location where that dark type law disappeared. When they were allowed to enter the God Domain Nest incubated area in the future, he wouldn¡¯t go fight for treasures but to the mark where he left behind. He wanted to cultivate the dark type laws technique. Only after putting down this mark, Mo Wuji entered the army of fighting cultivators. The incubating God Domain Nest was almost like a treasure fountain as treasures kept emerging from it. Some of the treasures even landed about thousand miles away. Even though there were many treasures, the number of cultivators fighting over them was much greater. When a peak grade god material or god spiritual herb appeared, up to hundreds of cultivators would charge forward to fight for it. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was not any weaker than the average Heavenly God Stage cultivators and the first thing he spotted was a peak grade Underworld God Stone. The Underworld God Stone was a god material used to forge storage ring. For cultivators under the World God Stage, this item was incredibly precious. Even though there were many storage rings in the God World, very few cultivators used storage ring with unknown origins. No one could be certain if these storage rings with unknown origins had any sort of marks on it. "Scram." Another Nascent God Stage cultivator threw a fist at Mo Wuji because he had also spotted this Underworld God Stone. He was more aware than Mo Wuji of the true value of an Underworld God Stone produced from the incubation of the God Domain Nest. Chapter 912: Medicinal Cauldron Stone Chapter 912: Medicinal Cauldron Stone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will was much stronger than the Nascent God Stage cultivator. At the same time this Nascent God Stage cultivator came in, Mo Wuji saw another expert coming in. Mo Wuji¡¯s guessed that he should be at least in Heavenly God Intermediate Stage. No matter how precious an Underworld God Stone was, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t fight against a Heavenly God Stage expert for it. Mo Wuji had his Undying World to keep whatever he deemed valuable so it didn¡¯t matter much to him. Moreover, a storage bag worked the same way for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji, who was initially charging towards the Underworld God Stone, changed direction at the very last minute. Seeing how Mo Wuji acted tactfully, that Nascent God Stage cultivator grunted coldly. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know how to act, he would have severely injured Mo Wuji. However, just when the Nascent God Stage cultivator came into contact with that Underworld God Stone, a powerful elemental energy enveloped him. Before he could even react, a white radiance pierced straight through his forehead. Not only did he lose that piece of Underworld God Stone, his storage ring was also snatched. Mo Wuji noticed how the previous Nascent God Stage cultivator was killed with a simple move by that Heavenly God Stage cultivator. Neither did anybody around feel odd nor bother about the entire process so Mo Wuji understood that the items of this place really had no relation with the weak. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji saw yet another Nascent God Stage cultivator slapped to his death by an expert in the God Monarch Stage. Looking at the flying treasures in the sky, Mo Wuji decided to back out. This place was simply too dangerous for Nascent God Stage cultivators. Even if you managed to pick up a good item, you will be easily killed in the very next moment. Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t interested in the average items but if he saw a decent item, someone stronger would also have noticed it. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t fight for anything and only depended on his own Wind Escape Technique, nobody would be bothered with him. When the God Domain Nest incubated, countless treasures would descend and some would land very far away. However, most of the treasures would land in the periphery of the God Domain Nest. The further Mo Wuji head outwards, the lesser people were around. Those who wished to obtain treasures would have to head closer to the periphery of the God Domain Nest. Despite not obtaining any treasures, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t feel at loss. In this place, he saw endless laws of Heaven and Earth and even stepped into the Nascent God Stage Level 2. Additionally, he even found the rough location of the dark type laws. A massive grey stone brought by a whiz of wind charged towards Mo Wuji¡¯s position. Just as Mo Wuji was about to dodge and retreat further, his spiritual will sensed an energy of a law within the grey stone which he had never encountered before. This law seemed to have a type of vitality dao spirituality within it. Mo Wuji had the vitality channel so he was extremely sensitive to vitality dao spirituality. He opened up his palm to catch the massive grey stone. Even before he permeated his spiritual will into the stone, Mo Wuji felt incredibly comfortable. It almost felt like he caught hold of a god herb instead of stone. No, it was more like a one in a billion type energy of a god herb. Just as Mo Wuji was about to send that stone into his Undying World, a stern voice was heard. "Put that down or you shall die." Following that voice was an supremely oppressive energy upon Mo Wuji. This was definitely the energy of a Heavenly God Advanced Stage expert. In the face of an expert like this, why would Mo Wuji hesitate at all? Following a few continual spatial teleportation, Mo Wuji executed his Wind Escape Technique in full force. If he hadn¡¯t got hold of the item and it was an ordinary item, Mo Wuji could still give it up. Now that he already held it, everyone else could forget about snatching it away or harbor onto any hopes that he would give it away. Even with his Wind Escape Technique in full force, Mo Wuji could still feel the indistinct threat behind him. Mo Wuji even mobilised his spirit storage channel as his entire body seemed to have merged as one with the wind. From this, Mo Wuji could tell that this fella was undoubtedly strong. Because this fella gave up fighting for the other treasures in the God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji guessed that this stone was probably not simple as well. Only when Mo Wuji was about to reach the human district of the God Domain Nest, he finally felt that he might have shaken off that threat behind him. Even so, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to slow down as he continued at full speed into the God Domain Nest. Simultaneously, he sent his storage bag and face mask all into his Undying World. After recovering his original appearance, Mo Wuji entered the encampment of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. ¡­ The Heavenly Mortal Sect was calm and peaceful as usual. Perhaps because of Shen Ming¡¯s incident, very few disciples dared to head out. After waiting in his room for over three to four days to confirm that it was still calm and peaceful, Mo Wuji finally heaved a huge sigh of relief. He still didn¡¯t dare to analyse that grey stone because he still feels that it wasn¡¯t something simple. It was probably because he wasn¡¯t very sure about the different ores and materials in the God Domain. After a full month and just after Mo Wuji stabilised his Nascent God Stage Level 2, Wei Jie came to look for him once more. "Wuji, are you able to return the face mask which you¡¯ve borrowed previously?" The first question Wei Jie asked was for his mask. Mo Wuji said awkwardly, "Elder Wei Jie, I saw a sacred art which I liked but because I didn¡¯t have enough god crystals, I could only sell the face mask to make up for the amount. Eventually, I did manage to exchange for the sacred art¡­" "You¡­" When Wei Jie heard that Mo Wuji sold the mask which Wei Jie lent him, he pointed at Mo Wuji furiously with no words. He was already considered despicable but he didn¡¯t expect Mo Wuji to be many folds worse than him. Mo Wuji walked in front of Elder Wei Jie before patting him. "Elder Wei Jie, don¡¯t worry about it. I will definitely repay you with at least an intermediate grade face mask in the future." Mo Wuji was also feeling helpless because the face mask would have been exposed the instant he was chased. If he were to return Wei Jie the face mask now, he would be harming Wei Jie. "Count me as unlucky then. Ancestor had returned and had called out for you." Wei Jie was still fuming and was exceedingly regretful that he lent Mo Wuji the mask. No, he was regretful that he recruited Mo Wuji into the Heavenly Mortal Sect. "Many thanks, Elder Wei Jie." Mo Wuji answered as he sped out. He really didn¡¯t want to see Wei Jie show him his look of disdain. ¡­ "Come in." Mo Wuji had only just arrived at the entrance and Pang Jie¡¯s words were heard. Mo Wuji bowed to show his respect as he entered. Even though Pang Jie held him in high regard and was also very polite to him, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart had extreme admiration for this God King Pang Jie. "Wuji, the God Domain Nest has been completely incubated. Presently, the entire periphery around the incubated area was protected by defensive arrays. Nobody would be allowed to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest." Mo Wuji hurried to say, "After the God Domain Nest incubated, are there any arrangements to enter?" He was most concerned as to whether he himself could enter the God Domain Nest. Having seen the dark type laws, Mo Wuji was full of anticipation to be able to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest to cultivate the dark type laws. Pang Jie sighed, "Even though the newly incubated area here was extraordinarily huge, it didn¡¯t have much relation to disciples of my Heavenly Mortal Sect." ¡®Why?" Mo Wuji looked confusingly at Pang Jie. Pang Jie explained. "For the newly incubated God Domain Nest, sects with one God King can allow up to five people to enter. Those with two God Kings could allow ten people. This was the number of people who could enter without any conditions. Because of the massive area incubated this time around, there would be even more people entering it. The remaining slots are all decided through battles. My Heavenly Mortal Sect doesn¡¯t have any outstanding disciples so I can only say that the slots earned from battles are of no concern to my sect." Pang Jie couldn¡¯t help but sigh. There were many slots to be won from the battles but the Heavenly Mortal Sect only had five slots which were incredibly little. Mo Wuji also fell silent. He was in the Nascent God Stage Level 2 and he really didn¡¯t fear any Nascent God Stage experts. However, could he enter any battle? Every sacred art of his was a huge sacred art which touched upon a brand new law of Heaven and Earth. Other than being worried about exposing his sacred arts, Mo Wuji was more worried that when he attacked, God Kings could tell that he didn¡¯t have primordial spirit or spirit channels. He was afraid because the difference between his cultivation level and a God King was simply too drastic. "You don¡¯t have to worry. Among the five slots that we¡¯re awarded, you will definitely have one. The four other slots will also be left for you to assign. Wuji, your ability to comprehend things is very high so no matter which disciples you choose to enter the God Domain Nest with you, you have to exercise extreme caution. We rather obtain fewer treasures than to lose a life." Pang Jie went on to console Mo Wuji when he saw that he fell silent. "Disciple understands but may I ask what are the different stages of cultivators allowed to enter?" Mo Wuji was worried that mighty Heavenly God Stage cultivators might also be allowed to enter the God Domain Nest. Regardless of how strong he was, he would merely be an ant in front of a Heavenly God Stage expert. "Mainly Nascent God Stage and Heavenly God Stage but there¡¯s no need for you to over-worry. The newly incubated God Domain Nest had countless of treasures so in the first few years, nobody would usually be fighting for treasures. There were simply too many good items everywhere." Pang Jie explained. When he mentioned about fighting, Pang Jie seemed to have thought of something. "Before entering the God Domain Nest, try your best to restrain our disciples from heading to the business district. When the God Domain Nest incubated, an extraordinary peak grade treasure appeared. It is called the Medicinal Cauldron Stone." "Medicinal Cauldron Stone?" Mo Wuji suddenly recalled of the grey stone, which was filled with vitality, and kept by him. Could that be the Medicinal Cauldron Stone? Was he really that lucky? Pang Jie nodded, "Yes, Medicinal Cauldron Stone. The Medicinal Cauldron Stone was a stone which accumulated vitality laws of the Heaven and Earth and dao spirituality of all living things. This stone was a natural material meant to forge the Medicinal Cauldron and was considered a Xiantian material. This material was a priceless treasure to anyone and everyone and it might be very difficult to even find this stone in the newly incubated God Domain Nest. The peakest grade medicinal cauldron between heaven and earth was forged using the Medicinal Cauldron Stone. Also, the medicinal cauldron forged by the Medicinal Cauldron Stone also has a unique characteristic which every cultivator dreamt of: Advancement to the next level. This Medicinal Cauldron Stone had been snatched by a disguised cultivator who entered the God Domain Nest later on. A few big God Kings were searching the entire God Domain Nest for it so, disciples of my Heavenly Mortal Sect must try not to head out. Even if you didn¡¯t fight for items at the God Domain Nest, none of you should reveal your face outside at this point in time." "Yes," Mo Wuji bowed as his heart was thumping fast. He was certain that the stone he obtained was a Medicinal Cauldron Stone. Now that he had obtained the Medicinal Cauldron Stone, he wouldn¡¯t risk his life to head out unnecessarily even without Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s warning. As for this Medicinal Cauldron Stone, he wouldn¡¯t hand it over for anyone else to refine it too. He had decided to forge out a medicinal cauldron on his own. Chapter 913: Heavenly Mortal Sect’s Humiliation Chapter 913: Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Humiliation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Mo Wuji returned to his own room, he used his spiritual will to scan the outside. Indeed, the entire God Domain Nest was pasted with wanted posters. The person on the wanted poster was drawn very clearly and it was a dark skinned cultivator with thin eyes. Mo Wuji jumped up in shock at the sight of this dark skinned man with thin eyes. This man was him after using the Dry Wimple Pill to disguise himself. It was only after this appearance which he added yet another face mask borrowed from Wei Jie. In other words, if he didn¡¯t consume the Dry Wimple Pill and used the face mask directly, he would have been discovered by now. Or rather, if the person pursuing him was slightly stronger at the God Monarch Stage, even the Dry Wimple Pill wouldn¡¯t be able to conceal his original appearance. Fortunately, he was being pretty cautious back then. He was so close to being listed as wanted. Mo Wuji withdrew his spiritual will quickly because he would likely implicate the entire Heavenly Mortal Sect if exposed. As long as Mo Wuji didn¡¯t head out, nobody would be able to capture the person who took the Medicinal Cauldron Stone away. Two more months passed by, Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level had finally stabilised at the Nascent God Stage Level 2 and Wei Jie came to his room again. "Elder Wei Jie, I¡¯ve said that I will definitely return the face mask to you in the future but there¡¯s nothing I can do if you come over to find me every day." Even before Elder Wei Jie said anything, Mo Wuji went straight to the point. Wei Jie stared at Mo Wuji for half a day before asking. "Some time ago, everyone in the God Domain Nest was looking for a fella who took the Medicinal Cauldron Stone. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re that fella?" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart froze and he inwardly praised Wei Jie for his shrewdness. Mo Wuji said with a monotonous voice, "Yes and I even killed a few God Monarch experts." Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, Wei Jie started laughing out loud. Mo Wuji did borrow the face mask from him but rumours spread that the person who chased the fella with the Medicinal Cauldron Stone was an extremely strong Heavenly God Stage expert. Even some of the bigger sects¡¯ experts in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage might not be his match. If it was really Mo Wuji, he wouldn¡¯t be well and alive talking to Wei Jie here. "Tell me why you¡¯re looking for me again then. I have nothing to compensate for your face mask now so this will have to wait for the future." Mo Wuji spoke after seeing how Wei Jie was frightened by him. Wei Jie chuckled and replied, "There¡¯s no hurry regarding the face mask. The battle for slots to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest had begun. Do you want to go and take a look or even participate?" Mo Wuji shook his head, "I didn¡¯t even register myself and furthermore, heading there with a low cultivation like me would achieve the same result if I didn¡¯t go." "Who told you that registration is needed? Let me tell you ah, every cultivator in the God Domain Nest can participate. The battle will be divided into Nascent God Stage and Heavenly God Stage. Moreover, for the competition this time around, strength wouldn¡¯t guarantee victory. If your luck is good, earning a slot for the sect isn¡¯t impossible with your cultivation level." Wei Jie looked at Mo Wuji with another disdainful look. Even though Wei Jie was an elder, Mo Wuji¡¯s status in the Heavenly Mortal Sect was actually not lower than him. Therefore, there was no need to address each other as senior or junior. Even if there was a need to differentiate who was the senior and junior, Wei Jie wasn¡¯t able to differentiate. This fella, Mo Wuji, actually cheated him of his low grade god face mask. "Such thing is still possible?" When Mo Wuji heard that low cultivation level could also obtain a slot, he was instantly interested in joining. However, he stifled this thought very quickly. He already had a slot so not participating would do him better. "Of course and I am here to get you." Wei Jie patted on Mo Wuji¡¯s shoulder before saying. "I shall disregard any former hatred between us." Mo Wuji smiled as he replied. "I don¡¯t feel like going and I still need to cultivate in seclusion." Wei Jie suddenly lowered his voice before saying, "Wuji, do you not know that we have to give away all five of our slots?" "What?" Mo Wuji looked shockingly at Wei Jie. Pang Jie had already told him that the Heavenly Mortal Sect had five slots to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji was convinced that Pang Jie would not lie to him. Even if these five slots had to be given away, Pang Jie would have informed him beforehand and not let Wei Jie pass on the message to him. Wei Jie looked sympathetically at Mo Wuji before retrieving a water crystal ball. "Ancestor is currently not in the encampment and the reason is in this water crystal ball. Go take a look yourself." Mo Wuji activated the water crystal ball and Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s body appeared within the space. He said to Mo Wuji with an apologetic face. "Wuji, I need to pay a visit to the God King Hall of the God Domain Nest. My Heavenly Mortal Sect has a three words (Heavenly Mortal Sect) tablet nominated by Ancestor Guan Huan. No matter what, I must get this tablet back to the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Among the many conditions stated by the Nine Evolutions God Sect, one of them was to give up all five of our slots to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Wuji, I will try my very best to retain one slot for you¡­" Mo Wuji stared dazedly at Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s disappearing figure but his heart had no complaints. If there were any, it would only be deep helplessness and humiliation. This humiliation was not only to him but also the Heavenly Mortal Sect and Ancestor Pang Jie. Ancestor Guan Huan¡¯s nominated ¡®Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯ tablet actually appeared at the Nine Evolutions God Sect. Evidently, it was stolen by the Nine Evolutions God Sect many years ago. The Nine Evolutions God Sect stole the Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Ancestor tablet and even demanded the Heavenly Mortal Sect to exchange for it with treasures. As for the five slots, Mo Wuji instantly knew that it was the Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s method to beat down the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Preventing the rise of the Heavenly Mortal Sect was ultimately their goal. If a disciple of the Heavenly Mortal Sect were to come across some rare opportunities in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, it would only be developing a mightier enemy for the Nine Evolutions God Sect themselves. Mo Wuji could imagine the humiliation and helplessness Ancestor Pang Jie must have felt while saying these words. It was a helplessness from not being strong enough. Otherwise, how could a God King like himself break his promise of a slot to his disciple? Mo Wuji bowed at the water crystal ball before saying. "Senior Brother don¡¯t have to worry about me. I will definitely use my own methods to obtain the rights to enter the God Domain Nest." After saying that, Mo Wuji turned back to the half shocked Wei Jie. "Elder Wei Jie, please tell me about the selection methods of the God Domain Nest battle and how to qualify. I want to participate in the battle selection." "Wuji, what did you just address Ancestor as?" Wei Jie looked unbelievably at Mo Wuji. "There¡¯s no need for you to care about this. Hurry up and explain the main points to me." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. So what if he was exposed? Back then, he was chased by three Immortal Emperors and many big sects but didn¡¯t he make it out alive too? At the thought of this, Mo Wuji suddenly felt as though a gate in his heart had opened widely. He was suddenly brimming with an indescribable confidence in himself. "Wuji, why do you feel different from earlier." Wei Jie could instantly notice the change in Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji laughed as he replied. "Because I was over-thinking previously so I was fearful and nervous about everything I do. Fortunately, I still had some luck¡­" At the topic of luck, Mo Wuji paused. He thought about how he met the Medicinal Cauldron Stone while he was on the way out of the incubating God Domain Nest. Could this be luck? When he considered this, Mo Wuji thought about back when he tore apart and deprived the Immortal World¡¯s luck with that massive array just to return that luck back to the Immortal World. Could it be that because he broke the massive array, he obtained some of the Immortal World¡¯s luck from it? This was definitely possible because otherwise, why would that Medicinal Cauldron Stone appear coincidentally in front of him? There was a limit to things like luck so the more you used, the lesser you will have for the future. Even though Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t control when to use his luck, he knew that if escaping to the God Domain and obtaining the Medicinal Cauldron Stone were luck, he must have used up quite a bit of his entire lifetime worth of luck. "Big Brother Mo, you¡¯re going to participate in the battle selection?" Ku Cai hurried over even though Mo Wuji had no idea where she heard this news from. Mo Wuji recollected his loose thoughts as he answered, "Ku Cai, continue cultivating here and wait for me to be back." Ku Cai was still not strong enough to participate in the selections and since he was going to participate, he mustn¡¯t come back with only one slot. He made his decision to help Ku Cai earn a slot too. After waiting for Ku Cai to enter, Mo Wuji questioned again. "Elder Wei Jie, am I the only one from the Heavenly Mortal Sect who is going to participate in the selection?" Wei Jie looked speechlessly at Mo Wuji. "Wuji, you are definitely not short of confident. The entire Heavenly Mortal Sect is already participating except for you. Oh yes, Ku Cai is participating too." Hearing that he was the only disciple who wasn¡¯t participating yet, Mo Wuji turned awkward. He had also guessed that Elder Wei Jie came over to pass on Ancestor Pang Jie¡¯s words and also specifically to ask if he wanted to participate. Noticing that Mo Wuji looked awkward, Wei Jie didn¡¯t want to hurt his pride anymore as he continued to explain. "For the battle selection this time, anyone in the Nascent God and Heavenly God Stage experts would be able to join. There are a few types of selection. The first type would be to head over to the God Domain Nest¡¯s Tiandi Plaza to gain insights on laws. Within 10 days, the number of Heaven and Earth laws which you could gain insights upon would be the number of slots awarded to you. The second way would be to collect as many Five Elemental Sand at the God Domain Nest Sea as possible. Every complete Five Elemental Sand would be awarded one slot¡­" "Hold on, Elder Wei Jie, where is the God Domain Nest Sea? Why am I unaware of it?" Mo Wuji hurried to inquire. He knew of the Five Elemental Sand because he had a piece of the Five Elemental Soil. The Five Elemental Soil was formed from Five Elemental Sand. Just because the Five Elemental Sand formed the Five Elemental Soil, it didn¡¯t mean that the Five Elemental Sand was less valuable than the Five Elemental Soil. The Five Elemental Soil was a type of soil which contained attributes of the five elements while the Five Elemental Sand were five different sand. When all five different element type of sand was gathered, it would be much more valuable than the Five Elemental Soil. "There are plenty of places in the God Domain Nest which you are unaware of. Do you know about the God Domain Nest Desert? God Domain Nest Sword Pond?" Wei Jie looked despisingly at Mo Wuji. "The God Domain Nest Sea is an independent ocean which was covered up by endless fog throughout the year. The ocean was boundless and it was very hard for people to sink there. You will be unable to extend your spiritual will so the restraint on your god elemental energy was also incredibly strong. The Five Elemental Sands are hidden at the bottom of the God Domain Nest Sea¡­" Since Mo Wuji had cheated him off a face mask, Wu Jie felt satisfied to tease and look down on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind Wei Jie¡¯s attitude as he asked. "Elder Wei Jie, doesn¡¯t that mean to say that a full set of the Five Elemental Sands is very hard to find?" Wei Jie grunted, "Do you think that gaining insights over the laws in the plaza would be very easy? There are billions of laws in the Tiandi Plaza and even in a year, you might not be able to gain insights over one of the laws, let alone ten days. Moreover, the simple laws had already been taken away by others and every law enlightened by others would be equivalent to having one less law there." Chapter 914: Ten Great Vicious Cultivators Chapter 914: Ten Great Vicious Cultivators Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "So is the third way a direct battle of skills?" Mo Wuji was also slightly apprehensive. Even though the two ways in front had nothing to do with fighting, the two ways seemed to require some luck. Fortunately for him, he had his dao revelation channel. Even if he couldn¡¯t find any Five Elemental Sand in the God Domain Nest Sea, gaining insights over some dao laws in the Tiandi Plaza of the God Domain Nest shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him right? Wei Jie shook his head, "The third way is not a battle of fighting skills but a battle of dao." "Battle of dao? Isn¡¯t it the same as fighting?" Wei Jie smiled, "Fighting is indeed one component of the battle of dao. However, there are billions types of dao in the world which includes Equipment Dao, Pill Dao, Array Dao, Talisman Dao, etc." Mo Wuji finally seemed to understand the gist of it. If he was still in the Immortal World, he would definitely participate in this battle of dao and would certainly win a lot of slots. However, he was in the God Domain where his current Pill, Equipment and Talisman Dao were still very far off the average. His array dao was still comparable but Mo Wuji was convinced that with his current ability to forge out only a Grade 2 god array, obtaining a slot would not be very probable. "The fourth way would be the direct fight and this event would usually have the most participants. Because there are so many people joining, life and death were disregarded in the fight and it is an elimination competition." The remaining 1000 contestants would all receive one slot to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. The top 100 contestants would all receive 10 slots to enter the God Domain Nest while the top 10 would each receive 100 slots. Moreover, the slots are accumulative so if you were to finish in the top 10, you will receive a total of 111 slots¡­" "Top 1000 ah?" Mo Wuji exclaimed surprisingly. If there were so many slots to be given out, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for Mo Wuji to get a spot in the top 100 right? No wonder Pang Jie mentioned that there will be a lot of slots available this time around but the Heavenly Mortal Sect only had five. Even these five slots were snatched away by the Nine Evolutions God Sect. Wei Jie laughed coldly, "Please don¡¯t think that it is very easy to get into the top 1000. The people participating in the fight are basically the greatest and most talented geniuses from all over the God Domain. Furthermore, once you stepped onto the stage, you have to win three consecutive fights to enter the next round of elimination. Once you lose a single match, you are eliminated regardless of whether you¡¯re the challenger or not." Mo Wuji heard Wei Jie¡¯s explanation and he knew why there wasn¡¯t a need to register anymore. Once it was your turn, you would get to step onto the stage. Win and you guard the stage. Lose and you get eliminated so anyone could join but everyone only had one chance. While the duo spoke, they had already reached the periphery of the God Domain Nest¡¯s Tiandi Plaza. Looking at the densely packed crowd of cultivators, Mo Wuji finally understood what ¡®packed like sardines¡¯ looked like. The entire Tiandi Plaza was divided into two sides. On one side, people were seated with their legs crossed quietly as they seemed to be meditating. Even while Mo Wuji¡¯s naked eye couldn¡¯t see anything, he could sense that the quiet half of the plaza had dao spiritualities throughout the half of the plaza. It was literally filled with the endless energy of the laws of Heaven and Earth. On the other side with a boiling cauldron of voices, battle stages after battle stages were lined up on the plaza. There was a continual flow of people stepping onto the stage and also a good number of people crashing out of the stage. In fact, quite a number of cultivators were also directly killed on stage. Mo Wuji noticed the group of Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s disciples lining up there and Pu Yin was among them. From the determined look and eyes full of fighting spirit, Mo Wuji knew that Pu Yin would definitely want to try his luck for a slot here. "Wuji, will you choose to try your luck with the laws of Heaven and Earth or the direct fight?" As he noticed how Mo Wuji was staring at the battle stage, Wei Jie asked subconsciously. In his eyes, Mo Wuji would probably only stand a chance if he tried his luck at gaining insights for one of the laws instead of hoping to win on the battlestage. Just as Wei Jie asked, Mo Wuji saw a cultivator, as skinny as a monkey, sent a Nascent God Stage Level 9 expert flying. The Nascent God Stage Level 9 expert was still in mid-air as he exploded into a mist of blood. Mo Wuji thought to himself: This fella is so vicious. With the strength of this skinny monkey, he didn¡¯t need to explode that Nascent God Stage Level 9 expert into a mist of blood and would still be able to win easily. "Hehe, are you frightened now?" Wei Jie looked at Mo Wuji¡¯s flabbergasted look before chuckling again. "See that fella there? Even though he was as skinny as a monkey, he was the famous Senior Brother Death in the God Domain." "Senior Brother Death?" Mo Wuji repeated the term curiously. Wei Jie nodded, "Yes, he is indeed the Senior Brother Death and is one of the most terrifying Nascent God Stage cultivators of the God Domain Nest. Even though he was only in the Nascent God Stage Level 9, even the average Heavenly God Stage cultivators wouldn¡¯t dare to offend him." "I¡¯ve also heard that the Tang Wuzhen I faced off the previous time was also the most terrifying Nascent God Stage expert in the God Domain Nest." Mo Wuji chuckled as he wasn¡¯t too convinced. This skinny monkey is vicious and ruthless but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t believe the statement to say that Heavenly God Stage experts didn¡¯t dare to offend him. Despite being only in the Nascent God Stage Level 2, Mo Wuji was not fearful of this skinny monkey. Wei Jie laughed out loud, "Wuji, you mustn¡¯t think this way. Tang Wuzhen has an incredible sacred art and rumours spread that his starry sky magic treasure was even more terrifying. He was even dubbed as the future leading expert of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. Even so, he was still nothing compared to the Ten Great Nascent God Vicious Cultivators of the God Domain Nest. It wasn¡¯t because he wasn¡¯t strong enough but because he wasn¡¯t vicious enough." "Which Ten Great Vicious Cultivators?" "You saw that skinny monkey earlier? His name is Wu Liang and his nickname is the Senior Brother Death. Among the Ten Great Vicious Cultivators, he was only ranked number four. Ranked number one is a person called Jian Zheng and his nickname is The Third Hand. I¡¯ve never met him but I¡¯ve heard that he is always full of smiles with a tall and slightly fat built. He always attacks without mercy. In one second he could be smiling with you but the next second you might already be murdered by him without any reason or provokes. Ranked number two is a very pretty woman called Chai Yan, whose nickname is Heart Collector Fairy. Don¡¯t be bewitched by her appearance because this woman looks very innocent, cute and beautiful. She even likes to wear a nice white dress. In terms of viciousness, she wouldn¡¯t be worse than Jian Zheng. The most disgusting point about her was that she like to swallow cultivators¡¯ hearts and she likes it warm. She often hung around Jian Zheng and after Jian Zheng killed someone, she would go on to swallow their hearts. Ranked number three¡¯s nickname is Madman and he doesn¡¯t have a real name. His beard covered a great portion of his face and he will start acting like a madman everytime he attacked. However, nobody could get rid of him and unless they didn¡¯t have a choice, nobody was willing to¡­" Wei Jie suddenly stopped talking as Mo Wuji saw that skinny monkey Wu Liang walked across them. The skinny monkey even projected one of his teeth to Wei Jie. Wei Jie seemed to be frightened by him as he no longer had the mood to continue on." Mo Wuji patted on Wei Jie¡¯s shoulder before mocking. "Elder Wei Jie, aren¡¯t you a little too noob? You are already a Heavenly God Stage expert yet you get frightened by a Nascent God Stage cultivator. Please don¡¯t tell anyone you know me in the future." Wei Jie smiled awkwardly but didn¡¯t say anything. Out of nowhere, the skinny monkey turned around and asked. "What¡¯s your name?" Evidently, he was speaking to Mo Wuji. When the skinny monkey asked this question, everyone around him heard it and almost everyone subconsciously shifted out of the way. Being pointed out by Senior Brother Death would only mean you¡¯re unlucky. Mo Wuji smiled, "Mo Wuji." "Very good, I wish you that you live till a hundred years old." The skinny monkey also smiled as he turned and left. "Ai, you ah." Wei Jie shook his head speechlessly. The people surrounding them also hurried to move off. By wishing for someone to live till a hundred years old, wasn¡¯t he implying that you¡¯ve lived long enough and should die now? Who, in the God Domain, have yet to reach a hundred years old?" Mo Wuji touched his chin and thought to himself, have I reached a hundred years old? Even Mo Wuji himself doesn¡¯t seem to remember. As for skinny monkey Wu Liang¡¯s threat, Mo Wuji never took it seriously. He could still forget about it if he didn¡¯t mess with him. If this skinny monkey dared to mess with him, there wouldn¡¯t be this Senior Brother Death here in the world anymore. "Let¡¯s go and take a look at the Tiandi Plaza." Wei Jie changed the topic completely. Mo Wuji shook his head, "I don¡¯t feel like going to find insights on Laws." "Are you going to participate in the battle of dao?" Wei Jie was astonished because he didn¡¯t believe Mo Wuji would do that. With his limited capabilities, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t survive even if he had nine lives there. "I don¡¯t want to go to the battle of dao too. Bring me to the God Domain Nest Sea? I want to look for Five Elemental Sand." Mo Wuji wanted to try his luck there at the God Domain Nest Sea. If he really couldn¡¯t find the Five Elemental Sand, he will head back here to fight. Anyway, this elimination competition wouldn¡¯t end in a few days time. For items like the Five Elemental Sand, he could even keep it for his own use if he managed to find extra. Wei Jie looked dazedly at Mo Wuji before continuing. "Alright, I really hope you have enough luck to find the Five Elemental Sand." To find the Five Elemental Sand, luck was the main factor. What else, other than luck, could be important if one had to find sand within a boundless ocean without the help of spiritual will? The terrifying point was that people cannot sink in that ocean. Even when you finally figure out a way to sink to the bottom of the sea, you have to control and find ways to bring yourself up again. ... The God Domain Nest Sea wasn¡¯t very far away from the Tiandi Plaza. With Wei Jie leading the way, both of them reached within an incense worth of time. Even before he was near to the God Domain Nest Sea, Mo Wuji could sense that fishy smell of the ocean. This brought along a feeling of amiability. From afar, the entire God Domain Nest looked like there were only a minute few people wandering around. "Nobody will be watching over this place?" Mo Wuji asked confusingly. Logically speaking, this was the period of competition so someone should be here to record the results right? Wei Jie smiled, "The numbers here were already decent because it is the competition period. If it was usually, lesser people will be here. Go ahead yourself and I shall head back to the Tiandi Plaza first. Regardless, I have to try my luck too." Mo Wuji suddenly remembered that Heavenly God Stage experts were allowed to enter the God Domain Nest too. Wei Jie was in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage so it would be normal that he wanted to try his luck too. After Wei Jie left, Mo Wuji walked to the shore of the God Domain Sea. Only after standing by the shore, Mo Wuji realised what the few cultivators wandering about the shore was doing. These fellas were evidently trying their luck from the shore to see if they could find any Five Elemental Sand. This made Mo Wuji rather speechless because the Five Elemental Sand was also considered as a treasured item right? After so many years, it would have been picked up by people if it ever landed on the shore right? Chapter 915: Fortunate Puny Nascent God Chapter 915: Fortunate Puny Nascent God Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji''s spiritual will extended towards the sea water and indeed, none of it was able to seep through the surface. Mo Wuji walked into the sea and just like how Wei Jie described it to be, the buoyancy of the sea water was still strong. The good point was that because the god energy was still of use, Mo Wuji was able to submerge into the water. There were originally not a lot of people by the side of the God Domain Nest so when Mo Wuji submerged into the water, no one else saw him. Or even if someone were to see him, nobody would be bothered about him. Mo Wuji continued moving towards the deep sea as he tried to use his spiritual will again. Similarly, his spiritual will was still unable to extend downwards. Even if Mo Wuji were to condense his spiritual eye, he could only see the area within 3 feet radius of him. If he were to use his spiritual will forcefully, his sea of consciousness would instantly feel a sharp pain. Thankfully, he could still see with his spiritual eye. Even though he was only able to reach a distance of 3 feet, it was still better than using his bare hands to scramble around. Not only did Mo Wuji have the spiritual eye, he also possessed the spirit storage channel. When Mo Wuji extended the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel, he was astonished and then ecstatic. His spirit storage channel was not in the least affected just like during the incubation of the God Domain Nest. Using his spiritual will, Mo Wuji could finally see everything within the God Domain Nest Sea at one glance. No item could ever hide from him now. The formation of the God Domain Nest must be somehow related to the incubation of the God Domain Nest. Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence that his sea of consciousness spiritual will was also useless during the incubation and nothing could obstruct or hide from him when he used his spiritual will from the spirit storage channel too. Now that he could extend his spiritual will downwards, it made things much easier for Mo Wuji. Very soon, his spiritual will managed to sense a few cultivators at the bottom of the sea crawling around blindly. They weren''t able to see anything so they could only rely on their hands to look for the Five Elemental Sands. The spirit storage channel was indeed an incredibly useful feature as it had already helped him twice in the God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji no longer feared anything as he extended his spiritual will to cover as huge an area as possible. In a short period of time, his spiritual will managed to sense two water type Five Elemental Sands and one earth type Five Elemental Sands. During Mo Wuji''s continual venture into the deep sea, Mo Wuji started picking up Five Elemental Sands one after the other. Moreover, Mo Wuji even realised that for the same type of Five Elemental Sand, there was also a clear difference between the good ones and the bad ones. The attribute law within a good Five Elemental Sand would be very clear and was almost as big as the fist of an infant. The attribute law of the bad Five Elemental Sand would be extremely weak and it is also much smaller in size. The smallest would be like a quail egg while the biggest would at most be as big as a chicken egg. In just a few days, Mo Wuji picked up at least a thousand Five Elemental Sand. Because the elements of the Five Elemental Sand varied, Mo Wuji sorted them out and realised he had collected over 150 complete sets. Mo Wuji chose a few complete sets of Five Elemental Sand to put inside his storage bag as he decided not to continue. The Five Elemental Sand was indeed decent but he had already found enough to forge equipment with it. Any more would be redundant. Now that he had so many complete sets of Five Elemental Sand, there was no longer a need for Mo Wuji to participate in the fight. An intense tremble made Mo Wuji come to a halt. His spiritual will locked onto a circumference of 10 feet radius before slowly expanding outwards. According to Mo Wuji''s experience, the God Domain Nest might be vast but there wasn''t much danger in it. The tremble at the bottom of the sea brought along an intense elemental energy attack. Clearly, it was caused by a battle. When Mo Wuji''s spiritual will extended to over 30 feets, he saw a familiar person, Qu You. Mo Wuji recognised this woman because of her extreme beauty. Not too long ago, she even came to request for help from him at the Heavenly Mortal Sect''s encampment. At that point in time, he rejected her request. At this moment, Qu You was in extreme danger because there was a scar on her chest and fresh blood was spreading in the sea. Even so, Qu You maintained in high alert but Mo Wuji knew that she was blind and unaware of any danger around her at the bottom of the sea. Even though she looked cautious, she had no means of seeing anything that was approaching her. Mo Wuji didn''t leave the scene just like that. Even though he didn''t agree to help Qu You back then, his impression of Qu You wasn''t bad. This woman was incredibly gorgeous and even though she was born into a big sect, she wasn''t overbearing at all. Even though they were both from the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Mo Wuji had a more favourable impression of Qu You as compared to Lan Ou. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will continued to extend around the surrounding. What made Mo Wuji curious was that he didn''t actually see any existence attacking Qu You. Moments later, Mo Wuji noticed that Qu You wanted to float up gradually. Just as Qu You''s feets left the seabed, an exceedingly thin killing radiance pierced through the sea water as it charged towards Qu You''s forehead. Mo Wuji saw clearly that Qu You didn''t feel anything yet. This killing radiance which was shot towards Qu You didn''t exude any energy on the exterior. Even before the killing radiance reached a position, there was basically zero movement around the seawater. Because of this, Qu You didn''t feel or sense anything. Because of this killing radiance, Mo Wuji saw the fella who was trying to attack Qu You. This fella seemed to have used a special magic treasure as his entire body was the same colour as the seawater. He basically camouflaged himself in the water and if he didn''t look carefully, he might not be able to tell that there was someone there. Mo Wuji hesitated for a while. He was unaware of how this fella ambushing Qu You managed to find Qu You''s position but he still decided to help her. Just as Mo Wuji was about to intervene, Qu You seemed to be able to feel this ambush as she dodged it and took out a dagger. Because she was unable to extend her spiritual will, she could only draw a dagger out. "Boom!" The dagger struck against that killing radiance accurately. Even so, the wound on Qu You''s chest opened up even more because of the impact of this attack. The seawater surrounding her started trembling intensely once more. Regardless, Qu You managed to save her own life again. After this attack, Qu You grew even more cautious than before. Instead of trying to get to the surface, she simply retreated carefully. This Qu You was indeed quite skillful and it was no wonder that she was a core disciple of a big sect. Mo Wuji didn''t continue waiting as he immediately shot out a Spiritual Will Arrow. The Spiritual Will Arrow was much more powerful than the opponent''s killing radiance and it also brought along a mighty killing intent. It pierced through the sea water towards the concealed fella who tried to ambush Qu You. "Ai!" The Spiritual Will Arrow pierced through this fella''s chest and he was no longer camouflaged in the water. The fresh blood spread across the sea water like ink and that fella retreated frantically. Shortly after, he managed to disappear into the depths of the God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji truly admired this fella''s magic treasure. Even after his Spiritual Will Arrow pierced through the fella''s body, the killing intent didn''t continue to explode. Qu You was not a fool, she had already felt the power of Mo Wuji''s attack. Moreover, she could sense that someone was helping her. The person helping her even managed to injure the fella who tried to ambush her. As she didn''t know where Mo Wuji was, she could only clasp her fist in a random direction before leaving speedily. Mo Wuji was able to use his spiritual will at the bottom of the sea so without waiting for Qu You to charge out of the sea, Mo Wuji had already got out of the water with a few spatial teleportations. Mo Wuji had just left and Qu You, with a bloodied body, landed on the shore. She swallowed a few healing pills as she stared right at the God Domain Nest Sea. At this point in time, both Mo Wuji and the mysterious fella who ambushed her didn''t appear. ¡­ Mo Wuji didn''t return as he changed his clothing before arriving at the Tiandi Plaza of the God Domain Nest. The Tiandi Plaza''s battle stage was still ongoing ferociously and intensely. Mo Wuji was not interested in this as he headed straight to the God Domain Nest''s Hall of Affairs. According to Wei Jie''s words, one could exchange for the jade token to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest at the God Domain Nest''s Hall of Affairs. People continually entered and left the God Domain Nest''s Hall of Affairs and there were queues in front of a lot of windows. Some people were even distributing duties but there was not a single person in the area to exchange for jade tokens to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before eventually giving up on disguising himself. The main reason was that he didn''t have any good methods to disguise himself. The Dry Wimple Pill was nothing more than rubbish here in the God Domain. If there wasn''t the incident regarding the Medicinal Cauldron Stone, Mo Wuji would undoubtedly try to find a way to purchase pills for disguise before exchanging for the jade tokens. Because of the Medicinal Cauldron Stone incident, Mo Wuji was certain that the entire God Domain would be extremely cautious towards people who buy disguise pills. If he were to go and purchase disguise pills, he could be sending himself into a net. "You want to exchange for the jade tokens to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest?" A shocked Heavenly God Intermediate Stage cultivator looked at Mo Wuji. There was a window for people to exchange Five Elemental Sand for the newly incubated God Domain Nest''s jade tokens but not a lot of people would head there. It wasn''t because that these slots were more valuable but because the Five Elemental Sand was simply too difficult to find. In other words, even if people were to come and exchange, it wouldn''t be so quick. How long has it been? Someone found the Five Elemental Sand? "Yes¡­" Mo Wuji merely acknowledged as he looked at the signboard by the side. The signboard clearly displayed how to exchange Five Elemental Sand for the jade token to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Metal, wood, water, fire and earth type Five Elemental Sand would form a set. Every set could be exchanged for one jade token. At the same time, two sets for three jade tokens¡­ When Mo Wuji saw that five sets of the Five Elemental Sand could be exchanged for ten jade tokens, he took out five complete sets and handed them over with hesitation. "You are going to exchange five sets at one time?" The astonished Heavenly God Stage Cultivator stared at Mo Wuji. He had even forgotten to take the sets from Mo Wuji''s hand. Mo Wuji asked, "Is there a problem with it?" Mo Wuji was well experienced in dealing with such matters. He knew that it was very abrupt to take out five sets at one go but he had no other choice. He was the Da Shixiong so he had to take care and bring his few junior disciples along. Out of the five sets which he took out, only a quarter of the Five Elemental Sands were the peak grade. another quarter of the lowest grade while the rest were all in the intermediate grade. "No problem, no problem." The Heavenly God Stage cultivator responded. He checked the five sets of Five Elemental Sand before handing Mo Wuji ten jade tokens. Even after Mo Wuji had left the Hall of Affairs, this attendant had yet to regain his composure. He suspected that Mo Wuji might have found a Five Elemental Sand nest within the God Domain Nest Sea. This might be why he managed to collect so many at once. At the thought of that, he shook his head because this wasn''t the first time such a thing happened. Previously, there was someone who found over 100 Five Elemental Sand at the same spot in the God Domain Nest Sea. He could only say that this puny Nascent God Stage Cultivator was too fortunate. Chapter 916: Visitors Chapter 916: Visitors Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As ten jade tokens to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest entered his hands, Mo Wuji hurriedly left Tiandi Plaza back to his encampment. Even though he wanted to see the performance of his fellow Heavenly Mortal Sect at the Battle Stage, the moment he thought about the Medicinal Cauldron Stone, he lost his interest. With his current ant-like status, even Pang Jie wouldn''t be able to protect him. If anyone noticed his tracks, then he would be screwed. ¡­ On the seaside of God Domain¡¯s Nest, tens of thousands of miles away from Mo Wuji, a bloodied cultivator was staggering His aura felt defeated but his eyes burned with hatred. Ever since he embarked on the Dao, he, Tie Zheng, had never suffered a loss like this before. He was actually heavily injured by someone''s invisible sword intent. If not for his 3000 Soft Water Suit, he might already be killed. Unfortunately, his 3000 Soft Water Suit hadn''t been fully refined. Otherwise, he wouldn''t even have suffered any injuries. The way Tie Zheng looked at it, it wouldn''t be hard to find that person. There definitely wouldn''t be many people like him who could use skills in the seafloor of God Domain Nest; there might not even be a third person. He could do this because of the 3000 Soft Water Suit. This was a magic treasure that was infinitesimally close to the Xiantian level; it could be considered a Half Xiantian treasure. The reason why it was only Half Xiantian was because this 3000 Soft Water Suit wasn''t naturally formed, but was refined from the Houtian stage. This water suit brought its own Laws, and even though he hadn''t fully refined it, he could borrow its power to release his spiritual will in the seafloor of God Domain Nest. This was also the reason why he could plot against Qu You. Supposedly, Qu You would undoubtedly die in his hands if they remained in the seafloor of God Domain Nest. However, he didn''t expect that some fella would appear to foil his plans and save Qu You. The thing that injured him was probably a type of Spiritual Will Arrow. Fortunately, his 3000 Soft Water Suit defended against the killing intent of the Spiritual Will Arrow. Otherwise, his entire sea of consciousness might have crumbled under that arrow. Since this person could use spiritual will at the seafloor of God Domain Nest, it meant that this fella was able to find large amounts of Five Elemental Sand. To find this fella, he only needed to see who traded large amounts of Five Elemental Sand. Even if there was no one now, he could get someone to take note of any future large transactions of large amounts of Five Elemental Sand. Exhaling deeply, Tie Zheng kept his water suit and swallowed some healing pills. Thereafter, he changed into a new set of clothes. After half an incense''s time, Tie Zheng, who previously looked like a water ghost, had now turned into a healthy and muscular man. He had a square face, round eyes and a beard which covered half of his face, giving him the appearance of a forthright warrior. With Tie Zheng''s current appearance, no one would think that he would hide in the seafloor of God Domain Nest to ambush Qu You. ¡­ God Domain Nest¡¯s Hall of Affairs. Not long after Mo Wuji left, Qu You appeared. She directly went to the window for missions to issue a mission. This mission was a request for Five Elemental Sand. The condition was that the negotiation had to be done face to face and the person that came forward with the Five Elemental Sand definitely wouldn¡¯t be placed in a disadvantageous position. The purpose of Qu You''s mission was to find Mo Wuji. She had similar thoughts to Tie Zheng; since her saviour could use a spiritual will attack at the seafloor of God Domain Nest, that meant that her saviour would definitely be able to find large amounts of Five Elemental Sand. The only difference between her and Tie Zheng was that she wanted to personally thank the person that saved her. At the same time, she had the intention of protecting the person that saved her. It was true that her cultivation wasn''t very high. However, she was from Forgotten Creek Dao School, a top class sect in the entire God Domain. Someone had actually dared to ambush her, Qu You. How could her Forgotten Creek Dao School let such a matter rest? She didn¡¯t even think that Mo Wuji would have exchanged his Five Elemental Sand immediately after he left the God Domain Nest Sea. If she had thought of that, she only needed to ask the window, instead of issuing a mission. "Junior Sister Qu, what a coincidence. You''re here to issue a mission?" Just as Tie Zheng walked through the entrance of the Hall of Affairs, he saw Qu You. Qu You knew about Tie Zheng. Tie Zheng was one of the core disciples of God Evolution Sect and could even be considered its future. Moreover, Tie Zheng¡¯s character was like his name - upright and unyielding (TIE gu ZHENG ZHENG). He did things in a forthright manner and he despised those that plot against others. "Greetings Senior Brother Tie. I want to look for Five Elemental Sand so I¡¯m here to issue a mission." Qu You hurriedly returned the greetings. She noticed that Tie Zheng¡¯s aura was slightly unstable; he seemed to be injured. However, Tie Zheng was extremely strong, his reputation was wide, and he was also a core disciple of the God Evolution Sect. Whether it was a struggle during the God Domain¡¯s Nest breeding period, or a battle at God Domain¡¯s Nest¡¯s Tiandi Plaza, who would injure, or even dare to injure him? "It''s not easy to find Five Elemental Sand. I came here to find my junior brother," Tie Zheng smiled and said. "Yes, it is. I will be leaving first." Qu You admired Tie Zheng. However, she wasn''t very familiar with him; they could only be considered as acquaintances. After seeing Qu You out of the Hall of Affairs, Tie Zheng frowned slightly. He started to think that his previous idea might have been wrong. Qu You was also looking for Five Elemental Sand. Clearly, she wanted to find the person who saved her. That was also the same person that he, Tie Zheng, wanted to find. If Qu You got wind that he was also searching for a person with Five Elemental Sand, she might get suspicious of him. If she could tell that he was heavily injured, then this suspicion would definitely get stronger. He definitely didn''t fear a single Qu You. However, the sect behind her was one that even his God Evolution Sect didn''t dare to provoke. Moreover, that fella that secretly attacked him was able to use spiritual will in the seafloor of God Domain Nest. How could that fella be a simple person? If that fella was also from a sect like the Forgotten Creek Dao School, then it wouldn''t be good for him, Tie Zheng, to be exposed. As he thought of this, cold sweat instantly trickled down Tie Zheng¡¯s back. If this matter was exposed, then not only would he lose the reputation that he took years to build, his God Evolution Sect would also be dragged down. Tie Zheng clenched his fists. He acted as though he was looking for someone as he walked around the Hall of Affairs. After walking an entire round, he turned and left the Hall. Just as Tie Zheng left, Qu You walked out of the establishment opposite the Hall of Affairs. She had seen it clearly; Tie Zheng was indeed looking for someone. This caused her to shake her head. What kind of person was Tie Zheng? Why would he hide in the seafloor of God Domain Nest just to ambush her? Even if Tie Zheng was injured, it definitely wasn''t in the God Domain Nest Sea. ¡­ "Mo Wuji?" Just as Mo Wuji walked into the God Domain Nest''s gathering area for sects, he heard a voice call out to him. Mo Wuji turned and saw a familiar face - Liu Ruting. This woman looked like she had already recovered. Moreover, her face was like a peach flower, giving her the charm of a mature woman. "Greetings Senior Sister Liu." Mo Wuji could tell that Liu Ruting was at least in the Heavenly God Stage, much stronger than him. Even though he didn¡¯t help Liu Ruting much, he could tell that this woman was relatively easy to fall in love. If he knew that he would encounter her, he would have rather hid outside for a little longer. In fact, he had already hid outside for half a day because he saw a cultivator with a similar silhouette as Yu Zhenna. "Why did you also come to God Domain Nest? Aren''t you an outer disciple? Did you come to help?" Liu Ruting asked a series of questions. When he heard these questions, Mo Wuji knew that this woman didn''t even ask about what happened with Xi Nianmo and him. Indeed, she was as he had predicted - she fell in love extremely easily. He, Mo Wuji, didn¡¯t actually help her much. It was Xi Nianmo, on the other hand, that helped Liu Ruting significantly. At the very least, all of the transfer fees for Liu Ruting to return to Nine Evolutions God Sect was paid by Xi Nianmo. "Oh, that Lu Xingteng only asked for Xi Nianmo and my name. Then, he left." Mo Wuji said indifferently. A look of anger instantly appeared on Liu Ruting''s face and she said, "Wow that Lu Xingteng He actually dared to do such a thing. If he''s unwilling to help with the arrangements, you only need to tell me. I will arrange it myself." Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. He didn''t even want to speak any further. If this woman was willing to arrange it by herself, then she would have known that he was no longer in Nine Evolutions God Sect. Liu Ruting''s came and left in a breeze, "Oh right, why are you here? This is the God Domain Nest''s gathering area for sects." Mo Wuji calmly said, "I have entered Heavenly Mortal Sect. Heavenly Mortal Sect''s Elder Wei Jie believes that my bone structure is perfect and my talent is unique. Thus, he accepted me as the sect¡¯s head disciple to manage the sect¡¯s external affairs." "Pssh!" Hearing Mo Wuji say that he was in charge of sect affairs, Liu Ruting could not help but laugh out loud. Thereafter, she seemed to notice that her laughter wasn''t very polite to Mo Wuji. She hurriedly added, "I didn''t mean that ah." Mo Wuji chucked, "That''s alright. That''s not the first time that someone did that. Farewell." With that, Mo Wuji no longer cared about Liu Ruting as he turned and walked into Heavenly Mortal Sect''s encampment. "Mo Wuji, if you need my help with anything, remember to tell me." Even as Mo Wuji left, Liu Ruting did not seem to notice his attitude. She still called behind him. "He''s called Mo Wuji?" A deep and gentle voice sounded beside Liu Ruting''s ear. Liu Ruting turned and saw Tie Zheng. "So it''s Junior Brother Tie. That''s right, he''s called Mo Wuji. He''s a fella with rather good luck." Liu Ruting snickered. "Oh, a fella with rather good luck?" Tie Zheng looked at the distant Heavenly Mortal Sect encampment and frowned slightly. Even though he only saw a glimpse of Mo Wuji''s back, he seemed to feel that he had met Mo Wuji before. However, he couldn''t recall where he met Mo Wuji. ¡­ "Wuji, come here for a moment." Just as Mo Wuji entered the Heavenly Mortal Sect encampment, Ancestor Pang Jie called out to him. "Yes." Even though Ancestor Pang Jie took away his promised placing, Mo Wuji¡¯s respect towards Pang Jie didn''t change. He responded and hurriedly went to Pang Jie''s quarters. "Greetings Senior Brother." Mo Wuji bowed as he entered the room. There were two other people in Pang Jie''s room. Mo Wuji recognised one of them; it was Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Lan Ou. There was also another middle-aged man. From his powerful aura, it was clear that he was a peak expert. "Senior Brother?" That middle-aged man stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Pang Jie chucked and said, "Dao Friend Ji, when I first met Wuji, it was like meeting an old friend. So, we address each other on equal levels." After saying that, Pang Jie said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, you know Senior Sister Lan Ou so I won''t be introducing her. This here is Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Elder Ji Yi. Hurry and pay your greetings." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Heavenly Mortal Sect disciple Mo Wuji greets Elder Ji Yi." He was feeling helpless in his heart; not for himself but for Pang Jie. Ancestor Pang Jie was clearly in the God King Stage while this Elder Ji Yi definitely wasn''t. However, Ancestor Pang Jie still had to treat him so cordially. This was true helplessness. It was because Heavenly Mortal Sect was too weak. On the other hand, a World God of Forgotten Creek Dao School had to be received by a God King. Chapter 917: Heavy Losses Chapter 917: Heavy Losses Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Wuji, Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Elder Ji Yi''s visit is actually related to you. After the opening of the newly incubated God Domain Nest, the Forgotten Creek Dao School would be organising a grand ceremony. If you''re willing, you can go and help," Pang Jie grinned and said. Seeing Mo Wuji''s flustered expression, Lan Ou hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Wuji, I''ve seen your abilities before. If you help, I''m sure you will do well." Originally, Lan Ou wanted to suggest for Mo Wuji to leave Heavenly Mortal Sect and join Forgotten Creek Dao School. They frequently organised grand ceremonies and if Mo Wuji were to join their sect, it would save them many troubles. However, Elder Ji Yi told Lan Ou that a God King had a God Kings pride. Even though Pang Jie was only an early stage God King, such actions of pulling Mo Wuji from Heavenly Mortal Sect to their Forgotten Creek Dao School would be akin to a slap on Pang Jie''s face. However, borrowing Mo Wuji was different. If Mo Wuji chose to join their Forgotten Creek Dao School after this, Pang Jie wouldn''t express any dissent. Even though Pang Jie was grinning, Mo Wuji could still detect the anger in Pang Jie''s heart. In reality, Pang Jie was truly angered. However, he was helpless against it. Nine Evolutions God Sect constantly tried to attack his Heavenly Mortal Sect. Besides Nine Evolutions God Sect, Heavenly Mortal Sect still had other enemies hidden in the shadows. If they were to offend Forgotten Creek Dao School as well, then even his power as a God King would be useless to his Heavenly Mortal Sect. Mo Wuji smiled faintly and clasped his fists towards Ji Yi and said, "Many thanks, Elder Ji Yi and Senior Sister Lan Ou for looking so highly upon me. If not for the newly incubated God Domain Nest, I would naturally offer my help. But now that the God Domain Nest has been newly incubated, as a normal man, I would also like to try my luck. Thus, I will not leave here for now." Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Pang Jie sighed. He felt that he had left Mo Wuji down. Those five placings had all been taken by Nine Evolutions God Sect. A God King like him wasn''t even able to obtain a placing for his sect¡¯s disciple. How disgraceful was that? On the other hand, Ji Yi jolted slightly when he heard Mo Wuji''s words. It didn''t matter that Mo Wuji was a toad trying to eat a goose¡¯s flesh. Mo Wuji was a cultivator, and as a cultivator, he wanted to go into the newly incubated God Domain Nest to search for opportunities. Was he in the position to stop Mo Wuji? Obstructing others in their path of cultivation was the gravest enmity that one could commit. "Sorry Wuji, I didn''t manage to keep the placings¡­" Even though Pang Jie was helpless, he still told the truth. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "There are no worries. I managed to obtain a placing by myself. Oh right, I just came from God Domain Nest''s Tiandi Plaza. I''m rather interested in the Law Insights there." Pang Jie''s heart pounded. He was very clear that Mo Wuji''s perception was very strong. Perhaps Mo Wuji could actually gain insights on a Law there? "Dao Friend Ji, since that''s the case, then why don''t you help Wuji get an opportunity to try?" Pang Jie grinned and asked. Even though he phrased it as a question, he was already determined to let Mo Wuji have a try. Even if Ji Yi looked down on Heavenly Mortal Sect, he wasn''t able to reject such a reasonable request from God King Pang Jie. He could only smile and accept the request. ¡­ Two months passed in a flash. Mo Wuji didn''t go to gain insights from Tiandi Plaza as he had said. Instead, he had been cooped in his room studying on the Array Dao. He didn''t tell Pang Jie that he had obtained ten jade tokens to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. It wasn''t that he didn''t trust Pang Jie; he simply didn''t have the chance. After Pang Jie sent Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Elder Ji Yi off, he never returned. Now, the time to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest had already come. After being in seclusion for two months, the first person Mo Wuji saw after leaving his room was Wei Jie. Wei Jie¡¯s breathing was unstable. Clearly, he had suffered some injuries. "Elder Wei Jie, you?" Mo Wuji stared at Wei Jie questioningly. Wei Jie sighed, "I can only blame my naivety. I actually tried to fight for a placing to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. If not for the talisman that Ancestor gave me, I would already have been killed by that bastard." "Who?" Mo Wuji subconsciously asked. He knew that he wouldn''t be able to help much against someone that could almost kill Wei Jie. But if he knew the person, he might actually be able to help Wei Jie get back at him in the future. Wei Jie looked very slippery but he was actually a good person. Wei Jie waved his hand, "Death cannot be prevented on the Battle Stage. It''s due to luck that I''m able to come here. Ai, our Heavenly Mortal Sect has suffered heavy losses this time. Out of our 50 disciples that came, 11 were killed in the Battle Stage." "What?" Mo Wuji was truly shocked. 11 killed out of a total of 50 was truly too preposterous. If there was such a high percentage of death on the God Domain Nest''s Battle Stage, then how many people die every time the God Domain Nest opens? Wei Jie said in a hushed volume, "This matter might be intentional. Because our Heavenly Mortal Sect has the highest rate of deaths. During many battles, after one of our Heavenly Mortal Sect''s disciples win a match, an expert will immediately take over the next one." Mo Wuji''s expression turned ugly. Even though many disciples of Heavenly Mortal Sect supported Pu Yin, they were still of the same sect. How could he not feel angered when his sect members were being bullied? "But we are not without gain. Two of our people managed to enter the top 1000 and obtained the rights to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Ancestor Pang Jie isn''t around now. Ancestor has passed the sect''s affairs on to us. When our two disciples are entering the newly incubated God Domain Nest, we will send them off," Wei Jie continued speaking. "Big Brother Mo¡­" Ku Cai¡¯s voice sounded. Zhu was standing behind her. The moment Mo Wuji looked at Zhu''s arm, he knew that one of Zhu¡¯s arms had been decapitated. This arm of Zhu''s should have been regrown due to a pill. However, the tier of the pill that he used wasn''t very high; the aura of his arm was still extremely weak. Mo Wuji didn''t need to ask; Zhu''s arm was definitely chopped off on the Battle Stage. "All the disciples in the encampment, gather at the hall." Ancestor Pang Jie wasn''t present and Elder Wei Jie seemed to be cowering. Thus, Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate to announce that order loudly. When Wei Jie heard Mo Wuji''s orders, he didn''t find it out of the blue. Don''t simply look at the fact that he was an elder. In his heart, his position was the same as Mo Wuji; he wasn''t higher than Mo Wuji, this External Affairs Hall Master. The Heavenly Mortal Sect''s disciples soon gather at the hall. Mo Wuji counted the numbers; including Wei Jie and him, there were only a total of 37 people? Out of the 37 people, most of their breaths were unable; they were clearly injured. As for their auras, they were much weaker than when everyone first arrived. Wei Jie didn''t say a word. In fact, he intentionally stood one step behind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s gaze swept across the disciples. He said slowly, "Our Heavenly Mortal Sect is a newly opened sect. We face many difficulties, as well as the pressure from other sects. However, our Heavenly Mortal Sect is one with a God King. In the past, it was also a top-class sect. One day, our Heavenly Mortal Sect will stand tall in God Domain." No one said a word. Everyone was listening to Mo Wuji''s words seriously. "This time, many of our fellow disciples died in the fight for placings to the newly incubated God Domain Nest¡­" As Mo Wuji said this, he stopped abruptly. He asked, "Where are Pu Yin and Di Butong?" Besides the few that came with Mo Wuji, he didn''t recognise many of the 50 disciples. Even so, Mo Wuji knew Pu Yin. Although the two of them had some conflicts, Mo Wuji still hoped that Pu Yin hadn''t died on the Battle Stage. Yin Lin stood up and said, "Senior Brother Di died on the Battle Stage¡­" Di Butong, Yin Lin and Mo Wuji entered the sect at the same time. Back then, they weren''t accepted by other sects, which was why they came to Heavenly Mortal Sect. The one that brought them in was Elder Wei Jie. Previously, Pu Jia and Ai Dong¡¯Er had gone missing. Now, Di Butong had been killed. Out of the six people that entered the sect together, only Yin Lin, Ku Cai and Mo Wuji remained. Thus, when Yin Lin said that Di Butong had been killed, there was some hard-to-suppress grief in her eyes. "Who killed Di Butong?" Mo Wuji''s voice was cold. He knew that he wasn''t on the Battle Stage venue now. But if he had been there when Di Butong was killed, he would definitely have found it hard to resist the urge to go up on the stage and take revenge. "It was Senior Brother Death, Wu Liang. After you left, we met that Wu Liang. He even specially asked us what sect we are from," Wei Jie whispered beside Mo Wuji''s ear. Mo Wuji exhaled slowly. If he saw that Senior Brother Death in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, he would definitely slaughter that person. "Then Pu Yin?" Mo Wuji knew that it was useless to talk about that now. It would have to wait till he entered the God Domain Nest. "Senior Brother Pu Yin has entered into the top 1000 and has obtained a placing¡­" Yin Lin continued. Mo Wuji was slightly shocked, "Pu Yin got into the top 1000?" Even though Wei Jie said that two people had got into the top 1000, Mo Wuji didn''t think that it would be Pu Yin Yin Lin nodded, "Yes. Our sect has two disciples that entered the top 1000. One is Senior Brother Pu Yin and the other is Senior Brother Shi Bian. Because Senior Brother Pu Yin obtained a placing, he went to recce the newly incubated God Domain Nest, probably to prepare himself for its opening." "Then what about Shi Bian?" Mo Wuji asked. A young and ordinary looking youth stepped forward and clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji, "Shi Bian greets Da Shixiong." Mo Wuji took a look at this disciple called Shi Bian. He was only in Nascent God Level 8. His skin was slightly dark and he was the kind that wouldn''t stand out if he was thrown into a crowd. Before Mo Wuji could say anything, Shi Bian brought out a jade token and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Head Senior Brother, this is the jade token to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. I obtained it. Now, I''m handing it to Da Shixiong to allocate it." Even though Shi Bian didn''t directly say that he was giving Mo Wuji this jade token, it was already extremely impressive of Jim to hand this jade token over to Mo Wuji to allocate. If it was someone else, he probably wouldn''t even have done such a thing. Mo Wuji patted Shi Bian and said, "Junior Brother Shi Bian, this jade token is obtained through your own abilities. Later, you will be going to the newly incubated God Domain Nest. For now, stand behind me." "Yes. Many thanks, Da Shixiong." Shi Bian emotionally kept the jade token. Compared to before, Shi Bian''s admiration towards Mo Wuji had increased. Previously, it was also this Da Shixiong, Mo Wuji, that resolved the matter Shen Ming. Now, the Pu Yin that was fighting with Mo Wuji for the position of Da Shixiong had already gone to the newly incubated God Domain Nest. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was still standing here. What was the difference between the two of them? This was it. Chapter 918: Entering The Newly Incubated God Domain Nest Chapter 918: Entering The Newly Incubated God Domain Nest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji waited for Shi Bian to stand behind him before he continued, "This time, Elder Wei Jie and I will be bringing some people to the newly incubated God Domain Nest as Ancestor Pang Jie isn¡¯t here. Even though the encampment is very safe, we will need someone to take charge over here. I wonder whether any junior brother or junior sister is willing to volunteer for that role?" The remaining disciples glanced toward each other. More than ten breaths of time passed but no one came forward. Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to speak, two cultivators stepped forward at the same time. "Zhan Chou is willing to take over the affairs of Heavenly Mortal Sect for the time being." "Yu Minyi is willing." Zhan Chou was a medium built, had long hair that reached his shoulders, and his cultivation was at Nascent God Level 8. On the other hand, Yu Minyi was a female cultivator who was also at Nascent God Level 8. Clearly, these two people came forward because their cultivations were relatively strong. At the same time, they felt that Mo Wuji was more suitable than Pu Yin to be the head disciple. Mo Wuji brought out two jade tokens and handed them to Zhan Chou and Yu Minyi, "Keep these jade tokens. When Ancestor Pang Jie returns, the two of you can go to newly incubated God Domain Nest to try your luck." "This is a jade token to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest?" Zhan Chou accepted the jade token agitatedly; his voice was even trembling slightly. He had also taken part in the battle for the jade token. If not for his luck, he might have already been killed. "Da Shixiong, this is¡­" Yu Minyi was also extremely emotional. She didn¡¯t think that she could obtain this jade token. She didn¡¯t take part in the battle but she did go to the God Domain Nest Sea as well as the place to find insights on Laws. However, her efforts were to no avail. Mo Wuji nodded, "That¡¯s right. These are jade tokens to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. However, the two of you must wait for Ancestor Pan to return before you can enter." "Yes, we will definitely wait for Ancestor Pang to return." Zhan Chou¡¯s words were slightly incoherent. The number of placings to enter God Domain Nest might be more than ten thousand. However, you couldn¡¯t simply look at this number. How many Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods were there in the entire God Domain? Most of these cultivators wouldn¡¯t have this opportunity. And now, this opportunity was in front of all of them. "Senior Brother Wuji, I am also willing¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji take out the jade tokens to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest, several other disciples also came forward." Mo Wuji waved his hand, "We will leave it at that. Now, Elder Wei Jie, Ku Cai, Zhu, Yin Lin, Wei Ru, Chang Yizhi and Shi Bian will follow me to the newly incubated God Domain Nest. For the disciples staying in the sect encampment, all of you are to listen to the orders of Zhan Chou and Yu Minyi." Even Elder Wei Jie didn¡¯t speak at the moment, much less the other disciples. Most of them felt regret in their heart. Besides Elder Wei Jie and Shi Bian, who earned his own jade token, the people that Mo Wuji brought with him were the ones that followed him from the beginning. Mo Wuji had a total of 10 jade tokens. Excluding the people that followed him from the beginning, he gave one to Elder Wei Jie and two to Yu Minyi and Zhan Chou. He actually had one more left. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t intend to give this jade token away. He couldn¡¯t ignore the fact that these people didn¡¯t support him to become the Da Shixiong. Now, they didn¡¯t even dare to step forward to take charge of the encampment when Elder Wei Jie and him wouldn¡¯t be around. Such disciples must be dreaming if they think that he would give a jade token to them. ¡­ Even after they left the sect encampment, Wei Jie still couldn¡¯t believe that he had obtained a jade token to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. "Wuji, how did you get so many jade tokens?" Wei Jie said as he examined his jade token closely. Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "I know a disciple from a big sect. He gave me some jade tokens." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to talk too much about the jade tokens. Thus, after that simple answer, he turned to the group and said, "Various junior brothers and sisters, even though we have exchanged communication beads, the newly incubated God Domain Nest is vast and boundless. After we enter, we should all try to go in the same direction." "We know. Thank you, Wuji." Wei Jie carefully kept the jade token. As for the mask that Mo Wuji owed him, he had already cast that matter aside. How could a mere mask compare to a jade token to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest? In half a day, Mo Wuji, Wei Jie and co. came back to the periphery of the newly incubated God Domain Nest. The area was still the same as before - filled to the brim. The only difference was that an array had been installed over the entrance and there was an array gate in place. "Ancestor is over there." Yin Lin noticed Ancestor Pang Jie standing in the distance. Ancestor Pang Jie and several other God Kings were clearly here to manage the order for the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. Heavenly Mortal Sect didn¡¯t manage to obtain a placing but its God King still had to come here to do menial work. Indeed, one was nothing without strength. Even though there were many people here, Pang Jie noticed them when they arrived. He had an apologetic look on his face as he nodded towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was about to speak when he saw a familiar figure. Yu Zhenna. The moment he saw Yu Zhenna, Mo Wuji¡¯s heart turned cold. He definitely couldn¡¯t forget this woman. Looks like the silhouette he saw previously was really this woman. At this instant, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dare to try and discern her cultivation. Instead, he subconsciously took a few steps back. A bale and browless man took a step into mid-air. He spoke loudly, "The newly incubated God Domain Nest is now opened. Cultivators with the entrance jade token are to enter orderly. Because there are Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods this time, we hope that everyone would work together and not start disputes." Under normal circumstances, there would be few disputes in the opening years of a God Domain Nest. It wasn¡¯t because of such words but because the area in a God Domain Nest was extremely huge and everyone was bound to find something good. Thus, there was no need to fight one another. "That¡¯s God King Uncruel." Seeing Mo Wuji lower his head, Elder Wei Jie transmitted that message to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji simply acknowledged but he didn¡¯t speak any further. "That b*stard Pu Yin is really shameless. He¡¯s actually standing together with the people from Phoenix Soul God Estate." Yin Lin¡¯s eyes were sharp. While God King Uncruel was speaking, she managed to find Pu Yin. "There¡¯s no need to care about him. Everyone, don¡¯t let your spiritual will and eyes stray around." Mo Wuji hurriedly warned in a hushed voice. It wasn¡¯t because he was afraid of the rules. Instead, it was that he was afraid of Yu Zhenna. Until now, he still didn¡¯t know of this woman¡¯s origins. However, since she could stand here, and near the front nonetheless, showed that her origins were far from ordinary. When God King Uncruel finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, you can now enter the new God Domain Nest." The array gate opened and a passage formed out of white light led towards the depths of the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji specially stood at the back; he couldn¡¯t stand too close to Yu Zhenna. "Mo Wuji, why are you here?" An anxious voice could be heard. Mo Wuji turned and saw Xi Nianmo beside him. Xi Nianmo stared at Mo Wuji with shock and worry. In her eyes, Mo Wuji was still that intellectually damaged person. Thus, she found it hard to understand how Mo Wuji could get here. Seeing the genuine anxiety in Xi Nianmo¡¯s eyes, Mo Wuji knew that Xi Nianmo was truly worried about him. Compared to Liu Ruting, Xi Nianmo was more than a hundred times more compassionate. At this instant, seeing how anxious Xi Nianmo was of him, he could only say, "My condition has improved. This time, I came to see this lively event. Are you going in too?" Hearing that Mo Wuji¡¯s words were much more coherent than before, Xi Nianmo sighed with relief, "This isn¡¯t a place you should be. I suggest that you return back. I came here with my sect. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t have a token so I¡¯m only here to watch the show." "Ah, token? I have one here." Mo Wuji hurriedly passed his final token to Xi Nianmo. "You actually have this sort of token?" Xi Nianmo received the token and stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment. "You should hurry in. I will be with my friends." Mo Wuji nudged Xi Nianmo. Xi Nianmo was so excited that her arms were shaking. She carried a huge vengeance and she could only dream of entering this newly incubated God Domain Nest. However, she never had such an opportunity. Even though her talent was acceptable, she had just joined the sect. So how could she get the chance to obtain such a jade token? "Thank you, Big Brother Mo. Take care of yourself. If it¡¯s possible, wait for me at God Domain Nest. When I return, I will bring you to my sect." Xi Nianmo anxiously walked into the array gate. She didn¡¯t have time to ask Mo Wuji how he got this token. She only felt grateful towards him. Back then, she had only provided Mo Wuji with a little bit of help. But now, she got such a great opportunity in return. This was especially important as she needed to furiously raise her cultivation. "We should go in too." Mo Wuji finally said to Wei Jie and co. when he saw Yu Zhenna walk into the array gate. "Wei Jie, why are all of you here?" When they were not far from the array fate, Wei Jie received a transmission from Ancestor Pang Jie. Wei Jie hurriedly transmitted in response, "These jade tokens are all from Wuji. He¡¯s bringing us in with him. There¡¯re still two jade tokens in the encampment. When Ancestor returns, two more people can come in." "Good, good¡­" Pang Jie looked on towards Mo Wuji; his heart was filled with delight. Mo Wuji truly didn¡¯t disappoint him. Not only was Mo Wuji able to obtain a placing for himself, he even brought eight other disciples with him. Compared to that Pu Yin who went in alone, Mo Wuji¡¯s performance was more befitting of a head disciple. Chapter 919: Darkness Origin Chapter 919: Darkness Origin Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment they entered the newly incubated God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji and co. felt the turbulent Laws of Heaven and Earth. Compared to the outside, the Laws in the newly incubated area was simply chaotic without order. However, at every instant, the Laws seem to reorder themselves. Then, they would merge together in harmony. "Ku Cai will follow me. Everyone can go on their own. There are plenty of treasures in the God Domain Nest. If it¡¯s not necessary, try not to fight with others for treasures. If you encounter any danger, communicate using the communication beads." Practically everyone that entered the newly incubated God Domain Nest would rush off in all directions. Before they scattered as well, Mo Wuji instructed everyone once more. He was only in Nascent God Level 2. In this newly incubated God Domain Nest, he couldn''t do anything much for everyone. Everyone could only depend on their own luck. The group bid their farewells and left. Mo Wuji also left swiftly with Ku Cai. Most people only know to head towards the depths of the God Domain Nest. However, unlike them, Mo Wuji knew where he needed to go exactly. It was where the Laws of Darkness were. The reason why he brought Ku Cai was because Ku Cai cultivated a dark-type technique. Previously in God Domain, Ku Cai didn''t have much conditions for cultivation. Now that he found a direction with the Laws of Darkness, Mo Wuji naturally had to bring Ku Cai to it. Back when Mo Wuji felt the Laws of Darkness, he only knew its direction. Now that he was actually going towards it, Mo Wuji found out that it was actually very far away. At the same time, he came to know that this newly incubated God Domain Nest was truly vast. Additionally, Mo Wuji was especially shocked at the amount of treasures here. As he and Ku Cai made their way, they didn''t specially search around for god herbs. However, they actually found at least a hundred different varieties of god herbs. Moreover, Mo Wuji could tell that they were all at least Tier 3 and above. Even though there weren''t any high tiered god herbs, Mo Wuji was able to find loads of Tier 4 and Tier 5 ones. Don''t look down on these Tier 3 to 5 god herbs. Even though God Domain was extremely vast, there weren''t many high grade god herbs; god herbs above Tier 5 were practically as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. Most herbs were in Tier 1 and Tier 2. A Tier 3 god herb was already considered a valuable item in God Domain. During their journey they were also able to casually pick up tens of ores. Moreover, this was when Mo Wuji didn''t move towards the direction with denser god spiritual energy. As Mo Wuji and Ku Cai went deeper, the Laws around them got increasingly chaotic. However, the energy of the Laws had gotten thinner than before. They found increasingly fewer god herbs and they couldn''t even find ores anymore. One month later, Mo Wuji stopped at the periphery of a large desert. Because of the chaotic Laws, the desert buffeted with crazy amounts of dust and sand. Nothing could be seen clearly. It wasn''t unusual to find deserts and seas in the newly incubated God Domain Nest. The God Domain Nest was basically a newly incubated continent; there could be all sorts of different terrains. The God Domain Nest Sea was the sea left behind when previous God Domain Nest had fully incubated. "Big brother, the god spiritual energy here is sparse and there doesn''t seem to be any treasures." Ku Cai asked confusedly when she saw Mo Wuji stop in front of the large desert. Mo Wuji pointed towards the vast and buffeting desert and said, "Ku Cai, there should be a Law of Darkness within this desert. This Law of Darkness is especially clear. Unfortunately, I only know that this Law of Darkness is within the desert, but I don''t know its exact position. The two of us both cultivate a dark-type technique. The God Domain lacks the Laws of Darkness, so for us to cultivate, as need to find this Law of Darkness in the desert." There were indeed many treasures in God Domain Nest. However, to Mo Wuji, whatever treasures couldn''t compare to his cultivation. "Big brother, I will listen to you." To Ku Cai, everything that Mo Wuji says was the truth. "Alright, then we will go in." With that, Mo Wuji stepped into the desert. Even though the sand danced wildly, they weren''t able to deal much damage to him. Ku Cai was in Nascent God Level 2, so she also wouldn''t be hurt by the raging sand. The direction towards the Law of Darkness that he felt using his spirit storage channel had disappeared. This desert was too vast. Even Mo Wuji could no longer determine an exact direction. "Big brother, I can sense the Law of Darkness¡­" Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about what direction they should head to, Ku Cai cried out agitatedly. When he heard Ku Cai''s words, Mo Wuji also got excited, "Then hurry and lead the way. I will follow behind you." He had some faint understanding why it was like so. Ku Cai had always been cultivating this dark-type technique and the Laws of Darkness in God Domain were truly too indistinct. Because of this, Ku Cai was more sensitive towards the Laws of Darkness. Thus, she could sense the direction towards the Law of Darkness within this desert. "En." Ku Cai acknowledged and sped into the raging sand. Mo Wuji followed closely behind Ku Cai. He was extremely excited. The faster he found the place with the Law of Darkness, the more gains he would obtain in the new God Domain Nest. ¡­ The newly incubated God Domain Nest''s array gate. A goateed man flashed a fake laugh towards Pang Jie as he said, "Dao Friend Pang¡¯s methods are not bad ah." Pang Jie said calmly, "This Pang is dumb and doesn''t understand what God King Dark Bodhi means." This goateed man was Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s only God King - God King Dark Bodhi, Xiang Zicheng. This person was at God King Level 3 and he was a greedy and vicious man. Previously, he was the one that snatched Heavenly Mortal Sect''s five placings. Not only that, he also took several god spiritual veins and some peak grade treasures from Pang Jie. God King Dark Bodhi chuckled loudly, drawing the attention of the other God Kings in the area. He said, "Previously, Dao Friend Pang pleaded me to leave behind one placing to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest, claiming that he had promised it to a disciple. But just now, why did I see at least seven to eight disciples of Heavenly Mortal Sect entering the God Domain Nest? I, Xiang Zicheng, might be old but my eyes aren''t blinded by age. So Brother Pang actually used such a method to leave behind so many placings. Respect, respect!" Pang Jie''s expression turned ugly. He forcefully suppressed the fire in his heart and said, "As the ancestor of the sect, I haven''t been very useful. Luckily, my disciples have some capabilities to obtain their own placings." "This words of Dao Friend Pang are actually true. Heavenly Mortal Sect truly has a capable disciple. At the very least, my Phoenix Soul God Estate''s Tang Wuzhen simply cannot compare." By the side, God King Salt Pavilion snickered and interrupted. The group''s gaze turned towards him. Salt Pavilion continued, "Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s concealment technique is very strong. Even I am unable to discern that he was at Nascent God Level 9, much less my Phoenix Soul God Estate''s good-for-nothing Nascent God disciple." Others might not know the reason why Tang Wuzhen had been convinced by Mo Wuji but God King Salt Pavilion knew it clearly. Even if Tang Wuzhen wanted to hide it, he wouldn''t dare to hide it from God King Salt Pavilion. It was just that he also didn''t know that Mo Wuji wasn''t in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. In fact, Mo Wuji was only in Nascent God Level 1 when they battled. Not only that, Mo Wuji didn''t even use his powerful Seven World Finger. God King Pang Jie didn''t refute. He knew that Heavenly Mortal Sect was facing its most difficult times. These people were simply looking for excuses to get rid of him. If he was killed, then his entire Heavenly Mortal Sect would disperse like smoke. Seeing Pang Jie''s silence, both God King Dark Bodhi and God King Salt Pavilion sneered. God King Pavilion had already instructed his Heavenly God disciples to eliminate Mo Wuji. As for Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s God King Dark Bodhi, he was even more vicious: his Nine Evolutions God Sect''s disciples were ordered to kill all Heavenly Mortal Sect''s disciples that were in the newly incubated God Domain Nest. ... Within the new God Domain Nest''s desert, Ku Cai stopped in her tracks. "Ku Cai, why have we stopped?" Mo Wuji asked questioningly. Ku Cai excitedly pointed at the whirlwind of sand beneath her feet and said, "Big Brother, I have an intense feeling that the Law of Darkness that we''re looking for it right under us." "Then we''ll go down. Follow behind me." With that, Mo Wuji directly dug into the ground. After digging in for several hundred miles, Mo Wuji also felt the Law of Darkness clearly. Even though he didn''t have a dark-type cultivation technique, the energy from this Law of Darkness was truly too clear. In another half a day, Mo Wuji and Ku Cai landed within a huge space. This space was like ink. The moment Mo Wuji entered, he felt as though his entire body and soul had fallen into darkness. Whether it as his blood or his bones, everything was invaded by this darkness. The pressure from the darkness left his entire body feeling discomfort. His spiritual will was also frozen. Fortunately, he still had his spiritual eye, allowing him to see a radius of several tens of miles. In the space around him, there was only one kind of the Law, that was the Law of Darkness. Clear and raw Law of Darkness. Within this radius of tens of miles, floated an ink black bead. The Law of Darkness circulated within that bead. Mo Wuji already had a Lightning Origin Bead. Thus, he only needed a single glance at this bead to know that it was a Darkness Origin Bead. Around the Darkness Origin Bead, there was a row of ten-over black crystals. Mo Wuji had also gotten his hands on primal crystals before. When he laid eyes on those black crystals, he knew that they should be primal darkness crystals. "Big Brother, there are so many crystals here." Ku Cai swiftly rushed forward and picked up two primal darkness crystals. "Ku Cai, your spiritual will can see the things in here?" Mo Wuji asked quizzically. Ku Cai nodded, "That''s right. My spiritual will is like a fish in water here. Above those crystals, there''s even a black coloured bead." "That should be a Darkness Origin Bead," Mo Wuji answered. "Big Brother, you can keep the Darkness Origin Bead and those crystals. I feel that if I cultivate here, my speed will be extremely fast." Ku Cai''s voice was slightly emotional; this was one of the desires in her heart. Mo Wuji kept the Darkness Origin Bead and took some crystals. Then, he said to Ku Cai, "Ku Cai, these crystals should be primal darkness crystals. You can keep the rest. These things will be very useful to you. I will keep the bead first; I might have some use for it." Mo Wuji''s Undying World had yet to be perfected and he didn''t know whether his Undying World would need this Darkness Origin Bead. Thus, he was going to keep it first. Chapter 920: Scheme Chapter 920: Scheme Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ku Cai started cultivated. Even though his eyes were closed, Mo Wuji could feel Ku Cai''s staggering pace of cultivation. In this space, Ku Cai was like at home. Even though the god spiritual energy here wasn''t very pure, Ku Cai was able to extract the god spiritual energy from within. Mo Wuji felt like he was seeing things; he was actually able to see Ku Cai''s cultivation improving with his naked eye. This was truly too incredible. Even Mo Wuji couldn''t help but exhale a breath of cold air. His cultivation speed was definitely one of the fastest already, but even he couldn''t achieve the same speeds as Ku Cai. Mo Wuji hurriedly installed several defensive arrays within this Law of Darkness space. At the same time, he retrieved that dark-type skill crystal and sent his spiritual will in. In merely ten over breaths of time, Mo Wuji had fully immersed in his cultivation. Strands of the Law of Darkness were continuously swept away by Mo Wuji. During every circulation path, these strands would go through his dao revelation channel. The dao energy within the dark-type skill crystal ball also merged with the Law of Darkness in the surroundings. Because of Mo Wuji''s insights, one dao inscription after another began to form around him. ¡­ The newly incubated God Domain Nest had settled down and the seals over the array gate had also been formed. Except for those who could open the seals with their placing jade tokens, those that tried to forcefully enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest would be killed. Pang Jie heaved a sigh of relief. Under the leadership of Mo Wuji, his Heavenly Mortal Sect was able to send a group of people in. Supreme treasures could be found within the newly incubated God Domain Nest. As long as they were able to return alive, they would definitely have a chance to become a true expert. He, Pang Jie, was only an outer disciple. Those years ago, because of a meritorious deed for the sect, he was rewarded with the opportunity to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. It was true that his advancement into the God King Stage was related to the Heavenly Mortal Technique. However, Pang Jie also knew that the treasures that he obtained in the God Domain Nest were also important factors. "Various Dao Friends, this Pang has some matters to handle and I need to return to my encampment. I will take my leave first." Pang Jie knew that with the opening of the newly incubated God Domain Nest, no one would leave for a few years. He needed to use this time to go back to the encampment and stabilise his cultivation. "Haha, Dao Friend Pang, we are also preparing to return back to our sect encampments. Since that''s the case, let''s go together." Nine Evolutions God Sect''s God King Dark Bodhi chuckled and said. "Right, right. We should leave together." God King Salt Pavilion also stood up. Thereafter, he turned towards God Kings Yi Ming and Yan Du and said, "The two of you will be joining us?" God King Yi Ming promptly nodded in agreement. On the other hand, God King Yan Du snickered, "I like a crowd. I will not leave for now." When God Kings Yi Ming and Salt Pavilion heard God King Yan Du¡¯s words, they both started. One must know that they had previously made arrangements to force the secret out of Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Pang Jie after the opening of the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Their return to the encampment area now was exactly for that matter. God King Yan Du definitely knew about it. Why would he choose to back out now? "Fat monk, what do you have to do here? Why can''t you return with us?" God King Yi Ming frowned slightly. God King Yan Du slapped his tummy, "Hehe, even though the new God Domain Nest has already opened, there''s still some lingering Laws that I can pursue. I intend to try and gain some insights before I leave. The few of you don''t need to wait for me." After the opening of the newly incubated God Domain Nest, there were indeed some strands of Laws in the area. However, they were all extremely weak and obscure. An expert like God King Yan Du had no need to gain insights on such Laws. These words were mostly an excuse to not leave. God King Yi Ming''s expression turned slightly unsightly, "Since Brother Yan Du isn''t willing to leave, then we will take our leave first." Looking at God Kings Yi Ming, Salt Pavilion and Dark Bodhi left with Pang Jie, God King Yan Du sneered. Thereafter, his figure flashed and he left as well. However, he wasn''t returning back to God Domain Nest. Instead, he disappeared in a different direction. The reason why he didn''t follow God King Yi Ming and co. back to God Domain Nest was because he knew that they were going to lay hands on Pang Jie. Previously, before the newly incubated God Domain Nest opened, God King Yi Ming and co. didn''t dare to cause a ruckus because they didn''t want to incur the wrath of the Ten Great God Kings. Now that the newly incubated God Domain Nest had opened, they only need to come up with an excuse to lay hands on Pang Jie. If the Ten Great God Kings found out about it, they would only give them a verbal warning at the most. If this was before, God King Yan Du would have definitely followed them to deal with Pang Jie. He, Yan Du, also wanted to know the secret of Heavenly Mortal Sect. But now, Yan Du wouldn''t do such a thing. There was only one reason - Mo Wuji. He was sure that Tang Wuzhen wasn''t convinced by Mo Wuji through words. Instead, it was because Tang Wuzhen had been defeated. Moreover, Yan Du was also sure that Mo Wuji was only at Nascent God Level 1. The reason why God King Salt Pavilion thought that Mo Wuji was at Nascent God Level 9 was because Salt Pavilion was misguided by Tang Wuzhen¡¯s words and because Salt Pavilion didn''t have the same acumen as him. A Nascent God Level 1 cultivator was able to easily defeat a late stage Nascent God like Tang Wuzhen. What did this mean? This meant that if Mo Wuji didn''t die, his future would be limitless. And this person with limitless potential had actually entered the newly incubated God Domain Nest. He, Yan Du, was not willing to offend such a person. Back then, he also considered milling Mo Wuji. Because of the opening of the new God Domain Nest, he didn''t have the opportunity to do so. And now that Mo Wuji had entered the God Domain Nest, he wouldn''t even have the opportunity to do so. Since he couldn''t kill Mo Wuji, why would he involve himself in such trouble? ¡­ The moment Pang Jie returned to the sect encampment, he was infuriated by what he saw before him. The entire first-floor hall of Heavenly Mortal Sect''s encampment was filled with corpses. At least twenty disciples lay mangled on the floor. The entire air was filled with the smell of blood. "Who are you? You actually dare to kill in my Heavenly Mortal Sect''s encampment?" Pang Jie howled furiously. He extended his hand and grabbed two Heavenly Gods, pinching them up in midair. "Ancestor, these two people got wind that our Heavenly Mortal Sect still has two placings to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. They actually came here trying to rob them and they even started slaughtering our disciples¡­" A petite woman in red roles bawled as she rushed over and kneeled on the ground. Pang Jie recognised this disciple; she was called Dan Ya. He forcefully suppressed the killing intend on his heart as he spoke slowly, "What happened exactly?" Dan Ya cried and said, "Senior Brother Mo left behind two placings for Yu Minyi and Zhan Chou. Supposedly, Senior Brother Zhan Chou and Senior Sister Yu Minyi would wait for Ancestor to return before heading to the newly incubated God Domain Nest. I''m not sure how exactly these two Heavenly Gods came to know of this matter. They came to our Heavenly Mortal Sect encampment and started a massacre, attempting to steal our placings. If Ancestor hadn''t returned in time, all of our disciples would have been killed¡­" As Dan Ya was speaking, a short and pudgy disciple stumbled over and kneeled on the ground, "Ancestor, please help." This disciple was Jiao Xiangqi, Pang Jie also recognised him. At this instant, Pang Jie''s face was ashen. God Domain Nest''s sect encampment area was a place which prohibited any form of violence. What galls did these two Heavenly Gods have to actually kill people here? Even though he simply wanted to turn these two Heavenly Gods into dust, Pang Jie still suppressed his intense anger. He released his palm and threw the two Heavenly Gods onto the ground. He knew that this matter definitely wasn''t initiated by these two Heavenly Gods; there was definitely a mastermind behind them. Even if these two Heavenly Gods had their balls enlarged by ten thousand times, they wouldn''t dare come here and massacre the Nascent God disciples of Heavenly Mortal Sect. When these two Heavenly Gods were dropped onto the ground, they heaved a sigh of relief. Even though they received the God King¡¯s assurance that everything would be fine as long as they left immediately after killing everyone, they didn''t expect that God King Pang Jie would return so timely. Fortunately, God King Pang Jie still had some reason in him and he hadn''t killed them. As long as he didn''t kill them, they would have hopes to survive. "Bang! Bang!" Just as these two Heavenly Gods landed on the ground, their brains exploded. A terrifying force of elemental energy directly tore their spirit channels and seas of consciousness apart. Their primordial spirits were also destroyed at that instant. Before they died, their eyes were filled with shock, regret and hatred. When Pang Jie saw these two¡¯s brains exploding in front of his eyes, he was also astonished. He hadn¡¯t thought of killing these two people. He still maintained his reason; he knew that he couldn¡¯t kill anyone here. As long as he handed the two over to the authorities, they would undoubtedly be punished with death even if they were disciples of top sects. "Dao Friend Pang, what¡¯s going on?" A familiar voice sounded from outside. Pang Jie¡¯s heart sank; he could tell that it was God King Dark Bodhi. Pang Jie was able to cultivate to the God King Stage. How could he not see through such an obvious scheme? "Dao Friend Pang, you¡¯ve killed so many people?" God King Salt Pavilion¡¯s voice came afterwards. Behind him was God King Yi Ming. Pang Jie took in a deep breath. He knew that these three wanted to deal with him but he didn¡¯t think that they would be so bold as to do so in the God Domain Nest¡¯s sect encampment area. Dan Ya hurriedly came forward and said, "Seniors, please don¡¯t be mistaken. These are all disciples of my sect. They aren¡¯t killed by my Ancestor, but those two Heavenly Gods." As she got here, Dan Ya pointed at the corpses of the two Heavenly Gods and said, "My Ancestor only killed the two of them. That was because they slaughtered out Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s disciples in our own encampment." Pang Jie stared at Dan Ya coldly. He spoke to her, one word at a time, "You¡¯re good, very good¡­" He didn¡¯t think that he would be betrayed by a mere Nascent God disciple of his very own sect. If his own disciple claimed that he was the one that killed those two, then any rebuttals from him would lose their effect. "Brother Pang, even though I¡¯m your friend, we¡¯re still helpless against the rules of God Domain Nest. We¡¯re not allowed to kill anyone in the sect encampment area. Even though Brother Pang has a reason for your actions, but we must take Brother Pang to meet God King Uncruel," God King Pavilion said indifferently. Pang Jie had a calm expression on his face. He knew that he definitely couldn¡¯t be taken away. Even if he had to die in battle, he couldn¡¯t be taken away. If he was taken away, then he could forget about meeting the Ten Great God Kings. Chapter 921: Encounter With Senior Brother Death Chapter 921: Encounter With Senior Brother Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji felt like he had opened a whole, new door. His elemental energy and his insights towards the Laws were perfected. Previously, there were only two causes holding his cultivation back: 1. The lack of cultivation resources; 2. The imperfect Laws of the Heaven and Earth around him. Only now did Mo Wuji knew that he had been cultivating in places with incomplete Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Since the very beginning, his cultivation had been lacking the Laws of Darkness. Now that he finally cultivated within the Law of the Darkness, he felt like a withered desert that was being showered by a clear spring. With the addition of the Laws of Darkness, his Grand Dao became clearer and his understanding towards his sacred arts also became more profound. Half a year passed in a flash before Mo Wuji finally opened his eyes. Even though he was still in Nascent God Level 2, the glee in his eyes couldn¡¯t be concealed. In half a year, he had completely perfected his Immortal Mortal Technique. Previously, his meridian-based reverse Immortal Mortal Technique was already a top-rated cultivation technique in the entire cosmos which could continuously perfect itself together with Mo Wuji¡¯s greater insights towards the Laws. However, it seemed to be lacking something. Now, he finally understood that the something that he had been lacking was the Laws of Darkness. Now that the Laws of Darkness had been integrated into his cultivation technique, his Immortal Mortal Technique could finally be considered perfect. Even though it was still lacking somethings, those will come following his improvements in cultivation. They were not things that could be obtained simply because he wanted it. Mo Wuji stopped his cultivation and stood up. He noticed that Ku Cai was already at Nascent God Level 3; this pace of improvement was truly astounding. He didn¡¯t go and disturb Ku Cai. The quality of Ku Cai¡¯s spiritual roots was extremely strong and they were suitable for cultivating the Laws of Darkness. This was different from him, even after he integrated the Laws of Darkness, his cultivation was still at Nascent God Level 2, but his power did improve. However, if he wanted to improve his cultivation, he would need to find a place rich in god spiritual energy. Mo Wuji left a message for Ku Cai, asking her to continue cultivating here while he went to explore the newly incubated God Domain Nest for cultivation resources. Because he wanted to integrate and study the Laws of Darkness, Mo Wuji spent half a year of time. However, this half of year of time had been very fruitful for Mo Wuji. Moreover, Mo Wuji believed that with the immensity of the God Domain Nest, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be swept clean in half a year. In reality, Mo Wuji had underestimated the cultivators¡¯ ability to milk the treasures from the God Domain Nest. An entire month passed but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t manage to find any relatively good treasures. His entire path clearly seemed to have been ravaged clean. If not for that there was nothing good in the desert besides the Law of Darkness, it would probably also have been swept clean. Mo Wuji decided to stop searching around the area. Activating his Wind Escape Technique to the max, Mo Wuji sped away. After another month, Mo Wuji finally stopped. He saw a field of god herbs. This was finally a place that had yet to experience any sort of human activity; there were at least hundreds of strands of god herbs here. As a pill refiner, these god herbs were going to be useful to him. Mo Wuji called Shuai Guo and Da Huang out. Since they were going to be harvesting herbs, more hands would naturally be better. "My lord, I discovered a Xiantian material¡­" Da Huang cried out in astonishment the moment he came out of the Undying World. Mo Wuji anxiously asked, "Where? And how do you know that it¡¯s a Xiantian material?" Da Huang hurriedly said, "It¡¯s not far from here. I guess that it¡¯s related to my body. I can feel that the material had an energy similar to my Phecda Clay." "Hurry and dig all these god herbs up. Then, Da Huang will lead the way to find the treasure," Mo Wuji instructed promptly. He didn¡¯t suspect Da Huang¡¯s words; he had used Phecda Clay to model Da Huang¡¯s body. What kind of thing was Phecda Clay? It was a Xiantian material. Since Da Huang¡¯s own body was made of Phecda Clay, it wasn¡¯t surprising that it could detect other Xiantian materials. Shuai Guo had been cooped up in the Undying World for so long that it almost died of constipation. Now that it could come out and harvest god herbs, it was naturally very happy. With three people working together, all hundreds of god herbs were soon sent into Mo Wuji¡¯s Undying World. Thereafter, under the leadership of Da Huang, they travelled for half a day before they finally arrived at the edge of an unfathomably deep gorge. The widest part of the gorge was only 30 centimeters long while the thinnest part was only a tiny sliver. Instead of a gorge, it was more accurate to call it a crack. The entire crack was less than 100 meters long. There were strange rocks on both sides of the gorge. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will into the gorge but it couldn¡¯t extend any further than 10,000 meters. It seemed as though his spiritual will had been blocked by something. "My lord, it¡¯s in this gorge," Da Huang pointed towards the depths of this narrow gorge and cried excitedly. He knew who valuable the Phecda Clay used to sculpt his body was. Perhaps only this lord of his would use Phecda Clay just to help him forge a body. Since the aura of the thing in this gorge was similar to his Phecda Clay, it naturally wouldn¡¯t be inferior. Since he could help his lord find a great treasure, Da Huang was extremely elated. "I will go down and take a look. The two of you wait for me here¡­ Eh, someone¡¯s coming. The two of you go back in first." Mo Wuji directly sent Da Huang and Shuai Guo into the Undying World. At the same time, he swallowed a Dry Wimple Pill and changed his appearance. Thereafter, he even put on the mask that Wei Jie lent him. There were only Heavenly Gods here. Coupled with the protection of his domain, a Heavenly God shouldn¡¯t be able to see through his two layers of disguises. Just as Mo Wuji did this, three figures sped over. Mo Wuji had already decided; if there were Heavenly Gods among the three, he would leave immediately. However, from the aura of these three, he found that the strongest was no more than Nascent God Level 9. Moreover, Mo Wuji recognised the strongest one, Qu You. He had saved this woman once before. He didn¡¯t think that he would meet her again here. The newly incubated God Domain Nest was so vast, but he was still able to meet Qu You. There seemed to be some fate between them. Together with Qu You, there was one man and one woman, both in the intermediate Nascent God Stage. Just as Qu You and her group landed, another two figures sprinted over from the distance. Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t move. From their spiritual ripples, the two newcomers were also in the Nascent God Stage. When these two finally approached, an intense killing intent immediately sprouted within Mo Wuji¡¯s heart. One of the two people was actually Senior Brother Death, Wu Liang. If asked who Mo Wuji wanted to kill the most now, it would be this Wu Liang. "Qu You, I didn¡¯t think that you would also be able to detect the treasure aura here. It¡¯s truly a small world. I will say my words once more. Are you going to hand that thing over? If you hand it over, I wouldn¡¯t lay hands on you. But if you don¡¯t, I don¡¯t care even if you¡¯re a core disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao Schoool." Wu Liang blocked Qu You¡¯s path; his voice was laced with a strand of killing intent. Thereafter, he turned to the man and woman beside Qu You and said, "That goes for the two of you." Mo Wuji was slightly shocked. He was extremely clear of Qu You¡¯s origins. Who¡¯s the backer of this Senior Brother Death? To actually be unafraid of Qu You? Mo Wuji also discovered that the Nascent God that came together with Wu Liang also seemed to be afraid of him. The moment they gathered, he stood at a distance away from Wu Liang. Qu You harrumphed, "Wu Liang, others might fear you but my Forgotten Creek Dao School doesn¡¯t. I¡¯m not the only one from my Forgotten Creek Dao School. Even if I¡¯m not a match for you, there are still experts from my Forgotten Creek Dao School." "Haha¡­" Wu Liang chuckled, "Try and call them. I give you three breaths of time. Hand the thing over. Otherwise, you die. I, Wu Liang, truly want to see, who¡¯s able to do anything to me?" Qu You¡¯s face was filled with uncertainty. She could run away the first time because Wu Liang had been hindered by a trap array. She didn¡¯t have that same luck now. When she heard Wu Liang¡¯s words, she could tell that after killing her, he was confident of killing the rest here. "Your name is Wu Liang? You truly have an ugly face." [1] A voice suddenly interjected, startling everyone. Everyone turned to look at Mo Wuji. Even though Mo Wuji was the first to arrive, no one placed Mo Wuji in their hearts. None of them expected that this nobody would actually come out and scold Wu Liang. Wu Liang looked at Mo Wuji speechless and shook his head. "It¡¯s normal to try and gain the favour of a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, you need to know the right time to do so. Originally, I intend to give you some time before I killed you. But since you¡¯re courting your own death, then don¡¯t blame this senior brother for being impolite." As Wu Liang was speaking, he opened his palm and five black strings shot towards Mo Wuji. These five strings looked sparse and fragmentary, but in the blink of an eye, they formed a huge net. Mo Wuji¡¯s figure flashed. Like a breeze, he dodged this string net. Wu Liang jolted. He thought that his five strings would be able to easily trap Mo Wuji. Thereafter, he would slowly teach Mo Wuji how to behave. The first rule he would teach was to not try and gain the favour of a beauty in front of him, Wu Liang. He didn¡¯t expect that his five strings would actually be able to catch Mo Wuji. Exactly what was going on? Mo Wuji still didn¡¯t make a move. Instead, he spoke to the remaining people, "I¡¯m a disciple of Nine Evolutions God Sect. The few of you here, are you going to wait for me to kill Wu Liang first before I kill the rest of you? Or are you going to wait for Wu Liang to kill me before he kills the rest of you?" When they heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the four remaining people, including Qu You, hurriedly retreated. No one knew exactly how strong Mo Wuji was, but they knew how terrifying Wu Liang was. There was no need to talk about four of them. Even if there were more, Wu Liang was perfectly capable of killing all of them. Wu Liang wanted to go forward and block them. However, Mo Wuji took a step forward and released a punch. His Domain Shattering First directly shatttered Wu Liang¡¯s domain. A terrifying wave of god elemental energy came surging towards Wu Liang. A whirlpool-like domain wrapped around Wu Liang. Wu Liang¡¯s heart was filled with shock; he no longer tried to block Qu You and co. He could tell that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t weaker than him. "Who are you?" Wu Liang shouted harshly and a copper gong floated in front of him. Those five black strings began to vibrate in the air, each ripple of vibrations emitting heavy killing intent. He knew all the famous Nascent Gods in God Domain. Where did such a Nascent God expert like Mo Wuji come out from? Mo Wuji knitted his brows. It wasn¡¯t because he was afraid of Wu Liang, but because the four people he scared away had returned. They didn¡¯t come back alone. Instead, twenty to thirty cultivators were with them. Seeing the group of people approach the area, Mo Wuji decided to go ahead and attack. A finger shot towards Wu Liang. Originally, he wanted to use his Seven World Finger to get rid of Wu Liang after chasing those people away. Now that there were so many people coming, he had to get rid of Wu Liang before they arrived. The moment that finger shot out, white clouds began to disperse. All pursuits of the Dao transformed within the World of Men. [1] The Hanyu pinyin here is "You truly have a Wu Liang face", where Wu Liang means not good. Chapter 922: Recognised Chapter 922: Recognised Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment that finger appeared, Wu Liang felt as though the space around him had transformed into a world of its own and he was being pressured by this world. At this instant, Wu Liang felt all his sacred arts gradually melt and transform into a living thing living in this World of Men. Everything in this World of Men seemed to be within the control of some majestic force. He felt like an ant within this control. Even if he was any stronger, he was still under the Laws of someone else. The moment these Laws fully take shape, he would no longer have any means of resistance. What a strong sacred art. Wu Liang immediately knew that this was a peerless sacred art. He subconsciously wanted to attack with his Five Elemental String. He believed that even if his Five Elemental String was unable to break through this sacred art, it would at least be able to get him out of this predicament. However, Wu Liang instantly gave up on that idea. He was a battle-hardened man; the number of people that died under him was too many to count. He could faintly tell that Mo Wuji didn''t only have this one finger. To put it in other words, after this World of Men, Mo Wuji should still have another move. Even if he managed to break through this World of Men, he would still die. The reason why he could live till this day was because of his strong intuition. Wu Liang still chose to attack with his Five Elemental String. The instant the five strings shot out, a fracture appeared in Mo Wuji World of Men. The Laws seemed to return back to the natural Laws of Heaven and Earth. Mo Wuji thought that Wu Liang would flee and he prepared to use his Second World Killer, Heaven and Earth, at that instant. However, Wu Liang actually charged into that crack in the earth. This was the first time that Mo Wuji''s First World Killer, the World of Men, had been unable to cause any damage to his opponent. He''s truly very strong. Not only was he strong, his ability to grasp opportunities in battle was also very astute. However, Mo Wuji didn''t find this strange. If Wu Liang could be killed so easily, he wouldn''t have obtained a place within the Ten Vicious Cultivators of God Domain Nest. The more important reason was that his cultivation was too low. Thus, his World of Men could be broken through. If he had the same cultivation as Wu Liang, Wu Liang wouldn''t be able to rip through his World of Men even if the Five Elemental String was any stronger. No, if he was at Nascent God Level 4, then Wu Liang wouldn''t have been able to rip through his World of Men. The instant Wu Liang charged into that crack, Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate to rush in after him. That crack was where that supreme treasure was. How could Mo Wuji allow Wu Liang to enter it alone? ¡­ Mo Wuji and Senior Brother Death seemed to enter the crack one after another. After they entered the crack, the group finally arrived at the edge. Qu You didn''t flee. Even if Senior Brother Death was here now, he would no longer dare to try and attack her. "Who was that man? Why did it seem as though Wu Liang had been forced to flee into that crack by him?" A Nascent God Level 7 cultivator stared at that crack and asked in disbelief. "Junior Sister Qu, who was that man that was fighting Wu Liang? To actually force Wu Liang to flee into that crack in a single move?" Another tall and young man asked doubtfully. Qu You hurriedly answered, "Greetings Senior Brother Kong Fei. I also don''t know who that person was. The moment he came, he provoked Wu Liang. It seemed as though he had some hatred with Wu Liang." Qu You admired this Kong Fei in front of her. He was a legacy disciple of Phecda God Sect, his character was upright, and his cultivation was strong. The reason why he wasn''t as notorious as the God Domain Nest''s Ten Vicious Cultivators was because he had always been merciful. If he could spare a person, then he would; he rarely engaged in slaughter. "There was actually such an expert?" Kong Fei muttered to himself in shock. From what he knew, there were few Nascent Gods that could force Senior Brother Death, Wu Liang, into retreat. "That person should have seen that Wu Liang was trying to lay his hands on Senior Sister Qu, which was why he could not help but come forward. It''s Senior Sister Qu''s absolute beauty that saved the few of us," The female cultivator that was with Qu You laughed and said. Qu You blushed lightly. In reality, she also had some suspicions that Mo Wuji came forward to help her. She naturally knew about her own beauty; there was no need to talk about God Domain Nest, there was no lack of experts in the entire God Domain that wanted to take her as a dao companion. It wasn''t weird for that young man that attacked Wu Liang to view her with favour. But¡­ If that young man viewed her with favour, then why did he chase them away? Also, she seemed to feel that the young man was slightly familiar. As for why he felt familiar, she couldn''t understand it at the moment. "That person claimed that he was from Nine Evolutions God Sect. However, I believe that he shouldn''t be from Nine Evolutions God Sect. He had changed his appearance, and he had even put on a mask." The man that had been chased by Wu Liang came forward and said. Everyone understood the meaning of his words. Even though Nine Evolutions God Sect was a big sect, it didn''t have many Nascent God experts. In fact, they probably didn''t have a single Nascent God that could easily force Wu Liang into a crack. A Nine Evolutions God Sect disciple snorted, clearly dissatisfied by those words. His Nine Evolutions God Sect was one with a God King. What did a mere Wu Liang even count for? Kong Fei chuckled and diverted the topic, "Everyone should have come here for the same reason right - the treasure light¡­" "Could that treasure light have come from this crack?" Before Kong Fei finished his words, another cultivator excitedly pointed towards the crack that Mo Wuji and Wu Liang entered. Everyone stared at the crack. In reality, this cultivator didn''t need to say a thing; everyone could guess that this crack was where that treasure light came from. Kong Fei said loudly, "If I''m not wrong, the treasure light should have come from that crack. Everyone, take a look around us. Besides this crack, there are no other peculiarities in the area." No one said anything in response to Kong Fei¡¯s words. Their spiritual wills couldn''t even reach the bottom of this crack; no oneness willing to take the risk to go down. "Who has a demon pet? We can get the demon pet to go down first." After some time, someone in the crowd suggested. When they heard demon pet, everyone''s eyes gathered on a weak looking female cultivator. She hurriedly said, "My Xiao Duo¡¯s cultivation is too low. It can''t go down." A cold snort sounded from within the crowd, "If I had a demon pet, I would have definitely sent it in. Since everyone''s here in search for treasures, then we must naturally work together." The weak looking female cultivator recognised the cultivator that just snorted; it was a disciple from Nine Evolutions God Sect, Tai Mao. The Nine Evolutions God Sect was notorious for being overbearing. She reluctantly brought out a spiritual beast bag and carefully opened it, "Xiao Duo, come and take a look whether there''s any danger in here. If it''s dangerous, then don''t go in." A little foxlike beast came out of the bag. It seemed to understand the meaning behind its owner''s words. It carefully walked to the edge of the crack and peeped down. Thereafter, it turned and walked away; it seemed as though there was some sort of danger within the crack. A gold robed man came forward and directly kicked the beast down the crack. "You¡­" When the weak looking female cultivator saw her beast being kicked down, she was instantly filled with anxiety. However, she didn''t dare to complain because the person who kicked her beast was Nine Evolutions God Sect''s Tai Mao. It was also because of him that she grudgingly brought her beast out in the first place. "Tai Mao, that''s too much. There''s clearly some danger within that crack, and you actually kicked someone else''s beast inside it¡­" Qu You originally didn''t want to stand out and speak. However, she thought about the cultivator that helped her at the God Domain Nest seafloor. That person didn''t even know her but he came forward to help; he didn''t even ask for anything in return. Before Qu You finished speaking, she suddenly jolted. She finally understood why the cultivator that challenged Senior Brother Death felt familiar. That person was the one that saved her at the seafloor of God Domain Nest. He definitely was. Qu You definitely didn''t believe that someone would unintentionally save her twice. Now, she even suspected that Mo Wuji was a secret admirer and he was silently protecting her from the shadows. It was just that his cultivation was far stronger than hers, which was why she didn''t notice it right away. As she thought of this, Qu You''s heart suddenly started to pound heavily. It wasn''t because she fell in love with Mo Wuji, but because she anxiously wanted to find this person that saved her. If this person didn''t help her in the God Domain Nest, she, Qu You, would have already been killed. No matter who he was, she should take him personally. "It was just a beast." Tai Mao said faintly. He dared to scold that nameless female cultivator but he didn''t dare to do that to Qu You. At almost the same instant that Tai Mao uttered those words, a shrill cry resounded from within that crack. Everyone turned and faced one another. They all heard it clearly; that cry should have come from that beast called Xiao Duo. After that beast went down, it only cried out before there weren''t any further signs of life from it. Although everyone sent their spiritual will in, they didn''t notice anything. "Xiao Duo¡­" The weak looking female cultivator cried out in grief. Very clearly, she was very close with Xiao Duo. "I will take my leave first." An early stage Nascent God didn''t hesitate to turn and leave. Treasures were good, but only if one was alive to enjoy them. He was only an early stage Nascent God, even if there weren''t any dangers within the crack, he wouldn''t have been able to snatch the treasure over everyone else here. Following the departure of that cultivator, several others left consecutively. "Junior Sister Qu, what about you?" Kong Fei turned to Qu You and asked. Qu You shook her head, "I will wait for now." Her heart was slightly in disarray. If that cultivator that just went down was the same one that saved her in God Domain Nest Sea, then he would have saved her twice. Now that she knew that there were dangers within the crack, should she try to go down and save him? ¡­ Just as Mo Wuji entered the crack, five streams of killing intent swept towards him, seemingly enveloping the entire space. Mo Wuji could be considered a battle-hardened man. The moment he entered the crack, he immediately used his domain to protect himself. His spiritual will also detected that Wu Liang had laid an ambush. He clearly saw Wu Liang charge straight into the depths of the crack. However, that fella was actually able to prepare an ambush at the entrance. Chapter 923: The Treasure In The Gorge Chapter 923: The Treasure In The Gorge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Five Elemental String tore through Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain at lightning fast speeds, piercing accurately into Mo Wuji''s skin. A huge tearing force came over; the strength of Mo Wuji''s God Physique was revealed at this moment. Supposedly, the five strings should have directly torn Mo Wuji into pieces. But because Mo Wuji''s physique was too strong, only two managed to penetrate through his body. Moreover, their explosive elemental energies were neutralised within Mo Wuji''s body. As for the remaining three, they were all blocked by Mo Wuji''s bones. Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness suddenly started to tremble. Even though only two strings pierced through his body, the dao laws within these two strings actually tried to seal his sea of consciousness. "Kid, let¡¯s see where else you can go to¡­" Wu Liang¡¯s cold laughter suddenly sounded beside Mo Wuji. At the same time, a cold light sailed through the air, cleaving towards Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead. Mo Wuji was inwardly very shocked. Not only was this Senior Brother Death very strong, he also had many methods. Even his very own teleportation couldn¡¯t allow him to appear out of the depths of the gorge in such a short time. This was because there was a strong gravitational force within this gorge; it was easy to enter but hard to leave. Moreover, this Senior Brother Death was even able to do it without him noticing it. This was probably due to some spatial transfer ability in this fella¡¯s Five Elemental String, allowing Wu Liang to directly be sent out from the depths of the gorge. However, such a method was not enough to kill him, Mo Wuji. There was no need to talk about how these two strings didn¡¯t manage to completely seal his sea of consciousness. Even if his sea of consciousness was completely sealed, he still had his spirit storage channel. At the same instant that Wu Liang tried to kill him, Mo Wuji made his move. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd conjured a huge, silver river which cascaded down towards Wu Liang. Mo Wuji was shocked, but Wu Liang was even more so. Even God Monarchs would face difficulties against his Five Elemental String¡¯s Five Elemental Space. The moment the Five Elemental String was in place, even if it couldn¡¯t tear his opponent¡¯s body apart, it would still trap him within the Five Elemental Space. Even though this puny Nascent God didn¡¯t notice his Five Elemental String, only two out of the five managed to pierce through his body. Clearly, his opponent was an extremely strong physique temperer that was at the late stage God Physique at the very least. It was already an incredible feat for a mere Nascent God to reach the late stage God Physique. As he thought about Mo Wuji¡¯s strength, Wu Liang suddenly had a weird sense of excitement. He, Wu Liang, believed that he was extremely strong despite being at the Nascent God Stage. Besides his talent, a more important reason for this were the secrets that he, Wu Liang, had. His greatest secret was his Five Elemental String. He definitely didn¡¯t believe that this incredibly strong Nascent God in front of him didn¡¯t have any secrets. As long as he managed to kill this fella, all those secrets would belong to him. Fantasies are beautiful, but reality is often very cruel. Before Wu Liang¡¯s cold light approached Mo Wuji¡¯s forehead, an overbearing sensation of death wrapped around him. He lifted his head to see a cascading, silver river. At this point, how could Wu Liang still want to try and kill Mo Wuji? Even though he could end Mo Wuji¡¯s life at the expense of his own, he wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. His figure immediately flashed as he tried to escape. Suddenly, he felt as though the space around him had been sealed. Wu Liang was actually unable to flash away. In his anxiety, he directed the cold light, which he shot towards Mo Wuji, towards the silver river. It was also at this instant that Mo Wuji¡¯s Spatial Imprisonment ended. "Kacha!" The halberd light crashed against the cold light, turning the cold light into nothingness. In that short gap, Wu Liang was finally able to move. "Pff!" A trail of blood gushed out. The halberd light which could have cleaved Wu Liang in half only managed to decapitate one of Wu Liang¡¯s arms. Wu Liang¡¯s figure flashed as he charged into the depths of the gorge. He managed to bring away three of the Five Elemental String. The two that pierced through Mo Wuji were locked in place by Mo Wuji¡¯s elemental storage channel and spirit storage channel. Wu Liang wasn¡¯t able to quickly pull them out and he also didn¡¯t dare to tangle himself with Mo Wuji any further. Mo Wuji pulled out those two strings and threw them into his Undying World. A greyish white mist oozed out of his injuries. An intense sensation of weakness began to spread throughout his body. His detoxification channel went into action and swept that greyish white mist away. What a strong Law of the Five Elements ; Mo Wuji exclaimed inwardly. This Law of the Five Elements was actually able to create a fatal poison. This was the first time he saw such a thing. If he didn¡¯t have his detoxification channel, then he might have really fallen by that. To be famous throughout the entire God Domain Nest, this Senior Brother Death truly had some moves. Without waiting for his injuries to fully heal, Mo Wuji charged into the depths of the gorge. Even if there weren¡¯t any treasures below, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t intend to let Wu Liang off. ¡­ The gorge couldn¡¯t be considered shallow but it also wasn¡¯t as deep as Mo Wuji imagined. In merely half an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji found Wu Liang with his spiritual eye. The bloodied Wu Liang was sitting among a pile of crushed rocks. He chuckled, "Kid, I, Wu Liang, will die here today. But you are going to die with me¡­" Wu Liang¡¯s words stopped abruptly. He stared at Mo Wuji in shock and he muttered, "This is not possible. Why aren¡¯t you poisoned?" At this moment, Mo Wuji felt a terrifying venom assailing him; his detoxification channel continuously converted this poison in elemental energy. "So that poison wasn¡¯t manifested due to Wu Liang¡¯s Five Elemental String." Mo Wuji immediately came to a realisation when he saw Wu Liang¡¯s face of defeat. The poison wasn¡¯t from the Five Elemental String but this gorge. Both him and Wu Liang didn¡¯t notice it. Thereafter, the Five Elemental String pierced through his body, allowing the poison to invade inside him. He only managed to detect the poison when his detoxification channel went into action. Previously, he thought that Wu Liang was the one that poisoned him. Now, he knew that it wasn¡¯t related to Wu Liang. Because at this instant, Wu Liang was also poisoned. Mo Wuji no longer cared about Wu Liang. He didn¡¯t need to do anything; this poison was enough to easily kill Wu Liang. His gaze turned towards an eight-sided crystal floating behind Wu Liang. This crystal was the size of a fist and it was floating above the crushed rocks. When Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will landed on that crystal, the majestic aura of the Heaven and Earth came surging over. At the same time, he felt an immense pressure. This pressure was so strong that it made it hard for him to breath. Mo Wuji hurriedly retracted his spiritual will as he stared at this crystal in shock. "What is this?" Mo Wuji muttered to himself. Ever since he came to God Domain, he furiously filled himself with knowledge on various kinds of materials and herbs. However, he actually didn¡¯t recognise this eight-sided crystal. "You actually don¡¯t recognise this thing, you¡¯re¡­" Wu Liang suddenly started to chuckle. His energy was getting weaker. Mo Wuji stared at Wu Liang coldly, "What¡¯s this thing?" Wu Liang finally stopped his maniacal laughter. He looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of irrepressible envy, "You are under a disguise, right? If I¡¯m not wrong, you are the one that took away the Medicinal Cauldron Stone when the newly incubated God Domain Nest first opened. That person that took it also disguised himself." Mo Wuji said faintly, "Seeing that you are about to die, I will tell you the truth. You¡¯re right, I¡¯m the one that took the Medicinal Cauldron Stone." When Wu Liang heard Mo Wuji¡¯s confession, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. He, himself, had obtained many opportunities, but he was never like Mo Wuji, to obtain so many great opportunities in a single year. If he could move, he would definitely strangle Mo Wuji and take away all those treasures. "Tell me, did you attack me because of Qu You?" Wu Liang stared at Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji really attacked him because of a woman, he, Wu Liang, would really die with regrets. "Thin monkey. A man of your eminence is apt to be forgetful. Not long ago, you even prayed for me to live longer. I didn¡¯t think that you would forget it so quickly. Let me tell you, my name is Mo Wuji¡­" Mo Wuji took a step forward and looked down coldly at Wu Liang. When Wu Liang heard Mo Wuji¡¯s name, he was instantly stunned still. After some time, he said with a trembling voice, "It¡¯s you, it¡¯s actually you¡­" He finally understood why Mo Wuji didn¡¯t get affected when his name, Senior Brother Death, was mentioned. Back then, he thought that Mo Wuji was a fool that didn¡¯t know how impressive the Ten Vicious Cultivators were. That was why he chuckled towards Mo Wuji and prayed for Mo Wuji to live a long life. During that time, he had already decided to kill Mo Wuji. It was just that he didn¡¯t meet Mo Wuji since then. Now, he finally understood that it wasn¡¯t because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know about the Ten Vicious Cultivators. Instead, it was because this fella didn¡¯t even place the Ten Vicious Cultivators in his heart¡­ At the same time, he also knew why Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. He was obsessed with killing the disciples of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Even on the Battle Stage itself, he killed more than one Heavenly Mortal Sect disciple. It would be weird if Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to kill him. "Pff!" He coughed out a mouthful of black blood. Wu Liang cried out harshly, "I hate you! What virtues and abilities do you have? To actually be able to obtain the Medicinal Cauldron Stone and the Primal God Lattice¡­" Before he finished speaking, Wu Liang¡¯s head tilted to the side. All signs of life disappeared without a trace. It¡¯s actually a Primal God Lattice? Mo Wuji looked at that eight-sided crystal in shock. He knew how valuable the Primal God Lattice was; it was something that exceeded a Five Star God Lattice. It was something of legends; he didn¡¯t think that he would actually see one in real life. Seeing the Primal God Lattice of legend was indeed enough to excite Mo Wuji. However, unlike other cultivators, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t anxiously rush over and grab it. Other Heavenly Immortals needed to condense their immortal lattice. He, on the other hand, didn¡¯t condense an immortal lattice. However, wasn''t he still able to reach the Nascent God Stage? Thus, a god lattice, even the Primal God Lattice, wasn¡¯t enough to excite Mo Wuji greatly. On the other hand, his gaze landed on the dead Wu Liang. Wu Liang¡¯s life force had disappeared and his Laws had dispersed. These were clear signs that he was dead. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t leave it like that. He swept Wu Liang¡¯s ring away. At the same time, he threw a ball of fire towards Wu Liang. The lifeless Wu Liang suddenly opened his eyes. He cried out harshly, "Mo Wuji, you¡¯re truly vicious¡­" Mo Wuji was really got a shock. He actually couldn''t tell that this fella was alive. At this moment, his Scholar''s Heart began to burn with greater frenzy. Instants later, Wu Liang was completely burned into nothingness. Chapter 924: Huge Rewards Chapter 924: Huge Rewards Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After killing Senior Brother Death, Wu Liang, Mo Wuji brought out a jade box and swept that floating Primal God Lattice in. The moment Mo Wuji kept the eight-sided crystal, the space around him started to turn turbulent. Not good, this place is going to collapse . Just as Mo Wuji thought of this, the rocks around him began to fall like dominoes - they began to crumble continuously. The space around him was a huge mess of chaos. Mo Wuji sighed as he hurriedly entered his Undying World. He didn''t wish to get injured during such a collapse. As Mo Wuji''s location collapsed, those standing outside the gorge all felt it. The ground beneath them also started to break down. The Laws around them turned chaotic, sweeping up copious amounts of sand and rocks. It was like a whirlpool formed within that gorge; everything in the surroundings was swept away by this whirlpool. Facing such a chaotic whirlpool of Laws, even a Heavenly God wouldn''t dare to stay behind. If they were accidentally swept in, even if they didn''t die, all their skins would get scraped away. The cultivators that didn''t leave previously all fled. Even Kong Fei retreated. "Senior Sister Qu, we should leave too. Facing this collapse of Laws, we definitely wouldn''t be able to find the treasure, if there even is one, unless a God King personally intervenes." When they saw the crowd take their leave, the man and woman that came with Qu You advised. Qu You hesitated slightly before saying, "You guys leave first. I still want to wait." The man and woman both sighed; they could only retreat by themselves. There were plenty of treasures in this newly incubated God Domain Nest. To wait here for a treasure that might not even exist would truly be a huge loss. After the crowd all retreated, Qu You tried approaching the eye of the whirlpool. However, this whirlpool was truly too terrifying. There was no need to talk about approaching it physically, even when her spiritual will got close, it would instantly get swept away. The Laws in the area was a patch of chaos; it wasn''t a place that ordinary Nascent Gods could get close to. After waiting for another ten over days and making more than a hundred attempts, Qu You sighed and left the area. ¡­ When the whirlpool first formed, Mo Wuji wasn''t able to send his spiritual will outside. Even after half a month passed, the strength of this whirlpool didn''t seem to weaken and the Laws in the area continued to get increasingly chaotic. Mo Wuji decided to give up on proving his surroundings and wait in his Undying World. Within his Undying World, Mo Wuji took out Senior Brother Death¡¯s, Wu Liang''s, storage ring. Mo Wuji had great expectations towards Wu Liang''s storage ring. There was no need to talk about how Wu Liang was exceptionally strong despite being only in the Nascent God Stage. More importantly, it had been half a year since the God Domain Nest opened. During this time, he and Ku Cai had been hiding in a corner cultivating. Wu Liang, on the other hand, had been exploring the area. The newly incubated God Domain Nest was brimming with treasures; he didn''t believe that Wu Liang wouldn''t have better yields than him. In this long time since he entered the newly incubated God Domain Nest, besides that Primal God Lattice which he just obtained, he only managed to get his hands on those hundred over god herbs. Moreover, Mo Wuji still couldn''t be sure that the crystal was actually a Primal God Lattice. This was just something that Wu Liang said. Who''s to know whether that fella was telling the truth? Mo Wuji''s Array Dao had already reached the level of a Grade 2 God Array Master. In less than two hours, he was able to break open the seals in Wu Liang''s storage ring. When Mo Wuji saw the things within Wu Liang''s ring, he was truly dumbfounded. Compared to Wu Liang, he couldn''t even be considered a beggar. Wu Liang''s storage ring was clearly not an ordinary one. Inside, there was a huge herb field. This field was filled with different kinds of God herbs Mo Wuji didn''t recognise at least 10% of the herbs, and of those that he recognised, they were all Tier 2 and above. The more ordinary Tier 2 and Tier 1 god herbs were stashed by the side. They were enough to form a small mountain. Skirting pass these god herbs, Mo Wuji''s spiritual all landed on three piles of crystals. Since Mo Wuji came to God Domain, this was his first time seeing so many god crystals. More accurately, this was his first time owning so many god crystals. Previously, Xi Nianmo also took out a huge pile of god crystals to pay for the transfer arrays. However, those god crystals didn''t belong to him and he could only look at them. Now, he was the owner of these three piles of god crystals. Mo Wuji guessed that the smallest pile should be high-grade god crystals, the pile at the centre should be intermediate grade god crystals, and the pile by the side should be low-grade god crystals. Mo Wuji held a low-grade god crystal in his hand. The rich god spiritual energy and the completeness of the Laws within this crystal was countless times more than the green crystals he obtained previously. Only now did Mo Wuji know that the piles of green crystals in his Undying World couldn¡¯t even be compared to the edges of a low-grade god crystal. They could only be considered junk crystals that didn¡¯t manage to become god crystals. Only cultivators of the Immortal World would consider them as treasures. The huge piles of god herbs and god crystals were sent into the Undying World. As for the mountains of materials, they were also arranged nicely by Mo Wuji as he prepared to use them for forging. After organising Wu Liang¡¯s technique manuals and magic treasures, Mo Wuji finally knew what the five strings were - the Five Elemental String. This treasure could be used to form a complete world. The reason why Wu Liang Wu Liang didn¡¯t use the world formed by the Five Elemental String to trap him was due to Wu Liang¡¯s low cultivation; Wu Liang hadn¡¯t even condensed his god lattice. As he thought about Tang Wuzhen¡¯s cosmos starry treasure and Wu Liang¡¯s Five Elemental String, Mo Wuji realised that his magic treasures really couldn¡¯t be placed on the same level. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd was forged by the Immortal World¡¯s Xu Suren. It could be considered a peak-grade treasure in the Immortal World. However, it was equivalent to a chicken rib [1] here in God Domain. As for the technique manuals, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care much about them; he didn¡¯t even place Wu Liang¡¯s sacred arts in his eyes. On the other hand, the Five Elemental String caught his fancy; he decided to refine it as his magic treasure. Besides the technique manuals, the other miscellaneous items and vases of pills were chucked away to the side. Even if he had to use pills in his cultivation, he wouldn¡¯t use the pills made by others. He had so many god herbs now. After he perfected his knowledge regarding god herbs, he would concoct his own pills. Mo Wuji also threw a pile of storage rings to one corner. Looking at the large numbers of storage rings, Mo Wuji could tell that this Wu Liang had killed many people. After organising everything, Mo Wuji started to refine the Five Elemental String. Mo Wuji¡¯s sea of consciousness was strong, and he also had his spirit storage channel. However, after a month, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t able to refine it any further. What left him slightly disappointed was that while this Five Elemental String was very strong and it was made of great materials, it was actually a defective product. Many of the Laws within it were incomplete. At the very most, it could only be considered a pseudo-intermediate grade god equipment. Mo Wuji knew that the equipment in God Domain were classified as low, intermediate, high and peak. Perhaps there were also equipment above the peak-grade but Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know of any. It was already amazing for a Nascent God to possess a pseudo-intermediate-grade god equipment. At the very least, he could use the Five Elemental String all the way till he advances to the God Monarch Stage. After keeping the Five Elemental String, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t move on to cultivate. The Laws within his Undying World wasn¡¯t complete, and if he were to cultivate, he could only condense his god elemental energy. Instead, Mo Wuji brought out the mountain of materials from Wu Liang¡¯s storage ring. If he didn¡¯t use this time to forge equipment, he would be wasting these materials. In Mo Wuji¡¯s Equipment Dao, besides the legacy from Xu Suren, most of it was deduced based on his Immortal Mortal Technique. The Immortal Mortal Technique wasn¡¯t most suitable for cultivation, but the various kinds of auxiliary techniques. Pill Dao, Equipment Dao, Talisman Dao, Array Dao¡­ Only those that cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique can understand why it was more suitable for the auxiliary daos. Turning the ordinary into something extraordinary; that was the Immortal Mortal Technique. Huge piles of smithing materials were wasted by Mo Wuji, turning in scraps. Gradually, a mountain of trash began to form beside Mo Wuji. However, at the same time, Mo Wuji managed to forge one crude low-grade god equipment after another. Five months later, Mo Wuji forged an incomparably boorish low-grade halberd. He finally stopped his forging. The original mountain of materials was almost depleted. Besides some peak-grade materials which he wasn¡¯t able to melt down and use, he basically used all the materials in his forging. Within this five months, he was actually able to forge low-grade god equipment. However, their appearances were far from pleasing. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t mind. He knew that this was because he had yet to advance to the Heavenly God Stage and he didn¡¯t fully understand the various Laws of the Heaven and Earth here in God Domain. This was already enough for him. Besides having an ugly halberd, he could also start to forge a cauldron. Mo Wuji specially went back to check on his Medicinal Cauldron Stone. This was a Xiantian material and its only use was to forge a cauldron. Moreover, there was one speciality of a cauldron forged by the Medicinal Cauldron Stone which leaves every pill refiner jealous, that was it could continuously advance. Even if you forged an immortal-grade cauldron, following your continuous pill concoctions and the integration of your Pill Dao and the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, the cauldron could gradually evolve and become a god equipment. In theory, the cauldron forged using the Medicinal Cauldron Stone could advance to the Xiantian grade. Of course, this was only in theory. For this cauldron to advance to the Xiantian grade, wouldn¡¯t it have to concoct countless Tier 9 god pills? Or more accurately, it would have to concoct pills that exceeded Tier 9 god pills? Now that Mo Wuji could concoct low-grade god equipment, he naturally wouldn¡¯t allow the Medicinal Cauldron Stone to continue lying around. Originally, Mo Wuji was worried that his understandings towards the Laws and his Scholar¡¯s Heart would be insufficient to forge with the Medicinal Cauldron Stone. However, when Mo Wuji used his Scholar¡¯s Heart to refine the Medicinal Cauldron Stone, he knew that he had been overthinking. This actually left Mo Wuji rather concerned. The Medicinal Cauldron Stone was a Xiantian material after all. But now, it was being melted so easily. After it was successfully forged into a cauldron, would he have to heavily inscribe seals and runes on it? And if the seals break apart, would the cauldron melt in the flames? The Medicinal Cauldron Stone continuously changed its shape within the flames. Eventually, it turned into an unusually ugly cauldron shape. The moment the cauldron took form, Mo Wuji spit a drop of vital blood on it. What shocked Mo Wuji, thereafter, was that he was unable to inscribe any runes on the Medicinal Cauldron Stone. The final step of his forging was to inscribe runes to complete the equipment. But now, he didn¡¯t even need to inscribe the runes; the cauldron seemed to have completely taken shape. The moment the cauldron took shape, Mo Wuji¡¯s flames were no longer able to leave a mark on the cauldron. Mo Wuji sighed in relief. While this cauldron was ugly, it was already enough to start concocting god pills. [1] The chicken rib here is a metaphor. A chicken rib is known for being tasteless and in comparison, his Half Moon Weighted Halberd is seen as being useless. Chapter 925: One Must Do Some Foolish Things In Life Chapter 925: One Must Do Some Foolish Things In Life Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though he already had a pill furnace, Mo Wuji still couldn''t concoct god pills. Forging equipment was different from concocting pills. When it comes to forging equipment, even if you only have one material, as long as you had your own Equipment Dao, you could forge a magic treasure. The greater your understanding towards the material, the better the magic treasure forged. Thus, if your understanding towards the material was shallow, then your magic treasure would come out rather ordinarily. It was exactly because of this reason that Mo Wuji''s low-grade god equipment were very ugly. On the other hand, when it came to concocting god pills, one would need to have a deep understanding towards the god herbs, their unique characteristics, as well as the pill formulas. Every pill formula was crafted after countless years with the collective knowledge of countless people. Even if Mo Wuji''s Immortal Mortal Technique was any stronger, it couldn''t continuously churn out pill formulas. At least, he couldn''t casually create pill formulas for god pills at this moment. If he was asked to create the pill formula for an immortal pill, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. This was because Mo Wuji''s Pill Dao had already reached the summit of the Immortal World. On the other hand, he had yet to properly start on god pills. Even though he could only condense his god elemental energy in his Undying World, Mo Wuji''s heart would truly itch if he didn''t cultivate with his newfound fortune. Another two months passed before Mo Wuji stood up from the pile of god crystals. It was as he had expected, his cultivation had reached the Great Circle of Nascent God Level 2. However, no matter how dense his god elemental energy got, he was unable to break through Nascent God Level 2 into Level 3. I can go out now. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will out and noticed that the chaotic Laws outside had already started to stabilise. Two hours later, Mo Wuji was back on the surface. Since a few month ago, this area had been deserted. Even though the Laws here weren''t perfect, Mo Wuji''s god elemental energy had already reached a certain threshold. The moment he emerged, he was exposed to stronger dao laws from the Heaven and Earth. He didn''t even need to cultivate as his cultivation directly broke past Nascent God Level 2 and into Level 3. If he were to fight Wu Liang now, Mo Wuji was confident that fella wouldn''t escape with simply a decapitated arm. ¡­ Although he was set back another half a year, Mo Wuji didn''t mind. The items within that Senior Brother Death¡¯s, Wu Liang''s, storage ring was already enough to compensate him. Mo Wuji took put his mask and reverted back to his original appearance. People had witnessed him and Senior Brother Death entering that crack. His involvement in this matter definitely couldn''t be revealed to others. That Senior Brother Death''s backer was definitely not simple. If people know that he was the one that killed Senior Brother Death, then what kind of trouble would he be landing himself in? It was exactly as Mo Wuji had predicted. Another two months passed but he still didn''t find anything good. Not only that, he didn''t even see a second silhouette. Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about which direction he should go to, he received a message from a Heavenly Mortal Sect disciple. More accurately, he received a call for help. Mo Wuji was the Da Shixiong of Heavenly Mortal Sect after all. How could he hesitate when he received a distress call from his Heavenly Mortal Sect? He immediately activated his Wind Escape Technique to the max and rushed over. In less than an incense¡¯s time, Mo Wuji saw a crowd of people. With his rough estimates, there were at least one to two hundred people. Waves of fragrance wafted over. Even Mo Wuji felt relaxed and spirited when he smelt this fragrance; it felt as though his cultivation stage had loosened. Mo Wuji extended his spiritual will over and saw a giant tree which was tens of meters tall. And on that giant true, were plenty of fruits. The fruits were very green. Clearly, these cultivators were waiting for these fruits to ripen. Even before ripening, the smell of these fruits was already enough to cause Mo Wuji to feel so relaxed. It was obvious that these fruits were extremely valuable and there was no wonder why there were so many people gathered here. However, Mo Wuji¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t on this fruit tree but a bloodied cultivator. It was Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s disciple, Wei Ru. He was a one of those that Mo Wuji had given a jade token to. One of Wei Ru¡¯s arms was gone, his aura was withered and he seemed to be in a state of unconsciousness. Even his storage ring was missing. "I didn¡¯t think that you would actually come. You¡¯re pretty fast." A devious voice sounded beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. Mo Wuji¡¯s gaze turned towards the owner of this voice. It was a Nascent God Level 7 cultivator. From the sect emblem on his robes, he should be from Nine Evolutions God Sect. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care about this Nascent God disciple. With a single step, he landed beside Wei Ru and sent a healing pill into Wei Ru¡¯s mouth. Although Mo Wuji still couldn¡¯t concoct his own god pills, he had a fair amount of healing pills. All these were obtained from Wu Liang¡¯s ring. The efficacy of the healing pill was really not bad. In a short time, Wei Ru regained consciousness. The moment he saw Mo Wuji, he anxiously cried, "Da Shixiong, they forced me to send that message to you. You need to hurry and leave¡­" Mo Wuji finally understood that Wei Ru¡¯s call for help was actually forced. He retrieved more healing pills, sent them into Wei Ru¡¯s mouth and said, "Exactly what happened, tell me." "Ant, let this old man tell you." Yet another arrogant voice sounded. Thereafter, a Nascent God with a huge beard emerged, seemingly wanting to attack Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji turned and stared at this cultivator that was about to make a move on him, "Tang Wuzhen, you want to fight with me?" He recognised that this fella with the huge beard was from the Phoenix Soul God Estate and the Phoenix Soul God Estate¡¯s Tang Wuzhen was also present here. Even though Mo Wuji really wanted to start a slaughter, he still hadn¡¯t made full sense of the situation. Moreover, there weren¡¯t only one or two Heavenly Gods here. He was merely at Nascent God Level 3; it was not enough to lord over everyone here. Tang Wuzhen said speechlessly, "Mo Wuji, I am not involved in this." Although he said this, he still turned to that bearded cultivator and said, "Junior Brother Huan, this matter doesn¡¯t involve our Phoenix Soul God Estate for now. Don¡¯t do anything." When they saw Tang Wuzhen compromising with a single sentence from Mo Wuji, everyone¡¯s eyes turned towards him. If they previously treated Mo Wuji as an ant, now, they treated him as a peculiar ant. Of course, an ant was still an ant. Mo Wuji had offended Nine Evolutions God Sect but he still came here. Besides death, there was no other path for him. There was no need to talk about how there were 20 over Nascent Gods from Nine Evolutions God Sect here. There were also three Heavenly Gods. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was only a single early-stage Nascent God. It didn¡¯t matter whether he forced Tang Wuzhen to compromise. In front of the Nine Evolutions God Sect alone, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t have a chance. When that Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s Nascent God Level 7 disciple saw Tang Wuzhen standing down due to Mo Wuji¡¯s threat, he halted his fellow junior brothers and himself. He was momentarily at a shock. The healing pills that Mo Wuji gave Wei Ru started to take effect. Even though Wei Ru¡¯s arm had yet to regrow, he was able to stand up. "What happened?" Mo Wuji asked calmly Wei Ru mumbled in grief, "Da Shixiong, Heavenly Mortal Sect is gone¡­" Mo Wuji knitted his brows and clapped Wei Ru¡¯s shoulders, "Junior Brother Wei Ru, even if all our disciples die in here, Heavenly Mortal Sect will still exist." "No¡­" Wei Ru¡¯s voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, "One year ago, Ancestor Pang was killed due to the encirclement of three God Kings¡­" "What?: Mo Wuji instantly exploded with killing intent. Wei Ru felt the air around him turn icy cold. Even that Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s Nascent God Level 7 cultivator also subconsciously moved backwards. "You say that Ancestor Pang Jie is killed?" Mo Wuji¡¯s voice turned cold as he stared at Wei Ru, "How do you know this?" Wei Ru uttered in distress, "Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s God King Dark Bodhi, Phoenix Soul God Sect¡¯s God King Salt Pavilion and God King Yi Ming used a rubbish excuse to join hands and deal with our Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Ancestor Pang Jie¡­ How I got to know this was through the people that came in at a later time. This news has already spread throughout the entire newly incubated God Domain Nest¡­" An intense killing intent filled Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body. He even felt his legs trembling. This wasn¡¯t fear, but immense rage. Mo Wuji understood Pang Jie very well: Pang Jie wasn¡¯t one who would find trouble. Mo Wuji also knew why God King Dark Bodhi and God King Salt Pavilion would find an excuse to kill God King Pang Jie; Pang Jie had told him about it before. Mo Wuji had never met another expert that he could trust wholeheartedly besides Pang Jie. In his eyes, Pang Jie was a senior, a role model. The reason why he agreed to address Pang Jie as ¡®Senior Brother¡¯ wasn¡¯t because of himself, but his sect. In the future, he was going to establish his own sect. As the progenitor of his sect, he couldn¡¯t be calling another sect¡¯s person as ¡®Ancestor¡¯, right? But in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, Pang Jie was indeed a respectable ancestor. Today, this senior was actually killed by the combined forces of some selfish scum. How could his heart not seethe with anger? A wave of depression rushed into his head. Mo Wuji could no longer maintain his previous calm and patience. If the Heavenly Mortal Sect was still present, he could endure it. But now, he couldn¡¯t endure it any further. He retrieved a storage ring and handed it to Wei Ru, "This land is filled with opportunities. You continue to work hard with your cultivation. No matter whether we meet again in the future, I will remember that you were once from Heavenly Mortal Sect." Now that Pang Jie was killed, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to use his brains, but his feet, to know that Heavenly Mortal Sect would no longer exist. That meant to say that after spending only two to three years in Heavenly Mortal Sect, he was now back to becoming a rogue cultivator. As for why Wei Ru was almost killed, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t question about it. What good would he get for asking? Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s God King could kill Pang Jie so why wouldn¡¯t their disciples kill the disciples of Heavenly Mortal Sect? "Senior Brother, let¡¯s leave together." Wei Ru also understood that with Ancestor Pang Jie gone, Heavenly Mortal Sect will naturally cease to exist. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath and said slowly, "If I leave with you today, I will never feel joy again for the rest of my life." Sensing Mo Wuji¡¯s conviction, Wei Ru¡¯s heart trembled. He knew the meaning behind his Da Shixiong¡¯s words. Even though he clearly knew that he would die, he still wanted to stay behind and kill some Nine Evolutions God Sect disciples. "Senior Brother, the combined number of Nascent Gods from those two sects is at least 40 to 50. And there are also some Heavenly God experts. If you stay here¡­" Wei Ru¡¯s heart was filled with concern. Mo Wuji chuckled, "One must always do some foolish things in life. If I don¡¯t do this today, it would be hard for my cultivation to improve any further." Chapter 926: I Want To Give You God Lattice Crystals Chapter 926: I Want To Give You God Lattice Crystals Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations There were a total of 44 Nascent Gods and 5 Heavenly Gods from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. Among the five Heavenly Gods, the highest cultivation was at Heavenly God Level 4 while the rest were either at Level 1 or 2. Mo Wuji didn''t believe that everyone of them were exceptional experts like Senior Brother Death. Even if he died, he would still kill a few of them at the very least. Facing this kind of situation, if he chose running instead of fighting, then he wasn''t Mo Wuji. When Wei Ru heard Mo Wuji''s words, he felt as though a fire had ignited in his heart. He said resolutely, "Da Shixiong, if I, Wei Ru, run away by myself, I will also be unable to feel joy for the rest of my life. If Da Shixiong is willing to die in battle, then I, Wei Ru, am also willing to do so." As Wei Ru was speaking, Mo Wuji was already inscribing array runes in the air through his spirit storage channel. When he heard Wei Ru¡¯s words, Mo Wuji clapped Wei Ru''s shouldered and transmitted, "Later when I attack, I will definitely be unable to differentiate between friend or foe. Your presence here will limit my attacks. Also, I have a peak grade escape technique. Perhaps, I would still have a chance to escape. Moreover, even if I die, you might be able to find some luck in this place and take revenge for me." Wei Ru calmed down. He understood that his being here would only be dragging Mo Wuji down. As he thought of Mo Wuji''s final sentence, Wei Ru said with determination, "Da Shixiong, as long as I, Wei Ru, survive, even if I''m personally unable to take revenge, I will definitely pass down this will to my later generations. One day, they will eventually take revenge for Heavenly Mortal Sect and Da Shixiong." "Alright, go." As Mo Wuji nudged Wei Ru, his killing intent shone with ominous light. In front of this light, the surrounding cultivators all gave way. No one actually blocked Wei Ru as he fled away. Only after Wei Ru left, that Nine Evolutions God Sect''s Nascent God Level 7 disciple sneered, "A trash can''t go far. Moreover, you are my primary target. I heard that you''re the Da Shixiong of Heavenly Mortal Sect and you even had the capabilities to get hold of several placings into this newly incubated God Domain Nest. I''m truly curious, where did you get those placings from?" Somewhere in the crowd, Qu You also heard those words. She also turned her attention towards Mo Wuji. She had invited Mo Wuji once before but she was rejected. She didn''t feel dissatisfied with Mo Wuji because of that though. After all, Heavenly Mortal Sect wasn''t a big sect and Mo Wuji bore a proper attitude and he didn''t reject her without reason. What she didn''t expect was that Mo Wuji actually managed to get his hands on so many placing tokens. She even used a placing token to try and invite Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji really had so many placings, then there was no wonder why her conditions didn''t have much persuading power. Mo Wuji looked at this Nascent God Level 7 cultivator and smiled, "I will give you an honest answer in a short while." With that, Mo Wuji turned to the crowd and clasped his fists, "I happen to obtain a few hundreds of thousands of god lattice crystals. Moreover, these crystals are all two stars and above¡­ Today, I want to sell these god lattice crystals¡­" When they heard Mo Wuji''s words, the crowd started to stir. Some of their eyes even started to turn red. Currently, everyone was waiting for the Nascent God Fruits to ripen. Now that they heard that Mo Wuji had hundreds of thousands of god lattice crystals, the matter of the Nascent God Fruits were cast to the side. It was true that the Nascent God Fruit was extremely valuable. For those in the Nascent God Stage, each fruit was enough to allow them to advance by a whole level. However, when compared to god lattice crystals, a Nascent God Fruit truly wasn''t on the same level. Without a Nascent God Fruit, a Nascent God could still continue to progress in his cultivation with time and resources. However, no matter how much time a cultivator has, he could not condense a god lattice. Without a god lattice, he wouldn''t be able to step into the Heavenly God Stage, much less attain a God Throne of legend. "Everyone calm down, otherwise, I will ignite my escape talisman and leave right away. I''m sure that with my blood-space escape talisman, no one would be able to catch up to me." Mo Wuji said loudly when he saw the rousing crowd. As expected, when they heard that Mo Wuji had the blood-space escape talisman, everyone quietened down and listened calmly to Mo Wuji''s words. In the distance, Qu You shook her head speechlessly. This Mo Wuji really didn''t understand the meaning of death. The people from Nine Evolutions God Sect were eager to kill him but he still wanted to sell his god lattice crystals. If this wasn''t courting death, then what was? Moreover, to obtain hundreds of thousands of god lattice crystals, how much luck was needed for that? God lattice crystals were extremely hard to find in God Domain. There was no need to talk about hundreds of thousands, ten thousand was already just enough to allow a Great Circle Nascent God to condense his god lattice. After waiting for the crowd to settle down, Mo Wuji took out one of the black rocks that he dug out in Half Immortal Domain those years ago, "Everyone can use your spiritual will to scan this. Take a look at its grade." "Oh god, that''s a Three Star God Lattice Crystal. No wait, it seems to exceed three stars¡­" A cry of astonishment sounded within the crowd. The crowd began to stir with greater fervour. The number of people focusing on the Nascent God Fruits became lesser. Even the Heavenly Gods that had already condensed their god lattices were also staring at Mo Wuji with red eyes. There were less and less good god lattices in God Domain. God Lattice Dao Fruits didn''t have different levels and god lattice crystals that were above two stars were hard to obtain. Now that Mo Wuji could take out so many god lattice crystals that were three stars or higher. It would be impossible for their attention to not be drawn towards him. Because besides allowing Nascent Gods to condense their god lattices, high grade god lattice crystals could allow Heavenly Gods to cleanse and upgrade their own god lattice. Most Heavenly Gods would have already spent countless years to condense their god lattices. Who would have excess god lattice crystals to upgrade their own god lattices? Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Various dao friends, I''ve decided to sell my hundreds of thousands of god lattice crystals to ten Heavenly God cultivators¡­" As Mo Wuji said this, he saw several cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect move towards him with hostility. He hurriedly added, "Of course, my Heavenly Mortal Sect previously offended Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. Later, I will give all the remaining god lattice crystals to these two sects. As the saying goes: It¡¯s better to squash enmity rather than to keep it alive. My Heavenly Mortal Sect will still have to depend on these two big sects in the future¡­" When they heard Mo Wuji''s words, almost everyone revealed an expression of contempt. Heavenly Mortal Sect was already going to be destroyed by Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, and even their ancestor had already been killed. Now, this disciple of Heavenly Mortal Sect still wanted to please the two sects. What a miserable ant. After hearing Mo Wuji''s words, the few Nine Evolutions God Sect cultivators stopped in their tracks. It would be better if Mo Wuji gave them the items directly. After all, there are hundreds of people here; the combined forces of Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate was inferior. If the situation escalated into a mad pillage, and even if Mo Wuji wasn''t able to escape, the others definitely wouldn''t allow their Nine Evolutions God Sect to steal the items from Mo Wuji successfully. "Who are you going to sell the crystals to? Hurry up and tell us." An impatient Heavenly God called out. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, grinningly, "I will find them right away." By this time, almost all Heavenly God cultivators had stood up. Mo Wuji easily found ten Heavenly God cultivators. All ten of them either wore masks or used pills to change their appearances. "We''ve already come forward. I want 100,000 god lattice crystals. Tell me, how many god crystals do you need for them?" A Heavenly God Level 4 cultivator said in a slightly overcast tone. Mo Wuji had a bright smile as he prepared ten storage ring and handed them to these ten Heavenly God cultivators. He didn''t even mention anything about god crystals. As the ten Heavenly God cultivators received Mo Wuji''s storage ring, Mo Wuji''s voice transmission sounded by their ears, "These rings have a seal. Two hours later, these seals will automatically disappear. But within these two hours, you must not use your spiritual will to undo these seals. Otherwise, the space within the ring will collapse and everything inside would be lost." All ten of them stared at Mo Wuji. Their killing intent was clear: if Mo Wuji dared to continue with any inappropriate words, it would be hard for him to live past this day. Mo Wuji continued transmitting, "Everyone can use your spiritual wills to check the things inside the ring, as long as you don''t break the seal¡­" Without waiting for Mo Wuji to finish speaking, the ten Heavenly God cultivators all sent their spiritual wills into the storage ring. When they saw the tens of thousands Three Star God Lattice Crystals in the ring, an expression of delight emerged on their faces. They didn''t even pay a single god crystal but they were able to receive tens of thousands of god lattice crystals at this level. Mo Wuji''s voice transmitted timely by these cultivators¡¯ ears, "How could I dare ask for god crystals from your esteemed selves? I only have a single request, later if the Heavenly Gods from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate try to attack me, I hope that the few of you are able to defend against them for me, even if it was only for half an incense''s time. Oh right, there''s no need for the few of you to kill the cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate." A tall and sturdy Heavenly God cultivator looked at Mo Wuji meaningfully and said, "Very well, I can help defend one for you." He wondered whether Mo Wuji was able to tell that he had changed his appearance. However, he didn¡¯t notice Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will scanning him? The rest all glanced towards one another and finally nodded their heads. Very clearly, Mo Wuji¡¯s condition had moved them. It was true that the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenex Soul God Estate were power. However, they were all in disguise and they weren¡¯t needed to kill the disciples of these two sects. As for defending against them for half an incense¡¯s of time, keke, Mo Wuji must be dreaming. Couldn¡¯t they simply feign an injury and retreat after blocking a blow or two? At the same time, Mo Wuji was also laughing coldly in his heart. Help defend him for half an incense¡¯s time, did they think he was an idiot? It was already enough if these people could defend a single blow from the Heavenly God cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. After sending the ten storage rings away, Mo Wuji clasped his fists back to the crowd and said, "As I said before, it¡¯s better to squash the enmity between my Heavenly Mortal Sect, Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate than to keep it alive. Now, may my friends from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate please come forward. I will give wach friend 20,000 god lattice crystals as a symbol of my Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s sincerity." A bright smile was on Mo Wuji¡¯s face; his tone was extremely warm and genial. Chapter 927: Bloodied Battle Chapter 927: Bloodied Battle Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Hahahaha!" A loud chortle resounded. Following which, a Heavenly God Level 2 cultivator from Nine Evolutions God Sect said, "Not bad, you know how to adapt to the circumstances. Those that know how to adapt usually live long lives." After saying that, this Heavenly God was the first to come forward. A bright smile was still plastered on Mo Wuji¡¯s face. However, at the same time, his spirit storage channel was still inscribing array runes in the air. Soon, all 49 cultivators from the two sects came forward. They stopped ten steps away from Mo Wuji and stared at his hand. They were all waiting for Mo Wuji to take out the god lattice crystals. After Mo Wuji gave them the crystals, they would continue to rob him. If Mo Wuji was able to take out so many god lattice crystals, it would mean that he definitely had more on him. Mo Wuji grinned as his placed his hand on his storage ring. At the same time, he transmitted a message to the ten cultivators that took his god lattice crystals, "As long as you are willing to help, my god lattice crystals are yours." Everyone stared at Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring. All of a sudden, Mo Wuji¡¯s hand suddenly twisted. Five strings, as well as a halberd light which filled the sky, shot out. "He¡¯s playing tricks. Attack and kill him¡­" One Heavenly God cultivator had always been keeping his eyes on Mo Wuji. He had already suspected that Mo Wuji¡¯s actions were rather strange. Now that Mo Wuji had revealed himself, he was the first one to notice it and he immediately hurled his magic treasure towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s Five Elemental String conjured the Five Elemental Space. Thereafter, the boundless halberd light swept across this space like a surging wave of sand towards the 49 cultivators. All these were simply on the surface. Mo Wuji¡¯s true killing move was the activation of his array runes and his Grand Desert array flags, forming a peak Grade 1 trap god array. As for whether the Five Elemental String would reveal that he was the one that killed Wu Liang, Mo Wuji had long cast that matter aside. His Heavenly Mortal Sect was already gone, why would he have such sh*tty inhibitions? He might not even be to survive this battle. "Pff! Pff! Pff!!" The heads of seven to eight Nascent Gods fell off their necks as Mo Wuji¡¯s strings sliced past them. Spurt upon spurts of blood gushed out. A few flustered primordial spirits appeared within Mo Wuji¡¯s Five Elemental Space. Before these primordial spirits could escape, lightning bolts began to descend upon them. In that instant, Mo Wuji killed close to ten Nascent God cultivators. This was when the attacks from the five Heavenly God cultivators arrived. The reason why Mo Wuji picked ten people was because he was worried that some wouldn¡¯t be willing to help. Reality was just as Mo Wuji had predicted. Even though the ten cultivators that he picked were all in disguise, only four of them actually helped. The remaining people were either feigning surprise or they were really surprised. Either way, they didn¡¯t even take out their magic treasures. However, to Mo Wuji, having the attacks of four Heavenly God cultivators being blocked was already a huge and pleasant surprise. Originally, Mo Wuji had already prepared for the worse case scenario that only two people decided to help out. If that happened, he would have to use his Book of Luo and his Kun Wu Sword. But if he took them out, he would be thoroughly screwed. He would then become the target of everyone here. Mo Wuji knew that even though there were four Heavenly God cultivators helping him, they definitely wouldn¡¯t fight to their full capabilities. It was already not bad if they helped him block an attack each. Thus, at the same instant, Mo Wuji gave up on his defences as he shot out nine Spiritual Will Arrows. Even with Mo Wuji¡¯s strong sea of consciousness and his spirit storage channel working together, simultaneously shooting nine Spiritual Will Arrows had left his mind feeling blank and empty. At this time, how could Mo Wuji care about pill poison and side effects? An entire pill of Zhi Nature Pills was poured into Mo Wuji¡¯s mouth. With his newly forged halberd, he conjured a chasm-like halberd light. This was one of his Four Halberd Strikes - Remnant Chasm. It was exactly as Mo Wuji predicted, after these four Heavenly God cultivators defended a single blow for Mo Wuji, they all seemed to receive ¡®injuries¡¯ and they retreated. But this was already enough for Mo Wuji. The nine Spiritual Will Arrows shot through the air, drawing in all the killing intent and death energy from the surroundings. The instant the four Heavenly God cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate were blocked, the arrows shot into their seas of consciousness. Even though the four Heavenly God cultivators only helped Mo Wuji block a single attack, they have complemented his plans very well. The four Heavenly God cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate all coughed out a mouthful of blood. Even though they were all in the Heavenly God Stage, two Spiritual Will Arrows into their seas of consciousness was not something they could defend against. As the Spiritual Will Arrows slammed into their seas of consciousness, their minds were sent into chaos and disarray. Before they could recollect themselves, Mo Wuji¡¯s 30,000-meter-long Remnant Chasm came descending down upon them. Mo Wuji knew that this was his only chance to kill these four Heavenly God cultivators and this chance only lasted a single instant. If he didn¡¯t kill the four of them now, and now that he didn¡¯t have the help of any Heavenly God cultivators, he could only wait to die. "Ant, you dare¡­" That Heavenly God Level 4 cultivator¡¯s sea of consciousness was far stronger than the other three. Even though he was shot by two Spiritual Will Arrows, he was the first to regain his capabilities. It was just that at that instant, Mo Wuji¡¯s Five Elemental Space transformed into a killing array. For a Heavenly God to get out of this array formed from last-minute array runes and the Grand Desert array flags, only a single breath, maybe even less, was needed. All this was within Mo Wuji¡¯s calculations. He didn¡¯t even need a breath of them. As he prepared to go into battle with these cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, he already calculated that he would have less than a breath of time. This wasn¡¯t merely preventing for the worst. More importantly, Mo Wuji was only a puny early-stage Nascent God. If he claimed that he could fight with close to 50 Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods, his words could only be treated as a joke and not the truth. And now, it was a truth that was truer than real gold. "Pff!" Five mists of blood exploded. The four Heavenly God cultivators that were blocked were all cleaved in half by Mo Wuji¡¯s Remnant Chasm. The fifth blood mist was from Mo Wuji¡¯s own body. Even though that Heavenly God cultivator that wasn¡¯t blocked was shot by one of Mo Wuji¡¯s Spiritual Will Arrow, his magic treasure still landed heavily on Mo Wuji¡¯s chest. Despite Mo Wuji having a late-stage God Physique, a straight attack like that was enough to blast a hole in his chest; his bones and ribs could be seen clearly. If not for the strength of his physique and that his opponent had been shot by one of his Spiritual Will Arrows, that Heavenly God could have exploded half his body with that single attack. "Pfff! Pff!" After those five blood mists exploded, another ten attacks exploded on Mo Wuji. These were attacks from the Nascent Gods that had just reacted. Ever since Mo Wuji made his move till he killed seven Nascent Gods and four Heavenly Gods while he himself got injured by a Heavenly God, only a short time passed. In this short time, he killed 11 people from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, among which, four were Heavenly God cultivators. Everyone thought that Mo Wuji could kill those seven Nascent Gods because he had used a sneak attack. The same went for those four Heavenly Gods he killed. The reason why he even mentioned his god lattice crystals was to get people to help him defend against the attack of those four Heavenly Gods so that he could sneak an attack on them. However, no one knew what method Mo Wuji used for his sneak attack. It was even less likely that they knew that Mo Wuji had installed an array using mid-air array runes and his Grand Desert. At this moment, Mo Wuji¡¯s entire body was bloodied while the 30 over Nascent Gods were standing behind that Heavenly God Level 2 cultivator. "Mo Wuji, if I don¡¯t extract your soul and slowly torture it, then I, Ping Hong, would have wasted all my years of cultivation¡­" The only remaining Heavenly God stared at Mo Wuji with a fire in his eyes which simply wanted to devour Mo Wuji. Even though he was extremely infuriated, this Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s Heavenly God didn¡¯t attack immediately. Instead, he stared at the ten Heavenly Gods that received Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring and said, "The few of you retreat immediately and my Nine Evolutions God Sect will take it as though nothing has happened. If the few of you still wish to interfere, then you will be making enemies of my Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate." There was no need for this Nine Evolutions God Sect¡¯s Heavenly God to say anything. Those ten Heavenly Gods that received Mo Wuji¡¯s god lattice crystals had already started to slowly retreat. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t activate his array to trap these people. His abiltiies were too low. If not for that, he wouldn¡¯t even have asked for these strangers to help him in the first place. "You¡¯re gutsy. Your attack was a Spiritual Will Arrow, right? If you are willing to give me the method to cultivate the Spiritual Will Arrow, I am willing to help you block another attack and you can kill this Level 2 Heavenly God." A transmission suddenly sounded by Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t need to run to know that this was the fella that helped him defend against the Heavenly God Level 4 cultivator from Nine Evolutions God Sect. If not for this fella, he could only kill two Heavenly Gods at the very most. Mo Wuji did not seem to have any hesitations. He retrieved a jade letter, made a few inscriptions, then threw it towards that cultivator. "Attack, turn his body into meat juice but leave his primordial spirit¡­" At the same time as Mo Wuji threw that jade letter, the last Heavenly God from Nine Evolutions God Sect ordered. This was because he saw that those ten Heavenly Gods had already retreated. Thus, he no longer had any apprehensions. Right at this time, Mo Wuji also pounced towards this Heavenly God Level 2 cultivator. This time, an Yin Yang Diagram appeared in front of his fist and shot towards this Heavenly God. By the side, Tang Wuzhen saw this Yin Yang Diagram and subconsciously retreated backwards. He still had lingering fears towards Mo Wuji¡¯s Wheel of Life and Death. Seeing Mo Wuji¡¯s actions, how could he not know that this was the Wheel of Life and Death? "Ant!" When he saw that Mo Wuji still dared to try and attack him, this Heavenly God harrumphed coldly. He also pounced towards Mo Wuji. Without the help of Heavenly Gods, Mo Wuji was simply an ant among ants. As this Heavenly God was still in midair, the energy of death began to wrap around him. What frightened him was that the space around him was also sealed suddenly. Someone was definitely helping Mo Wuji secretly. Even if Mo Wuji was any stronger, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t have sealed his space, not even for half a breath of time. "Pff!" A mist of blood exploded. Even though he was only sealed for an instant, that instant was enough for the Wheel of Life and Death to land on him. The ten Heavenly Gods that received Mo Wuji¡¯s storage ring all retreated. At this same instant, Mo Wuji killed the final Heavenly God from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. Chapter 928: If You Don’t Fall, Then Continue Fighting Chapter 928: If You Don¡¯t Fall, Then Continue Fighting Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was very grateful towards that Heavenly God that helped him. If not for that Heavenly God''s help, then with that remaining Heavenly God and so many Nascent Gods, not only would he definitely die in battle, it would also be hard for him to kill any further Nascent Gods. Rather than saying that the final Heavenly God was killed by his Wheel of Life and Death, it was more accurate to say that he was killed by that Heavenly God. To Mo Wuji, there was no need to talk about the cultivation method for the Spiritual Will Arrow. Even if the other party asked for the Seven World Finger, he would be willing. The crowd descended into silence. Everyone stated at Mo Wuji and the 30 over Nascent Gods. Five Heavenly Gods were killed. Even though they fell under Mo Wuji''s schemes, no one dared to underestimate Mo Wuji now. The victor between Mo Wuji and these 30 over Nascent Gods was still hard to determine. "Attack, even if he''s any stronger, he''s only one man.¡¯ Tang Wuzhen ordered harshly as he took out his Cosmos Starry Sky. When there were Heavenly Gods around, Tang Wuzhen didn''t need to take charge; the Heavenly Gods would naturally be the ones to lead them. Now that the Heavenly Gods from the two sects were all killed by Mo Wuji, he had to come forward. Mo Wuji didn''t even utter a single word as his Five Elemental String transformed into five beams of light that shot towards one person within the group. His halberd conjured another huge halberd light and his concealed array runes formed a temporary killing array. Lightning continuously fell within the halberd light. River upon river also cascaded down without warning. As each river crashed down, a cultivator would be killed. Every time the Five Elemental String shot through the air, another cultivator would be sliced into pieces. At this instant, Mo Wuji was fighting while burning his life force. At the same time, the 30 over Nascent Gods that were swept into Mo Wuji''s array were attacking with great intensity. The sounds of bones cracking continuously resounded through the air. Within the Five Elemental Space, blood mists exploded, magic treasure light danced around and elemental energy howled unceasingly. Mo Wuji attacked without defending himself; every time he killed a person, another ten wounds would form on his body. This was the enmity between sects. Although it was clear that Heavenly Mortal Sect was going to be destroyed, no one wanted to poke their noses into this battle. "This Mo Wuji is really strong. Could he be a Heavenly God?" Someone within the crowd cried in astonishment. "Definitely not. Cultivators that have already condensed their god lattices would know that Mo Wuji is in the Nascent God late stage at the most. His Heavenly Mortal Sect''s cultivation technique clearly allows them to conceal their cultivation level, which was why we always thought that he was only an early stage Nascent God." "You are all wrong. That Mo Wuji is definitely an early stage Nascent God and not a late stage one." A resolute voice interrupted the discussion. No one refuted this person''s words because the one who spoke was Lin Feng, a genius disciple of Forgotten Creek Dao School with a cultivation of Heavenly God Stage Level 5. No matter how a person concealed his cultivation, he would be able to see through it. This was because Lin Feng had a spiritual eye. In the entire crowd, Qu You was probably the only one who was worried for Mo Wuji. The moment Qu You saw Mo Wuji''s Five Elemental String, she knew that Mo Wuji was the person she was looking for. When she thought about how that Nine Evolutions God Sect disciple said that Mo Wuji obtained many placings to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest, she was even more sure of her guess. Mo Wuji was far more powerful than she had imagined. Mo Wuji had killed five Heavenly Gods in a row and was now battling with 30 over Nascent Gods alone. Would it be weird that he could use his spiritual will in the seafloor of God Domain Nest Sea? While she was agitated, she was also worried. If she didn''t want to involve her sect, she might have charged in and helped. However, she knew very well that she couldn¡¯t do that. It was simple to charge in, but what comes after would be complicated. She was a core disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Now, this was a battle between the Heavenly Mortal Sect, Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. If she went in, she would be misrepresenting the intentions of her Forggoten Creek Dao School. ¡­ Following the deaths of more cultivators from the two sects, more wounds formed on Mo Wuji¡¯s body. The violet lake within his sea of consciousness seemed to be drying up and his vision started to turn blurry. As he continued to burn his life force, his hair started to turn dull grey. He did not care as he continued to swallow one pill after another and struck out with sacred art upon sacred art. At this time, he was either slaughtering or killing. Even though he had a late stage God Physique, this sort of reckless battling without heed for defence was still too much to handle. There was no need to talk about the hole that was already in his chest. By now, the bones all over his body could be seen. One of his legs was sliced off and one of his arms had been blasted away. Mo Wuji could no longer be considered a whole person. However, it seemed as though he had gone crazy; he continued to fight without defending himself. With every attack, he would reap the life off one of his opponents. If he didn¡¯t have a late stage God Physique, if he didn¡¯t have his vitality channel, if he hadn¡¯t prepared an array¡­ Few Mo Wujis would have been killed by now. "He is an arrow at the end of his flight. Everyone, don¡¯t engage in by yourself¡­" Tang Wuzhen could tell that Mo Wuji was much stronger than them, however, he wasn¡¯t so strong that he could kill all of them by himself. They had made a mistake previously; they should not have fought individually. If they fought with order and in formation, then they would have killed many Mo Wujis by now. Before Tang Wuzhen finished this sentence, he realised that there were only four people left. It was too late, what kind of effective formation could they form with just four people? Mo Wuji felt his mind in disarray. Even Tang Wuzhen who was right in front of him looked like two separate people. "Pff!" A cultivator from Phoenix Soul God Estate used a radiant blade to slice Mo Wuji¡¯s underbelly. Even Mo Wuji¡¯s intestines were on the brink of falling out. With only one leg left, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t stand any further. He fell to the ground. Mo Wuji acted as though nothing had happened. His low-grade halberd stabbed into his opponent¡¯s forehead. What a terrifying battle. All those in the surrounding spectated with trepidating hearts. What was this Mo Wuji made of? He was simply a stone-hard man that couldn¡¯t be killed. The crowd only saw fresh blood continuously gush out of Mo Wuji¡¯s body. They only saw one bone after another being shattered. Even though Mo Wuji was now sitting on the ground, they didn¡¯t see any sense of defeat or any intentions of stopping. Perhaps this battle would truly end only when he was completely killed? "The Nascent God Fruits have ripened¡­" A cry of pleasant surprise broke the silence. At the same time, a soothing and comforting fragrance wafted into everyone¡¯s noses. At this instant, everyone charged towards the Nascent God Fruit Tree, furiously pillaging the fruits. The moment the smell from the ripe Nascent God Fruits invaded his nose, Mo Wuji¡¯s mind received a shock. He regained a slight moment of clarity. He did not hesitate to self-explode his killing array. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Mo Wuji¡¯s killing array was of a low level. However, there were only three people left and they were all riddled with injuries. At the same time, Mo Wuji used all his remaining strength to release a punch towards the Nascent God Level 6 cultivator near him. This Nascent God Level 6 cultivator clearly saw Mo Wuji¡¯s fist approaching. However, he was just unable to dodge it. "Bang!" A mist of blood exploded. Mo Wuji seemed to see stars. His mind went blur and his consciousness seemed to be on the brink of collapsing. Mo Wuji used his remaining bit of spiritual will to grab his broken leg and activated his Wind Escape Technique. He did not take a single one of the storage rings. It wasn¡¯t because he didn¡¯t want them, but because he didn¡¯t dare to take them. Don¡¯t simply look at how no one interfered in their battle. It wasn¡¯t simply because they didn¡¯t want to get involved in the enmity between sects. It was also because they were waiting for Mo Wuji to kill all the cultivators from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, then they could feast on the spoils of war. If there were still people from the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate still alive, it wouldn¡¯t be a good idea for them to start scavenging for storage rings. The moment the Wind Escape Technique was activated, Mo Wuji disappeared. It was truly because Mo Wuji¡¯s Wind Escape Technique was too strong. Coupled with the fact that he didn¡¯t touch a single storage ring and that the Nascent God Fruits had ripened, he was able to escape successfully. After Mo Wuji left, almost everyone started to engage in a struggle for the Nascent God Fruits and storage rings. If Mo Wuji didn¡¯t show his terrifying combat capabilities, someone would have definitely chased after him. But now that Mo Wuji single-handedly killed five Heavenly Gods and almost wiped out all the Nascent Gods from Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, who would be willing to pursue him? Moreover, who would be willing to give up the Nascent God Fruits and storage rings here to attempt to catch Mo Wuji? That Mo Wuji had said it before, he had the blood-space escape talisman. Well, there was one person - Qu You. Qu You didn¡¯t fight for the Nascent God Fruits, nor did she scavenge the storage rings. Instead, she sped towards the direction that Mo Wuji left in. She had always been paying attention to Mo Wuji. She was sure that if Mo Wuji met someone along the way, it was very possible that he would get killed. Mo Wuji had saved her twice. She hoped that she could at least be able to help Mo Wuji, even if it was only for a bit. If she wasn¡¯t able to catch Mo Wuji, then all the better. That would mean that Mo Wuji had successfully escaped. Chapter 929: Wind Escape Technique’s Enlightenment Chapter 929: Wind Escape Technique¡¯s Enlightenment Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Previously, the exhaustion of energy by using the Wind Escape Technique was always negligible to Mo Wuji. However, while he was still in space, Mo Wuji suddenly felt that he was gradually losing his own will. Even the circulation of the vitality channel started to slow down. Mo Wuji''s first instinct was to stop using the Wind Escape Technique and enter his Undying World. Da Huang and Shuai Guo were still in the Undying World. They could help him attach his broken leg back to his body. With his advanced God Stage fleshly body, it would be a big problem for him if he couldn''t reattach his broken leg back to his body. Or rather, the strength of his broken leg would be lowered by several grades. This was unless he could find a peak grade heavenly treasure to aid the recovery of his leg. Even so, Mo Wuji was well aware of the possibility of finding a treasure like that. Wherever the place, peak grade heavenly treasures were incredibly rare existences. Because of his severe injuries, Mo Wuji''s world channel turned slightly sluggish when he tried to enter his Undying World. Because of this sluggishness, Mo Wuji''s will was completely blurred out. A trace of desperation filled his heart as he knew that this might the end for him. Even if there weren''t any demonic beasts, there were other cultivators in this area. They would not hesitate to kill him in the state that he was in before removing his storage ring. ¡­ Qu You didn''t expect to find Mo Wuji lying unconsciously on the ground after only about a few thousand miles. Mo Wuji''s broken leg was lying by the side. He was so severely wounded that he didn''t even have the chance to feed himself healing pills. Qu You suddenly turned anxious because Mo Wuji had fallen so shortly after escaping. When considering the distance, anyone would be able to sense Mo Wuji with their spiritual will. When that happened, Mo Wuji would definitely die. She couldn''t care about anything else as she charged forward to carry Mo Wuji up. "Hold on¡­" A voice could be heard and a silhouette arrived. Qu You could tell that it was a disciple of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. This disciple might not be aware that Mo Wuji had already killed tens of disciples from his Phoenix Soul God Estate. However, Qu You was well aware that there was deep enmity between Mo Wuji and the Phoenix Soul God Estate. She moved even faster as he swept up Mo Wuji and his broken leg before activating a talisman to escape. "You think you can run after killing so many members of my Phoenix Soul God Estate?" This disciple''s eyes were filled with fury as he shot out a signal talisman. Following which, he darted towards the direction which Qu You disappeared. All the disciples of the Phoenix Soul God Estate received the message that Mo Wuji was killing plenty of their comrades. Therefore, he rushed over to the scene just like the other disciples. Unexpectedly, he actually bumped into the escaping Mo Wuji on his way to the scene. ¡­ Tens of breath later, Qu You landed between a depression of the mountains. The first thing she did was to help attach Mo Wuji''s broken leg back before feeding some healing pills to Mo Wuji. The previous scene of Mo Wuji standing strong despite the numerous attacks on him made her certain of something. Mo Wuji was definitely a cultivator who tempered his physique. Every fleshly body part of such a cultivator was exceedingly precious to the cultivator. The moment Mo Wuji''s broken leg lost its vitality, the strength of that leg in the future would decrease by one entire level. Therefore, her first instinct was to reattach his broken leg. Qu You was from the Forgotten Creek Dao School so she had quite a number of healing pills. In fact, the pills with her were a few grades better than Senior Brother Death, Wu Liang''s ones. Very quickly, Mo Wuji''s will returned back to his sea of consciousness. Once he regained consciousness, Mo Wuji''s vitality channel started circulating rapidly again. With the vitality channel leading the way, the other 107 meridians started to form a massive healing circulation. A shocked Qu You couldn''t help herself as she stared at Mo Wuji. It was her first time healing such a mighty cultivator. Mo Wuji''s vitality and fleshly body was healing at an incredible rate. Mo Wuji forced his eyes opened. After seeing that Qu You had rescued him, his heart heaved a huge sigh of relief. Even though Qu You was from the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Mo Wuji''s impression of her was pretty decent. In actual fact, he even rescued her twice. "Thank you¡­" Just as Mo Wuji uttered these two words, he sensed an extreme danger approaching them. Qu You saw how Mo Wuji finally managed to open his eyes and she was elated. Just as she was about to reply, she saw Mo Wuji revealed an extremely anxious look. "Hurry up and escape. The faster the better¡­" After saying that in a hurry, Mo Wuji shut his eyes as he continued to circulate his meridians wildly. Simultaneously, Mo Wuji used his world channel to connect to his Breath of Hongmeng in his Undying World. He had to recover in the shortest possible time. Qu You was dumbfounded as she carried Mo Wuji up immediately. Mo Wuji was undoubtedly much stronger than her and was also much more mysterious. While she had yet to detect any sort of danger, she believed that Mo Wuji wouldn''t have said that blindly. One hour later, Qu You''s expression turned ugly. She finally sensed the danger behind her and that people were in pursuit after them. She only had one talisman to escape and with her current speed, she was unable to shake the pursuers off. At this moment, she actually sensed a grand and magnificent energy which contained the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Under normal circumstances, people would usually not be able to detect Mo Wuji''s connection using the world channel. Now that Qu You was carrying Mo Wuji, she could naturally sense the Breath of Hongmeng surging into Mo Wuji''s body. However, Qu You couldn''t afford to waste any more time caring about that mysterious energy surging into Mo Wuji. If she didn''t leave now, the people behind would definitely be able to finish Mo Wuji and herself off. Half an incense later, Qu You''s spiritual will sensed the faint silhouette behind her. This was when she grew even more anxious. What should I do? Qu You rarely faced such extreme dangers in her life. "Let me down¡­" Just as Qu You was lost and anxious, she heard Mo Wuji''s voice. "No way, I believe that the people chasing us are all experts from the Phoenix Soul God Estate. There are even Heavenly God experts there. Even if he is only in the Heavenly God Level 1, he isn''t someone you and I can handle in our current state." Qu You rejected Mo Wuji''s suggestion without hesitation. "Whoosh!" A sharp arrow was shot through space and the mighty energy locked onto the space around them. Qu You was unable to dodge or move under that mighty energy. "Ai!" A blood arrow pierced right through Qu You''s chest and a fresh trail of blood splattered out. The fresh blood landed on Mo Wuji''s face as he saw Qu You''s face of desperation. Under the attack of such a long arrow, Qu You''s domain was nothing more than a decoration. "That is the Phoenix Soul God Estate''s Heavenly God Level 4 expert, Yan Neng, whose nickname is Rainy Arrows. He uses an intermediate grade god equipment, Rainy Arrows Bow." Qu You said while looking extraordinarily depressed. If anyone else chased after them, she could still gamble with her life. Now that Yan Neng was the one who chased after them, she lost the last bit of hope she had. Mo Wuji took a deep breath before landing on the ground from Qu You''s hands. Even though his vitality channel was incredibly useful, he still had a sensing that his body might fall apart any time now. Presently, Mo Wuji didn''t even need to use his spiritual will to see the Phoenix Soul God Estate''s expert, Yan Neng. Yan Neng was holding onto a grey coloured bow as he placed yet another arrow back on his bow. "I''m sorry, you''ve rescued me twice and I cannot even rescue you once¡­" Qu You felt guilty as she felt that she was useless. Mo Wuji managed to kill 40 to 50 cultivators from the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate. However, she wasn''t even able to help him escape from one Heavenly God cultivator. Mo Wuji noticed that the blood hole in Qu You''s chest was pierced through by the arrow of Yan Neng. However, Mo Wuji was aware that no matter how much he wanted to avenge Qu You, this wasn''t the time to do so. Fighting with all your might and seeking death were two very different concepts. Stopping here to fight with that Heavenly God expert now would be seeking death. After killing close to 50 disciples of the two sects, Mo Wuji had already collected some interests for the Heavenly Mortal Sect. What he needed to do now was not to risk his life to fight to his death. Instead, he should be preparing for future revenge. Mo Wuji reacted by carrying Qu You in his arms. "What are you doing? Hurry up and put me down¡­" Qu You was stunned as her face of despair turned into grief and indignation. She didn''t expect Mo Wuji to be such a despicable person. Was he trying to take advantage of her at a moment like this? "Ai!" Mo Wuji''s injuries were already very severe and were still far from being fully recovered. Now that Qu You struggled a little, he instantly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Mo Wuji''s pale face turned even paler than before. Qu You sighed but didn''t continue struggling anymore. Since both of them were going to die, what was the use of struggling? After all, Mo Wuji saved her twice so she did owe this life to him. Mo Wuji activated his Wind Escape Technique. A slight wind breezed past Mo Wuji and that was when Yan Neng shot out his second arrow. Death was already locked onto Mo Wuji but in this particular instance, Mo Wuji suddenly had a moment of enlightenment. His body swayed slightly and disappeared from where he was standing. Additionally, the laws of the space around him was completely unaffected. "Bang!" The arrow pierced through Mo Wuji''s position as it exploded at Mo Wuji''s shadow. Yan Neng landed where Mo Wuji disappeared as he looked forward in disbelief. He was actually unable to discern Mo Wuji''s location now. "What technique was that?" Yan Neng muttered to himself as he was immensely shocked. He witnessed spatial teleportation before. Therefore, he acknowledged that spatial teleportation was truly a strong sacred art. However, how far a person could teleport depended on how deep the individual''s understanding of the laws of space was. Even so, one condition would never change. That was the fluctuations of the laws of space when spatial teleportation was executed. When Mo Wuji escaped, there was not a single fluctuation in space. Now that he couldn''t even find a single clue as to where Mo Wuji escaped to, how was he able to continue his pursuit? Chapter 930: Nowhere To Go Chapter 930: Nowhere To Go Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was indescribably excited even though he was almost killed. At the brink of death, Mo Wuji gained insights on the Wind Teleportation. He finally stepped into the true third realm of his Wind Escape Technique. Wind Teleportation was a skill that needed wind. Whenever there was wind, he would be able to teleport and the distance depended on the cultivation level. From a long time ago, Mo Wuji knew that there were five realms to his WInd Escape Technique. When he advanced to the God King Stage, his Wind Escape Technique surpassed the Formless Wind Stage. However, no matter how he used his Wind Teleportation, he would always leave a trace behind. This meant that his Wind Teleportation still contained some Laws of spatial teleportation. Even when he managed to teleport away, others would still be able to capture traces of his movement. Presently, Mo Wuji finally realised that his previous Wind Teleportation was still in its initial form. Today was the day when he finally gained insights on the true Wind Teleportation. The true Wind Teleportation had nothing to do with the spatial laws as it was only related to the wind element in space. As he used his Wind Teleportation, he could make use of the wind element to disappear and step into another space with wind element. Capturing traces of Mo Wuji wouldn''t seem possible. This was unless someone had an extremely refined understanding of the wind elements or cultivated the wind type. Now that Mo Wuji had control over the true Wind Teleportation sacred art, he grew confident. Other than experts of much higher cultivation level than him, he would never be surrounded and trapped ever again.. Back when he was in the Cultivation World, he was encircled by experts. Eventually, he was rescued by Cen Shuyin, who burnt her lifeforce in doing so. Presently, as long as he remained vigilant, encircling him would not be that easy anymore. At the thought of Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji''s heart suddenly felt empty as he started to miss her. Ever since the incident at the Soul Condensing Pond, he never heard about her anymore. After recomposing himself, Mo Wuji continued to execute his Wind Teleportation for a few more times. After confirming that the people behind were no longer following them, he let Qu You down. After recovering some of his elemental energy earlier on, he exhausted them all yet again. Qu You hurried to pass Mo Wuji a few pills as she said apologetically. "Senior Brother Mo, I''ve misunderstood you previously. I''m sorry." Qu You might be apologising calmly but she was exceedingly dumbfounded at the incidents that occurred. Even with severe injuries, Mo Wuji was able to carry her and escape from the pursuit of Yan Neng. Just how ridiculously strong was Mo Wuji? The impression Mo Wuji gave Qu You was that as long as he still had one last breath, nobody could do anything to him. "Thank you, Senior Sister Qu for saving my life." Mo Wuji received the healing pills as he expressed his sincere gratitude. If it wasn''t for Qu You, Mo Wuji was certain that he wouldn''t be alive anymore. Qu You hurried to reply. "Senior Brother Mo, your cultivation level is higher than mine so just address me as Junior Sister. If we are talking about saving lives, Senior Brother Mo saved my life numerous times. If it isn''t for you, the world will no longer have a Qu You." Mo Wuji didn''t bother explaining so he asked, "Senior Sister Qu, I need to find a place to heal myself. Are your injuries serious?" Qu You shook her head, "My injuries are not serious and I am already in the midst of recovery. But your current condition¡­" Qu You was originally intending to say how terrible Mo Wuji''s current condition was. However, she recalled how she was brought to safety by Mo Wuji just seconds ago. This was why she swallowed back her words at the very last minute. While Yan Neng''s arrow pierced through Qu You''s chest, this shouldn''t be a severe injury for an expert in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. It was likely that Yan Neng didn''t really want or dare to kill Qu You. This was why he only used an arrow to stop her from moving. Yan Neng naturally didn''t expect Mo Wuji to gain insights on his true Wind Teleportation which even he couldn''t keep up with. "I have to leave now and I doubt I will appear in the future again. Also, if you meet any disciples of my Heavenly Mortal Sect, do tell them to stay in hiding and do not reveal themselves." Mo Wuji sighed as he told Qu You. After killing tens of disciples from the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate, how could he reveal himself in the future? Disciples, who were able to enter the God Domain Nest, were clearly disciples nurtured by the various sects. Peak grade experts would definitely find trouble with him once he exposed himself outside. Mo Wuji couldn''t help but sigh as he did try not to create conflicts with the big sects. It was just like when he controlled himself from killing Tang Wuzhen. It wasn''t because he was afraid of Tang Wuzhen. Instead, it was because he really wanted to focus on his cultivation and not invite troubles for himself. Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, it was destined for him to walk on a path filled with thistles and thorns. Regardless of how he controlled himself, he still managed to offend two sects. Making it worse, he even killed over 50 of their genius disciples. After this incident, Mo Wuji knew that he would no longer have a foothold in the God Domain. Even if he continued to stay in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, he was merely delaying the time before he got caught by the experts of these two sects. Looking at how Mo Wuji''s entire body was covered in blood, scars and bones which were protruding out, Qu You felt immensely sorrowful. From the very beginning till the end, Qu You was well aware of what happened. She couldn''t say that Mo Wuji was rash or whatever he did was wrong. If she was in his shoes, she would probably cower and await her death in situations like these. Evidently, Mo Wuji wasn''t the type who would kneel and plead for forgiveness. This was why he incited such an intense war earlier. She was even more aware of Mo Wuji''s future predicament. Even though Mo Wuji had an escape technique, only death would fall upon Mo Wuji after the opening of the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Regardless of how vast the God Domain was, it was only a matter of time before he would be captured. "Where do you plan on going?" Qu You couldn''t help herself but to ask. Mo Wuji shook his head as he said with a confused tone. "I have no idea." He was truly clueless. With his current rate of cultivation, there would be a limit to how much his cultivation could rise. This was even if he continued to hide in this newly incubated God Domain Nest for ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, this place would already be filled and occupied by people. At that time, how could he continue hiding in here? Qu You bit her lips as she said. "Every hundred thousand years, there will be a Clear Ocean Path emerging from the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction. The Clear Ocean Path will be there for about hundred years. If you could travel across the Clear Ocean Path towards the God Continent, you will not need to fear the pursuit of the two sects anymore." Mo Wuji looked blankly at Qu You. "What is the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction? Where is the God Continent on the God Domain?" This time around, it was Qu You''s turn to look at Mo Wuji blankly. After a while, she finally replied in some disbelief, "You don''t know what is the God Continent or the Nirvana Ocean?" Mo Wuji shook his head. "I was a rogue cultivator and was accepted by the Heavenly Mortal Sect not too long ago. Therefore, the Heavenly Mortal Sect is my home. Now that it is gone, I no longer have anywhere else to go." Qu You suddenly grew sympathetic. While she never had a depressed personality, she was never too sympathetic towards others. It was likely because she never understood the lives of others. In fact, her whole life was dedicated to only cultivation. Anything else would only exist for the sake of cultivation. She replied gently, "Do you know why this place isn''t known as the God World but God Domain?" Without waiting for a reply, she continued to explain. "This place was originally called the God World too. I''ve heard that since a long time ago, a tear appeared in the God World and a corpse fell from it. That corpse contained a vast, boundless and majestic energy. Under that terrifying pressure, all the cultivators in the God World crawled onto the ground. After that corpse landed in the Ji Ocean, the Ji Ocean water instantly turned red. Not only that, the Ji Ocean continuously engulfed the land around it as it constantly expanded. Eventually, the Ji Ocean divided the God World into two and the half that we are standing on was called the God Domain. The other half was named as the God Continent." Mo Wuji was astonished at how the corpse managed to turn the whole ocean red. Qu You continued, "After the Ji Ocean was turned red, it basically had no corners as it was incredibly boundless. Also, not even a goose feather was able to float on the waters of the Ji Ocean. Anyone who enters the waters will be oppressed to death. After which, the Ji Ocean was renamed as the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction as all lives die out in it." "What is the Clear Ocean Path?" Mo Wuji questioned once more. Qu You explained patiently, "Every hundred thousand years, a clear path will emerge from the red Nirvana Ocean. This path on the ocean contains no dangers. Not only is the water blue, even boats are able to travel through it without any pressure. Rumours spread that this path leads towards the God Continent . Most people who want to head towards the God Continent can use this Clear Ocean Path to leave." Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised as he asked, "When was the last time the Clear Ocean Path appeared?" Qu You wasn''t as surprised as Mo Wuji as she answered. "The last time it appeared was about 90 thousand years ago and it should appear soon. I''m not sure if it would appear in the next hundred or thousand years specifically." "Many thanks Senior Sister Qu, I''ve made my decision to head to the God Continent. Oh yes, were there many people heading towards the God Continent previously? Or were there a lot of people coming here from the God Continent?" Mo Wuji expressed his thanks. Without any foothold left in the God Domain for him, where else could he go except for the God Continent? Despite knowing that Mo Wuji''s only option was to head towards the God Continent, Qu You replied apologetically. "Through the countless years, all we knew was that the God Domain and God Continent existed on either side of the Nirvana Ocean. Countless people tried heading over the other side from either side but no one seems to be able to cross over to the other side successfully. A lot of rumours spread that the distance of the Nirvana Ocean is not something a person can cover in just a hundred years." Qu You really wanted to help Mo Wuji but she had no idea how she could help. Mo Wuji still expressed his gratitude as he said, "Many thanks Senior Sister Qu, we shall bid our goodbyes now." "Hold on¡­" Qu You called out for Mo Wuji as she handed Mo Wuji a faint smelling face mask magic treasure. "This is an intermediate grade face mask god equipment and I shall gift it to you. Given your current predicaments, you need it more than I do. Also, this¡­" Having said that, Qu You took out another storage ring. "This is a high grade god spiritual vein which I obtain coincidentally in the newly incubated God Domain Nest. You will not able to come out to look for cultivation resources so this is also for you¡­" Chapter 931: Ku Cai’s Disappearance Chapter 931: Ku Cai¡¯s Disappearance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I cannot accept this." Mo Wuji hurried to reject Qu You''s storage ring. Even if God Kings were exchanging gifts, a high grade god spiritual vein was already considered as a peak grade luxurious gift. Smaller sects might even fight with each other for intermediate grade god spiritual vein, let alone high grade god spiritual vein. If this wasn''t the newly incubated God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji was certain that Qu You wouldn''t be able to obtain such treasure. "Senior Brother Mo, you are severely injured and need to recover urgently. I am still a core disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. As long as I find someone from the same sect, I can continue searching for more cultivation resources." Qu You didn''t accept the storage ring which Mo Wuji pushed back to her. Mo Wuji was blushing in shame as he replied. "You''ve saved my life and even offered to gift me this god spiritual vein. I, Mo Wuji, am really ashamed to accept this gift." Qu You smiled, "If you hadn''t saved me first, I, Qu You, would have lost my life. Senior Brother Mo, I''m sure we''ll meet again someday¡­" At this moment, Qu You''s slightly pale face turned grey as she fell directly onto the ground, unconscious. Mo Wuji could smell a faint sweet energy and he was instantly shocked. Mo Wuji had the detoxification meridian and through the years, he faced countless poisons before. He even faced some, which were not pure poison, that would erode one''s spirit channels. The moment Mo Wuji sensed this sweet smell, he knew for sure that it was poison. The arrow shot by Yan Neng earlier was clearly covered in poison. The unfortunate thing for Yan Neng was that he met Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was never afraid of any sort of poisons so he simply sat down in front of Qu You. He extended his arm to cover the wound on Qu You''s back. The detoxification meridian started circulating as traces of the poisons were swept away by Mo Wuji. After almost ten breaths, Mo Wuji relaxed his hand. His heart was in shock as he finally realised why Qu You was a core disciple of a big sect. Qu You actually possessed 105 spiritual roots. After the opening of the spiritual roots, there would no longer be an increase in the number of spiritual roots in one''s body. Possessing 105 spiritual roots was certainly worthy to be called a genius among geniuses. Qu You opened her eyes as she saw Mo Wuji seated beside her. She quickly sat up surprisingly. She looked at how her wound was almost fully recovered. "I was poisoned?" Qu You asked immediately as she sat up. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, that Yan Neng''s arrow contained deadly poison. Fortunately, I am able to help you remove the poison¡­" Hearing that Mo Wuji helped detoxified her body, Qu You''s expression turned slightly uncomfortable. The fact that Mo Wuji didn''t use any pills to dissolve her poison meant that Mo Wuji checked through her body once. At the thought of this, Qu You couldn''t stay here for any longer as she hurried to speak. "Thank you Senior Brother Mo, I have to leave now." "Hold on¡­" Mo Wuji called out for Qu You as he handed her a jade box with all sorts of restrictions on it. "This is for you and remember not to open it in front of others." "Alright, goodbye then." Qu You''s body flashed as she disappeared in front of Mo Wuji. She received the jade box in a hurry so she didn''t reject his gift. "Thank you." After Qu You left, Mo Wuji still clasped his fists towards the direction which Qu You left towards. This convinced him of a certain belief. At times when he helped others during their times of need, he would, in turn, be helping himself too. If he didn''t reach out to help Qu You back then, Qu You wouldn''t have followed behind him to save him. Mo Wuji understood Qu You''s intention. She wanted him to stay hidden in the newly incubated God Domain Nest for a few hundred years before finding ways to leave this place. However, Mo Wuji didn''t want to do that as he wished to leave this place immediately. The newly incubated God Domain Nest was indeed big but Mo Wuji really didn''t wish to continue staying here. The Heavenly Mortal Sect would no longer exist so why would he wait for his death here? If the Nine Evolution God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate was convincing enough, they could send in a few God Kings very soon. Even though this possibility wasn''t big, Mo Wuji didn''t dare to gamble. He truly wanted to leave as soon as possible. After parting with Qu You, Mo Wuji left instantly. He wanted to look for Ku Cai. When he finally decided to leave the God Domain, he wanted to bring Ku Cai along. ¡­ After half a day of travelling, Qu You finally came to a halt at a canyon with her slightly uncomfortable expression. She was the core disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School as well as the number one beauty of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Naturally, she would have many geniuses going after her. Even so, she didn''t put them to heart. One of the reason was because she always maintained a traditional mindset. She didn''t like those geniuses with multiples dao companions. While a lot of the geniuses in the God World looked extremely young, these people probably had countless dao companions before. How many years would it take for someone to ascend from the Cultivation World to the God World? Through these countless years, these people would probably change their dao companion many times before. At the thought of this, Qu You felt disgusted. The second reason was that she never come across anyone she truly fancied. What she never expected was how her body was unintentionally looked through by Mo Wuji. Because of this, she was unsure of how she should react. Mo Wuji was her life saviour and was also someone she saved. The only thing she could do now was to not associate with him anymore in the future. Qu You sighed as she threw these thoughts aside. In fact, Mo Wuji might not even survive after all these. Even though she was comforting Mo Wuji, she was well aware that the God Kings of the two sects would have been alerted. Once the God Kings entered this place to look for Mo Wuji, he would no longer have anywhere else to hide. Even so, she couldn''t let Mo Wuji leave now. Letting Mo Wuji leave now would be equivalent to letting him die early. As Qu You shook her head, she took out the jade box which Mo Wuji handed her. Mo Wuji saved her life and she saved Mo Wuji''s life. This was before she gifted him her own intermediate grade god face mask and also a high grade god spiritual vein. She believed that this was enough to repay Mo Wuji''s life-saving grace. When Qu You saw that octagonal crystal stone, her hands trembled as she almost dropped the jade box on the floor. "Primal God Lattice Crystal?" Qu You exclaimed as she hurried to cover the jade box. Her heart was still beating rapidly because who would give out a Primal God Lattice Crystal? If people were to rank the most valuable items in the God Domain, the Primal God Lattice Crystal would undoubtedly be one of the top few. The Primal God Lattice Crystal was always rumoured in the legends and she actually saw it with her own eyes today. Moreover, it was a gift to her by someone else. Before today, Qu You would never believe if someone told her that a person would gift a stranger the Primal God Lattice Crystal. Now, her conviction was finally swayed. After tens of breaths, Qu You let out a long sigh. There were many geniuses in the God Domain and she met many well-known figures. Even within her Forgotten Creek Dao School, there was more than one genius. However, she was convinced that none of them would be as bold as Mo Wuji in terms of repaying life-saving grace. Qu You thought about how she would no longer owe Mo Wuji anything by gifting him a high grade god spiritual vein. Now that she received this Primal God Lattice Crystal from him, she realised that she owed Mo Wuji even more. How many high grade god spiritual veins could be exchanged for a Primal God Lattice Crystal? Not even multiple peak grade god spiritual veins could be exchanged for a Primal God Lattice Crystal. For a person like Mo Wuji, who have yet to condense his god lattice, why would he even give out a Primal God Lattice Crystal? No, she mustn''t accept this. Even while Qu You really wanted to keep this Primal God Lattice Crystal, she knew that she would be too greedy to accept this. Qu You hurried to keep the Primal God Lattice Crystal as she went back the same direction she came from. Half a day later, she arrived back where she parted from Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji was already gone. Qu You knew that Mo Wuji was sincere in gifting this crystal so she bowed slightly before leaving once more. With the Primal God Lattice Crystal, she would be able to condense the most powerful god lattice in the God Domain. ¡­ If it was any ordinary circumstance, Mo Wuji would definitely not give away the Primal God Lattice Crystal even if he had no use for it. He wasn''t that generous of a person. However, Qu You saved his life once so why wasn''t the Primal God Lattice Crystal worth giving it to her? Even if he had many valuable items on him, what was the use of these items if he lost his life? Also, he had another reason for giving away the Primal God Lattice Crystal. That was how Qu You''s act of saving him should have been known by others. Once the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate chose to pressure the Forgotten Creek Dao School on this matter, it wouldn''t do Qu You any good. However, things would be different if he gave Qu You the Primal God Lattice Crystal to allow her to condense her god lattice. She would become a Heavenly God and also the number one figure for the Forgotten Creek Dao School to protect. Additionally, he had no use for the item which he gave Qu You. How can a man be so petty in his gifts for a woman? ¡­ Because his Wind Escape Technique entered the realms of the true Wind Teleportation, Mo Wuji reached the desert in less than a month. It was the same desert he parted with Ku Cai previously. In this month, Mo Wuji managed to recover half of his injuries with the help of the Breath of Hongmeng as well as the vitality channel. At least on the outside, Mo Wuji didn''t have exposed bones and bloody flesh all around his body. Because his arm was blasted off, its recovery was slightly slower. The newly incubated God Domain Nest was already opened for almost a year so this place would no longer have anyone around. Everyone who entered the God Domain Nest would have delved into the depths. Mo Wuji hurried into the desert. When he arrived at the place where he hid Ku Cai to cultivate, his expression changed drastically. The dark space was destroyed and that trace of dark type law was no longer there. There was also no sign of Ku Cai which proved that she should have left quite some time ago. The surrounding was in a mess and evidently, there was a massive war here. At the thought of how Ku Cai was only in the Nascent God Elementary Stage, Mo Wuji grew anxious and worried. After searching this big piece of land for a full five days and getting no replies from the messages he sent her, Mo Wuji gave up searching. He came to a realisation that he no longer had control over whether Ku Cai was still alive or not. Mo Wuji turned his body and sped out of this desert. He was heading towards the entrance of this newly incubated God Domain Nest. Chapter 932: God Domain’s Number One God King Chapter 932: God Domain¡¯s Number One God King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was hiding near the entrance of the newly incubated God Domain Nest for over half a month. Because of his new enlightenment on his Wind Escape Technique, Mo Wuji merged with the surrounding wind. It would be very tough to find him unless someone knew how he was hiding. Even so, Mo Wuji was helpless and frustrated. After waiting and concealing himself for almost half a month, there was still no way out. This was because the entrance of the God Domain Nest was a defensive array. No matter how strong his Wind Teleportation was, he needed to wait for someone to open the entrance. That was his only way to get out of here. As long as someone entered from the outside, or left from the inside, Mo Wuji would be able to escape. The newly incubated God Domain Nest was opened for almost one year. Those who were supposed to come in would have already entered. As for those leaving, hmm, who would want to leave after entering the newly incubated God Domain Nest? Mo Wuji was an exception. Even so, he could only wait helplessly for his opportunity to leave. Yet another half a month passed by. Just as Mo Wuji was getting exceedingly frustrated, a silhouette flashed by. It was a disciple of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. When Mo Wuji first saw this cultivator, his first instinct was to act fast and kill this person. At the instance he wanted to attack, Mo Wuji suddenly understood something. This was when he forcefully controlled himself to stop. The fact that a cultivator of the Phoenix Soul God Estate appeared here meant that he was heading out. Why did he want to head out? His only motive would be to report the incident to the people outside. After killing so many genius disciples of the two big sects, why wouldn''t they charge out to report this news? After entering the newly incubated God Domain Nest, one wouldn''t be able to communicate with the outside world. Leaving the defensive array of the newly incubated God Domain Nest was the only way to report the news. As for why he was one month slow, it was because Mo Wuji''s Wind Teleportation was truly too quick. It was so fast that he was one month ahead of this person who came to report the news. Indeed, this disciple took out a jade token to open the defensive array. Concurrently when this disciple opened the array, Mo Wuji disappeared along with the wind. The first thing the disciple did after leaving the array was to send out an urgent message talisman. He didn''t even notice Mo Wuji, who teleported away in the form of the wind. ¡­ God Domain Nest''s Tiandi Plaza, God King Hall. This was the venue where the God Kings of the God Domain Nest gathered to discuss issues. Under normal circumstances, having over 20 God Kings seated here was considered extraordinary. At this moment, the God King Hall held over 40 God Kings. Almost one-third of all the God Kings in the entire God Domain were here. Moreover, the head seat which had always been vacant was occupied by a middle age man. This middle age man had long hair and an extremely beautiful purple beard. Even though he wasn''t saying anything, all the God Kings seated here could feel his anger. Even God King Uncruel didn''t dare to say anything at this point in time. Everyone knew who this purple beard middle-aged man was. The number one God King out of the ten great God Kings, God King Blazing Heaven. God King Blazing Heaven was always in the Blazing Heaven Palace so he would seldom appear in the God Domain. It was definitely a rare sight to see him appear in the God Domain Nest like today. Usually, the Blazing Heaven Palace would only send extremely few disciples into the newly opened God Domain Nest. They wouldn''t participate in battles because he only sent a few disciples here. Therefore, every one of them had slots to enter the newly incubated God Domain nest. Rumours spread that God King Blazing Heaven was already in the Great Circle of the God King Stage. Besides God King Spirited Flame, no other God King would be able to execute more than three moves against God King Blazing Heaven. After a short while, God King Blazing Heaven finally spoke. "I am truly disappointed. Over the countless years in the God Domain, we could barely produce new God Kings. Now that Pang Jie finally became a God King, he was actually killed in the God Domain Nest. God King Salt Pavilion, God King Dark Bodhi and God King Yi Ming, I know the three of you were the ones who attacked so please explain yourself. Don''t bother repeating that b*llshit reason which you''ve said earlier because the three of you aren''t the only smart people in this world." God King Salt Pavilion, Dark Bodhi and Yi Ming all remained silent. They had no idea that God King Blazing Heaven would come out of his Blazing Heaven Palace because of Pang Jie. If they knew, they wouldn''t have been so reckless to kill Pang Jie. God King Blazing Heaven exclaimed. "Many years ago, I''ve said this before. We only have so little God Kings in the God Domain. Anyone who can advance into the God King Stage will become the mainstay of our God Domain. Even so, nobody listened to my words and even killed a God King publicly. Ai¡­ Maybe its because I am old and no one bothers about my words anymore¡­" Only a minute few who didn''t understand how God King Blazing Heaven was like as a person. Therefore, most of the God Kings were frightened when they heard his words. If God King Blazing Heaven was considered old, there would be no young God Kings in the God Domain. God King Uncruel sighed as he knew that he had to step up to say something. Otherwise, God King Salt Pavilion and co. would definitely be punished. "Let me say a few words then." God King Uncruel stood up. God King Uncruel was ranked number three out of the ten great God Kings. Now that he stood up to speak, God King Blazing Heaven would have to show some face to him too. "Fellow Dao Friends, Brother Blazing Heaven isn''t wrong in his claim to say that every God King in the God Domain is a valuable person. If everyone starts acting violently just because we have a few disputes with each other, our God Domain will eventually be ruined in our own hands. The killing of God King Pang Jie was undoubtedly a lack of consideration from Salt Pavilion and co." The first few sentences of God King Uncruel was to reaffirm the words of God King Blazing Heaven. After saying this, God King Uncruel clasped his fists towards God King Blazing Heaven. "The dead has already left us. Further punishing God Kings Salt Pavilion, Dark Bodhi and Yi Ming will only cause greater harm to our God Domain." God King Blazing Heaven sighed as he lifted his head to look at the sky. "Does everyone thinks that the constant incubation of the God Domain Nest is a good thing? The truth is that every time our God Domain Nest incubates, we''ll be one step closer to danger¡­" If he could, God King Blazing Heaven really wanted to kill God King Salt Pavilion and the two others. However, he was fully aware of the consequences of doing so. The few God Kings seated closer to the front hurried to question. "Brother Blazing Heaven, what do you mean?" God King Blazing Heaven shook his hand as he continued. "Everyone should continue to cultivate. Otherwise, we will all become chess pieces for others eventually. Therefore, I hope that from today onwards, there will no longer be any killings between God Kings of my God Domain. Salt Pavilion, Yi Ming and Dark Bodhi, the three of you have committed a grave mistake. If every God King in my God Domain acts selfishly like the three of you, my God King Domain will disappear at an even faster rate¡­" God King Blazing Heaven was about to warn these three people to not go against the Heavenly Mortal Sect anymore. However, the Heavenly Mortal Sect would have formed a deadly enmity with these two sects because of the death of God King Pang Jie. Leaving the Heavenly Mortal Sect alive would eventually invite endless conflicts. He might as well let the Heavenly Mortal Sect perish once and for all. This was so that he could prevent any further damage done to the God Domain. Just as God King Blazing Heaven thought of this, God King Salt Pavilion suddenly stood up¡­ "Salt Pavilion, hurry up and sit back down." God King Uncruel noticed the trace of anger in God King Salt Pavilion''s eyes so he hurried to reprimand him. God King Salt Pavilion clasped his fists to God King Uncruel before turning back to God King Blazing Heaven. "God King Blazing Heaven, I''ve just received news from the newly incubated God Domain Nest. 47 disciples of the Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect were slaughtered by a disciple of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. His name is Mo Wuji." Once he heard this news, even God King Dark Bodhi stood up anxiously. "Salt Pavilion, is that true?" "This matter is undoubtedly true as a lot of witnesses were present during that bloodied battle. My Phoenix Soul God Estate is only left with a Tang Wuzhen, who is also severely injured. Your Nine Evolutions God Sect is only left with a Nascent God disciple, who had his spirit channels destroyed¡­" The words of God King Salt Pavilion had God King Dark Bodhi''s eyes turned red. The newly incubated God Domain Nest should be the least dangerous secret realm with the greatest pool of resources. Almost all the disciples sent into a secret realm like this were peak grade geniuses of each sect. Even peak grade sects like the Phoenix Soul God Estate and the Nine Evolutions God Sect didn''t have many slots to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Mo Wuji''s lone effort to kill tens of them was definitely a huge loss to the sects. "Are you saying that Mo Wuji of the Heavenly Mortal Sect manage to kill over 45 genius disciples all by himself? What is the cultivation level of that Mo Wuji?" A shocked God King Blazing Heaven questioned. "Mo Wuji should only be in the Nascent God Level 9 but his Heavenly Mortal Technique is very concealed." God King Salt Pavilion answered because he always believed that Mo Wuji was in the Nascent God Stage Level 9. "Out of the 47 people that he killed, were there any Heavenly Gods?" God King Blazing Heaven grew even more astonished because just how strong was this Mo Wuji? God King Salt Pavilion continued to answer, "According to the news that I''ve received, there were five Heavenly Gods there. That Mo Wuji was exceedingly cunning as he used some secret technique to kill the five Heavenly Gods first. Following that, he fought with his life at stake to kill the 42 other disciples." God King Blazing Heaven''s heart was in a perilous situation. Even when he was in the Nascent God Level 9, he wouldn''t be able to kill off five Heavenly God Stage experts and 42 Nascent Gods who encircled him. "God King Blazing Heaven, I wish to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest to capture this Mo Wuji. If we continue to let him stay in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, my Phoenix Soul God Estate might suffer greater losses." God King Salt Pavilion forcefully controlled his urge to kill as he spoke nicely. The rule to only allow Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest was also agreed upon by the ten great God Kings. God King Blazing Heaven pondered for a moment before speaking. "Permission granted and I shall also enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest to take a look. Also, whoever finds Mo Wuji, must not do anything to him before I take a look at him." "Yes!" Even though God King Salt Pavilion and God King Dark Bodhi were helpless and frustrated, they had to agree. God King Blazing Heaven was simply too strong for even the combined efforts of the other ten great God Kings. ¡­ Mo Wuji didn''t know that the number one God King of the God Domain wanted to see him. Presently, he was already far away from the newly incubated God Domain Nest. During this period of time, he never stopped to rest. If he wasn''t healing his injuries, he would be teleporting with the wind. He wanted to leave the God Domain Nest as soon as possible. However, this place was simply too massive. Despite his continual Wind Teleportation, all he saw was still a piece of desolate land in front of him. Chapter 933: Primal God Lattice Chapter 933: Primal God Lattice Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations While travelling within the God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji met countless strong demonic beasts on the way. As he met them, he continued to use his Wind Teleportation to get out of the way over and over again. After four months, he finally walked out of the God Domain Nest. After leaving the God Domain Nest, his wounds were almost completely healed. Even so, he wasn''t very happy about it. Through these months, Mo Wuji didn''t neglect about increasing his cultivation while being on the run. After four months, his cultivation didn''t improve at all. The only exception was his slightly more condensed god energy. One must know that his Immortal Mortal Technique could be used to cultivate any time and anywhere. This was as long as his 108 meridians come together to form a massive spiritual circulation. According to Mo Wuji''s plan, it shouldn''t be a problem for him to step into the Nascent God Intermediate Stage Level 3 if not Level 4 in half a year. However, imagination and reality were simply too far apart. Even after numerous months, he remained stagnant in the Nascent God Elementary Stage Level 3. After leaving the God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji stopped cultivating. Before finding the reason, any further cultivation would only be a waste of time. He would definitely not be happy if he needed hundreds or thousands of years just to advance one level. After yet another month, Mo Wuji disguised into a rogue cultivator with a short beard and wrinkled face. He walked into one of the open-air city square. The God Domain was vast and boundless. Even after leaving the God Domain Nest for over a month, the city square he was in was still called the Near Nest City Square. This was a city square near the God Domain Nest. There were not a lot of people in the city square. However, Mo Wuji was satisfied with what he saw before entering the city square. He noticed a signboard about transfers outside the city square. This meant that this city square had transfer arrays which could lead him elsewhere. To Mo Wuji, the God Domain was simply too vast. It might even take years of continual Wind Teleportation for him to get out of the God Domain completely. If he were to take that many years, the God Kings experts might have already started their search for him. Mo Wuji had a strong sensing that he should leave the periphery of the God Domain Nest as soon as possible. ¡­ In the newly incubated God Domain Nest, all the ten great God Kings led by God King Blazing Heaven stood where Mo Wuji previously fought. Multiple water crystal balls were already put in place where Mo Wuji fought with the other cultivators. These water crystal balls were left behind by the spectators who recorded the fight involving Mo Wuji. The content of these water crystal balls was looked through numerous times by God King Blazing Heaven. Presently, he was checking the battleground for remnants dao spirituality. Other than these God Kings, there were tens of disciples waiting on the outside. A majority of these disciples were cultivators who witnessed Mo Wuji''s fight. After two hours, God King Blazing Heaven stood up with a very stern face. This was before his eyes swept through the crowd of people. "Lin Feng of the Forgotten Creek Dao School was right. This person was only in the Nascent God Stage Level 3. Moreover¡­" God King Uncruel frowned as he commented. "Nascent God Stage Level 3? He could survive the encirclement of 44 Nascent God disciples and 5 Heavenly God disciples? Killing 47 of them, wasted one''s cultivation and severely injure another? This¡­" He checked the battle scene too but was limited in his judgement. He wasn''t as observant as God King Blazing Heaven. God King Blazing Heaven sighed and exclaimed. "This isn''t the main point because there were cultivators as heaven-denying as him previously in the God Domain. The more terrifying issue is that even I cannot discern the laws of his sacred arts. If I''m not wrong, his sacred arts should have been deduced and condensed with his own Grand Dao¡­" "This is not possible¡­" A few God Kings cried out simultaneously. Deduced and condensed from one''s own Grand Dao was something even God Kings found it hard to do. It might be possible for people who had surpassed the God King Stage. Even the laws of the sacred arts of God Kings should be formed according to the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Regardless of who it was, their sacred arts should have been based on their insights on the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Sacred arts deduced from one''s own Grand Dao, what does this mean? Others might not know but those experts in the God King Stage were fully aware. This was only possible for those who have surpassed the God King Stage. That''s right, the strongest expert in the God Domain was only in the God King Stage. The God Domain might not have an existence greater than a God King. However, it didn''t mean that there were no such experts in the entire universe. Rumours spread that there were experts who were much more powerful than God Kings. They didn''t appear in the God Domain because the God Domain was unable to produce such experts. God King Blazing Heaven continued to shake his head. "What''s even more frightening than that was that I am unable to sense the energy of his dao spirituality or his primordial spirit. If he wasn''t a problem for us, I would even say that he was a mortal or a cultivator with incredibly poor spiritual roots¡­" Every single God King standing around suddenly grew exceptionally gloomy. A mortal without any primordial spirit actually managed to cultivate to reach the Nascent God Stage Level 3? A mortal would actually survive the encirclement of at least 45 experts much stronger than him? Killing a majority of them and even escaped easily? "Could he be an alien cultivator?" A question popped up abruptly. Even though nobody agreed verbally, it was clear that many of them felt that this was a good possibility. God King Blazing Heaven shook his head again. "No, he is not an alien cultivator because alien cultivators cultivate the dark type laws. From his sacred arts, there seemed to be a trace of dark type laws but it contained more of the other energies. Moreover, alien cultivator possessed spiritual roots too." "The Heavenly Mortal Sect usually recruits and nurture those with poor spiritual roots. As a disciple of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he¡­" God King Uncruel wanted to explain but even he couldn''t seem to convince himself. "The Heavenly Mortal Sect often claim that they didn''t mind disciples with poor spiritual roots. Even so, they still recruit people with spiritual roots. Naturally, they will also wish to recruit more disciples of greater aptitude." "This person is vicious, ruthless and extraordinarily strong. Once he continues to grow even stronger, it wouldn''t mean anything good for us." "Previously, someone mentioned that disciple Qu You of the Forgotten Creek Dao School rescued him? Is Qu You here?" God King Blazing Heaven suddenly questioned the crowd. A man with a full face beard stood up as he clasped his fists. "Qu You received the message from her sect and is on her way here now." This man with a full face beard was the God King Scoured Sea of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. He was ranked number 4 among the ten great God Kings. The Forgotten Creek Dao School had their reputation today mainly because of the prestige God King Scoured Sea had. God King Yi Ming commented with a stern face. "Qu You was after all, still a disciple of the peak grade sect in the God Domain. She actually helped a violent devil who slaughtered so many of our disciples to get away? If we don''t punish such a disciple, how can our God Domain unite together?" Hearing these words, God King Scoured Sea was fuming. He was one of the ten great God King and Yi Ming was merely in the God King Stage Level 4. Even so, he dared speak in this manner in front of him. "Yi Ming, you don''t have the rights to tell me how I should deal with disciples of my Forgotten Creek Dao School." God King Yi Ming replied faintly. "I naturally do not need to tell you what to do. However, this matter isn''t something for your Forgotten Creek Dao School to settle alone." God King Scoured Sea chuckled. "Who doesn''t know of the despicable acts few of you did? Behaviour only a vile and contemptible person would display." "Qu You is here." Just as God King Yi Ming was about to speak, someone interrupted their argument. Disciple Qu You of the Forgotten Creek Dao School had already hurried over. She hurried to bow towards God King Scoured Sea as she arrived. "Qu You greets Ancestor." "You¡­" God King Scoured Sea looked surprisingly at Qu You as he spoke with a trembling voice. "You''ve condensed¡­" He didn''t continue speaking as every God King here stared shockingly at Qu You. Even God King Blazing Heaven had his mouth wide opened as he looked in disbelief. Qu You just condensed her god lattice. Because she just condensed it, her god lattice still contained some purple dao spirituality. A boundless energy of the Heaven and Earth was still surrounding her. Cultivators of the lower ranks might not notice it but all the God Kings could see. Qu You condensed her god lattice and it was the Primal God Lattice. "God lattice, Primal God Lattice¡­" Another God King pointed at Qu You as he exclaimed with a trembling voice. Surprise, envy, jealous¡­ All the different expressions were displayed across all the God Kings gathered there. Even God King Blazing Heaven couldn''t help but to look at Qu You anxiously. The Primal God Lattice was something that only existed in the legends. Today, someone right in front of them actually managed to condense it. "Qu You, do you know where did Mo Wuji go?" God King Scoured Sea took the initiative to question Qu You in front of everyone. Even if Qu You didn''t condense her god lattice, God King Scoured Sea wouldn''t let any other God King question her. He only wished for Qu You to answer the question swiftly. Afterwards, he wanted them to head back to their sect as soon as possible. Qu You shook her head. "I do not know. Back then, I really did bump into him here. Because he saved my life once, I gave him some healing pills in return. After separating, I no longer know where he went." "You are lying! I clearly saw how you escape while carrying Mo Wuji." Yan Neng stepped in to interrupt. Qu You glared coldly at Yan Neng. "I am the core disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School and you dare injure me with a poisonous arrow. It almost caused me to lose my life and I''ve yet to find you for that." Qu You, who condensed her god lattice, spoke with great confidence and arrogance. So what if Yan Neng was in the Heavenly God Stage Level 5? "God King Blazing Heaven, Qu You''s obtaining of the Primal God Lattice may be related to Mo Wuji. I suggest that we interrogate Qu You alone to find out about the whereabouts of Mo Wuji." God King Salt Pavilion''s spoke. Even he was curious about Qu You''s Primal God Lattice. Qu You just condensed her god lattice so it might still be possible to strip it off her. The pity was that she was from the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Otherwise, he might have already done it himself. "Haha Salt Pavilion, I dare your Phoenix Soul God Estate to try. I do want to see if my Forgotten Creek Dao School can exterminate your entire Phoenix Soul God Estate too. The incident of your Heavenly God disciple ambushing my disciple in the dark was not accounted for too." God King Scoured Sea might be chuckling away but his face was filled with killing intent. There was not a single trace of a smile. God King Yi Ming and Nine Evolutions God Sect''s God King Dark Bodhi spoke concurrently. "Your Forgotten Creek Dao School might be strong. However, your Forgotten Creek Dao School cannot exterminate whoever you wish to exterminate just like that. If all the peak grade sects in the God Domain act so wildly, our God Domain would have already collapsed." "You shameless fools, wasn''t God King Pang Jie murdered by the few of you? All for your own selfish interests and you think others have no idea?" God King Scoured Sea was not in the least afraid of the pressure from these three God Kings. Chapter 934: Troubles Chapter 934: Troubles Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations God King Uncruel commented, "Brother Scoured Sea, Salt Pavilion is merely concern for the God Domain. This explains his harsh tone. In fact, he didn''t mean anything malicious." God King Scoured Sea''s face turned serious because he knew God King Uncruel was Salt Pavilion''s backer. If it wasn''t for God King Uncruel, he would have given a mere Salt Pavilion a tight slap for speaking to him in that manner. God King was ranked number three out of the ten great God Kings which was slightly higher than him. God King Uncruel might appear fair and would even reprimand God King Salt Pavilion and co. at times. However, he had also ordered people to help him do the dirty jobs underground. God King Blazing Heaven frowned slightly. This was because the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Nine God Evolutions Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate were all peak grade sects. He cannot afford to have them fight against each other. He simply shook his hand and said. "There''s no need for everyone to argue over this. I suggest that we shall open up the entire newly incubated God Domain Nest to look for Mo Wuji simultaneously. Also, inform all the city squares near the God Domain Nest to restrain people from taking the transfer arrays¡­" He didn''t believe Mo Wuji could leave the God Domain Nest so quickly. Even so, he wanted to make sure that Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to leave even if he did manage. "Brother Blazing Heaven, did you just mention Mo Wuji? Which Mo Wuji is it?" A voice interjected God King Blazing Heaven''s orders. It was God King Lone Cauldron, ranked number nine out of the ten great God Kings, who had just arrived. Because he had left the God Domain Nest, he wasn''t aware of the Mo Wuji''s incident. He hurried into the God Domain Nest when he heard that God Kings were finally allowed in. When he just arrived, he heard a familiar name. While God King Lone Cauldron was still speaking, he saw the recording of Mo Wuji''s fight from the water crystal ball. At the sight of the recording, he became all emotional. He was desperate to find Mo Wuji before anyone did. Previously, he still thought that Mo Wuji was in the Immortal World. Hence, he had never expected to see Mo Wuji appear here in the God World. "Brother Lone Cauldron, you know him?" God King Uncruel asked when he noticed God King Lone Cauldron''s expression. God King Lone Cauldron grew anxious as he replied. "Yes, this person killed my son, Zhen''Er. I cannot wait to swallow his flesh. Fellow Dao Friends, please let me know where Mo Wuji is. I, Lone Cauldron, will definitely show my gratitude for any clue of his location." God King Lone Cauldron was merely using this perfect excuse to give him a good reason to capture Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had at least two forms of heavenly fate with him. If he could capture Mo Wuji, he believed that his future wouldn''t be any dimmer than God King Blazing Heaven. One must know that he was already part of the ten great God King. This was even though he was merely in the God King Stage Level 6. Mo Wuji had many other secrets on him so he must not let that fall into the hands of any other God King. Lone Cauldron knew that if he had to convince others that his son was killed by Mo Wuji, he had to appear even angrier. "Zhen''Er got into trouble?" A few of the surprised God Kings, who were on closer terms with God King Cauldron, sounded out. Yu Zhen''Er was one of the peak grade talents of the God Domain. It was certainly not a small matter if he was killed by Mo Wuji. If it was previously, nobody would believe that Mo Wuji could kill Yu Zhen''Er, who was already half a step into the God Monarch Stage. Currently, nobody suspected that God King Lone Cauldron might be lying. ¡­ Mo Wuji had no idea that right after he just left the Near Nest City Square, the Near Nest City Square''s transfer arrays had been restricted. If he was any later, he might be forced to be checked by others. If he refused to state where he came from, he might even be detained there. After leaving the God Domain Nest, Mo Wuji didn''t slow down at all. He continued to travel through all the different transfer arrays. It was already three years since Mo Wuji left the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Throughout these three years, there was not a single change to his cultivation level. He remained stagnant at Nascent God Stage Level 3. The only improvement was that he could finally install grade 3 god arrays and even touched the brim of grade 4. Mo Wuji constantly kept himself updated on the news about the Nirvana Ocean as well as the Heavenly Mortal Sect. No matter where or who he asked for the news of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, the answer was unanimous. The Mortal Sect was razed. As for the Nirvana Ocean, many people knew about it but none of them went there. This was because there was no sort of god spiritual energy around the Nirvana Ocean. It would even absorb one''s life force. With nothing beneficial there, who would be foolish enough to head there? Even so, Mo Wuji didn''t mind because he had already got himself a map. This map would lead him to the Nirvana Ocean. He didn''t head there yet because he had yet to find out when the Clear Ocean Path would appear. Today, Mo Wuji arrived at the Thousand Swords City and it was Mo Wuji''s first ever visit here. Even so, Mo Wuji wasn''t all too unfamiliar with this city. The Thousand Swords City Estate belonged to the School of Sword Law. Back when Ancestor Pang Jie held his God King Ritual, Mo Wuji had even hosted School of Sword Law''s Sect Head Zhuang Yingnan. The pity was that Ancestor Pang Jie only just stepped into the God King Stage and was assassinated by others. He didn''t even have a God King title of his own. Mo Wuji sighed as he finished the cup of low grade immortal tea in his hands before standing up. His intention was to head to the Thousand Swords City''s Assignment Hall. Finding out about when the Clear Ocean Path of the Nirvana Ocean would emerge was his utmost priority. Just as he got on his feets, the conversation of a few cultivators made him sit back down. "... I''ve met her once. Not only was she the number one beauty of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, she was also ranked number two in terms of looks in the entire God Domain. Additionally, she was the core disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School so why do you think she was so foolish? To think that she would help an alien cultivator?" "Ahah, don''t just say what everyone else says. Qu You was only punished by the sect because she condensed the Primal God Lattice¡­" "Ah¡­ Are you dreaming? Primal God Lattice? Why would someone who condensed a Primal God Lattice get punished?" "I''m not lying to you but we shouldn''t discuss this matter in such details. If rogue cultivators like us are to offend big sects like the Forgotten Creek Dao School, it will not do us any good." The few of them changed their topic of conversation just like that. Mo Wuji was fuming in his heart. He gave Qu You the Primal God Lattice Crystal to help her. After all, he was worried that Qu You might get into trouble with the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate after helping him. He didn''t expect that Qu You would be implicated by the Primal God Lattice Crystal. "Dao Friends here, young brother heard from the few of you that Fairy Qu You had been punished?" Mo Wuji walked over to the group of cultivators with a clasped fist. At this point in time, there was an anxious look in his eyes. "Who are you?" The few of them stared warily at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hurried to reply. "Even though I am only a rogue cultivator, I''ve admired Fairy Qu You for many years now. Back then, I''ve only seen Fairy Qu You once and I could no longer forget her looks. Therefore, when I heard that Fairy Qu You got into trouble, I really want to suffer the brute of the punishment in place of her." The anxious look was faked out by Mo Wuji. However, when he heard that Qu You got into trouble, he was indeed guilty and furious. Just like what the other cultivator mentioned, Qu You condensing of the Primal God Lattice should make her a figure the sect would want to protect. So why would she be punished? The few cultivators looked lost. Even though Qu You had countless admirers, not everyone was as devoted and crazy as Mo Wuji appeared to be. Despite understanding how Mo Wuji felt, no one was willing to speak. They could chat about this topic casually with each other but telling it to a stranger was a completely different matter. Mo Wuji waved to the attendant of the hall as he ordered. "Bring four pots of Black Fog God Spiritual Wine." The Black Fog God Spiritual Wine might not be the best god spiritual wine around but it was definitely considered decent. Mo Wuji felt that such a wine would be perfect for hosting these cultivators. "Roger that!" The attendant instantly appeared with four pots of wine in front of Mo Wuji. Just these four pots of wine cost Mo Wuji one hundred high grade god crystals. "Fellow Dao Friends, small brother here is also a rogue cultivator and I am embarrassingly short of money. Hence, I can''t afford too good a wine for the few of you so I hope this will do." Mo Wuji hurried to hand each of them one pot of wine each. The few Nascent God Stage cultivators looked at Mo Wuji with bright eyes. This Black Fog God Spiritual Wine would actually cost about 25 high grade god crystals each. As a rogue cultivator, they wouldn''t be as wealthy as those disciples of the big sects. 25 high grade god crystals weren''t considered little. It was merely in exchange for news which almost everyone knew so they didn''t have much to lose. The yellow robe cultivator, who was speaking earlier, clasped his fists. "Dao Friend is straightforward so I, Pan Mo, thank you. Actually, this news isn''t much news because a lot of people are aware of it." As the yellow robed man named Pan Mo spoke, the cultivator beside him put up a restriction. Pan Mo lowered his voice and said, "I''ve heard that a heaven-defying Nascent God cultivator appeared in the newly incubated God Domain Nest. His name is Mo Wuji. That Mo Wuji is so powerful and that his spiritual roots are of the peak grade. Rumours spread that he might be an alien cultivator. While in the God Domain Nest, he killed hundreds of genius disciples of the various big sects. Eventually, that angered the God Kings of those sects. The senior God Kings have all entered the newly incubated God Domain Nest to capture that Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji was dazed because since when did he kill over hundreds of genius disciples? And his spiritual roots were of the peak grade? Pan Mo didn''t notice Mo Wuji''s expression as he continued. "I have no idea what happen but Fairy Qu You of the Forgotten Creek Dao School¡­ Of course, you should know about Fairy Qu You. She actually stepped out to rescue Mo Wuji which angered the various God Kings of the big sects¡­" "That shouldn''t be a problem for her right? I''ve heard that the Forgotten Creek Dao School have two God Kings." Mo Wuji frowned as he asked. Pan Mo chuckled, "The Forgotten Creek Dao School is actually a peak grade god sect. Not only do they have two God Kings, God King Scoured Sea is actually ranked number four out of the ten great God Kings. That Qu You was really fortunate because rescuing Mo Wuji was one issue. However, she actually obtains a Primal God Lattice Crystal and successfully condenses her god lattice. God King Scoured Sea was elated to see the condensed Primal God Lattice and he quickly brought her back to the sect. However, this is where the problem lies¡­" "How?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. Pan Mo moved closer to Mo Wuji to whisper, "God King Scoured Sea was too happy that when he went back to cultivate in seclusion. During that point in time, he actually went haywire and got too obsessed with his cultivation. Following that, God Kings of the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate came to the Forgotten Creek Dao School. The other God King of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, God King Guiding Wood, raged furiously. This was after finding out that Qu You helped that alien cultivator Mo Wuji. He instantly ripped Fairy Qu You off her god lattice and if it wasn''t for her master, Fairy Qu You would have been dead." "How is Fairy Qu You now?" Mo Wuji''s heart turned solemn as he started to regret handing Qu You the Primal God Lattice Crystal. Not only did this item not help her, it even invited troubles for her. Chapter 935: Beyond God King Chapter 935: Beyond God King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "I''ve heard that after Fairy Qu You was stripped of her god lattice, she was tied outside the sect to endure strong wind and heavy rain. She had to face a wall to examine her own conscience." Pan Mo sighed as he took a sip of the Black Fog God Spiritual Wine. The enraged Mo Wuji''s heart was burning in more anger. If he was capable enough, he couldn''t wait to slap the entire Forgotten Creek Dao School into ruins. "Many thanks Dao Friends for telling me all of these¡­" There was no longer a need for Mo Wuji to fake his emotions any further. He was indeed slightly absent-minded after hearing this. He was an emotional person and Qu You helped him tremendously before. If it wasn''t for Qu You, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have been alive anymore. Not only was Mo Wuji unable to repay this huge favour, he even cause Qu You to suffer so badly. How could he be at peace with this? Noticing Mo Wuji''s absent-mindedness, Pan Mo patted Mo Wuji on his shoulder as if he could understand how Mo Wuji felt. ¡­ Mo Wuji only had one thing in his mind and that was to rescue Qu You. However, he was only in the Nascent God Stage Level 3 so how was he supposed to do that? A thought like this merely flashed through his mind. This same thought was tossed to the side of his mind very soon after. He could still forgive himself if he didn''t know that Qu You was in trouble. Now that he was aware, he would forever not be at peace with himself unless he went to save her. With his current level of strength, it was impossible for him to rescue Qu You directly. He needed to think of another way... Mo Wuji left the resthouse while worrying about Qu You. As the cold wind blew over, Mo Wuji quivered subconsciously. His anger from the thought of Qu You being hurt was soon relieved as he regained his composure. Regardless of whether or not he would choose to rescue Qu You, he mustn''t make a decision with a state of mind like this. Once his mind cleared up, Mo Wuji realised that the words of Pan Mo earlier seemed slightly problematic. In fact, there were already problems with the words of this Pan Mo. He mentioned that Mo Wuji killed hundreds of genius disciples from many different sects. This was pure nonsense. He only killed 47 people and they were all disciples from only the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. He certainly didn''t kill over hundreds of people. Pan Mo would mention hundreds of people only because he had heard of this news from others too. The words that spread from others would have travelled from people to people. Therefore, the rumours would undoubtedly deviate from the truth. Since Pan Mo''s news of him in the newly incubated God Domain Nest was incorrect, it was possible that the other information he provided might be false too. Moreover, Mo Wuji''s understanding was that the Forgotten Dao Creek School had two God Kings. One of them was God King Scoured Sea and the other was God King Guiding Wood. In fact, God King Scoured Sea was even one of the ten great God Kings. For one of the ten great God Kings to go down the wrong cultivation path so abruptly, something seemed slightly odd. According to Pan Mo''s information, it appeared possible that God King Scoured Sea was harmed by God King Guiding Wood. However, how could one of the ten great God Kings like God King Scoured Sea be harmed so easily by another ordinary God King? Does he really deserve the title of being part of the ten great God Kings then? If Pan Mo''s words were true, the motive would certainly be for the Primal God Lattice. It was highly likely that God King Guiding Wood colluded with God King Salt Pavilion and God King Dark Bodhi to ambush God King Scoured Sea. There was only one Primal God Lattice and even if they really succeeded in snatching it over, who would be the rightful owner of the Primal God Lattice? Furthermore, could the Primal God Lattice be removed once it was condensed? These were some of the few doubtful points but these were still not the most doubtful point. The greatest doubt Mo Wuji had was regarding Qu You''s master. According to Pan Mo''s news, Qu You wasn''t killed because her master stood out to rescue her. Here comes the problem: What rights does Qu You''s master have to rescue Qu You from the hands of God King Guiding Wood? Mo Wuji was well aware that the Forgotten Creek Dao School only had two God Kings. They were God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood. Even if her master was in the World God Stage Level 9, he shouldn''t be influential or powerful enough to rescue Qu You from God King Guiding Wood. The news of God King Guiding Wood removing Qu You''s god lattice would spread throughout every corner of the God Domain. Why would he not kill Qu You simply because of Qu You''s master? Furthermore, a God King would undoubtedly be mindful of his own reputation. The current situation was that a God King selfishly striped his sect''s core disciple''s Primal God Lattice which she obtained it herself. Even if this God King succeeded in condensing the Primal God Lattice, his reputation would go down the hill. Therefore, even if Pan Mo''s words were true, these matters wouldn''t have spread to every street of the God Domain. Because of these doubtful points, Mo Wuji decided to find out more from elsewhere. ¡­ A month later, Mo Wuji appeared at a small god resthouse near the Forgotten Creek Dao School. During the month of intense inquiring and probing, he visited a total of over ten cultivation cities, ten city squares as well as gathering areas. The news he obtained were not very different from that of Pan Mo''s. This meant that Pan Mo was not speaking blindly. Qu You''s god lattice was indeed striped off and it was also true that she was punished. He even obtained short clips of how Qu You was punished. In the clip, Qu You was tied up onto one of the stone pillar near the cliff of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Mo Wuji saw Qu You many times before and even carried her. He only needed one clip to confirm that the person being punished was Qu You. Mo Wuji clenched his fist tightly as his mind became clearer than ever. No matter what, he needed to rescue Qu You. To rescue Qu You, there were two things he needed to do. The first was to personally confirm that Qu You was tied onto that Punishment Cliff. The Punishment Cliff was the location where the Forgotten Creek Dao School punished their disciples. It was used to warn every disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School to not commit any wrongdoings. Punishments will be witnessed by everyone in the sect on the Punishment Cliff. Hence, confirming that Qu You was there shouldn''t be a huge problem. Secondly, it was how he was going to rescue Qu You. He, alone, would not be able to rescue Qu You. He needed to borrow external strength. ¡­ In the place where god spiritual energy was the densest in the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Qu You opened her eyes excitedly. In less than two years, she managed to advance from Heavenly God Stage Level 1 to Level 7. In terms of aptitude, she was indeed pretty decent but she wasn''t the greatest. There were far too many cultivators in the God Domain with much better spiritual roots than her. Even so, she had never heard of anyone advancing from Heavenly God Stage Level 1 to Heavenly God Stage Level 7 in less than two years. The main contributing factor was neither the dense god spiritual energy here nor her spiritual roots. It was the Primal God Lattice. After condensing her Primal God Lattice, Qu You fully understood how strong her own ability to perceive things was. She was able to gain insights the instant she captured the Laws of Heaven and Earth. She was also able to comprehend any sacred arts which she came into contact with. Qu You lifted her head to look at the space above her. A clear silhouette of a person appeared in her mind. More specifically, it was a person with a body full of blood and bones which were out of place. The person''s name was Mo Wuji. Previously, Qu You already found it hard to comprehend why Mo Wuji would gift her the Primal God Lattice Crystal. Now, she further understood how much more precious this Primal God Lattice was than she first imagined. And what had she helped him with? Save his life? Qu You shook her head. She would feel embarrassed and guilty if she were to tell others that she rescued Mo Wuji once. Mo Wuji actually rescued her twice before she reached out to help him once. She was guilty because when Mo Wuji was encircled, she didn''t step out to help. Or rather, she didn''t dare to help. Qu You thought of how Mo Wuji divided gratitude and grudges clearly. Just because the Heavenly Mortal Sect was ambushed by the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, Mo Wuji challenged 49 experts with cultivation levels higher than him. At that moment, she forgot to continue cultivating. In her memories and cognition, was there still anyone like Mo Wuji? The answer was an absolute no. At that instant, Qu You''s heart grew a sudden urge to see Mo Wuji again. It wasn''t admiration but an indescribable desire. She couldn''t cultivate anymore as she subconsciously prayed for Mo Wuji to be safe in the God Domain Nest. She wished that this man, who was the only one capable of leaving a mark in her heart, would remain safe and sound. It wasn''t only because of the Primal God Lattice. It was also because of his aggressiveness and resolve when he heard of the news of the Heavenly Mortal Sect. The courage to challenge 49 experts who were seemingly stronger than him. The will to not falter even when his entire body was filled with severe wounds. ¡­ Forgotten Creek Mountain. The Forgotten Creek Mountain was the number one god mountain in the Forgotten Creek Dao School. It was also where the sect''s hall was located at and where God King Scoured Sea cultivated. At the highest guest room of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, three men were seated in it. Among the three men, two of them were the two God Kings of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood. The third person was the number one God King in the God Domain, God King Blazing Heaven. God King Scoured Sea took a sip of the god spiritual tea before speaking. "Brother Blazing Heaven, your judgement this time is wrong. I suspect that Mo Wuji is still in the newly incubated God Domain Nest and has yet to leave." God King Blazing Heaven shook his head. "No, I''m certain that he had left that place. As for the reason, you will need to wait for Mo Wuji''s arrival to know that my judgement isn''t wrong." God King Guiding Wood questioned doubtfully. "Brother Blazing Heaven, so what if Mo Wuji is really in the Nascent God Stage? He wouldn''t come over even if he found out that Qu You got into trouble right?" God King Blazing Heaven smiled. "I fully understand a person like him. If he knows what happen to Qu You, he will definitely come." "Why?" God King Guiding Wood was still slightly lost. Why would someone send himself to death? "If you haven''t condense your god lattice, will you casually gift someone a Primal God Lattice Crystal?" God King Blazing Heaven asked. God King Guiding Wood shook his head without hesitation. Even if it was to repay a life-saving grace, he wouldn''t do that. In fact, even if he condensed his god lattice, he still wouldn''t gift it away. "Yet Mo Wuji did exactly that. This is the character of a person like Mo Wuji, or rather, this is his temperament." God King Blazing Heaven explained. "If my guess is right, he should be exceedingly young, impetuous and stubborn. This kind of person has a unique temperament which we do not have." As he said that, God King Blazing Heaven sighed. "If it isn''t because I need to step out of the God King Stage, I really don''t wish to use such methods to find him." God King Scoured Sea stood up as he clasped his fists towards God King Blazing Heaven. "Brother Blazing Heaven, he was the one who gave Qu You her god lattice. Regardless of the case, I plead that you spare his life." God King Blazing Heaven said in a stern tone. "I will not kill him because I merely want to know how he did it. How a mortal like him can possess sacred arts with laws that only belong to him? How he can have no relations with the Laws of Heaven and Earth. If I can comprehend how, I will be able to advance past the God King Stage. This is the only way the God Domain can continue to exist. He is important to everyone in the God Domain, not just myself." Chapter 936: Preparation Chapter 936: Preparation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations God King Blazing Heaven and God King Scoured Sea fell silent after his reply. He knew that God King Blazing Heaven wouldn''t kill Mo Wuji. However, he also knew what would happen if Mo Wuji was really what God King Blazing Heaven said he was. Mo Wuji might really be a mortal who could cultivate to become a god and even condensed his own laws or world. If this was truly the case, Mo Wuji would be equivalent to being dead. Because God King Blazing Heaven would definitely pry into every part of Mo Wuji. This included his sea of consciousness and source of cultivation. The main point was that God King Blazing Heaven would reverse engineer Mo Wuji''s secret cultivation success. When God King Blazing Heaven found out about his secret, even if Mo Wuji was alive, he would be living like an idiot. God King Blazing Heaven lost his mood to speak further. If possible, he really didn''t wish to touch a person like Mo Wuji. However, throughout the countless years, nobody in the God Domain was able to condense their own laws. Everyone needed to rely on the Heaven and Earth. This was also the reason why nobody in the entire God Domain managed to advance beyond the God King Stage. Even so, God King Blazing Heaven was certain that there were way too many experts, within the entire universe, who were stronger than God Kings. The God Domain Nest was constantly being incubated through the years. Eventually, it would end up on the border of some other world domain. Once that happened, all lives in the God Domain would belong to others. God King Blazing Heaven was willing to die if could allow experts here to advance past the God King Stage. In other words, he wouldn''t mind being dead. This was if it would mean that Mo Wuji would be able to find the secret to the breakthrough to the Unity God Stage. ¡­ The FIve Oceans God Palace was a high grade sect in the God Domain. Because the sect didn''t have any God King, they were not considered a peak grade sect. The Nine Evolutions God Sect and Forgotten Creek Dao School were examples of peak grade sect. Truth be told, the Five Oceans God Palace was renowned not because it was a high grade sect. It was the jurisdiction of the Five Oceans God City within the Five Oceans God Palace. Normally, those who could address themselves as god cities in the God Domain would be quite huge in scale. Not only was the Five Oceans God Palace massive, even the god cities of some peak grade sects was far behind the Five Oceans God City in terms of its majesty. In the entire God Domain, the Five Oceans God City could be considered to be in the top ten. Mo Wuji stayed in the Five Oceans God City for three days. During the three days, he learnt a lot. He learnt that the biggest merchant house in the Five Oceans God City was the Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House. In fact, the Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House didn''t only exist in the Five Oceans God City. It was branched out to every big city of the God Domain. The Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House in the Five Oceans God City was considered the headquarters. Mo Wuji was well aware of the dangers of going to the Forgotten Creek Dao School without a God King to watch over him. It was simply sending himself to death. Before he found enough manpower to ensure that he could retreat anytime he wished, he wouldn''t charge into the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Presently, he came to the Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House in search of methods to rescue and escape. His Wind Escape Technique was indeed very strong enough to deal with ordinary cultivators. Even so, Mo Wuji was not that arrogant to think that he could escape from the hands of God Kings. The Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House Headquarters had a total of six levels. Every level was luxuriously constructed and incredibly spacious. The moment Mo Wuji walked into the first level, he could feel the impressive aura within the building. He felt like he returned to Earth and just stepped into the lobby of the best stars hotel. There were at least a thousand people in the Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House''s lobby. Even so, it didn''t appear very packed. Most of the items on sale on the first level''s lobby were pills, magic treasures, techniques and etc. It was mainly for Nascent God and Heavenly God experts. Mo Wuji''s main intention here was to look at magic treasures for one-time use. He knew that if he wanted to head towards the Forgotten Creek Dao School, he needed a few of these one-time use magic treasures. After looking around half the place, Mo Wuji was praising the items sold here in his heart. There were a wide variety of items here and the quality was all incomparable to other places. In this short period, Mo Wuji also realised how poor he truly was. He did make a bit of fortune from Senior Brother Death. That little bit of fortune was merely a few god crystals. In total, he had about 10,000 high grade, 70,000 intermediate grade and over 300,000 low grade god crystals. Previously, Mo Wuji thought that he was considered wealthy. Among the rogue cultivators which he encountered over the years, he rarely saw anyone taking out over 10,000 high grade god crystals. However, after walking around this place, Mo Wuji''s heart had turned completely cold. A low grade commonly seen god equipment would already cost about 10,000 intermediate god crystals. The better quality low grade god equipment would be priced at about 30,000 intermediate god crystals. The even better ones would be sold for around 50,000 to 100,000 intermediate god crystals. There were also low grade god equipment going on sale at a few thousand intermediate god crystals. However, Mo Wuji felt that these items were simply too inferior. On the first level, Mo Wuji didn''t spot any intermediate grade god equipment. Mo Wuji''s guess was that he wouldn''t be able to afford even the most inferior intermediate god grade equipment here. Mo Wuji also had a pile of equipment which he forged himself. However, Mo Wuji was also aware that while the attacks of his equipment were of decent powers, it wouldn''t fetch a high amount if he took it out to sell. Every one of his items was also not pleasing to the eye so he could only save and keep it for his own use. After walking further, Mo Wuji finally spotted a few one time use magic treasure. It was an Explosive Void Elemental Bead which cost 6000 intermediate god crystals. Burning Spiritual Arrow was priced at about 9000 intermediate god crystals. Grade one magic treasures for one time use would at most be useful against elementary Heavenly God Stage experts. Even so, it wouldn''t be a fatal attack. Mo Wuji shook his head as it doesn''t seem realistic for him to buy a few magic treasures for one time use. A mere low grade god equipment would already cost him close to 10,000 intermediate god crystals. If he wanted a slightly higher grade magic treasure, even his entire fortune might not be of the same figure as the price of it. "Dao Friend wants to purchase the Burning Spiritual Arrow? My Burning Spiritual Arrow was forged by the disciple of Master Thousand Blades. It would definitely be worth the price." An attendant saw that Mo Wuji had been standing there for a while so he took the initiative to introduce his item. Mo Wuji chuckled, "This Burning Spiritual Arrow seems too burdensome to use. I think I''ll pass." Mo Wuji was well aware of the Burning Spiritual Arrow. He knew that it was slightly complicated to use yet the power of the magic treasure was only average. "Dao Friend could purchase the talismans for one time use if you''re not interested in the Burning Spiritual Arrow. My Exploding Lock God Talisman could lock onto your opponent and explode by itself. It only costs 16,000 intermediate god crystals." The attendant pointed enthusiastically to the talisman by the side. "A talisman actually cost the same as a low grade god equipment? How expensive!" Mo Wuji commented subconsciously. The attendant laughed it off. "It is not expensive because all my talismans here were forged by legacy disciples of the Talisman Race. The price might be slightly higher than other places but its power and grade are far more superior than the other similar talismans." Mo Wuji''s heart moved as he followed to ask. "Talisman Race? I''ve heard of that and I''ve also heard about their Sage Dao Talisman. I''ve heard of how incredibly strong that Sage Dao Talisman was." Presently, Mo Wuji was still unable to forge a grade one talisman. He possessed the Sage Dao Talisman which was why he wanted to find out more about it. However, ever since he obtained that Sage Dao Talisman, he didn''t have the chance to learn more about it. Without the need for that attendant to speak, a cultivator standing beside Mo Wuji interjected. "Who doesn''t know about the Sage Dao Talisman? The Sage Dao Talisman is a Xiantian treasure. However, I''ve heard that the Talisman Race lost the Sage Dao Talisman for a long time now." Mo Wuji revealed an interested expression. "I''ve heard from others than the Sage Dao Talisman could even be used to derive other talismans. I really wonder how strong the talismans derived from the Sage Dao Talisman would be." The attendant chuckled. "Dao Friend, every talisman derived from the Sage Dao Talisman is a supreme treasure. We shan''t think too much about it." Mo Wuji also let out an awkward smile as he scratched his head. "If I could obtain the Sage Dao Talisman, I will definitely produce talismans using the Sage Dao Talisman so I could sell them. I would only need to sell a few and I''ll no longer need to look for any more missions. I''ll no longer need to fight so hard just for pitiful god crystals anymore." Mo Wuji was always wondering why he didn''t manage to obtain a single talisman ever since he got the Sage Dao Talisman. Previously, Fu Xiuhan specifically mentioned how one could obtain talismans from it. The truth was that he really did see all sorts of talismans ever since he entered the Sage Dao Talisman. However, the warped space within the Sage Dao Talisman was simply too powerful which was why he failed to obtain any. After killing Fu Jiujiang and refining the first layer of restriction, Mo Wuji realised that there were no longer any talismans in there. "Ah, given your cultivation level, you will not be able to obtain any talismans even if you manage to obtain the Sage Dao Talisman." The cultivator beside Mo Wuji started laughing as he spoke. Because Mo Wuji didn''t have any spiritual roots, he managed to mimic his spirituality to make it seem that he was in the Nascent God Stage Level 3. This was the reason why the cultivator beside Mo Wuji would mock Mo Wuji for having such a low cultivation level. Mo Wuji didn''t mind as he followed to laugh. "I''m just saying because I know my cultivation level is indeed far too low." That cultivator explained, "I have no other intentions to mock you. Because rumours spread that the first layer of restriction of the Sage Dao Talisman is the entrance of the Sage Dao. Given your cultivation level, you will not be able to get any talismans even if you obtained the Sage Dao Talisman. Nascent God Stage experts will at most be able to refine the first layer of the Sage Dao Talisman." Mo Wuji''s heart jumped because he was far from being a Nascent God Stage expert when he refined the first layer. After that, he was so busy that he didn''t manage to refine it. Could it be that after refining the second layer, he would be able to obtain the talismans from within? Mo Wuji didn''t ask but that attendant helped him ask. "Could it be that one will be able to obtain talismans after refining the second layer?" That cultivator replied. "I''m not too sure about that. Logically speaking, even if refining the second layer doesn''t produce any talismans, one only need to continue refining. Eventually, one should be able to obtain the derived talismans. For magic treasures of such grade, I''ve only heard rumours of it so I''m not very sure of it too." Mo Wuji didn''t have the mood to continue wasting time here. He continued to chat for a few more before walking around a few more stalls. Soon after, he left the Ten Thousand Gods Merchant House. With his current wealth, it was an impossible dream for him to purchase any good items. The only way for him would be to refine the second layers of the Sage Dao Talisman. After which, he would see if he could really obtain the derived talismans from within. Once he exited the Five Oceans God City, Mo Wuji took out a low grade flying god treasure. He left in his fastest possible speed. The Sage Dao Talisman was a peak grade treasure. If he wanted to refine it, he must do it where there weren''t too many people around. Chapter 937: Plan Chapter 937: Plan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Many days later, Mo Wuji appeared on a desolate mountain range. Even though the god spiritual energy here was sparse, Mo Wuji wasn''t affected. His intention was to refine the Sage Dao Talisman in his Undying World. The density of god spiritual energy wouldn''t matter to him. Over the years, Mo Wuji''s cultivation level didn''t show any signs of improvement. However, the standards of his Array Dao improved drastically. At the very least, he could set up a Grade 3 god array easily. In fact, he would even be able to set up Grade 4 god arrays with a little more practice. With the use of low grade god crystals, Shuai Guo advanced into the pinnacle of Class 9. Da Huang completely merged with the Phecda Clay. He was only one step away from entering Nascent God Stage. The high grade god spiritual vein gifted by Qu You was placed in the centre of the Undying World. This was where he was going to cultivate. This high grade god spiritual vein was the most valuable item Mo Wuji had on him. This was why he decided to refine the Sage Dao Talisman on this spiritual vein. The Sage Dao Talisman was always locked in the Undying World ever since he obtained it. Back then when he refined the Sage Dao Talisman, he was merely in the Immortal Emperor Stage. Now that he was in the Nascent God Stage Level 3, how much stronger was he as compared to before? While Mo Wuji was in the Nascent God Level 3, he had his frightening sea of consciousness and mighty spiritual will. Those were not something even some Heavenly God experts could compare with. In addition to his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel, Mo Wuji was pretty confident in refining the second layer. Spiritual will seeped into the Sage Dao Talisman''s boundless talisman runes on the second layer of restriction. One talisman runes after another surged overwhelmingly into Mo Wuji''s will. Mo Wuji had the experience of refining the first layer so his spiritual will started to polish these talisman runes. According to Mo Wuji''s plan, all he needed to do was to spend some time to polish the talisman runes of the second layer. Sooner or later, his spiritual will would be able to refine the second layer of restriction. As Mo Wuji''s spiritual will gathered to increase his speed of polishing, a few sharp talismans charged straight into Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness. Before Mo Wuji could react in time, his sea of consciousness trembled vigorously without control. In the next moment, Mo Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. His spiritual will retracted instantly. He stopped trying to refine the Sage Dao Talisman while his sea of consciousness was still trembling. After swallowing a few Zhi Nature Pill, Mo Wuji''s trembling sea of consciousness finally calmed down. Mo Wuji looked at the suspending Sage Dao Talisman with lingering fears in his heart. He only just started refining the second layer. In this short period of time, the purple violet in his sea of consciousness was attacked by at least two peak grade talismans. This was equivalent to ambushing him where he was the weakest. These two god talismans only caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood and not any greater harm. This was only because his sea of consciousness was exceedingly strong. If it was any other cultivator, that two talismans might be enough to tear one''s sea of consciousness apart. This made Mo Wuji even more certain that refining the second layer of the Sage Dao Talisman was the key to obtaining talismans derived from it. The talismans which attacked him were definitely talismans derived from the Sage Dao Talisman. Mo Wuji only tried refining the second layer for a short period of time. In this short period of time, Mo Wuji understood something. If he were to only use his sea of consciousness to slowly polish this Sage Dao Talisman, he might not suffer the attacks from it. However, Mo Wuji found this impossible. If he didn''t increase the speed of refining, he might need up to a few hundred years just to refine the second layer. Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t want to spend a few years, let alone a few hundred years, just to refine one layer. If he didn''t have the Undying World, he might need to forgo refining this Sage Dao Talisman. In his Undying World, Mo Wuji had nothing but ideas. The six pages of the Book of Luo were instantly activated to protect his sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will tried to seep into it once more. Once he increased his speed to refine the second layer of restriction, offensive talismans charged over again. This was exactly what Mo Wuji predicted. These talismans consisted of Grade 9 immortal talisman but mostly were Grade 1 god talismans. Occasionally, there were even some Grade 2 god talismans. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will increased its speed yet again. The faster he tried to refine it, the stronger the attacks by the Sage Dao Talisman. Because of the six pages of the Book of Luo which helped protect Mo Wuji, all the attacks from the Sage Dao Talisman was swept away. In the worst case scenario, Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness would tremble slightly. In just a few days, Mo Wuji managed to refine one-fifth of it. This made Mo Wuji indescribably pleased. If it wasn''t for the Book of Luo, he might need a few years just to reach this point. His sea of consciousness was very sturdy as it merely trembled a little even after these attacks from the Sage Dao Talisman. It seemed like he could continue increasing the speed of refining the Sage Dao Talisman. At the thought of that, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will and spirit storage channel''s spiritual will were like seawater from a burst dam as it surged upwards. The number of talismans runes being refined increased tremendously. Similarly, the number of attacks on Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness also increased abruptly. Each attack was blocked off by the Book of Luo and this made Mo Wuji even more certain. With the help of the Book of Luo, he could still increase the rate of refinement. However, his spiritual will reached a limit and his spirit storage channel was already in use. How was he supposed to further increase the speed? What would happen if he were to take the initiative to attack the Sage Dao Talisman while his spiritual will refine the restriction? Anyway, he had the help of his Book of Luo. Hence, regardless how strong the attacks of the Sage Dao Talisman were, he wouldn''t be severely injured. It was just like how he used the Kun Wu Sword to attack while refining the first layer of the Sage Dao Talisman. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji instantly drew out his Kun Wu Sword. He let out a strike on the second layer of restriction. With one strike, that vast and boundless talisman runes instantly dispersed. Mo Wuji was like a whale absorbing water as he swept away these talisman runes to refine. "Kacha!" A wide grey and white space appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Not only did the grey and white space had all sorts of talismans dao runes, talismans were derived from it. The second layer of restriction was refined? Mo Wuji was ecstatic. In less than a month, he managed to refine the second layer of the Sage Dao Talisman? One must know that he actually spend almost half a year just to refine the first layer. Very soon, Mo Wuji came back to his senses as he was finally convinced that he successfully refined the second layer. The credit was not on himself but on the Book of Luo and Kun Wu Sword. When one was used for defense and one for offense, even the Sage Dao Talisman couldn''t do anything. Using this technique, he might even be able to refine the third and fourth layers of restriction. Without any hesitation, Mo Wuji struck the third layer of restriction with his Kun Wu Sword. He started to refine the third layer immediately. Mo Wuji saw the talismans from the second layer and they were mostly Grade 1 god talismans. Occasionally, there were a few Grade 2 god talismans but it was still far from what he wanted. ... Six months later, Mo Wuji walked out of his Undying World with an exhausted face. For the whole six months, Mo Wuji attacked the restriction wildly with his Kun Wu Sword. Concurrently, both his spiritual will was refining the talisman runes immensely without restraint. After using this much energy and effort, the third layer was finally considered refined. Mo Wuji spent one month to refine the second layer while he spent another five months refining the third. Mo Wuji didn''t continue refining the fourth layer because he could barely refine the third layer. According to his understanding of the Sage Dao Talisman, he might need numerous years to refine the fourth layer. This was because he only refined the first layer of restriction of the Kun Wu Sword''s sword intent. Even if he continued to attack, the fourth layer of the Sage Dao Talismans might not even budge even if he used his Kun Wu Sword. In the future when he refined his Kun Wu Sword intent''s second or third layer, he would be able to refine the fourth layer of the Sage Dao Talisman. Mo Wuji finally obtained his long awaited Grade 4 spatial teleportation god talisman. He even managed to obtain seven of the Grade 3 spatial teleportation god talisman. This Grade 4 spatial teleportation god talisman was what Mo Wuji was most desperate for. This was a talisman more superior than any other Grade 4 defensive god arrays. Mo Wuji was most worried that after rescuing Qu You, they would be trapped by the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Previously, he heard of how the defensive array of the Forgotten Creek Dao School was one of the most powerful defensive array of the god domain. In fact, it was probably ranked in the top five in the entire God Domain. In the God Domain, the God Evolution Sect was the sect with the strongest defensive array. They were the only one with a Grade 5 defensive array. Other than the God Evolution Sect, all the other sects only had Grade 4 defensive arrays. Rumours spread that the defensive array of the Forgotten Creek Dao School was a Quasi Grade 5 defensive array. In Mo Wuji''s eyes, a Quasi Grade 5 defensive array was still a Grade 4 defensive array. The Grade 4 spatial teleportation god talisman derived here was naturally not something a talisman master could refine. In fact, even some of the Grade 5 spatial teleportation talisman refined by talisman master might not be able to compare to it. Mo Wuji was well aware of how rare an existence like a Grade 5 spatial teleportation talisman was. The only regret was that Mo Wuji didn''t even see even a single offensive talisman that he wanted. With the talismans that he needed, Mo Wuji could say that he completed the first step. He was not going to be dealing with Nascent Gods or Heavenly Gods. There was a high chance that he would be dealing with a God King. Therefore, before heading towards the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Mo Wuji needed to plan his retreat route properly. The escape talisman was only one fifth of his plan. Fortunately, he managed to refine the third layer of restriction so he also managed to obtain a few Grade 3 concealment god talisman. This meant that he didn''t need to spend more effort to look for concealment talismans. Only with concealment talismans would he be able to get close to Qu You. Only with teleportation talisman would he be able to escape so he couldn''t afford to miss any one of these. Since Qu You was tied up on the Punishment Cliff, the Forgotten Creek Dao School wouldn''t kill her for the time being. Therefore, he had ample time to set up his escape plan. ... Two more months passed by as Mo Wuji appeared in a boundless swamp. He installed a concealed transfer array here. This transfer array was too small to transfer anyone but he wasn''t capable enough to install a bigger transfer array. Mo Wuji never thought of using this transfer array to escape. He never witnessed the attacks of a God King but he was certain that escaping with a transfer array wouldn''t work against a God King. He had other use for this transfer array and this was the second step of his plan. Chapter 938: Rescue Someone Chapter 938: Rescue Someone Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The nearest dao plaza to the Forgotten Creek Dao School was right in front of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. One could call it an open air city square plaza because of the sheer number of businessmen here. The Forgotten Creek Dao Plaza was always crowded. This was because the Forgotten Creek Dao School was too huge with too many disciples. To increase their own strength, a lot of disciples accepted missions from the sect before hanging notices here in the plaza. They allowed rogue cultivators to complete these missions for them. After some time, this place turned into an open air city square. All sorts of rogue cultivators gathered here. While some had businesses here, others were interested in joining the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Naturally, the majority of them were service disciples of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Their purpose here was to clean up the trash, plant god herbs for the outer disciples or any other trifle matters. Mo Wuji was also a member of these outer disciples. It was already the 13th month since Mo Wuji found out about Qu You being tied up on the Punishment Cliff. At the same time, it was his second month as an outer sect''s service disciple. He set up everything he needed to set up and now he was only left with the last two steps: Rescue Qu You and escape. Within these two months, Mo Wuji found out all the information he needed. The Forgotten Creek Dao Plaza belonged to the Forgotten Creek Dao School but it was located outside the sect itself. Therefore, one wouldn''t be able to see the Punishment Cliff from the Forgotten Creek Dao Plaza. As an outer sect''s service disciple, Mo Wuji could enter the defensive array of the Forgotten Creek Dao School once in a while. Ever since Mo Wuji became a service disciple, he only entered the defensive array twice. Rumours were that once one entered the defensive array, one would be able to see the Punishment Cliff. The Punishment Cliff of the Forgotten Creek Dao School was meant to serve as a warning for everyone in the sect. Therefore, everyone except people in the service hall would be able to see disciples restraint on the Punishment Cliff. Mo Wuji was working at the service hall but even that would be exaggerating. Mo Wuji could only be considered as working just outside the service hall. He was only allowed to enter occasionally. Because the service disciples of the service hall were not considered disciples of the sect, that was the only place which couldn''t see the Punishment Cliff. Moreover, the jade tokens of service disciples would only allow them to walk around in a designated area. Crossing this boundary would result in the sounding of the warning alarm. Today was Mo Wuji''s third trip inside the defensive array of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. His task was to transport about 20 bunches of Fragrant God Sprouts into the service hall with two other service disciples The Fragrant God Sprout must constantly be in contact with a world with all five elements and life force. This was so that it could have a high survival rate. Once the sprout was sent into a storage ring, its rate of survival would decrease rapidly. Mo Wuji also made his decision to act today. Before transporting the Fragrant God Sprout, Mo Wuji took out a transfer talisman in a desolate area in the Forgotten Creek Dao Plaza. Following that, he opened up a small and tightly packed jade vase with isolated restrictions. This was before placing it into the transfer talisman. Next, he ignited the transfer talisman. The jade vase with the isolated restrictions was transferred away within two breaths worth of time. The space fluctuated slightly and the transfer talisman turned into ashes. Concurrently, the jade vase disappeared without any traces. Once he finished doing this, Mo Wuji pretended as though nothing had happened as he carried on with his task. He received eight bunches of Fragrant God Sprouts. He headed towards the Forgotten Creek Dao School''s service hall with the other two service disciples. The Forgotten Creek Dao School''s disciples at the defensive array did a simple check of Mo Wuji and co.''s jade tokens before allowing them in. As Mo Wuji approached the entrance of the service hall, he stopped abruptly as he revealed an anxious expression. "Fa Mu, what happened?" The disciple who came in with Mo Wuji also came to a halt as he asked Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said with an ugly expression. "My Dao Companion met into some trouble so I have to go over now." Having said that, Mo Wuji placed the Fragrant God Sprouts down from his back as he said anxiously. "Brother Ding, could I trouble you to help me send it over? I don''t want any of the rewards this time around so you can have it all." Before he could complete his sentence, Mo Wuji turned and charged out of the Forgotten Creek Dao School worriedly. "Ding Li, I don''t think Fa Mu is doing the right thing. Once we entered the Forgotten Creek Dao School, we mustn''t leave halfway regardless of what happened." The third service disciple spoke in a terrified tone. The service disciple named Ding Li chuckled and said. "Fa Mu only joined us recently so he wasn''t sure of many rules. We will let him know once we return. A one time incident like this wouldn''t pose a problem. Moreover, he should be pretty anxious about his dao companion to leave in such a hurry. We are almost there so let''s just look for another person to help him." "That''s true." The other service disciple nodded as he didn''t think much about it. ¡­ Mo Wuji ignited a concealment talisman the instant he left. Naturally, his intention wasn''t to leave but to sneak out of the boundary of the service hall. Outer sect''s service disciples were not allowed to run around the sect as they wished. This was because there were restrictions everywhere. Even though Mo Wuji was already a grade 3 god array master, he didn''t dare to wander around carelessly. He was currently hiding outside a layer of concealment restriction. At this place, he was able to look clearly at the situation on the Punishment Cliff. Without his spiritual eye or even spiritual will, Mo Wuji was able to see Qu You tied onto the Punishment Cliff with her head drooping. That''s right, that was Qu You. After calming his heart, Mo Wuji took out and hung a jade token on his waist. This was a jade token belonging to an inner disciple of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. That inner disciple was killed by Mo Wuji himself. This jade token would allow him to enter the depths of the sect but that wasn''t Mo Wuji''s intention. He moved cautiously towards the Punishment Cliff. The Punishment Cliff was used to punish disciples and a place to serve as a warning. To allow everyone to have a view of it, the Punishment Cliff was located right near the periphery of the sect. This also gave Mo Wuji a higher chance of approaching it. ¡­ In a swamp located further away from the Forgotten Creek Dao School, a light radiance suddenly emerged. Following that, a jade vase appeared. After appearing for only a short while, the restrictions on the outside of the jade vase collapsed. Half an incense worth of time later, the transfer array was ignited again. The jade vase was transferred away yet again. In the guest hall of the summit, God King Blazing Heaven, God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood were still deep in discussion. Even after waiting for Mo Wuji over for a year, God King Blazing Heaven was not anxious at all. To a God King, a timespan of one year was no different from a mealtime. "Actually in my God Domain, the fight for the God Throne wasn''t something that never appeared before." God King Blazing Heaven suddenly stood up to stop the conversation as he revealed traces of disbelief in his eyes. Following that, God King Blazing Heaven, together with the two other God Kings, looked at the sky in absolute disbelief. Moments later, all three of them shouted concurrently. "Breath of Hongmeng¡­" "The Breath of Hongmeng actually appeared!" God King Scoured Sea shouted with a trembling voice. Mo Wuji didn''t really know much about the Breath of Hongmeng as he merely used it for healing and cultivation purposes. To a God King, how could the Breath of Hongmeng only be used for healing? Healing was, in fact, the most wasteful use of it. The Breath of Hongmeng could be used to condense one''s own laws and was the most valuable treasure to break through the God King Stage. To a God King, the Breath of Hongmeng was worth more than the Primal God Lattice. Now that the Breath of Hongmeng actually appeared in the God Domain, how could the few of them sit still? "Let''s go and take a look." God King Blazing Heaven spoke and disappeared in a flash. God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood followed suit in almost the same instant. After these few God Kings disappeared, the other World God experts of the Forgotten Creek Dao School also felt the Breath of Hongmeng. Nobody hesitated as they darted out of their cultivation venue and charged towards the same place. Presently, it wasn''t just the Forgotten Creek Dao School who felt it. Even some experts from the other areas of the God Domain could sense the Breath of Hongmeng. All of them headed towards the swamp which Mo Wuji was at. Mo Wuji was also helpless. He used the transfer array to send the Breath of Hongmeng out so that people would be able to sense it the moment it appeared. Otherwise, he wouldn''t need to set up a transfer array. He could just hide the Breath of Hongmeng in a concealed place before exploding the vase. As he saw how many lights disappeared from the various big mountains of the sect, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. God King Guiding Wood should be gone right? As long as the God King was gone, he had hopes of succeeding. Mo Wuji didn''t know that the Breath of Hongmeng which he took out was that sensational. At this moment, it wasn''t just the God Kings. Even all the World Gods and God Monarchs were surging towards the swamp where he transferred his Breath of Hongmeng to. If people knew that Mo Wuji possessed the Breath of Hongmeng, there wouldn''t be Mo Wuji in the world anymore. Given Mo Wuji''s estimation, he used a total of two months to reach that swamp. If it was a God King, he would probably need half a day. To return back to the sect, that would take a total of one day. To guard against the unexpected, Mo Wuji only set aside half an incense worth of time for him to rescue Qu You. He needed to rescue Qu You within half an incense worth of time. Otherwise, he would have to leave himself. Many experts left the Forgotten Creek Dao School. His plan went so smoothly that even Mo Wuji found it hard to believe. Now that even the World Gods were gone, his grade 3 concealment talisman would probably not be spotted by any God Monarch. This also made the bottle of toxin, which Mo Wuji worked hard to get hold of, useless. Mo Wuji prepared this toxin beforehand just in case anybody appeared in front of Qu You to obstruct his rescue mission. His toxin might not be effective against World Gods but he would be able to stall some time against a God Monarch. Now that all the experts of the sect went to fight for the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji was no longer as anxious as before. He spent a total of four hours just to breakthrough the grade 3 god restriction of the Punishment Cliff before entering fearlessly. After entering the Punishment Cliff, Mo Wuji only used a few seconds to land right in front of Qu You with the aid of his wind teleportation. Chapter 939: Muddled War Chapter 939: Muddled War Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Qu You''s dispirited energy could be felt as Mo Wuji rushed over. Coincidentally, Qu You lifted her head. Besides looking skinnier, Qu You didn''t look too different from when they first met. This was even after being tied on the Punishment Cliff for over a year. "I''m sorry Senior Sister Qu You, I thought that the Primal God Lattice could protect you. Never would I have thought that it would hurt you instead. I''ll bring you away now¡­" Mo Wuji reached out his hand towards the restriction which was trapping Qu You. Qu You looked shockingly at Mo Wuji in great disbelief. She couldn''t understand as to why Mo Wuji would come here? Why was Mo Wuji able to stand here without any reaction of the few God Kings? Previously, she still couldn''t believe that Mo Wuji managed to kill 47 of them out of 49 Heavenly and Nascent God experts. Presently, she finally believed it. Mo Wuji didn''t pay much attention to Qu You''s eyes. His hands was already touching her shoulder. Something''s not right! That was Mo Wuji''s first instinct as his hands landed on her shoulder. Qu You''s appearance and energy didn''t appear different. However, Mo Wuji helped her detoxified poison in her body before. As long as she was someone who he helped detoxify previously, a touch was all he needed. However, Qu You''s current body was not showing any signs of energy belonging to his detoxification meridian. Just as Mo Wuji thought of something, the girl pretending to be Qu You raised her hand to shoot out ten killing radiance. After these ten radiances, it was a circular stamp. The circular stamp charged towards Mo Wuji''s forehead. Because Mo Wuji was so close to Qu You, he didn''t even have the space to dodge it as blood splattered all over his body. Fortunately, he detected something off with Qu You in that instant. He reacted early enough. That circular stamp brushed against Mo Wuji''s temple and Mo Wuji survived this time. Mo Wuji opened his palm and a grade 4 spatial teleportation talisman appeared in his hand. "A toad like you really think you can lust after my sister? Tsk, die for me¡­" The woman pretending to be Qu You shifted and her circular stamp condensed its killing intent towards Mo Wuji. Simultaneously, a sharp whistle surged into the sky following a colourful explosion. "Kakaka!" The defensive array of the Forgotten Creek Dao School was instantly ignited. The space around the sect had turned into an impenetrable defence. Mo Wuji could no longer be bothered with this woman pretending to be Qu You. Who knew when the God King of the sect would return? In fact, even the arrival of a God Monarch would be problematic for him. Moreover, he was already injured by that killing radiance from the circular stamp. If he didn''t leave now, when should he? The grade 4 spatial teleportation talisman was ignited as it turned into a yellow fog to envelop Mo Wuji. The woman pretending to be Qu You stared and sneered at Mo Wuji. "You really do have quite a number of good items. No wonder you are willing to take out the Primal God Lattice to please my sister. The pity is that my sister still wants you dead and I''m only doing it for her. Also, do you really think you can escape while being in the defensive array of my Forgotten Creek Dao School?" This woman suddenly stopped talking because Mo Wuji actually disappeared without a trace under that yellow fog. In that very instant, the defensive array of the Forgotten Creek Dao School was only there for decoration. At that moment when Mo Wuji escaped, over ten shadows landed in front of this woman. The person standing in front was a muscular cultivator. His cultivation level seemed to be much higher than this woman. Even so, he clasped his fists as he asked, "Junior Sister Qu Xi, where is he?" The woman named Qu Xi finally came back to her shock as she said in disbelief. "He actually used an escape talisman to breakthrough the sect''s defensive array¡­ How is this possible? How?" The expert standing in front was equally shocked when he heard of Qu Xi''s words. He instantly replied, "Hurry up and chase after him. Even if we have to cross mountains and dive into oceans, we must not let him get away. We only need to find his traces and Ancestor will be able to capture him easily¡­" The cultivator speaking turned and charged out of the Punishment Cliff. Following him were the ten experts who arrived alongside him. Merely breaths after the ten people left, a slim figure landed right at the peak of the Punishment Cliff. If Mo Wuji was still around, he would recognise this woman as the real Qu You. Ever since Qu You returned from the newly incubated God Domain Nest, she was in secluded cultivation. This was the sect''s ancestor, head and her own idea. The reason she came out today was because she was disturbed by Qu Xi''s five coloured talisman alarm. Once the five coloured talisman appeared, it meant that the sect was in trouble. "It''s you?" Qu You stared surprisingly at Qu Xi. She didn''t expect to see Qu Xi being tied up at the Punishment Cliff and also how she was able to ignite the talisman while being tied here. No, the restriction trapping Qu Xi seemed to have been broken. After muttering ''it''s you'', Qu You didn''t say anything else. Qu Xi and herself were twins but one of them followed their father while the other followed their mother. After their father and mother passed away, their characters were of the different poles. While they couldn''t be considered as enemies, they weren''t on very good terms. In the Forgotten Creek Dao School, if Qu Xi appeared somewhere, Qu You would definitely not head there and vice versa. Qu Xi''s aptitude was slightly better which was why her cultivation level was slightly higher than Qu You''s. What infuriated Qu Xi was how Qu You managed to merge with the Primal God Lattice Crystal in her trip to the newly incubated God Domain Nest. In just a few years, Qu You''s cultivation surpassed her by miles. At this moment, she was already in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8. Qu Xi couldn''t wait to swallow the b*stard who gave the Primal God Lattice to Qu You. Qu Xi''s sharp voice could be heard. "Qu You, aren''t you happy to see that I''m punished by the sect? Scram!" Qu You frowned but it wasn''t because of Qu Xi''s sharp voice. It was because she sensed a familiar energy here. Because Qu Xi''s voice was too ear-piercing, Qu You didn''t want to ponder upon it here. She left in a flash without hesitation. She had no idea why Qu Xi would ignite the five coloured talisman. Now that the sect seemed fine, she was prepared to head back to her secluded cultivation. Once she reached the Heavenly God Stage Level 9, she would head out to strengthen herself before preparing to enter the God Monarch Stage. With the Primal God Lattice, her cultivation of her own Grand Dao was nothing but smooth sailing. ... On a swamp billions of miles away from the Forgotten Creek Dao School, there were a total of five God Kings gathered there. As for the other people gathered there, the numbers were increasing by the minute. While God King Blazing Heaven sensed the Breath of Hongmeng and came over immediately, he wasn''t the first God King to arrive. If everyone wasn''t impeding each other here, someone would have dashed into the cave in front of them where only a simple killing array was set up. This was because the Breath of Hongmeng emerged from this cave. "Brother Blazing Heaven, you''ve arrived at just the right time. The item is right in the cave and it should have been opened not too long ago." The moment God King Blazing Heaven arrived, a black robe man clasped his fists. This black rope man was also one of the ten great God Kings. He was ranked number 9, God King Lone Cauldron. God King Blazing Heaven nodded, "Since that is the case, I shall head in to take a look." Other God Kings came here so they would be impeding each other. However, God King Blazing Heaven was the number one God King in the God Domain so his power of influence was still significant. Moreover, everyone knew how fair and just God King Blazing Heaven was so they were not worried to let him in. Everyone already used their spiritual will to check on the item in the cave. It was only a small jade vase. This cave should have been carved recently and a jade vase with the Breath of Hongmeng appeared inside. Even a fool could tell that this was a trap. Just as God King Blazing Heaven arrived at the entrance, a grey radiance surged towards God King Blazing Heaven. "Blazing Heaven, is it true that all the good items will only belong to you?" After God King Blazing Heaven''s body dodged the radiance, a person landed. "Mystery Spirit, what''s the meaning of this?" God King Blazing Heaven extended his arm as he tried to grab the incoming shadow. Despite the presence of many other God Kings here, nobody dared to intervene. Everyone knew who this person was: God King Mystery Spirit. He was ranked number two out of the top ten great God KIngs but God King Mystery Spirit had never acknowledged this ranking. God King Blazing Heaven was exceedingly strong to the extent that the alliance of two to three of the other ten great God Kings might not be his match too. The only exception was God King Mystery Spirit who was not any weaker than God King Blazing Heaven. When the two of them fought each other previously, both suffered equally. God King Mystery Spirit laughed out loud before saying in a stern tone. "Blazing Heaven is merely a hypocrite who wants the Breath of Hongmeng to himself. Everyone, whoever can snatch it will own it." Initially, the few God Kings were impeding each other and nobody dared to take the initiative to snatch it. God King Mystery Spirit picked a fight with God King Blazing Heaven the moment he appeared. Additionally, he even encouraged everyone to fight for the Breath of Hongmeng. If one hadn''t seen the Breath of Hongmeng, one could still let it go. Now that it had appeared in front of everyone, who wouldn''t be interested in it? This was something which could actually differentiate one''s dao from everyone else. Presently, even God King Blazing Heaven couldn''t help it. Countless cultivators started fighting for the rights to enter the cave as this muddled war began. "Stop, everyone stop! There is only a jade vase and nothing else." God King Blazing Heaven was still shouting but nobody was listening to him. The pity was that he was obstructed by God King Mystery Spirit and couldn''t afford to lose attention. Nobody listened to him because everyone already knew that there was only one bottle. However, one had to see what was inside the bottle to know if it was worth fighting for. God King Blazing Heaven was well aware of God King Mystery Spirit''s intention. The Breath of Hongmeng could end up in anyone''s hands except for God King Blazing Heaven''s hands. Mystery Spirit would be able to snatch it back if it were to land in anyone else''s hands. Once it landed on God King Blazing Heaven''s hands, it would signify the potential of a greater difference between the of them. A message landed in God King Scoured Sea''s hands and he shouted. "Not good!" God King Guiding Wood, who was initially prepared to charge in, turned and asked. "Senior Brother, what is it?" "Mo Wuji actually appeared at the Punishment Cliff at this moment and he managed to escape¡­" God King Scoured Sea didn''t continue speaking. Even a fool would understand and realise that this was simply too coincidental. The three of them was in the sect for over a year. Now that this was the first time they left, Mo Wuji went into the Forgotten Creek Dao School. If someone said that this wasn''t Mo Wuji''s doing, none of them would believe. God King Guiding Wood instantly understood God King Scoured Sea''s shock. If it was anyone else, he would never believe what he was assuming now. Who would be that foolish to use the Breath of Hongmeng to lure them out? If there was really an idiot who would give away the Primal God Lattice, what was odd about using the Breath of Hongmeng to lure them out? Fervent expressions appeared on God King Guiding Wood and God King Scoured Sea''s face. They were even more certain of Mo Wuji''s worth now. Chapter 940: Nirvana Ocean of Extinction Chapter 940: Nirvana Ocean of Extinction Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji stared blankly at the desolate plain. He knew that he wasted an escape talisman with an immeasurable price. Also, he didn''t expect that this talisman could teleport him out so far away. To rescue Qu You, Mo Wuji already checked the area over billions of miles surrounding the Forgotten Creek Dao School a few times. He was certain that he wasn''t here before. This meant that this talisman actually brought him so far out of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. With a single talisman, there was no need for any other technique for him to escape the Forgotten Creek Dao School. "What a powerful talisman¡­" Mo Wuji muttered to himself. A talisman like this was equivalent to having an extra life. Wasting this talisman was like wasting a life. The pity was that if he wanted another one of this grade 4 escape talisman, he would need to refine the fourth layer of restriction of the Sage Dao Talisman. Mo Wuji shook his head as he tossed this idea behind his head. He would never be able to forge a grade 4 spatial teleportation talisman like this. Even if he were to focus all his energy and time into analysing talismans, he wouldn''t be able to forge a talisman like this anytime soon. This talisman would require the merging of spatial laws. He was only in the Nascent God Stage 3 who have yet to come into any contact with spatial laws of the God Domain. How was he supposed to forge a talisman like this? Looking at the direction which he came from, Mo Wuji knew that it was time for him to leave this place. From today onwards, he would no longer have any foothold in the God Domain. Mo Wuji didn''t know that the Breath of Hongmeng could present a God King the opportunity to advance into the Unity God Stage. Despite this, he was well aware that this was not a simple treasure. Ever since he let out some of the Breath of Hongmeng, countless lights left the Forgotten Creek Dao School. This showed the value of his Breath of Hongmeng. The experts which were led away from the Forgotten Creek Dao School didn''t have to think much. It was too obvious that he was the one who took out this Breath of Hongmeng. After revealing a treasure like this, why would he remain in the God Domain to await his death? The only possible place he could head to now was the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction. ¡­ At the swamp where Mo Wuji set up the cave, there were at least a few hundred thousands cultivators who had fallen here. That vase of the Breath of Hongmeng also disappeared without a trace and no one knew who took it. After the Breath of Hongmeng was snatched away, God King Mystery Spirit followed closely behind. He did not intend to continue his arguement with God King Blazing Heaven. By the time the three God Kings returned to the Forgotten Creek Dao School, it was already half a day later. Back in the guest hall in the summit of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, the three God Kings sat down in silence. Nobody went to chase after Mo Wuji. As God Kings, all three of them knew that it was futile. Since Mo Wuji planned this so thoroughly, he wouldn''t leave any traces for them to chase after him. "Brother Blazing Heaven, what do you think shall be our next step?" God King Scoured Sea inquired. God King Scoured Sea wasn''t lying to God King Blazing Heaven. Truth be told, that Breath of Hongmeng could be something Mo Wuji brought out to lead them away from the Forgotten Creek Dao School. He knew that even if he didn''t mention this, God King Blazing Heaven would have guessed it. "This person must have obtained some sort of legacy to actually possess so many treasures on him. Moreover, it isn''t a simple thing to be able to conceal the Breath of Hongmeng." God King Blazing Heaven sighed. God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood didn''t interrupt God King Blazing Heaven. Both of them no longer suspected the words of God King Blazing Heaven. This was ever since he accurately predicted that Mo Wuji would come to the Forgotten Creek Dao School. If all three of them were not lead away by the Breath of Hongmeng, Mo Wuji would have already been caught. "I am to blame for this matter. We should have left at least one of us back here." God King Blazing Heaven shook his head. God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood didn''t speak. Everyone knew that even if they were to turn back time, none of them would actually stay behind. How could someone not be interested in the Breath of Hongmeng? "It is evident that the items on Mo Wuji are far more valuable than what we expect. We will have to find him before we can do anything else." God King Blazing Heaven said with a certain resolute. God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood remained silent. After waiting patiently to capture Mo Wuji for over a year, they failed. Now that they alerted Mo Wuji, how were they supposed to find him? God King Blazing Heaven said once more. "There is still someone who might know where Mo Wuji will go." "Qu You?" The two God Kings said the same name at the same time. Evidently, both of them understood what God King Blazing Heaven meant. God King Blazing Heaven nodded. "Since Mo Wuji gave the Primal God Lattice to Qu You, there is a high chance that he will tell Qu You where he is heading to. According to Qu Xi''s words, I am certain that even as a God King, we will not be able to find a Nascent God like him. This person is too crafty and cautious." "I will get Qu You to come over." God King Scoured Sea instantly sent out a message. In less than an incense worth of time, Qu You appeared at the summit of the Forgotten Creek Mountain. She greeted the three God Kings respectfully. "Qu You greets Senior Blazing Heaven, Ancestor Scoured Sea and Ancestor Guiding Wood." "Not bad, you''re already in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8. Qu You, have you come across any difficulties in your cultivation recently?" Seeing Qu You here, God King Guiding Wood chuckled as he asked. Qu You didn''t understand why the few God Kings would ask her over so she hurried to answer. "Senior, my recent cultivation progress was rapid and all my enlightenments were clear. I have yet to meet any bottlenecks." God King Scoured Sea laughed, "Looks like we really must thank this Mo Wuji for being so generous. Qu You ah, you have to invite that Mo Wuji back to the sect for us to thank him. God King Guiding Wood and I really must thank him personally. Do you know how precious a Primal God Lattice is? Because you condense the Primal God Lattice, there is a high chance that you will break through the shackles of a God King. Precisely because of this, we are in great debt to him." "Yes, Ancestor! Junior will bear that in my heart." Qu You answered cautiously as she felt uneasy over the few sentences of these God Kings. God King Guiding Wood also added in, "You don''t have to be overcautious. You''re going to be the pride of our Forgotten Creek Dao School very soon. We, Forgotten Creek Dao School, will also improve because of you." He was aware of Qu You''s character and he knew that Qu You wouldn''t claim such credits. Indeed, Qu You spoke at this moment. "If it isn''t for Senior Brother Mo Wuji''s Primal God Lattice, I will never achieve what I achieve today with my aptitude." God King Guiding Wood replied with a straight face. "Yes, you''re right because Mo Wuji did play a key role in this matter. Do you know where Mo Wuji go? Just like what Ancestor Scoured Sea said, we must really thank him properly." Qu You opened her mouth and was so close to mentioning that Mo Wuji could have gone to the Nirvana Ocean. It was likely that he went to wait for the emergence of the Clear Ocean Path. However, as the words reached the edge of her mouth, she swallowed them. It wasn''t because she didn''t trust her two ancestors. It was because she made a promise to herself. She vowed to never reveal where Mo Wuji might go to anyone. "I have no idea as well. He only told me that he wanted to head back to take a look at his sect. I wonder if he manage to return there." This was Qu You''s first time talking to three God Kings so she was slightly uncomfortable. "You can go back to cultivate now. Oh yes, this is a Monarch Condensing God Pill for you." God King Scoured Sea handed a jade vase to Qu You with smiles. The Monarch Condensing God Pill was actually the most precious Tier 3 pill for Heavenly Gods. This pill provided opportunities for Heavenly God cultivators to step into the God Monarch Stage. Every single one of this pill was worth cities. Qu You received the jade vase excitedly as she expressed her gratitude again before heading back down. After Qu You left, God King Guiding Wood sighed. "I think she was lying to us." God King Scoured Sea also knew that Qu You was lying as he laughed. "Forget it then. I believe she has some kind of promise with Mo Wuji so let''s not force her." Qu You, who condensed the Primal God Lattice, was of great importance to God King Scoured Sea. God King Blazing Heaven smiled. "She was definitely lying but we don''t have to force Qu You for her to speak the truth. There is a memory array called the remembrance array. As long as we install a remembrance array where Qu You was cultivating, we will be able to get Qu You to speak the truth. However, this remembrance array will require us to invite God King Glazed Seven to install it. We will need about a few months for him to set this up." ... While Mo Wuji appeared like he was drenched in blood and severely injured, his injuries were actually recovering very quickly. In less than a month, he was halfway through complete recovery. Whether he recovered or not, Mo Wuji was constantly on the move towards the Nirvana Ocean. Even though he was unsure when the Clear Ocean Path would emerge, Mo Wuji couldn''t care anymore. He had this faint feeling that the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction was his only route of survival. Five months later, a dark red coloured ocean appeared in Mo Wuji''s spiritual will. A deathly energy could be felt as Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he had finally reached the periphery of the Nirvana Ocean. During this five months, Mo Wuji used up all his high and intermediate grade god crystals. He didn''t use it for cultivation but for his travels. This was considering that he didn''t dare to take the long-distance transfer array. Such transfer arrays would cost him more than his entire fortune. Other than taking the transfer array, he spent most of the time using his Wind Escape Technique. After spotting the Nirvana Ocean, Mo Wuji only needed one wind teleportation to reach the edge of the Nirvana Ocean. Just like the information which he obtained, there was not a single cultivator here at the Nirvana Ocean. There was also no god spiritual energy here at all. The ocean simply appeared as though it was painted red as it stretched out endlessly. Mo Wuji looked down at the beach and noticed that even the sands and rocks were red. In fact, there was even a slight smell of blood. The ocean was boundless. However, the strange thing about it was that it didn''t have any spindrift or even ripples on it. Because of the lack of spindrift, there was no wind around the ocean as well. Standing by the beach was just like standing in the middle of a sound-proof room. Perhaps, the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction was the quietest ocean in the entire universe. Mo Wuji took out a feather from his storage ring to throw onto the ocean. The feather sank without stopping. Next, he tossed out a well refined small boat onto the ocean. The faint red ocean water didn''t seem to have any buoyancy. The small boat sank instantly as well. Mo Wuji raised his head as he looked at the endless Nirvana Ocean and sighed. When will the Clear Ocean Path appear? Chapter 941: Clear Ocean Path Chapter 941: Clear Ocean Path Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was wandering around the border of the Nirvana Ocean for over ten days. Not only did he not see the Clear Ocean Path, he didn''t even come across a single soul there. The shore of the Nirvana Ocean might be boundless but Mo Wuji was certain that he would be able to sense it once the Clear Ocean Path appeared. Everytime the Clear Ocean Path appeared, countless people would arrive at the Nirvana Ocean. Up till now, not a single soul appeared. This meant that the Clear Ocean Path would not appear anytime soon. A few more days flew by and Mo Wuji had a faint feeling that he should not continue waiting here. There seemed to be an indistinct danger constantly lingering behind him. It felt like if he didn''t leave soon, death would fall upon him in the next moment. Mo Wuji heard from others about the two main reasons why one wouldn''t be able to cross the Nirvana Ocean. Firstly, it was because one wouldn''t be able to float in the ocean. Secondly, the sea water of the Nirvana Ocean would corrode one''s Grand Dao. Rumours spread that the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction was red in colour because an almighty perished here. The blood of this cultivator dyed the entire ocean red. This almighty''s dao aura gradually spread across the Nirvana Ocean. Any cultivator who entered the Nirvana Ocean would be stripped off their dao spirituality by the dao aura of the Nirvana Ocean. Following which, even the sea of consciousness, spirit roots and spirit channels would be corroded along with it. Mo Wuji wanted to test out the validity of the rumours personally. As he stepped on the red coloured sand, Mo Wuji cautiously placed one foot into the water. Mo Wuji''s plan was to lift his leg immediately once his foot touched the water. From his understanding, the water of the Nirvana Ocean, with exception of the Clear Ocean Path, would instantly corrode one''s dao spirituality once in contact. From flesh to bones, any parts that touched the water would instantly corrode into nothing. The ocean water was slightly chilly as Mo Wuji''s foot touched the water. The dao aura of a peculiar energy surged up into his body. Mo Wuji was exceedingly surprised to find out that the flesh on his foot was not corroded. Because there weren''t any signs of corrosion, Mo Wuji didn''t lift his foot up. After a while, he brought the other foot into the water. That oddly terrifying energy instantly surged towards Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness. At that moment, Mo Wuji could hear the tearing of his own sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji was shocked. However, the Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman came to protect his sea of consciousness at the very first moment. When the terrifying energy of corrosion was blocked off by the Book of Luo as well as the Sage Dao Talisman, Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness finally stopped tearing apart. With the works of the spirit storage channel and elemental storage channel, the sea of consciousness was already starting to recover. How powerful! Mo Wuji couldn''t help but praise the corroding power of the ocean. If it wasn''t for his Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman, his sea of consciousness would have already been destroyed. No wonder nobody dared to set foot in the ocean. Even so, this seemed to be slightly different from what the rumours were. Rumours spread that the Nirvana Ocean would corrode dao aura, spirit roots, spirit channels, primordial spirit¡­ Oh yes, he didn''t even have any spirit roots or spirit channels to begin with. Even his dao aura was from his Immortal Mortal Technique which belonged to his Mortal Dao. It didn''t originate from the cultivation of spirit channels. In that instant, Mo Wuji understood why his cultivation and meridians were not corroded. It was because he wasn''t an ordinary cultivator like everyone else but a mortal cultivator. Despite being a mortal cultivator, his sea of consciousness was no different from the others. If he were to specify a difference, that would be how his sea of consciousness was supported by the violet lake. This was in place of the primordial spirit. Perhaps he could traverse the Nirvana Ocean without the aid of the Clear Ocean Path. Once this idea appeared in Mo Wuji''s mind, he could no longer stop thinking about it. He kept thinking about how he could no longer stay in the God Domain. If he didn''t traverse the Nirvana Ocean, where was he supposed to go? Moreover, Mo Wuji could feel an indistinct danger growing closer by the minute. Mo Wuji stood by the shore to consider this option for over two hours. Eventually, he made his decision to cross the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction. Many years ago, Mo Wuji was ambushed by Tai Shixiao. After that incident, Mo Wuji decided that he would not place himself in danger ever again. After about ten breaths, Mo Wuji was completely immersed in the Nirvana Ocean. The Nirvana Ocean had no buoyancy. Besides a boundless dao aura within the water, there were no other forms of energy. There were also no dangers or objects and one''s spiritual will was unable to be extended out here. Even though Mo Wuji had the spirit storage channel, he could barely protect himself. Initially, Mo Wuji was still able to walk across the seabed easily. However, the ocean got deeper and two hours later, he couldn''t even continue his spiritual circulation. If he didn''t have his world channel, Mo Wuji might even consider giving up and heading back to the shore. Yet another couple of hours passed. When Mo Wuji could no longer walk further, he started cultivating. The Nirvana Ocean might just be the best place to temper his physique. This was a place where the pressure was so strong that all his flesh and bones were constantly being hurt. Mo Wuji thought that he might achieve great results here. The truth didn''t disappoint Mo Wuji. As he continued to temper his physique, he felt more comfortable under the ocean. After cultivating to the peak of level 9, Mo Wuji was only a small step away from the Great Circle of level 9. Presently, Mo Wuji was able to feel the increase in strength of his flesh and bones. It seemed like he was finally able to advance into the Great Circle of the God Physique Level 9. As Mo Wuji continued to walk across the seabed, he forgot that he was in the Nirvana Ocean. As he constantly strengthened his physique, he was also refining his blood to a higher level. Over the years, Mo Wuji''s cultivation level showed no improvement. Now, he finally found a way to increase his own strength. Even though his cultivation level didn''t improve, improving his physique was the same to him. ¡­ Half a month after Mo Wuji entered the Nirvana Ocean, three people landed right at the border of the Nirvana Ocean. These three people were indeed the three who had been working so hard to find Mo Wuji: God King Blazing Heaven, God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood. "I doubt he arrived yet because I haven''t seen him around this area." The three God Kings looked around the periphery. Following which, God King Guiding Wood said in a disappointed tone. God King Blazing Heaven frowned slightly. Even though they received the news of Mo Wuji coming to the Nirvana Ocean late, Mo Wuji should have been waiting around this area. After all, the Clear Ocean Path would only appear for half a year. If he was Mo Wuji, he would definitely not run about at a time like this. "Mo Wuji should not have arrive here since the Clear Ocean Path have yet to appear." God King Scoured Sea commented. God King Blazing Heaven sighed. "The Clear Ocean Path will only appear half a year later so let''s just wait here. If Mo Wuji doesn''t appear within this half a year, it is highly likely that Mo Wuji tricked Qu You. He might not have plan to come here at all." "If he doesn''t come to the Nirvana Ocean, finding him might really be a problem." God King Guiding Wood furrowed his brows. God King Blazing Heaven let out a slight smile. "Actually, I wish that he doesn''t come to the Nirvana Ocean. As long as he didn''t cross the Nirvana Ocean, we will have hopes of finding him." ¡­ Qu You opened her eyes in shock. Even while her cultivation was already in the Heavenly God Stage Level 9, she still felt as though something was off. It was as if she was in a dream and in that dream, she felt that she was with Mo Wuji again. That included everything that was said between the two of them. Something felt amiss. While she was considered close to Mo Wuji, it wasn''t to the extent where she would dream of him. If one were to say that she secretly fell in love with Mo Wuji, even Qu You would find it hard to believe. In her eyes, this seemed unrealistic. Back then, Mo Wuji was evidently not interested in her. No matter how unreserved Qu You was, she wouldn''t take the initiative to like someone who doesn''t fancy her. She was indebted and thankful for Mo Wuji but that didn''t mean love. Moreover, why would she dream of him so randomly? "Senior Sister, are you not cultivating anymore? Master invited you over." A clear voice sounded. Qu You hurried to recollect her thoughts as she released the restriction of her room. "Man''Er, Master finally returned to the sect?" A delicate young woman appeared in front of Qu You''s residence and she was Qu You''s junior sister Kong Man. Kong Man had similar cultivation level as Qu You but after Qu You condensed her Primal God Lattice, her cultivation surged extraordinarily. In just a few years, Qu You reached the Heavenly God Stage Level 9 while Kong Man, who just condensed her god lattice, entered the Heavenly God Stage Level 1 very recently. "Yes, and I''ve heard that something big happened." Kong Man hurried to answer. Qu You never had the intention to continue cultivating. Once she reached the Heavenly God Stage Level 9, further secluded cultivation wouldn''t do much good to her. Given her current situation, the best way would be to head out for a period of time before coming back to enter the God Monarch Stage. "Alright, let''s go over then." Qu You packed up her items before shutting up her restriction again. She wouldn''t return to cultivate for a short period of time. ¡­ The Forgotten Creek Dao School was one of the greatest sect of the God Domain. They even had countless of god mountains. Qu You''s Master, Ling Menggu, didn''t stay on any of the god mountain. Instead, she stayed in the Dream River Valley of the Forgotten Creek Dao School. The Dream River Valley was renamed by Ling Menggu herself. The valley had a delicate scenery and the god spiritual energy was undoubtedly dense. Ling Menggu might not be a God King and was only in the World God Stage Level 9. Even so, her status in the Forgotten Creek Dao School was not lower than God King Guiding Wood. Previously, Mo Wuji guessed that Ling Menggu wouldn''t have ways to rescue Qu You from the hands of God King Guiding Wood. The truth was that he really did underestimate Ling Menggu. If Qu You was really captured by God King Guiding Wood, she was actually capable enough to rescue Qu You from him. In the entire Forgotten Creek Dao School, Ling Menggu was only below the existence of the two God Kings and the sect head. Qu You and Kong Man might be Ling Menggu''s disciples but even they were not allowed to stay in the Dream River Valley. "Come on in." Qu You and Kong Man had just arrived at the entrance and Ling Menggu''s voice was heard. "Qu You greets Master and I wonder what orders does Master has for me?" Qu You spoke respectfully to Ling Menggu. Ling Menggu didn''t look much older than Qu You. She had a fair skin and was also delicately beautiful. Seeing Qu You and Kong Man walked in, she nodded slightly. "The Clear Ocean Path of the Nirvana Ocean is about to appear." "The Clear Ocean Path is going to appear?" Qu You subconsciously repeated these words. All she thought about was how she was going to spread this news to Mo Wuji. "Qu You, any matter?" Noticing Qu You''s odd reaction, Ling Menggu asked doubtfully. Chapter 942: Nirvana Dao Sand Chapter 942: Nirvana Dao Sand Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ah, nothing much. I''m just surprise at the appearance of the Clear Ocean Path of the Nirvana Ocean." Qu You hurried to answer. She realised that informing Mo Wuji of this news should be impossible. In fact, she didn''t even have any ways to contact Mo Wuji. She believed that Mo Wuji should be able to hear of such big news by himself right? Ling Menggu could sense that Qu You was speaking half-heartedly but she didn''t mind. "Do you know that the Nine Evolutions God Sect recently produce two new God Kings?" Qu You was astonished because she knew how hard it was for a person to become a God King in the God Domain. Previously, the Heavenly Mortal Sect''s Pang Jie became a God King but it was through sheer fortune and coincidence. Even though the Nine Evolutions God Sect was a peak grade sect, their status was far from the Forgotten Creek Dao School. How could they suddenly have two God Kings in their ranks? "Master, I''ve heard from Senior Blazing Heaven that it is incredibly difficult for God Kings to emerge in the God Domain. How is it possible that two God Kings emerged just like that?" Qu You said in disbelief. Ling Menggu replied. "It is because of the Nirvana Dao Sand. The Nine Evolutions God Sect obtained two Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. The Nirvana Dao Sand contains the peak grade dao aura of the Nirvana Ocean. As long as one is able to gain insights on the dao aura of the Nirvana Dao Sand, one can step into the God King Stage easily. "The Nirvana Dao Sand from the Nirvana Ocean can allow a World God to step into the God King Stage?" Qu You exclaimed. In this short period of time, ideas flooded her mind. The Nirvana Ocean contained the Nirvana Dao Sand. This meant to say that as long as one had the Nirvana Dao Sand and gained insights from it, one would be able to enter the God King Stage. Doesn''t this mean that there would be a new batch of God Kings emerging in the God Domain? All of a sudden, Qu You started to realise why her Master asked her to come over. Her Master was already in the World God Stage Level 9. She would definitely want to look for the Nirvana Dao Sand from the Nirvana Ocean. Perhaps she would be asked to follow her in search of the Nirvana Dao Sand. Ling Menggu looked at Qu You''s expression as she said. "You''re overthinking too much. The Nirvana Dao Sand is at the bottom of the Nirvana Ocean and is not so easily attainable. However, these two people from the Nine Evolutions God Sect managed to use the Nirvana Dao Sand to enter the God King Stage. They proved how valuable the Nirvana Dao Sand was to the entire God Domain. For such a precious item, how many people will go snatching for it once the Clear Ocean Path appear?" "Master, disciple wants to head to the Clear Ocean Path too. I want to help master find a Nirvana Dao Sand." Kong Man said with a firm tone. Qu You also hurried to express her wish to look for the Nirvana Dao Sand. Ling Menggu nodded. "Actually, I really do need your help regarding the Nirvana Dao Sand. Even though the Clear Ocean Path has no danger, the Nirvana Ocean is too peculiar for our liking. The higher the cultivation, the tougher it will be for someone to enter the bottom of the ocean. Even God Monarchs, let alone World Gods, will find it difficult to reach the bottom. Therefore, the majority of cultivators who will be heading to the Clear Ocean Path will usually be in the Nascent God or Heavenly God Stage." "Master, so why is the Nirvana Dao Sand able to allow a World God to enter the God King Stage?" Kong Man asked. Ling Menggu sighed and said. "Actually, we have to thank the two God Kings from the Nine Evolutions God Sect. The Clear Ocean Path appeared in the past countless times before. Even so, nobody in the God Domain thought about using the Nirvana Dao Sand to advance into the God King Stage. The dao aura of the Nirvana Ocean is so powerful that even God Kings wouldn''t dare to enter the waters. Who would have even thought about trying to gain insights from such a powerful dao aura? And the Nirvana Dao Sand is an item condense from the dao aura of the Nirvana Ocean. Rumours spread that the Nirvana Dao Sand had four different colours: Grey, Orange, Green and Purple. The two cultivators from the Nine Evolutions God Sect gained insights from the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. I''ve heard that the Green Nirvana Dao Sand can help a God Monarch advance into a World God and the purple can help one enter the God King Stage¡­" "Then wouldn''t the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand be of an exuberant price?" Kong Man thought about how much this Nirvana Dao Sand, which could help a World God step into the God King Stage, must have cost. Ling Menggu answered, "I believe you cannot even buy it from anywhere. After the discovery of the Nirvana Dao Sand, a lot of people were convinced that there were more colours than just these four colours. It was just that people had yet to discover them. "Then the Nine Evolutions God Sect must be really generous right? To think they would actually reveal the use of the Nirvana Dao Sand." Qu You exclaimed. Ling Menggu sneered, "Generous? The Nine Evolutions God Sect knew about the Nirvana Dao Sand for at least a hundred years now. The sudden emergence of two God Kings in their sect led to investigations from others. Otehrwise, we will not have find out that the Nirvana Ocean had something everyone needed." "That sect is certainly a trashy sect. I''ve even heard that the Heavenly Mortal Sect was exterminated by them." Kong Man commented. Ling Menggu shook her hand. "We shall not care about this for now. Both our God Kings went over to the border of the Nirvana Ocean. Let''s head over together with our sect head." Everytime the Clear Ocean Path appeared, a crowd of cultivators from the God Domain would head over. Even though no cultivators returned from the Nirvana Ocean before, there were still loads of cultivators hoping to be able to cross the God Domain via the Clear Ocean Path. Nobody bothered recording the number of times the Clear Ocean Path appeared in the God Domain. However, it was certain that there was never this many cultivators surging over. This was merely the beginning and with each passing day, even more cultivators arrived. This was because the news of the two God Kings of the Nine Evolutions God Sect had yet to spread on a large scale. Otherwise, the entire shore of the Nirvana Ocean would have been tightly packed with cultivators. "Brother Blazing Heaven, there is an increasing number of people coming over. We might have to control the crowd otherwise, it might turn into a muddled war." Ranked number 10 God King Clear Rise commented anxiously as he noticed a large number of cultivators heading here. God King Blazing Heaven was intending to step out to speak. However, now that God King Clear Rise was also worried, God King Blazing Heaven simply stood out to speak. "All the Dao Friends who are here to find the Nirvana Dao Sand, please line up in an orderly manner¡­" Just as God King Blazing Heaven finished the first sentence, a clear and white coloured stripe appeared on the Nirvana Ocean. This white stripe grew wider and longer by the second. Previously, the Nirvana Ocean didn''t even have a single ripple. Now that this white colour grew, ripples started to form. "The Clear Ocean Path is there!" A surprised voice could be heard and the crowd of cultivators rushed in frantically. At this moment, even the number one God King, God King Blazing Heaven was unable to stop the force of the crowd. He could only sigh and say. "God King Clear Rise, it seems like the next time the Clear Ocean Path appear, we will need to install an array here. We need some sort of order to allow people into the Clear Ocean Path in the future." God King Clear Rise hesitated for a while but didn''t reply. In all honesty, God King Clear Rise doesn''t approve of such method. The God Domain Nest was also set up in this way. How was the God Domain Nest now? Every time it incubated, only disciples of the big sects would be able to enter. Rogue cultivators remained as rogue cultivators and the smaller sects remained as smaller sects. They wouldn''t have any chances of entering the newly incubated God Domain Nest. This resulted in the disciples of the big sects growing stronger while the disciples of the smaller sects grew weaker. He was certain that if they used such a method to set up the Clear Ocean Path, only disciples of the big sects would be able to enter the Clear Ocean Path in the future. Rogue cultivators and disciples of the smaller sects would not have the same chance again. ¡­ It was already six months since Mo Wuji entered the Nirvana Ocean. He was still walking forward on the seabed while tempering his physique. While his fleshly body was still being tempered, Mo Wuji felt as though his body bumped into a shackle. No matter how he tempered his physique, his fleshly body seemed to be obstructed by this shackle. Mo Wuji had an immense feeling that as long as he was able to charge past this shackle, his physique would be in a new level. After walking down for another half a year, he sensed that he was still a long way from the very bottom of the ocean. Fortunately for him, he had the protection of the Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman. It was also good that his physique was still being tempered. With his current strength, he was still able to walk further into the depths of the ocean. While walking through the water, Mo Wuji was constantly on the lookout for signs of a sudden increase in pressure of the dao aura. He was afraid that the sudden increase might tear him apart without realising. To Mo Wuji''s astonishment, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared without a trace. Not only this, he could even sense the true energy within the ocean. What was going on? Mo Wuji came to a halt. Much to his pleasant surprise, he realised that he could start using his spiritual will here. Not only that, his spiritual will was able to extend over hundreds of miles away before being blocked off by the familiar waters of the Nirvana Ocean. Very soon, his spiritual will could continue extending outwards. The waters blocking off his spiritual will seemed to be retreating in both directions. The Clear Ocean Path appeared? Mo Wuji came to a realisation that the Clear Ocean Path must have appeared once more. This would be the only reason why he was feeling what he felt under the ocean. He tried to keep his Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman cautiously. Indeed, his sea of consciousness wasn''t affected. With the use of two pages of the Book of Luo, Mo Wuji decided to head out of the ocean to hurry away. He walked under the ocean for over half a year already. Even if a God King tried to chase after him, he wouldn''t catch up with him right? If a God King really did chase after him, he would simply abandon the Clear Ocean Path and jumped right back into the waters. Just as Mo Wuji was preparing to head up, his spiritual will sensed a small rock. This rock was slightly odd as Mo Wuji stretched over to pick it up. The rock appeared to have some sort of mottled energy and it looked worthless. With his spiritual will, Mo Wuji was able to look through the rock easily. Mo Wuji shook his head as he casually threw this rock back down. No, Mo Wuji picked up the stone once more. Indeed, when he picked up the rock for the second time, he realised that the energy of the rock became purer than before. Mo Wuji placed this rock in his palm as he used his spiritual will to observe this rock carefully. Two hours later, the spots on the rock disappeared as it turned green. Moreover, his spiritual will was no longer able to look into the rock as a mysterious dao aura surrounded the rock. This should be a decent item. As he was wondering if he could use this to forge equipments, he casually threw this rock into his storage ring. Chapter 943: Understanding The Truth Chapter 943: Understanding The Truth Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The Clear Ocean Path of the Nirvana Ocean had extended out for thousands of kilometers long, and only now did the speed of its expansion begin to slow down. Countless flying magic treasures followed the Clear Ocean Path into Nirvana Ocean, Midway, those flying magic treasures were kept away while countless cultivators charged into Nirvana Ocean like dumplings being dipped into oil. Some of the cultivators with a better idea of what they were doing charged deeper into the Nirvana Ocean before entering the water. At the borders of the ocean, shops had popped up, all of which were buying Nirvana Dao Sand at high prices. On top of that, they sold various kinds of water related magic treasures and antidotes. All sorts of ripples caused by magic treasures could be seen on the surface of the Clear Ocean Path. God King Blazing Heaven sighed at this sight. He knew that countless cultivators would die during this appearance of the Clear Ocean Path. While the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand gave one a certain change of entering the God King Stage, this was just a little positive point out of all the negative points of this venture. Two months passed, and cultivators streamed out of Nirvana Ocean continuously. After that, an increasing number of them began charging out of the water surface. For every cultivator that came out, there were many more that went forward to ask if he had obtained any Nirvana Dao Sand. Once the true value of Nirvana Dao Sand was revealed to all, very few cultivators were willing to take any out to sell. For those that did make it to the market, most of them were either grey or orange, and most cultivators would just disappear from the area completely. Seeing that more and more cultivators were bringing the Nirvana Dao Sand away, the shopkeepers of one of the shops couldn¡¯t help but shout, "Everyone, it¡¯s useless if you bring Nirvana Dao Sand away. Do you know how to use Nirvana Dao Sand? The process to use it is very complicated, and if everyone trusts our shophouse, you can sell it to us. We have sufficient god crystals and god pills that can help you advance to the next stage." These words stunned those who were about to leave, and one of them asked out of curiosity, "Isn¡¯t it just gaining insights into the Dao of the Heaven and Earth within the Nirvana Dao Sand? How else could we use it?" The shopkeeper laughed coldly, "If it were so simple, then it wouldn¡¯t have taken till today for people to discover the use for the sand?" "You¡¯re just scamming us. We just have to use some ritual techniques to remove the dao spots on the Nirvana Dao Sand and purify it before we directly delve into it." A cold snort came from behind, revealing the way to use Nirvana Dao Sand. Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper got a shock. In reality, he did not know how to use the Nirvana Dao Sand, so now that someone mentioned the way to utilise the sand, how would he dare to say another word? The method of utilising Nirvana Dao Sand was the secret of many large sects, and he had heard that this arrangement was agreed upon by many God Kings and set up by the Nine Evolutions God Sect. How was it appropriate for someone to randomly shout it out? The God Kings of various large sects stared at the cultivator that just spoke. As per their agreement, the method to use Nirvana Dao Sand was not to be leaked out. Even if it were to be leaked, that would have to wait till the large sects had benefited from the appearance of the Clear Ocean Path. However, someone randomly gave it away in front of countless cultivators. This was something they simply could not tolerate. "God King Mystery Spirit, that¡¯s quite an insight." God King Uncruel commented casually as he chuckled. The other God Kings couldn¡¯t do anything either because the person that spoke was God King Mystery Spirit. If it were anyone else, even if it was a God King, that person would have been killed by the collective force of many sects. Yet, God King Mystery Spirit was the exception. Even God King Blazing Heaven couldn¡¯t handle him, so which sect would dare to offend him? God King Mystery Spirit guffawed, "What can you do to me?" The expression on God King Uncruel¡¯s face was very ugly, and he did not say another word. Out of the 10 great God Kings of the God Domain, he was ranked third, and he was also the backer of Nine Evolutions God Sect, Phoenix Soul God Estate, and a few other sects. But no matter how strong he was, he dared not face up again God King Mystery Spirit. "Qu You, why have you come back as well?" Ling Menggu landed beside Qu You once she saw her arrive, but she was puzzled by Qu You¡¯s appearance. Qu You had a Primal God Lattice, so how could she have come out in two months? Qu You quickly explained, "Master, although the Clear Ocean Path has appeared in Nirvana Ocean, I felt like my dao was going to dissipate after two months inside. It wasn¡¯t only me, but everybody that came out. It would at least take a month of rest before I can enter again. "So that¡¯s why." Ling Menggu finally understood. No wonder the cultivators charged out of Nirvana Ocean. "Dao Friend Ling, it¡¯s been a long time." A warm and sweet voice was heard as an elegant man walked out. Beside him was a beautiful female cultivator no less prettier or stronger than Qu You. "Greetings Senior Aunt Ling, greetings Junior Sister Qu You." The ravishing female cultivator came forward to greet Ling Menggu and Qu You in a generous and respectful manner. Ling Menggu returned the greeting, "So it¡¯s Dao Friend Ping, it has indeed been quite a while. Feng Rou seems to be increasingly exceptional. You must have gained quite a lot from this Clear Ocean Path." The elegant man was called Ping Chunshan. He was from God Evolution Sect and had a similar cultivation level as Ling Menggu: stuck at the peak of Worldly God Stage Level 9. The female cultivator who could match up against Qu You in both looks and cultivation was Ping Chunshan¡¯s disciple, Feng Rou. Compared to the quiet Qu You, Feng Rou¡¯s network was much wider. All genius disciples of the large sects in God Domain seemed to have some sort of connection with her. Ping Chunshan chuckled, "It was my disciple that helped me find a grain of Purple Nirvana Dao Sand, which gave me a sliver of hope." This statement caused Ling Menggu¡¯s expression to change completely. As of now, she was about at the same cultivation level as him, so if he obtained a grain of Purple Nirvana Dao Sand, a gap would be created between them some years later. The God Evolution Sect¡¯s strength was even above that of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, and they also had the number one sect protecting array in the entire God Domain. Hence even if the grain of Nirvana Dao Sand was in Ping Chunshan¡¯s hands, no one would dare to come snatch it from him. Ling Menggu also knew what Ping Chunshan¡¯s intention for coming over and telling her this was: to give her dao heart a shock. While he appeared to be an elegant man, he was actually a very petty person, definitely not as magnanimous as his appearance reflected. "Junior Sister You..." Another surprising voice interrupted Ling Menggu¡¯s frustration as a dashing young man entered in a hurry. "Brother Yunqian." Feng Rou sounded even more surprised. It seemed like the young man had only just seen Feng Rou as he promptly apologised, "Oh, Junior Sister Rou¡¯Er is also around. I didn¡¯t notice you just now." After finishing his sentence, he quickly greeted Ling Menggu and Ping Chunshan, "Disciple Wang Yunqian greets Senior Uncle Ping and Senior Aunt Ling." Ling Menggu nodded slightly, while Ping Chunshan responded more enthusiastically. This was because Ping Chunshan had no choice. This young man was God Evolution Sect¡¯s number one genius, Wang Yunqian. Not only was he the number one genius of God Evollution Sect, he was also the number one genius in the entire God Domain. At this moment, he was already at God Monarch Level 7 and based on his rate of cultivation, it wouldn¡¯t be long before he entered the ranks of World Gods. The God Evolution Sect invested almost all their resources into cultivating Wang Yunqian. If nothing went wrong, he would very likely become the next sect head. Hence, even Ping Chunshan had to think twice before being disrespectful towards him. Feng Rou pouted, and spoke with a jealous tone that wasn¡¯t distasteful, "Since Junior Sister Qu You is here, how could Brother Yunqian still notice me." Not only was Wang Yunqian the top in talent, he was also the most handsome man in God Domain. In God Evolution Sect, he had the nickname ¡®Handsome Senior Brother¡¯. The number of female cultivators in God Domain that had a crush on Wang Yunqian was too many to be counted. Although Feng Rou could be considered to be one of the top genius disciples, she also secretly loved Wang Yunqian. However, he was already very infatuated with someone; Only one woman had a place in his heart: Forgotten Creek Dao School¡¯s Qu You. "I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll pay more attention next time." Wang Yunqian apologised again, but his gaze remained fixated on Qu You. Feng Rou¡¯s jealousy seemed to go as fast as it came, as she then smiled and said, "Brother Yunqian, you¡¯ll be disappointed to find out that Senior Sister Qu¡¯s heart has been stolen away by someone." These words made Wang Yunqian¡¯s face change completely, and before he could say anything, Feng Rou added on, "Isn¡¯t that right Senior Sister Qu? I heard that Mo Wuji is also coming to Nirvana Ocean to use the Clear Ocean Path to leave God Domain." At this point, Qu You¡¯s expression changed as well. This was something that only she and Mo Wuji knew, so how was Feng Rou aware of it as well? "How do you know this?" The moment these words left Qu You¡¯s mouth, she regretted it. Her experience paled far in comparison to Feng Rou¡¯s, thus this sentence of hers just served to confirm that Mo Wuji would come to Nirvana Ocean. After hearing Qu You¡¯s response, Feng Rou smiled slightly and stopped speaking. Qu Xi had told her this, and she would definitely not reveal that Qu Xi wanted to establish a good relationship with her. Somehow Qu You could understand what was going on. The dreams that she had out of nowhere when she last did closed door cultivation seemed rather suspicious all this while. Now that she looked back at it, that was definitely not some random event because Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t have told anyone else. The only way she could have leaked it out was that weird dream. "Master, did I have that dream previously because of some other reason?" Qu You suddenly spoke to her master, Ling Menggu, with a quivering voice while staring at her. With a sigh, Ling Menggu patted Qu You¡¯s hair as she replied, "Let the past be the past. You¡¯ve already condensed the Primal God Lattice, so it¡¯s fated that the both of you will not have anything to do with one another in the future." Qu You¡¯s hands suddenly felt cold, and even her body shivered. The kindness that Mo Wuji displayed towards her was something that she could never fully repay in her life time even as a cultivator. However, the people of her sect actually used her gratitude towards Mo Wuji to scheme against him. After such a long period of time being plotted against by God Kings, could Mo Wuji still survive? In that instant, she recalled something, and her voice trembled even more, "Master, why is Qu Xi locked on the Punishment Cliff?" In response, Ling Menggu shook her head, and lightly patted Qu You¡¯s back, "You have already guessed it, so why ask me. Qu You, your future is bright. For cultivators, if you¡¯re supposed to let something go then let it go." Now Qu You completely realised what was going on, and she questioned Junior Sister Kong Man who was standing at one side, "Junior Sister, tell me, did Mo Wuji come to Forgotten Creek Dao School to save me before?" Looking towards her master, Kong Man saw Ling Menggu nod, so she took out a crystal ball and passed it to Qu You, "Senior Sister, actually¡­" In the end, Kong Man didn¡¯t explicitly say the truth. Qu You grabbed the crystal ball, and when she saw the scenes of Mo Wuji coming to rescue her, Qu Xi ambushing him, and Mo Wuji falling for the ambush, turning into a bloodied mess, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Chapter 944: Undergoing Heavenly Tribulation Simultaneously Chapter 944: Undergoing Heavenly Tribulation Simultaneously Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji gave her the Primal God Lattice on top of saving her multiple times. When he heard that she was locked on the Punishment Cliff by the Forgotten Creek Dao School, he also risked his life to come to save her. In the end, her own sister ambushed him. Even if she disregarded all of this, it was still her that leaked out the news of his movement. How disappointed would Senior Brother Mo with her after he found out all of this? Perhaps in his eyes, she was a despicable woman who placed self-interest above everything else. Moreover, Senior Brother Mo was only at Nascent God, so no matter how he tried to escape, with those serious injuries, where could he hide from the reach of God Kings? At this point, the kind words of her sect¡¯s grandmasters, God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood, came to mind. Those two grandmasters gave her everything she needed in order to nurture her. As long as there was some cultivation resource that she required, it would be delivered to her. However, now both kind God Kings began to fade from her memories. Even though she didn¡¯t know if Mo Wuji treated her so well because he fell in love with her, she was sure that he did so as he was a person that valued relationships. It was because she saved his life that he gave her the Primal God Lattice and then risked his life to come to Forgotten Creek Dao School to save her as well. All of these actions were unrelated to any self-interest or intention to receive remuneration at all. Yet, the Forgotten Creek Dao School treated her so well ultimately because she had condensed the Primal God Lattice, hence she could bring about more benefits to the school in the future. This was simply a transactional relationship. If it were possible, she wouldn¡¯t have wanted the full support of the sect. Seeing Qu You spit out blood, Wang Yunqian quickly handed her a pill and said, "Junior Sister You, let bygones be bygones. You¡¯re about to push to advance to God Monarch, so you must take note not to allow your heart to be swayed." Qu You wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, appearing slightly pale. She reached out to push Wang Yunqian¡¯s pill away, "Thank you Senior Brother Wang, but I¡¯m fine." After a short pause, she added on, "Senior Brother Wang, thank you for viewing me favourably, but I already have someone that I love." She bowed slightly towards Wang Yunqian. The expression on Wang Yunqian¡¯s face immediately turned ugly. Previously, he had always found all sorts of reasons to get close to her, but she had never said something like this. Moreover, based on his understanding of Qu You, even if she had someone that she liked, she wouldn¡¯t say it out that easily. The only possible reason is that she was tired of him. Without caring about Wang Yunqian¡¯s expression, Qu You handed over a few grains of Nirvana Dao Sand to her master, "Disciple was useless and didn¡¯t manage to find any Purple Nirvana Dao Sand for master. Disciple¡¯s heart is in a mess and I don¡¯t have the heart to continue searching for Nirvana Dao Sand. Disciple will need to go out to train for a few years, master please allow it." In her heart, Ling Menggu sighed to herself. In reality, she couldn¡¯t do much about this. If Qu You did not condense the Primal God Lattie, she could still have some methods to deal with her. However, Qu You did so and became the hope of the sect, hence even as the sect head, she couldn¡¯t do anything to sway the meticulous care given to Qu You. "Go, if anything crops up, remember that you can contact me anytime." Ling Menggu didn¡¯t try to talk Qu You out of it. As a person at Heavenly God Level 9, she originally had to leave the sect for a period of training in order to enter the God Monarch Stage anyway. On top of that, Qu You¡¯s Primal God Lattice had already stabilised at Heavenly God Level 9, so even if it were experts who were beyond God King, they would not be able to take her god lattice away. "Thank you, master. Disciple has one last thing to ask." Qu You¡¯s voice began trembling at this point. Ling Menggu had also experienced this before, hence without Qu You speaking, she answered, "I have no news about him, so we probably didn¡¯t manage to block him in, don¡¯t worry." "Ok, disciple will leave now." Qu You heaved a sigh of relief, bowed once more, then turned and left swiftly. Since the few God Kings were not able to catch Mo Wuji, he obviously did not come to Nirvana Ocean. In her heart, she wished she could immediately find Mo Wuji and tell him not to come over. As Wang Yunqian gazed upon the figure of Qu You fading into the distance, his face turned a little pale. There were countless exceptional women in God Domain that wanted to be his dao partner, but he just had to fall for her. "Yunqian, Forgotten Creek Dao School has always been on good terms with God Evolution Sect, and we¡¯re both large sects of God Domain, so actually you just have to ask your sect head to represent you for this matter. You Senior Aunt Ling also hopes that you can become dao partners with Qu You. You don¡¯t have to worry." Pingg Chunshan was rather smart. Since Wang Yunqian could possibly become God Evolution Sect¡¯s sect head, he would naturally help Yunqian in any way he could now. After listening to Ping Chunshan¡¯s words, Wang Yunqian¡¯s eyes lit up. That¡¯s right, to large sects like God Evolution Sect and Forgotten Creek Dao Sect, issues of marriage naturally did not require him to take action on his own. These developments made the light in Feng Rou¡¯s eyes dimmer. Just like how Wang Yunqian was head over heels in love with Qu You, she felt the same towards him. As her love interest had openly displayed his love for Qu You in front of her, how could she calm her heart down? Suddenly, she really wanted to meet that Mo Wuji. What kind of person could actually give out a Primal God Lattice? Did this guy not need to cultivate? She couldn¡¯t understand how a cultivator could give a treasure like that away. ¡­ After the Clear Ocean Path appeared, Mo Wuji remained at the bottom of Nirvana Ocean for over two months to collect Nirvana Dao Sand. In that period of time, he managed to pick up over 10 grains of the sand, but he wasn¡¯t very clear about how to use them. While the Nirvana Dao Sand had some dao aura within in, he did not feel like he could gain insights with that aura. He had tried to do so before, however, due to the spotty nature of the dao aura in it, no insights could be gained. The only use for them was equipment forging. Mo Wuji cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, so without the pressure on spiritual roots and spirit channels, he would be able to continue staying in the ocean for countless years. But to him, his objective was to cross the Nirvana Ocean and head to the God Continent as soon as possible instead of wasting time here. Two months later, Mo Wuji exited the ocean, not because he couldn¡¯t take it anymore, but as he didn¡¯t want to remain at the seabed picking up rocks. Standing on the surface of the vast Nirvana Ocean, a refreshing breeze blew his way, and he felt a calm and happy feeling in his heart. The pent up frustration from being hunted down and his sect being wiped out had greatly dissipated by this point. The Clear Ocean Path was almost 10,000km wide, almost like a galaxy of its own, extending into the depths of the Nirvana Ocean. Mo Wuji knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to cross the Nirvana Ocean without taking a few decades. It was just beyond his level of patience to spend a few decades on this, hence he called out Shuai Guo and Da Huang to take turns steering a low grade flying ship in the skies above the Clear Ocean Path. Just as both of them appeared on the flying ship, the deep rumbling of thunder could be heard. This made Mo Wuji stare at the sky in disbelief. After undergoing heavenly tribulation on so many occasions, he was aware that this was the sound of an impending lightning tribulation. "Is it Da Huang or Shuai Guo undergoing heavenly tribulation?" Mo Wuji asked as he threw out array flags. The situation puzzled him somewhat. Regardless whether it was Da Huang or Shuai Guo, they had advanced to the same cultivation level as him, so why didn¡¯t he experience lightning tribulation when advancing to Nascent God? "My lord, of course it is I that is undergoing heavenly tribulation. I¡¯m about to advance to become a Godbeast." Shuai Guo exclaimed excitedly, at the same time rushing into the defensive array that Mo Wuji had set up. What shocked Mo Wuji the most was that Da Huang also replied casually, "Even a pig can advance to Godbeast after using that many god herbs and god crystals. So many years have passed and you¡¯ve only advanced to Godbeast Level 1, yet you still have the cheek to speak." The happy Shuai Guo was enraged by this round of shaming by Da Huang, "If you have the ability to, then undergo heavenly tribulation as well." With a chuckle, Da Huang replied, "You¡¯re right, I¡¯m going to undergo heavenly tribulation. I¡¯m about to enter Nascent God Level 1." "You¡¯re going to undergo heavenly tribulation as well?" Mo Wuji stared at Da Huang out of suspicion. "Yes my lord, I have completely integrated the Phecda Clay and am now an actual intelligent being." Da Huang proudly said as he patted his chest. "What about the artificial equipment spirit?" Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes instinctively turned towards Da Huang¡¯s chest. With a slightly excited voice, Da Huang replied, "My lord, the artificial equipment spirit has been totally melded with me. Now I have a mind palace, sea of consciousness, spirit channels and meridians. No more artificial equipment spirit." "Good, that¡¯s very good." Mo Wuji clenched his fist emotionally. Da Huang was created by him using Phecda Clay, and even though he borrowed the ability of an artificial equipment spirit at first, it was now integrated into Da Huang, which meant that Da Huang had become a complete life form. Regardless whether one compared him with a human or demon, there would be no different as he was no longer a puppet. Da Huang rubbed his hair and spoke with gratitude, "The credit goes to the Phecda Clay and my lord¡¯s Immortal Mortal Technique, I¡¯m only a supporting character." Mo Wuji calmed the excited Da Huang down with a few pats, "Da Huang, most of it was due to your efforts. Undergo the heavenly tribulation properly. Who knows, in the future, your achievements might be greater than mine." This was not just something he pulled out of the hat, as he was always aware of how hard Da Huang worked. Although both Da Huang and Shuai Guo were undergoing heavenly tribulation for advancing to the same cultivation level together, Da Huang put in 10 times more effort than Shuai Guo. In order to integrate the Phecda Clay, cause the artificial equipment spirit to disappear, and become a true life form, Da Huang had spent nearly all of his time cultivating. On the other hand, Shuai Guo relied completely on his bloodline inheritance to become a Godbeast. Even Shuai Guo had nothing to say about it because he knew how difficult the path that Da Huang took to get to this stage was. As long as Da Huang successfully underwent the heavenly tribulation, his achievements would likely leave Shuai Guo in the dust. Once he thought about being left behind, Shuai Guo also became determined to work harder. He could not be shadowed by Da Huang, otherwise, how could he still be the big brother? Mo Wuji threw out another low grade flying ship and set up an additional defensive array for heavenly tribulation. There were piles of low grade flying magic treasures in his possession, and while they were rather crudely made, all of them were made from good materials. "Boom Boom Boom!" Lightning bolts struck down from above, heading towards Shuai Guo and Da Huang. Chapter 945: Book Of Death Chapter 945: Book Of Death Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Shuai Guo and Da Huang¡¯s simultaneous heavenly tribulation, while not at the exact same location, caused the lightning to become fiercer. Thankfully, Mo Wuji was a Grade 3 God Array Master, hence even the defensive array that he set up in a hurry was one at the peak of Grade 2. Although it was eventually shattered, it had at least endured the lightning tribulation of both of them. Three days later, Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who had completed their lightning tribulations, landed on Mo Wuji¡¯s new flying ship full of energy. "My lord, I¡¯m a Level 1 Godbeast now." Shuai Guo proudly declared. No longer was Shuai Guo an ugly three legged bird as its body now gave off the menacing aura of a Godbeast. Its sharp mouth looked like it was a newly forged spear with a strong aura that seemed to be able to consume anything. Its feathers were like pieces of iron armor which gave its body a beautiful shine. The third horn on its head also didn¡¯t appear anything like a mosquito would have, and it exuded a strong fire type aura all over. "Da Huang, aren¡¯t I dashing." Shuai Guo landed in front of Da Huang full of pride. Da Huang paled greatly in comparison to Shuai Guo, retaining an ordinary appearance. He became a little rounder than before, but also much more ordinary than before. Regardless whether it was Shuai Guo or Da Huang, they were nurtured by Mo Wuji. On the surface, Shuai Guo seemed to have improved more, but in Mo Wuji¡¯s eyes, Da Huang appeared to be stronger. "My lord, I¡¯m now at Nascent God Level 1, and I believe that my rate of improvement will be greater in the future." Compared to Shuai Guo, Da Huang¡¯s was much more humble. "Good." Nodding his head, Mo Wuji took out two rings and passed them separately to Shuai Guo and Da Huang. "I¡¯m going to undergo closed door cultivation in the ship cabin for a period of time. You two take turns cultivating and steering the flying ship to continue heading down the Clear Ocean Path. Remember, once there¡¯s any danger, immediately stop the flying ship. All these years, there hadn¡¯t been any news of anyone that crossed the Nirvana Ocean, hence Mo Wuji didn¡¯t really believe that he could do so in one shot. Thus, he gave further instructions to Shuai Guo and Da Huang while secretly setting up a page from the Book of Luo to protect the flying ship. The 108 spirit channels and meridians of Da Huang were second to none, and Shuai Guo was a Godbeast with an inheritance from the primal times. Even if they were steering the flying ship, their cultivation probably wouldn¡¯t progress that slowly either. Da Huang¡¯s reaction was a little better, as Shuai Guo became the most excited after hearing that it could control the flying ship to cross the Nirvana Ocean. Although it was determined to cultivate previously, the motivation left as quickly as it had come. ¡­ After the flying ship was handed over to Shuai Guo and Da Huang, Mo Wuji set up an energy gathering god array and began cultivating. In the past few years, his cultivation level had stagnated, which he attributed to his worries affecting his dao heart. After all, he had been cultivating while on the run. At this moment, Mo Wuji thought that he did not have much to worry about, so he could cultivate in peace and probably enter Nascent God Level 4 very soon. However, what made him disappointed was that only his sea of consciousness and primordial spirit became a little more solid in the year that he underwent closed door cultivation, and his cultivation level still remained at Nascent God Level 3. He had problems even advancing to intermediate Nascent God Level 3, much less Nascent God Level 4. Upon inspection by Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will, he found out that Da Huang was already at advanced Nascent God Level 1 while Shuai Guo was also at intermediate Godbeast Level 1. This was achieved even while they took turns steering the flying ship, which made them neglect their cultivation somewhat. Otherwise, both of them would probably have advanced to the next cultivation stage by now. The only one that did not improve was him. Hence, Mo Wuji ceased any further cultivation. Under his current situation, there was no point in cultivating anymore. This wasn¡¯t simply an issue of having insufficient cultivation resources, but a problem with himself. If he couldn¡¯t identify this problem, his cultivation level would never be able to rise rapidly again. The sky above the Nirvana Ocean quietened down, with only Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship coursing through the air. Onboard, Mo Wuji, Shuai Guo, and Da Huang were settling their own issues. ¡­ Heavenly Mortal Sect sank back into a slump after rising up a few years ago when they produced God King Pang Jie. Compared to the days when they were teetering at the edge of collapse, their current form seemed to be even worse off. All of the mountain peaks that God King Pang Jie brought back and the temporarily buried god spiritual veins from back in the day were gone. The entire sect looked like it had been chewed through by a dog: completely ravaged. Yet, tens of Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate disciples were still at the sect seemingly searching for something. A black clothed young lady stood outside the Heavenly Mortal Sect with slightly red eyes. All this while, she didn¡¯t have a home to return to, and it was the Heavenly Mortal Sect that gave her the feeling of home. It was here that she met a senior brother that was almost like her own elder brother. It was here that she could cultivate in peace. Although this didn¡¯t even last for a year, this short period of time was the time when she felt the most worry free. She spent every moment of this period in closed door cultivation, which might have been rather tough, but at least she didn¡¯t have to worry about being taken away at any moment. However, all of this lasted for too short a period, to the point that it had ended before she could react. The Elder Brother Mo that had treated her as a younger sister, brought her along to cultivate, gave her a technique, and brought her into the God Domain¡¯s Nest had disappeared because he was being pursued by experts. After standing there for quite some time, the black clothed young lady suddenly placed a sacrificial altar onto the completely barren plaza of Heavenly Mortal Sect. Then, she entered the dilapidated sect, raising both her hands to form streams of black. With every black line that she shot out, it seemed to bring a world along with it. Mists of blood began bursting out in the world of black streams, and one by one human heads were taken by the black clothed young lady before they automatically flew onto the sacrificial altar that she set up. As the stack of heads piled higher, the tens of cultivators, and even the few cultivators at advanced Heavenly God could no longer put up a fight against the black streams. Within an incense¡¯s worth of time, all of the cultivators around were totally massacred by the lady. Once she finished taking all of the rings away, she took our a jug of wine and a few cups and placed them on the altar, before kneeling on the ground respectfully. "My Heavenly Mortal Sect Grandmaster, Elders, and fellow disciples rest in peace. Ku Cai came to visit all of you today. One day, Ku Cai will wipe out the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate and kill all those who attacked the Heavenly Mortal Sect. Ku Cai will also find Elder Brother Mo and help him restore the sect to its true glory." When she finished speaking, the black clothed woman kowtowed three times before getting up, staring at the already destroyed Heavenly Mortal Sect sect gate. A good two hours passed, then her figure suddenly became blurry and vanished completely. There weren¡¯t any spatial disturbances in the surrounding space, nor was there the aura of any laws. Even if there was someone here, he wouldn¡¯t be able to figure out how she left. ¡­ A few tens of disciples were killed at the remains of Heavenly Mortal Sect, and while those were ordinary disciples, having that many killed at once, together with the sacrificial altar set up in remembrance of Heavenly Mortal Sect, was definitely not a small issue. This incident immediately caught the attention of Nine Evolutions God Sect, Phoenix Soul God Estate, and many other large sects. Although it was the more crucial time to search for Nirvana Dao Sand in the Clear Ocean Path, a few large sects still sent numerous experts to investigate. After this occurrence, not only did the large sects send experts to look for the culprit, even the God Kings had begun making a move. Almost right after he heard this news, God King Blazing Heaven confirmed instantly that it was Mo Wuji that did it. Out of all the disciples that fled Heavenly Mortal Sect, only Mo Wuji had the ability to pull this off. God King Blazing Heaven originally wanted to look for Mo Wuji, hence since he obtained some news about Mo Wuji, he immediately dropped whatever he was doing at the Clear Ocean Path and rushed to Heavenly Mortal Sect. Before they could find any traces of Mo Wuji¡¯s whereabouts, instances of Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate disciples being killed kept occurring. There seemed to be some disciples of these two sects being killed every day. The strongest amongst those killed as even God Monarch Level 2. Following the continuous murder of Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate cultivators, both large sects still did not have any clue about what was going on and began to panic. If this situation persisted, how would anyone in the sects dare to go outside? Even God King Blazing Heaven started to suspect that the culprit wasn¡¯t Mo Wuji. How long had it been? No matter how fast Mo Wuji¡¯s cultivation level rose, however strong he was, he shouldn¡¯t have been able to kill a Level 2 God Monarch. As the God Kings couldn¡¯t even find the whereabouts of the murderer, the disciples of both sects became very fearful, not even daring to take a step outside. This unknown avenger of Heavenly Mortal Sect was now referred to as the Book of Death. As long as anyone from the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate of intermediate God Monarch and below, that participated in the destruction of Heavenly Mortal Sect, met the Book of Death, then there wasn¡¯t any chance of surviving. The Book of Death seemed to be an apparition, as no one ever knew where he would appear and who he would kill. No one also knew who he was and whether he was the Mo Wuji who was rumored to have given away a primordial god lattice. ¡­ Naturally, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t aware of all these happenings. He had been undergoing closed door cultivation on his flying ship over the Nirvana Ocean for four years. In this four years, his Array Dao broke through to Grade 4, which meant that he could easily set up a Grade 4 god array. Even his Talisman Dao had reached the level of a Grade 1 God Talisman Master, and he could create a Grade 1 God Talisman. Unfortunately, he did not have sufficient materials and his cultivation level was not high enough. Thus, there was no more progress after that. Without resources, he couldn¡¯t continue researching into Array Dao, and his cultivation level couldn¡¯t progress either. The only thing Mo Wuji could do was to start refining the Kun Wu Sword and the Book of Luo. On this day, he was refining the restrictions in the second layer of the Kun Wu Sword, when a sudden violent tremor reverberated through the flying ship. Before he went out, cries for help from Da Huang and Shuai Guo could be heard. How could Mo Wuji continue with his closed door cultivation? Immediately, he charged out to the open deck of the ship. ... Chapter 946: The Weird Turtle Shell Island Chapter 946: The Weird Turtle Shell Island Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A dense rain of rocks came down from above, smashing onto the defensive array of the flying ship. The larger rocks were many meters wide, while small ones were over 10cm in radius. Although a Grade 3 god array was set up on Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship, the ship began to wobble as though it could be broken at any moment. Da Huang and Shuai Guo drew out their magic treasures in preparation to deflect the falling rocks after the defensive array broke. "My lord, I don¡¯t know where these rocks are coming from. It can¡¯t be detected by spiritual will." As he saw Mo Wuji come out, Da Huang said after heaving a sigh of relief. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will swept out and indeed he could not pinpoint the origin of those rocks. The edge of his spiritual will could only see a blur. The surface of the Clear Ocean Path also seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, and the long ocean path could no longer be seen, almost like the dark red Nirvana Ocean had filled up the Clear Ocean Path once again. This made Mo Wuji frown. Based on what he knew, the Clear Ocean Path should disappear only a hundred years after it first appears. It had only been five to six years, so why did it disappear already? "My lord, there¡¯s an island." Shuai Guo exclaimed. Even before Shuai Guo shouted, Mo Wuji and Da Huang had seen it as well. There was indeed an island on the forward left side of the flying ship. The island was like a turtle shell that was placed on the water surface, with many cracks all over its surface. At the center of the island, there seemed to be an area that sunk downwards. "Let¡¯s continue talking on the island." Mo Wuji steered the ship to the vicinity of the island. With the density of rocks falling from above, even if there wasn¡¯t the issue of the Clear Ocean Path vanishing, the flying ship couldn¡¯t continue moving forward either. To other cultivators, the Clear Ocean Path vanishing would mean death. However, to Mo Wuji, it was a mere inconvenience. After all, he could just enter the sea. On the other hand, Shuai Guo and Da Huang weren¡¯t as capable, so once the Clear Ocean Path disappeared, both of them could only enter the Undying World. If they hadn¡¯t helped him to steer the flying ship and he had walked by himself, not only would the time he took increase by many times, he wouldn¡¯t have the time to research Array Dao and Talisman Dao. Moreover, Da Huang and Shuai Guo cultivated at a rather fast pace outside. In these few short years, Da Huang was in advanced Nascent God Level 3 while Shuai Guo had become Godbeast Level 2. The island wasn¡¯t situated that far away from the flying ship, hence they soon landed on the edge of it. When they landed, the falling rocks seemed to disappear completely, giving Mo Wuji the shock of his life. What was going on? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t leave the flying ship, instead, he tried to steer it to get off the island. However, once he reached a certain distance away from it, the dense rain of rocks began falling again. "My lord, those rocks seem to want us to stop on the island." Shuai Guo said worriedly, no longer wanting to compare cultivation levels with Mo Wuji. Initially, Shuai Guo still intended to compare himself with Da Huang. But Da Huang¡¯s rate of cultivating became faster over time, so it gave up on the idea, instead marking Mo Wuji as its next target. All this while, its cultivation level paled in comparison with his, but now finally it had caught up. This was originally something to celebrate, and it had already planned for this to wait until its lord had praised him. However, with the current situation, it was too worried to do anything of that sort. While Da Huang had some level of intelligence, his intelligence was insufficient, so he was not as smart as Shuai Guo. The life experiences that Shuai Guo had was also much more than him, as it had even been caught for its blood to be drained once. Hence, before he could sense that something was wrong, Shuai Guo had already beat him to it. "You¡¯re right, this should be a giant array. The aim of this array is to force us to land on this turtle shell like island. You two, enter my Undying World first." Mo Wuji was still much more experienced than Shuai Guo, with his adventures bringing from the cultivation world to the Half Immortal Domain, Immortal World, etc, so he had seen many more devious tricks and dangerous situations. How could he not realised that something was off about this island? Shuai Guo and Da Huang didn¡¯t dare to utter a word even though their cultivation level was about the same as Mo Wuji. They knew that if there was really some danger present, they wouldn¡¯t be able to help with their current cultivation. Their lord could at least escape into the Nirvana Ocean, and they would just wait for death on the outside. After Mo Wuji brought both of them into the Undying World, he kept the flying ship and landed on the Turtle Shell island. Upon taking the first step onto the island, Mo Wuji could feel a weird aura present. This island was very unusual, as there were no rocks, trees, or even a single blade of grass. Only crisscrossing cracks on the island''s surface could be seen. When Mo Wuji extended his spiritual will into those cracks, he could see everything inside very clearly. In the cracks, there were countless skeletons, discarded magic treasures, and even some rings¡­ Could it be that those cultivators that failed to cross the Nirvana Ocean died here? Then their skeletons got blown into the cracks of the island by the wind? Mo Wuji cautiously took one of the rings, but before he had the chance to break the ring¡¯s restrictions, a chill ran through his entire body. It seemed like boundless and invisible threads of ice had locked him in place and was dragging him forward. A tingling feeling spread through him, and without any hesitation, Mo Wuji used the Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman to protect his sea of consciousness, while levitating the Kun Wu Sword over the violet lake. When a suction force came in his direction, Mo Wuji felt like the violet lake in his sea of consciousness was about to be sucked away, hence he couldn¡¯t help it but follow in the direction of it. Countless cold auras that tried to draw him in were blocked out by the Sage Dao Talisman and Book of Luo in his sea of consciousness, which allowed him to finally control his body again. Those icy threads that latched onto him disappeared after seemingly not being able to find a point to exert force on. Taking a deep breath, Mo Wuji had some idea of what was going on. This was about the same situation as before the Clear Ocean Path appeared. The icy thread like thing that wanted to latch onto him was some sort of dao aura. However, as he did not possess spiritual roots or spirit channels, the aura couldn¡¯t find anywhere on him to latch on. The suction force that entered his sea of consciousness was similarly trying to drag his primordial spirit away and tear open his sea of consciousness. But he didn¡¯t have a primordial spirit, only a violet lake, and there were the Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman that protected him. On top of that, the Kun Wu Sword was also there. It was thanks to these magic treasures that he was still safe and able to regain control of his body. As he stood on the edge of the island, Mo Wuji saw the crater at the center. The urge to go over to take a look at what was inside suddenly surged in his heart. He couldn¡¯t help but feel like something good was at the island¡¯s center. After hesitating for a few tens of breaths, he finally decided to make his way over. A horse wouldn¡¯t grow fat without wild grass, so how could there be good stuff that was delivered straight into one¡¯s hands? Based on Mo Wuji¡¯s judgment, someone had set up this Turtle Shell Island and that person probably couldn¡¯t move freely. If that person could do so, he wouldn¡¯t have had to use that sort of primordial spirit snatching method, instead, he could just have thrown an elemental energy palm at Mo Wuji. The thing that Mo Wuji was most curious about was why he hadn¡¯t felt any danger of dying so far. Due to his cultivation being based on the Immortal Mortal Technique, every time he was close to dying, he would have some sort of sixth sense about it. Just as he thought of this, Mo Wuji¡¯s vision became blurry, and as though as his spirit channels had been locked and his primordial spirit controlled, he continued walking forward. His speed was rather slow, as he would use his spirit storage channel to carve some runes with every step he took. Other than that, he was ready to use the Wind Escape Technique to escape at any moment. In his hand was also a Grade 3 spatial god escape talisman, a Grade 3 talisman obtained from the Sage Dao Talisman. Although the Turtle Shell Island wasn¡¯t that large, it took him over two hours to reach the center. Mo Wuji originally planned peer into the crater from the edge, but when his foot landed there, a terrifying force came his way, and without any ability to fight back, he fell straight in. A gigantic pill floated in front of Mo Wuji. It was about the size of a basketball, and this was the first time he had seen a pill that large. The pill was slightly red with dense vital blood aura circulating around its surface. When Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will came in contact with its surface, a wild, yet pure, elemental energy of vital blood came rushing over. Immediately, Mo Wuji drew his spiritual will away and his gaze landed on the bottom of the pill. There was a stone mortar below the pill, and many bones lay at its side. Some rings were hidden in the piles of bones. Every single one of these shriveled up bones gave off a very strong aura. Hence, without knowing who those dead people were, Mo Wuji could guess that they were top notch experts when they were alive. Thankfully, he had been protected by the Book of Luo and Sage Dao Talisman, and with his 108 meridians circulating as per the Immortal Mortal Technique, this stone mortar, which seemed to be able to pull all sorts of sources of spiritual energy to it, had a minimal effect on him. At least, it wasn¡¯t something he couldn¡¯t resist. After another round of inspection, Mo Wuji threw out many array flags as he confirmed that there wasn¡¯t anything else around here. This large pill filled with vital blood was definitely a valuable treasure, so it had to be kept away. The stone mortal that could attract and absorb sources of spiritual energy wasn¡¯t simple either. "You¡¯re not that simple. You have no primordial spirit or spiritual roots, and you could even come here." A bone chilling voice echoed out. But what shocked Mo Wuji the most was that the voice came from the stone mortar. "Who are you?" He couldn¡¯t bother about what this danger was anymore, and with a wave, the Kun Wu Sword appeared in his hand. "The Kun Wu Sword?" The voice in the stone mortar became more excited, but this excitement only lasted for a short while before it said, "Young man, put down the Kun Wu Sword and kowtow here 49 times, then I¡¯ll spare your life." Chapter 947: What Do You Want? Chapter 947: What Do You Want? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji was enraged to the point that he laughed. Killing intent on the Kun Wu Sword burst out instantly, and the ground beneath them turned chilly. The area around the sword became a killzone. "You dare to attack me? I¡¯ll swallow you alive." An angrier voice echoed out from the stone mortar, as though as it had been completely triggered by the actions of a seemingly ant-like Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji, who was initially filled with killing intent, suddenly calmed down. This old fogey had killed countless people here, and the gigantic vital blood pill was very likely condensed from the vital blood of those cultivators. Why would this old fogey be angry at him for attacking? There were so many skeletons around, and if each of them had caused the stone mortar to become enraged, it would probably have died from anger by now. Moreover, it could recognise the Kun Wu Sword after he revealed it, showing a moment of happiness before asking him to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. Even if it were a Nascent God cultivator, he wouldn¡¯t do so without any pressure right? If the old fogey was just trying to infuriate him and trick him into attacking, then it must have come from the God World¡¯s Hollywood. Regardless, Mo Wuji swung his Kun Wu Sword out, but the full strength of the blade had been reduced by half. Although Mo Wuji was only at Nascent God Level 3, and he had withdrawn half of his strength, the killing intent of the Kun Wu Sword still seemed to exert a world-breaking pressure, flying at the stone mortar with an aura of death. At the same time, Mo Wuji took out a page of the Book of Luo to protect himself. "Crack!" A terrifying killing strike shot out from the stone mortar with great pressure, almost causing Mo Wuji to vomit blood. It transformed into blood blades over 10m in length and many metres in breafth which tore through the space between them and flew towards him. The Kun Wu Sword¡¯s killing intent was very strong, but in the face of these pressurising blood blade, it seemed as thin as a sheet of paper. After it was disintegrated, the blood blade broke through Mo Wuji¡¯s whirlpool domain without being affected and landed straight on the Book of Luo. "Pui!" Mo Wuji spat out an arrow of blood while he flew backward, landing on the study border behind him before spewing out a few more arrows of blood. Even though he had the protection of the Book of Luo and a physical body at the Great Circle of God Physique, all of his bones had shattered, and his primordial spirit was in tatters. In his heart, Mo Wuji was secretly afraid. He couldn¡¯t understand why there was someone strong enough to kill him here but he didn¡¯t sense the danger. It seemed that his sixth sense had times when it would fail. If he hadn¡¯t felt that something was wrong with this old fogey and reduced the power of his Kun Wu Sword as a result while secretly taking out the Book of Luo to protect himself, that blood blade could have torn him to bits. This was because he wouldn¡¯t have had the time to take the page of the Book of Luo out by the time the blood blade reached him. "Book of Luo?" The stone mortar¡¯s shocked voice echoed out once more, and this time, Mo Wuji knew that it was out of real shock, definitely not the kind of faked emotion when it saw the Kun Wu Sword. "You¡¯re really impressive to be able to save your life with the Book of Luo while striking with full force using the Kun Wu Sword." The voice in the stone mortar seemed to calm down, without any of the rage or pride that was there before. Mo Wuji¡¯s strength greatly surpassed that of ordinary Nascent God cultivators, hence even when he struck with only half strength, from the perspective of the existence inside the stone mortar, he was going at full force. There weren¡¯t any healing pills on Mo Wuji, so he could only chew on a stalk of Rain Storing God Grass and swallow it, then use his vitality channel to begin recovering. The existence inside the stone mortar either feared Mo Wuji as he had pages of the Book of Luo, or for some other reason unknown, and did not continue its assault on him while he recuperated. An hour passed by, and as his injuries had mostly healed, Mo Wuji stood up. Based on his instincts, it was very difficult to leave this place. He would have to negotiate with this guy inside the stone mortar that seemed to only have an elemental spirit in order to leave. When he stood up, the voice from the stone mortar spoke again, "You have met with great opportunities and you also have good fate. Not only do you possess the Book of Luo, but also the Kun Wu Sword. For someone that has fate and opportunities as you, if I continue attacking, I¡¯d probably still be unable to kill you right?" Holding the Kun Wu Sword in hand, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t make any moves. He knew that even if he went all out, it wouldn¡¯t be able to match up against the existence inside the stone mortar. As for the statement made by the voice from the stone mortar, he didn¡¯t believe a single word of it. "If you want to attack, attack all you want. If you aren¡¯t going to attack, I¡¯m going to start setting up arrays. All I have is time, and I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t deal with an old fogey like you." Mo Wuji¡¯s tone was similarly calm as he suspected that the old fogey in the stone mortar could only strike with full strength once. Precisely because of that, it had to bait him into attacking full strength so that it could kill him in one shot. However, Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t an idiot, so he stealthily took out the page of the Book of Luo, and left half of his elemental energy to block his opponent¡¯s one time attack. Regardless whether the other party could still attack, he didn¡¯t intend to attack anymore. Instead, he intended to slowly cook this frog. "You¡¯re very smart, and if you are willing to listen to me, we can still discuss this. Otherwise, it isn¡¯t very beneficial for you." The voice inside the stone mortar also became warmer. Mo Wuji responded casually, "I don¡¯t really believe that as a Grade 6 God Array Master, I can¡¯t deal with a spirit like you." Although he had only just entered the ranks of Grade 4 God Array Masters, after observing his opponent¡¯s blood blade, Mo Wuji no longer wanted to fight it head on. Who could confirm that his opponent would not continue to throw out blood blades when fighting for its life? Hence when he spoke, he magically increased his Array Dao¡¯s grade by 2. "Wait, you should think that I can only attack with one blood blade right. Let me tell you frankly if I deplete by elemental energy, I can still shoot out a few more. You can block the first one, the second one, but can you block the third? Even if you have the Book of Luo, you won''t be able to¡­" Mo Wuji became silent. He knew that this stone mortar spirit was right: he couldn¡¯t block them. The first one had almost taken him out, so if his opponent wanted to fire off two more blood blades in a desperate attempt, he couldn¡¯t take it even with the Book of Luo. It wasn¡¯t because the Book of Luo wasn¡¯t good enough, but as he had not completely refined it, and his strength was simply too low. Seeing Mo Wuji keeping quiet and no longer spreading out array flags, the voice in the stone mortar added on, "I don¡¯t want anything from you, and I¡¯ll even let you go. I believe that you know that this is my territory, and if I don¡¯t allow you to leave, even if you try to perish with me, you still won¡¯t be able to leave." "That¡¯s it?" Mo Wuji asked. "What else do you want?" The voice inside the stone mortar seemed to be a little angry. Inside his heart, Mo Wuji was rather unsatisfied. Who knew how many times he had used this kind of negotiation tactics. "What you mean is that after I came in and am about to be sent out by you, I won¡¯t get a single item?" As he spoke, Mo Wuji swept up over 10 rings lying on the ground. "That¡¯s enough, you¡¯ve already taken that many rings away. There¡¯s good stuff inside those rings. You can go now." The voice inside the stone mortar repeated again. "I picked up these rings from the ground, so what does it have to do with you? I initially planned to set up a trap array to slowly kill you since you lured me in and made me¡­" Halfway through his sentence, Mo Wuji stopped as his spiritual will had broken through the restrictions and found out that the rings he had just picked up were completely empty. "Very good, the items in the rings had all been taken away by you. Since I can¡¯t get anything, then there¡¯s no deal, please continue throwing out your blood blades." Mo Wuji¡¯s page of the Book of Luo was taken out, and the Kun Wu Sword turned into a blade screen to protect him. After that, the array flags in his hands continuously flew out, obviously setting up a deathtrap array and a god sealing array. "Stop!" The spirit inside the stone mortar obviously recognised the trap array Mo Wuji was setting up and shouted out. Yet, not only did Mo Wuji continue, he also started throwing countless lightning bolts at the stone mortar while setting up the deathtrap array. As the lightning bolts landed on the stone mortar, he could feel the spirit in there tremble. In his heart, he chuckled to himself. So that guy was afraid of lightning strikes. He then threw out another two bolts of lightning, one at the stone mortar, the other at the giant vital blood pill floating above it. When the lightning struck the giant vital blood pill, it created a bloody mist around it. "Stop immediately, if you dare to attack my pill again, I¡¯ll take you down with me even if it means waiting for another billion years." The voice in the stone mortar ordered furiously and streams of raging aura rose up from it. It never expected that Mo Wuji was actually a lightning cultivator. This time, Mo Wuji stopped attacking. He could sense that the spirit inside the stone mortar was really angry now. On top of that, its words were also true, which meant that the giant vital blood pill was very important to it. This pill could very likely be made from the vital blood and elemental energy of countless cultivators that arrived on the Turtle Shell Island. As for what the spirit in the stone mortar wanted it for, Mo Wuji guessed that it was for something along the lines of recovery. Seeing that Mo Wuji ceased attacking, the spirit in the stone mortar heaved a sigh of relief, and spoke, "What do you want?" "I¡¯m lacking in cultivation resources. If you give me a few hundred million top grade god crystals, and a couple tens of thousands of top grade and peak grade god spiritual vein, it¡¯ll be just enough." Mo Wuji replied with an equally casual tone. Chapter 948: You’re Scheming Indeed Chapter 948: You¡¯re Scheming Indeed Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This time it was the spirit¡¯s turn to be angered to the point of laughing, "A few hundred million top grade god crystals, a few tens of thousands of god spiritual veins, do you think that they are as common as rocks on the ground? I won¡¯t lie to you, all of the god crystals and god spiritual veins have been used up by me and not a single one is left." "Then let¡¯s go our own ways." Mo Wuji opened his hands and lightning bolts began forming in them. "Wait, I see that you don¡¯t have any pills, and have to resort to directly consuming god spiritual herbs. Here are some pills for you." After speaking, it gave a jade bottle to Mo Wuji. However, he did not bother catching the jade bottle, allowing it to clatter onto the ground. "What¡¯s the meaning of this?" The stone mortar spirit was a little unhappy. With a cold chuckle, Mo Wuji replied, "If I give you any pills now, will you dare to eat them?" "No wonder you could survive until now, you¡¯re really very careful. Would I have to use poison pills to take care of an ant like you?" This pissed off the stone mortar spirit thoroughly. Would it have to actually poison a Nascent God? Still, Mo Wuji responded calmly, "One must not have the intention to hurt others, but one must always have one¡¯s guard up against others. If I didn¡¯t have a certain level of ability, I¡¯d have been killed by other¡¯s blood blades a long time ago." As he spoke, the lightning aura of the lightning bolts in his hands became denser. "Okay, there was an excellent pill god that passed by here, and he left a pill furnace and some pill refining jade slips. I¡¯ll give them to you. Once you¡¯ve mastered them, you¡¯ll never have to eat god spiritual herbs directly ever again." The stone mortar spirit was a little sarcastic as it reached the end of its sentences. Following which, a ring was thrown to Mo Wuji. Without caring about anything, Mo Wuji casually caught the ring and sent his spiritual will into it. When he saw that there were many pill recipe jade slips and an encyclopedia of pill refining knowledge, various god spiritual herbs, and some rare and unique god spiritual herbs, his heart began to beat really fast. This was exactly what he needed. After arriving in the God World, he was not able to refine any pills at all. On top of not recognising many god spiritual herbs, he didn¡¯t know any pill refining techniques or pill recipes for god pills. But now everything had been delivered to his doorstep, which made him extremely excited. As for that worn out pill furnace, it was completely ignored. Even so, Mo Wuji kept the ring expressionlessly, "Pill refining? I¡¯m not really that ambitious. Can anyone that wants to refine pills do so just because they want to? However, these items in the ring can be exchanged for some god crystals, so I¡¯ll graciously take them. But these items are not enough." This was not bullsh*t on Mo Wuji¡¯s part. If he didn¡¯t cultivate with the Immortal Mortal Technique, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to learn pill refining. Not only did pill refining require talent, but also large amounts of resources and time. To become a pill refiner, one had to first be wealthy, otherwise, you couldn¡¯t even think about learning the skill. Secondly, you had to have the aptitude for cultivation, or else your lifespan would be completely used up before your Pill Dao even formed. Thirdly, you also had to be talented in pill refining. None of these factors could be missing. Upon hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, the stone mortar spirit surprisingly didn¡¯t rebut him, instead, it took out another ring and threw it to Mo Wuji while saying, "There are many magic treasures in there. You can choose any one keep for yourself." In response, Mo Wuji flared up, "You¡¯re scheming indeed." The stone mortar spirit spoke with a little coldness in his voice, "How am I scheming? Even the lousiest magic treasure that I presented to you was a mid grade god equipment. I don¡¯t believe that you dare to roam around while waving something like the Kun Wu Sword." Mo Wuji replied casually, "Those magic treasures were obtained by killing others right. Did you want me to use them and borrow other¡¯s blades to kill me when the acquaintances of those you killed see me with it? Was I wrong to call you scheming?" "You¡­" The stone mortar spirit really did not think that deeply, and when it heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words, it almost couldn¡¯t catch its breath. "Good, then pass me that ring, I¡¯ll give you something else. " It seemed like the stone mortar spirit was rather fearful of the lightning bolts in Mo Wuji¡¯s hands, so it could only swallow its anger once more. Raising the ring up, Mo Wuji spoke, "I definitely can¡¯t hand these things over to you. If you hide a few magic treasures in my ring again that I don¡¯t discover, and they¡¯re recognised by some people familiar with them, I¡¯ll be dead. I¡¯m planning to throw all of these away somewhere else. I can¡¯t allow you to continue sabotaging me." "Okay, okay¡­" The stone mortar spirit repeated this a few times. If it had a body, it wouldn¡¯t be able to ensure that it would not be angered to the point of spewing up a few mouthfuls of blood. "If you¡¯re really sincere, why don¡¯t you give me all of the smithing materials. I¡¯ll learn smithing myself, and perhaps one day I¡¯ll be able to forge a couple of peak grade god equipment to use." Mo Wuji interrupted the stone mortar spirit¡¯s anger. The stone mortar spirit raged on, "Don¡¯t you know that smithing won¡¯t take less time than pill refining? If you don¡¯t have the drive to refine pills, how could you have the drive to smith?" As if this didn¡¯t matter, Mo Wuji calmly replied, "There¡¯s no issue, don¡¯t you know what¡¯s a hobby? I¡¯m not aiming to forge any good quality magic treasures. Can¡¯t I just do some smithing whenever I¡¯m free to build my character?" A few moments ago, he just said that he wanted to forge a few peak grade god equipment to use, but now he turned around to say that he didn¡¯t hope to make anything good. This definitely ticked the stone mortar spirit off till it almost went crazy. But when it thought of Mo Wuji¡¯s terrifying lightning bolts, it still took out a ring and passed it to him. After that, it wouldn¡¯t talk anymore. If Mo Wuji was greedy beyond measure, then they¡¯ll just fight it out. It could still get rid of this little greedy ant, and at most, it would cost a few million years of effort. Once his spiritual will landed on the ring, he saw that there were mountains of high grade smithing materials inside, which made him almost want to shout out in joy. This was precisely what he lacked at the moment, and these materials were very valuable items in the God Domain. How could he not be happy after receiving so much at once? Although he was elated, Mo Wuji still kept the ring together with the lightning bolts without becoming flustered. "Send me away. This Turtle Shell Island is not bad. I¡¯ll find a place to settle down on the island and begin learning smithing." MO WUji said as he kept the array flags. "What else do you want?" The stone mortar spirit couldn¡¯t conceal its emotions anymore. Impatiently, Mo Wuji said, " This Nirvana Ocean is so scary, and it was by pure luck that I was able to come here. Truthfully, I¡¯ve regretted crossing the ocean long ago. Now that I¡¯ve painstakingly found this island, I''ll at least cultivate till God Monarch before leaching. Moreover, I¡¯m very violent, so only this location is suitable for me to cultivate in." Even though it knew that Mo Wuji was spouting nonsense, the spirit in the stone mortar couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Unless it really severed its ties with him, but how could it do so when it was on the brink of success? Suppressing the rage inside, the stone mortar spirit threw out a location plate, "There¡¯s a transfer array at the location marked by a red dot on the location plate. The array will be able to directly transport you across the Nirvana Ocean." "It can¡¯t be sending me back right? I spent so much effort coming here from the God Domain." Mo Wuji excitedly thought to himself as he took the location plate. With a cold snort, the stone mortar spirit added on, "If you want to cross the Nirvana Ocean, it will take a few more decades, while this transfer array can easily send you to the other side." It swore that once it regained its powers, the first person it killed would be this tiny Nascent God ant before it. Although back in the day it had enemies who ground its physical body to dust, they seemed cute when compared to this Nascent God ant. "If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll bid you farewell. If there isn¡¯t a transfer array, I¡¯ll come back to keep you company." Mo Wuji¡¯s body disappeared with a flash, together with the oppressive aura in the surroundings, after speaking. He soon charged out of the central crater of the Turtle Shell Island easily. Once he was out, Mo Wuji used a low grade god equipment to fly to the place marked by the red dot on the location plate. Although he had almost died at the hands of that stone mortar spirit, the benefits he managed to reap were immense. The pile of pill refining jade slips was enough to make him satisfied, what more if those mountains of high grade smithing materials were added to the mix. Indeed, the stone mortar spirit wasn¡¯t lying. Three days later, Mo Wuji¡¯s flying ship stopped as it arrived at its destination. After keeping the flying ship, he dove straight into the ocean. The transfer array was a the bottom of the Clear Ocean Path, so Mo Wuji had to spend a good half a day to reach it. When he reached the bottom, he could see the transfer array. It was made of some unknown materials, and who knew how long it had lasted here, but there weren¡¯t any traces of degradation. On top of that, the materials used to make it were mostly unfamiliar to Mo Wuji. After he stepped onto the transfer array, he knew that he had forgotten one thing. The transfer array required top grade god crystals to run, and did he have any? That spirit didn¡¯t give a single one. Left without a choice, Mo Wuji could only take out that high grade god spiritual vein that Qu You gave him. Array flags were deployed out one by one which guided all of the god spiritual energy from the high grade god spiritual vein into the few transfer spiritual troughs in the transfer array. What made Mo Wuji the most shocked as that, when the transfer array was activated, the god spiritual energy from the high grade god spiritual vein formed small whirlpools which were sucked away by the transfer array. The spiritual vein was being used up a rate visible to one¡¯s eyes. As the light around the transfer array became brighter, Mo Wuji was finally whisked away by a bundle of light, completely disappearing from the bottom of the Nirvana Ocean. Chapter 949: Farming Chapter 949: Farming Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even with Mo Wuji''s cultivation level, he felt a strong dizzy sensation, which reflected how far a distance he was traveling. By the time he woke up again, he was already in the center of a transfer array. Without exiting the array, his spiritual will immediately scanned outwards. This seemed to be an underground stone house. The house did not have a door outside, but instead, there was a layer of restrictions that blocked off spiritual will. Beyond the restriction were soil and rocks. Due to the presence of the restrictions, his spiritual will could not stretch out any further. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. This was probably an area that had not been visited for a very long period of time. After confirming that there was no danger, he walked out of the transfer array and the spiritual will blocking restrictions, taking out an Earth Escape Talisman at the same time. Out of the elemental escape techniques, Mo Wuji only knew the Wind Escape Technique. Hence, for him to move through the earth, he could only borrow the power of an Earth Escape Talisman. An hour later, he emerged from the surface of the ground. The land that he stood on was a barren manor which had broken walls all around, which made it appeared very run down. Even though it was the middle of the day, the area still appeared rather shady. The scene before him reminded him of the Lightning Sword Manor as it seemed like no one had come it after someone wiped out the entire sect or organisation. His spiritual will swept out once more, and as expected the surroundings were very barren. Only a few hundred meters ahead was there a long river. With a casual motion, Mo Wuji plucked out a stalk of Rain Storing God Grass, a Tier 2 god spiritual herb. Since this manor had Tier 2 god spiritual herbs, it must have been not simple. Just as he wanted to leave the manor, a flying car suddenly roared past, stopping right in front of it. A ravishing woman walked out of it, and once she came out, he began heading towards the manor. When she did so, she immediately saw Mo Wuji who was about to walk out. "What are you doing here?" The beautiful woman asked one question and she figured out what Mo Wuji was here for. Her gaze fell on the stalk of Tier 2 god spiritual herb, Rain Storing God Grass, in his hands. Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully, "I saw that there were some god spiritual herbs here, so I wanted to come in to take a look. I didn''t know that this is elder sister''s territory. I just arrived here, and only took a stalk of Rain Storing God Grass." Elder sister? When the beautiful woman heard Mo Wuji address her, her eyes turned slightly red. How long had it been since someone called her ''elder sister''? As her spiritual will scanned past in an instant, she confirmed that he was speaking the truth. This was because there was indeed only one stalk of Rain Storing God Grass that was plucked out by him. "You came to the Mei Clan Manor alone to find god spiritual herbs, are you not afraid?" The beautiful woman asked as she was puzzled. Afraid? Mo Wuji returned the question, "Elder sister, but there are no barricades here. Does that mean that cultivators are not allowed to enter the area to look for god spiritual herbs? I''ll leave immediately." The beautiful woman replied with a smile, "It''s nothing much. You shouldn''t be a cultivator from around here right?" In response, Mo Wuji quickly nodded, "Yes, I''m a rogue cultivator from very far away. My talent for cultivation is very low, and I''m looked down upon by others, so I left to a place far away from my hometown hoping that I can create a miracle for myself." "Hope that I can create a miracle for myself¡­" Upon hearing Mo Wuji''s words, the beautiful woman repeated them in a mumble. Following which, she went into deep thought, as though she had suddenly thought of something. Based on his sensing, this beautiful woman''s cultivation level was likely God Monarch, hence he dared not carelessly leave. Moreover, there were a few female servants that followed her here, and they stood waiting by the flying car outside the manor. Thankfully she regained her senses rather quickly, and her gaze that fell on Mo Wuji softened up much more, "There''s nothing wrong about being untalented, I hope that you can preserve this mindset of searching for a miracle of your own. If you don''t mind, you can join our Minor High Firmament Sect." Join the Minor High Firmament Sect? Mo Wuji was shocked by the offer. Was this really the God Continent? Sects in the God Continent were this easy to join? One could join a sect as he pleased? Why was there the need to have a ''Minor High Firmament Sect'' instead of a plain ''High Firmament Sect'' too? The beautiful woman knew that Mo Wuji must have misunderstood her words, so she explained with a slight smile, "Your spirituality isn''t very obvious, so it must mean that your spiritual roots are of very low quality. By join, I didn''t mean for you to join as a disciple of the Minor High Firmament Sect, but to help the sect plant spiritual rice and some ordinary god spiritual herbs." So that''s how he would join the sect. In the end, it was just the position of an errand boy. As for the ''if you don''t mind'' that she said, Mo Wuji ignored it completely. It was said out of consideration for his ego, and it seemed like there was serious competition for the position of planting god spiritual grass and rice for Minor High Firmament Sect. As he thought of the fact that he had just arrived here, and his cultivation level was stuck, Mo Wuji agreed after a short moment of hesitation, "Thank you elder sister for giving me this opportunity. I''m willing to join the Minor High Firmament Sect." Could this even be considered an opportunity? The beautiful woman evaluated Mo Wuji with a gaze once more. Although she had only exchanged a few sentences with him, she had the feeling that Mo Wuji was a person with some background, and he also reminded her of her dead younger brother. This thought flashed through her mind before she told the two female servants waiting outside, "Mian He, send¡­" "That''s right, what''s your name?" The beautiful woman only then recalled that she had not asked Mo Wuji for his name all this while. "My name is Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji confirmed that this wasn''t God Domain, so he did not have to continue hiding his real name. Nodding her head, the beautiful woman said, "Go, even though planting spiritual plants is rather tough, but there''s one chance for you to go to the sect to listen to dao every year. Regardless whether this is the miracle you were looking for, it''s at least an opportunity." "Thank you elder sister.'' Mo Wuji quickly bowed out of gratitude. She had given him a job just after meeting him once, how lucky was that. He didn''t mind the work, but the main priority was to settle down as soon as possible, then investigate why he couldn''t advance in cultivation level while gathering information about the God Continent. "Mian He, bring Mo Wuji to Minor High Firmament Village and help him arrange for a plot of land. Instruct Manager Guang to take care of Mo Wuji." After finishing her piece, the beautiful woman no longer bothered with Mo Wuji, instead, she stared at the dilapidated manor, seemingly immersing herself deeply into a memory. Mo Wuji quietly bowed respectfully and left the manor. A young lady wearing a green coloured skirt walked over and calmly spoke to Mo Wuji, "Please follow me." After that, she even took out a flying ship. "Thank you Elder Sister Mian He." Mo Wuji thanked before following her up the flying ship. Once the flying ship started moving, Mo Wuji asked, "Elder Sister Mian He, why does that elder sister think that I''m very courageous to go to the Mei Clan Manor to search for god spiritual herbs by myself?" As she felt that Mo Wuji had a glib tongue, the young lady no longer maintained an expressionless face as she replied, "The Mei Clan Manor is where my lady was born, and other than people of the Mei Clan, any cultivators of other surnames will have their spirit channels and spiritual roots destroyed after entering for a prolonged period of time. For the more serious cases, their primordial spirit could even be dissolved." When he heard this reply, Mo Wuji dared not probe further. The Mei Clan Manor had obviously been destroyed by others, and that beautiful woman was also going to commemorate the passing of her loved ones. He suspected that the Mei Clan Manor was related to the Nirvana Ocean as one''s primordial spirit, spiritual roots, and spirit channels would be corroded in there as well. "That''s right, elder sister, why is our sect called Minor High Firmament Sect, and is the job of planting spiritual herbs very important?" Mo Wuji had countless questions to ask, and this Mian He, while she appeared rather strict, had divulged quite some information after a few questions from him. This was indeed the God Continent. The area on the God Continent was split into a few areas. There was the High God Land, Middle God Land, and Low God Land. This location in the God Continent belonged to an ordinary area and could be considered as the border of the Low and Middle God Lands. There was also a High Firmament God Sect in the God Continent, and this sect was one of the top sects, located in the High God Lands. Under normal circumstances, the High Firmament God Sect would not set up a branch in such an area. However, many years ago, one of the outer disciples of the High Firmament God Sect made a name for himself and set up a sect here. In order to not get in the way of the main sect''s glory, the outer disciple named his sect the Minor High Firmament Sect. Hence, the Minor High Firmament Sect could be considered a subsidiary sect of the High Firmament God Sect, but of course to the High Firmament God Sect, the existence of the Minor High Firmament Sect was negligible. The person Mian He referred to as ''my lady'' was named Mei Qian Qian, and she usually didn''t bother about things. But this time, not only did she arrange for Mo Wuji to go to Minor High Firmament Village, she also sent her close female slave to bring him there. Based on what Mian He said, this was really a first. ¡­ The Minor High Firmament Village wasn''t far away from the Mei Clan Manor, and on the way, Mian He explained many things to Mo Wuji. A half a day later, the flying ship stopped beside a large plot of farmland. That''s right, farmland. It was some god spiritual rice that was planted here, ad Mo Wuji could even see some people at work in the paddy fields. If it weren''t for the dense god spiritual energy that flowed over, Mo Wuji would have thought that he had to start farming. "There''s really dense god spiritual energy here." Mo Wuji exclaimed. Mian He explained, " There are god spiritual veins planted underneath this area, so my lady really wanted to help you when she sent you here. As long as you work hard, cultivating here might be even better than what the outer disciples experience." "No one has tried to steal the god spiritual veins?" Mo Wuji was puzzled. With a cold chuckle, Mian He replied, "Who dares to steal the god spiritual veins inside the god spiritual farm? Even cultivators don''t dare to cultivate here, much less steal. The god spiritual veins are meant to provide nourishment for the medicine and rice farms, so other than the rice planter, no one dares to cultivate here. All those who plant god spiritual rice have very poor spiritual roots, are hopeless cultivators, or even mortals. They basically can''t cultivate at all." This made Mo Wuji silent. He knew that the main rice planted here was Green Dew Rice. According to Mian He, the entire God Continent consumed Green Dew Rice. This rice had dense elemental energy in it, and eating it for long periods of time can help cultivators increase their insights and break through bottlenecks. However, these weren''t the main function of the rice, which was that it could counteract pill poison. This by itself was already very impressive, after all, which cultivator didn''t consume pills? After one took too many pills, one would naturally fear pill poison. Hence rice that served as an antidote for pill poison naturally became valuable. For these reasons, almost every sect would plant Green Dew Rice, but it was a pity that the amount of rice produced was too low, and the amount of god spiritual energy it absorbed was too much. On top of that, rice planted at different locations and by different people could be split into a few grades. Chapter 950: I Am A Mortal Chapter 950: I Am A Mortal Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mian He brought Mo Wuji into a building at the borders of large farmland. The stone building had six floors, but only a few people occupied the inside. Mo Wuji thought that the beautiful woman had asked Mian He to bring him over, and also to instruct the Manager Guang to take care of him. Logically speaking, that woman should have had some level of power. However, once he entered, he suspected whether he had guessed wrongly. None of the people greeted Mian He after seeing her. By the time she had brought him to a large room on the top floor, none of the people in the room stood up, which alerted him to how weird the greeting situation was. "Manager Guang, Lady Mei asked me to send Mo Wuji here to work. Give him some land, and arrange for him to stay at somewhere better." Mian He spoke courteously. Only at this point did the man sitting in the center of the room look up and sweep him gaze across Mian He while replying, "How is there any location in the Minor High Firmament Village that has available work to be done? There are no god spiritual farms already. Go back and tell Mei Qianqian not to send everyone here." Mo Wuji''s heart sank. He suspected that Lady Mei wasn''t clear about her position here. Otherwise, why would something like this happen? The expression of Mian He''s face changed, and she directly took out a token, "Guang Zhi, I now order you with the power of Firmament Pond Mountain to immediately arrange for Mo Wuji to plant Green Dew Rice here." Guang Zhi slowly rose from his seat, and coldly stared st Mian He before taking out a book from the side. After randomly flipping through it a few times, he took out a black token and threw it to Mo Wuji, "This is your identity token. From now on you''re a plant cultivator of Minor High Firmament Village. You have one plot of land, plot D79. You are required to pay 20 catties of Green Dew Rice a year. Since you''re new, I won''t set any requirement for the quality." Although Mo Wuji didn''t know the production capacity of Green Dew Rice, a plot of farmland was definitely not much. A plot here was around 600 square kilometres large. As a precaution against Guang Zhi, who didn''t seem like a good person, Mo Wuji secretly recorded the entire conversation down. "Manager Guang, are you trying to bully someone that hasn''t planted Green Dew Rice before? One plot of farmland can produce 20 catties of Green Dew Rice? Moreover, I''ve heard that those who plant Green Dew Rice here have at least 10 plots, so why did you only give Mo Wuji one plot?" Mian He questioned angrily. With a cold laughter, Guang Zhi replied, "I''ve already done as Firmament Pond Mountain requested and given him a plot of land, what else do you want? I''ve followed the sect rules, so if you''re unhappy, please go to lodge a complaint against me with the sect. Other people can produce 30-50 catties of Green Dew Rice with one plot of land, so is it too much for me to ask for 20 catties from him? Upon hearing this, Mian He became speechless. She didn''t know whether 20 catties of Green Dew Rice from one plot of land was considered a lot or not. Deep inside, Guang Zhi was laughing to himself. The plot of land that could produce 30-50 catties of Green Dew Rice was an A grade farmland. A D grade farmland wanted to produce 20 catties of Green Dew Rice? Then it would be too easy to obtain Green Dew Rice. Mo Wuji probed further, "What if I can harvest more than 20 catties of rice from my plot of land, does the excess belong to me?" Laughing, Guang Zhi replied, "Of course it belongs to you, otherwise do you think that there''ll still be people planting Green Dew Rice here? Even if you have an excess of 200 catties, you can do whatever you want with it." While Mian He did not understand much, she knew a little more about Green Dew Rice than Mo Wuji. After hearing Guang Zhi''s words, she quickly told Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, you must not sell the excess Green Dew Rice. You have to eat them yourself. Planting Green Dew Rice requires one to eat Green Dew Rice, otherwise you''ll weaken your vitality and add an additional burden to your spirit channels. Not only will this affect your lifespan, but your cultivation as well." Now Mo Wuji finally understood everything: why there was such dense spiritual energy here, and why the people planting Green Dew Rice were those with poor spiritual roots and mortals. Guang Zhi mocked Mo Wuji in his heart, but never gave an answer. One plot of grade D land could definitely not meet the 20 catty Green Dew Rice requirement. As for leaving some behind to eat? He he, dream on. Mo Wuji kept the jade token and said, "Could Manager Guang please pass me the rice seeds?" Staring at Mo Wuji through the corner of his eyes, Guang Zhi spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "This is your first time here, so let me tell you a rule. Anyone that comes here to ask for rice must buy them with god crystals. I can give you 100 rice seeds, but it''ll cost you 100 high grade god crystals." "100 rice seeds cost 100 high grade god crystals?'' Mo Wuji couldn''t help but ask. This was too much of a scam right? Even though he had never seen the seeds of Green Dew Rice, he knew that those that Guang Zhi gave him would definitely be of the worst quality, not any good ones, and this price was surely extremely expensive. "Is it ok for the rice seeds to be ok the same kind?" Guang Zhi asked as though as Mo Wuji didn''t say anything. Seeing that Mian He was looking at him, Mo Wuji could only shake his head, "I don''t have a single god crystal on me." In his heart, he couldn''t stand it. It was so difficult for him to find somewhere to settle down, but in the end, he didn''t have the god crystals to buy seeds. Mian He took out 60 high grade god crystals and passed them to Mo Wuji, "I have 60, I''ll lend them to you for now." "Thank you Elder SIster Mian He." Mo Wuji quickly thanked her as he received the god crystals. "60 high grade god crystals, so I''ll give you 60 Green Dew Rice seeds." Guang Zhi threw a small sack onto the table. Without taking the sack immediately, Mo Wuji calmly asked, "Manager Guang, if I harvest intermediate grade or high grade Green Dew Rice, do I have to submit 20 catties as well?" Upon hearing this, Guang Zhi looked at Mo Wuji impatiently, "If you harvest intermediate grade, submit 8 catties. If it''s high grade, submit 4 catties, and for unique grade, submit half a catty, as long as you have the ability to produce them." Mo Wuji didn''t bother about Guang Zhi''s mocking, and asked again, "If I manage to harvest a higher grade of Green Dew Rice, can I exchange it for some lower grade Green Dew Rice seeds?" "Haha¡­" Guang Zhi burst out laughing, and after he was done, he stared at Mo Wuji, "You can submit whatever you want. But if you can''t even meet the minimum quota, don''t blame me for not giving you face. Please leave, I still have work to settle here." Mian He pulled Mo Wuji out of Guang Zhi''s room with a sour expression on her face. While they had already left the room, he could still hear Guang Zhi''s laughter. "Mo Wuji, I won''t send you to the farmland already. I''ll go back and speak to my lady and see if she can do anything for you." Mian He had already developed a good impression of him after this half day of interaction. In response, Mo Wuji corrected her, "Elder Sister Mian He, please don''t report what happened here to your master, just tell her that everything has been arranged properly for me." This made Mian He fall silent, as she understood what Mo Wuji meant. A moment later, she nodded her head, "You''re a pretty good guy, my lady wasn''t wrong to help you. I''ll be taking my leave, if I have the time in the future, maybe I''ll pop by to visit you." After she finished her piece, Mian He took out a flying ship and disappeared completely. ¡­ An hour later, Mo Wuji stood at the foot of a mountain, which was littered with pebbles and weeds, with an ugly expression on his face. This was plot D79. Even if this plot of land wasn''t of such poor quality, it was still located at the extreme borders of the Minor High Firmament Village''s god spiritual array. Based on the information he gathered, planting good Green Dew Rice required good spring water. The people who planted Green Dew Rice also invited some god array masters to set up spiritual arrays and dug a well. But all these required god crystals. Thankfully, Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 god array master himself. His main intention of coming here was not to plant Green Dew Rice, but to investigate why he couldn''t advance in cultivation level. Since this area had god spiritual veins and an energy gathering array, god spiritual energy here was extremely dense, making it very suitable for cultivation. As he thought of this, MO WUji immediately drew out a high grade immortal equipment cave, and asked Da Huang and Shuai Guo to come out to clear up the plot of land. He would continue to absorb god spiritual energy in the cave while searching for the reason for his inability to advance in cultivation level. All of the people who planted Green Dew Rice here were very busy men. If they did their jobs well, the excess rice could be consumed by themselves and even sold. However, Mo Wuji was focused on cultivating and finding out why he couldn''t progress in cultivating. "Shuai Guo, you and Da Huang enter the cave and cultivate. Let me plant these Green Dew Rice seeds." Ultimately, Mo Wuji decided to humbly plant the Green Dew Rice. Initially, when he faced the tens of cultivators from the Nine Evolution Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate, he consumed a large number of pills, so who knew if that was when he became afflicted with pill poisoning. Theoretically speaking, he had the detoxification meridian, so there shouldn''t be the problem of being poisoned. However, pill poison was different from normal poisons. Pill poison wouldn''t affect anything but one''s cultivation. Green Dew Rice could serve as an antidote, hence he could try to eat some of the rice he harvested in the future. When they crossed the Nirvana Ocean, Da Huang and Shuai Guo knew how important one''s strength was, so now that Mo Wuji asked them to cultivate in an area with more than enough god spiritual energy, both of them simply went to cultivate. Mo Wuji began to consolidate his thoughts and started to work on his plot of land. He had done some farming before on Earth. Regardless whether it was normal rice or Green Dew Rice, they were harvested from rice paddies. On top of that, he was a biologist and a Pill Emperor, so he couldn''t believe that he wouldn''t be able to produce a slightly better quality rice. After the farmland had been sorted out, he set up a simple rain array. Then, one by one the seeds were planted into the ground with a regular spacing between them. At first, Mo Wuji still wanted to finish the task as soon as possible, but once he began planting the Green Dew Rice into the ground, he totally forgot that he was a cultivator. In that moment, he was just an ordinary farmer. The most ordinary of mortals who worked hard for food. When he forgot that he was a cultivator, when he did not cultivate anymore, when he seriously planted seed after seed into the ground bent over back, the obstacle in his cultivation level was torn apart in that instant. The cultivation level that remained stagnant for years started to rise wildly, and in a short period of time, he went from elementary Nascent God Level 3 to intermediate Nascent God Level 3. "I understand now, I am a mortal." Mo Wuji slowly straightened his back with a glint of excitement in his eyes. But this emotion disappeared as quickly as it came, and he once again turned into an ordinary mortal planting rice. Chapter 951: God King Green Robes Nu Fang Chapter 951: God King Green Robes Nu Fang Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After entering intermediate Nascent God Level 3, Mo Wuji knew what went wrong with him: his heart state was misaligned. As he grew stronger, the people that interacted with him also became stronger. This made him want to increase his cultivation level at a crazy rate. Since he entered the God Domain, he had reached Nascent God Level 3 in a short period of time. This was at odds with the foundation of his cultivation technique, as he was cultivating as a mortal. However in the process of cultivation, he had continuously compared himself to those cultivation geniuses and as a result, unknowingly considered himself as a true cultivation genius as well. It was already very lucky that he did not go astray in cultivation under such circumstances, what more for advancing in cultivation level? Only today did he consolidate his thoughts to focus on a menial task completely unrelated to cultivation, which led to his progress in cultivation. The small bits of progress collected over time finally turned into strength at this moment. Deep inside his heart, there seemed to be something sprouting too. When he thought until this point, Mo Wuji stopped once again. His heart state had not been truly completed yet, and the planting of Green Dew Rice seeds was not exactly totally unrelated to cultivation. In the end, he was still doing so to advance his cultivation. The Green Dew Rice could be used to counteract pill poison, and he planted the rice in the first place. It seemed like he had reached a fork on his path of cultivation. Because he cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, it meant that he had to use the mindset of a mortal to approach dao. So what kind of mindset should he maintain towards cultivation? He should stop thinking about how the Green Dew Rice can counter pill poison, and without any aim for the farming, he would do so just to be at peace. Only if he planted Green Dew Rice without any goal in mind would his heart state improve thoroughly. This issue made Mo Wuji frown as t didn''t seem like something the depths of his mind needed. Deep inside, planting Green Dew Rice seeds wasn''t a recreational activity to spend excess time on, and even more so it couldn''t have any aim. Mortals planted rice for survival, and to exchange it for the right to live. So what was wrong with planting Green Dew Rice seeds for cultivating? Why couldn''t he pursue any goals when planting Green Dew Rice seeds? He was originally a mortal, but never did his mind reach such an enlightened state: to plant Green Dew Rice seeds for others without asking for anything in return. He had put in the effort, so he needed to gain something. A formless shadow and obstacle seemed to be melted away by a blazing fire, disappearing from Mo Wuji. This made him feel much more relaxed all over, and he also became more open-minded to everything before him. There was no need to be too intentional, one only exists with a set of your own principles. There''s no need to compare oneself with cultivation geniuses. One just had to do one''s things and cultivate one''s own Mortal Dao. Mo Wuji''s entire being was at peace, without any of the frustrations about cultivation level stagnation. He calmly plowed the field, calmly spread the seeds, calmly set up an energy gathering array¡­ then calmly waited for the harvest season. As Manager Guang wasn''t on good terms with him, Mo Wuji didn''t know how many seeds a plot of land required. The only thing he knew was that Green Dew Rice seeds matured in six months and could be planted at any time. You could have either one or two harvests in a year. It could be said that the Green Dew Rice plant was the only spiritual plant in the God Domain that had the greatest effects with a short maturity period. Compared to the natural treasures that took tens or hundreds of thousands of years to mature, Green Dew Rice was very valuable. To the people of God Continent, this was a heaven given gift to the cultivators. "It''s useless if you do it this way. Under normal circumstances, 500 seedlings of Green Dew Rice can be planted in a plot of land. The best harvest in grade A plots is about one or two grains of Green Dew Rice seeds per plant, which means 500 seedlings can produce 50 catties of Green Dew Rice seeds. As for the grade of the rice, it would depend on the process of planting and tending to the plants. This is a grade D land, so there''s not enough energy from the earth, and you''ll have to plant at least 1000 seedlings¡­" A voice suddenly interrupted Mo Wuji''s work. Raising his head, Mo Wuji saw a dark skinned man with a spiritual hoe on his back standing by his plot. As he had been completely focused on the planting of Green Dew Rice seeds, he actually didn''t notice someone approach him. "Thank you for the pointers." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully and said without many considerations. Even if he didn''t manage to produce a single grain of rice, what could Manager Guang do to him? A guy at Nascent God Level 7 didn''t even warrant his concern. The dark skinned youth also smiled and casually threw a book to Mo Wuji, "You should have offended someone right? Otherwise, you wouldn''t have been assigned to a grade D plot. This is a book with an introduction to Green Dew Rice, you can take a look at it. My name is Gu Hai. I''m at plot B29. If you have anything that you don''t understand, you can come to ask me." After finishing his sentence, he didn''t wait for Mo Wuji to thank him and left. Mo Wuji was secretly shocked. No matter where it was, there should be people like Gu Hai that loved to help others. A preliminary scan of the Green Dew Rice book that Gu Hai gave revealed that it mainly introduced what time to water the plant, what time to expose it to sunlight, what things to look out for, etc. There was also detailed information about how many Green Dew Rice seeds to plant per plot as well. Normally, the worse the quality of the plot, the more Green Dew Rice had to be planted, otherwise, the quantity harvested would be very low. On the God Continent, high grade Green Dew Rice would rarely appear. Most people usually consumed low grade Green Dew Rice. Only some sect elders and people with high statuses would eat intermediate grade Green Dew Rice. The very few high grade Green Dew Rice were all used as expensive gifts to others instead of being eaten. As for peak grade Green Dew Rice, it has not appeared on the market for many years. That was a top notch treasure, which one could only discover, but not seek out. The value of peak grade Green Dew Rice was not only in its ability to counteract pill poison and boost cultivation. It was that valuable because if it were used as a seed, even a novice could produce Tier 3 Green Dew Rice. In the book, it also introduced the only person that could produce peak grade Green Dew Rice: God King Green Robes Nu Fang. God King Green Robes Nu Fang wasn''t only a God King, but also a Tier 5 God Pill King. In the God Continent, Tier 5 God Pill Kings existed at the peak of the ecosystem. Based on the descriptions in the book, God King Green Robes Nu Fang was a warm and emotional person. As long as it was within his abilities, he would try his best to help others. On the entire God Continent, he was the only God Pill King without any airs about him. However, a hundred million years ago, Nu Fang tried to cross the Nirvana Ocean in order to bring the Green Dew Rice seeds to the God Domain. In the end, he never returned and there wasn''t any news about him either. After closing the book, the first thought that came to mind was the inheritance of a pill master that he obtained on the Turtle Shell Island. According to the stone mortar spirit at the heart of the island, the short introductions to Pill Dao and the Pill Dao jade slip were the possessions of a passing pill master. Could that person have been the God King Green Robes? As he thought about this, Mo Wuji dropped everything at hand and returned to the cave immediately. He took out the ring and retrieved countless jade slips and a very thick book. He had scanned through the jade slips before, and most of them contained some brief descriptions of god spiritual herbs, pill recipes, things to take note when concocting god pills, etc. Mo Wuji opened up the thick book, which had a green cover, and on the first page, there were the following words: God World Spiritual Herbs, Volume 1. Slightly further down were the words: Author, Nu Fang. So it was the God King Green Robes indeed. Although the item in his hands was very exceptional, Mo Wuji still felt rather sad. From all that he read so far, the God King Green Robes was definitely a good person who was unselfish. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have risked his life to spread the Green Dew Grass to the God Domain. It was a pity that Nu Fang wasn''t able to fulfill his dream, and when he was about to reach the God Domain, he was killed by a spirit. On top of that, his vital blood and primordial spirit were used by the stone mortar spirit to concoct the giant pill. Mo Wuji placed the few jade slips and the thick book onto the table and bowed respectfully to them, "Green Robed Elder, if you really wish that the Green Dew Rice can be spread to the God Domain, please allow me to fulfill this dream for you. As for that stone mortar spirit that killed you, I''ll help avenge you if I have the chance." No matter who the stone mortar spirit killed, Mo Wuji already knew that he had to eliminate it. Otherwise, once it completely recovered, the first person it killed would probably be him. After keeping everything in his Undying World, Mo Wuji left the thick book on God World spiritual plants outside. God King Green Robes inscribed pill recipes, pill refining techniques, and details about many god spiritual herbs and how to recognise them on the jade slips, while this book of God World spiritual plants specifically described how to nurture different spiritual plants. When he flipped the book open, Mo Wuji saw how knowledgeable the God King Green Robes was. The information inside was gathered over countless months and years. Very quickly, Mo Wuji found the planting techniques for Green Dew Rice, which were much higher level than those written in the book Gu Hai passed to him. Nurturing good quality Green Dew Rice not only required the best god spiritual spring and a dense god spiritual energy source, it depended even more on a complete set of the laws of heaven and earth. As for the quality of soil, it was the least important factor. Mo Wuji was sure that if the God King Green Robes were here, he would not have split the farmland for planting Green Dew Rice into a few grades. Based on the God King Green Robes''s description, only in an environment where the laws were complete, a few types of spiritual sap from spiritual plants could be used to nurture peak grade Green Dew Rice. These words gave Mo Wuji a great epiphany. He didn''t have large quantities of spiritual sap, but he did have a god spiritual herb called the Five Leaf Grass. The Five Leaf Grass had five leaves, and it was of a low tier: just a Tier 1 god spiritual herb. But this god spiritual herb had a unique feature, which was it possessed all five elemental characteristics. Mo Wuji didn''t intend to use the Five Leaf Grass as spiritual sap to nurture the Green Dew Rice seeds. He wanted to use it as a medium and graft the Green Dew Rice plant onto it. Didn''t the Green Dew Rice require complete laws? Although the Five Leaf Grass had five elemental characteristics and couldn''t be considered to contain all laws of the heaven and earth, it could definitely be considered the god spiritual grass with the most complete laws. As for the god spiritual herbs with unique laws, most of them were very expensive, so he never thought about using their spiritual sap to nurture the Green Dew Rice. The main idea behind using the Five Leaf Grass as the medium to graft the Green Dew Rice plant was to allow the rice to absorb all five elemental laws of the heaven and earth. Chapter 952: Green Dew Rice Chapter 952: Green Dew Rice Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Other than using the five elemental laws of the Five Leaf Grass, Mo Wuji had a second reason for grafting the Green Dew Rice plant on the Five Leaf Grass. Mo Wuji was a top notch biologist on Earth, so he had an exceptional understanding of wild flora and fauna. Most wild fruit trees not only taste better after being transplanted a few times, but they also grow larger. This sort of grafting with a medium could be considered as transplanting from a certain perspective. Moreover, ordinary rice also required one to first nurture the seedling to the point of sprouting before planting it in. While the Green Dew Rice required a different planting technique from normal rice, they were still rice. So who could say that nurturing the rice till it sprouted and grafting it on a medium wouldn''t work? Precisely because the Five Leaf Grass was low tiered and could not be used to concoct god pills, it was basically not collected by anyone. After the God Domain''s God Domain Nest newly incubated, Mo Wuji was able to collect a large pile of them. Back then, the main purpose of collecting the Five Leaf Grass was to practice pill refining. In the Immortal World, he was a Pill Emperor, but in the God Domain, he couldn''t even concoct a Tier 1 god pill. The god spiritual herbs of the God Domain were very pricey, hence he didn''t have enough god crystals to obtain a great amount of them to practice with. Now, before he could use any of the Five Leaf Grass to practice pill refining, they had to be first used to graft Green Dew Rice plants. A single grain of Green Dew Rice seed was about half an inch large, and was very light, as though as one had a feather in one''s hand when holding it. When one''s spiritual will landed on it, it gave a sort of empty feeling. The difference between Green Dew Rice seeds and Green Dew Rice was not an outer husk, but a thin external layer. At this point, Mo Wuji knew that the low grade Green Dew Rice seed''s exterior was a light grey colour, and after removing the light grey layer, the pure white Green Dew Rice would be revealed. Intermediate grade Green Dew Rice seeds had a silver exterior, and after removing the silver layer, a pure white grain of Green Dew Rice could be seen as well. The only difference was that this white grain of rice would have many small silver stripes on it. High grade Green Dew Rice seeds had a light gold exterior, and after removing the light gold layer, the pure white Green Dew Rice with gold stripes would be revealed. The more gold stripes there were, the higher the quality of the rice. For peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds, its surface was pure gold, and after removing the gold outer layer, the Green Dew Rive was also gold in colour. The Green Dew Rice seeds that Mo Wuji received were light grey, and the grey colour wasn''t even either, which meant that it was the lowest of the low grade Green Dew Rice seeds. Still, Mo Wuji carefully planted all of these seeds carefully. He didn''t have a good god spiritual spring, but this was his first time planting Green Dew Rice, and based on the information left behind by the God King Green Robes, he used some Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow to water them. Perhaps it was due to the effectiveness of the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow, just after half a month''s time, the Green Dew Rice seedlings grew to half an inch tall. Mo Wuji then transferred the Five Leaf Grass from his Undying World into the ground, removed the five leaves of the grass, and started to graft the Green Dew Rice seedlings over one by one. All of these, Mo Wuji did with utmost care and focus. 60 seedlings, none of them died, and every single one was successfully grafted. After that, he set up a concealment array outside his plot of land and placed a completed energy gathering array under each seedling. The usefulness of an array master presented itself now. According to Gu Hai, for Mo Wuji''s plot of land, it wouldn''t be considered too packed even if a thousand Green Dew Rice seedlings were planted. But due to limitations on the number of seeds, Mo Wuji could only plant 60 of them. Another half a month passed, and he discovered a problem. While his seedlings were indeed growing better than others, he had used the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow to water then. The Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow might have been a Tier 9 immortal spiritual herb, but in reality it was much more valuable than Tier 9 immortal spiritual herbs. If it were in the God Domain, it could possibly be considered as a high grade god spiritual sap. Based on the current situation, by the time of his harvest, most of them would be low grade Green Dew Rice. This was not what Mo Wuji wanted. Although the God Pill King Green Robes had a way to nurture peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds, he couldn''t afford using that process. Moreover, the God Pill King Green Robes had also pointed out that the peak grade Green Dew Rice wasn''t suited for the God Continent. This sort of thing used up too many resources, and even a person who was both a God Pill King and a God King couldn''t sustainably nurture peak grade rice. Hence, what he mainly taught was basically the means to produce intermediate grade Green Dew Rice and how to improve the yield of low grade Green Dew Rice. However, Mo Wuji was determined to produce a good batch of Green Dew Rice. Thus after his efforts yielded no results, he began to inspect the Green Dew Rice plants. Once he held a stalk of Green Dew Rice plant, clear five elemental laws were transferred to him, which made him very excited. This not only allowed him to understand what was wrong, it also enlightened him about the five elemental laws of the heaven and earth. He could clearly sense the strength of the five elemental laws of each stalk of Green Dew Rice plant, and also which ones had an excess or deficit of one law. His first guess was that this was due to him not possessing elemental spiritual root, which allowed him to clearly feel which of the five elements the Green Dew Rice plants were lacking. If it were another cultivator with spiritual roots here, even if he tried to do so, he probably couldn''t sense it as clearly as Mo Wuji. This gave Mo Wuji a new direction, and he transplanted the Green Dew Rice plants once more. A mere hour later, he had messed up the order of the 60 plants and replanted. For this round of planting, Mo Wuji placed the Green Dew Rice that lacked the same elemental law in one area and set up the corresponding elemental array in that area. For example, the Green Dew Rice plants lacking in metal elemental laws were transplanted to the same area, and a metal gathering array was set up there. The Green Dew Rice plants lacking wood elemental laws, and a wood gathering array was set up¡­ With this, a good part of a month passed by, and Mo Wuji could see that the Green Dew Rice plants were flourishing a few times better than others. The gap was also increasing by the day. But this was comparing his with those at the A grade plots. If they were compared with those in the B or C plots, the difference would be almost like heaven and earth. In two month''s time, Mo Wuji was completely confident. During this period, other than nurturing the Green Dew Rice plants, he would occasionally cultivate for a while. Four months later, when the Green Dew Rice plants started to bear seeds, his cultivation level finally crossed from Nascent God Level 3 to 4. Once that happened, he appeared even more ordinary than before. Shuai Guo also reached Godbeast Level 3, and Da Huang was already at advanced Nascent God Level 4. Six months later, Mo Wuji''s plot D79 was filled with a light gold colour everywhere. To his surprise, every stalk of Green Dew Rice plant had five ears of rice, and each ear was filled with light gold coloured Green Dew Rice seeds. Even though there were only 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice plants, the entire plot was covered in light gold. The fragrance of the rice wafted over, and with a little whiff, Mo Wuji felt that his mind became clearer and he also felt calmer. This shouldn''t be considered 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice plants but 300 stalks. There was still a few days before the harvest season, but Mo Wuji couldn''t wait any longer. He carefully removed two stalks of Green Dew Rice plants. The 10 ears on the two stalks were filled with Green Dew Rice seeds, and even though the rice was as light as a feather, he could feel the weight of them in his hands. After harvesting the rice seeds from both stalks, Mo Wuji removed the light gold outer layer to reveal the rice with many gold stripes. This was obviously high grade Green Dew Rice. This discovery made Mo Wuji very excited. He suspected that he wasn''t able to produce peak grade Green Dew Rice due to the poor quality of the seeds he started out with. Each grain of Green Dew Rice let off a alluring fragrance, and its length was also close to an inch, which made it difficult to resist. Mo Wuji did some basic estimation. These two stalks of Green Dew Rice plants had five catties of Green Dew Rice on them, which meant that one stalk could give him two and a half catties. Assuming that one stalk had five ears, each ear''s production capacity was five taels [1]. The book that Gu Hai gave him explained very clearly that the best harvest from grade A plots was around one tael of rice per stalk of plant. As he had used the Five Leaf Grass grafting technique, one stalk of Mo Wuji''s Green Dew Rice plant had five ears, each with five taels of rice. Wasn''t this a multiple fold increase? Mo Wuji immediately entered the immortal estate, washed all five catties of Green Dew Rice, forged a pot, and started cooking at once. From the start of his cultivation, never did he imagine that one day he would still cook rice to eat. A incense''s worth of time later, an irresistible fragrance came from the Green Dew Rice. Even Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who were in the midst of cultivating, couldn''t help but run out, staring at the pot that Mo Wuji was using to cook the rice. Although the pot that he forged was not small, the five catties of rice filled up the entire pot. Mo Wuji was the first to scoop a bowl for himself, while Shuai Guo and Da Huang did so automatically without any instructions. Without any dishes to go along with it, when Mo Wuji swallowed the first mouthful of rice, he knew that he was wrong previously. Who said that cultivating dao meant that one had to fast? A dao cultivator could indeed fast, but he was cultivating Mortal Dao, and the desires of the mouth were also part of mortal desires. The first mouth of Green Dew Rice gave a pure, indescribable taste which spread all over his taste buds. Not only did Mo Wuji sigh out of satisfaction, Shuai Guo and Da Huang who were at the side also closed their eyes, immersed in uncomparable satisfaction. "This indeed lives up to its name." Mo Wuji exclaimed after finished half a bowl of rice without any dishes. The taste in one''s mouth was simply a sensation, and what Mo Wuji found truly valuable about it was that he could clearly sense the pill poison in him being counteracted. He could even feel that his understanding towards the five elemental laws in the dao of the heaven and earth had become better as well. One could say that the Green Dew Rice was more suited for someone that cultivated Mortal Dao. ¡­ "Who''s cooking Green Dew Rice?" Outside of the Minor High Firmament Village, a man and a woman smelled the mind-clearing fragrance which even cleared up their sea of consciousness. "This smell and aura, could it be intermediate grade Green Dew Rice being cooked?" The woman in hemp clothes said out of shock. "No, this is not intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, but high grade Green Dew Rice¡­" After finishing her sentence, she leapt across many plots of farmland in a step, charging straight at plot D79 where Mo Wuji resided. The numerous people beside her also followed suit, leaving behind a confused Manager Guang Zhi. [1] 16 taels = 1 catty Chapter 953: A Plot Of High Grade Green Dew Rice Chapter 953: A Plot Of High Grade Green Dew Rice Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As Mo Wuji just finished a bowl of rice, he started looking suspiciously towards the outside of the concealment array. How could there be people here at this time? He had been here for a few months, and other than Gu Hai that dropped by once, no one else came ever. As for the concealment array that he set up for his Green Dew Grass, it was very common. Many grade A plots had set up similar arrays for secrecy. Rice? When Mo Wuji saw the half pot of rice, he finally understood what was going on. It was all caused by the rice. The fragrance of the Green Dew Rice had attracted people over. Mo Wuji shook his head, speechless. The thought of setting up a smell blocking array never crossed his mind before. However, after those people arrived here, they did not break open the concealment array, nor did they forcibly extend their spiritual will in, which meant that they still greatly respected a rice farmer like him. It was not known to Mo Wuji that on the God Continent, the people who could produce intermediate grade Green Dew Rice lived a good life. Every sect would invite them over, and they would easily become the elder of a spiritual mountain. Of course, this respect was only on the surface. In reality, even if the God King Green Robes tried his best to raise the social standings of rice planters, nothing would happen to them. Even if the person was adept at nurturing Green Dew Grass and was hired as an elder of the sect''s god spiritual herb mountain, the respect of others would not go further than skin deep. No cultivator would truly respect someone that planted Green Dew Rice, as, in their proud opinion, a person with a short lifespan and low cultivation level was not deserving of a real cultivator''s respect. The rice farmers were often either those with extremely poor spiritual roots and could not advance in cultivation, or those who could not cultivate. Moreover, nurturing Green Dew Rice would eat away at one''s lifespan, so under normal circumstances, few cultivators would bother about them. However, regardless how good you were at planting rice, as long as you did not offend others, no one would abduct you. This wasn''t only an unspoken rule of the God Continent, but also because planting Green Dew Rice required not only the erosion of the farmer''s life but also a seriousness that came from the bottom of the farmer''s heart. Only then would really good rice be produced. Even if you could kidnap a person who could produce intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, the other party would definitely not be able to produce intermediate grade rice under duress. This was the rule, and it was also reflected in how high the demand was for high quality Green Dew Rice. For something like planting Green Dew Rice, if one had the smallest bit of unhappiness or unwillingness, it would have a negative effect on the product''s quality. "May I ask where the farm owner is, Minor High Firmament Sect''s Moon Pond Mountain''s disciple Ying Shushu is paying a visit." A crisp voice rang out. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had detected that people were approaching. There was a total of five people, two men and three women. The person that was speaking was the woman in hemp clothes, and her cultivation level gave him a shock. From what he saw, this woman was at least at God Monarch Level 3. The Minor High Firmament Village was a subordinate village of the Minor High Firmament sect in the first place, hence when a God Monarch from the sect came knocking on his door, Mo Wuji naturally had no reason not to invite the other party in. Casually opening the concealment array, he bowed respectfully, "May I ask what business you have here?" No one answered his question as the jaws of all five people outside the defensive array dropped while they stared at Mo Wuji''s plot of land. A light gold colour had already blinded a few of them. This was definitely high grade Green Dew Rice, and it was a whole plot of land of high grade Green Dew Rice. High grade Green Dew Rice was extremely difficult to find nowadays, but now they had an entire plot of it before them. Based on how much the plot of land flourished, there was definitely more than a few tens of catties ere. "High grade Green Dew Rice, it''s all high grade Green Dew Rice¡­" Guang Zhi, who had caught up from behind, was stunned. He had worked at the village as manager for so many years, but never once did he see high grade Green Dew Rice. Up until that point, the best harvest was when someone produced 10 plots of land of intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, and one plot had even a slight gold colour which meant that it was extremely close from reaching high grade, but it was still not there. However, now he saw a full plot of high grade Green Dew Rice. Seeing the shocked looks in everyone''s eyes, Mo Wuji quickly threw out a few array flags, covering the Green Dew Rice field again, and at the same time opening up a small path. Only when the Green Dew Rice had been blocked from their view did the five people regain their senses and swiftly run to the front of Mo Wuji''s immortal estate. On the God Continent, something as inferior as an immortal estate could not attract others'' attention, but what everyone was focused on wasn''t the immortal estate, but Shuai Guo and Da Huang who were eating Green Dew Rice. "You, you actually cooked high grade Green Dew Rice to eat? You¡­" Guang Zhi suppressed the rage in his heart and walked to the front of Mo Wuji''s immortal estate. When he saw the pot of rice that Mo Wuji cooked, he couldn''t keep it in anymore and loudly chided. However, Mo Wuji replied, "Manager Guang, is there something wrong with this? The rice I''m cooking was planted be me, is there a problem with me eating my own rice?" "You, you¡­'' Guang Zhi didn''t expect Mo Wuji to actually rebut him, and he was so angry till he couldn''t complete his sentence. While Guang Zhi, the small manager, was acting up, Mo Wuji noticed that the three women and two guys who came with him didn''t interrupt. "You haven''t paid the sect, so these crops don''t belong to you yet." Guang Zhi loudly declared. Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "You''re wrong Manager Guang. The rice here all belongs to me, the 20 catties of Green Dew Rice I''m submitting isn''t here." "I dare you." Guang Zhi shouted again. Mo Wuji simply swept his gaze across Guang Zhi uncaringly, "Get lost, don''t criticise me in my own plot." "Ok, you''ve got guts. Is it because the sect doesn''t allow people outside of the Enforcement Hall to attack here? Just you wait." As Guang Zhi spoke, he shot out a message. "Brother, you actually managed to produce high grade Green Dew Rice, how impressive." The person that spoke was the youngest girl out of the five. While she was still young, her cultivation level was at Nascent God Level 9 already. Mo Wuji knew that this lady was being polite, so he didn''t take it to heart and replied, "I was just lucky. Even I don''t know how I did it." The help clothed woman only started speaking then, "Let me introduce myself, I am Ying Shushu, a disciple of Moon Pond Mountain." After she finished her introduction, she pointed at the two girls beside her, "They are my junior sisters, Mu Shuang and Jian Ji." Mo Wuji nodded his head and responded, "Greetings senior sisters, I am Mo Wuji." Mu Shuang was the female cultivator standing on Ying Shushu''s right and was at Heavenly God Level 6. She was also the young girl that just called him ''brother'', which made her appear rather innocent and cute. Noticing that Ying Shushu didn''t introduce him, the tall man that kept a smile on his face the whole while bowed respectfully, "Dao Friend Mo, I''m Yue Lun, Rapid Star Mountain''s legacy disciple. This is my junior brother, Zuo Xifeng." Yao Lun was handsome, and with the white robes of a cultivator draped over his body, he appeared even more extraordinary. His only shortcoming was that his mouth was a tad too big. If he were to open it, Mo Wuji suspected that it would remind people of the mouth of a ferocious beast. Moreover, Yao Lun''s cultivation level was rather high, also at God Monarch Level 3. The person standing beside Yao Lun, Zuo Xifeng, was much worse. He had an ugly appearance, squarish face, and small ears. His cultivation level was also much lower than Yao Lun, only at Heavenly God Level 9. Mo Wuji quickly bowed back respectfully, "Mo Wuji greets Senior Brother Yao Lun and Senior BRother Zuo Xifeng." "Dao Friend Mo, I don''t know if you''re willing to sell some Green Dew Rice to me?" Yao Lun smiled while asking. Once Mo Wuji heard this question, he knew that the rules around here must have been that no plundering was allowed. Based on his principle of offending as few people as possible, he ordered Da Huang who was at the side, "Da Huang, take five catties of Green Dew Rice for Senior Brother Yao Lun. That''s right, sell five catties of Green Dew Rice to everyone who comes, except for this triangle eyed man." "Yes my lord." Upon hearing Mo Wuji''s instructions, Da Huang rushed into the plot to harvest Green Dew Rice. When they heard Mo Wuji''s announcement, everyone was shocked. Even Yao Lun didn''t expect this when he asked his question. Originally, he hoped that Mo Wuji could sell a catty of Green Dew Rice to him, and this would have made him very satisfied. Who knew that Mo Wuji would start with five catties. This was simply happiness descending from above. In reality, Mo Wuji didn''t have much of an idea of how valuable high grade Green Dew Rice was, hence he said such a thing. If he knew the true value of the rice, he would at most offer one catty per person. Seeing that Mo Wuji openly sold the Green Dew Rice, Guang Zhi''s face turned black. But he didn''t dare to stop him Mo Wuji here. Yao Lun was still ok, but that Ying Shushu of Moon Pond Mountain was a god of killing. Behind her ravishing looks was a person that didn''t even blink when killing people. "Thank you Dao Friend Mo, I don''t know how many god crystals it will cost to buy a tael of Green Dew Rice from you?" Ying Shushu suppressed the emotions in her heart as she asked this question. She was here for Green Dew Rice, and initially her plan was to get some intermediate grade rice, but who knew that she would find high grade rice here. Mo Wuji''s didn''t answer her question, but instead told Shuai Guo, "Shuai Guo, go to help Da Huang and harvest all of the Green Dew Rice in the plot." At first, Mo Wuji wanted to wait for a few more days. However, Guang Zhi was obviously hatching a scheme, and if Guang Zhi really wanted to rob him of the Green Dew Rice, then he could just leave immediately. He wasn''t afraid of Guang Zhi, but he feared Guang Zhi''s backers. Guang Zhi definitely had to have some backers to be able to be a manager at such a lucrative village. Even if he used the Wind Escape Technique to flee, he, Mo Wuji, would definitely not give in to a snob like Guang Zhi. Chapter 954: Inverting Black And White Chapter 954: Inverting Black And White Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Mo Wuji, I dare you." Seeing that Mo Wuji wanted Shuai Guo to harvest the rice, Guang Zhi began to panic. He intended to chase Mo Wuji away after the enforcement hall arrived, then occupy this plot of land. So that when the people from the major sect came over, he would be able to shine. This was one aspect of it, but more importantly, he had produced a plot of high grade Green Dew Rice, and when the time came, he would be able to reap benefits in both name and profits. He might even get an opportunity to breakthrough Nascent God and enter Heavenly God Stage. However, Mo Wuji didn''t bother with Guang Zhi, instead, he bowed respectfully towards Ying Shushu and co, "I''ve planted Green Dew Rice for many years, and this is the first time I''ve produced high grade Green Dew Rice by chance. I''m not sure about its price, so may I ask senior brothers and sisters to help me estimate a price for it. It''ll be enough if you give me some low grade Green Dew Rice when the time comes." Upon hearing Mo Wuji''s words, joy erupted in Ying Shushu''s heart. She was originally worried that Mo Wuji''s asking price would be too high and she wouldn''t be able to afford it. But now that he put it that way, even if she had to be thick skinned, she wanted to obtain this five catties of Green Dew Rice, hence she quickly replied, "Dao Friend Mo, if we go according to the market price of high grade Green Dew Rice, I can''t afford it. So I hope that you''ll look upon me favourably. How about for every catty I''ll offer 10,000 high grade god crystals and 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice?" After finishing her sentence, Ying Shushu''s face turned red. One catty of high grade Green Dew Rice for 10,000 high grade god crystals was simply too cheap, but she didn''t have more god crystals to give Mo Wuji, thus she could only be thick skinned in her request. However, it wasn''t that the high grade Green Dew Rice was worth more than this. In reality, one catty of high grade Green Dew Rice might not cost more than 10,000 god crystals. But this sort of perishable item was always lacking. If these five catties of Green Dew Rice were put up for auction, it would easily be sold for over 100,000 high grade god crystals. To thank Mo Wuji for his, Ying Shushu directly called a small character like Mo Wuji ''junior brother''. When Mo Wuji saw Ying Shushu''s expression, he knew that the high grade Green Dew Rice wasn''t only worth this much. However, since she could offer this price and still feel a little embarrassed, this obviously meant that she did not have enough god crystals but didn''t want to scam him. He graciously waved his hand and said, "So let''s do things as Senior Sister Ying proposed." "Thank you, Junior Brother Mo, if there''s anything you need help within the Minor High Firmament Sect, please feel free to ask me." Hearing that Mo Wuji agreed, Ying Shushu quickly thanked him and passed a ring over at the same time. Yao Lun, who had been standing at the side, also handed a ring over to Mo Wuji and said, "Junior Brother Mo, I''ve benefited from you this time." Immediately, Mo Wuji despised Yao Lun. This guy was too petty. This Green Dew Rice was obviously sold at a loss, and even if she said that he could go to look for her when he needed help, could he really approach her? This wasn''t a friend worth making. Zuo Xifeng followed suit, passing a ring to him, and explained, "Junior Brother Mo, I don''t have that many high grade god crystals, so I used some god spiritual herbs to make up for it. Take a look at it, if it isn''t enough, I''ll get a little less rice." Without taking a look at all, Mo Wuji received the ring and replied, "It''s enough, so there." "Many thanks, Junior Brother Mo. I can''t really help you with much in the Minor High Firmament Sect, but if it was outside, I still have a little brute force on my side." Zuo Xifeng even bowed while giving his thanks as saw how gracious Mo Wuji was In response, Mo Wuji nodded. Zuo Xifeng''s position in the sect was likely much lower than Yao Lun, but his words were much more tactful than Yao Lun''s. Mo Wuji knew why Zuo Xifeng said that he couldn''t be of much help in Minor High Firmament Sect, as Guang Zhi was still observing from a distance away. The reason why Yao Lun didn''t want to help was probably also due to Guang Zhi. It seemed like the backer behind Guang Zhi wasn''t that small, and Zuo Xifeng also knew that he couldn''t afford to offend that person. On the other hand, Mu Shuang and Jian Ji were still wealthier, as they easily took out 50,000 high grade god crystals and 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice. While Mu Shuang handed Mo Wuji the ring, she especially gave him a message, "Guang Zhi''s uncle is a deacon of the Minor High Firmament Sect''s Enforcement Hall." Now Mo Wuji understood everything: why Guang Zhi was just a Nascent God and yet could be a manager in such a profitable area. So he had an influential member of his family. However, Mo Wuji didn''t care, as he didn''t do anything wrong. If a deacon of the Enforcement Hall dared to invert black and white in front of a crowd, then Ying Shushu and co. wouldn''t have been this courteous towards him. This meant that in the Minor High Firmament Sect, rules were still adhered to. In a short period of time, Da Huang and Shuai Guo had harvested all of the Green Dew Rice in the plot of land. After scanning through the ring that Da Huang passed to him, Mo Wuji realised that the amount of Green Dew Rice seeds was as he expected: at least around 150 catties. He took out 25 catties and split it into 5 bags, giving Ying Shushu and co. one bag each. They thanked him once again. At this point, Mo Wuji didn''t bother with Guang Zhi at all, and Guang Zhi could only look around frantically. But Mo Wuji took the initiative to give a bag to Guang Zhi and said, "Manager Guang, this is the Green Dew Rice I''m submitted to the sect. There''s a total of 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice, please keep it well." With a snort, Guang Zhi rebutted, "Who told you that you only have to submit 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice? Your issue will be handled by the Enforcement Hall." "So Manager Guang, you don''t accept my Green Dew Rice?" Mo Wuji''s arm remained outstretched as he asked calmly. "You''re right, I''m not accepting it, what can you do?" Guang Zhi coldly replied. Thankfully, at this moment, Guang Zhi wasn''t disappointed as three beams of light landed on Mo Wuji''s plot of land. Out of the three people that arrived, one was a middle aged man with facial hair across his whole face. This middle aged man exuded a bloody aura all over, and he had obviously killed many before. One of the other two had a similar appearance as Guang Zhi, with triangular eyes. This guy was at advanced God Monarch, and probably was Guang Zhi''s uncle, Guang Ting. The last person was an old man that appeared wise and divine. Although Mo Wuji couldn''t get a read on the strength of old man and the middle aged man, they were likely at Worldly God Stage. Indeed, after those three men arrived, Ying Shushu and co. all bowed respectfully, while Guang Zhi ran to the front. From their greetings, Mo Wuji found out that the bearded middle aged man was the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, while the wise old man was an elder of the Minor High Firmament Sect. It seemed like the high grade Green Dew Rice that he planted had caused quite a commotion. Even the Enforcement Hall Hall Master and an elder were brought into the picture. "You''re Mo Wuji? You were the one that produced the high grade Green Dew Rice?" The elder asked. Mu Shuang, who was at the side, said to Mo Wuji, "Junior Brother Mo, this is the Fourth Elder of Minor High Firmament Sect, Zheng Changang. Other than Elder Zheng Changang, Hall Master Huo Sheng of the Enforcement Hall has arrived. That''s right, there''s also Deacon Guang Ting of the Enforcement Hall." While Ying Shushu''s desire for Green Dew Rice was much greater than Mu Shuang, Mu Shuang was evidently better at being tactful. At least now, Mo Wuji felt some gratitude towards her. It was just a simple introduction, but it gave him a rough idea of the situation. Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully, "Mo Wuji greets Elder Zheng, Hall Master Huo, and Deacon Guang. Reporting to Elder, I have indeed produced high grade Green Dew Rice." Immediately, Guang Zhi stepped forward and loudly said, "Reporting to Hall Master and Elder, Mo Wuji ignored Minor High Firmament Village''s rules, and is unwilling to pay the sect any rice. He cooked the high grade Green Dew Rice to eat and sold the rice on his own accord. On top of that, he harvested the entire plot of high grade Green Dew Rice in advance, which led to a great loss for the sect. If everyone in the Minor High Firmament Village were like this person, then how will the village be able to produce more Green Dew Rice for the sect? I would like to invite the Hall Master and Elder to judge this issue on behalf of Minor High Firmament Village." "Mo Wuji, did Guang Zhi''s statement wrong you in any way?" Huo Sheng asked in a cold tone. If it were not for Mo Wuji producing high grade Green Dew Rice, which was of great importance to the sect, he would have taken Mo Wuji away for forced questioning. How would he still bother to ask Mo Wuji questions this nicely? Calmly, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, "Replying the Deacon, Manager Guang''s words were absolutely correct. Before I started planting Green Dew Rice here I asked Manager Guang, and he told me that I only have to submit 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice to the sect, and I can deal with any excess rice that I produce however I wish." Guang Zhi pointed at Mo Wuji and loudly accused him, "You''re spouting nonsense. When you just came, I instructed you to submit at least 40 catties of Green Dew Rice, and the rice has to be grown on this plot of land." Elder Zheng, who had been silent all this while, frowned, "Manager Guang, if I didn''t see wrongly, this should be a grade D plot right? You asked a grade D plot owner to submit 50 catties of Green Dew Rice?" Obviously, Guang Zhi did not dare to be disrespectful to Hui Sheng, hence he quickly bowed and explained, "This was because Mo Wuji was sent over by Mountain Lord Mei Qianqian¡­" Mo Wuji immediately realised that the look on everyone''s eyes changed after Guan Zhi revealed that he was sent by Mountain Lord Mei Qianqian. Those were basically looks of disdain. Even Mu Shuang, who had been on his side, looked at him with a tinge of pity in her eyes. In his heart, Mo Wuji thought, "Could it be that this Mei Qianqian had some issues with the sect?" It was apparent that Guang Zhi anticipated this to happen, as the corners of his mouth curled up, and he continued speaking while in a bow, "After Mountain Lord Mei sent Mo Wuji over, she used the Mountain Lord Jade Token to ask me to give 10 catties of good quality Green Dew Rice Seeds to Mo Wuji to use. She also said that Mo Wuji was a master at planting Green Dew Rice and those 10 catties of seeds could produce at least 50 catties of rice. Under pressure then, I gave him the 10 catties. I am a manager of Minor High Firmament Village and based on the expected 50 catties of rice that Mo Wuji was said to be able to produce, I only asked for him to submit 40 catties that were grown on the plot. Back then, he agreed to it, but who knew that this plot of land would experience a sudden surge in earth energy, which allowed it to produce a batch of high grade Green Dew Rice. The outcome was clear for all to see, he went back on his word, got a plot of high grade rice by luck, and openly disregarded the rules of the Minor High Firmament Village." Mo Wuji could see the changes in how others looked at him after the fact that Mei Qianqian sent him here was revealed, and he was too lazy to explain himself. Hence, he just threw out a crystal ball and said, "Everyone please look at the video in the crystal ball for yourself. All explanations won''t be as direct as this." Chapter 955: I Took The Wrong One Just Now Chapter 955: I Took The Wrong One Just Now Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Once Mo Wuji''s imaging crystal ball was thrown into the air, Guang Ting immediately grabbed and crushed it into pieces. At the same time, he shouted out, "Hall Master and Elder asked you to tell the truth, not to use these underhanded means and use some sacred art to create some fake images." Zheng Changang coldly stared at Guang Ting but didn''t say a word. Whether the video was faked with a sacred art, could he, a Worldly God, not be able to see through it? The expression on Huo Sheng''s face was also very ugly. Could he not recognise that Guang Ting was afraid that the evidence Mo Wuji produced would be unfavourable for Guang Zhi? However, Guang Ting was one of his most able men, so he wasn''t willing to expose Guang Ting over an unimportant person. Yet, Mo Wuji smiled as though as he didn''t care about everything before him, "I understand now. So Manager Guang Zhi''s one sided story is the truth, while the evidence that I produce can''t be relied upon. If the Minor High Firmament Sect is such a sect, I have nothing to say." "Guang Ting, you''ve gone overboard this time." Huo Sheng appeared like he couldn''t take it anymore. He had a reputation for being just and strict in the Minor High Firmament Sect Enforcement hall, so if there wasn''t anyone else around, it wouldn''t be an issue. But today, not only was there Elder Zheng Changang, five other disciples were present as well. Thus how could it be possible for this issue of Guang Ting to remain under wraps? "Yes Hall Master, I indeed forgot my place as an enforcer and broke the rules of the enforcement hall. I''m willing to accept punishment for my actions." Guang Ting seemed to understand how wrong he was before and quickly bowed to apologise. In response, Zheng Changang casually replied, "You''re not suitable to continue being an enforcer of the enforcement hall, and as for your initial wrongdoing, Hall Master Huo will deal with it himself. I won''t bring this up to the Hall of Elders." When Huo Sheng heard Zheng Changang''s words, he bowed respectfully and replied, "Thank you, Brother Zheng, for the advice. Guang Ting, from now on, you''ll start going to the enforcement hall to take up external tasks." In terms of position, Zheng Changang might not have been as high up as Huo Sheng. However, Zheng Changang''s words helped to protect Huo Sheng''s reputation, otherwise, this incident would leave a black mark on him. "Roger, thank you, Hall Master, thank you Elder Zheng." Guang Ting quickly bowed respectfully. Deep inside, he didn''t mind. Taking up external tasks was the lifeline that the Hall Master gave him. All he had to do was to leave the sect to complete an assignment, and after he returned, he would once again return to his position as an Enforcement Hall Deacon. Zheng Zhangang turned to face Mo Wuji and asked, "Do you have any more evidence? If you don''t, I''ll need you and Hall Master Huo to return to the Enforcement Hall together to assist with investigations." Upon hearing this, Mu Shuang frantically whispered to Mo Wuji, "Junior Brother Mo, you must not go to the Enforcement Hall under any circumstances. Once you do, you''ll definitely die inside the execution hall without exception." Hui Sheng could obviously still hear Mu Shuang''s whispers, which prompted him to give a cold stare to her, making her so scared that she took a step back and lowered her head. There was no need for Mu Shuang''s reminder as Mo Wuji wouldn''t have gone with them anyway. Huo Sheng was filled with a bloody aura, so who knew how many people he had killed. It would be extremely unlikely that anything good would result from leaving with him. If he really wanted to protect Guang Ting, then Mo Wuji would just have to flee. With his current escape abilities, even if Huo Sheng tried, Huo Sheng still might not be able to catch him. Mo Wuji knew that Elder Zheng Changang was trying to help him, hence he bowed and reported, "I have a crystal ball here, please watch." After finishing his sentence, Mo Wuji threw out another crystal ball. At the same time, he said to the stunned Guang Ting, "Manager Guang, the crystal ball that you crushed just wasted a low grade god crystal of mine. Please don''t crush this one, I''m quite poor, so I''ll really go bankrupt if you crush a few more. That''s right, I took out the wrong one just now, this is the real crystal ball." While Mo Wuji spoke, he was laughing to himself inside. The place he lived on was Earth, where any words had to be backed up by evidence. A mere Guang Zhi dared to use a smear tactic on him, this was simply asking for death. Crushing the crystal ball, hehe, no matter how many crystal balls Guang Ting crushed, he still had more. Who would produce the original evidence when reasoning with a lawyer? Mo Wuji had a large number of copies, so Guang Ting could crush as many as he liked. Seeing Mo Wuji take out another crystal ball, Guang Ting was really stunned. He didn''t believe what Mo Wuji just said about taking out the wrong crystal ball as he was sure that both crystal balls were copies made by Mo Wuji. The thought that he had become the petty person, been mocked by a farmer, and punished by the Hall Master while nothing changed made Guang Ting turn gloomy. Killing intent brewed in his heart, and as long as Mo Wuji dared to leave Minor High Firmament Village, he would definitely eliminate Mo Wuji. Once Mo Wuji saw the expression on Guang Ting''s face, he knew what Guang Ting was thinking about, but he was not afraid. The people that hunted Mo Wuji down were all God Kings, so how could he be afraid of a mere God Monarch? This time, the crystal ball wasn''t damaged by anyone and the video was clearly displayed in midair. Mian He brought Mo Wuji into Guang Zhi''s house, Guang Zhi didn''t bother with them, then Guang Zhi only gave a plot of land to Mo Wuji and made Mo Wuji use 60 high grade god crystals to exchange for 60 low grade Green Dew Rice seeds. The dialogue between Mo Wuji and Guang Zhi after that was also shown clearly without any mistakes. Guang Zhi asked Mo Wuji to only submit 20 catties of Green Dew Rice a year and allowed Mo Wuji to take anything else that was planted on this plot of land as his own. On top of that, after this crystal ball was done, Mo Wuji took out another one. On it was a clear recording of Mo Wuji submitting 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice while Guang Zhi rejected it and said arrogantly ''what can you do about it''. Just this sentence was enough for Guang Zhi to be sentenced to death many times over. When Mo Wuji took out the crystal ball, everyone, including Ying Shushu, felt a chill through their spine. Although this Mo Wuji was very untalented, with not much cultivation, he did things in an impressive manner. They had seen the incident recorded in the second crystal ball, but no one expected that Mo Wuji recorded it secretly. No wonder he was so courteous back then. Yao Lun instinctively looked at Mo Wuji. This was just a person that merely planted Green Dew Rice, but still, he felt a little fearful. He even thought to himself whether the scene of the few of them taking advantage of Mo Wuji and obtaining five catties of high grade Green Dew Rice was recorded down by Mo Wuji as well. "It''s impossible, this can''t be happening¡­" Guang Zhi''s stared at the images in the crystal ball, and his voice was trembling. He was sure that Mo Wuji didn''t take out any crystal ball to record things down, so where did this one come from? If he knew that Mo Wuji had a spirit storage channel, and secretly made recordings using crystal balls many times before, perhaps he wouldn''t be that shocked. After Zheng Changang finished inspecting the contents of the crystal ball, he casually remarked, "The contents of the crystal ball are real, no falsification was done with sacred arts." How could Huo Sheng not know that the recordings were real, so his face suddenly turned black. If it were anyone else, this Enforcement Hall Hall Master would have smashed him to bits. However, after he killed Guang Zhi, Guang Ting might not continue working wholeheartedly for him. Obviously, Zheng Changang could see the dilemma that Huo Sheng experienced, and he asked Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, since you can grow high grade Green Dew Rice, you''ll have a position within the sect. Guang Zhi disregarded the sect rules, deceived his superiors, bullied his subordinates, inverted black, and white, and must be punished by the Enforcement Hall. What do you think?" How could Mo Wuji not understand Zheng Changang''s intentions. Zheng Changang was giving him the chance to let Guang Zhi off, and as long as he pleaded Huo Sheng, Huo Sheng would owe him one. Coldly laughing in his heart, Mo Wuji wasn''t one to repay a grudge with kindness. Since Guang Zhi tried to sentence him to death, he wouldn''t feel good until Guang Zhi was dead. However, Mo Wuji wasn''t a rash person who wanted to borrow Huo Sheng to kill Guang Zhi. If he were to kill Guang Zhi, it would be with his own hands, instead of gaining the moral high ground and forcing Huo Sheng to kill Guang Zhi. "Elder Zheng, Hall Master Huo, Manager Guang must have been a little irritable as he has too many plots of land to manage. I believe that this kind of mistake is unavoidable for anyone that takes up this responsibility, so why don''t we let him make amends?" Mo Wuji said with a big smile on his face. Even Guang Zhi stopped trembling as he stared at Mo Wuji, puzzled. Not even he believed that Mo Wuji would let him off at this time. In reality, things had already developed to this stage, so as long as Mo Wuji asked for the Enforcement Hall to go according to the book, Guang Zhi would be dead. Upon hearing this, Huo Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression eased up. He nodded at Mo Wuji then said to Guang Zhi, "You disobeyed the rules of Minor High Firmament Sect, hence you''ll be temporarily placed under probation for you manager position for a month. In this month, if you commit the same offence again, you will not be spared." "Roger, Guang Zhi. Thanks Hall Master for giving me a chance, and I will definitely manage the Minor High Firmament Village well for the Minor High Firmament Sect." Guang Zhi didn''t know why Mo Wuji gave him a chance and quickly knelt to the ground to thank Huo Sheng. No expression appeared on Mo Wuji''s face, as this was the outcome that he expected. After making such a mistake, Guang Zhi could actually still remain on probation as manager. It seemed like that uncle of Guang Zhi was a pretty important person in Huo Sheng''s eyes. Regarding Mo Wuji letting Guang Zhi off the hook, Guang Ting was very surprised as well, but he didn''t say anything. This only pushed back the murder of Mo Wuji a little further back. Mo Wuji had to be killed, just not now. "Mo Wuji, thank you for your magnanimity, I will reflect on my actions." Guang Zhi took the initiative to come before Mo Wuji to thank him. With a chuckle, Mo Wuji replied, "Manager Guang, I''ll still need you to take care of me in the future. That''s right, here are 20 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice, I''ll submit it to you." After speaking, Mo Wuji handed over a sack to Guang Zhi. This action stunned Guang Zhi, as he couldn''t comprehend why Mo Wuji still gave him 20 catties of Green Dew Rice after winning. All this was explained after Mo Wuji waved his hands and said, "Previously, although our agreement was for me to submit 20 catties of low grade Green Dew Rice, after thinking it through, I realised that I am here to plant Green Dew Rice for the sect, so naturally, the best rice has to be submitted. Handing it over to you is just temporarily placing the rice in your care." Mo Wuji thought to himself, "Indeed, it''s just temporary. If I don''t kill you tonight and get the Green Dew Rice, then I would have lived for nothing." Chapter 956: A Moonless And Windy Night Chapter 956: A Moonless And Windy Night Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Good, good." When Zheng Changang heard that Mo Wuji was so mature, he nodded his head repeatedly. Based on his original impression of Mo Wuji, even if he asked Mo Wuji to take a step back, Mo Wuji wouldn''t do so. The reason he said something like that before was not to get into too big of an argument with the enforcement hall''s Hall Master Huo Sheng. Who knew that things would play out differently, and Mo Wuji gave in. Not only did he give in, he gave such a great concession. After repeating ''good'' a few more times, Zheng Changang then asked, "Mo Wuji, you''re extremely talented at planting Green Dew Rice. If you have any requests, please bring them up." In response, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully, "Thank you Elder Zheng. I''ve planted Green Dew Rice for many years, and this level of experience was obtained by slowly experimenting. I hope that elder can help me set up an array to protect my Green Dew Rice." Zheng Changang chuckled, "That''s only natural. Actually, your Grade 1 defensive array is already pretty decent. Don''t worry, I''ll help you with the defensive array. If there''s anything else just say it. Sect head is not back yet, but once he is, with your abilities, it won''t be difficult for you to become an honorary elder of our Minor High Firmament Sect." At the same time, Huo Sheng laughed, "Mo Wuji, you''ve asked the right person for this. Elder Zheng is our sect''s god array master and can set up Grade 4 god arrays." To Huo Sheng, Mo Wuji didn''t allow the rift between him and his greatest helper, Guang Ting, to grow larger, so he was still rather satisfied. One had to know there were many undesirable things that he asked Guang Ting to help him settle behind the scenes, hence this assistant''s usefulness was not only in terms of work. Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji thanked them once again ''in shock''. He could even set up Grade 4 defensive arrays himself, but he didn''t do so out of fear that his Array Dao would be revealed. Once Zheng Changang helped to set up the defensive array, all he had to do was to remake it. Zheng Changang also nodded his head and continued on, "Mo Wuji, this matter of you being able to produce high grade Green Dew Rice is very important. Without a formal order from the sect, you better not leave the Minor High Firmament Village." "Roger, disciple understands." Mo Wuji replied while bowing. After offending an expert like Guang Ting, and with a plan to kill Guang Zhi, how would he dare to leave the Minor High Firmament Village as he pleased? Zheng Changang''s gaze fell on the remaining few disciples before he instructed fiercely, "No one can speak about what happened today." The five disciples all pledged not to leak any news about Mo Wuji, then they left. Once those disciples went away, Zheng Changang said to Mo Wuji, "I''ll help you set up a defensive array and a deathtrap array on the Green Dew Rice. This is my only interest." With a sigh, he carried on, "No wonder you could grow high grade Green Dew Rice. Everything goes back to the heart, and your heart is above all of this. Since that is the case, I''ll apply to the sect to give you as much power as possible." In response, Mo Wuji could only give his thanks. While Zheng Changang started setting up the defensive array and deathtrap array, Huo Sheng waited at one side. On the other hand, Guang Ting was not shameless enough to stay around, hence he brought Guang Zhi along and left. ¡­ "Uncle, I never thought that this person was so scheming, to actually record a video." After leaving Mo Wuji''s territory, Guang Zhi ground his teeth as he spoke. Guang Ting''s expression was very ugly, and he stared fiercely at Guang Zhi before saying, "Mo Wuji must die, but we touch him for the moment. We''ll wait for an opportunity when he leaves Minor High Firmament Village to strike. I don''t believe this guy can stay in the village for the rest of his life." "Uncle, I understand. This guy must be scared, which is why he submitted 20 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice. I''ll give the rice to you first." Guang Zhi took out the sack of rice as he spoke. A slap landed on Guang Zhi''s head, "Are you a pig, everyone knows that Mo Wuji submitted Green Dew Rice today. Can you give it to me? This is meant to be submitted to the sect. Since Mo Wuji is afraid, you can find a good time to get more rice from him. Remember, do not let this person get anything that can be used against you. He''s definitely not as simple as he appears to be. The only reason he didn''t go all the way against you today wasn''t due to magnanimity, but as he didn''t dare to make a move." "Roger, I understand." Guang Zhi quickly responded. "Uncle, there''s one more thing I must tell you." When Guang Zhi thought of Mo Wuji''s plot which was filled with golden Green Dew Rice, suspicion rose in his heart. He suspected that there were at least 100 catties of Green Dew Rice there. For this, Ying Shushu and co. probably had no idea about it. They only knew that Mo Wuji''s plot of land had a decent yield of rice, but as for how much rice, they definitely did not know it as clearly as this manager of the village. "What?" Guang Ting asked curiously. After hesitating for a short while, Guang Zhi said, "It''s about how much rice that can be harvested from Mo Wuji''s plot of land. Even I''m doubting my own judgment. When Old Man Gu comes back tomorrow, I''ll ask him to confirm it." Indeed, a plot of land to producing over 100 catties of Green Dew Rice, and high grade ones at that, was rather absurd, which was why Guang Zhi hesitated. This statement didn''t really incite a response from Guang Ting, as he only nodded his head, "Sure, just send me a message after that." From his perspective, no matter how impressive Mo Wuji was, the maximum a plot of land could produce was 60 catties of Green Dew Rice.IF he knew that Guang Zhi was going to say that the produce of Mo Wuji''s plot could possibly exceed 100 catties, he would have asked Guang Zhi to immediately look for Old Man Gu. ¡­ At the same time, the five disciples leaving Minor High Firmament Village were filled with joy. They had obtained five catties of high grade Green Dew Rice during this visit. It was simply free biscuits that fell from the heavens. "Senior sister, I didn''t expect Senior Brother Mo to actually let Guang Zhi off the hook." The youngest junior sister, Jian Ji, exclaimed. In her heart, Mo Wuji was very principled, and not the kind of person that would easily compromise, but who knew that when he was winning, he went for the compromise. Ying Shushu casually commented, "He''s being smart. If he didn''t compromise, what could he do? After acting against Guang Zhi, could he still remain in Minor High Firmament Village?" Since Mo Wuji could produce high grade Green Dew Rice and let the few of them benefit from it, Ying Shushu originally had a pretty good impression of Mo Wuji. However, after she heard that he was introduced by Mei Qianqian, this impression was completely ruined. Yao Lun seemed to know what Ying Shushu was thinking about, and he said with a smile, "That''s very normal. Mo Wuji is acquainted with Mountain Lord Mei, so their style of doing things should also be similar¡­" Previously, when he saw Mo Wuji take out the crystal ball, he was still slightly afraid of Mo Wuji. But now he felt that it was very funny. Mo Wuji was just a rice farmer, so with his position and status, what was there to be afraid of? ¡­ "Mo Wuji, you''ll be satisfied with this defensive array and deathtrap array." Zheng Changang handed a master array flag to Mo Wuji as he laughed. "This deathtrap array has an alarm function, so as long as someone attacks it, it''ll immediately trigger the alarm." "Many thanks, Elder Zheng. Although I can''t understand this deathtrap array, I can sense that it''s more than 10,000 times stronger than the array I set up before." Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully and thanked Zheng Changang, but deep inside he didn''t think that this deathtrap array was superior to his own. After finishing his sentence, he took out a sack and handed it to Elder Zheng, "Elder Zheng, this is the high grade Green Dew Rice that I produced, because I don''t have much left after submitting the required amount to the sect, this is all I can give to you, please take it." "Good, then I''ll help myself to it." How could the thought of asking Mo Wuji for high grade Green Dew Rice not have passed Elder Zheng''s mind while he helped Mo Wuji set up the arrays? As Mo Wuji only had one plot of land, submitted 20 catties, sold some to the few disciples, and now still gave him another six to seven catties of rice, he was very satisfied. Regarding the fact that Mo Wuji''s plot producing over 100 catties of Green Dew Rice, he didn''t see it, wasn''t very clear about such things, and above all, wouldn''t believe it. In front of Huo Sheng''s envious eyes, Zheng Changang kept the Green Dew Rice and passed a jade token to Mo Wuji, "This is my memory token. If you need anything in the sect next time, you can use it. As for your plot of land, if it needs to be changed or increased in size, you can take this token and look for Guang Zhi. All you have to do is ask him to help you to settle it." Mo Wuji didn''t reject it, and after keeping the token, he took out another sack to pass to Huo Sheng, "Hall Master Huo, there''s a few catties of Green Dew Rice in here for you. Thank you, Hall Master Huo for coming here in person for an issue of mine." Huo Sheng felt a little awkward, but this high grade Green Dew Rice was too good to give up. "Then I''ll graciously accept it." Huo Sheng kept the rice, and also gave a jade token to Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, this is the blameless token of the Enforcement Hall. As long as you have not done anything that seriously damages the sect, this jade token can be used. That''s right, producing high grade Green Dew Rice is a very big thing, and while the sect won''t interfere with how you deal with the extra rice, you should still be more careful about it." The meaning behind Huo Sheng''s words was very clear: for him not to randomly sell the Green Dew Rice. These words were of course bullsh*t, as he could obviously deal as he pleased with the rice that he grew as long as it was within the boundaries of the sect rules. Zheng Changang was very satisfied that Mo Wuji knew how to do things, so he patted Mo Wuji''s head while saying, "I''ll take my leave first, when the sect head is back, I''ll report your issues to him. Also¡­" After a short pause, Zheng Changang continue, "Mo Wuji, your future in the Minor High Firmament Sect is bright, so it''s best not to associate yourself too much with Firmament Pond Mountain." This time, Mo Wuji only bowed respectfully but didn''t respond. He could grow Green Dew Rice here thanks to Mei Qianqian, and a person shouldn''t forget his roots. While he didn''t know what Mei Qianqiang did, he knew for sure that he was indebted to her. Harvesting high grade Green Dew Rice was one thing, but more importantly, he unintentionally found out what was wrong with his heart''s state. Otherwise, he would probably still not know how to break through beyond his previous cultivation level. ¡­ Nights in the Minor High Firmament Village were the quietest. Even though most people here were cultivators, they spent their daytime tending to Green Dew Rice while at night, they would start meditating rather early. They still had to make use of whatever limited time to raise their cultivation level. The only person not resting was likely Mo Wuji. He put on a concealing low grade god armor and with the wind escape technique, disappeared from his own D79 plot. A moonless and windy night, perfect for murder and arson. Chapter 957: Why Did You Come To Offend Me Chapter 957: Why Did You Come To Offend Me Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations At dawn, Minor High Firmament Village was completely silent. The cultivators that planted Green Dew Rice had to tend to the plants by day, so they normally used the nighttime to cultivate in hopes that the dense god spiritual energy here would help them to progress a step forward. Although the village had an energy gathering array, and the god spiritual energy was more than sufficient, but no outside cultivators came in. Firstly, outsiders were prohibited from cultivating inside, and secondly, outsiders were not allowed to stay the night here. The only light that was on was perhaps the sixth floor of the stone building in the village. When Mo Wuji passed by the stone building, his spiritual will could even see Guang Zhi''s agitated expression. However, he did not directly eliminate Guang Zhi, instead, he wrapped around the building and landed beside the Minor High Firmament Village''s defensive array. The defensive array was also a Grade 4 god array, and it also had a similar alarm function. As long as someone dared to barge into the array, or if someone attacked it, the alarm would be activated immediately. Once that happened, the cultivators from the Minor High Firmament Sect would rush over her as fast as they could. A Grade 4 god array was enough for the village, as it would minimally require a Grade 4 god array master to break it. Under normal circumstances, the Minor High Firmament Village only produced low grade Green Dew Rice, and this wasn''t much in the God Continent. It could be purchased almost anywhere. The Grade 4 god array masters also had enough intermediate grade Green Dew Rice for their usage, so who would come here to steal low grade Green Dew Rice? Unless that Grade 4 god array master was an idiot, otherwise, no one of that caliber would risk offending the Minor High Firmament Sect to break the village''s Grade 5 defensive array just for some low grade rice. Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 god array master himself, so this defensive array wasn''t much to him. Within half an incense''s time, he had located its heart. ¡­ On the top floor of the stone building, Guang Zhi stared at the small pile of Green Dew Rice seeds before him in shock. Out of all these Green Dew Rice seeds, some had turned light gold, and as a person that managed Green Dew Rice for many years, how could he not know what this meant? This meant that the Green Dew Rice seeds that Mo Wuji produced were close to peak grade. One had to know that the seeds that he gave to Mo Wuji were merely low grade Green Dew Rice seeds. So what did it mean if Mo Wuji could use those seeds to grow nearly peak grade Green Dew Rice? Guang Zhi knew that peak grade Green Dew Rice required at least high grade Green Dew Rice seeds to produce. Guang Zhi clenched his fists in anger, then he let them go out grudgingly. Mo Wuji really didn''t know how to appreciate the situation he was in. If it wasn''t out of fear of Guang Zhi''s uncle, this fella could very likely not have given in. If this guy could understand the situation more clearly and work for him, Guang Zhi, then he would¡­ Forget it, this guy must be killed. Mo Wuji could use low grade Green Dew Rice seeds to grow high grade Green Dew Rice, hence it meant that Mo Wuji had some methods to do so. As long as he could force this information out of Mo Wuji before killing Mo Wuji, the person that would be able to produce high grade Green Dew Rice would be him, Guang Zhi. "Isn''t this Green Dew Rice excellent?: A sudden voice interrupted the fantasy of high grade Green Dew Rice that Guang Zhi was immersed in, and he abruptly raised his head. A man in black clothes stood in front of his, obviously the source of the voice. "Who are you?" Guang Zhi''s tone turned harsh after instinctively backing up a few steps. "This is Minor High Firmament Sect''s Minor High Firmament Village. Once you attack, the Minor High Firmament Sect will know immediately." "I just passed you these Green Dew Rice during the day, have you forgotten me already?" Mo Wuji chuckled. He might have altered his appearance, but his voice did not change. Finally, Guang Xhi understood what was going on, "You''re Mo Wuji. How dare you come to my territory. You''re courting death." When he heard that the person before him was Mo Wuji, Guang Zhi''s heart was instantly put to ease. If it were some stranger, he would really be rather fearful. But for Mo Wuji, he was not afraid. His uncle had told him that Mo Wuji was at most at elementary Nascent God. Even if his uncle was wrong and Mo Wuji was an intermediate Nascent God, he wouldn''t be afraid either. No matter how lousy he, Guang Zhi, was, his cultivation level was at least at Nascent God Level 7. There still existed a large gap between advanced and intermediate Nascent Gods. Although Guang Zhi had calmed down, his spiritual will continued to spread out. He wasn''t afraid of Mo Wuji, but he was scared that Mo Wuji brought back up. Thankfully, his spiritual will didn''t pick up any traces of other people, which made him heave a sigh of relief. "Since you''re here, then don''t leave." Guang Zhi reached out to grab Mo Wiji But just when he took a step out, it felt like a sort of whirlpool domain was sweeping towards him and his own domain was like a thin piece of paper against Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain: tearing apart in an instant. Not good, Mo Wuji''s cultivation level definitely wasn''t at elementary Nascent God. This was at least a Heavenly God. Guang Zhi became frightened stiff and wanted to flee, but soon he discovered that the entire space around him was locked up. In the next moment, Mo Wuji''s hand was stretched out towards him until it directly wrapped around his neck. Then he was lifted up like a small chicken. The Nascent God Level 7 Guang Zhi couldn''t even lift a finger against the Nascent God Level 4 Mo Wuji. "You''re probably intending to screw me over with that cheap uncle of yours right? What a pity, I won''t give you the chance to do so anymore. Also, this Green Dew Rice was originally mine, so I''m taking it back today>" After speaking, Mo Wuji swept up the 20 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice that Guang Zhi opened up to take a look at, and at the same time took away Guang Zhi''s ring. "Mo Wuji, you can''t touch me, my uncle¡­" Guang Zhi only managed to say a few words before he felt the hand tighten around his neck, then he couldn''t say anything. Mo Wuji sighed, "What''s the point of you speaking? I just want to peacefully spend a period of time here, so when did I ever offend you? Why did you have to offend me too?" With the last two words, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will shot out, cracking Guang Zhi''s sea of consciousness and before his primordial spirit could escape, a ball of fire landed on his body. In a few breath''s time, Guang Zhi turned into a pile of ashes which disappeared completely as Mo Wuji swept his hand across. After killing Guang Zhi, Mo Wuji didn''t go back to his plot, but instead exited the defensive array from the array core that he chose, changed his position, and attacked the defensive array violently. Following his first strike on the defensive array, a shrill alarm sounded off. The entire Minor High Firmament Village was startled, but no one rushed out to take a look at what was going on. Everyone planting rice at the village were cultivators with either low cultivation levels or low talent. They were putting their lives on the line here for a sliver of hope, so no one would send himself into the grave because of an alarm. Within a short half an incense''s worth of time, Mo Wuji tore open the defensive array of the Minor High Firmament Village. Then he used the Wind Escape Technique to travel back into his D79 plot. ¡­ Less than half an incense''s time after Mo Wuji left, over ten figures charged into Minor High Firmament Village and landed on the building''s sixth floor that Guang Zhi was. "Guang Zhi was killed, there''s the aura of Guang Zhi being immolated here." The person that spoke was Fourth Elder Zheng Changang that just came during the day. "It was probably caused by that 20 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice. New of the rice has leaked." Another elder remarked. The few others around didn''t say anything in response. Obviously, everyone thought that this elder was right. News that Mo Wuji produced a plot of high grade Green Dew Rice had spread across the entire Minor High Firmament Sect in a short period of time. Even a few elders had planned to visit Mo Wuji during the day. Who knew that before the day broke, something had happened the manager of Minor High Firmament Village, "Not good, could something have happened to Mo Wuji?" Huo Sheng suddenly recalled that the Green Dew Rice was produced by Mo Wuji, and since Guang Zhi was killed for 20 catties of the rice, could Mo Wuji still be ok? Zheng Changang shook his head, "No, I personally set up Mo Wuji''s defensive array and the alarm hasn''t been triggered." While that was the case, the elders were already rushing at top speed towards the D79 plot where Mo Wuji resided. When the defensive array was contacted, Mo Wuji opened it with a puzzled look on his face. Once he saw Huo Sheng, Zheng Changang, and other elders that he did not recognise, he bowed respectfully and asked, "Hall Master Huo, Elder Zheng, you''re¡­" Zheng Changang waved his hand as he replied, "It''s nothing much. In the future, you must remember to trigger the alarm as soon as the defensive array is attacked." The puzzled look remained on Mo Wuji''s face, but he bowed respectfully once more to acknowledge that he understood what Elder Zheng was saying. "Let''s go, we''ll go to check the room that Guang Zhi was in." After reminding Mo Wuji, Zheng Changang said to the rest. A group of people landed in the room Guang Zhi was at once again, and Guang Ting, who was following behind them, couldn''t help but say, "Guang Zhi was killed for 20 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice while Mo Wuji produced a whole plot of it, so why is he ok?" Zheng Changang turned to look at Guang Ting as he casually said, "Guang Ting, I understand what you''re implying. Information that Guang Zhi had 20 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice on him was leaked out, which led to his death. Based on this fact alone, we are all suspects because only we know of this. On the other hand, how many people are there that know that Mo Wuji had produced a plot of high grade Green Dew Rice? Moreover, I''m sure that there isn''t much high grade rice left with him either. Mo Wuji tended to a total of one plot only, so even if the entire plot was filled with high grade Green Dew Rice, how much could he harvest? According to my investigation, he sold 25 catties to disciples from the sect, submitted 20 catties to Guang Zhi, and Huo Sheng and I received a few catties from him. Adding all of this up, it''s already over 50 catties. Guang Ting, how much Green Dew Rice do you think a plot of land can produce?" Another elder added on, "I agree with Elder Zheng. Even if someone found out that Mo Wuji had Green Dew Rice, he wouldn''t touch Mo Wuji. Firstly because once he snatched the 20 catties of rice from Guang Zhi, there probably wasn''t enough time to go to break through Mo Wuji''s defensive array. Secondly, he also likely guessed that Mo Wuji wouldn''t have much Green Dew Rice even if there was any left." However, a thought flashed through Guang Ting''s mind. He recalled Guang Zhi''s conversation with him. Guang Zhi suspected that Mo Wuji''s plot had a frightening production capacity, to the point that Guang Zhi couldn''t believe it, but he didn''t take note of it then. How much would it be such that Guang Zhi couldn''t believe it? What if the production capacity of Mo Wuji''s plot greatly exceeded 50 catties? Chapter 958: Sect Head Xi Lingru Chapter 958: Sect Head Xi Lingru Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations If Guang Zhi was dead, that was that. But if Mo Wuji could really produce over 50 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice with every plot of land, then he should have some secrets on him. It was impossible to force someone to nurture something like Green Dew Rice, but he could make Mo Wuji cough up his methods for doing so. As for whether Guang Zhi was killed by Mo Wuji, Guang Ting never even thought about it. Although Mo Wuji had the most motive to kill Guang Zhi, this motive had to be backed up by ability. Even if Mo Wuji said that he killed Guang Zhi, Guang Ting wouldn''t believe him. "Sigh, it looks like our Minor High Firmament Sect''s defensive array has to be set up again. Grade 4 is obviously not enough. Once the sect head is back, we should find a God Array King to set up a Grade 5 defensive array." Zheng Changang sighed. The remaining people nodded their heads and agreed with Zheng Changang. Huo Sheng''s gaze turned to the distracted Guang Ting by his side, and he spoke with a very strict tone, "Guang Ting, I''ll leave it to you to investigate Guang Zhi''s murder. You must find out who did it as fast as possible. Even if my Minor High Firmament Sect doesn''t confront others, it doesn''t mean that anyone can come to bully us." "Hall Master Huo is right, my Minor High Firmament Sect isn''t a sect that anyone can bully." At that moment, an obviously skinny cultivator in brown robes walked in. When everyone saw this man enter, they bowed respectfully, "Greetings sect head." "The moment I heard that a capable man that can produce high grade Green Dew Rice appeared in my Minor High Firmament Sect, I rushed back immediately. Who would have known that an incident had occurred as well." The skinny man nodded at everyone as he spoke with a low voice. This was Minor High Firmament Sect''s Sect Head Xi Lingru, who was also the strongest expert of the sect at God King Level 4. "I''ve also heard about the issue between Guang Zhi and Mo Wuji. This person''s death isn''t worth mourning. Even if he wasn''t killed, I would have killed him myself when I returned. Did anything happen to Mo Wuji?" Xi Lingru went straight to the point without beating around the bush. "Mo Wuji is fine, we just went to check on him." Zheng Changang quickly responded. He knew that the sect head would favour Mo Wuji, but not to this extent. "Sect head, I''ll immediately ask Mo Wuji to come over." Cold sweat accumulated on the back of Huo Sheng. He had sat on the position of Hall Master for so many years, so how could he not understand the meaning behind his sect leader''s words? This meant that the sect leader was unhappy with him. Xi Lingru''s gaze swept across the room before he casually said, "What I meant was that everyone has been too negligent for Mo Wuji who can grow high grade Green Dew Rice. Not only did you allow Mo Wuji to give in to someone like Guang Zhi, you also put him in such a dangerous situation." At this point, Xi Lingru''s tone turned harsh, "Is our God Continent is stronger than the God Domain in terms of land size or richness of spiritual energy in the heaven and earth? No, it''s none of these. Instead, it''s because the God Domain has Green Dew Rice which can allow more cultivators to reach higher cultivation levels. I''m not sure where Mo Wuji came from, but since he can produce high grade Green Dew Rice, to the Minor High Firmament Sect, he is one of our greatest treasures. However, all of you have been to negligent in the way you''ve been treating Mo Wuji. Huo Sheng, what you want is not to summon Mo Wuji here, but for us to go over. Also, the way you dealt with Mo Wuji''s issue in the day has been very slipshod, to actually force Mo Wuji to have no choice but to let Guang Zhi go. If the Minor High Firmament Sect continues like that, how can we go to High God Land?" "Huo Sheng recognises his mistake." Although Huo Sheng''s killing intent was very strong, in front of Sect Head Xi Lingru, he didn''t dare to do anything. Now, Xi Lingru''s tone became warmer as he continued addressing Huo Sheng, "I know about all the messy things inside the Enforcement Hall. I''ll give you some time to clean up the entire Enforcement Hall and stop all those nonsense." "Roger." Huo Sheng''s back was already soaked in cold sweat. Who knew that the sect head was aware of all his small actions but just didn''t mention them before, trying to see if he would wake up his own idea. Turning his head to face Guang Ting, Xi Lingru added on, "You''ll go to the outer lands of the sect to work in our commercial business there. You don''t have to be involved in issues regarding the sect in the future. As for the incident of Guang Zhi''s murder, while he had it coming, the sect will still send people to investigate." "Roger." Guang Ting''s heart froze a good amount. He knew that there was totally no hope for him to return to the Enforcement Hall. Being punished to work in the commercial business of the outer lands meant that he had essentially been let go unless something big happened to the sect. "Elder Shi, Elder Zheng, and I will go to see Mo Wuji together. Hall Master Huo and Elder Min, the two of you will lead men to immediately investigate Guang Zhi''s murder." Xi Lingru decisively instructed everyone. ¡­ Just as Mo Wuji was contemplating whether this issue could be traced back to him, his defensive array was disturbed once again, which made him worry. Logically speaking, his plan should have been foolproof, so why did Elder Sheng still have to come over? After opening the defensive array, Mo Wuji didn''t see Huo Sheng, which made him slightly relieved. Huo Sheng''s absence meant that he was ok. "Mo Wuji, this is Minor High Firmament Sect''s sect head." Upon seeing Mo Wuji, Zheng Changang immediately introduced. Without waiting for Mo Wuji''s response, Xi Lingru smiled and said, "Mo Wuji, although you have not joined the Minor High Firmament Sect, in my eyes, you''re a member of our sect. As long as you''re willing, you can become an elder of the Minor High Firmament Sect immediately. My name is Xi Lingru, the present sect head of the Minor High Firmament Sect. Previously I was out in the God Continent tending to some issues, so I was a little late by the time I came back after hearing news about you." Mo Wuji was secretly shocked when he heard these words. Back at Tian Ji Sect, he felt that the sect head was already very approachable. But now this Xi Lingru spoke more warmly than Tian Ji Sect''s Sect Head, almost treating him as an equal. "Rice Farmer Mo Wuji greets Sect Head." Xi Lingru might have been very courteous towards him, but Mo Wuji didn''t dare to be overly familiar with Xi Lingru. Xi Lingru simply waved it off, "What do you think of what I just said?" Mo Wuji never considered becoming a member of Minor High Firmament Sect, so he quickly replied, "Thank you sect head for your favour, but my greatest love is growing Green Dew Rice. Hence I''m not very interested in other things, and I''m not interested in become an elder of the sect. All of my time is spent on researching how to grow Green Dew Rice and cultivation." A disappointed look flashed through Xi Lingru''s eyes, following which he said, "Wuji, your ability is exceptional. I''m worried that once news of you spreads, it will cause some people to act against you¡­" Mo Wuji replied with a puzzled expression on his face, "I could grow high grade Green Dew Rice because I have a natural instinct about this. I know when I should add fertiliser and increase the god spiritual energy provided, and when to transfer a stalk of Green Dew Rice plant to somewhere else. These abilities were inborn, so even if they do anything to me, they won''t be able to benefit from it." "Green Dew Rice plants have to be transferred?" Xi Lingru asked as he was shocked. Mo Wuji answered very seriously, "Yes, but there''s a science behind when to transfer them and which plants need transferring. Even I do it based on instinct." "So that''s the case, no wonder¡­" Xi Lingru exclaimed. He didn''t doubt what Mo Wuji said because this theory of Mo Wuji sounded rather reasonable. Pausing for a short while, Xi Lingru carried on, "Wuji, I will invite a Grade 5 God Array master to set up the Minor High Firmament Village''s defensive array again. At the same time, I''ll add another god spiritual vein and send an elder to guard this place. If you have any issues, you can approach the elder for help directly." "Many thanks, sect head." Mo Wuji heard that this sect head viewed high grade Green Dew Rice as very important and felt that these measures could really benefit him. For his personal safety, for the short term, it was better for him to stay here. "Master Mo, since you can produce one plot of high grade Green Dew Rice, could you grow even more high grade rice?" Elder Shi, who had come with the sect head, directly referred to Mo Wuji as ''Master Mo''. He obviously recognised how much the sect head valued Mo Wuji, so it wasn''t a bad chance to improve the relationship between them. "This is the Minor High Firmament Sect''s Fifth Elder, Shi Yi." The already familiar Zheng Changang introduced once more. Obviously rather awkward, Mo Wuji replied, "Greetings Elder Shi. Based on my current level of ability, one plot is already too much. Even if you give me more land, I can''t produce more rice." To Mo Wuji, he wasn''t here just to plant Green Dew Rice. He also wanted to improve his cultivation level. Xi Lingru waved it off, "Let''s do it according to Wuji''s wishes. Whatever we can fulfill for him, we''ll fulfill for him. Wuji, for now, you won''t be under any pressure to submit high grade Green Dew Rice to the sect. You can spend all your time on researching peak grade Green Dew Rice, and once you can grow that, inform me immediately." "Disciple will remember." Mo Wuji thought to himself that this sect head was really very generous. "You should rest early. I will give the instruction that no one can meet you without your permission." Xi Lingru used this sentence to clarify and fix Mo Wuji''s position. ¡­ Everything played out as Sect Head Xi Lingru mentioned and Mo Wuji''s plot became very quiet. Even if elders wanted to meet him, they had to give an advance notice. As for those people that met him before, like Ying Shushu and co, they could no longer casually land on his territory like before. Half a month later, Mo Wuji finally understood what Sect Head Xi Lingru meant by adding an additional god spiritual vein. The god spiritual vein was placed right below his plot D79, which essentially meant it was for Mo Wuji''s personal use. The extremely dense god spiritual energy gushed upwards, and Mo Wuji knew that this was definitely a peak grade god spiritual vein. In such an environment, if he didn''t work hard at cultivating, he would be letting himself down. After Mo Wuji planted a plot''s worth of Green Dew Rice, he began tending to the plants while cultivating wholeheartedly. This time, he no longer used the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow, instead using high grade Green Dew Rice seeds and grafting them to better quality Five Leaf Grass. There was no use for energy gathering array disks anymore as there was a peak grade god spiritual vein below ground. The number of times he transferred the Green Dew Rice plants also became much greater. As long as any elemental type was lacking, he would transfer that stalk of Green Dew Rice plant away and set up a simple elemental gathering array. Since Xi Lingru treated him well, Mo Wuji felt that it was only right if he helped Xi Lingru produce peak grade Green Dew Rice. Chapter 959: Arrival Of Men From The Main Sect Chapter 959: Arrival Of Men From The Main Sect Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Initially, some elders and prominent members of the sect came to pay a visit to Mo Wuji. But as his attitude wasn''t very welcoming, and add to the fact that he didn''t have any high grade Green Dew Rice, the number of people that came gradually dropped. Everyone understood that while Mo Wuji was very impressive when it came to planting Green Dew Rice, he wasn''t one that enjoyed a crowd. At the same time, under the pressure of Sect Head Xi Lingru, Mo Wuji''s ability to produce high grade Green Dew Rice didn''t spread beyond the sect. Mo Wuji also began to quieten down. Following the constant grafting of Green Dew Rice plants, he discovered an interesting situation. One portion of the Green Dew Rice seedlings could never become balanced in the five elements no matter how they were grafted. Because of this, he could only move those plants with five elements imbalance to one area, and those with a balance to another. The usefulness of a peak grade god spiritual vein showed itself at this moment, as the Green Dew Rice plants flourished more and more inside the dense god spiritual energy. Although they weren''t ripe yet, every stalk of the plant was filled with long ears of Green Dew Rice seeds After the first time he did the planting, Mo Wuji''s cultivation level never stagnated again. As for cultivation resources, there was a peak grade god spiritual vein under his feet, and on top of that, he would occasionally cook some Green Dew Rice to eat, his current rate of absorbing god spiritual energy was frightening. Luckily this was in the Minor High Firmament Village, and there was a Grade 5 defensive array that Sect Head Xi Lingru invited a Grade 5 God Array King to set up. Otherwise, one''s spiritual will would be able to detect a whirlpool like form of god spiritual energy outside of Mo Wuji''s Grade 4 defensive array. The elder guarding the Minor High Firmament Village was Elder Shi Yi, who had already gotten used to seeing this whirlpool shaped god spiritual energy. If there wasn''t such a phenomenon, how could he have produced high grade Green Dew Rice? With such ideal conditions for cultivation and without any blockades for his heart state, in the short period of a few months time, Mo Wuji''s cultivation level increased from Nascent God Level 4 to Nascent God Level 5. While his cultivation level increased, Da Huang also reached Nascent God Level 5 and Shuai Guo reached the peak of Nascent God Level 3. And that was also when his second batch of Green Dew Rice was ready for harvest. When the grains of pure gold colour rice were kept away by Mo Wuji, he knew that he had produced peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds in his second batch. As for those plants that did not have balance five elemental laws, they ended up as Mo Wuji expected: producing high grade Green Dew Rice seeds. From growing this second batch of Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji had gained some experience. If he used these peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds to plant a third batch, his plants would be of even better quality. In this process, he had eliminated the lousier strains of rice plants, and only the strong prevailed. On top of that, he also understood why peak grade Green Dew Rice normally could not be produced. If he had spiritual roots, he wouldn''t be able to grow peak grade rice. How many people with spiritual roots could do the same as him and sense which of the five elements a stalk of Green Dew Grass plant was lacking with a touch? Hence there was no need to talk about producing peak grade Green Dew Rice. As for those mortals without spiritual roots, it was even less likely that someone could sense the five elements as he could. All these insights were gained from the two batches of Green Dew Rice that Mo Wuji planted, and he also suspected that there was a type of Green Dew Rice superior to peak grade Green Dew Rice: a Green Dew Rice that had a complete set of laws of every foundational type in the heaven and earth. However, it was still beyond him at this stage. This was mere the insights that Mo Wuji had on Green Dew Rice. As he grew the rice, his heart state kept improving, and he could barely sense a different kind of dao law of the world which was the problem with his Undying World. This problem wasn''t because his Undying World hadn''t gathered all five Elemental Origin Beads [1], but because of something else. In the background, this problem even limited his future potential. If he didn''t solve it quickly, perhaps his maximum achievement would only be slightly higher than God King. Sadly, his Green Dew Rice grew too quickly, thus he still did not have the time to fully understand what was wrong with his Undying World. In the second harvest, Mo Wuji collected 160 catties. Out of which 90 catties were peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds, 70 catties were high grade Green Dew Rice seeds, and 0 catties were intermediate and low grade. The 90 catties of peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds were sealed away with restrictions and placed in the Undying World, while for the 70 catties of high grade Green Dew Rice seeds, Mo Wuji planned to give away 20 catties to Minor High Firmament Sect''s Sect Head, Xi Lingru. As for the peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds, although he managed to produce them, he didn''t feel that it was the time to give them to Xi Lingru yet. Once the second harvest of Green Dew Rice was complete, the higher echelons of Minor High Firmament Sect caught wind of it almost immediately, and they began to send requests to meet. For these requests, Mo Wuji didn''t reject them. He told them upfront to use god spiritual herbs to trade for high grade Green Dew Rice, and the unit of measurement became ''taels'' as well. The amount of Green Dew Rice he could sell was merely a few tens of catties, so if he were to sell them by the catty like before, they would be sold out within three days. Now, the popularity of high grade Green Dew Rice was totally shown. Stalks of all sorts of god spiritual herbs were sent to Mo Wuji, and with the god spiritual herbs he had on hand at first, he decided not to plant the third batch of rice but instead chose to start studying pill refining. The reason he could progress in cultivation so quickly, other than his Immortal Mortal Technique and 108 meridians, was his expertise in Pill Dao. Now that he had reached Nascent God Level 5, his Pill Dao level had to rise as soon as possible. With God King Green Robe''s inheritance jade slip coupled with Mo Wuji''s own insights into Pill Dao, his pill refining skill improved rapidly. In a mere three days, he could easily concoct a Tier 1 god pill. Half a month later, he could concoct Tier 2 god pills, and when a month was over, Mo Wuji had become a Tier 3 God Pill Master. What made Mo Wuji puzzled was the lack of a visit by Xi Lingru. Xi Lingru had treated him well. Not only did Xi Lingru bury a peak grade god spiritual vein for him, but he also sent an elder level expert to guard the area. While on the surface the elder was instructed to guard the village, but in reality, Mo Wuji knew that it was to guard or monitor him. From Mo Wuji''s perspective, Xi Lingru did all of this on the pretext of getting Green Dew Rice. Logically speaking, after he harvested the second batch of rice, Xi Lingru should have taken the initiative to come over. But now, over a month had passed and he hadn''t even seen the shadow of Xi Lingru. ¡­ Actually, Xi Lingru wanted to go over to Mo Wuji''s plot since a long time ago, but he couldn''t step away from his job. This was because the Minor High Firmament Sect had an important issue recently: the High Firmament God Sect that had ignored them for a very long time finally sent people over. There was one man and one woman that came over, and it was rumored that they were important members of the High Firmament God Sect. The man was named Chi Kun, and he was very tall, with a cultivation level of Worldly God Level 4. The woman was only at Heavenly God Level 7, always wore a veil, and didn''t speak much. Even Xi Lingru only knew that she was a legacy disciple of the sect named Yu Ruo. The Minor High Firmament Sect had always considered themselves a branch of the High Firmament God Sect from the High God Land although the High Firmament God Sect never cared about them at all, so it was almost like a one sided love affair. Now the long awaited visit by members of the High Firmament God Sect had happened, which made the Minor High Firmament Sect explode in excitement all over. While both of their cultivation levels were far below Xi Lingru''s, the Minor High Firmament Sect''s Sect Head still dropped everything on hand to accompany these two envoys to explore the entire Low God Lands. Unfortunately, those two envoys neither mentioned why they were here nor said that they were going to support the Minor High Firmament Sect. They only let Xi Lingru follow them around the Low God Lands aimlessly. Regardless how much Xi Lingru probed, they did not breathe a single word, and he just couldn''t do anything about it. All he could do was to visit the various large sects with the envoys, followed by the markets and shops. Thankfully the Minor High Firmament Sect was still considered to be a top sect of the Low God Lands, and with the envoys of the High Firmament God Sect tagging along, they were welcomed with open arms wherever they went. In the month that passed, Xi Lingru could roughly sense what the two envoys were here for: they seemed to be very interested in Green Dew Rice. Any sect or faction that could grow intermediate grade Green Dew Rice was visited multiple times. After he realised that the High Firmament God Sect''s members were here for Green Dew Rice, Xi Lingru gave up asking them completely. Minor High Firmament Sect''s Mo Wuji was one person that he all the more didn''t think about giving away. Mo Wuji could grow high grade Green Dew Rice, and with his immense support perhaps peak grade Green Dew Rice could even be produced in the future. Even if the High Firmament God Sect came, he wouldn''t want to send such a talent away. Four months after arriving in the Small God Lands, the two High Firmament God Sect envoys finally stopped roaming around and followed Xi Lingru back to the Minor High Firmament Sect. "Sect Head Xi, you should be able to guess what our goal is. We didn''t tell you before as we didn''t want you to read too much into it. We came to the Low God Lands this time, other than to visit the Minor High Firmament Sect, to more importantly find a person capable in growing Green Dew Rice and bring him back to the High Firmament God Sect." After they arrived in the Minor High Firmament Sect, Chi Kun openly declared their aim. Xi Lingru appeared to be very generous, "The Minor High Firmament sect has built up quite a name for ourselves after many years in the Low God Lands. As long as the main sect has any request, I, Xi Lingru, would definitely try my best to help." Chi Kun nodded, "This time I have my eyes on two people. One is the house lord of the Green Lord Merchant House. After going through the Low God Lands for so long, he''s probably the only person that can grow high grade Green Dew Rice. There''s also Purple Sword God Path''s Honorary Elder He Pu. He''s been able to grow top quality intermediate grade Green Dew Rice. Help me invite these two individuals over, and at the same time promise their sect and merchant house that as long as they go to help the High Firmament God Sect for two years, they will be able to obtain a piece of Land of God Spiritual Energy in the High God Lands and go under the protection of the High Firmament God Sect." "What?" Xi Lingru suddenly shot up from his seat, and he became a little hesitant. The Minor High Firmament Sect had always been a branch of the High Firmament God Sect partially to go to the High God Lands. But sadly even barren land in the High God Lands had an owner. What Chi Kun promised was essentially what he, Xi Lingru, had always dreamed of. [1] The Water/Fire/Wood/Metal/Earth Elemental Beads will be referred to as X Origin Beads to reduce confusion between the Five Elemental Beads and Origin Beads. All of them are on the same level and more or less equivalent, but each represents a basic law of heaven and earth. Chapter 960: The Commotion At Mo Wuji’s Doorstep Chapter 960: The Commotion At Mo Wuji¡¯s Doorstep Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Seeing Xi Lingru''s appearance, how could Chi Kun not understand what he meant, but Chi Kun just chuckled while saying, "Sect Head Xi doesn''t have to mind. This situation is very unique, and once it''s over, the High Firmament God Sect will open an outer disciple pathway. A portion of the outstanding disciples of Minor High Firmament Sect will be allowed to enter the outer division of the High Firmament God Sect." Xi Lingru grit his teeth and clenched his fists while replying, "Dao Friend Chi, I shouldn''t have been too selfish before. Actually, there''s a person in the Minor High Firmament Sect that''s very capable in planting Green Dew Rice, and he even produced a plot of land of high grade Green Dew Rice a couple of months back. Look, this is the high grade rice that he produced." After finishing his statement, Xi Lingru took out a fistful of the long grains of rice with golden stripes and placed them on the side table. A light rice fragrance wafted over, giving everyone who smelled it a boost to their concentration. These were high grade Green Dew Rice; those that Elder Zheng Changang gave to him. "These are really high grade Green Dew Rice..." Chi Kun swept up the tens of grains of rice on the table, excited to the point that his hands were trembling. Every single grain of the rice was extremely plump, and the gold striped were very dense as well, which meant that they were close to becoming peak grade Green Dew Rice. He immediately peeled a grain of Green Dew Rice and popped it into his mouth, and the aura that invaded his spirit channels made him close his eyes in an instant. A moment later, Chi Kun opened his eyes excitedly and exclaimed, "Sect Head Xi, quickly bring me to meet this talent. It''s all my fault, I should have told you my aim at the start¡­" To Chi Kun, what shocked him more was that this Green Dew Rice had been produced less than a year ago. On the God Continent, there was increasingly fewer high grade Green Dew Rice that was grown within a year ago as most of them had been sold and resold many times over. Even the ever calm woman that always followed by Chi Kun''s side suddenly had an excited look in her eyes. She didn''t eat the Green Dew Rice, but she still saw the entire process of Chi Kun peeling the rice and smelled the aroma. In terms of high grade Green Dew Rice, there weren''t many people that ate more of it than her. As he felt that his statement wasn''t comprehensive enough, Chi Kun added on, "Sect Head Xi, don''t worry. As long as that farmer can really produce high grade Green Dew Rice, then it might even be possible for the entire Minor High Firmament Sect to move to the High God Lands." This was the sentence Xi Lingru was precisely waiting for, and he quickly replied, "My two eminent envoys, please follow me." ¡­ When Xi Lingru brought Chi Kun and Yu Chuo to the Minor High Firmament Village, they were shocked by the scene before them. Mo Wuji''s D79 plot was filled with people, and most of them had a number card in their hands. Xi Lingru frowned. What was going on here? Didn''t he instruct Mo Wuji not to reveal that he could grow high grade Green Dew Rice? Even if Mo Wuji needed to do some trading, where did he get so much Green Dew Rice to sell? "Greetings sect head, greetings Dao Friend Chi Kun and Dao Friend Yu Chuo." Elder Shi Yi, who was standing guard at one side, saw that the sect head brought two envoys from the High Firmament God Sect over and sighed to himself. He knew that the news of Mo Wuji being able to grow high grade Green Dew Rice must have leaked out. Deep in his heart, he really didn''t want Mo Wuji to leave the Minor High Firmament Sect. While he stood guard here, not only did he enjoy the god spiritual energy around Mo Wuji''s peak grade god spiritual vein, Mo Wuji also gave him a few catties of high grade Green Dew Rice from time to time. In this short span of four to five months, Mo Wuji had already given him a total of five catties of rice, and all of them was of high grade. One could imagine that the amount he received would grow as the amount of high grade Green Dew Rice that Mo Wuji harvested increased. "What''s going on? Even if Wuji can grow high grade Green Dew Rice, he shouldn''t be able to produce that much of it. Why are there so many people here to trade with him? Why have outer disciples even come to trade too?" Xi Lingru''s expression turned a little ugly. He had asked Shi Yi to stay here to protect Mo Wuji, and with so many people around, what kind of protection was it? Shi Yi could understand what his sect head meant, but he couldn''t do anything about it. This was requested by Mo Wuji, and he couldn''t afford to offend Mo Wuji right? "Reporting to sect head, actually most of these people are not here to buy Green Dew Rice from Mo Wuji, but they''re here to request for pills¡­" "Request for pills?" Xi Lingru interrupted Shi Yi, "They came here to request for pills?" Shi Yi could only continue explaining, "Sect head doesn''t know yet, but Wuji is a top notch Tier 3 God Pill Refiner. He can even barely concoct Tier 4 god pills. The pills that Wuji produce are extremely high quality, and all these people are here to request for god pills. Many people from other sects can''t enter this place, so they resort to asking some outer disciples and inner disciples of our Minor High Firmament Sect to trade on their behalf, hence you see these many people here." "Wuji is also a Tier 4 God Pill Master?" Xi Lingru was stunned. Those who could make god pills of tier 3 and below were god pill refiners, while those who could concoct tier 4 god pills were God Pill Masters, also known as Quasi God Pill Kings. Only those who could concoct Tier 5 god pills would be called God Pill Kings. In his heart, Xi Lingru began to regret. How valuable was a Tier 4 God Pill Master to a sect? There wasn''t even a single Tier 4 God Pill Master in the entire Minor High Firmament Sect, much less one who could produce pills of high quality. Moreover, since Mo Wuji displayed talent in this area, he might even advance to Tier 5 God Pill King in the future. "No wonder he can grow high grade Green Dew Rice. He''s actually a God Pill Master." Chi Kun exclaimed as he became more curious who this Mo Wuji was. A God Pill Master who could also grow high grade Green Dew Rice - the contributions to the sect from this sort of person would be unparalleled. As though as he could sense Xi Lingru''s sentiments, Chi Kun quickly assured, "Sect Head Xi, don''t worry, as long as Mo Wuji can really grow high grade Green Dew Rice, Minor High Firmament Sect moving to the High God Lands will definitely happen." At this juncture, what could Xi Lingru say? It was too late to even go back on his word. Now Chi Kun couldn''t bother waiting for Xi Lingru''s introduction and he took the initiative to push his way to the front of the crowd. If Chi Kun wasn''t as strong as he was, there would have been people that made complaints. "Wait, who are you? Get in line, the queue starts from the back¡­" Shuai Guo shouted as he saw Chi Kun squeeze his way to the front. Da Huang was immersed in cultivation and Mo Wuji was occupied with making pills and collecting god crystals and god spiritual herbs, so these things were left to Shuai Guo. This job was right down Shuai Guo''s alley as well. "What a godbeast." Yu Chuo, who had been silent up till now, exclaimed as her eyes lit up when she saw Shuai Guo. Godbeasts were not as rare on God Continent as they were in the Immortal World, but not everyone had a godbeast. Similarly, not every demonic beast on God Continent could be considered a godbeast. Chi Kun grinned, "Actually this bird isn''t that simple. I suspect that it''s a mutant, only that its bloodline is so diluted that it''s almost gone." By then, Xi Lingru had walked over as well. He was the sect head, so once he revealed his face, the crowd automatically opened up a path for him. Since Xi Lingru knew Shuai Guo, he took the initiative to speak to Shuai Guo, "These two people are important guests of the Minor High Firmament Sect, so please inform your master Wuji." "So it''s sect head that has graced us with his presence, I''ll inform him immediately." Shuai Guo also recognised Xi Lingru, and as this was Minor High Firmament Sect''s Sect Head, it didn''t dare to ask him to join the queue. ¡­ Mo Wuji sent a batch of high grade Amplified Rain Pills into a jade bottle. This batch of pills only cost him an incense''s worth of time. If he spent a little longer on them, he could even concoct a batch of unique grade Amplified Rain Pills. Amplified Rain Pills were Tier 3 antidote god pills, and making unique grade Tier 3 god pills would mean that Mo Wuji was already a God Pill Master. In reality, it was so. Now, Mo Wuji could concoct Tier 4 god pills. The reason he didn''t make much and told others that the chances of him successfully making the pills were low was because only a rare few out of all those that came requesting for pills could provide him with satisfactory compensation. Hence, Mo Wuji just told others that his percentage of success for concocting Ter 4 god pills was low. If anyone wanted Tier 4 god pills made, they would have to give enough compensation or at least give him three sets of god spiritual herbs for one batch of god pills, on top of paying god crystals. "My Lord, Sect Head Xi is here." Shuai Guo quickly reported as it saw Mo Wuji collecting the pills. Mo Wuji shot up and replied, "Quick, quick, invite Sect Head Xi inside." "Ha ha, Wuji, has my unexpected arrival interrupted you?" Xi Lingru''s booming voice echoed through the house. "No it hasn''t, I''ve been expecting sect head''s visit." As Mo Wuji opened the restriction of his door and walked out of the pill room, Xi Lingru brought two people into the immortal estate. Xi Lingru automatically introduced them, "Wuji, let me introduce you. These two are from High God Lands'' High Firmament Sect, Dao Friend Chi Kun, and Dao Friend Yu Chuo." While Mo Wuji had his doubts, he still bowed respectfully as a greeting. Chi Kun reciprocated with a smile, "Greetings Pill Master Mo, I never thought that Dao Friend Mo was actually a God Pill Master." Now, he was even more shocked than before. Mo Wuji''s spirituality was almost non-existent, which meant that Mo Wuji was very untalented. It wasn''t unusual for an untalented person to become a good rice farmer. But surprisingly, Mo Wuji could actually become a God Pill Master with his level of talent. This was simply too unbelievable. Yu Chuo also bowed respectfully while greeting Mo Wuji. Inside, she felt as shocked as ever too. Mo Wuji lacked the talent for cultivation, but somehow had the aptitude for pill refining. How could something like this happen? Mo Wuji smiled as he replied, "My talent is very average, hence I''ve spent all my time on planting Green Dew Rice and pill refining. After all these years, it yielded at least a few results." Xi Lingru chuckled, "Wuji, if this is considered a few results, then we''ve all wasted our lives all these years." Mo Wuji didn''t want to carry on with this conversation, so he directly asked, "What has sect head come to me for?" With an awkward grin, Xi Lingru was about to reply, when a sudden commotion came from the outside. As Mo Wuji''s spiritual will scanned out, he immediately saw a familiar face charging in his direction, but many people were blocking her way, not allowing her to enter. Everyone was in the queue, and no one cared about the strong ones that cut the queue. However, now a mere Heavenly God cultivator dared to cut as well, and this left a bad taste in everyone''s mouth. "Shuai Guo, bring Elder Sister Mian He in." Mo Wuji said without hesitation. He was indebted to Mian He, and now that she came rushing over frantically, there must have been something that happened. Chapter 961: Mei Qianqian’s Reputation Chapter 961: Mei Qianqian¡¯s Reputation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Wuji, please save my lady." Mian He broke down into tears after entering the living room of Mo Wuji''s immortal estate. She didn''t have any other options. If she hadn''t heard by chance that Mo Wuji could grow Green Dew Rice and received the favour of the sect head, she wouldn''t even have this last lifeline. "Miss Mian He, sit down and speak slowly. There''s no rush." Mo Wuji quickly said. Only then did Mian He notice that the sect head and Elder Shi was here, hence she frantically bowed respectfully. "Mian He, what happened?" Xi Lingru frowned as he asked. Even he knew that the Firmament Pond Mountain was looked down upon in the sect, but he had promised Mei Qianqian''s husband, You Zhuo, that he would take care of Mei Qianqian. Hence, he had looked after her all this while, even giving her the Firmament Pond Mountain that You Zhuo left behind. Seeing that the sect head was also at Mo Wuji''s place, Mian He was a little more confident. "Jing Wei killed Elder Sister Mei Lu and Elder Sister Qiu Ling and beat my lady to a pulp. He also detained my lady, and made her¡­" Mian He didn''t continue speaking, but from her tears, Mo Wuji knew that Mei Qianqian was in danger. When he heard their conversation, Xi Lingru''s expression turned ugly, and he didn''t really want to discuss this matter anymore, immediately saying, "I got it. Leave first, I''ll deal with this when I return." Upon hearing this, Mian He''s face turned pale, and she stared pleadingly at Mo Wuji. Although she knew that Mo Wuji owed his position to the sect head''s favour, as of now her pleas seemed to be useless. However, she didn''t have any other option. Mo Wuji bowed respectfully towards Xi Lingru, "Sect head, I am indebted to Elder Sister Mei, so I hope that I can help her once." This placed Xi Lingru in a spot. He was furious at Jing Wei who ignored his instructions, but yet he couldn''t deal with Jing Wei either. Yu Chuo, who stood at the side holding her veil, spoke, "Killing a disciple within the sect for no reason. Even if it were a service disciple, this is definitely not allowed in the High Firmament God Sect. Even if that person was the sect head, it wouldn''t be permitted either." All this while, Mo Wuji thought that Yu Chuo''s cultivation level was much lower than Chi Kun''s while her position seemed to be above Chi Kun. Indeed, right after Yu Chuo finished speaking, Chi Kun turned to face Mo Wuji and asked, "Pill Master Mo, how do you think this issue should be handled?" Mo Wuji bowed respectfully at Chi Kun before doing the same towards Xi Lingru, "Sect head, I think we should bring Mei Qianqian and Jing Wei here for questioning so that we may learn the truth." While it was Chi Kun trying to help them out, but Mo Wuji couldn''t directly ask Chi Kun for help. He was this clear about following the correct chain of command. Just as Yu Chuo had said, Jing Wei killed at a whim in the sect, so he was obviously not some good apple. Once everyone was brought over for questioning, no matter how much higher ground Jing Wei had, Mei Qianqian wouldn''t be reduced to being beaten up. A troubled expression appeared on Xi Lingru while he said, "Wuji, why don''t we just summon Mei Qianqian and leave Jing Wei out¡­" But Mo Wuji didn''t respond, so how should he have carried on? Helping to get Mei Qianqian let Wei Jing go was just something not worth doing. Chi Kun sighed at one side, "Sect Head Xi, I admire your cultivation level and foresight, but there doesn''t seem to be much of a point to go to the High God Lands if this is how you deal with internal sect affairs." If this was before they met Mo Wuji, then Chi Kun wouldn''t have dared to say such things. For an experienced old man like him, how could he not know that the main priority was to build a connection with Mo Wuji? Everything else would be easier to negotiate for if Mo Wuji had a good impression of him and there was some rift between Mo Wuji and Xi Lingru. These words made Xi Lingru''s heart shudder. As the head of a sect, how couldn''t he understand what Chi Kun meant? Once Mo Wuji fell out with him, and directly left with Chi Kun, then his Minor High Firmament Sect would not be able to get anything. "Elder Shi, quickly bring all the involved people over." Xi Lingru ordered without hesitation after thinking through the entire incident. Moreover, he was very decisive. Not only was Jing Wei brought over, the rest of the people involved were summoned as well. "Roger." Elder Shi disappeared with a flash. Since the last time Guang Zhi was killed in Minor High Firmament Village, transfer arrays were set up between Minor High Firmament Village and Minor High Firmament Sect. Mian He had to use a escape talisman to arrive here after traveling for a long time while Elder Shi Yi only had to activate the array to return to the sect. When Elder Shi Yi left, Mo Wuji said to Xi Lingru, "Thank you sect head." Following which, he also thanked Chi Kun and Yu Chuo before saying to Shuai Guo, "Shuai Guo, tell everyone outside that today''s pill refining has come to an end. Those that require pills will have to wait until further notice." "Pill Master Mo is really decisive." Chi Kun guffawed at the side. Mo Wuji guessed that these people were here as they had something to ask of him, otherwise, why would they have assisted him. However, now that he had received their assistance, he couldn''t outright reject their request anymore. Hence he spoke again, "Sect head, please make yourselves at home for a moment. I''d like to have a few words with Mian He." Chi Kun laughed, "Pill Master Mo please carry on. The god spiritual energy here is so dense that I wouldn''t mind sitting here until tomorrow." ¡­ ''Elder Sister Mian He, Elder Sister Mei should be the Mountain Lord of Firmament Pond Mountain right? Why do I sense that there are many people who dislike her, and how could the men of a Mountain Lord be randomly killed by that Jing Wei while she herself was also beaten up? What''s going on?" After bringing Mian He into a room, Mo Wuji asked directly. Mo Wuji wasn''t a gossipy person. Since he wanted to help Mei Qianqian, he had to understand these issues. Up till this point, Mian He still couldn''t believe that Mo Wuji asked Elder Shi to bring her lady over together with Jing Wei that easily. From his tone, he wasn''t summoning Jing Wei here to help him, but to deal with him. Only when Mo Wuji started probing did her mind clear up, and she said frantically, "Thank you Wuji, if it weren''t for you, my lady¡­" To that, Mo Wuji simply waved it off, "Elder SIster Mei helped me find a job, so it''s only natural for me to help her. But before that, you need to tell me more about her." With a sigh, Mian He explained, "You''ve been to the Mei Clan Manor. Back then in the manor, my lady was its jewel, but one day there was a sudden massacre inside. Some people thought that some top grade treasure had appeared in the manor and charged inside to fight for it. Almost everyone in the manor was killed, and the ground beneath was dug at least till 3 inches deep, but nothing special was found in the end. After that, the spirit channels and spiritual roots of almost everyone that entered the manor began to degrade, and eventually, their primordial spirit would also dissipate. Henceforth, the Mei Clan Manor became forbidden ground. No one dared to set foot inside. Soon after, other people found out that only Mei Qianqian and Mei Feng''Er who survived could enter the Mei Clan Manor unharmed¡­" Mo Wuji waved his hand, "These can wait till later. Get to the point. Why is Elder Sister Mei''s position in the Minor High Firmament Sect so low? Scrap that, this can wait as well. Elder Sister Mei and the others are here, so let''s go out first." "My lady¡­" Mian He cried as she rushed towards Mei Qianqian once she came into sight, tightly embracing Mei Qianqian. Mei Qianqian had a head of messy hair, and traces of blood covered her face. Her eyes reflected a lost individual. From her aura, Mo Wuji could sense that she had just taken a great deal of damage. Moreover, her clothes were also ripped apart, so it seemed like she was disgraced as well. Other than Mei Qianqian, Mo Wuji also saw Elder Shi and Elder Zheng at the same time. On top of that, there was also another elder whose cultivation level should have been at Worldly God Stage that Mo Wuji did not recognise. Before these three elders, a red clothed man calmly bowed towards Xi Lingru, "Greetings sect head, I don''t know why sect head summoned me here...Eh, I know¡­" The gaze of the red clothed man turned and fell on Mo Wuji. Here, only Mo Wuji''s spirituality wasn''t obvious, and only this kind of person would plant Green Dew Rice. "You''re Mo Wuji, right? You really managed to grow high grade Green Dew Rice?" The red clothed youth didn''t even care about the fact that the sect head summoned him and Mei Qianqian. After all, this wasn''t the first time. "You''re Jing Wei?" Mo Wuji didn''t answer the red clothed youth''s questions, instead judging the youth as he felt that the other party was acting dumb. "How dare you, are you supposed to address the young sect head by name? The elder that Mo Wuji didn''t recognise loudly chided. Young sect head? Mo Wuji stared at Xi Lingru in shock. If Jing Wei was Xi Lingru''s son, then it would be very difficult to take care of this guy. This wasn''t right, if things were like that, then Jing Wei should be named Xi Wei. How could Xi Lingru not understand what that look in Mo Wuji''s eyes meant? He smiled bitterly while sending a message to Mo Wuji, "Young Sect Head Jing Wei is the only son of the previous Sect Head Jing Tian. Minor High Firmament Sect is its current state basically thanks to Jing Tian." There wasn''t the need to explain further as Mo Wuji already understood. Without question, Jing Wei had a large group of supporters in the sect, and even Xi Lingru couldn''t help but fear him. Of course, it could also have been that Xi Lingru let Jing Wei do as he pleased out of respect for Jing Tian. The next moment, Jing Wei seemed to become very serious, as though as he had understood why he was here, and he waved at the elder, "Elder Hao, Mo Wuji is a rice farmer, so there''s no need to pursue anything with him. You should be the one that asked the sect head to summon me here right? Before we reach the topic of Green Dew RIce, let me first tell you what kind of person this Mei Qianqian is. She married Mountain Lord You Zhuo of my Minor High Firmament Sect''s Firmament Pond Mountain and used her unique body quality to incite trouble everywhere. You can ask around, a good number of the sect''s elders were seduced by her. That''s right, Mountain Lord You Zhuo was secretly killed by her and her lover because he caught them together one time when she brought her lover to the Firmament Pond Mountain to fool around. In the end, after she murdered Mountain Lord You Zhuo, she had the gall to stay on Firmament Pond Mountain. As she was the only who could enter the Mei Clan Manor, the Minor High Firmament Sect tolerated her till now." Upon hearing what Jing Wei had to say, even Chi Kun and Yu Chuo at the side stared at Mei Qianqian with shocked expressions. If this was really the truth, then it wouldn''t be enough to just kill this woman a hundred times. Chapter 962: Help Me Kill This Person Chapter 962: Help Me Kill This Person Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When embraced by Mian He, Mei Qianqian''s dead eyes seemed to gain a trace of life. However, she didn''t react to anything that Jing Wei said, simply staring back with a mocking look in her eyes. In his heart, Mo Wuji laughed coldly. This Jing Wei actually treated him as a dumbass. From Earth to the Cultivation World, Immortal World, and finally the God Domain, how many schemes and hardships had he endured? Even if Mei Qianqian did not rebut, he knew that there was something wrong here. The problem wasn''t that Mei Qianqian had slept with many men, but with the accusation that her lover killed her husband. He could see that Xi Lingru, while being a scheming person, still had a baseline. If Mei Qianqian could kill her husband, even being assisted by her lover, then how would Xi Lingru have let her remain in the Minor High Firmament Sect as Mountain Lord of Firmament Pond Mountain? Regardless how important the Mei Clan Manor was, he could still lock Mei Qianqian up to reach the same outcome. But in reality, when Mo Wuji was Mei Qianqian, she was a free woman. "Elder Sister Mei, do you have anything to say?" Mo Wuji ignored Jing Wei and asked Mei Qianqian directly. Mei Qianqian just laughed, "Thank you for not allowing me to die while disgraced in this person''s hands. My conscience is clear. I never thought that you would achieve this much, and it seems like I¡­" She could not continue speaking as she was sure that Mo Wuji was not a rogue cultivator that went to the Mei Clan Manor in search of low tier god spiritual herbs. With his level of skill, how could he have been one? It was just that she never felt the need to ask about his background. As for what Jing Wei said, she didn''t bother to rebut them. Mo Wuji was obviously a cultivator who could enter the Mei Clan Manor and exit unscathed, so how could he be ordinary? If this kind of person could not see through Jing Wei''s words, then it would be pointless for her to argue. Nodding his head, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully at Xi Lingru, "Sect Head Xi, I would like to ask why you allowed Elder Sister Mei to stay at Firmament Pond Mountain and also protect her?" What Mo Wuji was saying and doing was definitely not the actions of an ignorant rogue cultivator, thus Xi Lingru knew that there was no need for him to lie, "Wuji, it was all the request of the previous Mountain Lord of Firmament Pond Mountain, You Zhuo. He asked me to take care of Mei Qianqian before he died." "Brother Zhuo, I have let you down¡­" Tears streamed down Mei Qianqian''s eyes after she heard Xi Lingru''s explanation. "So was Mountain Lord Zhuo killed by Mei Qianqian and someone else?" Mo Wuji asked again. Xi Lingru grinned bitterly, "No" Yet, Jing Wei continued acting as though as he didn''t know that his lie was exposed and smiled while looking at Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, our sect head has his own standards, hence it''s only natural for him to not speak of those shameless acts." Mian He suddenly pointed at Jing Wei and shouted, "Jing Wei, you beast. Back then you harmed Mountain Lord You with your accomplices and even imprisoned my lady''s younger brother, Mei Feng''Er. You used that to blackmail my lady to sleep with all of the elders in the sect and bring them to your side. In order to save her husband and younger brother, my lady endured the shame and did what you asked. But in the end, you didn''t let the Mountain Lord or my lady''s younger brother go, you, you¡­" Although Mian He didn''t mention anything about what happened in between the incidents, Mo Wuji had a rough idea and his face turned black. He didn''t agree with how Mei Qianqian dealt with the situation, but if anyone was in her shoes, the only option available would be to follow Jing Wei''s instructions. No wonder the Minor High Firmament Sect looked down on Mei Qianqian that much. Not only was she involved with many elders and high level members of the sect, she also met Jing Wei''s requests. "Beast." Yu Chuo shot a despising look at Jing Wei. "Mo Wuji, since you''re not willing to discuss the growing of Green Dew Rice with me, I''ll make a move first. On the account of your contributions in Green Dew Rice to the sect, I won''t touch Mei Qianqian." Jing Wei turned and left after speaking. Mo Wuji laughed coldly. He knew Jing Wei could see that he had obtained the support of Chi Kun and Yu Chuo. Since Mo Wuji didn''t say anything, Xi Lingru couldn''t speak as well. He respected Jing Tian, which is why he let Jing Wei run loose, but this didn''t mean that Jing Wei could disregard the future of the Minor High Firmament Sect. Mo Wuji was the future of the sect, hence he couldn''t ignore Mo Wuji. "Stay here for a while longer, wait till Wuji has settled this incident first." Xi Lingru stopped Jing Wei. Hearing the sect head asking him to stop, Jing Wei''s expression turned ugly. "Sect head, this isn''t that good right? No matter what the young sect head did wrong, it isn''t up to an outsider to point fingers at him." The elder that scolded Mo Wuji previously frowned as he spoke up. Although he was just an advanced Worldly God, he was extremely senior in the sect. Even Sect Head Xi Lingru wasn''t as senior as him. Of course, from another perspective, one could say that this person wasted most of his life. "Dao Friend Chi, Dao Friend Yu, I wonder what the both of you have come to visit me for?" Mo Wuji surprisingly put Jing Wei''s issue to one side, instead he asked Chi Kun for the reason behind their visit. But no one thought that Mo Wuji did anything wrongly. Only someone who thought things through would ask this question. What was Mo Wuji banking on now? It was his research in Green Dew Rice. The reason Chi Kun and Yu Chuo were here was that Mo Wuji was an expert in growing Green Dew Rice, and they supported Mo Wuji naturally for Green Dew Rice. Mo Wuji asked this question to find out what Chi Kun and Yu Chuo wanted him to do, and settle this issue based on the weight of their task. Thus, this question was an essential one to ask. "The High Firmament God Sect requires an expert that''s well versed in growing Green Dew Rice to help. If Pill Master Mo can grow high grade Green Dew Rice, the records of Pill Dao of the High Firmament God Sect will be available for you to read in the future. At the same time, the High Firmament God Sect will also provide all sorts of god spiritual herbs and invite Pill Master Mo to be an elder of the High Firmament God Sect." When Chi Kun heard Mo Wuji''s question, he immediately replied while bowing respectfully. His tone was very sincere, and not a single trace of the pride of coming from a large sect of the High God Lands was present at all. Mo Wuji returned the bow, "Thank you for looking upon me favourably Dao Friend Chi, but I have no intention of joining a sect at the moment, and there are some things I still have to deal with here¡­" Without waiting for Mo Wuji to complete his sentence, Chi Kun frantically added on, "After going to the High Firmament God Sect, it is possible for Pill Master Mo to grow Green Dew Rice in an area alone. I will request for peak grade god spiritual veins from the sect for you¡­" "Don''t worry, there''ll definitely be a peak grade god spiritual vein for you to grow Green Dew Rice." Yu Chuo, who was standing at one side, quickly added on. She had more power than Chi Kun and just declared this at once. This offer moved Mo Wuji as one of the reasons he wanted to stay here for was the peak grade god spiritual vein. Also, he began to have some rough insight into his own dao, and to him, as long as he stayed here for a while longer, it could be possible for him to complete the laws of his world and find the real meaning behind it. Instinctively, Mo Wuji looked in Xi Lingru''s direction. Xi Lingru had helped him a whole lot, and if he just left like that¡­ The originally quiet Yu Chuo seemed to be aware of Mo Wuji''s considerations and clarified, "Dao Friend mo, after you leave with us, the High Firmament God Sect will move the Minor High Firmament Sect to the High God Lands. After all, Sect Head Xi made a great contribution this time." "Thank you, Dao Friend Yu." This was the sentence Xi Lingru was waiting for. When he heard Yu Chuo''s promise, his heart was filled with joy. What was the point of cultivation? Wasn''t it to improve? It wasn''t very possible to improve in the Low God Lands, but once in the High God Lands, not only him, but the entire Minor High Firmament Sect would be able to improve. As for the Minor High Firmament Sect in the Low God Lands, there would still be a base left here. "Ok, I agree." Mo Wuji said decisively, "However, I would like to ask Dao Friend Jing to help to kill this Jing Wei. That''s right, and that detestable person beside Jing Wei." Chi Kun was waiting for Mo Wuji to say these words since a long time, and once Mo Wuji said it, he stood up and threw a god elemental energy had towards Jing Wei. "How dare you...Save me, Elder Hao¡­" Jing Wei was stunned this time. All this while he had maintained the fake image of a mad second generation elder. If he knew that he would be killed by coming here, he would definitely not have come over. Seeing that thing were about to blow up, Elder Hao, who came with Jing Wei, was about to leap forward to save Jing Wei. His cultivation level was higher than Chi Kun''s, hence saving Jing Wei wouldn''t be that difficult. However, as his body moved, he felt as though as the entire space around him was frozen, and the next moment, he heard Jing Wei''s screams echo out. Finally, Jing Wei died while taking advantage of his status as the second generation of the founder. There was a saying that one who did not ask for death would not die, and perhaps this was most relevant for Jing Wei now. "Xi Lingru, how dare you¡­" How could Elder Hao not know that it was the God King, Xi Lingru, that froze the space around him. But he could not utter his next sentence, as Chi Kun''s hand continued to travel in the direction of his forehead. As he was locked in place by Xi Lingru, Elder Hao couldn''t fight back and was killed there and then. Mo Wuji had nothing to say. From start to the end, everything was within his predictions. He knew that Elder Hao''s strength should have been greater than Chi Kun, and he was sure that once Chi Kun attacked, Xi Lingru would make a move as well. Nothing deviated from his guesses at all. "Elder Sister Mei, what are your plans now?" Mo Wuji only asked this after seeing that Jing Wei and Elder Hao were killed. In a rather stunned state, Mei Qianqian saw Jing Wei and Elder Hao disappear before her very eyes. SHe never thought that Mo Wuji had the ability to get the sect head to kill these two men. A good while later, she finally regained her senses and bowed respectfully towards Mo Wuji and Xi Lingru before saying, "I have avenged my husband and younger brother, so I''m going to prepare to leave the Minor High Firmament Sect." Some thanks would be meaningless even if said, hence she didn''t especially thank Mo Wuji. With a sigh, Xi Lingru replied, "It was I that failed to help Brother You Zhuo all these years. Take care of yourself in the future." Mo Wuji also added on, "I will be leaving for the High God Lands with Dao Friend Chi. Elder Sister Mei, take care." After speaking, Mo Wuji turned to fae Xi Lingru, "Sect Head Xi, thank you for looking at me favourably and supporting me. The Mei Clan Manor is Elder Sister Mei''s ancestral land, so I would like to ask sect head to send some men to use a defensive array to protect that area. I still have a few tens of catties of Green Dew Rice here. I''ll give them to you." The bag that Mo Wuji took out and passed to Xi Lingru contained 20 catties of high grade Green Dew RIce, and in the middle of the 20 catties of rice, there was a small sack which held two catties of peak grade Green Dew Rice within. When Mei Qianqian heard that Mo Wuji wanted to help to preserve the Mei Clan Manor, her heart was filled with even more gratitude. However, Mo Wuji was protecting the manor not because of Mei Qianqian, but for himself. There was a very important transfer array below the Mei Clan Manor, and news of it could never be revealed. Chapter 963: Land Of Mortals Chapter 963: Land Of Mortals Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After sending Mi Qianqian off, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to follow Chi Kun and Yu Chuo to leave Low God Land and head towards High God Land where High Firmament God Sect was situated. Ever since he came to God Continent¡¯s Low God Land, he basically never left Minor High Firmament Sect. Thus, he didn¡¯t have many ties here. Only Shuai Guo followed beside him while Da Huang stayed in his Undying World. According to Chi Kun, there was a transfer array between Low God Land and High God Land. It was just that this array couldn¡¯t be used under normal circumstances. It would only be opened under critical situations. Thus, they could only fly, take a transfer array, fly again and take another transfer array, and so on. Fortunately, the flying treasure Yu Chuo brought out was very strong. As a Smith Master that could forge low-grade god equipment, he was sure that Yu Chuo¡¯s flying ship was a high-grade god equipment. During Mo Wuji¡¯s time in God Domain and God Continent, he had never seen many high-grade god equipment. Of course, this was probably because the level of the people that he interacted with was very low. With his low cultivation, he naturally wouldn¡¯t interact with many experts. Chi Kun was very talkative, but Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t really interested in talking and only wanted to go into the ship¡¯s compartment to cultivate. However, because Chi Kun was especially good at speaking, Mo Wuji was actually listening to him with great pleasure. "Pill Master Mo, actually High Firmament God Sect couldn¡¯t be considered the biggest sect in High God Land but it is definitely one of the top. If you are willing to be an elder in High Firmament God Sect, it¡¯s actually not bad." Chi Kun still hadn¡¯t given up on the idea of inviting Mo Wuji into his High Firmament God Sect. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart pounded and he casually asked, "Dao Friend Chi, is the strongest cultivation in High Firmament God Sect above the God King Stage?" Chi Kun chortled loudly, "Pill Master Mo, you must not solely be interested concocting pills and growing Green Dew Rice. You also need to understand the path of cultivation." Mo Wuji was slightly embarrassed. He understood Chi Kun¡¯s meaning. Only a person who didn¡¯t know much or didn¡¯t care much about cultivation would ask about the cultivation stage of the strongest person in a sect. Chi Kun wasn¡¯t intentionally humiliating Mo Wuji. After a light chuckle, he turned serious and said, "Pill Master Mo, in God Continent, there¡¯s only one place where people can surpass the God King Stage." "There are actually people that can surpass the God King Stage?" Mo Wuji exclaimed in astonishment. He was truly shocked. Chi Kun nodded, "That should be true. However, once you reach the God King Stage, you would be more aware of how difficult and vast the path to Dao is. It would be increasingly difficult to reach higher levels. Thus, in the entire God Continent, there are few experts that can surpass the God King Stage. Even if there are such people, they are all of myths and legends." "What place is that?" Mo Wuji asked eagerly. He had just come from God Domain and he was very clear that there weren¡¯t any existences that surpassed the God King Stage there. In fact, there weren¡¯t many God Kings in God Domain. Chi Kun brought out a wine flask and poured Mo Wuji a cup of wine. Then he continued, "Pill Master Mo, even if you hadn¡¯t mentioned it, I would have told you about that place. The place is called Nirvana Learning Academy..." "Nirvana Learning Academy?" Mo Wuji repeated. He could not help but be shocked. In a peak-grade realm like the God Continent, there¡¯s such a thing as a learning academy? At the same time, this also reminded him of the Heaven Seeking Learning Academy back in the cultivation world. Chi Kun nodded, "That¡¯s right, the Nirvana Learning Academy. The reason why I can tell you this is because, in the entire God Continent, there¡¯s only one sect - Nirvana Learning Academy." "What does that mean?" Mo Wuji was increasingly confused. Chi Kun explained, "The Nirvana Learning Academy is actually a gathering of the greatest experts in God Continent. More than 90% of all sects in God Continent originate from Nirvana Learning Academy. Let¡¯s make this simpler, do you know why Minor High Firmament Sect says that they''re a subsidiary sect of my High Firmament God Sect?" Mo Wuji nodded, "I know about that. I heard that the progenitor of the Minor High Firmament Sect was from High Firmament God Sect." Chi Kun nodded, "That¡¯s right. It¡¯s the same here. In Nirvana Learning Academy, many experts will build up their own powers. When they find that they could no longer advance any further, they would leave Nirvana Learning Academy and establish their own sects. For example, the progenitor of my High Firmament God Sect came from Nirvana Learning Academy. Till this day, there¡¯s still the High Firmament Mountain in Nirvana Learning Academy. Cultivators that were in High Firmament Mountain during their time in Nirvana Learning Academy would usually choose to enter our High Firmament Sect after they left the academy." Mo Wuji understood the situation, "Dao Friend Chi, I understand what you¡¯re saying. In other words, Nirvana Learning Academy is a microcosm of the entire God Continent and its power is only slightly weaker when compared to the entire God Continent." Chi Kun replied, "Your first part is right, Nirvana Learning Academy is indeed a microcosm of the entire God Continent. However, your second part is wrong. Even if all the sects in the God Continent join together, they still wouldn¡¯t even be able to compare to a finger of Nirvana Learning Academy. In the entire God Continent, almost all the peak experts are hidden within Nirvana Learning Academy. To surpass the God King Stage, you can only do it in Nirvana Learning Academy." "Then how is this sect managed?" Mo Wuji is confused again. How strong must the fella that oversees the entire Nirvana Learning Academy be? Chi Kun shook his head, "Nirvana Learning Academy shouldn¡¯t be a sect. It should be considered a cradle for experts. As for management, I only know that no one dares to behave atrociously or violate the rules in Nirvana Learning Academy. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be able to survive more than two hours. Actually, since you said that you like to grow Green Dew Rice, I want to introduce to you to a faction within Nirvana Learning Academy. This faction is called the Land of Mortals¡­" "Land of Mortals?" Mo Wuji uttered in shock. Chi Kun nodded, "That¡¯s right, the Land of Mortals. It¡¯s said that the progenitor of the Land of Mortals within Nirvana Learning Academy is an expert called the Agriculture Emperor. He¡¯s a cultivator that had extremely poor quality spiritual roots. However, this person was almost able to rewrite history within Nirvana Learning Academy¡­" "What do you mean?" Mo Wuji was rather eager. He cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique and now that he came to know about this Land of Mortals, he was naturally eager to know more. Chi Kun explained, "Because this Agriculture Emperor was able to use his inferior talent to cultivate to the God King Stage. He even created his own cultivation technique for cultivators with poor spiritual roots. It¡¯s called the Immortal Mortal Technique." Immortal Mortal Technique! Mo Wuji¡¯s heart was filled with excitement. He also cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. Even though his current technique was no longer related to the original Immortal Mortal Technique, it couldn¡¯t change the fact that he had relied on the Immortal Mortal Technique to create the path of cultivation for mortals. The Immortal Mortal Technique that he received from Tian Ji Sect was still in his Undying World. He didn¡¯t think that the expert that created the Immortal Mortal Technique was actually from the God World and he even came from Nirvana Learning Academy. At this instant, Mo Wuji suddenly wanted to go to Nirvana Learning Academy and visit that Land of Mortals. He wanted to see whether that Agriculture Emperor had left behind anything else. Chi Kun continued, "Actually, according to stories, the Agriculture Emperor didn¡¯t use to be called that, but was called Farmer [1]. He was born in a mortal world. His parents wanted him to farm their fields well, so they gave him the simple name of Farmer. It¡¯s said that Agriculture Emperor was the one that discovered the Green Dew Rice. He was able to plant peak grade Green Dew Rice, then he used the Green Dew Rice to cleanse his spiritual roots and channels. Even though his spiritual roots and channels were inferior beyond comparison, he was able to use his hard work to enter the God World. Not only that, he even entered the Nirvana Learning Academy and established the Land of Mortals." As he got here, Chi Kun sighed and shook his head, "Unfortunately, after something happened to Agriculture Emperor, the Land of Mortals started to enter a decline. It¡¯s said that there are no longer any disciples in the Land of Mortals. Even if there were, they are people that have relatively good spiritual roots; they have no links to being a mortal. The Land of Mortals is also the only faction in Nirvana Learning Academy that didn¡¯t create a sect in High God Land." "Dao Friend Chi, I want to ask, how can one enter the Nirvana Learning Academy?" "The hardest place to enter in the whole God Continent is the Nirvana Learning Academy. However, you have a chance because the Nirvana Learning Academy is all-inclusive. Among which, experts in growing Green Dew Rice can also enter the Nirvana Learning Academy." "Besides growing Green Dew Rice?" Mo Wuji continued asking. According to his intentions, he didn¡¯t want it to be revealed that he could grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice. If he used such a method to enter Nirvana Learning Academy, then people would definitely get wind of that. If he didn¡¯t know about the Agriculture Emperor, he might not have cared about this. Now that he knew that the Agriculture Emperor advancement to the God King Stage was related to Green Dew Rice, how could he simply reveal the fact that he could grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice? He even suspected that if not for the fact that one needed to be totally immersed and without pressure to grow good Green Dew Rice, Chi Kun might have forcefully abducted him. Chi Kun shook his head, "It¡¯s very hard. The only other method is to join a sect and become an exceptional figure within the sect. Then, you would have to participate in the Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s disciple selection." Mo Wuji asked, "Dao Friend Chi, after I reach High Firmament God Sect, what do I have to do?" Chi Kun said, "Actually my invitation to Pill Master Mo is related to the Nirvana Learning Academy. Within the Nirvana Learning Academy, there¡¯s a peak-grade enlightenment holyland. It¡¯s called God King Nirvanic River. Unfortunately, the placings to enter this God King Nirvanic River is limited. Nirvana Learning Academy would hold assessments and growing Green Dew Rice is one of the key assessments." Mo Wuji came to an understanding, "Dao Friend Chi, you mean for me to represent High Firmament God Sect to take part in this planting assessment and obtain placings to the God King Nirvanic River?" Chi Kun did not hide anything as he nodded, "Yes, my High Firmament God Sect¡¯s only weakness is that we don¡¯t have experts in growing Green Dew Rice. Moreover, God Kings aren¡¯t the only ones that can receive enlightenment in the God King Nirvanic River. If World Gods enter, they have a high chance of entering the God King Stage. Pill Master Mo, if you are able to help, it would not be impossible for you to enter Nirvana Learning Academy. Even though your talent is relatively bad, you might be able to find some way to advance in Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s Land of Mortals. And taking a step back, even if you can¡¯t find a way to advance, the Land of Mortals is also the calmest and safest place to grow Green Dew Rice." [1] They both have the same pronunciation - Zhong Di. Zhong means to farm or plant. The first Di is Emperor, while the second Di is Land. Chapter 964: Regret Chapter 964: Regret Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Dao Friend Chi, I accept this task. When can I go for the assessment?" Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say. From a certain perspective, Agriculture Emperor could be considered his master. Without the Immortal Mortal Technique, he would still be able to come up with the meridian cultivation method. However, Mo Wuji was very clear that without the Immortal Mortal Technique, he would already be old and aged by the time he discovered the meridian cultivation method. Thus, even though the Agriculture Emperor wasn¡¯t his master in person, he was his master in meaning. Now that he had come to God Continent and found the progenitor of the Immortal Mortal Technique, he naturally had to go and take a look. And if he wanted to see the Agriculture Emperor¡¯s Land of Mortals, he would have to enter the Nirvana Learning Academy. According to Chi Kun¡¯s words, it was extremely difficult to enter the Nirvana Learning Academy. Planting Green Dew Rice was Mo Wuji¡¯s easiest option. Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s response, Chi Kun said elatedly, "Pill Master Mo, even though it has yet to be confirmed, following Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s practises, the next assessment should be coming soon. Perhaps, by the time we reach High God Land, Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s assessment might have already started. Even if it hasn¡¯t started, since Pill Master Mo likes planting Green Dew Rice, we can get you a good piece of land in my High Firmament God Sect¡­" Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Dao Friend Chi, how about this. I will get a pill shop in the city outside your sect. When the assessment comes, I will represent High Firmament Sect." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to join High Firmament Sect, nor did he want to continue planting rice. Actually, he wouldn¡¯t mind if he had a calm plot of land with a peak-grade god spiritual vein to continue planting Green Dew Rice. After all, planting Green Dew Rice was helpful to his cultivation technique and his state of mind. But who knew when Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s assessment would begin? If it began while his Green Dew Rice had yet to mature, then would he have to harvest them prematurely? Whether he did that or not, it wouldn¡¯t be helpful to him. Thus, he decided that it was better not to plant Green Dew Rice at all. Moreover, Mo Wuji¡¯s understanding towards his Immortal Mortal Technique was now more profound. He cultivated the Mortal Dao; as long as he remained ordinary in a sea of common people, his heart state would not be affected. This principle was the same regardless whether he was planting Green Dew Rice or opening his own shop. This was one reason. The second reason was that Mo Wuji was extremely clear that he needed much cultivation resources. Previously, he didn¡¯t manage to see much improvement in his cultivation wasn¡¯t simply because there was a problem with his mortal heart state. It was also because he lacked dense amounts of god spiritual energy. Back in Minor High Firmament Village, he first used installed a spirit gathering array above a high-grade god spiritual vein. Thereafter, he cultivated on a peak-grade god spiritual vein. After cultivating on a peak-grade god spirit, he became especially clear about the importance that cultivation resources were to him. By opening a pill shop, not only would it help him elevate his standards in the Pill Dao, it would also help him gather large amounts of cultivation resources. In those short months in Minor High Firmament Village, he was able to gather many high-grade god crystals as well as various kinds of smithing materials and god herbs. "Then we¡¯ll head to High Firmament City. It¡¯s right outside High Firmament God Sect." Chi Kun viewed Mo Wuji highly. He would try his best to fulfil Mo Wuji¡¯s various requirements. "Many thanks, Dao Friend Chi. It¡¯s just that I still wish to represent High Firmament God Sect for the assessment. Thus, when I open a pill shop in High Firmament City, I hope that I will be able to change my appearance." Mo Wuji stood up and clasped his fists. In High Firmament City, Mo Wuji intended to furiously gather cultivation resources. His Pill Dao was going to reach the level of Tier 5 God Pill King. If he didn¡¯t furiously gather cultivation resources, he would be completely unable to get his hands on Tier 5 god herbs to practice on. Because God Domain and God Continent had been separated by the Nirvana Ocean, it was hard for even God Kings to appear. Tier 5 god herbs would naturally appear in greater scarcity. This was related to the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. As for Tier 6 god herbs, each strand of one would be a supreme treasure. If he earned too much cultivation resources, he might offend someone or earn the envy of others. Thus, Mo Wuji¡¯s intention was to earn a huge sum while under the protection of High Firmament God Sect and leave. Whether there would be further opportunities to earn more cultivation resources in Nirvana Learning Academy was a separate matter. "Haha, then I will be relying on Pill Master Mo." Chi Kun chuckled. He guessed that Mo Wuji was worried because of his status as a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner. In reality, there was no need for Mo Wuji to have such apprehensions. In High Firmament City, there were other Tier 4 God Pill Refiners. However, he wouldn¡¯t say such words. By agreeing to Mo Wuji¡¯s request, it would be equivalent to providing Mo Wuji with a favour. "Dao Friend Chi, these are some leftover Green Dew Rice. I will give them to Dao Friend Chi," Mo Wuji only just brought out ten catties of Green Dew Rice. Chi Kun anxiously opened the bag that Mo Wuji gave him. Even though this was his first time seeing the Green Dew Rice which were filled with gold-coloured runes, he was still extremely excited, "These are indeed top-grade Green Dew Rice. Good stuff, truly good stuff. Pill Master Mo, as long as you are able to grow such Green Dew Rice during the competition, you definitely wouldn¡¯t lose in that segment." "Rest assured, Dao Friend Chi. I have that bit of confidence." With that, Mo Wuji took out another bag, faced the inner compartment of the ship and said, "There are another ten catties of Green Dew Rice here. I will give them to Dao Friend Yu." A sharp and clear voice sounded, "Many thanks, Pill Master Mo." Following which, Yu Chuo¡¯s slender figure appeared on the main deck. She accepted Mo Wuji¡¯s cloth bag. Chi Kun looked at Yu Chuo in astonishment; he knew that Yu Chuo didn¡¯t accept gifts from anybody. Even if it was some amazing item, she wouldn¡¯t keep it. He didn¡¯t understand why Yu Chuo would accept this ten catties of Green Dew Rice from Mo Wuji. It was true that high-grade Green Dew Rice was extremely valuable. But with Yu Chuo¡¯s status, she could naturally obtain it on her own. Moreover, Yu Chuo had already eaten plenty of high-grade Green Dew Rice throughout her life. What was this meagre ten catties compared to all that? Mo Wuji naturally didn¡¯t know about all that. When he saw Yu Chuo and Chi Kun accept his gift, his mood was not bad. As the saying goes: Gifts bind the wise. These two should be of some status within High Firmament God Sect. Since they accepted his gifts, they would definitely help him during his time in High Firmament City. ¡­ Low God Land, Minor High Firmament Sect. No one really cared much about Mo Wuji¡¯s departure. Instead, everyone was paying attention to Sect Head Xi Lingru¡¯s swift and decisive actions. Right after Mo Wuji left, Xi Lingru killed 32 people in a row. Among which, were four World Gods, seven God Monarchs and 21 Heavenly Gods. All of them had been revealed to have committed many offences; none of them was killed unjustly. However, those that were of higher statuses knew that all those that were killed were all related to Jing Wei. At this instant, all elders and mountain lords of Minor High Firmament Sect were all in shock. As it turns out, the sect head wasn¡¯t completely ignorant of Jing Wei¡¯s actions. It was just that he had never done anything about it. Now that Jing Wei had been killed, the sect head decided to strike like thunder and leave no gaps behind. Under normal circumstances, killing so many experts within one¡¯s own sect would definitely lead to chaos. However, this wasn¡¯t the case for Minor High Firmament Sect. In fact, it became more united and stabilised. After doing all this, Xi Lingru wasn¡¯t particularly elated. At this moment, he had returned back to his living quarters and was sitting silently without muttering a word. Those actions of Jing Wei¡¯s were, in his eyes, similar to that of a clown. The reason why he didn¡¯t do anything was due to his respect towards Jing Wei as well as the fact that he wanted to deal with all dissenters in one fell swoop. What depressed him the most was Mo Wuji¡¯s departure. If he knew that Mo Wuji was a Quasi-God Pill King, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have allowed Mo Wuji to leave. Ever since the beginning, Xi Lingru had a great dream. His dream was for Minor High Firmament Sect to be subsidiary to High Firmament God Sect; he hoped for his sect to be completely separated from High Firmament Sect and be treated as a true sect of God Continent. But now, he was the only God King in Minor High Firmament Sect. Their power was still too low. Even if they went to High God Land, they would need to depend on High Firmament God Sect. If one knew of Xi Lingru¡¯s thoughts, then it wouldn¡¯t be hard to understand why Xi Lingru felt so regretful towards Mo Wuji¡¯s departure. He was clearer than anyone about the benefits that a Quasi God Pill King had to a sect. Moreover, with Mo Wuji¡¯s poor cultivation talent, he would be had to control. This sort of person was simply too rare to find. But now, one had slipped from right under his nose. This was also why he had been so swift in killing all the vermins of the sect. This was because the person in charge of such matters was a World God that was close to Jing Wei. The news of Mo Wuji¡¯s departure had reached this World God¡¯s hand a long time ago. According to the procedure, this elder should have immediately reported that matter to him. Not only did this elder not report the matter to him, he reported the matter to Jing Wei. Because of that and even though Mo Wuji didn¡¯t care much about Jing Wei, Jing Wei suppressed his anger towards Mo Wuji and tried to form closer ties with Mo Wuji. Jing Wei also knew the benefits that a Quasi God Pill King would have. Xi Lingru shook his head. There were pros and cons to everyone. When he spared those vermins, he should have thought about how those vermins might end up affecting the sect. After sitting in contemplation for a long time, Xi Lingru sighed deeply. He took out that bag of Green Dew Rice that Mo Wuji gave him. This was one thing that he appreciated about Mo Wuji. Before Mo Wuji left, he did not forget to leave behind some gifts. This bag of Green Dew Rice weighed a total of 20 catties. After opening it, the gold-runed Green Dew Rice appeared in front of him. The fragrance of the rice soothed his heart. Casually grabbing a handful of the Green Dew Rice, Xi Lingru¡¯s mood improved significantly. Suddenly, a black bag was revealed within the rice. Xi Lingru grabbed the bag and opened it. This bag was also filled with Green Dew Rice. However, the rice wasn¡¯t lined with gold runes but was entirely gold. The fragrance was even more penetrating and comforting. Xi Lingru¡¯s mouth went ajar as he was completely in shock. Even though he was a God King, he had never seen such pure Green Dew Rice. At the same time, as a God King, he was especially clear about what was in his hand. This definitely wasn¡¯t high-grade Green Dew Rice, but peak-grade ones. This bag alone weighed two catties! Xi Lingru stood up. He felt his skull turning numb. If he knew that Mo Wuji could truly grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice, even if he had to offend the ambassadors from High Firmament God Sect, he wouldn¡¯t have let Mo Wuji go. Chapter 965: Cure-All Clinic Chapter 965: Cure-All Clinic Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The journey was smooth sailing. After four months, Chi Kun, Yu Chuo and a disguised, yellow-faced Mo Wuji entered High Firmament City. High Firmament City got its name from the eponymous High Firmament Sect. When compared to the sects in Low God Land, High Firmament Sect was viewed as a colossal existence. However, in God Continent¡¯s High God Land, High Firmament God Sect could only be considered an above average sect; it was far from being at the top. Even though it wasn¡¯t the greatest sect, the presence of High Firmament Sect allowed High Firmament City to be a peak-grade god city. There was no need to talk about the million disciples of High Firmament God Sect. Simply the number of odd job workers, the merchant houses as well as the rogue cultivators in search for opportunities in High Firmament Mountain Range was enough to put the population on High Firmament City in the tens of millions. The path to the city entrance was built with grandeur. The roads were spacious and orderly. "What a lively city." Mo Wuji could not help but sigh in praise as he entered High Firmament City. Chi Kun chuckled. Just as he was about to speak, the communication bead on his wrist started to flash. As Chi Kun sent his spiritual will into the communication bead, his face turned serious. "What¡¯s the matter?" When Yu Chuo noticed Chi Kun¡¯s expression, she asked questioningly. Against expectations, Chi Kun didn¡¯t answer Yu Chuo¡¯s question. Instead, he turned to Mo Wuji and said, "Pill Master Mo, you can stay in High Firmament City first. Junior Sister Yu and I have an urgent matter to attend to back in the sect. After we are done with that matter, I will immediately return to help you find a pill shop." Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Dao Friend Chi, Dao Friend Yu, please hurry back to your sect. Regarding the pill shop, I will find one by myself. After the two of you are done with your matters, you can come and visit my pill shop. I¡¯m sure that the two of you will definitely be able to find it." "Alright, then we will see you soon. If anything happens, use this jade token." Chi Kun brought out a jade token and stuffed it into Mo Wuji¡¯s hands. Thereafter, he anxiously left with Yu Chuo. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t know what was the matter that had Chi Kun leaving in such a hurry. He looked at the jade token in his hand. It wrote; High Firmament God Sect Patrol. Casually sending the jade token into his storage ring, Mo Wuji patted Shuai Guo and said, "Come on, let¡¯s find a shop." Whether it was in the Immortal World or the cultivation world, Shuai Guo was very eye-catching. However, on God Continent, he wasn¡¯t that conspicuous. In High Firmament City, there were plenty of other cultivators that walked with their beast pets. Some of them even rode on their beast pets. Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods composed the majority of the traffic within High Firmament City. Even so, Mo Wuji saw several God Monarch experts and some occasional World Gods. Compared to God Domain, the overall strength of God Continent seemed to be much higher. Mo Wuji had been to several cities in God Domain. There weren¡¯t as many World Gods and the number of God Monarchs were far fewer than in High Firmament City. After circling half the city, Mo Wuji had a deeper understanding towards the value of shops in High Firmament City. Without the help of Chi Kun, it wouldn¡¯t be simple to purchase a shop in High Firmament City. Not only that, the price of shops here was exceedingly high. If he hadn¡¯t sold pills back in Minor High Firmament Village, he wouldn¡¯t even have the power to buy a shop here. After asking around, Mo Wuji found that either he couldn¡¯t afford to buy a shop, he needed to wait a period of time before he could buy the shop, or the shop was in an isolated and remote corner. Mo Wuji wanted to open a pill shop in High Firmament City to earn cultivation resources. Naturally, he couldn¡¯t choose to open it at some random corner. "My lord, why don¡¯t we rent a shop." After following Mo Wuji for half a day, Shuai Guo suddenly suggested. "You think that I don¡¯t want to? Where.." Mo Wuji stopped abruptly. He actually saw that a shop was available for rent. Clearly, Shuai Guo must have also seen it. "Let¡¯s go and take a look." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to cross the street towards that shop. Actually, renting a shop was more suitable for Mo Wuji. He had no intentions of joining High Firmament God Sect so he wouldn¡¯t stay in High Firmament City for a long time. Also, the location of this shop was not bad. It was situated at the cross junction of a busy street. What surprised Mo Wuji slightly was that the shop for rent was actually a medicine shop. Moreover, its name was rather unique - Cure-All Clinic. Ever since he entered the cultivation world, Mo Wuji rarely saw medicine shops. However, Mo Wuji knew that no matter how high one¡¯s cultivation was, one would still be prone to illnesses. Thus, besides pill refiners, there were also doctors. However, pill refiners were far more renowned than doctors. Back in the Immortal World, he had heard of the names of many Pill Emperors but he hadn¡¯t heard even one of the Ten Great Immortal Doctors that Lin Gu talked to him about. This was because the illness that a cultivator would contract was basically related to the cultivation. If one couldn¡¯t solve this sort of problem on their own, then even the best doctor might not necessarily be able to resolve it. Immortal Emperor Lun Cai¡¯s concubine was a living example of that. Another example would be Lin Gu¡¯s mother. If not for him, she probably wouldn¡¯t have been cured. Moreover, the reason why he could help was because of his vitality channel and the detoxification channel. It wasn¡¯t because he was great in the medical arts. "Boss, this place is situated in such a lively area but it still hasn¡¯t been rented out till now. Could there be some problem with it?" Shuai Guo was more experienced now. Before doing things, he would also consider the problems. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "Whether there are any problems, we would know when we take a look." Even though his cultivation was only at Nascent God Level 5, he was a person invited here by Chi Kun and he also had the jade token that Chi Kun gave to him. Mo Wuji believed that even if there were any issues, as long as he didn¡¯t offend anyone, Chi Kun should be able to resolve the matter for him. As he entered the medicine shop, he found that there weren¡¯t any patients. There were only a white-haired elder and a young girl. From Mo Wuji¡¯s perspective, that young girl was only at the Yuan Dan Stage. That old man, however, left Mo Wuji slightly surprised. Mo Wuji was able to faintly discern the cultivations of God Kings. However, the old man gave Mo Wuji the impression of a vast ocean; he was unable to discern this old man¡¯s cultivation at all. And upon a second look, this old man seemed as though he didn¡¯t have a cultivation at all; he was simple and ordinary. Mo Wuji definitely didn¡¯t believe that this old man was a simple person. A simple person definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to survive in this bustling city. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue observing this old man. Instead, his gaze landed on the young girl. Soon, he discovered that something was amiss. This young girl looked like she was in the Yuan Dan Stage, but in reality, her cultivation was very unstable; she could slip off the Yuan Dan Stage at any moment. In God Continent, the Yuan Dan Stage was no different from an ant. Mo Wuji guessed that this girl was probably ill, which was why her cultivation seemed so unstable. However, Mo Wuji wouldn¡¯t openly ask about that. He knew that in front of this white-haired elder, he was also an ant. "Are you here for treatment?" The old man asked warmly when he saw Mo Wuji come in. Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists, "This junior saw that this shop was available for rent, which was why I came in to inquire more." "You want to rent my clinic?" This old man¡¯s voice was slightly doubtful; he started to size Mo Wuji up with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "Yes, may I ask how many god crystals will it cost a year?" Mo Wuji braced himself and asked. There didn¡¯t seem anything inappropriate about this old man¡¯s gaze but Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t help but feel uncomfortable. "100,000 high-grade god crystals a year." The old man finally retracted his gaze and answered. 100,000 high-grade god crystals a year? Mo Wuji was slightly in disbelief. This price wasn¡¯t too expensive, but too cheap. According to his previous inquiries in High Firmament City, he came to the conclusion that with a position like this, the rent for this Cure-All Clinic would cost at least 500,000 high-grade god crystals a year. If it was put for sale, its price would definitely be something near 10,000,000 high-grade god crystals. "Senior, may I ask if there are any conditions?" Mo Wuji continued asking. He definitely didn¡¯t believe that with a price of 100,000 high-grade god crystals a year, this shop still hadn¡¯t been rented out. The old man nodded approvingly towards Mo Wuji, "Not bad, you¡¯ve guessed that I have other conditions to rent out this shop. You¡¯re right. I do have several conditions. If you wish to rent my shop it needs to stay as a clinic or a medicine shop. Also, the signboard outside cannot be changed; it must be hung outside." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. So that was the case. If it was someone else, unless that person was an idiot, that person wouldn¡¯t agree to such conditions. Why would people want to rent a shop in a bustling place like High Firmament City? Wasn¡¯t it to earn cultivation resources? If you rented this shop, not only couldn¡¯t you change the name, you must retain its status as a clinic. Wasn¡¯t this simply equivalent to throwing one¡¯s money away? "Senior, besides those conditions, are there any other conditions?" Mo Wuji continued asking. "You are really going to open a clinic? You want to be compassionate like me? And save the lives of those suffering from disease?" The old man didn¡¯t answer Mo Wuji¡¯s question but asked more questions. This was the first time that he encountered a person who didn¡¯t leave after hearing his previous conditions. Mo Wuji laughed ruefully, "I don¡¯t want to open a clinic. But since senior necessitates that this shop must be a clinic, then junior can only open a clinic." Naturally, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t want to open a clinic. As long as this old man didn¡¯t have any other conditions, he could retain this clinic¡¯s signboard and hang a second signboard that showed that he was selling pills. This wouldn¡¯t be conflicting with the old man¡¯s condition. If this old man said that he couldn¡¯t hang any other signboards, then he could only turn and leave. This old man chuckled and said, "Not bad. I don¡¯t have any other conditions. As long as you agree to my conditions, we can sign an agreement. We will renew yearly." With that, the old man took out two jade tokens and placed them in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji scanned the jade tokens briefly. Indeed, there weren¡¯t any other conditions on the jade tokens. Reassured, Mo Wuji placed his spiritual will imprints on the tokens. He kept one and handed the other to the old man. Thereafter, he brought out 100,000 high-grade god crystals and handed them to the old man. "You have potential. I wish you good luck. Also, all the things within the shop will now belong to you." The old man swiftly kept the agreement jade token, carried the girl, and disappeared without a trace. "My lord, why do I feel like something is amiss?" Shuai Guo asked doubtfully. There was no need to talk about Shuai Guo. Mo Wuji also felt that something was wrong. Chapter 966: Changing The Rules Chapter 966: Changing The Rules Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "At the most, I lose those 100,000 god crystals." With that, Mo Wuji casually created some signboards and threw them to Shuai Guo, "Shuai Guo, hang these signboards. Just don¡¯t take down that ¡®Cure-All Clinic¡¯ signboard." After half an incense¡¯s time, the exterior of Cure-All Clinic changed completely. Most conspicuous was the signboard - Ping Fan Pill-Smith Shop. Below that signboard, there were several other signboards introducing the various services provided. This included: Concocting Pills, Selling God Pills, Purchasing God Herbs, Forging Equipment¡­ Of course, right at the bottom, there was a signboard with three words - Cure-All Clinic. Mo Wuji had adhered to the condition; he hadn¡¯t removed the signboard for Cure-All Clinic. It was just that this place was completely different from before. ¡­ By the time Chi Kun and Yu Chuo rushed back to the sect¡¯s grand hall, it was already filled with people. Not only was High Firmament God Sect¡¯s Sect Head Xing Wen here, the various mountain lords and elders were all present as well. All these experts would only gather together during an important ceremony. "Greetings Sect Head. Greetings to all the Mountain Lords and Elders." Not only was Chi Kun¡¯s cultivation level the weakest here, his status was also the lowest. If he wasn¡¯t involved in a special mission, he wouldn¡¯t even have the rights to be here. Yu Chuo also bowed respectfully. Even though she was also respectful, she wasn¡¯t as fearful as Chi Kun. When Sect Head Xing Wen¡¯s stern face turned towards Chi Kun and Yu Chuo, it eased up significantly. "Chi Kun, you must have exhausted yourself during this long journey. Sit down first before we talk. Chuo¡¯Er, come sit beside me." "Yes." Yu Chuo responded obediently, then she sat beside Xing Wen. Chi Kun, on the other hand, didn¡¯t sit down. Instead, he said respectfully, "This disciple¡¯s journey has been successful so it can¡¯t be considered exhausting." Xing Wen didn¡¯t continue to ask Chi Kun to sit down. With a solemn expression, he asked, "You found the Green Dew Rice expert?" Chi Kun confidently brought out a jade bowl. With a flip of his hand, the bowl was filled with Green Dew Rice lined with faint gold runes. He handed the jade bowl to Sect Head Xing Wen and said elated, "Answering the Sect Head, this disciple has found an expert in growing Green Dew Rice. This is the rice grown by him. It¡¯s definitely the best among high-grade Green Dew Rice. Sect Head, please take a look." The faint fragrance of high-grade Green Dew Rice pervaded through the hall. Everyone within the hall felt a soothed and comforted. "These are indeed high-quality high-grade Green Dew Rice." An elder uttered. Xing Wen peeled the outer coating of the Green Dew Rice, revealing a perfect a perfect grain. He also nodded approvingly, "This is indeed great high-grade Green Dew Rice. Chi Kun is right, the person who grew this is definitely an expert." "Chi Kun, what¡¯s the cultivation of this person?" After Xing Wen finished speaking, an elder on his left asked anxiously. Chi Kun started. Why did this elder ask about the cultivation of the person who grew the Green Dew Rice? It wasn¡¯t related to the Green Dew Rice at all. It was just that the person who asked was the Left High Firmament Mountain Lord, Lao Yu. Thus, Chi Kun answered respectfully, "His spiritual roots are extremely bad, so his cultivation is weak and his abilities are average. However, he also has another speciality, he¡¯s a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner¡­" Chi Kun subconsciously stopped speaking. He discovered that the atmosphere was slightly amiss. Could he have found the wrong expert? Xing Wen sighed and said to Chi Kun, "Take a seat first. Let Elder Ren Fei explain things to you." "Yes." Chi Kun¡¯s heart was filled with confusion and he could only sit down at the very furthest corner. Elder Ren Fei was at God King Stage Level 2 and he had a short figure. He nodded towards Chi Kun and said, "The assessment date for Nirvana Learning Academy has already been set¡­" "Ah¡­" Chi Kun and Yu Chuo were both pleasantly surprised. They were worried that the assessment would drag for a very long time. After all, Mo Wuji hadn¡¯t agreed to join High Firmament God Sect. Ren Fei sighed, "This time, Nirvana Learning Academy has raised the rewards. The top ten sects will not only have more placings to enter the Nirvanic River, they would also have a chance to listen to a Unity God preach the Dao. That¡¯s not all, it¡¯s rumoured that the Dao Fruits on a Dao Fruit Tree within Nirvana Learning Academy are going to mature. After this assessment, Nirvana Learning Academy will be giving out five Dao Fruits to the top five sects or individuals." Chi Kun inhaled a breath of cold air. No wonder why the sect was being so prudent. These rewards were simply preposterous. There was no need to talk about the chance to listen to a Unity God preaching the Dao, just the Dao Fruit alone was worth a sect¡¯s full effort. This was because a Dao Fruit was basically a thing of legend within God Continent. The Dao Fruit from Nirvana Learning Academy was a true dao fruit. It wasn¡¯t some random god fruit which was named a dao fruit. If they could enter the top five, they would really have a chance of entering the Unity God Stage of legends. "That''s great news." Chi Kun immediately thought about Mo Wuji¡¯s abilities. With Mo Wuji''s Green Dew Rice, even if he couldn''t get first place, getting into the top five, no, top three, shouldn''t be an issue, right? Ren Fei sighed, "This is indeed good news. Unfortunately, the assessment method has changed. Growing Green Dew Rice, which used to be an individual assessment, is now part of a series of assessment. If disciples aren''t able to score well in the earlier assessments, they would be eliminated, resulting in no points at all." Chi Kun didn''t immediately understand. He subconsciously asked, "What does that mean?" Ren Fei wasn''t impatient. In fact, he explained patiently, "Previously, disciples that take part in the Magic Arts Assessment would obtain scores for Magic Arts, those that take part in the Array Assessment would obtain scores for their Arrays, while those that take part in the Green Dew Rice Assessment would obtain scores for their Green Dew Rice. Ultimately, the sum of those scores will be the sect''s score. But this time, it''s different. The oncoming assessment will employ an elimination system. For example, if the first assessment is for Arrays, if you are unable to pass it, then you wouldn''t even qualify to take part in the later assessments for Magic Arts and Green Dew Rice¡­" This time, Chi Kun finally came to an understanding. He muttered to himself, "Doesn''t this mean that if the sect doesn''t have an all-around talent, everyone might end up eliminated?" Ren Fei responded, "That''s indeed the case. Originally, your act of finding this talent could have been one of the great contributions to the sect. Unfortunately, Nirvana Learning Academy decided to change the rules. Even if the person you found could grow peak grade Green Dew Rice, it would still be useless." Chi Kun thought about how the Left High Firmament Mountain Lord asked him about Mo Wuji''s abilities and cultivation. From the looks of it, those were only the most basic of requirements. In the oncoming assessment, not only must one be strong, one also needed to be skilled in the Array Dao, the Talisman Dao and maybe other auxiliary Daos. As for whether the sect will send its strongest experts to take part in the assessment, Chi Kun didn''t ask about that. He knew that the Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment was limited to cultivators below the Heavenly God Stage. In Nirvana Learning Academy''s perspective, once a person reaches the Heavenly God Stage, their future was basically set. "Chi Kun, here is what I''m thinking. The person that you invited definitely cannot represent us in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. Are you able to get him to teach our High Firmament God Sect''s core disciples on how to grow Green Dew Rice? We don''t need him to impart everything, as long as he is able to teach our disciples how to grow intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, we wouldn''t lose points in that area." Looking at the disappointment on Chi Kun''s face, Xing Wen took the initiative to speak. Chi Kun was naturally feeling despondent. He worked so hard to go to Low God Land to invite Mo Wuji to High Firmament God Sect. Now, the sect was telling him that all his work had been useless. How could he not understand what the sect head was saying? The sect basically wanted to have their core disciples with better talents to learn the various kinds of Daos at this last minute. After all, this new set of rules didn''t target High Firmament God Sect specifically, but all sects in general. If High Firmament God Sect was really able to find a genius that could learn the various Daos in a short period of time, then they might actually be able to charge into the top ten. "Sect Head, I have a different idea." Yu Chuo, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly opened her mouth. After everyone''s eyes turned to her, Yu Chuo said calmly, "Various Seniors, our High Firmament God Sect should have at least ten placing for the oncoming assessment. We can have Mo Wuji teach our disciples how to grow Green Dew Rice. At the same time, we can allow Mo Wuji to take part in the assessment. After all, that Mo Wuji isn''t only an expert in growing Green Dew Rice, he is also a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner. I believe, the Pill Dao will definitely be one of the criteria of Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment." Xing Wen smiled bitterly, "Let''s not talk about how every placing to take part in the assessment is extremely valuable. If that Mo Wuji is even able to be of any use, I wouldn''t mind wasting a placing on him. But do you know what''s Nirvana Learning Academy''s first assessment? The first assessment is a Sacred Arts Assessment. Even if that Mo Wuji''s Green Dew Rice is amazing, and even if his Pill Dao is exceptional, he might get eliminated at the very first assessment." Hearing these words, Yu Chuo didn''t continue speaking. She was very clear of Mo Wuji''s rubbish cultivation. With Mo Wuji''s level of talent, it would be weird if he could pass a Sacred Arts Assessment. "Sect Head, Elders and Mountain Lords, I am the one who invited Mo Wuji. His ability to grow Green Dew Rice is unquestionable. Moreover, this person is straightforward and generous, I believe that there shouldn''t be a problem with inviting him to teach our core disciples how to grow Green Dew Rice. I will find him right now." When Chi Kun saw that things had already reached such a stage, he could agree with Sect Head Xing Wen''s words and have Mo Wuji come teach their disciples. ¡­ Cure-all Clinic. The more Mo Wuji looked around, the more speechless he felt. That white-haired old man sounded really generous when he said that he would give everything in the shop to Mo Wuji. In reality, the things here were rubbish, no, the things here couldn''t even be considered rubbish. Just as Mo Wuji was thinking whether he should throw away everything here, a timid voice sounded by the door, "May I ask whether I can see a doctor?" There was an old woman standing at the entrance of the clinic. The one speaking was the youth that was supporting her. Looking that this youth, he should be in the intermediate Nascent God Stage. From the way he spoke, it showed that he was a timid and apprehensive person. Shuai Guo harrumphed, "What kind of eyes do you have? Here, we sell pills, take pill orders and purchase god herbs. Of course, if you need magic treasures, we will also be able to satisfy you." "That means to say that this place is no longer a clinic?" Another voice resounded. Compared to that youth''s voice this voice was much deeper. Mo Wuji''s eyes landed on that person. It was a red-faced cultivator at the late Heavenly God Stage. From his attire, he should be a deacon of High Firmament God Sect. Chapter 967: Vitality Soup And Solitary God Pill Chapter 967: Vitality Soup And Solitary God Pill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t answer. He guessed that he had fallen into a trap, and before he understood what that trap was, he wasn''t going to casually say anything. When his spiritual will scanned through that old man''s rental agreement, it clearly stated that if this place remained as a clinic and continued to hang the ''Cure-All Clinic¡¯ signboard, then he wouldn''t be infringing the conditions. Who said that clinics could not also concoct pills and be involved in other businesses? But when Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on the rental agreement once more, he was stunned. Additional lines of words began to appear, "Cure-All Clinic is a business of the Ao Clan. Tenants must adhere to the following conditions. Firstly, this shop must be opened as a clinic. Secondly, at the 17th of each month, tenants must provide a bowl of Vitality Soup to the Ao Clan. The ingredients for the Vitality Soup are: Tier 5 Overflowing Pulse Root, Tier 5 Wave Flame Bamboo, Tier 5 True Sprout Fruit¡­" The second condition started to appear. Looking at the ingredients for the Vitality Soup, Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold air. Whether it was in God Domain or God Continent, Tier 5 god herbs were the highest grade of god herbs. This was due to the restraints of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. In both the God Domain and God Continent, Tier 6 god herbs were extremely rare and almost nonexistent. And this soup actually required six Tier 5, 12 Tier 4 and 18 Tier 3 god herbs. Even if he sold himself, he wouldn''t be able to obtain so many high tiered herbs. If he had Tier 5 god herbs, he would have started practising to be a Tier 5 God Pill King a long time ago. That old thing had actually laid such a huge trap for him, making use of the fact that his spiritual will was unable to see the hidden condition within the agreement. At this instant, Mo Wuji was sure that old man was a God King. "I didn''t think it was possible. Old Man Xin was actually able to rent this shop out. Truly remarkable." When that Heavenly God deacon saw Mo Wuji''s silence, he instantly started to chuckle. Mo Wuji''s heart sank. That old man was a God King but he still had to provide the Ao Clan with a bowl of Vitality Soup every month. On the other hand, he was a puny Nascent God, he probably wouldn''t be enough to be an appetizer. 17th of every month. It''s already the 13th; there are only four more days till the Ao Clan comes to collect the Vitality Soup. "Who says that this isn''t a clinic. Open your eyes and look at the signboards outside. See whether there''s a signboard for Cure-All Clinic. If there''s nothing else, please take your leave. I need to tend to this patient," Mo Wuji said coldly. He had some apprehensions towards the Ao Clan that even that white-haired old man was fearful of. However, this did not mean that he needed to be afraid of a mere Heavenly God deacon. "You have guts. I will definitely let those people know that the tenant has changed. Perhaps they might push forward their rent collection." This Heavenly God deacon originally wanted to blackmail Mo Wuji. He didn''t expect that Mo Wuji would be so fearless towards him, frustrating him greatly. "Get lost." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to berate. He hoped that this deacon would charge him with some crime. That way, he could be expelled out of High Firmament God Sect. This deacon clearly wasn''t an idiot. He only said coldly, "I will get lost. But a few days later, I will definitely return and enjoy the show." With that, he really turned and left. If it was some other shop owner that spoke to him in such a way, he would have definitely grabbed that person and dragged him away. However, he didn''t dare to do so for Cure-All Clinic. If he gets blamed for anything, even a hundred of him wouldn''t be enough to atone for the mistake. "My Lord." Shuai Guo could also sense that something was amiss. Mo Wuji waved his hand, stopping Shuai Guo from speaking any further. Thereafter, he spoke to the old woman and the youth, "Bring the patient in. Let me take a look." "Yes, yes." The youth anxiously supported the old woman into Mo Wuji''s shop. Mo Wuji was still worried about the matters with the agreement. He casually said, "Have a seat. Let me have a look at your pulse." Mo Wuji wasn''t very skilled in medical arts. However, medical arts were completely different between cultivators and mortals. Thus, even though Mo Wuji didn''t know much about the Medicine Dao, he was still able to do many amazing things with his vitality channel. When Mo Wuji''s spiritual will penetrated into this old woman''s spirit channels, he received a shock. This old woman was actually a World God expert. Since when were there so many experts? That old man that just cheated him was a God King. Now, a patient that he casually took in was a World God? Soon, Mo Wuji found the cause of the illness. Even though Mo Wuji didn''t know much about Medicine Dao, this old woman''s illness was extremely simple: blackened spirit channels, withered blood vessels, and a collapsing primordial spirit. "Senior Doctor, may I ask about my sister''s illness¡­" The youth looked at Mo Wuji with an expression of worry. Mo Wuji did not seem to hear the youth''s words; he was thinking about the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction. Weren''t these the symptoms of corrosion by the seawater from Nirvana Ocean? He cultivated the Mortal Dao, allowing him to be without spiritual roots and channels. Thus, he wouldn''t be assailed by the seawater of Nirvana Ocean. He could prevent against the corrosion from Nirvana Ocean''s seawater, but that didn''t mean that he could treat patients that were afflicted by it. Just as Mo Wuji was about to shake his head, he suddenly noticed that this old woman was actually able to survive not such a long time despite having these symptoms. This meant that the two of them definitely had some methods. "Oh right, what did you just say?" Mo Wuji regained his countenance. Before this youth could reply, Mo Wuji suddenly remembered the youth¡¯s words, "This is your sister?" "Yes, Senior Doctor, this is my older sister. Senior Doctor, may I ask about my sister¡¯s condition?" The youth spoke slowly, seemingly afraid that Mo Wuji would say that she could not be saved. Mo Wuji secretly lamented the impressiveness of the Nirvana Ocean. This old woman was this youth¡¯s sister, which meant that she wasn¡¯t much older than the youth. But after facing the corrosion from the Nirvana Ocean, she actually aged so horribly. "First, answer a few of my questions. Your sister should have been corroded by the Nirvana Ocean¡¯s seawater, right? Those tainted by the Nirvana Ocean¡¯s seawater die promptly. How is it possible that your sister is able to survive till now?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. Even though he was asking this youth, his eyes were on the old woman. The youth hurriedly said, "My sister can no longer talk. The main reason why she is still surviving is because of a pill formula that I obtained. Unfortunately, I¡¯m unable to find a pill refiner to concoct this pill for me. I can only use the simplified method, which is to brew water with Nirvana Dao Sand." "Pill formula?" Mo Wuji was surprised. There was actually a pill that could resolve the Nirvana Ocean¡¯s corrosion? Mo Wuji really wanted to see that pill formula. At the very least, there wasn¡¯t such a pill formula in God Pill King Green Robes¡¯s pill formula jade letter. However, he knew that this wasn¡¯t polite. This pill formula was definitely invaluable. How could this youth just let him see it? "Senior Doctor, I can let you see the pill formula." Even without Mo Wuji asking, this youth did not hesitate to take out a leather scroll from his storage ring. Mo Wuji noticed a hint of anxiety in the old woman''s eyes. If she could speak, she would definitely stop her brother from handing the pill formula over. However, her younger brother was clearly out of options, which was why he even took out the pill formula. Mo Wuji clasped his fists to the old woman and said, "This senior sister, rest assured. If I can concoct the pill to save you, by letting me see this pill formula, I will concoct the pill for you free of charge." The old woman seemed to know that this could not be prevented. She could only close her eyes helplessly. Mo Wuji unrolled the scroll and was greeted by three words - Solitary God Pill. The Solitary God Pill was a Tier 5 god pill. It had three main ingredients and more than ten secondary ones. The main ingredients were: 1. Purple Nirvana Dao Sand; 2. Five Rune Crushed Fruit; 3. Defrosting Lotus. They were all Tier 5 ingredients. Mo Wuji hurriedly took out God King Green Robe¡¯s jade letter and found the introduction to Tier 5 god herbs. He wasn¡¯t ready to charge to the Tier 5 God Pill King level, which was why he only read till the Tier 4 ingredients. Now, he was easily able to find the introductions to the Five Rune Crushed Fruit and Defrosting Lotus. What caught his attention the most was the Nirvana Dao Sand. Nirvana Dao Sand was sand formed from the dao laws within the Nirvana Ocean. After removing the dao spots on the exterior of the sand, a cultivator could sense the profound dao intent within. The Purple Nirvana Dao Sand was even able to provide dao intents for cultivators to step into the God King Stage. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think that the huge piece of rock he casually grabbed in the bottom of the ocean would have such value. Even though he didn¡¯t place much value towards such insights, this thing was definitely worth a lot of money. If he knew that it was so valuable, he would definitely have picked more up. From what he read in this youth¡¯s pill formula, the Nirvana Dao Sand could be used to concoct the Solitary God Pill. The Solitary God Pill could heal a cultivator''s corroded spiritual roots and channels, fix a collapsing primordial spirit, as well as stabilise the blood within the body. To Mo Wuji, this was more than 10,000 times better than the dao insights. If he wanted to step into the God King Stage, he definitely wouldn¡¯t want to be gaining insights from the Dao of other people. Seeing Mo Wuji remain silent for a long time with a look of uncertainty, that youth nervously asked, "Senior Doctor, there¡¯s still a method at the back of this pill formula. It can temporarily maintain a cultivator¡¯s vitality and prevent his spirit channels from corroding. My sister managed to find a Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. I wasn¡¯t able to find a Tier 5 God Pill King, so I could only use it to brew water¡­" By this time, Mo Wuji had already read the back of the pill formula. Indeed, there was a method which introduced the use of brewing Purple Nirvana Dao Sand with several other herbs in water. This could slow down the corrosion of the spirit channels and the withering of the blood vessels. Mo Wuji had some slight understanding towards the situation. This old woman definitely wanted to use the Nirvana Dao Sand to charge to the God King Stage. In the end, her luck was not bad, she actually managed to find a Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. Unfortunately, she was assailed by the seawater of Nirvana Ocean. As a result, her brother had to use this Nirvana Dao Sand to brew a solution for her, and this method still wasn¡¯t enough to save her life. It was really hard to say whether she gained or lost during that attempt. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji passed the pill formula back to the youth and said slowly, "It¡¯s going to be very hard to cure your sister as she needs the Solitary God Pill. I¡¯m unable to concoct the Solitary God Pill now. However, I do have an idea. If it works, then there¡¯s some hope of saving your sister. But I must let you know, the likelihood of this method failing is very high." The youth¡¯s knees hit the ground, "Senior Doctor, I don¡¯t have any other option. As long as you can save my sister, I would be willing to do anything, even if it means that I have to die." Mo Wuji extended his hand to support this youth and sighed, "This method will not only affect your safety but mine as well. If you have nowhere else to go, you can stay here. I need to be in seclusion for three days." Chapter 968: Here For Their Vitality Soup Chapter 968: Here For Their Vitality Soup Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though Cure-All Clinic couldn''t be considered big, it definitely wasn¡¯t small. Besides the main shop, there were still two patient rooms on the first floor. On the second floor, there was a guest room and two cultivation rooms. After Mo Wuji entered a cultivation room, he formed seals on the door. Thereafter, he took out that rental agreement. That white-haired old man was a God King, so it wasn¡¯t unusual that he wasn¡¯t able to see through the trap within the jade letter. Even if his sea of consciousness was any stronger, it couldn''t be compared to a God King. However, this gave him a reminder that even if he didn''t notice anything wrong, it didn''t mean that it was actually so. An additional condition had appeared in the jade letter. This should be due to a concealment seal. The reason why he didn''t see through it previously shouldn''t be because his Array Dao was inferior to the white-haired elder, but because his spiritual will was far weaker. Now that he knew of the old man''s method, he would have a chance of breaking it. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed on the jade letter. After a second round of observation, he finally understood exactly how these rows of words appeared. Back when he received this jade letter rent agreement, that additional condition hadn¡¯t been there. The problem shouldn¡¯t be with the contents of this jade letter, but that old man¡¯s spiritual will imprint. That old man¡¯s spiritual will imprint had been particularly clear. He even thought that it was because the old man had placed great importance in this jade letter. Now, he finally understood that it was because the old man wanted to add these additional rows of words. Clearly, the white-haired old man was an expert on seals; he had left a transfer seal within his spiritual will imprint. When that old man left Cure-All Clinic, he transferred those lines through the transfer array in his spiritual will onto that jade letter. Because these rows of words were at the very back and there was still a small gap between the final line and the spiritual will imprint in the corner, the agreement didn¡¯t look jarring. Mo Wuji felt speechless. If he had immediately thrown this jade letter into his Undying World, even with that old man¡¯s cultivation at the God King Stage, that old man couldn¡¯t have transferred those additional lines onto the jade letter. At the same time, Mo Wuji was laughing coldly in his heart. When it comes to cultivation and spiritual will, I am far from you. However, if you want to talk about seals and the Array Dao, I will not be afraid of you. From this white-haired old man¡¯s methods, he should be a Grade 4 God Array Master. His skill with seals should also be around the same level. On the other hand, Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 God Array Master a long time ago. Moreover, he had specialised in seals and imprints. After all, spiritual will imprints had latched onto him for god-knows how many times. Fortunately, he had discovered this early. If he had waited a few more days, the spiritual will imprint would have completely inscribed the additional condition onto the jade letter. By then, even if his Array Dao was far superior to that old man, it would be too late to remove this condition. One spiritual will rune after another landed on the jade letter. This void runes of Mo Wuji¡¯s had been learnt back in the Immortal World¡¯s Sword River. These runes had helped him countless times. If it was another person, he would need to engrave runes on the jade letter in order to get rid of the old man¡¯s transferred information. But because Mo Wuji controlled void runes, he didn¡¯t need to engrave array runes. It was enough for his array runes to latch onto the jade letter. Another three days passed. By the time Mo Wuji retracted his array runes, the information transferred by that old man¡¯s spiritual will imprint had disappeared without a trace. No signs of any handling could be seen. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and his chest lightened. At this moment, the old man¡¯s spiritual will imprint had also turned invalid; it could no longer transfer additional information for a second time. Also, at the end of the day, the High Firmament City could be considered High Firmament God Sect¡¯s territory and he was personally invited by the High Firmament God Sect. He even had a patrol jade token on him. As long as he was on the side of reason, no matter how powerful the Ao Clan was, they couldn¡¯t do much to him. To Mo Wuji, this was only the first step. When his jade letter shows that he was not involved with providing the Ao Clan with Vitality Soup, the Ao Clan would definitely be frustrated badly. This was why he needed to invite Chi Kun to help him. If he was on the side of reason, and with Chi Kun speaking up for him, the Ao Clan could only pursue that white-haired old man. Mo Wuji had a 90% certainty that the Ao Clan could find that white-haired old man. Otherwise, the old man wouldn¡¯t have been so afraid of them for so many years. As long as the Ao Clan could catch that white-haired old man, then he would be able to get his hands on Tier 5 god herbs to practise on. Think about it, the old man was able to provide the Ao Clan with a bowl of Vitality Soup every month for so many years. How many Tier 5 god herbs would he have. If the old man wanted his shop back, he could only compensate with Tier 5 god herbs. Mo Wuji believed that as long as there weren¡¯t any accidents, his plan would have a 90% chance of succeeding. He, Mo Wuji, wasn¡¯t someone that could be taken advantage of. If you tried to do that, then you would have to pay the price. ¡­ When Mo Wuji came down from the second floor, he saw a slightly fidgety Chi Kun. "Pill Master Mo, you¡¯ve finally come out from seclusion. I have waited for you for four days." When Chi Kun saw Mo Wuji come out, he elated when over to greet Mo Wuji. If Shuai Guo hadn¡¯t claimed that Mo Wuji was about to break through into the next level of his cultivation and required four days in seclusion, Chi Kun might have already interrupted Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji saw Chi Kun, he heaved a sigh of relief. If Chi Kun wasn¡¯t here, he only had a patrol jade token which wasn¡¯t very reassuring. Now that Chi Kun was here in person, everything would be easier. "Haha, I was just about to look for you." Mo Wuji chuckled. Chi Kun¡¯s presence here had improved his mood greatly. Chi Kun thought about the words that he came here to say. He felt slightly apologetic and he hesitated slightly. As Chi Kun was thinking about how he could break the news nicely to Mo Wuji, a gloomy voice sounded, "Where¡¯s the shop owner? I¡¯m here for the Vitality Soup. Eh, Dao Friend Chi is also here?" When Chi Kun saw this person, he didn¡¯t behave too courteously. He only nodded casually, "I didn¡¯t think I would meet Caretaker Ao here. It¡¯s truly a coincidence¡­" Before he finished speaking, Chi Kun suddenly thought of something and stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment, "Pill Master Mo, this shop couldn¡¯t be Cure-All Clinic, right?" Mo Wuji nodded doubtfully, "That¡¯s right, this shop is Cure-All Clinic. When I wanted to rent this clinic, I need to maintain it as a clinic. Take a look, the two behind are here to seek my help." Chi Kun¡¯s face changed and turned slightly ugly. How could he, Chi Kun, not know of the Ao Clan¡¯s rules? Unfortunately, before he got to remind Mo Wuji of this matter, Mo Wuji had already fallen into the trap. "So you¡¯re an acquaintance of Dao Friend Chi. First, pass me the Vitality Soup." Caretaker Ao¡¯s appearance was similar to the way he spoke, he looked down and overcast. Mo Wuji knitted his brows, "What Vitality Soup?" Hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, this Caretaker Ao¡¯s expression turned cold, "Do you think that your origins are very great and that you can ignore the rules set by the High Firmament City? I will give you ten breaths of time, hand over the Vitality Soup." "Pill Master Mo, if you infringe the rules set by High Firmament City, even I can¡¯t protect you." Chi Kun anxiously transmitted a message to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji nodded towards Chi Kun, then stared coldly at Caretaker Ao and said, "Caretaker Ao, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. It¡¯s true that I¡¯m opening a clinic, but I have never agreed to provide any Vitality Soup, nor signed any agreement about it. Could it be that your Ao Clan could just distort black and white and bully outsiders?" "Pill Master Mo, did you really not agree to prepare Vitality Soup? And you didn¡¯t sign such an agreement?" Chi Kun asked anxiously when he heard Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Mo Wuji said resolutely, "I didn¡¯t." Chi Kun nodded towards Mo Wuji then said calmly, "Pill Master Mo, as long as you didn¡¯t sign an agreement to provide Vitality Soup, no one in High Firmament City will dare to touch a single hair of yours." If that white-haired elder knew that Mo Wuji had such a huge backer and was an even better array master than him, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have picked Mo Wuji. Caretaker Ao¡¯s face turned ugly. He didn¡¯t continue pressuring Mo Wuji but sent out several flying swords. Seeing Caretaker Ao send out flying sword messages, Chi Kun didn¡¯t lag behind. He also sent out several messages. Chi Kun¡¯s impression of Mo Wuji was not bad; Mo Wuji was a magnanimous and upright person. Moreover, Mo Wuji had come to help and he had also introduced Mo Wuji to Nirvana Learning Academy. Now, Mo Wuji couldn¡¯t represent High Firmament God Sect in the assessment so he naturally couldn¡¯t enter Nirvana Learning Academy. Not only that, Mo Wuji had to share his methods on how to grow Green Dew Rice. This left Chi Kun feeling slightly apologetic towards Mo Wuji. Because of these reasons, he wanted to whole-heartedly support Mo Wuji for this matter. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, things had progressed according to plan. He clasped his fists towards Chi Kun gratefully, "Many thanks, Dao Friend Chi. After this matter ends, I owe you a favour." Just as Chi Kun and Mo Wuji exchanged a few words, two figures descended. When Mo Wuji saw the two men that landed beside Caretaker Ao, his eyebrows twitched. While he couldn¡¯t see through their cultivation, he could tell that one of them was a God King while the other was a World God. This Ao Clan could casually send a God King over, they were truly too terrifying. Even God Domain¡¯s Forgotten Creek Dao School couldn¡¯t compare. Chi Kun hurriedly came forward and clasped his fists, "Greetings God King Wide Search." Chi Kun was also a World God expert. While he had to greet a God King, he didn¡¯t behave so politely to the other World God. The man that Chi Kun addressed as God King Wide Search looked like a bamboo stick. He only casually nodded towards Chi Kun then turned towards Mo Wuji, "So you¡¯re the one that wants to go against the rules and not hand over the Vitality Soup?" Mo Wuji¡¯s heart burned with anger. This b*stard talked as though he was at the centre of the universe. Didn¡¯t this b*stard care about asking the cause of the matter? Moreover, this was when Chi Kun was here. If Chi Kun wasn¡¯t here, this fella might have already sent a tight slap over. "Haha, Dao Friend Wide Search¡¯s words sure are tyrannical. If it was me, my heart might have jumped out in fear." Another voice sounded. Following which, a man and woman landed outside Mo Wuji¡¯s ship. Looking at the man, Mo Wuji thought in his heart: Another God King. On the other hand, he recognised the girl. She was Yu Chuo, the one who came with him from Low God Land. Chapter 969: King Title Chapter 969: King Title Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Yu Chuo, who had always been a silent person, actually nodded towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji¡¯s heart sank; he had a bad feeling about this. Because in Yu Chuo¡¯s eyes, he saw a hint of apology. He saw the same thing in Chi Kun¡¯s eyes. In the beginning, he thought it was because Chi Kun hadn¡¯t helped him to find a good shop and thus felt ashamed for the matters with the Ao Clan. But from the looks of things, Chi Kun¡¯s and Yu Chuo¡¯s guilt shouldn¡¯t be due to the shop. "God King Rising Jade, did you especially come here just to say those words?" Ao Clan¡¯s God King Wide Search¡¯s tone was calm. In terms of cultivation, he and God King Rising Jade were around the same; they were both in God King Level 4. However, the difference between the Ao Clan and High Firmament God Sect wasn¡¯t as simple as that. Moreover, the Ao Clan and High Firmament God Sect were inextricably linked. There were several members of the Ao Clan occupying the top brass of High Firmament God Sect. Thus, in High Firmament God Sect, the Ao Clan could be considered a power. Chi Kun shot Mo Wuji a glance. Mo Wuji hurriedly came forward to greet God King Rising Jade, then explained the cause of the situation. After hearing Mo Wuji¡¯s words, God King Wide Search said indifferent, "Take out your rental agreement." As an expert, how could he not know the way Old Man Xin was thinking? Old Man Xin had wanted to leave for a long time. However, he couldn¡¯t find an excuse, so he could only find a scapegoat. The reason why the Ao Clan simply let Old Man Xin go was because they knew that they couldn¡¯t squeeze out any Vitality Soup from Old Man Xin. Thus, they decided to give Old Man Xin the dignity of a God King and leave. If Old Man Xin still had the herbs to brew Vitality Soup, it wouldn¡¯t matter who he found as a scapegoat; the Ao Clan wouldn¡¯t have let him go so easily. Mo Wuji took out the rental agreement, but he didn¡¯t pass it to Wide Search. Instead, he passed it to Chi Kun. Chi Kun then passed it to God King Rising Jade. A hint of contempt appeared in Wide Search¡¯s eyes. If Old Man Xin wasn¡¯t even able to prepare a proper rental agreement before he left, then he really wasted his long years. God King Rising Jade read the jade letter multiple times. Then, he said plainly, "Mo Wuji doesn¡¯t have the responsibility to provide the Ao Clan with a bowl of Vitality Soup every month." "Impossible." Wide Search uttered promptly as his face changed. God King Rising Jade didn¡¯t hesitate to pass the jade letter in his hand to God King Wide Search, "You can take a look at it yourself. I believe that my eyes still function well despite my old age." God King Wide Search¡¯s spiritual will landed on the jade letter. Immediately, his expression sunk. There truly wasn¡¯t any form of unscrupulous methods left on the jade letter, and on the jade letter, there wasn¡¯t any condition about providing the Ao Clan with Vitality Soup. The only mention of the Ao Clan was that the shop belonged to the Ao Clan. "Very good, Xin Baisheng, my Ao Clan will definitely shatter your bones and scatter your ashes!" God King Wide Search clenched his fists, turning the jade letter into ash. God King Rising Jade said coldly, "Wide Search, what¡¯s the meaning of this?" God King Wide Search said calmly, "My Ao Clan isn¡¯t going to repent for a mere shop owner. From today onwards, the rights of this shop belong to Mo Wuji for a year. There¡¯s no need to pay my Ao Clan anything." After saying that, he stared at Mo Wuji coldly, "One year later, you f*ck off as far as you can." Mo Wuji¡¯s impression of the Ao Clan hit an all-time low. If he was strong enough, he would have given this b*stard one tight slap. That God King Xin Baisheng should have been tricked by the Ao Clan and had to give away so many free bowls of Vitality Soup because of that. Now that he had left, the Ao Clan still wanted to shatter his bones and scatter his ashes. This Ao Clan could be said to be filled with black hearts. Even though that old man tried to scam him, he still felt uncomfortable. Still, the greatest trash among them was this Ao Clan. What disappointed Mo Wuji was that because the High Firmament God Sect sent a God King over, the Ao Clan directly allowed him to occupy the shop for one year instead of bringing that old man here to contest for the rights. If they didn¡¯t catch that old man, then he, Mo Wuji, had to give up his hopes of obtaining the old man¡¯s Tier 5 god herbs. Indeed, some plans only come true in fantasy. The front part of his plan went well, but ultimately, he still didn¡¯t manage to obtain any god herbs. God King WIde Search and the caretakers from the Ao Clan left. God King Rising Jade nodded towards Mo Wuji, then also left with Yu Chuo. He didn¡¯t come here because of Chi Kun¡¯s message but because Yu Chuo had pleaded with him for his help. After everyone left, Chi Kun finally clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Pill Master Mo, I actually came here to apologize to you." Mo Wuji had already guessed that this would happen. However, he still said, "Brother Chi, you just provided me with great help. I should be the one thanking you." Chi Kun shook his head and explained Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s change in assessment rules and the conclusion of his sect¡¯s gathering. Thereafter, he silently waited for Mo Wuji¡¯s response. If Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t willing to teach the sect¡¯s participating disciples how to grow Green Dew Rice, then he could only help Mo Wuji leave secretly. Even though his relationship with Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t bad, his High Firmament God Sect definitely wouldn¡¯t let Mo Wuji leave so simply. Mo Wuji went silent. Growing Green Dew Rice didn¡¯t mean much to him, but how was he going to teach his method? While he could grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice, he didn¡¯t have any methods of teaching it. Even if he taught the disciples about grafting the rice with Five Leaf Grass, how should he teach about the next process? After grafting the Green Dew Rice with Five Leaf Grass, the Green Dew Rice would require multiple cycles of transplanting. This transplanting process depended on the deficiencies of the five elements of each individual strain, and only he could detect those deficiencies. This was because he had the spiritual eye and he could easily sense which of the five elements each strain of rice was lacking. How was he going to teach such a method to other people? "Pill Master Mo, if it¡¯s too hard¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Chi Kun¡¯s words, "Brother Chi, you have helped me plenty. I am willing to impart my methods of growing Green Dew Rice." "Many thanks, Pill Master Mo." Chi Kun clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji emotionally, "Pill Master Mo, if you need anything, I will try my best to request for them from my sect." Mo Wuji¡¯s heart stirred. He hurriedly said, "I¡¯m lacking some Tier 5 god herbs. Help me request for some from your sect. No matter how many you can get, they would all be very important to me." Tier 5 god herbs were also extremely important things to High Firmament God Sect. Even if the herbs that Mo Wuji wanted weren¡¯t extremely pricey, it still wouldn¡¯t be simple for High Firmament Sect to give them away. Even so, Chi Kun said, "Pill Master Mo, rest assured. I will definitely find ways to request the sect for some Tier 5 god herbs. However, they would most probably be some borderline Tier 5 god herbs and their price wouldn¡¯t be very high." Mo Wuji was going to use Tier 5 god herbs in order to practise concocting Tier 5 god herbs. Why would he care about their prices? When he heard those words, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Many thanks, Brother Chi. If you have Overflowing Pulse Root, Wave Flame Bamboo, True Sprout¡­" This time, before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, that youth who brought his older sister here to treat her illness hurriedly said, "Senior Doctor, I have already prepared these god herbs. It¡¯s just that I couldn¡¯t find a pill refiner to concoct the pill for me. As for other kinds of Tier 5 god herbs, I also have several on me." When Mo Wuji heard these words, he celebrated in his heart. He soon came to an understanding. While this youth¡¯s cultivation was ordinary, his sister was far from simple; she was an expert at the pinnacle of the World God Stage. It wasn¡¯t unusual for such an expert to have a collection of Tier 5 god herbs. "Pill Master Mo, is there anything else? If there¡¯s nothing else, you can go over to my High Firmament God Sect three days later for the lesson. I will have someone there to receive you. How about that?" Chi Kun didn¡¯t feel any form of resentment from Mo Wuji and he inwardly sighed in relief. Green Dew Rice was different from other kinds of plants. If one were to plant it with grievances in one¡¯s heart, or even teach about it with such feelings, it would be impossible to achieve its true essence. Mo Wuji asked with a tinge of unwillingness, " Brother Chi, is representing a sect the only way to enter Nirvana Learning Academy? Is there no other way?" Chi Kun had already told him that High Firmament God Sect could only send 10 disciples to take part in the assessment and these 10 would be selected among their core disciples. Thus, even if he, Mo Wuji, could plant amazing Green Dew Rice, he wouldn¡¯t be able to represent High Firmament God Sect. Chi Kun sighed in his heart. He knew that Mo Wuji only gained an interest in Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s Land of Mortals because of his words. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t really help Mo Wuji much. Now that Mo Wuji asked, he explained, "Actually, there are two other methods. There¡¯s a long-term method. First, you will enter Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s outer sect. Thereafter, you will slowly accumulate sect contribution points and eventually become a true disciple of Nirvana Learning Academy. Pill Master Mo, you¡¯re skilled in the Pill Dao as well as growing Green Dew Rice. I believe that in less than 1000 years, you would have earned enough sect contribution points to become a true disciple." "What¡¯s the second method?" The first method was immediately shot down. 1,000 years¡­ Forget about it. "The second method is to find a way to take part in the upcoming assessment. While you cannot represent a sect, you can take part in the assessment as a rogue cultivator." Even though Chi Kun was explaining the second method, he knew that this method was even harder for Mo Wuji. "How can I participate as a rogue cultivator?" Mo Wuji asked excitedly. Chi Kun explained patiently, "One way is to take part in the Rogue Cultivator Magic Arts Battle which will start three months from now. Only the top ten can represent the rogue cultivators in Nirvana Learning Academy. The second is to obtain a King Title in either the Pill, Smith, Array or Talisman Dao. For example, if you are a Tier 5 God Pill King or a Tier 5 God Array King¡­ you will be able to represent rogue cultivators to take part in the assessment. Because there are many rogue cultivators, they also get the most placings to take part in the assessment. There are a total of 30 placings. However, don¡¯t overestimate these 30 placings. The competition among rogue cultivators is far greater than within a sect." "Then how do I obtain a King Title?" Mo Wuji hurriedly asked. Chi Kun answered, "Nirvana Learning Academy supports the various Daos under the Heaven and Earth. Not just the Dao of Cultivation, Pill Dao, Smith Dao, Talisman Dao, Array Dao and various other Daos are highly recognised by Nirvana Learning Academy. Thus, Nirvana Learning Academy established various Dao Honour Towers in Nirvana Dao City. If you challenge the tower, you will have a chance to obtain a King Title." "Many thanks, Brother Chi. I understand now." Mo Wuji thanked Chi Kun. According to Chi Kun¡¯s words, there was still a year left to Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s assessment. This one year would be enough to charge to the Tier 5 God Pill King level. Even if he couldn¡¯t become a Tier 5 God Pill King, he could try charging to the Tier 5 God Array King level. Chapter 970: Conflicts In Passing Down His Knowledge Chapter 970: Conflicts In Passing Down His Knowledge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations What pleasantly surprised Mo Wuji was that after Chi Kun left, that youth actually brought out 191 Tier 5 god herbs of various varieties. Among which were some extremely rare ones which could not be bought. The included the Clear Jade God Flower which was highly sought after. The Clear Jade God Flower was the main ingredient for the God Jade Pill and the God Jade Pill was a Tier 5 pill used by World Kings to sense the God King Stage. Its value was immeasurable. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t keep the Clear Jade God Flower. He kept the rest and said, "Many thanks. Previously, I got the two of you to stay was actually a show for that caretaker. But now, I, Mo Wuji, promise that as long as I can I enter the Tier 5 God Pill King Stage, the first pill I will concoct is the Solitary God Pill." "Thank you, thank you.." The youth was happy beyond words. His talent was very bad and his cultivation was very low. He was always protected by his older sister, causing him to be reserved and shy. When his sister could still talk, she definitely wouldn¡¯t allow him to reveal their treasures. But now that his sister was facing her death, he no longer cared about such things. As long as his sister could be cured, he was willing to pay any price. Mo Wuji clapped the youth¡¯s shoulders and said, "If you don¡¯t mind, you can call me Pill Master Mo or Senior Brother Mo. I still don¡¯t know how I can address the two of you?" The youth said emotionally, "Big Brother Mo, my sister is called Chi Bing and I am called Chi Chuan." In order to have closer ties with Mo Wuji, he didn¡¯t address Mo Wuji as Senior Brother or Pill Master. Instead, he directly addressed Mo Wuji as Big Brother. "Take care of your sister. I need to enter seclusion to practise concocting the pill." Mo Wuji instructed Chi Chuan. He passed some god pills which were Tier 3 and lower to Shuai Guo, then he went back to his room on the second floor. He wasn¡¯t lacking pill formulas but god herbs. Within God Pill King Green Robes¡¯s jade letter, there were even pill formulas for Tier 6 god pills. Now that he had the god herbs, charging to the Tier 5 God Pill King Stage was his first priority. ¡­ The difference between Tier 5 god pills and Tier 4 god pills wasn¡¯t simply a single tier. When Mo Wuji was practising on Tier 4 god pills, he had sufficient god herbs. Pill refiners that could concoct Tier 5 god pills were called God Pill Kings. Besides the difficulty in obtaining Tier 5 god herbs and concocting Tier 5 god pills, the reason for this was because only God King experts would need Tier 5 god pills. Because of the restrictions of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, the Tier 5 God Pill King level was basically the highest level achievable in God Continent. During these three days, Mo Wuji expended 135 Tier 5 god herbs and hundreds of Tier 4 and Tier 3 ones. However, he wasn¡¯t able to concoct a single Tier 5 god pill. Every time the pill was about to take shape, the dao energy within them would suddenly disperse and the pill would shatter. Even though Mo Wuji put in his full effort into every batch of pills, he would find that there were various kinds of reasons why each batch failed. He was still unable to concoct a single Tier 5 god pill. Now that he had spent two-thirds of his Tier 5 god herbs, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t continue concocting pills. Firstly, he didn¡¯t have plenty of Tier 5 god herbs left. Secondly, he felt that the reason why he couldn¡¯t concoct Tier 5 god pills wasn¡¯t simply due to his cultivation. There was an even more important reason, which was the grade of his fire was too low. His Scholar¡¯s Heart was at the pinnacle of Immortal Flames, but it still hadn¡¯t evolved to become a God Flame. By the time Mo Wuji came out of his sealed room, a person from High Firmament God Sect had come to fetch him. The person that came wasn¡¯t Chi Kun, but a cultivator at the intermediate God Monarch Stage called Zhong Jing. He was a man of few words. Although his cultivation was vastly superior to Mo Wuji, he was still relatively polite towards Mo Wuji. After saying some sentences to Shuai Guo and Chi Chuan, Mo Wuji followed Zhong Jing to High Firmament God Sect. High Firmament City was a cultivation city built in the peripheries of High Firmament God Sect. Thus, they didn¡¯t even need two hours to reach High Firmament God Sect. Originally, Mo Wuji wanted to ask Zhong Jing about the treasures which could be used to evolve Immortal Flames, but looking at Zhong Jing¡¯s taciturn appearance, Mo Wuji decided against it. He didn¡¯t know whether it was because he wasn¡¯t a disciple of High Firmament God Sect, but the location for his lesson was at the hall furthest from the core of the sect. This hall was generally used to impart skills to the outer sect disciples. But now, it was temporarily used for Mo Wuji¡¯s lesson. Because Mo Wuji came out of his seclusion relatively late, by the time he and Zhong Jing arrived, the hall was already filled with people. Mo Wuji casually swept his gaze and counted that there were at least 100 people. From the looks of it, High Firmament God Sect was casting a wide net before ultimately deciding who they would pick for the assessment. All these 100 over people were brimming with spirituality. Although they were all in the Nascent God Stage, their innate talents were clearly top-class. Mo Wuji could also tell that the lowest cultivation here was Nascent God Level 7. Most of them were in Nascent God Level 8 or 9, and there were even some that were half a step into the Heavenly God Stage. Mo Wuji was only in Nascent God Level 5 and his spirituality was inapparent. At first glance, he looked like a cultivator with shitty innate talents. But the moment he entered the hall, most of the disciples clasped their fists towards him in respect. Mo Wuji knew that his cultivation should be the lowest here. He also clasped his fists and said, "Various dao friends, as the saying goes: There¡¯s always something which you can from everyone. When it comes to cultivation, everyone is higher than me. But when it comes to growing Green Dew Rice, then I¡¯m better than all of you. Before talking about how to grow good Green Dew Rice, I would like to invite everyone to talk about their understandings towards the Heaven and Earth and god spiritual energy." Mo Wuji was met with pin-drop silence. He knew that this wasn¡¯t out of respect for him or his knowledge towards growing Green Dew Rice. In other words, if Nirvana Learning Academy didn¡¯t include the growing of Green Dew Rice in its assessment, then none of them would have even cared about him. However, Mo Wuji didn¡¯t think that his ability to grow Green Dew Rice was worthless. Just his method of grafting with Five Leaf Grass was definitely something that others wouldn¡¯t easily think of. Five Leaf Grass could allow the Green Dew Rice to grow five rice ears, multiplying yields by several times. Moreover, Mo Wuji believed that the reason why his Green Dew Rice could achieve a balance of the five elements was also due to his Five Leaf Grass. More importantly, Mo Wuji seemed to sense a Great Dao when he was planting Green Dew Rice. Although he had yet to fully understand this Great Dao, he believed that he would definitely do so eventually. Thus, his abilities to grow Green Dew Rice definitely couldn¡¯t be imparted to 100 over people at one go. Just as Mo Wuji was thinking of ways to reduce the class size to 20 people, a disciple stood up. He clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "Rice Teacher Mo, this disciple is Unyielding Grace Mountain¡¯s legacy disciple, Chang Haoji. I wish to provide a suggestion, I hope that Rice Teacher Mo could oblige." Even though his words were phrased politely, Mo Wuji only heard disrespect. In God Continent, there was no such address as ¡®Rice Teacher¡¯. There was only a ¡®Rice Farmer¡¯. Usually, disciples would address the experts that impart knowledge to them as ¡®Teacher¡¯. Thus, the correct way Chang Haoji should have addressed Mo Wuji was ¡®Teacher Mo¡¯ and not ¡®Rice Teacher Mo¡¯. On the surface, it looked like Chang Haoji was showing respect towards Mo Wuji, but in reality, he didn¡¯t look up to a person that could grow rice. The only reason why he came here to learn was because he needed to handle Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s assessment. "Teacher Mo, this person is a genius junior of High Firmament City¡¯s Chang Clan. Chang Clan¡¯s status is roughly the same as the Ao Clan¡­" A voice suddenly transmitted beside Mo Wuji¡¯s ear. Even though this voice disappeared swiftly, Mo Wuji could see that the person that transmitted this message was a youth with an average build. He was also in Nascent God Level 9. Mo Wuji understood why this person wanted to transmit the message to him. This person was worried that he would offend Chang Haoji and be unable to live on in High Firmament City. "Say it then." Mo Wuji said indifferently. This transmitted message actually reminded him of something. Later, he definitely needed to ask whether there were any disciples from the Ao Clan here. If there was, he would definitely kick them out. "Rice Teacher Mo, we came here to learn how to grow Green Dew Rice for the upcoming Nirvana Learning Academy¡¯s assessment. Rice Teacher Mo should also know, Nirvana Learning Academy wouldn¡¯t only be assessing on growing Green Dew Rice, but also the Array Dao, Talisman Dao, Pill Dao¡­" Chang Haoji¡¯s speech was extremely fast. He almost said all that in a single breath. Mo Wuji interrupted Chang Haoji¡¯s words and said indifferently, "So?" Chang Haoji could tell that Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t very happy. He directly said, "My idea is, why doesn¡¯t Rice Teacher Mo use half a day to teach his method of growing Green Dew Rice. Then if there¡¯s anything that we don¡¯t know, we can individually consult Rice Teacher Mo. That way, we can save some time to go and revise on the other Daos. After all, growing Green Dew Rice doesn¡¯t even any dao laws and is the simplest." Chang Haoji¡¯s meaning was very clear. This was merely growing rice, something that even mortals could do. How could it compare to Pills, Smiths, Talismans and Arrays? Mo Wuji nodded and said warmly, "This suggestion is not bad. This would be able to save your time. As for my time, there¡¯s no need to care about it. Does anyone have the same opinion as Chang Haoji? If you do, please stand forward and let me have a look." Just as Mo Wuji¡¯s words were uttered, at least 40 to 50 people stood up. Clearly, these people thought that Chang Haoji was right. Growing rice, this was something that even mortals could do. There was completely no need to waste so much time on it. "Then are there people that feel that this opinion is wrong, and that growing Green Dew Rice is related to the Laws of the Heaven and Earth? If there are any of you, please stand up as well." Mo Wuji continued. Another 30 over people stood up. Mo Wuji nodded, "Then what about those that didn¡¯t stand. What do you think?" "We came here to learn about Green Dew Rice. So before we learn anything, we don¡¯t know whether Green Dew Rice is related to Laws." A female cultivator replied. "Not bad. Now, I will tell everyone. My method of growing Green Dew Rice is really related to Laws. So those that believe that the two aren¡¯t related, as well as those that didn¡¯t stand up, please leave the hall. You are not suitable to be my students," Mo Wuji said calmly. "What¡¯s the meaning of this?" Chang Haoji¡¯s face turned cold. Following which, a Nascent God Level 9 female cultivator said calmly, "Teacher Mo, I am called Di Jie. We came here to learn. Before you teach us anything, we naturally wouldn¡¯t know that growing Green Dew Rice is related to the Laws. May I ask why Teacher Mo is inviting us out?" Anyone that could sit here was a genius disciple of the sect. Which one of them didn¡¯t have a strong backer? Just because they gave Mo Wuji face, it didn¡¯t mean that they could simply be sent out with a wave of Mo Wuji¡¯s hand. Chapter 971: Conditions For Evolution Chapter 971: Conditions For Evolution Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn¡¯t even bother replying Chang Haoji. He only said to Di Jie, "My time is limited and the number of people I can impart my knowledge to is limited. I will not waste my time on students that don''t have talent in growing Green Dew Rice. Thus, I have to find students that have the greatest talents. In my perspective, the second group of 30 students that stood up were the most talented." "To decide who will leave this hall, I''m afraid Rice Teacher Mo doesn''t have the authority for that matter." Chang Haoji sat down; his tone was laced with disdain. He didn¡¯t behave amicably with Mo Wuji because he treated Mo Wuji as his teacher. Instead, it was because Mo Wuji was a guest invited by the sect to teach them. "Since that''s the case, then I will leave." Mo Wuji turned and left without even saying a second word. He couldn''t even decide how he was going to impart his own knowledge? How could be such a lack of reason? "Pill Master Mo, please hold your steps." A grinning, short man appeared at the entrance. Mo Wuji naturally wasn''t going to leave; he immediately stopped walking. He had long detected a faint spiritual will observing the entire area. Now that he turned to leave, this fella really appeared. The way Mo Wuji looked at it, this short man was a God King expert. "Greetings Elder Ren." When they saw this short man walk into the hall, all the students stood up and bowed respectfully. "Mo Wuji greets Senior." Towards a God King, Mo Wuji also didn''t dare to show disrespect. The short man chuckled and said, "My name is Ren Fei, I''m an elder of High Firmament God Sect. There''s no need for you to be so courteous to me, it''s enough to call me by Dao Friend." After saying that, Ren Fei turned towards the students and said, "Anyone that can sit here is a genius disciple of my High Firmament God Sect. Just now, Dao Friend Mo¡¯s words were right. This is his knowledge and he has the authority to decide who he will impart it to." Even though Chang Haoji was a genius from the Chang Clan, he didn''t dare to utter a single word when facing the scolding of a God King Elder. Fortunately, Elder Ren was solely scolding them. After that bit, he continued, "Master Guang Zhang has just arrived at our High Firmament God Sect. Thus, besides Master Mo, everyone can also choose to learn to grow Green Dew Rice from Master Guang Zhang¡­" What Mo Wuji didn''t expect was that at a single mention of Master Guang Zhang, almost everyone stood up emotionally. Mo Wuji might not know about Master Guang Zhang, but none of these disciples was the same as Mo Wuji. Master Guang Zhang''s fame in Green Dew Rice was not limited to High Firmament God Sect and High Firmament City; he was renowned throughout the entire High God Land. Moreover, Master Guang Zhang was the only rice growing expert that entered Nirvana Learning Academy and voluntarily chose to leave. Master Guang Zhang was also one of the few in the entire God Continent that could grow peak grade Green Dew Rice. "Master Mo, Master Guang Zhang had just arrived at my High Firmament God Sect. We also didn''t know about it beforehand. So¡­" Mo Wuji was a guest that they had specially invited from Low God Land. Previously, they had already gone back on their words with Mo Wuji once. If they did so again, it would be their second time. Even though Ren Fei was a God King, he also felt embarrassed. In Mo Wuji¡¯s heart, he was thinking: No wonder why Ren Fei spoke with such moral character. So this fella didn¡¯t even intend for me to continue teaching these disciples. Even though Mo Wuji revealed an unpleasant expression on his face, he didn''t actually feel uncomfortable. He had never intended to casually share his knowledge. The only unfortunate thing was that he would no longer be able to ask Chi Kun for Tier 5 god herbs. "No problem. Master Guang Zhang''s ability to grow Green Dew Rice is superior to me. Naturally, his teachings would also be better," Mo Wuji said calmly. Chang Haoji¡¯s eyes swept across Mo Wuji disdainfully. If Elder Ren Fei wasn''t here, he might have already pointed to Mo Wuji and humiliated Mo Wuji publicly. "Elder Ren, Disciple Qu Chendan wishes to continue to learn under Teacher Mo. Is that possible?" A voice suddenly broke the silence, attracting the eyes of everyone. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to know that this was the same cultivator that transmitted a message to him. Ren Fei was slightly shocked. Master Guang Zhang was going to personally impart his knowledge of Green Dew Rice but there was still a person willing to learn under Mo Wuji? Ren Fei instantly reacted and said smilingly, "Of course you can. Anyone else that wishes to learn from Master Mo can feel free to do so." "This disciple is also willing to learn from Teacher Mo." Another person walked forward. Mo Wuji also recognised this person; it was Di Jie who he had previously rejected. "Pill Master Mo, what are your thoughts?" Ren Fei looked towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "Of course they can. But they need to come to my shop for the lesson." "Disciple is willing." Qu Chendan and Di Jie both bowed and said. Surrounded by looks of confusion, Qu Chendan and Di Jie followed Mo Wuji and left High Firmament God Sect towards High Firmament City. Even if Mo Wuji wanted to continue his lesson here, it would not be possible. With only two disciples willing to follow him, the sect wouldn''t provide him with a hall for his lesson. ¡­ When they returned to the shop, Mo Wuji brought Qu Chendan and Di Jie to the second floor, set down seals and asked, "Why didn''t the two of you choose to learn from Master Guang Zhang? Instead, you chose to follow a farmer that''s only in the Nascent God Stage?" Qu Chendan said respectfully, "Teacher Mo, I have always thought that growing Green Dew Rice was related to the Laws. Thus, when Teacher Mo said that, I decided to learn under Teacher Mo." "What about you?" Mo Wuji turned to Di Jie. Di Jie hurriedly said, "Because I have seen the Green Dew Rice grown by Pill Master Mo, it''s definitely not inferior to Master Guang Zhang. Master Guang Zhang has to teach more than 100 students by himself. I''m afraid that he wouldn''t be able to personally tutor every single person." Mo Wuji was slightly speechless. This Di Jie was really very pragmatic. She probably thought that he wasn''t comparable to Master Guang Zhang. It was just that he had fewer students, so he would be able to teach her better. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I''m afraid I don''t have that much time to teach the two of you how to grow Green Dew Rice. I''m a pill refiner and I would rather spend my time learning to concoct pills¡­ Oh right, do the two of you know where I can find a treasure to evolve an immortal flame?" Di Jie and Qu Chendan shot glances towards each other. They hadn''t even learnt anything from Mo Wuji, but Mo Wuji was the one that asked them a question. "Four days later, Dew Drop God City will be hosting an auction. It''s rumoured that there will be a primal fire crystal being sold during that auction. The primal fire crystal is one of the best treasures used to evolve an immortal flame," Qu Chendan said. Mo Wuji asked in astonishment, "Primal fire crystals could be used to evolve an immortal flame to a god flame? Who said that?" He had 11 pieces of primal fire crystals on him. However, his primal fire crystal only evolved his Scholar¡¯s Heart to a Grade 9 immortal flame before it lost its effectiveness. This time, it was Qu Chendan¡¯s turn to be confused. He even suspected that his words were wrong. But if even a primal fire crystal couldn¡¯t evolve an immortal flame, then what could? Mo Wuji didn¡¯t understand what¡¯s going on. Could it be that there were some secondary things he needed to do to supplement his primal fire crystal in order to evolve his immortal flame? But he had never heard of such things. "Teacher Mo, he is correct. Primal fire crystals are extremely rare treasures. They can definitely allow an immortal flame to evolve to a god flame," Di Jie said by the side. Mo Wuji came to a sudden realisation. The reason why his Scholar¡¯s Heart couldn¡¯t evolve to become a god flame wasn¡¯t because of a deficiency in his primal fire crystal, nor because he needed to do some secondary things. Instead, it was because he was in Cosmos Edge back then. There, the restrains of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth wouldn¡¯t have allowed his Scholar¡¯s Heart to evolve into a god flame. Thus, even though his primal fire crystal had the power to evolve his Scholar¡¯s Heart, it was restricted by the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. If he tried now, he should be able to succeed. "Many thanks to the two of you. Indeed, there¡¯s something that you can learn from everybody. Now, let me impart to you my method of growing Green Dew Rice. Before I do this, I need the two of you to swear that with without my permission, you will not spread what I will be teaching you." As Mo Wuji got to his final sentence, his tone became extremely serious. Di Jie and Qu Chendan didn¡¯t hesitate to swear that they would not reveal Mo Wuji¡¯s imparted knowledge. In reality, this oath didn¡¯t even place much pressure on them because they had no intentions of sharing this knowledge in the first place. "Alright." Mo Wuji didn¡¯t dally around. After that simple word of acknowledgement, he started, "My method of growing Green Dew Rice is self-created. This method is called grafting and transplanting." Hearing Mo Wuji say that his method was self-created, Di Jie and Qu Chendan were instantly spirited. This was exactly what they wanted to hear. Methods about adding a particular liquid which could be easily circulated on the street were the most worthless methods. Mo Wuji brought out a Five Leaf Grass and said, "This is a Five Leaf Grass. My method is to first cut a Green Dew Rice sprout in half, then graft it onto a Five Leaf Grass. Each Five Leaf Grass could graft five Green Dew Rice. Thus, my yield of Green Dew Rice is five times that of other people¡­" "What?" Mo Wuji¡¯s words left Di Jie and Qu Chendan standing in shock. Ever since Mo Wuji started teaching, each sentence was astonishing. Mo Wuji gestured for the two to sit down, then he continued, "After each Green Dew Rice sprout is cut in half, there will be a rice bud. Peel this bud in half. Each leaf of the Five Leaf Grass will also have a bud. When you¡¯re grafting, you need to peel each bud of each leaf of the Five Leaf Grass in half. This half of the Five Leaf Grass¡¯s bud will be joined with the half of the bud from the Green Dew Rice. That is the first step." Although Qu Chendan and Di Jie were Nascent God cultivators, this was their first time hearing about grafting; they listened as though they were intoxicated with Mo Wuji¡¯s words. Mo Wuji paused momentarily before continuing, "As for transplanting, you can use a five-element-type array disc. When you¡¯re transplanting, you will need to use your own instincts. If you feel that the Green Dew Rice is lacking in a particular element, then transplant the rice to the appropriate array disc." Qu Chendan and Di Jie definitely couldn¡¯t be like here and sense the exact element that each Green Dew Rice was deficient in. Thus, Mo Wuji could only ask them to use their instincts. If they tried many times, they would be able to get one right, wouldn¡¯t they? If they could strike one out of the five, then they would be able to grow top grade Green Dew Rice at the usual production rate. Chapter 972: Flame Evolution Chapter 972: Flame Evolution Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Qu Chendan and Di Jie were leaving, they were still in disbelief. According to Mo Wuji''s words, they could easily grow top grade Green Dew Rice. If top grade Green Dew Rice could be grown so easily, then it wouldn''t be so valuable. However, they still held great expectations that Mo Wuji''s words were true. Thus, after Mo Wuji finished teaching, the two hurriedly bade their farewells as they rushed back to try it out. Mo Wuji''s gains were not small too. After sending Qu Chendan and Di Jie off, he immediately left Shuai Guo and Chi Chuan some instructions, then left High Firmament City. To Mo Wuji, what he needed to do most urgently was to evolve his Scholar''s Heart. However, High Firmament City wasn''t the same as Cosmos Edge; in High Firmament City, he wasn''t the same overbearing Sect Head Mo. With his current power, he completely didn''t dare to bring out his primal fire crystal in High Firmament City to evolve his Scholar''s Heart. Even if he had placed seals, he wouldn''t dare to do so. If the energy of a primal treasure ever gets revealed, people would definitely rush over in swarms. Mo Wuji knew that his power was extremely low. Back in God Domain, it was because he had been pressured with no means of retreat that he had to traverse the Nirvana Ocean of Extinction to get to God Continent. Now that he had just arrived in God Continent, he did not hope to be forced into such a situation again. At the same time, Mo Wuji also wanted to make a trip to Dew Drop God City. According to what Qu Chendan said, there will be an auction held in Dew Drop God City in a few days. Not only would there be a primal fire crystal, there would also be a Rootless God Steel. The Rootless God Steel was a Houtian material, but the value of some Xiantian materials might not even compare to it. The reason was that the Rootless God Steel was a material that had no elemental affinity. Even a person that had no experience with forging equipment could forge a magic treasure with such a material. The most important point was that after being forged into a magic treasure, the Rootless God Steel would evolve on its own. When it reaches its final state, it definitely wouldn''t be weaker than a Xiantian treasure. This point was similar to Mo Wuji''s Medicinal Cauldron Stone; it was just that the Medicinal Cauldron Stone was a Xiantian treasure. But just this point alone makes the Rootless God Steel far more valuable. If your abilities were lacking, you wouldn''t dare to use a Xiantian treasure even if you obtained one. However, this wasn''t the same for the Rootless God Steel; after it becomes your magic treasure, it would have the aura of an ordinary magic treasure. No one could see through it. Among the top five Houtian treasures in God World, the Rootless God Steel was ranked third. The other four materials were: World Stone, Void Waterseal, Ferry Bamboo, and Thoughtless Gold. Ever since he was in God Domain, Mo Wuji''s magic treasure had been that ugly halberd which is forged for himself. His Half Moon Weighted Halberd was no longer able to make the mark. When the differences in cultivation levels weren''t very big, the disparity between magic treasures would decide between victory and defeat. Thus, Mo Wuji intended to purchase this Rootless God Steel. That way, he would have something that he could protect himself with. There wasn''t a transfer array between Dew Drop God City and High Firmament God City, and the distance between the two cities was two days worth of travel. According to what Qu Chendan said, the auction will be held four days later. Thus, this was enough for Mo Wuji. One day later, Mo Wuji appeared beside a vast canyon far from High Firmament City. Within this canyon, Mo Wuji found a nice, spacious area. Thereafter, he prepared layers of arrays and seals. Only then, did he bring out his Scholar''s Heart. The nine sprouts within the Scholar''s Heart were green in colour. Clearly, this Scholar''s Heart was already at the peak of a Grade 9 immortal flame. Mo Wuji then took out a primal fire crystal. This primal fire crystal really deserved its name as a primal treasure. Back when it evolved the Scholar''s Heart to a Grade 9 immortal flame, it didn''t even deplete by a single bit. Indeed, the moment Mo Wuji brought out the primal fire crystal, his Scholar''s Heart began to dance in glee. It directly swept away the crystal from Mo Wuji''s hands. The fire suddenly expanded till it was tens of meters tall. Thereafter, the four fire sprouts within the core of the fire began to merge. Mo Wuji could clearly feel the temperature of his Scholar''s Heart rising. In a short time, the temperature rose to a terrifying degree. Even though it was a fire, Mo Wuji could hear cracking sounds from within the flame. It seemed as though some Laws were being broken while new ones were being formed. One hour later, Scholar''s Heart rapidly receded. A blue, to the point where it looked like it could drip water, flame appeared in Mo Wuji''s hand. Mo Wuji could clearly see three faint lines of gold on his Scholar''s Heart. A familiar feeling swept over. Mo Wuji could feel a terrifying temperature which was more than tens times stronger than an immortal flame. There seemed to be a life within the core of the Scholar''s Heart; Mo Wuji could even feel its life force. Grade 3 god flame. Mo Wuji was extremely contented. Indeed, the primal fire crystal was amazing; his Scholar''s Heart was able to evolve to a Grade 3 god flame just like this. Moreover, this was with his low cultivation. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be impossible for his Scholar''s Heart to evolve to higher grades. It definitely wouldn''t be simple to purchase the primal fire crystal during that auction. With his current abilities, he could only bring out his Golden Nirvana Dao Sand. But as for whether that sand could be used to exchange for the fire crystal, it''s hard to tell. Even if the Golden Nirvana Dao Sand was any more precious, it was a far cry from the primal fire crystal. His only hope was that the Golden Nirvana Dao Sand was something that all God Kings desired greatly; a treasure that could provide God Kings with a chance of stepping into the Unity God Stage. This time, evolving his Scholar''s Heart into a god flame did manage to deplete the primal fire crystal. However, this depletion was limited. Clearly, even a god flame wouldn''t use too much of his primal fire crystal. The evolution of his Scholar''s Heart took an hour. Whether anyone noticed the aura of the primal fire crystal or not, he was definitely going to leave this place as soon as possible. With his fastest speed, Mo Wuji kept his array flags. Thereafter, he activated his Wind Escape Technique and disappeared without a trace. In just half an incense''s time after Mo Wuji left, a gold-robed man landed at where Mo Wuji just was. He looked at the empty space, then he suddenly bent down and observed the sand. He muttered to himself, "It''s indeed a primal fire crystal." Just as he said this, his face changed and he instantly disappeared. Thereafter, another two shadows landed on that spot. These two stayed for an even shorter period of time before they left swiftly in the same direction as the gold-robed man. ¡­ At this instant, Mo Wuji was already in Dew Drop God City. Since he entered High Firmament City, he never revealed his true appearance. Even when he was teaching Qu Chendan Di Jie, he was in the disguise of a yellow-faced cultivator. Now that he was in Dew Drop God City, he changed his appearance to that of a middle-aged rogue cultivator. The intermediate grade mask that Qu You gave him had been extremely useful. Dew Drop God City was livelier than High Firmament City. Even though it didn''t have the same grandeur as High Firmament City, Mo Wuji could tell that Dew Drop God City had far deeper roots than High Firmament City. There were even some signs for Tier 5 god pills outside some shophouses. Mo Wuji could even occasionally see shops selling high-grade god equipment. In God Continent, even God Kings could only use high-grade god equipment. Mo Wuji soon found the venue of the auction that Qu Chendan mentioned. This auction was organised by Dew Drop God City itself. Thus, huge advertisement arrays were installed everywhere. According to the introductions on the advertisements, this auction will be the biggest auction in Dew Drop God City since the last hundred years. The purpose of the auction was also written clearly. It was in preparation for the upcoming assessment by Nirvana Learning Academy. A ticket to enter the main hall required 5,000 high-grade god crystals. As for personal boxes, the prices were definitely, they would definitely cost much more. Even if Mo Wuji had enough god crystals, he still wouldn''t be able to get one. This caused Mo Wuji to lament inwardly. Just from the entrance tickets alone, this auction was going to earn a huge fortune. Mo Wuji was afraid that if he was too late, he wouldn''t even be able to get a ticket to the main hall, so he hurriedly purchased a ticket. The ticket number was already approaching 10,000. His seat was the 132 seat of the 87th row. With one day left to the auction, Mo Wuji didn''t search for inns but headed to the biggest herb shop in Dew Drop City, Dan Qian Merchant House Mo Wuji was not a complete stranger to God Continent. Moreover, he had also heard Chi Kun say it before, Dew Drop City''s Dan Qian Merchant House had a huge supply of god herbs. When Mo Wuji stepped into Dan Qian Merchant House, he found that while the shop was huge, it was brimming with people. There were at least one to two thousand people squeezed in the first floor. From Mo Wuji''s observation, most of these cultivators were here to sell their god herbs. There did not seem to be any others like him that were here to purchase god herbs. Most of those selling herbs were selling those that were in Tier 4 and below. He rarely saw Tier 5 god herbs, and even if he did, he only saw one or two. Without a salesperson to guide him, Mo Wuji could only squeeze in and ask, "I would like to purchase large amounts of high tiered god herbs, may I ask whether there''s a deacon around?" Perhaps Mo Wuji''s words attracted the attention of the people inside, a cleanshaven man greeted him with a smile, "May I ask which pill house are you from?" "I''m here to represent my clan. I will need large amounts of god herbs," Mo Wuji smiled and said. Typically, those that came to purchase large amounts of god herbs were either sent here by pill houses or pill refiners. Hearing that Mo Wuji was sent by a family clan, this man said with a wider smile on his face, "I''m Deacon Gong Kai of Dan Qian Merchant House. May I invite Dao Friend to the second floor." Dan Qian Merchant House''s first floor was messy and squeezy, but the second floor was extremely clean. Mo Wuji only saw few other cultivators and they were all led along by the sales attendants of the shop. These cultivators should also be like him. Under the guidance of Gong Kai, Mo Wuji was led to a quiet room. Just as the two sat down, a female cultivator came over and served two steaming hot cups of tea. "Dao Friend requires which god herbs?" Gong Kai didn''t ask which clan Mo Wuji was from. With his experience, he only needed a single glance to tell that Mo Wuji wasn''t representing a clan. But this didn''t mean that he wasn''t to do this business. Usually, such shady business earned the most money and there was even the likelihood of obtaining a rare treasure. "I need Tier 5 god herbs, the more the better," Mo Wuji went straight to the point. Chapter 973: A Merchant House Tries To Scam Its Customer Chapter 973: A Merchant House Tries To Scam Its Customer Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Gong Kai didn''t respond to Mo Wuji''s words; he only stared at Mo Wuji with wide eyes. Tier 5 god herbs and the more the better? Did you think that Tier 5 god herbs were some vegetables you could find in the market? After a while, Gong Kai finally composed himself and said, "This Dao Friend, do you know the price of a Tier 5 god herb?" Drops of sweat began to form on Mo Wuji''s head; he really didn''t know the price of a Tier 5 god herb. A hint of disappointment appeared in Gong Kai''s eyes. This guy, really! Even though he started to view Mo Wuji with contempt, he still explained, "Even the worst Tier 5 god herb is priced at around 10,000 high-grade god crystals. If it''s an average Tier 5 god herb, then its price would go up to 30,000. The best kinds of Tier 5 god herbs, such as the Clear Jade God Flower, could fetch up to millions of god crystals in auctions." As he heard this, Mo Wuji suddenly felt some slight regret. He should have taken that Clear Jade God Flower from Chi Chuan. With that one god herb, he could definitely buy a whole pile of god herbs. Immediately, Mo Wuji thought of that Chi Bing. That woman sure was rich, to actually own around 200 Tier 5 god herbs, including the extremely rare Clear Jade God Flower. Exactly how many dangers did this woman have to go through in order to obtain so many god herbs? However, after further thought, Mo Wuji felt that this was normal. If this woman didn''t like to take risks, she definitely wouldn''t have gone to the Nirvana Ocean and eventually cripple her spirit channels. Those that walk along a river could not avoid getting their feet wet. Mo Wuji could also guess that Chi Bing''s power would definitely be startling; she definitely wouldn''t fear those in the same cultivation stage. Only a person who was always ready to risk her life could have the power to dominate those in the same level. This was the same for him; he could insta-kill those in his same cultivation stage. Besides the all-encompassing nature of his Mortal Dao, this was also due to his constant struggles along the borderline of death. When he obtained his Wheel of Life and Death, he had almost been killed. When he obtained his Seven World Finger, he had been plotted against. As for his Wind Escape Technique and his Four Halberd Strikes, which one of them wasn''t earned while at the borderline of life and death? In the cultivation world, how many people would get hunted by tens of sects and clans? How many would face the encirclement of Grand Emperors while in the Grand Yi Immortal Stage? And how many would be surrounded by tens of Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods while only in the Nascent God Stage, and even incur the wrath of a God King? He had experienced all these before, and he had bashed through them. Thus, he could dominate those in the same cultivation level and even surpass stages to fight more powerful opponents. No matter how strong a dao art was, if left in a nice, warm bed, it would lose its sharpness and might. If he could do things over, he would not hesitate to offend those experts once again. No experts are created while sitting secluded in a room. Every time he was hunted down, every time he walked on the edge of death, his willpower and experienced were strengthened. "I don''t need the best ones. I don''t have that many god crystals but I have one of this. How many god crystals do you think this is worth?" As Mo Wuji said that, he retrieved a Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. He had four Purple Nirvana Dao Sand and one Gold one. The rest were either grey, orange, or green. Mo Wuji believed that the God Nirvana Dao Sand was something amazing. Even in God King Green Robes''s records, there was no mention of the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand; there were only records of the four other colours. According to the introductions, the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand could allow World Gods to gain insights into the God King Stage. Thus, it was likely that the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand could help God Kings perceive the Unity God Stage. "Purple Nirvana Dao Sand?" Gong Kai was so excited that he reached forward and tried to grab Mo Wuji''s Nirvana Dao Sand. It was just that he did not manage to touch the Dao Sand before Mo Wuji moved his hand away. A hint of embarrassment appeared in Gong Kai''s eyes as he said, "Sorry about that. It''s because the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand is too rare, which resulted in my inappropriate actions." Mo Wuji smiled faintly but he didn''t respond to Gong Kai''s words. Gong Kai was the deacon of a merchant house. Without Mo Wuji''s permission, Gong Kai actually wanted to touch his item. This was indeed inappropriate. "Deacon Gong, what do you think this Nirvana Dao Sand is worth?" Mo Wuji asked. Gong Kai contemplated momentarily, "How about this, I can give you 40 Tier 5 god herbs for it?" Mo Wuji snickered, then he directly kept the Nirvana Dao Sand and stood up, "Since that''s the case, I will take my leave." "This Dao Friend, why are you leaving so suddenly?" Gong Kai was slightly flustered. The Purple Nirvana Dao Sand was more valuable in God Continent than in God Domain. God Continent had discovered the uses of the Nirvana Dao Sand a long time ago while God Domain had only just learnt about this. Over countless years, everyone would search for the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand whenever the Clear Ocean Path appeared. After so many years, how many Nirvana Dao Sand would be left? "I came here with genuine intentions of purchasing god herbs but you tried to cheat me. I can only choose to bring my trade to some other merchant house," Mo Wuji said in a tone of displeasure. Gong Kai said awkwardly, "How about this, this Dao Friend can offer your own price. As the saying goes: The price asked is as high as the sky while the price offered is as low as the earth." "Dao Friend Gong, if you compare the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand and the Clear Jade God Flower, which one do you think is more valuable?" Mo Wuji stared at Gong Kai and asked. Gong Kai hesitated briefly before saying, "They should be roughly the same." Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. Actually, he personally believed that the value of the Clear Jade God Flower was far higher than his Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. After all, Nirvana Dao Sand was condensed from the dao insights of other people while the Clear Jade God Flower was formed from the natural Laws of the Heaven and Earth. However, he was sure that most people in God Continent would believe that the value of the Nirvana Dao Sand was far above the Clear Jade God Flower. If their values were roughly the same, that Chi Bing definitely wouldn''t have risked her life to enter the Nirvana Ocean in search of the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. The primary reason behind this was because the Clear Jade God Flower would only be useful if made into a God Jade Pill. The God Jade Pill was one of the hardest Tier 5 god pills to concoct; it was a pill that ordinary Tier 5 God Pill Kings couldn''t concoct. In God Continent, how many Tier 5 God Pill Kings were there? Then among this few, how many could concoct the Tier 5 God Jade Pill? Obtaining this sort of flower could be considered a great fortune. But if the pill concoction fails, few would have the same fortune to find a second flower. Mo Wuji didn''t question Gong Kai''s words, he only said calmly, "Then we''ll use the same price then. Just now, Deacon Gong said that a Clear Jade God Flower could be auctioned for millions of high-grade god crystals. I''m not asking for too much, your merchant house only needs to give me 300 Tier 5 god herbs." "That''s not possible, 300 is too much. 250 is the most that I can offer," Gong Kai immediately said. Mo Wuji didn''t bargain, "Alright, 250 then." "Dao Friend sure is straightforward. Please wait a moment." Gong Kai also agreed to Mo Wuji''s words in a straightforward manner. He smiled faintly at Mo Wuji, then turned and left the room. Mo Wuji suddenly had a bad feeling. However, he knew that in this sort merchant house, he would have to follow through with his words if he had agreed with the merchant house''s conditions. This was called a verbal agreement. If he chose to go against it, he would be the one placed at a disadvantage. This was unless he had enough power to oppress the entire merchant house. Mo Wuji didn''t wait for long before Gong Kai returned to the room. He handed a storage bag to Mo Wuji and said, "Dao Friend Mo''s, these are 250 Tier 5 god herbs. Please take a look." When Mo Wuji''s spiritual will landed in the storage bag, his expression immediately turned ugly. Out of the 250 Tier 5 god herbs that Gong Kai gave him, at least 100 of them were the same kind. Moreover, Mo Wuji recognised them, they were called Elemental Corroding God Grass. The Elemental Corroding God Grass was indeed a Tier 5 god herb, but in terms of price, this thing wasn''t even worth a Tier 1 one. This was because this herb could not be used in pills herbs and had only one function - to corrode a cultivator''s god elemental energy. Moreover, it could only do so through direct ingestion. However, no one would be so idiotic as to consume this grass and corrode their own god elemental energy. Gong Kai smiled and said, "The Elemental Corroding God Grass is truly a useful herb. It can even corrode the elemental energy of a God King. During a battle, if you''re able to force your opponent to consume the Elemental Corroding God Grass, it would definitely lower your opponent''s attack capabilities." Mo Wuji''s expression soon returned back to normal. He said indifferently, "Deacon Gong is truly smart. Next time, if Deacon Gong does something like this to me again, I will definitely have Deacon Gong voluntarily eat the Elemental Corroding God Grass before I lay hands on you. What a pity that your esteemed merchant house only has hundred over of the Elemental Corroding God Grass. Otherwise, I might have obtained 250 of them." Before Gong Kai could say anything, Mo Wuji threw the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand to Gong Kai and turned to leave. He could faintly feel several spiritual wills sweeping the area. Perhaps they were waiting for him to act up. Even though Mo Wuji thought that it wasn''t fair to have exchanged his Purple Nirvana Dao Sand for over 100 horrible Tier 5 god herbs, he had to accept it. But he definitely wouldn''t forget what Gong Kai did today. One day, he will definitely return this favour. Also, there was nothing else he could do. Dan Qian Merchant House was probably the only place which could take out so many Tier 5 god herbs at a go. In other words, even if other merchant houses could offer so many herbs, he wouldn''t have dared to go to them. This was because he had no backers nor ties. Even a big merchant house like Dan Qian tried to cheat him. Others might do worse things. In fact, even outrightly robbing him might not be impossible. After leaving Dan Qian Merchant House, Mo Wuji directly disappeared with the wind. Then, he disguised as an old man and entered a small inn. The greatest advantage of his Wind Escape Technique wasn''t it''s speed, but the fact that it was soundless and traceless. ¡­ A night passed by quietly. On the morning of the second day, Mo Wuji headed to the auction venue. The 87th row was actually considered near the front and the 132nd seat was also a corner seat. Mo Wuji didn''t mind this, anything was fine as long as he could do his transactions. At the same time, he knew that his chances of trading his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand for the Rootless God Steel weren''t very high. A much clearer trade was one between the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand and the Clear Jade God Flower. And even tens of Clear Jade God Flowers could not compare to the Rootless God Steel. The moment he reached his seat, Mo Wuji released the seals around it. Even though it was a seat in the main hall, it was quite spacious. In front of him, there was a bidding screen and a product display screen. There was even a small transfer array disc. The auction venue was round. Like many other auctions, the auction table was right at the centre. Mo Wuji waited for roughly an hour before the hall was filled with people. That was when a yellow-robed man stepped onto the auction stage at the centre. The yellow-robed man clasped his fists towards the crowd and said, "All guests, please take a seat. The auction will begin shortly. Before the auction ends, no one is allowed to leave the auction site. Anyone that bids maliciously or is unable to follow through with a transaction will be killed without mercy. This auction will be hosted by Dew Drop Merchant Union''s Deacon Ni Zijian. The auction will now begin." Chapter 974: Chance Water Chapter 974: Chance Water Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Mo Wuji heard the name Ni Zijian, he thought that it would be a man. However, after the yellow-robed man left the stage, Mo Wuji saw that it was actually a woman walking up the stage. Ni Zijian looked rather pretty, but she somehow exuded a murderous aura and seductive charm. The combination of these factors gave this woman a unique allure. "I am Ni Zijian and I would like to represent Dew Drop Merchant Union to thank all the esteemed guests of our auction. Before we begin the auction, I would also like the wish good luck to all the Dao Friends who will be participating in the upcoming Nirvana Learning Academy assessment, to pass the tests and achieve good results. I''m sure that our esteemed guests also know that this auction is in preparation for the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment which will take place in a year''s time. I hope that our guests will be able to purchase the items that you like. Now, the auction will begin." With that, Ni Zijian waved her hand and a jade box appeared in her hand. She turned the jade box around, then she said, "The first item up for bid is a Tier 1 god fruit. Its name is the Nascent God Fruit. I don''t have to explain much, everyone should be clear about the use of the Nascent God Fruit. According to theory, each fruit can allow a Nascent God cultivator to rise one level in the Nascent God Stage, and one cultivator can only consume two fruits at the very most. Now, I have two Nascent God Fruits in this jade box. The starting bid will be 50,000 high-grade god crystals and each increment must be no lesser than 1,000 god crystals¡­" The moment Ni Zijian''s words came to an end, the sounds of bids came unceasingly. Mo Wuji did know of this god fruit; back when he was in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, he encountered a ripe Nascent God Fruit Tree. It was just that he also faced the encirclement of tens of cultivators from Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect. His little life was on the line at that time, so he couldn''t even care about fighting for the Nascent God Fruits. But the Nascent God Fruit''s price is really high. It could be said that its price was the highest among all Tier 1 god herbs. Most Tier 3 and even some Tier 4 god herbs couldn''t even compare to the price of the Nascent God Fruit. He really wanted to buy these two Nascent God Fruits but he only had a total of 200,000 god crystals on him. Before he even started bidding, the price of these two Nascent God Fruits had already reached 120,000. Soon, someone purchased these two Nascent God Fruits at the price of 170,000 high-grade god crystals. Mo Wuji didn''t bid. With that other fella¡¯s overbearing aura, even if he bid 200,000, that fella would definitely continue bidding. The only thing that his bid would do was offend another person. He was here to purchase the Rootless God Steel, so offending a person was inevitable. However, Mo Wuji didn''t want to offend one more person than he should. When the two Nascent God Fruits were sold for 170,000, Mo Wuji lamented in his heart. The person that could afford these fruits definitely wasn''t the one eating them. "The second item for bid is a Sacred Art. This sacred art is called Rain Arrow. This sacred art''s starting bid if 100,000 high-grade god crystals. Each increment must be no less than 5,000¡­" The moment he heard the name Rain Arrow, Mo Wuji also desired it greatly. For his own Wind Escape Technique, he managed to deduce five different levels of it. Now, he was at the third level, Wind Teleportation, and it had saved his life multiple times. Moreover, the fourth and fifth level, Guiding Wind and Calling Wind, had already transcended the boundaries of an escape art. After knowing about Calling Wind, Mo Wuji really wanted to get a rain-type sacred art. Calling the wind and beckoning the rain was a sacred art that he really wanted. Unfortunately, the rain-type or water-type sacred arts that he purchased previously had never been able to allow him to deduce a sacred art on the likes of Beckoning Rain. Now that a rain type sacred art had appeared in God World, it might actually be a sacred art that could help him truly beckon for rain. However, this idea only fleeted momentarily in Mo Wuji''s mind before it disappeared rapidly. This was because the price of Rain Arrow had already exceeded 200,000 and it was still rising. In the end, this sacred art was purchased at 270,000 god crystals. The embarrassingly short of money Mo Wuji could only continue be an onlooker. The third item was a quasi-high-grade flying god equipment. Mo Wuji wanted to buy it but he couldn''t afford it. The fourth item for sale was a lightning type sacred art. Mo Wuji also wanted to buy it but he also couldn''t afford it. ¡­ Towards the end, Mo Wuji directly decided to close his eyes. There were truly many good things in this auction. Out of 10 things, he wanted 7 of them. Who asked him to be so poor? He couldn''t even afford to buy any of them. The only things he could afford were pills but he had no need for them. 20 hours passed. Mo Wuji started to worry that the Rootless God Steel would be placed as the climax. At that moment, Ni Zijian¡¯s words got him excited once more because he heard the words: "A drop of Chance Water". Chance Water wasn¡¯t Waterseal, nor was it as valuable as Waterseal. After all, the Void Water Seal was one of the top 5 Houtian materials in God World; it was something that could be compared with the Rootless God Steel. On the other hand, Chance Water was only an extremely rare treasure. In terms of price, it was roughly the same as a sacred art. The reason why Chance Water was so rare was because it originates from in between two worlds. Chance Water is formed when rootless water in between two worlds fuse with one another. This rootless water does not refer to rainwater; rainwater comes from clouds, so it¡¯s considered a water with roots. Rootless water, in the words of cultivators, is water that suddenly condenses when the water-type Laws interact. Before this water hits the ground, it is called rootless water. One can only imagine how rare such a thing is. Usually, the space between two worlds is a void where the Laws were chaotic. Where would rootless water come from? Even if a drop of rootless water forms, it would either fall on a rock, evaporate, or get collected away. There¡¯s less need to talk about rootless water from two worlds forming simultaneously, then fusing with one another. Chance Water could only be formed by chance. In the space where two worlds intersect, spatial tears suddenly appear and drops of rootless water simultaneously come through the spatial tears and fuse. That¡¯s how Chance Water could be formed. Thus, Chance Water wasn¡¯t very expensive, but it¡¯s extremely rare. The only use for Chance Water was to imbue it during forging. This would create a magic treasure which contains its own sacred art. This sacred art could be used by the wielder of the magic treasure. The reason why Mo Wuji wanted this was because he intended to use the Rootless God Steel to forge a halberd. If his halberd could come with an innate sacred art, then his power would rise to another level. "The price of this Chance Water is 80,000 high-grade god crystals. Each increment must be no less than 5,000." Ni Zijian¡¯s voice descended. A thing like Chance Water was something that anyone could use. However, the reason why its price wasn¡¯t as high as Rain Arrow was because the sacred art which forms usually wasn¡¯t very strong. Sometimes, the sacred art was extremely bad. Also, there were incidences where if the forging process wasn¡¯t done well, there might not be a sacred art at all. That would be wasting the money spent on the Chance Water. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to increase the price by 20,000 as he tried to bid 100,000 high-grade god crystals. Before Mo Wuji¡¯s bid could even appear on the screen, the price refreshed and changed to 120,000 high-grade god crystals. From the looks of it, he wasn¡¯t the only one fighting for the Chance Water. Mo Wuji was slightly nervous, as he directly inputted a bid of 180,000. Perhaps the jump from 120,000 to 180,000 was quite huge, the price of the Chance Water actually stuck at 180,000 for some time. Ni Zijian waited for three breaths but no one continued bidding. She started to shout, "180,000 going once, 180,000¡­ Someone has bid a higher price. The price of the Chance Water is already 200,000 high-grade god crystals. Are there any other dao friends that want to continue bidding?" Mo Wuji wasn¡¯t as excited as he was in the beginning; he had already regained his calm by the time Ni Zijian finished speaking. He barely had 200,000 high-grade god crystals, but the price on the screen was already 200,000. "210,000 high-grade god crystals!" The price refreshed once more. He could give up on the Nascent God Fruit, he could give up on the flying treasure, and he could also give up on the rain-type sacred art. However, he definitely wouldn¡¯t give up on this Chance Water. Mo Wuji¡¯s spiritual will swept across his Undying World. Soon, he brought out a Transformation Dao Fruit and placed it on the item bid screen. Thereafter, he placed a bid of 80,000 high-grade god crystals and a Transformation Dao Fruit. The Transformation Dao Fruit was a Dao Fruit which did not have a tier. But of course, according to the definition from God Continent, the Transformation Dao Fruit could only be considered a unique False Dao Fruit. This was because it only had one use and it couldn¡¯t be compared to the true Dao Fruit in God Continent. However, the use of a Transformation Dao Fruit was anything but false. This Dao Fruit could perfect the transformation of a demon. The Dao has different routes but leads to the same destination. One of this route was that any form of life that cultivates the Dao would eventually cultivate the shape of a human. This was because the human form was the most appropriate form to attune with the Dao of the Heaven and Earth. Many demons did not achieve a perfect transformation in their pursuit of the Dao, causing them to face a bottleneck in their Dao Path. There were also some demons that could never transform and attain the human form no matter how high their cultivations were. Except for those demons that couldn¡¯t achieve the human form due to the restrains of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, the Transformation Dao Fruit could help a demon achieve a perfect transformation. Because Mo Wuji didn¡¯t fully understand the price of a Transformation Dao Fruit, he added 80,000 high-grade god crystals as well. If this bid didn¡¯t work, then he would have to try bidding his Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow. No matter what, he was going to purchase this Chance Water. Moreover, he had a faint feeling that this Chance Water was going to be of great use to him. Mo Wuji¡¯s bid soon appeared on the screen. A snow-white image of the Transformation Dao Fruit also appeared on the screen. The bid on the screen soon stopped. At the same time, Ni Zijian was momentarily stunned. The Transformation Dao Fruit was easier to obtain than the Chance Water, but its price was definitely not lower than Chance Water. This was because there were far too many people that wish to purchase the Transformation Dao Fruit in God Continent. Ni Zijian was only stunned for a short moment. Her face soon revealed a smile as she said, "My Dew Drop Merchant Union will accept this bid. Dao Friend No. 8732 obtains this drop of Chance Water." Mo Wuji immediately placed his 80,000 high-grade god crystals and Transformation Dao Fruit onto the transfer array disc; he guessed that he had overbid. But there was no helping this because he didn¡¯t know the exact price of a Transformation Dao Fruit. After Mo Wuji sent his things over, a drop of Chance Water instantly appeared in front of him. Mo Wuji did not even examine the Chance Water as he immediately threw the Chance Water into his storage ring. After he leaves this auction venue, he would place the Chance Water in his Undying World at the first possible chance. "This Dao Friend, if you have any more Transformation Dao Fruit, my Dan Qian Merchant House is willing to purchase it at a high price." A voice suddenly transmitted to Mo Wuji¡¯s ears. Mo Wuji didn¡¯t respond at all. He simply treated those words as farts. Chapter 975: Rootless God Steel And Gold Nirvana Dao Sand Chapter 975: Rootless God Steel And Gold Nirvana Dao Sand Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though the other fella didn''t continue speaking after being met with Mo Wuji''s silence, Mo Wuji knew that he was being watched. However, this was unavoidable. He was an ant sitting in the main hall with insufficient god crystals. It could not be prevented that the items that he would offer to trade would attract attention. If he wanted to be strong, he needed to know when was the right time to act. "The following item is a bucket of herb extract from Tier 5 god herbs. This herb extract has been experimentally proven to have immense benefits to the growth of Green Dew Rice. It provides a high probability of growing top grade Green Dew Rice. The starting bid is 350,000 high-grade god crystals and each increment must be no less than 10,000..." The moment Mo Wuji heard of this god herb extract, he knew that this was a true item required for the Nirvana Learning Academy assessment. He was sure that this bucket of herb extract was sure to be fought for by many people. Indeed, in a short period of time, the price of this herb extract rose to 500,000 thousand. Moreover, this price did not have the slightest intentions of stopping; it still continued to rise. Eventually, this bucket of herb extract was purchased for 1,030,000 god crystals. Since Mo Wuji purchased that drop of Chance Water, he didn''t buy anything else. One reason was that he didn''t have any god crystals. The second was that he had already attracted the attention of others. After waiting for another half a day, Mo Wuji finally heard the words that he wanted to hear the most. Despite hosting the auction for an entire half a day, Ni Zijian''s voice was still loud and clear, "The next item is called the Rootless God Steel. I''m sure that as cultivators from God Continent, none of us wouldn''t know of the Rootless God Steel. Previously, before the God World was separated, the Rootless God Steel was considered one of the top 5 Houtian materials in the entire God World. The Rootless God Steel is definitely no weaker than many Xiantian materials. After the Rootless God Steel is used to forge a magic treasure, this magic treasure can continuously evolve." As Ni Zijian got here, she waved her hand. A black, murky rock that was roughly the 60 centimetres wide landed on the white jade auction table. At almost the same instant this steel rock landed on the table, Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will over. It was as he expected; even though there weren''t any seals on this Rootless God Steel, his spiritual will was still unable to penetrate through it. Waiting for the crowd to finish their observations, Ni Zijian waved her hand and sent this Rootless God Steel into a jade box. She said, "The Rootless God Steel is a treasure that is not inferior to Xiantian treasures. The starting bid is 5,000,000 god crystals, and each increment is 100,000¡­" Mo Wuji inhaled a breath of cold air. This price wasn''t high. It was insanely high. Before the bids even began, the price was already in the millions. What would happen after bidding? "6,000,000 high-grade god crystals!" "6,500,000 god crystals!" "7,000,000¡­" The price on the screen continuously refreshed. Soon, it had already passed 10 million. Mo Wuji went silent, he didn''t know whether his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand was enough to exchange for the Rootless God Steel. If his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand wasn''t enough, then only his Elemental Origin Beads would be enough. However, Mo Wuji wasn''t willing to trade both his Lightning and Darkness Origin Beads. When the price jumped to 12,000,000, it was still rising. Even though it rising at a slower pace, its extent was getting increasingly larger. Mo Wuji directly placed a bid of a Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. Thereafter, he placed his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand on the item bid screen. Learning from his previous lesson with the Transformation Dao Fruit, Mo Wuji added a clause behind his bid; he also needed a large number of Tier 5 god herbs and he needed to agree with that amount. Because Mo Wuji didn''t know the exact price of the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, he didn''t have any way of writing an exact amount of Tier 5 god herbs. It didn''t matter if the auction house ignored this bid. He could continue bidding but with this clause removed. At the next instant, the bid of the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand appeared on the main bidding screen. Mo Wuji was slightly nervous; he didn''t know whether this bid was truly the right move. The instant the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand appeared on the screen, Mo Wuji started to hear murmurs within the crowd. "Gold Nirvana Dao Sand?" "Nirvana Dao Sand can actually be gold?" ¡­ If Mo Wuji''s Transformation Dao Fruit had only left Ni Zijian slightly astonished, then his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand of legend had left her completely stunned. As the deacon of a merchant union, Ni Zijian''s understanding towards the Nirvana Dao Sand was even more profound than God King Green Robes. In her line of work, if she didn''t even know of the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, then she wouldn''t have deserved the right to stand in her current position. She knew better than anyone else about how difficult it was to obtain the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. This was because the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand wouldn''t appear on the Clear Ocean Path. In order words, to obtain the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, one needed to wait for the Clear Ocean Path to disappear before he could find it. Otherwise, the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand couldn''t be found. Just like Ni Zijian, the entire auction site was dumbfounded by Mo Wuji''s Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. Mo Wuji''s Gold Nirvana Sand had completely caught the attention of everyone. The bid of the Rootless God Steel had been 15,000,000 but the bid didn''t continue to rise any further. Originally, with the value of the Rootless God Steel, it definitely wouldn''t stop at 15,000,000 god crystals. The only reason why it stopped was because of Mo Wuji''s Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. Even though the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand had yet to be priced, everyone knew that it would definitely be the number one bid. "This Dao Friend, I''m willing to purchase your Rootless God Steel. I will offer you a high-grade god spiritual vein as well as 10 million high-grade god crystals. I only need your Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, how about that?" A hoarse voice sounded beside Mo Wuji''s ears. The seals within the main hall did not prohibit voice transmissions. Mo Wuji was inwardly very shocked; the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand was actually worth so much? Before Mo Wuji could reply, the price of the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand had been determined. It had jumped to the spot of the number one bid. "That Dao Friend, my Dew Drop Merchant Union does not allow private dealings. This is your first warning. If there''s a second time, you would be invited out of the auction site." A cold and harsh voice transmitted. Thereafter, that hoarse voice no longer appeared. Mo Wuji didn''t mind. Even if the auction house allowed private dealings, he wouldn''t have agreed with that other fella''s deal. When trading with an auction house, he only needed to place his item in a transfer array disc and it would be sent directly to the auction house. Thereafter, his desired item would directly appear in front of him. This was the safest and most dependable method. On the other hand, in a private deal, he would have to meet the other person face-to-face. Even if the other fella offered him a billion god crystals, he wouldn''t have accepted it. With his puny cultivation, what did he have to allow him to trade with other people. He wouldn''t even dare to auction his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. No one in the auction site continued bidding. Now that a Gold Nirvana Dao Sand had appeared, what could they bid? 100 million god crystals? Even if you bid 100 million god crystals, the auction house might not even consider it as first place. The number one spot might likely remain as the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. Ni Zijian eventually regained her calm. Her voice was slightly agitated as she said, "My Dew Drop Merchant Union is willing to use the Rootless God Steel to trade for the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. At the same time, we are willing to offer 700 strands of Tier 5 god herbs. What does this Dao Friend think?" 700 strands of Tier 5 god herbs? Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart. Fortunately, he had added that condition. Otherwise, where else could he get so many Tier 5 god herbs? Moreover, Mo Wuji could tell that if he asked for more, the auction house would oblige him. However, Mo Wuji didn''t increase the price. He changed his voice as he said, "I''m willing. Because this object is relatively valuable, I hope that the auction house will send a person to my location and engage in the trade face-to-face." Seeing that Mo Wuji didn''t ask for an extravagant amount and only asked for a face-to-face trade, Ni Zijian did not hesitate to agree. Moreover, Mo Wuji''s request was very logical. With such an important thing, how could he rest assured without a face-to-face trade? The main hall began to stir with a flurry of discussions. The Gold Nirvana Dao Sand had always been an item of legends. Now, it had actually appeared. If they knew that this auction would have the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, there would probably be many more God King experts taking part in the auction. Not long later, a God Monarch cultivator arrived at Mo Wuji''s location. When he saw that Mo Wuji''s spiritual aura was inapparent, he could immediately tell that Mo Wuji was a cultivator with trashy talents. His professional smile twitched momentarily. How could such a person obtain the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand? Mo Wuji casually formed a voice-inhibiting seal, then he stood up, clasped his fists and transmitted, "Because of my Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, I''m worried that people would try and hunt me down. So, I hope that after this trade, I will be allowed to leave right away while you remain here to replace me. Is that alright?" According to Mo Wuji''s original intentions, he was going to go back to his resthouse after this auction, place a puppet and imbue his aura within it. After which, he would use his fastest Wind Teleportation to leave Dew Drop God City. Now, because the price Gold Nirvana Dao Sand was too astounding, he decided to change his idea and leave straight away. Moreover, he believed that with his Nirvana Dao Sand, the auction house should agree with this request. This God Monarch instantly understood. He also transmitted, "Let me ask." In just a few breaths time, this God Monarch transmitted a message to Mo Wuji, "Yes, we can go along with your request. After this deal, you can leave with my uniform. I will wait here for 2 hours." "Many thanks," Mo Wuji brought out his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. This God Monarch also passed his Rootless God Stell and the 700 Tier 5 god herbs to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji checked through them quickly. Indeed, it was the Rootless God Steel. Moreover, this Dew Drop Merchant Union was truly compassionate when compared to the previous Dan Qian Merchant House. All 700 Tier 5 god herbs were useful ones; there weren''t any useless herbs. After the trade, this God Monarch immediately transferred the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand using the transfer array disc. In another two breaths time, he received a reply. Thereafter, he quickly removed his outerwear and passed it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had originally come here in a disguise. After wearing this God Monarch''s outer coat, he easily changed his appearance then he openly left out the auction house''s side door. The moment he left the auction site, Mo Wuji immediately left with his Wind Escape Technique. He was also afraid of the Dew Drop Merchant Union. Chapter 976: Enlightenment Chapter 976: Enlightenment Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Dew Drop Merchant Union''s auction continued. Within the most luxurious room of Dew Drop Merchant Building, a fair-skinned middle-aged man was sitting with squinted eyes. There were two male cultivators in front of him. One was the God Monarch deacon that conducted the deal with Mo Wuji while the other was a clean-shaven old man with his hands behind his back. "Union Head, that man had already left Dew Drop God City and he is using a peak grade Escape Technique. The moment he left, there weren''t any spatial waves at all. I suspect that this Escape Art is of the Five Elements. It might be the Earth Escape Technique." The one speaking was the God Monarch. The clean-shaven old man also spoke, "I can sense the Rootless God Steel''s location. It''s currently moving at an extremely fast pace." The fair-skinned middle-aged man opened his eyes and laughed faintly, "This fella is not bad. He actually has such a peak-grade escape art. When he arrives at his location, investigate his background before doing anything. "Eh¡­" The old man didn''t say anything else. "What happened?" The middle-aged man that was addressed as the Union Head hurriedly asked. "The imprint on the Rootless God Steel has disappeared. I can no longer sense that person''s location." The old man''s face turned ugly. Even God Kings couldn''t remove his imprint within 1 and a half hour. Now, it was actually removed casually by a random ant. That God Monarch also had a look of astonishment on his face. He bowed as he said, "Union Head, the imprint on my outer coat is staying at one location. I suspect that he has thrown it off. Let me take a look¡­" The Union Head waved his hand, "Forget about it. Since he has already thought of all these, there''s no meaning in going over. This matter only happened by chance, there''s no need to continue focusing on it." "Yes." The old man and God Monarch responded with relief. Dew Drop Merchant Union was still a proper merchant union. They didn''t leave a spiritual imprint on their treasures so that they could chase it back and rob their customers. Instead, it was because they wanted to know where their sold item was going to. Moreover, only the most precious treasures warranted such attention. Mo Wuji''s Rootless God Steel was definitely one of such items. But now that the imprint on the Rootless God Steel had been erased, then Dew Drop Merchant Union definitely wouldn''t investigate and pursue the matter. This was because their actions were wrong to begin with. They could get off the imprint by claiming that it was left behind by the person who auctioned the item. But if they sent their men over to investigate why the imprint disappeared, then it was obvious that they were the ones in the wrong. If Dew Drop Merchant Union did such a thing, they definitely wouldn''t have gotten to where they were today. If a merchant union did such shady things, no matter how they tried to conceal it, their wrongdoings would ultimately be revealed. Even when Dan Qian Merchant House tried to take advantage of Mo Wuji, they didn''t do so openly. They could only make use of a loophole. ... The number of people that had tried to leave imprints on Mo Wuji was too much to even be counted. The same could be said about the number of people that tried to pursue him. Thus, even a God King could forget about trying to track Mo Wuji using a spiritual will imprint. After using his Wind Teleportation three times, Mo Wuji got rid of that deacon''s outer coat and threw all the items he purchased into his Undying World. After using his Wind Escape Technique for another two hours, Mo Wuji entered his Undying World and spent half a day checking the items for any imprints. After verifying that he had got rid of all the imprints, he incinerated his clothes, changed into a set of new ones, then headed back to High Firmament City. Two days later, Mo Wuji safely returned back to Cure-All Clinic. The moment he returned to his clinic, Mo Wuji went to the second floor and started to practise on Tier 5 god herbs. Now that his Scholar''s Heart had evolved into a Grade 3 god flame, concocting Tier 5 god pills had become easier. However, after half a month of continuous practice, Mo Wuji still couldn''t successfully concoct a batch of Tier 5 god pills. Moreover, he had already depleted half of his 1,000 god herbs. Mo Wuji knew that this could not be prevented. This wasn''t due to a problem with his Pill Dao, nor his pill furnace and flame. The main reason was that his cultivation was lacking. He was only in the Nascent God Stage but he was trying to concoct a Tier 5 god pill. Another important reason was that the Laws of the Heaven and Earth over God Continent were weak. In God Continent, it was hard to advance to the God King Stage. Less was needed to be said about a Nascent God trying to concoct a Tier 5 god pill. After depleting so many Tier 5 god herbs, Mo Wuji decided to slow down his pace. His Immortal Mortal Technique had always been suitable for concocting pills and forging equipment. Whatever steps that could be perfected had already been perfected. It was just that there was always a problem when he tried to condense his pill. He was only lacking that little bit. If his cultivation was at the Heavenly God Stage, he might have already succeeded. Mo Wuji changed his practice to concocting only a single batch a day. Every time he tried to concoct a batch, he did not aim for success but only for a glimpse of change. Anyone else, even a first-rate sect, probably wouldn''t do the same as Mo Wuji, to actually dare to spend 1,000 Tier 5 god herbs in a short, few months. Tier 5 God Pill Kings were extremely rare in God Continent. This wasn''t only due to the restrictions of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth which caused great difficulties to reach that level, another reason was that Tier 5 god herbs were also very rare. If Mo Wuji didn''t obtain those 700 Tier 5 god herbs in Dew Drop Merchant Union''s auction by chance, he probably didn''t have a single chance of becoming a Tier 5 God Pill King. "Crack!" The pills within the furnace shattered and a charred odour wafted out. Mo Wuji didn''t clean the furnace but picked up a red pill which held a black impurity. Mo Wuji lifted this red pill right up to his eyes. He didn''t move for a long time. That''s right. This was a Tier 5 Flame Accumulation God Pill. This was the only Tier 5 god pill that he managed to concoct after three months of seclusion. Concocting this Tier 5 god pill didn''t represent anything. However, Mo Wuji knew exactly how this god pill was concocted. When his batch of Flame Accumulation Pills was about to explode, he decided to try his luck with his own Laws. Instead of borrowing the Laws of the Heaven and Earth to condense the pill like before, he decided to use the Dao Laws of his Mortal Dao. The reason why he didn''t try this previously was because he had always thought himself to be a mere Nascent God. On the other hand, the Laws in God Continent were strong enough to foster God Kings and even existences which transcended God Kings. If these Laws weren''t enough to condense the god pill, then there was no need to think about the Dao Laws of his Mortal Dao. He was only at Nascent God Level 5 and his Mortal Dao Laws were still very weak. However, it was exactly because he inserted his Dao Laws into the pill furnace which resulted in this low-grade Tier 5 god pill. A hazy door seemed to appear in front of him once more. Back when he was in Minor High Firmament Sect planting Green Dew Rice, he had caught a faint glimpse of an incredible Dao. Unfortunately, that Dao was too blurred and hazy. No matter how he tried, he couldn''t seem to catch it. Ultimately, he could only choose to wait. Today, he finally saw that door again when he concocted this low-grade Tier 5 Flame Accumulation Pill. Laws. These were his Laws. Mo Wuji continued to stay in a daze with the pill pinched between his fingers. One day, two days¡­ At this moment, Mo Wuji forgot that he was practising pill concoction. He also forgot that he was a shopowner. He only sat there and allowed time to flow; his entire body didn''t move a single inch. A faint dao aura began to revolve around his body, then they started to condense. ¡­ "Big Brother Shuai Guo, how much longer will Big Brother Mo be in seclusion?" After waiting for half a year, things could no longer be endured any further. It wasn''t Chi Chuan who was being impatient but he felt that his sister could no longer endure any longer. Even though he still had that solution brewed with the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand, his sister''s life force continued to gradually dissipate. Perhaps, his sister might leave this world on the very next day. Shuai Guo extended his claw and tapped it against Chi Chuan''s shoulders, "Little Chuan, you must not be too anxious. Let me tell you, sometimes when we enter seclusion, don''t years simply pass by? My Lord has only entered seclusion for half a year. If you''re already anxious because of this, then what would you in the future?" "But my sister¡­" Shuai Guo directly stopped Chi Chuan from speaking, "Rest assured, you have never seen my Lord''s capabilities. I have a little brother called Da Huang. His injuries were far more serious than your sister but my Lord was still able to save him. Hearing Shuai Guo''s words, Chi Chuan calmed down slightly. However, if he knew that the Da Huang that Shuai Guo mentioned used to be an immortal puppet, he might actually fight Shuai Guo there and then. ¡­ Within an unremarkable garden in High Firmament God Sect''s Red Firmament Mountain, a youth was looked at his plot of Green Dew Rice emotionally. He clenched his fists tightly in agitation. His Green Dew Rice could be harvested soon. He had never grown Green Dew Rice before and he didn''t know what to expect. But seeing the faint gold colour on the Green Dew Rice Grass, he knew that these Green Dew Rice were clearly high-grade. During this half a year, he didn''t leave his garden. He sat there and personally witnessed as faint gold runes gradually formed on his Green Dew Rice Grains. If these were really high-grade Green Dew Rice, then he anxiously wanted to tell everyone about that. He wanted to prove that he, Qu Chendan, had not been wrong. He had enough of the way others looked at him with disdain. Back then, Master Guang Zhang came to High Firmament God Sect for seven days and taught the disciples to grow good Green Dew Rice. However, he and Di Jie went to learn from Mo Wuji and Mo Wuji only taught them half a day, no, a single hour. Even Deacon Chi Kun who brought Mo Wuji over could only sigh when he heard this. Even if Mo Wuji''s skill was any stronger, what could he teach in an hour? Right outside Qu Chendan''s garden, there were two deacons ready to assess Qu Chendan''s results. According to the rules set by High Firmament God Sect, only the participating disciples were allowed to be in the Green Dew Rice field. No one else was allowed to enter. Thus, even though they were here to assess Qu Chendan''s results, they could only wait outside. "Time to start." Qu Chendan first arrived at his faint gold Green Dew Rice Grass. He extended his hand and collected all of them. Thereafter, with a shake of his hand, grains of gold-runed Green Dew Rice Grains began to fall into his prepared jade winnow basket. Chapter 977: Re-Understanding The Mortal Dao, Tier 5 God Pill King Chapter 977: Re-Understanding The Mortal Dao, Tier 5 God Pill King Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A brilliant light suddenly radiated out of Mo Wuji''s eyes. He muttered to himself "I understand." He had always thought that as the person who created the Mortal Dao he was the progenitor of the Mortal Dao. However, when it came to concocting pills, forging equipment, or even crafting talismans, he would borrow the Dao Laws of the Heaven and Earth. This was because everyone did this, so he would naturally do the same. Actually, all these were secondary. After all, these things were outside of his body. The most terrifying thing was that after his World Channel created his own world, he actually tried to gather the powers of the Five Elemental Beads to perfect his own Undying World. This was a huge mistake; this was completely inconsistent with his Mortal Dao. The reason why he could create his Undying World was due to his World Channel. After his World Channel formed, what he needed wasn''t to borrow the power of the Five Elemental Beads to perfect his world, but use his own Dao Laws to do it. Even if his Undying World needed the five elements, the wind/lightning/ice elements, and even the light and darkness elements, he would need to personally understand them through his own insights. Using external objects to perfect his world was akin to having the cart before the horse. Mo Wuji subconsciously shuddered. Fortunately, his Undying World hadn''t gathered the Five Elemental Beads. If that happened, his Undying World could no longer achieve its most perfect state. In other words, a world created with the help of the Five Elemental Beads would no longer have any relation to him, Mo Wuji. There might even come a day when his world would depart from him and become another world within this vast universe. The World Channel was his, and the Undying World was formed from his World Channel. Only the Dao Laws of his Mortal Dao could perfect the Laws within his Undying World and allow his Undying World to grow. That way, his Undying World could truly be considered his own world. Mo Wuji exhaled a breath lightly. His enlightenment had come before things got bad. After he settled down, he definitely needed to go into seclusion in his Undying World and extract the Earth, Metal and Water Elemental Beads. Thereafter, he would use his own Mortal Dao Laws to form a Mortal World which belonged to him. It would no longer be the Undying World. Only then, would he have the rights to call himself the progenitor of the Mortal Dao. This dao insight had always been hazy. There were several instances where he managed to grab hold of it but today was the first time he fully understood it. At this moment, Mo Wuji celebrated that he had offended a God King and was chased out of God Domain. Otherwise, he might only know of this mistake when he gathered the Five Elemental Beads. At that time, even reincarnation would not be enough to erase his regrets. Concocting Tier 5 god pills was also the same. Tier 5 god pills were already at the peak of god pills in God Continent. Now that his Undying World had merged with the natural Earth, Water and Metal Elemental Beads, it was clearly incomplete. If he didn''t have his Undying World, concocting pills might have been a little easier. He naturally needed to link with his World Channel when he concocted pills. However, the Undying World formed from his World Channel was not perfect, thus he continuously failed. Mo Wuji slapped the side of his pill furnace, expelling the dregs within the furnace. Thereafter, his Scholar''s Heart ignited and ten Tier 4 and 5 god herbs were thrown into the pill furnace. After practising so many times, Mo Wuji could even concoct pills with his eyes closed. When it comes to refining the medicinal essences, probably no one on the entire God Continent could compare to him. He could refine the medicinal essences to over 99% purity. Fusing the medicinal essences, removing the impurities, sending his Laws in, separating the pills with his spiritual will, imbuing the Laws¡­. One pill technique after another landed in the furnace. Gradually, a faint pill fragrance wafted out. Mo Wuji''s hand techniques continuously entered the furnace, causing this pill fragrance to get increasingly thicker. After an hour, Mo Wuji''s hand opened and a sound of euphoria came from within the furnace. Nine pure red pills were sent into a jade vase. Mo Wuji took a look at the nine pills in contentment. In his first try after his enlightenment, he was able to concoct nine Tier 5 Flame Accumulation Pills. Of which, were five high-grade ones and four intermediate grade ones. There weren''t any low-grade ones. After coming to God Continent for so long, Mo Wuji knew that a full batch of Tier 5 pills wasn''t nine, but six. The reason why he could concoct nine pills was clearly related to his Mortal Dao Laws. The Flame Accumulation God Pill was a pill used by fire type cultivators to aid in their cultivation. According to principle, Mo Wuji''s cultivation was still very low and he couldn''t ingest such a pill. However, Mo Wuji didn''t even care about this. He took out a high-grade Flame Accumulation God Pill and sent it into his mouth. This pill was concocted using his own Mortal Dao Laws. If he couldn''t even control his own Dao, then he deserved to be burnt to death by his Flame Accumulation God Pill. The Flame Accumulation God Pill seared as it entered his mouth. Soon, it transformed into streams of hot energy which entered Mo Wuji''s meridians. There was no need for Mo Wuji to do anything as his 108 meridians automatically went into circulation. Mo Wuji didn''t have spiritual roots, so he could absorb pills of any elemental affinity. Very quickly, he felt his cultivation level rising. The power of his only fire type sacred art, the Domain Smashing Fist, also rose by one level. It was just that he didn''t have any spiritual roots, so element specific pills like this would lose 99% of its efficacy on him. After two hours, Mo Wuji opened his eyes. He was sure that his Flame Accumulation God Pill, albeit only a high grade one, was not inferior to a true unique grade one. He used his ordinary Mortal Dao and fused it with the medicinal essences required for the Flame Accumulation God Pill to form the pill. When this sort of pill entered the mouth, there wouldn''t be any form of discordance. The energy was progressive and clear; it could even allow the user to slowly gain insights into his own Dao Laws. This was just like a mortal becoming strong, one step at a time. In this world, perhaps he was the only one that could concoct such a pill. Mo Wuji exhaled deeply; he had lacked the chance to ruminate on his insights. In reality, he already had this insight when he first concocted the Draining Immortal King Pill; his Draining Immortal King Pill also had the same process of a mortal transcending into an immortal. Unfortunately, he had either been on the run or furiously raising his cultivation level. Such instances where he had a few months to quietly ponder on his Pill Dao was extremely rare. After cleaning his pill furnace, Mo Wuji went on to concoct another five batches of Tier 5 god herbs. None of the five batches failed. The only regret was that he didn''t manage to concoct a single unique grade pill. However, this was related to his cultivation level, so Mo Wuji didn''t mind too much it. Carefully taking out the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand, the Five Rune Crushed Fruit and the Defrosting Lotus, Mo Wuji prepared to concoct the Solitary God Pill. His spiritual will had already noticed that Chi Chuan''s sister, Chi Bing, was already on the last legs of her life. If he didn''t concoct the Solitary God Pill, Chi Bing would actually die. Mo Wuji had three Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. However, he only had one Five Rune Crushed Fruit and Defrosting Lotus each. If something went wrong, then he would feel really guilty. Fortunately, Mo Wuji now had control over Tier 5 god pills and he didn''t face any obstacles when concocting this batch of Solitary God Pills. The only issue was that corrosive dao runes appeared on the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand when he was melting it. However, Mo Wuji didn''t fear these dao runes at all. His spirit storage channel easily swept those dao runes away and turned them into nothingness. After four hours, nine Solitary God Pills landed into a jade vase. All nine of them were high grade. The slightly fatigued Mo Wuji casually cleaned the area then walked out of the room. "Big Brother Mo, you''re out¡­" Chi Chuan, who had been staring at the second floor from dusk till dawn, sprang up when he saw Mo Wuji. His voice was slightly excited, but at the same time, contained a hint of uncertainty. "There''s no need to be anxious. Let''s go and look at your sister." Mo Wuji clapped Chi Chuan''s shoulders. "Teacher Mo!" Another cry of pleasant surprise could be heard. Mo Wuji turned and saw Qu Chendan and Di Jie at the entrance of his clinic. Looking at the two''s expressions of glee, Mo Wuji knew that they should have grown amazing Green Dew Rice. Mo Wuji nodded towards the two of them and said, "The two of you, please wait. I need to go and save a life." Hearing those words, Qu Chendan and Di Jie remembered that Mo Wuji actually ran a clinic. ¡­ Chi Bing''s face was ashen. After not seeing her for half a year, she no longer had the same appearance of an old woman. Instead, she looked like a skeleton. The more terrifying thing was that her entire body emitted a concentrated energy of death. Even Qu Chendan and Di Jie who just came could tell that Chi Bing''s spiritual roots and channels had rotted. "She can still be saved?" Di Jie muttered to herself. Mo Wuji did not care about her words. He walked over and placed an ordinary looking pill into Chi Bing''s mouth. At the same time, he sent a stream of life force from his vitality channel into Chi Bing''s almost disintegrated spiritual channels. Because this life force entered Chi Bing''s body, the death energy around her dispersed significantly. Mo Wuji sent a Solitary God Pill into Chi Bing''s mouth, then sent more life force into Chi Bing''s body. The Solitary God Pill was truly the right pill to treat Chi Bing''s illness. Unfortunately, after so many years, Chi Bing''s life was like a candle at the end of its wick. If he didn''t send some life force into her, even his Solitary God Pill might not be able to save her. Chi Chuan stood by Chi Bing''s bed, half kneeling. His hands were trembling slightly. He was clear that if his sister wasn''t saved now, he would lose her forever. What excited Chi Chuan and left Qu Chendan and Di Jie in disbelief was that Chi Bing''s flailing spiritual aura suddenly grew stronger. Not only that, the surrounding god spiritual energy seemed to form a tiny whirlpool and got sucked into Chi Bing. Because large amounts of god spiritual energy continuously surged into her, Chi Bing''s aura got increasingly stronger. Mo Wuji threw out a pile of high-grade god crystals at the right moment. There was already a spirit gathering array in Cure-All Clinic. With Mo Wuji''s god crystals added into the mix, Chi Bing''s rate of absorbing god spiritual energy got even faster. Chapter 978: Leaving Chapter 978: Leaving Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Chi Chuan brought her to Cure-All Clinic, Chi Bing couldn''t speak but she could think. When she saw her brother reveal the Solitary God Pill Formula and their Tier 5 god herbs, she went into despair. She knew that the two of them would no longer have a future. No one would be willing to let go of the two of them after seeing such a peak grade pill formula and a god herb like the Clear Jade God Flower. At this moment, as her primordial spirit was about to collapse and her soul seemed to fall into eternal darkness, she actually saw a ray of light and that ray of light seemed to get increasingly brighter. Her blood, primordial spirit, spirit channels, and even her spiritual roots started to gradually condense. Her body also started to slowly gain strength. Am I dead? Is this the Cycle of Reincarnation? Chi Bing suddenly opened her eyes. "Sister¡­" Chi Chuan stared as Chi Bing gradually recovered her life force, as her white hair turned black, and as her face started to have colour. He cried out in elation the moment he saw Chi Bing open her eyes. Chi Bing immediately understood that she had been saved. She hurriedly closed her eyes and circulated her cultivation technique, allowing the Solitary God Pill to take its effect at a faster rate. Previously, it was more of an instinct when Chi Bing absorbed the god spiritual energy. Now that Chi Bing was actively absorbing more god spiritual energy, her body started to recover at an even faster rate. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Everyone, let''s go out. Chi Bing will wake up again later." After bringing everyone out of the room, Mo Wuji sat Qu Chendan and Di Jie down and smiled, "Congratulations to the two of you for growing amazing Green Dew Rice. Are they high grade or intermediate grade?" Qu Chendan said excitedly, "Teacher Mo, I grew 15 catties of high-grade Green Dew Rice¡­" Di Jie added, "I grew 12 catties of high-grade Green Dew Rice¡­" After saying that, the two of them took out some of their rice grains and showed them to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji accepted them and took a look. While these high-grade Green Dew Rice were far from his, they still had some gold runes on them and could be considered high grade. "Not bad, the two of you were able to grow high-grade Green Dew Rice on your first tries. That shows that the two of you have some talent," Mo Wuji casually praised them. Di Jie hurriedly added, "Teacher Mo, why is it that besides these high-grade Green Dew Rice, the rest are all low grade?" "It''s the same for me too," Qu Chendan hurriedly added. Besides thanking Mo Wuji, the two of them also came here to ask Mo Wuji why all the rest of their Green Dew Rice were low grade. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "With your ten over catties of high-grade Green Dew Rice, I''m sure that you will not face any difficulties with obtaining high scores in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment." With Qu Chendan''s and Di Jie''s method of transplanting based on luck, Mo Wuji truly didn''t have any way to tell them why they didn''t have any intermediate grade Green Dew Rice. "Right, right." Qu Chendan promptly said, "Unfortunately, the sect doesn''t announce our results. Otherwise, I would get to see the looks of astonishment on the faces of those that chose to learn from Master Guang Zhang." "Teacher Mo, you''re also a top class doctor? Oh, and I also heard that you were a great pill refiner." Di Jie recalled the previous scene of Mo Wuji saving Chi Bing. Even though Mo Wuji was their teacher, they truly couldn''t treat him like they would their master. After all, when it came to cultivation level and age, it seems like Mo Wuji was more tender than the two of them. "I just happen to know some skills. In fact, because I know too little, I don''t intend to continue operating this clinic," Mo Wuji said. He naturally knew the meaning of Di Jie''s words; she probably wanted to learn the Pill Dao from him. However, he had no intentions of imparting that knowledge to the two of them. His knowledge wasn''t obtained so easily. Previously, he taught the two of them because he had accepted Chi Kun''s invitation. Moreover, Chi Kun had helped him out, so he was returning the favour. In other words, even if they were two other people, he would also have imparted his knowledge of Green Dew Rice. Now that he had completed his duties, he no longer had any intentions of staying in High Firmament City. Moreover, Di Jie and Qu Chendan did not meet his criteria for a disciple; they lacked a heart of gratitude. Di Jie and Qu Chendan definitely knew about his skill with Green Dew Rice from Chi Kun. If that''s the case, they would definitely know that he needed Tier 5 god herbs. Also, when he was talking to the two of them, he could tell that their backgrounds were not simple. Since they had such roots and backing, and they had learnt from him, they would have definitely gifted him with some Tier 5 god herbs if they were truly grateful. However, the two of them didn''t even mention it. They were probably here because of their queries regarding the grade of their Green Dew Rice rather than their gratitude. "Master Mo is leaving High Firmament City?" Qu Chendan hurriedly asked, "May I ask where Teacher Mo is heading?" Mo Wuji did not have intentions of hiding his tracks, he said, "I intend to try my luck in Nirvana Dao City. Perhaps I have will have some luck with Nirvana Learning Academy. There''s less than half a year to Learning Academy''s assessment. I''m afraid that if I go too late, I wouldn''t even find a place to stay." Qu Chendan''s mouth went agape. He seemed to want to say something but he decided against it. Di Jie also laughed but didn''t say anything further. This left Mo Wuji rather disappointed. There was no need to ask, it would definitely be hard to find a place in Nirvana Dao City now. Qu Chendan and Di Jie were both of high family backings. If they wanted to help him find a place, they would definitely have offered. From the looks of it, these two core disciples of High Firmament God Sect saw their Teacher Mo as a mere farmer. "Teacher Mo, we siblings are willing to follow you to Nirvana Dao City," A clear voice resounded, causing Mo Wuji''s eyes to light up. Dressed in greyish-purple robes, Chi Bing still looked fragile but she was no longer old. Moreover, her aura had already gone back to the World God Stage. Chi Bing could not be considered pretty but she gave people a sense of comfort. "Sister, you''re fine," Chi Chuan said agitatedly. Mo Wuji also said, "Congratulations to Dao Friend Chi on your recovery." Chi Bing bowed towards Mo Wuji and said, "If not for Teacher Mo''s help, I, Chi Bing, wouldn''t be able to stand here today. I might not even have a chance at reincarnation. Teacher Mo is my younger brother''s Big Brother, so you can just call me Chi Bing." Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "Actually, I should thank the two of you. The two of you allowed me to have a breakthrough in my Dao. Also, the ingredients for your pill was provided by you." Mo Wuji was truly rather grateful to them. If he hadn''t made this promise to Chi Chuan, he might not have gone to purchase large amounts of Tier 5 god herbs. When he was trading the Rootless God Steel, he wouldn''t have added the condition of the Tier 5 god herbs. It was exactly because he obtained large amounts of Tier 5 god herbs that he could practise on his Tier 5 god pills. And consequently, this allowed him to gain enlightenment on his Mortal Dao and the deficiencies with his Undying World. "Little Chuan, sister was wrong." After Chi Bing thanked Mo Wuji, she went on to hold Chi Chuan''s hands tightly. As for what her mistake was, she didn''t mention it. Chi Chuan, however, knew what she was talking about. Previously, she told him that even if she died, he definitely couldn''t reveal that they had the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand and the Clear Jade God Flower. Less needed to be said about the pill formula for the Solitary God Pill. If these matters were revealed, then they would have died much earlier. When Chi Chuan had no other options left, he finally decided to reveal these things to Mo Wuji. Not only didn''t Mo Wuji try anything malicious, he even did his best to save her. Qu Chendan could not help but stand up and clasp his fists to Mo Wuji, "Teacher Mo, my Qu Clan is really impressed with Teacher Mo''s capabilities and we would like to invite Teacher Mo to be an Honorary Elder of the Clan. As long as Teacher Mo goes to the Qu Clan, you could choose to stay anywhere in the Qu Clan''s land. Although I don''t dare to talk about Tier 5 god herbs, there will definitely be Tier 4 god herbs for Teacher Mo to use." Mo Wuji said calmly, "Many thanks but I''m used to freedom and independence. This time, I only came to High Firmament City because of Chi Kun''s invitation and to repay a favour to Chi Kun." Even if Qu Chendan and Di Jie were any more obtuse, they would still be able to tell Mo Wuji''s meaning. That was, Mo Wuji didn''t teach them because he admired their talents, but because of a favour to Chi Kun. Seeing this Mo Wuji seemed to have some words for the Chi siblings, the two could only bid their farewells. The moment Qu Chendan and Di Jie left, Shuai Guo eagerly asked, "My Lord, we''re leaving High Firmament City? When?" During this time, Shuai Guo had been living freely. Chi Chuan was a simple and honest person, so when Mo Wuji was in seclusion, Shuai Guo basically handed over the shop to Chi Chuan while it roamed around High Firmament City. Thus, when it heard that Mo Wuji wanted to leave, it felt rather reluctant. "Now." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to say. ¡­ At this moment, High Firmament God Sect''s Sect Head Hall was filled with people. Sect Head Xing Wen had a solemn expression on his face and his voice was also overcast, "Everyone should know what happened not long ago. Thus, our High Firmament God Sect will now stop all attempts at the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, as well as investigations of the person who sold it. Call our men back and focus our attention back to Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment." The Sect Head Hall was silent; everyone knew the meaning of the sect head''s words. Half a year ago, a Gold Nirvana Dao Sand actually appeared in Dew Drop God City. This raised the level of the entire auction by multiple folds. However, this was not the end of the issue. After this Gold Nirvana Dao Sand was traded in, it attracted the desire of many God Kings. God Kings from various places swarmed towards Dew Drop God City; they wanted to purchase the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, and at the same time, investigate on who was the person who sold it. High Firmament God Sect was one of them; at least three God Kings from High Firmament God Sect went over to Dew Drop God City. However, Sect Head Xing Wen stopped these attempts today. This was because on the day before, Dew Drop Merchant Union was showered in blood. All the items in Dew Drop Merchant Union were stolen. Until now, no one knew who did this. Because High Firmament God Sect was afraid, they decided to hold this meeting. Chapter 979: Coiling Wind Forest Chapter 979: Coiling Wind Forest Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations As Xing Wen got here, he suddenly recalled something. His eyes landed on Elder Ren Fei. Ren Fei performed a sect greeting, then he said solemnly, "I was about to report the matter of the sect''s Green Dew Rice test but because of the destruction of Dew Drop Merchant Union''s headquarters, the report was delayed." Xing Wen laughed faintly, then he nodded his head, "The matter with Dew Drop Merchant Union is already one of the past. My High Firmament God Sect''s men have returned. Even if anything else happens, it would no longer be related to my High Firmament God Sect. This time, Master Guang Zhang came to help us with a favour. I''m sure that the results of our disciples are not bad, right?" Talking about this matter, Xing Wen felt rather delighted. Because Master Guang Zhang owed him a favour, he came over to High Firmament God Sect to impart his knowledge on growing Green Dew Rice. One must know that Master Guang Zhang would be especially busy at s time like this. Ren Fei hurriedly said, "The results of our internal tests were indeed not bad. Two grew high-grade Green Dew Rice, one grew intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, while the rest were all low grade. Of course, there are also good and bad ones within the low grade¡­" "What?" Xing Wen suddenly stood up. He said in disbelief, "Master Guang Zhang is so amazing?" He could not help but be shocked. The number of people that could grow high-grade Green Dew Rice could be counted on the fingers. Even if Master Guang Zhang was any more amazing, he couldn''t teach two people to grow high-grade Green Dew Rice in a few short days, right? At this time, he could only celebrate that he had managed to invite Master Guang Zhang to impart his knowledge. Ren Fei said awkwardly, "Answering the Sect Head, the two disciples that grew high-grade Green Dew Rice weren''t taught by Master Guang Zhang." "What do you mean?" Xing Wen''s brows knitted slightly. Could it be that among the hundred disciples, there were some hidden experts? But this wasn''t possible. This was because growing Green Dew Rice was a worthless thing. Cultivators would never have enough time to cultivate, who would be so foolish as to spend time growing Green Dew Rice. Ren Fei hurriedly explained, "Sect Head should have heard of Mo Wuji, he''s the farmer that Deacon Chi Kun invited back. He''s also a great pill refiner. Originally, our disciples were supposed to be taught by him. However, Master Guang Zhang happened to arrive on the same day. Thus, except for two disciples that willingly followed Mo Wuji, the rest all went to learn from Master Guang Zhang¡­" As a Sect Head, Xing Wen already completely understood the situation. However, he was still shocked, "Could it be that the two disciples that grew high-grade Green Dew Rice were taught by Mo Wuji?" "That''s exactly the case. And he only taught them for half a day." After Ren Fei replied, he didn''t say anything further. Xing Wen had an awkward expression on his face. Because he invited Master Guang Zhang, the better Mo Wuji was sent away. Moreover, he had to spend his favour and great efforts just to invite Guang Zhang over. Even when Guang Zhang left, the sect prepared a huge remuneration for him. In a few moments, Xing Wen regained his calm. He sat down and nodded, "I didn''t think that my judgement would have been wrong. This time, Chi Kun has provided a great merit. Allow him to cultivate in the sect''s cultivation land for three years. At the same time, allow him to pick an intermediate grade sacred art." "Yes." An elder stood up, responded, then sat back down. Xing Wen then turned to Ren Fei and said, "Elder Ren Fei, go and invite Mo Wuji to my High Firmament Sect and get him to impart the method to grow Green Dew Rice to the rest of our core disciples." "I''ve already sent someone...." Ren Fei''s words stopped abruptly. Thereafter, he had a strange expression as he said, "Sect Head, I''ve just received the news that Mo Wuji had left High Firmament City and is heading towards Nirvana Dao City." "Then go to Nirvana Dao City. We should still have time. Before Mo Wuji comes to the sect, get those two disciples that grew high-grade Green Dew Rice to explain their method," Xing Wen did not hesitate to say. Ren Fei had an embarrassed look as he said, "I''m afraid that''s not possible. I roughly knew the situation when Qu Chendan and Di Jie went to learn from Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji made them swear an oath to not pass down any of the knowledge that he taught them to anyone else." Xing Wen frowned slightly. A mere farmer actually got his sect''s disciples to swear an oath. He shook his head and said, "Since that''s the case, hurry and get that Mo Wuji back to High Firmament God Sect." Ren Fei hesitated momentarily before he said, "Sect Head, I''m afraid that this wouldn''t be easy. Previously, Mo Wuji had a clash with the Ao Clan. His behaviour showed that he wasn''t one that would bend according to others'' will. Moreover, he asked Chi Kun for some Tier 5 god herbs but because Master Guang Zhang came, the sect deemed him useless and didn''t give him any. Even after he taught two disciples that could grow high-grade Green Dew Rice, the sect didn''t give him any remunerations either." Xing Wen waved his hand, "No matter what, get him back. Even if he isn''t willing to continue teaching our disciples, we can''t have him teaching anyone else." ¡­ "Wuji, I''ve been to Nirvana Dao City before. The direction that we''re heading towards seems to be slightly wrong." Chi Bing could not help but say when she saw Mo Wuji flying his ship in the wrong direction. She owed Mo Wuji a gratitude of life. Moreover, her younger brother addressed Mo Wuji as Big Brother and she was rather pleased with Mo Wuji''s character. Thus, Chi Bing suggested that they simply addressed each other like siblings. Mo Wuji shook his head and said, "Sister Bing, when we left Cure-All Clinic, did you hear what people were discussing about?" Chi Bing nodded, "I heard. Dew Drop Merchant Union''s headquarters was actually showered in blood. Dew Drop Merchant Union is actually a business of Dew Drop City itself, and it is a renowned power throughout the entire God Continent. I don''t know what person would have such power to do such a thing, nor why this matter even happened." "Who did it and why he did it isn''t related to us. I''m guessing that with Dew Drop Merchant Union''s headquarters being destroyed, the checks at Nirvana Dao City are sure to be strict. After all, Nirvana Learning Academy will soon be holding its assessment. Thus, I intend to go to He Jian God City first. He Jian God City is very close to Nirvana Dao City. When the time for the assessment begins, we can go over to Nirvana Dao City," Mo Wuji explained. This was one reason. In reality, when he heard that Dew Drop Merchant Union was massacred, he broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, most God Kings didn''t attend the auction that he went too. Moreover, the auction didn''t immediately understand the true value of the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand. It was only after the auction ended that the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand attracted the frenzy of experts. This still wasn''t the main reason why Mo Wuji didn''t want to go to Nirvana Dao City now. After Mo Wuji heard that Dew Drop Merchant Union had been destroyed, he realised that he had been too rash. Even though the Rootless God Steel was extremely useful to him, he should not have used the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand to trade for it. This caused Mo Wuji to be more cautious. Immediately, he recalled the matter of the Green Dew Rice. If Master Guang Zhang didn''t manage to teach any students to grow high-grade Green Dew Rice, then he would definitely have attracted the attention of High Firmament God Sect. It wasn''t impossible that they would capture him and have him impart his knowledge to the rest of their disciples. Since Qu Chendan and Di Jie know that he was going to Nirvana Dao City, he wouldn''t go there for the time being." "Alright. I''m also okay with going anywhere. Unfortunately, I''ve wasted that Purple Nirvana Dao Sand. Otherwise, I would be able to charge into the God King Stage and provide us with greater power," Chi Bign sighed. Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "Sister Bing, even if you have the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand, I wouldn''t advise you use it to step into the God King Stage." "I know." Chi Bing sighed. How could she not understand that? However, in God Continent, entering the God King Stage already makes one a peak expert. Even if it was power borrowed from the insights of other people, it was still much stronger than those that don''t step into the God King Stage. Mo Wuji removed the mask from his face and said, "Sister Bing, this is my true appearance." Chi Bing wasn''t too shocked. Even though she couldn''t see Mo Wuji''s true appearance, she could tell that he was in a disguise. "Sister Bing, you should know the tier of a Solitary God Pill, right?" Mo Wuji smiled and said. Chi Bing suddenly came to an understanding. She looked at Mo Wuji with pleasant surprise, "You''re saying¡­" Mo Wuji didn''t wait for Chi Bing to finish speaking. He nodded, "That''s right. I was the one that concocted that Solitary God Pill and I am a true Tier 5 God Pill King. I''m sure that the difficulty in concocting the God Jade Pill isn''t as high as the Solitary God Pill. I''m able to concoct the Solitary God Pill, and you have the Clear Jade God Flower. Tell me, do you think that I''m able to concoct the God Jade Pill?" Chi Bing sighed and casually handed a jade box to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I followed you so that I could be of help to you. But now, it seems like I owe you much more." Mo Wuji accepted the jade box and smiled, "Sister Bing, we''re like siblings. There''s no need to be so calculative about such things." "Right, we''re siblings." Chi Bing looked at Mo Wuji and nodded resolutely. "Since that''s the case, then we won''t go to He Jian God City. Does Sister Bing know of a spacious place that''s less than a month''s journey away from Nirvana Dao City?" Mo Wuji chuckled. Chi Bing smiled, "There''s a place that few would be as familiar with as me. Let me control the flying ship, let''s go to Coiling Wind Forest. That place is quiet and experts wouldn''t casually go inside. It''s only half a month''s journey from Nirvana Dao City." "Coiling Wind Forest. What a strange name," Mo Wuji said. Chi Bing explained, "The reason why it''s called Coiling Wind Forest is because the moment a gust of wind blows into the forest, it can never leave. The same could be said for cultivators. It''s hard for cultivators to escape Coiling Wind Forest. It''s even rumoured that there are Level 6 Godbeasts in the depths of the forests. Experts that transcend the God King Stage might not necessarily escape the depths alive." ''Then is this place very dangerous?" Mo Wuji intended to find a place to concoct the pill, then have Chi Bing advance to the God King Stage. It wasn''t appropriate if the place was dangerous. Chi Bing laughed, "Rest assured. I know of the best place in Coiling Wind Forest. There definitely wouldn''t be any powerful beasts and it would be very suitable for cultivation." Chapter 980: Forging A Magic Treasure Chapter 980: Forging A Magic Treasure Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment they entered the Coiling Wind Forest, Mo Wuji could hear whistling right next to his ears. Sending his spiritual will out, he saw that they were surrounded by whirlwinds. However, this place was also as Chi Bing had said - rich in god spiritual energy. "This place is rich in spiritual energy but the coiling winds here make it unsuitable for cultivation. Moreover, our spiritual will would be affected. If any godbeasts discover us, it would be hard for us to escape," Chi Bing explained. Mo Wuji didn''t mind as he had his spirit storage channel. Although his spiritual will would still be affected, it wouldn''t be reduced to a state where he could not sense the danger around him. Moreover, his Wind Escape Technique should be especially effective in a place like this. Chi Bing had come to Coiling Wind Forest many times, so she was extremely familiar with the environment. She brought Mo Wuji and Chi Chuan through the forest. After walking for two days, they arrived at a seemingly ordinary-looking place. "Here?" Mo Wuji looked around the area questioningly. He was a Grade 4 God Array Master but he didn''t notice any natural concealment arrays here. Chi Bing laughed gently, then she casually threw out a grey array flag. A faint rune suddenly appeared in front of Mo Wujil. "I managed to discover this place by chance. Without my activation array flag, no one would be able to find this place. Previously, I offended a God King and I escaped here. I advanced from the God Monarch Stage to the World God Stage here. Thereafter, I continued to cultivate here for hundreds of thousands of years. By the time I came out of seclusion, that God King already forgot about my existence. Come, follow me in." Chi Bing said as she stepped into the rune. After everyone entered, Chi Bing waved her hand and collected that array flag. Mo Wuji was shocked by what he saw in front of him; this was an otherworldly canyon. Rich and concentrated god spiritual energy filled the canyon and a tiny river winded within it. A few low levelled beasts saw them enter but they didn''t seem too afraid of Mo Wuji and co. This caused Mo Wuji to remember the Sick Woods Plains back in the cultivation world. Sick Woods Plains was also a place concealed in plain sight and it was occupied by Mo Xiangtong, Aunt Eleven and Jing Lengbei. Thereafter, he rescued Jing Lengbei and went to the Sky Sea to search for Mo Xiangtong. Eventually, he found out that Mo Xiangtong and Aunt Eleven had obtained an immortal estate and disappeared. He wondered how Mo Xiangtong and Aunt Eleven were doing. There was also Yuan Zhenyi who went to pursue martial arts. Mo Wuji sighed and composed his feelings. "Wuji, how''s this place?" Chi Bing smiled and said. Mo Wuji nodded, "This place is good. Not only is it suitable for cultivation, it''s also suitable for concocting pills." After saying that, Mo Wuji called out Da Huang and introduced him to the Chi Siblings. Da Huang''s talent was simply heaven-defying but because of the limitations of the Laws within the Undying World, his cultivation had been stuck at Nascent God Level 6. In this concealed canyon, Chi Bing had previously constructed an area for cultivation. With the help of Mo Wuji''s pills, Chi Chuan, who had average talent, chose to enter seclusion with Da Huang and Shuai Guo. On the other hand, Chi Bing stabilised her cultivation in preparation for a breakthrough into the God King Stage. At this moment, Mo Wuji brought out his Medicinal Cauldron Furnace as he prepared to concoct the God Jade Pill. ¡­ At the same time, Nirvana Dao City was brimming with people. Mo Wuji''s guess was right. If he went to Nirvana Dao City now, not only wouldn''t he be able to find a place to stay, he probably couldn''t even find a space to temporarily rest. All the rest houses in Nirvana Dao City were filled with guests. At a time like this, even those with plenty of god crystals might not necessarily find a place to stay. As for Nirvana Dao City''s Rogue Cultivator Honour Tower Plaza, there wasn''t even space for a person to plant his feet. Countless of cultivators prepared to test their Daos to obtain the rights to participate in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. The reason behind this was that the Nirvana Learning Academy suddenly changed their assessment criteria and numbers for rogue cultivators after the massacre at Dew Drop Merchant Union. As for the reason behind that, no one knew besides Nirvana Learning Academy itself. Originally, rogue cultivators could only earn a placing to the assessment through battles or by obtaining a King Title. But now, Nirvana Learning Academy increased the placings for rogue cultivators to 100. Moreover, these 100 placings did not include those with King Titles. All rogue cultivators with a King Title could directly register for the assessment at Nirvana Learning Academy. There was no need for them to go through the Rogue Cultivators Alliance. Thus, the Rogue Cultivators Alliance decided to allocate the 100 placings based on personal abilities. For instance, if they decided to allocate 80 placings to those who performed well in battle, then they would pick the top 80 in their battle tournament. As for the supporting Daos, as long as one obtains Grade 4 in one of these Daos in Nirvana Dao City''s Honour Tower, they would earn the right to be selected by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Because the number of placings for rogue cultivators increased by multiple times, countless rogue cultivators swarmed towards Nirvana Dao City. Even though King Titles were taken out and the number of placings had been increased to 100, this amount was still minute compared to the entire rogue cultivator community. In reality, even if King Titles weren''t taken out, they wouldn''t take up many placings. After all, there were few with King Titles even in powerful sects. Less needed to be said about rogue cultivators. Geniuses that could obtain a King Title would have been headhunted by sects or clans a long time ago. Why would they remain with the rogue cultivators. There were some that were in Grade 4 but this number wasn''t high either. Thus, the chances of a Nascent God rogue cultivator that was in Grade 4 of an auxiliary Dao obtaining a placing was extremely high. The biggest competition among rogue cultivators was the Duelling Tournament. A majority of rogue cultivators could only compete in battle in order to obtain a placing for Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. ¡­ Coiling Wind Forest''s hidden canyon. Chi Bing, who had been furiously absorbing god spiritual energy to stabilise her cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked in Mo Wuji''s direction in delight. A soul-shaking pill fragrance wafted over from that direction. Chi Bing immediately knew that Mo Wuji should have succeeded in concocting the God Jade Pill. Although she had never seen the God Jade Pill before, she was sure that this was the fragrance of it. In less than a month, Mo Wuji was able to concoct the God Jade Pill. This truly came as a surprise to Chi Bing. The God Jade Pill was a peak Tier 5 god pill. In her perspective, Mo Wuji would need at least a month to calm his mind and another period of time to ruminate over the process. Only then could he start on the concoction. As Chi Bing was thinking of this, Mo Wuji''s voice sounded from the door, "Sister Bing, the God Jade Pill is already completed. You can breakthrough to the God King Stage any time you want." Chi Bing immediately stood up and released the seals of her door elatedly. She accepted the jade vase and opened it, "These are high-grade God Jade Pills?" Mo Wuji answered, "Yes, there are two high-grade God Jade Pills in there. If they aren''t enough, tell me. I still have some." Mo Wuji didn''t take an entire month to concoct the God Jade Pill. It was just that he decided to turn the rest of his god herbs into pills before he started on the God Jade Pill. The main ingredient for the God Jade Pill, the Clear Jade God Flower, was truly too rare. He didn''t know how Chi Bing even managed to obtain one. However, Mo Wuji was sure that if his concoction failed, he probably wouldn''t have a second chance. Thus, using up the rest of his god herbs could be considered a practice. "One is already enough. If one isn''t enough to step into the God King Stage, then having more would also be useless. Let me ruminate for another month, then I will head into Coiling Wind Forest to charge into the God King Stage." Chi Bing didn''t use any words to thank Mo Wuji. By now, she already knew Mo Wuji''s character. They already treated each other as siblings; there was no need for such words. "Alright, Sister Bing, when you go and breakthrough into the God King Stage, I will act as your protector. Now, I will go back and forge something." Mo Wuji didn''t continue to disturb Chi Bing from her cultivation. He was sure that Chi Bing had a 70% chance of stepping into the God King Stage. This was his instinctive thought. Even though Chi Bing was a rogue cultivator, her bottom line was far more than disciples of sects. He had seen several of Chi Bing''s treasures before. Whether it was the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand or the Clear Jade God Flower, they were both priceless treasures. As for the grey array flag which revealed this hidden canyon, it was also extremely valuable. Did these treasures come out of thin air? No, they were obviously earned at the risk of her life. This was the same for him. Which one of his treasures wasn''t earned by putting his life on the line? He almost died in the Lifeless River when he obtained the Breath of Hongmeng. He also almost lost his life when he obtained the Earth Elemental Bead back in Half Immortal Domain''s Immortal Chasm. The primal fire crystals, primal crystals, Sage Dao Talisman¡­ Even the Rootless God Steel came with a potential danger. If he wasn''t careful, he would lose his life. As a cultivator, one needed to go through such experiences in order to obtain treasures, fortunes, and insights. Thus, in this aspect, Chi Bing was the same as him. ¡­ After returning to his immortal cave, Mo Wuji immediately took out the Rootless God Steel and the Chance Water. He wanted to concoct a magic treasure which belonged to himself. Even though Mo Wuji prepared a concealment seal, the aura of the Rootless God Steel was still detected by Chi Bing. Chi Bing nodded. This new brother of hers definitely wasn''t a simple Tier 5 God Pill King. With Mo Wuji''s cultivation, he definitely wouldn''t be able to roam freely and independently if he was a simple Tier 5 God Pill King. At the same time, even if Mo Wuji was a Tier 5 God Pill King, it wouldn''t be easy for him to obtain such a peak treasure. After a short time, Chi Bing no longer cared about Mo Wuji as she immersed herself in her insights. Originally, Mo Wuji intended to forge his magic treasure in his Undying World. But because Chi Bing brought him to this hidden canyon, he dared to forge his equipment out here. The weight of the Rootless God Steel was not fixed. At times, it was as light as a feather. At others, it was as heavy as an entire planet. Mo Wuji whipped out his Scholar''s Heart. The blue flames of the Scholar''s Heart rose, drawing the Rootless God Steel in. The three gold lines within the flame were extremely clear at this moment. Mo Wuji sent one hand technique after another into the flames. Under the heat of Scholar''s Heart, the Rootless God Steel soon began to melt. The Rootless God Steel didn''t have many impurities to begin with. But like what he does with herbs, Mo Wuji used his hand techniques to get rid of any impurities within the Rootless God Steel. Days passed and the Rootless God Steel started to take shape. The instant he added the drop of Chance Water, Mo Wuji sent multiple runes into the equipment embryo. To his astonishment, no matter the grade of the runes he sent in, they would all turn into a Grade 1 God Seal when they landed on the equipment embryo. Chapter 981: God King Stage, Entering The Dao City Chapter 981: God King Stage, Entering The Dao City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations No wonder why anyone could forge a magic treasure with the Rootless God Steel. Mo Wuji finally understood the meaning within. As a cultivator of the God World, even the worst one should be able to inscribe the lowest grade of seals right? Even if a person couldn''t form a Grade 1 god seal, the Rootless God Steel would automatically evolve the seal into a Grade 1 god seal. The way Mo Wuji looked at it, it was likely that the runic seal on the Rootless God Steel would evolve together with the magic treasure. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji decided to inscribe 108 seals. The total number of Tian Gang and Di Sha was also 108. [1] Many Xiantian treasures also had 108 seals. Mo Wuji intended for this Rootless God Steel to become his final magic treasure, he naturally hoped that it could evolve into higher levels. What Mo Wuji didn''t expect was that he could not inscribe more than five seals. Moreover, the Rootless God Steel was rapidly changing into the shape that he was thinking of. In a short time, the inscribed runes disappeared within the Rootless God Steel''s equipment embryo. Mo Wuji hurriedly spat a drop of vital blood into the halberd. This halberd was his; he definitely wouldn''t give it to anyone else. The reason why he added his vital blood was so that the halberd would conform to his will more easily. Hours passed. A 6-meter long halberd floated in front of him. The halberd was grey and it no longer had the aura of the Rootless God Steel. Mo Wuji opened his hand and the halberd landed on his palm. A sense of comfort arose from the bottom of his heart; this halberd felt like it was meant to be held in his hand. The halberd blade was still shaped like a half moon. Mo Wuji stood up and lightly waved the halberd. It seemed as though space was being ripped apart with that casual wave. At that moment, a clear insight appeared in his mind. Even though it was only a light wave, Mo Wuji felt that all spiritual will and resolve were sliced with his halberd. A few moments later, that feeling disappeared. Mo Wuji was incomparably excited. What a powerful sacred art. He knew that adding Chance Water would form an innate sacred art. However, he didn''t expect that the Chance Water would give him such a pleasant surprise. This sacred art was actually Spiritual Severing; it could slice through all spiritual will in the area. This would be a killing ace in battles. As long as he used Spiritual Severing, he could remove his opponent''s control of the sacred art. Even though it was only there for a short time, it was enough for Mo Wuji to do many things. This halberd would also be called Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Mo Wuji kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd contentedly. This was the first equipment that he spent so much time on, but this halberd did not leave him disappointed. The risk that he took by going to Dew Drop God City had finally yielded a return. Even though his Half Moon Weighted Halberd was a low-grade god equipment, Mo Wuji did not mind. This weapon could evolve. "Boom! Boom!" Violent tremors could be heard. Thereafter, Chi Bing''s voice transmitted, "Wuji, I will be breaking through to the God King Stage. Follow me." "Alright." Mo Wuji immediately responded. He had just forged his Half Moon Weighted Halberd; he had confidence that he could even deal with a late stage Heavenly God. ¡­ One incense''s time later, Chi Bing and Mo Wuji were already far from the hidden valley. They arrived at a spacious plain. Chi Bing gestured towards Mo Wuji, then sat down cross-legged as she prepared to charge into the God King Stage. Mo Wuji started to install various arrays in the area: defensive arrays, protective arrays, spirit gathering array, etc. All the god crystals that he had were thrown into the spirit gathering array. In terms of the Array Dao, even Chi Bing couldn''t compare with Mo Wuji. At this instant, there was already a spiritual energy whirlpool above Chi Bing''s head. Violent waves began to reverberate around her. Laws of the Heaven and Earth were activated, then they merged with Chi Bing''s Dao Laws. The beasts in the surroundings were startled by this activation of the Laws and they all hurriedly fled away. Half a day later, the Laws of Space became increasingly clear. A power dao energy began to form above Chi Bing''s head. God spiritual energy started to surge towards Chi Bing at a greater velocity. The energy whirlpool above her head got increasingly bigger. Mo Wuji hurriedly sat down and started circulating the Immortal Mortal Technique. This opportunity was too rare. If he grabbed it, he could save a year and a half of cultivation. Another two days passed before Chi Bing finally swallowed the God Jade Pill. "Boom!" A violent lightning bolt came crashing down. At almost the same instant, Mo Wuji''s cultivation broke through from Nascent God Level 5 to Level 6. Mo Wuji exhaled deeply and stopped cultivating. He was already satisfied that he could borrow the energy from Chi Bing''s tribulation to break through into Nascent God Level 6. Now that Chi Bing was going to face her Lightning Calamity, he needed to act as her protector. "Kakaka! Kacha!" Huge lightning bolts came crashing down. Chi Bing wielded a longsword and slashed towards the lightning bolts. As each lightning bolt got dispersed by Chi Bing, Mo Wuji could feel Chi Bing''s aura getting stronger. After four consecutive waves of lightning, Mo Wuji saw that Chi Bing only suffered some minor injuries. Although this was related to Chi Bing continuously growing stronger during the process, Mo Wuji knew that it was more likely to be due to Chi Bing''s personal strength. Back then, Heavenly Mortal Sect''s Pang Jie also underwent his God King Lightning Calamity. However, Mo Wuji felt that Ancestor Pang Jie was far from being comparable to Chi Bing. Chi Bing''s strength was definitely obtained through countless battles. Dense streams of lightning continued to fall, causing Chi Bing''s injuries to get heavier. The god spiritual energy in the air also seemed to turn stagnant. Mo Wuji''s spirit instantly fell; he knew that this was due to insufficient preparation. This situation occurred because they didn''t have enough god crystals. If there were sufficient god crystals, then Chi Bing''s power would rise much faster. Few powerful auras rapidly approached them. Mo Wuji''s heart clenched as a sense of danger loomed over him. He knew that some experts have noticed Chi Bing''s Lightning Calamity and were coming to take a look. Chi Bing also seemed to notice the danger. She uttered a loud cry and the Laws around them suddenly started to shatter. Mo Wuji felt an intense energy rising from Chi Bing''s body. A sky-shattering pressure swept out from Chi Bing; Mo Wuji could not help but continuously retreat. Mo Wuji celebrated in his heart; he knew that Chi Bing had passed her God King Lightning Calamity and had stepped into the God King Stage. As expected, when Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will out once more, those auras had disappeared without a trace. Now that Chi Bing had stepped into the God King Stage, Mo Wuji could finally heave a sigh of relief. A day passed before Chi Bing emerged from the defensive array. She said to Mo Wuji, "Wuji, I have already stepped into the God King Stage. From today onwards, no one would dare to casually bully us." "Congratulations Sister Bing." Mo Wuji was also extremely elated. Having a God King by his side was far safer than going around alone. "Let''s go. We''ll head back first. I need some time in seclusion to stabilise my cultivation." Chi Bing was also rather delighted. After fighting for so many years, she had finally reached the summit. Although there were many people stronger than a Level 1 God King, at least no one would find trouble for her without reason. Instances where she was forced by a God King to hide in Coiling Wind Forest for countless years shouldn''t happen again. ¡­ There was only one month left till Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. On this day, four people and a three-legged beast arrived outside Nirvana Dao City. There were many people heading into Nirvana Dao City. At the same time, there were also many people leaving the Dao City. Thus, the outside of Nirvana Dao City was filled with people. These four people were exactly Mo Wuji, Chi Bing, Chi Chuan and Da Huang. The three-legged beast was naturally Shuai Guo. After a few months of seclusion, Chi Bing''s cultivation had firmly stabilised at God King Level 1. Mo Wuji''s cultivation was also stabilised at Nascent God Level 6. As for Da Huang, he had already charged straight to Nascent God Level 7, the late stage of the Nascent God Stage. The only ones that didn''t improve were Shuai Guo and Chi Chuan. Chi Chuan''s talent was below average. Thus, even if he had ample god spiritual energy and god pills, his improvement was still very slow. This was also why Chi Bing was already a God King while Chi Chuan was still stagnant at Nascent God Level 7. Mo Wuji already had a plan in his head. If he could enter Nirvana Learning Academy, he would ask whether Chi Chuan was willing to change his cultivation technique and follow him with the Mortal Dao. "What a grand city¡­" The hyperactive Shuai Guo was transfixed by the majesty of Nirvana Dao City. The city walls of Nirvana Dao City were thousands of meters high. A jade road which was hundreds of meters wide led straight through the city gates. If not for the large numbers of people here, the road would look far more majestic. Nirvana Dao City was a city with city walls. All these walls were shrouded in the mists of arrays and they couldn''t be seen clearly. People heading towards Nirvana Dao City could only see the three huge words floating in mid-air - Nirvana Dao City. "Of course, Nirvana Dao City is the only Dao City in the entire God Continent, and it is also the largest city. If Dew Drop Merchant Union decided to auction that supreme treasure of theirs here, nothing would have happened to them. No one would dare cause trouble in Nirvana Dao City," Chi Bing answered Shuai Guo. After a short pause, she continued, "I''m worried that if we enter Nirvana Dao City now, we might really be unable to find a place to stay." "Sister, did we come too late? What will we do if Big Brother Mo is unable to register?" Chi Chuan asked worriedly. He didn''t care much about the living situation; if there wasn''t any place to stay, then they would just leave the city. "That definitely wouldn''t happen. Even if you come on the day before the assessment itself, it still wouldn''t be too late," Chi Bing shook her head and said. "Eh, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance has already allocated their hundred placings." Mo Wuji stopped as he noticed the large array screen on the city wall. Chi Bing also looked at the array screen and laughed faintly, "That isn''t a problem. Even if there aren''t any placings, Wuji would still be able to go for the assessment." Mo Wuji was a Tier 5 God Pill King. It was written on the array screen that Tier 5 God Pill Kings that were in the Nascent God Stage would have the rights to participate in the assessment. "The few of you should be rogue cultivators, right? The placings are actually still available. However, I have to tell you not to overthink things. The current 100th place in the Rogue Cultivator Tournament could beat an average early stage Heavenly God." A rogue Nascent God chuckled when he heard Chi Bing''s words. "What do you know? My lord is an expert in the Pill Dao. What does a mere placing even count for?" Shuai Guo harrumphed in disdain. Now that Mo Wuji no longer placed him in the Undying World, it started to act arrogantly. When this Nascent God heard these words, his mouth arced into a weird smile, "An expert in the Pill Dao? Hehe, you will know when you go in." With that, he no longer waited for Mo Wuji to say anything. He turned and squeezed into the crowd. [1] These are stars in the sky which have been personified as deities. There are 36 Tian Gangs and 72 Di Sha. The story behind the Tian Gang and Di Sha can be found in Water Margin, one of the four Chinese Classics. Chapter 982: The Crowded Nirvana Dao City Chapter 982: The Crowded Nirvana Dao City Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Chi Bing laughed and said, "It doesn''t matter what he says, you''re not part of the people that he was referring to." "Sister Bing, let''s first find a place to stay." Mo Wuji smiled. He understood the meaning behind Chi Bing''s words; if a Tier 5 God Pill King like him was unable to participate in the Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, then that would be too preposterous. "I''m afraid that won''t be easy. At this time, there''s no need to talk about finding a place to stay, even finding a place to rest would be difficult." Chi Bing shook her head. Mo Wuji laughed faintly, but he didn''t say a word. If he didn''t have an expert like Chi Bing by his side, it would indeed be hard to find a place to stay. This was because he wouldn''t dare to take out his pills and trade them. Thus, he actually believed that it would be easy for him to find a place to stay. Nirvana Dao City was an open city; it allowed anyone to enter and leave, without any time restrictions. This was because no one dared to cause a ruckus in this city. When the grouped entered the city, they were greeted by five god statues. These god statues seemed to have a life of their own. As they stood tall over the city gate, it felt as though the entire Nirvana Dao City was under the watch and protection of these five god statues. Mo Wuji saw that many cultivators bowed respectfully when they passed by these god statues. Even Chi Bing also bowed slightly before she joined Mo Wuji. Shuai Guo and Da Huang were following behind Mo Wuji. Since Mo Wuji didn''t bow towards the statues, they naturally wouldn''t do anything as well. However, Mo Wuji''s action of not bowing was not particularly eye-catching; he wasn''t the only one that didn''t bow to the five statues. As they walked through the city, their spiritual will was obstructed while their visions were left unhindered. After all, there were few that had a spiritual eye like Mo Wuji. It was just as Mo Wuji and Chi Bing expected. All the shophouses that they passed were brimming with people. As for those sold pills and equipment, they were especially packed. In Mo Wuji''s eyes, how was this a Dao City? It was simply a huge bazaar. The group did not walk far before they saw two huge plazas. On the plaza to the left, there were multiple stages erected and battles were taking place. Some spatial waves swept out from those stages. Although they were very small, Mo Wuji and co. were still able to feel them. "Nirvana Learning Academy Assessment Rogue Cultivator Placing Duel Site." These few words were erected outside the plaza. "If you weren''t a Tier 5 God Pill King, it would truly be difficult for you to obtain a placing through these duels." Chi Bing looked at the packed plaza and sighed. Cultivating the Dao was hard. There were limited resources and countless people fighting for them. Opportunities were only given to the few outstanding ones, and a majority of people would ultimately get buried with time. "There are truly a lot of people." Chi Chuan could not help but sigh emotionally. These two plazas of Nirvana Dao City were definitely behemoth-level. Even if a million people entered, they would still seem spacious. But now, the plaza on the left was packed with people; some that came earlier even brought out their god estates. On the other hand, there were also many people on the plaza on the right, but it was far from being as crowded as the one on the left. "Nirvana Dao City doesn''t restrict entry. Those people could not find a place to stay, so they could only sleep on this plaza," Chi Bing explained. "Why aren''t these two plazas merged into one? Also, why doesn''t anyone bring out their god estates on the plaza on the right? Isn''t it more spacious there?" Chi Bing said, "Do you see those towers at the centre of the plaza on the right? Those towers are the assessment towers for the various Daos. For Kings of the Daos to obtain their recognition, they would need to go into those towers. Wuji, later, you would also need to enter those towers to validate your ability as a God Pill King. These towers are the Dao Honour Towers established by Nirvana Learning Academy. Thus, people could only stay here, but they can''t bring out their god estates." Chi Chuan sighed, "If only we came earlier. Perhaps we might be able to find a spot to bring out a god estate to stay in." Mo Wuji clapped Chi Chuan''s shoulders, "There''s no need to look any further, there''s a rest house right in front of us. Let''s go in and take a look." Mo Wuji was referring to the God Joy Resthouse which was opposite the plazas. God Joy Resthouse looked incredibly grand and it was situated next to the various Dao Honour Towers. At least he wouldn''t need to travel far. "But¡­" Chi Chuan clearly thought that it would be impossible to find a room in a rest house now. "Let''s go in and take a look," Chi Bing suddenly said; she had some slight understanding towards Mo Wuji''s methods. With Mo Wuji''s intelligence, he definitely wouldn''t be unaware that there definitely wouldn''t be a place for them to stay in a rest house like God Joy Resthouse. Since Mo Wuji still decided to go over and take a look, it meant that Mo Wuji had his ways. ¡­ God Joy Resthouse wasn''t grand only on the outside. The inside of the rest house was equally majestic. As they stood in the spacious entrance hall, they felt as though the sky had not been separated from them, giving them a carefree feeling. "These dao friends, I''m truly sorry but there aren''t any spare rooms now." Before Mo Wuji could ask anything, an attendant approached them with a smile. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "I''m here to find a friend. He''s in the late God Monarch Stage and he came half a year ago. We decided to meet at God Joy Resthouse but I arrived a few months late so I don''t know which room he is staying in." "May I ask what''s the name of your friend?" The attendant hurriedly asked when he heard that Mo Wuji was here to look for a friend. Mo Wuji said embarrassedly, "He should have used a false name. Even if I said his name, you wouldn''t know it. You just need to tell me where a late stage God Monarch cultivator is staying." The attendant had a pressured expression as he said, "This dao friend, I''m truly unable to help you. There''s no need to talk about how there''s definitely more than one of our guests in the late God Monarch Stage. Even if there''s only one, I would not be able to reveal the details of our guest." If not for a God King like Chi Bing standing beside Mo Wuji, this attendant might have already dismissed Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji retrieved a vase of pills and stuffed it into this attendant''s hands and said, "Dao Friend, you only need to tell me the rooms of three late-stage God Monarchs that checked in within the last half a year. I will go and take a look. If all three of them aren''t my friends, then I will wait for my friend outside." Draining Elemental God Pill? The moment this attendant saw the vase of pills, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously brought it closer to himself. The Draining Elemental God Pill wasn''t a high tiered pill. In fact, it was only a Tier 1 god pill. However, this god pill had one great function, it could help Nascent God cultivators in their advancement. This attendant was only in Nascent God Level 6 and he was only a single step away from Nascent God Level 7. If he had this vase of Draining Elemental God Pill, he would definitely step into Nascent God Level 7. If it was any other pill, this attendant might have to consider it. But with the Draining Elemental God Pill in front of him, this attendant didn''t need to consider. This pill was relatively harder to buy in pill houses, and even if he managed to get his hands on some, they would be of the poorest of qualities. Better Draining Elemental God Pills would be purchased by huge sects or clans the moment they were concocted. This pill was just like the Nascent God Fruit. The Nascent God Fruit was only a Tier 1 god fruit but its price exceeded many Tier 5 god herbs. "This¡­ I can only tell you the rooms of three customers. Also, you must be careful not to disturb them, otherwise, I would be pulled down with you," This attendant whispered. This was Nirvana Dao City. He wasn''t afraid that Mo Wuji would cause a ruckus, but he was scared that Mo Wuji would drag his reputation down. To get a job as an attendant in God Joy Resthouse was not an easy thing. "Rest assured. The time I will take definitely wouldn''t exceed half an incense," Mo Wuji said resolutely. When he heard that Mo Wuji would only take half an incense''s time, this attendant felt relieved. He flipped through the records and whispered, "Room 51A, Xun Chun. Checked in half a year ago and pays by the month. Room 121C, Wan Feizhou. Checked in seven months ago and pays every half a year. Room 73A, Jin Yongwu. Checked in half a year ago and has already paid for an entire year." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Many thanks, I will go and take a look." "Wait, I will follow the group of you." This attendant was still slightly nervous. "That''s fine. We will first go to Room 73A then. This Jin Yongwu sounds like my friend." Mo Wuji chose Jin Yongwu because Jin Yongwu had already paid for an entire year and was staying in an A-type room. There was no need to ask to know that this fella was wealthy. Room 73A was on the 12th floor of God Joy Resthouse. When Mo Wuji and co. arrived, he didn''t get the attendant to touch the door seals. Instead, he had the attendant wait with Chi Bing and co. while he touched the seal himself. The one that came out was a gloomy, scrawny, middle-aged man. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that this fella was at the pinnacle of the God Monarch Stage and he primarily cultivated the arts of Yin. "Who are you? Why have you appeared at my door?" When Jin Yongwu saw that puny Nascent God had touched his seal, his face immediately turned cold. However, he soon noticed Chi Bing and he didn''t act up any further. When he saw this, the attendant''s heart skipped a beat. Clearly, this fella wasn''t the person that Mo Wuji was looking for. He only hoped that this guest was magnanimous and wouldn''t be offended by Mo Wuji''s actions. Mo Wuji directly took out a jade vase and handed it to Jin Yongwu, "Dao Friend Jin, take a look at this." Jin Yongwu didn''t allow Mo Wuji into his room. Instead, he grabbed Mo Wuji''s jade vase and scanned it with his spiritual will. Immediately, his expression changed and his heart started to pound furiously. This was actually a unique-grade World Bearing Pill. The World Bearing Pill was actually a Tier 4 god pill that could help Great Circle God Monarchs step into the World God Stage. Such a god pill was extremely hard to obtain. While he didn''t come to Nirvana Dao City for the World Bearing Pill, the World Bearing Pill was the thing that he needed the most. The reason why he didn''t intend to look for the World Bearing Pill was because the World Bearing Pill was truly too hard to obtain. The World Bearing Pill was only a Tier 4 god pill but this pill was difficult to make and it required the peak grade Moonlight Fruit. While the Moonlight Fruit wasn''t as rare as the Clear Jade God Fruit, it was extremely hard to find. This god fruit grows from moonlight and it would wilt the moment sunlight lands on it. Even if he found the Moonlight Fruit, it would be hard to obtain the Tier 4 World Bearing Fruit without a Tier 5 God Pill King, much less a unique grade one. "What do you need me to do?" Jin Yongwu instantly understood Mo Wuji''s meaning. He stared at Mo Wuji and asked. Chapter 983: Honour Tower Chapter 983: Honour Tower Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "The few of us don''t have any place to stay, so give us your room. Of course, I also need 500,000 high-grade god crystals," Mo Wuji said calmly. If this World Bearing Pill was sold at an auction, its price would definitely be astronomical. But now, Mo Wuji was only asking for 500,000 god crystals and his room. Jin Yongwu didn''t even hesitate as he directly said, "Alright, I will move out now and hand over the room to you." The main reason why Jin Yongwu came to Nirvana Dao City in the first place was to find means to advance to the World God Stage. Now that a unique grade World Bearing Pill was placed in front of him, he would be an idiot to reject it. There was no need to talk about the 500,000 god crystals; even if Mo Wuji asked for a slightly higher amount, he would not have hesitated to accept it. "Since that''s the case, I will have to thank Dao Friend Jin." Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said. He possessed the World Channel, so basically all the World Bearing Pills that he concocted were unique grade. Moreover, he only dared to do this because Chi Bing was with him. If not for Chi Bing, Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t dare to take out his World Bearing Pill so openly. Under the dazed stare of the attendant, Mo Wuji and co. moved onto Room 73A. Chi Bing was slightly speechless; only a person like Mo Wuji would use the World Bearing Pill to trade for a place to stay. Moreover, she was the one who gave him the Moonlight Fruit for the World Bearing Pill. God Joy Resthouse could be considered a top-rate rest house in Nirvana Dao City, and A-type rooms were the more luxurious rooms. Room 73A had a total of four rooms. Mo Wuji, Chi Bing and Chi Chuan each took one while Da Huang and Shuai Guo shared the last one. Chi Bing had not been in the God King Stage for a long time. Thus, the moment she entered her room, she immediately started to stabilize her cultivation. On the other hand, because of the influence of Da Huang, Chi Chuan also became more diligent and grabbed this opportunity to cultivate. Only Shuai Guo didn''t do anything; it wanted to follow Mo Wuji and stroll around the city. However, after Mo Wuji installed the seals around the room, he didn''t even bring Shuai Guo with him. In its helplessness, Shuai Guo could only cultivate together with Da Huang. Mo Wuji naturally wasn''t going to bring Shuai Guo with him. After all, he was going to Nirvana Dao City''s plaza to obtain the King Title for his Pill Dao. Nirvana Dao City was very safe and Chi Bing knew that Mo Wuji was undoubtedly a Tier 5 God Pill King, so she didn''t need to follow Mo Wuji to Nirvana Dao Plaza. As he passed by the plaza on the left, Mo Wuji specially took a slight pause. At least the cultivator outside the city wasn''t lying. The Nascent Gods on the battle stages were all very powerful. There were a total of 30 stages and Mo Wuji saw that one of the cultivators on the stage was definitely not weaker than Wu Liang, one of the Ten Vicious Cultivators. However, after he reached Nascent God Level 6, Wu Liang couldn''t even hold a candle to him. Just as Mo Wuji was leaving, he saw a Nascent God Level 7 cultivator being cleaved in half by a Great Circle Nascent God; only his primordial spirit remained. That terrified primordial spirit desperately tried to reconnect with his body. However, he was helpless against the strong residual dao energy from his opponent''s attack. No matter what he did, this primordial spirit couldn''t re-enter his body. The judge at the side of the stage couldn''t care much about this. He simply threw a fire towards the decapitated body, burning it to ashes. At the same time, he harrumphed harshly, "Primordial spirits aren''t allowed to stay in Nirvana Dao City. You have two hours to leave the city." That miserable primordial spirit didn''t even dare to stay as he hurriedly left the area. The crowd was very calm as they saw this. Clearly, such things were extremely common. Mo Wuji sighed emotionally about the difficulty in pursuing the Dao. After this competition, exactly how many Nascent Gods would have died? Moreover, those that dared to fight on the stages were generally those that had their methods. After this competition ends, a significant number of capable Nascent Gods would be lost. Indeed, just as Mo Wuji was thinking of this, a cultivator was sent flying off the stage. As this cultivator was in mid-air, he suddenly exploded. His body, as well as his primordial spirit, were vaporized into ashes. Nothing was left of him. Mo Wuji shook his head. He no longer wanted to watch any further as he walked past the Battle Plaza and towards the Dao Honour Towers. Only victory and defeat mattered in this sort of battle; there were no other restrictions. Death wasn''t a strange sight. As he entered the plaza on the right, it felt much more spacious. Seven towering glass towers were built in the arrangement of the Big Dipper, resulting in a spoon-like layout. However, the architecture of each glass tower was different. For instance, the Pill Dao Tower was shaped like a huge cauldron. Words floated at the front of each glass tower. In front of the Pill Dao Tower were the words - Pill Dao Honour Tower. Besides the Pill Dao Honour Tower, there were also the Equipment Dao, the Array Dao, the Talisman Dao, the Evil Dao, the Witch Dao and the Sacred Art Dao. Mo Wuji didn''t expect that the Witch Dao actually had a tower here. Mo Wuji saw plenty of cultivators walking into various Dao Honour Towers, but he also saw many being transported out. Today, he had come to validate his Pill Dao. Even though his Array Dao was already in Grade 4, his Pill Dao was his most impressive Dao at the moment. "You''re a rogue cultivator?" Just as Mo Wuji walked to the Pill Dao Honour Tower, a yellow-robed cultivator approached him. Mo Wuji stared at this yellow-robed cultivator quizzically, thinking whether there was a need to register just to enter the Dao Honour Tower. "That''s right, I''m a rouge cultivator." Mo Wuji nodded. "What tier of a pill refiner are you?" This yellow-robed cultivator continued asking. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "My tier is my own business. What has it got to do with you?" The yellow-robed cultivator casually brought out a jade token, flashed it and continued, "I''m the in-charge of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s Pill Dao Assessment. Thus, all rogue cultivators that come to assess their Pill Dao need to go through me. Otherwise, even if you are a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner, you wouldn''t have the rights to participate in the Alliance''s internal selection." "What do I need to do?" Mo Wuji asked calmly. "If you are a Tier 3 God Pill Refiner, you need to pay a fee of 20,000 high-grade god crystals and two vases of Tier 3 god pills. If you are a Tier 4 God Pill Pill Refiner, you need to pay a fee of 50,000 high-grade god crystals and one vase of Tier 4 god pills," This yellow-robed cultivator said to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji laughed indifferently, "I apologize. I don''t have any god crystals, nor do I have that many god pills." This yellow-robed cultivator wasn''t angered. Instead, he brought out a leather scroll and said, "This time, we will only pick eight pill refiners. Take a look at how many Tier 4 God Pill Refiners have registered. Let me tell you, the names on this scroll are Tier 4 God Pill Refiners who have already obtained the validation from the Dao Honour Tower. I haven''t even brought out the records for the Tier 3 ones; there are much more of them." "How can there be so many Tier 4 God Pill Refiners?" Mo Wuji muttered in shock. Mo Wuji knew exactly how difficult it was for a rogue cultivator to be a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner. Moreover, not everyone cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique like him. If not for his Immortal Mortal Technique, and his Gold Nirvana Dao Sand, he couldn''t have advanced to the Tier 5 level. "Of course there aren''t many of them that are rogue cultivators." The yellow-robed cultivator kept the scroll, "if you don''t wish to hand over the god crystals, then forget about it. However, if we cannot verify that you''re actually a rogue cultivator, then you cannot take part in the internal selections for the Rogue Cultivator Alliance." Mo Wuji came to a realisation. No wonder why there were so many Tier 4 God Pill Refiners. Most of them were probably from big sects. For those extra one or two placings, these sects had their pill refiners pose as rogue cultivators. The number of rogue Tier 4 God Pill Refiners probably didn''t even number more than one or two. In other words, the eight placings for rogue pill refiners were basically going to the hands of the big sects. Fortunately, he was already a Tier 5 God Pill King, otherwise, he would really have to pay the god crystals. Moreover, Mo Wuji was sure that the amount stated was only the registration fee. If he was validated as a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner, then the number of god crystals that he would have to pay afterwards would definitely be astronomical. "After I obtain the validation as a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner, do I still need to pay more god crystals to take part in the selection?" Mo Wuji''s voice was lined with a hint of disdain. "That''s right." This yellow-robed man stared calmly at Mo Wuji. He knew that Mo Wuji would definitely be paying him the god crystals. An opportunity to enter Nirvana Learning Academy was truly too rare. Even if it was a 1% chance, a Tier 4 God Pill Refiner would pay for it. There were even plenty of Tier 3 God Pill Refiners that came to try to luck. "Unfortunately, I don''t have a single god crystal." With that, Mo Wuji no longer cared about this yellow-robed cultivator as he walked into the Pill Dao Honour Tower. This yellow-robed cultivator stared blankly at where Mo Wuji just stood. He almost couldn''t believe his eyes. This was the first time he saw a fella that didn''t want to rely on the Rogue Cultivator Alliance just because of god crystals. Did this fella really think he was a Tier 5 God Pill King? Moreover, to a pill refiner, a few tens of thousands of god crystals wasn''t a huge amount. After entering the Pill Dao Honour Tower, Mo Wuji saw a pill room which was roughly 10 square foot in area. Besides a white jade wall, there was nothing else in the room. The white jade wall was listed with various names of Tier 1 god pills. Behind the names, there was a time limit. There was also some lines of instructions: After concocting the pill, you would need to use the jade vase provided here and inscribe your name on the jade vase. Mo Wuji looked around. After verifying that there weren''t any pill furnaces, god herbs or fires, he casually pressed Nascent True God Pill. The time limit was 2 hours. Soon, a transfer array whirlpool appeared. A few words were written clearly above it: 29 high-grade god crystals. Mo Wuji placed 29 god crystals in the transfer array whirlpool, and soon, several herbs and a jade vase appeared. Previously, Mo Wuji had taken part in the Immortal World''s Pill Dao Tower''s assessment. This method was different from the one back in the Immortal World, but it was similar to the Pill Tower back in Heaven Seeking Palace. The Pill Dao Tower in the Immortal World provided the pill formulas but only the names were provided here. Mo Wuji brought out his pill furnace and his fire. The Nascent True God Pill was the lowest grade among Tier 1 god pills, thus he didn''t even need half an incense''s time to finish the concoction. After sending the Nascent True God Pills into the jade vase, he inscribed the name ''Rogue Cultivator 2705'' on it. Thereafter, he placed the jade vase in the transfer array whirlpool. Mo Wuji was still worried that the High Firmament God Sect was still searching for him. Thus, before he entered Nirvana Learning Academy, he didn''t want to reveal his name. Moreover, the name didn''t matter in this sort of assessment. Thus, he casually used the name of Rogue Cultivator 2705. In less than an incense''s time, a black token landed in front of him. The token wrote: Rogue Cultivator 2705, Tier 1 God Pill Refiner. Following which, a flight of stairs suddenly appeared in front of him. Mo Wuji guessed that the next level was to assess Tier 2 God Pill Refiners. From the looks of it, each pill refiner would be transported into their own individual spaces once they entered the Pill Dao Honour Tower. Chapter 984: Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill Chapter 984: Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations It was as Mo Wuji had predicted; the second floor was also a spacious and empty room. It was just that the names on the wall had changed to the names of Tier 2 god pills. Moreover, the area of the room increased by roughly an entire fold. In the same half an incense''s time, Mo Wuji easily concocted a batch of Rain Storing God Pill and obtained the validation as a Tier 2 God Pill Refiner. Thereafter, he spent one incense''s time on the third level to concoct a batch of Spirit Plundering God Pill and attained the Tier 3 God Pill Refiner validation. Mo Wuji didn''t even take two hours to reach the fourth level. Moreover, this was his slow pace. If he decided to be faster, he could reach the fourth level within an hour. On the fourth floor, there was no difference with the first floor, except the area of the room and the price of the god herbs. On the fourth floor, Mo Wuji chose the Xuan Life God Pill. This was a god pill state could stabilise a person''s dao heart. It was not that hard to concoct. The only inconvenience was that it would take a long time to purify the god herbs. However, to Mo Wuji, this was not a problem; he had always been good at refining god herbs. Although Mo Wuji intentionally slowed down his pace, he still concocted a batch of only 6 high-grade Xuan Life God Pill within an hour. Others spend more time in order to concoct higher quality pills while he spent time so that his pills would be worse. With Mo Wuji''s capabilities, he could definitely concoct a full batch of 9 unique grade Xuan Life God Pill in a much shorter time. However, Mo Wuji didn''t want to cause too much of a stir; he simply wanted a chance to go to Nirvana Learning Academy. After he goes to Nirvana Learning Academy, he would take a look at the Land of Mortals. When he first heard about the Land of Mortals, Mo Wuji had a faint feeling that the Land of Mortals would provide an invaluable help to his Mortal Dao, and this feeling only got more intense as the days passed. It was only until he got a new enlightenment about his Mortal Dao that he discovered that the feeling had weakened significantly. Following his decision to restructure his Undying World, the feeling was no longer as fervent as before. This caused Mo Wuji to suspect that the importance he placed on the Land of Mortals previously might be due to the wrong direction that his Mortal Dao had been going in. Perhaps going to the Land of Mortals would have allowed him to discover that his Undying World should not use external elemental sources, but his own Laws. Although his desire to go the Land of Mortals had weakened significantly, Mo Wuji still decided to make a trip to Nirvana Learning Academy''s Land of Mortals. After all, his Immortal Mortal Technique originated from the Nirvana Learning Academy Land of Mortals, so he could be considered part of its legacy. Moreover, Nirvana Learning Academy was relatively safe for him to stay and raise his powers. Because of this change in attitude, there was no need for Mo Wuji to be too outstanding. He only needed to get validated as a God Pill King and take part in the assessment. That was more than enough. The black token in his hand was now covered with faint gold radiance. Moreover, the words had also changed: Rogue Cultivator 2705, Tier 4 God Pill Master. Mo Wuji was very satisfied as he walked towards the fifth level of the Pill Dao Honour Tower. The fifth floor was the same as the fourth floor, just that it was much bigger. Just as Mo Wuji was prepared to pick an easy Tier 5 god pill, he stared at the white jade wall flusteredly. On the previous levels, there would be the names of various pills on the white jade wall. However, there was only one name on the wall of the fifth level - Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill. Mo Wuji carefully examined the surroundings and confirmed that there weren''t any other names. There was only the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill. In his helplessness, Mo Wuji could only tap on the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill. After tapping the pill name, there wasn''t god crystal price as before. There was only a row of words saying: Inscribe your required god herbs on a jade letter and send it through the transfer array whirlpool. Mo Wuji stopped. Others did not know the pill formula for the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill but he did. Back in the Corner of Yong Ying, he purchased a pill furnace. The Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill Formula was hidden in the furnace. Not only was there the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill, there was also the formula for the Zhi Nature Pill and the Glassy Blood Exchange Pill. He had never used the Glassy Blood Exchange Pill but the Zhi Nature Pill had helped him many times. According to the note on the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill, it was a tierless pill. Now, it actually appeared in the assessment for Tier 5 god pills. Did this mean that the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill was a Tier 5 god pill? However, why would the Pill Dao Honour Tower require the pill refiners to provide the pill formula by themselves? How many people would even have such a pill formula? Mo Wuji did not believe that every pill refiner was like him and could obtain this pill formula by chance. When he first obtained the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill Formula, be only recognised a small number of the herbs on it. Among those that he recognised, they were all Tier 9 immortal herbs. Now that he was a Tier 5 God Pill King and had obtained the legacy of God Pill King Green Robes, his knowledge towards herbs had increased significantly. Even so, the few herbs that he recognised from the pill formula were the same Tier 9 immortal herbs. One must know that God Pill King Green Robes''s introduction to god herbs included almost all of the god herbs in God Continent which were Tier 6 and below. After obtaining this legacy, he was still only able to recognise those few Tier 9 immortal herbs. The only possibility was that those herbs he did not recognise were all above the Tier 6 god herb level. Since that''s the case, then the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill definitely wasn''t a Tier 5 god pill. If it wasn''t a Tier 5 god pill, then why was it placed here to assess Tier 5 God Pill Kings? The only explanation was that the Pill Dao Honour Tower also didn''t know the pill formula for the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill and they were searching for it. Mo Wuji shook his head, took a final look at the surroundings, then left resolutely. Even if he handed over the pill formula and the other party was able to offer the god herbs, he wouldn''t be able to concoct it. ¡­ The top floor of the Pill Dao Honour Tower. Seeing Mo Wuji turn and leave, a few pill refiners turned and glanced towards one another. A red-faced man dressed in a Yin Yang symbol robes said in displeasure, "Looks like this Rogue Cultivator 2705 also doesn''t know the pill formula of the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill." "Eh, it seems like our judgement is wrong. This kid isn''t the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao." Another person sighed. Sitting at the very top was an old man with a flat nose. He frowned but he didn''t say a word. "Brother Jian, could it be that you have a different opinion?" Seeing this flat nosed elder frown, that red-faced man asked doubtfully. When this red-faced man spoke previously, his words were filled with displeasure. But when he was speaking to this flat nosed elder, his words were filled with respect. This flat nosed elder was called Jian Sha. He was the most powerful pill refiner in Nirvana Learning Academy. He also had another alias - God Pill King Flat Nose. Jian Sha said solemnly, "How long did this person take to go from the first level to the fourth level and obtain the title of a Tier 4 God Pill Master? Not even four hours. This even included the time to choose the pills and to receive the god herbs. The few of your should have delved in the Pill Dao for at least a few hundreds of thousands of years, right. Have you heard of a pill refiner that could concoct four batches of pills in less than half a day? One of the batches was even the Tier 4 Xuan Life God Pill? There''s no need to talk about anyone else. Even I would need half a day just to concoct a batch of the Xuan Life God Pill. My pill concoction pace should be considered fast, right? But this Rogue Cultivator 2705 is multiple times faster than me." A white-faced, clean-shaven old man sighed, "If there''s truly such a fast pill refiner, then he has to be the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao." Jian Sha nodded and said in a low voice, "Dao Friend Zhai''s words are right. With this person''s concoction speed, as well as his herb refinement purity, there''s at least an 80% chance that he''s the heir of the Eternal River Pill Dao. The Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill was created by the Eternal River. As the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao, how could he not know the pill formula of the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill?" "Could it be that the Five Claws Violet Dragon isn''t a Tier 5 god herb¡­" The clean-shaven old man was slightly nervous. This time, before Jian Sha could speak, that red-faced man said, "The Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill is definitely a Tier 5 god pill. According to the incomplete pill formula that we obtained, the herbs needed for the Five Claws Violet Pill were all Tier 5 ones, and they are all extremely rare and valuable ones. Clearly, it''s a Tier 5 god pill." Jian Sha said, "That''s right. It''s indubitable that the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill is a Tier 5 god pill. It''s simple to ascertain whether that Rogue Cultivator 2705 has the pill formula of the Five Claws Violet Dragon Pill. We only need to check whether he''s the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao¡­" "Brother Jian, the Eternal River Pill Dao isn''t the only Pill Dao which has fast concoction speeds. There''s also the Agriculture Emperor of Nirvana Learning Academy''s Land of Mortals¡­" This time, the one speaking was a man with only one arm. From his appearance, he looked very young. It was unknown why his arm wasn''t recovered. Don''t underestimate this person because he didn''t have an arm; he was a reputable God Pill King in Nirvana Learning Academy. He also had a nickname, called God Pill King One-Arm. It was an honour for anyone to obtain his or the God Pill King Flat Nose''s pills. Jian Sha nodded, "That''s right. But after the Agriculture Emperor died those years ago, all his techniques that were passed down, if there were any, were all low levelled ones. As for his legacy, it should have been severed a long time ago. More importantly, while the Agriculture Emperor was fast, his pill quality has always been average. This was because his refinement could not make it. With this Rogue Cultivator 2705''s refinement standard, he definitely isn''t the descendant of the Agriculture Emperor. Caihe, I will leave the investigation of that Rogue Cultivator 2705 to you. If he''s really the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao, then be sure not to alarm him. It''s enough to relay the news back. There''s no need to rush the matter. This Rogue Cultivator 2705 should have come to Nirvana Dao City to take part in the Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. He shouldn''t be leaving for the time being. Now, he''s only a Tier 4 God Pill Master. If he wants to obtain the rights to take part in the assessment, he would need to go to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. You can use the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to pressure him." "Alright," The one-armed youth responded. His name was Shi Caihe. The red-faced man chuckled, "If this kid is really the descendant of the Agriculture Emperor and didn''t obtain the King Title because of our misunderstanding, I guess he would probably turn in his sleep." Chapter 985: Mo Wuji Gives Free Points Chapter 985: Mo Wuji Gives Free Points Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Jian Sha said indifferently, "The God Continent has too many Tier 5 God Pill Kings. These people only got here through large piles of god herbs. Besides wasting god herbs, what use to they have to the Pill Dao of the God Continent? However, this Rogue Cultivator 2705 seems to have some skill with refining god herbs. If it is proven that he isn''t the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao, then we can have him join my Nirvana Learning Academy''s Pill Sea." "If it''s verified that this person isn''t the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao, I will definitely relay the message to this rogue cultivator," Shi Caihe clasped his fists and said. ¡­ Mo Wuji was very disappointed. He was a Tier 5 God Pill King but he couldn''t pass the Tier 5 God Pill King Assessment. With his control over Tier 5 god pills, Mo Wuji could proudly say that the number of people stronger than him in the entire God Continent could be counted in only one hand. Now that he failed the Tier 5 God Pill King Assessment, he was only a Tier 4 God Pill Master. If he wanted to use his Pill Dao to participate in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, then he would really have to go through that rogue cultivator. This was because a Tier 4 God Pill Master needed to go through the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in order to represent the rogue cultivators in the Pill Dao. However, before he entered the Pill Dao Honour Tower, he denied to pay the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. If he went to pay now, the other party might not even accept it. Even if they did accept, he, Mo Wuji, wasn''t going to lower himself to do such a thing. From the looks of it, he needed to go through some other way to participate in the assessment as a rogue cultivator. When Mo Wuji arrived at the first floor of the Pill Dao Honour Tower, he suddenly realised that he hadn''t been transferred out; he had walked out by himself. A familiar person suddenly appeared in Mo Wuji''s line of vision. In fright, Mo Wuji hurriedly lowered his head and increased the fire-type aura around his body. He actually saw High Firmament God Sect''s Elder Ren Fei. This Elder Ren Fei was a God King, and since he was here at the entrance of the Pill Dao Honour Tower, Mo Wuji was sure that Ren Fei had come to find him. Although Mo Wuji walked out of the Honour Tower with a lowered head, Ren Fei still saw him. However, Ren Fei didn''t notice anything. After all, whether it was the looks or the aura, Mo Wuji was completely different from when he was back in High Firmament God Sect. Originally, searching for Mo Wuji was Chi Kun''s mission. It was just that Chi Kun had suddenly accepted a different mission and had left High Firmament God Sect. On the other hand, Yu Chuo, who was familiar with Mo Wuji, said that she was tired and needed to enter seclusion for some time. Yu Chuo''s status wasn''t ordinary. If she wasn''t willing to do something, even the sect head couldn''t force her. This matter could only be left to Ren Fei, who had met with Mo Wuji only once. Ren Fei could guess that Chi Kun wasn''t willing to search for Mo Wuji because the two had some good relations. Moreover, Chi Kun probably felt that he had let Mo Wuji down. However, Ren Fei didn''t mind. After all, he also recognised Mo Wuji. However, he didn''t know that Chi Kun and Yu Chuo had concealed one fact from him, that was Mo Wuji had already been in disguise before he came to High Firmament City. Even the Mo Wuji that went to High Firmament God Sect had been in disguise. Even though Ren Fei was a God King and had great acumen, he wouldn''t be able to recognise Mo Wuji at first glance. "Eh, you''re out quick? It hasn''t even been four hours, and you didn''t even get transferred out. Could it be that you didn''t take part in the assessment?" The yellow robed cultivator waiting outside the Pill Dao Honour Tower exclaimed when he saw Mo Wuji walk out. "I was curious about the Pill Dao Honour Tower, so I simply went in to take a look, can''t I?" With that, Mo Wuji turned and left. He didn''t want to stay here any longer. The yellow robed man frowned as he looked at Mo Wuji''s disappearing back. That wasn''t right. Those that failed in the Pill Dao Honour Tower would be transferred out. How could this fella have walked out? ¡­ Mo Wuji passed by the Equipment, Array and Talisman Dao Honour Towers but he didn''t enter them. Besides being a Tier 4 God Array Master, he was ordinary in the other Daos. His Talisman Dao, in particular, was very weak. He could only craft a Grade 1 God Talisman at the very most. So after he failed with the Pill Dao, it wasn''t possible for to obtain other King Titles to get into Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. Mo Wuji had yet to decide whether he should pay a visit to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance; he was going back to discuss with Chi Bing. After all, Chi Bing was a God King; she would be more experienced with dealing with such matters. A mist of blood suddenly exploded in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hurriedly reacted and retreated backwards. Unknowingly, he had walked to the plaza on the left. Another cultivator had been killed and kicked off the stage, and that cultivator happened to explode in front of him. Battle? Mo Wuji stopped. Since he didn''t have many options, shouldn''t he take part in the duel competition? The placings obtained through this could not be faked. After all, this thing was earned through actual ability. "This Dao Friend, may I ask how many placings would be allocated to the duel competition?" Mo Wuji carefully asked a Nascent God beside him. This cultivator saw Mo Wuji''s cautious and respectful attitude and smiled, "Look, do you see that huge screen over there? There are 80 names on the screen. After the duel competition ends, the 80 names left on the screen would automatically represent the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment." "Then how do I get my name on it?" Mo Wuji continued asking. This cultivator shook his head speechlessly. Mo Wuji''s aura was inapparent but he actually wanted to take part in the duel competition? However, this fella still explained, "You only need to inscribe your name on the white jade tablet in front of the screen. Then you will need to fight on the stage. There are 30 duel stages here, and everyone only has one chance to get up on the stage. If you win a battle, you would get one point and wait for someone else to challenge you. When you cannot endure any further, you will either retire or leave the stage through defeat. The names that are on the display screen are those that have won consecutively." "If your points get you on the screen but you suddenly fail on stage. Would your points still be counted?" Mo Wuji asked. "There are two ways you could fail. One way is death. Naturally, you wouldn''t have any points. The second way is defeat without death. When that happens, your points would be reduced by half. If you are still on the board after your points are reduced in half, then your points would be counted." After saying that, this cultivator continued with good intentions, "I say, Dao Friend, it''s best for you not to go up on the stage. Do you know how many Nascent God experts die here every day? On the duel stage, among those that are defeated, few survive. Most of them are killed." "After killing the other party, does the winner get to obtain half of the points of the person he killed?" Mo Wuji was already prepared to go up on the duel stage. He knew that such rules might exist. He couldn''t be bothered to search for them, so why not clarify the rules with a person? "Stop dreaming. Even if you kill the other party, you only get one point." This cultivator said disdainfully. "Many thanks." With that, Mo Wuji walked towards the array screen. Seeing that Mo Wuji actually went ahead to leave his name below the array screen, this cultivator shook his head speechlessly. He had seen people that were seeking death but he had never seen one like Mo Wuji. If it was so easy to obtain a placing to Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, then there would be far more people here. When Mo Wuji reached the array screen, he discovered that there was a red line near the top of the screen. Above the red line, were eight names. "Why are there eight names above the red line?" Mo Wuji muttered to himself. Those eight names don''t seem to have rankings. "Dao Friend should have just arrived at Nirvana Dao City right? Those eight names belong to people that no one dares to challenge. If a person wins a battle and no one dares to challenge him after an entire incense''s time, his name would go above the red line. It doesn''t matter how many points the person in first place gets, those above the red line would definitely represent the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment," A middle-aged cultivator next to Mo Wuji explained. Mo Wuji started but he immediately came to an understanding. Clearly, those eight people were extremely strong, and their actions must have been very vicious. Otherwise, who wouldn''t dare to challenge them in this sort of place. Mo Wuji sighed. How was this a duel stage? This was clearly a slaughter house. With such rules, no one would want to show mercy. However, he needed to go into this slaughter house and play in this slaughter game. It was either he kills someone or someone kills him. Mo Wuji walked to the white jade tablet and inscribed the name ''Rogue Cultivator 2705''. Ever since he stepped on the path towards Dao, there were things that he didn''t want to do but he still had to do them anyway. The name ''Rogue Cultivator 2705'' soon sunk into the white jade tablet and disappeared. No one seemed to care when Mo Wuji inscribed his name. Even though there were many people that didn''t go up on stage, nor had the intentions of doing so, they still inscribed their names. This was because it didn''t matter to them. Perhaps, they might suddenly want to go up on stage. Mo Wuji soon discovered that this was because after each battle ends, cultivators would have scramble up onto the stage. Only the fastest person would get to fight while the rest would get blocked by the seals. Before waiting long, a cultivator was sent flyign off the stage. This time, Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and went ahead of everyone else. In the Nascent God Stage, no one could compare to his Wind Escape Art. The one on the duel stage was a Nascent God Level 9 cultivator. When he saw Mo Wuji land on the stage, he jolted slightly. Mo Wuji''s fire-type aura was faint; clearly, his spiritual roots weren''t very good. The strangest thing was that Mo Wuji didn''t even look like he was in the late Nascent God Stage. A cultivator that wasn''t even in the late Nascent God Stage dared to challenge him on the duel stage? "Dao Friend, please make your move." Mo Wuji clasped his fists, but he didn''t attack. This Nascent God Level 9 cultivator shook his head and said, "Since that''s the case, then prepare for my fist." As he said that, this cultivator didn''t even use his magic treasure. He directly punched towards Mo Wuji. As he released this punch, his Nascent God Domain went into full power, directly sweeping over Mo Wuji. To him, Mo Wuji had come to give him a free point. Chapter 986: Under-The-Table Manipulation Chapter 986: Under-The-Table Manipulation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations A powerful domain surged towards Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. Unfortunately, Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain was too overpowering. Even though Mo Wuji''s opponent was a Nascent God Level 9 cultivator, when their domains met, it was like a stream water crashing against a steel wall. There was no impact on Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. At this moment, Mo Wuji only needed a casual slap to sent this Nascent God Level 9 cultivator off the stage. Mo Wuji sighed. If he actually suppressed a Nascent God Level 9 cultivator so easily, then he would catch the attention of everyone. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji could only helplessly release his whirlpool domain. This Nascent God Level 9 cultivator had never placed Mo Wuji in his ends. However, when he noticed that his domain was like an egg smashing against a rock, his heart tightened. At this moment, if his opponent sent his powerful domain over and attacked him, his little life would be threatened. Even though he knew that he didn''t have time, this Nascent God still hurriedly brought out his magic treasure, a trident. Just as this Nascent God Level 9 cultivator was about to go all out, he suddenly felt that his domain had broken through his opponent''s strange whirlpool domain. His entire body was freed from pressure. This Nascent God celebrated as he concentrated blade lights towards Mo Wuji. This was his strongest sacred art - Spatial Blade Forest. Mo Wuji seemed to struggle as he dodged this Blade Forest. Thereafter, he released a punch. All the cultivators below the stage could see that Mo Wuji''s punch was like a Sun tearing through space. It directly shattered this Nascent God Level 9 cultivator''s body and landed on his body. This Nascent God was directly sent flying. He coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air and he fell heavily off the stage. Mo Wuji used his Domain Crushing Fist because he was portraying himself as a fire-type cultivator. Moreover, his cultivation was clearly not even in the late Nascent God Stage. Thus, he needed to use his best sacred art to send this other Nascent God off the stage. As a fire-type cultivator, his best sacred art would be a fire-type sacred art. Mo Wuji felt constipated as he sent his opponent off the stage. Such a battle truly wasn''t enjoyable. Not only did he have to control his domain, he still had to restrain the power of his Domain Crushing Fist by half. After releasing that punch, he didn''t even need to catch a breath. To keep up his act, he could not help but pop a pill in his mouth. Even though Mo Wuji had concealed half of the power of his Domain Crushing Fist, he still stunned all those below the stage. "What a strong fire-type sacred art. This person''s cultivation isn''t high but he is very strong. That fire-type sacred art is able to activate his fire-type roots to its fullest." Someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock. "If I had such a sacred art, I would dare to go up on stage even if I''m only at Nascent God Level 5." ¡­ Although there were many people discussing Mo Wuji''s powerful sacred art, a short man still came on the stage. He stood right in front of Mo Wuji. This was a cultivator in the peak of Nascent God Level 8. The moment he came up on stage, he slashed towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji naturally dodged it. This Nascent God''s blade was like sprinkler water; it enveloped the entire stage. Those below the stage could only see blade light flashing across the entire stage. At the same time, they could see Mo Wuji jumping left and right within the blade light. After dodging for half an incense''s time, the people below the stage saw Mo Wuji grab an opportunity to release a punch. This was the same fire-filled punch and it had the same might as before. This short cultivator was also sent flying by Mo Wuji. He also coughed out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and fell off the stage. Thereafter, Mo Wuji swallowed a pill. Seemingly noticing that Mo Wuji could only release one attack before he had to eat a pill, multiple cultivators flew towards the stage. Ultimately, a female cultivator snatched the chance. In the following battle, Mo Wuji continued to dodge as the woman attacked. After which, Mo Wuji found an opportunity to release a flame-powered punch and swallow a pill. The same punch, the same flame, the same result of being sent flying off the stage. After four hours, everyone around Mo Wuji''s stage knew what kind of act Mo Wuji was. A fire-type Nascent God Level 6 cultivator. His spiritual roots were considered not bad; at least everyone could sense his fire-type aura. This cultivator only had three moves. The first move was to dodge his opponent''s attack. Then, he would seize an opportunity to release his second move, a fire-type punch. Then, his third move was to swallow a pill and recover. The key move was his fire-type sacred art. No one on the stage was able to dodge it. Even so, cultivators still rushed towards his stage without end. Until now, no one had been killed on Mo Wuji''s stage. This was rarely seen. In fact, it was simply a miracle that no one had been killed after more than ten consecutive battles. However, everyone thought it was expected. This was because Mo Wuji''s method was too singular and his cultivation was too low. This was a Nascent God Level 6 cultivator that had to avoid all his opponent''s move before finding a chance to release a punch. Clearly, it wasn''t possible for him to have much killing power. The sunlight was still out as Mo Wuji won 28 battles in a row. On the screen, it showed that the points of the last placed person was 29. Mo Wuji guessed that he only needed to win two more battles before his name would appear on the array screen. "This person shouldn''t be able to last much longer. Look, his fire-type sacred art seems to be getting increasingly weaker. Moreover, it seems like he takes a longer time to find an opportunity to attack." "The main reason should be because this person eats too many elemental energy restoring pills. Even the best pills have pill poison. If he doesn''t remove them soon, it would clog his spirit channels and affect his elemental energy and spiritual will. It would also have a huge impact on his cultivator." "But what can he do besides take pills? If you were a Nascent God Level 6 cultivator that could only use one sacred art, would you have any other way to win continuously?" "I feel that in such a competition, pills shouldn''t even be allowed. It''s cheating." ¡­ The discussions below the stage had no impact on Mo Wuji. By now, Mo Wuji had already won his 29th battle. Even though his name still wasn''t on the screen, he knew that if he won the next round, his name would definitely appear. If he could, Mo Wuji really wouldn''t have eaten these pills made from pure peak-grade Green Dew Rice. In his perspective, rice should be cooked in order to be enjoyed. He was only wasting it. But if he didn''t eat them, how could he win consecutively as a Nascent God Level 6 cultivator? "This person should be an arrow at the end of its flight. I will get rid of him." A fierce-looking man snorted coldly and stepped onto the stage. The moment he stepped on the stage, his powerful domain directly locked onto Mo Wuji. The strength of a Great Circle Nascent God was revealed. As Mo Wuji got swept into this domain, he immediately looked sluggish and his movement seemed to feel forced. "Little kid, you actually dare to spoil my Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s business. Die for me¡­" This fierce-looking man snorted harshly. A sawtooth blade cleaved strongly down towards the sealed Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji ''struggled'' to escape, but this person''s domain seemed to be too strong as it directly trapped Mo Wuji from taking any actions. Mo Wuji asked with a look of fluster, "I came here according to the rules. How have I spoiled the Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s business? I''m also a rogue cultivator." This fierce-looking cultivator said in a soft voice, "Kid, I will let you be a ghost without remorse. My Rogue Cultivator Alliance had already decided on who would obtain the placings. A mere rogue cultivator ant like you actually dares to covet the placings. Die for me¡­" This fella was a rogue cultivator too, so why did he have to call a rogue cultivator an ant? In an instant, Mo Wuji came to an understanding. Many of the battles should be faked. The Rogue Cultivator Alliance should have arranged for some seeded players to influence the points. There would actually be cultivators that went up to give away points. On the other hand, those that don''t know of the matter like him would be soon be killed. No wonder why among the 80 placings, the first place had more than a 100 points while the worst one had 29 points. Even the strongest Nascent God cultivator would have difficulties winning 100 battles in a row, right? Mo Wuji did not believe that every Nascent God was like him and cultivated meridians instead of spirit channels. Moreover, he had 108 meridians, among which were three spirit storage channels. He also had a violet lake inside his sea of consciousness. From the looks of it, those representing the Rogue Cultivator Alliance in the Nirvana Learning Academy would actually be those from big sects or clans. Rogue cultivators were still rogue cultivators. They were exactly as this fierce-looking man had said - ants. This was a true under-the-table manipulation. Mo Wuji sighed. Whether it was the Honour Towers or the due competition, there didn''t seem to be fairness and justice. He realised how laughable his previous idea of sparing his ''fellow'' rogue cultivators was so laughable. Since that''s the case, then he would kill. Those that wanted his, Mo Wuji''s, life, would have to pay with their own. Previously, he didn''t want people to notice him. Now, he couldn''t care any further. Fear the wolf in front and the tiger at the back had never been his personality. The sawtooth blade had already reached Mo Wuji''s head. The previously trapped Mo Wuji seemed to activate some secret technique. His figure suddenly flashed and he released a punch. "Bang!" The big man that acted against Mo Wuji was sent flying with that punch. Everyone gasped at Mo Wuji''s actions, impressed with his act of dodging the sawtooth blade. However, no one was worried for that fierce-looking man. This was because everyone knew that Mo Wuji''s attack lacked killing power. At the most, he would cough out blood and get off with light injuries. But at the very next instant, everyone was shocked. When that fierce-looking man was sent off the stage, his entire body exploded into a mist of blood. Just as his primordial spirit emerged, it was covered in flames and it disappeared without a trace. This was true extinguishing of a soul. Chapter 987: Rogue Cultivator Alliance Chapter 987: Rogue Cultivator Alliance Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The hearts of all the spectators went cold. Since when did this fire-type Nascent God get so powerful? Soon, most of them understood what was going on. Previously, this cultivator had been showing mercy. But this time, because the other party came in wanting his life, this Nascent God decided to be vicious. The crowd momentarily went silent. The previous scene of someone rushing up onto the stage temporarily disappeared. Mo Wuji had actually killed a person that was half a step into the Heavenly God Stage with a single punch. That act had left everyone transfixed. At the moment, no one dared to challenge him. However, this did not last for long. A grey robed cultivator at the Great Circle of Nascent God Level 9 went up on stage. After he stepped onto the stage, he didn''t say a word. He simply shot his magic treasure towards Mo Wuji. Killing intent filled the entire stage. Although the stage had seals, the cultivators by the side of the stage could still feel it. This cultivator was clearly determined to kill Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji still intentionally dodged a few of his opponent''s attacks before releasing a punch. Without exception, this grey robed cultivator was sent flying out of the stage. This time, no one looked at Mo Wuji, but at the grey-robed cultivator. Indeed, this grey robed cultivator exploded in mid-air and faced complete soul extinguishment. All the spectators started to engage in discussions. No one continued believing that Mo Wuji was a Mr Nice Guy. Almost everyone could see that this rogue cultivator was enraged. The next to go up on stage would definitely face the same outcome of soul extinguishment. An incense''s time passed but no one dared to challenge Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji saw that his name went from the bottom of the screen to the 9th one. He had ended up above the red line. Now that the placing was safely in his hands, Mo Wuji lightly stepped off the stage and disappeared. Mo Wuji didn''t regret showing mercy in his first 20 to 30 battles. He knew that it wasn''t because he killed two people in a row that no one dared to challenge him now. Instead, it was because he won 29 times consecutively without killing anyone. This let everyone know that he had the ability to kill 29 people in a row. It was just that he didn''t choose to do it. It was the combined act of sending 29 people off the stage and killing 2 which caused others not to dare to challenge him. Now, even an idiot could see that he was showing mercy previously and he was no longer doing so. If anyone still dared to challenge him, they would really be courting death. ¡­ After Mo Wuji left the plaza, he directly headed to where the assessment jade tokens were being distributed. He knew that those with King Titles could directly come and collect their jade tokens. Even though he didn''t have a King Title, he was a person that was above the red line on the Rogue Cultivator Duel Competition. According to the rules, cultivators above the red line would automatically get a placing to Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. "You are not a King Title holder. Although you have obtained a placing for the assessment, you would need to collect your jade token from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance." The cultivator at the distribution site was a middle-aged woman at the late Heavenly God Stage. She spoke coldly after understanding Mo Wuji''s situation. Mo Wuji''s heart sunk. He didn''t want to deal with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Clearly, some of the people in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance were being controlled. These people put on the pretence of a rogue cultivator, but in reality, they were doing underhand and shady deals. However, he was truly too weak. Besides going to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he had no other options. In Nirvana Dao City, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance might be called an alliance but it couldn''t hold a candle against big sects and huge family clans. The Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s encampment wasn''t very big; they only occupied one floor of Nirvana Dao City''s Affairs Guild. "Pill Master Mo¡­" Just as Mo Wuji reached the Affairs Guild, a voice suddenly called out to him. Mo Wuji turned and saw that it was actually Minor High Firmament Sect''s Sect Head Xi Lingru. Xi Lingru was dressed in brown robes and he approached Mo Wuji smilingly. Mo Wuji hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I truly didn''t think that I would meet the sect head in Nirvana Dao City." Xi Lingru eagerly said, "Pill Master Mo, I have specially come to find you." Mo Wuji could guess that Xi Lingru was probably here due to the peak-grade Green Dew Rice. However, he did not mind. His relationship with Xi Lingru was not bad, and it was unlikely that Xi Lingru would lay hands on him here, much less expose the fact that he could grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice. Moreover, he wasn''t a person without backing anymore; he had Chi Bing with him. Don''t underestimate Chi Bing because she was only at God King Level 1; she was definitely one with explosive combat power. Noticing the look of amazement on Mo Wuji''s face, Xi Lingru hurriedly formed a sound-inhibiting seal around them, "I came here to thank you for your generous gifts. Also, I thought that Pill Master Mo would come to participate in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, so I specially came here to wait for you. Oh right, I wanted to give this to Pill Master Mo." As he said that, Xi Lingru handed Mo Wuji an ancient-looking book. Mo Wuji flipped open the book and three words greeted him - Grand Array Dao. A gift of an array book? What''s the meaning of this? Mo Wuji looked at Xi Lingru in doubts. He didn''t tell anyone in Minor High Firmament God Sect that he was skilled in the Array Dao. Xi Lingru hurriedly explained, "I only recently came to know that Pill Master Mo was also an Array Master. Before I came, I went to kill Guang Ting just for Pill Master Mo." Mo Wuji wasn''t an obtuse person. The moment he heard Xi Lingru''s words, he came to an understanding. Clearly, Xi Lingru knew that he had killed Guang Zhi. He, himself, was a Grade 4 Array Master but he still requested for the help of an elder of Minor High Firmament Sect to help him install a Grade 4 defensive array. It would be strange to not notice that things were strange. With Xi Lingru''s capabilities, Xi Lingru only needed to investigate slightly to understand that his motive was to kill Guang Zhi. Guang Zhi was at Nascent God Level 7. He, Mo Wuji, was actually able to kill Guang Zhi without anyone noticing it. This showed that he was much stronger than Guang Zhi. Since Mo Wuji was much stronger than Guang Zhi, was proficient in the Pill and Array Dao, and was even a master at growing Green Dew Rice, it would be weird if he didn''t want to participate in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. Mo Wuji kept the Grand Array Dao, then he clasped his fists, "Sect Head, Guang Zhi tried to act against me, so I had to be ruthless. As a result, I damaged Minor High Firmament Village''s defensive array. I seek the sect head''s forgiveness." Mo Wuji confessed honestly. Xi Lingru chuckled, "Pill Master Mo, if I cared about such a minor incident, I wouldn''t have killed Guang Ting before coming here." After saying that, Xi Lingru continued in a low voice, "I previously saw High Firmament God Sect''s Elder Ren Fei at the Pill Dao Honour Tower. You need to be careful of him." Mo Wuji nodded, "Rest assured Sect Head. Besides Chi Kun and Yu Chuo, no one else knows of my current disguise. Ren Fei shouldn''t be able to find me." Xi Lingru uttered in praise, "Pill Master Mo''s future is sure to be bright. I have always wanted Minor High Firmament Sect to be independent from High Firmament God Sect, then come to High God Land. Unfortunately, my abilities and knowledge are limited. So, I could only dream of such things." "Sect Head, you have earned a friend in me. If I enter into Nirvana Learning Academy, if there''s anything that I can help Sect Head Xi in, you only need to ask me." Mo Wuji knew that Xi Lingru''s purpose here was to befriend him. Xi Lingru was not bad; he had come to Nirvana Dao City from Minor High Firmament Sect. Clearly, he was extremely sincere. Moreover, Xi Lingru had even revealed his dream of wanting to be independent from High Firmament God Sect. He was truly here to befriend Mo Wuji. Xi Lingru chuckled, "Lil Pal Mo, my heart is reassured with those words of yours. If you don''t mind that I''m far older than you, you can directly call me Brother Ru." Mo Wuji naturally didn''t mind. Although Xi Lingru was a sect head and a God King, he was also a sect head. Moreover, he was a God Pill King. In terms of status, he was definitely not lower than Xi Lingru. "Wuji, where are you going now? I really want to request your help with something." Xi Lingru went straight to the point. Mo Wuji did not mind. He disliked people that went around the bush. Moreover, he had already guessed that Xi Lingru was here because of the peak-grade Green Dew Rice. "I just participated in the Rogue Cultivator Duel Competiton and I won a placing for the assessment. I''m now headed to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance to collect a jade token for the assessment," Mo Wuji said honestly. "Alright, I will follow you." Xi Lingru did not hesitate to say. After which, he asked smilingly, "Pill Master Mo, exactly what is your cultivation? The last time I saw you, your aura was inapparent, your spiritual roots quality was bad and your cultivation was in the early Nascent God Stage. How is it that in this short period of time, your spiritual roots quality has become not bad and you have become a fire-type cultivator as Nascent God Level 6?" Mo Wuji smiled, "I have an impressive sacred art which is able to do all this. Come, let''s go to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance." Seeing that Mo Wuji wasn''t willing to share much about it, Xi Lingru knew not to ask any further. If Mo Wuji was really a simple person, he wouldn''t have been able to cultivate both the Pill and Array Dao, nor could he have easily killed late-stage Nascent Gods. It was even less likely that he could have obtained a placing in the cruel Rogue Cultivator Duel Competition. Xi Lingru didn''t know the rules of the competition, so he also didn''t know how Mo Wuji obtained a placing. ¡­ Mo Wuji and Xi Lingru arrived at the 7th floor of the Affairs Guild. They saw three relatively majestic words - Rogue Cultivator Alliance. "I will wait here for you. You can go in and handle your matters." Xi Lingru didn''t choose to enter. Mo Wuji knew what Xi Lingru was thinking. Xi Lingru probably knew that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was slightly shady. Xi Lingru should be worried that he was doing to engage in some deal with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, so he chose to stay outside.] There was only a spiritual will inhibiting seal on the entrance to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance; it didn''t stop people from going in. After Mo Wuji walked past the seal, he saw a large, round-shaped hall. In front of him, Mo Wuji saw a huge array screen. The placings of the duel competition were on the screen; the name Rogue Cultivator 2705 was still above the red line. "Do you have any business here?" A female cultivator at the early Heavenly God Stage stopped Mo Wuji from coming in any further and she asked warily. If this was before, Mo Wuji would be very confused. It was natural for rogue cultivators to come to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Why was there a need for her to be so wary? But now, Mo Wuji thought that this was normal. This was a place where under-the-table deals were dealt. It was just that they hung the signboard of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Mo Wuji didn''t waste any words. He simply pointed to the large array screen and said, "I am Rogue Cultivator 2705. I just obtained a placing to Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment and I am here to collect my jade token." Hearing that Mo Wuji was here to collect a jade token, this female cultivator didn''t even say a word. She immediately tapped the starlight image on her wrist. Chapter 988: Making A Move Chapter 988: Making A Move Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji felt the entire space around him releasing light cracking sounds. Immediately, his vision and spiritual will were sealed within this round shaped hall. If not for his spirit storage channel, he wouldn''t even be able to release any spiritual will. An extreme sense of pressure came over him; Mo Wuji suddenly felt an intense sense of fear. Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 God Array Master after all. He was soon able to understand what was going on; he had been trapped in an array. This array was very high in grade. It should be a Grade 5 imprisonment array. His heart pounded rapidly; he even felt an intense urge to try and charge out. This was all because this was a powerful imprisonment array. As time passed, this urge got stronger, strong to the point where he felt suffocated. This suffocation wasn''t due to a lack of breath. Instead, it came from his entire body. This even caused Mo Wuji to have a rash impulse. He wanted to kill this female cultivator, then immediately charge out of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Before he came here, Mo Wuji already knew that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was a shady place. However, he never thought that it would dare to use an imprisonment array here. If this matter was revealed, it would definitely face the wrath of the Nirvana Learning Academy. It might not even be impossible for the entire Rogue Cultivator Alliance to be exterminated. Mo Wuji truly wondered where this Rogue Cultivator Alliance got the guts to actually do such a thing. Mo Wuji went on guard but he didn''t do anything else. He believed that if the Rogue Cultivator Alliance could simply kill him just like this, then Nirvana Dao City wouldn''t have earned its reputation as the safest place in the entire God Domain. Even if the Rogue Cultivator Alliance and Nirvana Dao City were in cahoots, they still wouldn''t be so brazen. Moreover, it was more probable that there were a minute few that were corrupted. To be honest, Mo Wuji didn''t even place this early-stage Heavenly God woman in his eyes. He also knew that if the Rogue Cultivator Alliance wanted to lay hands on him, then they definitely wouldn''t have sent this woman alone. As Mo Wuji went on guard, his 108 meridians instantly formed a great major circulation path. A cooling sensation came from the violet lake in his sea of consciousness. Soon, this sensation spread to his breath scattering channel. After passing through his breath scattering channel, that suffocating pressure weakened significantly and his impulse to attack disappeared. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He secretly used his spirit storage channel to activate a recording crystal ball, and at the same time, he stared at calmly at the woman. After waiting for more than ten breaths of time and realising that Mo Wuji didn''t have any intentions of attacking, the female cultivator asked coldly, "Are you actually Rogue Cultivator 2705?" Mo Wuji remained calm, "That''s right, I''m Rogue Cultivator 2705. I earned a placing for Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment back in the Rogue Cultivator Duel Competition and I''m here to collect my jade token." "Let me first verify this information before I can allow you to collect the jade token. Wait here for a moment." This female cultivator got anxious. According to what she was told, Mo Wuji should have panicked and tried to attack her. "Alright." Mo Wuji answered. After which, he frowned and said, "Why is it that things were normal when I first came in. But after you pressed the star diagram on your wrist, I felt a heavy pressure? It even caused me to feel unsettled? I have clearly showed respect to you and the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. However, I actually felt the impulse to attack. What was going on?" The female cultivator looked at Mo Wuji blankly. This wasn''t the first time she did such a thing. Usually, the other party would try to attack her and she would immediately get rid of the imprisonment array. That way, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance would be in the right and there was no need for them to go through Nirvana Dao City to deal with the attacker. Even if the attacker didn''t actually lay hands on her, the mere act of trying to do so would allow her Rogue Cultivator Alliance without needing to inform Nirvana Dao City. After all, for such a small matter, why would anyone want to think too much about it? Mo Wuji was the first cultivator that managed to withstand the pressure and even asked about it. "It should be because you''re still nervous after coming out from the Duel Competition. How about this, you can place your hand into the groove and it would verify your identity." The female cultivator casually responded to Mo Wuji''s questions, then she pointed towards a hand-shaped groove under the array screen. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate. He directly walked towards the groove and placed his hand it. He saw this groove the moment he entered. If there was something with this groove, then the Rogue Cultivator Alliance definitely wouldn''t have displayed it so publicly. The female cultivator looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. Mo Wuji seemed so cautious previously but why didn''t he ask any questions about the groove? If Mo Wuji had asked questions, she would have berated him and instigated him to attack her. Now that Mo Wuji was so obedient, she didn''t have the chance to do so. Just as Mo Wuji placed his hand on the groove, an empty frame appeared. The female cultivator hurriedly said, "Please write the words, Gou Zongcai, on the chart." Mo Wuji jolted. Gou Zongcai was clearly a name. This frame appeared due to his hand imprint, so why did he have to write the name Gou Zongcai? "Hurry, I don''t have much time to spend with you." The female cultivator''s voice was lined with a hint of impatience. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to write ''Rogue Cultivator 2705''. What kind of thing was Gou Zongcai? He was naturally going to write his own name. "Kacha!" Just as Mo Wuji wrote his name, a jade token fell out. Mo Wuji hurriedly scanned the jade token with his spiritual will, and after verifying that the name on it was his, he swept it up and kept it. The name written on the chart would result in the jade token belonging to that person. This showed that there was a huge BUG and even an idiot would know what this BUG was. Since everyone knew about it and this BUG still existed, what did that mean? Although Mo Wuji''s actions were swift, they were not fast enough to get past the female cultivator''s eyes. When she saw that Mo Wuji didn''t write Gou Zongcai but Rogue Cultivator 2705, her face instantly changed. She immediately pressed the communication bead on her wrist. A door suddenly appeared in the round-shaped hall and two figures appeared. One of them beloned to a big and tall man in grey robes. His eyes were slightly thin. Even though he didn''t use his aura to place pressure on Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could tell that this man was a God king. Beside this God King, was a woman who had a figure that could invite disaster. Mo Wuji could clearly discern this woman''s cultivation; she should be in World God Level 6. "You are Rogue Cultivator 2705? You''re not bad. You only killed two people but you obtained a placing for the assessment." The moment that tall God King came in, he asked Mo Wuji a question. However, he did not wait for Mo Wuji to answer before he continued speaking. "That''s right," Mo Wuji said indifferently, "Now that I have collected my jade token, can I go?" "No hurry." This God King said coldly, "Your cultivation technique is rather impressive." Mo Wuji understood what he was saying. Ordinary Nascent Gods definitely couldn''t resist the pressure from the imprisonment array. He, however, managed to easily do so. "If I tell you that I can kill you right now and no one would know about it, would you believe me?" This God King continued coldly. Mo Wuji''s heart skipped a best and he hurriedly severed his spirit storage channel''s connection to the recording crystal ball. If this God King placed pressure on him, then his recording would definitely be discovered, even if he was using his spirit storage channel. Previously, he didn''t need to fear that female Heavenly God cultivator. However, a God King was an existence that could kill him with a single slap. Moreover, Mo Wuji did not care to assume that Nirvana Dao City would stand up for a Nascent God that was killed by a God King. "I believe the Nirvana Learning Academy¡­" As Mo Wuji was speaking, he suddenly released a sacred art. His target was that female Heavenly God cultivator. Seeing Mo Wuji use a sacred art, that God King wasn''t astonished, but elated. This kid had finally made a move. As long as Mo Wuji was the one who initiated the attack, then things would be much simpler. Mo Wuji had no other choice but to make a move. If this God King went first, he wouldn''t even have a chance to do anything. "Kacha!" On the surface, Mo Wuji looked like he was attacking that female Heavenly God. But in reality, he was actually attacking the array core of the door. The seals on the door were instantly blasted apart. However, it wasn''t due to Mo Wuji, but Xi Lingru. Xi Lingru had been waiting outside the entire time. The moment he noticed some elemental ripples, he did not hesitate to rip apart the seals and charge into the round shaped hall. When he saw Xi Lingru, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Although Xi Lingru had a motive for befriending him, Xi Lingru was still a person worth befriending. One must know that ripping open the seals of Rogue Cultivator Alliance without a valid reason was a huge crime. Moreover, Xi Lingru didn''t know that he had the crystal ball as evidence. God King? The moment Xi Lingru entered, that tall God King''s eyes turned serious. He instantly stopped his actions. "Sect Head Xi, what''s the meaning of this? While my Rogue Cultivator Alliance is formed from rogue cultivators, we are not a place that could be casually intruded." This God King recognised Xi Lingru and knew that Xi Lingru was the sect head of Low God Land''s Minor High Firmament Sect. He also knew that Xi Lingru was at God King Level 4, one level higher than him. Before Xi Lingru could say anything, an oppressive pressure surged in from the window. Immediately, a red robed cultivator landed in Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s round shaped hall. "Who dares to cause a ruckus here?" The red robed man''s eyes swept across the group. On his chest, there were words: Nirvana Dao City Enforcer. After asking that question, this red robed man threw out a flying messenger sword. This red robed man''s cultivation was only at the intermediate World God Stage. Mo Wuji guessed that he probably asked for help after seeing that there were two God Kings here. That tall God King clasped his fists and said, "Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s Luo Yu greets Enforcer Fu. This puny Nascent God actually dared to make a move within my Rogue Cultivator Alliance and his companion actually tore open my defensive array. I believe that this puny Nascent God probably thinks that he could do anything because he has the backing of a God King." Chapter 989: Responding Calmly Chapter 989: Responding Calmly Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Sect Head Xi, it''s enough that a Nascent God is ignorant. However, you are a sect head and a God King. To actually attack the defensive array of my Rogue Cultivator Alliance, isn''t that too unreasonable?" Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s God King Luo Yu first addressed the red-robed enforcer, then turned to denounce Xi Lingru. Xi Lingru turned to look at Mo Wuji. With Mo Wuji''s performance back at Minor High Firmament Village, Xi Lingru didn''t believe that Mo Wuji didn''t have something up his sleeves. "What exactly happened here? Who was the first one to make a move?" A stern voice resounded. Thereafter, another two figures landed. The moment the two landed, Mo Wuji could tell that there were both God Kings. Moreover, neither of them were weaker than Xi Lingru. He could only sigh emotionally in his heart. The Nirvana Learning Academy was truly strong. Not only did they respond fast, they had as many God Kings as vegetables; they were able to send two just like that. In God Domain, having two God Kings in the sect would make it a top-class one. Mo Wuji didn''t know that there were only three God King enforcers in the entire Nirvana Dao City. These two of them represented 66% of their God King strength. The reason for Nirvana Dao City''s strength wasn''t from the strength of the city enforcers but Nirvana Learning Academy. If you committed a crime here, it wouldn''t matter how strong you are. You wouldn''t be able to escape punishment. One reason was that Nirvana Dao City''s defensive array was a Tier 6 god array. Even a God King wouldn''t be able to easily break through it. Mo Wuji rushed to take the initiative. He respectfully bowed towards the two green-robed God Kings and that red-robed enforcer. Thereafter, he did not hide anything, nor exaggerate anything, as he explained the situation. "Your Rogue Cultivator Alliance actually dared to install an imprisonment array here to control the placings?" A green-robed God King stared at Luo Yu. The two of them stood upright and oppressed Luo Yu with their auras. "A bunch of bullshit." Luo Yu''s voice seemed to be shaking in anger. He pointed at Mo Wuji and scolded harshly, "It''s true that the management of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is not united. Previously, that cultivator that asked you for god crystals was indeed a proof our my Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s poor management. However, you cannot use that as a reason to use the support of a God King to cause a ruckus here, right? If not for the enforcers, do you think that I would spare your life? Moreover, how is this an imprisonment array? The two God King enforcers can take a look. This is an ordinary defensive array." Luo Yu simply wanted to kill Mo Wuji a thousand times over. This should have been a simple affair but this kid blew it up. "Your balls are rather big, to actually dare to speak off the cuff here." Before the two God Kings could say anything, that red-robed World God enforcer was first to berate Mo Wuji. From the way he positioned himself, it looked as though he would immediately attack Mo Wuji as long as the two God Kings gave the word. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that this red-robed enforcer was in cahoots with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. He clasped his fists towards the two green-robed God Kings and said, "These two Senior Enforcers, this junior has some understanding towards the Array Dao. It''s very simple to instantly turn an imprisonment array into an ordinary defensive array, even this junior is able to do it." One of the green-robed God Kings waved his hand at Mo Wuji and said coldly, "If that''s all that you can say, then it''s not enough evidence. Follow us back to Nirvana Dao City''s Enforcement Hall, we will conduct a soul search on you. This is because a mere Nascent God like you dared to offend a God King expert." Mo Wuji''s heart sunk. He didn''t think that fairness was relative here. He immediately took out a crystal ball and activated it, "Senior Enforcers, please take a look at the recordings in my crystal ball." Seeing Mo Wuji take out the crystal ball, Luo Yu''s heart also felt like it had sunk into a pool of ice. He truly couldn''t fathom how Mo Wuji was able to record in a crystal ball. After all, spiritual will was sealed here and Mo Wuji would need to use spiritual will to activate the recording crystal ball. Unfortunately, he didn''t dare to say that this crystal ball was fake, nor did he dare to destroy this crystal ball. The two God King enforcers could tell the authenticity of the recording even with their eyes closed. Mo Wuji being trapped by the imprisonment array, Mo Wuji''s follow-up questions and even Luo Yu''s claim that he would kill Mo Wuji were all reflected clearly in the crystal ball. That green-robed enforcer looked at the crystal ball, then turned to stare at Luo Yu, "Do you have anything else to say?" Luo Yu''s face turned pale. If this was anywhere else, he would have immediately fled. However, this was Nirvana Dao City. There was no need to talk about how he was facing two God Kings that were more powerful than him. Even if he was facing a Heavenly God enforcer, he still wouldn''t be able to escape. "I have nothing else to say." If Luo Yu knew that he would fall because of a puny Nascent God, he definitely wouldn''t have taken the risk just for one placing token. It was true that a placing token could fetch him a large number of cultivation resources. But if he was taken away by the God King enforcers of Nirvana Dao City, then it would be very hard for him to come back out. Even if he could come out, he would lose a layer of his skin. As for his personal belongings, there''s no need to take about them. Moreover, it would come at the cost of a huge favour. Luo Yu subconsciously looked at the red-robed enforcer. At this moment, he could only hope that things would get blown up even further. If the matter got aggravated and more people got dragged in, there would be more hope for him. After the red-robed enforcer looked at Mo Wuji''s crystal ball, his expression got warmer. He nodded towards Mo Wuji and said, "You have done well. This can be considered as self-defence. If the Rogue Cultivator Alliance is able to commit such an act, then could they have done other things? When you participated in the Rogue Cultivator Duel Competition, did you notice anything amiss?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Answering the enforcer, the stage that I was on was very fair. At least, I didn''t discover anything." This kid is amazing. Luo Yu shot a glance at Mo Wuji. Looking at the expression of righteousness on Mo Wuji''s face, he simply wanted to squash Mo Wuji into juice. If Mo Wuji was able to obtain a placing above the red line, then Mo Wuji must have definitely discovered something. However, this kid actually wasn''t willing to reveal that matter. He was definitely a superb actor. Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. He definitely didn''t believe that this enforcer didn''t know about the misdoings of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. If he still chose to burst this bubble of shit, he would be the first one to get splashed by the shit. "You need to be honest. If I find out that you''re hiding something, then don''t blame me for behaving rudely." The red-robed enforcer did not seem to fear those two green-robed God Kings. He threatened Mo Wuji openly. Mo Wuji said indifferently, "I''m only a mere Nascent God. If there was something going on, then the enforcers would have been able to discover it. If a mere Nascent God like me could discover something after a few matches, then I wouldn''t be a rogue cultivator but a core disciple of a big sect." The red-robed enforcer was left speechless by Mo Wuji''s words. One of the green-robed God Kings said to Mo Wuji and Xi Lingru, "The two of you can leave." After saying that, that green-robed God King conjured a huge elemental hand, grabbing Luo Yu and the two female cultivators. The figures of the God Kings flashed and all of them disappeared. ... After Mo Wuji brought Xi Lingru back to God Joy Resthouse, Xi Lingru started to chuckle, "Wuji, I knew that you would bring out a recording crystal ball. As expected." "I had no other choice. Who asked me to be so weak? This time, I really have to thank Old Brother. If not for your help, I might actually have been off-ed by that bastard." Mo Wuji said helplessly. He was truly helpless. If he was stronger, would he have needed to use that recording crystal ball? When Mo Wuji heard that the Nascent God would be in the wrong in a conflict between a Nascent God and a God King, he knew that he had taken a huge risk previously. If Luo Yu decided to accept the punishments and kill him, then he could only die with remorse. After he got into Nirvana Learning Academy, he would definitely have to raise his power. "Wuji, I believe that you would definitely be able to enter Nirvana Learning Academy. If there''s no need for it, try not to leave Nirvana Learning Academy. I''m sure that Luo Yu would not be executed. At the most, he would be punished before being pulled out by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. At the end of the day, Nirvana Dao City is not Nirvana Learning Academy." Xi Lingru instructed. He, Xi Lingru, was not afraid of Luo Yu. However, this was not the same for Mo Wuji; Mo Wuji was truly too weak. Mo Wuji nodded, "I know. Old Brother should be here for the peak-grade Green Dew Rice?" Xi Lingru smiled, "I knew that I couldn''t hide it from you. I''m truly here because of the peak-grade Green Dew Rice. If it''s possible, I would like 10 catties of Green Dew Rice from you every year. I desperately need it. If you''re lacking any cultivation resources or god herbs, you only need to open your mouth and ask me." Mo Wuji did not hesitate to retrieve a cloth bag and pass it to Xi Lingru, "Old Brother Lingru, here are 20 catties of peak-grade Green Dew Rice. You can take it first. After I settle down in Nirvana Learning Academy, I will grow more Green Dew Rice." "20 catties of peak-grade Green Dew Rice?" Xi Lingru suddenly stood up. Even his hands were trembling. To take out 20 catties of peak-grade Green Dew Rice at a single go. Wasn''t that shocking? Previously, he thought that Mo Wuji could only grow a few catties of peak-grade Green Dew Rice. From the looks of it, his thoughts were too far from the truth. Mo Wuji''s amazingness truly could not be on his scale of imagination. "Wuji, this is?" Chi Bing''s voice sounded. Following which, Chi Bing appeared at the door of Mo Wuji''s room. She could feel that there was a God King expert in the room, so she came over to take a look. Mo Wuji hurriedly said, "Sister Bing, this is Xi Lingru, the sect head of Minor High Firmament Sect. He''s also a friend of mine. Not long ago, he even saved me in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance." After saying that, Mo Wuji introduced Xi Lingru to Chi Bing. Xi Lingru, who was holding tightly onto the bag of Green Dew Rice, suddenly rejoiced at his choice. With Mo Wuji''s performance, if he had tried to use some underhanded means to get to Mo Wuji, then he definitely wouldn''t have gotten a single grain of rice. There was even a God King next to Mo Wuji; he didn''t even know about that. Well, it was to be expected. It was normal for a person like Mo Wuji to befriend a God King. Wasn''t he also a God King? Even he ran all the way from Low God Land just to find Mo Wuji. "Wuji, many thanks. You have helped me greatly." Xi Lingru carefully kept the Green Dew Rice. At this time, a voice suddenly came from the outside, "May I ask if Pill Master Mo is around? Nirvana Learning Academy Pill Sea''s Shi Caihe has come to visit." Chapter 990: Shi Caihe’s Investigation Chapter 990: Shi Caihe¡¯s Investigation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Shi Caihe? Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with doubts. Who was this Shi Caihe? He had never heard of such a person. When Xi Lingru heard the name, a look of astonishment instantly emerged on his face. When he turned to look at Mo Wuji, he immediately knew that Mo Wuji didn''t know of Shi Caihe. He hurriedly explained, "Wuji, Shi Caihe is one of the top God Pill Kings in Nirvana Learning Academy with a cultivation at God King Level 7. He is a renowned figure throughout the entire God Continent." "But I''ve never heard of this man. Why has he come to find me? How does he know that my surname is Mo?" Mo Wuji was truly confused. Back in the Pill Dao Honour Tower, he was only verified as a Tier 4 God Pill Master. He still wasn''t a God Pill King. Moreover, few knew that his name was Mo Wuji. Even fewer would know after he came to Nirvana Dao City. He didn''t really believe that Shi Caihe would have investigated him. How long has it been since he left the Duel Competition? Shi Caihe definitely couldn''t have done an in-depth investigation on him during that short time. Xi Lingru seemed to recall something. Immediately, he said to Mo Wuji apologetically, "It should be because of me." Mo Wuji immediately came to an understanding. He said to Xi Lingru, "It''s not your fault. Moreover, his words have revealed plenty of information. I will release the seal and invite him in. Let''s see what he''s here for." Mo Wuji realised that it should be because of their meeting at Nirvana Dao City''s Affairs Guild . Shi Caihe should have heard his name when Xi Lingru greeted him. Xi Lingru only used a sound-inhibiting seal afterwards. It could be seen that Shi Caihe had been following him. Otherwise, Shi Caihe wouldn''t have paid attention to the conversation between Xi Lingru and him. It could then be further deduced that Shi Caihe had seen his performance during the Duel Competition and had followed him to the Affairs Guild. After Mo Wuji deduced all this, he suddenly felt a cold sensation on his back. He didn''t manage to pass the Tier 5 God Pill King assessment. However, it was clear that Shi Caihe had been following him since the Pill Dao Honour Tower. This fella was a late-stage God King and was even a peak-grade Tier 5 God Pill King. Such a person actually tailed a mere Nascent God like him for an entire day. Mo Wuji could not help but feel worried. However, when an expert like Shi Caihe came to visit, Mo Wuji would naturally have to welcome him. As a show of respect, he also couldn''t use his spiritual will to scan Shi Caihe. After Mo Wuji released the seals, he discovered that it was a young man standing at the door. What shocked Mo Wuji was that this young man didn''t have a right arm. A late-stage God King and a peak-grade Tier 5 God Pill King was actually missing an arm. This was indeed rather peculiar. "Pill Master Mo. Nirvana Learning Academy Pill Sea''s Shi Caihe has presumptuously come to visit you. I hope that I have not interrupted anything." Shi Caihe came in with a smile. His tone was extremely warm and cordial. Mo Wuji thought: Your visit is presumptuous? You have been following me the whole day. However, Mo Wuji knew that the other party shouldn''t have any malicious intent. If not, he would have noticed something a long time ago. "Of course not. To be visited by Senior Shi is junior''s honour. In front of Senior Shi, this junior does not dare to be called a ''Pill Master''. Senior can address me as Junior or directly call me by the name of Mo Wuji." Now that Shi Caihe had reported his name twice, Mo Wuji naturally had to reveal his own name. Xi Lingru also clasped his fists and said, "Minor High Firmament Sect''s Xi Lingru greets Dao Friend Shi." Shi Caihe also clasped his fists in return, "I have long heard of Sect Head Xi''s illustrious name. Now that I finally meet you, it seems like the legends were true." After a few words of courtesy, he followed Mo Wuji into the room. Mo Wuji was sure that Chi Bing knew of Shi Caihe''s visit. Since Chi Bing didn''t come out, Mo Wuji wasn''t going to call her. After Mo Wuji served a few cups of tea, Shi Caihe smiled and said, "Wuji, I actually helped you out today." Shi Caihe truly wasn''t acting overly courteous. He actually addressed Mo Wuji with Mo Wuji''s real name. Seeing Mo Wuji look at him in doubt, Shi Caihe continued, "One of the God King enforcers actually wanted to take you away. However, I transmitted a message to him and he decided to show me some face." Mo Wuji''s heart sunk. He thought that it was his crystal ball which solved the problem. From the looks of it, the problem was far more serious than he had imagined. Even if Shi Caihe didn''t explain any further, Mo Wuji knew that the God King that wanted to take him away should be in cahoots with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. If he was taken away, then one could only imagine how miserable his outcome would be. So what if he had a crystal ball? Those people could even use his bones as soup. Mo Wuji stood up and bowed to Shi Caihe, "Senior, many thanks for your saving grace." Shi Caihe waved his hand, "Calling it a saving grace is too much. With Sect Head Xi there, they wouldn''t really dare to forcefully drag you away. At the very most, Sect Head Xi would have to offend some people." Shi Caihe wasn''t bluffing when he said this. However, this would depend on Xi Lingru''s standpoint. If Xi Lingru was insistent on protecting Mo Wuji, then that intermediate-stage God King wouldn''t really bring Mo Wuji away. But if Xi Lingru didn''t dare to offend the God King of Nirvana Dao City, then Mo Wuji would definitely be taken away. As for whether Xi Lingru would actually offend the God King of Nirvana Dao City for him, Mo Wuji couldn''t be very sure about that. After all, this was not a small matter. If Xi Lingru offended the God King of Nirvana Dao City without reason, then it would make things difficult for his Minor High Firmament Sect. Thus, no matter what Shi Caihe said, Mo Wuji''s gratitude towards Shi Caihe came from the bottom of his heart. "If Senior has any instructions, junior would follow them if it is within my means." Even though he was grateful to Shi Caihe, Mo Wuji was still curious as to why Shi Caihe had followed him for an entire day. Shi Caihe nodded and gestured for Mo Wuji to sit down, "Your dao arts are very strong. I guess that you would be able to win those of a higher stage than you. Few in the Nascent God Stage could even hold a candle to you." Mo Wuji sighed in his heart. This fella had actually followed him for an entire day. As for the exact reason... Mo Wuji''s heart jolted. He finally thought of the reason. This fella clearly noticed him because of his performance in pill concoction. His pills were ordinary but his herb refinement was definitely top-class. Not only that, his pill concoction speed was too fast. Even though he tried to delay himself, his speed was still something that ordinary pill refiners couldn''t compare to. Now that he understood the reason why Shi Caihe followed him, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. A fast concoction speed didn''t mean much. At the very most, it showed that his spiritual will was relatively strong. After all, he wasn''t concocting Tier 5 god pills but those in Tier 4 and below. Mo Wuji sat down and said seriously, "It''s probably because my foundations are much firmer. I have been stuck in the Nascent God Stage for very long." If Xi Lingru and Shi Caihe knew that Mo Wuji''s ''very long'' was ten to twenty years, the two of them would definitely stand up and spit at Mo Wuji''s face. After which, they would point at Mo Wuji''s nose and scold: Can you act cool in some other way? Fortunately, Shi Caihe could only tell that Mo Wuji was very young. With Mo Wuji''s Mortal Dao and his Undying World taking shape, it had already become impossible for a person to discern Mo Wuji''s actual age through the naked eye. Shi Caihe nodded and said sincerely, "Wuji, I have to ask you a presumptuous question. What cultivation technique are you using?" Mo Wuji did not hide anything. The Immortal Mortal Technique originated from Nirvana Learning Academy and his reason for coming here was to visit Nirvana Learning Academy''s Land of Mortals. Thus, there was no reason for him to hide that fact. "This junior cultivates the Immortal Mortal Technique. This time, I want to enter Nirvana Learning Academy so that I can take a look at the Land of Mortals." Mo Wuji answered respectfully. Hearing that Mo Wuji cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique, Shi Caihe felt as though a boulder had been lifted off his shoulders. In reality, after following Mo Wuji for a day, his impression of Mo Wuji was very good. During Mo Wuji''s time in the Duel Competition, he didn''t kill a single person in 29 battles. Eventually, it was because that fierce-looking man tried to kill Mo Wuji which caused Mo Wuji to turn ruthless. It could be seen that Mo Wuji wasn''t a bloodthirsty person. He, Shi Caihe, had a personal rule not to concoct pills for bloodthirsty people. This arm of his had been severed by an expert at the Great Circle of the God King Stage. Because that person was too crazy and bloodthirsty, he rejected to concoct pills for that fella. This was why that person severed his arm. If Mo Wuji was the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao, he could only imagine the miserable outcome which would befall Mo Wuji. Under the hands of Pill Sea''s Jian Sha, he, Shi Caihe, couldn''t do anything to save Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could clearly feel that his words had caused Shi Caihe''s attitude towards him to become warmer. "I wonder if you could show me your cultivation manual?" Shi Caihe asked genially. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to bring out the Immortal Mortal Technique he received from Tian Ji Sect. To other people, asking for one''s cultivation manual was an act of provocation. However, Mo Wuji could tell that Shi Caihe was extremely sincere and only wanted to take a look at the cultivation manual. Shi Caihe emotionally accepted the Immortal Technique. As he flipped to the first page, familiar words appeared in front of him. "After Heaven and Earth opened, elemental energy appeared, resulting in a huge upheaval. The union between Spiritual energy and the Heaven and Earth gave birth to life. Those that are unable to achieve the Dao are deemed as Mortals. I, a Mortal, condense elemental energy and achieve longevity¡­" "This is indeed left behind by the Agriculture Emperor. That''s right, you are cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique. Your luck is amazing; you actually obtained the Immortal Mortal Technique personally written by the Agriculture Emperor¡­" Shi Caihe closed the book and returned it to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not reveal that he didn''t even read the later pages of the book. This was because his Immortal Mortal Technique eventually went on a different path from the book. If Shi Caihe continued to flip through the pages, he would definitely discover that something was amiss. Mo Wuji didn''t know why Shi Caihe wanted to investigate on his Immortal Mortal Technique, so it was best to avoid the trouble. Seeing Mo Wuji carefully and respectfully keep the Immortal Mortal Technique, Shi Caihe casually nodded and asked, "Wuji, have you heard of the Eternal River Pill Dao?" Mo Wuji shook his head blankly, "Is the Eternal River Pill Dao very amazing? I have never heard of it." Chapter 991: Grand Array Dao Chapter 991: Grand Array Dao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Shi Caihe chuckled, "The Eternal River Pill Dao is indeed very amazing. But since you haven''t heard of it, then forgot it. With your capabilities, as long as nothing goes wrong, you should be able to make it into Nirvana Learning Academy. I wonder if you would be willing to join my Pill Sea?" Mo Wuji said slightly apologetically, "Senior, this junior''s purpose in entering Nirvana Learning Academy is to go to the Land of Mortals. To junior, the Pill Dao is something I happened to learn." He did not even ask whether any assessments were needed to enter Pill Sea. "Haha," Shi Caihe chuckled and stood up, "I knew that you should have come because of the Land of Mortals. I have some matters to attend to, so I would be leaving now. In the future, if you need any help in Nirvana Learning Academy, feel free to find me, Shi Caihe." After saying that, Shi Caihe threw Mo Wuji a jade token. His figure flashed and he vanished. Mo Wuji accepted the jade token and bowed to the spot that Shi Caihe disappeared from, "This senior''s impression of me seems to be rather good. He actually left me a jade token." Xi Lingru nodded, "In Nirvana Learning Academy''s Pill Sea, the God Pill King that I admire the most is God Pill King Caihe. He''s jade token is extremely influential. You might actually need it in the future." Mo Wuji naturally knew the value of Shi Caihe''s jade token. However, he didn''t have any intentions of using it. He wasn''t a person to treat the casual words of others as the truth. Even if Shi Caihe truly appreciated his talent, he wouldn''t casually use this jade token. Unless it was a matter which involved his life, this jade token would only be a memento. After Mo Wuji kept the jade token, Xi Lingru said, "Wuji, many thanks for giving me the 20 catties of peak grade Green Dew Rice. Logically, I should stay here and wait for your assessment to end. It''s just that I urgently need to bring these Green Dew Rice back, so I would also have to bid my farewell." Mo Wuji knew that the main reason why Xi Lingru came was the peak grade Green Dew Rice. However, he did not ask Xi Lingru about what he was going to use the Green Dew Rice for. Since Xi Lingru needed to leave, Mo Wuji offered to send him to the entrance of the rest house. After returning to his room and forming the seals, the first thing Mo Wuji did was take out the Grand Array Dao which Xi Lingru gave him. To Mo Wuji, the Array Dao was more important than the Pill Dao. The main reason why his Pill Dao had been advancing so slowly was because he had been exploring on his own. It was true that his Immortal Mortal Technique was suitable for deriving the various Daos but that was only at the beginning. The moment his Dao reaches a certain level, his improvement would slow down significantly. It was the same for his Pill Dao. If he did not obtain the legacy of God King Green Robes, as well as the thousand over Tier 5 god herbs, it would have been extremely difficult for him to step into the God Pill King level. Now, he hoped that this Grand Array Dao that Xi Lingru gave him was not bad, and that it could help his Array Dao take a step forward. If he had been a Grade 5 God Array King, he wouldn''t even have needed Xi Lingru''s help to broke that trap array. The way Mo Wuji looked at it, the Grand Array Dao should be a book elaborating on the Array Dao. He did not hope to learn plenty of array knowledge from this book; he only hoped that he could find a spark of inspiration which could allow him to open his own path to the Array Dao. When Mo Wuji flipped to the first page of the book, he was stunned. How was this a book elaborating on the Array Dao? This was clearly a sacred art, and the name of this sacred art was Grand Array Dao. Soon, Mo Wuji got excited. This sacred art wasn''t an attack-type sacred art. Instead, it was a sacred art which could break through arrays. If a Grade 3 God Array Master could fully control this sacred art, then he could break through a Tier 5 god array within a few breaths of time. If he, a Grade 4 God Array Master, fully mastered the Grand Array Dao, he would have a chance of breaking through a Grade 6 god array even if he didn''t understand anything about Grade 6 god arrays. This was great. Mo Wuji inwardly thanked Xi Lingru. The Array Dao was vast and boundless. As Mo Wuji''s Array Dao got stronger, he became increasingly aware of the might of the Array Dao. If a person was trapped in an array, it didn''t matter how strong he was; he could only wait for his death. It was exactly because of this that Mo Wuji worked hard on the Array Dao. The time he spent on the Array Dao was second only to his time spent on cultivation; it was even longer than the time he spent on the Pill Dao. It was just that the Array Dao was vast and complicated. Even though Mo Wuji spent so much time on it, his Array Dao still fell behind his Pill Dao. Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 God Array Master, so he was quickly able to immerse himself within the Grand Array Dao. All 108 meridians went into circulation, working to derive this Grand Array Dao. ¡­ As Mo Wuji went into secluded cultivation, not a single wave was stirred by the event that happened at Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Only the people inside Rogue Cultivator Alliance knew of the issue. Elder Luo Yu, who had been in charge of the Rogue Cultivator Assessment, had merely been investigated and dispatched to a different place. As for Mo Wuji''s crystal ball and conflict with the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, they also didn''t cause any impact on the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. There wasn''t even a single punishment on the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Luo Yu, who lost his lucrative job as the elder in charge of the Rogue Cultivator Assessment, simply wanted to devour Mo Wuji whole. However, he was helpless since Mo Wuji was holed up in God Joy Resthouse. He could only leave behind a scout; the day that Mo Wuji fails the assessment and leaves Nirvana Dao City would be the die Mo Wuji dies. At the same time, after getting news that Mo Wuji wasn''t the descendant of the Eternal River Pill Dao, Nirvana Learning Academy''s Daoist Flat Nose lost all interest in Mo Wuji. As for Mo Wuji''s decision to not join his Pill Sea, he didn''t even take it to heart. He was actually rather cognizant of the Mortal Dao. The Mortal Dao was restricted by the conditions of Xiantian and it was unable to cause a huge wave. In Jian Sha''s perspective, it was impossible for another genius like the Agriculture Emperor to appear in the Mortal Dao. It was true that the Agriculture Emperor''s pill concoction speed was fast, but that was all to it. There was no other use. Ultimately, a mortal will always be a mortal. ¡­ As he immersed himself in the deduction of the Grand Array Dao, Mo Wuji came to realise how complicated it was. In theory, any God Array Master could learn this sacred art. However, as Mo Wuji learnt more about this sacred art, he finally knew why Xi Lingru threw this sacred art to him. To control the Grand Array Dao, one must at least be a Grade 5 God Array King and have a spiritual will with high explosive power. In an instant, he would need to inscribe thousands of array runes. The more complex the runes were, the more powerful the sacred art would be. Even a God Monarch would find it difficult to have spiritual will with such explosive power. If his spiritual will was weak, then he wouldn''t even be able to break through the array. Perhaps only strong World Gods and God Kings could do it. However, if he was a Grade 5 God Array King with a cultivation of the World God Stage or God King Stage, why would he even need this sacred art? In God Continent, the highest grade of arrays was Grade 6. If a person was a Tier 5 God Array King with a cultivation at the God King Stage, he probably wouldn''t want to spend years learning this sacred art. People would rather spend their time on other things instead of wasting it here. Although Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 God Array Master, he cultivated the Mortal Dao and possessed the dao revelation channel and spirit storage channel. While his spiritual will could not compare to a powerful God Monarch, much less a World God or God King, the explosive power of it was definitely not inferior. This was because he had the spirit storage channel. Not only that, he was skilled at inscribing void array runes. With these factors added together, Mo Wuji didn''t need to be a Grade 5 God Array Master, nor reach the God Monarch Stage in order to deduce the Grand Array Dao. More importantly, Mo Wuji believed that this sacred art would be extremely useful to him. Even if he was a Grade 5 God Array King, it would be difficult for him to break through a Grade 5 god array in a single instant. The Grand Array Dao could help him with that. This sort of sacred art was a form of insurance that could save his life. Throughout his path of cultivation, he had danced along the border between life and death many times. Any form of life-saving methods were extremely attractive to him. A month passed. Although Mo Wuji still wasn''t able to use the Grand Array Dao, he could already inscribe hundreds of array runes in an instant. If he wanted to inscribe one more array rune, he would need to spend more time and effort. To Mo Wuji, learning to control the Grand Array Dao was simply a matter of time. However, Mo Wuji had no other choice but to stop. The time for Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment had arrived. The main reason why he came here was exactly for this assessment. ¡­ Because the assessment wasn''t going to end in just one or two days, Mo Wuji specially instructed Da Huang and Shuai Guo to continue cultivating hard in the rest house. Mo Wuji didn''t even ask Chi Bing and Chi Chuan to follow him. Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment naturally wouldn''t be dangerous. Chi Bing was assured of this fact. As he reached the entrance of the rest house, Mo Wuji saw a change in Nirvana Dao City. Previously, Nirvana Dao City had been brimming with people. But now, there was a new lone path. This path was clearly indicated as the path to Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. "Wait, are you staying in Room 73A?" just as Mo Wuji was about to step onto that path, a male cultivator with a pale-white face blocked his path. This was a fella at Heavenly God Level 9. From his looks, he should have over-cultivated in Yin energy. "I don''t know you." Mo Wuji said calmly, "Please do not delay me." This pale-white man chuckled, "Let me introduce myself. I am Nirvana Learning Academy True God Path''s Zhuo Chuang. I came here to purchase World Bearing Pills from you. State your price." The moment Mo Wuji looked at Zhuo Chuang, he knew that this fella had no intentions of purchasing his World Bearing Pills at a high price. This fella clearly said that he was from Nirvana Learning Academy so that he could take advantage of Mo Wuji. The news of him possessing the World Bearing Pill was definitely leaked by Jin Yongwu. At the same time, Mo Wuji was sure that Jin Yongwu didn''t tell this fella that he had a God King expert with him. "What World Bearing Pill? I don''t know. Make way." Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and he directly brushed pass Zhuo Chuang. He couldn''t be bothered to waste any time on this fella. This fella didn''t even know about the details but he actually came wanting the World Bearing Pill. "Very good. I will just see¡­" Originally, Zhuo Chuang wanted to see how Mo Wuji was going to leave Nirvana Dao City. However, after he saw Mo Wuji''s words, he swallowed his words. Mo Wuji actually had a placing to take part in the assessment? Otherwise, how could he enter the assessment path? Zhuo Chuang''s eyes flashed but he soon calmed down. If Mo Wuji was lucky enough to enter Nirvana Learning Academy, then he would have a chance to screw Mo Wuji. If Mo Wuji couldn''t even enter Nirvana Learning Academy, then he could only wait to die. Chapter 992: First Test: Array Dao Chapter 992: First Test: Array Dao Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Mo Wuji entered the private path, he saw many others coming in one by one. Following this path, Mo Wuji followed the crowd through Nirvana Dao City and arrived at a huge plaza. The plaza was already filled with people. With a quick glance, Mo Wuji estimated that there were at least 10,000 people here. If each sect or factions could only send 10 people, this meant that there were plenty of sects and powers in God Continent. Mo Wuji also knew that only powerful sects and factions would have the rights to participate in this assessment. Those without a high status would only obtain one or two placings or would have to fight for placings with the rogue cultivators. There were several red-robed enforcers around the plaza. A God King stood at the front of the plaza in mid-air without any expressions on his face. Although there were more than 10,000 people in the plaza, it was extremely quiet. No one uttered a sound. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will soon noticed two familiar people, Qu Chendan and Di Jie. The cultivators around them were all from High Firmament God Sect; Mo Wuji saw all of them before. Although he didn''t teach them, he did stand on stage and talked to all of them. After which, his gaze turned to outside the plaza. The outside of the plaza was also filled with people. There was a transparent seal around the plaza. Those outside the plaza couldn''t enter, and similarly, those inside the plaza couldn''t leave. Just as Mo Wuji was about to retract his gaze, he saw two other familiar people. Chi Kun and Yu Chuo were outside the plaza. Just as Mo Wuji''s eyes landed on them, their eyes landed on Mo Wuji. The two of them revealed expressions of disbelief. Don''t simply notice that there were more than 10,000 people in the plaza. In reality, they knew that it was extremely difficult to be part of that 10,000 over people. They did not know what Mo Wuji did to stand in the plaza. "What''s the matter?" The person standing beside Chi Kun was High Firmament God Sect''s Left Firmament Mountain Lord Lao Yu. He immediately questioned Chi Kun when he saw the look of astonishment on Chi Kun''s face. "That¡­" Chi Kun hesitated briefly. However, he still chose to say it, "I saw Mo Wuji in the plaza. He seems to be taking the assessment." "You''re saying that Mo Wuji is here? Why haven''t I seen him?" Ren Fei, who was standing behind them, asked urgently. He had been waiting outside the Pill Dao Honour Tower for several months but he didn''t see Mo Wuji. Chi Kun hurriedly said, "He was in disguise previously." "You¡­" Ren Fei raged. Fortunately, he knew not to rage any further. When Mo Wuji was still in High Firmament City, Chi Kun had asked to leave. Thereafter, he didn''t go and ask Chi Kun about Mo Wuji after Mo Wuji left High Firmament City, so how could he blame Chi Kun? As for Yu Chuo, there was no need to talk about her unique status. When he went off to find Mo Wuji, Yu Chuo had also used the excuse that she was entering seclusion. "Which one is Mo Wuji?" Left Firmament Mountain Lord Lao Yu asked solemnly. In front of the Left Firmament Mountain Lord, Chi Kun did not dare to hide anything. He hurriedly pointed towards Mo Wuji. Lao Yu nodded and said slowly, "Pay attention to that Mo Wuji. If he isn''t selected, immediately bring him back to High Firmament God Sect." "Yes." Ren Fei responded. Chi Kun also didn''t dare to lag behind and also responded. In Lao Yu''s eyes, it was impossible for Mo Wuji to be selected. He believed that Mo Wuji''s placing was purchased with large amounts of high-grade Green Dew Rice. ¡­ The God King that was standing in mid-air swept his eyes across the Nascent God cultivators. His tone was steady as he said, "All disciples participating in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment are to take note. This assessment will have a total of seven tests. The first test is the Array Dao, the second test is growing Green Dew Rice. After which, comes the Equipment Dao, Pill Dao, Talisman Dao, Sacred Art Test and finally the Battle Test. Except for the second test, which is the growing of Green Dew Rice, all tests could threaten your life. Disciples who are worried can choose to go back." After saying that, this God King continued to look at the crowd. No one chose to leave. Rogue cultivators could only obtain these placings at the risk of their lives while the sect disciples that obtained these placings were all heroes of their sects. It wasn''t easy for them to get here, so who would be willing to leave? Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there wasn''t the Evil Dao. Otherwise, he really didn''t know what kind of thing he would be playing with. Seeing that no one chose to leave, the God King continued, "In this assessment, there are a total of 13,400 participants. Nirvana Learning Academy will only accept 500 students. All those disciples that pass the assessment can choose where they want to go. Disciples in the top 10 can enter the Nirvana Land of God Spiritual Energy for one year. The sects that they represent can send three God Kings to enter the Nirvanic River to gain insights to the Unity God Stage. At the same time, there would be a chance to hear the teachings of a Unity God. Disciples in the top 5 will each be rewarded with one dao fruit. Disciples in the top 3 can each obtain a sacred art manual from the Nirvana Learning Academy''s Scriptures Library." After those words were said, the people in the plaza started to get restless. Even the spectators outside the plaza were excited. The chance to be a Unity God was a target that all God Kings aimed for. Unfortunately, God Continent was lacking in the Laws. Besides the Nirvana Learning Academy, there was no other place where one could get to gain insights on the Unity God Stage. This wasn''t a matter of resources and talent, but the restriction of Houtian. Otherwise, Mo Wuji''s Gold Nirvana Dao Sand wouldn''t have incited such a huge upheaval. Many sects fought hard in order to get more disciples to take part in the assessment. Wasn''t their most important reason a chance to get become a Unity God? This God King waited for the plaza to calm down before continuing, "I hope that everyone would achieve good results in the assessment and allow God Continent to have one or two more Unity Gods. The assessment will now begin. All participating disciples can enter the spatial door and participate in the assessment. After you enter the door, your life is left in your own hands. The assessment time is one year. Everyone, please take note, the ratio of time in the assessment site to the outside world is 12 to 1. One year in the assessment site is equivalent to one month in the outside world. After one month, it didn''t matter whether you''re dead or alive, all those that do not come out are eliminated." After saying this, this God King waved his hand and a spatial gate appeared at the front of the plaza. All the cultivators in the plaza rushed towards the gate; no one hesitated. Squeezing through the crowd, Mo Wuji went through the spatial gate. After all the participating disciples entered the gate, all the spectators went back to Nirvana Dao City. At this moment, they couldn''t see their disciples'' results, but they could do so in Nirvana Dao City. A huge placing screen would be erected in Nirvana Dao City and the placings of all the participants would be shown on the screen. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji stepped through the spatial gate, he felt his entire body turning light. When he finally stepped on hard ground, there was no one around him. He was surrounded by grey and blurry space. Even though he didn''t feel any attack, he could sense that there was an attack-type array around him. If he took a single step, the attack-type array would not hesitate to trap him and bombard him with attacks. Mo Wuji sent his spiritual will outwards. Soon, he shook his head slightly. This was merely a Grade 2 god array. This kind of array was no different from free points. In a few breaths of time, Mo Wuji completely understood this array. With a few steps, he walked out of it. An unfathomably deep gorge appeared in front of Mo Wuji. There did not seem to be a path in front of the gorge. But if he retreated, he would be going back to the array. After observing for a few minutes, Mo Wuji knew that there were some array flags hidden in the gorge. From the looks of it, this was a test of a participant''s ability to install arrays. Mo Wuji casually retrieved ten array flags and threw them out. In a few breaths of time, his flags fused with those hidden flags, forming a Grade 2 spatial array bridge. Mo Wuji easily crossed the array bridge. Before Mo Wuji could observe his surroundings, his surroundings changed once more. Rock and sand suddenly came crashing down. He could only madly run forward. However, he was still struck by a huge rock¡­ A sense of clarity suddenly appeared within his sea of consciousness. Mo Wuji instantly came to an understanding. This was an illusion array? Moreover, it was a Grade 3 illusion array. The scene he just experienced had happened to him back on Earth. During that time, he had been searching for herbs within the mountains when he suddenly met with an avalanche of sand and rock. That was also where he obtained a piece of the meridian opening solution which would change his life forever¡­ Mo Wuji turned serious. He was a Grade 4 God Array Master but he didn''t really have much contact with illusion arrays. Although he didn''t fear this current illusion array, he didn''t know whether there would a Grade 4 illusion array after this. He was worried that this Array Dao Test was specific to the individual participant. If that''s the case, he might even face a Grade 5 god array. Mo Wuji believed that if he had enough time, he could break through a Grade 5 god array. However, this was an assessment and his time was limited. Just growing Green Dew Rice would take him at least six months. If he wasted too much time on the Array Dao Test, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him. With Mo Wuji''s Array Dao standard, he didn''t even need a day to break through this Grade 3 illusion array. However, since Mo Wuji was worried that there would be high levels of arrays after this and that he didn''t have much contact with illusion arrays. Thus, he decided to study about illusion arrays with this Grade 3 one. Ten days later, Mo Wuji stood up. His figure flashed within the array and he landed on a jade stone. Suddenly, wind blades suddenly shot towards Mo Wuji. Instead of being flustered, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn''t facing some Grade 4 or Grade 5 array. It was merely a Grade 3 array. This sort of array really wasn''t enough to do anything to him. Chapter 993: Charging To First Place Chapter 993: Charging To First Place Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations This time, Mo Wuji only spent a short time to break through this Grade 3 trap array. When he left this array, Mo Wuji saw a stone arch bridge. There was a stone tablet at the side of the bridge. He was instructed to write his name on this stone tablet. After inscribing Rogue Cultivator 2705 on the stone tablet, Mo Wuji used a few steps to cross the stone arch bridge. It was just as Mo Wuji had expected. A vast field had appeared in front of him. Clearly, he had easily passed the first test and had arrived at the second test of growing Green Dew Rice. Mo Wuji had the seeds of peak-grade Green Dew Rice. With them, he was confident that he could grow peak-grade Green Dew Rice and in huge amounts. However, Mo Wuji did not intend to use his Five Leaf Grass grafting method, nor his transplanting method. He didn''t even intend to use his peak-grade Green Dew Rice seeds. He took out the seeds of his high-grade Green Dew Rice. The quality of his high-grade Green Dew Rice seeds was definitely good. He believed that even if he couldn''t grow high-grade Green Dew Rice, he would at least be able to grow intermediate-grade ones. This was because his high-grade Green Dew Rice seeds were filled with gold lines and runes. It was definitely the best among high-grade Green Dew Rice. As long as he could grow intermediate-grade Green Dew Rice, he should be able to pass this assessment. After quickly organising the field, Mo Wuji planted his high-grade Green Dew Rice. After which, he took out his Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow and started to water the seeds. Mo Wuji was sure that this assessment was monitored. He would rather reveal his Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow than his ability to sense the five elements within Green Dew Rice. Whether it was the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow or the high-grade Green Dew Rice, they both shouldn''t be considered invaluable treasures to Nirvana Learning Academy. On the other hand, his ability to control the five elements might make him a specimen of Nirvana Learning Academy''s studies. As for his peak-grade Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji was less willing to reveal it. Actually, it was a mistake to have left peak-grade Green Dew Rice for Xi Lingru. Fortunately, Xi Lingru''s character was not bad. Now that they had become friends, Xi Lingru probably wouldn''t divulge his ability to grow Green Dew Rice. After planting the Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji started to study the Talisman Dao. Compared to his Pill, Equipment and Array Dao, his Talisman Dao was extremely lacking. As of now, he could only barely craft a Grade 2 god talisman. Theoretically, crafting a Grade 2 god talisman should be enough to prevent him from being eliminated. However, Mo Wuji wholeheartedly wanted to go to the Land of Mortals, so it was better for him to play safe. ¡­ Although the Rogue Cultivator Duel Competition had already ended, the plaza was still filled with people. There was a huge array screen at the centre of the plaza. Plenty of people had come here to see how their sect''s disciples performed in the assessment. "It''s out, a name is out!" A cry of pleasant surprise sounded within the crowd. Indeed, a name had appeared on the screen. Nirvana Learning Academy Assessment First Place - Luo Xianjiao; Points: 96.10. "My guess was right. The first place in the Array Dao Test is True God Path''s genius fairy, Luo Xianjiao. How long did she take? She was able to pass the Array Dao Test in that short time." "Was there a need to guess? Luo Xianjiao is a Grade 4 God Array Master. It would be strange if she didn''t take first place in this kind of test." "Right. If Luo Xianjiao chose to focus on her cultivation instead, she definitely wouldn''t be weaker than her sister Luo Xianyan." "Then who do you think would get second place? I guess that it would be Star Concealing Mountain''s Fi Feiyan. I heard that he had just advanced to the Grade 4 God Array Master level." "Nonsense. That''s obvious¡­" Immediately, this cultivator abruptly. He cried out in astonishment, "Who''s Rogue Cultivator 2705? How come I''ve never heard of this person?" At this instant, another name appeared on the screen: Nirvana Learning Academy Assessment Second Place - Rogue Cultivator 2705; Points: 95.50. "Who''s Rogue Cultivator 2705?" At this point in time, it wasn''t simply one person asking that question. Almost everyone was asking about Rogue Cultivator 2705. The placing of Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment was the focus of the entire God Continent. It wasn''t strange for some rogue cultivators to occasionally pass the assessment. However, it was extremely weird for a rogue cultivator to obtain second place. "I know who he is." A voice suddenly cried out. When this person said that, a whole group of people crowded around him and stared at him. "He is a rogue cultivator. He obtained his placing for the assessment through the Duel Competition and it was through winning 31 battles in a row. Although this person is impressive, he only has one sacred art, which was a fire-powered punch. If you are able to defend against his fire punch, you would be able to win him¡­" A rogue cultivator? A rogue cultivator actually obtained second place in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment? After hearing this news, the eyes of several sects and powers started to light up. A rogue cultivator was easy to control. If they were able to get in contact with this cultivator immediately after the assessment ends, they could recruit this rogue cultivator into their sects. Of course, the premise was that this rogue cultivator had to pass the test. Among the crowd, a tall man with thin eyes revealed a sinister expression when he saw the name ''Rogue Cultivator 2705''. This man was exactly Rogue Cultivator Alliance''s God King Luo Yu. It was true that he had been sent to a different place but this did not mean that he couldn''t stay in Nirvana Dao City. This was a matter of mutual understanding. He only had one reason why he stayed here: to kill Mo Wuji. With his savings and pay for supporting the Rogue Cultivator Selection, he was sure that he could step into God King Level 4 and become an expert in the intermediate God King Stage. However, all this was foiled by this puny Nascent God. Not only did he lose his lucrative job, he was also humiliated and ridiculed. To him, it was best if Mo Wuji obtained horrible results. He was waiting for Mo Wuji to be eliminated, then he would slowly deal with Mo Wuji. He didn''t expect that this ant would actually obtain second place in the first test, and his score was only lower than the first place by 0.6 points. He did not know that if Mo Wuji didn''t choose to spend time gaining insights on the Grade 3 illusion array, Mo Wuji might have gotten full marks. ¡­ Mo Wuji continuously crafted various kinds of talismans at the side of the field. Occasionally, he would go into the field to check on his Green Dew Rice. The growth of his Green Dew Rice was good even without the help of his five elemental array disc. This was because his seeds were from the highest quality of high-grade Green Dew Rice. Moreover, he was using the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow to water them. Thus, each strand of Green Dew Rice was tender and exuberant. Three months later, Mo Wuji crafted his first Grade 3 god talisman. Even though it was a simple Grade 3 god talisman, it still showed that he had become a Grade 3 God Talisman Master. In the following months, Mo Wuji continued to craft Grade 3 god talismans. Six months passed and the quality of his Grade 3 god talisman became increasingly better. However, he knew that there was still a distance away to being a Grade 4 God Talisman Master, and this wasn''t simply due to a lack of materials. Until now, the primary reason why he could become a Grade 3 God Talisman Master was his Sage Dao Talisman. His methods and legacy basically came from the Sage Dao Talisman. However, he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. If he wanted to step into the Grade 4 God Talisman Master level, he would need to detach himself from the Sage Doa Talisman and craft something which was exclusively his. If he continued to follow the methods according to the Sage Dao Talisman, it would be hard for him to become a Grade 4 God Talisman Master. It didn''t matter even if he spent a lot of time. All this was because he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. Regardless of his cultivation technique or his Dao, he would eventually have to walk out of the beaten path and find his own dao insights. This was the arduous journey in pursuit of the Dao. Six months had passed. His Green Dew Rice had matured. Keeping his talismans, Mo Wuji walked into the field. He was greeted by a patch of greenish-silver. This was within Mo Wuji''s expectations. Originally, he only intended to grow intermediate-grade Green Dew Rice. Now, he had exceeded his targets. Moreover, there were some hints of gold among his field. Those were high-grade Green Dew Rice. However, there were very few of them, only one or two strands. Mo Wuji used his fastest speed to harvest the field of Green Dew Rice. Then, he removed the husk. This was an assessment for Green Dew Rice. He did not wish for his points to be deducted because of the husk. Mo Wuji estimated that he had grown approximately 38 catties of intermediae-grade Green Dew Rice and 2 to 3 catties of high-grade Green Dew Rice. After Mo Wuji harvested the Green Dew Rice, a transfer whirlpool appeared in the middle of the field. Mo Wuji packed the 40 catties of Green Dew Rice nicely, then sent it into the transfer whirlpool. In less than a minute, a whirlpool array door appeared at the end of the field. By the side of the whirlpool door, there was also a white jade stone tablet. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and engraved ''Rogue Cultivator 2705'' on the stone tablet. After which, he stepped into the whirlpool door. He wasn''t sent out, which meant that he had passed this test. This time, a small stone hut appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Within the stone hut, there was only a black coloured ore and a low-grade fire stone. This was the common Grade 2 god material, Black Meteor Steel. It was already not bad to use a Grade 2 god material to forge a low-grade god equipment. Although Mo Wuji still couldn''t forge an intermediate-grade god equipment, he was familiar with the Black Meteor Steel. With seasoned hands, he sparked the fire stone and threw the Black Meteor Steel into the flame. Although this was only a low-grade god fire, it was enough to melt the Black Meteor Steel. Mo Wuji intended to forge a halberd. He was best at forging halberds. As Mo Wuji was forging his equipment, his name had become a hot topic of discussion in Nirvana Dao City''s plaza. Although he only grew intermediate-grade and a little bit of high-grade Green Dew Rice, his name still went to the first place. With a total score of 167.5, he had passed the original first place, Luo Xianjiao. Chapter 994: A Chance Used To Be Right In Front Of Your Eyes Chapter 994: A Chance Used To Be Right In Front Of Your Eyes Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Although Mo Wuji''s god equipment was ugly, it was a true low-grade god equipment. Mo Wuji had forged many halberds before, so this halberd''s appearance was not bad. Its quality was also not bad. Even though Mo Wuji knew that forging a low-grade god equipment wasn''t something amazing, he believed that he definitely wouldn''t be eliminated. After all, he had been studying the Equipment Dao for several years. Compared to those people that only knew how to cultivate, this low-grade god equipment of his was definitely enough to pass the test. To him, he did not care about being at the top. As long as he could get into Nirvana Learning Academy, he would have succeeded. After Mo Wuji placed his magic treasure in the transfer whirlpool, the results were as he had expected: a whirlpool array gate appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Once again, Mo Wuji engraved his name and walked onto the next test. There was one good point about this assessment: you didn''t know the scores of others. That way, you would continue to have hope if you didn''t get eliminated. ¡­ After three tests, Mo Wuji''s name was ranked second. The first place was now Ji Feiyan. After three tests, Mo Wuji''s total score was only 242.5 while Ji Feiyan''s total score was 249. Although Mo Wuji had dropped to second place, most eyes were still on his name. After all, Mo Wuji was a rogue cultivator while Ji Feiyan was a genius of Star Concealing Mountain. It didn''t matter whether Ji Feiyan performed well because other sects would not stand to gain anything from him. "That rogue cultivator seems to be lacking. After the third test, his ranking dropped. By the time the fourth test ends, he would probably fall out of the top ten." "This is called lacking? How can you compare that rogue cultivator to Ji Feiyan? That 2705 was able to win Ji Feiyan in the first round and obtain first place after the second round. He should already be considered a peak genius. As long as this rogue cultivator doesn''t get eliminated, he would definitely make it into Nirvana Learning Academy." "Keke, but the fourth test is Pill Dao. Have you heard of any rogue cultivators that were strong in the Pill Dao? How many rogue cultivators would have the capacity to learn the Pill Dao?" "Why not? God Pill King Green Robes was a rogue cultivator. Not only was he a God King, he was a God Pill King?" "How could you use God Pill King Green Robes as an example? There''s only one God Pill King Green Robes in the entire God Continent. Moreover, when God Pill King Green Robes became famous, he wasn''t merely at the Nascent God Stage, right?" ¡­ Compared to the idle discussions of these cultivators, the huge sects placed much more focus on Rogue Cultivator 2705. Everyone knew clearly what a rogue cultivator getting into the top 10 of the assessment meant. The resources that he would have was something that every sect wanted to obtain. Everyone was making inquiries on this Rogue Cultivator 2705, where did he come from and what was his background. They all hoped that they could make contact with a friend of Rogue Cultivator 2705. High Firmament God Sect was naturally one of the sects eagerly paying attention to Mo Wuji. When Mo Wuji was still second place after the third test, High Firmament God Sect''s Left Firmament Mountain Lord Lao Yu could no longer hold it in. He looked at Chi Kun and asked, "Chi Kun, is Rogue Cultivator 2705 Mo Wuji?" Chi Kun also had his suspicions that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was Mo Wuji but he did not dare to confirm that. Now that the Left Firmament Mountain Lord was questioning him, he could only say, "I''m also not very sure. However, that Mo Wuji is indeed far from ordinary. The fourth test is the Pill Dao. After the fourth round ends, we can be sure. It''s just that Mo Wuji''s spiritual roots are poor, so his combat power isn''t very good. However, I heard that Rogue Cultivator 2705 obtained his placing through the Duel Competition and he even won 31 battles in a row. If it was Mo Wuji, he probably couldn''t have won 31 matches." Lao Yu nodded. Mo Wuji was a Tier 4 God Pill Master while the fourth round was a Pill Dao Test. As long as Mo Wuji was still among the top after the fourth round, it would mean that Mo Wuji was definitely Rogue Cultivator 2705. As for battle capabilities, without an actual battle, who could be sure about Mo Wuji''s combat power? If it was him, he also wouldn''t easily reveal his power. It was true that spiritual roots were the greatest limiting factors of a person''s combat power. However, this was more pronounced at higher cultivations. Now, everyone participating was a Nascent God, so the difference in spiritual roots quality and combat power was minimised. ¡­ After entering the fourth round, Mo Wuji felt as though he had returned to the Pill Dao Honour Tower. There was also a house, as well as a white jade wall filled with the names of various pills. These pills ranged from Tier 9 immortal pills to Tier 5 god pills. What gave Mo Wuji a pleasant surprise was that if he took out his Pill Dao Honour Tower''s Honour Token, he could obtain his god herbs for free. The premise was that he must have concocted the pill before. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to retrieve his Tier 4 God Pill Master Honour Token and insert it into the groove beside the transfer array disc. At the same time, he tapped Tier 4 Xuan Life God Pill. The price of Tier 4 god herbs wasn''t cheap and all god pills concocted here would go to Nirvana Learning Academy. Now that he could get free god herbs, Mo Wuji naturally wasn''t going to waste his own. He had concocted the Xuan Life God Pill before. With his abilities, he could easily concoct 9 unique-grade Xuan Life God Pills. However, Mo Wuji was sure that his current results weren''t that bad, so he only concocted 6 high-grade Xuan Life God Pills. After the 6 high-grade Xuan Life God Pills were transferred away, Mo Wuji walked towards the fifth test in a carefree manner. In the Talisman Dao Test, Mo Wuji chose to craft a Grade 3 Minor Surrounding Trap Talisman; this was a talisman which could support you in battles. Back when he was growing his Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji crafted this talisman more than once. More importantly, he had the materials for this talisman. The Talisman Dao Test was the same as the Pill Dao Test. If he had an Honour Token, he could also redeem the materials for free. However, Mo Wuji didn''t go to the Talisman Dao Honour Tower, so he had to take out his own materials. ¡­ Nirvana Dao City''s plaza was now in a hubbub of discussion. "He''s first again. After the fourth test, that Rogue Cultivator 2705''s points is already 332.5" "That fella is amazing. He got 90 points from the fourth test. Could he be a Tier 4 God Pill Master?" "That should be the case. If he wasn''t a Tier 4 God Pill Master, he couldn''t even have obtained 90 points in the fourth test. Ji Feiyan''s results aren''t out yet, but I guess that he wouldn''t be able to surpass Rogue Cultivator 2705. I heard that Ji Feiyan was a Tier 3 God Pill Refiner. Even if he concocted the best Tier 3 god pill, he would only have a total of 329 points¡­" High Firmament God Sect''s Mountain Lord Lao Yu was clenching his fists tightly. Even without Chi Kun saying anything, he could guess that Rogue Cultivator 2705 was likely to be Mo Wuji. Before he could ask Chi Kun anything, Chi Kun muttered in shock, "Rogue Cultivator 2705 has actually passed the fifth test. His results are still in first place with a score of 412.5. He''s also a Grade 3 God Talisman Master, heavens¡­" Towards the end, Chi Kun''s words were reduced to mumbles. This was because Rogue Cultivator 2705 was truly too shocking. "He''s passed the fifth test. Rogue Cultivator 2705 has passed the fifth test." Another person could not help but exclaim. At the point, there were still people growing Green Dew Rice. There were even some that were trapped in the first round. On the other hand, Rogue Cultivator 2705 had already passed the fifth test and had made it to the sixth test. This was truly too amazing. "Ji Feiyan has also passed the fourth test. His total score is indeed 329¡­" Even though Lao Yu was a God King, he could not help but be stunned with Mo Wuji''s results. A genius like Ji Feiyan that could cultivate and excel in various Daos was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. Moreover, Ji Feiyan''s success wasn''t simply due to his own talent but also the nurturing of Star Concealing Mountain. Imagine, how many sects could be like the Star Concealing Mountain and nurture their disciples in so many different Daos? There were billions of Daos under the Heaven. Each one of them required a cultivator to put in boundless time and effort. A cultivator didn''t even have enough time to cultivate, so how many people would actually spend their time on learning different Daos? "Elder Ren Fei, did Mo Wuji notice that you were looking for him?" Thinking about how he could not even find his own sect''s disciples names, Lao Yu could not help but stare at Ren Fei and ask. Ren Fei''s expression wasn''t that good. He sighed and said, "If it was before, I was sure that I didn''t see Mo Wuji. But if Mo Wuji was in disguise¡­" His eyes shot towards Chi Kun and didn''t say anything further. Who would have thought that Mo Wuji would be in disguise while in High Firmament God Sect, but not here? Moreover, Mo Wuji had previously gone to High Firmament God Sect as a guest and helper. Ren Fei couldn''t have used his spiritual will to observe Mo Wuji then. Ren Fei also understood the Left Mountain Lord''s meaning. If Mo Wuji saw that he had come from High Firmament Sect just to find him, Mo Wuji would definitely have some apprehensions towards High Firmament God Sect. Lao Yu sighed, "Ai, the sect head was wrong in the way he handled this matter. Chi Kun, after that Mo Wuji comes out, try to find some ways to meet him. After all, your relationship with him is not bad." Yu Chuo, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly said, "Mountain Lord, that Mo Wuji has some character. If you find him with an ulterior motive, you might only incur his ill will." Lao Yu sighed. Chi Kun and Yu Chuo had brought a golden goose to High Firmament God Sect. However, they didn''t know better and kicked that golden goose away. A chance used to be right in front of their face but... One must know that Chi Kun originally intended for Mo Wuji to represent their sect in the assessment. "Yu Chuo, if Rogue Cultivator 2705 is really Mo Wuji, then go and interact with him after the assessment. No matter what, we will not give up. I will now contact the Sect Head and invite him to Nirvana Dao City. If Mo Wuji really gets into the top 10, then this matter will not be simple. If there''s no hope, then we would have forgotten about it. But since we have hope and we are acquainted with that Mo Wuji, we will not let things rest just like that." This was the first time Lao Yu didn''t care about Yu Chuo''s opinion and made a firm stand. ¡­ At this time, Mo Wuji had arrived at the sixth test - the Sacred Arts Test. He was surprised when he saw that there were two doors. The door on the left was very short, while the door on the right was very tall. Chapter 995: Greatest Reward Chapter 995: Greatest Reward Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations On the door on the left, it wrote: Enter to test your sacred art. The stronger the sacred art, the higher the points. On the door on the right, it wrote: Enter to gain insights on a sacred art. If the sacred art is successfully comprehended, no points are awarded. If the sacred art isn''t successfully comprehended, then you would be eliminated. Successfully comprehending the sacred art would result in no points? Mo Wuji looked around carefully and verified that he had seen things correctly. Indeed, there wouldn''t be any points for gaining insights on a new sacred art successfully. If that was not enough, he would be eliminated instantly if he failed. Mo Wuji shook his head. Without any further thought, he decided to walk towards the door on the left. In this Sacred Art Test, he should be able to pass it easily with his Domain Crushing Fist. However, the moment he was right in front of the door, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. If it was like that, what''s the meaning of the door on the right? No one would choose it, right? Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks and walked to the door on the right. He bent down and checked whether there was any further information. Indeed, when Mo Wuji bent down, he saw a line of minute words. This line of words didn''t have any seals on them, which was why his spiritual will easily brushed past it. If Mo Wuji did not take a closer look, he definitely wouldn''t have noticed it. There were only 12 words: Among billions of sacred art, the Passage of Time is number one. This was a time-law sacred art? Mo Wuji suddenly stood up. His heart started to pound heavily as he got excited. He didn''t know whether the Passage of Time was the truly number one sacred art among billions of sacred art, but he was sure that the Passage of Time was a sacred art born from the Laws of Time. Even if this time-law sacred art wasn''t number one, it would definitely be among the top in the world. Mo Wuji knew clearly what it meant to be able to scroll a time-law sacred art. His Spatial Imprisonment seemed like a time-law sacred art, but Mo Wuji knew that it was space-law sacred art. Moreover, it was merely a strand of hair in the Laws of Space. Even if it meant that he couldn''t enter Nirvana Learning Academy, Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t going to give up on this chance to gain insights on a time-law sacred art. Mo Wuji did not hesitate as he directly walked into the door on the right. To him, points weren''t important. The most important thing to him know was have some contact with the Laws of Time and possessing his own time-law sacred art. The moment he entered the door, Mo Wuji felt as though his entire body had gone missing. It gave him the impression that only his mind had entered the door while his body was left outside. Only after a few breaths, Mo Wuji finally felt that he was truly standing in this passage made of the Laws of Time. At this moment, the flow of time seemed tangible and could be caught with his own two hands. Flowing time was like flowing water; it brushed across his body, taking away years, taking away everything¡­ With every step that he took, it felt like he was crossing countless of ages. Although Mo Wuji''s body was already at the Half-Saint Physique, it still gradually decayed under the constant washing of time. His hair slowly turned grey, his thoughts gradually turned old, and his clothes slowly turned into dust¡­ Mo Wuji sat down. This definitely wasn''t an illusion. He had a feeling that if he continued to walk forward, he would turn into rotten word and disintegrate into nothingness. He slowly closed his eyes and allowed the flowing time to brush across his body. All his meridians went into reverse circulation around his dao revelation channel, forming a dao revelation circulation. He was searching for the source of time. Mo Wuji believed that if he was unable to comprehend the Passage of Time and understand the Laws of Time, he might actually die of old age here. Each strand of dao insights was caught by Mo Wuji''s dao revelation channel. He continuously formed hand seals; at one point in time, he formed more than a thousand hand seals within a single breath of time. Time continued to pass as Mo Wuji sunk into rumination. His skin turned wrinkled and his hair turned white from its roots¡­ As Mo Wuji''s young body turned older, an aura of decay oozed out of his body. His hand seals went from fast to slow. In the beginning, he could do thousands of hand seals in a single breath, then it became tens, then it became one hand seal per breath, to one hand seal every few hours, to one hand seal a day, to one hand seal a month¡­ ¡­ "Star Concealing Mountain''s Ji Feiyan''s 479 points has charged to the first place. He should have passed the sixth test already. Why isn''t that Rogue Cultivator 2705''s points moving?" "Ao Clan''s Ao Rong''s 454 points has charged to the second spot. Rogue Cultivator 2705 has dropped to third place¡­ Now, he''s at fourth place¡­" On Nirvana Dao City Plaza, there were sounds of astonishment, sounds of pity, and even sounds of celebration. There were all due to Rogue Cultivator 2705''s freefall. In the first five rounds, not only was he the first to complete, his points were also at the top. But now, many people had passed the sixth test while no news was heard from Rogue Cultivator 2705. "He should have failed his sixth test and had been transported out, right?" Someone asked questioningly. "The names of those that failed should disappear. However, his name is still up there, which means that he hadn''t passed the sixth test." "That might not be the case. Nirvana Learning Academy has changed the rules for this assessment. Perhaps they would only remove the names of those that were eliminated at the end of the entire assessment?" When High Firmament God Sect''s Mountain Lord Lao Yu saw that Mo Wuji''s score hadn''t increased till now, he sighed and said, "Chi Kun, that Rogue Cultivator 2705 is unable to pass the Sacred Arts Test. Could it be due to his low cultivation?" Chi Kun hesitated briefly before saying, "However, according to witnesses, that Rogue Cultivator 2705 had a powerful sacred art that no one could defend against. If someone was able to defend against his sacred art, then Rogue Cultivator 2705 wouldn''t even have obtained his placing. Theoretically, he should be able to get points through that sacred art. Oh right¡­" As Chi Kun was speaking, he drew a faint image, "Elder Ren Fei, did you see this person at Pill Dao Honour Tower?" The instant Ren Fei saw this image, he sighed and said, "I saw him. However, not only was his aura different, he even had good spiritual roots. He seemed to have been a fire-type cultivator." Chi Kun casually waved away his image. No one had the interest to talk any further. In that short time, Rogue Cultivator 2705''s name had already dropped to seventh place. Within the crowd, Luo Yu snorted coldly. His figure flashed as he left Nirvana Dao City. the way he looked at it, Mo Wuji should have failed in the sixth test. As long as Mo Wuji didn''t die, he would be transported out. He, Luo Yu, wanted to let that ant know that a God King was not an existence that could be offended. ¡­ When Mo Wuji formed one final slow hand seal, his dao revelation channel suddenly exploded with a burst of clarity. Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up and lightly drew an arc with his hand. Time seemed to slow down and space seemed to become clearer. "What a powerful sacred art¡­" Mo Wuji calmed down. He had finally arrived at the fringe of the Laws of Time. Although he was unable to stop time, nor reverse it, he was able to slow time within his domain. Mo Wuji took a step forward and formed another hand seal slowly. The time within his domain seemed to turn sluggish. At this moment, Mo Wuji''s decaying body seemed to regain some life. Taking another step forward, Mo Wuji formed another hand seal¡­ Mo Wuji''s white hair turned from white to greyish-white, from grey-white to grey, then to black¡­ Mo Wuji''s decaying body also continuously recovered as Mo Wuji continued to advance forward. He only stopped when he arrived at a whirlpool array door. Besides understanding his Mortal Dao, Mo Wuji felt that his greatest reward from coming to God Continent wasn''t becoming a Tier 5 God Pill King, nor was it learning to grow Green Dew Rice. Instead, it was making contact with the Laws of Time. He hadn''t fully formed his time-law sacred art but Mo Wuji was extremely clear that if he integrated his Laws of Time into his Setting Sun, his Setting Sun will definitely be a sacred art no inferior to the Wheel of Life and Death and the Seven World Finger. After engraving his name on the stone tablet, Mo Wuji walked into the whirlpool door. He had passed the sixth round. Although he didn''t get any points, Mo Wuji believed that the sixth test was the most rewarding one. ¡­ After walking out of the whirlpool array door, a huge passage appeared in front of Mo Wuji. On top of the passage, it wrote: Battle Passage. Besides these two words, there was no further introduction. Mo Wuji was clear that he had spent too much time on understanding the Laws of Time. Thus, the moment he arrived at the Battle Passage, he did not hesitate to walk into it. In less than ten steps, a human figure pounced towards him. At the same time, a huge radiant blade shot over. This was a puppet? Moreover, its cultivation was only at Nascent God Level 8. Mo Wuji casually released a punch. His Domain Crushing Fist directly turned this puppet into juice. Previously, Mo Wuji thought this seventh test would be a battle with other cultivators. He didn''t think that he would be fighting puppets. To him, this was much easier. After all, he might incur the wrath of big sects if he accidentally killed their disciples. Among those taking part in this assessment, few were rogue cultivators like him. Mo Wuji eliminated that Nascent God Level 8 puppet with a single punch. After walking another few meters, another puppet charged out. This puppet actually had a whirlpool domain similar to his, as well as a fist-type sacred art similar to his Domain Crushing Fist. Mo Wuji still didn''t dodge as he released a punch. His fist met with the puppet''s. With a ''Kacha!'', this puppet turned into dust. He was even able to make contact with the Laws of Time. At this moment, Mo Wuji felt relaxed and free of hindrances. Outside, the assessment had already gone into a countdown. Both Chi Kun and Yu Chuo were feeling depressed. Ever since Mo Wuji''s name started to fall, it never went back up. At this time, they could only hope that Mo Wuji hadn''t been eliminated. As long as Mo Wuji wasn''t eliminated, he might not get into the top 10 but he should be able to make it into Nirvana Learning Academy. However, they knew that the chances of this were slim. Chapter 996: The End Of The Assessment Chapter 996: The End Of The Assessment Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Just as Mo Wuji was thinking that the next puppet would have a cultivation of Heavenly God Level 1, he arrived at two stone tablets. There was a white tablet and a red one. Mo Wuji knew about the white jade stone tablet. If he wrote his name down, he would have passed the test. Mo Wuji was thinking: "Wasn''t this assessment too easy?". However, after seeing the instructions above the red tablet, he came to an understanding. It wrote: Press the red jade stone tablet to continue with the assessment. The next battle will be with a Heavenly God Level 1. Failure to win will result in elimination. Those that choose not to continue can inscribe your name on the white jade stone tablet and pass the assessment. Mo Wuji came to an understanding. Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment wasn''t to prevent more people from passing the test. Instead, it was to select more holistic people. However, it was also clear that if he chose to leave now, his total score wouldn''t be very high. If he continuously battled, his points would eventually reach an extremely high level. Clearly, it could be seen that while Nirvana Learning Academy wanted to choose all-rounded people, it still put combat abilities as its priority. If you have the combat ability, even if you didn''t score very high on the previous tests, you could recoup the points through battle. Mo Wuji hesitated briefly. According to the points he scored previously, even though he didn''t get any points from the sixth round, it should be possible for him to get into the top 500. That meant to say that he would definitely get into Nirvana Learning Academy. If he wanted to continue earning points, he could press the red jade stone tablet and continue fighting. With his combat abilities, getting to the top 10, no top 3, was not an impossibility. But did he need to continue? The reward for the top 10 was a year''s time in the Land of God Spiritual Energy. He did not come here for the Land of God Spiritual Energy but the Land of Mortals. As for the Nirvanic River which could allow God Kings to ruminate on the Unity God Stage, what had it got to do with him? Chi Bing was only at God King Level 1 and she hadn''t even stabilised her cultivation. Thus, there was no need for her to search for the stage above the God King Stage. As for the God Fruit, Mo Wuji felt that he would probably store it in his ring or auction it if he obtained it. Also, while it was true that such rewards could be sold for large amounts of god crystals, he was afraid that he would be too famous. Moreover, he would be offending many people. If he was in 10th place, he would offend the 11th place. If he was in 5th place, he would offend the 6th to 11th place¡­ He, Mo Wuji, never been afraid of offending people. If it was related to his personal interests and values, he wouldn''t even mind offending God Kings or hue sects. Previously, to save Su Xi, he offended many peak-grade sects. To save the fate of the Immortal World, he was not afraid of offending an expert that was a totally different realm from him. For Heavenly Mortal Sect, he killed 45 genius disciples of Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect. Ultimately, he was forced to cross the Nirvana Ocean and flee to God Continent¡­ All this was for his Dao! If it was for some supreme treasure, he definitely wouldn''t give up now. But if he had to offend so many powers and sects for this bit of god crystals, then it truly wasn''t worth it. He was a Tier 5 God Pill King, he would be able to get god crystals any time he wanted. Why would he need to offend others? As for fame and reputation, he had less desire for it. He cultivated the Mortal Dao and fame was only as good as a fleeting cloud. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to inscribe his name Rogue Cultivator 2705 on the white jade stone tablet. A whirlpool array door appeared. Mo Wuji walked through it and arrived at a huge plaza. At almost the same instant his feet touched the ground, Mo Wuji heard a loud and clear voice, "The assessment time is over. All those that did not pass the assessment or are still in the assessment are eliminated." The assessment time was over? Mo Wuji''s heart turned cold. He suddenly thought that if he had chose to continue challenging the next level, what would be waiting for him wasn''t points, but elimination. What a close call. "Your luck is not bad. You passed the seventh test just as the assessment time ended. How was it, how many did you eliminate in the last round?" A cheery voice sounded by Mo Wuji''s ear. The one speaking was a white-faced youth who seemed to care a lot about hygiene. Mo Wuji could even smell a faint fragrance from him. If this was Earth, Mo Wuji would think that this was a pampered son that liked to spray himself with cologne. Mo Wuji laughed, "I only eliminated two. I only managed to pass by a close shave. If I delayed any further, I would have been eliminated." "Looks like you are a man of luck. My name is Lian Linyun, I''m from He Jian God City." The white-faced youth clapped Mo Wuji''s shoulders and introduced himself. "My name is Mo Wuji, a rogue cultivator. I roam around and came here to try my luck," Mo Wuji responded. He knew of He Jian God City. If Chi Bing did not mention Coiling Wind Forest, he might have gone to He Jian God City. Lian Linyun pointed at the array screen at the centre of the plaza and said, "We can''t see the placings for now. It''s still being calculated. After some time, the top 500 will be revealed. The fact that you can come to this plaza means that you are not bad. There were more than 13,000 people that took part in the assessment but there are less than 2,000 people here." Mo Wuji had also noticed, there were indeed approximately 2000 people here. Since Nirvana Learning Academy would be accepting 500 people, that meant that he had a 25% chance of being selected. Lian Linyun was clearly a talkative person. He pointed to a group of people in front and said, "Look there, those are some seeded participants. The most renowned one is Star Concealing Mountain''s Ji Feiyan. That fella is a peak genius. It''s rumoured that he''s a Grade 4 God Array Master, a Tier 3 God Pill Master, a Tier 3 God Talisman Master, and a smith that could forge intermediate-grade god equipment. It''s even said that he eliminated a Heavenly God Level 4 puppet in the Battle Passage. If there''s nothing out of the ordinary, he would definitely be first place. The guy beside him is Ao Clan''s Ao Rong, he''s also extremely impressive¡­" Through Lian Linyun''s introduction, Mo Wuji got to know of some seeded participants. Besides Star Concealing Mountain''s Ji Feiyan, there was Ao Clan''s Ao Rong, True God Path''s Luo Xianjiao, Cultivators Embassy''s Xu Ze and Ji Clan''s Ji Jiuling¡­ .... Compared to the 2000 people on this plaza, Nirvana Dao City Plaza was far more crowded. The Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment had ended and the results would be announced soon. The array screen which originally showed the placings was not blank. The official placings would be validated. After validation, the true results would be shown. Everyone looked at the array screen expectantly. They all wanted to know who were in the top 3 and who were in the top 10. As for the sects that had a chance of being in the top 3, top 5, or top 10, they were looking at the screen with fervour. Even though there were some disciples that had high placings previously, those placings would be extremely different from the actual placings. This was because the results of the seventh round weren''t included. In Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, all-rounded abilities were required but battle ability was still the most highly recognised. The Battle Test was also placed as the final test as the points would get higher when a participant wins more opponents. Theoretically, there was no limit set for the Battle Test. This meant that as long as you weren''t eliminated in the earlier rounds and you were insanely strong, you would still have a chance of charging to the 1st place. High Firmament God Sect''s Mountain Lord Lao Yu was also staring at the huge, white screen. He eagerly hoped that Mo Wuji could be in the top 10 and earn a chance to enter the Nirvanic River. In High Firmament God Sect, there was a Great Circle God King. He was only one step away from breaking through that stage. However, besides Nirvana Learning Academy, there did not seem to be any other place where one can ruminate on the Laws above the God King Stage. Moreover, Nirvana Learning Academy wasn''t an easy place to enter. Don''t simply see the fact that High Firmament God Sect was a big sect. Even the peak sects in God Continent would not dare to set themselves against Nirvana Learning Academy. Nirvana Learning Academy was a power with Unity God experts. Just one Unity God could wipe out a peak sect. At Lao Yu''s side, was High Firmament God Sect''s Xing Wen. Xing Wen had an ugly expression on his face. He never thought that a casual decision of his had sent away a peak genius. Now, it was too late for regrets. He could only hope that Mo Wuji had entered the top 10 and his High Firmament God Sect could use Chi Kun or Yu Chuo to mend the scars between Mo Wuji and them. Even though the official placings weren''t out, Xing Wen knew that High Firmament God Sect definitely wouldn''t have anyone in the top 10. Their best disciple, Chang Haoji, only made it to the top 60. Even if Chang Haoji was extremely skilled in battle, he probably couldn''t make it into the top 10. At this moment, Chi Kun, who had gone out to investigate, returned. He landed by Xing Wen''s and Lao Yu''s side. Before Chi Kun could say anything, Xing Wen anxiously asked, "Was Mo Wuji eliminated?" Chi Kun shook his head with a gloomy expression, "He didn''t come out. Previously, Mo Wuji''s score was at 412.50 and there was no change to it." "412.5 points. His score didn''t change, but neither did he come out¡­" Xing Wen muttered to himself, then he didn''t speak any further. He knew what Chi Kun was thinking, Chi Kun probably thought that Mo Wuji was already dead. In fact, he also had the same thoughts. Otherwise, Mo Wuji couldn''t have not gotten any points at the sixth test. "Ai, forget about it. That Mo Wuji only knew one sacred art. It''s normal that he might get killed in battle," Another elder of High Firmament God Sect said. Left Firmament Mountain Lord Lao Yu shook his head, "It''s not the Battle Test. Mo Wuji''s score didn''t change ever since the Sacred Art Test. But theoretically, the Sacred Art Test shouldn''t be life-threatening?" Xing Wen said solemnly, "That might not be the case. There are too many changes in this assessment. Many things are not the same as what we know." "The results are out. Quick, take a look!" A sharp voice rang across the plaza. Indeed, the 1st place had appeared on the huge array screen. Chapter 997: Entering Nirvana Learning Academy Chapter 997: Entering Nirvana Learning Academy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Ji Feiyan, Star Concealing Mountain Disciple, Total Score 599, 1st place." Someone read the words on the screen. "599 points? I remember that his score after the sixth round was 479. Doesn''t this mean that he obtained 120 points in the Battle Test? 120 points, that''s¡­" "You did not see wrongly. Ji Feiyan truly does have this ability. According to the rules for the seventh round, winning a Nascent God Level 8 puppet is 60 points, winning a Nascent God Level 9 puppet is 70 points. A Heavenly God Level 1 puppet is 80 points, Heavenly God Level 2 is 90 points, Heavenly God Level 3 is 100 points and Heavenly God Level 4 is 120 points. This meant that Ji Feiyan won against a Heavenly God Level 4 puppet." "A Great Circle Nascent God winning against a Level 4 Heavenly God, this is¡­" At this instant, there was no need to talk about the disciples with low cultivations. Even the God King experts of the huge sects were speechless. Ji Feiyan was strong to an absurd degree. Imagine, if Ji Feiyan reaches the God King Stage, he would be unbeatable among God Kings. There was a huge gap between a Nascent God and a Heavenly God, much less a Great Circle Nascent God and a Level 4 Heavenly God. Unfortunately, he''s a disciple of Star Concealing Mountain. In the entire God Continent, Star Concealing Mountain is a top-class existence. As long as Nirvana Learning Academy didn''t lead the effort, no one would be willing to offend Star Concealing Mountain. Even the Star Concealing Mountain branch in Nirvana Learning Academy was very strong. "Xu Ze, Cultivators Embassy Disciple, Total Score 571.50, 2nd place." "Sikong Mao, God Blade Palace Disciple, Total Score 561, 3rd place." "Bai Yue, Rogue Cultivator, Total Score 553.20, 4th place." ¡­ "Another rogue cultivator?" "Not another rogue cultivator? There was also that Rogue Cultivator 2705 previously." "That Rogue Cultivator 2705 probably died in the Battle Test. The Battle Test isn''t like growing Green Dew Rice. If you can''t make it, you wouldn''t be sent away. Instead, you would be killed." "Luo Xianjiao, True God Path Disciple, Total Score 530, 7th place." ¡­ "Gai Huahao, Reincarnation God Dao, Total Score 515, 10th place." Although there were still many placings, most sects were extremely disappointed. This was because they didn''t see their sect names in the top 10. As long as they weren''t in the top 10, even if they were in the top 500, they could only plant a seed in Nirvana Learning Academy. "There''s no Mo Wuji." Ren Fei sighed in relief. He was worried that Mo Wuji had entered the top 10 since he wasn''t able to find Mo Wuji in Nirvana Dao City previously. "There is, there is. His name is out." Yu Chuo suddenly cried out belatedly. She was genuinely happy for Mo Wuji. At this instant, everyone''s eyes were on the screen. The name ''Rogue Cultivator 2705'' appeared on the screen, "Rogue Cultivator 2705, Rogue Cultivator, Total Score 482.5, 22nd place." The expression on Xing Wen''s face eased. He said to Chi Kun, "This person is not bad, he actually got 70 points in the Battle Test. Regardless of his spiritual root quality, entering Nirvana Learning Academy means that he would have a bright future. Chi Kun, if you''re free, keep in contact with him. Mountain Lord Lao, Elder Su, Elder Ren, I will take my leave." With that, Xing Wen''s figure flashed and disappeared from Nirvana Dao City Plaza. Mo Wuji''s 22nd place was no different from the 500th place. At least to High Firmament God Sect, Mo Wuji no longer had any value. ¡­ In Nirvana Learning Academy''s plaza, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his name at 22nd place. To him, he had already achieved his goal. "Wuji, you don''t need to care about the names at the front. Even if we are able to enter, our names would be at the back. If I enter Nirvana Learning Academy, I would help you get a place in the service sect. You must know that it''s not a simple thing to get into the service sect of Nirvana Learning Academy." Seeing that Mo Wuji was concentrated on the array screen, Lian Linyun took the initiative to console him. In his perspective, it was already extremely lucky that Mo Wuji could pass the seventh test. But to enter the top 500, he would be wasting his brain cells thinking about it. Mo Wuji laughed but he didn''t say anything. From the way he looked at it, Lian Linyun was a fella that cared about his face. If he entered Nirvana Learning Academy while this fella didn''t manage to, then Lian Linyun would definitely feel ashamed. "My name is out. 489th place. Hahahaha. I knew it. How could I, Lian Linyun, not be able to enter Nirvana Learning Academy? Hahaha¡­" Lian Linyun chuckled loudly. He was incomparably excited. Mo Wuji could understand Lian Linyun''s excitement. 489th place. Just a little bit less and he would have been eliminated. Moreover, he wasn''t the only excited one. There were others in the top 500 that were far more excited than Lian Linyun. However, compared to those that were excited, there were more that were disappointed. After all 500 names were released, a deep voice came from the centre of the plaza, "Cultivators whose names aren''t on the array screen, please enter the transfer array and leave." A transfer array gate appeared at the corner of the plaza. Cultivators that passed the seven tests but weren''t able to make it into the top 500 could only walk into the transfer array gate and leave. After all of them left, a gold colour path inclined down from the clouds, extending towards the plaza. That voice continued, "Those that have passed the test and are in the top 500, please get on the gold path and enter Nirvana Learning Academy. Mo Wuji wanted to call Lian Linyun but that kid was far too excited and had already forgotten about this chat buddy. Lian Linyun had already charged into the crowd and was continuously sharing his joy. At this instant, there did not seem to be 500 people. He was the only one that passed the test and everyone else was transparent. Joy was clearly contagious. Although many people weren''t like Lian Linyun and shared their elation in public, many of them could not help but feel a sense of pride when they thought that their bright future ahead with Nirvana Learning Academy. In God Continent, which place had the most World Gods? Nirvana Learning Academy. In God Continent, which place had the most God Pill Kings, God Array Masters, God Talisman Masters and God Smith Masters? Nirvana Learning Academy. In God Continent, which place had experts that transcended the God King Stage? It could only be the Nirvana Learning Academy. Now, they had all made it into the Nirvana Learning Academy. There was nothing that could be more joyous than this. As he walked on the inclined gold path, Mo Wuji could distinctively feel that the Laws of Heaven and Earth around him were much clearer. He was different from others. Ever since he was a Heavenly Immortal, he had already constructed his own world. Other cultivators could only create their own world in the World God Stage. Thus, other Nascent Gods did not notice the difference in the Laws of the Heaven and Earth, Mo Wuji felt it clearly. From this, Mo Wuji knew that Nirvana Learning Academy was definitely the number one place to cultivate the Dao. After walking through the gold path, the 500 of them arrived at a huge ancient hall. The hall was very spacious and at the front of the hall, stood a middle-aged man. Beside the middle-aged man, was a transfer array gate. "Eh, Wuji, why are you here?" Lian Linyun finally noticed Mo Wuji. He instantly asked in surprise. Before Mo Wuji could answer, Lian Linyun came to a realisation and said apologetically, "Oh, sorry Wuji. I didn''t notice the names after 489. I didn''t think that you managed to catch the tail again. Your luck is truly the best among the people I''ve met. Wuji, since you are a rogue cultivator, why don''t you join me at He Jian God City?" Lian Linyun thought that Mo Wuji''s placing was after him, which was why he thought that Mo Wuji''s luck was good. This was just like in the seventh test where Mo Wuji passed it just before the assessment ended. From a certain perspective, Nirvana Learning Academy could be a mini-version of God Continent, but with much stronger power. In God Continent, there was He Jian God City. In Nirvana Learning Academy, there was also a branch of He Jian God City. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "Many thanks but I have a place I wish to go to." "You''re a rogue cultivator?" Standing not far from them, Ao Rong heard their words and came over. Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right, I am indeed a rogue cultivator." Ao Rong clasped his fists and said, "I''m Ao Clan''s Ao Rong. Why don''t you join my Ao Clan? My Ao Clan is definitely a top-class power in Nirvana Learning Academy." Seeing Ao Rong come over to poach Mo Wuji, Lian Linyun hurriedly shut his mouth. Compared to the Ao Clan, He Jian God City was far too inferior. Not only did the Ao Clan have power in Nirvana Learning Academy, they also had powers in several top sects. Among all the family clans in God Continent, the Ao Clan was definitely ranked among the top. When Mo Wuji heard Ao Rong''s name, he felt displeased. He knew this fella. This fella achieved rather good results with a total score of 522, ranking him at 8th place. However, the clan that he had the worst impression of in the entire God Continent is the Ao Clan. If not for Chi Kun''s help, he might have been killed by the Ao Clan in High Firmament City. "I temporarily don''t have any intentions of going to other places." Mo Wuji rejected Ao Rong with an indifferent expression. Hearing a rogue cultivator reject him, Ao Rong''s face turned dark. He chuckled, turned and left. He no longer talked to Mo Wuji. At this time, the middle-aged cultivator at the front said loudly, "Standing here means that you are a disciple of the Nirvana Learning Academy. My name is Yu Nuode. I will be sending you to the places that you wish to go. Before sending all of you, I need to talk about Nirvana Learning Academy''s rules." Yu Nuode paused. After everyone in the hall quietened down, he continued, "Nirvana Learning Academy''s rules are very simple. In fact, there''s only one. No matter where you go in the future, you must always remember that you are from Nirvana Learning Academy. You must loudly say that you are a disciple of Nirvana Learning Academy." Clearly, most cultivators here knew of this rule. Mo Wuji, however, was rather shocked. It was so simple? There''s only one rule? That means to say that it didn''t matter whether they betrayed Nirvana Learning Academy in the future as long as they say that they were from Nirvana Learning Academy? Chapter 998: I Don’t Intend To Acknowledge A Senior Brother Chapter 998: I Don¡¯t Intend To Acknowledge A Senior Brother Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After Yu Nuode said that rule, he waited for a brief moment before continuing, "Besides that rule, those that enter Nirvana Learning Academy would have to complete missions. Regardless of which place you go to, you would need to visit Nirvana Learning Academy Hall of Missions to complete assignments or missions. The number of assignments and explanations could be found in your identity jade tokens. Nirvana Learning Academy is open-minded. You can choose to stay at any place here and join any faction that you like. Of course, if you can also choose not to join any place and be an ordinary outer sect disciple. Everyone, please take note. After entering Nirvana Learning Academy, you would only be an inner sect disciple after you reach the God Monarch Stage. Alright, may the 1st place, Ji Feiyan, come forward." Ji Feiyan was already standing at the front. When he heard his name, he directly walked to Yu Nuode. Yu Nuode handed a storage ring to Ji Feiyan, "Inside the ring, you will find your identity token. Included inside is 500 nirvana points. Nirvana Learning Academy''s nirvana points can be used in both Nirvana Learning Academy and Nirvana Dao City. Since you have obtained the 1st place, you can enter the Land of God Spiritual Energy for one year. Also, you get one Dao Fruit, three placings to enter the Nirvanic River, one chance to hear a Unity God discuss the Dao and one chance to pick a sacred art in the Scriptures Library. Now, where do you choose to go?" Ji Feiyan accepted the storage ring, bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple is from Star Concealing Mountain, so I would choose to join Star Concealing Mountain." "Alright. Any other disciple that wishes to join Star Concealing Mountain can also come up, collect your identity token and enter the array gate." Yu Nuode pressed the button by the side of the array gate. Three words appeared above the transfer array: Star Concealing Mountain. There wasn''t a second person that joined Star Concealing Mountain. Although Star Concealing Moutain was strong, the only one in the top 500 was Ji Feiyan. After Ji Feiyan walked into the array door, the transfer array flashed rapidly. Soon, Ji Feiyan disappearer. Mo Wuji thought in his heart: "This Nirvana Learning Academy was truly open-minded. This also explained showed that Nirvana Learning Academy was easygoing. However, Nirvana Learning Academy was able to stand tall in God Continent for so many years and was also the standard of excellence in God Continent. It definitely wasn''t as simple as it seemed on the surface. If it was truly as Yu Nuode had said, it didn''t matter how many Unity Gods Nirvana Learning Academy had, it would ultimately face extinction. "2nd place, Xu Ze, come and accept your rewards. At the same time, can you tell me where you wish to join?" After Ji Feiyan left, Yu Nuode continued. Xu Ze came from Cultivators Embassy. After he accepted his rewards, he also left alone to join Cultivators Embassy. Although 500 people seemed like a lot, most of them were selected all throughout God Continent''s High God Land. The number of big sects and powers in High God Land definitely exceeded 500. Thus, most sects and powers would have one representative here at the very most. Two was already considered an anomaly. 3rd place, Sikong Mao from God Blade Palace. After he collected his rewards, he left alone. Mo Wuji discovered that Ji Feiyan had 500 nirvana points, Xu Ze had 499 nirvana points while Sikong Mao had 498 points. If this was extrapolated, it seems like he would obtain 479 nirvana points. He didn''t know what''s the use of nirvana points; he would have to go to the Hall of Missions and ask around. "4th place, Bai Yue, come and collect your rewards. Tell me, where do you wish to join?" Yu Nuode''s words clearly following a certain format. A young cultivator in hemp garments walked forward. This youth looked ordinary; there did not seem to be anything special about him. Mo Wuji had seen the placings screen and knew that this Bai Yue was a rogue cultivator like him. In his heart, he was curious as to how Bai Yue was able to obtain a jade token from Rogue Cultivator Alliance. After Bai Yue accepted the storage ring, he replied respectfully, "This disciple chooses to go to the Land of Mortals!" Yu Nuode had always had an emotionless expression on his face. However, after hearing that Bai Yue wanted to join the Land of Mortals, he jolted slightly. It wasn''t only him, everyone in the hall was shocked. Why would someone want to join the Land of Mortals? Wasn''t this too absurd? Mo Wuji didn''t think that Bai Yue would be like him and also wanted to join the Land of Mortals. Could it be that this fella also cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique? However, this did not seem likely. This fella''s spiritual aura was revolving around him. Clearly, his spiritual roots quality wasn''t bad. "You want to go to the Land of Mortals?" Yu Nuode thought that he had heard wrong and he asked the question once more. Bai Yue bowed and said, "Yes, this disciple wishes to join the Land of Mortals." Yu Nuode had already regained his countenance. He explained, "There''s no one in the Land of Mortals. Moreover, the god spiritual energy there is the worst in the entire Nirvana Learning Academy. If you go there, there wouldn''t be anyone to impart to you any sacred arts or skills. Are you sure that you wish to go to the Land of Mortals?" Bai Yue was still bowing, "Yes, this disciple is sure that he wants to go to the Land of Mortals." Yu Nuode nodded, "This is your own choice. You can enter the transfer array. Oh right, is there anyone else that wishes to go to the Land of Mortals?" To Yu Nuode, one person going to the Land of Mortals was already the fast peculiarity to happen in many years. It was definitely impossible for there to be a second person. However, he had to follow his duty and make the announcement. Even others thought that no one would be willing to join the Land of Mortals. Just at this moment, another person stood up and said, "This disciple is willing to go to the Land of Mortals." Yu Nuode''s face hardened. Everyone else couldn''t understand what was going on? Could there be some treasure in the Land of Mortals? Why was there another person that wanted to go there? The one that stood up was exactly Mo Wuji. His main purpose was to come to the Land of Mortals, so he naturally chose to go there. It was just that Mo Wuji didn''t know that the Land of Mortals was no longer inhabited. Chi Kun, who told Mo Wuji about the Land of Mortals, didn''t explain much about it. When Chi Kun mentioned it, it was merely to pass the time. Firstly, he was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to make it into Nirvana Learning Academy, so he randomly talked about it. Secondly, even if Mo Wuji made it into Nirvana Learning Academy, Mo Wuji''s head would have to be crooked to actually want to go to the Land of Mortals. "You also want to join the Land of Mortals?" After some time, Yu Nuode asked. Even Bai Yue looked at Mo Wuji in astonishment. He didn''t understand why Mo Wuji would choose to join the Land of Mortals? Could it be that Mo Wuji admired him? But he didn''t even know Mo Wuji. "Yes, this disciple is willing to join the Land of Mortals," Mo Wuji said resolutely. "Alright, what''s your name?" Yu Nuode didn''t ask any further. As long as a disciple makes it into Nirvana Learning Academy, joining any place was the disciple''s freedom. Mo Wuji bowed, "This disciple is Rogue Cultivator 2705." Rogue Cultivator 2705 was very famous in Nirvana Dao City but no one knew about him here. The only thing they knew was that Rogue Cultivator 2705''s results were not bad; he was within the top 30. Thus, no one found it weird when Mo Wuji reported his name. Everyone was only curious. It was so hard for a rogue cultivator to make it into Nirvana Learning Academy, why did he want to go to the Land of Mortals? Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705? Lian Linyun almost cried out in alarm. He only regained his calm after some time. He had never heard of Mo Wuji before but he knew about Rogue Cultivator 2705. Rogue Cultivator 2705 was the overall 22nd place. He slapped his head in frustration. He thought that Mo Wuji was near the 500th placing. He would never have expected that Mo Wuji was an existence in the top 30. The top 30 in the assessment were definitely experts among experts. Yu Nuode looked at the jade letter in his hands. He said in surprise, "Rogue Cultivator 2705, you''re the 22nd place?" Mo Wuji said respectfully, "Yes, this junior is the 22nd place." Yu Nuode turned to look at Bai Yue. In his heart he was thinking: Since when were there so many powerful rogue cultivators? He passed a storage ring to Mo Wuji and said, "These are your things. Inside, you would find your sect attire, identity token and nirvana points. You and Bai Yue will take the transfer array together and head to the Land of Mortals." After Mo Wuji walked to the transfer array, Yu Nuode pressed a button on the side. The words ''Land of Mortals'' appeared above them. A faint light wrapped around Mo Wuji and Bai Yue and the two of them disappeared. ¡­ In merely instant, Mo Wuji and Bai Yue landed on hard ground. What dumbfounded the two of them was that they were in a barren desert. In the middle of the desert, there was a weathered stone tablet. A few words could be faintly seen on the stone tablet: Land of Mortals. Except for this stone tablet, there were also some dilapidated houses. The moment the two of them landed, these houses collapsed under the spatial waves. Previously, Mo Wuji heard from Chi Kun that there were two to three people in the Land of Mortals. Only after personally visiting this place did Mo Wuji realise that Chi Kun didn''t even know what was the situation here. As they looked beyond the Land of Mortals, they saw mountains and rivers. However, those mountains and rivers had nothing to do with the Land of Mortals. Moreover, it was as Yu Nuode had said, the god spiritual energy here was very weak. Bai Yue''s gaze turned towards Mo Wuji. He said slowly, "Let''s introduce ourselves. My name is Bai Yue, I''m a true rogue cultivator. You must have a name, it can''t be Rogue Cultivator 2705, right?" Mo Wuji nodded and said, "I''m Mo Wuji. I''m also a true rogue cultivator." Bai Yue responded and turned slightly serious, "Since there are only the two of us in the Land of Mortals, how about this, I will be the Senior Brother while you will be the Junior Brother. Of course, if there''s anything you don''t know, you can feel free to ask me." Mo Wuji said indifferently, "There''s nothing that I don''t know and I don''t want to acknowledge a Senior Brother. The Land of Mortals is so big. You can go about with your own business while I go about mine." Mo Wuji came here to search for the tracks of the Agriculture Emperor. This was because his legacy was the Immortal Mortal Technique. If Bai Yue was an original inhabitant of the Land of Mortals, then he would have mind calling Bai Yue ''Senior Brother''. However, Bai Yue was the same as him, the two of them had just arrived. Moreover, Mo Wuji didn''t know what was Bai Yue''s purpose here, so Mo Wuji wasn''t going to recognise a random person as his senior brother. Chapter 999: Who’s The Senior Brother Chapter 999: Who¡¯s The Senior Brother Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Bai Yue harrumphed coldly, "If we don''t set down ground rules, how are we going to revitalise the Land of Mortals? Since you''re not willing, let''s have a battle. The winner will be the Senior Brother and the loser must listen to the winner. If you''re not even willing to do this, then please leave the Land of Mortals." "You want to revitalise the Land of Mortals?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. "Of course. If I don''t intend to revitalise the Land of Mortals, why would I come to this place where birds aren''t even willing to take a shit?" Bai Yue said agitatedly. At this point, Mo Wuji was sure that Bai Yue''s cultivation technique was related to the Immortal Mortal Technique. Otherwise, there was no reason why he would have come to the Land of Mortals, nor was there a reason why Bai Yue wanted to revitalise this place. If Bai Yue really cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique and had come to revitalise this place because of that, it would show that Bai Yue was a grateful person. Of course, it was also possible that Bai Yue came here in search for the true Immortal Mortal Technique. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji nodded, "Alright." When Bai Yue heard that Mo Wuji was willing to battle with him, he looked at Mo Wuji in shock. After some time, he said, "You''re really willing to battle with me?" "You didn''t hear wrongly. I''m willing to battle," Mo Wuji said with certainty. Bai Yue did not really make a move. He still stared at Mo Wuji and said, "Mo Wuji, how many puppets did you win in the seventh round?" "Two." Mo Wuji knew that the other party was thinking about. He still answered calmly. Bai Yue slowed his words down, "Do you know how many puppets I won?" He did not wait for Mo Wuji to answer, "I won six god puppets. If I wanted to go all-out, I might have even won the seventh puppet and obtain the 2nd place in this assessment. You still want to fight with me?" Bai Yue wasn''t bluffing when he said this. If he went all-out, he could really win a god puppet with a Heavenly God Level 5 cultivation. However, he would definitely be heavily injured after the battle. Still, winning a Heavenly God Level 5 puppet would earn him another 30 points. "Is there a difference? You passed. I also passed. If I went all-out, I could have even won ten god puppets." Mo Wuji said calmly. He also wasn''t bluffing. With his sacred arts, it wasn''t impossible for him to win a late-stage Heavenly God puppet. Moreover, god puppets could not be compared to cultivators. They lacked the flexibility of a cultivator. After all, not every puppet was like his Da Huang and had spiritual intelligence. Bai Yue fumed angrily but he calmed down. He maintained his reason as he said, "Alright. From the looks of it, your life has been too smooth-sailing and you haven''t met a person who was willing to teach you a lesson. Since that''s the case, you can make your move." Mo Wuji shook his head, "No, you can make your move. If I make my move, you wouldn''t even have a chance to retaliate." "Haha, you actually used my own words against me¡­" Bai Yue chortled loudly. He had seen wild people but he had never seen anyone as wild as Mo Wuji. After laughing, there was nothing else he could say. With a single step, he closed the distance between him and Mo Wuji. While he was in mid-air, he released a punch. Facing a kid in the intermediate Nascent God Stage like Mo Wuji, there was no need for him to use his magic treasure. He only needed one punch. This one punch was enough to teach Mo Wuji some character. A powerful domain came sweeping over. Mo Wuji inwardly nodded his head. This Bai Yue was indeed very strong. In its explosiveness, his domain also contained some form of spatial restraints. This definitely wasn''t something that an ordinary Nascent God could do. Among the tens of Nascent Gods that he killed in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, none of them could compare to Bai Yue. Mo Wuji didn''t even move. He let his whirlpool domain sweep outwards. Bai Yue''s domain instantly went loose; it was no longer able to restrain Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he also released a punch. Sacred art - Domain Crushing Fist. It was as though it was struck by a Sun that could rip through space, Bai Yue''s domain shattered like thin ice. The terrifying flame which seemed capable of burning everything came surging towards him. Bai Yue''s heart was filled with shock. Originally, Bai Yue only used half of his power in that punch. But now, he no longer held back, all his god elemental energy was channelled into his fist. "Boom!" The two bursts of god elemental energy clashed. Bai Yue felt that under that terrifying Sun, he was like a thin piece of paper. The searing hot elemental energy slammed against his chest. He lost control of his entire body as he was sent flying into the air. The pressure of death came looming over him. Bai Yue''s heart turned cold. He never expected that he would die here. Just as his body was about to be torn into pieces, that terrifying flame and god elemental energy suddenly disappeared. Bai Yue landed on the ground like a broken kite. He stared blankly at his charred chest. If Mo Wuji did not retract that punch, this char wouldn''t merely be on his skin, but throughout his entire body. So strong. Bai Yue''s heart started to shiver. He was sure that if he fought Ji Feiyan, Ji Feiyan definitely wouldn''t be his opponent. However, Mo Wuji was almost able to eliminate him with a single punch. No, Mo Wuji could have eliminated him with a single punch, it was just that Mo Wuji had shown mercy. To a peak genius like Bai Yue, the terrifying part about Mo Wuji''s punch wasn''t its power. Instead, its that it could be retracted according to will. This was not a weapon used by mortals, but a sacred art. If Mo Wuji could retract this punch with his will, then this meant something. This meant that Mo Wuji''s understandings towards the Laws of the Heaven and Earth were far superior to his. "Mo Wuji¡­ Senior Brother Mo, why are you only at the 22nd place? And why did you only win two god puppets in the seventh round?" After some time, Bai Yue finally came to his senses. He asked Mo Wuji with a look of shock. Mo Wuji laughed and said, "I only came because of the Land of Mortals. It''s enough for me to be in the top 500. Why would I need to be at the very top?" Bai Yue climbed up and bowed to Mo Wuji, "Many thanks to Senior Brother Mo for showing mercy. Bai Yue was like a frog in the well. I only just realised that Senior Brother is the strongest expert in this assessment." At this instant, Bai Yue completely understood. What Ji Feiyue? In front of his new senior brother, that Ji Feiyue also couldn''t even handle one punch. Mo Wuji sighed and said, "That''s only temporary. That Ji Feiyue is from the Star Concealing Mountain. I don''t know much about Star Concealing Mountain but I''m sure that it''s a top sect. One can imagine, after that person enters Nirvana Learning Academy, he would be soon able to step into the Heavenly God Stage. If we don''t improve, the gap between him and us would become increasingly small." After coming to God World, Mo Wuji realised that his cultivation speed had become increasingly slow. Moreover, this was after he had understood the true meaning of the Mortal Dao. If not for that, he might still be lingering in the early Nascent God Stage. "Senior Brother, do you also cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique?" Bai Yue suddenly asked. Mo Wuji hesitated briefly but he still nodded, "That''s right, my cultivation technique could be considered the Immortal Mortal Technique." To Mo Wuji, his current Immortal Mortal Technique was already completely different from the one passed down by the Agriculture Emperor. However, at the end of the day, it was the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique that brought him onto the path of cultivation. It was also the reason why he came to the Land of Mortals. "Senior Brother, I also cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique. However, after I stepped into the Nascent God Stage, my cultivation speed became extremely slow. I have been stuck in Nascent God Level 9 for tens of thousands of years and I still don''t have any progress. During this time, I found many god lattice stones, even a Four Star one, but I was unable to condense a god lattice to advance into the Heavenly God Stage¡­" Bai Yue was incredibly emotional. Mo Wuji knew that Bai Yue''s spiritual root quality was not bad. Although he didn''t know why Bai Yue chose to cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique, he knew the reason why Bai Yue was unable to advance any further. The true Immortal Mortal Technique was on him. Bai Yue was probably using an incomplete version. Mo Wuji hesitated slightly before saying, "Perhaps the Immortal Mortal Technique doesn''t need to condense a god lattice." "There''s no need to condense a god lattice? Then how would I advance to the Heavenly God Stage¡­" Bai Yue muttered to himself, seemingly feeling the bleakness in his path of cultivation. Condensing a god lattice was the way he could take a step further in his cultivation. Bai Yue had understood this principle a long time ago. But now, Mo Wuji suddenly told him that a Heavenly God did not need to have a god lattice. This was upending his previous beliefs and pursuits, causing him to suddenly lose his sense of direction. Mo Wuji also didn''t know what to say. He wasn''t sure whether the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal needed to condense a god lattice; he only knew this his Immortal Mortal Technique didn''t need to. He guessed that if he passed the true Immortal Mortal Technique to Bai Yue, Bai Yue should be able to solve this problem. However, Mo Wuji did not intend to pass it to Bai Yue. That Immortal Mortal Technique should have been passed down personally by the Agriculture Emperor. He didn''t even know Bai Yue, so he wasn''t going to casually give away such a valuable thing. This was unless one day when Bai Yue finally earned his recognition. Only then, would he pass the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique to Bai Yue. Bai Yue was able to transcend many stages beyond his own cultivation stage. Although this was related to the Immortal Mortal Technique, it also showed that his will was very strong. After a short time, he regained his calm. He placed the matter regarding the god lattice to the side and asked Mo Wuji, "Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel had already pervaded through the surroundings. After assessing the situation in the Land of Mortals, be said, "The Land of Mortals isn''t a place devoid of natural energy. It''s just that there isn''t a spirit gathering array here. Later, I would install a spirit storage channel and this place would become a cultivation land." In Nirvana Learning Academy, Mo Wuji wasn''t worried about absorbing god spiritual energy at an insane pace, and of people knocking up his door. "Senior Brother Mo, I just advanced into the Grade 4 God Array Master not long ago. Why don''t we work together to install a defensive array and spirit gathering array?" Bai Yue was very confident in his Array Dao. Mo Wuji clapped Bai Yue''s shoulders and said, "I can handle the installing of the arrays. You can help me do something. I have some friends in Nirvana Dao City. Help me fetch them here, then you can cultivate." The Land of Mortals was different from other places. If Mo Wuji had joined some other place, he would need to ask for permission in order to bring people in. But in the Land of Mortals, there was only the two of them. Moreover, Bai Yue acknowledged him as the Senior Brother. Thus, he could do as he pleased here. "Senior Brother should also be a Grade 4 God Array Master?" Bai Yue asked an irrelevant question. Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right, I''m a Grade 4 God Array Master." Bai Yue said in a hushed voice, "Senior Brother, since the both of us are Grade 4 God Array Masters, I have a way of installing a Grade 5 god array." Chapter 1000: Agriculture Emperors True Book Of Immortality Chapter 1000: Agriculture Emperor''s True Book Of Immortality Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Grade 4 God Array Masters can install a Grade 5 god array?" Mo Wuji looked at Bai Yue in disbelief. If he was asked to break open a Grade 5 god array, he should be able to do it. But if he was asked to install a Grade 5 god array while being in Grade 4, he really couldn''t do such a thing. This wasn''t a matter of ability, but knowledge. He had never learned of such a thing, but now you''re asking him to do it? Unless he made a sudden breakthrough, how was he going to do it? "That''s right. I''m also a Grade 4 God Array Master but I can install Grade 5 god arrays. Senior Brother, do you know how I was able to take part in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment?" Bai Yue asked seriously. Mo Wuji answered, You said you could eliminate a Heavenly God Level 4 puppet, so I guessed that you got into the assessment through the Duel Competition. It''s just that I had some doubts¡­" Mo Wuji had doubts as to how Bai Yue was able to obtain his placing jade token. With Rogue Cultivator Alliance being so shady, they definitely wouldn''t give Bai Yue a jade.token. Bai Yue laughed, "Senior Brother has guessed wrong. I am a Master Smith and I obtained a Master Smith Honour in the Equipment Dao Honour Tower. Thereafter, I directly got the rights to participate in the assessment. "You can forge intermediate grade god equipment?" Mo Wuji looked at Bai Yue in shock. Until now, he couldn''t even forge intermediate grade god equipment, but Bai Yue was actually able to do so. In the Equipment Dao, there weren''t Smith Kings. Those that could forge low-grade god equipment were God Smiths while those that could forge intermediate grade god equipment were Master Smiths. In the past, god equipment used to be classified as Grade 1 to Grade 9. However, after discovering that there were peak-grade god equipment, and even equipment which exceeded peak grade, god equipment grade was decided to be classified as peak, high, intermediate and low. Bai Yue nodded, "That''s right. Not only can I forge intermediate grade god equipment, the equipment I forge are extremely close to high grade. If I have better materials, and if my luck is particularly good, I might even be able to forge quasi-high-grade god equipment. Senior Brother, let me tell you. If all the array flags in a Grade 4 god array were in intermediate grade and if an energy circulation array was installed around the array core, the Grade 4 god array would rise by a level. This was the experience I obtained after countless experiments." "Oh, there''s this method?" Mo Wuji muttered to himself. He had actually employed such a method before. However, he didn''t forge the array flags as magic treasures. Instead, he used powerful magic treasures as the array core and array foundation. That way, the array would become sturdier. Seeing that Mo Wuji seemed to be considering the possibility, Bai Yue directly took out a pile of array flags that were on the level of magic treasures and started to install an array. In a short time, Bai Yue installed an energy circulation array. After installing the array, Bai Yue said, "Senior Brother, take a look. This is an energy circulation array." Mo Wuji had already come to an understanding. Bai Yue''s method was definitely creative. There was no need to talk about how Bai Yue''s array flags were all of high quality. Just from this energy circulation array alone, it was enough to raise the level of an array. Indeed, there was something that you could learn from everyone. Bai Yue has given him a lesson which allowed him to take a step further in the Array Dao. Although this was an extravagant method, it was still extremely valuable. "Thanks, Bai Yue. Since that''s the case, we will start installing the array." Mo Wuji clapped Bai Yue''s shoulders. He had recognised this junior brother. After they finished installing the arrays, he would pass the Immortal Mortal Technique to Bai Yue. This sort of array knowledge was clearly formed from the accumulation of countless years of experimentation. In particular, that energy circulation array was extremely useful; it would be able to improve the effectiveness of a spirit gathering array. What thing was priceless? Knowledge. With Bai Yue''s talent, if he wasn''t stuck in Nascent God Level 9, he would probably have already been in the God Monarch Stage. During this time that he had been stuck, he had been studying the Equipment and Array Dao. This was also the reason why Bai Yue was able to obtain the 4th place. ¡­ Mo Wuji and Bai Yue worked together to install the defensive array around the Land of Mortals. Bai Yue forged intermediate-grade array flags while Mo Wuji sent them into the array. With the two of them working together, the array looked better with each passing day. Ten days later, the defensive array and the spirit gathering array were complete. Dense god spiritual energy surged over. In an instant, the Land of Mortals started to brim with vitality and life. "Senior Brother, we have succeeded. With this defensive array, we would even be able to defend against a God King for half a day." Bai Yue stood up and looked at the defensive array belatedly. However, it was clearly a joke when Bai Yue talked about a God King attacking the Land of Mortals''s array. Just as the two were thinking that no one would attack their defensive array, it was attacked. Mo Wuji and Bai Yue simultaneously appeared at the entrance of their defensive array. When they opened their array, they saw a World God expert. This World God was wearing the deacon uniform of Nirvana Learning Academy. Clearly, he was a deacon of Nirvana Learning Academy. "Senior, why did you attack the defensive array of our Land of Mortals?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists and asked politely. This deacon did not use his higher cultivation to place pressure on Mo Wuji and Bai Yue. He also clasped his fists, "The two of you have just arrived at Nirvana Learning Academy, so you should not have seen the detailed rules on the Nirvana Learning Academy''s identity token." Mo Wuji asked doubtfully, "Wasn''t there only one rule?" The deacon chuckled, "That''s just the attitude that Nirvana Learning Academy has towards all its students. However, there''s still a set of regulations that everyone within Nirvana Learning Academy needs to follow. One of which is that you cannot casually install a spirit gathering array within Nirvana Learning Academy." Bai Yue asked in confusion, "Without a spirit gathering array, we will have no means of cultivating here." This deacon said calmly, "You can obtain god spiritual veins and plant them here. Alternatively, you can take part in the cultivation resources competition which takes place once every few years. Not only are there peak-grade god spiritual veins, there''s also the chance to cultivate in the Land of God Spiritual Energy, secret domains and high-tiered god pills." Mo Wuji came to an understanding, "The two of us are just Nascent Gods. How will we take part in this competition?" This deacon chuckled, "Then the two of you need to hurry and advance to the Heavenly God Stage. In Nirvana Learning Academy''s cultivation resource competition, the competitors must not exceed the Heavenly God Stage." No wonder why the disciples that passed Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment did not worry about the places that they were going. From the looks of it, the various powers in Nirvana Learning Academy had to depend on these newly entered disciples for cultivation resources. "May I ask when will the next cultivation resource competition be?" Bai Yue was already rubbing his fists eagerly. "There''s still 10 years and 3 months." After this deacon answered Bai Yue, he said sternly, "Your spirit gathering array has reached the level of a Grade 4 god array. It needs to be taken down immediately. Since the two of you have just entered Nirvana Learning Academy, this will be a warning. But if there''s a second time, the two of you will directly be expelled from Nirvana Learning Academy." ¡­ After the deacon left, Mo Wuji and Bai Yue both turned to glance at one another. Nirvana Learning Academy was safe but it definitely wasn''t a cultivation haven. Mo Wuji finally had a faint understanding why Nirvana Learning Academy was able to stand tall in God Continent for so long. This sort of competition incites struggles between the different powers within the Academy. If a power slackens, it would get trampled under the other powers. For a place like the Land of Mortals, it was probably the last place among all the powers in Nirvana Learning Academy. In reality, Mo Wuji guessed that if the Agriculture Emperor had not created a path which was extremely close to the Mortal Dao, ushering a new direction in the Dao, the Nirvana Learning Academy would have already retaken this piece of barren land. "Senior Brother, I originally came here in search of an opportunity to advance to the Heavenly God Stage. Thereafter, I would revitalise the Land of Mortals. From the looks of it, the Land of Mortals does not have that opportunity. I intend to go out in search of that opportunity before returning." Bai Yue was slightly disappointed. With that, Bai Yue seemed to have recalled something. He took out three jade tokens and said to Mo Wuji, "These jade tokens are for God Kings to cultivate in the Nirvanic River and listen to a Unity God preach about the Dao. You can auction them and use the god crystals to purchase god spiritual veins for our Land of Mortals." Mo Wuji did not reject it. He accepted the jade tokens and placed them in his storage ring. He laughed and said, "I will accept the jade token because you won''t have the time to go and sell these jade tokens. Also, there''s no need for you to go out in search of an opportunity to advance to the Heavenly God Stage. There''s one right here." Looking at Bai Yue''s look of astonishment, Mo Wuji retrieved a wooden box and handed it to Bai Yue, "Take a look at this." Bai Yue doubtfully opened the box. Instantly, his hand started to tremble and he almost dropped the wooden box onto the floor. He picked up the book within the box tightly, "This is the true Immortal Mortal Technique left behind by the Agriculture Emperor¡­" Even Bai Yue could feel that his hands were shaking. Ever since he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique, he had always dreamed of obtaining this true book. However, he would wake up and realise that it was a dream. Mo Wuji clapped Bai Yue''s shoulders, "That''s right. This is the true book of the Immortal Mortal Technique. Don''t you have one year in the Land of God Spiritual Energy? Go and cultivate. After you advance to the Heavenly God Stage, you can compete to obtain cultivation resources for the Land of Mortals." Bai Yue had already forcefully calmed himself down. He carefully placed the Immortal Mortal Technique in a jade box, kept it and said to Mo Wuji, "Senior Brother, no, from today onwards, Wuji is my closest brother. I will take a look at the Immortal Mortal Technique. After I advance to the Heavenly God Stage, I will return it to you." Mo Wuji laughed, "There''s no need to return it to me. I''m giving that manual to you." Before Bai Yue could ask anything, Mo Wuji continued, "Although I also cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique, it''s not the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique." Hearing that Mo Wuji wasn''t cultivating the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique, Bai Yue got anxious and hurriedly said, "Wuji, the Immortal Mortal Technique was created by the Agriculture Emperor. If you aren''t cultivating the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique, then there would definitely be flaws¡­" Bai Yue no longer addressed Mo Wuji as ''Senior Brother'', but called him by his name. The moment Mo Wuji gave him the Immortal Mortal Technique, he had regarded Mo Wuji as his greatest brother. Chapter 1001: Nirvana Learning Academy Chapter 1001: Nirvana Learning Academy Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji said solemnly, "Bai Yue, your spiritual root quality is very good, so I won''t be persuading you. But in reality, the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique also has flaws. It''s just that I don''t know where those flaws would be of a huge impact on you. If you are willing, you can change to my own Immortal Mortal Technique." "Wuji, I know I can''t persuade you either. However, I have already decided to cultivate the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique. I have been stuck on Nascent God Level 9 for far too long, so I''m extremely eager to break through and enter the Heavenly God Stage. I will leave the matters of the Land of Mortals to you. I will need to hurry and go to the Land of God Spiritual Energy to cultivate." Bai Yue did not hesitate to reject Mo Wuji''s offer. There was no need to talk about how Mo Wuji''s cultivation was lower than his. Even if Mo Wuji had a higher cultivation, how many geniuses were like the Agriculture Emperor? Mo Wuji indeed stronger than him, but that did not mean that Mo Wuji was stronger than a genius like the Agriculture Emperor. "May I ask whether Dao Friend Bai Yue is around?" Another voice sounded from outside the defensive array. The spirit gathering array had already been sealed, why was there another person? Mo Wuji questioningly opened the defensive array. Standing outside was a person that Mo Wuji detested, Ao Rong. Mo Wuji also recognised the person beside Ao Rong. This person was also equally detested. It was the Ao Clan''s God King Wide Search. Ao Rong acted as though he didn''t see Mo Wuji. He smiled at Bai Yue and said, "Dao Friend Bai Yue, I have come to offer you with benefits." Bai Yue knitted his brows slightly and said calmly, "Dao Friend Ao, I have already decided to join the Land of Mortals. I will not be going into secluded cultivation for a year, so I would have to disappoint Dao Friend Ao''s good intentions." Ao Rong waved his hand and said without being offended, "This time, I''m not here to invite you to the Ao Clan. Don''t you have three placings for God Kings to cultivate in the Nirvanic River? I have come to purchase them at high prices. You should know that those jade tokens don''t have any use for you. Sell them to me at the high price, and I would also owe you a favour." Bai Yue said calmly, "I''m sorry. This matter would have to be left to my senior brother. I will need to enter secluded cultivation soon. May the two of you please take your leave." "Your senior brother?" Ao Rong repeated doubtfully. However, Bai Yue did not have any intentions to continue answering. Mo Wuji waved his hand and said, "The two of you, please take your leave. I will be closing the array." "You are Bai Yue''s senior brother?" God King Wide Search''s experience was clearly higher than Ao Rong. The moment he heard Mo Wuji''s words, he knew that Mo Wuji might be Bai Yue''s senior brother. "Yes. However, I do not intend to sell these two jade tokens. If the two of you are interested, you can take a look at Nirvana Dao City''s auction." Although Mo Wuji did not want to continue offending the Ao Clan, he knew that he would definitely offend them if he didn''t want to offer them the jade tokens for the Nirvanic River. However, he would rather be destroyed than let the Ao Clan have these jade tokens. "Could it be that the two of you intend to hole up here all your lives?" God King Wide Search''s voice was icy cold. A God King like him had personally come to purchase the jade tokens from a Nascent God ant. This was already giving this ant a huge honour. However, not only did these two ants not invite them in, they even said such words. In God King Wide Search''s mind, his visit here represented that his Ao Clan would be taking this Nascent God under his wing, and Bai Yue should voluntarily offer the jade tokens. Even if he did offer god crystals, Bai Yue should respectfully and tactfully decline. The difference between a God King and a Nascent God was the same as the difference between the Ao Clan and a rogue cultivator. It simply couldn''t be measured. Did this Nascent God think that he would be freed of worries just because he entered Nirvana Learning Academy? That was an idiot''s way of thinking. Mo Wuji said calmly, "This is a matter between us. I do not dare to trouble the two of you to worry about us." "Very good." God King Wide Search stared at Mo Wuji coldly and turned to leave. Ao Rong also shot Mo Wuji a cold glance and said indifferently, "You will soon realise that the two of you can only barely survive in Nirvana Learning Academy." "Wuji, you offended Ao Rong previously?" Bai Yue was able to get this far as a rogue cultivator. Naturally, he wasn''t a simple person. He could see that there was some tension between Ao Rong and Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji snickered and looked into the distance, "The Ao Clan tried to kill me. If not for my friend, I would already be bones by now." Bai Yue inhaled deeply and said slowly, "Wuji, I will now go to the Land of God Spiritual Energy to cultivate. If I don''t step into the Heavenly God Stage, I wouldn''t come out." Mo Wuji nodded, "You can go and cultivate. I also need to make a trip to Nirvana Dao City." ¡­ Nirvana Learning Academy was truly relaxed. He wasn''t even questioned once as he was leaving the Academy. However, Mo Wuji was also very clear that there were some strands of spiritual will on him. That meant to say Nirvana Learning Academy seemed relaxed, but in reality, it monitored all actions in and out of the Academy. This improved Mo Wuji''s impression of Nirvana Learning Academy. When he was in the Land of Mortals, he did not sense any pressure or any feelings that he was being watched. Clearly, in Nirvana Learning Academy, the privacy of the various powers was protected. Previously, Mo Wuji had entered Nirvana Learning Academy through the plaza and the gold path. Now that he was leaving, he finally realised how vast and majestic Nirvana Learning Academy was. Right above Nirvana Learning Academy, floated three huge gold words - Nirvana Learning Academy. A faint gold staircase, which was at least 30 meter wide, extended from the outermost part of the Academy right into its depths. On the outermost periphery of Nirvana Learning Academy, there was a huge river which was hundreds of meters wide. What shocked Mo Wuji were the words floating above the river - Nirvanic River. Nirvanic River was a name that Mo Wuji had heard about a lot recently. Shouldn''t it be a Dao RIver? Why was it like a moat river coiling around the periphery of Nirvana Learning Academy? It shouldn''t be so simple. Mo Wuji did not continue thinking about it any further. This wasn''t related to him. At the top of the Nirvanic River, there was a stone arch bridge. After crossing the stone arch bridge, there was a 30-meter long white jade road. Mo Wuji was familiar with the road. This road led to Nirvana Dao City. The distance between Nirvana Learning Academy and Nirvana Dao City was definitely safe. Even back when Luo Yu wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he could only wait outside Nirvana Dao City. Even a Great Circle God King would not do anything within the boundaries of Nirvana Learning Academy. Although Mo Wuji had offended the Rogue Cultivators Alliance''s Luo Yu and the Ao Clan''s God King Wide Search, he was able to arrive at Nirvana Dao City safely. "Wuji, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The moment Mo Wuji stepped into God Joy Resthouse, Chi Kun came to greet him. Behind Chi Kun, was the veiled Yu Chuo. When he saw Chi Kun and Yu Chuo, Mo Wuji was also rather happy. After all, the two of them could be considered his friends and they had both helped him before. Although he had given them some high-grade Green Dew Rice in return, that rice really couldn''t count for much. "Brother Chi, Senior Sister Yu Chuo, let''s go in first." Mo Wuji also didn''t know why Chi Kun and Yu Chuo were here. He was sure that the two of them didn''t know that he had the jade tokens for Nirvanic River. ¡­ By the time Mo Wuji returned, Chi Bing had already emerged from seclusion. When she saw Mo Wuji come in, she smiled and said, "Congratulations Wuji. You have entered Nirvana Learning Academy as you have planned." Chi Chuan, Shuai Guo and Da Huang also hurried out of their rooms. Mo Wuji said, "This time, I''ve come back to bring all of you to Nirvana Learning Academy. At least, no one would come and disturb us within the Academy." Chi Bing nodded, "That''s right. As a rogue cultivator for all these years, I was able to continuously raise my power but I never had the peace to study on my own dao arts. This time, I get to cling to your generosity and have some safe years in Nirvana Learning Academy." Chi Kun just came to realise that there was actually a God King expert beside Mo Wuji. He couldn''t help but blush with shame. Back when he tried to befriend Mo Wuji, it was entirely because of Mo Wuji''s ability to grow Green Dew Rice. Eventually, they successfully became friends through their chats. Moreover, he did not know that Chi Bing could become a God King because Mo Wuji had concocted a Tier 5 god pill, the God Jade Pill, for her. If he knew that, then he definitely wouldn''t be so calm. After eagerly greeting Chi Bing, Chi Kun said awkwardly, "Wuji, regarding High Firmament God Sect, I didn''t manage to push my weight and I almost got you caught and grabbed back to the sect. I''m truly sorry." Mo Wuji smiled as though it wasn''t important and he said, "Brother Chi didn''t reveal that I was in disguise. That was already more than enough. Other matters aren''t important. Moreover, back in High Firmament City, if not for Senior Sister Yu and Brother Chi, I would have already been killed by the Ao Clan." Mo Wuji was truly grateful towards Chi Kun for not revealing that he had been in disguise. Otherwise, Ren Fei would have already noticed him back in Pill Dao Honour Tower. Moreover, Mo Wuji had engraved the help the two of them offered him in High Firmament City in his heart. "Junior Brother Mo, now that you entered Nirvana Learning Academy, are you only going to come out after you advance to the Heavenly God Stage?" Yu Chuo had always felt that Mo Wuji wasn''t simple. It turned out that her intuition was correct. Previously, Mo Wuji seemed very ordinary. However, he was able to pass Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment and even obtained the 22nd place. Mo Wuji smiled, "In my hands, I have three placings for God Kings to enter the Nirvanic River and listen to a Unity God preach about the Dao. I intend to auction them in Nirvana Dao City and buy some god spiritual veins." At this instant, Mo Wuji was especially clear about how valuable these placings were to God Kings in God Continent. He believed that he would definitely be able to obtain several god spiritual veins after auctioning these placings. If he didn''t have any god spiritual veins, then he couldn''t even cultivate in his Land of Mortals. "What?" Chi Kun and Yu Chuo both stood up agitatedly. Yu Chuo was so shocked that her veil almost fell off, "Junior Brother Mo, you say that you have placings for God Kings to enter Nirvanic River?" From the way her voice trembled, it could be seen how important the placing was to her. Chapter 1002: Extracting The Elements From The Undying World Chapter 1002: Extracting The Elements From The Undying World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Yes." Mo Wuji had never intended to conceal the fact from Chi Kun and Yu Chuo. If he was going to auction the Nirvanic River placings in Nirvana Dao City, Yu Chuo and Chi Kun would eventually find out about it. Yu Chuo''s and Chi Kun''s reactions were within Mo Wuji''s prediction. If High Firmament God Sect didn''t want the placing, they wouldn''t have placed so much emphasis on Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. "Junior Brother Mo, I know I shouldn''t say such words, but I urgently wish to obtain a placing to enter the Nirvanic River. This placing wouldn''t be for me, but my great-grandfather." As she said this, Yu Chuo bowed towards Mo Wuji. She continued, "Many years ago, my Yu Clan faced a calamity. To save my mother, my great grandfather damaged his dao foundations. Not only would the Nirvanic River allow a person to gain insights into the Unity God Stage, it could also recover damaged dao foundations¡­" Before she even finished speaking, Yu Chuo hurriedly brought out a storage ring and passed it to Mo Wuji, "Junior Brother Mo, my most valuable item is this peak-grade god spiritual vein. This was something that my great-grandfather left for me. I know that a peak-grade god spiritual vein cannot be compared to such a placing but I don''t have anything more valuable than it." Mo Wuji actually accepted the storage ring. After which, he handed a jade token to Yu Chuo and said, "Senior Sister Yu, I did not intend to take anything from you. It''s just that my Land of Mortals doesn''t have any god spiritual energy and I need to plant some god spiritual veins in it. Otherwise, my Land of Mortals would be no different from barren land." When Chi Kun heard that Mo Wuji had the jade token placings for God Kings to enter Nirvanic River, he also wanted to ask Mo Wuji for one. However, after Yu Chuo asked, he went silent. High Firmament God Sect did need the jade token. However, there was friction between his High Firmament God Sect and Mo Wuji, and this friction wasn''t small. The only point of elation was that this friction had yet to develop into a true conflict. However, Chi Kun truly couldn''t ask Mo Wuji for another jade token. "Wuji, are you going to auction the remaining two jade tokens?" Chi Kun hesitated before asking. Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes. If Brother Chi needs it for yourself, I will not hesitate to give one to you. It''s just that this jade token doesn''t only belong to me, but also to my junior brother back in the Land of Mortals. If Brother Chi intends to give the jade token to High Firmament God Sect, then I would be powerless to help you." There was no need for him to be courteous. Chi Kun was his friend, but High Firmament God Sect was far from that. If he hadn''t been cautious, he might not have even participated in the assessment. Instead, he might have been caught and dragged back to High Firmament God Sect. If he was really captured by High Firmament God Sect, his consequences would be unimaginable. "Then I will invite the people from my sect to participate in the auction. I wonder¡­" Chi Kun asked. Mo Wuji laughed faintly, "Of course that''s possible. To me, the more participants, the better." Yu Chuo, who had been extremely emotional to have received the jade token, had already calmed down. She kept the jade token and said, "Junior Brother Mo, I heard that you need to plant spiritual veins in the Land of Mortals? Is it to increase the god spiritual energy for cultivation?" Mo Wuji answered, "Yes. This is because we are restricted by the rules of Nirvana Learning Academy. Currently, the Land of Mortals is devoid of god spiritual energy. There''s no way that we can cultivate." Yu Chuo shook her head and said, "Junior Brother Mo, I''m afraid that you have been tricked. If I''m not wrong, it should have been a deacon that told you that you needed to plant your own god spiritual veins to cultivate in the Land of Mortals." "That''s right." Mo Wuji nodded his head doubtfully. Yu Chuo sighed, "That way would indeed increase the god spiritual energy. However, I''m sure that your god spiritual vein would be depleted in less than a year. No matter how many god spiritual veins you plant, the results would be the same. This is because your god spiritual energy would be swept away by the spirit gathering arrays in the surrounding. There''s no way that you can stop it. Previously, someone else had the same idea as you. After he entered the Land of Mortals, he started to gather large amounts of god spiritual veins and brought people into Nirvana Learning Academy to cultivate. However, this person wasn''t able to last for more than a year. This was because, after a year, the god spiritual veins'' energy would be sucked away by Nirvana Learning Academy''s spirit gathering away, and they would be depleted." "Why is there such a thing?" Mo Wuji was slightly speechless. If there was such a case, how was he going to bring Chi Bing and co. to cultivate in Nirvana Learning Academy? Yu Chuo continued, "Actually the Land of Mortals is also an elemental dispersal spot. Even if you install a spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy that you gathered could not be used to cultivate. This is because the spiritual energy would lack a certain Law of the Heaven and Earth. Of course, this is with the exception of one kind of people, those that cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique. Do you know why the Land of Mortals occupies a large plot of land in Nirvana Learning Academy? It''s because it is an elemental dispersal spot. Back then, after the Agriculture Emperor chose the Land of Mortals, he did not install a spirit gathering array. However, when he cultivated, he was still able to absorb insane amounts of god spiritual energy. It was exactly because of this that the Agriculture Emperor didn''t have any god ties with others in Nirvana Learning Academy." Mo Wuji went silent. If the Agriculture Emperor could cultivate in the Land of Mortals, then he would definitely be able to do so too. However, this wasn''t the same for Chi Bing and Chi Chuan. When Yu Chuo saw Mo Wuji''s silence, she continued, "Eventually, there were more disciples in the Land of Mortals. At the same time, the surrounding powers started to install defensive arrays to prevent their god spiritual energy from flowing into the Land of Mortals. The Agriculture Emperor had achieved great success in the Array Dao. It was rumoured that he was a Grade 6 God Array King and that he could even install a Quasi-Grade 7 god array. He thought of a method; he wanted to install an Unrestrained Nine Element God Array. If he successfully installed that array, not only would the Land of Mortals become rich in god spiritual energy, anyone could cultivate here without any restrains. This god array required nine peak-grade god spiritual veins as the array foundation. Ultimately, the Agriculture Emperor died during his pursuits for the peak-grade god spiritual vein." Mo Wuji asked in confusion, "For an expert like the Agriculture Emperor, why was it so hard for him to obtain nine peak-grade god spiritual veins?" Yu Chuo smiled ruefully, "Those nine peak-grade god spiritual veins the Agriculture Emperor was searching for were true peak-grade god spiritual veins. Our god peak-grade god spiritual veins could only be considered half-peak-grade god spiritual veins. In fact, they might not even be half-peak-grade. This was because the Laws over God Continent had been damaged. True peak-grade god spiritual veins no longer exist. By chance, there might be one or two of them left behind by ancient existences. Even the one that I just gave you could only be considered a half-peak-grade god spiritual vein." Mo Wuji suddenly felt his lips twitching. Just now, he was delighted to have obtained a peak-grade god spiritual vein. Now, he realised that it was a fake. What half-peak-grade? This was simply a high-grade god spiritual vein which was above average. Chi Bing suddenly said, "Wuji, since that''s the case, I will not be going to the Land of Mortals. I have just entered the God King Stage and I would also need some time to temper myself. You can bring Chi Chuan to the Land of Mortals. If it''s possible, you have Chi Chuan change to the Immortal Mortal Technique. His spiritual roots quality is too lacking. Even if he cultivates other techniques, it wouldn''t have any meaning." Mo Wuji knew that Chi Bing''s words were said out of helplessness. He could only say, "Sister Bing, I will think of ways to allow the Land of Mortals cultivatable." Even if a spirit gathering array was installed in the Land of Mortals, those that did not cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique wouldn''t be able to absorb the energy. Now, the deacon of Nirvana Learning Academy didn''t even allow him to install a spirit gathering array. Life was tough. "There''s no need to think too much. First, auction these two jade tokens for the Nirvanic River," Chi Bing consoled Mo Wuji. ¡­ The news of the two placings for God Kings to enter the Nirvanic River being auctioned in Nirvana Dao City spread across God Continent like wildfire. In a single night, God Kings from various sects and sect heads all rushed to Nirvana Dao City. They all shared the same purpose: to obtain a placing to enter Nirvanic River. One must know that this opportunity was simply akin to a dream come true. After obtaining these placings, no power would want to auction such placings. Back when the Gold Nirvana Dao Sand appeared in Dew Drop God City, many God Kings missed out on the opportunity. They weren''t willing to miss out on this one. High Firmament God Sect''s Elder Ren Fei wanted to use Chi Kun to get to Mo Wuji but Mo Wuji couldn''t even be bothered with him. The two placings were auctioned in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Together with the one that Yu Chuo gave him, Mo Wuji earned a total of five peak-grade god spiritual veins. At the same time, he got six high-grade god spiritual veins and 24 million high-grade god crystals. Although these peak-grade god spiritual veins weren''t truly peak-grade, they were still much needed. After the two jade tokens were auctioned, Mo Wuji bade farewell to Chi Bing and brought Chi Chuan, Shuai Guo and Da Huang to the land of Mortals. The matter of rebuilding the Land of Mortals was left to the three of them. Mo Wuji chose to enter secluded cultivation. To him, there was an important matter which he needed to attend to. Previously, he had never found a safe a stable place. Now that he finally found a safe place, he needed to quickly extract the three Origin Beads from his Undying World and build his own world. This matter was extremely risky. If he was not careful, he might destroy his World Channel. In turn, his world would disappear. Mo Wuji even suspected that he would remain in Nascent God Level 6 for his entire life. In the heart of the Land of Mortals, Mo Wuji built multiple defensive arrays around himself. After instructing Shuai Guo and Da Huang repeatedly, Mo Wuji started his secluded cultivation. ¡­ Back when he first formed his Undying World, he was surrounded by the Lightning Calamity. After his Undying World absorbed the Earth Origin Bead, Mo Wuji started to gather the different Origin Beads and tried to make use of them to perfect his Undying World. However, when he gained a new enlightenment on his Mortal Dao, Mo Wuji realised how wrong his method had been. He had almost destroyed his own world. After removing everything from his Undying World, Mo Wuji''s 107 meridians circulated around his World Channel. His consciousness had sunk into his Undying World and he tried to extract the Earth Origin Bead. Until now, Mo Wuji finally realised how serious his mistake had been. In his own world, he was actually unable to find the source of the earth elemental energy. He could only sense that it was present. This caused goosebumps to appear on Mo Wuji''s back. If he actually gathered all the Origin Beads of the five elements, would the Undying World still be his? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji no longer cared about his vitality and energy. He furiously sucked away the vitality within the Undying World and extracted the elemental energy within his World Channel. Chapter 1003: Mortal World Chapter 1003: Mortal World Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even if this might spend 90% of his vitality, he was going to extract those three Origin Beads. He did not believe that he wouldn''t be able to find the fish in a dried pond. Following Mo Wuji''s decision to suck away the vitality within himself and his World Channel, his skin started to wither. Mo Wuji''s Undying World was formed from his World Channel and his World Channel was one of his 108 meridians. Thus, the life force from within the Undying World was also being sucked away. At the same time, the energy which formed the world was also being extracted. Even if Mo Wuji was any more capable, he was unable to do this without losing his vital blood. His skin withered, his vital blood evaporated, and his bones turned grey¡­ No matter what happened, Mo Wuji maintained his clarity. He definitely wasn''t going to faint. After an unknown amount of time, Mo Wuji felt as though he could no longer endure it any further. However, at the same time, the earth elemental energy within his Undying World could no longer dance throughout the world; they recondensed to form a bead. Before this Earth Origin Bead could fall onto the ground, Mo Wuji used a jade box to store it and placed a seal over the jade box. After the Earth Origin Bead was extracted, it became much easier to extract the Metal and Water Origin Beads. By the time Mo Wuji completely extracted the three Origin Beads and stored them in jade boxes, his life force was like a candle at the end of its wick. The green plains within the Undying World rapidly withered. Because the elemental energy within the Undying World was all extracted, it reverted back to a grey and ugly pearl. The world within the pearl was extremely narrow and dark. Mo Wuji, however, heaved a sigh of relief. At least his Undying World hadn''t collapsed. He hurriedly threw some important things into the grey world, then he furiously circulated his Immortal Mortal Technique. He couldn''t install a spirit gathering array, but that didn''t mean that he couldn''t absorb god spiritual energy from elsewhere, right? The speed of Mo Wuji''s Immortal Mortal Technique was even more abnormal than the Agriculture Emperor''s Immortal Mortal Technique. In a short time, a god spiritual whirlpool formed above Mo Wuji. Boundless amounts of god spiritual energy swept over and gathered above Mo Wuji. This was Nirvana Learning Academy, not a place devoid of god spiritual energy. In Nirvana Learning Academy, only the Land of Mortals was devoid of god spiritual energy. However, everywhere else in Nirvana Learning Academy were among the top cultivation places in the entire God Continent. The moment Mo Wuji started absorbing, the god spiritual energy came surging with such energy that it couldn''t be stopped. This was also one reason why Mo Wuji wanted to come to Nirvana Learning Academy. Even if he caused a scene here, no one would dare to attack his defensive array. Although no one touched Mo Wuji''s defensive array, his Land of Mortals had become a place of focus. The deacon from Nirvana Learning Academy came back to visit. When he noticed that Mo Wuji was cultivating the energy sucked over from other places, he could only turn and leave. Even if a person sucked over all the god spiritual energy in his cultivation, it was none of his business. Chi Chuan, Da Huang and co. all heaved a sigh of relief. Since Mo Wuji entered seclusion, there was no news from him for three whole years. During these three years, they had already refurbished the Land of Mortals to what Mo Wuji had planned. Now, there was finally a stir from Mo Wuji''s spot. Thus, they no longer needed to be worried about Mo Wuji. As for the cultivators that came to visit the Land of Mortals, they were all stopped by Chi Chuan. This was the Nirvana Learning Academy. As long as he did not invite anyone in, no one would casually try to attack their defensive array. Because the Land of Mortals''s defensive array remained closed, there were gradually fewer visitors. The speed that Mo Wuji absorbed energy became faster and faster. At the very beginning, the energy only came from his immediate surroundings. Towards the end, rich god spiritual energy came from as far as a few hundreds of meters. Chi Chuan hurriedly said, "Da Huang, Shuai Guo, hurry and cultivate. This place is very safe. I, alone, am enough to keep watch." The reason why Chi Chuan didn''t cultivate was because he was waiting for Mo Wuji to impart the Immortal Mortal Technique. His current cultivation speed was simply too slow. Mo Wuji rarely had such a chance to cultivate so freely. With the circulation of his Immortal Mortal Technique, his vital blood was rapidly nourished and his grey bones started to recover their vitality¡­ Two years later, the aura around Mo Wuji suddenly expanded. All his meridians became wider and the pace at which he absorbed energy became even faster. His Undying World also started to expand. Although it no longer had elemental energy, it now contained a hint of the Laws of Mo Wuji''s Mortal Dao. Nascent God Level 7. Mo Wuji finally calmed down. He discovered that after extracting the three Origin Beads from his Undying World, his cultivation speed had increased significantly. Originally, a portion of the energy which he absorbed would seep into his Undying World. Now, his Undying World only developed together with his personal Dao Laws. Everything that he had insights on would appear within his Undying World. And following the expansion of his Undying World, his understanding towards the Mortal Dao became more profound. His world was now linked to his Mortal Dao. It would no longer be suitable to call it the Undying World. From now on, his world would be called the Mortal World. At this instantly, Mo Wuji could distinctly feel the effects of the Mortal World. When he started to consciously circulate energy, it would pass through or communicate with his Mortal World. Mo Wuji soon felt elated. His Mortal World could clearly grow together with him. The premise was that whenhe cultivated, he would need to place his Mortal World within his dao circulation path. In the six years of secluded cultivation, Mo Wuji had successfully broken through into Nascent God Level 8. On the eighth year, he stepped into Nascent God Level 9. At this moment, his Mortal World had expanded to become a perfect world. Although it was still a patch of grey, Mo Wuji felt that this world was much more perfect than his previous Undying World. At least, in this dull Mortal World, there were various Laws. These Laws were all formed from his own Dao Laws. Among which, there were the Laws of the Five Elements. There were even the Laws of Wind, Lightning, Ice and Darkness. Although these Laws were weak, they were clearly growing. One day, when he finally achieves his Dao, his Mortal World would become the most supreme world in the universe. On the ninth year, Mo Wuji was still in Nascent God Level 9. His Mortal World continued to grow and was now 90 miles long. On the tenth year¡­ Mo Wuji advanced once more. What shocked him was that he didn''t step into the Heavenly God Stage. Instead, he stepped into Nascent God Level 10. There was also the Peak Nascent God Stage? Why hadn''t he heard of this before? Mo Wuji stopped something and he reached for something in the air. He caught an enigmatic feeling within his palms. Even though it had been a simple grab, he seemed to capture the entire space within his hands. Mo Wuji released a deep breath. Compared to Nascent God Level 6, his power had risen by multiple folds? With his power at Nascent God Level 10, he didn''t need to fear a cultivator at Heavenly God Level 0. This definitely wasn''t due to his Immortal Mortal Technique alone. His Mortal World also helped. Now, his Mortal World was already hundred miles in radius. Although the Laws were weak, they were complete. Mo Wuji''s spiritual world swept outwards. Thereafter, his figure flashed and he disappeared from his spot. ¡­ Bai Yue headed back to the Land of Mortals excitedly. In the year that Mo Wuji gave him the Agriculture Emperor''s true Immortal Mortal Technique, he was able to step into the Heavenly God Stage within Nirvana Learning Academy''s Land of God Spiritual Energy. After which, he rented an immortal cave and went into secluded cultivation for nine years. During those nine years, not only did he stabilise his cultivation, he also stepped into Heavenly God Level 2. He would slowly recoup the years that he had lost. This time, he had returned because Nirvana Learning Academy''s cultivation resource competition would be starting soon. Although he had advanced to the Heavenly God Stage, he knew that Mo Wuji was still in the Nascent God Stage. Thus, he had to fight for some cultivation resources for the Land of Mortals. However, the moment he opened the Land of Mortals''s defensive array, he was slightly dumbfounded. This was the Land of Mortals? Dense god spiritual energy circulated around the heart of the Land of Mortals. At the same time, a wide wooden path extended from the entrance to the heart. Green patches of grass grew tenderly. At the same time, a river winded around these gardens, leaving a soothing impression. Ten eastern styled buildings were erected around the Land of Mortals. How was this the same barren land? "Who are you?" Chi Chuan stared questioningly towards Bai Yue. He did not open the defensive array. "He''s Bai Yue. In the future, he will be your senior brother." Mo Wuji''s voice came timely. "Chi Chuan greets Senior Brother Bai Yue." Chi Chuan hurriedly bowed towards Bai Yue. He had heard Mo Wuji mention Bai Yue before. Mo Wuji smiled, "Bai Yue, this is Chi Chuan. In the future, he would also be a man of our Land of Mortals. Also, congratulations on stepping into the Heavenly God Stage and advancing to Heavenly God Level 2. "Wuji, in this time that I''m not around, you actually made the Land of Mortals so beautiful," Bai Yue said happily. Mo Wuji laughed, "This is all due to Chi Chuan''s efforts." "Oh right, why can''t I see through your cultivation?" This was the thing that truly left Bai Yue curious. Now that he was in Heavenly God Level 2, he should be able to tell Mo Wuji''s cultivation at a single glance. But the truth was that Mo Wuji''s cultivation seemed very hazy to him. He could not see through it. Mo Wuji''s aura flickered. Then he laughed, "What about now?" "You''re in Nascent God Level 9?" Bai Yue could finally discern Mo Wuji''s cultivation. He could never have understood that there would be a Level 10 to the Nascent God Stage. Mo Wuji nodded, "It could be considered so." "That''s amazing. I never thought that your improvements would be even more than mine. There will still be a few months till Nirvana Learning Academy''s cultivation resource competition. You''re in Nascent God Level 9 while I''m in Heavenly God Level 2. Even if we can''t obtain the best resources, we should be able to win a spirit gathering array, right?" Bai Yue said excitedly. "Right. After I impart the Immortal Mortal Array to Chi Chuan, we will go prepare for the competition," Mo Wuji answered. He did not need to have a spirit gathering array to cultivate here. However, there were other people here. Moreover, the god spiritual grass within the Land of Mortals would require large amounts of god spiritual energy. Chapter 1004: Transfer Array of the Nirvana Ocean Chapter 1004: Transfer Array of the Nirvana Ocean Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Because God Continent had a powerhouse like Nirvana Learning Academy, big incidents rarely occurred. The biggest incident would have been the assessment to recruit disciples into Nirvana Learning Academy about ten years ago. So while there were no major incidents in God Continent, there was a minor one in Nirvana Learning Academy recently. That was the fight for resources in Nirvana Learning Academy which only happens once in a century. In God Continent, no other place surpassed Nirvana Learning Academy in terms of cultivation resources. It was also the only place with the most complete laws of Heaven and Earth. While this fight for resources occurred once every century, almost all the Gods of God Continent would be focused on this incident. Nirvana Learning Academy was the miniature version of the entire of God Continent. Almost all the big sects had their own forces within Nirvana Learning Academy. In such a fight, the results would signify which forces would expand even more. In fact, within Nirvana Learning Academy, there were quite a number of cultivators who did not belong to Nirvana Learning Academy, but were cultivating there. These cultivators were the various forces'' main targets to nurture. Because these cultivators didn''t belong to Nirvana Learning Academy, they were heavily restricted during their cultivation. They were also not allowed to use the public resources provided by Nirvana Learning Academy. Even so, the conditions were still much better than if they were to cultivate outside Nirvana Learning Academy. Besides the Land of Mortals, which had a big turf, all the other forces in Nirvana Learning Academy had limited areas as well as limited sources of god spiritual energy. Regardless of which force, they wouldn''t allow too many people into Nirvana Learning Academy to cultivate. Once too many people were allowed in, the cultivation resources would have to be divided with even more people. Eventually, it would be better to cultivate elsewhere other than Nirvana Learning Academy. After all, before becoming a God King, the advantages of the seemingly complete laws of Heaven and Earth in Nirvana Learning Academy wouldn''t be fully reflected. Nirvana Learning Academy did have a few experts who would discuss their Dao. However, if you were not a disciple of Nirvana Learning Academy, you could only cultivate in your own area and not be able to listen in on such Dao discussions. Because of Nirvana Learning Academy''s open system, all the forces would do their best to snatch for as much cultivation resources as possible during this fight. Nirvana Learning Academy had also placed great emphasis on this ''once in a century'' fight for resources. The various forces of Nirvana Learning Academy had come together for countless meetings and discussions on how to satisfy everyone during this fight for resources. The only force that didn''t participate in the discussions and meetings was the Land of Mortals. The Land of Mortals didn''t even have a single Heavenly God cultivator so they would not dare participate in this fight for resources. No one from the Land of Mortals even stood up to express their desire to participate in the fight for cultivation resources. Therefore, Nirvana Learning Academy''s fight for resources automatically excluded the Land of Mortals. ¡­ After Mo Wuji stopped cultivating, the god spiritual energy of the Land of Mortals became weaker. Fortunately, Da Huang was still cultivating with all of his 108 meridians. The difference between Mo Wuji and Da Huang was that Da Huang didn''t have the special meridians which Mo Wuji had. Hence, Da Huang''s absorption of god spiritual energy was not as powerful as Mo Wuji. However, that was only in comparison to Mo Wuji. When compared against others, Da Huang''s rate was already considered terrifying. Da Huang was also able to sweep in the god spiritual energy from his surroundings for both Shuai Guo and himself to cultivate. After Bai Yue went to Nirvana Learning Academy to sign up for the fight for cultivation resources, Mo Wuji was fully focused on imparting the Immortal Mortal Technique to Chi Chuan. He taught Chi Chuan how to open meridians to cultivate as well as how to give up on cultivating with spiritual channels. When Chi Chuan started secluded cultivation and as the idle Mo Wuji was prepared to visit Nirvana Learning Academy''s assignment hall, Bai Yue returned. "You''ve been hurt?" Noticing Bai Yue''s injuries, Mo Wuji furrowed his brows. Nirvana Learning Academy was one of the safest places. Unless both parties agreed to fight on the battle stage, people usually wouldn''t get hurt there. Bai Yue nodded, "I met a disgusting fella who challenged me to the battle stage. If it wasn''t for the elder at the battle stage who intervened, I would have been killed by that b*stard." "Was he from the Ao Clan?" Mo Wuji instantly recalled the disgusting God King from the Ao Clan. He was well aware that the Ao Clan wouldn''t let himself and Bai Yue off easily. Bai Yue shook his head. "It wasn''t the Ao Clan. It was the genius Gai Ji from the Single Return God Sect. He was in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8 and he was much stronger than me." "When you were in the Nascent God Stage Level 9, you were able to defeat a Heavenly God Stage Level 4 expert. Now that you''re in the Heavenly God Stage Level 2, you can''t beat Gai Ji? You also don''t look like the type who would cause trouble, so why did Gai Ji want to challenge you?" Mo Wuji questioned. Bai Yue and Mo Wuji were slightly similar in some sense. As a rogue cultivator, if others didn''t pick a fight, they would usually not find trouble for themselves. Unless there was an exception to some matters, then some fights would be inevitable. "It was the problem with the placings." Bai Yue continued, "Ten years ago, Ran Hui represented the Single Return God Sect to participate in the assessment of Nirvana Learning Academy. He obtained 6th place. Because he didn''t make it into the top 5, he lost one Dao Fruit. Among the top 5, I am the only rogue cultivator with no backers. Gai Ji of the Single Return God Sect took his anger out on me and provoked me at the registration. Even though Gai Ji was only in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8, his strength was at the peak of a pinnacle. Out of the ten great Heavenly Gods in Nirvana Learning Academy, Gai Ji was ranked number six. Without mentioning the average experts in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage, even those who were half a step into the God Monarch Stage might not be a match for him. He was exceedingly vicious and had killed many genius disciples of the smaller forces. Now that I''ve been rescued by the enforcer elder, I doubt he will let me off easily. During the fight for the resources organised by Nirvana Learning Academy, he would undoubtedly strike again." "Since that is the case, let me deal with him when that time comes." Mo Wuji suddenly wanted to test and see how a Nascent God Stage Level 10 expert like himself would fare against a peak grade Heavenly God. Bai Yue said solemnly, "You might not be able to match him. He is, by far, the strongest Heavenly God I''ve seen. Nirvana Learning Academy has been established for so many years and has that much cultivation resources over the years. It was certainly not by luck that Gai Ji was able to be ranked in the top ten." Mo Wuji revealed a slight smile. "Don''t worry, I should be able to handle him. I am also considered to be a Heavenly God with a slightly different cultivation technique." Mo Wuji wasn''t speaking blindly. If he were to follow accordingly to the levels, Mo Wuji''s Nascent God Stage Level 10 should be equivalent to the normal Heavenly God Stage Level 1. However, because his Grand Dao was the Mortal Dao, he was able to condense a world, which only a World God could condense, while he was only in the Heavenly Mortal Stage. As compared to an ordinary cultivator, he was considered much more experienced. If he hadn''t taken the long route, his Mortal World would have become a Magnificent World. Bai Yue was still doubtful of Mo Wuji''s words even though he knew how terrifying Mo Wuji could be. Just like Mo Wuji claimed, if Bai Yue were to let Mo Wuji attack first, he wouldn''t even have a chance to retaliate. He still didn''t know much about Mo Wuji''s true strength. Regardless, when snatching for resources, he simply had to stay by Mo Wuji''s side and look out for each other''s backs. At the thought of this, Bai Yue didn''t continue arguing with Mo Wuji about Gai Ji. "Wuji, I''ve accepted an assignment, so once I''m back from it, we will head to participate in the fight for resources together. If the battle for resources has started and I have not returned, you should not participate first. The Immortal Mortal Technique is different from the other techniques. Even if we don''t install energy gathering array, we could still absorb god spiritual energy to cultivate." Upon hearing about the sect''s assignment, Mo Wuji realised that he had completely forgotten about it. Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask Bai Yue what kind of assignment he took up, a deep voice was heard. "Disciples participating in the fight for resources in three months, please gather at the Nirvana Learning Stage with your disciple token." Mo Wuji knew of the Nirvana Learning Stage. It was at the suspended plaza in Nirvana Learning Academy and it had a radius of over 5000 metres. "What assignment did you take up?" Mo Wuji didn''t take the announcement to heart as he was more concerned about the assignment Bai Yue took up. Bai Yue had offended the Single Return God Sect and also the Ao Clan. Leaving Nirvana Learning Academy now would certainly invite trouble. "To Nirvana Ocean of Extinction¡­" "Nirvana Ocean? To look for Nirvana Dao Sand?" Mo Wuji had a huge pile of Nirvana Dao Sand on him so there was no need for Bai Yue to head there if it was to collect Nirvana Dao Sand. Bai Yue shook his head. "Back then when Pill King Green Robe disappeared into Nirvana Ocean, Nirvana Learning Academy wanted to build a transfer array at Nirvana Ocean. Their intention was to communicate directly with God Domain. Currently, this transfer array is being constructed. I am a Grade 4 God Array Master, so once I''ve completed this assignment, I wouldn''t need to take up any more assignments for 50 years." "God Continent and God Domain want to build a transfer array?" Mo Wuji''s heart skipped a beat. He had offended a God King in God Domain and escaped to God Continent. If this transfer array was successfully built, wouldn''t the God King from God Continent come to find him here? In the very next moment, Mo Wuji regained his senses. He was currently in Nirvana Learning Academy. Even if the God King of God Domain was here, he wouldn''t dare to fight his way into Nirvana Learning Academy right? So what was there for him to worry? Given his current cultivation progress, it shouldn''t take long for him to be able to get rid of a God King right? "Yes, this transfer array has been under construction for over hundreds of years already. I''ve heard that it is coming to completion. Of course, this is only the first step. After the transfer array is completed, we wouldn''t be able to determine the specific location of transfer on the other side. After we transfer people over, we would need to build another specific transfer array in God Domain. The transfer array in God Domain would need an additional year to be complete." Bai Yue explained. I must hurry to cultivate. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji told Bai Yue. "I''ll complete the mission at Nirvana Ocean then. I am much more familiar with Nirvana Ocean than you." Having said that, Mo Wuji took out a handful of Nirvana Dao Sand. "These are Nirvana Dao Sands I''ve obtained from Nirvana Ocean. You can see that I''m familiar with Nirvana Ocean." "That many Nirvana Dao Sand?" Bai Yue looked shockingly at Mo Wuji. "Yes, these are all from Nirvana Ocean. I was always being chased by others so I am pretty experienced with the dangers there," Mo Wuji chuckled. He might not be as experienced as Bai Yue but he was confident that his Wind Escape Technique was not something that Bai Yue could compare to. "Alright, you can go in place of me then," Bai Yue didn''t hesitate at all. "I need to continue cultivating to increase my strength. Also, Nirvana Ocean has no danger so it wouldn''t matter even if you offended all the experts in the entire God Continent. You are a disciple of Nirvana Learning Academy so when you''re completing tasks for Nirvana Learning Academy, no one would dare to kill you. The condition would be that you need to make a trip to Nirvana Dao City. You have to make an honoured Grade 4 God Array Master jade token." Chapter 1005: A God King’s Pursuit Chapter 1005: A God King¡¯s Pursuit Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Three days later, Mo Wuji successfully made an honoured Grade 4 God Array Master jade token. Once he had done that, he left Nirvana Learning Academy towards Nirvana Ocean of Extinction. This was the advantage of cultivating the various Daos. If Mo Wuji or Bai Yue weren''t a Grade 4 God Array Master, they might need one year just to complete the task. But because they were Grade 4 God Array Masters, only either one of them needed to head over to Nirvana Ocean to help for at most one month. Besides being concerned for Bai Yue, Mo Wuji chose to accept this task because he wanted to take a look at how this extremely long distance transfer array was being set up. In the future, he might need to constantly travel between God Continent and God Domain. Therefore, it would be a good thing if he could somehow get himself the rights to use this transfer array. In God Domain, there were still some people whom he was concerned about. One example was Ku Cai. Also, he wanted to know whether Pang Jie was really killed and if he was, who had killed him. Even if he might not be able to avenge Pang Jie now, he would definitely avenge him in the future. Just like what Bai Yue mentioned, while there were a few spiritual wills observing him when he arrived at Nirvana Dao City, nobody dared to touch him. There was a transfer array from within Nirvana Dao City to the God City at the periphery of Nirvana Ocean called God City of Extinction. Therefore, without leaving Nirvana Dao City, Mo Wuji was able to head to the periphery of Nirvana Ocean. According to the completeness of the laws of Heaven and Earth, as well as the density of the god spiritual energy, God Continent was divided into three God Lands. These three God Lands were so vast that ordinary people would need to travel for a few years even on their intermediate grade flying equipment. Even so, Nirvana Ocean ran through the entire God Continent. Hence, one could imagine how big Nirvana Ocean was. The God City of Extinction was a god city constructed for Nirvana Ocean of Extinction. Initially, this god city wanted to make the selling and buying of Nirvana Dao Sand as its main focus. However, the time between two appearances of the Clear Ocean Path was too long. Moreover, when people obtained Nirvana Dao Sand, most of them wouldn''t sell it off easily. Because of these reasons, God City of Extinction was slightly desolate until a few years ago when Nirvana Learning Academy led its team here. They were here to prepare for the installation of the transfer array between God Continent and God Domain. Hence, God City of Extinction became useful and alive once again. Also because the construction of the transfer array was a huge project, it required a lot of Equipment Masters as well as God Array Masters. Over time, this city became the resting place for these cultivators helping to build the transfer array. The moment Mo Wuji walked out of the transfer array, he saw a huge row of gold coloured words. ''Nirvana Ocean Transfer Array Runes Construction Building'' Before Mo Wuji could walk into the building to report, a terrifying God King''s pressure was felt by Mo Wuji. At that moment, Mo Wuji could truly feel a deathly pressure. "And I thought you would forever hide in Nirvana Learning Academy¡­" A wretched voice was heard and Mo Wuji saw the fella pressuring him. It was Luo Yu of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance. Mo Wuji was astonished as he almost shouted. Didn''t Bai Yue say that as long as he was representing Nirvana Learning Academy, nobody would dare to touch him? Why was it that when he just arrived here at God City of Extinction, someone already attempted to kill him even before he reported for duties? This wasn''t Nirvana Dao City so Mo Wuji was aware that if Luo Yu killed him here, Luo Yu could just run and escape. Mo Wuji hurried to retrieve his assignment token from his storage ring as he was prepared to shout for help. What he didn''t expect was that when Luo Yu saw the jade token in Mo Wuji''s hands, his expression changed and his killing intent was held back. Before he could say anything, a huge hand imprint slapped across. "This is a misunderstanding¡­" Luo Yu''s heart was extremely anxious. If Mo Wuji was only an outer sect disciple of Nirvana Learning Academy, he could kill and escape. Nirvana Learning Academy would chase after him but would definitely not send a God King to chase after him over a long period of time. Moreover, while he was in God City of Extinction, he wouldn''t face any danger. This was because Nirvana Learning Academy''s cultivators in God City of Extinction were only here to help construct the transfer array. As for capturing him, they would need to report the incident back to Nirvana Learning Academy before they could issue a warrant to capture him here. What he didn''t expect was that Mo Wuji would come here with an assignment in hand. Additionally, this b*stard actually kept the assignment token in his storage ring. He had already done his checks and confirmed that there was indeed a person from Nirvana Learning Academy''s Land of Mortals who accepted an assignment. However, his checks revealed that it was another disciple called Bai Yue who had accepted it and not this Rogue Cultivator 2705. When disciples of Nirvana Learning Academy head out to complete their assignments, they would usually hang the assignment token around their waist. Not only would no one dare to provoke the disciple, the disciple would also receive protection from the various forces in the vicinity. There was certainly no one who hid the assignment token in their storage ring like what Mo Wuji did. But it was also because of his extreme hatred for Mo Wuji, he would be willing to kill Mo Wuji even if it meant being chased down by Nirvana Learning Academy. "Ai!" Luo Yu, who wanted to kill Mo Wuji, was instantly turned into nothingness. "Small fellow, remember to hang your assignment token around your waist the next time." An abrupt voice sounded and the spatial hand imprint disappeared following that. Mo Wuji stared shockingly at the disappearing hand imprint. Only at this moment, Mo Wuji finally realised how mighty Nirvana Learning Academy was. An expert in the God King Level 3 was actually destroyed this easily. The owner of that hand imprint was undoubtedly of an existence surpassing a God King. After a while, Mo Wuji finally calmed himself down as he hung the assignment token around his waist. He started to walk towards the Transfer Array Runes Construction Building. Regardless, Luo Yu being killed was a good thing for him. In God Continent, he had offended two God Kings, namely God King Luo Yu and the Ao Clan''s God King Guang Mi. Even though Mo Wuji had yet to advance to become a Grade 5 God Array King, he acknowledged that his own array dao runes were only of decent standards. After he had gained insights of the void runes back in the Sword River, his understanding for array runes had grown one level deeper. At this moment, he stood in front of Nirvana Ocean''s Transfer Array Runes Construction Building, completely fazed. Previously when he first spotted this building, he thought that it was merely a place for administrative matters. Now that he had walked right in front of the building, he realised that this building was constructed completely by array runes only. The endless array runes had formed up this entire building. The wide entrance looked like anyone could enter and leave casually but Mo Wuji was certain that if some random person tried to enter for no reason, he would be instantly killed by the invisible array. Out of all the array runes in place at the entrance, Mo Wuji didn''t seem like he understood any one of them. Evidently, the array runes of the transfer array at Nirvana Ocean would be minimally this complex. This made Mo Wuji exceedingly suspicious. He was considered a Grade 4 God Array Master. If he were to use Bai Yue''s installation method, he might be even able to install Grade 5 god arrays. In God Continent, didn''t they say that the greatest array master was a Grade 6 God Array King? Could it be that between Grade 4 and Grade 6, the difference was so huge that he couldn''t even recognise a single array installed by the Grade 6 God Array King? "Small fellow, come on in." Just as Mo Wuji was still observing the array runes, someone called him in. Mo Wuji walked in hurriedly. From the outside, this looked like an incredibly tall building. After walking in, Mo Wuji realised that he was in an extremely wide hall. He couldn''t even spot any staircase leading upwards but he did see a door at the end of the hall. The hall contained tightly packed array runes and there were tens of cultivators standing beside these array runes. They were completely focused on carving out more array runes. They didn''t even seem to notice Mo Wuji''s arrival. Could this be the transfer array from God Continent to God Domain? "There''s no need for you to look around anymore. Come on in first." A gentle voice was heard again. Mo Wuji could sense that the voice came from the door at the end of the hall. Without hesitation, Mo Wuji breezed past these working cultivators as he entered through the door. There were only around five to six people beyond that. The person seated in the front seat was an old-looking man whom Mo Wuji was unable to discern his cultivation level or age. Mo Wuji had this faint feeling that this was the man who rescued him from the hands of Luo Yu. Mo Wuji bowed and greeted. "Mo Wuji from the Land of Mortals is here to report. Many thanks Senior for your life-saving grace." "You are not Bai Yue?" A middle-aged man beside the old looking man frowned as he asked. Evidently, he thought that Mo Wuji was Bai Yue. Mo Wuji answered promptly. "Bai Yue is my junior brother and I am also a Grade 4 God Array Master from the Land of Mortals." Hearing that Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 God Array Master from the Land of Mortals, the middle-aged cultivator didn''t comment further. The old-looking man nodded warmly at Mo Wuji. "Not bad, you''re able to bring out your assignment token at the brink of death. You are quite calm and composed. You must know that if your assignment token was not seen, and someone went to chase after that God King after he killed you, nothing would have changed the fact that you were dead." "I really didn''t know that I had to hang the token on my body." Mo Wuji replied. The old-looking man wasn''t bothered as he shook his hand. "Let me introduce myself and the few of us. My name is Cang Zhengxing and I should be the only person in the entire God Continent who could install a Grade 7 God Array. The person beside me is Tan He, who is a Grade 6 God Array King. Back then, I was considered close to Agriculture Emperor and while he didn''t like to interact with others, I had always admired his Array Dao. At such a young age, you have managed to become an array master. I believe you should have cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique too?" Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked because he had never imagined that there was an expert in the God Continent who could install a Grade 7 God Array. Moreover, there was definitely more than one Grade 6 God Array King here and Mo Wuji was starting to become excited. In the two months of work here, he could possibly learn a lot of things. "Yes, I did cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique." Mo Wuji didn''t explain the specific differences between his Immortal Mortal Technique and that of the Agriculture Emperor''s. Cang Zhengxing smiled faintly. "Even though the Immortal Mortal Technique has many flaws, it was indeed an original technique. To be able to cultivate the Immortal Mortal Technique and become a Grade 4 God Array Master, you are considered a genius. Do let me know what are the things you know. And I mean in terms of Array Dao." Mo Wuji replied. "I have some knowledge in void runes but after looking at the void runes, I realised that I only know so little." "Oh, you actually understand void runes?" Cang Zhengxing was surprised because there were not a lot of array masters who were proficient in void runes. One must know that the void runes here were all constructed under his guidance by a few of his disciples. Chapter 1006: Void Runes Chapter 1006: Void Runes Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "And you''re able to see through the void runes here?" Cang Zhengxing asked as he stood up. What is a void rune? Void runes were only called that because other people couldn''t see it. In all honesty, Cang Zhengxing had always known that there were some problems with his void runes. Even though the void runes that he installed couldn''t be discerned by most people, those of the same standards as him could see through some of it. Mo Wuji was only a Grade 4 God Array Master and yet he was able to see the void runes installed by his disciple? Wasn''t this a little too shocking? One must know that even his weakest disciple was a Grade 5 God Array Master. At the thought of how he didn''t understand a single void rune at the entrance, Mo Wuji blushed with shame. "Many years ago, I coincidentally saw a void rune transfer gate. After spending some time there, I''ve managed to gain some insight on it. However, it didn''t feel that my enlightenment was useful. I looked at the void runes here and was completely unable to understand a single one of it." "Are you sure that you can see the void runes here? Are you sure that it wasn''t your own intuition?" Cang Zhengxing asked sternly. Cang Zhengxing knew that the void runes installed by his disciples had some traces and also felt that the void runes here were very ordinary. However, to be able to see the void runes and even know some of the details within it? That would be something out of the ordinary. "Yes, I was indeed able to see the void runes here." Mo Wuji answered. His heart was still in some shock. Shouldn''t everyone who had learnt Array Dao be able to see it? The spatial fluctuations in front of this door, according to the laws of Array Dao¡­ No, Mo Wuji had finally come to his senses. A void rune was only called a void rune if other people couldn''t see it. If everyone could see through it, why would it be called a void rune? Wouldn''t the direct use of array flags be simpler? Cang Zhengxing saw the change of expression on Mo Wuji''s face and he knew that Mo Wuji had come to his senses. He said, "I believe you should understand now. Even I am not sure who left behind the legacy of void runes. But I can tell you confidently that in the entire God Continent, nobody would be truly proficient in void runes. Back then, I spotted some incomplete void runes in one of the voids of the universe. After gaining insights for countless years, the void runes which I carved out eventually was still filled with loopholes." Mo Wuji finally understood why he was unable to understand these void runes. These void runes were actually not based on void reasonings. "Mo Wuji, are you able to carve out a simple void rune for me to take a look now?" Cang Zhengxing spoke with an attitude ready to learn. Mo Wuji looked around at the few hopeful God Array Kings and thought to himself. This was equivalent to gifting his prized possession to others. However, he didn''t mind because he had learnt his void runes from other places too. Moreover, Cang Zhengxing had saved his life earlier so carving a simple one for everyone to see wouldn''t mean much. Furthermore, Mo Wuji was already pretty confident in his own void runes. He didn''t believe that anyone here would be able to learn his void runes at the first glance. Which of these fellas weren''t with extensive experience? Cang Zhengxing and Co. understood Mo Wuji''s train of thoughts from his mere act of looking around. Before Cang Zhengxing could speak, the Grade 6 God Array King Tan He stood up with a clasped fists towards Mo Wuji. "Wuji, we emphasise on the capable ones being the teacher here in Nirvana Learning Academy. Your void runes Dao surpasses us and that is your knowledge. Feel free to carve and we will wait for you to finish before looking." Mo Wuji hurried to answer. "I pray for forgiveness for my ignorance as i was intending to learn more from the few seniors. May I ask that seniors observe me while I carve out the void runes so that they can point out any mistakes of mine." Tan He nodded. "Very good, you are definitely a person with a great demeanour. Over your one month spent with us, feel free to consult any one of the old fellas here if you have queries." Mo Wuji was inwardly pleased upon hearing this. He merely needed to carve out the void runes once and had obtained the promises of so many Array Dao experts. This would undoubtedly be of great help for him to step into the Grade 5 God King Level. Cang Zhengxing also nodded his head pleasingly. Even if Mo Wuji was unwilling to let everyone view his void runes, nobody would comment because it was beyond reasoning. Now Mo Wuji had no intentions of hiding his technique, and even asked everyone to observe him and provide pointers. Mo Wuji raised his hands to strike out a few hand signs as void runes started suspending in the air one after another. Following that, they disappeared without leaving a single trace behind. While there were Grade 5 and Grade 6 God Array Kings here, none of them were able to discern Mo Wuji''s technique. Only Cang Zhengxing could see the traces left behind by the void runes carved by Mo Wuji. Even so, even he was not quite capable of understanding most of the void runes routes. However, Cang Zhengxing was so excited that he was almost obsessed. This was a true void rune. What he didn''t know was that Mo Wuji still had a technique which involved using his spirit storage channel to carve the void runes. That was certainly more breathtaking than this. From a certain angle, the difference between a Grade 4 God Array Master and Grade 5 or 6 God Array Kings weren''t exceedingly vast. But when you compare an array expert who could install a Grade 7 God Array with a Grade 4 God Array Master, there was an extraordinarily huge difference. When Mo Wuji could sense that other than Cang Zhengxing, the few other God Array Kings couldn''t discern his technique, he heaved a sigh of relief. Since he couldn''t understand the void runes here, it was only right if others couldn''t discern his void runes too. One must know that when he gained insights into his void runes, he had the help of the sword intent of the Sword River as well as his Dao revelation channel. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji continued to carve and explain simultaneously. As Mo Wuji did that, all the God Array Kings here were fully focused. Mo Wuji was like drawing on a white piece of paper and explaining which ones were the mountains and which ones were the sea. His explanations were that direct and simple. Cang Zhengxing grew even more excited listening to Mo Wuji. All his previous doubts were all clarified by Mo Wuji during this brief lesson. When Mo Wuji finally carved out the last void rune and finished his explanation, Cang Zhengxing let out a huge breath before commenting, "What a perfect void energy gathering array." The few other God Array Kings were also indescribably emotional because if Mo Wuji didn''t explain, they wouldn''t have truly understood void runes. Mo Wuji''s explanation was as equal to imparting his strongest sacred arts to everyone here. "Mo Wuji, you are indeed a talent, to think that you''re able to gain this much insight from a void runes gate. Back then when I saw those incomplete void runes, I''ve always been unable to break through my own limit throughout the many years. Every time I install a void rune, there would still be traces left behind. Today, I''ve understood from your lesson on where I was wrong." Cang Zhengxing spoke with a sincere heart. Having said that, Cang Zhengxing didn''t even wait for Mo Wuji to reply as he continued. "Wuji, we have an impassable problem for our installation of the transfer array from God Continent to God Domain which traversed Nirvana Ocean. Truth be told, I''ve specifically asked for Array Dao legacy masters from the Land of Mortals to accept this assignment. Back then, when the Agriculture Emperor established the Land of Mortals, there were many original ideas. Now, you''ve come here to solve my problem perfectly. I will use void runes to carve the core arrays. Wuji, I will hand you the task of completing the carving of the void runes. What do you think of it?" Mo Wuji was certain that the transfer array was at least a Grade 7 God Array but he was merely a Grade 4 God Array Master. How was he supposed to complete this task? He replied anxiously, "Senior Cang, my standard of Array Dao is simply too low. I''m afraid I might not be able to complete the task." In his heart, he really wanted to carve this void rune. However, because this transfer array was constructed by the combined efforts of everyone and Mo Wuji had to consider the time they had spent on this project too. If his void runes were too poor and it caused a problem, then he might offend others. Cang Zhengxing smiled. "You''ll definitely succeed. Don''t worry, I will design the runes beforehand and also tell you what and where you need to carve. You only need to carve and you can ask me if you have any queries." Mo Wuji immediately understood that this was Cang Zhengxing''s reward for him. When he carved the core runes of this transfer array, he would definitely be faced with a lot of problems and opportunities to ask. And with Cang Zhengxing and the few other God Array Kings by his side to help him, it would be difficult for him not to advance to become a Grade 5 God Array King by the time this transfer array was completed. Moreover, this would also be the fastest way he could become a God Array King and become the second expert to be able to install the Grade 7 God Array. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji bowed respectfully. "Many thanks Seniors for your love. I will definitely do my best." Cang Zhengxing patted on Mo Wuji and said. "Just feel free to carve, when this assignment is complete, I will give you a surprise." ¡­ Mo Wuji was unaware of what surprise Cang Zhengxing was going to give Mo Wuji. However, Mo Wuji was already pleased with the current situation. Within the endless mysterious runes, Cang Zhengxing was guiding him on how to carve the runes for the core. Concurrently, he understood why Cang Zhengxing wanted to carve void runes here at the core. Once these runes were completed, except for the few core people like themselves, no one else could try to casually use this transfer array. Void runes one after the other were carved out by Mo Wuji and at the same time, questions were raised by Mo Wuji. The supporting Array God Kings and Masters by the side were even more astonished than Mo Wuji. One must know that they were basically the strongest Array Dao experts from all across God Continent. When Mo Wuji first arrived, everyone thought that he would be just like them; merely helping by carving some of the runes by the corner. But when Mo Wuji started to carve the core runes of the transfer arrays, everyone knew that they were nothing compared to Mo Wuji. This new fella was clearly a peak grade Array Dao expert. The pity was that they couldn''t comprehend the void runes carved by Mo Wuji. In fact, they were not even able to discern the grade of his Array Dao. In just a few days, Mo Wuji''s Array Dao was increasing rapidly. In less than a month, Mo Wuji successfully entered the ranks of a Grade 5 God Array King. Chapter 1007: Rule of Arrays Chapter 1007: Rule of Arrays Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though he had yet to install any Grade 5 God Array, Cang Zhengxing could already tell. "Wuji, you have already entered the ranks of a Grade 5 God Array King. It seems like people from the Land of Mortals are not only proficient in the Dao of sacred arts but also all the other Daos." Mo Wuji was equally pleased because how was this completing his assignment? He was clearly here to learn and practice Array Dao. In a short month time, his rewards were not only his advancement into the Grade 5 God King Stage but a much deeper understanding towards the Array Dao. Cang Zhengxing''s understanding and reasoning of Array Dao was something Mo Wuji felt that he would never be able to catch up with. A month had passed by and the core runes of the transfer array had been carved out by Mo Wuji successfully. Mo Wuji was here to complete an assignment but he felt that he completed this assignment too quickly. In fact, it was so quick that Mo Wuji felt like there were still many things he had yet to learn. Being able to advance into the ranks of a Grade 5 God King was only possible in such a place; with so many Array Dao experts guiding him without restraints. Despite wanting to stay for a while more, Mo Wuji knew that he had to head back. There was only about a month left before the fight for the resources in Nirvana Learning Academy would begin. Therefore, he needed to head back to prepare himself for that. "Are you going to head back to your sect?" Cang Zhengxing understood Mo Wuji''s intention even before he spoke a word. Mo Wuji bowed to the few God Array Kings who had guided him, saying, "In this one month, I have reaped the benefits of all the teachings by you Seniors and I do wish to stay and continue learning from you. However, because the sect''s fight for resources is about to begin, I need to head back to prepare myself." Tan He chuckled, "Mo Wuji, you are already a Grade 5 God Array King now. We wouldn''t dare to say we taught you anything. Moreover, I''ve also learnt a lot from your understanding of void runes. If I wasn''t restrained by the laws of Heaven and Earth here, I might be able to step into the Grade 7 God Array KIng stage¡­" Cang Zhengxing spoke to Mo Wuji in a serious tone, "Wuji, even though your array dao is strong, your cultivation is still too low so you need to go into secluded cultivation. As for the Land of Mortals'' problem of not being able to install a high grade energy gathering god array, my old face still could be of some use. Until then, I will¡­" Mo Wuji was immensely grateful for Cang Zhengxing''s words, but before Cang Zhengxing could finish, Mo Wuji bowed once more. "Many thanks seniors for your care and concern. I will head back to try it out and if it really doesn''t work out, I''ll be back to plead for your help." Cang Zhengxing nodded but didn''t continue speaking. How could he not understand Mo Wuji''s train of thought? Nirvana Learning Academy was undoubtedly one of the most lawful sects in God Continent. Even though Cang Zhengxing was one of the oldest experts in the sect, violating the rules wouldn''t look good on him. Because Mo Wuji was well aware of this, he didn''t wish to put Cang Zhengxing in a difficult spot. Because of Mo Wuji''s words, Cang Zhengxing was full of admiration for him. He was certain that even if Mo Wuji didn''t receive any cultivation resources, Mo Wuji still wouldn''t ask him for help. "Alright, you deserve this jade token too." Having said that, Cang Zhengxing took out a snow-white coloured jade token which was about the size of his palm. Mo Wuji took the jade token curiously. Once the jade token touched his hand, he could feel a cool and comfortable energy seeping into his body. His spirits were instantly lifted up. Before Mo Wuji could question, Cang Zhengxing said. "This is the most valuable jade token in the entire God Continent and its name is Rule of Arrays." Tan He, who was standing by the side, started smiling as he continued, "Wuji, this jade token is certainly not simple. In the entire God Continent, only 5 people including yourself have this. Besides Senior Cang and the three Grade 6 God Array Kings, you''re the fifth person. As long as you''re in God Continent, displaying this jade token would allow you to transfer anywhere you want without paying any god crystals or other forms of payment." Cang Zhengxing looked at Mo Wuji''s shock look as he laughed as well. "Tan He is right. Even the transfer array we''re constructing to God Domain, you would also be able to use it for free with this Rule of Arrays jade token." When Mo Wuji heard that he could easily transfer to God Domain, his heart was jumping in glee. However, he managed to calm himself down at the thought of how valuable this jade token was. Everyone, including himself, would be interested in keeping this jade token. However, other than his void runes, what has he contributed to deserve this? If he accepted this jade token, wouldn''t he appear to be slightly greedy? "Seniors, I didn''t even contribute much here. To accept the jade token¡­" Cang Zhengxing shook his hand as he stopped Mo Wuji''s words. Following which, he stood up as he looked into the void above. "Wuji, you have underestimated void runes. In the future, you will understand how important your void runes would be to the entire God Continent¡­ No, the entire God World. Even though this jade token is valuable, it could never be compared to your contribution. It is a pity that I cannot give anything better to reward you. As a God Array King, I believe that you will need an immeasurable supply of god crystals and god spiritual veins in the future." Mo Wuji was not aware of how his void runes could benefit the entire God Continent but he still bowed respectfully. "I shall accept this jade token then. Many thanks Seniors for your love." Mo Wuji''s greatest reward from his trip here was not only the knowledge he obtained in Array Dao but also how he managed to befriend the greatest Array Dao expert in God Continent. Seeing that Mo Wuji had accepted the jade token, Cang Zhengxing smiled. "Go on then, as for the other small matters, don''t worry about it, I will settle it for you." "Yes, I bid my goodbye to all the seniors here." Mo Wuji had no idea what Cang Zhengxing meant by ''small matters'' but he didn''t give it much thought. ¡­ The moment Mo Wuji returned to the Land of Mortals, he sensed something was amiss. There was no longer any god spiritual energy left in the Land of Mortals. Logically speaking, even though he was not cultivating, Da Huang should still be cultivating. Da Huang also had 108 meridians and cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique. As long as he was cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique, he would be able to absorb god spiritual energy from elsewhere. Besides Da Huang, there was also Chi Chuan. Chi Chuan converted to his meridian opening technique and while it was only conversion of his own strength, he should also require the support of the god spiritual energy. "My Lord, you''re back." The moment Mo Wuji entered the defensive array, Da Huang and Shuai Guo rushed over. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had sensed that Chi Chuan was still in seclusion and his opening of meridians went very smoothly. His primordial spirit was also converting well. However, Bai Yue was not in the Land of Mortals and Mo Wuji had no idea where he went. "My Lord, the first few days after you left, we still felt that cultivating was going well. But because you''re not around, there were strong installations of spiritual sealing arrays in our surrounding. Because my strength is limited, I''m unable to absorb any of the god spiritual energy." Da Huang said with some shame. "Where is Bai Yue?" Mo Wuji asked. His guess was that while he was around, the other party wasn''t able to install the spiritual sealing array because Mo Wuji would make it collapse the instance it was set up. Now that he was gone, all these spiritual sealing arrays were installed one after the other. "He had gone to the Assignments Hall. He mentioned that he wanted to exchange for some items to prepare for the upcoming fight for resources," Da Huang answered. Mo Wuji recalled that he still had over a few hundreds of contribution points on him so he patted Da Huang and Shuai Guo, "I will also head there to take a look so the two of you can stop cultivating for the time being. We will continue once the fight for cultivation resources is over." Regardless, Mo Wuji wanted to reap the most benefits and resources from this fight. At the very least, he had to make sure the Land of Mortals wouldn''t be as down and out as it was now; where they couldn''t even cultivate here. ... Nirvana Learning Academy''s Assignment Hall was definitely the most crowded assignment hall on God Continent. This was not just because of the rich resources available at Nirvana Learning Academy. More importantly, it was because a lot of incomplete assignments in God Continent would be handed to Nirvana Learning Academy. Besides this, the nirvana points of Nirvana Learning Academy was more valuable and useful than anything else. Whether it was god crystals or god pills, it wouldn''t be more useful than the nirvana points. After entering the Assignment Hall, Mo Wuji saw an endless stream of cultivators walking in and out of the hall. Despite the hall being wide, this place was still very cramped up because of the sheer number of cultivators here either to accept assignments or exchange their points. The most eye-catching thing in the Assignment Hall would be the ten massive array display screens. These ten screens constantly had all sorts of messages popping out. These messages included not only all sorts of assignments but also the various exchanges available. Very soon, Mo Wuji found out shockingly that as long as he had nirvana points, he could even exchange for God Jade Pills. However, that would require a price of over 100,000 points and Mo Wuji doubted that anyone here had that much points. Mo Wuji recalled that he only had a few hundred points but he also had a bottle of the God Jade Pill. Mo Wuji felt that he was the wealthiest person here in the hall. Not because he had the God Jade Pill but because the Clear Jade God Flower, which was the main herb for the God Jade Pill, was something average people couldn''t obtain. As Mo Wuji''s spiritual will didn''t sense Bai Yue, he started going through the display screen for the list of items he could exchange. Mo Wuji realised that his 400 over points were still worth something. At the very least, he could even exchange for a decent low grade god equipment magic treasure. Initially, Mo Wuji was only casually looking around until his eyes landed on a pill formula. This was an ancient formula of a Tier 2 God Pill called the Bubbled Primordial God Pill. A Tier 2 God Pill shouldn''t be worth much but this formula made Mo Wuji excited. This Tier 2 God Pill was a pill, which had the Nascent God Fruit as its main spiritual herb, could allow any Nascent God to advance one level. This alone was impressive enough. Mo Wuji knew that the most expensive Grade 1 God Fruit would be the Nascent God Fruit because one fruit could allow the advancement of one level. Nascent God Fruit might be expensive but Mo Wuji was still able to afford it. He didn''t purchase the Nascent God Fruit because he knew that it would definitely not be of use to him. The percentage success of the Nascent God Fruit allowing a Nascent God Stage cultivator to advance was not a hundred percent. Moreover, it worked for most experts in the intermediate or early stage. Once an expert reached the advanced stage, those with thick primordial spirit might find it hard to use this fruit to advance. Given the fact that Mo Wuji was in the Nascent God Stage Level 10, he should forget about using the Nascent God Fruit to advance. Now that the Bubbled Primordial God Pill, which used the Nascent God Fruit as its main spiritual herb, had appeared, Mo Wuji was indescribably excited. The fight for resources was almost starting and his cultivation was still too low. The only problem was that the price of the Bubbled Primordial God Pill was slightly too ridiculous. Where was he supposed to find 12,000 contributions points? Chapter 1008: I Don’t Believe Chapter 1008: I Don¡¯t Believe Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji took out his identity token as he thought of the few Purple Nirvana Dao Sands on him. Earlier, he noticed that the Purple Nirvana Dao Sand was priced at 15,000 nirvana points. He felt like he should accept more tasks involving the Nirvana Dao Sand before¡­ There was nothing else he needed to do as he looked astonishingly at his own identity token. His identity jade token had a total of 100,479 nirvana points. Mo Wuji didn''t even need to guess to know where these contribution points came from. Evidently, it was his reward for completing the assignment involving Nirvana Ocean''s transfer array. Even without asking, Mo Wuji knew that it would already be considered impressive if he had only received 1% of what he just received as a reward. The fact that Mo Wuji was rewarded with so many nirvana points must be related to Cang Zhengxing. Cang Zhengxing had probably added in nirvana points to reward Mo Wuji for the contribution of his void runes. Mo Wuji was increasingly thankful for Cang Zhengxing. Even if his void runes were really very precious, Cang Zhengxing could have chosen to pretend that it wasn''t. However, Cang Zhengxing didn''t know that and because he knew that Mo Wuji was a Grade 5 God Array King, he knew that Mo Wuji wouldn''t be rewarded with god crystals. This was why he was so straightforward by rewarding him with over 100,000 nirvana points. These nirvana points were equivalent to Cang Zhengxing providing timely help in Mo Wuji''s time of need. Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he used the identity token to complete the exchange. After his jade token was deducted of 12,000 nirvana points, a restricted jade box was suspending on top of his identity jade token. Mo Wuji grabbed the jade box and his spiritual will seeped through it. There was indeed the pill formula of the Bubbled Primordial God Pill. As compared to the technology on Earth, Mo Wuji felt that this Array Dao method was much more convenient and concise. Now that he had over 100,000 nirvana points, Mo Wuji continued to purchase 6 Nascent GodFruit. One Nascent GodFruit would only require 800 nirvana points so 6 of them would only cost Mo Wuji 4800 contribution points. After sending Bai Yue a message, Mo Wuji was prepared to head back to concoct his Bubbled Primordial God Pill. He wanted to increase his cultivation level before anything else. "Ah, the Bubbled Primordial God Pill''s pill formula was sold out¡­" A surprised voice sounded beside Mo Wuji''s ear. Mo Wuji turned his head to see a slightly skinny red-dressed woman. This red-dressed woman had long hair and her spirituality was fluctuating. Clearly, her aptitude wasn''t low and was already in the Heavenly God Stage Level 6. The Bubbled Primordial God Pill was purchased by Mo Wuji and he didn''t intend to bother about this woman. Just as he was about to leave, that woman suddenly obstructed Mo Wuji to ask. "Oi, I''ve noticed that you purchased a few items earlier. Did you also purchase the Bubbled Primordial God Pill?" Before Mo Wuji could reply, another two men hurried into the Assignments Hall anxiously. One of them was in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8 while the other was in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. Mo Wuji recognised that fella in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. It was Ran Hui of the Single Return God Sect and that fella was ranked number 6 during Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment 10 years ago. In the end, he even took his anger out on ranked number 4, Bai Yue. That resulted in Bai Yue being taught a lesson by Gai Ji of the Single Return God Sect. According to Bai Yue, if the sect''s elder didn''t intervene, Gai Ji would have already killed him. Mo Wuji wondered if the Heavenly God Stage Level 8 expert beside Ran Hui was Gai Ji. "Wan Xi, we''ve managed to borrow enough nirvana points for you to purchase¡­" The man beside Ran Hui exclaimed pleasingly. So this red-dressed woman was called Wan Xi. Mo Wuji''s guess was that the Bubbled Primordial God Pill''s formula which Wan Xi wanted shouldn''t be for herself. Wan Xi said with a sobbing tone. "Senior Brother Gai Ji, someone had already purchased the Bubbled Primordial God Pill not too long ago." This fella in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8 was indeed Gai Ji. The killing intent in Mo Wuji''s heart suddenly grew strong. If this fella met Bai Yue during Nirvana Learning Academy''s fight for resources, he would definitely not let Bai Yue off easily. Now that Mo Wuji saw Gai Ji, he must get rid of this trash. As for whether he would offend the Single Return God Sect, that was a problem of the future. Gai Ji of the Single Return God Sect was already intending to kill Bai Yue so why should he show mercy? No matter how powerful a person was, Mo Wuji would never compromise as long as that person tried to kill him or people around him. Since the other party was going to kill you, why should you compromise or go easy on them? "Who purchased it?" Gai Ji''s heart sank as he instantly looked anxious. The person he fancied was Wan Xi''s sister, Wan Ru. Gai Ji could be considered immensely deep in love with Wan Ru. However, even though Wan Ru was Wan Xi''s elder sister, Wan Ru had been stuck at the Nascent God Stage Level 6 for many years now. Gai Ji had cracked his brains so many times wishing that he could help Wan Ru advanced to the next level. However, his efforts were all futile. Wan Ru''s sister Wan Xi was equally as anxious as Gai Ji and she had only just seen the Bubbled Primordial God Pill just today. However, because her wealth was limited, she wasn''t able to take out 12,000 nirvana points. Fortunately, she was well aware of Gai Ji''s love for her sister so she informed him almost instantly. After Gai Ji knew of this, he went straight away to raise nirvana points. In less than half a day, he really did manage to raise 12,000 nirvana points. The pity was that he had arrived late and when he arrived, the item was already purchased. Hearing Gai Ji''s question, Wan Xi came back to her senses as she looked back at Mo Wuji. "Were you the one who bought the Bubbled Primordial God Pill? I saw that you''ve purchased quite a few items from this stall earlier¡­ Senior Brother Gai Ji, this was the person who bought a few items previously." From the start, Mo Wuji was already unhappy with how rude Wan Xi was speaking to him. Now that this matter was related to Gai Ji of the Single Return God Sect, he was even more determined not to answer this question. If the other party was polite and wasn''t related to Gai Ji, Mo Wuji might consider making a copy for her. He would at most ask for a few nirvana points and that was it. "I believe I don''t think I have to report whatever I purchased to you right?" After saying that, Mo Wuji turned and left. "Hold on." Gai Ji instantly stood in Mo Wuji''s way. He spoke with a cold tone, "Take out the few items you''ve purchased earlier. Otherwise¡­" "Otherwise? Don''t tell me you''re going to kneel and lick my foot?" Mo Wuji said faintly without any fear. The Assignments Hall had always been crowded so now that there was a clash, most people around the area had already gathered over. When they saw how this Nascent God was speaking to the Heavenly God, all of them were inwardly dumbfounded. Could it be that the Nascent Gods nowadays are all so arrogant? Could it be that they all planned to stay in Nirvana Learning Academy forever? When they realised that the Heavenly God was Gai Ji, everyone started to sigh. Who was Gai Ji? Gai Ji was one of the ten great Heavenly Gods of Nirvana Learning Academy and was ranked number 6. Gai Ji only spent a thousand years cultivating from the Heavenly God Stage Level 1 to Heavenly God Stage Level 8. One could tell how talented he was. Moreover, Gai Ji was from the Single Return God Sect. It seemed like the Nascent God had challenged the wrong person. "Hahahaha¡­" Gai Ji started laughing when he heard Mo Wuji''s words. While Gai Ji was laughing, he didn''t even find it funny. The killing intent started filling his eyes and if this wasn''t Nirvana Learning Academy, he would have slapped Mo Wuji. "This is the first time I''ve seen someone as daring as you. Do you think that because we''re in Nirvana Learning Academy, I wouldn''t dare to touch you? One month ago, a fella spoke this arrogantly in front of me and if it wasn''t because of the intervention of the sect''s elder, I would have killed him already. If you don''t believe, I will kill you instantly. At the very most, I would be expelled from Nirvana Learning Academy." Gai Ji said coldly with a trace of killing intent. Mo Wuji stared back coldly at Gai Ji. "I don''t believe you and also, I despise those useless scoundrels who only know how to talk and dare not act." Gai Ji was fuming. If Gai Ji was intentionally using words to threaten a newbie like Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji''s final sentence had truly infuriated him. Naturally, he wasn''t an idiot even when he was infuriated. No matter how angry he was, he mustn''t act here. What he didn''t expect was that Mo Wuji was indeed trying to trigger him to act. If Gai Ji acted, he would have avenged Bai Yue even before the fight for resources in Nirvana Learning Academy. "And I also don''t believe that you will dare to act here. Even if you are the grandfather of the Single Return God Sect''s Sect Head, Fang Qiling, I will still slap you to death here." A calm voice was heard and an enforcer wearing a brown robe landed in front of Mo Wuji and Gai Ji. Gai Ji hurried to bow, "Lord Enforcer, I was merely joking earlier." "If you dare to make such jokes in Nirvana Learning Academy again, you will be immediately banished from Nirvana Learning Academy." The brown robe enforcer didn''t show any face to Gai Ji. "Yes, yes. I understand." Gai Ji answered worriedly. The brown robe enforcer flashed by and he disappeared without a trace. Even though he didn''t manage to trigger Gai Ji to attack, Mo Wuji was still inwardly pleased. Nirvana Learning Academy was indeed an existence even a huge sect couldn''t influence. Hearing the words of that enforcer, he knew that Nirvana Learning Academy really didn''t put the Single Return God Sect in their eyes. After the brown robe enforcer left, Gai Ji heaved a sigh of relief. He looked back at Mo Wuji with an even more stern expression. "Bring out that item now because you still have one more chance. Otherwise, you can forget about breathing the moment you leave Nirvana Learning Academy." "Scram." This time around, Mo Wuji couldn''t even be bothered to trigger the other party. This fella wouldn''t attack regardless of how infuriated so he wasn''t worth Mo Wuji''s time. Mo Wuji''s reluctance to waste time with Gai Ji and his one-word reply had really sent Gai Ji into a rage. An ant like this actually dared to ask him to scram. Mo Wuji shook his head at how spoilt Gai Ji was to the extent that he couldn''t even suffer a little hurt to his pride. This was even though he was already in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8. "Sister, why are you here?" Wan Xi sudden''s words interrupted Gai Ji''s rage. A woman wearing a faint green dress with flower designs walked over. Despite seeing a great number of beauties throughout his entire life, Mo Wuji couldn''t help but praise this woman''s delicate beauty. The faint eyebrows coupled with a pair of bright eyes really made her look as neat as a painting. While she was only standing right in front of him, he felt as though he was very far away. "Wan Ru, why are you here?" At this moment, why would Gai Ji continue being enraged and arrogant? His tone had transformed completely. So this woman was Wan Xi''s elder sister, Wan Ru. She was actually such a beauty. Chapter 1009: Bubbled Primordial God Pill Chapter 1009: Bubbled Primordial God Pill Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Greetings Senior Brother Gai Ji." Wan Ru bowed slightly before turning to Wan Xi. "Sister, please don''t fall out with others because of my matters in the future. Let''s go, let''s head back first." "But sister, that was your hope of advancement¡­" Wan Xi hurried to reply. "Gai Ji, you''re in the Heavenly God Stage Level 8 and you dare to act against a Nascent God. Aren''t you shameful of yourself?" Bai Yue''s voice suddenly interrupted the warm atmosphere Wan Ru brought here. If Wan Ru wasn''t here, Gai Ji would have definitely insulted Bai Yue for being a sore loser who could only depend on others for survival. Now that Wan Ru was here, Gai Ji''s full attention was on Wan Ru and his only desperate wish was to obtain the pill formula from Mo Wuji. Despite Mo Wuji not admitting to buying that pill formula, he was certain that Mo Wuji was the one who had purchased that Bubbled Primordial God Pill. Mo Wuji patted on Bai Yue as he laughed. "This fella was indeed very shameless but I didn''t expect the enforcer to not show him any face too. Now, he is desperately trying to please the woman so let us head off first." "Hold on. Senior Brother, if you really did purchase the Bubbled Primordial God Pill, I plead that you sell it to me and I will add some more nirvana points for you. You should already know that the main ingredient for this pill would be the Nascent God Fruit. Even though the Nascent God Fruit was only a Tier 1 God Spiritual Fruit, it was still very tough to purify into essence. This required the skill of a Tier 5 God Pill King so Senior Brother, you probably wouldn''t have any use for this pill formula." Wan Xi was no longer able to hold it in as she clasped her fists in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji sneered coldly because he despised a woman like this. Initially, she addressed him as ''Oi'' and now that she realised she couldn''t get the formula from him, she started addressing him as ''senior brother''. If this woman had continued to use her initial tone to speak, Mo Wuji would at most think that she lacked politeness. Now that she was inconsistent from the start to the end, Mo Wuji viewed her as snobbish. "I am well aware of how I am going to handle the items that I''ve purchased and even if I don''t, that would be my problem. I don''t need you to worry for me." Mo Wuji said fearlessly as he turned away once more. Gai Ji really wanted to kill Mo Wuji but he dared not obstruct Mo Wuji so openly here. The enforcer had already mentioned that if he dared to threaten to kill in Nirvana Learning Academy again, he would be banished immediately. "Rogue Cultivator 2705, I, Ran Hui, challenge you. Do you have the guts to go to Nirvana Learning Academy''s Duel Stage?" Looking at how his Senior Brother was anxious, Ran Hui shouted uncontrollably. Mo Wuji stopped in his tracks as he looked back at Ran Hui. "Who are you? Do you have the rights to challenge me?" Those who recognised Ran Hui were all shocked. Ran Hui actually obtained the 6th place in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment and Mo Wuji would ask such a question? And even doubt his rights to challenge Mo Wuji? If they didn''t know Ran Hui''s background, they might really think that Ran Hui was not qualified enough to challenge Mo Wuji from the way Mo Wuji spoke. The truth was that Mo Wuji knew that Ran Hui was indeed not capable of challenging him. After all, he was a Tier 5 God Pill King, a Grade 5 God Array King, one of the five holders of the Rule of Arrays jade token and even a sect head. How was Ran Hui qualified to challenge him? In terms of bickering, even Ran Hui and Gai Ji wouldn''t be a match for Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji''s one sentence was enough to make him speechless. If it was someone who knew how to speak, he would have instantly refuted with ''And who are you? At least I''ve obtained top 10 in the assessment.'' The fairy-like Wan Ru suddenly turned and bowed towards Mo Wuji before speaking with her gentle voice. "My sister was not brought up with good etiquette but I plead for Senior Brother to forgive her words if she had offended you. As for the pill formula, we don''t need it so Senior Brother please do as you wish." "Since that is the case, I will not lower myself to her level. Bai Yue, let''s go." Mo Wuji instantly left the place with Bai Yue after saying that. Gai Ji was so mad that he was almost trembling. There was actually someone who dared to make him look so stupid in front of his goddess. The killing intent in his heart was about to erupt. The spectators around all felt that Mo Wuji had truly crossed the line. Nobody here liked Gai Ji as a person but Wan Ru was actually the number one beauty in Nirvana Learning Academy. Mo Wuji''s casual tone when conversing with her was indeed unacceptable. ¡­ "Wuji, how did you clash with Gai Ji?" The moment they left the Assignments Hall, Bai Yue asked anxiously. "A small matter but you don''t have to worry. I''ll be in seclusion soon but what have you bought that you had to stay here for such a long time?" Mo Wuji casually questioned. Bai Yue heard Mo Wuji''s question so he replied disappointingly, "I''ve seen a sacred art that I fancied but the pity is that I didn''t have enough nirvana points." "How much are you lacking?" Mo Wuji asked. "1700 nirvana points." "Pass me your identity jade token." Mo Wuji indicated with his hands. Bai Yue handed his jade token to Mo Wuji subconsciously while being at loss with what Mo Wuji was doing. After leaving a mark on Bai Yue''s identity jade token, Mo Wuji transferred 2000 nirvana points to Bai Yue. "How did you get so many nirvana points?" Bai Yue asked inquisitively as he saw how he had an extra 2000 nirvana points. Mo Wuji chuckled, "Hurry up and purchase your items. I need to head back to cultivate because my cultivation is truly too low." Bai Yue was instantly reminded of the item he wanted so his body flashed and he was already out of sight. "Your name is Mo Wuji?" Just as Bai Yue left, Mo Wuji suddenly heard a voice. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will swept outwards and much to his surprise, his spiritual will was unable to detect anyone. That voice sounded yet again, "You don''t have to bother finding me. Cang Zhengxing told me about you and it seems like you are pretty fortunate. To think that you''ve actually seen the Breath of Hongmeng before¡­" Mo Wuji suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his head. He might not be afraid of the Single Return God Sect or Gai Ji but he cannot be not fearful of revealing his Breath of Hongmeng. Only Da Huang and Shuai Guo knew about his Breath of Hongmeng and Mo Wuji was certain that they wouldn''t betray him. How did this other party know about his Breath of Hongmeng? Other than this person, who was speaking in the dark, who else knew about his Breath of Hongmeng? "Senior¡­" Mo Wuji''s throat started turning dry. If his Breath of Hongmeng was truly revealed, he could only escape to Nirvana Ocean. Because even if he were to hand out his Breath of Hongmeng, he wouldn''t feel at ease. "You don''t have to worry because up to now, only two people knew that you had seen the Breath of Hongmeng. I was the one who told Cang Zhengxing about it and he wanted me to take care of you. However, I might not be able to take care of you. Even though the Breath of Hongmeng is precious, it is of limited use to me," The voice sounded yet again. Mo Wuji''s heart jumped out in shock as he suddenly recalled something. His Breath of Hongmeng must have been revealed when he was removing the Origin Bead. Back then, he took out the purple gourd and even sealed up the opening, struck out countless restrictions and wrapped it with the Book of Luo. But who could be certain that a true expert wouldn''t be able to detect the energy of the Breath of Hongmeng? Oh yes, the other party mentioned that Mo Wuji had seen the Breath of Hongmeng but didn''t say he owned it.This proved that the other party must have detected it from items which were stained by the energy of the Breath of Hongmeng. Moreover, the other party would probably be convinced that even if Mo Wuji possessed it, he wouldn''t be able to keep it. At the thought of this, Mo Wuji became calm and was also grateful for Cang Zhengxing again. Back then, Cang Zhengxing mentioned that he would help him settle a small issue and Mo Wuji didn''t pay much attention to it. Now that he realised, how was this a small issue? If it wasn''t for Cang Zhengxing''s initiative to approach first, the other party would at least question where the Breath of Hongmeng was. After Mo Wuji calmed himself down, he stood even more respectfully at his place. The voice paused for a while before continuing. "I''ve heard from Cang Zhengxing that your Array Dao is exceptional. You are even a Grade 5 God Array King and I might need your help with something." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief before answering. "Senior please go ahead and let me know. As long as it is something that I can do, I''ll do my very best to help you." "En, you can head back first. After the fight for cultivation resources, I''ll find you again. The fight for resources might be dangerous but given your fate, I doubt you will lose your life there." Mo Wuji acknowledged before heading back to his Land of Mortals. ¡­ After he returned to the Land of Mortals, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to go into seclusion to concoct the Bubbled Primordial God Pill. The pill had an ancient pill formula and just like what Wan Xi said, it was very difficult to purify the Nascent God Fruit. Usually, when people obtained the Nascent God Fruit, they would consume it directly. As for purifying the fruit into its essence, a Tier 5 God Pill King was required. Coincidentally, Mo Wuji was a Tier 5 God Pill King and had even concocted the God Jade Pill before. Why would purifying a Nascent God Fruit be of any challenge to him? The truth was that even if Mo Wuji hadn''t advanced into the ranks of a Tier 5 God Pill King, his possession of the spirit storage channel was enough to purify the Nascent God Fruit easily. Nascent God Fruits were sent into the pill furnace forged from the Medicinal Cauldron Stone as Mo Wuji removed the residues formed. He continued to fuse the solution and condense it into a god pill. Despite Mo Wuji''s cautiousness, he only needed one hour to bring out nine Bubbled Primordial God Pill. Additionally, every single one of them was of the unique grade. The Bubbled Primordial God Pill might have an ancient formula but the full furnace would not produce 18 pills but only nine unlike the other god pills below Tier 3. Mo Wuji''s concoction of nine Bubbled Primordial God Pills was equivalent to a full furnace. The Nascent God Fruit alone might be able to allow ordinary Nascent God Cultivators to advance one level but the absorption of the essence within the fruit itself wouldn''t be great. The stronger cultivators might at most absorb 10-20% of it. The concoction of nine Bubbled Primordial God Pills from three Nascent God Fruits would be 100% beneficial. More importantly, the Bubbled Primordial God Pill was infused with the laws of Heaven and Earth. Nascent God Cultivators would be able to gain insights from the laws of Heaven and Earth and step further into the realm. Chapter 1010: Fight for Resources Chapter 1010: Fight for Resources Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji didn''t concoct the second furnace of Bubbled Primordial God Pill as he simply cleaned up the place and consumed one Bubbled Primordial God Pill. Concurrently, he circulated his Immortal Mortal Technique at full force using his 108 meridians to absorb god spiritual energy. Despite the installations of the god spiritual sealing array by others, Mo Wuji''s cultivation had ripped all those arrays apart. Endless god spiritual energy surged back into the Land of Mortals as the place turned into a whirlpool of god spiritual energy. Previously, the forces around them were able to seal up the god spiritual energy from coming into the Land of Mortals only because Mo Wuji was not around to cultivate. Now that Mo Wuji was back to cultivate, all sealing arrays would be rendered useless. A wild surge of god spiritual energy rushed in from all four directions and Mo Wuji could feel a certain energy from within his body needing to erupt. The mightiness of the Bubbled Primordial God Pill was displayed at this moment. Initially, Mo Wuji was intending to use two years to break into the Nascent God Stage Level 11. With the explosive surge of elemental energy from the Bubbled Elemental God Pill, Mo Wuji charged into the Nascent God Level 11 with much ease. After 10 days of adjustments, the elemental energy merged with the immense god spiritual energy as they were absorbed by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could sense that his cultivation was rising and multiple days later, he didn''t feel the shackles of Nascent God Stage Level 12 after exhausting this one Bubbled Elemental God Pill. The second Bubbled Elemental God Pill, the third... When Mo Wuji swallowed the sixth Bubbled Elemental God Pill, his cultivation paced around the Nascent God Stage Level 11. This was when he knew that such a pill would only work once for him. After wasting 6 of these pills, he was merely able to advance from Nascent God Level 11 to the peak of Level 11. Things like pills were for supportive uses and one couldn''t rely on it completely. Mo Wuji''s heart was calm. To be able to advance into the Nascent God Level 11 in less than a month, his purchase of the pill formula was considered worth it. At times, a small level like this could save his life. After cultivating for another 10 days, Mo Wuji received a message from Bai Yue that Nirvana Learning Academy''s fight for resources had begun. Mo Wuji packed up immediately as he walked out of his cultivation place. Chi Chuan was still cultivating wildly. Shuai Guo had some improvements and was almost in the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. Da Huang''s improvement was even more drastic as he was in the Nascent God Level 8. Da Huang possessed intelligence and meridians but a pill like the Bubbled Elemental God Pill wouldn''t be of much use to him. Mo Wuji didn''t wait for long and Bai Yue arrived. Looking at how energetic Bai Yue was, Mo Wuji knew that he must have obtained the sacred art that he wanted. "Wuji, all thanks to you, even if I can''t defeat Gai Ji, he wouldn''t be able to kill me easily now." Bai Yue said confidently. "You must have some ambition. If you keep thinking about how he couldn''t kill you easily, you wouldn''t improve. You should think of how you could get rid of him for good." Mo Wuji gave Bai Yue a pat on the back as he smiled. Even though he knew that Mo Wuji was joking, Bai Yue said with a serious face. "Senior Brother''s words are right and I will remember it well." "You don''t have to be so serious. Wait for me to install an energy gathering array and we will head to Nirvana Learning Stage together." Mo Wuji intended to use a peak grade god spiritual vein to install an internal energy gathering array to provide for Chi Chuan, Da Huang and Shuai Guo. This energy gathering array would only absorb energy from the god spiritual vein which he took out. It would have no relations with the god spiritual energy of the sect. ¡­ Mo Wuji had long heard of Nirvana Learning Stage before. He knew that this was one of the most beautiful places in Nirvana Learning Academy and also the place to gather for important events. After he and Bai Yue arrived at Nirvana Learning Stage, he truly realised how gorgeous this place was. A massive rock was suspended in mid-air surrounded by extremely green and vibrant spiritual plants. There were a few upside down rivers flowing down from the rock and fishes tried to swim up against the flow. The object on the opposite of the suspended rock was a massive red flower. Mo Wuji recognised that flower and knew that its name in Sanskrit was ma?jusaka. Its old Chinese name would be Red Spider Lily and some even called it the Nirvana Flower. On that massive rock stage, there was already at least 10,000-20,000 people gathered on it. Moreover, there was a continuous stream of Heavenly God experts flying and landing there. Bai Yue and Mo Wuji had just arrived and they could feel a killing intent. Turning behind, they spotted Gai Ji staring right at them. There was nothing but killing intent in Gai Ji''s eyes and he showed no intent to conceal it. Gai Ji''s killing intent was directly ignored by Mo Wuji. To his surprise were the two women standing beside Gai Ji. Mo Wuji didn''t find it weird that Wan Xi was standing beside Gai Ji. This woman was already in the Heavenly God Stage Level 6. Therefore, she was qualified to enter the fight. The other woman, Wan Ru, who was ridiculously beautiful, was also planning to participate? She was only in the Nascent God Level 6 so wouldn''t she be courting death? Bai Yue stood beside Mo Wuji and when he noticed Mo Wuji''s stare at Wan Ru, he whispered, "Wuji, don''t stare at this woman. Even though she had a nice character and was very gentle, too many people would be staring at her. As for the fight for cultivation resources, I doubt anyone would act against her. Everyone knows that she was merely participating to look for opportunities to advance." Mo Wuji nodded but didn''t say anything. After half a day of waiting, a silhouette appeared from the void as he stood on the peak of the massive rock. This was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with a slightly dark skin. He had his hair rolled up into a bun too. The mighty energy was felt and Mo Wuji knew that he was definitely a peak grade God King. The yellow robed man looked across the crowd and Mo Wuji felt as though he was showered with icy cold water. Mo Wuji''s prediction was that he had killed countless people before which was why he would have such terrifying cold killing energy. "Nirvana Learning Academy''s once in a century fight for resources is here again. Even though everyone should know the rules, I''ll still explain it once more¡­" Mo Wuji thought to himself. ''I don''t know the rules.'' The yellow robed man spoke warmly, "Only Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods would qualify to fight for resources this time around and the top 1000 would receive rewards. First place would be qualified to install Grade 6 energy gathering array, receive 100,000 nirvana points, obtain 100 slots to enter the god spiritual land to cultivate for a year, obtain 100 opportunities to enter the academy''s spiritual herbs secret realm for a month¡­ The second place to tenth would receive 10 places to install Grade 5 energy gathering god array, 30,000 nirvana points each and 10 opportunities to enter the god spiritual land to cultivate for a year and 10 opportunities to enter the spiritual herb secret realm for a month¡­ The 11th to 100th place would be qualified to install Grade 4 god energy gathering array and receive 3000 nirvana points each¡­" Mo Wuji was increasingly shocked at how wealthy Nirvana Learning Academy was as he heard till the end. After speaking about the cultivation resources, he even spoke about resources of magic treasures. Mo Wuji also realised that most of these resources would be rewarded to the first place. Evidently, Nirvana Learning Academy was trying to nurture out a powerhouse and make him even stronger than before. After speaking for over an hour, the yellow robed God King finally finished with his explanation. After this, the yellow robed God King paused for a while before continuing. "There are two different assessments for the fight for resources this time. The first is to enter the academy''s cultivation secret realm to look for resource tablet." Having said that, the yellow robed God King took out a palm-sized black coloured tablet before saying, "This is the resource tablet and the number of resource tablets to be found would be based on the number of cultivators joining. It will be a one to one ratio and every tablet equates to one point. The more tablets collected would mean more points collected. I must remind all the disciples who are participating of something. Nirvana Learning Academy''s resource secret realm is always a brand new place. Nobody has searched the place before. Hence, the moment you enter the secret realm, the contest will begin. Because these secret realms will contain large numbers of treasures, whoever obtains them will get to keep them. There is no need for you to report back to the academy on what you''ve obtained. After entering the fight for resources, you are responsible for your own life and death. If anyone is afraid, you can still back out now." Nobody backed out because how many would be afraid of death? All of them went through countless near-death experiences. Those who would be afraid wouldn''t show up here anyway. Evidently, the yellow robed God King knew that no one would back out so he merely nodded before speaking again. "The second assessment will only occur after the first assessment. Before entering the secret realm to look for the resource tablets, I must inform everyone first. Regardless of where you came from to participate in the fight for resources, the rewards that you obtain will belong to yourself only. However, only the reward of energy gathering array can be accumulated with others. 100 slots to install the Grade 3 god energy gathering array can be added together to earn the rights to install the Grade 4 god energy gathering array. Ten slots to install the Grade 4 god energy gathering array can be added together to install the Grade 5 god energy gathering array." The yellow robed God King paused intentionally for a while. After seeing that nobody objected, he retrieved tens of array flags. A void array gate suddenly appeared on the rock. "Alright, disciples participating in this fight can enter through that void transfer gate. It will bring you to the resource secret realm to look for the resource tablets. The duration will be one year and in one year''s time, everyone will be transferred back to Nirvana Learning Stage." The yellow gate God King pointed at the transfer gate. Mo Wuji didn''t expect that this first assessment would require a year. If he had known, he would have brought Shuai Guo and Da Huang along with him. "Wuji, after we enter the void transfer gate, we will definitely not be together anymore. Because of the laws of the secret realm, we won''t be able to communicate as well. Hence, you have to take care." Bai Yue said worriedly. No matter how strong Mo Wuji might be, he was still in the Nascent God Stage. Chapter 1011: Fight for Resource Tablets Chapter 1011: Fight for Resource Tablets Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You better take care of yourself too and don''t you worry about me," Mo Wuji chuckled. His spiritual will had landed on Gai Ji, and if possible, Mo Wuji really wanted to leave a spiritual will imprint on Gai Ji. However, this was merely a casual thought. Mo Wuji knew that with his limited strength, the yellow robe God King would definitely detect Mo Wuji''s attempt to place that imprint on Gai Ji. "Then I shall head off first, you should hurry too. The earlier you head in, the more likely you''ll obtain more treasures," having said that, Bai Yue took a step into the crowd and disappeared out of sight. Just as Mo Wuji was about to follow Bai Yue in, he sensed that Gai Ji had sped up and landed right behind him. Very soon, Mo Wuji understood what Gai Ji was trying to do. This fella''s hand shook a little and actually managed to leave a concealed spiritual will imprint on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was speechless. Given Mo Wuji''s mighty spiritual will and the aid of his spirit storage channel, even if Gai Ji was a World God, let alone Heavenly God, he could forget about trying to place a spiritual will imprint on Wuji without him noticing. Mo Wuji didn''t believe that Gai Ji''s act of placing the spiritual will imprint was not detected by the yellow robe God King. However, after Gai Ji did that, the yellow robe God King appeared as though he hadn''t seen anything as he remained unperturbed. In that instance, Mo Wuji knew that even if this yellow robe God King wasn''t from the Single Return God Sect, he must be closely related to them. Given Mo Wuji''s character, he would usually return the favour by placing a spiritual will imprint on Gai Ji too. But now that he noticed how this yellow robe God King had acted, Mo Wuji chose not to return the favour. If he had done that, he might have been slapped to death by the yellow robe God King even before he entered the resource tablet secret realm. That God King might have pretended not to see Gai Ji''s act but Mo Wuji was certain that if he was to do the same, he would be caught instantly. Mo Wuji pretended not to notice this spiritual will imprint as he approached the void gate calmly. The intense spatial fluctuations could be felt, but with his powerful spiritual will and will, Mo Wuji managed to stay conscious. Mo Wuji suspected that only Cang Zhengxing might be able to install such a well-built spatial transfer. Within the spatial transfer, Mo Wuji didn''t even feel the change in time. All he knew after the spatial fluctuations were that he felt like a huge rock being pulled by gravity as he fell from the void. Even though Mo Wuji had his spirit storage channel, Mo Wuji landed on the ground and dented a huge hole in the ground. "Boom!" The surrounding soil flew up and Mo Wuji wondered if this was intentional from the transfer array; to let everyone fall hard before everything else. Once he stood firm, Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan the surrounding. To his surprise, this was actually a planet with a thin layer of god spiritual energy and broken laws. Moreover, the gravitational pull here was exceedingly strong. It was at least ten times stronger than the Earth''s gravitational pull. Mo Wuji didn''t mind because God Continent and God Domain were also very vast. However, the gravitational pull wasn''t very strong there and might even be weaker than on Earth. That was because God Continent and God Domain had the laws of Heaven and Earth and also the additional support of dense god spiritual energy. If the laws of God Continent and God Domain were to be entirely broken one day, there wouldn''t be a need for gravitational pull because based on the two large surfaces, it would be enough to cause these two places to collapse. There were many meteorites in the void because they were formed from the collapse of planets. Mo Wuji found a quiet place before changing his entire outfit. Following that, he put on yet another mask as he hurried to leave. Entering this place was equivalent to entering a slaughterhouse. There might be a lot of resource tablets here but a single person on his own would certainly not be able to do well. Only through snatching and collaboration¡­ will one be able to obtain more resource tablets. Nirvana Learning Academy was clearly not trying to protect its disciples. By organising such a fight for resources, they were encouraging the killing of each other. This proved that behind every powerful organisation, there were bloody fights to squeeze out the best people. Mo Wuji wasn''t bothered because if Nirvana Learning Academy was really a gentle and all-loving place, it would eventually be swallowed regardless of how many experts they had. How would they be able to survive this long? Even though Mo Wuji had put on a mask, the only thing he didn''t remove was Gai Ji''s spiritual will imprint. Gai Ji might be looking for him and he was also looking for Gai Ji. He was leaving the spiritual will imprint to lure Gai Ji over and so what if Gai Ji knew that Mo Wuji had put on a mask? In his eyes, Gai Ji was already a dead man. So what if he was ranked number 6 among Nirvana Learning Academy''s Heavenly Gods? If he wanted to kill Mo Wuji, he should expect no mercy from Mo Wuji himself. Even if the Academy''s Head''s son wanted to kill Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji would return the exact favour so why would he not do it against a mere disciple of the Single Return God Sect? Perhaps because of the broken laws here on this planet, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will from his sea of consciousness could only extend up to 200 metres. Fortunately for him, his spiritual will from his spirit storage channel was able to extend up to over a few thousand metres. This made it much easier for Mo Wuji to find the resource tablets. With the spiritual will from his spirit storage channel, he could easily extend his search up to more than ten times of what other people could. Very soon, Mo Wuji found his first resource tablet which was hidden underneath a rock. Well, it was not that he found it, but that he saw it with his spiritual will and then just picked it up easily. With the first tablet, he found the second, third¡­ Over the next five days, Mo Wuji managed to find 192 resource tablets all thanks to his mighty spiritual will. At this moment, Mo Wuji''s speed of finding the resource tablet increased yet again because he was also gaining experience. The placements of these resource tablets were very odd; some were at the bottom of a dried up river while some were inside a rock. What made Mo Wuji the most speechless was that he found a resource tablet simply floating in the void. Tens of days later, Mo Wuji was still searching intensely for the resource tablets. He was certain that only in the initial phase would he be able to search for a lot of resource tablets so fearlessly. Once this period was over and more cultivators spread out, the use of his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will would be significantly reduced. Eventually, he would end up like all the other cultivators and he wouldn''t possess any further advantage. On the 25th day, Mo Wuji had collected a total of 1031 resource tablets. At this point in time, his rate of finding a resource tablet had slowed down significantly. At the very beginning, Mo Wuji was able to find over 100 resource tablets in a day. Presently, finding six to seven tablets a day would be considered impressive. Yet another resource tablet was spotted by Mo Wuji as it was placed underneath the roots of a dried up tree. Even though it was over a thousand miles away from Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji''s Wind Escape Technique brought himself nearby in just a few breaths. He extended his arm to pick up the resource tablet. "Put down that resource tablet and storage ring and scram." Before Mo Wuji could keep the tablet into his storage ring, he heard a gloomy voice. In the next moment, a brown robe cultivator landed in front of Mo Wuji. With Mo Wuji''s judgement, he could tell that this fella was in the Heavenly God Level 7. It seemed like this fella wanted to bully Mo Wuji for his low cultivation level before killing him to take his items. Over the past few days, Mo Wuji did notice some cultivators wandering around. Because his acts of picking up the tablets were so swift, Mo Wuji didn''t bother wasting time bickering with these cultivators. Normally if he noticed cultivators, he would head the other direction. Now that someone came out to obstruct him and even demanded him to take out his storage ring and resource tablets, Mo Wuji didn''t even wish to converse with him. Mo Wuji extended his whirlpool domain and followed it up with a Domain Crushing Fist. No other words would be more direct than an immediate attack. This Heavenly God Level 7 expert didn''t expect that a Nascent God with no evident spirituality would actually dare to attack him first. He chuckled and just as he was prepared to slap Mo Wuji to death, his heart sank. Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain felt like one which belonged to a God Monarch as it instantly oppressed his own domain. Following that, the space around him turned viscous. This was undoubtedly an expert much more powerful than himself and the Heavenly God panicked. He couldn''t even get himself to fight back as he shouted. "I am He Chang of the Reincarnation God Path, you cannot¡­" "Pft!" A fog of blood appeared and He Chang''s body was crushed in split seconds. Mo Wuji was also shocked at how his single fist could finish off a Heavenly God Level 7 expert. Even if He Chang was unable to retaliate, he shouldn''t have died so easily right? Could Mo Wuji really have grown so much? He shook his head but didn''t continue thinking about it. He stretched out to pick up He Chang''s storage ring as he muttered to himself. "If I were you, I would have chosen to defend myself instead of shouting my sect." Indeed, if He Chang tried to defend himself, Mo Wuji probably wouldn''t have been able to get rid of him in just one fist. So what if he was from the Reincarnation God Path? This was a slaughter ground and he expects Mo Wuji to show mercy just because he was from a big sect? After casually packing up, Mo Wuji left the area. ¡­ Yet another ten days later, Mo Wuji only managed to find ten more tablets. In fact, there were three fellas who tried to rob him and they were all destroyed by him. From these three fellas, he managed to collect an additional 40 over resource tablets. Mo Wuji also knew that to obtain tablets now, the easiest way would be to rob others. However, Mo Wuji unwilling to do that. It was fine if others tried to rob him and he retaliated but he was certainly unwilling to be the one to rob others. Not only would this violate his Dao heart, it would also go against his conscience and morals. He came from Earth so he had his own values and pride. After all, not every cultivator here would be out to rob others. Mo Wuji had seen some Heavenly God cultivators with no intention of robbing him even though they were supposedly stronger. What disappointed Mo Wuji the most was that Gai Ji was not here yet. Logically speaking, if Gai Ji had placed a spiritual will imprint on him, the first thing he should have done was to find Mo Wuji. In Mo Wuji''s heart, Gai Ji was like a fat lamb sending himself to Mo Wuji. Looking at how vicious a person like Gai Ji was, he would definitely have quite a number of resource tablets on him. After waiting for a few days and Gai Ji had not appeared, Mo Wuji decided to head further into the depths of the planet to look for more resource tablets. Chapter 1012: Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo Chapter 1012: Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After travelling for four days, Mo Wuji came to a halt as he was attracted by the coldness of his surroundings. When he approached the source of the coldness, he realised that it was actually an extreme ice cascade. Logically speaking, when water reached a temperature which was low enough, it would turn into ice. The ice cascade in front of him was actually not ice but still liquid. Even so, the extreme coolness exuded from it was something even Mo Wuji''s physique could barely take it. Mo Wuji was certain that under such extreme conditions, an average Heavenly God wouldn''t be able to last long without any magic treasure protection. A cascade which wouldn''t turn into ice was definitely something formed from a pure ice attribute treasure. Because of the laws, no matter how cold it was, it wouldn''t freeze. Mo Wuji used his spiritual will to scan through and his body flashed into the extreme ice cascade. Naturally, he wouldn''t want to miss such a treasure. Once he stepped into the ice cascade, Mo Wuji knew that someone had been here before. In fact, there was more than one person and at least three people who had been here before. Looking at the marks, it was evident that they had just arrived and should have already ventured deeper into the cascade. This extreme ice cascade was like a cave with a waterfall as its mouth as the cave extended inwards. The laws of the ice attribute were so strong inside the cave that Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was being obstructed. Everything he saw was very faint. Mo Wuji directly concealed his own aura and body as he executed his Wind Escape Technique. He entered the depths of the cave together with the slight wind. He would definitely not want to miss out on the treasures inside the cave. In less than half an incense worth of time, Mo Wuji stopped in front of a massive lake. The energy of the ice cascade outside was strong but this lake was as calm as a mirror. There were three people by the lake and to Mo Wuji''s surprise, he actually recognised one of them. It was Wan Ru, the woman who was only in the Nascent God Level 6 but could actually stand in a place with such extreme temperatures. Mo Wuji understood how Wan Ru was able to stand here. Whether it was Wan Ru or the two other men beside her, they were all supported by some sort of talisman. Mo Wuji was also considered a Grade 3 Talisman Master. While he couldn''t recognise which talisman it was, he could tell that it was at least a Grade 4 God Talisman. One of the men standing beside Wan Ru was in a red robe with a fair skin. He was already in the Heavenly God Level 9. The other person, who was skinny, tall and wearing a green robe, was also in the Heavenly God Level 9. Mo Wuji could feel the condensed spirituality of the red robe fella and it seemed like he was even stronger than Gai Ji. With reference to Gai Ji''s result in Nirvana Learning Academy''s Heavenly Gods assessment, Mo Wuji was certain that this red robe fella would be ranked in the top 5. True, a person who could follow a gorgeous girl like Wan Ru had to be in certain calibre as well. "Senior Brother Fei, I''ve heard that when the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo produces the ice lake, the surrounding would be multiple times colder. Our talisman is only a Grade 4 talisman, will it be able to protect us?" The skinny and tall cultivator asked. From his tone, he should be addressing the red robed man as senior brother. However, Mo Wuji''s heart was in a shock. Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo? Could the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo be within this lake? Despite not seeing it before, Mo Wuji has heard of it twice. The first time was in the legacy left behind by Green Robe God Pill King. The second time was from Chi Bing. This was a peak grade unique treasure and it was rumoured to have no grade. In other words, the lowest tier of this god herb was at least Tier 7. As long as it was a herb surpassing Tier 7, there were extremely few records in God Continent. There were many uses for the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Condensing a fleshly body with only primordial spirit was merely the most ordinary uses of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Rumours spread that out of all the known spiritual roots purifying treasures, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was deservingly ranked number one. A fruit like the Soul Cleansing Dao Fruit would only be considered trash when compared to the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. When cultivators with ice spiritual roots used the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo at a specific time, one could even turn his spiritual roots into stainless spiritual roots. Even so, this was still not the most beneficial use of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. The more important use of the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was its ability to purify. Having this Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo while cultivating could get rid of all distracting thoughts and also allow you to absorb god spiritual energy without impurities from the distorted laws. This alone was terrifying enough. Why was Mo Wuji able to cultivate at a much faster speed than everyone else? Besides his 108 meridians, his Mortal Dao was able to get rid of all complicated Dao laws and absorb only the purest of god spiritual energy. Evidently, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was exceedingly valuable. Previously, Mo Wuji thought about how the experts of Nirvana Learning Academy must have been through this place before since they had thrown so many resource tablets here. Now, he started to question his own guess. If the experts of Nirvana Learning Academy had really been here, they wouldn''t have neglected this Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Moreover, they wouldn''t have just left the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo to the disciples fighting for resources here. From some perspectives, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was much more valuable than the Breath of Hongmeng. "It should protect us. From what I know, the time which the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo appears would be very limited. Specifically, it would only last for ten breaths. Our talisman is a peak Grade 4 talisman to defend against the cold so even if the cold were to increase by one more fold, our talisman should be able to defend against it for a small incense worth of time. In that time available to us, Big Brother Fei would have already kept that Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo," To Mo Wuji''s surprise, the one speaking was Wan Ru. The skinny and tall man nodded, "Indeed, Senior Brother Fei was ranked number 5 in the ten great Heavenly Gods of Nirvana Learning Academy. He wouldn''t even need ten breaths to retrieve the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo." Wan Ru''s cultivation level had been stagnant for a period of time but her knowledge would not lose to any of the two men. This was because she liked to read all sorts of jade letters and ancient scrolls. Many God Monarchs or even World Gods would ask Wan Ru on matters which they couldn''t understand. Mo Wuji sneered at how ridiculous their conversation was. According to the introduction manual of Green Robe God Pill King, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo grows in the icy lake. Every 48 hours, it will emerge once and every emergence would last for 49 breaths. Moreover, the coldness in the surrounding would increase by over ten folds and certainly not just one fold. Looking at the temperature now, an increase of ten folds would make it hard even for a Grade 5 talisman to defend against the cold. Retrieving the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was only possible at the moment it emerges. Otherwise, the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo would disappear once it was disturbed. As for how the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was able to disappear, Green Robe God Pill King recorded that it could remove itself from this world. However, it was more likely the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo has an innate gift for spatial teleportation. If Wan Ru wasn''t speaking blindly, it would mean that she had her own motives. Mo Wuji reached out for his Book of Luo cautiously. With his physique at the Half Sage Level, he wouldn''t fear the ordinary cold. However, if the cold were to multiply by ten folds, even his Half Sage physique would freeze to death. The man in red robe nodded, "Wan Ru is right, at that time I will retrieve the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo at the very first moment." As time passed by, half of Mo Wuji''s attention was on Wan Ru. Mo Wuji had a sensing that this woman was not simple at all. Four hours later, the peaceful and calm lake started having ripples. Mo Wuji knew that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was about to emerge. The three others seemed to know that the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was about to appear too as they looked intently on the lake. The cultivator with the surname ''Fei'' was also prepared to charge into it. "Kacha!" It was clearly water that splashed from the lake but it sounded like ice. A sparkling and translucent ice bamboo gradually extended out from the lake. The leaves of the ice bamboo were so white that it looked like snow. There was a total of 6 suaves petals. The temperature in the surroundings might have dropped tremendously but it was still unable to block out the faint fragrance. The cultivator in red robe was dumbfounded because according to Wan Ru, it would only last for ten breaths and it should have emerged completely by now. At the rate that it was extending out, ten breaths didn''t seem enough. The cold increased rapidly and the red robe cultivator could hear his defensive talisman cracking. This was when he looked over to Wan Ru worriedly. "Senior Brother Fei, this coldness is definitely more than one fold. It is still rising so let''s hurry out¡­" Without waiting for instructions from the red robed man, the other skinny and tall cultivator shouted anxiously, "Something''s wrong!" The red robe cultivator suddenly realised something as his body flashed. He needed to get out of this place first. Before he could move, two killing radiances were already locked onto him and shot towards him. "Kacha!" At that moment, the talisman protecting the red robe cultivator was torn apart. "Wan Ru, you¡­" The red robe cultivator looked agonisingly at Wan Ru. He didn''t expect that the person who acted against him was only in the Nascent God Level 6. To make things worse, she was a person who was usually very gentle and polite. Wan Ru said gently, "It is your honour to die beside me so please rest in peace¡­" After saying this, the skinny green robe cultivator had already turned into ice after being frozen and ambushed by Wan Ru. He was already struggling to cope with the cold but if Wan Ru hadn''t ambushed him, he would have a chance to escape. Now that Wan Ru had acted against him as well, how was he supposed to survive? "Wan Ru, even if I, Fei Yidao were to die, I will drag a despicable person like you down with me¡­" The red robe cultivator shouted as his body turned into pieces. However, a red radiance was actually shot out from his breaking body as it was aimed towards Wan Ru. Just like what Fei Yidao said, even if he died, he had to drag Wan Ru with him. It was a pity that he miscalculated his attack. Even though the red radiance landed on Wan Ru, it merely resulted in a white light. It seemed as though some sort of talisman surrounding Wan Ru was torn apart. Wan Ru didn''t explode like how Fei Yidao did. She sat down with her eyes shut as if she was trying to shut out the cold from her body. At this moment, she didn''t even bother about the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. At the very most, she would only need to wait for another 48 hours. Mo Wuji was shocked because this woman was definitely not in the Nascent God Level 6. Mo Wuji suspected that even if Fei Yidao were to fight head-on with Wan Ru, he wouldn''t have been a match for her. What was this woman''s ultimate motive for concealing herself so well? Regardless of what she was trying to do, it wouldn''t be related to Mo Wuji. Just as Wan Ru was healing herself, Mo Wuji''s entire body turned into a wind as he charged towards the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. Chapter 1013: Landing of the Silver River Chapter 1013: Landing of the Silver River Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wan Ru, who was healing herself, appeared to have sensed something. Her eyes moved slightly but she did not open them. On the surface, her injuries didn''t appear severe but she knew herself well. Fei Yidao''s red radiance was simply too powerful. If she was able to bear with the pain from Fei Yidao''s attack, she would definitely not risk her life by healing herself here. With his fastest speed, Mo Wuji grabbed the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo and tossed it into his Mortal World after striking out the restrictions. Following that, he used his Wind Escape Technique to disappear once more. The Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo didn''t have a stolon. Once it left the icy lake, it was just like a normal ice jade as it no longer exuded that extreme coldness. The surrounding coldness had disappeared and naturally, Wan Ru would have detected it. She opened her eyes and an icy cold killing intent appeared in her eyes. Someone actually took away the item of her dreams from her while she was healing herself. Whoever it was, they could forget about taking advantage of her. ¡­ Two hours later, Mo Wuji chose a secluded area to enter his own Mortal World. The Mortal World was already very huge and while it was still slightly grey and blurry, the laws within it were incredibly clear. All the laws were enlightened by Mo Wuji himself and were within his Dao laws. Presently, the Mortal World gave Mo Wuji a totally different feeling as compared to his previous Undying World. Previously, he wasn''t certain as to how mighty his Undying World was or how many attacks it could bear. However, Mo Wuji was clear and certain of everything in his Mortal World. Tens of intermediate and high grade spiritual veins accumulated in his Mortal World resulting in a dense god spiritual energy. A few low grade god spiritual herbs were planted at the corners of the place. Even though there was only one sunlight array, they were growing very well. Mo Wuji was even more certain that anyone with a cultivation level lower than his would be able to cultivate without any restraints of the laws of Heaven and Earth. After entering the Mortal World, Mo Wuji hurried to take out the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. This Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was about 30 centimetres long and there were about 9 hexagon shaped bamboo leaves. As he held it in his hands, there was a warm and comfortable feeling. His entire heart became clear and there was no sign of the coldness back at the icy lake. This was indeed a good item as Mo Wuji was very pleased. Even if he didn''t manage to get any placings, he was already satisfied with being able to obtain the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. But since he was already here, Mo Wuji didn''t plan on giving up on the first place. He specially forged out a jade box to keep the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo in it. After striking out some restrictions again, Mo Wuji left his Mortal World. Multiple days later, Mo Wuji was constantly on the lookout for more resource tablets as well as all other sorts of materials. As to whether Gai Ji was able to find him, Mo Wuji was no longer thinking about it. Just when Mo Wuji was no longer interested in looking for Gai Ji, his spiritual will sensed Gai Ji. Mo Wuji was certain that Gai Ji had detected his own spiritual will imprint. However, that fella only glanced towards him for a moment but chose not to head towards him. Instead, he hurried off in another direction. Gai Ji might not want to find him but Mo Wuji had never intended to let him go. Without much thought, Mo Wuji hurried over. As if he could sense Mo Wuji''s pursuit, Gai Ji escaped even quicker. Even though Mo Wuji''s Wind Escape Technique would be able to obstruct Gai Ji swiftly, Mo Wuji stayed behind to find out where this fella was trying to go. Half a day later, Gai Ji came to a halt and so did Mo Wuji. He finally understood why Gai Ji wanted to come here. There was actually a natural defensive array here and there were at least a few hundred people attacking this defensive array. Every time the defensive array was attacked, it would emit a dense god spiritual energy. This god spiritual energy brought along a pure primal energy. One could imagine the great things inside this defensive array. It could very well be hiding a heaven-splitting treasure. Initially, Mo Wuji was only hiding behind as he spectated. Why would he bother about anything else as he rushed and joined the crowd in attacking the defensive array? He was inwardly surprised at the abilities of these big sects. Ever since he entered, he was not able to communicate with Bai Yue. For Gai Ji to know of this place, he must have received some sort of message. Even though it wasn''t a great distance, sending messages on this broken planet was not a simple thing. "You are very daring, even more daring than I imagine." Gai Ji commented as he noticed that Mo Wuji actually dared to step out. Concurrently, an ancient god mirror started suspending on top of his head with a swing of his hand. Just like Mo Wuji''s prediction, Gai Ji was aware of Mo Wuji''s pursuit. The only reason why he didn''t act against Mo Wuji was because he was desperate to come here after receiving the news of a primal treasure. As compared to a primal treasure, his hatred for Mo Wuji could be set aside for now. Now that the defensive array was yet to be opened, he wanted to kill Mo Wuji first. "Boom!" Explosive sounds were heard and that natural defensive array had finally collapsed under the combined attacks of the hundred over experts. An extraordinarily dense pure god spiritual energy surged out wildly. Even though everyone wasn''t cultivating, all of them could feel their cultivation level rising. Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. He possessed the Breath of Hongmeng so he was 100% sure that this was a newly opened treasure ground which nobody had set foot on before. Not only did this energy contained the primal energy, there was also the exceedingly clear laws of Heaven and Earth. Newborn Dao laws were the clearest and easiest to capture. In other words, those who cultivated here would find it easier to cultivate and reach a much higher level in God Continent. Without any hesitation, everyone surged in. Even Gai Ji, who was preparing to attack Mo Wuji, gave up on attacking Mo Wuji as he rushed right in too. Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel''s spiritual will managed to sense the situation on the inside. It looked like a massive basin. Within the basin, there seemed to be over a hundred beehive looking items. The god spiritual energy with the primal energy was emitted from these beehives. In the centre of the basin, there was a huge primal beehive which was about ten times bigger than the surrounding beehives. The god spiritual energy emitted from it was outstandingly dense and its primal laws were also much clearer than its surrounding. There were at least seven to eight people charging towards the biggest beehive in the centre. Other cultivators, who knew they weren''t strong enough to compete, simply headed towards the smaller primal beehives. With a single wind teleportation, Mo Wuji landed right on the top of the primal beehive. He spoke with cold intent, "I am using this so everyone else please help yourself to the rest. I will kill anyone without mercy within ten feet of me." "Haha!" A loud laughter was heard. "I, Gai Ji, do want to see how you are going to kill without mercy. I have always wanted to kill you but I''ve never expected your luck to be this good that I''ve never had the chance to do so. If you escape now, you might still be able to breathe for a few more days. Since you like to seek death, don''t blame your grandfather. Die for me¡­" Once the voice was heard, Gai Ji''s ancient god mirror was already charging towards Mo Wuji. Explosive Heavenly God''s domain was also swept fearlessly towards Mo Wuji. The incoming cultivators saw that Gai Ji was also fighting for this area so they hurried to make way. Who wouldn''t have heard of Gai Ji, who was ranked number 6 out of the top ten Heavenly Gods in Nirvana Learning Academy? This was someone who even experts half a step into the God Monarch Stage couldn''t afford to offend. Even if the primal beehives were good, they wouldn''t want to go against Gai Ji. Even if they managed to snatch it, Gai Ji would still take their lives after leaving this place. The explosive domain had instantly reached the periphery of Mo Wuji''s whirlpool domain. Under the clash of the domains, explosions could be heard from all around. Just a clash of the domain and Mo Wuji knew how much stronger Gai Ji was as compared to He Chang, whom he killed with just one punch. The ancient god mirror was emitting a strikingly bright radiance which made Mo Wuji felt as though the space around him was about to dissolve. Mo Wuji let out a long sigh and he raised his hand. The grey colour halberd appeared in his hand. This was the halberd forged by Mo Wuji using his Chance Water and Rootless God Steel. Whether it was on the Rogue Cultivator Battlestage or when he killed He Chang, Mo Wuji didn''t have the chance to take out his magic treasure. This was actually his first time drawing out the magic treasure forged with the Rootless God Steel. The moment the Half Moon Weighted Halberd landed in his hands, a sort of confidence and mightiness overwhelmed Mo Wuji''s body. The long halberd struck out half a circle as it brought along a Winding River down towards Gai Ji. Gai Ji really didn''t put Mo Wuji in his eyes. Even if Mo Wuji was in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage, let alone Nascent God, Gai Ji only saw Mo Wuji as a small fry. After his domain clashed with Mo Wuji''s domain, his heart stopped beating for a moment. How was Mo Wuji''s domain one that belonged to a Nascent God? Even back when he killed that expert who was half a step into the God Monarch Stage, his domain didn''t seem this powerful. "Ka!" This was the first time Gai Ji felt that his domain was being ripped open by his opponent''s domain. Even though they had yet to fight, this added a slight fear to his heart. His immense spiritual will started to surge into his ancient god mirror and it instantly condensed out a light radiance like a scorching sun. This was his peak grade light attribute sacred art, Scorching Light. Once his Scorching Light landed on his opponent, it wouldn''t matter how strong the opponent''s domain was. It would be instantaneously destroyed. Similarly, all sorts of defensive armour would turn into nothing under his Scorching Light. This place was evidently the best place to cultivate. Gai Ji felt that he needed to get rid of this rogue cultivator as soon as possible before hurrying to start his cultivation. God spiritual energy would always be limited so he might fall behind if he started cultivating a little later. Just as this scorching sun like light radiance was condensing, Gai Ji suddenly felt a blockage in his spiritual will. It was as if something had abruptly chopped off his execution of a sacred art. Before he could realise what was going on, a silver winding river had landed. Surging down from 3000 feet above, the Winding River charged down with tremendous force. As the Winding River landed on that scorching sun, it splashed out a brilliant radiance. The gorgeous eye-catching radiance overwhelmed the entire sky. Whether it was Gai Ji or Mo Wuji, they were both encapsulated within this brilliant radiance. Chapter 1014: You Dare To Act Chapter 1014: You Dare To Act Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations His heart and mind were filled with great fear. Ever since he started cultivating, Gai Ji had never felt as helpless as he was today. At the moment his spiritual will was blocked off and his sacred art was chopped off, he unknowingly felt a unique sort of panic and fear. Gai Ji tried to burn his blood essence in an attempt to break out of Mo Wuji''s Winding River as well as whirlpool domain. "Pft!" A blood radiance splattered out and Gai Ji finally dashed out of that brilliant radiance. However, he was no longer capable of escaping any further as he simply fell from the void. On the surface, it looked like Gai Ji managed to escape successfully. Only those with better observation skills would notice the thin blood scar on Gai Ji''s chest. Indeed, that blood scar was the one which destroyed Gai Ji''s Dantian and spiritual channels. "Why are you¡­" Gai Ji wanted to ask why was Mo Wuji so strong but the blood in his mouth made him unable to finish his words. At that moment, his inner heart was filled with nothing but immense regret. Gai Ji had mixed thoughts regarding his own strength and how he had underestimated this rogue cultivator tremendously. Now that he thought of this, if the opponent wasn''t strong, how was Gai Ji able to sense his presence from over a few thousand miles away? How was Mo Wuji able to reach the primal beehives even before himself? Perhaps Mo Wuji had already found out about the spiritual will imprint placed by him and was merely waiting for him to act. The pity was that he had severely underestimated this puny Nascent God. He always believed that this rogue cultivator was not even qualified to be his stepping stone onto greater cultivation. Today, he was defeated by a single sacred art attack by this puny Nascent God. To make things worse, the puny Nascent God even managed to stop his sacred art. Gai Ji gradually closed his eyes as he didn''t even bother pleading for mercy. He knew, for certain, that the opponent wouldn''t spare his life. He suddenly realised that all that endless hatred and anger were nothing in front of death. No matter how gorgeous a woman was, she wouldn''t be related to him after death. As for whether this Rogue Cultivator 2705 would be killed by the Single Return God Sect, it would no longer concern him. He finally understood this logic, right before death. Indeed, the halberd radiance was drawn and a white radiance tore his Mind Palace apart. Even his primordial spirit was instantly destroyed. When a storage ring flew towards Mo Wuji, a flame landed right on Gai Ji''s body. This well-practiced move resulted in silence among the hundreds of people around the scene. Even those searching for the primal beehives became more cautious with their actions. Gai Ji, an expert ranked number 6 among the Heavenly Gods of Nirvana Learning Academy, was actually killed in a single move by an unknown fella. Who would dare to make a racket in front of this person? Even more people suspected if Mo Wuji was ranked in the top 5 or not. However, nobody dared to step out to say or ask such questions at a time like this. Mo Wuji kept his Half Moon Weighted Halberd as his heart was in mad glee. It wasn''t because he managed to kill Gai Ji but because he realised the importance of his purchase of the Chance Water. If he hadn''t added the Chance Water to his Half Moon Weighted Halberd, he would definitely not be able to finish Gai Ji off in one attempt. He wasn''t fearful of Gai Ji but he would probably need to execute his spatial sacred art or Seven World Fingers to get rid of Gai Ji. Because he added the Chance Water, it was equivalent to him executing two sacred arts in one attack. Gai Ji was merely a Heavenly God Level 8 expert so how was he supposed to defend himself against two sacred arts in one attack? As he landed back on the biggest primal beehive, Mo Wuji used a hoarse voice to announce, "Anyone who dares to set foot within ten feet of this primal beehive will end up like this person: killed without mercy." Hearing Mo Wuji''s announcement of his turf, some of the closer cultivators subconsciously took a few steps back. Even if they weren''t within ten feet, they were too fearful of this crazily powerful person in front of them. Moreover, he was an existence who even dared to kill Gai Ji so who would dare to offend him? Eventually, cultivators started to fight for the outer primal beehives. Nobody even dared to claim the few smaller primal beehives nearer to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji didn''t bother about building his personal fiefdom at a time like this. When it was regarding cultivation resources, Mo Wuji was certainly not Mr Nice Guy. After standing on top of this biggest primal beehive, Mo Wuji threw out a few array flags to defend the area around him. Concurrently, he installed a simple Grade 3 God Killing Array. Having done that, Mo Wuji sat down on top of the primal beehive as he started to circulate all 108 meridians to cultivate. At this place, he didn''t even need to install any sort of energy gathering array because the dense primal god spiritual energy was already surging wildly towards him. With such pure and dense god spiritual energy, it was almost like there was a hole at the bottom of the river on top of Mo Wuji''s head. This was when a massive whirlpool started to form. Perhaps others might realise that he was Mo Wuji from the situation arising from his cultivation but Mo Wuji was no longer concerned. As the surrounding cultivators sensed the terrifying rate at which Mo Wuji was absorbing the god spiritual energy, everyone started on their own cultivation. This place was previously sealed up so there must be a limit to the god spiritual energy here. Looking at Mo Wuji''s speed of cultivating, they might miss out completely if they were to be one step slower. This was Mo Wuji''s first time realising how mighty and comfortable it was to cultivate with such pure and dense primal god spiritual energy. When that endless energy of the Heaven and Earth flowed into his meridians, one circulation was enough to get rid of all the impurities. The laws of his Mortal Dao became as clear and striking as black ink stained on a white paper. "Kacha!" Without any sluggishness, Mo Wuji broke through the Nascent God Level 11 as he charged into the Nascent God Level 12. Presently, the rate of absorbing the god spiritual energy was even more immense as the whirlpool above his head grew even larger. As time passed by, the latecomers would simply cultivate at the periphery of the beehives. Even if they weren''t on the beehives, cultivating at the periphery of it would already be a thousand folds better than anywhere else. As for the ten feet radius around Mo Wuji, there was still nobody who dared to set foot in it. As long as one wasn''t stupid enough, one should know that Mo Wuji wasn''t an existence you want to mess with. This entire place was only this big and yet, Mo Wuji was able to occupy the largest primal beehive to himself. Not only that, he had also installed a defensive array and nobody dared to oppose him. Who would go ahead to provoke him the moment they arrived? All Mo Wuji felt was his continual rise in cultivation level. He even suspected that he might be able to break through the Nascent God Stage and advanced into the Heavenly God Stage within one month. Half a month passed by and a long sigh could be heard. A Heavenly God wearing a purple robe stood up as he drew out his magic treasure. A mighty god energy fluctuated as it condensed around his body. His aura was getting increasingly strong and evident by the minute. A few of the cultivators closer to this Heavenly God hurried to back off anxiously. The crowd looked enviously at this purple robe Heavenly God as they all knew that he was about to step into the God Monarch Stage. Only in this place, where there was primal god spiritual energy and heaven splitting energy, would one be able to advance into the God Monarch Stage without any external aid. Advancement in this way was much better than using the Monarch Condensing God Pill. God Monarchs were not allowed in here so once this person entered the God Monarch Stage, who would be a threat to him? The first place would undoubtedly belong to this God Monarch expert. Indeed, flashes of lightning bolts landed right after the purple robe Heavenly God stood up. Every time the lightning bolt struck out a blood fog from this Heavenly God''s body, the primal god spiritual energy would recover his physique in the fastest possible time. Some of the other cultivators, who were also in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage, continued to absorb the god spiritual energy without restraint, hoping that they could advance in this place too. Which other places would be more suitable for them to advance to become a God Monarch when compared to this place? "Boom boom boom!" More lightning fell and even more blood fogs appeared. However, the energy of the Heavenly God undergoing his tribulation was getting increasingly powerful. Finally, when the last lightning bolt fell, and the spiritual cloud landed, the Heavenly God let out a huge breath. Previously, if he was considered slightly fearful of Mo Wuji, he was no longer bothered by Mo Wuji now that he had stepped into the God Monarch Stage. In less than a day, this God Monarch didn''t even wait for his cultivation to stabilise as he landed right outside Mo Wuji''s defensive array. Following a swing of his hand, he drew out his magic treasure. Mo Wuji''s Grade 3 killing array was not even able to defend against his attack as it collapsed right in front of him. All eyes fell back on Mo Wuji''s side. In fact, everyone had already expected this. The first and most logical thing the Heavenly God would do after becoming a God Monarch was to snatch the Mo Wuji''s position to cultivate. A lot of people started to doubt Mo Wuji''s intelligence. If they were Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn''t allow anyone to step into the God Monarch Stage here. Because once someone did that, the centre position to cultivate would no longer be related to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji opened his eyes as he stood up gradually. The Half Moon Weighted Halberd had appeared automatically in front of him. The god energy of the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage started surging within his meridians. He didn''t have any god lattice but at this moment, he could clearly sense the Heavenly God Stage. As long as he was willing, he would be able to advance to become a Heavenly God. As for this purple robe cultivator, Mo Wuji was well aware that he was undergoing his tribulation earlier. Since the opponent didn''t offend him, he really didn''t wish to kill or obstruct his cultivation path. Also because he was worried that the purple robe cultivator would snatch his turf after advancing to become a God Monarch, Mo Wuji chose not to step into the Heavenly God Stage. He waited for the opponent''s arrival and if he really did come to snatch his turf, Mo Wuji''s lightning tribulation will show him why his God Monarch tribulation meant nothing at all. "I am Li Wuzhen of the Cultivators Embassy," The purple robe man spoke while staring at Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji replied calmly, "You''ve destroyed my defensive array and stepped into my turf." Li Wuzhen laughed out loud. "Yes, you are right. I want to let you know that I am using this beehive now. Scram after handing over whatever you obtained from Gai Ji and also your own storage ring." A mighty energy could be felt so how could Mo Wuji not know that the opponent would attack him the instant he handed over the storage rings? Without waiting for Li Wuzhen to act, Mo Wuji extended his whirlpool domain first. The Half Moon Weighted Halberd swept up yet another halberd radiance. "You dare to attack?" Li Wuzhen wasn''t the one surprised because all the other cultivators around were equally shocked. Even if Mo Wuji was secretly a Heavenly God, was a Heavenly God comparable to a God Monarch? Why did a Heavenly God even initiate an attack on a God Monarch? Was he seeking death? Chapter 1015: Heavenly God Stage Chapter 1015: Heavenly God Stage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations In a fit of anger, Li Wuzhen charged towards Mo Wuji without using his magic treasure. He wanted to let Mo Wuji experience the vast difference between a Heavenly Mortal and a God Monarch. "Boom!" Just as Li Wuzhen acted, explosive lightning sounded in the void. Li Wuzhen instantly realised that the opponent was actually going to make use of the lightning bolts in his tribulation against him. While he had just been through his own God Monarch lightning tribulation, Li Wuzhen still had some lingering fears towards lightning tribulation. Subconsciously, he took out his own magic treasure, a fantasy god blade. Concurrently, he was prepared to retreat. Even though he was already a God Monarch now, he was really unwilling to get involved if Mo Wuji was going through his God Monarch''s tribulation. Why would Mo Wuji ever let his opponent slip off just like that? Just when he was about to attack, Li Wuzhen suddenly came to a halt as he looked at Mo Wuji in disbelief. "You are really a Nascent God? A Nascent God capable of getting rid of Gai Ji?" Presently, the clear laws of the Heavenly God lightning tribulation were captured by Li Wuzhen. This Nascent God cultivator in front of him was clearly going through his Heavenly God tribulation. This meant to say that Mo Wuji had never concealed his cultivation level and was truly a Nascent God. For a Nascent God to finish off Gai Ji, ranked number 6 Heavenly God of Nirvana Learning Academy, was simply too ridiculous to tell others. Li Wuzhen had already stepped into the God Monarch Stage. If he was afraid of a mere Heavenly God''s tribulation, he would have wasted the many years of cultivation. Li Wuzhen made a decision which he would never regret. Not only did he not retreat, he even ignited his fantasy god blade as he charged towards Mo Wuji. Even if the lightning bolts of the Heavenly God tribulation were to land on him, it wouldn''t even bother him. "Kacha!" After nine consecutive lightning bolts, Mo Wuji was basically ignoring the attacks from the lightning bolts. After his Half Moon Weighted Halberd was blocked off by Li Wuzhen''s fantasy god blade, he immediately struck out a few hand seals. The space transformed into two different colours: grey and white. A Yin and Yang wheel, which was not visible to the naked eye, was formed. Dense deathly energy spread and life forces were constantly being drawn away. What was this sacred art? Li Wuzhen felt an immense deathly energy. At that moment, his fantasy god blade had already broken through the halberd radiance and had clashed into Mo Wuji''s body. Mo Wuji''s Half Moon Weighted Halberd was effective against Li Wuzhen. When compared to Gai Ji, his halberd was evidently unable to destroy Li Wuzhen''s fantasy god blade radiance. The fantasy god blade radiance was defended by the Half Moon Weighted Halberd Radiance but the blade radiance was still able to leave a few deep blood scars on Mo Wuji''s body. If it wasn''t for Mo Wuji''s initiative to attack with his Half Moon Weighted Halberd first, it wouldn''t have blocked the majority of the fantasy god blade''s radiance. If it wasn''t for the timely descending of his lightning tribulation, even Mo Wuji''s Half Sage physique would have been split into two by this blade radiance. As compared to a God Monarch, he, as a Nascent God, was truly too weak. Even if he was the strongest Nascent God around, there was still a worldly difference between himself and a God Monarch. Li Wuzhen only managed to hurt Mo Wuji with this one blade. If they could go again, Li Wuzhen would definitely use his greatest sacred art in his first attack. Only if he did that, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have the chance to undergo his tribulation. However, they would certainly not be able to go again. After the nine lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji and Li Wuzhen''s body, Li Wuzhen''s physique would undoubtedly be many levels weaker than Mo Wuji. Moreover, Mo Wuji could even absorb the lightning essence to cultivate. On the other hand, Li Wuzhen could only defend the attacks of the lightning bolts passively. Only at this moment, Li Wuzhen finally realised why Mo Wuji would make use of the lightning tribulation to deal with him. How was this the Heavenly God''s tribulation? In fact, it was probably three times stronger than the God Monarch''s lightning tribulation. When the second wave of lightning bolts landed, Li Wuzhen was truly dumbfounded. All 18 of the lightning bolts which descended brought along a sure-kill deathly energy. This sh*t was certainly not a tribulation to become a Heavenly God. Even a God Monarch undergoing his tribulation to become a World God wouldn''t be this frightening too right? It was already too late to regret his actions. Now, all he wanted to do was to defend against these thick lightning bolts before escaping fast and far. This fella in front of him was certainly mental. To think that his lightning tribulation would be this frightening and he would actually casually disregard it to form his hand seals. While Li Wuzhen was struggling to even cope with the attacks of the lightning bolts, Mo Wuji''s cultivation level was constantly on the rise. Currently, Mo Wuji only wanted to step into the Heavenly God Stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, he could lose his life in his tribulation too. "Boom boom boom boom!" The third wave of tribulation consisted of 36 thick and rough lightning bolts. This was when Li Wuzhen no longer had the thought of retreating. Under attacks of such lightning tribulations, how was he supposed to escape once he was trapped in it? At this instant, surviving this tribulation would be a miracle, let alone kill Mo Wuji. "Pft!" Mo Wuji''s body was also bleeding profusely. Despite having his Half Sage physique as well as his ability to absorb the lightning essence, he was barely surviving. Fortunately, every lightning bolt that fell on him increased his strength by one more level. Additionally, the primal god spiritual energy here allowed him to make full and effective use of his 108 meridians'' circulation. The vitality channel also ensured that his chances of survival were much greater than Li Wuzhen. As compared to Mo Wuji''s increasing strength, every lightning bolt which landed on Li Wuzhen caused him to be even more dispirited. Regret would do him no good so his mind was only focused as to how to survive. While he had yet to finish the third wave, the fourth wave of 48 thick lightning bolts had already descended. What kind of lightning tribulation was this? Has this fella offended the lightning god? Otherwise, why would there be such frightening lightning tribulations? Li Wuzhen looked helplessly at the closely packed lightning bolts. He knew that even though he had just stepped into the God Monarch Stage, he was about to die in this tribulation. Perhaps he was the only person in the world who had survived the God Monarch tribulation but died in a Heavenly God tribulation. Mo Wuji was circulating all 108 meridians wildly. Even though his fleshly body was entirely ripped apart by the lightning bolts, he was still absorbing god spiritual energy with all his might to further increase his strength. "Kacha!" The moment the fourth wave of lightning bolts descended, the shackles of the heavenly chasm were broken by Mo Wuji. Endless god spiritual energy surged through as everything was turned into god elemental energy. The instant he stepped into the Heavenly God Stage, Mo Wuji was finally able to circulate his physique tempering technique. "Boom!" Just when Mo Wuji was circulating his physique tempering technique, an exceedingly pure energy was extracted from the primal energy as it moisturised Mo Wuji''s bones and fleshly body. Mo Wuji''s broken bones were instantaneously recovered and the torn flesh had all returned to its original state. Mo Wuji let out a long sigh and had completely forgotten about Li Wuzhen who was still struggling with the lightning bolts. He didn''t expect that he was actually able to step into the Sage Physique at the same time when he entered the Heavenly God Stage. The truth was that while Mo Wuji was still tempering his physique, he didn''t expect to advance into the Sage Physique in a place like God Domain or God Continent. The laws here were not complete and even advancing into the Unity God Stage would be so incredibly difficult. How was he supposed to expect to enter the Sage Physique Stage? Not only did the god spiritual energy here contain primal energy, it also contained heaven-splitting laws of the Heaven and Earth. Those laws were the clearest he had ever seen. Under such laws, he had advanced into the Sage Physique Stage. This was definitely a great fortune for him. After the fourth wave of lightning tribulation, Li Wuzhen was only left with a few breaths of life. He had long given up on surviving looking at how terrifying the fourth wave of lightning was. The fifth and sixth waves would probably be something he could only watch in fear. To his surprise, the fifth wave was not even as strong as the third wave. Afterwards, the sixth and seventh wave fell¡­ It grew weaker and weaker and eventually, it ended. Was there still lightning tribulation which grew weaker after the subsequent wave? Regardless of whether it was possible, he had just witnessed one. Li Wuzhen struggled to crawl on his knees as he wanted to crawl out of this place. In his current state, he could only crawl if he wanted to escape. "Are you still trying to leave?" Mo Wuji appeared right in front of Li Wuzhen as a dark grey halberd suspended beside him. "Dao Friend, I''m sorry. I, Li Wuzhen, made a grave mistake earlier and I''m willing to hand over my storage ring for you to spare my life¡­" Li Wuzhen hurried to reply. As for using the Cultivators Embassy to oppress Mo Wuji, he had never even thought of doing that. This fella had even dared to kill Gai Ji of the Single Return God Sect so why would he care about the Cultivators Embassy? "Very good, I accept your apology." Mo Wuji nodded. Li Wuzhen heaved a huge sigh of relief because it was good as long as he managed to keep his life. Just when he was about to retrieve his storage ring, his forehead turned cold as his primordial spirit entered an endless dusk. He heard the very last sentence of his life. "I''ll take the storage ring myself so I won''t have to trouble you." After Mo Wuji used his lightning tribulation to get rid of Li Wuzhen to advance into the Heavenly God Stage, all the spectators were speechless. Nobody thought that Mo Wuji was only advancing to become a Heavenly God. Almost every single one of them believed that Mo Wuji was undergoing his God Monarch tribulation and had advanced to become a God Monarch. Otherwise, what kind of lightning tribulation was this? They weren''t God Monarchs and also didn''t enter the boundary of Mo Wuji''s lightning tribulation so they couldn''t sense the Laws of Heaven and Earth from the tribulation. At this moment, Mo Wuji killed Li Wuzhen and when he looked back at everyone else, everyone turned away and continued their cultivation. At least they realised that this expert wouldn''t take the initiative to attack them unless they provoked or step into his territory. After staring at the crowd, Mo Wuji took out a bunch of array flags once more. He fixed his killing array to continue stabilising his cultivation. He had just stepped into the Heavenly God Stage and there were many laws which had not stabilised. His Mortal World had also expanded up to a radius of 5000 kilometres. If his cultivation hadn''t stabilised soon, his Mortal Dao might be unstable too. Chapter 1016: The Strong Feeds On The Weak Chapter 1016: The Strong Feeds On The Weak Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The amount of Heaven and Earth elemental energy needed for the Heavenly God Realm was immense. Despite Mo Wuji''s frightening rate of absorption of the god spiritual energy, coupled with the peak grade primal god energy here, his cultivation level wasn''t increasing rapidly. Instead, it was on a stable increase while his strength was increasing exponentially. Even so, Mo Wuji wasn''t worried because he knew cultivation was a long and arduous process. He couldn''t ask for much more knowing that his rate of absorbing god spiritual energy was already much faster than others. He also knew that it would be impossible to further increase his speed unless he had a grand array to speed up time. The Mortal Dao required mighty elemental energy from the Heaven and Earth for its foundation. If it wasn''t for his 108 meridians and the Mortal World formed by his World Channel, his speed might be a million folds slower. In a blink of an eye, seven months had passed by and Mo Wuji was already in the Great Circle of the Heavenly Mortal Level 1. Mo Wuji sensed that the primal god spiritual energy in the surrounding was starting to become weaker. This was when he knew that this place would only be suitable for cultivation for a few more days. At this moment, Mo Wuji increased his speed of absorbing the primal god spiritual energy. He wanted to step into the Heavenly God Level 2 before leaving this place. Such opportunities wouldn''t come often because he might need over a hundred years just to cultivate from Heavenly God Level 1 to Level 2 in any other places. Even a hundred years would be considered fast for the ordinary cultivators. "Kacha!" When Mo Wuji broke past the shackles and stepped into the Heavenly God Level 2, another series of thunder could be heard. Yet another cultivator in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage was undergoing his tribulation. This time around, it was a tall man with shoulder-length hair. Looking at his menacing aura, he seemed slightly stronger than Li Wuzhen, whom he had just killed. A few of the slightly weaker cultivators retreated because the god spiritual energy here was depleting anyway. They were worried that once this Heavenly God stepped into the God Monarch Stage, he would snatch all of their resource tokens. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered because the primal god spiritual energy had yet to be completely depleted. He had just advanced into the Heavenly God Level 2 so he needed to stabilise his cultivation. A day later, Mo Wuji stabilised his cultivation level while the god spiritual energy was also completely exhausted. Even those smaller primal beehives had all disappeared. Mo Wuji dusted himself as he stood up satisfyingly. Managing to obtain the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo was already a great fortune collected and he actually managed to find primal god spiritual energy here too. Not only was he able to step into the Heavenly God Stage, he was also able to cultivate to reach the Heavenly God Level 2. Presently, the entire place had no other cultivators around except for Mo Wuji and the man with the shoulder-length hair. He had personally witnessed how Mo Wuji killed Gai Ji and the new God Monarch, Li Wuzhen, and he was most worried that Mo Wuji would act against him suddenly. Mo Wuji had no intention on attacking this man so Wuji merely nodded towards him before leaving. This man finally heaved a sigh of relief after watching Mo Wuji leave. Until this moment, he realised that Mo Wuji had left a fear in his heart even without trying. Despite knowing this, he could only shake his head helplessly. After leaving, the first thing Mo Wuji did was to find a quiet place as he took out Gai Ji''s and Li Wuzhen''s storage rings. Even though Mo Wuji cultivated for over seven to eight months on top of the beehive, he knew that most of the resource tablets would have been taken away by others. From now on, obtaining resource tablets would only be possible through fights with others. Therefore, he was full of anticipation to see what Gai Ji and Li Wuzhen had on them. As Mo Wuji opened Gai Ji''s storage ring, the number of resource tablets didn''t disappoint Mo Wuji. There were a total of 731 resource tablets in it. Li Wuzhen had much lesser at 172 resource tablets. Evidently, these two fellas must have killed quite a number of people to obtain this much resource tablets. In addition to his own collection of resource tablets, Mo Wuji had a total of 2004 resource tablets on him now. The first assessment of Nirvana Learning Academy''s fight for resources was coming to an end. Even as Mo Wuji extended the spiritual will of his spirit storage channel, he wasn''t able to find a single resource tablet over the next few days. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to look for any more resource tablets because he knew that most of it would have been swept clean already. Presently, he was entirely focused on looking for all sorts of minerals used for forging equipment. There was still a few days before the end, and on this day, Mo Wuji was purifying a Point Star Iron. His spiritual will suddenly sensed a few bodies flashing by and they seemed to be heading towards the same direction. Could it be yet another primal god energy? Before Mo Wuji could figure it out, his spiritual will sensed Bai Yue with another cultivator as they darted towards the same direction. This time, Mo Wuji didn''t hesitate as he instantly left the Point Star Iron alone as he followed suit. Four hours later, Mo Wuji came to a halt. He saw a large crowd of people but this was definitely not a place with dense god spiritual energy. This place was actually a place to fight for resources. Presently, the large crowd of people gathered here only had one motive. That was to redistribute the resource tablets. In the middle of the crowd of people was a space which looked similar to a plaza. What made Mo Wuji curious was that in that space was an erected stone. On top of the stone was at least over 3-4 thousand resource tablets. Five people were standing at the periphery of this erected stone. Near the stone was a battlestage which was protected by a defensive array. Blood stained all across the battlestage and who knew how many people had died there? Among the five people standing near the erected stone was a short man in a brown robe. He walked out as he clasped his fists towards the battlestage. "There are already 3,900 resource tablets here and this battle is mine, Ha Liang''s. Anyone can choose to challenge me and you will get the number of resource tablets you bet if you win." "I, Jin Tao, bet 2000 resource tablets!" A well-built expert in the Heavenly God Level 9 shouted as he stepped onto the stage. At the instance Jin Tao stepped onto the stage, he threw 20 resource tablets onto that stone. Currently, the total number of resource tablets on that stone was 3,920. Mo Wuji seemed to understand the rules here. Everyone here could challenge the five people surrounding the stone. Moreover, you only need to hand over one resource tablet to bet for 100 resource tablets. This cultivator called Jin Tao took out 20 resource tablets from his own pocket so if he were to win Ha Liang, he would be rewarded with 2000 resource tablets. This idea must have originated from those five fellas surrounding the stone. These five fellas must not be simple figures since they dared to challenge so many experts openly. Mo Wuji spotted Bai Yue but didn''t go over to greet him. Even though everyone could guess that he was Mo Wuji after leaving this place, Mo Wuji still didn''t wish to reveal his identity so early on. Guessing and recognising were two very different matters. "Ha Liang was ranked number 7 among the ten great Heavenly Gods. I''m afraid Jin Tao wouldn''t be a match for him," Someone in the crowd started discussing. "It doesn''t matter even if he isn''t a match for Ha Liang. Given Jin Tao''s strength, keeping his own life shouldn''t be a problem. 20 resource tablets wouldn''t even mean much. What if Jin Tao won? There were a large number of cultivation holylands in this secret realm so who knows if Jin Tao obtained some sort of miracle treasure¡­" As the discussion continued, Jin Tao and Ha Liang had already started fighting. Mo Wuji was already in the Heavenly God Level 2 so he could clearly tell that Jin Tao was not a match for Ha Liang. There were also vast differences between their sacred arts. Ha Liang''s sacred art had touched the true Laws of the Heaven and Earth just like Gai Ji''s sacred arts did. Jin Tao''s sacred art was merely imitating the Laws of the Heaven and Earth of others. Indeed, in just half an incense worth of time, Jin Tao''s head was split apart by Ha Liang and even his primordial spirit didn''t make it out. Jin Tao''s storage ring was instantly kept by Ha Liang. Even before his corpse touched the ground, a flame had turned Jin Tao''s body into ashes. Mo Wuji sighed. The strong really feed on the weak. Ha Liang didn''t step down from the stage as someone else wanted to challenge him. This time, it was a skinny man in the Heavenly God Level 9. What made Mo Wuji astonished was how this Heavenly God Level 9 expert wasn''t much weaker than Ha Liang. After battling for over 2 hours, Ha Liang merely defeated his opponent. However, it was impossible for him to kill off his opponent. After this battle, Ha Liang had also stepped down from the battlestage. The person who stepped onto the stage was a scholar looking man as he clasped his fist. "Ju Shen is here for experience. Against me, one resource tablet could win 200 resource tablets and the minimum bet is 10 resource tablets." "Who is this Ju Shen?" Mo Wuji asked the cultivator beside him. This cultivator looked suspiciously at Mo Wuji as he sized him up with his eyes before replying, "Ju Shen was ranked number one among the ten great Heavenly Gods in Nirvana Learning Academy. How can you not know him?" Mo Wuji simply smiled and replied, "I''m just kidding." This cultivator sneered at Mo Wuji as he couldn''t be bothered with Mo Wuji''s joke. Even though Ju Shen''s offer was a ratio of 1:20 resource tablets, nobody went up even after a long period of time. This made Ju Shen very helpless because everytime he stood up, he was merely giving his companions some rest time. There was no need for him to fight because there was simply too little cultivators willing to fight him. Up till now, he had only fought in 7 battles. Just when everyone thought that nobody was willing to go on stage, a calm voice sounded, "Let me experience your sacred art." Following which, a tall man with shoulder-length hair landed on the battlestage. It was almost as if he took only one step to enter from outside onto the stage. A mighty aura extended outwards and almost everyone was shocked. How could there be a God Monarch expert here? How was this an aura belonging to a Heavenly God? "You''ve already stepped into the God Monarch Stage?" Jushen''s expression changed because he knew of the vast difference in strength between a Heavenly God and God Monarch. At the very least, he had never heard of any Heavenly God capable of beating a God Monarch. Gai Ji''s boasting of himself killing a revered God Monarch was only because his opponent was only half a step into the God Monarch Stage, who was still considered to be in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage. No matter how close he was to breaking past the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage, he was still in the Heavenly God Stage. Chapter 1017: Let Me Try Chapter 1017: Let Me Try Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "That''s right, I''m God Monarch Pu Peng from the Big Dipper God Path so please start your attack." The tall man with shoulder length hair spoke as his mighty God Monarch''s aura swept outwards. In that instant, the defensive array of this temporary battlestage started to crack. "Since this is the case, Ju Shen shall learn from you." Even though the other party was a God Monarch, Ju Shen was still the number one Heavenly God of Nirvana Learning Academy. Naturally, he wouldn''t back down like a coward. Seeing that Ju Shen was really going to fight a real God Monarch, all the spectators grew interested. Ju Shen was ranked number one among the Heavenly Gods so if he could defeat a God Monarch, it would be a great motivation for all the Heavenly Gods around. The space around the battle stage seemed to have been ripped as Ju Shen''s massive banner turned into flaming hot energy. Cultivators located nearer to the battlestage moved away rapidly. Pu Peng''s explosive domain surged over and just like everyone''s guess, Ju Shen might be impressive but he was still only a Heavenly God. His domain was destroyed by Pu Peng''s domain and Ju Shen turned pale immediately. "Kacha!" The battlestage let out a cracking sound as it turned into nothingness in split seconds. Ju Shen and Pu Peng both landed on the ground. Ju Shen''s flaming hot banner had now wrapped around himself to protect his own body. Ju Shen didn''t continue to attack as he clasped his fist. "Dao Friend Pu, I am not a match for you. Even so, among the 4000 resource tablets, I own 1000 of them so I do wish to take back 1000 of my resource tablets." Pu Peng clasped his fist emotionlessly. "Alright." Only Mo Wuji could see clearly. Even though Pu Peng had oppressed Ju Shen, Ju Shen should still be capable of fighting back. Evidently, Pu Peng was aware of this point as well. This was why he allowed Pu Peng to take back 1000 of his resource tablets. If he chose not to agree, both parties might suffer great injuries. After Ju Shen backed out, Pu Peng''s domain was still extending outwards wildly. His aura as a God Monarch had reached the maximum. "If nobody else wants to challenge, I am going to collect all the resource tablets belonging to me." Pu Peng said with a vicious tone. Ju Shen had just lost so who would dare to challenge? Everyone was well aware that even ranked number 2 of the ten great Heavenly Gods was multiple folds weaker than Ju Shen. Ju Shen might be able to keep his life against Pu Peng but the Heavenly God ranked number 2 might not be able to do the same. "Let me try," a hoarse voice was heard and Mo Wuji walked calmly out of the crowd. Pu Peng''s expression changed drastically even though he had already spotted Mo Wuji before this. Even after leaving the location with the primal god spiritual energy, he also suspected that Mo Wuji wasn''t a God Monarch. Mo Wuji was able to kill Li Wuzhen because of his mighty lightning tribulation. As he thought about it, if Mo Wuji wasn''t undergoing his God Monarch tribulation, how was his tribulation, alone, able to kill Li Wuzhen? The only possible explanation was that Mo Wuji''s lightning tribulation became stronger because Li Wuzhen entered. However, even this explanation seemed a little implausible. The point was that Mo Wuji remained unharmed throughout the entire lightning tribulation. The reason why Pu Peng didn''t take away the resource tablets immediately after defeating Ju Shen was that he wanted to see if Mo Wuji would step forward. If Mo Wuji didn''t dare to come out, that would prove that Mo Wuji really wasn''t a God Monarch and that his tribulation''s success was probably due to some treasure. If Mo Wuji dared to step forward, it would mean that regardless whether Mo Wuji was truly a God Monarch, Mo Wuji didn''t fear him at all. The entire crowd was dumbfounded. Knowing that Pu Peng was a God Monarch, who would still dare to challenge him? How strong was Ju Shen? Even Ju Shen admitted defeat to Pu Peng. Who was this ignorant fella? Was he not afraid of death? Ju Shen and the four other Heavenly Gods, who were ranked in the top 10, were equally as shocked. Who was this person? Mo Wuji didn''t take out any resource tablets to place his bets as he spoke, "Dao Friend Pu Peng, I shall not take out any tablets because you should know that I have quite a number of resource tablets on me. As long as you win me, my storage ring will be yours." A simple sentence like this made Pu Peng even more astonished. Mo Wuji''s killing of Gai Ji and Li Wuzhen was still fresh in Pu Peng''s mind so he still had a sort of fear towards Mo Wuji. Now that Mo Wuji said something like this, it would mean that both of them would be fighting to their death. The items of the person who dies will belong to the survivor. He had just stepped into the God Monarch Stage so he really didn''t want to end up like Li Wuzhen. At this moment, a clear voice sounded in the void. "The first assessment of Nirvana Learning Academy''s fight for resources has ended. May I invite all disciples to prepare and everyone would be transferred out of here in an incense''s time." Following that, faint light radiance landed far away from everyone. An indistinct transfer array was gradually being built. Pu Peng never intended to fight Mo Wuji so he took advantage of the announcement. "Dao Friend, since the time is almost up, let''s just divide these resource tablets among the two of us." Despite Pu Peng not abiding by the rules set by Ju Shen and co. previously, nobody dared to comment. A God Monarch was capable of killing any single one of them here. Mo Wuji nodded, "That works but this number would be hard to divide. Let me take away my portion first." As he spoke, Mo Wuji''s sweep of his hand took away more than half of the remaining 2,900 resource tablets. Pu Peng''s expression turned ugly as Mo Wuji took away 2000 resource tablets in one go. Just as he was about to comment, Mo Wuji laughed. "Dao Friend Pu was so generous to give away 1000 resource tablets but I am not that generous." Pu Peng understood what Mo Wuji meant. This fella was actually making him pay for his generosity of allowing Ju Shen to take away 1000 of his resource tablets. However, even so, he should still receive more than 920 resource tablets, right? However, Mo Wuji had already turned and left. Pu Peng knew that if he dared to hold Mo Wuji back, he might have to fight Mo Wuji eventually. Given how decisively Mo Wuji managed to kill Gai Ji and Li Wuzhen, coupled with the time left in this place, Mo Wuji would probably not show him any mercy. Seeing that Mo Wuji had taken away most of the resource tablets, Pu Peng didn''t dare to say anything as he kept his share of the resource tablets obediently. All the spectators exchanged confused glances at each other as none of them knew what was going on. Why would a God Monarch be fearful of a Heavenly God cultivator? Could this fella be even stronger than Ju Shen? Mo Wuji walked away, feeling satisfied with himself. In just that moment, he managed to obtain another 2000 resource tablets just like that. Now that he had over 4000 resource tablets on him, obtaining first place shouldn''t be a problem. As the transfer array formed up, Mo Wuji had already regained his original appearance as he followed everyone towards the transfer array. "Wuji!" Bai Yue spotted Mo Wuji as he hurried over elatedly, "Seeing that you''re okay, I''m just so happy!" Bai Yue was truly very happy. There were at least 20,000 people who came in and only about 15,000 people came out. Evidently, around 5000 cultivators had fallen in that incomplete planet. "Your rewards should be decent right?" Mo Wuji smiled as he noticed that Bai Yue was already in the Heavenly God Level 2. Clearly, he had obtained some decent rewards or treasures. While speaking, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will sensed Wan Ru. This woman had turned back into her gentle and kind self as she followed behind her sister, Wan Xi. As compared to Wan Xi, Wan Ru was much more beautiful. Even so, Mo Wuji looked at Wan Ru with a certain disgust. Gai Ji was killed by him but otherwise, that fella would have died in the hands of this woman named Wan Ru. Fei Yidao, who was ranked higher than Gai Ji among the Heavenly Gods of Nirvana Learning Academy, was also killed by her. Mo Wuji knew that if he were to shout out loud that Fei Yidao was killed by Wan Ru, nobody would believe him. Wan Ru''s arrival was instantly followed by the greetings of a few good looking cultivators. Even ranked number one, Ju Shen, walked over to exchange a few nice sentences with her. "Transfer is available now," as the transfer array was formed up completely, cultivators swarmed into it. Despite not using his sea of consciousness'' spiritual will, his spirit storage channel could sense that Wan Ru was approaching him. Without waiting for Wan Ru to be any closer, Mo Wuji grabbed onto Bai Yue as he said. "Bai Yue, let''s go." "Alright," Bai Yue had long intended to leave this place. His rewards were not bad and had experienced a few near-deaths already. He was almost killed by a person''s ambush on him previously. If it wasn''t for his vast experience as a rogue cultivator, he would have perished in this place. Towards this resource tablet secret realm, Bai Yue was not very fond of staying long. As Mo Wuji and Bai Yue entered the transfer array, they disappeared instantaneously. Wan Ru, who was walking towards Mo Wuji, was slightly shocked. She was certain that Mo Wuji didn''t use his spiritual will to detect her. In other words, Mo Wuji had left unintentionally when she approached him. Honestly, Wan Ru approached Mo Wuji not because she thought that Mo Wuji was the one who snatched the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo away. It was because she was overly cautious, anyone who was there could be a suspect. Therefore, she wanted to make use of the Bubbled Primordial God Pill incident to speak and test Mo Wuji out. As for the other cultivators, she would investigate on them later on. ¡­ In less than two hours, all the disciples who took part in the first assessment of Nirvana Learning Academy had been transferred back to Nirvana Learning Stage. The first thing Mo Wuji saw was the God King in a yellow robe. Just as Mo Wuji was looking at this yellow robe God King, the yellow robe God King looked back at him. He couldn''t believe that Mo Wuji actually managed to make it out alive. According to his logic, it would be strange if someone could make it out alive after being marked by Gai Ji. When all the disciples were transferred back to Nirvana Learning Stage, the yellow robe God King''s expression turned ugly. Mo Wuji made it out alive but Gai Ji was nowhere to be seen. Evidently, Gai Ji had perished in the secret realm. Gai Ji was not the only one who had perished because only about 14,000 to 15,000, out of the 20,000 disciples who went in, had made it back out. Chapter 1018: Big Incident In The God Domain Chapter 1018: Big Incident In The God Domain Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Even though the yellow robe God King didn''t reveal any clear killing intent, Mo Wuji''s entire body felt uncomfortable. It seemed like he needed to be extra cautious from now on. While everyone was waiting for the yellow robe God King to speak, yet another grey silhouette landed on the Nirvana Learning Stage. Yet another God King but Mo Wuji felt more comfortable looking at this grey robe God King as compared to the yellow robe God King. The grey robe God King clasped his fists towards the yellow robe God King before anything else. Following that, he nodded towards all the disciples present, "Initially, I am the one to supervise the second round of the fight for resources. However, because of a problem that arose during the first round in addition to the completion of Nirvana Ocean''s transfer array as well as another abrupt problem, the second assessment would be converted into the sect''s assignments. The resource allocation would go according to the result of the first round of assessment. Anyone with questions can raise it now." Hearing that the second round of assessments was turned into sect''s assignments, his heart was in mad glee. In the first round, he managed to obtain 4000 resource tablets so this should be enough to obtain the first place right? An expert in the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage with sparse hair stood up as he bowed respectfully, "May we know why the second round of assessment was cancelled? If this was really the case, wouldn''t it be unfair to all the disciples who participated?" The grey robe God King was not angry as he explained calmly, "In the first round, we placed everyone on the planet with incomplete laws. The truth was that no one had ever been there before while a few of the Unity Gods of Nirvana Learning Academy placed all the resource tablets there using Array Dao. Therefore, we are completely unaware of the treasures which could exist in this incomplete planet." The grey robe God King paused for a while before looking at the cultivator who asked the question, "However, this incomplete planet was actually of a unique origin and there was actually the existence of four locations with primal god spiritual energy. These four locations were even protected by natural defensive arrays. If it wasn''t for the incomplete laws of this planet, everyone here wouldn''t have spotted those locations¡­" Hearing these words, all the cultivators, who didn''t come across the primal god spiritual energy, took in a deep breath of cold air simultaneously. Mo Wuji was even more astonished than everyone else. Initially, he believed that it was already an unbelievable fate that he managed to cultivate in a place with primal god spiritual energy. He didn''t expect that there were actually four of such locations. The grey robe God King didn''t bother about everyone''s astonishment as he continued, "The four locations with the primal god spiritual energy have produced at least one Xiantian treasure. As for who managed to obtain that Xiantian treasure, it is that disciple''s matter and Nirvana Learning Academy wouldn''t probe further into that." Mo Wuji was still shocked at how he wasn''t the only one with opportunity and fate. Others might be even more fortunate than himself. He had obtained the Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo but who knows if others had obtained a treasure more valuable than his Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo? "Originally, the second assessment would be at Nirvana Learning Academy''s Battle Tower and everyone should be aware that the battle tower had 49 levels. Initially, this wasn''t a problem however during the first round, at least 6 disciples managed to step into the God Monarch Stage because of the planet we chose¡­" When he heard this, Mo Wuji''s heart jumped. He thought that Li Wuzhen and Pu Peng were the only two who had advanced into the God Monarch Stage. He certainly didn''t expect anyone else to have stepped into the God Monarch Stage, let alone 6 cultivators. Moreover, these 6 cultivators would definitely not include Li Wuzhen, whom he had killed. Mo Wuji wasn''t the only one shocked because the crowd of disciples were equally or even more dumbfounded by what they had heard. With that many God Monarchs around, why would they bother fighting? Clearly, the grey robe God King expected this reaction from the crowd as he continued, "Out of the emergence of 6 God Monarchs, one of them even managed to step into the God Monarch Level 2. I believe none of you would be willing to fight a God Monarch Level 2 expert in the battle tower right?" This time, everyone fell silent because only an idiot would want to fight a God Monarch Level 2 expert in the battle tower. Even Mo Wuji wouldn''t be willing to fight a God Monarch who had stabilised his cultivation, let alone a God Monarch Level 2 expert. Who would dare to suggest that the six God Monarchs back out of the fight for resources now? Why should they back out? When they entered the fight, they were also in the Heavenly God Stage and being able to advance into the God Monarch Stage was simply a reward for their own abilitiy and luck. Noticing that nobody stood out to say anything, the grey robe God King continued, "A slight mistake was made when choosing the location for the first round and this led to the cancellation of the second round. Concurrently, because the installation of the Nirvana Ocean transfer array had been completed, we will be converting the second assessment into assignments. Those who complete the assignments well would also be rewarded with the large number of cultivation resources from Nirvana Learning Academy. Moreover, this assignment is a long-term assignment which would not be discontinued in any situation." "What assignment?" Someone asked in a low voice. The grey robe God King replied, "This assignment would be open to the entire God Continent. Other than disciples who had been fighting for resource tablets, everyone else had already known of this matter. Therefore, let me explain the next assignment to everyone. Everyone should know that crossing the Nirvana Ocean would lead you to God Domain. In terms of cultivation resources, our God Continent couldn''t be compared to God Domain." Mo Wuji agreed to this point in his heart. The reason why God Domain didn''t have as many God Kings or even a single Unity God was not because of the lack of cultivation resources. It was because the Laws of the Heaven and Earth were not as complete as God Continent. "Maybe many of you wouldn''t understand the meaning of my words. Logically speaking, our God Continent has the Green Dew Rice and even so many secret realms with god spiritual herbs. How could we be not comparable to God Domain? However, this was indeed the truth. It was because God Domain had something our God Continent didn''t have. That was the newly incubated God Domain Nest¡­" The grey robe God King paused as the majority of the crowd looked doubtfully at him. Everyone in God Domain knew of God Domain Nest but only a minute few in God Continent had heard of it. It was just like how people of God Domain had no clue what was a Green Dew Rice. The grey robe God King''s tone turned serious, "Beyond God Domain was an endless and inaccessible void which had much more complete laws than our God Continent. Many of you might want to ask why were there not as many God Kings or Unity Gods even with such a complete void. That was because these inaccessible voids were concealed new domains. These domains were addressed as God Domain Nest and before it was incubated, these areas were basically inaccessible. People were only able to head in after such places underwent incubation. The newly incubated area would combine with the existing God Domain to form a bigger land. The laws within these newly incubated domains were extremely clear. It even contained all sorts of priceless treasures there. The pity was that while these treasures wouldn''t change, the clear laws would disappear after a short period of time. Because of this, the God Kings of God Domain wouldn''t be able to make use of the newly incubated God Domain Nest to advance. However, the majority of the cultivators there would be able to enter the newly incubated God Domain Nest. They could look for all sorts of treasures or opportunities within it. Moreover, after some time, the newly incubated God Domain Nest would incubate out a large¡­" Upon hearing this, everyone else except Mo Wuji revealed an expression of anticipation. Who wouldn''t be interested in heading to such a place? In fact, some people were already thinking how they could make use of the transfer array to enter God Domain. Following which, they could obtain a large number of treasures before heading back to God Continent to become a God King or even Unity God¡­ However, the grey robe God King said in a solemn tone, "Of course, there are both advantages and disadvantages to everything in this world. Initially, the time before the next incubation would usually be extremely long. Recently, the time between incubations had become much shorter than before. In the most recent incubation, God Domain had finally come into contact with New World Domain¡­" Mo Wuji was inwardly astonished. When he left, the God Domain Nest had just undergone incubation. Who would have expected that it would continue to incubate a few more times so soon after? As for New World Domain, Mo Wuji had heard of it before and it seemed like the God Kings of God Domains were not just idiots who knew nothing. "Does everyone think that God Domain coming into contact with New World Domain is a happy occasion?" The grey robe God King continued in a faint voice, "If everyone does think that way, I''m telling you that you''re wrong. New World Domain was full of cultivators addicted to killing. After those cultivators met cultivators from God Domain, they went on to massacre every one of the cultivators in God Domain without reasoning¡­" When he heard this, Mo Wuji was instantly worried about Ku Cai. He had yet to find Ku Cai and she should still be hiding in God Domain to cultivate. The grey robe God King''s tone became even more serious than before, "If it wasn''t for the timely completion of our transfer array to God Domain, God Domain would have been killed with only corpses left. It would have been taken over by foreign barbaric cultivators. Because God Domain didn''t have a single Unity God expert, our Nirvana Learning Academy had sent a few of our Unity Gods over. We also managed to help God Domain install a Grade 7 defensive array and managed to barely block off those barbaric invasions." After a huge sigh, the grey robe God King continued, "God Domain and God Continent were originally one piece of land. If the barbaric cultivators managed to invade God Domain, they would be able to obtain better cultivation locations. That way, our God Continent would be exterminated sooner or later. Because the fight between God Domain and barbaric cultivators was still going on, this became God Continent and God Domain''s biggest assignment. Anyone could go ahead to take on this assignment to kill these barbaric cultivators. The nirvana points and cultivation resources rewarded are very attractive." Hearing the words of this grey robe God King, all the disciples started discussing among themselves. Mo Wuji was even more speechless. Even though he really wanted to take on the assignment, he remembered the few God Kings which he offended in God Domain. Because of that, he would rather cultivate obediently in Nirvana Learning Academy. After everyone stopped their brief discussions, the grey robe God King spoke again, "I''ve only informed everyone of the assignment to kill the barbaric cultivators and why the second round of assessment was cancelled. Now, let me find out the result of this first round of assessment. My Nirvana Learning Academy''s identity token is capable of transferring items. May I invite all disciples who took part in the first round use their own identity token to transfer all the resource tablets you''ve obtained over?" Chapter 1019: The Assignment That Fell From The Void Chapter 1019: The Assignment That Fell From The Void Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Wuji, let''s put our resource tablets together? I have a total of 27 resource tablets," Bai Yue spoke in a low voice as he handed Mo Wuji his resource tablets. Mo Wuji was truly impressed by Bai Yue. He was merely in the Heavenly God Level 2 and managed to obtain 27 resource tablets. It was no wonder he was ranked number 4 in Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. Mo Wuji didn''t reject Bai Yue''s offer. If everyone didn''t combine their resource tablets, Mo Wuji was certain that he could attain the first place. Now that everyone gathered their resource tablets with one another, Mo Wuji was no longer certain if he could attain first place. Looking at the attitude of Nirvana Learning Academy, it was clearly encouraging people to gather their resource tablets. In addition to Bai Yue''s resource tablets, Mo Wuji had a total of 4,031 resource tablets. He ignited his own identity token''s transfer whirlpool as he sent these resource tablets out. Looking at how Mo Wuji grabbed out piles of resource tablets to transfer it out, Bai Yue asked astonishingly, "Wuji, how many resource tablets did you actually obtain?" Mo Wuji chuckled and just as he was about to answer, he noticed Wan Ru walking over yet again. Because of Wan Ru''s arrival, Mo Wuji had no choice but to stop himself from replying. "Big Brother Wuji, Big Brother Bai Yue¡­" Wan Ru greeted with a slight bow. Even before her body was straightened again, a faint feminine fragrant could be smelt. Both Mo Wuji and Bai Yue were inwardly praising at how her single action could reveal her sweet-tempered and gentle self. "Previously, my sister''s attitude was indeed vile so I''ve been very guilty¡­" Without waiting for Wan Ru to finish her sentence, Mo Wuji shook her hand. "That matter is over and you''ve already apologise so we''ve come to a conclusion already." Mo Wuji was well aware that they mustn''t treat this woman as a sweet-tempered and gentle woman. "You know Wuji''s name?" Bai Yue, who was standing by the side, asked doubtfully. Mo Wuji laughed. "It seemed like Little Miss Wan Ru''s ears are very sharp. I''m sure that we were pretty far apart earlier." At this moment, Mo Wuji couldn''t even be bothered to conceal anything. Wan Ru''s motive of approaching him was clearly to test him. Anyway, when his attainment of 4000 resource tablets would be announced to everyone else, there was no need for him to waste his time with this woman. Wan Ru''s face turned slightly red. That expression of awkwardness made Bai Yue regret his words. Even he didn''t know how to respond to Wan Ru''s reaction. Coincidentally, the grey robe God King''s voice sounded, "Nirvana Learning Academy''s ranking for the fight for resources is out. Ranked number one is Mo Wuji from the Land of Mortals with a total number of 4,031 resource tablets¡­" When the ranking was announced, it was so silent that even breathing could be heard on Nirvana Learning Stage. Was this a mistake? The Land of Mortals only had that few people in it and they managed to obtain over 4000 resource tablets? Didn''t they say that the Land of Mortals only had two new cultivators who came over from the assessments? It has only been 11 years since Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment. How many levels of the Heavenly God Stage could someone advance in just 11 years? Was a Heavenly God that impressive? Even though not a lot of people knew Mo Wuji, the moment his name was announced, all the eyes fell on Mo Wuji and Bai Yue. It was okay if they didn''t know who Mo Wuji because the person everyone else was looking at must be Mo Wuji. Pu Peng''s first reaction was to look at Mo Wuji and Bai Yue from the Land of Mortals. Very soon, his eyes landed on Mo Wuji''s body as he was certain that Mo Wuji was the one who killed Li Wuzhen. If it wasn''t for the announcement, Pu Peng wouldn''t believe that Mo Wuji was someone who could kill an expert in the God Monarch Stage even if he saw him on the streets. Neither would he believe that Mo Wuji could kill a fella like Gai Ji so easily. "Big Brother Mo, you''ve received that many resource tablet?" Wan Ru also looked shockingly at Mo Wuji. She started to suspect that Mo Wuji might really be the one who snatched her Extreme Ice Heavenly Bamboo. It was only now that she finally knows Mo Wuji''s full name. Mo Wuji laughed as he gave a straightforward and honest answer, "My luck is slightly better because I saw two cultivators fight. Eventually, both of them perished so I merely took advantage of that situation." If Wan Ru didn''t know that such situation would never have occurred, she would even suspect whether Mo Wuji was speaking the truth. Bai Yue grabbed Mo Wuji''s arm excitedly, "Wuji, you actually obtain first place? Our Land of Mortals was actually first! Hahaha¡­" He knew that Mo Wuji obtained a large pile of resource tablets but had just found out the specific number of resource tablets. At the same time, everyone on Nirvana Learning Academy''s plaza who was concerned over the placing started making a lot of noise. A place like the Land of Mortals actually managed to attain first place? What was happening? A poverty-stricken land with two new Nascent God cultivators actually managed to attain first place? On the massive display screen in front of everyone, it was clearly written that the Land of Mortals was indeed ranked number one. Mo Wuji was the one awarded the first placing. Everyone''s attention turned to the Land of Mortals as nobody even bothered about the second place. Mo Wuji actually noticed that ranked number 2 was Ju Shen with 2,726 resource tablets. That fella was from the Star Concealing Mountain. As for the Star Concealing Mountain, Mo Wuji had heard of it on multiple occasions. Back during Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, the Star Concealing Mountain was ranked number 1. Back then it was the genius disciple, Ji Feiyan who attained first place and now, it was Ju Shen of the same Star Concealing Mountain. At this moment, Mo Wuji was feeling grateful that Ju Shen actually organised that mini contest to bet resource tablets. Otherwise, Mo Wuji would only be ranked number 2 or 3. Either way, being ranked number 2 or 3 would invite suspicion so he might as well attain the first placing. As the names were read out one after the other, Mo Wuji was no longer concerned. After the announcement of the rankings was done, he collected the various qualifications and resources before hurrying back to the Land of Mortals with Bai Yue. To him and Bai Yue, the most important thing they needed to do was to install a peak grade energy gathering array in the Land of Mortals. Mo Wuji was already a Grade 5 God Array King and with Bai Yue''s help, they managed to install a peak Grade 5 god energy gathering array in less than half a month. The dense god spiritual energy was swept towards the Land of Mortals. At this moment, regardless of how unhappy anyone else was, nobody would pinpoint or accuse the Land of Mortals for their energy gathering array. "Wuji, during the fight for resource this time around, I didn''t manage to cultivate with the primal god spiritual energy. My strength is simply too weak and now that the installation of our energy gathering array was done, I''ve decided to enter seclusion to cultivate here in our Land of Mortals. Also, you better not head out too. After killing Gai Ji and Li Wuzhen, the Single Return God Sect, as well as the Cultivators Embassy, would definitely find out about it. Cultivating here might not cause any trouble but the moment you stepped out, I''m afraid they might not let you off easily." Bai Yue was well aware of his own strength. Even though he wouldn''t be afraid of most cultivators in the same stage as himself, he still felt that his cultivation level was too low. Bai Yue had nothing much to say to Mo Wuji anymore. Being able to kill Gai Ji and the newly advanced Li Wuzhen, he could only say that he was glad Mo Wuji was from the Land of Mortals. "I know¡­" Mo Wuji was indeed intending to continue his secluded cultivation. Chi Chuan''s meridians were completely opened while a great half of his primordial spirit had been converted into primordial spirit of the Mortal Dao. Da Huang and Shuai Guo''s cultivation was also on a rapid increase so Mo Wuji intended to stay under secluded cultivation here. He wanted to reach the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage before heading out to find opportunities to enter the God Monarch Stage. Just as Mo Wuji muttered that out, a flying messenger sword landed in front of him. Mo Wuji grabbed the messenger sword as his expression turned ugly. "What is it?" Bai Yue hurried to ask. "One of the seniors in the academy require me to complete an assignment. This was something I''ve promised him since a long time ago. I''m afraid that I might need to leave the Land of Mortals for a while." Mo Wuji answered. The person requesting him to complete an assignment was that old fella who exposed his contact with the Breath of Hongmeng. This fella was a friend of Cang Zhengxing and was undoubtedly a peak grade expert of Nirvana Land. Hearing that Mo Wuji needed to head out, Bai Yue''s expression turned ugly as well. Wasn''t asking Mo Wuji to complete an assignment at a time like this sending him to death? Very soon, Mo Wuji managed to maintain his calmness. "Bai Yue, this senior is one of the few great experts of Nirvana Learning Academy so I doubt he will let me send myself to death. Moreover, I have no excuse to reject him so I will bring Shuai Guo and Da Huang with me. I shall hand this place to you and Chi Chuan. If I am not back for a long time, you can start recruiting some people into the Land of Mortals." Among the rewards which Mo Wuji was given for attaining first place was the rights to recruit disciples. In other words, he was currently in control of the Land of Mortals. Bai Yue was also feeling very helpless. He knew that he couldn''t help or intervene in this assignment so he replied, "Take good care of yourself. Chi Chuan and I will be in secluded cultivation so the recruitment of disciples can wait till you''re back." Even though Bai Yue was also a Tier 3 Pill God Master, Mo Wuji still left a few pills for Bai Yue before instructing, "Bai Yue, you must be extra careful with that woman called Wan Ru. She is not simple at all and managed to conceal her cultivation very well. Her true strength is capable of finishing you easily." "Wan Ru''s strength surpasses mine?" Bai Yue was indeed flabbergasted by Mo Wuji''s words. "Trust me, before you step into the God Monarch Stage, do not meet this woman alone. I''ll make my move first." Mo Wuji reminded him again before calling out for Shuai Guo and Da Huang. An expert who could be a Unity God had asked for him to complete an assignment. Mo Wuji would not have the opportunity to reject him. Fortunately, his Mortal World had a current radius of over 5000 kilometres and the laws were also much higher than Shuai Guo and Da Huang''s cultivation laws. Shuai Guo and Da Huang were still able to continue cultivating in his Mortal World and would be of an even greater speed. Mo Wuji concealed his body as he sped out of Mortal World. Even if he was going to meet that Unity God to receive the assignment, he mustn''t let the entire world know that he, Mo Wuji, had left the Land of Mortals. What Mo Wuji didn''t expect was that just as he stepped into the defensive array of the Land of Mortals, a mighty primordial spirit swept across to bring him away. After he landed on the floor, he was already standing outside a stone house. Seated on a stone chair at the side of the stone house was an elder with a head full of white hair. He seemed like he was about to die anytime soon. Mo Wuji was certain that this old fella wasn''t that simple. To be able to sit here and used his mighty primordial spirit to bring him in from the Land of Mortals here was definitely not someone simple could do. "Mo Wuji greets Senior. May I ask what instructions does Senior has for me?" Mo Wuji clasped his fists. Chapter 1020: Gods Continent’s Yu Clan Chapter 1020: Gods Continent¡¯s Yu Clan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "My name is Xing Mu." The white hair elder didn''t answer Mo Wuji''s question as he told Mo Wuji his name instead. Mo Wuji exclaimed in his heart at how appropriate his name was. [1] Xing Mu continued, "You should know what happened to the newly incubated God Domain Nest right?" Mo Wuji nodded cautiously, "Yes, I heard of it once I returned from the resource tablet planet." Xing Mu nodded as he asked, "What do you think of those barbaric cultivators which they''ve told you about? With such large scale assignments sent out by God Domain and God Continent, do you think the barbaric cultivators would dare to look down on our God World?" Even though Mo Wuji had no idea about such things, he pretended to have an opinion on this, "I believe that barbaric cultivators will remain as barbaric cultivators. Eventually, our God World will definitely emerge victorious." Xing Mu sneered, "Do you know what are we in their eyes?" Mo Wuji shook his head. Xing Mu said in a cold tone, "In their eyes, cultivators of God Domain and God Continent are the barbaric cultivators. They believed that they are the true Gods of the cultivation Dao." Mo Wuji was unconcerned because since everyone was against each other, they would definitely try their best to disparage the other party. Nobody would believe that they weren''t the original and that the other party was the original. Xing Mu replied faintly, "It seems like you''re in disapproval?" Even before waiting for Mo Wuji''s reply, Xing Mu continued, "In all honesty, their words are right because they are the true Gods of cultivation Dao. They were truly the race who had received the care and concern of the heavenly laws. Whether it was intelligence or physique, they had surpassed us. Because of their arrogance, any other race or being were being viewed as ant-like existence for them to kill as they wish." "Senior¡­" Hearing that Xing Mu mentioned how the other party was right, Mo Wuji instantly felt unhappy and uncomfortable. Just as he muttered one word, Xing Mu stopped him, "I know what you want to say but I''m not lying to you. Every cultivator in God World is indeed not comparable to them. Regardless of which aspect, we''re not comparable to them. I wonder if you have heard of a race called the Gods Race?" Gods Race? Mo Wuji''s heart was in a shock. How could he not know of the Gods Race? The Gods Race in the Cosmos Edge was destroyed under his leadership. Moreover, Gods Precipice Continent was also divided up and split among the various races. He recalled of the Gods Precipice Continent''s ancient curse runes. Back then, he was clueless about runes so he didn''t carve down any of that. Now that he thought about it, those curse runes seemed to bring along an energy of a void path. He wondered if that void path was the path leading towards the Gods Race. "That is the Gods Race?" Mo Wuji exclaimed. Xing Mu nodded his head, "It seems like you''ve heard of a race called the Gods Race. In all honesty, almost half of the techniques in God World are left behind by experts of the Gods Race. Therefore, from a certain angle, their words are not wrong. They were indeed the ones who possessed the most grandeur bloodline; the favourites in terms of cultivation Dao." Mo Wuji clasped his fist in reply. "Senior, they might be the favourites in terms of cultivation Dao but I disagree with the point that they have the most grandeur bloodline." Xing Mu wasn''t too concerned about Mo Wuji''s refute as he continued, "The Gods Race had always believed that they were the true Gods of God World. Any other cultivator or expert regardless of how they made it into God World should all be sacrificed and offered to them. The reason why I followed you closely was that of your innate skill in terms of Array Dao. Whether it was God Domain or God Continent, only Array Dao would be able to stop the Gods Race for the time being." "Senior, you want me to head to God Domain Nest to defend against the experts of the Gods Race?" Mo Wuji asked immediately. If this was the case, Mo Wuji would rather walk away. Unless he had a few God Kings protecting him, heading there would simply mean sending himself to die. Xing Mu laughed out loud, "I''m not that capable of looking into the future. When I asked you to do me a favour, God Domain and God Continent have yet to be linked up so how could I know of all these? Years ago, I owed someone a favour and the descendant of the person had brought over the favour token. He asked me to help him install a defensive array. I''m already such an old person so I''ve come to ask you to help me with this." So this was why Xing Mu came to find Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji understood why Xing Mu talked to him about the matter of the Gods Race earlier. Xing Mu was basically giving him a reward. Mo Wuji couldn''t help himself but despise Xing Mu. As compared to Cang Zhengxing, Xing Mu was so much more stingy. He requested Mo Wuji to help him return the favour he owed and in return, he provided Mo Wuji with some news as a reward. Mo Wuji had no interest in neither God Continent nor God Domain. If he didn''t like it here, he could simply just leave this place. "I am willing to help Senior return the favour. However, I have offended too many people. I''m afraid that once I leave Nirvana Learning Palace, some people would be chasing after me for my head," Mo Wuji spoke honestly. Xing Mu nodded, "People in your Land of Mortals are all very strong. Many years ago, Agriculture Emperor had also killed a few genius disciples but still managed to live well and even established the Land of Mortals." Mo Wuji sneered coldly in his heart. Live well? Why were there rumours spreading that the Agriculture Emperor was killed by others then? Xing Mu handed Mo Wuji two transfer array talismans. "This yellow transfer talisman will instantly bring you to somewhere near the periphery of Yu Clan. Yu Clan was the clan of my benefactor. The green talisman would transfer you to outside of Nirvana Dao City. I believe that after leaving Nirvana Learning Academy, you still have many tricks up your sleeves. Oh yes, this is a stamped token letter talisman. Hand this to any member of Yu Clan and they will know what to do. That''s all, you can head off now." As he spoke, Xing Mu took out a stamped token letter talisman. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at how petty this fella was. Would it kill a powerful expert like himself to gift Mo Wuji a high grade face mask? Now that Xing Mu was staring at him to leave, he could only break the yellow talisman to head off. A yellow radiance swept in as it brought Mo Wuji away. An immense spatial fluctuation could be felt as Mo Wuji''s will started to blur out. In his heart, he was wondering just how far this place was. Fortunately, the transfer talisman had already exhausted the spatial energy as Mo Wuji fell from the void. "Boom!" A massive mud pit was formed when Mo Wuji landed. It was fortunate that Mo Wuji was already in the Sage Physique Stage so other than looking weary, he didn''t suffer any injuries. At this moment, Mo Wuji realised that the transfer array gate used for Nirvana Learning Academy''s fight for resource was built by Xing Mu. This old fella was evidently pervetic because he seemed to love making people fall from his transfer array. As he got himself out of the mud pit, Mo Wuji took out the stamped token letter talisman. There were clear directions on the talisman and it should be pointing towards Yu Clan. Mo Wuji picked up his items before wearing his face mask. He turned himself into a yellow face scholar-looking cultivator as he headed towards Yu Clan. This mask was gifted to him from Qu You and it has helped him on countless occasions. Because of how stingy Xing Mu was, Mo Wuji had no choice but to use his face mask once more. Xing Mu''s words were not wrong because in less than one hour of navigating with the stamped token letter talisman, Mo Wuji saw an ancient sign board with words: Gods Continent''s Yu Clan. While Mo Wuji was staring at this signboard, a few shadows landed near Mo Wuji. "Who are you? And why are you being all sneaky around this place?" The person speaking seemed to be a pampered son of a wealthy family. Looking at the bloodstains of this man and the people around him, Mo Wuji knew that this fella must have lost a tough battle. That would be the reason why they escaped here. Mo Wuji said faintly. "I am the guest of Yu Clan and I''m about to go meet them." "You''re a guest of Yu Clan?" The white face pampered man sized Mo Wuji up doubtfully. After a while, he continued, "I am Yu Qi of Yu Clan. Why have I not heard from anyone that Yu Clan still has guests like you?" So this person was a member of Yu Clan, that made things much easier. Mo Wuji took out the stamped token letter talisman and handed it to Yu Qi. "This is a letter talisman." Without any further probing, Mo Wuji handed the letter talisman to Yu Qi. In fact, Mo Wuji was hoping that this fella was a fake so that he could leave this place with an excuse that he lost. In this way, Xing Mu wouldn''t be able to blame him. As for Yu Qi and his men, Mo Wuji really wasn''t too concerned with them. The strongest among them was only in the Heavenly God Level 6. Yu Qi took over the letter talisman as he replied emotionally, "So you''re an array master here to help us install the defensive array. May I ask where you came from?" "You don''t know about my origins?" Mo Wuji asked. Yu Qi shook his head, "I have no idea. I only knew that two years ago, my Yu Clan sent out a favour token for the main purpose of the installation of the defensive array. Afterwards, there was simply no more news about it¡­" Mo Wuji understood Yu Qi''s words but in his heart, he was cursing at Xing Mu for not explaining properly. "My name is Mo Xinghe so do lead the way." Mo Wuji didn''t bother answering Yu Qi''s question as he said faintly. "Array Master Mo, please follow me," Yu Qi was still feeling emotional because he was bringing the array master his clan invited back. To him, this was a good thing as he was about to improve his status in Yu Clan and receive even more cultivation resources. ¡­ The defensive array of Yu Clan did look like it had been there for quite some time. According to Mo Wuji''s judgement, this was undoubtedly a Grade 5 defensive array. Under Yu Qi''s lead, Mo Wuji entered the defensive array. Dense god spiritual energy surged over to Mo Wuji at the instance he stepped inside the array. Mo Wuji was inwardly shocked because even Nirvana Learning Academy didn''t have such dense god spiritual energy. This Yu Clan must have some sort of great history. Very soon, Mo Wuji realised that there were many low grades spiritual sealing god arrays within Yu Clan''s defensive array. However, because of how dense the god spiritual energy was, low grade spiritual sealing god arrays weren''t able to seal the energy up. What made Mo Wuji even more impressed was how dense would the god spiritual energy here be if there were no low grade spiritual sealing god arrays installed here at all. Chapter 1021: Yu Clan’s Secret Chapter 1021: Yu Clan¡¯s Secret Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Yu Qi, why have you brought an outsider into Yu Clan?" Just as Mo Wuji was wondering why Yu Clan would have such dense god spiritual energy, an icy cold voice interrupted his train of thoughts. Mo Wuji''s heart jumped as he suddenly had a bad feeling. Yu Qi hurried to bow, "Elder, this is Array Master Mo. Array Master Mo received our Yu Clan''s favour token and is here to help install our defensive array." "Receive the favour token?" The icy voice turned warmer as he asked once more. "Where is the favour token?" Mo Wuji thought to himself, here to help? How was I given any choice at all? Because he had promised Xing Mu, he had no choice but to take out his favour token. A god elemental energy swept in as Mo Wuji''s favour token was swept away. Moments later, that same voice sounded, "Yu Qi, bring Array Master Mo into the guest hall." "Yes!" Yu Qi answered as he turned back to Mo Wuji. "Array Master Mo, please follow me into the guest hall. That was Elder Ka and he is actually a very nice person." Mo Wuji smiled faintly as he nodded. Even so, he was sneering in his heart. A very nice person? Mo Wuji was here to help so he would naturally not expect to be treated badly. Based on how this Elder Ka had no intention of coming out to welcome Mo Wuji upon knowing why he was here, Mo Wuji knew that his help wasn''t of much importance to Yu Clan. However, Mo Wuji was curious as to why Yu Qi was so seemingly happy after meeting him. Regardless, the cautious Mo Wuji started to install void runes as he made his way to the guest hall. One shouldn''t have the heart to harm others but one must still stay vigilant so as not to be harmed. Under Yu Qi''s lead, Mo Wuji arrived at Yu Clan''s guest hall very quickly. Yu Clan''s guest hall was not considered small and looked slightly spacious. However, Mo Wuji still felt that this guest hall was simply too small and not compatible with how dense the god spiritual energy was on the outside. Because of such dense god spiritual energy in Yu Clan, there must be as many experts as there were clouds in Yu Clan. This was why the set up of Yu Clan''s guest hall just didn''t seem compatible with the density of Yu Clan''s god spiritual energy. There were four people seated in Yu Clan''s guest hall and they were three men with a woman. Seated at the top was a white face man without a beard. Mo Wuji sensed that this person should be the strongest in the World God Level 1. The three people seated on either side of this beardless man were all in the God Monarch Stage. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief because looking at the strength of these people, it shouldn''t be enough to stop his Wind Escape Technique. "Haha, Array Master Mo has come from a long way. It must have been tough so please take a seat." After Mo Wuji arrived, the beardless man seated on top hurried to stand up. He put up an extremely welcoming face to receive Mo Wuji into the guest hall. Mo Wuji was very sensitive to people''s words so he could sense how pretentious those words were. He wasn''t bothered because he was simply here to help, hence, he didn''t put the attitude of Yu Clan to heart. "I''m Yu Clan''s Yu Fengyu and may I ask where Array Master Mo is from?" The beardless man smiled as he could tell that Mo Wuji wasn''t that strong. Mo Wuji clasped his fist, "I''m from the Heavenly Mortal Mountain. The truth was that I''ve received this favour token two years. Because I was heading into secluded cultivation at that time, I''ve postponed by visit until now. I ask for your forgiveness." "Heavenly Mortal Mountain?" Yu Fengyu repeated the place once more. He was considered to be quite well versed in experience but why had he not heard of this place before? Mo Wuji blushed slightly as he replied awkwardly, "Our mountain is comparatively weaker and because we focused mainly on Array Dao''s research, our cultivation skills are not the best. When it finally reached my generation, it was no longer like before. Two years ago, the favour token arrived at my master''s door so even though my Array Dao and cultivation were low, I couldn''t neglect the calling of help from our benefactor. Therefore, I made my way here." Hearing that Mo Wuji was merely a lonely soul, Yu Fengyu heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the owner of the favour token was a God Array Master. After so many years, who knew if he had any descendants so he was merely trying his luck by sending the favour token out. He didn''t expect that even after that many years, that God Array Master really had his descendants in arrays. He didn''t know that the owner of the favour token was still around, was a peak grade expert of Nirvana Learning Academy and was even in the Unity God Stage. If he knew that the favour token was in the hands of a person like Xing Mu, he wouldn''t send out Yu Clan''s favour token even if he was a thousand times braver. "And may I ask what grade of a god array master is Array Master Mo?" Yu Fengyu hurried to ask. If Mo Wuji''s array dao was less than grade 3, Mo Wuji wouldn''t have been of much use here. Mo Wuji revealed extreme confidence as he replied, "In terms of array dao''s legacy, my Heavenly Mortal Mountain wouldn''t lose to anyone else. Even though I am not very talented, my array dao did barely step into Grade 4." Mo Wuji had been well experienced over the years so after a few words with Yu Fengyu, he knew that this fella harboured ill-intentions towards him. Mo Wuji had no idea why the opposition was doing this but being prepared wouldn''t do him any harm. Even though Mo Wuji was already a legitimate Grade 5 God Array Master, he only mentioned that he had barely made it to grade 4. "You''re indeed a God Array Master," Yu Fengyu was madly excited because Mo Wuji was too suitable for his Yu Clan''s request. A person with low cultivation, from an unknown place and Grade 4 Array Dao was truly a gift of concern from the heavens. Mo Wuji didn''t wish to waste any time so he asked directly, "May I ask Dao Friend Yu how I could help to install Yu Clan''s defensive array?" Yu Fengyu chuckled as he answered, "I''ll bring Array Master Mo over now." Having said that, he turned to Yu Qi, "Yu Qi, you''ve contributed greatly by bringing Array Master Mo back. After the installation of Yu Clan''s array is done, you will be rewarded accordingly. You can go back now." Yu Qi was elated as he hurried to bow and retreat. After Yu Qi retreated, Yu Fengyu turned back to Mo Wuji in good spirits. "Array Master Mo, please follow me." Mo Wuji noticed that when he started following Yu Fengyu, the few God Monarchs in the guest hall started following behind him as well. Mo Wuji was not bothered by these people but was deep in thought as to why Yu Clan''s spiritual energy was so dense but Yu Fengyu was the only World God he saw? Looking at Yu Fengyu''s fluctuation of his primordial spirit, it seemed like he had only stepped into the World God Stage recently. Yu Clan''s territory wasn''t small and after walking for over 5 kilometres, they stopped at a door made of stone. As he approached here, Mo Wuji could feel that dense god spiritual energy. This door was wrapped around by layers and layers of Grade 2 spiritual sealing arrays but because of the low grades of the arrays, the dense spiritual energy was still seeping out. What a good place! Mo Wuji exclaimed in his heart. What kind of peak grade god spiritual veins were they hiding here? Even while he was being amazed, Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel was still carving thousands of void runes in this place. Yu Fengyu took out an array token to open the stone door as he said hurriedly. "Array Master Mo, please hurry in." After saying that, Yu Fengyu walked in first. Once Mo Wuji followed Yu Fengyu in, he was stunned as he understood everything instantly. This was not god spiritual energy brought by peak grade god spiritual veins but primal god spiritual energy. If it wasn''t for his use of primal god spiritual energy to cultivate for a year or so back then, how would he be able to step into the Heavenly God Level 2? Presently, Mo Wuji also understood why Yu Fengyu advanced to become a World God but his cultivation was barely stabilised. This fella must have found out about this location which resulted in his advancement. Even while he was shocked in his heart, Mo Wuji appeared calm as he exclaimed, "The Yu Clan''s god spiritual energy is really dense." "Oh, has Array Master Mo seen places with such dense god spiritual energy before?" Yu Fengyu let out an ''oh'' before asking. Mo Wuji laughed, "Many years ago, my master brought me to a big god city where he rented an A-class immortal residence. The god spiritual energy there was as dense¡­" As he said this, Mo Wuji was even more flabbergasted as he spotted the hundreds of peak grade Green Dew Rice. Yes, all of them were Green Dew Rice of the very peak grade. Mo Wuji sighed in his heart at how impressive this Yu Clan truly was. Using primal god spiritual energy to nurture Green Dew Rice would probably boost Yu Clan to become the greatest peak grade clan in God Continent in the next few years. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood why Yu Clan would want to kill him. The reason why Yu Clan invited him was definitely to install god spiritual sealing arrays. After installing the arrays to conceal such primal god spiritual energy, would he still be able to leave this place alive? The question Mo Wuji had was why he couldn''t sense the primal god spiritual energy outside the stone door and only after entering could he realise that it was primal energy? Mo Wuji extended his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will fearlessly. Very soon, he spotted the problem. This place had already installed a filtering god array to absorb the primal god spiritual energy. This god array''s grade wasn''t low and should be of grade 5. Even though the god spiritual energy was put through the filtering god array, Mo Wuji was still able to capture traces of it because he had cultivated in primal god spiritual energy before. Why would Yu Clan need a Grade 4 God Array Master if they already had a God Array Master who could install a Grade 5 God Array? Mo Wuji cracked his mind a little and instantly come to a realisation. That Grade 5 God Array Master must have been silenced after installing that array. Hearing Mo Wuji''s words, Yu Fengyu sneered coldly in his heart. What kind of god city would have primal god spiritual energy? Even if it was filtered, the god spiritual energy here wasn''t something any god cities could compare with. "Array Master Mo was indeed well experienced. Yu Clan is only a small family clan and the god spiritual energy here is definitely not worth anything compared to the other clans. However, this is my Yu Clan''s foundation. Therefore, I only wish to invite Array Master Mo to help us install a spiritual sealing array to seal the energy here from seeping out." Yu Fengyu said with a light heart. Mo Wuji continued to carve out his void runes while shaking his hand. "This is not a problem, please lead the way." "Alright." Yu Fengyu brought Mo Wuji along a few narrow green stone path as they arrived at an array gate with whirlpool shaped runes. The dense primal god spiritual energy was seeping out from this place. Even the Grade 5 filtering god array wasn''t able to filter the god spiritual energy completely. Mo Wuji suddenly had an intense urge to enter the whirlpool shaped array gate to see what was inside. Chapter 1022: The Person Captured By The Yu Clan Chapter 1022: The Person Captured By The Yu Clan Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Array Master Mo, how is it?" Noticing that Mo Wuji was staring at the whirlpool of god spiritual energy, Yu Fengyu hurried to question. He was slightly suspicious and worried that Mo Wuji might have felt the primal god spiritual energy here. But since he had already brought Mo Wuji here, there was no way Mo Wuji could leave even if he had sensed the primal god spiritual energy here. Otherwise, he wouldn''t even consider bringing Mo Wuji here. Because of this primal god spiritual energy, at least seven or eight Grade 4 God Array Master had died in Yu Fengyu''s hands so it wouldn''t matter to him. Even one Grade 5 God Array King had died here previously. Mo Wuji smiled faintly, "My sect did have a unique method in terms of spiritual sealing god arrays. In fact, I am confident I could seal up all the god spiritual energy in this place completely. The condition would be that I need to know the origin of this god spiritual energy so I might need to head in." "God Array Master Mo, please do not consider this method. My Yu Clan had sent people in before but none of them made it out alive." Yu Fengyu rejected Mo Wuji''s idea. Mo Wuji thought to himself, who are you trying to kid? He shook his head as he continued, "If I do know where it came from, I''m afraid it might be tough for me to install a perfect spiritual sealing god array. Even if I manage to install one, the dense god spiritual energy would break through it after some time and reinstallation would be needed. Only by using the god spiritual energy here to activate the spiritual sealing array would it maintain its sturdiness for a long time. To have such spiritual sealing array, I would need to know the source of the god spiritual energy." Mo Wuji was not speaking blindly because this was a place with primal god spiritual energy. In order for the spiritual sealing god array to be useful, the only way would be to make use of the source. Naturally, Mo Wuji didn''t need to enter to be able to install the spiritual sealing god array. Yu Fengyu''s heart jumped in surprise because Mo Wuji''s last few sentences did affect him. This was also the reason why Yu Clan needed to find one or two more Grade 4 God Array Master after a period of time. Every time Yu Clan tried to install a Grade 4 god spiritual array, it would eventually be broken through. As a descendant of an Array Dao expert, Mo Wuji really did have his unique set of skills. At the thought of this, Yu Fengyu replied, "When this place first appeared, someone appeared here. Why don''t I bring the person here and you can question him about the exact situation inside?" Someone actually appeared where the primal god spiritual energy appeared? Mo Wuji instantly grew interested, "Alright, may I ask Dao Friend Yu to bring that person here?" Yu Fengyu acted fast and with just one message, a dazed and tall built man with shoulder-length hair was brought over. Ape Mo? Mo Wuji looked at this tall man with a black face and his heart was in shock. This was evidently Ape Mo but why would he end up in God Continent or end up in the hands of Yu Clan? What has he got to do with the source of this primal god spiritual energy too? "Let this Array Master know of the specific details of what was inside this place," Yu Fengyu grunted at Ape Mo as he instructed him to speak. Ape Mo lifted his head dazedly. Even though he looked dispirited and his cultivation was disorganised, Mo Wuji could tell that Ape Mo was already in the Nascent God Stage Level 1. Mo Wuji was inwardly fuming and at this moment, all he wanted to do was to exterminate this Yu Clan. The pity was that he was still too weak to do that. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Dao Friend Yu, I doubt it would be useful since he doesn''t know about the Array Dao. Let him bring me down and I''ll check on it personally." In this place, he should be strong enough to escape by himself. To think about bringing Ape Mo away with him, it would simply be an impossible dream. As for pointing out that he was a disciple of Nirvana Learning Academy, it might result in an earlier death. When such big secret was found out by himself, even the future Academy Lord of Nirvana Learning Academy would be silenced, let alone a mere disciple of the academy. Hearing that Mo Wuji still insisted to head down, he furrowed his brows. However, Mo Wuji''s previous sentences were too tough for him to reject. A spiritual sealing god array which could forever seal up the energy here? That was simply too important to Yu Clan. Otherwise, Yu Clan would have to constantly invite array masters over every now and then. In the long term, that would eventually be a problem for them. After all, why would others not be suspicious when reputable Grade 4 God Array Masters kept disappearing within the mountains of Yu Clan? After much consideration, Yu Fengyu nodded his head. "Alright, I''ll let Yu Nan follow you down as well. Yu Nan¡­" "Here!" A delicate looking man walked over. Looking at this person, Mo Wuji sighed because he was indeed an expert in the God Monarch Stage Level 1. He had killed a God Monarch before but it wasn''t under normal circumstances. "Array Master Mo, we''ve been down a few times before and the only thing we could see was a half white half grey stone¡­" Yu Fengyu continued to try his best in an attempt to convince Mo Wuji to not go down there. As for his lie about how nobody made it out alive, Yu Fengyu had completely forgotten about it. Mo Wuji didn''t bother exposing him as he pretended to not realise as well. "Dao Friend Yu is not proficient in Array Dao. Sometimes when the god spiritual source is right in front of your eyes, you might even miss it. How about this? Let Dao Friend Yu Nan bring me and this man with shoulder-length hair down. There might be some specific details that I might need to find out from this man." Hearing that Mo Wuji mentioned how he was not proficient in Array Dao and might miss something, Yu Fengyu was fuming. Following which, he calmed himself down at the thought of how Mo Wuji only had a few more days to live. "Let''s go then." After saying that, Mo Wuji jumped down first as he believed that Yu Nan would bring Ape Mo with him. Just like Mo Wuji''s prediction, Yu Nan grabbed onto Ape Mo as they jumped right into the god spiritual energy whirlpool immediately after Mo Wuji. His task was very simple: Watch Mo Wuji. An immense whirlpool energy could be felt and even Mo Wuji''s Sage Physique felt uncomfortable as his spiritual will turned sluggish. Fortunately, Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel started circulating in time and he managed to stay conscious throughout. After a few minutes, Mo Wuji landed with both feet on the ground. It was indeed a massive half white half grey coloured stone platform. The moment Mo Wuji landed on the platform, he instantly threw out tens of array flags and drew out his Half Moon Weighted Halberd. Just as he did this, Yu Nan descended with Ape Mo. Without waiting for Yu Nan to land, Mo Wuji sent out a halberd strike at Yu Nan. At the same time, he struck out an invisible hand seal towards Yu Nan''s chest. A Wheel of Life and Death brought along a formless Law of Time energy which could be considered as Mo Wuji''s greatest ambush attack. Yu Nan, who was grabbing onto Ape Mo, could feel a deathly surge of energy towards him even before landing on the platform. He never expected Mo Wuji to ambush him because why would a Heavenly God ever dare to ambush a God Monarch? In split seconds, Yu Nan confirmed that Mo Wuji was laying an ambush for him. At this point in time, his primordial spirit was in a sluggish state. In a state like this, it wasn''t completely impossible for a Heavenly God to ambush him successfully. Yu Nan wasn''t bothered about the life and death of Ape Mo as he simply threw him to one side. Following which, he burnt his god elemental energy intensely as he tried to break free of the whirlpool spiritual will restraint. Very soon, Yu Nan felt something was amiss as the space around him started to become viscous. Time seemed to be slowing down and even a split second felt as long as a century. That split second was more than enough for the Wheel of Life and Death as the grey and white wheel imprint landed on Yu Nan''s body. As the deathly energy wrapped around Yu Nan''s body, his life force was being robbed away by the Wheel of Life and Death. Even without any movement from Mo Wuji, the Wheel of Life and Death was already absorbing the life force of Yu Nan intently. "How dare you ambush me?" Yu Nan stared angrily at Mo Wuji. Just as Yu Nan uttered those words, Mo Wuji''s Half Moon Weighted Halberd had splashed out a blood fog as Yu Nan''s Dantian and spirit channels were destroyed completely. "I''ve truly overestimated you. To think a God Monarch would not be able to retaliate at all." After Mo Wuji finished Yu Nan off, he said disdainfully. Yu Nan, who had his last few breaths, was fuming madly. His spiritual will and elemental energy were restrained by the initial whirlpool and not only did Mo Wuji actually ambushed him despicably, he even set up a spatial restrainment array. At this moment, he even indirectly called him weak. How could someone be this despicable? Mo Wuji didn''t wait for Yu Nan to continue speaking as he threw out a few more array flags. He managed to trap that final bit of life force within the array he just set up. Ape Mo, who landed by the side, looked shockingly at Mo Wuji. He had no idea why Mo Wuji would want to kill Yu Nan. Mo Wuji took off his face mask and sent a healing pill into Ape Mo''s mouth before speaking. "Ape Mo, how have you ended up in this state?" "Wuji, why are you here?" Ape Mo looked astonished as he finally understood why Yu Nan was assassinated. In the next moment, he was surprised at how his god elemental energy started circulating again and his injuries were disappearing rapidly. Half an incense later, Ape Mo opened his eyes and his wounds were completely gone and his cultivation level was even slightly more refined. Indeed, recovering in a place with such primal god spiritual energy would result in a visible growth in cultivation level. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Yu Clan didn''t have a God King who could extract Ape Mo''s soul, Ape Mo might not have survived till today. Noticing that Ape Mo Was still interested in questioning, Mo Wuji hurried to extend his arm to stop Ape Mo from asking. "First, tell me how you end up here and how is the Cosmos Edge now?" Ape Mo pointed at Yu Nan and said. "Let''s finish this fella off first. Just in case you could hear our conversation." Following this, Mo Wuji struck out a soundproof restriction. "We can talk now. As for that fella, we cannot kill him now. Killing him might alert that old fella Yu Fengyu." Yu Fengyu was the God Monarch expert of Yu Clan and if they mentioned that he didn''t have the soul token, Mo Wuji wouldn''t believe it. Ape Mo''s eyes turned red as he spoke. "Wuji, I''m sorry to let you down. I''m afraid the Cosmos Edge is gone too." "Big Mo, speak slowly." Mo Wuji''s heart sank because he knew how Ape Mo was like. If it wasn''t anything important or serious, he wouldn''t say that he had let Mo Wuji down. He believed that Ape Mo wouldn''t do anything to let him down so he changed the way he addressed Ape Mo to Big Mo to prove that Mo Wuji trusts him. Ape Mo nodded as he took in a deep breath. "A few years after you left, your wife, Shuyin and a woman called Lin Gu arrived at the Cosmos Edge¡­" "Shuyin and Lin Gu went to the Cosmos Edge?" Mo Wuji asked astonishingly. He was most worried about Shuyin but never had the chance to hear any news about her. Chapter 1023: Before Leaving Chapter 1023: Before Leaving Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Ape Mo nodded, "Because I was in Cosmos Edge and Junior Sister Wen Lan was also around. Shuyin and Lin Gu have always stayed in Cosmos Edge to cultivate and no one dared to say anything. Shuyin and Lin Gu''s aptitudes were very good and with a large amount of green crystals, both of their cultivations grew very quickly. However, after a while, Shuyin really missed you a lot so she decided to head to Immortal World to find you. At the same time, the Cosmos Wall''s void passage was actually unimpeded." "The Heaven''s Beyond Corridor''s Cosmos Wall''s void passage?" Could the people of the Gods World make use of the Cosmos Wall''s passage to enter the Cosmos Edge? Ape Mo nodded, "Yes, a lot of experts from Cosmos Edge entered Cosmos Wall''s passage. After these experts came out of that place, everyone obtained a large amount of real god crystals. Because of this increase in cultivation resource, their cultivation grew rapidly. Shuyin and Lin Gu wanted to return to Immortal World so they desperately wanted to increase their strength too. Even though their cultivation speed was already considered fast, they still found it too slow." "They went to Cosmos Wall''s passage too?" Mo Wuji''s heart was in shock because that place wasn''t a nice place to visit. Back then, Mo Wuji had gone there once. Ape Mo sighed, "Yes, Junior Sister Wen Lan was worried about them so she followed them. In the end, not one of the three of them came out after that trip. Later on, someone went into the passage again and was also reported missing. Just when I was prepared to enter the void passage personally, something happened in Cosmos Edge." "What happened?" Mo Wuji became increasingly worried. If the something bad happened to Cosmos Edge, did that mean that something would happen to Immortal World too? Back then, he was still too weak and unable to break through the barrier to enter Immortal World from Cosmos Edge. What if someone much stronger than him appeared at that point in time? "Peak grade experts of Gods Race suddenly appeared in Gods Precipice Continent. These experts from Gods Race killed every other cultivator in Gods Precipice Continent before killing their way to Cosmos Edge. Cosmos Edge just didn''t seem strong enough to fight against Gods Race. Everyone started to retreat back to their own Immortal Domain before thinking of ways to seal up their world. Back then, I was at Heaven''s Beyond Corridor waiting for the appearance of Cosmos Wall. When I''ve heard of the arrival of those peak grade experts from Gods Race, I hurried back to Cosmos Edge to help¡­" As Ape Mo spoke, his tone was increasingly solemn, "What I didn''t expect was that even before I could return to Cosmos Edge, the members of Gods Race had already killed their way into Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. The person fighting me was an elegant-looking gigolo. I am, after all, a peak grade Immortal Emperor or in the terms of Immortal World, a peak grade Dao Emperor. But in the face of this gigolo, I wasn''t even able to defend against his first strike. Fortunately, Cosmos Wall appeared at this moment¡­ When the gigolo was shocked at how many treasures fell from Cosmos Wall, I made use of the opportunity to escape¡­" "And how did you end up here?" Mo Wuji asked inquisitively. Ape Mo answered. "I initially thought that the gigolo would chase after me but he didn''t. At that point in time, a void array gate suddenly appeared in front of me. Without much consideration, I instantly charged into that void array gate¡­" "And you arrived here?" Ape Mo shook his head, "No, I arrived on a massive stone which had a few words on it: Seven World Stone." "You saw the Seven World Stone?" Mo Wuji asked shockingly. He knew that once a person reached the Seven World Stone, that person would be able to return to Immortal World. Ape Mo nodded, "Yes, that was the Seven World Stone. On the Seven World Stone, I could clearly see seven pitch black voids. After hesitating for a while, I was too worried that the gigolo might chase after me so I chose one of the pitch black passage to enter. That was how I ended up here." Mo Wuji understood what was going on now. The Seven World Stone really did have a void passage leading towards Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Back then, he had always made use of the Seven World Stone to reach Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. According to Ape Mo''s explanation, Mo Wuji doubted that the passage from the Seven World Stone to Heaven''s Beyond Corridor was fixed. That would mean to say that only when the void array gate appeared, one would then be able to head towards the Seven World Stone from the ruins of Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. The possibility of this was exceedingly low. Ape Mo''s luck was not bad in the sense that he didn''t choose the void passage leading back to Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Ape Mo continued, "After arriving here, I was astonished by the dense god spiritual energy here. Moreover, the god spiritual energy here even brought along a type of primal energy. Because of this, I hurried to start cultivating here. In just a few days, I''ve managed to sense the realm of my dreams. It was definitely a realm much higher than a Dao Emperor so I didn''t hesitate as I decided to advance." Mo Wuji sighed as he guessed that Ape Mo''s decision to break through into the Nascent God Stage must have alerted Yu Clan. Indeed, Ape Mo sighed as he replied, "What I didn''t expect was that my sudden advancement ignited the lightning tribulation which destroyed the defensive array here. The god spiritual energy in this place was instantly seeped out and I was spotted by others." Mo Wuji didn''t find it surprising. Mo Wuji had no idea who placed the Seven World Stone there and after that many years, the defensive array must have weakened which was why Ape Mo''s lightning tribulation could break it. "Wuji, we must not stay in this place for too long. If we extend our stay here, Yu Clan would definitely notice." Ape Mo added. "Hold on for a while, let me take a look," Mo Wuji replied. What Mo Wuji wanted now was not to help Yu Clan install their spiritual sealing array but to return to Cosmos Edge and then Cosmos Wall. Besides, he really wanted to find out how the experts of Gods Race managed to reach Cosmos Edge. Mo Wuji used his spirit storage channel to scan the surrounding to realise that there was nothing peculiar here. There was indeed only a grey and white massive stone and no other traces of anything else. Even though the spirit storage channel didn''t notice anything, Mo Wuji still had his spiritual eye. His cultivation level and level of Array Dao might be low but he was certainly not short of methods. Having cultivated to the Heavenly God Level 2, Mo Wuji''s spiritual eye was even more effective. Once he opened his spiritual eye, everything surrounding the massive stone and even its periphery appeared delicate. Soon after, Mo Wuji spotted that a clear mark at the bottom of the stone. That was where the dense god spiritual energy was emerging from. Mo Wuji instantly threw out tens of array flags. He was a Grade 5 God Array King so when these flags were thrown out, a clear god spiritual vein source appeared in front of Mo Wuji. "This is the god spiritual vein?" Even though Ape Mo was captured the moment he reached God Continent, he was still aware of the god spiritual vein. Mo Wuji answered seriously, "This is not just a god spiritual vein but the most valuable god spiritual vein in God World." Mo Wuji still had a few god spiritual veins, which were graded as peak grade, lying in his Undying World. However, he was certain that some of the god spiritual veins in his storage ring was not even half as good as the true peak grade god spiritual vein. Compared to the god spiritual vein in front of his eyes now, they were simply not worthy to be called god spiritual veins. This was undoubtedly a primal god spiritual vein. Despite the many years of exhaustion, this primal god spiritual vein was still emitting incredibly dense god spiritual energy. "Ah, a void array gate has appeared," Ape Mo exclaimed surprisingly. Ape Mo was right because when Mo Wuji revealed this primal god spiritual vein, an indistinct array gate appeared on the side of the grey and white massive stone. Yu Nan, who was watching from the side, started using his all his energy to struggle at the sight of this array gate. The appearance of the array gate would mean that Mo Wuji would kill him in the next moment. "Wuji, are we going to escape from this void array gate?" Ape Mo asked excitedly. Mo Wuji pointed at that primal god spiritual vein. "Of course we will leave but I won''t let Yu Clan have this god spiritual vein so easily." Having said that, Mo Wuji constantly threw out more array flags. The god spiritual vein started to become more visible as even denser god spiritual energy surged in all four directions. Mo Wuji turned to Ape Mo, "Big Mo, leave from this void array gate first. I''ll follow behind once I keep this god spiritual vein." "Alright." Ape Mo didn''t hesitate as he darted towards the void array gate before disappearing. ¡­ Simultaneously, Yu Fengyu stared curiously at the god spiritual energy whirlpool because the primal energy became denser than before. If this continued, there wouldn''t be a point even if Yu Clan did manage to install the spiritual sealing array. Once the primal energy was spotted by experts, Yu Clan would only remain as an ant-like existence. While Yu Clan had always been killing a few great God Array Masters, those were people without any strong backers. Once the real experts found out about this, Yu Clan would be exterminated within seconds. "What on earth is that b*stard doing? Did Yu Nan send any messages back?" Yu Fengyu clenched his teeth nervously. "Not yet. I''ve already reminded Yu Nan to send a message back as soon as he could. Ah¡­" Before the God Monarch standing beside Yu Fengyu could finish his sentence, he let out an ''Ah''. "What is it?" Yu Fengyu asked anxiously. "Yu Nan''s soul has been destroyed." The God Monarch continued, "How is this possible? Yu Nan was a God Monarch and that ant was merely in the elementary Heavenly God Stage¡­" "Even a stupid ant dare to act under the roof of my Yu Clan? Yu Mingyi and Yu Yu, both of you follow me down¡­" Yu Fengyu stopped talking as the primal god energy whirlpool was messed up abruptly. A terrifying tear appeared in the space in front of them. "Not good, the space here is about to collapse. Hurry up and leave¡­" Even before Yu Fengyu finished speaking, an intense collapse of the space in front of them had swept over. Under the terrifying spatial whirlpool, even Yu Fengyu was not able to break free from it. In that short period of time, Yu Clan was turned into absolute nothingness. Chapter 1024: The Great Change in The Cosmos Edge Chapter 1024: The Great Change in The Cosmos Edge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations An intense dizziness could be felt and even though Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was strong, he could only maintain slightly conscious. He was no longer able to sense the situation around him as the only thing he could sense was that space was transforming rapidly. After countless spatial transformations, Mo Wuji''s legs trembled as he landed on a piece of massive stone. Before Mo Wuji could look around, he already knew that he must be transferred an extremely long distance. Looking at the massive stone underneath his feet, it was indeed the Seven World Stone. Ape Mo was simply lying unconscious nearby. It seemed like he had yet to regain his consciousness from the spatial transformation. In front of the Seven World Stone was still the seven pitch black endless void whirlpool. Mo Wuji entered the extreme left one before and he knew that it would lead to the Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. "Wuji, what is your cultivation level? Why are you not affected at all?" Ape Mo was finally awake as he asked shockingly. "I''m only in the Heavenly God Elementary Stage and I''m less affected because my spiritual will is slightly stronger." Mo Wuji answered. Ape Mo didn''t question further because back then, Mo Wuji was only in the Immortal Emperor Elementary Stage and was able to traverse the Oblique Space Sea Island and seek peace from the eight Great Grand Emperors. Now that Mo Wuji had been to God Continent for so many years, he must be many times stronger than before. "Big Mo, back then, I entered from the left most whirlpool and ended up in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Which whirlpool did you enter which brought you to God Continent''s Yu Clan?" Mo Wuji pointed at the seven pitch black endless whirlpool. Ape Mo pointed at the fifth void whirlpool from the left, "I''ve entered from this one." Mo Wuji couldn''t understand this. Back then, he entered the nearest void whirlpool and ended up in Cosmos Edge. Cosmos Edge and Immortal World were indeed close and could even be known as being on the same plane of grand law. Now Ape Mo entered from the fifth one and reached God Continent. Could the sixth and seventh whirlpool lead them to a place further than God Continent? "Wuji, we have to leave this place fast. The people of Yu Clan may follow us here." Ape Mo noticed that Mo Wuji was still staring at the whirlpools dazedly so he commented anxiously. Mo Wuji shook his head. "We can go back but Yu Clan would definitely not be able to come here." "Why?" Ape Mo asked. "Because when I took away that primal god spiritual vein, how is Yu Clan going to come over? Even if we head back, we might not be able to use the same method to come over again," Mo Wuji explained. If Mo Wuji didn''t extract that primal god spiritual vein, Mo Wuji was confident that he could enter God Continent from here as he wished. However, once that god spiritual vein was extracted, it would mean that he only had one chance to go back to God Continent. Given his strength, he wouldn''t be able to place the god spiritual vein back into its original position even if he knew where to put it. Ape Mo heaved a sigh of relief, "So where are we going now?" "To Cosmos Edge. You follow behind me and we''ll enter together." Mo Wuji was very certain that even though he arrived at the Seven World Stone from Great Desolate Sea Domain, going back to Great Desolate Sea Domain from the Seven World Stone seemed unlikely. After Mo Wuji said that, he entered the left most whirlpool without hesitation. Again, the space transformed continuously and even though Mo Wuji''s spiritual will was extremely strong, he wasn''t able to grasp the transformation in space. Once he landed on the ground, Mo Wuji knew that this was Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. It was still a boundless looking desert wasteland and it was still gloomy. There were all sorts of broken magic treasures and countless corpses lying around¡­ "Wuji, why am I not restrained by any Laws of the Heaven and Earth here? Logically speaking, I have already surpassed the Dao Emperor Stage and entered the Nascent God Stage. In a world domain belonging to Immortal World, I should face some restraint right?" Ape Mo asked astonishingly after landing behind Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji answered, "I doubt this place was a pure Immortal World. Back then when the experts of God World fought, and even resulted in the appearance of the God Tower, this could be a unique spatial world domain." As he spoke, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had extended outwards endlessly. Many years ago, his spiritual will was slightly restraint in this place but now, his spiritual will was able to extend casually without restraint. Mo Wuji managed to scan Heaven''s Beyond City Square very quickly. The previously incredibly crowded Heaven''s Beyond City Square was presently incomparably ruined without a single soul left here. The human and demon races were also no longer around. Heaven''s Beyond Human Corridor as well as Heaven''s Beyond Demon Corridor was just as empty as the desolate wasteland. "Let''s go and take a look at Cosmos Edge... Hold on, someone is here." Mo Wuji knew that he needed to wait if he wanted to head to Cosmos Wall. The slight fluctuation of the spatial energy far away was instantly captured by Mo Wuji. He didn''t head over as two people hurried over. Based on their energy, they were certainly not cultivators of Gods Race. After a short while, two incredibly old looking elders appeared in front of Mo Wuji. "Sect Head Mo, you''re back?" The one speaking was the man dressed entirely in black. Deathly energy was surrounding him as his voice was trembling. "Dao Lord Mo, it really is you¡­" The other elder also exclaimed emotionally. Mo Wuji couldn''t believe his eyes as he asked, "Are you Lu Ziting and Ni Kai?" The man dressed in grey hurried to answer, "It is us and I am Revolving Soul Dao''s Lu Ziting. We have been fighting for our life in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor and were tortured by the deathly energy here." There was an overwhelming sadness in Mo Wuji''s heart because his impression of Lu Ziting from Revolving Soul Dao was simply too deep. He was a responsible person and back then, if it wasn''t for Lu Ziting, Empress Wen Lan and a few others, the human race would have perished in the hands of Gods Race in Cosmos Edge. Those years ago, Lu Ziting was dressed in pure white and was an extremely delicate and good looking cultivator. The Lu Ziting today looked like he had just crawled out from a coffin with a body full of deathly energy. "Dao Lord Mo, I am indeed Ni Kai from Blood Race," The other elder calmed himself as he bowed towards Mo Wuji. Years ago, Ni Kai was tall and muscular with a head full of red hair and impressive aura. Now, he was as dispirited as Lu Ziting. "We have been hiding in the desert wasteland and only managed to survive till today because Gods Race was unwilling to expand their search in the desert wasteland. A while back, I''ve managed to sense the energy of Human Race so we hurried out. We certainly didn''t expect to meet Sect Head Mo here. This is really¡­" Lu Ziting was still very emotional. He was already so close to death but he was still worried about the Revolving Soul Dao. Ever since he came out via the Very High Heavens from Immortal World, he hadn''t had a chance to head back. Mo Wuji took out two pills for Lu Ziting and Ni Kai, "Both of you heal your injuries first. We will continue talking after you''ve recovered." Lu Ziting was aware that Mo Wuji was a peak grade Pill Emperor. While he didn''t hold many expectations for Mo Wuji''s pills, he swallowed the pill without hesitation. In just a short period of time, Lu Ziting found out surprisingly that he was able to absorb the elemental energy of the surrounding. Moreover, his vitality was recovering rapidly and the deathly energy had disappeared at this moment too. In just an incense worth of time, Lu Ziting''s appearance was visibly recovering back to his original state. Other than grey coloured immortal robe which looked a little out of place, he no longer exuded any sort of deathly feeling. "Sect Head Mo, what pill is this? So impressive." Lu Ziting sensed the overwhelming immortal energy in the surrounding, his recovering cultivation level and life force. Ni Kai was equally as surprised as he turned back into the red-haired muscular man. He had also recovered the energy of the Great Circle of Immortal Emperor. Ape Mo smiled, "I''ve already experienced Wuji''s impressive pills which don''t exist in Immortal World." Despite Mo Wuji not mentioning of how he managed to enter God Continent, Ape Mo had guessed that Mo Wuji''s pills should be god graded pills. "Dao Lord Mo, your pills are truly too impressive. Not only were all my injuries healed, my cultivation was also improved slightly. This is definitely not an immortal pill. Ni Kai thank Dao Lord Mo for your saving grace." Ni Kai bowed towards Mo Wuji once more. Mo Wuji shook his hand, "Pills are not a big issue. Sect Head Lu, are there any further news of my wife, Shuyin?" These pills were not something everybody could afford even in God World. This was Tier 5 God Pills which Mo Wuji concocted himself, Vitality God Pill. The pill formula of this god pill must be credited to Ao Clan. Back then, Ao Clan made him concoct the Vitality Soup so they told him the ingredients used for the soup. Afterwards, he started analysing the soup after he became a Tier 5 God Pill King and managed to concoct his own vitality pill. As for the name of the pill, Mo Wuji simply reused the name and named it as Vitality God Pill. Mo Wuji had his own vitality meridian so such pills would not be of good use to him. Using these Tier 5 God Pills to heal Lu Ziting and Ni Kai was simply equivalent to using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Lu Ziting shook his head, "Gods Race suddenly appeared in God Precipice Continent and killed all the other races before arriving at Cosmos Edge. Back then, I was in the broken ruins so I managed to escape the first massacre. I managed to escape using a transfer array and came to Heaven''s Beyond Corridor before Gods Race caught up. At Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, I managed to meet Dao Friend Ni Kai and we were on the run together. I''m not sure about anything else." Ni Kai sighe,. "Those people were simply too terrifying. Ji Ku, of Demon Race, was also a peak grade Dao Emperor but I personally witnessed how he was killed without any strength or opportunity to retaliate. I didn''t even dare to fight back as I instantly burnt my life force to escape into Heaven''s Beyond Corridor." Mo Wuji was now certain that experts surpassing Immortal Emperor Realm had come to Cosmos Edge. Otherwise, it was highly unlikely that a Grand Emperor was unable to survive one attack. Mo Wuji knew Ji Ku well and while he was an elder, he was still the peak grade expert of Demon Race. "Dao Lord Mo, do you know where these people came from?" Ni Kai suddenly asked. Mo Wuji asked back. "Dao Friend Ni Kai, could it be that you know where they come from?" Ni Kai nodded. "Yes, I do know where they came from." Chapter 1025: I Am The City Lord of The Cosmos Edge Chapter 1025: I Am The City Lord of The Cosmos Edge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Where are they from?" Mo Wuji asked anxiously. Ni Kai let out a breath before speaking, "In fact, they seemed to be related to the people on our side. They could come here because of Demon Race''s Dao Lord Ce Hong and Sea Race''s Jiao Luan." Hearing the name of Demon Race''s Ce Hong, Mo Wuji instantly pictured a cultivator without eyebrows. That fella even coveted for Shuai Guo before but didn''t dare to attack after being rejected by Mo Wuji. "Those two b*stards Ce Hong and Jiao Luan were always unwilling to give up on God Precipice Continent''s void curse runes¡­" When Mo Wuji heard this, he instantly understood. Back then when he brought people to destroy Gods Race in God Precipice Continent, they discovered a massive void rune in Gods Race territory. Previously when they visited that, all of them felt dizzy and had their sea of consciousness muddled. "They opened my seal?" Mo Wuji became stern as he sounded unhappy. He was, after all, the Dao Lord and City Lord of Cosmos Edge yet Ce Hong and Jiao Luan actually dared to destroy his seal while he was not in Cosmos Edge? Mo Wuji wouldn''t mind if it was some ordinary seal but that seal imprint was likely to bring about some curse runes. Even so, Ce Hong and Jiao Luan dared to open it so evidently, they were dangerous people. Ni Kai nodded. "Not only did they open it up, they even used 100,000 people as a blood sacrifice to open that seal." "They used 100,000 cultivators of Gods Race for blood sacrifice?" Mo Wuji asked shockingly. Ni Kai shook his head, "There were not many cultivators of Gods Race in God Precipice Continent to begin with. Ce Hong and Jiao Luan secretly grabbed cultivators from the various races including my blood race and human race. They secretly captured these people in a hideout and followed Gods Race''s technique to open up that massive void rune." Immense killing intent surged up in Mo Wuji''s heart as all he wanted to do at this moment would be to kill those two b*stards. Ni Kai continued to speak. "After that massive void runes have been opened up, my guess is that they had obtained a lot of benefits. Furthermore, the two of them started learning some minor Curse Arts. Later on, it was a tragedy. In that rune, there was actually an extremely long distance transfer whirlpool. Eventually, a large number of Gods Race experts were transferred over from the transfer whirlpool. The moment they arrived, they murdered Jiao Luan. Ce Hong mentioned that he knew some minor Curse Arts and was willing to be the Gods Race''s lackey so he managed to keep his life. I suspect that the reason why Gods Race managed to kill their way into Cosmos Edge so quickly should be related to Ce Hong." Mo Wuji''s killing intent grew stronger by the seconds as he said to Ni Kai. "I want to go to Cosmos Edge. Are you coming with me or will you be staying here?" Ni Kai instantly grew hesitant. No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, Ni Kai believed that Mo Wuji shouldn''t be capable enough to deal with those Gods Race experts in Cosmos Edge. Before Ni Kai could answer, Lu Ziting stood in to respond. "Sect Head Mo, I will go with you. Even if I could only kill one ant of Gods Race, I want to collect some debts." Ape Mo didn''t say anything because it was guaranteed that he would follow Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said to Ni Kai, "Dao Friend Ni Kai, why don''t you stay here to help me look out for Cosmos Wall? The moment Cosmos Wall appears, may I ask Dao Friend to send me a message immediately." While speaking, Mo Wuji took out a communication bead for Ni Kai. Ni Kai accepted the communication bead before replying, "Dao Lord Mo, I will go with the few of you too. I, Ni Kai, am indeed slightly fearful of death but Gods Race had exterminated almost all of my Blood Race. If I choose to hide here, I am not worthy of being a member of Blood Race. As for the opening of Cosmos Wall, we would be able to know from Cosmos Edge. There is no need to wait here." "Alright, since this is the case, let''s go to Cosmos Edge together." Mo Wuji started heading towards the transfer array of Heaven''s Beyond Human Corridor. He had been here once so he was considered familiar with the place. The transfer array used from Cosmos Edge to Heaven''s Beyond Corridor was in perfect condition. Evidently, Gods Race''s cultivators had been here often and had no intention to destroy this transfer array. Mo Wuji threw out a pile of array flags as he protected this transfer array. He was already a Grade 5 God Array King so in just a short period of time, he was able to install a Grade 4 god array. Mo Wuji believed that as long as there were no God Monarchs, a Grade 4 god array should be able to stop a Heavenly God expert. After protecting the transfer array, Mo Wuji, Ape Mo and co. got onto the transfer array. Cosmos Edge and Heaven''s Beyond Corridor wasn''t very far apart so after a short travelling time, four of them landed on another piece of massive stone. It was still the same massive stone just like before. In front of it, there were two void stone paths. Back then when Mo Wuji was here, the words carved on the signboard on the side of the path were: Heaven''s Beyond Corridor Transfer Array. Now it was written as Gods Race''s Heaven''s Beyond Corridor Transfer Array. The only difference from previously was that there was nobody here to guard it. Clearly, Gods Race wasn''t too interested in this transfer array. Mo Wuji extended his hand and destroyed the signboard in an instant. He reconstructed another signboard without the word ''Gods Race'' in front. Having done these, Mo Wuji immediately set up an array surrounding the entire massive stone. He didn''t just install defensive arrays as he included some killing arrays as well as deathtrap arrays. Moreover, Mo Wuji didn''t just install Grade 4 deathtrap arrays but spent a little more time and effort to set up a Grade 5 god deathtrap array. In such a small space, Mo Wuji only needed half a day to set up a Grade 5 god deathtrap array. Once that was done, the four of them arrived at Cosmos Edge and had yet to see anyone. Many years ago, the once crowded and bustling Cosmos Edge was now like a dead city. "Could everyone here be slaughtered by Gods Race? And the people of Gods Race left right after that? It shouldn''t be like this right?" Ape Mo muttered to himself. He found it odd because even if Gods Race were to leave, they would have destroyed this place right? Mo Wuji''s spiritual will had already extended to within Cosmos Edge. Cosmos Edge was filled with nothing but deathly energy and corpses. However, because there were waves of god spiritual energy fluctuating, Mo Wuji knew that someone was cultivating here. The defensive array of Cosmos Edge was set up by him many years ago and there were not many changes to it. It should be because the cultivators of the Gods Race didn''t view the cultivators here as anything threatening so they didn''t bother strengthening it. Mo Wuji raised his hands and thousands of array flags flew out. Back then, he left some tricks on the defensive array and now that his array flags were out, the entire Cosmos Edge appeared right in front of the few of them. Besides the defensive array, there was suddenly one more trap array. This trap array was much more frightening than the previous defensive array. In a few seconds, Mo Wuji managed to casually set up a Grade 3 god deathtrap array. Some words were formed using countless skulls of cultivators and it read: Gods Race''s Cosmos Edge. A few survivors were basically seated on the ground like puppets. Every now and then, someone''s body would turn into blood fog. Even Lu Ziting was aware that Gods Race must have been cultivating some black sorcery. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will detected a strange fluctuation of the laws. This strange law was neither part of the five elements nor something he was familiar with. Ni Kai grunted, "These b*stards are really cultivating the Curse Arts. This is using the remaining cultivators to cultivate the Curse Arts." "Who dares to extend their spiritual will so brazenly in the territory of Gods Race? Die for me!" A stern voice could be heard and following that, a massive hand imprint was struck towards Mo Wuji and co. This fella couldn''t even be bothered to show his face. Evidently, he was treating Mo Wuji and co. like mere ants. Mo Wuji grunted as he threw out another tens of array flags. Concurrently, a hand imprint flew over as well. A devastating cry could be heard and a tall and white-faced man was thrown to the ground by Mo Wuji''s hand imprint which got hold of his neck. At the instant Mo Wuji threw him to the ground, this white-faced man''s spirit channels were instantly destroyed. "Whoosh!" Seven lights surged over and they landed right at the entrance of Cosmos Edge''s defensive array. The man standing in front was a green skin man. He stared nervously at Mo Wuji. "Who are you? Why are you able to come here?" Out of the seven people, four of them were Nascent Gods while three of them were Heavenly Gods. Mo Wuji could tell that these people were certainly not from this world domain. Those three Heavenly Gods had the aid of Heaven and Earth''s talisman so they managed to restrain their strength at Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage. The Nascent Gods cultivators didn''t have any sort of aid from the talisman. Mo Wuji understood now. It seemed like this place wasn''t completely without restraints of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. At the very least, it seemed like Heavenly Gods couldn''t come here and only Nascent Gods were able. If the Heavenly Gods were to come here, they must use a regulation talisman to restrain their cultivation level. Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao so none of these Laws of the Heaven and Earth would be of any effect to him. "Wuji, this was the man who chased after me many years ago¡­" Ape Mo finally reacted to the situation as he pointed to the white-faced man lying on the floor. Ape Mo was already very stunned when Mo Wuji was able to ambush Yu Nan previously. Even though Yu Nan was a God Monarch, who was many times stronger than this puny Nascent God in front of him, Ape Mo didn''t have any idea how strong a God Monarch was. Now that Mo Wuji had blatantly used his god elemental hand to kill an expert whom he failed to defend against previously, Ape Mo realised that Mo Wuji''s strength had greatly surpassed what he imagined. Ni Kai and Lu Ziting took in deep breaths of cold air. They knew that Mo Wuji should be strong but they didn''t expect him to be this powerful. An expert whom they couldn''t even defend head on was not even worthy to be called an ant in front of Mo Wuji. Just how strong was Mo Wuji? "I am the City Lord of Cosmos Edge." Mo Wuji''s mighty whirlpool domain extended outwards. As he spoke, his god elemental hand was sent out for the second time. The Nascent God, who was speaking earlier, also had no strength to fight back as he was grabbed by Mo Wuji. In the next moment, his entire body was pinched into a blood fog by Mo Wuji. Chapter 1026: Thundering Methods Chapter 1026: Thundering Methods Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "You killed Huang Huang¡­" When they saw that Nascent God being squashed to death my Mo Wuji''s elemental energy hand, the remaining Gods Race cultivators went pale. That oldest Heavenly God cultivator was so flustered that he started to mutter to himself. A few breaths of time passed before this oldest cultivator finally regained his countenance. He stared at Mo Wuji in shock, "You''re not a Nascent God, your cultivation hasn''t been restricted¡­" As he was speaking, this cultivator was scanning around for an escape path with his spiritual will. He had come to realise that he shouldn''t be worried about Huang Huang''s death, but for his own life. The Cosmos Edge''s defensive array was installed by Mo Wuji. The moment this Gods Race cultivator sent his spiritual will outwards, Mo Wuji was able to detect it Indeed, this oldest Heavenly God cultivator started to rapidly retreat after he found an escape path. At the same time, another Gods Race Heavenly God cultivator followed him in retreat. Mo Wuji stood on his spot. He simply released two punches. Two Domain Crushing Fists. These fists were like two scorching Suns capable of tearing through space. They whizzed through the air towards the two fleeing Heavenly Gods. These two Heavenly Gods'' cultivations had been restricted to the Great Circle of the Nascent God Stage due to their regulation talismans. When they sensed Mo Wuji''s Domain Crushing Fist, they did not think about defending against it. Instead, they tried to retreat with greater frenzy. They seemed to be very confident in their escape techniques. Mo Wuji didn''t chase after them. He couldn''t even be bothered to bring out his magic treasure. "Bang! Bang!" These two fleeing Heavenly Gods seemed to slam against an invisible wall; they were unable to move any further. These two Heavenly Gods would never be able to notice Mo Wuji''s void array runes. At the next instant, the two Domain Crushing Fists landed on the two Heavenly God cultivators. Two mists of blood exploded. Except for that white-faced cultivator caught by Mo Wuji''s elemental hand, three of the seven Gods Race cultivators were eliminated in the blink of an eye. The remaining Heavenly God and three Nascent Gods looked at Mo Wuji with ashen faces. They had killed countless people from other races. When it was time for time to be killed, they finally felt fear. "You can''t kill us. We''re from the true Gods Race. In our Gods Race, not only do we have countless supreme God Kings, we also have many Unity Gods¡­ If you wipe us out, even though they''re many worlds away, the experts of our Gods Race will still come after you. As long as you don''t kill us, we can swear a soul oath¡­" That remaining Heavenly God cried out anxiously. Before Mo Wuji could say anything, a voice broke through the air sharply, "Brother Mo, don''t listen to him. None of his words is true¡­" "Ce Hong, you b*stard thing, you still dare to show yourself." When he saw who was the one speaking, Ni Kai shouted harshly. If not for those Gods Race experts that were still alive, Ni Kai would have charged in front to kill Ce Hong. Mo Wuji had detected Ce Hong a long time ago with his spiritual will. In his eyes, Ce Hong was already a dead man. "Brother Mo, back then, Jiao Luan coveted the Curse Arts, which was why he wanted to tear apart the defensive array that Brother Mo had laid down. It was truly hateful that I had been possessed by his words and I followed him to tear apart your seals, releasing the Gods Race''s curse runes." Ce Hong seemed to be very agitated. He said all these words in a single breath. Noticing that Mo Wuji didn''t have any expressions on his face, nor any intentions of attacking, Ce Hong sighed in relief. He knew that an expert like Mo Wuji would definitely lust over peak-grade sacred arts. As long as he mentioned the Curse Arts, he would have a chance to survive. After saying those words, Ce Hong caught his breath and continued slowly, "It was too late for regrets. Fortunately, we obtained the Curse Arts and I have thoroughly memorised it. The reason why the Gods Race cultivators hadn''t killed me was because they wanted my Curse Arts. I had always been trying to find ways to kill these beasts. However, I was helpless with my inferior cultivation. I could only use my Curse Arts to exchange for some time¡­" "Are you done?" Mo Wuji looked emotionlessly towards Ce Hong. "Ah¡­" Ce Hong didn''t understand the meaning behind Mo Wuji''s words. He promptly added, "A thing like the Curse Arts definitely couldn''t be given to the Gods Race. It''s truly too strong. I''ve decided to pass the Curse Arts to Brother Mo¡­" "If you''re done, then you can die." Mo Wuji opened his hand and an elemental hand grabbed towards Ce Hong. Thereafter, he formed another ten void runes and he threw a flame into those runes. Ce Hong''s cried out miserably, "Mo Wuji, the Curse Arts is definitely the top sacred art in the entire universe. Don''t tell me you don''t want such a sacred art¡­" Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered with Ce Hong''s words. This fella had brought the Gods Race over, resulting in the deaths of millions of people. It would be weird if he spared such a person. Within the flames, Ce Hong''s cries became increasingly miserable and shrill. Ni Kai subconsciously shivered. Those years ago, Mo Wuji had killed several Dao Emperors and Grand Emperors in Cosmos Edge. Since then, Ni Kai knew that Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t a soft-hearted person. Looking at the cruel way that Mo Wuji was killing Ce Hong, he was secretly glad that he hadn''t coveted the Great Curse Arts. Otherwise, if he managed to survive the Gods Race cultivators, he would currently be burning within those flames. The surviving Gods Race cultivators looked at this scene with trepidations in their hearts. Even the fella that tried to use the Gods Race to threaten Mo Wuji did not continue speaking. Mo Wuji''s gaze swept across the group of them, "This time, there are several people from the Gods Race that came over. Besides the group of you, is there anyone else?" That Heavenly God clasped his fists towards Mo Wuji and said, "This Dao Friend should have come from the God World. I''m willing to reveal everything, I only request¡­" Mo Wuji said coldly, "Your hands are stained with the blood of the innocent. You have no rights to make any requests. Are you going to speak or not?" This Heavenly God cultivator''s heart trembled. After which, he simply decided to close his mouth and keep silent. Mo Wuji opened his hand once more. His powerful whirlpool domain wrapped around this Heavenly God cultivator, throwing him beside the howling Ce Hong. The terrifying flames surged towards him. Another voice joined the anguished howls. This Heavenly God immediately tore apart his regulation talisman. The pressure from the Laws of the Heaven and Earth pressed down on him. His body directly crumbled into pieces. Before his primordial spirit could emerge, the flames swept over, burning him into nothingness. Staring at the frightened Gods Race cultivators, Mo Wuji said coldly, "To the one who is willing to answer me honestly, I will give him a swift death. And at the same time, he would have a chance to reincarnate¡­" "Senior, I can answer you¡­" The Gods Race cultivator that was first grabbed by Mo Wuji eagerly said when he heard those words. "Senior, I can also answer you¡­" Another Gods Race cultivator cried out anxiously. The remaining two looked at one another. As they were hesitating, Mo Wuji''s elemental hand had already grabbed them. "Wait, Senior, I can also answer you¡­" One of the Nascent Gods cried out in shock. "Too late." As he was speaking, Mo Wuji had already thrown the two of them into the flames. Seemingly knowing that Mo Wuji was out of patience, that white-faced Gods Race cultivator hurriedly said, "Senior, there were a total of 10 of us that came. Among which, one of us had been overzealous when cultivating the Curse Arts and his soul was destroyed. Another person heard that there were Black Spatial Fruits in Oblique Space Sea Island, so he went over." Mo Wuji''s heart jolted. He naturally knew how valuable the Black Spatial Fruits in Oblique Space Sea Island were. The Black Spatial Fruits could definitely be named as Dao Fruits. This was because each fruit contained a strand of the Laws of Space. Ape Mo said disdainfully, "Even if his cultivation was stronger, he wouldn''t be able to break into Oblique Space Sea Island." Mo Wuji nodded. He did agree with Ape Mo''s words. If Oblique Space Sea Island didn''t open by itself, it was definitely hard for an external force to try and open it. At the very least, Mo Wuji believed that a Heavenly God wouldn''t be able to open it. What more a Heavenly God that had been restrained with a regulation talisman? "I''m worried that this person would get wind of what happened and flee. And by the time Sect Head Mo leaves, this Gods Race cultivator would re-emerge and cause havoc," Lu Ziting said worriedly. By this time, the howling Ce Hong and two Gods Race cultivators had already been turned into ashes. Mo Wuji opened his palm and slaughtered these two remaining Nascent Gods. After which, he said, "There''s no need to worry. Ape Mo, you, Sect Head Lu and Dao Friend Ni Kai can consolidate our powers here in Cosmos Edge. There''s still a lot of surviving cultivators here. Now that I have killed the Gods Race cultivators that were using the Curse Arts, those cultivators will be able to recover from their curse. I need to hurry back to the curse runes at Gods Precipice Continent and find some ways to seal it up." Mo Wuji said nonchalantly. Ni Kai anxiously said, "Brother Mo, what if that Gods Race cultivator that went to Oblique Space Sea Island comes back? What do we do?" "Da Huang, you and Shuai Guo will stay here. If that Gods Race cultivator comes back, the two of you will try and find some ways to tie him down." Mo Wuji called Da Huang and Shuai Guo out. Da Huang was already at Nascent God Level 9 while Shuai Guo was at Nascent God Level 5. The two of them would definitely be able to defend against a Nascent God cultivator. "My lord, you can rest assured. If that Gods Race ant comes, I definitely won''t let him escape," Shuai Guo patted his chest. Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered with this fella. He hurriedly gave some instructions to Ape Mo and co., then he disappeared with his Wind Escape Technique. Ni Kai was worried but he did not feel right suspecting Shuai Guo''s and Da Huang''s capabilities. Lu Ziting, on the other hand, didn''t think too much about this. He had already hastened towards Cosmos Edge. There were still many Human Race survivors there. ¡­ Not long after Mo Wuji left, a silver light sped into Cosmos Edge. At this time, Ni Kai and co. had only just arrived into Cosmos Edge as well. Lu Ziting didn''t even have time to start rallying the surviving cultivators. "What''s the matter?" The silver light landed. A tall male cultivator with long hair appeared. He stared questioningly at Lu Ziting and co. At the same time, he sent his spiritual will outwards. What happened to the energy from the Curse Arts? Where did his Gods Race comrades go off to? Ni Kai said anxiously, "It''s that fella that went to Oblique Space Sea Island. Dao Friend Ape Mo, hurry and send a message to City Lord Mo¡­" Chapter 1027: You Are Mo Wuji? Chapter 1027: You Are Mo Wuji? Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "There''s no need. With me, Da Huang, here, why would we need my lord to personally intervene?" Da Huang had already charged forward and thrown a punch towards this Gods Race cultivator. Da Huang cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique as well. Although he had few opportunities to fight, his body was formed from Phecda Clay. Thus, he had the innate abilities for combat. Feeling Da Huang''s power late-stage Nascent God Domain, this Gods Race cultivator cried out in shock, "You''re a Nascent God. How could you be a Nascent God?" This Gods Race cultivator''s domain was directly torn apart. Although Da Huang''s Domain Crushing Fist could not be compared to Mo Wuji, with Mo Wuji''s guidance, it was definitely a true sacred art. This Gods Race cultivator had already brought out his magic treasure. Just as he summoned all his energy to block against Da Huang''s Domain Crushing Fist, Shuai Guo shouted by the side, "There''s also me¡­" Shuai Guo didn''t even care about his surroundings. He directly jumped into the battle. Its sharp beak went open and it started sucking. What shocked this Gods Race cultivator was that he actually saw that a huge part of his domain being sucked away by Da Huang. His domain, which had originally started to collapse because of Da Huang''s fist, was now even weaker. There was actually a demonic beast that could eat domains in this universe? What kind of thing was that? "Boom!" Da Huang''s second fist had already come over. This Gods Race cultivator''s domain could no longer hold back. He could only use his magic treasure to try and defend against Da Huang. At this moment, Shuai Guo''s sharp beak pierced through his armour, stabbing into his skin. Suddenly, this Gods Race cultivator felt his vitality disappearing rapidly. An aura of death loomed over him. He was so afraid that his soul started to quiver. What exactly was this beast? Why was it like a mosquito? ¡­ This was Mo Wuji''s second visit to Gods Precipice Cliff. Back when he sealed the runes, he only felt an intense sensation of decay and death. Now, his seal had disappeared and a huge gap hole had appeared in the middle of the runes. Boundless corpses laid by the side. Although many of these corpses were already turning into dust, Mo Wuji could still feel a sinister aura from them. Clearly, there was still curse energy left over. It seems like his previous guess was right. These were indeed curse runes. Around the broken runes, Mo Wuji saw several void array runes. These array runes were enigmatic and complicated. At the same time, they were extremely complete. Mo Wuji was a person who took part in the installing of a Grade 7 god transfer array. Moreover, he also knew how to inscribe void array runes. Although he didn''t understand these array runes, he could tell that they were definitely transfer array runes. Back then, his guess was right. There was an extreme-distance transfer array here. Just from these array runes alone, he could tell that the transfer distance definitely wouldn''t be short. Deep within these array runes, there was some energy which even caused Mo Wuji''s heart to palpitate. He did not intend to study it further. Since he had come here, the first thing he needed to do was to get rid of these transfer array runes. After which, he would need to seal this place. With his current capabilities, he could not prepare such transfer array runes. However, it was still possible for him to destroy it. Just as Mo Wuji was prepared to attack, the transfer array runes suddenly began to flicker with white light. Mo Wuji instantly knew that someone was coming and he immediately prepared himself to destroy the array runes. As long as he destroyed the transfer array runes here, there would be a problem with the transfer. The person being transferred might even be left to die within the space in between. However, Mo Wuji immediately stopped himself. If the transfer array runes were destroyed during a transfer, the other side would definitely know that something had gone wrong here. More importantly, Mo Wuji believed that with his cultivation, he didn''t even need to fear any of the Gods Race cultivators that came over. With the Laws of the Heaven and Earth helping him, there was nothing he needed to be afraid of. As the white light flashed, a bloodied cultivator suddenly appeared within the transfer array runes. Before Mo Wuji could do anything, this bloodied cultivator had already activated two talismans. Currently, Mo Wuji was a Grade 3 God Talisman Master. Also, he possessed the Sage Dao Talisman. Thus, Mo Wuji could immediately tell that one of the talismans was a regulation talisman while the other was an explosive talisman. That regulation talisman was a Grade 5 god talisman. Although this talisman didn''t have attack or defence abilities, it was extremely valuable. Only top-class Grade 5 God Talisman Kings could craft them. Even though this cultivator moved quickly, the Laws of the Heaven and Earth still tore his bones apart, leaving him paralysed on the floor. Fortunately, his talisman took effect in time before his body started to collapse. The explosive talisman didn''t explode immediately. This cultivator struggled to swallow some healing pills, then he shouted at Mo Wuji hoarsely, "Why aren''t you retreating? This place is about to explode." Mo Wuji didn''t move. These void array runes definitely couldn''t be destroyed by a mere Grade 4 explosive array. If he didn''t understand void array runes, he might not necessarily be able to destroy them even with his Kun Wu Sword. Seeing that Mo Wuji was ignoring him, this cultivator could no longer be bothered with Mo Wuji. He hurriedly retreated to safety. At the same time, he whipped out a defensive-type treasure. "Boom!" The explosive talisman exploded. Indeed, it was as Mo Wuji predicted. The instant the explosive talisman exploded, a faint shield appeared around the void array runes, blocking away all the destructive force from the talisman. There wasn''t even a single impact on the void array runes. At this time, Mo Wuji''s spirit storage channel started to inscribe void explosive array runes around these void transfer array runes. It was hard to install an array but it was easy to destroy one. Mo Wuji''s explosive array runes destroyed one of the transfer array runes. This was equivalent to destroying the entire transfer array. Unless a top-class array expert came to mend that destroyed void transfer array rune, this transfer array could not be used. "Just like that?" The injured cultivator stopped in his tracks and he stared blankly at where his explosive talisman just ignited. After some time, he consoled himself, "That transfer array should be destroyed. Otherwise, they would have chased over by now." It''s true that the transfer array was destroyed. However, Mo Wuji knew that it wasn''t due to this fella''s explosive talisman but his own void array runes. Mo Wuji started to size this injured fella up. Before this person''s regulation talisman activated, Mo Wuji had sensed his cultivation. He should be in the early God Monarch Stage. Currently, his cultivation had been restricted to the Nascent God Stage. Mo Wuji had killed many Gods Race cultivators. Gods Race cultivators had a certain aura about them. This fella shouldn''t be a Gods Race cultivator. "Don''t just look at my injuries. In reality, if I want to kill you, I only need to use one finger. So don''t have any weird ideas." As he was speaking, this injured cultivator used a dust-removing technique, expelling the blood and grime from his body. A thick-browed, big-eared and unique-faced person appeared in front of Mo Wuji. "Where are you from?" Mo Wuji casually asked. This person clearly wasn''t a bloodthirsty person. And even if he was a bloodthirsty person, he wasn''t speaking blindly. If he saw Mo Wuji as an Immortal Emperor, he could indeed kill Mo Wuji in seconds. "Some rotten place where some bunch of bastards live. All those bastards think that they are at the top of the universe and that they can control the primordial chaos. What a wretched place. Let me introduce myself, my name is Jing Xinjue. I come from a place called God Domain. Don''t be mistaken, God Domain isn''t that rotten place." This injured cultivator introduced himself. Clearly, he didn''t view Mo Wuji as a threat. Although Jing Xinjue didn''t say where that rotten place was, Mo Wuji could guess that it was where the Gods Race lived. This Jing Xinjue was really not bad. He actually managed to enter the lands of the Gods Race and he even escaped using their transfer array. "I''m Mo Wuji," Mo Wuji casually said. Perhaps the healing drugs were taking effect, this Jing Xinjue''s injuries looked better. He stood up and said, "Let me tell you, I just helped you out just now. I heard from those Gods Race bastards that this was a lower realm? Those Gods Race bastards are all cold-blooded trash. They simply wish to slaughter all the other races in the universe. If I hadn''t destroyed that transfer array, you guys would be screwed. This entire realm would be refined by them." Jing Xinjue seemed to notice that Mo Wuji didn''t look at his words highly. He harrumphed, "Indeed, the kind isn''t repaid with kindness. Forget it, you wouldn''t understand it even if I told you¡­ Eh, what did you call yourself? Mo Wuji?" Mo Wuji nodded, "That''s right. I am Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t find it weird for Jing Xinjue to have heard his name. He had come from God Domain as well. Moreover, back in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, he had slaughtered a bunch of genius disciples. Jing Xinjue seemed to forget that he was fleeing not long ago and that he still had heavy injuries. He began to gabble unceasingly, "In God Domain, there''s also a genius called Mo Wuji. When that fella was in the early Nascent God Stage, he faced the encirclement of 49 Nascent Gods and several Heavenly Gods. Ultimately, he massacred all of them. Oh, I think one escaped. Pretty impressive, right¡­ If that''s not enough, several God Kings tried to hunt him but they could only return empty-handed. They didn''t even know where he escaped to. Oh right, do you know of the Nascent God Stage? Your cultivation should be the Immortal Emperor Stage, right? The Laws of Heaven and Earth around this place are broken. Thus, you probably wouldn''t have a chance to step into the Nascent God Stage. Let me tell you, the Nascent God Stage comes after the Great Circle of the Heavenly God Stage. After which, Great Circle Nascent Gods would condense their god lattice before stepping into the Heavenly God Stage. Do you understand now? I have a junior sister called Qu You. She is a person that was regarded as the number one beauty in the entire God Domain. This Mo Wuji is her dao companion¡­" Mo Wuji stared blankly at Jing Xinjue. It was true that he had killed several Nascent Gods and Heavenly Gods. But since when was Qu You his dao companion? However, he did find out that this Jing Xinjue was from the Forgotten Creek Dao School. Only those from that school would address Qu You as a junior sister. "Dao Friend Jing, you can come here but you can''t simply spout nonsense. I''m not dao companions with that Qu You," Mo Wuji said speechlessly. When he heard Mo Wuji''s words, Jing Xinjue went still. Immediately, he pointed at Mo Wuji and said in a trembling voice, "You, you are Mo Wuji?" Mo Wuji remained silent. He had already introduced himself as Mo Wuji. Chapter 1028: Re-entering The Cosmos Wall Chapter 1028: Re-entering The Cosmos Wall Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Right, right, you are Mo Wuji." Before Mo Wuji replied, Jing Xinjue waved his hand awkwardly. "Junior Brother Mo, Qu You calls me Senior Brother, so I will address you as my Junior Brother. That, I view you with¡­ Erm, I''m very envious of you¡­" Mo Wuji could only say, "You wanted to say respect, right?" "Right, and also envy. I also liked Junior Sister Qu You. However, after hearing the matter between you and Qu You, I immediately set my eyes on a different junior sister¡­" Mo Wuji hurriedly stopped Jing Xinjue from speaking any further. He didn''t think that this fella could actually be so talkative. Moreover, this fella was an expert that had already stepped into the God Monarch Stage. "Brother Jing, I''ve already said this previously. Qu You and I are only acquaintances. Moreover, I already have a dao companion." Mo Wuji felt that it would be hard to convince such a garrulous person. Jing Xinjue slapped Mo Wuji''s elbow and chuckled, "Junior Brother Mo, who are you trying to kid? If she wasn''t your dao companion, why would you give the Primal God Lattice to her? Moreover, it would be weird if a person like you didn''t have a dao companion or two in the lower worlds." Jing Xinjue wasn''t the only person who had such thoughts. In fact, anyone else would think the same. This was the Primal God Lattice. If Mo Wuji didn''t like Qu You down to her bones, would he have given her the Primal God Lattice? Mo Wuji could only change the topic, "Let''s not talk about this. How did you come here?" When Jing Xinjue heard that Mo Wuji was asking him how he got to the Gods Race, he instantly started to gabble unceasingly, "Wuji, I realise didn''t expect that you would flee to a lower world. No wonder why God King Salt Pavilion was unable to find you. Let me tell you, after you left, there were multiple incubations of God Domain''s God Domain Nest. In the most recent incubated God Domain Nest, we made contact with those Gods Race bastards. Those bastards think that they''re the most esteemed ants in the entire universe. They killed everyone that they laid their eyes on. This time, almost all the genius disciples that went to the newly incubated God Domain Nest were massacred. I had also gone into the God Domain Nest. Fortunately, I have a unique sacred art which allows me to change my aura. I changed my aura to that of a Gods Race cultivator and I managed to mix in with their lower-levelled cultivators¡­" This fella was truly a natural socialiser. He went from Junior Brother Mo to addressing Mo Wuji by his name so smoothly. "Then were those God Race cultivators blocked?" Even though Mo Wuji knew the answer, he still wanted to verify it. Spittle seemed to splatter out of Jing Xinjue''s mouth as he said, "Those Gods Race bastards definitely have a talent for cultivation. The Laws of Heaven and Earth over their land do not seem as complete as our God Domain, however, they still have experts which transcend the God King Stage. Moreover, within the same cultivation stage, those bastards are extremely powerful. Still, the Heavens do not wish for God Domain to be destroyed. At this moment, the transfer array between God Domain and the land across the Nirvana Ocean, God Continent, was completed. The Unity Gods from God Continent came over and chased the Gods Race out of God Continent. Now, the two sides are facing off at the fringes of the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Every day, countless cultivators from God Domain and God Continent are killed. Of course, we also kill many Gods Race cultivators every day." "Then how did you get here?" Mo Wuji asked. Jing Xinjue seemed to have lingering fears as he said, "I was hiding secretly among the low-levelled Gods Race cultivators and I continuously looked for a chance to go back to God Domain. I didn''t expect that before I could escape, some bitch discovered me. This woman looked like a vixen, she even started to smell me. This woman seemed to like me but the moment she discovered that I was a cultivator from God Domain, she immediately started shouting¡­" Seemingly celebrating that he had escaped with his little life, Jing Xinjue slowed down and continued, "Back then, no one noticed me and I had only just broken through to the God Monarch Stage. Thus, I frantically escaped. Along the way, I got injured and I almost didn''t manage to flee. Fortunately, I had the foresight to prepare a peak-grade escape talisman. My talisman actually brought me to some Gods Race secret domain. There, I saw this transfer array. At that time, a Gods Race cultivator was preparing to use the transfer array. I immediately kicked him away. Just as I stepped on the transfer array, it was activated. You know the rest of the story." "Wait for me. I will completely destroy this transfer array before we continue." Mo Wuji was secretly praising Jing Xinjue''s good luck. As he spoke, he walked towards the transfer array runes and started to inscribe his own void array runes. "There''s no need. I have already destroyed this transfer array with my explosive talisman," Jing Xinjue waved his hand casually when he saw Mo Wuji walk over. Mo Wuji could only explain the truth, "That Grade 4 explosive talisman of yours is unable to destroy that transfer array. This transfer array isn''t a traditional transfer array, but one made from void array runes. Typical methods wouldn''t be enough to destroy it." "That means to say, you were the one that did something previously?" Jing Xinjue finally realised what Mo Wuji was saying. "That''s right." Mo Wuji continuously drew void array runes. He could only sense the void transfer array runes. However, because they were too enigmatic, he was unable to comprehend them. Either way, Mo Wuji knew that it was enough for him to destroy the runes. Looking as Mo Wuji continuously drew runes which he was unable to even detect and hearing the sounds of explosions, Jing Xinjue knew that he had truly been overthinking things previously. Fortunately, he was open-minded and did not care too much about such things. After destroying multiple void transfer array runes, Mo Wuji started to prepare a seal. This time, Mo Wuji spent an entire day to install a Grade 5 sealing array. He even planted a high-grade god spiritual vein to provide god spiritual energy. With a seal of such a degree, even a God King would be stalled for a long time. If this God King was careless, he might even be killed. Jing Xinjue did not understand the Array Dao but this did not mean that he was inexperienced. As Mo Wuji was installing the sealing array, he sighed, "Wuji, I didn''t think that your Array Dao would be so strong. No wonder why you are able to escape here and why such an amazing person like Junior Sister Qu You would like you." By now, Mo Wuji had a rough understanding of Jing Xinjue''s character. He did not respond to Jing Xinjue''s words. Only after completing the sealing array, Mo Wuji asked, "Brother Jing, what do you intend to do now?" Jing Xinjue spread his hands and said helplessly, "I also don''t know what I should do. My regulation talisman definitely doesn''t last forever. The day that my regulation talisman shatters, I would shatter along with it¡­" As he said this, Jing Xinjue suddenly thought of something. He stared at Mo Wuji in delight and said, "Wuji, you also came from God Domain. You definitely have some way to return back to God Domain, right? I will follow you." "Brother Jing¡­" "There''s no need to call me Brother Jing. Just call me Xinjue. You are Qu You''s dao companion and I am Qu You''s Senior Brother. We are basically family. On account of Junior Sister Qu You, you need to help me." Mo Wuji could only remain silent. Explaining to a person like Jing Xinjue would only make things more complicated. ¡­ By the time Mo Wuji brought Jing Xinjue back to Cosmos Edge, all the surviving cultivators already knew what happened and they were all extremely grateful to Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not see any familiar faces, nor did he have any intentions of staying in Cosmos Edge. On the other hand, Shuai Guo''s actions of sucking the Gods Race Great Circle Nascent God dry had left Mo Wuji with a pleasant surprise. Ever since Shuai Guo became a godbeast, it had never personally gotten into any battles. In this battle, Mo Wuji could finally see the ferocity of this fierce bug. Indeed, the bloodline of the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito was amazing. Shuai Guo was only in Nascent God Level 5 but he was able to easily suck a Great Circle Nascent God. No wonder why a Bloodthirsty Black Mosquito was even able to devour a Xiantian treasure. "Sect Head Mo, you are returning back to the Immortal World? Lu Ziting asked nervously. He had left the Immortal World for many years. In his heart, he had some yearning for his Revolving Soul Dao. With Mo Wuji''s current power, he should be able to tear apart the seal between Cosmos Edge and the Very High Heavens. Mo Wuji did indeed want to go to the Immortal World. However, the place he wanted to go to more was the Cosmos Wall. He turned to face Ni Kai, "Dao Friend Ni Kai, how long more till the Cosmos Wall opens?" When he heard Mo Wuji''s question, Ni Kai hesitated briefly before saying, "Back when Dao Friend Lu and I were in Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, the Cosmos Wall opened twice. The two of us were too weak and we were completely unable to reach the top. According to my experience, it will not be more than three days till the Cosmos Wall opens again." Hearing that there were only three days till the Cosmos Wall opens, Mo Wuji directly gave up his idea of returning to the Immortal World. He took out a World Rending Talisman and handed it to Lu Ziting, "Sect Head Lu, I need to take a look at the Cosmos Wall. You can use the World Rending Talisman to return to the Immortal World. If my Ping Fan Immortal School is in any trouble, I seek Sect Head Lu''s help to solve them." Mo Wuji didn''t have any World Rending Talismans from the God World to the Immortal World. However, he did have a whole pile of World Rending Talismans from Cosmos Edge to the Immortal World. As for Cen Shuyin''s matter, Lu Ziting naturally heard a little about it. He understood Mo Wuji''s thinking. After accepting the World Rending Talisman, Lu Ziting said, "Sect Head Mo, rest assured. As long as I return to the Immortal World, Ping Fan Immortal School''s matters are my, Lu Ziting''s, matters." Even though Mo Wuji really wanted to return to the Immortal World and even Zhen Xing, he still curbed his thoughts. After biding farewell to Lu Ziting, he had Shuai Guo and Da Huang return back to his Mortal World while he hurriedly brought Jing Xinjue to Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. This Cosmos Wall opens in frequencies of years. Sometimes, it might only open after decades. Mo Wuji did not want to miss this chance. Ni Kai had been living in Cosmos Edge for countless years. His judgement was right. In two days, a huge black whirlpool appeared about Heaven''s Beyond Corridor. Several junk god herbs and low-grade god crystal shavings feel out of the hole. Mo Wuji sighed emotionally. Those years ago, how many people were here fighting for materials? Now, there was only Jing Xinjue and him. Moreover, the two of them were too lazy to pick up such low-grade resources. "This is the Cosmos Wall? The universe is truly filled with anomalies¡­" Jing Xinjue sighed when he saw this Cosmos Wall. Mo Wuji looked at the black hole and said, "I intend to enter this Cosmos Wall. Even I do not know where this Cosmos Wall will lead to. Thus, it might be dangerous. If¡­" Before Mo Wuji could finish speaking, Jing Xinjue cut him off, "Wuji, do I, Jing Xinjue, look like a person who''s afraid of death? Moreover, there''s a strand of hope in this Cosmos Edge. If I don''t go in, I would only be waiting for my death here." Chapter 1029: Furnace of the Heaven and Earth Chapter 1029: Furnace of the Heaven and Earth Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations "Alright, then Brother Jing will follow behind me." With that, Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and he directly charged into the black hole. Jing Xinjue did not fall behind; he followed Mo Wuji and charged into the Cosmos Wall. Mo Wuji had entered the Cosmos Wall before. He knew that this was a tangible passage which was vast and broad. When he entered, he faced a powerful force of expulsion. Back then, he managed to reach a considerable height, but he was ultimately expelled out of the Cosmos Wall. This was Mo Wuji''s second visit to the Cosmos Wall. Indeed, there were some slight differences as compared to his first visit. Firstly, there were fewer low tiered god herbs and green crystals. Secondly, the expulsive force had become weaker. There''s no need to talk about how he was already at Heavenly God Level 2. Even if he was a Grand Luo Immortal, he would still be able to easily sail through this expulsive force. This expulsive force was nothing to Mo Wuji and Jing Xinjue. The two of them felt as though they were flying through ordinary space; they moved extremely quickly. However, this Cosmos Wall seemed to be interminable. Mo Wuji and Jing Xinjue felt as though they had been flying for days but their spiritual wills were still unable to detect an end. In the beginning, Mo Wuji was slightly anxious. After ten days, Mo Wuji regained his calm. After waving goodbye to Jing Xinjue, he activated his Wind Escape Technique and disappeared into the winds. Seeing that Mo Wuji could actually move faster, Jing Xinjue''s eyes lit up. At the same time, he whipped out a stimulation talisman. His figure flashed and his speed became as fast as Mo Wuji. Another tens days passed. Mo Wuji''s eyes shone as his body emerged from a god spiritual energy whirlpool. The moment he landed on hard ground, Mo Wuji knew that he had either returned to God Domain or God Continent. The Laws of the Heaven and Earth here were definitely not those of a lower world. This Cosmos Wall was truly mystical; Mo Wuji wondered exactly who was the one who built it. Before Mo Wuji could accurately determine his location, he was stunned by a huge pill furnace. This pill furnace was at least 30,000 meters tall and tens of thousands of meters wide. It had three feet and its two ears were like winding rivers. Mo Wuji felt like an ant beneath this behemoth-like pill furnace. If not for his spiritual will, he wouldn''t even be able to see this pill furnace in its entirety. Multiple ancient words were engraved on the exterior of the pill furnace: "Heaven and Earth as the Furnace, Fortune as the Labour! Yin and Yang as the Charcoal, All Objects as the Copper." Although "engraved" was used, it was more accurate to say that those words were born together with the pill furnace. There were no scars of engraving and the words seemed to be a complete set with the furnace. "It''s the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth¡­" Jing Xinjue''s shocked voice resounded. He landed beside Mo Wuji. "What''s the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. As he was speaking, he came to realise why low tiered god herbs were continuously thrown down Cosmos Edge. This was because there were ten plots of huge god spiritual herb gardens around the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. There were various arrays installed around the gardens. After some time, the god herbs in these gardens would be swept up by these arrays and sent into the Furnace. The Furnace would then expel the dregs. Those expelled dregs were then sent into an array passage. This passage was the passage which led to Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, the same one that Mo Wuji and Jing Xinjue had just emerged from. Clearly, one could only come up through the passage. Going in other direction was not possible. This was because after they emerged, Mo Wuji could no longer sense the Cosmos Wall. As for the green crystal shavings, it seems like they were the leftover dregs after the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth absorbed the Laws and god spiritual energy from the god crystals in the surroundings. What left Mo Wuji feeling slightly pitiable was that the god herbs in those gardens were horribly low in tier. There wasn''t even half a strand of a good o e. "I didn''t think that I would actually see the Furnace of Heaven and Earth from legends. This is truly a great fortune, a great fortune¡­" Jing Xinjue was completely bubbling with joy. He didn''t even notice Mo Wuji''s question. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will swept outwards. There was no one else here. In front of him, there was also a huge pool. This pool was completely empty. Sensing that there was still a rich pill fragrance within this pool, Mo Wuji stepped in. After scanning carefully with his spiritual will, he picked out a pill fragment from a corner of the pool. "This is the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill concocted by the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. What a huge pool, what a huge pool¡­" Jing Xinjue also jumped into the pill pool. However, he only said one complete sentence before continuously muttering to himself: "What a huge pool." "What ''What a huge pool?''" Mo Wuji said in slight displeasure. This fella''s words were like goat shit'' they came one at a time. Jing Xinjue finally regained his countenance. He looked at Mo Wuji and spoke with a sob, "Wuji, this was a huge pool of Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. To think that those bastards that came first took them all way. They didn''t even leave a single one for this Lord Jing¡­" Noticing the way that Mo Wuji was looking at him, "Jing Xinjue forcefully repressed his inner disappointment and envy at those that took away the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill. He explained, "The Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill can only be concocted by the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. This sort of pill is formed by gathering countless god herbs. These god herbs are from different varieties; they can be high tiered and low tiered¡­ Do you see those herb gardens? The herbs in those gardens would be swept away by the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. Then the Laws of the Heaven and Earth and the purest spiritual energy would be mixed into them to form the Pills. Those crystal fragments that we previously saw in the Cosmos Wall weren''t true crystal fragments. Instead, they are trash crystals expelled from the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth after concocting the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. Those fragments contain impurities and they do not have complete Laws. The Furnace of the Heaven and Earth is the only furnace which can refine Laws." After hearing Jing Xinjue''s words, Mo Wuji finally realised that the green crystals that he used to fight for were simply useless residues of the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. Clearly, those herbs thrown away were also rubbish to this Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. Mo Wuji placed that pill fragment into his mouth. Instantly, a sense of clarity towards the Laws of the Heaven and Earth struck him. With just that single pill fragment, Mo Wuji felt his cultivation stabilising by a bit. This was truly good stuff. Looking at the empty pool in front of him, Mo Wuji could imagine how fortunate that fella who took all the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills was. Reaching the God King Stage definitely wasn''t a problem. In fact, it wouldn''t be weird for the pills in this pond to allow that fella to surpass the Unity God Stage. "After the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth sucks those god herbs in, they will grow again after some time because of the god spiritual vein. However, as time passes, the tiers of the god herbs would become increasingly low. Those bastards that took the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill definitely took the best stuff. Their futures are immeasurable." When he heard Jing Xinjue''s words, Mo Wuji could not help but be worried about Cen Shuyin. Cen Shuyin had also been here. If she saw such Law Pills, she would definitely have fought for them. However, her cultivation was still very low. If she met with an expert, she would be placed in danger. Not noticing Mo Wuji''s worry, Jing Xinjue continued, "It''s bad enough that those bastards took away those Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. They actually extracted all the god spiritual veins here. This is too cruel. They didn''t even leave behind a single spoonful of soup for the rest of us who came later." After Jing Xinjue finished his angry rant, he removed his regulation talisman. Regardless of what happened, he was still slightly happy that he finally returned to God World. "Then why is this Furnace of the Heaven and Earth still here?" Mo Wuji looked at this huge furnace and asked questioningly. Jing Xinjue snorted coldly, "They would need some capabilities to take it away. No storage ring can store the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. Even Xiantian treasures cannot hope to envelop the Furnace. This is something born from the Heaven the Earth. In your eyes, this Furnace looks tens of thousands of meters high, right? But in reality, if the Furnace is fully extended, it would be as huge as a world. This is just the Furnace''s mini form. Previously, I always thought that the Furnace of Heaven and Earth was only a myth. I can''t believe that I would actually see it today. Unfortunately, I''m unable to enter the Furnace. Otherwise, I would have definitely entered to take a look. I''m sure that this set-up was prepared by a person. That person also couldn''t take away the Furnace, which was why he prepared everything here. I wonder whether this person has reached the end of his longevity and entered the cycle of reincarnation." Mo Wuji suspected that his spirit storage channel''s spiritual will might actually be able to enter the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. However, he didn''t do that. Instead, he continuously threw out array flags. At the same time, he started to inscribe multiple shift-type array runes. "Wait, wait¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji''s actions, Jing Xinjue hurriedly stopped him, "You couldn''t be thinking of taking the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth, right?" Mo Wuji looked at Jing Xinjue, "Since you aren''t taking it, I will naturally take it. Someone else had already taken the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. Am I supposed to leave this Furnace behind for someone else? You might be kind but I''m not." Jing Xinjue stammered and said, "I''m kind? That bull crap. It''s just that I can''t take it. If I can store it, I wouldn''t be wasting my words on you. I would have taken this furnace a long time ago. Others weren''t able to take it. The same goes for us." "That''s good. That means that I have one less competitor." As Mo Wuji was speaking, he continued to throw out array flags. Jing Xinjue said speechlessly, "Wuji, stop doing useless things. I know that your Array Dao is very strong, but so what if you could move the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth? This Furnace is a supreme treasure of fortune. In front of it, Xiantian treasures could only be considered as rubbish. Even if you move this Furnace, can you take it away?" Mo Wuji didn''t bother about Jing Xinjue. He didn''t know whether his Mortal World could store the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. But if he didn''t try, how could he know? Now that the Mortal World resonated with his own Dao Laws, it was complete with the various kinds of Laws. Although the Laws were slightly weak, it was still a complete and world. If it was the same Undying World of the old, he really wouldn''t have a chance of storing this Furnace. Two days later, Mo Wuji had completed the shift-type array and prepared countless array runes. Finally, Mo Wuji threw out the master array flag. At the same time, his hands continuously formed hand seals. A loud rumbling could be heard. Jing Xinjue stared in shock at the huge Furnace started to vibrate. Chapter 1030: White Bone Pool Chapter 1030: White Bone Pool Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations After a few breaths time, the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth was suddenly pulled into an indiscernible void. It disappeared. Mo Wuji saw the Furnace within his Mortal World and his heart was filled with excitement. He didn''t think that his attempt would ultimately result in success. "Did you really store the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth? Or did it teleport away?" Although the Furnace disappeared, Jing Xinjue still didn''t believe that Mo Wuji had the capabilities to take and store it. "Enough with the nonsense. Let''s go." Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and he sped away. Jing Xinjue hurriedly followed behind Mo Wuji. The news of the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth appearing here would definitely be spread. One day, an expert would definitely come here in search of the Furnace. As Mo Wuji sped along, his spiritual will was constantly scanning outwards. In just half an incense''s time, he stopped. He seemed to be within a huge canyon. Poisonous gas filled the air, invading the skins and into the bones and meridians. Mo Wuji had the detoxification channel, so he didn''t really care about the poison. Jing Xinjue, on the other hand, was continuously consuming various kinds of pills. "This seems to be a canyon." With a few steps, Mo Wuji arrived the side of the canyon. He casually talked to Jing Xinjue. "We''re screwed. How did we end up in the White Bone Pool?" Jing Xinjue seemed to recognise their location and he wailed in anguish. Mo Wuji looked at Jing Xinjue questioningly, "What''s the White Bone Pool?" Jing Xinjue took out several healing pills and popped them in his mouth. Then, he said, "It''s rumoured that this place was built by an extremely evil person. This person isn''t even from God Domain. I heard from my school that this fella was a heretical cultivator that cultivated the Laws of Darkness. I suspect that his a bastard from the Gods Race." Laws of Darkness? Mo Wuji''s heart was filled with confusion. He had heard of this matter before. Ku Cai''s ancestor had arrived at God Domain. However, because those that cultivated the Laws of Darkness were considered as heretics, Ku Cai''s ancestor was hunted down by the rest of God Domain. He was probably killed. However, Ku Cai''s ancestor had left behind a bloodline. And now, the only person carrying on that bloodline was Ku Cai. Mo Wuji had interacted with Ku Cai before. He had also studied the Laws of Darkness before. In fact, he had even seen the Laws of Darkness and possessed the Darkness Origin Bead. Hearing Jing Xinjue say that his pond was built by Ku Cai''s ancestor, Mo Wuji felt slightly suspicious. If Ku Cai had escaped from this place, she definitely wouldn''t hide it from him, considering their relationship. Jing Xinjue did not seem to notice the change in Mo Wuji''s expression. He continued, "That fella that cultivated the Laws of Darkness fled here. Because there aren''t the Laws of Darkness here, he captured billions of people and extracted their life force, all in an attempt to build a Yin Pool to cultivate. Eventually, it''s said that the heretical cultivator was killed. But because of the heavy death energy, no one could come here. All those that do will only meet with death. Although I still have several pills, I probably cannot last much longer. Moreover, we can''t get out¡­ Eh, Wuji, why do you look fine?" Mo Wuji was sure that Jing Xinjue''s words were complete bullshit. This story wasn''t told by those involved but fabricated by those that had nothing better to do. The Laws of Darkness had always been one of the proper Laws of the Heaven and Earth. It had no relation to a Yin Pool, nor the cultivating of death energy. If there''s light, then there will be darkness. This was the proper Dao and the order of the world. Back then, those experts probably hunted him down because they wanted to obtain his technique of cultivating the Laws of Darkness. To speak frankly, that was eviler than cultivating the Laws of Darkness itself. "That''s not right. Why do I feel like I can fly out." After muttering these words to himself, Jing Xinjue''s figure flashed and he really flew upwards. According to the legends, one could only fall in the White Bone Pool and there was no way to fly out. From the looks of it, those legends were completely false. Mo Wuji''s figure also flashed and he landed on the edge of the White Bone Pool. Immediately, he was greeted with a sight which was the same as what he had seen in Gods Precipice Continent''s curse runes - an entire space of white bones. Even though Mo Wuji and Jing Xinjue had just come from the bottom, they could only see dense fogs when they looked down below. The bottom was completely out of sight. Mo Wuji also knitted his brows. He thought that since he and Jing Xinjue could fly out, it showed that the magic array over the array had grown weak with time. Since the array had weakened, they would naturally be able to fly out. However, according to this logic, they should be able to see the entire White Bone Pool with a single glance. "Boom! Boom!" Thundering rumbles could be heard. Jing Xinjue hurriedly brought out a flying treasure, "Wuji, let''s hurry and leave. This place is about to turn into dust¡­" Whether or this place would turn into dust as Jing Xinjue said was unclear. However, Mo Wuji was very clear that he needed to leave as soon as possible. The ground beneath his feet was shaking, seemingly about to collapse. Mo Wuji also brought out a flying treasure. Following behind Jing Xinjue, he charged into the mist. After flying for an entire day, the two of them finally landed at the periphery of a mountain range. As they set their sights towards the mountain range, they could only see a patch of blur. The mountain range was completely hazy. "Wuji, this is the White Bone Mountain Range. That White Bone Pool that we were in was in the depths of White Bone Mountain Range. There''s no god spiritual energy inside, nor any form of treasures. Thus, no one would typically come here. I didn''t think that I would actually return to God Domain through White Bone Pool. If I told others about this, they definitely wouldn''t believe it. What luck, what luck." As Jing Xinjue explained to Mo Wuji, he was secretly rejoicing. Mo Wuji was slightly worried. He didn''t know whether Cen Shuyin had been able to come out. "Xinjue, do you have a map of God Domain?" Mo Wuji casually asked. "Of course." Jing Xinjue casually passed a jade letter to Mo Wuji. Then, he continued, "We are not particularly far from my Forgotten Creek Dao School. Do you want to follow me back? I''m sure that Junior Sister Qu You would be very happy to see you." Mo Wuji shook his head, "I''m not going. You can return first." Jing Xinjue slapped his forehead, "Oh, how stupid. I didn''t remember that you were being hunted by several God Kings. Rest assured, I definitely wouldn''t reveal any news of you. Oh right, if I meet Junior Sister Qu You, should I tell her that I met you?" Mo Wuji rubbed his temples, "I truly do not have such relations with Junior Sister Qu You. Stop spouting nonsense." "Yes, yes, I know. Farewell then." Jing Xinjue chuckled as he ignited his flying treasure. In an instant, he disappeared. He desperately wanted to return back to the sect. As for Mo Wuji''s words about his relationship with Qu You, he didn''t believe a single one of them. Mo Wuji glanced through the jade letter than Jing Xinjue gave him. Soon, he decided to stay in the area for a period of time before heading back to the depths of White Bone Mountain Range. This Jing Xinjue was very talkative but Mo Wuji definitely wouldn''t treat him like an idiot. Don''t simply look at his garrulous and unfiltered behaviour. In reality, this fella had some brains. The way Mo Wuji looked at it, Jing Xinjue definitely suspected that he managed to store the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. However, Jing Xinjue did not mention a single word about it since. Still, Mo Wuji did not believe that Jing Xinjue was an unscrupulous person. He believed that Jing Xinjue was a person worth befriending and Jing Xinjue definitely wouldn''t reveal his whereabouts. Even so, Mo Wuji still decided that it was better to be careful. At the entrance of White Bone Mountain Range, he installed a Grade 5 monitoring array. After which, he secretly left. One day later, Mo Wuji arrived at a dense forest which had ordinary levels of god spiritual energy. There, he found a secretive spot to hid in. After hiding himself, Mo Wuji entered his Undying World where he had Da Huang monitor his monitoring array. Finally, he came to the Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. Mo Wuji had high expectations towards the Furnace. Jing Xinjue had said that this was a supreme treasure of fortune. As for what a supreme treasure of fortune was, even Jing Xinjue wasn''t very clear about it. Within his Mortal World, the Furnace of Heaven and Earth was still 30,000 meters tall. As it stood within the flat land of his Mortal World, it felt like the centre of his Mortal World. Mo Wuji''s figure flashed and he easily arrived at the top of the Furnace. Pill air circulated within the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. Mo Wuji took in a slight breath and he felt his entire spirit being elevated. This was a feeling that could not be described with words. Mo Wuji''s spiritual will scanned the insides of the Furnace. He could only sense the rich pill air and the various energies of purified Laws of the Heaven and Earth. As for the corners of the Furnace, his spiritual will was actually unable to reach them. After standing at the edge of the furnace for a few breaths of time, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to jump into the pill furnace. This was his Mortal World. He did not believe that, in his own Mortal World, he wouldn''t be able to protect his own life. The moment he entered the Furnace, he was surrounded by pill air. This was pill air which was devoid of pill poisons and impurities. Mo Wuji had a feeling that if he cultivated here, his cultivation would rise rapidly. Mo Wuji curbed his intentions to cultivation. What he needed to do now was to refine the Furnace. The Furnace was like a vast and boundless world. Within this Furnace, Mo Wuji was like a single dust particle. Within the Furnace, Mo Wuji moved using his Wind Escape Technique. After an incense''s time, Mo Wuji arrived at the array rune at the centre of the Furnace. He did not find the core of the Furnace. At the same time, he had a faint feeling that it wouldn''t be so easy to refine this pill furnace. The reason why he could send this pill furnace into his Undying World might be because this pill furnace had a spirit. It sensed the complete Laws of this world, so it volunteered to come in. What caused Mo Wuji''s skull to turn numb was that he found many withered corpses around this array rune. There were even storage rings which had their internal Laws of Space destroyed. This showed that the Furnace of Heaven and Earth did not only suck in god herbs. It could even suck in cultivators and extract their spiritual energy. After which, it would cast out all the corpses and residues. After some time, Mo Wuji gradually calmed down and accepted that reality. The Furnace of Heaven and Earth could probably refine anything that contained spiritual energy. Chapter 1031: Pill Cleansing Chapter 1031: Pill Cleansing Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji still intended to cultivate within the Furnace but the sheer number of corpses left him feeling slightly disgusted. Even though he knew that the Furnace of Heaven and Earth would only absorb the spiritual energy of cultivators, he still felt uncomfortable. He casually brought out a storage ring and sent all these messy rubbish into it. He was going to throw this ring away after he left the Mortal World. After which, Mo Wuji found large amounts of herb impurities at another array rune. The Furnace probably hadn''t had the chance to expel these dregs. After cleaning the entire pill furnace, Mo Wuji dragged in two supposed peak-grade god spiritual veins and he prepared to cultivate. The pill air within the pill furnace was free from impurities. The Furnace was even able to integrate the Laws of the Heaven and Earth into the pill air. One could only dream of cultivating in such an environment. Jing Xinjue was right. That pool that full of Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills was definitely good stuff. While he did not manage to obtain those pills, he was fortunate enough to obtain a Furnace of the Heaven and Earth. In comparison, his gains were much higher. 108 meridians simultaneously went into reverse circulation. Boundless pill air and the god spiritual energy from the spiritual veins merged and formed a huge whirlpool around Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji could clearly feel the different Laws of the Heaven and Earth changing before him, as well as the evolution of the various Laws. Within the Furnace, it felt as though a pair of hands was continuously moulding the Laws for him to gain insights from. Within such concentrated Law-filled pill air, Mo Wuji''s cultivation rose rapidly. His spiritual will also became more profound as it got refined by the universal laws. The faint sounds of his meridians expanding could be continuously heard around Mo Wuji''s body. Without any obstacles, Mo Wuji stepped into Heavenly God Level 3. At the instant that he stepped into Heavenly God Level 3, he suddenly shot his finger forward. Even though he was within the Furnace, the space that his finger passed through seemed to have become a melting pot. Everything within that melting pot started to melt and disappear in a vast world of fortune. At the same instant that he stepped into Heavenly God Level 3, he gained insights on his Seven World Killer''s third finger - Fortune! After stepping into Heavenly God Level 3, Mo Wuji became increasingly aware of the usefulness of this pill air and he started to cultivate with even greater fervour. The pill air within the Furnace was like shapeless and clear water. After being sucked into Mo Wuji''s meridians, it washed away the impurities within Mo Wuji''s body. Coupled with the god spiritual veins'' spiritual energy, Mo Wuji''s cultivation continued to soar. Various Laws moved and interweaved within Mo Wuji''s dao will. At the same time, Mo Wuji began to gain enlightenment on his various sacred arts. After cultivating for an unknown amount of time, Mo Wuji suddenly felt boundless elemental energy forming a bridge within his meridians. As this bridge formed, a shackle was broken. Powerful god elemental energy filled his entire body. At this moment, Mo Wuji wished to charge out and roar into the sky. His cultivation had broken through another shackle; he had reached Nascent God Level 4. New Sacred Art Laws started to become increasingly clear within Mo Wuji''s mind. Mo Wuji suddenly started to form countless hand seals. His formed hand seals unendingly. There were clearly strong gales and billowing winds, but at the end of his hand seals, they were all turned into light breezes and fine rain before ultimately dispersing into nothingness. Mo Wuji knew that he had understood a new sacred art. However, when he repeated the hand seals for this sacred art, he was slightly stunned. This was actually a Pill Dao sacred art. Since Mo Wuji started cultivating, he had learnt various kinds of sacred art. Because of his Immortal Mortal Technique, his Pill Dao improved at a god-like pace. But there was actually a sacred art for the Pill Dao? In his Pill Dao, he only knew how to improve his hand techniques and his understanding of concocting the various pills. But today, he had gained enlightenment on a Pill Dao sacred art. This sacred art didn''t have any attack power but it could remove the pill poison from the pills that he concocts. At the same time, it would integrate his own Laws into the pills, forming the purest kind of law pills. In a few breaths time, Mo Wuji started to rejoice. This sacred art was definitely priceless. It was equivalent to a simplified version of the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. Pills have always been the number one method to support cultivation. But in reality, even the wealthiest would not dare to eat pills like rice to increase their cultivation. The main reason behind this was pill poison. Of course, aside from pill poison, another reason was that cultivators that raise their cultivation rapidly through pills would be weaker in combat. If pills could be freed from pill poison, then the pill refiner that could concoct such pills would definitely be the pill refiner sought after by the entire universe. Mo Wuji exhaled deeply and practised the hand seals for the Pill Dao sacred art once more. Only then did he mutter to himself, "This sacred art will be called Pill Cleansing." At this instant, Mo Wuji came to a realisation. When he cultivated within this Law-filled pill air, he would gain insights on a sacred art with every advancement in cultivation level. When he went from Heavenly God Level 2 to Level 3, he understood the Seven World Finger''s third finger, Fortune. When he went from Level 3 to Level 4, he gained enlightenment on the Pill Dao sacred art, Pill Cleansing. Mo Wuji was also very clear why he could gain enlightenment on Pill Cleansing. Besides his dao revelation pill, it was also because he was within the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. The pill air within the furnace was free from impurities, much less pill poison. If there were any impurities in the air, it must have come from the two peak-grade god spiritual veins that he brought in. Because of the pure pill air within the Furnace, he came to gain enlightenment of one of the methods of the Furnace itself - concocting without pill poison. Sensing that the pill air within the Furnace was still very concentrated, Mo Wuji wanted to continue to see what new sacred art he would learn when he stepped into Heavenly God Level 5. Just as Mo Wuji was ready to cultivate, Da Huang sent a message. Mo Wuji immediately charged out of the Furnace and landed beside Da Huang, "Da Huang, you discovered something?" Da Huang pointed at the monitoring array and said, "Just now, I saw two people enter. One of them seemed to have been controlled by the other." "How long have I cultivated for?" "Seven months." "I understand." Mo Wuji anxiously charged out of the Mortal World. At the same time, he activated a transfer talisman. He took one day to get to this spot from White Bone Mountain Range. But because he inscribed a transfer array rune before he left White Bone, he only needed a few breaths to return. The moment he landed at the entrance of White Bone Mountain Range, Mo Wuji started to install a trap array. With his current cultivation at Heavenly God Level 4, he only needed two hours to create a mini trap array. After installing the trap array, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to rush into the depths of White Bone Mountain Range. He was sure that there was no such thing as an air-tight wall. Since people could have escaped from here and even escape with large amounts of Heavenly Law Elemental Pills, Mo Wuji guessed that someone would eventually find out about this place. From the looks of it, someone really found this place. Since that person could come here, that person must have a source of that information. That source of information was what Mo Wuji cared about. Mo Wuji launched his Wind Escape Technique. With one Wind Teleportation after another, he only took half a day before he finally stopped. Within his spiritual will, he found two male cultivators. One was extremely short with a huge beard. His eyes looked extremely vicious. What left Mo Wuji slightly apprehensive was that this shortie was already at the Great Circle of the God Monarch Stage; he only needed a single step to enter the World God Stage. The other person left Mo Wuji shocked. This was because Mo Wuji recognised that person - Kuang Jin. Kuang Jin was still in the Immortal Emperor Stage. Moreover, he was the one that provided Kuang Jin with the True Emperor Pill to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage. It was just that Kuang Jin was too shameless. After using his True Emperor Pill to step into the Immortal Emperor Stage, Kuang Jin didn''t help him when he needed help. Not only that, Kuang Jin even wanted to make use of that opportunity to ask him for green crystals. When those Immortal Emperors came knocking at his door, Kuang Jin didn''t even attack once before escaping. Fortunately, Mo Wuji had already made his preparations. As long as Kuang Jin helped him slightly, he would not die at the hands of those Immortal Emperors. Eventually, he was still forced to escape to the depths of Heaven''s Beyond Corridor, hiding and cultivating for years before he finally revealed himself. At this moment, Kuang Jin clearly wasn''t doing well. Kuang JIn was probably controlled by that shortie. From the looks of it, Kuang Jin should have also came from Cosmos Wall. Mo Wuji turned to look at the spot where White Bone Pool was previously. At this moment, it had actually disappeared. That shortie should have forced Kuang Jin to come here for the Furnace of Heaven and Earth or the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill. However, after arriving here, Kuang Jin was unable to find the location of White Bone Pool. Kuang Jin was also Mo Wuji''s target for questioning. Kuang Jin came together with Shuyin. He might actually know Shuyin''s whereabouts. When Mo Wuji noticed that shortie, that shortie also noticed Mo Wuji. This shortie didn''t even say a word. He grabbed Kuang Jin, his figure flashed and he sped towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not hesitate to run away using his Wind Escape Technique. If he continuously used Wind Teleportation, this shortie definitely wouldn''t be able to catch up to him even though this shortie was a Great Circle God Monarch. However, Mo Wuji''s motive wasn''t to flee. When he just stepped into the Heavenly God Stage, he could already win a Level 1 God Monarch in a straight battle. Now that he was at Heavenly God Level 4 and he had a Grade 5 trap array prepared, why would he need to fear a Great Circle God Monarch? "Mo Wuji?" The instant Mo Wuji fled, Kuang Jin recognised him. Kuang Jin immediately cried out in alarm. In reality, Kuang Jin had cried out intentionally. He believed that Mo Wuji had also come from Cosmos Wall. If Mo Wuji joined him, his pressure would be reduced by half. "You recognise this person?" When the shortie heard Kuang Jin call out Mo Wuji''s name, he immediately snorted and asked. Kuang Jin hurriedly said, "Senior, this person came from the same place as me. Since he''s here, he definitely knows about the situation with the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. Senior only needs to catch him to force out the entire truth." When the shortie heard Kuang Jin''s words, his figure began to flash more rapidly. One fled while one chased. After half a day, Mo Wuji finally charged into his trap array. Mo Wuji was also rather helpless. If he was alone, he wouldn''t even have needed half a day to return. That shortie was a Great Circle God Monarch. He didn''t even place Mo Wuji in his eyes. He did not hesitate to blindly follow Mo Wuji into the Grade 5 trap array. He could not be blamed. No one could have thought that Mo Wuji, a person that came from a lower world, could actually install a Grade 5 trap array in such a short time. Chapter 1032: Notorious Reputation Chapter 1032: Notorious Reputation Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The moment that short God Monarch entered the trap array, Mo Wuji drew multiple array runes, activating the array. Waves of pressure and killing intent surged out, filling this short God Monarch''s heart with fear and astonishment. As an expert that was about to step into the World God Stage, how could he not know that this was at least a Grade 5 god array? At this moment, how could he care about capturing Mo Wuji? He even threw Kuang Jin to the side and whipped out a flame-bladed sword. He wanted to break through and escape the array as soon as possible. If he didn''t escape, even the most ordinary early-stage Heavenly God could eliminate him. Unfortunately, he was overthinking things. Mo Wuji''s Grade 5 trap array clearly couldn''t be broken apart so easily. Mo Wuji continued to inscribe void array runes. Lightning bolts, halberd lights, spatial blades, they all shot towards this shortie. Mo Wuji didn''t even bring out his halberd. He directly stabbed forward with his finger. Sacred Art - World of Man. Dealing against a trapped God Monarch, Mo Wuji didn''t even need to use a sacred art to kill him. It was just that Mo Wuji wanted to capture Kuang Jin as soon as possible and question Kuang Jin. This shortie couldn''t even escape. The moment Mo Wuji''s finger appeared, he felt his entire world change. At the very next instant, he was no longer a high and lofty Great Circle God Monarch. He wasn''t even an expert that could oppress other people. He was merely an insignificant dust particle; a man with no means of resistance. He didn''t have a cultivation, nor a long longevity. As time passed within the World of Man, he could only look in despair as he turned old and walk towards his eventual death. "Bang!" The shortie''s domain exploded. All the restrains, lightning bolts and halberd light around him disappeared without a trace. At the same time, his sea of consciousness and dantian were completely bound. "Crash!" This God Monarch could no longer endure any further as he sat paralysed on the floor. He had become a true mortal, not simply a mortal within the World of Man. "Who are you?" As this shortie sat weakly on the floor, he stared at Mo Wuji in shock. His cultivation should be been much higher than Mo Wuji but he felt as though he didn''t even have a chance of resisting Mo Wuji. It was true that he couldn''t break out of the Grade 5 trap array immediately. However, Mo Wuji''s World of Man had left him filled with fear. He suspected that even if he wasn''t trapped in this array, he would still be heavily injured by Mo Wuji''s World of Man. "Kuang Jin didn''t tell you?" Mo Wuji said indifferently. Kuang Jin''s cultivation had been controlled by the shortie. The moment Mo Wuji immobilised that shortie, he came to a realisation. He stared at Mo Wuji with his mouth agape; he was completely unable to utter a single word. Since when had Mo Wuji become so powerful? Even if there was a god array prepared, Mo Wuji also couldn''t have easily won a Great Circle God Monarch, right? "Mo Wuji, you are Mo Wuji¡­" This short God Monarch finally recalled the name that Kuang Jin said previously. Before Mo Wuji captured him, he had no care about what Mo Wuji''s name was. To him, Mo Wuji was simply another ant. But now that Mo Wuji had easily captured him, he finally realised who Mo Wuji was. Back in the newly incubated God Domain Nest and under the encirclement of 40 to 50 Nascent Gods and Heavenly God geniuses, the early-stage Nascent God Mo Wuji was able to slaughter everyone. Oh wait, it seemed like one person managed to escape. If that was not enough, this person had also snatched the Medicinal Cauldron Stone, obtained the Primal God Lattice, then stupidly gave the Primal God Lattice to a woman. The consequences were obvious. This Mo Wuji had infuriated multiple God Kings, causing these God King to join hands to hunt him down. In theory, an ant could only die when hunted by God Kings. Even if God Domain was any bigger, it still had limits. Moreover, how many people could dismiss the conditions stated by God Kings. Thus, it could be said that there was no place for Mo Wuji to hide. However, reality had shown that Mo Wuji was still roaming around freely. Those God Kings weren''t able to do anything to Mo Wuji. Today, he had actually seen Mo Wuji. Originally, he intended to use his sect''s name to threaten Mo Wuji. But after realising that it was Mo Wuji, he completely gave up on that idea. This fella didn''t even fear God Kings and offended multiple top-rated sects. Even if he threatened Mo Wuji, it would be useless. If he had known that it was Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn''t have chased after Mo Wuji without any plans. He wouldn''t even have been lured into a Grade 5 trap array. If Mo Wuji was so easy to deal with, he wouldn''t have been the one to deal with him. Actually, that''s not right. He already knew that he was dealing with a person called Mo Wuji. It was just that he didn''t connect this fella to the notorious Mo Wuji. Looking at the despair which appeared on this God Monarch''s face after realising Mo Wuji''s identity, Kuang Jin''s heart began to pound heavily. This Mo Wuji definitely couldn''t have arrived at God Domain for long. How could it be that, in such a short time, Mo Wuji had gotten so famous? Unfortunately, after he obtained those large amounts of Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill, he had always been hiding and on the run. He managed to find a place to cultivate after much difficulty but someone still managed to discover traces of the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill "Pill Emperor Mo¡­" Kuang Jin bitterly cried out Mo Wuji''s name. Throat dry, Kuang Jin spoke, "Back then, I had just stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage and I was feeling powerful and free. I didn''t wish to die just like that, which was why I escaped and reneged on our agreement¡­" Mo Wuji said emotionlessly, "I have seen many ingrates like you. Now, tell me how you got here and whether you saw my wife, Shuyin. Speak in detail. If I''m satisfied with your answer, I will not kill you personally. I will only leave you in this trap array. Whether you escape will depend on your own fate." Kuang Jin was only in the Immortal Emperor Stage. When thrown into a Grade 5 trap array, he would undoubtedly die. Even so, Kuang Jin still said, "I''m willing." Even Kuang Jin knew that he would definitely die in such a trap array. However, he knew that he would still have a chance to reincarnate. At least his soul wouldn''t be burned. Back then, he had been shameless and cunning towards Mo Wuji. It wasn''t wrong for Mo Wuji to casually kill him. Even without prompting, Kuang Jin said, "Because I knew of Pill Emperor Mo''s methods, I didn''t dare to show myself. I had always been hiding in Heaven''s Beyond City Square. Besides hiding, I also went to the Cosmos Wall to fight for treasures. As time passed, the expulsion force within the depths of the Cosmos Wall became increasingly weaker. Someone was actually able to reach the depths of the Cosmos Wall and he disappeared. I figured that I wouldn''t have a future in Cosmos Edge, so I also took the risk to enter Cosmos Wall." I flew continuously in Cosmos Wall for years before I finally emerged and arrived at the periphery of White Bone Pool. When I arrived, there were already more than ten people there. These people all came from Cosmos Edge. They did not find it strange that I appeared. In fact, they knew that there would be newcomers every time the Cosmos Wall opened." "You''re saying that those that first arrived at White Bone Pool didn''t leave?" Mo Wuji asked doubtfully. At this point, Mo Wuji was more interested in knowing why those people hadn''t been sucked up by the Furnace of Heaven and Earth for their spiritual energy. "Yes. They were all attacking a pool surrounding by pill air. Through the pill air, it could be seen that the entire pool was filled with pills." Kuang Jin explained, "I also joined the group and attacked the pool. It was just that the grade of the array defending the pool was too high. Even though years passed and the god spiritual vein gradually depleted, we were still unable to break through." Towards the end, Kuang Jin had completely calmed down, seemingly resigned to his fate, "We continued to attack like this for more years. Just as the defensive array was about to break, your wife and two other women arrived. I recognised one of them, she was Immortal Empress Wen Lan. Many people attacking the pool knew of your wife. Moreover, with Immortal Empress Wen Lan there, no one dared to do anything to them. Because the three of them joined in the attack, the array, which was already about to collapse, finally succumbed and shattered. Back then, the entire pool of Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill left me dumbfounded. Everyone rushed in and fought for the pills furiously. I was not an exception and I joined in the frenzy. After the nearly 20 people obtained all the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills, they all packed up and left. I also fled." Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, "This means that you don''t know where my wife and Immortal Empress Wen Lan went?" Kuang Jin shook his head, "I do not know. We all went in different directions." At that time, they had obtained large amounts of Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. Who would care about where the others went? They probably wanted to find a place to cultivate and raise their powers. Mo Wuji was truly grateful to Immortal Empress Wen Lan. If not for her, with Cen Shuyin''s and Lin Gu''s powers, people would be likely to snatch their Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills. "What happened to your Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills?" Mo Wuji stared at Kuang Jin and asked coldly. Kuang Jin pointed to the short God Monarch and said, "I found a quiet place and prepared to cultivate. I didn''t expect that there was already somebody there. It was this fella. He stole all my pills and forced me to come here." Mo Wuji waved his hand, sweeping away the short God Monarch''s storage ring. This Kuang Jin''s luck was truly bad. He actually brought out his Heavenly Laws Elemental Pills in a place where a God Monarch was cultivating in. "Dao Friend Mo, please spare my life¡­" Seeing Mo Wuji take away his storage ring, this shortie cried out anxiously. Mo Wuji waved his hand and a lightning bolt shot over. At the same time, a flame swept over. In an instant, this God Monarch was burned to ash. After doing all this, Mo Wuji''s figure flashed. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the trap array. As Mo Wuji left, the trap array was re-activated. Kuang JIn knew that he would undoubtedly die. He could only choose to reincarnate. Chapter 1033: Seeking Marriage Chapter 1033: Seeking Marriage Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Forgotten Creek Dao School. This was definitely one of the top sects in the entire God Domain. If someone said that a person would try to force a marriage on Forgotten Creek Dao School, it was obvious that someone was telling a joke. But today, in Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Guest Hall, God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood had no other choice but to welcome several guests with warm smiles on their faces. A joke had become reality. These guests were here to seek a marriage. In fact, they were here to force a marriage. God Kings Scoured Sea and Guiding Wood both sat on the left side. Opposite them, on the right side, was God Evolution Sect''s Sect Head Tie Lanshan, God King Level 7 in cultivation. Beside him was a dashing and elegant young man, Wang Yunqian. Wang Yunqian was God Evolution Sect''s number one genius, God Monarch Level 7 in cultivation. The next person on the right side of the room was a wild-looking man. This fella was Star Concealing Mountain''s Elder Rao Xi, God King Level 7. Beside him, there was also a young man beside him. However, this young man''s cultivation was relatively lower; it was only at Heavenly God Level 5. If Mo Wuji was here, he would definitely recognise this Heavenly God. This was the first place for Nirvana Learning Academy''s assessment, Ji Feiyan. This person was a true genius. The next person was a clean-shaven middle-aged man. He gave off a gloomy impression. In God Domain, many people wouldn''t recognise him. But in God Continent, the people that recognised him were countless. This was Cultivators Embassy''s Embassy Lord, Xu Ping, God King Level 9 in cultivation. Sitting beside Xu Ping was a youth that looked similar to him. His cultivation was God Monarch Level 3. This was Xu Ping''s eldest son, Xu Sha. Although his looks couldn''t be compared to Wang Yunqian and Ji Feiyan, his innate talent definitely wasn''t inferior. God King Scoured Sea rubbed his temples; his head felt pain. The main reason was that Qu You was too outstanding. It''s not enough that she was exceptionally pretty. She also condensed the Primal God Lattice. Who didn''t know that the Primal God Lattice was the optimal choice for a dao companion? There were simply too many people that wanted to court a marriage with Qu You. But before the transfer array across Nirvana Ocean opened, no one could force anything on the Forgotten Creek Dao School. But now that the transfer array was open, the experts from God Continent had come over. Forgotten Creek Dao School could no longer be considered a top-rate sect. God King Scoured Sea was forced into helplessness. He could only invite all those that wanted to marry Qu You to Forgotten Creek Dao School and explain things clearly. After which, his Forgotten Creek Dao School would be freed from this problems. Among the three that brought their disciples to seek marriage, Star Concealing Mountain''s Rao Xi''s cultivation was the lowest. However, Star Concealing Mountain''s position was definitely the highest. He was the first to clasp his fists and say, "Dao Friend Scoured Sea, Dao Friend Guiding Wood, over countless years in God Continent, my Star Concealing Mountain has nurtured countless geniuses. All these geniuses were famous existences with high reputations. However, none of those talents could compare to Ji Feiyan." As Rao Xi said this, Ji Feiyan walked forward and bowed. Xu Ping didn''t say a word. No matter what perspective one looked from, Star Concealing Mountain was stronger than the Cultivators Embassy. It was also true that Ji Feiyan was the top genius in the entire God Continent; everyone knew that. However, in his eyes, his son, Xu Sha, definitely wasn''t inferior to Ji Feiyan. Xu Sha had cultivated for so many years but had never considered a dao companion. But after laying his eyes on Qu You, he could no longer keep his heart to himself. Moreover, after knowing that Qu You condensed the Primal God Lattice, Xu Ping wanted Qu You in the Xu Clan regardless of the means. Looking at Ji Feiyan''s meagre Heavenly God Level 5 cultivation, God King Scoured Sea could not help but be slightly shocked. A Heavenly God Level 5 couldn''t be considered a genius, right? Rao Xi seemed to know what God King Scoured Sea was thinking. He laughed faintly and said, "Previously, Feiyan had spent most of his time on the Pill, Talisman, Array and Equipment Daos. Fortunately, he had the talent to do so. Today, he is a Grade 4 Master in all these Daos. Ten years ago, Feiyan started to cultivate in earnest. Within these ten years, he went from Nascent God Level 9 to today''s Heavenly God Level 5." God King Scoured Sea inhaled a breath of cold air. A Grade 4 Master in the Pill, Equipment, Talisman and Array Daos. Moreover, he went from Nascent God Level 9 to Heavenly God Level 5 in just ten years. This wasn''t a genius; this was a monster. Rao Xi sighed and said, "Previously, Feiyan had never considered the matters of a dao companion. But after he came to God Domain''s newly incubated God Domain Nest, he saw Qu You. From that day, he could not forget Qu You''s face. Thus, I could only thicken my skin and come to Forgotten Creek Dao School and seek a marriage. I request that Dao Friend Scoured Sea and Dao Friend Guiding Wood could oblige the two young ones, as well as accept a friendship from my Star Concealing Mountain." This time, God King Scoured Sea didn''t even need to say anything. The first person on the right, God Evolution Sect''s Sect Head Tie Lanshan could not help but say, "God Continent is vast and abundant with resources. There are many talents and it''s true that Junior Feiyan is one of them. However, something like destiny cannot be forced. My God Evolution Sect''s number one genius, Wang Yuanqian, and Junior Qu You both have a fond appreciation of one another. Although he only cultivates, he doesn''t disappoint our expectations. Now, he''s already at God Monarch Level 7. Previously, I have always been in secluded cultivation and I have neglected Yunqian. But now, I have come with sincerity to seek a marriage for Yunqian." As he finished speaking, Tie Lanshan clasped his fists towards God King Scoured Sea, indicating God Evolution Sect''s high regard towards this matter. Xu Ping was extremely eager to have Qu You, who possessed the Primal God Lattice, into his Xu Clan. Naturally, he wouldn''t fall behind. He also clasped his fists and said, "God King Scoured Sea, God King Guiding Wood, I have come on behalf of my Xu Clan. Xu Sha is my eldest son. He has always been devoted to cultivation but after killing those Gods Race barbarians together with Junior Qu You, he developed a mutual understanding with her. I hope that Dao Friend Scoured Sea and Dao Friend Guiding Wood can oblige the two young people." At this point, Xu Sha even stood up and said, "This disciple swears that I will never disappoint Junior Sister Qu You. On the long road of cultivation, we will hold hands and advance together." God King Scoured Sea knew that he couldn''t offend a single one of these people. Don''t simply look at how polite they all seemed. This was because he had invited them all at the same time. If each of them came individually, they definitely would have spoken with threats. God Evolution Sect used to be on the same level as Forgotten Creek Dao School but recently, there were three new God Kings in God Evolution Sect. Two advanced because of the Nirvana Ocean''s Nirvana Dao Sand while one advanced because of a fortune in God Domain Nest. At this moment, God Evolution Sect had already surpassed Forgotten Creek Dao School. Moreover, God Evolution Sect had close ties with God Continent''s Nirvana Learning Academy. This was an existence that Forgotten Creek Dao School could not offend. God King Scoured Sea could only stand up and speak, "Various Dao Friends, it''s my, Forgotten Creek Dao School''s, honour to have all of you here seeking a marriage. Qu You is a disciple of my Forgotten Creek Dao School but we can''t force her regarding the matters of her dao companion. How about this, we can have Qu You make her own choice. The person she chooses would be her dao companion." If only one family came, God King Scoured Sea''s suggestion definitely wouldn''t be accepted. But now that three families had come together, no one would nitpick his words. The three experts that came to propose a marriage looked towards one another and nodded. Rao Xi was the first to stand up, "Since that''s the case, we will have to request Dao Friend Scoured Sea to invite Junior Qu You in." When he invited these three families to Forgotten Creek Dao School, God King Scoured Sea already knew what would happen. He had already called Qu You back and she had been waiting. Not long later, Qu You was called into the Guest Hall. Although no one said anything to her, Qu You had a slight understanding of the situation. She calmly bowed towards the five God Kings before standing beside God King Guiding Wood. Qu You was still gorgeous. She looked as though she had walked out from a painting. However, compared to those years ago, she had an additional agedness and weariness in her eyes. Those years ago, after she left Nirvana Ocean, she travelled across half the entire God Domain in search for Mo Wuji. If not for the conflict with Gods Race, she might have already continued on to search for the other half. As she roamed around God Domain alone, her experiences and cultivation grew. At this moment, she was already at God Monarch Level 4. After condensing the Primal God Lattice, she didn''t even need to use any pills to advance from the Heavenly God Stage to the God Monarch Stage. Her cultivation journey had been smooth sailing. In the entire God Domain, there was no second cultivator who could improve at a pace like Qu You. This time, if not for these peak powers that came visiting, God King Scoured Sea definitely wouldn''t have called Qu You back. As Qu You stood there, whether it was Rao Xi, Xu Ping, or Tie Lanshan, they all sighed inwardly. This was a fresh and pure girl that was even more beautiful than paintings. There was no wonder why their disciples felt so strongly towards her. "Qu You, you should know why I have called you here. Let me introduce these people to you. God Evolution Sect''s God King Tie Lanshan, Star Concealing Mountain''s elder, God King Rao Xi, as well as Cultivators Embassy''s Embassy Lord, God King Xu Ping." God King Scoured Sea said cordially. Although she had already paid her greetings when she first entered, Qu You still bowed towards them once more. God King Scoured Sea continued, "You should know the reason why they have come but I will explain it once more. You should already know Wang Yunqian. There''s also Star Concealing Mountain''s number one genius, Ji Feiyan. Ji Feiyan is a Grade 4 Master in the Array, Pill, Talisman and Equipment Dao. In ten years, he advanced from Nascent God Level 9 to Heavenly God Level 5. You have also worked together with Cultivators Embassy''s Xu Sha. This time, you need to choose your dao companion. We can only explain the situation but the exact decision still goes to you." Qu You''s expression was calm. She had already known what this matter was about. She respectfully bowed towards the God Kings and said, "Esteemed seniors have personally come to visit Forgotten Creek Dao School just for this disciple. This disciple truly feels honoured. It''s just that this disciple''s heart already belongs to someone and this disciple already has a dao companion. Thus, this disciple has to disappoint the seniors'' good intentions." Rao Xi''s face sunk. He was an elder of Star Concealing Mountain and he had personally came to seek a marriage for his disciple. This was already considered a huge show of favour. However, this Qu You actually dared to lie right to his face. She was clearly a virgin but she actually claims that she had a dao companion. Chapter 1034: News Of Mo Wuji Chapter 1034: News Of Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations God King Guiding Wood could tell that the situation wasn''t going right. He hurriedly said, "Qu You, these God Kings have paid a personal visit. This was not easy for them. You must not casually muddle through." After lightly scolding Qu You, God King Guiding Wood clasped his fists to Rao Xi and co. and said, "Dao Friends, it''s true that Qu You used to admire a rogue cultivator. The reason was that this rogue cultivator had saved her life. However, that rogue cultivator had perished in God Burial Valley. We were worried that this would affect Qu You''s heart state, which was why we hid that fact. Qu You¡­" By the time God King turned to look at Qu You, she had a blank look on her face. Her eyes were filled with grief. God King Guiding Wood sighed and continued, "Qu You, I know that you are a person who understands gratitude. It''s not that we wished to hide the fact from you. It''s because your innate talent is truly too outstanding. If you knew of this matter, it would have affected your ability to step into the God King Stage." "So it''s like that." Star Concealing Mountain''s Elder Rao Xi nodded. He said in an understanding manner, "This junior understands favour and gratitude. This is a rare quality. Thus, he has entered the cycle of reincarnation. This is a natural outcome. There''s no need for the both of you to suffer. Junior, you should come to accept this unpleasant fact, so that you would not disappoint the person who helped you." In his heart, Rao Xi''s approval of Qu You grew. No matter what, a person who understood gratitude couldn''t be a bad person. It was unknown whether she agreed with Rao Xi''s words. However, the grief within Qu You''s eyes disappeared. She regained her calm and she turned to bow towards God King Guiding Wood and God King Scoured Sea, "Two ancestors, this disciple''s heart still longs for Wuji and wishes to take a look at God Burial Valley. I hope that the two ancestors can oblige." God King Guiding Wood jolted and he promptly scolded, "Qu You, don''t you know that none of the people that enter God Burial Valley survive? Do you know how those god lattice crystals from God Burial Valley came out? Those people who have lost their reason went in the Valley and used transfer array runes to send them out. Since ancient times, have you seen anyone that emerged from God Burial Valley? All those that enter God Burial Valley would have their vitality corroded." Qu You''s expression was resolute. She bowed and said, "This disciple must pay a visit to God Burial Valley. Otherwise, I would never find peace and my heart wouldn''t be able to cultivate." God King Scoured Sea seemed to understand Qu You''s thoughts. He sighed and said, "Let her go, ai¡­" He could only sigh at his powerlessness. He was ranked fourth among God Domain''s Ten Great God Kings but he was still unable to help a disciple of his sect. "I have heard of God Burial Valley. No one was able to come out of it alive. If junior wishes to pay respects to her benefactor, I would also go and take a look." Rao Xi actually nodded in agreement. It was rumoured that 9 out of 10 people die in God Burial Valley. However, the reality was that 10 out of 10 die. There might have been instances of people coming out of God Burial Valley, but those were definitely exceptions among exceptions. Otherwise, practically all the cultivators that enter God Burial Valley would have their vitalities corroded and they would die. Even God Kings weren''t an exception. As for the god lattice crystals inside, those were exchanged for the cultivator''s life. Sometimes, ten lives needed to be exchanged for a single god lattice crystal. "God Burial Valley is one of the reputed death zones of my God Domain. I, Tie Lanshan, will also take a look." God Evolution Sect''s Tie Lanshan also stood up and said in a forthright manner. For his personal disciple, Wang Yunqian, he was willing to spend this effort. Cultivators Embassy''s Xu Ping also didn''t hesitate to stand up and offer his participation. He was increasingly satisfied with Qu You''s character. If Qu You entered his Xu Clan, the Xu Clan have a member that has a Primal God Lattice. More importantly, Qu You''s descendants would definitely be top-class talents. No matter what, he was not going to give up on Qu You. If not for his son, Xu Sha, favouring Qu You, he would have also made an attempt towards Qu You. Naturally, Qu You''s beauty was an important reason. But her Primal God Lattice was a more important reason. If Qu You could become his, Xu Ping''s, dao companion, it was possible for him to go beyond the God King Stage and reach the Unity God Stage. His heart began to burn with fervour but Xu Ping remained calm. He was the Embassy Lord of Cultivators Embassy, he definitely couldn''t fight with his son for a woman. Even if he wanted Qu You''s help, it would have to wait till Qu You entered his Xu Clan. Qu You did not seem to hear that the few God Kings wanted to follow her. After paying her respects to God King Scoured Sea and God King Guiding Wood, she turned to walk out of Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Guest Hall. God King Guiding Wood hurried to catch up to her. He handed her a talisman and said, "Qu You, the road to God Burial Valley is long. I have a transfer talisman for you. It can directly bring you to the outside of God Burial Valley. It''s rumoured that Mo Wuji had been forced by the Black Mustard Merchant Union to enter the God Burial Valley. After you pay your respects, you can turn to the Black Mustard Merchant Union for your revenge. Rest assured, my Forgotten Creek Dao School will whole-heartedly support you." Qu You accepted the talisman. She turned to look at God King Guiding Wood. Disappointment and grief flashed across her eyes. After bowing to him, she crushed the transfer talisman. Compared to the grief she felt when she heard that Mo Wuji had died, Qu You was now completely calm. The time she spent with Mo Wuji wasn''t very long but she understood him. If Mo Wuji could be duped or captured by a merchant union to enter God Burial Valley to search for god lattice crystals, then Mo Wuji wouldn''t have even escaped from the newly incubated God Domain Nest alive. It definitely wasn''t luck that Mo Wuji could escape from the hands of several God Kings. With Mo Wuji''s abilities, he could even stage a rescue attempt from Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Punishment Cliff and leave safely. How could he be sent into God Burial Valley by a merchant union? Others might think that Mo Wuji loved her to her bones, which was why he gave her the Primal God Lattice. However, only she knew that Mo Wuji only felt gratitude to her. There was no love. There wasn''t even love involved when he risked his life to save her from Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Punishment Cliff. Perhaps, Mo Wuji was the only person in the entire universe that would do such things purely out of gratitude. The time she spent with Mo Wuji was very short, short to the point where she could clearly remember every single breath that happened. When Mo Wuji left, she knew that it was impossible to find a dao companion like Mo Wuji. There was no need to talk about how the two of them had a physical relationship. Even if they hadn''t, she knew that she needed a dao companion and that dao companion must be like Mo Wuji. However, there was only one Mo Wuji and she was a girl. She couldn''t openly tell Mo Wuji that she wanted to be his dao companion. Her feelings were like this till she came to realise that Mo Wuji had been plotted against by her sect. He had gone to Forgotten Creek Dao School''s Punishment Cliff alone just to save her. Her younger sister impersonated her and ambushed Mo Wuji, causing Mo Wuji to be heavily injured. Since then, she could no longer repress her feelings. She did not care about the various people coming to her and asking for her hand in marriage. She directly proclaimed that she was Mo Wuji''s dao companion. Even if Mo Wuji didn''t want her, she wouldn''t feel any regrets. In this life, she wouldn''t find a second person. In reality, even if Qu You didn''t announce that she was Mo Wuji''s dao companion, others would still believe it. Otherwise, why would Mo Wuji give her the Primal God Lattice? In fact, people wouldn''t even give the Primal God Lattice to their own dao companions. Thus, she began on her trip around God Domain in search for Mo Wuji. However, she didn''t find any traces of Mo Wuji. By this time, she realised that she didn''t have the fate with Mo Wuji. If there was just a bit of fate, Mo Wuji would know that she was looking for him and he would come to meet her. On the other hand, Qu You was completely disappointed with Forgotten Creek Dao School. Not only did they set up a trap for Mo Wuji, they even tried to sell her out for the peace of the sect. Even though she knew that God King Guiding Wood was lying to her and that Mo Wuji wasn''t in God Burial Valley, she still wanted to go there. This was because she had no other options. If she didn''t go to God Burial Valley, she would have to choose from one of the three families. There were benefits when the three families came together. But at the same time, there was a disadvantage; that was, there was no road for retreat. Eventually, they would probably compete to be her dao companion. God King Guiding Wood lied to her so that she could give up on Mo Wuji and choose one of these families. Even so, Qu You felt grateful towards God King Guiding Wood. At the very least, he gave her an option to die. Otherwise, she wouldn''t even have that option. When the God Kings came out of the hall and realised that Qu You had already left, they all jolted. God King Guiding Wood hurriedly said, "I have a high0grade transfer talisman here. Everyone can stand together and I will activate the talisman." God King Guiding Wood''s words allowed everyone to come to an understanding. Qu You was a girl, so it wasn''t good for her to be transferred together with the rest of them. Not only did Guiding Wood''s action help Qu You, it was also taking care of them. After all, Qu You could be a member of one of their families. White light burst forth and wrapped around them. In an instant, they disappeared. "Was the person that just left Junior Sister Qu You?" A weary cultivator with thick brows and big ears arrived and stared questioningly towards the white light. "Eh, Senior Brother Jing, you''ve returned?" Looking at this cultivator, a pretty female cultivator cried out in delight. This thick-browed and big-eared cultivator was the same Jing Xinjue that separated from Mo Wuji. The reason why he only just returned was because he had been searching for a place to stabilise his cultivation. Since he stepped into the God Monarch Stage, he hadn''t had that chance. Not only that, he had to expel the poison from White Bone Pool. Doing all this already required several months. Just as he returned, he saw Qu You leave. After which, Ancestor Guiding Wood and Ancestor Scoured Sea left with a group of people. "Junior Sister Kong Man, long time no see, I have returned. Oh right, what just happened? Why did I see the two ancestors leaving?" Jing Xinjue asked doubtfully. Kong Man''s eyes went dull as she said, "Senior Sister Qu heard that Mo Wuji had died in God Burial Valley and she said that she must go and take a look. The other people had come to seek a marriage with her, which was why they left with her." Kong Man liked Wang Yunqian, but Wang Yunqian''s eyes were on Qu You. Even though Qu You ignored him, his heart continued to burn with jealousy. Thus, he didn''t want to give up on her. Because Kong Man was one of the disciples in the Guest Hall, she knew what happened. "What?" Jing Xinjue startled. Which bastard came up with such a lie? Just a few months ago, he was together with Mo Wuji. Who said that Mo Wuji perished in God Burial Valley? No, I need to hurry and inform Junior Sister Qu You. However, as Jing Xinjue thought about God Burial Valley, he sighed. He didn''t have a transfer talisman. If he wanted to go to God Burial Valley, he would have to take a very long time. Chapter 1035: Heavenly Mortal Sect’s Statue Chapter 1035: Heavenly Mortal Sect¡¯s Statue Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations The transfer talisman accurately brought Qu You to the outside of God Burial Valley. The area that she landed on was barren and desolate. Qu You''s spiritual will swept outwards. A thousand miles in front of her was a valley which inhibited spiritual will. The entrance of the valley was covered in fog. This fog seemed to be held in place by some invisible hands. It only roamed around the entrance of the valley, seemingly unable to dissipate. Qu You knew that if she entered that valley, she would be in God Burial Valley. She lifted her head and looked towards the clear sky. Her eyes were filled with tranquillity. At this time, she didn''t have any wishes or requests. She only wanted quiet. She slowly walked towards the entrance of God Burial Valley. The state of her heart was just like her footsteps, free of any worries. "Qu You, all those that enter God Burial Valley die. Mo Wuji was merely a passer-by in your life. On the other hand, you are a proud child of the Heavens. If you can''t even understand that fact, then you would be wasting your time on cultivation." God King Guiding Wood''s voice came timely, causing Qu You to stop in her tracks. Qu You knew that God King Guiding Wood had also arrived through a transfer talisman. She slowly turned and bowed, "Two ancestors, I only wish to go and pay my respects to Wuji. Otherwise, my heart wouldn''t be at ease." When Guiding Wood heard Qu You''s words, he nodded and said, "That''s fine. Remember not to get within 10 meters of the fog at the entrance." Guiding Wood didn''t consider that Qu You would choose to commit suicide by entering God Burial Valley. With Qu You''s talent and her Primal God Lattice, she would definitely enter the God King Stage. No one would believe that a cultivator with the potential to enter the God King Stage would choose to end her own life. Cultivators cultivated the Great Dao. Love was merely a small part of the Great Dao. Cultivators that could reach a certain level wouldn''t really care about love. If they couldn''t even severe such an emotion, then it would be extremely hard for them to reach the God Monarch Stage. On the other hand, Qu You didn''t spend much time to reach the God Monarch Stage. The remaining God Kings also didn''t have such considerations. Their thoughts were roughly the same as God King Guiding Wood''s. Qu You was such a talented cultivator and she was even a person that condensed the highly sought after Primal God Lattice. If she said that she would commit suicide, everyone would think that it was a joke. Qu You turned back and continued walking to the entrance of God Burial Valley. "Dao Friend Guiding Wood, you said that her dao companion''s name is called Mo Wuji?" Cultivators Embassy''s Embassy Lord Xu Ping suddenly asked. Not just Xu Ping, even Star Concealing Mountain''s Elder Rao Xi turned to look at God King Guiding Wood. At this moment, Qu You''s footsteps got faster. Soon, she arrived at the entrance of the Valley. Seeing that Qu You had stopped at the entrance of the valley, Rao Xi and Xu Ping didn''t continue looking at her. Instead, they both focused their attention on God King Guiding Wood. After all, this name ''Mo Wuji'' was related to them deeply. Even Tie Lanshan turned to look at God King Guiding Wood. He had also heard the name ''Mo Wuji'' multiple times. However, he didn''t have much of an understanding towards Mo Wuji. "That''s right. His name is indeed Mo Wuji. Dao Friends, you might have heard stories about him. This person is reckless and daring. He killed tens of genius disciples of top sects¡­" God King Guiding Wood nodded and explained. Mo Wuji had a notorious reputation in God Domain. It wasn''t weird that the people from God Continent had heard about him. Rao Xi suddenly sketched an image in mid-air, "Dao Friend Guiding Wood, are you referring to this person?" Even after Rao Xi drew Mo Wuji''s image, God King Guiding Wood didn''t seem to notice anything as he said, "That''s right. It''s this person." Mo Wuji had many great treasures on him. It was normal for many experts from God Continent to focus their attention on him. Rao Xi said coldly, "That meant to say that God King Guiding Wood''s previous claim that Mo Wuji had died was a lie?" God King Guiding Wood hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I seek your forgiveness regarding that. My sect''s Qu You has a stubborn way of thinking. If I hadn''t said that Mo Wuji had died, she might continue waiting for him. Thus, I decided to shatter her hopes. Moreover, it was true that Mo Wuji had been captured and sent here by the Black Mustard Merchant Union. It was just that it had happened a long time ago." God King Scoured Sea, on the other hand, seemed to see through Rao Xi''s words. He hurriedly asked, "Dao Friend Rao Xi, could you have seen Mo Wuji?" Cultivators Embassy''s Xu Ping harrumphed and said, "Mo Wuji had already gone to God Continent. In God Continent, he behaved even more viciously. In a secret domain, he slaughtered the disciples of countless sects. He even killed my sect''s Li Wuzhent who had only just stepped into the God Monarch Stage¡­" "What?" This time, both Guiding Wood and Scoured Sea uttered sounds of shock. Back when Mo Wuji fled God Domain, he was only in the Nascent God Stage. In such a short time, he was actually able to kill God Monarchs? "Dao Friend Xu isn''t bluffing. Not only did Mo Wuji kill Cultivators Embassy''s Li Wuzhen, he also killed Single Return God Sect''s genius disciple, Gai Ji, as well as snatched resources from my Star Concealing Mountain''s Ju Shen. We have to leave things be if he chooses to hide. But the moment he comes out, I''m afraid his life would no longer be under his own control." God King Guiding Wood and God King Scoured Sea both inhaled breaths of cold air. This Mo Wuji truly knew how to cause a ruckus. Even they knew how powerful the Cultivators Embassy and Star Concealing Mountain were. That Single Return God Sect''s Sect Head Fang Qiling was also a supreme expert. Exactly what kind of food did Mo Wuji eat for his balls to grow so big? In retrospect, his act of killing those disciples from Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect was only a small matter. "How did he get to God Continent? The transfer array through Nirvana Ocean had only been completed not long ago?" God King Guiding Wood muttered to himself. Rao Xi frowned and said slowly, "This person should have used some other method. He definitely arrived at God Continent before the transfer array was completed. Moreover, even if this transfer array was completed a long time ago, he wouldn''t have the rights to use the array." "This person had offended so many powerful sects in God Domain and his whereabouts have been revealed. I''m sure he definitely can''t live as freely as he did before," Guiding Wood said. Rao Xi shook his head, "I''m afraid that''s just wishful thinking. Mo Wuji offended many experts in God Continent but he''s still living fine. Everyone knows where he stays but no one dares to touch him." "Why?" Guiding Wood asked in disbelief. Even God King Scoured Sea looked at Rao Xi doubtfully. Even if Mo Wuji''s cultivation was any stronger, he could not be anything more than a Great Circle Heavenly God or a God Monarch. But was that very amazing? He offended God Kings but no one dared to touch him? "He stays in Nirvana Learning Academy. He''s even the controller of Nirvana Learning Academy''s Land of Mortals," Rao Xi said coldly. Before Nirvana Learning Academy''s competition for cultivation resources, Mo Wuji was merely an outer disciple of the academy. Staying at the Land of Mortals was equivalent to wasting his life. However, after the competition, Mo Wuj got first place and obtained cultivation resources that everyone desired. The Laws of the Land of Mortals were incomplete, causing it to be unsuitable for most cultivators to cultivate. However, cultivators that cultivated the Immortal Mortal Technique were like fish in water when cultivating in the Land of Mortals. God King Guiding Wood and God King Scoured Sea both glanced towards one another. They sighed inwardly. It seemed like this Mo Wuji would reach the top no matter where he went. Back when Mo Wuji was in God Domain''s Heavenly Mortal Sect, Mo Wuji was also able to obtain a high placing despite his low cultivation. Now, even after he went to God Continent, he was still a prominent figure. The only difference was that no sects dared to do anything to him now. Although they had not personally gone to Nirvana Learning Academy, they had heard many stories about it. At this moment, both God King Guiding Wood and God King Scoured Sea were wondering whether Mo Wuji would actually knock their Forgotten Creek Dao School''s door because of Qu You. As they thought of this, their moods instantly turned sour. "Ah¡­" Wang Yunqian suddenly cried out in alarm and he fell to the ground. Tie Lanshan sighed. He casually waved his hand and picked Wang Yunqian up. "It''s too late. Come, let''s return back to the sect." Everyone had seen it clearly. Qu You, who had stopped outside the entrance, suddenly charged into God Burial Valley. At this time, there was no need to talk about God Kings, even Unity Gods couldn''t have stopped Qu You. ¡­ There was no longer any news of Shuyin after White Bone Mountain Range. Fortunately, Immortal Empress Wen Lan was by Shuyin''s side. This fact slightly reassured Mo Wuji. With nowhere else to go, Mo Wuji returned to Heavenly Mortal Sect. Those years ago, although Heavenly Mortal Sect had fallen, it was still surviving. But now, weeds grew around Heavenly Mortal Sect. There was not even a single bit of god spiritual energy. Mo Wuji walked to the outer plaza of Heavenly Mortal Sect. It was also filled with weeds. At the same time, there were countless corpses littered between the weeds. This was a miserable and desolate sight. Mo Wuji picked up a grey wood tablet. He looked at the wood tablet doubtfully. This was because the words on the tablet seemed to be offering respects to Heavenly Mortal Sect. Although the wood tablet was broken, the words on it could still be seen. Heavenly Mortal Sect was exterminated by Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. Supposedly, those sects should have slaughtered everyone here. Who was it? Who managed to survive and returned to pay respects? Mo Wuji casually sent the tablet into his storage ring, then he hastened into the sect. The huge statue that stood at the foot of the mountain used to be slightly weathered. But now, it had completely fallen to the grown. It looked incredibly defeated and lonely. Looking at this statue, Mo Wuji''s heart started to feel a sense of grief for no apparent reason. He was very confused. Back when he first arrived at Heavenly Mortal Sect, Yin Lin said that the statue looked slightly like him. In reality, he also felt that the eyes of the statue looked like his. At this moment, he suddenly had this sense of grief. Could he actually be related to this statue? Chapter 1036: The Owner Of The Statue Chapter 1036: The Owner Of The Statue Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji bent down, extended his hand and stroked this statue. Strange information suddenly seemed to rush towards Mo Wuji''s sea of consciousness like tides. Mo Wuji hurried to protect his mind. After a long time, he finally released his hand with a look of shock on his face. His sea of consciousness was huge and vast, and he even had the violet lake of energy in his sea of consciousness. Even so, the information that surged into his mind was vast and complex to the point where the sea of consciousness of an average person could have collapsed. Within this complex jumble, there was extremely little useful information. Hours later, Mo Wuji only managed to organise a bit of the information while those information which he could not understand were burned. The owner of this statue was called Liu Xing. This Liu Xing seemed to be an impressive person. He also had a strong personality: he treated himself as the centre of the world. Eventually, this person offended an expert. He was surrounded and injured to the point where he could not recover. At the final instants of his life, Liu Xiong found a person called Guan Huan. Guan Huan''s talent was poor but he had an optimistic character. Liu Xing imparted his Dao to Guan Huan. After imparting the Dao to Guan Huan, Liu Xing broke his will into millions of strands and sent them into the vast universe. He hoped that a person could gather his scattered will and he would come back to life. This was all the information that Mo Wuji received. At this moment, Mo Wuji could no longer sit still. He knew clearly who Guan Huan was. Guan Huan was the progenitor of Heavenly Mortal Sect. All this time, he thought that Heavenly Mortal Sect''s existence was solely due to Guan Huan''s efforts. But now, Mo Wuji realised that Guan Huan had actually learnt the Dao from an expert called Liu Xing. Guan Huan probably crafted this statue with Liu Xing''s remains. The descendants of Heavenly Mortal Sect do not even know who this statue was. Some might even think that this was Guan Huan. However, Mo Wuji did not care about this. What Mo Wuji cared about was that Liu Xing had split his will into million strands and sent them into the vast universe. This fella was probably hoping for a day where he could use his will and come back to life. This was not a small matter. Mo Wuji was sure that he had a strand of Liu Xing''s will on him. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have felt such grief from seeing Liu Xing''s statue. Even though he had the Furnace of Heaven and Earth as well as the Heavenly Laws Elemental Pill, he wasn''t in the mood to cultivate. He stored the entire remains of the statue in a jade box. Thereafter, Mo Wuji sped into the depths of Heavenly Mortal Sect and entered his Mortal World. He started to search for that strand of will. Mo Wuji knew that this was harder than finding a needle in a haystack. This was because the will did not have a consciousness, even if it was attached to his soul. Only after his cultivation reaches a certain level and when this will becomes sufficiently strong, would it begin to develop a true consciousness. However, this was something that Mo Wuji definitely couldn''t allow. He needed to destroy this will before it started to develop a consciousness. The Mortal World was Mo Wuji''s own world. Inside, there was a pile of god spiritual veins and high-grade god crystals. Together with the Breath of Hongmeng and the Furnace of Heaven and Earth, this place was a cultivation haven. There was no need to talk about Da Huang, even Shuai Guo knew that it had to raise its cultivation, so it was assiduously cultivated by the side. After Mo Wuji entered the Mortal World, his consciousness seeped into every part of his body. This included his blood, his bones, his meridians and even his soul. One month later, the fatigued Mo Wuji opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with disappointment. He wasn''t able to find that strand of will. When he opened that jade box and touched that statue, the sense of grief was still there. This meant that the will was still in his body. Mo Wuji clenched his fists. No matter what, he needed to find that strand of will. Another month passed. Mo Wuji was exhausted to the point where his face was pale and his body had thinned. However, he was still unable to find that will. Mo Wuji stopped searching. He thought to himself: "Could I be the reincarnation of Liu Xing?" If this was the case, then he definitely wouldn''t be able to find that will. In reality, Mo Wuji didn''t like Liu Xing''s egoistic and self-opinionated character. But if he was really the reincarnation of Liu Xing, he would have to accept it even if he didn''t like it. Sighing, Mo Wuji decided to stop the search. He was going to raise his cultivation to the late Heavenly God Stage before deciding anything else. At this time, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Broken Sect''s imprint. Back when he was struck with Broken Sect''s imprint, he was also unable to find it. Although wills and imprints were completely different things, they were similar in concept. They both latched onto a cultivator, either through the will or spiritual will. An imprint was merely a tracker for the person who placed it. On the other hand, a will was far more terrifying. If it grew, it could completely take over a cultivator. If not for Nong Shuwan, he might not have been able to locate Broken Sect''s imprint. Nong Shuwan was a gentle-looking girl-next-door. However, she actually had the alias of Poison Fairy. She was an assassin for the Broken Sect and she had helped the Broken Sect kill countless experts. If he did not have the detoxification channel, he would have been one of those people. (See Chapter 318). The Poison Fairy Nong Shuwan was also a Transmigrator like him. Before she died, she told him where the Broken Sect''s imprint was. Broken Sect''s imprint was located within the circulation path of a cultivator''s cultivation technique. This imprint latched onto elemental energy as it flowed through the circulation path. In the beginning, a cultivator might feel that there were problems with his cultivation. However, most would probably attribute these problems to a lack of spiritual energy or cultivation insights. As time passed, that cultivator would gradually dismiss it. In reality, he had also dismissed the imprint latched onto his elemental energy during his cultivation. The Broken Sect''s imprint was the most brilliant imprint method that he had ever seen. Even now, he could only expel such imprints but he had no way of placing such an imprint on others. As he thought of this, Mo Wuji started to circulate his energy. This time, he carefully checked each strand of energy in his 108 meridians. What left Mo Wuji disappointed was that after another ten days, he found that there weren''t any hindrances nor problems to his cultivation. Just as Mo Wuji prepared to give up for the second time, a light suddenly flashed in his mind. Mo Wuji''s heart suddenly shook as he finally thought of what felt wrong. Actually, he had already felt that something was wrong a long time ago. It was just that he didn''t really take it to heart. Today, he finally found an answer. That was his peak-grade sacred art - the Wheel of Life and Death. Back when he stepped into the Immortal Reverent Stage, his Wheel of Life and Death also experienced a change. His original Wheel of Life and Death could suck away life force and convert it to death energy. After he gained a newfound insight into this sacred art, his Wheel of Life and Death could actually evolve from the life force it sucked. Back then, Mo Wuji already felt some apprehensions towards this. He had never heard of any sacred arts growing and evolving by itself. It wasn''t impossible for a sacred art to turn on its master if it had grown strong enough. Mo Wuji''s Mortal Dao was about slowly and personally gaining his own understanding and insights. The main reason was that he had his dao revelation channel to lead the way. Thus, Mo Wuji didn''t really understand much about why his sacred art could grow by itself; he only knew that something was amiss. Today, he finally understood what was wrong with his Wheel of Life and Death. A sacred art was always a tool for a cultivator. How could a tool grow by sucking the life force of its own master? This didn''t follow the natural laws. Mo Wuji knew that his Wheel of Life and Death was very strong. Before his Seven World Finger fully developed and before he had a more profound understanding towards the Laws of Time, his Wheel of Life and Death was his number one sacred art. Now that he understood the problem with his Wheel of Life and Death, Mo Wuji could no longer stay in his Mortal World and cultivate. He left his Mortal World and arrived at Heavenly Mortal Sect''s Sect Head Mountain. He definitely needed to get rid of the hidden problem in his Wheel of Life and Death. But if he wanted to retain his Wheel of Life and Death, how was he going to get rid of the hidden problem? Not use the Wheel of Life and Death? But that did not mean that the hidden problem was removed. The Wheel of Life and Death had always been one of Mo Wuji''s favourite sacred arts. Because of his vitality channel his Wheel of Life and Death would make him unbeatable among those in his same stage. In fact, it allowed him to transcend stages and defeat those with higher cultivations. Heavenly Mortal Sect definitely wasn''t the optimal place to expel the hidden problem in his Wheel of Life and Death. His Mortal World also wasn''t the best place. After some contemplation, Mo Wuji decided to go to Nirvana Ocean. Only in the Nirvana Ocean, would he be free of interruptions. Before he got rid of this hidden problem, he wasn''t going to find Shuyin. ¡­ Three months later, Mo Wuji arrived at the edge of Nirvana Ocean. He chose a location which was far from the Clear Ocean Path and the transfer array. After verifying that there weren''t any cultivators in the surroundings, Mo Wuji stepped into the Nirvana Ocean. The Book of Luo and the Sage Dao Talisman protected his sea of consciousness. Because of his Sage Physique, he didn''t even need to circulate his cultivation technique to prevent the seawater from corroding his body. Days passed before Mo Wuji found a flat ground in the bottom of the Nirvana Ocean. After installing a defensive array, he sat down and his 108 meridians went into reverse circulation. Each circulation path ended in his dao revelation channel. He wanted to use his dao revelation channel to search for a way to resolve the problem with his Wheel of Life and Death. There was no time in cultivation! 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years, 10,000 years passed in the blink of an eye. Travel between God Continent and God Domain was now a normal thing. New God Domain Nests continued to incubate, and the conflict with the Gods Race still persisted. In these 10,000 years, countless of Gods Race cultivators were killed. At the same time, countless cultivators from God Domain and God Continent were killed by the Gods Race. The notorious Mo Wuji had become a figure of the past. There were few that would even talk about him. Only when stories were told about the Primal God Lattice, people would remember about the generous cultivator called Mo Wuji. At the same time, they would remember the beauty Qu You who understood gratitude and chose to perish in God Burial Valley. Chapter 1037: Cut Cut Cut Chapter 1037: Cut Cut Cut Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji, who sat motionlessly on the bottom of the Nirvana Ocean, seemed to have transformed into a statue, with slight dao ripples around him. This was the only indication that he wasn''t a statue and was still deducing something In the 10,000 years, even though Mo Wuji didn''t intentionally refine them, the six pages of the Book of Luo that protected his sea of consciousness had been refined to the 106th restriction. Endless cycles of circulation through his meridians kept going, which made Mo Wuji''s god elemental energy accumulate to an extreme amount. If Mo Wuji began breaking through at this moment, he would reach a level that he couldn''t even imagine in a short period of time. However, all of this accumulated god elemental energy was only circulating in his sea of consciousness, Dantian, and meridians, and wasn''t used for breaking through his bottleneck in cultivation level. "Crack!" The dao revelation meridian gave out a small sound, and Mo Wuji suddenly opened his eyes as he felt a sharp pain in the meridian. There was no way for him to continue the deduction. His dao revelation meridian had reached its limit, and it wouldn''t be impossible for it to collapse if he continued using it to search for possible methods. Mo Wuji didn''t need to continue deducing the next step for his Wheel of Life and Death either as he already had a rough idea from his efforts of the past 10,000 years. With his present cultivation level, it was very impressive to get a rough idea at his current cultivation level. If he tried to push for more, it might backfire. After standing up, Mo Wuji reached the surface of the Nirvana Ocean in a step. The Nirvana Ocean appeared boundless and not a single figure could be seen on the horizon. Other than Mo Wuji, even if it were Unity God experts, no one would be able to stand here. Only he didn''t use spirit channels to cultivate and didn''t have spiritual roots. Calmly gazing at the ripple-less surface of the Nirvana Ocean, Mo Wuji''s heart started to form two sides on it and spread outwards in a similarly boundless fashion. One day, two days¡­ After the 49th day passed, Mo Wuji let out a long roar while his 108 meridians started to circulate wildly. He took a step forward on the calm water surface, and with continuous hand techniques, he formed a simple hand imprint in midair. Everything started from being ordinary. Only when starting from the ordinary can one slowly progress towards being extraordinary. This simplest hand imprint seemed to cross the boundless time and space, from the most ordinary to the strongest dao. It seemed as though as the scene before him was growing and then dying with the usage of more hand technique. "My Mortal Dao, Cut! Cut! Cut away all unnecessary thoughts and all illusions!" As Mo Wuji roared out, his hand imprint formed one after another dao killing instances which directly landed on his body. His vitality was struck down and his deathly energy was destroyed. At this moment, all sacred art dao unrelated to Mo Wuji were displayed clearly within his Grand Mortal Dao. The killing instances of his Grand Mortal Dao unhesitantly split apart the sacred art dao that did not belong, causing the energy of a consciousness that was invisible to the naked eye to fall into the Nirvana Ocean. "Boom!" The eternally peaceful Nirvana Ocean suddenly seemed to have top speed winds and crashing waves all around, and they formed walls of waves at Mo Wuji''s feet. This caused Mo Wuji to furiously spit out tens of blood arrows, making his entire face as white as a sheet of paper. However, at this point, Mo Wuji was extremely excited without any indication of being severely injured. A sort of relaxing and happy feeling never experienced before welled up within, and Mo Wuji felt this comfortable and free for the first time, without any restrictions. After cutting away the trace of consciousness that did not belong to him from the Wheel of Life and Death, his Mortal Dao finally improved! A long roar was expelled from his mouth, which made the surrounding waves seem like they were roaring for him as well, rising higher than before. Regardless how high the waves went, they could only roar at Mo Wuji''s feet and could not touch his body at all. Tens of array flags were shot out while void runes were drawn. Following which, a half peak grade god spiritual vein was thrown at his feet. At that moment, the 108 meridians in Mo Wuji began circulating at faster and faster and the vitality from the vitality channel nourished his entire body in the shortest amount of time possible. Mo Wuji cultivation level instantly broke through Heavenly God Level 5, Level 6¡­ The half peak grade god spiritual vein at beneath Mo Wuji also dissolved at a visible rate which prompted him to throw a pile of Heaven and Earth Law Pills and another half peak grade god spiritual vein at his feet again. Heavenly God Level 9, Level 10¡­ "Boom! Crack!" When Mo Wuji''s cultivation level reached Heavenly God Level 12, a terrifying thick lightning bolt struck him. Another loud howl went out, and Mo Wuji punched out at the bolt of lightning. Previously, when he underwent heavenly tribulation, he could absorb the lightning essence, but once the lightning tribulation became too strong, he had to switch to fighting the lightning instead. But now he could easily beat down the lightning essence, and the stronger the lightning tribulation, the greater the insights he would gain towards the lightning origin energy. Never before was there a more comfortable lightning tribulation, and never was his life as easy. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Bolts of lightning landed, each met with a punch. Mo Wuji''s cultivation level broke through the bottleneck and into God Monarch Stage. Only then did he completely exhaust everything he accumulated over the 10,000 years. The energy of the lightning bolts that rained down became increasingly weaker, and the roars of the waves at his feet weakened as well. Mo Wuji even stopped fighting the lightning bolts, focusing on his Undying World instead. The Undying World had grown to over 100,000 kilometres in radius, and the hills had gradually taken form. In the skies, there were even the sun, moon, and stars. While this was just the preliminary formation of a type of law, it had an actual outline. After gaining greater insights into lightning type origin energy, his Undying World had a new transformational energy. Shuai Guo and Da Huang watched the changes happen in the Undying World in surprise. During the 10,000 years, Da Huang''s cultivation Level was already had Heavenly God Level 7, and Shuai Guo also entered Heavenly God Level 3. Just as predicted by Mo Wuji, neither Shuai Guo nor Da Huang required any god lattice crystals to condense their god lattice and still could advance to Heavenly God Stage in the Undying World. Opening his hand, a jade box landed in Mo Wuji''s hand. Inside the box was the collected remains of the statue at Tian Ji Sect. At this point when he looked at these remains, it was like looking at a pile of broken rocks, without any effect on his emotions. The box of statue remains was thrown away, and at the same time, a ball of fire landed on it, reducing it to ash. Although Mo Wuji clearly knew that it would be better for the statue remains if he threw them into the sea, he didn''t really destroy that sliver of consciousness on his Wheel of Life and Death and only released it into the Nirvana Ocean. The sliver of Liu Xing''s consciousness should have belonged to this set of statue remains, so not destroying them would only benefit the consciousness. However, Mo Wuji didn''t have such a kind heart. This sliver of consciousness caused him to go into closed door cultivation for 10,000 years and used the Wheel of Life and Death to backstab him. While it wasn''t sentient, he wouldn''t just ignore it and even help the other party. After completing these actions, Mo Wuji threw out countless hand techniques once again, creating a Yin Yang Wheel of Life and Death on the wild surface of the Nirvana Ocean. Wheel of Life and Death! The Wheel of Life and Death no longer had the ability to absorb vitality and energy of death to grow, instead, the strength of its present iteration was completely determined by the level of his insights. The greater his cultivation level, the deeper his insights, the stronger the Wheel of Life and Death. Mo Wuji used a few dust removing techniques on himself, changed his clothes, and disappeared from the surface of the Nirvana Ocean. Since he became a God Monarch, Mo Wuji''s Wind Teleportation not only left no traces behind. Even at the moment when he teleported, there wasn''t any disturbance in wind element. Even if he were to face off against a God King, he was sure that he could escape. 10,000 years had passed. He didn''t know whether Shuyin and his Land of Mortals were ok. Originally, Mo Wuji should have spent the time to refine the Kun Wu Sword and Book of Luo, and as his cultivation level advanced to God Monarch Stage, he had to re-expand his sacred arts. But Mo Wuji missed Shuyin dearly, so he decided that all of this could wait until he found her. ¡­ New God Domain City. This was the first time Mo Wuji set foot in the new God Domain. To the entire God Domain, the New God Domain City was the largest cultivation city around. The city was built because the transfer array that crossed the Nirvana Ocean was situated it in. Not only was the transfer array connected to the God Continent located here, there were other transfer arrays leading to the newly incubated God Domain Nest. Transfer arrays linked to the New God Domain City were located in all major cities as well. This made the city a crossroad for all traffic, regardless whether it was a slowly developing mortal world or a cultivation world with high level laws. Simply put, being well connected meant that the city would develop very rapidly. In the God World, this still applied. The New God Domain City had been around for around 10,000 years, but it had already become undeniably the number one cultivation god city in the God World. Every inch of soil was worth an inch of gold, hence the factions with slightly less financial power couldn''t even establish themselves in the city. Altering his appearance to that of a nomadic rogue cultivator, Mo Wuji walked into the New God Domain City and the first thing he felt was how dense the god spiritual energy was. The energy gathering array was definitely Grade 7, which made him miss Cang Zhengxing a little. Only Cang Zhengxing could set up a Grade 7 energy gathering array. Compared to Xing Mu, Cang Zhengxing was the one that Mo Wuji truly respected These runes of the defensive array were too familiar to Mo Wuji. They were originally passed down by him, hence even if the New God Domain City activated its defensive array, it wouldn''t be able to stop him. Every green stone street was many meters wide, and the main street was over 100 meters in width. Although it wasn''t as grand as the Nirvana Dao City, the plans for this new city in the God Domain was definitely the most appropriate. Mo Wuji spiritual will scanned the streets without obstruction, and when he saw the sign of ''Black Mustard God Merchant'', rage and fury filled his heart. Back in the day when he just entered the God Domain, this god merchant house abducted him and almost sent him to the God Burial Valley. Now that he saw the Black Mustard God Merchant again, Mo Wuji immediately walked over. If there wasn''t any God King around, he would first destroy the merchant house. The number of organisations he had offended wasn''t just one or two, hence it didn''t really matter if he offended one more. Moreover, he had altered his appearance, so who would be able to recognise him? Chapter 1038: The Man With Two Seas of Consciousness Chapter 1038: The Man With Two Seas of Consciousness Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji also guessed that there weren''t any God Kings in the Black Mustard God Merchant House. If there were any, then Xi Nianmo would not have dared to randomly kill the guy named Ying Congchang from Black Mustard God Merchant House. The inside of the Black Mustard God Merchant House was actually bustling with noise, and there was at least quite a lot of people there. Although Mo Wuji was at God Monarch Stage, his Mortal Dao was progressing towards completion. As long as he did not reveal his true cultivation level, to others he would be no different from an ordinary Nascent God cultivator. Walking to the counter deep inside, Mo Wuji knocked on it and said to one of the shop assistants, "I want to buy some valuable items, are there any here?" He wanted to know if the Black Mustard God Merchant House was still in the business of god lattice crystals. Many people knew that 80% and above of god lattice crystals came from the God Burial Valley and even how they were collected. But there were no people that really went to bother about it. Newcomers like Xi Nianmo, who killed Ying Congchang on the spot after hearing that the Black Mustard God Merchant House did immoral things, were very rare. Moreover, Xi Nianmo might have killed Ying Congchang because the Black Mustard God Merchant House abducted her fiance, not because they harmed Nascent Gods to obtain god lattice crystals. Of course, the most important factor was that the Lightning Sword Manor was not afraid of the merchant house. Upon hearing Mo Wuji''s words, the shop assistant uninterestedly swept his gaze across Mo Wuji without caring a single bit. With one look, he could see that Mo Wuji was of low cultivation level and had average talent, so there probably wasn''t any money on him. Chuckling, Mo Wuji took out a ring and said, " I have god crystals, take a look." As the shop assistant''s spiritual will casually scanned the insides of the ring, his eyes lit up. He clenched his fists tightly and took a few steps forward until he was right in front of Mo Wuji. While he was just a shop assistant, it wasn''t his first few days doing business in the Black Mustard God Merchant House, so he had seen many situations before. However, Mo Wuji''s methods really took him aback today. Mo Wuji''s ring not only had 3 high grade god spiritual veins but also at least a few tens of millions of high grade god crystals. A mere Nascent God like Mo Wuji was already this wealthy. If he missed this opportunity, then he would not be worthy of being a shop assistant of Black Mustard God Merchant House. "We can go inside to discuss what dao friend wants." Seeing that Mo Wuji kept the ring, the shop assistant softly said. Mo Wuji responded with a nod, "Sure, please lead the way." The shop assistant instantly sent out a message before bringing Mo Wuji into the shop, directly to the second floor. This didn''t worry Mo Wuji at all as he was here to exact revenge anyway. Since he had altered his appearance, as long as there were no top notch experts here, after he destroyed the Black Mustard God Merchant House, he would flee from New God Domain City. Then he would alter his appearance and enter the city again a few days later. No matter how high the grade of the New God Domain City''s defensive array, it was as good as non-existent for him. Those void runes were originally taught to others by him. When Mo Wuji entered the room, his spirit storage channel had spread out it spiritual will and soon he was relieved. There were a total of 7 Heavenly Gods, 3 God Monarchs, and over 20 Nascent God shop assistants. The person with the highest cultivation level was a slightly plump, small-eyed, middle aged man who was at God Monarch Level 4. The shop assistant brought Mo Wuji outside an average sized VIP room on the second floor and said, "Dao friend, please go inside. Our manager knows that you''re a VIP and has personally come to welcome you." "Many thanks." Mo Wuji chuckled as he strolled into the VIP room. Inside, there was the small eyed, middle aged cultivator at God Monarch Level 4 that his spiritual will detected previously. Once Mo Wuji entered, the middle aged cultivator stood up and set up a restriction. He bowed respectfully towards Mo Wuji while smiling, "I am Black Mustard God Merchant House''s manager Wu Jingde. Dao Friend is very skillful. Your technique for concealing your cultivation level is unparalleled. Even I can''t sense your true cultivation level. You must be from a large sect." Wu Jingde definitely did not believe that Mo Wuji was only at Nascent God, as he would not have shown the storage ring to the shop assistant if it was so. Of course, he did not believe that Mo Wuji''s cultivation level exceeded God Monarch either. There were next to no Worldly God experts that continued to use storage rings beyond God Monarch stage. The reason why Worldly Gods got their name was that they could create a world of their own. The world that a Worldly God created was only a foundational world that used one''s grand dao as a base unless it was an expert that cultivated multiple daos concurrently, then the world that one created would have complete laws and could eventually form a true world of laws. Otherwise, that world was definitely inferior to Mo Wuji''s Undying World. However, regardless what kind of world a Worldly God created, they would not have to use storage rings ever again. Even if they did, it was for storing some unimportant items. All valuable treasures would be kept by the Worldly God in their own world - a world that only they could access. When a Worldly God was killed, then his world would dissipate, and his opponent might not be able to obtain the items in his possession. In Wu Jingde''s eyes, even if Mo Wuji concealed his cultivation level, he would be at most at Heavenly God Stage. After all, Mo Wuji''s spirituality was not obvious and dao ripples around him were barely existent, hence he must not have been very talented. With a chuckle, Mo Wuji replied, "Manager Wu can directly call me Liu Xing. I''ve recently hit a small jackpot, so I wanted to come to the New God Domain City to trade it for some cultivation resources. I heard from a friend that the Black Mustard God Merchant House has lots of good stuff, hence I made it a point to come here first." Seeing that Mo Wuji didn''t want to mention his cultivation level and background, and only said that he wanted to trade items. Wu Jingde couldn''t probe further either. If Mo Wuji came from some large sect, his Black Mustard God Merchant House wouldn''t be able to handle it. The Black Mustard God Merchant House might have grown very quickly these few years, but it still originated from a small merchant house. Despite knowing that Mo Wuji wasn''t from a large sect, Wu Jingde still chuckled while he spoke courteously, "What could Dao Friend Liu Xing be looking for?" "Resources, large amounts of cultivation resources. Of course, if there are god lattice crystals, I''m interested as well." Mo Wuji said without hesitating. Upon hearing Mo Wuji mention god lattice crystals, Wu Jingde was shocked to the point that he almost used his spiritual will to scan Mo Wuji. What kind of person required god lattice crystals? Only Nascent God cultivators. Didn''t this mean that the other party''s cultivation level was really at Nascent God Stage, and he didn''t conceal his cultivation level? Wu Jingde replied, shaking his head, "As one of the top experts of the God Continent, Cang Zhengxing, extremely dislikes the matter of collecting god lattice crystals from the God Burial Valley, there has been a lack of god lattice crystals all this whole. If it isn''t that urgent for you, you can make an order in advance and I ensure that I can get a Two Star god lattice crystal for you in at most a month''s time." A disappointed look appeared in Mo Wuji''s eyes as he stood up and said, "If that''s the case, I''ll come by one month later." Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, Wu Jingde panicked. He hadn''t found out Mo Wuji''s background but the other party was going to leave. How could he allow that to happen? "Dao Friend Liu Xing, actually, my Black Mustard God Merchant House has another kind of cultivation resources that everyone wants. I''m sure that once dao friend knows of it, even god lattice crystals would pale in comparison¡­" Wu Jingde was relentless in his selling. "Oh?" Mo Wuji responded, surprised. "What cultivation resource is that?" Wu Jingde chuckled, "Dao friend should think that condensing one''s god lattice requires the help of an external object right? However, my Black Mustard God Merchant House has already discovered a method for one to condense a god lattice without using any items. Moreover, the god lattice produced is much stronger than the one condensed with the help of other items." This information shocked Mo Wuji. He knew that the Mortal Dao did not require god lattice crystals to condense one''s god lattice, but he was not aware of other methods to do the same thing. As Wu Jingde saw that Mo Wuji was stunned, he continued speaking without being flustered, "This method is actually very shocking. I don''t dare to casually speak of it either. Unless dao friend signs a contract with the Black Mustard God Merchant House, I can''t reveal anything." By now, Mo Wuji had regained his composure, and he calmly replied, "Since Manager Wu isn''t willing to reveal anything, then there''s nothing to talk about." After finishing his sentence, he turned and left, sure that the other party wouldn''t let things end like this. If it was really going to be allowed to end like that, Wu Jingde wouldn''t have mentioned the method that didn''t require god lattice crystals. Never did Wu Jingde expect Mo Wuji to be so decisive, hence he quickly stopped Mo Wuji, "Dao Friend Liu Xing, I''m not sure if you''ve heard of double mental palaces and double seas of consciousness?" When Mo Wuji heard the ''double mental palaces and double seas of consciousness'', his heart leapt inside him, and the image of Tian Nu appeared before his eyes immediately. (Chapter 882) Tian Nu wasn''t destroyed instantly because he had two mind palaces and two seas of consciousness. After he met Tian Nu, they became friends in the face of doom and pledged to help each other out in the future. Eventually, Xi Nianmo killed Ying Congchang, and he was brought away by Xi Nianmo, never again receiving news about Tian Nu. In reality, Mo Wuji wasn''t that worried about Tian Nu. After all, members of the Black Mustard God Merchant House were all eliminated by Xi Nianmo. He had also removed the poison inside Tian Nu, so based on Tian Nu''s talent at hiding, it shouldn''t have been difficult for Tian Nu to escape. Could this person that Wu Jingde was referring to be Tian Nu? Tian Nu never managed to escape? As he thought of this, Mo Wuji turned around and said, "Manager Wu, it''s really quite shocking to hear of someone with two seas of consciousness, but what does this have to do with condensing one''s god lattice?" Wu Jingde replied while chuckling, "Dao Friend Liu Xing. If a person with two seas of consciousness can evolve a set of spiritual roots and spirit channels, and this condensation and forming process can be observed clearly by a person, what do you think would happen?" Mo Wuji created the Mortal Dao by himself, so how couldn''t he understand what Wu Jingde meant? Immediately, he asked, "Does Manager Wu mean that you have a person with two mind palaces, and as long as I pay a certain amount of god crystals, I can watch the person evolve a set of spirit channels and spirit meridians once, and use the method used to do that to condense my own god lattice?" "Of course." Wu Jingde replied firmly. "This method also depends on your talent. Even though it isn''t guaranteed to succeed, but once it does, the god lattice will be at least be of 5 Stars or even stronger." "I agree. Manager Wu, name your terms. I need to see the man with two seas of consciousness." Mo Wuji said without hesitation. Chapter 1039: You Can Go To Die Chapter 1039: You Can Go To Die Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When Wu Jingde heard Mo Wuji''s words, he was stunned. Before he had the chance to give some examples, the other party had actually agreed and even let him propose a price. Originally, Wu Jingde wanted to make Mo Wuji stay behind and slowly dig into Mo Wuji''s background. However, now Mo Wuji let him state his terms willingly, so he definitely wouldn''t miss this chance, "Dao Friend Liu Xing, honestly, it was your sufficient wealth that prompted me to do business with you. As this is the greatest secret of my Black Mustard God Merchant House, you''ll have to tell us your background first." Nodding, Mo Wuji replied, "That request is very reasonable. I am a rogue cultivator. I obtained some cultivation resources by chance. But with my level of talent, god crystals alone are not enough to allow me to improve. What I need are a large amount of good quality god pills and an excellent god lattice crystal." This declaration shocked Wu Jingde. Could this be a poser? Did he really think that large piles of god crystals and god spiritual veins could be used to purchase another pile of cultivation resources? Impossible. However, if the other party really came from some impressive background, wouldn''t it be better to reveal it? At least the Black Mustard God Merchant House would not dare to lay a hand on him, or could he really be a rogue cultivator? Suppressing the suspicion in his heart, Wu Jingde carried on, "The second condition is that dao friend has to first submit a high grade god spiritual vein and five million high grade god crystals as deposit. Of course, as compensation, I will allow you to view a crystal ball. We couldn''t record down the evolution of spiritual roots and spirit channels, but we can show you how others use this method to condense their god lattices." "Sure, I agree." Mo Wuji took out a storage ring and handed it over to Wu Jingde without hesitation. "There''s one high grade god spiritual vein and five million high grade god crystals inside." Wu Jingde had been thoroughly bamboozled today. Never did he imagine that Mo Wuji would be this easy to negotiate with, as this was practically Mo Wuji agreeing to anything he said. This really put him in a spot. Initially, his intention was not for Mo Wuji to pay that high a deposit, but for Mo Wuji to disagree and allow him to suggest different terms. However, before he could move on to the next condition, Mo Wuji directly fulfilled his previous one, so how could he play any tricks now? "What is it? Could Manager Wu have cheated me? Just to take my god crystals?" Seeing that Wu Jingde didn''t react at all, Mo Wuj frowned and spoke coldly. Indeed, Wu Jingde was in a dilemma. He wasn''t sure whether Mo Wuji was really a rogue cultivator, but he was extremely sure that once Mo Wuji was the recording in the crystal ball of Black Mustard God Merchant House, he couldn''t let Mo Wuji leave the building no matter what. The Black Mustard God Merchant House was very weak, and if the news that they possessed a unique treasure of a person with two Mind Palaces and seas of consciousness leaked out, it would be a major incident. "Of course not." When he heard Mo Wuji''s word, Wu Jingde grit his teeth, took out a crystal and spoke while activating it. "Dao Friend Liu Xing, please watch the recording." He decided to make a gamble in the end. If the other party was a disciple of a major sect, then Mo Wuji shouldn''t have taken out that many god crystals and god spiritual veins to Black Mustard God Merchant House in search for god lattice crystals. He didn''t believe that a large sect didn''t have god lattice crystals of their own. As for the possibility that Mo Wuji intentionally went to them looking for trouble, this was completely ignored. What cultivation level was Mo Wuji at? What could he cause trouble with? A distinct figure appeared before Mo Wuji''s eyes in the recording, and when he saw it, he almost swung his fist towards Wu Jingde. That figure was Tian Nu. When he saw Tian Nu for the first time, Tian Nu was already very skinny and weak. However, the Tian Nu at this moment was more like a bamboo pole. Two eyes without any life and skin on bones - how was there any sign of life inside him? Before Tian Nu appeared, a man in expensive garments stared at him. Although the process of Tian Nu evolving a new set of spirit channels and spiritual roots with his sea of consciousness could not be shown on the crystal ball, Mo Wuji could guess that he was being forced to do so. Upon noticing Mo Wuji''s disturbed look, Wu Jingde explained at one side, "Dao Friend Liu Xing, that cultivator with double Mind Palaces will not be able to endure a few more evolutions. Hence, our price will be a little higher this time. We''ll require four high grade god spiritual veins and 30 million high grade god crystals¡­" "Ok>" When the recording in the crystal ball disappeared, Mo Wuji sucked in a breath of air, and he spoke with a firm tone. "When can I see it." As Mo Wuji didn''t even try to haggle at all, Wu Jingde knew immediately that the amount of money Mo Wuji had was much more than this. There was no way he would allow Mo Wuji to observe Tian Nu evolving spiritual roots and spirit channels. Tian Nu was on the verge of death now, and no one knew if he would still survive. If it weren''t for the Black Mustard God Merchant house wanting to earn more god crystals off Tian Nu, he would have been killed long ago. Wu Jingde even didn''t bother to ask Mo Wuji to sign a contract. After all, this fat sheep was his for the taking. "That cultivator with two seas of consciousness is naturally not in the new God Domain City, so I''ll need you to follow me." Wu Jingde said with a smile on his face. Mo Wuji''s expression turned dark as he replied, "If that''s the case, would you please return my items to me? I''ll go to another merchant house." Leaving New God Domain City with Wu Jingde? Mo Wuji wasn''t that foolish. Inside the New God Domain City, Mo Wuji could attack because the defensive array was in a sense set up for him, and he could use Wind Teleportation to leave easily. Once out of the city, as a person only at God Monarch Level 1, how was he qualified to trade with someone at God Monarch Level 4? He wasn''t afraid of Wu Jingde, but at the same time, he didn''t believe that he would be up against Wu Jingde alone. "Dao Friend Liu Xing, what''s the meaning of this?" Wu Jingde voiced up unhappily as he frowned. Since the items were in his possession, it was impossible to back out anymore. In response, Mo Wuji casually spoke, "I''m only a Nascent God, and I''m willing to make a trade in the New God Domain City because it''s the largest god city in the God Domain. There are top notch experts guarding the place, so there''s no risk to me. Once we''re out of the city, who can assure that I''ll be safe? As long as I have god crystals, I don''t believe that I can''t obtain a god lattice crystal." All this while, Wu Jingde didn''t intend to return anything to Mo Wuji, and now that he found out Mo Wuji dared to come forward to trade with him because this was the New God Domain City, his heart was put to ease. Then, he chuckled while speaking, "Dao Friend Liu Xing, a deposit is equivalent to a promise, so how is it reasonable for you to go against your word?" With a wave of his hand, Mo Wuji caused a pile of consciousness crystals to fall onto the ground, "Manager Wu, it''s my fault this time, but those god crystals and god spiritual veins are meant for buying a god lattice crystal, hence would you please return them to me? To express my apology, how about I give some black god rocks that can be used for smithing to you? These black god rocks might not be some top grade stuff, but they can be used to make decent low grade god equipment, and even occasionally an intermediate grade god equipment." While speaking, Mo Wuji secretly hid an escape talisman in his hands although he knew that this action could not escape the eyes of Wu Jingde. The reason behind this was to prompt Wu Jingde to bring Tian Nu over and not attack until he was in a stable state. His initial plan was to destroy the Black Mustard God Merchant House, but since he found out that Tian Nu was in the merchant house''s hands, naturally he would also conveniently take Tian Nu away. "Consciousness crystal?" Wu Jingde almost exclaimed as he saw this pile of consciousness crystals. Thankfully, he was still smart enough not to do so. At this point, his heart was definitely not as calm as what he appeared to be. What black god rock used in smithing? This was consciousness crystals - a treasure which could also be used to condense one''s god lattice. There was actually such a large pile, so how much would this be worth? "Ha ha, Dao Friend Liu Xing is thinking too much. My Black Mustard God Merchant House has always worked based on trust, thus even if dao friend didn''t want to leave with me, I wouldn''t have kept your deposit. Please sit here for a moment, I''ll get someone to bring that double sea of consciousness cultivator over." Wu Jingde quickly followed up. Since he saw Mo Wuji''s escape talisman, he could sense that Mo Wuji was in a hurry to leave. Therefore the most important task at hand was to stabilise Mo Wuji''s emotions. Even if he wanted to get rid of Mo Wuji, he couldn''t afford to make a large commotion within the city. The only reason he didn''t dare to attack now was that Mo WUji''s true cultivation level was not known. He was afraid that if he couldn''t take out Mo Wuji, who had a concealed cultivation level, in one blow, a commotion would ensue. "Sure, I''ll wait here. Don''t worry Manager Wu, I have tens of millions of this black god rock to change to god crystals to pay you." Before Wu Jingde could lay his hands on the consciousness crystals, Mo Wuji swept and kept the entire pile. This statement shocked Wu Jingde thoroughly, and it made him a tad more worried. Was Mo Wuji doing this on purpose? Otherside, could Mo Wuji not know that consciousness crystals could be used to condense god lattices? After this thought went one round through Wu Jingde''s mind, he threw it to one side. Regardless, he couldn''t allow Mo Wuji to take those consciousness crystals away. No matter how strong this Liu Xing was, he was just an ant in Wu Jingde''s eyes. Thinking a few steps back, even if he really killed a disciple of a large sect, he would at most have to flee after performing the act. With tens of millions of consciousness crystals, why did he had to remain tied to the Black Mustard God Merchant House? What did the survival of the merchant house have to do with him? "Of course, I believe you." As he spoke, Wu Jingde sent out a message. Now, Mo Wuji closed his eyes and entered into deep thought, not speaking a word again. In reality, his spirit storage channel was setting up a deathtrap array in the merchant house. Seeing that Mo Wuji didn''t continue talking, Wu Jingde wanted to probe about the origins of these consciousness crystals, but he was also worried that Mo Wuji would become suspicious. Hence, in the end, he just joined Mo Wuji in sitting there. As for bringing Tian Nu over here, Wu Jingde wasn''t worried about it at all. Tian Nu was almost dead, and his men were looking after Tian Nu as well. All he had to do was to ask his subordinates to bring Tian Nu to New God Domain City, and the Black Mustard God Merchant House wouldn''t stop him. Half a day passed, and finally, the restriction on the door was disturbed before a blonde youth appeared at the entrance of the VIP room. Mo Wuji opened his eyes up wide, and Wu Jingde took over a spiritual beast sack as he said, "Dao Friend Liu Xing, you can use your spiritual will to scan the insides of this, then we''ll go to the meditation chamber to proceed further." Killing Mo Wuji definitely couldn''t be done in this VIP room, hence he had to trick Mo Wuji into leaving this location before carrying on with anything else. In an instant, Mo Wuji''s spiritual will detected a corpse like Tian Nu. At this point, Tian Nu''s entire body was grey, to an even greater extent than what was shown in the recording, and even his skin had a thin layer of black in it, showing his greyish-black bones very clearly. The sight of this caused killing intent to rise up from within. With a wave of his hand, all of the deathtrap array runes were activated and he unleashed a finger towards Wu Jingde, shouting out loud, "You can go to die now." Chapter 1040: The Person Mo Wuji Feared Chapter 1040: The Person Mo Wuji Feared Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Wu Jingde never thought that Mo Wuji would dare to make a move here, but he wasn''t worried at all. So what if Mo Wuji was a God Monarch? Even he did not dare to attack anyone in the New God Domain City, hence it was simply courting death for Mo Wuji, a mere outsider, to attack him here. Since Mo Wuji had done so, Wu Jingde didn''t bother holding back anymore and tried to draw his magic treasure out in a fit of rage. But soon his eyes were filled with fear, he discovered that the space around him had been locked in place by some extremely strong law power - it was a trap array. In that moment, he knew that he was wrong. Mo Wuji wasn''t some fat sheep ripe for the taking, and no matter what happened to the other party, he was going to die now. His opinion previously was that Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to kill him in a short period of time even if Mo Wuji was at the Great Circle of God Monarch. Moreover, to him, Mo Wuji definitely wasn''t a God Monarch yet. However, now that Mo Wuji had attacked, it left him without the ability to fight back. He wouldn''t be able to block a single strike, much less for a short period of time. "Boom!" Before the hopelessness had dissipated from Wu Jingde''s eyes, his body was already blown to bits. The Spiritual Beast Sack was directly kept into the Undying World by Mo Wuji. The first finger of the Seven World Finger killing Wu Jingde was just the start. At that moment, the entire Black Mustard God Merchant House had degraded to a form similar to the World of Man. Time flowed incessantly, life ceased to be in the blink of an eye. "Boom boom boom!" Continuous explosions rang out in the Black Mustard God Merchant House. Everything in the World of Man eventually turned to dust. The other two God Monarchs of the Black Mustard God Merchant House didn''t even have a chance to fight back, and their lives were wiped out under the effect of the World of Man. All cultivators surrounding the merchant house were stunned. Ever since the God Domain and God Continent joined forces to set up the New God Domain City, no one dared to fight in here, much less destroy an entire merchant house. If a merchant house in the New God Domain City could be destroyed just like that, the city wouldn''t have been able to progress till this day. Streaks of light shot towards the Black Mustard God Merchant House immediately, and no matter how fast Mo Wuji was, he couldn''t escape the enforcers of the city. "Ha ha Wuji, why have you gone into such a rage after arriving at the New God Domain City?" A warm voice rang out beside Mo Wuji''s ears. Stopping in his tracks, Mo Wuji replied excitedly, "Is this Senior Cang?" Mo Wuji used void runes to set up the deathtrap array here, hence if Cang Zhengxing was in New God Domain City, he would definitely not be able to hide it from Cang Zhengxing. Regardless how much he altered his appearance, once he made a move, a top notch expert like Cang Zhengxing would surely recognise him. "Yes, I was coincidentally in New God Domain City¡­" Cang Zhengxing paused for a moment and an array flag landed in front of Mo Wuji. "Wuji, this is the deathtrap array flag for New God Domain City. I''m giving it to you. Will you come to where I am to visit me now, or will you be going elsewhere first?" "Thank you Senior. Junior will be going elsewhere first." Mo Wuji felt extremely grateful towards Cang Zhengxing. Without asking why he destroyed the Black Mustard God Merchant House, Cang Zhengxing just directly gave him the array flag. Once the array flag was in his possession, Mo Wuji knew that there was a Grade 7 deathtrap array here. This meant that as long as he had this array flag, even if God Kings ganged up on him in New God Domain City, he would be able to easily take them out and control the situation. Mo Wuji was aware that if he went to look for Cang Zhengxing now, no one in the New God Domain City would dare to touch him. However, he didn''t want others to speak badly of Cang Zhengxing behind his back. After all, he had just destroyed the Black Mustard God Merchant House. After keeping the array flag, Mo Wuji easily left the city with a flash. By the time a few of the city''s enforcers landed on the rubble, Mo Wuji was already outside of the city. Once he exited the city, Mo Wuji let Tian Nu out of the Spiritual Beast Sack and took a few Life pills for Da Huang to help to save Tian Nu with. He then changed into a fresh set of clothes, removed his mask, and entered the New God Domain City again. "Mo Wuji?" When Mo Wuji step foot into New God Domain City, a slightly thin male cultivator stared at him in shock. 10,000 years had passed and Mo Wuji had gradually been forgotten by many. But once he appeared, people would immediately recognise him. The person that recognised Mo Wuji was named Lu Xingteng, a disciple of the Nine Evolutions God Sect. Back then, Mo Wuji saved Liu Ruting and Liu Ruting asked Lu Xingteng for a favour: to arrange for Mo Wuji to enter the Nine Evolutions God Sect as an outer disciple. In the end, Lu Xingteng simply ridiculed Mo Wuji and left, never bothering with Liu Ruting''s instructions. Actually, Liu Ruting didn''t bother about this herself either. To her, Mo Wuji was just a random passerby that she made use of. After seeing Mo Wuji, Lu Xingteng was agitated to the point that he was shivering. His talent for cultivation was quite decent, and in the 10000 years, he had advanced from Heavenly God Level 3 to Heavenly God Level 5. However he knew very clearly that his level of strength was peanuts compared to Mo Wuji. The hate between the Heavenly Mortal Sect that Mo Wuji was part of and the Nine Evolutions God Sect ran as deep as the oceans, hence at this point, since Mo Wuji appeared in New God Domain City, how could Lu Xingteng let this chance slip away? When Mo Wuji entered the city, Lu Xingteng immediately sent out a message. This time, they definitely could not allow Mo Wuji to escape out of New God Domain City. If it weren''t for his limited strength, he would have acted on his own already as it was rumored that Mo Wuji could have been carrying large amounts of treasures, possibly even a Medicinal Cauldron Stone. ¡­ Cang Zhengxing''s home was very easy to locate as it was the Nirvana Ocean transfer array''s headquarters in the city centre. Upon Mo Wuji''s entrance into Cang Zhengxing''s house, Cang Zhengxing stood up and smiled, "It had been 10000 years, and your cultivation level has risen again. The Land of Mortals indeed has exceptional abilities." "Mo Wuji greets senior. I''m really happy to be able to meet senior here." Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully. These words were from the bottom of his heart. Compared to Xing Mu, Cang Zhengxing was the senior that Mo Wuji truly respected. Cang Zhengxing responded with a wave, and gestured for Mo Wuji to take a seat, "I thought that something bad happened to you with the Yu Clan, and I went back to kick up a fuss with that old fogey, Xing Mu. But everywhere the Yu Clan were at were transformed into voids, and I could not peer inside with my current level of strength. There was nothing I could do. Now that I know that you''re ok, I''m very relieved." Mo Wuji knew that Cang Zhengxing sincerely cared for him, and he quickly replied, "There was a primal god spiritual vein hidden underneath the where the Yu Clan was located, and they asked me to set up a defensive array there to lock in the primordial energy. I took the opportunity to remove the primal god spiritual vein, which caused the space there to collapse, and I was transported to the Seven World Stone¡­" "The Seven World Stone?" Cang Zhengxing repeated with a surprised tone when he heard Mo Wuji mention this term. "Senior knows of the Seven World Stone?" Mo Wuji asked. Shaking his head, Cang Zhengxing responded, "I heard my grandmaster mention the Seven World Stone before. It''s rumored that the place that its located at is linked to seven worlds. Don''t ask me which seven worlds, I don''t know either. Wuji, do you have any way to get to the Seven World Stone?" Without hiding anything, Mo Wuji replied, "If we were in the Immortal World, I would know how. There''s a place called the Great Desolate Sea Domain in the Immortal World, and there''s a passage that''s directly linked to the Seven World Stone. While from here, I can''t go to it." Cang Zhengxing didn''t ask about it any further and carried on, "There''s a great secret to the Seven World Stone. When your cultivation level is higher, you can go to investigate it. I''m very happy to see that you''re fine, but when you return to the Nirvana Learning Academy, you have to be careful of Xing Mu that old fogey. He has rather ill intentions towards you." "Thank you senior for caring this much about me. Junior understands." Mo Wuji suspected long ago whether Xing Mu had intentionally asked him to go to the Yu Clan, but he had to evidence to prove it thus he didn''t mention this. Moreover, there was too large of a gap between Xing Mu and him currently. "Good, I''m about to leave this place too. Next time if you want to look for me, you can go to the border of God Domain Nest." Cang Zhengxing stood up as he spoke. "The battle with the Gods Race is still going on?" Mo Wuji asked. Since the time he came out from closed door cultivation, he had not found out anything about the Gods Race yet. With a sigh, Cang Zhengxing replied, "How could things end so easily. The people of the Gods Race indeed live to cultivate. Initially, we still had the upper hand, but as the laws became equal, experts from the Gods Race began to grow in number which didn''t bode well for God Continent and God Domain. Next time if anything happens, you can try to go to the Seven World Stone and only come back to take a look after your grand dao is complete. Also, the array flag that I gave you not only controls the deathtrap array here, but it''s a symbol of me as well. It will be as though as I am there in person." After finishing this statement, Cang Zhengxing disappeared with a flash. Mo Wuji bowed in the direction that Cang Zhengxing left in. This was a senior that he truly respected. When he mentioned the primal god spiritual vein, he considered giving it to Cang Zhengxing. In reality, Cang Zhengxing left before waiting for him to say so. Cang Zhengxing''s house had an unparalleled density of god spiritual energy. Mo Wuji knew that this was left behind by Cang Zhengxing for him to cultivate in. Although he really wanted to undergo closed door cultivation for a period of time, he knew that this wasn''t a good time. Since Cang Zhengxing gave him an array flag of power, he could at least use it to do some things. As he thought about this, Mo Wuji decided to go to the Hall of Missions in New God Domain City to try to gain information on Cen Shuyin and Ku Cai. As long as the both of them were still in the God Domain, they would definitely have come to New God Domain City. After all, this was the largest god city in the entire God Domain, and it was very well connected. On top of that, to go to the God Continent, one had to use the transfer array in New God Domain City. ... The Hall of Missions of New God Domain City wasn''t any smaller than Nirvana Dao City, and its interior was crammed full of people. On the various mission displays, most of the missions involved forming teams to kill Gods Race cultivators at the border of God Domain Nest. "Kiddo, what a coincidence meeting you here." A voice echoed from Mo Wuji''s side. This voice was extremely familiar, and it made Mo Wuji shudder inside. Upon turning around, he saw a long haired youth standing a few metres away from him, smiling. The youth appeared to be very young, and his cultivation level was around Heavenly God Stage. However, he had a rust covered buddha shovel on his back. "Kun Yun?" Mo Wuji instinctively took a few steps back. If there were anyone that he feared, Kun Yun would definitely be number 1 out of them. Chapter 1041: Indeed It’s You, Mo Wuji Chapter 1041: Indeed It¡¯s You, Mo Wuji Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations When he spoke, Mo Wuji took a glance at the rusty Buddha Shovel on Kun Yun''s back. This Buddha Shovel was still a cause of fear. If he didn''t know the background of Kun Yun, he might have ended up like everyone else - treating the Buddha Shovel as an ordinary magic treasure. But now Mo Wuji clearly knew that this Buddha Shovel was a top notch magic treasure. His guess was that Kun Yun carried it not to show off, but because Kun Yun didn''t have anything that could store the shovel. Once he thought about this, Mo Wuji''s heart trembled. If Kun Yun''s strength had completely recovered, Mo Wuji was sure that even if Cang Zhengxing and Xing Mu joined forces, they would just be ants in front of Kun Yun, much less if he did it. Kun Yun didn''t even have a magic treasure capable of storing the Buddha Sovel, which meant that Kun Yun was still an elementary Heavenly God. "You''re Mo Wuji right? That''s right, not long ago I saw someone send a message, and it seemed like he wanted to capture you." Kun Yun said causally, almost as though as he didn''t care that Mo Wuji wanted to kill him. Mo Wuji was also aware that someone like Kun Yun wouldn''t dare to show up unless he had absolute confidence. As for killing him, Mo Wuji didn''t care about it even more. In the New God Domain City, as long as Unity God experts did not show up, no one had the ability to kill him. "Kun Yun, you can cross your wooden bridge, while I walk my own path. We''ll just care about our own issues. If you want to convince me of something, I still haven''t got back at you for the issue of collecting the Immortal World''s fate." Mo Wuji knew that Kun Yun was a slippery eel, hence he didn''t want to be associated with this person as much as possible. Ignoring Mo Wuji''s words, Kun Yun carried on, "Mo Wuji, you cultivate the Mortal Dao, which makes you a pioneer of sorts. Although I want to strip the Immortal World of its fate, but because of you, I couldn''t help but give up integrating my sea of consciousness and wasted a significant amount of effort. I was thinking, why don''t we work together. With our combined intelligence, we can definitely get whatever we need. Oh yes, don''t think about making a move against me, you''re not qualified enough¡­" Even though Mo Wuji knew that Kun Yun was too scheming, he thought of himself as a worthy opponent for this person. Now that Kun Yun wanted to join forces with him, he declined the offer without hesitation, "Sorry, I don''t intend to work together with you." "This isn''t that urgent. Many years ago, I saw a few girls around here. One of them was named something like Cen Shuyin, and she secretly went around looking for information about you. Back then I even stepped in to allow the few of them to safely leave this place. But you have to know that I was just at Nascent God Level 1, so you still owe me¡­" "You know where Shuyin is at?" Mo Wuji grabbed Kun Yun''s shoulder and asked frantically. Without breaking a sweat, Kun Yun swatted Mo Wuji''s hand off his shoulder and replied casually, "Look, if I really wanted to trap you, I would have done so the moment when you placed your hand on my shoulder." Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "I''d like to see you try." He didn''t believe that Kun Yun was kind hearted enough to help Shuyin and co. "Let''s find somewhere to discuss this further." Kun Yun didn''t care about Mo Wuji''s threat and continued to chuckle while speaking. "Sure." Although Mo Wuji didn''t want to get involved with Kun Yun, but he couldn''t disagree with Kun Yun''s words. The both of them left the Hall of Missions, arriving at an average sized spiritual teahouse. When the spiritual tea was served, Kun Yun activated the restriction on the room, and said, "Mo Wuji, the reason why I gave up on my sea of consciousness really had some link to you. Firstly, you damaged my sea of consciousness. Secondly, you disrupted my plans." Mo Wuji replied unfeelingly, "I don''t dare to agree with you. If you didn''t try to strip the Immortal World''s fate away, how would I have landed in your sea of consciousness? Even me landing in your sea of consciousness was orchestrated by you right? It was only that I didn''t fall for your trick in the end. Moreover, the person that wanted to split up the fate of the Immortal World wasn''t me either. That person is still in the God Domain. If you want to look for her to cause trouble, it shouldn''t be that difficult to catch wind of news about her." Kun Yun waved it off, "I, Kun Yun, have lived to this day, hence I won''t bother with these pointless things. While you have damaged part of my sea of consciousness, its effect on me isn''t that great. The reason why I didn''t want to continue staying there to repair my sea of consciousness was that if I didn''t come out, once you grew further, I wouldn''t get anything at all." "What do you mean?" Muji stared at Kun Yun, puzzled. Chuckling, Kun Yun explained, "You''ll understand this in due time. Let''s discuss about our collaboration first." Calmly, Mo Wuji spoke, "Tell me where my wife, Shuyin, went first, then we''ll move on to other topics." Mo Wuji was very aware how scary Kun Yun was. This person in front of Mo Wuji might have been only a Heavenly God, but his treachery knew no bounds. Kun Yun also knew that Mo Wuji feared him, and in reality, he feared Mo Wuji as well. Not only did Mo Wuji possess all sorts of means, Mo Wuji also created the Mortal Dao - a Great Universal Dao that he didn''t even dared to think about in the past. If it weren''t for the fact that he would benefit the most from collaborating with Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn''t have come here to wait. Countless experts had fallen into his sea of consciousness before, but Mo Wuji was the first that could leave and force him to give in. He gave up on repairing his sea of consciousness further, other than because an unparalleled genius landed in it which gave him the idea of going with possession instead, but also as Mo Wuji had appeared. Others might have thought that Mo Wuji wouldn''t be able to achieve much based on the Mortal Dao foundation of Mo Wuji giving off nearly nonexistence spirituality. However, Kun Yun had a complete opposite interpretation. He believed that if there were anyone that would stand at the peak of the universe, it would undoubtedly be Mo Wuji. Therefore he had to come out to take the advantage of the fact that Mo Wuji wasn''t at the top yet, and at least fight for the opportunities that belonged to him. Otherwise, it would be too late by the time his sea of consciousness completely healed. "Mo Wuji, I came to New God Domain City just to wait for you. I knew that you would definitely come to New God Domain City once you appeared. Actually, I didn''t meet you first, but instead I met your dao companion, Cen Shuyin. She came here looking for you, and if it were not for me, she might have landed in the hands of others. Hence, you should be thankful towards me." Kun Yun calmly spoke while looking in Mo Wuji''s direction. This time, Mo Wuji began to believe Kun Yun''s words. He believed that Kun Yun didn''t need to lie to him. There was some enmity between them but that was because he had ruined Kun Yun''s plans and sent all of the fate that Kun Yun collected from the Immortal World back to the Immortal World. Someone as intelligent as Kun Yun shouldn''t have been that petty anyway. Surely he knew that even if he killed Mo Wuji, it wouldn''t benefit him at all and the lost fate wouldn''t come back either. "Just tell me where she is." Mo Wuji eased up on his tone. Nodding, Kun Yun replied, "This is the kind of attitude you should have. Your dao companion seems to know that you had some relations with a woman named Qu You in God domain, which made her rather unhappy¡­" "Nonsense." Mo Wuji retorted. Kun Yun simply ignored the comment and continued, "Women are always like this. Nothing happens without reason. Thankfully she met me then and I spoke to her. If she dared to secretly dig around for information on your whereabouts, it would have ended terribly for her group. Your dao companion was respectful though, as she asked me politely. I told them to stop mentioning your name completely, and go to fight on the frontlines against the Gods Race¡­" "You sent Shuyin to her death?" Mo Wuji shot up with a cold look in his eyes. Kun Yun chuckled, "Mo Wuji, ah Mo Wuji, I still somewhat admired you even though you ruined my plans. But now, I think I was probably mistaken. When I saw your dao companion, what cultivation level was she at? A mere Immortal Reverent which can''t be considered to be an ant. This sort of cultivation level makes her as good as a blade of grass in the God World. The battles of the God Domain and God Continent at the border of the God Domain Nest might be dangerous, but there are countless opportunities. She might die at any moment after I sent her there, however, she will also be reborn in the battles for life and death to become truly strong. Otherwise, will you protect them for the rest of your life? I don''t know if your wife was killed, but I know that if she didn''t die, she wouldn''t be any weaker than you now. Moreover, at that location, one''s battle experience would grow constantly, so can you still say that I sent her to her demise?" This statement calmed Mo Wuji down, and a good while later he slowly sat down. If Shuyin went around searching for him, it would be as Kun Yun said, she would die in God Domain one of these days. This was because he had offended one too many experts here. "I''m going to the border of the God Domain Nest." Mo Wuji took in a deep breath. The border of the God Domain Nest was the most dangerous area of all battlefields with the Gods Race. One''s life would constantly be at risk there. While it was as Kun Yun had said, and Shuyin could receive training there, at the same time, her life could reach its end at any moment. "There''s no rush for going to the God Domain Nest. That girl knows that you''ve moved on, so perhaps she has done the same and no longer cares about you anymore." Kun Yun seemed like he wanted to intentionally affect Mo Wuji psychologically Mo Wuji coldly replied, "That''s my own problem, I don''t need you to worry about it for me. Speak, what do you want to cooperate with me on? I''ll make my decision after listening to your explanation." In response, Kun Yun shrugged, "Our cooperation isn''t that urgent. You''d better settle that God King from Nine Evolutions God Sect first. I believe he came here to apprehend you himself." Indeed, after Kun Yun just finished speaking, the restriction on the room they were in was forcibly broken, and two God Kings appeared before Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji recognised one of them - Nine Evolutions God Sect''s God King Dark Bodhi. That goatee was almost his symbol by then. The other person had probably become a God King recently, hence Mo Wuji didn''t know him. "Indeed it''s you Mo Wuji. It''s been so long." God King Dark Bodhi grinned, seemingly adding emphasis to every single word. "Sigh, youngsters nowadays have no f*cking manners." Kun Yun didn''t even bother opening his eyes as he carefully took a sip of god spiritual tea. Chapter 1042: The Strength of A Grade 7 Deathtrap Array Chapter 1042: The Strength of A Grade 7 Deathtrap Array Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Mo Wuji chuckled to himself. Kun Yun was scolding ''f*ck you'' at others but also criticising other people for lacking manners. Seeing that a mere Heavenly God ant dared to speak so boldly to him, killing intent flashed in God King Dark Bodhi''s eyes. He was a God King, but this amount of patience wasn''t beyond him. In his eyes, Kun Yun was the the same as Mo Wuji: dead men. However, they couldn''t be killed now. While he dared to break open the restriction in this small resthouse, he didn''t dare to kill anyone here. The person in control of the New God Domain City wasn''t some God King expert of God Domain, but a Unity God expert of the God Continent. Without caring about Kun Yun, God King Night Bodhi added on, "Mo Wuji, there are some things I would like you to cooperate with me for. If you''re not willing to leave with me, I''ll just have to talk to you here." Mo Wuji stood up, "Then let''s go outside." This small resthouse couldn''t withstand an expert like God King Night Bodhi, hence Mo Wuji didn''t intend to start a fight here. Kun Yun continued sitting there, saying to Mo Wuji, "Come back soon. I''ve been waiting for you for a few years, not only a few days." In his eyes, it would be a piece of cake for Mo Wuji, a God Monarch, to kill a God King. "You should come along as well." God King Night Bodhi''s gaze swept across Kun Yun. Drinking the god spiritual tea in his cup in one gulp, Kun Yun coldly replied, "Who are you to ask me to move. Get lost!" The last two words hit God King Night Bodhi like a heavy hammer, causing a distasteful feeling to bubbling within. This thoroughly shocked Night Bodhi and cold sweat appeared on his back. At this point, he was sure that Kun Yun definitely wasn''t a simple Heavenly God. If two words from a mere Heavenly God could create an emotional imbalance in him, then he, Ding Zicheng, was too weak. The words ''Get lost'' also had top notch Laws of the Heaven and Earth integrated into them, which directly tore through his mental defences. God king Night Bodhi wasn''t even sure if Unity God experts could pull this off as this required an extremely deep understanding of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Since Mo Wuji sat together with this expert of unknown strength, it made God King Night Bodhi doubt whether his decision to come here was the right choice. "What now, didn''t God King Night Bodhi come to invite me out? I''ve already stood up, why don''t you lead the way?" Mo Wuji stared at God King Night Bodhi, whose expression didn''t change. Deep inside, he was shocked as well. At this moment, he also suspected if he would be a match for Kun Yun if he tried to attack. However, Mo Wuji soon felt relieved. He was the founder of the Mortal Dao, and when Kun Yun shouted out those two words, it should have included one of the Laws of Heaven and Earth in them. That might have affected God King Night Bodhi''s dao and made him back off, but it might not have necessarily affected Mo Wuji''s great dao. "Sure." God King Night Bodhi didn''t want to stay here for another second at all and quickly backed off. He had already made up his mind. If Mo Wuji wasn''t willing to follow him out of New God Domain City, he would leave temporarily. Only when he found enough help would he come back to see what Kun Yun was made of. Once they exited the small resthouse, the large plaza of God Domain''s Hall of Mission was before them. With a few steps, Mo Wuji landed in the center of this plaza, looking at God King Night Bodhi and another God King that he didn''t recognise while calmly speaking, "Night Bodhi, quickly ask whatever questions you may have." Originally, God King Night Bodhi wanted to forcibly bring Mo Wuji out of New God Domain City, but the appearance of the mysterious Kun Yun made him restrain himself, and instead he said, "Mo Wuji, back in the newly incubated God Domain Nest, were the tens of Nine Evolutions God Sect disciples killed by you?" Mo Wuji grinned, "They were killed by me. Back then I was acting out of self defence, hence I naturally had to fight back when they tried to kill me. Ok, now it''s my turn to ask questions. Was the Heavenly Mortal Sect eliminated by the Nine Evolutions God Sect? Was Heavenly God Sect''s God King Pang Jie killed by you and a few others? How many people were involved?" "I don''t know. Since you''ve already answered my question, I''ll take my leave." Due to his fear of Kun Yun, God King Night Bodhi, who originally planned to take Mo Wuji away, actually gave up on this idea for now. Raising his hand and throwing out an array flag, Mo Wuji laughed coldly, "You want to leave? Wait for your next life." The moment that the array flag was thrown out, the deathtrap array of the New God Domain City appeared in Mo Wuji''s consciousness with extreme clarity. At this point, if Mo Wuji wanted to trap anyone, he could do so by activating the deathtrap god array through this array flag. Mo Wuji couldn''t help but mutter to himself, "What a strong Grade 7 deathtrap god array." This deathtrap god array could take out tens of God Kings easily upon activation, much less if it were two God Kings only. "The deathtrap god array of New God Domain City?" God King Night Bodhi screamed out in fear after being trapped by the deathtrap god array. Many God Kings were aware that the New God Domain City had a Grade 7 deathtrap god array. However, no one knew how this array was set up and where the array base was. Only after Mo Wuji activated the deathtrap god array did God King Night Bodhi know how terrifying it was. The space around him turned deathly grey, and when he raised his hand to tear the grey space apart, his primordial spirit seemed to be stuck in sludge, unable to make any moves at all. The other God King that was in the deathtrap god array wasn''t any better. He had just advanced to God King for a short period of time, and he knew very clearly that this god array wasn''t something that he could break through at his current level of strength. Hence once he entered the god array, he shouted, "Dao Friend Mo, the incident back in the day had nothing to do with me. I was always in closed door cultivation and didn''t know anything about the Heavenly Mortal Sect." Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji regained his senses as well. His deathtrap array''s trap portion had only been partially activated and these two God Kings had already been successfully trapped, even without activating the killing array part. This made him even more impressed with how strong Cang Zhengxing''s Array Dao was. That array flag was an unparalleled existence in the New God Domain City. With the entire plaza outside of the New God Domain City under the control of Mo Wuji''s deathtrap array, Mo Wuji was aware of every single cultivator inside the array. Thus, Mo Wuji quickly threw out a few runes which ejected all unrelated cultivators from the deathtrap array. "Today, two members of the Nine Evolutions God Sect started an attack in the New God Domain City and will be dealt with. All related personnel please leave the area immediately¡­" As Mo Wuji spoke, he activated the killing array portion. Those cultivators who were thrown out had already long fled the area without Mo Wuji saying anything else. "Boom boom!" Once the killing array was activated, two flashes of blood burst out. Regardless whether it was God King Night Bodhi, who was at God King Level 4, or the newly minted God King, they didn''t have the ability to fight back at all and were directly eliminated by the killing flashes within the deathtrap array. After the deed was done, Mo Wuji stood there, stunned. How could it have been this easy? Two God Kings were killed just like that but not even a splash was made. Noticing many beams of light coming his way, Mo Wuji quickly kept the array flag and swept up the storage rings of both God Kings. "There''s not much use in taking their storage rings. Their good stuff will definitely not be inside." Kun Yun''s voice echoed out. Yet, Mo Wuji didn''t care about Kun Yun and incinerated both God Kings with two balls of fire while a few beams of light landed in front of him. Mo Wuji took out the array flag, "There''s nothing concerning you here. Not long ago these two men openly destroyed the Black Mustard God Merchant House, and I''ve already killed them." "New God Domain City''s Castellan Heng Tong greets the Flag Controller." A middle aged cultivator rushed over and bowed respectfully before Mo Wuji. This array flag from Cang Zhengxing was a good tool indeed - even the castellan had to pay his respects. It seemed like this Heng Tong was stronger than God King Night Bodhi, probably at God King Level 5 or 6. As a Grade 5 God Array King and a Tier 5 God Pill King, a God King bowing to him wasn''t much, and Mo Wuji nodded, "Just now the Black Mustard God Merchant House had an argument with these two God Kings and in the end the two of them actually dared to make a move in New God Domain City, directly destroying the merchant house. To uphold the laws of the city, I killed the both of them in a fit of rage." "Roger, does the envoy have any other instructions?" Heng Tong didn''t have any questions about the killing of two God Kings, instead asking Mo Wuji if there were any further instructions. "Mhmm." Mo Wuji replied. "Although the Black Mustard God Merchant House was destroyed, they had it coming. They exchanged low levelled cultivators'' lives for god lattice crystals. In the name of New God Domain City, go to round up everyone related to the Black Mustard God Merchant House. Don''t let a single piece of Black Mustard trash escape." "Roger." Heng Tong bowed respectfully once more before leaving swiftly. The area outside of the Hall Of Missions returned to its peaceful state. Even those who had witnessed everything quickly left. No one dared to stay here for long. Kun Yun chuckled, "You sure like to concern yourself with useless things." Mo Wuji casually responded, "I do like to concern myself with useless things. If you''re not happy about that, you can not work with me." "Why would I be unhappy with it. What has this nonsense have to do with me. Let''s go, we''ll go back to continue our discussion." Kun Yun waved his hand. "You must have your eyes in the Mortal Dao that I cultivate right? Does the thing we''re cooperating on require my Mortal Dao?" Mo Wuji was still wary of Kun Yun. While Kun Yun appeared to be a Heavenly God, a mere two words from him could shut a God King up. This level of strength was way beyond his own. Although he got rid of two God Kings without executing an attack himself, it was because he could control the Grade 7 deathtrap god array of New God Domain City. Once outside of the city, he might not have been an ant to God Kings, but he would only be able to run away. "You''re not wrong. But I assure you that there are great benefits to be reaped for you." Kun Yun patted his chest. Waving it off, Mo Wuji replied, "The benefits can wait. If you want me to help you, you will have to help me first." "Speak, what help do you require?" Kun Yun had a bad feeling about this. "I''m very angry that those two God Kings interrupted us just now. I want to wipe out both of their sects." Mo Wuji decided to make use of this opportunity to get rid of the Nine Evolutions God Sect and the Phoenix Soul God Estate. All this while he never liked to hold a grudge overnight, but now so many years had passed and he had not gotten his revenge yet. ... Chapter 1043: Kun Yun Shows His Hand Chapter 1043: Kun Yun Shows His Hand Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations Kun Yun lazily patted the rusty Buddha Shovel on his back and casually said, "I, Kun Yun, have walked down a path many times longer than yours, so don''t tease me with these small issues. If you were really angry, you could have asked Heng Tong to get rid of those two sects straight away. You probably have some feud with them right? That''s why you want to go personally. Otherwise, those two pieces of trash wouldn''t have come knocking on your door either." "So will you go or not?" Mo Wuji couldn''t be bothered to rebut Kun Yun. He didn''t believe that Kun Yun hadn''t done research into his background all these years. Everyone knew of the great enmity between him and the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate. Hence it wouldn''t be difficult to find out about this, yet this fella made it sound like he had inferred everything. If he, Mo Wuji, was so easy to fool, he wouldn''t have lived till this day. Ignoring Mo Wuji''s attitude, Kun Yun responded, "I can go. With your current strength, it''s just not possible for you to wipe out two sects. I''m not underestimating your abilities." "That''s why I''m asking for your help. If you can''t even help me with this, why should I help you?" Mo Wuji said without hesitation. This statement made Kun Yun almost jump up, "Let me make this clear, you''re not helping me. We''re working together. Working together. Do you understand?" "Before we work together, I want to see your sincerity. Tell me, will you do it or not?" Mo Wuji didn''t care about Kun Yun''s anger. He was sure that Kun Yun had some way to take out those two sects just based on a hunch. With a sigh, Kun Yun agreed, "Sure, I''ll help. Actually I know that your intention is for me to settle the entire issue by myself. I don''t believe that eliminating two sects will be of any use to you." Actually, even if Kun Yun didn''t agree, Mo Wuji would have expected it and it would have given him an excuse to turn down Kun Yun''s proposal. However, he never imagined that Kun Yun actually agreed to it. No matter how impressive Kun Yun was, the current him was still a mere Heavenly God. Seeing that Mo Wuji stopped talking,Kun Yun spoke, "Mo Wuji, you can''t be going back on your word right?" Mo Wuji laughed. "How could I, Mo Wuji, default on something I''ve agreed on?" Kun Yun looked at Mo Wuji with approval, "That''s the way. I thought that you would require me to swear not to attack you while we''re working together." As Mo Wuji''s gaze swept across Kun Yun once more, he replied, "Kun Yun, I don''t know who you were in the past, but I am a God Monarch at the very least, so if I have to worry about a Heavenly God like you attacking me, then I don''t have to cultivate dao anymore. If you want to fight, feel free to do so, as long as you don''t regret it." Just as Mo Wuji had said, if he didn''t have this bit of faith, he really didn''t have to continue cultivating dao. "Don''t worry, I won''t attack you." Kun Yun chuckled. No one could predict what he had in mind. "Before this, I have to make a trip to the border of God Domain Nest." Mo Wuji decided that he had to go to the border to look for Shuyin first. Casually, Kun Yun remarked, "Mo Wuji, even if we disregard the fact that your dao companion has gone to the border of God Domain Nest for around 10,000 years and had just gone over, do you have the ability to find her in a short period of time? The border of God Domain Nest is boundless and has over a trillion cultivators, countless restrictions, and many complex factions at work. How will you carry out your search?" Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji became silent. He knew that Kun Yun was right, but he wasn''t about to resign to fate. After some time, he asked, "Kun Yun, tell me what you want to cooperate with me on." "To search for something. Don''t worry, it won''t harm you in any way and it isn''t very dangerous. After you''ve exacted your revenge, we can increase our strength a little more before we go over." From the start, Kun Yun expected Mo Wuji to ask this, hence his response came very quickly. ¡­ If no large sects from the God Continent came over, the Nine Evolutions God Sect would definitely be considered a large sect. There was at least one God King in the sect, God King Night Bodhi. Moreover, thousands of years ago, the Nine Evolutions God Sect produced another God King as well. But after many large sects from the God Continent came to the God Domain, the Nine Evolutions God Sect could only be considered a decent sect. At this point, outside of the Nine Evolutions God Sect, Mo Wuji watched as Kun Yun set up an explosion god array. The array flags in Kun Yun''s hands were like musical notes that bounced around, and they were continuously added outside of the Nine Evolutions God Sect''s sect defensive array without leaving any traces behind. While Mo Wuji was a Grade 5 God Array King, he knew that his level of Array Dao paled in comparison to Kun Yun''s as he looked at the way Kun Yun set up the array. Even Cang Zhengxing''s Array Dao wouldn''t be good enough in Kun Yun''s eyes. Finally, he understood why Kun Yun wasn''t frightened in New God Domain City. With such Array Dao at his disposal, Kun Yun could have definitely made use of Cang Zhengxing''s deathtrap array. Although there were many aspects of the array flag placement that Mo Wuji didn''t really understand, he still managed to learn a lot from Kun Yun. A Grade 7 explosion god array was completely set up by Kun Yun in a mere five days. Mo Wuji was aware that this was due to Kun Yun''s insufficient strength. If Kun Yun''s cultivation level was higher, with his Array Dao methods, it would have taken just a few breaths to complete this explosion god array. "Let''s go, we''ll go to Phoenix Soul God Estate." After setting up the explosion god array, Kun Yun didn''t trigger this deathtrap array, instead proposing to go to Phoenix Soul God Estate. "Why don''t you activate the explosion god array?" Mo Wuji thought that Kun Yun was about to set off the array and was ready to speak up. "You''re really still a novice. You appearance in New God Domain City probably reached the ears of Phoenix Soul God Estate right? Now if the Nine Evolutions God Sect blew up out of nowhere, would the Phoenix Soul God Estate still allow us to set up an explosion god array outside easily? Who do you think you are?" Kun Yun said while staring at Mo Wuji. In his heart, Mo Wuji thought, "This guy must do this on a frequent basis." "Kun Yun, I have an acquaintance in Nine Evolutions God Sect. I want to find a way to let her know so that she can escape first." Mo Wuji ignored Kun Yun''s stare. Kun Yun casually replied, "You''re talking about the female cultivator Xi Nianmo right? You''re really a casanova. She went to the border of God Domain Nest in search of opportunities a long time ago. The amount of hate she carries is no less than you, and based on my estimates, her cultivation level should be at elementary God Monarch as well." Not another word was uttered by Mo Wuji as he expected that Kun Yun had investigated everything there was to find out about his past. From the way those old fogey did things, they wouldn''t have waited for him for so many years. Days later, Kun Yun finished setting up the explosion god array of the Phoenix Soul God Estate. The moment that Kun Yun activated the array flags, two terrifying explosions simultaneously ripped through where the Nine Evolutions God Sect and Phoenix Soul God Estate stood. A Grade 7 explosion god array could even tear the God Domain or Laws of Space apart. It would be difficult for God King cultivators to escape death as well. Two sects were totally wiped off the face of God Domain, and God King Salt Pavillion, who was absent from Phoenix Soul God Estate, was able to escape this tragedy. As he observed the two locations blow up, Mo Wuji''s heart was at peace. Back then the Phoenix Soul God Estate and Nine Evolutions God Sect had wiped out the Heavenly Mortal Sect, killed Heavenly Mortal Sect disciples, and sent out a warrant for his arrest over some minor issues, which made him swear to get rid of such sects. Today, although he had used Kun Yun to achieve his goal, he did not regret it at all. "Kun Yun, you can tell me what you need help with now. I''ll go with you." Once the explosions at both sects died down, Mo Wuji looked directly at Kun Yun and said. Since he had agreed to it, he would follow through with his words. Kun Yun chuckled once more, "You said it wrongly again. How many times have I told you, it''s not that you need to help me with something. We''ll be working together, do you understand what working together means? We still can''t go over there now because we are not strong enough. What we need is to go to the border of God Domain Nest to improve our cultivation level. There are complete laws and large piles of cultivation resources there. Once I''ve reached God Monarch Stage, we can continue." Coldly laughing, Mo Wuji responded, "In the end it''s your cultivation level that''s too low and not mine right?" "You can think whatever you want. Regardless, our strength is insufficient. We can stay for at most 10 years at the border of God Domain Nest, and after that we can go over¡­" Mo Wuji interrupted Kun Yun, "You''re saying that you can become a God Monarch in 10 years?" While he already felt that his rate of cultivating was very fast, Mo Wuji didn''t dare to claim that he could progress from elementary Heavenly God to God Monarch in a mere 10 years. "Other people might not be able to do it, but that doesn''t mean I can''t do it." Kun Yun remarked. "You''re now at the Great Circle of Heavenly God? So the elementary Heavenly God Stage that I detect is fake?" Mo Wuji asked after regaining his composure. "You''re wrong. I''m now half a step into God Monarch already. With your insignificant cultivation level, don''t even dream about sensing my cultivation level." Kun Yun rolled his eyes. "Ok, we''ll set a time for 10 years later then." It was apparent to Mo Wuji that it was normal to not be able to get an accurate read of an old monster like Kun Yun. It would be abnormal if he could actually get an accurate read instead. Kun Yun replied by vigorously shaking his head, "No, definitely no. I''ve waited here for you for so many years but you can''t wait for me for 10 years? In this 10 years, you must be by my side at all times. Oh, that''s not right, we must be together at all ties." Mo Wuji coldly commented, "You''re trying to gain insights into my Mortal Dao while I cultivate?" Wen he heard Mo Wuji''s words, Kun Yun, who had always been in control of the conversation, suddenly choked and spoke in a slightly awkward manner, "You can''t really put it as gaining insights into your Mortal Dao. Your Mortal Dao is indeed exceptional, and I need to take reference to it. Do you know what it means to refer to it? Of course, if there''s anything you don''t know, you can ask me as well." In his heart, Kun Yun thought to himself, "This is a devil." The reason he could guess what Mo Wuji would do next was that he had investigated Mo Wuji for many years. However, Mo Wuji simply used one sentence of his to predict what he wanted to do. It seemed like he had to be more careful while cooperating with Mo Wuji, otherwise he might end up getting the short end of the stick. The number of low levelled cultivators he had met wasn''t that small, but this fella in front of him was the most sly and the hardest to settle. Anyway, he had been the only one putting in any effort so far, hence there wasn''t much headway made for the cooperation. "If you don''t agree, it''s fine. You can simply not cultivate, and I can''t gain insights into anything if you don''t cultivate. Anyway when I cultivate, feel free to try to gain some insights." Seeing that Mo Wuji had a pretty ugly expression on his face, Kun Yun said awkwardly once more. Calmly, Mo Wuji asked, "If we went up against a God King, can you deal with it?" "What are God Kings, I, Kun Yun, can totally take care of them." Kun Yun waved it off. "So that means you can take care of me whenever you want to?" Mo Wuji stared at Kun Yun. Kun Yun shook his head, "Those are two different things. You won''t understand even if I explained it. This difference is caused by the Laws of Heaven and Earth. Your dao has nothing to do with the Laws of Heaven and Earth here, which is also why I want to work together with you." "Sure, I agree. Let''s go to the border of the God Domain Nest now." Mo Wuji didn''t probe any further and nodded in agreement without hesitating. ... Since the time that Mo Wuji and Kun Yun strolled off after eliminating the two large sects, the entire God Domain fell into disarray. Regardless whether it was Phoenix Soul God Estate or Nine Evolutions God Sect, they were the top sects of the God Domain. However, they were destroyed overnight. Hence this was definitely a very significant incident. The surviving God King Salt Pavillion of Phoenix Soul God Estate wasn''t in the state of mind to do anything else and rushed straight to the God Protection Hall. The God Protection Hall was jointly built up by experts from the God World and God Domain. It was located at the border of God Domain Nest, and this was where the final headquarters of the battle between the God World and Gods Race was at. Chapter 1044: Are You Back For Revenge Chapter 1044: Are You Back For Revenge Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations By the time God King Pavilion rushed over to the God Protection Hall, he discovered that over 10 God Kings had gathered there already. The head of the 10 Great God Kings of God Domain, God King Blazing Heaven, sat at the top. Other than God King Blazing Heaven, God King Uncruel, Scoured Sea, Orchid Tomb, Ming Yang, Lone Cauldron, and Rising Sea were here as well. Seeing that his old friend God King Yi Ming was present, God King Salt Pavilion heaved a sigh of relief before angrily speaking, "Fellow dao friends, I, Salt Pavilion, put my life on the line in the fight against the Gods Race, but my Phoenix Soul God Estate was reduced to rubble by others. If the God Domain is as such, how can we continue to motivate cultivators to fight for our sovereign lands?
